Mythic Zodiac

June 2023 Forecast

What a relief, whew, this is a month to enjoy. There are a lot of flowing aspects and very few difficult ones unless you have personal planets at 27 degrees of Capricorn up to 2 degrees of Aquarius then it’s not much fun.  You’ve got a lot of transforming to do, ugh. But for the rest of us, we can breathe a sigh of relief.

 

Dates to Watch:

Note to my Astrology Clients. Use your Planetary Placement and Ascendant Sheet to find if you have a personal planet (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus or Mars) or the ascendant within 2 degrees of the degree of the transits listed below.  If so, the transit will have a major impact on you.

June 2 – Venus Trine Neptune at 27 Cancer/Pisces. This is a good aspect for decorating your home or rearranging furniture.  Education and long-distance travel are also favored. This is also the birthday of the not-so-famous astrologer, Janet Kane!

June 3 – Full Moon at 13 Sagittarius. The Sun is in Gemini and the Moon is in Sagittarius.  I love these two signs as they are all about learning, exploration, and adventure.  This Full Moon is ruled by Jupiter and it emphasizes education and experience.   

June 4 – Mercury Conjunct Uranus at 20 Taurus.  Another great aspect.  You could have some sudden innovative ideas today.  Keep a notebook handy.  These types of inspirations do not come along too often.

June 5 – Venus Enters Leo until July 22 when she turns retrograde at 28 Leo, then turns direct on Sep 3 at 12 degrees of Leo and stays in Leo until Oct 8.  Venus is about love and Leo is about having a good time.  This is a great time to join with others and celebrate life.

          Venus Opposite Pluto at 0 degrees of Leo/Aquarius. Don’t rush headlong into an intimate relationship today. You could regret it.  That person, who looks so dark and sexy, may be just dark. Careful.

June 11 – Pluto turns retrograde and backs up into Capricorn and stays in Capricorn until Jan 22, 2024. Pluto shows us the negative side of the sign he is in.  In the last three months during his stay in Aquarius, we became aware of the dark side of technology, especially AI.  We became aware of the dark side of large institutions, corporations and the Government when Pluto was in Capricorn for the last 20 years. Those kinds of issues will pop up during the rest of the year. Pluto is turning retrograde at 29 Capricorn so this degree is more powerful, obsessive and compulsive than usual because Pluto will stop at this degree before he turns retrograde.  Make a note of this if you have any personal planets around 2 degrees of this point.

          Mercury enters Gemini and stays there until June 26. Mercury is right at home in Gemini because he likes to talk just like Gemini and  OH, how they like to talk!  Beware of gossip and saying the wrong thing to the wrong person at the wrong time. Gemini is the archetype of Bugs Bunny, of course.

          Mercury Trine Pluto at 0 degrees of Gemini/Aquarius.  A beautiful aspect. When Pluto is good, he is very, very good. Someone out there admires you and may come in to give you some help today.

          Venus Square Jupiter at 5 degrees of Leo/Taurus.  Jupiter is never a bad guy, even though he tries sometimes. Here he just wants to eat ice cream and gain more weight.  Not a good time to make a decision, because you are too optimistic and think everything will turn out alright.  It may, or may not.

June 15 – Mercury Square Saturn at 7 degrees of Taurus/Pisces.  Saturn doesn’t even try to be a good guy. With Mercury he has you worrying about your credit card bills, the taxes you owe, and the depressing people around you. I would like to tell you some upsides of this aspect, but I can’t think of any. Wait-- here it is--a very good day to do some editing on your not-so-great American novel.

June 17 – Saturn turns retrograde until Nov 4 when he turns direct at 0 degrees of Pisces.

To survive Saturn retrograde, it is important to focus on self-discipline, responsibility, and hard work. It is also a good time to reflect on past mistakes and learn from them

Overall, transiting Saturn retrograde is a time for introspection and reflection. It can be a challenging time, but it is also an opportunity to learn and grow.

OK, I cheated! The above interpretation is generated from AI.  In time, all the astrologers will be replaced by AI.  So will therapists, writers, filmmakers, musicians, and artists. Oh well, we had our day in the sun.  To play with AI, go to perplexity.AI and put in your question and she will tell you anything you want to know. I consider her a she and also a Gemini because she knows everything, and when she was being tested they found that if she doesn’t know something she just makes it up.

June 18 – New Moon at 26 Gemini. This new moon is square Neptune.  This is the beginning of the Gemini month, so start something new today around learning, teaching, and writing. Neptune will enhance your imagination but also create the urge for plagiarism.  

June 21 – Sun enters Cancer until July 22.  Cancer is a sign of home and family.  The Sun will shine a light on that sign all month.  This is a good time for a family reunion.

June 25 – Mercury Square Neptune at 27 Degrees of Gemini/Pisces.  Gemini and Pisces are mutable signs-- so is Sagittarius.  That means that sometimes or most of the time we don’t know if we are coming or going.  Other people tend to push us around because we are too pliable.  Well, with Mercury squaring Neptune in these signs, we are all the more confused than usual and easily manipulated.

June 26 – Mercury enters Cancer and stays there until July 11. Mercury is rational, but in Cancer, he is subject to emotional content sweeping through him. You could all get a bit weepy and irrational during this time.

          Mars Square Uranus at 21 degrees of Leo/Taurus.  Stay away from crowds as this is a volatile aspect.   You could feel that your freedom is restricted. It is, but only for a week or so.

June 28 – Sun Trine Saturn at 7 degrees of Cancer/Pisces.  Good time to start a new project.  Also, it’s good for working with older people like me.

June 30 – Neptune turns retrograde until Dec 6 when he turns direct at 24 degrees of Pisces. Neptune rules Pisces so he is very strong in this placement.  You may be able to see beyond the veil into other worlds at this time. Your sensitivity is heightened.  You have a deeper appreciation of music and poetry.

          Mercury trine Saturn at 7 degrees of Cancer/Pisces. Be realistic now. Start a budget.  Make practical, long-range plans.

 

OUTER PLANET TRANSITS FOR THIS MONTH:

JUPITER this month moves from 3 degrees to 9 Taurus and will stay in Taurus until May 26, 2024.  Jupiter is the big fat happy guy who is expansive in all things. In Taurus, he wants to buy property, build up this bank account and invest in growth stocks. Look to the house in your birth chart that contains Taurus. This coming year can bring good luck and opportunities to the areas ruled by the natal Taurus house.

SATURN is in Pisces until May 26, 2025. This month he starts at 6 Pisces and goes retrograde on the 17th at 7 Pisces and will stay there the rest of the month.  Saturn rules your material world and especially your career.  If you have the ascendant or any personal planets anywhere from 4 to 9 degrees of Pisces, you may be in store for some hard lessons about the issues in the house containing Pisces.  Pisces is a creative dreamer.  With Saturn here, he will try to solidify your dreams and fantasies.

URANUS is in Taurus until April 2026. This month he will move from 20 to 21 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, (18 to 23 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 news about farming, food, earthquakes, volcanos, tornadoes, or other major weather changes while Uranus is in Taurus. 

NEPTUNE  is in Pisces until 2026. This month he will stay at 27 degrees of Pisces.  If you have the ascendant or personal planets anywhere from 25 to 29 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 Aquarius until March 11, 2043. This month Pluto starts the month at 0 degrees of Aquarius backs into Capricorn on the 11^th and stays at 29 Capricorn for the rest of the month.  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.

Enjoy this month.

May 2023 Forecast

In January 2023 an1800 year old Statue of Hercules was found in Greece. According to the Buddhist tradition, spiritual knowledge is hidden until mankind is ready to appreciate the teachings.  Hidden knowledge of this type is called a terma.  Examples of termas are the gnostic gospels which were discovered in 1945 and The Dead Sea Scrolls which were discovered between 1946 and 1956. These documents date back to 1800 to 2000 years ago. Mankind had evolved enough to understand both of these documents and they were discovered at a time when they couldn’t easily be censored by the Church. The discovery of Hercules brings awareness of the twelve labors of Hercules, which correlates to the 12 signs of the zodiac. Here is an excellent article by astrologer Dale O’Brien about Hercules and his close friend Chiron. Does digging up Hercules mean that the archetype of the hero has been awakened?  Because Pluto is in Aquarius (the people), this might not mean a hero is coming to save us, but instead, each of us might find our heroic power.   

                                      +++++++++++

King Charles III’s Coronation is on May 6.  There is something weird about this coronation date because it is one day after a lunar eclipse and during Mercury retrograde.  First off, a lunar eclipse is the worst time for a coronation because lunar eclipses are about endings, not beginnings. Also, Mercury retrograde can mean that there could be glitches in the proceedings and something has to be done over again.  Or what is started doesn’t last long.  The Royal Family has used astrologers for centuries, so why did they pick this date?  It could be that King Charles regards himself as modern and does not believe in the outdated ancient art of astrology.   When he was born a few of the best British astrologers wrote that he didn’t have a well-placed Jupiter and would never be king. Prince William on the other hand has Jupiter in the 10^th house, the sign of a king.  I don’t know; let’s wait to see what happens.   You can read about the natal chart of King Charles III here.

King Charles may not use astrologers, but I expect that Robert F. Kennedy Jr does.  He announced his candidacy right before the New Moon, Solar Eclipse (New beginnings), and at the exact time that the ascendant was on the USA Sun.  Astrologically, this will be an interesting campaign to watch.

                                               ++++++++++++

Mercury is still retrograde this month until the 14^th.  This retrograde nearly did me in so I don’t want to talk about it.

Dates to Watch:

Note to my Astrology Clients. Use your Planetary Placement and Ascendant Sheet to find if you have a personal planet (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, or Mars) or the ascendant within 2 degrees of the degree of the transit degrees listed below.  If so, the transit will have a major impact on you.

May 1 – Pluto turns retrograde at 0 degrees of Aquarius today, dips back into Capricorn on June 1, turns direct in Capricorn on Oct 10, and reenters Aquarius for good on January 22, 2024. While Pluto is retrograde, it is a time to reflect on power and control issues in your life.  Let go of manipulation from others.  Also, get rid of smothering and controlling relationships and get free of obsessive and compulsive behaviors.  Wow!  That is quite a lot of psychological homework to do.  So get busy.

          Sun Conjunct Mercury at 10 degrees of Taurus. This is the travel of the mind and/or body. Both business and pleasure are fortunate under this aspect.

May 4 – Venus Square Neptune at 26 Gemini/Pisces.  You could be a real crybaby today.  You feel everyone is picking on you.  Well, I think they are.  Man up and tell them to push off.

May 5 – Lunar Eclipse at 14 Scorpio.  See my Eclipse Report here.

May 7 – Venus enters Cancer until June 5. The lovey-dovey planet is in the sign of home and security. You could become very sensitive and this can lead to maudlin sentimentality.  This is a period when you feel like staying home and looking through your family albums and crying about the people who have died. Instead, go on ancestry.com and find some new relatives.

May 9 - Sun Conjunct Uranus at 16 Taurus.  Be careful of costly mistakes. Uranus causes us to speed up our thinking and movements.  Try to slow down.

May 13 – Venus Trine Saturn at 6 Cancer/Pisces. This is a good aspect. You probably think I never write anything nice, that I’m an old grouch.  Well on this aspect you could meet with a friend that you haven’t seen in a long time.  Also, you could be enjoying your work and the people you work with.

May 14 – Mercury turns direct at 5 Taurus. Finally!  This Mercury retrograde was a toughie on all the Taurus Sun, Moon, and the rising sign people. Now you can start moving ahead.  Mercury will be moving slowly for about a week so don’t expect a quick transition to the normal pace of things.

May 15 – Mars Trine Neptune at 27 Cancer/Pisces.  Great aspect!  You can move ahead on all of your artistic and spiritual projects.  You can finally relax from all of the upheaval you have all been going through. 

May 16 – Jupiter enters Taurus and stays until May 26, 2024. Taurus rules money and resources and Jupiter is expansive.  There could be a tendency to attract wealth during this time, especially for Taurus types.  Jupiter was last in Taurus from June 2011 to June 2012. How did you do back then?  What part of your life grew or became overblown and out of control at that time?

May 17 – Jupiter Square Pluto at 0 degrees of Taurus/Aquarius. Decisions made at this time about your home and business will remain in place for a long time. You could become self-opinionated and demanding in your attitude.  Try not to get into power struggles with others.

May 19 – New Moon at 28 Taurus. This is a positive New Moon because it is in a sextile to Mars and a sextile to Neptune. These aspects support your determination for a fresh start.  You can make important changes and make some solid and realistic plans.  Start something new today; the wind is at your back.

May 20 – Mars enters Leo and stays until July 10. Mars can kick up a storm here.  He doesn’t want to be held back and he doesn’t want to think things through before he acts.  The house that contains Leo in your birth chart can be activated now.  See the Meaning of houses here.

Mars opposite Pluto at 0 Leo/Taurus/Aquarius. These two planets love to butt heads to see who is tougher. This brings in the element of brute force.  Try not to be too headstrong and push for change.  And if you try to sneak something over on others, you won’t get away with it.

May 21 – Sun enters Gemini until June 21. Hello Gemini!  I think we need some of this energy at this time.  Yes, Geminis can tell some tall tales, but they are fun and flexible.  Try to go with the flow during this time and don’t believe everything you read.

          Sun Trine Pluto at 0 Gemini/Aquarius. You could have an enjoyable and financially rewarding collaboration with someone.  Keep your options open for this to come in.

May 23 – Mars Square Jupiter at 1 Leo/Taurus.  You may have the urge to get away from everything and everyone right now.  Don’t throw out stuff and relationships too fast.  Mars is hotheaded and Jupiter isn’t very rational.

May 28 – Sun Square Saturn at 6 Gemini/Pisces.  Don’t take any risks. You could experience losses. Or you could get disillusioned by someone in whom you had great faith. Try not to fall into pessimism and sarcasm, which are Saturn’s favorite attitudes.

 

OUTER PLANET TRANSITS FOR THIS MONTH:

JUPITER this month moves from 26 Aries to 3 Taurus.  He enters Taurus on May 16 and will stay in Taurus until May 26, 2024.  Jupiter is the big fat happy guy who is excessive in all things. In Taurus, he wants to buy property, build up this bank account and invest in growth stocks. Look to the house in your birth chart that contains Taurus. This coming year can bring good luck and opportunities to the areas ruled by the natal Taurus house.

SATURN is in Pisces until May 26, 2025. This month he moves from 5 to 6 degrees of Pisces.  Saturn rules your material world and especially your career.  If you have the ascendant or any personal planets anywhere from 5 to 6 degrees of Pisces, you may be in store for some hard lessons about the issues in the house containing Pisces.  Pisces is a creative dreamer.  With Saturn here, he will try to solidify your dreams and fantasies.

URANUS is in Taurus until April 2026. This month he will move from 18 to 20 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 22 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 news about farming, food, earthquakes, volcanos, tornadoes, or other major weather changes while Uranus is in Taurus. 

NEPTUNE  is in Pisces until 2026. This month he will move from 26 to 27 degrees of Pisces.  If you have the ascendant or personal planets anywhere from 24 to 29 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 Aquarius until March 11, 2043. This month Pluto stays at 0 degrees of 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 29 degrees of Capricorn to 2 degrees of Aquarius.  Pluto asks what needs to die in order to be reborn.

Have a great month.

Eclipses in April and May 2023

The first eclipse on April 20, 2023, is a Solar Eclipse in the sign of Aries.  The second eclipse on May 5 is a Lunar Eclipse in the sign of Scorpio. The ancients believed that during an eclipse,” the mighty will fall". They bring endings and beginnings-- 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.

Solar Eclipse on April 20 at 29 Aries

This total eclipse will be seen in the remote western part of Australia, Timor-Leste, and Indonesia.

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 Aries themes – setting goals, physical activities and leadership. The six months following this eclipse is an ideal time to deal with and to make a fresh start in all of these Aries areas.

This Solar eclipse is square Pluto the planet that uncovers what has been hidden. If this could mean that you have to sacrifice being in control. This is a good eclipse to let go of bad habits and destructive relationships.  With Pluto being in Aquarius, this eclipse could intensify the rebellion taking place in many parts of the work

Total Eclipses are spotlights that reveal matters that may have been hidden but also reveals positive trends or traits in people. This total solar eclipse is on President Biden’s Moon. This could bring in a change of direction.  I just noticed that King Charles has the same moon sign and degree as President Biden--0 degrees of Taurus.  The eclipse on King Charles’ Moon is in the 10^th house bringing achievement in the outer world.  Whereas Biden’s Moon is in the 5^th House and could affect one of his children. An eclipse on the moon is very emotional and there could be disruptions in the home (country) and a move from the present dwelling.

Mars the ruler of the eclipse is opposite the Sun of the U.S. In a nation's chart, the Sun is the leader, and in Biden’s chart, the Moon is the people.  This could very well mean a crisis in the US regarding the presidency and people’s rights.  But don’t forget crises can bring an opportunity.

Lunar Eclipse on May 5  at 14  degrees of Scorpio

This eclipse will be visible over Asia, Africa, Australia, and much of Eastern and Central Europe.

In Scorpio, this eclipse will bring about regeneration, death, and rebirth.  Deep subjects that were hidden may come to light.   

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 patterns, and our unconscious motivations. This period of time can bring up old memories and feelings.  Full moon eclipses can bring things to completion that you have been working on. 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 we weren’t aware of.

This eclipse will be opposite President Biden’s Mars in the 12^th house. Mars is our energy pattern and the 12^th house is institutions such as hospitals. I hope this doesn’t bring illness.  But Mars in the 12^th can also be actions that are hidden from the public.

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.  

Eclipses are contrary to the status quo. If impacted by one of these eclipses, your life will not run on the same track it has been on.  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.  But remember, sometimes eclipses get triggered after they occur so events can come in after the eclipse especially within 6 months after the event.

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 October 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 April 20, 2023, at 29 degrees of Aries will affect you if you have personal planets (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, and/or Mars) or the ascendant 27 through the 29 degrees of Aries and 0 through 1 degree of Taurus.   Also, look at your natal chart for the houses that contain 29 degrees of Aries and 1 degree of Taurus.   It may mean the end of one set of circumstances and the beginning of another in that area of your life.  This eclipse is in a square to Pluto at 0 degrees of Aquarius. 

The Lunar Eclipse of May 5, 2023, at 14 degrees of Scorpio will affect you if you have personal planets or the ascendant at 12 to 16 degrees of Scorpio or Taurus.  Also, look at your natal chart for the 2 houses that hold 12 to 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?

Eclipses can repeat every 19 years. he Solar Eclipse of April 20 is a repeat of a Solar eclipse back on April 19, 2004.  The Lunar Eclipse of May 5 is a repeat of a lunar eclipse of May 4, 2004.  Look back to what happened then. These Eclipses will continue a theme that was playing out at that time

If any of these eclipses fall on a personal planet, check the list of keywords for the planets here

April 2023 Forecast

We had four major planets change signs last month.  Saturn went into Pisces, Venus entered Taurus, Pluto entered Aquarius and Mars went into Cancer.  This gives us a totally new landscape.  We will start to see how these new energies will unfold this month as other planets start to aspect these new positions.

The beginning of April is fairly quiet, but the energy is slowly leading to a Major Total Eclipse on the 20^th.  The eclipse will be at 29 degrees of Aries in a square to Pluto.   When an eclipse aspects a planet, it causes that planet to become damaged and not able to operate at its full strength.  For Pluto that is a good thing. The reason that this is a major eclipse for the U.S. is that it is in a conjunction with President Biden’s moon and squares the USA's Pluto. Also, Mars the ruler of the eclipse is on the U.S. Sun.  This portends some sort of crisis.  I will take a stab at interpreting this in my eclipse report coming up soon.

Mercury is moving retrograde on the 21^st at 14 Taurus, which will remain in Taurus until it ends on May 14.  This will affect those of you born during the last week of April, July, October, January, and the 1^st week of Feb, May, August, and November.

 

Dates to Watch:

Note to my Astrology Clients. Use your Planetary Placement and Ascendant Sheet to find if you have a personal planet (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus or Mars) or the ascendant within 2 degrees of the degree of the transit degrees listed below.  If so, the transit will have a major impact on you.

Apr 3 – Mercury enters Taurus and stays until June 11. Mercury is the planet of intellect and communication, but in Taurus, he becomes slow, plotting, and methodical.  He wants to talk about practical issues, such as the price of housing, farms, food production, and banking.  Watch the news about these items during Mercury in Taurus.

Mercury Square Pluto at 0 degrees of Taurus/Aquarius. This is the first aspect to Pluto since he entered Aquarius.   Watch for news relating to Pluto in Aquarius on such subjects as AI. You know it’s just a matter of time before she gets smarter than we are. Some information can come in that helps us understand what Pluto in Aquarius will bring us for the next 20 years.  On this aspect, you could forcefully persuade others to your way of thinking. And you could become fanatical about your ideas. You want to dig into information to find what is hidden.

April 6 – Full Moon at 16 degrees of Libra. This Full Moon has the Sun in aspect to Jupiter. He rules long-distance travel, and in Aries, he wants to expand our identity and our sense of self.  He wants us to live in the present.  This aspect wants us to shine a light on something we didn’t know before.  The Moon is in Libra and that rules fairness, cooperation, and legal issues.  Libra can diffuse the warrior Aries energy.  Libra calls for peace. The ruler of the Sun in Libra is Venus.  She is conjunct Uranus.  We could see more instability in the banks and money in general.  We may see some legal cases culminate during the next month.  Venus rules this Full Moon, so expect a flowering of love and affection and Jupiter will add an optimistic glow.  Look for flowering in the areas ruled by the house in your birth chart that contains 16 degrees of Libra.  The Meaning of the Houses is here.

Apr 11 – Venus enters Gemini until May 7.  Gemini is not a huggy-kissy-face sign.  Gemini just wants to talk.  You may bore your loved ones to death during this time by constant chatter about insignificant things.  This is a good placement for staying cool and not making a commitment too fast.  Gemini can be quite fun after it passes the square with Saturn on the 14^th.

          Venus Trine Pluto at 0 degrees of Gemini/Aquarius.  This leads to communications that can lead to a deepening of relationships. This aspect denotes strong feelings of love and maybe intense fanatic attachments or a deepening of a current relationship. This is a positive aspect when it comes to artistic talent. You could do your best work here because you are determined and focused.   Also, you could make some wise decisions regarding your financial future.

          Sun conjunct Jupiter at 21 Aries.  This is the best aspect of the month!  We can start to believe in things again, maybe even our political system.  Or, is that going too far?  This aspect lightens things up tremendously and can pull you right out of the rut you have been stuck in. This aspect brings good health, recognition, and success.  It’s also very sociable.  Get out and circulate. 

Apr 14 – Venus Square Saturn at 4 degrees of Gemini/Pisces. You want to be left alone.  If pushed, you can become unreasonable, belligerent, and irritated. There is a tendency to separate from a relationship. Wait about a week until this influence is over before you make that kind of decision.

Apr 20 – New Moon, Solar Total Eclipse at 29 Aries square Pluto.  Aries rules personal plans, courage, independence, and self-assertion. Aries is a good sign for taking action and trying something new. This is a significant astrological event that ushers in major transformations, new beginnings, and life-changing opportunities.  This New Moon activates Pluto in Aquarius, which could intensify the rebellion, awakening, and innovation in science and technology.  Pluto can also bring out the shadow side and uncover corruption.  This energy will be in effect for 6 months.  This will give you plenty of time to make the necessary changes and start something new,  especially in the area of the house in your natal chart that contains Aries. In the next few weeks, I will be sending out a report covering this Solar Eclipse and the Lunar Eclipse on May 5 at 14 Scorpio. 

          Sun enters Taurus and will stay until May 21.  Your need for security is more pronounced during this time. This is a good time of the year for growing food and flowers.  Take advantage of this energy by hiking in the woods and enjoying nature.

          Sun square Pluto at 0 degrees Taurus/Aquarius.  You are striving for power and maybe using too much force. The plans of other people could be in direct conflict with yours. Try to use self-control to maintain peace.

Apr 21 – Mercury turns retrograde at 15 Taurus and stays until May 14.  When he starts the retrograde, he is conjunct Uranus. Rethink previous opinions or ideas.  Expect delays and disruptions in technology.  Back up your writing, because your WIFI could go out.  There could be shocking news or unexpected communications. Mercury will stay in Taurus during the entire retrograde.  Taurus types may find that they have trouble making decisions because they keep changing their minds.  Look to the house of your birth chart that contains Taurus. Fixed Taurus could change her mind about something.  Oh the horror!

 

OUTER PLANET TRANSITS FOR THIS MONTH:

JUPITER is in Aries all month moving from 19 to 26 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 17 to 28 degrees of Aries or Libra, expect opportunities and lucky breaks.

SATURN is in Pisces until May 26, 2025. This month he moves from 2 to 5 degrees of Pisces.  Saturn rules your material world, and especially our career.  If you have the ascendant or any personal planets anywhere from 0 to 7 degrees of Pisces, you may be in store for some hard lessons about the issues in the house containing Pisces.  Pisces is a creative dreamer.  With Saturn here, he will try to solidify your dreams and fantasies.

URANUS is in Taurus until April 2026. This month he will move from 16 to 18 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, (14 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 represents the Earth. Expect earth events in farming, food, earthquakes, volcanos, tornadoes, or other major weather changes while Uranus is in Taurus. 

NEPTUNE  is in Pisces until 2026. This month he will move from 25 to 26 degrees of Pisces.  If you have the ascendant or personal planets anywhere from 24 to 28 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 Aquarius until March 11, 2043. This month Pluto stays at 0 degrees of 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 29 degrees of Capricorn to 2 degrees of Aquarius.  Pluto asks what needs to die in order to be reborn.

Have a great month.

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.

https://www.astro.com/astrology/opa_article230123_e.htm

 

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.

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.
