Lunations and Long-term Aspects

The Full Moon this month is in Pisces, your 2nd house of possessions, income, finances and also includes your physical body as your most important possession.  A Full Moon indicates a culmination or shift in phase which could relate to some endeavor that you started about six months ago in this part of your life.  With Neptune in your first house again due to retrograde motion, be open to inspiration but be cautious of being too gullible or delusional, particularly if your birthday is right around February 18.  Venus, natural ruler of money, is in Virgo throwing a quincunx to Neptune which implies a change of direction or adjustment.  Considering Virgo is your 8th house of shared resources, debt, inheritances, intimate relationships and transformational experiences any of these areas could be affected.

Uranus is stirring things up a bit as well, as if being in Aries isn't enough for this freedom-loving, unpredictable planet.  This may not be a bad placement for Aquarians, however, since Aries represents your 3rd house of thoughts, ideas, neighbors and siblings.  This could bring you some interesting, innovative thoughts or some unexpected situations involving neighbors or your brothers and sisters.  For this lunation Uranus is squaring Pluto in your 12th house of angels and demons, which looks like a good reason to watch your back.  This could represent a lot of subversive power in its worst manifestation.  Remember that the 12th covers a lot of diverse ground including spirituality, enlightenment, transcendence, seclusion, confinement, institutions, hidden enemies and self-undoing.  Pluto in this house can do wonders uncovering interesting information due to his natural forensic nature in the house of things which are hidden, including spiritual truth. 

Combine that with innovative and inventive Uranus in your house of thought and the result could be rather interesting, but with a hard aspect such as a square, it may not be exactly favorable.  On the other hand you may come up with an idea that simply violates something in the 12th.  This could be as simple as coming up with a great idea which requires networking when you'd rather isolate yourself.  The possibilities for these two are far too numerous to even attempt to list here so consider the energies and houses involved and see what fits your individual situation, also considering this square is going to last for quite a while.  Mercury is quincunx Uranus which could indicate life-changing information that brings about a change of course in an unexpected or sudden manner, also.

Jupiter is transiting Taurus, your 4th house of home environment, memories and endings, which will have an expansive and perhaps even lucky effect on that part of your life.  Mercury is trining Jupiter from Virgo, your aforementioned 8th house of intense experiences.  As the ruler of communications and things which move as well as thought this implies some memorable experiences or perhaps deeper understanding of a home situation or family member than you'd previously had.  News of an inheritance is another possibility.  With the Sun, Mercury and Venus all in the 8th house this month you are highly likely to encounter various situations that relate to 8th house matters as defined in the last sentence of the first paragraph above.

Mars is in Cancer, your 6th house of work, service, health and pets.  Mars is largely inhibited in this watery sign but its emotional nature doesn't always combine well with Mars' energy.  If you have a temper, this could make it harder to control or may also imply someone at work is bothering you.  On the positive side it's a good transit for moving forward and getting things done.  Mars and Venus are in a nice, friendly sextile which imply the possibility for something fortunate and possibly life-changing to occur at work.  If you've had your eye on someone at work in a romantic sense this also could influence that.

Saturn is plodding along quietly in your 9th house of higher learning, long-distance travel, other cultures, religion, politics, beliefs and expectations, and legal matters.  This will provide long-term ambition and the ability to work long and hard on something in this part of your life.  For example, going back to school at this time or pursuing some other goal that fits this house is favored.  This is especially true this months for those of you with birthdays right around February 6th.

The New Moon on September 27 is in fellow Air Sign, Libra, your 9th house as described above.  This further promotes starting something new in this part of your life.  There's a tremendous amount of energy there for this lunation including the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus and Saturn.  The only thing that may be holding you back is something from your past or some self-defeating behavior or perhaps not wanting to tie yourself down to a major endeavor.  Nonetheless, it's worth giving some serious thought to anything you might be considering doing.  A close friend, significant other or business partner can help in this endeavor, perhaps simply by helping you get motivated or dealing with anything holding you back.  There are several obstacles out there but much positive energy to mitigate it.  The spread of planets in Libra is such that it's highly likely that at least one of them will form a nice trine to your Natal Sun to help things along.  Overall, it looks as if the theme for this month should be "Git 'r' dun."
