Astrology by Mary MacLean

I was looking at the ephemeris and noticed that by December 1^st, 2009 all the planets will be direct until December 19, 2009 when Mars goes retrograde.  This will be a great time for a lasting union or some important event.  As Mars goes retrograde, this seems to be the time when something we unpredictable happens.  Even if this event seems uncomfortable, it is, in reality, adjusting your actions to accommodate Saturn’s transit thru Libra.

 

The New Moon on Nov. 16, 2009 is at 24 degrees of Scorpio.  I immediately connected this NM to transiting Uranus at 22 degrees of Pisces, which is a water trine.  I continued to view the NM chart I saw that there is an obvious fixed square from the NM to transiting Neptune, Chiron and Jupiter.    The last FM contained a fixed square but the difference is that from this fixed square there is a water trine taking place with Uranus.   Whenever there is a square aspect and a trine aspect located at one of the points that square,  means that whatever has been challenging you is about to give off a beneficial  outcome.  It may be that it is an opportunity to see reality thru our own distorted view.  Depending on where these combinations land in your natal chart will give more meaning as to what area of your life these manifestations will occur.

 

 Looking at Mars to oppose Jupiter is a lost cause as Mars goes retrograde on December 20^th.   They get close enough to make an impact on December 13, 2009 to December 26, 2009.  Travel is the usual with this aspect and some of you will be taking a trip back home.  One last thought…wherever Mars is transiting in your chart is where the redefining takes place.  Imagine a mini-Saturn.

 

This NM seems to be handing us a challenge in one hand and giving us a gift with the other.  This can be exciting and rewarding all at the same time.

Another important aspect that takes place is the transiting Saturn square transiting Pluto.  This becomes exact at the NM and starts to release the inner pressure cooker you have been recently experiencing.

Mercury enters Sagittarius on the NM, and, suddenly, you become interested and curious about everything and everybody.  Travel is on your mind as is a break from the humdrum.

(Note:  The meanings for the houses are abbreviated solely for my expediency and yours.  The meanings for all the houses can be found on the internet and, hopefully, be complete.  If you feel that these don’t fit your circumstances look them up. )

Please read your rising sign as it will give you more insight into these events.
