Venus Conjunct Mars June 20 - 22 2009

A weekend of Love, Romance and Creativity

This can be a wonderful weekend for those interested in love, romance, creativity or just good old earthy pleasures. Venus and Mars will be Conjunct (in the same place) at 15 degrees Taurus. Taurus is an earth sign. The fifteenth degree is the center of the sign and this aspect will radiate energy for a number of days. Taurus is thought of as a foundational and productive sign. Taurus builds so that there can be future growth and security. Taurus creates peace and beauty (Venus ) for there can be little constructive growth in war (Mars). By combining these energies we can see that the practical and determined energy (Mars) that is part of the nature of this sign will persevere (Earth) through any challenge or crisis for a better future is built upon steadfast action (Mars) and solid values (Venus). The question becomes, what do you want to build in your life using the feminine (Venus) and masculine (Mars) energies that are available during this time. Creative approaches will be rewarded and spontaneity is the watchword in love and romance.

Mars conjuncts Uranus at 27 degrees 24 minutes Pisces

Venus Retrograde Transit 2009

This weekend, Venus goes retrograde in motion for a six-week period (3/6 - 4/17/2009). Venus rules two signs in astrology, Taurus and Libra. Venus as ruler of Taurus deals with material possessions, beauty on the physical level, sensuality on the physical level and the ability to get what one needs to feel secure financially. Venus as ruler of Libra deals with the social issues, personal relationships, legal issues and beauty on the ephemeral level. Beauty and art is a concern in both signs, but Taurus has a more practical application while Libra takes a more intellectual approach. Still another way of expressing the energy of Venus is to ask the question, what is it that you value on the material or social level. During the next six weeks, during the Venus retrograde, which occurs in the sign Aries and the last few degrees of Pisces, you may have to deal with this question in very real terms. Below you will find an explanation for each sign, based on that sign being the Ascendant or rising sign.

On a further note, Venus represents our values as a culture. As an example, Venus in the chart of the United States is in Cancer. Cancer rules home and family. The American dream is owning your own home. Pluto’s opposition to Venus last year crushed that dream for many people. We must watch carefully what occurs at the end of March and the beginning of April when Venus Squares Pluto in Capricorn. At this same time, she will Square her natal position in the birth chart of the United States. Pluto will again oppose the Venus position of the United States chart. We will see if the mortgage and financial crisis which came to a head when Pluto opposed Venus last year will lead to repair or despair. The Astronomers who demoted Pluto as a planet proved how little they knew of his potency. The negative side of Pluto rules the underworld and organized crime. He is Hades, "God of the Underworld". Surely what has happened to the United States financial system has been a crime of great magnitude. The organizations that perpetrated the crime were the institutions that allowed themselves to be bought and sold by political lobbyists and perhaps the government itself. Here is another interesting point, Pluto when he goes into battle wears the helmet of invisibility making him quite invincible. The false or misused forms the destroyer sets out to destroy - will never be the same, for the energy of Pluto will purify them so they can be reborn in a new and more powerful form.

(Aries) Venus transit your first house – during the six-week period you need to reevaluate the way you present yourself to other people. This can be as simple as reviewing your wardrobe or reshaping your body through diet and exercise. It’s a good time to be charming and outgoing, but you must make sure that you are expressing yourself with depth. Beware the fad diets, unwise spending and narcissistic tendencies. Take a good look at yourself and improve what needs to be improved. Make sure you take others’ needs into consideration so you can create harmony.

You may also run into delays if you are involved in legal issues or if you are planning a long-distance trip. Don’t believe everything that you hear.

(Virgo) Venus transit your eighth house – during the six-week period, you need to reevaluate the energy you expend, and the money you invest with other people.

Beautify your intimate surroundings.

The following is the most important long term aspect that is effecting not only the world, but each of our individual charts.

All other aspects must be seen through this influence.  It colors the background of our energy.

Just look at the world. We're in a hell of a mess. War is waging, banks are failing and nobody knows if the stock market will stay up or go down. Both political parties are calling for change and it sure seems necessary for our very survival. Could the gods have anything to with this? Are they angry? To find out, we'll have to take a little trip to the past. Most ancient peoples tried to capture the mystery of the natural world by personifying the powers of nature they could not control or understand. The most colorful, were personified by the ancient Greeks and inherited by the Romans. They gave us a Parthenon of Gods including: Zeus/Jupiter, King of the Gods, Cronos/Saturn, the god of time, limitation and karma, Uranus the god of chaos and willfulness, Poseidon/Neptune the god of the vast oceans and Hades/Pluto, the god of the underworld and mineral wealth. Could these gods have anything to with failing banks and plunging markets?

You're going to think it's a stretch to understand their pertinence to the mess we're in, so I'm going to ask you to use the power of your imagination (Neptune). The imagination is vast compared to the normal mind. Let's put a different face on these gods by describing their symbolic powers in the world. Zeus being the great sky god represents expansion and wealth. Saturn, represents accepted tradition, structure, the past, bureaucracy and fear. Uranus, the god of chaos represents sudden and unexpected change, willfulness and the future. Neptune, the god of water and liquids (oil) represents spirituality, illusion and fraud (religion is the opiate of the masses), and Pluto, the god of the underworld represents death, resurrection and great wealth (Plutocrats). How did they get these powers? Over the centuries, they were attributed to the planets by myths, philosophers, seers and astrologers. .

Before you dismiss the rest of this article, I suggest you heed the old axiom, "as above so below." Astrology is a powerful symbolic language that can give insight into our present dilemma and a prescription for how to cure it. The powers of the planets and their cycles were based upon observations by many people over many years. And just as we can see the cycles of nature: spring, summer, fall and winter, there are other natural cycles at work that can influence the expansion, contraction and utter chaos that we are now experiencing in our world. You can see it by looking at the past. We are experiencing a repeat of patterns that have happened before. I will offer the following descriptions in two distinct categories:

Powers of the Planets = the players and the playing field = the Signs. Two of the most influential Powers currently playing out a recurring pattern are the planets Saturn and Uranus. They are in opposition (conflict) and represent the struggle between the fear of leaving the past (Saturn) and the uneasiness associated with moving to the future (Uranus). The Jedi Master Yoda said, "The future is difficult to see - too much emotion with the future."

What is most compelling is that the opposition between these two planets is exact November 4, 2008 and in February 2009. There will actually be a repetition of this aspect over the next year.  And so the battle we are witnessing is between the forces of the past (status-quo, Saturn) and the promise or uncertainty of the future (chaos, Uranus). Somehow, both political parties have gravitated to the elixir, "change," which captures this energy well. But is there an easy transition to come? The last time these planets were in opposition was in 1965. That was a time of change and revolution but I would not describe the experience as easy.

Looking back at that time, Saturn was in the Astrological sign Pisces, which represents spirituality, compassion, large institutions, the masses and on the negative side fraud and dissolution. Pisces also represents healing on the mass level through large institutions. Uranus was in Virgo which represents work, health, employment, the common man and on the negative side destructive worry. Virgo also represents healing on the personal level by implementing common sense habits. The upheaval our social structure (Saturn) experienced in the 1960s brought a new awareness (Uranus) of what life could be. Uranus played the part of the instigator of new trends and a hope for a more humanitarian tomorrow.

The opposition occurring now is in the same signs Virgo and Pisces (the playing field) but the players Saturn and Uranus have switched places. Saturn is in Virgo, and Uranus is in Pisces. Since the most disruptive player is Uranus we will first examine his meanings in this cycle. Pisces, the last sign is being affected by Uranus. It represents the culmination of all experience or what is referred to as the global experience, the one world. This is the idea of a world without borders, a global economy and democracy for all. Although this is a compassionate idea, when we look at the history of the world, it seems to be an illusory hope at best. Contrasted with the global idea is the suffering of the common man, unemployment, inflation and loss of value – the working man and woman represented by Saturn in Virgo.

So here is how the game needs to play out. The forces of the past (Saturn), want to continue things in the same pattern, protecting the status quo (current bureaucratic structure). The forces leading to the future (Uranus) see the need to destroy the structures of the past so that creative energies can lead to new growth. Uranus is attacking the bureaucratic structure that has failed while Saturn is trying to protect the bureaucracy by sowing seeds of fear. There is an interesting balance that needs to be found if the social and business structure as we know it is to survive in some recognizable and stable form.

In every good story there is a twist that intrigues you and leaves you wanting more. In this story, that twist is the planet Pluto. But wasn’t he demoted by the astronomers? Yes, but it was at his own bidding. You see Pluto/Hades is the god of the underworld. When he goes into the game, he wears the Helmet of Invisibility. He likes to act behind the scenes or undercover. So what secret moves does the god of death and resurrection hold for us? Only the future knows for sure. Stick around, keep your eyes wide open, for you are living in interesting times.

Jupiter and Pluto Direct - September 2008

The planet Jupiter has been going retrograde since May 8, 2008. This is usually a time of review especially in business and with other socially expansive plans. He goes direct at 12 degrees 32 minutes Capricorn on September 8, 2008. He also makes a few beneficial aspects to other planets which will be helpful. So you can look for some good news and it is time to put plans into action. The planet Pluto also goes direct which is a positive influence for change. However, Pluto works on a more subtle level so even though you might not feel the difference, it still should support forward motion. He is wrapping up his transit of Sagittarius and will soon be in Capricorn for a long stay.

Since Jupiter is in the sign Capricorn, we will use that sign on the first house or the Ascendant.

Capricorn, the transit of Jupiter occurs in your first astrology house. This is a place that represents the expression of your personality into the world. It should increase your self-confidence and support your optimism. Since Capricorn is interested in the business of the world and the structure of society, this may help you get ahead. So be willing to take the opportunities that knock on your door or go knocking to find some. It would be a shame to waste this wonderful time that will last till the end of the year.

Aquarius, the transit of Jupiter occurs in your twelfth astrology house. It may be a good time to fade into the background for a while so that you can restore your inner energy. This is the place of deepening and development on a spiritual and psychic level before things are expressed to the outward world. What do you want to get out of your system so that you can be more efficient as you move through the world. What issues are deep in your soul that you would like to express to others? Plan but do not act yet.

Pisces, the transit of Jupiter occurs in your 11th astrology house. This represents that the opportunities that come to you they come through your friends or through professional associations. If you have ever wanted to get involved with politics, this is a good time to find a group of people with the same philosophy as you have who take action in the world. There may be a tendency to believe everything that you hear, so be careful to weigh the issues in a practical and judicious manner.

Aries, the transit of Jupiter occurs in your tenth astrology house. This is a favorable house for the planet Jupiter. The 10th represents social and career success. Jupiter is the planet of expansion and opportunity. This is an excellent time to put your plans into motion and to get them approved by higher-ups. What you need to be careful of is your approach. You may bite off more than you can chew, you could be a little pushy and you must not step on the toes of authority figures. With this in mind, go ahead.

Taurus, the transit of Jupiter occurs in your ninth astrology house. This is the house that Jupiter rules so you should have opportunities to expand your mind and understanding. This may mean that you sign up for a class in philosophy or religion or that you’re planning a trip to a far-off destination. Anything that brings you into contact with things that are at a distance in physical or intellectual terms can have great benefits. You might even meet someone from a foreign country or when you’re on a trip.

Gemini, the transit of Jupiter occurs in your eighth astrology house. This can be a very good time for business dealings or you might even gain some type of inheritance. This house represents the power and energy we share with other beings. It is also the house of renewal, so you may develop new attitudes concerning business and sharing resources. Here is a nice thought, it is also the house of sensuality, so you may find that you have an opportunity to be in a relationship that has great rewards.

Cancer, the transit of Jupiter occurs in your seventh astrology house. This area of the chart deals with relationships that you have with other people. This can be on a personal or professional level. So the opportunities that come your way may come through other people or through dealings with the general public. This is a good time to step outside of your shell and take some chances. Your ability to interact with others will improve because your understanding of their needs has improved. Pursue relationships and legal issues.

Leo, the transit of Jupiter occurs in your sixth astrology house. This might not be the happiest house for a Jupiter transit but it still represents opportunity and expansion. The type of opportunity that will come to you will deal with fulfilling obligations, taking on more responsibility at work or improving your health. Now these things are not bad, but they can represent a need for more efficiency, more discipline or an improved work ethic. Don’t fight it, for if you develop new habits now, they will support you for some time to come.

Virgo, the transit of Jupiter occurs in your fifth astrology house. Your sign is not thought of as one of the more expressive of the zodiac, in fact there is usually a sense of shyness or timidity. You can change now if you will open yourself up to a sense of adventure which involves expressing yourself in a more dramatic and outgoing fashion. This is not to say that you will become a drama queen overnight but you may be able to attract some very nice experience especially in the area of romance.

Libra, the transit of Jupiter occurs in your fourth astrology house. You are generally a social being Libra and you like to be with other people. But the fourth house deals with deep emotional issues, so if you would like to be social invite people to your house. This is also a good time to be looking for a new home or to make improvements to your current home. If your space has been cramped, it will also cramp your style. This is not a happy idea so cleanup, clean out and get ready for some new adventures in your own backyard.

Scorpio, the transit of Jupiter occurs in your third astrology house. You already have a penetrating mind Scorpio and you are noted for getting to the bottom of any issue. That’s why people would be wise not to try to pull the wool over your eyes. But now a different vibration calls for your attention. This is the time to expand your understanding and knowledge. This is the time to get out into the world or at least into your neighborhood so you can make contact with others. By sharing ideas, you can share happiness.

Sagittarius, the transit of Jupiter occurs in your second astrology house. This is a good omen for business and financial success if you control and discipline your spending. You may have many resources that you have not yet developed so this is the time to bring practicality to your ideas. What is it that you believe, that will also have value for other people. You are already an idea person, a teacher and a communicator so take the next step and package yourself so that you can have some financial gain..

August 2008 - Mars opposition Uranus

July 2008 exact July 10

Mars conjunct Saturn – In a sense one could say that this is an aspect of antagonists. Mars is an impulsive and aggressive force that does not like restriction. Saturn on the other hand, does not respect impulse and acts more out of tradition and fear. Saturn is a binding force that loves regulation, bureaucracy and structure, it respects the status quo. Mars does not like to be hemmed in and can challenge traditional structure through individual action. Mars rules action and desire, Saturn responsibility.

Mercury Direct - June 18, 2008

Mercury has been retrograde since May 26, 2008. Symbolically, Mercury represents the ability to learn, gather information, analyze, think, understand and communicate. It also has an influence on business, electronics, travel and general planning. The term retrograde means that Mercury appears to be going backward. It is not, but it appears to be losing ground in relation to the Earth. Mercury will go direct on June 19, 2008 and any difficulties involved in the above mentioned areas will begin to straighten out. This retrograde phase of Mercury occurred in the sign Gemini, the sign Mercury rules. So some disruptions in normal daily activity must be expected.

Mars trine Uranus 2008 #4 April 20 - 26

This aspect combines the energy of Mars with the unpredictable potential of Uranus. Since the trine it is a favorable aspect this should suggest some very positive outcomes. We must remember that Mars is the power of action and attraction and Uranus represents unusual and unexpected events. Therefore, this combination suggests that there could be some positive and unexpected experiences between yourself and other people. This is a great time to try new things and to expand your realm of experience. It may also be a very good time to invest in any type of new technology that would be helpful to your lifestyle. Since this trine occurs in water signs and the Moon will join both of the planets forming a Grand Trine this should be a wonderful time emotionally.

Aries - This aspect will connect your 12th and fourth house. With Uranus in the 12th house you may have some unusual experiences dealing with psychic or spiritual energies. You may feel that would not be wise to talk about these things with other people but you might be wrong. This just might be an expression of your insecurity or lack of trust. But if you can express your deeper feelings with those you are closest to, you may find they are more accepting than you thought and this would help build a greater sense of trust and a deeper sense of security. Do not neglect your emotional needs.

Taurus - This aspect will connect your 11th and third house. Uranus in the 11th is always open to the unusual in experience. It will attract new friends and associates to you especially if you are involved in organized activities that deal with humanistic issues. It is good to take a scientific approach to cultural issues but you must not allow yourself to appear cold and callous. Mars connecting from the third house will instigate a lot of mental activity that can instantly turn into verbal or physical activity. And here is where you must be careful. Do not overstep your bounds or tell anyone off, even if it's by mistake. Because what you think is right might not fit all situations. Also take care in travel.

Gemini - This aspect will connect your 10th and second house. This is an excellent time to use your insight and intuition in career and social situations. You might even be noted for your approach to a job challenge. Be willing to take the road less traveled and your rewards may be significant. Uranus always expresses best through individuality. So your own unique approach may prove to be spectacular and may pay off by gaining you a raise or promotion. If you do come into some money unexpectedly, make sure you just don't throw away. Invest it in new technology that will help you become more productive.

Cancer - This aspect will connect your ninth and first house. You might not be thought of as the adventurous sort for your emotional sensitivity keeps you tied to more conventional lines of expression. But this aspect can change that at least temporarily. This is a good time to open your mind to new ideas. This is a good time to be a revolutionary especially when trying to learn something new. And if you do feel that you have something that you must express to others this is also a good time to do so. Just make sure that your emotions are clear and you remain in control.

Leo - This aspect will connect your eighth and 12th house. You may have some incredibly unusual experiences particularly if you are dealing on the psychic or spiritual realm. What you may be seeking are answers to some of life's deepest secrets. And remember the old saying, "seek and ye shall find". You may come together with others in some unusual pursuits or you may be affected by someone else deeply. Remember this, what ever happens to you at this time can represent the doorway to a new future. But first you must be willing to use your energy to heal some of the experiences of the past.

Virgo - This aspect will connect your seventh and the 11th house. Uranus does not like being controlled by others. But his true genius might lie in his ability to bring new approaches to relationship. This may be demanded of you during this time period. You may sense that other people need some freedom or that you do yourself. You must approach this issue with equality for all. If you do not, you might find other people becoming too willful and acting on their own. You will gain much more both emotionally and materially if you make the effort to create peace and embrace new ideas.

Libra - This aspect will connect your sixth and 10th house. This could be the perfect time to take on a new work project or to seriously consider starting a business of your own. You must follow your own ideas but you must make sure they have some type of practical application and that they can be used in a systematic approach to life. For instance, if you put your energy into a new work or health routine, you may find that you can develop a package that can be sold to others. If your approach is unique enough and effective enough you can become highly productive and successful.

Scorpio - This aspect will connect your fifth and ninth house. Yes you have the courage of your convictions but is it worth shoving them down everybody's throat or coming on so strong that you alienate your friends? Believe your beliefs but allow others to believe their own. Otherwise you will be seen as a fanatic. If you remain open to other people and their ideas you may find that you do not have to protect yourself against them. This could open up a whole new world of creative and romantic opportunities. Just make sure that the people or ideas you are attracted to have some lasting value.

Sagittarius - this aspect will connect your fourth and eighth house - You are already known for your sense of independence and your sometimes crazy actions. Make sure that your need to express your own uniqueness does not come off as simple eccentricity. If it does, you could pay the price at home or in family issues. There are some traditions that are worth saving and nurturing. If you can deepen the emotional bonds that you have with that special person in your life, you will be rewarded handsomely. If you are too independent, you might lose the one you love.

Capricorn - this aspect will connect your third and seventh house - You are not known for independence of thought or radical thinking so you may surprise some of your partners when you suggests a new approach. This can be extremely effective if you can act without upsetting the Apple cart. So your task is this, look over the situation that needs to be changed. Turn it upside down in your mind. Take an approach that you would never take in the past and be prepared for a successful conclusion. Ironing out difficulties will endear you to those that you love.

Aquarius - This aspect will connect your second and sixth house. You may need to re evaluated your approach to financial responsibilities. Its nice to be free and independent but sometimes you miss important opportunities. Don’t be aloof now. Take all your energy and expertise seriously. They are gifts. Be willing to work on projects with others for you will find ideas can be brought to life through a group effort. You can make a difference.

Pisces - This aspect will connect your first and fifth house. This is a wonderful time for romantic adventures or new creative projects. Your ability to express yourself is at an all time high. Allow your personality to shine and reach out to others, you may make some unusual connections. There will be little to worry about if you maintain a sense of propriety and don’t get lost in your imagination. Stay tuned in to your feelings.

MARS OPPOSITION PLUTO - March 7, 2008

Best Days of 2008 # 1

The first aspect of this year that I will mention is a Trine of the planets Jupiter and Saturn. It is exact on the 21st of January and it will repeat three times this year. You may use its energy for the next few weeks. These planets will connect with one another from the earth signs of Virgo and Capricorn. This is a positive aspect that can lead to growth and maturity. Here's what it means for your sign.
