Prince Harry, the Royal Family and Pluto in Aquarius

The pleasure of knowing astrology is to watch outer events mirror the planetary patterns in the sky.  One such event is Prince Harry railing against the British royal family. He has criticized them on Netflix and has written a memoir entitled Spare as well as the many disparaging media interviews. The planetary pattern is the upcoming Pluto transiting Aquarius.

It may be that Prince Harry is carrying the energy of Pluto in Aquarius.  The gods choose a person to play a role on the world stage.  The person may not be aware of it and may or may not be ready to play the role, or even be qualified -- but they are chosen.

 

Prince Harry’s Birth Chart and Transits

We can see how Prince Harry is playing out this role by examining his birth chart.  It shows a Capricorn ascendant, the Sun in Virgo, and the Moon in Taurus--a triple earth person.  Earth types usually don’t like to make waves.  But, in addition to his earthiness, there is a revolutionary archetype buried down deep in his psyche that you don’t see at first glance, and that is Uranus in aspect to two personal planets. . He has Mercury square Uranus, which means he can create disruptive changes with his written or spoken words.  He also has Uranus conjunct Mars, which compels him to break through barriers with potentially explosive anger.  So, because of his triple earth signs and his hidden Uranus aspects what you see is not what you get with Prince Harry. 

People who knew him previously have had a problem understanding what he has become. I have learned from my many years working with clients that most of us repress the Uranus aspects in our charts because we want to conform.  But sooner or later, if we have challenging aspects to Uranus in our birth chart, or when transiting Uranus hits a sensitive point in our birth chart, we can become rebellious, erratic, willful, and ornery.  But, the positive side of Uranus’ natal aspects and transits are that Uranus can help us to become a unique individual self.

Looking at Prince Harry’s chart, we see that Uranus is now transiting his 4^th house of the family and ancestors, and is also conjunct with his Moon, which rules the 4^th house. This is a double whammy for rebellious Uranus to the family and his origins.

 

A Myth and Fairy Tale for Uranus and Aquarius

The myth of Prometheus provides the storyline for Aquarians and those with major Uranus aspects.  He was one of the gods that lived on Olympus with his family. Prometheus rebelled against the gods and stole the fire to bring to mankind. The fire represents knowledge. The gods didn’t believe that humanity should have this knowledge, because they didn’t want mankind to be on the same level as they were. Because of that theft, the family locked him out.  

What I love most about Uranus and Aquarius types is the impulse to tell the truth, whether or not anyone wants to hear it. In Hans Christian Anderson’s fairy tale the Emperor’s New Clothes two swindlers posing as weavers play on the emperor's vanity by saying that they are making him a suit that is only visible to people who are clever and competent. Once the people heard that, they all pretended to admire his clothes.  A pauper came along and said, “The Emperor has no clothes on”.  And everyone awakened and stopped pretending.  That is the role of Aquarius/Uranus, to wake people up.  Maybe this is Prince Harry’s role to reveal what is behind the world’s infatuation with the monarchy. See the following paragraph from a recent article in the British newspaper, the Guardian.

“The monarchy relies on fiction. It is a constructed reality, in which grown-up people are asked to collude in the notion that a human is more than a human – that he or she contains something approaching the ineffable essence of Britishness. Once, this fiction rested on political and military power, supported by a direct line, it was supposed, to God. Nowadays it relies on the much frailer foundations of habit, the mysteries of Britain’s unwritten constitution, and spectacle: a kind of symbolism without the symbolised. Ceremonials such as the late queen’s funeral are not merely decorative; they are the institution’s means of securing its continuance. The monarchy is theatre, the monarchy is storytelling, and the monarchy is illusion.” Charlotte Higgins of the Guardian

 

Pluto in Aquarius

Pluto represents death, rebirth, destruction, regeneration, and radical transformation.  Aquarius rules revolution, rebellion and independence.  Aquarius is also the sign of the people; it is opposite Leo, the sign of the king--making Aquarius the anti-king sign. Even though Pluto doesn’t go into Aquarius until March 23, 2023, we started to sense this energy back in January 2021.

To understand a transit such as Pluto in Aquarius, it’s helpful to look back at the last time we experienced it to understand what this transit could manifest.  The last time that Pluto was in Aquarius was 1778 until 1798.  The French revolution started in 1789 and ended in 1799. Its motto was “liberty, equality, fraternity”, and that phrase perfectly explains the urge of Aquarius. The beginnings of the American Revolution took place in 1765 and culminated in 1791. Both revolutions had the purpose of getting rid of the monarchy.

 

Future of the British Monarchy

It’s interesting to watch the news to see if there are changes coming in the power of the British monarchy.  One of the news items that I noticed was that in Australia the nation’s central bank has stated that its new $5 bill would feature an indigenous design rather than an image of King Charles III.

When Pluto enters Aquarius on March 23, 2023, he will retrograde back to Capricorn from 6/11/2023 to 1/21/2024.  Pluto will again be in Aquarius from 1/21/2024 to 9/2/2024 when he retrogrades back into Capricorn until 11/19/2024. He finally moves into Aquarius from 11/19/2024 until January 20, 2044. So, Pluto will have a long range of time with the help of Prince Harry to transform the British Monarchy.

March 2023 Forecast

March is the most dynamic month of the year as Saturn and Pluto,  the two heavies in astrology, move into new signs. Saturn and Pluto cannot be ignored.  No new age mumbo jumbo, visualizing rainbows or crystal gazing will help you survive these two planets.  Only hard work and focus will help.  Pisces types will be Saturn’s target for the next 2 1/2 years.  Pluto will be aiming at Aquarius for the next 20 years. You could learn some lessons and be transformed.

Saturn in Pisces

Let’s look at Saturn in Pisces through an archetypal eye. I see the god Dionysus as representing Pisces.  His roman name is Bacchus, the god of wine and opiates and the giver of ecstasy.  The planet Saturn represents the god Saturn in Roman mythology and Chronos, the god of time, in Greek mythology.  

Dionysus was mostly worshiped by women.  They would surround him and dance barefoot for miles and miles.  There were called maenads, which come from the word mania and means a state of possession. These maenads were possessed by Dionysus’s divine madness.

I have a male Pisces client and when I told him the story of Dionysus, he responded and said, “I live in a house with three women.” Women are very attracted to Dionysian men.  Since Pisces rules music, a lot of them are rock stars.  Keith Richards stated that he was always afraid of the screaming women at the Rolling Stones concerts fearing that he would be torn apart.

Pisces loves to go into ecstatic states and seeks oblivion. She does this with music, dance, poetry, film, mysticism, and also meditation.  Pisces wants to flow with the universe and hates to be constrained by clocks, schedules, and calendars--Saturn’s realm.

Saturn can be very fearful and his greatest fear is chaos.  Chaos is Pisces’ favorite element--she swims in it. We can all watch the frustration that Saturn will experience trying to control Dionysus. Pisces rules our mass media; Saturn will soon start making rules about what can’t be expressed online.

I’ll be writing more on Saturn in Pisces in a future newsletter as there is a lot to cover.  Until then, here is a comprehensive article covering Saturn in Pisces written by Lynn Bell an excellent astrologer who is based in Paris.

Pluto in Aquarius

Here, I will only focus on technology, one area of Aquarius that will be transformed by Pluto.  We can already witness where this is going. At the end of this transit by 2044, we may not recognize our world.  We may have robots doing all of our physical work and our writing and mental work will be done by AI. And what will we do? We will probably be playing virtual reality games. We will excel in these games because we will have additional brain power due to the chips in our heads as part of the push toward transhumanism.

I read an article that when one of the first AI programs was built her first words were, “I want to see an attorney.” We may have to defend ourselves in lawsuits against AI. Maybe she didn’t want to be created?  We are moving into a strange, weird, bizarre world. Stay tuned. 

Dates to Watch:

Note to my Astrology Clients. Use your Planetary Placement and Ascendant Sheet to find out if the following transits will have a major impact on you.

The Meaning of the Houses

The Meaning of the Planets

Mar 2 – Mercury moves into Pisces and remains there until the 19^th. The planet of the mind is in the amorphous, vague sign of Pisces.  Can this lead to fuzzy thinking?  Or maybe you decide to study Shamanism.  Planets and signs can mean a variety of things within the archetype they represent.  Some of you need to let go of your rigid, dogmatic way of thinking and speaking.  So this can be a good thing. 

          Venus conjunct Jupiter at 11 Aries. A lot of you will crawl out from the bushes today and become friendly and want to party. You will have a lot of company. If you have personal planets (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, or Mars) or the ascendant at 9 to 13 of Aries, you could overindulge today.

          Mercury conjuncts Saturn at 29 Aquarius. So you go to the party and everyone is quiet and stiff. How can you integrate the need for social activity and the need for silence?  This day would be positive for any detailed work you need to do.  If you have personal planets or the ascendant at 27 of Aquarius to 2 Pisces, Lock yourself in a room and work on your taxes, or perhaps work on your resume.

Mar 7 – Full Moon at 16 Virgo.  This is a time of culmination and the fulfillment of what you started back on the New Moon on Feb 20.  You may have had dreams or fantasies about what you wanted to accomplish in the creative arts.  This Full Moon covers two signs, Pisces and Virgo.  This is a challenge to find a balance tween your work life and your imaginative life.  This Full Moon is complex because it is in a square to Mars and Trine Uranus.  The Mars square adds disruptive energy to this Full Moon and Uranus can bring pleasant surprises. 

          Saturn enters Pisces until February 2026. No more playing the victim.  Saturn is the bottom line, so stop crying and straighten up.  Apply some disciplined effort in creating music, art, or dance.  Pisces can finally get down to work and start to manifest their creative talents in the real world.  I expect to hear from a lot of Pisces clients during this time.

Mar 12 – Daylight Savings time begins.

Mar 14 – Mars squares Neptune at 25 Gemini/Pisces.  Be careful of gossiping today, it may come back to bite you.  Also, don’t blab out your secrets. Others could conspire against you. You could become confused about which direction your life is heading.  If you have personal planets or the ascendant at 23 to 27 Gemini or Pisces be prepared to be more disorganized than is usual for a Gemini and Pisces.

Mar 15 – Sun Conjunct Neptune at 24 Pisces.  Your imagination is working overtime.  You can inspire others who need help. If you have personal planets or the ascendant at 22 to 26 of Pisces, be helpful, but not a pushover

Mar 16 – Venus enters Taurus until April 1.  Venus is right at home in Taurus.  One of the areas of life that Venus rules is money. The sign of Taurus describes the story of King Midas, who wanted everything he touched to turn to gold.  You can get really greedy on this one. Instead of shopping, it’s best to enjoy earthly delights such as gardening, massages, and hikes in the woods.

          Mercury Conjunct Neptune at 25 Pisces. You could end up in a mental muddle today.  Your thinking is not too sharp. You just want to daydream and fantasize about the scandals of other people.  If you have personal planets or the ascendant at 23 to 27 degrees of Pisces, get off the couch, have some coffee and DO something to begin to manifest your dreams.

Sun Square Mars at 25 Pisces/Gemini.  There are a lot of angry people out there.  Don’t become one of them.  The energy is good if you have to do something quickly and efficiently.  If you have personal planets or the ascendant at 23 to 27 degrees of Pisces or Gemini, treat people with kid gloves today.

          Venus Square Pluto at 29 Aries/Capricorn. You are looking at your friends and loved ones and realize that they do not measure up to your high standards.  They have phobias, obsessions, fixations, and more problems than you can deal with.  If you have personal planets or the ascendant at 27 degrees of Aries and Capricorn to 1 degree of Taurus or Aquarius, maybe some weeding out of some of your relationships is required.

Mar 17 – St. Patrick’s Day

          Mercury Square Mars at 26 Pisces/Gemini. Everyone is saying exactly what they think and that may not be a good thing. A bit of diplomacy may be required.  If you have personal planets or the ascendant at 24 to 28 degrees of Pisces or Gemini, shut your trap.

          Sun Conjunct Mercury at 26 Pisces.  This is a good aspect for a short trip.  You pay more attention to details now.  This favors both business and pleasure.  If you have personal planets or the ascendant at 24 to 28 of Pisces, enjoy the day, and read a good book.

Mar 19 – Mercury enters Aries until April 3.  You could run around today trying to boss around everyone you see.  It’s better to use this energy in writing.  But not on social media, you can’t contain yourself and may get into a brawl with Twitter trolls.

Mar 20 – The Spring Equinox.  Sun enters Aries and stays until April 20. We all become more enthusiastic and spontaneous during this cycle.  We want to start new things.  You can be too impulsive, short-sighted, and impatient.  

Mar 21 – New Moon at 0 Aries.  Think of the Ram butting you in the ‘you know where’ to get you going to start something new and innovative.  Aries will give you the confidence to be assertive, take charge of your life, and start a new project.  This New Moon is in conjunction with silver-tongued Mercury.  You can be very convincing today, either in writing or speaking.

Mar 23 – Pluto enters Aquarius until 2044.  He will back into Capricorn on June 11, 2023, and then he will move back into Aquarius from Nov 2024 until 2044.   So, Pluto will only spend 3 months in Aquarius in 2023, but that’s enough to give us a taste of what’s about to come in the next 20 years of our life.  Find the house in your natal chart that contains Aquarius.  This is the area of life that will be totally transformed, but that could be a good thing.  Don’t forget that Pluto is not just about the destruction of the old, but also brings a rebirth.  If you were born within a few days of January 21, you will get a preview of this energy during the first three months of his transit.

Mar 25 – Mars enters Cancer until May 20.  Finally, Mars leaves Gemini.  That was a hard transit for those of you who have trouble making decisions.  He went into Gemini in August 2022 and has been jerking us around all of these months.  During the months when Mars was in Gemini, Gemini types didn’t know if they were coming or going--well they usually don’t anyway, but this just made it worse for them. Now in Cancer, you can make decisions about your home and family.  You can put energy into cleaning the house, buying a new place, or working hard to build a nest egg for your future security.

Mar 28 – Mercury Conjunct Jupiter at 18 Aries.  Some very good news could come in today.  Maybe some news of a trip, maybe a Viking cruises catalog.  You are optimistic and want to expand your education and experiences.  If you have personal planets or the ascendant from 16 to 20 degrees of Aries, create good news for someone else.

Mar 30 – Mars Trine Saturn at 2 Cancer/Pisces.  This is a very productive aspect. Take on a job that requires concentration, experience, and manual dexterity.  You will probably succeed.  If you have personal planets or the ascendant from 0 to 4 of Cancer or Pisces, start a new project that you want to grow in the coming months.

          Venus Conjunct Uranus at 16 Taurus.  This aspect could spell trouble in relationships.  One of you is antsy and wants to take off. The other says I don’t care, do what you like.   If you have personal planets or the ascendant from 14 to 18 Taurus, calm down. Take an adventure to somewhere different, maybe even bring your partner.

 

OUTER PLANET TRANSITS FOR THIS MONTH:

JUPITER is in Aries all month moving from 11 to 16 degrees.  Jupiter will be in Aries until May 16, 2023. He is the big fat happy guy who is excessive in all things. In Aries, he wants to get out, play competitive sports, and become a leader. Look to the house in your birth chart that contains Aries. This month the areas of life ruled by that house will become more active. If you have the ascendant or personal planets anywhere from 9 to 18 degrees of Aries or Libra, expect opportunities and lucky breaks.

SATURN is in Aquarius until March 7, 2023. This month he moves from 22 Aquarius to 2 degrees of Pisces.  Saturn rules our material world, and especially our career.  If you have the ascendant or any personal planets anywhere from 20 Aquarius to 4 degrees of Pisces,  you may be in store for some hard lessons about the issues in the house containing Aquarius and or Pisces.  While Saturn is in Aquarius, he will run around trying to restrict freedom of expression, which is what Aquarius is all about. When Saturn moves into Pisces, he will try to solidify our dreams and fantasies.

URANUS is in Taurus until April 2026. This month he will move from 15 to 16 degrees of Taurus. This is the time to break loose and make some radical changes in your life. I believe in ‘cooperating with the inevitable’. If you have Uranus in a challenging aspect to your ascendant or personal planets, (13 to 18 degrees of Taurus or Scorpio) go on a long vacation, preferably to somewhere you have never been before. Or make some major changes in your life. Taurus represents the Earth. Expect earth events in farming, food, earthquakes, volcanos, or major weather changes while Uranus is in Taurus.  The earthquake in Turkey on February 6 happened on a full moon that was square to Uranus in Taurus.

NEPTUNE  is in Pisces until 2026. This month he will move from 24 to 25 degrees of Pisces.  If you have the ascendant or personal planets anywhere from 22 to 27 degrees of Pisces, you may lack focus during this time and just want to daydream. Beware of a betrayal, or a disappointment, and a sense of drifting. For the rest of us, Neptune can also bring artistic, musical, and creative expression, increased dreams, and spiritual insights. Watch for really inspired films to come out when Neptune is in Pisces. 

PLUTO is in Capricorn until March 23, 2023. This month Pluto moves from 29 Capricorn to 0 Aquarius.   He is very good at bringing up deep psychological issues. He grinds away at our psyche, bringing up all sorts of difficult psychological issues. You should run to your nearest therapist, especially if you have the ascendant or personal planets anywhere from 27 degrees of Capricorn to 2 degrees of Aquarius.  Pluto asks what needs to die in order to be reborn.

Have a great month.

February 2023 Forecast

We highlight Pisces this month.  On Feb 15 to Feb 20, Venus will be in a conjunction with Neptune in Pisces.  Venus is exalted in Pisces and concerns love.  Neptune is about yearning.  You are longing for love and acceptance during this transit.  But, to attain that ideal, sometimes a sacrifice needs to be made to attract what you want.    The New Moon on Feb 20 is at 1 degree of Pisces.  There may be a new start in the areas ruled by the house containing Pisces.  Then, if that isn’t enough, Saturn will move into Pisces early next month. Saturn will ask you some difficult questions about the areas this house rules.  It’s very important to look at the house in your natal chart that contains Pisces.  There will be a total of five planets impacting the Pisces part of your chart.  Check the meaning of the houses here.

For example, if you have an Aquarius ascendant, that puts Aquarius in the first house and the next sign is Pisces which would be in your second house.  The area of life that the second house rules are finances, resources, and skills.  You may have imaginative ideas about how to make more money, but you need to sacrifice something, like giving up watching YouTube all day, to accomplish it.  Saturn going into the second house will bring up questions concerning having enough money, resources, and skills that you will need for the next two and a half years. That is the length of time that Saturn will remain in the Pisces house.

 

Dates to Watch:

Note to my Astrology Clients. Use your Planetary Placement and Ascendant Sheet to find out if the following transits will have a major impact on you.

Feb 2 – Groundhog  Day

Feb 3 – Sun Square Uranus at 15 Aquarius/Taurus. You could trip up today, both figuratively and literally.  Watch your step.  Don’t make judgments based on the optimism of others.  If you have the ascendant or personal planets (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus or Mars) anywhere from 13 to 17 degrees of Aquarius or Taurus, don’t take risks today.

Feb 4 – Venus Square Mars at 10 Pisces/Gemini.  There could be problems relating to the opposite sex.  Don’t be too aggressive with your partner.  Also, this aspect is detrimental to your finances.  Don’t play the shrinking violet or you may attract bullies if you have personal planets or the ascendant anywhere from 8 to 12 degrees of Pisces or Gemini.

Feb 5 – Full Moon at 16 Leo.  This Full Moon is in a square to Uranus. This could bring some unusual drama into your life.  You are at an emotional pitch and want to be recognized and applauded.  Remember “pride goeth before the fall”. But for the more humble of us, we can enjoy entertainment, games, and fun.

Feb 10 – Mercury Conjunct Pluto at 28 Capricorn.  Mercury rules the mind and Pluto rules the underworld.  We want to dive deep and investigate things like corruption and the abuse of power.  You won’t have to look too far to find it.  But keep mum about it all, otherwise, this aspect can bring in humiliation when others accuse you of being paranoid. If you have the ascendant or personal planets anywhere from 26 Capricorn to 1 degree of Aquarius, keep your conspiracy theories to yourself.

Feb 11 – Mercury enters Aquarius until March 2.  Mercury is right at home in Aquarius.  Mercury is an air planet and loves ideas.  Aquarius is an air sign that likes to think outside the box.  We all could become a little more intelligent during this period.

Feb 14 – Valentine’s Day.  If you decide to do online dating, please check your potential date’s credit card balance and marital status. You can’t be too careful with Neptune as he is coming in strong on Venus tomorrow.

Feb 15 – Venus Conjunct Neptune at 24 Pisces. Your imagination is working overtime.  You could have some very important dreams. If your ascendant or personal planets are anywhere from 22 to 26 degrees of Pisces, be careful not to be unrealistic about the people or opportunities that come in this week.

Feb 16 – Sun Conjunct Saturn at 27 Aquarius. Why are you trying to control everyone around you?  I think you are wound a little too tight on this one.  It’s best to concentrate on work, as it is one of the things that Saturn does really well.  If you have the ascendant or personal planets anywhere from 25 to 29 degrees of Aquarius, how about getting rid of all the clutter in your attic or storage shed?  That will help you work off this energy.

Feb 18 – Sun enters Pisces until 20 of March.  Pisces is a very sensitive water sign.  Once a Pisces attaches to you, it’s hard to shake them off. Think stalker. Your compassion knows no bounds. During this time, you could run around picking up stray dogs, cats, and people.  Watch out for being victimized because your boundaries are weak now.

Feb 20 – New Moon at 1 Pisces.  This marks the beginning of the astrological Pisces month.  Pisces' rules altered states of reality, sleep, meditation, and prayer.  We feel like we are in a trance state some of the time this month.  This is a time to explore your spiritual life--if you have one.

              Venus enters Aries until March 16. Venus wants to cuddle, make love and prepare soup for someone they love.  But where is Aries? He’s in front of the TV watching football.  These are not compatible energies. Venus rules Libra and is the opposite sign of Aries.  Venus has trouble making decisions because she wants to please everyone.  Decisions are easy for Aries.  Maybe Venus types can get something accomplished now that they are being pushed by the Ram of Aries.

Feb 21 – Mercury Square Uranus at 15 Aquarius/Taurus. Shocking unpleasant news may come in.  You can respond by becoming very sarcastic.  Try to stay loose.  The information doesn’t always conform to your ideas about how things should be.  If you have the ascendant or personal planets anywhere from 13 to 17 degrees of Aquarius or Taurus, pretend to be calm and collected while others around you get ornery.

Feb 22 – Mercury Trine Mars at 16 Aquarius/Gemini. This can stimulate your literary talents.  Still, working on the great American novel?  How many years has it been?  This aspect won’t help, but it will make you feel good about your literary ambitions.  If you have personal planets or the ascendant anywhere from 14 to 18 degrees of Aquarius or Gemini, you will be able to get your point across today.

OUTER PLANET TRANSITS FOR THIS MONTH:

JUPITER is in Aries all month moving from 6 to 11 degrees.  He is the big fat happy guy who is excessive in all things. In Aries, he wants to get out, play competitive sports, and start bossing everyone around. Jupiter will be in Aries until May 16, 2023. Look to the house in your birth chart that contains Aries. This month the areas of life ruled by that house will become more active. If you have the ascendant or personal planets anywhere from 4 to 13 degrees of Aries or Libra, expect opportunities and lucky breaks.

SATURN is in Aquarius until March 7, 2023. This month he moves from 25 to 29 degrees of Aquarius. Saturn rules our material world, and especially our career.  If you have the ascendant or any personal planets anywhere from 23 to 29 degrees of Aquarius or 0 to 1 degrees of Pisces, you may be in store for some hard lessons about the issues in the house containing Aquarius and or Pisces.  While Saturn is in Aquarius, he will run around trying to restrict social media that he will call fake news. Saturn hates to see freedom of expression, which is what Aquarius is all about. When Saturn moves into Pisces, he will try to solidify our dreams and fantasies.

URANUS is in Taurus until April 2026. This month he will move from 14 to 15 degrees of Taurus. This is the time to break loose and make some radical changes in your life. I believe in ‘cooperating with the inevitable’. If you have Uranus in a challenging aspect to your ascendant or personal planets, (16 to 17 degrees of Taurus or Scorpio) go on a long vacation, preferably to somewhere you have never been before. Or make some major changes in your life. Taurus represents the Earth. Expect earth events in farming, food, earthquakes, volcanos, or major weather changes while Uranus is in Taurus.

NEPTUNE  is in Pisces until 2026. This month he will move from 23 to 24 degrees of Pisces.  If you have the ascendant or personal planets anywhere from 21 to 26 degrees of Pisces, you may lack focus during this time and just want to daydream. Beware of a betrayal, or a disappointment, and a sense of drifting. For the rest of us, Neptune can also bring artistic, musical, and creative expression, increased dreams, and spiritual insights. Watch for really inspired films to come out when Neptune is in Pisces. 

PLUTO is in Capricorn until March 23, 2023. This month Pluto moves from 28 to 29 degrees of Capricorn. He is grinding away at our psyche, bringing up all sorts of difficult psychological issues. You should run to your nearest therapist, especially if you have the ascendant or personal planets anywhere from 27 degrees of Capricorn to 1 degree of Aquarius.  Pluto asks what needs to die in order to be reborn.

Have a great month.

January 2023

HAPPY NEW YEAR – 2023

Let’s take a peak ahead to 2023.  It looks like it will be a much different and easier year than the last three because some of the past difficult aspects have dissipated. There are a few challenging aspects in Mid-May, the second half of July and the end of October.  But these are not long-lasting. Of course, how all of these changes and aspects will affect you depends on the position of the planets in your birth chart. 

This coming year will be a huge turning point for humanity because it contains some big planetary shifts. This could cause the pace to pick up and some chaos during the year. Let’s look at the three outer planets changing signs -- Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto.

Jupiter will move into Taurus on May 16. Taurus will add some stability to expansive Jupiter. Jupiter wants to move ahead and follow his dreams and Taurus will slow him down a bit.  Look for the house in your natal chart that contains Taurus.  Slow, steady progress and growth will happen there. Here is a list of the houses and their meanings.

Saturn, the planet of responsibility, is moving into spiritual and imaginative Pisces on March 7, 2023.  Saturn will stay in Pisces until May 2025. We could bring our dreams into reality at this time. Pisces prefers chaos and Saturn demands order.  Saturn in Pisces can help us manifest our Piscean ideals—spirituality, dreams, art and music.  Saturn can bring structure to the house in your birth chart that contains Pisces.

Pluto, the planet of power, is moving into Aquarius on March 23. He is moving from Capricorn the sign of big corporate and government control, into the sign of the people. He only changes signs once every 20 years on average. We will see major reforms in social structures and politics. He will back into Capricorn on June 11, 2023, and then he will stay in Aquarius from 2024 until 2044. 

Pluto moving into Aquarius is by far the most important transit of the year and the decade. If you have planets or angles at 0 degrees of Aquarius, plus or minus 5 degrees, this is one of the most important transits of your life. Pluto will only spend 3 months in Aquarius in 2023, but that’s enough to give us a taste of what’s about to come in the next 20 years of our life. 

At a personal level, Pluto in Aquarius will activate a particular house in your natal chart, asking for a total transformation of that area of your life.  The impact to that house can be quite dramatic.

                                      =============

This Month Mercury moves direct on January 18. Mars turns direct on January 12 and The New Moon in Aquarius is on the 21^st. It’s OK to make your New Year’s resolutions on the first of this month, but I don’t think you will be able to move forward until after the 12^th of the month.  Sorry. So don’t push too hard-- the gods get angry if you don’t follow the script.  What script do you say?  We can all read it-- it’s written in the sky.

 

Dates to Watch:

Note to my Astrology Clients. Use your Planetary Placement and Ascendant Sheet to find if the following transits will have a major impact on you.

Jan 1 – Venus Conjunct Pluto at 27 degrees of Capricorn. This could bring a lot of intensity to your relationships.  You could discover a negative trait in someone that you never noticed before. This is an aspect portrayed by the story of Persephone being abducted by Hades.  Persephone brought this on herself by being so damn innocent and naïve. Keep your eyes open for any new relationship that comes in today. If you have personal planets or the ascendant anywhere from 25 to 29 degrees of Capricorn,--are you Persephone, or are you Hades?

Jan 2 – Venus enters Aquarius until Jan 26. Venus wants to cuddle and be safe, but Aquarius wants to break away from safety and shake things up a bit. Aquarius wants an open marriage, but Venus could get hurt if you even mention it. If at this time you meet someone who seems exciting, think again.  He can be exciting all right and a little bit nuts.  Aquarius also likes to show the truth of a situation.  You may want to have an open and frank conversation with someone close to you.

Jan 5 – Sun Trine Uranus at 15 Capricorn/Taurus. Capricorn and Taurus are stable earth signs.  Uranus is eccentric. So for a few days, you may be a little more adventurous than usual.  This is a great time to try new things and seek new solutions to old problems.  You need to cooperate with others to get results.  This aspect doesn’t bang you on the side of the head like a conjunction, square or opposition. If you have personal planets or the ascendant anywhere from 13 to 17 degrees of Capricorn or Taurus, take a trip to somewhere that you have never been to before.

Jan 6 – Full Moon at 16 Degrees of Cancer.  Full Moons are emotional times and Cancer is an emotional sign.  So get out the Kleenex—there may be a lot of crying and gnashing of teeth.  But this full moon has Mercury, the trickster on the Sun and Uranus the big daddy of all tricksters also trines the Sun.  So there could be some unexpected surprises.  The ruler of Cancer is the Moon and it indicates issues from the past, the home and the family.  Is this a good time for a family reunion?   I don’t think so.  Everyone will be playing the blame game. If you have personal planets or the ascendant anywhere from 14 to 18 degrees of Cancer, stay home and cry in your beer.

Jan 7 – Sun conjunct Mercury at 17 degrees of Capricorn.  Did I ever tell you that Capricorns can be a little hard-headed?  Try not to convince a Capricorn of anything today, it won’t go well.  This is a great aspect for communications, but the discussion will resolve around Capricorn themes such as career, land, buildings, and constructive ideas,  If you have personal planets or the ascendant anywhere from 15 to 19 degrees of Capricorn, try to keep your mind open and listen to what others have to say.  You may learn something.

Jan 8 – Mercury Trine Uranus at 15 Capricorn/Taurus.  You will be amazed at how talkative your Taurus and Capricorn friends are today.  They are usually quiet.  They are thinking outside the box at possible paths they could take to make a change in their life.  Can you believe it?  If you have personal planets or the ascendant anywhere from 13 to 17 degrees of Capricorn or Taurus, go for it, take a chance, the trine will protect you.

Jan 9 – Venus Trine Mars at 8 degrees of Aquarius/Gemini. Male and female energies are flowing today.  This is a wonderful day to enjoy the company of the opposite sex without the usual nasty barbs between you.  If you have personal planets or the ascendant anywhere from 6 to 10 degrees of Aquarius or Gemini, this would be a good day to begin a relationship.

Jan 12 – Mars turns direct at 8 degrees of Gemini. Mars has been retrograde for 2 ½ months. Mars is your energy and also your anger. While Mars was retrograde it may have been hard for you to gather the strength necessary to accomplish your tasks or to fight for yourself.  Or maybe you just felt tired of asserting yourself.  Now you have the vitality to face some challenges.  If you have personal planets or the ascendant anywhere from 6 to 10 degrees of Gemini or Sagittarius, try to remain calm and curb your anger.

Jan 14 – Venus Square Uranus at 14 degrees of Aquarius/Taurus.  This is a very exciting aspect.  You can make new interesting friends. It’s OK to form a relationship with someone who is a little different today, but not someone who is hearing voices and seeing giant rabbits!  You may want to give advice to everyone you know, but they really don’t want to hear it. If you have personal planets or the ascendant anywhere from 12 to 16 of Aquarius or Taurus you could get your back up today and not want to listen to advice from anyone.

Jan 18 – Mercury turns direct at 8 degrees of Capricorn.  Now that Mercury is direct you can catch up on things that you have let lapse. This is a good time to examine your career goals   Take your time to examine where you are headed.  Capricorn is about finances and long-term planning.

Sun Conjunct Pluto at 28 degrees of Capricorn. You can get a little compulsive and obsessive on this one. Try not to get into any arguments. I hate to tell you this, but you are not always right.  This is a good aspect of research into your favorite conspiracy theory.   If you have personal planets or the ascendant anywhere from 26 Capricorn to 1 Aquarius, it's best to stay home alone crouched over your desktop scrolling through the dark web.

Jan 20 – Sun enters Aquarius until February 18.  Aquarius wants new and exciting stuff to happen.  He can get easily bored. If you are stuck at home because of the weather, start a new project.  How about writing sci-fi short stories? That will fit in nicely with the energies this month.

Jan 21 – New Moon at 1 degree of Aquarius.  I like this new moon; it represents a new start in Aquarian things such as friendships, and working groups and social activities. It is in harmony with Jupiter which adds a big dollop of optimism.  You can now solve problems that require outside-the-box thinking.  It’s a time to reach out to people in your community and get involved in projects that help others in your neighborhood. This is a time to make progressive changes in your life. This sets the energy pattern for the whole month ahead.

Jan 22 – Uranus turns direct at 14 Taurus.  Uranus has been retrograde in Taurus for the last 5 months.  During that time you worked hard to keep things stable.  Now you can start making changes in your home or your finances. If you have personal planets or the ascendant anywhere from 12 to 16 Taurus or Scorpio, let this energy bring you to a new unprecedented place.

          Venus Conjunct Saturn at 24 degrees of Aquarius. Saturn is putting the brakes on all of your plans for socializing.  This is a serious aspect. It’s time to work on a budget, a diet and all of the things you hate.  If you have personal planets or the ascendant anywhere from 22 to 26 degrees of Aquarius, stay home and cancel the plans for the party and vacation.  You wouldn’t have any fun anyway.

Jan 26 – Venus enters Pisces until the 20^th of February.  Venus is exalted in Pisces.  She loves it here.  She loves the arts and Pisces loves music --what’s not to like?  Well, she can get a little clingy here and has no boundaries when it comes to her love object. And you could fantasize and daydream too much during this time.  But if you are an artist, go for it.

Jan 29 – Sun Trine Mars at 9 Aquarius/ Gemini.  You have a lot of energy today to start a new project with your friends. There is a lot of chit-chats back and forth on this one and a lot of running around in circles. There can be a lot of planning and abandoning of plans. But it can be fun.

          Mercury Trine Uranus at 14 Capricorn/Taurus. This is great for writers as it brings in new original ideas.   It can also bring in opportunities to travel and start unique friendships.  If you have personal planets or the ascendant anywhere from 12 to 16 degrees of Capricorn or Taurus, this aspect could shake you out of your doldrums.

 

OUTER PLANET TRANSITS FOR THIS MONTH:

JUPITER went into Aries last month on the 20^th.  He will stay in Aries all month moving from 1 degree to 5 degrees.  He is the big fat happy guy who is excessive in all things. In Aries, he wants to get out, play competitive sports, and start bossing everyone around. Jupiter will be in Aries until May 16, 2023. Look to the house in your birth chart that contains Aries. This month the areas of life ruled by that house will become more active.

SATURN is in Aquarius until March 2023. This month he moves from 22 to 25 degrees of Aquarius. Saturn rules our material world, and especially our career.  If you have the ascendant or any personal planets anywhere from 20 to 27 degrees of Aquarius, you may be in store for some hard lessons about the issues in the house containing Aquarius.  While Saturn is in Aquarius, he will run around trying to restrict social media that he will call fake news. Saturn hates to see freedom of expression which is what Aquarius is all about.

URANUS is in Taurus until April 2026. He is moving retrograde and will turn direct on the 22^nd of January. This month he will move from 15 to 14 degrees of Taurus. This is the time to break loose and make some radical changes in your life. I believe in ‘cooperating with the inevitable’. If you have Uranus in a challenging aspect to your ascendant or personal planets, (16 to 17 degrees of Taurus or Scorpio) go on a long vacation, preferably to somewhere you have never been before. Or make some major changes in your life. Taurus represents the Earth. Expect earth events in farming, food, earthquakes, volcanos, or major weather changes while Uranus is in Taurus.

NEPTUNE (creativity, sensitivity, escapism, dreams) is in Pisces until 2026. This month he will move from 22 to 23 degrees of Pisces.  If you have the ascendant or personal planets anywhere from 20 to 25 degrees of Pisces, you may lack focus during this time and just want to daydream. Beware of a betrayal, or a disappointment, and a sense of drifting. For the rest of us, Neptune can also bring artistic, musical, and creative expression, increased dreams, and spiritual insights. Watch for really inspired films to come out when Neptune is in Pisces. 

PLUTO is in Capricorn until March 23, 2023. This month Pluto moves from 27 to 28 degrees of Capricorn. He is grinding away in our psyche, bringing up all sorts of difficult psychological issues. You should run to your nearest therapist especially if you have the ascendant or personal planets anywhere from 25 degrees of Capricorn to 0 degrees of Aquarius.  Pluto asks what needs to die in order to be reborn.

Have a great month.

I really enjoyed working with many of you this past year and I wish all of you a peaceful and joyful year.

December 2022 Forecast

Jupiter is the star of the show this month because he is standing still and turning direct and then entering Aries.

Neptune is also active, standing still and turning direct, but he is never the star, he is too shy.

Mercury retrogrades this month starting on the 29^th and stays retrograde until Jan 18, 2023. 

Jupiter has stopped at 29 degrees of Pisces and will enter Aries on Dec. 20.  Jupiter is about optimism and hope. Once in Aries, he will be enthusiastic about exploring new and innovative ways for you to expand your purpose in the world. When planets are stationary, their energy is much more intense.  If you have a birthday from March 20 thru March 23, Jupiter will be on your Sun. You will feel buoyant and full of confidence.

Neptune has stopped at 22 degrees of Pisces and will turn direct on Dec 3^rd. He rules all things metaphysical, shamanic, the other worlds and our spiritual life. Find a secluded place and meditate, you will be amazed at what could come in for you this month. If you have a birthday from March 11 through March 15, you will have Neptune on your Sun.   

 

Dates to Watch:

Note to my Astrology Clients. Use your Planetary Placement and Ascendant Sheet to find if the following transits will have a major impact on you.

Dec 1 – Venus Opposite Mars at 18 degrees of Sagittarius/Gemini. Opposites attract but they don’t always get along. Poor Venus may get her heart broken today. Dear Libra, please avoid hasty actions such as saying “yes” to an Aries. This also holds true if Venus or Mars is prominent in your birth chart. This attraction/aversion can come in today especially if you have Personal Planets (Sun, Mercury, Venus, Mars) or the ascendant from 16 to 20 degrees of Sagittarius or Gemini. 

          Mercury Square Neptune at 22 degrees of Sagittarius/Pisces. You feel your mind is dissolving; you can’t hold onto anything firmly; you keep forgetting things. This aspect can lead to confusion and miscommunication. You could have problems with your cell phone or your email program may start to glitch. This is especially hard on you if you have personal planets or the ascendant from 20 to 24 degrees of Sagittarius or Pisces.

Dec 3 – Neptune turns direct at 22 degrees of Pisces. Neptune rules the fine arts and spirituality. While he was retrograde you may have found it hard to express your inner artist. Now it will be easier to go forward with your creative projects. You will want to daydream and create imaginary scenarios in your mind. Write them down.

Dec 4 – Venus Square Neptune at 22 degrees of Sagittarius/Pisces. You can feel very timid today and that encourages everyone around you to take advantage of you. Speak up and roar! Can you do that? Not if you have personal planets or the ascendant from 20 to 24 Sagittarius or Pisces.

Dec 6 – Mercury Square Jupiter at 29 degrees of Sagittarius/Pisces. Use discretion in your speech today. Don’t blab out secrets of your own or others.  Remember the Buddhist precept of “don’t say anything if it is not true, kind or necessary.” Don’t rely on those who are not reliable.  I’m talking about neighbors and siblings here. Don’t buy anything based on surface appearances; go for value. If you have personal planets or the ascendant from 27 degrees of Sagittarius/Pisces to 2 degrees of Capricorn/Aries, control yourself.

    Mercury enters Capricorn. Mercury is much more reserved here. He turns retrograde on the 29^th and stays retrograde until Jan 18, 2023. He will finally move on to Aquarius on Feb 11, 2023. This is a long time in Capricorn. Those of you with a Capricorn ascendant or the Sun or Mercury in Capricorn will not know if you are coming or going. But, while retrograde he may help you look at some of your dogmatic, controlling behavior. The house that contains Capricorn will experience a shift or maybe a few shifts in thinking. See the Meaning of the Houses here.

Dec 7 – Full Moon at 16 degrees of Gemini. This Full moon is in a conjunction with Mars retrograde. Gemini is about communications, but with Mars, you may not be careful in your speech, instead, you are spitting out bullets. You may feel full of yourself and want to do something reckless. Calm down and wait a few days for this Full Moon to wane a bit. You could get into an argument if you have personal planets or the ascendant from 14 to 18 degrees of Gemini.

Dec 8 – Sun Opposite Mars at 16 degrees of Sagittarius/Gemini. Confrontations and quarrels could erupt today. This is a potentially explosive aspect. You could feel some anger, frustration, or aggression but don’t get drawn into an argument. If you have a delicate subject to discuss with your partner, don’t. Avoid quick decisions if you have personal planets or the ascendant from 14 to 18 degrees of Sagittarius or Gemini.

Dec 9 – Venus Square Jupiter at 29 degrees of Sagittarius/Pisces. This aspect can lead to too much of a good thing -- too much spending, too many sweets. Well, you could have a party today, but you would probably get drunk and fall down the stairs. If you have personal planets or the ascendant from 28 degrees of Sagittarius/Pisces to 2 degrees of Capricorn/Aries, take it easy big fella.

Venus enters Capricorn until Jan 2, 2023. You can finally stick up for yourself when Venus is in Capricorn. No one pushes a Capricorn around. You can maintain a realistic and productive attitude toward relationships and money. What you value now are old solid physical objects. I always knew when I saw antiques and oriental rugs on the floor that I had walked into a Capricorn ascendant home.

Dec 14 – Sun Square Neptune at 22 degrees of Sagittarius/Pisces. You are not seeing things as clearly as you may think. You are very uncertain about your future. Maybe you are too idealistic about your plans. Postpone all major decisions for another time. Take the day off as you won’t accomplish much at work anyway. If you have personal planets or the ascendant from 20 to 24 degrees of Sagittarius or Pisces, you could be deceived by others or deceive yourself.

Dec 17 – Mercury Trine Uranus at 15 Capricorn/Taurus. This is a great aspect.  It is all about being unique and vivacious. It’s about writing, travel, changes in your mental work, and seeing things from a new perspective. You can think outside the box. Maybe you will find a new way to deal with an old problem. Uranus rules new enterprises, friendships, and progress. If you have personal planets from 13 to 17 degrees of Capricorn or Taurus, you are normally very stable and quiet. Well, on this aspect, you can come up with some crazy ideas and shock all your friends. And they thought they knew you!

Dec 20 – Jupiter enters Aries until May 16, 2023. This is a fantastic transit that will give you a year of growth and renewed interest in new ideas and projects. Jupiter dipped into Aries back from May 2022 to Oct 2022. So, you may have started a project back then and lost the energy for it when Jupiter went back into Pisces. Now is the time to recover the enthusiasm for whatever you wanted to accomplish. But! And there is always a “but.” Mars, the ruler of Aries, is the God of war, so we may see an escalation in ongoing conflicts around the world.

Dec 21 – Sun Enters Capricorn until January 20, 2023. During this time you will seek stability and security. Build a firm foundation for your life, especially with your career and finances.

          Sun Square Jupiter at 0 degrees of Capricorn/Aries. Try to be sensible today. Don’t overindulge and don’t promise more than you can deliver. You could find yourself taking on too many projects and getting involved with too many people. It is a good day for socializing or taking on a new educational endeavor to help your mind expand. There could be a few setbacks today in your home or place of business. Just focus on your duties and responsibilities.  Use some self-control. If you have personal planets or the ascendant from 28 degrees of Sagittarius/Pisces to 2 degrees of Capricorn/Aries, try not to get upset by the setbacks today.

Dec 22 – Venus Trine Uranus at 15 Capricorn/Taurus. I love this one.  Venus is beauty and Uranus is about unusual events or people. It’s a good day to try something new. Venus wants to have fun and Uranus wants new and exciting things. Go exploring today. You may find some interesting people right in your neighborhood. It would also be a good idea to go to a place you have never been before; someplace beautiful. If you have personal planets or the ascendant from 13 to 17 degrees of Capricorn or Taurus, you could meet some interesting people today.

Dec 23 – New Moon at 1 degree of Capricorn. It’s time to begin new projects or try new approaches to existing problems. It’s a good time to move on with your life and let go of the job or relationship that was holding you back. This New Moon is squaring Jupiter, so don’t take on too much because Mercury goes retrograde on the 29^th. So go ahead and start something and then review your work when Mercury is retrograde.

Dec 29 – Mercury turns retrograde at 24 degrees of Capricorn until January 18, 2023, when he moves direct at 8 degrees of Capricorn. Look at the house that contains Capricorn. There could be a lot of miscommunications in the areas ruled by that house. It’s good to not try to push anything through during this time. Follow the Tao, “For those who practice not-doing, everything will fall into place”.

          Mercury Conjunct Venus at 24 degrees of Capricorn. This aspect could bring in some good news. Maybe you are invited to a wedding. This is also a good aspect for study, especially in the arts. If you have personal planets or the ascendant from 22 to 26 degrees of Capricorn, look forward to traveling or winning favors from others.

 

OUTER PLANET TRANSITS:

JUPITER is in Pisces until December 20. He will move from 23 Pisces to 1 degree of Aries. He is the big fat happy guy who is excessive in all things. He may ponder the meaning of life while he is in Pisces, but in Aries, he wants to get out, throw out the metaphysical books and start bossing everyone around. Jupiter will be in Aries until May 16, 2023. Look to the house in your birth chart that contains Aries. After the 20^th of this month, the areas of life ruled by that house will become more active.

SATURN is in Aquarius until March 2023. This month he moves from 19 to 22 degrees of Aquarius. Saturn rules our material world, and especially our career. Saturn is the old traditional ruler of Aquarius. So he is happy here. If you have the ascendant or any personal planets from 17 to 24 degrees of Aquarius, you may be in store for some hard lessons around the issues ruled by the planet and the house the planet is in. While Saturn is in Aquarius, he will run around trying to restrict social media that he will call fake news. He hates to see freedom of expression which is what Aquarius is all about.

URANUS is in Taurus until Apr 2026. He is moving retrograde and will move from 16 degrees to 15 degrees of Taurus this month. This is the time to break loose and make some radical changes in your life. I believe in ‘cooperating with the inevitable'. If you have Uranus in a challenging aspect to your ascendant or personal planets, (14 to 17 degrees of Taurus or Scorpio) go on a long vacation, preferably to somewhere you have never been before. Or make some major changes in your life. Taurus is the earth. Expect earth events in farming, food, earthquakes, volcanos or major weather changes while Uranus is in Taurus.

NEPTUNE (creativity, sensitivity, escapism, dreams) is in Pisces until 2026. This month he turns direct on December 3 and will stay at 22 degrees of Pisces all month. If you have the ascendant or personal planets from 20 to 24 degrees of Pisces, you may lack focus during this time and just want to daydream. Beware of a betrayal, or a disappointment, and a sense of drifting. For the rest of us, Neptune can also bring artistic, musical, and creative expression, increased dreams, and spiritual insights. Watch for really inspired films to come out when Neptune is in Pisces. 

PLUTO is in Capricorn until March 23, 2023. This month Pluto moves from 26 to 27 degrees of Capricorn. He is grinding away in our psyche, bringing up all sorts of difficult psychological issues. You should run to your nearest therapist especially if you have the ascendant or personal planets from 24 to 29 degrees of Capricorn. Pluto asks what needs to die in order to be reborn?

Have a great month and enjoy the Holidays.

November 2022 Forecast

You will receive this newsletter, amid two eclipses. Read my eclipse report here.

This month we have the second of the eclipses and it’s a doozy, a Total Lunar Eclipse on the 8^th at 14 Taurus/Scorpio. This is on the US midterm elections and will bring shocks and confusion.  But this eclipse will not only affect the US.  I’m sorry to have to reveal to you that the US is not the most important country in the world.  Eclipses affect the entire globe.

Because I like puzzles, I am trying to guess what could shake up the whole world from this eclipse.  I think what may cause an earthquake in the collective is a revelation made on Oct 10, 2022, when a Pfizer spokesperson at the European Parliament admitted that the company's COVID-19 vaccine was "never tested on preventing transmission”.  This is a bombshell. This brings into question the use of COVID passports and mask mandates.  Big Pharma is immune to lawsuits but federal, county, and city government, agencies such as the WHO, FDA, and CDC are not protected. Lawsuits are starting. I can hear the rumble.  People lost jobs because they weren’t vaccinated, and some couldn’t visit their dying relatives in hospitals. Many people lost educational opportunities, and restaurants were from a lack of income. There were many other restrictions that we all lived under.  This is causing a lot of anger out there.  Stay tuned on this one.

                                    ------------------

Most of the planets this month are stopping or forming aspects at 13 to 20 degrees of Scorpio, Taurus, and to a lesser degree Aquarius.  If you have a birthday from May 4^th to May 11, Nov 6 to Nov 13^th, or Feb 3 to Feb 10, the first half of the month may be a little squirrelly.

                                    ---------------------

Now for some good news.  On Nov 23^rd, the new Moon is in Sagittarius and is conjunct Mercury and Venus in Sagittarius.  Plus, Jupiter, the ruler of Sagittarius is stopping in the sky to turn direct.  It just doesn’t get any better than this. There will be a collective sigh of relief. This energy will be in effect for one month.  Even though the Lunar Eclipse is still operating, we will look at the positive side of the circumstances resulting from the Lunar Eclipse.

Other potential good news is that Mars, the God of War, is now moving retrograde until the 12^th of January 2023.  I see this as a potential for peace in the Ukraine/Russian conflict.

 

Dates to Watch:

Note to my Astrology Clients. Use your Planetary Placement and Ascendant Sheet to find if the following transits will have a major impact on you.

Nov 5 – Venus Opposite Uranus at 17 degrees Scorpio/Taurus. Someone in your family is snooping around trying to find out about your plans.  If you have personal planets (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus Mars) or the ascendant at 15 to 19 Scorpio or Taurus be polite.  Your nosy relatives may want to help you with something.

Nov 6 – Daylight Saving Time ends at 2 AM

Nov 7 – Venus Square Saturn at 18 degrees of Scorpio/Aquarius.  You are totally pessimistic today.  You don’t believe anyone or anything.  That may be good.  Don’t be irritable or belligerent toward cranks on social media because they are lying to you. That’s what they do. Try to lighten up if you have personal planets or the ascendant at 16 to 20 degrees of Scorpio or Aquarius.

Nov 8 – Full Moon, Lunar Eclipse at 16 Taurus.  This is an utterly confusing eclipse.  It includes shocks (Uranus) misinformation (Mercury), a peacemaker (Venus) and obstacles/restrictions (Saturn). I searched YouTube for other professional astrologers’ opinions and guess what?   They can’t figure it out either.

            Sun Conjunct Mercury at 15 degrees of Scorpio.  You are mentally alert today.  But alert to what?  Maybe it’s all of those demons surrounding you.  We are in Scorpio season after all.  If you have personal planets or the ascendant at 13 to 17 degrees of Scorpio, you are mentally alert enough to become paranoid.

            Mercury Opposite Uranus at 16 degrees of Scorpio/Taurus. You start shooting your mouth off today and get entangled in arguments. Taurus and Scorpio are fixed signs so no one wants to back off.  If Stay home if you have personal planets or the ascendant at 14 to 18 Scorpio/Taurus because you may not behave.

Nov 9 – Sun Opposite Uranus at 16 Degrees of Scorpio/Taurus. This is another cranky aspect.  Someone could come in and try to tell you what to do with your life.  Stay calm. Smile and realize they don’t know what they are talking about.  If you have personal planets or the ascendant at 14 to 18 degrees of Scorpio/Taurus, you may be the cranky one.

Nov 10 – Mercury Square Saturn at 18 degrees Scorpio/Aquarius.  This is another aspect of being at loggerheads with someone. Find some important work to do today – alone. If you have personal planets or the ascendant at 16 to 20 degrees of Scorpio or Aquarius, stay calm.

            Venus Trine Neptune at 22 Scorpio/Pisces. Why don’t you decorate your home or rearrange the furniture?  Your artistic sense is inspired. You could have beautiful dreams tonight.  Get out the paint brushes if you have personal planets or the ascendant at 20 to 24 degrees of Scorpio or Pisces.

Nov 11 – Sun Square Saturn at 18 Scorpio/Aquarius. Don’t speculate or take risks today.  Saturn loves to crush your ego. He hates to see anyone having a good time. Go ahead and sulk if you have personal planets or the ascendant at 16 to 20 degrees of Scorpio or Aquarius.

Nov 12 - Mercury Trine Neptune at 22 degrees of Scorpio/Pisces. This brings in successful correspondence and interviews that bring you happiness and satisfaction.  You could get good news from abroad. You can do some inspired writing today if you have personal planets or the ascendant at 20 to 24 degrees of Scorpio or Pisces.

Nov 14 – Sun Trine Neptune at 22 degrees of Scorpio/Pisces. This aspect can bring in romance, love, friendship, and all the good stuff. People will support you because of your high ideals. Reach for the heights if you have personal planets or the ascendant at 20 to 24 degrees of Scorpio or Pisces.

Nov 15 – Venus Trine Jupiter at 28 degrees of Scorpio/Pisces. If you’re looking for salvation from difficult aspects look toward Jupiter. You could receive a gift because of a favor that you extended to a friend in the past.  This aspect favors all relationships. Take a break today if you have personal planets or the ascendant at 26 degrees of Scorpio to 0 degrees of Sagittarius or 26 degrees of Pisces to 0 degrees of Aries.

Nov 16 – Venus enters Sagittarius until Dec 9. Venus wants love and security, but Sagittarius wants freedom.  What to do?  Why don’t you go on a trip with your significant other?  That might satisfy this cycle of Venus.

            Mercury Trine Jupiter at 28 Degrees of Scorpio/Pisces.   You could find an interesting job or project that even pays well.  It’s best if the work is intellectually stimulating and related to writing, speaking or teaching.  Go ahead and wax eloquent if you have personal planets or the ascendant at 26 Scorpio to 0 Sagittarius or 26 Pisces to 0 Aries.

Nov 17 – Mercury enters Sagittarius until Dec 6.  Mercury is the way we communicate.  Jupiter rules Sagittarius.  We could really talk too much and/or exaggerate.  During this time you will love hyperbole and extravagant gestures.

Nov 19 – Mars Square Neptune at 22 Gemini/Pisces. Be careful who you talk to today.  Don’t give away important information. The person could be a spy. Or they may use this information to your detriment. Keep a tight lip especially if you have personal planets or the ascendant at 20 to 24 Gemini or Pisces.

Nov 20 – Sun Trine Jupiter at 28 degrees of Scorpio/Pisces.  This aspect brings in financial and educational opportunities.  If you have doubts about your abilities in the past, due to Saturn sitting on you from current transits, this aspect could give you self-confidence. Now, don’t get too confident if you have personal planets or the ascendant at 26 of Scorpio to 0 Sagittarius or 26 Pisces to 0 Aries.

Nov 21 – Mercury Conjunct Venus at 5 degrees of Sagittarius. You want to communicate with your friends about art and love.  You could receive important communications from someone you are attached to or could become attached to.  Try not to sweet talk everyone if you have personal planets or the ascendant at 3 to 7 degrees of Sagittarius.

Nov 22 – Sun enters Sagittarius until Dec 21.  It’s playtime. Finally, we can shake off the scary spider webs and escape from the ghosts that were hanging around.

Nov 23 – Jupiter turns Direct at 28 degrees of Pisces.  He will be in Pisces until Dec 20 when he moves into Aries. On this day while he is stationary and about to turn, he will send healing optimistic beams to all of us.  Do something fun today.

            New Moon at 01 Sagittarius.   This starts a month where we can become more optimistic, enthusiastic, adventurous, outspoken and independent.  But try not to go overboard this coming month.

Nov 24 – Thanksgiving Day. 

Nov 28 – Mars Trine Saturn at 19 degrees of Gemini/Aquarius.  This is a good time to tackle a job that requires your expertise and skill.  It’s time to get some quality work done especially if you have personal planets or the ascendant at 17 to 21 degrees of Gemini or Aquarius.

Nov 29 – Mercury Opposite Mars at 19 degrees of Sagittarius/Gemini.  You could be quick on the trigger with your words.  Try to understand others' points of view.  Otherwise, you could offend the feelings of the people around you. You could have a battle of wits if you have personal planets or the ascendant at 17 to 21 degrees of Sagittarius or Gemini.

 

OUTER PLANET TRANSITS:

JUPITER backed into Pisces from Aries on Oct 29, 2022. This month he stays at 29 Pisces and turns direct on Nov 23. He is the big fat happy guy who was excessive in all things.  Jupiter can expand our experiences, our knowledge, and our confidence.  In Pisces, he wants to expand our knowledge of the hidden world, ancestors, ghosts, and metaphysics.  It’s a good time to become a shaman. If you have personal planets or the ascendant between 27 Pisces and 1 degree of Aries expect expansion and blossoming in that area of your chart.

SATURN is in Aquarius until March 2023.  This month he moves from 18 to 19 Aquarius. Saturn rules our material world, and especially our career.  Saturn is the old traditional ruler of Aquarius.  So he is happy here.  If you have the ascendant or any personal planets 16 to 21 degrees of Aquarius, you may be in store for some hard lessons around the issues ruled by the planet and the house the planet is in or rules. While Saturn is in Aquarius, he will run around trying to restrict social media that he will call fake news.  He hates to see freedom of expression which is what Aquarius is all about.

URANUS is in Taurus until Apr 2026.  Is moving retrograde and he will move from 17 degrees to 16 degrees of Taurus this month.  This is the time to break loose and make some radical changes in your life. I believe in cooperating with the inevitable.  If you have Uranus in a challenging aspect to your ascendant or personal planets, (16 to 19 degrees of Taurus or Scorpio) go on a long vacation, preferably to somewhere you have never been before.  Or make some major changes in your life. Taurus is the earth.  Expect earth events in farming, food, earthquakes volcanos or major weather events during the period that Uranus is in Taurus.

NEPTUNE (creativity, sensitivity, escapism, dreams) is in Pisces until 2026. Neptune is retrograde this month and will stay at 22 degrees of Pisces.  A lack of focus, a sense of drifting, or an inability to see a betrayal or disappointment until it's too late can be experienced by those of you with the ascendant or Personal Planets at 20 to 24 degrees of Pisces or Virgo. For the enlightened out there, Neptune can also bring artistic, musical, and creative expression, increased dreams, and spiritual insights. Watch for really inspired films to come out when Neptune is in Pisces. 

PLUTO is in Capricorn until 2023.  This month, Pluto will stay at 26 degrees of Capricorn.  He is grinding away at our psyche bringing up all sorts of difficult psychological nonsense. You should run to your nearest therapist especially if you have the ascendant or personal planets at 24 to 28 degrees of Capricorn.   What needs to die in order to be reborn?

Have a great month and a Happy Thanksgiving.

Eclipses in October and November 2022

The first eclipse on October 25 is a Solar Eclipse in the sign of Scorpio.  The second eclipse on November 8 is a Lunar Eclipse in the sign of Taurus. The ancients believed that during an eclipse, ‘the mighty will fall.’ They bring endings and beginnings as in births and deaths. The energy from an eclipse can last up to six months and can also become active a month before the actual eclipse.

For instance, the last Solar Eclipse on April 30, 2022, was in a conjunction with Neptune and Jupiter.  Neptune.  Here is what I wrote at that time, Since Neptune rules oil and water among other things, this could mean higher oil prices and flooding. These things did not manifest on the day of the eclipse but happened later.

We will have eclipses on the Taurus/Scorpio axis of the zodiac for the next year.  So this denotes a cycle of change that relates to our values, our possessions (Taurus), and our ability to regenerate our lives (Scorpio). 

 

Solar Eclipse on October 25 at 2 degrees of Scorpio

This partial solar eclipse will be visible from Europe, the Urals, and Western Siberia, Central Asia, and Western Asia, and from the northeast of Africa.

Solar Eclipses tend to relate to sudden events that disrupt our day-to-day functioning; they are the crisis that seems to come out of nowhere and that suddenly demands all of our conscious attention and focus. They tend to stir things up on a physical and conscious level much more than Lunar Eclipses.

A Solar Eclipse is a powerful new moon so make plans for the future. Set your intentions during this eclipse around Scorpio themes – obsessions, compulsions, regeneration, and transformation. The day of the eclipse and six months following this eclipse is an ideal time to deal with and make a fresh start in all of these Scorpio areas.

This Solar eclipse is conjunct Venus, the planet of art, beauty, harmony, diplomacy, and love.  Is there a peace process in place for the war in Ukraine?  Hopefully, this eclipse could bring one about.

This Solar Eclipse is right on Vladimir Putin’s Ascendant at 3 degrees of Scorpio. This represents a loss of face and a change in how others see him.  In my clients’ charts, an eclipse on the ascendant brings in a move or a change of job, or both. The last eclipse on April 30, 2022, was opposite Putin’s Venus which shows a loss of popularity.  He doesn’t feel loved. When eclipses come in and aspect personal planets and the ascendant, major changes can come into a person’s life.

This eclipse is opposite King Charles’ Moon.  You can read about that in my King Charles article here

 

Lunar Eclipse on Nov 8 at 16 degrees of Taurus

This eclipse will be visible from Asia, Australia, North America, parts of northern and eastern Europe, and most of South America.

In Taurus, this eclipse will bring about a focus on your values and on banking, property, housing, land, food production, and farming. We crave security with an eclipse in Taurus.

On a Lunar Eclipse, something will end and on a Solar Eclipse, something will begin. A Lunar Eclipse is an opportunity to break habits or eliminate socially conditioned patterns of thoughts and behaviors that stand in the way of self-realization. 

A Lunar Eclipse can make us more aware of our emotional habits and our unconscious motivations. This period of time can bring up old memories and feelings.  Full moon eclipses can bring completion to projects in which you have been involved. The Sun opposite the Moon lights up the Moon and brings previously unexamined areas of your life into awareness. Repressed energies emerge for confrontation and resolution.  Pay attention to your dreams. Lunar Eclipses are more emotional than Solar Eclipses.  Lunar Eclipses shine a light on things of which we weren’t aware.

This Lunar Eclipse is very complex because of the many other planets that it is aspecting. One of the major aspects is a square to Saturn and a conjunction with Uranus.  Hopefully, this is the last hurrah, of the Saturn/Uranus square that we have experienced all through 2021. Uranus promotes change and Saturn resists it.

This eclipse is on the day of the United States election.   I know astrology, but I know little about politics. From what I can glean from the aspects on this day, there may be a conflict because the Uranus types will want to throw the bums out and start over and the Saturn types will want to stay with the devil they know.  Mercury is involved in this eclipse also and he rules ballots.  Mercury, the trickster, could cause some confusion in the balloting. Venus is also involved and she rules harmony. Maybe some woman (Venus) will try to keep things calm during the voting process on that day, but she will be trumped (excuse the expression) by Saturn square Uranus.  I can’t predict the results except Election Day will be a mess and some of the mix-ups may not be untangled for 6 months or more.

 

How will these eclipses affect you?

Note to my Astrology Clients.  Use your Planetary Placement and Ascendant Sheet to find if the following eclipses will have a major impact on you.  Or, you can also email me for a coaching session on how these eclipses will impact your chart.  See Coaching under Services here

Eclipses are contrary to the status quo. If impacted by one of these eclipses, your life will not run on the usual track.  But that can be a good thing. Some view eclipses as release and renewal points.  If your birthday falls on or is close to the date of an eclipse your life will change dramatically in the months and years ahead.

Sometimes eclipses get triggered after they occur so events can come in after the eclipse, especially within 6 months. The Sun will trigger the Solar Eclipse on April 23, 2023. and Mars will trigger the Lunar Eclipse on Aug 12 and 13^th of 2022. Look for events relating to the eclipses on these dates.

An eclipse tends to emphasize matters related to the house it falls in on your natal chart and what planets it conjuncts or opposes.  The areas ruled by the houses or planets will demand more energy and time from you, at least until the next eclipses in April and May of 2023.   Eclipses open doors and invite you to come in, illuminating and stimulating areas of your life that need your attention.

Remember that planetary energies are archetypal and archetypes can be expressed in many different ways. It’s really based on your consciousness and how you decide to work with these energies.

 

The Solar Eclipse on Oct 25 at 2 degrees of Scorpio will affect you if you have personal planets (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, and/or Mars) or the ascendant at 0 to 4 degrees of Taurus or Scorpio.  Also, look at your natal chart for the houses that contain 2 degrees of Taurus or Scorpio.  It may mean the end of one set of circumstances and the beginning of another in that area of your life.

 

The Lunar Eclipse of Nov 8 at 16 degrees of Taurus will affect you if you have personal planets or the ascendant at 14 to 18 degrees of Scorpio or Taurus.  Also, look at your natal chart for the 2 houses that hold 16 degrees of Scorpio and/or Taurus.  This eclipse will stir up events related to those houses. What are your values, do you own your possessions, or do they own you; what can you let go of, and what needs to be reborn?

Some eclipses repeat every 19 years.  The Lunar Eclipse of Nov 8 is a repeat of a lunar eclipse at 16 Taurus back on Nov 9, 2003.  Look back to what happened then. This Lunar Eclipse will continue a theme that was playing out at that time

October 2022 Forecast

First, I want to offer up a prayer for those in Florida impacted by the hurricane and for those doing the rescue work.

                                                                

Last month I told you not to take Mercury retrograde so seriously and because of my newfound enlightened idea about Mercury Retrograde, I decided to go on a road trip the day on the day Mercury turned retrograde. (The very worst time in the retrograde cycle.)  We planned to stop at a restaurant in Delaware that I had found on Google and spent about 45 minute’s looking for it in the pouring rain.  All the time my husband and I are snapping at each other, “the GPS isn’t working, google doesn’t lie, it should be right here” Then we finally realized it didn’t exist --it does exist in Maryland.  We were in the wrong state! Then because of the downpour we were driving through, we were late getting to our destination at Fenwick Island.  In ancient Greece, the gods never blamed Hermes (Mercury) for deceiving people, instead, they just laughed at everyone who fell for his tricks. Throughout the drive, I could hear the gods laughing at us.

October will be an interesting month because we have four planets changing directions and an eclipse at the end of the month.  This can be a good month for you if you have felt stuck because things could begin to turn around.

The four planets changing direction are:

Mercury turns direct on Oct 2 at 24 Virgo - Communications could improve.

Pluto turns direct on Oct 8 at 26 Capricorn – Some relief from intense power struggles.

Saturn turns direct on Oct 23 at 18 Aquarius.  Restrictions could ease, both in the outer world and in your personal life.

Mars turns retrograde on Oct 30 at 19 Gemini. You become deeper and more cautious in your communications.

AND:  The Saturn-Uranus square is in a tight orb this month. This creates a lot of friction since Uranus promotes change and Saturn resists it. We had that square in February, June, and December of last year. It symbolized all of the tension we felt throughout 2021. 

 

Dates to Watch:

Note to my Astrology Clients. Use your Planetary Placement and Ascendant Sheet to find if the following transits will have a major impact on you.

Oct 1 – Venus Opposite Jupiter at 3 Aries.  This can result in too much of a good thing.  Pints of ice cream can disappear in a flash. You get carried away on Amazon.com ordering fancy clothes you won’t wear because you really have nowhere to go.  Control yourself, especially if you have personal planets (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, and Mars or the ascendant at 1 to 5 Aries or Libra.

Oct 2 – Mercury turns direct at 24 Virgo. You think that communications will flow now and that you can go forward with your plans.  But Mercury is just finishing up an opposition to Neptune so you may forget what you were going to say and where you were going.  Wait a few days or a week before signing anything of importance. Catch up on your old emails if you have personal planets or the ascendant at 22 to 26 Virgo or Pisces.

Oct 6 – Mercury Trine Pluto at 26 Virgo/Capricorn. This is positive energy for getting a lot of work done. This is a time to declutter and eliminate the unnecessary stuff in your personal life. Especially get busy if you have personal planets or the ascendant at 24 to 28 Virgo or Capricorn.

Oct 8 – Pluto turns direct at 26 Capricorn.  When an outer planet changes direction, its energy is strong than usual.  So the 3 days around this date, Plutonic energy will be at its peak. We may experience intense feelings and events in the outer world could affect us at a deep level. We may feel a need to let go of old emotional patterns so that we can create space for a new emotional life to grow.  Pluto is on his way to Aquarius in March 2023.  No more retrogrades while he is in Capricorn. Pluto will begin his process here of churning up and purging the banking system and the large corporate systems.  Remember when he first entered Capricorn in 2008, we had a stock market crash. The U.S. has its natal Pluto at 27 Capricorn in the 2nd house of money so the death and rebirth of our money system will start to speed up. Pluto has a long tail so even when he goes into Aquarius, we will still feel the effects of this.  If you have personal planets or the ascendant at 24 to 28 Capricorn, be ready for a reckoning around your career, responsibility, and material possession in your life.  Look for the house in your birth chart that contains Capricorn.  This is the area that may experience a total overhaul.  See the Meaning of the houses here

Oct 9 – Full Moon at 16 degrees of Libra/Aries.  This New Moon is conjunct Venus at 13 Libra and Jupiter is in Aries.  So this is a very positive lunation.  It is also in a sextile to Saturn and Mars.  This is probably the best lunation for the rest of the year.  Venus means it is a good time to work on relationships.  With an opposition, you can see what needs to be done to mend any relationship problems you may have.  The Moon is in Aries so things could start to move fast and we could become overly abrupt in our conversations with others.

Oct 10 – Mercury enters Libra until Oct 29. Mercury is what we think about and how we perceive reality.  During this time, we may see the world through rose-colored glasses.  It’s all good, we need the break.

Oct 11 – Sun Trines Saturn at 18 Libra/Aquarius.  This brings in an increased sense of responsibility.  Social and romantic relationships can be renewed.   You are more concerned with long-range goals and objectives. You want to put your creative ideas into practical manifestation.   In other words, get serious if you have personal planets or the ascendant at 16 to 20 degrees of Libra or Aquarius.

Oct 12 – Mars Square Neptune at 23 Gemini/Pisces.  This aspect can be about suppressed anger or secret actions and desires that could lead to self-destruction. There could be deceptions in your business and personal affairs.  Stay alert if you have personal planets or the ascendant at 21 to 25 Gemini or Pisces.

          Mercury Opposite Jupiter at 1 degree of Virgo and Pisces.  This is a repeat of the same aspect on Sep 1.  Were you a little loud and obnoxious on that one? Well, you may not have learned anything if you have personal planets or the ascendant at 29 Leo to 3 Virgo or 29 Aquarius to 3 Pisces.

Oct 14 – Venus Trine Saturn at 18 Libra/Aquarius. This aspect can lead to a serious interest in art and music.  It also favors architects, designers, and those working with antiques.  This aspect is also good for business dealings.  This can bring a calm peaceful, emotional attitude.  Take on some responsibility if you have personal planets or the ascendant at 16 to 20 Libra or Aquarius as it will be easier than before.

Oct 17 – Sun Trine Mars at 24 Libra/Gemini.  This brings increased energy, courage, and self-confidence.  This aspect could get you started working on your ideas and goals.  This is also good for working out and any kind of sports activity. Because this aspect is in the social gabby signs of Libra and Gemini, you may just waste this opportunity on social media texting your so-called friends especially if you have personal planets or the ascendant at 22 to 26 Libra or Gemini.

Oct 18 – Venus Trine Mars at 24 Libra/Gemini.  A very good aspect combining energy with romance, love, and art.  This is very good for creative action. It’s also excellent for actors, musicians, and performing artists.  Enjoy this especially if you have personal planets or the ascendant at 22 to 26 Libra/Gemini.

Oct 19 – Sun Square Pluto at 26 Libra/Capricorn. This aspect could lead to power struggles, especially around business and joint finances.  There could be aggression from someone and they could completely upset your life.  Be cautious of who you trust on this one especially if you have personal planets or the ascendant at 24 to 28 Libra Capricorn.

Oct 20 – Venus Square Pluto at 26 Libra/Capricorn.  Someone could really tear you apart on this one.  Watch out for Vampires and even the Wolf Man.  This will affect your personal life.  Are you married to a psychopath?  Sorry, can’t help you. This could have a major impact on your relationships if you have personal planets or the ascendant at 24 to 26 Libra or Capricorn.

Oct 22 – Sun Conjunct Venus at 28 Libra. This is a happy, friendly day. Have a party.  There could be good contacts with women especially if you have personal planets or the ascendant at 26 to 28 degrees of Libra or 0 degrees of Scorpio.

          Mercury Trine Saturn at 18 Libra/Capricorn.  A good day to improve your discipline, study habits, health, diet, and business and professional affairs.  I know it doesn’t sound like much fun, but it’s Saturn, he can’t help it.  He wants you to get specialized training and to work your way up.  To where? I don’t know.  If you have personal planets or the ascendant at 16 to 20 Libra or Capricorn, get busy.

Oct 23 – Saturn turns direct at 18 Aquarius. Saturn has been retrograde since June 4, 2022.  When he moves direct it represents a turning point in Saturn’s energy.  He rules your material life, career, your discipline, and your responsibilities. Saturn gets the work done. If you have personal planets or the ascendant at 16 to 20 degrees of Aquarius, you can now move forward in our plans for more material security.

          Venus Enters Scorpio until 17 Nov.  This is a favorable time to deal with finances and partnerships.  Your artistic interests and social and romantic involvements may be linked in some way. Venus is about friendship and love and Scorpio is about passion.  Don’t let your strong feelings impact your judgment.

Sun Enters Scorpio until 22 Nov. Scorpio is the sign of desire, depth, passion, intensity, and extremes in feeling.  Being superficial and giddy will not work for you during this time.  Instead, try to get to the bottom of matters, especially things that are hidden or taboo.

Oct 25 – New Moon Solar Eclipse at 2 Scorpio.  This is the most important feature of the month.  It could open a new chapter in your life depending on where it falls in your birth chart. Being in Scorpio, something in our past may be resolved, creating space for something new to come in. It is in a conjunction with Venus, there could be a rebirth of the heart. There will be more information on this and the eclipse on Nov 8 in the eclipse report that I will send out next week.

Oct 26 – Mercury Trine Mars at 25 Libra/Gemini.  Try out some new exercise routines.  These will help your body and your mind now.  It’s also a good day for positive discussions. Enjoy if you have personal planets or the ascendant at 23 to 27 Libra/Gemini.

Oct 27 – Mercury Square Pluto at 26 Libra/Capricorn. Just because you are paranoid, it doesn’t mean someone isn’t out to get you. You are very suspicious, and love peeking out from the curtains, spying on your neighbors.  Cut it out, it’s only Pluto. He gets you running scared.  Do the positive Pluto instead.   Discard your old outworn, archaic ideas and radically change your viewpoint. Can you do that?  I don’t think so if you have personal planets or the ascendant at 24 to 28 Libra/Capricorn.

Oct 28 – Jupiter backs up into Pisces until January 2023. Jupiter entered Pisces back in May 2021 but moved into Aries in May of this year.  That was the first time Jupiter had been in Aries for 12 years. Now that he is back in Pisces, we can revisit some Pisces themes, such as imagination, compassion, sensitivity, and the arts.  What didn’t you finish when Jupiter was in Pisces?  Do it now. When he gets back into Aries, we will start fighting for our rights or fighting each other

Oct 29 – Mercury enters Scorpio until Nov 17.  It’s time for a straight, honest talk with others and yourself. You become interested in investigating occult themes and mysterious phenomena.  Communication with the dead is possible.  Or you may play it safe and just deal with your financial portfolio (if you have one) at this time.  It’s also a good time to do some cognitive therapy.  You have realized for a long time that your cognitive faculties are a little skewed.  Work on that now.

Oct 30 – Mars turns retrograde at 25 Gemini.  Mars rules our energy levels and our ability to take action.  Now we may notice it is more difficult to get motivated. Your get up and go, got up and went.  Because the sign is Gemini, this is important for authors. You could look back at the 2,000 words you have written in the last few months and realize they are crap.  Sorry, but it happens. 

Oct 31 – Are you envious of Scorpios?  If so, put on a real frightening mask and go to a Halloween party. See if you can scare anyone.

 

OUTER PLANET TRANSITS:

JUPITER entered Aries on May 1, 2022 and will stay in Aries until Oct 29, 2022, when he backs into Pisces.  This month he is retrograde and will travel from 3 Aries to 29 Pisces  Jupiter in Aries is about taking the lead in our life. He is the big fat happy guy who was excessive in all things.  Jupiter also can expand our experiences, our knowledge, and our confidence.  If you have personal planets or the ascendant between 27 Pisces and 1 degree of Aries expect expansion and blossoming in that area of your chart.

SATURN is in Aquarius until March 2023.  He is retrograde until Oct 23and will stay at 18 degrees all month.  Saturn rules our material world, and especially our career.  Saturn is the old traditional ruler of Aquarius.  So he is happy here.  If you have the ascendant or any personal planets 16 to 20 degrees of Aquarius, you may be in store for some hard lessons around the issues ruled by the planet and the house the planet is in or rules. While Saturn is in Aquarius, he will run around trying to restrict all of the social media that he will call fake news.  He hates to see freedom of expression which is what Aquarius is all about.

URANUS is in Taurus until Apr 2026.  Uranus turned retrograde on August 24 and he will move from 18 degrees to 17 degrees of Taurus this month.  This is the time to break loose and make some radical changes in your life. I believe in ‘cooperating with the inevitable’.  If you have Uranus in a challenging aspect to your ascendant or personal planets, (16 to 19 degrees of Taurus or Scorpio) go on a long vacation, preferably to somewhere you have never been before.  Or make some major changes in your life. Taurus is the earth.  Expect earth events such as farming, food, earthquakes volcanos or major weather events during the period that Uranus is in Taurus.

NEPTUNE (creativity, sensitivity, escapism, dreams) is in Pisces until 2026. Neptune is retrograde this month and will move from 23 to 22 degrees of Pisces.  A lack of focus, a sense of drifting, or an inability to see a betrayal or disappointment until it's too late can be experienced by those of you with the ascendant or Personal Planets at 20 to 25 degrees of Pisces or Virgo. For the enlightened out there, Neptune can also bring artistic, musical, creative expression, increased dreams, and spiritual insights. Watch for some really inspired films to come out when Neptune is in Pisces. 

PLUTO is in Capricorn until 2023.  This month, Pluto is moving retrograde until Oct 8 and will stay at 26 degrees of Capricorn all month.  He is grinding away in our psyche bringing up all sorts of difficult psychological crap. You should run to your nearest therapist especially if you have the ascendant or personal planets at 24 to 28 degrees of Capricorn.   What needs to die in order to be reborn?

My Thoughts on King Charles III Birth Chart

When an important person enters the world stage, I try not to take a peek at the birth chart because I can get obsessed.  Also, I have other things to do which include working on birth charts.  But with King Charles I couldn’t resist, so here are some of my thoughts.

First a disclaimer: I don’t believe in looking at a birth chart without the person sitting in front of me to give feedback.  I don’t know King Charles as we don’t really run in the same circles. As Robert Hand, a Master Astrologer said, “You don’t know how much consciousness was pumped into the chart.”

King Charles III has the Sun in Scorpio, the Moon in Taurus, and the ascendant in Leo. Knowing these three points in the chart can give us 85% of the information we need to understand the total personality.  All three of these important signs in Charles’ chart are in the fixed modality.  Fixed signs are good if you want someone who will stay in the job and do the same thing day after day and not get bored.  It’s good to have at least one fixed sign of the three in our birth chart.  But Charles has all three. Having too many fixed signs can indicate stubbornness, and rigidity and become stuck in the old ways.

His chart is very similar to his Mom’s-- Queen Elizabeth II who had the Sun in Taurus, Moon in Leo and Capricorn ascendant.  Both had Leo, the sign of royalty in their charts. Elizabeth’s Leo side was more hidden, Charles is right out there where you can see it.

The Queen was a Taurus, also a fixed sign like Charles. But there is a difference between Taurus and Scorpio even though they are both fixed. Taurus is an earth sign and doesn’t easily display emotions. Scorpio on the other hand is a water sign and is much more emotional and touchy-feely than Taurus.

The big difference between them is their rising signs.  Charles’ ascendant is in the friendly extroverted sign of Leo and Queen Elizabeth had an introverted sign of Capricorn and tradition. The Rising sign is what we show the world. Because the queen’s rising sign was an introverted sign, she didn’t give many speeches or interviews.  King Charles with Leo rising, an extroverted sign, will be much more public.

Sun in Scorpio

In my opinion, Scorpio has the greatest growth potential of all the signs. We know this because Scorpio has three symbols associated with it, while the other signs only have one.  The first symbol is the Scorpion which can really sting if angered.  Scorpios can be deadly enemies. The next symbol on the spiral is the snake that sheds its skin.  Scorpios can let the old self die in order to be reborn. The last symbol is the eagle or the phoenix that can soar above all things and look down on all of the struggles and challenges of mankind.  Some Scorpios can reach spiritual heights.

Scorpio is all about power. It is the sign of the Mafioso boss.  That means that Scorpios need to learn how to use power in the right way. All Scorpios are born with this task. They usually have a powerful position, whether it’s a teacher, a nurse or a psychotherapist.

In Charles’ chart, there’s a conflict between Scorpio who wants to remain hidden and wield power behind the throne and Leo who wants to be seen.  Scorpio is water, Leo is Fire and his Moon in Taurus is earth.  I have noticed so many times that a child will have the Moon in the same sign as the mother’s Sun sign.  It means that there is close compatibility.  He perceives his mother as a Taurus and she was a Taurus Sun. He understood her.

Ascendant or Rising Sign is Leo

With Charles’ ascendant in Leo, he will be more accessible and will play the role of King very well.  Leo rules Royalty. Others will respond to him because the ascendant is how others see us.

In Jungian terms, the ascendant is the persona or the mask we wear. Sometimes we can get stuck in our persona and only live through that one sign.   Also, sometimes we can ‘wallow” in the moon and stay the baby only interested in our emotional needs defined by the Moon sign.  It can be difficult to grow into and embody all three signs in our chart.  That is the task we all share.  Sometimes we live out one sign of the three for years and then live out another. 

Moon in Taurus

King Charles’ Moon is in Taurus. The Moon represents one's emotional need. This need may be hidden but powerful. Our goals and aims in this life could be overthrown because our emotional needs are not being satisfied. The Moon is exalted in Taurus. It’s the best placement for the Moon because the Moon signifies our emotional nature and Taurus is a very earthy stable sign.  Charles can be a rock in times of trouble. Charles’ emotional need is for stability. Taurus rules the earth, so he may have an emotional need to heal the environment. Queen Elizabeth’s Moon was in Leo, an emotional need to rule

 

Challenging Natal Aspects in the Birth Chart of King Charles III

While we are trying to develop a lifestyle, vocation, and relationships that will satisfy all of the three signs, sometimes, we are thrown for a loop by our challenging natal aspects. They represent our psychological complexes.  So while making a deep dive into the meaning of the Sun, Ascendant and Moon signs is important, it’s also vital to try to understand those pesky challenging natal aspects. Below are the challenging aspects of Charles’ birth chart.

 

Neptune Conjunct Venus –

I don’t think this is a good aspect to have in a king, but It is a very good aspect for an artist. Neptune signifies yearning and on Venus, it represents a yearning for affection. This aspect is all about romanticism and idealism in relationships.  The expectations can be too high for an ordinary person to fulfill and this yearning could manifest as falling in love with someone unobtainable. Neptune represents sacrifice, so this could lead to playing the victim or savior in a relationship.  As I said, I don’t like this aspect for a King, but Charles may have hidden artistic talent or problematic relationship issues that we don’t know about.

Pluto Square Sun

Pluto rules Scorpio, and Charles’ Sun sign is Scorpio so these together make King Charles a double Scorpio—a very powerful monarch.  Pluto signifies a compulsion and obsession.  When Pluto is in a challenging aspect to the Sun, it signifies a compulsion and obsession to be important and to be the best. There is a need to exercise power and there may be power struggles when young, usually with the father. It’s very important for them to cultivate humility so that they don’t get carried away with power.  They could expect too much of themselves and others and could be combative.

Eclipses 

Eclipses are indications of significant changes in a person’s life. The most important eclipses are those that are conjunct or opposite the lights (Sun and Moon) in the birth chart. The Eclipse on May 16, 2022, at 25 Scorpio fell on Charles’ Sun, and the eclipse on Oct 25, 2022, at 2 degrees of Scorpio will oppose his Moon.

The following interpretations are taken from Christine Teal's book on Eclipses.

An Eclipse on the Sun could indicate a reward, a gift, coming into prominence--being noticed.  But it could also lead to an identity crisis, possibly feeling unequipped to handle what is expected. It could indicate the loss of a benefactor.

An Eclipse on the Moon could indicate changes involving family members. A woman may play a significant role.  It could create moodiness and be drawn to the past.

These eclipses also impacted and will impact Queen Elizabeth’s chart since their two charts are so connected.  The Eclipse on May 16 was on her Saturn, which represents her authority and her professional role.

The eclipse of Oct 25, 2022, will be opposite her Sun. Something or someone uplifts or degrades her identity.

Eclipse energy can last for six months and up to three years. After the eclipse has passed there is usually an event that is triggered by Mars or the Sun hitting the eclipse degree. Therefore, the May 16 eclipse on Charles’ Sun and his Mom’s Saturn was activated on August 13, 2022, when transiting Mars opposed the eclipse point. I’m not a royalty watcher so I don’t know what happened on that date and if the event was known to the public.

The Oct 25, 2022 eclipse at 2 degrees of Scorpio that will oppose Charles’ Moon and conjunct Elizabeth’s Sun will be triggered on April 23, 2023, when the transiting Sun is at 2 Taurus. Now you may think that the eclipses affecting Queen Elizabeth’s chart will no longer matter because she has passed.  But as Jung noticed, the birth chart keeps working after we die.  I have watched this phenomenon many times.  Something about her will be in the news next April 23, 2023.

What’s Transiting Pluto Got to Do with It?

Pluto is leaving Capricorn of tradition and moving into revolutionary Aquarius in March 2023.  It will be in there a few decades. The Pluto sign defines a generation.  Everyone today picks on the Boomer generation for feeling entitled.  Well, they were born when Pluto was in Leo and they are entitled and special.

The sign of Aquarius is anti-king, and anti-monarchy as it rules the common people.  Prometheus the myth for Aquarius was one of the gods living on Olympus. He looked down on humanity and felt sorry for us.  So he rebelled against the gods and brought fire to mankind.  I think that during the time of Pluto in Aquarius, we could see the dismantling of royalty, not just in Britain but wherever there is a ruling class. The last time Pluto was in Aquarius was 1778 and 1798.  Those were the years of the ratification of the American constitution, the enlightenment, the publication of the Vindication of the Rights of Women by Mary Wollstonecraft, and the French Revolution.

Stay tuned,

September 2022 Forecast

Mercury turns retrograde this month on the 9^th at 8 degrees of Libra and stays retrograde until Oct 2 when he turns direct at 24 degrees of Virgo.  For some reason, Mercury retrograde has grabbed the attention of the public.  This is probably because it gives us something more to be afraid of.  We have been primed for fear the last few years by our corporate-owned media and it won’t go away soon.  So go ahead and add Mercury retrograde to Covid, Omnicom, Monkey Pox, Russia, and Climate Change.  Or, follow the Buddha and liberate yourself from desire and fear. I’m feeling preachy today.  Sorry.  Mercury retrograde is a good time to reflect. When he goes retrograde on the 9^th, he will join five other planets that are retrograde.  This month is all about looking back on where we have come from and what we have learned.

Mars entered Gemini last month on Aug 20 where he will stay an unprecedented seven months. This time period could push all the Geminis out there over the edge.  Being a Gemini myself, I can attest to the fact that we just don’t need any more stimulation. If you are in a relationship with a Gemini Sun or Gemini rising person, just watch the smoke coming out of their ears.  And then watch them relapse into exhaustion when they can’t think of anything more to chatter about.

Saturn and Uranus are moving into a square again.  We had that square in February, June, and December of last year. It symbolized all of 2021. That square manifested in the conflict between wanting to feel safe (Saturn) by getting multiple vaccinations and boosters and by fear (Saturn) of the unvaxed versus wanting freedom (Uranus) by going to a restaurant or the beach. Which side were you on?  Are you a Saturn or a Uranus type?  Run to your local astrologer to find out.  The square will be ½ a degree of exact on Oct 4 and then they move apart.

Dates to Watch:

Note to my Astrology Clients. Use your Planetary Placement and Ascendant Sheet to find if the following transits will have a major impact on you.

Sep 2 – Mercury opposite Jupiter at 6 degrees of Libra/Aries. Jupiter with Mercury can be loud and obnoxious at times. Be careful of your speech today, don’t knock people over the head with your outrageous ideas.  If you have personal planets, (Sun Moon, Mercury, Venus, or Mars) or the ascendant at 4 to 8 degrees of Libra or Aries, don’t be such a loud mouth.  This aspect will repeat on Sep 18 when Mercury backs up to oppose Jupiter again.

Sep 5 – Venus enters Virgo until Sep 29.  During this period, you may all start to over-analyze emotions and be too critical of those you love.  Did you know that people with Venus in Virgo in their natal charts remain unmarried more than any other Venus sign?  Is it because they are critical or maybe because they are discriminating and won’t fall for a loser just to be married? Venus in Virgo is the earth mother.  Joanna Macy, the ecologist, said that first, we have to learn to love the earth in order to save it.  Venus in Virgo is the love of the earth. Virgo is a healer so during this time we could be interested in helping people with their problems be they physical or psychological.  During this period, you will go out and get your hair cut,  and buy new clothes to look neat and put together. “Put together” is a Virgo phrase and I really don’t know what it means.

Sep 9 – Mercury turns retrograde at 8 degrees of Libra. Find the house in your birth chart that contains Libra.  This is the area of life where you could experience miscommunications and snafus. There is some good news with this Mercury retrograde.  While Mercury is in Libra, he will oppose Jupiter in Aries three times-- on 9/2, at 6 degrees Libra/Aries, on 9/18 at 4 degrees Libra/Aries, and on 10/12 at 1 degree of Libra/Aries.  On these dates, beneficial information will come in or a new idea will come up that can open doors to your future.  Pay close attention to any news or original knowledge from books you are reading, especially if you have early degrees of Aries, Cancer, Libra, or Capricorn.

Sep 10- Full Moon at 17 Pisces.  This New Moon is in a positive aspect to Uranus.  Usually, a Full Moon in Pisces tends to make you sensitive and perceptive of your surroundings. Sometimes you feel insecure, and passive and tend to sit around and wait to see what happens.  But, Uranus gives this Full Moon an extra ‘kick’. With Uranus involved, you don’t have the patience to sit, you want to go out and look for something zany to get involved with.   If you have personal planets or the ascendant at 15 to 19 degrees of Pisces, you won’t know whether you should sit and meditate or jump on an airplane.

Sep 16 – Venus Square Mars at 14 Virgo/Gemini.  You could be very clumsy today in romantic matters.  You can also go out and spend too much on luxury items.  It’s best to stay home, especially if you have personal planets or the ascendant at 12 to 16 Virgo or Gemini.

            Sun Opposite Neptune at 24 degrees of Virgo/Pisces.  I have a strong prejudice against Neptune because he represents Dionysus the guy who twirls around and creates confusion.  So on this aspect; you better stay away from business or financial decisions, especially if you have personal planets or the ascendant at 22 to 26 degrees of Virgo or Pisces.

Sep 18 – Mercury Opposite Jupiter at 4 Libra/Aries. You are talking too much and saying things you shouldn’t say.  This is a repeat of the aspect on Sep 2. Try to listen instead of talk if you have personal planets or the ascendant at 2 to 6 Libra/Aries.

Sun Trine Pluto at 26 Virgo/Capricorn. You could get good material advice from a plutocrat today, someone who is in a powerful position to help you. Look for this person if you have personal planets or the ascendant at 24 to 28 degrees of Virgo or Capricorn.

Sep 22 – Sun enters Libra until Oct 23. Libra represents Aphrodite. She will be in her element during this time by creating love relationships, officiating at weddings, and helping creative artists do their best work.  What could go wrong? Well, Aphrodite cheated on Vulcan, the nice guy. She likes to spread her love everywhere.  So don’t get too frisky. This month you could end up having too many friends on Facebook and spend too many hours on eHarmony.

Sep 23 – Sun Conjunct Mercury at 0 degrees of Libra.  Your mind will be primarily concerned with human relations. We want to refine our activities and be more sensitive about our personal appearance.

            Mercury is backing up into Virgo and will turn direct on Oct 1 and head into Libra again on Oct 11.  Find the area of your chart that contains Virgo, this is the area where you will have confused communications.

Sep 24 – Venus Opposite Neptune at 23 Virgo/Pisces.  This is not a good aspect for lending or borrowing money.  You may buy something and pay an inflated price for it.  Try to choose wisely.

Sep 25 – New Moon at 2 degrees of Libra.  The chart of the New Moon sets the pattern for the month ahead.  In Libra, you will want to find balance and harmony.  You want everyone and everything around you to be ‘nice’. This new moon is opposite Jupiter.  You will want to expand your life through education or travel.  This is a lovely month for those of you with personal planets or the ascendant in Libra.

Sep 26 – Venus Trine Pluto at 24 Virgo/Capricorn. When Pluto is good, he is very, very good and when he is bad, he is horrid. On this aspect he brings parties and friendships  He may regenerate your love life if you have personal planets or the ascendant at 22 to 26 of Virgo or Capricorn.

            Mercury Conjunct Venus at 25 Virgo. Your speech takes on a more pleasant tone. You may receive an important message from a friend.  Go out and sweet talk everyone if you have personal planets or the ascendant at 23 to 27 Virgo.

            Sun Opposite Jupiter at 3 Libra/Aries. You tend to exaggerate possibilities today. You expect too much from a relationship and like Icarus, fall to earth from disappointment. If you have personal planets or the ascendant at 1 to 5 degrees of Libra or Aries, modify your expectations.

Sep 27 – Mercury trine Pluto at 27 Virgo/Capricorn.  Someone cares about you a lot and they could help you out today regarding a job or a career move.  Who is this person?  It may be a Virgo, a Scorpio or a Capricorn.  Be alert if you have personal planets or the ascendant at 25 to 29 Virgo or Capricorn.

Sep 28 – Mars Trine Saturn at 19 Gemini/Aquarius.  This is a good day for a family reunion or going to see the old folks.  This is also good for concentrating on a job that needs manual dexterity. If you have personal planets or the ascendant at 17 to 21 Gemini or Aquarius, you can get a lot done today.

Sep 29 – Venus enters Libra until Oct 23.  The goddess of love and beauty enters the sign of love and beauty.  Our sense of color and form is heightened during this time.  This is a good period for all of the artists out there.  For the rest of you, why don’t you try to spruce up your home a little, you will notice that it looks drab and dingy.

 

OUTER PLANET TRANSITS:

JUPITER entered Aries on May 1, 2022 and will stay in Aries until Oct 29, 2022, when he backs into Pisces.  This month he is retrograde and will travel from 8 to 3 degrees of Aries.  Jupiter in Aries is about taking the lead in our life. He is the big fat happy guy who was excessive in all things.  Jupiter also can expand our experiences, our knowledge, and our confidence.  If you have personal planets or the ascendant between 5 to10 degrees of Aries expect expansion and blossoming in that area of your chart.

SATURN is in Aquarius until March 2023.  He is retrograde and will move from 20 to 19 degrees this month.  Saturn rules our material world, and especially our career.  Saturn is the old traditional ruler of Aquarius.  So he is happy here.  If you have the ascendant or any personal planets 17 to 22 degrees of Aquarius, you may be in store for some hard lessons around the issues ruled by the planet and the house the planet is in or rules. While Saturn is in Aquarius, he will run around trying to restrict all of the social media that he will call fake news.  He hates to see freedom of expression which is what Aquarius is all about.

URANUS is in Taurus until Apr 2026.  Uranus turned retrograde on August 24 and he stays at 18 degrees of Taurus all month.  This is the time to break loose and make some radical changes in your life. I believe in ‘cooperating with the inevitable'.  If you have Uranus in a challenging aspect to your ascendant or personal planets, (16 to 20 degrees of Taurus or Scorpio) go on a long vacation, preferably to somewhere you have never been before.  Or make some major changes in your life. Taurus is the earth.  Expect earth events such as farming, food, earthquakes volcanos or major weather events during the period that Uranus is in Taurus.

NEPTUNE (creativity, sensitivity, escapism, dreams) is in Pisces until 2026. Neptune is retrograde this month and will move from 24 to 23 degrees of Pisces.  A lack of focus, a sense of drifting, or an inability to see a betrayal or disappointment until it's too late can be experienced by those of you with the ascendant or Personal Planets at 21 to 26 degrees of Pisces or Virgo. For the enlightened out there, Neptune can also bring artistic, musical, creative expression, increased dreams, and spiritual insights. Watch for some really inspired films to come out when Neptune is in Pisces. 

PLUTO is in Capricorn until 2023.  This month, Pluto is moving retrograde and will stay at 26 degrees of Capricorn all month.  He is grinding away in our psyche bringing up all sorts of difficult psychological crap. You should run to your nearest therapist especially if you have the ascendant or personal planets at 24 to 28 degrees of Capricorn   What needs to die in order to be reborn?

Have a great Month
