Astrology by Mary MacLean

Hi Friends…

I have just recieved umteen emails about my error on the date of the Full Moon Eclipse.  You were all correct it was August 16, 2008.  Thank you for noticing… What talented readers I have.

Mary MacLean

This Full Moon is in square to the Full Moon Eclipse Aug 16th, 2008 completing and resolving issues from that time period.  Since this is in Taurus, a Fixed Earth sign, the issues will be in your face and you will be trying your hardest to circumvent them.  Check where Taurus is in your chart and you will find the area that will be changed by this Full Moon. 

I am very interested in the Saturn-Uranus oppositions and would like to share some ideas about them.  There will be 5 oppositions…yes, five!  We just had number one on November 4, 2008, the day of the election. The others follow: February 5, 2009, September 15, 2009, April 26, 2010 and July 26, 2010.  Mark these dates down because they will be most important.

Saturn represents structure and stability but sometimes even Saturn needs a makeover.  Uranus is the planet of freedom. Freedom from Saturn or the old way of doing things is very much in the eye of the tornado.  On a personal level, these planets represent reinventing ourselves in new and different ways.  Of course, a lot of us fear change, especially change that calls for new surroundings and new people, new jobs and new relationships, new anything.  We like that old feeling of the tried and true but that gets old and we fear the unknown.  I will be writing an article on this the first chance I get.  I want to examine closely all of these oppositions and what they will mean to us personally. 

Please read your rising sign…

 ARIES-(March 21-April 19)

This Full Moon in Taurus takes place in your 2^nd house of personal finances and values. This is all about your personal choices in life and how they have worked for you these past 3 months.  Issues that started last August have finally turned the corner and you can see the light at the end of the tunnel.  For some of us the Eclipse will last for another 3 months, and for others, this is a turning point.  This month on November 27^th, Uranus goes direct to complete the cycle that it started in March of this year.  The way will be increasingly clear after the direct motion.  You will have more freedom.  Uranus in the 12^th house has brought many unexpected issues from the past to the surface.   

TAURUS-(April 20-May 20)

This Full Moon is in Taurus in your 1^st house of personality.  As cautious as you are about your habitual routines, this Full Moon will have a definite change in how you appear to the world.  You are instituting a new change, like it or not, that works to your benefit as it progresses.  Uranus in your 11^th of goals is ready to go direct on November 27^th, projecting your sights on a new goal.  This turns the corner on a cycle that started last March.  Originality is an plus with Uranus, so expect it to help you with innovative ideas and new understandings of what will enhance your goals.

GEMINI-(May 21-June 20)

This Full Moon takes place in your 12^th house of the past, preparation, cosmic consciousness and institutions.  The changes in this house will produce a turning point in reference to the last Full Moon Eclipse on August 16th 2008.  This is a Fixed Earth Full Moon that responds to practicality and the need for undeniable stability. Uranus at 18 degrees of Pisces is in your 10^th house of career.  It will now go direct and promising some exciting changes in career.  This Uranus is in the process of completing a cycle that started last March. If you are one of the lucky ones, this Full Moon will turn the corner on the issues of the last 3 months.  Others may have to wait until January.

CANCER-(June 21-July 22) 

This Full Moon takes place in your 11^th house of goals where you usually are very steadfast.  This area of your chart is where the changes will take place.  Your friends and group associations may be heading in a new direction as will your goals.  This turns the corner for you when it comes to the Full Moon Eclipse of August 16, 2008.  This is only true for some of us; the rest will have to wait until January.  Uranus in your 9^th house of legal matters, foreign affairs, education and philosophy is about to go direct on November 27, 2008 making the affairs of this house finally go forward.  Things will open up and there will be more excitement in the air.

LEO-(July 23-August 22)

This Full Moon takes place in your 10^th house of career and standing in the community. 

This is the area where the changes take place.  This is also a turning point for the Full Moon Eclipse of August 16, 2008.  For some of us this will be a turning point and for others, it will go on until January. There is really no way to tell.  Uranus is at 18 degrees of Pisces and currently passing through your 8^th house of other people’s money and partnership finances, sex, death and taxes.  You may have noticed that issues concerning these matters have unexpectedly arisen.   Uranus will now be turning direct on November 27^th and issues of this house will be going forward. This has a way of shifting the energy around you.  

VIRGO-(August 23-September 22)

This Full Moon lands in your 9^th house of legal matters, education, foreign affairs and philosophy.  This forms a trine to your rising, transiting Saturn and transiting Jupiter and indicates how beneficial this will be for you. This Full Moon relates directly to the challenges of the Full Moon Eclipse of August 16, 2008.  This is a turning point in reference to those issues.  Uranus is transiting your 7^th house of partnerships lately putting relationships on an emotional roller coaster.   The ride will not end but things do calm down as Uranus goes direct and completes a cycle that started last March.  You may find 7^th house issues a bit challenging.

LIBRA-(September 23-October 22)

This Full Moon is in the 8^th house of partnership finances, other people’s money, sex, death and taxes.  For some this will be a turning point for issues that started in September and for others the issues will continue until January.  You and the Shadow are the only ones who know.   These changes have to do with money, not your personal money, but money from others.  Uranus, the planet of the unexpected, has been traveling through your 6^th house of health and everyday work. This November 27^th Uranus will go direct and you will notice an increase in freedom and diversity.  More freedom and good times seem to open up.

SCORPIO-(October 24-November 22)

This Full Moon takes place in your 7^th house of partnerships.  You will notice changes in this area of your life.  Some situation you have been dealing with since August 16, is now reaching a turning point and this requires a change in your direction when it comes to partnership.  This can either be business or personal.  At the same time you will notice that transiting Uranus is going to go direct on November 27^th in your 5^th house of children, creativity and love affairs.  This is a cycle that has been in effect since March and now you will be seeing some forward movement in that area also. 

SAGITTARIUS-(November 22-December 21)

This Full Moon takes place in your 6^th house of everyday work and health.  This is directly connected to the Full Moon Eclipse on August 16, of this last year.  The issues from that time are about to reach a turning point for some, enabling you to lessen your direct attention to those issues and reap some rewards.  Uranus is turning direct on November 27, 2008 in your 4^th house of home and core issues, and completing a cycle that started in March of this year.  This is where you should start to see some interesting and unexpected issues of the home start to resolve.

CAPRICORN-(December 22-January 19)

This Full Moon takes place in your 5^th house of children, creativity and love affairs.  If you go back to August 16, 2008, you will realize that certain situations involving partnerships were challenging at the time.   Now with this Full Moon in Taurus, you have managed to navigate this period adeptly.  This Full Moon is in trine to your rising from the 5^th house enabling you to manifest whatever you needed.  Creativity, children and love affairs are the areas where the changes will take place. Uranus, soon to move in a forward direction, has brought many unexpected changes to your 3^rd house of community and communication.  Now that it will be direct, you will notice that those 3^rd house issues will be moving forward.

AQUARIUS-(January 20-February 19)

This Full Moon takes place in the 4^th house of home and core issues.  This is also the turning point for the last Full Moon Eclipse of August 16, 2008.  This forms a fixed T square with the empty leg in Leo, your 7^th house of partnerships.  There will be much attention given to partnerships because of the T square.  The Full Moon in your 4^th house also spells out beginnings and endings in your home life or core issues. You are actually pushing hard for something to happen. Uranus is going to start going direct on November 27^th, completing a cycle that started in March and has everything to do with your personal finances. 

PISCES-(February 20-March 20)

This Full Moon takes place in your 3^rd house of community and communications. There will be changes that take place in your 3^rd house that directly relate back to the challenges you were experiencing around the Full Moon Eclipse of August 16, 2008.  For some of us this will be a turning point and for others, they will have to go the distance until late January. Uranus is about to go direct on November 27, 2008. It bring some issues from March to the forefront of your life.  These issues are all about who you are and how you want the world to see you.  You should start to feel a new freedom from your old life and maybe a little anxiety about the unknown future.  You have achieved a new you.

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.

Greetings, Fellow Star Gazers… 

As you know, life is happening in leaps and bounds.  This month’s Full Moon will not be an exception.  The unexpected is knocking at your door.  Uranus, the planet of freedom and spontaneity, is at the heart of this Full Moon.  Look to the house Aquarius rules and you will find the jewel of this moon.  Jupiter has already gone direct and you may have noticed that much has happened to ensure your expansion in your Capricorn house.  Pluto is now direct and promises a new power base to manifest in the future.  Mercury will turn retrograde the 24^th of September at 22 degrees of Libra only to revisit the last 31/2 weeks.  Mercury will reexamine the issues you have encountered since September 3^rd of this month and remind you that “all that glitters is not gold.”  Special note, Mars will conjunct that Mercury on the 22^nd and 23^rd promising an impactful conversation. There is also a Mars Venus conjunction in Libra on the 11^th and 12^th of this September providing you with heart throbbing entertainment. Let me revise this last statement.  I have seen Mars Venus conjunct produce incredible one-nighters but I have also seen this combination upset the current applecart for awhile to come.  

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

ARIES-(March 21-April 19)

This Full Moon takes place in your 12^th house of the past and preparation.  If you are spiritual or mediumistic, this Full Moon may offer you some surprises.   The next two weeks will take a new direction with this Uranus conjunct the Full Moon.  Your goals will be highlighted as well as situations and people from the past unexpectedly arriving on the scene.  Saturn, still in your 6^th house, is continuing to restructure your work and health area.  Mars and Venus will conjunct in your 7^th house of partnership…wowie!

One of these will be your next power position. 

GEMINI-(May 21-June 20)

This Full Moon takes place in your 10^th house of career.  Uranus in this sector can be tense as you don’t like things to unexpectedly occur in your career area.  It could also be that you are set free from something uncomfortable in your career.  You still have Saturn redefining your home and core issues which will be in opposition to this Uranus Full Moon.  It sounds like freedom to me….Jupiter in your 8^th house of other people’s money is starting to show financial progress and opportunity for relationships.  Mars and Venus will conjunct in your 5^th house of children, creativity and love affairs beginning a romantic connection for you.  Mars conjunct Mercury on the 22^nd of September will usher in a conversation that requires more time to unravel than you think.  Some issues will be not be resolved until later.  Pluto is now direct now.  The next stop is Capricorn in your 8^th house of partnership funds.  Expect to have a new power position situated in the 8^th house of partnership finances. 

CANCER-(June 21-July 22) 

This Full Moon takes place in your 9^th house of philosophy, legal matters, foreign affairs and higher education.  Uranus plays an important part since it is conjunct the Full Moon.  Look to the house that Uranus rules to get a closer look at what is going on for you.  Uranus seems to rule your 8^th house of partnership finances, in other words, money from others and is taking place in the 9^th house, can this be legal issues about money? Since this is a Full Moon, it will oppose the Sun bringing a finalization to communication issues.  Saturn is still in your 3^rd house redefining your community and communication.

This Full Moon takes place in your 2^nd house of personal values, finances and love.  Uranus conjunct the Full Moon seems to indicate an unexpected conclusion to what you thought was going to happen. This can be in relation to finances and a special someone.  Mars and Venus conjunct on the 11^th and 12^th of September suggesting that a problem or new situation has been ignited.  Mars continues its transit thru your 9^th house and conjuncts with Mercury as it goes retrograde.  This is a beginning of a situation that will need attention and careful scrutiny.  You may even have a change of heart by the time it is all over.  Saturn is currently transiting your 8^th house of partnership finances and other people’s money indicating redefining of money you receive from others. Jupiter is currently going direct in your 12^th house of the past and preparation plying you with opportunities and people from the past.  Pluto is direct and heading for Capricorn, your new power position.

PISCES-(February 20-March 20)

This Full Moon takes place in your 1^st house of personality.  Uranus conjunct this Full Moon indicates that you may be ending some situation in an unexpected way.  You could also travel unexpectedly.  Mainly, you are being very spontaneous about everything you contact.  Mars is transiting your 8^th house of other people’s money and partnership finance and conjunct Venus on the 11^th and 12^th.   This is indicating some situation has arisen that requires reevaluating before anything is decided. Mars continues its journey into the 8^th house to next conjunct with Mercury as it turns retrograde.  This indicates some snags and delays and heated words could be bantered about.  Just know that this will be rectified and turn out positive, but it may take 3 weeks or more.  Saturn still transiting your 7^th house of partnership is redefining what you desire in a partnership.  Jupiter direct in your 11^th house of hopes and wishes offers new opportunities to manifest your dreams.

Until the Next New Moon   Mary MacLean

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.

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)
This Full Moon on June 18, 2008 at 27 degrees of Sagittarius falls in your 7th house of partnership.  This Full Moon will bring in a change in partnership that you have probably been expecting for some time.  Well, here it is, you are experiencing a definitely intense time but willing to go the distance for what you want.  Saturn is still proceeding in your 4th house of home and core issues reaffirming new concepts and ideas you want to incorporate into your life.  Jupiter is retrograde in your 8th house of partnership resources and promises expansion in this area.  Uranus is in your 10th house bringing career freedom quite unexpectedly.  Your creativity is in full swing and begging to be utilized and expressed.  Don’t hold back; try to do something creative everyday.

The Full Moon on June 18, 2008 at 27 degrees of Sagittarius takes place in your 6th house of everyday work and health.  Is it possible that there is some change in your day-to-day work?  If not work, then the other option is in your health.  This Full Moon should be looked at as a conclusion to some situation that opened your eyes about 2 weeks ago and has actually been on your mind for awhile.  This closes a door and opens other possibilities.  Saturn is still moving forward in your 3rd house of communication and community.  Jupiter is retrograde in your 7th house of partnership opening your options for partnerships on a myriad of different levels.

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 Full Moon on June 18th, 2008 at 27 degrees of Sagittarius lands in your 4th house of home and core issues.  With Pluto involved, this has the possibility of being intense. The 4th house is more than just your home, it is the core of you: what and who you really are.  This Full Moon may indicate a completion of a project in the home but think of it also as a completion of a project of personal growth.  Whatever you manifest in your home, you will manifest the same activity on a personal core issue.  Saturn still is moving forward in your 1st house redefining how you look to the outside world.  Jupiter is retrograde in your 5th house of children and creativity promising an increase in this area of your life.

LIBRA-(September 23-October 22)
This Full Moon on June 18th, 2008 at 27 degrees of Sagittarius lands in your 3rd house of communication and community. This can mean a lot of movement for you if you are in the mood for a short distance trip. 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)
This Full Moon on June 18th, 2008 at 27 degrees of Sagittarius is conjunct transiting Pluto, your ruling planet.  This combustion lands in your 2nd house of love and money indicating a change in your finances or love affairs.  This is a conclusion to what you have been working on for the last couple of weeks and forms a trine to Pluto in your 2nd house by the end of the month. 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.

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.

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.
