January 2009
Taurus: (Apr. 20-May 21): 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 5th house of creativity, and love, your storehouse of good fortune and good karma is being held back for emergencies only! Saturn retrograde is asking that you let yourself go and love, the hardest thing for you to do right now. Be unabashedly yourself.
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 2nd house of money, enters Aquarius your solar 10th house of career, status and respect, you'll be out to impress others with your wit, intelligence or your new car! While Venus the planet of love, ruler of your 6th house of work, responsibilities and health and enters Pisces, your solar 11th house of ex's and VIPs, you are more than willing to help out a potential love interest get ahead at work. In fact that could be the underlying motive for staying late at work or lingering a bit longer where you think the object of your affections might pass by.
Jupiter the planet of luck and expansion enters the unique and exciting sign of Aquarius your solar 10th house of ambitions, status and value you get from your business or career. Jupiter is the ruler of your solar 8th house of living on the edge, addictions, bad habits and rising from the ashes. You have every opportunity to get your good reputation and prior good standing back! A few well placed friends with influence could help you accomplish this!
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 3rd house of communications and comings and goings this affects your 2nd house of money too. You could be asked to make quick decisions regarding your money or you could make one of those emotionally based reactive decisions that cost you money so slow down and think! As 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 9th and 10th houses , think carefully before travelling or expressing your opinions publically. Typically Mercury retrogrades aren't a good time to start new ventures, relationships or 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 10th house of being an example to others you have to realize now that others are paying attention to what you say and what you do. Be a good example.
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! In your solar 10th house of recognition could put you in the limelight or make you the center of attention in some good way! The reputation you lost is given back.
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 9th house of learning, spirituality and travel a big trip could be in the works and has heavy implications for your future. As the month ends Mercury goes direct in Capricorn.
December 2008
Taurus: (Apr. 20-May 21): 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 influences politics in world events and we can see that the mood is hopeful; something good could take place politically. In your solar 9th house you excel at education and were probably your family's smartest child. Many of you could be tomorrow's visionaries and politicians, no doubt many of you could have excellent careers in law, or as teachers. For now it's all about getting the edge over everyone else in your career or specialized field. Making yourself standout is what it's all about for you. Getting not only local recognition for your talents but expanding on them will put you miles ahead of everyone else. Spiritually and religiously you may decide you need a place to rest your mind and your worries and you can't ignore this side of your life any longer. Dreams you have now are disturbingly prophetic in nature.
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 8th house of intimacy, your enthusiasm and tendency to just take off like a wild stallion has earned you a bad reputation. You suffer now because of unwise choices made in the past.
Mercury enters Capricorn in your solar9th house of legalities and travel and as the ruler of your solar 2nd house of money be prepared to pay in cash. Fines and legal matters need your utmost attention. All the things you want to do , travel, learn or take care of outstanding matters cost money. The good news is that you will make it hand over foot!
The Full Moon 21* Gemini, occurs in your solar 2nd house of money and unexpected expenses or someone trying to swindle you need to be watched out for. It's the trick of the hand, a purse snatcher or just someone not counting your change correctly that will have you reacting and telling someone off. Remember, during the Full Moon people have a tendency to be over emotional. 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 9th house you will know what to do and when. Your ideas are right on the money so speak up, people could see you in another light if they hear your opinions and your knowhow.
Mars enters Capricorn your solar and ruler of your 9th house of foreign travel and adventures, if you feel you must get away be sure you know the lay of the land or the laws of where ever you are traveling to. Take care f=of the small things and delight in knowing the rules. Tests and exams could be given and you could do very well now. Professional licensing will give you the edge in your career. The New Moon 6* Capricorn, occurs in your solar 9th house and many of you could be enrolling in classes or taking upper level examinations. Opportunities and new starts with education, or travel are possible. All this will enhance your already bountiful talents.
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 5th house many of you are selling yourself short in the love department. The consummate bachelor or bachelorette!

November 2008
Taurus: (Apr. 20-May 21): 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 10th house of careers, goals, respect given and received and authority, it would be very hard not to strut around like a peacock with Neptune here. How much you strut around like a peacock is probably the only personal difference and that would depend on your personal planets and natal birth chart. The 10th house is the house of downfalls and our reactions can be very shortsighted. The little bit of accolades and attention that we have gotten because of our abilities and unique talents, can be overblown in our minds and if we are challenged we feel that's it' a personal attack. The 10th house is part of the axis and is all important because it moves us in important directions. Neptune here s suggesting that yes, you are great but, be humble too. The really great rewards are still to come, so don' alienate anyone. Your eyes could be opened up to great missed opportunities that you yourself walked away from because of an overblown touchy ego.
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 5th house of love, romance, luck and risk taking and your solar 11th house of fitting into the right group or trying to, conflicts with the reality of your current situation. It's time to ask yourself what you have been trying to achieve. Loving someone else begins with loving yourself. You can't find on the outside what isn't found on the inside. Trying to please those in control or those that you think can further you life hasn't worked and it's time to reassess. There's a going back for Taurus and a getting back t basics once again.
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! In your solar 9th house of dreams and inspiration, you just might find that you are inspired most by the strong women in your life. Communicating your feelings though is too hard for you right now. Residential moves and property interests could be caught up in red tape. For some long distance loves capture your imagination. Are you suffering in silence, and heartsick?
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. Venus is your co-ruler and as such it's transit is very important to you. In Capricorn your solar 9th house it's still doubtful that you are looking for someone or something new. It's more likely that you will see someone from your past as new once again. Getting to the truth of what happened in the past or even if you are ready to admit the truth is unlikely just yet. Just know what's old becomes new again. Nov.13 the Full Moon in Taurus at 21*, in your solar 1st house of self assertion and independence, you could feel the emotional need to assert yourself and break free f the chains that bind you to those who could just be using you. The lines are so fuzzy that it's hard to know who's in the right or who's in the wrong. It I clear that the stage is being set for a confrontation. Mars the planet of action enters another fire sign, Sagittarius your solar 8th house of joint finances, ownership and power. Like a warrior into battle you'll use spirituality, religion, philosophy and in some cases the law to make yourself clear! The 8th house changes things permanently, and you have been going in that direction for a while. It's also the house of regeneration and renewal, where real healing can take place. Sun enters fun loving and freedom loving Sagittarius, every once in a while you need to fl the coup and just do your own thing. Travel and education could be very appealing to you now. Then there's the fact that Sagittarius and the 9th house rules legalities and the 8th house rules permanent parting of the ways. Divorce an major conflicts over inheritances and joint ownership, even bankruptcy are possible now. Agreements have to made as the lines in the sand are drawn.
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. A love of learning and, not just learning but, the desire to fathom the deepest aspects of the unknown grips you now. This is the house of death, rebirth, healing through making deep connections. You'll find yourself through your curiosity, your ability to understand the deepest mysteries and your ability to connect and heal others. There's a bit of magic in your life now.
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 9th house learning, teaching, traveling and inspiring others could launch a new career direction or business for you.
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 11th house of friends from the past, ex loves, you are always thinking if you ran away too fast!

October 2008
Taurus: (Apr. 20-May 21): 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" is each of one of us doing our part for the environment. This 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 you think so you become, 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 money sectors and you could be wondering where the next paycheck is coming from, or how you are going to manage all your bills.
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. This could bring happy news regarding work, and agreements about your future. A fortunate contact could make you more secure that your place in the world is secure. Take the opportunities that come to you. On Oct.3 Mars enters Scorpio your solar 7th house of relationships, competition and business. Your competitive nature could surge to the forefront as you are determined not to be passed over ever again.
As the planet of love Venus, the ruler of your 6th house of work and 7th house of relationships , sextiles Saturn, many of you could see where you might have missed opportunities or walked away from valuable relationships that not only involved affectionate feelings but big business opportunities. Venus Sextile Saturn, at first could bring disappointment, dissatisfaction and heartache followed by a breakthrough for some to reconcile with a past love. Older ties and bonds could haunt you now.
An important aspect this month will be Saturn Parallel the South Node in Leo. Remember that Saturn was in Leo over the past 3 years and no doubt we all have an issue or two left in limbo from the last 3 years that could come to an important resolution now. Expect some more fallout on Wall Street. This is a strong karmic alignment that makes it hard to focus. You could get lost or turned around and heading in the wrong direction today. Pay attention to the road!
The Full Moon in Aries in your solar 12th house of seclusion could make you feel a bit alone. No ones calling or returning your calls. Don't force issues, rest and release the angst in productive ways. Finally Mercury goes Direct n Libra at 7* where it transited September 3rd. As Mercury rules your solar 2nd house of money and values, you could see your way to finally fulfilling your personal desires. Venus the ruler of your 6th and 7th houses enters Sagittarius your solar 8th house of your partner's finances. You may have to do some quick back stepping as you find out something important about your partner or significant other. Love is passionate and deeply felt now. You could regret being so flagrant with your affections in the past!
As the Sun sextiles Pluto in you solar 6th house of responsibilities, you could regret things said or done that were impulsive or erratic. It's time to get back in the game and you'll push hard to persuade others not to give up on you. The Sun enters Scorpio your solar 7th house of partnerships and you have a way of influencing and getting others to do what you want. Perhaps its that you are overwhelming and ready to do what it takes to sway others to your way of thinking. 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 10th house of career and status you have been up and you have been down. There's so much you could teach others about maintaining their reputation and hard work. The New Moon in determined Scorpio 5*your solar 7th house of partnerships and relationships gives you a new lease on life. The 7th house is an axis house making this time for you a turn about in life. New beginnings are inevitable!
September 2008
Taurus: (Apr. 20-May 21): 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. The Sun and Saturn in your 5th house of love, romance, creativity, risk taking and luck, can perhaps shine some light on what you are doing right and what you are doing wrong. Loving yourself is an important 5th house concern. How can you like or love someone else if you don't like yourself or don't love yourself enough. Pamper yourself, and realize that you have so much to give everyone in your life. Many of you could take on relationships now where you give too much of yourselves and sacrifice too much. Others could find themselves thinking seriously about settling down. Your attractions could be to older, more stable people. Typically though you just might not feel that universe is presenting you with someone you can really fall in love with, in other words no one measures up.
Jupiter the planet of luck and benevolence goes direct in your solar 9th house of dreams, spirituality and foreign ideas and philosophies. Jupiter in Capricorn has a natural tendency toward eastern philosophy and religion. It's your time now to explore and find out where you are spiritually. Your dreams once again can become reality.
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, and there will be people out there that simply don't know why they feel so angry. In your solar 8th house of joint assets, power, death and rebirth, here could be a tendency towards secrecy with your personal life, yet towards airing your dirty laundry in other areas of your life. The 8th house ruler is Pluto and it also rules your 7th house of competition, significant others, marriage and enemies. Lot's of anger bubbles to the surface uncontrolled, yet the possibilities for growth are boundless.
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, 6th house of work, there can be a competition between what you have to do for your living and what you want to do and love to do. They always say to be successful you have to love what you do, don't compromise with that!
The Full Moon in Pisces 22* conjoins volatile Uranus in you solar 11th house of friends and expectations. It's important to think positively or we become self-fulfilling prophecies. This Full Moon could bring to light something you fear happening, not now though...in the future.
The Fall Equinox marks the beginning of autumn, when both day and night are of equal length. Venus the planet of love enters Scorpio your solar 7th house of relationship and you could find yourself once again in love. Will it be face to face with someone you know already? Perhaps.
Mercury goes Retrograde for a short period of time from September 24-October 15th depending on your time zone. In Libra your solar 6th house of work, responsibilities, and health, you have a strong desire to get out and about to meet new people, just remember sometimes, under Mercury retrograde it can just be 2 ships passing in the night. You are trying hard to jump start some aspects of your life don't give up.
The Sun enters Libra your solar 6th house of work, employment, health and diet, you get a second chance and are ne step closer to realizing your dreams. Those seeking employment could easily find it now and in favorable working conditions. The New Moon in Libra 6* in your solar 6th house of work, suggests that you are coming into a cycle of hard work. All the talents you have in your 5th house still need a little refinement. Talent is one thing, putting it all together is successful way is another.
August 2008
Taurus: (Apr. 20-May 21): The New Moon Eclipse or Solar Eclipse occurs at 9.32* Leo, August 1st. 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 4th house of home , family, the past, self sufficiency, you would just love to be able to move, have a change of life and be able to make you own way in the world. Every Taurus has a sort of umbrella or safety net and perhaps isn't willing yet to give that safety net up. When you do though, you'll soar and reach the dizzying heights. You are about to step out into he world!
The Lunar eclipse at 24* Aquarius, and 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. 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. 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 10th house of career, positions of authority and rises in glory, you have to decide on a direction in life! You know you have to step out into the world, yet you are waiting for pefect circumstances that never come.
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. In your solar 10th house of career, reputation and recognition you can't help but have some fact of your past follow you. Indiscretions, arrests or scandals, which you have in your book of past bad deeds; these could hold you back from really living. Over time these will fade, so begin now by moving forward and not being held back by them. Don't let them!
Mars in Virgo, Saturn in Virgo, Uranus in Pisces and Pluto in Sagittarius 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. When Venus, your ruling planet enters Virgo, your solar 5th house of love and romance, and notorious for being very picky , you could find love with a person who is going to work with you in life, if not already on the job. A love interest could become influential in your work or day to day activities. As the planet Mars ( ruler of your 12th house of fears) opposes Uranus Rx in Pisces, a crisis could appear out of the blue that makes you confront a long held fear and guess what? Nothing happens! You'll lose a little time and get right back to what you were dong. Venus conjoins Saturn, and settles your desires down to more practical means. You won't go for the glam but realize that you can find pleasures and romance with simple uncomplicated types. A pas love, and older love a love for your work or new hobby could consume you ! Just before Mars enters Libra he squares Pluto, it's like a clearing f the air before we reconcile. It could be an argument before making up, or a crisis that brings people closer. You'll feel much more settled once Mars enters Libra your solar 6th house of work. For many this could bring new work, a new job or anew found effort to get back in shape! No doubt bout it you thoughts about love are changing. What you thought you wanted turns out you don't. if you have had too many members of the opposite sex vying fro your attention, that comes to an abrupt stop. As Venus enters Virgo you want substance, not numbers and a help mate!
July 2008
Taurus: (Apr. 20-May 21): Taurus as your monthly horoscope begins The Sun is transiting Cancer you solar 3rd house of communications, travel twists of fate and fast paced circumstances. Your ability to communicate and dominate conversations with your superior intellect and smarts will earn you high marks this month. Since Cancer is you solar 3rd house of communications it will be easier for you to get your feeling across through any means of communiction, writing, eye contact, speaking, etc. However, this position can work against you if you get overly emotional, touchy and you just shut down, and stop communicating. You don't realise how powerful your communications are and what the effect is on other people. Cancer is you third 3rd of communicting and thinking, it rules the 4th house in the chart of Taurus and that influnces the way you begin or initiate experinces, and how you achieve recognition. The 3rd house is a Gemini ruled house which in turn is ruled by the 2nd house which Taurus reigns supreme over. In effect Taurus and Taurus rising uses the entire 1st quadant to push their desires forward. This makes you quite powerful and this month you get to use this energy!
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 kinds of dilemmas to the surface. Virgo is your solar 5th house of luck, love, romance, children and good karma. Mars is the ruler of Aries your solar 12th house of self undoing, karmic debts and finishing things you have already started. As Mars transits your solar th house will it seem like you do everything wrong, put your foot in your mouth and walk around with a dark cloud over you. Will you get involved with love interests that you know you shouldn't? It's a known fact Virgo on the 5th loves saint and sinners! It's up to you. Virgo here also represents sports and hobbies that require a great deal of technique. to make this even more complicated Mars will join Saturn in Virgo. 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? Could you be ready to explode? In the very least We can expect some turbulent weather and natural events.
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 jut 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 o take better care of the planet. This I 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. Those born under the sign of Taurus could make important decsions thi month and change their lives. it could all start with tension and emotions though. 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.Mars and Saturn in Virgo you solar 5th house of happiness, and love suggests you may look for love in all he wrong places because of lonliness.
The New Moon in Cancer your solar 3rd house of communications is great for new ideas and and jump starting your ambitions.
The Full Moon Capricorn your solar 9th house of foreign travel and legalities, sugests you keep out of trouble when you are looking for fun!
Taurus: (Apr. 20-May 21): Taurus as your monthly horoscope begins 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 2nd house of money and assets and your solar 5th house of love. We all know Virgo on the 5th likes sinners and saints and nothing in between. Saturn goes direct at 11:07 pm edt in your solar 5th house of love and romance, giving matters of the heart a green light. Do it right this time. Don't fake closeness. As Jupiter goes retrograde in Capricorn your solar 9th house of legalities, legal documents, learning and testing be sure to have everything in order before you travel or attempt to travel. The planet Mars enters Leo in your solar 4th house of home, security, and self sufficiency. Your home is your palace and if you are lucky, you'll find your palace. 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. Conflicts between your heart and your career or business could have caused more trouble that you could imagine in the past. You have the opportunity with your solar 9th house of travel, guidance and your solar 111th house of past loves to correct your life and move forward. 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 1st house of personality and leadership you finally have the self confidence to do exactly what you should be doing for yourself and your happiness. Plus you look great while your are being so self confident! Twice as Nice? Maybe, maybe not. The Full Moon in Scorpio, in fact the 2nd Full Moon in Scorpio, in your solar 7th house of relationships, it's all in your presentation. Don't get so hypersensitive that you see rejection where none is meant. Don't provoke other's either. As the Sun enters Gemini, your solar 2nd house which is a Taurus ruled house, doubly increasing your chances of making and earning more money! Mercury goes retrograde in your solar 2nd house of money and assets suggest that all the ground you made so far shouldn't make you so self confident that you start making mistakes. So check and recheck yourself, and don't lose your wallet.
