Astrology by Mary MacLean

Hello! Fellow Star Gazers… 

If that Mercury retrograde wasn’t the worst I can remember, I don’t know one that was.  My lips are dry and parched from counseling and trying to ease everybody’s fears.  Fear is a strange emotion; it can really get you lost in the stress of your life.  We have all been hit by the fear bug along the path of life and, usually, someone you like or love lets you know when that happens.  We get so lost in the fear we can see nothing else.  We are literally lost within ourselves looking for someone or something to hold on to or to tell us we will be o.k.  I want all of you to hear this.  You can only let go of fear if you trust in something higher than yourself or if trust in the fact that you will be o.k….  The operative word is TRUST!    You will need to connect to your heart center. Most people do this by meditation and prayer.  I don’t care how you do it, just find the inner self and connect.  Find out “who” inside you is begging for your attention. When it happens to me, I know that I have usually abandoned my inner child.  I am a real jerk if I don’t get enough time for myself.  I guess that is how this retrograde really had an effect on me.  I got lost trying to help everyone else.  The things I needed to do for myself were put on hold so that I could help others deal with their crises.  Please don’t think this is the only time it will happen, because every once in a while, without fail, we get lost in fear.  It’s human nature.  So take the nails out of your hands and feet and get down off the cross.  To err is human, to forgive is Divine.  I heard that somewhere but I don’t remember where.   That’s my precept for this Full Moon. 

 

By the way, this Full Moon is in Aries, a Cardinal fire sign.  This screams of movement and initiation wherever it lands in your chart.  For all intents and purposes you will make some changes.  This Cardinal T square is a funnel for energy to the sign that would make this a grand Cardinal Square and that is Cancer.  Whatever house Cancer rules will be very important in terms of motivation for this Full Moon.

 

Another issue is Mercury will be going direct on Oct. 15^th, 2008 and will release you from any doubt that you have had in the past month.  Also, the coming New Moon will be a square to the New Moon Eclipse in August.  Many issues that have been on your mind will definitely start to find a resolution in the coming month.

 

Last but not least, is the Saturn opposition Uranus that will be exact on Nov. 4^th,2008.  This ushers in a time of frustration with the old and desire for the new and exciting.  Of course, this will cause another bout of anxiety but the release will feel exciting.

 

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

 

ARIES-(March 21-April 19)

This Full Moon in Aries falls in your 1^st house of personality but, more importantly, it shouts out that you will be in the driver’s seat when changes are to be made.  You may feel the urge to get on with it.  Usually, this means that you have not paid attention to what you need and are now about to do something radical.  The changes do have to be made but, surely, you don’t want to throw the baby out with the bath water.  Let’s be rational.  Be real with yourself and others. This will manifest positive events. Saturn is still in your 6^th house and it may be that you need to take action on a health matter or some other matter that you have neglected.  The Saturn opposition Uranus has to do with breaking away from the old patterns because you are unable to continue them.

 

 

TAURUS-(April 20-May 20)

This Full Moon in Aries falls in your 12^th house of the past, subconscious and preparation.   The only thing that is behind the scenes is the action you are taking.  This Aries Full Moon demands action and is part of a T square that involves the Full Moon in Aries, Jupiter in Capricorn and Sun in Libra.  Your Taurus rising urges against making changes but somewhere in your subconscious, you have found the need for this activity. The T square funnels all of its energy into the missing leg of the T square, which is Cancer.  Communication and community will be at the root of your actions.  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 travels 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 Full Moon lands in your 11^th house of hopes, wishes and goals.  This Cardinal Square is predominately an action driven aspect.  The changes will take place in your 11^th house but you will primarily be activating a deliberate plan.  Jupiter is also active in this Cardinal square throwing caution to the wind when it comes to money.  Mercury retrograde in your 5^th house is reviewing the issues of this last month and goes direct on October 15^th, 2008 with new incentives for love affairs, children and creativity. The Saturn Uranus opposition will be very important and personal for you if you have any planets in Gemini at 18- 25 degrees.  This is a explosive release from the past.

 

 

CANCER-(June 21-July 22) 

This Full Moon takes place in your 10^th house of career telling us that changes are being called for in relation to career matters.  You may be asking, “What else can I do?” or “I need to find something that engages with me more personally.”  I would say that you are somehow going to take action on some issue that involves career.  This Cardinal Square sends its energy directly to the 1^st house of “I am going to get what I want.”   You are feeling that it is now or never.   This Mercury retrograde will be over as of October 15^th, 2008 reviewing issues of your 4^th house of home and core issues.  You will have a new direction.  The coming Saturn Uranus opposition will involve the 3^rd house of communications and community and the 9^th house of legal matters, foreign affairs, education and philosophy.  This is a letting go of old thoughts and thought patterns.

 

LEO-(July 23-August 22)

This Full Moon takes place in your 9^th house of legal matters, foreign affairs, philosophy and education.   The Cardinal T square involves the 9^th house, 3^rd house and 6^th house. The empty house is Cancer and this is where all the energy will be going.  You are thinking about making some changes but how to make it work for you is the question.  You will try to make peace with the past by exercising your new ideas.  This Full Moon happens to trine your ascendant so I know this will be to your liking.  The Mercury retrograde will be turning direct on October 15, 2008 and communications and community will run a lot smoother.  The coming Saturn Uranus opposition will involve your personal finances and other people’s money.   This will be important.

 

VIRGO-(August 23-September 22)

This Full Moon in Aries takes place in your 8^th house of sex, death and taxes.  The action takes place here but it is directed in the area of career.  Money seems to change; however, this is the vibration you did not want.  The Cardinal T square involves Jupiter, the Libra Sun and the Aries Full Moon.  All of the energy is then funneled into your 11^th house of goals, the empty leg of the T square.  This Mercury retrograde has taken place in your 2^nd house of personal finance and love.  The direct movement of Mercury on October 15, 2008 places you in another personal financial situation.  In November we will have a Saturn opposition Uranus.  This will be personal to you as it will deal with partnerships and open enemies. 

 

LIBRA-(September 23-October 22)

This Full Moon in Aries takes place in your 7^th house of partnerships and open enemies.  The changes that we experience are actions we need to address in order to feel better and seem to put a lot of focus on the 10^th house or career.  The Cardinal T Square configuration of the Full Moon in Aries, Jupiter in Capricorn and Sun in Libra focuses its energy on the missing leg of the T square.  The missing leg is Cancer, your 10^th house of career.  Your decisions will be based on career matters.  Mercury will be direct as of Oct. 15^th, 2008 and new directions will occupy your thoughts.  The coming Saturn Uranus opposition will fall in your 12^th house, behind the scenes, and oppose your Uranus in the 6^th house of work and health.  Watch for changes in work.

 

SCORPIO-(October 24-November 22)

This Full Moon in Aries takes place in your 6^th house of work and health.  It gives us an additional clue by the aspect that it makes in the chart.  The Full Moon in Aries forms a T square with Jupiter in Capricorn and the Sun in Libra.  This is potent and you will be taking action.  The leg of this T square that is open is the Cancer leg which rules your 9^th house of philosophy, legal matters, education and foreign affairs.  Matters that deal with this house will be the motivation for your Full Moon decisions.  Mercury retrograde will be over by October 15^th, 2008 and you will be able to resume your decisions of the recent past.  The retrograde has taken place in your 12^th house of past, preparations and institutions.  The Saturn Uranus opposition will involve the 11^th house of goals and the 5^th house of children, creativity and love affairs.  The goals of the past fall away and are replaced with new directions.

 

 

SAGITTARIUS-(November 22-December 21)

This Full Moon in Aries takes place in your 5^th house of children, creativity and love affairs.  The important aspect of this Full Moon is the Cardinal T square of the Full Moon in Aries, Jupiter in Capricorn and Sun in Libra.  This tells me that the empty leg of this aspect is Cancer, ruler of the 8^th house.  There will be decisions made that deal with 5^th house matters but the motivation will be partnership finances or other people’s money.

Mercury will be going direct in your 11^th house allowing you to resume some issues that had to do with your goals.  Mercury will be direct on October 15, 2008.   The coming Saturn Uranus opposition will present a crisis in your 10^th house of career and 4^th house of home and core issues.

 

CAPRICORN-(December 22-January 19)

The Full Moon in Aries lands in your 4^th house of home and core issues.  This month the emphasis is on changes that you initiate.  Because of the Cardinal T square that is formed by this Full Moon, the motivation for your actions will be found in the empty leg of the T square.  The empty leg of this T square is Cancer and rules the 7^th house of partnerships and open enemies.  Partnerships will be the motivation for your changes.  The Mercury retrograde will be over on October 15, 2008 allowing you to resume career decisions made in the past month.  The Saturn and Uranus opposition will take place in your chart in the 9^th house of legal matters, foreign affairs, philosophy and higher education, insuring a crisis of frustration with your 3^rd house of communications and community.

 

AQUARIUS-(January 20-February 19)

This Full Moon in Aries takes place in your 3^rd house of communications, community, brothers and sisters.  This is very action orientated and changes will take place.  This is a mental house so how bad can it be?  It does form a Cardinal T square with Jupiter in Capricorn and Sun in Libra.  The empty leg of the T square is Cancer, your 6^th house of work and health, supplying the motivation for your changes.  The Mercury retrograde will be turning direct on October 15^th, 2008 resuming issues that deal with 9^th house matters.  The Saturn Uranus opposition will take place in your 8^th house of partnership finances and other people’s money and your own personal finances.  This will be important and usher in more freedom that you will appreciate. 

 

PISCES-(February 20-March 20)

This Full Moon in Aries takes place in your 2^nd house of personal finances and love. It is part of a Cardinal T square that involves Jupiter in Capricorn and the Sun in Libra.  The empty leg of this T square is Cancer which rules your 5^th house of children, creativity and love affairs.  The motivation for your changes comes from the 5^th house.  Mercury will be going direct on October 15^th, 2008 in your 8^th house of partnership finances and other people’s money resuming your discussions over money.  The Saturn Uranus opposition that will be coming takes place in your 7^th house of partnerships and 1^st house of self. You may find this a little testy.
