November 2024 Forecast

“If voting made any difference, they wouldn't let us do it.”― Mark Twain

I’ve noticed that many wise, experienced astrologers are not attempting to pick the winner of the U.S. election because they feel it is too close to call and because of the confusing, combative, and polarizing aspects we have now.  But, you know, ‘fools rush in,’ and that’s me! But I don’t have a good track record for picking the president.  I picked Gore over Bush in 2000 because Gore had an excellent chart for prominence, and he did win the Nobel Prize that year.  I did like Obama in 2012 and was correct at that time.

In 2016, I predicted Donald Trump's victory based on his astrological chart, which was quite strong at the time. His ascendant was aligned with Regulus, the star symbolizing kingship, which has since shifted into Virgo, representing servitude. Trump's natal chart includes Jupiter being stationary. Jupiter is saying this is my son he’s a touch bombastic, but I will protect him. But now, Jupiter is moving retrograde in the sign of his detriment, indicating a loss of power and diminishing luck. His chart also features mythological figures like Icarus and Phaeton—both of whom experienced dramatic falls, hinting at potential downfalls in his life. The Mars-Pluto opposition in his chart, located in the 12th house of karma and undoing, suggests troubling times ahead, particularly around the election period.  When Mars goes into Leo on the 3rd of November, opposing Pluto with Mars is on his Ascendant does look good to me. This looks like an attack on him.  He could still win the election but run into trouble afterward.

Pluto's transition from Capricorn to Aquarius marks a significant shift regarding the broader astrological climate. Since 2008, Pluto in Capricorn has reflected a yearning for traditional paternal figures and conventional values. With Pluto entering Aquarius on November 18th, a desire for progressive leadership will likely emerge, impacting the political landscape and perhaps diminishing Trump's resonance with the public. However, Trump’s values don’t fit the new energy. So, I don’t see him as president during Pluto in Aquarius.

Each Pluto transit through the zodiac signs brings out the darker aspects of the sign it inhabits. Notably, previous transits have coincided with significant societal issues like the high divorce rates during Pluto in Libra, the AIDS crisis during Pluto in Scorpio, and the banking crises on the day Pluto entered Capricorn. The upcoming transit in Aquarius could bring its challenges and transformations. Let’s look at the last time Pluto was in Aquarius during the French Revolution.  People thought it would be a good liberal idea to get rid of the royalty and have, "Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité,"  but they ended up with Napoleon.

Kamala Harris's astrological chart, for this time, is not as robust as Trump's during his prime. However, it still offers some advantages over his current chart, mainly the Aquarian energy coming in with people wanting new, younger rulers. We can feel the change months in advance when a giant planet enters a sign. Election Day looks better for Trump.   But Election Day is astrologically tense, with Mars opposing Pluto, potentially indicating violent or transformative events and secrets coming to light. This aspect forms a cross with Harris’ Sun and Moon.  This is a burden and a lot of stress.  It doesn’t look good for her on Election Day. A cross such as this could crush someone.  But Harris is tough with Mars ruling her moon sign of Aries; she’s a warrior and Harris is more aligned with the zeitgeist because Pluto is entering Aquarius.

I can see a possible win for Trump on Election Day, but Kamala becoming president.  I can’t see Trump in 2025 and beyond. How could that happen?  I don’t know.  Maybe Trump wins the election, but it is contested, and Kamala will be named president.  I don’t see how this would work.  The Supreme Court?  I leave you as confused as I am.

Dates to Watch:

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

Nov 1 – New Moon at 9 Scorpio.  Scorpio is an intense, passionate, powerful, secretive, and transformative sign.  This New Moon will influence the next two weeks.   You will see changes happening in your natal house, which contains Scorpio.  This new moon features Mars opposite Pluto, Mercury opposite Uranus, and Venus opposite Jupiter.  We will all experience a lot of tension.  This New Moon is trine Saturn, so there is an opportunity for positive change.

In Harris’  birth chart, Jupiter is in the 12^th now, unfavorable for winning an election. 

In Trump’s chart, this New Moon is in the 3rd of communication, square to his natal Pluto (a struggle), and trine to natal Saturn in the 7^th, popular with the public.  The Mars opposite Pluto aspect shows that influential people are behind him, but this opposition impacts his Venus.  A woman could injure him.  This New Moon shows Jupiter in his 10th house of fame.  But Uranus square Mars is showing an uphill battle.

Mercury trines Neptune at Scorpio/Pisces. There can be a longing for intensity, and you may experience profound feelings.  It is an excellent time to explore the hidden dimensions and honor the darkness. On this day, take a moment to pause and notice what sensations arise from within you.

Nov 2—Mercury enters Sagittarius. Your thinking is optimistic now; you hope for better things in the future. The US has Sagittarius on the ascendant. There will be behind-the-scenes outrage and battles no matter who wins the election.

          Mercury trine Mars at 19 Scorpio/Cancer.  You can get a tough job done now.  Any competitive challenge is stimulating.

Nov 3 –Daylight Savings time ends at 2 AM.

          Mars is opposite Pluto at 29 degrees of Cancer, and Capricorn is one of the toughest alignments in astrology. This setup often brings out behaviors driven by a desire for control and can lead to compulsive actions. We could see a significant event today. People might lose perspective, make hasty decisions, or act aggressively to push their agendas, which can cause considerable problems.

Despite these challenges, there's also a powerful opportunity to use these intense energies for good. It's a prime time for making peace in our personal lives and larger contexts. If we can harness these strong impulses positively, you can achieve great things and feel good about them.

However, it's important to remember that Mars will retrograde in December, and this opposition with Pluto will happen again twice by spring 2025. Next time, it will occur between Leo and Aquarius, not Cancer and Capricorn. This means we should stay alert and ready to handle these energies, as they will continue to influence events for a while.

          Venus opposite Jupiter at 20 degrees of Sagittarius/Gemini.  Too much h of a good thing.Overindulgence. Watch your spending.

          Mars enters Leo and then turns retrograde on Dec 6 at 6 degrees of Leo. It then backs into Cancer on January 6, 2025. Mars turns direct at 17 Cancer on February 23, 2025, and returns to Leo on April 18, 2025.

Nov 4 – Sun Trine Saturn at 12 Scorpio/Pisces.  Settle matters of a practical nature to advance your career.  Others will notice your reliable and dynamic traits.

Nov 5 – Election Day in the U.S. The Sun Is in Scorpio, and the Moon is in Capricorn, which rules the government.  Mars is in Leo and a trine to Mercury.   Everyone is outspoken today.  The US chart shows conflict, frustration, and irritation.  I don’t think the election results will be announced today because the results may be too close to call. Trump has Jupiter, the planet of luck and the north node, his destiny in the 10^th house of career today, and Venus on his moon.  Mars is in Leo, which is his rising sign.  I think he will win, but it will close. Harris has Pluto squaring her Sun and Moon.  In the 8th, Pluto shows she has powerful connections and resources behind the scenes.  Her Jupiter and Uranus is in the 12^th, she feels like a victim, not a favorable placement.  

Nov 9 – Venus Square Neptune at 27 degrees of Sagittarius/Pisces.  We are dreaming big dreams right now. Nov 11 – Venus enters Capricorn until Dec 7. This is about getting grounded in your love life.  Also, see your financial advisor and ensure your investments are secure and productive.  This shows a lot of confusion in the US as Venus is opposite the US Venus and Jupiter in the 7^th house.

Nov 11 – Venus enters Capricorn until Dec 7 – It’s time to look at everything more soberly. Mercury, squaring Saturn on the 12th, indicates a similar effect. After the great excitement of the last few days, we can now assess the situation more realistically and draw the correct conclusions.

 Nov 12 – Mercury Square Saturn at 12 Degrees of Sagittarius/Pisces.  This can create worry and depression.  You could become narrow-minded and shy.  Instead, put all of your energy into hard work.  This aspect enforces the impact of Venus in Capricorn. After the great excitement of the last few days, we can now assess the situation more realistically and draw the correct conclusions.

Nov 15 – Saturn turns direct at 14 Pisces.  Your career plans get a fresh start now. In the US chart, Saturn is turning direct in the 3^rd house.  It could mean legal battles, and Mercury is in the 1st, which could indicate lawsuits.  I hope we are not still dealing with the election results.

Full Moon at 24 Taurus conjunct Uranus.  Because of all of the aspects in the next few days, this is like a starting signal for accelerated development.  This is an excellent time for a sudden change of direction.   This is Full Moon, which is on Trump’s career MC.  Some unaccepted changes could happen to him.  Also, this Full Moon is square Trump’s Mars, another possibility of an attack from hidden enemies, whether verbal or physical.  He needs to watch his health. This Full Moon shows Jupiter in Harris’s 12th house, in a square to transiting Pluto, creating tension.  She is going through a tough time, a life-and-death struggle for power.

          Nov 16 – Sun Opposite Uranus at 25 degrees of Taurus.  This can be exciting but unstable.  Taurus likes predictability, and Uranus likes change.  In the US, the people are protesting.

Nov 18 -  Mercury opposite Jupiter at 18 Sagittarius/Gemini.  Optimistic expectations could override your good sense.  Don’t expect too much today, especially in business and legal matters.

          Sun Trine Neptune at 27 Scorpio/Pisces.  You feel kind of mellow and dreamy today.  Rely on your spiritual or mystical values and be unselfish and forgiving.  Neptune wants you to let go of the ego.  It is also a good aspect of creating art.

Nov 19 – Pluto enters Aquarius until 2043.   This is a time to embrace the new. The events in the days around the Full Moon could give us a taste of what this shift is all about.  Pluto moving into Aquarius for the next 20 years favors Harris because the collective wants to be inclusive and wants a young black woman president with progressive views. See my blog post here about Pluto in Aquarius and AI.  

Pluto moves into Harris's 9^th house of politics and international relations. In Trump's chart, Pluto moves into the 5^th.  He may be doing something new, maybe for entertainment.

Nov 21 – Sun enters Sagittarius until Dec 21. The Sagittarius energy will help us make sense of the events of the last few weeks and remember the bigger picture. Mercury turns retrograde on November 26 and will remain so until December 15.

Nov 25 – Mercury Retrograde at 22 Sagittarius until he moves direct at 6 Sagittarius Dec 15. He will remain in Sagittarius until January 8, 2025.   You may have to redo some things or change your thinking in the areas ruled by your natal Sagittarius house.

Nov 27 – Sun Trine Mars at 5 Sagittarius/Leo.  You feel dynamic, confident, and energetic.    Assume leadership today.

Nov 28 – Thanksgiving Day.  My favorite holiday.  I have the Moon in Taurus, and nothing satisfies me like heavy, rich, delicious food., especially mashed potatoes.  Who else has a Taurus Moon out there?  Cancer Moon also likes food, but the family needs to be around the table to satisfy it.  Not Taurus, but the fewer people there are, the better.

 

OUTER PLANET TRANSITS FOR AUGUST 2024:

JUPITER is moving retrograde and will go from 20 degrees of Gemini to 17 degrees of Gemini this month. Jupiter is the big, fat, happy guy who is expansive in everything. In Gemini, he wants to speak, learn, teach, and write. Look to the house in your birth chart that contains Gemini.  For the next year, Jupiter will bring good luck and opportunities in the areas ruled by the house containing Gemini.

SATURN is in Pisces until May 26, 2025.  Saturn is retrograde but turns direct on the 15th of this month. This month, Saturn strays at 12 degrees of Pisces.  If you have felt bogged down by circumstances that seem out of your control, especially in your career area, You will start to move ahead after the 15^th. Saturn rules your material world and especially your career.  You can manifest those dreams if you dream of creating something beautiful in art or writing.  You may be in store, especially if you have the ascendant or any personal planets from 10 to 14 degrees of Pisces or Virgo.

URANUS is in Taurus until April 2026.  This Uranus is retrograde and moves from 25 to 24 degrees of Taurus. This is the time to break loose and radically change your life. I believe in ‘cooperating with the inevitable.’  If you have Uranus in a challenging aspect to your ascendant or personal planets (22 to 26) degrees of Taurus or Scorpio), go on an extended vacation, preferably to somewhere you have never been.  Or make some significant changes in your life. Taurus represents the earth. Expect news about farming, food, earthquakes, volcanos, tornadoes, or other significant weather changes while Uranus is in Taurus. 

NEPTUNE is in Pisces until 2026.  Neptune is retrograde and will stay at 27 degrees of Pisces all month.  If you have the ascendant or personal planets anywhere from 25 to 29 degrees of Pisces or Virgo, you may lack focus during this time and want to daydream. Beware of a betrayal, a disappointment, and a sense of drifting. Neptune can also bring artistic, musical, and creative expression, increased dreams, and spiritual insights. Watch for inspired films to come out when Neptune is in Pisces.

PLUTO is at 29 degrees of Capricorn until the 19^th.  Then, we have a world-changing event: Pluto moves into Aquarius.  It may take us a few months to get used to this energy.  But if you have any planets or the ascendant in Aquarius, be ready for a wild ride over the next 20 years.  Pluto wants to eliminate what is not long useful, he wants to transform everting and everyone around him.  So ask Pluto, “What needs to die to be reborn.”

Have a great month, and try not to be drawn into the rhetoric and battles this month. Remain objective; it’s not the end of the world if your candidate doesn’t win. Also, let’s try not to hate the person who becomes president.

September 2024 Forecast

 

We need to love the children more than we hate each other….. RFK Jr

 

Last month, I predicted a surprise at the Democratic convention that would disrupt or alter the plans being made. I initially thought this surprise would occur during the convention itself, but instead, it happened outside of it when RFK Jr. announced he was supporting the Republican ticket. Given that his announcement was made during the period of the intense Full Moon on Aug 19 that impacted the birth charts of some of the major players at the Democratic convention, I believe his entering the race at that time will have significant implications for the democratic party.

I evaluate political candidates in two ways to determine if they are genuinely committed to the issues they put forward. First, I examine their birth chart to see if they genuinely care about these issues or if they are telling us what they need to say to get elected. Second, I consider their past achievements related to these issues.  In RFK Jr.’s case, his birth chart reveals a stellium (four planets plus the North Node, symbolizing his destiny) in Capricorn. Capricorn is the sign of duty, responsibility, principles, and standards. The stellium is in the 6th House of Health and Service. He also has an emotional drive to protect children represented by the Moon in Cancer. RFK Jr runs a nonprofit called Children’s Health Defense, which is dedicated to eliminating toxic exposures for children. His past achievements include winning millions of dollars in lawsuits against chemical companies, such as Monsanto, which produces Roundup and glyphosate.

One particularly fascinating aspect of his chart is that his Sun is at 27 degrees of Capricorn, which aligns precisely with Pluto in the U.S. natal chart. There is only one day each year when a person’s Sun can be in conjunction with the U.S. Pluto, and that day happens to be RFK Jr.'s birthday. Pluto is the planet of fate, thus he is destined to play a significant role in the destiny of the U.S.  

This alignment suggests that his Sun sheds light on the shadow side of our country. For instance, we have government regulatory agencies now staffed by the very corporations that they were created to regulate. Our country has been experiencing a Pluto return for the past five years, marking the first time transiting Pluto has conjuncted our natal Pluto since the nation’s founding. Pluto's transit through Capricorn takes 248 years, so it won’t return to this position until 2254. This period is a significant transformational time for the U.S., as Capricorn represents the government, established institutions, financial systems, and the structures that underpin the country and the world. Transiting Pluto’s influence seeks to reveal, destroy, and rebuild these processes. Anyone with their natal Sun at 27 degrees Capricorn, like RFK Jr., is uniquely positioned to play a significant role in this evolution.

Dates to Watch:

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

Sep 1 – Uranus stations and turns retrograde at 27 Taurus. This is a time to revisit and reflect on changes you have made related to your finances, possessions, and values.   This is important for those born between the 17^th and 21^st of May.

Pluto retrograde goes back into Capricorn until Nov 19, 2024, when he will return to Aquarius for 20 years.  Pluto entered Capricorn in 2008 with two brief entries into Aquarius from March 23 to June 11, 2023, and from Jan 24 to Sep 24. Pluto is the god of what is hidden: riches, wealth, and power. Pluto in Capricorns is a time when Pluto transforms our societal structures, governments, and institutions.  This has happened since 2008, when Pluto entered Capricorn precisely on the precise day of the financial crisis.

Sep 2 – New Moon at 11 Virgo. This new Moon is opposite Saturn.  Saturn structures a new, fresh beginning. You may feel motivated to start a new project, especially around self-improvement, daily routines, health, and service to others.  Saturn will help here, lending you the discipline that you will need to make these changes and to help you build healthy practices that are solid and enduring.

Sep 3 - Mars Square Neptune at 29 degrees of Gemini/Pisces. Be careful when giving information to the wrong person. It could come back to bite you. Put your energy into fighting for some worthy cause.

Sep 4 – Mars enters Cancer and lasts until Nov 3. Your actions may be based on emotions and instinct rather than logic.  You feel you need to protect yourself and your loved ones.  You may not wish to confront people or issues, which can lead to passive-aggressive behavior. There could be inner tension as Mars’ desire for action doesn’t always align with Cancer’s need for security and comfort. This can result in moodiness, frustration, or difficulty expressing anger directly. The challenge is to channel this energy constructively through creative or domestic projects or by focusing on protecting and nurturing those you care about.

Sep 7 – Mercury Square Uranus at 28 degrees of Leo/Taurus.  You may hear some news today that you don’t like. Keep calm and don’t worry about it.  People around you notice that you have a different way of thinking and communicating. Even though you have a brilliant mind, you are a bit eccentric.  Go with it.  Otherwise, life is just too boring for all of us.

Sep 8 – Sun Opposite Saturn at 16 degrees of Virgo/’Pisces. You may need to work hard today. You may look for ways out of it, but there aren’t. Just accept your obligations and duties.  The work you do now may prove of value later.

Sep 9 – Mercury enters Virgo and stays until Sep 26.  When Mercury enters Virgo, it moves into one of the signs it rules, which enhances its natural qualities of communication, analysis, and mental clarity. This transit strongly focuses on detail, precision, efficiency, and practicality in thinking and communication.  Health and wellness may be a theme during this time.  This is an excellent time to get organized.

Sep 12 – Sun Square Jupiter at 20 degrees of Virgo/Gemini. You could run into problems in your home or business. Practice some self-control in your response to these problems.   You may have some lucky breaks and popularity, but that can lead to an inflated ego and other excesses in life.

Sep 15 – Venus Trine Jupiter at 20 degrees of Libra/Gemini.  What’s not to like? Both Venus and Jupiter are benefic planets.  You may receive a gift or favor from someone today. You are at ease in showing love and affection but don’t forget to show these qualities to yourself.

Sep 17 – Full Moon – Lunar Eclipse at 25 Pisces.  This Full Moon is square Jupiter, sextile Uranus, conjunct Neptune, and sextile Pluto.   This is a complicated Lunar Eclipse,  but it is not all bad. The Lunar Eclipse blends the themes of emotional intensity, expansion, optimism, dreams, illusions, and spirituality.  There is just a hint of Saturn to keep you grounded.  Full Moons indicate endings, and Uranus will help you to let go and release something that no longer serves you.  We have a Solar Eclipse on Oct 2 at 10 degrees of Libra.  I will write about both eclipses in a separate report this month.

Sep 18 – Mercury Opposite Saturn at 15 degrees of Virgo/Pisces. This is a good time to postpone any trips unless it is a trip for business.  Be careful what you say or put into writing.  You feel a little mean and sarcastic now.

Sep 19 – Sun Trine Uranus at 27 degrees of Virgo/Taurus.  This is a good day for fun and entertainment.  You could have unexpected guests today, and you will welcome them.  It will be easy today for you to express your uniqueness in a flowing and harmonious way that does not upset others.

Sep 20 – Sun Opposite Neptune at 28 degrees of Virgo/Pisces. Avoid impractical financial decisions today. Postpone commitments of any kind, especially in romance. Go to the movies.

Sep 21 – Mercury square Jupiter at 20 degrees of Virgo/Gemini.  Be careful not to overspend and waste your energy on unreliable people.  You could suffer from indecision and procrastination.

Sep 22 – Sun enters Libra/Fall Equinox until Oct 22.  This is a time of balance, as day and night are of equal length, and the Sun's entry into Libra highlights themes of harmony, relationships, and fairness. This is a necessary time to strengthen your bonds with the key people in your life.  Because Venus rules Libra, this sign is associated with beauty, art, and aesthetics.  You could have a heightened appreciation for the arts and all things beautiful.  This is an excellent time for all creative endeavors. Libra is the most sociable sign, so get out and circulate it this month.

        Venus enters Scorpio and stays until Oct 17. The planet of love, beauty, and relationships is profoundly diving into the underworld of passion.  This can bring emotional intensity, and hidden aspects of your relationships may be revealed.  Superficial relationships will not satisfy you now because you desire meaningful, passionate, and life-changing relationships.  There could be a strong focus on attraction, desire, control, jealousy, or possessiveness.  However, Pluto also offers healing around these issues once you dive deep into them with awareness and care.

          Sun Trine Pluto at 29 degrees of Virgo/Capricorn. You may receive some good advice today. You could collaborate with someone who is powerful and has deep knowledge about subjects you are curious about.

          Venus squares Pluto at 29 degrees of Libra/Capricorn. This could put you in an embarrassing situation with loved ones, and trouble could come because you are too harsh in your judgment.

Sep 24 – Mercury Trine Uranus at 27 degrees of Virgo/Taurus. You feel vivacious and are excited about the future.  You may want to travel, write, and start a new creative project today.

Sep 25 – Mercury Opposite Neptune at 28 Virgo/Pisces.  You may find some information that was hidden.  Some of the information is a scandal that will surprise you.

Sep 26 – Mercury enters Libra and stays until Oct 14.  The planet of communication and thought enters Libra's harmonious, diplomatic, and relationship-oriented energy. This transit encourages balanced, fair-minded communication and emphasizes social interactions, partnerships, and the pursuit of harmony. Libra is connected to beauty and aesthetics and can influence how you express yourself creatively during this time. Smooth over any misunderstandings and engage with others to foster peace and understanding.

          Mercury Trine Pluto at 29 degrees of Virgo/Capricorn.  Someone you admire can help you today, especially when it comes to joining an organization.  You may decide you want just true friends who appreciate your depth of thinking.  This is an excellent day to do some research.

Sep 30 – Mars Trine Saturn at 14 degrees of Caner/Pisces. This is an excellent time to work with the younger and older generations and bring them together.  You are optimistic about money.  You could do a first-class job on any assignment that you receive.

          Sun Conjunct Mercury at 7 degrees of Virgo. This could come out as desiring a trip or focusing your mind on doing detailed work.  It’s a good day to work to fulfill your ambitions. Business matters are favorable.

 

OUTER PLANET TRANSITS FOR AUGUST 2024:

JUPITER will move from 19 to 21 degrees of Gemini.  Jupiter is the big, fat, happy guy who is expansive in everything. In Gemini, he wants to speak, learn, teach, and write. Look to the house in your birth chart that contains Gemini.  For the next year, Jupiter will bring good luck and opportunities in the areas ruled by your natal Gemini house.

SATURN is in Pisces until May 26, 2025.  Saturn is retrograde all month and will move from 16 to 14 degrees of Pisces.  Saturn rules your material world and especially your career.  If you have the ascendant or any personal planets anywhere from 12 to 18 degrees of Pisces or Virgo, you may be in store for some hard lessons about the issues in the house containing Pisces and or Virgo.  Pisces is a creative dreamer. While in Pisces, Saturn, he will try solidifying your dreams and fantasies. On the world stage, Saturn in Pisces can result in our institutions dissolving and the old systems breaking down.

URANUS is in Taurus until April 2026.  This month it turns retrograde on the 1st and will move from 27 to 25 degrees of Taurus. This is the time to break loose and radically change your life. I believe in ‘cooperating with the inevitable.’  If you have Uranus in a challenging aspect to your ascendant or personal planets (23 to 29 degrees of Taurus or Scorpio), go on an extended vacation, preferably to somewhere you have never been.  Or make some significant changes in your life. Taurus represents the earth. Expect news about farming, food, earthquakes, volcanos, tornadoes, or other significant weather changes while Uranus is in Taurus. 

NEPTUNE is in Pisces until 2026.  Neptune is retrograde all month and will move from 29 to 28 degrees of Pisces.  If you have the ascendant or personal planets anywhere from 27 degrees of Pisces or Virgo to 2 degrees of Aries, you may lack focus during this time and want to daydream. Beware of a betrayal, a disappointment, and a sense of drifting. Neptune can also bring artistic, musical, and creative expression, increased dreams, and spiritual insights. Watch for inspired films to come out when Neptune is in Pisces.

PLUTO has backed up into Capricorn on Sep 1^st  this month.  He is moving retrograde and will stay at 29 degrees of Capricorn for a month.  Pluto grinds away at your psyche, bringing up all sorts of complex psychological issues. You should run to your nearest therapist, especially if you have the ascendant or personal planets anywhere from 27 degrees of Capricorn to 2 degrees of Aquarius.  Pluto asks what needs to die to be reborn.

Watch the news like a hawk this month,

June 2024 Forecast

The first half of the month is dominated by Jupiter in Gemini trine Pluto in Aquarius.  When we see an important aspect like this, we look to when this same aspect last occurred, so we can get a hint of how it may manifest now.  The last time we had this aspect in the same signs was in 1787.  That was the year of the first draft of our constitution.  It set up the governmental system we use today, with three branches of Government: legislative, judiciary and executive.   It established the standard of having each state represented by two senators and other states having the number of representatives based on population. The constitution was not ratified until two years later.  Is something brewing now that will affect our system of government in the next two years?  I’ve been watching the news like a hawk to discern what seeds are being  planted during the two weeks leading up the trine and the two weeks after.  So far, what stands out is the trial and conviction of former President Trump.

Another great month!  During the first half of the month, planets are piling up in Gemini.  Look to your Gemini house to see the area of your life that will move so fast you won’t be able to catch your breath.  Last month, the stellium (3 or more planets in one sign) was in Taurus, a passive month.  This month the stellium is in Gemini which will feed intellectual curiosity and is more lighthearted.  This can be a busy, frenetic, mind-expanding period.

From June 9 to the 13th, you may encounter some obstacles Don’t leap over them;  just investigate and figure out what is causing the problem. What can you learn by being stopped in your tracks?

Saturn is turning retrograde on the 29^th.  This month he is barely moving.  This is a time to solidify your beliefs and get centered because during the next two years, Saturn and Neptune will move into Aries, Uranus will go into Gemini, Jupiter just moved into Gemini and Pluto just moved into Aquarius.  All of the outer planets--Pluto, Neptune, Uranus, Saturn and Jupiter-- are moving from earth and water, which is soulful, feminine energy into masculine air and fire signs which is creative, explosive energy.  We haven’t seen this kind of shift of the slow-moving planets in our lifetime

Dates to Watch:

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

June 2 – Jupiter Trine Pluto is on my birthday!  The technique of solar returns states that a good aspect on your birthday will last the entire year.  I’m not a great believer in solar returns, but I think I will change my mind and believe that this good aspect will last all year.  It will expand revolutionary ideas and will be in effect the last week of May and the first half of June.   It will help us to see the big picture.

June 3 – Mercury enters Gemini and stays until June 17.  Mercury rules Gemini and is very happy, carefree, lively, curious and dazzling here.  Mercury here can be a flimflam man.  Don’t believe everything you hear, and don’t believe what you think.  It can be tricky. The best way to deal with this urge to communicate is to write or podcast. 

June 4 – Mercury Trine Pluto at 1 degree of Gemini/Aquarius.  You may feel an urge to investigate the darker secrets of our society.  You may wish to convince the world of your own opinions and perceptions.

          Mercury conjunct Jupiter at 1 degree of Gemini. This expands the ‘need to know’ aspect.   You want to bring meaning and purpose into your life.

          Sun Conjunct Venus at 16 degrees of Gemini.  This can help you be charming and diplomatic.  You will strive for beauty and harmony.

June 6 – New Moon at 16 Gemini. This New Moon is conjunct Venus and square Saturn.  You want to shine, start new projects and circulate among friends, but Saturn stands in your way. This New Moon is in effect for two weeks.  During this time, express yourself, but edit what you say and write.

June 8 – Venus Square Saturn at 19 degrees of Gemini/Pisces.  It’s time to commit to who or what you love. This brings out your loyalty.  If you are looking for a partner, try someone older.

June 9 – Mars enters Taurus and lasts until July 20. During this period, your anger may build up slowly and then explode.  You could be a time bomb.  Try not to keep your emotions inside. Work out, go hiking or blow off steam in a useful way.

Sun Square Saturn at 19 Gemini/Pisces. Be patient, the wind is not at your back; in fact it’s blowing you sideways.

June 11 – Mars Squares Pluto at 1 degree of Taurus/Aquarius.  This is not a very good aspect.  Mars is aggressive, and Pluto takes no prisoners.  The last time we had this was when Israel was attacked in Oct 2023.  Try not to get into a conflict with anyone because it won’t be quickly resolved.  Pluto digs in his heels and hangs on for a long time.

June 12 – Mercury Squares Saturn at 19 Gemini/Pisces.  You could feel tired and discouraged today. Avoid signing contracts. You could be critical, sarcastic, or pessimistic.  So keep your mouth shut and keep your opinions to yourself.  You won’t win any popularity contests today.

June 14 – Sun Conjunct  Mercury at 23 Gemini.  Mercury is being energized by the Sun today.  Since Mercury is the merchant, contact people to buy, sell, or trade.

June 16 – Venus Square Neptune at 29 Gemini/Pisces. I’ve had more clients fall madly in love when they experience this transit to their natal chart.  It usually doesn’t turn out very well.  There ends up being deception, delusion, and, finally escape.

June 17 – Venus enters Cancer and stays until July 11.  Aphrodite, the goddess of love is settling down into a family life.  Wait! That doesn’t sound like her.  She is more promiscuous than that. What to do?  Bring out her artistic side and spruce up your home with fresh paint and colorful decorations.

          Mercury enters Cancer and stays until July 2. During this period your thinking is more imaginative.  You can express your feelings in flowery, rich images.  This placement honors the storyteller and poet.  Your memory is enhanced.  Why don’t you start on the memoirs you have planned to write for the last 20 years?

          Mercury Square Neptune at 29 degrees of Gemini/Pisces. People you meet today could be space cadets.  They want to seriously discuss what it’s like where they come from—the Pleiades.

          Mercury Conjunct Venus at 29 degrees of Gemini.  You could get company today.  Your friends are stopping in and want to talk about their love life.  I know it’s boring, but they’re your friends and you picked them.

June 20 – The Sun enters Cancer and stays until July 22.  The energy is starting to change.  We are leaving the air sign of Gemini, the chatterbox, to the more soulful quiet sign of Cancer.  Gemini wanted to flit around, travel and gossip.  Cancer wants to stay home and eat popcorn while watching her favorite streaming channel.

          Sun Squares Neptune at 29 Gemini/Pisces. You could feel dreamy, indecisive and impractical today. Don’t fall for promises that seem too good to be true.

June 21 – Full Moon at 1 Capricorn is Square Neptune.  This full moon may help you see through the illusions and deceptions coming from our conventional media.

June 26 – Mercury Trine Saturn at 19 Cancer/Pisces. You can make productive decisions now.  Try to accomplish all that needs to be done. This is a good time for quiet study and writing.  Be discreet in your relationships.  You may find some helpful information.

June 29 – Saturn turns retrograde at 19 Pisces and stays retrograde until mid-November 2025.  When a planet is moving retrograde, it becomes more intense.   So during this period, you will be forced to deal with Saturn themes of authority, and resistance.  Saturn loves structure, but he is in Pisces, which has no structure.  Your task is to manifest and bring into form your dreams, creative projects, and artistic imagination.

OUTER PLANET TRANSITS FOR THIS MONTH:

JUPITER will move from 1 to 8 degrees of Gemini.  Jupiter is the big, fat, happy guy who is expansive in everything. In Gemini, he wants to speak, learn, teach and write. Look to the house in your birth chart that contains Gemini.  For the next year, Jupiter will bring good luck and opportunities in the areas ruled by your natal Gemini house.

SATURN is in Pisces until May 26, 2025his month, Saturn moves from 18 to 19 degrees of Pisces. Saturn will turn retrograde on June 29 at 19 Pisces.  Saturn rules your material world and especially your career.  If you have the ascendant or any personal planets anywhere from 16 to 21 degrees of Pisces or Virgo, you may be in store for some hard lessons about the issues in the house containing Pisces and or Virgo.  Pisces is a creative dreamer. While in Pisces, Saturn, he will try solidifying your dreams and fantasies. On the world stage, Saturn in Pisces can result in our institutions dissolving and the old systems not working anymore.

URANUS is in Taurus until April 2026.  This month, he moves from 24 to 25 degrees. This is the time to break loose and radically change your life. I believe in ‘cooperating with the inevitable.’  If you have Uranus in a challenging aspect to your ascendant or personal planets (22 to 27 degrees of Taurus or Scorpio), go on an extended vacation, preferably to somewhere you have never been before.  Or make some significant changes in your life. Taurus represents the earth. Expect news about farming, food, earthquakes, volcanos, tornadoes, or other major weather changes while Uranus is in Taurus. 

NEPTUNE is in Pisces until 2026.  Neptune will stay at 29 degrees of Pisces this month as he is slowing down to turn retrograde on July 2.  If you have the ascendant or personal planets anywhere from 27 degrees of Pisces or Virgo to 1 degree of Aries, you may lack focus during this time and want to daydream. Beware of a betrayal, a disappointment, and a sense of drifting. Neptune can also bring artistic, musical, and creative expression, increased dreams, and spiritual insights. Watch for inspired films to come out when Neptune is in Pisces.

PLUTO is in Capricorn until Nov 2024.  This month, Pluto will move from 1 to 2 degrees of Aquarius.  Pluto grinds away at our psyche, bringing up all sorts of complex psychological issues. You should run to your nearest therapist, especially if you have the ascendant or personal planets anywhere from 29 degrees of Capricorn to 4 degrees of Aquarius.  Pluto asks what needs to die to be reborn.

Enjoy this month.

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.

My Thoughts on King Charles III Birth Chart

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

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

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

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

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

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

Sun in Scorpio

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

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

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

Ascendant or Rising Sign is Leo

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

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

Moon in Taurus

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

 

Challenging Natal Aspects in the Birth Chart of King Charles III

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

 

Neptune Conjunct Venus –

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

Pluto Square Sun

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

Eclipses 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

What’s Transiting Pluto Got to Do with It?

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

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

Stay tuned,

January 2021 Forecast

This is the worst month of the year, sorry! But after the end of January, we won’t see anything like the horrific aspects we have had in 2020 and this month.  Last year we were dealing with Mars (aggression and anger) squaring Jupiter, Saturn, and Pluto.  Mars went retrograde in Aries so he passed over these planets three times.  Now in January, he moves into milder Taurus, BUT Jupiter and Saturn have moved into Aquarius, so we have the same squares again, which will start to break up late in the month. A square is an aspect that creates tension, obstacles, and challenges in our life.  

Mars will enter Taurus on January 6.  Now Mars in Taurus is a much cooler character than Aries, the hothead.  But Mars in Taurus is represented by the bull quietly chewing his cud peacefully until someone ticks him off.  Be careful you are neither the ticker nor the tickee this month.

The bull can really start pawing the ground and snorting around mid-month – Jan 19, 20, and 21. At that time we have the Moon triggering all of these Mars aspects. On these three days, we have the Moon and Mars in Taurus right on top of Uranus (ruler of Aquarius) and then the Sun enters Aquarius the sign of revolution to conjunct Jupiter and Saturn. I’m sure it has not escaped you that this is the time of the US inauguration.

During these three days, we may see massive protests, civil disobedience, and surprise attacks.  Contrary to popular opinion, astrology cannot predict specific events but can predict what types of energies are in the air at specific times.  So these rebellions could be against the incoming administration or against the imposed health restrictions, mandatory vaccine programs, and health passports. But, because this is a global transit, it may not show events only in our country. We may see an earth event in another part of the world.  Uranus in Taurus portends violent earth conditions such as volcanoes, earthquakes, and tornadoes, etc.

One more thing to mention – Mercury turns retrograde on the 30^th of the month.  This aspect could come as a relief.  The difficult aspects of the year are over, now we can rest and recover.  Use the Mercury retrograde period to look over the past year and what we have learned.

 

Dates to Watch:

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

Jan 1 – New Year’s Day – May the New Year bring you peace, joy, and happiness.

Jan 4 – Mercury Conjunct Pluto at 24 Capricorn.  Keep your ideas and your intentions to yourself; otherwise, you could be humiliated or disappointed.  Really clam up if you have the ascendant or any personal planets (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, or Mars) at 22 to 26 degrees of Capricorn or Cancer.

Jan 6 – Mars enters Taurus until March 3.  This aspect will calm down the anger and aggression we have been feeling throughout 2020 while Mars was in Aries.  We can focus and get some solid work accomplished now. But at the beginning of this transit, Mars will conjunct Uranus and square Jupiter and Saturn.  So don’t calm down yet.  You may be forced to look at how you deal with food and money,

Jan 8 – Mercury enters Aquarius until March 15.  He turns retrograde on the 30^th at 26 Aquarius, backs up to 11 Aquarius when he turns direct on Feb 20.

          Venus enters Capricorn until Feb 1.   We won’t want to start a relationship now unless we first find out how much is in their bank account.

          Mercury Square Mars at 0 Aquarius/Taurus.   Everyone wants to say what’s on their mind. Maybe that’s not a good idea if you have personal planets or the ascendant at 28 degrees of Capricorn or Aries to 2 degrees of Aquarius or Taurus.

Jan 9 – Venus Trine Mars at 0 Capricorn/Taurus.  Take some action to secure your future.  Start saving and put some money in the bank. That kind of action will flow today.

          Mercury Conjunct Saturn at 2 degrees Aquarius. Not a good day to let your imagination run wild.  Instead, pay attention to details.  This can be a little depressing if you have personal planets or the ascendant at 0 to 4 degrees of Aquarius or Leo.

Jan 11 – Mercury Conjunct Jupiter at 5 Aquarius.  You could receive some very good news today.  Your mood becomes more optimistic. A great day to study and promote your work.  This is an especially good day if you have personal planets or the ascendant at 3 to 7 Aquarius or Leo.

Jan 12 – Mercury Square Uranus at 6 Aquarius Taurus.  I kind of like Uranus.  He is my chart ruler (your chart ruler is the ruler of the sign of the ascendant in your chart).  Of course, others may not like how you express your Uranus, but Aquarius rising types are used to being unpopular. You could get really sarcastic today.  Take it easy don’t worry so much.  Try to stay calm if you have personal planets or the ascendant at 4 to 8 Aquarius or Taurus.

Jan 13 – New Moon at 23 Capricorn. This New Moon is conjunct Pluto. This coming month can help you let go of things that need to pass from your life and to make plans for the future.  There could be some power struggles with others while you are trying to accomplish this. This New Moon connects to the U.S. Mercury and Pluto.  Look for the media trying to cover some dark secrets they don’t want to get out. There could be some behind-the-scenes manipulation going on.

          Mars square Saturn at 3 Taurus/Aquarius.  This is not fun.  We have plans and things we want to accomplish and Saturn is saying ‘not on your life’ Stop! Reconsider.  You will be especially frustrated for a few days especially if you have personal planets or the ascendant at 1 to 5 Taurus or Aquarius.

          Venus trine Uranus at 6 Capricorn/Taurus.  A good day to plan your garden and order the seeds.  Or you can visit an art gallery (online, of course).  You are searching for beauty today. 

Jan 14 – Uranus turns direct at 6 Taurus.  Uranus started slowing down at the beginning of this month and won’t really pick up steam until mid-February.  During this time, we could have some surprising information or events.  Uranus likes to shock and to bring in unusual people or situations.  Taurus definitely does not like this kind of thing. But Taurus types have had to adjust with Uranus in their sign since March of 2019. Try to adjust to this topsy-turvy period if you have personal planets or the ascendant at 4 to 8 Taurus or Scorpio.

          Sun Conjunct Pluto at 24 Capricorn. There can be important transformations in your life today.  You could gain a leadership position, or be undermined by the people who wanted that position.  Watch out for people with an iron fist in a velvet glove if you have personal planets or the ascendant at 22 to 26 Capricorn or Cancer.

Jan 17 – Jupiter Square Uranus at 6 degrees of Aquarius/Taurus. I call these two – ‘get outta town’ planets. You are going to want to leave, take off in the car, and go somewhere you have never been before.  Also, you want to study outrageous subjects that are not acceptable by academia. (You could really go off the deep end if you have personal planets or the ascendant at 4 to 8 degrees of Aquarius or Taurus.

Jan 19 – Sun enters Aquarius until the 18^th of February.  I love this time of the year.  The Sun is coming back, it is brighter out.  We are looking for freedom and want to break from tradition.  This is also a good time to make some interesting friendships.

Jan 20 – Mars conjunct Uranus at 6 Taurus.  You may be fed up with what is going on around you.  Try to use this energy in a positive manner, go for a long walk, work out in the gym, or do some yoga.  Otherwise, you could cause disruption in your work and in your relationships.  Be especially careful if you have personal planets or the ascendant at 4 to 8 Taurus or Scorpio.

The three days of Jan 19, 20, and 21 can be explosive.  The moon in scorpion is a trigger.  It is a global transit so it could affect the U.S. inauguration or we could have a major earth event such as a volcano or disruptive weather patterns.  They are all ruled by Mars conjunct Uranus in Taurus.

Jan 23 – Mars Square Jupiter at 7 Taurus/Aquarius.  Another hyper day.  If you can, go on a trip.  Jupiter expands everything it touches Here he is expanding your energy and also your anger.  The advice I gave yesterday, applies here.  I’m sorry Taureans out there, but it just happens to be your time.  Stay calm if you have personal planets or the ascendant at 5 to 9 Taurus or Aquarius.

          Sun conjunct Saturn at 4 Degrees of Aquarius.   We may see more restrictions and controls from the government.  Using the ole outworn and excuse that they are just trying to keep us safe.  We may not believe them this time and start to raise a kerfuffle.  (look it up).  You may feel stymied by circumstances if you have personal planets or the ascendant at 2 to 6 degrees of Aquarius.

Jan 26 – Sun Square Uranus at 7 Aquarius/Taurus.  You have a tendency to make mistakes today because you are too stirred up about the events happening around you. Take it easy if you have personal planets or the ascendant at 5 to 9 Aquarius or Taurus.

Jan 28 – Full Moon at 9 degrees Leo and Aquarius. This Full Moon is opposite Jupiter and conjunct Mars. This is a powerful full Moon. There could be clashes and conflicts and Jupiter blows it all of proportion.   All of these conflicting planets may make it difficult to finish what you have planned.

          Venus Conjunct Pluto at 24 Capricorn.  If you are too innocent, say you are a Gemini, Libra, or Sagittarian type--you could be dragged into the underworld by Plutonian energies coming from your psyche or from a really dark, nasty person.   Be careful while you are out smelling the flowers if you have personal planets or the ascendant at 22 to 26 Capricorn or Cancer.  What?  There are no flowers right now. Well, be careful anyway.

          Sun Conjunct Jupiter at 9 Aquarius. This could give you a temporary lift in mood.  Jupiter is the jovial guy, a good time to enjoy your life.

Jan 30 – Mercury turns retrograde until Feb 20.  Look at the house that Aquarius is located.  You could change your mind and be totally spacy during the retrograde. You know the drill about Mercury retrograde; don’t buy any mechanical or electronic gadgets.  (bad news for Virgos who love this kind of stuff).  Go back and edit and review your work.  Read documents carefully before you sign.

  See Meaning of the houses here.

 

OUTER PLANET TRANSITS:

JUPITER is now ensconced in Aquarius until May 2021 when he enters Pisces, turns retrograde in June of 2020, and heads back into Aquarius at the end of July until Dec 30, 2021.   This month Jupiter moves from 2 to 9 degrees of Aquarius.  Jupiter is about growth and expansion especially in travel and education and also in the area of your life ruled by the houses in your natal chart that contains Aquarius.  Jupiter is much happier in Aquarius than he was in Capricorn.  Capricorn wanted Jupiter to work, ugh.  Aquarius is about coming up with new technological inventions and rebelling against the status quo. During a protest or revolution, Jupiter gets to make a lot of noise and give speeches full of hyperbole.

SATURN is fully ensconced in Saturn where he will stay until Mach of 2023. This month he moves from 1 to 5 degrees of Aquarius Saturn is the old traditional ruler of Aquarius.  So he is happy here, but not as strong as he was I Capricorn. He will spend a lot of time in Aquarius trying to dampen Jupiter’s enthusiasm  If you have the ascendant or any personal planets 1 to 5 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 but turns direct on the 14^th. This month he stays at 6 degrees of Taurus.   Expect some shake-ups during the week of the 14^th.  If you have personal planets or the ascendant at 4 to 8  degrees of Taurus or Scorpio, you will feel a need for freedom and for making 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, 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 moving from 18 degrees to 19 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 16 to 21 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 from 24 to 25 degrees of Capricorn all month. 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?

Wishing you and yours health and prosperity in the New Year.

December 2020 Forecast

 

Rumi – Why stay in prison when the doors are wide open.

This month is packed full of aspects.  One is the Eclipse on the 14^th which will conjunct President Trump’s natal lunar eclipse.   This is the same date as the Electoral College.  This eclipse could just eclipse him out.  See my eclipse report here. 

                                      +++++

Let’s look at what we are finished with, what aspects are ending.  First is the Jupiter/Pluto conjunction in Capricorn, (expansion of Corporate and government control). We had that all year.  We are also finished with Mercury, Mars, and Neptune moving retrograde. We have been stuck and unable to move ahead most of the year.  We have clear sailing now to go into 2021.

                                      +++++

The biggie this month is the Jupiter Saturn conjunction at 0 degrees Aquarius on the 21^st.  Jupiter and Saturn rule our culture, values, economy, politics, and society. Jupiter represents an expansive and imaginative vision, Saturn is structure and discipline. Jupiter and Saturn conjunctions occur every 20+ years.  But this is a special conjunction called the Great Mutation because it will start a series of consecutive 20-year conjunctions in air signs that will continue until December 20, 2159. While this is happening, Pluto is still in Capricorn until 2023 deconstructing the old paradigms.

The last 200 years have seen this conjunction occur in earth signs. Earth signs value success in a worldly sense believing that hard work following the rules and obeying laws and saving money is the way to approach life.  One’s status during this period was defined by the amount of material wealth one attained, or the influence and power one could accrue in the political or governmental sectors.  In Aquarius, success will be based on creativity and intelligence.  Knowledge communication and ideals will shape the next two centuries. 

Communication will be conducted over the airwaves.  New social media platforms will be more popular in Aquarius and there will be new ways of connecting as well.  We are now seeing the rise of Parler, an alternative to Twitter, and Pure Social Network, an alternative to Facebook.  My favorite new media is Periscope, especially the show called Agenda free TV. The host, Steve Lookner, takes one issue and shows videos of the corporate-owned mainstream media and also alternative media, at the same time he is reading Twitter feeds on the subject. He is also reading comments from viewers and they are commenting back and forth to each other.  I like this way of learning about a topic and being able to form my own opinion. I think this is the wave of the future.  People may not want to passively watch the mainstream media and have the so-called experts tell them what to think.

Capitalism is the old earth model, and may not survive this era. Something new will come in.  Aquarius could bring in the worst kind of Socialism.  

                                      +++++

We may see some startling advances in science.  Some of the newest work that neuroscientists and mathematicians are doing now imply that our space/time world, our reality, is an illusion and that there are infinite worlds that go beyond space/time.  This idea would agree with some of the great spiritual transitions of the world such as Advaita Vedanta (an ancient religion of India) and Buddhism.  Quantum theory implies this, but they’re going much further now and proving it mathematically.  In this research, we may discover and prove multiple universes. 

                                                +++++

 

Look to the house of your chart that contains Aquarius: Ending and renewal in the areas of life ruled by that house. Has something outlived its time?

It’s up to us to imagine the world we want to come in.

 

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 – Mercury enters Sagittarius until December 20.  Look for hyperbole and exaggeration and tall tales during this period. Don’t promise more than you can deliver.  Don’t brag. Try to be humble.  Mercury in Sagittarius is hubris.  I’m a Mercury in Gemini person so I love Mercury in Sagittarius, I can swap outrageous stories with the best of them.

December 5 – Venus Trine Neptune at 16 degrees of Scorpio and Pisces.  This is a very creative aspect.  Especially in poetry, art, and dance.  Watch Fred Astaire dance on youtube. 

December 9 – Sun Square Neptune at 18 Sagittarius/Pisces.  This aspect can be very confusing.  You are not thinking clearly.  You feel sleepy and thinking is just too hard.

December 11 – Sun Trine Mars at 19 degrees of Sagittarius and Aries. This is like taking an extra cup of coffee.  You feel energized.  Take advantage of this aspect and try to get something accomplished.

December 13 – Mercury Square Neptune at 18 Sagittarius and Pisces.  Neptune loves to sleep and Mercury is your mind.  Can you just stay in bed today and daydream? If you do go to work, you may be stumbling over your words and become completely incoherent.  You may get lost driving.

December 14 – Solar Eclipse at 23 Sagittarius.  Look at the life topics associated with the houses containing Sagittarius.  The new story emerging with one pair of eclipses will go thru major developments when the new pair of eclipses come in 6 months later.  See the meaning of the houses here.

Mercury trine Mars at 20 degrees of Sagittarius/Aries.  Start a new project.  This is right after a New Moon, Solar Eclipse, and the energy and brilliance help you to accomplish something great.

December 15 – Venus enters Sagittarius until January 9, 2021. Are you dating someone with Venus in Sagittarius? After 7 years you are probably still waiting for some kind, any kind of commitment.

December 17 – Saturn enters Aquarius until March 8, 2023. We can make the changes promised by Jupiter in Aquarius starting on Dec 19, but we have to have accountability for the changes. Saturn is the taskmaster, so you can make changes but only through hard work.  We may want to enforce some brakes to the revolutionary energy around us.

December 19 – Sun conjunct Mercury at 25 Sagittarius.  You get some clear ideas about what you want to pursue in the future.  Is it ambitious goals or a trip?  That depends on the other transits to your natal chart.

          Jupiter enters Aquarius until Dec 30, 2021. We think about the future, we become more progressive, politically.  We search for more enlightenment, greater discoveries, especially in science and technology.  A strong urge to move forward. To have more individualism, freedom equality, and human rights.  We become impatient with the old traditional ways of doing things.  Protests and rebellions can occur against lockdowns and the wearing of masks.

December 20 – Mercury enters Capricorn until Jan 9, 2021.  It's time to get serious and think of what you own, your responsibilities, and how to proceed into 2021 in a practical, down to earth manner.

December 21 – Sun enters Capricorn until January 2021.  A major turning point of the year. The Goddess is giving birth to the Sun. Celebrated around the world, especially in indigenous cultures where they use this time to manifest the world they want to see for the next year out of the ethers.

          Jupiter conjunct Saturn at 0 degrees of Aquarius. This is a major conjunct because it is happening at 0 degrees a very powerful degree and also on the winter solstice, a turning point in the year.  See my comments above for more information.

December 23 – Mars Squares Pluto at 23 Aries/Pluto. Don’t force actions on anyone. Don’t begin anything of importance.  Focus on your own work.

December 25 – Mercury Trine Uranus at 6 Capricorn/Taurus.  A good holiday aspect.   This is a creative, happy aspect.  Uranus likes to find new friendships and radical ideas.

December 27 – Sun Trine Uranus at 6 degrees of Capricorn/Taurus.  Entertainment and fun. You may be invited to a party.  Unexpected visitors may show up.

December 30 – Venus Square Neptune at 19 degrees of Sagittarius and Pisces.  Don’t let others take advantage of you.  If you try to bend over backward for someone, you might lose your balance and fall.

 

OUTER PLANET TRANSITS:

JUPITER is now in Capricorn until December 20, 2020.  This month Jupiter moves from 26 degrees of Capricorn to 2 degrees of Aquarius.  Jupiter is about growth and expansion especially in travel and education and also in the area of your life ruled by the houses in your natal chart that contains Capricorn and Aquarius.  Jupiter isn’t very happy in Capricorn because he has to get down to business; become responsible, and build a career. He is happy in Aquarius because Aquarius is about rebelling against the status quo and Jupiter likes to make a lot of noise and be excessive

SATURN will move from 23 Capricorn to 1  degree of Aquarius this month. If you have the ascendant or any personal planets at 21 to 25  degrees of Capricorn or from 0 to 1 degree of Aquarius,  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 Capricorn he is asking about your ambitions, your career, and your work ethic. In Capricorn, he is right at home and wants to build something  When he goes into Capricorn, he may cause restrictions in your community work and communications. 

 URANUS is in Taurus until Apr 2026. This month he is retrograde and travels from 7 to 6 degrees if Taurus.   If you have personal planets or the ascendant at 5 to 9 degrees of Taurus or Scorpio, you will feel a need for freedom and for making 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, go on a long vacation, move or make some major changes in your life.

October 2020 Forecast

We are still climbing the mountain this month and the hardest trek is at the top. But we will get there, but not until next month. The good news this month is that the nasty trio of Jupiter, Saturn, and Pluto is starting to break up this month. Remember Saturn rules limits and restrictions and Pluto rules destruction and regeneration and Jupiter is escalating the energies of these planets.  Jupiter turned direct last month and is slowly pulling away from the other two.  Saturn also turned direct last month and is moving away from Pluto.  Pluto turns direct this month, but moves very slowly and will not catch up to Saturn and Jupiter again for years.  We are not out of the woods yet, but things will start improving.  We will definitely see the progress we have made on the New Moon of the 15^th of November.

Mercury retrogrades this month. I don’t mind Mercury retrograde, my monkey mind shows down and I become more creative.  So the Mercury retro periods do not have to be difficult but watch out for the days that Mercury stops in the sky to change direction.  That is on Oct 13 when he stops at 11 degrees of Scorpio to turn retrograde and then on Nov 3 when he stops to turn direct at 26 Libra. Nov 3 is Election Day in the US.  Watch for mislaid ballots, miscounted ballots, and ballots lost in the mail.  I think there will be a recount since Mercury rules all words starting with re-.  The election may be delayed or the results won’t be decided for some time. It may be December before we know who our president is.

Mars is not finished with the trio of thugs. He is moving retrograde and is repeating his triggers to Jupiter and Pluto starting with Oct 9 with the square to Pluto, then Oct 19 when he squares Jupiter.  He squared Saturn Last month on the 29^th.  These squares are repeats of the same aspects when he was moving direct in August of this year.  You may experience similar problems this month to the ones you had in August.  And when Mars turns direct in Nov, he will square the entire trio again in December.

The Sun is now in Libra and is triggering the Capricorn gangster trio starting with Sun Square Jupiter on the 11^th and Square Pluto on the 15^th and square Saturn on the 18^th.  I hate to see Librans brought into the fight, they are sweet peace-loving people.   Aries’ and Capricorn’s kinda enjoyed the battle we have been in.  Aries’ ruler is Mars the fist fighter and Capricorn’s ruler is Saturn the stubborn old man.  They can take it, but poor Libra can easily be overwhelmed by Capricorn.  You will feel these difficult aspects if your birthday falls on Oct 11 through Oct 18.

Venus has entered the act this month to sweeten the pot. She is in Virgo this month and will be in a flowing trine to the motley crew. Don’t forget, Aphrodite brought harmony to the warring gods.

 

Dates to Watch:

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

Oct 1 – Full Moon at 1 degree Aries/Libra.  Emotions come to a head.  Aries is the sign of the warrior.  You could feel a lot of anger.  Mars, the ruler of Aries is now retrograde.  Some astrologers believe a planet is more intense when it is retrograde because it is closer to the earth.  Mars is the closest to the earth on Oct 6 and won’t be that close for another 15 years.  The earth is hotter now and we are angrier.  I think this moon foretells more social protests this month.

Oct 2 – Venus enters Virgo until the 27^th of this month.  During this time, we may repress the feelings of the heart for more practical reasons.  We are fussier about who we get involved with.

Oct 4 – Pluto turns Direct at 22 Capricorn.  Pluto is all about power.  Capricorn is the government and corporations.  We may see a lot of additional rules and regulations put in place.  That will give Mars something to rebel against.  This aspect could dig up all of your neurotic shadow issues if you have personal planets (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus or Mars) or the ascendant at 20 to 24 Capricorn or Cancer.

Oct 7 – Mercury Opposite Uranus at 9 degrees of Scorpio/Taurus.  Try not to become irritated.  Don’t negotiate with anyone today.  You are feeling willful and stubborn. And the other party doesn’t want to give an inch either.  You could be at loggerheads with yourself or others if you have personal planets or the ascendant at 7 to 11 degrees of Scorpio or Taurus.

Oct 9 – Mars Square Pluto at 22 Aries/Capricorn.  This aspect represents rebellion against the government and the rule-makers. In your personal life, try not to force any action.  The forces against you are very powerful.  Let things come of their own accord.  This will be difficult to do for those of you with personal planets or the ascendant at 20 to 24 Aries or Capricorn.

Oct 10 – Venus Trine Uranus at 9 Virgo/Taurus.  Facetime your best friends.  Enjoy the beauty in nature.  Enjoy yourself if you have 7 to 11 degrees of Virgo or Taurus.

Oct 11 – Sun Square Jupiter at 18 Libra/Capricorn. Personal problems can intrude on the serenity of your home or place of business.  Be Buddalike about setbacks today if you have personal planets or the ascendant at 16 to 20 Libra/Capricorn.

Oct 13 – Mercury turns retrograde at 11 Scorpio and stays retrograde until Nov 3^rd when he will turn direct at 26 Libra.

          Sun opposite Mars at 21 Libra/Aries.  This aspect forms a T-square to Jupiter, Saturn, and Pluto in Capricorn.  Today could see obstructions, fanaticism, and unscrupulous procedures.  Not a very good day especially if you have personal planets or the ascendant at 19 to 23 of Libra or Aries.

Oct 15 – Sun Square Pluto at 22 Libra/Capricorn.  Someone is demanding and controlling.  Is that you?  It could be if you have personal planets or the ascendant at 21 to 24 Libra or Capricorn.

Oct 16 – New Moon at 23 degrees of Libra. This is the most difficult moon in decades. This is an intense New Moon as it opposes Mars in Aries and squares Jupiter, Saturn, and Pluto in Capricorn.  The good news is that this is the last intense period of 2020.  The bad news is the New Moon announces the energy for the coming month.  But next month the pressure comes off.  Then in December, Jupiter and Saturn will leave the gang of bullies and move into Aquarius.  That is the beginning of a new era.

Oct 18 – Sun Square Saturn at 25 degrees of Libra/Capricorn. Don’t take any risks today.  Your world is full of obstacles and limits right now.  Difficult day if you have personal planets or the ascendant at 23  to 27 Libra or Capricorn.

          Venus Opposite Neptune at 18 Virgo/Pisces.  Friends and lovers are wonderful things, but not so when they come to you with a sob story and empty your wallet.  Your boundaries are down today and that makes you a mark for a big scam.  Be careful if you have personal planets o the ascendant at 16 to 18 Virgo or Pisces.

Oct 19 – Mars Square Jupiter at 19 Aries/Capricorn.  You are dying to get out of town.  You want to go anywhere just to get away. But COVID means you need to stay home.  Why don’t you walk around the block a few times?  This is a frustrating day for those of you with personal planets or the ascendant at 17 to 21 Aries Capricorn.

          Venus Trine Jupiter at 19 Virgo/Capricorn.  We haven’t had many trines this month so we can really appreciate this one in earth signs.  You could receive a service that is payback for a favor that you gave to a friend in the recent past.

          Mercury Opposite Uranus at 9 Scorpio/Taurus.  Mercury rules the news and Uranus is honesty.  There could be some surprising disclosures today.  Careful of your speech today, you could blurt out something that you will regret.  Keep your lips sealed especially if you have personal planets or the ascendant at 7 to 11 Taurus or Scorpio.

Oct 21 – Venus Trine Pluto at 22 Virgo/Capricorn. Another beautiful trine in earth signs. This aspect can bring romantic happiness or an enjoyable gathering with friends. 

Oct 22 – Sun enters Scorpio until Nov 21. I know, you are sick and tired of the lies spread by our politicians and the media.  You want to know what is behind the phony façade they are all showing us.  Well, this is the time for digging deep and doing the research to find out what is really going on.  Good luck.

Oct 24 – Venus Trine Saturn at Virgo/Capricorn at 22 Virgo/Capricorn. You should really take advantage of the few trines we have this month.  On this one, you could communicate with a friend that you have lost touch with.  Also, you would reap the rewards of a project that you have been working on.

Oct 25 – Sun Conjunct  Mercury at 3 degrees of Scorpio.  You think you are really smart today and guess what?  You really are!  The Sun is shining a light on your mind.  This is a good day to pay attention to the details in your work and create the right environment for your tasks.  Get busy if you have personal planets or the ascendant at 1 to 5 degrees of Scorpio.

Oct 27 – Mercury enters Libra until Nov 10. During this period, your thoughts turn to beauty.  You may do some shopping, visit an art gallery or dig up those old paints that are becoming all dried up because you haven’t used them

    Venus enters Libra until Nov 21.  Venus is very at home here.  She loves to decorate, create art, and find pleasure and harmony in relationships.

Oct 31 – Full Moon at 8 Taurus/Scorpio.  This is a culmination of what you started back on Oct 16 at the New Moon.  You are looking for stability in your life, but this Full Moon signifies deep-rooted psychological changes.

          Sun Opposite Uranus at 8 Scorpio/Taurus.  There could be a real cranky person in your environment. Try to be tactful even if they make suggestions about your life that are very intrusive.  Stay calm if you have personal planets or the ascendant at 6 to 10 degrees of Scorpio or Taurus.

 

OUTER PLANET TRANSITS:

JUPITER is now in Capricorn until December 20, 2020.  This month Jupiter moves from 17 to 20 degrees of Capricorn.  Jupiter is about growth and expansion especially in travel and education and also in the area of your life ruled by the house in your natal chart that contains Capricorn.  Jupiter isn’t very happy in Capricorn because he has to get down to business; become responsible, and build a career. Don’t forget about his excessive qualities. In Capricorn, he could work too hard, and be too focused on the material and forget to smell the roses

SATURN is now  moving direct and he will move from 23 to 26 degrees of Capricorn this month. If you have the ascendant or any personal planets at 21 to 28 degrees of Capricorn or Cancer, 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 Capricorn he is asking about your ambitions, your career, and your work ethic. In Capricorn, he is right at home and wants to build something. He stimulates you to make plans to be successful in the outer world. 

 URANUS is in Taurus until Apr 2026. This month he is retrograde and travels from 9 to 8 degrees if Taurus.   If you have personal planets or the ascendant at 6 to 11 degrees of Taurus or Scorpio, you will feel a need for freedom and for making 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, go on a long vacation, move or make some major changes in your life. Taurus is the earth.  Expect earth events such as earthquakes and hurricanes during the period that Uranus is in Taurus.

NEPTUNE (creativity, sensitivity, escapism, dreams) is in Pisces until 2026. This month Neptune is retrograde and moves from 19 to 18 this 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 17 to 20 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 until Oct 4 when he turns direct.  H and will stay at 22 degrees of Capricorn all month. Profound changes will be felt especially by those with the ascendant or personal planets at 20 to 24 degrees of Capricorn or Cancer. What needs to die in order to be reborn?

September 2020 Forecast

Those pesky planets traveling through Capricorn just won’t leave you alone.  Two of them; Jupiter and Saturn will stop in the sky this month to make sure you get whatever lessons they are trying to teach you. They are more intense when they stop like that.  Pluto doesn’t need to stop to be intense; he’s a monster in his own right.  So these are the degrees to look for in your birth chart; 20 to 24 degrees of Capricorn or Cancer, 23 to 27 degrees of Capricorn or Cancer, and 25 to 18 degrees of Capricorn or Cancer.  Also, look at the house that contains Capricorn.  This is the area where you will feel expansion, restriction, and regeneration all at the same time.

The big news this month is still Mars, the Planet of the angry warrior, in Aries, the sign of the angry warrior. He is in his own sign which makes him more powerful and unfortunately more angry than usual.  We will have Mars in Aries all year because he will go retrograde this month and then direct in November and finally leave Aries in January 2021.  This month Mars turns retrograde so that he can back up and kick Saturn, Jupiter, and Pluto again as he did last month.  Look at the house in your natal chart that contains Aries as this house will see more activity than usual. Try not to be drawn into conflicts, instead, use this energy to be more productive in your Aries house.  See the meaning of the houses here.

Aries represents individual power and Capricorn rules government, institutions, and corporations.  We can see this as Individuals protesting in the streets but running up against repressive forces of the government.  The time period from now through January could include violence during these protests. I see civil unrest around these issues throughout the rest of the year right through the election in the US.  I know some astrologers that are backing off from trying to make a prediction about the presidential election because the planetary configurations are too confusing.  This also holds true for the inauguration date.   

Between the 9^th and 12^th, we will have 7 planets moving retrograde.  They are reiterating old problems and clearing the ground before they go direct.  Are you repeating past issues in your life?

 

 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 1 – Mercury Trine Pluto at 21 Virgo/Capricorn.  Start off the month by doing some soul searching. What do you want to accomplish this month?  Someone in a powerful position could be of help.

Sep 2 – Full Moon at 9 Virgo/Pisces.  This Full Moon is sextile Uranus at 10 Taurus.  Full Moons bring things to fruition. This is the culmination or closure of an issue in your Pisces and Virgo house.  Full Moons shine a light into dark corners.  There may be more disclosures.  Pisces is an emotional sign so feelings come to the fore.

Covid 19 hit 6 months ago when the Sun was in Pisces and the Full Moon was in Virgo.  Now that we have a Full Moon in the same signs, we may find out something important about the pandemic.  Watch the news during the period of 3 days before and 3 days after this Full Moon.

          Venus Opposite Saturn at 25 Cancer/Capricorn.  This shows a conflict between your need for security and safety vs control and dominance.  This will come out in our personal relationships.  Which part are you playing?   You may feel restricted and not able to reach out to others.  But this is a good day for contemplation as it isn’t a sociable aspect.  Be realistic about your relationships and finances especially if you have personal planets (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus or Mars) or the ascendant at 23 to 27 Cancer or Capricorn.

          Sun Trine Uranus at 10 Virgo/Taurus.  You are original and creative.  This is a positive aspect that helps you experiment with new ideas.  This is a good time to manifest your wishes.

Sep 3 – Mercury Trine Saturn at 25 Virgo/Capricorn.  You can get a lot done today.  Sort and organize your office.

Sep 4 – Venus Square Mars at 27 Cancer/Aries. Try to find compromise today if you feel that your relationships are too one-sided. There may be fisticuffs with your loved one if you have personal planets or the ascendant at 25 to 28 Cancer or Aries.

Sep 5 – Mercury enters Libra until Sep 27.  Libra does not like conflict so Mercury will try to talk his way around problems.  This time period is great for communications with loved ones.  You become friendlier than usual.

Sep 6 – Venus enters Leo until Oct 2.  You want your values and emotions out there to be on display so that everyone notices you.  But others may not think you are so cute.  But, it’s a playful time, have fun.

Sep 9 – Mars turns retrograde until Nov 13.  Some say Mars loses some power when he goes retrograde.  My experience is that he just gets sneaky and whacks you when and where you least expect it.  While he is retrograde, he will travel from 28 Aries to 15 Aries.  If you have planets from 13 to 0 Taurus, you may have some simmering anger you need to release.

          Sun Trine Jupiter at 17 Virgo/Capricorn.  This is a positive, optimistic aspect.  Spend time with your closest friends.  Explore the world.

Sep 11 – Sun Opposite Neptune at 19 Virgo/Pisces. This can bring in some low energy.  Don’t try to start a new project on this one.  It can be confusing and distracting today.  Watch out for deception if you have personal planets or the ascendant at 15 to 19 Virgo or Pisces.

Sep 12 - Jupiter turns direct at 17 Capricorn. There could be a break in your financial matters.  Any news that comes in could be exaggerated.   But you start to be more optimistic about your plans. Just don’t go overboard.  Take it slow.  What house is 17 Capricorn located in your natal chart?  Some good luck could happen around the area of that house.

Sep 14 – Sun Trine Pluto at 22 Virgo/Capricorn. You could collaborate with someone you trust today.  Or you could get advice from someone that is advantageous.

Sep 15 – Venus Square Uranus at 10 Leo/Taurus. Your relationships can be exciting but unpredictable.  You may be looking for a new partner that is a bit crazy just to keep you entertained.  Venus also rules money so don’t invest in a wild, crazy idea today, especially if you have personal planets or the ascendant at 8 to 12 Leo or Taurus.

Sep 17 – New Moon at 24 Virgo. This is the best New Moon of the year because it trines Jupiter, Pluto, and Saturn in Capricorn.  Look for a new start.  The New Moon and the planets it trines are all in earth signs.  A good time to declutter, organize, and do some maintenance around the home. Definitely do an intention on what you want to create in your physical world.

          Mercury Square Jupiter at 17 Libra/Capricorn.  You feel optimistic today.  You love to talk and could fabricate a lot of stories just to see if anyone will believe you.  You could become the teller of tall tales if you have personal planets or the ascendant at 15 to 19 Libra or Capricorn.

Sep 21 – Mercury Square Pluto at 22 Libra/Capricorn. Some powerful person is trying to influence your thinking.  Be on guard especially if you have personal planets or the ascendant at 20 to 24 Libra/Capricorn.

Sep 22 – Sun enters Libra until Oct 22.  Accept other people’s points of view.  Bring harmony and beauty to your surroundings including those around you.

Sep 23 – Mercury Square Saturn at 25 Libra/Capricorn.  Frustrating.  You have great ideas and want to carry them through to completion, but ole Saturn is putting on the brakes.  Wait a few days, especially if you have personal planets or the ascendant at 23 to 27 Libra/Capricorn.

Sep 24 – Mercury Opposite Mars at 26 Libra/Aries.  Arguments.  Try not to be quick on the trigger with your words.  Try not to offend others.  Use this energy as a mental stimulus. Hold your tongue especially if you have personal planets or the ascendant at 24 to 28 Aries/Libra.

Sep 27 – Mercury enters Scorpio until Dec 1.  Mercury turns retrograde on Oct 13, reenters Lira on Oct 27, turns direct on Nov 3, and reenters Scorpio Nov 10.  When Mercury is in Scorpio, your mind becomes inward-focused.  You could become a touch paranoid.   Do you just think they are out to get you?  Or are they really out to get you?

Sep 28 – Venus Trine Mars at 25 Leo/Aries. Figure out a plan that will free you from financial worry.

Sep 29 – Saturn turns direct at 26 Capricorn. Saturn went into Capricorn in Dec 2017.  This is his goodbye trip because in December he moves into Aquarius.  Tie up loose ends in your Capricorn house.

          Mars square Saturn and Pluto and opposite Venus.  This is called a T-Square.  What we are seeing is a collapse of the old order. (Saturn and Pluto) replaced by individual rights (Mars) and compromise (Venus).   Mars is in its own sign, making it strong, but Saturn is also in its own sign.  This aspect represents an intense struggle.

 

OUTER PLANET TRANSITS:

JUPITER is now in Capricorn until December 20, 2020.  This month Jupiter moves retrograde until September 12 when he turns direct at 17 degrees of Capricorn.  He will stay at 17 degrees of Capricorn all month.  Jupiter is about growth and expansion especially in travel and education and also in the area of your life ruled by the house in your natal chart that contains Capricorn.  Jupiter isn’t very happy in Capricorn because he has to get down to business; become responsible, and build a career. Don’t forget about his excessive qualities. In Capricorn, he could work too hard, and be too focused on the material and forget to smell the roses

SATURN is now in Capricorn and is moving retrograde until the 29^th of September when he turns direct at 25 degrees of Capricorn.  This month he stays at 25 degrees of Capricorn.  If you have the ascendant or any personal planets at 23 to 27 degrees of Capricorn or Cancer, 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 Capricorn he is asking about your ambitions, your career, and your work ethic. In Capricorn, he is right at home and wants to build something. He stimulates you to make plans to be successful in the outer world. 

 URANUS is in Taurus until Apr 2026. This month he is retrograde and travels from 10 to 8 degrees if Taurus.   If you have personal planets or the ascendant at 6 to 12 degrees of Taurus or Scorpio, you will feel a need for freedom and for making 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, go on a long vacation, move or make some major changes in your life. Taurus is the earth.  Expect earth events such as earthquakes and hurricanes during the period that Uranus is in Taurus.

NEPTUNE (creativity, sensitivity, escapism, dreams) is in Pisces until 2026. This month Neptune is retrograde and stays at 19 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 17 to 21 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 22 degrees of Capricorn. Profound changes will be felt especially by those with the ascendant or personal planets at 20 to 24 degrees of Capricorn or Cancer. What needs to die in order to be reborn?

 Stay safe and well.

An Archetypal Astrological Review of Kamala Harris’ Birth Chart

Kamala Harris was born on Oct 20, 1964 at 9:28 PM in Oakland, CA.

I analyze birth charts by looking at the archetypes, or in other words, daimon’s or gods and goddesses. As Hillman’s states in his book, The Soul’s Code, “The soul of each of us is given a unique daimon before we are born and it has selected an image or pattern that we live on earth….the daimon is the carrier of our destiny. Thus we are born with unconscious drives and motivations.   The ancients Greeks called this energy the gods. Hillman called them daimons and Jung called them archetypes.   Archetypes are unconscious clusters of behaviors and patterns of emotions and mental constructs.  The most important archetypes in our birth chart are revealed by the sign of the Sun, the Moon, and the Ascendant.

My astrologer friend Robert Hand says that “You don’t know how much consciousness is pumped into a chart”.  That is true and that is why when I analyze a birth chart, I never try to analyze a chart of someone who is not there in front of me or not on the phone to give me feedback.  Each archetype has an evolved and unevolved or mature and immature aspect.  My experience has been that if we are introspective or have learned something from our suffering and work on ourselves, we have a better chance to manifest the higher elements of the archetypes.  My experience has also shown me that it is difficult to have worked on yourself and have all the archetypes operating in a conscious manner when you are young.   Usually, the way we evolve is that we work on our charts one archetype at a time, and by the time we are 60 or 70, there is a good chance that we have the entire chart humming along in a compassionate, conscious manner. 

I don’t know Karmala Harris personally so I do not know if she is evolved or unevolved or about the growth of all parts of her chart.  But here goes….

Kamala has the Sun in Libra, the Moon in Aries, and the ascendant in Gemini.  As I wrote earlier, I don’t like doing charts of people in a vacuum because it is so important to have a discussion with the person and to ask questions. That is the way to determine what level of consciousness the person is operating on.  I’m going to assume that Kamala has worked on herself and is operating at near the highest level of the archetypes in her birth chart. 

The Moon shows our emotional needs, the ascendant is the mask we wear, the persona, and the Sun is our core identity, what we are meant to become.  See my blog post for more on the Sun, Moon, and Ascendant meanings. The purpose of knowing these three aspects of our personality is to see if we can get them to work together.  Kamala has two air signs (Gemini and Libra) and one Fire sign (Aires).  Air signs represent the thinker and fire is the inspiration.  Fire warms the air signs that can be too cool and air fans the fire signs bringing energy and optimism to the fire.

Let’s look at the positive side of her archetypes.  First of all, she has 2 powerful goddesses in her chart; Athena (the Moon in Aries) and Aphrodite (the Sun in Libra). She was born on a Full Moon.  This can represent mood swings between what you know is logical and what your heart wants.  Trump was also born on a Full Moon, Lunar Eclipse. People born when the Moon is full are shining out a bright light that gets noticed.  They are hard to ignore.

Let’s look at the 3 important myths in her chart.  A good way to understand a mythical character or archetypes is to research how and where they were born.

 

LIBRA SUN

Aphrodite is the archetype for Libra and is the goddess of love and beautify.   Aphrodite’s birth tells us a lot about Libran energy. When Saturn castrated Uranus, it was the forces of stability, fear, rigidity, and repression against creativity, freedom, and rebellion. These energies were incompatible. The semen from the castration fell in the ocean and Aphrodite was born sailing in on a seashell.  She was the remedy for Saturn vs. Uranus.  She represents harmony and compromise. Libra rules law.  The symbol is the scales representing justice.

They are also people-pleasers, being the most sociable sign in the zodiac But Aphrodite was not all sweetness and light.  She became the mother-in-law from hell. She was jealous of her daughter-in-law Psyche because she was more beautiful and judged and punished her.

 

AIRES MOON

One of the myths for Aries is Athena the warrior, born from the head of her father.  When a prophecy was made to Zeus that a child born from his union with Metis would one day supplant him, he quickly swallowed Metis and the unborn child.  One day he had a raging headache and he asked Hephaestus (Virgo) to split open his head.  Out popped Athena, fully grown, dressed in armor, helmet, and sword.  Athena rules wisdom and battles.  There is a negative father image in this myth.  The father has a wound of some sort.  It seems one of the goals of the Aries is to overthrow the father, not turn their back on him, but to find the fragile human underneath the mask as Skywalker did to Darth Vader.

An Athena woman works with men and being a warrior she defends the patriarchy. This is a woman who will be surrounded by male energy her entire life and will learn to go into battle with them.  Aphrodite seduces men and manipulates them with her charms. Aphrodite is also male-oriented and would be lost without men in her life.

THE ASCENDANT IN GEMINI

Zeus had a clandestine affair with Maia.  She gave birth to Hermes.  When Hermes was only one day old, he got bored and restless in his cradle.  He got out and began walking around.  He decided he wanted milk and decided to steal some of his brother Apollo’s cattle.  He put his sandals on backward so no one could follow his footsteps. He sacrificed three of the cattle to the gods.

Apollo figured out that Hermes had stolen his cattle, but by this time Hermes had hidden the cattle and he was nbed in his cradle.  When Zeus and Apollo approached him, he pretended to be asleep and then sat up and said, ‘How could I steal your cattle, I am only a day old’ and he kept chattering on and making excuses.  He made Zeus and Apollo roar with laughter.

After they left, Hermes saw a tortoise and talked it into coming into his cave to play.  He killed the tortoise and made a lyre out of his shell and then got bored with the lyre which he gave to Apollo in exchange for the cattle.  He also stole Aphrodite’s girdle and the thunderbolts of Zeus, but each time he managed to talk his way out of trouble, making the Gods laugh even more.  Because of his communication skills, Zeus used him to go to the underworld and make deals with Hades. He also traveled to Olympus to talk to the Gods and to the earth world to help mortals. Because Hermes could talk to everyone on all levels, Zeus made him a messenger of the gods.  So he is a trickster and a liar, but that was when he was a baby.  His adult role is bringing important higher-level knowledge to mankind.

Looking at these three signs for Harris is why it is so ridiculous to fight for women candidates.  Gender doesn’t matter. What we could use is someone with feminine values, man or woman.  Karmala’s chart shows masculine values.  It would be nice to have a Demeter in office, a mothering type who would want to feed the world, or Artemis, the Goddess of the wilderness who protects the environment or Hestia, who is reliable to keep the home fires burning and protect our democracy. But I’m dreaming again.  So what we have instead is a law and order cop with good communication skills.

 

ASPECTS

Karmala has 4 aspects to Mars. Mars is the male planet and rules things such as the police.   Mars in his positive side is a protector.  The following are three of these aspects.

Jupiter in a Challenging Aspect to Mars – Her Mars is in Leo, a very powerful extroverted energy. Jupiter expands that Mars.  She is a fighter for her beliefs and has excessive enthusiasm and courage.  She may be impulsive and rash. A good idea for her would be to work out in a gym, hike, or use that energy in positive ways.

Saturn is Challenging Mars – I always look for at least one Saturn challenge in a chart.  I’m known as the pro-Saturn astrologer.  Saturn helps you work hard. With Mars, it indicates someone who has strength, endurance, and stamina. In her chart with the Gemini ascendant Saturn can take the many ideas she has and organize, shape, focus, and ground them.

Uranus challenges Venus – This is the signature of an unusual relationship. She would be attracted to and have relationships with someone outside of her country or group or social class.  One astrologer did a study and said that Uranus challenging Venus is an indication of a gay person.  I don’t find that true 100 percent of the time.  What I do find is that the person has a relationship that shocks others. Also, there is a need to integrate love with space and independence.  Uranus gets his back up so it would be difficult for her to compromise.

Neptune Challenges Mars – She could be a fighter for the underdog. Sometimes she is not clear on where she wants to go in life. Her sense of direction is confused.  Her aims and goals are not well thought out.  Neptune wants to escape reality.  A good outlet is taking off and running to the beach for a break. A not so good outlet is using drugs or alcohol.

Notice that three Gods, Jupiter, Saturn, and Neptune are challenging her Mars.  Being angry or assertive or working on those issues are major themes in this chart.  How to assert without being seen as aggressive? How to be diplomatic but not a pushover?

Pluto challenges Venus – Some of her relationships could be tortuous or messy. This aspect represents wounding in a relationship. It occurred in her fourth house of home.  She may have suffered some sort of abuse there. Remember astrology doesn’t say what happened, it says what you perceived happened through the filter of your archetypes. 

 

The Election

 It would be presumptive of an astrologer to be sure of how the astrological energy of any aspect and transit would specifically manifest itself   But it is fun looking at the birth charts and guessing. I did predict Trump‘s win.  Because he was born on a Lunar Eclipse, his Ascendant was on Regulus, the king star, and also Jupiter, the King, had stopped in the sky the date and time he was born.  He is a king and son of Jupiter. So he is still hard to beat. (An aside--when I write about the great chart that President Trump has, I am accused of being a Trumper, I’m not a Republican nor a Democrat, So no nasty emails, please)

I did Joe Biden’s chart when he was VP to Obama, I will dig that out and repost it. Maybe when we get closer to the election, I won’t be able to help myself from predicting the winner.

I wish her well,
