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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Not anything I want to remember or talk about.

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

Thank you…

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

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

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

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

My dear friends….

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

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

Thank you ahead of time for this healing.

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

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

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

 The fee for this is $30. 00 a month.  If you want a three month involvement, it will be $25.00 a month. A six month involvement would be $20.00 a month.  You can find these options on my pay pal page. This is a one-time only introductory price.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Note:  The meanings for the houses are abbreviated solely for my expediency and yours.  The meanings for all the houses can be found on the internet and, hopefully, be complete.  If you feel that these don’t fit your circumstances, look them up. 

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

ARIES-(March 21-April 19)

This New Moon Eclipse takes place in your 10^th house of career and standing in the community.   Saturn in your 7^th house of partnerships is preparing the ground for some hard work and partnership issues.  Uranus in the 12^th house sextiles the New Moon Eclipse conjunct Venus suggests this is something from the past that becomes available to you quite unexpectedly.  Mercury is going direct and will detail the coming events in Capricorn, your 10^th house.   Jupiter at 29 degrees of Aquarius will soon enter Pisces, your 12^th house of behind-the-scenes activity, the subconscious mind and institutions.  This will be an eleventh hour savior for you throughout the coming year.  Jupiter in the 12^th is considered last minute help.  Career seems to be uppermost in your mind at this time and it will be very active for you on a personal basis. 

TAURUS-(April 20-May 20)

This New Moon Eclipse takes place in your 9^th house of legal matters, higher education, philosophy, publishing and foreign affairs.  It is conjunct Venus and that can only be good.  It forms a sextile to transiting Uranus in the 11^th house of goals opening opportunities for you to reach your desired goals.  This NME also involves a square from transiting Saturn in your 6^th house of work and everyday health to square Pluto and Mercury in your 9^th house of legal matters, higher education, philosophy, publishing and foreign affairs.  This aspect can be very disruptive as it asks you to make an instant plan during a difficult time.  It will also ask you to be flexible during this transit which is not so easy for fixed planets (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius). Jupiter will be entering Pisces and expanding your goals.

 GEMINI-(May 21-June 20)

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

 CANCER-(June 21-July 22)

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

LEO-(July 23-August 22)

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

VIRGO-(August 23-September 22)

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

LIBRA-(September 23-October 22)

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

 SCORPIO-(October 24-November 22)

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

 SAGITTARIUS-(November 22-December 21)

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

CAPRICORN-(December 22-January 19)

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

 AQUARIUS-(January 20-February 19)

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

PISCES-(February 20-March 20)

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

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

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

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

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

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

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

 Note:  The meanings for the houses are abbreviated solely for my expediency and yours.  The meanings for all the houses can be found on the internet and, hopefully, be complete.  If you feel that these don’t fit your circumstances look them up. 

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

ARIES-(March 21-April 19)

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

TAURUS-(April 20-May 20)

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

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

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

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

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

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

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

Note:  The meanings for the houses are abbreviated solely for my expediency and yours.  The meanings for all the houses can be found on the internet and, hopefully, be complete.  If you feel that these don’t fit your circumstances look them up.

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

ARIES-(MARCH 21-APRIL 19)

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

TAURUS-(APRIL 20-MAY 20)

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

GEMINI-(MAY 21-JUNE 20)

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

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22)

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

LEO (JULY 23-AUGUST 22)

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

VIRGO (AUGUST 23-SEPTEMBER 22)

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

LIBRA (SEPTEMBER 23-OCTOBER 22)

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

SCORPIO (OCTOBER 24-NOVEMBER 22)

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

SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER 22-DECEMBER 21)

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

CAPRICORN (DECEMBER 22-JANUARY 19)

This starts off the Mercury cycle for you.  On December 26^th Mercury will go retrograde and you may be some unwanted delays that you encounter.  Mars is transiting your 8^th house of partnership resources, other people’s money, sex, death and taxes and continues to promise a redefinition of this area of your life.  Mars will go retrograde on December 20^th so expect delays here also.  Saturn has entered Libra, your 10^th house of career and standing in the community.  You may have been feeling as if career matters need to be revised and, actually, that is what will be going on in the next 2 ½ years. The period between now and April 8^th will give you an indication of what is coming in July and August of 2010. Meanwhile, the period from April 10^th 2010 to July 2010 is a final resolution to Saturn in Virgo.

AQUARIUS (JANUARY 20-FEBRUARY 19)

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

PISCES (FEBRUARY 20-MARCH 20)

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

The New Moon on Nov. 16, 2009 is at 24 degrees of Scorpio.  I immediately connected this NM to transiting Uranus at 22 degrees of Pisces, which is a water trine.  I continued to view the NM chart I saw that there is an obvious fixed square from the NM to transiting Neptune, Chiron and Jupiter.    The last FM contained a fixed square but the difference is that from this fixed square there is a water trine taking place with Uranus.   Whenever there is a square aspect and a trine aspect located at one of the points that square,  means that whatever has been challenging you is about to give off a beneficial  outcome.  It may be that it is an opportunity to see reality thru our own distorted view.  Depending on where these combinations land in your natal chart will give more meaning as to what area of your life these manifestations will occur.

 Looking at Mars to oppose Jupiter is a lost cause as Mars goes retrograde on December 20^th.   They get close enough to make an impact on December 13, 2009 to December 26, 2009.  Travel is the usual with this aspect and some of you will be taking a trip back home.  One last thought…wherever Mars is transiting in your chart is where the redefining takes place.  Imagine a mini-Saturn.

This NM seems to be handing us a challenge in one hand and giving us a gift with the other.  This can be exciting and rewarding all at the same time.

Another important aspect that takes place is the transiting Saturn square transiting Pluto.  This becomes exact at the NM and starts to release the inner pressure cooker you have been recently experiencing.

Mercury enters Sagittarius on the NM, and, suddenly, you become interested and curious about everything and everybody.  Travel is on your mind as is a break from the humdrum.

(Note:  The meanings for the houses are abbreviated solely for my expediency and yours.  The meanings for all the houses can be found on the internet and, hopefully, be complete.  If you feel that these don’t fit your circumstances look them up. )

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

ARIES-(March 21-April 19)

This New Moon takes place in your 8^th house of partnership finances, sex, death and taxes.  The NM offers challenges in this area of your life and is in square to the transiting Jupiter, Chiron, and Neptune that have taken residence in your 11^th house of goals.  The gift of this is the trine from the NM to Uranus in the 12^th house of behind-the-scenes activity.  This actually gives you great insight into what your next plan should be.  The exact square from Saturn to Pluto falls in your 7^th house of partnership (business or personal) and targets Pluto in your 10^th house of career.  This forces you to make a decision you didn’t want to make but, like everything we fear, the reality of your decision releases the pressure you have been under.  Mars in your 5^th house is redefining your relationship with children, love affairs and creativity.  Mars is also in a fire sign and trines all your fire planets.  LUCKY YOU!

TAURUS-(April 20-May 20)

This New Moon takes place in your 7^th house of partnership (business or personal) and makes a square aspect to Jupiter, Chiron and Neptune in your 10^th house of career.  The challenge you face is all about reality:  what is real and what is not.  This is a strong challenge as it takes place on the 7^th and 10^th angles of your chart.    This is personal to you.  The gift in this situation is the trine the NM makes to transiting Uranus in the 11^th house of goals.  There is an opportunity to achieve some of your personal goals.  The Saturn transit square transiting Pluto is exact at this time assuring you of taking some kind of stand.  Saturn is transiting your 6^th house of everyday work and health in exact square to Pluto transiting in your 9^th house of education, philosophy, legal matters, and foreign affairs.   Mars is currently transiting your 4^th house of home and core issues and redefining everything it touches.   The changes you are making are happening from the inside out.   Mercury enters Sagittarius, your 8^th house of partnership resources and makes you question every word that is spoken. 

GEMINI-(May 21-June 20)

This NM takes place in your 6^th house of everyday work and health.  This is where the challenge of this NM takes place.  The fixed square to Jupiter, Chiron and Neptune in your 9^th house of higher education, legal matters, philosophy and foreign affairs forces you to see the reality of your situation and make the necessary adjustments.  The gift of this NM is the trine from the 6^th house to Uranus in the 10^th house of career.  Some unexpected career opportunity seems to be in the offing.  This can be insightful and delightful.  The Saturn transit in the 5th house of children, creativity and love affairs culminates its exact square to Pluto in the 8^th house of partnership resources with this NM.  This has been an intense time for you as it involves money and resources.  The decisions you make at this time will release the pressure of this aspect and you will be happier for it.   You have been trying not to make this decision and which is why the pressure started to build.  You will be relieved.  Mars has been transiting your 3^rd house of community, communications, brothers and sisters making sure that this area is restructured before Saturn re-enters Virgo. 

CANCER-(June 21-July 22)

This NM takes place in your 5^th house of children, creativity and love affairs.  This NM is in square to transiting Jupiter, Chiron and Neptune causing you to look closely at partnership resources or 8^th house matters.  This is a time for a reality check and for issues to come to some peak.  The gift of this square is the trine it makes from the NM to Uranus in your 9^th house of higher education, philosophy, foreign affairs and legal matters.   This is the reality factor and forces you to make certain decisions that have been brewing for the last couple of months.  Transiting Saturn in your 4^th house of home and core issues squaring transiting Pluto in the 7^th house forces you to make decisions that involve partnership and inner issues.  These decisions are personal to you as they take place on the angles of the 4^th house and 7^th house.  Mars currently transiting the 2^nd house of personal finances and redefining your personal money is adjusting your values to equate with the Saturn in Libra transit.    Mercury just entering Sagittarius will be an ally for you this month
