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!

Happy Hollidays

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

ARIES-(March 21-April 19)

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

TAURUS-(April 20-May 20)

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

 GEMINI-(May 21-June 20)

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

 CANCER-(June 21-July 22)

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

LEO-(July 23-August 22)

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

VIRGO-(August 23-September 22)

This NM takes place in your 4^th house of home and core issues and can be  quite festive.  Uranus in the 7^th house in square to this NM asks us to expect the unexpected when it comes to partnerships and the general public.  You are probably planning a holiday party or going to a holiday party but some unexpected and/or exciting event can come about involving partnerships. This can be business or personal or both.  Mars is transiting your 12^th house of behind-the-scenes activity, the past and preparation trining this NM and ushering in positive events.   Mars in this 12^th house has been  and will continue to redefine this area of your life.  On December 20^th, 2009 Mars will go retrograde and issues you thought were etched in stone are starting to crumble before your eyes.  Not to worry.  Sometimes we have to act on situations to see where they will go.  The opportunity to redo the last 3 months will come on March 10^th.   There is a Jupiter conjunct Neptune on December 20^th  to the 24^th urging you to beware of over-exaggerating your everyday work situation.  LIBRA-(September 23-October 22)

This NM takes place in your 3^rd house of communications and community.    This NM will improve communications and permit you to arrange festivities for the holiday season.  Uranus transiting the 6^th house of everyday work and health is in square to the NM putting an unexpected work situation or health issue in conflict with your personal desires.   Mars is transiting your 11^th house of hopes, wishes and goals and trines this NM  thus bringing your goals into reaching distance.  Jupiter will conjunct Neptune from December 20^th to December 24^th in your 5^th house of children, creativity and romance reminding  you to recognize situations built on illusion or delusion. Drugs and alcohol can literately create the impossible dream.  Mars goes retrograde on December 20^th, 2009 in your 11^th house to distract you from your original plans for your goals.  You will be changing or redefining them in the next 3 months.  You have been under some stress lately with Saturn in your 1^st house squaring Pluto in your 4^th house of home and core issues.

 SCORPIO-(October 24-November 22)

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

This retrograde brings you closer to what you really want. 

  SAGITTARIUS-(November 22-December 21)

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

Jupiter conjuncts Neptune from December 20^th to the 24^th ushering in a time when finances can be over-exaggerated or feelings may take a romantic route.  (Reality is pretty puffed up, like a hot air balloon.)

AQUARIUS-(January 20-February 19)

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

PISCES-(February 20-March 20)

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

  This Full Moon is at 10 degrees of Taurus and is part of a Grand Fixed Cross.  This happens when there are four planets in fixed signs in square to each other.  If you look at the chart for the Full Moon, you will see that Jupiter, Chiron and Neptune square the Full Moon at 10 degrees of Taurus.  Mars in Leo is in square to the Sun and Mercury in Scorpio.  The Elements in Astrology are Fire, Earth, Air, and Water.  Each Element governs three constellations.

Fire                        Earth                    Air                             Water 

Action                  Practical                Intellectual               Emotional

Aries                     Taurus               Gemini                     Cancer

Leo                       Virgo                  Libra                        Scorpio

Sagittarius             Capricorn           Aquarius                   Pisces

The Elements are 120 degrees apart forming a classic Trine aspect. Each of these Elements (Fire, Earth, Air and Water) contains another important sub-division. This is where the constellations are divided into the modalities of Cardinal, Fixed and Mutable.

 Cardinal signs have beginning energy. They are the initiators of Astrology

 Fixed signs have the ability to withstand tremendous amounts of pressure and continue to endure.

Mutable signs contain the desire and ability for change.  

If they are in a 90 degree relationship with each other they form a square.

 For instance;

       (90 degrees)           (90 degrees)      (90 degrees)

  Fire                     Earth                       Air                      Water          Modality

Aries                 Capricorn                  Libra               Cancer               Cardinal

Leo                    Taurus                     Aquarius         Scorpio               Fixed 

Sagittarius           Virgo                      Gemini           Cancer                Mutable

Back to this Full Moon in Taurus…this setup speaks of pressure and where-ever the FM takes place will be the area where this pressure is felt.    This is also the area that will incur changes.  Venus with her bright shining light radiates her social intensity in a grand trine to transiting Neptune, Chiron and Jupiter.  Situations of a more immediate nature are more socially oriented than usual.  You are on a precipice and you know it.  Which way to go?  How will it turn out? These are looming questions for you at this point.  Transiting Saturn is squaring Transiting Pluto and, this alone, will relieve some stress by the end of the month.

The anxieties that you feel now are because of the transitions you are about to face in the next 6 months.  Saturn is leaving Virgo and is now in Libra.  It will return to Virgo to complete some unfinished business but not until April of 2010.  You are preparing for that last transit of Saturn in Virgo to complete this cycle.  Mars in Leo is actually more important on a daily basis because it is laying the foundation for what is to come in April.   This is the true ending of Saturn in Virgo and of the promise of completion of some long held goals. 

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 2^nd house of values and personal finances.  This is the mainstay of pressure for you.  You may be looking at your personal finances and trying to maintain a modicum of sanity as finances or relationships are dark clouds that loom in the future. Your ingenuity and resourcefulness are being stretched to the maximum.   This is the reason for the pressure.   In order to grow you must reach beyond our normal limitations to grow.  Partnership issues are easy and can be romantic.  Mars is transiting your 5^th house of creativity and redefining this area to prepare you for the Saturn in Libra transit.

TAURUS-(April 20-May 20)

This Full Moon takes place in your 1^st house of personality and how others see you.  The physical you has had some changes and continues to change as time goes on.  You are projecting new personality traits that may shock you or the people close to you.  Since all of this is taking place in your angular houses of 1^st, 4^th, 7^th and 10^th ,your everyday life is intensely affected.  Venus in your 6^th house of everyday work is claiming a victory in achieving a long held goal.  Mars in Leo in your 4^th house of home and core issues is taking on the role of headmaster and taking full control.  

GEMINI-(May 21-June 20)

This Full Moon takes place in your 12^th house of behind-the-scenes activity, the past and the subconscious.  Changes in your thinking or situations from the past seem to be the pressure that is permeating your consciousness. This can have to do with the anticipation of future changes due to some unforeseen circumstances.  Mars in Leo in your 3^rd house of communication and community is taking charge and redefining this area of your life.  Saturn entering your 5^th house tells me that your creative mind and issues that deal with children are the objects of your future concern.   Preparing for these challenges is the basis for your anxiety.  Venus in her social way has provided you with delightful thoughts and visions of the possibilities to come.   Saturn will be squaring Pluto this month and some pressures will be lifted.

CANCER-(June 21-July 22)

This Full Moon takes place in your 11^th house of hopes, wishes and goals.  Some issues have been solved for you but this is by no means the end of it.  It may be that you are pressured into changing some of your goals or wishes temporarily in order to overcome some pending obstacles.  Personal finances and the values that you hold so dear are demanding your full and undivided attention. Saturn entering Libra will be in a cardinal square to your ascendant and many core observations and changes will be marked for redefinition in these next 2 ½ years.  Transiting Saturn is also in a square to transiting Pluto forcing you to make the necessary changes in your life that will ensure the future.  Transiting Venus in the 4^th house makes a generous trine to transiting Neptune, Chiron and Jupiter bringing some delightful news about finances coming your way.   

LEO-(July 23-August 22)

This Full Moon takes place in your 10^th house of career and standing in the community.  The changes in this sector are always of major concern because career is an integral part of who you are.  Changes in this area alter the way society sees you.  If you add some new skill to your list of accomplishments or if you discontinue a skill for some reason your career persona will be measured by that action.    This FM has brought you some uncompromising positions that affect almost every area of your life.  Mars transiting your 1^st house of personality has put you out in the open doing self promotion.   This is very necessary for your future endeavors.  Transiting Saturn squaring transiting Pluto adds pressure to the current situation by pushing you to accomplish certain goals that will affect you on a daily basis.  All is not bad as transiting Venus in your 3^rd house of communications and community trine transiting Neptune, Chiron and Jupiter in your 7^th house of partnerships.  This can be seen as a major celebration or a major event.    

VIRGO-(August 23-September 22)

This Full Moon takes place in your 9^th house of philosophy, legal matters, foreign affairs and higher education.  There are changes taking place in this house that have been putting a lot of mental pressure on you.   Some emotional issues have been slowly inching into your conscious mind.  This is not something that you can deactivate as it is sparked by your own emotional past.  These issues have a way of surfacing and engaging you in your day to day life.  Awareness is your only colleague in this quest.   Transiting Saturn is in square to transiting Pluto pushing for changes in your everyday life.  Mars in your 12^th house of behind-the-scenes activities, the past, preparation and institutions will be redefining this area for you in the next 6 months.   Transiting Venus in your 2^nd house of personal finances delights you with its trine to transiting Neptune, Chiron and Jupiter in your 6^th house of everyday work and health insuring some personal financial goals.

LIBRA-(September 23-October 22)

The stress you have been under has to do with your personal finances, your creative ability to make things happen and your financial reality.   Money that you receive from others or partnership funds is about to change.   Transiting Saturn is squaring transiting Pluto from the 1^st house to the 4^th house, creating a tremendous pressure for you to make personal changes that will impact your home or core issues within the next month.  There does seem to be a tinkle of liberation and romantic involvement as Venus, your ascendant ruler, is trining Neptune, Chiron and Jupiter in the 5^th house of love affairs.  Mars in your 11^th house is in the process of redefining your goals hopes and wishes for the next 6 months. 
 SCORPIO-(October 24-November 22)

This Full Moon takes place in your 7^th house of partnerships. (Business or Personal) This is an interesting placement for the Full Moon as it intensifies in an angular house.  You may be involved in modifying or ending some association that has been a thorn in your side.  This is the Fixed Cross on your chart angles that makes things just a little more anxious.  Mars is transiting your 10^th house of career and redefining this area in the next 6 months.  Career is up in the air and for you this is not a comfortable reality.  Transiting Saturn in the 12^th house is squaring transiting Pluto in the 3^rd house revealing that some issues from the past need resolution thru communication and community on a conscious basis.  Venus performs her magic in the 12^th house of the past and triple trines Neptune, Chiron and Jupiter in the 4^th house of home allowing you a secluded time for social  and romantic interactions.

 SAGITTARIUS-(November 22-December 21)

This Full Moon takes place in your 6^th house of everyday work and/or health matters.  There may be some issues that have held your constant attention when it comes to your everyday work.  Changes here can seem to have an impact on your daily work.  This can also be a period of nondescript activity that leaves you constantly waiting for the other shoe to drop.  Mars is transiting your 9^th house of philosophy, legal matters, foreign affairs and higher education in order to redefine your higher aspirations. This will take the next 6 months.  Transiting Saturn in your 11^th house of goals is forming a square to transiting Pluto in your 2^nd house of personal finances intensifying your goals for personal finances during this next month.  Venus in all her beauty is trining Jupiter, Chiron and Neptune in your 3^rd house of communication and community.   Celebrations abound.    

CAPRICORN-(December 22-January 19)

This Full Moon takes place in your 5^th house of children, creativity and love affairs.  The changes in this house can be varied, however, they hold an important place in your life.  If you are dealing with creativity, this is a perfect time to reinvent yourself.  Mars in your 8^th house of partnership finances, sex, death and taxes will be performing major redefining of this house.  This means you will be looking for  new ways to make money.  Transiting Saturn is forming a square to transiting Pluto from your 10^th house of career to your 1^st house of personality making your day-to-day life an exercise in stamina.  Venus in your 10^th house seems to be showering you with abundance when it comes to money.

AQUARIUS-(January 20-February 19)

This Full Moon takes place in your 4^th house of home and core issues.  Again, we see that this fixed cross is involved with the angles of your chart intensifying the pressure.  Changes seem to come from the home and, of course, your inner core.  These changes may not be easy for you as your chart has fixed signs on all the angles.  Mars is transiting your 7^th house of partnerships asking you to redefine your partnerships enabling you to move forward in your everyday life.  Pluto in your 12^th house will ask you to delve deep into the past and transform any negative belief system to something that will serve you better at this time in your life.  Transiting Saturn is forming a square to this Pluto from the 9^th house of philosophy, legal matters, foreign affairs and higher education stretching your ability to become more aware on a daily basis.   Venus in her quest for beauty makes a glorious trine to Jupiter, Neptune and Chiron in your 1^st house of personality enabling you to look and be received as God’s gift to humanity. 

PISCES-(February 20-March 20)

This Full Moon takes place in your 3rd house of communications and community. Changes in this house seem to be part of pressures that have been plaguing you in recent times.  This is difficult because they have been a part of your everyday existence and they can deal with family dilemmas.    Mars has just entered into your 6^th house of everyday work and health issues.  This area of your life will be redefined in the next 6 months.  This is necessary in order to make the transition from Saturn in Virgo to Saturn in Libra.  Transiting Saturn is in a square to transiting Pluto in your 11^th house of goals pushing you to achieve new goals within the next month.  Venus enhances your associations with people from the past and delivers an abundance of enjoyment.

After that explosive New Moon and all of its ramifications, we are about to embark on a journey made up of the next three Eclipses.  The Full Moon Eclipse takes place at 15 degrees of Capricorn, a Cardinal sign, indicating another couple of weeks of initiation on your part.  Where the FME lands is where there will be changes in your life.  This is the exact same experience as a regular FM, only more intense, so the changes that come up are also intense.  The FME will bring in a completion or ending to some area of your chart; however, the following New Moon Eclipse will be a direct result of the actions you take at this FME.  There is an inconjunct between transiting Venus and transiting Pluto that forecasts that an adjustment has to take place in dealing with money and/or love.  The trio of chaos and confusion are in square to Mercury trying to make sense of what’s happening and not helping.  If anything, you must relinquish the actions of the world outside.  Get centered if you want some inner peace.  Another aspect of opportunity is between Uranus Mars in sextile and making the opportunity for freedom and excitement available to you.  Transiting Saturn is trining this FME at the exact degree making  all things possible.  Pluto keeps stirring up the intensity.  Most astrologers only accept the conjunction or the opposition when delineating an Eclipse.   I choose to broaden the playing field and take into account direct trines and squares.  People usually never notice the trines because they are easy and do not cause a disruption in your plans. If any of your natal planets conjunct or oppose the Eclipse point, consider the vibration of the planet making the aspect; for instance,  the Sun is  vitality, Moon is emotion or home, Mercury is communication, Venus is love or money, Mars is action, Jupiter is abundance, Saturn is responsibility, Uranus is freedom, Neptune is illusion, Pluto is transformation.

 Natal planets conjunct to a FME indicate a conclusion to some situation with the energy of the natal planets involved.  Natal planets in opposite to the FME express the resolution or solution through the energy of the natal planet in conflict.

 Natal planets in conjunction to a NME always indicate a beginning challenge with the energy of the natal planet involved.  Natal planets in opposition to the NME always indicate a conflict with the energy of the natal planet in opposition to a beginning challenge.

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 Full Moon Eclipse takes place in your 10^th house of career bringing changes and a completion to this area of your life.  There are opportunities with this FME even if you don’t see them immediately.  There will be a financial and/or emotional adjustment that you will be making during this FME; however, this is not negative.  Saturn has been redefining your 6^th house of work and health and you should start to see the results of that transit within the following 6 months.  This is all about how the world sees you and actualizing your goals.  Be mindful of the New Moon Eclipse that takes place in your 4^th house of home and core issues. 

They will be related. 

TAURUS-(April 20-May 20)

This Full Moon Eclipse takes place in your 9^th house of philosophy, legal matters, long distances and higher education bringing some conclusion to some issues of the 9^th house.  Since this is a mental house, you will definitely be communicating your thoughts and opinions with people in your immediate area and community.  Personal freedom is promising and unexpected.  Career continues to be a bit confusing but becomes clearer as time moves forward.  There may be adjustments in love and finance but nothing you can’t handle.  It also seems that love affairs bring in some well deserved stability.     

GEMINI-(May 21-June 20)

This Full Moon Eclipse takes place in your 8^th house of sex, death, taxes, partnership monies and other people’s money. Expect changes in money from others or through partnership finances.  Whatever situation that comes in with this FME will be the reason for the NME on July 22^nd.   Money seems to be on the agenda all month.   You will be forcing issues in order to find out where you really stand.  There is an opportunity for freedom in career, if you choose.   The FME trines Saturn making this FME responsibly correct.  Money, Money who’s got the Money?

 CANCER-(June 21-July 22)

This Full Moon Eclipse takes place in your 7^th house of partnerships echoing change with a take charge attitude.  These issues can be personal or for business  and you will take the initiative and run with it.  As with all Eclipses this is not such a casual change but one imbued with its own sense of passion.  You may also make adjustments to partnerships from the past or have the opportunity for a clandestine romance.  There is a certain stability that comes from this FME on a more emotional side.  You entertain serious doubts that have to do with money from others or partnerships finances, but along with that, is an opportunity for more freedom.

LEO-(July 23-August 22)

This Full Moon Eclipse takes place in your 6^th house of everyday work or health or both.  The changes that you experience will be deliberate and you will have a definite path to follow.  This is a time to make changes that you feel will help you attain your goals.  Issues behind the scenes or dealing with institutions and/or the subconscious tend to be the chewy part of this cookie.  Financially, you are feeling in control.  There are still questions and concerns about partnerships that won’t clear up for awhile.

VIRGO-(August 23-September 22)

This Full Moon Eclipse takes place in your 5^th house of children, creativity and love affairs.  Saturn is still in your 1^st house but makes a wonderful trine to this Full Moon Eclipse.  Unfortunately, it may go unnoticed because of the Eclipse.  Capricorn is a Cardinal sign so I know you will take charge and plow through while keeping your goals clearly in sight.  It seems you take a stand; especially, when it comes to children, creativity and love affairs. There are issues that deal with your work or health that are still unresolved questions.  Uranus in the 7^th house has been playing ping pong with your partnerships.  You may find some adjustment in career or career finances.

. LIBRA-(September 23-October 22)

This Full Moon Eclipse takes place in your 4^th house of home and core issues. The only safe plan is no plan.  It looks as if  home will be a hub of frenzy for awhile.  There is a take charge attitude that you decide to adopt and in this instance, it is necessary. Take into consideration that the Moon represents home and career and you may be thinking about working from home.  Whatever shape this FME takes will lead to your taking more action on the NME on July 22^nd.  Saturn in the 12^th seems to be getting rid of all the emotional baggage you have been hording as of late.  It’s important to note that you are in control.

SCORPIO-(October 24-November 22)

This Full Moon Eclipse takes place in your 3^rd house of communications, community brothers and sisters.  The spotlight is on communications and your immediate environment. There is a resolution indicated that requires you to take charge of the current situation.  Your ability to think on your feet will be a highly prized commodity.  There seems to be unanswered questions about home and core issues that you seem unable to solidify.  This FME trines Saturn by direct degree enabling you to feel comfortable with your current decisions.  Lighten up; this will be a long summer. 

SAGITTARIUS-(November 22-December 21)

This Full Moon Eclipse takes place in your 2^nd house of personal finances and values.  This indicates that you will be making a decision that has a lot to do with your personal finances and relationships.  This is an assertive change that you make in relation to the issues of this house.   The trine to Saturn in the 10^th means you are comfortable with career thoughts. There are still unanswered questions about work or health but a lot of discussion will be happening.   An intense adjustment takes place with partnership matters.

CAPRICORN-(December 22-January 19)

This Full Moon Eclipse takes place in your 1^st house of personality and appearance.  The obvious is currently how you look and how you have changed since the last FME.   The FME in the 1^st house also indicates initiating travel plans and, boy do you deserve it.  Issues that have to do with work and finances are receiving a major adjustment.  Financial issues are still up in the stratosphere but some creative footwork is about to pay off.  The trine from Saturn in the 9^th to the FME says you are comfortable with your recent conversion.

AQUARIUS-(January 20-February 19)

This Full Moon Eclipse takes place in your 12^th house of hidden matters, the subconscious and the past.  There is an indication that you will initiate some exploration of the 12^th house issues.  This has been in place for awhile and your fear needs to be released.  Your independence has been confused with control and getting to the heart of the matter is very important.   You have had some unexpected ups and downs financially but some opportunities are looming.  This has been emotionally testing and tense.  Center yourself daily if need be.

PISCES-(February 20-March 20)

This Full Moon Eclipse takes place in your 11^th house of goals and group affiliations.  You seem to take the initiative when it comes to what your heart is currently seeking.  There are some issues that conclude at this time that bring your goals directly into focus.  Look for unexpected communication to open some doors to your dilemmas that are situated in the background of your life.  There are some adjustments taking place deep in your home or core issues.   There are some great creative opportunities surfacing around you.  Keep your eyes peeled.

Aries

We salute the Spring Equinox in the Northern Hemisphere this time of year and it is all about you Aries, Happy Birthday and happy planting.  We say fair well to Pisces for now the ground has been prepared by our water sign and now we welcome in the Sun Sign Aries.  When the constellation of Aries is high in the sky, the ancients knew it was time to planet the new crops, when the sign of Aries shows itself you know the land is fertile for new seedlings. 

It is time for growing, exploring, shouting with joy and laughing it is time to rejoice and embrace new life, the gifts of new birth and new direction for us all.  All you have to do if you have the courage is rally in the energies of this rambunctious sign, and you have new, new and more new.  Aries is an early morning sign waking at dawn to meet the world and all it has to offer, you are the first sign of the zodiac.   

Under the tropical zodiac the Sun is in Aries from March 21 to April 19 the vernal equinox, and the Astrological New Year is here, hail to spring.  During this astrological new year we also embrace the energies of your ruling planet Mars.        

When you pronounce Mars you want to put the sound of “Z” at the end “MARZ”, named after the Roman God of war, and bloodshed, its not really that bad.  For you Aries the glyph symbol for Mars is a spear and shield.  Each planetary symbol is associated with particular human attributes or qualities Mars is the archetype Warrior, Hero, Leader, your key words are “I Act.”  Mars is the action planet vivid, strong, bold, signifies power and heroism, motivation and manifest leadership. 

Maybe that is why Arians have a soldier like appearance and temperament and do very well in high official positions.  Arians are leaders, independent and like to go on their own, not likely to take advice and they work well under pressure, in fact they love it.    

Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun in the Solar System and is considered the red planet because of its reddish appearance and has two moons Phobos and Deimos both small and irregularly shaped.  Mars is the action planet, it is about drive, force, strength, ambitions and love of competition, even at times domineering, and sometimes militant, “I want” and “I will get.”  

Mars is the god of war represented by Ares (Greek), Mars (Roman), Indra (Hindu), Odin (Nordic), Attis-Adonis (Asia-Minor).  No obstacle is too great and not enemy too strong, with Mars energies we can learn to act as independent and self-sufficient; Mars gives us courage, and the will to act.      

The cycle of Mars encourages development of skills; you can enhance your career, or improve you relationships.  Mars has a fairly short cycle approximately 2 ½ years, and spends about 57 days in each sign.  Which means that repeating patterns can be easily observed and used for personal benefit, just grasp the lessons Mars offers, with Aries determination.

You are a Fire Sign dear Aries as is Leo and Sagittarius and your modality is Cardinal where you convene with Capricorn, Libra, and Cancer.  Cardinal signs are considered the initiators of the Zodiac.  Let’s take a look at the energies of the fire signs first.  Fire represents the spark of life, and is the most positive of the elements.  Spontaneity and enthusiasm are just a few of your key words and your driving force once you get inspired.

The fire signs are internally motivated and have their own sense of truth.  You are radiant, glowing, warm, energetic, spontaneous, courageous, and self-confident.  All positive and very complementary, but we also have to examine the unskilled part of Aries you can be a hot-head, rash, impatient, impulsive, and a bit overwhelming for some of the other zodiac signs.

As a Cardinal Sign your energies radiate outward, spring forth just like nature during this time of year.  Setting still isn’t one of your strong points; you initiate action, start new things and get things going, you are a shaker and mover.  However, you can be a little top-heavy with personality, oh well.  Nobody is perfect and you can always flip those less than desirable traits because you are an Aries. 

Aries your home on the zodiac wheel is the first house.  Traditional the first house is associated with personality and Aries has plenty of that, I mean that in a positive way.  The astrological houses are usually described as representing areas of life, such as health, career, relationship, and so on.  They can also be interpreted as representing 12 stages of development in the life cycle of the individual, embrace it either way.

Your Zodiac Symbol is the Great horned Ram, what a magnificent animal majestic in every way, shows great courage in its demeanor.  This animal is filled with life force, telling you to go your own way, follow your inner path, and stay clear of the rut made by the narrow minded.  The Ram helps you to balance harmoniously in unstable places, because sure footed is the Ram.  This long horned Ram signifies change and new beginnings.    

Famous Arians: Charlie Chaplin, Joan Crawford, Henry James, Thomas Jefferson, David Letterman, Wayne Newton, Sarah Jessica Parker, Steven Seagal, Omar Sharif, Tennessee Williams, Vincent Van Gogh.

Hello! Fellow Star Gazers… 

If that Mercury retrograde wasn’t the worst I can remember, I don’t know one that was.  My lips are dry and parched from counseling and trying to ease everybody’s fears.  Fear is a strange emotion; it can really get you lost in the stress of your life.  We have all been hit by the fear bug along the path of life and, usually, someone you like or love lets you know when that happens.  We get so lost in the fear we can see nothing else.  We are literally lost within ourselves looking for someone or something to hold on to or to tell us we will be o.k.  I want all of you to hear this.  You can only let go of fear if you trust in something higher than yourself or if trust in the fact that you will be o.k….  The operative word is TRUST!    You will need to connect to your heart center. Most people do this by meditation and prayer.  I don’t care how you do it, just find the inner self and connect.  Find out “who” inside you is begging for your attention. When it happens to me, I know that I have usually abandoned my inner child.  I am a real jerk if I don’t get enough time for myself.  I guess that is how this retrograde really had an effect on me.  I got lost trying to help everyone else.  The things I needed to do for myself were put on hold so that I could help others deal with their crises.  Please don’t think this is the only time it will happen, because every once in a while, without fail, we get lost in fear.  It’s human nature.  So take the nails out of your hands and feet and get down off the cross.  To err is human, to forgive is Divine.  I heard that somewhere but I don’t remember where.   That’s my precept for this Full Moon. 

By the way, this Full Moon is in Aries, a Cardinal fire sign.  This screams of movement and initiation wherever it lands in your chart.  For all intents and purposes you will make some changes.  This Cardinal T square is a funnel for energy to the sign that would make this a grand Cardinal Square and that is Cancer.  Whatever house Cancer rules will be very important in terms of motivation for this Full Moon.

Another issue is Mercury will be going direct on Oct. 15^th, 2008 and will release you from any doubt that you have had in the past month.  Also, the coming New Moon will be a square to the New Moon Eclipse in August.  Many issues that have been on your mind will definitely start to find a resolution in the coming month.

Last but not least, is the Saturn opposition Uranus that will be exact on Nov. 4^th,2008.  This ushers in a time of frustration with the old and desire for the new and exciting.  Of course, this will cause another bout of anxiety but the release will feel exciting.

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

ARIES-(March 21-April 19)

This Full Moon in Aries falls in your 1^st house of personality but, more importantly, it shouts out that you will be in the driver’s seat when changes are to be made.  You may feel the urge to get on with it.  Usually, this means that you have not paid attention to what you need and are now about to do something radical.  The changes do have to be made but, surely, you don’t want to throw the baby out with the bath water.  Let’s be rational.  Be real with yourself and others. This will manifest positive events. Saturn is still in your 6^th house and it may be that you need to take action on a health matter or some other matter that you have neglected.  The Saturn opposition Uranus has to do with breaking away from the old patterns because you are unable to continue them.

TAURUS-(April 20-May 20)

This Full Moon in Aries falls in your 12^th house of the past, subconscious and preparation.   The only thing that is behind the scenes is the action you are taking.  This Aries Full Moon demands action and is part of a T square that involves the Full Moon in Aries, Jupiter in Capricorn and Sun in Libra.  Your Taurus rising urges against making changes but somewhere in your subconscious, you have found the need for this activity. The T square funnels all of its energy into the missing leg of the T square, which is Cancer.  Communication and community will be at the root of your actions.  Venus just entered your 7^th house adding a bit of joyous intensity to your partnerships.  Jupiter is adding expansion to your 9^th house of foreign affairs and travels and still trining your Saturn in the 5^th of love affairs and creativity.  Mercury retrograde in your 6^th house reviews the issues of this last month and makes adjustments.  Mercury goes direct on October 15^th, 2008. 

GEMINI-(May 21-June 20)

This Full Moon lands in your 11^th house of hopes, wishes and goals.  This Cardinal Square is predominately an action driven aspect.  The changes will take place in your 11^th house but you will primarily be activating a deliberate plan.  Jupiter is also active in this Cardinal square throwing caution to the wind when it comes to money.  Mercury retrograde in your 5^th house is reviewing the issues of this last month and goes direct on October 15^th, 2008 with new incentives for love affairs, children and creativity. The Saturn Uranus opposition will be very important and personal for you if you have any planets in Gemini at 18- 25 degrees.  This is a explosive release from the past.

CANCER-(June 21-July 22) 

This Full Moon takes place in your 10^th house of career telling us that changes are being called for in relation to career matters.  You may be asking, “What else can I do?” or “I need to find something that engages with me more personally.”  I would say that you are somehow going to take action on some issue that involves career.  This Cardinal Square sends its energy directly to the 1^st house of “I am going to get what I want.”   You are feeling that it is now or never.   This Mercury retrograde will be over as of October 15^th, 2008 reviewing issues of your 4^th house of home and core issues.  You will have a new direction.  The coming Saturn Uranus opposition will involve the 3^rd house of communications and community and the 9^th house of legal matters, foreign affairs, education and philosophy.  This is a letting go of old thoughts and thought patterns.

LEO-(July 23-August 22)

This Full Moon takes place in your 9^th house of legal matters, foreign affairs, philosophy and education.   The Cardinal T square involves the 9^th house, 3^rd house and 6^th house. The empty house is Cancer and this is where all the energy will be going.  You are thinking about making some changes but how to make it work for you is the question.  You will try to make peace with the past by exercising your new ideas.  This Full Moon happens to trine your ascendant so I know this will be to your liking.  The Mercury retrograde will be turning direct on October 15, 2008 and communications and community will run a lot smoother.  The coming Saturn Uranus opposition will involve your personal finances and other people’s money.   This will be important.

VIRGO-(August 23-September 22)

This Full Moon in Aries takes place in your 8^th house of sex, death and taxes.  The action takes place here but it is directed in the area of career.  Money seems to change; however, this is the vibration you did not want.  The Cardinal T square involves Jupiter, the Libra Sun and the Aries Full Moon.  All of the energy is then funneled into your 11^th house of goals, the empty leg of the T square.  This Mercury retrograde has taken place in your 2^nd house of personal finance and love.  The direct movement of Mercury on October 15, 2008 places you in another personal financial situation.  In November we will have a Saturn opposition Uranus.  This will be personal to you as it will deal with partnerships and open enemies. 

LIBRA-(September 23-October 22)

This Full Moon in Aries takes place in your 7^th house of partnerships and open enemies.  The changes that we experience are actions we need to address in order to feel better and seem to put a lot of focus on the 10^th house or career.  The Cardinal T Square configuration of the Full Moon in Aries, Jupiter in Capricorn and Sun in Libra focuses its energy on the missing leg of the T square.  The missing leg is Cancer, your 10^th house of career.  Your decisions will be based on career matters.  Mercury will be direct as of Oct. 15^th, 2008 and new directions will occupy your thoughts.  The coming Saturn Uranus opposition will fall in your 12^th house, behind the scenes, and oppose your Uranus in the 6^th house of work and health.  Watch for changes in work.

SCORPIO-(October 24-November 22)

This Full Moon in Aries takes place in your 6^th house of work and health.  It gives us an additional clue by the aspect that it makes in the chart.  The Full Moon in Aries forms a T square with Jupiter in Capricorn and the Sun in Libra.  This is potent and you will be taking action.  The leg of this T square that is open is the Cancer leg which rules your 9^th house of philosophy, legal matters, education and foreign affairs.  Matters that deal with this house will be the motivation for your Full Moon decisions.  Mercury retrograde will be over by October 15^th, 2008 and you will be able to resume your decisions of the recent past.  The retrograde has taken place in your 12^th house of past, preparations and institutions.  The Saturn Uranus opposition will involve the 11^th house of goals and the 5^th house of children, creativity and love affairs.  The goals of the past fall away and are replaced with new directions.

SAGITTARIUS-(November 22-December 21)

This Full Moon in Aries takes place in your 5^th house of children, creativity and love affairs.  The important aspect of this Full Moon is the Cardinal T square of the Full Moon in Aries, Jupiter in Capricorn and Sun in Libra.  This tells me that the empty leg of this aspect is Cancer, ruler of the 8^th house.  There will be decisions made that deal with 5^th house matters but the motivation will be partnership finances or other people’s money.

AQUARIUS-(January 20-February 19)

This Full Moon in Aries takes place in your 3^rd house of communications, community, brothers and sisters.  This is very action orientated and changes will take place.  This is a mental house so how bad can it be?  It does form a Cardinal T square with Jupiter in Capricorn and Sun in Libra.  The empty leg of the T square is Cancer, your 6^th house of work and health, supplying the motivation for your changes.  The Mercury retrograde will be turning direct on October 15^th, 2008 resuming issues that deal with 9^th house matters.  The Saturn Uranus opposition will take place in your 8^th house of partnership finances and other people’s money and your own personal finances.  This will be important and usher in more freedom that you will appreciate. 

PISCES-(February 20-March 20)

It is part of a Cardinal T square that involves Jupiter in Capricorn and the Sun in Libra.  The empty leg of this T square is Cancer which rules your 5^th house of children, creativity and love affairs.  The motivation for your changes comes from the 5^th house.  Mercury will be going direct on October 15^th, 2008 in your 8^th house of partnership finances and other people’s money resuming your discussions over money.  The Saturn Uranus opposition that will be coming takes place in your 7^th house of partnerships and 1^st house of self. You may find this a little testy.
