LUNAR NODES
The mutable signs of Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces are the ones that are affected by the lunar nodes being in these signs. Also, Uranus being in Pisces has brought about many changes for these signs since 2003. In 2003 the nodes were in Gemini-Sagittarius. So, if you have natal or progressed planets in these signs you have been going through tremendous changes in you life. Some were unexpected and some exciting. Pluto has not helped the situation either by being in Sagittarius. Your lives have changed and you cannot go back to the way they were once Pluto has done its work. ECLIPSES 2007 March 3, Lunar Eclipse – 12.60 Virgo/Pisces
March 19, Solar Eclipse – 28.07 Pisces
August 28, Lunar Eclipse – 4.46 Pisces/Virgo September 11, Solar Eclipse – 18.25 Virgo
The March 3 and September 11 eclipses are probably bouncing off of one another. The affect of eclipses all depends on the aspects from the other planets as to their intensity. Think back around 19 years ago…what happened in your life then as the eclipses were in the same sign. For the past two years many have been dealing with difficult transits, which brought about events in their lives that they had to conquer. We are now at the end of that cycle and will finish it by the outer planets transiting the signs at the degrees of 14-30. You may still be dealing with matters relating to the past two years…well it is time you finish it and let go and move on. Look in your chart both natal and progressed and see if you have anything at 14-30 degrees of any sign. If you do, that tells us that you are one of the chosen ones, to meet your challenging up coming events, or are finishing them. Those of you who have degrees that are lower than that, can give a sigh a relief, as you are now finished and congratulations in succeeding to have lasted through the ordeal. Late degrees always have a finishing aspect to them. In looking at all of the astrological signs we realize that some will have what is called the positive, easy aspects; sextiles, trines and some conjunctions integrating these planets and some will have the difficult aspects; squares, oppositions, quincunxes and some conjunctions. This all depends on the sign that your planets are in. Always remember that this is only energy and how you use it is up to you. You can be stressed or work with the energy to the end result that you want. We each have three levels of manifestation to create within our lives and it depends on which one you function on as to the results that are achieved. These levels are; Body, Soul, and Spirit. The Body is the one that gives us the most difficulties and stress, as that one relates to all of the human earthly desires that we have and our ego has a lot to do with it. Those who function from a higher level such as the Soul or Spirit will take the energy and raise it to a higher level and have it work to their advantage without the stress involved. They will employ their Higher Spiritual self while tackling the challenges at hand. What level do you function on? The aspects which have been affecting everyone are the following; NEPTUNE IN AQUARIUS opposition SATURN IN LEO JUPITER conjunct PLUTO trine SATURN & sextile NEPTUNE URANUS IN PISCES square JUPITER & quincunx SATURN And PLUTO CONJUNCT THE GALACTIVE CENTER What we take into consideration for major importance this year is the opposition of Neptune in Aquarius to Saturn in Leo, which has been an ongoing problem for the last two years and will finish by fall. This aspect has had a negative effect on planets 14-30 degrees in the fixed signs of Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius as well as Capricorn, Pisces, Cancer and Virgo. Why has there been so much lack of structure, confusion, dissolution and responsibility over the last two years? Saturn has been trying to control the planet Neptune in its opposition. Neptune in the negative, covers everything up with its fog, illusions, disillusions, deceit and worry. Saturn in Leo is all about our personal power. If you think about it joining with Pluto in a positive trine aspect, one realizes that this is a momentous time for the world and anyone whose planets are at these degrees (18-30). You have the power to take this opposition and make it work for you. Jupiter joining with Pluto definitely will release any restrictions. Those in power may just get it figured out and correct all of the problems that have been experienced in the last two years. Is it no wonder that the world is in such chaotic difficulties with the planets aspecting the way they are. It makes you become more compassionate in your thinking about our President and what he is involved with. Remember that the man elected fits into the scheme of what happens. Last year Jupiter was in Scorpio which only expanded on Neptune’s problems. It made us over extend with illusions such as in the real estate market and the economy and also the wool has been pulled over our eyes involving the oil problem. (Neptune as well as Pluto rules oil) Now, with Saturn explaining to Neptune, this cannot be, and Jupiter in Sagittarius trine Saturn and sextile Neptune saying let’s be responsible and practical and see things with more reality it is time to get a handle on this energy. For the past two years it has been; see what you want to see and hear what you want to hear with this opposition. The new energy is to get Neptune to understand that illusions do not work…fears do not work…don’t sweep it under the rug; reach to a higher spiritual place. Get the facts and deal with it. Believe in what you are doing and ride it to success. Just think about someone on drugs or an alcoholic and how difficult it is for them to break the habit which is ruled by Neptune the planet of escape. It takes a long time to turn things around. But Saturn, being the planets of discipline, never gives up, and Pluto the planet of transformation keeps working on it until it is accomplished. Pluto makes a positive sextile to Neptune and a trine to Saturn, which gives the opportunity to transform by using the powers of our higher spiritual self and belief system. Neptune in the positive is our spiritual belief. Remembering that we are Spiritual Beings trying to exist in a human body, shows the difficulties that this opposition between Neptune and Saturn has. Saturn is telling us to use Neptune in its higher vibration…reach to the higher ”I AM” in each of us…that spiritual part of us…and to not be confused with the illusions and fears that our lower ego wants us to believe in. Get in control of your fears and work with the problems at hand. We have all had to work with this challenge in one way or another. Many have had this challenge with their health where choices of allopathic medicine vs naturopathic healing or spiritual healing had to be decided by them. Both are needed as this physical body can benefit from the discoveries of medicine for healing certain aliments. But the Spiritual Neptune also says, let the spiritual part of you have a say also and get those Reki healings and take control of a higher power that is there to help you as you go through your healing…both can help. Difficult health can change and one can be healed with Pluto making good aspects to this opposition. Pluto destroys what is not right and transform it into something else. For the past two years these two planets have been a challenge in their opposition aspect. There are two more times until September when the aspect becomes exact again and that is the end of February and June. However, with Mars in Aquarius in March and the first week in April and Mars in Taurus in July and the first week in August that would be the time to watch as both of these Mars will conjunct and square the Neptune-Saturn opposition. The degrees to watch are 18-30. There is still an energy that is trying to undermine things but you will see everything turn around by the fall. The planet Uranus in Pisces will at times square Jupiter and make a quincunx to Saturn. Uranus gives the jolt to breakup what is needed so that we can move on. This whole conglomeration is working together to bring about the changes that are needed. There is talk now that Pluto is just an ice ball! Many have misunderstood Pluto. In the study of the Kabalah Pluto is the quilphoth, which has the responsibility to work with the whole Tree of Life (us and our solar system) to transform it by destroying what is no longer needed and to give new life for the future. It has a very responsible job. This is what Pluto is doing as it once more conjuncts the Galactic Center. Pluto is very different from all of the other planets. Its orbit is not circular in our solar system as are all the other planets. Pluto has an elliptic orbit like a cigar. When it first came to our awareness in the early 30’s, and wiggled the planet Neptune, it entered our solar system and our consciousness became aware that we had the responsibility and ability of transition and transformation of everything in our lives. Our awareness came when Pluto was in the sign of Cancer. It was in this sign for 25 years. As it came closer and closer to the Earth the time spent in each sign was reduced to an average of 10 years. I remember Isabel Hickey saying that we would not experience Pluto through many signs during our lives, as she was not aware of its change in speed, but as you know it reduced its time to 10 years and we have all experienced it in many signs and aspects to our planets during our lives. When it enters the sign of Capricorn 1/27/08-1/21/2024 (16 years) it will then be in the opposite sign of Cancer and will once more spend more time in each sign. Each sign after that will extend its time. So, the children being born will experience Pluto in just a few signs. As it moves away from the Earth it slows down and spends more time in each sign. Since 1914 when it entered Cancer till now it brought many transitions as well as the recycling of body parts as it went through Scorpio. Just think about the difference in living in 1914 and now. Pluto and Uranus are responsible for all of the transitions and inventions that we now enjoy. Many went into psychological counseling which brought a lot to the surface. Needing someone to blame for their troubles, the parents and home was accused. Pluto brings things to the surface. But now that that awareness surfaced what was one to do with it? As Pluto is leaving us Chiron has entered. Chiron, the healer of wounds, tells us to take the responsibility for ourselves, to heal ourselves, instead of blaming others. Pluto has been bringing each of us through life and death events in one way or another when it made negative aspects to us. It has also given us our recognition of our personal power when it made good aspects to us. We are all experiencing living at a time when major events will be happening to our world. The one that is right at hand is Pluto aligning with the Galactic Center. There has been much speculation and talk that brings fear and wonderment to all who hear about this…but what does it really mean? Is this the first time that this has happened? NO! It happens ever 248 years. Every time Pluto returns to the Galactic Center (26-28 degrees Sagittarius) it transforms and brings a new spiritual awakening to us. This is evolution. It has been in Sagittarius since 1995. 248 years ago we were preparing to leave the mother country. Our religious ideas were changing. And here we are again with our spiritual beliefs being challenged as well as dealings with foreign countries. Pluto represents anything hidden or underground. Petroleum oil, taxes, joint finances, sex, pornography the unconscious mind, birth and death, transformation, drug trafficking, terrorism, others money, banks, inheritance, the reproductive organs, surgery, waste, atomic power, bacteria, viruses. In Sagittarius it relates to foreign countries, philosophies & spiritual beliefs, travel and higher education. Pluto exposes that which has been kept secret such as the Kabalah and the Da Vinci Code which told us about the Illuminati. It has also exposed the pedophiles in the Catholic Church, which will bring about a change in their organization. 248 years from now, when many of you will be back…you will then be getting ready to enter the Age of Aquarius with another burst of consciousness as Pluto once again conjuncts the Galactic Center. But then it will be different as we will have more understanding of our spiritual connection and we will be getting ready to enter the Age of Aquarius. PLUTO conjuncts the GALACTIC CENTER Pluto conjuncts the galactic center three times this year (actually four if you include 2008) when it retrogrades back and forth between 26-28 degrees Sagittarius. The ending degrees finalize the whole journey through Sagittarius. When it conjuncts the galactic center it will be 28 degrees.
JUPITER CONJUNCT PLUTO TRINE SATURN Another major aspect that we watch this year is Jupiter now in Sagittarius moving up to conjunct Pluto and trine Saturn. Jupiter the freedom, expansive planet is in its own sign. If Pluto is bringing a spiritual awakening or healing and Jupiter is joined to it …it will be very expansive. The positive trine to Saturn, all in Fire signs, stabilizes what has been happening. This can be a time to rebuild and expand using the lessons from the past. Jupiter and Saturn are also the business planets and when in good aspects, as it will be, the economy improves. Fire makes everyone active and enthusiastic. With Jupiter in Sagittarius a Fire sign, and making a trine to Saturn in Leo a Fire sign, humanity will still take chances and the buying frenzies will once again return with excitement but let’s hope that the Saturn trine will give some stability. Fire is exciting and for the first half of the year you will find clothing to be exciting, electrical, wild and outstanding with great colors. Hair styles are also wild. Just wait till this fall when Saturn enters Virgo and Jupiter enters Capricorn and see how rapidly the styles change to that which is proper and the colors become more subdued and drab. All that bare skin you have been looking at will be covered up…no more exposed bellies and breasts. That would be very improper for Virgo. Then Jupiter will be in Capricorn and Saturn in Virgo both Earth signs and the economy will still be good but under different energy…practical and slower and more organized. We have this aspect through half of the year and on September 2, 2007 Saturn will enter the sign of Virgo with new responsibilities and work, which the sign of Virgo will tell us about. Virgo is the sign of organization and details. MARS RETROGRADE CANCER Mars enters Cancer September 29, 2007 and will form a positive sextile aspect to Saturn in Virgo. Mars in Cancer is a very active energy where the emotions are applied to actions in order to get things accomplished. Joining with Saturn, which likes to organize and bring form to things and especially in Virgo…this will be the time that the old is finished and we now can concentrate on building a new platform for the future. Mars will also at that time make a positive trine to the planet Uranus in Pisces and as you know Uranus likes to bring about changes that will take us into the future. Even though Mars will retrograde in Cancer in November it will hold the sextile to Saturn and trine to Uranus through the rest of the year. When it re-enters Gemini that will be another story but that will not happen until 2008. In the meantime we will enjoy the change and stability that these planets will bring in the fall. Since the year is so divided with energy we will talk about what happens between January and September. Perhaps we need to meet again and talk about the change of energy for the fall. How can we figure out how these outer planets will affect each of us? One way is to put the Sun sign on the ascendant and remembering that we are looking at planets that are between 14-30. Place 18 degree on the ascendant and see where the configurations that we are talking about shows up. What houses are you dealing with? Remember that it is planets 18-30 degrees and the angles that we are concerned with. Capricorn- Jan. 9-20 With your Sun (ascendant or any planets 18-30 Capricorn) we see that Saturn is in your 8th house and Neptune falls in the 2nd. This says that you have been watching money matters…yours and others that you are dealing with as well as any retirement, credit cards, alimony, and mortgage or tax bills. Neptune in the 2nd shows money can disappear if you invest unwisely. With Jupiter now joining Pluto making good aspects to this opposition says that there is a windfall coming and things will turn around. If anyone has Venus between 11-18 Capricorn, Uranus in Pisces will make a sextile this year and you will find that your social life and your pocketbook increases and you will be very excited to meet that special person. Uranus will also bring you out to be recognized for the work you are doing. When Saturn goes into Virgo it will be a benefit to you and shortly Pluto will be in Capricorn bringing you power. Aquarius- Feb. 8-19 You are one of the signs that have had difficulties for the past two years. With your Sun (ascendant or any planets 18-30 Aquarius) we see that Saturn is in your 7th house of partnership and Neptune is in your 1st which is you. There has been an ongoing problem between you and another person. Neptune being conjunct your Sun says that you may be idealizing or putting up with a situation that needs to come to an end. It also says that the partner is more stable than you are. Are you having any trouble with drugs or alcohol? Pluto the planet of psychology will help you work it out if you are willing to go for help. Pluto in the house of friends or groups, sextiles your Sun saying that there is someone who has the power to help you transform the problem or to be strong enough to end it. Neptune conjunct your Sun says watch your health. If you are feeling tired and rundown it could be because of the stress of this situation. This can bring on a weight loss. Any planets 18-30 Aquarius are being affected and blocked and dissipating. Pluto is also making a positive aspect to Saturn in your 7th house. Your partner has been working hard and it is time for recognition. Jupiter also benefits this Your second born is reaping success but if married, may be having difficulty with the marriage. Dealings with parents and grandparents are also challenged. Jupiter sextile your Sun brings opportunities to travel which will be a change for you and get you away from that which has been bothering you. Pisces- March 9-21 With your Sun (ascendant or any planets 18-30 Pisces) Saturn will be in your 6th house and Neptune in your 12th house. Saturn would be making a quincunx to your Sun and this being the house of health shows that you need to take care of your health. Pluto squaring you also warns of this. There has been a weight loss but for all the wrong reasons. It could be that this may have already happened, as remember that this aspect has been happening for the past two years. Pluto is squaring your Sun showing that you are going through a deep psychological change in your life. With Uranus in your sign, life is always changing. There will be more changes till 2010 depending on your planets degrees. Expect anything and everything to happen. Change is in the air. If anyone has Venus or the Moon 18-30 Pisces, Uranus will be conjuncting it bringing unsettled changes around your loved ones or in financial or love matters. You can also meet an exciting person. There are opportunities to travel but it all depends on your health if you can do it. DO YOU HAVE PLANETS 18-30 ARIES, LEO OR SAGITTARIUS? If so you are the lucky ones this year. Aries-April 9-20 With your Sun18-30 Aries or the ascendant or any planets, we see that Saturn is conjunct your 5th house and Neptune is in your 11th house. Your first born, if married, may be having trouble with their partner. These being the death houses of the parents says that some of you may have lost parents. Also note that Pluto, Jupiter and Saturn form a grand trine to Aries and Neptune sextiles. Stability and power with a spiritual growth is around any planets 18-30 Aries, Leo or Sagittarius. These are signs that are blessed this year. Do you have any planets in your chart at these degrees? If you have your Venus in Aries, Leo or Sagittarius at these degrees you may already or will receive a large sum of money. Jupiter brings opportunities to travel and also a weight gain. Taurus-May 9-21 With your Sun18-30 Taurus or the ascendant or any planets, we see that Saturn is in your 4th house of the home and your 10th house of career. These two planets make a negative square to your Sun. If you have wanted to lose weight, this is a good time. You are feeling blocked, would like to quit work or maybe you were laid off. Saturn in the 4th of the home says that there could be a person living with you that would make you feel restricted. Dealings with parents are difficult. Pluto is making a quincunx to your sign from the 8th where money matters such as mortgage or retirement etc. are a concern. Things have been tough for you for the past two years. Uranus is making a good aspect to these Taurus planets and shows an opportunity for change or exciting things that could take your mind off of what you feel restricted by. All work and no play make a dull life. If anyone has their Venus or Moon in Taurus there is a double edge sword here. Things have not been going well in the love or financial area and you have either been without a relationship or the one you have had is not right for you. You now have an opportunity to meet someone that will excite you and that could be just what you need in order to get rid of what you have wanted to discard for a long time. Gemini-June 10-21 With your Sun18-30 Gemini or the ascendant or any planets, we see that Saturn is in your 3rd and Neptune in the 9th houses. At times travel may be difficult for you. Education and studies of a higher philosophy is of interest. A sibling may be having problems with a partner. If you are on your second marriage there is confusion here and with Neptune in the 9th, rather than divorce you would just let it drift until you decide to end it. Saturn is sextile your Gemini planets bringing structure and stability. Neptune is trining them which tells us creative energy is there but also a strong spiritual energy. Uranus square the Gemini planets or Sun shows that there is a lot of change coming in your life over the next few years. You are feeling independent and have a need for freedom. Pluto in your 7th tells us that there is a person who has a karmic hold on you and you are trying to work this through so that the karma will be completed. Jupiter being there makes it do able. Cancer July 10-23 Saturn is in your 2nd house of finance and Neptune in the 8th of money belonging to others. This says that you have been watching money matters…yours and others that you are dealing with as well as any retirement, credit cards, alimony, and mortgage or tax bills. Financial obligations are never ending. Just keeping up is a chore. You save and then it disappears. Much is required of you these days and it is important that you keep healthy. Neptune and Pluto quincunx your Sun, adding stress to your life, which can result in health problems. In the fall when Saturn goes into Virgo and Mars does a retrograde in Cancer many things will improve. With Uranus making a good aspect to you it will bring you out before the public and will have people notice you. You are stimulating and have an electrical aura that lights you up. If anyone has their Venus or Moon in 18-30 Cancer they will meet an exciting person that will light up their lives. Leo Aug 10-23 Saturn is in the 1st house and Neptune is in the 7th. You are serious and there is discipline for you to achieve what you want. A weight loss is available. You feel old and at times wonder about the obligations that you are required to fulfill. Many times you just want to throw it all away. A relationship has a lot to be desired. Is there something about this partner that you do not know? Is the partner well? Is it a relationship that has been there a long time and has just become so-so? Do they have a drug or alcohol problem? This can be changed with the right help. With Pluto and Jupiter trining the planets in Leo there is success all around you with good fortune. Jupiter will bring opportunities to travel all year. Virgo Sept 10-23 Saturn is in your 12th house and Neptune makes a quincunx from the 6th house. Neptune tells us to check your health. If you are married or have a partner it seems that both of you are having health challenges. There are many planets affecting you now. Uranus is in your 7th house showing changes with partners. Either you suddenly attract one or one that you have all of a sudden wants their independence. Pluto and Jupiter square your Sun again cautions you to check your health. The home base is challenged as well as a parent. Libra Oct 10-23 Neptune trines the sun giving you a spiritual fulfillment and may bring an ideal person into your life…a soul mate. Jupiter and Pluto sextile your Sun from the 3rd house saying that education, writing or teaching works well for you. You may also travel this year. You are feeling optimistic and jovial with opportunities to travel. With Saturn in your 11th house and Neptune in your 5th house it is time to check on your first born. Is there a health problem or a tendency to alcohol or drugs which is destroying their marriage? Since these are the death houses of parents you should check on them. If you are in business for yourself Saturn in your 11th house of income from the business with a good aspect to Jupiter and Pluto says that this is the time to reap the benefits financially. Scorpio Nov 10-22 Well, you are one of the signs that are still finishing whatever the restrictions are in your life. Neptune on the 4th says take a look at your home and see where repairs are needed. Saturn in your 10th of career either has you without a job or the job you have requires a lot of responsibility. If it is time to retire, Pluto in the 2nd house trining the Saturn in the 10th shows that there is a good pension. Pluto in the 2nd with Jupiter makes money abundanat. Somehow Money is not a problem. Over the past 2 years you may have had a loss of a parent but somehow it secured your future. Uranus makes a trine to your Sun and you have a stimulating aura around you which draws people to you. Good time to lose weight with Saturn square your sun. If Venus is in Scorpio it is receiving a trine from Uranus and an exciting person can come into your life. Sagittarius Dec 10-22 You are one of the signs that are blessed right now. With Jupiter and Pluto on your Sun and Saturn trininig it, you are in a position of power and stability. Travel to a foreign country is appealing. There is a weight gain. Neptune sextiles you bringing spiritual growth. The opposition of Saturn and Neptune falls in your 3rd and 9th houses. Is there a sibling that is going through some difficulty or is the health of a parent challenged. Education may not be your thing this year or for the past two years. Uranus squares you agitating you to make changes in your home and to find something exciting to do. I would say that you have a very fortunate and powerful year. Enjoy it! |
