Long-term Aspects and Lunations The long-term aspect to be aware of for several months, albeit years, to come is that square between Pluto and Uranus. This is not a friendly combination, especially with both potentially malefic planets in Cardinal Signs which are predisposed to take action. This will have the strongest effect on the mundane scene where you are likely to see such things as power grabs and exposure of government and corporate corruption accompanied by rebellion and breaking free from oppression. Of course there is nothing like that out there currently to provide a target-rich environment for its manifestation! On the personal side, their effects will depend largely on how this aspect hits your chart. As far as your natal Sun is concerned, you're in fairly good shape. Well, sorta. Pluto is in your 2nd house of finances, income, possessions, needs and comforts. This suggests transformational activity with regard to this part of your life which may turn out to be less than fun at time though the end result should be favorable. Now is the time to clean out the garage, attic, basement, your desk, cabinets, refrigerator or whatever and get rid of anything you no longer need. It is also a time to get rid of any unnecessary expenses or to renovate your means of attaining income. Remember to use the energy or it will use you. The worst thing you can do with a potentially difficult aspect is to ignore it and hope it will go away; it won't. If you don't stand up for yourself and behave in a proactive manner the Universe can kick your butt. Uranus is in fellow Fire Sign, Aries, which puts the planet of surprises, disruptions and rebellion in your 5th house of creativity, ego definition, children, romance, entertainment and speculation. Putting that together with Pluto suggests that surprises in this part of your life could impact your finances, so bear that in mind. This is not the time to be spending money foolishly. Clearly not all surprises are bad, but you are somewhat likely to encounter unexpected events here that necessitate transformational changes to your finances. This could even relate to something like having twins or triplets instead of that single baby you were expecting and the gouging effect this will have on your wallet. So keep that in the back of your mind and don't overextend yourself financially on that big house or fancy car without serious forethought. The month begins and ends with a Full Moon, the one on August 1st occurring in Aquarius, your 3rd house of thoughts, ideas, siblings, neighbors and local travel, suggesting an ending, culmination or shift to a new phase for something in this part of your life. With the Sun in fellow Fire Sign, Leo, your 9th house of beliefs, expectations, philosophy of life, higher learning, legal matters, other cultures, relocation and long-distance travel, these two are going to work together even as the Full Moon itself is the ultimate interaction of the luminaries. For example, this may be the time that you finally take that trip abroad that began as a simple idea some time ago. The yod associated with this lunation has its eye on Pluto, residing in your 2nd house of finances as noted earlier. Its base comprises your sign ruler, Jupiter, and the Sun with the former in your polar sign and 7th house of relationships and the Sun in Leo. This suggests that the expansion of a relationship will come as a result of those 9th house activities and bring about a financial transformation. This could definitely apply to something like going back to school or relocating, perhaps to be closer to family or close friends. Mercury is retrograde at this time, encouraging you to rethink, re-plan, revise or re-examine your beliefs and expectations or some other 9th house matter. The New Moon on August 17 is in Leo, your 9th house, suggesting something new in this area and thus reinforcing the theme of the Full Moon. By now Mercury is no longer retrograde, indicating its the time when it all starts to come together. With Mars and Saturn in Libra, your 11th house of goals, both sextile the New Moon there are numerous opportunities awaiting you at this time. Venus is in your 8th house of shared resources, debt, transformation, sex, death and regeneration and caught in a T-square with that Pluto - Uranus square which hints at the need to borrow money, which may be easier said than done. This is likely to resolve in about a month. Using your imagination is favored, but keep any solutions realistic even though they are likely to be innovative. The Full Moon on August 31 is in Pisces, your 4th house of home environment, memories and endings/new beginnings. The Sun is in Virgo, your 10th house of career, status, public image and reputation, highlighting this part of your life and perhaps pushing you toward a new cycle. This lunation looks favorable for the financial situation, implying transformation will provide the answer you need, but there are likely to be various obstacles along the way. A sudden change of direction may be needed, though this will also be easier said than done. This may be a time when sacrifice is needed now in order to be better off later. This lunation features a yod as well, Uranus at the eye and hinting toward those major changes in your house of ego, children, creativity and so forth. The base comprises the Sun and Mars, suggesting taking action on inspiration and embracing that change is worth serious consideration. Worth keeping in mind, however, is that as Mars transits Scorpio he is in your 12th house of hidden enemies and self-undoing. Watch your back and don't do anything to undermine your own efforts. |
