Knowledge is for passing along...

Week of Jan. 25-Feb. 1, 2009
The Comet Lulin will be approaching Earth and be at its closest approach around February 24th, 2009. It is in the constellation of Libra. For centuries ancient astrologers felt that the appearance of a comet precluded or foretold the deaths of kings, emperors and leaders.
Taurus: (Apr. 19-May 20): your weekly horoscope begins with the Annular New Moon Solar Eclipse at *6 Aquarius, begins what is to be a dynamic time that will propel us all into the future. The New Moon eclipse conjoins Jupiter the planet of luck and The magnetic North Node, our destiny and fate. Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system and its sheer volume can pull the Sun from its orbit. Needless to say that along with the New Moon eclipse, and the asteroid Juno (relationships) we are all in for sudden surprises and events and circumstances that move us forward collectively. There are fortunes to be made and fortunes to be lost, as any combination of the Moon and Jupiter foretells or forewarns. This New Moon eclipse is all together more potent because it joins a rare stellium or bundle of planets and asteroids all in the sign of Aquarius, that includes The Sun, Juno, the North Node, Chiron, and Neptune, making them all act as one planet or influence. I'm going to talk more about Juno and her Venus influence and affect on relationships in the Monthly horoscopes section. Every New Moon is an awakening of new energy, the hatching of new ideas and movements and the sprouting of new energy. This New Moon though is the awakening of your collective consciousness, your intuition, that inner voice that tells you where you should be and shows you that miracles really can happen and do. Aquarius rules friends, influential people your fondest hopes and fears, sudden attachments, being influenced by others, mentors and people from the past. In your solar Mercury rx conjunct Mars in Capricorn is typically associated with electrical or telecommunications problems and failures could this be a result of chilling ice and bad weather this week perhaps so. In your solar 10th house of career, status, power and authority you could be propelled into the limelight or be given more responsibilities or power at your job or in your career. While things may not always be what they seem once you get there, a new world of opportunities will be opened to you. The warning though is to guard your reputation.
Mercury goes direct in Capricorn at the same degree where it was on December 26th when it trined Saturn. 9th house of marketing, travel, new adventures and learning your desire for new experiences could come through your career and travel for your job or career. Negotiations and signing documents now gets the go ahead.
Your co ruler Venus the planet of love enters Aries your solar 12th house of secret love affairs, solitude, inspiration and karma. If you do travel you just might find yourself in the arms of a stranger and a brief sudden love affair could ensue.

The Comet Lulin will be approaching Earth and be at its closest approach around February 24th, 2009. It is in the constellation of Libra. For centuries ancient astrologers felt that the appearance of a comet precluded or foretold the deaths of kings, emperors and leaders.
Taurus: (Apr. 19-May 20): As the Sun enters the sign of Aquarius it joins Mercury Rx, Jupiter, the North Node, Chiron and Neptune; if that were not impressive enough next month we will have a rare bundle of planets in the sign of Aquarius, when Mars enters Aquarius early February. The pervasive attitude is "Let's do it!" The Ruler of Aquarius is the planet Uranus, which is in Pisces, and the ruler of Pisces is in Aquarius, this is called a mutual reception. For the entire year of 2009 the massive planet of luck and benevolence is siding with Uranus in the great Saturn-Uranus opposition and is also considered to be in mutual reception to Uranus and Neptune. Out with the old and in with the new? Not quite, there's another unique property to the sign of Aquarius and the planet Uranus, which is the higher octave of Mercury (time), it brings back people from the past, memories and yet can reverse things. Ever wonder what happened to your long lost girlfriend or boyfriend from high school? You could find out! To some extent the sign of Virgo, brings back the past and people from the past, except Virgo never likes to lose track of people from his or her past. Many of you could have a flash from your past as the planets come around full circle and the realization of dreams comes to fruition. The fixed signs or those of you born with lots of fixed planets will have to be flexible and allow for change to happen. Do you have a lot of fixed planets on your chart? The Sun is a light and as such will bring light through the properties of Aquarius to your life according to the house and condition of the planets involved. All this takes place in your, 10th house of career, reputation, status prestige and wanting to impress those in power, yet it is dependent on where your Uranus is placed and aspected. Could you find yourself in the midst of power brokers? You could and how you present yourself here in the 10th hose is very important. You don't want anyone to usurp your image, embarrass you in front of others or in public, or your reputation, not at this critical juncture. Everything is critical with the 10thhouse, it's important to you to be able to impress those in positions of power; your future is in their hands. The 10th house is a hard working house it's not the end game at all. The 11th house Aquarius is looking for support and others to invest in their talents and see their genius!

Mercury RX re-enters Capricorn where it transited on New Years Eve, making this a good time to remember what our resolutions were and if we have managed to keep any. It's great time to start again and reassess what we would like to accomplish in 2009. Capricorn is your 9th house of learning, travel, religion, and new adventures. As the sign that rules your 10th house you may only be interested as far as you can use knowledge and learning to get ahead. Although Capricorn is a deeply mystical sign how you use the expansiveness of the 9th house will be dictated by your chart and the planets aspected in it.
Mars in Capricorn will sextile Uranus, then trine Saturn in your solar 9th house Mars will shift your ideas and thoughts from love, romance and getting your selfish needs met to really finding someone who believes in you and with whom you can find support and someone who is invested in your success.
Venus the planet that rules love and marriage conjoins Uranus in Pisces and begins to aspect Saturn ruler of the past. Are you thinking of the past or someone from the past? This could make you see things differently in your solar 11th house of friend and ex lovers, you find your soulmate in someone who truly loves you and what you do. A person could come along who supports your creative energies, and projects. An ex could resurface and make life new again. You'll find your creative energy could return. Others will be talked into love or have a love at first sight experience.
The week ends with a New Moon Solar Eclipse, at 6* Aquarius in your solar 10th house of career, and ambitions (click here to see it) The New Moon Eclipse occurs on Jan. 25 or Jan. 26 depending on where you are located.. Each year we typically have about 3 sets of eclipses. Eclipses have been feared because they bring in such significant changes. In your solar 10th house with the ruler of your 10th house (Uranus) in your 11th house you can't escape your past and past desires, people, and dreams resurface and are renewed.
Week of Jan. 11-Jan. 18, 2009
The Comet Lulin will be approaching Earth and be at its closest approach around February 24th, 2009. It is in the constellation of Libra. For centuries ancient astrologers felt that the appearance of a comet precluded or foretold the deaths of kings, emperors and leaders.
Taurus: (Apr. 19-May 20): Mercury in Aquarius is retrograde through January 31st. It will resume direct motion at 21* Capricorn, where it was last December 26th, 2008. Retrogrades don't have to have the ominous effect that we like to assume they have. A planet when retrograde is at a point in its orbit that is farther away from Earth; so it appears to be retrograde. It is in fact giving off a different light and how we react to this light is what causes the effects of a retrograde. During retrograde we are supposed to be letting go of something, but that usually isn't apparent until mid way into the retrograde. Instead of resisting the Mercury retrograde energy, try relaxing and submitting to the energy, letting go instead of hanging on to situations, people and things. Since Mercury and Aquarius rule time, and feeling out of sync, just not wanting to adhere to a fixed schedule, feeling that time is accelerated and it's likely we will experience some minor unusual weather patterns. In your solar 10th house of authority figures, parental figures, career and working hard towards your goals the questions comes to your mind, "are you happy at what you are doing?" Putting up with so much for so little or just for money may not make so much sense. After achieving something you have wanted through your career you have to look at it and figure out if it was worth it or not.
As the Sun enters Aquarius your solar 10th house, and as the ruler of your 5th house of love and romance where Saturn sits, love, romance, feeling apart of something, could make you think about changing the course of your life this week!
Mercury RX conjoins Jupiter in Aquarius in your solar Jupiter is the natural ruler of Sagittarius your solar and it's transit in Aquarius, ruled by Uranus the ruler of the hierarchy of Mercury making time, and timing strange and different. This will change your routine, make you tired or give you a strong desire for sleep as you may not be getting as much as you would like. We live in an artificial environment ruled not by the Sun rises and Sun sets but, by our own artificial environments. We are artificially cooled, heated, and lighted, making our own human bodies stressed as our natural rhythms are maxed out. In your 10th house find a way to communicate without talking or acting like your own father or mother!
As your horoscope week begins the personal planets Mercury and Mars both in Sagittarius along with the Sun are lining up with the Lunar Nodes and its karma time! As much as we would like to think we are going to get a lot done this week we could experience mechanical, electrical and computer breakdowns and nervous breakdowns! Instead of just forging ahead we'll be forced to slow down by bad weather, traffic jams or unforeseen events. In Love many are haunted by the past still. The planets in the sign of Sagittarius are aspected by the nodes and many could feel that they are only making a little bit of progress. It's harder than ever to release the past! Saturn in Virgo, Jupiter in Capricorn, Venus in Capricorn and Pluto re-entering Capricorn, with such a strong emphasis on the Earth element and the sign of Capricorn right now, this week could be a bit tense! And it could be harder to relax. You could question your ability to keep moving forward and your energy could be low.
The largest planet in our solar system Jupiter ruler of luck and expansion along with the planet of love and luxuries are getting closer together in the skies bringing hope for our finances and futures. What's on our minds? Money! The Jupiter Venus aspect bodes well for politics and the economy so we may see a few rays of hope by weeks end. In your solar 9th house of foreign travel you could find love through churches, schools or through traveling. This aspect will also help you to market yourself or just tell others more about yourself.
Pluto re-enters Capricorn, the sign of the mystic Sea Goat, like it did almost 1 year ago previously on January 26th, 2008. Capricorn rules among other things the political outlook and structure. To be sure there will be lots of controversy as the climate of our country and then later, the world wants to uncover corruption and the misuse of power and showcase it! We can expect that a new world order is emerging where everyone is expected to live by and follow the rules, and if not, well Pluto in Capricorn will show you that it can't be bothered with anything less than you being a fine upstanding citizen. The sign of Capricorn doesn't waste time on anyone or anything it deems not serious and not playing by the rules. In your solar 9th house of learning many of you could become very philosophical and others could flock to you for learning or advice!
The New Moon at 5* Sagittarius, the sign of the archer who is ever looking to the future this is your solar 8th house of insurance, joint finances, loans and other peoples money. If you have had problems in this area of your life you could begin to solve some of the problems that go along with the 8th house, like refinancing, loans your partners finances, jealousy, scandals, repairing your reputation and loyalty issues.
Uranus goes direct in Pisces, from this point and through late February, Uranus is at it farthest point from the Earth, in its orbit. When a planet is at it's farthest point from the Earth, its influence is different, in fact the light it reflects is different, and it's called "Red Shift". This puts more emphasis on the Saturn in Virgo half of the opposition. All that worry can certainly make people jittery enough to finally say "No More"! We can expect the influence of Uranus to become more potent and the influence of Saturn to change as it goes retrograde. In your solar 11th house of friends you expect a lot and you give a lot to friends. You may be in the serious process of finding out who your friends really are!
Saturn in Virgo, Jupiter in Capricorn, Venus in Capricorn and Pluto re-entering Capricorn, there's a strong emphasis on the Earth element and the sign of Capricorn right now, this week could be a bit tense! The sign of Capricorn doesn't like to waste it's time on anything that isn't leading to something practical and serious. You'll find now that people have little of no patience for games and you wasting their time. Have everything in order and be ready or you will just be pushed aside and hear..."Next "! On the other hand Capricorn is power and money. If you have any, people will be nipping at your heels to get it from you. There could be lots of corruption afoot and misuse of power. Take your time and be cool, don't be pushed into making fast decisions so others can make a fast buck! Since you are an earth sign Taurus you know how to use this energy very well. Don't go by what you are feeling, go by your ambitions and your drive and you will break through blockages and troubles!
Week of Nov. 16-Nov. 23, 2008
Taurus: (Apr. 19-May 20): This week we are in a waning Moon phase meaning that the Moon is decreasing in the Suns reflection, from the sign of Cancer through the sign of Libra. Correspondingly we should be, ridding ourselves of things we don't use or need anymore, even by removing negative emotions. There are some who will be happy to let go of all the unnecessary things in their lives in order to make room for other things. There will be those people who understand that they may have to give up something to in order to gain something else. Like giving up sweets to gain your shape back. , Cleaning out your closets, and cupboards to make way for new items. Success too requires giving up things, like personal time spent doing other things. Everything is done this week knowing there's something special to be gained in letting go and giving up our old ways, structure and trivial pursuits! The weeks are not confrontational aspects; they are more suggestive of deep change. Moving from the sign of death and re-birth Scorpio, where we are confronting those things within ourselves that we would rather not, taking things to the limit or getting to the brink of disaster, bearing our souls to others and being striped naked in front of others, to be reborn and set free. Like getting your flu shot, like an animal being branded, or being held accountable for our actions, tested, tried and set free. Once out, we are in the sign of Sagittarius where we find inspiration, laughter, and new experiences, and realize things were never as bad as we thought they were.
It's been beautiful to watch the Sun, Mercury and Mars lined up, in the heavens for the past few months, as we begin our journey to the alignment of 2012. The major players have been assigned their roles. This is big. If you weren't listening, at the right time, when the call went out, if you were out playing and didn't let go of your nefarious pursuits, or put down your toys, if you were more interested in the pleasures of the moment, then heeding the call of the universe, it's almost too late now. There will be a few last calls for minor roles as Saturn opposes Uranus. Please take your seats as everything unfolds, this is a show you don't want to miss and you can't miss!
Mars the planet of fiery action enters Sagittarius where it last transited 2 years ago, December 2006. This transit becomes more important because Pluto will leave Sagittarius where it has been transiting for the last 13 years, since January 1995. In your solar 8th house of death and rebirth, Mars would be seen as still having an influence on your relationships and conflicts. You could still be compelled to take your anger, jealousy and blockages to the next level. Avoid escalating difficult situations that you know require you to take your mask off and be yourself to someone close to you. Shutting the door, may not be the answer. Mars here could also led to surgeries.
Mercury sextiles Jupiter then Saturn and squares Neptune. There's ample opportunity to muddle through communications and face your challenges without fear. In your solar 5th and 7th houses many of you will have to ask yourselves some serious questions about relationships and your love life. Dare I say, hypocrisy, could be a problem Being too philosophical could keep you from seeing the reality of your relationships and love. Stick to the self help books. Keep working on your issues about relationships you will get somewhere.
Jupiter in Capricorn trines Saturn in Virgo, a protective aspect not only for the economy but personally, in your solar 5th house of love and romance and your solar 9th house of foreign travel, some may travel for love, some may find love abroad or with someone from a different culture. The trine shows there's opportunity for growth, lucky breaks and complete healing, in matters of the heart. Your luck could change too. As The Sun enters Sagittarius your solar 8th house of intimacy, sex and your mate or partner's finances it's easier to look at yourself and breeze through difficult financial challenges, changes and transformations. Healing comes through connecting joyfully and laughing a bit more at life!
Mercury the messenger of the Gods, enters Sagittarius the place of its detriment, it's through deep transforming, situations that you find healing. Getting away and hiding out in foreign countries you find yourself and change happens. Travel, even if only from your arm chair. Find something to totally immerse yourself in and when you look up you'll find much time has passed and the old problems that were are no longer.
Week of November 9-November 16, 2008
This week a series of sextiles and trines, opportunities and lucky breaks, suggest better news for our economy as well as for everyone's hope about the future. The Earth signs represent determination and persistence in getting ahead with jobs and ambitious projects. It's time to dig in work hard and not be sidetracked by negativity, criticism or the enormity of whatever's before you. If you have a plan, a goal and a dream in front of you...you can reach it! You'll try to negotiate with people, get them to side with you, and perhaps by weeks end you'll be successful in getting those originally opposed to your plans or neutral to them, to go along with you. Your solar 7th house of partnerships gets most of the attention this week. Try not to look at others as adversaries or enemies, rather, as a challenge to cultivate diplomacy and win over minds and hearts!
It's also a week of re-positioning like the childhood game of musical chairs, if you like. As Mars leaves Scorpio, the sign that is known for permanent changes and its ruler Pluto the planet known for permanent changes, prepares to enter Capricorn, think about your future more seriously, and align yourself with people who are going places and doing important things. In your solar sector, 8th and 9th houses, and the restrictive past has to be made a memory. You can't go on like that any longer; you need hope of a better day to survive. This pivotal and important crossover occurs in your solar sector that rules,
Just before Venus enters Capricorn, Venus conjoins Pluto at the fated degree of 29 Sagittarius. For many it's time to go or move on! Venus in Sagittarius the Sign of exuberance takes a chance at a love she knows and inspires Pluto the planet of intense love or intense hate, to reconsider. It's like being at the train station and the train is pulling out of the station. Before we move on to the vast changes that are ahead, people will be brought together or go their separate ways. The sign of Sagittarius knows it's a big world out there with many people and places to discover. This aspect briefly talks about relationships and love held captive, for so long. Now it's the karmic time to make it permanent, step up to the plate or not! With Pluto it's all or nothing! Pluto never suggests anything, he orders it so. For many lovers and relationships this could mean you are free form Hades imprisonment. We have already seen Pluto move into Capricorn last year, so we are not afraid of moving on if we have to, we are not afraid of committing if we have to either. In your solar 8th house of jealousy, death and rebirth, purging and annihilation, feelings as if something or some part of you is dying or being taken just to the brink of being over, and then low and behold it's not. It's all about relationships for you this week. Before its too late and you pass the point of no return, bury your pride and reach out to someone you love.
The exception this week will be the Full Moon which typically triggers emotional responses. In the fixed sign of Taurus the Bull the Financial Markets are susceptible to emotional selling and buying. The lights, the Sun and the Moon will aspect Neptune and cast a deliberate shadow or fogginess on what is otherwise a good week. On the same day The Sun squares Neptune with Mars still in Scorpio. Something's amiss! Illusions, manipulation, and lies are just some of the tactics that some people will use to cover up their own short comings, and keep you in your place. In your solar 1st house, of new starts, you could realize you have started in the wrong direction with the wrong people. The Full Moon at 21*Taurus, rules the 2nd house of money and person values, look around do you share the same values and are you on the same level as the people around you. It could be like waking up in a crack house!
Once this weeks decisions are made, Mars and Mercury formulate the plan forward. Mars enters Sagittarius and with the exuberance of the sign of Sagittarius jumps in and is ready to tackle anything new and exciting! Paper work and making everything legal and getting everything in writing will be on your mind. Sagittarius is your solar 8th house, and instinctively Taurus knows right from wrong. Taurus also knows how to get up and go! If you find you are going in the wrong direction, turn yourself around! Once this weeks decisions are made, It' easy! Mars and Mercury formulate the plan forward. Mars enters Sagittarius and with the exuberance of the sign of Sagittarius jumps in and is ready to tackle anything new and exciting! In your solar 8th house of death and rebirth, you get every 2nd chance you could hope for. Hope springs eternal for Taurus this week!
Nov.2-9, 2008
This week Neptune the planet of illusions and higher than possible expectations goes direct. Hopefully you didn't give up your inheritance, renounce your family and go into debt while sitting in awe and pursuing this person. Putting lovers on a pedestal and worshiping them like they are a God or Goddess, is a Neptune thing! Sacrificing everything for love is another Neptune thing! Oh Well, as they say all good things come to an end, but, why love? We all just like to get swept away in the moment and dream that someone out there is going to love us and be our perfect compliment and we will live happily ever after, with now problems in the world. Blame it on Neptune then, when you are picking up the pieces of your life and facing the hard reality of it all. Quick check your Free Natal Birth chart for any planets between 19*-29*! Neptune goes direct in your solar 10th house of career, status, respect and authority, you could find that the respect or authority you thought you had or imagined you should get is not forth coming. Promises are not kept you could be very disappointed over the direction of your life.
Venus the planet of love squares Saturn and Uranus this week. In your solar 8th house of joint assets and intimacy could have your love life skidding out of control. Mars in Scorpio squares Neptune, in your solar 7th house of relationships and marriage you could have a problem someone if you strut around like a peacock someone could put your place. Pay very close attention to difficulties that arise with others, they could escalate out of control and lead to a parting of the ways.
Then as Mercury enters Scorpio, and there will be some nasty language flying around, as you get told off or you tell someone off, hang up the phone and just pretend the whole nasty ordeal never took place. In your solar 7th house of marriage and relationships, bad vibes that have been bubbling just beneath the surface explode. Slow your thought process down and be very careful with others.
Then Saturn in Virgo opposes Uranus in Pisces this week. Saturn will not give up under any conditions and in Virgo will nit pick and want all the minute details. Pisces, as we all know is a little fuzzy about the details and Uranus is just down right forgetful about the facts! That all spells trouble in everyone's love life this week! If you don't have a love life anymore, then someone or some business wants a commitment from you about when you can pay back your loan and how much you can pay! No one is getting away with anything this week! In your solar 5th house of love and romance and your solar 11th house off past lovers, you could be on the verge of just running back to a tried and true love. Especially when it seems that the love you have attracted recently is just plain weird.
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. Forget the election; you'll be in the lines on your cell phone talking to whoever will listen about the chaos in your personal life!
The Sun squares Chiron and the commiseration begins. Everyone can relate to conflict and being disrespected, The Sun in Sagittarius exaggerates what really took place and squares Chiron the wounded healer. The Sun in Sagittarius your solar 8th house helps you to see where you have gone wrong. You are challenged to see where you have gone wrong and played with others feelings and emotions. Can you admit t to yourself and others?
The Sun enters Scorpio your solar 7th house of relationships, marriage, partnerships and open enemies. Suspiciousness could be a concern when the Sun is in the same house with Mars. Mars is the ruler of your 12th house of self undoing and fears. The Sun serves the purpose of shedding light on problem areas of the 12th house or just shedding light on how to relax and find your inner peace. A good book, relaxing music or just finding your own little hidden sanctuary will be the Sun's gift to you this week. Since the 12th house also rules necessary employment you could find yourself taking a job that you don't necessarily want, but have to do temporarily. Many of you could find that special person that you can be with quietly and privately. A real blending and coming together could happen if you lose your shyness and open up to the opportunity of love. Still there are those of you who are intent on success and hard work and feel that love is just too hard and complicated right now. You may just find the right person to partner up with and work along side!
