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.

September 2023 Forecast

Two important planets will turn direct this month; Mercury on September 15 and Venus on September 3^rd.   Mercury turned retrograde on August 23, and during that time you may have had some miscommunication such as emails getting lost or going to the wrong person.   After Mercury turns direct, try to make peace with those you have offended with your delayed responses. Venus has been retrograde in Leo since July 23^rd.  This was a time to look into relationships and women’s issues.  Venus as Aphrodite rules feminine beauty; specifically, beauticians, cosmetics, gowns, and all sexy feminine clothing.  In Leo, our desire for beauty could be very superficial.  But with Venus retrograde, you are asked to look deeply into what you value.  The movie Barbie was released during the time Venus was turning retrograde.  Some of us sense an astrologer behind the scenes in the production of that movie. Astrologers are in hiding everywhere.

At the beginning of the month, Pluto, Neptune, Uranus, and Saturn are also retrograde and Jupiter is about to go retrograde in a couple of days. The pace will be slow this month. It’s a time to look inward and to the past. This is a good month to evaluate where you are and the decisions you have made in the last 6 months.  This is not a good month for growth and expansion.  You can move forward this month but at a slow and steady pace.

The only planet not doing the back-and-forth dance is Mars. He is moving straight ahead, but he is in Libra so he is not very dynamic or forceful.  He isn’t in his full strength in Libra. So until Oct 12, he may just go around apologizing for being too passive.

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.

Sep 3 – Venus turns direct at 12 Leo.  You may experience more creativity, energy, and focus.  Look to the house in your birth chart that contains the sign of Leo.  In this area of your life, you will become much more creative and friendly. You learned new ways to relate to yourself and others during the retrograde.  Now you can take what you have learned and put it into practice.  See the Meaning of Houses here.

Sep 4 – Jupiter turns retrograde at 15 Taurus.  Whenever a planet changes direction, its influence is magnified for the few days before and after. Jupiter rules our beliefs, our hopes, and our optimism.  Those traits don’t go away with the retrograde; we just take time to look into our belief systems.  Are your beliefs grounded in reality? Do you think everything will work out against all odds? Try not to believe what you think.  Jupiter rules Sagittarius, so I hope this advice doesn’t hit the Sagittarians out there too hard.   Jupiter moving retrograde will set up a square to Venus which is exact on Sept 17, but because of Jupiter’s retrograde movement and Venus slowly moving direct, we will experience this energy all month.

          Mercury Trine Jupiter at 15 Virgo/Taurus.  This is favorable for finding the right work, intellectual pastimes, and financial good fortune.

Sep 6 – Sun Conjunct Mercury at 14 Virgo. The Sun lights up the Mercury which is all about your mental processes.  So this is a good day to read, teach, or write.  Also, Mercury has feathers on his ankles so he is restless and likes to think about taking a trip.

Sep 8 – Sun Trine Jupiter at 15 Virgo/Taurus.  I love earth signs.  Some may find them boring, but I think they are restful and help you feel safe. This aspect can bring financial security and educational opportunities.

Sep 14 – New Moon at 21 Virgo.  This New Moon forms a grand trine with the Moon/Sun, Mercury, and Jupiter. This can produce a lively exchange of thoughts.  You feel very kindhearted today and want to show your love to everyone around you.  This is one of the best New Moons of the year.

Sep 15 – Mercury turns direct at 8 degrees of Virgo. Your plans get back on track.  Something in your life will start to move forward, even those things that seemed stuck or beyond help.

          Sun Tine Uranus a 22 Virgo/Taurus.  This is about having fun and being entertained.  There may be a sudden invitation to a party or a spontaneous trip to somewhere unusual.

Sep 17 – Venus Square Jupiter at 15 Leo/Jupiter.   This is the aspect that lasts all month. Both of these planets can be self-indulgent and excessive.   Think sweet tooth or a maxed-out credit card. If you run into any problems in a relationship, wait until the end of the month to try to fix it.

Sep 19 – Sun Opposite Neptune at 26 Virgo/Pisces.  You are confused and quite daffy today.  Don’t make any important financial decisions. If you meet a new possible love interest - RUN

Sep 21 – Sun Trine Pluto at 27 Virgo/Pluto.  We have some really good trines this month, plus a grand trine in Earth signs.  Here is another positive trine. You could get advice from someone that leads to an accumulation of wealth. Or you could form a partnership with someone you can trust.

Sep 23 – Sun Enters Libra until Oct 23.  This marks the Autumn Equinox when the Day is equal to the Night.  This is a very fitting description of Libra energy.  During Libra you want everything to be in equal proportion to everything else.

Sep 25 – Mercury Trine Jupiter at 14 degrees of Virgo/Taurus.  This is more positive solid earth energy.  This is a good day to indulge in interesting work that pays well.   You can enjoy intellectual pastimes and you can gain financially today.

Sep 29 – Full Moon at 6 Aries/Libra.  This Full Moon highlights doing your own thing as opposed to working with others to attain harmony. You may be torn between these two extremes.

          Venus Square Uranus at 22 Leo/Taurus.  Try not to give advice today.  I know you think you know what is best for everyone around you, but no one wants to hear it.

Sep 30 – Mercury Trine Uranus at 22 Virgo/Taurus.  I like this aspect. It helps you think outside the box today and come up with some innovative ways to do your work.

 

OUTER PLANET TRANSITS FOR THIS MONTH:

JUPITER this month turns retrograde on September 4 and moves from 15 to 14 degrees of Taurus.  He 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 his 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 in the areas ruled by your natal Taurus house.

SATURN is in Pisces until May 26, 2025. This month he is moving retrograde from 3 to 1 degree of Pisces and will stay retrograde until Nov 4, when he will turn direct at 0 degrees of Pisces.    Saturn rules your material world and especially your career.  If you have the ascendant or any personal planets anywhere from 0 to 5 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 is moving retrograde and will move from 23 to 22 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, (24 to 25 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 is moving retrograde from 26 to 25 degrees of Pisces.  If you have the ascendant or personal planets anywhere from 24 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 Nov 2024.  This month Pluto is retrograde and moves from 28 to 27 degrees of Capricorn all month.  He moves back into Aquarius in Nov 2024.  Pluto 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 25 to 29 degrees of Capricorn.  Pluto asks what needs to die in order to be reborn.

Enjoy this month.

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.

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.

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. He grinds away at our psyche, bringing up all sorts of difficult psychological issues. You should run to your nearest therapist, especially if you have the ascendant or personal planets anywhere from 27 degrees of Capricorn to 2 degrees of Aquarius.  Pluto asks what needs to die in order to be reborn.

Have a great month.

February 2023 Forecast

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

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

 

Dates to Watch:

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

Feb 2 – Groundhog  Day

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

OUTER PLANET TRANSITS FOR THIS MONTH:

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

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

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

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

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.

September 2022 Forecast

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

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

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

Dates to Watch:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

 

OUTER PLANET TRANSITS:

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

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

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

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

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

Have a great Month

July 2022 Forecast

On June 24, 2022, the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade.  I see this action as part of Pluto's return to the United States birth chart.  Long transits of the outer planets such as Pluto get triggered when an inner planet such as Mars moves within a 5-degree orb of the outer planet.  On June 24 Mars had just moved to a 5-degree square of both transiting Pluto and the natal Pluto in the U.S. Birth Chart.  To me, that indicates that the Supreme Court decision is an important part of the major transformation we are going through and will continue to go through. The Court’s decision gave the power concerning abortions to the states. What other decisions could they make in the future to shrink the power of the federal government and enhance that of the state governments? How does that change the nature of the government we have?

 Mars is still squaring Pluto today, July 1.  Mars in Aries in a square to Pluto in Capricorn can result in explosive anger that could stem from the Supreme Court decision.   This transit of Mars square Pluto will continue to be in effect through this weekend. Read more about the US Pluto return here.

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

Many of us could probably use a spiritual or meditative discipline to keep us grounded through the probable changes that will occur during the coming Pluto return. My favorite spiritual teaching is the Tao te Ching.

Back in the ’80s, I had a 39-mile commute to work from Greenbelt, MD to Chantilly, VA.  For two years, during my commute, I played a cassette of the Tao te Ching translated by Stephen Mitchell.  I wanted to brainwash myself with these teachings.  I found the Tao verses very healing and I still read a few verses every day.  Last week, I was thrilled to see Acyuta-bhava Das, an astrologer I know in Silver Spring, MD, start a series in which he reads the Tao and compares it to astrology. The lessons of the Tao are one of many teachings that may help get us through these turbulent times.  Here is the link to the first episode on Youtube where you can also find the rest of the chapters.

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

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.

Jul 1- Mars Square Pluto at 27 degrees of Aries/Capricorn.  This is a volatile and dynamic aspect. Don’t try to force action.  Let everything work itself out at a normal pace.  Don’t begin anything of importance.  Watch your temper and the anger from those around you. Aries and Capricorn are Cardinal signs.  Cardinal signs hold their ground and take no prisoners.  Lay low if you have personal planets (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus or Mars) or the ascendant at 25 to 29 degrees of Aries or Capricorn.  This Mars transit will continue through the weekend.

Jul 2 – Mercury Trine Saturn at 24 degrees of Gemini/Aquarius.  I must admit I am partial to the signs of Gemini and Aquarius.  They are extroverted, friendly, and full of ideas that they want to communicate to everyone they know.  What’s not to like?  A trine will help your ideas flow today. This is a very positive aspect for you if you have personal planets or the ascendant at 22 to 26 degrees of Gemini or Aquarius.

          Mercury Square Neptune at 25 degrees of Gemini/Pisces.  You are not thinking straight today.  Your brain is clouded and full of cotton. Wait a few days before making a decision.  If you have personal planets or the ascendant at 23 to 27 degrees of Gemini/Pisces, don’t worry, it’s not dementia, blame it on Neptune.

I realize I am giving you mixed signals for Jul 2. You will have a lot of ideas, but need to watch for being too idealist about your expectations.   

Jul 5 – Mars enters Taurus until August 20.  Mars is the ruler of Aries, so he is not happy here.  He wants action and Taurus wants to stay home and bake bread.  How about working in the garden?  That’ll work.

          Mercury enters Cancer until July 19.  Mercury is the planet of communication.  In Cancer, he will bore you to death talking about his home, his family, and what he is making for supper.  If you are a Gemini or an Aquarius, don't get frustrated, try to be nice.

Jul 9 – Mercury Square Jupiter at 8 degrees of Cancer/Aries.  Don’t go on a spending spree and don’t overindulge in booze or sweets.  You know Jupiter is greedy and excessive-- it’s best not to listen to him.  He is overweight you know and he cheated on his wife.  If you have personal planets or the ascendant at 6 to 10 degrees of Cancer or Aries, don’t go out of bounds and do something reckless.  

Jul 13 – Venus Trine Saturn at 24 degrees of Gemini/Aquarius.  Venus rules friendship and love and Saturn rules the past and things that are older. You could get in contact with an old friend today or fall in love with a Capricorn.  A contact you make today could recommend you for a job. (Is anyone out there working anymore?)  This is an especially good grounded day around money and relationships if you have personal planets or the ascendant at 22 to 25 Gemini or Aquarius.

          Full Moon in Cancer at 21 Capricorn.  This Full Moon is Opposite Mercury and Trine Uranus.  You could get too emotional about sudden news that comes in. Instead, use this day to think out of the box, tap into your originality and come up with some innovative ideas.

Jul 14 – Venus Square Neptune at 25 degrees of Gemini/Pisces.  You are so optimistic and generous that other people can take advantage of you. If you have personal planets or the ascendant at 23 to 27 degrees of Gemini or Pisces, try not to be so timid-- that gets you nowhere.

Jul 16 – Sun Conjunct Mercury at 23 degrees of Gemini.  This is a good day for planning or taking a trip and it also stimulates your literary abilities.  Why not do both, and become a travel writer.  Mercury likes to stay close to home so you don’t have to go a long distance.  If you have personal planets or the ascendant at 21 to 25 of Gemini or Sagittarius, your mind is lit up by the Sun.  A lot of ideas are streaming into your brain today.

Jul 17 – Sun Trine Neptune at 25 degrees of Cancer/Pisces. This stimulates your idealism.  This is good for love, romance, and for getting involved in a dream come true scheme that others will support.  If you have personal planets or the ascendant at 23 to 27 of Cancer or Pisces, go to the beach today and daydream.

          Mercury Trine Neptune at 25 degrees of Cancer/Pisces. This can bring in a positive outcome from your writing or correspondence. You could receive good news from someone far away.  If you have personal planets or the ascendant at 23 to 27 degrees of Cancer or Pisces, write or read a fantasy novel.

Another triple aspect for Jul 17.  The old guys say that this triple aspect can denote exposure to lies and calumnies fabricated by others.  How many out there know what ‘Calumnies’ are?

Jul 18 – Mercury Opposite Pluto at 27 degrees of Cancer/Pluto. You are both impulsive and outspoken. Try not to offend anyone.  You want to tell everyone about your favorite conspiracy theories, but no one wants to listen.  If you have personal planets or the ascendant at 25 to 29 degrees of Cancer or Pluto, stay home and do some more research before you antagonize others.

Jul 19 – Mercury enters Leo until August 4.  Mercury likes it here.  He wants to be the smartest guy in the room and he probably is.  Be careful not to show off your knowledge.  This is a good placement for fun and entertainment.

          Sun Opposite Pluto at 27 degrees of Cancer/Capricorn. Avoid being misled into some corrupt underworld scheme. You could have a confrontation with a Scorpio type today.  Cancer and Capricorn are both tough signs so someone will need to back off.  If you have personal planets or the ascendant at 25 to 29 degrees of Cancer or Capricorn you may just slink away from combat.  I think that is a good idea.

Jul 22 – Sun enters Leo until August 22.  This is a great time of year.  Leo wants to play sports, have activities with children, and be entertained.

Jul 23 – Mercury Trine Jupiter at 8 degrees of Leo/Aries.  You could do some work today that could bring in some positive finances.  If you have personal planets or the ascendant at 6 to 10 degrees of Leo or Aries, put yourself in a position where good luck and abundance can flow to you.

Jul 25 – Venus Square Jupiter at 8 degrees of Cancer/Aries.  Personal matters can become upsetting today.  Wait before you make a decision. If you have personal planets or the ascendant at 6 to 10 degrees of Cancer or Aries, try not to be so sensitive to others’ shenanigans.

Jul 26 – Mercury Square Mars at 14 degrees of Leo/Taurus. This aspect can lead to arguments.  You are finally saying what is on your mind, but so is your partner.  A bit of diplomacy is required.  If you have personal planets or the ascendant at 12 to 16 degrees of Leo or Taurus, keep your pen and tongue under control.

Jul 28 – New Moon at 5 Leo.  This is the start of the Leo month.  This New Moon is in a trine to Jupiter.  Be sure to do an intention on this one.  Ask for abundance to flow in.  Wait until after 2 PM EDT to do it.  Look to the house in your birth chart that contains Leo, The areas that the house rules will be subject to growth and good luck.  See the meaning of the houses here

          Jupiter turns retrograde at 8 degrees of Aries until Nov 23^rd. When a planet turns retrograde, its influence turns inward away from the outer world.  For Jupiter, the planet of joy, wisdom, abundance, and exuberance, that means finding ways in which you can discover these elements within yourself instead of looking to the external world to find these qualities.  Because it is in the sign of Aries, the self, you can get in touch with your true identity and help you understand who you really are. If you have personal planets or the ascendant at 6 to 10 Aries or Libra, luck is on your side.  Buy a lottery ticket.

          Mercury Square Uranus at 18 degrees of Leo/Taurus.  You receive news you don’t like.  This can cause you to be sarcastic and cutting to those around you.  Try to keep calm.  If you have personal planets or the ascendant at 16 to 20 degrees of Leo or Taurus, try not to worry so much.

Jul 31 – Mercury Opposite Saturn at 22 Leo/Aquarius.  This could lead to you being a little mean today.  You are frustrated because you want to travel or be up and doing, but Saturn has put on the brakes.  If you have personal planets or the ascendant at 20 to 24 degrees of Leo or Aquarius, try a bit of meditation and put off plans for today, unless it’s for business.

          Sun Trine Jupiter at 8 degrees of Leo/Aries. This is one of the best aspects we can have.  Jupiter rules advancement in finances and education.   If you have personal planets or the ascendant at 6 to 10 degrees of Leo or Aries, you have the confidence today to go after what you want.

 

OUTER PLANET TRANSITS:

JUPITER entered Aries on May 1, 2022, and will stay in Aries until Oct 29, 2022, when backs back into Pisces. This month he will travel from 7 to 8 degrees of Aries until he turns retrograde on June 28. Jupiter in Aries is about taking the lead in our life.  Jupiter’s effects are to expand our experiences, our knowledge, and our understanding.   If you have personal planets or the ascendant between 5 to10 degrees of Aries expect expansion and blossoming in that area of your chart.

SATURN is in Aquarius until March 2023.  He turned retrograde on June 4, 2022, and will move from 24 to 22 degrees this month. Saturn rules our material world, and especially our career.  Saturn is the old traditional ruler of Aquarius.  So he is happy here.  If you have the ascendant or any personal planets 20 to 27 degrees of Aquarius, you may be in store for some hard lessons around the issues ruled by the planet and the house the planet is in or rules. While Saturn is in Aquarius, he will run around trying to restrict all of the social media that he will call fake news.  He hates to see freedom of expression which is what Aquarius is all about.

URANUS is in Taurus until Apr 2026.  This month he moves from 17 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, (15 to 20 degrees of Taurus or Scorpio) go on a long vacation, preferably to somewhere you have never been before.  Or make some major changes in your life. Taurus is the earth.  Expect earth events such as 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 turned retrograde on June 28 and will stay at 25 degrees of Pisces all month.  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 23 to 27 degrees of Pisces or Virgo. For the enlightened out there, Neptune can also bring artistic, musical, creative expression, increased dreams, and spiritual insights. Watch for some really inspired films to come out during the time Neptune is in Pisces. 

PLUTO is in Capricorn until 2023.  This month, Pluto is moving retrograde and will stay at 27 degrees of Capricorn. He is grinding away in our psyche bringing up all sorts of difficult psychological crap. You should run to your nearest therapist especially if you have the ascendant or personal planets at 25 degrees of Capricorn to 0 degrees of Aquarius.  What needs to die in order to be reborn?

Have a great Month

The Pluto Return in the U.S. Birth Chart

The USA Pluto Return – Exact on 2/20/22, 7/11/22, 12/28/22

Here are some of my thoughts concerning the very rare Pluto return to the U.S that we are experiencing now.

Pluto has traveled all the way around the Sun and is back to where it was in the birth chart of the United States (July 4, 1776). It’s called a Pluto return and only happens once every 246 years. So this is America’s first Pluto Return.  Pluto is an incredibly powerful planet and rules the process of decay, destruction, transformation, and regeneration.  Pluto moves very slowly so Pluto’s death and rebirth process takes time.

As early as March of 2016 (using a 10-degree orb) we may have seen glimmers of upcoming changes transiting Pluto will create. These will continue all the way through April of 2032. I find that long-term transits such as this one are most intense when they are within a 5-degree orb.  This means that the Pluto return will be in its most dynamic phase from Dec 2019 through March 2025. To understand when events will happen that symbolize Pluto's return, we need to look at when transits of the inner planets trigger Pluto's return.

In researching other countries we find that when they experienced a Pluto return their form of government went through a major transformation. The U.S. is a constitutional federal republic.  It’s interesting to speculate how this will change in the coming years under the influence of the Pluto Return.

May 2022 Forecast

This Month:

Mercury turns retrograde from May 10 until June 3.

Jupiter changes signs moving from Pisces to Aries on May 10.

We have another eclipse on May 15 and we are still under the influence of the April 30 eclipse.  For more information on these eclipses, read my Eclipse report. The ancients believed that eclipses only affected the rulers of the world and not the rest of us peons.  Note that both Vladimir Putin and President Biden have these eclipses conjunct their Venus. President Biden also has the Lunar Eclipse on his Sun. Queen Elizabeth has the Lunar Eclipse on her Saturn. Briefly, an eclipse on Venus can bring a change in popularity and an eclipse on the Sun can bring attention either positive or negative. An eclipse on Saturn highlights the career and legacy.

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.

If you are a client, email me for a coaching session on how the May aspects and the April 30 and May 16 eclipses will affect your chart.

May 1 – Beltane.  I have a client in Dublin who sends me articles about Irish culture.  Here is an article about Bealtaine (Irish Spelling)

May 2 – Venus enters the hot-headed sign of Aries until May 28. You will be very assertive in going after a relationship. This can create a strong desire to love someone and be loved in return.  This will add high-speed energy to your love life.  Venus also rules your values.  During this time you could express your values and feelings in bold new ways

May 5 – Sun Conjunct Uranus at 14 degrees of Taurus. Uranus brings in original, eccentric ideas and people that can intrude into your life via a sudden event.  This will affect those of you with personal planets (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, and Mars) or the ascendant at 12 to 16 degrees of Taurus or Scorpio.  Taurus types like a calm, peaceful no-drama life.  Well, today, be ready to be shook up. On the other hand, Scorpio doesn’t mind a rumble once in a while.  The rest of us will feel the energy of Uranus in the house of your chart that contains 14 degrees of Taurus.  This only lasts a couple of days.  Enjoy the surprise that Uranus will spring on you. See the meaning of the houses here.

May 10 – Mercury turns retrograde at 4 degrees of Gemini, dips back into Taurus on the 22^nd of May, turns direct on the 3^rd of June at 22 Taurus, and heads back into Gemini on the 13^th of June.  He will remain in Gemini until July 5. Mercury rules the mind, and how we think and express ourselves.  Gemini wants to read everything, know everything and talk about everything. If you have any Geminis around you at this time, you will be able to see the smoke coming out of their ears. Taurus on the other hand will stay asleep during the whole thing.

May 10 – Jupiter enters Aries. Jupiter represents optimism, growth, generosity, joy, and abundance.  In Aries, you will attract these things when you lead, initiate, inspire others, and demonstrate enthusiasm and courage. In Aries, you identify strongly with your own opinions, beliefs, and perceptions.  During this time you have the confidence to push forward with your plans. The areas of your life ruled by the house in your natal chart that contains Aries will be more joyful and good luck could come in around those areas.  Aries types tend to go over the top anyway and Jupiter will urge them to go further and higher. You are an Aries type if you have the Sun, Moon, or the Ascendant in Aries.  Watch out for being too pushy, I mean more than you usually are.

May 15 – Sun Square Saturn at 24 Taurus and Aquarius.  Don’t take risks today; you could be disappointed and also disillusioned. A downer day if you have personal planets or the ascendant at 22 to 26 Taurus or Aquarius.

May 16 – Full Moon Lunar Eclipse at 25 Taurus.  This is a very complex eclipse.  Read my eclipse report to understand this energy. Those affected have personal planets or the ascendant at 23 to 27 degrees of Taurus or Scorpio. It’s time to let go and open up to new ideas and ways of life.

May 18 – Mars conjunct Neptune at 24 degrees of Pisces.  Where are you going?  Are you lost?  Sometimes it’s good to be lost because then you can find a new path forward.  But with Neptune, you need to watch out for scams today.  Don’t believe anyone or anything.  Your best bet is to go to a park and talk to the trees.

May 19 – Sun Trine Pluto at 28 Taurus/Capricorn.  This is a very good grounded, practical aspect.  Work with someone you trust.  You can accomplish a lot today if (as our old school teachers said) you apply yourself.  This will be an especially productive day if you have personal planets or the ascendant at 26 degrees of Taurus to 29 degrees of Taurus or Capricorn or at 0 degrees of Aries or Aquarius.

May 20 – Sun Enters Gemini until June 21. During this month you want to know everything about every subject. You can be very nosy about everyone else’s business and become a big gossip. You are social and insatiably curious. This is a good time to put all of your diverse interests into writing.  But like the other three mutable signs (Virgo, Sagittarius, or Pisces) you could just spend this month spinning your wheels and accomplish zilch.

May 21 – Sun Conjunct Mercury at 0 Gemini. Both business and pleasure are favorable under this aspect. Your mind is buzzing.  This is a good day to plan a trip or communicate with others. You are especially brilliant today if you have personal planets or the ascendant at 28 Taurus to 2 Gemini.

May 22 – Mercury enters Taurus until June 13.  During this time we all become more grounded and practical.  We can give common-sense advice to each other and we are not interested in new-fangled ideas that our fellow Aquarians are spouting off.

May 24 – Mars enters Aries until July 5. Uh oh, the god of war, the ruler of Aries is in Aries. This is a time to wake up and accomplish something. We may all become more brash and impulsive.  Check the house in your birth chart that contains Aries.  This is the area of your life where you can channel this energy.

May 25 – Mercury Trine Pluto at 28 degrees of Taurus/Capricorn. Another good day to get a lot accomplished.  Taurus rules gardens and Capricorn rules land so get out there and dig in the dirt.  This is a great gardening day if you have personal planets or the ascendant at 26 to 29 Taurus/Capricorn or at 0 Gemini/Aquarius.

May 27 – Venus Square Pluto at 28 degrees of Aries/Capricorn. The person you meet today on a blind date could be a controlling sociopath.  Don’t say I didn’t warn you. It’s best to stay home if you have personal planets or the ascendant at 26 through 29 degrees of Aries or Capricorn or at 0 degrees of Taurus or Aquarius.

May 28 – Venus enters Taurus until June 22. Venus loves it here, she wants to cuddle, eat, sleep and indulge herself.  Enjoy this period. Don’t worry about being lazy and gaining weight. You don’t want to deny Aphrodite.

May 29 – Mars Conjunct Jupiter at 3 degrees of Aries.  Jupiter expands every planet he touches. Here he is increasing the energy of Mars.  This is a good day to hike or work out in the gym. If you have personal planets or the ascendant at 1 to 5 degrees of Aries be careful of impulsive actions today.

May 30 – Memorial Day.  A New Moon at 9 degrees of Gemini. This new moon will influence our life until the full moon on June 14.  This period brings in change and spontaneity, but It can help us keep a cool head.  We can become more talkative. This energy will be stronger if you have personal planets or the ascendant at 7 to 9 degrees of Gemini.  Check your birth chart for the house that contains 9 degrees of Gemini. This is the area of life where you will experience an urge for something new.

OUTER PLANET TRANSITS:

JUPITER moved into Pisces on Dec 2, 2021, and he will stay in Pisces until May 10, 2022.  Jupiter enters Aries on May 11 and will stay in Aries until Oct 29 when backs back into Pisces. This month he will travel from 27 Pisces to 3 Aries. Jupiter in Aries is about taking the lead in our life.  Jupiter’s effects are to expand our experiences, our knowledge, and our understanding.   If you have personal planets or the ascendant between 25 degrees of Pisces to 5 degrees of Aries expect expansion and blossoming in that area of your chart.

SATURN is in Aquarius until March 2023.  He is moving from 24 to 25 degrees of Aquarius this month.  Saturn rules our material world, and especially our career.  Saturn is the old traditional ruler of Aquarius.  So he is happy here.  If you have the ascendant or any personal planets 22 to 27 degrees of Aquarius, you may be in store for some hard lessons around the issues ruled by the planet and the house the planet is in or rules. While Saturn is in Aquarius, he will run around trying to restrict all of the social media that he will call fake news.  He hates to see freedom of expression which is what Aquarius is all about.

URANUS is in Taurus until Apr 2026.  This month he moves 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, (12 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 such as earthquakes volcanos or major weather events during the period that Uranus is in Taurus.

NEPTUNE (creativity, sensitivity, escapism, dreams) is in Pisces until 2026. This month he moves from at 24 to 25 degrees.  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 22 to 27 degrees of Pisces or Virgo. For the enlightened out there, Neptune can also bring artistic, musical, creative expression, increased dreams, and spiritual insights. Watch for some really inspired films to come out during the time Neptune is in Pisces. 

PLUTO is in Capricorn until 2023.  This month, Pluto is moving retrograde and stays at 28 degrees of Capricorn.  Profound changes will be felt especially by those with the ascendant or personal planets at 26 degrees of Capricorn or Cancer to 1 degree of Aquarius or Leo.  What needs to die in order to be reborn?

Have a great Month

Eclipses of April and May 2022

The first eclipse on April 30 is a Solar Eclipse in the sign of Taurus.  The second eclipse 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 30 at 10 degrees of Taurus

This Solar Eclipse will be visible in Antarctica and the Southern Tip of South America.

Solar Eclipses tend to relate to sudden events that disrupt our day-to-day functioning; they are 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 Taurus themes – your values, banking, property, housing, land, food production, and farming.  The six months following this eclipse is an ideal time to make a fresh start in all of these Taurus areas.

This Solar eclipse is conjunct Uranus the planet of liberation and rebellion at 14 degrees of Taurus.  With Uranus in the picture, we could see disruptions in the food supply and sudden geomagnetic events. Uranus is truth and awakening.  He can bring clarity to a situation. This eclipse also sextiles Mars so we could see battles for personal freedom or a favorable opportunity to take a big bold action.

 The ruler of this eclipse is Venus, the planet of love, diplomacy, and harmony.  Venus rules money and Taurus craves financial security.  Venus is in Pisces and conjunct to the rare Jupiter/Neptune conjunction.  Venus here will boost the energies of the Jupiter/Neptune energies. We could become indulgent and go over the top with spending or excess of any kind.  Since Neptune rules oil and water among other things, this could mean higher oil prices and flooding.  Also,  Pluto, the planet of corruption, passion, and obsession is stopping in the sky at 28 degrees of Capricorn and turning retrograde. Adding Pluto to the Venus, Jupiter, and Neptune conjunction could lead to the revelation of secrets. 

This Solar Eclipse is opposite Vladimir Putin’s Venus at 11degrees of Scorpio. He will become aware of his financial situation and his popularity because of changes in those areas.

I think the end of the month will be a wild and crazy ride with surprising and sometimes shocking information coming in. And Venus with Jupiter and Neptune in Pisces in a tight conjunction can create compassion, inspired art, and love of mankind. This triple conjunction in a sextile to Pluto can bring massive creative power and transformation.  Maybe the secrets and the wake-up call that happens during this eclipse will cause a positive response in the collective.

 Lunar Eclipse on May 16 at 25 degrees of Scorpio

This eclipse will be visible In North and South America, Europe, Africa, and parts of Asia.  Check here to see if it will be visible in your part of the world.

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.

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

A Lunar eclipse is a very unstable energy.  Change is in the air, but don’t start anything new until June.   Mercury is going retrograde from May 10 thru June 3, so wait a few weeks after June 3 to start a new project.  But the lunar eclipse will open you up to accepting new ideas.

This is a very complex Lunar Eclipse because of the many other planets that it is aspecting. It is in a trine to Mars at 23 Pisces, squares Saturn at 24 Aquarius, in a sextile to Pluto at 28 Capricorn, and in a trine to Neptune at 24 Pisces.  I’m going to take a stab at what could result from all of these planets involved with the Lunar Eclipse. Mars could represent taking positive action.  Neptune could mean our direction is confusing or we are being deceived. Pluto means that the Lunar Eclipse is shining a light on news or events that reveal corruption or something that was buried. But some of the aspects are beneficial. The eclipse sextiles Pluto and trines Neptune so what come up could be healing in some way.

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.  You can also email me for a coaching session on how these eclipses will affect your chart.

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 dates 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.  Mars will trigger the Solar eclipse on July 20 and 21 2022 and Mars will trigger the Lunar Eclipse on Aug 12 and 13^th of 2022.

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 eclipse in Oct and Nov of 2022.   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 30, 2022, at 10 degrees of Taurus will affect you if you have personal planets (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, and/or Mars) or the ascendant at 8 to 12 degrees of Taurus or Scorpio.  Also, look at your natal chart for the houses that contain 10 degrees of Taurus or Scorpio.  It may mean the end of one set of circumstances and the beginning of another in that area of your life.

The Lunar Eclipse of May 16 at 25 degrees of Scorpio will affect you if you have personal planets or the ascendant at 23 to 27 degrees of Taurus or Scorpio.  Also, look at your natal chart for the 2 houses that hold 25 degrees of Taurus and Scorpio. 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.  We had a lunar eclipse at these same points on May 16, 2003.  Look back to what happened then. This will continue a theme that was playing out at that time
