Double check the details. A challenging or confusing Mercury Pluto opposition at 10:28AM suggests you take your time with important matters and communications Saturday morning.

Calm astrological skies follow until the Moon squares grumpy Saturn at 6:43PM. Jupiter, Neptune and Mars are all heading for the OK Corral Saturday night where conflict is likely. Use extreme caution with fireworks, fools and anything dangerous this evening…

THE WEEKEND: July 4-5 [1]

If you are one of the millions of people who are currently experiencing major life-changing events, keep in mind that it is not just marriages that succumb to the seven-year-itch. Actually, seven-year cycles are in effect in all areas of life. Science tells us that on average, most cells in the human body change within a seven year period. So, it isn’t surprising that the things we are doing and interested in will change, as well. Taking some time to reflect on what was happening in your life seven years ago can shed new light, allowing you to claim the wisdom gained and release the toxic residue so you are free to start fresh.

The planet, Uranus, (genius, innovation, invention and sudden change) ruler of Aquarius, spends seven years in each sign of the zodiac. This offers clues about why and how things evolve.

The ’seven-year-itch’ kicks in around the beginning of year six. Often, an Aquarian-type person or event (unexpected, catalytic, bolt-from-the-blue kind of thing) creates such a shift in your perception of life that you just know things will never go back to the way they were. Unrest and…

Not always considered in chart comparison are aspects in another dimension of the chart, and these are aspects in declination. When two planets are the same distance from the equator, they are considered parallel or contraparallel. The parallel occurs when two planets are the same distance from the equator and …

Jupiter and Neptune are currently at 26 degrees Aquarius. This means they are conjunct Justin’s natal Mars and Descendant.

Take a look at this bi-wheel. The planets as they are today are on the outer wheel.

I’m not a big believer in the current interpretation of Neptune. I think it’s based too much on myth, and associations with the Twelfth House and Pisces. So, I’m not going to focus on that planet in this report.

The main aspect for me in Justin’s transits is the Jupiter conjunction with his Descendant and natal Mars…

A reader said she liked my synastry post and that more people should be writing on this topic. Since my progressed sun is in the seventh house, maybe this is a good time for me to think and write about relationships.

When I think of synastry, I always want to know what the nodes are doing. It’s the influence of Eugenie Diserio. Years ago, I spent a few months in Singapore. Surfing the net. That’s all I did. Ten to twelve hours a day. And what I stumbled upon was Eugenie Diserio’s “Ask Genie” column on astrology and relationships. She’d give relationship advice and she’d always factor in the nodes. Eugenie’s a great astrologer and a good writer and she’s made a deep impact on how I…

…The first thing to say here is that this full moon will have a extra big dollop of emotional waves and fluctuations.  Neither good nor bad. It simply is. Our emotions will be aroused even more than normal during this time (give about four days before and after the actual date as a window period).  The emotional self will be prodded and given executive orders from top management (Soul/Consciousness) to address the significant issues.  Insecurities and inadequacies may be tossed up from the bottom of the emotional ocean. Life will not be put on hold. The themes bobbing in the waters are; patience, integrity, emotional maturity, pragmatism and taking things a step at a time.

There may be emotional instability of feeling of being out of internal alignment with your Soul or Spirit. The flashing beacon is your lighthouse to offer you the way to…

Next week, on July 6, President Obama of the USA will meet PM Putin of Russia in Moscow. Both leaders have the Moon in Gemini and their Moons are very close. Usually that means that they are ’soul mates’ or friends. Let us hope that that is true and that their meeting will be in a good atmosphere. Mr. Putin and Mr. Obama are good diplomats. Their Venus doesn’t make major aspects and that is telling us that they are charming (if they want to:) at any possible level. SATURN-URANUS Today I read that Barack Obama had said that Putin is still having one foot in the past and that Putin answered that he is not. As it happens (…) both have an aspect between Saturn and Uranus in the natal chart. Limited liberty, independence with restrictions, old and new…

My solar return for 2009 had the Moon in the second finance house with the angles returning to the same sign, so I was quite grateful to read someone else’s interpretation and being able to benefit from it.  It was quite on the mark, but I wanted to know more, especially other techniques that would give me further clues to what the year might bring.  Since I am trying to get through Morin’s book twenty three I came across the following which I found very enlightening.  What house was the Moon in the natal chart and check out the rulers of the cusp?  Of the two Moons (natal and solar return), was one of them in a more favorable sign, and was it making any aspects to the rulers?  Looking further with the Moon and its position in the natal chart in the tenth conjunct the natal Venus gave me the clue that I was thinking of changing the direction of my career, and that finances would…

"It’s Time!" Old Town Hall in Prague ‘It is time. The clock ticks and every second counts. No time to waste in indulging in what ifs… that will never end. Compassion, kindness, love with each click. Listen quietly and you shall hear the subtle language of the emotional self speaking to you through the heart. Hear fully what cries out in loneliness or sorrow. Hear what sings for joy and feels fulfilled. Your attention is needed in the area which is parched, dry of sensitivity and rich feelings. You are presented with an open gateway opportunity to take slow careful steps up the spiral staircase. Or you may continue sliding downwards on the Bannister and revisiting the basement – over and over again. Reach beyond your old limits. Let yourself break free of the illusory shackles that bind you long enough to venture onto the spiral staircase upwards…
