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

  SAGITTARIUS-(November 22-December 21)

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

This New Moon takes place in your 12th house of the past, the subconscious, seclusion, preparation and institutions.  Unexpected communications will arrive and challenge your plans for the holidays.  Uranus in the 3^rd house of communications and community is squaring this NM allowing all this to transpire. Mars transiting your 8^th house of partnership finances, sex, death and taxes moves with a favorable energy to make things a little easier.   Mars goes retrograde on December 20^th allowing you to see how far you have come during these last three months.  Issues develop and start to reveal themselves as this retrograde continues.  Sometimes life does not travel a straight line. Jupiter conjuncts Neptune from December 20^th to the 24^th ushering in a time when finances can be over-exaggerated or feelings may take a romantic route.  (Reality is pretty puffed up, like a hot air balloon.)

AQUARIUS-(January 20-February 19)

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

PISCES-(February 20-March 20)

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

Starting August 26, 2009 Mercury, Mars and Pluto  makes a Cardinal T Square at 0 degrees of Libra, Cancer and Capricorn, causing great assertive energy  to take place in the sign of  Aries.  You initiated with passion and purpose.  Check the house that Aries rules for more answers.  

Mercury retrograde on September 7^th, 2009 at 6 degrees of Libra comes in with some unforeseen breakdown in communication causing some delay in your plans.  Mercury retreats back into Virgo for some reorganization.   

Saturn at the time of this Full Moon will be at 23degrees of Virgo in aspect to opposing Uranus at 25 degrees of Pisces.    This will be the last in a series of three oppositions that have plagued us this year.  Think of Saturn as structure and foundations.  Think of Uranus as unexpected, seeking freedom and spontaneous.   These two planets in aspect together tend to level the playing field.  They are opposites, and there’s the rub.   Some structures in your life have been very demanding.  (Saturn)  The opposite is no structure. (Uranus)  The conflict must be resolved.  Where is your transiting Saturn?  Where is your transiting Uranus?  Take note of these placements as this is where the conflict will arise.

 On September 12^th Pluto goes direct moving forward to transform the area of your chart that it is transiting. Any aspects to this Pluto from a natal planet will cause a strong desire to accomplish something.

The rest of the month is promising to be very active.  This Full  Moon takes place at 12degrees of Pisces and the chart for the Full Moon includes some important aspects you might want to be aware of.

Mars in Cancer  in square to Mercury in Libra is part of the Cardinal T Square that started on the 26^th of August, making communication very intense. The opposition from Saturn to Uranus can possibly fire at anytime but it is scheduled for September 15^th, 2009. You will know if it does.  The next week should bring in some change in the house that Pisces occupies.

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 12^th house of the past and behind the scenes activity.   This area of your life also encompasses your subconscious, institutions, and clandestine operations.  This is where the changes take place.  The major activity has been taking place in your 1^st house of personality and appearance by way of the Cardinal T Square in your 4^th, 7^th and 10^th house.   Don’t be too surprised if some matters that deal with partnership do not appear to move as fast as you would like, but with Mercury going retrograde in your 7^th house of partnerships, some rethinking has to take place.  Your 6^th house of work seems to be supplying you with enough stress to make you rethink work situations.   This FM will make you slow down and take a breath.  Center yourself and figure out what you want.  Changes and delays make you rethink your position.

TAURUS-(April 20-May 20)

This Full Moon takes place in your 11^th house of goals, hopes and wishes.  Your direction and what you want to accomplish has changed and the interesting aspect of all of this is that things are not happening the way you expected.  The Cardinal T Square of Mars, Mercury and Pluto on the 27^th of August continues to activate your Aries 12^th house of the past, subconscious and clandestine operations.  Don’t be surprised if issues that deal with the 12^th house seem to look good one day and scary the next.  There are changes in the health area of your chart as well as your everyday work situation.  These subjects may not find a resolve for awhile or become problematic in the near future.  Saturn in your 5^th house of children, creativity and love affairs is establishing a new foundation for you but not without stressing you out to the max.  There will be changes in this area. They will benefit you;  you just won’t know it at the time.

 GEMINI-(May 21-June 20)

This Full Moon takes place in your 10^th house of career and standing in the community.   Career changes ahead.  The changes that take place with this FM are not so unexpected but, they still require you to instigate a plan allowing you to forge ahead. The Cardinal T Square points to your 11^th house of goals as receiving a tremendous amount of activity.  Mars in your 2^nd house of values and Mercury in your 5^th house of children , creativity and love affairs and Pluto in your 8^th house make me think that you are initiating some new directions that encompass these goals.  Usually, when I talk about the 10^th house, I am talking about career but, in so many ways, we wear many hats and the 10^th house covers these areas also.  I am an Astrologer, a mother, a grandmother, etc. etc.. These are all different hats that I wear.  As I accept new facets of myself, I also increase the hats that I wear.

 CANCER-(June 21-July 22)

This Full Moon takes place in your 9^th house of legal matters, philosophy, higher education and foreign affairs.  Changes that are occurring in this house are usually of a mental nature since much of this house requires your philosophical views to dominate any 9^th house issues.  Most of the activity has been focused on your 10^th house of career up to, and including, this FM.   There are discussions taking place that are pointed and direct.  Your ability to make things happen is on high.  Saturn Uranus opposition will have something to do with conflict involving home and career.  If you feel that this has a connection for you check your natal planets for more concise information.  You are making some things happen… good for you!  This will eventually redefine your financial house.

 LEO-(July 23-August 22)

This Full Moon takes place in your 8^th house of partnership resources, other people’s money, sex, death and taxes.  Quite a mouthful.   There are indications that money from others is about to change.  This could come from a bank or Mortgage Company or an inheritance.  It is not your personal money.  The Saturn Uranus opposition is positioned in these opposing houses causing much stress and conflict.   At some time this month these stresses and conflicts will be resolved one way or another. Do not burn any bridges as these situations appear.  Your behind the scenes communications are best described as your point of view and very debatable.  Issues that deal with partnerships are getting clearer.  Heed your inner voice when it comes to making decisions.  You won’t be wrong.

 VIRGO-(August 23-September 22)

The Full Moon takes place in your 7^th house of partnerships, either business or personal.  Lately, you have noticed many changes in yourself and trying to fit the new you into an already established relationship is very difficult.  Your needs today are not the needs of yesterday or a year ago.  There are changes in this house at this time, but with Mercury going retrograde, I don’t know how long you will feel this way.  There is a strong amount of energy that you are putting into partnership resources.  The object is to acquire a more financial stability. This month will put some pitfalls in your way but, in reality, these are the pitfalls you missed.  Your goals are up for major discussions.  It’s all about the new you and what you want.  Stay true to yourself.

LIBRA-(September 23-October 22)

This Full Moon takes place in your 6^th house of everyday work and/or health issues.  You have been eliminating issues and things from your life that taken up your precious time.  You have been in a period of reduction and scrutiny that has you releasing old habits and trying to build a new foundation for Saturn’s entrance into the 1^st house.  Partnership issues that have been up for awhile now seem to be taking hold.  Career communications are direct and will need to be revamped as Mercury goes retrograde.  The Saturn Uranus opposition involves your 12^th house of the past and Uranus in the 6^th house of work and/or health.  This stress will be over on or about the 15^th of September.  You will be entering a cycle to redefine your goals, friends, hopes and wishes that takes place in the next six months.

  SCORPIO-(October 24-November 22)

This Full Moon takes place in your 5^th house of children, creativity, love affairs and gambling.  There is a major change that takes place here and it is one that has been a  possibility for awhile.  These are also the houses that hold the Saturn Uranus opposition that takes place later this month.  The conflict comes from your goals and for some reason not reaching them.  You know the reason but just don’t want to admit it.  You have been putting a lot of effort into 6^th house matters (everyday work and health) and they now seem to be taking form..  There will be delays but they seem to energize your convictions.  Mars square Mercury from the 9^th to the 12^th indicates some communications that are pointed and require discussion.   Stay level; stay centered; stay intuitive.

SAGITTARIUS-(November 22-December 21)

This Full Moon takes place in your 4^th house of home and core issues.  The changes that take place here have been in the works for a long time.  There is a change in the home but I want you to realize that these changes also take place on a personal and deeper level.  Your personal core issues are the foundations on which you build your home.  If there is a change in the home, there is a change in your core.  The Saturn Uranus opposition will also activate this career and home conflict.  You have been redefining your career and direction for two years and now the situation becomes more clear and defined.  There are heated discussions about goals.  The indication is that compromise is appropriate now.  Mercury will be going retrograde almost immediately delaying any further resolution.  You are making strong headway.

CAPRICORN-(December 22-January 19)

This Full Moon takes place in your 3^rd house of communications, community, brothers, sisters and immediate environment. The changes that take place in the 3^rd house have to do with changes in your environment or close relations.   At the same time Saturn has been transiting your 9^th house of philosophy, legal matters, higher education and foreign affairs.   The conflict that arises is usually mental and has the organization and fundamentals of Saturn conflicting with Uranus and the need for freedom and less stress.  This month will bring the last of those oppositions and Saturn will prepare to enter the sign of Libra on your 10^th house of career.  This is an accomplishment and a high point in your life.  Pluto in your first house and Mars in opposition have put you in an uncompromising position.  Think twice before you burn any bridges. 

AQUARIUS-(January 20-February 19)

This Full Moon takes place in your 2^nd house of personal finances, values and love.  The changes here indicate financial changes for you, personally, and changes in values that rule your desires.  The opposite 8^th house has had Saturn transiting this position for the last 2 years.  There have been conflicts and there is still one more to be visited upon us.  The final transiting Saturn and Uranus opposition seems to come to some conclusion on or about September 15^th, 2009. This is the last of the transiting Saturn Uranus oppositions for this year.  This will release you from the stress and conflict of the past year.   There is a lot of discussion going on with everyday work and legal matters or philosophy that poses problems in the near future that will be worked out in the next month.  (Mercury retrograde)  Things seem to be shaping up for the next cycle that we enter in October.      

PISCES-(February 20-March 20)

This Full Moon takes place in your 1^st house of personality and appearance.  Uranus has been transiting this house for the last 5 years creating unexpected issues and revolutionary changes.  This Full Moon changes you personally and how you appear to the world.  These changes can be physical and/or reveal new aspects of your personality never before realized. Saturn in the 7^th house of partnership has redefined your partnerships to make them acceptable to the new you.  On or about September 15^th there will be a Saturn Uranus opposition that will release you from current stresses.  This may take two weeks to realize but the conflict will be gone.  There has been a tremendous push for you to increase your personal finances. There are direct communications that point to activity but alas the Mercury retrograde delays the opportunity until next month.  Stay centered.

We are on the verge of a powerful New Moon Eclipse at 29 degrees of Cancer.  This is the second New Moon in Cancer in a row.  Think for a minute where Cancer is in your chart.  Cancer is nurturing, emotional, loving, traditional and very Cardinal.  The last New Moon in Cancer was in opposition to Pluto.  That was very dramatic in everyone’s life.  This NME is also in Cancer but at the end of the sign and it does make another aspect to Pluto, an inconjunct.  This is a major adjustment.  Also, there is the planet Uranus in trine to this NME emphasizing unpredictability and sudden opportunities for freedom. The next aspect is Venus square to Saturn, bringing in financial skepticism and some form of emotional isolation. Uranus also squares Pluto promoting unexpected events.  Mars sextile to Mercury promotes communication to improve the situation.  As you can see by the planets and aspects involved, this will be a strong Eclipse. If you have any planets involved in this NME, as I am sure you do, look to your natal chart to see how these planets activate.  If you have a natal Pluto trine the Sun, this will be a wonderful Eclipse for you.  Check mainly the Sun and Moon and then go from there.   You will see the area of your life that receives the strongest hit.  The importance of this NME is that it takes us into Saturn in Libra, the next 2 ½ year cycle.  If you know about Saturn transits, then you realize this is a major change in energy. This is Cardinal energy; you taking the lead and changing your expression in some way.  I am working on an article for Saturn transits in Libra with Mars retrograde in Leo.  This should give a heads up on what’s coming. If you noticed, the last NM in Cancer gave the impetus to do more and express more.  Well, here comes the sequel to that movie.  Be prepared to institute new actions, plans and programs that are a more up to date expression of who you are.  The house that this NME falls in is where the challenge takes place.  This NME does not have to be negative; it is all in how you view life.  The only sure thing is that it will be strong and last a long time.  The general consensus is that as long as the NME is in minutes is as long as it lasts in years. This NME lasts approximately 6 1/2 minutes.  Some situations will be revealed that you will have to take action on.  Depending on the aspects this NME makes will indicate the action you will express.

 Please read your rising sign as it will be more accurate to you personally.  If you have intercepted signs you will need to make adjustments.

ARIES-(March 21-April 19)

This New Moon Eclipse takes place in your 4^th house of home and core issues.  The home is the outside manifestation of your inner core,  so expect new beginnings that will be challenging.  Not only will you be making changes on the outside but you will be making very strong changes on a deeper level. The inconjuct with Pluto and Pluto’s square to Uranus makes a powerful and unexpected adjustment in your career sector.  The Saturn square to Venus accents the feeling that this is a lonely position to be in.  With your Aries ascendant and rising sign, you are definitely on the train to somewhere.  This is Cardinal heaven. 

TAURUS-(April 20-May 20)

This New Moon Eclipse takes place in your 3^rd house of communications and community.  Uranus square Pluto and inconjunct the NME leads me to believe that the action you are about to start has a definite connection to your goals.  These are all mental signs and positions; therefore, much of this action takes place on a mental level.  The 9^th house contains transiting Pluto leading me to believe that this house is being transformed as we speak.  This is the house of higher education, philosophy, foreign affairs, law, writing and publishing.  Personal finances,, children and love affairs are strained as this NME contains a Venus square Saturn.   There is plenty to talk about and, maybe, even a vacation.     

GEMINI-(May 21-June 20)

This New Moon Eclipse takes place in your 2^nd house of personal finances and values.  The Uranus square in the 10^th house of career to Pluto in the 8^th of partnership resources and inconjunct to the NME seem to be screaming new financial beginnings that happen very unexpectedly.  This train seems to jump the tracks and all of a sudden you are going in a new direction.  You may feel  as if you are leaving a lot behind as Saturn is restricted in your 4^th house of home. This is a strong time for you and a new beginning. 

CANCER-(June 21-July 22)

This New Moon Eclipse takes place in your 1^st house of personality and how you appear to the world.  The Moon represents change wherever it lands.  Imagine a new look or  travel..  Mars in the 12^th sextiles  Mercury in the 2^nd and opens communications for you.  Uranus in the 9^th house of philosophy, foreign affairs, higher education and law is in square to Pluto in the 7^th stressing legal matters with a partnership. The NME aspect of an inconjunct to Pluto reveals an adjustment has to be made. Venus in the 12^th house square Saturn in the 3^rd makes this NME feel insecure during this event.   There is a lovely Uranus trine to the NME acknowledging  that there is more freedom in store for you.

LEO-(July 23-August 22)

This New Moon Eclipse takes place in your 12^th house of behind the scenes activity, the subconscious and hidden matters.   If you have any secrets you are trying to keep under wraps, forget it.  This NME is like a spotlight on the 12^th house.  Everything will be on the table.  Uranus in the 8^th house of partnership finances, sex, death, and taxes squares Pluto in the 6^th, causing mega stress with partnership finances and your current work and/or health situation.   This 12^th house NME is in an inconjunct aspect to Pluto persuading you to make the adjustments needed.  Finances are sketchy but help is on the way.  You may have questions about partnership that can’t be answered at this time.

VIRGO-(August 23-September 22)

This New Moon Eclipse takes place in your 11^th house of goals, hopes and wishes.  You currently have transiting Saturn in your 1^st house begging you to rethink everything you are going to do.  This NME sheds a lot of light on your future goals.  The NME forms an inconjunct to the transiting planet Pluto  in the 5^th house of children, creativity and love affairs, asking you to accept the adjustment that will be taking place in that area.  There is an indication that this adjustment will benefit you in the long run.  Mars in your 10^th house of career is causing communication stress due to some not so public conversations. This next six months will be all about what you want and how to get it.

 LIBRA-(September 23-October 22)

The New Moon Eclipse takes place in your 10^th house of career and makes an inconjuct aspect to Pluto to the 4^th house of home and core issues.  On one level the career sector is being activated but it requires an adjustment from you on some core level.  Uranus in the 6^th house is in trine to this NME showering you with opportunity from this adjustment.  Saturn in the 12^th is in square to Venus in the 9^th house.  This may make you feel a little restricted.  Communications will be an active part of this association.  Uranus does make a square aspect to Pluto in the 4^th from the 6^th indicating that some actions need transformation.  This may cost money but then what doesn’t ?

. SCORPIO-(October 24-November 22)

This New Moon Eclipse takes place in your 9^th house of philosophy, law, higher education and foreign affairs.  This is the area that will take up your time in the coming months.  There is a major aspect that involves Uranus in trine to the NME and also squaring transiting Pluto in the 3^rd house of communications and community.  The NME makes a major inconjunct aspect to transiting Pluto in the 3^rd house.  You can plan on a major adjustment that is going to offer you more freedom in the long run.  The changes that you make are necessary and you have to work with them.  This is a challenge and you will have to perform. 

SAGITTARIUS-(November 22-December 21)

This New Moon Eclipse takes place in the 8^th house of partnership resources.  The aspects that it makes require an adjustment from you that has to do with other people’s money or partnership monies.  Uranus in the 4^th house of home and core issues squares Pluto in the 2^nd house of personal finances forcing you to make some changes. This Uranus trines the NME releasing you from some restrictions and allowing you some unexpected and exciting news about your own direction.  A lot of communications are taking place in your 7^th house of partnership with regards to work and the new adjustments that have to take place.  This can be very interesting.

CAPRICORN-(December 22-January 19)

This New Moon Eclipse takes place in your 7^th house of partnership and makes an inconjunct aspect to transiting Pluto in your 1^st house. There are adjustments that have to be made and  worrying about them won’t make them happen any sooner or be more comfortable.  There is a trine from Uranus in the 4^th to the NME in the 7^th that confirms that these adjustments are necessary and will benefit you in the long run. This NME enhances your charisma in many ways.  There are a lot of communications that have to do with partnership funds and money from others.  You may find that there are new restrictions for you to deal with when it comes to work. AQUARIUS-(January 20-February 19)

This New Moon Eclipse takes place in your 6^th house of work and/or health matters.  The aspects that are important are the inconjunct to transiting Pluto in the 12^th house of hidden matters or institutions asking for an adjustment in dealing with issues from behind the scenes.  Another strong aspect is Uranus in the 2^nd house of personal finances to transiting Pluto in the 12^th house of hidden matters.  There is no escape from this but along with it is a Uranus trine to the NME telling me that there is financial opportunity waiting in the wings. There are restrictions, but it’s not impossible.  You still don’t have all the answers, but they are getting closer.  This next six months will tell the tale.

PISCES-(February 20-March 20)

This New Moon Eclipse takes place in your 5^th house of children, creativity and love affairs.  There is more to this 5^th house but I leave it to you to find out.  This NME forms an inconjunct aspect to transiting Pluto in your 11^th house of goals, hopes and wishes, asking you to make an adjustment in your goals.  At first this may seem difficult, but in reality, there is a trine from transiting Uranus that leads directly to the NME in the 5^th of children.  Uranus in your 1^st house is making a strong aspect to transiting Pluto forcing you to eliminate a certain goal.  Communication is rampant and discussions are opportunistic.   Venus is squaring Saturn making you feel isolated.  The solutions are there and they will be apparent. 

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)

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)

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.
