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.
Taurus - Venus and Mars are conjunct in
your first house. This house deals with
appearance and projection of energy. Venus
loves it here, as she is willing to display
her best side. She should be loving and
caring in an earthy way as she touches the
soul with her artistic creations. Mars will
push Venus into action adding self
confidence and the desire to achieve
personal recognition. Together they will
project charm with an impulsive and impish
energy that is sure to attract. Just be
careful of self serving desires.
Gemini – Venus and Mars are conjunct in
your twelfth house. This house deals with
personal limitations and inner instincts.
Venus may demand some quiet time as she
seeks the muse in the poetry of love. She
needs quiet and solitude to enhance the
depth of her feelings and compassion. Mars
will not be too happy with this type of
response as he actively seeks answers to
hidden inhibitions. He wants to conquer
limitations not dwell on them. Remember,
meditation is an exercise that requires
strength. So meditate on the muse and spend
some intimate time with your best friend.
Cancer – Venus and Mars are conjunct in
your eleventh house. This house deals with
social energy and group activities. Venus
will shine here as she applies a practical
approach for achieving harmony in the group.
Yes its party time but let’s make the party
count for something beyond our little
selves. Mars will push Venus to organize
exciting activities. Don’t sit on the
sidelines, let’s go out and play. Take the
lead, beat the drum and bring change through
constructive action. The world needs a
gentle revolution.
Leo – Venus and Mars are conjunct in your
tenth house. This house deals with career
and social position. Use the charm of Venus
to present your creative ideas to your
world, be it large or small. Mars will give
you the energy and persistence to overcome
obstacles while you reach out for fame and
recognition. The combination of these
energies can help you in any activity that
deals with politics, fashion, creativity and
social achievement. It just might be your
time to shine, so go to that special party
or gala event.
Virgo – Venus and Mars are conjunct in
your ninth house. This house deals with the
higher mind, things at a distance and
philosophy. You may be invited to a lecture
or attend a foreign film that opens up your
eye to different value systems. Venus may
help you understand that love has power in
every society. Mars may give you the impetus
to act on your wildest dreams – so watch out
Tibet – you just might have a visitor.
Remember, it’s not who wins but how you play
the game. Enlightenment begins with a simple
step forward. Study Buddhism or take a hike
in the high country with a new friend.
Libra – Venus and Mars are conjunct in
your eighth house. This house deals with
death, resurrection and how we share our
energy and resources with others. Venus will
take the gentle approach using refinement
and enticement to get what she wants. A
little bit of intrigue may be up her sleeve.
Mars is more bold, daring and
straightforward. If he sees what he wants he
will go after it. Blend both of these
energies and you will have a fine
opportunity to open someone’s heart as you
slay the dragon and rescue the damsel or
knight in distress.
Scorpio – Venus and Mars are conjunct in
your seventh house. This house deals with
marriage, partnerships and coming before the
public. Venus truly shines in this the house
she rules. Look for all kinds of
opportunities in the areas of relationships,
law and public relations. If you ever wanted
to beat down someone’s door, this
combination will allow you to sweet talk
your way in. Make plans for the future, look
for an improvement in your public image and
be willing to use the power of negotiation
as you get what you want by giving to
others.
Sagittarius – Venus and Mars are conjunct
in your sixth house. This house deals with
work, health and service to others. Venus
indicates your surroundings at work or the
conditions of your employment may improve in
some manner. You could get a reward for
everything that you’ve done. Mars warns you
to limit the use of excess energy to
constructive pursuits. If you need a rest,
take one. If you need to burn the midnight
oil, watch the flame. Accidents can and do
happen when you’re tired. Try to make the
best use of this energy by taking a new
creative approach to solve problems.
Capricorn – Venus and Mars are conjunct
in your fifth house. This is the house that
deals with romance, creativity, children and
speculation. In order to enter the Kingdom
of Heaven you must be like a child – so
play! If you are a talented individual, you
should find new inspiration and new
approaches in your creative expression. If
you are interested in romance and all its
excitement, look for some new
possibilities.. Venus will give you charm,
Mars will add the energy and life will feel
your joie de vivre. As you glow in the dark,
remember energy sometimes attracts unwanted
suitors, so chose your companions wisely.
Aquarius – Venus and Mars are conjunct in
your fourth house. This is the house that
deals with home, family and emotional
security issues. Venus should inspire you to
fix up, clean up or pretty up the house.
Take care of the needs of your family but
don’t forget a little something nice for
yourself. Mars gives you the energy to take
on the lawn, the paint brush or the attic.
You can accomplish more around the house in
the next few days than you have in the past
month. But please, take some time for idle
pleasures to regenerate your soul.
Pisces – Venus and Mars are conjunct in
your third house. This house deals with the
acquisition, assimilation and communication
of knowledge. It also rules short journeys.
Venus may inspire you to take a friend to
inspiration point for some submarine race
watching. – a 60’s term for parking. Mars
warns you not to get too fresh - too fast.
Learn how to listen as well as sweet talk
your date. This is a great time to take a
writing, theater arts or communications
course, you may meet some interesting
people. Remember this, if you’re really
trying to make a mark send a bunch of
flowers with that poem.
Aries – Venus and Mars are conjunct in
your second house. The second house deals
with material possessions, money, personal
resources and values. As an Aries, you
usually don’t like to take the practical
approach but Venus rules this house and Mars
your sign. So it would be terrible to waste
the opportunities that come your way. Look
closely at any opportunity for financial
advancement. At the same time, watch
carefully any unwise impulsive spending,
especially if it is for short term enjoyment
or personal pleasure. If you do want to
gamble on love or money the odds may favor
short term gains.
Days of
Blessing - Jupiter, Neptune & Chiron
Triple
Conjunction - Last week of May 2009
A highly unusual triple conjunction
occurs this month at 26-27 degrees Aquarius.
It combines the energies of the planets
Jupiter, Neptune and the planetoid Chiron,
If there were ever a time to put hope,
healing and inspiration into action – this
is it. The sign Aquarius is call the Truth
Seeker. This is due to the signs unemotional
interest in scientific and occult knowledge.
In cultural terms, it represents new form of
social interaction leading to freedom and
equality. Humanitarianism is a hallmark of
the higher vibration of this sign. One could
suggest that its natural instinct is to
invoke a broader sense of compassion where
the dogmatic thinkers and worshipers have
failed. As an example, it may provide the
impetus for universal health care. This
event could also lead to new discoveries in
science, medicine and the occult. Spiritual
development and an increase in imagination
empowers a new level of sensitivity. Used
properly it leads to creativity and
understanding. There is a dark side so take
care with false promises, make believe
plagues that could become real and distorted
truths. Intoxication can occur at many
levels and can inflame reality. Here are
interpretations for the signs.
(Aquarius) The triple conjunction occurs
in your first house. It may present you with
the best opportunity for personal expression
and expansion you’ve had in years. You may
obtain a deeper insight into how you project
yourself by listening carefully to what
other people say about you. Your sense of
confidence and optimism will grow along with
your belief in yourself and your abilities.
Jupiter expands, Neptune brings universal
appeal and spirituality and Chiron helps to
heal inadequacies. Please take advantage of
opportunities that come your way either in a
personal or business sense. However, you
should curb overindulgence, egotism and
selfishness. Share the wealth, be humble and
present yourself honestly.
(Pisces) The triple conjunction of
Neptune, Jupiter and Chiron can have a
powerful effect on your sign. It will occur
in the twelfth house of your chart. This is
important since your sign is the natural
ruler of this house. Also Jupiter and
Neptune have a sense of belonging in this
house. If you feel you need to disappear for
a little while to gather yourself – go to
it.. This is the house of spirituality,
dreams, the unconscious and super
consciousness. If you delve deeply into your
spiritual essence you might find all sorts
of treasures. If you need to heal yourself
(Chiron) or conquer your fears do not miss
this opportunity. The negative side to this
house is self undoing so keep your mind
clear, your emotions under control and your
actions above board. Please try to connect
with your higher spiritual guide and healing
angels..
(Aries) The triple conjunction occurs in
your eleventh house of hopes, wishes and
group associations. Do you remember the
story of Aladdin and his unusual adventures?
It may be your time to shine or share in the
magic (Neptune). Remember this, Aladdin had
to rub the lamp for the Genie to appear.
That means you have to do something
(Jupiter) if you want to accomplish magic.
The magic can help improve not only your
personal conditions but if you use the power
that is offered to you properly you might
also have a positive effect on your world.
Expand your influence by using your creative
and healing (Chiron) abilities in groups
that have humanitarian goals.
(Taurus) The triple conjunction occurs in
your tenth house. This is the highest house
in the chart and it can represent the
experience of success in practical terms.
This house brings you in contact with the
world at large through your career or social
situation. Take advantage of opportunities
for advancement (Jupiter) but do so
carefully. The power behind these energies
can indeed be positive but they can also be
misused (Neptune). You need to make sure you
really can do what you’re dreaming and that
the promises made to or by you can be
achieved. If you feel uncomfortable with a
deal that sounds to good to be true –
Listen! Your higher sense will give you true
guidance but it will not be able to overcome
your own greed. Keep on the true path
(Chiron) to healing.
(Gemini) The triple conjunction occurs in
your ninth house. This is the house of the
higher mind and abstract concepts. It is
ruled by Jupiter so the effects here can be
fabulous. Expand your mind and understanding
by combining your technical knowledge and
skills with intuitive insights (Neptune).
Study Buddhism, Taoism and the powerful
ideas found in the philosophy of Plato and
Socrates. You could be given the opportunity
to travel or study abroad but even if you
stay at home your mind will wander.
Remember, understanding can lead to wisdom
and wisdom to healing (Chiron). Keep your
heart and mind open.
(Cancer) The triple conjunction occurs in
your eighth house. This part of your chart
represents the ability to allow conditions
of the past to fade away (Neptune) so you
can move to a brighter future. You may gain
a deeper understanding of the hidden
motivation behind the actions of people with
whom you are involved. You may see how
people can join their energy together to
produce tangible results and this may
inspire you to join a group improvement
program (Chiron). Your sensitivity, as well
as your sensuality, can increase so do be
careful. An inheritance may come your way
(Jupiter). It could affect you on the
material or spiritual realms. Change
negative attitudes but do not believe
everything you hear.
(Leo) The triple conjunction occurs in
your seventh house of partners and coming
before the public. You may find that there
is a special spiritual quality (Neptune)
that can be nurtured in your relationships
and you should take the time to grow its
power. Bring your beliefs before the public
but do so in a gentle and caring manner. You
may hold the mantle of leadership (Jupiter)
so the quality of your actions and ideas
will be very important. This is an excellent
time to heal any problems you may have with
loved ones (Chiron). Keep your actions
within the letter of the law.
(Virgo) The triple conjunction occurs in
your sixth house. This is the house that is
naturally ruled by your sign. It represents
health, work, service to others and personal
transformation. This is an excellent time to
enroll in a self improvement program
(Chiron) or take similar courses to improve
your skill sets at work. You may begin a
study of yoga, Tai-chi or other mind body
disciplines. The connection between nature
and spirit may become more important to you
(Neptune). In work you may be able to
harness your imagination or intuition
leading you to advancement (Jupiter). Take
the time to nurture your body and spirit. If
you do so, your interest may blossom into a
full time calling in the healing arts.
(Libra) The triple conjunction occurs in
your fifth house. This is an important area
that has influence over your approach to
self expression, creativity of the mind and
body, and speculation. Wow, what an
excellent time for romance. New friends may
come into your life and help you shine. Your
rose colored glasses (Neptune) may lead you
on an adventurous journey (Jupiter) with a
compelling stranger. Leave your serious
responsibilities behind for a little while
so you can really enjoy the pleasures of
life and heal past wounds (Chiron). Write,
draw, create may a splash of color for the
world needs your inspiration. Just remember
to maintain a little common sense for this
time will pass.
(Scorpio) The triple conjunction occurs
in your fourth house. This should bring
benefits on the emotional level as your
sense of identity and belonging receives a
boost. Jupiter is accidentally dignified in
this house and Neptune likes its watery
composition. You should consider making an
investment to improve your home and family
conditions. You may feel a deep connection
to your home, family and cultural tradition.
Your Psychic, Spiritual and healing
abilities are intensified (Chiron) so make
sure you listen to your intuition. Love may
also deepen and if you have a hankering to
put down emotional roots with that someone
special - follow your heart. Make sure you
act with emotional clarity.
(Sagittarius) The triple conjunction
occurs in your third house. This can improve
your ability to learn new concepts, analyze
obtuse ideas and bring some of your crazier
ideas down to earth. New attitudes and
approaches can broaden (Jupiter) your
understanding so study, write or travel –
just make sure you know where you are going
and how to get there. Take advantage of new
intellectual and spiritual information
(Neptune) that can improve your life. The
process of growth that occurs at this time
can lead to new understanding and healing
(Chiron) in your immediate environment. Just
remember this when considering new spiritual
concepts, if they aren’t simple they
probably don’t represent the truth.
(Capricorn) The triple conjunction occurs
in your second house.. This is an important
position for your sign since it relates to
material possessions and the things you
value. It can bring some interesting
possibilities but you must maintain your
sense of conservatism so you don’t go off
the deep end. Money can come and money can
go for there is a powerful sense of optimism
(Jupiter). You’d probably be wise to invest
in the repair of quality possession rather
than buying something because its shinny and
new. If you are involved with business deals
make sure the people you’re dealing with are
on the up and up. Confusion can be your
enemy (Neptune), so if it looks like a
clunker it probably is a clunker. Take time
for physical and spiritual renewal for this
can heal and restore your energy (Chiron).
Mars
conjuncts Uranus at 27 degrees 24 minutes
Pisces
April 15,
2009
Mars is the
activator - Uranus is the unexpected
The Mars - Saturn opposition effects
still linger. The energy of Mars, the planet
of War and the energies of Saturn, planet of
fear and frustration, don’t like each other.
We witnessed the horrible murder of 14
innocent people in Binghamton New York. We
learned that this senseless act was caused
by fear and frustration. Soon afterwards,
three policemen were murdered in Pittsburgh.
Italy had a horrible earthquake and a ship
was hijacked. No one wants to use these
terrible incidents just to make a point.
However another powerful Mars aspect is on
the way. This time he will conjunct, or be
in the same place as, the planet Uranus.
Uranus is the planet of sudden and
unexpected events. This is not necessarily
an indication of disaster but it can be so.
There can also be wonderful new discoveries.
Let’s all pray that the positive energies of
these planets, constructive change and not
destructive events take place. Venus will
also turn direct this week so perhaps her
gentle loving energy will save the day.
Aries - This powerful conjunction
occurs in your 12th house. You
can expect the unexpected in your dream and
spiritual life. The subconscious,
super-conscious and spiritual realms will be
energized. You may have uncomfortable
feelings that you really don’t understand
but you should not push them blindly aside.
Your thoughts and actions are being effected
by inner energies, fate or Karma. You may
gain intuitive knowledge. You may identify
and release yourself from hidden fears and
worries by conquering them. This is a good
time for spiritual practice, yoga or tai
chi. Spend time at a retreat or with a
teacher, and study the meaning of the Occult
and Natural Law. Look to the light of spirit
for healing, affirmation and psychic
impressions.
Taurus - This powerful conjunction
occurs in your 11th house. You
may sense or experience inner change toward
prior goals and objectives. New changes and
new possibilities appear. You may lose old
friends but new friends and new potentials
are near. Social groups you relied upon may
change. Step up to a leading role if you get
the chance. Uranus likes this house and asks
you to use it's energy constructively. Don’t
use blind force to change social
institutions. You may be seen as a rebel and
institutions, like individuals will resist
you. Use your diplomatic and creative
abilities.
Gemini - This powerful conjunction
occurs in your tenth house. Exciting and
unpredictable change may occur in career or
your social position. Once important goals
and objectives in professional and social
areas may lose their luster. It may feel
like real world responsibilities are holding
you back. Take the challenge especially if
your deeper beliefs or ideas are involved.
Willfulness and independence used unwisely
may get you fired. New ideas or techniques
can lead to unexpected opportunity and a
bonus. Have your talents and individuality
been focused in a positive approach to life?
Success may seek you out from unusual
sources. The occult sciences or Astrology
can help you understand what’s happening.
Cancer - This powerful conjunction
occurs in your ninth house. This is an
opportune time to change your understanding
or vision of the world. Your higher mind is
energized like never before and you may be
attracted to new religious or philosophical
ideas. Abstract thought can open your mind
to knowledge that brings new understanding.
You’ll have to be careful not to be
manipulated by the beliefs of others and do
not try to use your ideas to manipulate.
Stay within the letter of the law and if you
have the opportunity, take a higher
education class. There are many ideas that
pass for truth - this fact alone should make
you realize that truth like beauty can be in
the eye of the beholder. Stay away from
violence.
Leo - This powerful conjunction
occurs in your eighth house. Change can seem
to come out of nowhere but if the truth be
known you have been expecting it. There is
great power in your soul but do you listen
to it? The things that you share with other
people, money, resources, sexual energy and
business deals may need to be adjusted. On
the positive side this can have some
exciting effects in intimate relationships.
On the negative side you may lose something
you expected from someone else be it money
or personal support. Keep your mind open to
the thoughts that pop into your head. You
often just push them away but now is not the
time to do this. You can have amazing
psychic and spiritual experiences if you
will only listen. Do not let the real world
the blind you.
Virgo - This powerful conjunction
occurs in your seventh house. The highlight
of this house is personal relationships,
partnerships with others, legal issues and
coming before the public. If you have any
chance to participate in any of these areas
do so with wisdom and caution. You may form
a new partnership that deals with
technology. If someone is being to willful
or has a tendency to bend the rules stay
away from them. Don’t break the law. If you
have developed your individuality and
creativity you may come before the public
and gain recognition. The key with this
energy is to know what to express outwardly
for the world to see and what to keep quiet
about. If you try to manhandle other people,
your strategies may backfire and cause
separations.
Libra - This powerful conjunction
occurs in the sixth house. This house is
concerned with health, employment, working
conditions and the ability to make personal
adjustments. Keep your eyes and ears open so
you’re not surprised by changes in your
work. This does not necessarily mean the end
of a job but it certainly should influence
the way you are working. It may mean that
you have to take a course or learn new
techniques so that you can be more
efficient. If you are working in an area
that is hazardous be more careful than ever.
Take extra care with details, watch your
diet, start a new exercise routine and do
some yoga or meditation. Remain flexible and
open to life. Challenges may demand action,
so give them your best. Be willing to help
those in need.
Scorpio - This powerful conjunction
occurs in the fifth house. This could be a
very exciting time. But only if you like
independence, freedom and adventure. If you
are holding onto things or people that are
not right for you a change may be imminent.
Be careful not to throw yourself into the
fire without looking first. You may develop
a new approach to love and romance because
you want to be more experimental. You may
leave an old love behind if it has been too
confining. You must listen to the muse of
creativity for this is a powerful time for
self-expression. Yes, you do have visionary
qualities and yes, you should use them.
Whatever you do - do not be destructive.
Sagittarius - This powerful
conjunction occurs in your fourth house.
This is a good time to change things in your
home. You might want to buy some new
furniture, clean and paint or move to a new
place. If you need to fix electronic
equipment such as computers or TV, get an
expert. On the personal level, you might
find that some deep changers are happening
inside. You might not look at life the way
you used to. You may need a new attitude and
a new approach especially on the emotional
level. If you feel you need a major upheaval
do not fear. You must maintain your
flexibility so you can remove barriers that
have held you back so you can deepen your
ability to feel happiness. Listen to your
soul.
Capricorn - This powerful conjunction
occurs In your third house. This area of
your chart is concerned with your ability to
analyze and assimilate information gained
from your surroundings. You may suddenly
need to access information using a new
approach. For instance if you’re not
computer savvy, you may have to become so
now. Be cautious if you’ve had trouble
expressing what you been feeling. Don’t
blurt out information that has been dammed
up for a long time. Look at new ideas and
new approaches but be careful putting
anything in writing. This energy can disturb
the normal flow of your thoughts. On the
good side this can make your intuition vivid
and compelling. On the negative side it can
make you too rash. Take care with words,
deeds and actions.
Aquarius - This powerful transit
occurs in your second house. Keep a tight
grip on your wallet for you may see
fluctuations in your money supply. If you
have valuable possessions, protect them. You
may have a sudden urge to gamble but
remember a gamble is just that no matter how
good it looks. If you can develop a more
detached attitude towards material things,
you may benefit emotionally. This is a good
time to use your talents to make money by
developing a new and unusual approach. Bone
up on all the new technical, scientific and
systematic knowledge that can help you
increase your income. On the negative side
you may fear loss but this usually clears
the road for a new path. Your creativity and
method of operation needs to be on the
cutting edge
Pisces - This powerful transit occurs
in your first house. You had better be ready
for excitement and challenge for this energy
will not bring boring conditions. You can
either dream about what you would love to
become for you do have a powerful
imagination, or you can take steps now to be
all that you can be. The real test that you
face is one of honesty. I don’t mean that
you’re going to lie but I do mean you may
shy away from your own truth. Know what you
believe in, be willing to stand for it but
maintain your gentle approach. If you go to
war now, make sure you have the biggest army
and the best weapons. Your awareness will
change so study metaphysics, psychic
development and astrology.
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.
Venus Retrograde Transit
for Each Sign
(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.
(Taurus) Venus transits
your twelfth house – during the six-week
period, you need to reevaluate
the spiritual quality of
your love. Do you have a truce sense of
sympathy and compassion for those who are
less fortunate than you? Is there something
that you can do to help others on a
volunteer basis? Review these ideas, and
meditate on the difficulties that you have
had with love in your life. This may give

good time to review activities that may
bring new social and romantic opportunities.

time to polish your presentation, you may
become a valuable asset in a career
situation.
(Leo) Venus transits your
ninth house – during the six-week period,
you need to reevaluate your beliefs, and the
ideas that connect you to other people. This
may be a frustrating time if you are

some problems with people who believe
differently than you. So you should really
know what you value and why. This goes to
religion and philosophical beliefs. 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. If there has been difficulty with
joint finances or in business deals you need
to straighten these things out. If there has
been any questionable activity, it must
stop. This is not a good time to open your
emotions, if you are in uncharted territory.
However, if you are in a partnership with
someone that you trust, you may be able to
bring the relationship to a much deeper and
more satisfying level.
(Libra) Venus transits
your seventh house – during the six-week
period, you need to reevaluate your
experience in partnerships, relationships or
with the public in general. This is an
important house for this planet, for she
rules this section of the chart. So please
take seriously anything dealing with the
above mentioned areas of life. So if you
want to improve a relationship, work on it
now. If you want to improve your standing in
the community, hire a public relations firm.
Put your best foot forward, show your
affections and bring peace to your
surroundings.
(Scorpio) Venus transit
your sixth house – during this six-week
period, you need to reevaluate
your work experience, your
ability to make changes and your health
regime. If you are given new
responsibilities or a lot of work to do,
adjust your schedule so you can complete it.
This may have a payoff later on. If you are
not happy with your health or your energy is
low, change your diet and exercise. This may
be a time period that leads to new
opportunities in the near future. So it
would behoove you to prepare for the future
and leave the worries of the past behind.
(Sagittarius) Venus
transits your fifth house – during the
six-week period, you need to reevaluate the
experiences that you have had in the areas
of creativity, romance and speculation. In
fact, if you had trouble in these areas you
may now be given the opportunity for
renewal. You need to be cautious if you find
yourself getting caught up in the drama of
defeat. You must also know your limitations
when it comes to speculation of any kind.
There is more fun ahead if you clean up your
act now.
(Capricorn) Venus transits
your fourth house – during this six-week
period, you need to reevaluate your attitude
towards your home, family and sense of
emotional security. Have you spent the time
necessary to keep a good atmosphere between
yourself and your family members. Have you
allowed other responsibilities to conflict
with those at home. Don’t take this question
lightly for you have a tendency to be
concerned with your position in the world.
Often times that conflicts with your
responsibilities at home. Beautify your
intimate surroundings.
(Aquarius) Venus transits
your third house – during this six-week
period you need to reevaluate the way you’ve
been thinking and expressing yourself. Your
sign has always been known for being a bit
quirky, if not out and out eccentric. Take a
good look at the way you think, the way you
assimilate information from your environment
and how you express your ideas. The things
that are most important to you,
individuality and truth, may not be the same
for everyone. Try to keep a harmonious
balance between yourself and the people
closest to you.
(Pisces) Venus transits
your second house – during the six-week
period you need to reevaluate the way you
spend and make money. If you have been
extravagant in the past, you may have to
curb your spending. If you have made some
bad investments, you may have to take a loss
and redistribute your money. If you have
been having trouble with your mortgage, this
is an excellent time to renegotiate a better
rate. Take a good look at your need for
security and how you go about achieving it.
This can be a very emotional issue for you.
Saturn vs Uranus February 2009
The following interpretations are based
upon the opposition between Saturn and
Uranus, which connects the signs Virgo and
Pisces. Saturn is in Virgo and Uranus is in
Pisces. The second opposition of a series of
five occurs February 4, 2009 and will be in
effect for quite a while. The first occurred
on November 4, 2008. It ushered in a new
president and a new approach for America.
Whenever these two planets are in
opposition, there is a battle between the
status quo (Fear) and moving to the future
(chaos). This battle usually creates tension
and challenge in individuals just as it does
so in the world. But it also represents the
opportunity to build something new. To
understand the challenge and opportunity
that is coming your way read the following
paragraphs. I will begin with Virgo to set
up the house pattern for these
interpretations. Each sign will be used
following this pattern. However, if you know
your Ascending or Rising sign, read that
interpretation for your chart. This may help
you understand, what is happening in your
life so you can adjust to new and changing
conditions.
Virgo – Saturn in the first house
opposing Uranus in the seventh suggests
there may be some challenges in
relationships, partnerships, or when coming
before the public. Saturn tends to be
protective and rigid, so you will have to
look at the image you are projecting to
others and how that has been affected by
your personal fears and habit patterns.
Uranus opposing Saturn may bring you into
contact with some very unusual people or
personal situations. If you are too rigid,
and unable to go with the flow, then you
will miss some opportunities for personal
growth. You may also experience tension that
will lead to dissolution of partnerships, if
your partner wants to try new things and you
are afraid. You must be willing to change
and become more expressive or at least
become open to the peculiarities and
approach of others.
Leo - Saturn in the second house opposing
Uranus in the eighth house suggests the
challenges come in the area of personal
value, money and resources. The second house
Saturn wants you to maintain whatever it is
you have. You will be protective and
conservative with your resources. This does
not merely mean money, but also your
physical energy and talents. Uranus opposing
Saturn will challenge this conservative
streak in some unusual ways. You might have
difficulty seeing eye to eye with others
concerning investments or business plans.
You might also be brought into an
uncomfortable sexual experience where one
person wants to be more experimental than
the other. When dealing with others, be
careful but flexible.
Cancer – Saturn in the third house
opposing Uranus in the ninth house suggests
the challenges come in the area of
understanding, analysis and communications.
You, like everyone else, have created a way
of thinking and analyzing that has been
formulated through your education and
experience. This presents you with a safe
way of dealing with your surroundings and
the people in your world. The time to change
this has come. Uranus would like you to
expand your understanding, and so you will
be presented with some challenges to your
pattern of thinking and expression. You will
run into some new ideas that may make you
feel very uncomfortable. If you can absorb
them and blend them with your current
understanding, then you’re on the path to
the future.
Gemini – Saturn in the fourth house
opposing Uranus in the tenth house suggests
that the challenges come in the area of
personal security and public responsibility.
Your emotional roots represent a very
sensitive part of your life. Saturn in this
area brings a challenge to your inner being,
your home and family. Have you built your
sense of security on fear or individuality.
If you have built it on fear, then energies
from outside of your control may shake the
very basis of your life. Authority figures,
especially in the area of career, may
challenge you. If you have individualized
yourself, then you could be in for a wild
and successful ride. You need to be able to
rely on your inner security, so you can
reach for the stars. Individuality, may
bring sudden and unexpected success.
Taurus – Saturn in the fifth house
opposing Uranus in the eleventh house
suggests that the challenges come from the
area of personal creativity, expression and
pleasure to group participation. Saturn in
the fifth represents a structured way of
expression and going after the things that
bring you pleasure. You may be very serious
about romance, children and the things that
you create. The opposition to Uranus in the
eleventh house may bring you face to face
with group situations that open you up to a
larger purpose than your own desires. Will
you go after your own pleasures, or will you
see the needs of the larger picture and
bring your creative touch to social needs.
This is a good time to become a humanitarian
and join your energy with others. The
opportunities can broaden your whole life,
but you may have to lose some personal
control.
Aries – Saturn in the sixth house
opposing Uranus in the twelfth house
suggests that the challenges come from the
practical areas of personal health and
employment, and the deeper area of the
subconscious or super-conscious mind. You
have set the standard for yourself and you
have worked hard at achieving personal
goals. Saturn in the sixth loves to keep
your nose to the grindstone. But Uranus in
the twelfth house of your chart is
stimulating a deeper part of you. You may
start to question the practicalities of your
life versus the spiritual needs of your
life. Deeper intuitions and dreams may
disrupt your everyday approach to life. You
may have to learn how to listen to your
dreams no matter how crazy they may appear.
Remember the saying, what does it benefit a
man to gain the whole world if he loses his
immortal soul. Trust your intuition, deepen
your spirituality and open the potential of
your soul.
Pisces - Saturn in the seventh house
opposing Uranus in the first house suggests
that the challenges come from relationships,
partnerships or dealing with the public. You
have set a standard in your relationships
that may be based on old thinking or
personal fears. Do you still feel as loved
and accepted as you need to feel? Are you
sharing the best of your being with others?
Your interaction with others must come into
review, as new energies are expressed
through your individuality. You may have a
bigger potential or different potential to
express than you have in the past. You may
be itching for freedom, but you need to be
careful with erratic expression. A study of
astrology may help you understand the
energies that are pushing you forward and
trying to keep you in the past.
Aquarius – Saturn in the eighth house
opposing Uranus in the second house suggests
that the challenges come from your values
and the way you use your resources with
others. What have you shared with other
people and what have they shared with you?
If you have given your all, have they
returned the same? There may be new and
better ways of sharing your energy and
developing a purpose beyond yourself. When
you mix energy with other people has this
helped expand your potential? You may be
presented with some new ways of making
money, sharing energy and deepening your
creative energy. Try not to be too willful
when dealing with things of value and be
willing to try to deepen your sensuality.
You may also find a new depth of psychic and
intuitive experience.
Capricorn – Saturn in the ninth house
opposing Uranus in the third house suggests
that the challenges come from your ability
to assimilate and communicate knowledge in
new ways. You may find that you have
actually closed your mind to new ideas.
Tradition and structure gives you a sense of
being right minded and acceptable. You know
that knowledge is power, and you know that
the powerful have knowledge. However, there
may be a bunch of new ideas and new people
coming into your life that challenge the
status quo. You may have to take a new
course of study that will help you expand
your knowledge and be more effective in your
everyday life. You may have to learn how to
use new tools like a computer or new
technologies. You must be willing to analyze
the new ideas and give them a sense of
practical value so you can incorporate them
into your life in a productive manner.
Sagittarius – Saturn in the tenth house
opposing Uranus in the fourth house suggests
the challenges come from the
responsibilities or position you hold in the
real world and your inner sense of being.
You have tried your hardest to be
successful. You have worked, used ambition,
joined the accepted tradition and have
become to some extent either a success or
failure in the eyes of the world. But there
is a deep stirring within your being that
cannot be ignored. Did you sell yourself
short? Have you worked up to your individual
potential, or did you just fit in so you
could be a star? Real stars don’t fit in!
Real stars shine a light from within. If you
are dissatisfied with your position or
career, a bright new beginning, may await
you.
Scorpio – Saturn in the eleventh house
opposing Uranus in the fifth house suggests
the challenges come from social
responsibility and your personal sense of
romance and creativity. In your struggle for
achievement, did you meet the goals that you
set for yourself or were they merely a
reflection of something that society told
you was good? If your professional
activities have brought you a sense of
satisfaction that is well and good. But you
may find that there is a deepening itch
within you for something more exciting. And
what could be more exciting than to express
yourself and your own genius. You may find
that you are leaving some old attitudes
behind so that you can approach personal
expression and romance in an exciting and
more pleasurable fashion.
Libra – Saturday the twelfth house
opposing Uranus in the sixth house suggests
that the challenges come from deep within
your spirituality and the practical approach
that you have taken towards life and work.
The true nature of your spirituality may
have nothing to do with your work a day
life. In fact, your spirituality may have
been hampered by your everyday duties. If
you have dreamt dreams beyond your small
existence, if your work does not benefit you
or others on a spiritual level, and if you
find the value of what you do lacking on a
more profound level, then you must change.
You cannot lie to your own spirit or soul.
Therefore, you must listen and be willing to
change so that your work becomes your
spirituality and your spirituality becomes
your work. This is in truth, where
individuality lies!
JUPITER
TRANSIT AQUARIUS - 2009
Jupiter enters Aquarius on January 5,
2009 and stays in that sign till January 19,
2010 for a year long stay in this friendly
sign. Aquarius is noted for its interest in
scientific knowledge and truth. The
expansive nature of Jupiter in this sign of
humanitarian instincts should make it easier
to establish a new approach to social and
economic realities. Look for some break
through developments in science, especially
if they deal with space or higher science.
The natural interest in social issues should
also instigate some new understanding of
religious and social values and how they can
distort reality. He is joined by Mars in
February which stimulates activity and he
will conjunct Neptune May through July which
increase imagination, spirituality and
sensitivity. Below are interpretations for
each sign.
Jupiter’s transit is
interpreted in the houses. I will start with
the sign Aquarius as the first house or
Ascendant. If you know your chart
adjust for the proper interpretation.
(Aquarius) Jupiter is transiting the
first house of your chart. This time period
presents opportunities for personal
expression and expansion. Learning who you
are as a person and how others are effected
by your actions and energy. Move outward
with a new sense of confidence and
adventure. Business or social areas awaken
so take advantage of the good that comes
your way. Do not overindulge or be too
selfish. Growth comes when you are willing
to share your good fortune. Travel and
adventure spice up your life and you can
expand your mind through the study of
philosophy or spirituality. Diet; get plenty
of exercise; and control egotism. Don’t be a
know it all.
(Pisces) Jupiter is transiting your
twelfth house. This is your house and
Jupiter is thought of as a ruler of this
sign. Therefore good can be experienced on
the level of spirituality and inner
dimensions. Develop an interest in
psychology, the psychic and your spiritual
being. Develop your compassion toward self
and others. Take time to think deeply about
your life. What have you learned? Study
Natural Law especially the Law of Karma, "as
you sow, so you reap." You Astrology. quiet
time, prayer, meditation, occult studies and
yoga can change your life. A powerful
spiritual teacher may appear to guide you.
Volunteer to help in your church, community,
in schools, or places of need. As you open
your heart, your heart is filled. Use your
intuition and imagination to better the
world and your place in it.
(Aries) Jupiter is transiting your
eleventh house. Opportunities may come
through groups, organizations and social
contacts. Use power or prestige to help the
social context in a positive manner. Like
minded people may join you in projects that
transcend the little ego. Don unto others as
you would have them do unto you should be
the law of your life. If you live this way
you will realize some important personal
humanitarian ideals. Kindness given will
lead to kindness received and the potential
to realize hopes, wishes and dreams. Wish
power works just as prayer power works. Be
the ripple in the pond that creates a gentle
effect in your favorite group of people.
This can also create an effect on your
culture and the world. Creative
individuality opens and your ingenuity can
shine.
(Taurus) Jupiter is transiting your tenth
house. This is the house of career and
social opportunity. Your need for
advancement leads to new career or social
positions. Ambition is heightened and you
can approach those in power. You may have to
respect established cultural and social
roles because you want to be a part of them.
There is an attraction to educational
institutions, government, foreign trade,
law, publishing and teaching. Accept new
responsibilities quickly, work hard to prove
yourself fro they pave the way for a
brighter future. Your reputation is built by
cooperation with others and your ability to
be responsible. Self esteem, confidence and
production increase and so may your salary.
Do not be arrogant or you could loose all.
Travel for business as you get the green
light in career and social situations.
(Gemini). Jupiter is transiting your
ninth house. This is the house ruled by
Jupiter. You should have an exciting and
interesting time. Many benefits can come
your way as you reach to expand your life
and understanding. You can get a new view of
life as you travel to different places,
either with the mind or body. New ideas,
religious thought systems, philosophies and
abstract thought, or ideals become
attractive or compelling. If you ever want
to start your masters, or any higher degree.
This is the year to do it. Since
understanding is so important in this house,
you may want to study the work of Socrates
and Plato, especially Plato’s Republic and
Apology. The benefit here would be an
understanding of Socratic wisdom. You may
also to understand that the world has not
changed that much in thousands of years.
Study Buddhism, Taoism, Christianity and the
Islamic belief systems, and you will
understand the vast differences in the
world. Will you practice what you preach?
(Cancer) Jupiter is transiting your
eighth house. There is a great opportunity
to renew your inner psychic power and your
ability to connect with people on a deep
intimate level. Take advantage of business
partnerships, for they can bring gain. This
may also be true, if you are involved in the
businesses of publishing, higher education
or long-distance travel. You may find that
there is a real opportunity to remove
personal limitations that have been based on
inner fears. Your sensuality can increase as
can your sensitivity so use wisdom in this
area of your life. Yes, there may be an
inheritance, but that needn’t only refer to
material issues. This is a time of death and
rebirth, so ask yourself this question: what
would I be willing to give up, if I could
have a .new life? The door is open to
increase your spiritual, psychic and healing
abilities so spend some time developing any
latent talents in these areas.
(Leo) Jupiter is transiting your seventh
house. This can be a fabulous year that
brings improvement in relationships,
business partners or by coming before the
general public. The hard work of last year,
the discipline and adjustments you made can
pay off now. You can receive help from other
people who are more open to you. As you
learn to express yourself and your ideas,
you may catch the public eye. Join a theater
group, go on TV or the Radio or teach a
class. Just don’t allow your life top become
a public circus - remain professional. Start
new things with new people that can grow and
prosper in a few years time. You may gain
some influence in your world whether it be
big or small.
(Virgo) Jupiter is transiting your sixth
house. Here the opportunities come from hard
work, fulfilling obligations, and by self
improvement of all kinds. Freedom may be
lost as responsibility becomes intense. The
payoff come if you keep on the grindstone
and do your best. You may even be amply
rewarded. Look for self satisfaction, a
bonus, promotion or a deep sense of personal
achievement. On the job conditions can ease
or your relationships with bosses and
co-workers improve. Travel or study for work
and improve your abilities. The improvements
can also effect diet and health and your
interest in natural or spiritual healing may
grow. This is a good time to begin good
habits.
(Libra) Jupiter is transiting your fifth
house. This can be a fun time. New
experiences can improve your ability to
express yourself. You may feel alive and
vibrant. You can be very direct with other
people telling them all your ideas and
romantic fantasies. It is a good time to
write or do creative work. It is a good time
to take a romantic journey with a compelling
stranger. Just maintain some common sense.
You can broaden your understanding of life
by studying religion or philosophy or you
might even teach in a local community
college. Become involved with children and
you will understand the saying, "in order to
enter the kingdom of heaven, you must be as
a child." Jupiter can be too expensive in
this area, so do not be foolish when it
comes to love or money and beware
overindulgence.
(Scorpio) Jupiter is transiting your
fourth house. This is a perfect time to
enrich your inner being by pursuing your
deep self. Home, family and personal
emotional foundations are ruled by this
house, and thankfully Jupiter is
accidentally dignified in this house. So the
opportunities that are presented to you deal
with personal security and a sense of
emotional foundation. You might like to
establish her roots, developed a sense of
belonging or buy an improve property. Your
family should come first at this time even
though they may be more responsibilities
that conflict from your work or career. Your
healing and psychic abilities can improve,
so listen to your intuition or gut feelings.
This is truly a time to deepen your personal
values and your love of intimacy.
(Sagittarius) Jupiter is transiting your
third house. The opportunity that is
presented to you, deals with broadening your
intellectual ability. You can become one
with your environment in a new way, almost
gaining understanding through osmosis. Your
consciousness expands as your integrate new
experience. Make new contacts, study, write,
and reformulate your beliefs. Your mental
abilities improve through meditation or
education and you should take some time for
spiritual development. Friendships and
relatives become closer and your every day
life can feel full. Work on your ability to
perceive new ideas and deepen your
understanding. You can change your attitude
toward life and form new thought patterns.
Communicate and illustrate your ideas by
removing restrictive fears. Life can be
vivid and fun.
(Capricorn) Jupiter is transiting your
second house. This time can lead to many
opportunities for expansion on the material
level or the personal sphere of your life.
But here is the question you must ask of
your self, "what is your real sense of
values?" Are your ideas important or are
your possessions important? Do you use your
resources wisely? Do you get what you really
want or more than you need? This is a good
time for business and your personal
resources can grow. You may find others are
more generous to you. Banking, the law,
sports, higher education, foreign business,
religion, and travel are all possible places
to make money. Invest with wisdom and be a
conservative. Remember this question, "Do
you own your possessions or do they own
you?" Good management can lead to freedom
and less worry.
The
gods must be angry! FEBRUARY 2009
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.
The energy in an opposition always
implies a need for balance. And balance is
hard to achieve, just look at the world
markets. We need to maintain the structures
of the past - at least temporarily - if we
are to move to the future without total
chaos. Saturn is known as the Lord of Karma
and the Teacher. Surely he has given us good
lessons that point out some obvious failings
in the current world system. Greed and fear
(Saturn) have held a powerful sway over the
masses (Pisces) and have instigated the
terrible and unpredictable (Uranus) ups and
downs that the world is feeling. But since
Saturn is in the sign of the everyday man
(Virgo), he points to the need to be
practical as we move to new systems and
repair failed structures in the future.
Uranus, as the instigator of change,
needs to be harnessed in a practical fashion
(Saturn in Virgo) so the change that comes
does not totally destabilize our traditional
institutions (Pisces). They help maintain
our social structure and balance. If we can
take a little from both sides to create the
needed balance, we can move to the future
without total chaos. We have already
witnessed steps being taken to heal the
large institutions (Uranus in Pisces) and
this will help. However, we must not forget
the common man and woman (Virgo). If their
faith (Pisces) is not restored then fear
(Saturn) will unravel (Uranus) these efforts
like a house of cards.
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
This aspect is exact on
August 6, 2008 at three o'clock in the
afternoon Eastern time. However, it's
effects may be felt the week before and
after. The nature of Mars is dynamic and
aggressive although toned down in Virgo. It
represents our desire nature on the physical
level so it is often an active force that
takes direction from impulse and instinct.
Uranus usually works on a higher level than
Mars. Its nature is to be inventive and
eccentric. It represents the genius capacity
in our personality and it can instigate
disruptions of the status quo. Its
vibrations are electric and when in
opposition to Mars, the planet of war, it
can represent explosive and unexpected
events. Therefore, on a global scale, we
could see an escalation of violence or
protests against the status quo. Since China
is on the world stage great care will be
needed to keep the Olympics exciting without
allowing violence to erupt. There may be
some surprises as this aspect suggests
common people, as represented by the sign of
Virgo, may grow tired of the larger
bureaucracy, and take action against it for
its lack of sensitivity (Uranus in Pisces).
This may also have some effect on oil prices
which are greatly effecting the common man &
woman. The conjunction of Mars and Saturn in
July sent the stock market to one of its
lowest point in years. Now Mars, in
opposition to Uranus, may have a similar or
opposite effect. It will be up to the amount
or intensity of energy stirred up by these
two planets. For instance, this could
represent a breakthrough in new technologies
which would have a beneficial effect or
stunning new records might be set at the
Olympic Games.
Virgo -- the opposition
occurs from the first house of personality
and projection to the seventh house of
relationships and cooperation. Are you aware
of the way you are projecting yourself? Mars
gains strength by being in the first house
but if this causes you to come on too strong
you may be surprised by the reception you
receive from others. There may be too much
independence and willfulness going on for
peace. So if you want to maintain a good
relationship be willing to be flexible and
understanding.
Libra -- the opposition
occurs from the 12th house of spirituality
and self undoing to the sixth house of
health, work and service to others. You are
a social being Libra so you may not like the
limitation that Mars in the 12th house
brings you. In fact, if you take some time
to be alone when you do go out to be among
others you’ll have an easier time. Make sure
you follow through on any good ideas that
you have for work but do not take any
chances around new equipment. Master new
techniques and technology.
Scorpio -- the opposition
occurs on the 11th house of group resources
and hopes to the fifth house of romance,
children and creativity. You have great
inner strength Scorpio but this is not a
good time to demonstrate it among your
peers. If you do so, you may find great
resistance from others. It would be much
better if you work together to achieve some
new ideal or to bring some new idea to
market. Do not hold on to the past or be too
inflexible and willful.
Sagittarius -- the
opposition occurs from the 10th house of
career and social position to the fourth
house of home and emotional foundations.
This is an excellent time to put all your
energy into achieving career goals. Your
work may be noted for its individuality and
effectiveness. However, you must be very
careful not to step on the toes of those who
are closest to you. You will not feel very
successful if you are suffering from
emotional problems at home. Be careful with
appliances and tools and be willing to move
if there is no other option.
Capricorn -- the
opposition occurs from the ninth house of
abstract ideas and distance to the third
house of the mind and communications. This
is a time of great ambition and ideas. You
should be putting your best foot forward and
proving your ability to lead others.
However, you must not allow your
conservative ideology to trump new ideas
that can lead to a better future. You have
the ability to manage change better than
others if only you can see the necessity and
the functionality of what is needed in the
future.
Aquarius -- the
opposition occurs from the eighth house of
shared resources and sexuality to the second
house of personal resources. If there is an
important project that needs to be done, you
will have to take the bull by the horns. It
is important that you rally others around
you rather than trying to force them to your
ideal. You must not be too willful in a
business sense or in a an intimate personal
sense or you may lose out. You may find a
sudden attraction that’s a little bit too
hard to resist, so take care.
Pisces -- the opposition
occurs from the seventh house of
relationships and cooperation to the first
house of personality and projection. It
would not be like you to be accused of
coming on too strong but there is a real
possibility of that occurring now. You do
not want to alienate the people that you
need to work with or live with. So remember
to listen and go with the flow. If you do
this, you might not only limit damage but
you might also have a real opportunity to
become involved in some exciting events.
Just make sure you realize your limitations
and control your ego.
Aries -- the opposition
occurs from the sixth house of health, work
and service to others to the 12th house of
spirituality and self undoing. Since this
opposition includes your ruling planet Mars
you should be particularly careful in how
you do things. You don’t want any accidents
and you surely do not want to become ill so
learn to be careful and to relax. This may
open a new doorway to deeper spiritual
understanding which can unleash powerful
creative urges that seem to come out of
nowhere. Give some time to the deeper nature
of your being. It may be where you find your
true individuality.
Taurus -- the opposition
occurs from the fifth house of romance,
children and creativity to the 11th house of
group resources and hopes. Determination is
one of your strong points anyway so don’t be
surprised if you really focus on what you
want at this time. What may be surprising,
is that you have completely changed or
opened yourself to new and exciting
opportunities. This will not only affect
your personal life and opportunities in that
area but also your business life. You can be
truly creative and productive in the
business world. This could also lead to an
increase in income but be careful with what
you gamble.
Gemini -- the opposition
occurs from the fourth house of home and
emotional foundations to the 10th house of
career and social position. The aggressive
nature of Mars is not very comfortable when
it is bottled up by home and family issues.
Mars being the planet of the warrior would
rather be out in the world expressing his
independent and adventurous nature. The
opposition to Uranus suggests that there may
be a conflict brewing between family
responsibilities and career ambitions. It
will be beneficial to realize that having a
stable atmosphere at home can add to and
enhance the ability to be successful and
recognized for one’s individuality in the
career world.
Cancer -- the opposition
occurs from the third house of the mind and
communications to the ninth house of
abstract ideas and distance. There is little
question that your imagination is vibrant
and exciting but it also can get you into a
lot of trouble emotionally. You need to take
the ideas that are most important to you and
find a way to express them that does not
cause havoc or seem to be challenging to the
status quo. There are some wonderful ideas
that are heading your way but you must find
a way to express them in a practical and
realistic manner. Don’t get carried away
with yourself.
Leo -- the opposition
occurs from the second house of personal
resources to the eighth house of shared
resources and sexuality. Other peoples ideas
may be quite different from your own. You
would rather have the upper hand at this
time but it would be wise for you to listen
and consider a different direction. You
don’t have to go out on a limb but you may
need to expand the realm of your
possibilities. You like to control things
the way you want them. That’s not always
possible and during this time period, it may
even be impossible. Let genius and
individuality prevail.
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. In its
broadest sense this aspect can imply warring
factions that do not want to understand one
another.
Here is what this aspect can mean for you
and how you can use it.
Virgo – The Mars Saturn conjunction
occurs in your first house of personality
projection. You can gain great insight into
the workings of your personality at this
time. Do you come on too strong or are you
too timid? You will find out by the way
others react to your action or inaction.
Focus on personal adjustment.
Libra – The Mars Saturn conjunction
occurs in your twelfth house of limitation
and hidden agendas. Step back and gather
yourself. This is a time for spiritual
understanding and meditation. You must
recognize how you have set up failures in
your past and the conditions you are
unconsciously setting up for the future.
Focus on clarity.
Scorpio – The Mars Saturn conjunction
occurs in your eleventh house of group
associations and dreams. Reaching out to
others must be done with a purpose beyond
your ego needs. If you act on principle you
may succeed in gaining the support of
powerful allies. If you make a selfish grab
for power, watch out. Focus your idealism.
Sagittarius – The Mars Saturn conjunction
occurs in your tenth house of career and
social standing. This can set up a dammed if
you do and dammed if you don’t type of
situation. Make sure you know what you want
to accomplish and if indeed you are capable
of doing it. Stay within the limits of the
law. Focus on achievement.
Capricorn – The Mars Saturn conjunction
occurs in your ninth house of abstract
thought and understanding. Take a look at
the structure of societies norms. Yes,
shared ideas are important. However when
ideas create inequity - even in a free
society - there are important ramifications
that effect those without a voice. Focus on
truth.
Aquarius – The Mars Saturn conjunction
occurs in your eighth house of sexuality and
shared resources. You are not noted to be
the most amorous or emotional of beings.
This is not a slam but just a comment on the
intellectual approach you take to life. Now
you must not take the needs of others or
yourself for granted. Make peace not war.
Focus on power.
Pisces– The Mars Saturn conjunction
occurs in your seventh house of
relationships and legal issues. Saturn can
speak with the voice of authority while Mars
wants to act like a teenager. Take your time
in partnership issues for your actions can
have great impact or lead to frustration.
Focus on equality.
Aries – The Mars Saturn conjunction
occurs in your sixth house of work, service
and health. This can be an important time
for you since Mars is your ruling planet.
Take the time to look at how you do things.
If you feel frustrated at work, find out
why. If you need a better diet, discipline
yourself now. You can finish important
projects. Focus on work.
Taurus – The Mars Saturn conjunction
occurs in your fifth house of romance and
creativity. It’s nice to feel loved.
Everyone wants to feel wanted and that can
cause some problems. You may feel that your
being asked to give too much while receiving
too little. Just remember you may be a bit
sensitive at this time. Focus on love.
Gemini – The Mars Saturn conjunction
occurs in your fourth house of emotional
foundations. Home and family issues may
abound. Make sure you handle your
responsibilities and keep yourself from
feeling down. A good walk, doing some
household chores and feeling secure are all
important. Focus on security.
Cancer – The Mars Saturn conjunction
occurs in your third house of thinking and
communications. This is a good time to
finish educational projects. If you try to
learn something completely new you may
experience frustration. You should also be
careful when driving or around heavy
equipment. Focus on thinking.
Leo – The Mars Saturn conjunction occurs
in your second house of personal resources
and possessions. This is not a good time to
gamble or sell yourself short. Take
inventory of what you have and how it can be
used. You must be productive and efficient
and you can make money from honest effort.
Focus on money.
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. When
Mercury goes direct at 12 degrees 59 minutes
Gemini on the June 19th and for a few days
after, there could be some clearing work to
do. Some possibilities for each sign are
delineated below.
Gemini - Mercury has been retrograde in
Gemini in the first house of your chart. You
must concentrate on how you are thinking and
expressing yourself to others. Part of this
might be a need to control the amount of
movement, thinking and talking that you are
doing. It is never good to worry but at this
time it can be very destructive. Let the
past be in the past
Taurus - Mercury has been retrograde in
the second house of your chart. You must ask
yourself, "do you have something of great
value that others need"? Analyze the
positive and negative sides of your opinions
and let others know how following your
advice can be eminently practical. This is a
good time to be careful with your money and
signing contracts.
Aries - Mercury has been retrograde in
the third house of your chart. Take great
care in any reports that you are preparing
at this time. You might miss some of the
details if you do not study careful. What
you must look for is depth of knowledge
without being dogmatic in your expression.
Sometimes when you follow your impulses, you
are wrong. Develop patience.
Pisces - Mercury has been retrograde in
the fourth house of your chart. It is good
to be sensitive to other peoples ideas and
needs, but do not allow them to confuse you.
You must use your logic if you are trying to
make important judgments not just your
feelings. Study topics that are important to
you but remember to allow for the needs of
family members and home repair.
Aquarius - Mercury has been retrograde in
the fifth house of your chart. You are
always attracted to the unusual in people
and places but now you must be a little bit
discriminating. Yes they can have some very
unique ideas, just make sure they're not
babbling. Clever is good, unrealistic and
unpredictable can lead you down the path to
trouble.
Capricorn - Mercury has been retrograde
in the sixth house of your chart. You are
always interested in using time tested
techniques to solve new problems. However,
you have to know when an approach will no
longer work. Sometimes you have to be more
flexible and ingenious when old methods
simply fail. Now may be that time. But do
not throw away all the success from your
past. Learn how to integrate it into the
future.
Sagittarius - Mercury has been retrograde
in the seventh house of your chart. You may
feel the urge to run away or throw up your
hands when something is not working. This is
okay if you have the freedom to do so. But
you should think before you act or speak
since you may put your foot in your mouth.
Be open to the advice and counsel of others
before making decisions that could backfire
in your life.
Scorpio -- Mercury has been retrograde in
the eighth house of your chart. This can be
a powerful time if you meditate and deepen
your mind. You do not have the time to waste
on superficial people or ideas. However, you
may be too affected by past emotions and you
could miss a new appreciation that comes
with a different point of view. This is a
perfect time to review psychic and spiritual
experiences.
Libra -- Mercury has been retrograde in
the ninth house of your chart. Try to might,
you may never really feel balanced until you
learn the secret of letting go of worry.
Once you do, you will allow yourself to be
more decisive in your judgments. Some far
out ideas or unusual people may cross your
path during this time period. Take the time
to investigate them, for they may lead you
to the understanding of a new truth.
Virgo -- Mercury has been retrograde in
the tenth house of your chart. In your life,
details can be found everywhere. The
question you must ask yourself is, are they
causing your head to spin around? Take a
step back from the need to be perfect. You
will not make perfection in this world
anyway. Do not be sloppy in your personal or
work life and you will get through this time
period with flying colors. Respect your
responsibilities.
Leo -- Mercury has been retrograde in the
eleventh house of your chart. Some projects
may not have taken the direction you planned
for them. Lucky you! You may have been going
the wrong way. This could be a great
opportunity to try new approach. This could
be the birth of creativity. Remember,
creativity grows out of challenge. Be
adaptable, open yourself to new ideas and
people, and you will grow and glow.
Cancer - Mercury has been retrograde in
the twelfth house of your chart. No one
would question the fact that sensitivities
your strength. However, this is only the
truth when it is allied to clarity and
purpose. This is an excellent time for
contemplation, meditation and the
development of spiritual understanding. A
clear look at the past in your emotional
responses may lead you to a powerful new
understanding for the future.
Venus Trine Jupiter - May 18
th
A trine is a favorable aspect of 120
degrees. It suggests an easy flow of energy
that can blend the energy of planets that
are located in signs of the same element. In
this aspect Venus is at 22 degrees Taurus
and Jupiter is at 22 degrees Capricorn.
Taurus and Capricorn are both earth signs.
Venus is strengthened in Taurus. Trines can
be highly beneficial bringing opportunity
and potential for growth. There is also a
natural positive flow between these
beneficial planets. And here is the rub, you
can miss the opportunities that come your
way if you take it too easy.
Aries – The Trine connects Venus in the
second house of resources to Jupiter in the
tenth house of career and social standing.
If you know what you really value you may
find an opportunity to pursue it. Be willing
to step up to a more visible role in
business or social events. Don’t make money
your god.
Taurus - The Trine connects Venus in the
first house of projection and appearance to
Jupiter in the ninth house of higher
understanding and ambition. Your appearance
and approach can open new doorways so be at
your best and invest in your couture. Once
the door opens be prepared to learn new
skills.
Gemini - The Trine connects Venus in the
twelfth house of seclusion and spirituality
to Jupiter in the eighth house of shared
resources and sexuality. Go inside by quiet
meditation and prayer and you may overcome a
personal limitation or fear. This will allow
you to deal with others from a position of
power by using sensuality.
Cancer - The Trine connects Venus in the
eleventh house of group
associations to Jupiter in the seventh
house of relationships and coming before the
public. More can be accomplished if you
identify friends who enjoy common pursuits.
By sharing energy and understanding your
standing may grow in the community.
Leo - The Trine connects Venus in the
tenth house of career and social standing to
Jupiter in the sixth house of work, health
and service to others. It may feel natural
to take a leadership role and you can do so
by using finesse. Make sure you have the
benefit of others in mind or follow the
wisdom of the ages. A teacher may appear.
Virgo - The Trine connects Venus in the
ninth house of higher understanding and
ambition to Jupiter in the fifth house of
personal creativity and romance. Not
everyone shares the same values but you can
expand yours by understanding a different
perspective. Express the kinder side of your
nature and win people to your cause.
Libra - The Trine connects Venus in
eighth house of shared resources and
sexuality to Jupiter in the fourth house of
home and personal foundations. A good
relationship may be the most valuable
resource anyone can share with another. Take
the time to grow closer to your love and
heal any hurt inside.
Scorpio - The Trine connects Venus in the
seventh house of relationships and coming
before the public to Jupiter in the third
house of mind and communications. This is
not a good time to stand alone either in
personal or public issues. If you want to
bond with people be sure you understand
where they are coming from and visa versa.
Sagittarius - The Trine connects Venus in
the sixth house of work, health and service
to others to Jupiter in the second house of
personal resources and possessions. An
opportunity for change is on the horizon and
horizons are expansive. You will be more
successful if you can blend your ability to
see and use the details of life. They will
help you create the foundation for a larger
picture.
Capricorn - The Trine connects Venus in
the fifth house of personal creativity and
romance to Jupiter in the first house of
projection and appearance. Romance can come
knocking at your door but you may have a
better chance of finding it if you seek it
out. This is a great time to make a fabulous
first impression so use your energy,
appearance and personality to help you get
what you want.
Aquarius - The Trine connects Venus in
the fourth house of home and personal
foundations to Jupiter in the twelfth house
of seclusion and spirituality. Beauty may be
in the eye of the beholder but did you ever
think it could lie in a thought, a touch or
a gentle action? Compassionate action is
called for and perhaps quietness can open a
heart to deeper sounds.
Pisces - The Trine connects Venus in the
third house of mind and communications to
Jupiter in the eleventh house of group
associations. The essence of your thoughts
should be distilled in a pleasing elixir so
you can affect the people you seek to move.
Once they see the wisdom of your beliefs
they will be moved.
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
This is the first
challenge to Pluto since he moved into
Capricorn. Mars is a personal force
expressed through conscious ambition, desire
and action. Pluto is an impersonal force
expressed through deep unconscious
motivation. Mars rules warfare, Pluto death
and resurrection. The opposition of these
two energies in the personality represent a
need for conscious direction and awareness
of psychological motivations and reactions
to other peoples energy. This can lead the
individual to some sense of
physical/spiritual completion and
understanding. Since Mars is the more
recognizable force I will use his energy as
a causal factor and I will start with the
sign Capricorn.
Read the interpretation
for your Sun sign or Ascendant (rising
sign).
Capricorn Horoscope -- the
opposition is ignited from the seventh house
of relationships (Mars) to the first house
of personal projection (Pluto). It is time
to understand how you affect others by the
magnetic expression of your personality. Do
you attract competition and misunderstanding
or can you fulfill your needs and express
your personality while allowing your
partners to do the same. You can deepen your
understanding of cooperation or realize it
may be time to move on. Do not challenge
authority unless you can win and be willing
to understand the desires of your partners.
Aquarius Horoscope -- the
opposition is ignited from the sixth house
of work and service (Mars) to the 12th house
of spirituality and limitation. Are you
handling the details of your life in a
systematic and organized manner or are you
being uncoordinated and spacey? The way
people react to your work habits will give
you a clue. You may gain a great insight by
breaking selfish habit patterns while
developing spiritual compassion for those
who are less fortunate. Actively control
your health by expressing your energy in a
productive manner and follow through on work
responsibilities.
Pisces Horoscope -- the opposition
is ignited from the fifth house of
creativity and romance (Mars) to the 11th
house of group associations (Pluto). You may
learn that you attract some very aggressive
people due to an undercurrent of power in
your personality. By bringing the energy of
individuals to bear on a social situation
you may be very productive and creative
making a lasting impact on outmoded
institutions. You know there are some things
that need to be changed but don't go into a
situation and blow it up. Use creativity to
bring new life to dying situations.
Aries Horoscope -- the opposition
is ignited from the fourth house of
emotional foundations (Mars) to the 10th
house of career and social position. You may
feel that there are some inner conflicts or
family responsibilities that holding you
back from your larger role in the world. Try
your best to balance these opposing energies
so that you do not to damage on either
front. To feel successful in life you must
be emotionally as well as socially
satisfied. If one area of your life takes
over from the other, you may feel that you
are at war with yourself.
Taurus Horoscope -- the opposition
is ignited from the third house of
communications and travel (Mars) to the
ninth house of abstract thought and
understanding (Pluto). This is the perfect
situation for a philosophical discussion
that will open your mind and the minds of
those around you. Ideas should not be used
as weapons although that is often the case
in this world. Remember, there have been
more wars fought due to religion or
differing beliefs than for any other cause.
Make peace and understanding the goals of
this time period.
Gemini Horoscope-- the opposition
is ignited from the second house of personal
possessions and resources (Mars) to the
eighth house of shared energies and
resources (Pluto). This is a powerful
placement for the planet Pluto for he rules
the eighth house. He will not stand idly by
while someone else misuses either their
resources or his own. Make sure there is no
manipulation or illegality in any of your
business dealings at this time. If you have
the opportunity to blend your personal
energy or sensuality with another's you may
have a powerful moving experience.
Cancer Horoscope-- the opposition
is ignited from the first house of personal
expression (Mars) to the seventh house of
relationships (Pluto). You may feel a need
to exert energy to achieve what you want in
dealing with other people, be it in business
or personal relationships. But you must be
wary, for if you abuse your power or if you
come on too strong, you may be setting
yourself up for some powerful backlash. This
is not the time to underestimate a partner.
Rather, it is the perfect time to form a
powerful union of depth and understanding.
Leo Horoscope-- the opposition is
ignited from the 12th house of spirituality
and limitation (Mars) to the sixth house of
work and service (Pluto). You may have to
question your motivation for achievement
especially in the area of work. Are you
acting out of purity of intention or are you
acting out of fear. This would be an
excellent time to experience some counseling
or training so that you could focus your
energy and the most productive manner
possible. If you can do this, you may
achieve a breakthrough in your work.
Virgo Horoscope-- the opposition
is ignited from the 11th house of group
associations (Mars) to the fifth house of
personal creativity and romance. Have you
been attracted to people who have similar
interests and who want to change the world
the same way you want to? Do you share goals
and ambitions with the people with whom you
associate personally. This can be a great
time of growth and a sense of completion if
you can find a group where you fit in on a
personal and social level. Exactly how do
you want to change the world and what energy
will you extend to do so?
Libra Horoscope-- the opposition
is ignited from the 10th house of career and
social position (Mars) to the fourth house
of family and emotional foundations. You may
feel like you have to put all of your energy
into career situations or you will lose
opportunities to succeed. However, if you
lose your inner emotional foundation, you
may also lose your sense of stability. There
needn't be a trade-off. Learn how to balance
your energy and responsibilities so that you
can give both areas of your life, career and
family, what is needed. Then you will truly
be a success.
Scorpio Horoscope-- the opposition
is ignited from the ninth house of abstract
thought and understanding (Mars) to the
third house of communications and travel
(Pluto). Many people have gone to war over
an idea or a belief. You should be very
careful not to do that at this time. If you
are trying to persuade someone to see things
your way, you must not manipulate them.
Rather, you should find a way to touch with
them on a deeper level so that they will
find a way to understand your ideas.
Remember, the pen is mightier than the
sword.
Sagittarius Horoscope-- the
opposition is ignited from the eighth house
of shared energies and resources (Mars) to
the second house of possessions and personal
resources (Pluto). Sometimes you have to
invest more than just money to get what you
really need. The key here is to understand
that there are dynamics of energies that
work between people that can be productive
or destructive. If there are disagreements
in financial or sensual areas, make sure you
slowdown and know what it is you expect to
give and what it is you expect to receive.

SPECIAL NOTE
Over the next 15 years
Pluto will transit the sign Capricorn. In
mythology, Pluto was the Roman God of the
Underworld. He is often associated with the
Greek God Hades. He was the son of Saturn.
He joined his brothers Jupiter (Zeus) and
Neptune to overthrow their father. He
represents great wealth from the underground
(gold, minerals and oil) and his nature is
to penetrate and transform. It must be noted
that he was the only God of the Greek
Parthenon that once he made a decision, even
he could not reverse it. He had a helmet of
invisibility which can give us a hint of how
he effects us - usually slowly and with
little notice. His action ferments over time
and occurs in the deepest part of the
psyche. In Astrology he represents the
penetrative and transforming nature of the
personality once the individuality has been
developed. His is soul power and soul
purpose. Capricorn is a cardinal earth sign
whose basic purpose is to approach life
earnestly, seriously and with integrity. He
needs to feel useful. This sign rules big
business, large organizations and
bureaucracies. They tend to be conservative
and powerful and want to preserve the status
quo at all costs. Capricorn is noted for
being cold, austere, ambitious and
practical. Persistence and hard work are the
motto of this sign and they must be used to
reach success in very worldly terms.
Capricorn believes in climbing the latter of
success, earning your place in the world and
using what has been earned. This transit
will see a big change in the way power is
focused in the world. In the beginning it
will seem that the big guy will surely crush
the little guy. If you think of it, when do
the rich feel very wealthy? When the poor
are very poor. And if we look at the way of
the world, the trends seem to be going it
that direction. But Pluto’s power is that of
a reformer. As I mentioned, his action is to
penetrate and transform. He penetrates to
the truth of what is happening and why. He
examines the structure and process used by
the structure and if it is not valid, it
will fall. This is so that it can be born
again with a renewed and purified purpose.
Look for big changes in large religious,
business and cultural bureaucracies. But
before they are reformed, they may exert a
great deal of suffering into the world and
into their own structure. The mythical
Phoenix capture this idea. He must be
purified in the fire of his own destruction.
The last time Pluto was in Capricorn the
United States was born ‘in order to form a
more perfect union’ and to overthrow the
tyranny and tax till they drop policy of
Mother England.
Pluto is a force that
works through the collective. In a sense we
could refer to it as Jung’s collective
unconscious. But just as he works to
transform bureaucracies his energy must be
used to transform the individual. On a
personal level, he will penetrate your being
to find the weak underbelly of your
consciousness. He will stir up the soup of
karma and bring you face to face with some
of your fears and inadequacies. If you think
you don’t have a dark side be prepared to
find out that you do. Capricorn wants us to
fit in and have a purpose, it rules one of
the houses (areas) of your chart. That is
where Pluto will effect you for good or ill
over the next 15 years. Have you made a
conscious effort at defining your role in
society? Have you worked honestly to achieve
whatever it is that you see as success? Have
you developed your spiritual understanding
on a deeper level than just going to church
on Sunday? Have you acted out of jealousy
and fear using manipulation to get what you
want? What has all of this been for anyway?
You may have to withdraw for some inner
seeking just as Persephone (Pluto’s wife)
was forced to spend 1/3 of the year (winter)
in the underworld. The area that houses
Capricorn is the area you need to examine.
You may see stress in this area of your life
until you adjust to the reality of your
situation. It is almost comical that the
astronomers have demoted Pluto. He probably
enjoys that, it allows him to act under the
radar. Know your boundaries, develop your
skills and work with discipline and purpose
on your goals. Do not allow negative
influences to overwhelm you for they are
merely the perversions of the world. Learn
Natural Law and accept the responsibilities
that come your way. Pluto can represent
wealth. The question become what would make
you feel wealthy? Home, family, money and
things of the world or the value you see in
yourself? One person can make a difference
but they must be willing to lead by example.
I will guarantee this, life will not be the
same after this transit.
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.
Capricorn Sun sign or Ascendant --
the Trine occurs from your first house of
personal expression (Jupiter) and the ninth
house of expanded awareness (Saturn). Do not
allow your need to be right all the time to
hold you back from experimentation. If you
have prepared your mind well and understand
the workings of society, you can take
positive steps to express yourself with more
enthusiasm. If you believe in what you are
expressing, you will be able to sell your
ideas and expand your influence.
Aquarius Sun sign or Ascendant --
the Trine occurs from the 12th house of
personal limitation and spiritual integrity
(Jupiter) and the eighth house of shared
resources (Saturn). You have an enormous
capacity for self discipline at this time
that can be used to develop a practical
approach to partnerships and business. Your
hard work, that you have done for many
years, may pay out in financial rewards
allowing you to acquire the things you value
most. Don't gamble unless you know it's a
sure thing.
Pisces Sun sign or Ascendant --
the Trine occurs from the 11th house of
group associations and personal hopes
(Jupiter) and the seventh house of
relationships, coming before the public and
legal issues (Saturn). This is an important
time few to know where you stand in your
relationships both personal and
professional. Have the people who are
closest to you helped to achieve the things
you want to achieve or have they held your
back. If they have held you back, it may be
time to find some new people to associate
with. Make sure you're using your abilities
to help others not just yourself.
Aries Sun sign or Ascendant -- the
Trine occurs from the 10th house of career
or social position (Jupiter) and the sixth
house of work, service and health. You must
be extremely efficient in any work
activities and you must be willing to adjust
to new conditions. If you are frustrated or
having a difficult time, you may have to
change what you are doing. But if you are
doing the right thing for your being this
can be a time of promotion and reward. Work
hard but work smart and make needed changes.
Taurus Sun sign or Ascendant --
the Trine occurs from the ninth house of
expanded awareness and higher aspirations
(Jupiter) and the fifth house of personal
creativity, romance and offspring (Saturn).
Saturn always has a practical reason for
doing anything. In this case you must bring
discipline to your creative activities and
make wise decisions concerning romance or
the needs of children. You may also find
that the greatest pleasures available to you
come from the realm of mind. Expand your
horizons through education, travel and
ambition.
Gemini Sun sign or Ascendant --
the Trine occurs from the eighth house of
group resources and business prosperity
(Jupiter) and the fourth house of home,
family, tradition and emotional foundations
(Saturn). You may feel a natural enthusiasm
for growth and prosperity by joining
together with like-minded individuals to
build a new future. This is all well and
good if you remember that to have a positive
future you must have a substantial
foundation to stand on. Do not take your
home or family for granted and remember to
nurture not only the people you love but
also your inner self.
Cancer Sun sign or Ascendant --
the Trine occurs from the seventh house of
relationships, coming before the public and
legal issues (Jupiter) and the third house
of mental analysis and communication
(Saturn). This is a time to be very careful
concerning the way you think about life and
understanding how your surroundings have
formed your thoughts. It's okay to be
serious when you have to be but if you're
going to have a good relationship, you most
also develop optimism and kindness. When you
reach out into the world to touch others, do
so with kindness, love and your heart.
Leo Sun sign or Ascendant -- the
Trine occurs from the sixth house of work,
service and health (Jupiter) and the second
house of personal resources, material
possessions and investments (Saturn). If you
are going to begin a work project, you must
be willing to discipline yourself and focus
on what needs to be done. If you're going to
play around, forget it. This is a time for
opportunity and a time for change. But you
must have a serious purpose or reason why
you are going to expend the energy that will
be needed for success. Remember time is
money.
Virgo Sun sign or Ascendant -- the
Trine occurs from the fifth house of
personal creativity, romance and offspring
(Jupiter) and the first house of personal
expression and appearance (Saturn). There is
no question that you are conservative and
maybe even too picky for your own good. This
would be a good time to blend your
conservative and limited expression with a
little bit more enthusiasm, color and flair.
The world is not black-and-white. There are
many colors and many different types of
expression that can lift you up and allow
you to stand out in a crowd. And you can do
all this on your road to success.
Libra Sun sign or Ascendant -- the
Trine occurs from the fourth house of home,
family, tradition and emotional foundations
(Jupiter) and the 12th house of personal
limitation and spiritual integrity (Saturn).
This is an extremely important time for you
to go inside of yourself and work on the
value of your soul in relation to the power
of your emotions. If there are personal
fears that have held you back, it is time to
confront them, so you can heal them and
leave them behind. You may appear calm on
the surface, but there is a great depth in
your being and sensitivity to your emotions
that needs to be used in a positive fashion.
Scorpio Sun sign or Ascendant --
the Trine occurs from the third house of
mental analysis and communication (Jupiter)
and the 11th house of group associations and
personal wishes (Saturn). You instinctively
know that it takes organization and
discipline to properly use power. Now is the
time to use the strength of your mind to
accomplish needed tasks. You may be able to
move people and organizations into a much
more productive path. Just remember that you
may need to be gentle when you are
communicating to some of the people around
you. A heavy hand is not needed.
Sagittarius Sun sign or Ascendant
-- the Trine occurs from the second house of
personal resources, material possessions and
investments (Jupiter) and the 10th house of
career and social position. This is an
excellent time to make your career pay off
so that you may be able to afford the things
that you value. Just remember this, there
may be more need for resources in the future
so don't spend unwisely in the present. You
do have discipline, you do have insight and
you do have intuition. Use these talents to
take you to a more successful place in the
future.
