Knowledge is for passing along...

January 2009
Aquarius: (Jan 21-Feb. 19): As January begins Saturn the karmic task master is retrograde in the sign of Virgo. Retrogrades bring opportunities for review. The reality is, we get 3 chances at the big karmic lessons that Saturn teaches. The 1st, when the planet has its first pass, the 2nd when the planet retrogrades and the 3rd when the planet goes direct again, for a third pass. How the 2nd and 3rd affect you is dependent on how much you resist the energy. Typically a retrograde asks us to release or let go of an action, habit, idea or behavior. The more unwilling we are to submit, the more difficult the transit will be. In your solar 8th house of ridding yourself of bad habits, addictions, life and death sex and healing, this house is a house of secrets and mystery it's where we fear death and letting go because we don't know how our lives will be if we actually let go of a habit, a person, an addiction and illicit love affair, or another's money! It's not an easy transit and this year it is additionally made more difficult by the opposition to Uranus! If you don't break your bad habits, Uranus will make you!
Since the newly elected president Barack Obama was elected when Saturn was at 19* Virgo, he's going to have to try to do the impossible and keep his promises or he will come under severe criticism when Saturn resumes direct motion. Since the Israeli war with the Palestinians began just before Saturn's retrograde this suggests it will continue through January and then again when Saturn approaches 21* Virgo again near the eclipses in August. The planets Mars, Mercury and Venus have all changed signs and now the challenges begin.
Mercury ruler of your 5thhouse of children, love and luck enters Aquarius your solar 1st house of charm and personality. Just about everything you attempt to do or put into motion ha great potential and could prove very fortunate now! You make your own luck and opportunities.
Venus the planet of love ruler of your 9th house of new experiences, travel and learning enters Pisces your solar 2nd house of money giving an added boost to taking chances and following your hunches. Legal matters can be resolved and money can be made through them.
Jupiter the planet of luck and expansion enters the unique and exciting sign of Aquarius your solar 1st house of physical appearance, charm and magnetic attraction making you the belle of the ball! People will give you more recognition and notice you more than they ever had. Jupiter will join Chiron and Neptune already in the sign of Aquarius, on a personal and romantic level we will rebel against anyone using evasive behavior where you have to read between the lines and innuendos which keep you longing for the possibility of and hope of something down the line. Subtle hints, innuendos, implied promises and clandestine messages play on that part of your brain we are not used to using, causing a reaction of the nuclear type, when continual disappointment results.
The Full Moon at 21* Cancer occurs in your solar 6th house of work and co workers who you feel very close to. Changes could occur in the work place, and there could be people who are let go or leave.
Mercury goes retrograde at 7* Aquarius until January 31st when it resumes direct motion at 21* Capricorn, where it was last on December 26th, 2008, in your solar 1st house of self assertion your coordination could be off, so it's best to concentrate more as you walk of ice, especially if you are in a colder region! Typically Mercury retrogrades aren't a good time to start new ventures, relationships, sign contracts and make commitments.
The Sun enters Aquarius just in time for the US Presidential Inauguration of Barack Obama. The Sun will transit your solar 1st house this is your time of the year for fresh starts and starting over. Put all your thoughts into action or formulate a new plan of action for your future and the goals you would like to achieve.
There's a New Moon eclipse at 6* Aquarius a Solar Eclipse PT and the Chinese will celebrate The Chinese New Year, "Year of the OX". Hard work leading to success is the theme of the Year of the OX! This occurs in your solar This is a powerful eclipse in your 1st house of new beginnings and a time when you are apt to get your way more. Since Aquarius is electric and magnetic you could attract lots of interest from the opposite sex!
Mercury retrograde conjoins Mars in Capricorn, and these two planets have been transiting side by side like little soldiers for about the last year! Their influence is felt in tele-communications, weather and electrical mishaps or outages. This could infer that a 3-4 day outage in one of these areas is possible. In your solar 12th house of self undoing keep up on maintenance and repairs of appliances and cars or you could get stranded. As the month ends Mercury goes direct in Capricorn.
December 2008
Aquarius: (Jan 21-Feb. 19): As the month of December begins the 1st quarter Moon, Venus and Jupiter align in the heavens in the sign of the sea goat Capricorn. Neptune the planet of irresistible dreams parallels this combination, making both wishes and dreams not just come true but, come alive. A close bunching of planets that includes the Sun, Mercury, Mars, the Moon, Venus, Jupiter, Chiron, Neptune, the Lunar Nodes and Pluto in the signs of Sagittarius, Capricorn, and Aquarius giving a strong emphasis on these 3 signs in the upper quadrant. In our lives this deals with our strong desire to always better ourselves. In the mundane world, its government and authority and those who rule over us, for good or for bad. We all feel times are changing and perhaps desire to change and better our plights by learning more to get a better position or just going for that golden ring! If you get a chance go outside and have a look, they will be brightly shining in the sky...Find the Moon and Venus and Jupiter will be close by! Love, good fortune and prosperity are indicated by this fortunate combination. The massive planet Jupiter, pairs with the lovely planet Venus at 22*; within 2 degrees of a trine with Saturn in Virgo at 20*; for now the news is good for the economy and the world. The Moon, Venus and Jupiter in Capricorn mean that there could be more positive and dramatic political intervention in the economy. The economic indicators could show that there is a marked improvement. Since it is the 1st week of holiday shopping, people could be ready to spend, despite everything. We will see signs that the world economies are improving due to all the recent intervention and attention. The sign of Capricorn influence politics in world events and we can see that the mood is hopeful; something good could take place politically. Maybe you don't see it but, you are in always the person to beat or the good example to others. A weary Aquarius wants things to pay off now! You could be tired of all the time and effort you give, have given and are always expected to give...when is it going to be your time? There could be something more for Aquarius than just a big pay day. With Neptune in your 1st house you don't have a plan or definitive idea about starting over, you'd just like to savor the rewards for a job well done. Most of the houses aspected signify an experience that could transcend material or financial rewards. Maybe the rewards you yearn for are from people.
What sign really rules luck though? Sagittarius does! In the sign of Sagittarius we have the Sun, Mars and Mercury, aspected by the Lunar Nodes, who have been marching across the heavens like little soldiers for a long time, and continue to do so through December. We don't want to rely on luck anymore! Their influence should make us look towards the future in and adventurous and optimistic way and fuels our curiosity about everything! Dare we believe though? Instead we can easily get caught up in fear that which will never happen. In your solar 11th house of mentors, expectations, friends and hopes and fears you'd like nothing more than acknowledgement from those in power, and those who can help you. The people who are going to be most influential though may not be the people you are thinking of.
Mercury ruler of your solar 5th house of love and romance enters Capricorn your solar 12th house of secrets, sorrows and self undoing. You could be wondering how to get someone to notice you or love you. Love is a tricky thing though you can't talk someone into loving you. Karma is another tricky thing it demands patience.
The Full Moon 21* Gemini, occurs in your solar5th house of love, the sign of Gemini communicates and likes to talk people into things, It won't work right now, so you could get frustrated as your impatience takes over. Remember people have a tendency to be more emotional during the Full Moon.
As the Sun enters Capricorn, it's the Winter Solstice, the longest night of the year and the time when winter has truly arrived. To mark this occasion The Sun conjoins Pluto, depending on your planets this represent a strong fortified ego, determined and proud. In your solar 12th house of spirituality, solitude and karmic endings, this is also a house of tying up loose ends, in order to begin fresh with a clean slate. Powerful spiritual experiences can occur right now if you are patient and quiet. Mars enters Capricorn your solar 12th house and as the ruler of your 3rd house of communications, you could have a ton of paper work to do as the year closes. Just when you get something done one way, you may have to turn around and do it another way. One job feels like two jobs! The New Moon at 6* Capricorn, occurs in your solar 12th house of secrets, sorrows and fears this is an excellent time because you are going to go face to face with some irrational fears that aren't serving you anymore. You could have some extra time to complete tasks.
Saturn in Virgo goes retrograde, on December 31. Remember this means that Saturn is not going backwards, at its furthest point away from our planet Earth, thereby changing the light we receive from it. This is called Red shift. How you react to that light depends on the influence Saturn retrograde will have on you. In your solar 8th house of purging yourself of everything that is unnecessary in your life. Throwing out garbage just makes room for something better!

November 2008
Aquarius: (Jan 21-Feb. 19): The month of November begins in a New Moon Cycle and change is on the horizon. The transits are so influential that things may never be the same again! After Mars leaves Scorpio on November 16th we will feel different and be different! By the end of November 2008 all the outer planets will be direct, ushering in a quickening of the pace and hope about a recovery on all levels could be in the air. Pluto will leave the sign of Sagittarius for good, (well for a good long while), and the United States could have its 1st black president. With the election out of the way, the world can focus on the rebuilding and healing of the economic markets and mother earth.
Neptune the planet of illusions, ruler of the sign of Pisces and the 12th house goes direct. Our Illusions, delusions, complexes, evasive behavior, and not facing reality about ourselves and others surfaces now. Neptune takes us through this journey, if you are willing to go, where things are as we would like to imagine them to be, not how they are. Not everyone takes the same journey with Neptune, but, none the less, we witness it in others and in some strange way have to experience it anyways! As Neptune goes direct we see more clearly through the web of illusion. How did we not see that! How many times have you lost something only to find it in a right there where you already looked? It's not that what you were looking for moved, it's that you just didn't see it. With Neptune retrograde it's harder to see things that are right there in front of us. Even if we do see we may just lack the confidence to take action. Neptune also rules self sacrifice and self less service, and even that can go terribly wrong. If you give too much or give to the wrong people you end up being and feeling used. Very few of us are at the level of Mother Theresa and are able to live truly saintly and selfless lives! The planets now demand accountability and reality! How will you handle Neptune going direct? Will you suddenly wake up from a dream state, or become incredibly inspired to do some great creative works? In your solar 1st house of self assertion, health and independence, you could have mixed feelings about the current set of circumstances in your life. While you know things are changing you may not be ready to completely to b totally independent. This could confuse others, for as much as you want to leave a situation you don't. Your eyes could be opened up to how you give others mixed messages and what others think about you behavior. Be careful with your health.
The Saturn-Uranus opposition the 1st occurs on November 4th the day of the presidential elections. What does that mean for you personally though? The opposition is an aspect where the two sides have no common meeting ground. You'll here astrologers say it's the young (Uranus) against the old (Saturn) the new rebellion against the establishment, or new ideas conflicting with the established way of doing things. The last Saturn-Uranus oppositions were about 44 years ago, when the aspect was a little different then with Saturn in starry eyed Pisces and Uranus in down to earth Virgo. The generation that was young and created the rebellion in the 60's is now the older generation, the establishment. How far have we come, what have we become? Saturn is now in down to Earth Virgo and Uranus is in starry eyed Pisces, and demanding that the promises of the 60's, be kept. Demanding too, in an immediate way that the idealism, the spirituality and the movement of the 60's be reconciled.
Nov. 4 is the presidential Election Day for the United States, and the universe is abuzz, with the Moon in Capricorn, the sign of its detriment and we are all business, tense and very serious. The Moon enters Aquarius at about 7:01 Pm edt. Signifying major changes across the board! The Saturn-Uranus opposition occurs in your solar In your solar 2nd and 8th houses. Since these are fixed houses you could be trying to hang on to an old way of thinking about finances. Arguments are easily started under this aspect , as you are less likely not to speak up.No doubt it's a day to remember! Mercury sextiles Pluto, people will think it's their civic duty to vote and will be out in record numbers. Mars squares Neptune, suggests people could question the fairness of the election, and that some amount of fraud could be attempted. Saturn opposes Uranus indicating the established power will be overturned, and Mercury enters Scorpio, transformation, change and regenerative healing with a watchful eye! Mercury in Scorpio assures us the votes will be counted correctly!
Venus the planet of love enters Capricorn the Moon's detriment in your solar Venus in Capricorn will instill the desire to reconnect with the past or being out the desire for status and security. A past love, a more secure stable love or even an older love seems more likely under this Venus transit. Nov.13 the Full Moon in Taurus at 21*, in your solar 4th house of emotions, self sufficiency, home and family, it's going to be difficult for you to control impulses and emotions.
Mars the planet of action enters another fire sign, Sagittarius your solar 11th house of friends, ex lovers, hopes and fears. This is good news regarding friendships, ex lovers and getting influential people to help you further your goals. As the Sun enters fun loving and philosophical Sagittarius, your solar 11th house, socializing with friends couldn't be easier. Invitations and chats with friends fill your days. Mercury the planet of communications enters Sagittarius the sign of its detriment. Mercury is not supposed to be very strong here at all, or it could just indicate a need for more concentration and more deliberate action. This is going to be a great time to get attention from others. People in positions to help you further your ambitions are ready to acknowledge you.
Pluto re-enters Capricorn November 26th 2008 and were back to January 26, 2008 when Pluto first entered Capricorn, and we know what to expect! The 1st degrees of any Sun Signs, rising signs, or personal planets will feel the effects of the transforming planet Pluto first. Remember in the universe Pluto reminds us that we are mere mortals and there is something bigger and tougher than us out there. Pluto can represent all the psychic garbage from prior lifetimes that need to be gotten rid of. Pluto says this isn't going to wait for another life time, the time is now! Pluto can instill in us a strong urge for fighting for causes, defending those less fortunate, rallying against social injustices, and getting involved in worthwhile causes is what Pluto instills in us. Being socially responsible is what Pluto in Capricorn is all about. In your solar 12th house of secret fears, self undoing and finding your peace of mind. Relaxing and centering yourself will be important now especially as your life gets more hectic.
Uranus the planet of upheaval goes direct in Pisces your solar Uranus is an air sign in the watery sign of Pisces and the thought of balmy beaches comes to mind when all is well. Uranus also rules electricity, lightening and very stormy weather so it's possible to see more unusual weather patterns wreaking havoc through February 2009. In your solar 2nd house of money and personal assets, you are going to have to budget your finances to meet your financial obligations.
October 2008
Aquarius: (Jan 21-Feb. 19): Are you ready for the Next Social Revolution? It's time once more for all of us to switch gears, change occupations and find yet another reason to exist. As Saturn in Virgo begins to oppose Uranus in Pisces, what was "hot" is not anymore. Uranus wants to shock and overturn anyone and anything it considers to be "old" and the establishment". What will the next new "hot commodity" or "idea" be? This astrological cycle deals with change and it is immediate and quick. This cycle suggests a decline in the materialistic and an upswing in the spiritual. Just because things are not good on Wall Street, that doesn't' mean that it's bad cycle for everything and everyone. The protective trine between Jupiter and Saturn through November, will buffer an all out collapse of the markets and banking institutions. The collective fears still need to be controlled and the sooner we can bring ourselves collectively into a more positive frame of mind, the sooner things will improve.
The result of such declines will bring us all closer together as being human becomes more important to us. Being "green" and each of us doing our part for the environment will grow into a large cult movement. We will want to congregate, rally, protest and go to large outdoor events. Importance will be given to basic values and feelings. Now does this mean that we will face a sad event together, like the death of an important and beloved person, or will we desire to have experiences that make us feel more deeply and touch our souls? The biggest change of all though as we move towards the up coming planetary alignments will be about love, being in love, loving ourselves and loving unconditionally.
Mercury rules thinking, communications, siblings, comings and goings. In the sign of Libra, Mercury retrograde influences, negotiations, agreements, timing and fairness. Retrograde planets emit different light than when they are direct. This phenomenon is called "red shift". How we as human react to different light energy emitted by a planet influences what effect it will have on our lives. You are a part of this universe. You interact with the Planets and stars, and lights. Mercury is called the messenger of the Gods. The word messenger is another word for "angel". Since Mercury rules our thoughts, words, and deeds, if your thoughts, words, deeds are good, then a good angel is produced and good things will follow. If your thoughts, words and deeds are bad, than a bad angel is a produced and a bad thing can follow. "As one thinks so he becomes, as you reflect so you grow"
As we begin the month of October a bit of tense confusion could enter our lives, a sort of now you see it, now you don't' as Mercury Rx quincunx Uranus Rx in you solar 9th house of legalities and 2nd house of money. You could be on pins and needles as you wait for decisions that affect finances. You may feel that time is running our, but it isn't. Then in a victorious moment Mars sextiles Pluto and this dynamic aspect could bring the possibly of agreements and reconciliations ever nearer. This is a power energizing aspect that awakens, and makes that which we couldn't or wouldn't understand, convincingly clear. You can make a convincing argument and have extra ordinary powers of persuasions. Rely on close friends or yourself to fight for your cause.
The planet of action Mars enters Scorpio, your solar 10th house of power, recognition and respect. It's imperative that you don't lord it over those beneath you and that you don't take too much offense at others' response to you. Like kids, people will tend to blow you off, ignore you and pretend you are not there if you disagree with them. Which is fine for a while; when you can't take it anymore you will blow up like Mt Vesuvius!
The planet of love and, ruler of your 9th house of trips, and new experiences Venus, sextiles Saturn the planet of karma. At first could bring a disappointment, dissatisfaction and heartache followed by a breakthrough for some to reconcile with a past love. Jealousy could cause you to come down too hard on those around you and equally jealousy could point you straight back to your ex lover. The planet of lessons Saturn parallels the South Node in Leo, in a strong karmic alignment that makes it hard to focus. You could get lost or turned around and heading in the wrong direction today. Money seems to be at the root of your troubles this month as well as selfishness, your or another's.
The Full Moon in Aries in your solar 3rd house of communications and short trips suggest you don't get behind the wheel of a car if you are angry. Since you are ruled by Uranus, you could be calm one mind and a tyrant the next. This could catch others off guard. The planet of communications Mercury goes Direct n Libra at 7* where it transited September 3rd. In your solar 9th house of rules and regulations, being too strict about out dated or unfair rules and laws could have caused many problems. Especially, if you can validate the rules or laws you want everyone to adhere to and, why you follow them.
Venus, the planet that rules both love and finances enters Sagittarius your solar 11th house of friends, helpful people, community and VIPs. Look to expand your social life and network with people who are visionaries and can see a light at the end of the tunnel. Single Sagittarius can reconcile lost friendships and make ex lovers into friends. The Sun sextiles Pluto in you solar 9th and 11th house and proves that you can influence and sway the public. Yu have a forceful approach and your inflexibility lets everyone know, things are going to happen the way you want. A trip or new experience could be on the horizon.
As the Sun enters Scorpio your solar 10th house of business and career, you could be at odds with someone as to how funds will be split. Power struggles and control issues have you both stuck in a war. You are not going anywhere and neither is he or she. This can also spill over into your personal relationships. Remember you can't fight 2 wars, ones enough. Chiron the wounded healer goes Direct. The interesting point about Chiron is that Chiron orbits between Saturn and Uranus, The two planets threatening to cause major upheaval. In your first house of appearances you have issues with independence and self assertion, and possibly weakening health.The New Moon in determined Scorpio 5*your solar 10th house of career, ambitions and fortune suggest that you will be in step with others to make goals and achieve your objectives at work, in your career or with the general public.
September 2008
Aquarius: (Jan 21-Feb. 19): The Outlook: Many intense aspects come into play as the month of September begins. The Sun in Virgo very close to the planet Saturn and of course trining Jupiter, the North and South Nodes are at 18* Aquarius and Leo, the line up of the personal planets, Mercury, Venus and Mars in Libra suggest a cycle of beginnings for those with planets at 13* that lasts through November when Saturn is at 18*, where the Nodes currently are. Jupiter trines Saturn and this continues throughout the last quarter of the year. This is a protective aspect and most likely very well needed. Since the sign of Virgo is the 12th house of the sign of Libra this can portend to crisis events, perhaps more storm activity in the Caribbean, east coast of the United States and the Gulf of Mexico. The planets also converge North of Moscow Russia and on the West Coast of the United States, Washington State and Vancouver, BC, making these areas very likely to feel the brunt of some of these aspects, and subject to weather disturbances natural events like volcanic eruption, and earthquakes. In the case of Moscow, another volatile and deadly over reaction to their neighbors is likely.
Normally people would say that the planets transiting the sign of Libra would bring love, marriage, lovers and relationship activity. Diplomacy, agreements and balance to world events. What if though, Libra had a darker side? With Saturn and the Sun (light), in the 12th house of Libra, the scales are unbalanced, and exposed by the Sun's light. This could bring to light unsavory love affairs, disappointment, sadness, and sorrow in relationships. It could bring loss of relationships, because of fear, inability to commit, and even deception. Sometimes it's a good thing to have your suffering, fears, charitable works exposed. People can then help you and offer compassion and help. There are other times when you don't want your 12th house secrets, behind the scenes activities, fears and debts exposed. The 12th house represents, karma, karmic debt, debt, sacrifice, self undoing and finishing karmic cycles. Saturn here can bring a lot of resentment and feeling used and being used. The sign of Virgo when not manifesting its energy properly, can lead to illness, being without work, being a ward of the state, helplessness, and mental problems. With the Sun here along with Saturn and Jupiter's protecting rays perhaps we will find that some people have been suffering terribly in silence, and need our help. Still the 12th house has yet another attribute and that is, divine retribution. Events and circumstances that just turn inexplicably in your favor. Perhaps well see some of that too!As your horoscope month begins august will be a very pivotal month fr you and as it usually does usher n significant changes. The New Moon Eclipse or Solar Eclipse occurs at 9.32* Leo, August 1st in your solar 7th house of partners, significant others, business, and competitors. You could be at a loss, damned if you do and damned if you don't. Your relationships are at issues and just like you don't know what others are thinking they don't know what you are thinking. Interesting that The Lunar South Node in Leo will be at 9.32* January 4th 2009, heralding in another solar eclipse in Aquarius of January 26, 2009 and Lunar eclipse February 9th at 20* Leo. This suggests long term effects to situations and new experiences that are not solved easily. This period also falls during the inauguration of our next president which is sure to be a competitive one. Saturn moves out of its shadow August 8, 2008 near the presidential primaries and then we have another set of eclipses surrounding the inauguration. This can bring in a new dynamic cycle of events into all of our lives, about what though? In your solar 7th house of competitors and open enemies the competition can be felt. Sometimes even in committed relationships and marriages we can feel the competition. Your personal relationships and businesses have probably come to a critical point where even you couldn't predict what's about to happen!
As September begins the Sun conjoins Saturn, and you may realize that life is short and you are getting older. It's time to take things more seriously. The Sun and Saturn are transiting you solar 8th house of power struggles, rejection and blowing others off. It could be a big thing or it could be a little thing that triggers a full blown over reaction in you that includes accusations and tricky manipulation. The 8th house is where we change and change for good! It's also the house of death and re birth. One thing is for sure your attention is drawn to something or someone that's got to go. Jupiter the planet of luck and benevolence goes direct in your solar 12th house of endings and finishing old projects and business, you just might be ok with all the changes happening around you. It's time for change you might tell yourself, and you expect that it will hurt a little. It's as if you see someone you love suffering and you just know that you have to let him or her go. Saturn in your 8th house and Jupiter in your 12th; these are both intensely karmic houses but, yet the trine is telling you "don't worry, it's going to be all right."
Pluto the ruler of the 8th house, and planet of deep personal transformation and change goes direct very near to our center of the universe, the galactic center. Check your free Natal Birth Chart for the degrees 28* and 29*. I know that some of you will feel attacked, threatened, and intimidated by other people who cannot assimilate the energy of the transits properly. The transits of the mutable signs can bring a lot of craziness. They simply don't know why they feel so angry. In your solar 11th house of hopes and fears, there's a great deal of anxiety, and wondering about what lies ahead of you. Pluto purges just like the 8th house urges, and in the 11th house friendships, could be plagued with betrayals. Friends and people, circumstances and events have run their course. Don't blame others if things have gone array. The personal planets Mercury, Venus and Mars line up in Libra, bear in mind that the Sun and Saturn, are in the 12th house to this lineup, in your solar, 9th house of travel, foreign business or partnerships, legalities and the law could be problematic right now. Be careful with whom you get involved with you may not have all the information you need to make a qualified decision.
The Full Moon in Pisces 22*, conjoins you ruling planet Uranus, in your solar 2nd house of money and personal assets. Do everything you can to protect your valuables and make sure that you don't misplace or lose something that costs a lot or even cash. The Fall Equinox marks the beginning of autumn, when both day and night are of equal length. As Venus the planet of love, enters Scorpio your solar 10th house of career, business, prestige and status, you could sell a business or some thing of value. You'll pat yourself on the back, for the timing of such a coup!Mercury goes Retrograde for a short period of time from September 24-October 15th depending on your time zone. In your solar 9th house of legalities, be sure that you don't let someone else take the blame entirely for what is both your faults. You could find yourself dealing with a mate or partner who is travelling out of town o out of the country. Traditional laws and educational systems could be stifling right now. It's as it you may have to follow an out dated rule or law that makes no sense. The Sun enters Libra your solar 9th house of travel; it's possible that you are looking forward to a trip to a foreign country with your significant other. Some of you could find yourselves in positions of leadership and in positions of judgment. If so, do what you can to change rules, boundaries, education and laws. The New Moon in Libra 6* in your solar 9th house of new experiences suggest you are ready for new people, and events and it's like a dream come true.

You could be at a loss, damned if you do and damned if you don't. Your relationships are at issues and just like you don't know what others are thinking they don't know what you are thinking. Interesting that The Lunar South Node in Leo will be at 9.32* January 4th 2009, heralding in another solar eclipse in Aquarius of January 26, 2009 and Lunar eclipse February 9th at 20* Leo. This suggests long term effects to situations and new experiences that are not solved easily. This period also falls during the inauguration of our next president which is sure to be a competitive one. Saturn moves out of its shadow August 8, 2008 near the presidential primaries and then we have another set of eclipses surrounding the inauguration.

Your personal relationships and businesses have probably come to a critical point where even you couldn't predict what's about to happen!
The Lunar eclipse at 24* Aquarius, on August 16th occurs in your solar 1st house of self assertion, aggression, physical health and appearance. With the planet Neptune here along with the Full Moon eclipse you may not realize how you are coming across to others or you my not care which is shortsighted. It is very likely that your emotional reactions will be completely out of touch with reality and that you will be prone to taking matters to extremes. Your independent streak, detached and rebellious attitude could alienate others once and for all. Perhaps you have been shouldering someone else's burdens and it is time to shake yourself free.
A midpoint between the two eclipses (a midpoint is when we add the two up two degrees of two planets or luminaries and divide by 2) is at 16.50*. The nodes by the way will be at 16.50 along with Saturn in Virgo October 14th, never a favorable time! So we can see that this eclipse reaches out about 3 months into the future. We cannot look at the Moon and her eclipses without looking at the Lunar Nodes which are also in Leo and Aquarius, indicating the karmic nature of the forth coming events.
Saturn moves out of its shadow at 8* bringing in new Saturnian lessons in your solar 8th house of partnerships assets and ownership, questions about how to divide things up are sure to arise. Issues regarding jealousy, privacy and suspiciousness take on new life as you feel threatened! Single Aquarius might surprise everyone with a steamy, over powering love affair! You want to break free and nothing is going to stop you anymore! Mars in Virgo a mutable earth sign will opposes Uranus retrograde in Pisces a mutable water sign. In your solar 8th house of jealousy and ownership, and your solar 2nd house of money and assets, someone wants and demands something from you, and a standoff over money and assets begins! With the opposition aspect we have two opposing energies that cannot relate to one another. However, in the New Moon Eclipse cycle it takes on a whole different meaning...change! New beginnings are underway for all to experience. Slamming the door on the past or some unworkable aspect of our lives and walking away can only be for good right now. In your solar
Along with the lunar eclipse in Aquarius which occurs very close to dubious and dreamy Neptune, Mars in Virgo will square Pluto retrograde in Sagittarius. Secrets revealed? Scandals? In your solar 8th house of jealousy, death and rebirth and your solar 11th house of sudden and unexpected events anything goes. Both the 8th house and the 11th house are fixed houses making the square more dangerous and unexpected. Accidents, deaths and near misses are all possible. Are these really aggressive aspects or reactionary aspects? Or Fed up aspects! Or more like what is seen in bad storms and weather, hurricanes, earthquakes and Volcanoes. We can't stop them from happening and we have to just clean up afterwards. Still Virgo is the 8th house for Aquarius...Death, here one day gone the next. August is full of dynamic drastic changes that affect us both personally and individually and then we are left to clean up.
Mars in Virgo, Saturn in Virgo, Uranus in Pisces and Sagittarius in Pluto; these are all mutable signs, meaning changeable and flexible signs, as well as easily adaptable to changing circumstances. Things can get mixed up and crazy when the mutable signs start aspecting each other and things can begin to move very fast. Opportunities can spring up quite quickly and decision need to be made fast, on the spur of the moment. Venus the planet of love and ruler of your 9th house of travel enters Virgo. You could have a strong desire for new experiences, travel and to really become an expert at something that you love to do. You may long for more religious or spiritual meaning and inspiration in your life. Something you read could inspire you to change your life. The messenger of the gods, Mercury enters Virgo your solar 8th house of what you share with others and inspired by a new hope or dream you could negotiate yourself out of your situation and lay the plans by which you will be free once more. Venus conjoins Saturn in your solar 8th house of rebirth, inheritances and joint assets, and splitting things up amicably, still with a shrewd eye on getting your fair share could be in the stars. Mars ruler of Aries your solar 3rd house of communications and thinking enters Libra, your solar 9th house and you are ready to travel and love life again. You are hearing the drum beat of a different drummer and you are being drawn to other people and events. Venus enters Libra, and free love and utopia, the hippies dreams is once again the Aquarian dream!
July 2008
Aquarius: (Jan 21-Feb. 19): Aquarius as your monthly horoscope begins The Sun is transiting Cancer your solar 6th house fo work, loyalty, employees and employers, the office or place you work, health, diet and crisis to crisis venting. This is going to be a very important month becuae both Mars and Saturn are trasniting your solar 8th house of death and rebirth, joint finances and that house is Virgo, the natural 6th house where the Sun is now transiting in your solar chart. This can initially make for some very pressured moments when you have little of few choices. Timing will be important , being focused and giving situations your all will be neccessary. There are no excuses for you this month and this could be your make or break month! The New Moon in Cancer your solar 6th house of health and diet suggests it's time to take better care of yourself and keep the home and work place hygenic. If you are looking for a new job it's time to get it.
As the month of July begins Mars enters the Sign of Virgo. The sign of Virgo is ruled by Mercury, and represents the 6th house. The 6th house represents service to other people. Service to others can be for a benefit, like a paycheck, prestige or special treatment, and sometimes just out of a sense of loyalty. The sign of Virgo represents allegiance and misplaced loyalties, which can cause psychological and physical stress. Giving too much and then not knowing how to say "no", or knowing that if you refuse there will be consequences to pay. The sign of Virgo and the 6th house can bring these kin of dilemmas to he surface.
The last time both Mars and Saturn were in Virgo was May and June 1980...Events that have taken place when Mars and Saturn were in Virgo: 1980 Mount St Helen's erupted. Could another Volcano be ready to explode?
We can expect some turbulent weather and natural events. When we map the conjunction of Mars and Saturn it falls through the coast of Brazil through Rio De Janerio, the Caribbean, and Alaska, making these areas vulnerable. We know there are Fault lines that have caused tremendous earth quakes in Port Royale, Jamaica and Cap Haitien, Haiti in the past. When we map the conjunction of Mars and Saturn it falls through the coast of Alaska, Brazil and through the Caribbean. We know there are Fault lines that have caused tremendous earthquakes in Port Royale, Jamaica and Cap Haitian, Haiti. The Mars and Saturn conjunction occurs in your solar 8th house of joint assets, sex, secrets and break throughs. It's best to be careful in al of these thingssince the 8th house ruled by Pluto can bring scandals. Things will come to a head and you will be at a crossroads.
The combination of Saturn and Mars will bring circumstances in our life's that have to change to a head. It's interesting that Mars will be entering Virgo just as Saturn will be leaving its shadow degrees. Saturn retrograded at 8.34* Virgo, when it passes 8.34* Virgo it will be in new territory and bring new experience with it. So it's shake up time! Things have to reach a climatic point, we have to face a crisis, things have to explode and then settle down in order for us to move on. Since the sign of Virgo also rules health, some could have health issues that bring everyone together. Saturn rules fender benders and you would be wise to be careful driving. Virgo rules those psychological motivations that create drama and crisis in our lives to draw attention to our suffering. Virgo rules intimidation and it could be that many of you are being intimidated and bullied, this could be the transit or the month it stops, but not without a bang! Don't push others the limit, be patient and don't over react to stressful situations.
The Sun in Cancer and Mars in Virgo talks about the simple life. Getting back to basics and doing things the old fashioned way. It's grass roots and this could be the month that changes everyone and gets everyone on board to take better care of the planet. This is not an ostentatious month, nor will waste and the grand life be popular. This will be a natural, simple month. Since the outer planets Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto are all retrograde and their influence the antithesis of what it is when it's direct, the most potent planetary influences will be the lunation's, Mars, Saturn the Nodes, and the personal planets. Making this month a day to day, moment to moment, simplified.
Don't let the Virgo energy distract you with worrying about what might happen, keep focused and determined. Typically what you fear the most never, ever happens at all. The Full Moon Capricorn your solar 12th house of self undoing suggests you not let emotions get out of control, or you could do or say something you later regret!
As the Sun enters Leo your solar 7th house of partenrships it could be time to renegotiate things with a partner, or significant other.
May 2008
Aquarius: (Jan 21-Feb. 19): Aquarius as your monthly horoscope begins in May things finally begin to move forward in some ways, backwards in other ways! Mercury enters Gemini just as Saturn goes direct in Virgo. Both signs rule communications! How many of you have someone in your life that you are not speaking to, haven't communicated with and need to speak too, long to talk too and need to reach out to? Mercury rules both your solar 5th house of love, romance and children and your solar 8th house of joint assets and lovers. The 8th house of an all or nothing house, a house where might makes right, cruelty reins supreme and we tell ourselves to completely shut someone out and pretend they no longer exist. We end up suffering for this kind of behavior in the long run. It's time to bury the hatchet and stop interfering in other peoples lives. As Saturn goes direct at 11:07 pm edt in your solar 8th house of suffering and intimacy you could be on the verge of losing everything. It's a downright hard transit when Saturn or Pluto is here in the 8th. Jupiter goes retrograde in Capricorn your solar 12th house of karma, karmic debts and like the 4th,and 8th houses has rulership over karma. This is trouble we cannot escape and have to face. The kind of events that change you for the better. Dress rehearsal's over! This is real life stuff. Finally, Mars enters Leo another fire sign and our ability to go out and get what we want returns. In your solar 7th house of marriage, business, and partnerships new business can come through. Although you may be paying off the debts of an old business or relationships a new source of business revenue or even significant other can appear.
Many people are afraid of numbers let’s face it. However to be a good astrologer you have to read the numbers and have your brained tuned into recognizing patterns and angles, even the imaginary ones. With that in mind there is a configuration in the planets with the Lunar Nodes, Saturn, Neptune and Jupiter and Uranus. This suggest the Pluto revolution is underway because many people are in situations that are confining and they are already looking for ways out without making anyone mad or alienating anyone or drawing attention to themselves. It’s like being held captive and being nice to your captors while you are devising a plan of escape plan. It’s not going to work to be nice to the captors though. They don’t have your future on their minds. With Saturn, the Lunar Nodes are his agents. They are not bringing change yet. They are helping Saturn keep the status quo and to keep you right where you are. Saturn also has the help of Pluto. That makes you nervous, and fearful about change. So where do you turn? Jupiter sextile Uranus suggests opportunities are abundant right now for change. It’s outside help. Look around for the new people, new situations, spiritual liberation, and excitement. I guess what it’s suggesting to me is that some situations, your current situation have gone as far as they’re going to go. Seek out new friends, new acquaintances generate excitement in your life to create new energy and life. Until you have completely replaced the old ones. Still many of you will wait until the universe pushes you from the comfort of your current situations, if comfort is even the right word. It’s time for change; don’t wait until August when you have to be thrown out of a bad situation. Take a chance, grab an opportunity as it comes along right no, it’s time. So look around there are opportunities around you that are calling to you, take them. This can also indicates stalemates where ego and pride are getting in the way. the solution to stalemates also lies in the sextile between the higher energies of Jupiter and Uranus. Get out of thar fixed stubborn state that satisfies your ego and into the higher elevation of Jupiter and Uranus. Follow your dreams, or your intuition, listen to your heart not your head. This New Moon in Taurus is called a "Super Moon" a phrase coined by the astrologer Richard Nolle. This New Moon is called in Perigee because it's going to be closest to the Earth and therefore it's ability to influence the Earth, tides and it' s inhabitants is at it's greatest. Not only is it at it's closest proximity to Earth but it's moving very quickly. When any planet moves quickly it's influence over us is greatest! There are two fixed stars that could have an influence over this New Moon and though they are far apart they still need to be considered. Alamak and Menkar. Alamak brings favor and, Menkar brings tests of endurance. in your solar 4th house of self sufficiency and your ability to sustain yourself, pay your rent and feed yourself, you'll see your survival instincts kick in. Like all fixed signs when the going get toughs you get going. This month could bring necessary disturbances, moves and family troubles. It will only be for the good though. The Full Moon in Scorpio, in fact, the 2nd Full Moon in Scorpio, your solar 10th house of reckless ambitions and reputation you'll be very touchy about the respect your get or don't get! You won't tolerate anything less than 100% from others and you will get rid of any dead weight in your life this month. As the Sun enters Gemini, your solar 5th house of happiness you'll be happy that things are lighter, and thankful for the month's events. Mercury goes retrograde in your solar 5th house of love and romance. gemini always indicates two. two children, two lovers two hobbies etc. Expect as communications have opened up this month that you will have to explain yourself several times over.
