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.

Future note; the coming Saturn Uranus opposition will arrive on September 15^th, 2009 or thereabouts.  This is possibly a date that you should not travel on.

LEO-(July 23-August 22)

This New Moon takes place in your 1^st house of personality and appearance.  This NM is in direct opposition to Neptune in the 7^th house of partnership.  This indicates that issues that deal with partnerships are becoming clearer and less confusing.   Another important aspect is the Mutable T-Square  that involves Uranus in the 8^th house of partnership funds, in square to Mars in the 11^th house of goals and Saturn Mercury conjunct in the 2^nd house of money and values.  This is a Mutable T square and the empty house is where all the energy will show up.  The empty house will be the 5^th house of children, creativity and love affairs.  Stay focused.  This NM is also in a out of sign trine to Pluto easing the work and health issues.  Venus and Uranus are in complimentary aspect making for an unexpected romantic rendezvous.  

Future note; a Saturn Uranus opposition will occur on September 15, 2009 that will involve your personal money and money that you get from others.  This continues to redefine your personal money.  

VIRGO-(August 23-September 22)

This New Moon takes place in your 12^th house of behind the scenes activity.  It makes an opposition aspect to transiting Neptune in the 6^th house of work and health.  You may find that issues related to these houses become clearer as time goes on.  The other major aspect in this NM is Mars in Gemini in the 10^th house of career in square to Uranus in Pisces in the 7^th house of partnership and Mercury Saturn in the 1^st house of personality.  This is a Mutable T Square and all the energy will flow to the empty leg of the T Square, which is Sagittarius your 4^th house of home.  So, expect the unexpected in home matters and core issues.   The NM makes an out of sign trine to Pluto in Capricorn from the 1^st to the 5^th house of children, creativity and love affairs making situations in these areas flow easily.  Venus trines Uranus from the 11^th house of friends and goals to the 7^th house of partnerships promising exciting opportunities for partnerships.

Future note;  Saturn and Uranus will complete their final opposition on September 15^th 2009 and involve you personally and partnerships.

 LIBRA-(September 23-October 22)

This New Moon takes place in your 11^th house of friends, hopes, wishes and goals.  You may have had issues about children, creativity and love affairs that have been confusing for you.  This NM will oppose Neptune and clear up some of the unknowns for you.   Another important aspect to consider with this NM is the Mutable T Square that involves  Saturn and Mercury conjunct in the 12^th house of behind the scenes activity  in square to Mars in Gemini in the 9^th house of philosophy, legal matters and travel and in opposition to Uranus in the 6^th house of work and health.  Since this is a Mutable T Square, all of the energy of this combination of aspects will flow thru your Sagittarius 3^rd house of communications and community.  Watch this area of your chart light up.  Venus in your 10^th house of career trines transiting Uranus in your 6^th house of work and health adding a little excitement and good fortune to your life.  Another pleasant aspect is the out of sign trine of the NM in your 11^th house of goals to Pluto in your 4^th house of home and core issues.  You can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Future note; Saturn and Uranus will be in opposition from your 6^th house to your 12^th house.  watch for unexpected issues to arise that deal with work or health matters  around September 15^th, 2009

 SCORPIO-(October 24-November 22)

The New Moon takes place in your in your 10^th house of career.  it is in opposition to Neptune in the 4^th house of home and core issues.  You may have found that career and home issues have been confusing but, with this NM, the dawn will break.  Issues will become clearer.  The other important aspect is the Mutable T Square of Saturn and Mercury in the 11^th house of goals square Mars in the 8^th house of partnership funds and opposes Uranus in the 5^th house of children and love affairs.  All of this energy will be focused on your 2^nd house of personal finances and love.  Expect financial changes.  This NM is in an out of sign trine to Pluto in the 3^rd house easing communications and issues that deal with community.  Venus trining Uranus from the 9^th house of travel to the 5^th house of fun foretells of a splendid time for a get away.

Future note; Saturn and Uranus will conclude with this final opposition on September 15^th, 2009.  This may highlight your goals and dealings with children and love affairs.   

SAGITTARIUS-(November 22-December 21)

This New Moon takes place in your 9^th house of philosophy, foreign affairs, legal matters, education and travel.  You have been living with some uncertainty that seems to resolve itself during this NM and that is because of the opposition to Neptune in this NM.   Another major aspect is the Mutable T Square that involves Mercury conjunct Saturn in your 10^th house of career in opposition to Uranus in the 4^th house of home and in square to Mars in the 7^th house of partnerships.  The empty leg of the T Square falls in your 1^st house of personality and appearance.  I expect that you will be busy and trying your best to grow from this situation.  It’s all about the best part of your personality.  There is an out of sign trine from the NM to Pluto in the 2^nd house of personal finances and love, so I expect easy opportunities to surface.   Venus in Cancer in your 8^th house of partnership funds trines Uranus in your 4^th house of home and core issues.  Partnership finances are unexpected and are on the upswing.

Future note; Saturn and Uranus will be in their final opposition on September

15^th, 2009.  Look for freedom from issues of the home and career.

CAPRICORN-(December 22-January 19)

This New Moon takes place in your 8^th house of partnerships funds and other people’s money.  These issues have been iffy for a while but the NM in opposition to Neptune will clear some of the confusion.  The other major aspect with this NM is the Mercury Saturn conjunct in Virgo, your 9^th house of philosophy, legal matters and education, will oppose Uranus in the 3^rd house of communications and community and square Mars in the 6^th house of work and health.  The empty leg of this Mutable T Square is your 12^th house of behind the scenes activity.  Expect a lot of energy to come from the 12^th house that includes issues that have to do with institutions, the past, preparation and the subconscious.  There is a out of sign trine from this NM to Pluto in the first, making you look extremely good and, coupled with the Venus in the 7^th house of partnerships to Uranus in the 4^th, proves that love triumphs over all.

 AQUARIUS-(January 20-February 19)

This New Moon takes place in your 7^th house of partnerships in opposition to Neptune in the 1^st house.  There is an apparent understanding that is remarkably clearer today that it was yesterday.  Issues are starting to become more focused.  Another important aspect to this NM is the Mutable T Square that involves Mercury Saturn conjunct in the 8^th house of partnership funds in opposition to Uranus in the 2^nd house of personal values and finances and in square to Mars in the 5^th house of children, creativity and love affairs.  The energy from this Mutable T Square takes place in the empty house which is Sagittarius in your 11^th house of goals.  This foretells of issues dealing with friends, hopes, wishes and goals.  This house will be busting open with changes and mega-activity.  There is, also, an out of sign trine from the NM to Pluto in the 12^th easing issues from the past and offering comfort.  Venus in your 6^th house of work and health forms a trine to Uranus in your 2^nd house of personal finances and love.  This is freakishly good, so open up to it.  There is a Saturn Uranus opposition that occurs in September around the 15^th that will be the last in a series of three that has been redefining other people’s money.    

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.

Hi Friends, 

Mercury is still retrograde and has reentered Capricorn and goes direct Feb. 1^st, 2009 at 21 degrees of Capricorn.  Saturn is retrograde at 21 degrees of Virgo but quickly moves to 20 degrees.   Saturn and Uranus will be in opposition from Jan. 30^th to Feb. 11^th, 2009 but exact on Feb. 5^th.   Some patterns may arise that need to be redefined and /or changed.  This may not be easy and it may be happening to you and not by you.  Either way it will be better for you that the old ways leave and the new ones come in.  As this New Moon Eclipse slips into position you will notice that it is conjunct transiting Jupiter. This will be a powerful Solar Eclipse.  Jupiter conjunct the Sun and Moon, North node, Chiron and Neptune complete the planetary picture in Aquarius.  Aquarius is a fixed air sign and is ruled by Uranus, the planet of innovation, invention and the  unexpected.  New Moon Eclipses always bring in challenges and we are besieged by economic and national challenges.  This is a step in a new direction for all of us and with hope, hard work and honesty we will succeed.  I am writing this on Inauguration day and I am much moved by President Obama’s words.     In his speech he echoes the message of the New Moon Eclipse.  Rise up, take responsibility for yourself, and sacrifice for the future of our country so that our children and our children’s children will live a life of freedom and opportunity.  Wherever this Eclipse falls in your chart will be an awakening to what is ahead and will  tell us how to achieve our personal highest potential.  Jupiter will ensure this with expansion in this house.  There will be a journey from “what is” to “what is our personal goal.” The coming Full Moon Eclipse takes place in Leo at 20 degrees on Feb. 9^th 2009.

I will talk more about this in the coming week.

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

ARIES-(March 21-April 19)

The New Moon Eclipse takes place in your 11^th house of hopes, wishes and goals.  Jupiter conjunct this Eclipse injects optimism, innovation and expansion to your 11^th house.  There may be some challenges that you face at this time that fall under the auspices of the 11^th house.  You will not have to seek them out as you already are aware of them.  They may manifest in the physical but mental awareness is just as good.  There will be a Saturn Uranus opposition for you from the 12^th house of the past and behind the scenes activity to the 6^th house of everyday work and health.  Whatever leaves will help release you from the past and insure a new beginning in your 6^th house of everyday work or health.  Mercury goes direct on Feb. 1^st, 2009 forging a new direction in your 10^th house of career.

TAURUS-(April 20-May 20)

This New Moon Eclipse takes place in your 10^th house of career and standing in the community.  The addition of Jupiter conjunct this Eclipse expresses expansion and optimism in this area of your life.  Jupiter is also conjunct the Sun in Aquarius adding these qualities to the sign of Aquarius.   Your standing in the community and how the world sees you will be viewed in this next 6 months.  Expansion and innovation are keywords for this Eclipse.  There will be a challenge with this Eclipse but it may be more mental than physical.  There are plenty of challenges to go around so there will be no shortfall but optimism and inventiveness will serve you very well.  The Saturn Uranus opposition falls in your 11^th house of goals and opposes Saturn in the 5^th house of children and creativity and, least we not forget, love affairs.  There is a power that shakes your tree every so often and releases you from the shackles of the past.   This is one of those times.  This may not be easy and it may be happening to you and not by you.  Either way it will be better for you that the old ways leave and make room for some new ways that are a better expression of who you are today. Mercury goes direct on Feb. 1^st, 2009 in your 9^th house of philosophy, legal matters, foreign affairs and higher education enabling you to stabilize your plans for the future. 

 GEMINI-(May 21-June 20)

This New Moon Eclipse takes place in your 9^th house of philosophy, legal matters, higher education, and foreign affairs.  The 9^th house is generally a mental house and with Aquarius ruling this house, you are not a person to be hemmed in on any level especially philosophically.  Jupiter conjunct this Eclipse adds expansion and movement to your already independent thoughts.  There is always a challenge in a New Moon Eclipse and it may have to do with someone or something at a distance or new educational goals. The most significant part of this Eclipse is the hope and excitement of the possibilities that lie ahead.  Saturn and Uranus are in opposition from your 10^th house of career to your 4^th house of home and core issues.  This is a release from the past whether you like it or not.  This may not be easy and it may be happening to you and not by you.  Either way it will be better for you that the old ways leave and you can make room for the new s that better express who you are today.  Mercury goes direct in your 8^th house of partnership resources and other people’s money ensuring a new direction.

CANCER-(June 21-July 22)

Seasons Greetings!

I am so thrilled with this Holiday season.  I feel like the President-Elect will have a big change in his effect on the politics of the day.  I did some research on the President-Elect’s Chart.  Do you realize that he will have a transiting Jupiter conjunct his natal Jupiter on his inauguration day?  Think about this for a moment…Jupiter is entering Aquarius….Idealistic, independent, always for the common good.  That’s a lot of what we like about him.  Maybe politics will return to be For the people and not To the people.   I am hopeful.  This Holiday Season is more and more heart warming as I immerse myself in the holiday spirit.   This season is promising to be a spectacular and a very loving event. I hope you share your holiday season with people you care about and love. I have a lot to say about this New Moon in Capricorn so I best get to it.

This New Moon is at 6 degrees of Capricorn and for all of us, the go-get-um spirit of Capricorn is not only around, it is permeating everything this next month.  Mars, Pluto, Sun, Moon, Mercury, and Jupiter are all in Capricorn.  Wow!  Mars is on a train in Capricorn and will make conjunctions to natal and transiting planets forming beginning cycles to each.  Mars conjunct Pluto on the 29^th of December ushers in some powerful energy.  Depending on where it lands in your chart will be the telling fact for all of us.  Then, just like clockwork, Mars will conjunct the Sun, Mercury and Jupiter.  The Moon will have moved too quickly to get caught by Mars.  These are all new beginnings…Mars will conjunct the New Moon Sun on January 4^th and 5^th of 2009 giving you boundless energy and the ambition of a mountain goat.  As I move forward to see Mar’s next conjunction to Mercury, I can see that Mercury will be going retrograde on the 10^th of January at 7 degrees of Aquarius. As it retrogrades, it goes back into Capricorn to make its conjunction to Mars in Capricorn on January 27^th, 2009.  This has the ring of a serious debate.  The Mercury retrograde continues until it turns direct at 21 degrees of Capricorn on February 2, 2009.  When there is a change, in sign there is usually a change in mind.   We will talk more about this in January.

Not only is there a Stellium in Capricorn, but there is an additional Stellium in Aquarius.  As I review the chart for this New Moon, one aspect in Aquarius stands out like a red light; that is on this New Moon, there is a Venus conjunct Neptune. This promises love, giving, romance and generally good feeling.  The negative part is the overdoing of a good thing.  As far as aspects go, Saturn is in a wide trine to Jupiter and still in opposition to Uranus.  Saturn is going retrograde on Jan. 31^st extending its stay at 21 degrees until summer. 

This next month will bring in a New Moon Eclipse on Jan. 28^th, 2009 at 6 degrees of Aquarius.  I will have more about this in the next installment. 

ARIES-(March 21-April 19)

VIRGO-(August 23-September 22)

This New Moon takes place in your 5^th house of children and creativity.  Virgo on the ascendant immediately reminds me that Saturn in transiting your 1^st house has an indelible mark on your personality. Taking that into consideration and the fact that Virgo trines Capricorn, your challenge cannot be measured in conflicts but in opportunities.  The 5^th house has plenty of fun opportunities.  The only issues that will continue to plague you in the coming months will be work issues and partnerships. Keep your eyes open for the opportunities.

LIBRA-(September 23-October 22)

This New Moon falls in your 4^th house of home, core issues, beginnings and endings.  The challenge comes from where your home or from the inner core of your being.  You will be asked to make some important changes that require you to stretch your knowledge base and grow in order to satisfy the powers that be.  Your home and inner self are about to become very important in the coming years: yes, years.  Pluto transiting through Capricorn will dictate your 4^th house future.  Any planets you have in Libra, Cancer, Aries and Capricorn will be personally affected.

The Mercury retrograde lengthens this process thru the Eclipses.  So changes are coming mostly in how you think and deal with the past.

This New Moon takes place in the 11^th house of hopes, goals and wishes.  Along with this New Moon, you will be ushering in Pluto to your 11^th house promising transformation of friends, your goals and desires.  The Mercury retrograde begins in this house.

Transiting  Uranus, still in your first house opposing transiting Saturn, promises more lessons to be learned involving partnerships.   

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you!!!

Hi Friends and Colleagues,

I want to thank all of you for reading my work.  I love Astrology and I am grateful that I can do what I love.  This is a very mental, emotional and creative expression and I enjoy its depth and mental gymnastics.  I am grateful for my family and the untold happiness and peace I feel with them. I am grateful for the love of my life for without him, I would be lost. I am supremely grateful for my home, which is cozy and warm and holds all my memories and good feelings.  Since this is Thanksgiving, I think we should all acknowledge what we are grateful for.  We usually do it sitting around the table before we dive into our Feast.  I am going to ask you to acknowledge what you’re grateful for at your table. This has been a difficult year but all years have their ups and downs. We are on the precipice of a New Year and all our hopes are sky high.   If we are grateful, we won’t be worried about tomorrow.  We are all on a personal journey throughout our lives that interweaves with the journeys of others forming a tapestry of life. Communication, kindness, empathy and love are the colors of this work of art. Sensitivity, intuition and understanding form the pattern of the tapestry.    I am so thankful today and I hope you are too.

This New Moon at 5 degrees of Sagittarius has set us on a new path that we may not be aware of for another week or so. If you know Sag like I know Sag, you would say that life was about to get more fun.  Sag brings vitality, curiosity and expansion to this New Moon.  You’ll start to feel more at ease and celebratory. The chart shows a strong trine from Sun, Moon, Mercury and Mars to the South node in Leo.  This indicates an harmonious aspect between the above mentioned planets and the point of the South node.  There seems to be something you came to learn in this life and this New Moon will give you the opportunity.

Saturn is still in orb to the opposition to Uranus but for all intents and purposes, I feel this has reached its high point.  I know it is still a challenge but you have achieved more control over the aspect.

I would like to explain how I interpret my forecasts.  I construct a chart of the New Moon or Full Moon and examine the aspects that are made in the chart.  I take each sign and forecast the aspects thru the prism of that rising sign and constellation.

Since I am not doing your chart personally, I am using your rising sign as our contact point.  I interpret the New Moon or Full Moon thru the prism of your ascendant.  I feel this is less general and may have more meaning for you.  You need to see how your planets influence my aspects.  (Only if you are students is this a possibility.)

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

This election will be over soon and we will all be able to breathe a sigh of relief. Whoever gets in will have overwhelming situations to deal with.  The economy is in trouble and, by my calculations, there will changes that start in January of 2010 that will transform our values,  as well as our finances, until October of 2011.

For my astrology students: look at the chart for the U.S. and you will see that Pluto will conjunct Venus during this period.

For each of us there will be a change in our personal financial values. Questions like “Is this worth the time? Or energy?”  The operative word will be ” worth”.  You will be making decisions on worth throughout next year.  Values are changing.

I am starting to get ready for Thanksgiving and Christmas, my favorite holidays.  I always say it’s too much work but I must be programmed to perform Holiday Feasts.  This Thanksgiving will be a first as my daughter has gotten engaged and, hopefully, there will be a new mouth to feed at the table.  My son Anthony, his wife Robin and my granddaughters, Cassandra and Isabella, will be here and I want them to remember these special times when we are all together.  I always make a turkey but, in reality, by the time we get to the turkey, everyone is pretty full.  I still make it because it’s tradition. I was jostling ideas about some traditional Italian dishes I could make before the turkey.  I’ve always had my granddaughters over to help cook special dishes.  This year when I have them over, they will learn another Italian dish for Thanksgiving.  Mmmm-m.    So far, they have helped me make stuffed shells and lasagna.  If you have any ideas…please comment.

This month has some very interesting aspects.  The first thing I want to address is the New Moon in Scorpio.  This Moon is sensitive, intense, secretive and fixed.  It comes in with a mission.  The New Moon Eclipse back on August 1^st, 2008 at 9 degrees of Leo, is in square to this New Moon, bringing many challenges from the last three months to a head.  This will be a turning point in matters associated with the challenges that appeared on that New Moon Eclipse on Aug. 1 ^th,  2008.  What was challenging you at that time? The challenges will in some degree, be resolved this next month.  

RULE: New Moons bring in challenges and Full Moons bring in resolutions.

RULE: Squares bring in change.

RULE: Oppositions bring in endings. 

I am writing with more astrological data so you can see how I came to my conclusions.  The main aspects are: the above New Moon Square the August 1^st, 2008 New Moon Eclipse,  the Fixed T square that is explained in each zodiacal sig, Uranus and Saturn are in the throes of opposing each other and will be part of this months changes. Uranus in Pisces and Saturn in Virgo are both in mutable signs forecasting change from the old to the new. Usually, it is pretty explosive or unexpected.  It is and has been in orb for awhile, so you may be letting go of old, familiar and safe, for the unexpected, unusual and unfamiliar.  The words I hear most at these times are, “It’s not worth it to continue this path!”  You probably realize by now that the opposition is exact on Election Day.   In your personal lives there will be a letting go of something for more freedom. On a national level, it is the Election.  On a personal level, it takes place where Virgo and Pisces are positioned in your chart.  I have tried to make it easier for you to see the connections between the aspects.  I don’t know if I have succeeded.  You will have to let me know. Last, but not least, is Jupiter in Capricorn in Square to Mercury in Libra. 

Mercury went direct on October 15^th, 2008 and by October 31^st it will have passed the position where it went retrograde.  This means that anything that was delayed up to that day will start to manifest after passing the 22^nd degree of Libra.  Mercury will square Jupiter on the New Moon bringing in a lot of communication. I have tried to show you where it will come from.  Please comment on this style of Astrology. 

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

ARIES-(March 21-April 19)

This New Moon falls in your 8^th house of partnership finances or other people’s money.  The Eclipse in August was in your 5^th house of children, creativity and love affairs. These issues have reached a turning point for you.  Mars is forming a fixed square to the North Node and Chiron in the 11^th house of goals and square the South Node in the 5^th house of children, creativity, investments and love affairs.  The empty leg of this T square is Taurus, your 2^nd house, and promises challenges to your personal finances and values.  Scorpio New Moon also indicates strong and deliberate moves. Saturn is in Virgo, in your 6^th house of everyday work and health, and redefining them.  Saturn transiting the 6^th house of everyday work will be unable to contain the stress of freedom that cries from within. The Saturn opposition Uranus has to do with breaking away from the old patterns because you are unable to continue them. Mercury will resume its travel in your 7^th house of partnership and will square Jupiter signaling a communication deluge.

TAURUS-(April 20-May 20)

This New Moon falls in your 7^th house of partnership.  This New Moon squares the last New Moon Eclipse of August 1^st, 2008 in Leo your 4^th house of home.  Your deliberate actions speak of a turning point that is about to take place that refers back to this beginning challenge.  Mars in Scorpio is square to the North Node and Chiron in your 10^th house of Aquarius and the South Node in your 4^th house.  The empty leg of this Fixed T square is in your 1^st house of personality and movement.  Fixed squares or T squares always try to ignore the obvious.  This energy tells me that you are about to do something, even though this is not the best time for it to take place.  If you ask me, perseverance always pays off.  Saturn in your 5^th house of children, creativity, love affairs and investments is coming to an opposition to Uranus in your 11^th house of goals.  This opposition is mutable and signals unexpected changes in these areas.  I do have to say that this aspect has the tendency to throw the baby out with the bath water.  Mercury makes a square to Jupiter from your 6^th house of everyday work and health producing mega-communications

GEMINI-(May 21-June 20)

This New Moon lands in your 6^th house of everyday work and health.  This is a very stubborn New Moon.  It also forms a square aspect to the New Moon Eclipse from August 1^st, 2008 that took place in your 3^rd house of communication and community. This square will usher in a turning point to the issues that have been a concern for the last three months.  The Fixed T square from Mars in the 6^th to Chiron and the North Node in the 9^th of foreign affairs, philosophy, education and legal matters, also squares the South Node in the 3^rd house of communications.  The empty leg is Taurus, your 12^th house of the past, hidden matters and institutions.  The energy will flow to the 12^th house and manifest as action from there.  Uranus in Pisces in the 10^th house of career is being opposed by Saturn in the 4^th house of home and core issues.  This may be the time for reassessment.  Think of what matters the most and not what bothers you the most.  Mercury makes a square to Jupiter from your 5^th house to your 8^th house of partnership finances. Money seems to be an issue.

CANCER-(June 21-July 22) 

This New Moon takes place in your 5^th house of children, creativity and investments, foretelling of positive events to your ascendant but stressful events when it comes to finances.  There is a square from the New Moon of this month to the New Moon Eclipse in August 1^st , 2008 in your 2^nd house of personal finances.  This month will be the turning point for issues dealing with personal finances.  Mars also in your 5^th house of Scorpio will square the north node and Chiron in your 8^th house of partnership finances. It will also square the south node in the 2^nd of finances forming a Fixed T square.  The empty leg of this fixed T square points to your 11^th house of goals suggesting you will put much energy to achieving your goals. Uranus in Pisces in your 9^th house of legal matters, foreign affairs, philosophy and education will be in exact opposition with Saturn in your 3^rd of communication and community bringing in unexpected change.  Mercury in your 4^th of home and core issues will be square to Jupiter in your 7^th house of partnership and focuses your communication on partnership matters and the home.

LEO-(July 23-August 22)

This New Moon takes place in your 4^th house focusing on home and core issues.  A major implication for this New Moon is that it squares the New Moon Eclipse of August 1, 2008 in your 1^st house of movement and personality.  You will see the issues of that last Eclipse reach a turning point and it will not have the same power over you.  Mars in Scorpio squares Chiron and the North Node in your 7^th house of partnerships and the South Node in Leo, your 1^st house of  personality movement.  These aspects form a T square.

VIRGO-(August 23-September 22)

This New Moon in Scorpio takes place in your 3^rd house of communication and community.  Another consideration is that it is the square to our previous New Moon Eclipse on August 1^st, 2008 in Leo and your 1^st house of personality and promotion.  This square usually brings about a turning point in the challenges of that Eclipse.  The Mars in Scorpio also forms a square to Chiron and the North Node in the 6^th house of everyday work and health and another square to the South Node in your 12^th house of the past and hidden matters.  The empty leg of this T square is the 9^th house of philosophy, higher education, legal matters and foreign affairs.  It gets plenty of energy from these aspects and goes directly to the 9^th house.   Uranus in Pisces is in your 7^th house of partnerships in opposition to Saturn in Virgo in your 1^st house of personality and promotion urging you to be on the lookout for unexpected partnership dealings.  You may be changing your mind when it comes to partnerships.  Mercury in Libra, your 2^nd house of personal finances and love, is square to Jupiter in the 5^th house of children, creativity, love affairs and investments increasing communications along those lines.

LIBRA-(September 23-October 22)

Saturn in the 12^th house of the past and institutions is in opposition to Uranus in the 6^th house of health and everyday work injecting unexpected events to occur in these areas.  Try to keep your composure.  Mercury in your 1^st house of personality and promotion squares Jupiter in the 4^th of home and core issues.

SCORPIO-(October 24-November 22)

Mercury in your 12^th house of the past and institutions will square Jupiter in the 3^rd house of communication and community.  To say this is an active New Moon is an understatement.

Greetings, fellow stargazers…

Loosen up friends.  Last month’s barrage of crushing situations is giving rise to the “I need a vacation syndrome”.  I feel that this little old Italian mama has been beaten to a pulp by a meatball.  I survived. How did you do?  I have many problems to solve because of last month and there are new situations that need prioritizing.  I’m sure it is the same with you.  This month the Sun is in Libra and that’s my ascendant.  This is always my favorite time of the year.  Check to see what house your Libra rules as it will be an even ride, for a change.  The Sun on my ascendant and moving thru the first house tells me that I will be more emotionally stable this month (thank God) and getting a lot of attention.  Venus enters Scorpio and love and money start to get a tad bit intense and secretive.  Mercury will be going direct on the 15^th setting the

stage for a revised Mercury transit. It goes all the way back to September 3, 2008 to renew decisions.  Uranus is still retrograde all month at 19 degrees of Pisces urging you to see if you have any planets at 19 degrees in mutable (Sag, Gemini, Virgo).  If so, hang on to your socks; the unexpected is going to rock your world.  As with any New Moon, some situations arise that will need your attention.  Wherever Libra is in your chart will give you the area to focus on for answers.

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

ARIES-(March 21-April 19)

This Libra New Moon takes place in your 7^th house of partnerships and dealing 

with the public.  This encompasses business and/or personal partnerships.  This will form a harmonious aspect if you have planets in Aquarius and Gemini.  This New Moon is in opposition to your Sun and you may feel a bit challenged by partnerships.  Mercury is still retrograde in your 7^th house of partnerships until the 15^th of October and all screw ups should be on their way to being ironed out.   You are now in the outcome phase of your Saturn cycle and from the 21^st of

TAURUS-(April 20-May 20)

This Libra New Moon takes place in your 6^th house of everyday work and health.  The challenge you will encounter will evolve from one of these areas or both.  Venus just entered your 7^th house adding a bit of joyous intensity to your partnerships.  Jupiter is adding expansion to your 9^th house of foreign affairs and travel and still trining your Saturn in the 5^th of love affairs and creativity.  Mercury retrograde in your 6^th house reviews the issues of this last month and makes adjustments.  Mercury goes direct on October 15^th, 2008. 

GEMINI-(May 21-June 20)

This Libra New Moon takes place in your 5^th house of creativity, love affairs, children and investments.  Gemini is the

house of the twins; therefore, you should be able to handle two or three challenges that arrive on the scene.  This New Moon will offer opportunity to you personally since it trines Gemini assuring you of some measure of success.  You are probably working hard and if Saturn is squaring your Sun, recognition is non-existent.  This is a period of change for you so observe your opportunities and recognize your foibles.  Change is in the air and you can feel it.

CANCER-(June 21-July 22) 

This Libra New Moon takes place in your 4^th house of home and core issues.  

Personal challenges that involve your home or family matters seem to come up for attention.  You are drawn to solve any 4^th house matter quickly and emphatically as harmony at your core is not negotiable.  This may be dealing with the delays that surround home issues.  Communications may not be what you desire, but information will improve by October 15^th

when Mercury goes direct.

LEO-(July 23-August 22)

This Libra New Moon takes place in your 3^rd house of communications and community, brothers and sisters.  Take a

minute to realize that Mercury is retrograde in Libra and Mercury may be the direct result of your current challenge.  This challenge may symbolize your investment in home and community.  Venus entering Scorpio will definitely add some spice to your home life.  There are contradictions in your life that leave you feeling quite uneasy.  This is momentary.  Seek your answers in your Heart Charkha and peace will follow.  Neptune in your 7^th house bestows permanent rose- colored

glasses for you to see through. 

VIRGO-(August 23-September 22)

This Libra New Moon takes place in your 2^nd house of love, finance and values. 

 This is all about strengthening your financial outlook.  This looks like a time to fashion a budget and try to stick to it.  Your attitude about money needs to be adjusted to accommodate recent financial directions.  Mercury retrograde developed in this 2^nd house ushering in delays where finances are concerned. 

Maybe it’s time to evaluate what is meaningful and correct for you at this time in your life.  Oct.15, 2008 will bring in answers and new beginnings in terms of love, money and values.

LIBRA-(September 23-October 22)

This Libra New Moon takes place in your 1^st house of personality and how you 

appear to the outside world.  There will be challenges that appear that make you use your innate talents to move forward.  The accent will be on you, your accomplishments and personality.   This is a great time for promotion and seeking new avenues to perform these tasks.  This is usually a time when the spotlight is on you and who you really are appears and blossoms.  Saturn still transiting your 12^th house of the past and preparation allows you to dump emotional baggage before Saturn reaches the ascendant.  Mercury retrograde in your 1^st house delays some personal choices in order to make sure

this is the direction you want to go.

SCORPIO-(October 24-November 22)

This Libra New Moon takes place in your 12^th house of the past, preparation and  

institutions.  You may be examining the past and your own feelings. This is a time when you are looking forward to moving ahead but everything seems in slow motion.  You may hear from people from the past or have visitors arriving unexpectedly.  Surprise!  This Mercury retrograde continues to retrograde in your 12^th house until Oct. 15, 2008 when it

will take its continued and final journey thru Libra.

SAGITTARIUS-(November 22-December 21)

This Libra New Moon takes place in your 11^th house of hopes, wishes and goals.  

Since it is so weaved into the Mercury retrograde, you may find that some of your goals may be delayed until Oct. 15^th,

2008.  Have you asked yourself lately, “Where am I going?  What direction would be best?  What choices do I have?”  These are some of the questions you will be answering in the near future.  You have reached a pinnacle in your career and new challenges beckon you.

CAPRICORN-(December 22-January 19)

This Libra New Moon takes place in your 10^th house of career.  There seems to be something you have always wanted to

do but never found the opportune time to develop it.  You have now come to the conclusion there no time like the present to begin your career anew.  You are starting like you always start with confidence, organization and passion.  Mercury retrograde will delay some things for awhile but, ultimately, you will make your dreams come true.  Saturn in your 9^th says

it’s now or never.

AQUARIUS-(January 20-February 19)

This Libra New Moon takes place in your 9^th house of legal matters, philosophy, higher education and foreign affairs. 

This is very much a mental house for you and in great aspect to the New Moon.  You want to make some changes in your philosophy or plan a foreign vacation.  Now you can. Mercury retrograde will give you plenty of time to work out the kinks.  There will be a plan but it won’t come together until Oct. 15^th when Mercury goes direct.  Money seems to be

looking good.

PISCES-(February 20-March 20)

This Libra New Moon takes place in your 8^th house of other people’s money, sex, death and taxes.  The challenges here

seem to revolve around finances.  Your concern for finances seems paramount at this time.  There are going to be delays but this Libra New Moon announces fairness and justice. That is one part of the challenge.  The other part of this challenge is fear; fear because of the Mercury retrograde and time restraints. Tune into your heart center for personal peace.
