Lunations and Long-term Aspects

This month the New Moon is in Leo, your 11th House of groups, friends, networking, and organizations as well as any goals which require help from others to achieve. If your birthday is within a day or so of October 11 this should bring a new opportunity your way that fits into one of those areas. This New Moon isn't aspecting any planets which is also the case for Mercury and Neptune. The six others, however, are busy stirring things up with a Cardinal T-square with half of them hanging out in your sign in a rolling stellium formation, bringing a lot of energy to you personally. These include your Sign Ruler, Venus, Saturn and Mars. Venus is dignified in one of her home signs, so will function nicely bringing an extra boost to your natural beauty and charm. Saturn is exalted in Libra, where his structure and boundaries can operate fairly. Mars, however, ruler of your Polar Sign, Aries, is in debility in Libra, though it may not be a bad thing for his natural drive and aggression to be muffled a bit. What this translates to is that you'll have some astrological help as far as starting some new habits or activities.

However, this trio is opposing Uranus and Jupiter, both retrograde in Aries, your 7th House of relationships. These two could be bringing some surprises your way, though Jupiter retrograde typically brings out various ethical issues. Remember that relationships in this context include not only your significant other but your business partners, professionals with whom you have a one-on-one relationship, close friends and relatives, and competitors, meaning that ethics issues could relate to anyone in that entire venue. Whatever Jupiter and Uranus are up to, it's going to throw a few speedbumps in the road as far as your personal pursuits are concerned. As if that's not enough, Pluto is settled into Capricorn for the long-haul where he's digging up various matters in your 4th House of home environment. Any old, unresolved issues will surface, including such things as electrical and plumbing issues, so keep your checkbook or credit card handy. Anything previously hidden will come out, like it or not. Transformations will be effected, though these typically work out nicely in the end. For example, these won't necessarily be earth-shattering or life-changing but could be simple things like getting past one of your old hang-ups, cleaning out the garage or attic, doing some remodeling, and so forth. However, all of these activities and/or individuals are going to be competing for your time and energy so it will be quite a juggling act, regardless of how good each of them may be. Note that this T-square, at least between Uranus, Saturn and Pluto, is going to be in effect for quite a long time due to the fact they're all slow movers.

The Full Moon on August 24 is in Pisces, your 6th House of work, health and pets. This will bring an ending, culmination or new phase to something in this part of your life. Note that this is a favorable time to start a diet or fitness plan to improve your health. The T-square described above is still in effect, but this lunation has a few other aspects worth noting. Watch for something unexpected with regard to your job and your relationships there which may require a course change or adjustment. If there's anything going on which you're not comfortable with, you need to consider how you can resolve it, no matter what it takes. You should also have some astrological assistance as far as setting some priorities that relate to those home issues you need to deal with.
