Mythic Zodiac

February 2023 Forecast

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

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

 

Dates to Watch:

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

Feb 2 – Groundhog  Day

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

OUTER PLANET TRANSITS FOR THIS MONTH:

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

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

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

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

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

Have a great month.

December 2022 Forecast

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

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

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

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

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

 

Dates to Watch:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

 

OUTER PLANET TRANSITS:

JUPITER is in Pisces until December 20. He will move from 23 Pisces to 1 degree of Aries. He is the big fat happy guy who is excessive in all things.

Have a great month and enjoy the Holidays.

November 2022 Forecast

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

 

Dates to Watch:

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

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

Nov 6 – Daylight Saving Time ends at 2 AM

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Nov 24 – Thanksgiving Day. 

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

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

 

OUTER PLANET TRANSITS:

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

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

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

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

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

Have a great month and a Happy Thanksgiving.

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

May 2022 Forecast

Photo by Steven Kane

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

April 2022 Forecast

What is the role of psychotherapy during the many crises we are experiencing now?  Robert Romanyshyn tackles this problem in this video entitled Psychotherapy during times of War, Climate Change, and Pandemic 

https://youtu.be/ciMP-3bxKqY

Robert Romanyshyn is an Emeritus Professor of Psychology at Pacifica Graduate Institute and the author of eight books. 

********

I am taking a second look at A Terrible Love of War, a book by James Hillman published in 2005.  Most of us don’t want to read or think about war, but In Hillman’s book, he writes about Mars, the God of war. According to Hillman, the god of war is an archetype that needs to be acknowledged and honored.  How do we do that without bloodshed?  His book goes a long way to answering that question.  And speaking about Hillman, Pacifica Graduate Institute is offering a course on Hillman presented by his friend, Thomas Moore. I’m really looking forward to this course.  Here is the registration page.  Registration closes on April 6.

*****

This month Pluto will station at 28 degrees and slowly turn retrograde. Pluto is in the last degrees of Capricorn.  He was joined by Saturn in 2019 until Dec of 2020 and Jupiter joined him in Dec 2019 until Dec 2020. He also had help from Venus and Mars, who joined him from Jan 22 until early March 22.  He had some good buddies to help him hold onto the old guard and impose global control.  He is all alone now in Capricorn, so his power may be weakening, but he is still a tough cookie and won’t totally let go until he moves into Aquarius the sign of revolution in April 2023. In four years, when he is in Aquarius, he will move into a conjunction with Russia’s Moon-- the Russian people.  Because Pluto moves so slowly, we could start to foresee the change in the soul of Russia and its people as soon as April 2023.  Stay tuned.

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 April aspects will affect your chart.

Apr 1 – New Moon at 11 Aries. This is the first New Moon after the vernal equinox so it signifies the beginning of the year. Any intention you perform during this New Moon will be effective for the entire year. This New Moon is conjunct Mercury and in Aries, he is frank and forthright.  Aries is about heroic action.  It pushes forward without a care for the slower dreamy types.  Anger could cause you to say something you will later regret.  We could all become mentally active. People around you will do or say whatever they want. You could be on the receiving end or the pushy end.  See where 11 Aries falls in your birth chart.  That area of life should be included in your intention for the year.  See the Meaning of the Houses here.

Apr 4 – Mars Conjunct Saturn at 22 degrees of Aquarius.  This is a warlike aspect.  We could see conflicts in the world. Mars wants to move ahead, be active, accomplish something, BUT Saturn puts on the brakes. So this is not a good time to travel or to make plans.  Just stay home and do some work around the house especially if you have personal planets (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, and Mars) or the ascendant at 20 to 24 degrees of Aries or Libra.

Apr 5 – Venus Enters Pisces until May 2.  Venus is exalted in Pisces.  Pisces has no boundaries, she wants to dream and fantasize without interruption.  Venus doesn’t like boundaries either; she wants to love whoever or whatever she wants.  We could all end up in a sentimental, emotional mush pile during this time.  Watch Virgos go nuts during this time as he tries to tell people to ‘get real.'

Apr 10 – Mercury Square Pluto at 28 Aries/Capricorn. Be careful because some underworld character can rip you off.  Don’t go bragging about how you don’t trust the banks so you have a stack of money hidden in your underwear drawer. Keep mum about your plans. Just because you are paranoid doesn’t mean there isn’t someone out to get you. If you have personal planets or the ascendant at 26 Aries to1 Taurus, you are too trusting, be careful.  If you have personal planets or the ascendant at 26 Capricorn to 1 Aquarius, you are paranoid already, so stop peering out the window.

          Mercury enters Taurus until April 29.  Mercury wants to flit around with the feathers on his ankles and visit one subject then read about another. He is the butterfly of the zodiac. Taurus is not into butterflies. He wants to live on the earth, dig into the earth, and feel he is on solid ground. Taurus is a fixed sign so during this time we may have trouble changing our minds even if the evidence is right in front of us that we are dead wrong.

Apr 12 – Jupiter Conjunct Neptune at 23 degrees of Pisces.  Jupiter conjuncts Neptune every 13 years, but the last time they joined up in Pisces was in 1856. Jupiter is the traditional ruler of Pisces and Neptune is the modern ruler. Therefore this is a triple Pisces aspect.  You could be disillusioned or disoriented.  You could be abducted by fairies, so stay out of the woods and don’t travel to Ireland.  I hear that is where they hang out.  Culturally this could bring in a renaissance in music, film, and art. Look to the house in your birth chart for 23 degrees of Pisces.  This is the area of your life where your creativity will soar. Pisces rules shamans and the other worlds. You could find out you are a medium and start talking to dead people.  Culturally, we could be subject to mass hysteria or be deceived by the media more than usual. Neptune reveals things, and with Jupiter, there could be a big reveal.  Maybe our media will start talking about the leak in the Swiss Bank. The biggest bank scandal the world has ever experienced.  It happened on Feb 20, but this news was obscured by the Ukraine/Russia conflict. Watch the news.  This aspect covers all of April and half of May.  If you have a lot of Pisces energy in your birth chart use this energy to intuit your hidden talents.  A very powerful transit if you have personal planets or the ascendant at 21 to 25 degrees of Pisces. 

Apr 14 – Mars in Pisces until May 24. Just what we need, more Pisces. Mars rules a fire sign and Pisces is a water sign.  If Mars wants to get anywhere, he has to swim. This aspect creates a drive to be charitable and compassionate. Mars could get activated to help the unfortunate in our society.

Apr 16 - Full Moon at 26 Libra.  This will bring fulfillment or culmination of what was promised on the New Moon of April 1.  A Full Moon covers two signs that have opposite energies.  Our job is to reconcile them.  Aries is the self, Libra rules others.  We need to balance our need to be an individual with our need for relationships. If you have personal planets or the ascendant at 24 to 28 degrees of Aries or Libra, the next two weeks is a time when you will be dealing with this issue.

Apr 18 – Mercury Conjunct Uranus at 13 degrees of Taurus.  Expect the unexpected.  Sudden, upsetting news could come in to cause you to make quick decisions.  If you have personal planets or the ascendant at 11 or 14 degrees of Taurus or Scorpio Your brain sparkles and you could have some ingenious, progressive ideas today.

          Sun Square Pluto at 28 degrees of Aries/Capricorn.  Someone is in direct conflict with you.  Try to maintain harmony. That may take some self-control since the other person is a manipulative monster.  Stay calm if you have personal planets or the ascendant at 26 Aries to 1 Taurus or 26 Capricorn to 1 Aquarius.

Apr 19 – Sun enters Taurus until May 20.  This is a good month to attend to all of our practical issues such as your home and garden.  It’s a beautiful time in nature as a lot of the spring flowers are blooming.  The myth for Taurus is King Midas and who was a great rose gardener. He was also very materialistic and loved money, but as he got older he realized that the most valuable thing in the world is our environment, the earth. Prepare to celebrate Earth Day on the 22^nd.

Apr 24 – Mercury Square Saturn at 23 degrees of Taurus/Aquarius. Mercury can get his feathers clipped today.  He wants to flit around and talk to everyone about everything, but Saturn stops him and he has to think before he speaks.  That is very frustrating for Mercury, but may be a good lesson. If you have personal planets or the ascendant at 21 to 25 degrees of Taurus or Aquarius, be serious for a change.

Apr 27 – Venus Conjunct Neptune at 24 degrees of Pisces. This is a great day for creative expression and for envisioning a blissful future. If you have personal planets or the ascendant at 22 to 26 degrees of Pisces or Virgo, watch your dreams, they may be telling you something important.

Apr 28 – Mercury Trine Pluto at 28 degrees of Taurus/Scorpio. Pluto comes in to help us think through some problems and also he helps us dig deep into what is bothering us. If you have personal planets or the ascendant at 26 degrees of Taurus to 1 degree of Gemini or 26 degrees of Scorpio to 1 degree of Sagittarius, this would be a good day to go for some cognitive therapy.

Apr 29 – Pluto retrogrades at 28 Capricorn until Oct 8, 2022. Look for personal planets or the ascendant at 26 Capricorn to 1 Aquarius.  You may want to dive deep into research or try to understand the psychotic people around you.  Take your pick. Also, the area of life covered by the house in the birth chart that contains 28 Capricorn could go through a death and rebirth process.

Mercury enters Gemini until May 10.  Mercury rules Gemini and is very chatty here.  Everyone wants to talk and no one wants to listen.  A good time for writing, learning, and teaching.

Apr 30 – Partial Solar Eclipse at 10 Taurus. This eclipse looks very good.  The ruler of the eclipse is Venus (Venus rules Taurus) and Venus is conjunct Jupiter and the Eclipse is sextile Mars in Pisces and conjunct Uranus in Taurus.  Wow. A great start, abundance, and exciting times ahead.  I will write about how this eclipse will affect you personally in another report.

OUTER PLANET TRANSITS:

JUPITER moved into Pisces on Dec 2, 2021, and he will stay in Pisces until May 10, 2022.  This month he will travel from 21 to 27 degrees of Pisces. Jupiter is the old traditional ruler of Pisces so he is happy here. Jupiter is about growth and expansion and rules travel and education. Also, the areas of your life ruled by the house in your natal chart that contains Pisces will be more joyful and good luck could come in around those areas. Jupiter in Pisces is about our spiritual life and about the fine arts, theater, and poetry.  Pisces is a very creative sign and Jupiter is going to expand it. If you have personal planets or the ascendant between 19 and 29 degrees of Pisces expect expansion and blossoming in that area of your chart.

SATURN is in Aquarius until March 2023.  He is moving from 22 to 24 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 20 to 26 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 12 to 14 degrees of Taurus.   This is the time to break loose and make some radical changes in your life. I believe in ‘cooperating with the inevitable’.  If you have Uranus in a challenging aspect to your ascendant or personal planets, (10 to 16 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 23 to 24 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 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 during the time Neptune is in Pisces. 

PLUTO is in Capricorn until 2023.  This month, Pluto stays at 28 degrees of Capricorn and turns retrograde on the 29^th.  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

March 2022 Forecast

I consider the first day of Spring in Maryland to occur when the crocuses first stick their head above ground. They are here!

The USA Pluto Return.- Pluto has traveled all the way around the Sun and is back to where it was on the birth chart of the United States (July 4, 1776). It’s called a Pluto return and only occurs every 246 to 248 years.  Pluto rules decay and destruction.  The exact conjunct was on February 20th, 2022, and will be exact again on July 11th, 2022, and December 28th, 2022.  Pluto moves very slowly and Pluto’s death and rebirth process takes time. When my clients are having an important transit that aspects their chart 3 times or more, I advise them to pay attention to the first pass of the transit because the events on the first pass will be similar or show an advance on the following passes. Also, I look at the house where the transit is happening to determine what area of life the transit will be affecting.

The Pluto return is happening in the United States’ second house of money and resources. So I think this aspect will affect that area of our chart. I have noticed that we have experienced a major wealth transfer to the rich since Pluto went into orb in 2008.  That was the year of the housing crisis. In the last few years, I have witnessed big pharma making 19 billion dollars and 1% of people having their wealth double while 99% percent of the people had their income drop drastically.   A lot of middle and small businesses were closed down while Amazon had a record two years.

So I was all set to send this newsletter out and then Putin decides to go into Ukraine. Is this part of our Pluto Return?  Pluto is about power struggles. The US is also experiencing a Neptune opposite Neptune cycle, which happens every 187 years. An opposition shows conflict.  Neptune rules oil and gas and of course, they are important resources of the United States.  Looking at Biden and Pluto’s chart, they both have four planets including the Sun in the 12^th house of secrets and whatever is hidden from view. It’s fairly rare to have 4 planets in the 12^th and rarer still to have two world leaders with the same profile, it’s amazing.  Neither of them will reveal themselves to anyone. 

Let me look at the transits in March in relation to the Ukraine/Russian conflict.  The New Moon on the 2^nd is in a conjunction with Jupiter.  You may think this is a good thing, but Jupiter does have a shadow side. He escalates things and he can go out of bounds.   Also, on the 2^nd we have Mars conjunct Pluto.  It could indicate a massive deadly war.  But Mars leaves this aspect by Friday.  Looking at this, I think the worst of this conflict will happen this week.  We also have Mars and Venus opposing Uranus in mid-March and Mars and Venus conjunct Saturn at the end of March. So this conflict could de-escalate after Friday, March 4, but ramifications could linger through the month.

Putin’s birth chart shows that he is having the progressed Sun trining Pluto on the midheaven of his destiny. He feels he can’t fail.  But transiting Saturn is opposing his MC.  Saturn loves to see someone fall on their face.  Could  Happen.  Putin’s Pluto is on Zelensky’s Moon.  Putin sees him as weak, but he’s not.  Having the Sun in Aquarius and Gemini rising, Zelensky is playing the role of the reluctant hero, but Leo moon people are tough.  In a conflict, I always like to compare Moon signs because it shows our inner strength or weakness. Putin’s Moon is in Gemini. His Inner self is weak, but the Moon had just entered Gemini when he was born. If we have the wrong birth time, it could be in Taurus, the strongest, most stubborn Moon there is.

 

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.

Mar 2 – New Moon at 12 Pisces conjunct Jupiter.  Jupiter is expansive and sometimes flies too close to the Sun and falls to earth.  But in his positive aspect, Jupiter is the planet of gifts, luck, hope, optimism, and generosity.  The New Moon signals a new start.  Let’s all have faith in a happy future. This will be especially powerful for those of you with planets between 9 and 15 degrees of mutable signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces).  Look at the house in your birth chart that contains 12 Pisces, this is the area of life that will experience a new start.  See the Meaning of the houses here.

          Mercury conjunct Saturn at 18 degrees of Aquarius.  You need to pay attention to the details on this one.  Have you worked on your taxes yet?  Do them today. This aspect is especially potent for those of you with personal planets (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, and Mars) or the ascendant at 16 to 20 degrees of Aquarius.

Mar 3 – Mars Conjunct Pluto at 27 Degrees of Capricorn.  An unstoppable force (Mars) meets an immovable object (Pluto). Do I have any solutions or workarounds?  No.  The psychopaths are out to play with you today-- hide. You are especially vulnerable if you have personal planets or the ascendant at 25 to 29 degrees of Capricorn or Cancer.

          Venus Conjunct Pluto at 27 degrees of Capricorn.  If you are an innocent Persephone type (Sagittarius or Pisces), you could be abducted by a dark-haired, Scorpio.  Also, watch out for someone with many planets in aspect to Pluto in their natal chart.   Be careful, especially if you have personal planets or the ascendant at 25 to 29 degrees of Capricorn.

(Venus conjunct Mars, Conjunct Pluto is a triple conjunction. The old-time astrologers wrote that this is about passionate love, sex, and procreation.   Be careful out there.)

Mar 5 – Sun Conjunct Jupiter at 14 Pisces. The Sun shines a light on hopeful Jupiter in hopeful Pisces.  Being a child of Saturn, I can’t take this much good news.   If you feel you have been in a rut and haven’t we all, this aspect could give you the lift you need especially if you have 12 to 16 degrees of Pisces or Virgo.

Mar 6 – Venus Conjunct Mars at 29 Capricorn.  Venus and Mars will be conjunct each other starting early last month until early April.   Mars puts a lot of energy and initiative into relationships and creative projects.

After the conjunction, Mars and Venus will enter Aquarius.  What a relief. Aquarius is a lot more fun than Capricorn. (Sorry Caps).

          Mars enters Aquarius until April 14.  Mars was much more powerful in Capricorn.  But Mars the god of war is not always great when he is powerful.  Now the energy goes into community living, science, high tech, and inventions.

Venus enters Aquarius until April 5. Venus can remain cool and distant in Aquarius.  In this sign, she loves to play the field.  She is also very rebellious and she can decide to get into a relationship that shocks the ‘normies.’  I know it's fun to be shocking.

Mar 9 – Mercury in Pisces until March 27.  Your thinking can get a little fuzzy now. But it’s a great time to daydream and read fantasy novels.  Take it easy, you work too hard most of the time.

Mar 13 – Daylight Savings time begins at 2 AM.

Sun Conjunct Neptune at 20 Pisces.  Someone could be pulling a fast one; is it someone you know or one of our tricky politicians.   Be alert today, don’t lend or borrow money.  Don’t believe everything you hear and most importantly, don’t believe what you think. Be aware of what is going on around you especially if you have personal planets or the ascendant at 18 to 22 Pisces or Virgo.

Mar 18 – Full Moon at 27 Virgo/Pisces.  This is a culmination or fulfillment of what was started on the New Moon of March 2.  Virgo is about how we deal with our day-to-day life, while Pisces is how we deal with our spiritual lives. The Full Moon is asking us to find a balance between the two.  This Full Moon is in a trine aspect to Pluto which will help us make a healthy transformation in the houses containing 27 Pisces and Virgo.  This FM will affect people with personal planets or the ascendant at 24 to 20 degrees of Pisces or Virgo.

Mar 19 – Venus Square Uranus at 15 degrees of Aquarius and Taurus.  Don’t give or ask for advice.  You and those around you are quite cranky today.  You can get your back up, refuse to compromise, and take advice.  I do astrology charts of families and the Uranus families are the most interesting.  In these families, everyone tells everyone else what to do and no one is listening.

Mar 20 – Sun enters Aries until April 19.  The Sun is the planet of vitality and power and it is entering the sign of its exaltation.  We feel great and it helps that it is the first day of spring.

Mar 21 – Mercury Conjunct Jupiter at 18 degrees of Pisces. You could get some good news today; maybe something about an opportunity for a trip.  Jupiter is also positive for advertising and publishing.  So send out your marketing materials today.  A very positive day if you have personal planets or the ascendant at 16 to 20 degrees of Pisces or Virgo.

Mar 22 – Mars Square Uranus at 12 degrees of Aquarius and Taurus. Stay out of crowds. People can get crazy on this one. Remain silent about your personal plans.  Be careful, this is can cause accidents if you have personal planets or the ascendant at 10 to 14 degrees of Aquarius or Taurus.

Mar 23 – Mercury Conjunct Neptune at 23 degrees of Pisces. Slow down, you can’t keep up the pace.  I know you have been running around trying to see everyone you missed during Covid and to get a lot accomplished, but this is a relaxing aspect.  Stay home and read the news, some scandals could erupt today about a famous person and you know how you love to read about other people’s problems.  If you have personal planets or the ascendant at 21 to 25 degrees of Pisces or Virgo your thinking can be foggy, clouded, and unrealistic.

Mar 27 – Mercury enters Aries until April 10. No one has filters at this time, including you.  Your remarks could be cutting, Aries is the fighter and here you are fighting with your tongue. Be ready to say you’re sorry for what you said.

Mar 28 – Venus Conjunct Saturn at 21 Aquarius. Your relationships could cool down now.  You are more sober and considerate of others. This could mean making a commitment to a relationship.  Saturn likes to settle down, but be careful because Saturn loves snuggling down into a rut and will stay there a lifetime.  If you have personal planets or the ascendant at 19 to 23 degrees of Aquarius or Leo, be careful what you commit to today.

  

OUTER PLANET TRANSITS:

JUPITER moved into Pisces on Dec 2, 2021, and he will stay in Pisces until May 10, 2022.  This month he will travel from 11 to 21 degrees of Pisces. Jupiter is the old traditional ruler of Pisces so he is happy here. Jupiter is about growth and expansion and rules travel and education. Also, the areas of your life ruled by the house in your natal chart that contains Pisces will be more joyful and good luck could come in around those areas. Jupiter in Pisces is about our spiritual life and about the fine arts, theater, and poetry.  Pisces is a very creative sign and Jupiter is going to expand it. If you have personal planets or the ascendant between 11 and 21 degrees of Pisces expect expansion and blossoming in that area of your chart.

SATURN is in Aquarius until March 2023.  He is moving from 18 to 21 degrees of Aquarius this month.  Saturn rules our material world, and especially our career. If you have felt stymied in that area, now is the time to move ahead.  But you need to make plans and put in the hard work. Saturn is the old traditional ruler of Aquarius.  So he is happy here.   If you have the ascendant or any personal planets 18 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 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 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, (14 to 16 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 22 to 23 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 23 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 moves from 27 to 28 degrees of Capricorn.  Profound changes will be felt especially by those with the ascendant or personal planets at 24 to 29 degrees of Capricorn or Cancer. What needs to die in order to be reborn?

Have a great Month

February 2022 Forecast

February will be intense. We have a planetary pile-up in Capricorn, a Venus/Mars conjunction, Mercury will stop in the sky on top of Pluto, and a New Moon that ticks off the Saturn/Uranus square.  Whew!

The highlight of this month is the Venus conjunct to Mars. Venus is Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty and she just could not resist the charms of Mars who is Ares, the god of war even though she was married to the sweet Virgo guy, Hephaestus.  Hephaestus took good care of her and made her girdles and beautiful jewelry with his forge.  In fact, she only married him because of his skill and expertise because he was really quite ugly.   BUT, Ares was just too sexy. Just when they were doing the deed, Helios, the Sun, the big blabbermouth, sees them and tells Hephaestus what was going on. Hephaestus wove a golden net and captured them naked in the bed and strung them up, bed and all so that everyone could see.  Even the gods came to watch and they roared with laughter.

We will have Venus hooking up with Mars for a long time starting at the beginning of this month and becoming very nearly exact on Valentine’s Day and this aspect will continue until the beginning of April. They will be dancing together starting at mid degrees of Capricorn and continue together in early Aquarius on March 7.  They will not separate until April 6.  Check the house in your birth chart that contains late Capricorn and early Aquarius. Don’t do anything indiscreet that could lead to a scandal or to the gods laughing at you.  They don’t need to be entertained, our daily life amuses them enough. AND don’t leave your practical, generous partner for some flash in the pan Ares. Pay attention to the myths, they can guide you.

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.

Feb 1 – New Moon at 5 Aquarius.  This new moon sets off the Saturn Uranus square we have had for most of 2021. We may see this conflict recur for the next two weeks.  This aspect pits Authority against Freedom.  Since Uranus turned retrograde in August 2021, it has been easy for Saturn to bully Uranus into submission.  But Uranus turned direct on Jan 18 and he is in his full power now

 The ruler of Aquarius is Uranus and Uranus stands for truth, rebellion, and the awakener.  Uranus is in aspect to this New Moon, but also the New Moon is conjunct Saturn.   We could see more truth coming to light.  I expect the narrative around the lockdowns, the mandates, and all the other restrictions to collapse.  Watch for this, free at last.

Also, because this new moon is in a square to Uranus we could experience cyber-attacks that affect our food production or banking.  It’s impossible to predict how Uranus will react because he rules surprises.  We could have an earthquake, politically or geographically.  Who knows with Uranus?  Look at the house that contains 5 degrees of Uranus, this is the area of your life that will experience a new start.  See the meaning of the houses here.

The archetype for Aquarius is Prometheus.  He stole the fire from the gods and brought it to mankind.  He was the only humanitarian god. Do an intention on this New Moon to discover the gift that you can bring to the rest of us.

Feb 3 – Mercury turns direct at 24 Capricorn.  He stops in the sky preparing to turn direct right on top of Pluto –another intense aspect having to do with our mind.  Be careful of your writing and speech. Mercury really hates to slog through Capricorn. He likes to flit around on his tiny wings but Capricorn, being an old stick-in-the-mud senex, won’t let him.  So he needs to work on his taxes, pay off his mortgage and take care of the old folks.

Feb 4 – Sun conjunct Saturn at 15 degrees of Aquarius.  There could be some new restrictions happening in the world.  But I don’t think they will last long. We only have one Sun/Saturn aspect every year, take advantage of this and start a new project of hard work.  Saturn loves to see you sweat.  If you have personal planets or the ascendant at 13 to 17 degrees of Aquarius, declutter and organize your life, make Saturn happy.

Feb 8 – Mars trine Uranus at 11 degrees of Capricorn/Taurus.  This is brilliant.  I love this aspect.  Mars is now in Capricorn in his exaltation which means he performs very well here and he is in harmony with Uranus who tends to be a wild and crazy guy, but Mars will put him to work to create something of value. If you have personal planets or the ascendant, at 9 to 16 degrees of Capricorn or Taurus, get to work on some original ideas.  This aspect will be in orb for a week before this date and a week after.

Feb 11 – Mercury Conjunct Pluto at 27 Capricorn.  This is the last of the three Mercury Conjunct Pluto aspects that we have experienced during the last 2 weeks. Keep your plans and intentions to yourself.  You could meet with complete humiliation if someone finds out about what you are up to.  If you have personal planets or the ascendant at 25 to 29 Capricorn, Mums the word.

Feb 14 – Mercury enters Aquarius until March 9. This is a repeat from January 14 to the 25^th when Mercury was moving retrograde in Aquarius.  Were you stymied then and not able to see the future?  Maybe you can see your way forward now.  Mercury is pretty bright in this sign.  Aquarius is an air sign and Mercury, the thinker loves it here.  A lot of far-out, original ideas can come to you. Get out your notebook.  Later, some of your ideas may even make sense.

Feb 16 – Full Moon at 27 Leo. On a Full Moon, the Sun is opposite the Moon and It is up to us to integrate the two energies.  The Sun is in Aquarius and the Moon in Leo.  Leo is about ME.  What pleases me, what is good for me, opposite what is good for everyone, what will work for everyone? You may be asked to tone down your narcissism on this one and think about the community.  Check the two houses in your charts that contain 27 Aquarius and 27 Leo.  These are the areas where you need to find a balance between yourself and others.

          Venus conjunct Mars.  I wrote about the relationship part of the conjunction above, but there is another area of our life that Venus and Mars could affect.  Venus rules the arts and Mars rules initiative. So, get out those old dried-up paints, your outdated Nikon camera, or the guitar that has been gathering dust in the corner and start creating something of beauty.  Venus and Mars will help you.

Feb 18 – Sun enters Pisces until March 20.  The ruler of Pisces is Neptune.  During this month you will want to escape from the harshness of the world—to daydream and fantasize about the past.  It’s a good time to join a spiritual group or start a meditation practice.  But try to keep your feet planted on the ground.

Feb 24 – Mercury Square Uranus at 10 Aquarius/Taurus.  News could come in that really irritates you.  In fact, you are irritable about everything today.  You may fall back to your favorite response to it all-- Sarcasm.  If you have personal planets or the ascendant at 8 to 12 Aquarius or Taurus, try to stay calm.  I think Taurus will be able to do this, but Aquarius?  Not so much.

Feb 26 to the 27^th.  The Moon will join Venus, Mars and Pluto to form a powerful, concentrated pile up in Capricorn.   If you have personal planets or the ascendant between 22 and 29 degrees of Capricorn, Aries, or Cancer expect to be transformed or traumatized.  And also look at the house in your chart that contains Capricorn.  This is the area of your life that could be turned upside down.  ( I know I’m being a little harsh here, but it’s cold outside and snowing AGAIN!)

OUTER PLANET TRANSITS:

JUPITER moved into Pisces on Dec 2.  This month he will travel from 7 to 13 degrees of Pisces. Jupiter is the old traditional ruler of Pisces so he is happy here. Jupiter is about growth and expansion and rules travel and education. Also, the areas of your life ruled by the house in your natal chart that contains Pisces will be more joyful and good luck could come in around those areas. Jupiter in Pisces is about our spiritual life and about the fine arts, theater and poetry.  Pisces is a very creative sign and Jupiter is going to expand it. If you have personal planets or the ascendant between 7 and 13 degrees of Pisces expect expansion and blossoming in that area of your chart.

SATURN is in Aquarius until March 2023.  He is moving from 15 to 18 degrees of Aquarius this month.  Saturn rules our material world, and especially our career. If you have felt stymied in that area, now is the time to move ahead.  But you need to make plans and put in the hard work. Saturn is the old traditional ruler of Aquarius.  So he is happy here.   If you have the ascendant or any personal planets 15 to 18 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 direct last month on the 18^th at 10 degrees of Taurus.  This month he moves from 10 to 11 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, (8 to 13 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 21 to 22 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 19 to 24 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 moves from 26 to 27 degrees of Capricorn.  Profound changes will be felt especially by those with the ascendant or personal planets at 24 to 29 degrees of Capricorn or Cancer. What needs to die in order to be reborn?

Have a great Month

December 2021 Forecast

When is this s**t going to end?  If I hear the word ‘variant’ again I'll scream.  Well this month, we have the third of the Saturn/Uranus square.  We have dealt with this aspect all year. Saturn and Uranus don’t get along at the best of times, but when they are in a square aspect, we can all experience the difference in their energies.  In mythology, Saturn castrated Uranus, ouch.  So look for continued protests (Uranus) around the world against lockdown rules (Saturn).  On a personal level, we want to be free for the holiday season, but it doesn’t look good because that pesky Saturn square Uranus is exact on Dec 24 and is only 3 degrees apart at the beginning of this month, so expect restrictions, personally and globally all month. 

An astrologer I enjoy reading is Lynn Hayes who just wrote a post about the Omicron variant and the pandemic in general.  Enjoy

 

Dates to Watch:

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

Dec 1 – Neptune turns direct today at 20 Pisces.  Neptune went retrograde in June 2021 in Pisces.  Since that time you may have been deceived, confused, or misguided in the areas ruled by the house in your natal chart that contains Pisces.  Starting today, the fog will start to clear and you will be able to make sense of those themes. Check out the meaning of the houses here.

Dec 4 – Solar Eclipse at 12 Sagittarius.  This eclipse is on the USA ascendant.  Watch for an event today that shines a light on how we look to the rest of the world.  Something could occur on Dec 4 or at the end of Dec and early January when Mars triggers the eclipse degree. Read more about this eclipse here. 

Dec 7 - Mercury Square Neptune at 20 degrees of Sagittarius and Pisces.   Your rational mind is not too rational today.  You would rather daydream and read romance novels. Especially spacy if you have personal planets (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, or Mars) or the ascendant at 18 to 22 degrees of Sagittarius or Pisces

Dec 8 – Mars Square Jupiter at 26 degrees of Scorpio/Aquarius.  You get all energized to go out in the street and protest.  Protest what?  You don’t care. You just want to fight with everyone.  Keep your tongue and pen under control if you have personal planets or the ascendant at 24 to 28 degrees of Scorpio or Aquarius.

Dec 11 – Venus Conjunct Pluto at 25 Capricorn. This is not fun.  Persephone is being dragged to the underworld by Pluto.  It’s dark and dingy down there. Venus is love and delight, she wants to be in a cozy, loving relationship, but she meets Pluto, a dark person who shows her things she doesn’t want to look at.  Or maybe you meet your own shadow and that can be scarier than vising the literal underworld.  If you have personal planets or the ascendant at 25 Capricorn, or Cancer, try not to be obsessive, compulsive, possessive, and controlling in your relationships. Because Venus is moving retrograde on Dec 19 you will have this aspect two more times.  Sorry.

Dec 12 – Sun Square Neptune at 20 degrees of Sagittarius/Pisces.  You could fall into errors of thinking and give someone bad advice. Postpone all decisions for a few days.  Watch Netflix and relax.  Daydream.  You are out of touch with reality if you have personal planets or the ascendant at 18 to 22 degrees of Sagittarius or Pisces.

Dec 13 – Mars enters Sagittarius until Jan 24, 2022. Mars rules our energy and Sagittarius is sports and entertainment.  You become driven and assertive.  Mars is quite happy in an energetic, fiery sign. He rules Aries which is another energetic fiery sign. You are thinking the sky is the limit, but don’t forget Icarus who flew too close to the Sun.   Don’t take on too much or fly too high, you could fall and be disappointed especially if you are a ‘go for it’ Sagittarius.

                  Mercury enters Capricorn until Feb 14, 2022.  Your thinking becomes very practical and you can concentrate on a task.  Your communications become orderly, logical, and organized.  You are a no-nonsense, bottom-line thinker.  But this sounds kind of boring and it is.  Focus on your career which may also be boring.  Mercury is staying in Capricorn for a long time because he goes retrograde next month on the 14^th in Capricorn and turns direct on Feb 4, 2022, still in Capricorn.  It gives you a lot of time to get organized.

Dec 18 – Full Moon at 27 degrees of Gemini.  A full Moon brings in feelings but Gemini just wants to talk.  I hope you don’t start talking about your feelings, no one wants to hear it.  This is the peak of the New Moon on Dec 4 Solar Eclipse.  What did you plan then?  What have you been working on?  This Full Moon could bring a culmination to your efforts.

Dec 19 – Venus Retrograde until January 29, 2022.  Remember when I told you last month that Venus in Capricorn is all about commitment?  Well, not so fast.  You may have moved in together and now you are daydreaming about how great it was to be single.  Try the moving-in thing again in February 2022.

Dec 20 – Mercury Trine Uranus at 11 Capricorn/Taurus.  I like this one; it’s all about being the life of the party.  You are witty and vivacious.  You could take on a new writing project, especially if you have personal planets or the ascendant at 9 to 13 Capricorn or Taurus.

Dec 21 – Sun enters Capricorn until January 19, 2022.  On this day the Goddess gives birth to the Sun.  We are leaving the darkest part of the year.

Dec 24 – Saturn Square Uranus at 11 Aquarius/Taurus.  This can cause a lot of inner tension for you.  You want to rebel, but realize you may lose the support you need.  If you stay in your comfort zone, you may be giving up on your independence.  What to do?  I wish I knew. This will be especially bothersome for those of you with personal planets or the ascendant at 9 to 13 of Aquarius or Taurus.

Dec 25 – Christmas Day.   Venus Conjunct Pluto at 25 Capricorn again.  What a lousy aspect to have on Christmas Day.  There may be some manipulating, controlling person giving you dirty looks across the dinner table. Who is it, Aunt Mabel?  Stay alert; don’t get dragged into a family drama especially if you have personal planets or the ascendant at 25 Capricorn.  This aspect will happen once more on March 3, 2022.    

Dec 28 – Jupiter enters Pisces until May 10, 2022.  Look for the house that contains Pisces.  It’s the same house you looked at for stationary Neptune.  The areas ruled by this house will receive abundance, blessing, good luck, and all of the good things of life.  Jupiter is not called the Big, Fat, Happy Guy for nothing.  It is where we get the word jovial, so enjoy yourself.  He will enter my second house of money so I just may become too wealthy to bother writing to you anymore.  Jupiter and Neptune are both in Pisces now and will conjunct on April 22, 2022.  Because Jupiter and Neptune both rule culture, a lot of astrologers are expecting a cultural renaissance.  I’m not so sure, it may just be that Jupiter expands our self-deception or we may see an explosion of fake news.   What a curmudgeon I am, but I’m a daughter of Saturn, can’t help it.

Dec 29 - Mercury Conjunct Venus at 24 Capricorn.  Your speech and writing could become more artistic.  You could receive a letter from a friend or the opposite sex that could lead to a romance. If you have personal planets or the ascendant at 22 to 26 Capricorn or Cancer, get ready for a lot of social events.

Dec 30 – Mercury Conjunct Pluto at 25 Capricorn.  If you love someone, keep it to yourself.  The other person could come back at you with wounding sarcasm.   How humiliating.  But that is what Pluto can do.  Stay quiet if you have personal planets or the ascendant at 23 to 27 Capricorn or Cancer.

Dec 31 – New Years' Eve.  No difficult transits today.  Celebrate!

 

OUTER PLANET TRANSITS:

JUPITER is in Aquarius and will move from 25 Aquarius to 0 Pisces this month.  Jupiter is about growth and expansion and rules travel and education. Also, the areas of your life ruled by the house in your natal chart that contains Aquarius will be more joyful and good luck could come in around those areas. Jupiter in Aquarius is about coming up with new techniques and joining forward-thinking groups.  If you have personal planets or the ascendant between 23 Aquarius to 2 Pisces expect expansion and blossoming in that area of your chart.

SATURN is moving from 8 to 11 degrees of Aquarius this month. ..  Saturn rules our material world, and especially our career. If you have felt stymied in that area, now is the time to move ahead.  But you need to make plans and put in the hard work. Saturn is the old traditional ruler of Aquarius.  So he is happy here.   If you have the ascendant or any personal planets 6 to 13 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 is moving retrograde from 11 to 10 degrees of Taurus. You will feel a need for freedom and for making some radical changes in your life at this time.  I believe in ‘cooperating with the inevitable’.  If you have Uranus in a challenging aspect to your ascendant or personal planets, (8 to 13 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 Neptune turned direct on Dec 1 and will stay at 20 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 18 to 22 degrees of Pisces or Virgo. For the enlightened out there, Neptune can also bring artistic, musical, creative expression, increased dreams, and spiritual insights.

PLUTO is in Capricorn until 2023.  This month, Pluto stays at 25 degrees of Capricorn.  Profound changes will be felt especially by those with the ascendant or personal planets at 23 to 27 degrees of Capricorn or Cancer. What needs to die in order to be reborn?

Enjoy the Holidays,

November 2021 Forecast

Jupiter, Saturn, and Pluto all turned direct last month.  I think we can start moving forward.  See below under Outer Planet Transits for more info.

A chaotic, and maybe difficult time for those of you born between the 1^st and 5^th of May and those born between the 2^nd and 7^th of Nov.  Uranus will be kicking up a storm.  He is stubborn yet unpredictable, so you won’t know what he will do.  He can also bring breakthroughs.  He is the Great Awakener. Use him to your advantage, make changes for your benefit and don’t let others push you around.  As I type this I realized what a ridiculous statement I just made.  Not one pushes around a Taurus or a Scorpio. They are the pushers, not the pushees.

We have an eclipse this month on Nov 19 at 27 Taurus.  And a Solar Eclipse next month on Dec 4 at 12 Sagittarius.  I will issue an eclipse report in a few days.                                          

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 1 – Mercury Trine Jupiter at 22 degrees of Libra/Aquarius.  This could lead to some interesting and profitable work.  If you have personal planets (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus or Mars) or the ascendant at 20 to 24 degrees of Libra or Aquarius, get out your resume or apply to a university.

Nov 2 – Mercury Square Pluto at 24 degrees Libra/Capricorn.  Avoid mistakes in your finances. Some flimflam man could cheat you out of a lot of money.  Be extra careful if you have personal planets or the ascendant at 22 to 26 Libra or Capricorn.

Nov 4 – New Moon at 12 Scorpio.  This New Moon opposes Uranus at 12 Taurus. This is a time to purge, let go and radically transform, especially if you have personal planets or the ascendant at 10 to 14 Scorpio or Taurus.

          Sun Opposite Uranus 12 Scorpio/Taurus.  Uranus in Taurus is giving us a lot of trouble lately.  He is disrupting (Uranus) the food chain (Taurus).  He will be in Taurus until April 2026. On a personal level, others may oppose you; they don’t like your style or your ideas. Look out for uncompromising people if your personal planets or the ascendant is at 10 to 14 Scorpio or Taurus.

Nov 5 – Venus enters Capricorn until March 31, 2022.  Venus turns retrograde on Dec 19 and stays retrograde until Jan 29. 2022.  He will dip back into Sagittarius on December 30 until Jan 29, 2022, when he re-enters Capricorn.   In Capricorn, Venus teaches us how to materialize our desires. We start looking at property and other things with lasting value.

          Mercury enters Scorpio until December 13. Your mind becomes instinctive and penetrating.  You don’t believe anyone or anything.  You start digging into the internet to find out the truth about the Moon landing, JFK, and are they really hiding facts about the UFOs.  Have fun. But, you won’t find anything because they don’t want us to find out!

Nov 7 – Daylight Savings Time ends at 2 AM.  I hate Daylight Savings time.  It screws up my head for the entire period and I become a blabbering idiot.  I’m sure you’ve noticed.

Nov 10 – Mercury conjunct Mars at 7 Scorpio.  You could get mentally stimulated today.  Watch out for impulsive speech.  You could offend people with your outbursts.  If you have personal planets or the ascendant at 5 to 9 Scorpio or Taurus, think before you speak.

          Mercury Square Saturn at 7 Scorpio/Aquarius.  You could butt heads with someone today. You become very stubborn, but the other person is stubborner.   If you have personal planets or the ascendant at 5 to 9 Scorpio or Aquarius, maybe you should back down and let the other guy win.

          Mars Square Saturn at 7 Scorpio/Aquarius.  Someone needs help and they can soon become a burden. This could interfere with your freedom for some time.  Just have patience and wait it out especially if you have personal planets or the ascendant at 5 to 9 degrees of Scorpio or Aquarius.

The above 3 aspects consist of a double square with two malefics (I don’t like that word, but let’s honor the ancient astrologers and use it).  This could manifest as a war of words, separation through quarreling, and just a bunch of nasty events.  Stay cool.

Nov 12 – Sun Trine Neptune at 20 Scorpio/Pisces. This stimulates your idealism.  Do you really think the mask mandates will go away? Think again.  You can go ahead and believe in fairy stories if you have personal planets or the ascendant at 18 to 22 degrees of Scorpio or Pisces.

Nov 13 – Mercury Opposite Uranus at 12 Scorpio/Taurus.  Mercury is the little trickster and Uranus is the big daddy trickster.  Don’t believe anything you hear today.  Especially don’t believe what you think.  If you have personal planets or the ascendant at 10 to 14 Scorpio or Taurus, someone is really irritating you today by playing tricks on you.

Nov 15 – Sun Square Jupiter at 23 Scorpio/Aquarius. There could be setbacks today, but Jupiter will help you to be a little philosophical about it all. If you have personal planets or the ascendant at 21 to 25 of Scorpio or Aquarius, read Rumi and mellow out.

Nov 17 – Mars Opposite Uranus at 12 Scorpio/Taurus.  You are trigger happy today.  If anyone crosses you, they will get a fistful of anger. This is John Wayne walking into town facing the bad guy.  This is King Cong facing Godzilla. If you have personal planets or the ascendant at 10 to 14 Scorpio or Taurus, tone down the rhetoric. No one wants to hear that you voted for Donald Trump and that you miss him terribly.  Be careful.

Nov 18 – Mercury Trine Neptune at 20 Scorpio/Pisces.  This is a relief.  We can ask forgiveness from all the people that we ticked off yesterday. Today we all love each other and toss blessings all around. If you have personal planets or the ascendant at 18 to 22 degrees of Scorpio or Pisces, you are in a blissful state.  Try to stay there, don’t watch the news.

Nov 19 – Full Moon, Lunar Eclipse at 27 Taurus.  This Lunar Eclipse is in a square to Jupiter and in a Trine to Neptune.  Try not to overdo it today.  Don’t expect too much from a situation or a person.  Keep your feet on the ground. 

          Venus Trine Uranus at 12 Capricorn/Taurus.  Go to an art museum today.  Make a new friend. If you have personal planets or the ascendant at 10 to 14 of Capricorn or Taurus, you have an enhanced sensitivity to beauty.

Nov 20 – Mercury Square Jupiter at 24 Scorpio/Aquarius.  Don’t be tempted to buy anything unless is has actual value. If you have personal planets or the ascendant at 22 to 26 Scorpio or Aquarius stay away from the mall.

Nov 21 – Sun enters Sagittarius until Dec 21.  This is a delight after the Scorpio month.  I know Scorpio helps us get in touch with the dark side and the dead and our ancestors, but that is just too gloomy for me.  Sagittarius is a fire sign and is happy-go-lucky.  Enjoy this time.

Nov 24 – Mercury enters Sagittarius until Dec 13.  This is a period where you want to get in the car and drive.  Where?  Anywhere.  You just need to get out of the house and move.

Nov 25 – Thanksgiving.  I love thanksgiving; our only commitment is to eat. I wonder if they will cancel Thanksgiving, it may be culturally insensitive in some way.

Nov 28 – Sun Conjunct Mercury at 5 Sagittarius.  You can’t decide if you want to take a trip or stay home and read.  If you have personal planets or the ascendant at 3 to 7 Sagittarius you are going to try to do both.

Nov 29 – Mars Trine Neptune at 20 Scorpio/Pisces.  We leave the month on a good vib.  Mars rules action and Neptune is your ideals. You can act on your dreams.  Tensions subside if you have personal planets or the ascendant at 18 to 22 degrees of Scorpio or Pisces.

 

OUTER PLANET TRANSITS:

JUPITER is in Aquarius and will move from 22 to 25 degrees of Aquarius this month.  Jupiter turned direct last month on Oct 6.  This is good news for all of us because Jupiter is about growth and expansion and rules travel and education. Also, the areas of your life ruled by the house in your natal chart that contains Aquarius will be more joyful and good luck could come in around those areas. Jupiter in Aquarius is about coming up with new techniques and joining forward-thinking groups.  If you have personal planets or the ascendant between 20 and 27 degrees of Aquarius, expect expansion and blossoming in that area of your chart.

SATURN is moving from 7 to 8 degrees of Aquarius this month. Saturn turned direct last month on Oct 10.  Saturn rules our material world, and especially our career. If you have felt stymied in that area, now is the time to move ahead.  But you need to make plans and put in the hard work. Saturn is the old traditional ruler of Aquarius.  So he is happy here.   If you have the ascendant or any personal planets 5 to 7 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 is moving retrograde from 12 to 11 degrees of Taurus. You will feel a need for freedom and for making some radical changes in your life at this time.  I believe in ‘cooperating with the inevitable’.  If you have Uranus in a challenging aspect to your ascendant or personal planets, (9 to 13 degrees of Taurus or Scorpio) go on a long vacation, move 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 Neptune is retrograde and will stay at 20 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 18 to 22 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.  Pluto turned direct last month on Oct 3.  Pluto is death and rebirth.  Did you suffer a death of an idea or lifestyle during the retrograde from April 27, 2021, until last month?  If so, the direct motion could indicate a rebirth of that same issue. This month, Pluto is moving from 24 to 25 degrees of Capricorn.  Profound changes will be felt especially by those with the ascendant or personal planets at 22 to 27 degrees of Capricorn or Cancer. What needs to die in order to be reborn?

Have a good month.
