April Rewinds: Astro Report

Lots of retrogrades (and introspection) affecting us this month, giving us the chance to review our growth since the start of the year. We are slowing down, making sure we have solid foundations.

April 5th at 10:06pm (pacific): Saturn Retrograde in Sagittarius.
April 9th at 4:14pm: Mercury Retrograde at 4° Taurus.
April 10th at 11:08pm: Full Moon at 21° Libra.
April 15th at 3:18am: Venus (currently R) goes Direct in Pisces – exalted!
…and Jupiter Retrograde in Libra until June 8th!

And TODAY, Sunday, retrograde Venus in Pisces is squaring retrograde Saturn in Sag at exactly 27°.

Partnerships are being seriously reevaluated this week. Relationships regarding love and business are tested to see if they can withstand the pressures of long term commitment. Saturn doesn’t fool around. Are you willing to do the hard work necessary to keep your pledge to another person? If yes, the relationship has a strong center and will probably be a lasting one. But if they are castles built of sand, they will diminish.

This is an important time to take inventory of what’s working and what’s not working, and to gauge the commitment level of each person. This tension will be accented by the Full Moon in Libra tomorrow, and Venus’s’ stationing at the end of the week.
There are four planets retrograding together this week. That’s pretty amazing! I can’t remember the last time this happened. In general, all of us need to:

1. Re-evaluate things you’re committed to.
2. Re-examine your VALUES and adjust if necessary. What’s most important?
3. Start with getting grounded; take each day as it comes.
4. Don’t expand into future worries – but deal with what’s in front of you right now.
5. Be in the present.

The great RE-VALUE is here.

Autumnal Equinox: horoscopes

Fall Equinox at 7:21am, Sun into Libra.
MERCURY DIRECT at 10:31pm last night, 9/21.
Libra: Love, Beauty, Harmony, Socializing, Parties, Negotiation, Friendship, Teamwork.

Welcome to Fall! The Autumnal Equinox marks the midpoint between Summer and Winter. Today we have equal day and equal night. Libra is about balance, harmony, justice, and partnerships of ALL kinds.

Today is referred to as the festival of Mabon. This is the second harvest festival of the year, the first being Lammas (August 1st) and the third being Halloween (October 31st). Whatever was started in March this year is now coming to fruition. It's harvest season, where we see the result of our labors. We reap what we have sown. It's the time to take stock of where you are in your life right now - what you've brought forth and what you still want to manifest.

Today we feel the turn of the wheel of the year. Standing in the middle of equal daylight to equal nighttime, we look at BALANCE. Are we out of balance in our lives? Are we taking care of ourselves? Are we working hard AND making time for our dreams and having fun too?

Mabon also relates to mid life; to our 40's and 50's when we have accomplished some things, but also might harbor regrets. The Equinox is a time to give yourself credit for all the wonderful things you've created and the positive difference you've made in the world. Honor your courage! And how much smarter you are now than when you were young.

This holiday was pivotal in ancient times, since a good final harvest was crucial to surviving the winter months ahead.  Relationships are reassessed so we can decide who is best to take into the harsh winter with us. If someone is draining your energy, now might be the time to let go.

Current Astrology:

     The Sun, Jupiter, and Venus are now in Libra, which is BIG energy. The Sun and Jupiter are the largest bodies in our system and radiate expanding, positive light. Jupiter will be in Libra for the next couple of years, giving new insights into the themes of relationships, teamwork, creativity, beauty and luxury.

Jupiter rules our beliefs, faith and truth. Now that Jupiter is in Libra, we will redefine our beliefs about partnerships. There will be a renewed interest to connect, make peace, and find balance. Meanwhile, Venus (ruler of Libra) is moving into Scorpio tomorrow giving a lot of intensity to the current themes in our lives. Avoid socially awkward situations and causing drama.

The horoscopes below take the Sun into account, as well as the ruler of your sign. Be sure to read your Sun sign AND Rising sign. The Rising Sign is the most accurate reflection of your chart when reading most horoscopes. You can calculate your Rising sign here.


Aries:  The Ram
     Partnerships of all kinds will be significant in your life over the next month (and year, with Jupiter's influence). The Sun, Jupiter, and Venus are in your House of Partnerships, bringing a new shift in relationships, faith, healing, expansion and balance.

Taurus:  The Bull

    Your ruler, Venus, is about to enter Scorpio, the sign of relationships and your polarity. Tomorrow begins a foreshadowing of the lessons this season will have for you. They aren't bad or good, just themes for you to work on. You've had some tests in your House of Work, Health and Habits over the last year, but with the entrance of the Sun and Jupiter into this area, you should be able to gain some new traction in daily life matters.

Gemini:  The Twins

     The Sun is in Libra, putting focus on your Romantic and Creative Life. Jupiter is there for the next year giving you huge opportunities to attract romance! Be sure and get out and socialize a lot. Good luck also comes in the form of creative partnerships. Your ruler, Mercury just went Direct last night too, so you are in forward motion again.

Cancer:  The Crab

     Cancerians love their home environments, so you will be thrilled to know that the skies are sending you ample opportunities for home improvement and social gatherings.

The next year also supports you healing your ties with your family of origin, and increasing your self knowledge and faith. It's a time of digging into your roots and healing your soul.

Leo:  The Lion

    The Sun and Jupiter are shining in your House of Learning and Communication this month. You will love this because your self expression will get a huge boost. Speaking, creativity, visibility in your community will all be expanded for the next two years. Meanwhile Saturn brings maturity to how you communicate with important relationships and your neighborhood pals:)

Virgo:  The Virgin

   Your ruler, Mercury, is giving you a last birthday present by turning Direct in your sign last night, AND at an auspicious degree! New, positive, forward motion has begun. Meanwhile the Sun and Jupiter are in Libra, and the focus shifts to your financial world. For the next year ask yourself, what do you value most? And what is the truth about what you value?

Libra:  The Scales

     It's birthday season! The Sun and Jupiter have entered Libra and the spotlight is on YOU! It's the rebirth of your identity for the next solar year. Who are you now? It's time to set goals for where you'd like to be this time next year. Your ruler, Venus, is moving into Scorpio tomorrow giving some intensity to your relationships.

Scorpio:  The Scorpion

     All the action is in your 12th House of spiritual strength, solitude, artistry, universal connection and the soul. It's the place you retreat to for healing, safety and security. The inner planets will be visiting you there over the next month to assist you in clearing cobwebs and brightening up the place. You ruler, Mars is traveling with Saturn through Sagittarius, bringing focus to your TRUTH and faith. 

Sagittarius:  The Archer

     Had some romance lately? Uranus (sudden events) and Jupiter (good fortune) are hosting a party in your House of Romance right now. Jupiter enlarges your social circle and Uranus brings unusual and revolutionary people into your love life and creative work! Jupiter is also your ruler, so wherever he travels brings focus. The theme of your life for the next year is a reality check with your personal truth, and an expansion of your friendships and social network.

Capricorn:  The Goat

     Saturn, your ruler, is still moving through Sagittarius in your House of Spiritual Connection. What's the reality of your ambitions, and are you including your spiritual life in your plans? Do they still suit you and do you need a change? Saturn isn't big on changes, but DOES support your climb up the steep mountain to reach your goal. Think about what that goal is and shift it if necessary. Remember you have Pluto in your sign right now, and that's a VERY powerful ally. He brings up toxic energy to be purged and healed. Also, you will see good luck regarding career and public image over the next two years.

Aquarius:  The Water Bearer

     The Sun and Jupiter are traversing your House of Life Perspective right now. The next two years is a time of education, training and travel. The transit of Jupiter in Libra expands your mind, faith, self knowledge and personal philosophy. Your ruler, Uranus, is still in Aries which lights a fire under you, and brings confidence, optimism and ambition to your peaceful and humanitarian perspectives.

Pisces:  The Fishes

     All the action is in your 8th house for the next year! This area of your chart represents Other People's Money - i.e. banks, loans, real estate, rentals and credit. Don't overspend. Kinda boring stuff for artistic Pisces, but with the Sun and Jupiter there it's a great time to negotiate with authority and solidify your relationships. You can attract helpful people to your life right now. This house also relates to SEX, so it could be a hot and steamy year for you!

Astrology of September: Virgo

Sun into Virgo at 3:37am Sunday, August 23rd, 2015.
The Sun is making it’s annual conjunction with Jupiter over the next few days, giving us a highly auspicious week! If you need some acknowledgement at work, a raise or even a new job – now is the time to ask for it. The Sun symbolizes authority, and Jupiter the jovial King, so the two of them in harmony can bring huge fortune and good luck to any activities this week. These two giants join Mercury and Lilith in Virgo – allowing clarity and focus in our thinking and aspirations.

And it’s just the beginning!

Jupiter entered Virgo a couple of weeks ago, sparking off a year of practical steps to achievement. If you have goals in mind, Virgo shows you the way to manifest them into reality. This makes Virgo one of the most powerful signs. On the challenging side, Virgo symbolizes doing our chores. Ugh. Who wants to do laundry, work out or clean the house? But we gain traction in our lives when we are organized and have our s*** together. That’s the truth of it. Basically, Virgo symbolizes “cleaning up the house” after the giant Leo party in July/August.

Interesting that the Sun moves into Virgo around August 21st every year; when people are returning from trips and kids are going back to school. Time to get back to work. Virgo is an earth sign ruled by Mercury, which encourages our organizational abilities (or the need to hire a friend who has them). Virgo brings crisp perspective, sharp decisiveness and detailed action. What does the foundation of your life look like? Do you need a health makeover? The devil is absolutely in the details and your daily habits. Show up for your schedule and do your best each and every day!

The Sun’s movement into Virgo means we have officially entered the harvest season. Burn gold and green candles for wealth.

 From Cosmic Intelligence Agency:

Jupiter in Virgo – August 11th 2015 – Sept 2016
Practice what you preach !

Jupiter planet of expansion, growth, truth and knowing enters the industrious, service oriented and highly mentally sensitive and aware sign of Virgo. Put them together and what do we get? A period ahead that indicates a great opening and focus on how to make things work best, most efficiently and effectively, as our minds are expanded to to pay attention to details, to cross our t’s and dot our i’s, a time in life to make the most of getting organised, sort information and do our research!. How boring that may sound for Jupiter, yet if you’ve been searching for answers, here you shall find. If you’ve been missing a piece of the puzzle, now you may complete the picture! If you’ve been working hard, now comes your reward, for it is harvest time!  Time to harvest all that has come before, but mostly  time to test your theories, time to prove to yourself  what you believe in as we get to look at life through a microscope or is that a telescope?

After the pompousness of Leo,  having blown ourselves up with confidence and knowing  fully absorbed with the inner truth we now carry, Jupiter’s transit through Virgo will  help one to embed this knowing, this inner confidence into our daily grind, into our daily routine, into a way we can see it work and put it into practice. Virgo likes to find evidence, Virgo is practical, Virgo is prudent and doesn’t like to waste time on frivolities. Virgo cleans and fixes the mess left by Leo, Virgo tends  and mends to the bits that will keep things working well, for longer  and more efficiently. Jupiter is the judge, Jupiter is symbolic of our living truth. Jupiter now expands the Virgoan tasks and calls us back to the drawing board where need be. Jupiter in Virgo becomes like our own personal Judge Judy, calling us out where we might be slipping off the rails, helping us get  back on the track we know we need to be on. A damn good sign for getting things done on the collective front evn if it does sound like a pain personally.

It’s a bit like, after moving out of Cancer, home and security, we take the Leo journey to become that individual that we and others love,  away from family ties and strings. In Virgo in order to continue to be the person that we love to be, we need to continue to preserve ourselves, tend to the pruning and the care, the self preservation,  eat well and look after ourselves. We are our own responsibility, we mature with Virgo and leave that foolish young Leo behind, it’s best to find our true colours and then remain and be at our best.  Or else we come to Virgo , to scrutinise the hell out of ourselves , to get it right,  to fix it where we need to. Benevolent Jupiter’s gift is now to shine a light on the parts of life and ourselves that need a touch up, a bit of attention, some extra care and scrutiny. And as we know with Jupiter only the truth will hold, total honesty is key to reaping the benefits of this transit. Virgo does represent a harvest and if you do the work, put in the hours, pay attention to growing the best crop, the details, the harvest can be big and rewards come with genuine intentions set.

So put into practice what you preach, what you believe in and what you want to uphold, as Jupiter now accentuates all things Virgo~!

1. Virgo represents efficiency, order and cleanliness so that one maintains containment and focus.
2. Virgo symbolises perfection and doing things to the best of one’s abilities.
3. Virgo picks apart, analyses and critiques in order to comprehend how all parts are connected and to discern what is useful from what is not.
4. Virgo is concerned with the sacredness of time, daily routine, and taking regular care of fitness and diet for physical and mental wellbeing.
5. Virgo is the final sign within the personal sector of the zodiac and therefore prepares the personal, ‘virginal’ state of self for the experience of relationship.
6. Virgo aims to centre and ground the self so that one’s sense of self is not lost when relating beyond the self.
7. Virgo’s opposite sign, Pisces, looks at the whole picture whereas Virgo looks at everything frame by frame.

 

Jupiter and Venus in Leo

If you look into a clear, Western sky tomorrow at sundown, you will see two lovely stars sitting close to each other in the twilight. They are Jupiter and Venus, and are forming a perfect conjunction in Leo right now.  Venus (Love) has been chasing Jupiter (Fortune) for weeks and has finally caught up with the giant King planet. By tomorrow they appear as one star, depending on your location.

This is SO auspicious for love, art, prosperity and general well being. Venus and Jupiter are two of the "positive" planets or "benefics". They bring ease, comfort and abundance wherever they transit a person's chart. The fact that they are forming "one star" is a significant blending of these two positive forces. The conjunction occurring in the sign of Leo fuels the positive, heart centered vibe. This is an epic event and will continue for the next few months.

Leo is ruled by the Sun (another benefic) and awakens the heart. It enhances romance, art, self expression, money, leadership and healing. Leo shines. Business, romance, creativity and performance are highlighted. Jupiter and Venus are also forming a trine or positive angle to Uranus in Aries, which can bring surprises and sudden events. Uranus is the "genius eccentric" and inspires ground breaking creativity. This aspect further expands the love/philosophy vibe from Venus and Jupiter. Whatever you start right now will increase.

From the Cosmic Intelligence Agency:
"During this Jupiter 20° Leo and Uranus 20° Aries trine, Mercury 9° Gemini 9° square Neptune 9 ° Pisces, and Mars at 29° Gemini makes an awkward aspect to Saturn at 28° Scorpio the inconjunct 150°. The trick is always to layer transits by their effect in your natal chart, which ones are hitting off natal degrees and angles.

Jupiter and Uranus - ignite the area of change and expansion
Mercury and Neptune - add a sense of confusion, faith and believing in outcomes is required, and a re-imagining
Mars and Saturn - It's like the brakes are on, but they are on for a reason, so don't fly off too fast. Some things are just not in place yet.

According to Copernicus in "De revolutionibus orbis", Hermes Trismegistus called the sun a visible god - the alchemists equated the sun with gold, the purest of metals, which represented the perfection of all matter, material and spiritual. The sun has been an important object of worship throughout the ages and in various cultures. We will be offering you images based on "Signs & Symbols of the Sun" by Elizabeth S. Helfman, New York: The Seabury Press, 1974, a book which presents images of the sun from the Sumerians and the Egyptians to the Indians and Inuit.

Astrologers believe that the sun passes through different constellations of stars every thirty days in the year. The twelve constellations have signs known as signs of the zodiac. Astrologers say that a person’s life is influenced by the sign under which he or she was born. The sign Leo, the lion, in the last third of July and the first two thirds of August, is governed by the sun itself. Leo is a fiery sign; orange is its color, and the metal associated with it is gold. Just so, the alchemists associated gold with the sun. To the astrologers the sun is a symbol of power and good fortune."

Tonight's Blood Moon Eclipse

Tonight at 11:30pm Pacific the skies will present a dramatic event - a Full Red Moon sailing overhead. It should be visible just about everywhere too. This is the first of four eclipses occurring over the next year - all in the signs of Libra and Aries. They are in accordance with the nodes of the Moon which are stimulating our relations with others and diminishing our need "to go it alone".

AND Mars will also be closest to the Earth tonight! In fact it should appear as a bright red star next to the Moon. This is the closest Mars has been to the Earth since January 2008 and will be at it's brightest. Personally, I'm a Scorpio and I dig the color red, so I'm looking forward to this tonight.

The Full Moon tonight occurs in the sign of Libra which symbolizes relationships and partnerships of all kinds - professional and personal. If there is some unresolved issue or tension that needs to be expressed, expect it to come up this week. It's a wonderful time to clear the air. But with Mars there, watch out for aggression and anger. The key to this Full Moon is DIPLOMACY and restoring BALANCE - key traits of the sign Libra. There's a feeling of fate and inspiration with relationships this month.

Unleash your assertive Martian drive on making your life better and helping others. Mars has strong convictions and wants things to happen NOW, while Libra inspires us to work together for the greater good of all.

And then there's the other thing - the Grand Cross on April 22 which really stirs the pot. The cross is formed by Pluto's opposition to Jupiter and Uranus's opposition to Mars. These are huge heavyweights in the sky which will ignite the events and timing in your life to enhance your evolution. You can come quietly or sit in resistance but change is happening either way. Best to embrace it! If you need a reading or healing I'm here :)

Pluto: Evolutionary change, catalyst in Capricorn: Hard work, ambition, (and the wealthy)
opposing...
Jupiter: Expansion, Philanthropy, Optimism in Cancer: Fertility, Nurturing, Home

Uranus: Sudden Change, Invention, eccentricity in Aries: Spontaneity, Drive, Egoism
opposing...
Mars: DRIVE, aggression, war, anger, courage in Libra: relationships, balance, harmony

...what a mess

It will be interesting how this effects each of us individually. Here's something I wrote about eclipses from 2011:

When the World falls under the influence of an eclipse, things are out of the ordinary. It's an uncommon time, and we have rare and insightful experiences. It's like walking around your darkened bedroom with a black light - things show up differently, and we see things in a way we don't normally see them. Some things are brighter and easier to see and some things fall into shadow.

Quite simply, I feel it is a time when we touch the foundations of why we are here on this planet. Each of us gains some new insight or information into the life we are currently leading. This information can come through anything - our family, friends, a situation at work, or a bolt of lightning straight from the heavens into our consciousness. When it's an eclipse, I always pay close attention to what happens that day, because there will be something synchronistic about it.

The Lion - Summer horoscopes 2010

Yay it's SUMMER and time for Leo the Lion!

Well... that's IF you're outside of San Francisco. Our summer doesn't come for a couple of months and it's been FREEZING here!

In the world of astrology this is already an eventful season. The Sun is in Leo  and the Moon full in Aquarius yesterday. We had two eclipses last month alongside a Grand Cross; and there's the entrance of Uranus into Aries and Saturn into Libra! The planet Uranus (sudden events, originality and revolution) has been in Pisces for the last 7 years. The shift from dreamy, imaginative Pisces to the fiery, spontaneous sign of Aries is a MAJOR shift in our lives and culture. Jupiter (good fortune, expansion) followed Uranus into Aries last month assuring a smooth passage for us all.

Meanwhile Saturn (maturity, time, dedication) has been in Virgo for the past 2 years, and as of last Wednesday has entered Libra. There's a new seriousness to relationships. Commitment and reliability are on everyone's radar for the next 2 years. There are HUGE forces at play here that will affect all of us, and these giant shifts are ushering us towards the grandest event of all - the line up of all the planets in December 2012!

The horoscopes below take the Sun into account, as well as the ruler of your sign and these huge Summer 2010 alignments. Be sure to read your Sun sign AND Rising sign! If you don't know your rising sign you can figure it out here.


Aries:  The Ram

     The sun is in Leo, putting focus on your Relationship and Creative Life. Mercury is already there, highlighting communications with your partner. Your ruler, Mars, is currently in Virgo which is challenging for Aries. You want to charge ahead and be spontaneous, but Mars in Virgo has you double checking the details on Everything!! Soon Mars will be moving out of your Virgo/Work/Health area (on July 29th) and into your house of Partnership. It's a hot sexy Summer for you Aries!

     As for the Revolution on your doorstep... Uranus (sudden, transformative and shocking events) is retrograding through your sign for the next month causing you to retool some of your wild ideas. It's a great time to clarify your vision and the practical steps to manifesting it.

Taurus:  The Bull

     You will have lots of "me" time around your house over the next month (Sun in Leo), along with some pleasant experiences with Love and Creativity (Venus in your 5th House). You could combine the whole thing and get creative with your lover in your house. Other than the obvious, how about painting the place? Or getting new curtains, or making some romantic dinners? This month is about practicing expressing yourself in a safe place.
     As for the Grand Cross and the action with Aries - this is all happening in your 12th House (Karma, Self Undoing and Things that are Hidden). It's a great placement because Uranus shakes things up and brings them into the light to be healed. The invisible limits you've placed on yourself will finally be burned away.

Gemini:  The Twins

     My darling Geminis! The Sun will be shining in your House of Learning and Communication this month. These are two things Gemini's excel at, so you are in your element. Mercury, your ruler, is currently gliding through this House preparing the way for the Sun. Time to clear the air and set boundaries with people! Mars in Virgo creates an opportunity to do some psychological healing on yourself - to clear the weeds from the ground of your being.

     The Uranian shift into Aries highlights your social life for the next several years! You will be hanging around the fringes of society with very original and empowered people. Saturn in Libra brings a new seriousness to your love relationships and creative projects. The people you partner with need to "get real" or you will seek out something else.

Cancer:  The Crab

     I hope you had a Great birthday!! The Sun has left your sign for Leo, and the focus shifts to your financial world. Ask yourself, what do you value most? What would you like to increase in your life? What would make you feel more secure? With Mercury leading the way, communications with important relationships are already getting attention.

     The shift of Uranus into Aries will affect your life more visibly then others, because it falls in your 10th House of Career and Ambition. Odd and unique career opportunities will be coming at you from far left field for the next several years! Saturn in Libra brings a serious focus to the people in your living situation and family (particularly mom). How these relationships affect you psychologically will bring deep opportunities to heal yourself.

Leo:  The Lion

     It's birthday season! The Sun has entered Leo and the spotlight is on YOU! Which is the way it should be. You are experiencing the rebirth of your identity for the next solar year. Who are you now? How have you grown over the past year? It's time to set goals for where you'd like to be this time next year. Meanwhile Mars is careening through Virgo, inspiring you to reassess your financial life. As of July 29 the energy will be moving into your communications with others.
     The movement of Uranus into Aries brings sudden changes to your 9th House of Mind Expansion. You will take wild adventures to faraway places, or college courses with unique subject matter. Meanwhile Saturn brings maturity to how you communicate with important relationships and neighborhood pals:)

Virgo:  The Virgin

     Mars has been visiting your sign for the past several weeks and I bet you've gotten A LOT accomplished! Good for you. Mars will be joining Saturn in Libra on July 29th giving new energy and focus to your financial life. The Leo Sun will illuminate and guide you down the back roads of your hidden potentials, preparing you for your birthday in late August/September. Pay attention to the fertile ground of visions and ideas that float through your mind. They will lead you in the best direction for the year ahead.

     One thing to notice is Mercury's entrance into your sign tomorrow - Tuesday, July 27th. It's going to feel GREAT! Capitalize on this energy but keep in mind that Mercury is also going RETROGRADE in Virgo on August 20th. Your plans might be delayed or held up in some way temporarily, but will come to fruition if you're patient.

Libra:  The Scales

     If times have been a little rough lately don't despair; Saturn entered your sign last Wednesday bringing issues of reality, maturity and inhibitions. It's a contracting and sobering influence, which will be with you for the next two years. It will completely alter the structure of your life for the better. You will come out the other side a much stronger and focused person.

     There's a slew of other planets affecting you as well. Mars is entering Libra this week on Thursday, bringing force to your changing issues of identity. Venus (Love) will be there soon followed by Mercury (The Mind) and the Sun (Personality) around your birthday. What's working in your life and what would you like to change? Where are you out of balance? Meanwhile Uranus (the unusual) and Jupiter (Fortune) are highlighting your relationships, bringing oddballs and gurus into your life.

Scorpio:  The Scorpion

     You are experiencing a huge wake up call these days. All the action is in your 12th House of spiritual strength, isolation, addiction, artistry, universal connection and the soul. It's the place you retreat to for healing and to feel safe and secure. The inner planets will be visiting you there over the next couple of months to assist you in clearing cobwebs and brightening up the place. Mars is first... it's your ruler and is entering Libra (your 12th House) Thursday, July 29th. Then Venus, Mercury and the Sun!
     On the other side of your chart Uranus and Jupiter are shaking things up and sending blessings to your Work/Health/Pets arena. They will be retrograding back into your 5th House of Romance however in early August/September, so be prepared to rewind some of what happened in your love life last New Year. Your head will be clear though, so you'll be ready for it.

Sagittarius:  The Archer

     Had some romance lately? Uranus (sudden events) and Jupiter (good fortune) are hosting a really fun party in your House of Romance right now. Jupiter will move on eventually, but Uranus will be there for the next seven years - bringing unusual and revolutionary people into your love life and creative work! Uranus and Jupiter will take a brief break starting in August, but will reenter your House of Love early next year. So 2011 should be great for you. It's a powerful omen for finding true love. Jupiter is also your ruler, so wherever he travels holds a lot of significance in your life.
     The other big event is Saturn's entrance into Libra, your House of Friendships. For the next couple of years your closest relationships will undergo some reality testing. You will learn who you can truly count on. This energy also applies to people you know in your community and work life.

Capricorn:  The Goat

     Saturn, your ruler has just entered Libra - your House of Career. It's the most public area of your chart and will undergo a huge structural change over the next two years. Issues with authority often surface with this transit. What's the reality of your ambitions? Do they still suit you? Do you need to make a change or get more training? Saturn isn't big on changes, but DOES support your climb up the steep mountain to reach your goal. Think about what that goal is and shift it if necessary.
     Uranus and Jupiter have been traveling through the Home area of your chart, allowing positive and sudden changes in your living situation. Uranus will be here for the next seven years bringing all sorts of odd characters into your home and community. Just be open to it and learn from them, but set boundaries if needed. Remember you have Pluto in your sign right now, and that's a VERY powerful ally.

Aquarius:  The Water Bearer

     There was Full Moon last night in Aquarius - it's the brightest moon of the year! The Full Moon in your sign shines the spotlight directly on you and your relationships. Since Aquarius and Leo are fixed signs, I hope you didn't encounter any stubbornness with people in your life. With "fixed" signs people often hold tightly to what they want or believe and will not budge. This was also influenced by a stand off this morning between two heavyweights - Saturn and Uranus. This opposition affected your Communications (3rd house) and Beliefs (9th house). It's best to be diplomatic for the next couple of days until these influences pass over.
     Your ruler, Uranus, has gone through an extraordinary transition last month - leaving Pisces for Aries. This shift will light a fire under you, and bring a huge amount of confidence, optimism and ambition to your usually peaceful and humanitarian perspectives. On the other side of the sky, Saturn will throw a sobering influence over your relationships involving Self Discovery and Travel.

Pisces:  The Fishes

     Big changes are on the horizon for Pisces. What I'm trying to say...gently... is that Uranus (sudden events, highs and lows, erratic changes, instability) has entered your house of Money. It's gonna be okay though. It's also the planet of original ideas, invention and risk taking. Try to focus on maximizing your gains and minimizing the thrill seeking, and you should be fine. Keep those Piscean flipper feet on the ground as much as you can.

     Some good news is that Venus is dancing through your house of Partnerships, so I'm sure you're enjoying quality time with your partner. Or if not attached, you've been getting a lot of attention from the right people! Saturn has moved into your 8th house for the next two years, so keep a good eye on your relationships involving other people's money, shared resources and SEX.
