The joys of having square moons with your mom.... mine isn't as exact as Frances and Courtney (just square by sign), but ye gods, it makes me crazy.
will prove to be a doozie
espeically when it comes to the age old battle between head and heart.
If you’re the guilty type or scared of what will happen if you plunge right in and take action, you’ll tend to hang on to a situation way longer than you should, and you’ll continue to feel powerless and confused.
Be comforted in the fact that there is no simple formula or recipe.
You have to have patience, and you must believe that there is a bigger plan operating.You have to have faith when you think there is no reason to have any and that when it is time to act, you will act.
The retrograde of Mars beginning now and lasting to well into 2010
will cause a stoppage and backup in a lot of progress. Haltings, cancellations and changes are in the works
so you have to be flexible and roll with them, It's taking place in Leo so that flexibility thing could be tricky.
The nodes in 2010: the whole year. PEople will try to run to the country to get away from the city but the city will follow them to the country. FOOD AND SHELTER. Feed your family and keep a roof over your head. But don’t try to get out of work because of family or personal problems. You’ll have to cope with both. Period. This will hit Cancers and Capricorns directly, but we all have those signs somewhere in our charts and the nodes affect all the relationships we have.
With Saturn wobbling at the entrance to Libra, people won’t want to sleep alone, either. Remember, however, that living with somebody is fulfilling, but always fraught. It would be great if when you meet the love of your life, everything could be out in open, all issues put on the table and all negotiated up front. But it doesn’t work that way. When the romance is over, the relationship starts.
Of course a big kicker will come from the planet Uranus. (The Wait! Don’t Kill Yourself Message is all about that) No matter what sign you are, you’ll feel it. It is always the absolutely last thing you would ever dream could happen to you, so you cannot possibly call it. Don’t even try to figure it out beforehand.
There’s good news, however. Despite the predictions of gloom and doom, with Jupiter and Uranus meeting in Aries there is reason to rejoice. Positive actions will definitely be taken, even if they can’t be predicted now. There is a spark, a glowing ember among the cold gray ashes of hopelessness. There will be for each of us a renewal, rebirth, a spring awakening. Flowers will be blooming again. The baby will kick, so, yes, you'll be able to break out the champagne.
Certainly by July of 2010 you will see personal conflict and obstacles as well as social and political turmoil. In fact, there will be tremendous waves of public, but in the turmoil is positive change. It will not be a comfortable year, but personal and social growth does not come about when you’re comfortable.
So during 2010 prepare to dump the hopelessness, victimization and apathy, and look forward to the most dynamic period you’ve experienced in a long time, if ever.
I shall be presenting on Saturn transits at Pantheacon this year!
taurus (Apr. 21st-May 20th)
The stars oh-so-casually mention that “a possible life-long partner” may cross your path this week. So no pressure, or anything. Jeez, we really hope that big zit clears up before the humanoid of your dreams comes around. ‘Cause the potential life-long partner doesn’t have to stop being superficial until after the fifth date.
No, really. My Taurean side wins on this one, I can't stand the idea of committing to a tattoo.
This month you will be focused on making money, raising money, saving money and overall, managing money. The new moon, December 2, will bring a money matter to culmination. You will either write a check or get one - or both.
Definitely writing checks, alas. Rent and all. Feh, I say.
Fortunately, Saturn will be in a stabilizing angle to the full moon, so if you should need more cash and would like to find a part time or full time job, you should be able to get it.
Hmmm? Since when?
The sad thing is that I have a part time job, I just am not legally allowed to be paid for it (plus there are very few paid positions). But it's an awesome organization, so oh well.
If you have a job you've been working at for some time and have asked for a raise, you may now hear news back about that. You have good aspects, so news should be positive. However, even if you don't like the news because they say, "We don't have any more money in the budget," you would be able to find a freelance job that could help cushion your cash flow.
Raise? What raise? I got a pay cut. Why on earth does she think anyone's going to get a raise any more? This reminds me of watching National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation and thinking, "Christmas bonus? What unicorn is that?"
With Mercury retrograde in late month, just don't buy anything expensive, especially not anything electronic. I would say stop buying computers, cell phones, flat screen TVs, and other pricey electronics after December 7. You can go shopping again after January 18 or so, leaving a little room after Mercury goes direct.
And already did that on Black Friday. Hopefully nothing else will die on me between now and then.
Travel is becoming a very big theme for you with the advent of the two impending eclipses, the first arriving on December 31 as a full moon lunar eclipse, and the second one arriving as a new moon solar eclipse next month on January 15. Eclipses always bring unexpected elements to bear, so it's always best to hold back and wait a few days before taking action. It takes a while to fully understand the message of each eclipse. Keep in mind that eclipses rarely deliver their news all at once, for there is always an Act II, so observe carefully.
The December 31 eclipse will fall in your third house, so your close family relatives may be in the spotlight.
What a coincidence, given that it's the frigging holidays and all!
The relative you may be thinking about could be a sister, brother, cousin, an in-law, aunt, or uncle, but NOT likely to be one of your parents. Actually, the eclipse will more likely focus on a woman than a man. One of these individuals may be making news, so you may want to keep your cell phone powered up.
Joy. Drama eruption alert! But again, that's every holiday around here.
There's a very good chance that you will travel on or very near December 31, but it seems you won't go far - only 100 or 200 miles at the most. Because this will be New Year's Eve, it would be best to plan to stay overnight in the town you will visit, even if it is very close to home. This eclipse will be in the highly emotional sign of Cancer, so although as a Taurus you are not an overly emotional creature, others will be on this night. With Mercury retrograde too, people will be distracted or forgetful, so it is not really a night to be driving on the road. Add alcohol and you see the problem - stay safe, stay in the city you are visiting, or hire a limo driver for that evening to get you home.
This eclipse will be in hard angle to Saturn, so you may have to attend to some responsibilities suddenly (and unexpectedly) that may interfere with your plans to ring in the New Year. Stay flexible. Some eclipses affect us not on the day they appear but later. Actually, many eclipses deliver their news one month to the day later, plus or minus five days, so you may be traveling next month, near January 30, or seeing other manifestations of this eclipse come out then.
So, a crappy New Year's where I can't go anywhere and some woman is crying on me? To be honest, that's pretty much every freaking New Year's for me since about 2001. Trapped at home dealing with Parental Drama.
One last possibility exists about how this eclipse may affect you, and it deals with your talent in the communication arts. You may see your book or magazine article be published, or you may unveil a new website or blog. You may be asked to give a speech or hand in an important report or paper. This would be a great way to use this full moon eclipse. If you are on a book tour or speaking tour, you will get quite a bit of publicity.
Hm, that would actually be nice!
Scorpio:
Now let's turn to Uranus, which has influence over your solar fourth house of home and your fifth house of love, which Uranus is visiting now. Now that Uranus is about to turn direct, both areas are due to get a big boost and developments should be obvious. Watch the days that surround December 1 for a sign that a goal related to home, property, or family, or related to your finding and keeping true love, will improve dramatically. If you've had problems settling a matter related to either area of your life, you will be very gratified by the new environment you are entering into now.
That would be nice as well. I can't say I've heard that Uranus gives a boost to those things, but whatever.
Money will be the topic of conversation on the December 2 full moon, plus or minus four days. This full moon should feel quite friendly, so you may see a commission, bonus, or licensing fee from previous efforts come in. The eighth house will be lit, so this house is one that is associated with one-time chunks of cash rather than steady salary money. With Mars in such fine angle to the Sun and moon, the money seems career-oriented, so if the just-mentioned areas don't sound possible, then the money you see may come in the form of venture capital or a bank loan. It is, however, also possible that you will hear of a court settlement or insurance payout. You may also have to send someone a hefty check, but if so, don't be blue, as your outlook for bringing in more money is actually quite upbeat.
I probably won't hold my breath on that.
On the new moon December 16, you may get a raise or job offer. This new moon will be all about money, so be sure you like the job, dear Scorpio. It's not actually a good time to change jobs due to the impending retrograde planets, for you may get into the job and wonder what you were thinking when you accepted it. However, it is a good time to ask for a raise, so you must do so as soon as that new moon appears. If you are self-employed, you may now see money flow in from entrepreneurial projects you seeded earlier.
Raise? Again? What planet are you on?
Okay, so not going to Mexico this year. Fine by me anyway. Though again, this seems to be all "don't travel." It's interesting having your sun and rising signs opposite from each other: somehow the forecasts all come out alike anyway.
For New Year's Eve, you may be traveling to a distant city. This eclipse will fall in your ninth house of long distance travel, so you may even be going abroad. Saturn will be in very hard angle to the Sun and moon from your twelfth house, suggesting that you might have some sort of interaction with medical personnel at the time. I hope this does not happen, but I am seeing the possibility in the chart.
If you do travel, you will have to take precautions to stay well. Don't drink the water if it is not considered perfectly safe, and don't eat any fruit that you didn't peel first. Carry Clorox wipes or other antibacterial towelettes to wipe down your tray table, armrests, and surfaces in the airplane's toilet. Also go over various parts of your hotel room, from TV remote and phone, to draw pulls, light switches, and doorknobs. Budget cuts in every country have caused cutbacks in cleaning staff, so you can't be too careful, especially with Saturn in the twelfth house.
AW CRAP.In the meantime, it looks like the world is due for a bit of a zinger before year's end.
Eclipses bring sudden changes, but they are very effective in making us move on and evolve into more mature beings. Usually the cause is something completely unrelated to anything you've done or have control over. Because the eclipses will be in the parts of your chart ruling information, attitude, and opinion, you may later say you changed your stance on an important topic or relationship when you began to see things in a new light. Eclipses are broadening, forcing us to see a bigger picture.
Well, that's not bad.
Certain relatives are ruled by the houses involved with eclipses, so you may hear news about an aunt, uncle, cousin, in-law, sister, or brother. If you do travel, family may want to reach you, so you won't want to be out of touch.
Again: relatives cause Teh Drama, and don't go anywhere.
If you were born on or within five days of November 2, you will feel this lunar eclipse the most. One way or another, you will benefit from it, so don't freak if things seem to be going in all the wrong direction as you begin to experience the eclipse. (I am not saying you will feel this day, but if you do.) You are moving into one of the most sterling years in recent memory, so 2010 will certainly not be a rerun of last year.
I dunno, I am dreading 2010 big time. If I make it through the year employed it'll probably be a miracle. My solar return chart was pretty shitty about it.
so much up in the air
so many lobsters and other creepy crawlies coming out of
the sea of your unconscious
so many conflicting desires pulling at you
urging you to run
go on the lam
escape the inevitable
get out of the trap
confusion between fantasy and reality
that's Uranus at the end of Pisces
everybody's got a different trap
a different box
boxing them in
all the karma catching up with them
so many temptations whispering in your third ear
to just say screw it
and take the easy way out
this is what we could call a cosmic loneliness
a dissatisfaction with the way things are
Pisces Highest tension levels ever
Aquarius money it's there it's not there
Libra bugged by work, job, or weird health issues
Scorpio burning impossible love
Taurus friends and associations who leaves whom
Aries secret enemies or paranoia
Sagittarius home and family = asylum
Gemini career, public life and the fickle mob
Capricorn restless, jumpy, with many sibling issues
Cancer wild trips and religion--new style
Virgo sudden relationships
Leo sex, death and rebirth and other light topics
Well, I don't know about you, but I felt a kick in the ass for one of mine right there. SO the issue these days.
