Astrology by Mary MacLean

This New Moon takes place in Pisces at 25 degrees.  It is conjunct Mercury and Uranus.  This is a potent combination where ever it falls in your chart.  If you have Pluto in Virgo at around this same degree, it will be in opposition to this position and then this becomes extremely changeable.  Not all of us have Pluto in this position, so not to worry.  If you were born in ‘67 or 68′ you may have this opposition.  Pisces is a mutable water sign, so change is a constant.  This NM is also conjunct Uranus and Mercury making unexpected communication something to pay attention to.  Where ever or in what ever house this lands in is where all of this communication takes place.  It is also important to note that there is a quincunx in aspect and this tells me there is an adjustment to be made.  Your natal planets are not in this mix.  This does happen to everyone but just in a different area of life and interacting with natal planets.

Are you all as exhausted as I am?  This has been a harrowing week.  It is now March 10^th, 2010 and Mars is going direct today.  I should have remembered the effects of Mars going direct but it all simply slipped my mind along with a million other small details.  Mars retrograde is all about internalizing the last 3 months and the decisions we made at that time.  As Mars slows down to turn direct everything seems to come to some conclusion or decision.  None of this happens easily as I knew but like childbirth some magical thing comes over you and you don’t remember things like pain, exhaustion or stress.  Today I feel a new lease on the future but I had to walk thru fire to get there.  I am just hoping that your last two weeks were not as eventful as mine. 

My first experience was a call from my sister that my Aunt Francis had passed away.  I can only say that my Auntie Fran was the perfect mother, wife and Aunt.  I remember back in the day when Italian woman were forbidden to smoke.  Not that they didn’t, they just couldn’t let their husbands see them smoke.  My Auntie Fran would go to another part of the house with me under the assumption we were going to have tea together and chat.  She would take out a cigarette and remind me, as she lit up, to let her know if my Uncle Phil came anywhere into range of our hideaway.  In those days it was important to let your husband, especially Italian husbands, know that they were all powerful and commanded obedience about everything.  Things have really changed, thank God.

My Auntie Fran was the regular 4′11” Italian woman, but with one distinction I will always remember.  She was meticulous about her appearance in everyway.  I went back to Chicago last Thanksgiving to see her and at 97 years old, she did not have a gray hair on her head.  Her make up was beautiful as was her countenance.  I always admired her for her sensitivity.  She was a Scorpio, you know, and deeply sensitive.  She had a way of standing out from the crowd in a stately manner.  A true woman of class.  This set the tone for the last weekend. 

I wanted to pay tribute to her as one of her admirers and as a family member.  Her sweetness in this life is something I will always remember. 

I know I will miss my Auntie Fran and remember her always.

The rest of my weekend was filled with computer problems and a sewer backup.

Not anything I want to remember or talk about.

Remember, I asked for your help in putting Anna May Cottrell in your prayers.  She has come thru the Surgery but had a sudden set back today.  I ask again to hold her in the Light and send her your prayers..

Thank you…

I still have some openings for my bi-monthly Moon and personal chart subscriptions.  I am still asking for feedback as it will help me do a better job.  Thank you.

 I hope you will be delighted with the spectacular shifts on this site, spearheaded by this New Moon!  It brings fourth many issues I want to discuss with all of you. 

As you know, I will not be 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. This is a one-time only introductory price.

 I cannot do more than 20 people, as my time and space are limited.   I have already gotten several subscriptions just in the Denver area. I am sorry I have to limit this to 20 people at this time.

 Remember, I will be sending you personal information from your natal chart not random ideas that would fit millions. 

 If you need or require more detail from any NM or FM, I will be available for $ 2.00 a minute either by phone or skype. 

 I am delighted to support you in all your goals and objectives with my knowledge of Astrology.   You will receive an email twice a month with my personal interpretation of the New Moon or Full Moon influence in your chart.  It will also include any transits that I feel will impact you during this time.  It will be like having me in your back pocket. 

I love being able to offer you this kind of personal support with Astrology!

Now let’s focus on this New Moon.  This New Moon is at 26 degrees of Aquarius.  It is conjunct the Sun, Chiron, and Neptune.  There are a lot of cycles merging at this time, and as I say that, this cycle seems to be the most influential.  This NM sends you in a new direction but not without fear. (Neptune) In what house does this land for you?  This will tell you where this new beginning will take place.   The challenge that comes with this New Moon is one of not knowing the outcome but trusting that whatever happens can only be better than the past.  Aquarius is an intellectual air sign and its major appeal is inspiration.  You will be inspired by the thoughts and application of this New Moon.  There is still a Pluto square to Saturn but you are surely coming thru the worst of it.  The magic word for Pluto Saturn aspects is surrender.

 Mars in Leo at 4 degrees is making a quincunx aspect to Pluto and a similar quincunx aspect to the Venus Jupiter conjunction in Pisces.  They call this The Finger of God aspect.  Two quincunxes and an opposition are the makings of The Finger of God aspect.  The opposition is Mars opposing Mercury.   What does this aspect mean? This aspect gives energy and originality in solving difficult situations.  The Finger of God aspect points to Mars in Leo.  Leo is the house that will experience an influx of energy and originality.  Mars also makes a sextile to Saturn supplying you with some structural opportunities.  On the 16^th and 17^th of February there will be a wonderful Venus conjunct Jupiter.  Depending on where it is located in your chart will bring concentrated good news.  This New Moon is decisional as it is leading to March 10^th when Mars will go direct and certain situations will become solidified.  Mars will be a 0 degrees for 3 weeks which will slow things down considerably.

The two weeks between the Full Moon Eclipse of December 31^st, 2009 and the New Moon Eclipse are especially challenging.  Mars is still retrograde as is Mercury until the 15^th of January.  Saturn and Pluto are in square and challenging you.  I know this has been a difficult period as many of you called me for a personal reading.  I want to make some things clear.  If you think of situations as either “bad or good,” then this Saturn Pluto square may have put a dent in your plans.  I want you to consider that these are changes, no more and no less.  They may be difficult or easy but they are simply changes that challenge your current plans.  This New Moon Eclipse tells where we will expend most of our energy for the next 6 months.  If we are lucky, 3 months, but depending on the cycle we are watching, it could go as long as a year.   I don’t want to boggle you with cycles so let’s get to this New Moon Eclipse.

This New Moon Eclipse consists of a square from transiting Saturn to transiting Pluto and Mercury.  That immediately tells me that there are intense and powerful conversations taking place asking you for a plan in order to solve some unexpected situation.  The main part of the NME is the conjunction to Venus and the sextile to transiting Uranus.  This is an indication that whatever is going to express itself will happen unexpectedly and quickly and will concern money and/or love.  This is opportunity knocking.

Back to Saturn square Pluto exact during this NME can be a total change in direction that requires thought and planning.   Remember: Saturn is structure and Pluto is transformation.  That is the essence of what you will be doing.  If you have any planets at or around 4 degrees of Cardinal signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra or Capricorn), you will be affected.  Mars continues to retrograde until March 10^th, 2010 when you will decide a way to proceed that will best fit your current situation.  Mercury retrograde will go direct on the 15^th conjunct the New Moon Eclipse keeping things in the correct prospective.   Because this is a Cardinal Eclipse, you will be challenged to assert yourself and in that assertion fulfill this energy quest.  Situations can change without any notice, especially, up to and including the eclipse.  This Eclipse will ask you to make a plan and stay very flexible until the eclipse is over in 6 months.  Saturn is transiting in Libra and Libra is a Cardinal sign all by itself.  Think action but action without a plan is chaos.

I will be putting up an article about Jupiter in Pisces shortly written by my friend Vickie Radford.  Let her know if you like it.  Look for Jupiter in Pisces..

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)

Jupiter will be entering Pisces and expanding your goals.

 GEMINI-(May 21-June 20)

This New Moon Eclipse takes place in your 8^th house of partnership resources, other people’s money, sex, death and taxes.  It is conjunct Venus and sextile to transiting Uranus in your 10^th house of career.  Money and/or love opportunities seem to appear very unexpectedly from the career sector of your chart.  More importantly, there is a square aspect between transiting Saturn in your 5^th house of children, creativity and love affairs and transiting Pluto conjunct Mercury in your 8^th house.  This can be a disruptive aspect as it challenges your 8^th house of partnership finances and Mercury.   It begs for a plan but the change is clearly in focus as we speak.  The object of the game is to stay focused and be flexible.  Do not let chaos rule your soul.  Jupiter will fast be entering Pisces, your 10^th house of career and standing in the community.  This will open doors for you and enhance your career base.  Remember, the Eclipse can last for 6 months

This New Moon Eclipse takes place in your 7^th house of partnership. (Business or Personal)  It conjuncts Venus and sextiles transiting Uranus in the 9^th house of philosophy, legal matters, higher education, publishing, philosophy and foreign affairs. This means there are opportunities that can quantify for partnership status if given a chance.  More important is the square aspect between transiting Saturn in the 4^th house of home and transiting Pluto conjunct Mercury that takes place in the 7^th house of partnership that makes us consider new challenges to partnerships that seem to require a distinct plan if they are to be successful.   Jupiter is currently approaching Pisces. That will take place in your 9^th house and open the door to new and expanded philosophies, legal matters and foreign affairs.  This Eclipse asks you to make a plan to go forward but be very flexible.

LEO-(July 23-August 22)

This New Moon Eclipse takes place in your 6^th house of everyday work and health.  The NME is conjunct transiting Venus and sextile transiting Uranus in your 8^th house of partnership resources, other people’s money, sex, death and taxes.  This is opportunity, folks, and opportunity to connect with the object of your affection at work or to receive the opportunity of increased finances from some pre- determined point.  Mars is going retrograde in your 1^st house of personality and is delaying you from moving forward at this time.  As it continues to retrograde until March 10, 2010, you will be internalizing all that has happened so far.   Transiting Saturn in your 3^rd house of communication and community is squaring transiting Pluto conjunct Mercury in your 6^th house of everyday work and health.  This aspect pleads for a plan and it may not be easy to do as this aspect can be disruptive.   Mercury goes direct on this NME and requires flexibility as well a good plan.

VIRGO-(August 23-September 22)

This New Moon Eclipse takes place in your 5^th house of children, creativity and love affairs.  It is conjunct Venus which informs us the subject is either money or love.  It also forms a sextile aspect with transiting Uranus in the 7^th house of partnerships.  Opportunity is the name of this game.  You have had Saturn in your 1^st house for the last 2 years and it has recently moved into Libra.  It will be returning to Virgo to complete things that have been unresolved.  It moves into Libra in July to resume the Libra transit.  So, you are not finished with Saturn yet.  At this time transiting Saturn is in your 2^nd house of love and personal money making a square to transiting Pluto conjunct Mercury in your 5^th house of children, creativity and love affairs.  This aspect requires a plan that is suggested by Saturn square Mercury in dealing with some disruptive situation.  Since Pluto is involved, you can be sure it is a matter of transformation that is taking place in your 5^th house of children, creativity and love affairs.  Be flexible. 

LIBRA-(September 23-October 22)

This New Moon Eclipse takes place in your 4^th house of home and core issues.  It is conjunct transiting Venus and sextile Uranus in the 6^th house of everyday work and health.  This can be a work or health opportunity that appears quite suddenly and is a positive opportunity for you.  At the same time there is a transiting Saturn in your 1^st house that is squaring transiting Pluto in your 4^th house of home and core issues.  This is important as it demands that you take account of yourself and your home.  You will be examining what you need and relieving yourself of the excess baggage you have been carrying.  This can be anything that you thought was useful at the time but have now become burdensome.  You need a plan of action in order to accomplish certain changes in your home along with transforming your inner self.  The challenges you face with this NME will be around for the next 6 months.  Note: the ruler of Libra is Venus so your ruler is involved in the NME; therefore, you will have the opportunity to define how you appear to people and yourself.

 SCORPIO-(October 24-November 22)

This New Moon Eclipse takes place in your 3^rd house emphasizing communication and community.  This NME is conjunct transiting Venus and sextile transiting Uranus in your 5^th house of children, creativity and love affairs.  Venus rules your 12^th house of behind-the-scenes activity, the past, the subconscious and institutions.  There seems to be some opportunity lurking for you that involves the past and it appears very unexpectedly.  Not to burst your bubble, but along with that is a transiting Saturn square transiting Pluto Mercury conjunction causing a disruption in your immediate area and with communications.  This seems to be coming from behind- the-scenes or the past and is disruptive.  This square has been around for a long time but with this NME it comes sharply into focus.  Plan and assertion are the story of the day.  Mercury goes direct and forces you to make an immediate plan to move forward.   

 SAGITTARIUS-(November 22-December 21)

This NME takes place in your 2^nd house of personal values and finances.  The challenges will involve these issues.  The NME is conjunct transiting Venus and ruler of your 11^th house of goals in sextile to Uranus in your 4^th house of home and core issues.  This is opportunity knocking.  At the same time you have a transiting Saturn conjunct transiting Pluto and Mercury.  This is very disruptive and will require planning and the ability to think creatively in order to achieve the maximum benefit.  Saturn begs for a plan to reduce the chaos of this current transformation.  Mercury will be going direct and promises you the correct plan for your situation. If you can look beyond the disruption, you will find an opportunity. 

CAPRICORN-(December 22-January 19)

This NME takes place in your 1^st house of personality and appearance.  There are two parts to this Eclipse.  The 1^st part is the NME itself conjunct transiting Venus in your 1^st house and sextile transiting Uranus in your 3^rd house of communication and community.  You look good to the world at large and you could be ushered into the limelight quite suddenly.  Communications are unexpected as is the attention.  The 2^nd part is the transiting Saturn in your 10^th house of career and standing in the community square to transiting Pluto conjunct Mercury also in your 1^st house.  This is a disruption in the life and plans that you hold.   Saturn square Mercury requires a plan to help you deal with the disruption, or change, that is brought by this potent square.  Mars is still retrograde in your 8^th house of partnership finances internalizing past actions.  This is personal to you.

 AQUARIUS-(January 20-February 19)

This New Moon Eclipse takes place in your 12^th house of behind-the-scenes activity, the past, the subconscious and institutions.  It comes in two parts. The 1^st is the NME conjunct transiting Venus, ruler of your 9^th house of philosophy, legal matters, higher education, publishing and foreign affairs  in sextile to transiting Uranus in the 2^nd house of personal finances and values.  (Love) The simplest way to describe this is a personal opportunity from the past.  The 2^nd part is a bit stronger in detail.  This Eclipse has a transiting Saturn in the 9^th house square transiting Pluto and Mercury in the 12^th house.  This is disruptive and requires that you make plans immediately to counteract the effects of this transformation.  Creative thinking is necessary and useful at this time.  The best thing to do is to be flexible and plan.  Saturn in the 9^th is the operative square.  Repositioning is required.

PISCES-(February 20-March 20)

This New Moon Eclipse takes place in your 11^th house of goals, hopes and wishes.  It is a two-part Eclipse.  The main part of the NME is conjunct Venus, ruler of your 8^th house of partnership resources and other peoples money in sextile to Uranus in your 1^st house of personality and appearance.  This is an unexpected opportunity to enhance your goals, hopes and wishes.  The other part of this Eclipse is a square between transiting Saturn in your 8^th house of partnership finances and Pluto conjunct Mercury in your 11^th house of goals, hopes and wishes.  This can be disruptive and require planning and out-of-the box thinking to accomplish.  The main things to remember are to be flexibility and to keep focused. 

Happy Hollidays

I’m back from Chicago and as my eyes glaze over at all the work ahead of me, I often wonder why they don’t give awards for the most work done in the least amount of time.  I think every woman would qualify for that Oscar.  Christmas is upon us and the rush for the holidays has started early.  Presents, cookies, home-made everything, parties and gatherings, all make for a hectic time.  It’s no wonder that we are having a stressful holiday and then to have transiting Saturn square transiting Pluto.  I know some of you have a deep abiding fear of Saturn, but I want you to take a minute to rethink that attitude.  Without Saturn there wouldn’t be any structure to anything.   Let that thought roam around for awhile in your imagination.  Saturn demands structure and if you don’t have the necessary quantity or quality of structure, it will surely stop you from moving ahead.  Pluto is in Capricorn at this time and is in the process of transforming that sign in your chart.  Transformation without structure is total chaos.  If you add to this soup any natal planets you may have in early degrees of Cardinal  signs, you will certainly see the need for as much structure as possible.  Since this square appears in Cardinal signs, I want you to realize that something is brewing in all your Cardinal houses.  The other important thing is that Uranus will be entering Aries for a long transit.  This is another Cardinal sign.   Cardinal is initiatory, assertive and action.  Are we getting a clue as to what is coming?   This is a Cardinal T-square, involving transiting Saturn in Libra, transiting Uranus in Aries and transiting Pluto in Capricorn.  If any of you have any natal planets in early Cardinal to add to the mix, it will describe the changes in store for you.   Even if you don’t have  any natal planets involved, these transits tell  where the action will be taking place in our lives. 

The relationship with Mars and Saturn are very much connected.  Mars in Leo and going retrograde later this month is a reality check for the next 3 months.  I know that Saturn is in Libra at this time and this is a great opportunity for you to see how you will be spending the Saturn in Libra cycle in August of 2010.  On December 20,^th 2009 Mars will go retrograde, at 19 degrees of Leo.  Mars will be retrograde in January and February and until March 10^th, giving you an opportunity to make adjustments in the first 3 months of Mars in Leo.  On March 10^th 2010, Mars will be in the same position it was in on October 17^th, 2009 giving you the opportunity to re-do that first 3 months and make  any changes you deem necessary.  Mars will not go retrograde again after March 10^th, 2010 until the next time Saturn changes signs in three years.

In the coming month there is a New Moon at 24 degrees of Sagittarius and, if you know Sag like I know Sag, you will be stretching yourself quite thin.   This New Moon makes a square to Uranus so expect the unexpected.  I will try to elaborate on this more in the individual forecasts.  Saturn has passed the square to Pluto, but not by much, so I imagine that you will still be feeling a bit stressed.  Mars and Venus are making a love connection so keep batting those eyelashes.  The Full Moon will be in Cancer at 10 degrees on December 31, 2009.  Remember the New Moon brings in the challenge and the Full Moon resolves it. 

Jupiter finally conjuncts Neptune on December 20^th thru the 24^th and is the harbinger of strong spiritual and mental revelations.  Be cautious of exaggerations and the tune of reality for neither will be correct. Drugs and alcohol are not a good choice at this time.

Did you know that Mars can fire off a Saturn transit?  If you have Saturn transiting any natal planet, whenever Mars hits a square to that same point, it will fire off the Saturn transit.  If you want to hear more about this …drop me a line.

 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 New Moon takes place in your 9^th house of philosophy, higher education, legal matters and foreign affairs.  This is a mental house and brings your inner philosophy to the forefront.  The challenge here can be one of character or integrity.  You might even say a challenge to the way you want to live.   Uranus in square from your 12^th house of the past may bring in people or events of the past very unexpectedly. Mars is in your 5^th house of children, creativity, and love affairs and trines the New Moon offering an easy go of it when it comes to 5^th house matters.  On December 20^th, 2009 Mars goes retrograde and some projects don’t proceed as you expect.  Saturn is transiting your 7^th house  and will be redesigning your attitude about partnerships in this current Saturn cycle.

TAURUS-(April 20-May 20)

This New Moon takes place in your 8^th house of partnership finances and other people’s money, sex, death, and taxes.  This challenge will have to do with money, but not your money.  This is any money you may receive from work, mortgage and/or partnership finances.  This New Moon squares Uranus in the 11^th house of hopes and wishes.  If you have a good aspect between the Sun and Uranus in your natal chart, you will love this square because it will bring in something positive in an exciting way. If you have a negative aspect with Uranus and the Sun in your natal chart, this will be difficult because of its unexpectedness.   The New Moon is in trine to Mars in your 4^th house of home signaling a good time for home entertaining.  Mars goes retrograde in your 4^th house and some things that deal with the home may be delayed until March.

 CANCER-(June 21-July 22)

This New Moon takes place in your 6^th house of everyday work and health.  The challenges will appear in this sector of your life with Uranus in Square from the 10^th house of career.  Unexpected developments may arise and can either be exciting or uncomfortable depending on the natal aspect between the Sun and Uranus.   Mars in your 2^nd house of personal finances makes a luscious trine to this NM.  This may be a bonus or some kind of financial gain.  On December 20, 2009 Mars will go retrograde in this 2^nd house which will delay some financial issues.  You may also find that things are just not working in the way you thought they would.  Don’t worry.  You will get the opportunity to re-do everything on March 10^th, 2010, only this time Mars does not go retrograde. 

LEO-(July 23-August 22)

This NM takes place in your 5^th house of children, creativity and love affairs and offers you a challenge regarding this area of your chart.  Uranus is transiting your 9^th house of philosophy, legal matters, education and foreign affairs and is square the NM.  You may be invited to a party very unexpectedly or decide to have a party of your own.  This 9^th house event will be filled with unexpected attitude and holiday cheer.  Mars  in your 1^st house trining this NM indicates that you are very much into doing whatever is necessary  in order to achieve what you want.   You have a plan.  Mars will go retrograde in your 1^st house on December 20^th, 2009 and some of your personal plans may not go the way you expect.  Not to worry.  This will be an important and informational delay.  Jupiter will conjunct Neptune from December 20^th to the 24^th in your 7^th house of partnerships describing celebrations.

This can be business or personal or both.  Mars is transiting your 12^th house of behind-the-scenes activity, the past and preparation trining this NM and ushering in positive events.   Mars in this 12^th house has been  and will continue to redefine this area of your life.  On December 20^th, 2009 Mars will go retrograde and issues you thought were etched in stone are starting to crumble before your eyes.  Not to worry.  Sometimes we have to act on situations to see where they will go.  The opportunity to redo the last 3 months will come on March 10^th.   There is a Jupiter conjunct Neptune on December 20^th  to the 24^th urging you to beware of over-exaggerating your everyday work situation.  LIBRA-(September 23-October 22)

This NM takes place in your 3^rd house of communications and community.    This NM will improve communications and permit you to arrange festivities for the holiday season.  Uranus transiting the 6^th house of everyday work and health is in square to the NM putting an unexpected work situation or health issue in conflict with your personal desires.   Mars is transiting your 11^th house of hopes, wishes and goals and trines this NM  thus bringing your goals into reaching distance.  Jupiter will conjunct Neptune from December 20^th to December 24^th in your 5^th house of children, creativity and romance reminding  you to recognize situations built on illusion or delusion.

This retrograde brings you closer to what you really want. 

  SAGITTARIUS-(November 22-December 21)

This New Moon takes place in your 1st house of personality and how you appear to the outside world.  The challenge is personal, very personal.  The NM seems to be shedding a lot of light on you and you and may not be comfortable in the limelight.  This is the season of excellence for you and all eyes are on you.  Mars is transiting your 9^th house of philosophy, legal matters, education, and foreign affairs forming a trine to the NM adding a bit of ease.  This will be a busy and celebratory month for you.  Mars goes retrograde on December 20^th, 2009 allowing for situations to readjust to the coming New Year.  Jupiter will conjunct Neptune from December 20^th to the 24^th making this holiday season one for the record books.    CAPRICORN-(December 22-January 19)

This New Moon takes place in your 12th house of the past, the subconscious, seclusion, preparation and institutions.  Unexpected communications will arrive and challenge your plans for the holidays.  Uranus in the 3^rd house of communications and community is squaring this NM allowing all this to transpire. Mars transiting your 8^th house of partnership finances, sex, death and taxes moves with a favorable energy to make things a little easier.   Mars goes retrograde on December 20^th allowing you to see how far you have come during these last three months.  Issues develop and start to reveal themselves as this retrograde continues.  Sometimes life does not travel a straight line. Jupiter conjuncts Neptune from December 20^th to the 24^th ushering in a time when finances can be over-exaggerated or feelings may take a romantic route.  (Reality is pretty puffed up, like a hot air balloon.)

AQUARIUS-(January 20-February 19)

This New Moon takes place in your 11th house of hopes, wishes and goals bringing in some unexpected financial challenges as to how you want to spend your holidays.  Also this month, Jupiter in your 1^st house conjuncts Neptune and acknowledges your desires.  This Jupiter Neptune conjunction occurs on December 20^th thru the 24^th , 2009.  I believe these are promises that we have been making to ourselves during this Jupiter transit.  Now the possibilities are in sight but are they real?  Mars transiting the 7^th house of partnerships (business or personal) has been circling the area trying to exploit minor partnership infractions.  This Mars goes retrograde on December 20^th, 2009 and allows you to revisit the last 3 months and see what is worth saving.  You continue to make new attitude adjustments in the next 3 months.

PISCES-(February 20-March 20)

This New Moon takes place in your 10^th house of career and standing in the community challenging you with unexpected career developments.  This is definitely a season for parties, especially with Mars transiting your 6^th house of everyday work and health in a fire trine to this NM.  This can prove to be very good for you career- wise.  Mars does go retrograde on December 20^th, 2009 giving you the opportunity to rethink and review the happenings of the last 3 months.  Jupiter conjuncts Neptune, your ruler, in the 12^th house of behind-the-scenes activity, the past, the subconscious and institutions.   This can be a spiritual awakening and a cause for new mystical understandings.  Uranus has been transiting your 1^st house for quite some time now and the idea that it is getting ready to move into Aries is quite an inspiring thought.  

This is an exceptional New Moon because it lands at 25 degrees of Libra.  What is so exceptional, you say?  Well, let me count the ways.   First, this NM is in a Cardinal sign and represents assertive mental and social energy.  Second, this is the turning point to the July 22nd, 2009 Eclipse and is exactly square the Eclipse in July. Third, Mars is about to enter Leo on the New Moon ushering in a Mars cycle that will repeat everything we do from Oct. 17^th, 2009 until December 19^th, 2009.  As Mars retrogrades, issues arise that force you to reexamine your current direction.   Mars will reach 0 degrees of Leo on Feb. 28^th, 2010 and will remain there until March 21^st, 2010.  This period of time puts you in the same position that you were in on Oct. 18, 2009 only with more knowledge and, maybe, even a slight change in direction.  Thru the years I have watched this cycle and found that you can never really put your finger on the outcome.  Just know that it will refocus issues in concert with the Saturn re-entry into Virgo on April 8^th 2010.

This New Moon trines transiting Jupiter, Chiron and Neptune encouraging your dreams of expansion. Mars is inconjunct Pluto pleading for an adjustment to take place.  Transiting Venus is squaring transiting Pluto pressuring you in terms of relationships and finances.  Although this seems like a lot to digest, the challenges that you face at this time are instrumental in achieving your desired goals.

Saturn does enter Libra at the end of the month but nothing goes any further than January 14, 2010 when Saturn turns retrograde headed for 27 degrees of Virgo and its final sojourn thru the last degrees of Virgo.

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

ARIES-(March 21-April 19)

This New Moon takes place in your 7^th house of partnerships.  There is pressure all around you.  Your 7^th house is stacked.  Career issues, energy issues, work issues, and financial issues all seem to be hitting you at once.  There are still indications that Uranus and Saturn are in orb of making your work and behind the scenes activity difficult to manage.  The most important aspect is Mars entering your 5^th house of children, creativity and recreation.   This Mars will trine your ascendant and provide you with personal energy and a new direction to follow.  If you have planets in a fire sign between the 0 and 19 degrees, this will be an awesome adventure.  These next couple of months holds the ideas and desires that you will manifest in July of 2010.

TAURUS-(April 20-May 20)

This New Moon takes place in your 6^th house of everyday work and health.  The Eclipse took place in your 3^rd house of communications and community in July of 2009.  Well, this is the turning point or change in that situation.  Since it takes place in your 6^th house of everyday work, I assume that it will involve your everyday work or this will manifest as a health issue.  You are looking at a new direction and your expectations  force you to evolve.  You are pushing hard for 9^th house issues but your biggest energy outlay with be in your 4^th house of home and core issues. The home is an outward manifestation of your inner self.  It seems that much has to be done in order for you to move forward with your plans.  January will complete this Eclipse cycle.  The energy is changing from earth to air.  That means from the practical to inceptions.  Take advantage of your creativity and continue to journal these next couple of months. 

GEMINI-(May 21-June 20)

This New Moon takes place in your 5^th house of children, creativity and recreation.  This is the turning point of the Eclipse of July 22^nd 2009 in your second house of love and finances.   There are opportunities that open up from 9^th house issues and provide you with insights for new directions.  The pressure comes to you from issues that deal with partnership finances or money from other people.  Communications and community will be the melody of the future. (Mars in Leo in 3^rd)  Watch these areas for the inspiration that comes from familiarity.  This NM trines your ascendant and 9^th house allowing you full use of your cognitive abilities.   

CANCER-(June 21-July 22)

This New Moon takes place in your 4^th house of home and core issues.  The 4^th house is representative of your home but on a deeper level, it reveals what your needs and abilities are at this time.  The Eclipse of July 22, 2009 took place in your 1^st house of personality and how people see you.  You have now reached the turning point to that specific incident and you ask yourself if this is what you want.  This is the next step in your journey to accomplishment.  Your major energy outlay will be in dealing with personal values and personal finances.  Mars entering the 2^nd house will re-define your personal values and finances in the next 6 months. The accent is love and money.

LEO-(July 23-August 22)

This New Moon takes place in your 3^rd house of communications and community.  The challenges that appear at this time are very important in your desire for specific accomplishments.  Mars entering your 1^st house of personality and how you appear to the world will be the foundation that you build on in the next 6 months.  This Mars will act as a mini-Saturn in redefining you and how you look to the world.  (I don’t just mean physically, either.)   Mars in the 1^st house indicates movement, travel, promotion and taking personal control over who and what you are.  This prelude of Mars in your 1^st house for the next 6 months prepares the way for Saturn’s re-entry into Libra, your 3^rd house of communications and community in July of 2010.  This Mars transit will definitely prepare you for the near future. 

VIRGO-(August 23-September 22)

This New Moon takes place in your 2^nd house of personal finances, love and values.  Saturn leaving Virgo and entering Libra will definitely leave its mark on the new you.  The previous 2 ½ years have literally taken your old outworn self and refashioned you into a new updated version of yourself.  We could call it “Project Your Way.”  Now Saturn is heading into your second house of values but before any of this starts to gel, Mars will be transiting your 12^th house of behind the scenes activity and activating your past.  This could be time that you spend in preparation or contemplation.  Mars will activate this area of your life for the next 6 months.  Challenges come with the NM in the 2^nd house.  This is a major time for you to start planning for the transit of Saturn in Libra.  You know what’s coming so now you can make a plan to deal with it.

 LIBRA-(September 23-October 22)

This New Moon takes place in your 1^st house of personality and how you appear to the public.  This is a very social time and a NM in this position offers challenges to changing your persona to the outside world.  How does this time make you different?  What has changed?  The answers to these questions will present you with new   challenges for the future.   Mars entering your 11^th house of hopes, wishes and goals will act like a mini-Saturn and refine and define new goals for you. This is in preparation for Saturn’s return entry into Libra in September.  Meanwhile, Mars will be taking over for about 6 months.  Good job, Libra.

  SCORPIO-(October 24-November 22)

This New Moon takes place in your 12^th house of behind the scenes activity, the past and preparation.  This is the turning point to the Eclipse of July 22, 2009 that took place in your 9^th house of legal matters, philosophy, higher education and foreign affairs.  This is a turning point and the challenges that appear seem to put you  much closer to your desired goals.  As Mars steps into Leo, career matters will be up for redefinition and redefining.  Mars will act like a mini-Saturn and urge you to make the appropriate changes to move you forward and redefine your career.  This will be in effect for the next 6 months and prepare you for Saturn’s re-entry into Virgo in July of 2010.

 SAGITTARIUS-(November 22-December 21)

This New Moon takes place in your 11^th house of hopes, wishes and goals.   The challenges that arrive with this NM point you in a direction that is necessary for you to look at and to make some decisions on your current goals. This is also the turning point or square to the Eclipse of July 22, 2009 that took place in your 8^th house of partnership finances.  Mars is very important at this stage and will act as a mini-Saturn during the next 6 months.  Mars will enter your 9^th house of legal matters, philosophy, foreign affairs and education, redefining these areas for you.  Saturn is on the move and entering your 11^th house of goals.  You are preparing for Saturn’s re-entry into Libra in July.

 CAPRICORN-(December 22-January 19)

The New Moon takes place in your 10^th house of career.  This is the turning point, or square to the Eclipse that took place on July 22, 2009 in your 7^th house of partnerships.  The most important aspect of this NM is Mars’s entrance into Leo, your 8^th house of partnership finances, sex, death and taxes.  This is where Mars acts as a mini-Saturn and redefines all your 8^th house matters.   This lasts for the next 6 months.  This simple little Mars retrograde will direct and focus you for the re-entry of Saturn into Libra in July of 2010.

AQUARIUS-(January 20-February 19)

This New Moon takes place in your 9^th house of legal matters, philosophy, higher education and foreign affairs.  This is a turning point to the Eclipse of July 22, 2009 in your 6^th house of everyday work and health.  The challenges that appear with this NM will help direct your energy to your desired goals.  The most important aspect is the Mars entrance into your 7^th house of partnerships.  This does not bode well for partnerships.  The focus will be on redefining partnerships so they will be workable during the next re-entry transit of Saturn in Libra in July of 2010.  Partnership issues take up the next 6 months.  Because this NM is in Libra, it is in trine to your Sun, Ascendant and transiting Aquarius planets.  Enjoy.

PISCES-(February 20-March 20)

This New Moon takes place in your 8^th house of partnership resources, sex, death and taxes.  This NM is the turning point to the July 22^nd Eclipse that took place in your 5^th house of creativity, children and love affairs.  The most important aspect of this NM is Mars entering Leo, your 6^th house of everyday work and health.  The Mars transit will act as a mini-Saturn and redefine your 6^th house of everyday work and health.  This lasts for the next 6 months and prepares the way for Saturn’s re-entry into Libra in July of 2010.  Saturn does enter Libra at the end of the month but because of the Mars transit, it will not fulfill itself until its final re-entry into Libra in July of 2010. 

In my planning for this New Moon I was under the impression that it would be around September 24, 2009.  Imagine my surprise when I looked at the Ephemeris for this coming New Moon and it said September 18^th.  This NM is very important as it starts something for everyone that requires dedication, duty and/or responsibility.

This coming NM is at 26 degrees of Virgo in conjunct aspect to the Saturn Uranus opposition.  We are looking at a new beginning with this NM, but a NM conjunct transiting Saturn.  I imagine that the Saturn Uranus opposition will feed into this at some point, either before or at the time of the New Moon.   This New Moon may very well be a result of the Saturn Uranus opposition.  The Saturn Uranus opposition takes place in Virgo and Pisces at 24 degrees.  For those of us who have Saturn and Uranus in a harmonious aspect in our natal chart, this will be a relatively exciting and interesting change, certainly nothing you expected.  If your natal chart holds a difficult aspect between Saturn and Uranus,  the opposition will be stressful.  This NM conjunct transiting Saturn bellows a new beginning.  This is a beginning that entails more responsibility, restriction and a definite new base for building a foundation.  As we move through this energy, take note of what you wanted 2 years ago.   In the next couple of months it will be yours.   Also during this NM, Mercury is retrograde and squaring transiting Pluto causing intense and emotional communications.    Where does this aspect take place in your chart? 

If you read your ascendant sign first, it will be more meaningful for you.

ARIES-(March 21-April 19)

This New Moon takes place in your 6^th house of everyday work and health. The implication is that you will be taking on new responsibilities in regards to work and/or health.   Uranus opposes Saturn from the 12^th house of the past, preparation, the subconscious and institutions.  Be prepared for some conflict in these areas.   Some people are frightened at the prospect of a Saturn aspect, especially when it is in opposition to Uranus, but always remember that whatever leaves was not serving you any longer.  Some changes tend to be more stressful than others solely because of fear of the unknown.  This NM will take up the energy and direct you into making a new and stronger foundation in your health and everyday work.  The Moon will also conjunct retrograde Mercury and square Pluto from the NM position.  This promises a large amount of emotional and intense communications in dealing with career matters.

 TAURUS-(April 20-May 20)

This New Moon takes place in your 5^th house of children, creativity, love affairs and investment.  This NM sends a signal of added responsibility and new foundational changes that take place in your 5^th house.  At the same time the Uranus opposition seems to bring your goals in conflict with this new direction.  You may have to decide what is more important and bite the bullet on these matters.  Saturn has been redefining this area of your chart for awhile and, if this comes as a shock to you, its time to pay more attention.  There may be some intense and emotional rhetoric going on that focuses on education or legal affairs.  The results being that there may be some issues that fail to show their relevance in your life.   Take time to digest all that is happening and where you are headed.  Whatever happens in Virgo will be harmonious to your ascendant and/or Sun.  The new cycle is fast approaching.

 GEMINI-(May 21-June 20)

This New Moon takes place in your 4^th house of home and core issues.  This places Uranus in your 10^th house of career.  This NM brings in some new beginning that requires more responsibility on your part and the final release of a conflict.  Saturn in Virgo is in square by sign to your ascendant asking you to look carefully at what you have built for yourself.  Your core issues especially involving your home has gone thru substantial changes. These last two years have not been easy but what you have is a new foundation in your 4^th house of home and a renewed sense of self.  After this NM you will be headed for new territory.  Communications tend to encompass matters that deal with money, especially other people’s money and/or partnership funds.   

CANCER-(June 21-July 22)

This New Moon takes place in your 3^rd house of communications, community, brothers and sisters.  In so many ways you have chosen to substantiate this area of your chart for the last two years.   As you move into this NM, you will notice that some issues will come up unexpectedly and change your life.  It has been some conflict that has kept you from change.  Guess what?  This is the last conflict of this nature and it slowly disappears into the sunset after this next 2 weeks. The other change to look for is a new beginning in your 3^rd house of community and communications, that will require more responsibility and dedication on your part.  Partnership communications prove to be powerful and intense. You are entering new territory.

 LEO-(July 23-August 22)

This New Moon takes place in your 2^nd house of values and personal money.  The most important issue that you have faced in the last two years has been your values.  Values have everything to do with self worth.  So you may have had to look at issues that deal with self worth.  Money is an outward manifestation of self worth.  This is a personal yardstick by which we measure our expectations.  You have been redefining these areas in your life and in the next  couple of months you embark upon new challenges pertaining to your future.  You will leave some value issues (money or love) behind with this Uranus opposition to transiting Saturn and replace it with dedication and restraint.  Communication from your everyday work and health are intense and strong.   

 VIRGO-(August 23-September 22)

This New Moon takes place in your 1^st house of personality.  Saturn transiting in this position has been redefining your image and how people see you, and, more importantly, how you see yourself.  This is the beginning of a 30 year cycle. You are at the helm of this ship from now on.  Uranus opposes Saturn in your 1st house from the 7^th house of partnerships.  This indicates some conflicts will resolve whether you like it or not.  This new freedom gives you the dedication and strength to begin a new personal challenge that will require dedication and restraint from you. If you have the Sun or other planets close to this position, it will be quite a powerful NM for you.  There are strong communications that develop around the subjects of children, creativity and love affairs.  Be advised that you are heading into new territory and the experience will be a lot lighter. 

LIBRA-(September 23-October 22)

This New Moon takes place in your 12^th house of the past, preparation,  institutions, behind the scenes activity and clandestine relationships.  The last 2 years you have been clearing out lots of old baggage, both emotional and physical from your life.  You have mostly been riding the sidelines preferring to keep a low profile in order to deal with the baggage you have been accumulating up to this point.  This NM presents some challenges that only you can appreciate.  Issues that have brought conflict into your life are now going to be removed.  This may not be the way you want things but, in truth, whatever you release enables your personal growth.   Subconscious matters that have ruled your life in the past or present.  It is important to realize that the new beginning may involve your dedication to the future and what you really want in your life.  Communications can be intense and powerful. 

  SCORPIO-(October 24-November 22)

This New Moon takes place in your 11^th house of hopes, wishes and goals.  Saturn has been transiting your 11^th house redefining your goals.  As we approach the NM of this month, you will notice that it comes in with a bang.  The implication is that Uranus in your 5^th house relieves you of some conflict you have been having in regards to children, creativity and love affairs.  This may be sudden or unexpected but its time to move on.  Contingent on the Uranus opposition to Saturn there is a NM conjunct Saturn that echoes responsibility and restraint with incoming challenges.  Communications in relation to your goals can be strong and intense.  Your world is changing and you are in the driver’s seat.  

SAGITTARIUS-(November 22-December 21)

This New Moon takes place in your 10^th house of career conjunct Saturn and in opposition to Uranus.  Trust me when I say that changes are coming. In the last 2 years you have been redefining career matters.  In the next month there will be some new commitments that you dedicate yourself to.  The Uranus opposition to Saturn from the 4^th house of home and core issues asks you to release conflict in that area of your life.  You are headed into a new cycle next month complete with new challenges and expectations.  A lot of what comes in will be so much easier for you to contend with. Communications that deal with finances can be intense and powerful. Watch this month as much of what this last 2 years was about slaps you on the back. Congratulations are in order; you have achieved a certain victory. 

CAPRICORN-(December 22-January 19)

This New Moon takes place in your 9^th house of legal matters, higher education, philosophy and foreign affairs.  Along with the NM Saturn will be in direct opposition to Uranus transiting the 3^rd house of communications and community.  Some conflict will leave your life and put you in the position to dedicate all of your energy to achieving your desires.   Saturn conjunct the NM will place new responsibility and restraint at the top of your priority list. You are on your way to a pinnacle that you have been steadily preparing.  As Saturn moves into Libra, things will get a lot easier and you will have reached more of the pinnacle.  Try not to burn any bridges if you can help it.   

AQUARIUS-(January 20-February 19)

This New Moon takes place in your 8^th house of partnership finances and money from other people.  The NM will be conjunct Saturn and signal a new beginning involving 8^th house matters.  The 8^th house does have some significant importance in regard to finances but it is exactly the opposite view.  The question is what you will give me for my money or my love? The correct answer is (Anything of equal value.)  This may be brought about by the Uranus opposition to Saturn that takes place on or around the New Moon.  The opposition stems from the 2^nd house of finances and personal money and love.  This reverts back to self worth and what we believe we are worth.  Communications from the past seem to be stronger and more concise.  Take time to think during this NM and examine where you have been and where you are going.  A new cycle is just around the corner.

PISCES-(February 20-March 20)

This New Moon takes place in your 7^th house of partnership, personal or business, or dealing with the public.  As this New Moon approaches, you will notice that some conflict arises that makes it impossible for you to continue in the direction you were going.  You will have to contend with those issues pretty much on demand.  Some issues will leave your life whether you approve or not but they will significantly improve your aspects for the future.  Whatever leaves, let it go.  It will be replaced with something better. This puts you in a position of new responsibilities and restraints.  You’re heading for a new cycle next month that will usher in the Saturn in Libra transit.  Communications about the future are strong and intense.

To all my astrological fans, we have survived the triple eclipse.  From my feedback, I have seen that some issues have been totally realized this week and others are on the time continuum of the ordinary eclipse, which reaches its peak in October.  This New Moon at 27 degrees of Leo is in opposition to Neptune.  The main idea is that Neptune houses are going to be spotlighted. (Pisces and 12^th house) The confusion we have been under for some time is now starting to clear.  Situations that were once up in the air are now closer to earth.  This New Moon also holds an opposition from Uranus to Mercury and Saturn.  Need I say more?  Some unexpected news is going to come.  This will challenge us to make an instant new plan.   Meanwhile, that Mercury Uranus opposition may be a bit unsettling and, if you add in the square of transiting Mars, we are looking at a Mutable T Square.   The absent leg of the T Square falls in Sagittarius.  For each of us the changes will be in the house that holds 25 degrees of Sagittarius.   The action will probably take place on or near August 27^th.   The Sun in Leo is in an out-of-sign trine to Pluto letting me know that certain areas will be in harmony with whatever we decide to do.   Another issue to contemplate is Mercury entering Libra on August 27^th.   On September 7^th 2009 it will start its retrograde journey back into Virgo to 21 degrees and then on September 29^th, 2009, it goes direct.  This can only mean a delay or a change of mind when September 29^th appears.  Saturn in Virgo and Mercury retrograding back to 21 degrees tells me that any issues that arrive on the 17^th of September will  have changes for you.

The opposition from Saturn to Uranus is about to get closer and closer. This will be the last of the Saturn Uranus oppositions but it does not fire until September 15^th.  If you know the details of your chart, the above info will be helpful.  If you don’t know the details the following forecasts will help if you know your rising sign.

Rules to remember…

 New Moons are challenges

 Full Moons are changes.

A T-Square is three houses in square to each other. (90 degrees apart)

A Grand Cross is when 4 houses square each other; each planet must be 90 degrees apart. It can also be Mutable, Cardinal or Fixed.  

Mutable (changeable), Cardinal (initiatory), or Fixed (in your face)

The action of a Mutable T square takes place in the empty house of the aspect.

ARIES-(March 21-April 19)

This New Moon takes place in your 5^th house of children, creativity and love affairs.   Fifth house areas can only mean concern for your children and challenging the love affair status in your life.  The missing leg of the Mutable T Square is falling in your 9^th house. I imagine that issues that deal with children can be combined with personal philosophy, travel, legal matters, foreign affairs and education.   All or one of these will be prominent in the coming 2 weeks.  This is all new territory for Saturn.  It brings in new beginnings and new movement.  We have waited a whole year for this.   Situations that you began last September are now finding some conclusion.  Transiting Uranus in trine to Venus in the 4^th house brings in exciting activity that you will definitely enjoy.  The out of sign trine of the NM to transiting Pluto make career matters move very smoothly.

Future note: The Saturn Uranus opposition, which takes place in September 15^th, or thereabouts, has everything to do with the 12^th house of hidden matters and the 6^th house of everyday work and health

TAURUS-(April 20-May 20)

This New Moon takes place in your 4^th house of home and core issues.  There are some issues that you have been struggling with that are finally starting to clear up.  These have the blush of career issues.   There is also a Mutable T Square that includes the 5^th house of children, creativity and love affairs; the 2^nd house of personal finances and love; and the 11^th house of hopes, wishes and goals.  The missing leg of this Mutable T Square is Sagittarius, your 8^th house of partnership finances and money from others.  The inference is that money from others is activated.  This is going to concern all 8^th house matters; sex, death and taxes, the occult, partnership finances and money from others.  The NM is in a out of sign trine to Pluto in your 9^th giving this situation a green light. Venus the harbinger of all things wonderful surpasses herself with a trine to Uranus in your house of goals.

Future note;   The Saturn Uranus opposition takes place on September 15^th, 2009 and involves your 5^th house of children, love affairs and creativity and your future goals.   This is the last in a series of three.    

GEMINI-(May 21-June 20)

The New Moon takes place in your 3^rd house of communication and community.  This NM is in opposition to Neptune.  Issues with your 12^th house of Taurus and behind the scenes activity will be highlighted as well as your 9th house of philosophy, legal matters and foreign affairs.  It seems that some things that have been unclear for awhile will now start to find some resonance.  The Mutable T Square that involves Mercury and Saturn in your 4^th house of home and core issues in opposition to Uranus in your 10^th house of career and square Mars in your 1^st seems to engage the four corners of your chart.  This change will be personal to you.  The empty leg of this Mutable T Square falls in your 7^th house of partnership.  Look for issues to revolve around partnerships, business or personal.  Venus in your second house forms a delightful trine to Uranus in your 10^th bringing social and financial gains to your career.  The NM also forms an out of sign trine to transiting Pluto in your 8^th house doubling your aspect for financial gain.

Future Note; Saturn is in your 4^th house and Uranus is in your 10^th house of career echo changes in these areas on or about September 15^th, or thereabouts.

 Rule. Mars transiting the 1^st house is movement forward or travel.

CANCER-(June 21-July 22)

This New Moon takes place in your 2^nd house of personal finances.  There may have been some financial issues that have been unclear for some time.  This NM has the ability to make things a bit clearer.  Neptune is the natural ruler of the 12^th house and of Pisces.  These houses will be important in clarifying some issues.  A Mutable T Square is also taking place involving the 12^th house of behind the scenes activity, the 9^th house of philosophy, legal matters and foreign affairs and the 3^rd house of communications.  The empty leg of the Mutable T square falls in Sagittarius, your 6^th house of everyday work and health.   This is where all the action takes place.   Look for situations to arise at your daily work or in health matters.  The 6^th house does have many more meanings to numerous to mention here but are available on Google. Venus in the 1^st house transiting Uranus in the 9^th house of philosophy legal matters foreign affairs and higher education.  This could be many things but the reality of the situation is that it will be very enjoyable.  The out of sign trine for the NM to transiting Pluto ensure a ease when it comes to matters of the heart.

PISCES-(February 20-March 20)

This New Moon takes place in your 6^th house of work and health and, if you have had any misconceptions about these things in the past, the opposition to Neptune sheds light on some of the confusion.  Another important aspect is the Mutable T Square that takes place with transiting Saturn conjunct Mercury in Virgo in your 7^th house of partnerships in opposition to Uranus in your 1^st house of personality.  Both

square Mars in Gemini in the 4^th house of home and core issues.  This specific aspect allows all the energy to funnel into the empty leg of the aspect.  This would be Sagittarius your 10^th, house of career.  Expect a lot of changes in career and issues that deal with how the general public sees you.  Your standing in the community is highlighted.  The NM also makes an out of sign trine to Pluto in the 11^th house supplying you with ease in achieving your goals.  Venus in the 5^th house denotes fun, especially, as it relates to your Uranus in the 1^st house of personality.  You have a divine glow about you.

We are on the verge of a powerful New Moon Eclipse at 29 degrees of Cancer.  This is the second New Moon in Cancer in a row.  Think for a minute where Cancer is in your chart.  Cancer is nurturing, emotional, loving, traditional and very Cardinal.  The last New Moon in Cancer was in opposition to Pluto.  That was very dramatic in everyone’s life.  This NME is also in Cancer but at the end of the sign and it does make another aspect to Pluto, an inconjunct.  This is a major adjustment.  Also, there is the planet Uranus in trine to this NME emphasizing unpredictability and sudden opportunities for freedom. The next aspect is Venus square to Saturn, bringing in financial skepticism and some form of emotional isolation. Uranus also squares Pluto promoting unexpected events.  Mars sextile to Mercury promotes communication to improve the situation.  As you can see by the planets and aspects involved, this will be a strong Eclipse. If you have any planets involved in this NME, as I am sure you do, look to your natal chart to see how these planets activate.  If you have a natal Pluto trine the Sun, this will be a wonderful Eclipse for you.  Check mainly the Sun and Moon and then go from there.   You will see the area of your life that receives the strongest hit.  The importance of this NME is that it takes us into Saturn in Libra, the next 2 ½ year cycle.  If you know about Saturn transits, then you realize this is a major change in energy. This is Cardinal energy; you taking the lead and changing your expression in some way.  I am working on an article for Saturn transits in Libra with Mars retrograde in Leo.  This should give a heads up on what’s coming. If you noticed, the last NM in Cancer gave the impetus to do more and express more.  Well, here comes the sequel to that movie.  Be prepared to institute new actions, plans and programs that are a more up to date expression of who you are.  The house that this NME falls in is where the challenge takes place.  This NME does not have to be negative; it is all in how you view life.  The only sure thing is that it will be strong and last a long time.  The general consensus is that as long as the NME is in minutes is as long as it lasts in years. This NME lasts approximately 6 1/2 minutes.  Some situations will be revealed that you will have to take action on.  Depending on the aspects this NME makes will indicate the action you will express.

 Please read your rising sign as it will be more accurate to you personally.  If you have intercepted signs you will need to make adjustments.

ARIES-(March 21-April 19)

This New Moon Eclipse takes place in your 4^th house of home and core issues.  The home is the outside manifestation of your inner core,  so expect new beginnings that will be challenging.  Not only will you be making changes on the outside but you will be making very strong changes on a deeper level. The inconjuct with Pluto and Pluto’s square to Uranus makes a powerful and unexpected adjustment in your career sector.  The Saturn square to Venus accents the feeling that this is a lonely position to be in.  With your Aries ascendant and rising sign, you are definitely on the train to somewhere.  This is Cardinal heaven. 

TAURUS-(April 20-May 20)

This New Moon Eclipse takes place in your 3^rd house of communications and community.  Uranus square Pluto and inconjunct the NME leads me to believe that the action you are about to start has a definite connection to your goals.  These are all mental signs and positions; therefore, much of this action takes place on a mental level.  The 9^th house contains transiting Pluto leading me to believe that this house is being transformed as we speak.  This is the house of higher education, philosophy, foreign affairs, law, writing and publishing.  Personal finances,, children and love affairs are strained as this NME contains a Venus square Saturn.   There is plenty to talk about and, maybe, even a vacation.     

GEMINI-(May 21-June 20)

This New Moon Eclipse takes place in your 2^nd house of personal finances and values.  The Uranus square in the 10^th house of career to Pluto in the 8^th of partnership resources and inconjunct to the NME seem to be screaming new financial beginnings that happen very unexpectedly.  This train seems to jump the tracks and all of a sudden you are going in a new direction.  You may feel  as if you are leaving a lot behind as Saturn is restricted in your 4^th house of home. This is a strong time for you and a new beginning. 

CANCER-(June 21-July 22)

This New Moon Eclipse takes place in your 1^st house of personality and how you appear to the world.  The Moon represents change wherever it lands.  Imagine a new look or  travel..  Mars in the 12^th sextiles  Mercury in the 2^nd and opens communications for you.  Uranus in the 9^th house of philosophy, foreign affairs, higher education and law is in square to Pluto in the 7^th stressing legal matters with a partnership. The NME aspect of an inconjunct to Pluto reveals an adjustment has to be made. Venus in the 12^th house square Saturn in the 3^rd makes this NME feel insecure during this event.   There is a lovely Uranus trine to the NME acknowledging  that there is more freedom in store for you.

LEO-(July 23-August 22)

This New Moon Eclipse takes place in your 12^th house of behind the scenes activity, the subconscious and hidden matters.   If you have any secrets you are trying to keep under wraps, forget it.  This NME is like a spotlight on the 12^th house.  Everything will be on the table.  Uranus in the 8^th house of partnership finances, sex, death, and taxes squares Pluto in the 6^th, causing mega stress with partnership finances and your current work and/or health situation.   This 12^th house NME is in an inconjunct aspect to Pluto persuading you to make the adjustments needed.  Finances are sketchy but help is on the way.  You may have questions about partnership that can’t be answered at this time.

VIRGO-(August 23-September 22)

This New Moon Eclipse takes place in your 11^th house of goals, hopes and wishes.  You currently have transiting Saturn in your 1^st house begging you to rethink everything you are going to do.  This NME sheds a lot of light on your future goals.  The NME forms an inconjunct to the transiting planet Pluto  in the 5^th house of children, creativity and love affairs, asking you to accept the adjustment that will be taking place in that area.  There is an indication that this adjustment will benefit you in the long run.  Mars in your 10^th house of career is causing communication stress due to some not so public conversations. This next six months will be all about what you want and how to get it.

 LIBRA-(September 23-October 22)

The New Moon Eclipse takes place in your 10^th house of career and makes an inconjuct aspect to Pluto to the 4^th house of home and core issues.  On one level the career sector is being activated but it requires an adjustment from you on some core level.  Uranus in the 6^th house is in trine to this NME showering you with opportunity from this adjustment.  Saturn in the 12^th is in square to Venus in the 9^th house.  This may make you feel a little restricted.  Communications will be an active part of this association.  Uranus does make a square aspect to Pluto in the 4^th from the 6^th indicating that some actions need transformation.  This may cost money but then what doesn’t ?

. SCORPIO-(October 24-November 22)

This New Moon Eclipse takes place in your 9^th house of philosophy, law, higher education and foreign affairs.  This is the area that will take up your time in the coming months.  There is a major aspect that involves Uranus in trine to the NME and also squaring transiting Pluto in the 3^rd house of communications and community.  The NME makes a major inconjunct aspect to transiting Pluto in the 3^rd house.  You can plan on a major adjustment that is going to offer you more freedom in the long run.  The changes that you make are necessary and you have to work with them.  This is a challenge and you will have to perform. 

SAGITTARIUS-(November 22-December 21)

This New Moon Eclipse takes place in the 8^th house of partnership resources.  The aspects that it makes require an adjustment from you that has to do with other people’s money or partnership monies.  Uranus in the 4^th house of home and core issues squares Pluto in the 2^nd house of personal finances forcing you to make some changes. This Uranus trines the NME releasing you from some restrictions and allowing you some unexpected and exciting news about your own direction.  A lot of communications are taking place in your 7^th house of partnership with regards to work and the new adjustments that have to take place.  This can be very interesting.

CAPRICORN-(December 22-January 19)

This New Moon Eclipse takes place in your 7^th house of partnership and makes an inconjunct aspect to transiting Pluto in your 1^st house. There are adjustments that have to be made and  worrying about them won’t make them happen any sooner or be more comfortable.  There is a trine from Uranus in the 4^th to the NME in the 7^th that confirms that these adjustments are necessary and will benefit you in the long run. This NME enhances your charisma in many ways.  There are a lot of communications that have to do with partnership funds and money from others.  You may find that there are new restrictions for you to deal with when it comes to work. AQUARIUS-(January 20-February 19)

This New Moon Eclipse takes place in your 6^th house of work and/or health matters.  The aspects that are important are the inconjunct to transiting Pluto in the 12^th house of hidden matters or institutions asking for an adjustment in dealing with issues from behind the scenes.  Another strong aspect is Uranus in the 2^nd house of personal finances to transiting Pluto in the 12^th house of hidden matters.  There is no escape from this but along with it is a Uranus trine to the NME telling me that there is financial opportunity waiting in the wings. There are restrictions, but it’s not impossible.  You still don’t have all the answers, but they are getting closer.  This next six months will tell the tale.

PISCES-(February 20-March 20)

This New Moon Eclipse takes place in your 5^th house of children, creativity and love affairs.  There is more to this 5^th house but I leave it to you to find out.  This NME forms an inconjunct aspect to transiting Pluto in your 11^th house of goals, hopes and wishes, asking you to make an adjustment in your goals.  At first this may seem difficult, but in reality, there is a trine from transiting Uranus that leads directly to the NME in the 5^th of children.  Uranus in your 1^st house is making a strong aspect to transiting Pluto forcing you to eliminate a certain goal.  Communication is rampant and discussions are opportunistic.   Venus is squaring Saturn making you feel isolated.  The solutions are there and they will be apparent. 

We are all looking forward to the results of Saturn direct.   What have you learned in the last 5 months?  It has been tumultuous for some of us.  This last Full Moon has left you with a direction.  Maybe not the one you wanted but definitely a way for you to proceed.  You can think of it this way.  Last September you were on your way somewhere with a direction in mind.  Now you are at the same position but you are free of the obstructions that were not working for you.  This may or may not be what you wanted but it is reality.   The genius of the Saturn direct is that in the next 4 months you will make definite headway in your life. Let me digress for a moment. The next cycle contains a change in signs for Saturn and with that a specific course of aspects come into play.  The last 6 months of the Saturn in Virgo cycle is the most important to us.  This is a culmination of the last 2 years.  What you were seeking then is on the current horizon now.  As Saturn moves into Libra, we will have a distinct change in energy.  We will go from dealing with changes to initiating the changes we desire.  Libra is a Cardinal Air Sign and whatever house it is in is where you will spend the next 2 ½ years redefining.  So much for dealing with Saturn.

This New Moon takes place in the sign of Gemini at 3 degrees.  The chart for this New Moon holds a couple of interesting aspects.  This New Moon is in a 150 degree aspect to Pluto.  This is called an inconjunct.    Inconjuncts between any two planets cause some adjustment in the houses they occupy.  In this instance it is part of a New Moon promising to linger until after the Full Moon next month.  Mercury is in square to Chiron, Jupiter and Neptune of which all three are conjunct.  This is a perfect example of chaos. This is definitely very meaningful for you if you have planets or points at 26 degrees of Aquarius, Leo, Scorpio or Taurus.  Gemini is the planet of duality.  It is very changeable and with an inconjunct to Pluto, there is a certain major adjustment that is taking place in your life.  We are all making this adjustment, just in different areas of our lives.   

As we move into the summer, Mercury is retrograde in Taurus and you will find yourself back in that practical frame of mind.  You will be tying up loose ends and making your life a bit more comfortable.  Mercury in Taurus is in trine to Saturn in Virgo so it has to be something you’ve wanted to do.  Mercury goes direct on May 31, clearing the path for Mercury in Gemini.  Where is Taurus in your chart?  That’s where Mercury is establishing some continuity.

Jupiter, Neptune and Chiron are conjunct in Aquarius.  These three planets together form an uncomfortable trio.  Jupiter, the planet of expansion; Chiron, the asteroid of the wounded healer; and Neptune the planet of illusion and delusion all joined together to square Mercury.   There are a lot of unknowns bouncing around and your desire to be perfect feels conflicted.  I think you will find that this is all part of working thru a certain situation.  Ease up….watch it work out, don’t help it work out.

The Sun Moon conjunction is at 3 degrees of Gemini establishing a new water mark on your chart. 

Uranus is at 26 degrees of Pisces and 30 degrees away from our trio of bouncing unknowns.  This is called a combust aspect and acts as a conjunction.  So now we have the trio of bouncing unknowns conjunct an unexpected event.  This I have to see!  

I think I’m having some fun with words.  I have dissected the New Moon and its aspects on a general forum so I will now do your individual rising signs. 

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 New Moon takes place in your 3^rd house of communication and community.  You may notice that there is a major adjustment taking place very close to home base, as the NM inconjuncts transiting Pluto in your 10^th house of career. These changes prove to be very important to you as they are personal challenges to your career and standing in the community.  There is a trio of transiting planets that are perfecting the meaning of chaos.  Jupiter, Chiron and Neptune are conjunct and in square to Mercury.  Luckily, Mercury is back in Taurus trining Saturn so untangling this web of inconsistencies is going to be your main focus.  This is not something that you can dismiss in a day or a week.  It will stick around till the end of the month or longer.  Mercury retrograde in Taurus is communicating some concerns about money or values and trying to dispel any negative unknowns.  Saturn in your 6^th house continues on its direct journey to redefine your 6^th house of work and health. 

TAURUS-(April 20-May 20)

This New Moon takes place in your 2^nd house of personal finances and values and makes an inconjunct to your 9^th house of philosophy, legal matters, foreign affairs and education.  This constitutes a major adjustment in your values and in the things that you hold dear.  This is an important time for you to realize what is important to you and how you have to adjust your current philosophy to accommodate your new ideas.  Saturn, is direct in Virgo, making this a very comfortable adjustment.  Mercury is retrograde in your 2^nd house of finances and values and probably causing you undue amounts of anxiety because of bouncing trio of unknowns.  It all works out well for you, my Earth Angel.

 GEMINI-(May 21-June 20)

This New Moon takes place in your 1^st house of personality and how people see you.  You have Pluto transiting your 8^th house of partnership finances, sex, death and taxes and in an inconjunct aspect to this New Moon.  There are issues here that are signifying a change deep within you, engaging your beliefs with partnership finances, mortality and money from others.  Quite a range, but if you look closely they all boil down to the same thing, an adjustment in the money that you receive from others. What you give for what you get.  Mercury is still retrograde and will delay things for a bit.  Saturn is direct and solidifying core issues in your belief system.  Your major question is always, “Is this what I really want?”

CANCER-(June 21-July 22)

This New Moon takes place in your 12^th house of past, behind-the- scenes activity and institutions.   It is in aspect to Pluto in your 7^th house of partnership, promising a major adjustment is in the making when it comes to partnerships, either business or personal. This can be a very sensitive time for you and your sensitivity is showing. Saturn is direct and continuing its journey thru your 3^rd house of communications and community redefining relations with your neighbors and close relatives.  Mercury is retrograde in Taurus your 11^th house of goals trying to clear up any misgivings or bothersome unknowns in this area of your life.

 LEO-(July 23-August 22)

This New Moon takes place in your 11^th house of goals, hopes and wishes.   The inconjunct aspect between the New Moon and Pluto signals some important adjustments that have to be made within your work environment or with health issues.  You are in a process that requires your clear attention and ability to distinguish the real issues from the pie-in- the sky dreams.   Saturn in your 2^nd house of personal money and values has been under redefinition for awhile and the lessons you have learned have not been easy.  Take heart, you are a better person for what you have learned.  Mercury retrograde in your 10^th house brings back practicality to your career life and goals.  Partnership issues seem to only provide you with more questions.

VIRGO-(August 23-September 22)

This New Moon takes place in your 10^th house of career and standing in the community.  The inconjuct aspect between the New Moon and Pluto in your 5^th house of children, creativity and love affairs can prove to be problematic.  There is an adjustment about to take place and the indication is that it will work better for you.

Saturn in your 1^st house going direct in your 1^st house of personality has not been the most comfortable ride in the amusement park.  If anything, it has had its moments of total fear.  It’s not so easy to create the new you.  Communications don’t offer a lot of consolation at this point but they do help you to work things thru.  You are in a process. 

LIBRA-(September 23-October 22)

This New Moon takes place in your 9^th house of philosophy, legal matters, foreign affairs and education and forms an inconjunct aspect to Pluto transiting your 4^th house of home and core issues.   You have been called upon to change some of your core beliefs; this adjustment is necessary and will open you more to life than you know. You are in a process of recognizing your value and worth as an individual.  Core issues are changing as is your philosophy dealing with self worth.  There are many things you may be talking about but nothing seems to have the answers you can count on.  You are on the right track.  Mercury retrograde will impart practical and useful ideas into the mix but it definitely delays the outcome.

SCORPIO-(October 24-November 22)

This New Moon takes place in your 8^th house of partnership funds, sex, death and taxes bringing new dimensions to your Scorpio intensity.  The inconjunct between the New Moon in your 8^th house and transiting Pluto informs you of a pending adjustment that has to be made in your 3^rd house of communications and community.  This can be a negotiation or some type of movement.  The  object of this aspect involves your  home issues or work issues. This is about money, just not your money.  There seem to be a lot of unknowns and creative ideas circling around but none you feel comfortable with yet.  This is a time of discovery and there is no way to rush it.   Ride the wave and see where it takes you.  Uranus in your 5^th house of creativity is combust or 30 degrees from our trio of Neptune, Jupiter and Chiron in the 4^th house of home and core issues bringing in expectation, excitement and the unexpected to your home.  You will love it.

SAGITTARIUS-(November 22-December 21)

This New Moon takes place in your 7^th house of partnerships, either business or personal.  The major aspect that this New Moon involves is an inconjunct to transiting Pluto in your 2^nd house of personal money and values.  Inconjuncts, invariably always initiate some form of adjustment.  If we look at the houses involved, we see that the adjustment deals with partnerships or dealing with the public and personal values.   Like all adjustments they are not accomplished in a day so this may take a bit of time.  There are still a lot of unknowns to deal with and try to put into some kind of order.  It’s like trying to unknot all the wires hidden behind your desk.  There is a lot of fun attached to the coming month.  Take your time and enjoy.

CAPRICORN-(December 22-January 19)

This New Moon takes place in your 6^th house of everyday work and health.  You may be reluctant to make any permanent decisions until all the facts are in but this is definitely a time for major adjustments in your everyday work and health and your presentation to the world.  This is a time for practical thinking, of which Mercury retrograde in Taurus will be of a great advantage.  If you are not a patient person, here is your time to present that part of you.  Finances are a major concern as concrete facts are not available at this time.   Communications play a major role in trying to communicate your dilemma. Unexpected communications and concerns seem to control the oxygen content available to you at any given time.  This is a process and you need to trust the path.

AQUARIUS-(January 20-February 19)

This New Moon takes place in your 5^th house of children, creativity and love affairs.  This N M makes an inconjuct aspect to transiting Pluto in your 12^th house of the past and behind-the-scenes activity.  There is a major adjustment taking place between these two alignments.  Many 12^th house issues are hard to interpret because they take up residence in the recesses of your life.  The adjustment may have to do with children, or any creative element in your life.  What we know for sure is that your thinking will be involved and that the adjustment takes place in the background of your life.  There are other things that are of great concern and that is the trio of planets that inhabit your first house of personality, Jupiter, Chiron and Neptune a threesome of chaotic intent.  These three planets will lead you down a primrose path or deliver you into the depths of confusion.  Communication does help and will make things clearer in time. 

PISCES-(February 20-March 20)

This New Moon takes place in your 4^th house of home and signals that an adjustment must be made to your current goals.  Home and core issues are the focal point of this inconjunct aspect between the New Moon and your current goals.  You will be asked to make an adjustment and you will see the writing on the wall.   The prospect of a life changing event is possible but not in the way that you expect.  There is a trio of planets in your 12^th house that takes you on a fantasy voyage and then let you languish in the reality of the present.  For some of us this can be interesting, and for others a constant skinny dip into the lake of the unknown.   Try to stay centered;  go for concrete ideas and avoid the trip to la la land.

This New Moon is in Pisces at 6 degrees.  For some of us, it will be Feb. 25^th, 2009 because of the time changes.  For my area it will be Feb. 24^th, 2009.  This also happens to be my baby sister Roseanne’s birthday.   Happy Birthday New Moon Baby Sister.  The world should be at your feet this year. (Pisces, feet, get it!) Another Birthday Girl in Las Vegas is glamorous Linda Crane.  Happy Birthday to you! I like wishing people Happy Birthday so I will continue to do so.   If you have someone you would like me to mention, please drop me an email. 

  Back to the New Moon in Pisces.  What house does it take place in for you?   Take note of this house because this is the area where the challenge appears.  If you have any planets in water at this degree, you will be floating in a sea of clouds.  If you have any planets at this degree in Virgo, Gemini, Sagittarius or Pisces, pay attention to what is going on around you.  This will be a time of change.

I want to introduce you to one of my students, Vickie Kayser, who lives in Hartford Ct..  I love the way she writes and visualizes astrological aspects.  She is going to write an article this week on the constellation of Pisces.  Please read her article next Monday.  Thank you. 

Certain areas of our lives have slowed down a bit in order to give us time to breathe and catch up with life and current events.  After March 1^st, 2009 Mercury will be at the point that it went retrograde and we will be all caught up.  Mercury is the planet of communication; therefore, it’s no wonder that communications have been slow in coming.   For those of us that are anxiety ridden, please take a deep breath.   These last two Eclipses are in effect for 6 months.  The soonest possible date for things to turn a corner is April 29^th, 2009 or May 9^th, 2009.   Everyday you will be one step closer to your objectives.

Venus is going retrograde on March 6^th, 2009 and journeys back to Pisces where Venus is at its best when it comes to romance.  Venus rules Libra and Taurus.  Now take at look at where these houses land in your chart and you will see where to expect some delays or changes.  If you look ahead to April, you will see that Venus will conjunct Mars on April 22^nd, 2009 which is the ultimate goal of this Venus transit.  It’s connection with its cohort Mars creates a bonfire of a new beginning. 

Saturn is still retrograde and goes over the degrees of 18, 17, and 16 (in that order) this month.  This will take you back to the month of October 2008 and you will be asked to make decisions on events that are about to repeat themselves.  This is only possible if you have personal natal planets at these degrees in Virgo, Gemini, Sagittarius or Pisces.  If this is the case, you will be letting go of your comfort zone to achieve new goals with new challenges. 

Uranus moves from 21degrees of Pisces forward to 23 degrees.  The Saturn Uranus opposition has now rescinded into the past but promises more to come later on in the year.  Uranus offers you a wonderful trine to any planets you have in water signs (Cancer Scorpio Pisces) at these degrees.  If you are looking for challenges, look at Virgo, Gemini, Sagittarius and Pisces at these degrees.

Neptune travels from 24 degrees of Aquarius to 25 degrees.  If you have any planets in Leo, Taurus, Scorpio and Aquarius at these degrees, you may find that events are not so crystal clear. 

Pluto, the planet of transformation, continues its transit thru Capricorn and connects for the first time with 3 degrees of Capricorn.   It goes retrograde on April 3^rd, and does not return to this position until the end of the year.   Pluto retrogrades to 0 degrees on September 11^th, 2009 and then turns stationary direct.  If you have any planets in this position in any Cardinal sign (Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn), you are about to enter a time of transformation.  This can be intense but it will be well worth it. 

Now that I have given you the update, I hope you will get a little more information from the following monthly forecast.

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

ARIES-(March 21-April 19)

This New Moon takes place in your 12^th house of the past, preparation and institutions, the subconscious and connection to the universe.   This placement is a concerted effort to get all your ducks in a row.  There is time to prepare for events that will be taking place in the near future.  This is also a time for meditation and connecting with the part of you that directs your future and personal goals.  Because of the Neptune haze that surrounds everything,  you will have to be extra diligent. 

TAURUS-(April 20-May 20)

This New Moon takes place in your 11^th house of goals, hopes and wishes.  ” The times they are a’changing. ” This placement reinforces the goals you have set forth to accomplish or helps you dismiss them if they are too lofty.  Your friends and fellow confidants will help you distinguish the real from the utterly fantastical that you may be hanging on to.  

GEMINI-(May 21-June 20)

This New Moon takes place in your 10^th house of career and standing in the community.  Your direction seems to be career oriented and I am hopeful that you will be pushing the envelope this month.  There will be challenges to what you do and how you do it.  It is all about how far you can stretch. 

CANCER-(June 21-July 22)

This New Moon takes place in your 9^th house of higher education, foreign affairs legal matters and philosophy.  The inference here is that there are new ideas starting to percolate all around you.  Your rising sign is in trine, thus, your thoughts are insightful and visionary. 

LEO-(July 23-August 22)

This New Moon in Pisces at 6 degrees takes place in your 8^th house of partnership finances, other people’s money,  sex, death and taxes.  (We are all getting ready for taxes. )   This New Moon is not as clear as you would want but it is clear enough for you to make some decisions.  It’s about what you want and what you will give to get it.  

VIRGO-(August 23-September 22)

This New Moon in Pisces takes place in your 7^th house of partnerships.  You are the constant romantic and this New Moon only increases your desire for romance.  I really think all you need is a long vacation.  Far be it from me to tell you to stop worrying. 

LIBRA-(September 23-October 22)

This New Moon in Pisces takes place in your 6^th house of everyday work and health.  The idea that you may not be doing what you should be doing in this life has constantly been going thru the back of your mind.  You may be right but the time is not now. 

SCORPIO-(October 24-November 22)

s New Moon in Pisces takes place in your 5^th house of children, creativity and love affairs.  The activity can happen in any and all of the above areas but I bet you are hoping for love affairs.  This New Moon has a romantic quality about it and offers you great ease in this month’s adventures.

 SAGITTARIUS-(November 22-December 21)

This New Moon in Pisces takes place in your 4^th house of home and core issues.  Take some time to organize how you want to do things and what is the most important goal you need to reach.  Compassion and feeling are the common denominators in this equation. 

CAPRICORN-(December 22-January 19)

This New Moon takes place in Pisces, your 3^rd house of communications and community.  Mercury retrograde will now be picking up speed and communications will be forthcoming.   The opportunities that come from this New Moon are a little bit gilded.  Look carefully. 

   AQUARIUS-(January 20-February 19)

This New Moon takes place in your 2^nd house of finances and love or what I call values.   You may have some choices to make.  Keep in mind that nothing is over until the fat lady sings.  Jupiter in Aquarius promises many opportunities. 

 PISCES-(February 20-March 20)

This New Moon in Pisces takes place in your 1^st house of personality and how people see you.  You may find there are changes in and around you this month.   This could be a month of celebrations and new beginnings.
