Nothing turns out right so long as there is no harmony between body, mind and soul.-Mahatma Ganhi

January 2009
Gemini: (May 21-Jun. 22): 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 it's 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 4th house of emotions, feelings, you've had to learn to cope in spite of feeling sad or down. You've also learned the heard and difficult lesson of getting criticized over things that you feel emotional about, so what do you do, you keep your feelings to yourself. This transit can bring about conflicts between home life and your career and business one it seems always has to take a back seat to the other.
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 1st house of self assertion enters Aquarius your solar 9th house of legalities, education, learning, teaching, religion and spirituality. You could feel compelled to express your opinion and speak out instead of keeping quiet. Venus the planet of love ruler of your 5th house of love and luck enters Pisces your solar 10th house of fame and fortune, bringing some extraordinary lucky breaks to your career, ambitions and status.
Jupiter the planet of luck and expansion enters the unique and exciting sign of Aquarius your solar 9th house of travel, legalities and new experiences could make this a whirl wind year for you. It's a time to decide your future course and achieve something great!
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 2nd house of money and valuables; here Cancer represents the home or property. On a subtle level it's those treasured things that just mean the most to you. Bear in mind the Full Moon brings a temporary disappointment.
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 8th and 9th houses suggesting money issues and working out agreements with others. However, take your time don't rush!
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 9th house of learning and new experiences. Bring some much needed excitement into your life!
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 9th house and suggests a good year when things typically go your way as long as you keep optimistic and continue to get excited about leaning and trying new experiences.
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 8th house of joint finances, assets, struggling love affairs and ridding yourself of problems. Take care of things that would come back and haunt you. During Mercury retrograde it's important to take your time and realize that you don't have to succumb to pressure, you have time.
As the month ends Mercury goes direct in Capricorn.
December 2008
Gemini: (May 21-Jun. 22): 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. In your solar 8th house of significant others, there's a sense that you have to be in control of how others interact with you and not let them cross your boundaries.
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. Your ruling planet Mercury enters Capricorn in your solar 8th house of regeneration, rejuvanation many of your could expereince rebirths and take 20 years frim your appearance. people could remark how your you look. You may have some unusual ability that become very in demand. The Full Moon at 21* Gemini, occurs in your solar 1st house of personality and you are on your own. You don't want anyone's help and truly you may not know who you can trust! Remember people have a tendency to be more emotional during the Full Moon, so be careful who you push a side. You could need that person later on.
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 8th house of joint finances, intimacy and ridding yourself of all that isn't necessary in your life You can truly feel what it's like to be strong and get your way just from sheer will power. Those who confront you now have a big surprise. The planet of action Mars enters Capricorn your solar 8th house of intimacy, jealousy and regeneration, Mars is the ruler of your 11th house of friends and ex lovers. Since these are fixed houses you are going to be less flexible than normal. You want your way and you won't care who you hurt to get what you want, sort of! This aspect can definitely lead to some spicy nights as longs as you are single!
The New Moon at 6* Capricorn, occurs in your solar 8th house of inheritances, other people's money and your mate or partner's resources, joining forces doesn't seem like such a bad idea now does it. Money could come through, legacies, insurance, or your partner, and it could be substantial. The planet 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 4th house of new beginning and endings, security emotional and financial is necessary as you move into the future.

November 2008
Gemini: (May 21-Jun. 22): 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. 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 9th house of inspiration, teaching, learning, dreams and expanding you talents, you could find yourself inspired and believing in life once again. On the other hand the 9th house the house of legalities and thinking that you are above the rules, regulations or even if you don't know the rules and regulations of where you live and travel to you could be in for quite a shock. Your blissful outlook or Pollyanna way of getting by could run into a road block of sorts. Pay attention to the rules of the road, the laws of where you live and visit as ignorance will not be accepted. Your eyes could be opened up to the truth and you could just have a certain intuition about deception and lies. Some of you may even find out that someone you like or love has been lying to you. Personal partnerships could benefit as you see that the grass really wasn't greener on the other side. A long talk is necessary to clear the air in marriages and partnerships alike.
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. In your solar 4th and 10th houses this tremendous energy affects home life, security, career and aspirations. Don't be afraid of taking on that big project, nothing great is achieved by doing nothing. Sure it will be hard but, it won't be a waste of time. This is the time to begin new career directions, when the energy is so bold.
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!
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. In your solar your 8th house of joint finances, sex, intimacy, and the power of destruction and rebirth, the emphasis this month is on relationships, and significant others. You could go through extremes. From thinking a relationship or marriage is over and then it surprises you and is renewed again. This will be a month of extremes. Yet you can develop a deep respect and connection with the object of your desires. Love can be passionate and healing.
Nov.13 the Full Moon in Taurus at 21*, in your solar 12th house of secrets, sorrows, fears and finishing's. Keep your cool about finances and don't let irrational fears get the best of you. Mars the planet of action enters another fire sign, Sagittarius your solar 7th house of partnerships, marriage and conflicts. Be careful not to make mountains out of molehills or create conflicts where there are none. The Sun enters fun loving and philosophical Sagittarius and brightens your outlook about relationship and marriage, Passions can be aroused and love could be in the stars for you. You could be more focused on your lovers need rather your own. 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. You're popularity could soar in most cases and bring you lots of attention. Just make sure you don't gossip too much or make additional enemies. There could be trouble coming when you find out someone is gossiping about 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 8th house of joint resources, joint finances, your partner's financial situation, banking and high finance you could enter into partnership that includes big business and lots of money!
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 10th house of career and business, no doubt things have changed for you and your ambitious pursuits. Accept and embrace the changes. Yes, there will be challenges, but there will be great successes too. Work hard through the challenges in order to come out on top!

Gemini: (May 21-Jun. 22): 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. Energy follows thought.
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 5th house of love and romance and your solar 10th house of career. A creative project that you hold dear and that could send your career into the stratospheres, hits a speed bump. Slow down don't get discouraged. These days a bit of bad news or disappointing news is balanced with good news! Your love life too, seems gloomy and that is subject to the same influences so hold on.
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. Your 5th and 7th houses receive the rays of this powerful sextile. The prospect for a creative project gets the go ahead and opens the way to negotiating a contract, of course after Mercury goes direct! The same rays of light give you hope for your love and relationships.
As Mars the planet of action enters Scorpio, your solar 6th house of work, responsibilities you are ready for a big project and to take on a new job. In this economy I am encouraging everyone to sort out work at home, commissioned based work to supplement their full time jobs and careers. Venus the planet of love and finances, sextiles Saturn, the karma master of the zodiac, and just when you thought you were over him or her, they resurface. Memories are triggered and could make you feel apprehensive and left with more questions than answers. Keep your coop and squelch your fears. A past disappointment, dissatisfaction and heartache could turn around now! Expect a breakthrough in relationships and for some to reconcile with a past love.
The planet Saturn will parallel 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. Saturn transited Leo for about 2 years before entering Virgo. Lasting relationships were hard to attain, as self willed, ego centric behavior won over lasting love connections. Were you right, or wrong? Was the other person right or wrong? There is no right or wrong so regrets and blame have no place here. You can escape the person, but there's no escaping the memories. Perhaps it's time to talk about it.The Full Moon in Aries in your solar 11th house of surprises and unexpected events, puts you out of control and a bit intimidated by others, at work, in the neighborhood or someone from your past. Their criticism could be unwarranted.
Finally your ruling planet Mercury goes Direct n Libra at 7* where it transited September 3rd. In your solar 5th house of love, romance, risk taking and impulsive actions, you have learned to control yourself and perhaps take more time. The 5th house while it rules love can't bring love to you if you are only for yourself.
The planet of love Venus enters Sagittarius your solar 7th house of marriage and relationships and perhaps love does spring eternal and once again you are ready to fall in love and risk it all! It's still a past love that holds your heart, so be sure you've gotten over that person before trying someone new.
The Sun sextiles Pluto in you solar 5th house and you can expect something to happen, a stroke of good fortune, for your business and popularity and you can expect to break through relationship stalemates. As the Sun enters Scorpio your solar 6th house a deep sense of obligation and loyalty arises with in you. Don't take things too seriously, and don't question others loyalty to you as your measurement of loyalty is too high for others. 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. You have much to share with others as your journey has been a long one!
The New Moon in determined Scorpio 5*your solar 6th house of work, health and diet could have you compulsively at the gym getting into shape, for all the attention that is about to be showered on you!
September 2008
Gemini: (May 21-Jun. 22): 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 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, your personal responsibilities, becoming more emotionally resilient and self-sufficient are what you should be focusing on. You home, your family and your immediate responsibilities should take precedence over anyone else and anything else in your life. Survival is what it's about!
Jupiter the planet of luck and benevolence goes direct in your solar 8th house of joint financial matters, banking, credit, intimacy, selfishness and cruelty. Man don't realize that mean spiritedness can result when planets transit the 8th house. Sometimes while w like Jupiter to bestow good fortune and wealth, which it does, it's dark side is over the top and too much to handle. Keep your self in check, especially with Pluto hanging around in your solar 7th house of significant others. Controlling the energy , not letting the negative qualities of power, manipulation, intimidation, and cruelty, appear, will allow for the more favorable qualities of intimacy, money, generosity, and wealthy to come through, and manifest. Therein lies the magic!
Pluto the 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 7th house of competitors, business, enemies, significant others and marriage partners, it's hard to know sometimes who is friend and who is foe. One thing is for certain, you are getting a lot of attention and how to handle that attention should be a concern of yours. Yu just can't be as open and perhaps as accessible as you used to be. You may have lots to figure out with you significant other.
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, 5th house of love and romance, you'd love to open up and trust again, but, that's difficult. A love interest may want to rekindle a relationship with you, and think he/she can waltz right in and everything is the same, truth be told nothing is the same. Everyone has to prove himself or herself to you, to your satisfaction.
The Full Moon in Pisces 22* conjoin the volatile planet Uranus in your solar 10th house of power, respect, status and prestige. There re always going to be people who don't know you and treat you like they treat everyone else, don't let it get to you. You culd be very hypersensitive and feel insulted very easily.
The Fall Equinox marks the beginning of autumn, when both day and night are of equal length. Venus enters Scorpio your solar, 6th house of work, and health, it may be time to talk on a major renovation project, clean out closets and your office. It will be easier to stick to and keep a diet and work out regime.
Mercury your ruler goes Retrograde for a short period of time from September 24-October 15th depending on your time zone. In your solar 5th house of love and romance, single Gemini's should be aware that relationships started under Mercury retrograde tend to fizzle out easily. Creative projects may require that you do them over and over again.
The Sun enters Libra your solar 5th house of love, luck, creativity and romance and once again this s your time of year to hear sweet nothings in your ear!The New Moon in Libra 6* in your solar 5th house of love and luck suggests you have a real chance at true happiness.
August 2008
Gemini: (May 21-Jun. 22): As our monthly horoscope begins get read for the stuff romance novels is made of! The New Moon Eclipse or Solar Eclipse occurs at 9.32* Leo, August 1st, in your solar 3rd house of communications, twists of fate and thinking. The 3rd house is your house, as the sign of Gemini rules the 3rd house. With Leo here, you are competitive in your manner of speech, intellectual superiority, hunger for learning new things, and you can communicate all this knowledge with ease! You can show sheer genius.
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? Saturn in your solar 4th house is moving into a new degrees this suggests you are ready to put it all on the line. People will find you intriguing, interesting and are just waiting for you to show them what you know, and what you do. So don't be shy! The sign of Virgo is ruled by Mercury your ruling planet and this is where Gemini reigns supreme! Talks to us, write for us, we want to hear what you have to say, and what's in that mind of yours!
The Lunar eclipse at 24* Aquarius, in your solar 9th house of public opinion, influencing the masses, writing, publishing, dreams and spiritual pursuits the 9th house is a wellspring of rules and how to do's. What initially appears as someone infringing upon your space can turn into an opportunity to learn what to do in this situation or that, who to call and what to say!
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. Learn all that you can quickly to avoid problems! We cannot look at the Moon and her eclipses without looking at the Lunar Nodes which are also in Leo and Aquarius. Saturn moves out of its shadow at 8* bringing in new Saturnian lessons and Mars in Virgo a mutable earth sign will opposes Uranus retrograde in Pisces, a mutable water sign, in the solar 10th house of your very public life. Everyone is watching and judging you, that's just the way it is. You have arrived at, or achieved recognition in you family, community or for some, the world; you are accountable now, more than ever. Conduct yourself accordingly! With the opposition aspect we have two opposing energies that cannot relate to one another. Someone could confront you or challenge you, don't be shocked, it goes with the territory of more recognition! However, in the New Moon Eclipse cycle it takes on a whole different meaning...change! You may have to keep more of your private thoughts or life more private! 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.
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? 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 Pluto in Sagittarius 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. As Venus, ruler of your solar 5th house of competition, love and romance enters Virgo your solar 4th house of property, home, family, self sufficiency, and new beginnings a renewed sense of " I can make it" takes over and as you look back t all that you have been through and where you e now a sense of happiness and pride should over take you! For many of you this will mean being able to pay for all those day to day expenses that we can get behind in. For others the ability to rely on yourselves both financially and emotionally will be a boon! In other words your coping mechanisms should be performing very well. Your ruling planet Mercury enters Virgo, your solar 4th house and preparations are in order for your emergence into the big world! Opportunities to showcase your talents no matter how small, will lead to bigger and better things! Venus the planet of love conjoins Saturn in Virgo and the past reunites with the present and the future. A past person, emotional attachment or even something you lost could be revived or returned to you. As the planet Mars squares Pluto Rx in your solar 4th house of the past and your solar 7th house of marriage and relationships, it will seem that here is a confrontation. Look closer, someone could be trying to get your attention in a negative sort a way. This is how some people do it. Similar to children who misbehave just to get your attention too! Don't react negatively, stay quiet and think before saying or doing anything. Quickly thereafter, Mars enters Libra, your solar 8th house of shred resources, regeneration, reconnection and you'll realize that taking a different approach is better. You'll realize you cannot be alone you need someone. As Venus, ruler of your 7th house of marriage and relationships enters Libra, it's much better to make love than to make war!
July 2008
Gemini: (May 21-Jun. 22): Gemini as your monthly horoscope begins the Sun in Cancer your solar 2nd house of money this is going to be an emotional month for you as it challenges the very core of your being. Your solar 12th, and 4th house are affected this month be the amazing transits. Depending on your outlook, are you a person who sees the positive in everything or the negative? Houses 4, 8, and 12 are karmis houses that can bring those really big changes to your life. Cancer is your solar 2nd house of money and for Gemini this means that you are ready to protect and hang on to what you own and possess for yourself not to share (that's 8th house). You are attached to what you own and many Gemini's get a comfy feeling from things they have hung on to and saved! However, let's not fool ourselves the 2nd house is cold hard cash and Gemini wants some. Heaven forbid someone take your money from you this month!
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. When we map the conjunction of Mars and Saturn it falls through the coast of Brazil through the Caribbean. We know there are Fault lines that have caused tremendous earthquakes in Port Royale, Jamaica and Cap Haitian, Haiti.
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. For Gemini the sign of Vrgo is the solar 4th house and it's ruler is the Moon. The natural sign of the 4th house is Cancer your solar 2nd house of money and the 2nd house of money is your solar 12th house of insecurities and secret fears and vulnerabilities. The New Moon in Cancer your solar 2nd house of money brings new opportunities to create stability in finaces and pay debts off. In order to come out on top this month, you may have to face a few subconcious fears and release them once and for all. Ask yourself what is the worse thing that can happe? More than likely it can't happen and won't. Once you have released and confronted your own self, and your fears the 12th house can bbring a twist of fate and perhaps you can get money back, catch an error or find that someone owes you money! Since the 4th house also is where we want to show everyone what we are made of you just may have to show courage publically!
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. The best way to utilize the energy this month is to keep yuself busy, with home projects, getting your self organized and putting your best efforts forward to make money!
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 8th house of joint finances and your mate or partners financial situation could bring a circumstance where you are called upon to aid someone even your mate or partner and it's possible you won't want to. The combination of the 8th house of murging and purging and Saturn (ruler of the sign of Capricorn) could bring a life and death situation, or mean spirtedness by you or to you. You could have an opportunity to stick it to someone. That's not the best idea though!
As the Sun enters Leo your solar 3rd house, the house where your sign reigns supreme bring s back soft and romantic communications that have been missing from your life.
May 2008
Gemini: (May 21-Jun. 22): Gemini 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 1st house of personality and appearance, and your solar 4th house of security and endings. You haven't been communicating intelligently you've been changeable and communicating emotionally. Perhaps even lying about how you really feel. Saturn goes direct at 11:07 pm edt in your solar 4th house of emotions, home, and family, expect to move forward in this area. If you have experienced financial gains and independence, a sense of not relying on others expect that to increase. As Jupiter goes retrograde in Capricorn your solar 8th house of joint finances, sex and working on yourself, look deeper at your inner fears of intimacy, (which is your ability to really let another person get close to you) and expect your good fortune to increase! Mars enters Leo in your solar 3rd house of talking, short trips, cars and all types of comings and goings, you will be in demand! 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 it suggests that 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 the fixed stubborn, 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. Communications take front and center her and your desire to be heard, to dominate conversations and communicate effectively with others has been challenged. you have probably been lied to and your faith gets shaken, when you don't know who or what to believe. making your own way and being the best you can be might, get you respected or so your think. 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 12th house of secrets, sorrows and behind the scenes help you needed worry about selling your ideas everyone around you will push your endeavors forward. Twice as Nice? Maybe, maybe not. The Full Moon in Scorpio, in fact, the 2nd Full Moon in Scorpio, your solar 6th house of crisis, mean spirited arguments and fights could escalate into throwing things. You'll be lucky if it's only the door that's slammed.Sun enters Gemini, your solar 1st house of personality and appearance you will get lots of recognition and notice from everyone who comes in contact with you. Mercury goes retrograde in your solar 1st house of personality and appearance check yourself before going out in public, you could wear two different shoes.
