Astrology by Mary MacLean

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Mercury goes retrograde on Aug. 20^th 2010.

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

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

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

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

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

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

I expect that by now you have experienced a Pluto Eclipse.  You could well still be in it.  It has a way of taking over everything that is going on in your life.  I am still involved with the FME but not to the degree I imagined. I must say Pluto always makes things intense.  We have had NM and FM conjunct Pluto and it has been this intense and that is mainly because of the Eclipse and Pluto.  This is a very potent combination.  It will always mean intense change but not as intense as these last two weeks.  I have seen a lot of changes happening with friends and clients, more so now than in the last 6 months.  I am very glad that I have it behind me and am looking forward to this New Moon Eclipse that will take me six months into the future. 

This New Moon Eclipse takes place in Cancer at 19 degrees.  This is cardinal and assertive.  It is also a nurturing sign and has a lot to do with taking care of people.  I do have an announcement to make and it is very exciting for all of us here in Denver.  My daughter, Julianna and her boyfriend Marcel are expecting a baby.  We are totally delighted to have this to look forward to in the fall.  I am not surprised that this Eclipse landed in Cancer the sign of the Moon and mothering.  I have given her the dates that I thought she would deliver, so we are all looking forward to November 7, 2010 to add a new member to our family.  By the way, it’s a BOY……Back to the NME. 

This NME in Cancer at 19 degrees falls in my 10^th house of Career conjunct my Jupiter.  Where does 19 degrees of Cancer take place in your chart?  Does it conjunct any natal planets?  If so, which one?   These questions will give you the information that will cover the next 6 months of activity.   This NME will arise from the actions taken with the FME just two weeks previous.  The NME always brings in a challenge and that is the key to the coming 6 months.  Another avenue to find your current challenges it to look at the transit of Saturn in your Natal Chart.   This cycle will have you looking also at Pluto and Uranus since they are in critical aspect through out the NME.  These all happen to be in Cardinal Signs and you will find yourself driven to accomplish things.  Since this is a Cardinal T Square involving Aries, Capricorn and Libra the empty house is Cancer where all the activity is directed…And guess where the NME is?  In Cancer, of course.  All paths lead to the Cancer house.  Maybe this will give you the direction you will be going in.  

This next six months will be involved with Cancer objectives, home, career, nurturing and being very assertive about it all.  Part of this Cardinal T Square is the Saturn Uranus opposition that should be the target to look for near the end of July.  This opposition will be the third in a series of three.  This will release us from someone or something that begs to be updated in our lives. 

Mercury will be transiting Cancer, Leo and begin the transit of Virgo by the end of the month.  Mercury will go retrograde next month on August 29, 2010 at 19 degrees of Virgo.  But that’s next month.  No Mercury retrogrades this month. 

Jupiter will reach 3 degrees of Aries before it retrogrades on July 23, 2010.  It will retrograde back to 23 degrees of Pisces and go direct on November 18, 2010 and complete its Jupiter in Pisces cycle on Jan. 22, 2011.  This does seem to indicate that whatever we are planning on in terms of expansion doesn’t really come to fruition until the end of January 2011.

Uranus in Aries at 0 degrees will go retrograde on July 5, 2010, postponing assertive acts until February, of 2011.

It is best not to follow this instinct to break away, but to reassess your life carefully.

Full Moon Exact on July 26 2010 

We are definitely in an ending cycle.  This New Moon is the prelude to the Partial Full Moon Eclipse on June 26^th 2010.  This Full Moon Eclipse concludes the Full Moon Eclipse that took place December 30^th, 2009.

More later on this subject and now back to the New Moon.

This New Moon has a transiting Uranus Jupiter conjunction in square to transiting Pluto.

To those of us that can imagine the energy of this aspect, take it up a notch or two because of the Pluto.  Jupiter will exactly square Pluto during the month of July and then retrograde.  This is expansion.  Check the houses that occupy the planets and you will find the area of expansion.  Uranus and Jupiter are pretty exciting for some and scary for others.  The level of fear that you hold is what will determine if it is exciting or scary.  You will have met this energy early in the month.  I would say around the 6^th of June.  There is a second part to this conjunction.  This conjunction is square to Pluto adding a good amount of passion or deliberateness.

This NM also squares transiting Saturn, introducing a good amount of responsibility and structure to the coming two weeks.  Mars will have just past an opposition to Chiron by a day or so, spurring communication in relation to personal thoughts and desires.  Transiting Mars is currently trining Pluto shifting your thinking to details around current changes.  This NM in Gemini always has a duality attached to it.  Find the duality in your life and you will find the NM. You may find yourself doing two things at once or deciding on what to do between two situations.  These will be the challenges you will face with the coming New Moon. 

Since I am only able to tell you the transiting aspects, in order for you to get a complete picture you will have to add this information to your natal chart.  Look for where the NM takes place, what house is it?  This is the area that will be affected with the NM. 

This is what my New Moon and Full Moon subscription will do.  It is personal to your chart.  I have had a lot of interest in my subscriptions.  Most people seem to really enjoy them.  I would try a one month subscription and see if it meets your expectations before subscribing for 6 months.  I feel these are intimate glimpses into your current life path.

Thank you so much for your gracious and positive responses to my subscription service.

The Full Moon partial Eclipse on June 26, 2010 will complete the cycle that started on December 30^th, 2009.  This Full Moon brings in a change that you have been dealing with for the last 6 months.  Following that Full Moon Eclipse will be a New Moon Eclipse two weeks later that will begin another new cycle.  So, not only are you looking at the end of one cycle you are looking at the beginning of a new cycle.  If you take a minute to think back 2 ½ years ago you are at the end of this Virgo Saturn cycle also.  Everything is pointing to new energy and new beginnings.  The new Libra Saturn cycle is the light at the end of the tunnel.  We are almost there…Saturn is in exaltation in Libra.  It works very well there.  Libra is a Cardinal Air planet.  This is the relationship cycle, dealing with partnership and dealing with the general public. Find the house that Libra rules and you will be looking at the future.

I would be interested to know how all of you did during this last Full Moon.  This is an exciting and also exasperating time for me as I have had to deal with a broken sewer pipe, asbestos found in the basement and my daughter moving back home.  All of this is happening at the same time.   I have found that Pluto opposite the natal moon can totally absorb your time attention and leave you with the particular feeling of having no control.  If you subscribe to my New Moon and Full Moon, you will notice that they were earlier than the normal 5 days.  Mainly because my time is taken up with waiting for workmen, waiting for phone calls from workmen and insurance people. I have no idea when I can find time to work with all of this going on in my home.  So bare with me folks as my personal forecasts may be a bit earlier as I surrender to the forces in charge.

This New Moon takes place at 23 degrees of Taurus and is in trine to transiting Saturn.  This forms an earth trine that gives us the feeling of stability, and perceived control. Saturn and Uranus are still in opposition keeping a sharp edge on certain situations.    Saturn aspects are sure to be delayed for at least 2 weeks before they materialize.

 This month Mercury goes direct on the 11^th, Saturn goes direct on the 30^th, and Mars goes beyond the point where it went retrograde at 19 degrees on the 16^th   of May.  It feels like we are all riding into the home stretch of a two year race.  All of these direct motions coming this month can only emphasize we are getting closer to a finalization of Saturn in Virgo.  This has been a major cycle and connects with our challenges for the last 2 years. This is the cycle you most relate to and at this time you are in the last couple of months of Saturn in Virgo.  Think back about 2 ½ years and what was your challenge at that time.  This last 6 months should have brought your past goals of 2 ½ years ago to fruition. Check out the house that holds Libra as this is the next area of redefinition on your astrological map.

There are other cycles to look at and Pluto is the next one you will be subject too.  Pluto is retrograde and going over the 5^th, 4^th, 3^rd and 2^nd degree of early Capricorn.  If you have any planets at these positions, you will feel it when Pluto is conjunct the exact degree.  I have the moon at 4 degrees Cancer. 

The Uranus cycle is also hot right now and continues to be for a while.  This month on the 28^th Uranus will enter Aries…This does remind me of a firecracker with added energy.  This is a big change for Uranus from a mutable water sign like Pisces to the assertive cardinal sign of the uncontainable energy of Aries.  Get the picture.

Following close behind is the planet Jupiter, the planet of expansion and again changing signs for the Mutable water to assertive sign of Aries.  The best part is that they meet on June 6^th, 2010.  I guess the question is what to expect?  Keep your sun glasses handy.

There are new challenges seeping in as we conclude this last Saturn in Virgo cycle.  They will show up full force on the New Moon Eclipse of July 11^th, 2010.

I am still offering my New Moon and Full Moon Natal chart forecasts on a subscription basis.  I do hope you are enjoying them and that they are informative and helpful.  I am leaving the comment section open in case you would like to comment on them.

This New Moon takes place in the sign of Aries.  Let’s see?  Aries, a cardinal planet (action oriented) New Moon is a beginning, Saturn back at 29 degrees of Virgo?  This all seems so familiar…It is familiar.  Think back to January 15, 2010 and the New Moon Eclipse that arrived in your life. It took place in Capricorn at 25 degrees. This was also a cardinal planet.  Now we are at the square to that Eclipse point by New Moon.  Every cardinal square brings in action.  Where it lands is where the action takes place.   And it is Aries action.  Starts, movement and Aries love challenges. 

Mercury will be going retrograde on the 18^th of April at 12 degrees of Taurus.  Anything that came about on or after April 2^nd will be the communication foul-up. This will be a delay until May 10^th 2010.  On this New Moon transiting Mercury and Venus in Taurus will trine the North Node bringing fourth some great opportunities.

Mars is going direct and at this New Moon it will be at 6 degrees of Leo.  If you have any Leo planets this last six months have been monumental.  Even if you don’t have Leo planets it’s been monumental.

Jupiter is still in Pisces and travels from the 17 degree thru the 23 degree by the end of the month.

Saturn and Uranus are getting ready to solidify an opposition and make some important changes. They are usually unexpected situations. The date seems to fall around the 26^th and the 27^th of April, of course the Full Moon can possibly be the vehicle that sets it off on April 28^th.  The Full Moon will be at 8 degrees of Scorpio.

 The last time we had this opposition was September 16, 2009.  Saturn and Uranus are relativity in the same position as before with 4 degrees to spare.  Any natal planets that you have at this position will be affected.  This is where we have to let go of something.  Don’t worry, if it is something you need it would not leave.  This is something that needs to go.  It will be replaced with something better.  Not immediately but soon. 

I would like to thank all of you that sent condolences for my friend Anna May Cottrell.  I thank you from my heart.

I am on Facebook, join me.

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

 CANCER-(June 21-July 22)

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.

 GEMINI-(May 21-June 20)

This New Moon takes place in your 7^th house of partnerships, either business or personal.  Uranus transiting the 10^th house of career and standing in the community is in square to this New Moon.  This can be exciting if natally you have a good aspect between Uranus and the Sun in your natal chart.  It can also throw you for a loop if you don’t have it.  Mars is trinning the NM which ensures opportunity for holiday communication and festivities.   On December 20^th, 2009 Mars will go retrograde until March 10^th, 2010.  Mars is currently in your 3^rd house of communications and community.  Look for things in this area to continue but not as expected.  New situations that arise after the retrograde may change your prospective on this area of your life.

 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. 

VIRGO-(August 23-September 22)

This NM takes place in your 4^th house of home and core issues and can be  quite festive.  Uranus in the 7^th house in square to this NM asks us to expect the unexpected when it comes to partnerships and the general public.  You are probably planning a holiday party or going to a holiday party but some unexpected and/or exciting event can come about involving partnerships. 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. Drugs and alcohol can literately create the impossible dream.  Mars goes retrograde on December 20^th, 2009 in your 11^th house to distract you from your original plans for your goals.  You will be changing or redefining them in the next 3 months.  You have been under some stress lately with Saturn in your 1^st house squaring Pluto in your 4^th house of home and core issues.

 SCORPIO-(October 24-November 22)

This New Moon takes place in your 2^nd house of personal finances, love and values. You may find yourself going over-budget and spending more that you wanted.  Uranus in your 5^th house of children, creativity and love affairs will bring conflict between your finances and desires..  What you desire will win.  Jupiter will conjunct Neptune on December 20^th to the 24^th in your 4^th house of home suggesting  that you will be going over the top with some issues.  Mars goes go retrograde this month on December 20, 2009 and career issues seem to bog down.  Sometimes God plays 52 pickup with our lives.   Is there a possible delay?  It really depends on your natal chart.  Not to worry. 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)

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.
