Lunations and Long-term Aspects The New Moon this month is also a Solar Eclipse that falls in fellow Water Sign, Cancer. If your birthday is within a day or so of March 10 you should notice something significant come from it that will affect your 5th House of creativity, children, romance, entertainment, or speculation. Gifts are also sometimes placed in the 5th House, perhaps as a form of compliment which reflects on your ego. The Sun/Moon conjunction that defines a New Moon and also this eclipse, which places them in nearly the same declination as well as longitude, is sextile Mars in Virgo, your polar sign and 7th House of close relationships. A sextile typically indicates an opportunity, so this easily implies a chance to pursue something you've been wanting over there in the 5th House. Ponder what it is you'd like from that part of your life and then go for it! Pluto is the most highly aspected planet for this eclipse with the god of the Underworld connecting with five other planets in one way or another. Primarily he is at the apex of a T-Square that also includes Saturn and the Jupiter/Uranus conjunction which has been stirring things up lately, especially since entering Aries. Pluto is in Capricorn, your 11th House of groups, organizations, friends and goals, which implies some major renovation going on in that part of your life. In the context of the T-Square this implies that these major changes will cause some conflicts and upsets with your finances through Jupiter and Uranus in your 2nd House and also your relationships thanks to Saturn in your 7th. Thus, if you're changing some of your associations or goals, it's going to cause a few shakeups in these other parts of your life through a ripple effect. This is not to say that they can't be resolved or ultimately end well, but they will get your attention. Pluto is also trining Venus in your 7th House of relationships which should bode very well for getting along with someone close to you. The 7th House includes a whole bunch of people, not just your significant other, so whoever is at the corner of that T-Square and represented by Saturn is not likely to be the same person represented by Venus. Saturn is likely to represent an authority figure or older individual while Venus is likely to represent someone you care about. The trine from Pluto to Venus has a multitude of meanings, one of which would be extensive changes in your group associations which result in enhancing a relationship in some way. Or perhaps finding someone is one of your heartfelt goals that you're pursuing. Pluto is also quincunx Mercury in Leo, your 6th House of work and health. This implies news or information from that part of your life will require a change of course or adjustment. And that pretty well sums it up for Pluto. Venus is quite busy as well. Besides her trine with Pluto she's also opposing Neptune, your Sign Ruler, in your 12th House of spiritual development, enlightenment, dreams, inspiration, institutions, self-undoing and hidden enemies. This suggests a tug-o-war between this person and your ideals in some way. Also turn up the gain of your very strong intuition to make sure you're reading this person correctly and not being deceived in some way. This may not necessarily be someone you care about but simply a female. Being in Virgo, maybe this person is being very practical and putting a real damper on your imagination or something else of a spiritual nature. Venus is also quincunx Jupiter and Uranus, indicating this person is going to effect a sudden change or disruption with regard to your finances, possessions, needs or pleasures that will necessitate a course change or adjustment. A Catch-22 situation is another possibility. Mercury is tied into Jupiter and Uranus as well, but thru a positive trine, indicating news regarding work or your health will have positive bearing on your finances, which of course would be a good thing. Saturn, besides being involved in that T-Square, is quincunx Neptune. These two planets are quite antithetical but can work together in unexpected ways. Saturn is about boundaries and Neptune is about dissolving them, so if there are any restrictions or obstacles in your way, this implies that your Sign Ruler will assist you with getting around them, probably through using your imagination or other form of inspiration. If you're restricting yourself in some way, such as self-defeating behaviors or lack of faith or belief in your abilities, this can help you in that regard. If other people, organizations, bureaucracies, etc. are the problem, it can help you there as well. Tune into the energy of Neptune, which in a word is defined as transcendence, and see what happens. The Full Moon on July 25 occurs in your 12th House, Aquarius. Pisces rules the zodiacal 12th House so this is familiar territory. A Full Moon usually brings an ending, culmination or shift to a new phase as a milestone is completed. Based on the location of the Sun for this lunation, which is Leo, this influence is likely to show up in your 6th House of work, health, service and pets, suggesting you'll finish up something in this part of your life. This lunation has the same T-square defined for the New Moon/Eclipse with the minor tweak that Saturn by this time has moved into Libra, your 8th House of transformations, sex, death, debt and shared resources. This suggests that you've worked through the relationship or partnerships issues and are now in the process of transforming something that could involve a loan or another person's resources. Saturn is still in its "shadow period" since coming out of retrograde in the end of May. While retrograde he was prompting you to ruminate on something in this part of your life and now that he's gone direct and is covering that same area you will figure out what you need to do about it. The quincunx to your Sign Ruler, Neptune, still stands as well, which will help you get past any obstacles, particularly those that are self-imposed. The Sun/Moon system creates a Triangle of Potential with the Jupiter/Uranus conjunction in your 2nd House of finances and possessions. A ToP comprises an opposition with a planet between it that sextiles one and trines the other party of the opposition, mediating the hard aspect to one that can be controlled through the energy of the planet or planets at the apex. In this case it's Jupiter and Uranus, a somewhat volatile mix that reminds me of Zeus' lightning bolts, but just think what you might be able to accomplish if it were you wielding them. A major change that is unexpected or possibly even disruptive will occur with regard to your finances or possessions that will ultimately bring opportunities for spiritual growth and progression as well as new work energy of some description. Saturn trining the Moon will help you find the perseverance you need to make it so. Neptune is opposing Mercury in Leo, your 6th House of work and health, which has a variety of implications. First of all, watch your back for anyone, especially in the work place, who's trying to undermine you in any way. This could be through outright deception or they may pretend to be your friend when they're not. Be on the lookout for deception, don't be too trusting or naive, and definitely don't believe everything you hear or read without adequate verification. Chiron, the asteroid known as the "Wounded Healer" is in your 12th House as well which could set you up for sabotaging yourself or being hurt by a hidden enemy, institution, or even confining or secluding yourself when you need to be actively engaged in some activity for your benefit. This is a time to take action and not wait for the world to come to you. Ponder past mistakes, learn from them, and then move forward with the new knowledge and understanding you've gained. Short-term Aspects July 1: This is a good day to get together with someone who's a good sounding board and do some brainstorming. It's also favorable for doing something with your children or romantic interests. Your creativity is likely to be high so express it in a way that brings you satisfaction through doing something tangible with it. It's also a good day for some speculations with someone such as your broker or accountant. July 5: Uranus goes retrograde until December 5. This will make his energy even more erratic and tend to bring a variety of unexpected events with regard to your possessions or finances. These won't necessarily be unfortunate, but you need to make sure you've got them under control as opposed to vice versa. July 8: Continue to pursue that brainstorm or situation from the other day and continue to contemplate and meditate upon it. Something related to your job may be in the way and present an irritation or obstacle that you need to work your way around. July 9: Mercury goes into Leo today, your 6th House of work and health, which will facilitate ideas, information, and conversations in those areas. Ideas for increasing your income are favored specifically today. July 10: Venus goes into Virgo, your 7th House of relationships. Venus is usually a benefic planet, but doesn't function as well in Virgo as others since it's a sign that tends to be critical and can develop nagging to an art form. Unexpected news related to money or your possessions is likely. It's a favorable day for creative problem solving, however. July 11: New Moon/Solar Eclipse as described above. July 13: A course change that relates to your finances is in-work today. Examine your goals for something you may have missed, particularly if they involve someone else besides yourself. July 20: Inspired creativity is highly likely today which will also help you to tweak any goals that may be slightly out of alignment. July 21: Saturn goes into Libra today, bringing his discipline and structure to your 8th House of shared resources, debt, death and regeneration and sex. Saturn isn't typically a kind or understanding tutor but he does do a good job of educating you where the boundaries are and how to play within the rules. July 22: The Sun goes into Leo today, bringing light and emphasis to your 6th House of work, health, service and pets. Be on the lookout for opportunities at work or for service that will provide a transformational experience. July 23 Jupiter goes retrograde today in your 2nd House of finances and possessions. This typically stirs up issues and events related to ethics in some way or how your philosophy of life affects this part of your life. Positive changes, perhaps of a surprising nature, are likely, possibly at work. July 24: If your goals are being jeopardized by your financial situation but you were previously unaware of this, you should discover it today. A careful forensic analysis of this part of your life would be very beneficial at this time. July 25: Full Moon in Aquarius as described above. July 26: This is a very active day astrologically due to the fact that there are at least five aspects that will be exact sometime today. Expect events related to your work, service or health. Once more, take a careful look at your goals as well as any group associations or friends you have to make sure they're beneficial. If not, consider what you need to do to change direction. Be wary of deception or illusions, particularly if they're self-imposed. It should become apparently what you need to do to expand your income. Money and work are likely to occupy the majority of your time and thoughts today. July 27: Mercury goes into Virgo, enhancing communications in your 7th House of relationships. If any of your relationships involve your finances, income or possessions, this is a favorable time to make some adjustments in that area. July 30: Mars goes into Libra today, bringing his energy to your 8th House of transformations. Don't take unnecessary chances of any kind and make sure your eyes are wide open with any decisions you have to make. Mars in your 8th House can incline you to accidents, so be careful. It's highly likely that something is going to cost you some money unexpectedly. It's a favorable day, however, to discuss shared goals and make any necessary adjustments. July 31: Another day to be extra careful. Don't push your luck in any endeavor, but look to ways you can exercise more discipline. |
