Starting August 26, 2009 Mercury, Mars and Pluto  makes a Cardinal T Square at 0 degrees of Libra, Cancer and Capricorn, causing great assertive energy  to take place in the sign of  Aries.  You initiated with passion and purpose.  Check the house that Aries rules for more answers.  

Mercury retrograde on September 7^th, 2009 at 6 degrees of Libra comes in with some unforeseen breakdown in communication causing some delay in your plans.  Mercury retreats back into Virgo for some reorganization.   

Saturn at the time of this Full Moon will be at 23degrees of Virgo in aspect to opposing Uranus at 25 degrees of Pisces.    This will be the last in a series of three oppositions that have plagued us this year.  Think of Saturn as structure and foundations.  Think of Uranus as unexpected, seeking freedom and spontaneous.   These two planets in aspect together tend to level the playing field.  They are opposites, and there’s the rub.   Some structures in your life have been very demanding.  (Saturn)  The opposite is no structure. (Uranus)  The conflict must be resolved.  Where is your transiting Saturn?  Where is your transiting Uranus?  Take note of these placements as this is where the conflict will arise.

 On September 12^th Pluto goes direct moving forward to transform the area of your chart that it is transiting. Any aspects to this Pluto from a natal planet will cause a strong desire to accomplish something.

The rest of the month is promising to be very active.  This Full  Moon takes place at 12degrees of Pisces and the chart for the Full Moon includes some important aspects you might want to be aware of.

Mars in Cancer  in square to Mercury in Libra is part of the Cardinal T Square that started on the 26^th of August, making communication very intense. The opposition from Saturn to Uranus can possibly fire at anytime but it is scheduled for September 15^th, 2009. You will know if it does.  The next week should bring in some change in the house that Pisces occupies.

Below you will find the explanation of this New Moon in your chart.  Please read your rising sign as it will be more accurate to you personally.

ARIES-(March 21-April 19)

This Full Moon takes place in your 12^th house of the past and behind the scenes activity.   This area of your life also encompasses your subconscious, institutions, and clandestine operations.  This is where the changes take place.  The major activity has been taking place in your 1^st house of personality and appearance by way of the Cardinal T Square in your 4^th, 7^th and 10^th house.   Don’t be too surprised if some matters that deal with partnership do not appear to move as fast as you would like, but with Mercury going retrograde in your 7^th house of partnerships, some rethinking has to take place.  Your 6^th house of work seems to be supplying you with enough stress to make you rethink work situations.   This FM will make you slow down and take a breath.  Center yourself and figure out what you want.  Changes and delays make you rethink your position.

TAURUS-(April 20-May 20)

This Full Moon takes place in your 11^th house of goals, hopes and wishes.  Your direction and what you want to accomplish has changed and the interesting aspect of all of this is that things are not happening the way you expected.  The Cardinal T Square of Mars, Mercury and Pluto on the 27^th of August continues to activate your Aries 12^th house of the past, subconscious and clandestine operations.  Don’t be surprised if issues that deal with the 12^th house seem to look good one day and scary the next.  There are changes in the health area of your chart as well as your everyday work situation.  These subjects may not find a resolve for awhile or become problematic in the near future.  Saturn in your 5^th house of children, creativity and love affairs is establishing a new foundation for you but not without stressing you out to the max.  There will be changes in this area. They will benefit you;  you just won’t know it at the time.

 GEMINI-(May 21-June 20)

This Full Moon takes place in your 10^th house of career and standing in the community.   Career changes ahead.  The changes that take place with this FM are not so unexpected but, they still require you to instigate a plan allowing you to forge ahead. The Cardinal T Square points to your 11^th house of goals as receiving a tremendous amount of activity.  Mars in your 2^nd house of values and Mercury in your 5^th house of children , creativity and love affairs and Pluto in your 8^th house make me think that you are initiating some new directions that encompass these goals.  Usually, when I talk about the 10^th house, I am talking about career but, in so many ways, we wear many hats and the 10^th house covers these areas also.  I am an Astrologer, a mother, a grandmother, etc. etc.. These are all different hats that I wear.  As I accept new facets of myself, I also increase the hats that I wear.

 CANCER-(June 21-July 22)

This Full Moon takes place in your 9^th house of legal matters, philosophy, higher education and foreign affairs.  Changes that are occurring in this house are usually of a mental nature since much of this house requires your philosophical views to dominate any 9^th house issues.  Most of the activity has been focused on your 10^th house of career up to, and including, this FM.   There are discussions taking place that are pointed and direct.  Your ability to make things happen is on high.  Saturn Uranus opposition will have something to do with conflict involving home and career.  If you feel that this has a connection for you check your natal planets for more concise information.  You are making some things happen… good for you!  This will eventually redefine your financial house.

 LEO-(July 23-August 22)

This Full Moon takes place in your 8^th house of partnership resources, other people’s money, sex, death and taxes.  Quite a mouthful.   There are indications that money from others is about to change.  This could come from a bank or Mortgage Company or an inheritance.  It is not your personal money.  The Saturn Uranus opposition is positioned in these opposing houses causing much stress and conflict.   At some time this month these stresses and conflicts will be resolved one way or another. Do not burn any bridges as these situations appear.  Your behind the scenes communications are best described as your point of view and very debatable.  Issues that deal with partnerships are getting clearer.  Heed your inner voice when it comes to making decisions.  You won’t be wrong.

 VIRGO-(August 23-September 22)

The Full Moon takes place in your 7^th house of partnerships, either business or personal.  Lately, you have noticed many changes in yourself and trying to fit the new you into an already established relationship is very difficult.  Your needs today are not the needs of yesterday or a year ago.  There are changes in this house at this time, but with Mercury going retrograde, I don’t know how long you will feel this way.  There is a strong amount of energy that you are putting into partnership resources.  The object is to acquire a more financial stability. This month will put some pitfalls in your way but, in reality, these are the pitfalls you missed.  Your goals are up for major discussions.  It’s all about the new you and what you want.  Stay true to yourself.

LIBRA-(September 23-October 22)

This Full Moon takes place in your 6^th house of everyday work and/or health issues.  You have been eliminating issues and things from your life that taken up your precious time.  You have been in a period of reduction and scrutiny that has you releasing old habits and trying to build a new foundation for Saturn’s entrance into the 1^st house.  Partnership issues that have been up for awhile now seem to be taking hold.  Career communications are direct and will need to be revamped as Mercury goes retrograde.  The Saturn Uranus opposition involves your 12^th house of the past and Uranus in the 6^th house of work and/or health.  This stress will be over on or about the 15^th of September.  You will be entering a cycle to redefine your goals, friends, hopes and wishes that takes place in the next six months.

  SCORPIO-(October 24-November 22)

This Full Moon takes place in your 5^th house of children, creativity, love affairs and gambling.  There is a major change that takes place here and it is one that has been a  possibility for awhile.  These are also the houses that hold the Saturn Uranus opposition that takes place later this month.  The conflict comes from your goals and for some reason not reaching them.  You know the reason but just don’t want to admit it.  You have been putting a lot of effort into 6^th house matters (everyday work and health) and they now seem to be taking form..  There will be delays but they seem to energize your convictions.  Mars square Mercury from the 9^th to the 12^th indicates some communications that are pointed and require discussion.   Stay level; stay centered; stay intuitive.

SAGITTARIUS-(November 22-December 21)

This Full Moon takes place in your 4^th house of home and core issues.  The changes that take place here have been in the works for a long time.  There is a change in the home but I want you to realize that these changes also take place on a personal and deeper level.  Your personal core issues are the foundations on which you build your home.  If there is a change in the home, there is a change in your core.  The Saturn Uranus opposition will also activate this career and home conflict.  You have been redefining your career and direction for two years and now the situation becomes more clear and defined.  There are heated discussions about goals.  The indication is that compromise is appropriate now.  Mercury will be going retrograde almost immediately delaying any further resolution.  You are making strong headway.

CAPRICORN-(December 22-January 19)

This Full Moon takes place in your 3^rd house of communications, community, brothers, sisters and immediate environment. The changes that take place in the 3^rd house have to do with changes in your environment or close relations.   At the same time Saturn has been transiting your 9^th house of philosophy, legal matters, higher education and foreign affairs.   The conflict that arises is usually mental and has the organization and fundamentals of Saturn conflicting with Uranus and the need for freedom and less stress.  This month will bring the last of those oppositions and Saturn will prepare to enter the sign of Libra on your 10^th house of career.  This is an accomplishment and a high point in your life.  Pluto in your first house and Mars in opposition have put you in an uncompromising position.  Think twice before you burn any bridges. 

AQUARIUS-(January 20-February 19)

This Full Moon takes place in your 2^nd house of personal finances, values and love.  The changes here indicate financial changes for you, personally, and changes in values that rule your desires.  The opposite 8^th house has had Saturn transiting this position for the last 2 years.  There have been conflicts and there is still one more to be visited upon us.  The final transiting Saturn and Uranus opposition seems to come to some conclusion on or about September 15^th, 2009. This is the last of the transiting Saturn Uranus oppositions for this year.  This will release you from the stress and conflict of the past year.   There is a lot of discussion going on with everyday work and legal matters or philosophy that poses problems in the near future that will be worked out in the next month.  (Mercury retrograde)  Things seem to be shaping up for the next cycle that we enter in October.      

PISCES-(February 20-March 20)

This Full Moon takes place in your 1^st house of personality and appearance.  Uranus has been transiting this house for the last 5 years creating unexpected issues and revolutionary changes.  This Full Moon changes you personally and how you appear to the world.  These changes can be physical and/or reveal new aspects of your personality never before realized. Saturn in the 7^th house of partnership has redefined your partnerships to make them acceptable to the new you.  On or about September 15^th there will be a Saturn Uranus opposition that will release you from current stresses.  This may take two weeks to realize but the conflict will be gone.  There has been a tremendous push for you to increase your personal finances. There are direct communications that point to activity but alas the Mercury retrograde delays the opportunity until next month.  Stay centered.

The last of our big three Eclipses bellows forth on the 6^th of August.  For many of us it will be anti-climatic as so much has preceded this Eclipse but, fear not there are more changes in the offing.  This is a Full Moon Eclipse so you must expect changes.  Where the changes take place in your life depends on the area of your natal chart it ultimately resides.  Interestingly enough, this being the third and final eclipse in a series of three has an added message connected to it. We are entering into a new 6 month eclipse pattern that will involve a change in energy and direction.  The next 6 months will witness Saturn leaving Virgo and entering Libra.  It reaches 4 degrees of Libra.  It then turns retrograde and re-enter Virgo for its last and final pass before leaving Virgo permanently for the next 28 years.  During this change of energy the planet Mars will be making its journey through Leo.  This only happens when Saturn changes signs.  We all have our plans and mental goals dancing in and out of our consciousness but this transit of Mars takes on the energy of a mini-Saturn.  It ultimately focuses this energy into a specific direction made just for you.  This Saturn and Mars transit also has the added energy of Pluto in Capricorn to contend with. Saturn will square Pluto during this time and also square any planet between 0 and 4 degrees of a Cardinal sign. (Libra, Capricorn, Aries, Cancer) Check your natal planets for these points.   Our conversations will not be dull and the energies involved will definitely change the direction for all of us.  

Back to the FME.  Its position is in Aquarius, a constellation comprised of fixed air.  This energy ignores the obvious and resists any change that doesn’t fit into a precise mental picture.  If this takes place conjunct a natal planet or in opposition, it will definitly be personal to you.  If it occurs in the 1^st, 4^th, 7^th, or 10^th house, it will also increase the impact for you.  The square to this FME will occur on November 2^nd, 2009 bringing a lot of issues to a head and possibly resolving them. There is a possibility of this lasting longer. The aspects are varied during this Eclipse.  There is a significant Mars trine Moon and Jupiter and in square aspect to transiting Saturn.  An interesting adventure to be sure but difficult in terms of the energy you have to expend to achieve your desired outcome.  Venus has recently opposed Pluto adding intensity to a budding love affair and increasing communications.  Uranus, the planet of freedom and release, is still on the books for another hit to Saturn in September; however, there are just some issues that you have not let go of yet.   This FME is a direct result of the NME. Let’s look at this FME through the houses.

Please read your rising sign and/or ascendant as it will be more meaningful for you.  If you have interceptions, you will have to cut and paste.

Aries

This Full Moon Eclipse takes place in your 11^th house of goals, group associations, hopes and wishes.  The major impact of this FME will lie in the conclusions you have reached during this eclipse.  You will change your goals but achieving them may be harder than you expected.  Fear not, my little fireball, as life’s adventures are the fuel that keeps you going.  The FME in Aquarius ignites your Uranus instinct for freedom but conflicts with the stress that you are enduring at this time.  There is a light at the end of the tunnel and you can see it.  Your goals will not be clear for awhile but the experience of the challenge has you enthralled. 

Taurus

This FME takes place in your 10^th house of career and guarantees a change in this area.  Career changes are positive.  Finances place you in a precarious position but thankfully, the reality of your life does not support this fear. The FME passes over the Jupiter Chiron and Neptune position exacerbating the fear of the unknown but also offering choices and opportunities. The opportunities are as varied as the habits you hang on to.   Hang tight, Taurus, this will work out good for you.  Release the fear; you can handle anything that comes your way.

Gemini

This Full Moon Eclipse takes place in your 9^th house of philosophy, higher education, legal matters, foreign affairs and writing and publishing.  This is a Full Moon Eclipse so expect changes to come about in all or any of the above areas of your life.  Since this is a mental house, it may be something that challenges you mentally.  At this point in your life there many unknowns and that fact alone can have an impact on you.  This looks financially beneficial to you even though you will be under some duress to accomplish something.  There are many issues of the 9^th house that will not be solidified for awhile but your ability to juggle and manage will save you from any boring predicaments.    

Cancer

This Full Moon Eclipse takes place in your 8^th house of partnership resources, other people’s money, sex, death and taxes.   Well, that takes in a mouth-full.  The interesting result of this FME can affect any and all of the above mentioned areas of life and, possibly, some I have missed.  The change is financial but not personally financial; this has to do with partnership monies, money you get from work, institutional finances and possibly, from inheritance.  Finances are in flux.  To say this is negative is incorrect.  To say this is stressful is correct. Your ability to nurture yourself will be needed at this time.  Nurturing everyone else will not help.

Leo

This Full Moon Eclipse takes place in your 7^th house of partnerships (business or personal),  or directly dealing with the general public.  There are changes that take place in this area of your life but they seem to have an eye on your goals.  You will be working diligently to achieve some financial security. This is causing the stress in your life.  There has been some redefining in your financial sector for the last 2 ½ years and now you will understand where this has been going and why. Reach deep inside yourself for that ability to withstand the obvious hardships of life and come out smelling like a rose.

Virgo

This Full Moon Eclipse takes place in your 6^th house of everyday work and health.  The changes that take place at this time may seem stressful but in reality they are positive.  The stress in your life solely comes from redefining who you are in relation to your career.  You are not sure about too much when it comes to your everyday work.  The unknown factors are not conducive to feeling secure.  You may feel as if there are a lot of issues up in the air.  Relax.  This is not the time to feel insecure.  Remember you’re the only one who knows exactly what’s possible.

Libra

This Full Moon Eclipse takes place in your 5^th house of children, love affairs and creativity.  Changes in this area are usually difficult because of the subjects.  If it involves our children, the hair on the back of our necks stands at attention. If it involves a love affair, the hair everywhere else stands at attention.  The only safe bet is our creativity.  Or is it?  Gambling and/or stocks and bonds have recently been the an object of contention. recently.  This is a direct result of the NME and leads us into the future.  Let’s keep our focus forward and not towards the past.  Vacations are pleasant.

Scorpio

This Full Moon Eclipse takes place in your 4^th house of home and core issues.  Again, I must repeat that anything that takes place in your home is an outward manifestation of what is currently going on under your skin.  Changes in the home manifest the changes that take place in your core.  Finances seem to be of benefit to you, but they are causing you an uncommon amount of stress.  The 4^th house has a lot of issues that have not been resolved as of yet.  This alone can put you over the edge.  Patience is a virtue and you have plenty of it.  Use it.

Sag

This Full Moon Eclipse takes place in your 3^rd house of communication and community.  The line up of planets in this house keeps the ideas growing and rolling.  There are a lot of changes in what people say and what they do.  You may find that career matters are stressful at this time and yet there are opportunities.  Go figure.  The unknown factors in this scenario do not lessen yet.  You must remember that positive thoughts have a way of changing the stress in your life.  The Saturn Uranus opposition on the 10^th of September to the 18^th of September will release you.

Capricorn

The Full Moon Eclipse takes place in the 2^nd house of personal finances, love and money.  There are planets that indicate uncertainties in your life revolving around love and money.  This trio of planets in your 2^nd house of personal money has been in constant flux recently.  It is not over yet.  Look deep inside yourself for your own reassurance instead of looking to anyone or anything.  This is an important life lesson.  It resonates for all of us in some area of our lives. 

Aquarius

This Full Moon Eclipse takes place in your 1^st house of personality and appearance.  To say that this will change who you are a given.  Where are you are going and when will it takes place are the questions that are constantly gnawing at you.  Stop for a minute and consider who you are, what you know, your life’s experience and your value as a person in this world.  Is it possible with all of that going for you,  that you will loose at anything?  This may be a challenging period but not anything you haven’t been tested for in the past.   Your quotient for success in your eyes is not the same as everyone else’s. 

Pisces

This Full Moon Eclipse takes place in your 12^th house of the past, hidden things, the subconscious, behind the scenes activity, clandestine arrangements.  Now that I’ve made this sound seductive, I will definitely give you the true low down.  This is all about the everyday happenings that you cannot see.  This is all happening behind the scenes and enlarged by your imagination for the sole purpose to freak you out.  The area of concern for you personally should be your inner self.  There is no better security.  Everything is in flux and you are not privy to the answers.  Find you and you find security.

As we look at the beginning of June, it is safe to say that Mercury, Saturn, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Uranus are all direct.   Neptune and Pluto are retrograde and Jupiter is expected to follow on June 15^th, 2009.   This is a perfect time to start whatever has been pending or whatever you want to begin.  This is a window of time where most of the planets are direct.  Jupiter, Chiron and Neptune are still causing most of the ambient noise and distractions but your path forward starts to open.  Jupiter retrograde continues its association with Chiron and Neptune and continues keeping certain issues still nagging at you throughout this conjunction period.  This unknowing stays with us well into February 0f 2010.  Our only saving grace is that Jupiter will release its grip on this conjunction around July 23rd, 2009.   All of these planets have been in square to retrograde Mercury and are still in square to Mercury direct even thru this FM.  At this point in everyone’s life there are issues that cannot be concluded and that you feel are totally out of your control. These issues will continue to be unresolved for a time but we must try to accept the status quo and live within the boundaries we have set up for ourselves.   If you have other means of enduring the unknown energize them.  Enough about unknowns, let’s get into the known.

This Full Moon contains a Mutable T square with the Moon at 17 degrees of Sag, Saturn at 15degrees of Virgo and the Sun at 17degrees of Gemini.  The energy from this T- square empties into the house that holds 17 degrees of Pisces.  So take your chart in hand and locate the house that holds the FM, as this is where the changes will take place;  however, the focus will be from the house that holds 17 degrees of Pisces.   We continue to experience the trio of unknowns looming over our heads like grey rain clouds and, of course, still in square to Mercury giving us plenty to talk about.  On the brighter side there is a trine aspect from Mars and Venus to Pluto that gives us something to feel good about.  

Below you will find the explanation of this New Moon in your chart.  Please read your rising sign as it will be more accurate to you personally.

ARIES-(March 21-April 19)

This Full Moon takes place in your 9^th house of philosophy, higher education, foreign affairs and legal matters.  This FM is in a Mutable T-square to Saturn at 15 degrees in your 6^th house of everyday work and health and the Sun at 17 degrees of Gemini, in your 3^rd house of communications and community.  This setup portends to change.  If you follow the energy of the T-square, you will find it they lead you to the 12^th house of institutions and behind- the-scenes activity.  Think of subconscious issues that you may be battling on a philosophical level. The trios of unknowns are still hovering but you are learning to live with it. Uranus is in good aspect to Mercury opening the doors to unexpected communications.  Venus and Mars are in trine to Pluto in the 10^th house promising the potential for love and money. 

TAURUS-(April 20-May 20)

This Full Moon takes place in your 8^th house of partnership finances and other people’s money.  It forms a mutable T-square to the current transiting Saturn in your 5^th house of children and creativity and the Sun in your 2^nd house of values and love. (Changes) The most important note is that all of the energy of this T-square empties out into your 11^th house of goals.  Think changes in financial goals.  Mars and Venus are in your 1^st house amplifying your charisma by trining Pluto in the 9^th house.  There is a great aspect between Uranus and Mercury making communications a reliable resource.  There are still dark clouds in the career area of your chart but resist the urge to dwell on the unknown.

 GEMINI-(May 21-June 20)

This Full Moon takes place in your 7^th house of partnerships (business or personal).  The FM forms a Mutable T-square to Saturn in the 4^th  house of home and core issues and the Sun in your 1^st house of personality.  Because of the placement of the Sun, Saturn, and the FM in angular houses, these changes will be on a personal level.  The outlet for this energy is the 10^th house of career. There are major changes taking place in partnerships and dealing with the public, all due to career objectives.  You are a major player in this life drama.  Some matters are still in worry-mode but communication has opened the door to emotional negotiations.   Venus and Mars are in your 12^th house- of-behind the scenes activity giving new life to your 8^th house of sex, death and taxes.

 CANCER-(June 21-July 22)

This Full Moon takes place in your 6^th house of everyday work and health.  It forms a T-square that includes your Saturn in the 3^rd house and the Sun transiting the 12^th house.  The energy from these planets empty into your 9^th house of philosophy, legal matters, foreign affairs and higher education promising changes that revolve around 9^th house matters.  Interestingly enough, these changes take place in your everyday work or health area.  Other people’s money and partnership funds still hold the planetary trio of financial chaos and invite you to worry.  Communications lead to unexpected realizations when it comes to your goals.  Venus and Mars are holding court in your 11^th house of goals cooking up some pleasant surprises. 

LEO-(July 23-August 22)

This Full Moon takes place in your 5^th house of creativity, children and love affairs.  It also forms a Mutable T-square to Saturn in your 2^nd house of values and the Sun in your 11^th house of goals.  The energy from this T-square empties into the 8^th house of partnership finances, other people’s money, sex, death and taxes.  This will be the area that requires the most attention and will express the FM in your 5^th house.   Think of your money needs.  Partnership issues are still in a state of confusion and the resolutions are not forthcoming yet.  Venus and Mars are in excellent aspect to Pluto in your 6^th house providing praise and applause.  Communications are at a high and unexpected developments arise spontaneously.

 VIRGO-(August 23-September 22)

This Full Moon takes place in your 4^th house of home and core issues.  It forms a Mutable T-square to transiting Saturn in the 1^st house of personality and the Sun in the 10^th house of career. This combination releases all of its energy into the 7^th house of partnerships.  Think changes in the home due to partnerships.  (Business or personal)  This is important as these are angular houses and changes that take place in theses houses are always of a personal nature.  The ungainly trio of chaos still looms in your 6^th house of everyday work and health.  Saturn in your 1^st house is going direct completing issues that you have been trying to attain for the last 9 months.  Venus and Mars in your 9^th house are trining your transiting Pluto in the 5^th house of children, creativity and love affairs.  There are good times on your agenda. 

LIBRA-(September 23-October 22)

This Full Moon takes place in your 9^th house of philosophy, higher education, foreign affairs and legal matters.  The most important thing to acknowledge in this set up is that the planets involved in this Mutable T-square are primarily mental houses and secondly, tertiary houses. This tells me that these changes of the current FM involve you on a personal level; however, think of these as changes due to revamped priorities or ideas.  This is a time to get rid of all the old emotional baggage that we take with us on our continuing journey through life.  The changes that take place in the 3^rd house have to do with communications and your current work and living environment.  Think changes in your neighborhood or in the work place.  Children, creative endeavors and romance still have some unresolved issues that need to be explored.  Try to look ahead without letting go of the moment.

 SCORPIO-(October 24-November 22)

This Full Moon takes place in your 2^nd house of personal values, personal finances and love.  There is a basic change that takes place deep inside you on your level of values.  This Mutable T-square involves the 2^nd house of values, the 11^th house of goals, and the 8^th house of partnership finances, etc. etc.  The energy of these three houses empties into the 5^th house of children, creativity and love affairs.  You may be thinking that you are not being appreciated or not respected by children or the people closest to you.  This can be a hurtful thing to deal with and find a sense of peace.  You may be spending money on children or close relationships. The best option yet is that you are in Vegas spending lots of money and having a ball.  All three are possible. You get to pick.  Some home issues are still looming in a dark cloud overshadowing your mental Vegas escape.  Venus and Mars are sending you complimentary and interesting communications.

SAGITTARIUS-(November 22-December 21)

This Full Moon takes place in your 1^st house of personality and how people see you.  This is also the area to look for any kind of travel and movement personal to you.  Since this FM takes place in the 1^st house, you are guaranteed a lot of movement.  The Mutable T-square involves the 1^st house, the 10^th house of career and the 7^th house of partnership (Business or personal).  The energy from these planets all empty into the 4^th house of home making  the 4^th house a focal point in this FM.  You may very well be traveling because of home or deeper issues of the 4^th house.  These changes carry some benefits for you.  Communications with children and/or lovers tend to hide some issues that need to be seen in the light of day.  Mars and Venus in your 6^th house of everyday work and health seem to be showering you with accolades and financial appreciation.

 CAPRICORN-(December 22-January 19)

This Full Moon takes place in your 12^th house of hidden matters, the subconscious, the past.  The Mutable T-square involves Saturn in the 9^th house of legal matters, higher education, foreign affairs and philosophy and the 6^th house of everyday work and health and, of course, the FM in the 12^th house.  This is a lot of energy but I feel that it is ethereal energy.  What I mean by that is that it seem s to all take place on a mental or emotional plane.  The changes take place in the background of your life, or subconscious and focus on family members or communications.  Just the fact that Saturn squares the Moon during this FM makes me uncomfortable. Issues that deal with children and love affairs are pleasantly laid in your lap.  Financial issues are still hovering and causing some background anxiety. 

AQUARIUS-(January 20-February 19)

This Full Moon takes place in your 11^th house of goals.  The Mutable T-square  of Saturn in the 8^th house of partnership funds, the Sun in your 5^th house of children, creativity and love affairs and the FM in the 11^th house combine their energy and direct it to the unoccupied 2^nd house of personal finances and values.  Your personal finances hold the key to a change in your goals.  New developments cause you to change direction.  There are some goals that you have been working on for awhile that have been slow to show up on the positive side of life’s ledger or garner any financial sympathy.  Things will be changing, as will your attitude.  You are in a funk and don’t know how to escape.  You are talking a lot about the future but there are many questions that go unanswered.  Venus and Mars provide you with some respite from the outside world.

PISCES-(February 20-March 20)

This Full Moon takes place in your 10^th house of career.  The Mutable T-square involved in this FM brings changes to your 10^th house because that is where the FM takes place, but in reality, it produces some movement on a personal level also.  Saturn in the 7^th house of partnerships puts the focus on you and your personality.  You may feel as if you are receiving more attention than you have had in the past and you are right.  This is all about you, your career and the choices you have made in the last two years.  Communications bring some desired focus on your goals and offer interesting pathways to travel.  Expect the unexpected and run with it.   The cosmic trio secluded in your 12^th house constantly reminds you of the looming unanswered questions.  Life is good and you will survive.

I am looking outside and the thermometer reads 40 degrees.  Is it possible that this is summer?  I will not be able to plant my tomatoes until it is at least 50 degrees in the evening consistently.  I do love my home grown tomatoes.   Umm-mm

I am looking at this Full Moon as something that brings about change.    If you look back at the Eclipse of Feb. 9^th, 2009, the Full Moon Eclipse was at 20 degrees of Leo.   Where does this point fall in your chart?  This area was a major concern at that time.  Each house has a multitude of areas that it governs.   As a Libra rising, it landed in my 11^th house of goals and, if I remember correctly, I was very concerned about the direction of my web site.  I am sure that the listing below will help you determine where the challenges were for you in February.  This last month brought the beginnings of your current Eclipse turning point.  The majestic aspects that come with this Full Moon are all about deep change.  If you look back at February 2009, the FM Eclipse took place in Leo at 20 degrees.  The following list is to help you remember what was challenging you at the time.  This is the area of your life where the Full Moon Eclipse took place.

 Aries, Leo is in your 5^th house of children, creativity, love affairs

Taurus, Leo is in your 4^th house of home, inner self

Gemini, Leo is in your 3^rd house of communications and community

Cancer, Leo is in your 2^nd house of personal finances and values

Leo is your ascendant or 1^st house of self, self promotion, personality

Virgo, Leo is in your 12^th house of the past, institutions, the subconscious

Libra, Leo is in your 11^th house of your goals and friends

Scorpio, Leo is in your 10^th house of career

Sagittarius, Leo is in your 9^th house of legal matters, publishing and foreign affairs

Capricorn, Leo is in your 8^th house of partnership finances, other people’s money

Aquarius, Leo is in your 7^th house of partnerships, either business or personal

Pisces, Leo is in your 6^th   house of everyday work or health.

I am listing these rising signs and where Leo landed in your chart at the February 9^th Eclipse.  This is only correct if you have no interceptions in your chart.  If you do have interceptions, you will have to adjust the house position.  I want to jog your memory and bring the essence of that February 9^th into your consciousness for a bit of show and tell.

Now that you know what you were thinking and worrying about then, you can see the natural progression that has been achieved since then.  This Full Moon is at 18 degrees of Scorpio in opposition to the Sun culminating issues from the last 3 weeks and energizing the square aspect it makes to last February’s Eclipse point of 20 degrees of Leo.  The other aspects in this Full Moon chart are direct squares to Jupiter, Chiron, and Neptune from the Full Moon completing a Grand Fixed T square. This in itself promises to be a life changer.  Adding to this is a trine from the Sun to Saturn promising added stability and the Full Moon in trine to Uranus bringing about unexpected realizations.  This scenario seems to indicate a stepping stone in personal evolution.  

I know you have read Catherine Schultz’s articles and love them as much as I do.  This week she has an article on the Mercury retrograde that informs and entertains.  She is technically correct in her summation of the Mercury retrograde and is able to accomplish this with a distinct ability to carry us off on her personal astrological adventure.  

Speaking of the Mercury retrograde that seems to be happening on May 7^th, 2009….  Just a note…in and around May 7^th, you will notice things seem to go awry.  Mainly, you will need more information before you are allowed to complete some issues.

I will leave the Mercury retrograde for Catherine to explain to you.

Her article is just below mine.

Please be sure to read your rising sign as it will resonate with your personal chart.

If you have intercepted signs, you will need to check it more closely and make adjustments.

 VIRGO-(August 23-September 22)

Seasons Greetings! 

Hello to my fellow Celebrators!

I have an undeniable feeling of exuberance for this Holiday Season.  I feel good about President Elect Obama and the exactness of his attitude along with his choices for the Cabinet.  I feel that we are at the beginning of a new chapter for the United States, maybe even a new book.  I am sure that many things will change and that for some of us, the changes may be somewhat difficult.  Nothing substantial can be built in a short time so I expect this to be a lengthy process.  My only wish is that people can withstand this transition without too much worry. (There goes my pie in the sky wishes.) Meanwhile, we are all preparing for the Holiday Season.  My house is starting to look like a house in Santa’s Village.  My children are grown and gone but I continue to decorate as if they were 6 years old and running though the house.  My granddaughters, Cassandra and Isabella, are the recipients of my most cherished childhood memories of Christmas. Their eyes are always as big as saucers when they first see the Christmas tree with presents beautifully wrapped and bowed.  What a surprise they are going to get this year as I put everything in a separate boxes and it resembles a mountain of wrapped joy.  They are not expensive gifts but they are the kind of things that inspire creativity.  I found some paper clay.  Yes! That’s right, I said “paper clay.”  This clay can be manipulated in many ways and solidifies when it dries.  It can be painted or not.  I am tempted to buy some  for myself. I also found some Terra Cotta clay that can be manipulated and dried and some Erasable Crayola colored pencils. The list goes on and on.   Now, let’s look at this month’s Full Moon and planetary information. 

This Full Moon is at 21 degrees of Gemini on the 12^th of December.  One of my students has the task of configuring all the aspects of the Full Moon and she is doing a great job. She informed me of the Mutable Grand Cross that we will examine in the individual rising signs.  This Full Moon forecasts changes and, depending on the house it falls in, will determine the area of our lives where it will be experienced.  Besides the Mutable Grand Cross, Saturn turns retrograde on December 31^st, 2008 setting us on a course to internalize the events of the last 4 months.  Mars transits thru Capricorn later on in the month and makes an important conjunction to transiting Pluto on December 29^th, 2008 initiating some strong actions on your behalf.   Jupiter is in its final degrees of Capricorn until January 6^th, 2009.  Uranus is now direct and showing some results of its stay at 18 degrees of Pisces.  Uranus is part of the Mutable Grand Cross, as is Saturn, the Full Moon, Uranus and Mars. My take on this is that some unexpected changes take place depending on where they fall in your personal chart. 

You will notice that I am using some new terms in my forecasts this time.  They are: Primary, Secondary and Tertiary houses.  These are the names given to the three houses in each quadrant of the chart.  They denote an order in how each house will react in situations.  Primary is the 1^st, 4^th, 7^th and 10^th houses and aspects should be considered very personal.  Secondary is the 2^nd, 5^th , 8^th and 11^th houses and denote aspects that involve another person or persons.  Tertiary is the 3^rd , 6^th , 9^th, 12^th houses that involve aspects with the general public.  I Hope this is helpful. 

Please use your Ascendant to read your forecast. You can also read your Sun sign but the Ascendant will read more true. 

ARIES-(March 21-April 19)

This Full Moon takes place in your 3^rd house of communications and community and is in opposition to Sun and Mars in the 9^th house of legal matters and philosophy.  Uranus in the 12^th house of the past and opposes Saturn in the 6^th house of work and health and completes the Mutable Grand Cross.  These are all Tertiary houses for you and are not of a personal nature. It seems that you may hear something very unexpected from the past or behind the scenes that may involve work or responsibility and travel or education.  These are a lot of ifs but there are 4 planets involved that represent 4 different areas of your life.  There are trines radiating from two points in this setup that confirms that this is a positive and necessary move.  Saturn is still trining Jupiter exerting the idea that this is a great time for partnership.

TAURUS-(April 20-May 20)

This Full Moon takes place in your 2^nd house of personal finance and values in opposition to the Sun and Mars in your 8^th house of partnership resources.  Uranus in the 11^th of goals is in opposition to Saturn in the 5^th house of children and creativity and complete the Mutable Grand Cross. There seem to be some unexpected expenditures that you need to be accountable for incurring. The possibilities include children and recreation and offer a bit of freedom from the ordinary.  The two trines that come off of these aspects indicate that partnerships are at a plus for you as are career opportunities.  These all take place in Secondary houses and involve another.

GEMINI-(May 21-June 20)

This Full Moon takes place in your 1^st house of personality in opposition to Mars and the Sun in the 7^th of partnerships.  Uranus in the 10^th of career and in opposition Saturn in the 4^th of home and core issues completes this Mutable Grand Cross.   These aspects lands in  Primary houses and should be considered personal issues for you.  I also think that because the Full Moon takes place in the 1^st house, it can be a change in how you look, or how people see you.  One thing is certain and that is that you will not be static.  Saturn in the 4^th trine Jupiter in the 8^th indicates an ease in partnership finances. 

 CANCER-(June 21-July 22) 

This Full Moon takes place in your 12th house of personality in opposition to Mars and the Sun in the 6th of work and health.  Uranus in the 9th house of legal matters and in opposition to Saturn in the 3rd of communications completes the Mutable Grand Cross.  These are all Tertiary houses and denote aspects will happen with more than one person.  Because of the 12th house connotation, this could be something from the past that reappears unexpectedly or an institutional concern. The trines off of these squares are good for partnerships and finances.

LEO-(July 23-August 22)

This Full Moon takes place in your 11^th house of goals, hopes and wishes and is in opposition to the Sun and Mars in the 5^th house of children and creativity.  Uranus in the 8^th of partnership finances and in opposition to Saturn in the 2^nd of personal finances completes a Mutable Grand Cross.  Some unexpected twists and turns may come about in how you are handling your financial goals. The trine off of Saturn indicates a new work alliance. These are all Secondary houses and indicate an involvement with another person.

VIRGO-September-(August 23 22)

This Full Moon takes place in your 10^th house of career in opposition to Mars and the Sun in the 4^th house of home and core issues. Uranus in the 7^th house of partnerships and in opposition to Saturn in the 1^st house of personality completes this Mutable Grand Cross.   These are Primary houses and are personal to you and you alone.  Changes in career seem to be the basis for this month Full Moon.  These changes can be unexpected but I believe they will be of benefit because of the trine from Saturn to Jupiter.  A change in direction is indicated.

LIBRA-(September 23-October 22)

This Full Moon takes place in your 9^th house of legal matters in opposition to Sun and Mars in your 3^rd house of communications and community. Uranus in the 6^th house and in opposition to Saturn in the 12^th complete this Mutable Grand Cross.  These are Tertiary houses.  9^th houses matters involve many possibilities, for example, philosophy, higher education, foreign affairs, writing and long distance traveling.  One of these is the basis for the upcoming changes.  Adding to that is the Saturn in 12^th in trine to Jupiter in the 4^th and you have some pleasant times to prepare for.

SCORPIO-(October 24-November 22)

This Full Moon takes place in your 8^th house of partnership finances in opposition to Mars and Sun in the 2^nd house of personal finances. Uranus in the 5^th of children and creativity and in opposition to Saturn in the 11^th of goals hopes and wishes completes a Mutable Grand Cross.    This aspect takes place in Secondary houses and involves one other person.   There may be changes in finances that come in very unexpectedly but end up very positive for you.  The trine from Saturn in the 11^th to Jupiter in the 3^rd is great for short distant trips.

SAGITTARIUS-(November 22-December 21)

This Full Moon takes place in your 7^th house of partnerships in opposition to the Sun and Mars in the 1^st house of personality.  Uranus in the 4^th house of home and core issues and in opposition to Saturn in the 10^th house of career completes the Mutable Grand Cross.  It seems that partnership issues are important and seem to have some unexpected changes.  These may be career based but also indicate an opportunity for financial gain.  Since these are Primary houses, this indicates changes that will be personal to you.

CAPRICORN-(December 22-January 19)

This Full Moon takes place in your 6^th house of everyday work or health in opposition to the Sun and Mars in the 12^th house.  Uranus in the 3^rd house of communication and in opposition to Saturn in the 9^th house of legal matters completes a   Mutable Grand Cross.   This aspect takes place in Tertiary houses.  Changes in work or health matters seem to dominate this Full Moon.  Saturn in the 9^th in trine to Jupiter in the 1^st is a great indicator of travel. There will be a certain amount of spontaneity that comes in with the Full Moon because of Uranus.  Not a whole lot of planning going on.

AQUARIUS-(January 20-February 19)

This Full Moon takes place in your 5^th house of children and creativity in direct opposition to the Sun and Mars in the 11^th house of goals. Uranus in the 2^nd house of personal finance is in opposition to Saturn in the 8^th house of partnership finances. Mutable Grand Cross takes place in Secondary houses and involves you and one other person.  Saturn in the 8^th that trines Jupiter in the 12^th and finances appear from something from the past

PISCES-(February 20-March 20)

This Full Moon takes place in your 4^th house of home and core issues in opposition to Mars and the Sun in the 10^th house of career. Uranus is in the 1^st house of personality and in opposition Saturn in the 7^th house of partnerships.  This completes a Mutable Grand Cross and takes place in Primary houses suggesting that everything that happens takes place for you personally.  Saturn in the 7^th in trine to Jupiter in the 11^th indicates some goals have been reached or are about to be completed. 

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.

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…

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.

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?
