Astrology by Mary MacLean

Let’s talk about the Full Moon at 6 degrees of Sagittarius…..If you have any planets that are at 6 degrees of Virgo, Gemini, or Pisces you will be busy.  This is a point when decisions you have made in the past come home to roost.  You may be repeating what ever you were doing in October of 2009.  This is all about change and moving forward.  You may feel like you are walking in mud 2 ft. deep. This is the way of all planets going direct or retrograde.  Saturn is turning direct and you will be on the path of your choosing. Decisions you have made in December of 2009, January of 2010 and February of 2010 will now start to move forward.  In the process Saturn is opposing Uranus and Jupiter, ending some matters and offering hope for new avenues to follow. 

Mars is going to oppose Neptune on the 3^rd of June which is classic for no self confidence.  Be aware.  Mars opposes Chiron in Pisces after opposing Neptune adding nothing to your confidence level.  This seems to represent struggles that are more internal than external. 

You will find that your comfort level and the fear of change is what are keeping you from taking any new risks.  Once you are ready to accept any challenges that come with the choices your making the decisions will be easy.  This is a mutable T-square that shows you where changes need to be made.  Should I or shouldn’t I, that is the question.

Check the aspects that this Full Moon makes in your Natal chart to reveal where the solutions lay.

Well folks, this has been an intense couple of weeks.  Saturn has been in opposition to Uranus and Jupiter…This is a time of endings for all of us but I think the hardest part of all of this is the waiting.  Saturn is a delayer and he slows down to turn direct, so just like Mars and Mercury you feel like you are waiting for water to boil and it never does.  Saturn is turning direct on May 30, 2010 and the house that holds Saturn by transit will be affected. (Virgo)  In Astrology time it is actually October 1, 2009 and situations from that period are back and now about to move forward.  So think back to Oct.1, 2009, what was your main focus?   Take a look at where transiting Saturn is in your natal chart.  That is the area of your life that has been under redefinition for the last 2 ½ years.  That’s the cycle that is ending.  The Uranus Jupiter conjunction is well on its way and at this time it is in opposition to that transiting Saturn.  You know its coming but you are anxious about what is next.  You may have experienced emotional outbreaks or situations that you are not able to resolve at the moment.  The magic word is SURRENDER.

Mercury is direct and in Taurus a stabilizing force if you have any planets in Capricorn, or Virgo.  Just a note:  if you are missing any one of the groups of planets in a certain element.  (Earth, Air, Water, Fire) For instance; you may not have any earth planets.

You will over-compensate for whatever element is missing.  No earth planets will give the illusion of a person with an over-abundance of earth planets.  You will notice the practical, structured, organized and meticulous parts of his or her personality stand out.   

 Venus is at 9 degrees of Cancer just passing an opposition to Pluto on May 23, 2010.  Venus has always had a way of dramatizing everything when ever it contacts Pluto.  

Jupiter is at 27 degrees of Pisces in exact opposition to Saturn from the 18^th thru the 24^th of May and you may feel like there are some limitations and/or obligations you need to attend to.  Jupiter is also on its way to conjunct Uranus on June 6^th, 2010.  This will be close to the Saturn opposition but far enough away to not have a strong effect.  This is expansion personified when it conjuncts Uranus.  This takes place in Aries and you should take note of where Aries is in you chart.  This is where the expansion is taking place.  It enables you take some risks that pay off down the road, lets say in Jan…of 2011. 

Uranus stays at 0 degrees of Aries until July 5, 2010 then goes retrograde to 26 degrees of Pisces and goes direct on December 6^th 2010 to resolve issues that are evolving now.  

Jupiter goes into Aries on June 6^th and goes retrograde on July 23, 2010 at 3 degrees.  This retrograde period will last until November 18, 2010 and it will return to 23 degrees of Pisces.   This will also resolve issues that started at the end of April, 2010. 

Mars is going to enter Virgo on June 7^th 2010 and starts to take a pragmatic look at what is going on around us.  As Mars enters Virgo you start to make plans and if you have any planets in Virgo this will be some very important new beginnings.  This will solidify what you have been going thru and hoping for the last 2 ½ years.

Pluto is currently at 4 degrees of Capricorn and retrogrades until September 14, 2010, when it will go forward from 2 degrees of Capricorn.   If you have any planets in Capricorn or Cancer, Libra or Aries, from 2 degrees until 5 degrees, there will be a lot of changes in your life.  Pluto transforms something that is not working to something that is new and will work better for you. Check the position of Capricorn in your natal chart as that is the house that is being transformed.

This is an interesting Full Moon as it involves many cycles.  The FM itself is in opposition to the Sun (naturally) but also isin an inferior conjunction to Mercury.   The inferior conjunction of the Sun and Mercury involves the cycle of the retrograde Mercury.  This is when certain insights come to light.  Along with the FM being a conclusion to some issues, the Mercury conjunction to the Sun offers a new insight. 

The FM takes place in a certain house in your personal chart.  The house harboring the FM is where the life is affected or changes take place.  For each of you the house will be different as it depends on your exact time of date and time of birth and place of birth. 

I saw that Mars is at 11 degrees of Leo in square to the Moon and Sun issues, forming a Fixed T- square.  If you have planets in early Aquarius it becomes a Grand Fixed Cross.  The only advice I can give you is surrender……as soon as possible.  Control becomes an issue.  If you haven’t noticed the stress level for all of us has been accentuated.  In some area of our lives we may feel like we have lost control.  We know there is no control but somehow we shield ourselves from that overwhelming feeling.  Not so now. There are areas that are blaring “You have no control “. There are those of us that deal well with this feeling but I do not excel in this area.  The Mercury retrograde is somewhat to blame but unfortunately life is serving a larger part of this pie.  

The transiting Saturn and Uranus opposition does tend to put us in awkward positions but it also lessens the load.  This is something to think about when this opposition hits.  Saturn is in the last degrees of Virgo and Uranus is in the last degrees of Pisces.  This situation has been here before in September of 09, so it won’t be a stranger when it hits.  I feel like it has been slowly approaching and creating a certain amount of stress also.  Each of us will experience this at a different time according to the moon trigger, but it will be some time around the FM.

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.

  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)

This Full Moon takes place in your 8^th house of partnership finances, sex, death and taxes.  Other people’s money, such as, mortgages, insurance and partnership resources, will sustain some changes during this Full Moon. 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.

As we look at the beginning of June, it is safe to say that Mercury, Saturn, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Uranus are all direct.   Neptune and Pluto are retrograde and Jupiter is expected to follow on June 15^th, 2009.   This is a perfect time to start whatever has been pending or whatever you want to begin.  This is a window of time where most of the planets are direct.  Jupiter, Chiron and Neptune are still causing most of the ambient noise and distractions but your path forward starts to open.  Jupiter retrograde continues its association with Chiron and Neptune and continues keeping certain issues still nagging at you throughout this conjunction period.  This unknowing stays with us well into February 0f 2010.  Our only saving grace is that Jupiter will release its grip on this conjunction around July 23rd, 2009.   All of these planets have been in square to retrograde Mercury and are still in square to Mercury direct even thru this FM.  At this point in everyone’s life there are issues that cannot be concluded and that you feel are totally out of your control. These issues will continue to be unresolved for a time but we must try to accept the status quo and live within the boundaries we have set up for ourselves.   If you have other means of enduring the unknown energize them.  Enough about unknowns, let’s get into the known.

This Full Moon contains a Mutable T square with the Moon at 17 degrees of Sag, Saturn at 15degrees of Virgo and the Sun at 17degrees of Gemini.  The energy from this T- square empties into the house that holds 17 degrees of Pisces.  So take your chart in hand and locate the house that holds the FM, as this is where the changes will take place;  however, the focus will be from the house that holds 17 degrees of Pisces.   We continue to experience the trio of unknowns looming over our heads like grey rain clouds and, of course, still in square to Mercury giving us plenty to talk about.  On the brighter side there is a trine aspect from Mars and Venus to Pluto that gives us something to feel good about.  

Below you will find the explanation of this New Moon in your chart.  Please read your rising sign as it will be more accurate to you personally.

ARIES-(March 21-April 19)

This Full Moon takes place in your 9^th house of philosophy, higher education, foreign affairs and legal matters.  This FM is in a Mutable T-square to Saturn at 15 degrees in your 6^th house of everyday work and health and the Sun at 17 degrees of Gemini, in your 3^rd house of communications and community.  This setup portends to change.  If you follow the energy of the T-square, you will find it they lead you to the 12^th house of institutions and behind- the-scenes activity.  Think of subconscious issues that you may be battling on a philosophical level. The trios of unknowns are still hovering but you are learning to live with it. Uranus is in good aspect to Mercury opening the doors to unexpected communications.  Venus and Mars are in trine to Pluto in the 10^th house promising the potential for love and money. 

TAURUS-(April 20-May 20)

This Full Moon takes place in your 8^th house of partnership finances and other people’s money.  It forms a mutable T-square to the current transiting Saturn in your 5^th house of children and creativity and the Sun in your 2^nd house of values and love. (Changes) The most important note is that all of the energy of this T-square empties out into your 11^th house of goals.  Think changes in financial goals.  Mars and Venus are in your 1^st house amplifying your charisma by trining Pluto in the 9^th house.  There is a great aspect between Uranus and Mercury making communications a reliable resource.  There are still dark clouds in the career area of your chart but resist the urge to dwell on the unknown.

 GEMINI-(May 21-June 20)

This Full Moon takes place in your 7^th house of partnerships (business or personal).  The FM forms a Mutable T-square to Saturn in the 4^th  house of home and core issues and the Sun in your 1^st house of personality.  Because of the placement of the Sun, Saturn, and the FM in angular houses, these changes will be on a personal level.  The outlet for this energy is the 10^th house of career. There are major changes taking place in partnerships and dealing with the public, all due to career objectives.  You are a major player in this life drama.  Some matters are still in worry-mode but communication has opened the door to emotional negotiations.   Venus and Mars are in your 12^th house- of-behind the scenes activity giving new life to your 8^th house of sex, death and taxes.

 CANCER-(June 21-July 22)

This Full Moon takes place in your 6^th house of everyday work and health.  It forms a T-square that includes your Saturn in the 3^rd house and the Sun transiting the 12^th house.  The energy from these planets empty into your 9^th house of philosophy, legal matters, foreign affairs and higher education promising changes that revolve around 9^th house matters.  Interestingly enough, these changes take place in your everyday work or health area.  Other people’s money and partnership funds still hold the planetary trio of financial chaos and invite you to worry.  Communications lead to unexpected realizations when it comes to your goals.  Venus and Mars are holding court in your 11^th house of goals cooking up some pleasant surprises. 

LEO-(July 23-August 22)

This Full Moon takes place in your 5^th house of creativity, children and love affairs.  It also forms a Mutable T-square to Saturn in your 2^nd house of values and the Sun in your 11^th house of goals.  The energy from this T-square empties into the 8^th house of partnership finances, other people’s money, sex, death and taxes.  This will be the area that requires the most attention and will express the FM in your 5^th house.   Think of your money needs.  Partnership issues are still in a state of confusion and the resolutions are not forthcoming yet.  Venus and Mars are in excellent aspect to Pluto in your 6^th house providing praise and applause.  Communications are at a high and unexpected developments arise spontaneously.

 VIRGO-(August 23-September 22)

This Full Moon takes place in your 4^th house of home and core issues.  It forms a Mutable T-square to transiting Saturn in the 1^st house of personality and the Sun in the 10^th house of career. This combination releases all of its energy into the 7^th house of partnerships.  Think changes in the home due to partnerships.  (Business or personal)  This is important as these are angular houses and changes that take place in theses houses are always of a personal nature.  The ungainly trio of chaos still looms in your 6^th house of everyday work and health.  Saturn in your 1^st house is going direct completing issues that you have been trying to attain for the last 9 months.  Venus and Mars in your 9^th house are trining your transiting Pluto in the 5^th house of children, creativity and love affairs.  There are good times on your agenda. 

LIBRA-(September 23-October 22)

This Full Moon takes place in your 9^th house of philosophy, higher education, foreign affairs and legal matters.  The most important thing to acknowledge in this set up is that the planets involved in this Mutable T-square are primarily mental houses and secondly, tertiary houses. This tells me that these changes of the current FM involve you on a personal level; however, think of these as changes due to revamped priorities or ideas.  This is a time to get rid of all the old emotional baggage that we take with us on our continuing journey through life.  The changes that take place in the 3^rd house have to do with communications and your current work and living environment.  Think changes in your neighborhood or in the work place.  Children, creative endeavors and romance still have some unresolved issues that need to be explored.  Try to look ahead without letting go of the moment.

 SCORPIO-(October 24-November 22)

This Full Moon takes place in your 2^nd house of personal values, personal finances and love.  There is a basic change that takes place deep inside you on your level of values.  This Mutable T-square involves the 2^nd house of values, the 11^th house of goals, and the 8^th house of partnership finances, etc. etc.  The energy of these three houses empties into the 5^th house of children, creativity and love affairs.  You may be thinking that you are not being appreciated or not respected by children or the people closest to you.  This can be a hurtful thing to deal with and find a sense of peace.  You may be spending money on children or close relationships. The best option yet is that you are in Vegas spending lots of money and having a ball.  All three are possible. You get to pick.  Some home issues are still looming in a dark cloud overshadowing your mental Vegas escape.  Venus and Mars are sending you complimentary and interesting communications.

SAGITTARIUS-(November 22-December 21)

This Full Moon takes place in your 1^st house of personality and how people see you.  This is also the area to look for any kind of travel and movement personal to you.  Since this FM takes place in the 1^st house, you are guaranteed a lot of movement.  The Mutable T-square involves the 1^st house, the 10^th house of career and the 7^th house of partnership (Business or personal).  The energy from these planets all empty into the 4^th house of home making  the 4^th house a focal point in this FM.  You may very well be traveling because of home or deeper issues of the 4^th house.  These changes carry some benefits for you.  Communications with children and/or lovers tend to hide some issues that need to be seen in the light of day.  Mars and Venus in your 6^th house of everyday work and health seem to be showering you with accolades and financial appreciation.

 CAPRICORN-(December 22-January 19)

This Full Moon takes place in your 12^th house of hidden matters, the subconscious, the past.  The Mutable T-square involves Saturn in the 9^th house of legal matters, higher education, foreign affairs and philosophy and the 6^th house of everyday work and health and, of course, the FM in the 12^th house.  This is a lot of energy but I feel that it is ethereal energy.  What I mean by that is that it seem s to all take place on a mental or emotional plane.  The changes take place in the background of your life, or subconscious and focus on family members or communications.  Just the fact that Saturn squares the Moon during this FM makes me uncomfortable. Issues that deal with children and love affairs are pleasantly laid in your lap.  Financial issues are still hovering and causing some background anxiety. 

AQUARIUS-(January 20-February 19)

This Full Moon takes place in your 11^th house of goals.  The Mutable T-square  of Saturn in the 8^th house of partnership funds, the Sun in your 5^th house of children, creativity and love affairs and the FM in the 11^th house combine their energy and direct it to the unoccupied 2^nd house of personal finances and values.  Your personal finances hold the key to a change in your goals.  New developments cause you to change direction.  There are some goals that you have been working on for awhile that have been slow to show up on the positive side of life’s ledger or garner any financial sympathy.  Things will be changing, as will your attitude.  You are in a funk and don’t know how to escape.  You are talking a lot about the future but there are many questions that go unanswered.  Venus and Mars provide you with some respite from the outside world.

PISCES-(February 20-March 20)

This Full Moon takes place in your 10^th house of career.  The Mutable T-square involved in this FM brings changes to your 10^th house because that is where the FM takes place, but in reality, it produces some movement on a personal level also.  Saturn in the 7^th house of partnerships puts the focus on you and your personality.  You may feel as if you are receiving more attention than you have had in the past and you are right.  This is all about you, your career and the choices you have made in the last two years.  Communications bring some desired focus on your goals and offer interesting pathways to travel.  Expect the unexpected and run with it.   The cosmic trio secluded in your 12^th house constantly reminds you of the looming unanswered questions.  Life is good and you will survive.

I am looking outside and the thermometer reads 40 degrees.  Is it possible that this is summer?  I will not be able to plant my tomatoes until it is at least 50 degrees in the evening consistently.  I do love my home grown tomatoes.   Umm-mm

I am looking at this Full Moon as something that brings about change.    If you look back at the Eclipse of Feb. 9^th, 2009, the Full Moon Eclipse was at 20 degrees of Leo.   Where does this point fall in your chart?  This area was a major concern at that time.  Each house has a multitude of areas that it governs.   As a Libra rising, it landed in my 11^th house of goals and, if I remember correctly, I was very concerned about the direction of my web site.  I am sure that the listing below will help you determine where the challenges were for you in February.  This last month brought the beginnings of your current Eclipse turning point.  The majestic aspects that come with this Full Moon are all about deep change.  If you look back at February 2009, the FM Eclipse took place in Leo at 20 degrees.  The following list is to help you remember what was challenging you at the time.  This is the area of your life where the Full Moon Eclipse took place.

 Aries, Leo is in your 5^th house of children, creativity, love affairs

Taurus, Leo is in your 4^th house of home, inner self

Gemini, Leo is in your 3^rd house of communications and community

Cancer, Leo is in your 2^nd house of personal finances and values

Leo is your ascendant or 1^st house of self, self promotion, personality

Virgo, Leo is in your 12^th house of the past, institutions, the subconscious

Libra, Leo is in your 11^th house of your goals and friends

Scorpio, Leo is in your 10^th house of career

Sagittarius, Leo is in your 9^th house of legal matters, publishing and foreign affairs

Capricorn, Leo is in your 8^th house of partnership finances, other people’s money

Aquarius, Leo is in your 7^th house of partnerships, either business or personal

Pisces, Leo is in your 6^th   house of everyday work or health.

I am listing these rising signs and where Leo landed in your chart at the February 9^th Eclipse.  This is only correct if you have no interceptions in your chart.  If you do have interceptions, you will have to adjust the house position.  I want to jog your memory and bring the essence of that February 9^th into your consciousness for a bit of show and tell.

Now that you know what you were thinking and worrying about then, you can see the natural progression that has been achieved since then.  This Full Moon is at 18 degrees of Scorpio in opposition to the Sun culminating issues from the last 3 weeks and energizing the square aspect it makes to last February’s Eclipse point of 20 degrees of Leo.  The other aspects in this Full Moon chart are direct squares to Jupiter, Chiron, and Neptune from the Full Moon completing a Grand Fixed T square. This in itself promises to be a life changer.  Adding to this is a trine from the Sun to Saturn promising added stability and the Full Moon in trine to Uranus bringing about unexpected realizations.  This scenario seems to indicate a stepping stone in personal evolution.  

I know you have read Catherine Schultz’s articles and love them as much as I do.  This week she has an article on the Mercury retrograde that informs and entertains.  She is technically correct in her summation of the Mercury retrograde and is able to accomplish this with a distinct ability to carry us off on her personal astrological adventure.  

Speaking of the Mercury retrograde that seems to be happening on May 7^th, 2009….  Just a note…in and around May 7^th, you will notice things seem to go awry.  Mainly, you will need more information before you are allowed to complete some issues.

I will leave the Mercury retrograde for Catherine to explain to you.

Her article is just below mine.

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

If you have intercepted signs, you will need to check it more closely and make adjustments.

TAURUS-(April 20-May 20)

This Full Moon takes place in your 7^th house of partnerships, business or personal.  The object of the last 4 months has been the dealing with issues that grew out of concern for your home.  I say home but it can also mean the constancy of your inner core and how you deal with changes therein.  You are currently dealing with partnership issues but, at the same time, you may find that changes are taking place in the major areas of your life.   Consider this Full Moon to bring change to your home, career, partnership and perception of your self.   As these changes take place, you will find yourself in transition on many levels-physical, emotional, and intellectual.

This Full Moon takes place in your 6^th house of everyday work and health.   The original FM Eclipse of February took place in your 3^rd house of communication, community and brothers and sisters.  You have been dealing with these issues for awhile.  This Full Moon in Scorpio forms a Fixed Tsquare to Jupiter, Chiron and Neptune in the 9^th house and indicates strong movement in this area of your life.  The 9^th house rules law, higher education, foreign affairs, publishing and philosophy.   Any one of these areas will be highly energized forcing you to make or break partnership ties.  This can take place more on an intellectual level than on a physical level.  The Sun in trine to Saturn in the 4^th opens new doors of stability in your current consciousness.  The Moon in trine to Uranus in the 10^th offers unexpected opportunities in terms of career.  Mercury goes retrograde in your 1^st house indicating that there is more research to do before you are ready to jump into anything new.

This Full Moon takes place in your 4^th house of home and core issues completing an opposition to the sun in the 10^th house of career and standing in the community.  The previous FM Eclipse took place in your 1^st house of personality and how you appear to the outside world.  You are now seeing a distinct difference in how people see and experience you.  This Full Moon is in a Fixed Grand Cross with the February Eclipse point and changes a lot of aspects of your life.  This is different and it could all be just attitude but I think not.  This Full Moon forms a trine to Uranus in the 8^th house of partnership finances or other people’s money increasing opportunities for financial gain.  This is a plus for you financially. The Sun forms a trine aspect to Saturn in the 2^nd house of personal finances stabilizing this area of your life.  Mercury goes retrograde in your 11^th house of goals asking you to double check your current goals.

 VIRGO-(August 23-September 22)

This Full Moon takes place in your 3^rd house of community and communications bringing certain issues that began 3 weeks ago to a completion.  Negotiations seem to have taken a major role in the last 4 months as the FM Eclipse of Feb. 9^th  took place in your 12^th house of behind-the-scenes activity setting some behind-the-scenes challenges.   With this Full Moon taking place in your 3^rd house contracts and communication have reached a new point of understanding.  The Sun in the 9^th house trines Saturn in the 1^st letting you know that stability is not lost.  This Full Moon is in trine to Uranus in the 7^th indicating unexpected but possible new partnerships.  Mercury will be going retrograde in your 10^th delaying some career opportunities until later.

Seasons Greetings! 

Hello to my fellow Celebrators!

I have an undeniable feeling of exuberance for this Holiday Season.  I feel good about President Elect Obama and the exactness of his attitude along with his choices for the Cabinet.  I feel that we are at the beginning of a new chapter for the United States, maybe even a new book.  I am sure that many things will change and that for some of us, the changes may be somewhat difficult.  Nothing substantial can be built in a short time so I expect this to be a lengthy process.  My only wish is that people can withstand this transition without too much worry. (There goes my pie in the sky wishes.) Meanwhile, we are all preparing for the Holiday Season.  My house is starting to look like a house in Santa’s Village.  My children are grown and gone but I continue to decorate as if they were 6 years old and running though the house.  My granddaughters, Cassandra and Isabella, are the recipients of my most cherished childhood memories of Christmas. Their eyes are always as big as saucers when they first see the Christmas tree with presents beautifully wrapped and bowed.  What a surprise they are going to get this year as I put everything in a separate boxes and it resembles a mountain of wrapped joy.  They are not expensive gifts but they are the kind of things that inspire creativity.  I found some paper clay.  Yes! That’s right, I said “paper clay.”  This clay can be manipulated in many ways and solidifies when it dries.  It can be painted or not.  I am tempted to buy some  for myself. I also found some Terra Cotta clay that can be manipulated and dried and some Erasable Crayola colored pencils. The list goes on and on.   Now, let’s look at this month’s Full Moon and planetary information. 

This Full Moon is at 21 degrees of Gemini on the 12^th of December.  One of my students has the task of configuring all the aspects of the Full Moon and she is doing a great job. She informed me of the Mutable Grand Cross that we will examine in the individual rising signs.  This Full Moon forecasts changes and, depending on the house it falls in, will determine the area of our lives where it will be experienced.  Besides the Mutable Grand Cross, Saturn turns retrograde on December 31^st, 2008 setting us on a course to internalize the events of the last 4 months.  Mars transits thru Capricorn later on in the month and makes an important conjunction to transiting Pluto on December 29^th, 2008 initiating some strong actions on your behalf.   Jupiter is in its final degrees of Capricorn until January 6^th, 2009.  Uranus is now direct and showing some results of its stay at 18 degrees of Pisces.  Uranus is part of the Mutable Grand Cross, as is Saturn, the Full Moon, Uranus and Mars. My take on this is that some unexpected changes take place depending on where they fall in your personal chart. 

You will notice that I am using some new terms in my forecasts this time.  They are: Primary, Secondary and Tertiary houses.  These are the names given to the three houses in each quadrant of the chart.  They denote an order in how each house will react in situations.  Primary is the 1^st, 4^th, 7^th and 10^th houses and aspects should be considered very personal.  Secondary is the 2^nd, 5^th , 8^th and 11^th houses and denote aspects that involve another person or persons.  Tertiary is the 3^rd , 6^th , 9^th, 12^th houses that involve aspects with the general public.  I Hope this is helpful. 

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

ARIES-(March 21-April 19)

This Full Moon takes place in your 3^rd house of communications and community and is in opposition to Sun and Mars in the 9^th house of legal matters and philosophy.  Uranus in the 12^th house of the past and opposes Saturn in the 6^th house of work and health and completes the Mutable Grand Cross.  These are all Tertiary houses for you and are not of a personal nature. It seems that you may hear something very unexpected from the past or behind the scenes that may involve work or responsibility and travel or education.  These are a lot of ifs but there are 4 planets involved that represent 4 different areas of your life.  There are trines radiating from two points in this setup that confirms that this is a positive and necessary move.  Saturn is still trining Jupiter exerting the idea that this is a great time for partnership.

TAURUS-(April 20-May 20)

This Full Moon takes place in your 2^nd house of personal finance and values in opposition to the Sun and Mars in your 8^th house of partnership resources.  Uranus in the 11^th of goals is in opposition to Saturn in the 5^th house of children and creativity and complete the Mutable Grand Cross. There seem to be some unexpected expenditures that you need to be accountable for incurring. The possibilities include children and recreation and offer a bit of freedom from the ordinary.  The two trines that come off of these aspects indicate that partnerships are at a plus for you as are career opportunities.  These all take place in Secondary houses and involve another.

GEMINI-(May 21-June 20)

This Full Moon takes place in your 1^st house of personality in opposition to Mars and the Sun in the 7^th of partnerships.  Uranus in the 10^th of career and in opposition Saturn in the 4^th of home and core issues completes this Mutable Grand Cross.   These aspects lands in  Primary houses and should be considered personal issues for you.  I also think that because the Full Moon takes place in the 1^st house, it can be a change in how you look, or how people see you.  One thing is certain and that is that you will not be static.  Saturn in the 4^th trine Jupiter in the 8^th indicates an ease in partnership finances. 

 CANCER-(June 21-July 22) 

This Full Moon takes place in your 12th house of personality in opposition to Mars and the Sun in the 6th of work and health.  Uranus in the 9th house of legal matters and in opposition to Saturn in the 3rd of communications completes the Mutable Grand Cross.  These are all Tertiary houses and denote aspects will happen with more than one person.  Because of the 12th house connotation, this could be something from the past that reappears unexpectedly or an institutional concern. The trines off of these squares are good for partnerships and finances.

LEO-(July 23-August 22)

This Full Moon takes place in your 11^th house of goals, hopes and wishes and is in opposition to the Sun and Mars in the 5^th house of children and creativity.  Uranus in the 8^th of partnership finances and in opposition to Saturn in the 2^nd of personal finances completes a Mutable Grand Cross.  Some unexpected twists and turns may come about in how you are handling your financial goals. The trine off of Saturn indicates a new work alliance. These are all Secondary houses and indicate an involvement with another person.

VIRGO-September-(August 23 22)

This Full Moon takes place in your 10^th house of career in opposition to Mars and the Sun in the 4^th house of home and core issues. Uranus in the 7^th house of partnerships and in opposition to Saturn in the 1^st house of personality completes this Mutable Grand Cross.   These are Primary houses and are personal to you and you alone.  Changes in career seem to be the basis for this month Full Moon.  These changes can be unexpected but I believe they will be of benefit because of the trine from Saturn to Jupiter.  A change in direction is indicated.

LIBRA-(September 23-October 22)

This Full Moon takes place in your 9^th house of legal matters in opposition to Sun and Mars in your 3^rd house of communications and community. Uranus in the 6^th house and in opposition to Saturn in the 12^th complete this Mutable Grand Cross.  These are Tertiary houses.  9^th houses matters involve many possibilities, for example, philosophy, higher education, foreign affairs, writing and long distance traveling.  One of these is the basis for the upcoming changes.  Adding to that is the Saturn in 12^th in trine to Jupiter in the 4^th and you have some pleasant times to prepare for.

SCORPIO-(October 24-November 22)

This Full Moon takes place in your 8^th house of partnership finances in opposition to Mars and Sun in the 2^nd house of personal finances. Uranus in the 5^th of children and creativity and in opposition to Saturn in the 11^th of goals hopes and wishes completes a Mutable Grand Cross.    This aspect takes place in Secondary houses and involves one other person.   There may be changes in finances that come in very unexpectedly but end up very positive for you.  The trine from Saturn in the 11^th to Jupiter in the 3^rd is great for short distant trips.

SAGITTARIUS-(November 22-December 21)

This Full Moon takes place in your 7^th house of partnerships in opposition to the Sun and Mars in the 1^st house of personality.  Uranus in the 4^th house of home and core issues and in opposition to Saturn in the 10^th house of career completes the Mutable Grand Cross.  It seems that partnership issues are important and seem to have some unexpected changes.  These may be career based but also indicate an opportunity for financial gain.  Since these are Primary houses, this indicates changes that will be personal to you.

CAPRICORN-(December 22-January 19)

This Full Moon takes place in your 6^th house of everyday work or health in opposition to the Sun and Mars in the 12^th house.  Uranus in the 3^rd house of communication and in opposition to Saturn in the 9^th house of legal matters completes a   Mutable Grand Cross.   This aspect takes place in Tertiary houses.  Changes in work or health matters seem to dominate this Full Moon.  Saturn in the 9^th in trine to Jupiter in the 1^st is a great indicator of travel. There will be a certain amount of spontaneity that comes in with the Full Moon because of Uranus.  Not a whole lot of planning going on.

AQUARIUS-(January 20-February 19)

This Full Moon takes place in your 5^th house of children and creativity in direct opposition to the Sun and Mars in the 11^th house of goals. Uranus in the 2^nd house of personal finance is in opposition to Saturn in the 8^th house of partnership finances. Mutable Grand Cross takes place in Secondary houses and involves you and one other person.  Saturn in the 8^th that trines Jupiter in the 12^th and finances appear from something from the past

PISCES-(February 20-March 20)

This Full Moon takes place in your 4^th house of home and core issues in opposition to Mars and the Sun in the 10^th house of career. Uranus is in the 1^st house of personality and in opposition Saturn in the 7^th house of partnerships.  This completes a Mutable Grand Cross and takes place in Primary houses suggesting that everything that happens takes place for you personally.  Saturn in the 7^th in trine to Jupiter in the 11^th indicates some goals have been reached or are about to be completed. 

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.

Mercury will be going direct in your 11^th house allowing you to resume some issues that had to do with your goals.  Mercury will be direct on October 15, 2008.   The coming Saturn Uranus opposition will present a crisis in your 10^th house of career and 4^th house of home and core issues.

CAPRICORN-(December 22-January 19)

The Full Moon in Aries lands in your 4^th house of home and core issues.  This month the emphasis is on changes that you initiate.  Because of the Cardinal T square that is formed by this Full Moon, the motivation for your actions will be found in the empty leg of the T square.  The empty leg of this T square is Cancer and rules the 7^th house of partnerships and open enemies.  Partnerships will be the motivation for your changes.  The Mercury retrograde will be over on October 15, 2008 allowing you to resume career decisions made in the past month.  The Saturn and Uranus opposition will take place in your chart in the 9^th house of legal matters, foreign affairs, philosophy and higher education, insuring a crisis of frustration with your 3^rd house of communications and community.

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)

This Full Moon in Aries takes place in your 2^nd house of personal finances and love. 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.
