Astrology by Mary MacLean

Greetings, fellow stargazers…

Loosen up friends.  Last month’s barrage of crushing situations is giving rise to the “I need a vacation syndrome”.  I feel that this little old Italian mama has been beaten to a pulp by a meatball.  I survived. How did you do?  I have many problems to solve because of last month and there are new situations that need prioritizing.  I’m sure it is the same with you.  This month the Sun is in Libra and that’s my ascendant.  This is always my favorite time of the year.  Check to see what house your Libra rules as it will be an even ride, for a change.  The Sun on my ascendant and moving thru the first house tells me that I will be more emotionally stable this month (thank God) and getting a lot of attention.  Venus enters Scorpio and love and money start to get a tad bit intense and secretive.  Mercury will be going direct on the 15^th setting the

stage for a revised Mercury transit. It goes all the way back to September 3, 2008 to renew decisions.  Uranus is still retrograde all month at 19 degrees of Pisces urging you to see if you have any planets at 19 degrees in mutable (Sag, Gemini, Virgo).  If so, hang on to your socks; the unexpected is going to rock your world.  As with any New Moon, some situations arise that will need your attention.  Wherever Libra is in your chart will give you the area to focus on for answers.

This forecast should be read by your rising sign. It will be more meaningful for you.  

ARIES-(March 21-April 19)

This Libra New Moon takes place in your 7^th house of partnerships and dealing 

with the public.  This encompasses business and/or personal partnerships.  This will form a harmonious aspect if you have planets in Aquarius and Gemini.  This New Moon is in opposition to your Sun and you may feel a bit challenged by partnerships.  Mercury is still retrograde in your 7^th house of partnerships until the 15^th of October and all screw ups should be on their way to being ironed out.   You are now in the outcome phase of your Saturn cycle and from the 21^st of

TAURUS-(April 20-May 20)

This Libra New Moon takes place in your 6^th house of everyday work and health.  The challenge you will encounter will evolve from one of these areas or both.  Venus just entered your 7^th house adding a bit of joyous intensity to your partnerships.  Jupiter is adding expansion to your 9^th house of foreign affairs and travel and still trining your Saturn in the 5^th of love affairs and creativity.  Mercury retrograde in your 6^th house reviews the issues of this last month and makes adjustments.  Mercury goes direct on October 15^th, 2008. 

GEMINI-(May 21-June 20)

This Libra New Moon takes place in your 5^th house of creativity, love affairs, children and investments.  Gemini is the

house of the twins; therefore, you should be able to handle two or three challenges that arrive on the scene.  This New Moon will offer opportunity to you personally since it trines Gemini assuring you of some measure of success.  You are probably working hard and if Saturn is squaring your Sun, recognition is non-existent.  This is a period of change for you so observe your opportunities and recognize your foibles.  Change is in the air and you can feel it.

CANCER-(June 21-July 22) 

This Libra New Moon takes place in your 4^th house of home and core issues.  

Personal challenges that involve your home or family matters seem to come up for attention.  You are drawn to solve any 4^th house matter quickly and emphatically as harmony at your core is not negotiable.  This may be dealing with the delays that surround home issues.  Communications may not be what you desire, but information will improve by October 15^th

when Mercury goes direct.

LEO-(July 23-August 22)

This Libra New Moon takes place in your 3^rd house of communications and community, brothers and sisters.  Take a

minute to realize that Mercury is retrograde in Libra and Mercury may be the direct result of your current challenge.  This challenge may symbolize your investment in home and community.  Venus entering Scorpio will definitely add some spice to your home life.  There are contradictions in your life that leave you feeling quite uneasy.  This is momentary.  Seek your answers in your Heart Charkha and peace will follow.  Neptune in your 7^th house bestows permanent rose- colored

glasses for you to see through. 

VIRGO-(August 23-September 22)

This Libra New Moon takes place in your 2^nd house of love, finance and values. 

 This is all about strengthening your financial outlook.  This looks like a time to fashion a budget and try to stick to it.  Your attitude about money needs to be adjusted to accommodate recent financial directions.  Mercury retrograde developed in this 2^nd house ushering in delays where finances are concerned. 

Maybe it’s time to evaluate what is meaningful and correct for you at this time in your life.  Oct.15, 2008 will bring in answers and new beginnings in terms of love, money and values.

LIBRA-(September 23-October 22)

This Libra New Moon takes place in your 1^st house of personality and how you 

appear to the outside world.  There will be challenges that appear that make you use your innate talents to move forward.  The accent will be on you, your accomplishments and personality.   This is a great time for promotion and seeking new avenues to perform these tasks.  This is usually a time when the spotlight is on you and who you really are appears and blossoms.  Saturn still transiting your 12^th house of the past and preparation allows you to dump emotional baggage before Saturn reaches the ascendant.  Mercury retrograde in your 1^st house delays some personal choices in order to make sure

this is the direction you want to go.

SCORPIO-(October 24-November 22)

This Libra New Moon takes place in your 12^th house of the past, preparation and  

institutions.  You may be examining the past and your own feelings. This is a time when you are looking forward to moving ahead but everything seems in slow motion.  You may hear from people from the past or have visitors arriving unexpectedly.  Surprise!  This Mercury retrograde continues to retrograde in your 12^th house until Oct. 15, 2008 when it

will take its continued and final journey thru Libra.

SAGITTARIUS-(November 22-December 21)

This Libra New Moon takes place in your 11^th house of hopes, wishes and goals.  

Since it is so weaved into the Mercury retrograde, you may find that some of your goals may be delayed until Oct. 15^th,

2008.  Have you asked yourself lately, “Where am I going?  What direction would be best?  What choices do I have?”  These are some of the questions you will be answering in the near future.  You have reached a pinnacle in your career and new challenges beckon you.

CAPRICORN-(December 22-January 19)

This Libra New Moon takes place in your 10^th house of career.  There seems to be something you have always wanted to

do but never found the opportune time to develop it.  You have now come to the conclusion there no time like the present to begin your career anew.  You are starting like you always start with confidence, organization and passion.  Mercury retrograde will delay some things for awhile but, ultimately, you will make your dreams come true.  Saturn in your 9^th says

it’s now or never.

AQUARIUS-(January 20-February 19)

This Libra New Moon takes place in your 9^th house of legal matters, philosophy, higher education and foreign affairs. 

This is very much a mental house for you and in great aspect to the New Moon.  You want to make some changes in your philosophy or plan a foreign vacation.  Now you can. Mercury retrograde will give you plenty of time to work out the kinks.  There will be a plan but it won’t come together until Oct. 15^th when Mercury goes direct.  Money seems to be

looking good.

PISCES-(February 20-March 20)

This Libra New Moon takes place in your 8^th house of other people’s money, sex, death and taxes.  The challenges here

seem to revolve around finances.  Your concern for finances seems paramount at this time.  There are going to be delays but this Libra New Moon announces fairness and justice. That is one part of the challenge.  The other part of this challenge is fear; fear because of the Mercury retrograde and time restraints. Tune into your heart center for personal peace.

Until the Next New Moon   Mary MacLean

Can you believe that we are having another New Moon in Virgo? 

Take a minute to notice that the New Moon is in Virgo and very close to Saturn.  This is signaling a completion to our current Saturn cycle.  As Saturn moves forward after reaching 9 degrees, it will have completed a cycle that started last year.  Every degree that it conjuncts from here on is an outcome and new direction until it reaches 14 degrees.  When Saturn reaches this 14 degrees, take note because this is the exact degree it will return to on its next retrograde.  Saturn will be turning retrograde on December 31, 2008 only to emerge on May 17, 2009 at the very same 14 degrees that we are looking on September 21, 2008.  This will begin a new Saturn cycle that reaches into August of 2009.

Getting back to now, there are many astrological phenomena taking place this next month.  Saturn, already transiting Virgo, is now joined by the Sun and provides us with a sense of duty and renewed work ethic.  Mercury and Venus both step into Libra and add a lighter quality to your life.   Jupiter turns direct and trines Saturn, but it also squares Mars.  What does that mean? It means that certain projects have been on hold for awhile and, as they start to inch forward, you can receive help from people that want to support you in your current endeavors.  Pluto, the planet of transformation goes direct in the last 2 degrees of Sagittarius promising a new power position in your chart. 

FYI-My forecasts should be read by your rising sign.  It will be

more significant for you.

Full Moon Eclipse August 16, 2008 at 24 degrees of Aquarius 

Hello, Fellow Star Gazers… 

This Full Moon takes place at 24 degrees of Aquarius.  The current resident of 22^nd degrees of Aquarius is Neptune. Neptune is the ruler of this Full Moon Eclipse. We all know that Neptune is the master of illusion and delusion. There is an air of confusion and not knowing the answer to simple questions that pertain to coming events and aspirations.

 I can honestly say that all Leos born on August 15^th, 16^th and 17^th have been under the Neptune opposition Sun aspect for some time. This is also true for Scorpios, whose birthdays are November 10^th, 11^th, 12^th, and 13^th and are experiencing a square aspect to Neptune and the Sun. Taurus natives that are born on May 8^th, 9^th, 10^th, 11^th and 12^th are experiencing the same Neptune square the Sun. We must not forget Aquarius, where Neptune has been making a conjunction.  The birthdays involved in this square are February 7^th, 8^th, 9^th and 10^th.   This Full Moon Eclipse is smack dab conjunct that Neptune in Aquarius and adds a bit of   ” What does this mean?” and ” I have no idea what the results will be.”  Try to remember this while experiencing the Full Moon Eclipse.  This Full Moon Eclipse is “Fixed Air” and will find you dealing with unknown facts while still trying to retain your current attitude. There will be intellectual changes you will be facing.  You may have to change your attitude or change the way you were dealing with certain problems.  You may have to accept information that changes your goals. The area of your life that will be affected depends on the house the eclipse occupies.  Don’t forget, Full Moon Eclipses are much more powerful than a simple Full Moon.

The Eclipse is a cycle that usually lasts 6 months, but, with any luck, when the Full Moon squares the Full Moon Eclipse, a turning point is reached. This should take place in November..  Make sure that you are using your natal rising sign for my forecasts.     

ARIES-(March 21-April 19)

This Full Moon Eclipse takes place in your 11^th house of goals conjunct Neptune.  Sometimes you find that what you think, you may have been led to think, and now the reality starts to set in.  In some matters we tend to believe what we want to believe instead of the truth.  Neptune will play this game with us, especially, when it comes to intangible things like our goals, hopes and wishes. This can be a rude awaking or a further step into fantasies that may never be realized.  If you are wise, you will look within for the truth is there and always has been.  Neptune the ruler of this Eclipse rules the 12^th house of the past.  This opens more possibilities in understanding the Eclipse. Saturn is currently transiting your 6^th house of work and health promoting new structures to improve your life.
 

TAURUS-(April 20-May 20)

This Full Moon Eclipse takes place in your 10^th house of career conjunct Neptune.  This Full Moon Eclipse is considered “Fixed Air” and deals with changes in thoughts and attitudes. This may not be as easy as it sounds because fixed has the connotation of being stubborn.  Career matters and changes in how you appear to the public may be more positive in your mind than in reality.  Choose your course carefully and scrutinize your path so that you are being true to yourself.  Neptune is the ruler of your 11^th house of goals and can be instrumental in understanding this Eclipse.  Saturn is currently transiting your 5^th house and redefining your creative processes.
 

GEMINI-(May 21-June 20)

This Full Moon Eclipse takes place in your 9^th house.  Interestingly enough, ” Fixed Air ” is consistent with the inability to see or accept other views as possible realities and trying to continue as if nothing has changed.  The 9^th house deals with higher education, legal matters, philosophy, and foreign affairs. You are forced to look at things with a deeper perspective.  The reality may not be what you want to think about but it won’t go away.  Neptune rules the 10^th house of career in your chart and has a lot of influence in this Eclipse. Saturn in your 4^th house has been redefining your home and core issues promising that you will be re-evaluating anything new that wants to take root as a new structure in your life.

CANCER-(June 21-July 22) 

The Full Moon Eclipse takes place in your 8^th house of partnership resources, other peoples money, sex, death and taxes. Quite a mouthful, I agree.  The conjunction to Neptune in this Eclipse suggests that what you are trying not to think about can actually be possible.  You may think that partnership finances are going to be acceptable or you may want to think that certain things will go the way you want; however, you must be careful that you do not excluding the possibility of other alternatives.  Think again, it’s time to take the blinders off your heart and mind and adjust to the reality. Neptune rules your 9^th house of philosophy, higher education, legal matters and foreign affairs and does have an influence in this Eclipse. Saturn has been transiting your 3^rd house redefining your communications and community.

LEO-(July 23-August 22)

This Full Moon Eclipse takes place in your 7^th house of partnership and the public.  The changes that take place here are not as clear as you would like to believe.  A lot of you are wearing a lovely set of rose colored glasses.  Remember the old saying, “If you have doubts, don’t do it!” If you have no doubts, get real and look a little closer.  This is not about doing or not doing; it’s about fully accepting reality and other possibilities.  This is not your strong point. Neptune is the ruler of your 8^th house and partnership finances may show up as a concern during this Eclipse cycle. Saturn is continuing to transit your 2^nd house of love and money redefining as it goes. 

VIRGO-(August 23-September 22)

This Full Moon Eclipse takes place in your 6^th house of work and health.  The changes that take place here are relevant to your everyday life.  You may be exaggerating some aspect in your work or health area.  Of course, the opposite can also be true.  Try to find the reality of the situation and move from that standpoint.  If that’s not possible, know that you will soon be face-to-face with reality. Neptune is the ruler of your 7^th house of partnership and general public and has a lot of involvement in this Eclipse.  Saturn in your 1^st house has been redefining your personality and appearance.  I bet you have lost a few pounds and look great.

LIBRA-(September 23-October 22)

This Full Moon Eclipse takes pace in your 5^th house of children and creativity.  In many ways the 5^th house can handle the illusion of Neptune that it encounters.  The imagination is very active in this house and has a sense of independence when thinking in terms of children, love affairs and creativity.  Delusion is never easy to accept but, even in the 5^th house it doesn’t seem as critical. Love affairs can change direction. Neptune rules your 6^th house of work and everyday health and seems to have influence in this Eclipse. Saturn transiting your 12^th house is redefining the past and preparing you for the future.  

SCORPIO-(October 24-November 22)

This Full Moon Eclipse takes place in your 4^th house of home and core issues.  The changes that take place now seem to have an air of celebration connected to them.  This is your home, where you live, literally and figuratively.  What happens here manifests on a core level also.  There are aspects that form a trine to your Sun and are actively changing your reality for the better.  Information that comes in now is preparing you for the future. Neptune is the ruler of your 5^th house of children and creativity and matters of this house can also be involved in the Eclipse. Saturn is transiting your 11^th house of goals and redefining them.

SAGITTARIUS-(November 22-December 21)

This Full Moon Eclipse takes place in your 3^rd house of communication, community, brothers and sisters.  This is a change in communications where you are faced with different choices. In some respects you can consider this celebratory and on the other hand all you are hearing can just be hype.  The reality is somewhere in the middle.  Neptune is the ruler of your 4^th house of home and core issues and has influence in this Eclipse.  Saturn is transiting your 10^th house of career and standing in the community.  You are redefining your career options as I write.  Try to stay on an even keel; it won’t be easy but still try.  

CAPRICORN-(December 22-January 19)

This Full Moon Eclipse takes place in your 2^nd house of love and money.  There are changes in your personal finances or in your love life.  You are probably wondering what direction to go yet no answers come to mind.  You want the most you can get yet that seems to be too much to ask. Stop trying to overcome a situation that you are bound to avoid anyway. This will be an expansive time for you and going forward will be easy.  Just be sure to read the fine print.  Neptune is the ruler of your 3^rd house of communication, community and brothers and sisters.  These matters can very well have influence in this Eclipse.  Saturn is transiting the 9^th house redefining your philosophy and other beliefs.  

AQUARIUS-(January 20-February 19)

This Full Moon Eclipse takes place in your 1^st house conjunct transiting Neptune.  At this point in time I am pretty sure that you don’t know your name.  This Eclipse in the 1^st house of personality is forcing you to make changes and get a grip on what you have to do to secure what you want in the future.  Times right now can be challenging, but remember, it’s no over till the fat lady sings. Neptune is the ruler of your 2^nd house of personal finances and love.  See if this helps in defining the Eclipse for you. Saturn is transiting the 6^th house of work and everyday health. A great time for diets.   

PISCES-(February 20-March 20)

This Full Moon Eclipse takes place in your 12^th house of the past, secrets and hidden matters.  You may find that Neptune is in the 12^th conjunct the Full Moon Eclipse but it rules the 1^st.  This is all about you and how you appear to the world.  Are you who you say you are or will scrutiny unveil an unseemly character? The light is shinning on you; who you are and what you can do.  Saturn is transiting your 7^th house of partnership scrutinizing your all of your partnerships.This will continue until your new desires regarding partners has firmly taken root.

New Moon Eclipse August 1^st, 2008 at 9 degrees of Leo..

Hello, Fellow Star Gazers…

I am very interested in this New Moon Eclipse as it conjuncts my Natal Pluto and opposes my Natal Mercury.  Sounds ominous, but after doing charts for so many years I finally came to realize that Eclipses are like forgetting to pay the light bill: it happens, the lights go out and then you straighten out the mess.  Take note that the Eclipse is in the fixed fire of Leo. This indicates that the Eclipse will be personal to you and although it is uncomfortable, you seem to work around it quite well.  I have another Eclipse article that I will put up with more technical verbiage.  This is especially for my students and the curious.  Take a minute to locate what house the Eclipse falls in your chart as this will be definitive for you.

The Eclipse is a cycle that usually lasts 6 months but, with any luck, when the New Moon squares the New Moon Eclipse, a turning point is reached.  Make sure that you are using your natal rising sign for my forecasts.     

ARIES-(March 21-April 19)

The New Moon Eclipse at 9 degrees of Leo falls in your 5^th house of children, creativity and love affairs.  The challenge here is steeped in the creative principal and permeates the 5^th house.  You may find that affairs of children are high on your list of priorities. Vacations and investments can be in need of your attention.  The ever popular love affair may be an object of perseverance.  The 5^th house can represent many things but, ultimately, it represents the intangibles in everyone’s life.  Transiting Mercury is within 3 degrees of the Eclipse and promises to add a sharp edge to intellectual endeavors.  This transiting Mercury may find you intellectually cleaning house and replacing old outworn concepts with new fresh ideas.    

TAURUS-(April 20-May 20)

The New Moon Eclipse at 9 degrees of Leo falls in your 4^th house of home, core issues, beginnings and endings.  The challenge in the 4^th house takes place on many levels-physical, spiritual, emotional.  Your current perception of what makes you feel secure may be going under revision.  You may find yourself reaching for new ideas in the area of core issues. Leo is a fixed fire sign and signifies a personal challenge that you would love to forget.  Alas, that will be possible to a certain extent but your Taurus rising may have other ideas.  Transiting Mercury conjunct the Eclipse may lead you down a spiritual path in regards to the home or core issues allowing you to find more peace and contentment.   Take note, the 4^th house is very personal.

GEMINI-(May 21-June 20)

The New Moon Eclipse at 9 degrees of Leo falls in your 3^rd house of community, communications, brothers and sisters.  The personal challenge will have to do with ideas and communications.  This Eclipse is conjunct transiting Mercury enforcing this 3^rd house alignment.  Short distance travel, community involvement and discussions with close family may make this a great opportunity to exchange ideas and convictions.  Take advantage of the exchange and widen your horizons.

CANCER-(June 21-July 22) 

The New Moon Eclipse at 9 degrees of Leo falls in your 2^nd house of personal finances and possessions indicating that your value system may be challenged and finances may be compromised.  This is a personal matter and love can also be unresolved.  Transiting Mercury conjunct the Eclipse promises a lot of communications to be exchanged before these issues can be resolved.  Possessions and what you value are the measurements that take place in this area.

LEO-(July 23-August 22)

The New Moon Eclipse at 9 degrees of Leo falls in your 1^st house of personality and appearance.  This is your opportunity to individualize yourself from everyone around you.  Establish who you are and have it validated by others.  With the adjunct of transiting Mercury this may seem as if you need to promote yourself and if that’s the case, by all means, this is the perfect time for self promotion.   This is a time to distinguish yourself from everyone else in the world.    

VIRGO-(August 23-September 22)

The New Moon Eclipse at 9 degrees of Leo takes place in your 12^th house.  This is the house that encompasses the past, the subconscious, our connection to the universe, and institutions.  The Leo Eclipse is fixed fire and indicates a personal challenge in this area of your chart.  Transiting Mercury is conjunct the Eclipse and promises many ideas and much communication in relation to your challenge. It is sometimes difficult to really understand the 12^th house because so much of the meaning can be shrouded in old emotional veils.  Take time to see this Eclipse clearly and resolve the issues involved. 

LIBRA-(September 23-October 22)

The New Moon Eclipse at 9 degrees of Leo takes place in your 11^th house of friends, group associations and goals.  This Eclipse is fixed fire and by that signature indicates a personal challenge.  This is the area of the chart that deals with aspirations, desires and intangible pursuits.  This will offer you opportunities to advance your goals and desires in directing your attention to some floundering pursuit.  The addition of transiting Mercury to the mix only increases the opportunity to communicate your goals to others for validation.

SCORPIO-(October 24-November 22)

This New Moon Eclipse at 9 degrees of Leo takes place in your 10^th house of your standing in the community, career, and how the world views you. “How powerful are you?”  This will be a personal challenge and indicate a possible new addition to your skills or a refurbishing of your current skills.  The whole idea is personal power.  The transiting Mercury conjunct this Eclipse indicates communication will be also added to the mix.  You may be having a career malfunction or certain areas of your career need to be bolstered.  This Eclipse will be fixed fire telling me that you will try to live with this crisis and keep the status quo.

SAGITTARIUS-(November 22-December 21)

The New Moon Eclipse at 9 degrees of Leo takes place in your 9^th house of long distance travel, philosophy, legal matters and education.   Transiting Mercury conjuncts this Eclipse and adds some interesting ideas and concepts to entice you to share your ideas with others to gain more insight.  This will be a personal challenge as Leo is fixed fire and counsels you to continue your current thoughts throughout this Eclipse until the crisis dissipates. The 9^th house has always been considered a mental house seeking exchanges in ideas as a way to gain knowledge. You’re going to love this, Sag…

CAPRICORN-(December 22-January 19)

The New Moon Eclipse at 9 degrees of Leo takes place in your 8^th house of sex, death, taxes and partnership resources.  This is an important area of life that resounds around sharing with a significant other, i.e.,  partnerships, government, banks, inheritance.  Transiting Mercury conjunct the Eclipse involves communication and ideas that will make this a personal challenge.  If you can imagine being audited by the government or trying to split up community property, then you will have an idea about this Eclipse.  It’s all about Money.

AQUARIUS-(January 20-February 19)

The New Moon Eclipse at 9 degrees of Leo takes place in your 7^th house of partnership or dealing with the public.  This Eclipse is in Leo, which is fixed fire, indicating that you will endure this personal challenge while trying to keep things going routinely.  Transiting Mercury conjunct the Eclipse  give us a heads up, adding communication to the current dilemma.  Partnership crises can be real and  they can leave you with the desire to run in another direction.  Take your time and try to understand the concepts of others.  You will endure because that is what you are good at.

PISCES-(February 20-March 20)

The New Moon Eclipse at 9 degrees of Leo takes place in your 6^th house of work and health.  The understanding that you currently have may change in a moments notice.  Transiting Mercury conjunct this Eclipse interjects an avenue of communication that will also be involved. This Eclipse is in constellation of Leo.  Leo is considered fixed fire and projects the possibility for change; but the change languishes in limbo.  If this is a health issue you will need to be attentive throughout the 6 month cycle.  You are at times much understated, but with this Eclipse, you will have to look super-human and very smart.

Full Moon on July 18, 2008 at 26 degrees of Capricorn..
Hello, Fellow Star Gazers…This is a particularly important Full Moon as it heads into the New Moon Eclipse on August 1, 2008. Interestingly enough, as we head into August, we will pass the point of the retrograde, which was 8 degrees of Virgo and now start to see an outcome to the last 9 months of transits. I noticed that we have Pluto, Jupiter, Chiron, Neptune and Uranus retrograde. I bet as they retrograde and hit your specific planets while Saturn is direct, they will manifest many results. Mars in Virgo all month will trine transiting Jupiter and, if you are lucky to have any planet on or around 15 degrees of Taurus, July 27th, 2008 will be extremely fortunate. Full Moons tend to be a completion of current endeavors of the house they occupy. Look for the New Moon Eclipse of August 1, 2008 to be a result of your current Full Moon.

ARIES-(March 21-April 19)
The Full Moon at 26 degrees of Capricorn falls in your 10th house of career and standing in the community. The completion or ending that this Full Moon conveys is a change in career or how you may present yourself to the world anew. This is an angular house and is usually very personal. You may be changing careers or committing to redeveloping how people view you. You could be ending training for a career or changing what you do in your current career. All of these are possible and probable. If this Full Moon lands on a planet in your chart, this will give you more information of what this Full Moon involves. Example: this Full Moon lands on my Sun in the 4th indicating my energy and life force will be concerned with home and issues manifesting there.

TAURUS-(April 20-May 20)
The Full Moon at 26 degrees of Capricorn falls in your 9th house of philosophy, higher education, legal matters and foreign affairs. This Full Moon will benefit you as it will form a trine to any planets you have in the sign of Taurus or other earth sign placements. If you have any planets in Libra, Cancer and/or Aries, this Full Moon will have you taking some kind of action in response. The 9th house is a very mental house so all of your gymnastics will take place in your head. Strategies and plans can be finalized for trips or other important 9th house matters. Your plans are important now. Actions that you take now will lead into the August 1, 2008 Eclipse.

GEMINI-(May 21-June 20)
This Full Moon takes place at 26 degrees of Capricorn in your 8th house of partnership resources or money from your work. There seem to be changes for you in relation to finances, not your personal money but money that you might receive from a partner or corporation. There will be a commitment or structure you will be putting into effect. This Full Moon trines your 12th house of the past and the 4th house of home and new beginnings. You are committed to making a change. If you have any planets in early degrees of Sag or Pisces, there are changes coming. The Full Moon will be entering Sagittarius also, so any planets you have at early degrees of Sag, Gemini, Virgo and Pisces will offer you considerable changes,

CANCER-(June 21-July 22)
This Full Moon takes place at 26 degrees of Capricorn in your 7th house of partnership. Be it business or personal, you can count on changes in dealing with any kind of partnership issues. Again, this lands in an angular house making these changes personal to you. Structure can be paramount as is commitment and plans for the future. Take into account that this will trine any planets you have in Taurus and transiting Saturn and Mars in Virgo during its approach to the Full Moon. The 7th house can also mean dealing with the public in some matter that may be close to you. Public acknowledgement and concern can manifest for you as well. This is a very visible place for a Full Moon.

LEO-(July 23-August 22)
This Full Moon takes place at 26 degrees of Capricorn in your 6th house of everyday work and health, an indication of what you have been experiencing for the last 9 months. This is all about changes in work and/or health. There is a plan or structure here that takes place at the Full Moon and leads to the New Moon Eclipse of August 1. This Eclipse will bring you more attention than you ever dreamed . This may be a change in the work you do. You may find yourself involved with a new health regime. I usually don’t mention this but 6th house also represents pets. Just thought I would throw it out there.

VIRGO-(August 23-September 22)
This Full Moon takes place in Capricorn at 26 degrees in your 5th house of children and creativity. The changes here can take many forms. It may involve your children, as they are a major creative act. It may involve love affairs, good times and gambling (investing). This Full Moon can be very harmonious for you as it trines all your planets in Virgo on the way to the Full Moon. You may find yourself preparing for, making plans or just commitments to new beginnings at the Eclipse or working hard on vacation goals. This will be very eventful for you as July and August put an end to the last year and starts you off in a new cycle.

LIBRA-(September 23-October 22)
This Full Moon takes place in Capricorn at 26 degrees in your 4th house of home and core issues. This looks important, Libra, as it takes place in your home or the structure of your life. There will be a twofold happening with this Full Moon because of the placement in the 4th house. Look for a change in the home or disruption in the home that will lead into the New Moon Eclipse. On a personal level take notice what structures you have committed to in the next month leading to the Eclipse. Most likely, you will not have a chance to steer away from the next 3 weeks. Capricorn is always structure, plans and commitment and if you have Saturn or Pluto in Capricorn, this will be a stressful but transforming Full Moon.

SCORPIO-(October 24-November 22)
This Full Moon at 26 degrees of Capricorn takes place in your 3rd house of communications and community. Capricorn’s ruler is Saturn and conveys structure easily to communication with plans and strategies. There are community issues that may present themselves that deal with structure or re-structuring. Brothers and sisters may concern you with their new plans. This Full Moon brings with it a New Moon Eclipse on its heels that will develop into a new and challenging future event. This is a mental house and planning can, and will, become essential.

SAGITTARIUS-(November 22-December 21)
The Full Moon at 26 degrees of Capricorn takes place in your 2nd house of personal values and private finances. Capricorn is easily the most structured of all the constellation definitions mainly because of the Saturn rulership. This is the time to take responsibility for personal finances and your love relationships. To tell you the truth, I don’t think you will have a choice and I know how that burrows into your thoughts on fun. I do think that this is something you have been expecting and it has finally come into fruition. The New Moon Eclipse follows with harmonious aspects. Challenging but harmonious.

CAPRICORN-(December 22-January 19)
This Full Moon at 26 degrees of Capricorn takes place in your 1st house of personal presentation and personality. You are naturally ruled by Saturn and this Full Moon will only accentuate this. You may have restructured your look or become more conservative in your dress. This Full Moon finds you completing some personal project that you have been working on for awhile. This can be a restrictive cycle but to you this is not a problem. The New Moon Eclipse on August 1st will bring with it challenges to your new structures. You will love it.

AQUARIUS-(January 20-February 19)
The Full Moon at 26 degrees of Capricorn take place in your 12th house of the past, hidden matters, institutions and subconscious. The 12th house has a way of limiting ones ability to move forward out of context. Your freedom is curtailed and energy has to be conserved. Any Full Moon in this house requires slow methodical movement. Preparation can have real meaning in this position. Look for answers in your meditations. This is a perfect time for mental and emotional cleansing. The New Moon Eclipse will bring in challenges to what surfaces at this time.

PISCES-(February 20-March 20)
The Full Moon at 26 degrees of Capricorn takes place in your 11th house of goals. This can be a momentous time as you are reaching some new goals. The idea that it is finally real can make you happy as a clam and just as giddy. It is now time to move forward with your current strategy and manifest the rest of the fantasy. There is an adjustment that you have to make but that is the least of your concerns. This is definitely the cake you have been baking for awhile and all that’s left to do is the icing. The New Moon Eclipse on August 1st can only bring a challenge to your delight. Think about it, how bad can it be?

June 18th, 2008 Full Moon at 27 degrees of Sagittarius

Hello, Fellow Stargazers…This Mercury retrograde is giving you an idea of what is coming and what you are going to have to do to deal with it.  The New Moon brought in action with a capitol “A”.  The Full Moon is going to be just as interesting.  The Full Moon is in Sagittarius at 27 degrees.  Pluto is where? 29 degrees of Sagittarius…..hmmmmm….I expect this to be intense and a direct result of the last 6 months. (I bet you thought I was going to say the last 2 weeks.)  The last time Pluto was at 29 degrees was January.  Think back, what was challenging you during this period?  Well, it’s here now in all its pagan power.  Wherever the Full Moon lands in your chart , there will be a  change in your everyday life: a change you will have to get used to and a change that lies heavily on your consciousness. It will be interesting to follow the time line of past events to see if they coincide with current transits.  Mercury is retrograde and continues to enforce the rule of “always read the fine print”.  By June 19th Mercury will be at 13 degrees of Gemini starting its direct motion.  What has been going on for the last week is a combination of New Moon in Gemini and Mercury retro at the same exact degree of 13 degrees.  You will notice that you have made some important decisions and the results will be forthcoming after July 4, 2008.  By the end of the month four major planets will be retrograde.  This promises to be very eventful.

FYI-My forecasts should be read by your rising sign.  It will be
more significant for you.

ARIES-(March 21-April 19)
The Full Moon on June 18, 2008 will be at 27 degrees of Sagittarius and falls in your 9th house of philosophy, legal matters, foreign affairs and higher education.  The emphasis is on a change that will encompass one of these subjects.  You can rest assured that the pressure will be on with Pluto in the mix.  Also, remember this is a conclusion of some sort and will change your life on a daily basis.  Saturn is still in your 6th house and moving forward to complete its cycle in August.  Jupiter is retrograde in your 10th house promising some new expansion on the career level.  Neptune and Chiron are retrograde in your 11th house offering you only the illusion of what you want but absolutely nothing you can take to the bank.  Try to live your dreams everyday.

TAURUS-(April 20-May 20)
This Full Moon on June 18, 2008 at 27 degrees of Sagittarius lands in your 8th house of partnership resources and other people’s money.  This has an intense vibration to it as the Full Moon conjuncts retrograde Pluto and opposes the Gemini Sun.   This can be a very sexual time and delightfully passionate.  On the other hand, you can spend a bundle on having a good time.  Saturn is moving forward in your 5th house of creativity and love affairs redefining the quality of your 5th house relationships.  Neptune and Chiron are still retrograde in your 10th house of career tormenting you with thoughts of what you want and pitting them against the thoughts of what you might get.

GEMINI-(May 21-June 20)

LEO-(July 23-August 22)
This Full Moon on June 18th, 2008 at 27 degrees of Sagittarius lands in your 5th house of creativity and romance.   Think of all the many ways this can manifest: you can be completing a vacation; you may have children on your mind; (the intense involvement you could have with bringing a new life into the world); you could have completed a personal masterpiece.  It all sounds so good.  Saturn is currently transiting your 2nd house of love and money, redefining and creating a better foundation for love and money.  Mars the planet of action has been in your house for awhile and promoting your personal assets quite positively.

VIRGO-(August 23-September 22)

This does have a lot of intensity involved with it, but with Pluto involved, what can you expect.  Communication is the key to this Full Moon but rest assured, you will get an earful.  It will be time to make a plan and follow it closely.  Saturn is still in your 12th house helping you to do some emotional housekeeping by getting rid of old emotional baggage and moving forward into the future with a much lighter load.  Uranus in the 6th house promises excitement in your everyday work.  Jupiter in the 5th will enhance and activate your creativity.

SCORPIO-(October 24-November 22)

Saturn is still moving forward in your 11th house redefining your goals and formulating new ones.  Jupiter retrograde in your 3rd promises expansion in your communications.  Neptune and Chiron may cause you to have some illusions you need to address.  For the most part, you are doing really well.

SAGITTARIUS-(November 22-December 21)
This Full Moon on June 18th, 2008 at 27 degrees of Sagittarius lands in your 1st house of personality and how you appear to the outside world.  This must be pretty important to you because it signals a completion to some personal projects.  This is an intense time but also very informative as it also opens up a path for you to follow.  Saturn in your 10th house of career has started the process of redefining your future career goals.  Jupiter is in your 2nd house of love and money promising expansion on both of those fronts.  It seems to be time to make some important moves.  Uranus in the 4th house can unexpectedly bring in home changes or changes in your basic core issues.

This Full Moon on June 18th, 2008 at 27 degrees of Sagittarius lands in your 12th house of the past and subconscious.  This may not be as clear cut as you want it to be but it will impact you on many levels.  There is a completion with the past or a person or situation from the past.  It will be an intense time solely because of the conjunction to transiting Pluto.   It completes a cycle that you have been emotionally tied to for many years.  This is your closure: take advantage of it.  Saturn is transiting your 9th house of higher education, foreign affairs, legal matters and philosophy.  You are on your way to achieving a pinnacle of success in your endeavors.  Jupiter in your 1st house is a harbinger of a thicker waistline.

AQUARIUS-(January 20-February 19)
The Full Moon on June 18th, 2008 takes place in your 11th house of hopes, wishes and goals.  This will be the completion of whatever you have been involved with during the last couple of weeks but, ultimately, it has been on your mind for some time.  You know what you have to do but are not sure if it will work.  You feel as though you are walking on quicksand, not a secure feeling.  It’s time to make your move and you know it.  You have to make something happen.  Saturn transiting your 8th house of partnership resources has been encouraging you to solidify your incoming finances by showing you what will work and what won’t work.  Jupiter in your 12th house is a last minute helper, saving you at the very last minute.  Uranus in your 2nd house can bring in finances unexpectedly but, also, relieve you of them just a quick.  You know what you have to do so just do it.

PISCES-(February 20-March 20)
This Full Moon on June 18th, 2008 at 27 degrees of Sagittarius takes place in your 10th house of career and standing in the community.  There is a definite change coming in career on a day-to-day level.  You might be finalizing your leaving one career for another.  This can all be happening in your current position or in an entirely new one.  There is a certain intensity involved because of Pluto but, also, because this happens in an angular house.  Saturn is transiting your 7th house of partnerships and redefining what you need in a partnership.  Jupiter in your 11th house promises new goals, hopes and wishes.  Uranus in the 1st house has changed you quite a bit and promises more personal changes.  You have been set free, so fly.

June 3rd, 2008 New Moon at 13 degrees of Gemini
Hello fellow star gazers…are you ready for the Mercury retrograde and the New Moon at 13 degrees of Gemini?  I think all of you students need to see the setup for the Mercury retrograde this month.   Mercury went retrograde on May 26th, 2008 at 21 degrees of Gemini.  Mercury goes direct on June 19th, 2008 at 13 degrees of Gemini.  The degree of the New Moon and the direct motion of Mercury occupy the same degree.  The information it reports is simple.  Gemini is the sign of the twins and also represents communications.  The challenge of the New Moon at 13 degrees of Gemini will have everything to do with communications.   Let’s look back in May when Mercury was first at 13 degrees of Gemini.  May 12th is when Mercury first passed 13 degrees of Gemini.  What was going on for you during the period of May 12th to May 26th, 2008?  These are the issues that will be delayed and not resolved until Mercury passes the degrees of Gemini 21 degrees on July 4th, 2008.  I hope that you will look in your ephemeris and follow along with the Mercury transit.  This month another planet goes retrograde and it is Uranus.  Mark your calendar for May 27th for Uranus (the planet of freedom and the spontaneity) and review the past few months.  If you have Uranus in good aspect in your natal chart, you will love this review.  Pluto is retrograde and leaves Capricorn on June 14th, 2008 to revisit your Sagittarius energy once more.
FYI-My forecasts should be read by your rising sign.  It will be
more significant for you.

ARIES-(March 21-April 19)
The New Moon is at 13 degrees of Gemini in your 3rd house of communications, brothers and sisters and community.  You are naturally assertive and are not prone to being patient so this will be a remarkably long month for you.  I say this because things will move slowly, especially, when it comes to what you want most to happen yesterday.
On the other hand, this New Moon will trine your 11th house of goals telling me that you will receive a lot of energy from this New Moon and it promises much. Neptune is retrograde and you may have unanswered questions in the back of your head.  Keep your fingers crossed and try to relax.  You will not be able to make it go away any faster by wishing.

TAURUS-(April 20-May 20)
The New Moon is in your 2nd house of finances, love and values.  You have set your mind to something and now all you have to do is wait.  There has been a lot of talk about what the probabilities and possibilities are and they all seem to revolve around career.  Interestingly enough, your perceptions are positive and resolute.  There may be some delays in finances but you are tenacious enough not to give up.  If this has to do with love, you are confused, but it all works out.

GEMINI-(May 21-June 20)
This New Moon takes place in your 1st house of personality and action.  You will be the center of attention for awhile.  Your energy is going outward and you are trying to reposition yourself in something that expresses the real you.  This will be a testy month, but in the end, you will emerge triumphant. Mercury goes retrograde in your 1st house delaying some expectant results.  Neptune is retrograde confusing some issues that deal with your philosophy and what is possible.  Remember that old saying that the grass is always greener somewhere else.   Keep this in mind as you get your wish.

CANCER-(June 21-July 22)
This New Moon takes place in your 12th house of the past and preparation. You are possibly preparing for an event with every ounce of energy you can muster.  Communications are strong and offer no answers and some delays in respect to what you are waiting for.  People from the past and situations that are hidden seem to be welling up. Neptune is retrograde in your 8th house of other people’s money and confusion can arise when it comes to expectant finances. Money can be good and, possibly thought provoking, but your perceptions are positive.

LEO-(July 23-August 22)
This New Moon takes place in Gemini at 13 degrees in your 11th house of personal goals, hopes and wishes.  This is mainly all about what you want and if you can having it your way.  Mercury is retrograde and delays that deal with your future seem imminent.  There is an optimism that is in the air that has to do with partnerships and the general public but you are still worried.  Neptune is retrograde and produces this kind of confusion.  Your goals are safe and still working in your favor.  Your stubbornness will save you.

VIRGO-(August 23-September 22)
This New Moon takes place in your Gemini 10th house of career ruled by the planet Mercury.  Mercury is retrograde.  Enough said. Your creative level is high and enhanced by the Neptune retrograde.  It is possible and probable that your goals seem to have taken a back seat for the time being as you have to deal with the workings of your daily life.  You are reinventing yourself and that’s not so easy.  It will all happen in time. Your anxiety level will not make it happen any more quickly.  Perfection is an ideal, not a reality.

LIBRA-(September 23-October 22)
This New Moon takes place in your 9th house of philosophy, higher education, legal matters and foreign affairs.   This is an enticing time for you as you ponder your future.  You may have come to a delay you never expected but, alas, you will need this time to accomplish all that you want to do.  Romance is a little iffy but only because you don’t know what you want.  Neptune is retrograde and usually promises more that it can deliver.  Take heart, sweet Libra, everything happens a day at a time and you are at the beginning of a journey.

SCORPIO-(October 24-November 22)
This New Moon takes place in your 8th house of other people’s money and promises you some positive changes at home.  Promises are wonderful; however, the reality will be delayed for a time.   Mercury is retrograde in your 8th causing these delays.  Neptune in your 4th house of home and core issues promises much, however nothing is going anywhere.  Your intuitive nature and perceptiveness will keep you going on the right track.  It’s all about slowing down and digging in.

SAGITTARIUS-(November 22-December 21)
This New Moon takes place in your 7th house of partnerships and general public.  This is a placement that deals directly with others.  Unexpected delays are very possible in this area but you will need the time.  Money can be difficult as a result.  Neptune is retrograde and may cause some confusion with brothers and sisters as will be the interactions that you have with neighbors, co-workers and community.   Take stock of what your position is and recalculate your destinations.

CAPRICORN-(December 22-January 19)
This New Moon takes place in your 6th house of everyday work and health.  For some of you the emphasis will be on both subjects, and for others, one will predominate.  Challenges have unexpectedly showed up that require patience and understanding when it comes to work and/or health.  How this will affect your finances is another aspect that seems a little unclear.  Neptune has gone retrograde adding a need to rethink certain areas of concern.  Mercury is retrograde adding misunderstandings to the pot.  Mix all ingredients well and bake for six weeks.

AQUARIUS-(January 20-February 19)
This New Moon takes place in your 5th house of children and creativity.  You may have noticed that communications may have lagged in dealing with these subjects or you may have noticed  that some unexpected event has triggered a delay in what you were expecting.  Mercury is retrograde asking us to reread the fine print of our lives for the last two weeks.  This will cause some delays but, ultimately, you will put the time to good use.  Neptune retrograde in your 1st house is causing you to rethink your decisions and confirm your current path.  Don’t try to do it now.  Wait a few weeks and see what the cosmos does.

PISCES-(February 20-March 20)
This New Moon takes place in your 4th house of home and core issues.  Gemini in this position gives lots of leeway to you.  Your concerns may be internal but will also surface and manifest in your life, especially in your home.  Mercury goes retrograde in your 4th house and communications are a problem.   Neptune in your 12th house has been gracious enough to give you the ability to see deeper than ever before and open the doors of spirituality very wide.  Pay attention to your intuition and you will find  the answers to your long held questions.

May New Moon on May 5th, 2008
May Full Moon on May 20th, 2008.

Hello fellow star gazers….this is a particularly important month as our plans start to come together at the New Moon and move forward toward completion in June and July.  Last September until January you put certain aspects into motion and the whole idea was to solidify some aspect of your life.  This occurred for all of us simultaneously.  The only difference for each of us individually was the area of our lives in which it occurred.  This current cycle is 2 ½ years long.  It started September 3, 2007 and directly involves the planet Saturn and the constellation Virgo.  Wherever Virgo is situated in your natal chart is the same place Saturn is transiting; thus telling me the area of your life in which this reconstruction is taking place. Saturn will be turning direct on May 3rd, 2008 releasing old restrictions and pushing us ever forward to our personal goals.  The other planets are important, but when it comes to structure, Saturn ranks #1 and is the foundation of all of my forecasts. I will be doing the New Moon in concert with the Full Moon as I will be in Chicago at the Full Moon visiting family and unable to prepare for the Full Moon properly.   This Full Moon is at 29 degrees of Scorpio ( a well-known critical degree) and the Sun at 29 degrees of Taurus, tends to make me say that you should be cautious on the 20th of May. Mercury is in Gemini and will be going retrograde on the 26th of May and it does not turn direct until June 19th, 2008. If you are a Gemini or have planets in Gemini, you will have some delays that come in on or around May 26th.

FYI-My forecasts should be read by your rising sign.  It will be
more significant for you.

ARIES-(March 21-April 19)
The New Moon is at 15 degrees of Taurus in your 2nd house of values and personal intent.  Saturn is going direct as of May 3, 2008 and Mars is direct completing its transit of your 4th house. Money and values and all matters of that nature will be highlighted this month.   You have just completed the preliminary Saturn transit in your sixth house.  Saturn is starting the reconstruction of your sixth house of work and health.  It actually started in September of 07’ but life had to knead you into a more pliable piece of clay.  Starting with this New Moon you have already seen the issues of last September coming into play again, only this time you are ready to move forward.  This is all about what you value and what you will give to get what you want.  This is a game of give and take and only your soul knows your truth.  The Full Moon is at 29 degrees of Scorpio on May 20th, 2008 and certain changes will take place that facilitate your current direction.  Normally the 8th house has to do with money, other people’s money; the money you get from work or taxes or banks etc. etc.  Look for challenges to your personal income but by the end of the month money will look different.

TAURUS-(April 20-May 20)

GEMINI-(May 21-June 20)
This New Moon takes place in your 12th house of hidden matters and the past. You have been pursuing a new direction and you are getting impatient for career matters to materialize.  This last 6 – 9 months have found you trying to change your direction but, alas, the timing was not right. Saturn, transiting your 4th house of home and core issues, has been reconstructing your foundations and adding opportunities from the mega planet Pluto.   The Full Moon on May 20th, 2008 delivers some decisive changes to your 6th house of everyday work and/or health.  Changes in this area can mean many things but, for sure, it will involve everyday work and/or health.

CANCER-(June 21-July 22)
This New Moon takes place in your 11th house of goals, hopes and wishes.  Opportunities to express or create new goals are coming in with this moon.  Suddenly, doors start to open that had been previously closed to you or you have found a new way to achieve your goals. Saturn has been in your 3rd house of communications and immediate environment.  You are in the process of learning how to cover your butt.  This last 6-9 months you have had to communicate your beliefs over and over again.  No one got it.   Now in the coming month the path will become clear and your communications will have teeth.  The Full Moon on May 20th, 2008, takes place in your 5th house of children, creativity and love affairs.  Watch for changes in this area to bring you closer to your truth.

LEO-(July 23-August 22)
The New Moon on May 5th, 2008, takes place in your 10th house of career and standing in the community.  Exciting and challenging news reaches you about your career and how people se
