Astrology Watch Highlights:
--------------------------
This moonth begins with a Solar Eclipse at the new moon in Pisces on 17March.
This event coincides with St. Patricks Day, which is bound to make for a
lot of hearty green partiers who may be a bit more oversensitive and emotional
(Pisces) than usual. A new moon has a similar effect as a full moon, since
they both indicate a strong relation between the two major luminaries, but
a new moon tends to show as a more activated Sun (action) whereas a full moon
tends to be an overactivated Moon (reaction). The Solar Eclipse will add
extra influence to this new moon, and may provide a special opportunity for
truely new beginnings during this Moon cycle.
The Sun entering Aries on 20March marks the Spring Equinox .. and thus the
beginning of Spring! The Aries dynamism is reflected as the initiation of
new life: flowers budding, animals mating, and people doing all those
romantic things they are known for (I may be a bit more extreme than most
since I will actually be getting _married_ during this time! :-)). Keep in
mind that Aries is a Cardinal (active) Fire sign, and try to keep your cool
since there may be some people acting a bit more inflammatory than usual.
Let me now accentuate the Sun's transition from Pisces to Aries (on the
20th) by comparing some key features of the two signs. This is actually
one of the most significant transitions since it implies the culmination
of an old cycle (Pisces) and the initiation of a new one (Aries).

There are three outer planets which are starting their annual retrograde
motion this moonth (Ura, Sat, Nep). These planets always stay retrograde
for several months, but have less immediate personal impact than when an
inner planet is retrograde. When Saturn is retrograde people are likely to
become less outwardly responsible, and become more introspective and
reflective (try to guard against reinforcing guilt feelings during this time).
The planets Uranus and Neptune have a more global than personal effect, and
retrograde motion implies a respite from the forward motions of change (Uranus)
and delusion/mysticism (Neptune), and presents an opportunity to retrench
recent advances in these areas into more permanent solutions. Any recent
advances which are not based upon clear foundations and principles may
become a burden (Saturn), be dissipated (Neptune), or be destroyed (Uranus).
One other event of astrological significance this moonth (and one of my
favorites, too :-)) is that the planet Venus will be enjoying its (roughly)
annual transit through the sign Taurus until 3April. Venus rules the sign
Taurus, and thus has a special affinity for a transit through this sign.
This could indicate rejuvenation of your love life, and implies a more
stable and solid feeling in your love relationships (and, yes, more _earthy_
love-making :-)))), so enjoy it while it lasts!
Since I am a moon-child (Cancer) I am bound to accentuate the effects of the
Moon, yet I feel that Moon transits through signs are the most noticable of
astrological events (with the exception of Mercury retrograde, and possibly
Sun sign transitions) and can serve as an excellent introduction for the
beginning astrology watcher.
The next new moon is in Aries on 16April.
Until then ... keep your Astrology Watch calendar handy, and have fun!

| 672.3 | NATAL (660) vs. MUNDANE (672) Astrology | ISTG::DOLLIVER | Todd O. Dolliver | Fri Mar 18 1988 16:48 | 41 |
| re: .2;
I am fully aware that topic 660 is active, and has much information about
astrology. However, topic 660 has exclusively dealt with NATAL astrology
(ie. effects of planetary positions at the time of birth), and has no replies
dealing with the transiting planetary positions occurring _right now_.
The study of these current astrological events represents a separate branch
of astrology (called MUNDANE astrology).
In fact, thus far topic 660 is preoccupied with only a small part of NATAL
astrology: sun-sign astrology. While this serves as an appropriate intro
to the characteristics of each sign, I feel it is somewhat simplistic and can
turn a lot of people off from pursuing a more refined understanding. I hoped
that this new topic would give people a chance to see astrology in action for
themselves, every day. For me, the daily observations make astrology much
more _alive_ and _dynamic_ than the view provided by even a complete Natal
chart interpretation. Of course, the most accurate perspective is obtained
only when you map the current zodiacal events onto your own natal chart!
I considered this natal/mundane distinction to be a significant enough
difference to justify a separate topic allowing this day-to-day information
to be accessed directly, rather than having to scan through the over 80
replies in 660.
Todd
To CSCMA::SNOW: I realize that you started topic 660, and therefore may feel
that it is the only astrology topic worth continuing. However, I reviewed the
other relevant topics (204, 269, 539, 591, 624, and 660) and determined that
this was indeed something _different_. Did you also do that when you started
topic 660 instead of posting a response to topic 269?
PS. If anyone noticed a flicker of flame in my final comment it
could be related to the Moon being in Aries today (Cardinal Fire).
(BTW: in trine with my natal Moon in Leo (Fixed Fire))
When the Moon is in Aries, you don't even need a match to make a ~flame~!
Do you wonder where the Moon will be tomorrow?
Check the current astrology watch calendar (672.1) and find out :-).

This moonth the Sun will transition from Aries to Taurus on April 19th.
The following chart highlights this sun-sign transition.

The Sun in Taurus indicates much more grounded and stable energy compared
to the dynamic and possibly frantic energy associated with the Sun in Aries.
With both Jupiter and Mercury (April 23) transiting through Taurus, these
qualities will be further accentuated, and Mercury should provide much more
orderly and practical communication faculties.
You may notice that there are _many_ planetary aspects towards the end of
April, and most of them are conjunctions and trines involving the three
planets in Taurus and the three retrograde planets in Capricorn (Saturn,
Uranus, and Neptune). These aspects should contribute to the feeling of
being grounded and the ability to deal with problems in a practical way.
So, if you've been feeling that your life is frantic lately (mine sure has
been :-)), the end of April should bring a welcome feeling of relief.
Jupiter is particularly active this moonth, with a trine to Neptune on
22April, and an opposition to Pluto on 27April. The Neptune trine opens
the potential for access to universal love and creativity, so strive for
the highest understanding of the cosmic order during this time. This aspect
also indicates heightened psychic sensitivity, but be careful of potential
delusions (Neptune). The Jupiter opposition to Pluto, however, indicates
the creation of grandiose, exploitative schemes which are likely to eventually
fail. A productive use of this energy will involve the _elimination_ of
unworkable elements of financial plans or personal relationships, as opposed
to the _initiation_ of these plans and relationships. With both the Sun and
Mercury transiting close to Jupiter, these aspects are likely to be more
noticable.
Finally, the square between Mars in Aquarius and Pluto in Scorpio on April
23 is a potentially very serious aspect for which little positive can be said.
The coupling of reform tendencies (Pluto) and desire/anger (Mars) can make
for a very explosive situation, and since both planets reside in Fixed signs
there may be little room for discussion or compromise. In addition, Jupiter
(also in a Fixed sign, Taurus) is approaching opposition to Pluto, and even
the Moon will be in the Fixed sign Leo on this day. This creates a transiting
grand cross (four planets all squaring/opposing each other from different
quadrants) in fixed signs which is likely to make some type of confrontation
unavoidable.
The Mars/Pluto square indicates the potential to destroy things (Pluto) out
of anger (Mars), and thus this is _definitely_not_ the time to decide upon
major changes in your life, since they are likely to be ill advised and
reactionary. This aspect can involve being downright mean and nasty to people
you care about, so try to keep some perspective on events during this time,
and struggle to retain feelings of kindness for those you love. If your
natal chart has any planets or house cusps between 10 and 12 degrees of any
fixed sign, expect these aspects of your life to be aggravated at this time.
If you were born between May 2-4 (Taurus), August 2-4 (Leo), November 2-4
(Aquarius) or January 31-February 2 (Aquarius) then your Sun falls within
this range, so these warnings apply especially to you.
This nasty aspect provides an opportunity to start using astrology in a
productive way by trying to use your foreknowledge of these tendencies to
side-step the potential calamity indicated by this aspect. Simply stated,
do not try to reform (Pluto) your loved ones during this time (April 22-24),
as it may provoke extreme anger (Mars), and similarly, if someone else is
attempting to impose reform on you, try to overlook it for now and cling to
feelings of kindness. It may be tough, but you _can_ defuse difficult
aspects such as these without getting trapped into their negative tendencies,
and you may gain some extremely valuable insights along the way.
The next new moon is in Taurus on 15May.
Until then ... keep your Astrology Watch calendar handy,
and keep the stars in mind!

| Re: .11
Good one, John.
Todd, this is really wild...I don't take much stock in the daily
horoscopes as they are rather imprecise, but around the end of March
Sydney Omarr's daily horoscope for Aries said something like "major
changes in store-Pisces involved", and the forecast for Pisces said
the same thing, only "Aries involved".
Being an Aries (with my moon in Pisces and Aquarius rising) you
can imagine my shock when someone came into my life *that very day*
who is a Pisces...this person ended up staying with me for a week
and believe me, it was intense. Doesn't water put out fire, Todd?
If I didn't believe it before I do now.
Now that M. is gone, I met someone two weeks ago (today) who, come to find
out, has a birthday of March 29. This person had just broken up
a 3-year relationship with someone who's birthday was April 1. And,
my birthday is March 30. I'm now seeing this person regularly.
Rather odd how our three birthdays fall on three consecutive days.
Might this mean something (other than fiery relationships)?

| re .15;
I appreciate your interest in the Astrology Watch .. it makes me feel that
it is worthwhile for me to prepare this info. However, the Astrology Watch
Calendar comes in 'moonthly' (per moon cycle) not monthly installments.
I deemed the 'moonthly' cycle to be most appropriate for these aspects, and
I also hoped to raise the general awareness of Moon cycle and sign transitions
since these are often dynamic and noticable astrological events. I also
considered sun-sign transition installments (still not on the month boundary),
yet since I have an aversion to exclusively sun-sign astrological
interpretations I chose the Moon.
The current 'moonthly' Astrology Watch calendar covers the period from new
moon in Aries on April 16th to new moon in Taurus on May 15th, and resides
in reply .13 of this topic.
Thank you for your support :-).
re .14; Doug,
The information that you have provided is interesting. However ...
I have no idea why the daily sun-sign horoscope indicated these attachments,
or why they rang so true for you. The data you have provided is insufficient
for me to determine a proper comparative chart between you and either one of
your acquaintances. Since I do not have an automatic chart comparison program
(yet), the detailed analysis would be beyond my current scope anyway (I have
only prepared these for my closest relationships). However, given the
information you have provided I can mention a few astrological points
concerning your relationships.
First, Aries (the beginning, Fire, cardinal) and Pisces (the end, Water,
mutable) often do have a difficult time relating to each other. It is not
only Pisces sympathies which quench Aries activities (Water quenching Fire),
but also sensitive Pisces may quickly take offense to the abruptness and
insensitivity of the Aries (Fire 'steaming' Water ?:-)).
Second, your own suitability for relationships with some Pisces individuals
is indicated by your Moon position (Pisces). The Moon conjunct Sun aspect
is especially favorable in a relationship and indicates intimate emotional
understanding and close attunement (intense!).
Third, your relationships with other Aries (and especially those with
birthdays within a couple of days of yours) indicates another aspect in
your comparative chart: Sun conjunct Sun. This is also a generally favorable
aspect in a relationship since both individuals are fueled by energy from
the same source (they may _express_ it in different ways of course).
Some relationships with this aspect can become a bit lop-sided (when viewed
as a couple/partnership) since both individuals may approach a particular
problem in the same way, thus reducing the diversity of responses of the
partnership to a variety of problems. People _within_ the relationship
may not mind this, people interacting with the relationship may.
So, in summary, your particular attachments appear to be astrologically
understandable at the level of significant aspects of conjunction between
the luminaries (Sun and Moon), which are both very powerful aspects when
they appear in any relationship.
Keep your Astrology Watch calendar handy, and ...
Decide for yourself!

Astrology Watch Highlights:
--------------------------
The new moon on 15May in Taurus (Fixed, Earth) provides an opportunity to
initiate new projects on a firm and stable foundation, and since Taurus is
ruled by Venus, this could mean a new love relationship or a new stability
within an existing relationship.
On 17May the Sun 27Taurus squares Mars 27Aquarius. This aspect increases
the likelihood of fights and accidents, so be careful. Since both the Sun
and Mars are in fixed signs, it would be wise to nip arguments in the bud
because if the fighting escalates then people may be more stubborn about
holding their stances. This aspect lasts about � a day, and may be especially
active for those whose natal Sun is conjunct, square, or opposed to these
signs/degrees; namely, if your birthday falls on one of the following dates:
16-18 May (Taurus), 19-21 August (Leo), 19-21 November (Scorpio), or 17-19
February (Aquarius).
Also on 17May, Venus enters Cancer for a very short time since it then turns
retrograde on 22May, and goes back into Gemini on 27May. During Venus' brief
stay in Cancer, your appreciation of beauty will be directed more towards
your home and family, and people will tend to be more sensitive and emotional.
On 19May Venus in Cancer opposes Uranus in Capricorn. This could mean
disruption (Uranus) of your love life (Venus), or could simply indicate a
more adventurous attitude towards pursuing those things which you cherish.
The Sun will transition from Taurus to Gemini on 20May. The following chart
highlights this sun-sign transition.

The Sun in Gemini indicates a more mental and somewhat scattered energy which
is expressed through communication of ideas, compared to the stable and
grounded energy associated with the Sun in Taurus. With both Mercury (which
rules Gemini) and Venus also in Gemini for most of this moonth, these
tendencies should be more obvious, but since only inner planets are involved
the effects will not be very deep emotionally. Gemini is known for
superficiality, but also for wit, charm, twins, and multiple lovers.
On 22May, Venus turns retrograde, which just indicates a more reflective
attitude towards the people and things which you love, and possibly a
reevaluation of your current pursuits of those things. Later in the same
day, Venus trines Mars just after Mars has entered Pisces. This is an
_excellent_ aspect for creating very harmonious love relationships, so you
may be able to use these tendencies to counteract any negative effects of
the previous Venus oppose Uranus aspect. Also, Mars in Pisces is not as
energetic as Mars in many (any!) other signs, but it can the most sensitive
and and 'mushy' placement for romance. (And I'm not just saying that because
my natal Mars is in Pisces ;-})
On 26May, Uranus backs into Sagittarius, which is the natural placement for
Uranus, and can restore a good flow of adventurous energy, and possibly
loosen some of the restrictions (Uranus in Capricorn) that may have been
limiting you lately.
On 27May, Venus backs into Gemini to complete its current transit in Cancer.
This could be a somewhat confusing time as far as your affections are
concerned as this will tend to lighten up your attitude in just those areas
where you just decided to get serious when Venus entered Cancer. Also, Venus
opposes Uranus again (this time from Gemini to Sag .. probably milder) so be
wary of possible disruptions. Stay aware as to how your expressions affect
others at this time, since affectional interests are somewhat cloudy during
this Venus sign transition. The best advice is to lighten up and let go.
On 31May, Mercury turns retrograde for ~4 weeks. This happens three to four
times a year (4-8 weeks per time), and has some of the most noticable effects
of any astrological event. When Mercury is retrograde (especially as it
_turns_ retro) communication faculties slow down, people become more
reflective, and communications in general falter. This does not have to be
such a negative period so long as you don't try to push..push..push everything
through, because you will just get frustrated since nothing will move as fast
as you want it to. Rather try to allow extra time for things, and be content
to let them happen at their own pace.
In this particular case, since Mercury is transiting through its own sign
Gemini, the retrograde Mercury may be mild, but since everyone will be talking
anyway (doin' the Gemini chat) this event should be easily noticable.
Be careful what you say or write during this period due to inevitable
misinterpretations. The best advice here is KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid!).
Do not expect anyone to understand your idioms or inuendos. They may nod ..
but you can bet that they didn't pick up on your subtleties, and they are
probably agreeing to something that you never said. (Actually, this may make
for even better 'chatting' :-})
Due to miscommunications on all levels, this is _not_ a good time to sign
contracts; and get at least a 30 day warrantee on any mechanical or electrical
products or work that you have done during this time. This is a _good_ period
for thinking about new projects or reevaluating old projects (be reflective),
but is _not_ a good time to start in on them (because inevitably your
understanding is not quite accurate or complete now).
I always get a kick out of watching the live news programs during Mercury
retrograde periods because it is always the time that ... the connection to a
field reporter gets lost, the camera comes back to an unaware newscaster, he
reads from the wrong cue card, mispronounces several words, totally distorts
the intended inflections, etc... It's much more fun than the regular news! ;-)
Of course, watching notes files during this period can be equally as fun! ;-P
On 7June, Mars in Pisces trines Pluto in Scorpio. This will highlight the
secrets of your life (12th house activities). Since it is a harmonious
aspect this could indicate the revelation of secret friends; although Pluto
(the reformer) could always throw in a hidden enemy or two. This aspect also
relates to incarceration (another 12th house goody), but the trine would add
a bias towards rehabilitation instead of punishment.
On 12June, the Sun conjuncts both Venus and Mercury in Gemini. This will
make for pleasant, harmonious conversation (Sun cnj Venus) and will be the
pinnacle of chattiness (Sun cnj Merc in Gemini). Discussions are likely to
stay light, bright and fun. People may have a difficult time communicating
ideas (Mercury retrograde) but that certainly won't keep them from talking.
The next new moon is in Gemini on 14June.
Until then ... keep your Astrology Watch calendar handy,
and maybe Kitty Dukakis will call _you_ for some political advice ! ;-)

Astrology Watch Highlights:
--------------------------
The new moon on 14June in Gemini (Mutable, Air) provides an opportunity to
initiate new projects of a mental or communicative nature. Gemini is ruled
by Mercury, and since Mercury is still retrograde at the time of this new
moon, the projects may get off to a slow start, but since Mercury is also in
its own sign Gemini, this effect should be minimal. In addition, this
new moon follows close on the heels of harmonious conjunctions between the
Sun, Mercury, and Venus, which bode well for projects formulated during this
moon cycle (although waiting until Mercury goes direct on 24June is still
recommended for initiating, or at least announcing, new projects).
On 20June, the Sun at 29Gem opposes both Saturn and Uranus at 29Sag.
The Saturn opposition indicates a period of hard work where responsibilities
tend to pile up faster than they can be taken care of. Don't be too hard on
yourself if you can't do _everything_ for _everyone_. The Uranus opposition
indicates some discord or resentment which could become inflamed, so try to
be tactful.
Later on 20June, the Sun will transition from Gemini to Cancer. This
transition also marks the first day of Summer, called the Summer Solstice.
On this day, the Sun reaches its Northernmost apparent angle of declination,
and the Sun shines for the longest daylight period of the year (in the
Northern Hemisphere). The following chart highlights this sun-sign transition.

The Sun in Cancer indicates an active emotional and often moody energy which
is expressed through feelings, compared to the mental and scattered energy
associated with the Sun in Gemini. Cancer is known for sensitivity, concerns
over home and family, nurturing, dependence, and martyrdom.
Also on 20June, Venus 18Gem squares Mars 18Pis, with Mercury squaring Mars
from the same position on the next day, 21June. The Mercury-Venus conjunction
contributes artistry and pleasant communications, while the Venus-Mars square
tends toward extravagance with pleasures and conflicts with desires. The
Mercury-Mars square leads to very touchy and challenging communications.
On 24June, Mercury 18Gem stops its retrograde motion and goes direct. The
retrograde effect lasts for a couple of extra days until a bit of forward
movement is evident, so don't assume that you can shift into full speed ahead
right away, but gradually the confusion and delays of retrograde Mercury will
abate. I am interested in whether people have noticed any effects which
could be attributed to this Mercury retrograde period (see previous Astrology
Watch calendar for detailed description of effects, if needed). This event
has some of the most noticable effects of any astrological event, and if you
want to discern other subtleties of the astrological 'climate' then this event
is a good one to start with. If you cannot identify any obvious delays or
communication mishaps that could be attributed to this Mercury retrograde
period then check your pulse (;-}), and if you are still with us then you
might try to discern some of the other readily noticeable events such as Sun
and Moon sign transitions, Sun-Moon aspects (especially the new and full moon),
and void-of-course Moon periods.
On 30June the Sun 08Can opposes Neptune 08Cap, and then on 01July, the Sun
trines Pluto 09Sco. As can be inferred from the temporal proximity of these
aspects, Pluto and Neptune are in a sextile relationship to each other, and
have been for several years. This aspect indicates a strong desire to create
(or destroy/recreate) on a spiritual level, and is associated with heightened
psychic sensitivities. The Sun-Neptune opposition indicates a period when
the desires may be impractical, overidealistic, or deluded; yet potentially
inspiring. The Sun-Pluto trine indicates that changes enacted during this
period may be progressive and beneficial, and may last a long time.
From 09July to 11July, Mars 28Pis and Mercury 28Gem are very active with a
square to each other (for the second time this moonth .. see above), and
oppositions (Mercury) or squares (Mars) to both Saturn and Uranus 28Sag.
Mars square Saturn indicates that duties may seem to be forced upon you by
others; while Mars square Uranus can lead to false starts and accidents
(especially with cars so drive carefully). Mercury oppose Saturn is in some
ways similar to a retrograde Mercury, since it indicates burdensome delays
and miscommunications; while Mercury oppose Uranus indicates a period of
nervous irritations.
On 12July Mercury enters Cancer which will signal the end of the somewhat
superficial Gemini chatting, and will lead to more sensitive and home-oriented
ideas and communications.
On 13July Mars enters Aries, which it rules. Mars, representing our desire
nature, can be very active and potent when in Aries, but you should try to
restrain your desires from becoming so inflammatory that they 'burn' the
people around you.
The next new moon is in Cancer on 13July.
Until then ... keep your Astrology Watch calendar handy,
and see for yourself!

Astrology Watch Highlights:
--------------------------
The new moon on 13July in Cancer (Cardinal, Water) provides an opportunity
to carry out new projects on the emotional level, and especially relates to
the 4th house (Cancer) concerns of home and family. Cancer is ruled by the
moon, so this is a natural moon cycle where you have an opportunity to
reestablish and reformulate the operation of your own inner emotions/reactions
(moon) and home/family situation (moon) for the next year.
On 13July, Mars enters Aries, its ruling sign and thus the natural
placement of Mars. Mars in Aries is very agressive, assertive, and dynamic,
and exemplifies those characteristics we associated with the beginning of
spring (when the Sun is in Aries). Anger may arise quickly, but can disappear
just as fast, and can be transformed into a more positive dynamic expression.
On 17July and 18July Mercury first opposes Neptune and then trines Pluto.
This is yet another indication of the long-lasting sextile relation between
Neptune and Pluto, which is discussed in the last Astrology Watch. The
Mercury-Neptune opposition indicates potentially unfavorable (opposition)
communications (Mercury) about hidden or secret things (Neptune); or in
other words, gossip and/or scandalous news. This can also force (opposition)
a communication (Mercury) with the unseen or psychic realms (Neptune); so it
may be wise to exercise extra precautions for all psychic activities during
this time. The Mercury-Pluto trine offers favorable (trine) thoughts or
communications (Mercury) about newly (re)born projects, especially those of
far-reaching scope (Pluto), and especially those related to home and family
(Mercury in Cancer).
On 20July, Pluto goes direct, following its single yearly retrograde period
(like all other 'outer' planets). When Pluto turns direct, subconcious
thoughts regarding new enterprises and 8th house activities (sex, death with
rebirth, other people's money) come to the surface. There is a tendency
with Pluto to rebuild things by starting with a breakdown to initiate the
rebuilding process. This brutal approach can serve to winnow out any and
all things which are extraneous to fulfilling the enterprises.
On 21July, Jupiter leaves Taurus and enters Gemini. This will lead to more
expansiveness (Jupiter) with communications and social endeavors (Gemini ruled
by Mercury). Also, the money that you may have been sitting on for a while
(Jupiter in Taurus) may suddenly start to flow out of your bank accounts
towards a variety of scattered interests (Jupiter in Gemini).
On 22July, the Sun will transition from Cancer to Leo. Since this is the
Sun's natural sign (Sun rules Leo), this is the highlight of the year for
the expression of ego and personality (Sun). This can lead to a regal/royal
(..pain in the @$$...) type of arrogant attitude yet it does not hold quite so
much egotism as it sounds since Leo also imparts great generosity, playfulness,
and affection towards children. The following chart highlights this sun-sign
transition.
Cancer Leo
---------- ----------
Duality Feminine Masculine
Element Water Fire
Quality Cardinal Fixed
Planet Moon Sun
Keyword 'I Feel' 'I Will'
Polarity Capricorn Aquarius
Body Parts Breast,stomach Back,heart
Animals Crab,shellfish Felines
Later on 22July, the Sun sextiles Jupiter, which is bound to make for an
expansive and fun social/communicative atmosphere. A great night for a party!
On 28July, the Sun trines Mars. With both the Sun and Mars in their natural
signs, this aspect should impart great energy and productive (or reproductive
;-}) drives. This makes for an optimum time to conceive a child, and it is
likely to be a male child if conceived at this time.
Later on 28July, Mercury leaves Cancer and enters Leo, and on 29July Mercury
sextiles Jupiter. Some of our over-sensitive communication patterns (Mercury
in Cancer) should dissipate, but may be replaced with some more generous and
fun although potentially arrogant patterns. The sextile with Jupiter provides
a very mentally expansive (Jupiter) start to Mercury's transit through Leo,
and bodes well for realizing the more positive generous expressions of Mercury
in Leo.
On 1August, Mercury trines Mars indicating a very quick mind, but it would
be wise to wait until afternoon before acting on any of these ideas to avoid
the void-of-course moon period.
Also on 1August, the Sun squares Pluto (yuk) while on 2August, Mercury squares
Pluto too, and the Sun and Mercury are conjunct. The Sun-Pluto square holds
the potential for fixed-ego fights and arguments where other people's plans
conflict with your own. The Mercury-Pluto square indicates mental mistakes
and potential overspending. The Sun-Mercury conjunction imparts clear thinking
and added communication energy, so try to use this energy to avoid the fights
and errors in judgement.
On 2August, Venus opposes Saturn, and on 3August, Venus opposes Uranus.
This is just plain nasty, and is another effect of the current conjunction
between Saturn and Uranus which can cause tensions to build since the effects
of Saturn are to restrict and stabilize while the effects of Uranus are to
free-up and destabilize. Venus doesn't stand a chance in opposition to these
heavy outer planets. Venus oppose Saturn may make you feel restricted in
your relationships because of burdensome duties, while Venus oppose Uranus
is traditionally referred to as a divorce aspect since it inidcatesa strong
attraction to the more impulsive solutions to problems in a relationship.
Since Venus is now in Gemini, associated with multiple lovers, this Venus
oppose Uranus following the Venus oppose Saturn apect is the most likely time
for sexual affairs to be initiated. So, to avoid some of the Venus-Saturn
negative effect, do not compare your own duties/responsibilities to those
of other people as this will only cause trouble, and try as hard as you can
to be kind to your loved ones. To avoid the Venus-Uranus aspect, keep in
mind that your loved ones love you, and reallize that while the Uranus effect
can often open up a freer field of expression for you, to express this freedom
through sexual affairs may dramatically disrupt other relationships, and also,
a relationship started at this time is very unlikely to last long.
On 3August, Mars square Neptune which can lead to laziness, procrastination,
or religious fanaticism. The desire nature (Mars) is deluded and/or dissipated
(Neptune) at this time, so mellow out and don't push it.
On 6August, Venus enters Cancer, and your relationships will progress from
flirty Gemini interests to the solid home and family concerns of Cancer.
This makes for a good time to redecorate and beautify your home, and spend
more time with your family.
On 10August Mercury trines Saturn, and on 11August Mercury trines Uranus.
This time the Saturn-Uranus conjunction appears to benefit us, but it is
still a bit of a push-pull situation. Mercury trine Saturn leads to the
formulation of very realistic and down-to-earth decisions to lay down the
foundation of your future, while Mercury trine Uranus indicates a dynamic
and changing environment with new friends and a potentially exciting social
life. Your best bet may be to plan (Saturn) for exciting and disruptive
changes (Uranus). :-}
The next new moon is in Leo on 12August.
Until then ... keep your Astrology Watch calendar handy, and
pack your psychic umbrella to keep you dry during the astrological showers!

Astrology Watch Highlights:
--------------------------
The new moon on 12August in Leo (Fixed, Fire) provides an opportunity
to really have some fun this summer. This sign relates to the 5th house
(Leo) activities of partying, appreciation of 'decadent' pleasures ;-},
affection towards children, and also imparts a generous attitude. Leo is
ruled by the Sun, so there is involvement of the personality/ego with
possible excessive vanity, and Leo is a Fixed sign which can lead to
stubbornness, but over-all this is likely to be the most enjoyable portion
of this summer season.
Also on the 12th, Mercury enters Virgo. Mercury rules Virgo, so this is
an appropriate sign for the rational thinking functions of Mercury, yet
our ideas will tend to be more methodical as opposed to inspirational,
and sobering instead of enlightening. In any case, a lot of efficient work
can be accomplished with Mercury in Virgo, so get to it. When Mercury changes
signs the effect is similar to a 'mini' Mercury retrograde period, where
various communications may be misconstrued, or misconceived. Keep a low
profile, avoid 'presentation' type commitments on this day, and recheck any
'bright' ideas you come up with during this period.
On 15August through 18August there is an potentially beneficial interplay
between the planets Venus (in Cancer), Mercury (in Virgo), Pluto (in Scorpio),
and Neptune (in Capricorn). All four planets are nearly exactly 60 degrees
(2 signs, sextile aspect) away from their closest neighbor among this group,
and they appear in zodiac order in the sequence listed. Thus Venus will
sextile Mercury, trine Pluto, and oppose Neptune; in addition Mercury will
sextile Pluto, and trine Neptune; and, as I have indicated in a prior astrology
watch, Neptune and Pluto have been in a near-sextile relationship for several
years. The only 'difficult' aspect in this group is Venus oppose Neptune on
15August, which fosters a tendency to daydream instead of act, dissipate
energies instead of accumulating them, and possibly partake in drug-induced
escapism. However, Venus and Neptune _do_ have a certain affinity for each
other, and the opposition can indicate artistic, pleasurable, and psychic
pursuits, so along with the other more clearly beneficial aspects the
Venus-Neptune opposition need not be negative. Meanwhile, Mercury trine
Neptune on 16August is good for psychic activities (and may add a bit of
inspiration to an otherwise over-rational Mercury in Virgo), but be careful
not to let your ideas become too diffuse. Mercury sextile Venus on 17August
will make people feel pretty good, and will allow people to talk about how
they have been feeling lately (and they have been 'feeling' alot since Venus
is _very_ sensitive when in Cancer). Mercury sextile Pluto and Venus trine
Pluto on 18August indicate some effective 'rebuilding' of mental ideas and
love relationships, and can indicate the resurgence of a past love. Also,
with Pluto in Scorpio there is no way to escape the strong sexual overtones.
Also on 18August the Sun trines Saturn and on the 19th, the Sun trines
Uranus. Here the trines are good for ego-building and self-confidence, and
may indicate the initiation of some productive changes, yet the combined
effects of Saturn (restriction/discipline) and Uranus (unexpected change)
create a bit of a push-pull which may be exciting but a bit disruptive.
Here you may have the effect that you _finally_ feel secure/good/responsible
about something (Sun trine Saturn) and then the next day you find out that
you are not going to be able to do it anymore (Sun trine Uranus). Oh well,
the confidence gained is its own reward .. right? :-} You have to learn to
go with the flow to deal with Uranus aspects. 'Trusting' this flow may
finally occur when you realize that the disruptive Uranus changes can open
up freer and more interesting activities to you.
Also on 19August Venus squares Mars. This can lead to sensitive (Venus) or
sharp (Mars) overreactions. In addition, no other sign placements (Venus in
Cancer, Mars in Aries) would do more to _accentuate_ these potential negative
tendencies. People may be sulky, may oscillate irregularly between aggression
and conciliation, and may be more likely to get involved in fights, or more
aptly, 'spats'.
On 22August, the Sun will transition from Leo to Virgo. This will signify
the entrance into the adaptable (mutable) portion of the summer season, and
the Virgo emphasis will redirect our efforts towards service, work, and health
issues. With the Sun in Virgo people are likely to be very meticulous
(especially about cleanliness), more practical, and more analytical with a
tendency towards nit-picking criticality, yet this is an excellent time to
initiate task which require extreme attention to detail.
The following chart highlights this sun-sign transition.

On 26August, Mars goes retrograde until 29October. This indicates a
general repression of the direct Mars/desire energies which make it difficult
to press forward in any direction. Reconsolidation is suggested. Also,
a few extra rules of thumb about Mars retrograde periods .. if you buy a
car, or actually any machinery (generally ruled by Mars), during a Mars
retrograde period it is likely to be _very_ accident prone .. if you start a
sexual relationship during a Mars retrograde period it is likely to end
in enmity. So .. stay out of the back seats of new cars until Halloween ;-}.
On 27August there is a full moon and partial lunar eclipse (thus stronger
effect) with the Moon in Pisces and the Sun in Virgo. The Pisces Moon is
extremely sensitive and impressionable, a tendency which will be heightened
during this full moon period. There is also a possibility of overindulgence
in food, liquor, or drugs.
Also on 27August Mercury squares Saturn, and on the next day squares Uranus.
Again the push-pull of restrictions (Saturn) and unexpected changes
(Uranus) applied to your ideas and communications. This may indicate some
unexpected set-backs at work (Mercury in Virgo).
On 30August Saturn will turn direct at 26Sag. Certain restrictions which
may have seemed log-jammed for some time may start to loosen up a bit.
This identifies the start of a period during which it is more advisable to
take on new responsibilities.
Also on 30August, Mercury enters Libra (Mercury is moving fast now, and
transited through Virgo in only 18 days). Mercury in Libra contributes to
some indecisive thought patterns where both sides of an issue are identified
such that yet neither side can be adopted. Mercury in Libra does indicate
an active and alert mind which has a lot of potential for balancing out
the black-and-white polarities associated with Mercury in Virgo, yet you may
end up with a big grey blob if you are not careful. Mercury in Libra is
especially attuned to communications within relationships (Libra), so you
may be able to resolve some lingering miscommunications in your relationships.
Also on 30August the Sun trines Neptune which indicates a good day for
artistic or creative endeavors, or psychic endeavors.
On 3Sept Mercury trines Jupiter providing expansive thinking patterns.
On 5Sept Uranus will turn direct at 27Sag. Changes which may have been
in the works for some time may start taking effect at this time.
Also on 5Sept, Mercury squares Neptune, which could dissipate your mental
energies or cause deceptive communications. If you stretch your mental
faculties on this day instead of falling into a daydream you may be able to
produce some surprisingly insightful work.
On 7Sept Venus enters Leo. This may lead to more fun from social activities
and from romance and love. A key phrase of the Venus in Leo transit could
be "I want to be adored" along with the inevitable corollary "I want to be
adorable". There is a definite tinge of vanity here. So .. schedule a
hairdressing appointment, get the manicure and the whole works, and let
people pamper you ;-}. This is likely to give you great pleasure while Venus
is transiting through Leo (for about a month). Also, buy someone you love
roses or champagne or something extravagant. They'll love it .. and you ;^}.
On 9Sept Mercury opposes Mars (with Mars retrograde). This can lead to
fights. More communication could lead to more fights. They may be petty
squabbling fights (not fights with some goal in mind). Be careful of
expressing yourself in too abrupt a manner as this is bound to inflame those
you are relating to. Also, be careful driving during this period since
accidents could be more likely.
The next new moon is in Virgo on 11September. _That_ will be time to clean
up all the little stuff which has been hanging around the corners of your life.
Until then ... keep your Astrology Watch calendar handy, and ..
.. enjoy yourself!!
This moon cycle provides the most astrological potential for sheer fun of
any cycle so far this year! Stay tuned ..

| Re: .22 Mars Retrograde
My washing machine broke down last week. Knowing how
Mars retrograde affects machinery I bought my new one
last night. The problem is that I can't get it delivered
until Aug. 27. Does this matter? I've had terrible
problems in the past with machinery _purchased_ during
a Mars retrograde period. Will the delivery date make
a difference?
BTW - A HUGE THANK YOU for all the work you two put
into this each month! I find it a great help!

| Re: .23
Nanci,
It is typically the time of the sales transaction (selection and payment)
which is used as the astrologically relevant time for purchases.
Thus, since Mars is not yet retrograde (goes retro on 26August), and
since the moon was not void-of-course last night (should always keep
that in mind for any major purchases) then your new washing machine gets
a fundamentally clean astrological bill of health, no matter when
it is delivered. The delivery date could affect the short-term
operation of your new washer, but should not have a lasting effect.
However, if they call you back a couple of days before delivery
to say that they are unable to send the model or color that you
selected, then the 'purchase' time would be reset due to your
reselection, even though the payment has already been made.
Todd
BTW. We appreciate the thank you, Nanci. It is encouraging to
learn that some people are finding this information useful.

| 672.25 | For what it's worth... | NATASH::BUTCHART | | Fri Aug 19 1988 15:56 | 34 |
| A comment about void of course moons that I have observed in my
own life.
Common astrological wisdom states that one should not make major
purchases when the moon is void of course. The term refers to the
time between when the moon makes its last major aspect to any planet
(while in a given sign) and the time it enters the next sign. Thus,
the moon would go void of course these days after aspecting Saturn
and Uranus in (roughly) 25-27 degrees of Sagittarius.
This means that, depending on planetary placements by degrees of
the signs, the void of course period may be shorter or longer in
a given month. After Saturn and Uranus move on into the early degrees
of Capricorn the void of course period will tend to be quite long
when the other planets are also in early degrees of the signs they
are transiting.
One thing I have observed, however, is that one's own birth chart
can have an impact on this; one can have one's own "personal" void
of course period, so to speak. This would be the period after the
moon makes its last aspect _to your natal planetary placements_
while in a given sign, and its entry into the next sign. If you
have planets in 25 - 29 degrees of any sign, your own personal void
of course period is quite short.
It's true my mundane affairs go _really_ well when the moon is neither
void of course in relation to the mundane transits nor in relation
to the transits to my own chart. But I have discovered it is possible
for me to operate without disaster regarding major purchases et al
even after the mundane lunar transit has gone void of course. I
have a planet at 27 degrees of a sign, which means that my personal
void of course period is fairly short.

RE: Mars retrograde,
I know someone who, a few year's back, bought a car while Mars
was retrograde. By the time she finally had *had it* with this
car, four new engines were put in it and each one failed miserably.
Worst case of a Mars retrograde purchase I ever heard of :-).

Re: .27 Carole
The reason I was so careful about purchasing my washing
machine before the Mars retrograde is because of some
experiences my mother had a few years back. She is a
real estate broker/manager. The company she worked for
at the time moved her into a new office and all of the
office equipment was bought during a Mars retrograde.
For the next 1 1/2 years things were breaking down.
She had trouble with the phone system, copy machine,
modem lines (not DEC), even the coffee machine. After
months of frustration she happened to see an astrologer
friend at a party who explained about the Mars retrograde.
This obviously didn't solve the problems but there was
at least an explanation.
Re: Marcia
Thanks for the input. I'm not very up on moon aspects.
How do I find out where the moon was in relation to
my birth chart (I know it was in Scorpio, but phase??)?
Also, do you know of any good books about moon phases?
I had my chart done years ago by someone who was just
beginning to study moon phases but was new enough to it
that it seemed kind of hazy to me.

| RE: Mars Retrograde
Not being very familiar with this, I have another question ...
As to "major purchases" and not making them during this period -
My vehicle broke down Monday morning (of course), and the repairs
included LOTS of new parts, and what I consider a *major* sum of
money. Being as this is the first time I've ever had any trouble
at all with this vehicle (after 80,000 miles); would you consider
this as the same kind of "major purchase" you warn about?
I don't want to put any energy into the worry, but now that the
nasty little seed has been planted, I can't help but wonder.
Thanks,
Cindy
|
| 672.31 | To Gloria | NATASH::BUTCHART | | Tue Sep 06 1988 14:04 | 17 |
| Well, here are a couple of things to consider.
By "major purchase" I myself include only _first time_ purchases
of a totally new whole piece of equipment.
Also, I think that Mars retrograde had something to do with your
piece of heavily used (80 kilomiles is no small amount) equipment.
If any equipment, including your physique too, by the way, is in
need of overhaul, Mars retrograde periods can underline those needs
quite forcefully. The usually extroverted energy, focused inward,
can reveal inward stresses that must be attended to before taking
whatever it is on the road again, so to speak.
So get those repairs and pay the bill. Mars is telling you that
they're needed.
Marcia

| re .30, Cindy:
Retrograde Mars may have accentuated the mechanical problems leading
to your car's current problems, but since your car is broken now, you
have no choice (I presume) but to fix it now. Astrology can be used to
help determine optimum times for a variety of different actions for which
you can select a time, but when you don't have a choice there is no need
to astrologically second guess what you know you must do anyway. However,
astrology may still be able to provide a few hints about how to go about
doing these things.
While I agree with Marcia that Mars retrograde problems are typically
considered to primarily apply to NEW purchases, the replacement parts
and repair services could also be affected (especially for specifically
mechanical repairs such as this one). The best astrological advice for
having repair work (or any service) done during a Mars retrograde period
is to attempt to obtain the strongest/longest guarantee/warrantee for any
parts used and/or services rendered. In this case, a warrantee which
extends beyond October 28th would be advised since Mars will not turn
direct until then. Similarly, if you rent a car while yours is in the
shop, don't even think of doing without the optional insurance coverage.

To Marcia - re .25 and .31:
I was reading the entries, came to .25, and thought very strongly
about contacting you to find out more about this aspect of my natal
chart...and its relevance to events as they are occurring to me
now. Several times I began to send a notes reply, or a mail message,
but something else got in the way.
Today I read .31, with its title, and decided that the message,
or part of it, had gone out on the cosmic airwaves anyway, since
part of your answer makes definite sense for me!
Thanks for picking up, consciously or otherwise

Astrology Watch Highlights:
--------------------------
The new moon on 11September in Virgo (Mutable,Earth) provides an opportunity
to clean up all the little things that have been creeping around the edge of
your life. Virgo relates to the 6th activities of work, service, attention
to health/hygiene, extreme attention to detail, house-cleaning, etc.
The solar eclipse which accompanies this new moon will accentuate the effects
of the start of this moon cycle, and may numb our emotions to job and health
issues. Virgo is ruled by Mercury, which influences our thinking patterns.
Virgo is an earth sign, however, so the thoughts are applied in a much more
logical and practical form than the potentially scattered thoughts and
communications associated with the air sign Gemini (which is also ruled by
Mercury). As a mutable sign Virgo influences are adaptable, but can become
very critical and nit-picky. A great deal of practical work can be done
during this Virgo moon cycle.
The planet Venus is very active in the first quarter of this moon cycle.
On 12Sept Venus in Leo sextiles Jupiter in Gemini. This could lead to
over-indulgences or, more specifically with Venus in Leo, over-extravagance.
This over-extravagance may definitely be fun, so enjoy it, but keep an eye
on your pocketbook (unless you can afford to blow a bit of money ;-$ ).
On 15Sept Venus trines Mars (which is still retrograde) which signifies the
potential for some very stimulating amorous encounters. (Maybe this will be
with the same person you were extravagant with on the 12th ;-}.) While this
sounds pretty good so far, as was mentioned in the previous astrology watch
about Mars retrograde and relationships, if this is the first amorous encounter
in a relationship, then the relationship my be very brief, and possibly end
with some aggression/anger involved. If you want a new relationship to last,
then you might consider holding off on the bedtime antics until the end of
October when Mars turns direct (and you can dress up in your Halloween birthday
suit ;-P). Finally, on 17Sept Venus squares Pluto in Scorpio. At this time
you may feel the pinch of past over-expenditures. This aspect also evokes
strong emotions and profound sexual overtones, and could dramatically reform
some of your emotional attachments (eg. by signifying the end of the mythical
fling started on the 12th).
On 18Sept Neptune at 07Cap turns direct. This indicates that things which
have been hidden for some time may now become openly known. Also, the psychic
character of Neptune suggests the initiation of a new wave of individual
psychic development.
Also on 18Sept, the Sun at 26Vir squares Saturn at 26Sag. On this same day,
it turns out that the Moon squares the Sun (1st � moon), and the Moon conjuncts
both Saturn and Uranus. On the next day, 19Sept, the Sun at 27Vir squares
Saturn at 27Sag. These potentially difficult aspects involving the Sun, Moon,
Saturn and Uranus indicate a potent push-pull Saturn-Uranus effect involving
conflict between work issues (Sun in Virgo; 6th house issues) and plans for
long trips or studious yet more carefree attitudes (Moon, Saturn, Uranus in
Sagittarius; 9th house issues). Extra discipline, inconvenient trips, or less
favorable responsibilities may be imposed at work (Saturn) conflicting with
impulses to break free from current responsibilities into more exciting areas
(Uranus). Our internal reactive emotions (Moon) will have a more direct
intuitive sense of this push-pull conflict (conjunction aspect) and may hold
the key to resolving the conflicts (square aspect) experienced at work (Virgo)
by our outer proactive persona (Sun). Luckily all of these aspects occur in
mutable (earth and fire) signs. Thus people have an opportunity to adapt to
difficult situations and to resolve these potential conflicts through a
process of internal reconciliation.
On 20Sept, Mars retrograde at 07Ari squares Neptune at 07Cap. This aspect
indicates confusion about directing aggressiveness or anger, and with Mars
retrograde the problems of ill-conceived agression will be compounded. Try
to count to 10 before responding in anger because it may be difficult to
control the effects of the anger once expressed, and it will probably only
make your situation worse. This aspect can be used as an opportunity to look
inside yourself to identify the roots of anger. This instrospective exercise
will be vastly more productive than anger. This aspect could also expose some
health (or mechanical) problems which may be difficult to diagnose. On a more
global note, this aspect could indicate international nautical aggressions or
mishaps, possibly involving undersea vessels and explosions or fires.
On 22Sept, the Sun will transition from Virgo to Libra. This will signify
the entrance into the active (cardinal) initiating portion of the fall season.
This day is also called the Autumnal Equinox, and is a day when daytime hours
equal nighttime hours (12) all over the world. The Libra emphasis will
redirect our efforts towards relationships (Libra is the natural 7th house of
complementary partners). Libra is also associated with balance in all forms.
This is not a static balancing act, however, but a very dynamic oscillation
which always has as its goal a balanced equilibrium. Libra is also considered
to be very indecisive, since both sides of an issue are weighed, and thus an
oscillation between available choices may ensue. Also, Libra energy is very
communicative, but may tend to give up more of one's self integrity than
should be given in order to please someone else. However, this is still an
excellent time to work on your relationships.
The following chart highlights this sun-sign transition.
Virgo Libra
---------- ----------
Duality Feminine Masculine
Element Earth Air
Quality Mutable Cardinal
Planet Mercury Venus
Keyword 'I Analyze' 'I Balance'
Polarity Pisces Aries
Body Parts Nerves,guts lower back, buttucks
Animals Domestic pets Snakes, lizards
On 24Sept Jupiter at 06Gem turns retrograde until 20Jan89. This indicates a
tempering and internalizing of expansive tendencies, especially relating to
communications and short trips (Gemini, 3rd house). It may be that the
expansion is recast as 'broadening' instead of 'advancing'. It has less
effect than the retrograde motion of the more inner planets, and in any case
since Jupiter is considered a benefic planet it rarely introduces significantly
negative effects.
On 25Sept the Sun at 03Lib opposes the Moon at 03Ari to initiate a very wild
full moon period. Immediately following the full moon the Moon conjuncts
Mars which is retrograde at 06Ari, and two days later (27Sept the Sun opposes
Mars. These aspects occur in cardinal air and fire signs so watch out for
some extremely combustible encounters. During this period it is advised to
avoid fighting, to avoid extensive travel, and to be extremely careful with
all combustible materials (and be sure to turn your iron off!). These aspects
may intensify the already pervasive fires which may be attributable to Mars
retrograde in Aries. Anyone who has watched the news lately has seen the
uncontrollable fires raging throughout the USA forests, dramatic explosive
aircraft accidents, burning buildings (saw a church burn last night, attributed
to a carelessly used blowtorch), accidents from careless discharge of firearms,
and other firey events. So .. replenish both your physical and emotional fire
extinguishers right now in preparation for this most fire-filled of full moons.
Relationships may also suffer from insensitive 'me-first' attitudes during this
full moon. These attitudes could extend on a more global scale to produce
international conflicts.
It is fascinating that this day (25Sept) was chosen for the first presidential
debate. The candidates have unwittingly (unless they share Nancy's astrology
contacts :-}) selected the most emotionally aggressive day of the entire
pre-election period for this initial confrontation. Both candidates may find
it very hard to contain their tempers, and indications suggest that one of
them may suffer heavily either from public disclosure of some shady dealings,
or public loss of temper, or both. Whoever may fall victim to these tendencies
will have a very hard time explaining his way out of his predicament later,
since Mercury goes retrograde very soon after the debate.
The full moon craziness finally gets some relief on 27Sept when the moon
enters Taurus (fixed earth), imparting a calmer and more stable attitude.
Additional help is on the way on 28Sept the Sun at 06Lib trines Jupiter at
06Gem. People may be more generous now, which will help to soften the full
moon episode, and will provide an excellent opportunity to apologize for any
full moon excesses which may have been attributable to you.
On 28Sept Mercury at 27Lib turns retrograde until 20Oct. The effects actually
start a couple of days before this (~26Sept), and with both Mercury and Mars
retrograde at the same time, and in opposite cardinal signs, the combined
effects become like a double-whammy on the workings of mechanical things.
Mercury retrograde indicates a confusion and misdirection of communication
energies which suggests the need for introspection instead of extroversion.
Mercury retrograde can lead to blatant misunderstandings and communication
breakdowns on all levels, as well as inevitable delays and mechanical failures.
So to make the best of this period .. keep a low profile, be cautious with
communications and keep them very simple, don't assume that anyone accurately
understands what you say, avoid initiating major new projects or they may
never come to fruition, avoid signing major contracts, and learn to accept
delays with a smile.
On 30Sept the Sun at 07Lib squares Neptune at 07Cap. This aspect could
inspire some to creative expression, and may instill psychic content into
relationships, yet may also create delusional thinking with respect to any
practical or factual reality orientation.
The end of this moon cycle see Venus (in lovable Leo) as the most active
planetary influence, as at the beginning of the cycle. On 1Oct Mercury
sextiles Venus, and Venus trines both Saturn and Uranus. The Mercury sextile
facilitates communication in love relationships, yet since Mercury is now
retrograde the flow of communications is not very smooth, but may still be
romantic. The trine to Saturn may add stability to both your lover and friend
relationships, possibly at the expense of added responsibilities; while at
the same time the trine to Uranus may add some unexpected excitement (again
the push-pull of Saturn-Uranus, but this time it may be fun).
On 4Sept Venus enters Virgo. During this transit it is the practical things
like a clean house, a clean body, and even a clean mind which will give you
the most pleasure. Venus in Virgo can become overly picky and dry, and is
not particularly free or happy. This is not the best position for Venus and
it initiates internal struggles between such dichotomies as duty (Virgo) versus
love (Venus), and facts (Virgo) versus feelings (Venus). This placement is
extremely good for tasks which require attention to minute details. The work
environment itself may prove more satisfying for people during this transit.
On 9Sept Venus at 5Vir squares Jupiter retrograde at 5Gem. This indicates
some potentially unwise over-expenditures, but it is not a very harsh aspect.
Finally, on 10Sept Venus at 7Vir trines Neptune at 7Cap. This could provide
an excellent opportunity for the practical application of creative urges and
psychic exploration, and could also impart a magical or fated quality to love
relationships.
That's it for this installment. The next new moon is in Libra on 10October.
Until then ... keep your Astrology Watch calendar handy, and ..
watch to see if anyone gets 'mooned' during the presidential debate :'}.

Astrology Watch Highlights:
--------------------------
The new moon on 10October in Libra (Cardinal,Air) provides an opportunity to
mend relationships which may have become imbalanced. Libra relates to the
7th house concerns of relationships, partners, compromise and balance.
Libra is ruled by Venus, which relates to our expressions of love.
Libra is an air sign, however, so love is expressed through ideas and
communications, as opposed to more earthy and hedonistic love expressions
associated with the fixed earth sign Taurus (which is also ruled by Venus).
As a cardinal sign Libra energies actively engage in a balancing act which
results in a dynamic equilibrium as opposed to a static steady-state.
Libra energy can quickly identify fair compromises, yet Libra imparts an urge
to please and so may give away too much of 'self' in order to keep the peace.
While the new moon is usually considered a good time to initiate new projects
(eg. new relationships when the new moon is in Libra), this particular new
moon is overpowered by having both Mercury and Mars in retrograde motion.
These inauspicious transits indicate that newly formed relationships are
likely to have very short half-lifes. Thus, the advice for this new moon in
Libra is to capitalize on the introspective nature of retrograde Mercury and
Mars to initiate an inner search for how your own ideas (Mercury) and desires
(Mars) affect your *existing* relationships (Libra), and to use any insights
gained from this self-understanding to bring your current relationships into
balance. You can experiment with new ideas and attitudes now, but wait until
Mercury is direct (20Oct+) to implement any significant changes. You should
be willing to compromise, but don't give your 'self' away in the bargain.
The new moon period starts out on a harmonious note with Venus at 07Vir trine
Neptune at 07Cap on 10Oct. This aspect brings harmony, artistic creativity,
a longing for spiritual goals and inspirational love. Venus in Virgo will
tend to direct this creativity towards the pursuit of practical needs.
On 11Oct, the Sun conjuncts Mercury at 18Lib which makes for a talkative and
social day where people entertain Libran thoughts of union, peace, joining
forces, beauty and aesthetics. Mercury is still retrograde, however, so don't
expect people to understand exactly what you mean by what you say, but on this
day any misunderstandings are likely to err on the light and peaceful side.
On 14Oct, Venus at 11Vir sextiles Pluto at 11Sco indicating potential for
exploring the depths of your relationships, as well as strong sexual feelings.
Venus is reserved and a bit lily-white in Virgo, yet Pluto in its home sign
of Scorpio is powerful and can break through many faint-hearted reservations.
On 18Oct, Saturn conjuncts Uranus at 27Sag. This is the aspect which was
identified in Note 862.0 as "Heart Link 88" because this significant alignment
of planetary energies also occurs on the exact degree (27Sag) which identifies
the center ("Heart Center") of the Milky Way galaxy. I will summarize some of
that discussion here, but please see Notes 862.0,.3,.6,.10 for more details.
Uranus is associated with progressive collective ideas and is expressed
through individual uniqueness (or eccentricity), novel or insightful ideas,
and unexpected changes or disruptions which may erupt at any time. Uranus
disruptions are often initially deemed harmful, yet they inevitably result in
more individual freedom, and are often understood in retrospect as changes
required for continued growth.
Saturn enforces structure and imposes boundaries. Saturn is a relentless
disciplinarian, forcing people to face their fears and accept thier
responsibilities. Feelings of guilt are strongly associated with Saturn.
Few people "enjoy" Saturn aspects/transits, yet these hold the events which
impart independence, strength of character, values, and maturity.
Sagittarius (natural 9th house, ruled by Jupiter) is associated with
expansiveness, individual freedom, higher learning, philosophy, organizations
(eg. religions) and ideologies. The galactic center at 27Sag is considered
to exude enlightened information of a spiritual nature to those who are
prepared to perceive it.
The Saturn/Uranus conjunction at 27Sag imparts an urgency to structure or
organize (Saturn) novel (Uranus) and enlightening (galactic center) ideas to
provide a framework for understanding them in unique ways and disseminating
them to others. This energy could bring abrupt changes which disrupt or
redirect (Uranus) our current responsibilities (Saturn) or impose additional
responsibilities upon us. Saturn conjunct Uranus often results in a conflict
of principles, and release of tension. Often this is expressed as breaking
away from burdens, and letting go of those things which are holding you back,
and often what is holding you back is a fear of change.
As summed up by Marcia Butchart in Note 862.10, this aspect challenges us
to radically and courageously spread enlightening information (see that note
for more tips on spreading this enlightened information. One key bit of
advice is not to pre-format the inspiration into a form currently known to
you, but allow it to establish its own form.
This Saturn conjunct Uranus aspect has been influencing us off and on for
a year or so, and its direct effects will take at least a couple of months to
wane, yet this day identifies the peak of its influence. This aspect occurs
approximately every 42-45 years (next time 2032) and usually involves several
alternating direct and retrograde conjunction encounters. Saturn and Uranus
have aligned twice during the past year, but this is the final conjunction
for this Saturn/Uranus cycle, and so culminates the old and originates the new
cycle. The alignment of this significant aspect with the galactic center is
obviously extremely rare (within one degree approx once every 1000 years).
Actions taken and ideas engendered in the next several months will have
extremely long-range impact, both personally and globally.
On 20Oct the Sun at 27Lib sextiles both Uranus and Saturn at 27Sag.
The Sun-Uranus sextile may bring some mild relief from recent tensions, and
encourage the redirection of your energies into new areas. The Sun-Saturn
sextile may relax some overly structured restrictions which have been imposed
upon you and allow your ego/personality (Sun) to feel more stabilized.
Also on 20Oct Mercury is standing direct at 11Lib. While this is *nearly*
the time to celebrate the end of any Mercury retrograde difficulties, it
actually takes a couple of days for Mercury to reestablish forward motion;
so you should really consider it in direct motion only on about 23Oct.
In any case, the new starting point (station) for Mercury is in Libra, which
indicates that relationships will be emphasized in our thoughts, and ideas will
tend to encourage us to do anything for peace. Mercury is very communicative
in Mercury, but while people may be somewhat forthright and direct with their
communications, they may have difficulties in making decisions or being
definite about their commitments.
On 23Oct, the Sun will transition from Libra to Scorpio. This will signify
the entrance into the stable (fixed) portion of the fall season. The Scorpio
emphasis will redirect our efforts towards the 8th house concerns of sex,
death (with rebirth), and other people's money. One apt descriptive phrase
for the fixed water sign Scorpio is "Still waters run deep".
The following chart highlights this sun-sign transition.

Duality Masculine Feminine

Keyword 'I Balance' 'I Desire'
Polarity Aries Taurus
Body Parts Lower back Genitals
Animals Snakes, lizards Insects, crustaceans
Also on 23Oct Mars enters Pisces in retrograde motion for a very brief stay
until it subsequently goes direct and then transits back into Aries on 1Nov.
Mars in Pisces is less forceful and much less aggressive that Mars in Aries,
and may lead people to feel overly tired or possibly a bit ill. When any
planet changes signs it indicates some temporary confusion in those areas
associated with the planet, and Mars changing signs (especially retrograde)
may bring confused and misplaced displays of agression. People have to shift
gears a bit with the expression of their desires since with Mars in Aries
people can be tolerant of very direct statements or even attacks (in jest or
otherwise) while with Mars in Pisces people may become offended or morose
even if just 'kidded' in the wrong way. Obviously Mars in Pisces is a very
sensitive placement, and with Mars still retrograde these sensitivities will
be heightened.
On 25Oct the full Moon shines down on us from 02Tau with the Sun at 02Sco.
With a combination of the fixed earth sign (Taurus) and the fixed water sign
(Scorpio) this is an especially intense full moon period. People are likely
to be very stubborn in both practical and emotional concerns. Strong sensual
overtones are indicated along with expressions of hedonism and gluttony
(doesn't sound all that bad, does it? ;-}). Try to break any stalemates of
stubbornness by bending a bit, but if the other person doesn't bend back then
defer the issue until a more favorable time. Don't lock horns today or both
sides could end up bearing some rather deep scars.
You may have noticed some very short void-of-course (v/c) Moon periods at the
end of October, and into November. This is a result of Venus (in Virgo/Earth),
Mars (in Pisces/Water), Saturn and Uranus (in Sag../Fire) all located at 28 or
29 degrees of sign, and thus aspecting the Moon just before the Moon moves into
a new sign. The shorter v/c Moon periods are generally favorable since there
is less of a 'window of vulnerability' for making unwise decisions/purchases,
yet v/c Moon periods also often give us a chance to 'unwind' from the usual
course of events, so the short v/c periods may lead us to feel relentlessly
'driven' unless we formulate plans for getting relief and adequate rest.
Venus and Mars will both move on to new signs soon, but Saturn and Uranus
will continue to provide reduced v/c Moon periods for over a month (but only
when the Moon is in signs which form major aspects to Sagittarius).
On 28Oct Mars will be standing direct at 29Pis. As with Mercury retrograde,
this event will take a few days before manifesting the effects of Mars direct.
When it does, it signifies a sort of 'coming out' of our desire nature from
retrograde introspection to direct action, and relief from the foul-ups of
misdirected agression. We can expect that frustrations which may have built
up for some time may now be expressed in some steamy (Pisces) ways. Actually,
while steamy releases may not be ideal, Mars' brief excursion back into Pisces
may soften the transition of Mars from retrograde to direct much more than if
Mars was still at its most powerful and aggressive position in Aries.
Also on 28Oct, Venus at 28Vir squares both Uranus and Saturn at 28Sag.
The Uranus square indicates that people will want excitement (Uranus/Sag)
in their love lives (Venus) and/or their work environments (Venus in Virgo).
However, people may exhibit some erratic or bizarre behaviors (Uranus) in
search of this excitement, and may wake up the next day without being able
to return to their previous love life and/or workplace. The Uranus desire
to 'break free' makes this a likely time for breakups of relationships (Venus),
or quitting of jobs (Virgo). During this period these actions would be based
upon impulse instead of upon considered opinions, and so are not advised, yet
any sharp changes are likely to be seen in retrospect as being required to
open up a broader range of more satisfying opportunities. The Saturn square
comprises the 'pull' in the 'push/pull' of the familiar Uranus/Saturn aspect
pairs, where while Uranus is saying 'break free' Saturn is saying 'you better
not'. This Saturn aspect can actually impose heavy responsibility in the form
of drudgery at work, or can suggest extreme frustration over the behavior of
loved ones. Be very careful not to project your own Saturnian fears/guilts
onto your loved ones (or coworkers) during this time, and do not lose touch
with them by becoming too distant. This time is definitely good for facing
your fears and problems head-on (because you will be unable to ignore them)
and trying to determine some longer range solutions to your problems of
dissatisfaction at home and/or at work.
On 29Oct, Venus at 29Vir opposes Mars at 29Pis indicating a conflict between
our expressions of love (Venus) or work (Venus in Virgo) and our expressions
of desire or aggression (Mars). Here we must attempt to rise above the
apparent conflict to recognize the complementary nature of these expressions,
and thus provide a balance between our love and anger. Venus expressions are
likely to be overly concerned with housework, purity, and nit-picky details,
while Mars expressions are likely to be oversensitive and easily offended.
Try not to harp on your mate about the hundreds of little things that you
think they should be, but haven't been, doing around the house since that could
incite problems more serious than dirty laundry ;-}. Give 'em a break. Aspects
of Venus/Mars do also imply physical attractions so make love and don't fight.
Later on 29Oct, Venus enters Libra until 23Nov. Libra is ruled by Venus, so
feelings of love are easily and clearly expressed during this transit. Venus
in Libra is happy, peace-loving, friendly, social, appreciative of beauty,
and preoccupied with relationships of all types. Have fun and enjoy yourself!
On 30Oct, the Sun at 07Sco sextiles Neptune at 07Cap. This indicates a mild
enhancement of psychic or metaphysical energies, and can be a very creative
period for artistic endeavors. There is potential for dissipation of energies
or for mild illnesses which may be difficult to diagnose, so don't overextend
yourself and keep an eye on your health.
Also on 30Oct, the semi-annual time-warp will be upon us here as Daylight
Savings ends. So, if you happen to be in an unwarped time zone then adjust
your Astrology Watch time conversions from EDT to EST. If you are warped
like us then turn your clocks back an hour .. or you risk getting to work late,
or getting out of sync with the fascinating heavenly influences described here.
It is a personal matter as to which risk weighs more heavily on your mind ;'}.
On 01Nov the two most benefic planets meet in the most harmonious aspect as
Venus at 03Lib trines Jupiter at 03Gem. Our loving nature and sense of beauty
(Venus), with special attention on relationships (Libra), is expanded (Jupiter)
through communications (Gemini). This is a very social and friendly aspect,
and while it is rather mild, it can be extremely pleasurable. Plan to do
something fun today! A short trip (Gemini) may be enjoyable.
Also on 01Nov Mars re-enters Aries following its brief one-week dip back into
Pisces. This can cause confusion about the sources or expressions of our
aggression during the sign transition, yet Mars rules Aries and is much more
virile in Aries than in Pisces so we should pick up the new ways of expressing
our desires quickly ('quick' is the Aries way). Just be careful during this
sign transition since Mars in Aries can indicate accidents with fire or sharp
pointed objects.
On 04Nov the Sun conjuncts Pluto at 12Sco. This indicates that tendencies
of reform (Pluto) will impact our personality and energy level (Sun). Pluto
effects are associated with the demolition and subsequent rebuilding of various
forms of structure (death/rebirth) where only the most durable portions of the
original structure survive to form the seed of the next phase of development.
The lesson of Pluto involves not clinging to the structures of the past, but
letting the obsolete portions fall away to be replaced by a new order. Pluto
is associated with revolutions, and when conjunct with the Sun it can indicate
some revolutions of personality. This aspect can also indicate problems with
attempts to force people to conform or reform their ways, so try to let other
people find their own way instead of trying to force your own way upon them.
Sun conjunct Pluto in Scorpio also opens up some of the deepest and most
sensual emotional feelings which may indicate sexual aberration if misused,
but may also be expressed as the most profound sexual connection where the
physical feelings are elevated by true feelings of destiny and fate.
On 05Nov Venus at 08Lib squares Neptune at 08Cap. Venus and Neptune hold a
certain affinity for each other so the square may not be as severe as some
other Venus squares. Neptune, in the (over)practical sign of Capricorn, will
bring confusion or delusion into the Venus concerns with relationships (Libra).
It can be a period of great psychic or creative energy, yet it is rather
difficult to utilize this energy in its positive form due to the square.
Try to avoid confrontations which are likely to dissipate all of your energy.
Also on 05Nov Mercury at 28Lib sextiles both Uranus and Saturn at 28Sag.
The Mercury-Uranus sextile indicates a free-thinking attitude, and with Uranus
still close to the 'galactic center' your ideas may be of an enlightened
nature. The Mercury-Saturn sextile may help to organize those novel ideas
into patterns, yet don't over-structure the insightful Uranian ideas or they
will lose their inspiring quality.
On 06Nov Mercury enters Scorpio for a stay until 26Nov. Mercury in Scorpio
can make people's communications seem very emotionally deep and profound.
People can also become very tenacious and unrelenting during this transit,
and with Pluto currently in Scorpio (and thus Mercury soon to conjunct Pluto)
people may try to forcefully rebuild the lives of others. Obviously you should
try to avoid any involvement in this stuff, and rather try to utilize the
sturdy emotional attitudes to provide support for yourself or others who are
trying to rebuild their *own* lives.
That's it for this installment. Sorry that it is a bit dry (as determined
by the count of happy faces :-}) but with both Mercury and Mars retrograde we
have been a bit lucky to get it completed in a semi-coherent form at all!
Anyway... the next new moon is in Scorpio on 9November.
Until then ... keep your Astrology Watch calendar handy, and .. make a copy
for your friends! Everyone could use a bit of reassurance during this
multi-retrograde period that they are not the only ones who are working twice
as hard and getting half as much done ;-}.

Astrology Watch Highlights
--------------------------
The new moon on 9November in Scorpio (fixed water) provides an opportunity
to rebuild and stabilize your emotions. Scorpio is ruled by Pluto (reform,
rebirth) and relates to the 8th house concerns of sex, death with rebirth, and
other people's money. As a fixed sign, Scorpio energies are stable yet often
stubborn and relentless, and thus as a water sign it is associated with the
most persistent and tenacious emotions. As with other water signs (Cancer,
Pisces) Scorpio energies can be sensitive to insult, however the negative form
of reaction does not manifest as depression (Cancer) or insecurity (Pisces)
but rather may be harbored and expressed as fuming, resentment, or possibly
malevolence. Scorpio is associated with the genitals and imparts strong
sensual/sexual overtones. Psychic faculties are also sensitized in Scorpio.
Since Pluto is transiting through Scorpio now, all Scorpio/Pluto effects will
be heightened during this moon cycle. The way to maximize your growth during
this new moon cycle is to avoid clinging to your emotional baggage, and allow
Pluto energies to destroy all unnecessary emotional attachments of the past.
Then like the Phoenix of ancient mythology you can rise from the ashes with
those emotions which survived the Pluto reforms to establish a fresh and new
emotional basis for your life. Problems will arise only if you fight against
Pluto's natural process of winnowing out obsolete emotional attachments.
Notice that both Mercury and Mars turned direct during the last moon cycle
and thus start out this cycle in direct motion. Hurray!;-}! Both planets are
beginning to pick up speed, and we will now be able to resume forward progress
in many areas of our life. Now is the time to initiate new projects or to sign
binding contracts (Mercury); or to start up new physical relationships which
are intended to last or to make major mechanical purchases (Mars). Much
internal stress and frustration will be relieved as both planets approach full
speed ahead. Real-estate purchases should be deferred, however, until Jupiter
also turns direct. Also at the start of this moon cycle, the conjunction of
Saturn and Uranus in Sagittarius, which has been mentioned many times, is past
the final exact alignment point (still within the orb of influence however),
and thus the effects of this aspect will gradually begin to wane in influence.
On 11Nov Mercury at 08Sco sextiles Neptune at 08Cap. This aspect may instill
intuitive awareness and cleverness of mind. Insights may stem from emotions
(Scorpio) and may apply to issues at work (Capricorn). People are likely to
be more compassionate and empathetic (so maybe this is a good time to ask for
a raise ;-}).
On 12Nov Saturn enters Capricorn (cardinal earth) which is ruled by Saturn
and is related to 10th house issues of career and prestige. Saturn identifies
our sense of responsibility and discipline and is associated with restrictions
of all kinds (not fun). Saturn is at home in Capricorn and is characterized
by a very practical and sober attitude with a focus upon the construction of
sturdy foundations of all kinds (physical, emotional, spiritual, etc.), and
concern over money and prestige. Saturn takes about 2� years to transit
through each sign, and during the transit through Capricorn people may accept
many additional responsibilities at work, and probably take them more
seriously. The Capricorn mentality can endure great sacrifices in order to
move ahead. You can envision this as a mountain goat's (the symbol of
Capricorn) trek up a bleak and rocky road of success. Caring and compassion
for others must be recognized, however, or the success will end up being as
unfulfilling as the road which led there.
On 14Nov Mercury at 13Sco conjuncts Pluto at 13Sco. This can cause people
to express emotional communications (Mercury in Scorpio) which attempt to
forcefully reform or remake (Pluto) the lives of others. If force is used
then force will be returned, and the fixed character of Scorpio can lead to
impasses of stubbornness while Pluto energies may be expressed as rebellion.
The positive expression of this aspect can provide deep insights and encourage
the destruction of stale thinking patterns and habits in favor of new ways of
thinking and true personal reform. Attempt to teach any lessons by using
subtlety instead of force, or better yet, apply the lessons to yourself first
since it is likely that the things you cannot accept in others are precisely
those things which you have seen but are unable to accept in yourself.
On 15Nov Mars at 02Ari sextiles Jupiter at 02Gem. On this day try to expand
(Jupiter) the use of your talents in order to satisfy your desires (Mars).
You may find that luck is with you (Jupiter) if you expend the effort to try
(you might want to buy your annual lottery ticket on this day ;-}).
On 21Nov, the Sun will transition from Scorpio to Sagittarius. This will
signify the entrance into the mutable (adaptable) portion of the fall season.
The Sagittarian emphasis will redirect our efforts towards the 9th house
concerns of philosophy, higher learning, religion, long trips, exploration,
and a laissez-faire attitude. Sagittarian energy is aptly characterized as
a care-free and happy wanderer. The Sun's entrance into Sagittarius (ruled
by Jupiter) will certainly lighten up most people's hearts following a
deeply emotional excursion through Scorpio.
The following chart highlights this sun-sign transition.

On 22Nov, the Sun at 01Sag opposes Jupiter at 01Gem. On this day you should
beware of spending too much money on purely ego-gratifying pursuits. The
effects of this opposition are hard to resist (so maybe you can afford to
pamper yourself just a little bit ;-}) but if unchecked, this energy can
result in a wasted day of extravagance and exaggeration. A characteristic
pattern might be to overextend your finances to keep up with the Jones' in
some way, and then to brag about your new acquisitions. Tomorrow, you will
feel the money crunch and be more than a bit remorseful. Hopefully you will
still be able to return the purchases before a collection agency shows up ;'}.
Also on 22Nov Venus at 29Lib begins two days of heightened activity by first
sextiling Uranus at 29Sag, then entering Scorpio on 23Nov, and finally
sextiling Saturn at 01Cap on 24Nov. The Venus-Uranus sextile indicates an
attraction to novel ideas (Uranus) and a free-thinking attitude (Sagittarius).
The Venus sign change will be accompanied by confusion about love interests.
People will be changing from a congenial and communicative concern with
relationships (Libra) to a deep and intense emotional concern with sex, death
and rebirth (Scorpio/8th-house/Pluto). Venus in Scorpio provides an
opportunity to stabilize relationships through deep emotions. Venus in Scorpio
can be relentless and unyielding, so this can be a very difficult time to break
off a relationship. Psychic sensitivities are heightened, and can be utilized
effectively for self-improvement. Strong feelings of destiny and fate may be
associated with relationships at this time. Infatuation with sex and death
can be transcended through considerations of the regenerative aspects of the
death/rebirth cycle. The old must die to make way for the new.
The Venus sextile with Saturn will lower the Uranus free-thinking attitude
back down to mundane earthly concerns forcing reconsideration of any Uranian
disruptions you may have allowed into your love life. This can also provide
stability, however, so one possible scenario for these Venus aspects suggests
that you could meet someone exciting on 22Nov (Venus sextile Uranus), form a
deep emotional (and intensely physical;'}) bond on 23Nov (Venus enter Scorpio),
and then stabilize the relationship into a more long-lasting one on 24Nov
(Venus sextile Saturn). This aspect may also indicate new career opportunities
(Capricorn) with potential for success. This cluster of Venus activity
coincides with the full moon in Gem/Sag on 23Nov which, while not directly
aspecting Venus, will contribute energy, insights, and frenetic activity to
the Venus aspects.
On 25Nov Mercury enters Sagittarius until 14Dec. This will activate our
mental and communication faculties with 9th house (Sag) activites such as long
distance travel, philosophical inquiry, pursuit of higher education, religion,
and free-thinking attitudes. This raises our minds from deep Scorpio emotions
into lofty idealistic realms (which are a heck of a lot less stressful ;'}).
Later on the same day, Mercury at 00Sag opposes Jupiter at 00Gem. This aspect
indicates a period of very expansive thinking which is probably too wish
oriented. You may have many ideas on this day (about such things as pillaging
shopping malls or real-estate investment schemes), but it is a pretty sure bet
that you don't have a pocketbook to match. You may find this aspect to be
especially conducive to brainstorming of new ideas on a variety of subjects,
yet you must be careful to clearly distinguish fastasy from (your own) reality.
On 26Nov the Sun at 05Sag trines Mars at 05Ari. This aspect indicates very
smooth-flowing energies which provide a high physical activity level which
could be applied to exercise, recreation, or manual work. Since both the Sun
and Mars are in Fire signs things could become heated and aggressive, yet it
is more likely to be expressed in a joking and mostly agreeable way. Rapid
progress may be possible on a variety of projects today. Two days later on
28Nov Mercury forms the same Mars trine from the same position (05Sag). The
effects of this aspect complement the now active body with an equally active
mind which will be able to get points across easily and quickly. Similarly,
agressive communications may ensue, but are likely to be resolved smoothly.
On 30Nov Jupiter enters Taurus (fixed earth) while in retrograde motion.
The retrograde motion suggests a more introspective grappling with issues of
expansiveness or generosity, and as Jupiter backs up we may uncover prior
manifestations of Jupiter's benevolence which did not work out as we had
planned and thus have to be undone and/or recast into a new form. Jupiter in
Taurus is closely associated with expansion of possesions, especially additions
on to existing homes or real-estate purchases. While Jupiter in Taurus is an
excellent time to buy a new home, such purchases are not recommended until
Jupiter turns direct in Taurus in Jan '89.
Also on 30Nov Venus at 08Sco sextiles Neptune at 08Cap. This aspect enhances
creativity which may aptly be expressed through redecorating. There is an
attraction to paranormal disciplines of all kinds, and psychic sensitivities
are heightened. Creativity may be revealed through daydreaming, yet too much
daydreaming can dissipate energies and lead to disorientation.
On 1Dec the Sun at 09Sag conjuncts Mercury at 09Sag. Due to the continual
close proximity of the Sun and Mercury, the conjunction is the only aspect
ever to occur between them. The conjunctions alternate between direct and
retrograde Mercury motion. The direct motion conjunction (like this one) is
more favorable, and identifies a period where mental and intellectual energies
are at their height, and where quick minds can be very attentive to details.
In Sagittarius this mental energy is likely to be expressed through religious
or philosophical inquiries. Short trips (Mercury) are indicated, or maybe
even longer more exploratory travels (Sagittarius).
On 4Dec Venus at 13Sco conjuncts Pluto at 13Sco. This aspect is much like
the Mercury-Pluto conjunction on 14Nov, yet instead of showing primary effects
on communications and learning (Mercury), this time it is expressed through
love interests (Venus). This can cause people to attempt to use emotional
manipulation (Scorpio) to forcefully reform or remake (Pluto) the lives of
their loved ones (Venus). Remember that Pluto rules Scorpio and is therefore
at its strongest during its current transit of Scorpio. Also, recheck the
indications of Venus in Scorpio listed above (on 23Nov) to see the potential
trouble that is brewing for this aspect. The lesson of Pluto is to destroy
unnecessary love attachments, and thus form the core of a new set of values
about love and/or beauty. Obviously, this is rarely seen in a positive light
while it is happening, but may seem beneficial in retrospect. The negative
expression of this aspect may involve attempts at domination (Pluto) involving
abnormal or aberrant sexual demands (Venus, Scorpio). In its most enlightened
expression, this aspect can indicate fated or pre-destined (Pluto) love
relationships accompanied by profound emotional interplay and intense sexual
contact. One key to achieving the more positive expressions of this aspect
is to refrain from forcing or extracting any sort of love commitments from
anyone. This aspect will most strongly affect people who have the Sun,
Venus, or other natal planets at 12-14 degrees of any fixed sign. The birth
dates for which the Sun falls at those positions are: November 4-6 (Scorpio),
February 2-4 (Aquarius), May 2-4 (Taurus) or August 4-6 (Leo).
On 7Dec Mars at 09Ari squares Neptune at 09Cap. This aspect indicates
confusion (Neptune) about desires, goals, directions, and the expenditure of
vital forces (Mars). It can indicate laziness and procrastination, and can
result in a rapid dissipation of energies. Illness may be indicated, and may
be difficult to diagnose.
That's it for this installment. Please keep in mind that the astrological
aspects are described here in their most generic form. In order to accurately
interpret which areas of your life would be primarily affected by these aspects
they must be mapped into the houses your natal chart, and compared against
your natal planetary positions.
The next new moon is in Sagittarius on 9December.
Until then ... keeping the stars in mind will keep them on *your* side ;-}.

| Todd & Lisa:
I found your astrology watch a couple of months ago. It is fabulous.
Keep up the teriffic work.
I was curious about something in this months, tho. Why does there
seem to be such a large "gap" in the highlights between Nov 15-21?
I see from the moonthly calendar the moon is moving through signs
but not much else......
Thanks for any info you can give me on this!

| 672.42 | The Aspect Gap | ISTG::DOLLIVER | Happily out of the 'mainstream'. | Fri Nov 11 1988 15:16 | 74 |
| re -1; Vicki,
There is no particular reason (or maybe too many reasons to count ;-}) as to
why there are no planetary aspects or sign transitions from the period between
November 15th through November 21st. I guess I could say that it was the
planetary luck of the draw, so to speak. The composite pattern of all of
the planetary cycles just happens to have a gap of activity there. Just part
of the master pattern, I suppose.
However, there are a couple of specific contributing factors and other general
characteristics of the Astrology Watch which could help to explain this gap.
1. The Astrology Watch only lists Moon aspects with the Sun. Since each
~month the Moon transits around the entire zodiac. it forms every aspect
with every other celestial body. This is simply too much information
to transcribe for each Watch, although we may begin to indicate a few
relevant Moon aspects when they contribute to the interpretation of
other aspects. There are several Moon aspects during the gap period.
2. The Astrology Watch considers only what are called 'major' aspects
including conjunction (0 degrees), sextile (60), square (90), trine
(120) and opposition (180). There are many other 'minor' aspects which
may have influences yet are not indicated in the Watch, including
semi-sextile (30), inconjunct (150), semi-square (45), quintile (72),
nonagen (40), etc... While the allowable orb of influence for these
'minor' aspects is less than the 'major' aspects (ie. the aspect must
be more exact to have effects), many people would convincingly argue
that aspects such as inconjunct (150) should be considered 'major'
aspects. If other aspects were considered in the Astrology Watch,
additional aspects would be listed during this gap period. We may
start including a few inconjunct aspects in future Astrology Watches
when the effects are strongly indicated.
Also notice that the 'major' aspects are unequally distributed; where
sixty degrees separate conjunctions from sextiles, or trines from
oppositions, only thirty degrees separate sextiles from squares or
squares from trines. This means that there will be longer delays
between 'major' aspects during times when planets are conjunct or
opposed, and shorter delays when planets are closer to the square
aspect. This factor contributes only a small bit to the November gap
period, but it is something to keep in mind to explain other gaps.
3. In general, planets make fewer aspects when they are moving slowly
than when they are moving more quickly. This factor does have a
noticable effect during the November gap since we can identify several
planets which are currently moving relatively slowly. Saturn, Uranus,
Mars and Mercury have all recently transitioned from retrograde to
direct motion, and thus are not yet approaching their maximum transiting
speed (Mercury is now picking up speed fast though). Jupiter is now
approaching the end of its retrograde period and is thus moving
progressively slower and slower. Uranus, Neptune and Pluto never move
very fast, of course, since their orbital period is so long. This
is probably the major reason why there are fewer aspects during this
moon cycle than most cycles, and why most of the remaining aspects
involve the Sun, Venus or Mercury.
The astrological significance of these periods which are devoid of major
aspects or sign transitions is simply that there are unlikely to be major
turning points or acute shifts of energies during those times. Rather, they
are periods when we are likely to coast along under prior influences. We may
have opportunities to resolve lingering effects of waning aspects, or to
prepare ourselves for future challenges, or simply to rest and recuperate.
It is obvious that you are 'Watching closely ;-}. Don't hesitate to ask
other questions about things that you may not understand. Also, by the way,
Lisa and I don't have any monopoly on 'correct' astrological interpretations.
We provide a mix of a rather standard keyword-type approach (because this
seems to be the easiest way to teach and learn the basic interpretations)
along with certain insights acquired through reading and personal experience.
If anyone else has comments on particular aspects which may clarify or extend
particular interpretations, please feel free to post them here.
Keep 'Watching,
Todd

| 672.43 | "Thank you, Todd!" | HARPO::NIXON | SEX PISTOL..!! | Fri Nov 11 1988 18:36 | 18 |
| Todd,
Thank you so much for the information!! It is greatly appreciated.
I am still very much the novice when it comes to astrology....one
of those people who didn't realize the sort of influences the planets
actually have on our lives until a couple of years ago!! Silly me. ;^)
I find that I am learning a lot by looking back at the past
months watch and comparing it to what actually happened in my life.
I write a lot of things in a notebook and it helps me "see" what
has been going on.
This month looks like it is going to be very interesting for
me!! And finally looking up!!!
I'll keep 'watching'

Todd,
I have discovered this topic a few months ago and I find it very
interesting.
I have a question on 2 aspects that are not described in my books
:
the inconjunct and the quintile.
How would you describe the effect of these aspects, i.e. are they
mainly positive or negative and how do they manifest themselves.
Thanks for your reply and also for the calendar watch!

| 672.45 | Overview of Astrological Aspects | ISTG::DOLLIVER | Happily out of the 'mainstream'. | Fri Nov 18 1988 11:29 | 252 |
| Before providing interpretations for any specific aspect, I have decided
to reply with an overview of ALL astrological aspects. There are probably a
few aspects listed here that even the most ardent astrology buff has never
heard of ;-}. Much of the specific information on particular aspects and
aspect sets was gathered from "Predictive Astrology: Understanding Transits
as the Key to the Future" by Frances Sakoian and Louis Acker.
Regarding the interpretations for inconjunct and quintile aspects requested
by Beatrice in .44, I will focus on the inconjunct aspect (150 degrees) in a
subsequent reply, and I am hoping that the description of the quintile(72)
provided below may be sufficient.
By convention, aspects are considered to provide effects 'to' the faster
moving (inner) planet of the pair with effects 'from' the slower moving (outer)
planet. Aspects can be either APPLYING (before exact), EXACT, or WANING (aka.
separating .. after exact). When an aspect is applying, the tendencies or
trends which it indicates are becoming more powerful. The aspect is moving
towards its completion and building up to a decisive event or circumstance.
Waning aspects are generally less important than applying aspects because they
represent an influence which is decreasing.
Each aspect has two different manifestations called DEPARTING or APPROACHING.
Departing aspects are post-conjunction (eg. the moon's 1st � square with Sun)
and relate to effects exemplified by the 1st through 6th houses (0 - 180 deg).
Approaching aspects are pre-conjunction (eg. the moon's 3rd � square with Sun)
and embody effects associated with the 7th through 12th houses (180-360 deg).
In the table of aspects presented below, the relevant house is listed for both
the departing (dep) and approaching (app) form of each aspect, which can
provide additional insights for interpretation. Also, the houses directly
correspond to the natural signs occupying those houses (ie. 1=Aries, 2=Taurus,
3=Gemini, 4=Cancer, 5=Leo, 6=Virgo, 7=Libra, 8=Scorpio, 9=Sagittarius,
10=Capricorn, 11=Aquarius, 12=Pisces), and the rulers of those signs, etc.
Aspects are grouped in sets based upon fractional portions of a 360 degree
circle (<=1/2) having a common divisor (eg. 1/5=72 and 2/5=144 comprise the
5-based aspects). Certain sets overlap (eg. 1/4=2/8=90) and are thus related.
In general, aspects based on lower divisors are stronger and more noticable.
While the distinction is not hard and fast, the aspects can be separated
into three classes: MAJOR, INTERMEDIATE, and MINOR. MAJOR aspects include
the conjunction(0), the opposition(1/2=180), the trine(1/3=120), the square
(1/4=90) and the sextile(1/6=60). INTERMEDIATE aspects include the semisextile
(1/12=30), the semisquare(1/8=45), the sesquiquadrate(3/8=135), and the
inconjunct(5/12=150). All remaining aspects are considered MINOR aspects,
and are understood in the context of the set of aspects which share common
fractional divisors as listed below.
septile 1/7 = 51.4
biseptile 2/7 = 102.8
triseptile 3/7 = 154.2
The 7-based aspects may be favorable or unfavorable, and have a subtle occult
significance which introduces an element of randomness and unpredictability
which recur in similar but never identical ways. These aspects also confer
originality and intuitive ability, and can bring important and irrevocable
changes in personal destiny.
semisquare 1/8 = 45
square 2/8 = 90 = 1/4
sesquiquadrate 3/8 = 135
The 4 and 8-based aspects are generally unfavorable and are often associated
with frustrations, impediments and difficulties.
nonagen 1/9 = 40 (aka. nonagon)
binonagen(?) 2/9 = 80
trine 3/9 = 120 = 1/3
quadranonagen(?) 4/9 = 160
Other than the trine (3-based), the 9-based aspects have had relatively
little research other than the assignment of great importance to them and to
the nine-pointed figure which is constructed from them (called an eneagram) by
G.I.Gurdjieff. These aspects have primarily occult significance, with strong
harmonic implications. They confer the ability to understand the working
relationship between affairs of a similar nature which exist on different
planes or levels of manifestation. These aspects are suspected of being
related to inter-dimensional transformations.
vigintile 1/20 = 18
decile 1/10 = 36
quintile 2/10 = 72 = 1/5
tridecile 3/10 = 108
biquintile 4/10 = 144 = 2/5
The 5 and 10-based aspects include the same angles which are found in the
pentagram or five-pointed star, a symbol of humanity's will and mastery over
the four elements. It represents the refined synthesis of the elements.
These aspects are generally favorable and can indicate special talents and
unusual abilities allowing synthesis of diverse situations in purposeful ways.
semisextile 1/12 = 30
sextile 2/12 = 60 = 1/6
square 3/12 = 90 = 1/4
trine 4/12 = 120 = 1/3
inconjunct 5/12 = 150 (aka. quincunx)
The division of a circle into twelve parts appears in the division of the
zodiac into twelve signs, as well as the segmentation of a natal chart into
twelve houses. The 12-based aspects include all major aspects, and thus
demonstrate all extremes of favorability and unfavorability. The semisextile
involves supportive accumulation of resources and is considered to be mildly
favorable, while the inconjunct is related to inconvenient situations beyond
conscious control and is considered (sometimes more than) mildly unfavorable.
The inconjunct is a deceptive aspect because there is a conscious assumption
of well-being, yet unconsious conflicts may lie just below the surface.
All aspects have an allowable tolerance of exactness which is called the
ORB for that aspect. While this implies that the effects of an aspect turn
on and off sharply at the exact boundary of the orb, the actual effects are
gradual. The orb is intended to indicate when the aspect could introduce
noticable effects, but for other reasons an aspect falling within a specified
orb may have less impact than another aspect which may be just outside the orb.
For example, major aspects will have stronger effects if they are 'in sign'
(eg. square between two cardinal signs, or two fixed signs) than 'out of sign'.
There is a different set of (larger) orbs associated with natal aspects versus
transiting aspects. While no two astrologers seem to use precisely the same
orbs for all aspects, and some cases may warrant use of larger orbs, the
following orbs are fairly characteristic.
Natal Orbs Major aspects: 6 degrees (+3 if Sun,Moon,Asc)
---------- Intermediate aspects: 3 degrees (+2 if Sun,Moon,Asc)
Minor aspects: 2 degrees (except vigintile=1)
Transiting Orbs Major aspects: 1 degrees (+1 if Sun,Moon,Asc)
--------------- Intermediate aspects: � degree (+� if Sun,Moon,Asc)
Minor aspects: � degree
(A bit of synchronicity trivia: on a telephone the word ORB corresponds to
the number 672, which is the topic number of the Astrology Watch :-})
The following table summarizes each aspect by indicating the number of degrees
indicating the aspect, its name and classification (major,intermediate,minor),
favorability, approaching and departing house indicators (remember to also
consider natural signs/rulers of those houses), and a brief description of
related influences. While unfavorable aspects may be transmuted into favorable
effects through awareness and will, some aspects are generally more benefic
than others. Aspects are marked as favorable (F), mildly favorable (f),
questionably favorable (?f), questionably unfavorable (?u), mildly unfavorable
(u), unfavorable (U), or unpredictable (?).

Well .. there they are .. all of the aspects you would ever need to know!
Now, don't go right out and throw your current natal interpretations away in
favor of all of these new minor aspect interpretations :-}. Instead, use the
minor aspects (remember the much tighter orbs) to enhance and embellish your
current major aspect understanding, and to isolate, identify and explain
natal aspects, transits or progressions which may introduce some specific
strain or provide some unique opportunities.
Todd
PS. If someone is really ambitious, they could try to isolate the effects
of the overlooked 11-based aspects ;-}. Since I have never seen any
mention of these at all, there is noone who could say you're wrong :-b.

| 672.46 | The Elusive Inconjunct Aspect | ISTG::DOLLIVER | Happily out of the 'mainstream'. | Tue Nov 22 1988 16:15 | 85 |
| Aspect: Inconjunct (aka. Quincunx)
Arc: 150 degrees (5/12 of a circle)
Aspect Type: Intermediate (between Major and Minor)
Natal Orb: 3 degrees (+2 if Sun, Moon or Ascendant)
Transiting Orb: � degree (+� if Sun, Moon or Ascendant)
Favorability: unfavorable (mildly .. or more)
Departing effects: house: 6th sign: Virgo planet: Mercury
Approaching effects: house: 8th sign: Scorpio planet(s): Pluto/Mars
Interpretations:
The inconjunct aspect is not usually as noticable as the Major aspects, yet
for precisely this reason it can be more difficult to effectively resolve.
One reason that the effects of the inconjunct aspect are not so obvious is
that certain subconscious difficulties which identify the issues needing to be
resolved are accompanied by conscious assumptions of well-being. There is
a disharmony which the conscious mind does not (choose to) grasp, but instead
the conscious mind assumes that an uplifting integration of forces is possible
and is just around the corner. Often a problem is thought to be taken care of,
yet an effective solution continually slips out of grasp.
The inconjunct is an aspect of false hopes and aspirations, and of forms of
expression which are slightly "off the mark". The inconjunct aspect is
associated with inconvenient situations which seem beyond conscious control,
and sudden unexpected changes brought on by subconscious conflicts which may
erupt at any time. It is most often accompanied by some pressure and strain.
One interesting feature of the inconjunct aspect is that it links two signs
or houses which have no affinity for each other by element (Fire,Earth,Air,
Water) or by quality (Cardinal,Fixed,Mutable). In other words, the influences
operating through each planet are essentially unrelated. For example, departing
inconjunct aspects to a planet in Aries (Cardinal, Fire, 1st house) are formed
from planets in Virgo (Mutable, Earth, 6th house, 150 degs), while approaching
aspects are formed from Scorpio (Fixed, Water, 8th house, 210 degs).
The sixth house is associated with obligations which are fulfilled for
personal satisfaction. A departing inconjunct aspect is associated with sixth
house concerns, yet involves attempts to become free from obligations by
performing services for others. This can relieve the burden of subsonscious
guilt for past inaction or transgressions. The natural sixth house sign Virgo
is ruled by Mercury, and thus communications are highlighted with inconjuncts.
The eight house is associated with obligations which are fulfilled for the
benefit of others. An approaching inconjunct aspect is associated with eighth
house concerns, and often indicates an opportunity to prevent additional
liabilites from accumulating by sacrificing personal desires and offering all
available resources for the benefit of others. The natural eighth house sign
Scorpio is ruled by Pluto (w/co-ruler Mars). An inconjunct aspect can thus
indicate areas requiring personal reforms, can be accompanied by poor health
(or death), and often involves resolving side-effects produced by aggression.
The intervening seventh house sign of Libra is thought to hold the key for
solving the problems encountered during inconjunct aspects. To effectively
resolve an inconjunct aspect requires understanding and compromise (Libra
positive traits). Sharing and giving are considered as the most effective
resolutions, yet often there is an attempt to overdo and give too many
concessions (Libra negative traits) in order to make up for subconscious guilt
or lack of self-esteem. However, through an inconjunct one can gain approval
for accomplishments based upon motivation to serve rather than to be served.
The above interpretations were derived in part from:
"Planets in Aspect: Understanding your Inner Dynamics",
by Robert Pelletier (Para Research)
"Predictive Astrology: Understanding Transits as the Key to the Future",
by Frances Sakoian and Louis Acker (NE School of Astrology)
The inconjunct aspect is one of the most interesting aspects to me since its
effects are often difficult to characterize, to discern, and to resolve. An
appearance of well-being can certainly be a powerful disincentive to a deeper
investigation of subconscious problems indicated by an inconjunct aspect ;-}.
The influences of inconjunct aspects are often overlooked or dismissed as
being secondary effects. This attitude may be justified for fleeting aspects
between transiting planets (or maybe I'm copping-out for not including them in
the Astrology Watch ..yet ;-}). However, for natal charts, along with transits
and progressions applied to natal charts (especially from the slower-moving
outer planets), inconjunct aspects can provide a crucial key to help understand
why certain talents or situations which you consider to be working smoothly
together in your life may have never produced a scrap of benefit for you.

| I haven't kept up with this file for quite a while, but
found this note to be interesting. This fall has seemed to be a
completely irritating period for me, starting sometime in late July
until about Halloween. A lady backed into my car door on the
"infamous" full moon of Sept 25, and that day must have been the
worst day of the year for me. Lately, however, things have turned
around quite nicely. The accident which was so obnoxious in Sept
turned out to be a net positive in the end because my car was fixed
recently at no cost due to the insurance money, and the damage was
such that I got several annoying rust areas and dents fixed for
free. It's interesting to note that things looked pretty obnoxious
for the past several months of the 'Watch'. At least it seems
that it wasn't just me.
Keep up the interesting 'Watch' reports...

| A few more words, from personal experience and observation, to add
to Todd's info on aspects, especially the inconjunct.
One thing I have noted is that people whose charts are heavy with
them are the most considerate, helpful, organized people I know.
They are sensitive to nuances of situations, they remember details,
having perhaps been gifted from birth with the knowledge that things
are not always what they seem, and that situations require careful
analysis and perceptiveness before effective service can be offered.
The folks I know whose charts contain lots of inconjuncts are also
effective "gardeners", people who know that it's not occasional acts
of heroism or derring-do that resolve long-standing problems, but
patient, persistent application of caring effort. I cherish these
people, because I have seen more things die for lack of "gardening"
than from outright disaster.
Transiting inconjuncts can be another matter altogether, especially
if one's natal chart does not contain any. Any transiting aspect
that is not in one's natal chart represents a new way of experiencing
the energies of the planets involved, and it's like doing it for
the first time. My own experience of my transiting inconjuncts is
that it's like having something positioned in the "blind spot" in
one's visual field. The energy (or facet of the Self, if you will)
is there, but is not distinctly "visible". When I focus fully on
the expression of one planetary facet of the Self, the other facet
represented by the other inconjunct planet is effectively "unseen".
There can be this uneasy sense of the "invisible" facet of the Self,
of something forgotten or not done, with the attendant frustration
that comes of not being able to keep both facets "in sight"; the
"unseen" facet of the Self, if ignored, can take you by surprise.
I feel it is these factors that can give rise to a transiting
inconjunct's negative manifestations of accident-proneness or illness
(both of which I have experienced from time to time when mis-managing
my own transits).
One of the ways I have learned to manage inconjuncts is to deliberately
*not* take route of trying for full, conscious awareness and unified
application of both facets of Self. I have found this to be exhausting
and ineffective. What I now train myself to do instead is to learn
to operate *without* keeping both facets "in sight", much the same way
a blind person develops other senses to compensate for a lack of sight,
or that one automatically knows (feels) the reach of one's arm.
I have some physical experience with this tactic, because I am so
myopic as to be virtually blind without glasses; in the days before
contacts were made so my eyes could tolerate them, I was also an
active dancer and performer. I always went on stage "blind",
and was amazed at how swiftly I acquired intangible skills that
enabled me to navigate, even to sustain audience contact, without
precise vision. When grappling at first with managing inconjunct
transits, I decided to try applying this physical tactic to the
mental/emotional/psychic/whatever realms also. It takes practice,
but I'm learning. :-)

| re .49; Marcia,
Thanks for sharing your insightful comments and experiences with both natal
and transiting inconjunct aspects. It will certainly help provide insights
for my own understanding of the inconjunct aspect in action. I would also
like to highlight your comments which suggest that some difficulties inherent
in the natal inconjunct aspects can later be reflected as apparently positive
traits such as being considerate, helpful, organized, sensitive to nuances,
'gardening', etc...
This brings up an excellent point which is often overlooked, and which can be
applied to other astrological aspects. For example, some typically 'negative'
square or opposition aspects may lead a person to develop the self-control and
insights required to reconcile conflicting influences. Also, some typically
'positive' trine or conjunction aspects may cause things to flow so easily in
certain areas of life that the individual may become lazy or spoiled.
For this reason, it is insufficient to think of natal aspects as entirely
'good' or 'bad'. I hope people will keep this in mind when exploring their
own natal charts. As we all know, without a few 'difficult' aspects we never
would have developed the *character* that we all have now ;-}.
Anyway, it just reinforces the position that it's not what you're born with,
but what you do with it, which is of the greatest value.

Astrology Watch Highlights
--------------------------
The new moon on 9December in Sagittarius (mutable fire) provides us with
opportunities to explore the world around us, and in the process, to expand
our own personal philosophies. Sagittarius is ruled by Jupiter (expansion)
and relates to the 9th house concerns of philosophy, higher learning, long
trips, and exploration. As a mutable sign, Sagittarian energies are flexible,
and are characterized by a care-free laissez-faire attitude. As with other
fire signs (Aries, Leo) Sagittarian energies are associated with dynamic and
fast-moving activities, and can seem insensitive to the feelings of those who
are moving a bit more slowly. Sagittarian expressions can often appear to
be out-of-control, and eccentric actions may be undertaken for their shock
value alone .. usually all in fun. During this Moon cycle don't ask someone
for their opinion about something unless you really want to know, because the
Sagittarian "who cares what anyone else thinks" attitude could yield some very
blunt and eye-opening responses. The way to maximize your growth during this
new moon cycle is to lighten up your attitude and freely explore new fields
which you find interesting and emotionally rewarding.
This moon cycle has an optimistic beginning with the Sun, Moon, and Mercury
all in fun-loving Sagittarius, indicating carefree and mentally stimulating
thoughts. This can also indicate interest in foreign affairs, and may provide
some new and expansive concepts relating to world peace. Pursue your holiday
partying with a passion now ;-}, before the more somber Capricorn influences
begin to dominate by the end of December. As more planets transit into
Capricorn, individuals become more aware of their own sense of structure and of
their ego concerns. People are likely to place more emphasis on work including
acceptance of added responsibilities and more concern for long-range planning.
On 14Dec Mercury enters Capricorn for a stay until January 2nd, and later in
the day conjuncts Uranus. Mercury in Capricorn (cardinal earth) redirects
our minds towards more practical, serious and even somber topics with an
emphasis upon work-related ambitions. Thinking processes will become more
structured and organized, and communications become more guarded and cautious.
A great deal of practical, productive, detailed work can be accomplished.
The Uranus conjunction brings sparks of original and unique ideas, with some
possible irritation from reacting too quickly. In Capricorn the stimulating
ideas are likely to apply to practical or career issues.
On 15Dec Venus at 28Sco opposes Jupiter at 28Tau (retrograde). Since both
planets are considered to be benefic this opposition aspect is only slightly
troublesome, and may in fact be rather enjoyable. The opposition indicates
some impractical expansiveness, in this case an expansion of deeply emotional
expressions (Scorpio) concerning love and beauty (Venus). You may "have to"
buy that "perfect" and "beautiful" gift for a loved one, even though it costs
about twice what you wanted to spend. You may want to leave your checkbook
and charge cards at home today ;-}.
On 16Dec Mercury at 04Cap conjuncts with Saturn. As if we needed to add more
seriousness to our thinking patterns :-{. Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn
and will accentuate the structured and practical thinking patterns associated
with Mercury in Capricorn. This enhances our control over our consious thought
patterns and favors tasks requiring organization and great attention to detail.
Additional responsibilities may be imposed through communications.
By the way, if you direct your gaze into the early evening sky on 16Dec you
will see a celestial display as the Moon approaches conjunction with Mars.
Also, on 19Dec a bit later in the evening you will see another luminous display
as the Moon approaches conjunction with Jupiter. Enjoy the celestial show ;-}.
On 17Dec Venus enters Sagittarius for a stay until 10Jan. This should
lighten up peoples hearts, and may indicate a breaking away from emotional
attachments (Scorpio) into freer areas of expression (Sagittarius). People
are likely to be adventurous, and to enjoy their friendships, hobbies, travel,
and higher education.
On 20Dec Mercury conjuncts Neptune at 09Cap. This can lead to creative,
dreamy, romantic, and artistic thoughts which may have a tendency to become
confused or deluded. Many psychic insights can enter your conscious mind,
yet these influences must be controlled and discriminated or confusion will
predominate. In Capricorn, this orderly control of ideas is more likely.
On 21Dec, the Sun will transition from Sagittarius (mutable fire) to Capricorn
(cardinal earth). This is called the Winter Solstice and constitutes the first
day of Winter and the day which had the least sun-light of the year (for the
Northern hemisphere). It also signifies the entrance into the cardinal
(active, initiating) portion of the winter season. The Capricorn emphasis
will redirect our efforts towards the 10th house concerns of career, status
and prestige. Capricorn energy focuses upon the construction of sturdy
foundations of all kinds (physical, emotional, spiritual, etc.), and can
provide a required base for the emotional family-related expressions of its
opposite/complementary sign Cancer.
The Sun's entrance into Capricorn (ruled by Saturn) will certainly bring a
more serious and sober attitude to people after the lighter expressions of
Sagittarius. Capricorn energies can endure great sacrifices to move ahead in
a career. Caring and compassion for others must be developed, however, or the
outward success will end up being as empty and unfulfilling as the sacrifices
which led there. The following chart highlights this sun-sign transition.

Element Fire Earth
Quality Mutable Cardinal
Planet Jupiter Saturn
Keyword 'I See' 'I Use'
Polarity Gemini Cancer
Body Parts Liver, Thighs Bones, Joints

On 22Dec the Sun conjuncts Uranus at 01Cap. This aspect brings an interest
in shaking off old routines today. There is an exciting inner drive to be
different, and it is a good time to break stale habits. This aspect imparts
personal magnetism and eccentricity, and can indicate implementation of
practical innovations at work.
On 23Dec, Mercury at 14Cap sextile Pluto at 14Sco. This aspect promotes an
inquisitive mind and a search for deep truths and solutions to world problems.
Avoiding stubbornness will allow more insights to be assimilated.
On 24Dec Mercury at 16Cap squares Mars at 16Ari. This can introduce some
touchy challenges in communications, and small disagreements over practical
ideas may erupt into arguments. The aggressiveness of the Mars in Aries
"blow it up" attitude conflicts with Capricorn inflexibility and practicality.
Since this is on the heels of a full moon, there is more potential for fights.
Try to keep get into the Holiday spirit and let any disagreements ride for now.
In the wee hours of the morning on 23Dec the Moon at 02Can opposes the Sun
at 02Cap representing a very emotional full moon. For a day or so before and
a day or two after this time the full-moon frenzy is sure to make the stores
a literal mad-house of emotionally crazed shoppers. This is not difficult to
predict about Christmas shopping, of course ;-}, but this year the last few
shopping days may be even more emotionally charged than in other years. It
would be wise to finish your shopping before this full-moon hits. The Moon
will remain in Cancer until early Christmas morning, indicating extreme
sensitivity and possibly an overindulgence of food and drink. So if you don't
want to be the "Blimp who stole Christmas" you may want to take it a bit easy
on the pre-Christmas festivities ;-}. This all sets up for the Moon entering
Leo on Christmas day, which should contribute to generous, jovial dispositions
and friendly thoughts on Christmas day. Have a Happy Holidays !! ;-}} !!
Speaking of Christmas shopping, no astrological guide would be complete
without instructions for how to avoid the void-of-course Moon periods leading
up to Christmas. There seems to always be *something* amiss with gifts which
are bought while the Moon is void-of-course. The gifts may be poorly made,
may be broken, may not fit properly, may not be of an appropriate style, may
require return for some other reason, may end up being left unused, or may be
much more expensive than the same item at other stores. The effects are not
always serious, yet are always unpredictable, and such gifts are rarely a good
investment. Small gifts may not warrant such consideration, but you should
*avoid* the following pre-Christmas void-of-course Moon periods if possible
when shopping for those special gifts.
Tues December 20th from 12:45pm to 4:48pm EST
Wed December 21st all night after 7:32pm EST
Thurs December 22nd all day until 9:38pm EST
On 26Dec the Sun conjuncts Saturn at 05Cap. This will lead people to think
more seriously about their life's direction, and will elevate the perceived
importance of ego and self-interest. People may accept many additional
responsibilities at work, and will probably take them more seriously. So, if
you are a manager then assign long-range tasks to subordinates right after
Christmas; and if you *are* a subordinate (like me) then take a vacation ;-}.
On 31Dec the Sun conjuncts Neptune at 10Cap. This will stimulate imagination
and provide inspiring insights through dreaming. In fact, you may feel in a
sort of dream world for much of the day. It can also indicate escapism through
overindulgence in drinking or drugs, but since it is New Year's Eve, a bit of
that is probably appropriate ;-}. Seriously though, be extra careful driving
tonight since some drivers may not just be drunk, they may be in another world.
Also on New Year's Eve, Mercury at 27Cap trines Jupiter (retrograde) at 27Tau.
Peoples ideas tend to be generous and expansive, and it makes for a generally
enjoyable party atmosphere (with a few over-exaggerated stories and all).
Enjoy the evening, and have a Happy New Year !!!
On 2Jan Mercury enters Aquarius (fixed air) for a stay until 28Jan when it
returns into Capricorn by retrograde motion (tune in to the next Watch for
details). Mercury in Aquarius emphasizes communications with friends and
group activities, and can impart stable, clear, and innovative ideas.
On 4Jan Venus at 22Sag trines Mars at 22Ari. This aspect indicates an
opportunity to put your values and beliefs into action. With both planets in
fire signs 'action' is the key word, and you should get up and DO something
to capitalize on the positive energies flowing today. This is also a terrific
time for romantic activities of all kinds. If you are a bit daring romantically
today there is a good chance that it may work out well for *both* of you ;-}.
Later on 4Jan the Sun at 15Cap sextiles Plu at 15Sco. This can indicate
creative changes and smooth reforms either personally or within community
groups, and can add a bit more intensity to the romantic interests as well.
That's it for this installment.
The next new moon is in Capricorn on 7January 1989.
Until then ... enjoy the holidays, and make a New Year's resolution to
master the stars and not to let them master you ;-}.

Hi everyone! Back from Florida...wonderful time!
Managed to attend the 1989 Lazaris session while down there, and
hope to write more on that later on, however just wanted to mention
here that Lazaris also spoke of the three weeks beginning on Jan
4th to be a time of action and to sow seeds of things that you want
to have blossom in the year ahead.
So now would be a good time to make a list, check it twice and
prioritize it. Then go about doing something about the items on
the list starting Jan. 4th...though of course now is also as good
a time as any...but the energy will be best around that time. They
can be small things - no need to try and tackle the entire world's
problems in one fell swoop, but even one _little_ project will make
a difference.
Lazaris also mentioned that it was most likely going to be a
difficult year and that our spirits might tend to become low,
so if you see your neighbor struggling and becoming frustrated,
lend a helping hand, an ear, a shoulder, or whatever, and know
that by working together, we will be able to get through it.
More in a bit.

Astrology Watch Highlights
--------------------------
The new moon on 7January in Capricorn (cardinal earth) provides us with
opportunities to construct a solid concrete foundation upon which to erect
the physical, emotional, and spiritual structures of our lives. Capricorn
is ruled by Saturn (restriction) and relates to the 10th house concerns of
career, prestige, ambition, and status. As a cardinal sign, Capricorn
energies are active, and are characterized by workaholic tendencies and more
serious and sober attitudes. With Capricorn energies, individuals become
more aware of their own sense of structure and of their ego concerns. People
are likely to place more emphasis on work, including acceptance of added
responsibilities and more concern for long-range planning.
Capricorn energies can endure great sacrifices for career ambitions, but they
can often ignore the personal compassion and caring which makes life worth
living. As with other earth signs (Taurus, Virgo) Capricorn energies are
associated with practical, rational, and generally down-to-earth activities,
which may seem overly constrained to some of the freer energies of the zodiac.
The way to maximize your growth during this new moon cycle is to pay attention
to job related issues, and to strengthen your professional and business
foundations. However, retain an awareness of the qualities of the opposing
sign Cancer by remaining sensitive to home and family issues, and thus embrace
both sides of the dichotomy between conscious will and tangible success
(Capricorn) versus unconsious mind and intangible feelings (Cancer).
On 10Jan Venus enters Capricorn for a stay until 3Feb. Capricorn is not a
particularly jovial placement for Venus, and can indicate a need for material
status and wealth to achieve emotional security. Passion is often suppressed
and people could adopt a rather reclusive attitude. Luckily Venus is moving
rapidly through Capricorn, yet it will conjunct Uranus, Saturn, and Neptune
before completing the transit. This could make for a dramatic restructuring
of your love life or of the things that you place the most value upon. Try
to resist the temptation to sink into pessimism, and concentrate on creating
a solid foundation upon which to develop your future romantic involvements
and value orientations.
Also on 10Jan the Moon is at the perigee (or closest point) of its orbit
around the earth. This makes for more strongly felt emotions during this
part of the Moons cycle, and can be thought of as "emotional high tide".
On 15Jan Mercury at 12Aqu turns retrograde until 5Feb. The effects actually
start a couple of days before this (~13Jan), when the functioning of mechanical
devices is likely to begin to degrade dramatically. Mercury retrograde
indicates a confusion and misdirection of communication energies which suggests
the need for introspection instead of extroversion. Mercury retrograde can
lead to blatant misunderstandings and communication breakdowns on all levels,
as well as inevitable delays and mechanical failures. So to make the best of
this period .. keep a low profile, be cautious with communications and keep
them very simple, don't ever assume that anyone accurately understands what
you say the first time, avoid initiating major new projects since they may
never come to fruition, avoid signing major contracts, and learn to accept
delays with a smile and a wink ;-}. Paradoxically, those with Mercury
retrograde in their natal charts may enjoy a relative communication advantage
during this period. These retrograde periods can be times when they are able
to explain most clearly and be understood, or it may be one of the few times
that they say anything at all.
On 16Jan the Sun at 26Cap trines Jupiter at 26Tau. This could indicate
lucrative financial opportunities, possibly through real-estate. This
aspect will impart a self-assurance and general feelings of well-being.
You might find that you are lucky today (especially if these placements
aspect your natal chart), so maybe today is the day to try your luck at
that lottery number you have been dreaming of ;-}.
Also on 16Jan, Venus conjuncts Saturn at 07Cap. Saturn is the ruler of
Capricorn and will accentuate the structured and practical beliefs and values
associated with Venus in Capricorn. This enhances our control over emotional
attachments yet may lead to social introversion. Activities requiring
organization and attention to detail are favored. Additional responsibilities
may be imposed through love relationships. Resist emotional coldness, over-
concern with property and material goods, and marriages made for money or
status. This aspect yields down-to-earth practical approaches to problems at
work, and imparts a sense of justice and fair play regarding work issues.
On 19Jan Mars enters Taurus for a stay until 11Mar following its lengthy stay
in Aries. People may notice a slow-down of all activities since Mars in Aries
was quite a firecracker, but Mars in Taurus becomes much more stable and can
plod steadfastly and stubbornly towards some longer range goals. This sign
transition exemplifies the two characters in the classic story of the tortoise
(Mars in Taurus) and the hare (Mars in Aries).
Also on 19Jan, Venus conjuncts Neptune at 10Cap. This can lead to creative,
dreamy, romantic, and artistic expressions of love which may have a tendency
to become confused or deluded. Venus and Neptune have a certain affinity
for each other and many psychic insights may arise concerning relationships
or values. However, these influences must be controlled and discriminated
or confusion may predominate. Art and music are heavily favored, yet in
Capricorn this is likely to be expressed through a strong sense of composition
and structure. Neptune imparts Piscean qualities of spiritual love and
insightful perception, thus enabling a deep and far reaching capacity for
emotional rapport.
Later on 19Jan, the Sun will transition from Capricorn (cardinal earth) to
Aquarius (fixed air). This signifies the entrance into the fixed (stable)
portion of the winter season. The Aquarius emphasis will redirect our efforts
towards the 11th house concerns of groups, social work, and worthy causes.
Aquarius is ruled by Uranus which contributes erratic, ingenious, and
revolutionary influences, with an emphasis on science, high technology, or
astrology. Aquarian energy is also perceptive, detached, and impersonal, and
can provide a required intellectual base for the leadership expressions of
its opposite/complementary sign Leo.
The Sun's entrance into Aquarius (ruled by Uranus) will bring a more detached
and intellectual attitude to people after the heavier expressions of Capricorn.
People may become more emotionally involved with work or causes than with
people, and so may become married to their job rather than their wife during
this time. In any case, Aquarian energy invariably attempts to idealize the
human condition, denying personal foibles and being generally impersonal,
yet pursuing social and humanitarian issues and group goals. Aquarian energy
feels much more compassion for idealistic concerns of 'humanity' than for the
concerns of actual individual humans who are inevitably not so ideal. The
following chart highlights this sun-sign transition.

On 20Jan the Sun at 01Aqu squares Mars at 01Tau. This aspect indicates
that restraint of our aggressions is needed, but that it may be difficult to
achieve. Events may happen quickly and catch us off guard. Since the aspect
occurs in fixed signs, stubbornness may contribute to impasses leading to
anger. Beware of accidents and pay close attention while driving. Try not
to let your aggressiveness be your own worst enemy. Obstacles to your self-
expression can generate frustration and anger, which could then be compounded
by a tendency to hold grudges. Try to let your anger go. If you don't, it
is likely that you will end up biting your own tail .. hard! If you can
regulate this aggression, you can enjoy invigorating energy and willpower.
Also on 20Jan Jupiter at 26Tau goes direct. Jupiter has been retrograde
since 24Sep88, and will take several days to log any forward progress, but
this does signify the beginning of a new phase of expansion. With Jupiter
in Taurus, this expansion is likely to be expressed through accumulation of
material posessions, even to the point of hoarding. This is an especially
good time to buy real-estate, or to put an addition on your existing home.
Jupiter will remain in Taurus until 11Mar, so you still have time to apply
for that mortgage ;-}.
On 21Jan the full moon is exact with the Sun in Aquarius and the Moon in Leo.
Since this full moon occurs in fixed signs, it is likely to accentuate the
stubborness in people, which can make it more difficult to resolve the
internal/external dichotomy presented by the Sun/Moon opposition. Since this
is the peak of the Capricorn Moon cycle, it is possible that conflicts will
present themselves in the work environment, or concerning career issues.
This full moon highlights the conflict between personal ego pursuits versus
allowing yourself to get lost in a group. People are likely to feel a need
for extra attention or pampering during this time.
On 22Jan Mercury retrograde at 15Cap sextiles Pluto at 15Sco. This aspect
indicates that a fairly smooth reforming influence can be brought to bear
through intellect and communication. However, since Mercury is retrograde
these communications are likely to be misconstrued. Therefore, you may have
good luck influencing people or affecting prevailing conditions if you are
subtle and keep your message simple, yet you may provoke resistance or
resentment if you become forceful or your message becomes confusing.
Since Mercury is in Capricorn, the conditions are likely to be work-related.
This aspect can confer keen mental penetration allowing for understanding
of the internal causes and energies behind the outward structure of things.
On 24Jan Mars at 03Tau trines Uranus at 03Cap. This aspect can indicate
innovative or erratic actions, or unforeseen breakthroughs in scientific
endeavors. Also, this aspect is exemplified by stubborn willpower, courage,
unique accomplishments, and nervous energies. Maybe this is your day to
be a hero ;-}.
Also on 24Jan the Sun at 05Aqu conjuncts Mercury retrograde at 05Aqu. This
aspect indicates a sharp mind and strong mental energy, and can also indicate
that short trips are enjoyed. In Aquarius, the mental powers may be directed
towards innovative high-technology or humanitarian goals. The fixed mental
character of Aquarius is likely to indicate that no one will be able to
convince you that your idea is anything but a work of genius. Of course since
Mercury is retrograde your ideas may not be quite so hot as you think they are.
This aspect can also hinder your objectivity in self-analysis and can distort
your discrimination of mind versus ego.
On 25Jan Mercury retrograde at 04Aqu squares Mars at 04Tau. This aspect can
lead to touchy and challenging communications. With both planets in fixed
signs and Mercury retrograde these challenges may be quite difficult to
resolve. Try not to argue with anyone today because you just won't get
through to them clearly. Strive for patience, diplomacy, and tact.
On 28Jan Mercury retrograde enters Capricorn. Mercury in Capricorn (cardinal
earth) redirects our minds towards more practical, serious and even somber
topics with an emphasis upon work-related ambitions. Thinking processes will
become more structured and organized, and communications become more guarded
and cautious. A great deal of practical, productive, detailed work can be
accomplished, yet probably of a more reflective or internal nature initially
due to Mercury being in retrograde motion.
On 31Jan Venus at 26Cap trines Jupiter at 26Tau. If anything can brighten
up the otherwise stark Venus in Capricorn placement, this aspect should.
This aspect is perfect for a bit of redecorating around the home, or possibly
around the office. Artistic endeavors involving music ar art are likely to
give you pleasure and turn out well due to the great creative potential.
This is a time when you may finally receive deserved rewards which were
previously earned, and when you demonstrate more benevolence toward others.
On 01Feb Mercury retrograde conjuncts Venus at 27Cap. This mild aspect is
generally artistic and pleasant even if Mercury is retrograde.
On 03Feb Mercury retrograde at 26Cap trines Jupiter at 26Tau. This is
another mildly beneficial aspect which may indicate interesting and rewarding
work or intellectual exchanges.
Also on 03Feb the Sun at 15Cap squares Pluto at 15Sco. This may indicate
that other peoples plans could conflict with your own. Try to resolve any
joint plans through compromise and subtle as opposed to forceful influences.
Generally, don't impose your will on others, yet especially refrain from
being overly aggressive toward those of the opposite sex.
Also on 03Feb Venus enter Aquarius for a brief stay until 27Feb. This will
provide an attraction to innovative or revolutionary ideas, and maybe even
to astrology ;-}. There is a danger of becoming too detached in your
romantic encounters, and to work too much at the expense of your family.
Friendships are favored over deep emotional attachments.
On 04Feb Mars at 09Tau trines Saturn at 09Cap. This would be a good time
for a reunion with old friends or family. People are likely to behave with
highly responsible and self-controlled actions during this time.
On 05Feb Mercury at 26Cap goes direct. It will take a few days to get
rolling, so don't jump the gun, but this signifies the beginning of a period
where our thinking and communication facilities will be re-established, and
our mechanical conveniences will start becoming more of a blessing than a
headache. The next Mercury retrograde period starts on 12May.
That's it for this installment.
The next new moon is in Aquarius on 6February 1989.
Until then ... use your awareness to avoid some of the pitfalls of Mercury
retrograde, take advantage of the Capricorn moon cycle to develop solid new
foundations, and ... keep your astrological guard up and your 'Watch handy ;-}

Astrology Watch Highlights
--------------------------
The new moon on 6February in Aquarius (fixed air) provides us with
opportunities to re-establish our involvement with the creative goals of
groups and organizations, with friends, and with humanitarian interests.
Aquarius is ruled by Uranus (erratic change) and relates to the 11th house
concerns of organizations, personal goals and objectives, science, and a
detached mental outlook. As a fixed sign, Aquarian energies are stable;
and as an air sign the energy is expressed through thoughts rather than
through actions (fire), emotions (water), or things (earth).
Using Aquarian influences individuals can enjoy more positive self-expression
through scientific, humanitarian, or occult groups. People also gain a more
universal perspective on life. The way to maximize growth during this new moon
cycle is to condense ideas and thoughts into viable plans for the future which
are designed for the benefit of all rather than just for ourselves.
Since both Mercury and Jupiter have recently gone from retrograde to direct
motion, this full Moon starts off with no planets in retrograde motion. Thus
this cycle is likely to indicate a 'coming out' of people from a more internal
and introverted perspective to a more external and extroverted orientation.
Still, however, the cycle starts with four planets in Capricorn (cardinal
earth) which will insist upon a serious approach to the fundamentals of life.
In addition, all six remaining planets are currently transiting through fixed
signs, and therefore there are no mutable influences at work. Thus, at least
at the start of this cycle, there may be a marked lack of willingness to
compromise (mutable). People are likely to be involved with Saturnian issues
of responsibility and discipline (Capricorn), and may cling stubbornly (fixed)
onto ideas (Aqu - air), emotions (Sco - water) or possessions (Tau - earth).
On 7February, the day after the new Moon, the Moon reaches its orbital
perigee, thus heightening our emotional energy during this new moon period.
Also on 7February, Mars at 11Tau trines Neptune at 11Cap. This aspect
stimulates (Mars, trine) our intuitive and imaginative faculties (Neptune).
At this time, we are more likely to understand what has to be done and how to
go about doing it. We can experience harmony through the expression of deeper
desires. This aspect is excellent for energetic expression of creativity
through performings arts, dancing, or spiritual healing.
On 9February Mercury at 27Cap trines Jupiter at 27Tau. This aspect imparts
an optimistic (Jupiter) mental outlook (Mercury) with a potential for increased
health through relaxation. This may be accompanied by job opportunities for
interesting and rewarding work, or promotions. At this time communications
(Mercury) are smooth (trine) and philosophically minded (Jupiter). People
demonstrate a good balance between attention to detail versus grasp of the
comprehensive view. This aspect is favorable for study, writing, teaching,
interacting with the communications media, or travel (Mercury) related to
philosophy, religion, or higher education (Jupiter).
On 14February, Mercury enters Aquarius for a stay until March 10. This transit
is great for increased communications (Mercury) with friends, groups and
cultural organizations (Aquarius), and pursuit of scientific, humanitarian,
or occult studies. Discussions may be interesting and lively, yet beware of
erroneous advice (receiving OR giving it ;-}) and of interesting ideas which
may end up being highly impractical. People tend to adopt a detached and
objective point of view (Aquarius). Due the influence of Uranus, which rules
Aquarius, insights obtained now may lead to unique achievements or inventions.
Also on 14February a challenging cluster of aspects begins involving Venus,
Mars, and Pluto, which spans three days. The first aspect on the 14th is Mars
at 15Tau oppose Pluto at 15Sco. On the next day (15th) Venus at 15Aqu squares
Pluto, and on the following day (16th) Venus at 16Aqu squares Mars at 16Tau.
This configuration is called a transiting T-square, which is a difficult enough
aspect, yet the reforming influence of Pluto being applied to both Venus and
Mars makes this an especially difficult set of aspects. Since _all_ of these
planets are in fixed signs, major impasses of stubborness are indicated.
Astrologers have often found that the point which would transform the T-square
into a Grand Cross (in this case at 15-16 degrees of Leo) can hold the key to
successful integration of the conflicting T-square forces. Thus benevolent
leadership qualities (Leo) may be called upon to resolve stubborn disputes.
The first T-square aspect is Mars at 15Tau oppose Pluto at 15Sco on 14Feb.
This aspect is expressed as restlessness and a strong desire (Mars) for reform
(Pluto). People may adopt aggressive and autocratic attitudes which lead to
conflicts and power struggles over professional affairs, insurance, taxes or
alimony. Sexual jealousy may become intense, and sexual urges may become
difficult to control. There is potential danger of injury from weapons,
riots, or criminal activities. Some form of regeneration is called for in
sexual, personal, and business relationships. As a positive expression, this
aspect may provide vast resources of energy for constructive accomplishments
when cooperating with others, provided that the energy is controlled. Be
especially careful not to coerce others, and not to be coerced by them.
The second T-square aspect is Venus at 15Aqu square Pluto at 15 Sco on 16Feb.
This aspect indicates a lack of consideration for the emotional feelings of
others, and emotional attempts (Venus) to reform others (Pluto) which lead to
resentment. Additional difficulties with the control of sexual urges are
indicated, and may be compounded by realizations of sexual incompatibilities.
Avoid criminal elements and secret activities, and place extra protection on
valuable property. Past emotional attachments may be shattered at this time.
While this may not seem so beneficial at the time, Pluto enforces its lessons
by removing all excess baggage which is not absolutely required in a particular
area of your life in order to prepare for a fresh rebirth in that area. Thus
while this period may be rough, it provides exceptional opportunities for
forceful internal work on reforming our own emotional attachments. Just don't
try to impose your reforms on someone else!
The final T-square aspect is Venus at 16Aqu square Mars at 16Tau on 16Feb.
This aspect indicates more problems in romantic and sexual relationships with
jealousy, sexual over-indulgence, and lack of consideration for the feelings
of others (Venus) which are not likely to be aligned with our own desires
(Mars). Beware of financial extravagance on luxury items. At this time,
people's artistic and musical taste is likely to lack refinement, so if you
throw a party .. get a punk band ;-}.
On 15February the Sun at 27Aqu squares Jupiter at 27Tau. This aspect is
milder than any of the T-square aspects, yet can suggest personal problems
arising from hypocrisy, extravagance, and inflated self-importance. This
aspect can lead to overexpansion, foolish optimism, and waste. People may
feel a bit on the slow side today, and just taking it easy may be the theme
for today. People have a tendency to adhere to dogmatic views which may cause
problems in romantic, social, or business situations. Gambling is unwise at
this time, and charity may be tinged with a desire for personal recognition
and praise. The 'antidote' for most of these negative expressions is to
maintain a more objective and philosophical attitude.
On 16February Pluto at 15Sco turns retrograde until 22July. Since Pluto is
an 'outer' planet, the effects of retrograde Pluto apply more to society as
a whole than to individuals. International secrets may be uncovered, and
international alliances may be destroyed or reformed.
On 18Feb the Sun enters Pisces (ruled by Neptune) which will bring a more
sensitive and emotional attitude following the mental expressions of Aquarius.
People may become more sensitive, creative, and romantic, and will strive for
insights on deeper emotional levels. The following chart highlights this
sun-sign transition.

On 20February the full moon is exact, and will remain in effect from about
one day prior to the exact opposition to about two days afterward. The Moon
is in Virgo (mutable earth) and the Sun in Pisces (mutable water). The Pisces
Sun is likely to make people feel more sensitive and take offense easily,
and the Virgo Moon suggests that nervousness and stressful thoughts may
result in poor health, especially with digestion. However, with both the Sun
and Moon in mutable signs, and the orbital apogee (emotional low-tide)
following the full moon by a few days (23Feb), people should remain flexible
enough to compromise and resolve full moon conflicts so long as emotional
intensity and hypercriticism do not escalate out of control.
On 26February Venus at 28Aqu squares Jupiter at 28Tau. This aspect is
similar to the Sun square Jupiter aspect listed above in that it does not
indicate serious problems, yet can cause personal let-downs of an emotional
nature. This aspect will bring out cruder mannerisms lacking in social grace.
People may procrastinate and waste time on unproductive pursuits.
On 27February Venus transits from Aquarius into Pisces until 23March. Venus
in Pisces is extremely sensitive, and demonstrates extraordinary emotional
sympathy and understanding, kindness towards those in need, and appreciation
of beauty. Due to the influence of Neptune, the ruler of Pisces, people can
understand others on a deeply spiritual and compassionate level. This transit
is associated with secret romances and behind-the-scenes activity. People
are attracted to places of retreat and romantic privacy. This is an ideal
time to skip the wedding formalities ... and just elope ;-}.
On 28Feb Mercury at 15Aqu squares Pluto at 15Sco. This aspect is telling us
to watch our mouths! Power struggles, mental coercion, and sarcastic speech
are highlighted. People may be confronted with difficult business decisions,
or the discomfort of possessing secret information. Serious problems with
contracts and joint finances are indicated, so try to avoid signing things
today. People are more susceptible to communicable diseases, so stock up on
condoms and be sure to practice safe-sex ;-}. People may be forced to discard
old ideas and radically change their viewpoints. This aspect is slightly
energized by the 3rd � moon (Moon square Sun) which also falls on this day.
On 2March the Sun at 12Pis sextiles Saturn at 12Cap, and then sextiles
Neptune also at 12Cap, as a precursor to the major Saturn conjunct Neptune
aspect on 3March. The Sun sextile Saturn aspect indicates constructive
ambition, good organization, and a mature attitude. This is a very favorable
time for important communications with those in power. People are likely to
make steady progress toward goals, and enjoy an enhanced sense of dignity.
The Sun sextile Neptune aspect stimulates intuitive and creative faculties,
and imparts an appreciation of art and beauty. People gain insights into
the workings of the sub-conscious mind which provide valuable material for
productive spiritual development. Romance tends toward the exotic now, so
head for Tahiti if you can ;-} or at least book an escape weekend for two.
The Saturn conjunct Neptune aspect indicates steady concentration and
mastery of psychological focus. This is extremely favorable for meditation
with an increased capacity for practical (Saturn) visualization (Neptune).
Saturn adds structure to Neptunian visons, music, arts, etc. If you ever
considered atempting to create your own reality, then this is an ideal time
to start! Emotional depression may arise at this time from subconscious
anxieties based upon memories of past relationships. These memories should be
faced honestly so they don't lead to irrational fears and anxieties. Avoid
brooding and self-pity. Uncertainties or deceptions (Neptune) may arise in
business or partnerships (Saturn), yet money may be made through art, music,
or cultural institutions. Also, people may be on either the giving or
receiving end of secret (Neptune) investigations (Saturn). This major aspect
initiates a new 30+ year cycle involving these Saturn and Neptune, and since
it occurs in Capricorn it may usher in a period where the results of psychic
visualization become tangible. This could be the identifiable beginning of a
New Age where people acknowledge and practice creation of their own realities.
Also on 3March, Venus at 5Pis sextiles Uranus at 5Cap. This aspect indicates
unexpected unusual and exciting opportunities, and a fun-loving social life.
People may have unique original ideas in creating art, music, or money.
Whatever brings fun and excitement into your life, go out and do it today ;-}.
On 5March the Sun at 15Pis trines Pluto at 15Scorpio. This aspect provides
an opportunity to make progressive changes through increased will-power and
resourcefulness. Clairvoyance is stimulated, and efforts at spiritual, mental
or physical self-improvement are favored. People may assume a professional
leadership role, and may benefit through insurance, inheritance, or taxes.
That's it for this installment.
The next new moon is in Pisces on 7March 1989.
Until then ...
keep an open mind ...
and create for yourself a reality worth sharing with others ;-}.

Astrology Watch Highlights
--------------------------
The new moon on 7Mar in Pisces (mutable water) is accompanied by a solar
eclipse and provides us with opportunities to reestablish a close connection
with our deepest and most profound feelings. The solar eclipse adds extra
influence to this new moon, and may provide special opportunities for truly
new beginnings during this Moon cycle. Pisces is ruled by Neptune (sublime
delusion) and relates to 12th house concerns of unconscious emotions, past
experiences, intuitive thoughts, behind the scenes actions, and institutions.
As a mutable sign, Piscean energies are flexible; and as a water sign the
energy is expressed through emotions rather than through actions (fire),
things (earth), or thoughts (air). Using Piscean influences, individuals
can enjoy art, music, poetry and any project that requires sensitivity and
creative, imaginative thought. To maximize growth during this new moon cycle
allow your psychic and intuitive perceptions to manifest, share compassionate
feelings for others, help behind the scenes with institutions or social
organizations, and do your planting and transplanting now!
On 9March Venus at 12Pisces sextiles both Neptune and Saturn, which are
currently conjunct at 12Cap (see the last Astrology Watch for details).
The Venus sextile Neptune aspect arouses our creative and romantic imagination,
our appreciation of beauty, and our sensitivity to the feelings of others.
Since Venus is in Pisces (ruled by Neptune) this enhanced sensitivity will be
accentuated, and could result in some over-indulgent dreaminess. Oh well,
maybe a good romantic dream is just what you need today ;-}. The Venus sextile
Saturn aspect allows us to bring some structure and order to our relationships,
and identifies an excellent time to sit down and arrive at a conscious
understanding of what each person expects from the other in a relationship.
This aspect favors tasks requiring thoroughness and attention to detail.
On 10March, Mercury begins a rapid transit through Pisces until it enters
Aries on 27March. When Mercury is in Pisces (ruled by Neptune) people can
become more in touch with the hidden sides of their personality and their
unconscious drives, yet at this time people are more likely to keep such
insights to themselves. People are likely to have increased concern with
spiritual development, and may feel like escaping into reclusion to sort out
their ideas. Keeping secrets from others will only undermine their confidence
in you once the hidden secrets are revealed.
Also on 10March, Jupiter enters Gemini for a stay until 30July89. Jupiter
in Gemini (ruled by Mercury) will tend to expand your perspective of the world,
and elevate your consciousness. Thinking patterns are broadened and are less
subject to the limitations imposed by habitual attitudes, and attitudes are
likely to be generous and tolerant. This is an excellent time for advanced
training or extended travel. Communications tend to be more effective and
frank, and relationships with relatives are smooth. You may create big plans
for the future, but be careful not to overcommit.
Finally, also on 10March, Mercury at 29Aquarius squares Mars and Jupiter,
which are both at 29Taurus. The Mercury square Mars aspect indicates touchy
and irritable communications which will be regarded as challenges. You may be
forced to defend your ideas, or may find yourself challenging someone else's.
Be careful of accidents with hot or sharp objects. The Mercury square Jupiter
aspect is generally favorable and imparts optimistic attitudes towards long-
range goals. At this time you may be able to grasp the whole picture and think
in big, ideal, abstract terms. People may be sloppy with details, however,
and may be inclined to overlook things which conflict with larger plans.
On 11March Mars enters Gemini for a stay until 29April89. During this transit
the tempo of your life may pick up considerably and your energy level will be
increased. There may be possible conflicts with neighbors or relatives, yet
there is a great potential for cooperative energies to accomplish a great deal
during this time. People may identify too strongly with their beliefs, and
simple disagreement may be interpretted as a challenge to personal beliefs.
People may tend to be argumentative, so be careful not to get involved in
pointless arguments, and don't try to coerce others into believing the things
that you do. Even routine communications may take on a defiant tone. This
can be a good time to "sell" new ideas, so long as you don't attack others
with them, and it is an excellent time for vigorous and diligent mental work.
Immediately after Mars enters Gemini it conjuncts Jupiter. This aspect
offers an abundance of optimism, self-confidence, and energy. People may
become so headstrong that they will not accept NO for an answer. Keep any
bad news to yourself today, because other people don't want to hear it ;-}.
Later on 11March, Venus at 15Pis trines Pluto at 15Scorpio. This aspect
imparts intense emotions capable of the highest form of love, and strong
sexual drives. The power of love can have a transforming effect on others.
The placement of these planets in water signs favors the more sensitive and
romantically steamy encounters.
On 13March Mercury at 5Pisces sextiles Uranus at 5Cap which stimulates quick
intuitive and inventive thinking, and enhances original dramatic expression.
Inventions or discoveries are favored in electronics, science or engineering.
On 18March Mercury at 12Pisces sextiles Neptune at 12Capricorn, and shortly
thereafter sextiles Saturn at 13Capricorn. Mercury sextile Neptune imparts
keen perceptions, and stimulates a fertile imagination. Creative writing is
especially favored. Mercury sextile Saturn enhances our capacity for
organization, and encourages us to leave nothing to chance. This aspect may
help to discipline the potentially dreamy Mercury sextile Neptune influences
to allow tangible expression of the creativity encountered in our psychic
musings. Carefully recording your dreams today may yield additional insights.
On 19March Mercury at 15Pisces trines Pluto at 15Scorpio. The Piscean
influences (12th house) can accentuate the deeply profound spiritual and
regenerative thinking associated with this aspect. Sub-conscious thoughts
may rise into conscious awareness. Probe your spiritual underpinnings today.
The Sun entering Aries on 20March marks the Spring (Vernal) Equinox and
thus the beginning of Spring! The Aries dynamism is reflected as the
initiation of new life: flowers budding, animals mating, and people doing
all those romantic things they are known for. Keep in mind that Aries is
a Cardinal (active) Fire sign, and try to keep your cool since there may
be some people acting more inflammatory than usual.
The Sun's transition from Pisces to Aries (on the 20th) can be accentuated
by comparing some key features of the two signs. This is actually one of the
most significant transitions since it implies the culmination of an old cycle
(Pisces) and the initiation of a new one (Aries).

On 20March the full moon is exact, and will remain in effect from about one
day prior to the exact opposition to about two days afterward. The Moon is
in Libra (cardianl air) and the Sun in Aries (cardianl fire). The Aries Sun
is likely to make people feel more aggressive, and the Libra moon suggests
that people will feel more conciliatory in relationships.
On 22March the Sun at 02Aries sextiles Jupiter at 02Gem. This aspect
energizes our ego drives and can result in boisterous self-confidence and
optimism. This aspect can also bring very good luck, especially for those
born between March 21-23 (transiting Sun conjunct natal Sun) or May 21-23
(transiting Jupiter conjunct natal Sun). Things planned today should work
out well, and it is a good day for activities involving group participation.
On 23March Venus enters Aries for a stay until 16April89. During this transit
people become more impulsive and aggressive in their emotional self-expression.
Affections can also become impulsive and unstable. The opposite/complementary
energies of Libra can be invaluable for providing balance and harmony in
relationships during this period of rapid-fire emotional activity.
On 25March Venus at 02Aries sextiles Jupiter at 02Gemini. This aspect brings
benevolent and peaceful feelings. This may also be a good day to initiate
financial enterprises or real-estate transactions providing that disruptions
from Sun at 5Aries square Uranus at 5Capricorn later in the day can be managed.
The Sun square Uranus aspect indicates that we should prepare for and beware
of sudden upsets and disruptive situations. People desire to break down their
everyday routines today, yet they may end up taking foolhardy risks to do so.
Be extra careful today since people tend to be more accident prone. Learn to
go with the flow of disruptions, and avoid arguing or you'll make things worse.
On 27March Mercury enters Aries for a brief stay until 11April89. When
Mercury transits through Aries people are likely to react with quick and
aggressive mental responses. There is an abundance of mental energy during
this time, but people are more likely to act first and think later.
Later on 27March, Venus at 5Aries squares Uranus at 5Capricorn. Today people
will seek excitement in love relationships, even to the point of provoking
fights. This aspect demands patience, yet Venus in Aries must struggle to be
patient with anything. Don't flirt too much today or you may provoke a major
confrontation with someone you love. Try to keep a lid on impulsive spending
since the excitement of buying will pass long before the bills are paid ;-}.
On 29March Mercury at 03Aries sextiles Jupiter at 03Gemini. This aspect
promotes clear, sharp thinking and heightens intellectual curiosity. People
can more readily grasp a clear understanding of the overall patterns of life.
On 30March Mercury at 05Aries squares Uranus at 05Capricorn. This aspect
stimulates our minds, and indicates a need for exciting ideas. People may
become bored or nervous, or have difficulty concentrating on daily tasks.
Established plans may not work out as intended, so try to remain flexible.
During the first four days of April there are a whopping total of twelve
aspects, all of which involve the Sun, Venus, and Mercury which are transiting
closely together from 12 to 15 degrees of Aries. First, each of the three
squares Neptune which is at 12Capricorn, then each squares Saturn which is at
13Capricorn, then each conjuncts each other at 14Aries, and finally each
sextiles Mars at 15Gemini. Ten of the twelve aspects occur on the 3rd and
4th of April, which makes for a couple of very active astrological days.
The first of three Neptune squares occurs on 1April and the last on 3April.
Sun square Neptune depletes our energy level and indicates a day when our
body may need to take the day off. The physical dissipation may simply be
a symptom of more general feelings of inadequacy and lack of confidence.
Venus square Neptune can stimulate our romantic imagination and may result
in some pleasant dreamy moments. People may become overly idealistic or
unrealistic in dealings with loved ones. Mercury square Neptune can delude
our practical thinking, yet can be especially good for creative thinking.
All three squares to Saturn occur on 3April from 13Aries to 13Capricorn.
With these inner planets in a square relationship with Saturn you will feel
restrictions on ego energies (Sun), love relationships (Venus), and mental
ideas (Mercury). During this time your boss may burden you with extra unwanted
responsibilities, a lover may make too many demands on you, or you may just
feel generally down in the dumps. Try to be patient with restrictions today
since all of the pent-up Aries energy may burst out into inappropriately
aggressive responses if you are not careful. Restraint may still be possible
however, since luckily all of these Saturn square aspects occur before the
Moon adds its own fiery energy as it enters Aries on the evening of 4April.
On 4April there are a total of 6 aspects including the three conjunctions
between Mercury, Venus, and the Sun at 14Aries, and the three subsequent
sextiles from 15Aries to Mars at 15Gemini. The conjunctions are generally
favorable, and their occurrence just prior to the new moon in Aries should
set the stage for the initiation of dynamic new activities during the next
moon cycle. The sextiles to Mars are favorable for action-oriented activities
and communications. The heightened influence of Mars in Gemini combined with
the prevailing Aries energies may lead some people to flirt way too much and
too blatantly. This could lead to defiant leaps into limited engagement
relationships without due consideration of the consequences.
That's it for this installment.
The next new moon is in Aries on 5April 1989.
Until then ... keep your Astrology Watch in hand .. your natal chart
in mind .. your observations incisive .. your disbelief in absentia ..
and your interpretations incomparable ;'}.

Astrology Watch Highlights
--------------------------
The new moon on 5April in Aries (cardinal fire) provides us with opportunities
to make a fresh start. This is the astrological new year, and thus a time for
new beginnings. Aries is ruled by Mars (desire and aggression) and relates to
the 1st house concerns of ego, independence, new ventures, self awareness and
discovery.
As a cardinal sign, Aries energies are dynamic; and as a fire sign energy is
expressed through actions rather than through emotions (water), things (earth),
or thoughts (air). Using Aries influences, individuals can enjoy competitive
sports, new projects, and any activity that requires direct assertiveness.
People should guard against over-impulsiveness or being too headstrong.
To maximize growth during this new moon cycle initiate changes _now_. This
is a new chance for making New Year's resolutions, so start fresh, develop new
ideas, and try new things. Explore new options.
The planetary aspects of this Moon cycle are exceptionally favorable. With
Mercury, Venus and the Sun all transiting into Taurus (fixed earth) we not
only gain some internal stability, but soon each of the planets will in turn
trine Uranus, Neptune, and Saturn which are all in Capricorn (cardinal earth).
This may become a bit too earthy (ie. practical, conservative) for some more
other-worldly people, yet everyone should benefit from this down-to-earth
grounding. Following the trines, Mercury, Venus and the Sun will all oppose
Pluto however, but life would be boring if there weren't a few challenges ;-}.
During this Moon cycle Uranus, Neptune, and Saturn will all turn retrograde
for several months. The effects of these outer planets turning retrograde
have much less personal impact than when inner planets such as Mercury turn
retrograde. Actually, retrograde outer planets generally indicate a lightening
up of the effects of those planets, and thus a sort of breather from the
externally imposed lessons of those planets. The lessons which were formerly
presented in the external world during forward planetary motion now become
consolidated and internalized, and an introspective attitude predominates in
those areas.
On 9April Uranus at 05Cap turns retrograde until 10Sep. During this period
organization and self-discipline, though well-meaning, may falter. There is
a need to accept practical responsibilities, and if they are no dealt with
effectively then karmic responsibilities may befall you.
On 11April Mercury enters Taurus for a brief stay until 29April. During this
time our thinking will be practical and deliberate. A danger of this Mercury
placement is mental lethargy, yet careful planning and patience are supported,
and real-estate transactions are favored. People are likely to engage in
practical down-to-earth communications.
On 13April Neptune at 12Cap turns retrograde until 21Sep. This transit
accentuates our internal conflicts between Dreams versus Practicality.
We need to use and cultivate our imagination even in opposition to practical
issues, and we need to get our affairs in order. Many things which have been
kept concealed for some time may exposed when Neptune turns retrograde.
Also on 13April, Mercury at 05Tau trines Uranus at 05Cap. This aspect
encourages us to put our concrete ideas into practice in new and exciting ways.
New land or real-estate dealings are favored. People gain an ability to adopt
new and inventive ways of thinking and to realign their thought patterns.
On 16April Venus enter Taurus for a stay until 12May. Since Taurus is ruled
by Venus (as is Libra) the transit of Venus through Taurus is a pleasant one,
and can stabilize our love interests. Artistry and love interests are viewed
in a more possesive and security-minded way , and with more practicality and
seriousness. Practice, study, and sensuality are favored.
On 17April Mercury at 12Tau trines Neptune at 12Cap. This marks an excellent
time for creativity and imaginative powers. Harmony can be achieved through
creative pursuits. On 18April Mercury at 13Tau trines Saturn at 13Cap. This
aspect encourages stabilized thought patterns and practical thoughts. Strong
powers of concentration and self control can be achieved. Try not to become
depressed by overtaxing your brain. Also on 18April, Mercury at 14Tau opposes
Pluto at 14Sco. Keep an open mind, and don't become a doubting Thomas.
Upsetting events may occur and upset your regular thought structures, but
maybe they needed a bit of a jolt ;-}.
On 19April the Sun enters Taurus (fixed, earth) which ushers in the fixed
portion of the Spring season. Plant or transplant your gardens now to
encourage steady growth, and sow new seeds for hardy development. Aries has
been rushing out, now Taurus sets our feet back firmly on the ground.
The following chart highlights this sun-sign transition.
Aries Taurus
---------- ----------
Duality Masculine Feminine
Element Fire Earth
Quality Cardinal Fixed
Keyword 'I Am' 'I Have'
Polarity Libra Scorpio
Body Parts Head Neck and Throat
Animals Ram Cattle
The Sun in Taurus indicates much more grounded and stable energy compared
to the dynamic and possibly frantic energy associated with the Sun in Aries.
With both Venus and Mercury transiting through Taurus, these qualities will
be further accentuated, and Mercury should provide much more orderly and
practical communication faculties.
The Moon is full on 20April with the Moon at 01Sco opposed the Sun at 01Tau.
This full Moon in Taurus/Scorpio illuminates fixed mental and emotional
attitudes which may explode if they come head-to-head. Remain objective.
Release your own fixed mental attitudes, and don't be jealous or possessive.
On 21April Venus at 05Tau trines Uranus at 05Cap. Exciting new love interests
may arise from this aspect, and exciting new developments may occur in science
or art.
On 22April Saturn at 14Cap turns retrograde until 11Sep. Saturn retrograde
causes inner doubts regarding one's sense of worth. People may have difficulty
in expressing themselves in large groups due to introversion.
On 25April the Sun at 05Tau trines Uranus at 05Cap. This aspect encourages
intuitive and original actions, and is accompanied by a strong desire to be
independent. Science and electronics are favored.
On 26April Venus at 12Tau trines Neptune at 12Cap. Creative expression is
heavily favored, and may be inspired by dreams. Warm compassion and highly
idealistic love combine to make an extremely romantic atmosphere.
On 27April Venus at 13Tau trines Saturn at 13Cap, and later in the day Venus
at 14Tau opposes Pluto at 14Sco. The trine to Saturn leads to inner strength
involving personal relationships. Friendships and love relationships gain
stability. The opposition to Pluto may lead to excessive jealousy, controlling
of others or allowing others to control you.
On 29April Mercury enters Gemini for a stay until 29May. Active or scattered
thinking prevails, and tends to be very humorous and witty. Versatility is
favored. Our minds may be somewhat flighty making concentration on a single
goal difficult. Mercury is especially active in talkative, quick-thinking
Gemini, which is ruled by Mercury. This is a great time to learn new things
or adapt to new ways of thinking about things.
On 2May the Sun at 12Tau trines Neptune at 12Cap. This aspect favors art,
music, painting and ideals, yet it may lead to sensitivity or self-delusion.
Also on 2May, Saturn at 14Cap sextiles Pluto at 14Sco. This aspect confers
exceptional self-discipline, and appreciation of hard work. This aspect may
hold the key to happiness this month, since it may help us deal effectively
with the lessons of Pluto, and other than the several difficult Pluto aspects
we have astrologically smooth sailing this month.
On 4May the Sun at 14Tau opposes Pluto at 14Sco. Don't blow it up! Remain
flexible. This aspect may indicate trouble with friends, lovers or groups
due to stubborness and not allowing others to have their say. Secrets may
come out due to the ego and honesty of the Sun opposing the secrecy and
keep-everything-under-wraps attitude of Pluto in Scorpio. If you make the
mistake of making someone really angry today, like revealing their secrets,
then they are likely to remember it for a long long time.
The next new moon is in Taurus on 5May 1989.
Until then ... start new projects, master the Pluto aspects, plant your feet
on the ground and your flowers in the ground, and enjoy the Taurus trines.

==========================
The new moon on 5May in Taurus (Fixed, Earth) provides an opportunity to
initiate new projects on a firm and stable foundation. Since Taurus is
ruled by Venus, this could mean a new love relationship or new stability
within an existing relationship.
As a fixed sign, Taurus energies are stable; and as an earth sign energy is
expressed through tangible things rather than through emotions (water), actions
(fire), or thoughts (air). Using Taurean influences, individuals can enjoy
gardening, fixing up a house, practical domestic tasks, love relationships,
and issues relating to assets. People should guard against becoming too
closed-minded, too stubborn, or too materialistic.
To maximize growth during this new moon cycle you should sow seeds in your
physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual gardens, thus initiating germin-
ation of earthy and practical beginnings which can yield future hardy growth.
The same applies for flower or vegetable gardens too.
At the start of this Moon cycle Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto are all
retrograde, and Mercury is soon to follow. This indicates that we are
receding into a more reflective period where much internal work can be
accomplished, yet few external effects will be visible. This is an excellent
time to reevaluate the directions of current plans, or the causes of past
successes or failures. When we resurface from this instrospective period
we should be much more able to effectively chart a new course for ourselves.
On 7May Mars at 05Cancer opposes Uranus at 05Capricorn. This aspect
accentuates our struggle between the goals of home life (Cancer) and career
ambitions (Capricorn), and it also involves two of the most aggressive and
excitable planetary influences. Arguments may erupt on this day at home or
at work, with males likely to be the most upset. Love relationships may
prove to be unreliable or unfaithful. There is a lot of energy inherent in
this cardinal sign aspect, but it will take great patience and understanding
to go with the flow of changes which it suggests.
On 11May, Venus enters Gemini for a stay until 4Jun. During this transit we
will tend to place more value on ideas and intellectual pursuits. People are
interested in establishing friendships, but will stay somewhat on the surface
instead of getting deeply involved. Conversation can be witty, and generally
interpersonal relations are lighter and more enjoyable. Our values are
changeable, and we are flexible enough to change our viewpoints. This applies
to our love life too since Venus in Gemini can be associated with multiple
or fickle love interests.
On 12May, Mercury turns retrograde til 5Jun. This happens three to four
times a year (4-6 weeks per time), and has some of the most noticable effects
of any astrological event. When Mercury is retrograde (especially as it turns
retro) communication faculties slow down, people become more reflective, and
communications in general falter. This does not have to be such a negative
period so long as you don't try to push..push..push everything through, because
you will just get frustrated when nothing moves as fast as you want it to.
Try to allow extra time, and be content to let things happen at their own pace.
In this particular case, since Mercury turns retrograde in its own sign
Gemini, the retrograde effects may catch us totally off-guard. We seem to
be flowing right along with Mercury in Gemini, but we cannot assume that we
can continue to flow as Mercury turns retrograde. If we push ahead and ignore
the warnings then we could be in for some rude awakenings when things finally
hit the fan. You don't want to have a tight schedule once Mercury has turned!
Be careful what you say or write during this retrograde Mercury period due to
inevitable misinterpretations. The best advice here is KISS (Keep It Simple,
Stupid!). Do not expect anyone to understand your idioms or inuendos. They
may nod .. but they are probably agreeing to something that you never said.;-}
Due to miscommunications on all levels, this is _not_ a good time to sign
contracts. Get at least a 30 day warrantee on any mechanical or electrical
products or work that you have done during this time. This is a _good_ period
for thinking about new projects or reevaluating old projects (be reflective),
but is _not_ a good time to start in on them (because inevitably your
understanding is not quite accurate or complete now).
On 16May Mercury conjuncts Venus at 06Gemini. This aspect makes for lively
and pleasant conversation, and we may find that our thoughts drift to more
fanciful topics today. Aspects between these two innermost planets always
activate a great deal of mental activity, and even more so when they are both
in the air sign Gemini.
On 18May Saturn at 13Capricorn sextiles Pluto at 13Scorpio. This aspect
encourages practical thoughts for new projects and ventures, or orderly
reforms for current projects.
Also on 18May Mars at 12Cancer opp Nep at 12Capricorn. This aspect can
result in dramatic diffusion of emotional energy. This could manifest as
depression, anger, apathy, or drug abuse. Psychic channels will be overloaded
today, so our discrimination of particular psychic insights may become clouded.
There is a lot of activity on 20May including a full moon, two Mars aspects,
and the Sun changing signs. The full moon is exact with the Moon in Scorpio
opposed the Sun in Taurus. With this full moon in fixed signs there will
be little chance for compromise once disagreements have arisen. Thus, try to
keep a level head, and let people have their stubborn or stupid ideas today
if they want to. You can straighten them out some other day ;-}.
Mars at 13Cancer first opposes Saturn at 13Capricorn and then trines Pluto
at 13Scorpio on 20May. Mars opposed Saturn can frustrate our ambitions and
place a restrictive influence on our aggressive energies. Mars trine Pluto
can provide energy for rebuilding and, especially with both planets in water
signs and Pluto in Scorpio, can indicate intense emotional experiences or a
profound sexual union.
Also on 20May the Sun transitions from Taurus to Gemini (mutable air) which
initiates the mutable or changable portion of the Spring season.
The following chart highlights this sun-sign transition.
Taurus Gemini
---------- ----------
Duality Feminine Masculine
Element Earth Air
Quality Fixed Mutable
Keyword 'I Have' 'I Think'
Polarity Scorpio Sagittarius
Body Parts Neck,Throat Hands,Arms,Lungs
Animals Cattle Bright birds, butterflies
The Sun in Gemini indicates a more mental and somewhat scattered energy which
is expressed through the communication of ideas, compared to the stable and
grounded energy associated with the Sun in Taurus. With both Mercury (which
rules Gemini) and Venus in Gemini for most of this cycle, these tendencies
should be more obvious, but since only inner planets are involved the effects
will not be very deep emotionally. Gemini is known for superficiality, but
also for wit, charm, and twins.
On 22May Venus conjuncts Jupiter at 14Gemini. This aspect confers optimism,
benevolence, wit, and mental agility. A short trip may be very enjoyable.
On 23May Mercury conjuncts the Sun at 03Gemini. This aspect will bring fun,
light, witty, and breezy communications. There will also be a touch of
optimism in the form of self-confidence. However, remember that Mercury is
still retrograde, and thus your self-confidence may be somewhat misguided,
so don't let your big mouth get you in over your head today!
On 28May Mercury enter Taurus by retrograde motion for a stay until 12Jun.
Mercury in Taurus encourages deliberate thinking, and turns our attention
towards what we value materially, spiritually, or intellectually. This may
not be such a bad place for a retrograde Mercury, since we will tend to
carefully evaluate each of our decisions, and hopefully we will have the
good sense to delay a few decisions until such time as we have all of the
required information in front of us.
The next new moon is in Gemini on 3June 1989.
Until then ... hang in there by trying to maintain your patience through this
Mercury retrograde period. It may seem like it will last forever, but that's
only because time has a tendency to stand still when Mercury is retrograde ;-}.

| Ok, another astrological question, I'll move it if there is a more
appropriate note. In approximately 6 weeks? There will be 2 planets
with equal access or equal to the moon. Does anyone out there Know
when this will happen? What the planets are involved and what the
effect will be? From what I've heard another veil will be lifted.
Thanks

I don't really understand the phrase "2 planets with equal access or equal
to the moon", but from what I can infer from the "veil will be lifted", you
are probably referring to the triple conjunction that is now in progress
between the planets Saturn and Neptune in the cardinal earth sign Capricorn.
By 'triple' conjunction I mean that the two planets conjunct each other three
separate times with alternating direct and retrograde encounters before
initiating the next Saturn/Neptune cycle. A triple conjunction is interpreted
as a more complete reformation of the interrelationship between two planets
than would occur if only a single conjunction initiated the cycle.
The first conjunction between Saturn and Neptune occurred on March 3rd 1989
at 12 degrees of Capricorn. Both planets were in direct motion and Saturn
(which moves faster) overtook Neptune. Since that time, both planets have
turned retrograde. Because Saturn is closer to earth, its retrograde effect
covers more degrees of arc and at a faster rate than the more distant planet
Neptune, and thus Saturn backs up over Neptune to conjunct it again on June
23rd 1989 at 11 degrees of Capricorn with both planets in retrograde motion.
The final conjunction between Saturn and Neptune will occur on November 13th
1989 at 10 degrees of Capricorn with Saturn overtaking Neptune while both
planets are in direct motion again. This final conjunction will signify most
strongly the culmination of the old Saturn/Neptune cycle, and the initiation
into a fresh new cycle.
The following aspect interpretation was entered in the Astrology Watch to
describe the first conjunction of Saturn and Neptune in Capricorn on March
3rd 1989 :
> Note 672.57: Astrology Watch: New Moon in Aquarius; Feb 6th - March 7th.
> ...
> The Saturn conjunct Neptune aspect indicates steady concentration and
> mastery of psychological focus. This is extremely favorable for meditation
> with an increased capacity for practical (Saturn) visualization (Neptune).
> Saturn adds structure to Neptunian visons, music, arts, etc. If you ever
> considered atempting to create your own reality, then this is an ideal time
> to start! Emotional depression may arise at this time from subconscious
> anxieties based upon memories of past relationships. These memories should be
> faced honestly so they don't lead to irrational fears and anxieties. Avoid
> brooding and self-pity. Uncertainties or deceptions (Neptune) may arise in
> business or partnerships (Saturn), yet money may be made through art, music,
> or cultural institutions. Also, people may be on either the giving or
> receiving end of secret (Neptune) investigations (Saturn). This major aspect
> initiates a new 30+ year cycle involving these Saturn and Neptune, and since
> it occurs in Capricorn it may usher in a period where the results of psychic
> visualization become tangible. This could be the identifiable beginning of a
> New Age where people acknowledge and practice creation of their own realities
> ...
If Saturn conjunct Neptune was not the celestial event that you were
referring to then ...
never mind ... ;-}

| Thanks, very much Todd, for typing that all in, I did read the
Astro watch, from March with great interest.
I'm asking this question for a friend who is not very familiar with
Astrology so, I'll have to ask for more clarification. I was told
there would be 2 planets which were small that would be equal to
or have equal acces to the moon? It sounded like a trine to me.
But I'll see if this makes sense to them.
Thanks

Astrology Watch Highlights
==========================
The new moon on 3June in Gemini (Mutable, Air) provides an opportunity to
develop your objectivity and have meaningful communications. Since Gemini
is ruled by Mercury, communications by mouth, letter, or video are all
likely. Everyone will feel like talking, a few may even listen ;-}.
As a mutable sign, Gemini energies fluctuate; and as an air sign energy is
expressed through ideas or communications (air) rather than through emotions
(water), actions (fire), or things (earth). Using Gemini influences,
individuals can enjoy objectivity, flexibility, versatility and wit.
People should guard against becoming too nervous and edgy, or too talkative
at times when there is little of substance to say.
To maximize growth during this new moon cycle you should stress honesty
rather that mouthing what people want to hear, and you should encourage
yourself and others to talk about feelings and attitudes.
At the start of this Moon cycle five planets are retrograde (Mercury, Saturn,
Uranus, Neptune and Pluto). Mercury soon turns direct, yet the other four
planets remain retrograde throughout this moon cycle. This indicates that
we are continuing the more reflective period of reevaluation and reassessment.
This internalization will ease somewhat when Mercury turns direct.
On 4June Venus enters Cancer (cardinal water) for a stay until 29June.
During this transit a higher value is placed on emotions, feminine issues,
concerns with mother, caring, and nurturing. People are apt to feel more
affectionate, and to require affection more often. People can become
possessive or clinging in love relationships and friendships.
On 5June Mercury at 28Taurus turns direct until 11September. While this is
the first day that Mercury is not moving retrograde, it will still take a
couple of days before direct motion is apparent. With Mercury in the slow and
steady sign Taurus, people may be able to clean up a lot of lingering problems,
but they are not likely to feel the enhanced communication effects of Mercury
direct until after it enters Gemini, which is ruled by Mercury, on 12June.
On 7June Venus at 04Cancer opposes Uranus at 04Capricorn. This aspect
highlights the conflict between a need for love versus a need for freedom.
There is a need for intimacy and closeness, but a fear of being smothered.
This aspect can be very confusing for love relationships, and may lead to
an abrupt ending of an existing relationship, or to an exciting beginning of
a new relationship which is unfortunately not likely to last long. The
effects of this aspect may manifest as conflicts between home life (Cancer)
and career ambitions (Capricorn).
On 9June the Sun conjuncts Jupiter at 18Gemini. This aspect activates
expansive and benevolent influences, and encourages optimism and philosophical
concern for issues beyond oneself. Writing and public speaking are favored.
Feelings of peace and harmony prevail, and the timing is excellent to take a
trip for enjoyment. Those born February 7-9 (Aquarius 17-19), June 8-10
(Gemini 17-19), or October 11-13 (Libra 17-19) will feel more courageous,
expansive, and particularly lucky for a couple of weeks as this aspect
accentuates the aspect between transiting Jupiter and their natal Sun. Find
someone with one of those birthdates to buy your lottery ticket this week ;-}.
On 12June Mercury enters its own sign Gemini (mutable air) for a stay until
5July. Mercury energies are at home and happy in Gemini, so ... it is finally
time to SAY IT and WRITE IT NOW! We can move ahead with mental communication
of all kinds, and ideas will be grasped quickly. This is a good time to
debate or work out contractual issues.
On 13June and 14June Venus at 11-13Cancer first opposes Neptune and Saturn
in Capricorn, and then trines Pluto in Scorpio. This represents a lot of
outer planet energy bombarding Venus, and can indicate significant changes
in our love lives and what we value.
Venus oppose Neptune indicates confusion and deception over relationsips.
Try not to be too idealistic, or to become lost in daydreams or drugs.
People may be deceived by a friend or lover. People will enjoy romance,
but it may not be real. Venus oppose Saturn indicates emotional coldness,
and highlights conflicts between our sense of duty and our desire to relate to
others. Through relationships we may be forced to face aspects of ourselves
that we would rather not acknowledge, and some people may become engulfed in
self-pity. Finally, Venus trine Pluto indicates intensified and profound
emotional expression. If you meet someone new, then it may feel pre-ordained
and it could be intense and sexual. Any new insights into relationships
should be carefully listened to.
On 16June Mars enters Leo (fixed fire) for a stay until 3August. This is a
hot one, so get out your tanning lotion ;-}. During this transit we will gain
lots of energy and will become much more impulsive and enthusiastic compared
to the conservatism and emotional strain we are experiencing now with Mars in
Cancer. If we can discipline and harness our passion and energy, and avoid
the pitfalls of arrogance, then we can make dramatic leaps of progress, and
we can even have a great time doing it! This is an excellent time to throw
fun parties or to pursue any kind of playful or sporting activity that you
enjoy. Get out there, grab the Lion by the mane, and ... Charge!
On 19June the full moon is exact with the Moon at 28Sagittarius and the
Sun at 28Gemini. This full moon should not be very heavy emotionally, and
since both the Sun and Moon are in mutable signs people may be willing to
compromise if conflicts arise. There may be some confusion between our ideas
and our feelings, or between our rational deductions and our sense of emotional
freedom. While this is generally a mild full moon period, be careful what you
say since an energized Moon in Sagittarius has been known to land many people's
feet squarely in their mouths ;-}.
On 21June the Sun will transition from Gemini to Cancer (cardinal earth)
initiating the active portion of the Summer season. This transition also
marks the first day of Summer, called the Summer Solstice. On this day, the
Sun reaches its Northernmost apparent angle of declination, and the Sun shines
for the longest daylight period of the year (in the Northern Hemisphere).
The following chart highlights this sun-sign transition.

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

The Sun in Cancer indicates an active emotional and often moody energy which
is expressed through feelings, compared to the mental and scattered energy
associated with the Sun in Gemini. Cancer is known for sensitivity, concerns
over home and family, nurturing, dependence, and martyrdom.
On 23June Saturn conjuncts Neptune at 11Capricorn with both planets in
retrograde motion. This is the second in a series of three conjunctions
between these two planets, with the final and most decisive conjunction
falling on 13November 1989. The Saturn conjunct Neptune aspect indicates
steady concentration, and can be extremely favorable for meditation with
with an increased capacity for practical (Saturn, Capricorn) visualization
(Neptune). This aspect may lead to insecurity and a tendency for depression
or viewing life negatively. This aspect will most strongly affect those
born January 1-3 (Capricorn 10-12), April 1-3 (Aries 10-12), July 3-5 (Cancer
10-12), and October 4-6 (Libra 10-12) who must watch their health and should
become attuned to their inner needs in order to effectively remedy some
potentially mysterious diseases. In general, there can be uncertainty as to
what is real and what is illusion with this aspect. Material needs may have
to be sacrificed to attain spiritual needs.
On 24June the Sun at 03Cancer opposes Uranus at 03Capricorn. This aspect
can bring restlessness, and surprising events. Business activities (Capricorn)
may undergo radical revisions. Be careful, and watch out for accidents.
On 29June Venus enters Leo for a stay until 23July. This transit confers
loyalty and generosity to lovers and friends, love of children, being in love
with love, and a passionate nature. People may become over-dramatic or
egotistical, may overspend on luxury items, and may become overly concerned
with their own personal beauty. However, people will be generally friendly
and out for a good time. Another great party transit, so throw one and
invite everybody!
On 2July the Sun at 11Cancer opposes the conjunction of Saturn and Neptune
at 11Capricorn. Sun oppose Saturn makes us conscious of limitations imposed
by circumstance, and is accompanied by an inability to communicate. We need
to balance our needs against our obligations today. Energy levels will be
low, but try not to wallow in lonliness or despair. Since the Moon is also
in Cancer today we are even more likely to be over-sensitive and depressed.
Sun oppose Neptune can lead to confusion and uncertainty along with a fear
of self-assertion. Avoid playing the victim or martyr today, but reflect
on your self instead. This aspect can yield powerful insights and artistic
initiative, but make sure to check back with reality to verify that the
insights are feasible to pursue.
Also on 2July Mercury conjuncts Jupiter at 24Gemini. This aspect ends the
moon cycle with a burst of new expansive plans and ideas. Thoughts are
optimistic on the mental level while remaining objective. This aspect
favors writing, journalism, short travels, and higher teachings.
The next new moon is in Cancer on 3July 1989.
Until then ... tread softly until Mercury enters Gemini, get rested up for
a new burst of energy when Mars enters Leo, plan big parties when both Mars
and Venus are in Leo, and then invite us ... we love a great party ;-}.

Astrology Watch Highlights
==========================
The new moon on 3July in Cancer (cardinal water) provides an opportunity to
get in touch with your emotional roots. Cancer is ruled by the Moon and thus
accentuates feelings, mother, home and family.
As a cardinal sign, Cancer energies are in motion; and as a water sign the
energy is expressed through emotions (water) rather that through ideas (air),
actions (fire), or things (earth). The cardinal action-starting sign Cancer
corresponds to the waves on our ocean of emotion, whereas Pisces (mutable
water) reflects the ebb and flow, and Scorpio (fixed water) rules the slow
currents which run deep.
Using Cancer influences, we can improve home and family conditions, and open
up our inner feelings. You should guard against becoming too moody or
withdrawing into a protective crab-like shell. To maximize growth during
this new moon cycle you should emphasize family matters, nurture loved ones,
and tend both your emotional and vegetable gardens with loving care.
On 4July the Sun at 12Cancer trines Pluto at 12Scorpio. This aspect indicates
a restructuring of individuals, either by themselves or by others. Much energy
is activated by this aspect, and it may be expressed as intense or profound
sexuality. This aspect can lead to reforms of our use of will power.
On 5July Mercury enters Cancer for a stay until 20July. During this transit
our thoughts will be strongly affected by emotions. We are apt to have
clouded communications which are highly subjective. Also, whenever Mercury
changes signs it affects people as if it was a brief Mercury retrograde
period, so be on the alert for miscommunications during this time.
On 6July Mars at 12Leo squares Pluto at 12Scorpio. Be careful of potential
fights and accidents. This especially affects those born on May 2-4 (11-13
Taurus), August 4-6 (11-13 Leo), November 4-6 (11-13 Scorpio), or February 1-3
(11-13 Aquarius). This aspect accentuates stubborn (fixed) energies, and
may be expressed through explosive tempers. Male energy (Mars) is fighting
against the inevitable Pluto reformations, and may potentially blow things up
instead of allowing changes to happen more gradually.
On 7July Mercury at 3Cancer opposes Uranus at 3Capricorn. This aspect is
mentally stimulating, yet arratic. Do not oppose changes, and attempt to
accept and adopt new ideas in the home or at work.
On 9July Venus at 12Leo squares Pluto at 12Scorpio. Relationships may be
upset due to fixed attitudes and stubborn behavior. Past secrets may surface.
Pride may have to be swallowed in order to maintain relationships.
On 10July Mercury at 10Cancer opposes Saturn at 10Capricorn. This aspect
indicates difficult communications and a depressing mental outlook. Plans set
up at this time may not be stable or well-grounded. Since Saturn and Neptune
are still nearly conjunct, each Saturn aspect is often closely followed by a
Neptune aspect. Thus on 11July Mercury at 11Cancer opposes Neptune at
11Capricorn. This aspect contibutes disillusionment and hazy thinking.
It can be great for creative endeavors and imaginative work, but try not to
daydream too much or your insights may never make it back to reality ;-}.
Later on 11July Mercury at 12Cancer trines Pluto at 12Scorpio. This aspect
can yield some highly penetrating and profound thoughts. This is an excellent
day for inventions and discoveries. It also favors long range planning and
insightful thoughts of future reforms or changes.
On 12July Venus conjuncts Mars at 16Leo. The conjunction of the female
(Venus) and male (Mars) influences creates a very sensual and sexy energy
flow today and for some time after. Find your loved ones and cuddle up
closely. Parties of any kind are favored by this fun-loving Leo energy,
and friendships can become generous and rewarding. This aspect realigns
our desire nature (Mars) with our value orientation (Venus). This is a
great time for entertainment of any kind, so go out and have fun ;-}.
Interestingly, the next conjunction of these two planets will occur in about
two years (Mars orbital period) at the very same degree: 16Leo.
On 18July the full moon hits with Moon at 25Capricorn oppose Sun at 25Cancer.
This full moon in cardinal signs will be active, and may involve conflicts
between emotional (Moon) concerns with career ambitions (Capricorn) and
personal (Sun) involvements with home and family (Cancer).
Later on 18July Mercury conjuncts the Sun at 26Cancer. There is apt to be a
lot of talking while this aspect is active. The influences are excellent for
starting new projects, especially if they pertain to home and family, mom, or
plants. This aspect will impart clear thinking concerning emotions (Cancer).
On 20July Mercury enters Leo for a stay until 4August. During this transit we
will have a more creative mental outlook and more dramatic expression of ideas.
Guard against a tendency to be over-opinionated or arrogant.
On 22July, the Sun will transition from Cancer to Leo where it will stay
until 22August. Since this is the Sun's natural sign (Sun rules Leo), this
is the highlight of the year for the expression of ego and personality (Sun).
This can lead to a regal/royal (..pain in the @$$..) type of arrogant attitude
yet it does not hold quite so much egotism as it sounds since Leo also imparts
great generosity, playfulness, and affection towards children. The following
chart highlights this sun-sign transition.

On 22July Pluto turns from retrograde to direct motion at 12Scorpio.
This is the first of the retrograde outer planets to gradually shift its
emphasis from the internalized retrograde energies to an externalized
expression. Each of the outer planets is retrograde only once each year,
and since Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto currently fall within a 60 degree
arc, they have all been retrograde at the same time. We are now approaching
the end of this period of consolidation and introversion, so get ready to
emerge into a new year of forward progress on the deeper aspects of our selves.
Later on 22July Venus at 28Leo sextiles Jupiter at 28Gemini. This aspect
confers creative talent and generous expression of affection.
On 23July Venus enters Virgo for a stay until 17August. During this transit
we will become very discriminating, especially in the analysis of love feelings
and of partner's shortfalls. Try not to over-analyze romance or to constrain
relationships to follow prescribed guidelines. Avoid becoming nit-picky.
On 25July Venus at 02Virgo trines Uranus at 02Capricorn. This aspect will
be stimulating and fun-loving, and may indicate luck in material concerns.
Spontaneous love affairs and new friendships are favored.
On 26July Mercury at 12Leo squares Pluto at 12Scorpio. This aspect brings
intense, secretive, and suspicious thoughts. People tend to be hard-headed
and opinionated. Avoid using coercion in attempts to force ideas on others.
On 30July Jupiter enters Cancer for a long stay until 18August 1990. During
this transit we may cling to the past with idealistic beliefs. Influences are
benevolent and protective, and reproductive fertility is enhanced. If you
overeat during this time then you are sure to retain an unmistakable record
of it hanging around your waist ;-}.
On 31July Venus at 8Scorpio trines Saturn at 8Capricorn. People will take
social responsibilities more seriously, and will be very practical with money.
This aspect can also add structure and direction to artistic pursuits.
On 1August Venus at 10Virgo trines Neptune at 10Capricorn. This is a pleasant
and inspirational aspect, and people are more gentle and compassionate. It is
easy to arouse sympathy in others, and there is a heightened interest in all
things spritual.
The next new moon is in Leo on 1August 1989.
Until then ... rest up and take care of your home and family first (Cancer),
and then prepare for some hot sun and summer fun as the focus gradually shifts
into fun-loving Leo.

Astrology Watch Highlights
==========================
The new moon on 1August in Leo (fixed, fire) provides an opportunity
to really have some fun this summer. This sign relates to the 5th house
(Leo) activities of partying, appreciation of pleasures, affection towards
children, and also imparts a generous attitude. Leo is ruled by the Sun
so there is involvement of the personality/ego with potential for excessive
vanity. Sun-worshippers are in their element and male energies are
emphasized. Leo is fun-loving and playful, but be careful not to tease
the lion or it may turn against you.
As a fixed sign, Leo energies are stable; and as a fire sign the energy is
expressed through actions (fire) rather that through ideas (air), emotions
(water), or things (earth). As a Fixed sign, Leo energies are stable yet
may be stubborn. Over-all this is likely to be the most enjoyable portion
of this summer season.
Using Leo influences, we can enjoy vacations and recreational activities,
play with our children, and express ourselves with ease and pride. You
should guard against too much drama, self-importance, exaggeration or boasting.
To maximize growth during this moon cycle enjoy love affairs, play, have fun,
and shine, shine, shine ;-}.
Also on 1August Venus at 10Virgo trines Neptune at 10Capricorn. This is a
gentle, inspirational, and creative aspect. People are sensitive and kind,
and it is easy to arouse sympathy in others. Spiritual interest is heightened,
along with appreciation of beauty. Romance, boat cruises, and art are favored.
This aspect sets the new moon cycle off to a very appealing and pleasant start.
On 3August Venus at 12Virgo sextiles Pluto at 12Scorpio. This aspect could
excite passions within us with friends or lovers having profound effects on us.
The subdued passions of Venus in Virgo may be brought into the open or even
shocked by the intensely sexual passions arising from Pluto in Scorpio.
Also, new breakthroughs are possible in matters governed by Venus (luxuries,
friendships, women, etc).
Later on 3August Mars enters Virgo for a stay until 19September. Physical or
or male-oriented energies (Mars) will be more favorably expressed when directed
towards attention to detail and service to others (Virgo). Practicality,
prudence and thoroughness are required. People are apt to be a bit nervous
and high-strung.
On 4August the Sun at 12Leo squares Pluto at 12Scorpio. This aspect indicates
power clashes, often with those in a position of authority. With the Sun in
Leo it is likely that a matter of pride or principle may initiate the power
clash. Watch your temper and hold your sharp tongue. Low-key is the key.
Later on 4August Mercury joins Mars and Venus in Virgo for a stay until
26August. With Mercury in Virgo our thoughts turn to details and practical
concerns. Our mental resources are well developed since Mercury rules Virgo.
Projects can be well planned with thorough attention to all phases, yet a
rather conservative approach will probably be adopted.
When Mercury enters Virgo there will be a total of 6 planets in Earth signs
(Mercury{Vir}, Mars{Vir}, Venus{Vir}, Saturn{Cap}, Uranus{Cap}, Neptune {Cap}),
2 planets in Water signs (Jupiter{Can} and Pluto{Sco}), only the Sun{Leo} in
a Fire sign, and no planets at all in Air signs. Venus will soon enter the
Air sign Libra, but shortly thereafter the Sun will enter Virgo, reestablishing
the preponderance of Earth sign planets. Since the planets transiting through
Virgo will trine the slower moving planets in Capricorn and will sextile the
planets in Water signs, this sets up a rather harmonious celestial backdrop
during this moon cycle. However, the practicality and conservatism of Earth
sign influences may become limiting, depressing, or boring to many of us if
we don't stay in touch with our own "unbearable lightness of being" ;-}.
On August 5th and 6th, Mercury and Mars are conjunct at 01Virgo after both
planets form sextiles to Jupiter at 01Cancer, and before both planets for
trines to Uranus at 02Capricorn. With Mercury conjunct Mars our mental and
physical energies blend together well. Detailed work and service (Virgo) are
favored. Watch out for opinions which are a bit too strong or a compulsion
to talk only about your own point of view.
With Mercury sextile Jupiter we can effectively initiate communications for
new projects, and Mars sextile Jupiter indicates a great time for taking some
action on new projects. Especially favored are projects involving either
Cancerian activities such as home projects, domestic animals, and food, or
Virgo activities related to health changes and a service orientation.
With Mercury in Virgo trine Uranus in Capricorn we can generate ambitious new
ideas upon a conservative ground-work, and Mars trine Uranus indicates that we
may be motivated to provide physical energy and work to implement the ideas.
These aspects favor land deals, contracts, science, and health discoveries
concerning bones or teeth (Capricorn/Saturn). The Mercury trine will help us
to feel bright and alert today, but some of the things we say may be very
surprising and possibly hostile. The Mars trine leads to impulsiveness and
explosive urges so try to channel aggressiveness into constructive pursuits.
On 8August Jupiter at 02Cancer opposes Uranus at 02Capricorn. Watch out for
too much optimism today, and be sure to read the fine print very carefully.
This aspect adds energy, optimism, and benevolence ... which may be foolhardy.
Everything may seem to be going your way today, but don't take it for granted.
On 9August Mercury at 08Virgo trines Saturn at 08Capricorn which indicates
practical and stable thinking patterns. Ideas tend to be conservative and
goal-oriented, yet steady progress is achievable. This aspect imparts a keen
sense of what is practical and workable and what is not.
On 11August Mercury at 10Virgo trines Neptune at 10Capricorn. This aspect
turns our thoughts toward art, dreams, or music. Thoughts are sensitive and
flow smoothly. Artists will find inspiration, but those working with facts
and figures may find them a bit muddled today. On 12August Mercury at 12Virgo
sextiles Pluto at 12Scorpio indicating that creative ideas could lead to
reforms in established plans.
On 15August Mars at 08Virgo trines Saturn at 08Capricorn. This is an
excellent time for solid consertive efforts towards short or long term goals.
Our energies can be effectively focussed and disciplined with enhanced stamina
to complete difficult or boring tasks.
On 16August the full moon is exact with the Moon at 23Aquarius (fixed air)
opposed to the Sun at 23Leo (fixed fire). This full moon warns of emotional
detachment due to excessive pride and ego. Don't be the roaring lion today.
The emotional moon in the mentally fixed sign Aquarius will persistently
challenge any vanity or self-interest expressed by the sun in Leo. Since
fire energy is apt to become aggressive, Aquarian challenges may get Leo's
back up, and once disagreements arise they will compounded by a tendency
for stubbornness from the fixed nature of both influences. Try to side-step
these types of arguments before they become polarized.
This full moon is also a lunar eclipse (when the shadow of the earth passes
across the moon) which further accentuates the sense of completion or climax
which accompanies full moon influences.
On 17August Venus enters Libra until 12September. Relationships, sensitivity,
fairness, and appreciation of beauty gain importance within our personal sense
of values. Since Venus rules Libra there is a natural affinity expressed
during this transit, and the air sign influences result in many new ideas.
On 19August Mars at 10Virgo trines Neptune at 10Capricorn. Our creative
energies flow smoothly, and our interests may be diverted to spiritual,
artistic or nautical pursuits. We are likely to experience pleasant dreams,
and there is strong potential for utilizing our imagination in the role of
creator to realize our images in tangible terms (Neptune in Capricorn).
Motives (Mars) may seem muddled (Neptune) and energies (Mars) may be quickly
diffused (Neptune) so extend yourself into the creative flow instead of trying
to carry on business as usual.
Later on 19August Venus at 02Libra squares Uranus at 02Capricorn. Don't fight
(Uranus) with friends and partners (Venus in Libra) over career or business
restrictions (Capricorn). Unexpected events could occur in relationships.
On 21August Venus at 04Libra squares Jupiter at 04Cancer. This mild aspect
may indicate overindulgence of food, drink, and/or spending money. While this
may make us feel benevolent and happy, it can drain the family funds (Cancer).
This is a good aspect for a party since people are friendly and outgoing.
On 22August the Sun will transition from Leo to Virgo until 22September.
This will signify the entrance into the adaptable (mutable) portion of the
summer season, and the Virgo emphasis will redirect our efforts towards
service, work, and health issues. With the Sun in Virgo people are likely
to be very meticulous (especially about cleanliness), more practical, and
more analytical with a tendency towards nit-picking criticality, yet this
is an excellent time to initiate task which require extreme attention to
detail. The following chart highlights this sun-sign transition.

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

On 23August Mars at 12Virgo sextiles Pluto at 12Scorpio bringing intense
and profound sexual energies to the forefront. This is also an opportunity
to accomplish a great deal of work using assertive energies. Reforms for
the expression of aggressive energies is highlighted, and sports may provide
an appropriate outlet for certain repressed aggressions. Try not to impose
reforms on other people, however, or it may backfire on you.
On 24August Venus at 08Libra squares Saturn at 08Capricorn. Depressing
career or business limitations could put a damper on relationships or
partnerships. Someone may take pleasue in revealing obligations which you
may have shirked. Try to maintain a light attitude.
Later on 24August the Sun at 02Virgo trines Uranus at 02Capricorn. Forceful
changes may be enacted purposefully, or may come by surprise. You may feel
restricted at work and want to break free. Health break-throughs are possible.
On 26August Mercury enters Libra for a stay until 26September at which time
it backs into Virgo again in retrograde motion. Mercury in Libra gives us
an ability to reason about issues and to see both sides clearly. For just
this reason we are apt to be indecisive or non-committal. Our thoughts
turn towards keeping the peace, and attempting to balance biased ideas.
Also on 26August Venus at 10Libra squares Neptune at 10Capricorn. Avoid
indulgences and self-pity today. Beware of being swept into depression and
emotional confusion. Watch the road carefully and don't daydream while driving.
On 27August Mercury at 02Libra squares Uranus at 02Capricorn. Allow for
delays resulting from unexpected events. There may be thunder and lightning
in communications relating to business or partnerships.
On 28August the Sun at 05Virgo sextiles Jupiter at 05Cancer. Be prepared
to capitalize on opportunities which may present themselves in real-estate,
home renovation, or family issues. You may be able to accomplish a great
deal today if you don't let some minor details sidetrack you. You may also
be faced with some delectable culinary delights which tempt you to ditch
your diet ;-}.
On 29August Mercury at 05Libra squares Jupiter at 05Cancer. Watch out for
plans which may be too expansive or expensive. This aspect confers a happy
disposition and generous nature, which is certainly pleasant but may distract
you from those things which are in your best interests now.
On 30August the Sun at 07Virgo trines Saturn at 07Capricorn. Gains may be
achieved through hard and disciplined work. This is a serious day for
getting much work accomplished and fulfillin obligations. Try to follow
practical actions based upon careful planning.
The next new moon is in Virgo on 31August 1989, and it is a solar eclipse.
Until then ... transcend the seriousness of the big three in Capricorn
(Saturn, Uranus, Neptune) with the playfulness of the hot Leo Sun by
redirecting your career ambitions (Capricorn) towards some serious work
on your tan ;-}.

Astrology Watch Highlights
==========================
The new moon on 31August in Virgo (Mutable,Earth) provides an opportunity
to clean up any messes which have been piling up. Virgo relates to the 6th
activities of work, service, health/hygiene, and attention to detail.
The partial solar eclipse which accompanies this new moon at 8'Virgo will
accentuate the effects of the start of this moon cycle, and may spur us to
initiate new actions. Typically there are 2 solar eclipses per year, so
each serves as an focal energy point for a period of about 6 months.
Virgo is ruled by Mercury, which influences our thinking patterns. Virgo is
an earth sign, however, so the thoughts are applied in a logical and practical
form. As a mutable sign Virgo influences are adaptable, but can become
very critical and nit-picky. A great deal of practical work can be done
during this Virgo moon cycle.
Notice that there are no planets in Fire signs at the start of this moon
cycle while there are 6 planets in Earth signs. All of these Earth sign
planets indicate that there will be many nice trines between the Virgo and
Capricorn planets, yet the Earthy influences may be a bit too serious and
practical to excite our spiritual yearnings.
This month all three of the retrograde outer planets turn to direct motion
(Uranus at 01Cap on 9Sept, Saturn at 07Cap on 11Sept, and Neptune at 10Cap on
20Sept). This indicates that a period of internal assimilation of the forces
of change (Uranus), control (Saturn), and insight (Neptune) is now complete,
and these forces will gradually be revealed through external expressions.
Mercury turns retrograde at 11Libra on 11Sept, backs into Virgo on 26Sept,
and returns direct on 3Oct. Communications are already beginning to falter,
and miscommunication will escalate when Mercury turns retrograde. Delays
will crop up in many areas. Try to avoid signing contracts or initiating
sensitive communications. This is a good time for reassessing old ideas
but not so good for initiating new ideas since you may not be accurately
grasping the context.
While transiting through Libra Mercury hits some nasty squares to Uranus,
Saturn, and Neptune in Capricorn three times, first direct, then retrograde,
and then finally (during the next Moon cycle) in direct motion again.
These squares may upset our thinking patterns, and particularly the square
to Saturn may lead to a depressive turn of mind. Mercury also squares Jupiter
in Cancer, yet this is not a harsh aspect, and may indicate requirements for
more communications in the home. Mercury also conjuncts Mars in Libra adding
mental energy, yet be careful of applying it freely since Mercury may be
misguided when retrograde.
On 2Sept the Sun at 10Virgo trines Neptune at 10Capricorn. Psychic energy
is heightened, and there is potential for creating tangible results from our
imagination. Insights may be of a practical nature, daydreaming is likely.
On 5September the Sun at 13Virgo sextiles Pluto at 13Scorpio. This is an
energizer of sorts, but possibly due to circumstances which force us to exert
our maximal efforts. Energy expenditures with little return may be disposed
of in deference to major efforts requiring destruction and regeneration.
On 10Sept Jupiter at 07Cancer opposes Saturn at 07Capricorn. This aspect
pits the heavyweight malefic planet (Saturn) against the comparably heavyweight
benefic planet (Jupiter) in a dynamic tension reminiscent of an evenly
matched arm-wrestling contest. Jupiter encourages expansion in the context of
home and family (Cancer) while Saturn imposes retrictions based upon career
aspirations (Capricorn). As in an arm-wrestling contest, if either side wins
then it is likely to be an abrupt and decisive event. To master the great
energy provided by this aspect we must equilobrate and focus the dynamic
tension without allowing it to be released in counterproductive ways (such as
quitting our job or leaving our family).
On 11September Mercury goes retrograde, so turn down your jets, allow for
delays, and reconsider any thoughts which seem inspired. Keep it simple.
On 12September Venus enters Scorpio for a stay until 8October. As it
transits through Scorpio Venus will form sextiles with Uranus, Saturn and
Neptune in Capricorn, and a trine with Jupiter in Cancer. Hopefully these
extremely favorable aspects will prepare us for the difficult conjunction
of Venus with Pluto on 23September.
An emotional full Moon in the Water sign Pisces (opposed to Sun in Virgo) is
exact on 15September. The Moon in Pisces is very sensitive and emotions can
be bruised easily. While these signs are mutable, showing potential for
resolution of conflicts, Pisces rules the 12th house of secrets and self-
undoing so we may end up creating these conflicts for ourselves. Don't
attempt to solve emotional problems intellectually since Mercury retrograde
may rampantly misinterpret the motives behind emotions.
Also on 19September Mars transits from Virgo to Libra for a stay until
4November. Fiery Mars can become inflamed in the Air sign Libra which
opposes Mars' own sign Aries. More energy will be put into our relationships,
and if this energy can be controlled then many mutually beneficial compromises
may be achieved.
On 22September, the Sun will transition from Virgo to Libra until 23October.
This will signify the entrance into the active (cardinal) initiating portion
of the fall season. This day is also called the Autumnal Equinox, and is a
day when daytime hours equal nighttime hours (12) all over the world. The
Libra emphasis will redirect our efforts towards relationships (Libra is the
natural 7th house of complementary partners, and is ruled by Venus). Libra
is associated with balance in all forms. This is not a static balancing act,
however, but a dynamic oscillation which strives for a balanced equilibrium.
Libra can be very indecisive since both sides of an issue are weighed. Libra
energy is very communicative, but may relinquish too much of one's self in
order to please someone else. This is an excellent time to work on your
relationships. The following chart highlights this sun-sign transition.

Duality Feminine Masculine

Planet Mercury Venus

On 23September Mercury conjuncts Mars at 03Libra. Communications will be
forceful and direct, which may be a bit harsh in the context of relationships.
Watch what you say since anger may be met with anger and you may regret it.
Also on 23September Venus conjuncts Pluto at 13Scorpio. This may release
some intense and profound sexual impulses, and can serve to reform our values
an our concepts of love and relationships. Pluto reforms may not be pleasant,
but they can destroy all outdated concepts to allow for a phase of regeneration
which starts anew. These reforms be initiated by exposure of secrets.
On 24September the Sun at 01Libra squares Uranus at 01Capricorn. The Sun
also conjuncts Mercury on the same day, and Mercury then squares Uranus too.
This indicates challenges due to unexpected events which may require us to
adopt new ideas. Accidents are more likely, so watch out for the other guy.
On 26September Mercury retrograde enters Virgo for a stay until 11Oct leading
our thoughts from relationships (Libra) back to detail work and health (Virgo).
On 29September the Sun conjuncts Mars at 06Libra. This is a real energizer
with a possibility for over-aggression. Athletic prowess is at its height,
and athletic outlets are highly recommended for burning off excess energy.
The next new moon is in Libra on 29September 1989.
Until then ... prepare to adopt a "Don't Worry Be Happy" attitude as Mercury
turns retrograde. If you let your life find its own pace instead of trying to
force it to an accelerated speed then you can stay happy and healthy.

Astrology Watch Highlights
==========================
The new moon on 29September in Libra (cardinal air) provides an opportunity
to mend relationships which may have become imbalanced. Libra relates to the
7th house concerns of relationships, partners, compromise and balance. Libra
is ruled by Venus, which relates to our expressions of love and our sense of
values. Libra is an air sign, however, so love is expressed through ideas and
communications, as opposed to more earthy and hedonistic love expressions
associated with the fixed earth sign Taurus (which is also ruled by Venus).
As a cardinal sign Libra energies actively engage in a balancing act which
results in a dynamic equilibrium as opposed to a static steady-state. Libra
energy can quickly identify fair compromises, yet Libra imparts an urge to
please and so may give away too much of 'self' in order to keep the peace.
Also on 29Sept the Sun conjuncts Mars at 06Libra. This will clearly color
the initiation of this new Moon cycle by imparting a strong new boost of
energy into our relationships. Mars rules Libra's opposite sign Aries
(cardinal fire) suggesting that if this new cardinal (active) energy is not
controlled then it could become enflamed and result in anger. However, with
both Mars and the Sun in Libra there is great potential for reaching fair
compromises between our desires and directions and those of others.
On 30Sept the Sun at 07Libra squares Saturn at 07Capricorn, and since the
Sun and Mars are nearly conjunct, Mars at 08Libra squares Saturn at 08Capricorn
the next day (1Oct) ... so don't step out of your house ;-}. With the Sun and
Mars square Saturn our energies may be impeded or fizzle out, and any forced
issues are likely to result in equal force opposition. Try to remain low-key
to avoid the negative expressions of these aspects.
Also on 1Oct Jupiter at 10Cancer opposes Neptune at 10Capricorn. This
aspect will be active for several days before and after the exact aspect,
and indicates that our expansiveness and feelings of luck may be deluded
due to unrecognized or nebulous influences at work. Don't count on your
luck during this period, since it may not come through as expected. Many
expansive insights may be forthcoming, yet defer and reconsider any actions
based upon these insights until after this aspect has passed.
The Jupiter/Neptune opposition sets up a polarity at 10Cancer/10Capricorn
which is squared by the Sun at 10Libra on 2Oct, by Mars at 10Libra on 4Oct,
and later by Mercury at 10Libra on 18Oct. The Neptune squares contribute
challenges resulting from delusion, dreaminess, creativity, or dissipation of
energies. The Jupiter squares indicate challenges due to overexpansion, or
expansion into areas which are not productive, or an over-competitive attitude.
On 3Oct Mercury at 26Virgo returns to direct motion. Thankfully we will
all be able to breath a sigh of relief as Mercury begins its forward progress
over the next few days. This has been a rather difficult Mercury retrograde
period for many due to the transiting Mercury retrograde squares to the three
major outer planets in practical and career-oriented Capricorn. If you have
not experienced work-related frustrations and delays and difficulty expressing
yourself clearly then consider yourself lucky ... and check yourself for signs
of life ;-}. Mercury will remain in its own sign Virgo for just a week until
it transits into Libra on 11Oct for a stay until 20Oct. The one week of
Virgo influences should be very helpful for restablishing some semblance of
organization in our thoughts and tasks. Once this becomes under control then
our concerns will be able to shift to more personal and interactive Libran
communications.
On 4Oct Mercury at 26Virgo squares Venus at 26Scorpio. This is a relatively
mild square between inner planets and has a relatively brief effect of putting
our communications and expressions at cross-purposes to our sense of values
and appreciation of beauty. Choose your day's attire the night before ;-}.
On 8Oct Venus enters Sagittarius for a stay until 5Nov. The Sagittarian
influence imparts a freedom-loving devil-may-care attitude. This is a great
time for parties and philosophical friendships, but be careful since people
may say what is on their mind with total disregard for the effects on others.
Keep your feet out of your mouth and you should have fun ;-}.
On 12Oct Mercury at 02Libra squares Uranus at 02Capricorn. Watch your tongue
since Uranus may sharpen it to a razor-fine point, and try to find appropriate
outlets for excess nervous mental energy.
On 14Oct the full moon is exact with the Moon at 21Aries opposed to the Sun
at 21Libra. Keep your teeth tightly clenched on your tongue at all times
today ;-}. This is an active and emotionally agressive full Moon which
suggests that relationships may lead to disharmony. Go for a walk alone.
Reflect on new feelings concerning relationships and try to dismiss old
attitudes and look at your situation with new eyes.
On 17Oct Mercury 08Libra squares Sat 08Capricorn, and on the following day
Mercury at 10Libra squares Neptune at 10Capricorn and Jupiter at 10Cancer.
These aspects could make us seem a bit mentally deranged since we will first
encounter a bout with depression, followed by a dose of disillusionment, and
finally capped off by a compelling urge to expand in the face of restrictive
influences. If this fits within your normal acceptable range of expression
then no special care is needed ;-}, but otherwise try to look beyond your
current restrictions and internalize the assurance that the problems will
pass in time. Don't let your own thought processes get you down.
On 20Oct Mercury at 13Libra sextiles Venus at 13Sagittarius. This aspect
is mild and pleasant, and encourages idealistic and philsophical discussions
about our sense of values, love and relationships.
On 23October, the Sun will transition from Libra to Scorpio until 22November.
This will signify our entrance into the stable (fixed) portion of the fall
season. The Scorpio emphasis will redirect our efforts towards the 8th house
concerns of sex, death (with rebirth), and other people's money. An apt
descriptive phrase for the fixed water sign Scorpio is "Still waters run deep".
The following chart highlights this sun-sign transition.
Libra Scorpio
---------- ----------
Duality Masculine Feminine
Element Air Water
Quality Cardinal Fixed
Planet Venus Pluto (co-ruler Mars)
Keyword 'I Balance' 'I Desire'
Polarity Aries Taurus
Body Parts Lower back Genitals
Animals Snakes, lizards Insects, crustaceans
On 25Oct the Sun at 02Virgo sextiles Uranus at 02Capricorn. This highlights
practical new discoveries and useful new inventions, likely to be work-related.
On 27Oct Mercury conjuncts Mars at 25Libra. This aspect encourages dynamic
and forceful communications, which may become antagonistic. However, with
both planets in Libra disagreements should be of an intellectual nature, and
people should be receptive to compromise or may agree to disagree.
On 28Oct Jupiter at 11Cancer turns retrograde until 24Feb90. This is not
a good period to buy a new house or property or to build additions onto your
current property. In fact you should reconsider expansion of any kind.
Instead you should attempt to complete and consolidate your current efforts
in preparation for a new wave of expansion beginning in Mar90.
The next new moon is in Scorpio on 29October 1989.
Until then ... rejoice in your new expressive freedom following Mercury's
return to direct motion, but keep a lid on it during those days when Mercury
makes harsh aspects to the big three in Capricorn.

| ...for Moon gazers, the following is a chart which includes
the zenith time (the time when the Sun and the Moon are highest
in the sky). This is for the remainder of October 1989.
This was compiled from a program I wrote which calculates
the number of hours visible and the zenith time from the
rise and set times. Also noted is the *astronomical* constellation
that the Moon is in and how many days old the Moon is on that day.
Please note that due to the procession of the constellations,
the astronomical constellation will differ from the astrological
constellation.
As the months proceed, I can place the charts as they come up.
However, if people don't think this is usefull or it winds up
being too confusing let me know. I'd also like to know whether
the calculations I have made are correct. From my observations
it seems pretty accurate, however, it is best scrutinized by
more people.
Also note, that these are calculated based on Eastern Standard Time
(EST). Add one hour for Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) or as some call
it, Daylight Savings Time (DST), until we go back to EST on the 29th.
Enjoy!
Regards,
Sergei

Astrology Watch Highlights
==========================
The new moon on 29October in Scorpio (fixed water) provides an opportunity
to rebuild and stabilize your emotions. Scorpio is ruled by Pluto (reform,
rebirth) and relates to 8th house concerns of sex, death with rebirth, and
other people's money. As a fixed sign, Scorpio energies are stable yet often
stubborn and relentless, and thus as a water sign it is associated with the
most persistent and tenacious emotions. As with other water signs (Cancer,
Pisces) Scorpio energies can be sensitive to insult, however the negative form
of reaction does not manifest as depression (Cancer) or insecurity (Pisces)
but rather may be harbored and expressed as fuming, resentment, or possibly
malevolence. Scorpio is associated with the genitals and imparts strong
sensual/sexual overtones. Psychic faculties are also sensitized in Scorpio.
Since Pluto is transiting through Scorpio now, all Scorpio/Pluto effects will
be heightened during this moon cycle. The way to maximize your growth during
this new moon cycle is to avoid clinging to your emotional baggage, and allow
Pluto energies to destroy all unnecessary emotional attachments of the past.
Problems will arise only if you fight against Pluto's natural process of
winnowing out obsolete emotional attachments.
On 30October Mercury enters Scorpio for a stay until 17November. With Mercury
in Scorpio our communications can become imbued with deep emotion. Our mental
position may be unwavering and stubborn, and may be presented forcefully and
relentlessly. During this time we may become fascinated with thoughts of life
after death or other occult topics, and profound insights may be revealed.
This transit is generally favorable for joint financial resources.
On 1-3 November the Sun at 9-11 Scorpio first sextiles Saturn at 09Capricorn
and Neptune at 10Capricorn, and then trines Jupiter at 11Cancer. The Saturn
trine imparts an orderly state of mind and self-discipline excellent for
constructive work. The Neptune trine is mystical, meditative, and dreamy,
and makes us very sensitive to the situations of others. The Jupiter trine is
a universally positive aspect which brings us enthusiasm, optimism, and luck!
On 4November Mars enters Scorpio for a stay until 18December. During this
time our sexuality is highly stimulated, and has an intense and transforming
quality. Also during this transit our ego drives may create confrontations
with others which may force some kind of transformation in our lives.
Conflicts may involve shared property or joint finances.
On 5November Venus enters Capricorn for a stay until 10December. Venus is
weighted down by Capricorn's practicality, ambition, and willingness to
sacrifice current rewards for eventual potential successes. However,
professional and business activites can work harmoniously, and it is a good
time to redecorate at work. Older more mature people may be regarded as
the most attractive now.
Later on 5November Mercury transits the same route that the Sun did 4 days
earlier by first sextiling Saturn and Neptune, and then trining Jupiter.
Mercury sextile Saturn imparts a clear mind and good judgement so use this
time to prepare future plans. Mercury sextile Neptune heightens intuitive
awareness and intellectual cleverness. Mercury trine Jupiter indicates
interesting and rewarding work, and beneficial communications with others.
On 7November the Sun conjuncts Pluto at 15Scorpio. This aspect may bring
intense experiences which force us to to become involved. We may have to
repair either a posession (eg. car) or a situation which has broken down to
the point that it must change radically in order to continue.
Later on 7November Venus at 2-3 Capricorn first sextiles Mars at 2Scorpio,
and then conjuncts Uranus at 03Capricorn. Venus sextile Mars is a pleasant
and potentially romantic aspect allowing us to easily express our feelings.
With Mars in Scorpio this could be steamy! Venus conjunct Uranus indicates
excitement and unpredictability in our love lives when we may be attracted
to a new love interest, and with Venus in Capricorn the new love may be
someone older or someone met through work.
On 8November Mars at 03Scorpio sextiles Uranus at 03Capricorn. Unexpected
events may cause either disruption or inspiration. Your desires may be
surprisingly fulfilled, and you could enjoy success with almost anything that
you seriously attempt. Drive carefully now.
Later on 8November Mercury conjuncts Pluto at 15Scorpio. Be subtle with your
communications. Don't try to force people or it could lead to resentment.
Be a reformer, not a dictator.
On 10November Mercury conjuncts the Sun at 18Scorpio lending us effective
self-expression. We will gain abundant mental energy allowing us to pay close
attention to details. A short trip may be enjoyable now.
On 13November a full moon in Taurus opposes the Sun in Scorpio and presents
a fixed and potentially intense influence which will persist for several days
following the exact sun-moon opposition. This may indicate hard work for
little gain. Sexual energy is heightened. Don't enter into arguments now
because no one will win.
Later on 13November Saturn conjuncts Neptune at 10Capricorn. This is the
third and final time that this major conjunction occurs, which suggests that
the old Saturn-Neptune cycle will finally be fully cleared away and the new
cycle will have begun. The Saturn conjunct Neptune aspect indicates steady
concentration and mastery of psychological focus. This is extremely favorable
for meditation with an increased capacity for practical (Saturn) visualization
(Neptune). Saturn adds structure to Neptunian visons, music and arts, which
can be effectively utilized for creative visualation. Emotional depression
may arise at this time from subconscious anxieties based upon memories of past
relationships. These memories should be faced honestly so they don't lead to
irrational fears and anxieties. Avoid brooding and self-pity. Uncertainties
or deceptions (Neptune) may arise in business or partnerships (Saturn), yet
money may be made through art, music, or cultural institutions. Also, people
may be on either the giving or receiving end of secret (Neptune) investigations
(Saturn). This major aspect initiates a new 30+ year cycle involving Saturn
and Neptune, and since it occurs in Capricorn it may usher in a period where
the results of psychic visualization become tangible. This could be the
identifiable beginning of a New Age where people acknowledge and practice
creation of their own realities.
Also on 13November a rather rare event occurs involving the void-of-course
moon period. The moon in Taurus becomes void-of-course at 3:25AM (ie. forms
its last major aspect from Taurus) and enters Gemini at 3:19PM. However,
during its entire transit through the sign Gemini it will not form a single
major aspect, and will thus remain void-of-course until 15November at 3:52PM
when it enters Cancer, a total of over 60 hours! The reason that the moon
forms no Major aspects (conjunction/0, sextile/60, square/90, trine/120,
opposition/180) in Gemini is because all other planets are in signs which
form only Minor aspects relative to Gemini (Scorpio-inconjunct/150, Capricorn-
inconjunct/150, Cancer-semi-sextile/30). In any case, this void-of-course
moon period will be extensive, and will require extraordinary reserve to
keep from acting upon or committing to major new decisions, to refrain from
purchasing major new items, and to attempt to proceed according to original
plans when they may have fallen into total disarray. However, if used
constructively, this period can provide an opportunity to explore many
alternatives for breaking down any established habits or vices, including our
habitual ways of thinking about things ... just don't count on using this time
for forward progress or you may be surprised.
The only other advice to handle this prolonged void-of-course period is
simply to wait it out. Don't feel forced to decide something too early, or
buy something right now. If you do then you will invariably be presented with
more attractive options or finally realize the full implications of your
purchases/decisions after 15November. Void-of-course moon periods don't have
to be all bad, of course, but they will have some unexpected twists, and
decisions made during this time are unlikely to come to fruition in the way
intended. One of our favorite simple examples of a void-of-course moon
decision occurred when we decided to go to a movie one afternoon. When we
arrived at the theater we found that we had been looking at the prior week's
theater schedule, and the movie we expected to see had already left the
theater. However, the movie that WAS playing was one that we may not have
gone out of our way to see, but one which we thoroughly enjoyed, probably more
than we would have enjoyed the intended movie. You have to be able to go with
the flow to effectively capitalize on these void-of-course periods .. being on
vacation would probably help too ;-}
On 14November Jupiter at 10Cancer opposes both Saturn and Neptune at
10Capricorn. Jupiter oppose Saturn may lead to vacillation and doubt of
goals and ambitions. This is an evenly matched face-off between expansive
and restrictive influences, and since Jupiter is retrograde, Saturn's
limiting effects may dominate externally while Jupiter's optimism and
expansion may be more active internally. Jupiter oppose Neptune indicates
a conflict between reality and idealism which may expose things which were
previously hidden, and may lead to misunderstandings. These three planets
create a very powerful polarity between Capricorn (work) and Cancer (home),
suggesting that these difficult aspects can be mastered if we effectively
arrive at a reasonable balance between work and home in our lives.
On 15November Venus gets involved with yesterday's major planetary players
by conjuncting Neptune and Saturn at 10Capricorn, and opposing Jupiter at
10Cancer. Venus conjunct Neptune indicates a creative and romantic time
which may be enhanced if we can extend beyond the practicality of Capricorn
to enjoy the aspect more fully. Use of drugs or meditative states may also
be highlighted. Venus conjunct Saturn is not much fun, but can be effectively
utilized to make plans for future parties or practical redecoration. Don't
throw your parties now though, because Venus conjunct Saturn could throw a
wet blanket over the affair. Venus oppose Jupiter indicates extravagance,
indulgence, exaggeration, and wasted time ... but we deserve it today ;-}.
On 17November Mercury enters Sagittarius for a stay until 7December.
This will feel like a large load taken off of our minds when the serious
and deep Scorpio thoughts are replaced by the free-spirited laissez-faire
attitudes of Sagittarius. We will become more interested in higher-learning
and open philosophical discussions, but we must be careful to maintain at
least some control over what we choose to express openly or we will end up
with both feet squarely in our mouths, and other people may become offended.
On 19-20November Mars at 10-11Capricorn adds its energy into this month's
most influential configuration by trining Jupiter, sextiling Neptune, and then
sextiling Saturn. Mars trine Jupiter indicates rapid progress on projects at
work or at home, and the possibility that our desires and ego concerns may
be pleasantly satisfied. Mars sextile Neptune may spur changes which can lead
to excitement, and heightens our intuition concerning our own goals and drives.
With Mars sextile Saturn our work will go smoothly if it is properly planned.
On 21November Venus at 15Capricorn sextiles Pluto at 15Scorpio. Our love
life or affective nature may undergo somewhat radical yet contructive reforms.
As with all sextile aspects we must take the initiative or it may not happen.
Don't just sit at home today .. go out dancing or something!
On 22November the Sun will transition from Scorpio to Sagittarius for a stay
until 21December. This transition will signify our entrance into the mutable
(changable) portion of the fall season. The Sagittarian emphasis will redirect
our efforts towards the 9th house concerns of philosophy, higher education,
and travel, and will impart a free-spirited and laissez-faire attitude.
Sagittarian energy is aptly characterized as a care-free and happy wanderer.
The Sun's entrance into Sagittarius (ruled by Jupiter) will certainly lighten
up most people's hearts following a deeply emotional excursion through Scorpio.
The following chart highlights this sun-sign transition.

On November 27th Mars conjuncts Pluto at 16Scorpio. Scorpio is ruled by
Pluto and Mars is a co-ruler so this is a very powerful and influential
aspect. Some may abuse their power over others in a forceful and dominating
way, which will be likely met with resistance and resentment. Sexual energies
are incredibly potent now and may have a profound transforming quality.
Private personal matters may be difficult to handle now.
The next new moon is in Sagittarius on 28November 1989.
Until then ... get ready for what may be a new age as Saturn conjuncts
Neptune for the last time and initiates an exciting new 30+ year cycle of
adding structure to our most inspirational visions! Now more than ever we
may be able to create our own reality to an extent we never thought possible!
As a theme song for a new age we vote for the song by Michael Hedges called
"You Can Be A Dreamer":
"You can be a dreamer, you can be your dreams come true;
just let imagination lead, reality will follow through."
Lisa and Todd

Astrology Watch Highlights
==========================
The new moon on 28November in Sagittarius (mutable fire) provides us with
opportunities to explore the world around us, and in the process, to expand
our own personal philosophies. Sagittarius is ruled by benefic Jupiter
(expansion) and relates to the 9th house concerns of philosophy, higher
learning, travel, and exploration. As a mutable sign, Sagittarian energies
are flexible, and are characterized by a care-free laissez-faire attitude.
As with other fire signs (Aries, Leo) Sagittarian energies are associated with
dynamic and fast-moving activities, and can seem insensitive to the feelings
of those who move a bit more slowly. Sagittarian expressions can often appear
to be out-of-control, and eccentric actions may be undertaken for their shock
value alone .. usually all in fun ;-}. During this Moon cycle don't ask
anyone for their opinion about anything unless you truly want to know, because
the Sagittarian "who cares what anyone else thinks" attitude could yield some
very blunt and startling responses.
The new moon in Sagittarius also indicates interest in foreign affairs, and
may provide some new and expansive concepts relating to world peace. Pursue
your holiday partying with a passion now ;-}, before the more somber Capricorn
influences begin to dominate by the end of December. As more planets transit
into Capricorn, individuals become more aware of their own sense of structure
and of their ego concerns. People are likely to place more emphasis on work,
including acceptance of added responsibilities and more concern for long-range
planning. The way to maximize your growth during this Sagittarian new moon
cycle is to lighten up your attitude and freely explore new fields which you
find interesting and emotionally rewarding.
On 7December Mercury enters Capricorn for a stay until 12February90. This is
an unusually long period for Mercury to remain in a single sign, and is the
result of an upcoming Mercury retrograde period starting on 30December where
Mercury backs up and then starts forward again all within the sign Capricorn.
Mercury in Capricorn confers orderly and structured thought processes which
are likely to be applied toward career development interests. Much can be
accomplished during this transit. We may be faced with restrictions on our
free-thinking or added responsibilities at work. In either case we are likely
to be mentally challenged by ourselves or by others. Mercury's energies will
be especially highlighted when it forms conjunctions with the three major
planets currently transiting through Capricorn (Uranus, Neptune, and Saturn).
During this Mercury transit through Capricorn it is important to avoid falling
into workaholic patterns which may adversely impact your home life. Home and
family energies inherent in Capricorn's complementary sign Cancer are now being
activated by Jupiter's transit of Cancer, and these energies should be called
upon to balance the Capricorn ambitions. For a serious case of workaholism
you could actually utilize Mercury in Capricorn influences to effectively
_schedule_ adequate time for you to spend with your family.
On 10December Mercury conjuncts Uranus at 04Capricorn. Exciting conversations
which may be accompanied by a slip of the tongue or two are highlighted today.
Listen to inspirational new twists on some old out-dated concepts, especially
at work or in regards to practical concerns and goals.
Later on 10December Venus enters Aquarius for a stay until 16January90 when
it returns into Capricorn during a period of retrograde motion which begins
on 30December. Venus in Aquarius stimulates a more detached and intellectual
approach to love, and may be accompanied by more idealistic affection for
'humanity' than for any individual person. We may have difficulty empathizing
with the emotional problems of others since we may concern ourselves only with
the big picture and overlook significant personal issues. Group activities
and humanitarian causes will have more of an attraction for us now.
On 12December the Moon is Full at 21Gemini in opposition to the Sun at
21Sagittarius. With this full moon in Mutable signs we can be adaptable
but the flammability of the fire-air dichotomy may make us wired or edgy.
With the inherent duality of Gemini being highly activated we will probably
see schizophrenia in full bloom today. We may feel compelled to talk (or
more aptly, chatter) today, and aimless travel may be desired.
Also on 12December Mercury at 08Capricorn opposes Jupiter at 08Cancer. We
are apt to spend too much money on frivolous purchases or overlook important
details today. We enjoy optimistic feelings, but we should be careful not
to become too cocky by relying only on our luck or we may be disappointed.
Early on 15December Mercury conjuncts Neptune at 11Capricorn, and then the
next day Mercury conjuncts Saturn at 14Capricorn. Mercury conjunct Neptune
brings extreme sensitivity, vivid imagination, and strong intuition. It can
be difficult for the mind to sort reality from illusion until Saturn dispels
our fantasies by showing us the sober truth and making our thoughts and
expressions more logical. Try not to use drugs or alcohol or other escapist
tendencies during the Mercury-Neptune conjunction because you will be forced
to face reality anyway when Mercury conjuncts Saturn, so you might as well
deal straight with reality from the start. Try to avoid depressing Saturnian
thoughts by calling upon your Neptunian sensitivity and intuition to bring
some perspective to your current problems and provide insightful solutions.
On 17December Mars enters Sagittarius for a stay until 29Jan90. This transit
is great for sports lovers, and for those who are planning to travel. If you
are traveling, keep your plans flexible and allow ample time to simply wander.
During this transit we become more friendly, optimistic, enthusiastic,
impulsive, and independent. Physical outlets will likely be needed to expend
our increased energy and vitality.
On 19December Mercury at 17Capricorn sextiles Pluto at 17Scorpio. This aspect
provides an opportunity to analyze situations using both logic and intuition.
It's a fun day to take things apart to see how they fit back together (or _if_
they fit back together ;-}). We find it easy to communicate effectively and
powerfully to others today, and we may share a strong interest in the profound
and mysterious. We must take some initiative to make the most of this aspect.
On 21Dec, the Sun will transition from Sagittarius (mutable fire) to Capricorn
(cardinal earth). This is called the Winter Solstice and constitutes the first
day of Winter, and the day which has the least sun-light of the year (for the
Northern hemisphere). It also signifies the entrance into the Cardinal
(active, initiating) portion of the winter season. The Capricorn emphasis
will redirect our efforts towards the 10th house concerns of career, status
and prestige. Capricorn energy focuses upon the construction of sturdy
foundations of all kinds (physical, emotional, spiritual, etc.), and can
provide a required base for the emotional family-related expressions of its
opposite/complementary sign Cancer.
The Sun's entrance into Capricorn (ruled by Saturn) will certainly bring a
more serious and sober attitude to people after the lighter expressions of
Sagittarius. Capricorn energies can endure great sacrifices to move ahead in
a career. Caring and compassion for others must be developed, however, or the
outward success will end up being as empty and unfulfilling as the sacrifices
which led there. The following chart highlights this sun-sign transition.

No astrological guide for the Holiday season would be complete without an
indication of the void-of-course moon periods which occur during the height
of the seasonal shopping frenzy. Try to avoid making major purchases during
the following times since such gifts are likely to end up being inappropriate,
defective, the wrong size, unappreciated, over-priced, or returned for one
reason or another:
Sunday 17December 11:39am through 12:19pm
Tuesday 19December 6:54pm through 10:45pm
Thursday 21December 2:34pm through
Friday 22December 11:18am
Sunday 24December 8:57am through 11:37pm
So don't wait until the last minute (notice that the moon is void-of-course
for the entire day before Christmas), and try to avoid void-of-course moon
gifts unless they are for someone that you just don't like very much ;-}.
Also, if anyone says that they are going out to buy _you_ a gift during one
of these periods then try to dissuade them by offering to take them out to
lunch or dinner, or if that doesn't work then hide their wallet ;-}.
On 26December Venus at 06Aquarius sextiles Mars at 06Sagittarius. This
aspect highlights male/female relationships, and is especially well suited
for new introductions and light romance. Again the sextile aspect requires
some initiative on our part, so if you have been thinking of approaching
someone or asking them out to a party or a concert then make the date for
today ... it is likely to be fun and work out well. Overall this aspect will
make for an energetic, adventurous, friendly and fun day.
The next new moon is in Capricorn on 27December 1989.
Until then ... enjoy the free-spirited energies of Sagittarius before the
responsibilities of Capricorn encroach upon our free-wheeling fun, and use
the astrological influences wisely to create a very Happy Holiday Season
for yourself and your loved ones!
Lisa and Todd
PS. Both Mercury and Venus will turn retrograde after the next new moon
but before the New Year. To prepare for Mercury, try to complete and
sign all contracts, make all travel arrangements in advance, and talk
about all important issues during this moon cycle since communications
will be directed more inwardly once Mercury turns retrograde. To prepare
for Venus, select your redecorating color schemes now, and if you are
planning to propose or to get married then do it well before Venus
turns retrograde ... or else wait until Venus turns direct again.

Astrology Watch Highlights
==========================
The new moon on 27December in Capricorn (cardinal earth) provides us with
opportunities to construct a solid concrete foundation upon which to erect
the physical, emotional, and spiritual structures of our lives. Capricorn
is ruled by Saturn (restriction) and relates to the 10th house concerns of
career, prestige, ambition, and status. As a cardinal sign, Capricorn
energies are active, and are characterized by workaholic tendencies and more
serious and sober attitudes. With Capricorn energies, individuals become
more aware of their own sense of structure and of their ego concerns.
People are likely to place more emphasis on work, including acceptance of
added responsibilities and more concern for long-range planning.
Capricorn energies can endure great sacrifices for career ambitions, but they
can often ignore the personal compassion and caring which makes life worth
living. As with other earth signs (Taurus, Virgo) Capricorn energies are
associated with practical, rational, and generally down-to-earth activities,
which may seem overly constrained to some of the freer energies of the zodiac.
The way to maximize your growth during this new moon cycle is to pay attention
to job related issues, and to strengthen your professional and business
foundations. However, retain an awareness of the qualities of the opposing
sign Cancer by remaining sensitive to home and family issues, and thus embrace
both sides of the dichotomy between conscious will and tangible success
(Capricorn) versus unconsious mind and intangible feelings (Cancer).
The Capricorn influences are also heavily augmented during this moon cycle
since four planets other than the Sun and Moon are also currently transiting
through Capricorn (Mercury, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune) and another planet
is entering soon (Venus). Thus during this moon cycle Capricorn dominates
the astrological energies, and as you are able master this energy (presumably
by also embracing the complementary Cancer energy) you can master yourself.
On 29December Mercury at 26Capricorn turns retrograde until 19January1990.
Mercury will remain in Capricorn during this entire retrograde period.
Mercury in Capricorn confers orderly and structured thought processes which
are probably applied toward career development interests. During this
retrograde period some thought patterns probably require re-ordering and
re-structuring. Communications will turn more inward during this transit, so
it is most likely our _own_ ideas which require adjustment, and we should be
careful to avoid depressive turns of mind which are common with Mercury in
Capricorn. Tend to business, but don't get depressed about delays or problems,
and remember to balance your home life against any workaholic tendencies.
As usual with Mercury retrograde, try to avoid signing contracts, making major
purchases, and engaging in critical communications during this time.
On 30December Venus at 06Aquarius turns retrograde until 8February. This is
not the best time to get married or to redecorate since we are likely to be
unclear about our values, tastes and affections. Avoid drastic cosmetic
or decorative changes such as punk hairdos, new clothes which make a fashion
statement, or new living room furniture during this time. Take this time to
reflect on those things that you truly value, and to winnow out things which
you may have valued in the past but don't value anymore.
On 2January the Sun conjuncts Neptune at 12Capricorn. Today we can be
creative in a tangible or practical way. We may have dreamy or idealistic
business thoughts, and may grasp new insights into business planning processes.
There is a potential for deception today, so keep your eyes and ears open.
Be careful not to overdo it with drugs or alcohol today.
On 6January the Sun conjuncts Saturn at 16Capricorn. This aspect represents
restrictions or increased responsibilities which may weigh heavily upon us
and are likely to be sobering or depressing. Arthritis or joint pain may
kick up and restrict some people's mobility. Try to do something practical
today or reconsider long-range plans.
On 7January the Sun at 17Capricorn sextiles Pluto at 17Scorpio. This aspect
provides opportunities for new and reformative ideas. We are likely to
experience intense emotions and the strength of our convictions. This is a
good day to make productive changes of a rebuilding nature.
On 8January the Sun conjuncts Mercury retrograde at 18Capricorn. Today we
will be dying to talk, but whatever we say is unlikely to come out the way we
intend. We will have a compulsion to talk about sobering topics, but few of
the faculties required to express them clearly. Take this time to talk to
yourself, and to reflect on your own patterns of communication.
On 9January Mercury retrograde sextiles Pluto at 17Scorpio. This aspect
provides an opportunity to analyze situations using both logic and intuition,
but be careful since with Mercury retrograde we may not draw appropriate
conclusions. We may take things apart, but they may not quite fit back
together today. We can communicate powerfully to others today, but we have
to be careful to keep our communications in line with our intentions.
On 10January the full moon is exact with the Sun at 21Capricorn and the
Moon at 21 Cancer. This can be an active and emotional full moon period,
and it will accentuate any difficulties with balancing home and work life.
It is more likely that home and family will be neglected rather than work, so
plan to spend extra time at home, or take your family out to dinner tonight.
Later on 10January Mercury retrograde conjuncts Saturn at 16Capricorn.
This could indicate a depressive or restrictive turn of mind, so try to
lighten up about your problems, especially work-related difficulties.
On 13January Mercury retrograde conjuncts Neptune at 12Capricorn. This aspect
imparts extreme sensitivity, vivid imagination, and strong intuition. It can
be difficult for the mind to sort reality from illusion, and many people may
seem more than a bit confused today. Try not to use drugs or alcohol today
as they will only cloud your judgement even more. Writing a creative story
for your own enjoyment could be an effective application of this energy.
On 16January Venus enters Capricorn by retrograde motion for a stay until
3March. Capricorn is not a particularly jovial placement for Venus, and can
indicate a need for material status and wealth to achieve emotional security.
Passion is often suppressed and people could adopt a rather reclusive attitude.
We have just recently traveled this Venus in Capricorn transit, so we may feel
ourselves to be back on familiar ground with our affections and values, yet
the retrograde motion suggests that some of our familiar ways should be
reasessed and reformed into a new and more stable outlook. Try to resist
the temptation to sink into pessimism, and concentrate on creating a solid
foundation upon which to develop your future romantic involvements and
value orientations.
Also on 16January Saturn at 17Capricorn sextiles Pluto at 17Scorpio, an
aspect which stays within one degree for about ten days. This provides
opportunities for adding constructive foundations to new and potentially
revolutionary concepts. Think very long-term now and save your ideas, but
reevaluate or reformulate any plans after Mercury has turned direct.
On 18January the Sun conjuncts Venus retrograde at 28Capricorn. This aspect
is rather pleasant, but in a practical and somewhat internalized way.
On 19January Mercury returns to direct motion at 10Capricorn. Give it a
few days to straighten itself out, but start preparing now to move _ahead_
again in both our personal an business interactions. We may even start
meeting our schedules again soon ;-}.
On 20Jan, the Sun will transition from Capricorn (cardinal earth) to Aquarius
(fixed air) for a stay until 18February. This signifies the entrance into the
fixed (stable) portion of the winter season. The Aquarian emphasis will
redirect our efforts towards the 11th house concerns of groups, social work,
and worthy causes. Aquarius is ruled by Uranus which contributes erratic,
ingenious, and revolutionary influences, with an emphasis on science, high
technology, or astrology. Aquarian energy is also perceptive, detached, and
impersonal, and can provide a required intellectual base for the leadership
expressions of its opposite/complementary sign Leo.
The Sun's entrance into Aquarius (ruled by Uranus) will bring a more detached
and intellectual attitude to people after the heavier expressions of Capricorn.
Aquarian energy invariably attempts to idealize the human condition, denying
personal foibles and being generally impersonal, yet pursuing social and
humanitarian issues and group goals. Aquarian energy feels more compassion
for idealistic concerns of 'humanity' than for the concerns of actual
individual humans who are inevitably not so ideal. The following chart
highlights this sun-sign transition.

| Hi, Virginia...(.78)
I have one of those new-fangled astrology watches...it's really
neat! When the big hand is on Uranus and the little hand is on
little Earthy, then I know that a big moon is on the rise. I guess
the batteries must be real powerful, cause this always causes the
lens to get misty. But strapping it on gives me a big jolt, too,
since it's bio-magnetic properties accelerate the blood flow.
Anyway, I don't totally understand it, either, but it is rather
exhilerating just the same. Maybe somebody will explain it or
demonstrate it for me some day.

Astrology Watch Highlights
==========================
The new moon on 26January in Aquarius (fixed air) provides us with
opportunities to re-establish our involvement with the creative goals of
groups and organizations, with friends, and with humanitarian interests.
Aquarius is ruled by Uranus (erratic change) and relates to the 11th house
concerns of organizations, personal goals and objectives, science, and a
detached mental outlook. As a fixed sign, Aquarian energies are stable;
and as an air sign the energy is expressed through thoughts rather than
through actions (fire), emotions (water), or things (earth). This New Moon
coincides with an Annular Solar Eclipse, thus accentuating the initiating
power of this Moon Cycle.
Using Aquarian influences individuals can enjoy more positive self-expression
through scientific, humanitarian, or occult groups. People also gain a more
universal perspective on life. The way to maximize growth during this new
moon cycle is to condense ideas and thoughts into viable plans for the future
which are designed for the benefit of all rather than just for ourselves.
Capricorn influences are heavily represented during this moon cycle
since five planets are currently transiting through Capricorn (Mercury,
Venus, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune) and another planet is entering soon
(Mars on 29Jan). Thus again during this moon cycle Capricorn dominates the
astrological energies, and indicates a preoccupation with work and ambitions,
and indicates that a great deal of practical work may be accomplished.
It may not be too much fun though. This configuration will present some
tough challenges for Aries, Libra, and Cancer folks, and those people with
prominent natal points in any of these three cardinal signs (which is just
about everybody!). Jupiter is in the opposite/complementary sign Cancer,
and can thus act as a funnel or release point for the Capricorn energies of
these planets. We can make the best of this Capricorn period by simply doing
what we know we must do, even if it is not our activity of choice at the time.
Mercury recently turned direct, so bolster your confidence and start to
communicate more freely and succinctly now ... people will tend to understand
more quickly. On 27January Mercury conjuncts Neptune at 13Capricorn which
may confuse us a bit, although penetrating insights may be derived. Neptune
can be deceiving, howver, so don't trust everything you hear.
On 29January Mars enters Capricorn for a stay until 11March, becoming the
SIXTH planet within the Cardinal Earth sign. Mars in Capricorn stimulates
practical application of our physical energies. We are likely to be more
responsible, dutiful, and serious, yet we may tend to plod along in a sober
way towards ambitious desires for career advancement and financial security.
We will feel as if we must be productive, yet we may manipulate others to
further their usefulness to us. Guard against becoming over-pessimistic as
it will deplete your energies.
On 31January Mars at 01Capricorn opposes Jupiter at 01Cancer. This aspect
makes us competitive, and energetic to the point of being manic. This could
be fun but we must guard against over-cockiness or over-extending ourselves,
and we should use extra caution while driving. The Cancer/Capricorn polarity
pits expansive Jupiterian concepts for home and family against energetic
striving towards career ambitions. Make sure to allow extra time for your
family activities.
On 01February Mercury at 17Capricorn sextiles Pluto at 17Scorpio. This
aspect indicates the possibility for constructive reformative ideas and
communications. We may become preoccupied with deep or profound thoughts
concerning regeneration. As with all sextile aspects, some initiating effort
on our part may be required to activate these energies.
On 03February Mercury conjuncts Saturn at 19Capricorn. On this day, those
in authority may issue orders in especially cold and harsh terms, and as a
result of this the abused may become a dangerous enemy. This aspect will
especially impact those involved with communication or transport services,
or issues relating to restrictions on communications.
On 04February Mercury conjuncts Venus at 21Capricorn. This aspect enhances
communication within our relationships. In Capricorn this aspect is likely
to have more of a business emphasis rather than a romantic one, and it can
stimulate our mercantile abilities.
On 06February the Sun at 17Aquarius squares Pluto at 17Scorpio. For this
aspect the Sun can represent powerful authority figures and Pluto can indicate
the emotional eruption of hidden grudges. Bad feelings are apt to flare up
in an open encounter. This is a good day to keep our mouths shut so we don't
close any doors behind ourselves.
On 08February Venus at 21Capricorn returns to direct motion. You will be
happy to know that we can all start considering buying fashionable items
again, or can start planning to redecorate our home or office. Love
relationships should improve and may become reestablished or stabilized,
even though Venus in Capricorn does tend to put business before pleasure.
The forward motion gets warmed up just in time for Valentine's day, so take
advantage of it and start setting up a romantic date with your sweetheart.
On 09February the Full Moon is exact with the Moon at 20Leo opposed to the
Sun at 20Aquarius. This Full Moon coincides with a Total Lunar eclipse
which often brings dramatic action, and can decisively mark the culmination
of events. In Leo/Aquarius this may involve struggles over the leadership
of groups and organizations. This Lunar eclipse may also indicate world
crises resulting from a push towards self-rule or democracy.
Also on 09February, Mars conjuncts Uranus at 08Capricorn. This aspect can
indicate unexpected and quick events which can be quite explosive in their
effects. In Capricorn these events may be of a serious nature, and may have
long-lasting structural effects. This aspect may encourage physical activity
of a dangerous or risky nature, but we should use caution. There will be
plenty of energy to take actions which may be long over-due, especially where
fear was a factor in delaying our actions. So, face your fears, do what must
be done, but keep your guard up.
On 11February Mercury transits from Capricorn to Aquarius for a stay until
03March, and finally begins to reduce the Capricorn dominance. This indicates
that our mental faculties will surface from the Capricorn grind first, with
idealistic Aquarian (Uranian) ideas emphasizing humanitarian and group goals.
Our communications will be more conducive to the establishment of friendships,
yet in a somehwat detached way.
On 17February Mars conjuncts Neptune at 14Capricorn. This aspect can
cause dissipation and diffusion of our energies where our focus can become
clouded. However, from behind the clouds some very insightful rays of
understanding may creep in, especially in regard to long range goals.
We may be confused or deceived by coworkers today (especially males), so
try not to be overly gullible this week.
On 18Feb the Sun enters Pisces (ruled by Neptune) which will bring a more
sensitive and emotional attitude following the mental expressions of Aquarius.
People may become more sensitive, creative, and romantic, and will strive for
insights on deeper emotional levels. The following chart highlights this
sun-sign transition.
Aquarius Pisces
--------- --------
Duality Masculine Feminine
Element Air Water

Planet Uranus Neptune

On 19February the Sun at 01Pisces trines Jupiter at 01Cancer. This should
be a very optimistic and potentially very happy day or two. With both in
Water signs our emotions may get the much-needed boost that they have required
ever since Capricorn has dominated the astrological influences. We may end
up a bit emotionally over-sensitive, but we should still take this aspect and
run with it! This could make for an absolutely wonderful dinner party at home,
and with the Sun in Pisces you should probably serve fish or other seafood.
This is also an excellent time to renovate your home.
Later on 19February Pluto at 18Scorpio turns to retrograde motion until
25July. For a few days while Pluto is essentially stationary but about to
turn retrograde it can bring out power struggles involving matters of business
finances, debts, loans, and other major changes which are often irreversible.
Don't cling to things which are falling by the wayside, and try not to react
to the inevitable destruction of some things by making decisions which damage
other options which could otherwise remain available to you. If it doesn't
fit in your life don't blow it up ... just blow it out of your life.
On 22February Mars at 18Cap sextiles Pluto at 18Scorpio. This aspect
indicates the possibility for actions which can effectively reform or
regenerate, especially at work. Any reorganization changes at work may be
irreversible. We may feel that our goals are sublime and our actions are
somehow preordained. There are deep emotions at work here, and they may
find expression in profound sexual experiences. We may feel great strength
both physically and emotionally, although with the sextile aspect we may
have to initiate some action on our own volition in in order to get our
juices flowing.
On 23February Mercury at 18Aquarius squares Pluto at 18Scorpio. Today
our manner of communicating to ourselves and others may undergo challenges
which are severe enough to divert us to a new way of thinking about ourselves
and of communicating to others. Powerful and forceful communications may
be expressed, and with both planets in fixed signs neither side is likely
to budge. Our best bet is to accept any criticism from others with a calm
and listening ear, and then use the feedback to modify our attitudes and
behaviors. While this sounds good, it may not be so easy to accomplish today.
On 24January Jupiter at 01Cancer returns to direct motion indicating a more
expansive phase for our home and family interests. This will take a week or
so to get going, but will be conducive to constructing an addition on your
home, or purchasing real estate. With Jupiter in Cancer we are likely to
feel more nurturing, and to experience more happiness in our home environment.
The next new moon is in Pisces on 25 February 1990.
Until then .. don't let the planets get your goat (Capricorn).

Astrology Watch Highlights
==========================
The new moon on 25February in Pisces (mutable water) provides us with
opportunities to reestablish a close connection with our deepest and most
profound feelings. Pisces is ruled by Neptune (sublime delusion) and relates
to 12th house concerns of unconscious emotions, past experiences, intuitive
thoughts, behind the scenes actions, incarceration, and institutions.
As a mutable sign, Piscean energies are flexible; and as a water sign the
energy is expressed through emotions rather than through actions (fire),
things (earth), or thoughts (air). Using Piscean influences, we can enjoy
art, music, poetry and any project that requires sensitivity and creative,
imaginative thought. To maximize growth during this new moon cycle allow
your psychic and intuitive perceptions to manifest, share compassionate
feelings for others, help behind the scenes with institutions or social
organizations, and do your planting and transplanting now!
Capricorn is still heavily represented during this moon cycle with five
planets still transiting through Capricorn (Venus, Mars, Saturn, Uranus,
and Neptune). This again indicates a preoccupation with work and ambitions,
and suggests that a great deal of practical work may be accomplished.
While the Sun's entrance into Pisces (which sextiles Capricorn) will help a
bit, the best hope to relieve the Capricorn doldrums is Jupiter which is in
the opposite and complementary sign Cancer (home and family), and can thus
act as a release point for the Capricorn energies. Jupiter just barely turned
direct, so its expansive effects will gradually become more and more noticable.
On 27February the Sun at 09Pisces sextiles Uranus at 09Capricorn. This
highlights practical new discoveries and useful new inventions, likely to be
work-related. The Sun-Uranus sextile may bring some mild relief from recent
tensions, and encourage the redirection of our energies into new areas.
On 28Februaru Mars conjuncts Saturn at 22Capricorn. This aspect confers
strong self-discipline, sober thinking, and reasoning power. We are more
able to concentrate on detailed work, and our actions are more disciplined
and controlled. This aspect is similar to driving with the brakes on.
On 3March, Mercury begins a rapid transit through Pisces until it enters
Aries on 19March. When Mercury is in Pisces (ruled by Neptune) we can
become more in touch with the hidden sides of our personalities and our
unconscious drives, yet at this time we are more likely to keep such insights
to ourselves. We are likely to have increased concern with spiritual
development, and may feel like escaping into reclusion to sort out our
ideas. Keeping secrets from others will only undermine their confidence
in us once the hidden secrets are revealed.
Also on 3March Venus enters Aquarius for a stay until 5April. Venus in
Aquarius stimulates a more detached and intellectual approach to love, and
may be accompanied by more idealistic affection for 'humanity' than for any
individual person. We may have difficulty empathizing with the emotional
problems of others since we may concern ourselves only with the big picture
and overlook significant personal issues. Group activities and humanitarian
causes will have more of an attraction for us now.
Lastly on 3March Mercury at 01Pisces trines Jupiter at 01Cancer. This aspect
can indicate interesting and rewarding work, and beneficial philosophically-
minded communications with others. Our mental outlook will become more
expansive and optimistic. We can demonstrate a good balance between attention
to detail versus grasp of the comprehensive view. This aspect is favorable
for study, writing, teaching, interacting with the communications media, or
travel (Mercury) related to philosophy, religion, or education (Jupiter).
On 4March the Sun at 14Pisces sextiles Neptune at 14Capricorn. This aspect
stimulates intuitive and creative faculties, and imparts an appreciation of
art and beauty. We gain insights into the workings of the sub-conscious
mind which provide valuable material for productive spiritual development.
Romance tends toward the exotic now, so use your imagination... ;-}
On 8March the Sun at 17Pisces trines Pluto at 17Scorpio. This aspect provides
an opportunity to make progressive changes through increased will-power and
resourcefulness. Clairvoyance is stimulated, and efforts at spiritual, mental
or physical self-improvement are favored. We may assume a professional
leadership role, and may benefit through insurance, inheritance, or taxes.
Later on 8March Mercury at 09Pisces sextiles Uranus at 09Capricorn which
stimulates quick intuitive and inventive thinking, and enhances original
dramatic expression. Inventions or discoveries are favored in electronics,
science or engineering.
On 11March the Full Moon is exact with the Moon at 20Virgo opposing the Sun
at 20Pisces. This can be a very emotional and sensitive full moon which could
either enhance or distort our emotional reactions. Health or employment crises
are possible so we should take special practical care of ourselves now.
Also on 11March Mars enters Aquarius for a stay until 20April. Mars in
Aquarius is inventive and original, yet may be stubborn and cause difficulties
with authorities if we do not remain flexible. Working with groups involved
in idealistic and humanitarian causes is highlighted.
Later on 11March Mercury at 14Pisces sextiles Neptune at 14Capricorn. This
aspect imparts keen perceptions, and stimulates a fertile imagination. We may
become more than a bit dreamy. Creative writing is especially favored.
On 13March Mercury at 17Pisces trines Pluto at 17Scorpio. The Piscean
influences (12th house) can accentuate the deeply profound spiritual and
regenerative thinking associated with this aspect. Sub-conscious thoughts
may rise into conscious awareness. Probe your spiritual underpinnings today.
Later on 13March the Sun at 23Pisces sextiles Saturn at 23Capricorn. This
aspect indicates constructive ambition, good organization, and a mature
attitude. This is a very favorable time for important communications with
those in power. We are likely to make steady progress toward goals, and
enjoy an enhanced sense of dignity. Some initiative and patience may be
required in order to reap the benefits of this aspect.
On 16March Mercury at 23Pisces sextiles Saturn at 23Capricorn. This aspect
enhances our capacity for organization, and encourages us to leave nothing to
chance. Carefully recording your dreams today may yield additional insights.
On 18March the Sun conjuncts Mercury at 27Pisces lending us more effective
self-expression. We will gain abundant mental energy allowing us to pay
close attention to details. A short trip may also be enjoyable now.
On 19March Mercury enters Aries for a brief stay until 3April. When
Mercury transits through Aries we are likely to react with quick and
aggressive mental responses. There is an abundance of mental energy during
this time, but we are more likely to act first and think later. This is a
perfect time to start a resolution to "Count to Ten before Flaming", but it
will be a very difficult period to hold to it.
The Sun entering Aries on 20March marks the Spring (Vernal) Equinox and
thus the beginning of Spring! The Aries dynamism is reflected as the
initiation of new life: flowers budding, animals mating, and people doing
all those romantic things they are known for. Keep in mind that Aries is
a Cardinal (active) Fire sign, and try to keep your cool since there may
be some people acting more inflammatory than usual.
This is actually one of the most significant Sun-sign transitions since it
signifies the culmination of one natural astrological cycle (Pisces .. natural
12th house) and the initiation of a new cycle (Aries .. natural 1st house).
This Sun-sign transition is highlighted in the following table:
Pisces Aries
---------- ----------
Duality Feminine Masculine
Element Water Fire
Quality Mutable Cardinal
Keyword 'I Believe' 'I Am'
Polarity Virgo Libra
Body Parts Feet Head
Animals Fish Ram
On 20March Mercury at 02Aries squares Jupiter at 02Cancer. This aspect
is generally favorable and imparts optimistic attitudes towards long-range
goals. At this time you may be able to grasp the whole picture and think
in big, ideal, abstract terms. We may be sloppy with details, however,
and may be inclined to overlook things which conflict with larger plans.
On 22March the Sun at 02Aries squares Jupiter at 02Cancer. This aspect is
rather mild for a square, yet can suggest personal problems arising from
hypocrisy, extravagance, and inflated self-importance. This aspect can lead
to overexpansion, foolish optimism, and waste. We may feel a bit on the
slow side today, and just taking it easy may be the theme for today. We have
a tendency to adhere to dogmatic views which may cause problems in romantic,
social, or business situations. Gambling is unwise at this time, and charity
may be tinged with a desire for personal recognition and praise. The
'antidote' for most of these negative expressions is to maintain a more
objective and philosophical attitude.
On 24March Mercury at 09Aries squares Uranus at 09Capricorn. This aspect
stimulates our minds, and indicates a need for exciting ideas. We may become
bored or nervous, or have difficulty concentrating on daily tasks. Established
plans may not work out as intended, so try to remain flexible.
Also on 24March Venus at 17Aquarius squares Pluto at 17Scorpio. This aspect
indicates a lack of consideration for the emotional feelings of others, and
emotional attempts (Venus) to reform others (Pluto) which can lead to
resentment. Additional difficulties with the control of sexual urges are
indicated, and may be compounded by realizations of sexual incompatibilities.
Avoid criminal elements and secret activities, and place extra protection on
valuable property. Past emotional attachments may be shattered at this time.
While this may not seem so beneficial at the time, Pluto enforces its lessons
by removing all excess baggage which is not absolutely required in a particular
area of your life in order to prepare for a fresh rebirth in that area. Thus
while this aspect may be rough, it provides exceptional opportunities for
forceful internal work on reforming our own emotional attachments.
Lastly on 24March Mercury at 10Aries sextiles Mars at 10Aquarius. This aspect
is favorable for action-oriented activities and communications. We should
find an appropriate physical outlet for our excess energy today.
On 26March Mercury at 14Aries squares Neptune at 14Capricorn which can delude
our practical thinking, yet can be especially good for creative thinking.
The next new moon is in Aries on 26 March 1990.
Until then .. with Jupiter starting to move direct in food-loving Cancer it
is a great opportunity for a dinner party, so .. a bit of advice for upcoming
dinner party menus :
- serve fish or seafood while the Sun's in Pisces (and invite us ;-})
- switch to beef or lamb when the Sun heads into Aries on 20March
or - with Mercury, Venus and finally Mars in Aquarius you could join
in a truly Aquarian cause by sticking with the vegetarian delights.

Astrology Watch Highlights
==========================
The new moon on 26March in Aries (cardinal fire) provides us with an
opportunity to make a fresh start. Aries is the astrological new year, and
thus a time for new beginnings. Aries is ruled by Mars (desire and aggression)
and relates to the 1st house concerns of ego, independence, new ventures,
self-awareness and discovery.
As a cardinal sign, Aries energies are dynamic; and as a fire sign energy is
expressed through actions rather than through emotions (water), things (earth),
or thoughts (air). Using Aries influences, individuals can enjoy competitive
sports, new projects, and any activity that requires direct assertiveness.
We should guard against over-impulsiveness or being too headstrong. To
maximize growth during this new moon cycle initiate changes _now_. This is
a new chance for making New Year's resolutions, so start fresh, develop new
ideas, and try new things. Explore new options.
Also on 26March Mercury at 14Aries squares Neptune at 14Capricorn which can
delude our practical thinking, yet can be especially good for creative thought.
On 30March the Sun square Uranus aspect indicates that we should prepare for
and beware of sudden upsets and disruptive situations. We desire to break
down our everyday routines today, yet we may end up taking foolhardy risks
to do so. Be extra careful today since we tend to be more accident prone.
Learn to go with the flow of disruptions, and avoid arguing or you could make
things worse.
On 31March Mercury at 24Aries squares Saturn at 24Capricorn. With Mercury
in a square relationship with Saturn you will feel restrictions on mental
ideas and/or travel arrangements (Mercury). During this time you may just feel
generally down in the dumps. Try to be patient with restrictions today
since all of the pent-up Aries energy may burst out into inappropriately
aggressive responses if you are not careful.
On 1April Mercury at 24Aries sextiles Venus at 24Aquarius. This is a mild
aspect between inner planets and has a relatively brief effect of making us
feel pretty good, and will allow us to communicate effectively about our likes
and dislikes, and our humanitarian interests. With Mercury in Aries there may
be a bit of anger expressed, so keep your fire extinguisher handy ;-}.
On 2April Mars at 17Aquarius squares Pluto at 17Scorpio. This is a time
for creatively transforming the world around you, yet power struggles and
disagreements may ensue. Energy levels are high and this aspect arouses
ambition, but be careful of arousing opposition in the people you confront.
Don't act ruthlessly or underhandedly toward others no matter how angry.
Avoid dangerous places and activities.
On 4April Mercury enters Taurus for a relatively long stay until 11June.
During this time our thinking will be practical and deliberate. A danger of
this Mercury placement is mental lethargy, yet careful planning and patience
are supported, and real-estate transactions are favored. We are likely to
engage in practical down-to-earth communications, yet we may retain fixed
mental attitudes. Our attention turns towards what we value.
Later on 4April the Sun at 14Aries squares Neptune at 14Capricorn. Sun
square Neptune depletes our energy level and indicates a day when our body
may need to take the day off. The physical dissipation may simply be a
symptom of more general feelings of inadequacy and lack of confidence.
On 6April Venus transits from Aquarius to Pisces for a stay until 3May.
Venus in Pisces is extremely sensitive, and demonstrates extraordinary
emotional sympathy and understanding, kindness towards those in need, and
appreciation of beauty. Due to the influence of Neptune, the ruler of Pisces,
We can understand others on a deeply spiritual and compassionate level.
This transit is associated with secret romances and behind-the-scenes activity.
We are attracted to places of retreat and romantic privacy.
Later on 6April Mercury at 03Taurus sextiles Jupiter at 03Cancer. With
Mercury sextile Jupiter we can effectively initiate communications for new
projects. Especially favored are projects involving either Cancerian
activities such as home projects, domestic animals, and food, or Taurean
activities related to possessions or real-estate.
On 9April, following the highly energetic full moon from Libra (Moon) to
Aries (Sun), Venus at 04Pisces trines Jupiter at 04Cancer. This aspect
is very positive and reomantically inclined. Venus trine Jupiter is also
perfect for a bit of redecorating around the home, or possibly around the
office. Artistic endeavors involving music ar art are likely to give you
pleasure and turn out well due to the great creative potential. This is a
time when we may finally receive deserved rewards which were previously
earned, and when we are likely to demonstrate more benevolence toward others.
On 10April Mercury at 09Taurus trines Uranus at 09Capricorn. This aspect
encourages us to put our concrete ideas into practice in new and exciting ways.
New land or real-estate dealings are favored. We gain an ability to adopt
new and inventive ways of thinking and to realign our thought patterns.
On 13April Uranus at 14Capricorn turns retrograde until 14September. During
this period our organization and self-discipline, though well-meaning, may
falter. There is a need to accept practical responsibilities, and if they
are not dealt with effectively then sudden events may disrupt your life which
require change and adaptability.
On 15April the Sun at 25Aries squares Saturn at 25Capricorn. With the Sun
square Saturn our egos may be impeded or our energies may be worn down, and
any forced issues are likely to result in equal force opposition. Try to
remain low-key to avoid the negative expressions of this aspect.
Later on 15April Venus at 09Pisces sextiles Uranus at 09Capricorn. This
aspect indicates unexpected unusual and exciting opportunities, and a
fun-loving social life. We may have unique original ideas in creating
art, music, or money. Whatever brings fun and excitement into your life,
go out and do it today ;-}.
Finally on 15April Mercury at 14Taurus trines Neptune at 14Capricorn. This
marks an excellent time for creativity and imaginative powers. Harmony can
be achieved through creative pursuits. You may end up spending the day
daydreaming.
On 16April Neptune at 14Capricorn turns retrograde until 23September. This
transit accentuates our internal conflicts between Dreams versus Practicality.
We need to use and cultivate our imagination even in opposition to practical
issues, and we need to get our affairs in order. Many things which have been
kept concealed for some time may be exposed when Neptune turns retrograde.
On 18April the Sun at 28Aries sextiles Mars at 28Aquarius. This sextile
is favorable for action-oriented activities. With the Sun in Aries these
actions could become overly aggressive if not kept in check. We are likely
to be in a self-assertive mood, and physical activity is highlighted.
On 19April Mercury at 17Taurus opposes Pluto at 17Scorpio. Keep an open mind,
and don't become a doubting Thomas. Upsetting events may occur which force
a reform of our regular thought structures, but maybe they needed a bit of a
jolt ;-}. This aspect is good for getting to the root of problems. Be
careful about attempts to persuade others since this may cause conflicts.
Later on 19April Venus at 14Pisces sextiles Neptune at 14Capricorn. This
aspect arouses our creative and romantic imagination, our appreciation of
beauty, and our sensitivity to the feelings of others. Since Venus is in
Pisces (ruled by Neptune) this enhanced sensitivity will be accentuated, and
could result in some over-indulgent dreaminess. Oh well, maybe a good
romantic dream is just what we need today ;-}.
On 20April the Sun enters Taurus (fixed, earth) until 21May and ushers in
the fixed portion of the Spring season. Plant or transplant your gardens now
to encourage steady growth, and sow new seeds for hardy development. Aries
has been rushing out, now Taurus sets our feet back firmly on the ground.
The following chart highlights this sun-sign transition.
Aries Taurus
---------- ----------
Duality Masculine Feminine
Element Fire Earth
Quality Cardinal Fixed
Keyword 'I Am' 'I Have'
Polarity Libra Scorpio
Body Parts Head Neck and Throat
Animals Ram Bull
Later on 20April Mars enters Pisces for a stay until 31May. This is an
excellent transit for creating very harmonious love relationships, so you
may be able to use these tendencies to counteract any lingering aloofness
from Mars in Aquarius. Mars in Pisces is not as energetic as Mars in many
(any?) other signs, but it can the most sensitive and and 'mushy' placement
for romance (and we're not just saying that because both of our natal Mars'
are in Pisces ;-}).
On 21April Venus at 17Pisces trines Pluto at 17Scorpio. This aspect imparts
intense emotions capable of the highest form of love, and strong sexual drives.
The power of love can have a transforming effect on others. The placement of
these planets in water signs favors the more sensitive and romantically steamy
encounters.
On 22April Mercury at 17Taurus sextiles Venus at 17Pisces. This is the
second time that we will experience this aspect during this moon cycle, but
this time in different signs. We should feel pretty good today, and we will
be able to communicate effectively about how we feel. With Mercury in Taurus
we are more likely to feel stable and comfortable, and with Venus in Pisces
we could be all set for romance. Give it a try!
On 23April Mercury turns retrograde at 17Taurus until 16May. This happens
three to four times a year (4-6 weeks per time), and has some of the most
noticable effects of any astrological event. When Mercury is retrograde
(especially as it turns retro) communication faculties slow down, we become
more reflective, and communications in general falter. This does not have to
be such a negative period so long as you don't try to push..push..push
everything through. Try to allow extra time, and be content to let things
happen at their own pace. You don't want a tight schedule when Mercury is
retrograde.
Be careful what you say or write during this retrograde Mercury period due to
inevitable misinterpretations. Do not expect anyone to understand your idioms
or inuendos. Due to miscommunications on all levels, this is _not_ a good
time to sign contracts. Get at least a 30 day warrantee on any mechanical or
electrical products or work that you have done during this time. This is a
_good_ period for thinking about future projects or reevaluating old projects
(be reflective), but is _not_ a good time to start in on a new project.
The next new moon is in Taurus on 24 April 1990.
Until then .. try to complete any critical communications and demanding
tasks before Mercury turns retrograde. Once Mercury is retrograde there
will be plenty of lingering messes to clean up anyway, so try to avoid
scheduling the initiation of any new messes .. I mean projects .. during
the Mercury retrograde period.

==========================
The new moon on 24April in Taurus (fixed earth) provides an opportunity to
initiate new projects on a firm and stable foundation. Since Taurus is
ruled by Venus, this could mean a new love relationship or new stability
within an existing relationship.
As a fixed sign, Taurus energies are stable; and as an earth sign energy is
expressed through tangible things rather than through emotions (water),
actions (fire), or thoughts (air). Using Taurean influences, individuals
can enjoy gardening, fixing up a house, practical domestic tasks, love
relationships, and issues relating to assets. We should guard against
becoming too closed-minded, too stubborn, or too materialistic.
To maximize growth during this new moon cycle we should till soil and sow
seeds in our physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual gardens, thus
initiating germination of earthy and practical beginnings which can yield
future hardy growth. The same applies for flower or vegetable gardens.
At the start of this Moon cycle all planets are in either Earth or Water
signs. This will lead to a preponderance of beneficial conjunctions,
sextiles, and trines, during this moon cycle, with only a few testy
oppositions thrown in, but no squares until Venus gets well into Aries.
Also, Mercury, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto are all retrograde, with Saturn
soon to follow. This indicates that we are receding into a more reflective
period where much internal work can be accomplished, yet few external effects
will be visible. This is an excellent time to reevaluate the directions of
current plans, or the causes of past successes or failures. When we resurface
from this instrospective period we should be much more able to effectively
chart a new course for ourselves.
--------------------
Moon's First Quarter : 24 April - 1 May
--------------------
On 26April the Sun at 06Taurus sextiles Jupiter at 06Cancer. Be prepared
to capitalize on opportunities which may present themselves in real-estate,
home renovation, or family issues. We may be able to accomplish a great
deal today if we don't let some minor details sidetrack us. We may also
be faced with some delectable culinary delights which tempt us to ditch
our diets ;-}.
On 27April Mercury at 16Taurus opposes Pluto at 16Scorpio. Keep an open mind
today. Upsetting events may occur which force a reform of our regular thought
structures, but maybe they needed a bit of a jolt ;-}. This aspect is good
for getting to the root of problems. Be careful about attempts to persuade
others since this may cause conflicts.
On 29April Venus at 25Pisces sextiles Saturn at 25Capricorn. This aspect
allows us to bring some structure and order to our relationships, and can be
an excellent time to sit down and arrive at a conscious understanding of what
each person expects from the other in a relationship. Venus sextile Saturn
favors tasks requiring thoroughness and attention to detail.
Later on 29April Mars at 06Pisces trines Jupiter at 06Cancer which indicates
rapid progress on projects at work or at home, and the possibility that our
desires and ego concerns may be pleasantly satisfied.
Finally on 29April the Sun at 09Taurus trines Uranus at 09Capricorn. This
aspect encourages intuitive and original actions, and is accompanied by a
strong desire to be independent. Science and electronics are favored.
---------------------
Moon's Second Quarter : 1 May - 9 May
---------------------
On 1May Mercury at 14Taurus trines Neptune at 14Capricorn. This marks an
excellent time for creativity and imaginative powers, but since Mercury is
retrograde this may apply more internally than externally. Harmony can be
achieved through creative pursuits.
On 3May Mars at 09Pisces sextiles Uranus at 09Capricorn. Unexpected events
may cause either disruption or inspiration. Our desires may be surprisingly
fulfilled, and we could enjoy success with almost anything that we seriously
attempt. Drive carefully now.
Later on 3May, the Sun at 13Taurus conjuncts Mercury retrograde at 13Taurus.
Today we will be dying to talk, but whatever we say is unlikely to come out
the way we intend. We will have a compulsion to talk about practical topics,
but few of the faculties required to express them clearly. We should take this
time to talk to ourselves, and to reflect on our own patterns of communication.
Lastly on 3May, Venus enters Aries for a stay until 30May. During this
transit we become more impulsive and aggressive in our emotional expressions.
Affections can also become impulsive and unstable. The opposite/complementary
energies of Libra can be invaluable for providing balance and harmony in
relationships during this period of rapid-fire emotional activity.
On 4May the Sun at 14Taurus trines Neptune at 14Capricorn. Psychic energy
is heightened, and there is potential for creating tangible results from our
imagination. Insights may be of a practical nature, daydreaming is likely.
Also on 4May, Saturn at 25Capricorn turns retrograde until 22September. Saturn
retrograde can cause inner doubts regarding one's sense of worth. We may have
difficulty expressing ourselves in groups due to introversion. During this
inner reconsolidation we create a new foundation for future personal growth.
On 6May Mercury at 11Taurus sextiles Mars at 11Pisces. This aspect is
favorable for action-oriented activities. We should find an appropriate
physical outlet for our excess energy today, and we should guard against
venting our anger through our impaired Mercury retrograde communications.
Later on 6May the Sun at 16Taurus opposes Pluto at 16Scorpio. Don't blow
it up! Remain flexible. This aspect may indicate trouble with friends,
lovers or groups due to stubborness and not allowing others to have their say.
Secrets may come out due to the ego and honesty of the Sun opposing the
secrecy and keep-everything-under-wraps attitude of Pluto in Scorpio. If
you make the mistake of making someone really angry today (like revealing
their secrets!), then they are likely to remember it for a long long time.
--------------------
Moon's Third Quarter : 9 May - 17 May
--------------------
On 9May the full moon is exact with the Sun at 18Taurus and the Moon at
18Scorpio. With both the Sun and Moon in Fixed signs, we could get locked
into strong feelings on opposing sides. Be careful not to pit an unwavering
force (relentless Scorpio) against an immovable object (solid-as-a-rock
Taurus) or our whole world may implode ;-}
Later on 9May, Mars at 14Pisces sextiles Neptune at 14Capricorn. This aspect
may spur changes which can lead to excitement, and heightens our intuition
concerning our own goals and drives.
On 10May, Mercury at 09Taurus trines Uranus at 09Capricorn. This aspect
encourages us to put our concrete ideas into practice in new ways. With
Mercury retrograde, however, there may be some unexpected delays.
On 11May Mercury at 08Taurus sextiles Jupiter at 08Cancer. With Mercury
sextile Jupiter we can effectively initiate communications for new projects.
Especially favored are projects involving either Cancerian activities such
as home projects, domestic animals, and food, or Taurean activities related
to possessions or real-estate. With Mercury retrograde, it may be more
worthwhile to enhance internal 'possessions' instead of external ones.
Also on 11May Venus at 08Aries squares Jupiter at 08Cancer, which doesn't
indicate serious problems, yet can cause personal let-downs of an emotional
nature. This aspect will bring out cruder mannerisms lacking in social grace.
We may procrastinate and waste time on unproductive pursuits.
On 12May Venus at 9Aries squares Uranus at 9Capricorn. Today we will seek
excitement in love relationships, even to the point of provoking fights.
This aspect demands patience, yet Venus in Aries must struggle to be patient
with anything. Don't flirt too much today or you may provoke a major
confrontation with someone you love. Try to keep a lid on impulsive spending
since the excitement of buying will pass long before the bills are paid ;-}.
Later on 12May, Mars at 16Pis trines Pluto at 16Scorpio. Mars trine Pluto
can provide energy for rebuilding and, especially with both planets in water
signs and Pluto in Scorpio, can indicate intense emotional experiences or a
profound sexual union.
On 13May Jupiter at 09Cancer opposes Uranus at 09Capricorn. Watch out for
too much optimism today, and be sure to read the fine print very carefully.
This aspect adds energy, optimism, and benevolence ... which may be foolhardy.
Everything may seem to be going your way today, but don't take it for granted.
On 16May the Sun at 25Taurus trines Saturn at 25Capricorn. Gains may be
achieved through hard and disciplined work. This is a serious day for
getting much work accomplished and fulfilling obligations. Try to follow
practical actions based upon careful planning.
Later on 16May, Venus at 14Taurus squares Neptune at 14Capricorn. Avoid
indulgences and self-pity today. Beware of being swept into depression and
emotional confusion. Watch the road carefully and don't daydream while driving.
Finally on 16May Mercury returns to direct motion at 08Taurus. Thankfully we
will all be able to breath a sigh of relief as Mercury begins its forward
progress over the next few days. Aaahhhhhhh....
---------------------
Moon's Fourth Quarter : 17 May - 24 May
---------------------
Also on 21May the Sun transitions from Taurus (fixed earth) to Gemini
(mutable air) which initiates the mutable or changable portion of the
Spring season. The following chart highlights this sun-sign transition.
Taurus Gemini
---------- ----------
Duality Feminine Masculine
Element Earth Air
Quality Fixed Mutable
Keyword 'I Have' 'I Think'
Polarity Scorpio Sagittarius
Body Parts Neck,Throat Hands,Arms,Lungs
Animals Cattle Bright birds, butterflies
The Sun in Gemini indicates a more mental and somewhat scattered energy which
is expressed through the communication of ideas, compared to the stable and
grounded energy associated with the Sun in Taurus. Gemini is known for
superficiality, but also for intellect, wit, charm, and twins.
On 22May Mercury at 09Taurus trines Uranus at 09Capricorn. This aspect just
occurred recently on 10May, but Mercury was in retrograde motion then. Thus
our concrete ideas may now find external expression in some new and exciting
ways. New land or real-estate dealings are favored. We gain an ability to
adopt new and inventive ways of thinking and to realign our thought patterns.
On 24May Mars at 25Pis sextiles Saturn at 25Capricorn, which can help our
work to proceed smoothly if it is properly planned out.
The next new moon is in Gemini on 24 May 1990.
Until then .. take appropriate precautions to account for Mercury retrograde
delays and/or miscommunications, plant gardens soon, and then accentuate the
pleasant earthy/watery sextiles/trines to create a happy and 'muddy' Spring!

Astrology Watch Highlights
==========================
The new moon on 24May in Gemini (mutable, air) provides an opportunity to
develop objectivity and to engage in copious communications. Gemini is ruled
by Mercury which enhances our spoken, written, and acted expressions, and can
stimulate travel. Many will feel like talking, and a few may even listen ;-}.
As a mutable sign, Gemini energies fluctuate; and as an air sign energy is
expressed through ideas or communications (air) rather than emotions (water),
actions (fire), or things (earth). Using Gemini influences we can enjoy
objectivity, flexibility, versatility and wit. Guard against becoming too
nervous and edgy, or too talkative when there is little of substance to say.
To maximize growth during this new moon cycle we should stress honesty, and
should encourage ourselves and others to talk about feelings and attitudes.
At the start of this moon cycle Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto are all
retrograde. This indicates a continuation of a reflective internal period,
and is an excellent time to reevaluate our current progress and situations,
while deferring major new advances for a few months. With three of these
retrograde planets in Capricorn, we may be reassessing our work environment
and our career ambitions. This is a good time to recalibrate our value in
the job market, but is not yet a favorable time to change jobs.
--------------------
Moon's First Quarter : Thursday 24 May - Thursday 31 May
--------------------
<< Thursday 24 May >>
The new Moon adds a flurry of activity which enhances a sextile between
Mars at 25Pisces and Saturn at 25Capricorn. This can help us to initiate
career or physical training regimens. Work should proceed smoothly if we
are properly prepared.
<< Friday 25 May >>
We may encounter restrictions and general depression related to love
relationships or creative expression as Venus at 25Aries squares Saturn
at 25Capricorn. Try to be patient or pent-up Aries energy may burst out
into inappropriately aggressive responses. Obligations to loved ones or
work duties should be handled today to free up our time for the weekend.
<< Sunday 27 May >>
We can effectively initiate communications for expansive new projects as
Mercury at 12Taurus sextiles Jupiter at 12Cancer. Especially favored are
projects involving either Cancerian activities such as home projects and
food, or Taurean activities related to beauty, possessions, or real-estate.
We would savor the food and optimistic conversation of a big Sunday dinner.
<< Tuesday 29 May >>
This is an excellent time for practical creativity and our imaginative powers
as Mercury at 14Taurus trines Neptune at 14Capricorn. We may achieve harmony
through creative pursuits, or we may just enjoy daydreaming today.
<< Wednesday 30 May >>
Venus enters its own sign Taurus today for a stay until 24June. This transit
is a pleasant one, and the fixed sign influences can lend stability to our
love relationships. Artistry and love are viewed in a more possesive and
security-minded way, with a more practical and serious approach. Practice,
study, and earthy sensuality are favored.
---------------------
Moon's Second Quarter : Thursday 31 May - Friday 8 June
---------------------
<< Thursday 31 May >>
Mars enters its own sign Aries today for a stay until 12July. Our desire
nature and physical energies can be very active and potent in Aries, but we
should try to restrain our desires from becoming so inflammatory that we
burn others. This can be an energetic, dynamic, and fast-moving period.
Keep an open mind to revolutionary ideas today as Mercury at 15Taurus
opposes Pluto at 15Scorpio. Upsetting events may occur, possibly during
travel, which force a reform of our regular thought structures, but we may
have needed a bit of adjustment. We can delve to the roots of problems,
but attempts to persuade others could result in conflicts.
<< Friday 1 June >> to << Tuesday 5 June >>
This weekend we enjoy a bit of a breather with no major planetary aspects.
This should give us time to recuperate, and will allow full expression of
the Moon in Libra energy which can help to mend our relationships.
<< Wednesday 6 June >>
Our feelings of luck may be delusional as Jupiter at 14Cancer opposes
Neptune at 14Capricorn. Our optimism may be dissipated by nebulous or
unrecognized influences at work. We shouldn't ride too high on our luck
today, since it may not come through as expected. Many expansive and
creative insights may be forthcoming, yet defer and reconsider critical
actions until this aspect has passed.
Exciting new love interests may also arise today as Venus at 08Taurus
trines Uranus at 08Capricorn. Science or art may figure in the excitement.
<< Thursday 7 June >>
Stable and practical thought patterns are encouraged today as Mercury at
24Taurus trines Saturn at 24Capricorn. Powers of concentration and self-
control are enhanced, but overtaxing our brains could lead to depression.
--------------------
Moon's Third Quarter : Friday 8 June - Friday 15 June
--------------------
<< Friday 8 June >>
The full Moon is exact today with the Sun at 17Gemini and the Moon at
17Sagittarius. This mutable full moon should set up an exciting and fun
party atmosphere with everyone chit-chatting away. Friday is the favored
party night this weekend as the Moon enters more sober Capricorn Saturday
morning. While partying, don't ask too many direct questions unless you
are prepared for equally direct Sagittarian answers.
<< Monday 11 June >>
Mercury enters its own sign Gemini today for a stay until 27June, so that
now the energies of all three innermost planets are enhanced by residing in
a sign which they rule. With Mercury in Gemini our thinking is active and
versatile yet scattered, and we may be very humorous and witty. Our thoughts
may be flighty, making concentration on a single goal difficult. Manual and
verbal dexterity is enhanced. Mercury in talkative, quick-thinking Gemini is
great for learning new things or adapting to new ways of thinking.
Creative expression inspired by dreams is also favored today as Venus at
14Taurus trines Neptune at 14Capricorn. Warm compassion and highly idealistic
love can combine to create a misty romantic atmosphere.
Be careful of accidents with cars or sharp objects today as Mars at 08Aries
squares Uranus at 08Capricorn. Dull your knives and stay at home ;-}.
<< Tuesday 12 June >>
Today can be romantically inspiring as Venus at 15Taurus sextiles Jupiter at
15Cancer. Artistic endeavors involving music, art, or home-decorating are
likely to give us pleasure. We may receive deserved rewards today which were
previously earned, although we may have to prod a bit for them. We are all
more likely to demonstrate benevolence toward others today.
The challenge today is to transform these romantic inspirations into a more
stable form as Venus at 15Taurus opposes Pluto at 15Scorpio. This opposition
can lead to excessive jealousy, controlling of others, or allowing others to
control you. The stubbornness inherent in this opposition in fixed signs
suggests wisdom in the avoidance of head-to-head conflict today.
<< Wednesday 13 June >>
We can enjoy positive changes in our personal and social spheres for a few
days as Jupiter at 15Cancer trines Pluto at 15Scorpio. Energies may flow in
the direction we desire, and we may find it easy to exert power and make
changes, but the power should not be used for self-elevation. We should try
to strike a balance, and to adopt a philosophy of enlightened self-interest.
---------------------
Moon's Fourth Quarter : Friday 15 June - Friday 22 June
---------------------
<< Friday 15 June >> to << Sunday 17 June >>
There are no major planetary aspects this weekend, but the Moon in Aries
can make for a hot time. Physical exertion and partying are enjoyable.
<< Monday 18 June >>
Our energies may dissipate into a haze today as Mars at 14Aries squares
Neptune at 14Capricorn. This can lead to laziness, procrastination, or
even religious fanaticism. Our desires can be deluded so don't push them.
<< Tuesday 19 June >>
We can gain inner strength involving personal relationships today as
Venus at 24Taurus trines Saturn at 24Capricorn. Friendships and love
relationships can gain stability on a more secure and honest foundation.
<< Wednesday 20 June >>
Action-oriented communications and travel are favored today as Mercury at
14Gemini sextiles Mars at 14Aries. The heightened energy of Mars in Aries
combined with Gemini flirtatious communications may lead us to flirt much
too blatantly. This could result in defiant leaps into limited engagement
relationships without consideration of consequences. Leaping can be fun,
but be sure to check for rocks just below the surface before you leap ;-}.
<< Thursday 21 June >>
The Sun transitions from Gemini to Cancer today, initiating the active
portion of the Summer season. This marks the the Summer Solstice, when the
Sun reaches its Northernmost apparent angle of declination, and shines for
the longest daylight period of the year (in the Northern Hemisphere). The
following chart highlights this sun-sign transition.

---------- ----------
Duality Masculine Feminine

The Sun in Cancer indicates an active emotional and often moody energy which
is expressed through feelings, as compared to the mental and scattered energy
associated with the Sun in Gemini. Cancer is known for sensitivity, concern
over home and family, nurturing, dependence, and martyrdom.
<< Friday 22 June >>
A new moon in Cancer initiates a new cycle emphasizing the rightful place of
of our home and family life amidst the ambitious career struggles bombarding
us from the three outer planets in Capricorn.
Until then .. reevaluate your directions and enjoy your flirtations, but
stay honest with your true feelings to insure that the reality you create
dosesn't replace the real you with a cheap imitation ;-}

Astrology Watch Highlights
==========================
The new moon on 22June in Cancer (cardinal water) provides an opportunity to
get in touch with your emotional roots. Cancer is ruled by the Moon and thus
accentuates feelings, mother, home and family. This is the first of two
consecutive New Moons in Cancer, with the second one being a true 'blue
moon', and a total solar eclipse to boot. Cancer issues will thus be
heightened for a couple of months. Try to allow expression for your feelings
during the first Cancer moon to reap emotional benefits during the second.
Jupiter is on our side in Cancer, but oppositions with Capricorn retrograde
planets could draw us inward into depression or outward into whining. Cancer
emotions can flow quickly, so if you get down, shake yourself out of it.
As a cardinal sign, Cancer energies are in motion; and as a water sign the
energy is expressed through emotions (water) rather that through ideas (air),
actions (fire), or things (earth). The cardinal action-starting sign Cancer
corresponds to the waves on our ocean of emotion, whereas Pisces (mutable
water) reflects the ebb and flow, and Scorpio (fixed water) rules the slow
currents which run deep.
Using Cancer influences, we can improve home and family conditions, and open
up our inner feelings. You should guard against becoming too moody or
withdrawing into a protective crab-like shell. To maximize growth during
this new moon cycle you should emphasize family matters, nurture loved ones,
and tend both your emotional and vegetable gardens with loving care.
At the start of this moon cycle Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto are all
still retrograde. Thus our reflective internal period continues, as we
reevaluate our current situation (especially career.. Capricorn).
Wait a while before initiating major new advances.
--------------------
Moon's First Quarter : Friday 22 June - Friday 29 June
--------------------
<< Friday 22 June >>
A new moon in Cancer initiates a new cycle reminding us of the importance
of our home and family life amidst the ambitious career struggles bombarding
us from the three outer planets in Capricorn.
<< Sunday 24 June >>
We will feel a shift in our values and relationships as Venus enters Gemini
for a stay until 19July. During this transit we will tend to place more
value on ideas and intellectual pursuits. We are interested in establishing
friendships, but will stay somewhat on the surface instead of getting deeply
involved. Conversation can be witty, and generally interpersonal relations
are lighter and more enjoyable. Our values are changeable, and we are
flexible enough to change our viewpoints. This applies to our love life too
as Venus in Gemini can be associated with multiple or fickle love interests.
<< Monday 25 June >>
We may be confronted with challenges today as Mars at 18Aries squares
Jupiter at 18Cancer. These challenges are likely to be a result of the
overexpansion of our desires, or expansion into areas which are not
productive. We may move ahead too fast and thereby miss some important
things which could lead us into accidents. The overexpansion could also be
of the ego, leading to an over-competitive attitude. Be cautious, and try
to relax and let it ride instead of pushing it to the limit.
<< Wednesday 27 June >>
We may find our communications miss the mark a bit (like a brief Mercury
retrograde period) as Mercury transits from Gemini to Cancer, where it will
stay until 12July. With Mercury in Cancer our thoughts will be strongly
affected by emotions. We are apt to have clouded communications which are
highly subjective.
---------------------
Moon's Second Quarter : Friday 29 June - Saturday 7 July
---------------------
<< Friday 29 June >>
Be careful today and keep a watch out for accidents as the Sun at 7Cancer
opposes Uranus at 7Capricorn. This aspect can bring restlessness and
surprising events. Business activities (Capricorn) may undergo radical
revisions. A conflict between home life (Cancer) and career ambitions
(Capricorn) could shock us into action. The 1st quarter moon in Libra
squaring both the Sun and Uranus could spur our emotions into a yelling and
screaming match, but we may find a workable resolution by striving for
balance and harmony within our relationships (Libra).
<< Sunday 1 July >>
We will be mentally stimulated thinking about managing our home versus work
dichotomy as Mercury at 7Cancer opposes Uranus at 7Capricorn. This can be
an erratic mental period, yet do not oppose suggested changes. Attempt to
consider and adopt new ideas in the home or at work. We may wonder if we
are going a bit insane today, but don't worry ... everyone is ;-}
<< Monday 2 July >>
Our physical energies may be thwarted and pent up as Mars at 23Aries
squares Saturn at 23Capricorn. Our energies may be impeded or fizzle out,
and any forced issues are likely to result in equal force opposition. We
may feel that we are racing at 80mph with our brakes on full ;-}. We should
avoid any activity which subjects us to a high possibility for broken bones.
Try to remain low-key to avoid the negative expressions of this aspects.
There is apt to be alot of sensitive talking about feelings as the Sun
conjuncts Mercury at 10Cancer. The influences are excellent for starting
new projects, especially if they pertain to home and family, mom, or plants.
This aspect will impart clear thinking concerning emotions (Cancer).
<< Tuesday 3 July >>
We may encounter disillusionment and hazy thinking as Mercury at 13Cancer
opposes Neptune at 13Capricorn. This can be great for creative endeavors
and imaginative work, but try not to daydream too much or your insights may
never see the light of our concensus reality ;-}.
<< Wednesday 4 July >>
We may be struck by some highly penetrating and profound thoughts as
Mercury at 15Cancer trines Pluto at 15Scorpio. This is an excellent day
for inventions and discoveries. It also favors long range planning and
insightful thoughts of future reforms or changes.
<< Thursday 5 July >>
Confusion and uncertainty accompanied by a fear of self-assertion may
overwhelm us as the Sun at 13Cancer opposes Neptune at 13Capricorn.
Avoid playing the victim or martyr today, but instead reflect on your self.
This aspect can yield powerful insights and artistic initiative, but be sure
to check back with reality to verify that the insights are feasible to pursue.
We may heartily enjoy a lazy daydream or two today ;-}
--------------------
Moon's Third Quarter : Saturday 7 July - Sunday 15 July
--------------------
<< Saturday 7 July >>
We will find extra stamina and will-power today in our efforts to reform
ourselves or others as the Sun at 15Cancer trines Pluto at 15Scorpio.
Much positive restructuring energy is activated by this aspect. It may
also be expressed as intense or profound sexuality. This aspect can lead
to reforms of our use of power. The full moon in Capricorn will emphasize
the interplay of our career ambitions and our family life, and Pluto may
play a role in clearing our way to a new understanding of these issues.
We can enjoy a burst of new expansive plans and ideas as Mercury at 21Cancer
conjuncts Jupiter at 21Cancer. Thoughts are optimistic on the mental level
while remaining objective. This aspect favors writing, journalism, travel,
and higher teachings. This is a great day to fly the friendly skies ;-}
<< Sunday 8 July >>
Some difficult communications and a depressing mental outlook could be in
store for us as Mercury at 22Cancer opposes Saturn at 22Capricorn. Plans
which are set up now may not be stable or well-grounded. Bolster your hopes!
<< Wednesday 11 July >>
Touchy challenges in communications, and small disagreements over practical
ideas may erupt into arguments as Mercury at 29Cancer squares Mars at 29Aries.
The aggressive Mars in Aries "blow it up" attitude conflicts with Capricorn
inflexibility and practicality. Try to let disagreements ride for now.
Later today we may have some communications lapses as Mercury enters Leo
for a stay until 29July. During this Mercury transit we will have a more
creative mental outlook and more dramatic expression of our ideas. Guard
against a tendency to be over-opinionated or arrogant.
<< Thursday 12 July >>
Mars enters Taurus today until 31August following its recent stay in Aries.
People may notice a slow-down of all activities since Mars in Aries was quite
a firecracker, but Mars in Taurus becomes much more stable and can plod
steadfastly and stubbornly towards longer range goals. This sign transition
exemplifies the two characters in the classic story of the tortoise (Mars in
Taurus) and the hare (Mars in Aries).
<< Friday 13 July >>
We may experience vacillation and doubt of our goals and ambitions as Jupiter
at 22Cancer opposes Saturn at 22Capricorn. This is a rather evenly matched
face-off between expansive and restrictive influences. Luck may seem to be
on your side, but it may end up being delayed or squashed. Try to keep your
hopes up, and do everything you can to help Jupiter win the face-off ;-}
<< Saturday 14 July >>
We will become conscious of limitations imposed by our circumstances as
the Sun at 22Cancer opposes Saturn at 22Capricorn. We may be drawn inward
and find ourselves unable to communicate effectively. We need to balance
our needs against our obligations today. Energy levels will be low, but
try not to wallow in loneliness or despair.
---------------------
Moon's Fourth Quarter : Sunday 15 July - Saturday 21 July
---------------------
<< Sunday 15 July >>
Expansive and benevolent influences will be activated as the Sun conjuncts
Jupiter at 22Cancer. This encourages optimism and philosophical concern for
issues beyond oneself. Writing and public speaking are favored. Feelings of
peace and harmony prevail, and it's an excellent time to enjoy a short trip.
<< Thursday 19 July >>
Emotional issues will come to the fore as Venus enters Cancer for a stay
until 13August. During this transit higher value is placed on relationships,
emotions, feminine issues, concerns with mother, caring, and nurturing.
We are apt to feel more affectionate, and to require affection more often.
We may become possessive or clinging in love relationships and friendships
(those crab's claws can grab and hold for a long time ;-}). We will gain
enjoyment from buying things to make our house more cozy and comfortable.
<< Saturday 21 July >>
The second consecutive new moon in Cancer occurs this evening when the Sun,
Moon and Earth are perfectly lined up to create a total solar eclipse. This
eclipse further accentuates the already energized Cancer energies to solidly
establish the footing of any resolutions concerning home and family issues.
Until the next new Moon .. direct your efforts towards your home and loved
ones, and lean on expansive and optimistic influences of Jupiter in Cancer.
It's the best thing we have going for us now .. truly a saving grace.
You may want to keep an eye on your Cancer body parts (breast, stomach) to
insure that they don't expand too much .. or you could always keep an eye
on someone else's instead ;-}

Astrology Watch Highlights
==========================
The second consecutive new moon in Cancer occurs on 21July when the Sun,
Moon and Earth are perfectly lined up to create a total solar eclipse. This
eclipse further accentuates the already energized Cancer energies to solidly
establish the footing of any resolutions concerning home and family issues,
and to further enhance the fertility and germination of our ideas and goals.
Cancer is ruled by the Moon and accentuates sensitive feelings, mother, home
and family. Cancer tends to have a soft emotional under-belly, so while
nurturing of others is enhanced, we should also nurture ourselves and our
own developing emotional roots during this Cancer Moon cycle. With the
seemingly endless career struggles bombarding us from Capricorn planets,
this self-nurturing is even more valuable now.
As a cardinal sign, Cancer energies are in motion; and as a water sign the
energy is expressed through emotions (water) rather that through ideas (air),
actions (fire), or things (earth). Using Cancer influences, we can improve
home and family conditions, and open up our inner feelings. You should guard
against becoming too moody or withdrawing into a protective crab-like shell.
To maximize growth during this new moon cycle you should emphasize family
matters, nurture loved ones (including yourself!), and start simply enjoying
yourself more as planets enter Leo (you could try baking up a suntan ;-}).
While Cancer is known for being moody, the moods can swing both ways ... so if
you find yourself on the backswing just kick your feet out and swing away ;-}.
--------------------
Moon's First Quarter : Saturday 21 July - Sunday 29 July
--------------------
<< Sunday 22 July >>
We may be motivated to provide physical energy and work to implement ideas
as Mars trines Uranus. We may experience impulsiveness and explosive urges,
so try to channel aggressiveness into constructive pursuits.
Later today, the Sun transitions from Cancer to Leo where it will stay until
20August. This is the Sun's natural sign (Sun rules Leo) and is thus the
highlight of the year for the expression of ego and personality (Sun).
This can lead to a regal/royal and potentially arrogant attitude, yet it does
not hold quite so much egotism as it sounds since Leo also imparts great
generosity, playfulness, and affection towards children. The following
chart highlights this sun-sign transition.
Cancer Leo
---------- ----------
Duality Feminine Masculine

<< Wednesday 25 July >>
Conflicts between our need for love versus our need for freedom are
highlighted today as Venus at 07Cancer opposes Uranus at 07Capricorn.
We may feel a need for intimacy and closeness, but also a fear of being
smothered. This aspect can be very confusing for love relationships, and
may lead to an abrupt ending of an existing relationship, or to an exciting
beginning of a new relationship which is unfortunately not likely to last
long. The effects of this aspect may manifest as conflicts between home
life (Cancer) and career ambitions (Capricorn).
<< Thursday 26 July >>
The first of the retrograde outer planets gradually shifts its emphasis from
the internalized retrograde energies to an externalized expression today as
Pluto turns from retrograde to direct motion at 15Scorpio. We are now
approaching the end of this period of consolidation and introversion, so get
ready to emerge over the next two months into a new year of forward progress
on the deeper aspects of our selves.
<< Saturday 28 July >>
We can easily express our feelings to others today as Venus at 10Cancer
sextiles Mars at 10Taurus. This can encourage a pleasant and potentially
romantic experience for us. With Mars in Taurus sensuality is highlighted.
---------------------
Moon's Second Quarter : Sunday 29 July - Monday 6 August
---------------------
<< Sunday 29 July >>
We may become just a bit agitated and somewhat stubborn today as the first
quarter Moon in fixed signs jostles our emotions. We may not quite be able
to figure out what is going on since our thinking and communications are a
bit up in the air as Mercury is in the midst of a transition into Virgo.
Our thoughts will turn to details and practical issues as Mercury transits
through Virgo until 5October. Mercury rules Virgo, so our mental resources
will be well-developed and very discriminating. Projects can be well-planned,
yet a rather conservative approach will probably be adopted.
<< Monday 30 July >>
We are likely to be in a bit of a fog today with confusion and deception
over our relationships as Venus at 12Cancer opposes Neptune at 12Capricorn.
Try not to be too idealistic, or to become lost in daydreams or drugs. Psychic
facilities are heightened, but our impressions may be hazy or we may fool
ourselves by coloring our impressions with what we WANT to see. We may thus
be deceived by a friend or lover. We enjoy romance, but it may not be real.
We will probably know for sure tomorrow, so give it some time.
<< Tuesday 31 July >>
Psychic impressions may become clearer as Mars at 12Taurus trines Neptune at
12Capricorn. Intuition and imagination are stimulated, and creative energies
flow smoothly. Interests may be diverted to spiritual or artistic pursuits,
and we are likely to understand what has to be done and how to go about doing
it. Motives may still seem a bit muddled and energies may be diffused, so
extend yourself into the creative flow instead of trying to carry on business
as usual. We are likely to experience pleasant dreams. There is strong
potential for utilizing our imagination in the role of creator to realize our
images in tangible terms. This is an excellent time for energetic expression
of creativity through performings arts, dancing, or spiritual healing.
<< Wednesday 1 August >>
Our emotional expressions will be intense and profound as Venus at 15Cancer
trines Pluto at 15Scorpio. Meetings with new people may feel pre-ordained,
and could result in intense and sexual relationships. New insights into the
workings behind the scenes of relationships should be carefully listened to.
<< Thursday 2 August >>
We will feel bright and alert today as Mercury at 06Virgo trines Uranus at
06Capricorn. We can generate ambitious new ideas relying upon conservative
ground-work, and some of our inventions or discoveries may be surprising or
even startling. Science and health discoveries are emphasized.
<< Saturday 4 August >>
We may be restless and have a strong desire for heavy-handed reform as
Mars at 15Taurus opposes Pluto at 15Scorpio. We may adopt aggressive and
autocratic attitudes which lead to conflicts and power struggles over
professional affairs, insurance, sexual jealosy, taxes or alimony. There
is also an increased potential for acute injury, so drive carefully.
Some form of regeneration is called for in sexual, personal, or business
relationships. As a positive expression, this aspect may provide vast
resources of energy for constructive accomplishments when cooperating with
others, provided that the energy is controlled. Be especially careful not
to coerce others, and not to be coerced by them.
<< Sunday 5 August >>
Our emotions may range from frigid to morose today as Venus at 20Cancer
opposes Saturn at 20Capricorn. Our sense of duty may be in conflict with
our desire to relate to others, so try to forget about the work that you
may have to do tomorrow and make the most of the coziness of home today.
Through relationships we may be forced to face aspects of ourselves that we
would rather not acknowledge, and we may become engulfed in self-pity.
--------------------
Moon's Third Quarter : Monday 6 August - Monday 13 August
--------------------
<< Monday 6 August >>
The Full Moon today also comprises a Partial Lunar eclipse, which encourages
dramatic actions to decisively culminate recent events. In Leo/Aquarius the
actions may involve the climax of struggles over the leadership of groups or
organizations. This Lunar eclipse may also indicate world crises resulting
from a push towards self-rule or democracy.
<< Tuesday 7 August >>
Power clashes with those in authority may arise today as the Sun at 15Leo
squares Pluto at 15Scorpio. With the Sun in Leo it is likely that a matter
of pride or principle could initiate the power clash. Watch your temper and
hold your sharp tongue. Our thoughts turn toward art, dreams, or music as
Mercury at 12Virgo trines Neptune at 12Capricorn. Thoughts are sensitive and
flow smoothly. Artists will find inspiration, but those working with facts
and figures may find them muddled.
<< Friday 10 August >>
Creative ideas could lead to reforms of long-term plans as Mercury at
15Virgo sextiles Pluto at 15Scorpio. Travel itineraries may be revised.
<< Sunday 12 August >>
Restraint of our aggressions is needed today as the Sun at 20Leo squares
Mars at 20Taurus. Events may happen quickly and catch us off guard. Since
the aspect occurs in fixed signs, stubbornness may contribute to impasses
leading to anger. Beware of accidents and pay close attention while driving.
Obstacles to self-expression can generate frustration and anger, which could
be compounded by a tendency to hold grudges. Try to let your anger go. If
you can regulate this aggression, you can enjoy invigorating energy and
willpower. Fortunately, influences which can help to enforce this restraint
are also affecting Mars today as it trines Saturn at 20Capricorn. This makes
us more likely to behave in a responsible and self-controlled manner. This
is an excellent time for solid efforts towards short or long term goals. Our
energies can be effectively focussed and disciplined with enhanced stamina to
complete difficult or boring tasks.
Also today, one of the most favorable aspects expands our outlook as Venus
conjuncts Jupiter at 29Cancer. This conjunction occurs at the same degree as
the solar eclipse which started off this moon cycle, and thus may provide
a magnified boost towards achievement of our goals for this moon cycle and
through to the next solar eclipse. This aspect confers optimism, benevolence,
wit, and interpersonal grace.
---------------------
Moon's Fourth Quarter : Monday 13 August - Monday 20 August
---------------------
<< Monday 13 August >>
Venus enters Leo for a stay until 7September. This transit confers loyalty
and generosity to lovers and friends, love of children, being in love with
love, and a passionate nature. We may become over-dramatic or egotistical,
may overspend on luxury items, and may become overly concerned with our own
personal beauty (can you say v-a-n-i-t-y? ;-}). However, people will be
generally friendly and out for a good time. This is a great party transit,
so throw one and invite everyone you know!!
<< Wednesday 15 August >>
Practical and stable thinking patterns take over today as Mercury at 20Virgo
trines Saturn at 20Capricorn. Ideas tend to be conservative and goal-oriented
yet steady progress is achievable. This aspect imparts a keen sense of what
is practical and workable and what is not.
<< Saturday 18 August >>
Expansive and jovial Jupiter enters Leo today for quite a long stay until
12September1991. During this transit we are likely to dramatize our beliefs,
act out our religions, and promote our causes with some ceremony and pomp,
while at the same time being warm-hearted and generous with worldly goods.
Creeds or cults may live openly and even ostentatiously during this time.
Admiration from others can encourage our leadership potential, yet it could
also be our downfall if we succumb to conceit and self-importance. Some
may be inclined to risk too much money in speculative interests with royal
visions but pauper results.
The next New Moon occurs in Leo on 20August. Until then, exercise care
during the difficult Mars-Pluto opposition on 4August, but otherwise try to
fertilize your inner feelings with nurturing Cancer care so you can shine
like a star when the Sun, Venus, and finally Jupiter enter warm-hearted,
extravagant, party-loving Leo.

==========================
The new moon on 20August in Leo (fixed, fire) provides an opportunity
to really have some summer fun. This sign relates to the 5th house (Leo)
activities of partying, appreciation of pleasures, affection towards
children, and also imparts a generous attitude. Leo is ruled by the Sun
so there is involvement of the personality/ego with potential for excessive
vanity. Sun-worshippers are in their element and male energies are
emphasized. Leo is fun-loving and playful, but be careful not to tease
the lion or it may turn against you.
As a fixed sign, Leo energies are stable; and as a fire sign the energy is
expressed through actions (fire) rather that through ideas (air), emotions
(water), or things (earth). As a Fixed sign, Leo energies are stable yet may
be stubborn. Using Leo influences, we can enjoy vacations and recreational
activities, play with our children, and express ourselves with ease and pride.
You should guard against too much drama, self-importance, exaggeration or
boasting. To maximize growth during this moon cycle enjoy love affairs,
play, have fun, and shine, shine, shine ;-}.
--------------------
Moon's First Quarter : Monday 20 August - Tuesday 28 August
--------------------
<< Thursday 23 August >>
The Sun transitions from Leo to Virgo today for a stay until 23September.
This will signify the entrance into the adaptable (mutable) portion of the
summer season, and the Virgo emphasis will redirect our efforts towards
service, work, and health issues. With the Sun in Virgo people are likely
to be very meticulous (especially about cleanliness), more practical, and
more analytical with a tendency towards nit-picking criticality, yet this
is an excellent time to pursue tasks which require extreme attention to
detail. The following chart highlights this sun-sign transition.

<< Saturday 25 August >>
Mercury turns retrograde at 23Virgo today until 17September. This particular
retrograde period is relatively brief (3+ weeks) but it will 'leak' out for
several days on both ends. When Mercury is retrograde our communication
faculties slow down, we become more reflective, and communications in general
falter. Try to allow extra time, and be content to let things happen at their
own pace. Don't make your schedule too tight for this period, as there will
likely be unforeseen delays. Be careful what you say or write due to
inevitable misinterpretations. Do not expect anyone to understand your idioms
or inuendos. Due to miscommunications on all levels, this is _not_ a good
time to sign contracts. This _is_ a good time for reassessing old ideas but
not so good for initiating new ideas since you may not be accurately grasping
the context. So turn down your jets, allow for delays, and reconsider any
thoughts which seem inspired.
<< Sunday 26 August >>
Relationships may be upset by fixed attitudes and stubborn behavior today
as Venus at 15Leo squares Pluto at 15Scorpio. Past secrets may surface.
Pride may have to be swallowed in order to maintain relationships.
---------------------
Moon's Second Quarter : Tuesday 28 August - Tuesday 04 September
---------------------
<< Wednesday 29 August >>
Forceful changes may be enacted purposefully, or may come by surprise today
as the Sun at 06Virgo trines Uranus at 06Capricorn. You may feel restricted
at work and want to break free. Health break-throughs are possible.
<< Friday 31 August >>
Mars enters Gemini today for a stay until 14December. During this transit
the tempo of your life may pick up considerably and your energy level will
increase. There may be possible conflicts with neighbors or relatives, yet
there is a great potential for cooperative energies to accomplish a great deal
during this time. People may identify too strongly with their beliefs, and
simple disagreement may be interpretted as a challenge to personal beliefs.
People may tend to be argumentative, so be careful not to get involved in
pointless arguments. This can be a good time to "sell" new ideas, so long as
you don't attack others with them, and it is an excellent time for vigorous
and diligent mental work.
--------------------
Moon's Third Quarter : Tuesday 04 September - Tuesday 11 September
--------------------
<< Tuesday 4 September >>
The full Moon in Pisces will heighten our emotional sensitivities as it
opposes the Sun in Virgo which may aggravate our weak spots with critical
discrimination. With the full Moon being in mutable signs we should be able
to adapt to criticism somewhat more gracefully, yet we may need to stabilize
our emotional underpinnings to avoid sinking into martyrdom.
We should be bolstered by practical and stable thinking patterns as Mercury
retrograde at 19Scorpio trines Saturn at 19Capricorn. Our ideas may tend to
be conservative and goal-oriented, yet steady progress is achievable. This
aspect imparts a keen sense of what is practical and workable and what is not,
but be wary of trusting it too far since the Mercury ideas may be a bit off.
Psychic energy is heightened today as the Sun at 12Virgo trines Neptune at
12Capricorn. We have increased potential for creating tangible results from
imagination. Daydreaming is likely, and insights may be of a practical nature.
<< Friday 7 September >>
Venus enters Virgo today for a stay until 01October. During this transit we
can become very discriminating, especially in the analysis of love feelings
and of partner's shortfalls. Try not to over-analyze romance or to constrain
relationships to follow prescribed guidelines. Avoid becoming nit-picky.
New and potentially revolutionary ideas could lead to reforms in established
plans today as Mercury retrograde at 15Virgo sextiles Pluto at 15Scorpio.
This could indicate a good time to 'undo' some former decisions, but may not
be the best time to replace it with a new course quite yet.
Today we will be dying to talk as the Sun conjuncts Mercury retrograde at
15Virgo, but whatever we say is unlikely to come out the way we intend.
We will have a compulsion to talk about practical details, but few of the
faculties required to express them clearly. We should take this time to talk
with ourselves a bit, and to reflect on our own patterns of communication.
<< Saturday 8 September >>
We get a potential energizer today as the Sun at 15Virgo sextiles Pluto at
15Scorpio. While this can impart relentless energy, it may be as a result of
circumstances which force us to exert our maximal efforts. Tasks which call
for nominal energy expenditures with little return may be disposed of in
deference to major efforts requiring destruction and regeneration.
<< Monday 10 September >>
We should try to expand (Jupiter) the use of our talents to satisfy our
desires (Mars) today as Mars at 04Gemini sextiles Jupiter at 04Leo. We may
find that luck is with use if we expend the effort to try. You may want to
pick up a lottery ticket or two today (... and if you win a million we'll
only request a %1 consultation fee ;-}). This aspect is excellent for
encouraging positive optimistic action on new projects
---------------------
Moon's Fourth Quarter : Tuesday 11 September - Tuesday 18 September
---------------------
<< Tuesday 11 September >>
There are many potent influences today as the effects of four major aspects
blend together. We may be prone to either sensitive (Venus) or sharp (Mars)
overreactions today as Venus at 05Virgo squares Mars at 05Gemini. We may
oscillate irregularly between mental aggression and conciliatory self-pity,
and may be more likely to get involved in fights or, more aptly, spats.
Gains may be achieved through hard and disciplined work as the Sun at 19Virgo
trines Saturn at 19Capricorn. This is a serious day for getting much work
accomplished and fulfilling our obligations. Try to follow practical actions
based upon careful planning.
We will get a stimulating boost of freedom-loving spirit as Venus at 05Virgo
trines Uranus at 05Capricorn. This may indicate luck in material concerns,
while spontaneous love affairs and new friendships are favored. Later our
thoughts will turn towards art, dreams, or music as Mercury at 12Virgo trines
Neptune at 12Capricorn. Our thoughts are sensitive and will flow smoothly.
Artists will find inspiration, but those working with facts and figures may
find them more than a bit muddled today.
<< Friday 14 September >>
We end a period of internal assimilation of the forces of change as Uranus
turns to direct motion at 05Capricorn. Changes which may have been in the
works for some time may begin to demonstrate tangible external effects now.
<< Saturday 15 September >>
Communication within relationships is accentuated today as Mercury conjuncts
Venus at 10Virgo. In Virgo this aspect may promote some reconciliation for
criticisms leveled at each other in the past, and with Mercury retrograde we
may recognize flaws or misunderstandings in our own thinking in the process.
<< Sunday 16 September >>
We enjoy gentle, inspirational, and creative influences today as Venus at
12Virgo trines Neptune at 12Capricorn. We are sensitive and kind, and it is
easy to arouse sympathy in others. Spiritual interest is heightened, along
with appreciation of beauty. Romance, boat cruises, and art are favored.
<< Monday 17 September >>
Thankfully we will all be able to breathe a sigh of relief as Mercury at
09Virgo returns to direct motion and begins its forward progress over the
next few days. This has been a rather brief Mercury retrograde period, and
hopefully you were able to hold your breath for most of the time ;-}.
As Mercury continues in its own sign Virgo we should be able to restablish
some semblance of organization in our thoughts and projects.
The next New Moon occurs in Virgo on 18September. Until then, ... prepare
to adopt a "Don't Worry Be Happy" and "Keep it Simple, Stupid" attitude as
Mercury turns retrograde. If you let your life find its own pace instead
of trying to force it to an accelerated speed then you can stay happy and
healthy and you will be back in forward gear on more secure footing before
you know it ;-}

The new moon on 18September in Virgo (Mutable,Earth) provides an opportunity
to clean up any messes which have been piling up. Virgo relates to the 6th
house activities of work, service, health/hygiene, and attention to detail.
Virgo is ruled by Mercury, which influences our thinking patterns. Virgo is
an earth sign, however, so the thoughts are applied in a logical and organized
manner. As a mutable sign Virgo influences are adaptable, but can become
very critical and nit-picky, and tend to classify things as black or white.
A great deal of practical work can be done during this Virgo moon cycle.
Notice that there are an overwhelming 7 planets in Earth signs at the start
of this moon cycle. All of these Earth sign planets facilitate some nice
trines between the Virgo and Capricorn planets, yet the Earthy influences
may be a bit too serious and practical to excite our spiritual yearnings.
Uranus and Mercury have both barely turned from retrograde to direct motion
during the past week, and the last two of the retrograde planets (Saturn and
Neptune) will turn direct within the next week. This indicates that a period
of internal assimilation of the forces of change (Uranus), thought (Mercury),
control (Saturn), and insight (Neptune) is now nearing completion, and new
forms of external expression may now be pursued more freely. This next moon
cycle is a key period for forward progress on all fronts. Act now since our
energy level may be somewhat depleted once Mars turns retrograde on 20October.
--------------------
Moon's First Quarter : Tuesday 18 September - Wednesday 26 September
--------------------
<< Wednesday 19 September >>
Today our passions could become excited as Venus at 16Virgo sextiles Pluto
at 16Scorpio. Friends or lovers have profound reformative effects upon us.
The subdued passions of Venus in Virgo may be brought into the open or even
shocked by the intensely sexual passions arising from Pluto in Scorpio. Also,
breakthroughs are possible in Venus matters (luxuries,friendships,women, ...).
<< Saturday 22 September >>
We can gain inner strength with personal relationships today as Venus at
19Virgo trines Saturn at 19Capricorn. Friendships and love relationships
can gain stability on a more secure and honest foundation. This harmonious
yet somewhat serious emotional climate is elevated by a dose of sublime
inspiration as Mercury at 12Virgo trines Neptune at 12Capricorn. Our ideas
may turn toward art, dreams, or music. Thoughts are sensitive and flow
smoothly. Artists will find inspiration, but those working with facts and
figures may find them a bit muddled.
<< Sunday 23 September >>
Today the Sun will transition from Virgo to Libra until 23October. This
signifies the entrance into the active (cardinal) initiating portion of the
fall season. This day is also called the Autumnal Equinox, and is a day
when daytime hours equal nighttime hours (12) all over the world. The Libra
emphasis will redirect our energies towards relationships. Libra is the
natural 7th house of complementary partners, and is ruled by Venus. Libra
is associated with balance in all forms. This is not a static balancing act,
however, but a dynamic oscillation which strives for a balanced equilibrium.
Libra can be very indecisive since both sides of an issue are fairly weighed.
Libra energy is very communicative, but may relinquish too much of one's self
in order to please someone else. This is an excellent time to work on your
relationships. The following chart highlights this sun-sign transition.
Virgo Libra
---------- ----------
Duality Feminine Masculine
Element Earth Air
Quality Mutable Cardinal
Planet Mercury Venus
Keyword 'I Analyze' 'I Balance'
Polarity Pisces Aries
Body Parts Nerves,guts lower back, buttucks
Animals Domestic pets Snakes, lizards
Also today, both Saturn (19Capricorn) and Neptune (12Capricorn) return from
retrograde to direct motion. For these outer planets this directional change
is a gradual transition which spans at least a week. When Saturn turns direct
certain restrictions which may have seemed log-jammed for some time may begin
to loosen up a bit. This identifies the start of a period during which it is
more advisable to take on new responsibilities. When Neptune turns direct
things which have been hidden for some time may now become openly known.
Also, the psychic character of Neptune suggests the initiation of a new wave
of individual and group psychic development.
---------------------
Moon's Second Quarter : Wednesday 26 September - Thursday 04 October
---------------------
<< Wednesday 26 September >>
Creative ideas could lead to reforms of long-term plans as Mercury at 16Virgo
sextiles Pluto at 15Scorpio. Travel itineraries are also subject to revision.
<< Friday 28 September >>
Practical and stable thinking patterns take over today as Mercury at 19Virgo
trines Saturn at 19Capricorn. Ideas tend to be conservative and goal-oriented
yet steady progress is achievable. This aspect imparts a keen sense of what
is practical and workable and what is not. However, we should prepare for
and beware of sudden upsets and disruptive situations which could destabilize
us as the Sun at 06Libra squares Uranus at 06Capricorn. We desire to break
down our everyday routines today, yet we may end up taking foolhardy risks to
do so. Be extra careful today since we tend to be more accident prone. Learn
to go with the flow of disruptions, and avoid arguing in the face of change.
<< Monday 1 October >>
Venus enters Libra today for a stay until 25October. Relationships, fairness,
sensitivity, and appreciation of beauty gain importance within our personal
sense of values. Since Venus rules Libra, a natural affinity is expressed
during this transit, and the Air sign influences promote many new ideas.
Also today, our ego drives will get energized as the Sun at 08Libra sextiles
Jupiter at 08Leo. With a bit of internal bolstering we can become brimming
with boisterous self-confidence and optimism. This aspect can also bring
very good luck, and things planned today should work out well. It is also
a good day for group participation activities or philosophical pursuits.
--------------------
Moon's Third Quarter : Thursday 04 October - Wednesday 10 October
--------------------
<< Thursday 4 October >>
The Full Moon is exact this morning as the Moon at 10Aries opposes the Sun
at 10Libra. The fiery Aries Moon may react sharply and swiftly, supplying
plenty of emotional imbalances to exercise the Libra Sun's balancing act. You
may be able to decisively culminate a lingering situation if you choose to.
So keep a cool head ... or take decisive action now ... it's up to you ;-}
<< Friday 5 October >>
Mercury enters Libra today (joining Venus and the Sun) for a stay until
22October. Mercury in Libra imparts an ability to reason about issues and
to see both sides clearly. For just this reason we are apt to be indecisive
or non-committal. Our thoughts turn towards keeping the peace, and attempting
to balance biased ideas with compassionate thoughts.
We may be in for some challenges today resulting from delusion, dreaminess,
creativity, or dissipation of energies as the Sun at 12Libra squares Neptune
at 12Capricorn. This may inspire some to creative expression, and may instill
psychic content into relationships, yet it may also create delusional thinking
with respect to any practical or factual reality orientation. Drugs or other
escapist tendencies may be indulged. Additional challenges may result today
as Venus at 06Libra squares Uranus at 06Capricorn. Try to avoid needlessly
disrupting or startling friends or partners over career or business
restrictions. Unexpected events could occur in relationships.
<< Saturday 6 October >>
Our energies should be flowing smoothly today as the Sun at 13Libra trines
Mars at 13Gemini. We should enjoy a high physical activity level which
could be applied to exercise, recreation, or manual work. Since both the
Sun and Mars are in Air signs, rapid progress may be possible on a variety
of mental or communicative enterprises today.
<< Monday 8 October >>
Allow for delays resulting from unexpected events today as Mercury at 06Libra
squares Uranus at 06Capricorn. There may be thunder and lightning expressed
in communications relating to business or partnerships. This may be tempered,
however, by benevolent and peaceful feelings as Venus at 09Libra sextiles
Jupiter at 09Leo. This aspect imparts creative talent and generous expression
of affection. This may also be a good day to initiate financial enterprises
or real-estate transactions
---------------------
Moon's Fourth Quarter : Wednesday 10 October - Thursday 18 October
---------------------
<< Wednesday 10 October >>
Avoid indulgences and self-pity today as Venus at 12Libra squares Neptune at
12Capricorn. Beware of being swept into depression and emotional confusion.
Watch the road carefully and don't daydream while driving.
<< Thursday 11 October >>
Our thinking is clear and sharp today, and our intellectual curiosity is
heightened as Mercury at 10Libra sextiles Jupiter at 10Leo. We may be able
to more readily grasp a clear understanding of the overall patterns of life.
<< Friday 12 October >>
Our practical thinking may become confused and deluded today as Mercury at
12Libra squares Neptune at 12Capricorn. However, this influence can also
be especially fruitful for highly creative and intuitive thinking.
We are likely to feel restrictions on our ego energies today as the Sun at
19Libra squares Saturn at 29Capricorn. Our boss may burden us with extra
unwanted responsibilities, a lover may make excessive demands on us, or we
may just generally feel down in the dumps. With the Sun square Saturn our
egos may be impeded or our energies may be worn down, and any forced issues
are likely to result in equal force opposition. Try to remain low-key to
avoid the negative expressions of this aspect.
Later today there is great potential for some very stimulating amorous
encounters as Venus at 14Libra trines Mars at 14Gemini. This aspect is
_excellent_ for creating very harmonious love relationships, but if you are
meeting someone for the first time you may want to hold off to make sure that
the depth of feeling extends beyond Gemini flirtations. Or maybe not ;-}
<< Saturday 13 October >>
Our mind and communication faculties can be lightning quick today as Mercury
at 14Libra trines Mars at 14Gemini. Our highly active mind should be able to
get points across easily and quickly. Agressive communications may ensue, but
disagreements are likely to be resolved smoothly.
<< Monday 15 October >>
We may be up for some lively and pleasant conversations today as Mercury
conjuncts Venus at 17Libra. Aspects between these two innermost planets
always activate a great deal of mental activity, and we may find that our
thoughts dance and drift to more fanciful topics today.
<< Tuesday 16 October >>
Our mental ideas and thinking patterns may face obstructions which can lead
us into a depressive turn of mind today as Mercury at 19Libra squares Saturn
at 19Capricorn. Travel arrangements may also face some snags, and we may
just feel generally down in the dumps. This depressive downturn is further
accentuated as Venus also at 19Libra also squares Saturn shortly therafter.
Depressing career or business limitations could put a damper on relationships
or partnerships. Someone may take pleasue in revealing obligations which you
may have shirked. Try to maintain a light attitude. This may be a good time
to bite the bullet and put your efforts into resolving lingering obligations
to loved ones or work duties now so that you can free yourself up for more
uplifting days to come.
The next New Moon occurs in Libra on 18October. Until then.. finish cleaning
up any physical or emotional messes, start exploring the depth of compassion
in your relationships, and start warming up for a new wave of firmly grounded
personal advancement as Mercury, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune all swing around
to project the full expression of your native charms out into the world ;-}

to mend relationships which may have become imbalanced. Libra relates to the
7th house concerns of relationships, partners, compromise and balance. Libra
is ruled by Venus, which relates to our expressions of love and our sense of
values. Libra is an air sign, however, so love is expressed through ideas and
communications, as opposed to more earthy and hedonistic love expressions
associated with the fixed earth sign Taurus (which is also ruled by Venus).
As a cardinal sign Libra energies actively engage in a balancing act which
results in a dynamic equilibrium as opposed to a static steady-state. Libra
energy can quickly identify fair compromises, yet Libra imparts an urge to
please and so may give away too much of 'self' in order to keep the peace.
To maximize the benefits of this moon cycle, address the sources of disharmony
in your relationships with compassion, yet be sure to save some for yourself.

Moon's First Quarter : Thursday 18 October - Friday 26 October
--------------------
<< Saturday 20 October >>
Mars at 14Gemini turns retrograde today for about ten weeks until 01Jan91.
While all other outer planets turn retrograde in just over a year, and inner
planets turn retrograde several times a year, the two year orbital cycle of
Mars interacts with earth's one year cycle to result in a Mars retrograde
period only once every two years+ .. the rarest retrograde event. Mars
retrograde periods indicate a general repression and internalization of the
aggressive and desirous Mars energies making it difficult for us to press
forward in any direction and potentially leading to frustration and
misdirection of anger. Reconsolidation and more defensive positions are
suggested. Also, a few extra rules of thumb about Mars retrograde periods ..
if you buy a car, or actually any machinery (generally ruled by Mars), during
this period it is likely to be very accident prone so be sure to get good
insurance or warranties .. if you start a sexual relationship during this
period it is more likely to end in enmity .. if you initiate a lawsuit during
this period you are likely to lose (the defensive position is favored). So ..
lay low for a while on the aggressive front, reevaluate the directions which
you have been pushing in, and prepare yourself for entering a new two year
period of forceful advancement toward your goals when the new year begins.
<< Sunday 21 October >>
Today should be a talkative and social day as the Sun conjuncts Mercury at
28Libra. We are likely to entertain Libran thoughts of union, peace, joining
forces, beauty and aesthetics. Any disagreements or misunderstandings are
likely to be resolved in a peaceful manner.
<< Monday 22 October >>
Mercury enters fixed water sign Scorpio for a stay until 10November.
With Mercury in Scorpio our communications can become imbued with deep
emotion. Our mental position may be unwavering and stubborn, and may be
presented forcefully and relentlessly. During this time we may become
fascinated with thoughts of life after death or other occult topics, and
profound insights may be revealed. This transit is generally favorable
for joint financial resources.
<< Tuesday 23 October >>
The Sun transitions from Libra to Scorpio for a stay until 22November.
This signifies our entrance into the stable (fixed) portion of the fall
season. Scorpio emphasis will redirect our efforts towards 8th house concerns
of sex, death (with rebirth), and other people's money. An apt descriptive
phrase for the fixed water sign Scorpio is "Still waters run deep". The
following chart highlights this sun-sign transition.

<< Thursday 25 October >>
We may face a brief period of confusion about love interests and friendships
as Venus transitions from Libra to Scorpio for a stay until 18November. We
will be changing from a congenial and communicative concern with relationships
(Libra) to a deep and intense emotional concern with sex, death and rebirth
(Scorpio). Venus in Scorpio provides an opportunity to stabilize relationships
through deep emotional contact. Venus in Scorpio can be relentless and
unyielding, so this can be a very difficult time to break off a relationship.
Psychic sensitivities are heightened, and can be effectively utilized for
self-improvement. Strong feelings of destiny and fate may be associated with
relationships at this time. Infatuation with sex and death can be transcended
through considerations of the regenerative aspects of the death/rebirth cycle.
The old must die to make way for the new. As Venus transits through Scorpio
it will form sextiles with Uranus, Neptune and Saturn in Capricorn, and
hopefully these favorable aspects will soften the difficult conjunction of
Venus with Pluto on 8November.
---------------------
Moon's Second Quarter : Friday 26 October - Friday 2 November
---------------------
<< Friday 26 October >>
Our mind is stimulated with quick intuitive and inventive thinking as
Mercury at 06Scorpio sextiles Uranus at 06Capricorn. Our original dramatic
expression is enhanced, and inventions or discoveries are favored in
electronics, science or engineering. The first quarter moon square from
Aquarius to Scorpio may indicate some challenging discrepancies between what
we feel and what we intellectually learn to be true.
<< Sunday 28 October >>
Daylight Savings is over today, so be sure that you set your clock BACK
in the wee hours of the morning so that you can enjoy an extra hour on
this free-floating Sunday which doesn't have a single astrological aspect.
<< Monday 29 October >>
Practical new work-related discoveries or useful new inventions are possible
today as the Sun at 06Scorpio sextiles Uranus at 06Capricorn. This aspect
may bring some mild relief from recent tensions, and can encourage the
redirection of our efforts into exciting new areas.
<< Tuesday 29 October >>
We can bolster optimistic attitudes towards long-range goals today as
Mercury at 12Scorpio squares Jupiter at 12Leo. This aspect can be favorable,
and at this time we may be able to grasp the whole picture and think in big,
ideal, abstract terms. We may be sloppy with details, however, and may be
inclined to overlook important details which conflict with larger plans.
Our intuitive awareness and intellectual cleverness are heightened as Mercury
at 12Scorpio sextiles Neptune at 12Capricorn. This aspect imparts keen
perceptions, and stimulates a fertile imagination which may make us more
than a bit dreamy. Creative writing is especially favored. Unexpected
unusual and exciting opportunities may arise as Venus at 06Scorpio sextiles
Uranus at 06Capricorn. We may strive for a fun-loving social life, and may
have unique original ideas in creating art, music, or money. Whatever brings
fun and excitement into your life, go out and do it today ;-}.
<< Thursday 1 November >>
As the Sun conjuncts with Venus at 08Scorpio we are likely to feel rather
pleasant, yet in a deep and profound way. We are likely to express more
emotional self-involvement with romance and friendships.
--------------------
Moon's Third Quarter : Friday 2 November - Friday 9 November
--------------------
<< Friday 2 November >>
Be subtle with communications today as Mercury conjuncts Pluto at 17Scorpio.
Don't try to force people or it could lead to resentment. Be a reformer, not
a dictator. This aspect is more opt to express itself negatively today as
the fixed sign full moon from Taurus to Scorpio energizes our emotions and
stubborness. Try to keep a lid on it, and go with the flow.
<< Sunday 4 November >>
Our creative and romantic imagination is aroused as Venus at 12Scorpio
sextiles Neptune at 12Capricorn. Our appreciation of beauty and our
sensitivity to the feelings of others are enhanced. Venus is also
involved in a square with Jupiter at 12Leo which doesn't indicate serious
problems, yet can cause personal let-downs of an emotional nature. This
aspect may bring out cruder mannerisms lacking in social grace. We may
procrastinate and waste time on unproductive pursuits.
We enjoy a clear mind and good judgement as Mercury at 20Scorpio sextiles
Saturn at 20Capricorn, so use this time to lay the groundwork for future
plans. This aspect enhances our capacity for organization, and encourages
us to leave nothing to chance. Carefully recording your dreams today may
yield additional insights. We may become mystical, meditative, and dreamy
as the Sun at 12Scorpio sextiles Neptune at 12Capricorn, which makes us very
sensitive to the situations of others. This aspect stimulates intuitive and
creative faculties, and imparts an appreciation of art and beauty. We gain
insights into the workings of the sub-conscious mind which provide valuable
material for productive spiritual development. Romance tends toward the
exotic now, so use your imagination... ;-}
<< Monday 5 November >>
With a bit of internal bolstering we can become brimming with boisterous
self-confidence and optimism as the Sun at 12Scorpio sextiles Jupiter at
12Leo. Our ego drives will be energized, and we may enjoy exceptional good
luck. Things planned today should work out well, and it is a good day for
group participation activities or philosophical pursuits.
We should try to expand our abilities to satisfy our desires today as Mars
at 12Gemini sextiles Jupiter at 12Leo. We may find that luck is with us if
we expend the effort to try. This aspect is normally excellent for positive
optimistic action on new projects, but with Mars retrograde we may be better
off setting up an optimistic stage for future actions.
<< Thursday 8 November >>
Some intense and profound sexual impulses may be released today which could
reform our values and our concepts of love as Venus conjuncts Pluto at
17Scorpio. Pluto reforms may not be pleasant, but they can destroy all
outdated concepts to allow for a fresh phase of regeneration to start anew.
Love and relationship reforms may be initiated by the exposure of secrets.
---------------------
Moon's Fourth Quarter : Friday 9 November - Saturday 17 November
---------------------
<< Saturday 10 November >>
Intense experiences may force us to become involved as the Sun conjuncts
Pluto at 17Scorpio. We may have to repair either a posession (eg. car) or
a situation which has broken down to the point that it must change radically
in order to proceed. We may be able to bring a new sense of structure and
order to broken relationships as Venus at 20Scorpio squares Saturn at
20Capricorn. This can indicate an excellent time to sit down and arrive at
a conscious understanding of what each person expects from the other in a
relationship. Venus sextile Saturn favors tasks requiring thoroughness and
attention to detail.
While it may take a day or two to sink in, we are likely to feel like a huge
load is taken off of our minds when the serious and deep Mercury in Scorpio
ideas are replaced with the free-spirited laissez-faire attitudes of Mercury
in Sagittarius. We will enjoy this until 01December, during which time we
will become more interested in higher-learning and open philosophical
discussions. We must be careful to maintain at least some control over what
we choose to express openly or we may end up with both feet squarely in our
mouths, with other people becoming offended.
<< Tuesday 13 November >>
We enjoy an orderly state of mind and self-discipline which is excellent for
constructive work as the Sun at 21Scorpio sextiles Saturn at 21Capricorn.
This aspect confers constructive ambition, good organization, and a mature
attitude. This is a very favorable time for important communications with
those in power. We are likely to make steady progress toward goals, and
enjoy an enhanced sense of dignity. Some initiative and patience may be
required in order to reap the benefits of this aspect.
<< Friday 16 November >>
We could be in for a hot one today as Mercury at 09Sagittarius opposes
Mars retrograde at 09Gemini. This can lead to fights, with more communication
potentially leading to more fights. They may be petty squabbling fights as
opposed to fights with some clear goal in mind. Be careful of expressing
yourself in too abrupt a manner as this is bound to inflame those you are
relating to. Also, be careful driving during this period since accidents
could be more likely.
The next New Moon occurs in Scorpio on 17November. Until then .. find a
long stabilizing pole to steady yourself with compassion in a balancing act
on the tight-rope of relationships. Then cool your jets to settle into Mars
retrograde reevaluations of which direction to focus your go-get-em attitude.

Astrology Watch Highlights
==========================
The new moon on 17november in the fixed water sign Scorpio provides an
opportunity to rebuild and stabilize our emotions. Scorpio is ruled by Pluto
(reform, rebirth) and relates to 8th house concerns of sex, death with
rebirth, and benefit from other people's money. As a fixed sign, Scorpio
energies are stable yet often stubborn and relentless, and thus as a water
sign it is associated with the most persistent and tenacious emotions. As
with other water signs (Cancer, Pisces) Scorpio energies can be sensitive to
insult, however the negative form of reaction does not manifest as depression
(Cancer) or insecurity (Pisces) but rather may be harbored and expressed as
fuming, resentment, or possibly malevolence. Scorpio is associated with the
genitals and imparts strong sensual/sexual overtones. Psychic faculties are
sensitized in Scorpio.
Since Scorpio's ruler Pluto is currently transiting through Scorpio, all
Scorpio/Pluto effects will be heightened during this moon cycle. The way to
maximize your growth during this new moon cycle is to avoid clinging to your
emotional baggage, and allow Pluto energies to destroy all unnecessary
emotional attachments of the past. Problems will arise if you fight against
Pluto's natural process of winnowing out obsolete emotional attachments.
Mars is still retrograde for about six more weeks until 01Jan91, with
Jupiter turning retrograde on 30November, and Mercury also turning retrograde
for the last three weeks of 1990. This clearly indicates a time of
reconsideration and reconsolidation as opposed to a time of forceful new
progressive developments. So settle in and experience your current situation
fully, take a close look at yourself and your directions, and make a few
mid-course adjustments to stabilize your current position .. but hold off on
pursuing bold new directions until 1991.
--------------------
Moon's First Quarter : Saturday 17 November - Sunday 25 November
--------------------
<< Sunday 18 November >>
We begin a period of elevated attitudes today, becoming more freedom-loving
and optimistic as Venus enters Sagittarius until 12December. The Sagittarian
influence provides a great time for parties and philosophical friendships,
but be careful since people may say what's on their mind with total disregard
for effects on others. Keep your mouth in check and you should have fun ;-}.
<< Monday 19 November >>
Our mental outlook follows Venus' lead with optimistic viewpoints as Mercury
at 13Sagittarius trines Jupiter at 13Leo. This aspect may be accompanied by
job opportunities for interesting and rewarding work, or promotions. At this
time communications are smooth and philosophically minded. We demonstrate a
good balance between attention to detail versus grasp of the comprehensive
view. Health may improve through relaxation. This aspect is favorable for
study, writing, teaching, interacting with the communications media, or
travel related to philosophy, religion, or higher education.
<< Thursday 22 November >>
The Sun transitions from Scorpio to Sagittarius today for a stay until
21December. This transition will signify our entrance into the mutable
(changable) portion of the fall season. The Sagittarian emphasis will redirect
our efforts towards the 9th house concerns of philosophy, higher education,
and travel, and will impart a free-spirited and laissez-faire attitude.
Sagittarian energy is aptly characterized as a care-free and happy wanderer.
The Sun's entrance into Sagittarius (ruled by Jupiter) will certainly lighten
up most people's hearts following a deeply emotional excursion through Scorpio.
The following chart highlights this sun-sign transition.

<< Friday 23 November >>
A conflict may arise between our expressions of love or fun (Venus in Sag..)
and our expressions of desire or aggression (Mars) as Venus at 07Sag opposes
Mars retrograde at 07Gemini. Here we must attempt to rise above the apparent
conflict to recognize the complementary nature of these expressions, and thus
provide a balance between our love and aggression. Venus expressions are
likely to be overly concerned with personal freedom issues, while Mars
expressions may be charming, yet superficial and misdirected. Mars in
Gemini can lead to desires to play-the-field in the romantic arena, and can
result in multiple physical yet emotionally shallow relationships. Venus/Mars
aspects imply physical attractions, and many first-time physical encounters
may arise today, with a fitting motto for today being "If you can't be with
the one you love, then love the one you're with." But with Mars retrograde
in Gemini this is not a good time to start an enduring relationship, and our
advice for today is "If you can't be with the one you love, then flirt a bit
and have some fun .. and then call the one you love to remind yourself of
what love really means to you."
---------------------
Moon's Second Quarter : Sunday 25 November - Sunday 2 December
---------------------
<< Tuesday 27 November >>
Try to stay out of fights today as the Sun at 05Sagittarius opposes Mars
retrograde at 05Gemini. Problems may arise from quick-witted comments which
rub someone the wrong way, and Sagittarian openness could provide blunt and
cutting come-backs. This aspect occurs in mutable air and fire signs so we
can hopefully adapt without the situation becoming combustible. During this
period it is advised to avoid battles, avoid extensive travel, and be
extremely careful with all combustible materials (and be sure to turn your
iron off!). Aggression is likely to be misplaced, and is as likely to be
turned back towards you. Relationships may also suffer from insensitive
'me-first' attitudes.
<< Wednesday 28 November >>
We may become romantically inclined today as Venus at 13Sagittarius trines
Jupiter at 13Leo .. one of the most positive astrological aspects. Venus
trine Jupiter is also perfect for a bit of redecorating around the home.
Artistic endeavors involving music ar art are likely to give you pleasure and
turn out well due to the great creative potential. This is a time when we
may finally receive deserved rewards which were previously earned, and when
we are likely to demonstrate more benevolence toward others.
<< Friday 30 November >>
Our expansive tendencies begin settling back into a period of consolidation
today as Jupiter at 13Leo turns retrograde until 30March91. This is not the
best period to buy a new house or property, or to build additions onto your
current property. In fact you should reconsider expansion of any kind.
Instead you should attempt to complete and consolidate your current efforts
in preparation for a new wave of expansion beginning in Apr91.
<< Saturday 1 December >>
We enter a period where orderly and structured thought processes are likely
to be applied toward career development interests as Mercury enters Capricorn
for a stay until 25December. Much practical work can be accomplished during
this transit. We are likely to be more prepared and organized in our holiday
shopping, although there is a strong tendency to look for bargains to the
point of being rather cheap. Hopefully the other Sagittarian influences will
help those buying gifts for us to spend a bit more freely ;-} We may be faced
with restrictions on our free thinking, or with added work responsibilities.
In either case we are likely to be mentally challenged by ourselves or others.
--------------------
Moon's Third Quarter : Sunday 2 December - Saturday 8 November
--------------------
<< Wednesday 5 December >>
This should be an optimistic and happy day or two as the Sun at 13Sagittarius
(ruled by Jupiter) trines Jupiter retrograde at 13Leo. With both in fire
signs our activity level and extravagant fun-loving party attitude may get a
much-appreciated boost. With Jupiter currently retrograde we may end up a
bit over-extended, but we should still take this aspect and run with it!
Throw a party, or at least attend one. This aspect is also favorable to home
renovations, yet with Jupiter retrograde you may be better off completing
some home renovations which never quite got finished, instead of starting on
new renovation plans.
---------------------
Moon's Fourth Quarter : Saturday 8 December - Sunday 16 December
---------------------
<< Monday 10 December >>
Exciting conversations which may be energized by a slip of the tongue or two
are highlighted today as Mercury conjuncts Uranus at 08Capricorn. Listen to
inspirational new twists on some old out-dated concepts, especially at work
or in regard to practical concerns and goals.
<< Wednesday 12 December >>
A bit of the Sagittarian fun will wear off today as Venus enters practical
and serious Capricorn for a stay until 05January91. Venus is weighted down
by Capricorn's willingness to sacrifice current rewards for ambitions and
eventual potential successes. However, professional and business activites
can work harmoniously, and it is a good time to renovate at work. Older
more mature people may be regarded as more attractive now.
<< Friday 14 December >>
People may have some confusion about their direction today as retrograde
Mars enters Taurus for a stay until 21Jan91. People may notice a slow-down
since Mars in Gemini has been quick and active, but Mars in Taurus is much
more stable and can plod steadfastly and stubbornly toward longer range goals.
Today we also enter yet another mentally blas� period as Mercury at
10Capricorn turns retrograde until 03January91. If you really want to
convince yourself of astrological influence, take a look at some live news
broadcasts over the next couple of days. If past experience is any guide,
you will see dramatic increases in mumbledy-mouth disease, often with
newscasters applying totally incorrect emphasis for story lines. Also,
live patched-in reports will turn fuzzy, or not show up at all, or will be
impossible to understand when some giant noisy engine descends upon the
newscaster. Who said that news can't be fun ;-}
When Mercury turns retrograde our communication faculties slow down, we
become more reflective, and communications in general falter. This does not
have to be such a negative period so long as you don't try to push..push..push
everything to completion. Try to allow extra time, and be content to let
things happen at their own pace. You definitely don't want a tight schedule
when Mercury is retrograde, so try to get as much of your holiday shopping as
possible completed before today.
The next new Moon occurs in Sagittarius on December 16th. Until then ...
work along with retrograde Mars to apply new ideas, goals, and directions
internally now instead of externally .. and stabilize your emotional Scorpio
underpinnings to allow yourself to have a free-wheeling good time as the
Sagittarian influences take over ;-}

Astrology Watch Highlights
==========================
The new moon on 16December in the mutable fire sign Sagittarius provides us
with opportunities to explore the world around us, and in the process, to
expand our own personal philosophies. Sagittarius is ruled by benefic Jupiter
(expansion) and relates to the 9th house concerns of philosophy, higher
learning, travel, and exploration. As a mutable sign, Sagittarian energies
are flexible, and are characterized by a care-free laissez-faire attitude.
As with other fire signs (Aries, Leo) Sagittarian energies are associated with
dynamic and fast-moving activities, and can seem insensitive to the feelings
of those who move a bit more slowly. Sagittarian expressions can often appear
to be out-of-control, and eccentric actions may be undertaken for their shock
value alone .. usually all in fun ;-}. Don't ask anyone for their opinion
unless you truly want to know, because the Sagittarian "who cares what anyone
else thinks" attitude could yield some very blunt and startling responses.
The new moon in Sagittarius also indicates interest in foreign affairs, and
may provide some new and expansive concepts relating to world peace. As the
buildup of Capricorn planets is dominant during this moon cycle, individuals
are more aware of their own sense of structure and of their ego concerns.
People are likely to place more emphasis on work, including acceptance of
added responsibilities and more concern for long-range planning. The way to
maximize your growth during this Sagittarian new moon cycle is to lighten up
your attitude and freely explore new fields which you find interesting and
emotionally rewarding.
Mars and Mercury are still retrograde for a couple more weeks, along with
Jupiter for a longer period. Thus this is still a time for reconsideration
and reconsolidation, but you should be starting to get a sense of which
directions you should pursue since the time for forceful new action is
drawing near, and forward motion should pick up significantly in January.
No astrological guide for the holiday season would be complete without an
indication of the void-of-course moon periods which occur during the height
of the seasonal shopping frenzy. We are pretty lucky this year since several
void-of-course moon periods occur during night-time non-shopping periods, so
there are only the following two shopping periods to avoid :
Wednesday 19December 7:37pm through 10:00pm
Monday 24December 1:26pm through 4:46p
Try to avoid making major purchases during these times since such gifts are
likely to end up being inappropriate, defective, a wrong size, unappreciated,
over-priced, or returned for one reason or another. It should be easy this
year since only Wednesday night is actually affected, because if you wait 'til
24December to pick up a gift then you probably don't care whether it fits or
not, but just whether it is wrapped in time. So avoid void-of-course moon
gifts unless they are for someone you don't like very much ;-), and if anyone
is heading out to buy _you_ a gift on Wednesday night, hide their wallet ;-}.
--------------------
Moon's First Quarter : Sunday 16 December - Monday 24 December
--------------------
<< Tuesday 18 December >>
The first two of three conjunctions between Mercury, Venus, and Uranus occur
today at 09Capricorn. First Mercury conjuncts Uranus, which also occurred
recently when Mercury was direct. Exciting conversations may be energized by
a slip of the tongue or two, and with Mercury retrograde we may not quite
grasp the underlying intentions. Listen to inspirational new twists on some
old out-dated concepts, especially at work or in regard to practical concerns
and goals. Next, Mercury conjuncts Venus which enhances communication within
our relationships, although with Mercury retrograde it may indicate a
reevaluation of communications in our relationships. In Capricorn this aspect
is likely to have more of a business emphasis rather than a romantic one, and
it may stimulate our mercantile abilities.
<< Wednesday 19 December >>
The last of the clustered conjunctions occurs today as Venus conjuncts Uranus
at 09Capricorn. This aspect indicates excitement and unpredictability in our
love lives when we may be attracted to a new love interest. With Venus in
Capricorn the new love may be someone older or someone met through work. To
get a comprehensive impression of the overall mood of this period, you should
assimilate the charactersitics of all three aspects which occur at the same
degree since all of these aspects will be active during this period.
<< Friday 21 December >>
Today the Sun transitions from Sagittarius (mutable fire) to Capricorn
(cardinal earth). This is called the Winter Solstice, the first day of
Winter, and has the least sun-light of the year (in the Northern hemisphere).
It also signifies the entrance into the cardinal (active, initiating) portion
of the winter season. The Capricorn emphasis redirects our efforts towards
the 10th house concerns of career, status and prestige. Capricorn energy
focuses upon the construction of sturdy foundations of all kinds (physical,
emotional, spiritual, etc.), and can provide a required base for the emotional
family-related expressions of its opposite/complementary sign Cancer.
The Sun's entrance into Capricorn (ruled by Saturn) will certainly bring a
more serious and sober attitude to people after the lighter expressions of
Sagittarius. Capricorn energies can endure great sacrifices to move ahead in
a career. Caring and compassion for others must be developed, however, or the
outward success will end up being as empty and unfulfilling as the sacrifices
which led there. The following chart highlights this sun-sign transition.

<< Sunday 23 December >>
We may enjoy a creative and dreamily romantic time today as Venus conjuncts
Neptune at 13Capricorn. This feeling may be enhanced if we can extend beyond
the practicality of Capricorn to enjoy the aspect more fully. Use of drugs
or meditative states may also be highlighted.
---------------------
Moon's Second Quarter : Monday 24 December - Monday 31 December
---------------------
<< Monday 24 December >>
Today we may be dying to talk as the Sun conjuncts Mercury at 02Capricorn.
However, with Mercury retrograde whatever we say is unlikely to come out the
way we intend. Our compulsion will be to talk about sobering Capricornian
topics, but we have few of the faculties required to express them clearly.
Take this time to carry on a dialog with yourself, and to reflect on your
own inner patterns of communication.
Tonight is Christmas Eve, and while a first quarter Moon square Sun will add
some energy to our yuletide gatherings, the Aries Moon could singe Santa's
beard, so if someone comes up to you and says something abrupt and obnoxious,
just try to let it go...
<< Tuesday 25 December >>
Christmas day seems to shape up very well, and we are likely to feel like a
load is taken off of our minds when the practical Mercury-in-Capricorn ideas
are replaced with the free-spirited laissez-faire attitudes of Mercury in
Sagittarius. We will have finally completed all of our gift buying, for
better or worse, and we will finally be able to sit back and relax. Mercury
is retrograde, but this just makes it more important to sit back and reflect,
instead of charging into work tasks. While Mercury is in Sagittarius we will
become more interested in higher-learning and open philosophical discussions.
We must be careful to maintain at least some control over what we choose to
express openly or we may end up with both feet squarely in our mouths, with
other people becoming offended.
<< Thursday 27 December >>
Our love life or affective nature may undergo somewhat radical yet contructive
reforms as Venus in Capricorn sextiles Pluto in Scorpio. With Venus in
Capricorn this may involve our career ambitions or work surroundings, and with
Pluto in Scorpio the reforms may be intense and sensual. As with all sextile
aspects we must take the initiative or it may not happen. Don't just sit at
home today .. go out dancing or do something fun!
--------------------
Moon's Third Quarter : Monday 31 December - Monday 7 January
--------------------
<< Monday 31 December >>
We kick off this New Year's Eve with an active cardinal Full Moon energizing
the Cancer/Capricorn polarity. Adding to the excitement is a simultaneous
conjunction between the Sun and Uranus at 09Capricorn. This aspect brings an
interest in shaking off old routines, and we can enjoy an exciting inner drive
to be different. It is a great time to break stale habits .. just what New
Year's Eve is for. This aspect can impart personal magnetism and eccentricity,
and can also indicate practical innovations at work. Don't get caught up
struggling with boring stuff today .. break free and do something exciting!
<< Tuesday 1 January >>
While technically Mars turns direct today, it will take a few days before
manifesting any effects. When it does, it signifies a 'coming out' of our
desire nature from retrograde introspection to direct action, and relief from
the foul-ups of misdirected aggression. Frustrations which may have built up
for some time may now be expressed and/or resolved through practical down-to-
earth and steady (Taurean) actions.
Later tonight we may experience a 'wet blanket' atmosphere as Venus conjuncts
Saturn at 25Capricorn. This may not be much fun, but it can be effectively
utilized to reestablish relationships on a firmer foundation over the next
couple of days. There may be work-imposed restrictions or delays, but we
may feel a bit better if we spend some time redecorating our offices.
<< Thursday 3 January >>
There is great potential for some stimulating amorous encounters as Venus at
28Capricorn trines Mars at 28Taurus. This aspect is _excellent_ for creating
very harmonious love relationships ... so make your moves now. ;-}
Thankfully we will all be able to breathe a sigh of relief as Mercury at
23Sagittarius returns to direct motion and begins its forward progress over
the next few days. This has been a very brief Mercury retrograde period,
so hopefully you were able to hold your breath for most of the time ;-}.
As Mercury continues in Sagittarius we can enjoy open and free-wheeling
philosophical communications, although we may have to pull in the reins a few
times to vaoid insulting others through our bluntness.
<< Friday 4 January >>
Today we can be creative in a tangible or practical way as the Sun conjuncts
Neptune at 10Capricorn. We may have dreamy or idealistic business thoughts,
and may grasp new insights into business planning processes. There is a
potential for deception today, so keep your eyes and ears open. Be careful
not to overdo it with drugs or alcohol.
<< Saturday 5 January >>
We may adopt a more detached and mental approach to love as Venus enters
Aquarius for a stay until 28January. We may express more idealistic affection
for 'humanity' than for any individual person. We may have difficulty
empathizing with emotional problems of others since we may concern ourselves
only with the big picture and overlook significant personal issues. Group
activities and humanitarian causes have more of an attraction for us now.
---------------------
Moon's Fourth Quarter : Monday 7 January - Tuesday 15 January
---------------------
<< Tuesday 10 January >>
We may experience new and reformative ideas and actions as the Sun at
20Capricorn sextiles Pluto at 20Scorpio. We are likely to experience intense
emotions and the strength of our convictions. This is a good day to make
productive changes of a rebuilding nature.
<< Sunday 13 January >>
Extravagance, indulgence, exaggeration, and wasted time are likely today
as Venus opposes Jupiter, and even more so since Jupiter is in Leo. But we
deserve a bit of extravagance ;-}. Since both planets are considered to be
benefic this opposition aspect is only slightly troublesome, and may in fact
be rather enjoyable. The opposition indicates some impractical expansiveness
or impulsiveness, in this case an expansion (Jupiter) of idealistic (Aquarius)
and elegant (Leo) views concerning love and beauty (Venus). You may "have to"
buy that "perfect" and "beautiful" gift for a loved one, even though it costs
twice what you wanted to spend. Our bank balances are thankful that this
aspect didn't occur before the holidays :-)
<< Monday 14 January >>
We reenter a period where orderly and structured thought processes are likely
to be applied toward career development interests as Mercury enters Capricorn
for a stay until 5February. Much practical work can be accomplished during
this transit. We are likely to be more prepared and organized, yet we may be
faced with restrictions on free thinking, or with added work responsibilities.
In either case we are likely to be mentally challenged by ourselves or others.
The next new Moon occurs in Capricorn on January 15th.
Until then ... allow circumstances to congeal over the next two weeks until
Mercury and Mars turn direct, then begin to take action and make your mark.
Have a Happy Holiday Season!!
Lisa and Todd

Astrology Watch Highlights
==========================
The new moon on 15January in the cardinal earth sign Capricorn provides us
with opportunities to construct a solid concrete foundation upon which to
erect the physical, emotional, and spiritual structures of our lives.
Capricorn is ruled by Saturn (restriction) and relates to the 10th house
concerns of career, prestige, ambition, and status. As a cardinal sign,
Capricorn energies are active, and are characterized by workaholic tendencies
and more serious and sober attitudes. With Capricorn energies, individuals
become more aware of their own sense of structure and of their ego concerns.
People are likely to place more emphasis on work, including acceptance of
added responsibilities and more concern for long-range planning. This new
moon is accentuated by a solar eclipse, which indicates that projects
initiated at this time may have a pronounced effect which can last for a
period of up to six months.
Capricorn energies can endure great sacrifices for career ambitions, but they
can often ignore the personal compassion and caring which makes life worth
living. As with other earth signs (Taurus, Virgo) Capricorn energies are
associated with practical, rational, and generally down-to-earth activities,
which may seem overly constrained to some of the freer energies of the zodiac.
The way to maximize your growth during this new moon cycle is to pay attention
to job related issues, and to strengthen your professional and business
foundations. However, retain an awareness of the qualities of the opposing
sign Cancer by remaining sensitive to home and family issues, and thus embrace
both sides of the dichotomy between conscious will and tangible success
(Capricorn) versus unconsious mind and intangible feelings (Cancer).
There will be a significant shift of energies as the Sun, Mercury, Mars and
Saturn all move from earth to air signs. While the Sun and Mercury both
transit through Aquarius for about a month, and Mars stays in Gemini for 2�
months, Saturn moves into Aquarius for the next 2� years! This major
transition ushers in a new phase of our deepest personal development.
--------------------
Moon's First Quarter : Tuesday 15 January - Wednesday 23 January
--------------------
<< Friday 18 January >>
Restrictions or increased responsibilities may weigh heavily upon us today
and may be sobering or depressing as the Sun conjuncts Saturn at 28Capricorn.
This may also represent a disciplinarian attitude towards using authority.
Arthritis or joint pain may also kick up and restrict some people's mobility.
Try to do something practical today, or reconsider long-range plans.
<< Sunday 20 January >>
We should enjoy a high physical activity level which could be applied to
exercise, recreation, or manual work as the Sun at 29Capricorn trines Mars at
29Taurus. Since both the Sun and Mars are in Earth signs, rapid progress may
be possible on a variety of practical or career-oriented enterprises today.
Soon after this, the Sun transitions from cardinal earth sign Capricorn to
fixed air sign Aquarius today for a stay until 18February. This signifies the
entrance into the fixed (stable) portion of the winter season. The Aquarian
emphasis will redirect our efforts towards the 11th house concerns of groups,
social work, and worthy causes. Aquarius is ruled by Uranus which contributes
erratic, ingenious, and revolutionary influences, with an emphasis on science,
high technology, or astrology. Aquarian energy can be perceptive, detached,
and impersonal, and can provide a required intellectual base for leadership
expressions of its opposite/complementary sign Leo.
The Sun's entrance into Aquarius will bring a more detached and intellectual
attitude to people after the heavier expressions of Capricorn. Aquarian energy
invariably attempts to idealize the human condition, denying personal foibles
and being generally impersonal, yet pursuing social and humanitarian issues
and group goals. Aquarian energy feels more compassion for idealistic
concerns of 'humanity' than for the concerns of actual individual human beings
who are inevitably not so ideal. The following chart highlights this sun-sign
transition.
Capricorn Aquarius
--------- --------
Duality Feminine Masculine
Element Earth Air
Quality Cardinal Fixed
Planet Saturn Uranus
Keyword 'I Use' 'I Know'
Polarity Cancer Leo
Body Parts Bones, Joints Circulation, Shins, Ankles
Animals Goats Large Birds
Later today there is another shift of energies as Mars transitions into
Gemini for a stay until 2April. While Mars is in Gemini the tempo of our
life may pick up considerably and our energy level will likely increase.
There may be possible conflicts with neighbors or relatives, yet there is a
potential for cooperative energies to accomplish a great deal. However,
people may identify too strongly with their beliefs, and simple disagreement
may be interpretted as a challenge to personal beliefs. People may tend to
be argumentative, so be careful not to get involved in pointless arguments.
This can be a good time to "sell" new ideas, so long as you don't attack
others with them, and it is an excellent time for vigorous and diligent
mental work.
<< Monday 21 January >>
We may show a lack of consideration for the emotional feelings of others
today as Venus at 20Aquarius squares Pluto at 20Scorpio. Emotional attempts
(Venus) to reform others (Pluto) can lead to resentment. Additional problems
with the control of sexual urges are indicated, and may be compounded by
realizations of sexual incompatibilities. Avoid criminal elements and secret
activities, and place extra protection on valuable property. Past emotional
attachments may be shattered at this time. While this may not seem beneficial
at the time, Pluto enforces its lessons by removing excess baggage which is
not required in a particular area of your life in order to prepare for a
fresh rebirth in that area. Thus while this aspect may be rough, it provides
exceptional opportunities for forceful internal work on reforming our own
emotional attachments.
---------------------
Moon's Second Quarter : Wednesday 23 January - Wednesday 30 January
---------------------
<< Wednesday 23 January >>
Exciting conversations which may be energized by a slip of the tongue or two
are highlighted today as Mercury conjuncts Uranus at 11Capricorn. Listen to
inspirational new twists on some old out-dated concepts, especially at work
or in regard to practical concerns and goals.
<< Saturday 26 January >>
Our practical thoughts may be more than a bit confused today as Mercury
conjuncts Neptune at 15Capricorn. However, penetrating insights may also
arise, but Neptune can be deceiving so don't believe everything you hear.
<< Monday 28 January >>
Venus transits from Aquarius to Pisces today for a stay until 22February.
Venus in Pisces is extremely sensitive, and demonstrates extraordinary
emotional sympathy and understanding, kindness towards those in need, and
appreciation of beauty. Due to the influence of Neptune, the ruler of Pisces,
we can understand others on a deeply spiritual and compassionate level.
This transit is associated with secret romances and behind-the-scenes activity.
We are attracted to places of retreat and romantic privacy.
We should beware of dramatic overspending on purely ego-gratifying pursuits
today as the Sun at 9Aquarius opposes Jupiter at 9Leo. The effects of this
opposition are hard to resist (so maybe you can afford to pamper yourself just
a little bit ;-}) but if unchecked, this energy can result in a wasted day of
extravagance and exaggeration. If we don't overdo it then it should be fun!
--------------------
Moon's Third Quarter : Wednesday 30 January - Wednesday 6 February
--------------------
<< Wednesday 30 January >>
The full moon energy will be strongly accentuated and be influential for
several months since it coincides with a lunar eclipse with the Moon at 10Leo
opposed to the Sun at 10Aquarius. This full moon in fixed signs may indicate
extreme stubborness, with emotional reactions to idealistic issues expressed
with arrogance and fanaticism. However, wise use of these energies can
inspire confidence and idealistic vision.
We also share the possibility for constructive reformative ideas and
communications today as Mercury at 20Capricorn sextiles Pluto at 20Scorpio.
We may become preoccupied with deep or profound thoughts concerning
regeneration. As with all sextile aspects, some initiating effort on our
part may be required to activate these energies.
<< Thursday 31 January >>
We may be prone to either sensitive (Venus) or sharp (Mars) overreactions
today as Venus at 03Pisces squares Mars at 03Gemini. We may oscillate
irregularly between mental aggression and conciliatory self-pity, and may
be prone to get involved in fights or, more aptly, spats. Mellow out ...
<< Tuesday 5 February >>
On this day, those in authority may issue orders in especially cold and
harsh terms as Mercury conjuncts Saturn at 29Capricorn, and as a result of
this harshness the abused may become a dangerous enemy. This aspect will
especially impact those involved with communication or transport services,
or with issues relating to restrictions on communications. Since this aspect
occurs so close the Capricorn/Aquarius cusp, we may find people erupting in
a final burst of pent-up Capricorn energies prior to the transition of both
Mercury and Saturn into Aquarius.
This evening Mercury transits from Capricorn to Aquarius for a stay until
23February, paving the way for Saturn to follow, and finally displacing the
Capricorn dominance of prevailing influences. Mercury entering Aquarius
indicates that our mental faculties will surface from the Capricorn grind,
with idealistic Aquarian (Uranian) ideas emphasizing humanitarian and group
goals. Our communications will be more conducive to the establishment of
friendships, yet in a somewhat detached way.
---------------------
Moon's Fourth Quarter : Wednesday 6 February - Thrusday 14 February
---------------------
<< Wednesday 6 February >>
Today marks the major transition of Saturn from Capricorn to Aquarius, where
Saturn will remain until 21May 1993. These 2� year Saturn-sign periods can
color the very foundations upon which we view the world. Leaving Capricorn
over-ambitions, strictness, delays, and conservatism behind can help to lead
us toward more expansive personal goals.
With Saturn in Aquarius our mental concentrative abilities tend more toward
a well-organized, impersonal, idealistic, and scientific framework. Concern
for impartial truth may become paramount, and some of us may be able to set
aside the ego allowing us to see all issues, social or scientific, in the
light of impartial universal law. Mental ambition, original scientific
discoveries, and the new application of scientific knowledge will blossom.
Our ability to visualize form and structure (especially geometric forms)
will be enhanced, along with mathematical abilities. Saturn in Aquarius
also imparts 11th house connotations of responsibilities related to groups,
organizations, institutions, and friendships. With Uranus and Neptune
chugging slowly through Capricorn toward Aquarius now, this Saturn transition
may be the first true harbinger for the coming Age of Aquarius.
<< Thursday 7 February >>
Unexpected unusual and exciting opportunities may be waiting around the
corner for us today as Venus at 12Pisces sextiles Uranus at 12Capricorn.
We may have unique original ideas in creating art, music, or money. While
disruptions or unexpected events may occur with our love lives or friendships,
these events may encourage us to extend ourselves into broader and freer
fields of expression. Since we will crave a fun-loving social life, figure out
what brings fun and excitement into your life, and go out and do it today ;-}.
<< Saturday 9 February >>
Bad feelings are apt to flare up in an open encounter today as the Sun at
20Aquarius squares Pluto at 20Scorpio. For this aspect the Sun can represent
powerful authority figures and Pluto can indicate the emotional eruption of
hidden grudges. This is a good day to keep our mouths shut so we don't
close any doors behind ourselves.
Our mind and communication faculties can be lightning quick today as Mercury
at 06Aquarius trines Mars at 06Gemini. Our highly active mind should be able
to get points across easily and quickly. Agressive communications may ensue,
but disagreements are likely to be resolved smoothly.
<< Sunday 10 February >>
We are apt to spend too much money on frivolous purchases or to overlook
important details today as Mercury at 07Aquarius opposes Jupiter at 07Leo.
We enjoy optimistic feelings, but we should be careful not to become too
cocky by relying only on our luck or we may be disappointed.
Our creative and romantic imagination is aroused as Venus at 15Pisces
sextiles Neptune at 15Capricorn. Our appreciation of beauty and our
sensitivity to the feelings of others are enhanced.
<< Monday 11 February >>
We should try to expand our abilities to satisfy our desires today as Mars
at 07Gemini sextiles Jupiter at 07Leo. We may find that luck is with us if
we expend the effort to try. This aspect is excellent for positive and
optimistic action on new projects.
<< Thursday 14 February >>
We may become overwhelmed with intense emotions as Venus at 20Pisces trines
Pluto at 20Scorpio. This aspect imparts a capability for the highest form of
love, and is accompanied by strong sexual drives. The power of love can have
a transforming effect on others. The placement of these planets in water
signs favors the more sensitive and romantically steamy encounters.
The next new Moon occurs in Aquarius on February 14th. Until then ... let's
hope that the Middle East conflict can sidestep a few of the upcoming sticky
aspects, and hold out until the more mental and communicative air sign
influences have an opportunity to resolve the situation peacefully.
In hope for peace ...

==========================
The new moon on 14February in Aquarius (fixed air) provides us with
opportunities to re-establish our involvement with the creative goals of
groups and organizations, with friends, and with humanitarian interests.
Aquarius is ruled by Uranus (erratic change) and relates to the 11th house
concerns of organizations, personal goals and objectives, science, and a
detached mental outlook. As a fixed sign, Aquarian energies are stable;
and as an air sign the energy is expressed through ideas rather than through
actions (fire), emotions (water), or things (earth).
Using Aquarian influences individuals can enjoy more positive self-expression
through scientific, humanitarian, or occult groups. People also gain a more
universal perspective on life. The way to maximize growth during this new
moon cycle is to condense ideas and thoughts into viable plans for the future
which are designed for the benefit of all rather than just for ourselves.
--------------------
Moon's First Quarter : Thursday 14 February - Thursday 21 February
--------------------
<< Thursday 14 February >>
We may experience intense emotions today as Venus at 20Pisces trines Pluto
at 20Scorpio. We can be capable of the highest form of love, yet also retain
strong sexual drives. The power of love can have a transforming effect on
others. The placement of these planets in water signs favors more sensitive
and romantically steamy encounters .. so have a very happy Valentine's Day!!
<< Monday 18 February >>
Our manner of communicating to ourselves and others may undergo challenges
today as Mercury at 20Aquarius squares Pluto at 20Scorpio. These challenges
may be severe enough to divert us to a new way of thinking about ourselves
and of communicating to others. Powerful and forceful communications may
be expressed, and with both planets in fixed signs neither side is likely
to budge. Our best bet is to accept any criticism from others with a calm
and listening ear, and then use the feedback to modify our attitudes and
behaviors. While this sounds good, it may not be so easy to accomplish today.
Tonight the Sun enters Pisces for a stay until 20March. The Pisces influence
(ruled by Neptune) will bring a more sensitive and emotional attitude compared
to the mental expressions of Aquarius. People may become more sensitive,
creative, and romantic, and will strive for insights on deeper emotional
levels. The following chart highlights this sun-sign transition.
Aquarius Pisces
--------- --------
Duality Masculine Feminine
Element Air Water
Quality Fixed Mutable
Planet Uranus Neptune
Keyword 'I Know' 'I Believe'
Polarity Leo Virgo
Body Parts Shins, Ankles Feet
Animals Large Birds Fish
---------------------
Moon's Second Quarter : Thursday 21 February - Thrusday 28 February
---------------------
<< Thursday 21 February >>
Pluto at 20Scorpio turns retrograde today until 28July. For a few days while
Pluto is essentially stationary but about to turn retrograde it can bring out
power struggles involving matters of business finances, debts, loans, and
other major changes which are often irreversible. Don't cling to things which
are falling by the wayside, and try not to react to the inevitable destruction
of some things by making decisions which damage other options which could
otherwise remain available to you. If it doesn't fit in your life don't blow
it up ... just blow it out of your life.
<< Friday 22 February >>
The activity level in our relationships will increase markedly as Venus
enters Aries for a stay until 18March. During this transit we become more
impulsive and aggressive in our emotional expressions. Affections can also
become impulsive and unstable. The opposite/complementary energies of Libra
can be invaluable for providing balance and harmony in relationships during
this period of rapid-fire emotional activity.
<< Saturday 23 February >>
We may be able to bring a new sense of structure and order to broken
relationships as Venus at 02Aries sextiles Saturn at 02Aquarius. This is
an excellent time to sit down and arrive at a conscious understanding of what
each person expects from the other in a relationship. Venus sextile Saturn
favors tasks requiring thoroughness and attention to detail.
Today Mercury begins a rapid transit through Pisces until it enters Aries on
11March. When Mercury is in Pisces (ruled by Neptune) we can become more in
touch with the hidden sides of our personalities and our unconscious drives,
yet we are more likely to keep such insights to ourselves. We are likely to
have increased concern with spiritual development, and may feel like escaping
into reclusion to sort out our ideas. Keeping secrets from others will only
undermine their confidence in us once the hidden secrets are revealed.
<< Tuesday 26 February >>
We may become romantically inclined today as Venus at 05Aries trines Jupiter
at 05Leo .. one of the most positive astrological aspects. Venus trine
Jupiter is also perfect for a bit of redecorating around the home. Artistic
endeavors involving music ar art are likely to give you pleasure and turn out
well due to the great creative potential. This is a time when we may finally
receive deserved rewards which were previously earned, and when we are likely
to demonstrate more benevolence toward others.
--------------------
Moon's Third Quarter : Thursday 28 February - Friday 8 March
--------------------
<< Thursday 28 February >>
The full moon is exact today with the Moon at 09Virgo opposite the Sun at
09Pisces. This could be a rather emotional full moon, yet since it occurs
in mutable signs we should be able to retain enough flexibility to work out
compromises in any confrontations. Try not to be too nit-picky or critical
(Virgo) or you could stimulate oversensitivity (Pisces) in others who may
take it personally and become offended.
<< Friday 1 March >>
We can enjoy more effective self-expression today as the Sun conjuncts
Mercury at 11Pisces. We will gain abundant mental energy which allows us to
pay close attention to details. A short trip may also be enjoyable now.
<< Saturday 2 March >>
Our mind may be racing today as Mercury at 13Pisces sextiles Uranus at
13Capricorn. This aspect stimulates quick intuitive and inventive thinking,
and enhances original dramatic expression. Inventions or discoveries are
favored in electronics, science or engineering. Try some brainstorming of
innovative new career or work ideas.
<< Sunday 3 March >>
Building upon yesterday's energies, the Sun at 13Pisces also sextiles Uranus
at 13Capricorn today. This continues to highlight practical new discoveries
and useful new inventions, likely to be work-related. The Sun-Uranus sextile
may bring some mild relief from recent tensions, and encourage the redirection
of our energies into new areas.
<< Monday 4 March >>
Touchy challenges in communications, and small disagreements over practical
ideas may erupt into arguments as Mercury at 15Pisces squares Mars at
15Gemini. Light and talkative Mars in Gemini can pose some conflicts for
the sensitive and emotional expressions of Mercury in Pisces.
Our perceptions will be keen as Mercury at 16Pisces sextiles Neptune at
16Capricorn. This aspect stimulates a fertile imagination, and we may become
more than a bit dreamy. Creative writing is especially favored.
We may seek excitement in love relationships, even to the point of provoking
fights today, as Venus at 13Aries squares Uranus at 13Capricorn. Patience is
demanded, yet Venus in Aries must struggle to be patient with anything. Don't
flirt too much today or you may provoke a major confrontation with someone you
love. Try to keep a lid on impulsive spending since the excitement of buying
will pass long before the bills are paid ;-}.
<< Wednesday 6 March >>
Our ideas may become intense today as Mercury at 20Pisces trines Pluto at
20Scorpio. The Piscean influences (12th house) can accentuate the deeply
profound spiritual and regenerative thinking associated with this aspect.
Sub-conscious thoughts may rise into conscious awareness. Probe your
spiritual underpinnings today.
<< Thursday 7 March >>
The Sun at 16Pisces is close on the heels of Mercury, and now also sextiles
Neptune at 16Capricorn. This aspect stimulates intuitive and creative
faculties, and imparts an appreciation of art and beauty. We gain insights
into the workings of the sub-conscious mind which provide valuable material
for productive spiritual development. Romance tends toward the exotic now,
so use your imagination... ;-}
Avoid indulgences and self-pity today as Venus at 16Aries squares Neptune at
16Capricorn. Beware of being swept into depression and emotional confusion.
Watch the road carefully, don't daydream while driving.
Events may happen quickly and catch us off guard today as the Sun at 16Pisces
squares Mars at 16Gemini. Since the aspect occurs in fixed signs, stubbornness
may contribute to impasses which lead to anger. Beware of accidents and pay
close attention while driving ... since this is the second potentially
accident-prone aspect today these warnings should be carefully heeded.
Obstacles to self-expression can generate frustration and anger, which could
be compounded by a tendency to hold grudges. Let your anger go. If you can
regulate this aggression, you can enjoy invigorating energy and willpower.
We can easily express our feelings to others today as Venus at 16Aries
sextiles Mars at 16Gemini. Hopefully the Aries anger can be curbed to allow
a pleasant and potentially romantic experience for us.
---------------------
Moon's Fourth Quarter : Friday 8 March - Saturday 16 March
---------------------
<< Monday 11 March >>
We have an opportunity to make progressive changes through increased will-
power and resourcefulness today as the Sun at 20Pisces trines Pluto at
20Scorpio. Clairvoyance is stimulated, and efforts at spiritual, mental
or physical self-improvement are favored. We may assume a professional
leadership role, and may benefit through insurance, inheritance, or taxes.
Mercury enters Aries today for a quite long stay until 16May. It will turn
retrograde and then direct again while remaining in Aries. When Mercury
transits through Aries we are likely to react with quick and aggressive mental
responses. There is an abundance of mental energy during this time, but we
are more likely to act first and think later. This is a perfect time to start
a resolution to "Count to Ten before Flaming", but it will be a very difficult
period to hold to it.
<< Wednesday 12 March >>
Our capacity for organization is enhanced as Mercury at 04Aries sextiles
Saturn at 04Aquarius. This aspect encourages us to leave nothing to chance.
Carefully recording your dreams today may yield additional insights.
Our mental outlook is looking up today with optimistic viewpoints as Mercury
at 04Aries trines Jupiter at 04Leo. This aspect may be accompanied by job
opportunities for interesting and rewarding work, or promotions. At this
time communications are smooth and philosophically minded. We demonstrate a
good balance between attention to detail versus grasp of the comprehensive
view. Health may improve through relaxation or excercise. This aspect is
favorable for study, writing, teaching, interacting with the communications
media, or travel related to philosophy, religion, or higher education.
<< Thursday 14 March >>
We may experience vacillation and doubt of our goals and ambitions as Jupiter
at 04Leo opposes Saturn at 04Aquarius. This is a rather evenly matched
face-off between expansive and restrictive influences. Luck may seem to be
on your side, but it may end up being delayed or squashed. Try to keep your
hopes up, and do everything you can to help Jupiter win the face-off ;-}
This is the second of three oppositions between these hefty planets in their
current cycle .. this time with Jupiter in retrograde motion. The first
opposition occurred in July90, so events now may have been initiated then,
and may reach conclusion on the third opposition in May91, just as Saturn
turns retrograde.
The next new Moon occurs in Pisces on March 16th. Until then ...
be innovative and decisive while holding wider humanitarian goals as the
Aquarian influences predominate; then redirect your efforts toward nurturing
your inner emotional underbelly and exploring the depths of your psyche as
Piscean influences take over.

Astrology Watch Highlights
==========================
The new moon on 16March in Pisces (mutable water) provides us with
opportunities to reestablish a close connection with our deepest and most
profound feelings. Pisces is ruled by Neptune (sublime delusion) and relates
to 12th house concerns of unconscious emotions, past experiences, intuitive
thoughts, behind the scenes actions, incarceration, and institutions.
As a mutable sign, Piscean energies are flexible; and as a water sign the
energy is expressed through emotions rather than through actions (fire),
things (earth), or thoughts (air). Using Piscean influences, we can enjoy
art, music, poetry and any project that requires sensitivity and creative,
imaginative thought. To maximize growth during this new moon cycle allow
your psychic and intuitive perceptions to manifest, share compassionate
feelings for others, help behind the scenes with institutions or social
organizations, and start your planting and transplanting now.
We begin this moon cycle close on the heels of the major Jupiter-Saturn
opposition which occured just before the new moon. The effects of this
aspect may be significant in our lives, and can persist for some time.
We need to balance our expansive and constrictive tendencies trying not
to go overboard on either. Jupiter in Leo can be extraordinarily generous
and philosophically open while Saturn in Aquarius can be emotionally distant
and rigidly idealistic. The challenge is to capitalize on the most
positive expressions of both tendencies in a complementary way. This is
the second opposition in the current Jupiter-Saturn cycle, with Jupiter
now retrograde. Events related to this aspect are likely to culminate on
the third and final opposition in May.
--------------------
Moon's First Quarter : Saturday 16 March - Saturday 23 March
--------------------
<< Monday 18 March >>
Venus enters its own sign Taurus this afternoon for a stay until 12April.
This transit is a pleasant one, and the fixed sign influences can lend
stability to our love relationships. Artistry and love are viewed in a more
possesive and security-minded way, with a more practical and serious approach.
Practice, study, and earthy sensuality are favored.
Our minds may be stimulated with exciting new ideas as Mercury at 13Aries
squares Uranus at 13Capricorn. We may become bored or nervous, or have
difficulty concentrating on daily tasks. Established plans may not work out
as intended, so try to remain flexible.
<< Wednesday 20 March >>
Our practical thinking may become deluded as Mercury at 16Aries squares
Neptune at 16Capricorn. We may have difficulty arriving at any definitive
conclusions, yet this aspect can be good for more creative thinking.
The Sun enters Aries (for a stay until 20April) marking the Vernal Equinox
and the beginning of Spring! The Aries dynamism is reflected as the
initiation of new life: flowers budding, animals mating, and people doing
all those romantic things they are known for. Keep in mind that Aries is
a Cardinal (active) Fire sign, and try to keep your cool since there may
be some people acting more inflammatory than usual.
This is actually one of the most significant Sun-sign transitions since it
signifies the culmination of one natural astrological cycle (Pisces .. natural
12th house) and the initiation of a new cycle (Aries .. natural 1st house).
This Sun-sign transition is highlighted in the following table:
Pisces Aries
---------- ----------
Duality Feminine Masculine
Element Water Fire
Quality Mutable Cardinal
Keyword 'I Believe' 'I Am'
Polarity Virgo Libra
Body Parts Feet Head
Animals Fish Ram
<< Thursday 21 March >>
We needn't expect any serious problems as Venus at 04Taurus squares Jupiter
at 04Leo, yet we may experience personal let-downs of an emotional nature.
This aspect may bring out cruder mannerisms lacking in social grace, and
we may procrastinate and waste time on unproductive pursuits.
<< Friday 22 March >>
We may be able to bring a new sense of structure and order to broken
relationships as Venus at 04Taurus squares Saturn at 04Aquarius. This can
indicate an excellent time to sit down and arrive at a conscious understanding
of what each person expects from the other in a relationship. We may feel
a burden of responsibility which requires significant effort on our part.
---------------------
Moon's Second Quarter : Saturday 23 March - Saturday 30 March
---------------------
<< Sunday 24 March >>
This should be an optimistic and happy day or two as the Sun at 03Aries
trines Jupiter retrograde at 03Leo. With both in fire signs our activity
level and extravagant fun-loving party attitude may get a much-appreciated
boost. With Jupiter currently retrograde we may end up a bit over-extended,
but we should still take this aspect and run with it! Throw a party, or at
least attend one.
<< Monday 25 March >>
We enjoy an orderly state of mind and self-discipline which is excellent
for constructive work as the Sun at 04Aries sextiles Saturn at 04Aquarius.
This aspect confers constructive ambition, good organization, and a mature
attitude. This is a very favorable time for important communications with
those in power. We are likely to make steady progress toward goals, and
enjoy an enhanced sense of dignity. Some initiative and patience may be
required in order to reap the benefits of this aspect.
<< Friday 29 March >>
Exciting new love interests may arise today as Venus at 13Taurus trines
Uranus at 13Capricorn. Science or art may figure in the excitement.
--------------------
Moon's Third Quarter : Saturday 30 March - Sunday 7 April
--------------------
<< Saturday 30 March >>
The full moon is exact very early this morning with the Moon at 09Libra
opposed to the Sun at 09Aries. Our challenge is to redirect energetic
impulses and high nervous energy towards more productive efforts using
a balanced reasoning process. Look before you leap today.
Jupiter at 03Leo returns to direct motion ushering in a more expansive
and optimistic phase in the development of our philosophies and attitudes.
This aspect will take a week or so to get going, but will be conducive to
a great Leo partying atmosphere. We are likely to feel more playful and
more optimistic about our leadership potential.
<< Monday 1 April >>
Creative expression inspired by dreams is favored today as Venus at
17Taurus trines Neptune at 17Capricorn. Warm compassion and highly
idealistic love can combine to create a misty romantic atmosphere.
<< Tuesday 2 April >>
Our energies are likely to be directed more towards our home and family
as Mars enters Cancer for a stay until 26May. Mars is not so energetic
in Cancer, however, and we should try to avoid actions which stem from
emotional over-sensitivity. Comfort may become a primary goal now, so
allow time to relax, but try to avoid becoming a couch potato ;-}
<< Wednesday 3 April >>
We should prepare for and beware of sudden upsets and disruptive situations
as the Sun at 14Aries squares Uranus at 14Capricorn. We desire to break
down our everyday routines today, yet we may end up taking foolhardy risks
to do so. Be extra careful today since we tend to be more accident prone.
Learn to go with the flow of disruptions, and avoid arguing or you could
make things worse.
<< Thursday 4 April >>
The challenge today is to transform romantic inspirations into a more
stable form as Venus at 20Taurus opposes Pluto at 20Scorpio. This opposition
can lead to excessive jealousy, controlling of others, or allowing others to
control you. The stubbornness inherent in this opposition in fixed signs
suggests wisdom in the avoidance of head-to-head conflict today.
Today we also enter an internal and disruptive mental period as Mercury at
29Aries turns retrograde until 28April. When Mercury turns retrograde our
communication faculties slow down, we become reflective, and communications
in general falter. This does not have to be such a negative period so long
as you don't try to push..push..push everything to completion. Try to allow
extra time for unexpected delays, and be content to let things happen at
their own pace. You definitely don't want a tight schedule when Mercury is
retrograde, so try to accomplish as much as possible before this period.
<< Saturday 6 April >>
Our energies may dissipate quickly today as the Sun at 17Aries squares
Neptune at 17Capricorn. Our body may need to take the day off today.
Depletion of our physical reserves may simply be a symptom of more general
feelings of inadequacy and lack of confidence.
---------------------
Moon's Fourth Quarter : Sunday 7 April - Sunday 14 April
---------------------
<< Friday 12 April >>
We will feel a shift in our values and relationships as Venus enters Gemini
for a stay until 8May. During this transit we will tend to place more
value on ideas and intellectual pursuits. We are interested in establishing
friendships, but will stay somewhat on the surface instead of getting deeply
involved. Conversation can be witty, and generally interpersonal relations
are lighter and more enjoyable. Our values are changeable, and we are
flexible enough to change our viewpoints. This applies to our love life too
as Venus in Gemini can be associated with multiple or fickle love interests.
The next new Moon occurs in Aries on April 14th. Until then ... stabilize
your affections as Venus enters Taurus, get revved up with the Sun in Aries
to complete tasks before Mercury turns retrograde, and gradually prepare
yourself to enter a powerful new phase of personal expansion and growth as
Jovial Jupiter dances into the ring for the third and decisive round in its
heavyweight bout with Sergeant Saturn.

Astrology Watch Highlights
==========================
The new moon on 14April in Aries (cardinal fire) provides us with an
opportunity to make a fresh start. Aries is the astrological new year,
and thus a time for new beginnings. Aries is ruled by Mars (desire and
aggression) and relates to 1st house concerns of ego, independence, new
ventures, self-awareness and discovery.
As a cardinal sign, Aries energies are dynamic; and as a fire sign, energy
is expressed through actions rather than through emotions (water), things
(earth), or thoughts (air). Using Aries influences, individuals can enjoy
competitive sports, new projects, and any activity that requires direct
assertiveness. We should guard against over-impulsiveness or being too
headstrong. To maximize growth during this new moon cycle initiate changes
now. This is a new chance for making New Year's resolutions, so start fresh,
develop new ideas, explore new options, and try new things.
--------------------
Moon's First Quarter : Sunday 14 April - Sunday 21 April
--------------------
<< Sunday 14 April >>
We may enjoy more effective self-expression today as the Sun conjuncts
Mercury at 24Aries. The effects of this aspect will be accentuated since
it coincides almost exactly with the New Moon position. We can gain abundant
mental energy which allows us to pay close attention to details, however with
Mercury retrograde our thoughts will be more reflective and instrospective.
A short trip may also be enjoyable, even though unforeseen delays are likely.
<< Tuesday 16 April >>
We can enjoy benevolent and peaceful feelings today as Venus at 04Gemini
sextiles Jupiter at 04Leo. This aspect imparts creative talent and generous
expression of affection. This may also be a good day to initiate financial
enterprises or real-estate transactions (although don't "sign zee papers"
until Mercury turns direct on 28April).
<< Thursday 18 April >>
We can gain inner strength with personal relationships today as Venus at
06Gemini trines Saturn at 06Aquarius. Friendships and love relationships
can gain mental stability on a more secure and honest communicative
foundation. Also, Gemini wit can lighten up the harmonious yet somewhat
serious discussions.
Uranus turns retrograde today at 14Capricorn until 19September. During
this period our organization and self-discipline, though well-meaning, may
falter. There is a need to accept practical responsibilities. If they
are not dealt with effectively then sudden events may disrupt our life which
require change and adaptability.
Neptune at 17Capricorn also turns retrograde today until 26September. This
transit accentuates our internal conflicts between dreams versus practicality.
We need to use and cultivate our imagination even in opposition to practical
issues, and we need to get our affairs in order. Many things which have been
kept concealed for some time may be exposed as Neptune turns retrograde.
<< Saturday 20 April >>
The Sun enters Taurus (fixed, earth) today for a stay until 21May, ushering
in the fixed portion of the Spring season. Plant or transplant your gardens
now to encourage steady growth, and sow new seeds for hardy development.
Aries has been rushing out in new directions, now Taurus sets our feet back
firmly on the ground. The following chart highlights this sun-sign transition.
Aries Taurus
---------- ----------
Duality Masculine Feminine
Element Fire Earth
Quality Cardinal Fixed
Keyword 'I Am' 'I Have'
Polarity Libra Scorpio
Body Parts Head Neck and Throat
Animals Ram Bull
---------------------
Moon's Second Quarter : Sunday 21 April - Sunday 28 April
---------------------
<< Thursday 25 April >>
Mild personal problems arising from hypocrisy, extravagance, and inflated
self-importance are indicated today as the Sun at 05Taurus squares Jupiter
at 05Leo. While the effects of this square are not severe, it can lead
to overexpansion, foolish optimism, and waste. We may feel a bit on the
slow side today, and just taking it easy may be the theme for today. We have
a tendency to adhere to dogmatic views which may cause problems in romantic,
social, or business situations. Gambling is unwise at this time, and charity
may be tinged with a desire for personal recognition and praise. The
'antidote' for most of these negative expressions is to maintain a more
objective and philosophical attitude.
<< Saturday 27 April >>
Our egos may be impeded or our energies may be worn down today as the Sun
at 06Taurus squares Saturn at 06Aquarius. Any issues we force are likely to
result in equal force opposition ... or possibly immovable opposition since
the square is in fixed signs. Try to remain low-key to avoid the negative
expressions of this aspect.
Our struggle between the goals of home life (Cancer) and career ambitions
(Capricorn) is accentuated today by two of the most aggressive and excitable
planetary influences as Mars at 14Cancer opposes Uranus at 14Capricorn.
Arguments may erupt on this day at home or at work, with males likely to be
the most upset. Love relationships may prove to be unreliable or unfaithful.
There is a lot of energy inherent in this cardinal sign aspect, but it will
take great patience and understanding to go with the flow of changes which
it suggests.
<< Sunday 28 April >>
Today Mercury at 18Aries sextiles Venus at 18Gemini just moments before
Mercury officially returns to direct motion. This is a mild aspect between
inner planets and has a relatively brief effect of making us feel pretty good.
It can allow us to communicate effectively about our likes and dislikes, and
our humanitarian interests. With Mercury at a standstill in Aries there may
be a bit of anger expressed, so keep your fire extinguisher handy ;-}. As
Mercury turns direct, bolster your confidence and begin communicating more
freely and succinctly, since people will tend to understand you more quickly.
--------------------
Moon's Third Quarter : Sunday 28 April - Monday 6 May
--------------------
<< Friday 3 May >>
Dramatic diffusion of our emotional energy may beset us today as Mars at
17Cancer opposes Neptune at 17Capricorn. This could manifest as depression,
anger, apathy, or drug abuse. Psychic channels will be overloaded, so our
discrimination of particular psychic insights may become clouded. The full
moon in Scorpio/Taurus will further energize and intensify the deepest of our
emotions, so it may be wise to keep any nasty feelings to ourselves today.
<< Saturday 4 May >>
Intuitive, original, and eccentric actions are encouraged today as the Sun
at 14Taurus trines Uranus at 14Capricorn. We are likely to express a strong
desire for independence. Practical science and electronics are favored.
---------------------
Moon's Fourth Quarter : Monday 6 May - Tuesday 14 May
---------------------
<< Tuesday 7 May >>
We can mobilize powerful energy for rebuilding today as Mars at 19Cancer
trines Pluto at 19Scorpio. With both planets in water signs and Pluto in
Scorpio, intense emotional experiences or a profound sexual union may ensue.
Psychic energy is also heightened today as the Sun at 17Taurus trines Neptune
at 17Capricorn. There is great potential for creating tangible results using
our imagination. Insights may be practical, yet daydreaming is likely. The
combination of today's two aspects can create an extremely powerful climate
for positive action and long-term change. Use the energy to your advantage!
<< Wednesday 8 May >>
Emotional issues will come to the fore as Venus enters Cancer for a stay
until 5June. During this transit higher value is placed on relationships,
emotions, feminine issues, concerns with mother, caring, and nurturing.
We are apt to feel more affectionate, and to require affection more often.
We may become possessive or clinging in love relationships and friendships
(those crab's claws can grab and hold for a long time ;-}). We will gain
enjoyment from buying things which make our home more cozy and comfortable.
<< Thursday 9 May >>
Remain flexible today as the Sun at 19Taurus opposes Pluto at 19Scorpio.
This aspect may indicate trouble with friends, lovers or groups due to
stubborness and not allowing others to have their say. Secrets may come
out due to the ego and honesty of the Sun opposing the secrecy and
keep-everything-under-wraps attitude of Pluto in Scorpio. If you make the
mistake of making someone really angry today (by revealing their secrets!?!),
then they are likely to remember it for a very long time.
<< Monday 13 May >>
Get off of your butt and stretch your muscles today as the Sun at 22Taurus
sextiles Mars at 22Cancer. This sextile is favorable for almost any action-
oriented activity. With the Sun in Taurus these activities could be practical
or decorative, and with Mars in Cancer our best bet might be to work around
our home in our gardens or make other home renovations. Of course a good
game of golf or tennis might fit the bill too ;-} We are likely to be in a
self-assertive mood, and physical activity can strengthen our constitution.
The next new moon occurs in Taurus on 14May. Until then ... prepare yourself
to allow full expression of some powerful and influential changes which may
be coming your way. Once Mercury turns direct then the stage should be set,
and it will be time to chart your personal course toward attaining your most
far-reaching and challenging long-term goals ... so GO for it!

| Todd,
I appreciate your astro watch each month, and find it helpful in
seeing general trends, and gaging social atmospheric conditions
;-). I'm a lil confused this month, though, you have the full
moon listed for May 3rd I think? The full moon was actually
April 28th. Should the general interpertation for May 3rd actually
be for April 28th? Is this just a Mertcury in retrograde effect
;-)?
thanks
terry
|
| 672.97 | Yeah.. Mercury retro.. that's the ticket :-) | AICAD::DOLLIVER | Watching my life go by ... | Mon Apr 29 1991 12:50 | 28 |
| You are absolutely right, terry. Somehow the full moon text slipped down
from April 28th to the next active day on May 3rd ... while it is listed
correctly in the calendar section. I have no idea what I was thinking,
or how it happened, but I will take you up on your offer to attribute it
to Mercury retrograde ;-}
So, the full moon did in fact occur yesterday (28Apr) at 4:59PM EDT with
the Sun at 08Taurus and the Moon at 08Scorpio. Thus the following full moon
text actually applies to yesterday's "atmospheric conditions" (not 03May).
"The full moon in Scorpio/Taurus will energize and intensify the
deepest of our emotions, so it may be wise to keep any nasty
feelings to ourselves today."
(Yup .. it works for me .. if only I could always follow my own advice ;-}).
Keep in mind that we are still in the midst of the post-full moon period
(until the Moon enters Sagittarius), so these energies are still quite active.
Happily, this is the last time I will be able to use the Mercury retrograde
excuse for a while, since it just turned direct at 18Aries yesterday morning
at 5:50AM EDT! It will take a couple of days to get going, but since this
recent Mercury retrograde period has seemed especially difficult for me, I
am anxiously looking forward to a period of smoother sailing over the next
couple of months. I hope it works out that way for you too!
Thanks for your watchful eye,
Todd

Astrology Watch Highlights
==========================
The new moon on 14May in Taurus (fixed earth) provides an opportunity to
initiate new projects on a firm and stable foundation. Since Taurus is
ruled by Venus, this could mean a new love relationship or new stability
within an existing relationship.
As a fixed sign, Taurus energies are stable; and as an earth sign energy is
expressed through tangible things rather than through emotions (water),
actions (fire), or thoughts (air). Using Taurean influences, individuals
can enjoy gardening, fixing up a house, practical domestic tasks, love
relationships, and issues relating to assets and possessions. We should
guard against becoming too closed-minded, too stubborn, or too materialistic.
To maximize growth during this new moon cycle we should till soil and sow
seeds in our physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual gardens, thus
initiating germination of earthy and practical beginnings which can yield
future hardy growth. The same applies for flower or vegetable gardens.
The biggest event occurring during this Moon cycle is the third and final
conjunction between Jupiter and Saturn on 16May. This aspect will continue
to influence us for a long time, so try to get off on the right foot.
--------------------
Moon's First Quarter : Tuesday 14 May - Monday 20 May
--------------------
<< Thursday 16 May >>
Mercury enters Taurus today for a stay until 04June. During this time our
thinking will be practical and deliberate. A danger of this Mercury placement
is mental lethargy, yet careful planning and patience are supported, and
real-estate transactions are favored. We are likely to engage in practical
down-to-earth communications, yet we may retain fixed mental attitudes. Our
attention turns towards what we value. We may experience a short period of
mental confusion as Mercury changes signs, however this effect is likely to
be overshadowed by the other major happenings today.
Tonight Saturn turns retrograde until 05October. This can cause inner doubts
regarding one's sense of worth, and we may have some difficulty expressing
ourselves in groups due to introversion. However, during this period of inner
reconsolidation we can create a new foundation for future personal growth.
At about the same time tonight, the third and final major opposition between
expansive Jupiter at 07Leo and constrictive Saturn at 07Aquarius occurs, which
dominates our astrological climate. We may experience vacillation and doubt
of our goals and ambitions during this evenly matched face-off. Luck may seem
to be on our side, but it may end up being delayed or squashed. Try to keep
your hopes up, and do everything you can to help Jupiter win the face-off ;-}
The first opposition occurred in July90 indicating that current events may
have been initiated then, the second occurred in March91 prompting us to
review our situation, and this third opposition in May91 represents the
culmination of these influences and may impact the course of our lives for
nearly 10 years until Jupiter conjoins Saturn to reinitiate a new cycle.
We need to balance our expansive and constrictive tendencies trying not
to go overboard on either. Jupiter in Leo can be extraordinarily generous
and philosophically open while Saturn in Aquarius can be emotionally distant
and rigidly idealistic. The challenge is to capitalize on the most
positive expressions of both tendencies in a complementary way. A potential
way to do this may be to work within groups which share idealistic Aquarian
goals and provide benevolent leadership to raise optimistic hopes which can
cut through mundane problems and elevate group goals to a spiritual level.
This period will likely require extra willpower to think positively (Jupiter),
to avoid self-induced depression (Saturn), and to work through problems and
delays within groups or organizations.
---------------------
Moon's Second Quarter : Monday 20 May - Tuesday 28 May
---------------------
<< Monday 20 May >>
Conflicts between our need for love versus our need for freedom are
highlighted today as Venus at 13Cancer opposes Uranus at 13Capricorn.
We may feel a need for intimacy and closeness, but also a fear of being
smothered. This aspect can be very confusing for love relationships, and
may lead to an abrupt ending of an existing relationship, or to an exciting
beginning of a new relationship (which is unfortunately not likely to last
long). The effects of this aspect may manifest as conflicts between home
life (Cancer) and career ambitions (Capricorn).
<< Tuesday 21 May >>
The Sun transitions from Taurus (fixed earth) to Gemini (mutable air) today
for a stay until 21June, ushering in the mutable or changable portion of the
Spring season. The following chart highlights this sun-sign transition.
Taurus Gemini
---------- ----------
Duality Feminine Masculine
Element Earth Air
Quality Fixed Mutable
Keyword 'I Have' 'I Think'
Polarity Scorpio Sagittarius
Body Parts Neck,Throat Hands,Arms,Lungs
Animals Cattle Bright birds, butterflies
The Sun in Gemini indicates a more mental and somewhat scattered energy which
is expressed through the communication of ideas, compared to the stable and
grounded energy associated with the Sun in Taurus. Gemini is known for
superficiality, but also for intellect, wit, charm, and twins.
Our mental ideas and thinking patterns may face obstructions which can lead
us into a depressive turn of mind today as Mercury at 07Taurus squares Saturn
at 07Aquarius. Travel arrangements may also face some snags, and we may
just feel generally down in the dumps.
<< Wednesday 22 May >>
We can bolster optimistic attitudes towards long-range goals today as Mercury
at 07Taurus squares Jupiter at 07Leo. This aspect can be favorable, and at
this time we may be able to grasp the whole picture and think in big, ideal,
abstract terms. We may be sloppy with details, however, and may be inclined
to overlook important details which conflict with larger plans.
<< Thursday 23 May >>
We are likely to be in a bit of a fog today with confusion and deception
over our relationships as Venus at 16Cancer opposes Neptune at 16Capricorn.
Try not to be too idealistic, or to become lost in daydreams or drugs.
Psychic faculties are heightened, but our impressions may be hazy or we may
fool ourselves by coloring our impressions with what we WANT to see. We may
thus be deceived by a friend or lover. We enjoy romance, but it may not be
real. We will probably know for sure tomorrow, so give it some time.
<< Saturday 25 May >>
Our emotional expressions will be intense and profound as Venus at 19Cancer
trines Pluto at 19Scorpio. Meetings with new people may feel pre-ordained,
and could result in intense and sexual relationships. New insights into the
workings behind the scenes of relationships should be carefully listened to.
<< Sunday 26 May >>
We are encouraged to put our concrete ideas into practice in new and exciting
ways today as Mercury at 13Taurus trines Uranus at 13Capricorn. New land or
real-estate dealings are favored. We gain an ability to adopt new and
inventive ways of thinking and to realign our thought patterns.
Today Mars enters Leo (fixed fire) for a stay until 15July. This is a hot
one, so get out your tanning lotion ;-}. During this transit we will gain
lots of energy and will become much more impulsive and enthusiastic compared
to the conservatism and emotional strain we are experiencing now with Mars in
Cancer. If we can discipline and harness our passion and energy, and avoid
the pitfalls of arrogance, then we can make dramatic leaps of progress, and
we can even have a great time doing it! This is an excellent time to throw
fun parties or to pursue any kind of playful or sporting activity that you
enjoy. Get out there, grab the Lion by the mane, and ... Charge!
--------------------
Moon's Third Quarter : Tuesday 28 May - Wednesday 5 June
--------------------
<< Tuesday 28 May >>
This is an excellent time for practical creativity and our imaginative powers
as Mercury at 16Taurus trines Neptune at 16Capricorn. We may achieve harmony
through creative pursuits, or we may just enjoy daydreaming today.
Gains may be achieved through hard and disciplined work today as the Sun at
06Gemini trines Saturn at 06Aquarius. This is a serious day for getting much
work accomplished and fulfilling obligations, so try to follow practical
actions based upon careful planning. With the Full Moon in Sagittarius
opposed to the Sun in Gemini we may feel like flitting about, however this
may also add further influences favoring completion of our current pursuits.
<< Wednesday 29 May >>
Keep an open mind to revolutionary ideas today as Mercury at 18Taurus
opposes Pluto at 18Scorpio. Upsetting events may occur, possibly during
travel, which force a reform of our regular thought structures, but we may
have needed a bit of adjustment. We can delve to the roots of problems,
but attempts to persuade others could result in conflicts.
<< Thursday 30 May >>
Our ego drives will get energized as the Sun at 07Gemini sextiles Jupiter
at 07Leo. With a bit of internal bolstering we can become brimming with
boisterous self-confidence and optimism. This aspect can also bring very
good luck, and things planned today should work out well. It is also a good
day for group participation activities or philosophical pursuits.
<< Monday 3 June >>
Today Mercury at 28Taurus sextiles Venus at 28Cancer. This mild aspect
between inner planets has a relatively brief effect of making us feel pretty
good. It can allow us to communicate effectively about likes and dislikes,
especially regarding our over-sensitivities and the decoration of our homes.
<< Tuesday 4 June >>
Mercury enters its own sign Gemini today for a stay until 19June. With
Mercury in Gemini our thinking is active and versatile yet scattered, and
we may be very humorous and witty. Our thoughts may be flighty, making
concentration on a single goal difficult. Manual and verbal dexterity is
enhanced. Mercury in talkative, quick-thinking Gemini is great for learning
new things or adapting to new ways of thinking.
---------------------
Moon's Fourth Quarter : Wednesday 5 June - Wednesday 12 June
---------------------
<< Wednesday 5 June >>
Venus enters Leo today for a stay until 11July. This transit confers loyalty
and generosity to lovers and friends, love of children, being in love with
love, and a passionate nature. We may become over-dramatic or egotistical,
may overspend on luxury items, and may become overly concerned with our own
personal beauty (can you say v-a-n-i-t-y? ;-}). However, people will be
generally friendly and out for a good time. This is a great party transit,
and with Mars also in Leo, people will be ready to party, so throw a decadent
party and invite everyone you know!!
<< Thursday 6 June >>
We may feel frustration concerning the pursuit of our ambitions, and our
aggressive energies may be restricted today as Mars at 06Leo opposes Saturn
at 06Aquarius. We may feel tired and run-down, so take good care of yourself.
<< Saturday 8 June >>
Practical and responsible thought patterns are enhanced today as Mercury at
06Gemini trines Saturn at 06Aquarius. Our powers of concentration and self-
control are increased, but overtaxing our brains could lead to depression.
Action-oriented communications and travel are favored today as Mercury at
08Gemini sextiles Mars at 08Leo. The desirous nature of Mars in Leo
combined with Gemini flirtatious communications may lead us to flirt much
too blatantly. This could result in defiant leaps into limited engagement
relationships without consideration of consequences. Leaping can be fun,
but be sure to check below the surface before you leap ;-}.
<< Monday 10 June >>
Our thinking is clear and sharp today, and our intellectual curiosity is
heightened as Mercury at 11Gemini sextiles Jupiter at 11Leo. We may be able
to more readily grasp a clear understanding of the overall patterns of life.
The next New Moon occurs in Gemini on 12June. Until then ... try to resolve
major leadership and group-related Jupiter-Saturn issues which may impact us
both at work and play by navigating your path carefully and considering plans
with the longest possible scope. If we can make the important decisions in a
way which satisfies us and allows us growth opportunities, then we can enjoy a
fun-loving Spring/Summer treat as both Mars and Venus enter Leo .. party on!!

Astrology Watch Highlights
==========================
The new moon on 12June in Gemini (mutable air) provides an opportunity to
develop objectivity and to engage in copious communications. Gemini is ruled
by Mercury which enhances our spoken, written, and acted expressions, and can
stimulate travel. Many will feel like talking, and a few may even listen ;-}.
As a mutable sign, Gemini energies fluctuate; and as an air sign energy is
expressed through ideas or communications (air) rather than emotions (water),
actions (fire), or things (earth). Using Gemini influences we can enjoy
objectivity, flexibility, versatility and wit. Guard against becoming too
nervous and edgy, or too talkative when there is little of substance to say.
To maximize growth during this new moon cycle we should stress honesty, and
should encourage ourselves and others to talk about feelings and attitudes.
At the start of this moon cycle Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto are all
retrograde. This indicates a continuation of a reflective internal period,
and is an excellent time to reevaluate our current progress and situations.
--------------------
Moon's First Quarter : Wednesday 12 June - Wednesday 19 June
--------------------
<< Wednesday 12 June >>
Our relationships may be fraught with struggles today as Venus at 06Leo
opposes Saturn at 06Aquarius. Our sense of humanitarian duty may be in
conflict with our desire to relate to others in a playful way, so try to
keep your responsibilities in perspective without letting them squelch
your fun-loving antics. Through relationships we may be forced to face
aspects of ourselves that we would rather not acknowledge, and we should
avoid becoming engulfed in self-pity.
<< Friday 14 June >>
We can tap into an abundance of optimism, self-confidence, and energy today
as Mars conjuncts Jupiter at 11Leo. We should guard against becoming so
headstrong that we can not accept NO for an answer. Keep any bad news to
yourself today, because other people don't want to hear it ;-}
<< Sunday 16 June >>
There is apt to be alot of active and witty communications today as the Sun
conjuncts Mercury at 26Gemini. Interactions may be superficial, but should
be fun, light, charming, and flirtatious. The influences are excellent for
starting new projects, especially if they pertain to mass communications or
involve short trips. We may also enjoy a touch of self-confident optimism.
<< Tuesday 18 June >>
Today, one of the most favorable aspects occurs in one of the most fun-loving
positions as Venus conjuncts Jupiter at 12Leo. Our outlook on relationships
may take a wild swing for the better. This aspect can confer optimism,
benevolence, leadership, playful dramatic expression, and interpersonal grace.
---------------------
Moon's Second Quarter : Wednesday 19 June - Wednesday 26 June
---------------------
<< Wednesday 19 June >>
We may find our communications miss the mark a bit (like a brief Mercury
retrograde period) as Mercury transits from Gemini to Cancer, where it will
stay until 04July. With Mercury in Cancer our thoughts will be strongly
affected by emotions. We are apt to have clouded communications which are
highly subjective, yet we can be very empathetic and nurturing.
<< Friday 21 June >>
The Sun transitions from Gemini to Cancer today, initiating the active
portion of the Summer season. This marks the the Summer Solstice, when the
Sun reaches its Northernmost apparent angle of declination, and shines for
the longest daylight period of the year (in the Northern Hemisphere). The
following chart highlights this sun-sign transition.
Gemini Cancer
---------- ----------
Duality Masculine Feminine
Element Air Water
Quality Mutable Cardinal
Planet Mercury Moon
Keyword 'I Think' 'I Feel'

The Sun in Cancer indicates an active emotional and often moody energy which
is expressed through feelings, as compared to the mental and scattered energy
associated with the Sun in Gemini. Cancer is known for sensitivity, concern
over home and family, nurturing, dependence, and martyrdom.
<< Sunday 23 June >>
The conjunction of the female (Venus) and male (Mars) influences at 16Leo
creates a very sensual and sexy energy flow today and for some time after.
Find your loved ones and cuddle up closely. Parties of any kind are favored
by this fun-loving Leo energy, and friendships can become generous and very
rewarding. This aspect realigns our desire nature (Mars) with our value
orientation (Venus). This is a great time for entertainment of any kind, so
go out and have fun ;-}. Interestingly, the last conjunction of these two
planets occurred about two years ago (Mars orbital period) at exactly the
same degree: 16Leo.
<< Monday 24 June >>
We may be mentally stimulated thinking about managing our home versus work
dichotomy as Mercury at 12Cancer opposes Uranus at 12Capricorn. This can be
an erratic mental period, yet do not oppose suggested changes. Attempt to
consider and adopt new ideas in the home or at work. We may wonder if we
are going a bit insane today, but don't worry ... everyone is ;-}
Relationships may be upset by fixed attitudes and stubborn behavior today
as Venus at 18Leo squares Pluto at 18Scorpio. Past secrets may surface.
Pride may have to be swallowed in order to maintain key relationships.
<< Tuesday 25 June >>
This is a challenging time for creatively transforming the world around us as
Mars at 18Leo squares Pluto at 18Scorpio. Power struggles and disagreements
may ensue. Energy levels are high and this aspect arouses ambition, but be
careful of arousing opposition in the people you confront, because it may be
fierce. Don't act ruthlessly or underhandedly toward others no matter how
angry you become. Avoid dangerous places and activities.
--------------------
Moon's Third Quarter : Wednesday 26 June - Thursday 4 July
--------------------
<< Wednesday 26 June >>
We may encounter disillusionment and hazy thinking as Mercury at 16Cancer
opposes Neptune at 16Capricorn. This can be great for creative endeavors
and imaginative work, but try not to daydream too much or your insights may
never see the light of our concensus reality ;-}.
The energy level may become very intense and emotional this evening as the
full moon becomes exact with the Sun at 05Cancer and the Moon at 05Capricorn.
This energy is accentuated since this full moon also constitutes a lunar
eclipse which can emphasize the completion or finality of ongoing situations.
Many people may have serious difficulty sleeping tonight, possibly due to
brooding over discouraging work situations. Emotional outbursts may be
expressed in hard-assed disciplinarian terms, which can easily offend other's
heightened sensitivites, so try if you can to lighten up on those around you.
<< Thursday 27 June >>
We may be struck by some highly penetrating and profound ideas as Mercury at
18Cancer trines Pluto at 18Scorpio. This is an excellent day for inventions
and discoveries. It also favors long range planning and insightful thoughts
of future reforms or changes.
---------------------
Moon's Fourth Quarter : Thursday 4 July - Thursday 11 July
---------------------
<< Thursday 4 July >>
We may have a few communications lapses as Mercury enters Leo for a stay
until 26July. During this Mercury transit we can develop a more creative
mental outlook and more dramatic expression of our ideas. Guard against a
tendency to be over-opinionated or arrogant.
Be careful today and keep a watch out for accidents as the Sun at 12Cancer
opposes Uranus at 12Capricorn. This aspect can bring restlessness and
surprising events. Business activities (Capricorn) may undergo radical
revisions. A conflict between home life (Cancer) and career ambitions
(Capricorn) could shock us into action.
<< Saturday 6 July >>
Some difficult communications and a depressing mental outlook could be in
store for us as Mercury at 05Leo opposes Saturn at 05Aquarius. Plans which
are set up now may not be stable or well-grounded. Bolster your hopes today!
<< Sunday 7 July >>
Confusion and uncertainty accompanied by a fear of self-assertion may
overwhelm us as the Sun at 15Cancer opposes Neptune at 15Capricorn. Avoid
playing the victim or martyr today, but instead reflect on your self. This
aspect can yield powerful insights and artistic initiative, but be sure to
check back with reality to verify that the insights are feasible to pursue.
We may heartily enjoy a lazy daydream today ;-}
<< Wednesday 10 July >>
We will find extra stamina and will-power today in our efforts to reform
ourselves or others as the Sun at 18Cancer trines Pluto at 18Scorpio.
Much positive restructuring energy is activated by this aspect, which may
also be expressed as intense or profound sexuality. This aspect can lead
to reforms of our use of power, but it may require some closely held yet
unnecessary aspects of ourselves to fall away.
<< Thursday 11 July >>
Venus enters Virgo today for a stay until 21August. During this transit we
can become very discriminating, especially in the analysis of love feelings
and of partner's shortfalls. Try not to over-analyze romance or to constrain
relationships to follow prescribed guidelines. Avoid becoming nit-picky.
The next new moon on 11July in Cancer initiates a new cycle emphasizing the
rightful place of of our home and family in our lives. This new moon also
coincides with a total solar eclipse which magnifies both the impact and the
longevity of the full moon effects.
Until then .. reevaluate your directions and enjoy your Gemini flirtations,
but stay honest with your true feelings to insure that the reality you create
doesn't substitute a charming yet superficial imitation for the real you ;-}

Astrology Watch Highlights
==========================
The new moon in Cancer occurs on 11July when the Sun, Moon and Earth are
lined up to create the most precise total solar eclipse to occur until well
into the 22nd century. This will strenuously energize the Cancer influences
to enhance any resolutions concerning home and family issues, and encourage
the fertility and germination of our ideas and goals. The precise point of
the eclipse (19Cancer) will remain energized for at least six months or up to
a year, and projects conceived now could come to magnificent fruition.
Cancer is ruled by the Moon and accentuates sensitive feelings, mother, home
and family. Cancer tends to have a soft emotional under-belly, so while
nurturing of others is enhanced, we should also nurture ourselves and our own
emotional roots during this Cancer Moon cycle. With the career struggles
still affecting us from Capricorn planets, this self-nurturing is even more
valuable to settle our over-sensitivities now.
As a cardinal sign, Cancer energies are in motion; and as a water sign the
energy is expressed through emotions (water) rather that through ideas (air),
actions (fire), or things (earth). Using Cancer influences, we can improve
home and family conditions, and open up our inner feelings. You should guard
against becoming too moody or withdrawing into a protective crab-like shell.
To maximize growth during this new moon cycle you should emphasize family
matters, nurture loved ones (including yourself!), and start simply enjoying
yourself more as the Sun enters Leo (try cooking up a suntan ;-}). While
Cancer is known for being moody, the moods can swing both ways ... so if you
find yourself on the backswing just kick your feet out and swing away ;-}.
At the start of this moon cycle Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto are all
still retrograde indicating the continuation of a reflective and reevaluative
period. While Pluto does turn direct during this moon cycle, with the other
outer planets to follow, we won't be able to charge ahead quite yet since both
Venus and Mercury turn retrograde before the next new moon.
--------------------
Moon's First Quarter : Thursday 11 July - Thursday 18 July
--------------------
<< Thursday 11 July >>
The Solar Eclipse occurs today at 19Cancer! Conceive something wonderful!
<< Monday 15 July >>
Mars enters Virgo today for a stay until 01September. Physical or male-
oriented aggressive energies (Mars) will be more favorably expressed when
directed towards attention to detail and service to others (Virgo).
Practicality, prudence and thoroughness are required. People are apt to
be a bit nervous and high-strung.
We can enjoy a burst of expansive and grandiose ideas and plans as Mercury
conjuncts Jupiter at 17Leo. Thoughts are optimistic and regal on the mental
level, with a hint of cockiness and a touch of decadence. This aspect favors
writing, journalism, travel, and higher teachings.
Our manner of communicating to ourselves and others may undergo challenges
later today as Mercury at 17Leo squares Pluto at 17Scorpio. These challenges
may be severe enough to divert us to a new way of thinking about ourselves
and of communicating to others. Powerful and forceful communications may
be expressed, and with both planets in fixed signs neither side is likely
to budge. Our best bet is to accept any criticism from others with a calm
and listening ear, and then use the feedback to modify our attitudes and
behaviors. While this sounds good, it may not be so easy to accomplish today.
<< Tuesday 16 July >>
Our ambitions to achieve great things may be aroused for a period of several
days or even a week or two as Jupiter at 17Leo squares Pluto at 17Scorpio.
We may strive for power or success, but our efforts may run into considerable
resistance from others, especially if our methods are not completely
scrupulous. This transit may bring success, yet it may provoke conflict with
authorities, sometimes quite innocently. We may become involved in projects
to repair or restore something, yet while the aim is to improve, there may be
opposition from those who feel threatened by our efforts. We should avoid
becoming obsessed with any course of action, and be ready to reexamine our
ideas of right and wrong. There is danger of becoming convinced of a point
of view that is actually rather shady. Avoid underhanded activities.
---------------------
Moon's Second Quarter : Thursday 18 July - Friday 26 July
---------------------
<< Tuesday 23 July >>
The Sun transitions from Cancer to Leo early this morning, where it will stay
until 23August. This is the Sun's natural sign (Sun rules Leo) and is thus
the highlight of the year for the expression of ego and personality (Sun).
This can lead to a regal/royal and potentially arrogant attitude, yet it does
not hold quite so much egotism as it sounds since Leo also imparts great
generosity, playfulness, and affection towards children. The following
chart highlights this sun-sign transition.

<< Thursday 25 July >>
The conjunction of the female (Venus) and male (Mars) influences at 07Virgo
can create a sensual and sexy energy flow today and for some time thereafter.
This aspect realigns our desire nature (Mars) with our value orientation
(Venus) in the sign of purity, work, and service (Virgo). Neither Mars nor
Venus are particularly closely aligned with the practical and prudent Virgo
energies, and with both planets in Virgo we may scrutinize and disect our
relationships too much. Women and men are both likely to be strongly put off
by rude or even slightly lascivious behavior. We are better off finding our
loved ones and cuddling up closely ;-}.
--------------------
Moon's Third Quarter : Friday 26 July - Saturday 3 August
--------------------
<< Friday 26 July >>
Mercury joins Venus and Mars in Virgo today for a stay until 19August.
With Mercury in Virgo our thoughts turn to details and practical concerns.
Our mental resources are well developed since Mercury rules Virgo. Projects
can be well planned with thorough attention to all phases, yet a rather
conservative approach will probably be adopted.
A partial lunar eclipse with the Sun at 03Leo and the Moon at 03Aquarius
completes the recent solar/lunar eclipse cycle today, and should heighten
the prevailing energies again. This could make for a wild party.
However, a more somber atmosphere may predominate tonight as the Sun at
03Leo is also lined up in opposition to Saturn at 03Aquarius. Sun oppose
Saturn makes us conscious of limitations imposed by circumstance, and is
accompanied by an inability to communicate. We need to balance our needs
against our obligations today. Energy levels will be low, but try not to
wallow in loneliness or despair. Plans which are set up now may not be
stable or well-grounded. Bolster your hopes!
<< Sunday 28 July >>
The first of the retrograde outer planets gradually shifts its emphasis from
the internalized retrograde energies to an externalized expression today as
Pluto turns from retrograde to direct motion at 17Scorpio. We are now
approaching the end of this period of consolidation and introversion, so get
ready to emerge over the next two months into a new year of forward progress
on the deeper aspects of our selves.
<< Thursday 1 August >>
Venus at 07Virgo turns retrograde today until 13September. This is not the
best time to get married or to redecorate since we are likely to be unclear
about our values, tastes and affections. Avoid drastic cosmetic or decorative
changes such as punk hairdos, new clothes which make a fashion statement, or
new living room furniture during this time. Take this time to reflect on
those things that you truly value, and to winnow out things which you may
have valued in the past but don't value anymore.
We may be motivated to provide physical energy and work to implement ideas
as Mars at 11Virgo trines Uranus at 11Capricorn. We may experience impulsive
and explosive urges, so try to channel aggressiveness into constructive
pursuits. Mars trine Uranus indicates that we may be motivated to provide
physical energy and work to implement ideas. This aspect can indicate
innovative or erratic actions, or unforeseen breakthroughs in scientific
endeavors. Also, this aspect is exemplified by stubborn willpower, courage,
unique accomplishments, and nervous energies. Maybe this is your day to
be a hero ;-}.
---------------------
Moon's Fourth Quarter : Saturday 3 August - Friday 9 August
---------------------
<< Wednesday 7 August >>
Mercury turns retrograde at 06Virgo today until 31August. This particular
retrograde period is relatively brief (3+ weeks) but it will 'leak' out for
several days on both ends. When Mercury is retrograde our communication
faculties slow down, we become more reflective, and communications in general
falter. Try to allow extra time, and be content to let things happen at their
own pace. Don't make your schedule too tight for this period, as there will
likely be unforeseen delays. Be careful what you say or write due to
inevitable misinterpretations. Do not expect anyone to understand your idioms
or inuendos. Due to miscommunications on all levels, this is _not_ a good
time to sign contracts. This _is_ a good time for reassessing old ideas but
not so good for initiating new ideas since you may not be accurately grasping
the context. So turn down your jets, allow for delays, and reconsider any
thoughts which seem inspired.
Our intuitive and imaginative faculties will be stimulated today as Mars at
15Virgo trines Neptune at 15Capricorn. At this time, we are more likely to
understand what has to be done and how to go about doing it. We can
experience harmony through the expression of deeper desires. This aspect is
excellent for energetic expression of creativity through performings arts,
dancing, or spiritual healing.
The next new moon occurs in Leo on 9August.
Until then ... the power of this total eclipse new Moon can be a pivotal
initiating point for new developments of all kinds. While new endeavors
may begin slowly, it is the fundamental new conceptions which may have
significant regenerative long-term effects. So nurture yourself and your
ideas now, and allow yourself a good dose of enjoyment as the Sun slips
into playful and generous Leo.

Astrology Watch Highlights
==========================
The new moon on 9August in Leo (fixed, fire) provides an opportunity
to really have some summer fun. This sign relates to the 5th house (Leo)
activities of partying, appreciation of pleasures, affection towards
children, and also imparts a generous attitude. Leo is ruled by the Sun
so there is involvement of the personality/ego with potential for excessive
vanity. Sun-worshippers are in their element and male energies are
emphasized. Leo is fun-loving and playful, but be careful not to tease
the lion or it may turn against you.
As a fixed sign, Leo energies are stable; and as a fire sign the energy is
expressed through actions (fire) rather that through ideas (air), emotions
(water), or things (earth). As a Fixed sign, Leo energies are stable yet may
be stubborn. Using Leo influences, we can enjoy vacations and recreational
activities, play with our children, and express ourselves with ease and pride.
You should guard against too much drama, self-importance, exaggeration or
boasting. To maximize growth during this moon cycle enjoy love affairs,
play, have fun, and shine, shine, shine ;-}.
At the start of this moon cycle Mercury, Venus, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune
are all retrograde indicating a continuing period of reevaluation and inter-
nalization. So take care of any lingering issues now to prepare yourself to
take advantage of new opportunities which may arise sooner than you think.
--------------------
Moon's First Quarter : Friday 9 August - Saturday 17 August
--------------------
<< Saturday 10 August >>
Power clashes with those in authority may arise today as the Sun at 17Leo
squares Pluto at 17Scorpio. With the Sun in Leo it is likely that a matter
of pride or principle could initiate the power clash. Watch your temper and
hold your sharp tongue. It turns out that this is the only square aspect
for this entire moon cycle, and there is not a single opposition ... so if
you can control yourself through this one challenging aspect, then it will be
all downhill for you from here on as far as planetary aspects are concerned.
<< Sunday 11 August >>
Communication within relationships is accentuated today as Mercury conjuncts
Venus at 05Virgo. In Virgo this aspect may promote some reconciliation for
criticisms leveled at each other in the past, and with both Mercury and Venus
retrograde we may have built up a sizable number of these, yet we are more
likely to recognize and comment on flaws and misunderstandings in our own
thinking processes at this time. It turns out that Mercury and Venus are
dancing with each other at varying retrograde speeds during this moon cycle,
and they will actually conjunct each other a total of three times before this
cycle is complete. The first two conjunctions occur in Virgo with both
planets retrograde, while the third occurs after both planets have regressed
into Leo and Mercury has turned direct. This is typically a rather nice
light aspect. The retrograde character of the planets will internalize these
effects but the influences should still retain their positive character.
<< Monday 12 August >>
There is a possibility for powerful actions to effectively reform or
regenerate things today as Mars at 17Virgo sextiles Pluto at 17Scorpio.
Any reorganization changes made now may be irreversible. We may feel that
our goals are sublime and our actions are somehow preordained. There are
deep emotions at work here, and they may find expression in profound sexual
experiences. We may feel great strength both physically and emotionally,
although with the sextile aspect we may have to initiate some action on our
own volition in order to get the juices flowing.
<< Wednesday 14 August >>
The second of three Mercury/Venus conjunctions occurs today at 04Virgo
with both planets retrograde. Open up, and try not to be too critical ...
of yourself or others.
---------------------
Moon's Second Quarter : Saturday 17 August - Sunday 25 August
---------------------
<< Saturday 17 August >>
Expansive and benevolent influences will be activated as the Sun conjuncts
Jupiter at 24Leo. This encourages optimism and philosophical concern for
issues beyond oneself. Creative writing, dramatic performance, and public
speaking are favored. Feelings of peace and harmony prevail, and it's an
excellent time to enjoy a short trip. With this aspect in Leo we may be
rather decadent, yet we should remain quite generous. If we can avoid
becoming over-arrogant then we should have a great time!
<< Monday 19 August >>
We may have a few communication lapses as Mercury retrograde enters Leo for
a stay until 10September. During this Mercury transit we can develop a more
creative mental outlook and more dramatic expression of our ideas. Guard
against a tendency to be over-opinionated or arrogant.
<< Wednesday 21 August >>
There is apt to be alot of dynamic talking about how great we are as the Sun
conjuncts Mercury at 28Leo. The influences are excellent for starting new
projects pertaining to leisure, drama, luxury, or passion. This aspect will
impart clear thinking concerning our dynamism and leadership qualities.
Venus retrograde enters Leo for a stay until 06October. This transit confers
loyalty and generosity to lovers and friends, love of children, being in love
with love, and a passionate nature. We may become overdramatic or egotistical,
may overspend on luxury items, and may become overly concerned with our own
personal beauty (can you say v-a-n-i-t-y? ;-}). However, people will be
generally friendly and out for a good time. This is a great party transit,
and even better once Venus turns direct, so plan to throw a big one and invite
everyone you know!!
<< Thursday 22 August >>
As the Sun conjuncts with Venus at 29Leo we are likely to feel good in a
party sort of way. We may express more generosity and affection, and our
relationships are likely to reflect that. Our tastes will run headlong
toward the extravagant, and a life of luxury would suit us fine today ;-}.
<< Friday 23 August >>
The Sun transitions from Leo to Virgo today for a stay until 23September.
This will signify the entrance into the adaptable (mutable) portion of the
summer season, and the Virgo emphasis will redirect our efforts towards
service, work, and health issues. With the Sun in Virgo people are likely
to be very meticulous (especially about cleanliness), more practical, and
more analytical with a tendency towards nit-picking criticality, yet this
is an excellent time to pursue tasks which require extreme attention to
detail. The following chart highlights this sun-sign transition.

---------- ----------
Duality Masculine Feminine
Element Fire Earth
Quality Fixed Mutable
Planet Sun Mercury
Keyword 'I Will' 'I Analyze'
Polarity Aquarius Pisces
Body Parts Back,heart Nerves,intestines

<< Saturday 24 August >>
We can enjoy a burst of expansive and grandiose ideas and plans as Mercury
conjuncts Jupiter at 26Leo. Thoughts are optimistic and regal on the mental
level, with a hint of cockiness and a touch of decadence. This aspect favors
writing, dramatic expression, journalism, travel, and higher teachings.
--------------------
Moon's Third Quarter : Sunday 25 August - Sunday 1 September
--------------------
<< Sunday 25 August >>
The full moon is exact today with the Sun at 02Virgo and Moon at 02Pisces.
The Piscean influence may result in a burst of emotional oversensitivity, and
some may feel emotionally drained. The mutability of these signs suggests
that we are likely to be able to find a reasonable way out of any predicament
we find ourselves in, however, and if we can resist the dissipation of our
emotions we may be able to enjoy a comfy and romantic full moon period.
<< Tuesday 27 August >>
One of the most favorable astrological aspects occurs in one of the most
fun-loving positions today as Venus conjuncts Jupiter at 27Leo. This aspect
can confer optimism, benevolence, wit, and interpersonal grace. Also, our
outlook on relationships may take a wild swing for the better. The effects
may be more internal than external right now since Venus is still retrograde,
but this aspect should still impart a winning feeling.
<< Saturday 31 August >>
Mercury turns direct today at 23Leo, so bolster your confidence and begin
communicating more freely and succinctly, since people will tend to understand
you more clearly from now on. You may be able to keep up with a tighter
schedule now too.
---------------------
Moon's Fourth Quarter : Sunday 1 September - Sunday 8 September
---------------------
<< Sunday 1 September >>
Mars enters Libra today for a stay until 16October. During this transit
There may be possible conflicts with neighbors or relatives, yet there is a
great potential for cooperative energies to accomplish a great deal during
this time. People may identify too strongly with their beliefs, and
simple disagreement may be interpreted as a challenge to personal beliefs.
People may tend to be argumentative, so be careful not to get involved in
pointless arguments. This can be a good time to "sell" new ideas, so long as
you don't attack others with them, and it is an excellent time for vigorous
and diligent mental work.
<< Monday 2 September >>
Mercury conjuncts Venus for the third and final time today at 23Leo with
Mercury direct yet Venus still retrograde. So, while our relationships may
not be all straightened out yet, maybe our thoughts and mental positions
about them are beginning to shape up nicely ;-}.
We are more likely to act in a responsible and self-controlled manner as
Mars at 01Libra trines Saturn at 01Aquarius. This is an excellent time for
solid mental efforts towards short or long term goals. Our energies can be
effectively focussed and disciplined along with enhanced stamina to complete
difficult or boring tasks.
Forceful changes may be enacted purposefully or may come by surprise today
as the Sun at 10Virgo trines Uranus at 10Capricorn. You may feel restricted
at work and want to break free. Health break-throughs are also possible.
<< Friday 6 September >>
Psychic energy is heightened as the Sun at 14Virgo trines Neptune at
14Capricorn. There is increased potential for creating tangible results from
imagination. Daydreaming is likely, and insights may be of a practical nature.
The next new moon is in Virgo on 8September. Until then ... allow the
retrograde planets to help you unwind from your current entanglements, and
let the Leo Sun guide you through the heat of a passionate and playful summer.

==========================
The new moon on 8September in Virgo (mutable,earth) provides an opportunity
to clean up any messes which have been piling up. Virgo relates to the 6th
house activities of work, service, health/hygiene, and attention to detail.
Virgo is ruled by Mercury, which influences our thinking patterns. Virgo is
an earth sign, however, so the thoughts are applied in a logical and organized
manner. As a mutable sign Virgo influences are adaptable, but can become
very critical and nit-picky, and tend to classify things as black or white.
A great deal of practical work can be done during this Virgo moon cycle.
At the start of this moon cycle Venus, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune are all
still retrograde, but by the end of this cycle _all_ planets will be direct.
Our minds are starting to click as Mercury accelerates its pace, and our
relationships should soon follow suit as Venus turns direct shortly. So ...
the end of our period of reevaluation is near, and it is time to wrap up
any loose ends to prepare for a coming wave of expanded external activities.
--------------------
Moon's First Quarter : Sunday 8 September - Sunday 15 September
--------------------
<< Tuesday 10 September >>
We can enjoy a burst of expansive and grandiose ideas and plans as Mercury
conjuncts Jupiter at 29Leo. Thoughts are optimistic and regal on the mental
level, with a sizable dose of extravagance. This aspect favors writing,
dramatic expression, journalism, travel, and higher teachings.
Later today, Mercury enters Virgo for a stay until 27September. With Mercury
in Virgo our thoughts turn to details and practical concerns. Our mental
resources are well developed since Mercury rules Virgo. Projects can be well
planned with thorough attention to all phases, yet a rather conservative
approach will probably be adopted.
<< Wednesday 11 September >>
We get a potential energizer today as the Sun at 18Virgo sextiles Pluto at
18Scorpio. While this can impart relentless energy, it may be as a result of
circumstances which force us to exert our maximal efforts. Tasks which call
for nominal energy expenditures with little return may be disposed of in
deference to major efforts requiring destruction and regeneration.
<< Thursday 12 September >>
Jupiter leaves fun-loving Leo today to enter service-oriented Virgo for
a stay until 10October1992. Jupiter does not really enjoy its full expansive
expression when in Virgo, since Virgo is rather restrained. Jupiter in Virgo
is associated with practicality, hoarding of possessions, and an ability to
work hard. An enhanced ability to attend to the smallest details can be
applied on a massive scale, along with heightened analytical facilities,
allowing us to undertake large complex projects with far-reaching scope.
We may begin self-help programs to improve and maintain our health during
this transit, and these should soon counteract the aftereffects of any
excesses we may have indulged in while Jupiter was in Leo ;-}.
<< Friday 13 September >>
We can resume buying fashionable items which are likely to reflect better
taste now as Venus at 21Leo returns to direct motion. There is a tendency
for extravagance, but so long as we can afford it we can start planning to
redecorate our home or office too. Love relationships and partnerships
should improve and may become more playful and energetic.
---------------------
Moon's Second Quarter : Sunday 15 September - Monday 23 September
---------------------
<< Monday 16 September >>
Be careful of accidents with cars or sharp objects today as Mars at 10Libra
squares Uranus at 10Capricorn. Prepare for quick and unexpected changes.
We will feel bright and alert today as Mercury at 10Virgo trines Uranus at
10Capricorn. We can generate ambitious new ideas relying upon conservative
ground-work, and some of our inventions or discoveries may be surprising or
even startling. Science and health discoveries are emphasized.
<< Thursday 19 September >>
We end a period of internal assimilation of the forces of change as Uranus
turns to direct motion at 10Capricorn. Changes which may have been in the
works for some time may begin to demonstrate tangible external effects now.
We may be elevated by a dose of sublime inspiration today as Mercury at
14Virgo trines Neptune at 14Capricorn. Our ideas may turn toward art, dreams,
or music. Thoughts are sensitive and flow smoothly. Artists may find
inspiration, but those working with facts and figures may find them a bit
muddled.
<< Saturday 21 September >>
Creative ideas could lead to reforms of long-term plans as Mercury at 18Virgo
sextiles Pluto at 18Scorpio. Travel itineraries are subject to revision.
<< Sunday 22 September >>
Our energies may dissipate into a haze today as Mars at 14Libra squares
Neptune at 14Capricorn. This can lead to laziness, procrastination, or
religious fanaticism. Our desires may be deluded so don't push them too hard.
--------------------
Moon's Third Quarter : Monday 23 September - Monday 30 September
--------------------
<< Monday 23 September >>
Today the Sun will transition from Virgo to Libra until 23October. This
signifies the entrance into the active (cardinal) initiating portion of the
fall season. This day is also called the Autumnal Equinox, and is a day
when daytime hours equal nighttime hours (12) all over the world. The Libra
emphasis will redirect our energies towards relationships. Libra is the
natural 7th house of complementary partners, and is ruled by Venus. Libra
is associated with balance in all forms. This is not a static balancing act,
however, but a dynamic oscillation which strives for a balanced equilibrium.
Libra can be very indecisive since both sides of an issue are fairly weighed.
Libra energy is very communicative, but may relinquish too much of one's self
in order to please someone else. This is an excellent time to work on your
relationships. The following chart highlights this sun-sign transition.
Virgo Libra
---------- ----------
Duality Feminine Masculine
Element Earth Air
Quality Mutable Cardinal
Planet Mercury Venus
Keyword 'I Analyze' 'I Balance'
Polarity Pisces Aries
Body Parts Nerves,guts lower back, buttucks
Animals Domestic pets Snakes, lizards
Our work on relationships may receive a bosst as the Sun at 00Libra trines
Saturn at 00Aquarius. This can be a serious day for getting much work
accomplished and fulfilling the obligations of our relationships. Try to
follow practical actions based upon careful planning.
Our work on relationships will be even further accentuated with the full
Moon at 00Aries opposed to the Sun at 00Libra. This full moon can be a bit
difficult to restrain, but if you can avoid outbursts of anger then our
heightened activity level can resolve many issues in very short order.
<< Thursday 26 September >>
Neptune at 14Capricorn officially turns direct today, though it will take
several days before the effects become evident. When Neptune turns direct
things which have been hidden for some time may now become openly known.
Also, the psychic character of Neptune initiates a new wave of individual
and group psychic development.
<< Friday 27 September >>
Mercury enters Libra today for a stay until 15October. Mercury in Libra
imparts an ability to reason about issues and to see both sides clearly.
For just this reason we are apt to be indecisive or non-committal. Our
thoughts turn towards keeping the peace, and attempting to balance biased
ideas with compassionate thoughts.
<< Saturday 28 September >>
We should be bolstered by practical and stable thinking patterns as Mercury
00Libra trines Saturn at 00Aquarius. Our ideas may tend to be conservative
and goal-oriented, yet steady progress is achievable. This aspect imparts a
keen sense of what is practical and workable and what is not.
---------------------
Moon's Fourth Quarter : Monday 30 September - Monday 7 October
---------------------
<< Thursday 3 October >>
We should prepare for and beware of sudden upsets and disruptive situations
which may destabilize us as the Sun conjuncts Mercury at 10Libra and both
square Uranus at 10Capricorn. We desire to break down our everyday routines
today, yet we may end up taking foolhardy risks to do so. Be extra careful
today since we tend to be more accident prone. Learn to go with the flow of
disruptions, and avoid arguing in the face of change. Allow for delays
resulting from unexpected events. There may be thunder and lightning
expressed in communications relating to business or partnerships. Through
all of this we may be able to remain talkative and sociable, however, and
we are likely to entertain Libran thoughts of union, peace, joining forces,
beauty and aesthetics. Disagreements or misunderstandings, of which there
may be several today, can probably be resolved in a peaceful manner.
<< Saturday 5 October >>
Saturn turns direct today which should loosen up certain restrictions which
may have seemed log-jammed for quite some time. This transition identifies
the start of a period during which it is more advisable to take on new
and more far-reaching responsibilities.
Our practical thinking may become confused and deluded today as Mercury at
14Libra squares Neptune at 14Capricorn. However, this influence can also
be especially fruitful for highly creative and intuitive thinking.
<< Sunday 6 October >>
Venus enters Virgo today for a stay until 09November. During this transit
we can become very discriminating, especially in the analysis of love feelings
and of partner's shortfalls. Try not to over-analyze romance or to constrain
relationships to follow prescribed guidelines. Avoid becoming nit-picky.
<< Monday 7 October >>
We may be in for some challenges today resulting from delusion, dreaminess,
creativity, or dissipation of energies as the Sun at 14Libra squares Neptune
at 14Capricorn. This may inspire some to creative expression, and may instill
psychic content into relationships, yet it may also create delusional thinking
with respect to any practical or factual reality orientation. Drugs or other
escapist tendencies may be indulged.
The next new moon is in Libra on 7 October. Until then ... a bit of extra
effort on our relationships should pay back handsomely, and aside from having
to sidestep a few potentially sticky Uranus situation, we should plan for a
new phase of prolonged forward progress as the entire zodiac shifts into

==========================
The new moon on 07October at 14Libra (cardinal air) provides an opportunity
to mend relationships which may have become imbalanced. Libra relates to the
7th house concerns of relationships, partners, compromise and balance. Libra
is ruled by Venus, which relates to our expressions of love and our sense of
values. Libra is an air sign, however, so love is expressed through ideas and
communications, as opposed to more earthy and hedonistic love expressions
associated with the fixed earth sign Taurus (which is also ruled by Venus).
As a cardinal sign Libra energies actively engage in a balancing act which
results in a dynamic equilibrium as opposed to a static steady-state. Libra
energy can quickly identify fair compromises, yet Libra imparts an urge to
please and so may give away too much of 'self' in order to keep the peace.
To maximize the benefits of this moon cycle, address the sources of disharmony
in your relationships with compassion, yet be sure to save some for yourself.
--------------------
Moon's First Quarter : Monday 7 October - Tuesday 15 October
--------------------
<< Monday 7 October >>
We may be in for some challenges today resulting from delusion, dreaminess,
creativity, or dissipation of energies as the Sun at 14Libra squares Neptune
at 14Capricorn. This may inspire some to creative expression, and may instill
psychic content into relationships, yet it may also create delusional thinking
with respect to any practical or factual reality orientation. Drugs or other
escapist tendencies may be indulged. The effects of this aspect are likely
to be accentuated since it coincides with the sign/degree of the new moon.
<< Monday 14 October >>
Dynamic and forceful communications which may become antagonistic are likely
today as Mercury conjuncts Mars at 29Libra. However, with both planets in
Libra disagreements should be of an intellectual nature, and people should be
receptive to compromise or may agree to disagree.
---------------------
Moon's Second Quarter : Tuesday 15 October - Wednesday 23 October
---------------------
<< Tuesday 15 October >>
One of the most favorable astrological aspects occurs today, yet in a
somewhat restrained position, as Venus conjuncts Jupiter at 07Virgo.
This aspect can confer optimism, benevolence, wit, and interpersonal grace.
Our outlook on relationships may take a swing for the better, and our personal
health regimens may finally take hold and show results. The Virgo influence
may direct our redecorating urges towards more mundane cleaning or organizing
activities, yet this will also be an excellent time to entertain larger
redecorating projects since great attention can be paid to the small details.
Mercury enters fixed water sign Scorpio for a stay until 04November.
With Mercury in Scorpio our communications can become imbued with deep
emotion. Our mental position may be unwavering and stubborn, and may be
presented forcefully and relentlessly. During this time we may become
fascinated with thoughts of life after death or other occult topics, and
profound insights may be revealed. This transit is generally favorable
for joint financial resources.
While we are still a bit up in the air trying to adjust to Mercury's entry
into Scorpio, our mental ideas and thinking patterns may face additional
obstructions which could lead us into a depressive turn of mind today as
Mercury at 00Scorpio squares Saturn at 00Aquarius. Travel arrangements may
also face some snags, and we may feel generally down in the dumps.
<< Wednesday 16 October >>
Mars enters Scorpio (which it co-rules) today for a stay until 28November.
During this time our sexuality is highly stimulated, and has an intense and
transforming quality. Also during this transit our ego drives may create
confrontations with others which may force some kind of transformation in our
lives. Potential conflicts may revolve around shared property or joint
finances.
<< Thursday 17 October >>
Our physical energies may be thwarted and pent up as Mars at 00Scorpio
squares Saturn at 00Aquarius. Our energies may be impeded or fizzle out,
and any forced issues are likely to result in equal force opposition. We
may feel that we are racing at 80mph with our brakes on full ;-}. We should
avoid any activity which subjects us to a high possibility for broken bones.
Try to remain low-key to avoid the negative expressions of this aspect.
<< Saturday 19 October >>
Exciting new love interests may arise today as Venus at 10Virgo trines
Uranus at 10Capricorn. Science or art may figure in the excitement.
Relationships stemming from these encounters are likely to be mature and
responsible with a touch of prudishness, yet they can be embellished by
a tingly and earthy physical attraction.
<< Sunday 20 October >>
We can effectively initiate communications for expansive new projects as
Mercury at 07Scorpio sextiles Jupiter at 07Virgo. Favored are Virgo projects
involving health issues or requiring attention to detail, or intense Scorpio
activities which promote emotional reform.
<< Monday 21 October >>
Our mind is stimulated with quick intuitive and inventive thinking as
Mercury at 10Scorpio sextiles Uranus at 10Capricorn. Our original dramatic
expression is enhanced, and inventions or discoveries are favored in
electronics, science or engineering.
--------------------
Moon's Third Quarter : Wednesday 23 October - Wednesday 30 October
--------------------
<< Wednesday 23 October >>
The full moon becomes exact at 7:09AM today with the Sun at 29Libra and the
Moon at 29Aries. There could be a great deal of energy released this morning,
so we should refrain from aggressive overreactions if possible. Since this
aspect occurs so close to the opposing cusps of Scorpio and Taurus, we may
become a bit confused tomorrow about our overreactions today, so it will be
wise to allow our positions to be more changable now, and to avoid any major
confrontations until at least tomorrow.
Later today, the Sun transitions from Libra to Scorpio for a stay until
22November. This signifies our entrance into the stable (fixed) portion of
the fall season. Scorpio emphasis will redirect our efforts towards 8th
house concerns of sex, death with reformative rebirth, and joint finances.
An apt descriptive phrase for the fixed water sign Scorpio is "Still waters
run deep". The following chart highlights this sun-sign transition.
Libra Scorpio
---------- ----------
Duality Masculine Feminine
Element Air Water
Quality Cardinal Fixed
Planet Venus Pluto (co-ruler Mars)
Keyword 'I Balance' 'I Desire'
Polarity Aries Taurus
Body Parts Lower back Genitals
Animals Snakes, lizards Insects, crustaceans
<< Thursday 24 October >>
Avoid indulgences and self-pity today as Venus at 14Virgo squares Neptune at
14Capricorn. Beware of being swept into depression and emotional confusion.
Watch the road carefully .. avoid daydreaming while driving.
Our egos may be impeded or our energies may be worn down today as the Sun
at 00Scorpio squares Saturn at 00Aquarius. Any issues we force are likely to
result in equal force opposition ... or possibly immovable opposition since
the square is in fixed signs. Try to remain low-key to avoid the negative
expressions of this aspect.
Our perceptions will be keen as Mercury at 14Scorpio sextiles Neptune at
14Capricorn. This aspect stimulates a fertile imagination, and we may become
more than a bit dreamy. Creative writing is especially favored. Later today
Mercury at 15Scorpio also sextiles Venus at 15Virgo. This mild aspect between
inner planets has a relatively brief effect of making us feel pretty good. It
can allow us to communicate effectively about likes and dislikes, especially
regarding fashion and decorating ideas or emotionally intense experiences.
<< Sunday 27 October >>
Daylight Savings ends today, so be sure that you set your clock BACK in
the wee hours of the morning so that you can enjoy an extra hour on this
free-floating Sunday which doesn't have a single astrological aspect.
<< Monday 28 October >>
Be subtle with communications today as Mercury conjuncts Pluto at 20Scorpio.
Don't try to force people or it could lead to resentment. Be a reformer, not
a dictator. Battle against your own stubbornness, try to keep a lid on your
tongue, and try to go with the flow.
<< Tuesday 29 October >>
Our love life or affective nature may undergo a somewhat radical yet
contructive reform as Venus at 20Virgo sextiles Pluto at 20Scorpio. With
Venus in Virgo this may involve our health or work surroundings, and with
Pluto in Scorpio the reforms may be intense and sensual. As with all sextile
aspects we must take the initiative or it may not happen.
---------------------
Moon's Fourth Quarter : Wednesday 30 October - Wednesday 6 November
---------------------
<< Wednesday 30 October >>
We should try to expand our abilities to satisfy our own desires today as
Mars at 09Scorpio sextiles Jupiter at 09Virgo. We may find that luck is with
us if we expend the effort to try. This aspect is excellent for positive and
optimistic action on new projects.
<< Friday 1 November >>
Unexpected events may cause either disruption or inspiration today as Mars
at 11Scorpio sextiles Uranus at 11Capricorn. Our desires may be surprisingly
fulfilled, and we could enjoy success with almost anything that we seriously
attempt. Watch out for the other guy while driving today.
<< Saturday 2 November >>
With a bit of internal bolstering we can become brimming with boisterous
self-confidence and optimism as the Sun at 10Scorpio sextiles Jupiter at
10Virgo. Our ego drives will be energized, and we may enjoy exceptional good
luck. Things planned today should work out well, and it is a good day for
group participation activities or philosophical pursuits.
<< Sunday 3 November >>
Practical new work-related discoveries or useful new inventions are possible
today as the Sun at 11Scorpio sextiles Uranus at 11Capricorn. This aspect
may bring some mild relief from recent tensions, and can encourage the
redirection of our efforts into exciting new areas.
<< Monday 4 November >>
While it may take a day or two to sink in, we are likely to feel like a huge
load is taken off of our minds when the serious and deep Mercury in Scorpio
ideas are replaced with the free-spirited laissez-faire attitudes of Mercury
in Sagittarius. We will enjoy this until 09January92, during which time we
will become more interested in higher-learning and open philosophical
discussions. We must be careful to maintain at least some control over what
we choose to express openly or we may end up with both feet squarely in our
mouths and other people becoming offended.
Mercury gets off to a good start in Sagitarrius by stimulating a clear mind
and good judgement as Mercury at 01Sagittarius sextiles Saturn at 01Aquarius.
This is an excellent time to lay the groundwork for future plans. This aspect
enhances our capacity for organization, and encourages us to leave nothing to
chance. Carefully recording your dreams today may yield additional insights.
The next New Moon occurs in Scorpio on 6November. Until then .. find a
long stabilizing pole to steady yourself with compassion in your Libran
balancing act on the tight-rope of relationships.

Astrology Watch Highlights
==========================
The new moon on 06November in the fixed water sign Scorpio provides an
opportunity to rebuild and stabilize our emotions. Scorpio is ruled by Pluto
(reform, rebirth, transformation) and relates to 8th house concerns of sex,
death with rebirth, and benefit from other people's money. As a fixed sign,
Scorpio energies are stable yet often stubborn and relentless, and thus as a
water sign it is associated with the most persistent and tenacious emotions.
As with other water signs Scorpio energies can be sensitive to insult, however
the negative form of reaction does not manifest as depression (Cancer) or
insecurity (Pisces) but rather may be harbored and expressed as fuming or
resentment. Scorpio is associated with the genitals and imparts strong
sensual/sexual overtones. Psychic faculties are sensitized.
Since Scorpio's ruler Pluto is currently transiting through Scorpio, all
Scorpio/Pluto effects will be heightened during this moon cycle. The way to
maximize your growth during this new moon cycle is to avoid clinging to your
emotional baggage, and allow Pluto energies to destroy all unnecessary
emotional attachments of the past. Problems will arise if you fight against
Pluto's natural process of winnowing out obsolete emotional attachments.
The new moon occurs at 6:11 (or 6:12?) Eastern Standard Time, which
corresponds to 11:11 Greenwich Mean Time. As presented in DEJAVU Note 1476,
the Star-Borne group claims that this new moon on 06November prepares us
for a major 11:11 "activation" phase starting on 11November and ending on
11January1992. Astrological aspects lending energy to this activation are
listed in Star-Borne's "The Starry Messenger" newsletter as : Sun conjunct
Mars (Scorpio-08Nov), Sun conjunct Pluto (Scorpio-12Nov), Mars conjunct
Pluto (Scorpio-15Nov), and Moon conjunct Uranus (Capricorn-11Nov). The
period around 11November is definitely an active astrological period, which
also includes the following aspects : Venus trine Saturn (10Nov), Jupiter
trine Uranus (11Nov), Mercury square Jupiter (12Nov), and Uranus conjunct
the Moon North Node (12Nov).
Several of these aspects are strong energizers; in particular the Scorpio
Sun-Mars-Pluto conjunctions, and to a lesser yet possibly more benefic extent,
the Jupiter-Uranus trine. The conjunction of Uranus and the Moon North Node
may also be influential, yet our reference materials claim insufficient
experience with this aspect to forward an interpretation. Understanding
these influences coincident with the 11:11 "activation" may allow us to more
perceptively identify relevant energy shifts, and to decide for ourselves
whether 11November is a pivotal turning point, or just another day.
--------------------
Moon's First Quarter : Wednesday 6 November - Thursday 14 November
--------------------
<< Wednesday 6 November >>
Our psychic energy is stimulated today as Mars at 14Scorpio sextiles Neptune
at 14Capricorn. This aspect may spur changes which can lead to excitement,
and heightens our intuition concerning our own goals and drives.
<< Thursday 7 November >>
We may become mystical, meditative, and dreamy today as the Sun at 14Scorpio
sextiles Neptune at 14Capricorn. This aspect can make us very sensitive to
the situations of others. Our intuitive and creative faculties are stimulated,
and we can enjoy and appreciate art and beauty. We gain insights into the
workings of the sub-conscious mind, providing valuable material for productive
spiritual development. Romance tends toward the exotic now, so use your
wildest imagination... ;-}
<< Friday 8 November >>
A real energizer hits us today as the Sun conjuncts Mars at 15Scorpio. There
is a possibility of ego-based over-aggression with this aspect, yet athletic
prowess is at its height so athletic outlets are highly recommended to burn
off excess energy. Otherwise, excess energy may be expressed as irritability
or arguing, and accidents may result from impulsive or reckless actions.
Strong regenerative forces may be available to us, however, and initiation
of new creative projects is favored. This aspect may also expose our level
of satisfaction with our current life situation, and may prompt us to change
our circumstances or our ambitions.
<< Saturday 9 November >>
Venus enters Libra today for a stay until 6December. Relationships, fairness,
sensitivity, and appreciation of beauty gain importance within our personal
sense of values. Since Venus rules Libra, a natural affinity is expressed
during this transit, and the air sign influences promote many new ideas.
<< Sunday 10 November >>
We can gain inner strength with personal relationships today as Venus at
01Libra trines Saturn at 01Aquarius. Friendships and love relationships
can gain mental stability on a more secure and honest communicative
foundation. We may feel more willing and able to make significant
interpersonal commitments today. Libran influences can impart harmony
and balance to otherwise serious discussions.
<< Monday 11 November >>
We may be confronted with unexpected opportunities for expansion of our
earthly interests today as Jupiter at 11Virgo trines Uranus at 11Capricorn
(an appropriate aspect degree for this purported 11:11 activation day ;-}).
New practical or business opportunities may present themselves. We may
have a compulsion to experience a new freedom by doing something different
from our normal routine. We may strive to discover new metaphysical or
philosophical truths, or to incorporate a new activity into our lives.
We are very receptive to new ideas, but we must be careful not to get
involved with something solely because it is a novelty. A split-second
decision may be required to take advantage of a sudden change which can open
up new opportunities, and acting quickly may work strongly to our benefit!
<< Tuesday 12 November >>
We can bolster optimistic attitudes towards long-range goals today as Mercury
at 11Sagittarius squares Jupiter at 11Virgo (11's yet again ;-}). This aspect
can be favorable, and at this time we may be able to grasp the whole picture
and think in big, ideal, abstract terms. We may be sloppy with details,
however, and may be inclined to overlook important details which conflict
with our larger plans.
Intense experiences may force us to become actively involved today as the
Sun conjuncts Pluto at 20Scorpio. We may have to repair either a posession
(eg. car) or a situation which has broken down to the point that it must
change radically in order to proceed. We may be confronted by a person
trying to exert unreasonable power over us, forcing us to defend ourselves.
Pluto influences may expose hidden elements of personal or social
transformation. In any case, we may be compelled to enter into experiences
which plunge us well below the superficial level.
---------------------
Moon's Second Quarter : Thursday 14 November - Thursday 21 November
---------------------
<< Friday 15 November >>
Intense emotional power surrounds us today as Mars conjuncts Pluto at
20Scorpio. Scorpio is ruled by Pluto, and Mars is a co-ruler, so this is a
very powerful and influential aspect. Some may abuse their power over others
in a forceful and dominating way, which will likely be met with resistance
and resentment. Sexual energies are incredibly potent now and may have a
profound transforming quality. Private personal matters may be difficult to
handle now since our sensitivity for others may be dwarfed by our power.
We gain satisfaction out of having and using power ... our challenge is to
use it creatively and in a manner which is not in conflict with others.
<< Tuesday 19 November >>
Interpersonal challenges may result today as Venus at 11Libra squares Uranus
at 11Capricorn. Try to avoid needlessly disrupting or startling friends or
partners over career or business restrictions. Unexpected events could occur
in relationships.
--------------------
Moon's Third Quarter : Thursday 21 November - Thursday 28 November
--------------------
<< Thursday 21 November >>
The full moon is exact in fixed signs today as the Moon at 29Taurus opposes
the Sun at 29Scorpio. "Stubborn" is the word of the day today, so try to
avoid engaging in head-butting contests or unproductive no-win arguments.
If we can hold on through the full moon, we may soon find relief from our
pent-up energies as the Moon quickly moves into Gemini and the Sun into
Sagittarius tomorrow, adding some much-needed emotional bran fiber to our
constipated fixed-sign emotional energies ;-}.
<< Friday 22 November >>
The Sun transitions from Scorpio to Sagittarius today for a stay until
22December. This transition will signify our entrance into the mutable
(changable) portion of the fall season. The Sagittarian emphasis will redirect
our efforts towards the 9th house concerns of philosophy, higher education,
and travel, and will impart a free-spirited and laissez-faire attitude.
Sagittarian energy is aptly characterized as a care-free and happy wanderer.
The Sun's entrance into Sagittarius (ruled by Jupiter) will certainly lighten
up most people's hearts following a deeply emotional excursion through Scorpio.
The following chart highlights this sun-sign transition.
Scorpio Sagittarius
---------- -----------
Duality Feminine Masculine
Element Water Fire
Quality Fixed Mutable
Planet Pluto Jupiter
Keyword 'I Desire' 'I See'
Polarity Taurus Gemini
Body Parts Genitals Liver, Thighs

Avoid indulgences and self-pity today as Venus at 15Libra squares Neptune at
15Capricorn. Beware of being swept into depression and emotional confusion.
Watch the road carefully and don't daydream while driving.
<< Sunday 24 November >>
We enjoy an orderly state of mind and self-discipline excellent for
constructive work as the Sun at 02Sagittarius sextiles Saturn at 02Aquarius.
This aspect confers constructive ambition, good organization, and a mature
attitude. This is a very favorable time for important communications with
those in power. We are likely to make steady progress toward goals, and
enjoy an enhanced sense of dignity. Some initiative and patience may be
required in order to reap the benefits of this aspect.
---------------------
Moon's Fourth Quarter : Thursday 28 November - Thursday 5 December
---------------------
<< Thursday 28 November >>
Today we enter a mentally blas� period as Mercury at 24Sagittarius turns
retrograde until 18December. This should be a very obvious astrological
influence since with Mercury in Sagittarius we speak just about anything that
enters our mind, and with Mercury retrograde we are likely to encounter a
plethora of boneheaded ideas over the next couple of weeks. Hopefully we
we will hear more of them from others than from out of our own mouths ;-}.
When Mercury turns retrograde our communication faculties slow down, we
become more reflective, and communications in general falter. This does not
have to be such a negative period so long as you don't try to push..push..push
everything to completion. Try to allow extra time, and be content to let
things happen at their own pace. You definitely don't want a tight schedule
when Mercury is retrograde, so try to get as many lingering responsibilities
as possible resolved before today.
Our free-wheeling spirit will be enhanced over the next month as Mars enters
Sagittarius for a stay until 9Jan92. This transit is great for sports lovers,
and for those who are planning to travel. If you are traveling, keep your
plans flexible and allow ample time to simply wander. During this transit we
become more friendly, optimistic, enthusiastic, impulsive, and independent.
Physical outlets will likely be needed to expend our increased energy and
vitality.
<< Saturday 30 November >>
We should be in a joking mood today as Mercury at 24Sagittarius sextiles
Venus at 24Libra. This mild aspect between inner planets has a relatively
brief effect of making us feel pretty good. It can allow us to communicate
effectively about likes and dislikes, especially regarding decorating ideas
or relationships. However, with Mercury retrograde we should probably place
more trust in how we feel than in what we think or say.
<< Tuesday 3 December >>
Influences are favorable for initiating career or physical training regimens
today as Mars at 02Sagittarius sextiles Saturn at 02Aquarius. Our work should
proceed smoothly if we are properly prepared.
The next new Moon occurs in Sagittarius on December 5th. Until then ...
prepare yourself for a slowing down period as Mercury turns retrograde ...
and stabilize your Scorpio emotional underpinnings to allow yourself to have
a free-wheeling good time once the Sagittarian influences take over ;-}

Astrology Watch Highlights
==========================
The new moon on 05December in the mutable fire sign Sagittarius provides us
with opportunities to explore the world around us, and in the process, to
expand our own personal philosophies. Sagittarius is ruled by benefic Jupiter
(expansion) and relates to the 9th house concerns of philosophy, higher
learning, travel, and exploration. As a mutable sign, Sagittarian energies
are flexible, and are characterized by a care-free laissez-faire attitude.
As with other fire signs (Aries, Leo) Sagittarian energies are associated with
dynamic and fast-moving activities, and can seem insensitive to the feelings
of those who move a bit more slowly. Sagittarian expressions can often appear
to be out-of-control, and eccentric actions may be undertaken for their shock
value alone .. usually all in fun ;-}. Don't ask anyone for their opinion
unless you truly want to know, because the Sagittarian "who cares what anyone
else thinks" attitude could yield some very blunt and startling responses.
The new moon in Sagittarius also indicates interest in foreign affairs, and
may provide some new and expansive concepts relating to world peace. The way
to maximize your growth during this Sagittarian new moon cycle is to lighten
up your attitude and freely explore new fields which you find interesting and
emotionally rewarding.
Mercury is still retrograde for a couple more weeks so this is still a time
for mental reconsideration and reconsolidation.
No astrological guide for the holiday season would be complete without an
indication of the void-of-course moon periods which occur during the height
of the seasonal shopping frenzy. The following list shows quite a few daytime
and evening periods affected this year, so it is probably inevitable that we
will shop during some of them, but the fewer the better :
Monday 09December until 8:27pm
Wednesday 11December after 4:03pm
Saturday 14December until 8:07pm
Monday 16December after 5:19pm
Wednesday 18December after 4:30pm
Sunday 22December after 5:36pm
Try to avoid making _major_ purchases during these times since such gifts are
likely to end up being inappropriate, defective, a wrong size, unappreciated,
over-priced, or returned for one reason or another. At least make sure that
these purchases are easily returnable. Small gifts or joke presents are OK,
and you may _find_ or think of nice gifts during these times, but give then
a bit of time before making the purchase. Have fun, and happy holidays!
--------------------
Moon's First Quarter : Thursday 5 December - Saturday 14 December
--------------------
<< Friday 6 December >>
Mild personal problems arising from hypocrisy, extravagance, and inflated
self-importance are indicated today as the Sun at 13Sagittarius squares
Jupiter at 13Virgo. While the effects of this square are not severe, it can
lead to overexpansion, foolish optimism, and waste. We may feel a bit on the
slow side today, and just taking it easy may be the theme for today. We have
a tendency to adhere to dogmatic views which may cause problems in romantic,
social, or business situations. Gambling is unwise at this time, and charity
may be tinged with a desire for personal recognition and praise. The
'antidote' for most of these negative expressions is to maintain a more
objective and philosophical attitude.
We may face a brief period of confusion about love interests and friendships
as Venus transitions from Libra to Scorpio for a stay until 31December. We
will be changing from a congenial and communicative concern with relationships
(Libra) to a deep and intense emotional concern with sex, death and rebirth
(Scorpio). Venus in Scorpio provides an opportunity to stabilize relationships
through deep emotional contact. Venus in Scorpio can be relentless and
unyielding, so this can be a very difficult time to break off a relationship.
Psychic sensitivities are heightened, and can be effectively utilized for
self-improvement. Strong feelings of destiny and fate may be associated with
relationships at this time. Infatuation with sex and death can be transcended
through considerations of the regenerative aspects of the death/rebirth cycle.
The old must die to make way for the new.
<< Sunday 8 December >>
There may be active and witty communications today as the Sun conjuncts
Mercury at 16Sagittarius. With this aspect in Sagittarius, our interactions
may be very direct, possibly in an unwittingly hurtful way. It is likely
that we won't want to be tied down to any plans or ideas. With Mercury
retrograde communications may not quite connect, but they can be very active.
<< Monday 9 December >>
We may be able to bring a new sense of structure and order to broken
relationships as Venus at 03Scorpio squares Saturn at 03Aquarius. This can
indicate an excellent time to sit down and arrive at a conscious understanding
of what each person expects from the other in a relationship. We may feel
a burden of responsibility which requires significant effort on our part.
We can effectively reevaluate our long-range goals today as Mercury at
14Sagittarius squares Jupiter at 14Virgo. This aspect may be favorable by
allowing us to grasp the whole picture, but with Mercury retrograde the
picture may be a bit out of focus. We may be sloppy with details, and we
may overlook important details which conflict with our larger plans.
<< Friday 13 December >>
Dynamic and forceful communications which may become antagonistic are likely
today as Mercury conjuncts Mars at 10Sagittarius. With both planets in
Sagittarius, disagreements could become quite heated, and with Mercury
retrograde things may be said which are later regretted.
---------------------
Moon's Second Quarter : Saturday 14 December - Saturday 21 December
---------------------
<< Tuesday 17 December >>
Unexpected unusual and exciting opportunities may arise as Venus at 13Scorpio
sextiles Uranus at 13Capricorn. We may strive for a fun-loving social life,
and may have unique original ideas in creating art, music, or money. Whatever
brings fun and excitement into your life, go out and do it today ;-}.
<< Wednesday 18 December >>
Mercury returns to direct motion at 08Sagittarius. Thankfully we will all
be able to breath a sigh of relief as Mercury begins its forward progress
over the next few days.
Today can be romantically inspiring as Venus at 14Scorpio sextiles Jupiter at
14Virgo. Artistic endeavors involving music, art, or home-decorating are
likely to give us pleasure. We may receive deserved rewards today which were
previously earned, although we may have to prod a bit for them. We are all
more likely to demonstrate benevolence toward others today.
We may be confronted with challenges today as Mars at 14Sagittarius squares
Jupiter at 14Virgo. These challenges are likely to be a result of the
overexpansion of our desires, or expansion into areas which are not
productive. We may move ahead too fast and thereby miss some important
things which could lead us into accidents. The overexpansion could also be
of the ego, leading to an over-competitive attitude. Be cautious, and try
to relax and let it ride instead of pushing it to the limit.
<< Thursday 19 December >>
Our creative and romantic imagination is aroused as Venus at 15Scorpio
sextiles Neptune at 15Capricorn. Our appreciation of beauty and our
sensitivity to the feelings of others are enhanced.
--------------------
Moon's Third Quarter : Saturday 21 December - Friday 27 December
--------------------
<< Saturday 21 December >>
The full moon is exact this morning with the Sun at 29Sagittarius and the
Moon at 29Gemini. Last night may have been quite a wild party night, with
flirtations rampant. It may take us a while to recuperate, and we may just
feel like wandering around our home in a daze today with the moon in Cancer.
We should feel more grounded and ready for action tomorrow when the Sun has
entered Capricorn.
<< Sunday 22 December >>
This morning the Sun transitions from Sagittarius (mutable fire) to Capricorn
(cardinal earth). This is called the Winter Solstice, the first day of
Winter, and has the least sun-light of the year (in the Northern hemisphere).
It also signifies the entrance into the cardinal (active, initiating) portion
of the winter season. The Capricorn emphasis redirects our efforts towards
the 10th house concerns of career, status and prestige. Capricorn energy
focuses upon the construction of sturdy foundations of all kinds (physical,
emotional, spiritual, etc.), and can provide a required base for the emotional
family-related expressions of its opposite/complementary sign Cancer.
The Sun's entrance into Capricorn (ruled by Saturn) will certainly bring a
more serious and sober attitude to people after the lighter expressions of
Sagittarius. Capricorn energies can endure great sacrifices to move ahead in
a career. Caring and compassion for others must be developed, however, or the
outward success will end up being as empty and unfulfilling as the sacrifices
which led there. The following chart highlights this sun-sign transition.

Some intense and profound sexual impulses may be released today which could
reform our values and our concepts of love as Venus conjuncts Pluto at
22Scorpio. Pluto reforms may not be pleasant, but they can destroy all
outdated concepts to allow for a fresh phase of regeneration to start anew.
Love and relationship reforms may be initiated by the exposure of secrets.
---------------------
Moon's Fourth Quarter : Friday 27 December - Saturday 4 January 1992
---------------------
<< Saturday 28 December >>
We can bolster optimistic attitudes towards long-range goals today as Mercury
at 14Sagittarius squares Jupiter at 14Virgo. With Mercury now direct this
aspect can be more favorable, and at this time we may be able to grasp the
whole picture in sharper focus, and think in big, ideal, abstract terms.
We may still be sloppy with details, however, and overlook some key points.
<< Monday 30 December >>
Our expansive tendencies begin settling back into a period of consolidation
today as Jupiter at 14Virgo turns retrograde until 30April92. This is not
the best period to buy a new house or property, or to build additions onto
your current property. In fact you should reconsider expansion of any kind.
Instead you should attempt to complete and consolidate your current efforts
in preparation for a new wave of expansion beginning in Mar92.
<< Tuesday 31 December >>
We begin a period of elevated attitudes today, becoming more freedom-loving
and optimistic as Venus enters Sagittarius until 25Jan92. The Sagittarian
influence provides a great time for parties and philosophical friendships,
but be careful since people may say what's on their mind with total disregard
for effects on others. Keep your mouth in check and you should have fun ;-}.
The next new Moon occurs in Capricorn on January 4th 1992. Just as the
Scorpio new moon in November occurred at 11:11am GMT, the Capricorn new moon
in January occurs at precisely 11:11pm GMT, and is said to prepare us for
the culmination of this initial 11:11 activation period on 1/11/1992.
Until then ... enjoy your Sagittarian wanderings and ride out the Mercury
retrograde period by not inflicting undue pressures upon yourselves, then
prepare for an industrious and productive solar excursion through the
practical sign Capricorn.

Astrology Watch Highlights
==========================
The new moon on 4January in the cardinal earth sign Capricorn provides us
with opportunities to construct a solid concrete foundation upon which to
erect the physical, emotional, and spiritual structures of our lives.
Capricorn is ruled by Saturn (restriction) and relates to the 10th house
concerns of career, prestige, ambition, and status. As a cardinal sign,
Capricorn energies are active, and are characterized by workaholic tendencies
and more serious and sober attitudes. With Capricorn energies, we become
more aware of our own sense of structure and of their ego concerns. We are
likely to place more emphasis on work, including acceptance of added
responsibilities and more concern for long-range planning. This new moon is
also accentuated by an annular solar eclipse, which indicates that projects
initiated at this time may have a pronounced effect which can last for a
period of six months or more.
Capricorn energies can endure great sacrifices for career ambitions, but they
may ignore the personal compassion and caring which makes life worth living.
As with other earth signs (Taurus, Virgo) Capricorn energies are associated
with practical, rational, and generally down-to-earth activities, which may
seem overly constrained to some of the freer energies of the zodiac. The way
to maximize your growth during this new moon cycle is to pay attention to job
related issues, and to strengthen your professional and business foundations.
However, retain an awareness of the qualities of the opposing sign Cancer by
remaining sensitive to home and family issues, and thus embrace both sides of
the dichotomy between conscious will and tangible success (Capricorn) versus
unconsious mind and intangible feelings (Cancer).
Just as the Scorpio new moon on 06November occurred at 11:11am GMT, the
Capricorn new moon in January occurs at precisely 11:11pm GMT. It has been
claimed that this new moon prepares us for the culmination of the 11:11
activation period to occur on 1/11/1992. The potency of this new moon is
enhanced not only by the solar eclipse, but also by a very close conjunction
of the Sun and Moon with Uranus during the eclipse. Uranus stimulates our
strivings for individual freedom, and can spark revolutionary and exciting
events. All Uranus aspects are also accentuated during this moon cycle.
--------------------
Moon's First Quarter : Saturday 4 January - Sunday 12 January
--------------------
<< Saturday 4 January >>
Coincident with the new moon today, we may experience unexpected shocks as
the Sun conjuncts Uranus at 14Capricorn. This aspect brings an interest in
shaking off old routines, and we can enjoy an exciting inner drive to be
different. It is a _great_ time to break stale habits! This aspect can
impart personal magnetism and eccentricity, and can also indicate practical
innovations at work. Don't get caught up struggling with boring stuff today..
break free and do something exciting! Since this aspect concides so closely
with the new moon position, this advice extends throughout this moon cycle.
<< Sunday 5 January >>
This should be an optimistic and happy day or two as the Sun at 14Capricorn
trines Jupiter retrograde at 14Virgo. With both in Earth signs our practical
side may get a boost which may be softened by the mutability of Jupiter in
Virgo. With Jupiter currently retrograde we may end up a bit over-extended,
but we should still take this aspect and run with it! This aspect is also
favorable for home renovations, yet with Jupiter retrograde we may be better
off completing home renovations which never quite got finished, instead of
initiating new renovation plans.
Later today we may be able to bring a new sense of structure and order to
broken relationships as Venus at 06Sagittarius sextiles Saturn at 06Aquarius.
This is an excellent time to sit down and arrive at a conscious understanding
of what each person expects from the other in a relationship. Venus sextile
Saturn favors tasks requiring thoroughness and attention to detail.
<< Tuesday 7 January >>
We can be creative in a tangible or practical way today as the Sun conjuncts
Neptune at 16Capricorn. We may have dreamy or idealistic business thoughts,
and may grasp new insights into business planning processes. There is a
potential for deception today, so keep your eyes and ears open. Be careful
not to overdo it with drugs or alcohol.
<< Thursday 9 January >>
Today Mars and Mercury both transit from Sagittarius to Capricorn as they
approach conjunction tomorrow. Mars resides in Capricorn until 17February,
with Mercury there for a briefer stay until 29January.
Mars in Capricorn stimulates practical application of our physical energies.
We are likely to be more responsible, dutiful, and serious, yet we may tend
to plod along in a sober way towards ambitious desires for career advancement
and financial security. We may feel as if we must be productive, yet we may
manipulate others to further their usefulness to us. Guard against becoming
over-pessimistic as it will deplete your energies.
With Mercury in Capricorn we enter a period where orderly and structured
thought processes are likely to be applied toward career development
interests. Much practical work can be accomplished during this transit.
We are likely to be more prepared and organized, with a strong tendency to
look for bargains to the point of being rather cheap. We may be faced with
restrictions on our free thinking, or with added work responsibilities. In
either case we are likely to be mentally challenged by ourselves or others.
<< Friday 10 January >>
Dynamic and forceful communications which may become antagonistic are
likely today as Mercury conjuncts Mars at 01Capricorn. With both planets
in Sagittarius, disagreements could become quite heated.
---------------------
Moon's Second Quarter : Sunday 12 January - Sunday 19 January
---------------------
<< Saturday 11 January >>
Today is identified as the pivotal culmination of the activation phase of
11:11 energies when a "door can be opened through the combined efforts of
many". While there are no major planetary aspects today, tomorrow's Jupiter
trine Uranus aspect is already active today, and interestingly the same aspect
occurred on 11November91 .. the first day of this 11:11 activation phase.
Also, with the recent additions of Mercury and Mars, there are now five
objects transiting through Capricorn (including the Sun, Uranus, Neptune, and
the Moon North Node) which could stimulate far-reaching structural changes.
Today there will be people located in New Zealand (Alpha point) and Egypt
(Omega point) as well as in local groups around the world to assist in the
proposed anchoring of this 11:11 energy onto the earth. The results of this
energy stabilization are claimed to last for many years. For more information
consult DEJAVU Note 1476.
<< Sunday 12 January >>
We needn't expect any serious problems as Venus at 14Sagittarius squares
Jupiter at 14Virgo, yet we may experience personal let-downs of an emotional
nature. This aspect may bring out cruder mannerisms lacking in social grace,
and we may procrastinate and waste time on unproductive pursuits.
We may be confronted with unexpected opportunities for expansion of our
earthly interests today as Jupiter at 14Virgo trines Uranus at 14Capricorn.
New practical or business opportunities may present themselves. We may
have a compulsion to experience a new freedom by doing something different
from our normal routine. We may strive to discover new metaphysical or
philosophical truths, or to incorporate a new activity into our lives.
We are very receptive to new ideas, but we must be careful not to get
involved with something solely because it is a novelty. With Jupiter
retrograde, it may be that we get another chance to accept an opportunity
which was actually presented to us earlier. A split-second decision may
be required to take advantage of a sudden change which opens up new
opportunities, and acting quickly may work strongly to our benefit!
<< Monday 13 January >>
We may experience new and reformative ideas and actions as the Sun at
22Capricorn sextiles Pluto at 22Scorpio. We are likely to experience intense
emotions and the strength of our convictions. This is a good day to make
productive changes of a rebuilding nature.

The full moon is exact today with the Moon at 29degrees of Cancer opposed
to the Sun at 29 degrees of Capricorn. This full moon may be very active
both at work and at home, and reconciling these competing demands on our
time and emotions is a primary challenge of this aspect.
Our mental outlook is looking up today with optimistic viewpoints as Mercury
at 14Capricorn trines Jupiter at 14Virgo. This aspect may be accompanied by
job opportunities for interesting and rewarding work, or promotions. At this
time communications are smooth and philosophically minded. We demonstrate a
good balance between attention to detail versus grasp of the comprehensive
view. Health may improve through relaxation or excercise. This aspect is
favorable for study, writing, teaching, interacting with the communications
media, or travel related to philosophy, religion, or higher education.
Exciting conversations which may be energized by a slip of the tongue or two
are highlighted today as Mercury conjuncts Uranus at 14Capricorn. Listen to
inspirational new twists on some old out-dated concepts, especially at work
or in regard to practical concerns and goals.
<< Monday 20 January >>
The Sun transitions from cardinal earth sign Capricorn to fixed air sign
Aquarius today for a stay until 19February. This signifies our entrance into
the fixed (stable) portion of the winter season. The Aquarian emphasis will
redirect our efforts towards the 11th house concerns of groups, social work,
and worthy causes. Aquarius is ruled by Uranus which contributes erratic,
ingenious, and revolutionary influences, with an emphasis on science, high
technology, or astrology. Aquarian energy can be perceptive, detached, and
impersonal, and can provide a confident intellectual base for leadership
expressions of its opposite/complementary sign Leo.
The Sun's entrance into Aquarius will bring a more detached and intellectual
attitude to people after the heavier expressions of Capricorn. Aquarian energy
invariably attempts to idealize the human condition, denying personal foibles
and being generally impersonal, yet pursuing social and humanitarian issues
and group goals. Aquarian energy may feel more compassion for idealistic
concerns of 'humanity' than for the concerns of actual individual human beings
who are inevitably not so ideal. The following chart highlights this sun-sign
transition.

<< Tuesday 21 January >>
Our practical thoughts may be more than a bit confused today as Mercury
conjuncts Neptune at 16Capricorn. However, penetrating insights may also
arise, but Neptune can be deceiving so don't believe everything you hear.
<< Saturday 25 January >>
The last vestige of wild Sagittarian fun will wear off today as Venus enters
practical and serious Capricorn for a stay until 18February. Venus is weighted
down by Capricorn's willingness to sacrifice current rewards for ambitions and
eventual potential successes. However, professional and business activites
can work harmoniously, and it is a good time to renovate at work. Older
more mature people may be regarded as more attractive during this transit.
We also share the possibility for constructive reformative ideas and
communications today as Mercury at 22Capricorn sextiles Pluto at 22Scorpio.
We may become preoccupied with deep or profound thoughts concerning
regeneration. As with all sextile aspects, some initiating effort on our
part may be required to activate these energies.
---------------------
Moon's Fourth Quarter : Sunday 26 January - Monday 3 February
---------------------
<< Monday 27 January >>
We may experience rapid progress on projects at work or at home today as
Mars at 13Capricorn trine Jupiter at 13Virgo. Our desires and ego concerns
may be pleasantly satisfied.
<< Wednesday 29 January >>
This evening Mercury transits from Capricorn to Aquarius for a stay until
16February. Mercury entering Aquarius indicates that our mental faculties
will surface from the Capricorn grind, with idealistic Aquarian (Uranian)
ideas emphasizing humanitarian and group goals. Our communications are more
conducive to the establishment of friendships, yet in a somewhat detached way.
Restrictions or increased responsibilities may weigh heavily upon us today
and may be sobering or depressing as the Sun conjuncts Saturn at 09Aquarius.
This may also represent a disciplinarian attitude towards using authority.
Arthritis or joint pain may also kick up and restrict some people's mobility.
Try to do something practical today, or reconsider long-range plans.
We may experience unexpected and quick events which can be quite explosive
today as Mars conjuncts Uranus at 15Capricorn. In Capricorn, this aspect can
indicate events of a serious nature with long-lasting structural effects.
This aspect may encourage physical activity of a dangerous or risky nature,
but we should use caution. There will be plenty of energy to take actions
which may be long over-due, especially where fear was a factor in delaying
actions. So, face your fears, do what must be done, but keep your guard up.
<< Saturday 1 February >>
We may experience a dissipation and diffusion of our energies today at Mars
conjuncts Neptune at 17Capricorn. Our focus can become clouded, yet from
behind the clouds some very insightful rays of understanding may creep in,
especially in regard to long range goals. We may be confused or deceived by
coworkers (especially males), so try not to be overly gullible this week.
The next new Moon occurs in Aquarius on 03February. Until then ...
harness and utilize the stimulating formative energy of this eclipse moon
cycle to establish a firm foundation for innovative development of tangible
inner and outer manifestations of your unique beauty.

Astrology Watch Highlights
==========================
The new moon on 3February in Aquarius (fixed air) provides us with
opportunities to re-establish our involvement with the creative goals of
groups and organizations, with friends, and with humanitarian interests.
Aquarius is ruled by Uranus (erratic change) and relates to the 11th house
concerns of organizations, personal goals and objectives, science, and a
detached mental outlook. As a fixed sign, Aquarian energies are stable;
and as an air sign the energy is expressed through ideas rather than
through actions (fire), emotions (water), or things (earth).
Using Aquarian influences individuals can enjoy more positive self-expression
through scientific, humanitarian, or occult groups. People also gain a more
universal perspective on life. The way to maximize growth during this new
moon cycle is to condense ideas and thoughts into viable plans for the future
which are designed for the benefit of all rather than just for ourselves.
--------------------
Moon's First Quarter : Monday 3 February - Tuesday 11 February
--------------------
<< Tuesday 4 February >>
We may become romantically inclined today as Venus at 12Capricorn trines
Jupiter at 12Virgo ... one of the most positive astrological aspects. While
Venus may feel quite constrained in Capricorn, this aspect could enable us
to break out from restrictive influences and construct a new foundation for
our affectional interests. Venus trine Jupiter is also excellent for a bit
of redecorating around the home or office. Artistic endeavors involving music
or art are likely to give you pleasure and turn out well due to the great
creative potential. This is a time when we may finally receive deserved
rewards which were previously earned, and when we are likely to demonstrate
more benevolence toward others.
On this day, those in authority may issue orders in especially cold and
insensitive terms as Mercury conjuncts Saturn at 10Aquarius, and as a result
of this harshness the abused may become a dangerous enemy. This aspect will
especially impact those involved with communication or transport services,
or with issues relating to restrictions on communications.
<< Thursday 6 February >>
Excitement and unpredictability may spruce up our love life today as Venus
conjuncts Uranus at 15Capricorn. Unexpected changes could rattle the
foundations our affections. We may become attracted to a new love interest,
and with Venus in Capricorn the new love may be someone older or someone met
through work.
<< Saturday 8 February >>
We may enjoy a creative and dreamily romantic time today as Venus conjuncts
Neptune at 17Capricorn. This feeling may be enhanced if we can extend beyond
the practicality of Capricorn to enjoy the aspect more fully. Use of drugs
or meditative states may also be highlighted.
There is a possibility for powerful actions to effectively reform or
regenerate things today as Mars at 23Capricorn sextiles Pluto at 23Scorpio.
Any reorganization changes made now may be irreversible. We may feel that
our goals are sublime and our actions are somehow preordained. There are
deep emotions at work here, and they may find expression in profound sexual
experiences. We may feel great strength both physically and emotionally,
although with the sextile aspect we may have to initiate some action on our
own volition in order to get the juices flowing.
---------------------
Moon's Second Quarter : Tuesday 11 February - Tuesday 18 February
---------------------
<< Wednesday 12 February >>
Today should be an intellectually talkative day as the Sun conjuncts Mercury
at 23Aquarius. Since 23Aquarius is a power-packed position today with the
two upcoming squares to Pluto, our discussions may become charged with extra
intensity. We are likely to entertain Aquarian humanitarian ideals, but we
must be careful to ground our goals on a practical foundation and to accept
the foibles of others.
Our manner of communicating to ourselves and others may undergo challenges
later today as Mercury at 23Aquarius squares Pluto at 23Scorpio. Challenges
may be severe enough to divert us to a new way of thinking about ourselves
and of communicating to others. Powerful and forceful communications may
be expressed, and with both planets in fixed signs neither side is likely
to budge. Our best bet is to accept any criticism from others with a calm
and listening ear, and then use the feedback to modify our attitudes and
behaviors. While this sounds good, it may not be so easy to accomplish today.
Bad feelings are apt to flare up in an open encounter today as the Sun at
23Aquarius squares Pluto at 23Scorpio. For this aspect the Sun can represent
powerful authority figures and Pluto can indicate the emotional eruption of
hidden grudges. This is a good day to keep our mouths shut so we don't
close any doors behind ourselves.
Our love life or affective nature may undergo a somewhat radical yet
contructive reform as Venus at 23Capricorn sextiles Pluto at 20Scorpio.
With Venus in Capricorn this may involve our ambitions or work surroundings,
and with Pluto in Scorpio the reforms may be intense or sensual. As with
all sextile aspects we must take the initiative or it may not happen.
<< Sunday 16 February >>
Today Mercury enters Pisces for a stay until it enters Aries on 3March.
When Mercury is in Pisces (ruled by Neptune) we can become more in touch
with the hidden sides of our personalities and our unconscious drives, yet
we are more likely to keep such insights to ourselves. We are likely to have
increased concern with spiritual development, and may feel like escaping into
reclusion to sort out our ideas. Keeping secrets from others will only
undermine their confidence in us once the hidden secrets are revealed.
<< Monday 17 February >>
Mars enters Aquarius today for a stay until 27March. Mars in Aquarius is
inventive and original, yet may be stubborn and cause difficulties with
authorities if we do not remain flexible. Working with groups involved in
idealistic and humanitarian causes is highlighted.
--------------------
Moon's Third Quarter : Tuesday 18 February - Tuesday 25 February
--------------------
<< Tuesday 18 February >>
The full moon is exact early this morning with the Sun at 29Aquarius and the
Moon at 29Leo. With the Sun so close to the cusp of Pisces, the aftermath of
this full moon could send us on a bit of an emotional rollercoaster. With
the fixed sign full moon our judgement may seem unassailable, but as the Sun
enters Pisces we may turn towards a more emotionally sensitive understanding.
Venus enters Aquarius today for a stay until 13March. Venus in Aquarius
stimulates a more detached and intellectual approach to love, and may be
accompanied by more idealistic affection for 'humanity' than for any
individual person. We may have difficulty empathizing with the emotional
problems of others since we may concern ourselves only with the big picture
and overlook significant personal issues. Group activities and humanitarian
causes will have more of an attraction for us now.
<< Wednesday 19 February >>
Today the Sun enters Pisces for a stay until 20March. The mutable Piscean
influences (ruled by Neptune) bring a more sensitive and emotional attitude
compared to the fixed mental expressions of Aquarius. People may become more
sensitive, creative, and romantic, and will strive for insights on deeper
emotional levels. The following chart highlights this sun-sign transition.
Aquarius Pisces
--------- --------
Duality Masculine Feminine
Element Air Water
Quality Fixed Mutable
Planet Uranus Neptune
Keyword 'I Know' 'I Believe'
Polarity Leo Virgo
Body Parts Shins, Ankles Feet

The conjunction of Mars (male) and Venus (female) influences at 1Aquarius
can create a sensual and sexy energy flow today and for some time after.
This aspect realigns our desire nature (Mars) with our value orientation
(Venus). This is a great time for entertainment of any kind, so go out
and have fun! ... or stay in and provide your own entertainment ;-}
<< Friday 21 February >>
We are apt to spend too much money on frivolous purchases or to overlook
important details today as Mercury at 10Pisces opposes Jupiter at 10Virgo.
We enjoy optimistic feelings, but we should be careful not to become too
cocky by relying only on our luck or we may be disappointed.
<< Monday 24 February >>
Pluto at 23Scorpio turns retrograde today until 30July. For a few days while
Pluto is essentially stationary but about to turn retrograde it can bring out
power struggles involving matters of business finances, debts, loans, and
other major changes which are often irreversible. Don't cling to things which
are falling by the wayside. Try not to react to the inevitable destruction of
some things by making decisions which preclude future options. If it doesn't
fit in your life don't blow it up ... just blow it out of your life.
---------------------
Moon's Fourth Quarter : Tuesday 25 February - Wednesday 4 March
---------------------
<< Tuesday 25 February >>
Our mind may be racing today as Mercury at 17Pisces sextiles Uranus at
17Capricorn. This aspect stimulates quick intuitive and inventive thinking,
and enhances original dramatic expression. Inventions or discoveries are
favored in electronics, science or engineering. Try some brainstorming of
innovative new career or work ideas.
Our perceptions will be keen as Mercury at 18Pisces sextiles Neptune at
18Capricorn. This aspect stimulates a fertile imagination, and we may become
more than a bit dreamy. Creative writing is especially favored.
<< Friday 28 February >>
We may be struck by some highly penetrating and profound ideas as Mercury at
23Pisces trines Pluto at 23Scorpio. This is an excellent day for inventions
and discoveries. It also favors long range planning and insightful thoughts
of future reforms or changes.
We should beware of dramatic overspending on purely ego-gratifying pursuits
today as the Sun at 10Pisces opposes Jupiter at 10Virgo. The effects of this
opposition are hard to resist (so maybe you can afford to pamper yourself just
a little bit ;-}) but if unchecked, this energy can result in a wasted day of
extravagance and exaggeration. If we don't overdo it then it should be fun!
Later tonight we may experience a 'wet blanket' atmosphere as Venus conjuncts
Saturn at 12Aquarius. This may not be much fun, but it can be effectively
utilized to reestablish relationships on a firmer foundations over the next
couple of days. We may experience restrictions, delays, or roadblocks. We
might feel a bit better if we spend some time redecorating.
<< Wednesday 3 March >>
Mercury enters Aries today for a stay until 3April when it retrogrades back
into Pisces. With Mercury transiting through Aries we are likely to react
with quick and aggressive mental responses. There is an abundance of mental
energy during this time, but we are more likely to act first and think later.
This is a perfect time to start a resolution to "Count to Ten before Flaming",
but it will be a very difficult period to hold to it.
The next new moon occurs in Pisces on 4March. Until then ... be prepared
for a challenging Plutonian day on 12February, and then open yourself up to
the flow of change as Mercury, Mars, Venus and the Sun all move into new
signs within a period of three days. This period is further energized by the
full moon, so allow for some temporary confusion and then gradually realign
yourself with the prevailing astrological influences.

==========================
The new moon on 4March in Pisces (mutable water) provides us with
opportunities to reestablish a close connection with our deepest and most
profound feelings. Pisces is ruled by Neptune (sublime delusion) and relates
to 12th house concerns of unconscious emotions, past experiences, intuitive
thoughts, behind the scenes actions, incarceration, and institutions.
As a mutable sign, Piscean energies are flexible; and as a water sign the
energy is expressed through emotions rather than through actions (fire),
things (earth), or thoughts (air). Using Piscean influences, we can enjoy
art, music, poetry and any project that requires sensitivity and creative,
imaginative thought. To maximize growth during this new moon cycle allow
your psychic and intuitive perceptions to manifest, share compassionate
feelings for others, and help behind the scenes with institutions or social
organizations.
--------------------
Moon's First Quarter : Wednesday 4 March - Wednesday 11 March
--------------------
<< Friday 6 March >>
We can express strong self-discipline, sober thinking, and impressive
reasoning power today as Mars conjuncts Saturn at 13Aquarius. We are more
able to concentrate on detailed work, and our actions are more disciplined
and controlled. This aspect may feel like driving with the brakes on.
<< Saturday 7 March >>
New discoveries and useful new inventions are highlighted today as the Sun
at 17Pisces sextiles Uranus at 17Capricorn. The Sun-Uranus sextile may help
to release some recent tensions, and encourage the redirection of our energies
into new areas.
<< Sunday 8 March >>
We may show a lack of consideration for the emotional feelings of others
today as Venus at 23Aquarius squares Pluto at 23Scorpio. Emotional attempts
(Venus) to reform others (Pluto) can lead to resentment. Additional problems
with the control of sexual urges are indicated, and may be compounded by
realizations of sexual incompatibilities. Avoid criminal elements and secret
activities, and place extra protection on valuable property. Past emotional
attachments may be shattered at this time. While this may not seem beneficial
at the time, Pluto enforces its lessons by removing excess baggage which is
not required in a particular area of your life in order to prepare for a
fresh rebirth in that area. Thus while this aspect may be rough, it provides
exceptional opportunities for forceful internal work on reforming our own
emotional attachments.
We may become mystical, meditative, and dreamy today as the Sun at 18Pisces
sextiles Neptune at 18Capricorn. This aspect can make us very sensitive to
the situations of others. Our intuitive and creative faculties are stimulated,
and we can enjoy and appreciate art and beauty. We gain insights into the
workings of the sub-conscious mind, providing valuable material for productive
spiritual development. Romance tends toward the exotic now, so use your
wildest imagination... ;-}
---------------------
Moon's Second Quarter : Wednesday 11 March - Wednesday 18 March
---------------------
<< Thursday 12 March >>
We have an opportunity to make progressive changes through increased will-
power and resourcefulness today as the Sun at 23Pisces trines Pluto at
23Scorpio. Clairvoyance is stimulated, and efforts at spiritual, mental
or physical self-improvement are favored. We may assume a professional
leadership role, and may benefit through insurance, inheritance, or taxes.
<< Friday 13 March >>
Venus transits from Aquarius to Pisces today for a stay until 7April.
Venus in Pisces is extremely sensitive, and demonstrates extraordinary
emotional sympathy and understanding, kindness towards those in need, and
appreciation of beauty. Due to the influence of Neptune, the ruler of Pisces,
we can understand others on a deeply spiritual and compassionate level.
This transit is associated with secret romances and behind-the-scenes
activity. We are attracted to places of retreat and romantic privacy.
<< Monday 16 March >>
Today we enter an internal and disruptive mental period as Mercury at
11Aries turns retrograde until 9April. When Mercury turns retrograde our
communication faculties slow down, we become reflective, and communications
in general falter. This does not have to be such a negative period so long
as we don't try to push..push..push everything to completion. Try to allow
extra time for unexpected delays, and be content to let things happen at
their own pace. You definitely don't want a tight schedule when Mercury is
retrograde, so try to accomplish as much as possible before this period.
--------------------
Moon's Third Quarter : Wednesday 18 March - Wednesday 25 March
--------------------
<< Wednesday 18 March >>
The full moon is exact this afternoon with the Moon at 28Virgo opposed to
the Sun at 28Pisces. We may become oversensitive to work issues, so take
a break if you need it, and try not to sweat the small stuff today.
We may be able to creatively transform our surroundings today as Mars
at 23Aquarius squares Pluto at 23Scorpio, yet power struggles and
disagreements may ensue. Energy levels are high and this aspect arouses
ambition, but be careful of arousing opposition in the people you confront.
Don't act ruthlessly or underhandedly toward others no matter how angry.
Avoid dangerous places and activities.
<< Thursday 19 March >>
Indulgence, exaggeration, and wasted time are likely today as Venus at
7Pisces opposes Jupiter at 7Virgo. It may be tempered a bit by the
practicality of Virgo, but we deserve a bit of indulgence today ;-}.
Since both planets are benefic, this opposition aspect is only slightly
troublesome, and may in fact be rather enjoyable. The opposition merely
indicates some potentially unchecked expansiveness or impulsiveness.
<< Friday 20 March >>
The Sun enters Aries today for a stay until 19April. This marks the Vernal
Equinox and the beginning of Spring! The Aries dynamism is reflected as the
initiation of new life: flowers budding, animals mating, and people doing
all those romantic things they are known for. Keep in mind that Aries is
a Cardinal (active) Fire sign, and try to keep your cool since there may
be some people acting more inflammatory than usual.
This is actually one of the most significant Sun-sign transitions since it
signifies the culmination of one natural astrological cycle (Pisces .. natural
12th house) and the initiation of a new cycle (Aries .. natural 1st house).
This Sun-sign transition is highlighted in the following table:

---------------------
Moon's Fourth Quarter : Wednesday 25 March - Wednesday 3 April
---------------------
<< Thursday 26 March >>
We may enjoy more effective self-expression today as the Sun conjuncts
Mercury at 6Aries. Our mental energy will be bursting and will allow us to
pay close attention to details. With Mercury retrograde our thoughts will
be more reflective and instrospective. A short trip may also be enjoyable,
even though unforeseen delays are likely.
<< Friday 27 March >>
Mars enters Pisces today for a stay until 5May. This is an excellent transit
for creating very harmonious love relationships, so you may be able to use
these tendencies to counteract any lingering aloofness from Mars in Aquarius.
Mars in Pisces is not as energetic as Mars in many (any?) other signs, but it
can be the most sensitive and and 'mushy' placement for romance (and we aren't
just saying that because both of our natal Mars' are in Pisces ;-}).
<< Saturday 28 March >>
Unexpected unusual and exciting opportunities may be waiting around the
corner for us today as Venus at 18Pisces sextiles Uranus at 18Capricorn.
We may have unique original ideas in creating art, music, or money. While
disruptions or unexpected events may occur with our love lives or friendships,
these events may encourage us to extend ourselves into broader and freer
fields of expression. Since we will crave a fun-loving social life, figure out
what brings fun and excitement into your life, and go out and do it today!
Our creative and romantic imagination is aroused as Venus at 19Pisces
sextiles Neptune at 19Capricorn. Our appreciation of beauty and our
sensitivity to the feelings of others are enhanced. We may need to extend
ourselves a bit to take advantage of these influences.
<< Wednesday 1 April >>
We may become overwhelmed with intense emotions as Venus at 23Pisces trines
Pluto at 23Scorpio. This aspect imparts a capability for the highest form of
love, and is accompanied by strong sexual drives. The power of love can have
a transforming effect on others. The placement of these planets in water
signs favors the more sensitive and steamy romantic encounters.
The next new Moon occurs in Aries on April 3rd. Until then ... attempt to
complete complex tasks before Mercury turns retrograde on 16March, and then
cook up some candlelight dinners for two when Venus and Mars enter Pisces.

Well the distance between the Earth and Uranus is very great and

Thank you Jamie. I believe I understand your position.
The Astrological significance of the farther planets, related to
their longer orbits, is supposed to be quite significant, since it
time-wise relates to longer-term trends. This particular alignment,
according to what I heard in the news story (it was a SLOW news
day) was supposed to occur only every 100 and some years.
In Astrology, theoretically, the distance from earth is not neccessarily
the determining factor in significance. I'm taking something akin to
the position of Astrology as a celestial clock of sorts when I say
this, but not intending to support that position myself.
> Neptune is the outermost planet in our solar system, I can't see their
> position in the sky doing much down here.
What happened to Pluto ? Of course my knowledge of Astronomy is
fairly 'Mickey Mouse,' so I will defer to dogged insistence in
Neptune as the outermost planet.
kind regards,

Have you ever heard of "the square of the distance"? It affects almost
all forms of radiated energy.
Neptune is the outermost planet. Pluto is the second outermost planet.

Regarding the Uranus-Neptune conjunction, zodiacally they get to
within one degree of each other this year. In 1993, they will
conjunct 3 times. Many astrologers attribute the upheaval and
drastic changes occurring world-wide in recent years to the
transit of these two planets through the sign Capricorn, which
represents our societal structures. This conjunction last
occurred well over 100 years ago. What is different at this
time is the transit of Pluto through its sign Scorpio, which is
adding an additional 'whammy' to this cycle.
So, Todd, I wouldn't specifically attribute the corporate firings, etc.
to the conjunction, as it has really not happened yet. However, the
major changes in the economy, the problems with the banking industry,
the fall of the real estate market, etc. are very connected to what
I wrote above. From my own perspective as an astrologer, I don't see
the economic situation really bouncing back. We are in for one heck
of an upheaval so hang on to your hats!

RE: the orbits of Neptune and Pluto
I may be mistaken, but I believe the Neptune and Pluto take turns
being the outermost planet. Pluto's orbit brings it inside and outside
the orbit of Neptune from time to time.

From my own feelings about the astrological cycle, I don't think
the economy is going to bounce back. Many astrologers feel that
the structures as we know them are going to collapse because they
are just not functioning for our good anymore. A new societal
structure needs to be made way for.....what that is is up to us
to create. I guess we'll just have to wait and see. It doesn't
hurt to be somewhat prepared, however.

Astrology Watch Highlights
==========================
The new moon on 3April in Aries (cardinal fire) provides us with an
opportunity to make a fresh start. Aries is the astrological new year,
and thus a time for new beginnings. Aries is ruled by Mars (desire and
aggression) and relates to 1st house concerns of ego, independence, new
ventures, self-awareness and discovery.
As a cardinal sign, Aries energies are dynamic; and as a fire sign, energy
is expressed through actions rather than through emotions (water), things
(earth), or thoughts (air). Using Aries influences, individuals can enjoy
competitive sports, new projects, and any activity that requires direct
assertiveness. We should guard against over-impulsiveness or being too
headstrong. To maximize growth during this new moon cycle initiate changes
now. This is a new chance for making New Year's resolutions, so start fresh,
develop new ideas, explore new options, and try new things.
--------------------
Moon's First Quarter : Friday 3 April - Friday 10 April
--------------------
<< Friday 3 April >>
Today Mercury begins a brief retrograde dip back into Pisces until it
reenters Aries on 9April. When Mercury is in Pisces (ruled by Neptune) we
can become more in touch with the hidden sides of our personalities and our
unconscious drives, yet we are more likely to keep such insights to ourselves.
We may have increased concern with spiritual development, and may feel like
escaping into reclusion to sort out our ideas. Keeping secrets from others
will only undermine their confidence in us once hidden secrets are revealed.
<< Saturday 4 April >>
We may become competetive and energetic to the point of mania today as
Mars at 06Pisces opposes Jupiter at 06Virgo. This could be fun but we must
guard against over-cockiness or over-extending ourselves, and we should use
extra caution while driving. The Pisces/Virgo polarity pits expansive
Jupiterian concepts for health and work against nebulous emotional feelings
and drained physical resources.
<< Sunday 5 April >>
We enjoy an orderly state of mind and self-discipline which is excellent
for energetic and constructive work as the Sun at 16Aries sextiles Saturn at
16Aquarius. This aspect confers constructive ambition, good organization,
and a mature attitude. This is a very favorable time for important
communications with those in power. We are likely to make steady progress
toward goals, and enjoy an enhanced sense of dignity. Some initiative and
patience may be required in order to reap the benefits of this aspect.
Daylight Savings Time begins today, so remember to turn your clocks _ahead_.
<< Monday 6 April >>
Communication within relationships is accentuated today as Mercury conjuncts
Venus at 29Pisces. In Pisces this aspect may promote some reconciliation for
emotional slights directed towards each other in the past, and with Mercury
retrograde we may have built up a sizable number of these. We may become much
more likely to comment on flaws and misunderstandings in our own thinking
processes instead of blaming others. This is typically a rather nice light
aspect. The retrograde character of Mercury may internalize these effects
but the influences should still retain their positive character.
<< Tuesday 7 April >>
The activity level in our relationships will increase markedly as Venus
enters Aries for a stay until 1May. During this transit we become more
impulsive and aggressive in our emotional expressions. Affections can also
become impulsive and unstable. The opposite/complementary energies of Libra
can be invaluable for providing balance and harmony in relationships during
this period of rapid-fire emotional activity.
We should prepare for and beware of sudden upsets and disruptive situations
as the Sun at 18Aries squares Uranus at 18Capricorn. We desire to break
down our everyday routines today, yet we may end up taking foolhardy risks
to do so. Be extra careful today since we tend to be more accident prone.
Learn to go with the flow of disruptions, and avoid arguing or you could
make things worse.
<< Wednesday 8 April >>
Our energies may dissipate quickly today as the Sun at 19Aries squares
Neptune at 19Capricorn. Our body may need to take the day off today.
Depletion of our physical reserves may simply be a symptom of more general
feelings of inadequacy and lack of confidence.
<< Thursday 9 April >>
As Mercury turns direct over the next few days, bolster your confidence and
begin communicating more freely and succinctly, since people will tend to
understand you more quickly.
---------------------
Moon's Second Quarter : Friday 10 April - Friday 17 April
---------------------
<< Tuesday 14 April >>
Mercury reenters Aries today for a stay until 11May. With Mercury in Aries
we are likely to react with quick and aggressive mental responses. There is
an abundance of mental energy during this time, but we are more likely to act
first and think later. This is a perfect time to start a resolution to "Count
to Ten before Flaming", but it will be a very difficult period to hold to it.
--------------------
Moon's Third Quarter : Friday 17 April - Friday 24 April
--------------------
<< Friday 17 April >>
The Moon is full today with the Moon at 27Libra opposing the Sun at 27Aries.
This cardinal Fire and Air full moon could lead to incidents of emotional
spontaneous combustion, so avoid being confrontational if you can. This may
not be easy since we may feel cornered into a combative position. Try to
utilize the reconciling abilities of Libra to smooth out disagreements.
<< Sunday 19 April >>
The Sun enters Taurus (fixed, earth) today for a stay until 20May, ushering
in the fixed portion of the Spring season. Plant or transplant your gardens
now to encourage steady growth, and sow new seeds for hardy development.
Aries has been rushing out in new directions, now Taurus sets our feet back
firmly on the ground. The following chart highlights this sun-sign transition.
Aries Taurus
---------- ----------
Duality Masculine Feminine
Element Fire Earth
Quality Cardinal Fixed
Keyword 'I Am' 'I Have'
Polarity Libra Scorpio
Body Parts Head Neck and Throat
Animals Ram Bull
<< Monday 20 April >>
Unexpected events may cause either disruption or inspiration today as Mars
at 18Pisces sextiles Uranus at 18Capricorn. Our desires may be surprisingly
fulfilled, and we could enjoy success with almost anything that we seriously
attempt. Watch out for the other guy while driving today.
Neptune at 19Capricorn turns retrograde today until 27September. This
transit accentuates our internal conflicts between dreams versus practicality.
We need to use and cultivate our imagination even in opposition to practical
issues, and we need to get our affairs in order. Many things which have been
kept concealed for a long time may be exposed as Neptune turns retrograde.
<< Tuesday 21 April >>
We may be able to bring a new sense of structure and order to broken
relationships as Venus at 17Aries sextiles Saturn at 17Aquarius. This is
an excellent time to sit down and arrive at a conscious understanding of what
each person expects from the other in a relationship. Venus sextile Saturn
favors tasks requiring thoroughness and attention to detail.
Our psychic energy is stimulated today as Mars at 19Pisces sextiles Neptune
at 19Capricorn. This aspect may spur changes which can lead to excitement,
and can heighten our intuition concerning our own goals and drives.
We may seek excitement in love relationships, even to the point of provoking
fights today, as Venus at 18Aries squares Uranus at 18Capricorn. Patience is
demanded, yet Venus in Aries must struggle to be patient with anything. Don't
flirt too much today or you may provoke a major confrontation with someone you
love. Try to keep a lid on impulsive spending since the excitement of buying
will pass long before the bills are paid ;-}.
Uranus turns retrograde today at 18Capricorn until 22September. During
this period our organization and self-discipline, though well-meaning, may
falter. There is a need to accept practical responsibilities. If they
are not dealt with effectively then sudden events may disrupt our life which
require change and adaptability.
<< Wednesday 22 April >>
Avoid indulgences and self-pity today as Venus at 19Aries squares Neptune at
19Capricorn. Beware of being swept into depression and emotional confusion.
Watch the road carefully, don't daydream while driving.
---------------------
Moon's Fourth Quarter : Friday 24 April - Saturday 2 May
---------------------
<< Friday 24 April >>
This should be an optimistic and happy day or two as the Sun at 05Taurus
trines Jupiter retrograde at 05Virgo. With both in Earth signs our practical
concerns may gain a much-appreciated measure of stability. With Jupiter
currently retrograde we may end up a bit over-extended, but we should still
take this aspect and run with it! This aspect is also favorable for home
renovations, yet with Jupiter retrograde we may be better off completing home
renovations which never quite got finished, instead of initiating new ones.
<< Saturday 25 April >>
We can mobilize powerful energy for rebuilding today as Mars at 22Pisces
trines Pluto at 22Scorpio. With both planets in water signs and Pluto in
Scorpio, intense emotional experiences or a profound sexual union may ensue.
<< Thursday 30 April >>
Jupiter at 04Virgo returns to direct motion ushering in a more expansive
and optimistic phase in the development of our philosophies and attitudes.
This aspect will take a week or so to get going, but will be conducive to the
initiation of self-help health programs, and may also expand our opportunities
at work or in other service-related activities.
<< Friday 1 May >>
Venus enters its own sign Taurus this afternoon for a stay until 25May.
This transit is a pleasant one, and the fixed sign influences can lend
stability to our love relationships. Artistry and love are viewed in a more
possesive and security-minded way, with a more practical and serious approach.
Practice, study, and earthy sensuality are favored.
The next new Moon occurs in Taurus on May 2nd. Until then ... take the last
remaining week of Mercury retrograde to clean up things which may be breaking
down left and right, and then next week begin to reposition yourself for the
germination of new and exciting opportunities which may blossom as Jupiter
turns direct at the end of this month.

Astrology Watch Highlights
==========================
The new moon on May 2nd at 12Taurus (fixed earth) provides an opportunity
to initiate new projects on a firm and stable foundation. Since Taurus is
ruled by Venus, this could mean a new love relationship or new stability
within an existing relationship.
As a fixed sign, Taurus energies are stable; and as an earth sign energy
is expressed through tangible things rather than through emotions (water),
actions (fire), or ideas (air). Using Taurean influences, individuals
can enjoy gardening, fixing up a house, practical domestic tasks, secure love
relationships, and issues relating to assets and possessions. We should
guard against becoming too closed-minded, too stubborn, or too materialistic.
To maximize growth during this new moon cycle we should till soil and sow
seeds in our physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual gardens, thus
initiating germination of earthy and practical beginnings which can yield
future hardy growth. The same applies for flower or vegetable gardens.
During this moon cycle the close degree positions of Uranus (17-18Capricorn),
Saturn (17-18Aquarius), and Neptune (18-19Capricorn) lead to three-at-a-time
clustering of aspects five separate times. The 30 degree separation of Saturn
from both Uranus and Neptune is called a semi-sextile aspect. While this is
not considered a 'major' aspect, it can still have significant influence due
to the resulting close proximity of quite differing aspects between planets.
This may lead to situations which undergo several changes of direction within
a short time-span, so try to stay flexible and avoid jumping to conclusions.
Uranus Saturn Neptune
------- ------- -------
Mercury May2-3 square sextile square
Sun May8-9 trine square trine
Venus May15-16 trine square trine
Mercury again May20-21 trine square trine
Mars May28-30 square sextile square
The aspect groupings listed above all proceed with an aspect to Uranus, then
Saturn, and finally Neptune. The effects of these planets may be played out
in just that order in many personal, national and international interactions.
This may appear as abrupt changes (Uranus) followed by effects on our level
of responsibility (Saturn) and culminating with decisions based upon subtle
perceptions (Neptune). While Pluto at 21Scorpio does not directly fall within
the orb of influence for these aspects, each of the three trine/square/trine
groups are followed within two days by an opposition to Pluto. This suggests
that deep reform (Pluto) may be an eventual outcome of these various events.
--------------------
Moon's First Quarter : Saturday 2 May - Saturday 9 May
--------------------
<< Saturday 2 May >>
Our minds may be stimulated with exciting new ideas as Mercury at 18Aries
squares Uranus at 18Capricorn. We may become bored or nervous, or have
difficulty concentrating on daily tasks. Established plans may not work out
as intended, so try to remain flexible.
Our capacity for organization is enhanced as Mercury at 18Aries sextiles
Saturn at 18Aquarius. This aspect encourages us to leave nothing to chance.
Carefully recording your dreams today may yield additional insights.
<< Sunday 3 May >>
Our practical thinking may become deluded as Mercury at 19Aries squares
Neptune at 19Capricorn. We may have difficulty arriving at any definitive
conclusions, yet this aspect can be good for more creative thinking.
<< Tuesday 5 May >>
Mars enters its own sign Aries today for a stay until 14June. Our desire
nature and physical energies can be very active and potent in Aries, but we
should try to restrain our desires from becoming so inflammatory that we
burn others. This can be an energetic, dynamic, and fast-moving period.
We may become romantically inclined today as Venus at 04Taurus trines
Jupiter at 04Virgo ... one of the most enjoyable astrological aspects. This
aspect could enable us to break out from restrictive influences and construct
a new foundation for our affectional interests. Venus trine Jupiter is also
excellent for a bit of redecorating around the home or office. Artistic
endeavors involving music or art are likely to give you pleasure and turn out
well due to the great creative potential. This is a time when we may finally
receive deserved rewards which were previously earned, and when we are likely
to demonstrate more benevolence toward others.
<< Friday 8 May >>
Intuitive, original, and eccentric actions are encouraged today as the Sun
at 18Taurus trines Uranus at 18Capricorn. We are likely to express a strong
desire for independence. Practical science and electronics are favored.
Our egos may be impeded or our energies may be worn down today as the Sun
at 18Taurus squares Saturn at 18Aquarius. Any issues we force are likely to
result in equal force opposition ... or possibly immovable opposition since
the square is in fixed signs. Try to remain low-key to avoid the negative
expressions of this aspect.
---------------------
Moon's Second Quarter : Saturday 9 May - Saturday 16 May
---------------------
<< Saturday 9 May >>
Psychic energy is heightened today as the Sun at 19Taurus trines Neptune
at 19Capricorn. There is great potential for creating tangible results using
our imagination. Insights may be practical, yet daydreaming is likely. This
aspect can create a powerful climate for positive action and long-term change.
<< Monday 11 May >>
Mercury enters Taurus today for a stay until 26May. During this time our
thinking will be practical and deliberate. A danger of this Mercury placement
is mental complacency, yet careful planning and patience are supported, and
real-estate transactions are favored. We are likely to engage in practical
down-to-earth communications, yet we may retain fixed mental attitudes. Our
attention turns towards what we value. We may experience a short period of
mental confusion as Mercury changes signs.
Remain flexible today as the Sun at 21Taurus opposes Pluto at 21Scorpio.
This aspect may indicate trouble with friends, lovers or groups due to
stubborness and not allowing others to have their say. Secrets may come
out due to the ego and honesty of the Sun opposing the secrecy and
keep-everything-under-wraps attitude of Pluto in Scorpio. If you make the
mistake of making someone really angry today (by revealing their secrets!?!),
then they may remember it for a very long time.
<< Wednesday 13 May >>
Our mental outlook is looking up today with optimistic viewpoints as Mercury
at 05Taurus trines Jupiter at 05Virgo. This aspect may be accompanied by
job opportunities for interesting and rewarding work, or promotions. At this
time communications are smooth and philosophically minded. We demonstrate a
good balance between attention to detail versus grasp of the comprehensive
view. Health may improve through relaxation or excercise. This aspect is
favorable for study, writing, teaching, interacting with the communications
media, or travel related to philosophy, religion, or higher education.
<< Friday 15 May >>
Exciting new love interests may arise today as Venus at 18Taurus trines
Uranus at 18Capricorn. Science or art may figure in the excitement.
--------------------
Moon's Third Quarter : Saturday 16 May - Sunday 24 May
--------------------
<< Saturday 16 May >>
The moon is full at noon today with the Moon at 26Scorpio opposing the
Sun at 26Taurus. This fixed-sign full moon could lead to stubborness
and entrenchment in fixed views without accepting input from others.
Keeping an open mind and avoiding painting yourself into a corner with fixed
ideas will pay off later today as the Moon enters free-thinking Sagittarius.
We may be able to bring a new sense of structure and order to broken
relationships as Venus at 18Taurus squares Saturn at 18Aquarius. This can
be an excellent time to sit down and arrive at a conscious understanding
of what each person expects from the other in a relationship. We may feel
a burden of responsibility which requires significant effort on our part.
Creative expression inspired by dreams is favored today as Venus at
19Taurus trines Neptune at 19Capricorn. Warm compassion and highly
idealistic love can combine to create a misty romantic atmosphere.
<< Monday 18 May >>
The challenge today is to transform romantic inspirations into a more
stable form as Venus at 21Taurus opposes Pluto at 21Scorpio. This opposition
can lead to excessive jealousy, controlling of others, or allowing others to
control you. The stubbornness inherent in this opposition in fixed signs
suggests wisdom in the avoidance of head-to-head conflict today.
<< Wednesday 20 May >>
The Sun transitions from Taurus (fixed earth) to Gemini (mutable air) today
for a stay until 20June, ushering in the mutable or changable portion of the
Spring season. The following chart highlights this sun-sign transition.
Taurus Gemini
---------- ----------
Duality Feminine Masculine
Element Earth Air
Quality Fixed Mutable
Keyword 'I Have' 'I Think'
Polarity Scorpio Sagittarius
Body Parts Neck,Throat Hands,Arms,Lungs
Animals Cattle Bright birds, butterflies
The Sun in Gemini indicates a more mental and somewhat scattered energy which
is expressed through the communication of ideas, compared to the stable and
grounded energy associated with the Sun in Taurus. Gemini is known for
superficiality, but also for intellect, wit, charm, and twins.
We are encouraged to put our concrete ideas into practice in new and exciting
ways today as Mercury at 18Taurus trines Uranus at 18Capricorn. New land or
real-estate dealings are favored. We gain an ability to adopt new and
inventive ways of thinking and to realign our thought patterns.
<< Thursday 21 May >>
Our mental ideas and thinking patterns may face obstructions which can lead
us into a depressive turn of mind today as Mercury at 18Taurus squares Saturn
at 18Aquarius. Travel arrangements may also face some snags, and we may
just feel generally down in the dumps.
This is an excellent time for practical creativity and our imaginative powers
as Mercury at 19Taurus trines Neptune at 19Capricorn. We may achieve harmony
through creative pursuits, or we may just enjoy daydreaming today.
<< Friday 22 May >>
Keep an open mind to revolutionary ideas today as Mercury at 21Taurus
opposes Pluto at 21Scorpio. Upsetting events may occur, possibly during
travel, which force a reform of our regular thought structures, but we may
have needed a bit of adjustment. We can delve to the roots of problems,
but attempts to persuade others could result in conflicts.
---------------------
Moon's Fourth Quarter : Sunday 24 May - Sunday 31 May
---------------------
<< Monday 25 May >>
We will feel a shift in our values and relationships as Venus enters Gemini
for a stay until 19June. During this transit we will tend to place more
value on ideas and intellectual pursuits. We are interested in establishing
friendships, but will stay somewhat on the surface instead of getting deeply
involved. Conversation can be witty, and generally interpersonal relations
are lighter and more enjoyable. Our values are changeable, and we are
flexible enough to change our viewpoints. This applies to our love life too
as Venus in Gemini can be associated with multiple or fickle love interests.
<< Tuesday 26 May >>
Mild personal problems arising from hypocrisy, extravagance, and inflated
self-importance are indicated today as the Sun at 05Gemini squares Jupiter
at 05Virgo. While the effects of this square are not severe, it can lead
to overexpansion, foolish optimism, and waste. We may feel a bit on the
slow side today, and just taking it easy may be the theme for today. We have
a tendency to adhere to dogmatic views which may cause problems in romantic,
social, or business situations. Gambling is unwise at this time, and charity
may be tinged with a desire for personal recognition and praise. The
'antidote' for most of these negative expressions is to maintain a more
objective and philosophical perspective.
Mercury enters its own sign Gemini today for a stay until 09June. With
Mercury in Gemini our thinking is active and versatile yet scattered, and
we may be very humorous and witty. Our thoughts may be flighty, making
concentration on a single goal difficult. Manual and verbal dexterity is
enhanced. Mercury in talkative, quick-thinking Gemini is great for learning
new things or adapting to new ways of thinking.
<< Wednesday 27 May >>
Communication within relationships is accentuated today as Mercury conjuncts
Venus at 02Gemini. With both planets in Gemini we may find it very difficult
to commit to long-term relationships at this time. However, very active
communications may allow us to recognize and comment on misunderstandings
in our own thinking processes which have affected our relationships.
Flirtations will be at an all-time high, so respond to a wink with a smile ;-}
but don't expect long term affectional commitments.
<< Thursday 28 May >>
Tonight Saturn at 18Aquarius turns retrograde until 15October. This can
cause inner doubts regarding one's sense of worth, and we may have some
difficulty expressing ourselves in groups due to introversion. However,
during this period of inner reconsolidation we can create a new foundation
for future personal growth.
Be careful of accidents with cars or sharp objects today as Mars at 17Aries
squares Uranus at 17Capricorn. Dull your knives and stay at home ;-}.
<< Friday 29 May >>
We can bolster optimistic attitudes towards long-range goals today as Mercury
at 05Gemini squares Jupiter at 05Virgo. This aspect can be favorable, and at
this time we may be able to grasp the whole picture and think in big, ideal,
abstract terms. We may be sloppy with details, however, and may be inclined
to overlook important details which conflict with larger plans.
Influences are favorable for initiating career or physical training regimens
today as Mars at 18Aries sextiles Saturn at 18Aquarius. Our work should
proceed smoothly if we are properly prepared.
<< Saturday 30 May >>
Our energies may dissipate into a haze today as Mars at 18Aries squares
Neptune at 18Capricorn. This can lead to laziness, procrastination, or
even religious fanaticism. Our desires can be deluded so don't push them.
We needn't expect any serious problems as Venus at 05Gemini squares Jupiter
at 05Virgo, yet we may experience personal let-downs of an emotional nature.
This aspect may bring out cruder mannerisms lacking in social grace, and we
may procrastinate and waste time on unproductive pursuits.
<< Sunday 31 May >>
There is apt to be alot of active and witty communications today as the Sun
conjuncts Mercury at 11Gemini. Interactions may be superficial, but should
be fun, light, charming, and flirtatious. The influences are excellent for
starting new projects, especially if they pertain to mass communications or
involve short trips. We may also enjoy a touch of self-confident optimism.
The next new Moon occurs in Gemini on May 31st. Until then ... establish
personal stability through Taurean influences which can serve as a solid base
for branching out into more flighty endeavors as Gemini influences begin to
predominate.

Astrology Watch Highlights
==========================
The new moon on 31May in Gemini (mutable air) provides an opportunity to
develop objectivity and to engage in copious communications. Gemini is ruled
by Mercury which enhances our spoken, written, and acted expressions, and can
stimulate travel. Many will feel like talking, and a few may even listen ;-}.
As a mutable sign, Gemini energies fluctuate; and as an air sign energy is
expressed through ideas or communications (air) rather than emotions (water),
actions (fire), or things (earth). Using Gemini influences we can enjoy
objectivity, flexibility, versatility and wit. Guard against becoming too
nervous and edgy, or too talkative when there is little of substance to say.
To maximize growth during this new moon cycle we should stress honesty, and
should encourage ourselves and others to talk about feelings and attitudes.
--------------------
Moon's First Quarter : Sunday 31 May - Sunday 7 June
--------------------
<< Thursday 4 June >>
Practical and responsible thought patterns are enhanced today as Mercury at
18Gemini trines Saturn at 18Aquarius. Our powers of concentration and self-
control are increased, but overtaxing our brains could lead to depression.
<< Saturday 6 June >>
Action-oriented communications and travel are favored today as Mercury at
23Gemini sextiles Mars at 23Aries. The desirous nature of Mars in Aries
combined with Gemini flirtatious communications may lead us to flirt much
too blatantly. This could result in defiant leaps into limited engagement
relationships without consideration of consequences. Leaping can be fun,
but be sure to check below the surface before you jump.
---------------------
Moon's Second Quarter : Sunday 7 June - Monday 15 June
---------------------
<< Monday 8 June >>
Gains may be achieved through hard and disciplined work today as the Sun at
18Gemini trines Saturn at 18Aquarius. This is a serious day for getting much
work accomplished and fulfilling obligations. Try to engage in practical
actions based upon careful planning.
<< Tuesday 9 June >>
We may find our communications miss the mark a bit (like a brief Mercury
retrograde period) as Mercury transits from Gemini to Cancer, where it will
stay until 27June. With Mercury in Cancer our thoughts will be strongly
affected by emotions. We are apt to have clouded communications which are
highly subjective, yet we can be very empathetic and nurturing.
We can gain inner strength with personal relationships today as Venus at
18Gemini trines Saturn at 18Aquarius. Friendships and love relationships
can gain mental stability on a more secure and honest communicative
foundation. Also, Gemini wit can lighten up the harmonious yet potentially
serious discussions.
<< Saturday 13 June >>
We can effectively initiate communications for expansive new projects as
Mercury at 07Cancer sextiles Jupiter at 07Virgo. Favored are Virgo projects
involving health issues or requiring attention to detail, and comfortable
Cancer activities which promote emotional security.
As the Sun conjuncts Venus at 22Gemini we are likely to feel good in a
party sort of way. Our heightened fashion sense can help us to look our
best, and with Gemini flirtations rampant, we may feel very desirable.
Enjoy it, but try to dig beneath superficial appearances to expose deeper
feelings and values. We may express more generosity and affection now,
and our relationships are likely to reciprocate.
<< Sunday 14 June >>
Mars enters Taurus today until 26July following its recent stay in Aries.
People may notice a slow-down of all activities since Mars in Aries was quite
a firecracker, but Mars in Taurus becomes much more stable and can plod
steadfastly and stubbornly towards longer range goals. This sign transition
exemplifies the two characters in the classic story of the tortoise (Mars in
Taurus) and the hare (Mars in Aries).
--------------------
Moon's Third Quarter : Monday 15 June - Tuesday 23 June
--------------------
<< Monday 15 June >>
The full moon occurs at 12:51AM this morning with the Moon at 24Sagittarius
opposed to the Sun at 24Gemini forming a partial lunar eclipse. These degree
positions may retain influence for several months. Few of us will sleep
through the night, as heightened mental agility spurs adventurous longings.
<< Thursday 18 June >>
We may become mentally stimulated handling conflicting interests of home
and work as Mercury at 17Cancer opposes Uranus at 17Capricorn. This can
be an erratic mental period, but do not oppose suggested changes outright.
Consider and adopt new ideas in the home or at work. We may wonder if we
are going a bit crazy today, but don't worry ... everybody is :-)
<< Friday 19 June >>
We may encounter disillusionment and hazy thinking as Mercury at 18Cancer
opposes Neptune at 18Capricorn. This can be great for creative endeavors
and imaginative work, but try not to daydream too much or your insights may
never see the light of our concensus reality :-}.
Emotional issues will come to the fore as Venus enters Cancer for a stay
until 13July. During this transit higher value is placed on relationships,
emotions, feminine issues, concerns with mother, caring, and nurturing.
We are apt to feel more affectionate, and to require affection more often.
We may become possessive or clinging in love relationships and friendships
(those crab's claws can grab and hold for a long time :-}). We can gain
enjoyment from buying things which make our home more cozy and comfortable.
<< Saturday 20 June >>
We may be struck by some highly penetrating and profound ideas as Mercury at
21Cancer trines Pluto at 21Scorpio. This is an excellent day for inventions
and discoveries. It also favors long range planning and insightful thoughts
of future reforms or changes.
The Sun transitions from Gemini to Cancer today, initiating the active
portion of the Summer season. This marks the the Summer Solstice, when the
Sun reaches its Northernmost apparent angle of declination, and shines for
the longest daylight period of the year (in the Northern Hemisphere). The
following chart highlights this sun-sign transition.

---------- ----------
Duality Masculine Feminine
Element Air Water
Quality Mutable Cardinal
Planet Mercury Moon
Keyword 'I Think' 'I Feel'

The Sun in Cancer indicates an active emotional and often moody energy which
is expressed through feelings, as compared to the mental and scattered energy
associated with the Sun in Gemini. Cancer is known for sensitivity, concern
over home and family, nurturing, dependence, and martyrdom.
---------------------
Moon's Fourth Quarter : Tuesday 23 June - Tuesday 31 June
---------------------
<< Friday 26 June >>
We can easily express our feelings to others today as Venus at 09Cancer
sextiles Mars at 09Taurus. Although Venus in Cancer can be very shy, this
aspect may lead to pleasant and romantic experiences.
We can enjoy benevolent and peaceful feelings today as Venus at 09Cancer
sextiles Jupiter at 09Virgo. This aspect imparts creative talent and generous
expression of affection. This may also be a good day to initiate financial
enterprises or real-estate transactions.
<< Saturday 27 June >>
We may have a few communications lapses as Mercury enters Leo for a stay
until 03September. During this Mercury transit we can develop a more
creative mental outlook and more dramatic expression of our ideas. Guard
against a tendency to be over-opinionated or arrogant.
We may experience steadfast progress on projects at work or at home today
as Mars at 09Taurus trines Jupiter at 09Virgo. Our desires and ego concerns
may be pleasantly satisfied.
The next new Moon occurs in Cancer on June 30th with a total solar eclipse.
Until then, open your mind to explore alternatives of all kinds which you
may have never considered before, but keep your options open until upcoming
Cancer influences can help to guide you towards emotionally fulfilling goals.

Astrology Watch Highlights
==========================
The new moon in Cancer occurs on 30June when the Sun, Moon and Earth are
lined up to create a total solar eclipse. This will strenuously energize
the Cancer influences to enhance any resolutions concerning home and family
issues, and encourage the fertility and germination of our ideas and goals.
The precise point of the eclipse (9Cancer) will remain energized for up to
six months, and projects conceived now could come to magnificent fruition.
Cancer is ruled by the Moon and accentuates sensitive feelings, mother, home
and family. Cancer tends to have a soft emotional under-belly, so while
nurturing of others is enhanced, we should also nurture ourselves and our own
emotional roots during this Cancer Moon cycle. With the career struggles
still affecting us from Capricorn planets, this self-nurturing is even more
valuable to settle our over-sensitivities now.
As a cardinal sign, Cancer energies are in motion; and as a water sign the
energy is expressed through emotions (water) rather that through ideas (air),
actions (fire), or things (earth). Using Cancer influences, we can improve
home and family conditions, and open up our inner feelings. We should guard
against becoming too moody or withdrawing into a protective crab-like shell.
To maximize growth during this new moon cycle we should emphasize family
matters, nurture loved ones (including ourselves!), and start simply enjoying
ourselves more as the Sun enters Leo (try cooking up a suntan ;-}).
--------------------
Moon's First Quarter : Tuesday 30 June - Monday 6 July
--------------------
<< Tuesday 30 June >>
The Solar Eclipse occurs today at 9Cancer! Conceive something wonderful!
<< Wednesday 1 July >>
Our ego drives will get energized as the Sun at 10Cancer sextiles Jupiter
at 10Virgo. With a bit of internal bolstering we can become brimming with
boisterous self-confidence and optimism. This aspect can also bring very
good luck, and things planned today should work out well. It is also a good
day for group participation activities or philosophical pursuits.
<< Thursday 2 July >>
Conflicts between our need for love versus our need for freedom are
highlighted today as Venus at 16Cancer opposes Uranus at 16Capricorn.
We may feel a need for intimacy and closeness, but also a fear of being
smothered. This aspect can be very confusing for love relationships, and
may lead to an abrupt ending of an existing relationship, or to an exciting
beginning of a new relationship (which is unfortunately not likely to last
long). The effects of this aspect may manifest as conflicts between home
life (Cancer) and career ambitions (Capricorn).
<< Friday 3 July >>
We are likely to be in a bit of a fog today with confusion and deception
over our relationships as Venus at 17Cancer opposes Neptune at 17Capricorn.
Try not to be too idealistic, or to become lost in daydreams or drugs.
Psychic faculties are heightened, but our impressions may be hazy or we may
fool ourselves by coloring our impressions with what we WANT to see. We may
thus be deceived by a friend or lover. We enjoy romance, but it may not be
real. We will probably know for sure tomorrow, so give it some time.
<< Sunday 5 July >>
Our emotional expressions will be intense and profound as Venus at 20Cancer
trines Pluto at 20Scorpio. Meetings with new people may feel pre-ordained,
and could result in intense and sexual relationships. New insights into the
workings behind the scenes of relationships should be carefully listened to.
---------------------
Moon's Second Quarter : Monday 6 July - Tuesday 14 July
---------------------
<< Monday 6 July >>
We may be motivated to provide physical energy and work to act on our ideas
as Mars at 16Taurus trines Uranus at 16Capricorn. We may experience impulsive
and explosive urges, so try to channel aggressiveness into constructive
pursuits. Mars trine Uranus indicates that we may be motivated to provide
physical energy and work to implement ideas. This aspect can indicate
innovative or erratic actions, or unforeseen breakthroughs in scientific
endeavors. Also, this aspect is exemplified by stubborn willpower, courage,
unique accomplishments, and nervous energies. This may be your day to
be a hero ;-}.
<< Tuesday 7 July >>
Be careful today and keep a watch out for accidents as the Sun at 16Cancer
opposes Uranus at 16Capricorn. This aspect can bring restlessness and
surprising events. Business activities (Capricorn) may undergo radical
revisions. A conflict between home life (Cancer) and career ambitions
(Capricorn) could shock us into action.
<< Wednesday 8 July >>
Our physical energies may be thwarted and pent up as Mars at 17Taurus
squares Saturn at 17Aquarius. Our energies may be impeded or fizzle out,
and any forced issues are likely to result in equal force opposition. We
may feel that we are racing at 80mph with our brakes on full ;-}. We should
avoid any activity which subjects us to a high possibility for broken bones.
Try to remain low-key to avoid the negative expressions of this aspect.
Our intuitive and imaginative faculties will be stimulated today as Mars at
17Taurus trines Neptune at 17Capricorn. At this time, we are more likely to
understand what has to be done and how to go about doing it. We can
experience harmony through the expression of deeper desires. This aspect is
excellent for energetic expression of creativity through performings arts,
dancing, or spiritual healing.
<< Thursday 9 July >>
Confusion and uncertainty accompanied by a fear of self-assertion may
overwhelm us as the Sun at 17Cancer opposes Neptune at 17Capricorn. Avoid
playing the victim or martyr today, but instead reflect on your self. This
aspect can yield powerful insights and artistic initiative, but be sure to
check back with reality to verify that the insights are feasible to pursue.
We may heartily enjoy a lazy daydream today ;-}
<< Saturday 11 July >>
Get off of your butt and stretch your muscles today as the Sun at 19Cancer
sextiles Mars at 19Taurus. This sextile is favorable for almost any action-
oriented or athletic activity. With the Sun in Cancer our activities may be
centered around our homes, and with Mars in Taurus these activities could be
practical or decorative. A good game of golf or tennis might fit the bill
too. We are likely to be in a self-assertive mood, and physical activity
can strengthen our constitution.
<< Sunday 12 July >>
We will find extra stamina and will-power today in our efforts to reform
ourselves or others as the Sun at 20Cancer trines Pluto at 20Scorpio.
Much positive restructuring energy is activated by this aspect, which may
also be expressed as intense or profound sexuality. This aspect can lead
to reforms of our use of power, but it may require some closely held yet
unnecessary aspects of ourselves to fall away.
We may be restless and have a strong desire for heavy-handed reform as
Mars at 20Taurus opposes Pluto at 20Scorpio. We may adopt aggressive and
autocratic attitudes which lead to conflicts and power struggles over
professional affairs, insurance, sexual jealosy, taxes or alimony. There
is also an increased potential for acute injury, so drive carefully.
Some form of regeneration is called for in sexual, personal, or business
relationships. As a positive expression, this aspect may provide vast
resources of energy for constructive accomplishments when cooperating with
others, provided that the energy is controlled. Be especially careful not
to coerce others, and not to be coerced by them.
<< Monday 13 July >>
Venus enters Leo today for a stay until 7August. This transit confers
loyalty and generosity to lovers and friends, love of children, being in
love with love, and a passionate nature. We may become over-dramatic or
egotistical, may overspend on luxury items, and may become overly concerned
with our own personal beauty (can you say v-a-n-i-t-y? ;-}). However, people
will be generally friendly and out for a good time. This is a great party
transit, and people will be ready to party, so throw a decadent party and
invite everyone you know!!
<< Tuesday 14 July >>
The moon is full today with the Moon at 22Capricorn opposite the Sun
at 22Cancer. Career or work concerns may lead to over-sensitivity or
insecurity. This may be an emotional response to recent issues which
arose when the Sun opposed Uranus and Neptune. If we can restrain from
responding and try to establish our emotional stability we may deal with
problems more effectively when the Moon enters Aquarius tomorrow.
--------------------
Moon's Third Quarter : Tuesday 14 July - Wednesday 22 July
--------------------
<< Wednesday 15 July >>
Some difficult communications and a depressing mental outlook could be in
store for us as Mercury at 15Leo opposes Saturn at 15Aquarius. Plans which
are set up now may not be stable or well-grounded. Bolster your hopes today!
This aspect will occur again on 25July after Mercury turns retrograde.
<< Sunday 19 July >>
Mercury turns retrograde at 17Leo today until 10August. This particular
retrograde period is relatively brief (3+ weeks) but it will 'leak' out for
several days on both ends. When Mercury is retrograde our communication
faculties slow down, we become more reflective, and communications in general
falter. Try to allow extra time, and be content to let things happen at their
own pace. Don't make your schedule too tight for this period, as there will
likely be unforeseen delays. Be careful what you say or write due to
inevitable misinterpretations. Do not expect anyone to understand your idioms
or inuendos. Due to miscommunications on all levels, this is _not_ a good
time to sign contracts. This _is_ a good time for reassessing old ideas but
not so good for initiating new ideas since you may not be accurately grasping
the context. Reconsider any ideas which seem inspired.
<< Friday 19 June >>
The Sun transitions from Cancer to Leo this morning, where it will stay
until 22August. This is the Sun's natural sign (Sun rules Leo) and is thus
the highlight of the year for the expression of ego and personality (Sun).
This can lead to a regal/royal and potentially arrogant attitude, yet it does
not hold quite so much egotism as it sounds since Leo also imparts great
generosity, playfulness, and affection towards children. The following
chart highlights this sun-sign transition.

---------------------
Moon's Fourth Quarter : Wednesday 22 July - Wednesday 29 July
---------------------
<< Saturday 25 July >>
We may reexperience a mental downturn as Mercury at 16Leo opposes Saturn
at 16Aquarius. This same aspect occurred around 15July, and today's issues
may be similar those which were active at that time. With Mercury retrograde
now we may be able to delve introspectively into our underlying mental
attitudes, which may help us overcome a depressing mental outlook.
<< Sunday 26 July >>
Communication within relationships is accentuated today as Mercury conjuncts
Venus at 15Leo. In Leo this aspect may promote generosity and fun within our
relationships, although we should avoid becoming too arrogant or fixed in our
views. With Mercury retrograde we may have a bit of difficulty expressing
ourselves, so give yourself and others a few extra chances to explain things.
Mars enters Gemini today for a stay until 12September. During this transit
the tempo of our lives may pick up considerably and our energy level will
increase. There may be possible conflicts with neighbors or relatives, yet
there is a great potential for cooperative energies to accomplish a great deal
during this time. People may identify too strongly with their beliefs, and
simple disagreement may be interpretted as a challenge to personal beliefs.
People may tend to be argumentative, so be careful not to get involved in
pointless arguments. This can be a good time to "sell" new ideas, so long as
you don't attack others with them, and it is an excellent time for vigorous
and diligent mental work.
Our relationships may be fraught with struggles today as Venus at 16Leo
opposes Saturn at 16Aquarius. Our sense of humanitarian duty may be in
conflict with our desire to relate to others in a playful way, so try to
keep your responsibilities in perspective without letting them squelch
your fun-loving antics. Through relationships we may be forced to face
aspects of ourselves that we would rather not acknowledge, and we should
avoid becoming engulfed in self-pity.
The next new Moon occurs in Leo on July 29th. Until then, nurture yourself
and your family members, reconcile some potentially conflicting demands of
work, and prepare yourself for some hot and fun times coming when the Sun
enters it's own sign Leo.

Astrology Watch Highlights
==========================
The new moon on 29July in Leo (fixed, fire) provides an opportunity
to really have some summer fun. This sign relates to the 5th house (Leo)
activities of partying, appreciation of pleasures, affection towards
children, and also imparts a generous attitude. Leo is ruled by the Sun
so there is involvement of the personality/ego with potential for excessive
vanity. Sun-worshippers are in their element and male energies are
emphasized. Leo is fun-loving and playful, but be careful not to tease
the lion or it may turn against you.
As a fixed sign, Leo energies are stable; and as a fire sign the energy is
expressed through actions (fire) rather that through ideas (air), emotions
(water), or things (earth). As a Fixed sign, Leo energies are stable yet may
be stubborn. Using Leo influences, we can enjoy vacations and recreational
activities, play with our children, and express ourselves with ease and pride.
You should guard against too much drama, self-importance, exaggeration or
boasting. To maximize growth during this moon cycle enjoy love affairs,
play, have fun, and shine, shine, shine ;-}.
At the start of this moon cycle Mercury, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto
are all retrograde indicating a continuing period of reevaluation and inter-
nalization. So take care of any lingering issues now to prepare yourself to
take advantage of new opportunities which may arise sooner than you think as
Pluto and Mercury both turn direct during this moon cycle.
--------------------
Moon's First Quarter : Wednesday 29 July - Wednesday 5 August
--------------------
<< Thursday 30 July >>
Relationships may be upset by fixed attitudes and stubborn behavior today
as Venus at 20Leo squares Pluto at 20Scorpio. Past secrets may surface.
Pride may have to be swallowed in order to maintain key relationships.
The first of the retrograde outer planets gradually shifts its emphasis from
the internalized energies to an externalized expression today as Pluto turns
from retrograde to direct motion at 20Scorpio. Far-reaching Pluto reforms
which have been in the works for some time may take shape soon, and may shake
us up if we are not prepared to leave unnecessary attachments behind.
<< Friday 31 July >>
We may be confronted with unexpected opportunities for expansion of our
earthly interests today as Jupiter at 15Virgo trines Uranus at 15Capricorn.
New practical or business opportunities may present themselves. We may
have a compulsion to experience a new freedom by doing something different
from our normal routine. We may strive to discover new metaphysical or
philosophical truths, or to incorporate a new activity into our lives.
We are very receptive to new ideas, but we must be careful not to get
involved with something solely because it is a novelty. A split-second
decision may be required to take advantage of a sudden change which can open
up new opportunities, and acting quickly may work strongly to our benefit!
<< Saturday 2 August >>
There is apt to be a lot of dynamic talking about how great we are as the
Sun conjuncts Mercury at 11Leo. The influences are excellent for leisure,
drama, luxury, or passion. With Mercury retrograde our thinking may not be
too clear and we may be confronted with delays, but our dynamism and
leadership qualities may shine through.
---------------------
Moon's Second Quarter : Wednesday 5 August - Thursday 13 August
---------------------
<< Friday 7 August >>
Venus enters Virgo today for a stay until 31August. During this transit we
can become very discriminating, especially in the analysis of love feelings
and of partner's shortfalls. Try not to over-analyze romance or to constrain
relationships to follow prescribed guidelines. Avoid becoming nit-picky.
Action-oriented communications and travel are favored today as Mercury at
08Leo sextiles Mars at 08Gemini. The regal attitude of Mercury in Leo
combined with Gemini desirous flirtations may lead us to flirt much too
blatantly. With Mercury still retrograde we are not likely to think things
through very much, and we could leap into a short-term relationship without
considering the consequences.
A more somber atmosphere may predominate tonight as the Sun at 15Leo is
lined up in opposition to Saturn at 15Aquarius. Sun oppose Saturn can make
us conscious of limitations imposed by circumstance and responsibility.
It may be accompanied by a low energy level and an inability to communicate.
Plans which are set up now may not be well-grounded. We must balance our
needs against our obligations, and avoid wallowing in loneliness or despair.
<< Sunday 9 August >>
Our spiritual side may receive a major boost over the course of several days
as Jupiter at 17Virgo trines Neptune at 17Capricorn. Meditation is highly
favored, and religious or mystical teachings may yield penetrating insights.
Spiritual truths and secrets of life will fascinate us, and we may receive
significant spiritual guidance from a person or group. While this would
definitely be mutually beneficial, avoid over-idealizing this person or group.
Creative musical or artistic ideas and talents may arise, and should be
pursued. Boating and other water sports may be very enjoyable. We are likely
to be charitable and compassionate for those who are suffering. On the other
hand, we may become dreamy, lazy, or partake in drugs or gambling. While this
can be a _very_ beneficial long-term aspect, we should avoid being fooled into
thinking everything is fine when something may not be quite as it seems.
<< Wednesday 12 August >>
Power clashes with those in authority may arise today as the Sun at 20Leo
squares Pluto at 20Scorpio. With the Sun in Leo it is likely that a matter
of pride or principle could initiate a power clash. Watch your temper and
hold your sharp tongue today.
Mercury turns direct today at 6Leo, so bolster your confidence and begin
communicating more freely and succinctly, since people will tend to understand
you more clearly from now on. You may be able to keep up with a tighter
schedule now too.
--------------------
Moon's Third Quarter : Thursday 13 August - Friday 21 August
--------------------
<< Monday 17 August >>
We are more likely to act in a responsible and self-controlled manner as
Mars at 14Gemini trines Saturn at 14Aquarius. This is an excellent time for
solid mental efforts towards short or long term goals. Our energies can be
effectively focussed and disciplined along with enhanced stamina to complete
difficult or boring tasks.
<< Tuesday 18 August >>
Exciting new love interests may arise today as Venus at 14Virgo trines
Uranus at 14Capricorn. Science or art may figure in the excitement.
Relationships stemming from these encounters are likely to be mature and
responsible with a touch of prudishness, yet they can be embellished by
an earthy physical attraction.
<< Thursday 20 August >>
We may be prone to either sensitive (Venus) or sharp (Mars) overreactions
today as Venus at 16Virgo squares Mars at 16Gemini. We may oscillate
irregularly between mental aggression and conciliatory self-pity, and may
be prone to get involved in fights or, more aptly, spats. Mellow out ...
We enjoy gentle, inspirational, and creative influences today as Venus at
16Virgo trines Neptune at 16Capricorn. We are sensitive and kind, and it is
easy to arouse sympathy in others. Spiritual interest is heightened, along
with appreciation of beauty. Romance, boat cruises, and art are favored.
---------------------
Moon's Fourth Quarter : Friday 21 August - Thursday 27 August
---------------------
<< Saturday 22 August >>
The Sun transitions from Leo to Virgo today for a stay until 22September.
This will signify the entrance into the adaptable (mutable) portion of the
summer season, and the Virgo emphasis will redirect our efforts towards
service, work, and health issues. With the Sun in Virgo people are likely
to be meticulous (especially about cleanliness), practical, and analytical
with a tendency towards nit-picking criticality, yet this is an excellent
time to pursue tasks which require extreme attention to detail. The
following chart highlights this sun-sign transition.
Leo Virgo
---------- ----------
Duality Masculine Feminine
Element Fire Earth
Quality Fixed Mutable
Planet Sun Mercury
Keyword 'I Will' 'I Analyze'
Polarity Aquarius Pisces
Body Parts Back,heart Nerves,intestines
Animals Felines Domestic pets
One of the most favorable astrological aspects also occurs today as Venus
conjuncts Jupiter at 19Virgo. This aspect can confer optimism, benevolence,
wit, and interpersonal grace. Our outlook on relationships may take a wild
swing for the better, and we should enjoy an expansive emotional burst.
<< Sunday 23 August >>
Our love life or affective nature may undergo a somewhat radical yet
contructive reform as Venus at 20Virgo sextiles Pluto at 20Scorpio. With
Venus in Virgo this may involve our health or work surroundings, and with
Pluto in Scorpio the reforms may be intense and sensual. As with all sextile
aspects we must take the initiative or it may not happen.
<< Monday 24 August >>
Some difficult communications and a depressing mental outlook could be in
store for us as Mercury at 14Leo opposes Saturn at 14Aquarius. We may feel
verbally stifled, and short business trips may be burdensome.
<< Wednesday 26 August >>
Make some creative changes in your life as Jupiter at 20Virgo sextiles Pluto
at 20Scorpio. This aspect lasts several days, and symbolizes regeneration
into a higher plane of existence. Take advantage of spontaneous changes
instead of resisting them since some transformation is inevitable. These
changes may be expressed in various ways, and may arise through meditation
or direct experience of spiritual truths. Sharing insights with friends
or groups is beneficial. This is an excellent time to come into favor with
those in power. We may come through this period transformed in some lasting
way, or we may provide valuable aid for the transformation of others.
We may be confronted with challenges today as Mars at 20Gemini squares
Jupiter at 20Virgo. These challenges are likely to be a result of the
overexpansion of our desires, or expansion into areas which are not
productive. We may move ahead too fast and thereby miss some important
things which could lead us into accidents. The overexpansion could also be
of the ego, leading to an over-competitive attitude. Be cautious, and try
to relax and let it ride instead of pushing it to the limit.
The next new moon occurs in Virgo on August 27th. Until then, let loose
and enjoy the hot Leo Sun ... you can easily take care of any lingering
details later when Virgo influences take over.

Astrology Watch Highlights
==========================
The new moon on 27August in Virgo (mutable,earth) provides an opportunity
to clean up any messes which have been piling up. Virgo relates to the 6th
house activities of work, service, health/hygiene, and attention to detail.
Virgo is ruled by Mercury, which influences our thinking patterns. Virgo is
an earth sign, however, so the thoughts are applied in a logical and organized
manner. As a mutable sign Virgo influences are adaptable, but can become
very critical and nit-picky, and tend to classify things as black or white.
With six objects in earth signs at the new moon (Sun, Moon, Venus, Jupiter,
Uranus, and Neptune) a great deal of practical work can be accomplished
during this Virgo moon cycle. Don't forget to have some fun too.
--------------------
Moon's First Quarter : Thursday 27 August - Thursday 3 September
--------------------
<< Friday 28 August >>
Our manner of communicating to ourselves and others may undergo challenges
later today as Mercury at 20Leo squares Pluto at 20Scorpio. These challenges
may be severe enough to divert us to a new way of thinking about ourselves
and of communicating to others. Powerful and forceful communications may
be expressed, and with both planets in fixed signs neither side is likely
to budge. Our best bet is to accept any criticism from others with a calm
and listening ear, and then use the feedback to modify our attitudes and
behaviors. While this sounds good, it may not be so easy to accomplish today.
<< Saturday 29 August >>
Action-oriented communications and travel are favored today as Mercury at
22Leo sextiles Mars at 22Gemini. The regal attitudes of Mercury in Leo may
combine with Gemini desirous flirtations and lead us to flirt too blatantly.
<< Monday 31 August >>
Venus enters Libra today for a stay until 24September. Relationships,
fairness, sensitivity, and appreciation of beauty gain importance within our
personal sense of values. Since Venus rules Libra, a natural affinity is
expressed during this transit, and air sign influences promote many new ideas.
---------------------
Moon's Second Quarter : Thursday 3 September - Friday 11 September
---------------------
<< Thursday 3 September >>
Mercury enters Virgo today for a brief stay until 19September. With Mercury
in Virgo our thoughts turn to details and practical concerns. Our mental
resources are well developed since Mercury rules Virgo. Projects can be well
planned with thorough attention to all phases, yet a rather conservative
approach will probably be adopted.
<< Sunday 6 September >>
Forceful changes may be enacted purposefully or may come by surprise today
as the Sun at 14Virgo trines Uranus at 14Capricorn. You may feel restricted
at work and want to break free. Health break-throughs are also possible.
<< Tuesday 8 September >>
Psychic energy is heightened as the Sun at 16Virgo trines Neptune at
16Capricorn. There is increased potential for creating tangible results from
imagination. Daydreaming is likely, and insights may be of practical value.
<< Thursday 10 September >>
We may feel bright and alert today as Mercury at 14Virgo trines Uranus at
14Capricorn. We can generate ambitious new ideas relying upon conservative
ground-work, and some of our inventions or discoveries may be surprising or
even startling. Science and health discoveries are emphasized.
We can gain inner strength with personal relationships today as Venus at
13Libra trines Saturn at 13Aquarius. Friendships and love relationships can
gain mental stability on a more secure and honest communicative foundation.
We may feel more willing and able to make significant interpersonal
commitments today. Libran influences can impart harmony and balance to
otherwise serious discussions.
--------------------
Moon's Third Quarter : Friday 11 September - Saturday 19 September
--------------------
<< Friday 11 September >>
We may be elevated by a dose of sublime inspiration today as Mercury at
16Virgo trines Neptune at 16Capricorn. Our ideas may turn toward art,
dreams, or spitiual pursuits. Thoughts are sensitive and flow smoothly.
Artists may find inspiration, but those working with facts and figures may
find them a bit muddled.
Interpersonal challenges may result today as Venus at 14Libra squares Uranus
at 14Capricorn. Try to avoid needlessly disrupting or startling friends or
partners over career or business restrictions. Unexpected events could occur
in relationships.
The full moon will further heighten activities today with the Moon at
19Pisces in opposition to the Sun at 19Virgo. With the Moon in Pisces we
may become emotionally oversensitive with a tendency towards martyrdom,
yet with the full moon in mutable signs there may be some way out of our
predicaments if we consider more alternatives.
<< Saturday 12 September >>
Our energies are likely to be directed more towards our home and family
as Mars enters Cancer for a _long_ stay until 28Apr93 (Mars will perform
a complete retrograde cycle within Cancer). Mars is not so energetic
in Cancer, and we should try to avoid actions which stem from emotional
over-sensitivity. Comfort may become a primary goal now, so allow time
to relax, but try to avoid becoming a couch potato ;-}
<< Sunday 13 September >>
We get a potential energizer today as the Sun at 20Virgo sextiles Pluto at
20Scorpio. While this can impart relentless energy, it may be as a result of
circumstances which force us to exert our maximal efforts. Tasks which call
for nominal energy expenditures with little return may be disposed of in
deference to major efforts requiring destruction and regeneration.
Avoid indulgences and self-pity today as Venus at 16Libra squares Neptune at
16Capricorn. Beware of being swept into depression and emotional confusion.
Watch the road carefully and don't daydream while driving.
Creative ideas could lead to reforms of long-term plans as Mercury at 20Virgo
sextiles Pluto at 20Scorpio. Travel itineraries are subject to revision.
<< Monday 14 September >>
There is apt to be alot of active practical work or health related
communications today as the Sun conjuncts Mercury at 21Virgo. The influences
are excellent for starting new projects, especially if they pertain to health
issues or work methods. We may also enjoy a touch of self-confident optimism.
<< Wednesday 16 September >>
We can enjoy a burst of practical and highly detailed ideas and plans as
Mercury conjuncts Jupiter at 25Virgo. Thoughts may be directed towards
expansive new work methods or new health regimes.
<< Thursday 17 September >>
Expansive and benevolent influences will be activated as the Sun conjuncts
Jupiter at 25Virgo. This encourages optimism and philosophical concern for
issues beyond oneself. Feelings of peace and harmony prevail, and it's an
excellent time to enjoy a short trip. New ideas which arose yesterday
may be put into action today.
---------------------
Moon's Fourth Quarter : Saturday 19 September - Saturday 26 September
---------------------
<< Saturday 19 September >>
Mercury enters Libra today for a stay until 7October. Mercury in Libra
imparts an ability to reason about issues and to see both sides clearly.
For just this reason we are apt to be indecisive or non-committal. Our
thoughts turn towards keeping the peace, and attempting to balance biased
ideas with compassionate thoughts.
<< Tuesday 22 September >>
Touchy challenges in communications and small disagreements in relationships
may erupt into arguments as Mercury at 05Libra squares Mars at 05Cnacer.
Sensitive and home-focused Mars in Cancer may encounter conflicts when
confronted with the dynamic give-and-take of Mercury in Libra.
Today the Sun will transition from Virgo to Libra until 22October. This
signifies the entrance into the active (cardinal) initiating portion of the
fall season. This day is also called the Autumnal Equinox, and is a day
when daytime hours equal nighttime hours (12) all over the world. The Libra
emphasis will redirect our energies towards relationships. Libra is the
natural 7th house of complementary partners, and is ruled by Venus. Libra
is associated with balance in all forms. This is not a static balancing act,
however, but a dynamic oscillation which strives for a balanced equilibrium.
Libra can be very indecisive since both sides of an issue are fairly weighed.
Libra energy is very communicative, but may relinquish too much of one's self
in order to please someone else. This is an excellent time to work on your
relationships. The following chart highlights this sun-sign transition.

Duality Feminine Masculine
Element Earth Air
Quality Mutable Cardinal
Planet Mercury Venus
Keyword 'I Analyze' 'I Balance'
Polarity Pisces Aries
Body Parts Nerves,guts lower back, buttucks

We end a period of internal assimilation of the forces of change as Uranus
turns to direct motion at 14Capricorn. Changes which may have been in the
works for some time may begin to demonstrate tangible external effects now.
<< Thursday 24 September >>
We may face a brief period of confusion about love interests and friendships
as Venus transitions from Libra to Scorpio for a stay until 19October. We
will be changing from a congenial and communicative concern with relationships
(Libra) to a deep and intense emotional concern with sex, death and rebirth
(Scorpio). Venus in Scorpio provides an opportunity to stabilize relationships
through deep emotional contact. Venus in Scorpio can be relentless and
unyielding, so this can be a very difficult time to break off a relationship.
Psychic sensitivities are heightened, and can be effectively utilized for
self-improvement. Strong feelings of destiny and fate may be associated with
relationships at this time. Infatuation with sex and death can be transcended
through considerations of the regenerative aspects of the death/rebirth cycle.
The old must die to make way for the new.
<< Friday 25 September >>
We should be bolstered by practical and stable thinking patterns as Mercury
12Libra trines Saturn at 12Aquarius. Our ideas may tend to be conservative
and goal-oriented, yet steady progress is achievable. This aspect imparts a
keen sense of what is practical and workable and what is not.
The next new moon is in Libra on 26 September. Until then ... use your
enhanced efficiency to clean up lingering issues, and if you spend a bit of
extra effort on your relationships it should pay back handsomely.

Hi Carole,
Thanks for the response. I understand what you are saying, but I also
understand that the plane of the ecliptic that the planets pass through
includes all the constellations in the zodiac, which in this case (Capricorn
and Sagittarius) are the same. I guess I am missing something. Could you
elaborate please?
Bright blessings to you!

Now that you've piqued my interest, I'll have to crank up Distant Suns
(my planetarium program) to see where/when the conjunction occurs (any
helpful information before I start would be appreciated).
As one of the replies noted, astronomers refer to the constellation in
which such an event occurs as a guide for others to locate it in the
night sky. Astrologers divide the sky up into 12 equal-sized slices
corresponding to the signs of the Zodiac. Since the constellations
aren't always at nice neat 15� intervals, events occurring near the
"cusps" could be in one constellation and a different sign.

I've now done so. Uranus & Neptune appear right in the middle of
Saggitarius, hence the astronomical description. I wasn't able to
determine the actual time of conjunction (as viewed from the earth) in
the few minutes I spent last night. I'm sure someone has published the
actual date/time, anyway.

I didn't record the actual right ascension (position west of the
celestial vernal equinox) for the planets, but I remember them to be at
about 18�. (I should correct the above to read "30� intervals", since
360� divided by 12 signs = 30�.) Unfortunately, the astrological
Zodiac is based upon the location of the vernal equinox in ancient times,
which has shifted due to the precession of the earth's rotational axis.

| Re: .-1 (Bill)
Thanks for the information. If indeed it is the case that the Astrological Zodiac
originally based on the location of the vernal equinox in ancient times (what
year was that again?) it would be understandable that (again, due to the
procession of the Earth's rotational axis) it would differ by as much as an
entire sign/constellation as is the case now.
Taking this as the case, why would it not be more accurate for an Astrological
readjustment to be made to take into account the procession of Earth's
rotational axis. Surely this would lead to more accurate readings, especially
since, as is noted by the difference of an entire sign (i.e. Capricorn as
opposed to Sagittarius) readings could be quite different.
Is an Astrological adjustment required? It would seem so. If not, why not?

RE: .137
Bill, how "ancient" are you referring to? Also, why do you think
it is unfortunate that many astrologers use the tropical zodiac?
Sergie, I'm not sure why the zodiac has not been adjusted all this
time, but I do know that chart calculatins based on the tropical
zodiac are quite meaningful.
Since I am not well versed in technical astronomy, I can't
intelligently dialogue with you about this. However, I can certainly
ask the question of some friends of mine and see if they have some
insights to share.

Thanks, Carole, I would be very interested to read what you find out from your
friends. Please post when you get the chance. I understand you to mean "tropical
zodiac" to be that which Astrology uses as opposed to the Astronomical collection
of constellations on the ecliptic. It would be an interesting exercise to find
out exactly where the constellations were at my birth (Astronomically that is)
and compare that with the Astrological locations, possibly determine the
comparison of their difference readings, and see how accurate they are.
Thanks again!

From what I can tell, we're talking about the Zodiac at the time of the
Greek Empire.

It's only "unfortunate" that the discrepancy exists to prompt the
question in the first place. Since astronomy and astrology are largely
unrelated, there's no particular reason they should use a common system
for locating celestial events.

As an empirical science, astrology attempts to predict the future based
upon observation of the past. It could be that better results come
from NOT adjusting to accomodate precession. Who knows?

I think Sidereal charts (based on the constellations) are available.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Burlington Free Press
Wednesday, September 16th, 1992
"ASTRONOMERS FIND CLUE TO COMETS
HONOLULU
Astronomers have discovered a small planet-like object beyond Pluto that might
provide long-sought evidence of where comets come from.
The reddish object, 124 miles in diameter, is cruising at a distance 42 times as
far from the sun as Earth -- about 4 billion miles out. Its discoverers believe
it confirms the existence of the hypothetical Kuiper belt, home of would-be
comets.
If this is ture, "We've found the answer to the question, 'Where do the comets
come from?'" said David Jewitt of the University of Hawaii.
Jewitt said he believes the object is a "virtual comet," something that would
turn into a comet if it were pulled closer to the sun."

I am not sure where you got the idea that Uranus and Neptune are
conjunct this month. According to my information, Uranus and Neptune
will be within one degree of each other from December 1992 to December
1993, with the following three conjunctions (as seen from Earth) :
February 3, 1993 (19 Capricorn)
August 21, 1993 (18 Capricorn .. retrograde)
October 25, 1993 (18 Capricorn)
As I recall, the single heliocentric conjunction of these two planets
(as seen from the Sun) occurs on April 19, 1993.

| Re: .145 (Todd)
In reference to the question as to whether Uranus and Neptune are conjunct, it
appears that there is more than one school of thought on this subject. My
understanding is that the one your are using determines conjunctions when the
planetary positions come within one degree. Using this school of thought you
would not see that they are conjunct.
The school of thought I am using is to recognize conjunctions when the planetary
positions come within eight degrees. Using this school of thought they are
indeed conjunct at this time and will be for a long time to come.
Regards,
Sergei

Eight degrees strikes me as a LOT. The sun & moon each subtend one
half degree, so Uranus & Neptune don't need to be very close at ALL to
be considered "in conjunction". Since a Zodiacal "sign" is 30� wide,
there's a better than .25 probability that the two planets will be in
different signs at the start of the conjunction. Which one do you use
as the point of reference, or do you pick a spot between them?

RE: the conjunctions
In a natal chart, an 8 degree orb (10 degrees for the lights) would
be considered a conjunction. However, what is being tracked here is
the actual meeting of these two planets, and their exact degree/minute
of conjunction are the potent points that astrologers have been and
will work with as far as the significance for humanity.
In the timing of events when using transits to natal placements and
progressed points, the window is very small - perhaps 10 to 15 minutes
at the most.

The astrological signs, used by astrologers, have NOTHING to do with
the constellations, used by astronomers. Astrology only
uses the ecliptic (nothing but the orbit of Earth around the Sun,
(re 1603.57) or, seen from Earth, the yearly path from the Sun
around the Earth) as a basic symbol to point to the yearly cyclic
changing quality of the relation between Earth and Sun.
For certain reasons, this yearly movement is divided in 12 equal
sectors of 30 degrees each. To be able to easily distinguish
between the different mathematical sectors, each of them got as
name the same name as the constellation that was behind it AT THAT
MOMENT. Nobody is thinking here about direct influences from those
stars !
So, in my opinion, forget about readjustment.
Hope it's clear.

Astrology Watch Highlights
==========================
The new moon on 26September at 04Libra (cardinal air) provides an opportunity
to mend relationships which may have become imbalanced. Libra relates to the
7th house concerns of relationships, partners, compromise and balance. Libra
is ruled by Venus, which relates to our expressions of love and our sense of
values. Libra is an air sign, however, so love is expressed through ideas and
communications, as opposed to more earthy and hedonistic love expressions
associated with the fixed earth sign Taurus (which is also ruled by Venus).
As a cardinal sign Libra energies actively engage in a balancing act which
results in a dynamic equilibrium as opposed to a static steady-state. Libra
energy can quickly identify fair compromises, yet Libra imparts an urge to
please and so may give away too much of 'self' in order to keep the peace.
To maximize the benefits of this moon cycle, address the sources of disharmony
in your relationships with compassion, yet be sure to save some for yourself.
--------------------
Moon's First Quarter : Saturday 26 September - Saturday 3 October
--------------------
<< Sunday 27 September >>
We should prepare for and beware of sudden upsets and disruptive
communications as Mercury at 14Libra squares Uranus at 14Capricorn.
Be extra careful today since we tend to be more accident prone.
Learn to go with the flow of disruptions, and avoid arguing in the face
of change. Allow for delays resulting from unexpected events.
There may be thunder and lightning expressed in communications relating
to business or partnerships. Through all of this we may be able to remain
talkative and sociable, however, and we are likely to entertain Libran
thoughts of union, peace, joining forces, beauty and aesthetics.
Disagreements or misunderstandings, of which there may be several today,
can probably be resolved in a peaceful manner.
Neptune at 16Capricorn officially turns direct today, though it will take
several days before the effects become evident. When Neptune turns direct
things which have been hidden for some time may now become openly known.
Also, the psychic character of Neptune initiates a new wave of individual
and group psychic development.
<< Monday 28 September >>
Our practical thinking may become confused and deluded today as Mercury at
16Libra squares Neptune at 16Capricorn. However, this influence can also
be especially fruitful for highly creative and intuitive thinking.
---------------------
Moon's Second Quarter : Saturday 3 October - Sunday 11 October
---------------------
<< Sunday 4 October >>
We may be able to bring a new sense of structure and order to broken
relationships as Venus at 12Scorpio squares Saturn at 12Aquarius. This can
indicate an excellent time to sit down and arrive at a conscious understanding
of what each person expects from the other in a relationship. We may feel
a burden of responsibility which requires significant effort on our part.
Our work on relationships may receive a boost as the Sun at 12Libra trines
Saturn at 12Aquarius. This can be a serious day for getting much work
accomplished and fulfilling the obligations of our relationships. Try to
follow practical actions based upon careful planning.
There is great potential for some intense amorous encounters as Venus at
12Scorpio trines Mars at 12Cancer. This aspect is _excellent_ for creating
very harmonious love relationships ... so make your moves now. ;-}
Events may happen quickly and catch us off guard today as the Sun at 12Libra
squares Mars at 12Cancer. Beware of accidents and pay close attention while
driving. Obstacles to self-expression can generate frustration and anger,
which could be compounded by a tendency to hold grudges. Let your anger go.
If you can regulate this aggression, you can enjoy invigorating energy and
willpower.
This is a very busy astrological day .. take a break when it's over.
<< Tuesday 6 October >>
Exciting new love interests may arise today as Venus at 14Scorpio sextiles
Uranus at 14Capricorn. Science or art may figure in the excitement.
Relationships stemming from these encounters are likely to be mature and
responsible with a touch of prudishness, yet they can be embellished by
an intense and sensual emotional attraction.
We should prepare for and beware of sudden upsets and disruptive situations
as the Sun at 14Libra squares Uranus at 14Capricorn. We desire to break
down our everyday routines today, yet we may end up taking foolhardy risks
to do so. Be extra careful today since we tend to be more accident prone.
Learn to go with the flow of disruptions, and avoid arguing or you could
make things worse.
<< Wednesday 7 October >>
Mercury enters fixed water sign Scorpio for a stay until 29October.
With Mercury in Scorpio our communications can become imbued with deep
emotion. Our mental position may be unwavering and stubborn, and may be
presented forcefully and relentlessly. During this time we may become
fascinated with thoughts of life after death or other occult topics, and
profound insights may be revealed. This transit is generally favorable
for joint financial resources.
<< Thursday 8 October >>
Our creative and romantic imagination is aroused as Venus at 16Scorpio
sextiles Neptune at 16Capricorn. Our appreciation of beauty and our
sensitivity to the feelings of others are enhanced.
<< Friday 9 October >>
We may be in for some challenges today resulting from delusion, dreaminess,
creativity, or dissipation of energies as the Sun at 16Libra squares Neptune
at 16Capricorn. This may inspire some to creative expression, and may instill
psychic content into relationships, yet it may also create delusional thinking
with respect to any practical or factual reality orientation. Drugs or other
escapist tendencies may be indulged. The effects of this aspect are likely
to be accentuated since it coincides with the sign/degree of the new moon.
Our struggle between the goals of home life (Cancer) and career ambitions
(Capricorn) is accentuated today by two of the most aggressive and excitable
planetary influences as Mars at 14Cancer opposes Uranus at 14Capricorn.
Arguments may erupt on this day at home or at work, with males likely to be
the most upset. Love relationships may prove to be unreliable or unfaithful.
There is a lot of energy inherent in this cardinal sign aspect, but it will
take great patience and understanding to go with the flow of changes which
it suggests.
<< Saturday 10 October >>
The nature and direction of our expansive tendencies shifts today as Jupiter
leaves practical Virgo and enters harmonious Libra for a balancing act until
10November1993. Jupiter in Libra favors all relationships (especially
partnerships), and is strongly attracted to concepts of justice and fair play.
Since Libra is ruled by Venus, activities concerning beauty, art, music, love,
and romance are also favored. Libra is a cardinal sign, indicating that other
cardinal signs will be most positively affected, and also that we may need to
act (cardinal) in order for positive results to fall into place.
--------------------
Moon's Third Quarter : Sunday 11 October - Monday 19 October
--------------------
<< Sunday 11 October >>
The full moon is exact today as the Sun at 18Libra opposes the Moon at
18Aries. Emotional responses may become very sharp and aggressive, but
these incidents should blow over as fast as they arose. We may lash out
at things which block us from achieving harmony, which is likely to keep
harmony even farther away.
<< Monday 12 October >>
Some intense and profound sexual impulses may be released today which could
reform our values and our concepts of love as Venus conjuncts Pluto at
21Scorpio. Pluto reforms may not be pleasant, but they can destroy all
outdated concepts to allow for a fresh phase of regeneration to start anew.
Love and relationship reforms may be initiated by the exposure of secrets.
<< Tuesday 13 October >>
Dramatic diffusion of our emotional energy may beset us today as Mars at
16Cancer opposes Neptune at 16Capricorn. This could manifest as depression,
anger, apathy, or drug abuse. Psychic channels will be overloaded, so our
discrimination of particular psychic insights may become clouded.
It may be wise to keep any nasty feelings to ourselves today.
<< Thursday 15 October >>
Our mental ideas and thinking patterns may face additional
obstructions which could lead us into a depressive turn of mind today as
Mercury at 12Scorpio squares Saturn at 12Aquarius. Travel arrangements may
also face some snags, and we may feel generally down in the dumps.
Saturn turns direct today which should loosen up certain restrictions which
may have seemed log-jammed for quite some time. This transition identifies
the start of a period during which it is more advisable to take on new
and more far-reaching responsibilities.
<< Saturday 17 October >>
Our mind is stimulated with quick intuitive and inventive thinking as
Mercury at 14Scorpio sextiles Uranus at 14Capricorn. Our original dramatic
expression is enhanced, and inventions or discoveries are favored in
electronics, science or engineering.
<< Sunday 18 October >>
Our perceptions will be keen as Mercury at 16Scorpio sextiles Neptune at
16Capricorn. This aspect stimulates a fertile imagination, and we may become
more than a bit dreamy. Creative writing is especially favored.
---------------------
Moon's Fourth Quarter : Monday 19 October - Sunday 25 October
---------------------
<< Monday 19 October >>
We begin a period of elevated attitudes today, becoming more freedom-loving
and optimistic as Venus enters Sagittarius until 13November. The Sagittarian
influence provides a great time for parties and philosophical friendships,
but be careful since people may say what's on their mind with total disregard
for effects on others. Keep your mouth in check and you should have fun ;-}.
<< Tuesday 20 October >>
Our mind and communication faculties can be lightning quick today as Mercury
at 19Scorpio trines Mars at 19Cancer. Our highly active mind should be able
to get points across easily and quickly. Agressive communications may ensue,
but disagreements are likely to be resolved smoothly.
<< Wednesday 21 October >>
We can enjoy benevolent and peaceful feelings today as Venus at 02Sagittarius
sextiles Jupiter at 02Libra. This aspect imparts creative talent and generous
expression of affection. This may also be a good day to initiate financial
enterprises or real-estate transactions.
<< Thursday 22 October >>
Be subtle with communications today as Mercury conjuncts Pluto at 22Scorpio.
Don't try to force people or it could lead to resentment. Be a reformer, not
a dictator. Battle against your own stubbornness, try to keep a lid on your
tongue, and try to go with the flow.
The Sun transitions from Libra to Scorpio for a stay until 21November.
This signifies our entrance into the stable (fixed) portion of the fall
season. Scorpio emphasis will redirect our efforts towards 8th house
concerns of sex, death with reformative rebirth, and joint finances.
An apt descriptive phrase for the fixed water sign Scorpio is "Still waters
run deep". The following chart highlights this sun-sign transition.

be sure to save a healthy dose for yourself.

Astrology Watch Highlights
==========================
The new moon on 25October in the fixed water sign Scorpio provides an
opportunity to rebuild and stabilize our emotions. Scorpio is ruled by Pluto
(reform, rebirth, transformation) and relates to 8th house concerns of sex,
death with rebirth, and benefit from other people's money. As a fixed sign,
Scorpio energies are stable yet often stubborn and relentless, and thus as a
water sign it is associated with the most persistent and tenacious emotions.
As with other water signs Scorpio energies can be sensitive to insult, however
the negative form of reaction does not manifest as depression (Cancer) or
insecurity (Pisces) but rather may be harbored and expressed as fuming or
resentment. Scorpio is associated with the genitals and imparts strong
sensual/sexual overtones. Psychic faculties are sensitized.
Since Scorpio's ruler Pluto is currently transiting through Scorpio, all
Scorpio/Pluto effects will be heightened during this moon cycle. The way to
maximize your growth during this new moon cycle is to avoid clinging to your
emotional baggage, and allow Pluto energies to destroy all unnecessary
emotional attachments of the past. Problems will arise if you fight against
Pluto's natural process of winnowing out obsolete emotional attachments.
While there are no retrograde planets at the start of this moon cycle,
Mercury turns retrograde on 11November. Attempt to complete the mental
planning phase of projects before that time.
--------------------
Moon's First Quarter : Sunday 25 October - Monday 2 November
--------------------
<< Thursday 29 October >>
We may be able to bring a new sense of structure and order to broken
relationships as Venus at 12Sagittarius sextiles Saturn at 12Aquarius.
This is an excellent time to sit down and arrive at a conscious understanding
of what each person expects from the other in a relationship. Venus sextile
Saturn favors tasks requiring thoroughness and attention to detail.
While it may take a day or two to sink in, we are likely to feel like a huge
load is taken off of our minds when the serious and deep Mercury in Scorpio
ideas are replaced with the free-spirited laissez-faire attitudes of Mercury
in Sagittarius. We will enjoy this until 21November when Mercury retrogrades
back into Scorpio. With Mercury in Sagittarius we become more interested in
higher-learning and open philosophical discussions. We must be careful to
maintain some control over what we choose to express openly or we may end up
with both feet squarely in our mouths and other people becoming offended.
We can mobilize powerful energy for rebuilding today as Mars at 22Cancer
trines Pluto at 22Scorpio. With both planets in water signs and Pluto in
Scorpio, intense emotional experiences or a profound sexual union may ensue.
---------------------
Moon's Second Quarter : Monday 2 November - Tuesday 10 November
---------------------
<< Tuesday 3 November >>
Our thinking is clear and sharp today, and our intellectual curiosity is
heightened as Mercury at 05Sagittarius sextiles Jupiter at 05Libra. We may
be able to more readily grasp a clear understanding of the overall patterns
of life.
<< Wednesday 4 November >>
Our egos may be impeded or our energies may be worn down today as the Sun
at 12Scorpio squares Saturn at 12Aquarius. Any issues we force are likely to
result in equal force opposition ... or possibly immovable opposition since
the square is in fixed signs. Try to remain low-key to avoid the negative
expressions of this aspect.
<< Friday 6 November >>
Practical new work-related discoveries or useful new inventions are possible
today as the Sun at 15Scorpio sextiles Uranus at 15Capricorn. This aspect
may bring some mild relief from recent tensions, and can encourage the
redirection of our efforts into exciting new areas.
<< Sunday 8 November >>
We may become mystical, meditative, and dreamy today as the Sun at 16Scorpio
sextiles Neptune at 16Capricorn. This aspect can make us very sensitive to
the situations of others. Our intuitive and creative faculties are stimulated,
and we can enjoy and appreciate art and beauty. We gain insights into the
workings of the sub-conscious mind, providing valuable material for productive
spiritual development. Romance tends toward the exotic now, so use your
wildest imagination... ;-}
--------------------
Moon's Third Quarter : Tuesday 10 November - Tuesday 17 November
--------------------
<< Wednesday 11 November >>
Today we enter a mentally blas� period as Mercury at 08Sagittarius turns
retrograde until 01December. This should be a very obvious astrological
influence since with Mercury in Sagittarius we speak just about anything that
enters our mind, and with Mercury retrograde there will be no shortage of
boneheaded ideas over the next couple of weeks. Hopefully we we will hear
more of them from others than from out of our own mouths ;-}.
When Mercury turns retrograde our communication faculties slow down, we
become more reflective, and communications in general falter. This does not
have to be such a negative period so long as you don't try to push..push..push
everything to completion. Try to allow extra time, and be content to let
things happen at their own pace. You definitely don't want a tight schedule
when Mercury is retrograde, so try to get as many lingering responsibilities
as possible resolved before today.
<< Friday 13 November >>
The last vestige of Gemini flirtatious fun will wear off today as Venus
enters emotionally sensitive Cancer for a stay until 08December. We may
tend to stay close to home and surround ourselves with things that make us
feel cozy. A home-cooked dinner may be more romantic now than the most
fancy dinner out. Try not to become offended by minor sleights.
<< Saturday 14 November >>
Intense experiences may force us to become actively involved today as the
Sun conjuncts Pluto at 23Scorpio. We may have to repair either a posession
(eg. car) or a situation which has broken down to the point that it must
change radically in order to proceed. We may be confronted by a person
trying to exert unreasonable power over us, forcing us to defend ourselves.
Pluto influences may expose hidden elements of personal or social
transformation. In any case, we may be compelled to enter into experiences
which plunge us well below the superficial level.
<< Sunday 15 November >>
We can effectively initiate communications for expansive new projects as
Mercury at 07Sagittarius sextiles Jupiter at 07Libra. It may be wise to
just think about it now, and wait to act later once Mercury has turned direct.
Favored are Libra projects involving relationships and an artistic sense of
balance, or Sagittarian adventurous wanderings. Have Fun!
---------------------
Moon's Fourth Quarter : Tuesday 17 November - Tuesday 24 November
---------------------
<< Wednesday 18 November >>
We should enjoy a high physical activity level which could be applied to
exercise, recreation, or manual work as the Sun at 27Scorpio trines Mars at
27Cancer. Since both the Sun and Mars are in Water signs we may either
express or encounter assertive emotional responses. If we can focus our
emotions in a specific direction we may accomplish a startling amount.
<< Thursday 19 November >>
We needn't expect any serious problems as Venus at 07Cancer squares Jupiter
at 07Libra, yet we may experience personal let-downs of an emotional nature.
This aspect may bring out cruder mannerisms lacking in social grace, and
we may procrastinate and waste time on unproductive pursuits.
<< Thursday 19 November >>
Mercury enters fixed water sign Scorpio in retrograde motion for a stay until
12December. With Mercury in Scorpio our communications can become imbued with
deep emotion. Our mental position may be unwavering and stubborn, and may be
presented forcefully and relentlessly. During this time we may become
fascinated with thoughts of life after death or other occult topics, and
profound insights may be revealed. This transit is generally favorable
for joint financial resources.
Mercury very soon conjuncts the Sun at 29Scorpio which imparts effective and
potentially forceful self-expression. We will gain abundant mental energy
allowing us to pay close attention to details, but with Mercury retrograde
we still may miss one or two. A short trip may be enjoyable now.
The Sun transitions from Scorpio to Sagittarius today for a stay until
21December. This transition will signify our entrance into the mutable
(changable) portion of the fall season. The Sagittarian emphasis will redirect
our efforts towards the 9th house concerns of philosophy, higher education,
and travel, and will impart a free-spirited and laissez-faire attitude.
Sagittarian energy is aptly characterized as a care-free and happy wanderer.
The Sun's entrance into Sagittarius (ruled by Jupiter) will certainly lighten
up most people's hearts following a deeply emotional excursion through Scorpio.
The following chart highlights this sun-sign transition.

---------- -----------
Duality Feminine Masculine

<< Thursday 19 November >>
Our mind and communication faculties can be quick today as Mercury at
27Scorpio trines Mars at 27Cancer. Our highly active mind should be able
to present information easily and quickly, although with Mercury retrograde
other people still may not understand the information the first time.
Agressive communications may ensue, but disagreements are likely to be
resolved eventually.
The next New Moon occurs in Sagittarius on 24November. Until then ...
let Pluto clear out your emotional garbage, prepare ahead for Mercury
turning retrograde, and don't be afraid to be adventurous once the Sun
enters Sagittarius.

Astrology Watch Highlights
==========================
The new moon on 24November in the mutable fire sign Sagittarius provides us
with opportunities to explore the world around us, and in the process, to
expand our own personal philosophies. Sagittarius is ruled by benefic Jupiter
(expansion) and relates to the 9th house concerns of philosophy, higher
learning, travel, and exploration. As a mutable sign, Sagittarian energies
are flexible, and are characterized by a care-free laissez-faire attitude.
As with other fire signs (Aries, Leo) Sagittarian energies are associated with
dynamic and fast-moving activities, and can seem insensitive to the feelings
of those who move a bit more slowly. Sagittarian expressions can often appear
to be out-of-control, and eccentric actions may be undertaken for their shock
value alone .. usually all in fun ;-}. Don't ask anyone for their opinion
unless you truly want to know, because the Sagittarian "who cares what anyone
else thinks" attitude could yield some very blunt and startling responses.
The new moon in Sagittarius also indicates interest in foreign affairs, and
may provide some new and expansive concepts relating to world peace. The way
to maximize your growth during this Sagittarian new moon cycle is to lighten
up your attitude and freely explore new fields which you find interesting and
emotionally rewarding.
Mercury is still retrograde for another week so this is still a time for
mental reconsideration and reconsolidation. Unfortunately, before Mercury
turns direct, Mars turns retrograde all the way through the holiday season.
This is probably not a good year for mechanical holiday gifts, so if you are
still buying gifts, try to choose things which aren't breakable or else
expect them to last only a couple of weeks without repair.
--------------------
Moon's First Quarter : Tuesday 24 November - Wednesday 2 December
--------------------
<< Thursday 26 November >>
Excitement and unpredictability may spruce up our love life today as Venus
conjuncts Uranus at 16Capricorn. Unexpected changes could rattle the
foundations our affections. We may become attracted to a new love interest,
and with Venus in Capricorn the new love may be someone older or someone met
through work.
<< Thursday 27 November >>
Be subtle with communications today as Mercury conjuncts Pluto at 23Scorpio.
Don't try to force people or it could lead to resentment. Be a reformer, not
a dictator. Battle against your own stubbornness, try to keep a lid on your
tongue, and try to go with the flow.
We may enjoy a creative and dreamily romantic time today as Venus conjuncts
Neptune at 17Capricorn. This feeling may be enhanced if we can extend beyond
the practicality of Capricorn to enjoy the aspect more fully. Use of drugs
or meditative states may also be highlighted.
<< Saturday 28 November >>
Mars at 27Cancer turns retrograde today for about ten weeks until 15Feb93.
While all other outer planets turn retrograde in just over a year, and inner
planets turn retrograde several times a year, the two year orbital cycle of
Mars interacts with earth's one year cycle to result in a Mars retrograde
period only once every two years+ .. the rarest retrograde event. Mars
retrograde periods indicate a general repression and internalization of the
aggressive and desirous Mars energies making it difficult for us to press
forward in any direction and potentially leading to frustration and
misdirection of anger. Reconsolidation and more defensive positions are
suggested. Also, a few extra rules of thumb about Mars retrograde periods ..
if you buy a car, or actually any machinery (generally ruled by Mars), during
this period it is likely to be very accident prone so be sure to get good
insurance or warranties .. if you start a sexual relationship during this
period it is more likely to end in enmity .. if you initiate a lawsuit during
this period you are likely to lose (the defensive position is favored). So ..
lay low for a while on the aggressive front, reevaluate the directions which
you have been pushing in, and prepare yourself for entering a new two year
period of forceful advancement toward your goals when the new year begins.
<< Tuesday 1 December >>
Mercury at 22Scorpio turns to direct motion today which will gradually
allow communications to flow more smoothly, and will reduce the effects
of distractive interruptions.
Our ego drives will get energized as the Sun at 10Sagittarius sextiles
Jupiter at 10Libra. With a bit of internal bolstering we can become brimming
with boisterous self-confidence and optimism. This aspect can also bring very
good luck, and things planned today should work out well. It is also a good
day for group participation activities or philosophical pursuits.
Later today, Mercury at 22Scorpio sextiles Venus at 22Capricorn. This mild
aspect between inner planets has a relatively brief effect of making us feel
pretty good. It can allow us to communicate effectively about likes and
dislikes, especially regarding fashion and decorating ideas or emotionally
intense experiences.
---------------------
Moon's Second Quarter : Wednesday 2 December - Wednesday 9 December
---------------------
<< Thursday 3 December >>
Our love life or affective nature may undergo a somewhat radical yet
contructive reform as Venus at 23Capricorn sextiles Pluto at 23Scorpio.
With Venus in Capricorn this may involve our work surroundings, and with
Pluto in Scorpio the reforms may be emotionally intense or sensual. As
with all sextile aspects we must take the initiative or it may not happen.
<< Saturday 5 December >>
We have an opportunity to redress any problems which may have arisen on
27November as Mercury at 23Scorpio again conjuncts Pluto at 23Scorpio.
This time Mercury is in direct motion however. If we heed the advice to
avoid trying to reform others, and instead work on reforming our own
communications, we may be able to clear up any lingering resentment.
We enjoy an orderly state of mind and self-discipline excellent for
constructive work as the Sun at 14Sagittarius sextiles Saturn at 14Aquarius.
This aspect confers constructive ambition, good organization, and a mature
attitude. This is a very favorable time for important communications with
those in power. We are likely to make steady progress toward goals, and
enjoy an enhanced sense of dignity. Some initiative and patience may be
required in order to reap the benefits of this aspect.
<< Sunday 6 December >>
A conflict may arise between our sense of value at work (Venus in Capricorn)
and our home-based expressions of desire or aggression (Mars) as Venus at
27Capricorn opposes Mars retrograde at 27Cancer. We must attempt to rise
above the apparent conflicts to recognize the complementary nature of these
expressions, and thus provide a balance between our sense of values and our
aggressive reactions. Venus/Mars aspects imply physical attractions, and
many first-time physical encounters may arise today, with a fitting motto
for today being "If you can't be with the one you love, then love the one
you're with." But with Mars retrograde this is not a good time to start an
enduring relationship.
<< Tuesday 8 December >>
Venus enters Aquarius today for a stay until 03January93. Venus in Aquarius
stimulates a more detached and intellectual approach to love, and may be
accompanied by more idealistic affection for 'humanity' than for any
individual person. We may have difficulty empathizing with the emotional
problems of others since we may concern ourselves only with the big picture
and overlook significant personal issues. Group activities and humanitarian
causes will have more of an attraction for us now.
--------------------
Moon's Third Quarter : Wednesday 9 December - Wednesday 16 December
--------------------
<< Wednesday 9 December >>
The full moon is exact this morning with the Sun at 18Sagittarius and the
Moon at 18Gemini forming a total lunar eclipse. Last night may have been
quite a wild party night, with flirtations rampant. It may take us a while
to recuperate, and we may not feel very grounded until tomorrow afternoon
when the moon enters Cancer.
Our mind and communication faculties can be lightning quick today as Mercury
at 27Scorpio trines Mars at 27Cancer. Our highly active mind should be able
to get points across easily and quickly. Agressive communications may ensue,
and with Mars retrograde the aggression may be misdirected, but disagreements
are likely to be resolved smoothly through communication.
<< Sunday 12 December >>
While it may take a day or two to sink in, we are likely to feel like a huge
load is taken off of our minds when the serious and deep Mercury in Scorpio
ideas are replaced with the free-spirited laissez-faire attitudes of Mercury
in Sagittarius. We will enjoy this until 02January93, during which time we
will become more interested in higher-learning and open philosophical
discussions. We must be careful to maintain at least some control over what
we choose to express openly or we may end up with both feet squarely in our
mouths and other people becoming offended.
---------------------
Moon's Fourth Quarter : Wednesday 16 December - Tuesday 23 December
---------------------
<< Friday 18 December >>
We may become romantically inclined today as Venus at 12Aquarius trines
Jupiter at 12Libra ... one of the most positive astrological aspects. While
Venus may feel a bit subdued in Capricorn, this aspect could enable us
to break out from restrictive influences and construct a new foundation for
our affectional interests. Venus trine Jupiter is also excellent for a bit
of redecorating around the home or office. Artistic endeavors involving music
or art are likely to give you pleasure and turn out well due to the great
creative potential. This is a time when we may finally receive deserved
rewards which were previously earned, and when we are likely to demonstrate
more benevolence toward others.
<< Sunday 20 December >>
We can mobilize powerful energy for rebuilding today as Mars at 24Cancer
trines Pluto at 24Scorpio. With both planets in water signs and Pluto in
Scorpio, intense emotional experiences or a profound sexual union may ensue.
However, with Mars retrograde an internal rebuilding of our aggressive
motivations may be more beneficial.
<< Monday 21 December >>
This morning the Sun transitions from Sagittarius (mutable fire) to Capricorn
(cardinal earth). This is called the Winter Solstice, the first day of
Winter, and has the least sun-light of the year (in the Northern hemisphere).
It also signifies the entrance into the cardinal (active, initiating) portion
of the winter season. The Capricorn emphasis redirects our efforts towards
the 10th house concerns of career, status and prestige. Capricorn energy
focuses upon the construction of sturdy foundations of all kinds (physical,
emotional, spiritual, etc.), and can provide a required base for the emotional
family-related expressions of its opposite/complementary sign Cancer.
The Sun's entrance into Capricorn (ruled by Saturn) will certainly bring a
more serious and sober attitude to people after the lighter expressions of
Sagittarius. Capricorn energies can endure great sacrifices to move ahead in
a career. Caring and compassion for others must be developed, however, or the
outward success will end up being as empty and unfulfilling as the sacrifices
which led there. The following chart highlights this sun-sign transition.

Element Fire Earth
Quality Mutable Cardinal
Planet Jupiter Saturn
Keyword 'I See' 'I Use'
Polarity Gemini Cancer

We can effectively initiate communications for expansive new projects as
Mercury at 12Sagittarius sextiles Jupiter at 12Libra. Favored are Libra
projects involving relationships and an artistic sense of balance, or
Sagittarian adventurous wanderings. Have Fun!
Later tonight we may experience a 'wet blanket' atmosphere as Venus conjuncts
Saturn at 15Aquarius. This may not be much fun, but it can be effectively
utilized to reestablish relationships on a firmer foundations over the next
couple of days. We may experience restrictions, delays, or roadblocks. We
might feel a bit better if we spend some time redecorating.
<< Wednesday 23 December >>
We may experience a clear mind and good judgement today as Mercury at
15Sagittarius sextiles Saturn at 15Aquarius. This is an excellent time to
lay the groundwork for future plans. This aspect enhances our capacity for
organization, and encourages us to leave nothing to chance. Carefully
recording your dreams today may yield additional insights.
The next new Moon occurs in Capricorn on December 23rd 1992 with a partial
solar eclipse. Until then ... enjoy your Sagittarian wanderings, ride out
the Mars retrograde period by reevaluating your aggressive tendencies
instead of venting them right away, and prepare for an industrious and
productive solar excursion through the practical sign Capricorn.

the Astrology Watch tonight. Better late than never, I suppose.
Thanks for your patience.
We are now warming up for the first of three Uranus-Neptune
conjunctions next month. It may be worthwhile to check out the

Uranus and Neptune this month to get an idea of the energies which

Astrology Watch Highlights
==========================
The new moon on 23December in the cardinal earth sign Capricorn provides us
with opportunities to construct a solid concrete foundation upon which to
erect the physical, emotional, and spiritual structures of our lives.
Capricorn is ruled by Saturn (restriction) and relates to the 10th house
concerns of career, prestige, ambition, and status. As a cardinal sign,
Capricorn energies are active, and are characterized by workaholic tendencies
and more serious and sober attitudes. With Capricorn energies, we become
more aware of our own sense of structure and of our ego concerns. We are
likely to place more emphasis on work, including acceptance of added
responsibilities and more concern for long-range planning. This new moon is
also accentuated by a partial solar eclipse, which indicates that projects
initiated at this time may have a pronounced effect which can last for a
period of several months or more.
Capricorn energies can endure great sacrifices for career ambitions, but they
may ignore the personal compassion and caring which makes life worth living.
As with other earth signs (Taurus, Virgo) Capricorn energies are associated
with practical, rational, and generally down-to-earth activities, which may
seem overly constrained to some of the freer energies of the zodiac. The way
to maximize your growth during this new moon cycle is to pay attention to job
related issues, and to strengthen your professional and business foundations.
However, retain an awareness of the qualities of the opposing sign Cancer by
remaining sensitive to home and family issues, and thus embrace both sides of
the dichotomy between conscious will and tangible success (Capricorn) versus
unconsious mind and intangible feelings (Cancer).
--------------------
Moon's First Quarter : Wednesday 23 December - Thursday 31 December
--------------------
<< Wednesday 23 December >>
We may experience a clear mind and good judgement today as Mercury at
15Sagittarius sextiles Saturn at 15Aquarius. This is an excellent time to
lay the groundwork for future plans. This aspect enhances our capacity for
organization, and encourages us to leave nothing to chance. Carefully
recording your dreams today may yield additional insights.
<< Tuesday 29 December >>
Mercury at 24Sagittarius sextiles Venus at 24Aquarius today. This mild
aspect between inner planets has a relatively brief effect of making us feel
pretty good. It can allow us to communicate effectively and frankly about
likes and dislikes, especially regarding fashion and decorating ideas.
We may show a lack of consideration for the emotional feelings of others
today as Venus at 24Aquarius squares Pluto at 24Scorpio. Emotional attempts
(Venus) to reform others (Pluto) can lead to resentment. Additional problems
with the control of sexual urges are indicated, and may be compounded by
realizations of sexual incompatibilities. Avoid criminal elements and secret
activities, and place extra protection on valuable property. Past emotional
attachments may be shattered at this time. While this may not seem beneficial
at the time, Pluto enforces its lessons by removing excess baggage which is
not required in a particular area of your life in order to prepare for a
fresh rebirth in that area. Thus while this aspect may be rough, it provides
exceptional opportunities for forceful internal work on reforming our own
emotional attachments.
---------------------
Moon's Second Quarter : Thursday 31 December - Friday 8 January
---------------------
<< Saturday 2 January >>
Today Mercury transits from Sagittarius to Capricorn for a stay until
23January. With Mercury in Capricorn we enter a period where orderly
and structured thought processes are likely to be applied toward career
development interests. Much practical work can be accomplished during this
transit. We are likely to be more prepared and organized, with a strong
tendency to look for bargains to the point of being cheap. We may be faced
with restrictions on our free thinking, or with added work responsibilities.
In either case we are likely to be mentally challenged by ourselves or others.
<< Sunday 3 January >>
Venus transits from Aquarius to Pisces today for a stay until 02February.
Venus in Pisces is extremely sensitive, and demonstrates extraordinary
emotional sympathy and understanding, kindness towards those in need, and
appreciation of beauty. Due to the influence of Neptune, the ruler of Pisces,
we can understand others on a deeply spiritual and compassionate level.
This transit is associated with secret romances and behind-the-scenes
activity. We are attracted to places of retreat and romantic privacy.
Mild personal problems arising from hypocrisy, extravagance, and inflated
self-importance are indicated today as the Sun at 14Capricorn squares Jupiter
at 14Libra. While the effects of this square are not severe, it can lead
to overexpansion, foolish optimism, and waste. We may feel a bit on the
slow side today, and just taking it easy may be the theme for today. We have
a tendency to adhere to dogmatic views which may cause problems in romantic,
social, or business situations. Gambling is unwise at this time, and charity
may be tinged with a desire for personal recognition and praise. The
'antidote' for most of these negative expressions is to maintain a more
objective and philosophical perspective.
<< Tuesday 5 January >>
Dramatic diffusion of our emotional energy may beset us today as Mars at
18Cancer opposes Neptune at 18Capricorn. This could manifest as depression,
anger, apathy, or drug abuse. Psychic channels will be overloaded, so our
discrimination of particular psychic insights may become clouded.
<< Wednesday 6 January >>
Our struggle between the goals of home life (Cancer) and career ambitions
(Capricorn) is accentuated today by two of the most aggressive and excitable
planetary influences as Mars at 18Cancer opposes Uranus at 18Capricorn.
Arguments may erupt on this day at home or at work, with males likely to be
the most upset. Love relationships may prove to be unreliable or unfaithful.
There is a lot of energy inherent in this cardinal sign aspect, but it will
take great patience and understanding to go with the flow of changes which
it suggests.
<< Thursday 7 January >>
Try to stay out of fights today as the Sun at 17Capricorn opposes Mars
retrograde at 17Cancer. During this period it is advised to avoid battles,
avoid extensive travel, and be extremely careful with combustible materials
(and be sure to turn your iron off!). Aggression is likely to be misplaced,
and is as likely to be turned back towards you. Relationships may also
suffer from insensitive 'me-first' attitudes.
--------------------
Moon's Third Quarter : Friday 8 January - Thursday 14 January
--------------------
<< Friday 8 January >>
The full moon is exact today with the Moon at 17Cancer opposed to the Sun
at 17Capricorn. This full moon may be very active both at work and at home,
and reconciling these competing demands on our time and emotions is a primary
challenge of this aspect.
We may experience unexpected shocks as the Sun conjuncts Uranus at
18Capricorn. This aspect brings an interest in shaking off old routines,
and we can enjoy an exciting inner drive to be different. It is a _great_
time to break stale habits! This aspect can impart personal magnetism and
eccentricity, and can also indicate practical innovations at work. Don't
get caught up struggling with boring stuff today.. break free and do
something exciting!
We can be creative in a tangible or practical way today as the Sun conjuncts
Neptune at 18Capricorn. We may have dreamy or idealistic business thoughts,
and may grasp new insights into business planning processes. There is a
potential for deception today, so keep your eyes and ears open. Be careful
not to overdo it with drugs or alcohol.
<< Monday 11 January >>
We can bolster optimistic attitudes towards long-range goals today as Mercury
at 14Capricorn squares Jupiter at 14Libra. This aspect can be favorable, and
at this time we may grasp the whole picture and think in big, ideal, abstract
terms. We may be sloppy with details, however, and may be inclined to
overlook important details which conflict with larger plans.
<< Tuesday 12 January >>
We could be in for a hot one today as Mercury at 16Capricorn opposes Mars
retrograde at 16Cancer. This can lead to fights, with more communication
potentially leading to more fights. They may be petty squabbling fights as
opposed to fights with some clear goal in mind. Be careful of expressing
yourself in too abrupt a manner as this is bound to inflame those you are
relating to. Also, be careful driving during this period since accidents
could be more likely.
---------------------
Moon's Fourth Quarter : Thursday 14 January - Friday 22 January
---------------------
<< Thursday 14 January >>
Exciting conversations which may be energized by a slip of the tongue or two
are highlighted today as Mercury conjuncts Uranus at 18Capricorn. Listen to
inspirational new twists on some old out-dated concepts, especially at work
or in regard to practical concerns and goals.
Our practical thoughts may be more than a bit confused today as Mercury
conjuncts Neptune at 18Capricorn. However, penetrating insights may also
arise, but Neptune can be deceiving so don't believe everything you hear.
We may experience new and reformative ideas and actions as the Sun at
25Capricorn sextiles Pluto at 25Scorpio. We are likely to experience intense
emotions and the strength of our convictions. This is a good day to make
productive changes of a rebuilding nature.
<< Saturday 16 January >>
We may be confronted with challenges today as Mars at 14Cancer squares
Jupiter at 14Libra. These challenges are likely to be a result of the
overexpansion of our desires, or expansion into areas which are not
productive. We may move ahead too fast and thereby miss some important
things which could lead us into accidents. The overexpansion could also be
of the ego, leading to an over-competitive attitude. Be cautious, and try
to relax and let it ride instead of pushing it to the limit.
There is great potential for some intense amorous encounters as Venus at
14Pisces trines Mars at 14Cancer. This aspect is _excellent_ for creating
very harmonious love relationships ... so make your moves now. ;-}
<< Wednesday 18 January >>
We also share the possibility for constructive reformative ideas and
communications today as Mercury at 25Capricorn sextiles Pluto at 25Scorpio.
We may become preoccupied with deep or profound thoughts concerning
regeneration. As with all sextile aspects, some initiating effort on our
part may be required to activate these energies.
<< Tuesday 19 January >>
The Sun transitions from cardinal earth sign Capricorn to fixed air sign
Aquarius today for a stay until 18February. This signifies our entrance into
the fixed (stable) portion of the winter season. The Aquarian emphasis will
redirect our efforts towards the 11th house concerns of groups, social work,
and worthy causes. Aquarius is ruled by Uranus which contributes erratic,
ingenious, and revolutionary influences, with an emphasis on science, high
technology, or astrology. Aquarian energy can be perceptive, detached, and
impersonal, and can provide a confident intellectual base for leadership
expressions of its opposite/complementary sign Leo.
The Sun's entrance into Aquarius will bring a more detached and intellectual
attitude to people after the heavier expressions of Capricorn. Aquarian energy
invariably attempts to idealize the human condition, denying personal foibles
and being generally impersonal, yet pursuing social and humanitarian issues
and group goals. Aquarian energy may feel more compassion for idealistic
concerns of 'humanity' than for the concerns of actual individual human beings
who are inevitably not so ideal. The following chart highlights this sun-sign
transition.

Today Mercury transits from Capricorn to Aquarius for a stay until
17February. Mercury entering Aquarius indicates that our mental faculties
will surface from the Capricorn grind, with idealistic Aquarian (Uranian)
ideas emphasizing humanitarian and group goals. Our communications are more
conducive to the establishment of friendships, yet in a somewhat detached way.
Unexpected unusual and exciting opportunities may be waiting around the
corner for us today as Venus at 19Pisces sextiles Uranus at 19Capricorn.
We may have unique original ideas in creating art, music, or money. While
disruptions or unexpected events may occur with our love lives or friendships,
these events may encourage us to extend ourselves into broader and freer
fields of expression. Since we will crave a fun-loving social life, figure out
what brings fun and excitement into your life, and go out and do it today!
Our creative and romantic imagination is aroused as Venus at 19Pisces
sextiles Neptune at 19Capricorn. Our appreciation of beauty and our
sensitivity to the feelings of others are enhanced. We may need to extend
ourselves a bit to take advantage of these influences.
The next new Moon occurs at 03Aquarius on 22January. Until then ...
harness and utilize the stimulating formative energy of this moon
cycle to establish a firm foundation for innovative development of
tangible inner and outer manifestations of your uniqueness.

Astrology Watch Highlights
==========================
The new moon on 22January in Aquarius (fixed air) provides us with
opportunities to re-establish our involvement with the creative goals of
groups and organizations, with friends, and with humanitarian interests.
Aquarius is ruled by Uranus (erratic change) and relates to the 11th house
concerns of organizations, personal goals and objectives, science, and a
detached mental outlook. As a fixed sign, Aquarian energies are stable;
and as an air sign the energy is expressed through ideas rather than
through actions (fire), emotions (water), or things (earth).
Using Aquarian influences individuals can enjoy more positive self-expression
through scientific, humanitarian, or occult groups. People also gain a more
universal perspective on life. The way to maximize growth during this new
moon cycle is to condense ideas and thoughts into viable plans for the future
which are designed for the benefit of all rather than just for ourselves.
---------------------
Moon's First Quarter : Friday 22 January - Saturday 30 January
---------------------
<< Saturday 23 January >>
Today should be an intellectually talkative day as the Sun conjuncts Mercury
at 04Aquarius. We are likely to entertain Aquarian humanitarian ideals, but
we must be careful to ground our goals on a practical foundation and to accept
the foibles of others.
<< Thursday 28 January >>
We may become overwhelmed with intense emotions as Venus at 25Pisces trines
Pluto at 25Scorpio. This aspect imparts a capability for the highest form of
love, and is accompanied by strong sexual drives. The power of love can have
a transforming effect on others. The placement of these planets in water
signs favors the more sensitive and steamy romantic encounters.
Our expansive tendencies in relationships begins to settle back into a
period of consolidation today as Jupiter at 15Libra turns retrograde until
31May. This is not the best period to buy a new house or property, or to
build additions onto your current property. Expansion of any kind may not
turn out as planned. Instead, attempt to complete and consolidate current
efforts in preparation for a new wave of expansion beginning in May.
<< Friday 29 January >>
Our mental outlook is looking up today with optimistic viewpoints as Mercury
at 15Aquarius trines Jupiter at 15Libra. This aspect may be accompanied by
job opportunities for interesting and rewarding work, or promotions. At this
time communications are smooth and philosophically minded. We demonstrate a
good balance between attention to detail versus our grasp of the comprehensive
view. Our health may improve through relaxation or excercise. This aspect is
favorable for study, writing, teaching, interacting with the communications
media, or travel related to philosophy, religion, or higher education.
---------------------
Moon's Second Quarter : Saturday 30 January - Saturday 6 February
---------------------
<< Monday 1 February >>
On this day, those in authority may issue orders in especially cold and
insensitive terms as Mercury conjuncts Saturn at 20Aquarius, and as a result
of this harshness the abused may become a dangerous enemy. This aspect will
especially impact those involved with communication or transport services,
or with issues relating to restrictions on communications.
<< Tuesday 2 February >>
The activity level in our relationships will increase markedly as Venus
enters Aries for a stay until 6June. During this transit we become more
impulsive and aggressive in our emotional expressions. Affections can also
become impulsive and unstable. The opposite/complementary energies of Jupiter
in Libra can be invaluable for providing balance and harmony in relationships
during this period of rapid-fire emotional activity.

* * * * * * * Uranus conjunct Neptune * * * * * * * * *
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
This a pivotal astrological year with Uranus conjuncting Neptune to initiate
a new 171 cycle between these two planets. The first of the geocentric
conjunctions (as viewed from earth) occurs today with both planets at
19Capricorn. A second conjunction in retrograde motion occurs on 19August,
and the cosmic dance is finalized for us on 25October. The major power of
this conjunction is not expected to be felt immediately, but as all other
planets transit the zodiac they will aspect Uranus and Neptune in such rapid
succession that the combined effects of these two planets will be magnified.
This major long-term aspect between outer planets may affect world events
and societal views so profoundly that it transforms the psyche of all people.
Uranus is the planet of abrupt and obvious change while Neptune exerts its
influence slowly and subtly within metaphysical dimensions. Uranus is
personified by the eccentric genious, with Neptune as the mystical monk.
Uranus rules electricity and Neptune rules water, which can be a shocking
combination. With Uranus in the cardinal earth sign Capricorn, earthquakes
are suggested, which may stir the depths of the Neptunian seas. Abrupt
onslaughts of water such as floods and tidal waves are also suggested.
Uranus rules technology and Neptune inspires artistic creativity so we may
see many new creative technological inventions and solutions over the next
few years. Neptune imparts future visiionary thinking, yet for those not
attuned to Neptune's influences it may manifest as chaos and confusion.
Uranus can provide a wealth of new information which may have been hidden
or may be tempoorarily confusing due to Neptune's influence.
This conjunction may also have the profound effect of enlarging the human
capacity for intelligence. These influences can ignite our dream state so
that it enters waking consciousness, with the potential for us to wake up
to a new level of consciousness. Revolutionary transitions in consciousnes
can take us beyond our accustomed level of awareness.
"In the ordinary waking state man does not see the real world.
He lives in a hypnotic sleep ... to awaken means to be dehypnotized."
P.D. Ouspensky, "In Search of the Miraculous"
With Uranus conjunct Neptune in the sign Capricorn, energy may be directed
toward the structures and conventional mores of our societies. Many formal
structures (political, scientific, geographic, ...) may dissolve seemingly
on their own through the influences of Neptune, or with a spark from Uranus.
Neptune may provide insightful clues to the future forms of these structures,
and Uranus may provide a spark to germinate these ideas and the energy to
pursue them. With this aspect in Capricorn, innovative discoveries may fly
in the face of conventional wisdom, and some inventions may be patented and
then suppressed. The mainstream will be forced to deal more openly with long
suppressed metaphysical topics such as UFO's, telepathy, and clairvoyance.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
<< Wednesday 3 February >>
This should be an optimistic and happy day or two as the Sun at 15Aquarius
trines Jupiter retrograde at 15Libra. With both in Air signs our mental
and intellectual will get a boost. With Jupiter currently retrograde we may
end up a bit over-extended, but we should still take this aspect and run with
it! Throw a party, or at least attend one. This aspect is also favorable
for completing home renovations which never quite got finished.
<< Thursday 4 February >>
Our manner of communicating to ourselves and others may undergo challenges
later today as Mercury at 25Aquarius squares Pluto at 25Scorpio. Challenges
may be severe enough to divert us to a new way of thinking about ourselves
and of communicating to others. Powerful and forceful communications may
be expressed, and with both planets in fixed signs neither side is likely
to budge. Our best bet is to accept any criticism from others with a calm
and listening ear, and then use the feedback to modify our attitudes and
behaviors. While this sounds good, it may not be so easy to accomplish today.
---------------------
Moon's Third Quarter : Saturday 6 February - Saturday 13 February
---------------------
<< Saturday 6 February >>
The Moon is full at 6:57PM today with the Moon at 18Leo opposed to the Sun
at 18Aquarius. This fixed-sign opposition can lead us to stubbornly adhere
to a self-righteous attitude that we can't be wrong. This attitude may be
accompanied by a good dose of showing off or over-dramatic demonstrations.
We may feel like a million, but we should tone down our presentation a bit.
<< Sunday 7 February >>
Today Mercury enters Pisces for a stay until it enters Aries on 15April.
When Mercury is in Pisces (ruled by Neptune) we can become more in touch
with the hidden sides of our personalities and our unconscious drives, yet
we are more likely to keep such insights to ourselves. We are likely to have
increased concern with spiritual development, and may feel like escaping into
reclusion to sort out our ideas. Keeping secrets from others will only
undermine their confidence in us once the hidden secrets are revealed.
<< Tuesday 9 February >>
Restrictions or increased responsibilities may weigh heavily upon us today
and may be sobering or depressing as the Sun conjuncts Saturn at 21Aquarius.
This may also represent a disciplinarian attitude toward using authority.
Arthritis or joint pain may also kick up and restrict some people's mobility.
Try to do something practical today, or reconsider long-range plans.
<< Friday 12 February >>
Our mind and communication faculties can be lightning quick today as Mercury
at 09Pisces trines Mars at 09Cancer. Our highly active mind should be able
to get points across easily and quickly. Agressive communications may ensue,
but disagreements are likely to be resolved smoothly.
With Venus (sensitive) in Aries (sharp) and Mars (sharp) in Cancer (senstive)
we may be prone to a mix of mismatched overreactions today as Venus at 09Aries
squares Mars at 09Cancer. We may oscillate irregularly between mental
aggression and conciliatory self-pity, and may be prone to get involved in
fights or, more aptly, spats. Mellow out ...
---------------------
Moon's Fourth Quarter : Saturday 13 February - Sunday 21 February
---------------------
<< Saturday 13 February >>
Bad feelings are apt to flare up in an open encounter today as the Sun at
25Aquarius squares Pluto at 25Scorpio. For this aspect the Sun can represent
powerful authority figures and Pluto can indicate the emotional eruption of
hidden grudges. This is a good day to keep our mouths shut so we don't
close any doors behind ourselves.
<< Monday 15 February >>
While technically Mars turns direct at 09Cancer today, it will take a few
days before manifesting any effects. When it does, it signifies a 'coming
out' of our desire nature from retrograde introspection to direct action, and
relief from the foul-ups of misdirected aggression. Frustrations which may
have built up for some time may now be expressed and/or resolved through
emotionally sensitive (Cancer) actions.
<< Thursday 18 February >>
Today the Sun enters Pisces for a stay until 20March. The mutable Piscean
influences (ruled by Neptune) bring a more sensitive and emotional attitude
compared to the fixed mental expressions of Aquarius. People may become more
sensitive, creative, and romantic, and will strive for insights on deeper
emotional levels. The following chart highlights this sun-sign transition.

Duality Masculine Feminine

<< Friday 19 February >>
Today Uranus and Neptune form their one and only heliocentric conjunction
(from the perspective of the Sun). While there is not much literature on
the significance of this event, the Uranus-Neptune energy for change may
be especially activated now. This could be a pivotal week in world events.
<< Saturday 20 February >>
Indulgence, exaggeration, and wasted time are likely today as Venus at
14Aries opposes Jupiter retrograde at 14Libra. It is likely to be lively
and indulgent, but we deserve a bit of indulgence today ;-}. Since both
planets are benefic, this opposition aspect is only slightly troublesome,
and may in fact be rather enjoyable. The opposition merely indicates some
potentially unchecked expansiveness or impulsiveness.
Our perceptions will be keen as Mercury at 19Pisces sextiles Neptune at
19Capricorn. This aspect stimulates a fertile imagination, and we may
become more than a bit dreamy. Creative writing is especially favored.
Our mind may be racing today as Mercury at 19Pisces sextiles Uranus at
19Capricorn. The Neptune and Uranus sextiles occur in such close priximity
that the effects of these two aspects will blend together. This aspect
stimulates quick intuitive and inventive thinking, and enhances original
dramatic expression. Inventions or discoveries are favored in electronics,
science or engineering. Try some brainstorming of innovative new career or
work ideas.
The next new moon occurs in Pisces on 21February. Until then ...
embrace the transcendent changes inherent in the coming Uranus-Neptune
conjunction, and nurture your creative inspiration to initiate the next
171 year cycle with your sights set firmly on your dreams.

Astrology Watch Highlights
==========================
The new moon on 21February in Pisces (mutable water) provides us with
opportunities to reestablish a close connection with our deepest and most
profound feelings. Pisces is ruled by Neptune (sublime delusion) and relates
to 12th house concerns of unconscious emotions, past experiences, intuitive
thoughts, behind the scenes actions, incarceration, and institutions.
As a mutable sign, Piscean energies are flexible; and as a water sign the
energy is expressed through emotions rather than through actions (fire),
things (earth), or thoughts (air). Using Piscean influences, we can enjoy
art, music, poetry and any project that requires sensitivity and creative,
imaginative thought. To maximize growth during this new moon cycle allow
your psychic and intuitive perceptions to manifest, share compassionate
feelings for others, and help behind the scenes with institutions or social
organizations.
There are relatively few planetary aspects during this Moon cycle because
many of the planets are moving quite slowly since they are on the verge of
changing direction. Mars has just turned direct, and Mercury, Pluto, and
later Venus are about to turn retrograde. Increased Mars energy should be
noticeable, though our Mercurial mental facilities will soon slow to a crawl.
---------------------
Moon's First Quarter : Sunday 21 February - Monday 1 March
---------------------
<< Friday 26 February >>
Pluto at 23Scorpio turns retrograde today until 02August. For a few days
while Pluto is essentially stationary but about to turn retrograde it can
bring out power struggles involving matters of business finances, debts,
loans, and other major changes which are often irreversible. Don't cling to
things which are falling by the wayside. Try not to react to the inevitable
destruction of some things by making decisions which preclude future options.
If it doesn't fit in your life don't blow it up ... just blow it out of your
life.
<< Saturday 27 February >>
Today we enter a mentally blas� period as Mercury at 24Pisces turns
retrograde until 22March. When Mercury turns retrograde our communication
faculties slow down, we become more reflective, and communications in general
falter. This does not have to be such a negative period so long as you don't
try to push..push..push everything to completion. Try to allow extra time,
and be content to let things happen at their own pace. You definitely don't
want a tight schedule when Mercury is retrograde, so try to get as many
lingering responsibilities as possible resolved before today.
We should enjoy a high physical activity level which could be applied to
exercise, recreation, or manual work as the Sun at 09Pisces trines Mars at
09Cancer. Since both the Sun and Mars are in Water signs we may either
express or encounter assertive emotional responses. If we can focus our
emotions in a specific direction we may accomplish a startling amount.
---------------------
Moon's Second Quarter : Monday 1 March - Monday 8 March
---------------------
<< Saturday 6 March >>
Our mind may be racing today as Mercury at 21Pisces sextiles Uranus at
21Capricorn. This aspect stimulates quick intuitive and inventive thinking,
and enhances original dramatic expression. Inventions or discoveries are
favored in electronics, science or engineering. Try some brainstorming of
innovative new career or work ideas.
Our perceptions will be keen as Mercury at 21Pisces also sextiles Neptune
at 21Capricorn. This aspect stimulates a fertile imagination, and we may
become more than a bit dreamy. Creative writing is especially favored.
The Neptune and Uranus sextiles occur in such close priximity that the
effects of the two aspects will blend together. We experienced these same
aspects on 20February before Mercury turned direct. Something that occurred
then may be revisited now, but may not reach closure until Mercury forms
these aspects for the last time when it returns to direct motion.
---------------------
Moon's Third Quarter : Monday 8 March - Sunday 14 March
---------------------
<< Monday 8 February >>
The Moon is full today with the Moon at 17Virgo opposed to the Sun at
17Pisces. We may become overly critical, or overly sensitive, or a
combination of the two. Try to let things ride today instead of confronting
them now ...
We can enjoy more effective self-expression today as the Sun conjuncts
Mercury at 18Pisces. We will gain abundant mental energy which allows us to
pay close attention to details. A short trip may also be enjoyable now.
Pisces sensitivity will be heightened, and more easily expressed.
<< Thursday 11 February >>
Our perceptions will be keen as Mercury at 21Pisces sextiles Neptune at
21Capricorn. This aspect stimulates a fertile imagination, and we may
become more than a bit dreamy. Creative writing is especially favored.
The Sun at 21Pisces also sextiles Uranus at 21Capricorn today. This continues
to highlight practical new discoveries and useful new inventions, likely to be
work-related. The Sun-Uranus sextile may bring some mild relief from recent
tensions, and encourage the redirection of our energies into new areas.
Venus at 20Aries turns retrograde today until 22April. This is not the
best time to get married or to redecorate since we are likely to be unclear
about our values, tastes and affections. Avoid drastic cosmetic or decorative
changes such as punk hairdos, new fashions, or new furniture during this time.
Take this time to reflect on those things that you truly value, and to winnow
out things which you may have valued in the past but don't value anymore.
---------------------
Moon's Fourth Quarter : Sunday 14 March - Tuesday 23 March
---------------------
<< Monday 15 March >>
Our mind and communication faculties can be lightning quick today as Mercury
at 13Pisces trines Mars at 13Cancer. Our highly active mind should be able
to get points across easily and quickly. Agressive communications may ensue,
but disagreements are likely to be resolved smoothly through communication.
We have an opportunity to make progressive changes through increased will-
power and resourcefulness today as the Sun at 25Pisces trines Pluto at
25Scorpio. Clairvoyance is highly stimulated, and efforts at spiritual,
mental or physical self-improvement are favored. We may assume a professional
leadership role, and may benefit through insurance, inheritance, or taxes.
<< Saturday 20 March >>
The Sun enters Aries today for a stay until 19April. This marks the Vernal
Equinox and the beginning of Spring! The Aries dynamism is reflected as the
initiation of new life: flowers budding, animals mating, and people doing
all those romantic things they are known for. Keep in mind that Aries is
a Cardinal (active) Fire sign, and try to keep your cool since there may
be some people acting more inflammatory than usual.
This is actually one of the most significant Sun-sign transitions since it
signifies the culmination of one natural astrological cycle (Pisces .. natural
12th house) and the initiation of a new cycle (Aries .. natural 1st house).
This Sun-sign transition is highlighted in the following table:
Pisces Aries
---------- ----------
Duality Feminine Masculine
Element Water Fire
Quality Mutable Cardinal
Keyword 'I Believe' 'I Am'
Polarity Virgo Libra
Body Parts Feet Head
Animals Fish Ram
<< Monday 22 March >>
As Mercury turns direct over the next few days, bolster your confidence and
begin communicating more freely and succinctly, since people will tend to
understand you more quickly.
The next new moon occurs in Aries on 23March. Until then ... breathe easily
now that Mars is direct again (for _two_ years), but wrap up new developments
soon to avoid a slide when Mercury and Venus turn retrograde.

| 672.160 | Where does it all come from? | SNOC02::KYRIACOUC | | Wed Feb 24 1993 18:14 | 9 |
| Dear Todd and Lisa,
I am new to this note, so please forgive a redundant question,
but is this original stuff, or is there some publication, magazine
which is used as reference material on which your articles are
based. I have friends outside of DEC who would be interested in
gaining access to this type of information and interpretation.
Regards Chris
|
| 672.161 | It comes from all around us ... | LMOPAS::DKAS::DOLLIVER | Watching my life go by ... | Fri Feb 26 1993 12:23 | 55 |
| Hi Chris,
Most of the Astrology Watch information is certainly not original to us.
We draw from many tangible and intangible sources to produce the actual
interpretations. Lisa's mother Ada is a certified astrologer, so Lisa
was brought up with astrology. I (Todd) became interested enough at 18
to get my natal chart done by a friend of my mother's, and I have been
"watching" ever since.
We have been preparing this report for quite some time now, so we generally
have several several previous interpretations of the same aspect to filter
and review. We adjust the interpretation for the particular signs involved
or for other current astrological influences, and if a representative example
or scenario occurs to us, we include it. Exceptions include aspects such as
the current Uranus-Neptune conjunction, which we have read extensively on,
but are only now experiencing.
We feel that we are actually best at interpreting our own natal charts and
transits through them. We have extended our collection of natal charts
to include quite a few friends and relatives, and we are always "watching"
and trying to assess the effects of current transits on various people.
Since this individual analysis can't be conveyed through the Astrology Watch
reports, it sometimes seems a bit impersonal to us. However, some of our
own experiences do show up as possible aspect scenarios which can bring some
of the aspects to life a bit more.
We hope that the Astrology Watch can at least inform people of current
transits and aspects, provide relatively standard interpretations with at
least a few extras, and allow people to observe for themselves and embellish
their own understanding and interpretations. For those who know their own
natal charts, the report can also be used to determine personal transits.
We obtain the aspect position/time data primarily from Llwellyn's Astrological
Calendar, and sometimes we consult standard ephemerides. We recommend the
monthly Mountain Astrologer publication which includes high quality articles,
although they are usually too specific to include in the Astrology Watch.
Robert Hand is definitely our favorite astrologer, and we strongly recommend
his book "Planets in Transit" for anyone interested in tracking transiting
aspects to their own natal chart. We have several other books of his,
including "Planets in Youth" (which helps us understand our daughter) and
"Planets in Composite" (which helps us understand our relationships).
We also frequently reference the books "Predictive Astrology" by Frances
Sakoian, and more recently, "Astrology, A Cosmic Science" by Isabel Hickey
(both are former teachers of Lisa's mother Ada).
So, Chris ... while the interpretations are not ours alone, they also aren't
derived from any single identifiable source. We think that the Mountain
Astrologer is a good place to start, even without your own natal chart
information, although we think having your own natal chart to compare against
is the best way to begin learning astrology. Of course you are also welcome
to share the Astrology Watch with whomever you wish.
Thanks for your comments,
Todd

You guys certainly put in a big effort, and I sure you must have
a big following of silent supporters, people who actively read
what you write, but may not actually write and say thanks.
>or scenario occurs to us, we include it. Exceptions include aspects such as
>the current Uranus-Neptune conjunction, which we have read extensively on,

I originally heard of the significance of this events in other
areas, it was only after posting 1802 that Cindy directed me to
your note discussing this event. I also believe it to be highly
significant event which hopefully may lead to subtle changes in
mans collective consciousness. If it is not too much to ask do
you have more on this event?

| Mary,
Thanks again for your kind words .. we are glad that the Astrology Watch is
useful for you and others.
Chris and Marcos,
I am not sure why Marcos's question of "what happended during previous
Uranus/Neptune conjunctions" disappeared, but it is an excellent question
which may help us to understand some possible ramifications of the current
aspect. The best answer to this question that we have seen was presented in
the Feb'93 Mountain Astrologer in an article by Maya del Mar (p.44...).
It is interesting that the last Uranus/Neptune conjunction also occurred in
Capricorn in 1821, and thus may be more directly relevant to the current
conjunction than other previous conjunctions. This one could be more dramatic
however, since this is the first time that both Uranus and Neptune are known
to us during the conjunction (last time only Uranus had been discovered).
From the article .. "Capricorn has much to do with society's structures --
with such things as government, business, economics, communication,
transportation, religion, and education."
The following historical events are mentioned in the article :
1815-1825
- Rothschilds center new banking practices in the Bank of England ..
arguably the start of modern industrial capitalism
1821 - British government puts Bank of England on the gold standard on
the _day_ of the Uranus/Neptune conjunction
- Missouri admitted as a slave state ..
eventually led to Civil War
- Faraday demonstrates electromagnetic rotation
- Many Latin American countries achieved independence from Spain
(may now seek freedom from US domination?)
1822 - World's first iron railroad bridge completed
1823 - Monroe Doctrine published
621 - Islam established during this prior Uranus/Neptune conjunction
(Islam active in world events now)
There could be many more examples of far-reaching events which originated
sometime around 1821. If any historians are aware of other significant
events during this time period, it would be interesting to hear about them.

Other planetary aspects that make this big conjunction year unique
are the Saturn/Pluto squares occurring on March 19th, October 8th,
and Jan. 1994, the Chiron opposition of Saturn, and the square of
Jupiter to Uranus/Neptune.

Astrology Watch Highlights
==========================
The new moon on 23March in Aries (cardinal fire) provides us with an
opportunity to make a fresh start. Aries is the astrological new year,
and thus a time for new beginnings. Aries is ruled by Mars (desire and
aggression) and relates to 1st house concerns of ego, independence, new
ventures, self-awareness and discovery.
As a cardinal sign, Aries energies are dynamic; and as a fire sign, energy
is expressed through actions rather than through emotions (water), things
(earth), or thoughts (air). Using Aries influences, individuals can enjoy
competitive sports, new projects, and any activity that requires direct
assertiveness. We should guard against over-impulsiveness or being too
headstrong. To maximize growth during this new moon cycle initiate changes
now. This is a new chance for making New Year's resolutions, so start fresh,
develop new ideas, explore new options, and try new things.
Mercury has just barely turned direct, so over the next few days we will
begin communicating more freely and succinctly since people will tend to
understand us more quickly.
--------------------
Moon's First Quarter : Tuesday 23 March - Tuesday 30 March
--------------------
<< Thursday 25 March >>
With Venus (sensitive) in Aries (sharp) and Mars (sharp) in Cancer (sensitive)
we may be prone to a mix of mismatched overreactions today as Venus at 16Aries
squares Mars at 16Cancer. We may oscillate irregularly between mental
aggression and conciliatory self-pity, and may be prone to get involved in
fights or, more aptly, spats. Mellow out ...
---------------------
Moon's Second Quarter : Tuesday 30 March - Tuesday 6 April
---------------------
<< Tuesday 30 March >>
We should beware of dramatic overspending on purely ego-gratifying pursuits
today as the Sun at 10Aries opposes Jupiter at 10Libra. The effects of this
opposition are hard to resist (so maybe you can afford to pamper yourself just
a little bit ;-}) but if unchecked, this energy can result in a wasted day of
extravagance and exaggeration. If we don't overdo it then it should be fun!
<< Thursday 1 April >>
As the Sun conjuncts Venus retrograde at 12Aries we are likely to feel good
in a party sort of way. Our heightened fashion sense can help us to look
our best, and we may feel very desirable. This may be experienced more
internally than externally with Venus retrograde. We may express more
generosity and affection now, and our relationships are likely to reciprocate.
<< Monday 5 April >>
Indulgence, exaggeration, and wasted time are likely today as Venus
retrograde at 09Aries opposes Jupiter retrograde at 09Libra. It is likely
to be lively and indulgent, but we deserve a bit of indulgence today ;-}.
Since both planets are benefic, this opposition aspect is only slightly
troublesome, and may in fact be rather enjoyable. The opposition merely
indicates some potentially unchecked expansiveness or impulsiveness.
--------------------
Moon's Third Quarter : Tuesday 6 April - Tuesday 13 April
--------------------
<< Tuesday 6 April >>
The Moon is full today with the Moon at 17Libra opposing the Sun at 17Aries.
This cardinal Fire and Air full moon could lead to incidents of emotional
spontaneous combustion, so avoid being confrontational if you can. This may
not be easy since we may feel cornered into a combative position. Try to
utilize the reconciling abilities of Libra to smooth out disagreements.
<< Wednesday 7 April >>
Dramatic diffusion of our emotional energy may beset us today as Mars at
21Cancer opposes Neptune at 21Capricorn. This could manifest as depression,
anger, apathy, or drug abuse. Psychic channels will be overloaded, so our
discrimination of particular psychic insights may become clouded. It may
be wise to keep any nasty feelings to ourselves today.
<< Thursday 8 April >>
Our perceptions will be keen as Mercury at 21Pisces sextiles Neptune at
21Capricorn. This aspect stimulates a fertile imagination, and we may
become more than a bit dreamy. Creative writing is especially favored.
Our mind and communication faculties will also be lightning quick as Mercury
at 21Pisces trines Mars at 21Cancer. Our highly active mind should be able
to get points across easily and quickly. Aggressive communications may ensue,
but disagreements are likely to be resolved smoothly through communication.
<< Friday 9 April >>
Our mind may be racing today as Mercury at 22Pisces sextiles Uranus at
22Capricorn. This aspect stimulates quick intuitive and inventive thinking,
and enhances original dramatic expression. Inventions or discoveries are
favored in electronics, science or engineering. Try some brainstorming of
innovative new career or work ideas.
<< Saturday 10 April >>
Our struggle between the goals of home life (Cancer) and career ambitions
(Capricorn) is accentuated today by one of the most aggressive and excitable
planetary influences as Mars at 22Cancer opposes Uranus at 22Capricorn.
Arguments may erupt on this day at home or at work, with males likely to be
the most upset. Love relationships may prove to be unreliable or unfaithful.
There is a lot of energy inherent in this cardinal sign aspect, but it will
take great patience and understanding to go with the flow of changes which
it suggests.
Our energies may dissipate quickly today as the Sun at 21Aries squares
Neptune at 21Capricorn. Our body may need to take the day off today.
Depletion of our physical reserves may simply be a symptom of more general
feelings of inadequacy and lack of confidence.
<< Sunday 11 April >>
We should prepare for and beware of sudden upsets and disruptive situations
as the Sun at 22Aries squares Uranus at 22Capricorn. We desire to break
down our everyday routines today, yet we may end up taking foolhardy risks
to do so. Be extra careful today since we tend to be more accident prone.
Learn to go with the flow of disruptions, and avoid arguing or you could
make things worse.
---------------------
Moon's Fourth Quarter : Tuesday 13 April - Wednesday 21 April
---------------------
<< Tuesday 13 April >>
Events may happen quickly and catch us off guard today as the Sun at 23Aries
squares Mars at 23Cancer. Beware of accidents and pay close attention while
driving. Obstacles to self-expression can generate frustration and anger,
which could be compounded by a tendency to hold grudges. Let your anger go.
If you can regulate this aggression, you can enjoy invigorating energy and
willpower.
<< Thursday 15 April >>
Mercury reenters Aries today for a stay until 3May. With Mercury in Aries
we are likely to react with quick and aggressive mental responses. There is
an abundance of mental energy during this time, but we are more likely to act
first and think later. This is a perfect time to start a resolution to "Count
to Ten before Flaming", but it will be a very difficult period to hold to it.
<< Friday 16 April >>
We can mobilize powerful energy for rebuilding today as Mars at 25Cancer
trines Pluto at 25Scorpio. With both planets in water signs and Pluto in
Scorpio, intense emotional experiences or a profound sexual union may ensue.
<< Saturday 17 April >>
We enjoy an orderly state of mind and self-discipline which is excellent
for energetic and constructive work as the Sun at 28Aries sextiles Saturn at
28Aquarius. This aspect confers constructive ambition, good organization,
and a mature attitude. This is a very favorable time for important
communications with those in power. We are likely to make steady progress
toward goals, and enjoy an enhanced sense of dignity. Some initiative and
patience may be required in order to reap the benefits of this aspect.
<< Sunday 18 April >>
Communication within relationships is accentuated today as Mercury conjuncts
Venus at 04Aries. This is typically a rather nice light aspect, yet with this
aspect in Aries and with Venus still retrograde this aspect may promote some
inappropriately brash communication in relationships. This can be positive
for initiating new areas of communication, but we need to control potential
anger.
<< Monday 19 April >>
The Sun enters Taurus (fixed, earth) today for a stay until 20May, ushering
in the fixed portion of the Spring season. Plant or transplant your gardens
now to encourage steady growth, and sow new seeds for hardy development.
Aries has been rushing out in new directions, now Taurus sets our feet back
firmly on the ground. The following chart highlights this sun-sign transition.
Aries Taurus
---------- ----------
Duality Masculine Feminine
Element Fire Earth
Quality Cardinal Fixed
Keyword 'I Am' 'I Have'
Polarity Libra Scorpio
Body Parts Head Neck and Throat
Animals Ram Bull
<< Tuesday 20 April >>
We are apt to spend too much money on frivolous purchases or to overlook
important details today as Mercury at 07Aries opposes Jupiter at 07Libra.
We enjoy optimistic feelings, but we should be careful not to become too
cocky by relying only on our luck or we may be disappointed.
The next new Moon occurs in Taurus on April 21st. Until then ...
adopt a fresh exploratory Aries attitude to get up and get going in
new and exciting directions. Go for it!

Astrology Watch Highlights
==========================
The new moon on April 21st at 02Taurus (fixed earth) provides an opportunity
to initiate new projects on a firm and stable foundation. Since Taurus is
ruled by Venus, this could mean a new love relationship or new stability
within an existing relationship. Venus will also be turning direct soon
which may put our love life back on track.
As a fixed sign, Taurus energies are stable; and as an earth sign energy
is expressed through tangible things rather than through emotions (water),
actions (fire), or ideas (air). Using Taurean influences, individuals
can enjoy gardening, fixing up a house, practical domestic tasks, secure love
relationships, and issues relating to assets and possessions. We should
guard against becoming too closed-minded, too stubborn, or too materialistic.
To maximize growth during this new moon cycle we should till soil and sow
seeds in our physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual gardens, thus
initiating germination of earthy and practical beginnings which can yield
future hardy growth. The same applies for flower or vegetable gardens.
During this moon cycle Neptune and Uranus both turn retrograde until
September. This sets the stage for the second of three Uranus-Neptune
conjunctions, this one in retrograde motion.
--------------------
Moon's First Quarter : Wednesday 21 April - Thursday 29 April
--------------------
<< Thursday 22 April >>
We can resume buying fashionable items which are likely to reflect better
taste now as Venus at 03Aries returns to direct motion. In Aries there is
a tendency for impulsive purchases, so give Venus a few days to move direct
before making major purchases, especially of mechanical, electronic, or
sports equipment. Love relationships and partnerships should improve and
become more energetic, although possibly a bit harsh.
Neptune at 21Capricorn turns retrograde today until 30September. This
transit accentuates our internal conflicts between dreams versus practicality.
We need to use and cultivate our imagination even in opposition to practical
issues, and we need to get our affairs in order. Many things which have been
kept concealed for a long time may be exposed as Neptune turns retrograde.
<< Monday 26 April >>
Uranus turns retrograde today at 22Capricorn until 27September. During
this period our organization and self-discipline, though well-meaning, may
falter. There is a need to accept practical responsibilities. If they
are not dealt with effectively then sudden events may disrupt our life which
require change and adaptability.
<< Thursday 27 April >>
Today Mars enters Leo (fixed fire) for a stay until 23June. This is a hot
one, so get out your tanning lotion ;-}. During this transit we will gain
lots of energy and will become much more impulsive and enthusiastic compared
to the conservatism and emotional strain we are experiencing now with Mars in
Cancer. If we can discipline and harness our passion and energy, and avoid
the pitfalls of arrogance, then we can make dramatic leaps of progress, and
we can even have a great time doing it! This is an excellent time to throw
parties or to pursue any kind of playful or sporting activity that you enjoy.
<< Wednesday 28 April >>
Our practical thinking may become deluded as Mercury at 21Aries squares
Neptune at 21Capricorn. We may have difficulty arriving at any definitive
conclusions, yet this aspect can be good for more creative thinking.
---------------------
Moon's Second Quarter : Thursday 29 April - Wednesday 5 May
---------------------
<< Thursday 28 April >>
Our minds may be stimulated with exciting new ideas as Mercury at 22Aries
squares Uranus at 22Capricorn. We may become bored or nervous, or have
difficulty concentrating on daily tasks. Established plans may not work
out as intended, so try to remain flexible.
<< Monday 3 May >>
Our capacity for organization is enhanced as Mercury at 29Aries sextiles
Saturn at 29Aquarius. This aspect encourages us to leave nothing to chance.
Carefully recording your dreams today may yield additional insights.
Mercury enters Taurus today for a stay until 18May. During this time our
thinking will be practical and deliberate. A danger of this Mercury placement
is mental complacency, yet careful planning and patience are supported, and
real-estate transactions are favored. We are likely to engage in practical
down-to-earth communications, yet we may retain fixed mental attitudes.
Our attention turns towards what we value. We may experience a short period
of mental confusion as Mercury changes signs.
Indulgence, exaggeration, and wasted time are likely today as Venus at
06Aries opposes Jupiter at 06Libra. Our relationships will be highlighted
and can be more rewarding. We may indulge a bit today, but we deserve it ;-}.
Since both planets are benefic, this opposition aspect is only slightly
troublesome, and may in fact be rather enjoyable. The opposition merely
indicates some potentially unchecked expansiveness or impulsiveness.
--------------------
Moon's Third Quarter : Wednesday 5 May - Thursday 13 May
--------------------
<< Wednesday 5 May >>
The moon is full tonight with the Moon at 15Scorpio opposing the Sun at
15Taurus. This fixed-sign full moon could lead to stubborness and
entrenchment in fixed views without accepting input from others. Keeping
an open mind and avoiding painting yourself into a corner with fixed ideas
will pay off later in the week as the Moon enters free-thinking Sagittarius.
Touchy challenges in communications and small disagreements in relationships
may lead to an impasse as Mercury at 03Taurus squares Mars at 03Leo.
Troublesome delays may disrupt our party plans. Drive defensively.
<< Sunday 9 May >>
We should try to expand our abilities to satisfy our desires today as Mars
at 05Leo sextiles Jupiter at 05Lib. We may find that luck is with us if
we expend the effort to try. This aspect is excellent for positive and
optimistic action on new projects.
<< Tuesday 11 May >>
Psychic energy is heightened today as the Sun at 21Taurus trines Neptune
at 21Capricorn. There is great potential for creating tangible results using
our imagination. Insights may be practical, yet daydreaming is likely. This
aspect can create a powerful climate for positive action and long-term change.
<< Wednesday 8 May >>
Intuitive, original, and eccentric actions are encouraged today as the Sun
at 22Taurus trines Uranus at 22Capricorn. We are likely to express a strong
desire for independence. Practical science and electronics are favored.
---------------------
Moon's Fourth Quarter : Thursday 13 May - Wednesday 21 May
---------------------
<< Thursday 13 May >>
This is an excellent time for practical creativity and our imaginative powers
as Mercury at 21Taurus trines Neptune at 21Capricorn. We may achieve harmony
through creative pursuits, or we may just enjoy daydreaming today.
<< Friday 14 May >>
We may feel bright and alert today as Mercury at 22Taurus trines Uranus at
22Capricorn. We can generate ambitious new ideas relying upon conservative
ground-work, and some of our inventions or discoveries may be surprising or
even startling. Science and health discoveries are emphasized.
Remain flexible today as the Sun at 24Taurus opposes Pluto at 24Scorpio.
This aspect may indicate trouble with friends, lovers or authority figures
due to stubborness and not allowing others to have their say. Secrets may
come out due to the ego and honesty of the Sun opposing the secrecy and
keep-everything-under-wraps attitude of Pluto in Scorpio. If you make the
mistake of making someone really angry today (by revealing their secrets!?!),
then they may remember it for a very long time.
<< Wednesday 15 May >>
Keep an open mind to revolutionary ideas today as Mercury at 24Taurus
opposes Pluto at 24Scorpio. Upsetting events may occur, possibly during
travel, which force a reform of our regular thought structures, but we may
have needed a bit of adjustment. We can delve to the roots of problems,
but attempts to persuade others could result in conflicts.
There is apt to be alot of active practical work or health related
communications today as the Sun conjuncts Mercury at 25Virgo. The influences
are excellent for starting new projects, especially if they pertain to health
issues or work methods. We may also enjoy a touch of self-confident optimism.
<< Monday 17 May >>
Our mental ideas and thinking patterns may face obstructions which can lead
us into a depressive turn of mind today as Mercury at 29Taurus squares Saturn
at 29Aquarius. Travel arrangements may also face some snags, and we may
just feel generally down in the dumps.
<< Tuesday 18 May >>
Mercury enters its own sign Gemini today for a stay until 01June. With
Mercury in Gemini our thinking is active and versatile yet scattered, and
we may be very humorous and witty. Our thoughts may be flighty, making
concentration on a single goal difficult, yet we may be able to make progress
on several tasks in parallel. Manual and verbal dexterity is enhanced.
Mercury in talkative, quick-thinking Gemini is great for learning new things
or adapting to new ways of thinking.
<< Thursday 20 May >>
Our mental outlook is looking up today with optimistic viewpoints as Mercury
at 05Gemini trines Jupiter at 05Libra. This aspect may be accompanied by
job opportunities for interesting and rewarding work, or promotions. At this
time communications are smooth and philosophically minded. We demonstrate a
good balance between attention to detail versus grasp of the comprehensive
view. Health may improve through relaxation or excercise. This aspect is
favorable for study, writing, teaching, interacting with the communications
media, or travel related to philosophy, religion, or higher education.
Our egos may be impeded or our energies may be worn down today as the Sun
at 29 Taurus squares Saturn at 29Aquarius. Any issues we force are likely to
result in equal force opposition ... or possibly unaffected or immovable
opposition since the square is in fixed signs. Try to remain low-key to
avoid the negative expressions of this aspect.
The Sun transitions from Taurus (fixed earth) to Gemini (mutable air) today
for a stay until 21June, ushering in the mutable or changable portion of the
Spring season. The following chart highlights this sun-sign transition.
Taurus Gemini
---------- ----------
Duality Feminine Masculine
Element Earth Air
Quality Fixed Mutable
Keyword 'I Have' 'I Think'
Polarity Scorpio Sagittarius
Body Parts Neck,Throat Hands,Arms,Lungs
Animals Cattle Bright birds, butterflies
The Sun in Gemini indicates a more mental and somewhat scattered energy which
is expressed through the communication of ideas, compared to the stable and
grounded energy associated with the Sun in Taurus. Gemini is known for
superficiality, but also for intellect, wit, charm, and twins.
Saturn enters Pisces today for just a brief peek before retrograding back
into Aquarius on 30June. Saturn in Pisces can lead to confusion regarding
our subconscious foundations and motivations. We may express self-critical
emotional judgements, and may limit ourselves through drug abuse or through
self-imposed subconscious restrictions. We may be faced with emotionally
sensitive responsibilities. We may be more attuned to our subconscious,
allowing more complete creative or intuitive expression through art or music.
While this transit can be a bit difficult, we are getting an opportunity to
get used to it for a short time now, so that we are more prepared when
Saturn moves into Pisces for two+ years starting next year. We can avoid
alot of the pitfalls of this transit by giving ourselves (and others) a
break, and facing our emotional responsibilities directly and maturely.
The next new Moon occurs in Gemini on May 21st. Until then ... establish
your personal stability through Taurean influences, and attend or throw
as many parties as you can since with Mars in Leo and Mercury in Aries
they may be fun and exciting.

==========================
The new moon on 21May in Gemini (mutable air) provides an opportunity to
develop objectivity and to engage in copious communications. Gemini is ruled
by Mercury which enhances our spoken, written, and acted expressions, and can
stimulate travel. Many will feel like talking, and a few may even listen ;-}.
As a mutable sign, Gemini energies fluctuate; and as an air sign energy is
expressed through ideas or communications (air) rather than emotions (water),
actions (fire), or things (earth). Using Gemini influences we can enjoy
objectivity, flexibility, versatility and wit. Guard against becoming too
nervous and edgy, or too talkative when there is little of substance to say.
To maximize growth during this new moon cycle we should stress honesty, and
should encourage ourselves and others to talk about feelings and attitudes.
The partial solar eclipse and total lunar eclipse will accentuate the effects
of this moon cycle.
--------------------
Moon's First Quarter : Friday 21 May - Friday 28 May
--------------------
<< Monday 24 May >>
Action-oriented communications and travel are favored today as Mercury at
13Gemini sextiles Mars at 13Leo. The regal attitudes of Mars in Leo may
combine with Gemini desirous flirtations and lead us to flirt too blatantly.
<< Tuesday 25 May >>
This should be an optimistic and happy day or two as the Sun at 05Gemini
trines Jupiter retrograde at 05Libra. With both in Air signs our mental and
intellectual abilities will get a boost. With Jupiter currently retrograde
we may end up a bit over-extended, but we should still take this aspect and
run with it! Throw a party, or at least attend one. This aspect is also
favorable for completing home renovations which never quite got finished.
<< Wednesday 26 May >>
Avoid indulgences and self-pity today as Venus at 21Aries squares Neptune at
21Capricorn. Beware of being swept into depression and emotional confusion.
Watch the road carefully, don't daydream while driving.
<< Thursday 27 May >>
We may seek excitement in love relationships, even to the point of provoking
fights today, as Venus at 22Aries squares Uranus at 22Capricorn. Patience is
demanded, yet Venus in Aries must struggle to be patient with anything. Don't
flirt too much today or you may provoke a major confrontation with someone you
love. Try to keep a lid on impulsive spending since the excitement of buying
will pass long before the bills are paid ;-}.
---------------------
Moon's Second Quarter : Friday 28 May - Friday 4 June
---------------------
<< Friday 28 May >>
Mercury at 22Gemini sextiles Venus at 22Aries today. This mild aspect
between inner planets has a relatively brief effect of making us feel pretty
good. It can allow us to communicate effectively and frankly about likes
and dislikes, especially regarding fashion and decorating ideas.
<< Monday 31 May >>
Jupiter at 04Libra returns to direct motion ushering in a more expansive
and optimistic phase in the development of our philosophies and attitudes.
This aspect will take a week or so to get going, but will be conducive to
the initiation of new relationships, or mending of old ones. Justice and
fairness will prevail.
<< Tuesday 1 June >>
We may find our communications miss the mark a bit (like a brief Mercury
retrograde period) as Mercury transits from Gemini to Cancer, where it will
stay until 10August. With Mercury in Cancer our thoughts will be strongly
affected by emotions. We are apt to have clouded communications which are
highly subjective, yet we can be very empathetic and nurturing.
<< Wednesday 2 June >>
Practical and responsible thought patterns are enhanced today as Mercury at
00Cancer trines Saturn at 11Pisces. Our powers of concentration and self-
control are increased, but overtaxing our brains could lead to depression.
--------------------
Moon's Third Quarter : Friday 4 June - Saturday 12 June
--------------------
<< Friday 4 June >>
The full moon is exact today with a total lunar eclipse as the Moon at
14Sagittarius opposes the Sun at 14Gemini. This could make for a wild
and crazy time of flirting and conversation which is open to the point
of bluntness or crudeness. If we keep our own sense of humor and allow
a bit of latitude for other people's humor, then it can be a lot of fun.
We can bolster optimistic attitudes towards long-range goals today as Mercury
at 05Cancer squares Jupiter at 05Libra. This aspect can be favorable, and
at this time we may grasp the whole picture and think in big, ideal, abstract
terms. We may be sloppy with details, however, and may be inclined to
overlook important details which conflict with larger plans.
<< Sunday 6 June >>
Venus enters its own sign Taurus this afternoon for a stay until 05July.
This transit is a pleasant one, and the fixed sign influence can lend
stability to our love relationships. Artistry and love are viewed in a more
possesive and security-minded way, with a more practical and serious approach.
Practice, study, and earthy sensuality are favored.
We may be able to bring a new sense of structure and order to broken
relationships as Venus at 00Taurus sextiles Saturn at 00Pisces. This is
an excellent time to sit down and arrive at a conscious understanding of
what each person expects from the other in a relationship. Venus sextile
Saturn favors tasks requiring thoroughness and attention to detail.
<< Tuesday 10 June >>
Tonight Saturn at 00Pisces turns retrograde until 27October. This can
cause inner doubts regarding one's sense of worth, and we may have some
difficulty expressing ourselves in groups due to introversion. However,
during this period of inner reconsolidation we can create a new foundation
for future personal growth.
<< Friday 11 June >>
This is a challenging time for creatively transforming the world around us as
Mars at 23Leo squares Pluto at 23Scorpio. Power struggles and disagreements
may ensue. Energy levels are high and this aspect arouses ambition, but be
careful of arousing opposition in the people you confront, because it may be
fierce. Don't act ruthlessly or underhandedly toward others no matter how
angry you become. Avoid dangerous places and activities.
---------------------
Moon's Fourth Quarter : Saturday 12 June - Saturday 19 June
---------------------
<< Wednesday 16 June >>
We may encounter disillusionment and hazy thinking as Mercury at 20Cancer
opposes Neptune at 20Capricorn. This can be great for creative endeavors
and imaginative work, but try not to daydream too much or your insights may
never see the light of our concensus reality :-}.
<< Thursday 17 June >>
We may become mentally stimulated handling conflicting interests of home
and work as Mercury at 21Cancer opposes Uranus at 21Capricorn. This can
be an erratic mental period, but do not oppose suggested changes outright.
Consider and adopt new ideas in the home or at work. We may wonder if we
are going a bit crazy today, but don't worry ... everybody is :-)
<< Friday 18 June >>
Get off of your butt and stretch your muscles today as the Sun at 27Gemini
sextiles Mars at 27Leo. This sextile is favorable for almost any action-
oriented or athletic activity. We may enjoy short trips and communications.
We are likely to be in a self-assertive mood, and physical activity can
strengthen our constitution.
The next new Moon occurs in Gemini on June 19th. This is the second new moon
in a row in Gemini, and is thus a true astrological blue moon. Until then ...
take advantage of Mars in Leo by keeping a partying spirit, and use the Gemini
influences to extend your intellectual and travel pursuits in numerous new and
exciting directions.

==========================
The second new moon in a row in Gemini (mutable air) on 19Jun provides
further opportunities to develop objectivity and to engage in stimulating
communications. Gemini is ruled by Mercury which enhances our spoken,
written, and acted expressions, and can stimulate travel.
As a mutable sign, Gemini energies fluctuate; and as an air sign energy is
expressed through ideas or communications (air) rather than emotions (water),
actions (fire), or things (earth). Using Gemini influences we can enjoy
objectivity, flexibility, versatility and wit. Since this new moon occurs
so close to the cusp of Cancer (29Gem), it is likely that communications
during this new moon cycle will become much more emotional, and may concern
home and family. Guard against becoming too nervous and edgy, or too
talkative when there is little of substance to say. To maximize growth
during this new moon cycle we should stress honesty, and should encourage
ourselves and others to talk about our feelings and sensitivities.
--------------------
Moon's First Quarter : Saturday 19 June - Saturday 26 June
--------------------
<< Saturday 19 June >>
We may be struck by some highly penetrating and profound ideas as Mercury at
23Cancer trines Pluto at 23Scorpio. This is an excellent day for inventions
and discoveries. It also favors long range planning and insightful thoughts
of future reforms or changes.
<< Monday 21 June >>
The Sun transitions from Gemini to Cancer today until 22July, initiating the
active portion of the Summer season. This marks the the Summer Solstice, when
the Sun reaches its Northernmost apparent angle of declination, and shines for
the longest daylight period of the year (in the Northern Hemisphere). The
following chart highlights this sun-sign transition.

The Sun in Cancer indicates an active emotional and often moody energy which
is expressed through feelings, as compared to the mental and scattered energy
associated with the Sun in Gemini. Cancer is known for sensitivity, concern
over home and family, nurturing, dependence, and martyrdom.
Gains may be achieved through hard and disciplined work today as the Sun at
00Cancer trines Saturn at 00Pisces. This is a serious day for getting much
work accomplished and fulfilling obligations, especially emotional ones.
<< Wednesday 23 June >>
Mars enters Virgo today for a stay until 11August. Physical or male-
oriented aggressive energies (Mars) will be more favorably expressed when
directed towards attention to detail and service to others (Virgo).
Practicality, prudence and thoroughness are required. People are apt to
be a bit nervous and high-strung.
We may feel frustration concerning the pursuit of our ambitions, and our
aggressive energies may be restricted today as Mars at 00Virgo opposes Saturn
at 00Pisces. We may feel tired and run-down, so take good care of yourself.
---------------------
Moon's Second Quarter : Saturday 26 June - Saturday 3 July
---------------------
<< Saturday 26 June >>
Creative expression inspired by dreams is favored today as Venus at
20Taurus trines Neptune at 20Capricorn. Warm compassion and highly
idealistic love can combine to create a misty romantic atmosphere.
<< Sunday 27 June >>
Exciting new love interests may arise today as Venus at 21Taurus trines
Uranus at 21Capricorn. Science or art may figure in the excitement.
Mild personal problems arising from hypocrisy, extravagance, and inflated
self-importance are indicated today as the Sun at 06Cancer squares Jupiter
at 06Libra. While the effects of this square are not severe, it can lead
to overexpansion, foolish optimism, and waste. We may feel a bit on the
slow side today, and just taking it easy may be the theme for today. We have
a tendency to adhere to dogmatic views which may cause problems in romantic,
social, or business situations. Gambling is unwise at this time, and charity
may be tinged with a desire for personal recognition and praise. The
'antidote' for most of these negative expressions is to maintain a more
objective and philosophical perspective.
<< Tuesday 29 June >>
The challenge today is to transform romantic inspirations into a more
stable form as Venus at 23Taurus opposes Pluto at 23Scorpio. This opposition
can lead to excessive jealousy, controlling of others, or allowing others to
control you. The stubbornness inherent in this opposition in fixed signs
suggests wisdom in the avoidance of head-to-head conflict today.
<< Wednesday 30 June >>
Today marks the transition of Saturn from a brief stay in Pisces retrograde
back into Aquarius for the final time, where Saturn remains until 28Jan1994.
With Saturn in Aquarius our mental concentrative abilities tend more toward
a well-organized, impersonal, idealistic, and scientific framework. Concern
for impartial truth may become paramount, and some of us may be able to set
aside the ego allowing us to see all issues, social or scientific, in the
light of impartial universal law. Mental ambition, original scientific
discoveries, and the new application of scientific knowledge will blossom.
Our ability to visualize form and structure (especially geometric forms)
will be enhanced, along with mathematical abilities. Saturn in Aquarius
also imparts 11th house connotations of responsibilities related to groups,
organizations, institutions, and friendships.
<< Thursday 1 July >>
Mercury turns retrograde at 28Cancer today until 25July. When Mercury is
retrograde our communication faculties slow down, we become more reflective,
and communications in general falter. Try to allow extra time, and be content
to let things happen at their own pace. Don't make your schedule too tight
for this period, as there will likely be unforeseen delays. Be careful what
you say or write due to inevitable misinterpretations. Do not expect anyone
to understand your idioms or inuendos. Due to miscommunications on all levels,
this is _not_ a good time to sign contracts. This _is_ a good time for
reassessing old ideas but not so good for initiating new ideas since you may
not be accurately grasping the context. Reconsider ideas which seem inspired.
--------------------
Moon's Third Quarter : Saturday 3 July - Sunday 11 July
--------------------
<< Saturday 3 July >>
The moon is full today with the Moon at 12Capricorn opposite the Sun
at 12Cancer. Career or work concerns may lead to over-sensitivity or
insecurity. If we can restrain from responding and try to establish our
emotional stability we may deal with problems more effectively when the
Moon enters Aquarius on Monday.
Later today, Mercury at 28Cancer sextiles Venus at 28Taurus. This mild
aspect between inner planets has a relatively brief effect of making us feel
pretty good. It can allow us to communicate effectively about likes and
dislikes, especially regarding fashion and decorating ideas or emotionally
intense experiences. Mercury retrograde could disrupt this aspect a bit.
<< Monday 5 July >>
We may be able to bring a new sense of structure and order to broken
relationships as Venus at 29Taurus squares Saturn at 29Aquarius. This can
be an excellent time to sit down and arrive at a conscious understanding
of what each person expects from the other in a relationship. We may feel
a burden of responsibility which requires significant effort on our part.
We will feel a shift in our values and relationships as Venus enters Gemini
for a stay until 01August. During this transit we will tend to place more
value on ideas and intellectual pursuits. We are interested in establishing
friendships, but will stay somewhat on the surface instead of getting deeply
involved. Conversation can be witty, and generally interpersonal relations
are lighter and more enjoyable. Our values are changeable, and we are
flexible enough to change our viewpoints. This applies to our love life too
as Venus in Gemini can be associated with multiple or fickle love interests.
---------------------
Moon's Fourth Quarter : Sunday 11 July - Monday 19 July
---------------------
<< Sunday 11 July >>
Confusion and uncertainty accompanied by a fear of self-assertion may
overwhelm us as the Sun at 19Cancer opposes Neptune at 19Capricorn. Avoid
playing the victim or martyr today, but instead reflect on your self. This
aspect can yield powerful insights and artistic initiative, but be sure to
check back with reality to verify that the insights are feasible to pursue.
We may heartily enjoy a lazy daydream today ;-}
<< Monday 12 July >>
Be careful today and keep a watch out for accidents as the Sun at 20Cancer
opposes Uranus at 20Capricorn. This aspect can bring restlessness and
surprising events. Business activities (Capricorn) may undergo radical
revisions. A conflict between home life (Cancer) and career ambitions
(Capricorn) could shock us into action.
We may become romantically inclined today as Venus at 07Gemini trines
Jupiter at 07Libra ... one of the most positive astrological aspects.
This aspect could enable us to break out from restrictive influences and
construct a new foundation for our affectional interests. Venus trine
Jupiter is also excellent for a bit of redecorating around the home or office.
Artistic endeavors involving music or art are likely to give you pleasure and
turn out well due to the great creative potential. This is a time when we may
finally receive deserved rewards which were previously earned, and when we are
likely to demonstrate more benevolence toward others.
<< Wednesday 14 July >>
We may be struck by some highly penetrating and profound ideas as Mercury at
23Cancer trines Pluto at 23Scorpio. This is an excellent day for inventions
and discoveries. It also favors long range planning and insightful thoughts
of future reforms or changes.
There is apt to be alot of sensitive talking about feelings as the Sun
conjuncts Mercury at 22Cancer. The influences are excellent for starting
new projects, especially if they pertain to home and family, mom, or plants.
This aspect will impart clear thinking concerning emotions (Cancer).
<< Thursday 15 July >>
We will find extra stamina and will-power today in our efforts to reform
ourselves or others as the Sun at 23Cancer trines Pluto at 23Scorpio.
Much positive restructuring energy is activated by this aspect, which may
also be expressed as intense or profound sexuality. This aspect can lead
to reforms of our use of power, but it may require some closely held yet
unnecessary aspects of ourselves to fall away.
<< Monday 19 July >>
We may become mentally stimulated handling conflicting interests of home
and work as Mercury at 20Cancer opposes Uranus at 20Capricorn. This can
be an erratic mental period, but do not oppose suggested changes outright.
Consider and adopt new ideas in the home or at work. We may wonder if we
are going a bit crazy today, but don't worry ... everybody is :-)
We may encounter disillusionment and hazy thinking as Mercury at 19Cancer
opposes Neptune at 19Capricorn. This can be great for creative endeavors
and imaginative work, but try not to daydream too much or your insights may
never see the light of our concensus reality :-}.
The next new Moon occurs in Cancer on July 19th. Until then, nurture
yourself and your family members with open communications, reconcile some
potentially conflicting demands of work, and prepare ahead by cleaning up
lingering issues before Mercury turns retrograde.

Astrology Watch Highlights
==========================
The new moon on 19July in Cancer energizes our home environment and
emphasizes emotional and family issues. Cancer also encourages the
fertility and germination of our ideas and goals. Cancer enjoys a
hearty meal fully, although rich foods may overstay their welcome and
be retained as a bit of extra weight around the belly.
Cancer is ruled by the Moon and accentuates sensitive feelings, mother,
home and family. Cancer tends to have a soft emotional under-belly, so
while nurturing of others is enhanced, we should also nurture ourselves
and our own emotional roots during this moon cycle. With the career
struggles affecting us strongly from Capricorn planets, self-nurturing
is even more valuable now.
As a cardinal sign, Cancer energies are in motion; and as a water sign the
energy is expressed through emotions (water) rather that through ideas (air),
actions (fire), or things (earth). Using Cancer influences, we can improve
home and family conditions, and open up our inner feelings. We should guard
against becoming too moody or withdrawing into a protective crab-like shell.
To maximize growth during this new moon cycle we should emphasize family
matters, nurture loved ones (including ourselves!), and start simply enjoying
ourselves more as the Sun enters Leo (try cooking up a suntan ;-}).
The second of three Uranus-Neptune conjunctions occurs soon after the next
new Moon. This conjunction will have both planets in retrograde motion, and
may indicate the external undoing or internal reconciliation phase of major
changes which will be initiated at the third conjunction later this year.
--------------------
Moon's First Quarter : Monday 19 July - Sunday 25 July
--------------------
<< Monday 19 July >>
We may become mentally stimulated handling conflicting interests of home
and work as Mercury at 20Cancer opposes Uranus at 20Capricorn. This can
be an erratic mental period, but do not oppose suggested changes outright.
Consider and adopt new ideas in the home or at work. We may wonder if we
are going a bit crazy today, but don't worry ... everybody is :-)
We may encounter disillusionment and hazy thinking as Mercury at 19Cancer
opposes Neptune at 19Capricorn. This can be great for creative endeavors
and imaginative work, but try not to daydream too much or your insights may
never see the light of our concensus reality :-}. With the new moon today
on top of these two retrograde Mercury aspects it will be challenging to
communicate clearly.
<< Tuesday 20 July >>
We may be prone to either sensitive (Venus) or sharp (Mars) overreactions
today as Venus at 16Gemini squares Mars at 16Virgo. We may oscillate
irregularly between mental aggression and conciliatory self-pity, and may
be prone to get involved in fights or, more aptly, spats. Mellow out ...
<< Thursday 22 July >>
The Sun transitions from Cancer to Leo today, where it will stay until
22August. This is the Sun's natural sign (Sun rules Leo) and is thus
the highlight of the year for the expression of ego and personality (Sun).
This can lead to a regal/royal and potentially arrogant attitude, yet it does
not hold quite so much egotism as it sounds since Leo also imparts great
generosity, playfulness, and affection towards children. The following
chart highlights this sun-sign transition.

Duality Feminine Masculine

---------------------
Moon's Second Quarter : Sunday 25 July - Monday 2 August
---------------------
<< Sunday 25 July >>
Our intuitive and imaginative faculties will be stimulated today as Mars at
19Virgo trines Neptune at 19Capricorn. At this time, we are more likely to
understand what has to be done and how to go about doing it. We can
experience harmony through the expression of deeper desires. This aspect is
excellent for energetic expression of creativity through performings arts,
dancing, or spiritual healing.
Mercury at 18Cancer turns to direct motion today which will gradually
allow communications to flow more smoothly, and will reduce the effects
of distractive interruptions.
<< Monday 26 July >>
We may be motivated to provide physical energy and work to act on our ideas
as Mars at 20Virgo trines Uranus at 20Capricorn. We may experience impulsive
and explosive urges, so try to channel aggressiveness into constructive
pursuits. Mars trine Uranus indicates that we may be motivated to provide
physical energy and work to implement ideas. This aspect can indicate
innovative or erratic actions, or unforeseen breakthroughs in scientific
endeavors. Also, this aspect is exemplified by stubborn willpower, courage,
unique accomplishments, and nervous energies. This may be your day to
be a hero ;-}.
<< Friday 30 July >>
We may again encounter disillusionment and hazy thinking as Mercury at
19Cancer opposes Neptune at 19Capricorn as it did on 19July, but this time
Mercury is in direct motion. As on 19July, we may also become mentally
stimulated as Mercury at 20Cancer opposes Uranus at 20Capricorn. We may
be quite erratic, but may be able to resolve issues raised on 19July.
<< Saturday 31 July >>
There is a possibility for powerful actions to effectively reform or
regenerate things today as Mars at 22Virgo sextiles Pluto at 22Scorpio.
Any reorganization changes made now may be irreversible. We may feel that
our goals are sublime and our actions are somehow preordained. There are
deep emotions at work here, and they may find expression in profound sexual
experiences. We may feel great strength both physically and emotionally,
although with the sextile aspect we may have to initiate some action on our
own volition in order to get the juices flowing.
We can gain inner strength with personal relationships today as Venus at
28Gemini trines Saturn at 28Aquarius. Friendships and love relationships
can gain mental stability on a more secure and honest communicative
foundation. Also, Gemini wit can lighten up the harmonious yet potentially
serious discussions.
<< Sunday 1 August >>
Emotional issues will come to the fore as Venus enters Cancer for a stay
until 27August. During this transit higher value is placed on relationships,
emotions, feminine issues, concerns with mother, caring, and nurturing.
We are apt to feel more affectionate, and to require affection more often.
We may become possessive or clinging in love relationships and friendships
(those crab's claws can grab and hold for a long time :-}). We can enjoy
home-cooked food and things which make our home cozy and comfortable.
Our ego drives will get energized as the Sun at 10Leo sextiles Jupiter at
10Libra. With a bit of internal bolstering we can become brimming with
boisterous self-confidence and optimism. This aspect can also bring good
luck, and things planned today should work out well. It is also a good
day for group participation activities or philosophical pursuits.
--------------------
Moon's Third Quarter : Monday 2 August - Tuesday 10 August
--------------------
<< Monday 2 August >>
The full moon occurs this morning with the Moon at 10Aquarius opposed
the Sun at 10Leo. If we can avoid trying to be a know-it-all, we may
be able to accomplish a great deal today.
The first of the retrograde outer planets gradually shifts its emphasis from
the internalized energies to an externalized expression today as Pluto turns
from retrograde to direct motion at 22Scorpio. Far-reaching Pluto reforms
which have been in the works for some time may take shape soon, and may shake
us up if we are not prepared to leave unnecessary attachments behind.
<< Wednesday 4 August >>
We may be struck by some highly penetrating and profound ideas as Mercury at
22Cancer trines Pluto at 22Scorpio. This is an excellent day for inventions
and discoveries. It also favors long range planning and insightful thoughts
of future reforms or changes.
<< Sunday 8 August >>
Action-oriented communications and travel are favored today as Mercury at
28Cancer sextiles Mars at 28Virgo. It may be a good day to head to the beach.
---------------------
Moon's Fourth Quarter : Tuesday 10 August - Tuesday 17 August
---------------------
<< Tuesday 10 August >>
We may have a few communications lapses as Mercury enters Leo for a stay
until 26August. During this Mercury transit we can develop a more creative
mental outlook and more dramatic expression of our ideas. Guard against a
tendency to be over-opinionated or arrogant.
<< Wednesday 11 August >>
Mars enters Libra tonight for a stay until 26September. During this transit
there may be conflicts with neighbors or relatives, yet there is great
potential for cooperative energies to accomplish a great deal. People may
identify too strongly with their beliefs, and simple disagreement may be
interpreted as a challenge to personal beliefs. People may tend to be
argumentative, so be careful not to get involved in pointless arguments.
This can be a good time to "sell" new ideas, so long as you don't attack
others with them, and an excellent time for vigorous and diligent mental work.
We needn't expect any serious problems as Venus at 11Cancer squares Jupiter
at 11Libra, yet we may experience personal let-downs of an emotional nature.
This aspect may bring out cruder mannerisms lacking in social grace, and
we may procrastinate and waste time on unproductive pursuits.
<< Sunday 15 August >>
Power clashes with those in authority may arise today as the Sun at 22Leo
squares Pluto at 22Scorpio. With the Sun in Leo it is likely that a matter
of pride or principle could initiate a power clash. Watch your temper and
hold your sharp tongue today.
<< Tuesday 17 August >>
Our thinking is clear and sharp today, and our intellectual curiosity is
heightened as Mercury at 13Leo sextiles Jupiter at 13Libra. We may be able
to more readily grasp a clear understanding of the overall patterns of life.
We are likely to be in a bit of a fog today with confusion and deception
over our relationships as Venus at 19Cancer opposes Neptune at 19Capricorn.
Try not to be too idealistic, or to become lost in daydreams or drugs.
Psychic faculties are heightened, but impressions may be hazy or we may fool
ourselves by coloring our impressions with what we WANT to see. We may thus
be deceived by a friend or lover. We enjoy romance, but it may not be real.
Conflicts between our need for love versus our need for freedom are
highlighted today as Venus at 19Cancer opposes Uranus at 19Capricorn.
We may feel a need for intimacy and closeness, but also a fear of being
smothered. This aspect can be very confusing for love relationships, and
may lead to an abrupt ending of an existing relationship, or to an exciting
beginning of a new relationship (which is unfortunately not likely to last
long). The effects of this aspect may manifest as conflicts between home
life (Cancer) and career ambitions (Capricorn).
The next new Moon occurs in Leo on August 17th. Until then, nurture yourself
and your family members, reconcile some potentially conflicting demands of
work, and prepare yourself for some hot and fun times coming when the Sun
enters it's own sign Leo.

Astrology Watch Highlights
==========================
The new moon on 17August in Leo (fixed, fire) provides an opportunity
to really have some summer fun. This sign relates to the 5th house (Leo)
activities of partying, appreciation of pleasures, affection towards
children, and also imparts a generous attitude. Leo is ruled by the Sun
so there is involvement of the personality/ego with potential for excessive
vanity. Sun-worshippers are in their element and male energies are
emphasized. Leo is fun-loving and playful, but be careful not to tease
the lion or it may turn against you.
As a fixed sign, Leo energies are stable; and as a fire sign the energy is
expressed through actions (fire) rather that through ideas (air), emotions
(water), or things (earth). As a Fixed sign, Leo energies are stable yet may
be stubborn. Using Leo influences, we can enjoy vacations and recreational
activities, play with our children, and express ourselves with ease and pride.
You should guard against too much drama, self-importance, exaggeration or
boasting. To maximize growth during this moon cycle enjoy love affairs,
play, have fun, and shine, shine, shine ;-}.
This moon cycle is dominated by the second of three Uranus-Neptune
conjunctions on 19August. This aspect marks 1993 as a pivotal astrological
year which initiates a new 171 cycle for these two planets. The effects and
implications of this planetary alignment may be subtle and not immediately
apparent, yet the effects are pervasive. This second conjunction corresponds
roughly with the midpoint of the year-long period when these planets are
within one degree of each other. The impact is long-term, and may eventually
result in a subtle yet pervasive alteration of our collective psyche.
--------------------
Moon's First Quarter : Tuesday 17 August - Tuesday 24 August
--------------------
<< Tuesday 17 August >>
Our thinking is clear and sharp today, and our intellectual curiosity is
heightened as Mercury at 12Leo sextiles Jupiter at 12Libra. We may be able
to more readily grasp a clear understanding of the overall patterns of life.
We are likely to be in a bit of a fog today with confusion and deception
over our relationships as Venus at 18Cancer opposes Neptune at 18Capricorn.
Try not to be too idealistic, or to become lost in daydreams or drugs.
Psychic faculties are heightened, but impressions may be hazy or we may fool
ourselves by coloring our impressions with what we WANT to see. We may thus
be deceived by a friend or lover. We enjoy romance, but it may not be real.
Conflicts between our need for love versus our need for freedom are
highlighted today as Venus at 18Cancer opposes Uranus at 18Capricorn.
We may feel a need for intimacy and closeness, but also a fear of being
smothered. This aspect can be very confusing for love relationships, and
may lead to an abrupt ending of an existing relationship, or to an exciting
beginning of a new relationship (which is unfortunately not likely to last
long). The effects of this aspect may manifest as conflicts between home
life (Cancer) and career ambitions (Capricorn).
<< Thursday 19 August >>

The second of three geocentric conjunctions of Uranus and Neptune occurs
today with both planets retrograde at 18Capricorn. This retrograde
conjunction signifies the breaking down of patterns or structures which will
be recast in a new light during the final direct conjunction on 25October.
The major power of this conjunction is not expected to be felt immediately,
but as all other planets transit the zodiac they aspect Uranus and Neptune
in such rapid succession that the combined effects of these two planets are
magnified over time. This major long-term aspect between outer planets may
affect world events and societal views so profoundly that it transforms the
psyche of all people.
Uranus is the planet of abrupt and obvious change while Neptune exerts its
influence slowly and subtly within metaphysical dimensions. Uranus is
personified by the eccentric genious, with Neptune as the mystical monk.
Uranus rules electricity and Neptune rules water, which can be a shocking
combination. With Uranus in the cardinal earth sign Capricorn, earthquakes
are suggested, which may stir the depths of the Neptunian seas. Abrupt
onslaughts of water such as floods and tidal waves are also suggested.
Uranus rules technology and Neptune inspires artistic creativity so we may
see many new creative technological inventions and solutions over the next
few years. Neptune imparts future visiionary thinking, yet for those not
attuned to Neptune's influences it may manifest as chaos and confusion.
Uranus can provide a wealth of new information which may have been hidden
or may be tempoorarily confusing due to Neptune's influence.
This conjunction may also have the profound effect of enlarging the human
capacity for intelligence. These influences can ignite our dream state so
that it enters waking consciousness, with the potential for us to wake up
to a new level of consciousness. Revolutionary transitions in consciousnes
can take us beyond our accustomed level of awareness.
With Uranus conjunct Neptune in the sign Capricorn, energy may be directed
toward the structures and conventional mores of our societies. Many formal
structures (political, scientific, geographic, ...) may dissolve seemingly
on their own through the influences of Neptune, or with a spark from Uranus.
Neptune may provide insightful clues to the future forms of these structures,
and Uranus may provide a spark to germinate these ideas and the energy to
pursue them. In Capricorn, innovative discoveries may fly in the face of
conventional wisdom, and some inventions may be patented and then suppressed.
The mainstream will be forced to deal more openly with long suppressed ideas.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
<< Saturday 21 August >>
Our emotional expressions will be intense and profound as Venus at 22Cancer
trines Pluto at 22Scorpio. Meetings with new people may feel pre-ordained,
and could result in intense and sexual relationships. New insights into the
workings behind the scenes of relationships should be carefully listened to.
<< Sunday 22 August >>
Our manner of communicating to ourselves and others may undergo challenges
later today as Mercury at 22Leo squares Pluto at 22Scorpio. These challenges
may be severe enough to divert us to a new way of thinking about ourselves
and of communicating to others. Powerful and forceful communications may
be expressed, and with both planets in fixed signs neither side is likely
to budge. Our best bet is to accept any criticism from others with a calm
and listening ear, and then use the feedback to modify our attitudes and
behaviors. While this sounds good, it may not be so easy to accomplish today.
The Sun transitions from Leo to Virgo tonight for a stay until 22September.
This will signify the entrance into the adaptable (mutable) portion of the
summer season, and the Virgo emphasis will redirect our efforts towards
service, work, and health issues. With the Sun in Virgo people are likely
to be meticulous (especially about cleanliness), practical, and analytical
with a tendency towards nit-picking criticality, yet this is an excellent
time to pursue tasks which require extreme attention to detail. The
following chart highlights this sun-sign transition.

Moon's Second Quarter : Tuesday 24 August - Tuesday 31 August
---------------------
<< Tuesday 24 August >>
Some difficult communications and a depressing mental outlook could be in
store for us as Mercury at 26Leo opposes Saturn at 26Aquarius. Plans which
are set up now may not be stable or well-grounded. Bolster your hopes today!
<< Thursday 26 August >>
Mercury enters Virgo today for a stay until 11September. With Mercury
in Virgo our thoughts turn to details and practical concerns. Our mental
resources are well developed since Mercury rules Virgo. Projects can be well
planned with thorough attention to all phases, yet a rather conservative
approach will probably be adopted.
<< Friday 27 August >>
Venus enters Leo today for a stay until 15October. This transit confers
loyalty and generosity to lovers and friends, love of children, being in
love with love, and a passionate nature. We may become over-dramatic or
egotistical, may overspend on luxury items, and may become overly concerned
with our own personal beauty (can you say v-a-n-i-t-y? ;-}). However, people
will be generally friendly and out for a good time. This is a great party
transit, and people will be ready to party, so throw a decadent party and
invite everyone you know!!
<< Sunday 29 August >>
There is apt to be alot of active practical work or health related
communications today as the Sun conjuncts Mercury at 06Virgo. The influences
are excellent for starting new projects, especially if they pertain to health
issues or work methods. We may also enjoy a touch of self-confident optimism.
--------------------
Moon's Third Quarter : Tuesday 31 August - Thurs 09 September
--------------------
<< Tuesday 31 August >>
The moon at 09Pisces is full tonight opposing the Sun at 09Virgo. This
can impart an oscillating duality of hypercritical actions and oversensitive
reactions during this full moon period. However, with the full moon in
mutable signs we may be able to effectively reconcile conflicts by remaining
flexible and adjusting our attitude or approach somewhat.
<< Saturday 4 September >>
We may feel bright and alert today as Mercury at 18Virgo trines Uranus at
18Capricorn. We can generate ambitious new ideas relying upon conservative
ground-work, and some of our inventions or discoveries may be surprising or
even startling. Science and health discoveries are emphasized.
We may be elevated by a dose of sublime inspiration today as Mercury at
18Virgo trines Neptune at 18Capricorn. Our ideas may turn toward art,
dreams, or spitiual pursuits. Thoughts are sensitive and flow smoothly.
Artists may find inspiration, but those working with facts and figures may
find them a bit muddled.
<< Monday 6 September >>
We can tap into an abundance of optimism, self-confidence, and energy today
as Mars conjuncts Jupiter at 16Libra. We should guard against becoming so
headstrong that we can not accept NO for an answer. Keep any bad news to
yourself today, because other people don't want to hear it ;-}
<< Tuesday 7 September >>
Creative ideas could lead to reforms of long-term plans as Mercury at 23Virgo
sextiles Pluto at 23Scorpio. Travel itineraries are subject to revision.
---------------------
Moon's Fourth Quarter : Thursday 9 September - Wednesday 15 September
---------------------
<< Thursday 9 September >>
Be careful of accidents with cars or sharp objects today as Mars at 18Libra
squares Uranus at 18Capricorn. Dull your knives and stay at home ;-}.
Our energies may dissipate into a haze today as Mars at 18Libra squares
Neptune at 18Capricorn. This can lead to laziness, procrastination, or
even religious fanaticism. Our desires can be deluded so don't push them.
<< Friday 10 September >>
We can enjoy benevolent and peaceful feelings today as Venus at 17Leo
sextiles Jupiter at 17Libra. This aspect imparts creative talent and generous
expression of affection. This may also be a good day to initiate financial
enterprises or real-estate transactions.
Forceful changes may be enacted purposefully or may come by surprise today
as the Sun at 18Virgo trines Uranus at 18Capricorn. You may feel restricted
at work and want to break free. Health break-throughs are also possible.
Psychic energy is heightened as the Sun at 18Virgo trines Neptune at
18Capricorn. There is increased potential for creating tangible results from
imagination. Daydreaming is likely, and insights may be of practical value.
<< Saturday 11 September >>
Mercury enters Libra today for a stay until 30September. Mercury in Libra
imparts an ability to reason about issues and to see both sides clearly.
For just this reason we are apt to be indecisive or non-committal. Our
thoughts turn towards keeping the peace, and attempting to balance biased
ideas with compassionate thoughts.
<< Tuesday 14 September >>
We can easily express our feelings to others today as Venus at 22Leo
sextiles Mars at 22Lib. This aspect may lead to pleasant and romantic
experiences.
<< Wednesday 15 September >>
Relationships may be upset by fixed attitudes and stubborn behavior today
as Venus at 23Leo squares Pluto at 23Scorpio. Past secrets may surface.
Pride may have to be swallowed in order to maintain key relationships.
We get a potential energizer today as the Sun at 23Virgo sextiles Pluto at
23Scorpio. While this can impart relentless energy, it may be as a result of
circumstances which force us to exert our maximal efforts. Tasks which call
for nominal energy expenditures with little return may be disposed of in
deference to major efforts requiring destruction and regeneration.
The next new moon occurs in Virgo on September 15th. Until then, let loose
and enjoy the hot Leo Sun ... you can easily take care of any lingering
details later when Virgo influences take over.

==========================
The new moon on 15September in Virgo (mutable,earth) provides an opportunity
to clean up any messes which have been piling up. Virgo relates to the 6th
house activities of work, service, health/hygiene, and attention to detail.
Virgo is ruled by Mercury, which influences our thinking patterns. Virgo is
an earth sign, however, so the thoughts are applied in a logical and organized
manner. As a mutable sign Virgo influences are adaptable, but can become
very critical and nit-picky, and tend to classify things as black or white.
Uranus and Neptune both turn to direct motion during this moon cycle.
This reactivates these energies in preparation for the third and final
Uranus/Neptune conjunction on 25October. The planets are already _very_
close with a separation of only 0degrees/9minutes when they turn direct.
Other planets aspect this pair nearly simultaneously, amplifying the effects
of each. Pay special attention to these aspects with Uranus and Neptune
since they will dominate the astrological landscape for quite some time.
For those monitoring 11:11 activation events, notice that this new moon
occurs at 11:11pm EDT.
--------------------
Moon's First Quarter : Wednesday 15 September - Wednesday 22 September
--------------------
<< Wednesday 15 September >>
Relationships may be upset by fixed attitudes and stubborn behavior today
as Venus at 23Leo squares Pluto at 23Scorpio. Past secrets may surface.
Pride may have to be swallowed in order to maintain key relationships.
We get a potential energizer today as the Sun at 23Virgo sextiles Pluto at
23Scorpio. While this can impart relentless energy, it may be as a result of
circumstances which force us to exert our maximal efforts. Tasks which call
for nominal energy expenditures with little return may be disposed of in
deference to major efforts requiring destruction and regeneration.
<< Thursday 16 September >>
We may feel on a roll today with overoptimism and impractical idealism as
Jupiter at 18Libra squares Uranus at 18Capricorn. We may express eccentric
habits and be quite impatient. We have a tendency to jump to conclusions or
to take too much for granted. Our desire for freedom without responsibility
can result in unrealistic attitudes. Get-rich-quick schemes may result in
unexpected business losses. We may desire travel and adventure which serves
no useful purpose, and unexpected difficulties could arise on long journeys.
This is not considered a favorable time for psychic and occult
experimentation since mistakes in judgement are more likely.
<< Friday 17 September >>
It's a daydreamy day today as Jupiter at 18Libra squares Neptune at
18Capricorn. We may be filled with unrealistic idealistic expectations
and potentially misplaced sympathy. We may desire a psychological escape
which can be expressed through travel, drugs, or impractical educational
pursuits. We may be subject to misguided religious and mystical devotion.
Unwise expansion or dubious schemes could bring about our own undoing.
Our relationships may be fraught with struggles today as Venus at 25Leo
opposes Saturn at 25Aquarius. Our sense of humanitarian duty may be in
conflict with our desire to relate to others in a playful way, so try to
keep your responsibilities in perspective without letting them squelch
your fun-loving antics. Through relationships we may be forced to face
aspects of ourselves that we would rather not acknowledge, and we should
avoid becoming engulfed in self-pity.
<< Sunday 19 September >>
We are more likely to act in a responsible and self-controlled manner as
Mars at 25Libra trines Saturn at 25Aquarius. This is an excellent time for
solid mental efforts towards short or long term goals. Our energies can be
effectively focussed and disciplined along with enhanced stamina to complete
difficult or boring tasks.
<< Tuesday 21 September >>
Venus enters Virgo today for a stay until 15October. During this transit we
can become very discriminating, especially in the analysis of love feelings
and of partner's shortfalls. Try not to over-analyze romance or to constrain
relationships to follow prescribed guidelines. Avoid becoming nit-picky.
---------------------
Moon's Second Quarter : Wednesday 22 September - Thursday 30 September
---------------------
<< Wednesday 22 September >>
We should prepare for and beware of sudden upsets and disruptive
communications as Mercury at 18Libra squares Uranus at 18Capricorn.
Be extra careful today since we tend to be more accident prone.
Learn to go with the flow of disruptions, and avoid arguing in the
face of change. Allow for delays resulting from unexpected events.
There may be thunder and lightning expressed in communications relating
to business or partnerships. Through all of this we may be able to remain
talkative and sociable, however, and we are likely to entertain Libran
thoughts of union, peace, joining forces, beauty and aesthetics.
Disagreements or misunderstandings, of which there may be several today,
can probably be resolved in a peaceful manner.
Our practical thinking may become confused and deluded today as Mercury at
17Libra squares Neptune at 17Capricorn. However, this influence can also
be especially fruitful for highly creative and intuitive thinking. The
simultaneous influence of Uranus could provide a spark for sublime insight.
Today the Sun will transition from Virgo to Libra until 23October. This
signifies the entrance into the active (cardinal) initiating portion of the
fall season. This day is also called the Autumnal Equinox, and is a day
when daytime hours equal nighttime hours (12) all over the world. The Libra
emphasis will redirect our energies towards relationships. Libra is the
natural 7th house of complementary partners, and is ruled by Venus. Libra
is associated with balance in all forms. This is not a static balancing act,
however, but a dynamic oscillation which strives for a balanced equilibrium.
Libra can be very indecisive since both sides of an issue are fairly weighed.
Libra energy is very communicative, but may relinquish too much of one's self
in order to please someone else. This is an excellent time to work on your
relationships. The following chart highlights this sun-sign transition.

<< Thursday 23 September >>
We can enjoy a burst of practical and highly detailed ideas and plans as
Mercury conjuncts Jupiter at 20Libra. Thoughts may be directed towards
expansive new relationships.
<< Sunday 26 September >>
We should be bolstered by practical and stable thinking patterns as Mercury
24Libra trines Saturn at 24Aquarius. Our ideas may tend to be conservative
and goal-oriented, yet steady progress is achievable. This aspect imparts a
keen sense of what is practical and workable and what is not.
Mars enters Scorpio (which it co-rules) today for a stay until 9November.
During this time our sexuality is highly stimulated, and has an intense and
transforming quality. Also during this transit our ego drives may create
confrontations with others which force some kind of transformation in our
lives. Potential conflicts may revolve around shared property or joint
finances.
<< Monday 27 September >>
We end a period of internal assimilation of the forces of change as Uranus
turns to direct motion at 18Capricorn. Changes which may have been in the
works for some time may begin to demonstrate tangible external effects now.
--------------------
Moon's Third Quarter : Thursday 30 September - Friday 8 October
--------------------
<< Thursday 30 September >>
The Moon at 07Aries is full and fiery today opposed to the Sun at 07Libra.
Activity levels are high, and reactions are quick. Confrontations may be
prevalent, but they are likely to pass quickly. Avoid hurtful comments
and be tolerant of other's comments or relationships could end abruptly.
Count to ten .. twice.
Neptune at 18Capricorn officially turns direct today, though it will take
several days before the effects become evident. When Neptune turns direct
things which have been hidden for some time may now become openly known.
Also, the psychic character of Neptune initiates a new wave of individual
and group psychic development.
Mercury enters fixed water sign Scorpio for a stay until 6December.
With Mercury in Scorpio our communications can become imbued with deep
emotion. Our mental position may be unwavering and stubborn, and may be
presented forcefully and relentlessly. During this time we may become
fascinated with thoughts of life after death or other occult topics, and
profound insights may be revealed. This transit is generally favorable
for joint financial resources.
<< Tuesday 5 October >>
Dynamic and forceful communications which may become antagonistic are
likely today as Mercury conjuncts Mars at 06Scorpio. With both planets
in Scorpio much intensity may be hidden below the surface, so try to
discern the deeper implications before acting.
<< Wednesday 6 October >>
Exciting new love interests may arise today as Venus at 18Virgo trines
Uranus at 18Capricorn. Science or art may figure in the excitement.
Creative expression inspired by dreams is favored today as Venus at
18Virgo trines Neptune at 18Capricorn. Warm compassion and highly
idealistic love can combine to create a misty romantic atmosphere.
---------------------
Moon's Fourth Quarter : Friday 8 October - Friday 15 October
---------------------
<< Saturday 10 October >>
Our love life or affective nature may undergo a somewhat radical yet
contructive reform as Venus at 24Virgo sextiles Pluto at 24Scorpio.
With Venus in Virgo this change may involve our health or work surroundings,
and with Pluto in Scorpio the reforms may be intense and sensual. As with
all sextile aspects we must take some initiative to make it happen.
<< Monday 11 October >>
We should prepare for and beware of sudden upsets and disruptive situations
as the Sun at 18Libra squares Uranus at 18Capricorn. We desire to break
down our everyday routines today, yet we may end up taking foolhardy risks
to do so. Be extra careful today since we tend to be more accident prone.
Learn to go with the flow of disruptions, and avoid arguing or you could
make things worse.
We may be in for other challenges today resulting from delusion, dreaminess,
creativity, or dissipation of energies as the Sun at 18Libra squares Neptune
at 18Capricorn. This may inspire some to creative expression, and may instill
psychic content into relationships, yet it may also create delusional thinking
with respect to any practical or factual reality orientation. Drugs or other
escapist tendencies may be indulged. The effects of this aspect are likely
to be accentuated since it coincides with the sign/degree of the new moon.
<< Tuesday 12 October >>
We may finally make significant progress in business and professional
affairs today as Jupiter at 14Libra trines Saturn at 24Aquarius. This is
a good time to seek employment or initiate important business activities,
and to consolidate one's professional or financial position. This aspect
is also favorable for handling legal affairs or government regulations.
We are able to apply philosophic and ethical standards in a practical way
and with integrity. We can adopt a serious-minded responsible attitude
toward long-range goals, and will display a more responsible attitude toward
family affairs. This aspect provides an excellent balance between optimism
and caution which can securely move us ahead on our chosen paths.
The next new moon is in Libra on 15 October. Until then ... use your
enhanced efficiency to clean up lingering issues, and if you spend a bit
of extra effort on your relationships it should pay back handsomely.

==========================
The new moon on 15October at 22Libra (cardinal air) provides an opportunity
to mend relationships which may have become imbalanced. Libra relates to the
7th house concerns of relationships, partners, compromise and balance. Libra
is ruled by Venus, which relates to our expressions of love and our sense of
values. Libra is an air sign, however, so love is expressed through ideas and
communications, as opposed to more earthy and hedonistic love expressions
associated with the fixed earth sign Taurus (which is also ruled by Venus).
As a cardinal sign Libra energies actively engage in a balancing act which
results in a dynamic equilibrium as opposed to a static steady-state. Libra
energy can quickly identify fair compromises, yet Libra imparts an urge to
please and so may give away too much of 'self' in order to keep the peace.
To maximize the benefits of this moon cycle, address the sources of disharmony
in your relationships with compassion, yet be sure to save some for yourself.
This moon cycle is dominated by the third and final conjunction of Uranus
and Neptune on 25October (the first was on 2February, then a retrograde
conjunction on 19August). This aspect marks 1993 as a pivotal astrological
year which initiates a new 171 cycle for these two planets, and this final
conjunction indicates that we are now stepping into the new cycle with no
looking back. The effects and implications of this planetary alignment may
be subtle and not immediately apparent, yet the effects are pervasive. These
planets will remain within one degree of each other for several months. The
impact of this transit will remain with us for far longer than that, however,
and may eventually result in a subtle yet pervasive alteration of our
collective psyche.
--------------------
Moon's First Quarter : Friday 15 October - Friday 22 October
--------------------
<< Sunday 15 October >>
Venus enters Libra today for a stay until 08November. Relationships,
fairness, sensitivity, and appreciation of beauty gain importance within our
personal sense of values. Since Venus rules Libra, a natural affinity is
expressed during this transit, and air sign influences promote many new ideas.
<< Saturday 16 October >>
Our work on relationships may receive a boost as the Sun at 23Libra trines
Saturn at 23Aquarius. This can be a serious day for getting much work
accomplished and fulfilling the obligations of our relationships. Try to
follow practical actions based upon careful planning.
Our mind is stimulated with quick intuitive and inventive thinking as
Mercury at 18Scorpio sextiles Uranus at 18Capricorn. Our original dramatic
expression is enhanced, and inventions or discoveries are favored in
electronics, science or engineering.
Our perceptions will be keen as Mercury at 18Scorpio sextiles Neptune at
18Capricorn. This aspect stimulates a fertile imagination, and we may become
more than a bit dreamy. Creative writing is especially favored.
<< Monday 18 October >>
Expansive and benevolent influences will be activated as the Sun conjuncts
Jupiter at 25Libra. This encourages optimism and philosophical concern for
issues beyond oneself. Feelings of peace and harmony prevail, and it's an
excellent time to enjoy a short trip.
---------------------
Moon's Second Quarter : Friday 22 October - Saturday 30 October
---------------------
<< Saturday 23 October >>
The Sun transitions from Libra to Scorpio today for a stay until 22November.
This signifies our entrance into the stable (fixed) portion of the fall
season. Scorpio emphasis will redirect our efforts towards 8th house
concerns of sex, death with reformative rebirth, and joint finances.
An apt descriptive phrase for the fixed water sign Scorpio is "Still waters
run deep". The following chart highlights this sun-sign transition.
Libra Scorpio

Duality Masculine Feminine

Planet Venus Pluto (co-ruler Mars)
Keyword 'I Balance' 'I Desire'
Polarity Aries Taurus

Unexpected events may cause either disruption or inspiration today as Mars
at 18Scorpio sextiles Uranus at 18Capricorn. Our desires may be surprisingly
fulfilled, and we could enjoy success with almost anything that we seriously
attempt. Watch out for the other guy while driving today.
Our psychic energy is stimulated today as Mars at 18Scorpio sextiles Neptune
at 18Capricorn. This aspect may spur changes which can lead to excitement,
and can heighten our intuition concerning our own goals and drives.
<< Monday 25 October >>
Today we enter a internalized mental period as Mercury at 22Scorpio turns
retrograde until 15November. When Mercury turns retrograde our communication
faculties slow down, we become more reflective, and communications in general
falter. This does not have to be such a negative period so long as you don't
try to push..push..push everything to completion. Try to allow extra time,
and be content to let things happen at their own pace. You definitely don't
want a tight schedule when Mercury is retrograde, so try to get as many
lingering responsibilities as possible resolved before today.

This day signifies the culmination of the most influential astrological
aspect of the decade, as Uranus conjuncts Neptune at 18+Capricorn beginning
a new 171 year cycle between these two planets. The major power of this
conjunction is not expected to be felt immediately, but as all other planets
transit the zodiac they will aspect Uranus and Neptune in such rapid
succession that the combined effects of these two planets will be magnified.
This major long-term aspect between outer planets may affect world events and
societal views so profoundly that it can transform the psyche of all people.
Uranus is the planet of abrupt and obvious change while Neptune exerts its
influence slowly and subtly within metaphysical dimensions. Uranus is
personified by the eccentric genious, with Neptune as the mystical monk.
Uranus rules electricity and Neptune rules water, which can be a shocking
combination. With Uranus in the cardinal earth sign Capricorn, earthquakes
are suggested, which may stir the depths of the Neptunian seas. Abrupt
onslaughts of water such as floods and tidal waves are also suggested.
Uranus rules technology and Neptune inspires artistic creativity so we may
see many new creative technological inventions and solutions over the next
few years. Neptune imparts future visionary thinking, yet for those not
attuned to Neptune's influences it may manifest as chaos and confusion.
Uranus can provide a wealth of new information which may have been hidden
or may be temporarily confusing due to Neptune's influence.
With Uranus conjunct Neptune in the sign Capricorn, energy may be directed
toward the structures and conventional mores of our societies. Many formal
structures (political, scientific, geographic, ...) may dissolve seemingly
on their own through the influences of Neptune, or with a spark from Uranus.
Neptune may provide insightful clues to the future forms of these structures,
and Uranus may provide a spark to germinate these ideas and the energy to
pursue them.
With this aspect in Capricorn, innovative discoveries may fly in the face of
conventional wisdom, and some inventions may be patented and then suppressed.
There have already been several reports of attempts by energy companies and
others to buy up revolutionary energy technology patents with the intention
of securing the demand for current energy sources instead of providing open
access to new technologies. This strategy and other similar ones will not
remain hidden for long, however, since the Uranus-Neptune conjunction provides
ideal energies for investigative exposure of much that is currently hidden.
It will be very tough for anyone to keep activities secret over the next few
years, so expect some surprising revelations. The mainstream scientific and
political establishments will be forced to deal more openly with long
suppressed metaphysical topics such as UFO's, telepathy, and clairvoyance.
This conjunction may also have the profound effect of enlarging the human
capacity for intelligence. These influences can ignite our dream state so
that it enters waking consciousness, with the potential for us to wake up
to a new level of consciousness. Revolutionary transitions in consciousnes
can take us far beyond our accustomed level of awareness.
"In the ordinary waking state man does not see the real world.
He lives in a hypnotic sleep ... to awaken means to be dehypnotized."
P.D. Ouspensky, "In Search of the Miraculous"

<< Wednesday 27 October >>
Saturn turns direct today at 23Aquarius which should loosen up certain
restrictions which may have seemed log-jammed for quite some time. This
transition identifies the start of a period during which it is more advisable
to take on new and more far-reaching responsibilities.
<< Thursday 28 October >>
Dynamic and forceful communications which may become antagonistic are likely
today as Mercury conjuncts Mars at 22Scorpio. With both planets in Scorpio,
disagreements could be carried out behind the scenes, and could relate to
deep-seated emotional blockages.
--------------------
Moon's Third Quarter : Saturday 30 October - Sunday 7 November
--------------------
<< Saturday 30 October >>
The Moon is full this morning with the Moon at 07Taurus opposed to the Sun
at 07Scorpio. This fixed-sign full moon could lead to stubborness and
entrenchment in fixed views without accepting input from others. Our
judgement may seem unassailable, but we may not be able to communicate it
effectively until the Moon enters Gemini on Monday. Keeping an open mind and
avoiding painting yourself into a corner with fixed ideas should pay off.
Avoid indulgences and self-pity today as Venus at 18Libra squares Neptune at
18Capricorn. Beware of being swept into depression and emotional confusion.
Watch the road carefully and don't daydream while driving.
Interpersonal challenges may result today as Venus at 18Libra squares Uranus
at 18Capricorn. Try to avoid needlessly disrupting or startling friends or
partners over career or business restrictions. Unexpected events could occur
in relationships.
Don't forget to move your clocks one hour back tonight as we enter Eastern
Standard Time tomorrow.
<< Sunday 31 October >>
Our physical energies may be thwarted and pent up as Mars at 24Scorpio
squares Saturn at 24Aquarius. Our energies may be impeded or fizzle out,
and any forced issues are likely to result in equal force opposition. We
may feel that we are racing at 80mph with our brakes on full ;-}. We should
avoid any activity which subjects us to a high possibility for broken bones.
Try to remain low-key to avoid the negative expressions of this aspect.
<< Monday 1 November >>
Intense emotional power surrounds us today as Mars conjuncts Pluto at
24Scorpio. Scorpio is ruled by Pluto, and Mars is a co-ruler, so this is a
very powerful and influential aspect. Some may abuse their power over others
in a forceful and dominating way, which will likely be met with resistance
and resentment. Sexual energies are incredibly potent now and may have a
profound transforming quality. Private personal matters may be difficult to
handle now since our sensitivity for others may be dwarfed by our power.
We gain satisfaction out of having and using power ... our challenge is to
use it creatively and in a manner which is not in conflict with others.
Also today the Mercury sextiles to Uranus and Neptune which occurred on
October 16th are repeated ... this time with Mercury in retrograde motion.
In this case, our quick and insightful thinking patterns may be a bit
clouded, so don't jump to conclusions without reflecting on them a bit.
<< Wednesday 3 November >>
We can gain inner strength with personal relationships today as Venus at
23Libra trines Saturn at 23Aquarius. Friendships and love relationships can
gain mental stability on a more secure and honest communicative foundation.
We may feel more willing and able to make significant interpersonal
commitments today. Libran influences can impart harmony and balance to
otherwise serious discussions.
<< Friday 5 November >>
Mercury conjuncts the Sun at 13Scorpio which imparts effective and
potentially forceful self-expression. We will gain abundant mental energy
allowing us to pay close attention to details, but with Mercury retrograde
we still may miss one or two. A short trip may be enjoyable now.
---------------------
Moon's Fourth Quarter : Sunday 7 November - Saturday 13 November
---------------------
<< Monday 8 November >>
One of the most favorable astrological aspects also occurs today as Venus
conjuncts Jupiter at 29Libra. This aspect can confer optimism, benevolence,
wit, and interpersonal grace. Our outlook on relationships may take a wild
swing for the better, and we should enjoy an expansive emotional burst.
We may face a brief period of confusion about love interests and friendships
as Venus transitions from Libra to Scorpio for a stay until 02December. We
will be changing from a congenial and communicative concern with relationships
(Libra) to a deep and intense emotional concern with sex, death and rebirth
(Scorpio). Venus in Scorpio provides an opportunity to stabilize relationships
through deep emotional contact. Venus in Scorpio can be relentless and
unyielding, so this can be a very difficult time to break off a relationship.
Psychic sensitivities are heightened, and can be effectively utilized for
self-improvement. Strong feelings of destiny and fate may be associated with
relationships at this time. Infatuation with sex and death can be transcended
through considerations of the regenerative aspects of the death/rebirth cycle.
The old must die to make way for the new.
<< Tuesday 9 November >>
Our free-wheeling spirit will be enhanced over the next month as Mars enters
Sagittarius for a stay until 19December. This transit is great for sports
lovers, and for those who are planning to travel. If you are traveling, keep
your plans flexible and allow ample time to simply wander. During this
transit we become more friendly, optimistic, enthusiastic, impulsive, and
independent. Physical outlets will likely be needed to expend our increased
energy and vitality.
<< Wednesday 10 November >>
We may face a brief period of confusion about our personal philosophies
as Jupiter transitions from Libra to Scorpio for a stay until 09December94.
We may be shifting from a communicative and harmonious philosopy centered
on relationships (Libra) to a deep and intense emotional concern with sex,
occult activities, death and reincarnation (Scorpio). We may be confronted
with tax or legal issues concerning legacies, inheritances, or joint finances.
Jupiter in Scorpio provides an opportunity to tenaciously focus our expansive
tendencies toward deeply heart-felt goals. Psychic sensitivities will be
amplified, and will be useful for detecting hidden motivations in ourselves
and others. We may be able to effect major personal changes in ourselves
during this transit, yet if we attempt to enforce changes on others we may
invite resentment, subterfuge and deception. Destiny and fate may seem to be
working overtime over the next year, so attempt to foster flexibility in your
own personal dharma allowing you to roll with the collective ebb and flow.
<< Thursday 11 November >>
We may become mystical, meditative, and dreamy today as the Sun at 19Scorpio
sextiles Neptune at 19Capricorn. This aspect can make us very sensitive to
the situations of others. Our intuitive and creative faculties are stimulated,
and we can enjoy and appreciate art and beauty. We gain insights into the
workings of the sub-conscious mind, providing valuable material for productive
spiritual development. Romance tends toward the exotic now, so use your
wildest imagination... ;-}
Practical new work-related discoveries or useful new inventions are possible
today as the Sun at 19Scorpio sextiles Uranus at 19Capricorn. This aspect
may bring some mild relief from recent tensions, and can encourage the
redirection of our efforts into exciting new areas.
The next New Moon occurs in Scorpio on 13November. Until then .. communicate
proactively in your relationships, spread your compassion around widely, but
be sure to save a healthy dose for yourself.

==========================
The new moon on 13November in the fixed water sign Scorpio provides an
opportunity to rebuild and stabilize our emotions. Scorpio is ruled by Pluto
(reform, rebirth, transformation) and relates to 8th house concerns of sex,
death with rebirth, and benefit from other people's money. As a fixed sign,
Scorpio energies are stable yet often stubborn and relentless, and thus as a
water sign it is associated with the most persistent and tenacious emotions.
As with other water signs Scorpio energies can be sensitive to insult, however
the negative form of reaction does not manifest as depression (Cancer) or
insecurity (Pisces) but rather may be harbored and expressed as fuming or
resentment. Scorpio is associated with the genitals and imparts strong
sensual/sexual overtones. Psychic faculties are sensitized.
Since Scorpio's ruler Pluto is currently transiting through Scorpio, all
Scorpio/Pluto effects will be heightened during this moon cycle. The way to
maximize your growth during this new moon cycle is to avoid clinging to your
emotional baggage, and allow Pluto energies to destroy all unnecessary
emotional attachments of the past. Problems will arise if you fight against
Pluto's natural process of winnowing out obsolete emotional attachments.
--------------------
Moon's First Quarter : Saturday 13 November - Saturday 20 November
--------------------
<< Saturday 13 November >>
The new moon today at 21Scorpio coincides with a partial solar eclipse.
This indicates that projects initiated at this time may have a pronounced
effect which can last for a period of several months or more.
<< Sunday 14 November >>
Communication within relationships is accentuated today as Mercury conjuncts
Venus at 06Scorpio. In Scorpio this aspect may allow more communication
concerning heartfelt emotional attachments. With Mercury retrograde much
of this communication may be internalized, and we still may not quite be
able to make sense of our emotions. Guard against becoming entrenched
in fixed mental and emotional attitudes. Don't sweat the small stuff.
<< Monday 15 November >>
Mercury at 06Scorpio turns to direct motion today which will gradually
allow communications to flow more smoothly, and will reduce the effects
of distractive interruptions.
<< Tuesday 16 November >>
Our egos may be impeded or our energies may be worn down today as the Sun
at 12Scorpio squares Saturn at 24Aquarius. Any issues we force are likely to
result in equal force opposition ... or possibly immovable opposition since
the square is in fixed signs. Try to remain low-key to avoid the negative
expressions of this aspect.
<< Wednesday 17 November >>
Intense experiences may force us to become actively involved today as the
Sun conjuncts Pluto at 25Scorpio. We may have to repair either a posession
(eg. car) or a situation which has broken down to the point that it must
change radically in order to proceed. We may be confronted by a person
trying to exert unreasonable power over us, forcing us to defend ourselves.
Pluto influences may expose hidden elements of personal or social
transformation. In any case, we may be compelled to enter into experiences
which plunge us well below the superficial level.
---------------------
Moon's Second Quarter : Saturday 20 November - Sunday 29 November
---------------------
<< Monday 22 November >>
The Sun transitions from Scorpio to Sagittarius today for a stay until
21December. This transition will signify our entrance into the mutable
(changable) portion of the fall season. The Sagittarian emphasis will redirect
our efforts towards the 9th house concerns of philosophy, higher education,
and travel, and will impart a free-spirited and laissez-faire attitude.
Sagittarian energy is aptly characterized as a care-free and happy wanderer.
The Sun's entrance into Sagittarius (ruled by Jupiter) will certainly lighten
up most people's hearts following a deeply emotional excursion through Scorpio.
The following chart highlights this sun-sign transition.

---------- -----------
Duality Feminine Masculine

<< Wednesday 24 November >>
Our creative and romantic imagination is aroused as Venus at 19Scorpio
sextiles Neptune at 19Capricorn. Our appreciation of beauty and our
sensitivity to the feelings of others are enhanced.
Exciting new love interests may arise today as Venus at 19Scorpio sextiles
Uranus at 19Capricorn. Science or art may figure in the excitement.
Relationships stemming from these encounters are likely to be mature and
responsible with a touch of prudishness, yet they can be embellished by
an intense and sensual emotional attraction.
<< Sunday 28 November >>
We may be able to bring a new sense of structure and order to broken
relationships as Venus at 24Scorpio squares Saturn at 24Aquarius. This can
indicate an excellent time to sit down and arrive at a conscious understanding
of what each person expects from the other in a relationship. We may feel
a burden of responsibility which requires significant effort on our part.
--------------------
Moon's Third Quarter : Sunday 29 November - Monday 06 December
--------------------
<< Monday 29 November >>
The full moon is exact today with a total lunar eclipse as the Moon at
07Gemini opposes the Sun at 07Sagittarius. This could make for a wild
and crazy time of flirting and conversation which is open to the point
of bluntness or crudeness. If we keep our own sense of humor and allow
a bit of latitude for other people's humor, then it can be a lot of fun.
The last total lunar eclipse was on 04June93. Events of this eclipse
may finalize any lingering issues from the prior eclipse, and may exert
an underlying influence for up to 6 months until the next lunar eclipse.
Our perceptions will be keen as Mercury at 19Scorpio sextiles Neptune at
19Capricorn. This aspect stimulates a fertile imagination, and we may
become more than a bit dreamy. Creative writing is especially favored.
Some intense and profound sexual impulses may be released today which could
reform our values and our concepts of love as Venus conjuncts Pluto at
25Scorpio. Pluto reforms may not be pleasant, but they can destroy all
outdated concepts to allow for a fresh phase of regeneration to start anew.
Love and relationship reforms may be initiated by the exposure of secrets.
Our mind is stimulated with quick intuitive and inventive thinking as
Mercury at 19Scorpio sextiles Uranus at 19Capricorn. Our original dramatic
expression is enhanced, and inventions or discoveries are favored in
electronics, science or engineering.
<< Thursday 2 December >>
We begin a period of elevated attitudes today, becoming more freedom-loving
and optimistic as Venus enters Sagittarius until 26December. The Sagittarian
influence provides a great time for parties and philosophical friendships,
but be careful since people may say what's on their mind with total disregard
for effects on others. Keep your mouth in check and you should have fun ;-}.
<< Friday 3 December >>
Our mental ideas and thinking patterns may face additional obstructions
which could lead us into a depressive turn of mind today as Mercury at
24Scorpio squares Saturn at 24Aquarius. Travel arrangements may also
face some snags, and we may feel generally down in the dumps.
<< Sautrday 4 December >>
Be subtle with communications today as Mercury conjuncts Pluto at 25Scorpio.
Don't try to force people or it could lead to resentment. Be a reformer, not
a dictator. Battle against your own stubbornness, try to keep a lid on your
tongue, and try to go with the flow.
---------------------
Moon's Fourth Quarter : Tuesday 17 November - Tuesday 24 November
---------------------
<< Monday 6 December >>
While it may take a day or two to sink in, we are likely to feel like a huge
load is taken off of our minds when the serious and deep Mercury in Scorpio
ideas are replaced with the free-spirited laissez-faire attitudes of Mercury
in Sagittarius. We will enjoy this until 26December when Mercury proceeds
into Capricorn. With Mercury in Sagittarius we become more interested in
higher-learning and open philosophical discussions. We must be careful to
maintain some control over what we choose to express openly or we may end up
with both feet squarely in our mouths and other people becoming offended.
<< Monday 13 December >>
Influences are favorable for initiating career or physical training regimens
today as Mars at 25Sagittarius sextiles Saturn at 25Aquarius. Our work should
proceed smoothly if we are properly prepared.
The next New Moon occurs in Sagittarius on 13December. Until then ...
let Pluto clear out your emotional garbage, get ready for Mercury turning
direct, and don't be afraid to be adventurous once the Sun enters Sagittarius.
Lisa and Todd

Astrology Watch Highlights
==========================
The new moon on 13December in the mutable fire sign Sagittarius provides us
with opportunities to explore the world around us, and in the process, to
expand our own personal philosophies. Sagittarius is ruled by benefic Jupiter
(expansion) and relates to the 9th house concerns of philosophy, higher
learning, travel, and exploration. As a mutable sign, Sagittarian energies
are flexible, and are characterized by a care-free laissez-faire attitude.
As with other fire signs (Aries, Leo) Sagittarian energies are associated with
dynamic and fast-moving activities, and can seem insensitive to the feelings
of those who move a bit more slowly. Sagittarian expressions can often appear
to be out-of-control, and eccentric actions may be undertaken for their shock
value alone .. usually all in fun ;-}. Don't ask anyone for their opinion
unless you truly want to know, because the Sagittarian "who cares what anyone
else thinks" attitude could yield some very blunt and startling responses.
The new moon in Sagittarius also indicates interest in foreign affairs, and
may provide some new and expansive concepts relating to world peace. The way
to maximize your growth during this Sagittarian new moon cycle is to lighten
up your attitude and freely explore new fields which you find interesting and
emotionally rewarding.
There are no retrograde planets during this entire Moon cycle, so the time
for internal reflection is over ... now is the time to actually get out there
in the world and do something exciting!
--------------------
Moon's First Quarter : Monday 13 December - Monday 19 December
--------------------
<< Monday 13 December >>
Influences are favorable for initiating career or physical training regimens
today as Mars at 25Sagittarius sextiles Saturn at 25Aquarius. Our work should
proceed smoothly if we are properly prepared.
<< Friday 17 December >>
We enjoy an orderly state of mind and self-discipline excellent for
constructive work as the Sun at 26Sagittarius sextiles Saturn at 26Aquarius.
This aspect confers constructive ambition, good organization, and a mature
attitude. This is a very favorable time for important communications with
those in power. We are likely to make steady progress toward goals, and
enjoy an enhanced sense of dignity. Some initiative and patience may be
required in order to reap the benefits of this aspect.
<< Sunday 19 December >>
Today Mars enters Capricorn for a stay until 27Jan94. Mars in Capricorn
stimulates practical application of our physical energies. We are likely to
be more responsible, dutiful, and serious, yet we may tend to plod along in a
sober way towards ambitious desires for career advancement and financial
security. We will feel as if we must be productive, yet we may manipulate
others to further their usefulness to us. Guard against becoming
over-pessimistic as it will deplete your energies.
---------------------
Moon's Second Quarter : Monday 20 December - Tuesday 28 December
---------------------
<< Tuesday 21 December >>
This afternoon the Sun transitions from Sagittarius (mutable fire) to
Capricorn (cardinal earth). This is called the Winter Solstice, the first
day of Winter, and has the least sun-light of the year (in the Northern
hemisphere). It also signifies the entrance into the cardinal (active,
initiating) portion of the winter season. The Capricorn emphasis redirects
our efforts towards the 10th house concerns of career, status and prestige.
Capricorn energy focuses upon the construction of sturdy foundations of all
kinds (physical, emotional, spiritual, etc.), and can provide a required base
for the emotional family-related expressions of its opposite/complementary
sign Cancer.
The Sun's entrance into Capricorn (ruled by Saturn) will certainly bring a
more serious and sober attitude to people after the lighter expressions of
Sagittarius. Capricorn energies can endure great sacrifices to move ahead in
a career. Caring and compassion for others must be developed, however, or the
outward success will end up being as empty and unfulfilling as the sacrifices
which led there. The following chart highlights this sun-sign transition.

<< Thursday 23 December >>
We enjoy an orderly state of mind and self-discipline excellent for
constructive work as the Sun at 26Sagittarius sextiles Saturn at 26Aquarius.
This aspect confers constructive ambition, good organization, and a mature
attitude. This is a very favorable time for important communications with
those in power. We are likely to make steady progress toward goals, and
enjoy an enhanced sense of dignity. Some initiative and patience may be
required in order to reap the benefits of this aspect.
We may experience a clear mind and good judgement today as Mercury at
26Sagittarius sextiles Saturn at 26Aquarius. This is an excellent time to
lay the groundwork for future plans. This aspect enhances our capacity for
organization, and encourages us to leave nothing to chance. Carefully
recording your dreams today may yield additional insights.
<< Saturday 25 December >>
Communication within relationships is accentuated today as Mercury conjuncts
Venus at 27Sagittarius. With both planets in Sagittarius we may adopt a
very laissez-faire attitude regarding our relationships, and we may wish
to play the field more than settle down.
<< Sunday 26 December >>
Today Mercury transits from Sagittarius to Capricorn for a stay until
13January. With Mercury in Capricorn we enter a period where orderly
and structured thought processes are likely to be applied toward career
development interests. Much practical work can be accomplished during this
transit. We are likely to be more prepared and organized, with a strong
tendency to look for bargains to the point of being cheap. We may be faced
with restrictions on our free thinking, or with added work responsibilities.
In either case we are likely to be mentally challenged by ourselves or others.
The last vestige of wild Sagittarian fun will wear off today as Venus enters
practical and serious Capricorn for a stay until 19February. Venus is weighted
down by Capricorn's willingness to sacrifice current rewards for ambitions and
eventual potential successes. However, professional and business activites
can work harmoniously, and it is a good time to renovate at work. Older
more mature people may be regarded as more attractive during this transit.
A real energizer hits us today as the Sun conjuncts Mars at 05Capricorn.
There is a possibility of ego-based over-aggression with this aspect, yet
athletic prowess is at its height so athletic outlets are highly recommended
to burn off excess energy. Otherwise, excess energy may be expressed as
irritability or arguing, and accidents may result from impulsive or reckless
actions. Strong regenerative forces may be available to us, however, and
initiation of new creative projects is favored. This aspect may also expose
our level of satisfaction with our current life situation, and may prompt us
to change our circumstances or our ambitions.
--------------------
Moon's Third Quarter : Tuesday 28 December - Tuesday 4 January
--------------------
<< Friday 31 December >>
Our ego drives will get energized as the Sun at 10Capricorn sextiles Jupiter
at 10Scorpio. With a bit of internal bolstering we can become brimming with
boisterous self-confidence and optimism. This aspect can also bring good
luck, and things planned today should work out well. It is also a good
day for group participation activities or philosophical pursuits.
<< Saturday 1 January >>
Dynamic and forceful communications which may become antagonistic are likely
today as Mercury conjuncts Mars at 10Capricorn. With both planets in
Capricorn, disagreements could be related to working conditions or ambitions.
We can effectively initiate communications for expansive new projects as
Mercury at 10Capricorn sextiles Jupiter at 10Scorpio. Favored are Scorpio
projects involving investigation or emotional perseverence, or Capricorn
ambitious projects at work.
We should try to expand our abilities to satisfy our desires today as Mars
at 10Capricorn sextiles Jupiter at 10Scorpio. We may find that luck is with
us if we expend the effort to try. This aspect is excellent for positive and
optimistic action on new projects.
<< Sunday 2 January >>
A significant astrological shakeup may be in store for us during the several
days surrounding today, as Saturn at 27Aquarius squares Pluto at 27 Scorpio.
This aspect suggests the blowing up (Pluto) of structures (Saturn). However,
Pluto will rebuild that which it destroys, and will result in it being on
firmer footing than before. Anything worth keeping will probably withstand
the assult, and will be stronger due to Pluto's cleansing influence. Anything
which we are relying on only out of habit will likely fall by the wayside.
The more an outdated habit is clung to, the stronger the impact of Pluto will
be to force it to be released. With both planets in fixed signs, this aspect
could result in an unstoppable force (Pluto) lining up against an an immovable
object (Saturn). Stay out of the way if you can ;-}
<< Monday 3 January >>
The influences are excellent for starting new projects at work today as
the Sun conjuncts Mercury at 13Capricorn. We should be able to effectively
communicate project plans and perform other goal-oriented activities.
We can enjoy benevolent and peaceful feelings today as Venus at 10Capricorn
sextiles Jupiter at 10Scorpio. This aspect can impart creative talent and
generous expression of affection, although with Venus in Capricorn our
expressions may be subdued. This may also be a good day to initiate
financial enterprises or real-estate transactions.
---------------------
Moon's Fourth Quarter : Wednesday 16 December - Tuesday 23 December
---------------------
<< Thursday 6 January >>
The conjunction of Mars (male) and Venus (female) influences at 13Capricorn
can create a sensual and sexy energy flow today and for some time after.
This aspect realigns our desire nature (Mars) with our value orientation
(Venus). In Capricorn this may be a bit on the serious side, yet it is still
a good time for entertainment of any kind, so go out and have fun! ... or stay
in and provide your own entertainment ;-}
<< Saturday 8 January >>
Our practical thoughts may be more than a bit confused today as Mercury
conjuncts Neptune at 21Capricorn. However, penetrating insights may also
arise, but Neptune can be deceiving so don't believe everything you hear.
<< Sunday 9 January >>
Exciting conversations which may be energized by a slip of the tongue or two
are highlighted today as Mercury conjuncts Uranus at 22Capricorn. Listen to
inspirational new twists on some old out-dated concepts, especially at work
or in regard to practical concerns and goals.
<< Tuesday 11 January >>
We can be creative in a tangible or practical way today as the Sun conjuncts
Neptune at 21Capricorn. We may have dreamy or idealistic business thoughts,
and may grasp new insights into business planning processes. There is a
potential for deception today, so keep your eyes and ears open. Be careful
not to overdo it with drugs or alcohol.
The next new Moon occurs in Capricorn on January 11th 1993. Until then ...
enjoy your Sagittarian wanderings, and prepare for an industrious and
productive solar excursion through the practical sign Capricorn.
For those who may be following 11:11 activation indicators, this next
new moon occurs on 1/11/1993 at 11:11p GMT.

Astrology Watch Highlights
==========================
The new moon on 11January in the cardinal earth sign Capricorn provides us
with opportunities to construct a solid concrete foundation upon which to
erect the physical, emotional, and spiritual structures of our lives.
Capricorn is ruled by Saturn (restriction) and relates to the 10th house
concerns of career, prestige, ambition, and status. As a cardinal sign,
Capricorn energies are active, and are characterized by workaholic tendencies
and more serious and sober attitudes. With Capricorn energies, we become
more aware of our own sense of structure and of our ego concerns. We are
likely to place more emphasis on work, including acceptance of added
responsibilities and more concern for long-range planning.
Capricorn energies can endure great sacrifices for career ambitions, but they
may ignore the personal compassion and caring which makes life worth living.
As with other earth signs (Taurus, Virgo) Capricorn energies are associated
with practical, rational, and generally down-to-earth activities, which may
seem overly constrained to some of the freer energies of the zodiac. The way
to maximize your growth during this new moon cycle is to pay attention to job
related issues, and to strengthen your professional and business foundations.
However, retain an awareness of the qualities of the opposing sign Cancer by
remaining sensitive to home and family issues, and thus embrace both sides of
the dichotomy between conscious will and tangible success (Capricorn) versus
unconsious mind and intangible feelings (Cancer).
There are no retrograde planets during this moon cycle, so it continues to
be a good time to get out in the world and make a difference. The practical
and ambitious influences are dramatically overloaded during the beginning of
this moon cycle with all planets except Jupiter, Saturn, and Pluto currently
transiting through Capricorn. This is almost _too_ conducive to productive
activity, so be sure to take a break once in a while.
--------------------
Moon's First Quarter : Tuesday 11 January - Wednesday 19 January
--------------------
<< Tuesday 11 January >>
We can be creative in a tangible or practical way today as the Sun conjuncts
Neptune at 21Capricorn. We may have dreamy or idealistic business thoughts,
and may grasp new insights into business planning processes. There is a
potential for deception today, so keep your eyes and ears open. Be careful
not to overdo it with drugs or alcohol.
<< Wednesday 12 January >>
We may enjoy a creative and dreamily romantic time today as Venus conjuncts
Neptune at 21Capricorn. This feeling may be enhanced if we can extend beyond
the practicality of Capricorn to enjoy the aspect more fully. Use of drugs
or meditative states may also be highlighted.
We have the potential for constructive reformative ideas and communications
today as Mercury at 27Capricorn sextiles Pluto at 27Scorpio. We may become
preoccupied with deep or profound thoughts concerning regeneration. As with
all sextile aspects, some initiating effort on our part may be required to
activate these energies.
We may experience unexpected shocks as the Sun conjuncts Uranus at
22Capricorn. This aspect brings an interest in shaking off old routines,
and we can enjoy an exciting inner drive to be different. It is a _great_
time to break stale habits! This aspect can impart personal magnetism and
eccentricity, and can also indicate practical innovations at work. Don't
get caught up struggling with boring stuff today.. break free and do
something exciting!

Excitement and unpredictability may spruce up our love life today as Venus
conjuncts Uranus at 22Capricorn. Unexpected changes could rattle the
foundations our affections. We may become attracted to a new love interest,
and with Venus in Capricorn the new love may be someone older or someone met
through work.
Today Mercury transits from Capricorn to Aquarius for a stay until
01February. Mercury entering Aquarius indicates that our mental faculties
will surface from the Capricorn grind, with idealistic Aquarian (Uranian)
ideas emphasizing humanitarian and group goals. Our communications are more
conducive to the establishment of friendships, yet in a somewhat detached way.
<< Saturday 16 January >>
We may experience a dissipation and diffusion of our energies today at Mars
conjuncts Neptune at 21Capricorn. Our focus can become clouded, yet from
behind the clouds some very insightful rays of understanding may creep in,
especially in regard to long range goals. We may be confused or deceived by
coworkers (especially males), so try not to be overly gullible this week.
As the Sun conjuncts Venus at 26Capricorn we are likely to feel pretty good
in a party sort of way, although in Capricorn our party outlook may be a bit
subdued. Our heightened fashion sense can help us to look our best, and we
may feel very desirable. We may express more generosity and affection, and
our relationships are likely to reciprocate. Older and mature women may be
viewed as especially attractive now.
<< Monday 17 January >>
Our love life or affective nature may undergo a somewhat radical yet
contructive reform as Venus at 27Capricorn sextiles Pluto at 27Scorpio.
With Venus in Capricorn this may involve our work surroundings, and with
Pluto in Scorpio the reforms may be emotionally intense or sensual. As
with all sextile aspects we must take the initiative or it may not happen.
We may experience new and reformative ideas and actions as the Sun at
27Capricorn sextiles Pluto at 27Scorpio. We are likely to experience intense
emotions and the strength of our convictions. This is a good day to make
productive changes of a rebuilding nature.
<< Tuesday 18 January >>
We may experience unexpected and quick events which can be quite explosive
today as Mars conjuncts Uranus at 22Capricorn. In Capricorn, this aspect can
indicate events of a serious nature with long-lasting structural effects.
This aspect may encourage physical activity of a dangerous or risky nature,
but we should use caution. There will be plenty of energy to take actions
which may be long over-due, especially where fear was a factor in delaying
actions. So, face your fears, do what must be done, but keep your guard up.
---------------------
Moon's Second Quarter : Wednesday 19 January - Thursday 27 January
---------------------
<< Wednesday 19 January >>
Venus transits from Aquarius to Pisces today for a stay until 12February.
Venus in Pisces is extremely sensitive, and demonstrates extraordinary
emotional sympathy and understanding, kindness towards those in need, and
appreciation of beauty. Due to the influence of Neptune, the ruler of Pisces,
we can understand others on a deeply spiritual and compassionate level.
This transit is associated with secret romances and behind-the-scenes
activity. We are attracted to places of retreat and romantic privacy.
<< Thursday 20 January >>
The Sun transitions from cardinal earth sign Capricorn to fixed air sign
Aquarius today for a stay until 18February. This signifies our entrance into
the fixed (stable) portion of the winter season. The Aquarian emphasis will
redirect our efforts towards the 11th house concerns of groups, social work,
and worthy causes. Aquarius is ruled by Uranus which contributes erratic,
ingenious, and revolutionary influences, with an emphasis on science, high
technology, or astrology. Aquarian energy can be perceptive, detached, and
impersonal, and can provide a confident intellectual base for leadership
expressions of its opposite/complementary sign Leo.
The Sun's entrance into Aquarius will bring a more detached and intellectual
attitude to people after the heavier expressions of Capricorn. Aquarian energy
invariably attempts to idealize the human condition, denying personal foibles
and being generally impersonal, yet pursuing social and humanitarian issues
and group goals. Aquarian energy may feel more compassion for idealistic
concerns of 'humanity' than for the concerns of actual individual human beings
who are inevitably not so ideal. The following chart highlights this sun-sign
transition.

<< Friday 21 January >>
We can bolster optimistic attitudes towards long-range goals today as Mercury
at 12Aquarius squares Jupiter at 12Scorpio. This aspect can be favorable, and
at this time we may grasp the whole picture and think in big, ideal, abstract
terms. We may be sloppy with details, however, and may be inclined to
overlook important details which conflict with larger plans.
<< Tuesday 25 January >>
There is a possibility for powerful actions to effectively reform or
regenerate things today as Mars at 27Capricorn sextiles Pluto at 27Scorpio.
Any reorganization changes made now may be irreversible. We may feel that
our goals are sublime and our actions are somehow preordained. There are
deep emotions at work here, and they may find expression in profound sexual
experiences. We may feel great strength both physically and emotionally,
although with the sextile aspect we may have to initiate some action on our
own volition in order to get the juices flowing.
--------------------
Moon's Third Quarter : Thursday 27 January - Thursday 3 February
--------------------
<< Thursday 27 January >>
The full moon is exact this morning with the Moon at 06Leo opposed to the
Sun at 06Aquarius. This full moon in fixed signs may lead to an impasse for
some current issues, yet we should be able to retain our stability in spite
of active opposition.
Also today, Mars enters Aquarius for a stay until 14April. Mars in Aquarius
is inventive and original, yet may be stubborn and cause difficulties with
authorities if we do not remain flexible. Working with groups involved in
idealistic and humanitarian causes is highlighted.
<< Friday 28 January >>
Today Saturn enters Pisces for a 2� year stay until April 1996 which will
invariably paint a new background for us to view all of our other personal
activities against. When Saturn (responsibility, discipline) is in Pisces
(ruled by Neptune) we may feel confusion and dissolution of our formerly clear
(Aquarian) sense of responsibility, yet our new direction may remain vague
and unclear. We are likely to be very sympathetic, especially for underdogs,
yet we may carry this to a fault by becoming overwhelmed by the problems of
others. We may also become emotionally depressed more easily, yet from this
despair we may gain valuable insights into the ultimate order of the universe,
and our personal responsibilities within that order. Religious leanings tend
toward the more "devotional" types now, where our personal responsibility and
power could be sacrificed or relinquished to religious organizations.
Spiritual development will be a significant issue, and many may choose
a reclusive lifestyle to recuperate from prior imbalances. Secret or hidden
acts may be dramatically exposed, which may could lead to incarceration or
issues of personal culpability. Keep things in the open as much as possible.
It's easier to face things openly now than to have others expose them later.
<< Sunday 30 January >>
We needn't expect any serious problems as Venus at 13Aquarius squares Jupiter
at 13Scorpio, yet we may experience personal let-downs of an emotional nature.
This aspect may bring out cruder mannerisms lacking in social grace, and
we may procrastinate and waste time on unproductive pursuits.
Our manner of communicating to ourselves and others may undergo challenges
later today as Mercury at 27Aquarius squares Pluto at 27Scorpio. Challenges
may be severe enough to divert us to a new way of thinking about ourselves
and of communicating to others. Powerful and forceful communications may
be expressed, and with both planets in fixed signs neither side is likely
to budge. Our best bet is to accept any criticism from others with a calm
and listening ear, and then use the feedback to modify our attitudes and
behaviors. While this sounds good, it may not be so easy to accomplish today.
<< Tuesday 1 February >>
Today Mercury enters Pisces for a stay until 21February.
When Mercury is in Pisces (ruled by Neptune) we can become more in touch
with the hidden sides of our personalities and our unconscious drives, yet
we are more likely to keep such insights to ourselves. We are likely to have
increased concern with spiritual development, and may feel like escaping into
reclusion to sort out our ideas. Keeping secrets from others will only
undermine their confidence in us once the hidden secrets are revealed.
On this day, those in authority may issue orders in especially cold and
insensitive terms as Mercury conjuncts Saturn at 00Pisces, and as a result
of this harshness the abused may become a dangerous enemy. This aspect will
especially impact those involved with communication or transport services,
or with issues relating to restrictions on communications.
<< Wednesday 2 February >>
Mild personal problems arising from hypocrisy, extravagance, and inflated
self-importance are indicated today as the Sun at 14Aquarius squares Jupiter
at 14Scorpio. While the effects of this square are not severe, it can lead
to overexpansion, foolish optimism, and waste. We may feel a bit on the
slow side today, and just taking it easy may be the theme for today. We have
a tendency to adhere to dogmatic views which may cause problems in romantic,
social, or business situations. Gambling is unwise at this time, and charity
may be tinged with a desire for personal recognition and praise. The
'antidote' for most of these negative expressions is to maintain a more
objective and philosophical perspective.
---------------------
Moon's Fourth Quarter : Thursday 3 February - Thursday 10 February
---------------------
There are no major astrological aspects during the Moon's fourth quarter
phase. This should allow us to adjust to and assimilate the effects of
recent aspects and transitions before heading into the growth opportunities
of the next moon cycle.
The next new Moon occurs at 21Aquarius on 10February. Until then ...
harness and utilize the stimulating formative energy of this Capricorn
moon cycle to establish a firm foundation for innovative development of
tangible inner and outer manifestations of your uniqueness.

Astrology Watch Highlights
==========================
The new moon on 10February in Aquarius (fixed air) provides us with
opportunities to re-establish our involvement with the creative goals of
groups and organizations, with friends, and with humanitarian interests.
Aquarius is ruled by Uranus (erratic change) and relates to the 11th house
concerns of organizations, personal goals and objectives, science, and a
detached mental outlook. As a fixed sign, Aquarian energies are stable;
and as an air sign the energy is expressed through ideas rather than
through actions (fire), emotions (water), or things (earth).
Using Aquarian influences individuals can enjoy more positive self-expression
through scientific, humanitarian, or occult groups. People also gain a more
universal perspective on life. The way to maximize growth during this new
moon cycle is to condense ideas and thoughts into viable plans for the future
which are designed for the benefit of all rather than just for ourselves.
While this new Moon begins with no retrograde planets, Mercury will
complete a full retrograde cycle during this Moon cycle, and by the next
new Moon both Jupiter and Pluto will be retrograde. Thus it is time to pull
in the reins a bit and not overextend ourselves externally since the focus
will gradually shift toward internal considerations of our past actions.
---------------------
Moon's First Quarter : Thursday 10 February - Friday 18 February
---------------------
<< Thursday 10 February >>
Our manner of communicating to ourselves and others may undergo challenges
later today as Mercury at 28Aquarius squares Pluto at 28Scorpio. Challenges
may be severe enough to divert us to a new way of thinking about ourselves
and of communicating to others. Powerful and forceful communications may
be expressed, and with both planets in fixed signs neither side is likely
to budge. Our best bet is to accept any criticism from others with a calm
and listening ear, and then use the feedback to modify our attitudes and
behaviors. While this sounds good, it may not be so easy to accomplish today.
<< Friday 11 February >>
Today we enter a mentally blas� period as Mercury at 07Pisces turns
retrograde until 05March. When Mercury turns retrograde our communication
faculties slow down, we become more reflective, and communications in general
falter. This does not have to be such a negative period so long as you don't
try to push..push..push everything to completion. Try to allow extra time,
and be content to let things happen at their own pace. You definitely don't
want a tight schedule when Mercury is retrograde, so try to get as many
lingering responsibilities as possible resolved before today.
<< Saturday 12 February >>
Venus transits from Aquarius to Pisces today for a stay until 08March.
Venus in Pisces is extremely sensitive, and demonstrates extraordinary
emotional sympathy and understanding, kindness towards those in need, and
appreciation of beauty. Due to the influence of Neptune, the ruler of Pisces,
we can understand others on a deeply spiritual and compassionate level.
This transit is associated with secret romances and behind-the-scenes
activity. We are attracted to places of retreat and romantic privacy.
<< Sunday 13 February >>
Later tonight we may experience a 'wet blanket' atmosphere as Venus conjuncts
Saturn at 01Pisces. This may not be much fun, but it can be effectively
utilized to reestablish relationships on a firmer foundations over the next
couple of days. We may experience restrictions, delays, or roadblocks of an
emotional nature. We may feel better if we spend some time redecorating.
<< Tuesday 15 February >>
We may be confronted with challenges today as Mars at 14Aquarius squares
Jupiter at 14Scorpio. These challenges are likely to be a result of the
overexpansion of our desires, or expansion into areas which are not
productive. We may move ahead too fast and thereby miss some important
things which could lead us into accidents. The overexpansion could also be
of the ego, leading to an over-competitive attitude. Be cautious, and try
to relax and let it ride instead of pushing it to the limit.
<< Wednesday 16 February >>
Communication within relationships is accentuated today as Mercury conjuncts
Venus at 05Pisces. In Pisces this aspect may promote some reconciliation for
emotional slights directed towards each other in the past, and with Mercury
retrograde we may have built up a sizable number of these. We may become much
more likely to comment on flaws and misunderstandings in our own thinking
processes instead of blaming others. This is typically a rather nice light
aspect. The retrograde character of Mercury may internalize these effects
but the influences should still retain their positive character.
Bad feelings are apt to flare up in an open encounter today as the Sun at
28Aquarius squares Pluto at 28Scorpio. For this aspect the Sun can represent
powerful authority figures and Pluto can indicate the emotional eruption of
hidden grudges. This is a good day to keep our mouths shut so we don't
close any doors behind ourselves.
---------------------
Moon's Second Quarter : Friday 18 February - Friday 25 February
---------------------
<< Friday 18 February >>
Today the Sun enters Pisces for a stay until 20March. The mutable Piscean
influences (ruled by Neptune) bring a more sensitive and emotional attitude
compared to the fixed mental expressions of Aquarius. People may become more
sensitive, creative, and romantic, and will strive for insights on deeper
emotional levels. The following chart highlights this sun-sign transition.
Aquarius Pisces
--------- --------
Duality Masculine Feminine
Element Air Water
Quality Fixed Mutable
Planet Uranus Neptune
Keyword 'I Know' 'I Believe'
Polarity Leo Virgo
Body Parts Shins, Ankles Feet
Animals Large Birds Fish
<< Saturday 19 February >>
On this day, those in authority may issue orders in especially cold and
insensitive terms as Mercury retrograde conjuncts Saturn at 02Pisces.
As a result of this harsh treatment the abused may become a dangerous enemy.
This aspect will especially impact those involved with communication or
transport services, or with issues relating to restrictions on communications.
<< Sunday 20 February >>
We can enjoy more effective self-expression today as the Sun conjuncts
Mercury at 01Pisces. We will gain abundant mental energy which allows us to
pay close attention to details. A short trip may also be enjoyable now.
Pisces sensitivity will be heightened, and more easily expressed.
<< Monday 21 February >>
Today Mercury transits retrograde from Pisces to Aquarius for a stay until
18March. Mercury entering Aquarius indicates that our mental faculties
will surface from the emotional haze of Pisces with idealistic Aquarian
ideas emphasizing humanitarian and group goals. Our communications are more
conducive to the establishment of friendships, yet in a somewhat detached way.
Restrictions or increased responsibilities may weigh heavily upon us today
and may be sobering or depressing as the Sun conjuncts Saturn at 02Pisces.
This may also represent a disciplinarian attitude toward using authority.
Arthritis or joint pain may also kick up and restrict some people's mobility.
Try to do something practical today, or reconsider long-range plans.
<< Wednesday 23 February >>
We will replay an aspect recently encountered on February 10th again today
with Mercury at 28Aquarius squaring Pluto at 28Scorpio. With Mercury
retrograde our new ways of thinking may be a bit more clouded now, but we
will have a final opportunity to revisit this same aspect for a final time
later in March with Mercury in direct motion.
<< Thursday 24 February >>
We may become romantically inclined today as Venus at 14Pisces trines
Jupiter at 14Scorpio ... one of the most enjoyable astrological aspects.
This aspect could enable us to break out from restrictive influences and
construct a new foundation for our affectional interests. Venus trine
Jupiter is also excellent for a bit of redecorating around the home or
office. Artistic endeavors involving music or art are likely to give us
pleasure and turn out well due to the great creative potential. This is
a time when we may finally receive deserved rewards which were previously
earned, and when we are likely to demonstrate more benevolence toward others.
--------------------
Moon's Third Quarter : Friday 25 February - Friday 4 March
--------------------
<< Wednesday 23 February >>
The Moon is full at 9:15PM today with the Moon at 01Virgo opposed to the Sun
at 01Pisces. This mutable-sign opposition should allow for enough flexibility
to work around any problems or conflict we encounter. Try not to be too
critical of others (Virgo) since it may affect them emotionally much more
than intended (Pisces).
<< Sunday 27 February >>
Dynamic and forceful communications which may become antagonistic are
likely today as Mercury conjuncts Mars at 24Aquarius. With both planets
in Aquarius much intensity may be directed towards idealistic group goals
with may require a firmer base in reality.
<< Monday 28 February >>
Our expansive tendencies in relationships begins to settle back into a
period of consolidation today as Jupiter at 14Scorpio turns retrograde until
02July. This is not the best period to buy a new house or property, or to
build additions onto your current property. Expansion of any kind may not
turn out as planned. Instead, attempt to complete and consolidate current
efforts in preparation for a new wave of expansion beginning in May.
<< Tuesday 1 March >>
Pluto at 28Scorpio turns retrograde today until 05August. For a few days
while Pluto is essentially stationary but about to turn retrograde it can
bring out power struggles involving matters of business finances, debts,
loans, and other major changes which are often irreversible. Don't cling to
things which are falling by the wayside. Try not to react to the inevitable
destruction of some things by making decisions which preclude future options.
If it doesn't fit in your life don't blow it up ... blow it out of your life.
<< Wednesday 2 March >>
Our creative and romantic imagination is aroused as Venus at 22Pisces
sextiles Neptune at ssCapricorn. Our appreciation of beauty and our
sensitivity to the feelings of others are enhanced.
---------------------
Moon's Fourth Quarter : Friday 4 March - Saturday 12 March
---------------------
<< Friday 4 March >>
Exciting new love interests may arise today as Venus at 25Scorpio sextiles
Uranus at 25Capricorn. Science or art may figure in the excitement.
Relationships stemming from these encounters are likely to be mature and
responsible with a touch of prudishness, yet they can be embellished by
an intense and sensual emotional attraction.
This is a challenging time for creatively transforming the world around
us as Mars at 28Aquarius squares Pluto at 28Scorpio. Power struggles and
disagreements may ensue. Energy levels are high and this aspect arouses
ambition, but be careful of arousing opposition in the people you confront,
because it may be fierce. Don't act ruthlessly or underhandedly toward
others no matter how angry you become. Avoid dangerous places and activities.
<< Saturday 5 March >>
Mercury at 22Aquarius turns to direct motion today which will gradually
allow communications to flow more smoothly, and will reduce the effects
of distractive interruptions.
This should be an optimistic and happy day or two as the Sun at 14Pisces
trines Jupiter retrograde at 14Scorpio. With both in Water signs our
emotional outlook may get quite a boost. With Jupiter currently retrograde
we may end up a bit over-extended, but we should still take this aspect and
run with it! Throw a party, or at least attend one. This aspect is also
favorable for completing home renovations which never quite got finished.
<< Sunday 6 March >>
We may become overwhelmed with intense emotions as Venus at 25Pisces trines
Pluto at 28Scorpio. This aspect imparts a capability for the highest form of
love, and is accompanied by strong sexual drives. The power of love can have
a transforming effect on others. The placement of these planets in water
signs favors the more sensitive and steamy romantic encounters.
<< Monday 7 March >>
Mars enters Pisces today for a stay until 14April. This is an excellent
transit for creating very harmonious love relationships, so you may be able
to use these tendencies to counteract any lingering aloofness from Mars in
Aquarius. Mars in Pisces is not as energetic as Mars in many (any?) other
signs, but it can be the most sensitive and and 'mushy' placement for romance
(we aren't just saying that because both our natal Mars' are in Pisces ;-}).
<< Tuesday 8 March >>
The activity level in our relationships will increase markedly as Venus
enters Aries for a brief stay until 1April. During this transit we become more
impulsive and aggressive in our emotional expressions. Affections can also
become impulsive and unstable. The opposite/complementary energies of Jupiter
in Libra can be invaluable for providing balance and harmony in relationships
during this period of rapid-fire emotional activity.
The next new moon occurs in Pisces on 12March. Until then ... plan ahead
to avoid overcommitment during the Mercury retrograde period, and begin the
shift from know-it-all Aquarian attitudes to the more sensitive emotional
receptiveness of Pisces.

Astrology Watch Highlights
==========================
The new moon on 12March in Pisces (mutable water) provides us with
opportunities to reestablish a close connection with our deepest and most
profound feelings. Pisces is ruled by Neptune (sublime delusion) and relates
to 12th house concerns of unconscious emotions, past experiences, intuitive
thoughts, behind the scenes actions, incarceration, and institutions.
As a mutable sign, Piscean energies are flexible; and as a water sign the
energy is expressed through emotions rather than through actions (fire),
things (earth), or thoughts (air). Using Piscean influences, we can enjoy
art, music, poetry and any project that requires sensitivity and creative,
imaginative thought. To maximize growth during this new moon cycle allow
your psychic and intuitive perceptions to manifest, share compassionate
feelings for others, and help behind the scenes with institutions or social
organizations.
While Jupiter an Pluto are retrograde, Mercury has just turned to direct
motion. As Mercury picks up speed, some of the issues which have seemed
to hang on and on for quite some time may be resolved quickly.
---------------------
Moon's First Quarter : Saturday 12 March - Sunday 20 March
---------------------
<< Sunday 13 March >>
Our psychic sensitivities will be heightened today as the Sun at 23Pisces
sextiles Neptune at 23Capricorn. We may be able to unify many aspects of
our inner and outer spiritual natures. While we may feel a bit confused,
if we apply a little extra effort we may be able to clarify many spiritual
questions which have been plaguing us for some time.
We can express strong self-discipline, sober thinking, and impressive
reasoning power today as Mars conjuncts Saturn at 05Pisces. We are more
able to concentrate on detailed work, and our actions are more disciplined
and controlled. This aspect may feel like driving with the brakes on.
<< Wednesday 16 March >>
The Sun at 25Pisces sextiles Uranus at 25Capricorn today. This highlights
practical new discoveries and useful new inventions, likely to be
work-related. The Sun-Uranus sextile may bring some mild relief from recent
tensions, and encourage the redirection of our energies into new areas.
Our manner of communicating to ourselves and others may undergo challenges
later today as Mercury at 28Aquarius squares Pluto at 28Scorpio. Challenges
may be severe enough to divert us to a new way of thinking about ourselves
and of communicating to others. Powerful and forceful communications may
be expressed, and with both planets in fixed signs neither side is likely
to budge. Our best bet is to accept any criticism from others with a calm
and listening ear, and then use the feedback to modify our attitudes and
behaviors. While this sounds good, it may not be so easy to accomplish today.
<< Friday 18 March >>
Today Mercury enters Pisces for a stay until it enters Aries on 09April.
When Mercury is in Pisces (ruled by Neptune) we can become more in touch
with the hidden sides of our personalities and our unconscious drives, yet
we are more likely to keep such insights to ourselves. We are likely to have
increased concern with spiritual development, and may feel like escaping into
reclusion to sort out our ideas. Keeping secrets from others will only
undermine their confidence in us once the hidden secrets are revealed.
We have an opportunity to make progressive changes through increased
willpower and resourcefulness today as the Sun at 28Pisces trines Pluto at
28Scorpio. Clairvoyance is highly stimulated, and efforts at spiritual,
mental or physical self-improvement are favored. We may assume a professional
leadership role, and may benefit through insurance, inheritance, or taxes.
---------------------
Moon's Second Quarter : Sunday 20 March - Sunday 27 March
---------------------
<< Sunday 20 March >>
The Sun enters Aries today for a stay until 20April. This marks the Vernal
Equinox and the beginning of Spring! The Aries dynamism is reflected as the
initiation of new life: flowers budding, animals mating, and people doing
all those romantic things they are known for. Keep in mind that Aries is
a Cardinal (active) Fire sign, and try to keep your cool since there may
be some people acting more inflammatory than usual.
This is actually one of the most significant Sun-sign transitions since it
signifies the culmination of one natural astrological cycle (Pisces .. natural
12th house) and the initiation of a new cycle (Aries .. natural 1st house).
This Sun-sign transition is highlighted in the following table:
Pisces Aries
---------- ----------
Duality Feminine Masculine
Element Water Fire
Quality Mutable Cardinal
Keyword 'I Believe' 'I Am'
Polarity Virgo Libra
Body Parts Feet Head
Animals Fish Ram
<< Thursday 24 March >>
On this day, those in authority may issue orders in especially cold and
insensitive terms as Mercury conjuncts Saturn at 06Pisces. As a result
of this harshness the abused may become a dangerous enemy. This aspect
will especially impact those involved with communication or transport
services, or with issues relating to restrictions on communications.
We may experience steadfast progress on projects at work or at home today
as Mars at 13Pisces trines Jupiter at 13Scorpio. Our desires and ego
concerns may be pleasantly satisfied, although maybe not quite as much
as we would like due to Jupiter's retrograde motion.
--------------------
Moon's Third Quarter : Sunday 27 March - Saturday 2 April
--------------------
<< Sunday 27 March >>
The Moon is full this morning with the Moon at 06Libra opposing the Sun at
06Aries. This is a firecracker of a full Moon, and we should garner all of
the reconciling influences of Libra to counteract the sharp and sometimes
offensive actions of Aries.
Avoid indulgences and self-pity today as Venus at 23Aries squares Neptune at
23Capricorn. Beware of being swept into depression and emotional confusion.
Watch the road carefully, don't daydream while driving.
<< Tuesday 29 March >>
We may seek excitement in love relationships, even to the point of provoking
fights today, as Venus at 26Aries squares Uranus at 26Capricorn. Patience is
demanded, yet Venus in Aries must struggle to be patient with anything. Don't
flirt too much today or you may provoke a major confrontation with someone you
love. Try to keep a lid on impulsive spending since the excitement of buying
will pass long before the bills are paid ;-}.
Our mental outlook is looking up today with optimistic viewpoints as Mercury
at 13Pisces trines Jupiter at 13Scorpio. This aspect may be accompanied by
job opportunities for interesting and rewarding work, or promotions. At this
time communications are smooth and philosophically minded. We demonstrate a
good balance between attention to detail versus our grasp of the comprehensive
view. Our health may improve through relaxation or excercise. This aspect is
favorable for study, writing, teaching, interacting with the communications
media, or travel related to philosophy, religion, or higher education.
<< Friday 1 April >>
Venus enters its own sign Taurus this afternoon for a stay until 26April.
This transit is a pleasant one, and the fixed sign influence can lend
stability to our love relationships. Artistry and love are viewed in a
more possesive and security-minded way, with a more practical and serious
approach. Practice, study, and earthy sensuality are favored.
---------------------
Moon's Fourth Quarter : Saturday 2 April - Sunday 10 April
---------------------
<< Mercury 4 April >>
Our mind and communication faculties can be lightning quick today as Mercury
conjuncts Mars at 22Pisces. Our highly active mind should be able to get
points across easily and quickly. Agressive communications may ensue, yet
expressions of empathy may allow them to be resolved smoothly.
<< Tuesday 5 April >>
Our perceptions will be keen as Mercury at 23Pisces sextiles Neptune
at 23Capricorn. This aspect stimulates a fertile imagination, and we may
become more than a bit dreamy. Creative writing is especially favored.
Our psychic energy is further stimulated today as Mars at 23Pisces sextiles
Neptune at 23Capricorn. This aspect may spur changes which can lead to
excitement, and can heighten our intuition concerning our goals and drives.
<< Thursday 7 April >>
Our mind may be racing today as Mercury at 26Pisces sextiles Uranus at
26Capricorn. This aspect stimulates quick intuitive and inventive thinking,
and enhances original dramatic expression. Inventions or discoveries are
favored in electronics, science or engineering. Try some brainstorming of
innovative new career or work ideas.
<< Friday 8 April >>
We may be able to bring a new sense of structure and order to broken
relationships as Venus at 08Taurus sextiles Saturn at 08Pisces. This is
an excellent time to sit down and arrive at a conscious understanding of
what each person expects from the other in a relationship. Venus sextile
Saturn favors tasks requiring thoroughness and attention to detail.
We may be struck by some highly penetrating and profound ideas as Mercury at
27Pisces trines Pluto at 27Scorpio. This is an excellent day for inventions
and discoveries. It also favors long range planning and insightful thoughts
of future reforms or changes.
<< Saturday 9 April >>
Mercury enters Aries today for a stay until 25April. With Mercury in Aries
we are likely to react with quick and aggressive mental responses. There is
an abundance of mental energy during this time, but we are more likely to act
first and think later. This is a perfect time to start a resolution to "Count
to Ten before Flaming", but it will be a very difficult period to hold to it.
Unexpected events may cause either disruption or inspiration today as Mars
at 26Pisces sextiles Uranus at 26Capricorn. Our desires may be surprisingly
fulfilled, and we could enjoy success with almost anything that we seriously
attempt. Watch out for the other guy while driving today.
The next new moon occurs in Aries on 10April. Until then ... start planning
for things to run a bit more smoothly now that Mercury is direct, and try to
make the most of the several favorable aspects to the outer planets Uranus,
Neptune and Pluto during this Moon cycle.

Astrology Watch Highlights
==========================
The new moon on 10April in Aries (cardinal fire) provides us with an
opportunity to make a fresh start. Aries is the astrological new year,
and thus a time for new beginnings. Aries is ruled by Mars (desire and
aggression) and relates to 1st house concerns of ego, independence, new
ventures, self-awareness and discovery.
As a cardinal sign, Aries energies are dynamic; and as a fire sign, energy
is expressed through actions rather than through emotions (water), things
(earth), or thoughts (air). Using Aries influences, individuals can enjoy
competitive sports, new projects, and any activity that requires direct
assertiveness. We should guard against over-impulsiveness or being too
headstrong. To maximize growth during this new moon cycle initiate changes
now. This is a new chance for making New Year's resolutions, so start fresh,
develop new ideas, explore new options, and try new things.
--------------------
Moon's First Quarter : Sunday 10 April - Monday 18 April
--------------------
<< Monday 11 April >>
Indulgence, exaggeration, and wasted time are likely today as Venus at
10Taurus opposes Jupiter retrograde at 10Scorpio. It is likely to be very
indulgent, but we deserve a bit of indulgence today ;-}. Since both planets
are benefic, this opposition aspect is only slightly troublesome, and may in
fact be rather enjoyable. The opposition merely indicates some potentially
unchecked expansiveness or impulsiveness.
We can mobilize powerful energy for rebuilding today as Mars at 26Pisces
trines Pluto at 26Scorpio. With both planets in water signs and Pluto in
Scorpio, intense emotional experiences or a profound sexual union may ensue.
<< Wednesday 13 April >>
Our energies may dissipate quickly today as the Sun at 23Aries squares
Neptune at 23Capricorn. Our body may need to take the day off today.
Depletion of our physical reserves may simply be a symptom of more general
feelings of inadequacy and lack of confidence.
<< Thursday 14 April >>
Mars enters its own sign Aries today for a stay until 23May. Our desire
nature and physical energies can be very active and potent in Aries, but we
should try to restrain our desires from becoming so inflammatory that we
burn others. This can be an energetic, dynamic, and fast-moving period.
<< Saturday 16 April >>
We should prepare for and beware of sudden upsets and disruptive situations
as the Sun at 26Aries squares Uranus at 26Capricorn. We desire to break
down our everyday routines today, yet we may end up taking foolhardy risks
to do so. Be extra careful today since we tend to be more accident prone.
Learn to go with the flow of disruptions, and avoid arguing or you could
make things worse.
---------------------
Moon's Second Quarter : Monday 18 April - Monday 25 April
---------------------
<< Wednesday 20 April >>
The Sun enters Taurus (fixed, earth) today for a stay until 21May, ushering
in the fixed portion of the Spring season. Plant or transplant your gardens
now to encourage steady growth, and sow new seeds for hardy development.
Aries has been rushing out in new directions, now Taurus sets our feet back
firmly on the ground. The following chart highlights this sun-sign transition.
Aries Taurus
---------- ----------
Duality Masculine Feminine
Element Fire Earth
Quality Cardinal Fixed
Keyword 'I Am' 'I Have'
Polarity Libra Scorpio
Body Parts Head Neck and Throat
Animals Ram Bull
Creative expression inspired by dreams is favored today as Venus at
23Taurus trines Neptune at 23Capricorn. Warm compassion and highly
idealistic love can combine to create a misty romantic atmosphere.
<< Friday 22 April >>
Our practical thinking may become deluded as Mercury at 23Aries squares
Neptune at 23Capricorn. We may have difficulty arriving at any definitive
conclusions, yet this aspect can be good for more creative thinking.
<< Saturday 23 April >>
Exciting new love interests may arise today as Venus at 26Taurus trines
Uranus at 26Capricorn. Science or art may figure in the excitement.
Our minds may be stimulated with exciting new ideas as Mercury at 26Aries
squares Uranus at 26Capricorn. We may become bored or nervous, or have
difficulty concentrating on daily tasks. Established plans may not work
out as intended, so try to remain flexible.
The challenge today is to transform romantic inspirations into a more
stable form as Venus at 27Taurus opposes Pluto at 27Scorpio. This opposition
can lead to excessive jealousy, controlling of others, or allowing others to
control you. The stubbornness inherent in this opposition in fixed signs
suggests wisdom in the avoidance of head-to-head conflict today.
--------------------
Moon's Third Quarter : Monday 25 April - Monday 2 May
--------------------
<< Monday 25 April >>
Neptune at 23Capricorn turns retrograde today until 02October. This
transit accentuates our internal conflicts between dreams versus practicality.
We need to use and cultivate our imagination even in opposition to practical
issues, and we need to get our affairs in order. Many things which have been
kept concealed for a long time may be exposed as Neptune turns retrograde.
Mercury enters Taurus today for a stay until 09May. During this time our
thinking will be practical and deliberate. A danger of this Mercury placement
is mental complacency, yet careful planning and patience are supported, and
real-estate transactions are favored. We are likely to engage in practical
down-to-earth communications, yet we may retain fixed mental attitudes.
Our attention turns towards what we value. We may experience a short period
of mental confusion as Mercury changes signs.
The moon is full tonight with the Moon at 05Scorpio opposing the Sun at
05Taurus. This fixed-sign full moon could lead to stubborness and
entrenchment in fixed views without accepting input from others. Keeping
an open mind and avoiding painting yourself into a corner with fixed ideas
will pay off later in the week as the Moon enters free-thinking Sagittarius.
<< Tuesday 26 April >>
We will feel a shift in our values and relationships as Venus enters Gemini
for a stay until 20May. During this transit we will tend to place more
value on ideas and intellectual pursuits. We are interested in establishing
friendships, but will stay somewhat on the surface instead of getting deeply
involved. Conversation can be witty, and generally interpersonal relations
are lighter and more enjoyable. Our values are changeable, and we are
flexible enough to change our viewpoints. This applies to our love life too
as Venus in Gemini can be associated with multiple or fickle love interests.
<< Thursday 28 April >>
We may finally make significant progress in business and professional
affairs today as Jupiter at 10Scorpio trines Saturn at 10Pisces. This is
a good time to seek employment or initiate important business activities,
and to consolidate one's professional or financial position. This aspect
is also favorable for handling legal affairs or government regulations.
We are able to apply philosophic and ethical standards in a practical way
and with integrity. We can adopt a serious-minded responsible attitude
toward long-range goals, and will display a more responsible attitude toward
family affairs. This aspect provides an excellent balance between optimism
and caution which can securely move us ahead on our chosen paths. With
Jupiter retrograde, this may not be our final move, yet it should expand
our future path options.
<< Saturday 30 April >>
We should beware of dramatic overspending on purely ego-gratifying pursuits
today as the Sun at 10Taurus opposes Jupiter at 10Scorpio. The effects of this
opposition are hard to resist (so maybe you can afford to pamper yourself just
a little bit ;-}) but if unchecked, this energy can result in a wasted day of
extravagance and exaggeration. If we don't overdo it then it should be fun!
We are apt to spend too much money on frivolous purchases or to overlook
important details today as Mercury at 10Taurus opposes Jupiter at 10Scorpio.
We enjoy optimistic feelings, but we should be careful not to become too
cocky by relying only on our luck or we may be disappointed.
There is apt to be a lot of down-to-earth communications today as the Sun
conjuncts Mercury at 10Taurus. The influences are excellent for starting
new projects, especially if they pertain to earthy or practical concerns.
This is an excellent day to tend root vegetables in your garden. We may
also enjoy a touch of self-confident optimism today.
Our capacity for organization is enhanced as Mercury at 10Taurus sextiles
Saturn at 10Pisces. This aspect encourages us to leave nothing to chance.
Carefully recording your dreams today may yield additional insights.
We enjoy an orderly state of mind and self-discipline which is excellent
for energetic and constructive work as the Sun at 10Taurus sextiles Saturn at
10Pisces. This aspect confers constructive ambition, good organization,
and a mature attitude. This is a very favorable time for important
communications with those in power. We are likely to make steady progress
toward goals, and enjoy an enhanced sense of dignity. Some initiative and
patience may be required in order to reap the benefits of this aspect.
Uranus turns retrograde today at 26Capricorn until 01October. During
this period our organization and self-discipline, though well-meaning, may
falter. There is a need to accept practical responsibilities. If they
are not dealt with effectively then sudden events may disrupt our life which
require change and adaptability.
---------------------
Moon's Fourth Quarter : Monday 2 May - Tuesday 10 May
---------------------
<< Wednesday 4 May >>
We may be able to bring a new sense of structure and order to broken
relationships as Venus at 10Gemini squares Saturn at 10Pisces. This can
be an appropriate time to sit down and arrive at a conscious understanding
of what each person expects from the other in a relationship. We may feel
a burden of responsibility which requires significant effort on our part.
This is an excellent time for practical creativity and our imaginative powers
as Mercury at 23Taurus trines Neptune at 23Capricorn. We may achieve harmony
through creative pursuits, or we may just enjoy daydreaming today.
We may feel bright and alert today as Mercury at 26Taurus trines Uranus at
26Capricorn. We can generate ambitious new ideas relying upon conservative
ground-work, and some of our inventions or discoveries may be surprising or
even startling. Practical science discoveries are emphasized.
Keep an open mind to revolutionary ideas today as Mercury at 27Taurus
opposes Pluto at 27Scorpio. Upsetting events may occur, possibly during
travel, which force a reform of our regular thought structures, but we may
have needed a bit of adjustment. We can delve to the roots of problems,
but attempts to persuade others could result in conflicts.
Mercury enters its own sign Gemini today for a stay until 28May. With
Mercury in Gemini our thinking is active and versatile yet scattered, and
we may be very humorous and witty. Our thoughts may be flighty, making
concentration on a single goal difficult, yet we may be able to make progress
on several tasks in parallel. Manual and verbal dexterity is enhanced.
Mercury in talkative, quick-thinking Gemini is great for learning new things
or adapting to new ways of thinking.
The next new Moon occurs in Taurus on May 10th, and will be a bit more
influential as it is associated with an Annular Solar Eclipse. Until then ...
adopt a fresh exploratory Aries attitude to get up and get going in new
and exciting directions. Go for it!

Astrology Watch Highlights
==========================
The new moon on May 10th at 19Taurus (fixed earth) provides an opportunity
to initiate new projects on a firm and stable foundation. Since Taurus is
ruled by Venus, this could mean a new love relationship or new stability
within an existing relationship.
As a fixed sign, Taurus energies are stable; and as an earth sign energy
is expressed through tangible things rather than through emotions (water),
actions (fire), or ideas (air). Using Taurean influences, individuals
can enjoy gardening, fixing up a house, practical domestic tasks, secure love
relationships, and issues relating to assets and possessions. We should
guard against becoming too closed-minded, too stubborn, or too materialistic.
The influence of this new moon period may last six months or more as it is
associated with an annular solar eclipse. A solar eclipse occurs when the
Moon occludes the Sun as seen from earth. Annular refers to the "ring" of
the Sun which surrounds the shadow of the Moon during this eclipse. Annular
eclipses occur when the Moon is relatively far from the earth so the Moon
does not occlude the entire disk of the Sun. If the Moon is closer to the
earth then a total solar eclipse may occur which can occlude the entire disk
of the Sun leaving only the corona visible. The annular eclipse is thought
to be particularly potent since the force of the Sun actually surrounds and
envelops the Moon. This signifies a cleansing by fire of our emotional lunar
attachments, and a tighter integration of our active and receptive natures.
To maximize growth during this new moon cycle we should till soil and sow
seeds in our physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual gardens, thus
initiating germination of earthy and practical beginnings which can yield
future hardy growth. The same applies for flower or vegetable gardens.
--------------------
Moon's First Quarter : Tuesday 10 May - Wednesday 18 May
--------------------
<< Saturday 14 May >>
Psychic energy is heightened today as the Sun at 23Taurus trines Neptune
at 23Capricorn. There is great potential for creating tangible results using
our imagination. Insights may be practical, yet daydreaming is likely. This
aspect can create a powerful climate for positive action and long-term change.
Our energies may dissipate into a haze today as Mars at 23Aries squares
Neptune at 23Capricorn. This can lead to laziness, procrastination, or
even religious fanaticism. Our desires can be deluded so don't push them.
<< Sunday 15 May >>
Our mental ideas and thinking patterns may face obstructions which can lead
us into a depressive turn of mind today as Mercury at 11Gemini squares Saturn
at 11Pisces. Travel arrangements may also face some snags, and we may
just feel generally down in the dumps.
<< Monday 16 May >>
We can easily communicate our feelings to others today as Venus at 24Gemini
sextiles Mars at 24Aries. This aspect may lead to pleasant and romantic
experiences which may build upon the spark of Aries desires.
<< Tuesday 17 May >>
Intuitive, original, and eccentric actions are encouraged today as the Sun
at 26Taurus trines Uranus at 26Capricorn. We are likely to express a strong
desire for independence. Practical science and electronics are favored.
Remain flexible today as the Sun at 26Taurus opposes Pluto at 26Scorpio.
This aspect may indicate trouble with friends, lovers or authority figures
due to stubborness and not allowing others to have their say. Secrets may
come out due to the ego and honesty of the Sun opposing the secrecy and
keep-everything-under-wraps attitude of Pluto in Scorpio. If you make the
mistake of making someone really angry today (by revealing their secrets!?!),
then they may remember it for a very long time.
---------------------
Moon's Second Quarter : Wednesday 18 May - Wednesday 25 May
---------------------
<< Wednesday 18 May >>
Be careful of accidents with cars or sharp objects today as Mars at 26Aries
squares Uranus at 26Capricorn. Dull your knives and stay at home ;-}.
<< Friday 20 May >>
Emotional issues will come to the fore as Venus enters Cancer for a stay
until 15June. During this transit higher value is placed on relationships,
emotions, feminine issues, concerns with mother, caring, and nurturing.
We are apt to feel more affectionate, and to require affection more often.
We may become possessive or clinging in love relationships and friendships
(those crab's claws can grab and hold for a long time :-}). We can enjoy
home-cooked food and things which make our home cozy and comfortable.
<< Saturday 21 May >>
The Sun transitions from Taurus (fixed earth) to Gemini (mutable air) today
for a stay until 21June, ushering in the mutable or changable portion of the
Spring season. The following chart highlights this sun-sign transition.
Taurus Gemini
---------- ----------
Duality Feminine Masculine
Element Earth Air
Quality Fixed Mutable
Keyword 'I Have' 'I Think'
Polarity Scorpio Sagittarius
Body Parts Neck,Throat Hands,Arms,Lungs
Animals Cattle Bright birds, butterflies
The Sun in Gemini indicates a more mental and somewhat scattered energy which
is expressed through the communication of ideas, compared to the stable and
grounded energy associated with the Sun in Taurus. Gemini is known for
superficiality, but also for intellect, wit, charm, and twins.
<< Monday 23 May >>
Mars enters Taurus today until 03July following its recent stay in Aries.
People may notice a slow-down of all activities since Mars in Aries was quite
a firecracker, but Mars in Taurus becomes much more stable and can plod
steadfastly and stubbornly towards longer range goals. This sign transition
exemplifies the two characters in the classic story of the tortoise (Mars in
Taurus) and the hare (Mars in Aries).
--------------------
Moon's Third Quarter : Wednesday 18 May - Wednesday 1 June
--------------------
<< Wednesday 25 May >>
The moon is full today with the Moon at 03Sagittarius opposing the Sun at
03Gemini. This mutable-sign full moon is associated with a partial lunar
eclipse which will strengthen the impact of any actions taken during this
open-minded and free-wheeling full moon period. Flirting may be rampant,
and can be fun, but try not to confuse the superficial with the meaningful.
<< Thrusday 26 May >>
We may become romantically inclined today as Venus at 06Cancer trines
Jupiter at 06Scorpio ... one of the most positive astrological aspects.
This aspect could enable us to break out from restrictive influences and
construct a new foundation for our affectional interests. Venus trine
Jupiter is also excellent for a bit of redecorating around the home or office.
Artistic endeavors involving music or art are likely to give you pleasure and
turn out well due to the great creative potential. This is a time when we may
finally receive deserved rewards which were previously earned, and when we are
likely to demonstrate more benevolence toward others.
<< Saturday 28 May >>
We may find our communications miss the mark a bit (like a brief Mercury
retrograde period) as Mercury transits from Gemini to Cancer, where it will
stay until 02July. With Mercury in Cancer our thoughts will be strongly
affected by emotions. We are apt to have clouded communications which are
highly subjective, yet we can be very empathetic and nurturing.
<< Monday 30 May >>
We can gain inner strength with personal relationships today as Venus at
12Cancer trines Saturn at 12Pisces. Friendships and love relationships can
gain mental stability on a more secure and honest communicative foundation.
We may feel more willing and able to make significant interpersonal
commitments today. Cancer and Piscean influences can impart emotional
sensitivity to otherwise serious discussions.
<< Tuesday 31 May >>
We may become competetive and energetic to the point of mania today as
Mars at 06Taurus opposes Jupiter at 06Scorpio. This could be fun but we must
guard against over-cockiness or over-extending ourselves, and we should use
extra caution while driving. The Taurus/Scorpio polarity may pit Jupiterian
emotional expansiveness against some overly practical or physical desires.
---------------------
Moon's Fourth Quarter : Wednesday 1 June - Tuesday 9 June
---------------------
<< Thursday 2 June >>
Our egos may be impeded or our energies may be worn down today as the Sun
at 12Gemini squares Saturn at 12Pisces. Any issues we force are likely to
result in equal force opposition. Try to remain low-key to avoid the
negative expressions of this aspect.
<< Saturday 4 June >>
Our mental outlook is looking up today with optimistic viewpoints as Mercury
at 06Cancer trines Jupiter at 06Scorpio. This aspect may be accompanied by
job opportunities for interesting and rewarding work, or promotions. At this
time communications are smooth and philosophically minded. We demonstrate a
good balance between attention to detail versus grasp of the comprehensive
view. Health may improve through relaxation or excercise. This aspect is
favorable for study, writing, teaching, interacting with the communications
media, or travel related to philosophy, religion, or higher education.
<< Thursday 9 June >>
We are likely to be in a bit of a fog today with confusion and deception
over our relationships as Venus at 23Cancer opposes Neptune at 23Capricorn.
Try not to be too idealistic, or to become lost in daydreams or drugs.
Psychic faculties are heightened, but impressions may be hazy or we may fool
ourselves by coloring our impressions with what we WANT to see. We may thus
be deceived by a friend or lover. We enjoy romance, but it may not be real.
Influences are favorable for initiating career or physical training regimens
today as Mars at 12Taurus sextiles Saturn at 12Scorpio. Our work should
proceed smoothly if we are properly prepared.
The next new Moon occurs in Gemini on June 9th. Until then ... establish
your personal stability through Taurean influences, and try to keep the Mars
in Aries internal combustion engine tuned properly so the flames don't leak
out and ignite someone you love.
Thanks very much for the recent comments of appreciation! We try our best.
Keep watching!
Lisa and Todd

Astrology Watch Highlights
==========================
The new moon in Gemini (mutable air) on 9Jun provides opportunities to
develop objectivity and to engage in stimulating communications. Gemini
is ruled by Mercury which enhances our spoken, written, and acted expressions,
and can stimulate travel.
As a mutable sign, Gemini energies fluctuate; and as an air sign energy is
expressed through ideas or communications (air) rather than emotions (water),
actions (fire), or things (earth). Using Gemini influences we can enjoy
objectivity, flexibility, versatility and wit. Guard against becoming too
nervous and edgy, or too talkative when there is little of substance to say.
To maximize growth during this new moon cycle we should stress honesty, and
encourage ourselves and others to talk about our feelings and sensitivities.
--------------------
Moon's First Quarter : Thursday 9 June - Thursday 16 June
--------------------
<< Thursday 9 June >>
We are likely to be in a bit of a fog today with confusion and deception
over our relationships as Venus at 23Cancer opposes Neptune at 23Capricorn.
Try not to be too idealistic, or to become lost in daydreams or drugs.
Psychic faculties are heightened, but impressions may be hazy or we may fool
ourselves by coloring our impressions with what we WANT to see. We may thus
be deceived by a friend or lover. We enjoy romance, but it may not be real.
We may be able to effectively initiate career or physical training regimens
today as Mars at 12Taurus sextiles Saturn at 12Pisces. With Mars in the fixed
sign Taurus, our efforts may result in lasting changes. Our work should
proceed smoothly today if we are properly prepared.
<< Saturday 11 June >>
Conflicts between our need for love versus our need for freedom are
highlighted today as Venus at 26Cancer opposes Uranus at 26Capricorn.
We may feel a need for intimacy and closeness, but also a fear of being
smothered. This aspect can be very confusing for love relationships, and
may lead to an abrupt ending of an existing relationship, or to an exciting
beginning of a new relationship (which is unfortunately not likely to last
long). The effects of this aspect may manifest as conflicts between home
life (Cancer) and career ambitions (Capricorn).
Our emotional expressions will be intense and profound as Venus at 26Cancer
trines Pluto at 26Scorpio. Meetings with new people may feel pre-ordained,
and could result in intense and sexual relationships. New insights into the
workings behind the scenes of relationships should be carefully listened to.
<< Sunday 12 June >>
Mercury turns retrograde at 08Cancer today until 06July. When Mercury is
retrograde our communication faculties slow down, we become more reflective,
and communications in general falter. Try to allow extra time, and be content
to let things happen at their own pace. Don't make your schedule too tight
for this period, as there will likely be unforeseen delays. Be careful what
you say or write due to inevitable misinterpretations. Do not expect anyone
to understand your idioms or inuendos. Due to miscommunications on all levels,
this is _not_ a good time to sign contracts. This _is_ a good time for
reassessing old ideas but not so good for initiating new ideas since you may
not be accurately grasping the context. Reconsider ideas which seem inspired.
<< Wednesday 15 June >>
Venus enters Leo today for a stay until 11July. This transit confers
loyalty and generosity to lovers and friends, love of children, being in
love with love, and a passionate nature. We may become over-dramatic or
egotistical, may overspend on luxury items, and may become overly concerned
with our own personal beauty (can you say v-a-n-i-t-y? ;-}). However, people
will be generally friendly and out for a good time. This is a great party
transit, and people will be ready to party, so throw a decadent party and
invite everyone you know!!
---------------------
Moon's Second Quarter : Thursday 16 June - Thursday 23 June
---------------------
<< Sunday 19 June >>
We needn't expect any serious problems as Venus at 05Leo squares Jupiter
at 05Scorpio, yet we may experience personal let-downs of an emotional nature.
This aspect may bring out cruder mannerisms lacking in social grace, and
we may procrastinate and waste time on unproductive pursuits.
<< Tuesday 21 June >>
The Sun transitions from Gemini to Cancer today until 22July, initiating the
active portion of the Summer season. This marks the the Summer Solstice, when
the Sun reaches its Northernmost apparent angle of declination, and shines for
the longest daylight period of the year (in the Northern Hemisphere). The
following chart highlights this sun-sign transition.
Gemini Cancer
---------- ----------
Duality Masculine Feminine
Element Air Water
Quality Mutable Cardinal
Planet Mercury Moon
Keyword 'I Think' 'I Feel'
Polarity Sagittarius Capricorn
Body Parts Arms,Lungs Breast, stomach
Animals Bright birds Crab, shellfish
The Sun in Cancer indicates an active emotional and often moody energy which
is expressed through feelings, as compared to the mental and scattered energy
associated with the Sun in Gemini. Cancer is known for sensitivity, concern
over home and family, nurturing, dependence, and martyrdom.
<< Wednesday 22 June >>
Tonight Saturn at 12Pisces turns retrograde until 09November. This can
cause inner doubts regarding one's sense of worth, and we may have some
difficulty expressing ourselves in groups due to introversion. However,
during this period of inner reconsolidation we can create a new foundation
for future personal growth.
--------------------
Moon's Third Quarter : Thursday 23 June - Thursday 30 June
--------------------
<< Thursday 23 June >>
Our mental outlook is looking up today with optimistic viewpoints as Mercury
at 05Cancer trines Jupiter at 05Scorpio. This aspect may be accompanied by
job opportunities for interesting and rewarding work, or promotions. At this
time communications are as smooth as we can expect with Mercury still
retrograde, and are philosophically minded. We demonstrate a good balance
between attention to detail versus grasp of the comprehensive view. Emotional
disturbances may improve through relaxation or excercise. This aspect is
favorable for study, writing, teaching, interacting with the communications
media, or travel related to philosophy, religion, or higher education.
The moon is full today with the Moon at 02Capricorn opposite the Sun
at 02Cancer. Career or work concerns may lead to over-sensitivity or
insecurity. If we can restrain from responding and try to establish our
emotional stability we may deal with problems more effectively when the
Moon enters Aquarius on Saturday.
Our intuitive and imaginative faculties will be stimulated today as Mars at
22Taurus trines Neptune at 22Capricorn. At this time, we are more likely to
understand what has to be done and how to go about doing it. We can
experience harmony through the expression of deeper desires. This aspect is
excellent for energetic expression of creativity through performings arts,
dancing, or spiritual healing.
<< Saturday 25 June >>
There is apt to be alot of sensitive talking about feelings as Mercury
conjuncts the Sun at 04Cancer. Even with Mercury retrograde, the influences
are somewhat positive for starting new projects if they pertain to home and
family, mom, or plants. This aspect will put us in closer touch with our
thoughts concerning our emotional nature (Cancer).
<< Sunday 26 June >>
This should be an optimistic and happy day or two as the Sun at 05Cancer
trines Jupiter at 05Scorpio. With both in Water signs our emotions may
gain a much-appreciated measure of stability. With Jupiter currently
retrograde we may end up a bit over-extended, but we should still take
this aspect and run with it! This aspect is also favorable for home
renovations, yet with Jupiter retrograde we may be better off completing home
renovations which never quite got finished, instead of initiating new ones.
We may feel bright and alert today as Mercury at 25Taurus trines Uranus at
25Capricorn. We can generate ambitious new ideas relying upon conservative
ground-work, and some of our inventions or discoveries may be surprising or
even startling. Science and health discoveries are emphasized.
<< Monday 27 June >>
We may be restless and have a strong desire for heavy-handed reform as
Mars at 26Taurus opposes Pluto at 26Scorpio. We may adopt aggressive and
autocratic attitudes which lead to conflicts and power struggles over
professional affairs, insurance, sexual jealosy, taxes or alimony. There
is also an increased potential for acute injury, so drive carefully.
Some form of regeneration is called for in sexual, personal, or business
relationships. As a positive expression, this aspect may provide vast
resources of energy for constructive accomplishments when cooperating with
others, provided that the energy is controlled. Be especially careful not
to coerce others, and not to be coerced by them.
---------------------
Moon's Fourth Quarter : Thursday 30 June - Friday 8 July
---------------------
<< Saturday 2 July >>
Jupiter at 05Scorpio returns to direct motion today, ushering in a more
expansive and optimistic phase in the development of our philosophies and
attitudes. This aspect will take a week or so to get going, but will be
conducive to the initiation of new relationships, or mending of old ones.
Justice and fairness will prevail.
Mercury enters its own sign Gemini today for a stay until 10June. With
Mercury in Gemini our thinking is active and versatile yet scattered, and
we may be very humorous and witty. Our thoughts may be flighty, making
concentration on a single goal difficult, yet we may be able to make progress
on several tasks in parallel. Manual and verbal dexterity is enhanced.
Mercury in talkative, quick-thinking Gemini is great for learning new things
or adapting to new ways of thinking.
<< Sunday 3 July >>
Mars enters Gemini today for a stay until 16August. During this transit
the tempo of our lives may pick up considerably and our energy level will
increase. There may be possible conflicts with neighbors or relatives, yet
there is a great potential for cooperative energies to accomplish a great deal
during this time. People may identify too strongly with their beliefs, and
simple disagreement may be interpretted as a challenge to personal beliefs.
People may tend to be argumentative, so be careful not to get involved in
pointless arguments. This can be a good time to "sell" new ideas, so long as
you don't attack others with them, and it is an excellent time for vigorous
and diligent mental work.
<< Monday 4 July >>
Gains may be achieved through hard and disciplined work today as the Sun at
00Cancer trines Saturn at 00Pisces. This is a serious day for getting much
work accomplished and fulfilling obligations, especially emotional ones.
<< Wednesday 4 July >>
Mercury at 29Gemini turns to direct motion today which will gradually
allow communications to flow more smoothly, and will reduce the effects
of distractive interruptions.
<< Thursday 7 July >>
Relationships may be upset by fixed attitudes and stubborn behavior today
as Venus at 25Leo squares Pluto at 25Scorpio. Past secrets may surface.
Pride may have to be swallowed in order to maintain key relationships.
The next new Moon occurs in Cancer on July 8th. Until then, nurture
yourself and your family members with open communications, reconcile some
potentially conflicting demands of work, and limit your commitments to allow
plenty of time for unforeseen Mercury retrograde delays.

Astrology Watch Highlights
==========================
The new moon on 08July in Cancer energizes our home environment and
emphasizes emotional and family issues. Cancer also encourages the
fertility and germination of our ideas and goals. Cancer enjoys a
hearty meal fully, although rich foods may overstay their welcome and
be retained as a bit of extra weight around the belly.
Cancer is ruled by the Moon and accentuates sensitive feelings, mother,
home and family. Cancer tends to have a soft emotional under-belly, so
while nurturing of others is enhanced, we should also nurture ourselves
and our own emotional roots during this moon cycle. With career struggles
affecting us from Capricorn planets, self-nurturing is more valuable now.
As a cardinal sign, Cancer energies are in motion; and as a water sign the
energy is expressed through emotions (water) rather that through ideas (air),
actions (fire), or things (earth). Using Cancer influences, we can improve
home and family conditions, and open up our inner feelings. We should guard
against becoming too moody or withdrawing into a protective crab-like shell.
To maximize growth during this new moon cycle we should emphasize family
matters, nurture loved ones (including ourselves!), and start simply enjoying
ourselves more as the Sun enters Leo (try cooking up a suntan ;-}).
On 16July the first of a string of 21 comet fragments will slam into Jupiter
with 20 more to follow over the next six days. This collision of the comet
grouping known as Shoemaker-Levy 9 is described by David Levy as "the most
cataclysmic event observed in our solar system since the dawn of
civilization". While scientists will be watching closely to observe
physically detectable effects, astrologers will also be closely monitoring
the potential astrological effects of this event. Futurist Gordon Michael
Scallion predicts in the July 1994 Earth Changes Report that many Earth
changes will follow the collision, ranging from severe weather in some areas
to deep earthquakes in other areas, as well as increased solar flares and
fluctuations of the Earth's magnetic field. Coinciding with the astrological
interpretation of Jupiter as the planet of expansion, Scallion states that
"In general, the collision of the comet will expand everything that is
positive and everything that is negative, exponentially". World conflicts
are predicted to become more intense, yet an increase in consciousness
may also prompt many to "question their belief systems, develop their
intuition, and awaken their spiritual self". Jupiter is currently in
the sign Scorpio, which can provide an opportunity to tenaciously focus
our expansive tendencies toward deeply heart-felt goals. We may be able
to effect major personal changes in ourselves during this period with
destiny and fate seeming to work overtime, yet if we attempt to enforce
changes on others we may invite resentment, subterfuge and deception.
--------------------
Moon's First Quarter : Friday 8 July - Friday 15 July
--------------------
<< Sunday 10 July >>
We may find our communications miss the mark a bit (like a brief Mercury
retrograde period) as Mercury transits from Gemini to Cancer, where it will
stay until 03August. With Mercury in Cancer our thoughts will be strongly
affected by emotions. We are apt to have clouded communications which are
highly subjective, yet we can be very empathetic and nurturing.
<< Monday 11 July >>
Venus enters Virgo today for a stay until 07August. During this transit we
can become very discriminating, especially in the analysis of love feelings
and of partner's shortfalls. Try not to over-analyze romance or to constrain
relationships to follow prescribed guidelines. Avoid becoming nit-picky.
Later today, Mercury at 00Cancer sextiles Venus at 00Virgo. This mild
aspect between inner planets has a relatively brief effect of making us feel
pretty good. It can allow us to communicate effectively about likes and
dislikes, especially regarding fashion and decorating ideas or emotionally
intense experiences.
<< Thursday 14 July >>
Confusion and uncertainty accompanied by a fear of self-assertion may
overwhelm us as the Sun at 22Cancer opposes Neptune at 22Capricorn. Avoid
playing the victim or martyr today, but instead reflect on your self. This
aspect can yield powerful insights and artistic initiative, but be sure to
check back with reality to verify that the insights are feasible to pursue.
We may heartily enjoy a lazy daydream today ;-}
---------------------
Moon's Second Quarter : Friday 15 July - Friday 22 July
---------------------
<< Friday 15 July >>
We can enjoy benevolent and peaceful feelings today as Venus at 05Capricorn
sextiles Jupiter at 05Scorpio. This aspect can impart creative talent and
generous expression of affection, although with Venus in Capricorn our
expressions may be subdued. This may also be a good day to initiate
financial enterprises or real-estate transactions.
<< Saturday 16 July >>
Be careful today and keep a watch out for accidents as the Sun at 24Cancer
opposes Uranus at 24Capricorn. This aspect can bring restlessness and
surprising events. Business activities (Capricorn) may undergo radical
revisions. A conflict between home life (Cancer) and career ambitions
(Capricorn) could shock us into action.
The first of the comet fragments hits Jupiter today.
<< Monday 18 July >>
We will find extra stamina and will-power today in our efforts to reform
ourselves or others as the Sun at 25Cancer trines Pluto at 25Scorpio.
Much positive restructuring energy is activated by this aspect, which may
also be expressed as intense or profound sexuality. This aspect can lead
to reforms of our use of power, but it may require some closely held yet
unnecessary aspects of ourselves to fall away.
Our mental outlook is looking up today with optimistic viewpoints as Mercury
at 05Cancer trines Jupiter at 05Scorpio. This aspect may be accompanied by
job opportunities for interesting and rewarding work, or promotions. At this
time communications are smooth and philosophically minded. We demonstrate a
good balance between attention to detail versus grasp of the comprehensive
view. Emotional disturbances may improve through relaxation or excercise.
This aspect is favorable for study, writing, teaching, interacting with the
communications media, or travel related to philosophy, religion, or education.
<< Wednesday 20 July >>
Our physical energies may be thwarted and pent up as Mars at 11Gemini
squares Saturn at 11Pisces. Our energies may be impeded or fizzle out,
and any forced issues are likely to result in equal force opposition. We
may feel that we are racing at 80mph with our brakes on full ;-}. We should
avoid any activity which subjects us to a high possibility for broken bones.
Try to remain low-key to avoid the negative expressions of this aspect.
<< Tuesday 21 July >>
Our relationships may be fraught with struggles today as Venus at 11Virgo
opposes Saturn at 11Pisces. Our sense of humanitarian duty may be in
conflict with our desire to relate to others in a playful way, so try to
keep your responsibilities in perspective without letting them squelch
your fun-loving antics. Through relationships we may be forced to face
aspects of ourselves that we would rather not acknowledge, and we should
avoid becoming engulfed in self-pity.
--------------------
Moon's Third Quarter : Friday 22 July - Saturday 30 July
--------------------
<< Friday 22 July >>
The Moon is full today with the Moon at 29Capricorn opposing the Sun at
29Cancer. This is likely to bring all recent emotional issues and home/work
conflicts to a head with strong potential for final resolution prior to the
Sun's entrance into Leo later tonight.
The Sun transitions from Cancer to Leo tonight, where it will stay until
23August. This is the Sun's natural sign (Sun rules Leo) and is thus
the highlight of the year for the expression of ego and personality (Sun).
This can lead to a regal/royal and potentially arrogant attitude, yet it does
not hold quite so much egotism as it sounds since Leo also imparts great
generosity, playfulness, and affection towards children. The following
chart highlights this sun-sign transition.
Cancer Leo
---------- ----------
Duality Feminine Masculine
Element Water Fire
Quality Cardinal Fixed
Planet Moon Sun
Keyword 'I Feel' 'I Will'

Body Parts Breast,stomach Back,heart

<< Saturday 23 July >>
We may be prone to either sensitive (Venus) or sharp (Mars) overreactions
today as Venus at 13Virgo squares Mars at 13Gemini. We may oscillate
irregularly between mental aggression and conciliatory self-pity, and may
be prone to get involved in fights or, more aptly, spats. Mellow out ...
Practical and responsible thought patterns are enhanced today as Mercury at
11Cancer trines Saturn at 11Pisces. Our powers of concentration and self-
control are increased, but overtaxing our brains could lead to depression.
<< Tuesday 28 July >>
Today Mercury at 18Scorpio sextiles Venus at 18Capricorn. This mild
aspect between inner planets has a relatively brief effect of making us feel
pretty good. It can allow us to communicate effectively about likes and
dislikes, especially regarding fashion and decorating ideas or emotionally
intense experiences.
Mild personal problems arising from hypocrisy, extravagance, and inflated
self-importance are indicated today as the Sun at 05Leo squares Jupiter
at 05Scorpio. While the effects of this square are not severe, it can lead
to overexpansion, foolish optimism, and waste. We may feel a bit on the
slow side today, and just taking it easy may be the theme for today. We have
a tendency to adhere to dogmatic views which may cause problems in romantic,
social, or business situations. Gambling is unwise at this time, and charity
may be tinged with a desire for personal recognition and praise. The
'antidote' for most of these negative expressions is to maintain a more
objective and philosophical perspective.
<< Friday 29 July >>
We may encounter disillusionment and hazy thinking as Mercury at 21Cancer
opposes Neptune at 21Capricorn. This can be great for creative endeavors
and imaginative work, but try not to daydream too much or your insights may
never see the light of our concensus reality :-}.
---------------------
Moon's Fourth Quarter : Saturday 30 July - Sunday 7 August
---------------------
<< Saturday 30 July >>
Creative expression inspired by dreams is favored today as Venus at
21Virgo trines Neptune at 21Capricorn. Warm compassion and highly
idealistic love can combine to create a misty romantic atmosphere.
We may become mentally stimulated handling conflicting interests of home
and work as Mercury at 24Cancer opposes Uranus at 24Capricorn. This can
be an erratic mental period, but do not oppose suggested changes outright.
Consider and adopt new ideas in the home or at work. We may wonder if we
are going a bit crazy today, but don't worry ... everybody is :-)
<< Sunday 18 July >>
We may be struck by some highly penetrating and profound ideas as Mercury at
25Cancer trines Pluto at 25Scorpio. This is an excellent day for inventions
and discoveries. It also favors long range planning and insightful thoughts
of future reforms or changes.
<< Monday 1 August >>
Exciting new love interests may arise today as Venus at 24Virgo trines
Uranus at 24Capricorn. Science or art may figure in the excitement.
<< Tuesday 2 August >>
Our love life or affective nature may undergo a somewhat radical yet
contructive reform as Venus at 25Virgo sextiles Pluto at 25Scorpio.
With Venus in Virgo this change may involve our health or work surroundings,
and with Pluto in Scorpio the reforms may be intense and sensual. As with
all sextile aspects we must take some initiative to make it happen.
<< Wednesday 3 August >>
We may have a few communications lapses as Mercury enters Leo for a stay
until 17August. During this Mercury transit we can develop a more creative
mental outlook and more dramatic expression of our ideas. Guard against a
tendency to be over-opinionated or arrogant.
<< Friday 5 August >>
The first of the retrograde outer planets gradually shifts its emphasis from
the internalized energies to an externalized expression today as Pluto turns
from retrograde to direct motion at 25Scorpio. Far-reaching Pluto reforms
which have been in the works for some time may take shape soon, and may shake
us up if we are not prepared to leave unnecessary attachments behind.
<< Saturday 6 August >>
We can bolster optimistic attitudes towards long-range goals today as Mercury
at 06Leo squares Jupiter at 06Scorpio. This aspect can be favorable, and
at this time we may grasp the whole picture and think in big, ideal, abstract
terms. We may be sloppy with details, however, and may be inclined to
overlook important details which conflict with larger plans.
<< Sunday 7 August >>
Venus enters Libra today for a stay until 07September. Relationships,
fairness, sensitivity, and appreciation of beauty gain importance within our
personal sense of values. Since Venus rules Libra, a natural affinity is
expressed during this transit, and air sign influences promote many new ideas.
The next new Moon occurs in Leo on August 7th. Until then, nurture yourself
and your family members, reconcile some potentially conflicting demands of
work, and prepare yourself for some hot and fun times coming when the Sun
enters it's own sign Leo.

Astrology Watch Highlights
==========================
The new moon on 07August in Leo (fixed, fire) provides an opportunity
to really have some summer fun. This sign relates to the 5th house (Leo)
activities of partying, appreciation of pleasures, affection towards
children, and also imparts a generous attitude. Leo is ruled by the Sun
so there is involvement of the personality/ego with potential for excessive
vanity. Sun-worshippers are in their element and male energies are
emphasized. Leo is fun-loving and playful, but be careful not to tease
the lion or it may turn stubbornly against you.
As a fixed sign, Leo energies are stable; and as a fire sign the energy is
expressed through actions (fire) rather than through ideas (air), emotions
(water), or things (earth). As a Fixed sign, Leo energies are stable yet may
be stubborn. Using Leo influences, we can enjoy vacations and recreational
activities, play with our children, and express ourselves with ease and pride.
You should guard against too much drama, self-importance, exaggeration or
boasting. To maximize growth during this moon cycle enjoy love affairs,
play, have fun, and shine, shine, shine ;-}.
--------------------
Moon's First Quarter : Sunday 7 August - Sunday 14 August
--------------------
<< Sunday 7 August >>
Venus enters Libra today for a stay until 02September. Relationships,
fairness, sensitivity, and appreciation of beauty gain importance within our
personal sense of values. Since Venus rules Libra, a natural affinity is
expressed during this transit, and air sign influences promote many new ideas.
<< Friday 12 August >>
There is apt to be a lot of dynamic talking about how great we are as the
Sun conjuncts Mercury at 20Leo. The influences are excellent for leisure,
drama, luxury, or passion. Our dynamism and leadership qualities may shine
through.
---------------------
Moon's Second Quarter : Sunday 14 August - Sunday 21 August
---------------------
<< Monday 15 August >>
Our manner of communicating to ourselves and others may undergo challenges
later today as Mercury at 25Leo squares Pluto at 25Scorpio. These challenges
may be severe enough to divert us to a new way of thinking about ourselves
and of communicating to others. Powerful and forceful communications may
be expressed, and with both planets in fixed signs neither side is likely
to budge. Our best bet is to accept any criticism from others with a calm
and listening ear, and then use the feedback to modify our attitudes and
behaviors. While this sounds good, it may not be so easy to accomplish today.
<< Tuesday 16 August >>
Our energies are likely to be directed more towards our home and family
as Mars enters Cancer for a stay until 04October. Mars is not so energetic
in Cancer, and we should try to avoid actions which stem from emotional
over-sensitivity. Comfort may become a primary goal now, so allow time
to relax, but try to avoid becoming a couch potato ;-}
<< Wednesday 17 August >>
Mercury enters Virgo today for a stay until 04September. With Mercury
in Virgo our thoughts turn to details and practical concerns. Our mental
resources are well developed since Mercury rules Virgo. Projects can be well
planned with thorough attention to all phases, yet a rather conservative
approach will probably be adopted.
<< Thursday 18 August >>
Power clashes with those in authority may arise today as the Sun at 25Leo
squares Pluto at 25Scorpio. With the Sun in Leo it is likely that a matter
of pride or principle could initiate a power clash. Watch your temper and
hold your sharp tongue today.
Action-oriented communications and travel are favored today as Mercury at
01Virgo sextiles Mars at 01Cancer. It may be a good day to head to the beach.
--------------------
Moon's Third Quarter : Sunday 21 August - Monday 29 August
--------------------
<< Sunday 21 August >>
The Moon is full today at 28Aquarius opposed to the Sun at 28Leo. This full
Moon in fixed signs may make us very sure of ourselves, quite independently
of how right we actually are. If we avoid entrenching ourselves in stubborn
attitudes, and allow for the possibility that we may not know everything worth
knowing, then we should be able to have a fun time with a party atmosphere.
<< Monday 22 August >>
We can effectively initiate communications for expansive new projects as
Mercury at 08Virgo sextiles Jupiter at 08Scorpio. Favored are Scorpio
projects involving investigation or emotional perseverence, or Virgo
Some difficult communications and a depressing mental outlook could be in
store for us as Mercury at 09Virgo opposes Saturn at 09Pisces. Plans which
are set up now may not be stable or well-grounded. Bolster your hopes today!
<< Tuesday 23 August >>
The Sun transitions from Leo to Virgo today for a stay until 23September.
This will signify the entrance into the adaptable (mutable) portion of the
summer season, and the Virgo emphasis will redirect our efforts towards
service, work, and health issues. With the Sun in Virgo people are likely
to be meticulous (especially about cleanliness), practical, and analytical
with a tendency towards nit-picking criticality, yet this is an excellent
time to pursue tasks which require extreme attention to detail. The
following chart highlights this sun-sign transition.

---------- ----------
Duality Masculine Feminine
Element Fire Earth
Quality Fixed Mutable
Planet Sun Mercury
Keyword 'I Will' 'I Analyze'
Polarity Aquarius Pisces
Body Parts Back,heart Nerves,intestines

<< Sunday 28 August >>
Avoid indulgences and self-pity today as Venus at 20Libra squares Neptune at
20Capricorn. Beware of being swept into depression and emotional confusion.
Watch the road carefully and don't daydream while driving.
We may finally make significant progress in business and professional
affairs today as Jupiter at 09Scorpio trines Saturn at 09Pisces. This is
a good time to seek employment or initiate important business activities,
and to consolidate one's professional or financial position. This aspect
is also favorable for handling legal affairs or government regulations.
We are able to apply philosophic and ethical standards in a practical way
and with integrity. We can adopt a serious-minded responsible attitude
toward long-range goals, and will display a more responsible attitude toward
family affairs. This aspect provides an excellent balance between optimism
and caution which can securely move us ahead on our chosen paths.
---------------------
Moon's Fourth Quarter : Monday 29 August - Monday 5 September
---------------------
<< Monday 29 August >>
We may feel bright and alert today as Mercury at 20Virgo trines Uranus at
20Capricorn. We can generate ambitious new ideas relying upon conservative
ground-work, and some of our inventions or discoveries may be surprising or
even startling. Science and health discoveries are emphasized.
<< Tuesday 30 August >>
We may feel bright and alert today as Mercury at 22Virgo trines Uranus at
22Capricorn. We can generate ambitious new ideas relying upon conservative
ground-work, and some of our inventions or discoveries may be surprising or
even startling. Science and health discoveries are emphasized.
We are more likely to act in a responsible and self-controlled manner as
Mars at 09Cancer trines Saturn at 09Pisces. This is an excellent time for
solid mental efforts towards short or long term goals. Our energies can be
effectively focussed and disciplined along with enhanced stamina to complete
difficult or boring tasks.
Interpersonal challenges may result today as Venus at 22Libra squares Uranus
at 22Capricorn. Try to avoid needlessly disrupting or startling friends or
partners over career or business restrictions. Unexpected events could occur
in relationships.
<< Wednesday 31 August >>
We may experience steadfast progress on projects at work or at home today
as Mars at 09Cancer trines Jupiter at 09Scorpio. Our desires and ego
concerns may be pleasantly satisfied.
<< Thursday 1 September >>
Creative ideas could lead to reforms of long-term plans as Mercury at 25Virgo
sextiles Pluto at 25Scorpio. Travel itineraries are subject to revision.
A more somber atmosphere may predominate tonight as the Sun at 09Virgo is
lined up in opposition to Saturn at 09Pisces. Sun oppose Saturn can make
us conscious of limitations imposed by circumstance and responsibility.
It may be accompanied by a low energy level and an inability to communicate.
Plans which are set up now may not be well-grounded. We must balance our
needs against our obligations, and avoid wallowing in loneliness or despair.
<< Friday 2 September >>
Our ego drives will get energized as the Sun at 09Virgo sextiles Jupiter
at 09Scorpio. With a bit of internal bolstering we can become brimming with
boisterous self-confidence and optimism. This aspect can also bring good
luck, and things planned today should work out well. It is also a good
day for group participation activities or philosophical pursuits.
<< Sunday 4 September >>
Mercury enters Libra today for a stay until 27September. Mercury in Libra
imparts an ability to reason about issues and to see both sides clearly.
For just this reason we are apt to be indecisive or non-committal. Our
thoughts turn towards keeping the peace, and attempting to balance biased
ideas with compassionate thoughts.
<< Monday 5 September >>
Get off of your butt and stretch your muscles today as the Sun at 12Virgo
sextiles Mars at 12Cancer. This sextile is favorable for almost any action-
oriented or athletic activity. We may enjoy short trips and communications.
We are likely to be in a self-assertive mood, and physical activity and
healthy food can strengthen our constitution.
The next new Moon occurs in Virgo on September 5th. Until then, ...
let loose and enjoy the hot Leo Sun ... you can easily take care of
any lingering details later when Virgo influences take over.

| Lisa and Todd,
I have always enjoyed your Astrology Watch Calendar and I've been
waiting for September's with baited breath, as it is my birthday
month (Libra). Are you still providing this wonderful service?
Hopefully you are still with us at Digital.
Thanks,
Lisa

| Yup, I'm still here. Sorry this month's Watch is a bit late.
Actually, I prepared it a few days ago, but I was unable to
access Dejavu at the time. Then I spaced it out ... which
shouldn't have happened with the attention to detail which
Virgo provides ;-}
Oh well, thanks for your reminder and your comments, and ...
here it comes!

Astrology Watch Highlights
==========================
The new moon on 05September in Virgo (mutable,earth) provides an opportunity
to clean up any messes which have been piling up. Virgo relates to the 6th
house activities of work, service, health/hygiene, and attention to detail.
Virgo is ruled by Mercury, which influences our thinking patterns. Virgo is
an earth sign, however, so the thoughts are applied in a logical and organized
manner. As a mutable sign Virgo influences are adaptable, but can become
very critical and nit-picky, and tend to classify things as black or white.
--------------------
Moon's First Quarter : Monday 5 September - Monday 12 September
--------------------
<< Monday 5 September >>
Athletic or health oriented activities are favored today as the Sun at
12Virgo sextiles Mars at 12Cancer. We may enjoy working around the home,
and this may be a good day to begin a fall cleaning effort. We are likely
to be in a self-assertive mood, and physical activity and healthy food can
strengthen our constitution.
<< Wednesday 7 September >>
We may face a brief period of confusion about love interests and friendships
as Venus transitions from Libra to Scorpio for a stay until 08January95. We
will be changing from a congenial and communicative concern with relationships
(Libra) to a deep and intense emotional concern with sex, death and rebirth
(Scorpio). Venus in Scorpio provides an opportunity to stabilize relationships
through deep emotional contact. Venus in Scorpio can be relentless and
unyielding, so this can be a very difficult time to break off a relationship.
Psychic sensitivities are heightened, and can be effectively utilized for
self-improvement. Strong feelings of destiny and fate may be associated with
relationships at this time. Infatuation with sex and death can be transcended
through considerations of the regenerative aspects of the death/rebirth cycle.
The old must die to make way for the new.
---------------------
Moon's Second Quarter : Monday 12 September - Monday 19 September
---------------------
<< Tuesday 13 September >>
Psychic energy is heightened as the Sun at 20Virgo trines Neptune at
20Capricorn. There is increased potential for creating tangible results from
imagination. Daydreaming is likely, and insights may be of practical value.
<< Thursday 15 September >>
Forceful changes may be enacted purposefully or may come by surprise today
as the Sun at 22Virgo trines Uranus at 22Capricorn. You may feel restricted
at work and want to break free. Health break-throughs are also possible.
<< Saturday 17 September >>
We can gain inner strength with personal relationships today as Venus at
08Scorpio trines Saturn at 08Pisces. Friendships and love relationships can
gain mental stability on a more secure and honest communicative foundation.
We may feel more willing and able to make significant interpersonal
commitments today. The influences of Scorpio and Pisces can impart a
strong emotional content to serious discussions.
<< Sunday 18 September >>
Dramatic diffusion of our emotional energy may beset us today as Mars at
20Cancer opposes Neptune at 20Capricorn. This could manifest as depression,
anger, apathy, or drug abuse. Psychic channels will be overloaded, so our
discrimination of particular psychic insights may become clouded.
It may be wise to keep any nasty feelings to ourselves today.
Our practical thinking may also become confused and deluded today as Mercury
at 20Libra squares Neptune at 20Capricorn. However, this influence can also
be especially fruitful for highly creative and intuitive thinking.
We get a potential energizer today as the Sun at 25Virgo sextiles Pluto at
25Scorpio. While this can impart relentless energy, it may be as a result of
circumstances which force us to exert our maximal efforts. Tasks which call
for nominal energy expenditures with little return may be disposed of in
deference to major efforts requiring destruction and regeneration.
Touchy challenges in communications and small disagreements in relationships
may erupt into arguments as Mercury at 20Libra squares Mars at 20Cancer.
Sensitive and home-focused Mars in Cancer may encounter conflicts when
confronted with the dynamic give-and-take of Mercury in Libra.
--------------------
Moon's Third Quarter : Monday 19 September - Tuesday 27 September
--------------------
<< Monday 19 September >>
The Moon at 26 Pisces is full today as it opposes the Sun at 26Virgo.
Overcritical comments may result in bruised feelings. With the full
moon in mutable signs, we should be able to smooth things over, yet
with a bit of extra sensitivity to other's feelings today, we could
avoid the conflicts altogether.
<< Tuesday 20 September >>
We should prepare for and beware of sudden upsets and disruptive
communications as Mercury at 22Libra squares Uranus at 22Capricorn.
Be extra careful today since we tend to be more accident prone.
Learn to go with the flow of disruptions, and avoid arguing in the
face of change. Allow for delays resulting from unexpected events.
There may be thunder and lightning expressed in communications relating
to business or partnerships. Through all of this we may be able to remain
talkative and sociable, however, and we are likely to entertain Libran
thoughts of union, peace, joining forces, beauty and aesthetics.
Disagreements or misunderstandings, of which there may be several today,
can probably be resolved in a peaceful manner.
<< Wednesday 21 September >>
Our struggle between the goals of home life (Cancer) and career ambitions
(Capricorn) is accentuated today by two of the most aggressive and excitable
planetary influences as Mars at 22Cancer opposes Uranus at 22Capricorn.
Arguments may erupt on this day at home or at work, with males likely to be
the most upset. Love relationships may prove to be unreliable or unfaithful.
There is a lot of energy inherent in this cardinal sign aspect, but it will
take great patience and understanding to go with the flow of changes which
it suggests.
<< Friday 23 September >>
Today the Sun will transition from Virgo to Libra until 23October. This
signifies the entrance into the active (cardinal) initiating portion of the
fall season. This day is also called the Autumnal Equinox, and is a day
when daytime hours equal nighttime hours (12) all over the world. The Libra
emphasis will redirect our energies towards relationships. Libra is the
natural 7th house of complementary partners, and is ruled by Venus. Libra
is associated with balance in all forms. This is not a static balancing act,
however, but a dynamic oscillation which strives for a balanced equilibrium.
Libra can be very indecisive since both sides of an issue are fairly weighed.
Libra energy is very communicative, but may relinquish too much of one's self
in order to please someone else. This is an excellent time to work on your
relationships. The following chart highlights this sun-sign transition.

Duality Feminine Masculine
Element Earth Air
Quality Mutable Cardinal
Planet Mercury Venus
Keyword 'I Analyze' 'I Balance'

Body Parts Nerves,guts lower back, buttucks

---------------------
Moon's Fourth Quarter : Tuesday 27 September - Tuesday 4 October
---------------------
<< Tuesday 27 September >>
Mercury enters fixed water sign Scorpio for a stay until 19October when
it will re-enter Libra in retrograde motion. With Mercury in Scorpio our
communications can become imbued with deep emotion. Our mental position may
be unwavering and stubborn, and may be presented forcefully and relentlessly.
During this time we may become fascinated with thoughts of life after death
or other occult topics, and profound insights may be revealed. This transit
is generally favorable for joint financial resources.
We can mobilize powerful energy for rebuilding today as Mars at 26Cancer
trines Pluto at 26Scorpio. With both planets in water signs and Pluto in
Scorpio, intense emotional experiences or a profound sexual union may ensue.
<< Thursday 29 September >>
One of the most favorable astrological aspects occurs today as Venus
conjuncts Jupiter at 15Scorpio. This aspect can confer optimism, benevolence,
wit, and interpersonal grace. Our outlook on relationships may take a swing
for the better, and we should enjoy an expansive emotional burst. In Scorpio,
this aspect suggests the possibility of fated unions of the most sensual kind.
<< Saturday 1 October >>
We end a period of internal assimilation of the forces of change as Uranus
turns to direct motion at 22Capricorn. Changes which may have been in the
works for some time may begin to demonstrate tangible external effects now.
<< Sunday 2 October >>
Neptune at 20Capricorn officially turns direct today, though it will take
several days before the effects become evident. When Neptune turns direct
things which have been hidden for some time may now become openly known.
Also, the psychic character of Neptune initiates a new wave of individual
and group psychic development.
<< Tuesday 4 October >>
Today Mars enters Leo (fixed fire) for a stay until 12December. During this
transit we will gain lots of energy and will become much more impulsive and
enthusiastic compared to the conservatism and emotional strain we are
experiencing now with Mars in Cancer. If we can discipline and harness our
passion and energy, and avoid the pitfalls of arrogance, then we can make
dramatic leaps of progress, and we can even have a great time doing it!
This is an excellent time to throw parties or to pursue any kind of playful
or sporting activity that you enjoy.
The next new moon is in Libra on 04 October. Until then ... use your
enhanced efficiency to clean up lingering issues, and if you spend a bit
of extra effort on your relationships it should pay back handsomely.
Lisa and Todd

Astrology Watch Highlights
==========================
The new moon on 04October at 11Libra (cardinal air) provides an opportunity
to mend relationships which may have become imbalanced. Libra relates to the
7th house concerns of relationships, partners, compromise and balance. Libra
is ruled by Venus, which relates to our expressions of love and our sense of
values. Libra is an air sign, however, so love is expressed through ideas and
communications, as opposed to more earthy and hedonistic love expressions
associated with the fixed earth sign Taurus (which is also ruled by Venus).
As a cardinal sign Libra energies actively engage in a balancing act which
results in a dynamic equilibrium as opposed to a static steady-state. Libra
energy can quickly identify fair compromises, yet Libra imparts an urge to
please and so may give away too much of 'self' in order to keep the peace.
To maximize the benefits of this moon cycle, address the sources of disharmony
in your relationships with compassion, yet be sure to save some for yourself.
--------------------
Moon's First Quarter : Tuesday 4 October - Tuesday 11 October
--------------------
<< Tuesday 4 October >>
Today Mars enters Leo (fixed fire) for a stay until 12December. During this
transit we will gain lots of energy and will become much more impulsive and
enthusiastic compared to the conservatism and emotional strain we are
experiencing now with Mars in Cancer. If we can discipline and harness our
passion and energy, and avoid the pitfalls of arrogance, then we can make
dramatic leaps of progress, and we can even have a great time doing it!
This is an excellent time to throw parties or to pursue any kind of playful
or sporting activity that you enjoy.
<< Sunday 9 October >>
Today we enter an internalized mental period as Mercury at 06Scorpio turns
retrograde until 30October. When Mercury turns retrograde our communication
faculties slow down, we become more reflective, and communications in general
falter. This does not have to be such a negative period so long as you don't
become upset when things don't go as you have planned, and you don't try to
rush things to completion. Try to allow extra time, and be content to let
things happen at their own pace. You definitely don't want a tight schedule
when Mercury is retrograde, so try to get as many lingering responsibilities
as possible resolved before today.
Practical and responsible thought patterns are enhanced today as Mercury at
06Scorpio trines Saturn at 06Pisces. Our powers of concentration and self-
control are increased, but overtaxing our brains could lead to depression.
---------------------
Moon's Second Quarter : Tuesday 11 October - Wednesday 19 October
---------------------
<< Thursday 13 October >>
Venus at 18Scorpio turns retrograde today until 23November. This is not the
best time to get married or to redecorate since we are likely to be unclear
about our values, tastes and affections. Avoid drastic cosmetic or decorative
changes such as punk hairdos, new fashions, or new furniture during this time.
Take this time to reflect on those things that you truly value, and to winnow
out things which you may have valued in the past but no longer value.
Touchy challenges in communications and emotional disagreements in
relationships may lead to an impasse as Mercury at 05Scorpio squares Mars
at 05Leo. Troublesome delays may disrupt our party plans. Drive defensively.
We may be in for other challenges today resulting from delusion, dreaminess,
creativity, or dissipation of energies as the Sun at 20Libra squares Neptune
at 20Capricorn. This may inspire some to creative expression, and may instill
psychic content into relationships, yet it may also create delusional thinking
with respect to any practical or factual reality orientation. Drugs or other
escapist tendencies may be indulged.
<< Friday 14 October >>
One of the most favorable, although rather mild, astrological aspects also
occurs today as Venus conjuncts Jupiter at 17Scorpio. This aspect can confer
optimism, benevolence, wit, and interpersonal grace. Our outlook on
relationships may take a swing for the better, and we should enjoy an
expansive emotional burst.
<< Thursday 13 October >>
We should prepare for and beware of sudden upsets and disruptive situations
as the Sun at 22Libra squares Uranus at 22Capricorn. We desire to break
down our everyday routines today, yet we may end up taking foolhardy risks
to do so. Be extra careful today since we tend to be more accident prone.
Learn to go with the flow of disruptions, and avoid arguing or you could
make things worse.
--------------------
Moon's Third Quarter : Wednesday 19 October - Thursday 27 October
--------------------
<< Wednesday 19 October >>
The Moon is full today with the Moon at 26Aries opposing the Sun at 26Libra.
Our emotional responses may be lightning quick, yet their effects may also
pass just as quickly. We may be forced to perform a balancing act to smooth
out these rapid-fire emotional outbursts, and the Sun in Libra should allow
us to effectively resolve these emotional disturbances.
Mercury enters Libra by retrograde motion today for a stay until 10November.
Mercury in Libra imparts an ability to reason about issues and to see both
sides clearly. For just this reason we are apt to be indecisive or
non-committal. Our thoughts turn towards keeping the peace, and attempting
to balance biased ideas with compassionate thoughts.
<< Friday 21 October >>
Today should be a talkative and social day as the Sun conjuncts Mercury at
27Libra. We are likely to entertain Libran thoughts of union, peace, joining
forces, beauty and aesthetics. Any disagreements or misunderstandings, of
which there may be several due to Mercury being retrograde, are likely to be
resolved in a peaceful manner.
<< Sunday 23 October >>
The Sun transitions from Libra to Scorpio today for a stay until 22November.
This signifies our entrance into the stable (fixed) portion of the fall
season. Scorpio emphasis will redirect our efforts towards 8th house
concerns of sex, death with reformative rebirth, and joint finances.
An apt descriptive phrase for the fixed water sign Scorpio is "Still waters
run deep". The following chart highlights this sun-sign transition.

---------- ----------
Duality Masculine Feminine

Be extra careful today since we tend to be more accident prone.
Learn to go with the flow of disruptions, and avoid arguing in the
face of change. Allow for delays resulting from unexpected events.
There may be thunder and lightning expressed in communications relating
to business or partnerships. Through all of this we may be able to remain

thoughts of union, peace, joining forces, beauty and aesthetics.
Disagreements or misunderstandings, of which there may be several today,
can probably be resolved in a peaceful manner.
---------------------
Moon's Fourth Quarter : Thursday 27 October - Thursday 3 November
---------------------
<< Friday 28 October >>
Our spiritual side may receive a boost over the course of several days
as Jupiter at 20Scorpio trines Neptune at 20Capricorn. Meditation is favored,
and religious or mystical teachings may yield penetrating insights. Spiritual
truths and secrets of life will fascinate us, and we may receive spiritual
guidance from a person or group. While this guidance would tend to be
mutually beneficial, avoid over-idealizing this person or group. Creative
musical or artistic ideas and talents may arise, and should be pursued.
Boating and other water sports may be enjoyable. We are likely to be
charitable and compassionate for those who are suffering. On the other hand,
we may become dreamy, lazy, or partake in drugs or gambling. While this can
be a quite beneficial long-term aspect, we should avoid being fooled into
thinking everything is fine when something may not be quite as it seems.
<< Saturday 29 October >>
We may be prone to either sensitive (Venus) or sharp (Mars) overreactions
today as Venus at 13Scorpio squares Mars at 13Leo. We may oscillate
irregularly between mental aggression and conciliatory self-pity, and may
be prone to get involved in fights or, more aptly, spats. This fixed sign
square may be difficult to smooth out if you get involved in it too deeply.
Mellow out ...
Our work on our emotional stability may receive a boost as the Sun at
05Scorpio trines Saturn at 05Pisces. This can be a serious day for getting
much work accomplished and fulfilling the obligations of our emotional
commitments. Try to follow practical actions based upon careful planning.
<< Sunday 30 October >>
Mercury is standing direct today at 20Libra. While this is nearly
the time to celebrate the end of any Mercury retrograde difficulties, it
actually takes a couple of days for Mercury to reestablish forward motion.
In any case, the new starting point (station) for Mercury is in Libra, which
indicates that relationships will be emphasized in our thoughts, and ideas
will tend to encourage us to do anything for peace. Mercury is very
communicative in Mercury, but while people may be somewhat forthright and
direct with their communications, they may have difficulties in making
decisions or being definite about their commitments.
Our practical thinking may become confused and deluded today as Mercury at
20Libra squares Neptune at 20Capricorn. However, this influence can also
be especially fruitful for highly creative and intuitive thinking. The
simultaneous influence of Uranus could provide a spark for sublime insight.
<< Wednesday 2 November >>
We are likely to feel rather pleasant today, yet in a deep and profound way,
as the Sun conjuncts Venus at 10Scorpio. We are likely to express more
emotional self-involvement with romance and friendships.
The next new moon is in Scorpio on 03 November and coincides with a total
solar eclipse. Until then ... communicate proactively in your relationships,
spread your compassion around widely, but be sure to save a healthy dose for
yourself.

Todd,
My b'day is on Nov.3rd - same day as the solar eclipse and new moon.
I've heard there is significance to this...Mme. Marcia (Butchart)
said it would be a time of rebirth. Any add'l insights you can
provide would be appreciated.
Thanks so much to you and Lisa for Astrology Watch.

Astrology Watch Highlights
==========================
The new moon on 03November in the fixed water sign Scorpio provides an
opportunity to rebuild and stabilize our emotions. Scorpio is ruled by Pluto
(reform, rebirth, transformation) and relates to 8th house concerns of sex,
death with rebirth, and benefit from other people's money. As a fixed sign,
Scorpio energies are stable yet often stubborn and relentless, and thus as a
water sign it is associated with the most persistent and tenacious emotions.
As with other water signs Scorpio energies can be sensitive to insult, however
the negative form of reaction does not manifest as depression (Cancer) or
insecurity (Pisces) but rather may be harbored and expressed as fuming or
resentment. Scorpio is associated with the genitals and imparts strong
sensual/sexual overtones. Psychic faculties are sensitized.
Since Scorpio's ruler Pluto is currently transiting through Scorpio, all
Scorpio/Pluto effects will be heightened during this moon cycle. The way to
maximize your growth during this new moon cycle is to avoid clinging to your
emotional baggage, and allow Pluto energies to destroy all unnecessary
emotional attachments of the past. Problems will arise if you fight against
Pluto's natural process of winnowing out obsolete emotional attachments.
--------------------
Moon's First Quarter : Thursday 3 November - Thursday 10 November
--------------------
<< Thursday 3 November >>
The new moon today at 11Scorpio coincides with a total solar eclipse.
This indicates that projects initiated at this time may have a pronounced
effect which can last for a period of up to six months. Longer term
emotional issues may arise, with a strong potential for eventual integration.
We should prepare for and beware of sudden upsets and disruptive
communications as Mercury at 22Libra squares Uranus at 22Capricorn.
Be extra careful today since we tend to be more accident prone.
Learn to go with the flow of disruptions, and avoid arguing in the
face of change. Allow for delays resulting from unexpected events.
There may be thunder and lightning expressed in communications relating
to business or partnerships. Through all of this we may be able to remain
talkative and sociable, however, and we are likely to entertain Libran
thoughts of union, peace, joining forces, beauty and aesthetics.
<< Monday 7 November >>
We may be confronted with unexpected opportunities for expansion of our
earthly interests today as Jupiter at 22Scorpio sextiles Uranus at 22Capricorn.
New practical or business opportunities may present themselves. We may
have a compulsion to experience a new freedom by doing something different
from our normal routine. We may strive to discover new metaphysical or
philosophical truths, or to incorporate a new activity into our lives.
We are very receptive to new ideas, but we must be careful not to get
involved with something solely because it is a novelty. A split-second
decision may be required to take advantage of a sudden change which can open
up new opportunities, and acting quickly may work strongly to our benefit!
<< Wednesday 9 November >>
Saturn turns direct today at 05Scorpio which should loosen up certain
restrictions which may have seemed log-jammed for quite some time.
This transition identifies the start of a period during which it is
more advisable to take on new and more far-reaching responsibilities.
---------------------
Moon's Second Quarter : Thursday 10 November - Firday 18 November
---------------------
<< Thursday 10 November >>
Mercury enters fixed water sign Scorpio for a stay until 29November.
With Mercury in Scorpio our communications can become imbued with deep
emotion. Our mental position may be unwavering and stubborn, and may be
presented forcefully and relentlessly. During this time we may become
fascinated with thoughts of life after death or other occult topics, and
profound insights may be revealed. This transit is generally favorable
for joint financial resources.
We can gain inner strength with personal relationships today as Venus at
05Scorpio trines Saturn at 05Pisces. Friendships and love relationships can
gain mental stability on a more secure and honest communicative foundation.
We may feel more willing and able to make significant interpersonal
commitments today. The influences of Scorpio and Pisces can impart a
strong emotional content to serious discussions.
<< Friday 11 November >>
Events may happen quickly and catch us off guard today as the Sun at
19Scorpio squares Mars at 19Leo. Since the aspect occurs in fixed signs,
stubbornness may contribute to impasses which lead to anger. Beware of
accidents and pay close attention while driving. Obstacles to self-
expression can generate frustration and anger, which could be compounded
by a tendency to hold grudges. Let your anger go. If you can regulate
this aggression, you can enjoy invigorating energy and willpower.
<< Sunday 13 November >>
We may become mystical, meditative, and dreamy today as the Sun at 21Scorpio
sextiles Neptune at 21Capricorn. This aspect can make us very sensitive to
the situations of others. Our intuitive and creative faculties are stimulated,
and we can enjoy and appreciate art and beauty. We gain insights into the
workings of the sub-conscious mind, providing valuable material for productive
spiritual development. Romance tends toward the exotic now, so use your
wildest imagination... ;-}
Communication within relationships is accentuated today as Mercury conjuncts
Venus at 04Scorpio. In Scorpio this aspect may allow more communication
concerning heartfelt emotional attachments. With Venus retrograde we may
not be able to clearly express our own emotions. Guard against becoming
entrenched in fixed mental and emotional attitudes.
<< Monday 14 November >>
Practical and responsible thought patterns are enhanced today as Mercury at
05Scorpio trines Saturn at 05Pisces. Our powers of concentration and self-
control are increased, but overtaxing our brains could lead to depression.
<< Tuesday 15 November >>
Practical new work-related discoveries or useful new inventions are possible
today as the Sun at 23Scorpio sextiles Uranus at 23Capricorn. This aspect
may bring some mild relief from recent tensions, and can encourage the
redirection of our efforts into exciting new areas.
<< Thursday 17 November >>
Expansive and benevolent influences will be activated as the Sun conjuncts
Jupiter at 25Scorpio. This encourages optimism and philosophical concern
for issues beyond oneself. Feelings of peace and harmony prevail.
--------------------
Moon's Third Quarter : Friday 18 November - Saturday 26 November
--------------------
<< Friday 18 November >>
The full moon is exact today with a penumbral lunar eclipse as the Moon at
26Taurus opposes the Sun at 26Scorpio. Penumbral means that no part of the
Moon will be fully occluded by the earth's solid shadow (the umbra), yet it
will be darkened by the outer shadow (the penumbra). Events of this eclipse
may finalize emotional issues which have lingered since the prior eclipse at
the end of May, and may exert an underlying influence for up to six months
until the next lunar eclipse.
<< Sunday 20 November >>
Intense experiences may force us to become actively involved today as the
Sun conjuncts Pluto at 28Scorpio. We may have to repair either a posession
(eg. car) or a situation which has broken down to the point that it must
change radically in order to proceed. We may be confronted by a person
trying to exert unreasonable power over us, forcing us to defend ourselves.
Pluto influences may expose hidden elements of personal or social
transformation. In any case, we may be compelled to enter into experiences
which plunge us well below the superficial level.
<< Tuesday 22 November >>
The Sun transitions from Scorpio to Sagittarius today for a stay until
21December. This transition will signify our entrance into the mutable
(changable) portion of the fall season. The Sagittarian emphasis will redirect
our efforts towards the 9th house concerns of philosophy, higher education,
and travel, and will impart a free-spirited and laissez-faire attitude.
Sagittarian energy is aptly characterized as a care-free and happy wanderer.
The Sun's entrance into Sagittarius (ruled by Jupiter) will certainly lighten
up most people's hearts following a deeply emotional excursion through Scorpio.
The following chart highlights this sun-sign transition.

<< Wednesday 23 November >>
We can resume buying fashionable items which are likely to reflect
better taste now as Venus at 02Scorpio returns to direct motion.
Venus in Scorpio provides an opportunity to stabilize relationships
through deep emotional contact. Love relationships and partnerships
should improve and become more stable and somewhat infatuated.
<< Thursday 24 November >>
Our perceptions will be keen as Mercury at 21Scorpio sextiles Neptune at
21Capricorn. This aspect stimulates a fertile imagination, and we may
become more than a bit dreamy. Creative writing is especially favored.
<< Friday 25 November >>
Our mind is stimulated with quick intuitive and inventive thinking
as Mercury at 23Scorpio sextiles Uranus at 23Capricorn. Our original
dramatic expression is enhanced, and inventions or discoveries are
favored in electronics, science or engineering.
--------------------
Moon's Third Quarter : Saturday 26 November - Friday 2 December
--------------------
<< Sunday 27 November >>
Touchy challenges in communications and emotional disagreements in
relationships may lead to an impasse as Mercury at 25Scorpio squares Mars
at 25Leo. Troublesome delays may disrupt our party plans. Drive defensively.
<< Monday 28 November >>
Our egos may be impeded or our energies may be worn down today as the Sun
at 06Sagittarius squares Saturn at 06Pisces. Any issues we force are likely
to result in equal force opposition ... or possibly immovable opposition
since the square is in fixed signs. Try to remain low-key to avoid the
negative expressions of this aspect.
We can enjoy a burst of practical and highly detailed ideas and plans as
Mercury conjuncts Jupiter at 27Scorpio. Thoughts may be directed towards
expansive new relationships.
Try to be subtle with communications today as Mercury conjuncts Pluto at
28Scorpio. Don't try to force people or it could lead to resentment. Be
a reformer, not a dictator. Battle against your own stubbornness, try to
keep a lid on your tongue, and try to go with the flow.
<< Tuesday 29 November >>
While it may take a day or two to sink in, we are likely to feel that a huge
load is taken off of our minds when the serious and deep Mercury in Scorpio
ideas are replaced with the free-spirited laissez-faire attitudes of Mercury
in Sagittarius. We will enjoy this until 19December when Mercury proceeds
into Capricorn. With Mercury in Sagittarius we become more interested in
higher-learning and open philosophical discussions. We must be careful to
maintain some control over what we choose to express openly or we may end up
with both feet squarely in our mouths and other people becoming offended.
<< Friday 2 December >>
A twelve year Jupiter/Pluto cycle is culminated today, and a new cycle
begins as Jupiter conjuncts Pluto at 28Scorpio. Since Pluto rules Scorpio,
this coming Jupiter cycle will be especially potent. This aspect can
impart great expansive energy. We may expend extraordinary efforts to
achieve success, as we choose to define it. Guard against obsession,
but don't quit. If blocked from advancing in some areas, we must find
other areas where we can achieve something meaningful to us. We may find
the result more rewarding than the goal we originally strived for. During
this period we are likely to achieve something, so choose your goals wisely.
The next New Moon occurs in Sagittarius on 02December. Until then ...
let Pluto clear out your emotional garbage, find a goal worthy of your
efforts as Jupiter conjuncts Pluto, and don't be afraid to be adventurous
once the Sun enters Sagittarius.
Lisa and Todd

Astrology Watch Highlights
==========================
The new moon on 02December in the mutable fire sign Sagittarius provides us
with opportunities to explore the world around us, and in the process, to
expand our own personal philosophies. Sagittarius is ruled by benefic Jupiter
(expansion) and relates to the 9th house concerns of philosophy, higher
learning, travel, and exploration. As a mutable sign, Sagittarian energies
are flexible, and are characterized by a care-free laissez-faire attitude.
As with other fire signs (Aries, Leo) Sagittarian energies are associated with
dynamic and fast-moving activities, and can seem insensitive to the feelings
of those who move a bit more slowly. Sagittarian expressions can often appear
to be out-of-control, and eccentric actions may be undertaken for their shock
value alone .. usually all in fun ;-}. Don't ask anyone for their opinion
unless you truly want to know, because the Sagittarian "who cares what anyone
else thinks" attitude could yield some very blunt and startling responses.
The new moon in Sagittarius also indicates interest in foreign affairs, and
may provide some new and expansive concepts relating to world peace. These
concepts will be developed over the next year as Jupiter enters it's own
sign Sagittarius on 09December. The way to maximize your growth during this
Sagittarian new moon cycle is to lighten up your attitude and freely explore
new fields which you find interesting and emotionally rewarding.
There are no retrograde planets during this entire Moon cycle, so the time
for internal reflection is over ... now is the time to actually get out there
in the world and do something exciting!
In keeping with "Watch" tradition, a holiday shopping guide is provided below
in an attempt to avoid those buying periods which result in gifts which people
just can't get few enough of ;-}. There are no retrograde planets this year,
so luckily that is not a holiday shopping concern. As usual, there are several
void-of-course periods which fall within shopping hours, and these are the
periods to be avoided. While small gifts purchased during void-of-course
periods can be unique and fun, larger gifts may exhibit any or all of the
following problems :
- they are the wrong size, wrong color, or wrong style
- they don't work as advertised, or don't work at all
- they may seem appropriate at the time they are purchased,
but they seem out-of-place when they are opened
- they break on the first use, or are never used at all
Ignoring those periods which fall during late-night hours (which are luckily
quite frequent this month), the following void-of-course periods should be
avoided when buying those "special" gifts on your holiday list :
Saturday 10Dec 1:42p to Saturday 10Dec 4:04p
Monday 12Dec 4:49p to Tuesday 13Dec 3:57a
Thursday 15Dec 2:55p to Thursday 15Dec 5:01p
Tuesday 20Dec 2:35p to Tuesday 20Dec 4:14p
Most of these periods are quite a bit shorter than usual due to the late
degree which Pluto is currently transiting (28), so the times shouldn't be
that tough to avoid. Keep an eye on them, and have a Happy Holiday season!
(Note: If you are more than a few time-zones away from Eastern Standard Time,
check other void-of-course moon periods in the monthly calendar below.)
--------------------
Moon's First Quarter : Friday 2 December - Friday 9 December
--------------------
<< Friday 2 December >>
A twelve year Jupiter/Pluto cycle is culminated today, and a new cycle
begins as Jupiter conjuncts Pluto at 28Scorpio. Since Pluto rules Scorpio,
this coming Jupiter cycle will be especially potent. This aspect can
impart great expansive energy. We may expend extraordinary efforts to
achieve success, as we choose to define it. Guard against obsession,
but don't quit. If blocked from advancing in some areas, we must find
other areas where we can achieve something meaningful to us. We may find
the result more rewarding than the goal we originally strived for. During
this period we are likely to achieve something, so choose your goals wisely.
<< Saturday 3 December >>
Our mental ideas and thinking patterns may face obstructions which could
lead us into a depressive turn of mind today as Mercury at 06Sagittarius
squares Saturn at 06Pisces. We may feel that our free expression has been
thwarted in some way, possibly through emotional manipulation. Travel
arrangements may also face some snags, and we may feel generally down in
the dumps.
<< Tuesday 6 December >>
This is a challenging time for creatively transforming the world around us as
Mars at 28Leo squares Pluto at 28Scorpio. Power struggles and disagreements
may ensue. Energy levels are high and this aspect arouses ambition, but be
careful of arousing opposition in the people you confront, because it may be
fierce. Don't act ruthlessly or underhandedly toward others no matter how
angry you become. Avoid dangerous places and activities.
<< Thursday 8 December >>
We can gain inner strength with personal relationships today as Venus at
06Scorpio trines Saturn at 06Pisces. Friendships and love relationships can
gain mental stability on a more secure and honest communicative foundation.
We may feel more willing and able to make significant interpersonal
commitments today. The influences of Scorpio and Pisces can impart a
strong emotional content to serious discussions.
---------------------
Moon's Second Quarter : Friday 9 December - Saturday 17 December
---------------------
<< Friday 9 December >>
Jupiter enters it's own sign Sagittarius today for a year-long stay until
03January96. This ushers in a period of expansion where individual
philosophies may flourish, travel or relocation are favored, and higher
education may take a step towards truth instead of dogma. This also paves
the way for Pluto to bring expansion on a deeper (yet subtler) level when
it enters enter Sagittarius for a 12 year stay next month. While Jupiter's
entrace into Sagittarius may initially seem to expand religious fanaticism,
Pluto's subsequent arrival will exert major reformative influences on all
religious groups which do not acknowledge individual experiential truth.
Jupiter in Scorpio for the past year has encouraged us to develop a more
secure emotional foundation, and in the next year it will encourage us to
explore the world around us and step out fully into the stream of life.
<< Monday 12 December >>
Mars enters Virgo today for a stay until 22January95. Physical or male-
oriented aggressive energies (Mars) will be more favorably expressed when
directed towards service to others or attention to detail (Virgo).
Practicality, prudence and thoroughness are required. People are apt to
be a bit nervous and high-strung during this transit.
<< Tuesday 13 December >>
There may be active and witty communications today as the Sun conjuncts
Mercury at 22Sagittarius. With this aspect in Sagittarius, our interactions
may be very direct, possibly in an unwittingly hurtful way. It is likely
that we won't want to be tied down to any plans or ideas.
--------------------
Moon's Third Quarter : Saturday 17 December - Sunday 25 December
--------------------
<< Saturday 17 December >>
The full moon is exact this evening with the Moon at 26Gemini opposing the
Sun at 26Sagittarius. Flirting at parties is likely to be big fun, but it
may become more than a bit excessive, so be watchful that any flirting is
not being taken the wrong way.
<< Monday 19 December >>
Today Mercury transits from Sagittarius to Capricorn for a stay until
06January95. With Mercury in Capricorn we enter a period where orderly
and structured thought processes are likely to be applied toward career
development interests. Much practical work can be accomplished during this
transit. We are likely to be more prepared and organized, with a strong
tendency to look for bargains to the point of being cheap. We may be faced
with restrictions on our free thinking, or with added work responsibilities.
In either case we are likely to be mentally challenged by ourselves or others.
<< Tuesday 20 December >>
Our mind and communication faculties will be lightning quick as Mercury at
01Capricorn trines Mars at 01Virgo. Our highly active mind should be able
to get points across easily and quickly. Aggressive communications may ensue,
but disagreements are likely to be resolved smoothly through communication.
<< Wednesday 21 December >>
This evening the Sun transitions from Sagittarius (mutable fire) to
Capricorn (cardinal earth). This is called the Winter Solstice, the first
day of Winter, and has the least sun-light of the year (in the Northern
hemisphere). It also signifies the entrance into the cardinal (active,
initiating) portion of the winter season. The Capricorn emphasis redirects
our efforts towards the 10th house concerns of career, status and prestige.
Capricorn energy focuses upon the construction of sturdy foundations of all
kinds (physical, emotional, spiritual, etc.), and can provide a required base
for the emotional family-related expressions of its opposite/complementary
sign Cancer.
The Sun's entrance into Capricorn (ruled by Saturn) will certainly bring a
more serious and sober attitude to people after the lighter expressions of
Sagittarius. Capricorn energies can endure great sacrifices to move ahead in
a career. Caring and compassion for others must be developed, however, or the
outward success will end up being as empty and unfulfilling as the sacrifices
which led there. The following chart highlights this sun-sign transition.

We may experience a clear mind and good judgement today as Mercury at
07Capricorn sextiles Saturn at 07Pisces. This is an excellent time to
lay the groundwork for future plans. This aspect enhances our capacity for
organization, and encourages us to leave nothing to chance. Carefully
recording your dreams today may yield additional insights.
We should enjoy a high physical activity level which could be applied to
exercise, recreation, or manual work as the Sun at 02Capricorn trines Mars
at 02Virgo. If we can focus our emotions in a specific direction we may
accomplish a startling amount of work.
---------------------
Moon's Fourth Quarter : Sunday 25 December - Sunday 1 January
---------------------
<< Thursday 29 December >>
We enjoy an orderly state of mind and self-discipline excellent for
constructive work as the Sun at 08Capricorn sextiles Saturn at 08Pisces.
This aspect confers constructive ambition, good organization, and a mature
attitude. This is a very favorable time for important communications with
those in power. We are likely to make steady progress toward goals, and
enjoy an enhanced sense of dignity. Some initiative and patience may be
required in order to reap the benefits of this aspect.
<< Friday 30 December >>
Our creative and romantic imagination is aroused as Venus at 22Scorpio
sextiles Neptune at 22Capricorn. Our appreciation of beauty and our
sensitivity to the feelings of others are enhanced.
The next New Moon occurs in Capricorn 01January95. Until then ...
enjoy the Sagittarian free-spirit attitude by exploring your most wild
and crazy interests (before the Sun enters Capricorn), and have a great
holiday season.

Astrology Watch Highlights
==========================
The new moon on New Year's Day in the cardinal earth sign Capricorn provides
us with opportunities to construct a solid concrete foundation upon which to
erect the physical, emotional, and spiritual structures of our lives.
We may be able to muster the determination required to hold to New Year's
resolutions which address the restructuring of any of these foundations.
Capricorn is ruled by Saturn (restriction) and relates to the 10th house
concerns of career, prestige, ambition, and status. As a cardinal sign,
Capricorn energies are active, and are characterized by workaholic tendencies
and more serious and sober attitudes. With Capricorn energies, we become
more aware of our own sense of structure and of our ego concerns. We are
likely to place more emphasis on work, including acceptance of added
responsibilities and more concern for long-range planning.
Capricorn energies can endure great sacrifices for career ambitions, but they
may ignore the personal compassion and caring which makes life worth living.
As with other earth signs (Taurus, Virgo) Capricorn energies are associated
with practical, rational, and generally down-to-earth activities, which may
seem overly constrained to some of the freer energies of the zodiac. The way
to maximize your growth during this new moon cycle is to pay attention to job
related issues, and to strengthen your professional and business foundations.
However, retain an awareness of the qualities of the opposing sign Cancer by
remaining sensitive to home and family issues, and thus embrace both sides of
the dichotomy between conscious will and tangible success (Capricorn) versus
unconsious mind and intangible feelings (Cancer).
--------------------
Moon's First Quarter : Sunday 1 January - Sunday 8 January
--------------------
<< Monday 2 January >>
Our practical thoughts may be more than a bit confused today as Mercury
conjuncts Neptune at 23Capricorn. However, penetrating insights may also
arise, yet Neptune can be deceiving so don't believe everything you hear.
Exciting new love interests may arise today as Venus at 25Scorpio sextiles
Uranus at 25Capricorn. Science or art may figure in the excitement.
Relationships stemming from these encounters are likely to be mature and
responsible with a touch of prudishness, yet they can be embellished by
an intense and sensual emotional attraction.
Mars at 02Virgo turns retrograde today for eleven weeks until 24Mar95.
While all other outer planets turn retrograde in just over a year, and inner
planets turn retrograde several times a year, the two year orbital cycle of
Mars interacts with earth's one year cycle to result in a Mars retrograde
period only once every two years+ .. the rarest retrograde event. Mars
retrograde periods indicate a general repression and internalization of the
aggressive and desirous Mars energies making it difficult for us to press
forward in any direction and potentially leading to frustration and
misdirection of anger. Reconsolidation and more defensive positions are
suggested. Also, a few extra rules of thumb about Mars retrograde periods ..
if you buy a car, or actually any machinery (generally ruled by Mars), during
this period it is likely to be very accident prone so be sure to get good
insurance or warranties .. if you start a sexual relationship during this
period it is more likely to end in enmity .. if you initiate a lawsuit during
this period you are likely to lose (the defensive position is favored). So ..
lay low for a while on the aggressive front, reevaluate the directions which
you have been pushing in, and prepare yourself for entering a new two year
period of forceful advancement toward your goals when Mars turns direct.
<< Wednesday 4 January >>
Exciting conversations which may be energized by a slip of the tongue or two
are highlighted today as Mercury conjuncts Uranus at 26Capricorn. Listen to
inspirational new twists on some old out-dated concepts, especially at work
or in regard to practical concerns and goals.
<< Thursday 5 January >>
Later today, Mercury at 28Capricorn sextiles Venus at 28Scorpio. This mild
aspect between inner planets has a relatively brief effect of making us feel
social and attractive. It can help us to communicate effectively about likes
and dislikes, especially regarding decorating ideas or emotional experiences.
<< Friday 6 January >>
We have the potential for constructive reformative ideas and communications
today as Mercury at 29Capricorn sextiles Pluto at 29Scorpio. We may become
preoccupied with deep or profound thoughts concerning regeneration. As with
all sextile aspects, some initiating effort on our part may be required to
activate these energies.
Today Mercury transits from Capricorn to Aquarius for a stay until
14March. Mercury entering Aquarius indicates that our mental faculties
will surface from the Capricorn grind, with idealistic Aquarian (Uranian)
ideas emphasizing humanitarian and group goals. Our communications are more
conducive to the establishment of friendships, yet in a somewhat detached way.
<< Saturday 7 January >>
Some intense and profound sexual impulses may be released today which could
reform our values and our concepts of love as Venus conjuncts Pluto at
29Scorpio. Pluto reforms may not be pleasant, but they can destroy all
outdated concepts to allow for a fresh phase of regeneration to start anew.
Love and relationship reforms may be initiated by the exposure of secrets.
We begin a period of elevated attitudes today, becoming more freedom-loving
and optimistic as Venus enters Sagittarius until 04February. The Sagittarian
influence provides a great time for parties and philosophical friendships,
but be careful since people may say what's on their mind with total disregard
for effects on others. Keep your mouth in check and you should have fun ;-}.
---------------------
Moon's Second Quarter : Sunday 8 January - Monday 16 January
---------------------
<< Monday 9 January >>
We may be prone to a mix of mismatched overreactions today as Venus at
02Sagittarius squares Mars at 02Virgo. We may oscillate irregularly
between outspoken displays and self-conscious musings. Go with the flow ...
<< Wednesday 11 January >>
We can effectively initiate communications for expansive new projects as
Mercury at 06Aquarius sextiles Jupiter at 06Sagittarius. Favored are
Aquarian projects involving experimentation, or Sagittarian projects
forging ahead into uncharted territories.
<< Friday 13 January >>
We can be creative in a tangible or practical way today as the Sun conjuncts
Neptune at 23Capricorn. We may have dreamy or idealistic business thoughts,
and may grasp new insights into business planning processes. There is a
potential for deception today, so keep your eyes and ears open. Be careful
not to overdo it with drugs or alcohol.
<< Saturday 14 January >>
One of the most favorable astrological aspects also occurs today as Venus
conjuncts Jupiter at 07Sagittarius. This aspect can confer optimism,
benevolence, wit, and interpersonal grace. Our outlook on relationships
may take a wild swing for the better, and we should enjoy an expansive
emotional burst with a free-wheeling Sagittarian flair.
--------------------
Moon's Third Quarter : Monday 16 January - Monday 23 January
--------------------
<< Monday 16 January >>
The Moon is full today at 26Cancer opposed to the Sun at 26Capricorn.
With the Sun also conjunct Uranus today, this full Moon may trigger action
on a variety of prevalent issues concerning the balancing of work and family.
We may be able to bring a new sense of structure and order to broken
relationships as Venus at 09Sagittarius squares Saturn at 09Pisces. This can
indicate an excellent time to sit down and arrive at a conscious understanding
of what each person expects from the other in a relationship. We may feel
a burden of responsibility which requires significant effort on our part.
We may experience unexpected shocks as the Sun conjuncts Uranus at
26Capricorn. This aspect brings an interest in shaking off old routines,
and we can enjoy an exciting inner drive to be different. It is a _great_
time to break stale habits! This aspect can impart personal magnetism and
eccentricity, and can also indicate practical innovations at work. Don't
get caught up struggling with boring stuff today.. break free and do
something exciting!
<< Tuesday 17 January >>
After 11 years transiting through its own sign Pisces, Pluto makes its
first entry into Sagittarius today. Pluto will then return to Scorpio
in retrograde motion on 21April, and re-enter Sagittarius in November
for a new eleven year sojourn. With Pluto in Sagittarius, various
disconnected ideas may be unified to form a more consistent and focussed
conception. Interesting developments may arise in religion or law, and
main-stream religions will likely be confronted with new information which
could provoke significant change. Historically, powerful individuals have
come to the fore when Pluto was in Sagittarius, imparting decisive leadership
abilities and initiating significant popular movements. While leaders
themselves may (or may not) hold well-balanced views, followers may approach
their beliefs in a fanatical manner. A further escalation of religious or
legal confrontations may ensue, with strong leaders on both sides.
Conservative views are not likely to prevail in the end, since Pluto's
influence will tend to break down old structures and replace them with a
reformed core of beliefs upon which new structures can be built.
<< Friday 20 January >>
The Sun transitions from cardinal earth sign Capricorn to fixed air sign
Aquarius today for a stay until 18February. This signifies our entrance into
the fixed (stable) portion of the winter season. The Aquarian emphasis will
redirect our efforts towards the 11th house concerns of groups, social work,
and worthy causes. Aquarius is ruled by Uranus which contributes erratic,
ingenious, and revolutionary influences, with an emphasis on science, high
technology, or astrology. Aquarian energy can be perceptive, detached, and
impersonal, and can provide a confident intellectual base for leadership
expressions of its opposite/complementary sign Leo.
The Sun's entrance into Aquarius will bring a more detached and intellectual
attitude to people after the heavier expressions of Capricorn. Aquarian energy
invariably attempts to idealize the human condition, denying personal foibles
and being generally impersonal, yet pursuing social and humanitarian issues
and group goals. Aquarian energy may feel more compassion for idealistic
concerns of 'humanity' than for the concerns of actual individual human beings
who are inevitably not so ideal. The following chart highlights this sun-sign
transition.

We may experience new and reformative ideas and actions as the Sun at
00Aquarius sextiles Pluto at 00Sagittarius. We are likely to experience
intense emotions and the strength of our convictions. This is a good day
to make productive changes of a rebuilding nature.
<< Sunday 22 January >>
This is a challenging time for creatively transforming the world around us
as Mars at 00Virgo squares Pluto at 00Sagittarius. Power struggles and
disagreements may ensue. Energy levels are high and this aspect arouses
ambition, but be careful of arousing opposition in the people you confront,
because it may be fierce. Don't act ruthlessly or underhandedly toward
others no matter how angry you become. Avoid dangerous places and activities.
Today Mars enters Leo (fixed fire) by retrograde motion for a stay until
25May. During this transit we will become much more impulsive and
enthusiastic compared to the measured responses we are now expressing with
Mars in Virgo. If we can discipline and harness our passion and energy,
and avoid the pitfalls of arrogance during the Mars retrograde period,
then we can make dramatic leaps of progress once Mars turns direct.
---------------------
Moon's Fourth Quarter : Monsday 23 January - Monday 30 January
---------------------
<< Wednesday 25 January >>
Today we enter a mentally blas� period as Mercury at 21Aquarius turns
retrograde until 16February. When Mercury turns retrograde our communication
faculties slow down, we become more reflective, and communications in general
falter. This does not have to be such a negative period so long as you don't
try to push..push..push everything to completion. Try to allow extra time,
and be content to let things happen at their own pace. You definitely don't
want a tight schedule when Mercury is retrograde, so try to get as many
lingering responsibilities as possible resolved before today.
<< Friday 27 January >>
Mercury retrograde at 21Aquarius sextiles Venus at 21Sagittarius today.
This mild positive aspect occurred earlier this month in direct motion.
While this time we may still express our feelings freely, others will be
less likely to understand us or to reciprocate.
<< Monday 30 January >>
Our ego drives will get energized as the Sun at 10Aquarius sextiles Jupiter
at 10Sagittarius. With a bit of internal bolstering we can become brimming
with boisterous self-confidence and optimism. This aspect can also bring
good luck, and things planned today should work out well. It is also a
good day for group participation activities or philosophical pursuits.
The next new Moon occurs at 10Aquarius on 30January. Until then ...
utilize the stimulating formative energy of this Capricorn moon cycle to
establish a firm foundation, and prepare to let up on the forward progress
to re-evaluate your directions as Mars and then Mercury turn retrograde.

Astrology Watch Highlights
==========================
The new moon on 30January in Aquarius (fixed air) provides us with
opportunities to re-establish our involvement with the creative goals of
groups and organizations, with friends, and with humanitarian interests.
Aquarius is ruled by Uranus (erratic change) and relates to the 11th house
concerns of organizations, personal goals and objectives, science, and a
detached mental outlook. As a fixed sign, Aquarian energies are stable;
and as an air sign the energy is expressed through ideas rather than
through actions (fire), emotions (water), or things (earth).
Using Aquarian influences individuals can enjoy more positive self-expression
through scientific, humanitarian, or occult groups. People also gain a more
universal perspective on life. The way to maximize growth during this new
moon cycle is to condense ideas and thoughts into viable plans for the future
which are designed for the benefit of all rather than just for ourselves.
Due to having both Mercury and Mars in retrograde motion during this moon
cycle, there are fewer planetary aspects than usual. This further emphasizes
internal germination and growth instead of the more external manifestations,
at least until Mercury returns to direct motion in mid-February (and most
likely until Mars turns direct in March).
---------------------
Moon's First Quarter : Monday 30 January - Tuesday 7 February
---------------------
<< Monday 30 January >>
Our ego drives will get energized as the Sun at 10Aquarius sextiles Jupiter
at 10Sagittarius. With a bit of internal bolstering we can become brimming
with boisterous self-confidence and optimism. This aspect can also bring
good luck, and things planned today should work out well. It is also a
good day for group participation activities or philosophical pursuits.
<< Wednesday 1 February >>
There is great potential for some intense amorous encounters as Venus at
27Sagittarius trines Mars at 27Leo. This aspect is _excellent_ for creating
very harmonious love relationships ... so make your moves now. ;-}
<< Friday 3 February >>
Today should be a talkative and social day as the Sun conjuncts Mercury at
15Aquarius. We are likely to entertain idealistic Aquarian thoughts with
humanitarian goals. However, with Mercury retrograde we may not be very
effective at getting our ideas across. Avoid a know-it-all attitude and
ideas are more likely to be received as they are intended.
<< Saturday 4 February >>
Some of the wild Sagittarian fun will wear off today as Venus enters
practical and serious Capricorn for a stay until 02March. Venus is weighted
down by Capricorn's willingness to sacrifice current rewards for ambitions and
eventual potential successes. However, professional and business activites
can work harmoniously, and it is a good time to renovate at work. Older
more mature people may be regarded as more attractive during this transit.
<< Monday 6 February >>
We can effectively initiate communications for expansive new projects as
Mercury at 11Aquarius sextiles Jupiter at 11Sagittarius. Favored are
Aquarian projects involving experimentation, or Sagittarian projects
forging ahead into uncharted territories.
----------------------
Moon's Second Quarter : Monday 30 January - Tuesday 7 February
----------------------
<< Saturday 11 February >>
Try to stay out of fights today as the Sun at 23Aquarius opposes Mars
retrograde at 23Leo. During this period it is advised to avoid battles,
avoid extensive travel, and be extremely careful with combustible materials
(and be sure to turn your iron off!). Aggression is likely to be misplaced,
and is as likely to be turned back towards you. Relationships may also
suffer from insensitive 'me-first' attitudes.
---------------------
Moon's Third Quarter : Wednesday 15 February - Wednesday 22 February
---------------------
<< Wednesday 15 February >>
The Moon is full today with the Moon at 25Leo opposed to the Sun at
25Aquarius. This can be a potent energizer, yet our leadership may be quite
stubborn in its adherence to grandiose plans, and may suffer from an Aquarian
know-it-all attitude which may not account for all aspects of a situation.
We may be able to bring a new sense of structure and order to broken
relationships as Venus at 13Capricorn sextiles Saturn at 13Pisces. This
is an excellent time to sit down and arrive at a conscious understanding of
what each person expects from the other in a relationship. Venus sextile
Saturn favors tasks requiring thoroughness and attention to detail.
<< Thursday 17 February >>
Mercury at 06Aquarius turns to direct motion today which will gradually
allow communications to flow more smoothly, and will reduce the effects
of distractive interruptions.
<< Saturday 18 February >>
Today the Sun enters Pisces for a stay until 20March. The mutable Piscean
influences (ruled by Neptune) bring a more sensitive and emotional attitude
compared to the fixed mental expressions of Aquarius. People may become more
sensitive, creative, and romantic, and will strive for insights on deeper
emotional levels. The following chart highlights this sun-sign transition.

Bad feelings are apt to flare up in an open encounter today as the Sun at
01Pisces squares Pluto at 01Sagittarius. For this aspect the Sun can represent
powerful authority figures and Pluto can indicate the emotional eruption of
hidden grudges. This is a good day to keep our mouths shut so we don't
close any doors behind ourselves.
----------------------
Moon's Fourth Quarter : Wednesday 22 February - Wednesday 1 March
----------------------
<< Sunday 26 February >>
We may enjoy a creative and dreamily romantic time today as Venus conjuncts
Neptune at 25Capricorn. This feeling may be enhanced if we can extend beyond
the practicality of Capricorn to enjoy the aspect more fully. Use of drugs
or meditative states may also be highlighted.
The next new moon occurs in Pisces on 01March. Until then ... avoid
overcommitment during the Mercury retrograde period, and begin the shift
from intellectual Aquarian attitudes to the more sensitive emotional
receptiveness of Pisces.

Astrology Watch Highlights
==========================
The new moon on 01March in Pisces (mutable water) provides us with
opportunities to reestablish a close connection with our deepest and most
profound feelings. Pisces is ruled by Neptune (sublime delusion) and relates
to 12th house concerns of unconscious emotions, past experiences, intuitive
thoughts, behind the scenes actions, incarceration, and institutions.
As a mutable sign, Piscean energies are flexible; and as a water sign the
energy is expressed through emotions rather than through actions (fire),
things (earth), or thoughts (air). Using Piscean influences, we can enjoy
art, music, poetry and any project that requires sensitivity and creative,
imaginative thought. To maximize growth during this new moon cycle allow
your psychic and intuitive perceptions to manifest, share compassionate
feelings for others, and help behind the scenes with institutions or social
organizations.
During this Moon cycle we will be continuing to reevaluate old habits of
energy expenditure and desire expression until Mars finally turns direct
on 24March. This has been a relatively long Mars retrograde period (11+
weeks), and has had a cumulative effect of draining our energy through
internal struggles and unproductive pursuits. Don't give up now, however.
It will soon feel as if your foot is loosening up on the brakes, so try to
point yourself in a chosen new direction before the accelerator kicks in.
---------------------
Moon's First Quarter : Wednesday 1 March - Thursday 9 March
---------------------
<< Wednesday 1 March >>
Excitement and unpredictability may spruce up our love life today as Venus
conjuncts Uranus at 29Capricorn. Unexpected changes could rattle the
foundations of our affections. We may become attracted to a new love
interest, and with Venus in Capricorn the new love may be someone older
or someone met through work.
We can effectively initiate communications for expansive new projects as
Mercury at 14Aquarius sextiles Jupiter at 14Sagittarius. Favored are
Aquarian projects involving experimentation, or Sagittarian projects
forging ahead into uncharted territories.
<< Thursday 2 March >>
Venus enters Aquarius today for a stay until 28March. Venus in Aquarius
stimulates a more detached and intellectual approach to love, and may be
accompanied by more idealistic affection for 'humanity' than for any
individual person. We may have difficulty empathizing with the emotional
problems of others since we may concern ourselves only with the big picture
and overlook significant personal issues. Group activities and humanitarian
causes will have more of an attraction for us now.
<< Friday 3 March >>
Our love life or affective nature may undergo a somewhat radical yet
contructive reform as Venus at 01Aquarius sextiles Pluto at 01Sagittarius.
With Venus in Aquarius this change may result from group activities, and
with Pluto in Sagittarius we may be quite adventurous. As with all sextile
aspects we must take the initiative or little will happen.
We could be in for a hot one today as Mercury at 16Aquarius opposes Mars
retrograde at 16Leo. This can lead to fights, with more communication
potentially leading to more fights. They may be petty squabbling fights as
opposed to fights with some clear goal in mind. Be careful of expressing
yourself in too abrupt a manner as this is bound to inflame those you are
relating to. Also, be careful driving during this period since accidents
are more likely.
Pluto at 01Sagittarius turns retrograde today until 08August. For a few
days while Pluto is essentially stationary but about to turn retrograde it
can bring out power struggles involving matters of business finances, debts,
loans, and other major changes which are often irreversible. Don't cling to
things which are falling by the wayside. Try not to react to the inevitable
destruction of some things by making decisions which preclude future options.
If it doesn't fit in your life don't blow it up ... blow it out of your life.
<< Saturday 5 March >>
Mild personal problems arising from hypocrisy, extravagance, and inflated
self-importance are indicated today as the Sun at 14Pisces squares Jupiter
at 14Sagittarius. While the effects of this square are not severe, it can
lead to overexpansion, foolish optimism, and waste. We may feel a bit on the
slow side today, and just taking it easy may be the theme of the day. We have
a tendency to adhere to dogmatic views which may cause problems in romantic,
social, or business situations. Gambling is unwise at this time, and charity
may be tinged with a desire for personal recognition and praise. The
'antidote' for most of these negative expressions is to maintain a more
objective and philosophical perspective on issues which arise today.
Restrictions or increased responsibilities may weigh heavily upon us today
and may be sobering or depressing as the Sun conjuncts Saturn at 15Pisces.
This may also represent a disciplinarian attitude toward using authority.
Arthritis or joint pain may also kick up and restrict some people's mobility.
Try to do something practical today, or reconsider long-range plans.
---------------------
Moon's Second Quarter : Thursday 9 March - Thursday 16 March
---------------------
<< Thursday 9 March >>
We may experience some measure of progress on leadership or experimental
projects today as Mars retrograde at 15Leo trines Jupiter at 15Sagittarius.
Our desires and ego concerns may be pleasantly satisfied.
<< Tuesday 14 March >>
A conflict may arise between our humanitarian concerns and our expressions
of leadership or aggression as Venus at 14Aquarius opposes Mars retrograde
at 14Leo. We must attempt to rise above the apparent conflicts to recognize
the complementary nature of these expressions, and thus provide a balance
between our sense of values and our aggressive reactions. Venus/Mars aspects
imply physical attractions, and many first-time physical encounters may arise
today, with a fitting motto for today being "If you can't be with the one you
love, then love the one you're with." But with Mars retrograde this is not
a good time to start an enduring relationship.
Today Mercury enters Pisces for a stay until it enters Aries on 02April.
When Mercury is in Pisces (ruled by Neptune) we can become more in touch
with the hidden sides of our personalities and our unconscious drives, yet
we are more likely to keep such insights to ourselves. We are likely to have
increased concern with spiritual development, and may feel like escaping into
reclusion to sort out our ideas. Keeping secrets from others will only
undermine their confidence in us once the hidden secrets are revealed.
<< Wednesday 15 March >>
Our manner of communicating to ourselves and others may undergo challenges
later today as Mercury at 01Pisces squares Pluto at 01Sagittarius. Challenges
may be severe enough to divert us to a new way of thinking about ourselves
and of communicating to others. Active and emotional disagreements may ensue,
yet with both planets in mutable signs, some reconciliation may be possible.
Our best bet is to accept any criticism from others with a calm and listening
ear, and then use the feedback to modify our attitudes and behaviors. While
this sounds good, we may be more likely to take offense at criticism, or to
write it off as being totally baseless and fabricated by a lunatic ;-}.
We can enjoy benevolent and peaceful feelings today as Venus at 15Aquarius
sextiles Jupiter at 15Sagittarius. This aspect can impart creative talent
and generous expression of affection, although with Venus in Aquarius our
expressions may be somewhat detached. This may also be a good day to
initiate financial enterprises or real-estate transactions.
Our psychic sensitivities will be heightened today as the Sun at 25Pisces
sextiles Neptune at 25Capricorn. We may be able to unify many aspects of
our inner and outer spiritual natures. While we may feel a bit confused,
if we apply a little extra effort we may be able to clarify many spiritual
questions which have been plaguing us for some time.
--------------------
Moon's Third Quarter : Thursday 16 March - Thursday 23 March
--------------------
<< Thursday 16 March >>
Issues revolving around the opposing influences of criticism (Virgo)
and sensitivity (Pisces) may flare up tonight with the Moon full at
26Virgo opposing the Sun at 26Pisces. Try not to offend other's
sensitivities today, and correspondingly, try not to take offense.
<< Monday 20 March >>
The Sun at 29Pisces sextiles Uranus at 29Capricorn today. This highlights
practical new discoveries and useful new inventions, likely to be
work-related. The Sun-Uranus sextile may bring some mild relief from recent
tensions, and encourage the redirection of our energies into new areas.
The Sun enters Aries tonight for a stay until 20April. This marks the
Vernal Equinox and the beginning of Spring! The Aries dynamism is
reflected as the initiation of new life: flowers budding, animals mating,
and people doing all those romantic things they are known for. Keep in
mind that Aries is a Cardinal (active) Fire sign, and try to keep your
cool since there may be some people acting more inflammatory than usual.
This is actually one of the most significant Sun-sign transitions since it
signifies the culmination of one natural astrological cycle (Pisces .. natural
12th house) and the initiation of a new cycle (Aries .. natural 1st house).
This Sun-sign transition is highlighted in the following table:

---------------------
Moon's Fourth Quarter : Thursday 23 March - Thursday 20 March
---------------------
<< Friday 24 March >>
While technically Mars turns direct at 13Leo today, it will take a few
days before manifesting any effects. When it does, it signifies a 'coming
out' of our desire nature from retrograde introspection to direct action, and
relief from the foul-ups of misdirected aggression. Frustrations which may
have built up for some time may now be expressed and/or resolved through
either bold or playful Leo actions. We can make great progress during this
transit, especially if we avoid adopting an arrogant posture.
We can bolster optimistic attitudes towards long-range goals today as Mercury
at 15Pisces squares Jupiter at 15Sagittarius. This aspect can be favorable,
and at this time we may grasp the whole picture and think in big, ideal,
abstract terms. We may be sloppy with details, however, and may be inclined
to overlook important details which conflict with larger plans.
<< Saturday 25 March >>
On this day, those in authority may issue orders in especially cold and
insensitive terms as Mercury conjuncts Saturn at 17Pisces. As a result
of this harshness the abused may become a dangerous enemy. This aspect
will especially impact those involved with communication or transport
services, or with issues relating to restrictions on communications.
<< Tuesday 28 March >>
Venus transits from Aquarius to Pisces today for a stay until 22April.
Venus in Pisces is extremely sensitive, and demonstrates extraordinary
emotional sympathy and understanding, kindness towards those in need, and
appreciation of beauty. Due to the influence of Neptune, the ruler of Pisces,
we can understand others on a deeply spiritual and compassionate level.
This transit is associated with secret romances and behind-the-scenes
activity. We are attracted to places of retreat and romantic privacy.
Relationships may be upset by fixed attitudes and stubborn behavior today
as Venus at 00Pisces squares Pluto at 00Sagittarius. Past secrets may
surface. Pride may have to be swallowed in order to maintain relationships.
<< Thursday 30 March >>
Our perceptions will be keen as Mercury at 25Pisces sextiles Neptune
at 25Capricorn. This aspect stimulates a fertile imagination, and we may
become more than a bit dreamy. Creative writing is especially favored.
The next new moon occurs in Aries on 30March. Until then ...
since our thinking processes are running a bit more smoothly now that
Mercury is direct, give some thought to selecting favorable directions
for your new two-year Mars cycle of redirected energy and drive.

Astrology Watch Highlights
==========================
The new moon on 30March in Aries (cardinal fire) provides us with an
opportunity to make a fresh start. Aries is the astrological new year,
and thus a time for new beginnings. Aries is ruled by Mars (desire and
aggression) and relates to 1st house concerns of ego, independence, new
ventures, self-awareness and discovery.
As a cardinal sign, Aries energies are dynamic; and as a fire sign, energy
is expressed through actions rather than through emotions (water), things
(earth), or thoughts (air). Using Aries influences, individuals can enjoy
competitive sports, new projects, and any activity that requires direct
assertiveness. We should guard against over-impulsiveness or being too
headstrong. To maximize growth during this new moon cycle initiate changes
now. This is a new chance for making New Year's resolutions, so start fresh,
develop new ideas, explore new options, and try new things.
--------------------
Moon's First Quarter : Thursday 30 March - Saturday 8 April
--------------------
<< Saturday 1 April >>
We will be pulling in the reigns on our expansive tendencies for the next
several months as Jupiter at 15Sagittarius turns retrograde today until
02August. With Jupiter retrograde, our expansiveness shifts from outward
expressions to more introspective pursuits, and with Jupiter in Sagittarius
we may experience significant shifts in our inner philosophies which will
prepare us to initiate another period of external expansion in August.
Uranus enters it's own sign Aquarius today for the first time in 85 years.
Uranus will soon turn retrograde, however, and will return to Capricorn
on 08June for the rest of this year. Uranus spends about 7 years in each
sign, so the current transit will provide a brief glimpse of the forces of
change which will be active for the better part of the next decade. Some
areas which Uranus in Aquarius is likely to prompt change are the following:
more equitable distribution of resources and power between the "haves" and
the "have nots", a resurgence of activism for gender and racial equality,
scientific and technological advances, potentially radical changes in
established religions and/or significant new religious teachings, and
uprisings of rebellion against tyrannical leaders. Astrology is likely to
increase in popularity, the existence of UFO's may be confirmed, and new
political parties may arise to represent the common man. These Uranian
ideas are likely to be regarded as a bit radical at first, yet they may
achieve more widely accepted status when Neptune joins Uranus in Aquarius
in 1998. If there is any single event which actually identifies the
beginning of the "Age of Aquarius", this is probably it!
<< Sunday 2 April >>
Mercury enters Aries today for a stay until 17April. With Mercury in Aries
we are likely to react with quick and aggressive mental responses. There is
an abundance of mental energy during this time, but we are more likely to act
first and think later. This is a perfect time to start a resolution to "Count
to Ten before Flaming", but it will be a very difficult period to hold to it.
Exciting and unexpected communications may occur today as Mercury at 00Aries
sextiles Uranus at 00Aquarius. While discussions may become heated, a more
philosophical perspective should prevail.
We may be struck by some highly penetrating and profound ideas as Mercury at
00Aries trines Pluto at 00Sagittarius. This is an excellent day for inventions
and discoveries. It also favors long range planning and insightful thoughts
of future reforms or changes.
<< Monday 3 April >>
We should enjoy a high physical activity level which could be applied to
exercise, recreation, or manual work as the Sun at 14Aries trines Mars
at 14Leo. If we can focus our emotions in a specific direction we may
accomplish a startling amount of work.
<< Wednesday 5 April >>
This should be an optimistic and happy day or two as the Sun at 15Aries
trines Jupiter retrograde at 15Sagittarius. With both in Fire signs our
activity level may get quite a boost. With Jupiter currently retrograde
we may end up a bit over-extended, but we should still take this aspect and
run with it! Throw a party, or at least attend one. This aspect is also
favorable for completing home renovations which never quite got finished.
---------------------
Moon's Second Quarter : Saturday 8 April - Saturday 15 April
---------------------
<< Sunday 9 April >>
Our mind and communication faculties will be lightning quick as Mercury at
15Aries trines Mars at 15Leo. Our highly active mind should be able to
get points across easily and quickly. Aggressive communications may ensue,
but disagreements are likely to be resolved smoothly through communication.
We needn't expect any serious problems as Venus at 15Pisces squares Jupiter
at 15Sagittarius, yet we may experience personal let-downs of an emotional
nature. This aspect may bring out cruder mannerisms lacking in social grace,
and we may procrastinate and waste time on unproductive pursuits.
<< Monday 10 April >>
Our mental outlook is looking up today with optimistic viewpoints as Mercury
at 15Aries trines Jupiter at 15Sagittarius. This aspect may be accompanied by
job opportunities for interesting and rewarding work, or promotions. At this
time communications are smooth and philosophically minded. We demonstrate a
good balance between attention to detail versus grasp of the comprehensive
view. Emotional disturbances may improve through relaxation or excercise.
This aspect is favorable for study, writing, teaching, interacting with the
communications media, or travel related to philosophy, religion, or education.
We are provided with opportunities to awaken and transform our personal
religious and philosophical freedom as Uranus at 00Aquarius sextiles Pluto
at 00Sagittarius. This aspect is active throughout this year, and is exact
today. This aspect can provide an unyielding focus on innovation, and an
increased clarity of purpose. Attempt to direct your energies towards
longer range goals which are worth achieving, and keep an open mind for
potentially unexpected solutions to current problems.
<< Wednesday 12 April >>
We may experience steadfast progress on projects at work or at home today
as Mars at 15Leo trines Jupiter at 15Sagittarius. Our desires and ego
concerns may be pleasantly satisfied.
<< Thursday 13 April >>
Later tonight we may experience a 'wet blanket' atmosphere as Venus conjuncts
Saturn at 20Pisces. This may not be much fun, but it can be effectively
utilized to reestablish relationships on firmer foundations over the next
couple of days. We may experience restrictions, delays, or roadblocks of an
emotional nature. We may feel better if we spend some time redecorating.
<< Friday 14 April >>
There may be active and witty communications today as the Sun conjuncts
Mercury at 25Aries. With this aspect in Aries, our interactions may
be very sharp and direct, possibly in an unwittingly hurtful way. It is
likely that we won't want to be tied down to any plans or ideas.
--------------------
Moon's Third Quarter : Saturday 15 April - Saturday 22 April
--------------------
<< Saturday 15 April >>
The Moon is full this morning at 25Libra opposing the Sun at 25Aries.
This is an especially active full moon period in Cardinal signs, furthur
accentuated by the Lunar Eclipse. We need to rely on the balancing act
nature of Libra to counteract some potentially wild and crazy Aries actions.
Our practical thinking may become confused and deluded today as Mercury at
26Libra squares Neptune at 26Capricorn. However, this influence can also
be especially fruitful for highly creative and intuitive thinking.
We may be in for other challenges today resulting from delusion, dreaminess,
creativity, or dissipation of energies as the Sun at 26Aries squares Neptune
at 26Capricorn. This may inspire some to creative expression, and may instill
psychic content into relationships, yet it may also create delusional thinking
with respect to any practical or factual reality orientation. Drugs or other
escapist tendencies may be indulged.
<< Monday 17 April >>
Mercury enters Taurus today for a stay until 02May. During this time our
thinking will be practical and deliberate. A danger of this Mercury placement
is mental complacency, yet careful planning and patience are supported, and
real-estate transactions are favored. We are likely to engage in practical
down-to-earth communications, yet we may retain fixed mental attitudes.
Our attention turns towards what we value. We may experience a short period
of mental confusion as Mercury changes signs.
We should prepare for and beware of sudden upsets and disruptive
communications as Mercury at 00Taurus squares Uranus at 00Aquarius.
Be extra careful today since we tend to be more accident prone.
Learn to go with the flow of disruptions, and avoid arguing in the
face of change. Allow for delays resulting from unexpected events.
There may be thunder and lightning expressed in communications relating
to possessions or philosophy. Through all of this we may be able to remain
talkative, however, and we may be able to use the resulting communications
to resolve difficulties.
<< Tuesday 18 April >>
Our creative and romantic imagination is aroused as Venus at 26Pisces
sextiles Neptune at 26Capricorn. Our appreciation of beauty and our
sensitivity to the feelings of others are enhanced.
<< Thursday 20 April >>
The Sun enters Taurus (fixed, earth) today for a stay until 21May, ushering
in the fixed portion of the Spring season. Plant or transplant your gardens
now to encourage steady growth, and sow new seeds for hardy development.
Aries has been rushing out in new directions, now Taurus sets our feet back
firmly on the ground. The following chart highlights this sun-sign transition.

We should prepare for and beware of sudden upsets and disruptive situations
as the Sun at 00Taurus squares Uranus at 00Aquarius. We desire to break
down our everyday routines today, yet we may end up taking foolhardy risks
to do so. Be extra careful today since we tend to be more accident prone.
Avoid arguing or you could make things worse.
Pluto retrogrades back into Scorpio today until it returns to Sagittarius
on 10November. As we have been experiencing for the past 11 years, Pluto
in Scorpio governs world events which can transform people at the deepest
emotional levels. Border conflicts and wars which may have recently shifted
to a more philosohical level may revert to armed conflict during this period.
Interpersonal exchanges can also take on an emotionally extreme and
potentially violent tone, although only when personal planets make adverse
aspects with transiting Pluto. There are apparently a few more things
which Pluto needs to ream out of our collective emotional consciousness
before we can all proceed to focus on the upcoming transformation of our
philosophical underpinnings when Pluto transits through Sagittarius.
<< Friday 21 April >>
Our emotional expressions will be intense and profound as Venus at 29Pisces
trines Pluto at 29Scorpio. Meetings with new people may feel pre-ordained,
and could result in intense and sexual relationships. New insights into the
workings behind the scenes of relationships should be carefully listened to.
---------------------
Moon's Fourth Quarter : Saturday 22 April - Saturday 29 April
---------------------
<< Saturday 22 April >>
The activity level in our relationships will increase markedly as Venus
enters Aries for a brief stay until 16May. During this transit we become more
impulsive and aggressive in our emotional expressions. Affections can also
become impulsive and unstable. The opposite/complementary energies of Jupiter
in Libra can be invaluable for providing balance and harmony in relationships
during this period of rapid-fire emotional activity.
Exciting new love interests may arise today as Venus at 00Aries sextiles
Uranus at 00Aquarius. Science or art may figure in the excitement.
Relationships stemming from these encounters may be quite philosophical,
yet may also be accompanied by an intense and sensual emotional attraction.
<< Wednesday 26 April >>
Touchy challenges in communications and emotional disagreements in
relationships may lead to an impasse as Mercury at 19Taurus squares Mars at
19Leo. Troublesome delays may disrupt our party plans. Drive defensively.
<< Thursday 27 April >>
Our capacity for organization is enhanced as Mercury at 21Taurus sextiles
Saturn at 21Pisces. This aspect encourages us to leave nothing to chance.
Carefully recording your dreams today may yield additional insights.
Neptune at 26Capricorn turns retrograde today until 06October. This
transit accentuates our internal conflicts between dreams versus practicality.
We need to use and cultivate our imagination even in opposition to practical
issues, and we need to get our affairs in order. Many things which have been
kept concealed for a long time may be exposed as Neptune turns retrograde.
<< Saturday 29 April >>
This is an excellent time for practical creativity and our imaginative powers
as Mercury at 26Taurus trines Neptune at 26Capricorn. We may achieve harmony
through creative pursuits, or we may just enjoy daydreaming today.
The next new Moon occurs in Taurus on April 29th, and will be a bit more
influential as it is associated with a Solar Eclipse. Until then ...
adopt a fresh exploratory Aries attitude to get up and get going in new
and exciting directions. Go for it!

Astrology Watch Highlights
==========================
The new moon on April 29th at 09Taurus (fixed earth) provides an opportunity
to initiate new projects on a firm and stable foundation. Since Taurus is
ruled by Venus, this could mean a new love relationship or new stability
within an existing relationship.
As a fixed sign, Taurus energies are stable; and as an earth sign energy
is expressed through tangible things rather than through emotions (water),
actions (fire), or ideas (air). Using Taurean influences, individuals
can enjoy gardening, fixing up a house, practical domestic tasks, secure love
relationships, and issues relating to assets and possessions. We should
guard against becoming too closed-minded, too stubborn, or too materialistic.
To maximize growth during this new moon cycle we should till soil and sow
seeds in our physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual gardens, thus
initiating germination of earthy and practical beginnings which can yield
future hardy growth. The same applies for flower or vegetable gardens.
The influence of this new moon period may last six months or more as it is
associated with a solar eclipse.
--------------------
Moon's First Quarter : Saturday 29 April - Sunday 07 May
--------------------
<< Saturday 29 April >>
This is an excellent time for practical creativity and our imaginative powers
as Mercury at 26Taurus trines Neptune at 26Capricorn. We may achieve harmony
through creative pursuits, or we may just enjoy daydreaming today.
<< Tuesday 2 May >>
Keep an open mind to revolutionary ideas today as Mercury at 29Taurus
opposes Pluto at 29Scorpio. Upsetting events may occur, possibly during
travel, which force a reform of our regular thought structures, but we may
have needed a bit of adjustment. We can delve to the roots of problems,
but attempts to persuade others could result in conflicts.
Mercury enters its own sign Gemini today for a stay until 10July. With
Mercury in Gemini our thinking is active and versatile yet scattered, and
we may be very humorous and witty. Our thoughts may be flighty, making
concentration on a single goal difficult, yet we may be able to make progress
on several tasks in parallel. Manual and verbal dexterity is enhanced.
Mercury in talkative, quick-thinking Gemini is great for learning new things
or adapting to new ways of thinking.
We may feel bright and alert today as Mercury at 00Gemini trines Uranus at
00Aquarius. We can generate ambitious new ideas relying upon conservative
ground-work, and some of our inventions or discoveries may be surprising or
even startling. Practical science discoveries are emphasized.
<< Wednesday 3 May >>
We may become romantically inclined today as Venus at 14Aries trines
Jupiter at 14Sagittarius ... one of the most positive astrological aspects.
This aspect could enable us to break free of restrictive influences and
construct a new foundation for our affectional interests. Venus trine
Jupiter is also excellent for a bit of redecorating around the home or office.
Artistic endeavors involving music or art are likely to give you pleasure and
turn out well due to the great creative potential. This is a time when we may
finally receive deserved rewards which were previously earned, and when we are
likely to demonstrate more benevolence toward others.
<< Friday 5 May >>
Uranus turns retrograde today at 00Aquarius until 06October. During
this period our organization and self-discipline, though well-meaning, may
falter. There is a need to accept practical responsibilities. If they
are not dealt with effectively then sudden events may disrupt our life
which require change and adaptability.
---------------------
Moon's Second Quarter : Sunday 07 May - Sunday 14 May
---------------------
<< Friday 12 May >>
We can easily communicate our feelings to others today as Venus at 25Aries
sextiles Mars at 25Leo. This aspect may lead to pleasant and romantic
experiences which may build upon the spark of Aries affections.
We are apt to spend too much money on frivolous purchases or to overlook
important details as Mercury at 13Gemini opposes Jupiter at 13Sagittarius.
We enjoy optimistic feelings, but we should be careful not to become too
cocky by relying only on our luck or we may be disappointed.
<< Saturday 13 May >>
Avoid indulgences and self-pity today as Venus at 26Aries squares Neptune at
26Capricorn. Beware of being swept into depression and emotional confusion.
Watch the road carefully, don't daydream while driving.
We enjoy an orderly state of mind and self-discipline which is excellent
for energetic and constructive work as the Sun at 22Taurus sextiles Saturn
at 22Pisces. This aspect confers constructive ambition, good organization,
and a mature attitude. This is a very favorable time for important
communications with those in power. We are likely to make steady progress
toward goals, and enjoy an enhanced sense of dignity. Some initiative and
patience may be required in order to reap the benefits of this aspect.
--------------------
Moon's Third Quarter : Sunday 14 May - Sunday 21 May
--------------------
<< Sunday 14 May >>
The Moon is full this afternoon with the Moon at 23Scorpio opposing the
Sun at 23Taurus. This fixed sign full moon may pit equal and opposite
forces against each other, and both sides may be too stubborn to back down.
Try to go with the flow, and eat a bit of crow if required.
<< Tuesday 16 May >>
Psychic energy is heightened today as the Sun at 26Taurus trines Neptune
at 26Capricorn. There is great potential for creating tangible results using
our imagination. Insights may be practical, yet daydreaming is likely. This
aspect can create a powerful climate for positive action and long-term change.
Venus enters its own sign Taurus this evening for a stay until 10June.
This transit is a pleasant one, and the fixed sign influence can lend
stability to our love relationships. Artistry and love are viewed in a
more possesive and security-minded way, with a more practical and serious
approach. Practice, study, and earthy sensuality are favored.
<< Wednesday 17 May >>
We may seek excitement in love relationships as Venus at 00Taurus squares
Uranus at 00Aquarius. Patience is demanded, and Venus in Taurus may be
able to muster what is required. Don't flirt too much today or you may
provoke a major confrontation with someone you love. Try to keep a lid
on impulsive spending since the excitement of buying will pass long before
the bills are paid ;-}.
Events may happen quickly and catch us off guard today as the Sun at
27Taurus squares Mars at 27Leo. Since the aspect occurs in fixed signs,
stubbornness may contribute to impasses which lead to anger. Beware of
accidents and pay close attention while driving. Obstacles to self-
expression can generate frustration and anger, which could be compounded
by a tendency to hold grudges. Let your anger go. If you can regulate
this aggression, you can enjoy invigorating energy and willpower.
<< Saturday 20 May >>
Remain flexible today as the Sun at 29Taurus opposes Pluto at 29Scorpio.
This aspect may indicate trouble with friends, lovers or authority figures
due to stubborness and not allowing others to have their say. Secrets may
come out due to the ego and honesty of the Sun opposing the secrecy and
keep-everything-under-wraps attitude of Pluto in Scorpio. If you make the
mistake of making someone really angry today (by revealing their secrets!?!),
then they may remember it for a very long time.
---------------------
Moon's Fourth Quarter : Sunday 21 May - Monday 29 May
---------------------
<< Sunday 21 May >>
The Sun transitions from Taurus (fixed earth) to Gemini (mutable air) today
for a stay until 21June, ushering in the mutable or changable portion of the
Spring season. The following chart highlights this sun-sign transition.
Taurus Gemini
---------- ----------
Duality Feminine Masculine
Element Earth Air
Quality Fixed Mutable
Keyword 'I Have' 'I Think'
Polarity Scorpio Sagittarius
Body Parts Neck,Throat Hands,Arms,Lungs
Animals Cattle Bright birds, butterflies
The Sun in Gemini indicates a more mental and somewhat scattered energy which
is expressed through the communication of ideas, compared to the stable and
grounded energy associated with the Sun in Taurus. Gemini is known for
superficiality, but also for intellect, wit, charm, and twins.
Intuitive, original, and eccentric actions are encouraged today as the Sun
at 00Gemini trines Uranus at 00Aquarius. We are likely to express a strong
desire for independence. Practical science and electronics are favored.
<< Tuesday 23 May >>
This is a challenging time for creatively transforming the world around us as
Mars at 29Leo squares Pluto at 29Scorpio. Power struggles and disagreements
may ensue. Energy levels are high and this aspect arouses ambition, but be
careful of arousing opposition in the people you confront, because it may be
fierce. Don't act ruthlessly or underhandedly toward others no matter how
angry you become. Avoid dangerous places and activities.
<< Wednesday 24 May >>
Today we enter a mentally blas� period as Mercury at 18Gemini turns
retrograde until 17June. When Mercury turns retrograde our communication
faculties slow down, we become more reflective, and communications in general
falter. This does not have to be such a negative period so long as you don't
try to push..push..push everything to completion. Try to allow extra time,
and be content to let things happen at their own pace. You definitely don't
want a tight schedule when Mercury is retrograde, so try to get as many
lingering responsibilities as possible resolved before today.
<< Thursday 25 May >>
Mars enters Virgo today for a stay until 21July. Physical or male-
oriented aggressive energies (Mars) will be more favorably expressed when
directed towards service to others or attention to detail (Virgo).
Practicality, prudence and thoroughness are required. People are apt to
be a bit nervous and high-strung during this transit.
The next new Moon occurs in Gemini on May 29th. Until then ... establish
your personal stability through Taurean influences, and accomplish as many
of the critical tasks as possible before Mercury turns retrograde.

Astrology Watch Highlights
==========================
The new moon in Gemini (mutable air) on 09Jun provides opportunities to
develop objectivity and to engage in stimulating communications. Gemini
is ruled by Mercury which enhances our spoken, written, and acted expressions,
and can stimulate travel.
As a mutable sign, Gemini energies fluctuate; and as an air sign energy is
expressed through ideas or communications (air) rather than emotions (water),
actions (fire), or things (earth). Using Gemini influences we can enjoy
objectivity, flexibility, versatility and wit. Guard against becoming too
nervous and edgy, or too talkative when there is little of substance to say.
To maximize growth during this new moon cycle we should stress honesty, and
encourage ourselves and others to talk about our feelings and sensitivities.
Mercury is in retrograde motion at the start of this Moon cycle, so try to
lay low in areas which require active and sensitive communications until
Mercury turns direct on 17June (or a bit longer).
--------------------
Moon's First Quarter : Monday 29 May - Tuesday 06 June
--------------------
<< Monday 29 May >>
We should beware of dramatic overspending on purely ego-gratifying pursuits
today as the Sun at 10Gemini opposes Jupiter at 10Sagittarius. The effects of
this opposition are hard to resist (so maybe you can afford to pamper yourself
just a little bit ;-}) but if unchecked, this energy can result in a wasted
day of extravagance and exaggeration. If we don't overdo it then it should
be fun!
<< Tuesday 06 June >>
There is apt to be alot of active and witty communications today as the Sun
conjuncts Mercury at 14Gemini. Interactions may be superficial, but should
be fun, light, charming, and flirtatious. The influences are excellent for
starting new projects, especially if they pertain to mass communications or
involve short trips. We may also enjoy a touch of self-confident optimism.
We may be able to bring a new sense of structure and order to broken
relationships as Venus at 24Taurus sextiles Saturn at 24Pisces. This is
an excellent time to sit down and arrive at a conscious understanding of
what each person expects from the other in a relationship. Venus sextile
Saturn favors tasks requiring thoroughness and attention to detail.
---------------------
Moon's Second Quarter : Tuesday 06 June - Tuesday 13 June
---------------------
<< Tuesday 06 June >>
Creative expression inspired by dreams is favored today as Venus at
25Taurus trines Neptune at 25Capricorn. Warm compassion and highly
idealistic love can combine to create a misty romantic atmosphere.
<< Thursday 08 June >>
Uranus retrogrades from Aquarius back into Capricorn today until it re-enters
Aquarius for good at the beginning of next year. This final transit through
Capricorn signifies the final shakeup of the foundations of our established
societal systems in preparation for the establishment of more innovative and
more humanistic systems over the coming years (Uranus will be in Aquarius for
about 7 years).
<< Friday 09 June >>
The challenge today is to transform romantic inspirations into a more
stable form as Venus at 28Taurus opposes Pluto at 28Scorpio. This opposition
can lead to excessive jealousy, controlling of others, or allowing others to
control you. The stubbornness inherent in this opposition in fixed signs
suggests wisdom in the avoidance of head-to-head conflict today.
<< Saturday 10 June >>
Exciting new love interests may arise today as Venus at 29Taurus trines
Uranus at 29Capricorn. Science or art may figure in the excitement.
We will feel a shift in our values and relationships as Venus enters Gemini
for a stay until 05Jul. During this transit we will tend to place more
value on ideas and intellectual pursuits. We are interested in establishing
friendships, but will stay somewhat on the surface instead of getting deeply
involved. Conversation can be witty, and generally interpersonal relations
are lighter and more enjoyable. Our values are changeable, and we are
flexible enough to change our viewpoints. This applies to our love life too
as Venus in Gemini can be associated with multiple or fickle love interests.
--------------------
Moon's Third Quarter : Tuesday 13 June - Monday 19 June
--------------------
<< Tuesday 13 June >>
The Moon is full today with the Moon at 21Sagittarius opposing the Sun at
21Gemini. This should be an active and fun full Moon,although possibly a
bit manic. Be careful not to talk without considering how it will be
received, and don't get in over your head with your flirtations. Other than
that, enjoy the heightened activity level, and have fun.
We may be confronted with challenges today as Mars at 09Virgo squares
Jupiter at 09Sagittarius. These challenges are likely to be a result of
the overexpansion of our desires, or expansion into areas which are not
productive. We may move ahead too fast and thereby miss some important
things which could lead us into accidents. The overexpansion could also be
of the ego, leading to an over-competitive attitude. Be cautious, and try
to relax and let it ride instead of pushing it to the limit.
<< Wednesday 15 June >>
Touchy challenges in communications and small disagreements in relationships
may erupt into arguments as Mercury at 10LGemini squares Mars at 10Virgo.
Rather prudish and organized Mars in Virgo may encounter conflicts when
confronted with the flirtations and scattered ideas of Mercury in Gemini.
Our egos may be impeded or our energies may be worn down today as the Sun
at 24Gemini squares Saturn at 24Pisces. Any issues we force are likely to
result in equal force opposition. Try to remain low-key to avoid the
negative expressions of this aspect.
<< Saturday 17 June >>
Mercury at 10Gemini turns to direct motion today which will gradually
allow communications to flow more smoothly, and will reduce the effects
of distractive interruptions.
Indulgence, exaggeration, and wasted time are likely today as Venus at
08Gemini opposes Jupiter retrograde at 08Sagittarius. It is likely to be very
indulgent, but we deserve a bit of indulgence today ;-}. Since both planets
are benefic, this opposition aspect is only slightly troublesome, and may in
fact be rather enjoyable. The opposition merely indicates some potentially
unchecked expansiveness or impulsiveness.
<< Sunday 18 June >>
Communication within relationships is accentuated today as Mercury conjuncts
Venus at 10Gemini. With both planets in Gemini we may find it very difficult
to commit to long-term relationships at this time. However, very active
communications may allow us to recognize and comment on misunderstandings
in our own thinking processes which have affected our relationships.
Flirtations will be at an all-time high, so respond to a wink with a smile ;-}
but don't expect long term affectional commitments.
---------------------
Moon's Fourth Quarter : Monday 19 June - Tuesday 27 June
---------------------
<< Wednesday 21 June >>
We may be prone to either sensitive (Venus) or sharp (Mars) overreactions
today as Venus at 13Gemini squares Mars at 13Virgo. We may oscillate
irregularly between mental aggression and conciliatory self-pity, and may
be prone to get involved in fights or, more aptly, spats. Mellow out ...
The Sun transitions from Gemini to Cancer today until 23July, initiating the
active portion of the Summer season. This marks the the Summer Solstice, when
the Sun reaches its Northernmost apparent angle of declination, and shines for
the longest daylight period of the year (in the Northern Hemisphere). The
following chart highlights this sun-sign transition.

The Sun in Cancer indicates an active emotional and often moody energy which
is expressed through feelings, as compared to the mental and scattered energy
associated with the Sun in Gemini. Cancer is known for sensitivity, concern
over home and family, nurturing, dependence, and martyrdom.
<< Tuesday 27 June >>
We nmay gain valuable insights into our own personal foundations and sense of
responsibility today as Saturn at 25Scorpio sextiles Neptune at 25Capricorn.
We may identify practical new methods of responding to emotional commitments,
or of managing guilt or other troublesome emotions.
The next new Moon occurs in Cancer on June 27th. Until then, keep your
communications with your friends and family open and lively (Gemini), but
don't expect to fully resolve any significant issues or ideas until after
Mercury turns direct on June 17.

Astrology Watch Highlights
==========================
The new moon on 27June in Cancer energizes our home environment and
emphasizes emotional and family issues. Cancer also encourages the
fertility and germination of our ideas and goals. Cancer enjoys a
hearty meal fully, although rich foods may overstay their welcome and
be retained as a bit of extra weight around the belly.
Cancer is ruled by the Moon and accentuates sensitive feelings, mother,
home and family. Cancer tends to have a soft emotional under-belly, so
while nurturing of others is enhanced, we should also nurture ourselves
and our own emotional roots during this moon cycle. With career struggles
affecting us from Capricorn planets, self-nurturing is more valuable now.
As a cardinal sign, Cancer energies are in motion; and as a water sign the
energy is expressed through emotions (water) rather that through ideas (air),
actions (fire), or things (earth). Using Cancer influences, we can improve
home and family conditions, and open up our inner feelings. We should guard
against becoming too moody or withdrawing into a protective crab-like shell.
To maximize growth during this new moon cycle we should emphasize family
matters, nurture loved ones (including ourselves!), and start simply enjoying
ourselves more as the Sun enters Leo (try cooking up a suntan ;-}).
--------------------
Moon's First Quarter : Tuesday 27 June - Tuesday 04 July
--------------------
<< Thursday 27 June >>
We may gain valuable insights into our own personal foundations and sense of
responsibility today as Saturn at 25Pisces sextiles Neptune at 25Capricorn.
We may identify practical new methods of responding to emotional commitments,
or of managing guilt or other troublesome emotions.
<< Friday 30 June >>
We may be able to bring a new sense of structure and order to broken
relationships as Venus at 25Gemini squares Saturn at 25Pisces. This can
be an appropriate time to sit down and arrive at a conscious understanding
of what each person expects from the other in a relationship. We may feel
a burden of responsibility which requires significant effort on our part.
<< Monday 3 July >>
Touchy challenges in communications and small disagreements in relationships
may erupt into arguments as Mercury at 20Gemini squares Mars at 20Virgo.
Rather prudish and organized Mars in Virgo may encounter conflicts when
confronted with the flirtations and scattered ideas of Mercury in Gemini.
---------------------
Moon's Second Quarter : Wednesday 05 July - Wednesday 12 July
---------------------
<< Wednesday 5 July >>
Emotional issues will come to the fore as Venus enters Cancer for a stay
until 22August. During this transit higher value is placed on relationships,
emotions, feminine issues, concerns with mother, caring, and nurturing.
We are apt to feel more affectionate, and to require affection more often.
We may become possessive or clinging in love relationships and friendships
(those crab's claws can grab and hold for a long time :-}). We can enjoy
home-cooked food and things which make our home cozy and comfortable.
<< Tuesday 6 July >>
This morning Saturn at 25Pisces turns retrograde until 21November. This
can cause inner doubts regarding one's sense of worth, and we may have some
difficulty expressing ourselves in groups due to introversion. However,
during this period of inner reconsolidation we can create a new foundation
for future personal growth.
<< Friday 7 July >>
Our mental ideas and thinking patterns may face obstructions which can lead
us into a depressive turn of mind today as Mercury at 25Gemini squares Saturn
at 25Pisces. Travel arrangements may also face some snags, and we may
just feel generally down in the dumps.
<< Monday 10 July >>
We may find our communications miss the mark a bit (like a brief Mercury
retrograde period) as Mercury transits from Gemini to Cancer, where it will
stay until 25July. With Mercury in Cancer our thoughts will be strongly
affected by emotions. We are apt to have clouded communications which are
highly subjective, yet we can be very empathetic and nurturing.
<< Tuesday 11 July >>
Our intuitive and imaginative faculties will be stimulated today as Mars at
24Virgo trines Neptune at 24Capricorn. At this time, we are more likely to
understand what has to be done and how to go about doing it. We can
experience harmony through the expression of deeper desires. This aspect is
excellent for energetic expression of creativity through performings arts,
dancing, or spiritual healing.
--------------------
Moon's Third Quarter : Wednesday 12 July - Wednesday 19 July
--------------------
<< Wednesday 12 July >>
The Moon is full today with the Moon at 19Capricorn opposing the Sun at
19Cancer. This is likely to bring all recent emotional issues and home/work
conflicts to a head with potential for final resolution over the next several
days.
We may feel frustration concerning the pursuit of our ambitions, and our
aggressive energies may be restricted today as Mars at 25Virgo opposes Saturn
at 25Pisces. We may feel tired and run-down, so take good care of yourself.
<< Monday 17 July >>
Confusion and uncertainty accompanied by a fear of self-assertion may
overwhelm us as the Sun at 24Cancer opposes Neptune at 24Capricorn. Avoid
playing the victim or martyr today, but instead reflect on your self. This
aspect can yield powerful insights and artistic initiative, but be sure to
check back with reality to verify that the insights are feasible to pursue.
We may heartily enjoy a lazy daydream today ;-}
Gains may be achieved through hard and disciplined work today as the Sun at
25Cancer trines Saturn at 25Pisces. This is a serious day for getting much
work accomplished and fulfilling obligations, especially emotional ones.
There is a possibility for powerful actions to effectively reform or
regenerate things today as Mars at 28Virgo sextiles Pluto at 28Scorpio.
Any reorganization changes made now may be irreversible. We may feel that
our goals are sublime and our actions are somehow preordained. There are
deep emotions at work here, and they may find expression in profound sexual
experiences. We may feel great strength both physically and emotionally,
although with the sextile aspect we may have to initiate some action on our
own volition in order to get the juices flowing.
<< Tuesday 18 July >>
We may be motivated to provide physical energy and work to act on our ideas
as Mars at 28Virgo trines Uranus at 28Capricorn. We may experience impulsive
and explosive urges, so try to channel aggressiveness into constructive
pursuits. Mars trine Uranus indicates that we may be motivated to provide
physical energy and work to implement ideas. This aspect can indicate
innovative or erratic actions, or unforeseen breakthroughs in scientific
endeavors. Also, this aspect is exemplified by stubborn willpower, courage,
unique accomplishments, and nervous energies. This may be your day to
be a hero ;-}.
---------------------
Moon's Fourth Quarter : Wednesday 19 July - Thursday 27 July
---------------------
<< Thursday 20 July >>
Communication within relationships is accentuated today as Mercury conjuncts
Venus at 20Cancer. In Cancer this aspect may allow more communication
concerning heartfelt emotional attachments. Guard against becoming overcome
by your own sensitivities to the point where everything you hear from anyone
is clouded by a hypersensitive emotional filter which takes offense at even
the hint of criticism.
We will find extra stamina and will-power today in our efforts to reform
ourselves or others as the Sun at 28Cancer trines Pluto at 28Scorpio.
Much positive restructuring energy is activated by this aspect, which may
also be expressed as intense or profound sexuality. This aspect can lead
to reforms of our use of power, but it may require some closely held yet
unnecessary aspects of ourselves to fall away.
<< Friday 21 July >>
Mars enters Libra tonight for a stay until 07September. During this transit
there may be conflicts with neighbors or relatives, yet there is great
potential for cooperative energies to accomplish a great deal. People may
identify too strongly with their beliefs, and simple disagreement may be
interpreted as a challenge to personal beliefs. People may tend to be
argumentative, so be careful not to get involved in pointless arguments.
This can be a good time to "sell" new ideas, so long as you don't attack
others with them, and an excellent time for vigorous and diligent mental work.
Be careful today and keep a watch out for accidents as the Sun at 28Cancer
opposes Uranus at 28Capricorn. This aspect can bring restlessness and
surprising events. Business activities (Capricorn) may undergo radical
revisions. A conflict between home life (Cancer) and career ambitions
(Capricorn) could shock us into action.
<< Saturday 22 July >>
We may encounter disillusionment and hazy thinking as Mercury at 24Cancer
opposes Neptune at 24Capricorn. This can be great for creative endeavors
and imaginative work, but try not to daydream too much or your insights may
never see the light of our concensus reality :-}.
<< Sunday 23 July >>
The Sun transitions from Cancer to Leo this morning, where it will stay
until 23August. This is the Sun's natural sign (Sun rules Leo) and is thus
the highlight of the year for the expression of ego and personality (Sun).
This can lead to a regal/royal and potentially arrogant attitude, yet it does
not hold quite so much egotism as it sounds since Leo also imparts great
generosity, playfulness, and affection towards children. The following
chart highlights this sun-sign transition.
Cancer Leo
---------- ----------
Duality Feminine Masculine
Element Water Fire
Quality Cardinal Fixed
Planet Moon Sun
Keyword 'I Feel' 'I Will'

Body Parts Breast,stomach Back,heart
Practical and responsible thought patterns are enhanced today as Mercury at
24Cancer trines Saturn at 24Pisces. Our powers of concentration and self-
control are increased, but overtaxing our brains could lead to depression.
<< Monday 24 July >>
We are likely to be in a bit of a fog today with confusion and deception
over our relationships as Venus at 24Cancer opposes Neptune at 24Capricorn.
Try not to be too idealistic, or to become lost in daydreams or drugs.
Psychic faculties are heightened, but impressions may be hazy or we may fool
ourselves by coloring our impressions with what we WANT to see. We may thus
be deceived by a friend or lover. We enjoy romance, but it may not be real.
We may be struck by some highly penetrating and profound ideas as Mercury at
28Cancer trines Pluto at 28Scorpio. This is an excellent day for inventions
and discoveries. It also favors long range planning and insightful thoughts
of future reforms or changes.
We may become mentally stimulated handling conflicting interests of home
and work as Mercury at 28Cancer opposes Uranus at 28Capricorn. This can
be an erratic mental period, but do not oppose suggested changes outright.
Consider and adopt new ideas in the home or at work. We may wonder if we
are going a bit crazy today, but don't worry ... everybody is :-)
<< Tuesday 25 July >>
We can gain inner strength with personal relationships today as Venus at
24Cancer trines Saturn at 24Pisces. Friendships and love relationships can
gain mental stability on a more secure and honest communicative foundation.
We may feel more willing and able to make significant interpersonal
commitments today. Cancer and Piscean influences can impart emotional
sensitivity to otherwise serious discussions.
We may have a few communications lapses as Mercury enters Leo for a stay
until 09August. During this Mercury transit we can develop a more creative
mental outlook and more dramatic expression of our ideas. Guard against a
tendency to be over-opinionated or arrogant.
<< Wednesday 26 July >>
Get off of your butt and stretch your muscles today as the Sun at 04Leo
sextiles Mars at 04Libra. This sextile is favorable for almost any action-
oriented or athletic activity. We may enjoy short trips and communications.
We are likely to be in a self-assertive mood, and physical activity and
healthy food can strengthen our constitution.
<< Thursday 27 July >>
Action-oriented communications and travel are favored today as Mercury at
04Leo sextiles Mars at 04Libra. It may be a good day to head to the beach.
Our emotional expressions will be intense and profound as Venus at 28Cancer
trines Pluto at 28Scorpio. Meetings with new people may feel pre-ordained,
and could result in intense and sexual relationships. New insights into the
workings behind the scenes of relationships should be carefully listened to.
There is apt to be a lot of dynamic talking about how great we are as the
Sun conjuncts Mercury at 04Leo. The influences are excellent for leisure,
drama, luxury, or passion. Our dynamism and leadership qualities may shine
through.
The next new Moon occurs in Leo on July 27th. Until then, ... nurture
your gardens and your selves, and take care of home and family issues now
to free yourself up for the Leo summer fun which is just around the corner.

Astrology Watch Highlights
==========================
The new moon on 27July in Leo (fixed, fire) provides an opportunity
to really have some summer fun. This sign relates to the 5th house (Leo)
activities of partying, appreciation of pleasures, affection towards
children, and also imparts a generous attitude. Leo is ruled by the Sun
so there is involvement of the personality/ego with potential for excessive
vanity. Sun-worshippers are in their element and male energies are
emphasized. Leo is fun-loving and playful, but be careful not to tease
the lion or it may turn stubbornly against you.
As a fixed sign, Leo energies are stable; and as a fire sign the energy is
expressed through actions (fire) rather than through ideas (air), emotions
(water), or things (earth). As a Fixed sign, Leo energies are stable yet may
be stubborn. Using Leo influences, we can enjoy vacations and recreational
activities, play with our children, and express ourselves with ease and pride.
You should guard against too much drama, self-importance, exaggeration or
boasting. To maximize growth during this moon cycle enjoy love affairs,
play, have fun, and shine, shine, shine ;-}.
--------------------
Moon's First Quarter : Thursday 27 July - Thursday 3 April
--------------------
<< Thursday 27 July >>
Action-oriented communications and travel are favored today as Mercury at
04Leo sextiles Mars at 04Libra. It may be a good day to head to the beach.
Our emotional expressions will be intense and profound as Venus at 28Cancer
trines Pluto at 28Scorpio. Meetings with new people may feel pre-ordained,
and could result in intense and sexual relationships. New insights into the
workings behind the scenes of relationships should be carefully listened to.
There is apt to be a lot of dynamic talking about how great we are as the
Sun conjuncts Mercury at 05Leo. The influences are excellent for leisure,
drama, luxury, or passion. Our dynamism and leadership qualities may shine
through.
<< Friday 28 July >>
Conflicts between our need for love versus our need for freedom are
highlighted today as Venus at 28Cancer opposes Uranus at 28Capricorn.
We may feel a need for intimacy and closeness, but also a fear of being
smothered. This aspect can be very confusing for love relationships, and
may lead to an abrupt ending of an existing relationship, or to an exciting
beginning of a new relationship (which is unfortunately not likely to last
long). The effects of this aspect may manifest as conflicts between home
life (Cancer) and career ambitions (Capricorn).
Our mental outlook is looking up today with optimistic viewpoints as Mercury
at 06Leo trines Jupiter at 06Sagittarius. This aspect may be accompanied by
job opportunities for interesting and rewarding work, or promotions. At this
time communications are smooth and philosophically minded. We demonstrate a
good balance between attention to detail versus grasp of the comprehensive
view. Emotional disturbances may improve through relaxation or exercise.
This aspect is favorable for study, writing, teaching, interacting with the
communications media, or travel related to philosophy, religion, or education.
This should be an optimistic and happy day or two as the Sun at 06Leo
trines Jupiter at 06Sagittarius. With both in Fire signs our activity level
may get quite a boost. With Jupiter currently in the final stages of
retrograde motion (at a stand-still) we may end up a bit over-extended, but
we should still take this aspect and run with it! Throw a party, or at least
attend one. This aspect is also favorable for completing home renovations
which never quite got finished.
<< Saturday 29 July >>
Venus enters Leo today for a stay until 22August. This transit confers
loyalty and generosity to lovers and friends, love of children, being in
love with love, and a passionate nature. We may become over-dramatic or
egotistical, may overspend on luxury items, and may become overly concerned
with our own personal beauty (can you say v-a-n-i-t-y? ;-}). However, people
will be generally friendly and out for a good time. This is a great party
transit, and people will be ready to party, so throw a decadent party and
invite everyone you know!!
<< Sunday 30 July >>
We should try to expand our abilities to satisfy our desires today as Mars
at 06Libra sextiles Jupiter at 06Sagittarius. We may find that luck is with
us if we expend the effort to try. This aspect is excellent for positive and
optimistic action on new projects.
<< Wednesday 2 August >>
Jupiter at 06Sagittarius returns to direct motion today, ushering in a more
expansive and optimistic phase in the development of our philosophies and
attitudes. This aspect will take a week or so to get going, but will be
conducive to the initiation of new relationships, or mending of old ones.
Justice and fairness will prevail.
---------------------
Moon's Second Quarter : Thursday 3 August - Thursday 10 August
---------------------
<< Thursday 3 August >>
We may become romantically inclined today as Venus at 06Leo trines
Jupiter at 06Sagittarius ... one of the most positive astrological aspects.
This aspect could enable us to break free of restrictive influences and
construct a new foundation for our affectional interests. Venus trine
Jupiter is also excellent for a bit of redecorating around the home or office.
Artistic endeavors involving music or art are likely to give you pleasure and
turn out well due to the great creative potential. This is a time when we may
finally receive deserved rewards which were previously earned, and when we are
likely to demonstrate more benevolence toward others.
<< Sunday 06 August >>
We can easily communicate our feelings to others today as Venus at 09Leo
sextiles Mars at 09Libra. This aspect may lead to pleasant and romantic
experiences which may be based upon regal Leo extravagances.
<< Monday 7 August >>
We are provided with opportunities to awaken and transform our personal
religious and philosophical freedom as Uranus at 28Capricorn sextiles Pluto
at 28Scorpio. This aspect is active throughout this year, and is exact
today in retrograde motion. This aspect can provide an unyielding focus on
innovation, and an increased clarity of purpose. Attempt to direct your
energies toward longer range goals which are worth achieving, and keep an
open mind for potentially unexpected solutions to current problems.
<< Tuesday 8 August >>
The first of the retrograde outer planets gradually shifts its emphasis from
the internalized energies to an externalized expression today as Pluto turns
from retrograde to direct motion at 28Scorpio. Far-reaching Pluto reforms
which have been in the works for some time may take shape soon, and may shake
us up if we are not prepared to leave unnecessary attachments behind.
Our manner of communicating to ourselves and others may undergo challenges
later today as Mercury at 28Leo squares Pluto at 28Scorpio. These challenges
may be severe enough to divert us to a new way of thinking about ourselves
and of communicating to others. Powerful and forceful communications may
be expressed, and with both planets in fixed signs neither side is likely
to budge. Our best bet is to accept any criticism from others with a calm
and listening ear, and then use the feedback to modify our attitudes and
behaviors. While this sounds good, it may not be so easy to accomplish today.
<< Wednesday 9 August >>
Mercury enters Virgo today for a stay until 28August. With Mercury
in Virgo our thoughts turn to details and practical concerns. Our mental
resources are well developed since Mercury rules Virgo. Projects can be well
planned with thorough attention to all phases, yet a rather conservative
approach will probably be adopted.
--------------------
Moon's Third Quarter : Thursday 10 August - Thursday 17 August
--------------------
<< Thursday 10 August >>
The Moon is full today at 17Aquarius opposed to the Sun at 178Leo. This full
Moon in fixed signs may make us very sure of ourselves, quite independently
of how right we actually are. If we avoid entrenching ourselves in stubborn
attitudes, and allow for the possibility that we may not know everything worth
knowing, then we should be able to have a fun time with a party atmosphere.
<< Sunday 13 August >>
We can bolster optimistic attitudes towards long-range goals today as Mercury
at 06Virgo squares Jupiter at 06Sagittarius. This aspect can be favorable,
and at this time we may grasp the whole picture and think in big, ideal,
abstract terms. We may be sloppy with details, however, and may be inclined
to overlook important details which conflict with larger plans.
---------------------
Moon's Fourth Quarter : Thursday 17 August - Saturday 26 August
---------------------
<< Thursday 17 August >>
We may gain valuable insights into our own personal foundations and sense of
responsibility today as Saturn at 23Pisces sextiles Neptune at 23Capricorn.
We may identify practical new methods of responding to emotional commitments,
<< Sunday 20 August >>
As the Sun conjuncts with Venus at 27Leo we are likely to feel good in a
party sort of way. We may express more generosity and affection, and our
relationships are likely to reflect that. Our tastes will run headlong
toward the extravagant, and a life of luxury would suit us fine today ;-}.
<< Monday 21 August >>
Relationships may be upset by fixed attitudes and stubborn behavior today
as Venus at 28Leo squares Pluto at 28Scorpio. Past secrets may surface.
Pride may have to be swallowed in order to maintain key relationships.
Power clashes with those in authority may arise today as the Sun at 28Leo
squares Pluto at 28Scorpio. With the Sun in Leo it is likely that a matter
of pride or principle could initiate a power clash. Watch your temper and
hold your sharp tongue today.
<< Tuesday 22 August >>
Venus enters Virgo today for a stay until 16September. During this transit
we can become very discriminating, especially in the analysis of love feelings
and of partner's shortfalls. Try not to over-analyze romance or to constrain
relationships to follow prescribed guidelines. Avoid becoming nit-picky.
<< Wednesday 23 August >>
The Sun transitions from Leo to Virgo today for a stay until 23September.
This will signify the entrance into the adaptable (mutable) portion of the
summer season, and the Virgo emphasis will redirect our efforts towards
service, work, and health issues. With the Sun in Virgo people are likely
to be meticulous (especially about cleanliness), practical, and analytical
with a tendency towards nit-picking criticality, yet this is an excellent
time to pursue tasks which require extreme attention to detail. The
following chart highlights this sun-sign transition.

---------- ----------
Duality Masculine Feminine

Some difficult communications and a depressing mental outlook could be in
store for us as Mercury at 23Virgo opposes Saturn at 23Pisces. Plans which
are set up now may not be stable or well-grounded.
<< Thursday 24 August >>
We may be elevated by a dose of sublime inspiration today as Mercury at
23Virgo trines Neptune at 23Capricorn. Our ideas may turn toward art,
dreams, or spiritual pursuits. Thoughts are sensitive and flow smoothly.
Artists may find inspiration, but those working with facts and figures may
find them a bit muddled.
The next new Moon occurs in Virgo on August 26th. Until then ...
enjoy some Leo parties, and begin an exciting new wave of expansion
as Jupiter turns direct in wild and crazy Sagittarius.

Astrology Watch Highlights
==========================
The new moon on 26August in Virgo (mutable,earth) provides an opportunity
to clean up any messes which have been piling up. Virgo relates to the 6th
house activities of work, service, health/hygiene, and attention to detail.
Virgo is ruled by Mercury, which influences our thinking patterns. Virgo is
an earth sign, however, so the thoughts are applied in a logical and organized
manner. As a mutable sign Virgo influences are adaptable, but can become
very critical and nit-picky, and tend to classify things as black or white.
--------------------
Moon's First Quarter : Saturday 26 August - Saturday 2 September
--------------------
<< Saturday 26 August >>
We may feel bright and alert today as Mercury at 27Virgo trines Uranus at
27Capricorn. We can generate ambitious new ideas relying upon conservative
ground-work, and some of our inventions or discoveries may be surprising or
even startling. Science and health discoveries are emphasized.
<< Sunday 27 August >>
Creative ideas could lead to reforms of long-term plans as Mercury at 28Virgo
sextiles Pluto at 28Scorpio. Travel itineraries are subject to revision.
Our energies may dissipate into a haze today as Mars at 23Libra squares
Neptune at 23Capricorn. This can lead to laziness, procrastination, or
even religious fanaticism. Our desires can be deluded so don't push them.
<< Monday 28 August >>
We needn't expect any serious problems as Venus at 06Virgo squares Jupiter
at 06Sagittarius, yet we may experience personal let-downs of an emotional
nature. This aspect may bring out cruder mannerisms lacking in social grace,
and we may procrastinate and waste time on unproductive pursuits.
Mercury enters Libra today for a stay until 04November. This particularly
long transit through Libra reflects an upcoming Mercury retrograde period
which occurs entirely within Libra. Mercury in Libra imparts an ability to
reason about issues and to see both sides clearly. For just this reason we
are apt to be indecisive or non-committal. Our thoughts turn towards keeping
the peace, and attempting to balance biased ideas with compassionate thoughts.
<< Wednesday 30 August >>
Mild personal problems arising from hypocrisy, extravagance, and inflated
self-importance are indicated today as the Sun at 07Virgo squares Jupiter
at 07Sagittarius. While the effects of this square are not severe, it can
lead to overexpansion, foolish optimism, and waste. We may feel a bit on the
slow side today, and just taking it easy may be the theme of the day. We have
a tendency to adhere to dogmatic views which may cause problems in romantic,
social, or business situations. Gambling is unwise at this time, and charity
may be tinged with a desire for personal recognition and praise. The
'antidote' for most of these negative expressions is to maintain a more
objective and philosophical perspective on issues which arise today.
---------------------
Moon's Second Quarter : Saturday 2 September - Friday 8 September
---------------------
<< Saturday 2 September >>
Be careful to avoid accidents with cars or sharp objects today as Mars at
27Libra squares Uranus at 27Capricorn.
<< Sunday 3 September >>
We can effectively initiate communications for expansive new projects as
Mercury at 07Libra sextiles Jupiter at 07Sagittarius. Favored are Sagittarian
projects involving higher education or philosophical pursuits, or Libran
activities in close relationships.
<< Thursday 7 September >>
Mars enters Scorpio (which it co-rules) today for a stay until 20October.
During this time our sexuality is highly stimulated, and has an intense and
transforming quality. Also during this transit our ego drives may create
confrontations with others which force some kind of transformation in our
lives. Potential conflicts may revolve around shared property or joint
finances.
--------------------
Moon's Third Quarter : Friday 8 September - Saturday 16 September
--------------------
<< Friday 8 September >>
The Moon is full tonight with the Moon at 16Pisces opposing the Sun at
16Virgo. Overcritical comments may result in bruised feelings. With
the full moon in mutable signs, we should be able to smooth things over,
yet with a bit of extra sensitivity to other's feelings today, we could
avoid the conflicts altogether.
<< Saturday 9 September >>
Our relationships may be fraught with struggles today as Venus at 22Virgo
opposes Saturn at 22Pisces. Through relationships we may be forced to face
aspects of ourselves that we would rather not acknowledge, and we should
avoid becoming engulfed in self-pity.
<< Sunday 10 September >>
Creative expression inspired by dreams is favored today as Venus at 23Virgo
trines Neptune at 23Capricorn. Warm compassion and highly idealistic love
can combine to create a misty romantic atmosphere.
<< Wednesday 13 September >>
Exciting new love interests may arise today as Venus at 27Virgo trines
Uranus at 27Capricorn. Science or art may figure in the excitement.
<< Thursday 14 September >>
A somber atmosphere may predominate today as the Sun at 21Virgo is
in opposition to Saturn at 21Pisces. Sun oppose Saturn can make
us conscious of limitations imposed by circumstance and responsibility.
It may be accompanied by a low energy level and an inability to communicate.
Plans which are set up now may not be well-grounded. We must balance our
needs against our obligations, and avoid wallowing in loneliness or despair.
Our love life or affective nature may undergo a somewhat radical yet
contructive reform as Venus at 28Virgo sextiles Pluto at 28Scorpio.
With Venus in Virgo this change may involve our health or work surroundings,
and with Pluto in Scorpio the reforms may be intense and sensual. As with
all sextile aspects we must take some initiative to make it happen.
---------------------
Moon's Fourth Quarter : Saturday 16 September - Sunday 24 September
---------------------
<< Saturday 16 September >>
Venus enters Libra today for a stay until 10October. Relationships,
fairness, sensitivity, and appreciation of beauty gain importance within our
personal sense of values. Since Venus rules Libra, a natural affinity is
expressed during this transit, and air sign influences promote many new ideas.
Psychic energy is heightened as the Sun at 23Virgo trines Neptune at
23Capricorn. There is increased potential for creating tangible results from
imagination. Daydreaming is likely, and insights may be of practical value.
<< Tuesday 19 September >>
Forceful changes may be enacted purposefully or may come by surprise today
as the Sun at 26Virgo trines Uranus at 26Capricorn. You may feel restricted
at work and want to break free. Health break-throughs are also possible.
<< Thursday 21 September >>
We get a potential energizer today as the Sun at 28Virgo sextiles Pluto at
28Scorpio. While this can impart relentless energy, it may be as a result of
circumstances which force us to exert our maximal efforts. Tasks which call
for nominal energy expenditures with little return may be disposed of in
deference to major efforts requiring destruction and regeneration.
<< Friday 22 September >>
Today we enter an internalized mental period as Mercury at 20Libra turns
retrograde until 13October. When Mercury turns retrograde our communication
faculties slow down, we become more reflective, and communications in general
falter. This does not have to be such a negative period so long as you don't
become upset when things don't go as you have planned, and you don't try to
rush things to completion. Allow extra time, and be content to let things
happen at their own pace. You definitely don't want a tight schedule when
Mercury is retrograde, so resolve lingering responsibilities before today.
<< Saturday 23 September >>
Today the Sun will transition from Virgo to Libra until 23October. This
signifies the entrance into the active (cardinal) initiating portion of the
fall season. This day is also called the Autumnal Equinox, and is a day
when daytime hours equal nighttime hours (12) all over the world. The Libra
emphasis will redirect our energies towards relationships. Libra is the
natural 7th house of complementary partners, and is ruled by Venus. Libra
is associated with balance in all forms. This is not a static balancing act,
however, but a dynamic oscillation which strives for a balanced equilibrium.
Libra can be very indecisive since both sides of an issue are fairly weighed.
Libra energy is very communicative, but may relinquish too much of one's self
in order to please someone else. This is an excellent time to work on your
relationships. The following chart highlights this sun-sign transition.

Duality Feminine Masculine

We can enjoy benevolent and peaceful feelings today as Venus at 09Libra
sextiles Jupiter at 09Sagittarius. This aspect can impart creative talent
and generous expression of affection. This may also be a good day to
initiate financial enterprises or real-estate transactions.
The next new Moon occurs in Libra on September 24th. Until then ...
organize the messy corners of your life using the predominant Earth sign
influences, and attempt to resolve any sticky issues prior to Mercury
turning retrograde on 22September.

Astrology Watch Highlights
==========================
The new moon on 24September at 01Libra (cardinal air) provides an opportunity
to mend relationships which may have become imbalanced. Libra relates to the
7th house concerns of relationships, partners, compromise and balance. Libra
is ruled by Venus, which relates to our expressions of love and our sense of
values. Libra is an air sign, however, so love is expressed through ideas and
communications, as opposed to more earthy and hedonistic love expressions
associated with the fixed earth sign Taurus (which is also ruled by Venus).
As a cardinal sign Libra energies actively engage in a balancing act which
results in a dynamic equilibrium as opposed to a static steady-state. Libra
energy can quickly identify fair compromises, yet Libra imparts an urge to
please and so may give away too much of 'self' in order to keep the peace.
To maximize the benefits of this moon cycle, address the sources of disharmony
in your relationships with compassion, yet be sure to save some for yourself.
--------------------
Moon's First Quarter : Sunday 24 September - Sunday 01 October
--------------------
<< Friday 29 September >>
Communication within relationships is accentuated today as Mercury conjuncts
Venus at 17Libra. In Libra this aspect may promote reconciliation within
relationships of all kinds, and with Mercury retrograde we may have built
up a few lingering issues which require reconciliation. We may be more
likely to comment on flaws and misunderstandings in our own thinking
processes instead of blaming others. This is typically a rather nice light
aspect. The retrograde character of Mercury may internalize these effects
but the influences should still retain their positive character.
---------------------
Moon's Second Quarter : Sunday 01 October - Sunday 08 October
---------------------
<< Wednesday 04 October >>
Avoid indulgences and self-pity today as Venus at 23Libra squares Neptune at
23Capricorn. Beware of being swept into depression and emotional confusion.
Watch the road carefully and don't daydream while driving.
Our ego drives will get energized as the Sun at 11Libra sextiles Jupiter
at 11Sagittarius. With a bit of internal bolstering we can become brimming
with boisterous self-confidence and optimism. This aspect can also bring
good luck, and things planned today should work out well. It is also a
good day for group participation activities or philosophical pursuits.
Today should be a talkative and social day as the Sun conjuncts Mercury at
11Libra. We are likely to entertain Libran thoughts of union, peace, joining
forces, beauty and aesthetics. Any disagreements or misunderstandings, of
which there may be several due to Mercury being retrograde, are likely to be
resolved in a peaceful manner.
Neptune at 23Capricorn officially turns direct today, though it will take
several days before the effects become evident. When Neptune turns direct
things which have been hidden for some time may now become openly known.
Also, the psychic character of Neptune initiates a new wave of individual
and group psychic development.
<< Thursday 05 October >>
We can effectively initiate communications for expansive new projects as
Mercury at 11Libra sextiles Jupiter at 11Sagittarius. Favored are
Libran projects involving balanced progress, or Sagittarian projects
forging ahead into uncharted territories. With Marcury retrograde, we
may wish to simply acknowledge the insight now, and initiate the project
when Mercury returns to this same aspect in a few weeks.
<< Friday 06 October >>
We are more likely to act in a responsible and self-controlled manner as
Mars at 20Scorpio trines Saturn at 20Pisces. This is an excellent time for
solid mental efforts towards short or long term goals. Our energies can be
effectively focussed and disciplined along with enhanced stamina to complete
difficult or boring tasks.
We end a period of internal assimilation of the forces of change as Uranus
turns to direct motion at 27Capricorn. Changes which may have been in the
works for some time may begin to demonstrate tangible external effects now.
<< Saturday 07 October >>
Interpersonal challenges may result today as Venus at 27Libra squares Uranus
at 27Capricorn. Try to avoid needlessly disrupting or startling friends or
partners over career or business restrictions. Unexpected events could occur
in relationships.
--------------------
Moon's Third Quarter : Sunday 08 October - Monday 16 October
--------------------
<< Sunday 08 October >>
The Moon is full today at 15Aries, opposing the Sun at 15Libra. While
we may be faced with reactions which are rash and over-animated, we should
be able to balance or absorb the angry expressions of others using
compassionate Libran communications. This full moon is also associated
with a Lunar Eclipse, so issues raised now may form the basis of our
internal Lunar growth for up to six months.
<< Tuesday 10 October >>
We may face a brief period of confusion about love interests and friendships
as Venus transitions from Libra to Scorpio for a stay until 03November. We
will be changing from a congenial and communicative concern with relationships
(Libra) to a deep and intense emotional concern with sex, death and rebirth
(Scorpio). Venus in Scorpio provides an opportunity to stabilize relationships
through deep emotional contact. Venus in Scorpio can be relentless and
unyielding, so this can be a very difficult time to break off a relationship.
Psychic sensitivities are heightened, and can be effectively utilized for
self-improvement. Strong feelings of destiny and fate may be associated with
relationships at this time. Infatuation with sex and death can be transcended
through considerations of the regenerative aspects of the death/rebirth cycle.
The old must die to make way for the new.
Our psychic energy is further stimulated today as Mars at 23Scorpio sextiles
Neptune at 23Capricorn. This aspect may spur changes which can lead to
excitement, and can heighten our intuition concerning our goals and drives.
<< Friday 13 October >>
Mercury at 05Libra turns to direct motion today which will gradually
allow communications to flow more smoothly, and will reduce the effects
of distractive interruptions.
<< Sunday 15 October >>
Unexpected events may cause either disruption or inspiration today as Mars
at 27Scorpio sextiles Uranus at 27Capricorn. Our desires may be surprisingly
fulfilled, and we could enjoy success with almost anything that we seriously
attempt. Watch out for the other guy while driving today.
---------------------
Moon's Fourth Quarter : Monday 16 October - Tuesday 24 October
---------------------
<< Monday 16 October >>
We may be in for challenges today resulting from delusion, dreaminess,
creativity, or dissipation of energies as the Sun at 23Libra squares Neptune
at 23Capricorn. This may inspire some to creative expression, and may instill
psychic content into relationships, yet it may also create delusional thinking
with respect to any practical or factual reality orientation. Drugs or other
escapist tendencies may be indulged.
<< Thursday 19 October >>
Intense emotional power surrounds us today as Mars conjuncts Pluto at
29Scorpio. Scorpio is ruled by Pluto, and Mars is a co-ruler, so this is a
very powerful and influential aspect. Some may abuse their power over others
in a forceful and dominating way, which will likely be met with resistance
and resentment. Sexual energies are incredibly potent now and may have a
profound transforming quality. Private personal matters may be difficult to
handle now since our sensitivity for others may be dwarfed by our power.
We gain satisfaction out of having and using power ... our challenge is to
use it creatively and in a manner which is not in conflict with others.
<< Friday 20 October >>
We should prepare for and beware of sudden upsets and disruptive situations
as the Sun at 27Libra squares Uranus at 27Capricorn. We desire to break
down our everyday routines today, yet we may end up taking foolhardy risks
to do so. Be extra careful today since we tend to be more accident prone.
Learn to go with the flow of disruptions, and avoid arguing or you could
make things worse.
Our free-wheeling spirit will be enhanced over the next couple of months as
Mars enters Sagittarius today. This transit is great for sports lovers, and
for those who are planning to travel. If you are traveling, keep your plans
flexible and allow ample time to simply wander. During this transit we
become more friendly, optimistic, enthusiastic, impulsive, and independent.
Physical outlets will likely be needed to expend our increased energy and
vitality.
<< Monday 23 October >>
The Sun transitions from Libra to Scorpio today for a stay until 22November.
This signifies our entrance into the stable (fixed) portion of the fall
season. Scorpio emphasis will redirect our efforts towards 8th house
concerns of sex, death with reformative rebirth, and joint finances.
An apt descriptive phrase for the fixed water sign Scorpio is "Still waters
run deep". The following chart highlights this sun-sign transition.
Libra Scorpio
---------- ----------
Duality Masculine Feminine
Element Air Water
Quality Cardinal Fixed
Planet Venus Pluto (co-ruler Mars)
Keyword 'I Balance' 'I Desire'
Polarity Aries Taurus
Body Parts Lower back Genitals
Animals Snakes, lizards Insects, crustaceans
The next new Moon occurs with a Solar Eclipse in Scorpio on October 24th.
Until then, be patient with yourselves and others until after Mercury turns
direct on 13October, then warm yourself up for initiating some new and
exciting exploration and activities beginning when Mars enters Sagittarius
on the 20th.

Astrology Watch Highlights
==========================
The new moon on 24October in the fixed water sign Scorpio provides an
opportunity to rebuild and stabilize our emotions. Scorpio is ruled by Pluto
(reform, rebirth, transformation) and relates to 8th house concerns of sex,
death with rebirth, and benefit from other people's money. As a fixed sign,
Scorpio energies are stable yet often stubborn and relentless, and thus as a
water sign it is associated with the most persistent and tenacious emotions.
As with other water signs Scorpio energies can be sensitive to insult, however
the negative form of reaction does not manifest as depression (Cancer) or
insecurity (Pisces) but rather may be harbored and expressed as fuming or
resentment. Scorpio is associated with the genitals and imparts strong
sensual/sexual overtones. Psychic faculties are sensitized.
Since Scorpio's ruler Pluto is currently at the conclusion of a transit
through Scorpio, all Scorpio/Pluto effects will be heightened during this
moon cycle. The way to maximize your growth during this new moon cycle is to
avoid clinging to your emotional baggage, and allow Pluto energies to destroy
all unnecessary emotional attachments of the past. Problems will arise if
you fight against Pluto's natural process of winnowing out obsolete emotional
attachments.
--------------------
Moon's First Quarter : Tuesday 24 October - Monday 30 October
--------------------
<< Tuesday 24 October >>
The new Moon in Scorpio today is associated with a Total Solar Eclipse, which
will retain influence for about six months until the next Solar Eclipse.
<< Wednesday 25 October >>
We can gain inner strength with personal relationships today as Venus at
18Scorpio trines Saturn at 18Pisces. Friendships and love relationships can
gain mental stability on a more secure and honest communicative foundation.
We may feel more willing and able to make significant interpersonal
commitments today. The influences of Scorpio and Pisces can impart a
strong emotional content to serious discussions.
We can effectively initiate communications for expansive new projects as
Mercury at 15Libra sextiles Jupiter at 15Sagittarius. Favored are Sagittarian
projects involving higher education or philosophical pursuits, or Libran
activities in close relationships.
<< Wednesday 28 October >>
Our creative and romantic imagination is aroused as Venus at 23Scorpio
sextiles Neptune at 23Capricorn. Our appreciation of beauty and our
sensitivity to the feelings of others are enhanced.
---------------------
Moon's Second Quarter : Monday 30 October - Tuesday 7 November
---------------------
<< Monday 30 October >>
Our practical thinking may become confused and deluded today as Mercury
at 23Libra squares Neptune at 23Capricorn. However, this influence can also
be especially fruitful for highly creative and intuitive thinking.
<< Tuesday 31 October >>
Exciting new love interests may arise today as Venus at 27Scorpio sextiles
Uranus at 27Capricorn. Science or art may figure in the excitement.
Relationships stemming from these encounters are likely to be mature and
responsible with a touch of prudishness, yet they can be embellished by
an intense and sensual emotional attraction.
<< Thursday 2 November >>
We should prepare for and beware of sudden upsets and disruptive
communications as Mercury at 27Libra squares Uranus at 27Capricorn.
Be extra careful today since we tend to be more accident prone.
Learn to go with the flow of disruptions, and avoid arguing in the
face of change. Allow for delays resulting from unexpected events.
There may be thunder and lightning expressed in communications relating
to business or partnerships. Through all of this we may be able to remain
talkative and sociable, however, and we are likely to entertain Libran
thoughts of union, peace, joining forces, beauty and aesthetics.
Disagreements or misunderstandings, of which there may be several today,
can probably be resolved in a peaceful manner.
Some intense and profound sexual impulses may be released today which could
reform our values and our concepts of love as Venus conjuncts Pluto at
29Scorpio. Pluto reforms may not be pleasant, but they can destroy all
outdated concepts to allow for a fresh phase of regeneration to start anew.
Love and relationship reforms may be initiated by the exposure of secrets.
<< Friday 3 November >>
We begin a period of elevated attitudes today, becoming more freedom-loving
and optimistic as Venus enters Sagittarius until 27November. The Sagittarian
influence provides a great time for parties and philosophical friendships,
but be careful since people may say what's on their mind with total disregard
for effects on others. Keep your mouth in check and you should have fun ;-}.
<< Saturday 4 November >>
Mercury enters fixed water sign Scorpio for a stay until 22November.
With Mercury in Scorpio our communications can become imbued with deep
emotion and steamy sensuality. Our mental position may be unwavering and
stubborn, and may be presented forcefully and relentlessly. During this time
we may become fascinated with thoughts of life after death or other occult
topics, and profound insights may be revealed. This transit is generally
favorable for joint financial resources.
--------------------
Moon's Third Quarter : Tuesday 7 November - Wednesday 15 November
--------------------
<< Tuesday 7 November >>
The Moon is full today with the Moon at 14Taurus opposing the Sun at
14Scorpio. This fixed-sign full moon may result in some bull-headed
stubborn behavior, so don't step in the bull*&!@...
<< Friday 10 November >>
After 11 years transiting through its own sign Pisces, Pluto makes its
second and final entry into Sagittarius today, initiating a new eleven year
sojourn. With Pluto in Sagittarius, various disconnected ideas may be
unified to form a more consistent and focussed conception. Interesting
developments may arise in religion or law, and main-stream religions will
likely be confronted with new information which could provoke significant
change. Historically, powerful individuals have come to the fore when Pluto
was in Sagittarius, imparting decisive leadership abilities and initiating
significant popular movements. While leaders themselves may (or may not)
hold well-balanced views, followers may approach their beliefs in a fanatical
manner. A further escalation of religious or legal confrontations may ensue,
with strong leaders on both sides. Conservative views are not likely to
prevail in the end, since Pluto's influence will tend to break down old
structures and replace them with a reformed core of beliefs upon which new
structures can be built.
Our work on our emotional stability may receive a boost as the Sun at
18Scorpio trines Saturn at 18Pisces. This can be a serious day for getting
much work accomplished and fulfilling the obligations of our emotional
commitments. Try to follow practical actions based upon careful planning.
Two celestial heavyweights are exactly aligned at cross-purposes today
with Jupiter at 18Sagittarius squaring Saturn at 18Pisces. This aspect is
active for up to a week before and after this day, and we may find ourselves
holding an insatiable desire to expand, explore, or spend. It would be
ill-advised to damn the torpedos and charge ahead right now, however, as we
may be set back sharply by those in authority, or possibly by our own sense
of responsibility or regret. However, if we move somewhat more slowly, with
cautious and measured progress (which is not what we would _prefer_ to do),
this aspect may provide us the benefit of added durability and longevity for
any expansion which we undertake in this manner. This may be easier to
accomplish today with help from the Sun trine Saturn aspect earlier today.
<< Tuesday 14 November >>
Our creative physical energies may be thwarted and pent up as Mars at
18Scorpio squares Saturn at 18Pisces. Our energies may be impeded or fizzle
out, and any forced issues are likely to result in equal force opposition.
We may feel that we are racing at 80mph with our brakes on full ;-}. We
should avoid any activity which subjects us to a high possibility for broken
bones. Try to remain low-key to avoid negative expressions of this aspect.
---------------------
Moon's Fourth Quarter : Wednesday 15 November - Wednesday 22 November
---------------------
<< Wednesday 15 November >>
Practical and responsible thought patterns are enhanced today as Mercury at
18Scorpio trines Saturn at 18Pisces. Our powers of concentration and self-
control are increased, but overtaxing our brains could lead to depression.
We may become mystical, meditative, and dreamy today as the Sun at 23Scorpio
sextiles Neptune at 23Capricorn. This aspect can make us very sensitive to
the situations of others. Our intuitive and creative faculties are stimulated,
and we can enjoy and appreciate art and beauty. We gain insights into the
workings of the sub-conscious mind, providing valuable material for productive
spiritual development. Romance tends toward the exotic now, so use your
wildest imagination... ;-}
We can tap into an abundance of optimism, self-confidence, and energy today
as Mars conjuncts Jupiter at 19Sagittarius. We should guard against becoming
so headstrong that we can not accept NO for an answer. Keep any bad news to
yourself today, because other people don't want to hear it ;-}
<< Friday 17 November >>
We may be able to bring a new sense of structure and order to broken
relationships as Venus at 18Sagittarius squares Saturn at 18Pisces. This can
indicate an excellent time to sit down and arrive at a conscious understanding
of what each person expects from the other in a relationship. We may feel
a burden of responsibility which requires significant effort on our part.
<< Saturday 18 November >>
Our perceptions will be keen as Mercury at 23Scorpio sextiles Neptune at
23Capricorn. This aspect stimulates a fertile imagination, and we may
become more than a bit dreamy. Creative writing is especially favored.
<< Sunday 19 November >>
One of the most favorable, although rather mild, astrological aspects also
occurs today as Venus conjuncts Jupiter at 20Sagittarius. This aspect can
confer optimism, benevolence, wit, and interpersonal grace. Our outlook on
relationships may take a wild swing for the better, and we should enjoy an
expansive emotional burst.
Practical new work-related discoveries or useful new inventions are possible
today as the Sun at 27Scorpio sextiles Uranus at 27Capricorn. This aspect
may bring some mild relief from recent tensions, and can encourage the
redirection of our efforts into exciting new areas.
<< Tuesday 21 November >>
Our mind is stimulated with quick intuitive and inventive thinking
as Mercury at 27Scorpio sextiles Uranus at 27Capricorn. Our original
dramatic expression is enhanced, and inventions or discoveries are
favored in electronics, science or engineering.
Saturn turns direct today at 18Pisces which should loosen up certain
restrictions which may have seemed log-jammed for quite some time.
This transition identifies the start of a period during which it is
more advisable to take on new and more far-reaching responsibilities.
As if we haven't had enough of Scorpio to last us for a while,
the next new moon is also in Scorpio on 22 November. Until then ...
wait for one more Moon cycle until Saturn turns direct before accepting
large new responsibilities, yet continue to forge ahead with deliberate
expansion into new and potentially exciting areas.

This new moon occurs at the final degree of Scorpio, on the cusp of entry
into Sagittarius, and is the second full moon in a row in Scorpio. This
moon cycle will be dominated by Sagittarian influences, yet the cycle is
initiated with deep Scorpio emotions, so the Sagittarian philosophical
approach may be directed toward emotional issues. There are no retrograde
planets throughout this moon cycle, so if you have been waiting for the
right time to embark upon new ambitious pursuits, now could be the time.
--------------------
Moon's First Quarter : Wednesday 22 November - Wednesday 29 November
--------------------
<< Wednesday 22 November >>
The Sun transitions from Scorpio to Sagittarius today for a stay until
22December. This transition will signify our entrance into the mutable
(changable) portion of the fall season. The Sagittarian emphasis will redirect
our efforts towards the 9th house concerns of philosophy, higher education,
and travel, and will impart a free-spirited and laissez-faire attitude.
Sagittarian energy is aptly characterized as a care-free and happy wanderer.
The Sun's entrance into Sagittarius (ruled by Jupiter) will certainly lighten
up most people's hearts following the deeply emotional excursion through
Scorpio. The following chart highlights this sun-sign transition.

---------- -----------
Duality Feminine Masculine
Element Water Fire

The conjunction of Mars (male) and Venus (female) influences at 24Sagittarius
can create a sensual and sexy energy flow today and for some time after.
This aspect realigns our desire nature (Mars) with our value orientation
(Venus). In Capricorn this may be a bit on the serious side, yet it is still
a good time for entertainment of any kind, so go out and have fun! ... or stay
in and provide your own entertainment ;-}
Following on the heels of the Sun, Mercury enters Sagittarius later today
for a stay until 11December. We are likely to feel that a huge load is
taken off of our minds when the serious and deep Mercury in Scorpio ideas
are replaced with the free-spirited laissez-faire attitudes of Mercury
in Sagittarius. With Mercury in Sagittarius we become more interested in
higher-learning and open philosophical discussions. We must be careful to
maintain some control over what we choose to express openly or we may end up
with both feet squarely in our mouths and other people becoming offended.
<< Thursday 23 November >>
There may be active and witty communications today as the Sun conjuncts
Mercury at 00Sagittarius. With this aspect in Sagittarius, our interactions
may be very direct, possibly in an unwittingly hurtful way. It is likely
that we won't want to be tied down to any plans or ideas.
Try to be subtle with communications today as Mercury conjuncts Pluto at
00Sagittarius. Don't try to force people or it could lead to resentment.
Be a reformer, not a dictator. Battle against your own stubbornness, try
to keep a lid on your tongue, and try to go with the flow.
Intense experiences may force us to become actively involved today as the
Sun conjuncts Pluto at 00Sagittarius. We may have to repair either a
posession (eg. car) or a situation which has broken down to the point that
it must change radically in order to proceed. We may be confronted by a
person trying to exert unreasonable power over us, forcing us to defend
ourselves. Pluto influences may expose hidden elements of personal or
social transformation. In any case, we may be compelled to enter into
experiences which plunge us well below the superficial level.
<< Tuesday 28 November >>
Some of the wild Sagittarian fun will wear off today as Venus enters
practical and serious Capricorn for a stay until 21December. Venus is
weighted down by Capricorn's willingness to sacrifice current rewards for
ambitions and eventual potential successes. However, professional and
business activites can work harmoniously, and it is a good time to renovate
at work. Older more mature people may be regarded as more attractive
during this transit.
---------------------
Moon's Second Quarter : Wednesday 29 November - Wednesday 06 December
---------------------
<< Thursday 30 November >>
Today Mars enters Capricorn for a stay until 08Jan96. Mars in Capricorn
stimulates practical application of our physical energies. We are likely to
be more responsible, dutiful, and serious, yet we may tend to plod along in a
sober way towards ambitious desires for career advancement and financial
security. We will feel as if we must be productive, yet we may manipulate
others to further their usefulness to us. Guard against becoming
over-pessimistic as it will deplete your energies.
<< Monday 04 December >>
Our mental ideas and thinking patterns may face obstructions which could
lead us into a depressive turn of mind today as Mercury at 18Sagittarius
squares Saturn at 18Pisces. We may feel that our free expression has been
thwarted in some way, possibly through emotional manipulation. Travel
arrangements may also face some snags, and we may feel generally down in
the dumps.
--------------------
Moon's Third Quarter : Wednesday 06 December - Friday 15 December
--------------------
<< Wednesday 06 December >>
The Moon is full this evening with the Moon at 14Gemini opposing the Sun
at 14Sagittarius. This opposition of fire and air elements in mutable
signs may promote active and exciting conversations, although the Moon in
Gemini may feel more comfortable staying on the surface of issues.
<< Friday 08 December >>
We can enjoy a burst of practical and highly detailed ideas and plans as
Mercury conjuncts Jupiter at 24Sagittarius. Thoughts may be directed
towards expansive new scientific or philosophical pursuits.
<< Sunday 10 December >>
Our egos may be impeded or our energies may be worn down today as the Sun
at 18Sagittarius squares Saturn at 18Pisces. Any issues we force are likely
to result in equal force opposition ... and these issues may reverberate
several times before being resolved. Try to remain low-key to avoid the
negative expressions of this aspect.
<< Monday 11 December >>
Today Mercury transits from Sagittarius to Capricorn for a stay until
01January96. With Mercury in Capricorn we enter a period where orderly
and structured thought processes are likely to be applied toward career
development interests. Much practical work can be accomplished during this
transit. We are likely to be more prepared and organized, with a strong
tendency to look for bargains to the point of being cheap. We may be faced
with restrictions on our free thinking, or with added work responsibilities.
In either case we are likely to be mentally challenged by ourselves or others.
<< Tuesday 12 December >>
We may be able to bring a new sense of structure and order to broken
relationships as Venus at 18Capricorn sextiles Saturn at 18Pisces. This is
an excellent time to sit down and arrive at a conscious understanding of
what each person expects from the other in a relationship. Venus sextile
Saturn also favors tasks requiring thoroughness and attention to detail.
---------------------
Moon's Fourth Quarter : Friday 15 December - Tuesday 21 December
---------------------
<< Saturday 16 December >>
We may enjoy a creative and dreamily romantic time today as Venus conjuncts
Neptune at 24Capricorn. This feeling may be enhanced if we can extend beyond
the practicality of Capricorn to enjoy the aspect more fully. Use of drugs
or meditative states may also be highlighted.
<< Monday 18 December >>
Expansive and benevolent influences will be activated as the Sun conjuncts
Jupiter at 27Scorpio. This aspect encourages optimism and philosophical
concern for issues beyond oneself. Feelings of peace and harmony prevail.
<< Wednesday 20 December >>
Excitement and unpredictability may spruce up our love life today as Venus
conjuncts Uranus at 29Capricorn. Unexpected changes could rattle the
foundations our affections. We may become attracted to a new love interest,
and with Venus in Capricorn the new love may be someone older or someone met
through work.
<< Thursday 21 December >>
Venus enters Aquarius today for a stay until 15January96. Venus in Aquarius
stimulates a more detached and intellectual approach to love, and may be
accompanied by more idealistic affection for 'humanity' than for any
individual person. We may have difficulty empathizing with the emotional
problems of others since we may concern ourselves only with the big picture
and overlook significant personal issues. Group activities and humanitarian
causes will have more of an attraction for us now, although to be an effective
team player we will need to refrain from thinking (or expressing) that we
know the "correct" solutions to problems the group is striving to solve.
The next new moon is in Sagittarius on 21 December. Until then ... enjoy
the Sagittarian fun, and consider making a final ambitious effort at work
while Uranus remains in Capricorn to set yourself up to assume broader
responsibilities and activities when Uranus enters Aquarius during the next
moon cycle.

Astrology Watch Highlights
==========================
The new moon on 21December in the mutable fire sign Sagittarius provides us
with opportunities to explore the world around us, and in the process, to
expand our own personal philosophies. Sagittarius is ruled by benefic Jupiter
(expansion) and relates to the 9th house concerns of philosophy, higher
learning, travel, and exploration. As a mutable sign, Sagittarian energies
are flexible, and are characterized by a care-free laissez-faire attitude.
As with other fire signs (Aries, Leo) Sagittarian energies are associated with
dynamic and fast-moving activities, and can seem insensitive to the feelings
of those who move a bit more slowly. Sagittarian expressions can often appear
to be out-of-control, and eccentric actions may be undertaken for their shock
value alone .. usually all in fun ;-}. Don't ask anyone for their opinion
unless you truly want to know, because the Sagittarian attitude could yield
some blunt and startling responses. The Sagittarian new moon also indicates
interest in foreign affairs, and may provide some new and expansive concepts
relating to world peace.
Occurring at 29Sagittarius, this new moon also represents the culmination
of the free Sagittarian experience, and the rocky initiation into the
responsible world of Capricorn affairs. The way to maximize your growth
during this Sagittarian new moon cycle is to utilize your loosened-up
exploratory attitude to direct your ambitious nature toward more interesting
and rewarding pursuits. Keep your emotional well-being in mind too, as
Capricorn has a tendency to overlook it ... and don't expect great things
to happen overnight, as Capricorn tends to delay rewards until significant
effort has been expended.
--------------------
Moon's First Quarter : Thursday 21 December - Thursday 28 December
--------------------
<< Thursday 21 December >>
Venus enters Aquarius today for a stay until 15January96. Venus in Aquarius
stimulates a more detached and intellectual approach to love, and may be
accompanied by more idealistic affection for 'humanity' than for any
individual person. We may have difficulty empathizing with the emotional
problems of others since we may concern ourselves only with the big picture
and overlook significant personal issues. Group activities and humanitarian
causes will have more of an attraction for us now, although to be an effective
team player we will need to refrain from thinking (or expressing) that we
know the "correct" solutions to problems the group is striving to solve.
<< Friday 22 December >>
This morning the Sun transitions from Sagittarius (mutable fire) to
Capricorn (cardinal earth). This is called the Winter Solstice, the first
day of Winter, and has the least sun-light of the year (in the Northern
hemisphere). It also signifies the entrance into the cardinal (active,
initiating) portion of the winter season. The Capricorn emphasis redirects
our efforts towards the 10th house concerns of career, status and prestige.
Capricorn energy focuses upon the construction of sturdy foundations of all
kinds (physical, emotional, spiritual, etc.), and can provide a required base
for the emotional family-related expressions of its opposite/complementary
sign Cancer.
The Sun's entrance into Capricorn (ruled by Saturn) will certainly bring a
more serious and sober attitude to people after the lighter expressions of
Sagittarius. Capricorn energies can endure great sacrifices to move ahead in
a career. Caring and compassion for others must be developed, however, or the
outward success will end up being as empty and unfulfilling as the sacrifices
which led there. The following chart highlights this sun-sign transition.

Planet Jupiter Saturn
Keyword 'I See' 'I Use'

Our love life or affective nature may undergo a somewhat radical yet
contructive reform as Venus at 02Aquarius sextiles Pluto at 02Sagittarius.
With Venus in Aquarius this change may result from group activities, and
with Pluto in Sagittarius we may be quite adventurous. As with all sextile
aspects we must take the initiative or little will happen.
<< Saturday 23 December >>
Our mind and communication faculties can be lightning quick today as Mercury
conjuncts Mars at 17Capricorn. Our highly active mind should be able to get
points across easily and quickly. Agressive communications may ensue, yet
expressions of responsibility may allow them to be resolved smoothly.
<< Sunday 24 December >>
We may experience a clear mind and good judgement today as Mercury at
19Capricorn sextiles Saturn at 19Pisces. This is an excellent time to
lay the groundwork for future plans. This aspect enhances our capacity for
organization, and encourages us to leave nothing to chance. Carefully
recording your dreams today may yield additional insights.
<< Monday 25 December >>
Influences are favorable for initiating career or physical training regimens
today as Mars at 19Capricorn sextiles Saturn at 19Pisces. Any work should
proceed smoothly if we are properly prepared (yet is anyone ever fully prepared
for Christmas?).
---------------------
Moon's Second Quarter : Thursday 28 December - Friday 05 January
---------------------
<< Thursday 28 December >>
Our practical thoughts may be more than a bit confused today as Mercury
conjuncts Neptune at 25Capricorn. Penetrating insights may also arise,
yet Neptune can be deceiving, so don't believe everything you hear.
<< Sunday 31 December >>
Exciting conversations which may be energized by a slip of the tongue or two
are highlighted today as Mercury conjuncts Uranus at 29Capricorn. Listen to
inspirational new twists on some old out-dated concepts, especially at work
or in regard to practical concerns and goals.
<< Monday 1 January >>
Today Mercury transits from Capricorn to Aquarius for a stay until
17January. Mercury entering Aquarius indicates that our mental faculties
will surface from the Capricorn grind, with idealistic Aquarian (Uranian)
ideas emphasizing humanitarian and group goals. Our communications are more
conducive to the establishment of friendships, yet in a somewhat detached way.
We may experience a dissipation and diffusion of our energies today at Mars
conjuncts Neptune at 24Capricorn. Our focus can become clouded, yet from
behind the clouds some very insightful rays of understanding may creep in,
especially in regard to long range goals. We may be confused or deceived by
coworkers (especially males), so try not to be overly gullible this week.
<< Wednesday 2 January >>
Jupiter enters Capricorn today for a one year stay until 21January97.
Jupiter's expansiveness is impeded during it's transit through Saturn-ruled
Capricorn, and unconstrained expansion will meet with many roadblocks.
We may gain significant benefit through the practical application of our
ideas into tangible results, however, and we would do well to put our efforts
into Saturn-ruled concrete pursuits. With the tenth-house Capricorn influence,
this will be a good time to expand at work, but go slowly, and allow extra
time for any suggested changes to be enacted. We may also encounter tax or
inheritance issues during this time, so this is not a year to play fast and
loose with your tax returns.
We have the potential for constructive reformative ideas and communications
today as Mercury at 02Aquarius sextiles Pluto at 02Sagittarius. We may
be spurred to reconsider long-held beliefs, or to recast the basis of our
interactions with others.
--------------------
Moon's Third Quarter : Friday 05 January - Saturday 13 January
--------------------
<< Friday 5 January >>
The moon is full today with the Moon at 14Cancer opposing the Sun at
14Capricorn. This full Moon may trigger action on a variety of prevalent
issues concerning the balancing of work and family.
<< Saturday 7 January >>
We may experience unexpected and quick events which can be quite explosive
today as Mars conjuncts Uranus at 29Capricorn. In Capricorn, this aspect can
indicate events of a serious nature with long-lasting structural effects.
This aspect may encourage physical activity of a dangerous or risky nature,
but we should use caution. There will be plenty of energy to take actions
which may be long over-due, especially where fear was a factor in delaying
actions. So, face your fears, do what must be done, but keep your guard up.
<< Monday 8 January >>
Also today, Mars enters Aquarius for a stay until 14February. Mars in
Aquarius is inventive and original, yet may be stubborn and cause difficulties
with authorities if we do not remain flexible. Working with groups involved
in idealistic and humanitarian causes is highlighted.
<< Tuesday 9 January >>
Mercury turns retrograde today until 30January. Don't push it now, review
and reconsider. Murphy works overtime now, so leave yourself extra time.
<< Wednesday 10 January >>
We enjoy an orderly state of mind and self-discipline excellent for
constructive work as the Sun at 20Capricorn sextiles Saturn at 20Pisces.
This aspect confers constructive ambition, good organization, and a mature
attitude. This is a good aspect for communications with those in power,
but is probably not strong enough to counteract Mercury retrograde mishaps.
We are likely to make steady progress toward goals, and enjoy an enhanced
sense of dignity. Some initiative and patience may be required in order
to reap the benefits of this aspect.
<< Thursday 11 January >>
There is a possibility for powerful actions to effectively reform or
regenerate things today as Mars at 02Aquarius sextiles Pluto at 02Sagittarius.
Any reorganization changes made now may be irreversible. We may feel that
our goals are sublime and our actions are somehow preordained. We may feel
great strength both physically and emotionally, although with the sextile
aspect we may have to initiate some action on our own volition in order to
get the juices flowing.
<< Friday 12 January >>
Uranus enters it's own sign Aquarius today for a stay of 7-8 years. Some
areas which Uranus in Aquarius is likely to prompt change are the following:
more equitable distribution of resources and power between the "haves" and
the "have nots", a resurgence of activism for gender and racial equality,
scientific and technological advances, potentially radical changes in
established religions and/or significant new religious teachings, and
uprisings of rebellion against tyrannical leaders. Astrology is likely to
increase in popularity, the existence of UFO's may be confirmed, and new
political parties may arise to represent the common man. These Uranian
ideas are likely to be regarded as a bit radical at first, yet they may
achieve more widely accepted status when Neptune joins Uranus in Aquarius
in 1998. If there is any single event which actually identifies the
beginning of the "Age of Aquarius", this is probably it!
---------------------
Moon's Fourth Quarter : Saturday 13 January - Saturday 20 January
---------------------
<< Saturday 13 January >>
We revisit a mentally stimulating aspect today as Mercury conjuncts Mars at
04Aquarius. On 23December this same aspect occurred in Capricorn, so we
should have some more insights now with the aspect in Aquarius, but we still
can't trust them fully since Mercury is retrograde. We should wait for the
third occurrence of the conjunction to act on any ideas generated today.
<< Sunday 14 January >>
Venus transits from Aquarius to Pisces today for a stay until 08February.
Venus in Pisces is extremely sensitive, and demonstrates extraordinary
emotional sympathy and understanding, kindness towards those in need, and
appreciation of beauty. Due to the influence of Neptune, the ruler of Pisces,
we can understand others on a deeply spiritual and compassionate level.
This transit is associated with secret romances and behind-the-scenes
activity. We are attracted to places of retreat and romantic privacy.
<< Monday 15 January >>
We have another opportunity to reform our beliefs as Mercury at 02Aquarius
again sextiles Pluto at 02Sagitttarius. This same aspect occurred two weeks
ago with Mercury in direct motion, this time Mercury is retrograde, and the
same aspect will recur a final time next month with Mercury direct again.
We should use this occurrence of the aspect to reconsider recent changes we
have made, allowing our ideas to continue to change freely. These ideas can
be refined clearly on the final occurrence of the aspect.
We can be creative in a tangible or practical way today as the Sun conjuncts
Neptune at 25Capricorn. We may have dreamy or idealistic business thoughts,
and may grasp new insights into business planning processes. There is a
potential for deception today, so keep your eyes and ears open. Be careful
not to overdo it with drugs or alcohol.
<< Tuesday 16 January >>
We enjoy another inspirational boost today with Mercury conjuncts Uranus at
00Aquarius. This aspect also occurred 2+ weeks ago, yet then it was in
Capricorn, and the final occurence next month will also be in Aquarius.
The same advice holds for this retrograde aspect as for Mercury sextile
Pluto described above. Reconsider your inspirations, allowing them to
develop, and put them in action next month.
Relationships may be upset by fixed attitudes and stubborn behavior today
as Venus at 02Pisces squares Pluto at 02Sagittarius. Past secrets may surface.
Pride may have to be swallowed in order to maintain key relationships.
<< Wednesday 17 January >>
Today Mercury retrogrades from Aquarius back into Capricorn for a stay until
14February when it returns to Aquarius. With Mercury in Capricorn we reenter
a period where orderly and structured thought processes are likely to be applied
toward career development interests. Much practical work can be accomplished
during this transit. We are likely to be more prepared and organized, with a
strong tendency to look for bargains to the point of being cheap. We may be
faced with restrictions on our thinking, or with added work responsibilities.
In either case we are likely to be mentally challenged by ourselves or others.
We should avoid influential business decisions now, and rather reconsider and
strengthen our positions for presentation after Mercury is direct.
We can enjoy benevolent and peaceful feelings today as Venus at 03Pisces
sextiles Jupiter at 03Capricorn. This aspect can impart creative talent and
generous expression of affection, although with Jupiter in Capricorn our
expressions may be subdued. This may also be a good day to initiate
financial enterprises or real-estate transactions.
The next new moon is at the end of Capricorn on 20January. Until then ...
avoid the pitfalls of Mercury retrograde, and begin to feel for the inevitable
changes coming our way as Uranus becomes established in Aquarius.

Astrology Watch Highlights
==========================
The new moon on 20January in the cardinal earth sign Capricorn provides
us with opportunities to construct a solid concrete foundation upon which to
erect the physical, emotional, and spiritual structures of our lives.
Capricorn is ruled by Saturn (restriction) and relates to the 10th house
concerns of career, prestige, ambition, and status. As a cardinal sign,
Capricorn energies are active, and are characterized by workaholic tendencies
and more serious and sober attitudes. With Capricorn energies, we become
more aware of our own sense of structure and of our ego concerns. We are
likely to place more emphasis on work, including acceptance of added
responsibilities and more concern for long-range planning.
Capricorn energies can endure great sacrifices for career ambitions, but they
may ignore the personal compassion and caring which makes life worth living.
As with other earth signs (Taurus, Virgo) Capricorn energies are associated
with practical, rational, and generally down-to-earth activities, which may
seem overly constrained to some of the freer energies of the zodiac. The way
to maximize your growth during this new moon cycle is to pay attention to job
related issues, and to strengthen your professional and business foundations.
However, retain an awareness of the qualities of the opposing sign Cancer by
remaining sensitive to home and family issues, and thus embrace both sides of
the dichotomy between conscious will and tangible success (Capricorn) versus
unconsious mind and intangible feelings (Cancer).

Moon's First Quarter : Saturday 20 January - Saturday 27 January
--------------------
<< Saturday 20 January >>
Our practical thoughts may be more than a bit confused today as Mercury
conjuncts Neptune at 25Capricorn. Penetrating insights may also arise,
yet Neptune can be deceiving, so don't believe everything you hear.
The Sun transitions from cardinal earth sign Capricorn to fixed air sign
Aquarius today for a stay until 19February. This signifies our entrance into
the fixed (stable) portion of the winter season. The Aquarian emphasis will
redirect our efforts towards the 11th house concerns of groups, social work,
and worthy causes. Aquarius is ruled by Uranus which contributes erratic,
ingenious, and revolutionary influences, with an emphasis on science, high
technology, or astrology. Aquarian energy can be perceptive, detached, and
impersonal, and can provide a confident intellectual base for leadership
expressions of its opposite/complementary sign Leo.
The Sun's entrance into Aquarius will bring a more detached and intellectual
attitude to people after the heavier expressions of Capricorn. Aquarian energy
invariably attempts to idealize the human condition, denying personal foibles
and being generally impersonal, yet pursuing social and humanitarian issues
and group goals. Aquarian energy may feel more compassion for idealistic
concerns of 'humanity' than for the concerns of actual individual human beings
who are inevitably not so ideal. The following chart highlights this sun-sign
transition.

<< Sunday 21 January >>
We may experience unexpected shocks as the Sun conjuncts Uranus at
00Aquarius. This aspect brings an interest in shaking off old routines,
and we can enjoy an exciting inner drive to be different. It is a _great_
time to break stale habits! This aspect can impart personal magnetism and
eccentricity, and can also indicate practical innovations at work. Don't
get caught up struggling with boring stuff today.. break free and do
something exciting!
<< Tuesday 23 January >>
We may experience new and reformative ideas and actions as the Sun at
02Aquarius sextiles Pluto at 02Sagittarius. We are likely to experience
intense emotions and the strength of our convictions. This is a good day
to make productive changes of a rebuilding nature.
<< Wednesday 24 January >>
We may experience a clear mind and good judgement today as Mercury at
21Capricorn sextiles Saturn at 21Pisces. This is an excellent time to
lay the groundwork for future plans. This aspect enhances our capacity for
organization, and encourages us to leave nothing to chance. Carefully
recording your dreams today may yield additional insights.
---------------------
Moon's Second Quarter : Saturday 27 January - Sunday 04 February
---------------------
<< Tuesday 30 January >>
Mercury at 19Capricorn turns to direct motion today which will gradually
allow communications to flow more smoothly, and will reduce the effects
of distractive interruptions.
While at 19Capricorn Mercury sextiles Venus at 19Pisces. This mild
aspect between inner planets has a relatively brief effect of making us feel
social and attractive. It can help us to communicate effectively about likes
and dislikes, especially regarding decorating ideas or emotional experiences.
<< Friday 02 February >>
Later tonight we may experience a 'wet blanket' atmosphere as Venus conjuncts
Saturn at 22Pisces. This may not be much fun, but it can be effectively
utilized to reestablish relationships on a firmer foundations over the next
couple of days. We may experience restrictions, delays, or roadblocks of an
emotional nature. We may feel better if we spend some time redecorating.
--------------------
Moon's Third Quarter : Sunday 04 February - Monday 12 February
--------------------
<< Sunday 04 February >>
The Moon at 14Leo is full today, opposing the Sun at 14Aquarius. This full
moon in fixed signs may result in some conflicts which are difficult to
reconcile, yet will pass rather quickly. Issues may involve the inherent
conflict of personal privilege or entitlements (Leo) versus "the greatest good
for the greatest number" (Aquarius). This type of conflict may not be between
us and others, but within ourselves as well.
<< Monday 04 February >>
Our creative and romantic imagination is aroused as Venus at 26Pisces
sextiles Neptune at 26Capricorn. Our appreciation of beauty and our
sensitivity to the feelings of others are enhanced.
<< Wednesday 07 February >>
We may experience a clear mind and good judgement today as Mercury at
22Capricorn sextiles Saturn at 22Pisces. This is an excellent time to
lay the groundwork for future plans. This aspect enhances our capacity for
organization, and encourages us to leave nothing to chance. Carefully
recording your dreams today may yield additional insights.
<< Thursday 08 February >>
The activity level in our relationships will increase markedly as Venus
enters Aries for a stay until 05March. During this transit we become more
impulsive and aggressive in our emotional expressions. Affections can also
become impulsive and unstable.
<< Saturday 10 February >>
Exciting new love interests may arise today as Venus at 01Aries sextiles
Uranus at 01Aquarius. Science or art may figure in the excitement.
Relationships stemming from these encounters are likely to be mature and
responsible with a touch of prudishness, yet they can be embellished by
an intense and sensual emotional attraction.
<< Sunday 11 February >>
Our practical thoughts may be more than a bit confused today as Mercury
conjuncts Neptune at 26Capricorn. Penetrating insights may also arise,
yet Neptune can be deceiving, so don't believe everything you hear.
Our emotional expressions will be intense and profound as Venus at 03Aries
trines Pluto at 03Sagittarius. Meetings with new people may feel pre-ordained,
and could result in intense and sexual relationships. New insights into the
workings behind the scenes of relationships should be carefully listened to.
---------------------
Moon's Fourth Quarter : Monday 12 February - Sunday 18 February
---------------------
<< Wednesday 14 February >>
Today Mercury transits from Capricorn to Aquarius for a stay until
07March. Mercury entering Aquarius indicates that our mental faculties
will surface from the Capricorn grind, with idealistic Aquarian (Uranian)
ideas emphasizing humanitarian and group goals. Our communications are more
conducive to the establishment of friendships, yet in a somewhat detached way.
<< Thursday 15 February >>
Mars enters Pisces today for a stay until 24March. This is an excellent
transit for creating very harmonious love relationships, so you may be able
to use these tendencies to counteract any lingering aloofness from Mars in
Aquarius. Mars in Pisces is not as energetic as Mars in many (any?) other
signs, but it can be the most sensitive and and 'mushy' placement for romance
(we aren't just saying that because both our natal Mars' are in Pisces ;-}).
<< Friday 16 February >>
Exciting conversations which may be energized by a slip of the tongue or two
are highlighted today as Mercury conjuncts Uranus at 02Aquarius. Listen to
inspirational new twists on some old out-dated concepts, especially in group
pursuits, or in regard to humanitarian goals.
We needn't expect any serious problems as Venus at 09Aries squares Jupiter
at 09Capricorn, yet we may experience personal let-downs of an emotional
nature. This aspect may bring out cruder mannerisms lacking in social grace,
and we may procrastinate and waste time on unproductive pursuits.
<< Saturday 17 February >>
We have the potential for constructive reformative ideas and communications
today as Mercury at 03Aquarius sextiles Pluto at 03Sagittarius. We may
be spurred to reconsider long-held beliefs, or to recast the basis of our
interactions with others.
The next new moon is at the end of Aquarius on 18February. Until then ...
continue your attempts to understand current issues, but lay back a bit until
the end of January when Mercury turns direct, when you can charge ahead with
revived Aquarian ingenuity ... and charm ;-}

==========================
The new moon on 18February in Aquarius (fixed air) provides us with
opportunities to re-establish our involvement with the creative goals of
groups and organizations, with friends, and with humanitarian interests.
Aquarius is ruled by Uranus (erratic change) and relates to the 11th house
concerns of organizations, personal goals and objectives, science, and a
detached mental outlook. As a fixed sign, Aquarian energies are stable;
and as an air sign the energy is expressed through ideas rather than
through actions (fire), emotions (water), or things (earth).
Using Aquarian influences individuals can enjoy more positive self-expression
through scientific, humanitarian, or occult groups. People also gain a more
universal perspective on life. The way to maximize growth during this new
moon cycle is to condense ideas and thoughts into viable plans for the future
which are designed for the benefit of all rather than just for ourselves.
--------------------
Moon's First Quarter : Sunday 18 February - Tuesday 05 March
--------------------
<< Monday 19 February >>
Today the Sun enters Pisces for a stay until 20March. The mutable Piscean
influences (ruled by Neptune) bring a more sensitive and emotional attitude
compared to the fixed mental expressions of Aquarius. People may become more
sensitive, creative, and romantic, and will strive for insights on deeper
emotional levels. The following chart highlights this sun-sign transition.

This is a challenging time for creatively transforming the world around us
as Mars at 03Pisces squares Pluto at 03Sagittarius. Power struggles and
disagreements may ensue. Energy levels are high and this aspect arouses
ambition, but be careful of arousing opposition in the people you confront,
because it may be fierce. Don't act ruthlessly or underhandedly toward
others no matter how angry you become. Avoid dangerous places and activities.
<< Thursday 22 February >>
Bad feelings are apt to flare up in an open encounter today as the Sun at
03Pisces squares Pluto at 03Sagittarius. For this aspect the Sun can represent
powerful authority figures and Pluto can indicate the emotional eruption of
hidden grudges. This is a good day to keep our mouths shut so we don't
close any doors behind ourselves.
---------------------
Moon's Second Quarter : Monday 26 February - Tuesday 05 March
---------------------
<< Friday 01 March >>
We should try to expand our abilities to satisfy our own desires today as
Mars at 12Pisces sextiles Jupiter at 12Capricorn. We may find that luck is
with us if we expend the effort to try. This aspect is excellent for positive
and optimistic action on new projects.
<< Saturday 02 March >>
Our ego drives will get energized as the Sun at 12Pisces sextiles Jupiter
at 12Capricorn. With a bit of internal bolstering we can become brimming
with boisterous self-confidence and optimism. This aspect can also bring
good luck, and things planned today should work out well. It is also a
good day for group participation activities or philosophical pursuits.
<< Sunday 03 March >>
Avoid indulgences and self-pity today as Venus at 27Aries squares Neptune at
27Capricorn. Beware of being swept into depression and emotional confusion.
Watch the road carefully and don't daydream while driving.
<< Monday 04 March >>
A real energizer hits us today as the Sun conjuncts Mars at 14Pisces.
There is a possibility of ego-based over-aggression with this aspect, yet
athletic prowess is at its height so athletic outlets are highly recommended
to burn off excess energy. Otherwise, excess energy may be expressed as
irritability or arguing, and accidents may result from impulsive or reckless
actions. Strong regenerative forces may be available to us, however, and
initiation of new creative projects is favored. This aspect may also expose
our level of satisfaction with our current life situation, and may prompt us
to change our circumstances or our ambitions.
--------------------
Moon's Third Quarter : Tuesday 05 March - Tuesday 12 March
--------------------
<< Tuesday 05 March >>
The full moon occurs this morning with the Moon at 15Virgo opposing the
Sun at 15Pisces. This full moon in mutable signs may lead us to be
emotionally over-sensitive and/or over-critical, yet we should remain
flexible enough to resolve any problems which arise with this aspect.
Pluto at 03Sagittarius turns retrograde today until 10August. For a few
days while Pluto is essentially stationary but about to turn retrograde it
can bring out power struggles involving matters of business finances, debts,
loans, and other major changes which are often irreversible. Don't cling to
things which are falling by the wayside. Try not to react to the inevitable
destruction of some things by making decisions which preclude future options.
If it doesn't fit in your life don't blow it up ... blow it out of your life.
Venus enters its own sign Taurus this evening for a stay until 03April.
This transit is a pleasant one, and the fixed sign influence can lend
stability to our love relationships. Artistry and love are viewed in a
more possesive and security-minded way, with a more practical and serious
approach. Practice, study, and earthy sensuality are favored.
<< Thursday 07 March >>
Today Mercury enters Pisces for a stay until it enters Aries on 24March.
When Mercury is in Pisces (ruled by Neptune) we can become more in touch
with the hidden sides of our personalities and our unconscious drives, yet
we are more likely to keep such insights to ourselves. We are likely to have
increased concern with spiritual development, and may feel like escaping into
reclusion to sort out our ideas. Keeping secrets from others will only
undermine their confidence in us once the hidden secrets are revealed.
<< Friday 08 March >>
We are provided with opportunities to awaken and transform our personal
religious and philosophical freedom as Uranus at 03Aquarius sextiles Pluto
at 03Sagittarius. This aspect is somewhat active throughout this year,
and is exact today. This aspect can provide an unyielding focus on
innovation, and an increased clarity of purpose. Attempt to direct your
energies toward longer range goals which are worth achieving, and keep an
open mind for potentially unexpected solutions to current problems.
We may seek excitement in love relationships as Venus at 03Taurus squares
Uranus at 03Aquarius. Patience is demanded, and Venus in Taurus may be
able to muster what is required. Don't flirt too much today or you may
provoke a major confrontation with someone you love. Try to keep a lid
on impulsive spending since the excitement of buying will pass long before
the bills are paid ;-}.
<< Saturday 09 March >>
Our manner of communicating to ourselves and others may undergo challenges
later today as Mercury at 03Pisces squares Pluto at 03Sagittarius. Challenges
may be severe enough to divert us to a new way of thinking about ourselves
and of communicating to others. Active and emotional disagreements may ensue,
yet with both planets in mutable signs, some reconciliation may be possible.
Our best bet is to accept any criticism from others with a calm and listening
ear, and then use the feedback to modify our attitudes and behaviors. While
this sounds good, we may be more likely to take offense at criticism, or to
write it off as being totally baseless and fabricated by a lunatic ;-}.
<< Sunday 10 March >>
Mercury at 04Pisces sextiles Venus at 04Taurus today. This mild positive
aspect may allow us to express our feelings more freely, and to arrive at a
common understanding of issues with others.
---------------------
Moon's Fourth Quarter : Tuesday 12 March - Tuesday 19 March
---------------------
<< Friday 15 March >>
We may gain valuable insights into our own personal foundations and sense of
responsibility today as Saturn at 27Pisces sextiles Neptune at 27Capricorn.
We may identify practical new methods of responding to emotional commitments,
We can effectively initiate communications for expansive new projects as
Mercury at 14Pisces sextiles Jupiter at 14Capricorn. Favored are
Piscean projects involving emotional interactions, or Capricorn projects
focussing on business objectives.
<< Sunday 17 March >>
Restrictions or increased responsibilities may weigh heavily upon us today
and may be sobering or depressing as the Sun conjuncts Saturn at 27Pisces.
This may also represent a disciplinarian attitude toward using authority.
Arthritis or joint pain may also kick up and restrict some people's mobility.
Try to do something practical today, or reconsider long-range plans.
Our psychic sensitivities will be heightened today as the Sun at 27Pisces
sextiles Neptune at 27Capricorn. We may be able to unify many aspects of
our inner and outer spiritual natures. While we may feel a bit confused,
if we apply a little extra effort we may be able to clarify many spiritual
questions which have been plaguing us for some time.
<< Tuesday 19 March >>
We may become romantically inclined today as Venus at 14Taurus trines
Jupiter at 14Capricorn ... one of the most positive astrological aspects.
This aspect could enable us to break free of restrictive influences and
construct a new foundation for our affectional interests. Venus trine
Jupiter is also excellent for a bit of redecorating around the home or office.
Artistic endeavors involving music or art are likely to give you pleasure and
turn out well due to the great creative potential. This is a time when we may
finally receive deserved rewards which were previously earned, and when we are
likely to demonstrate more benevolence toward others.
The next new moon is at the end of Pisces on 19March. Until then ...
spend a bit of time charting out your future, yet keep in mind that your
own plans will work out better if there are inherent benefits for others
as well as for yourself.

Astrology Watch Highlights
==========================
The new moon on 19March in Pisces (mutable water) provides us with
opportunities to reestablish a close connection with our deepest and most
profound feelings. Pisces is ruled by Neptune (sublime delusion) and relates
to 12th house concerns of unconscious emotions, past experiences, intuitive
thoughts, behind the scenes actions, incarceration, and institutions.
As a mutable sign, Piscean energies are flexible; and as a water sign the
energy is expressed through emotions rather than through actions (fire),
things (earth), or thoughts (air). Using Piscean influences, we can enjoy
art, music, poetry and any project that requires sensitivity and creative,
imaginative thought. To maximize growth during this new moon cycle allow
your psychic and intuitive perceptions to manifest, share compassionate
feelings for others, and help behind the scenes with institutions or social
organizations.
---------------------
Moon's First Quarter : Tuesday 19 March - Tuesday 26 March
---------------------
<< Tuesday 19 March >>
We may become romantically inclined today as Venus at 14Taurus trines
Jupiter at 14Capricorn ... one of the most positive astrological aspects.
This aspect could enable us to break free of restrictive influences and
construct a new foundation for our affectional interests. Venus trine
Jupiter is also excellent for a bit of redecorating around the home or office.
Artistic endeavors involving music or art are likely to give you pleasure and
turn out well due to the great creative potential. This is a time when we may
finally receive deserved rewards which were previously earned, and when we are
likely to demonstrate more benevolence toward others.
<< Wednesday 20 March >>
The Sun enters Aries today for a stay until 19April. This marks the Vernal
Equinox and the beginning of Spring! The Aries dynamism is reflected as the
initiation of new life: flowers budding, animals mating, and people doing
all those romantic things they are known for. Keep in mind that Aries is
a Cardinal (active) Fire sign, and try to keep your cool since there may
be some people acting more inflammatory than usual.
This is actually one of the most significant Sun-sign transitions since it
signifies the culmination of one natural astrological cycle (Pisces .. natural
12th house) and the initiation of a new cycle (Aries .. natural 1st house).
This Sun-sign transition is highlighted in the following table:
Pisces Aries
---------- ----------
Duality Feminine Masculine
Element Water Fire
Quality Mutable Cardinal
Keyword 'I Believe' 'I Am'
Polarity Virgo Libra
Body Parts Feet Head
Animals Fish Ram
<< Thursday 21 March >>
Our psychic energy is stimulated today as Mars at 27Pisces sextiles
Neptune at 27Capricorn. This aspect may spur changes which can lead to
excitement, and can heighten our intuition concerning our goals and drives.
We can express strong self-discipline, sober thinking, and impressive
reasoning power today as Mars conjuncts Saturn at 28Pisces. We are more
able to concentrate on detailed work, and our actions are more disciplined
and controlled. This aspect may feel like driving with the brakes on.
<< Friday 22 March >>
Our perceptions will be keen as Mercury at 27Pisces sextiles Neptune
at 27Capricorn. This aspect stimulates a fertile imagination, and we may
become more than a bit dreamy. Creative writing is especially favored.
<< Saturday 23 March >>
We have an opportunity to make progressive changes through increased
willpower and resourcefulness today as the Sun at 03Aries trines Pluto at
03Sagittarius. Clairvoyance is highly stimulated, and efforts at spiritual,
mental or physical self-improvement are favored. We may assume a professional
leadership role, and may benefit through insurance, inheritance, or taxes.
On this day, those in authority may issue orders in especially cold and
insensitive terms as Mercury conjuncts Saturn at 28Pisces. As a result
of this harshness the abused may become a dangerous enemy. This aspect
will especially impact those involved with communication or transport
services, or with issues relating to restrictions on communications.
The Sun at 04Aries sextiles Uranus at 04Aquarius today. This highlights
practical new discoveries and useful new inventions, likely to be
work-related. The Sun-Uranus sextile may bring some mild relief from recent
tensions, and encourage the redirection of our energies into new areas.
Our mind and communication faculties can be lightning quick today as Mercury
conjuncts Mars at 28Pisces. Our highly active mind should be able to get
points across easily and quickly. Agressive communications may ensue, yet
expressions of empathy may allow them to be resolved smoothly.
<< Sunday 24 March >>
Mercury enters Aries today for a stay until 07April. With Mercury in Aries
we are likely to react with quick and aggressive mental responses. There is
an abundance of mental energy during this time, but we are more likely to act
first and think later. This is a perfect time to start a resolution to "Count
to Ten before Flaming", but it will be a very difficult period to hold to it.
Mars enters its own sign Aries today for a stay until 02May. Our desire
nature and physical energies can be very active and potent in Aries, but we
should try to restrain our desires from becoming so inflammatory that we
burn others. This can be an energetic, dynamic, and fast-moving period.
<< Monday 25 March >>
We may be struck by some highly penetrating and profound ideas as Mercury
at 03Aries trines Pluto at 03Sagittarius. This is an excellent day for
inventions and discoveries. It also favors long range planning and
insightful thoughts of future reforms or changes.
---------------------
Moon's Second Quarter : Tuesday 26 March - Wednesday 03April
---------------------
<< Tuesday 26 March >>
Our mind may be racing today as Mercury at 04Aries sextiles Uranus at
04Aquarius. This aspect stimulates quick intuitive and inventive thinking,
and enhances original dramatic expression. Inventions or discoveries are
favored in electronics, science or engineering. Try some brainstorming of
innovative new career or work ideas.
<< Thursday 28 March >>
We may enjoy more effective self-expression today as the Sun conjuncts
Mercury at 08Aries. Our mental energy will be bursting and will allow us to
pay close attention to details. A short trip may also be enjoyable.
We can mobilize powerful energy for rebuilding today as Mars at 03Aries
trines Pluto at 03Sagittarius. With both planets in fire signs and Mars in
it's own sign Aries, the power inherent in this aspect could overflow into
overly agressive or even violent expressions if not kept in check.
<< Friday 29 March >>
Unexpected events may cause either disruption or inspiration today as Mars
at 04Aries sextiles Uranus at 04Aquarius. Our desires may be surprisingly
fulfilled, and we could enjoy success with almost anything that we seriously
attempt today.
<< Sunday 31 March >>
Creative expression inspired by dreams is favored today as Venus at 27Taurus
trines Neptune at 27Capricorn. Warm compassion and highly idealistic love
can combine to create a misty romantic atmosphere.
<< Monday 1 April >>
We can bolster optimistic attitudes towards long-range goals today as Mercury
at 15Aries squares Jupiter at 15Capricorn. This aspect can be favorable,
and at this time we may grasp the whole picture and think in big, ideal,
abstract terms. We may be sloppy with details, however, and may be inclined
to overlook important details which conflict with larger plans.
<< Tuesday 2 April >>
We may be able to bring a new sense of structure and order to broken
relationships as Venus at 29Taurus sextiles Saturn at 29Pisces. This is
an excellent time to sit down and arrive at a conscious understanding of
what each person expects from the other in a relationship. Venus sextile
Saturn favors tasks requiring thoroughness and attention to detail.
--------------------
Moon's Third Quarter : Wednesday 03April - Wednesday 10 April
--------------------
<< Wednesday 03 April >>
The Moon is full this evening with the Moon at 14Libra opposing the Sun at
14Aries. This is a firecracker of a full Moon with influence accentuated by
a Lunar Eclipse, and we should garner all of the reconciling influences of
the Libra Moon to counteract the sharp and sometimes offensive actions of
Aries.
We will feel a shift in our values and relationships as Venus enters Gemini
for a stay until 07August. During this transit we will tend to place more
value on ideas and intellectual pursuits. We are interested in establishing
friendships, but will stay somewhat on the surface instead of getting deeply
involved. Conversation can be witty, and generally interpersonal relations
are lighter and more enjoyable. Our values are changeable, and we are
flexible enough to change our viewpoints. This applies to our love life too
as Venus in Gemini can be associated with multiple or fickle love interests.
<< Friday 05 April >>
Mild personal problems arising from hypocrisy, extravagance, and inflated
self-importance are indicated today as the Sun at 16Aries squares Jupiter
at 16Capricorn. While the effects of this square are not severe, it can
lead to overexpansion, foolish optimism, and waste. We may feel a bit on the
slow side today, and just taking it easy may be the theme of the day. We have
a tendency to adhere to dogmatic views which may cause problems in romantic,
social, or business situations. Gambling is unwise at this time, and charity
may be tinged with a desire for personal recognition and praise. The
'antidote' for most of these negative expressions is to maintain a more
objective and philosophical perspective on issues which arise today.
<< Saturday 06 April >>
The challenge today is to transform romantic inspirations into a more
stable form as Venus at 03Gemini opposes Pluto at 03Sagittarius. This
opposition can lead to excessive jealousy, controlling of others, or allowing
others to control you.
Our practical thinking may become confused and deluded today as Mercury at
27Aries squares Neptune at 27Capricorn. However, this influence can also
be especially fruitful for highly creative and intuitive thinking.
<< Sunday 07 April >>
Our sense of responsibility enters a new phase of expression today as
Saturn enters Aries for a stay until June, 1998. While Saturn in Pisces
has encouraged a rather nebulous approach to the structure of our personal
obligations, Saturn in Aries will bring it into sharper focus. However,
the methodical, introverted, and slowly developed Saturn consciousness
finds little room for effective expression within Aries, the most extroverted,
impulsive, and adventurous of zodiacal signs. This may lead to rather
spasmodic expressions of responsibility, interspersed with reckless or
thoughtless activities. There is a potential to become entrenched in
matters which we consider to represent our personal identity (and thus
guard with vigor), regardless of whether the related projects are viable
or not. If we can learn from our own ill-considered actions and the
difficulties which arise from them, we can gain great strength for furthur
development of our own unique character.
Exciting new love interests (multiple! .. twins? ;-} ) may arise today as
Venus at 04Gemini trines Uranus at 04Aquarius. Science or art may figure
in the excitement.
Mercury enters Taurus today for a stay until 14June. During this time our
thinking will be practical and deliberate. A danger of this Mercury placement
is mental complacency, yet careful planning and patience are supported, and
real-estate transactions are favored. We are likely to engage in practical
down-to-earth communications, yet we may retain fixed mental attitudes.
Our attention turns towards what we value. We may experience a short period
of mental confusion as Mercury changes signs.
---------------------
Moon's Fourth Quarter : Wednesday 10 April - Wednesday 17 April
---------------------
<< Wednesday 10 April >>
We should prepare for and beware of sudden upsets and disruptive
communications as Mercury at 04Taurus squares Uranus at 04Aquarius.
Be extra careful today since we tend to be more accident prone.
Learn to go with the flow of disruptions, and avoid arguing in the
face of change. Allow for delays resulting from unexpected events.
There may be thunder and lightning expressed in communications relating
to groups or humanitarian activities. Through all of this we may be
able to remain talkative and sociable, although we must beware of adopting
fixed hard-line mental attitudes ... because they won't stand up to the
ever-changing Uranian influences.
<< Wednesday 15 April >>
We may be confronted with challenges today as Mars at 17Aries squares
Jupiter at 17Capricorn. These challenges are likely to be a result of the
overexpansion of our desires, or expansion into areas which are not
productive. We may move ahead too fast and thereby miss some important
things which could lead us into accidents. The overexpansion could also be
of the ego, leading to an over-competitive attitude. Be cautious, and try
to relax and let it ride instead of pushing it to the limit.
<< Wednesday 17 April >>
We may be in for other challenges today resulting from delusion, dreaminess,
creativity, or dissipation of energies as the Sun at 27Aries squares Neptune
at 27Capricorn. This may inspire some to creative expression, and may instill
psychic content into relationships, yet it may also create delusional thinking
with respect to any practical or factual reality orientation. Drugs or other
escapist tendencies may be indulged.
The next new moon is at the end of Aries on 17April, and is accompanied
by a Solar Eclipse. Until then ... with the Sun, Mercury, and Mars all
entering Aries shortly, Spring will have really sprung by the time this
new Moon has fully waxed; so feel free to explore your adventurous nature,
yet avoid conflicts by trying to keep your own explorations from impinging
upon those of others.

Astrology Watch Highlights
==========================
The new moon on 17April in Aries (cardinal fire) provides us with an
opportunity to make a fresh start. Aries is the astrological new year,
and thus a time for new beginnings. Aries is ruled by Mars (desire and
aggression) and relates to 1st house concerns of ego, independence, new
ventures, self-awareness and discovery.
As a cardinal sign, Aries energies are dynamic; and as a fire sign, energy
is expressed through actions rather than through emotions (water), things
(earth), or thoughts (air). Using Aries influences, individuals can enjoy
competitive sports, new projects, and any activity that requires direct
assertiveness. We should guard against over-impulsiveness or being too
headstrong. To maximize growth during this new moon cycle initiate changes
now. This is a new chance for making New Year's resolutions, so start fresh,
develop new ideas, explore new options, and try new things.
--------------------
Moon's First Quarter : Wednesday 17 April - Thursday 25 April
--------------------
<< Wednesday 17 April >>
The new Moon today is associated with a Solar Eclipse, providing more
accentuation for this transition to the individual and personal dynamism
of an Aries Moon cycle.
We may be in for other challenges today resulting from delusion, dreaminess,
creativity, or dissipation of energies as the Sun at 27Aries squares Neptune
at 27Capricorn. This may inspire some to creative expression, and may instill
psychic content into relationships, yet it may also create delusional thinking
with respect to any practical or factual reality orientation. Drugs or other
escapist tendencies may be indulged.
Our mental outlook is looking up today with optimistic viewpoints as Mercury
at 17Taurus trines Jupiter at 17Capricorn. This aspect may be accompanied by
job opportunities for interesting and rewarding work, or promotions. At this
time communications are smooth and philosophically minded. We demonstrate a
good balance between attention to detail versus grasp of the comprehensive
view. Emotional disturbances may improve through relaxation or excercise.
This aspect is favorable for study, writing, teaching, interacting with the
communications media, or travel related to philosophy, religion, or education.
<< Friday 19 April >>
The Sun enters Taurus (fixed, earth) today for a stay until 20May, ushering
in the fixed portion of the Spring season. Plant or transplant your gardens
now to encourage steady growth, and sow new seeds for hardy development.
Aries has been rushing out in new directions, now Taurus sets our feet back
firmly on the ground. The following chart highlights this sun-sign transition.
Aries Taurus
---------- ----------
Duality Masculine Feminine
Element Fire Earth
Quality Cardinal Fixed
Keyword 'I Am' 'I Have'
Polarity Libra Scorpio
Body Parts Head Neck and Throat
Animals Ram Bull
<< Wednesday 24 April >>
We should prepare for and beware of sudden upsets and disruptive situations
as the Sun at 04Taurus squares Uranus at 04Aquarius. We desire to break
down our everyday routines today, yet we may end up taking foolhardy risks
to do so. Be extra careful today since we tend to be more accident prone.
Learn to go with the flow of disruptions, and avoid arguing or you could
make things worse.
---------------------
Moon's Second Quarter : Thursday 25 April - Friday 3 May
---------------------
<< Saturday 27 April >>
A major positive aspect between outer planets occurs today as Saturn at
02Aries trine Pluto at 02Sagittarius. Saturn in Aries indicates that
our sense of structure is associated with the first house characteristics
of pioneering effort and individual responsibility. Pluto in Sagittarius
indicates that tendencies to break down and rebuild are applied to our
philosophies. This aspect indicates that we can break down old worn-out
structures to reveal brand new approaches which emerge on more solid ground.
While these changes may shake some people up, Saturn can stabilize the
inevitable reformative influences of Pluto. Some herculean individual
efforts may provide major benefits for the world as a whole, possibly in
the area of cures for diseases.
<< Monday 29 April >>
Neptune at 27Capricorn turns retrograde today until 06October. This
transit accentuates our internal conflicts between dreams versus practicality.
We need to use and cultivate our imagination even in opposition to practical
issues, and we need to get our affairs in order. Many things which have been
kept concealed for a long time may be exposed as Neptune turns retrograde.
Our energies may dissipate into a haze today as Mars at 27Aries squares
Neptune at 27Capricorn. This can lead to laziness, procrastination, or
even religious fanaticism. Our desires can be deluded so don't push them.
This is an excellent time for practical creativity and our imaginative powers
as Mercury at 27Taurus trines Neptune at 27Capricorn. We may achieve harmony
through creative pursuits, or we may just enjoy daydreaming today.
<< Thursday 2 May >>
Mars enters Taurus today until 12June following its recent stay in Aries.
People may notice a slow-down of all activities since Mars in Aries was quite
a firecracker, but Mars in Taurus becomes much more stable and can plod
steadfastly and stubbornly towards longer range goals. This sign transition
exemplifies the two characters in the classic story of the tortoise (Mars in
Taurus) and the hare (Mars in Aries).
--------------------
Moon's Third Quarter : Friday 3 May - Friday 10May
--------------------
<< Friday 3 May >>
The Moon is full today, with the Moon at 13Scorpio opposing the Sun at
13Taurus. This fixed sign full moon is as stubborn as they get, so any
conflicts which arise should be stepped around delicately instead of faced
head-on at this time. Head-on confrontations will result in head-on
collisions, with neither party diverting from their original stance.
On 03May Mercury turns retrograde at 28Taurus until 27May. This happens
three to four times a year (4-6 weeks per time), and has some of the most
noticable effects of any astrological event. When Mercury is retrograde
(especially as it turns retro) communication faculties slow down, we become
more reflective, and communications in general falter. This does not have to
be such a negative period so long as you don't try to push..push..push
everything through. Try to allow extra time, and be content to let things
happen at their own pace. You don't want a tight schedule when Mercury is
retrograde.
<< Saturday 4 May >>
Our expansive tendencies in relationships begins to settle back into a
period of consolidation today as Jupiter at 17Capricorn turns retrograde
until 03September. This is not the best period to buy a new house or
property, or to build additions onto your current property. Expansion of
any kind may not turn out as planned. Instead, attempt to complete and
consolidate current efforts in preparation for a new wave of expansion
beginning in September.
<< Tuesday 7 May >>
This should be an optimistic and happy day or two as the Sun at 17Taurus
trines Jupiter retrograde at 17Capricorn. With both in Earth signs our
practical outlook may get quite a boost. With Jupiter currently retrograde
we may end up a bit over-extended, but we should still take this aspect and
run with it! Throw a party, or at least attend one. This aspect is also
favorable for completing home renovations which never quite got finished.
<< Wednesday 8 May >>
Uranus turns retrograde today at 04Aquarius until 09October. During
this period our organization and self-discipline, though well-meaning, may
falter. There is a need to accept practical responsibilities. If they
are not dealt with effectively then sudden events may disrupt our life
which require change and adaptability.
This is an excellent time for practical creativity and our imaginative powers
as Mercury at 27Taurus trines Neptune at 27Capricorn. We may achieve harmony
through creative pursuits, or we may just enjoy daydreaming today.
Be careful to avoid accidents with cars or sharp objects today as Mars at
04Taurus squares Uranus at 04Aquarius.
---------------------
Moon's Fourth Quarter : Saturday 22 April - Saturday 29 April
---------------------
<< Tuesday 14 May >>
There may be active communications today as the Sun conjuncts
Mercury at 24Taurus. With this aspect in Taurus,
our interactions are likely to be slow and methodical.
With Mercury retrograde, no matter how slow we go, there is still
likely to be confusion and misinterpretation.
The next new Moon occurs in Taurus on May 17th. Until then ... adopt a
fresh exploratory Aries attitude to get up and get going in new and
exciting directions. Go for it!

Astrology Watch Highlights
==========================
The new moon on May 17th at 27Taurus (fixed earth) provides an opportunity
to initiate new projects on a firm and stable foundation. Since Taurus is
ruled by Venus, this could mean a new love relationship or new stability
within an existing relationship.
As a fixed sign, Taurus energies are stable; and as an earth sign energy
is expressed through tangible things rather than through emotions (water),
actions (fire), or ideas (air). Using Taurean influences, individuals
can enjoy gardening, fixing up a house, practical domestic tasks, secure love
relationships, and issues relating to assets and possessions. We should
guard against becoming too closed-minded, too stubborn, or too materialistic.
To maximize growth during this new moon cycle we should till soil and sow
seeds in our physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual gardens, thus
initiating germination of earthy and practical beginnings which can yield
future hardy growth. The same applies for flower or vegetable gardens.
--------------------
Moon's First Quarter : Friday 17 May - Saturday 25 May
--------------------
<< Saturday 18 May >>
Psychic energy is heightened today as the Sun at 27Taurus trines Neptune
at 27Capricorn. There is great potential for creating tangible results using
our imagination. Insights may be practical, yet daydreaming is likely. This
aspect can create a powerful climate for positive action and long-term change.
<< Sunday 19 May >>
We experience an urgency to organize (Saturn) novel (Uranus) ideas to
provide a framework for understanding them in unique ways as Saturn at
04Aries sextiles Uranus at 04Aquarius. This energy could bring abrupt
changes which redirect (Uranus) our current responsibilities (Saturn) or
impose additional responsibilities upon us. Saturn sextile Uranus often
results in the recognition of a mild conflict of principles, and a subsequent
release of tension. Often this is expressed as breaking away from burdens,
and letting go of those things which are holding you back ... and often
what is holding you back is a fear of change. This Saturn sextile Uranus
aspect will influence us off and on for a number of months.
Uranus is associated with progressive collective ideas and is expressed
through individual uniqueness (or eccentricity), novel or insightful ideas,
and unexpected changes or disruptions which may erupt at any time. Uranus
disruptions are often initially deemed harmful, yet they invariably result in
more individual freedom, and are often understood in retrospect as changes
required for continued growth. Saturn enforces structure and imposes
boundaries. Saturn is a relentless disciplinarian, forcing people to face
their fears and accept their responsibilities. Feelings of guilt are
strongly associated with Saturn. Few people "enjoy" Saturn aspects/transits,
yet these hold the events which impart independence, strength of character,
values, and maturity. This Saturn/Uranus aspect will challenge us to
radically and courageously spread enlightening information. One key bit of
advice is not to pre-format our inspirations into a form currently known to
us, but allow them to establish their own form.
<< Monday 20 May >>
Venus at 28Gemini turns retrograde today until 02July. This is not the
best time to get married or to redecorate since we are likely to be unclear
about our values, tastes and affections. Avoid drastic cosmetic or decorative
changes such as punk hairdos, new clothes which make a fashion statement, or
new living room furniture during this time. Take this time to reflect on
those things that you truly value, and to winnow out things which you may
have valued in the past but don't value anymore.
The Sun transitions from Taurus (fixed earth) to Gemini (mutable air) today
for a stay until 20June, ushering in the mutable or changable portion of the
Spring season. The following chart highlights this sun-sign transition.
Taurus Gemini
---------- ----------
Duality Feminine Masculine
Element Earth Air
Quality Fixed Mutable
Keyword 'I Have' 'I Think'
Polarity Scorpio Sagittarius
Body Parts Neck,Throat Hands,Arms,Lungs
Animals Cattle Bright birds, butterflies
The Sun in Gemini indicates a more mental and somewhat scattered energy which
is expressed through the communication of ideas, compared to the stable and
grounded energy associated with the Sun in Taurus. Gemini is known for
superficiality, but also for intellect, wit, charm, and twins.
<< Wednesday 22 May >>
Remain flexible today as the Sun at 01Gemini opposes Pluto at 01Sagittarius.
This aspect may indicate trouble with friends, lovers or authority figures
due to stubborness and not allowing others to have their say. Secrets may
come out due to the ego and honesty of the Sun opposing the secrecy and
keep-everything-under-wraps attitude of Pluto. If you make the mistake of
making someone really angry today (by revealing their secrets!?!), then they
may remember it for a very long time.

We may experience steadfast progress on projects at work or at home today
as Mars at 17Taurus trines Jupiter at 17Capricorn. Our desires and ego
concerns may be pleasantly satisfied.
We enjoy an orderly state of mind and self-discipline which is excellent
for energetic and constructive work as the Sun at 04Gemini sextiles Saturn
at 04Aries. This aspect confers constructive ambition, good organization,
and a mature attitude. This is a very favorable time for important
communications with those in power. We are likely to make steady progress
toward goals, and enjoy an enhanced sense of dignity. Some initiative and
patience may be required in order to reap the benefits of this aspect.
Intuitive, original, and eccentric actions are encouraged today as the Sun
at 04Gemini trines Uranus at 04Aquarius. We are likely to express a strong
desire for independence. Practical science and electronics are favored.
<< Monday 27 May >>
Mercury at 19Taurus turns to direct motion today which will gradually
allow communications to flow more smoothly, and will reduce the effects
of distractive interruptions.
<< Wednesday 29 May >>
Our mind and communication faculties can be quick today as Mercury
conjuncts Mars at 20Taurus. Our active mind should be able to get points
across easily. Aggressive communications may ensue, yet expressions of
practicality may allow them to be resolved smoothly.
--------------------
Moon's Third Quarter : Saturday 01 June - Saturday 08 June
--------------------
<< Saturday 01 June >>
The Moon is full today with the Moon at 11Sagittarius opposing the Sun at
11Gemini. This should be an active and fun full Moon,although possibly a
bit manic. Be careful not to talk without considering how it will be
received, and don't get in over your head with your flirtations. Other than
that, enjoy the heightened activity level, and have fun.
Notice that due to the preponderance of slow-moving retrograde planets
there are no aspects between planets during this third quarter Moon.
While the enhanced energy of planetary aspects do not contribute to our
activities this week, the lower energy level is perfect for the
re-evaluation of our current directions which the retrograde planets suggest.
---------------------
Moon's Fourth Quarter : Saturday 08 June - Saturday 15 June
---------------------
<< Saturday 08 June >>
Our intuitive and imaginative faculties will be stimulated today as Mars at
27Taurus trines Neptune at 27Capricorn. At this time, we are more likely to
understand what has to be done and how to go about doing it. We can
experience harmony through the expression of deeper desires. This aspect is
excellent for energetic expression of creativity through performings arts,
dancing, or spiritual healing.
<< Monday 10 June >>
As the Sun conjuncts Venus at 20Gemini we are likely to feel good in a
party sort of way. Our heightened fashion sense can help us to look our
best, and with Gemini flirtations rampant, we may feel very desirable.
Enjoy it, but try to dig beneath superficial appearances to expose deeper
feelings and values. We may express more generosity and affection now,
and our relationships are likely to reciprocate.
<< Tuesday 11 June >>
This is an excellent time for practical creativity and our imaginative powers
as Mercury at 27Taurus trines Neptune at 27Capricorn. We may achieve harmony
through creative pursuits, or we may just enjoy daydreaming today.
<< Wednesday 12 June >>
Mars enters Gemini today for a stay until 25July. During this transit
the tempo of our lives may pick up considerably and our energy level will
increase. There may be possible conflicts with neighbors or relatives, yet
there is a great potential for cooperative energies to accomplish a great deal
during this time. People may identify too strongly with their beliefs, and
simple disagreement may be interpretted as a challenge to personal beliefs.
People may tend to be argumentative, so be careful not to get involved in
pointless arguments. This can be a good time to "sell" new ideas, so long as
you don't attack others with them, and it is an excellent time for vigorous
and diligent mental work.
<< Thursday 13 June >>
Mercury enters its own sign Gemini today for a stay until 02July. With
Mercury in Gemini our thinking is active and versatile yet scattered, and
we may be very humorous and witty. Our thoughts may be flighty, making
concentration on a single goal difficult, yet we may be able to make progress
on several tasks in parallel. Manual and verbal dexterity is enhanced.
Mercury in talkative, quick-thinking Gemini is great for learning new things
or adapting to new ways of thinking.
We may be restless and have a strong desire for heavy-handed reform as
Mars at 01Gemini opposes Pluto at 01Sagittarius. We may adopt aggressive and
autocratic attitudes which lead to conflicts and power struggles over
professional affairs, insurance, sexual jealosy, taxes or alimony.
There is also an increased potential for acute injury, so drive carefully.
Some form of regeneration is called for in sexual, personal, or business
relationships. As a positive expression, this aspect may provide vast
resources of energy for constructive accomplishments when cooperating with
others, provided that the energy is controlled. Be especially careful not
to coerce others, and not to be coerced by them.
<< Friday 14 June >>
Keep an open mind to revolutionary ideas today as Mercury at 01Gemini
opposes Pluto at 01Sagittarius. Upsetting events may occur, possibly during
travel, which force a reform of our regular thought structures, but we may
have needed a bit of adjustment. We can delve to the roots of problems,
but attempts to persuade others could result in conflicts.
<< Saturday 15 June >>
Our mind and communication faculties can be lightning quick today as Mercury
conjuncts Mars at 02Gemini. Our highly active mind should be able to get
points across easily and quickly. Agressive communications may ensue, yet
are likely to be resolved smoothly with flexible Gemini communications.
The next new Moon occurs in Gemini on June 15th. Until then ... establish
your personal stability through Taurean influences, and then shift into
the flighty world of Gemini where new ideas can be loads of fun!

| 672.237 | Hopefully the Watch has served a purpose ... | DKAS::DOLLIVER | The Watcher ... | Fri Jun 14 1996 12:51 | 47 |
| To all who have followed the monthly Astrology Watch postings :
Unfortunately I will be unable to continue these postings in the future.
While I expect to still be a Digital employee for a month or so, I will
then be moving to another position ... hopefully a positive move for me.
Amazingly I am not being laid-off, even though there have been at least
two very close calls over the past year.
I hope that these Astrology Watch postings have served as an appropriate
introduction to Astrology for many people. These day-to-day planetary
aspects and zodiac signs/transits are of special interest to me, while
my wife Lisa places more emphasis on natal chart analysis, and transiting
aspects to natal chart positions. Obviously I would need everyone's natal
chart to provide this type of interpretation, and although our collection of
friends' charts is growing significantly, I don't have enough disk space
at home to store a chart for everybody ;-}
While I feel that the Astrology Watch material is a reasonable introduction,
I would like to say that this material is still too general to have direct
predictive value for everyone. While Lisa can confront someone who has
Neptune (confusion) in the 3rd house (siblings) with a question about
whether their brothers and sisters are not actually their real biological
siblings (which was true), and many other subtle personal observations,
this level of specificity is not possible through the Astrology Watch format.
I will make a final recommendation to all who would like to continue their
interest in this type of material to subscribe to the Mountain Astrologer.
This publication has a section which covers essentially the same material
as has been presented here, and a wealth of other information to boot.
Oh, and _any_ book by Robert Hand ... we think he is the best around.
In a prior decision of mine to stay at DEC, DejaVu was a significant
consideration (along with UFO), as I feel that it is critical to stay
abreast of all current developments in both areas. I would like to thank
all contributors to this Notes file for the varied information which you
have shared. It has certainly been appreciated by me!
I will definitely say another good-bye to DejaVu'ers before I go, and
fill you in on some of the particulars of my transition. While it
seems to be getting a bit quiet in here, I think that the next year or
two may provide some new and exciting events which could light a fire
under all of our butts, and spark new areas of exploration for us all.
Wishing you all well,
Namasthe,
Todd and Lisa

Thank you so much for all that you and Lisa have done for us all here
over the years, Todd.
I'm going to definitely miss your contributions. Your writeups have
been so helpful to me, and have provided insights when my life would
suddenly turn upside-down for no apparent reason. (;^)
Best to you and Lisa always,
Cindy
