AQUARIUS
NEW MOON REPORT
January
23, 2012 to
February 22, 2012
The New
Moon on January 23 happens at 2 degrees 42 minutes Aquarius. Aquarius is
the Sign of independence and rebellion. It is the Sign of sudden and
unexpected change. It is fixed air and therefore intellectual and
stubborn with a touch of genius. It is electric and explosive in nature
and rules over flashes of lightning as well as flashes of inspiration.
Uranus rules Aquarius and puts the accent on change, independence, upsets, earthquakes
and acts of rebellion. Last year's Aquarian New Moon was closely
conjunct the Planet of war and violence, Mars, and together they
heralded in what is now referred to as the "Arab Spring". A month later
Uranus moved into Aries (the Sign ruled by Mars) for the first time
since 1928. On that day a devastating earthquake hit Japan. This year's
Aquarian New Moon is much less violent, but will still bring change and
rebellion on some level. Uranus is still in Aries and will remain there
until 2018.
Aquarius has to do with science, technology, "new age
thought" and the future. It is the Sign of groups, organizations and
friends. It rules over astrology, networks and computers. The oldest
computer ever discovered was the Antikythera mechanism and was built
around 100 BC. It was a mechanical computer used by ancient astrologers
to quickly determine horoscopes and zodiacal ingresses. As we begin this
2100 year cycle that we call the Age of Aquarius, all of these things
become part of humanity's newest evolutionary step.
Where Is The
New Moon In Your Chart?
Wherever 2
degrees 42 minutes of Aquarius is in your horoscopes shows where your attitude toward
technology, progress and change will be tested or rewarded now. Friends
and networking can provide the help and
challenges we need to make use of this time to our own personal advantage.
Remember that during this Lunar month, keep your mind on the future.

There are two basic birth charts we look at in astrology. One is the solar
chart and is based on our Sun Sign. This interpretation looks at
everything from our individual Sun's point of view. Therefore, it gives
a reading based more on the inner personality or "spirit".
The natal chart is based on the degree of the zodiac on the
eastern horizon at the exact moment and place of birth. This degree is called your Ascendant. This
natal chart is earth oriented and based on the outer or physical
personality. This chart is more
helpful in dealing with "life here on earth".
When looking at any "Sun Sign" type readings (like this), you should
always look for your
Ascendant
(if you know it) as well as your Sun sign.
If you don't know your Ascendant, drop me a
note with your birth info
(exact time, place and birth date) and I'd be glad to let you know for
free.

Aries -
With Aquarius on your 11th House of groups, organizations and friends,
you like independent and even kooky type friends. Aquarians bring
excitement into your life and often change to your future. Your
friends are likely to be computer savvy and may have interests in such
things as the internet and electronics. New friends are likely during
this New Moon cycle.
Uranus in
your Sign since March 11, 2011 gives a personal desire for change. For
some it gives a rebellious attitude or a drive for independence, while
others are pushed in a humanitarian direction. You are being drawn
more to these Aquarian energies in a big way until March of 2019.
However it comes out in your life, when it is finished you will be a
different person.
Taurus - Aquarius rules your 10th House. Prestige and honor is
always tied to groups, organizations and friends. Career or profession
may involve technology or "New Age" activities. With the symbolism of
Aquarius at the top of your chart, you could receive notoriety as a
reformer or people organizer. You are known for your independence and
the friends you acquire. As this New Moon cycle kicks in, you are
likely to rub shoulders or seek advice from Aquarian type authority
figures - astrologers, web masters, electricians, scientists, computer
professionals, etc.
Jupiter,
the largest planet, moved into your Sign on June 4th, 2011. This is
usually important and beneficial and will last for a year. It gives a generous attitude and a
feeling of optimism. You feel a need to expand on some level, like
through travel, higher education or even a religious experience. For
some it will bring a closer relationship with large animals,
foreigners and the legal system. Jupiter will be in your Sign until
June 11, 2012.
Gemini - Aquarius
is always in Gemini's 9th House of long distant travel, in-laws, nature,
higher knowledge and the laws of man and the Laws of God. You naturally
have friends who travel or who live in a more natural habitat or in a
foreign land. You want your friends to have the same basic philosophy as
you, but it rarely happens. You can be quite the rebel in this area.
During this lunar month you may take a college class or some
correspondence course. Unexpected long distant trips are possible. You
are likely to have some interaction with professors, religious leaders,
travelers, foreigners, in-laws or lawyers.
Early June of 2011 Jupiter moved into Taurus, your Sign's
12th House. Therefore among other things, during this 12 month transit
from June 2011 to June 2012, you can gain through your spiritual values
and through helping others - especially distant
people or "foreigners".
Cancer - The 8th House of transformation and regeneration is home
base for Aquarius in your horoscope. Transformation and rebirth come
through your ability to deal with groups, friends and children's
partners. The New Moon here in the 8th House emphasizes your interpersonal
relationships with others. This includes financial wheeling and dealing
as well as sexual relationships with others. Psychic connections and a
sense of deja vu is stronger now. Interest in reincarnation or other
life and death philosophies is more likely. Karmic interaction with
friends from past lives is accented. Take notice of those you meet during
this lunar month - especially online or through groups or
organizations.
In March of last year Uranus began to influence your 10th House as it
moved into Aries. It will remain in Aries for 8 years. This means you
are beginning to see changes in your ambitions or your career direction.
Friends or your relationships with friends are somehow elevated to a
high place in your life. This is a good time to be known for the friends
you keep or to work for friends. Your honor and prestige are influenced by
Aquarian, new age, modern type experiences. Computers or the internet may
enhance your career during this 8 year cycle. You could be seen as a
professional computer or electronics person or seek their advice.
Leo
-
The new moon in your Aquarian 7th House is all about
relationships. It has to do with opponents and complimentary opposites.
This area encompasses best partners, best friends, best lovers as well
as
best opponents and even best enemies. Because it is your opposite sign,
your relations with these people are always Aquarian in nature. In other
words, you are likely to socialize with groups, organizations and
friends, and through these type situations you meet your partner. One on one associations with
independent or even rebellious type people are probable now. You may feel like a lot of these people are being contrary, but
these are just the kind you signed up to be with in
this life! Your job this lunar month should be to find balance and
harmony with others in an exciting, disruptive or unusual way.
|
Leo's have
had Jupiter hovering at the top of their charts since June 2011. This
denotes benefits and opportunities tied to honor and prestige. It can be
a time when you can "do no wrong" where profession and
authority figures are concerned. In June
of 2012 it leaves your 10th House of career and enters your 11th house
of friends.
Virgo - The 6th House is your Aquarian House and this is where
you deal with health and service related activities. During this lunar
month, service and health may involve groups, organizations and
friends. It may be that your work or health puts you in touch with
helpful groups or even new friends. Work or health may require
networking or computer use. You may seek the advice of an astrologer
or some other Aquarian type expert. Independence and opportunities for
change can come through the service you perform or through health
related activities. The nervous system can be an area of concern in
the body.
On November 11, 2011 Mars moved into your Sign where it
will remain until July 2012. This gives added
strength and energy to everything "Virgo". Physical work is a natural
outlet for this energy. If that doesn't sound like much fun, think of it
as a time when you will feel stronger and able to put more muscle into
your work. The alternative is that you may have to deal with health
issues relating to fevers, burns, cuts or abrasions. Angry co-workers,
wild animals, pet bites and any variety of pests are a few more Mars in
Virgo type things.
Libra - With
Aquarius on your 5th House cusp, you're ready to have fun and let the
creative juices flow. Children in your life and your relationship with
them are accented. The child side of your own personality needs to
express itself in some way - maybe through groups, organizations and
friends. The Aquarian influence suggests computers, electronics or
astrology may be tied to your love, creativity, recreation and
children.
As Uranus moved into Aries last year in March, changes
started to occur in the area of partners and your social life. Expect "unexpected" events that involve
other people in your life. Children may bring disruption into your
marriage or with partners. On another level this means that excitement,
fun, romance and creativity enter into your marriage and your
relationships in general. This represents a period in your life that
lasts 8 years and brings lots of new interesting people into your
life. Uranus rules Aquarius on your 5th house cusp and brings artistic
creative people into your life through your partner or other people.
This could even indicate some kind of partnership with children. Electronics,
computers or science are likely to be tied in with this Uranian energy.
Scorpio - The New Moon in your Aquarian 4th House is about your
home base and the domestic side of life. Aquarian type people and
events are drawn to your home now. You may have unexpected
company in the home. Friends from the past may drop in for a
visit. Your mother's groups, organizations and friends are more
important. The family and your genealogy is
accentuated. It is a good time to revisit old friends. Computers,
electricity and excitement or change are all tied to home and domestic
activities. Astrology may even play a part in home, family or domestic
events.
Jupiter has been moving through your 7th House of personal
relationships since June of 2011, and it will remain there until June
of 2012. This tends to bring you in touch with other people who are
"larger than life" in some way. This may just mean big people, but
gurus, philosophers, professors, judges and political type people fit
this kind of energy. On another level this brings you (and/or your
partner) into contact with travelers or foreigners. Money or values
are important through these people.
Sagittarius - Aquarius is
on the cusp of your 3rd House of communication, education and
transportation. This is a good time to get out of the house and seize
opportunities in your neighborhood, to make friends or join groups.
It's a good time for a short road trip with friends. Excitement and
change are on your mind. This area of the horoscope has to do with
those who are close to you or "local" in some way. Communicate with
relatives, siblings and neighbors during this lunar cycle. You could be
involved in community activities or be active in the local
humanitarian organizations.
Networking in the community or online is accented. All forms of
electronic communication and information are more important now. As
Uranus continues its 8 year trek through your 5th House, close friends
bring excitement, computers, astrology and some sense of networking to
your area of love, creativity and fun.
Capricorn - With Aquarius on your 2nd House, your values and
personal worth is tied to groups, organizations and friends. The
emphasis is on the future where your own personal resources are
concerned. Aquarian type people will always have a strong influence on
your possessions and finances. The value you put on friends is
accented this lunar month. Money and possessions can come
through networking, astrology and computers. You may invest in electronics or
computer technology. At this time of year, you always tend to spend
money on friends and organizations and computer stuff.
Since your
ruling Planet, Saturn, is in Libra now, this is a good time to take
charge, be in control and reach for the stars. Your ambitions and desire
to lead are becoming stronger. It is a time to follow the rules and be
the professional. You could hone your diplomatic skills as a public leader. On some level you are also
learning about business relationships or partnerships with people in
high places. Transformations in business, leadership and ambition are important for you as Pluto moves through Capricorn from
January 2008 until March 23, 2023.
Aquarius - This
is your time of the year as the Sun moves through your 1st House. You
are inspired to come out of the cave you've been in for weeks and be
more sociable. The world needs you and your social vision. You are the
future and others can sense it. It is time to be the visionary we all
need. Your humanitarian side is activated now and you need to express
that vision. Your love of independence and
rebellion needs an outlet now. The last few weeks before your
birthday were likely very sensitive. Prejudiced or intolerant
attitudes need to be let go, so you can do what Aquarians do best.
Have a party with your friends and celebrate your birthday like new
years day and always look to the future.
Pisces -
Aquarius lives in your 12th House and requires sacrifice on your part.
You need to relate to your friends in a very spiritual way. Karmic
relationships are very important to your personal growth and spiritual
development this lunar month. Secrets, sorrows or mysteries involving
friends or children's partners are part of this new moon energy. The
month before your birthday can be a difficult time. You may be
required to sacrifice for others or serve others from behind the
scenes or in a volunteer type situation. You may be drawn to groups,
organizations or friends at this time for consolation, isolation and meditation.
Sacrifices and behind the scenes type activities involve groups or friends.
Powerful things are happening in your life Pisces. Neptune, your
ruling Planet, is moving into your Sign. It will be in Pisces until
2026. Neptune flows easiest in Pisces. All things Pisces are more
sensitive and "tuned in" for everyone during this long cycle. Neptune
is illusive and rules over things like liquid, water, oil and gasses.
Water will flow. It is the Planet of the spiritual world and not the
material. Its strengths are in compassion, understanding and self
sacrifice. The imagination and fantasy is emphasized. It is good for
the creative, artistic mind. It is also excellent for the mystical,
magical, musical side of life. Just remember to keep one foot in the
real world.

November 24,
2011 thru May 20, 2012
Solar
Eclipse
On November 24, 2011 the Sun and Moon come together at 2
degrees 37 minutes of
Sagittarius
to create the 4th Solar Eclipse
of 2011. If you are born close to this date or have important points in
your horoscope around this degree, you will feel its effects more
intensely. It will begin to "kick in" around the full moon on November 10.
The nature of any Solar Eclipse implies
a "death and rebirth" or a transformational
cycle in life. The
last Solar Eclipse in July at 9 degrees Cancer
had to do with letting go of the past in some way. It was tied in with
the home, land and emotional side of life. This new Sagittarian Solar
Eclipse will bring with it transformation that involves expanding your
personal horizons in some way. This Solar Eclipse cycle lasts until the
Gemini Solar Eclipse on May 20, 2012.
Sagittarius is about expansion on all levels. It emphasizes freedom,
travel and dealing with foreign people and foreign places. It is about
expanding the mind through higher education. It has to do with other
people's ideas and other people's vehicles. It also has to do with other
people's relatives, in-laws and grandchildren. Sagittarius rules over
the higher laws of man like the judicial system and the higher laws of
God like religion and philosophy. This Solar Eclipse should bring about
changes or transformations into peoples lives that involve these things.
Lives can be changed by legal situations or by moving to a distant place
or going to a new church or college. A grandchild may change the life
for some. Of course, foreign affairs and political upheaval is also
suggested. Expand your horizons during this cycle and think big.
Planetary Aspects
This Solar Eclipse forms a 6th House type 150 degree quincunx to its
ruling Planet, Jupiter, in Taurus. This seems to say let's focus this
transformative energy on work and financial matters in a big or more
international way. Spend money on jobs and health. Foreign work or
travel could be financially rewarding now.
This Sagittarian Solar Eclipse forms a 5th House trine to Uranus in
Aries and a 10th House square to Aries ruler, Mars. This
focuses on a physical fiery creative genius and notoriety or fame for
this masculine side of life. Mars is also in harmonious trine to Pluto
and encourages the aggressive side with great energy and ambitious
pioneering courage. This energy works well with the ability to tear down
the old and rebuild the new. This can be painful for those who fear
change, but it is needed on some level. It also represents a symbolic
resurrection of dead leaders.
The Solar Eclipse cycle lasts until the next Solar Eclipse. Therefore
this Sagittarian Solar Eclipse will be in effect until May 20, 2012. Its
affect will be felt for each of us in the House and Sign in our charts
that it occurs. It generally shows what area of life needs some
adjustment or transformation.

There are two basic birth charts we look at in astrology. One is the
solar chart and is based on our Sun Sign. This interpretation looks at
everything from our individual Sun's point of view. Therefore, it gives
a reading based more on the inner personality or "spirit".
The natal chart is based on the degree of the zodiac on the eastern
horizon at the exact moment and place of birth. This degree is called
your Ascendant. This natal chart is earth oriented and based on the
outer or physical personality. This chart is more helpful in dealing
with "life here on earth".
When looking at any "Sun Sign" type readings (like this), you should

(if you know it) as well as your Sun sign.
If you don't know your Ascendant, drop me a
note with your birth info
(exact time, place and birth date) and I'd be glad to let you know for

^_`abcdefghi
ARIES - The
Sagittarian Solar Eclipse happens in your 9th House, and therefore can
bring transformation to your more philosophical side of life. This
could involve your religion, your politics or your attitude toward the
legal system. For Aries, this area of the chart has to do with foreign
religions and foreign politics. Long distant travel, in-laws and
grandchildren are all possible outlets for this eclipse cycle.
Jupiter
rules this eclipse cycle and you have Jupiter moving through your
Taurus 2nd House. This ties in your personal worth and the things you
value in life with this Sagittarian influence. Jupiter can bring money
or possessions through the law or through foreign people or places.
Religion, publications and travel can be sources of income now through
Jupiter.
TAURUS - You have
Sagittarius on your 8th House cusp. This area of the horoscope has to do
with secrets, financial wheeling and dealing, other people's resources
and all death/rebirth processes. It rules over sharing or joining
resources with others. This covers sex, death, taxes and inheritances.
When you add the meaning of the Sagittarian Solar Eclipse, you can
experience things like transformation and regeneration through travel,
law, publications, religion and exposure to foreign ideas or values. You may have to deal
with possessions or inheritance that are tied to travel, in-laws
or lawyers. It could be a time to let go or end some deal that involves
religion, law or in-laws. This can be a more psychic time in your life
and may tend to stir up karmic conditions. You could buy or sell
something that involves travel, religion, publications, higher education
or something that requires a lawyer.
GEMINI
- The Sagittarian Solar
Eclipse is in your 7th House and is all about
relationships and partners for the next 6 months or so. Gemini always
brings out the Sagittarian qualities in other people, but this eclipse
will emphasize this energy with more intensity. Long distant
relationships may undergo some kind of death and rebirth. Relationships
or partnerships with in-laws, lawyers or people who are culturally different
may come to an end or undergo some transformation between now and May
2012. During this 6 month eclipse cycle your partner or other people in
your personal life may go through some intense transitions or meltdowns
that relate to their religion, philosophy or to some legal situation.
Politics or religious beliefs could even bring about a breakup in
relations with others.
As Uranus backs up to the 0 degree of Aries, it is at the same place it
was in March when the earthquake in Japan occurred. For Gemini, this is
in the 11th House of friends and the future. Uranus is the planet of
earthquakes, symbolic or otherwise. For you this means that your friends and future hopes and wishes
are being "shaken". It could mean a change in friends as well as
a change in your
future.
CANCER - The Sagittarian Solar Eclipse is in your 6th House of
health and service related activities. This means that on some level you
always relate Sagittarius to your work and health. It may be that you
work with foreigners or they serve you in some way. Maybe you just enjoy
foreign restaurants. You may work in a business that is tied to travel
or the judicial system. When combined with the Solar Eclipse this can
mean a change in your work environment or a change in health. In the
body the liver and hips are accented.
|
Uranus is at the very top of your
chart and suggests a change in career or some disruption involving your
honor and prestige. Intense relationships with friends or some business
relationship can bring about a change to your life and your future.
LEO
- Like you, Sagittarius is
a fire Sign and falls on your 5th House cusp. This area of the chart
symbolizes the child of the mind as well as the child of the body. This
means the Solar Eclipse may provide you with some needed transformation
where your creativity is concerned. For some, it could mean a pregnancy.
For others, it could be inspiration to do something in life that is
dramatic and transformative. The 5th House Sagittarian vibration is tied to
the creative expression. It's natural for a Aries to express their artistic
or creative side in a expansive, larger than life type of way. This
could involve entertaining others
in an outdoor venue or even a more international event. Fun,
recreation, creativity, gambling, speculation and children are tied to
nature and the travel or "long distant" side of life. This can be a very
powerful, transformational time that will last until May 20, 2012.
VIRGO
-
You have Sagittarius ruling your 4th House, and therefore you project
its vibration to the domestic or "mother" side of life. In other
words, you probably see your mother (or parent figure) involved in
travel, foreign experiences, the legal field, or religion. This parent
could be political or tied to higher education in some way. These are
outlets for the Sagittarian influence. On another level your parents
could be outdoor lovers or nature oriented. You may live a long way
from your place of birth or from your family. This Solar Eclipse cycle
is stirring up this area of your life. Some transformational or death
and rebirth type of energy is now influencing these things in your
life during this 6 month period that lasts until May 20, 2012. On
a more personal level you are apt to be more energetic or even more
militant in some way due to Mars being in your Sign. It should be a
good time for physical activity and hard work.
LIBRA
-
Sagittarius
rules your 3rd House. With the Solar Eclipse here, the people
"closest" are crucial in your life for some reason. This generally
means siblings, roommates, neighbors and very close friends are more
important. The 3rd House also accents your community, your
neighborhood and all that is "local" in some way. It is also the area
of the chart that has to do with communication, education and
transportation. The Sagittarian Solar Eclipse tends to "stir in" more
expansive type experiences like foreign issues and even political or
legal matters with these 3rd House energies. For some, this may mean
travel arrangements
with people close will be important. Community college fits this
energy. Relatives, neighbors or roommates may travel more over this 6 month period. You may take
up an intellectual interest in travel, law, religion, politics or
philosophy.
SCORPIO - The
Sagittarian Eclipse in your 2nd House puts the emphasis on your
finances, your possessions and your purchases. Of course, when tied to
Sagittarius you could spend
your personal resources on cultural objects, politics, travel or higher
education. You may make some changes
that increase your personal value. You may buy, sell or trade foreign
things now. Letting go of something valuable and close to your heart
is another outlet for this eclipse cycle which lasts until May 20, 2012.
Finances may be affected or even transformed by legal situations,
college or travel. The value of Sagittarian things are somehow a part of this eclipse cycle for you. With the Solar Eclipse here, significant
opportunities for financial transformation are possible.
SAGITTARIUS - This eclipse energy is
all about your Sign, and therefore brings with it a 1st House symbolism
which is everything that is most personal to you.
During
this Solar Eclipse cycle,
you are
likely to experience a personal transformation of some kind. This
may have to do with travel, education or legal dealings. Your religious
beliefs, politics or your
relationship with in-laws or grandchildren could be part of this
transition.
You identify in a powerful way with these Sagittarian qualities and
others are attracted to these things throughout this Solar Eclipse
cycle. You may be seen as the grandparent, the politician, the lawyer,
the guru or the priest. You are probably associated with higher
knowledge in some way. You may act as the traveler, the foreigner
or the cultural expert. In the physical body, Sagittarius rules the
liver and the hips.
CAPRICORN - The Sagittarian Solar Eclipse is in your 12th house
which has to do with
personal humility, compassion and self sacrifice. Other people's work
and health may also play a big part in this 6 month cycle that begins on
the 10th of November and lasts until May 20, 2012. Your inner guides are activated by this eclipse.
Flashes of inspiration or intuition are likely. Your dream state is very
powerful now. Your personal karma is
at work, but also your psychic attachment to far off places. Political,
religious or foreign issues that have not been dealt with properly are
likely to come back to haunt you, while at the same time, your
"guardian angel" is also there to help guide you if you are open. This
is a time to deal more with the spiritual side than with the material
or physical side. You are more sensitive to things pertaining to
grandchildren, in-laws and the philosophical side of life. You may experience some sacrifice or sorrow in this area.
AQUARIUS - The Sagittarian Solar Eclipse will stir things up in
your 11th House until the next Solar Eclipse on May 20, 2012. The 11th
House is traditionally known as "groups, organizations and friends -
hopes and wishes for the future". It encompasses New Age philosophy,
as well as all technology and networking. When combined with the
Sagittarian Solar Eclipse it has to do with future plans concerning
travel, legal situations, foreigners, religion, education and cultural
organizations. Friends and their grandchildren, in-laws
or their education may undergo some transformation. Friends may have
intense experiences with foreigners, politicians or lawyers.
As your
ruling Planet, Uranus, moves into Aries this year, changes in those
closest to you are accented. This could be siblings, close friends,
relatives or neighbors taking on an Aquarian symbolism. They may seem
more independent, exciting or unusual in some way - kind of like you!
PISCES - This
Sagittarian
Solar Eclipse is at the top of your horoscope in the 10th House. This
is the area of the chart that accents career, honor and prestige. This
can be a positive time if you are ambitious and have been following
the rules. It can be a time of powerful transformation. Honor and
prestige comes from your higher knowledge, your legal expertise or the
travel side of life. Foreign experience or political activity
can increase your fame (or your infamy). If you've worked hard and
done well in the past, now is the time for accolades and honor. If
you've taken shortcuts or have been dishonorable, then this eclipse
cycle can bring things back to bite you now. For the most part this
should be a good time if notoriety is what you want. On another level
this Sagittarian vibration is projected toward authority figures in
your life. Maybe a supervisor in your life moves far away or is
replaced by a foreigner. Political leaders are likely to be more
important for some reason.

Saturn in Libra
July 21, 2010 to October 5,
2012
Saturn re-enters Libra on July 21, 2010 and remains in its
"Exalted Sign" until October 5, 2012. Saturn is comfortable in Libra due to this exalted position,
but it is never easy. It demands cooperation with others. As Saturn moves
into Libra, relationships must be taken seriously. In some cases you might even say
relationships need to be more business like. This is a time to follow the
rules where relationships and marriage are concerned. Commitments like the
so-called "covenant marriages" may become more in vogue. Saturn is the
teacher and strict disciplinarian and is tied to karma and life's lessons.
One of it's main lessons is to teach us to grow up and be responsible. In
Libra the lessons involve relationships. Patience and responsibility are
needed for partnerships to survive during this somewhat trying time. Strong
ties will bind, while weak ones may break.
Saturn is the Planet of governments, leaders and big
business. This could mean governments, religious leaders and corporations
become more involved in the rules and responsibilities of marriage. Gay
marriage is most likely to become a bigger issue. The business of weddings
should be accented more for some reason during this transit. Leader's
partners or their marriages are more important.
This is likely to be a time of important new business or
political partnerships. Diplomacy is needed and Saturn is there to help by
either laying down the law or taking some real leadership. This could be
very good for tough problems such as the Palestinian/Israeli stalemate and
the Iranian/Korean nuclear debate. Leaders have a chance to come together and find
positive compromise and cooperation.
Of course on a darker note, the passage of Saturn through
Libra can bring out stories of relationships that turn more to sadistic
imprisonment and spousal abuse. A twisted Saturn can give a desire for
complete control over others. Saturn in Libra can be the great diplomatic
leader or the slave master.
Where is Transiting Saturn In Your Life?
There are two basic charts we look at in astrology. One is the solar or
sunrise chart and is based on our Sun Sign. This interpretation looks at
everything from our individual Sun's point of view. Therefore, it gives
a reading based more on the inner personality or "spirit".
The natal or birth chart is based on the degree of the zodiac on the
eastern horizon at the exact moment and place of birth. This degree is called your Ascendant. This
natal chart is earth oriented and based on the outer or physical
personality. This chart is more
helpful in dealing with "life here on earth".
When looking at any "Sun Sign" type readings (like this), you should
always look for your
Ascendant
(if you know it) and then your Sun sign.
If you don't know your Ascendant, drop me a
note with your birth info
(exact time, place and birth date) and I'd be glad to let you know for
free.
ARIES - Saturn is moving through your opposite Sign,
Libra and therefore into your 7th House. This transit is all about relationships. Your marriage
partner, business partner and everyone else in your close personal social
sphere will seem to be more serious or business like. Partners may begin to
reflect your own personal ambitions in some way. Some relationships may seem
over bearing, hard or cold, but for some reason you seem to attract these
kind of people during this transit. Who knows, you could fall for your boss
or some other authority figure in your life. Your partner may be seen as an
authority figure or, it may mean that you will deal more with professionals
or authorities. With Pluto crossing into your 10th House beware of scandals.
There may be control issues to work out with certain people in your life,
but if your want to hold the relationship together, think compromise. Weak
or worn out relationships will not last.
TAURUS - Saturn is moving through your 6th House and
emphasizes a serious attitude toward health and work environment. Saturn
rules your Capricorn 9th House of expansion, in-laws and far off lands. Work or health
may require travel. You may actually
build or expand your work place with the service of a partner during this transit.
This is a time to put practical philosophy to work with the cooperation of
foreigners or professionals. Responsibilities involving in-laws, health
and/or long distances are highlighted in your life now. Relationships with
family members on the mothers side may become cold, burdensome or more
business like. Foreign officials may be trouble or your work may require
their assistance during this 6th House transit of Saturn through Libra.
Relationships with work and co-workers require responsibility, discipline
and control. Partners and health or work are accented.
GEMINI - Saturn in Libra moves through your 5th House
of recreation, creativity and children. Relationships with children are
usually tested at this time. Or, children and their relationships are being
tested. As a parent or guardian this can be a time of discipline/control
issues. Children may form partnerships with authority figures, or they may
have to deal with authority figures for other reasons. Saturn in your 5th
House could be you as a children's authority or your children seen as
authority figures. On another level you may see children becoming more
responsible or serious in their relationships. It may have to do with
children and business opportunities. A child may start a new business or
career, or you may get involved with children in some business partnership.
A child may become a parent, get married or be promoted. Saturn is the
builder so you may be involved in some creative construction project or
perhaps your children are building something.
CANCER - As Saturn moves into your 4th House of home,
family and mother figures in life, it ties in your Capricorn ruled 7th House
for the next two and a half years. The focus will tend to be on domestic
relationships and building a secure home base. Saturn is about structure and
construction. You and a partner may actually build a house during this
period, or you may somehow form a more structured, disciplined, domestic
life. Business and other responsibilities involving home, land and real
estate are part of this symbolism as well. Your home base may be more like a
business. These responsibilities may relate more toward family or mother
relationships. The mother's partner or associates may present some
obligations through your partner. The Libra and 7th House influence could
mean that a partner's family or mother may present limitations or karmic
conditions that test you. This is very much about forced balance and
diplomacy. If it seems your partner's career or attitude in general has been
in a downward spin, then as Saturn hits bottom in your 4th House
things generally change and take a slow but permanent upward turn.
LEO - Saturn moves into your Libra 3rd House. This
section of the horoscope has to do with communication, education and
transportation. It's influence also encompasses people close to you on some
level, like siblings, close friends, blood relatives and neighbors. Libra
accentuates relationships and balance (or imbalance) with these energies.
Saturn brings karmic lessons and responsibilities to this area of your life.
Saturn rules Leo's Capricorn 6th House so health issues or other problems to
overcome are tied in to the synthesis. Serious relationship problems
involving siblings or neighbors is one expression of this energy.
Responsibilities or problems
with other people's cars would fit this combination. Siblings with kidney (Libra) related health
problems may be of concern. You could start a business partnership with a close confidant or relative.
You may have more social responsibilities with relatives, close friends and neighbors.
You need to work
with siblings and neighbors in a fair and balanced way. The health of a father
figure may burden a close friend or relative.
VIRGO - Libra rules your 2nd House of personal values
and all that encompasses. It's your money, your self worth, your
material possessions and all that you value. Saturn brings a seriousness to
the mix. With Libra here you naturally value relationships and justice, but
now there's a heavy responsibility attached. You may even feel controlled or
limited financially by partners. Saturn rules your 5th House of recreation,
creativity and children. This could mean financial restrictions and
responsibilities that involve children and the justice system. On another level
this could mean teaching financial responsibility to children or gaining in
some way through children and their careers. For some Virgos financial
and/or business opportunities involving partners may come through art,
recreation, sports or land during this two and a half year transit. While
for others these things may become a real financial liability. Work with
others to find balance and harmony in financial affairs.
LIBRA - Saturn's entrance into your Sign gives
personal responsibility over other people in your life. You are the one in
charge now. Your organizational leadership ability will radiate in all you
do. You may become much more ambitious, and could be promoted, start a new
business or become a parent during this two and a half year cycle. Saturn
rules your Capricorn 4th House so home, land, family or parental
responsibilities are part of the energy involved. This may mean domestic
partners become more of a personal responsibility of some kind. When Saturn
moves into your 1st House, you take on a "Saturnian" look. In other words
people see you acting more Saturn like or even projecting a more Saturn like
image. This could be dressing more conservative or in black or dark colors.
You may grow a beard (not a good look for women) or go "Goth". You may
become the builder or architect in some symbolic way. You may be seen as the
authority figure or disciplinarian in the home, family or with the mother.
SCORPIO - Saturn is moving into your Libra 12th
House. This is usually about Karmic lessons involving relationships. People
who come into your life now are here to "teach" in some spiritual way. This
may not be easy and you may want to avoid all the responsibilities and
sacrifices that relationships seem to require. You may lose your ambition
(especially where relationships are concerned) and turn more to study and
learning. This is an excellent time to learn about "that which is hidden" or
subjects below the surface for most. Metaphysics and the occult are good
things to study. There is much power behind the scenes in the area of
volunteering and self sacrifice. Whatever major projects you begin during
this two and a half year cycle should be done with humility and without much
reward. This is a time for spiritual power and not physical or material.
Dealings with siblings, neighbors, roommates and authority figures may be
difficult. They may be hospitalized, arrested or deserve your sympathy for
some other reason like relationship problems.
SAGITTARIUS - As Saturn moves into and through your
Libra 11th House, friends and friendships take on a seriousness. You could
even organize a group, club or other organization. Friends and their
partners are more important. This could be that your friends become more
ambitious in some way. They may take on more responsibilities in their
relationships like getting married or divorced. Friends begin to take on a
Saturn look. They may be more business like or authoritarian. They may dress
in black or just become more conservative. Authority figures and
professionals may seem to infiltrate your group of friends in some way.
Saturn rules your 2nd House of personal resources. This can mean that your
financial aspirations or responsibilities are tied to friends in some way.
It may be that you invest time or money in friends or that you have a
business venture with friends. Personal values may be tested when it comes
to relationships and friends over the next two and a half years.
CAPRICORN - Saturn is your ruling Planet and it is
moving into its "home base", the 10th House. This is the very top
of the horoscope and is the domain of the Saturn mountain goat and in the
sign of partners and justice. The next two and a half years
should be a powerful time in your life. This represents reaching the top in
some way. It involves harmony and balance, relationships and partners and
your personal ambitions. You may be promoted to a higher place, start a business
partnership or take
control of your destiny in some other way. People who have worked hard to
reach this position will benefit most. Those who have taken shortcuts and
cheated their way to success may experience the fall due to an opponent or
partner. This has to do with
dealing with authority and taking responsibility in a balanced and just way.
Capricorns must learn to be disciplined and to follow the rules, for this is
their power. You will be known for these things in some kind of public way,
and when the
karmic lessons are learned and balance is achieved, you become the guru or teacher.
AQUARIUS - Saturn is moving into your Libra 9th House
and means that you are becoming more conservative or serious in your
political and religious leanings. The 9th is the House of the higher laws of
man and the Higher Laws of God. Therefore, it may mean that you begin to
take on responsibilities in your church or your political party. Be very
careful, because Saturn rules your 12th House of self-undoing. This seems to
reflect the extremist attitudes of certain religious and political
organizations these days. Inflexibility can be your downfall, and while
Saturn transits your 9th House, religion and politics provide the route. You
are likely to attract gurus, politicians and religious leaders who lead you down the wrong path. Look for those who are diplomatic,
those who make personal sacrifices and those willing to compromise
with understanding and compassion. These are your true spiritual leaders.
PISCES - Saturn is moving into your Libra 8th House of
death, taxes and other people's resources. There are apt to be heavy
responsibilities in these areas. Saturn rules your Capricorn 11th House of
friends and future. Friends may pass out of your life during this two and a
half year transit. Your future, as you plan it now, may change completely
during this cycle. You may go into a business venture with friends. Control
issues are likely where joint finances are concerned, so when sharing with
others make sure everyone knows the rules. Libra demands the scales be
balanced and everything equal. The partner and the father side of life is
tied in with death and inheritances. Partner's father may die or some
inheritance from the partner's father's side of the family. This is a time
to deal with government and finances. The government or large business is
involved with your insurance and taxes.
A Venus Rule
** For All Signs
**
As Venus crosses your Ascendant or Sun, it is most
powerful for personal attraction. If you begin something on that day,
the Venus energy will be with whatever you
started forever. Venus is about love and attraction, so if you
meet someone new on that day, it could be love at first sight. Or, if
you buy new clothes and wear them that day for the first time, you will
no doubt look great and will continue to look great every time you wear
those clothes. Get a new haircut on the day Venus crosses your Sun or
Ascendant and it will be a hit with others until you change it. Timing
is everything in astrology, and any time you begin something new a
horoscope for that event is set and in some symbolic way will "live"
forever.

NOTES
Pluto in Capricorn
Pluto entered Capricorn on the January 25, 2008.
Through it's normal periodic retrograde motion it moved back into
Sagittarius on June 13, 2008. On November 26,
2008 it moved back into Capricorn where it will transit until March
23, 2023. This 15 year transit combines some nasty energies. Pluto is the
ruler of Scorpio and is the god of the underworld. It is the planet of
terrorism, mass death, WMD's, financial manipulation, the devil and
all other under worldly type characters. Capricorn is the sign of
governments, leaders, big corporations, ambition, and control. When
you combine these two qualities, you get some pretty scary situations
and players in world politics.
On the other hand, Pluto represents power and
Capricorn rules the color "black". It doesn't take much to see this as
"black power". Here in the US we are seeing that symbolism take place
in a hopefully positive way with the historic election of a Barack
Obama. It is interesting that the last time this transit occurred, the
US became a country. Therefore, this transit represents a very fated
period in time for this country. This idea of black power and powerful
black leaders should be more prevalent in the world during Pluto's
transit through Capricorn.
Financial manipulation is much easier to comprehend
now that we can watch the "big collapse" live on TV every hour, on the
hour. Then, there is the obsession by many with the "one world
government" fear and that "mark of the beast" thing, which is now
beginning to look more and more likely. Unless we all belong to their
club, we won't be able to buy, sell or trade. There is some extremely
high level wheeling and dealing going on between world financial
leaders now as we dig our way out of the financial collapse promised
by Osama Bin Laden right after 911. I think GWB answered, "bring it
on".
The old rules and rulers are about to be
transformed. Pluto in Capricorn means a death and rebirth of world
structures, foundations and boundaries. Pluto may offer up some
extremely dangerous world leaders who are apt to use WMD's without
hesitation. This can be a time of assassinations of world
leaders and assassinations by world leaders.
We may have been given a hint as to what to expect
over the next 15 years. In January when Pluto dipped into Capricorn
for a few months, Benazir Bhutto was assassinated while running for a
high political office in Pakistan. The following unrest in the country
forced then leader Pervez Musharraf to resign peacefully.
Terror may rule or be used by rulers. Underground
terror of some kind is more likely. Pluto in Capricorn until 2023/2024 is a
time of the volcano, both symbolically and literally.
State sponsored terrorism was common the last time
Pluto moved into Capricorn between 1762 and 1778. This was the time of
the pirates. The USA was "born" during this period - July 4th 1776.
The biggest threat to trade was the Barbary Pirates who were backed by
North African Moslem countries. Our country has had trouble with
Islamic terrorism since the beginning.

MERCURY RETROGRADE
Mercury retrograde is a cycle
that occurs about 3 times a year for about 3 weeks each time. It is a time
when Mercury appears to slow to a stop over several days and then appears to
move backwards in the sky. It means that the symbolism related to Mercury,
like communication, information and transportation, has to be "revisited" on
some level. Plans that are made while Mercury is retrograde will have to be
modified or rewritten. Mail, email, telephone messages, etc. are likely to
be areas of confusion or frustration. Things get lost, machines break, light
bulbs burn out and anything related to cars can be a source of problems.
The
key to using this period in a positive way is to go back to things you've
set aside and take a second look. You may be able to see things in a
different light and fix past problems that you gave up on before. Go back
and edit that unfinished book or document. It is a good time for research
and doing the background work on some future project. It seems to be a good
time for long distant trips from which you want to return. Just make sure
you run through the check list before you leave.
The main thing to remember
is that during a Mercury retrograde cycle most things relating to new
beginnings will have to undergo some revision or be trashed all together.
Whenever possible, avoid finalizing plans or signing important papers during
these periods. Traveling or moving during a Mercury retrograde period means
you'll come back.

Don't
worry, your Sign hasn't changed!
Parke Kunkle is on the board of directors of the Minnesota Planetarium
Society and teaches astronomy. Recently he has stirred up a little
controversy just to get some publicity. Either that or he knows nothing
about astrology.
As Sir Isaac Newton replied to Hailey Comet discoverer who was questioning
Newton's belief in astrology, "Sir,
I have studied it, you have not". If Parke Kunkle actually studied
astrology, he would know the difference. Personally, I have more faith in
Newton than Parke Kunkle. Like Newton, I have studied astrology.
Western astrology, also known as
tropical astrology, is not based on the constellations. It is based
on the seasons. There are many constellations but only 12 Signs. The Signs
of the Zodiac begin on the spring equinox with zero degrees of Aries. Each
Sign is exactly 30 degrees - no more no less. 12 Signs times 30 degrees
equal exactly 360 degrees. There are exactly 360 degrees in the Zodiac and
360 degrees in a circle. The Zodiac is a perfect circle.

How Old is Western Civilization?
GOBEKLI TEPE
Gobekli Tepe is twice as old as the Egyptian pyramids and 7,000 years
older than England's Stonehenge.

How Old Is The Zodiac?
How old is the
Zodiac we use in western astrology? The oldest book of the Christian Bible
is Job. In this book which includes discussions about fate, free will and
Karma, Job presents his argument to God by speaking in
astronomical/astrological terms and mentions the Zodiac (Mazzoroth). The
experts put Job to around 1500 BC. That's pretty old, but not even close to
the findings of Astronomer, Frank Edge, and his evidence that pushes
the origins of the Zodiac back to at least 10,000 BC!
Frank Edge has discovered interesting astrological correlations in the
famous cave paintings at Lascaux, France. These paintings
show many images of the ancient skies at least 12,000 years ago including the
Sign
Gemini as a man and Taurus as a Bull. They seem to prove that the origins of the
Western Zodiac are far older than previously
thought. Here are some links:
