I know by the aspects this will be a Fixed Full Moon.  There seems to be more than one hot spot to explore.  The Full Moon is at 3 degrees of Aquarius and the house placement will tell the tale of where the changes will take place in your chart.  This takes place in my 4^th house of home, but interestingly enough I have Pluto at 5 degrees of Leo, so this FM will be in opposition to this point in my personal chart.  This Full Moon announces another change in my home due to career objectives.  I seem to be permanently glued to this computer a little more freedom would be a welcomed change.  Somehow I feel that will not the direction this FM will take.

The next aspect we need to explore is a Cardinal T Square between transiting Saturn, Pluto and Uranus. Transiting Mars follows exactly after the FM and begins its transit with a conjunction to a Saturn Uranus opposition on July 30, and 31, 2010 and square to transiting Pluto square Jupiter a few days later on Aug. 3, 2010.    When I think of a Cardinal T- Square I think of energy building.  The energy of a Cardinal T- Square is funneled into the empty area of the chart that would complete a Grand Cardinal Cross.  The energy of this Cardinal T-square seems to focus on 0-3 degrees of Cancer.  To say this will be eventful is an understatement.  These aspects direct mucho energy to Cancer 0 – 3 degrees.  This spot in your chart will become a high intensity hot spot.  Find this position and think of how you can use this energy that will be laid in your lap.  Each of us will have a different manifestation of this aspect but you can bet your bottom dollar that it will be important.  If it hits any natal planets, it will be more potent.  It hits three of my natal planets.  My life has not been dull lately.

I have a family reunion due on August 7, 2010 with 30 relatives coming from all over the U.S.  This is my Cardinal Cross…  Cancer is the sign of nurturing and family.  My moon is at 4 degrees of Cancer.  Can you see this in your minds eye? 

Mercury will be going retrograde in August at Aug. 20^th 2010.  It retrogrades back to 5 degrees of Virgo sending us back to August 1^st in retrograde time.  Things that you would like to do on Aug. 18^th are delayed. It seems that you and I may have gotten ahead of ourselves a bit.  On September 11^th, 2010 Mercury will go direct with new and more defined communications. 

Jupiter has gone retrograde on July 22, 2010 giving you an opportunity to examine the growth you have added to your life and make adjustments before going direct November 18, 2010.

Uranus has already turned retrograde and will be direct on December 6, 2010.  Jupiter and Uranus have been conjunct recently only to give you an indication of what the future holds….when they meet again at 26 degrees of Pisces on January 1^st to the 3^rd 2011.  The only difference is it will happen in a mutable water sign.  (allowing change to take place)

I need to send a special Thank you to Pamela in St. Charles, IL. for sending me the easiest and I must say “classy ideas for entertaining a crowd.  “I am Italian also.”  I married a Scotsman.

Because of this reunion, I will have limited time at the New Moon, so I have decided to double up this month and include the New Moon for August 10, 2010.  I will also double up on my subscriptions, so expect a long email…..Things should be back to normal for the Full Moon on August 24, 2010, I hope.  I have learned not to take anything for granted lately.

New Moon at 17 degrees of Leo on August 10, 2010

This New Moon takes place at 17 degrees of Leo, the sign of the King, lion, or adored one.  You know what I mean.  This brings new and exciting fire energy to this belabored Cardinal Cross.  This by the way is still active at this time.  It is moving off but moving slowly.  It still is in orb and holding on whenever and wherever it can.  There was a strong energy with that Cardinal Cross and can still be holding on.  This New Moon is Fixed Fire and makes no aspect.  Don’t let that fool you; fixed fire is energetic and unyielding.  Where ever Leo is in your Chart is where the new challenges appear.  17 degrees of Leo takes place in my 11^th house of goals, friends and wishes this may be a time to reprioritize my coming events.

If you have any planets in Fire signs this will be opportunistic for you as they will require no effort for you to accomplish anything.  If you have planets that are Fixed at 17 degrees, ex; Aquarius, Scorpio, Taurus, you will need strength and determination to accomplish things.

Mercury goes retrograde on Aug. 20^th 2010.

I have lots of dear friends in New York and they want me to come for a visit before my daughter has her baby.  I want to be so-o-o-o available for this baby and my baby, so the conflict is “Do I have time to go?” Maybe I can go for just a week in September as Mercury goes direct.  Julianna is my youngest and I have been empty nesting for a long time.  I just mentioned to my husband, Don, that I really enjoy having Julianna and Marcel living here as it makes me feel like a MOM again.  We both agreed this is such a good feeling.  This New Moon is all about friends and goals.  I do think I will be making plans to go to visit my New York posse.  

Venus enters Libra on August 7^th, 2010.  Love can enter the picture as Venus rules Libra and Libra is the sign of relationships. Love is in the air.  Venus makes a conjunction with Mars on August 19, 20, and 21^st.  These are special days.

Just a note:  Venus will be going retrograde in Scorpio on October 8^th, 2010. This only happens when Mars has gone retrograde every 2 ½ years.  The retrograde takes place at 13 degrees of Scorpio and returns to 27 degrees of Libra.  This tells me that you may have a change of plans or a repeat of your Sept. 5^th day when Venus goes direct. The first time that Venus hits 27 degrees of Libra comes in on September 5^th, 2010.   Important date.

Now that your brain is totally out of focus I will leave you with much dismay.  I love this blog and I hope that you will comment back on this page.  I have opened the comments up so that you may have your say.   Enjoy life, and love, love, love. 

These aspects are transits and will not take your natal planets into consideration.  They are helpful none the less.  They will happen to everyone but not in the same area of life.  If you like this addition please let me know.  The transits with an asterisk are mega important.

A need to break out of routines can surface during this transit. You may feel rebellious, restless and extremely frustrated in areas in your life that up until now felt safe and secure. It is best not to follow this instinct to break away, but to reassess your life carefully. Recognize that the intensity of the feeling is simply caused by changes within yourself that have suddenly emerged. Once you have put some of these changes into action within the areas of concern, you may not need to make such radical changes to the structures.

Life is challenging during this transit, as you are required to move out of your comfort zone and incorporate change. As a result you may be forced to take a deep look at yourself and those around you. You feel as though you are stepping into unknown territory, and this can be frightening. However, take comfort in the thought that by the end of this period you will have been stripped of a lot of excess baggage, which can be actually quite rejuvenating.

Issues of power. Personal power/magnetism. Determination. Decision. Revealing the inner self. Body communication. Biological forces. Sexual acceptance. Sharing and trust. Financial power used without resistance.

Let’s talk about the Full Moon at 6 degrees of Sagittarius…..If you have any planets that are at 6 degrees of Virgo, Gemini, or Pisces you will be busy.  This is a point when decisions you have made in the past come home to roost.  You may be repeating what ever you were doing in October of 2009.  This is all about change and moving forward.  You may feel like you are walking in mud 2 ft. deep. This is the way of all planets going direct or retrograde.  Saturn is turning direct and you will be on the path of your choosing. Decisions you have made in December of 2009, January of 2010 and February of 2010 will now start to move forward.  In the process Saturn is opposing Uranus and Jupiter, ending some matters and offering hope for new avenues to follow. 

Mars is going to oppose Neptune on the 3^rd of June which is classic for no self confidence.  Be aware.  Mars opposes Chiron in Pisces after opposing Neptune adding nothing to your confidence level.  This seems to represent struggles that are more internal than external. 

You will find that your comfort level and the fear of change is what are keeping you from taking any new risks.  Once you are ready to accept any challenges that come with the choices your making the decisions will be easy.  This is a mutable T-square that shows you where changes need to be made.  Should I or shouldn’t I, that is the question.

Check the aspects that this Full Moon makes in your Natal chart to reveal where the solutions lay.

Well folks, this has been an intense couple of weeks.  Saturn has been in opposition to Uranus and Jupiter…This is a time of endings for all of us but I think the hardest part of all of this is the waiting.  Saturn is a delayer and he slows down to turn direct, so just like Mars and Mercury you feel like you are waiting for water to boil and it never does.  Saturn is turning direct on May 30, 2010 and the house that holds Saturn by transit will be affected. (Virgo)  In Astrology time it is actually October 1, 2009 and situations from that period are back and now about to move forward.  So think back to Oct.1, 2009, what was your main focus?   Take a look at where transiting Saturn is in your natal chart.  That is the area of your life that has been under redefinition for the last 2 ½ years.  That’s the cycle that is ending.  The Uranus Jupiter conjunction is well on its way and at this time it is in opposition to that transiting Saturn.  You know its coming but you are anxious about what is next.  You may have experienced emotional outbreaks or situations that you are not able to resolve at the moment.  The magic word is SURRENDER.

Mercury is direct and in Taurus a stabilizing force if you have any planets in Capricorn, or Virgo.  Just a note:  if you are missing any one of the groups of planets in a certain element.  (Earth, Air, Water, Fire) For instance; you may not have any earth planets.

You will over-compensate for whatever element is missing.  No earth planets will give the illusion of a person with an over-abundance of earth planets.  You will notice the practical, structured, organized and meticulous parts of his or her personality stand out.   

 Venus is at 9 degrees of Cancer just passing an opposition to Pluto on May 23, 2010.  Venus has always had a way of dramatizing everything when ever it contacts Pluto.  

Jupiter is at 27 degrees of Pisces in exact opposition to Saturn from the 18^th thru the 24^th of May and you may feel like there are some limitations and/or obligations you need to attend to.  Jupiter is also on its way to conjunct Uranus on June 6^th, 2010.  This will be close to the Saturn opposition but far enough away to not have a strong effect.  This is expansion personified when it conjuncts Uranus.  This takes place in Aries and you should take note of where Aries is in you chart.  This is where the expansion is taking place.  It enables you take some risks that pay off down the road, lets say in Jan…of 2011. 

Uranus stays at 0 degrees of Aries until July 5, 2010 then goes retrograde to 26 degrees of Pisces and goes direct on December 6^th 2010 to resolve issues that are evolving now.  

Jupiter goes into Aries on June 6^th and goes retrograde on July 23, 2010 at 3 degrees.  This retrograde period will last until November 18, 2010 and it will return to 23 degrees of Pisces.   This will also resolve issues that started at the end of April, 2010. 

Mars is going to enter Virgo on June 7^th 2010 and starts to take a pragmatic look at what is going on around us.  As Mars enters Virgo you start to make plans and if you have any planets in Virgo this will be some very important new beginnings.  This will solidify what you have been going thru and hoping for the last 2 ½ years.

Pluto is currently at 4 degrees of Capricorn and retrogrades until September 14, 2010, when it will go forward from 2 degrees of Capricorn.   If you have any planets in Capricorn or Cancer, Libra or Aries, from 2 degrees until 5 degrees, there will be a lot of changes in your life.  Pluto transforms something that is not working to something that is new and will work better for you. Check the position of Capricorn in your natal chart as that is the house that is being transformed.

This is an interesting Full Moon as it involves many cycles.  The FM itself is in opposition to the Sun (naturally) but also isin an inferior conjunction to Mercury.   The inferior conjunction of the Sun and Mercury involves the cycle of the retrograde Mercury.  This is when certain insights come to light.  Along with the FM being a conclusion to some issues, the Mercury conjunction to the Sun offers a new insight. 

The FM takes place in a certain house in your personal chart.  The house harboring the FM is where the life is affected or changes take place.  For each of you the house will be different as it depends on your exact time of date and time of birth and place of birth. 

I saw that Mars is at 11 degrees of Leo in square to the Moon and Sun issues, forming a Fixed T- square.  If you have planets in early Aquarius it becomes a Grand Fixed Cross.  The only advice I can give you is surrender……as soon as possible.  Control becomes an issue.  If you haven’t noticed the stress level for all of us has been accentuated.  In some area of our lives we may feel like we have lost control.  We know there is no control but somehow we shield ourselves from that overwhelming feeling.  Not so now. There are areas that are blaring “You have no control “. There are those of us that deal well with this feeling but I do not excel in this area.  The Mercury retrograde is somewhat to blame but unfortunately life is serving a larger part of this pie.  

The transiting Saturn and Uranus opposition does tend to put us in awkward positions but it also lessens the load.  This is something to think about when this opposition hits.  Saturn is in the last degrees of Virgo and Uranus is in the last degrees of Pisces.  This situation has been here before in September of 09, so it won’t be a stranger when it hits.  I feel like it has been slowly approaching and creating a certain amount of stress also.  Each of us will experience this at a different time according to the moon trigger, but it will be some time around the FM.

This Full Moon takes place in Libra at 9 degrees.  Whatever house this FM takes place in is where you will experience changes.  This is very important as it conjuncts transiting Saturn squares transiting Pluto and confirms a change. 

     There are two major sextiles that take place during this FM.  One is a sextile between transiting North Node and transiting Jupiter opening up opportunities in your current soul choice of career.

     The second sextile takes place between transiting Mercury conjunct Venus and transiting Neptune conjunct Chiron.  This combination offers opportunities from groups and communications with friends.  It is all about you being assertive.

       Transiting Saturn is coming into opposition with transiting Uranus and foretells of a frustration that is rising but not yet ready to go off.

This is a Cardinal T square and provides a lot of energy into Cancer…Where is Cancer in your chart as this will be the area that experiences the energy of this Cardinal T-square. This is an assertive Full Moon and has that kind of energy.

      Transiting Mars, now direct, trines the Sun and sextiles transiting Saturn, bringing energy and opportunity together. You will be moving your energy and some issues are about to become passé. 

  This exactly squares the FM of December 31, 2009.  Let’s do a little back tracking up as we enter a previous cycle. We will enter the Eclipse cycle from January 15, 2010 after this FM.  That means we are about to embark on the turning point to January’s eclipse point of 24 degrees Capricorn.  Situations are going to start to show promise and your challenges of  of January 15^th 2010 will be reaching a turning point.  This may not end things but it definitely puts situations in a clear view with new goals.  This Eclipse energy may last until July 11^th, 2010 but you can see the light at the end of the tunnel.

My dear Friend Anna May Cottrell has entered the eternal life of joy and peace.  She has been a dear friend and confidant for the last 40 years and I truly expect that not to change, even though she has entered the infinite dimension of spirit. The creativity of your spirit and your wisdom is present in all your past deeds and creative endeavors, and stands as a monument to your deep caring soul.   

As you know, I am not doing the bi-monthly forecast for the web site.  It was a major commitment with no financial gratification. 

 I enjoyed doing it but recently I have been doing something different.  I have been writing a New Moon and Full Moon forecast for some of my clients using   their individual natal charts.  This has been very rewarding for them and for me. 

I would like to make this service available to you.  I will write the New Moon forecast for your personal natal chart with the addition of how your planets intercede in this process.  I will also include anything vital that happens to affect you by transit.  In essence I will be doing a short personal reading for you bi-monthly. 

The fee for this is $30.00 a month.  If you want a three month involvement, it will be $25.00 a month. A six month involvement would be $20.00 a month.  You can find these options on my pay pal page.

I always say that the New Moon brings in the challenges and the Full Moon resolves them.   This Full Moon does resolve the issues of the last two weeks with an expansion.  How is this possible you say?  Well, for starters, Jupiter has entered Pisces and is about to conjunct the Sun on this Full Moon.  The Full Moon at 9 degrees of Virgo is in exact opposition to this Jupiter Sun conjunction at 9 degrees.  Remember, conjunctions are beginnings and oppositions are endings.  All of this happens in Mutable signs of Virgo and Pisces. (Changes) Expect new opportunities, expansion in some area of your life with new hope for successful endings.

 Mars at 0 degrees of Leo signals the direct motion will start to happen on March 10^th.  The message here is if it hasn’t worked up to now; here is a second chance to change your mind about your direction.

  Jupiter Sun conjunction is confidence.  You are feeling it and you are going for it.  If situations have gone from good to great then this Mars direct will take you from great to astounding.   If situations have gone from good to awlful then this Mars transit will make it possible for you to succeed and  complete your Saturn in Virgo transit this summer. 

My dear friends….

Thank you for your response to my New Moon and Full Moon subscriptions.   I still have 4 openings available for 6 month subscriptions and 3 openings for 3 month subscriptions.   I want to hear from all of you that have subscribed.  I do need feedback to do the best job that I can.

If you have visited my site then you have seen Anna May Cottrell page.  Anna May has been a spiritual guide for me and countless others.  We have traveled this life touching bases at different times.  She is ill but could use all the spiritual healing you can send her.  She will have a demanding surgery on her heart on March 3, 2010.  Please hold her in the light.  She has an indomitable will and as I write this she is in the hospital writing poetry for this site.  She is one of the very good guys.  If you would like to drop her a card she will be at St. Lukes Hospital in Milwaukee, Wisc.

Thank you ahead of time for this healing.

This Full Moon at 10 degrees of Leo has a lot of influence on retrograde Mars in Leo. Mars has taken on the ambiance of Saturn during this transit. As it moves through Leo, it will redefine the house where Leo resides.  These FM conjuncts Mars which may bring a past situation to some conclusion or decision.  Currently, there is a Pluto square Saturn that will be exact on the 30^th of January.  This is a stressful aspect as it requires minute to minute planning.  You must be flexible.  Not all of us will experience this aspect in the same way.  There are mitigating circumstances; what type of aspect do these planets make in your natal chart and in what houses are they situated.  It is definitely movement in your life.  

 I am being affected by this Pluto square Saturn as Pluto opposes my natal Moon at 4 degrees of Cancer and the progressed Sun in the 6^th house of everyday work.  The Moon in my chart rules my 10^th house of career.   As Astrology is my career I have decided to forego writing the individual forecasts for each sign. I will still write the overview for each New Moon and Full Moon and hope that you enjoy it.  I will continue to do personal readings, but in the future, I will not do the forecasts for each ascendant.  I appreciate all of my loyal readers and enthusiasts and hope that you can appreciate the overview just as much as you do the forecasts.  Thank you for your constant support.

 I’m looking at the month of February, 2010 and noting some important issues that have to be mentioned.  Mercury will enter Aquarius on Feb. 10^th 2010, changing your mental vibration from serious to concept thinking.  Your thinking will take on a more creative adventure.  Mars is still retrograde and arrives at 0 degrees on Feb. 28^th , 2010 and spends at least a month at this 0 degree.  Whatever was happening on Oct 17^th, 2009 returns and you get the opportunity to change direction if you want.

Venus in Aquarius makes a conjunction to Neptune on Feb. 7^th, 2010  bringing in love and romance; then Venus enters Pisces on the Feb. 12^th 2010 and changes your money and love affiliation to a more imaginative and/or romantic vibration. 

Jupiter the planet of expansion has just changed signs and has entered Pisces.  Check your chart to see what aspect Jupiter makes in your natal chart, then you will know how it will affect you through your Pisces transit.  Below you will find a quick index to what Jupiter means when you have a certain ascendant.

1.  If you have Pisces on the 1^st house, Jupiter will promote you and expand your horizons.  If you’re not careful, it will also expand your waistband.  

2.  If you have Aries on the 1^st house, Jupiter is transiting the 12^th house and becomes a last minute savior during its transit. 

3.  If you have Taurus on the 1^st house, Jupiter is transiting the 11^th house of goals, hopes, wishes and expansion in this area is a certainty.

4.  If you have Gemini on the 1^st house, Jupiter is transiting your 10^th house of career opening new doors and opportunity.

5.  If you have Cancer on the 1^st  house, Jupiter is transiting your 9^th house increasing your desire for education, philosophy,  directions in law and  foreign affairs.

6.  If you have Leo on the 1^st house, Jupiter is transiting your 8^th house of other people’s money, sex, death and taxes and you can expect that money from others increases. 

7.  If you have Virgo on the 1^st house, Jupiter is transiting your 7^th house of partnership, either business or personal.  You will definitely be dealing with partnership and the general public. The increase improves your image and importance.

8.  If you have Libra on the 1^st house, Jupiter is transiting your 6^th house of everyday work and/or health.  Work issues seem to expand and become solid, while health issues require your attention.

9.  If you have Scorpio on the 1^st house, Jupiter is transiting your 5^th house of children, creativity and love affairs.  Expansion in these areas are important as they have a lot of influence on your day to day life.

10. If you have Sagittarius on the 1^st house, Jupiter is transiting your 4^th house of home and core issues.  This expansion will show up in your home as well as in your soul.

11.  If you have Capricorn on the 1^st house, Jupiter is transiting your 3^rd house of communications and community.  Expansion here can mean more communications or more commuting.

12.  If you have Aquarius on the 1^st house, Jupiter transiting your 2^nd house of personal income and love.   I love this placement.  Lucky  dog, Aquarius.

Saturn is still retrograde and will continue until May 30^th 2010.  During this retrograde you are re-experiencing some issues from the previous October 2009.

Uranus is direct and transiting the 24^th and 25^th degree of Pisces.  Neptune is continuing its transit of Aquarius and performs its magical mystery tour through Aquarius at 25 and 26 degrees.   Pluto is crashing thru the beginning degrees of Capricorn demolishing everything in its way.  Saturn is currently at 4 degrees of Libra in square to any Cardinal sign in early degrees.  So much for the Full Moon and the Cardinal Square.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

I am rewriting this from Chicago so that I don’t miss my deadline.  I thought I wrote this already but when I went to finish it, I could tell that little green men came in the night and changed my article to lots of disconnected thoughts. They even messed up the dates and aspects.  So, here I am, Wednesday, the day before Thanksgiving, rewriting my Full Moon forecast.

As we slip into December, you can tell things are starting to rev up for the holidays.  This Full Moon is at 10 degrees of Gemini, the sign of the Twins.  You will find yourself multi-tasking all over the place.  (Take a minute to realize that some of us are better at this than others).  Venus enters Sagittarius on the 2^nd of December changing your vibration from emotion to ” LET’S PARTAY!”  Mars has taken up residence in the sign of Leo at 17 degrees as of December 1^st and slows down considerably as it prepares to go retrograde on December 20^th.  If you can find the house in your chart that is ruled by Leo, you will find the area of your life in which  all of this is taking place.  “RETROGRADE” means to go back, even though in reality, the planet only looks like it’s going backward.  The truth of the matter is that it is changing in depth as it revolves around the Sun. There have been certain decisions you have made since Oct. 17^th that you will be reviewing and accepting or rejecting during this retrograde period.  Mars stays retrograde until March 10^th, 2010.  Mars always acts like a mini-Saturn during this transit and redefines the house and sign that it occupies.  So expect some changes, maybe little ones or even big ones; it really depends on the placement in the chart and the personal planets that are in aspect.

Uranus goes direct on December 2^nd paving the way for the unexpected to materialize.

Mercury is going retrograde on December 26^th, 2009 until January 15^th, 2010.  The Mercury cycle starts on December 6^th as it enters Capricorn.  When it reaches 5 degrees of Capricorn, it would be wise to journal the next couple of weeks until it goes retrograde on December 26^th at 21 degrees of Capricorn.  Mercury represents communication and when it transits Capricorn, it tends to define things such as plans.  The type of plans that will be redefined is defined by the location of the Constellation of Capricorn in the chart.  Since it doesn’t change signs, there may be a delay or change in your schedule. You will know on December 26^th.

There will be many social events and a general need for all of us to extend a helping hand to everyone who needs assistance.  Look around you. Where can you make a difference in just one person’s life?  Little things mean so much when people don’t have much to be happy about.  This is a time to share love without boundaries, to smile with meaning and to have hope in your heart for all humanity.

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.

ARIES-(MARCH 21-APRIL 19)

This Full Moon takes place in your 3^rd house of communications and community.  You are trying to do 100 things at once and succeeding quite well.  You love this vibration.  This FM brings with it some changes, especially, those that have to do with short distance travel,  brothers and sisters, communications and, last but not least, community.  Earth signs, such as Capricorn, Virgo and Taurus would call this a chaotic period.  Mars is slowing down and preparing to go retrograde in your 5^th house of children, creativity and love affairs.  This is the house that is changing under the pressure of the Mars transit.  Even though this is an uncomfortable time, it will benefit you in the long run.  Remember  Saturn is transiting your 7^th house of partnerships, business or personal, and together these changes can have a great impact on your life.  Partnership issues are definitely a source of contention at this time.  Mercury retrograde will be in your 10^th house of career.  This is the area to look for delays. There will be a powerful Mercury conjunct Pluto on December 7^th that is very meaningful for you.  Uranus will be going direct in your 12^th house opening the doors to the past and unexpected situations.

TAURUS-(APRIL 20-MAY 20)

This Full Moon takes place in your 2^nd house of values (money and love).  These are changes that you don’t want to deal with but deal you must.  Your personal money is on the line and, possibly, a loving relationship.  The last two weeks have been opening the path for you. Mars in your 4^th house of home and core issues is being redefined by the Mars transit and is slowing down to go retrograde on December 20^th, 2009.  You will notice that your moods will not change as fast and situations linger on more than you are used to.  Mercury will conjunct Pluto on December 7, 2009 and announce some important and powerful communications.  This will start the Mercury retrograde cycle for you.  It takes place in your 9^th house of legal matters, philosophy, higher education and foreign affairs.  Affairs of this house will be delayed.  Saturn is now transiting your 6^th house of everyday work and health.  This area will slowly be transformed into a better fit for you in the coming years.

GEMINI-(MAY 21-JUNE 20)

This Full Moon takes place in your 1^st house of personality and appearance.  These are changes in how you appear and possibly in your personality.  This is the area that you should expect changes.  Maybe there is a change in attitude towards partnership or some dealing with the public.  Mars is transiting your 3^rd house of communication and community acting like a mini-Saturn.  It will be slowing down enough to make you want to scream but take the time to think about what you are trying to accomplish in such a hurry. Your charisma is taking you forward to new horizons and new vistas.  Mercury conjuncts Pluto on December 7^th in your 8^th house of partnership resources and produces strong power issues, determination and ambition.  This is also the house where Mercury goes retrograde so don’t expect things to move too quickly after the 26^th of December.  There are opportunities all around. Look forward not back.  I know you will love all the chatter and running around.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22)

This Full Moon takes place in your 12^th house of behind-the-scenes activity, the past and preparation and the unconscious.  You may have found that this is a time of revelation to some of the issues you have been dealing with.  Worries and thoughts of “what if’s” seem to keep you in a constant state of awareness.  Your level of anxiety is high but you love it. Mercury conjuncts Pluto on December 7 in your 7^th house of partnerships starting your Mercury cycle off with a bang.  This is an important day.  Mercury slows down by the 26^th of December and delays some issues that deal with partnerships and general public.  Mars is transiting the 2^nd house of personal money and love and redefining that area in your life.  Mars also slows down to a crawl around the 20^th of December forcing you to deal with some new uncomfortable situations.  This takes place in your 4^th house of home.  These delays are difficult as they happen in angular houses in your chart. (1st, 4th, and 7^th houses)

LEO (JULY 23-AUGUST 22)

This Full Moon takes place in your 11^th house of hopes, wishes and goals.  This is where the changes take place.  You may find that some situations require that you revise your goals to meet current demands that deal with children, creativity and love affairs of the 5^th house.  There is a lot of activity in the 7^th house pushing you in one direction and then another.  You may feel like the ultimate rubber band.  Mars in your 1^st house of personality is driving you to promote your current direction.  It will slow down around the 20^th and allow you to revisit the last two months and move forward.  Mercury will conjunct Pluto on December 7^th in your 6^th house of everyday work and health.  This is a strong communication and very important as it paves the way for you.  This is the beginning of the Mercury cycle for you.  This  slows down and goes retrograde on the 26^th of December.   Saturn in Libra, your 3^rd house, gives you a preview of what is to come in September of 2010.

VIRGO (AUGUST 23-SEPTEMBER 22)

This Full Moon takes place in your 10^th house of career and standing in the community.  There are changes in your career or how people see you.  You may have acquired a new skill or new label. This change benefits your everyday work and health house.  Mars transiting your 12^th house of the past and unconscious is acting like a mini-Saturn asking you to look closer at the past and decide what baggage is expendable and what is relevant.  This can take awhile so don’t rush.  You will be able to let go of current emotional baggage that keeps you from the Promised Land.   Saturn is not finished with you yet, as it re-enters Virgo on April 8^th, 2010 to conclude its final transit on July 23^rd, 2009.  This period gives you an indication of where you are going and a preview of Saturn in Libra.  Take advantage of this look into the future.  Mercury will conjunct Pluto in your 5^th house starting with a powerful conversation on December 7^th followed by the Mercury retrograde cycle.  Expect delays in this area and, especially, watch December 26^th for delays to show up.

LIBRA (SEPTEMBER 23-OCTOBER 22)

This Full Moon takes place in your 9^th house of legal matters, education, philosophy and foreign affairs.  These changes take place in the 9^th house which is a mental house as well as the 3^rd house.  This may be a change in attitude as well as any of the above mentioned areas. Mars is transiting your 11^th house of goals, hopes and wishes.  This Mars cycle will re-define this area as it takes on the ambition of a mini- Saturn.  This will take until March 10, 2010.  Watch December 20^th 2009 for you to internalize some of your decisions up to this point.  Mercury will conjunct Pluto in your 4^th house of home and core issues beginning a Mercury cycle that starts off with some powerful communication. This Mercury will go retrograde on the 26^th of December and promises some delays when it comes to situations on the home front.  Saturn now transiting your 1^st house gives you an indication of what is to come in July and September of 2010.  As Saturn returns to Virgo on April 8^th 2010, it will revisit the issues of October and November of 2009.

SCORPIO (OCTOBER 24-NOVEMBER 22)

This Full Moon takes place in your 8^th house of partnership resources, other people’s money, sex, death and taxes.   This sounds like it could be ominous but, in reality, it can be as simple as incoming money changes.  This is not necessarily good or bad, just a change.  Mercury is going to conjunct Pluto on December 7^th beginning a new Mercury cycle in your 3^rd house of communications and community.  This can also involve brothers and sisters and short distance travel.  More than likely, it will all be about communications.  Mercury goes retrograde on December 26^th, 2009 and promises delays in 3^rd house matters.  Mars in all its glory is transiting your 10^th house of career redefining this area of your chart.  Mars will go retrograde on December 20^th promising a retrospect of the last 2 months.  This is going to act like a mini-Saturn so expect some review and redefining.  Saturn is in Libra giving you an indication of what is coming in July and September of 2010.  It will return to Virgo to complete some unresolved issues on April 10^th, 2010.

SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER 22-DECEMBER 21)

This Full Moon takes place in your 7^th house of partnership (business or personal).  There will be changes in partnerships but, in case you were wondering, they are necessary.   Venus is entering your 1^st house and brings much fun and party time.  Mercury is conjunct Pluto on December 7^th in your 2^nd house of personal finances and love.  This is a powerful communication about money that is important and starts off the Mercury cycle.  Mercury will go retrograde on December 26^th so expect some delays.  Mars is transiting the 9^th house of legal matters, philosophy, higher education and foreign affairs.  As the transit continues, it is being re-defined by Mars acting like a mini-Saturn.  Mars will go retrograde on December 20^th promising certain changes in the 9^th house. Saturn has entered your 11^th house of goals, hopes and wishes giving you an indication of what is to come in July and August of 2010.

CAPRICORN (DECEMBER 22-JANUARY 19)

This Full Moon takes place in your 6^th house of everyday work and health.  There may be changes in either, or both, of these areas of your life.  Look for new opportunities and changes in existing plans at work.  Mercury conjuncts Pluto in your 1^st house of personality and appearance and you can have an important communication that shines the light on you and your personality.  You will be seen as someone to be reckoned with. This starts off the Mercury cycle for you.  On December 26^th Mercury will go retrograde and you may be some unwanted delays that you encounter.  Mars is transiting your 8^th house of partnership resources, other people’s money, sex, death and taxes and continues to promise a redefinition of this area of your life.  Mars will go retrograde on December 20^th so expect delays here also.  Saturn has entered Libra, your 10^th house of career and standing in the community.  You may have been feeling as if career matters need to be revised and, actually, that is what will be going on in the next 2 ½ years. The period between now and April 8^th will give you an indication of what is coming in July and August of 2010. Meanwhile, the period from April 10^th 2010 to July 2010 is a final resolution to Saturn in Virgo.

AQUARIUS (JANUARY 20-FEBRUARY 19)

This Full Moon takes place in your 5^th house of children, creativity and love affairs.  Expect changes in this area, especially, in the next week.  This will be the culmination of some challenges you received two weeks ago.  Mercury will conjunct Pluto in your 12^th house of behind-the-scenes activity, the past and the unconscious promising a powerful realization or communication.  Mercury will be going retrograde on December 26^th, so expect some upsets and delays.  Mars is transiting the 7^th house of partnerships (business or personal) and promises a re-defining of this area of the life. This redefinition is going to help you, not hinder you.  This is important as it will enable you to get the most out of the Saturn in Libra transit.  Saturn transiting Libra at this time gives you the indication of what will transpire in July and August of 2010.  Venus just entering Sagittarius is promising some fun party times.

PISCES (FEBRUARY 20-MARCH 20)

This Full Moon takes place in your 4^th house of home and core issues promising changes in these areas.  You can change your mind about anything, even your attitude.  Uranus is still in your 1^st house and going direct putting unexpected adventure in your path.  Communications seem to light up the career sector of your life. As Mercury continues on its path, it conjuncts Pluto in your 11^th house of goals, hopes and wishes.  This is a powerful and hopefully positive communication but Mercury will be going retrograde on December 26^th, so expect delays.  Mars is transiting your 6^th house of everyday work and health promising redefining by a Mars-like mini-Saturn.  This is important as it will help you focus in on the Saturn in Libra transit. Mars also goes retrograde on December 20^th allowing you to revise and review the last 2 months of events.  Saturn in Libra at this time will give you an indication of what is coming in July and August of 2010.

  This Full Moon is at 10 degrees of Taurus and is part of a Grand Fixed Cross.  This happens when there are four planets in fixed signs in square to each other.  If you look at the chart for the Full Moon, you will see that Jupiter, Chiron and Neptune square the Full Moon at 10 degrees of Taurus.  Mars in Leo is in square to the Sun and Mercury in Scorpio.  The Elements in Astrology are Fire, Earth, Air, and Water.  Each Element governs three constellations.

Fire                        Earth                    Air                             Water 

Action                  Practical                Intellectual               Emotional

Aries                     Taurus               Gemini                     Cancer

Leo                       Virgo                  Libra                        Scorpio

Sagittarius             Capricorn           Aquarius                   Pisces

The Elements are 120 degrees apart forming a classic Trine aspect. Each of these Elements (Fire, Earth, Air and Water) contains another important sub-division. This is where the constellations are divided into the modalities of Cardinal, Fixed and Mutable.

 Cardinal signs have beginning energy. They are the initiators of Astrology

 Fixed signs have the ability to withstand tremendous amounts of pressure and continue to endure.

Mutable signs contain the desire and ability for change.  

If they are in a 90 degree relationship with each other they form a square.

 For instance;

       (90 degrees)           (90 degrees)      (90 degrees)

  Fire                     Earth                       Air                      Water          Modality

Aries                 Capricorn                  Libra               Cancer               Cardinal

Leo                    Taurus                     Aquarius         Scorpio               Fixed 

Sagittarius           Virgo                      Gemini           Cancer                Mutable

Back to this Full Moon in Taurus…this setup speaks of pressure and where-ever the FM takes place will be the area where this pressure is felt.    This is also the area that will incur changes.  Venus with her bright shining light radiates her social intensity in a grand trine to transiting Neptune, Chiron and Jupiter.  Situations of a more immediate nature are more socially oriented than usual.  You are on a precipice and you know it.  Which way to go?  How will it turn out? These are looming questions for you at this point.  Transiting Saturn is squaring Transiting Pluto and, this alone, will relieve some stress by the end of the month.

The anxieties that you feel now are because of the transitions you are about to face in the next 6 months.  Saturn is leaving Virgo and is now in Libra.  It will return to Virgo to complete some unfinished business but not until April of 2010.  You are preparing for that last transit of Saturn in Virgo to complete this cycle.  Mars in Leo is actually more important on a daily basis because it is laying the foundation for what is to come in April.   This is the true ending of Saturn in Virgo and of the promise of completion of some long held goals. 

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

ARIES-(March 21-April 19)

This Full Moon takes place in your 2^nd house of values and personal finances.  This is the mainstay of pressure for you.  You may be looking at your personal finances and trying to maintain a modicum of sanity as finances or relationships are dark clouds that loom in the future. Your ingenuity and resourcefulness are being stretched to the maximum.   This is the reason for the pressure.   In order to grow you must reach beyond our normal limitations to grow.  Partnership issues are easy and can be romantic.  Mars is transiting your 5^th house of creativity and redefining this area to prepare you for the Saturn in Libra transit.

TAURUS-(April 20-May 20)

This Full Moon takes place in your 1^st house of personality and how others see you.  The physical you has had some changes and continues to change as time goes on.  You are projecting new personality traits that may shock you or the people close to you.  Since all of this is taking place in your angular houses of 1^st, 4^th, 7^th and 10^th ,your everyday life is intensely affected.  Venus in your 6^th house of everyday work is claiming a victory in achieving a long held goal.  Mars in Leo in your 4^th house of home and core issues is taking on the role of headmaster and taking full control.  

GEMINI-(May 21-June 20)

This Full Moon takes place in your 12^th house of behind-the-scenes activity, the past and the subconscious.  Changes in your thinking or situations from the past seem to be the pressure that is permeating your consciousness. This can have to do with the anticipation of future changes due to some unforeseen circumstances.  Mars in Leo in your 3^rd house of communication and community is taking charge and redefining this area of your life.  Saturn entering your 5^th house tells me that your creative mind and issues that deal with children are the objects of your future concern.   Preparing for these challenges is the basis for your anxiety.  Venus in her social way has provided you with delightful thoughts and visions of the possibilities to come.   Saturn will be squaring Pluto this month and some pressures will be lifted.

CANCER-(June 21-July 22)

This Full Moon takes place in your 11^th house of hopes, wishes and goals.  Some issues have been solved for you but this is by no means the end of it.  It may be that you are pressured into changing some of your goals or wishes temporarily in order to overcome some pending obstacles.  Personal finances and the values that you hold so dear are demanding your full and undivided attention. Saturn entering Libra will be in a cardinal square to your ascendant and many core observations and changes will be marked for redefinition in these next 2 ½ years.  Transiting Saturn is also in a square to transiting Pluto forcing you to make the necessary changes in your life that will ensure the future.  Transiting Venus in the 4^th house makes a generous trine to transiting Neptune, Chiron and Jupiter bringing some delightful news about finances coming your way.   

LEO-(July 23-August 22)

This Full Moon takes place in your 10^th house of career and standing in the community.  The changes in this sector are always of major concern because career is an integral part of who you are.  Changes in this area alter the way society sees you.  If you add some new skill to your list of accomplishments or if you discontinue a skill for some reason your career persona will be measured by that action.    This FM has brought you some uncompromising positions that affect almost every area of your life.  Mars transiting your 1^st house of personality has put you out in the open doing self promotion.   This is very necessary for your future endeavors.  Transiting Saturn squaring transiting Pluto adds pressure to the current situation by pushing you to accomplish certain goals that will affect you on a daily basis.  All is not bad as transiting Venus in your 3^rd house of communications and community trine transiting Neptune, Chiron and Jupiter in your 7^th house of partnerships.  This can be seen as a major celebration or a major event.    

VIRGO-(August 23-September 22)

This Full Moon takes place in your 9^th house of philosophy, legal matters, foreign affairs and higher education.  There are changes taking place in this house that have been putting a lot of mental pressure on you.   Some emotional issues have been slowly inching into your conscious mind.  This is not something that you can deactivate as it is sparked by your own emotional past.  These issues have a way of surfacing and engaging you in your day to day life.  Awareness is your only colleague in this quest.   Transiting Saturn is in square to transiting Pluto pushing for changes in your everyday life.  Mars in your 12^th house of behind-the-scenes activities, the past, preparation and institutions will be redefining this area for you in the next 6 months.   Transiting Venus in your 2^nd house of personal finances delights you with its trine to transiting Neptune, Chiron and Jupiter in your 6^th house of everyday work and health insuring some personal financial goals.

LIBRA-(September 23-October 22)

This Full Moon takes place in your 8^th house of partnership finances, sex, death and taxes.  Other people’s money, such as, mortgages, insurance and partnership resources, will sustain some changes during this Full Moon. The stress you have been under has to do with your personal finances, your creative ability to make things happen and your financial reality.   Money that you receive from others or partnership funds is about to change.   Transiting Saturn is squaring transiting Pluto from the 1^st house to the 4^th house, creating a tremendous pressure for you to make personal changes that will impact your home or core issues within the next month.  There does seem to be a tinkle of liberation and romantic involvement as Venus, your ascendant ruler, is trining Neptune, Chiron and Jupiter in the 5^th house of love affairs.  Mars in your 11^th house is in the process of redefining your goals hopes and wishes for the next 6 months. 
 SCORPIO-(October 24-November 22)

This Full Moon takes place in your 7^th house of partnerships. (Business or Personal) This is an interesting placement for the Full Moon as it intensifies in an angular house.  You may be involved in modifying or ending some association that has been a thorn in your side.  This is the Fixed Cross on your chart angles that makes things just a little more anxious.  Mars is transiting your 10^th house of career and redefining this area in the next 6 months.  Career is up in the air and for you this is not a comfortable reality.  Transiting Saturn in the 12^th house is squaring transiting Pluto in the 3^rd house revealing that some issues from the past need resolution thru communication and community on a conscious basis.  Venus performs her magic in the 12^th house of the past and triple trines Neptune, Chiron and Jupiter in the 4^th house of home allowing you a secluded time for social  and romantic interactions.

 SAGITTARIUS-(November 22-December 21)

This Full Moon takes place in your 6^th house of everyday work and/or health matters.  There may be some issues that have held your constant attention when it comes to your everyday work.  Changes here can seem to have an impact on your daily work.  This can also be a period of nondescript activity that leaves you constantly waiting for the other shoe to drop.  Mars is transiting your 9^th house of philosophy, legal matters, foreign affairs and higher education in order to redefine your higher aspirations. This will take the next 6 months.  Transiting Saturn in your 11^th house of goals is forming a square to transiting Pluto in your 2^nd house of personal finances intensifying your goals for personal finances during this next month.  Venus in all her beauty is trining Jupiter, Chiron and Neptune in your 3^rd house of communication and community.   Celebrations abound.    

CAPRICORN-(December 22-January 19)

This Full Moon takes place in your 5^th house of children, creativity and love affairs.  The changes in this house can be varied, however, they hold an important place in your life.  If you are dealing with creativity, this is a perfect time to reinvent yourself.  Mars in your 8^th house of partnership finances, sex, death and taxes will be performing major redefining of this house.  This means you will be looking for  new ways to make money.  Transiting Saturn is forming a square to transiting Pluto from your 10^th house of career to your 1^st house of personality making your day-to-day life an exercise in stamina.  Venus in your 10^th house seems to be showering you with abundance when it comes to money.

AQUARIUS-(January 20-February 19)

This Full Moon takes place in your 4^th house of home and core issues.  Again, we see that this fixed cross is involved with the angles of your chart intensifying the pressure.  Changes seem to come from the home and, of course, your inner core.  These changes may not be easy for you as your chart has fixed signs on all the angles.  Mars is transiting your 7^th house of partnerships asking you to redefine your partnerships enabling you to move forward in your everyday life.  Pluto in your 12^th house will ask you to delve deep into the past and transform any negative belief system to something that will serve you better at this time in your life.  Transiting Saturn is forming a square to this Pluto from the 9^th house of philosophy, legal matters, foreign affairs and higher education stretching your ability to become more aware on a daily basis.   Venus in her quest for beauty makes a glorious trine to Jupiter, Neptune and Chiron in your 1^st house of personality enabling you to look and be received as God’s gift to humanity. 

PISCES-(February 20-March 20)

This Full Moon takes place in your 3rd house of communications and community. Changes in this house seem to be part of pressures that have been plaguing you in recent times.  This is difficult because they have been a part of your everyday existence and they can deal with family dilemmas.    Mars has just entered into your 6^th house of everyday work and health issues.  This area of your life will be redefined in the next 6 months.  This is necessary in order to make the transition from Saturn in Virgo to Saturn in Libra.  Transiting Saturn is in a square to transiting Pluto in your 11^th house of goals pushing you to achieve new goals within the next month.  Venus enhances your associations with people from the past and delivers an abundance of enjoyment.

This has been a tricky month.  Any errors you made in the last month have come back to haunt you.  I am looking at a box of switch plates that I ordered and they are the wrong ones.  I won’t have the correct ones for at least another 3 weeks.  That’s Mercury retrograde for you.  I have been in the process of ridding my closet of all the clothes that I never wear.  I always keep three sizes; one larger size for when I gain a little weight, one normal for my average size, and one smaller size for when I lose 10 lbs.  Now I have only one size.  I have found pants that have needed hemming for the last 5 years.  They are now positioned next to my T.V.  chair so that when I sit down to watch T.V. I can hem a pair of pants.   I know you’re not interested in my reorganizing but it is all a part of Mercury retrograde.  There are other things I’m reorganizing but I will not bore you with all the details. 

Saturn will be leaving Virgo at the end of the month and entering Libra.  I would like to give you a little Saturn hint about the time that Saturn spends in Libra.  As Saturn enters Libra, the vibration changes from Mutable Virgo Earth to Cardinal Libra Air.  Cardinal signs always initiate and adding Libra to the mix gives you social and partnership overtones to your daily routines.  Saturn’s step into Libra will last until April 8^th, 2010, when it re-enters Virgo to complete some unfinished business that occurs from October 10^th, to October 29^th 2009.   Whatever you are thinking and doing at this time will return when Saturn returns to Virgo to complete its final transit in Virgo.  This cycle will not be completely over until July 22, 2010.  Let’s get back to the unfinished business in Virgo.  Whatever you are doing from Oct.10, 2009 to Oct. 29, 2009 will return as unfinished business on April 7, 2010.  I hope I haven’t totally confused you.  The time that we spend in Libra is a look ahead to what is coming in July of 2010.   The time that we spend back in Virgo is a look back and a completion of what was going on in October 2009.

Take note of what happens this month for an idea of what is coming in April of 2010.

There is a Mars cycle that I need to share with you but the next New Moon will be time enough.  Did you know that when Mars goes retrograde it takes on the redefining quality of Saturn?   Until the New Moon, stay centered.

 Now for a lively Full Moon forecast in Aries.  This Full Moon has three transiting planets opposing transiting Uranus, plus a magnificent trine from transiting Uranus to transiting Mars.   Transiting Saturn is in an applying square to transiting Pluto and Pluto has turned direct as of September 11, 2009.  Mercury is going direct on September 29^th, 2009 at 21 degrees of Virgo.  The Sun in Libra will be making a trine to Jupiter on the 10^th of October just as Jupiter is about to go direct.  It will also trine Neptune and Chiron near October 17, 2009.  Full Moons are endings and this will not be any different.  As Saturn, Mercury and Venus oppose Uranus there are more endings.  This Full Moon in Aries ends many things quickly and effortlessly. A Full Moon in Aries is like an out of control train.   Uranus makes a wonderful trine to Mars eliminating any second thoughts you might have and paves the path for you.  The doors are open and you pass effortlessly into the next New Moon.
