    SELF-ACCEPTANCE

    We know that God lovingly watches over us.  We know that when we turn to Him, all will be well with us, here and hereafter.

    TWELVE STEPS AND TWELVE TRADITIONS P. 105

    I pray for the willingness to remember that I am a child of God, a divine soul in human form, and that my most basic and urgent life-task is to accept, know, love and nurture myself.  As I accept myself, I am accepting God’s will.  As I know and love myself, I am knowing and loving God.  As I nurture myself I am acting on God’s guidance.

    I pray for the willingness to let go of my arrogant self-criticism, and to praise God by humbly accepting and caring for myself.

    DAILY REFLECTIONS NOV. 11

  • Self-Esteem

    Self-esteem is a verb.  We think it’s a noun.  We also think it’s a set-point.  To some degree it might be, but it’s also a choice.  We say “I have low self-esteem.”  And we imply that it’s a permanent state.  We might tend to feel badly about ourselves in response to certain injuries, but the trick is we don’t have to agree long term.  We can choose to think highly of ourselves — and all people — as a birth right.  We can take actions that protect ourselves, thus esteem ourselves.  We can take actions in line with our values, thus feeling good about ourselves and our choices.  We can disagree when our inner critic puts us down.  We can avoid squashing it when our inner cheerleader says something applauding our small victories.  When we have a self-esteem relapse, we can be gentle with ourselves and heal.

  • Depression

    The worst part of depression is the fatigue.  It is practically unalterable.

  • My Transits Today

    Moon
    Moon in 9th House
    A good time to philosophize, take a turn toward more lasting values. Right now, you can expect support from friends and co-workers regarding all things candid and honest.

    Moon Sextile Sun
    There is a chance to understand those around you and to have a special time with someone you love. General good feeling and a sense of support and harmony make this a happy time.

    Moon Square Mercury
    Others may cut you off or make it difficult for you to express yourself today. You could find that you lack depth and feeling and the ability to move or communicate with others. Your ideas may not find the support you need.

    Moon Sextile Jupiter
    A great time to be with others and to work together. You may be sought after as just the person for a particular job. Your management and directional abilities are in high focus.

    Moon Opposition Saturn
    You might like to ignore responsibilities and do some socializing, but realities may demand that you tend to business and forget your friends for the moment. The crowd may ignore you and leave you (old sober-sides) to take care of business.

    Sun

    Sun in 11th House
    A time for resolutions, for attempting to put into practice your ideals and dreams. You may feel moved to cooperate and work together with others on community and long-term projects. You want to make your ideals a reality.

    Sun Conjunction Sun
    This is the start of a new year cycle. Why not reserve some time today to celebrate and enjoy yourself? There could be a window in time that opens now, making insights possible. Take a look. Also, one of these days is a happy birthday! (last week)

    Sun Trine Jupiter
    A very lucky day for making plans or decisions and finding your way through just about any problem you may discover. You feel successful and able to cope. Good advice from a guide or older person may be forthcoming. A good day.

    Sun Trine Saturn
    Today you will be able to tackle tasks that require real discipline or organization. You find yourself in a very practical mood and working with, instead of against, yourself. You may have some serious or contemplative moments.

    M e r c u r y
    Mercury in 11th House
    Ideas of a social or humanitarian nature are in the air. You may communicate or come up with new thoughts and concepts that affect the way you are able to put your dreams and visions into practice.

    Mercury Conjunction Mercury
    You are just plain witty now, and the ideas roll off your tongue. A real time for communicate — by phone, by letter or in person. The mind is clear.

    Mercury Trine Saturn
    Put your mind to work and take care of any details that you may have, for mental discipline should come easily. Problems and obstacles that have heretofore been confounding should find easy explanations under your keen examination.

    Mercury Sextile Uranus
    Quick answers, great wit, and a surplus of insights and solutions are at the ready. A good time to write and communicate with real originality. Inventions and breakthroughs are possible.

    Mercury Conjunction Neptune
    You find yourself at your most imaginative, at least when it comes to ideas and thoughts. Right now you have an opportunity to transcend the everyday thoughts and soar into more cosmic or eternal musings.

    Mercury Sextile Pluto
    In-depth discussions and probing conversations find you at your mental best. Your analytical abilities are at a high point.

    V e n u s
    Venus in 10th House
    You are in a mood to appreciate whatever is practical and clear-headed. Perhaps this could manifest as a renewed appreciation for work or career. You value organization and a detailed approach to problem-solving.

    Venus Conjunction Sun
    You are in a (perhaps) rare mood of self-enjoyment and can appreciate your own better qualities. You may see value in or feel love for an older person or someone in authority.

    Venus Trine Jupiter
    The good life, and all that is fine and luxurious, may be what you value just now. You could enjoy making your own way and finding solutions to whatever problems you have.

    Venus Trine Saturn
    You feel a love of order and law — an appreciation for responsibilities and duty. Problems are valued for the lessons they represent, rather than perceived as obstacles.

    M a r s
    Mars in 12th House
    You may have an urge to be more forgiving, to give in a little and to put up with what you can see are minor aggravations. You seem to understand and have the energy to sacrifice yourself a little.

    Mars Conjunction Moon
    You have a lot of energy for improving your surroundings or life situations. You are very motivated to improve. There could be some hard feelings, especially from younger persons, if you become too aggressive.

    Mars Square Saturn
    Relax. This is not an easy time. Your own drive and emotions are hard set against the way things are, your particular set of realities. Push on now and you risk breaking something. Be patient, and let this one blow over.

    J u p i t e r
    Jupiter in 3rd House
    You may find yourself succeeding and moving ahead by using your mind and thoughts. Also, communication and research in all forms could be a key area for career growth.

    Jupiter Trine Mercury
    You find that you can really use your mind to make clear choices and think things through. Career decisions are straightforward and easy to make. You make your way through ideas, concepts, and your ability to communicate and express them to others.

    Jupiter Square Venus
    Career decisions that point to real success may go against your sense of values. You may not be able to appreciate this particular way or road to success. The way life is going may seem to ignore much of what you love and appreciate.

    Jupiter Square Mars
    You may not feel like taking the obvious road to success that has opened in front of you. Good choices from a career standpoint may tend to ignore your feelings and ambitions. Your own basic drive may be at odds with the direction your life is taking.

    Jupiter Square Jupiter
    Your career may be at a rather delicate point and under a lot of pressure. It could be hard to find solutions or make the right decisions as to how to proceed. The whole process could be stopped up and sluggish. You may have to bide your time.

    Jupiter Opposition Uranus
    Career choices, the obvious path that is opening up for you, may grate against your own sense of freedom and independence. Success and security at the expense of originality may be too great a price to pay. Some middle road could be found.

    Jupiter Trine Neptune
    You will prosper by pursuing your ideals and most deep-seated dreams of how life could be. Don’t be afraid to project that image, make those dreams real. Ideas of group cooperation and communion (mass images) could further your career.

    Jupiter Opposition Pluto
    Your career choices may go against your own sensitivity and need for change and growth. You may have to struggle to balance these two real needs: success on one hand and personal growth on the other. This should be an interesting balancing act.

    S a t u r n
    Saturn in 10th House
    A time to be disciplined regarding your career and lock your practical skills into routine and good habits. Your mind and decision-making abilities should be at a peak. Organizational and management skills are in high gear.

    Saturn Sextile Moon
    A good time, when your efforts really pay off and things seem to run smoothly. Now you have an ability for sustained work that allows you to coordinate and organize like never before. Bring to fruition uncompleted tasks or character development.

    U r a n u s
    Uranus in 3rd House
    You become more insightful and innovative in your ideas and ability to communicate. Unique and unconventional approaches to study or research (any kind of inquiry) are forthcoming.

    Uranus Trine Mercury
    A time to have new thoughts and sudden insights and to get an unexpected boost in the way you think, speak, or write. Communications are facilitated, connections of all kinds, news, and so on, are furthered, often at the expense of tradition, established order.

    Uranus Square Venus
    Your value system may receive a challenge from a new independent streak that wants to break away and try new things. You may not appreciate the urge to upset and change things that is trying to assert itself. This leads to tension.

    Uranus Square Jupiter
    An urge on your part to rebel or break away could affect your career direction or vocation. Your wish to be independent, to try new things, and so on comes at an inappropriate time and could cause real tensions at work.

    N e p t u n e
    Neptune in 2nd House
    You have more imagination when it comes to finances, choosing possessions, and the material world in general. A growing sense of idealism affects your productivity and material concerns. You may work to establish some cooperative, communal goals.

    Neptune Trine Sun
    You find that you are able to bring more imagination to bear on your goals and ambitions now. You might find your ideals taking a more spiritual turn, thus involving you more in community and religious projects.

    Neptune Square Mercury
    A long dreamy time when you find it easy to lose yourself in one flight of fancy or another, often at the expense of rational thinking and good judgment. Normally clear ideas are fuzzy now, and it is hard to be logical or consistent.

    Neptune Trine Jupiter
    Your career could become almost ideal, or you could find yourself taking an interest in more spiritual and mystical matters. The direction of your life could turn more to questions of religion and world unity. Occult and esoteric subjects may concern you.

    Neptune Square Neptune
    A time when dreams, fantasies, and the urge to be free of this hard world could themselves be a fantasy that deceives and misleads you. Your own goals and ideals may be stressed and challenged.

    P l u t o
    Pluto in 1st House – where it’s been forever!
    You become personally more direct, less interested in appearances, and more able to cut through to the real business at hand. Your ability to be and act on the spot is strengthened. Your intensity will be obvious to others.

    Pluto Sextile Sun
    You could receive some help in the form of a real drive towards realizing your inner self and your life ambitions. You are able to cut through a lot that is unessential and get on with the real work. Also, a special relationship with an authority figure or teacher.

    Pluto Opposition Jupiter
    Career opportunities and choices go dead against what you feel in your gut to be right. Your own sense of honesty and sensitivity squares off with some possible moves that could lead you nowhere or, worse, lead you astray.

    Node
    Node in 1st House
    You take on responsibility because of who you are and what you are, and as a result you are your own burden, answerable ultimately only to yourself. There is innate isolation because of it, and your greatest desire and ultimate reward is a partner to share it with. But for that, you must forge it, and yourself, first.

    Node Opposition Jupiter
    You attract big plans and are likely to be incorporated in them, sometimes without your knowledge or permission. That can be great, or chaotic, depending. Bite off all you can chew, but don’t let your mouth eat more than your belly can hold. Stop when you’re comfortably full, don’t wait for life overload.

      The Cross and Triangle spread is a powerful means of understanding complex situations, developed by the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. This spread is rich in occult and mystical symbolism, and one of our favorites here at Facade. The Haindl Tarot weaves a tapestry of haunting beauty from the traditions of Native America, the Holy Grail, the I Ching, Kabbalah and the Norse Runes, and is the deck of choice for mystics and those seeking enlightenment. If you would like your own copy of the Haindl Tarot, you can buy it now!

Help or advice.  I Ching Hexagram 21 Biting Through. While the swords do not cut the trees, the trees appear ill. They symbolize nature in trouble, and a sick spirituality. A bright light shines on the trees and plants.

    Biting through.  A Bright light.

    The second card, placed above the significator, represents Air. It describes your spirit, process of thought, and the influence of reason. Death: The Death card rarely refers to physical death. Rather, it has to do with one’s feelings about Death. Psychologically letting go. New opportunities.  The image of the boat belongs to birth as well as to Death; the baby’s cradle originally symbolized the boat. The trees and grass signify plants, the bones minerals, the birds, the animal world, and the ferryman, the human world. The peacock’s eye in the center signifies looking at the truth in regard to looking at Death. The bird also signifies the soul and the divine potential of a person.

    The fourth card, placed below the significator, represents Water. I Ching Hexagram 49 Revolution. The top of the phallic stone column resembles a brain, suggesting the human body.

    The fifth card, placed to the left of the significator represents Earth. I Ching Hexagram 9 The Taming Power of the Small. Brown, bare rock suggests unfulfilled hope. The water is a thin stream, disappointment. A single cup catches the water, and so the experience has not been wasted. It describes your physical presence, position in life, and the influence of the material world. Five of Cups (Disappointment), when reversed: Coming out of disappointment. A realistic view of the past.

    At this point the cross is complete and the triangle is formed. I Ching Hexagram 1 The Creative. The peacock symbolizes rebirth and balance. It is a fantasy bird, emphasizing the importance of fantasy in love. Two cups show two people joining together in love. The sixth card, placed on the bottom left of the triangle represents one of two opposing forces. Two of Cups (Love), when reversed: Quarreling or jealousy. Uncertain future. Lack of commitment.

    could be quarreling…

    Click for Details

    The seventh card, placed on the bottom right of the triangle represents the force that opposes the bottom left card. These forces may be external, but they are frequently one’s own inner archetypes in conflict.  The serene face of the Spider Woman, the mother, radiates the labyrinth of her thoughts. The woman stands unmoving against a background in which the Earth and the sky seem to join. The labyrinth forms a spiral.  Mother of Stones (Spider Woman), when reversed: Difficulty in staying still and appreciating life. Loss of personal center.

    loss of personal center

    Click for Details

    The eighth card, the reconciler, is placed below the cross in the third vertex of the triangle. This is the force that will resolve the conflict between the bottom left and bottom right cards. Kali’s main color is black, for non-being. She wears a moon crown and has six limbs, the number of The Lovers. She is copulating with a dead Shiva, her consort. A snake winds around Shiva. Kali looms up huge in the sky, her feet on the earth. By meditating on this force and bringing more of it into your life, you can bring the matter at hand to a swifter conclusion than would naturally occur. Mother of Wands (Kali), when reversed: Kali-like energy suppressed. Destructiveness outweighs joy and love.

    repression of energy

    The ninth and final card, placed in the center bottom of the triangle, represents the final outcome unless you change course. The Wheel of Fortune, when reversed: Difficulty adjusting to changes. Resistance to change.

  • today for me

    Monday, 20 Sep 2010 at 07:44 AM MERCURY Opposite SATURN (1.0 degree) – MERCURY at 09 VIR 42 Your thinking may be concentrated, obstructed, morose or limited today. Saturn has a way of throwing cold water and constraints on things. Depression is possible, but it will pass, so try to stay optimistic. There may be delays in mail or letters or phone calls. A negative mental outlook along with an unwillingness to accept the ideas of others is characteristic of this aspect. Don’t be worried over a lack of inspiration. It won’t last long. People will challenge your ideas.

    MARS Conjunct SUN (0.3 degree) – MARS at 03 SCO 47 You should have lots of energy and vitality today. Go out and get some exercise. Be careful not to get into arguments with your superiors or with people in authority, like policemen. Avoid confrontations that involve your ego. Instead, channel the energy and potential hostility into something creative like your favorite hobby. The important thing is to express yourself in a constructive manner. How about playing in the park with a group of children? Do not overexert yourself or put too much strain on your heart. This means controlling your temper. Anger is one of the hardest things on your heart. Don’t lay out in the sun too long. You may burn easier today than normal. Watch yourself around the stove or anything hot. Focus on being humble. Put your ego in the backseat.

  • trying to figure out my transits

    Sun 9th

    For the next month or so, your focus turns outward, away from the more personal concerns that have occupied your thoughts in the last months. More than any other time during the year, you are feeling most adventurous and willing to take a leap of faith. This is a cycle in which you seek a higher meaning to your life, and/or seek out new experiences that take you beyond the here and now, and beyond the mundane details of day-to-day life. Anything that broadens your experiences attracts now. A lack of superficiality finds you straight to the point, interested in the truth of things. It would be wise for you to consider scheduling a vacation, adventure of sorts, or a course that expands your mind. These don’t have to happen now, but taking the time to recognize your needs for escaping the daily grind, taking a few risks, and feeding your spirit for self-expression through some form of adventure or higher learning, will help you to feel good about yourself. The only caution with this cycle is that you could lose touch with everyday affairs and important details.

    Moon 9th

    New Moon in the Ninth House

    The ninth house rules our spirit to grow, explore, and expand beyond the “regular” experiences in our lives. The New Moon here may bring some restlessness and dissatisfaction with regular routines. Make an effort to initiate new projects or activities that expand your mind, feed your spirit for adventure, and stretch your imagination. You may feel renewed by a new perspective on your life, something philosophical or spiritual that you read or learn, or an adventure that takes you away from the mundane routines in your life.

    Mercury 9th R

    Mercury Stationary Retrograde in 9th House
    Sometimes painting life with a broad brush can cause you to miss messy details that then slow you down. The next three weeks are a great time to pause and make sure the rug rats and ankle biters are not in a position to sidetrack your whole operation because you ignored them. It’s time to give the small things their due so they can serve your larger purpose. By doing so, you may discover a better version of your own vision as well. Don’t hurry, you’ve got time, and you may find that in the end tapping resources you had ignored will trigger a rising tide that floats all boats, not just your own.

    Venus 10th

    During this cycle, you are most charming and well-received on the job. Yeah, right. Your responsibility and authority are likeable qualities now, making this a favorable period overall for schmoozing with those in a higher position than you, as well as for negotiations or social activities related to business. Venus is charming, friendly, and affectionate, and her presence in your career and reputation sector brings social opportunities to your career. You are coming across well at work now, and romantic opportunities, or simply more chances to socialize and network, are likely. You are socially ambitious right now, and success may come though your good managerial qualities or some form of artistic talent, or, indirectly through your marriage partner. People who turn your head during this cycle are those who come across as especially competent.

    Mars 10th

    This transit stimulates your ambition and/or your desire to be recognized for your accomplishments. Whether it’s professional or personal, you are likely to have an increased desire for others to notice you. This can be a good time to become self-employed or start a business if other factors (and Mars itself) are favorable. Conflicts with those in authority are possible now. You may pour more energy into self-promotion or business/career activities.

    Jupiter 3rd

    Educational and communication opportunities present themselves during this cycle. You may increase your knowledge and skills set, and find much enjoyment in so doing. During this long-term trend, neighbors or relatives could be especially beneficial. Your knowledge grows and your ability to disseminate this knowledge sharpens. You express your ideas with more enthusiasm, and they are received well. You are able to understand complex subjects and explain them in such a way that others can readily understand; thus, teaching or authoring may be prosperous now. Opportunities for travel or advanced study may present themselves. This might be a good time to take a course due to the fact that you are more receptive to learning and expanding your knowledge and skills. You may decide to buy a new car, or transportation opportunities present themselves, making it much easier for you to get from point A to point B. You are more cheerful and sociable, and others tend to appreciate your company more as a result. Gifts or opportunities may come through visits, short trips, messages, emails, or they could come through contacts with siblings, classmates, and neighbors. Some sort of positive news or announcement is likely to be part of the picture. If you’re an author, you will find many opportunities and your creative juices flow nicely. If you’re a student, school is especially favored. If you’re in business or trade, you are likely to find sales are especially strong. In general, you find much joy in communicating, learning, and socializing. Particularly if Jupiter transits trine to planets in the seventh and/or eleventh, new friendships or partnerships may be formed now.

    Uranus 3rd

    You may be easily bored or distracted when it comes to traditional mental pursuits during this cycle. You may pick up a brand new study, for example. You are more attracted to unusual ideas, fields, and concepts. Exposure to new ideas open up new worlds to you. New opportunities to express yourself, particularly through speaking and writing, can suddenly enter your life. You may be communicating more about your past or finding people to relate with more readily. You are likely to make changes in your life that break you out of your usual routines. These changes are unlikely to be jarring or dramatic–quite the contrary! It feels good to break out of your shell a little and to take a few healthy risks. Acquaintances, siblings, or casual friends and communications may be catalysts for this new self-expression. You may make little changes to your personal appearance or to your mannerisms that reflect the changes going on inside, particularly if Uranus is also transiting sextile to your Ascendant.

    Saturn 9th

    This period in our lives is generally dedicated to self-improvement. We are developing our ideals and our commitments as transiting Saturn makes its way through our ninth house. Ideals and spiritual goals that we may have taken for granted or worked with for many years suddenly seem superficial or not particularly useful to us. If we have been studying, we must watch for a period of questioning exactly what we are working towards. Does this line of study match our true selves? Some of us begin new studies as we unconsciously prepare ourselves for Saturn’s next house transit. But most of us come face to face with our self-defeating attitudes during this period of time. The ninth house is a fire house, and it has much to do with our outlook, our sense of adventure, and our confidence. It also is associated with our faith, hope, and vision. Although its attachment to such things as higher learning and travel might mean that a Saturn transit to this house will affect these things, but for most of us, it is more about taking a closer look at, and re-assessing, our attitude and confidence. At the beginning of the transit, we may feel a little somber. The blind faith or optimism that may have carried us to date comes up for inspection. Are our belief systems sound? What do we stand for? What kind of future are we working towards, and why? The spirit that drives us and motivates us to move out and beyond the everyday grind comes up for inspection. By the end of the transit, we will have re-worked our spirit, and come face to face with what it is that offers us hope and optimism as well as that which fuels our drive. The initial entrance of Saturn into our ninth house may cause us to question ourselves, but by the end of the transit, if we work hard at self-improvement, we will have replaced our old spirit with a re-generated one. We will be one step closer to knowing where we are headed, and we will have re-built faith in ourselves. A shaky feeling that causes us to sputter and avoid risks will be replaced with a more mature attitude towards adventure and facing the unknown. We let go of self-defeating attitudes that have been holding us back, we recognize exactly where we have been overdoing our expectations, and we find new ways to nurture faith, hope, and vision.

    Neptune 2nd

    Neptune’s influence in the second house has the effect of changing your value system. You may be careless with your money during this long-term cycle. Some financial insecurity may be part of the picture. Watching out for scams or risky speculative investments is necessary.

    Pluto 1st

    Pluto Transits Through Your First House: This starts with Pluto making a conjunction with your Ascendant (see Pluto Transits in Aspect to Your Natal Ascendant) , but the effect can last for years. Usually, you will become more assertive. This is the “Nobody better mess with me” transit. It also can bring suppressed feelings and desires up to the surface, things that you don’t want to face. Some tend to become more domineering with Pluto. Others try to suppress this, but find instead that they seem to attract people who try to push them around. Pluto transiting your first house can also make you more aware of things around you, as well as the motivations of the people with whom you come into contact. No, everything hasn’t changed. You are just more sensitive to things under a Pluto transit of your first house.


     

    SUN Square MOON (0.7 degree) – SUN at 13 VIR 02
    You must balance your emotions with your individuality.  You may  have difficulties today dealing with the opposite sex, authority figures or family members. Ego confrontations over emotional issues are likely to be the cause. Vitality may be low today, so keep stress to  a minimum. Try to understand others’ points of view before  expressing your  own. Get in touch with your true feelings. Emotional impulses may interfere with objective and good judgment.

    MERCURY Opposite SATURN (1.8 degree) – MERCURY at 08 VIR 54
    Your  thinking  may  be  concentrated, obstructed,  morose or  limited today.  Saturn has a  way of  throwing cold  water and  constraints on things.  Depression  is possible,  but it  will pass,  so try  to stay optimistic.  There may be delays in mail or letters or phone calls.  A negative  mental  outlook along  with an  unwillingness to  accept the ideas of others is characteristic of  this aspect.   Don’t be  worried over a lack of inspiration.  It won’t last long. People will challenge your ideas.

    JUPITER Square JUPITER (0.8 degree) – JUPITER at 00 ARI 26
    This transit brings a  tendency to  overdo.  You  will be  inclined to take on more than you can handle, promising more of your time than you have available, and you  will probably  spend too  much.  If  you take great pains to keep everything you  do in  proportion, this  can be  a successful time for you because your optimism is running high.

    Tuesday, 07 Sep 2010 at 09:15 AM Back to work

    SUN Square MARS (1.9 degree) – SUN at 14 VIR 59
    You are full of it today, high energy, force of will, and a dislike of any restraint.  Slow down  a little  so you  don’t go  flying off  the handle. Physical, mental, and verbal confrontations are likely  today,  so stay in control. Don’t speed today as  the police  may be  watching  you.  Don’t stay out in the sun too  long. Your  will is  tested today and the universe wants to see if you can keep your head.  As they say, ”Don’t have a cow.” Ego conflicts and selfishness are today’s  problem areas.

    VENUS Trine JUPITER (1.9 degree) – VENUS at 29 LIB 16
    Peace and harmony should be yours today. People love you and you  love    them. You will go out of your way to help others today because you are  full of  friendliness and  you want  to see  others happy.   Financial transactions  go  smoothly  today  and you  seem to  attract money  or material possessions. Relationships are warm and there is love in  the air.

    Sun conjunct Uranus – Sept 10 and 11
    A new personal cycle of independence, progressiveness, and change begins. You are more inclined to accept and appreciate all that is new, unusual, and avant garde. You have an opportunity to shine for what makes you unique. This transit gives a green light for matters concerning the media, computers, and metaphysical subjects. Restlessness and a need for change is indicated. You simply won’t stand for restrictions now! Your ego is awakened and you seek new ways to express yourself, as this is a time of self-discovery. There is a need to be creative and unique in your expression of self. This is usually a time to join with groups and/or to become a group leader. It’s also an easy time to make new friends. Sudden, unexpected events can happen out of the blue. You might find yourself thrust into new–perhaps thrilling–experiences. This can be a time when others notice a sparkle in your eye and find you endearingly clever and witty.

    Sun conjunct Pluto- Sept 10 and 11
    You are strong-willed and focused under this influence. The need to gain more control over your life motivates you to greater heights. You benefit most now from strategy and perhaps keeping things to yourself for the time being–you don’t have to reveal all that’s on your mind. You are in the position to gain some personal power–keep your eye out for opportunities, and do look beyond appearances. Some people find lost items or uncover resources–material or otherwise–under the influence of this transit. A “Eureka” can occur now. Self-discovery is the name of the game.

    Mercury conjunct Pluto – Sept 26 and 27
    You may uncover valuable information or gain understanding under this influence. Thoughts, ideas, and communications are more intense and focused. You are more able–and motivated–to find hidden meanings and to cut to the chase. Efficiency and relevancy become important. Your mind is investigative and probing, and you may be determined to reveal truths. Your persuasive powers, strategic thinking, and observational skills increase. Superficial conversations, connections, and topics have little appeal to you now.

    Mercury conjunct Uranus – Sept 26 and 27
    Expressing your more “way-out” or unconventional opinions comes naturally to you now. The ability to grasp intellectual concepts is high right now. Your intuition is spot-on, and you tend to have the right idea at the right moment. Your senses may be overloaded, however, to the point that you are scatter-brained, impulsive, nervous, or impatient. It’s too easy to go off on tangents rather than concentrate on one task at a time now. If channeled well, however, your ideas are inventive, original, progressive, and unbiased.

    Sun square Moon – Sept 05
    This is a brief period in which emotional frustrations or setbacks are more like to occur. Relationship problems that arise now likely have their roots in emotional unrest and some confusion between what you want to do and what you think you should do. You are more excitable than usual, and less inclined to make rational, thought-out decisions. Whims could take hold. If you are having problems on the domestic front, they are magnified now. Do your best not to force changes in your life. Circumstances and others tend to be less supportive than usual, and you might find you have to push yourself harder to achieve the same results you would on other days of the month. This is not an ideal time for new enterprises or undertakings. Inner restlessness may take you out of your typical routine. You are more inclined to become “stressed out” now and more inclined to catch a cold or to feel slightly under the weather. Relationships with others may be strained for the time being. This is a good time to uncover issues of emotional unrest that have been bubbling under the surface, and to take steps to take better care of your emotional needs.

    Sun square Venus

    Transiting Sun square or opposite your natal Venus. This is a period when the focus in your life is on your relationships to your loved ones. You will become aware of how these relationships are working and whether they are mutual or one sided arrangements. Any relationship that becomes difficult now is in need of revision as you need to reassess what it is that you wish to gain from the relationship and what you are going to do for the other person(s) in return. Sometimes problems in your relationships may lead to increased

    Sun square Mars

    Transiting Sun square or opposite your natal Mars. You are likely to be in a competitive mood and may lack tact in your relations with others. As a result, there are often significant conflicts now. Your superiors may consider you insubordinate if you push your agenda too hard. Decisions that you make may meet with considerable frustration or lack of success. You may be accident prone, especially if you were born during the day. Physical altercations, cuts and brusies are more likely.

    Mercury square Moon, Venus, Mars

    Sun opposition Saturn
    Your confidence may be undermined by feelings of doubt, pessimism, or feelings of guilt just now. Encountering obstacles to progress and inhibitions in your own attitude are prominent under this influence. You could be plagued by a feeling of not being good enough. Lack of faith in yourself, in others, and in life itself could put a damper on your initiatives. This is a time when others don’t seem to notice your efforts, when progress appears to be minimal if at all, when nobody seems to extend their hand to you, when you need to go it alone and you could feel resentful for it! Life doesn’t seem to be playing in your style. Because this is one of your less attractive and magnetic periods of the year, you might want to avoid scheduling personally significant activities, job interviews, or self-promotion efforts during this period. Although there is a positive side to every aspect, while it’s happening, this one doesn’t feel very good. A heavy dose of realism seems forced upon you now, but your efforts to measure up to expectations can ultimately increase your confidence in your ability to be responsible for yourself. This influence is a somber one.

    Mercury opposted Saturn

    Uranus square Jupiter: Unexpected expenses

    Beginning of June 2010 until mid February 2012: This period brings a great feeling of exuberance and optimism, which is fine, but it can lead you to be foolishly overconfident and to take unwarranted financial and material risks. This influence brings out the gambler in almost anyone. However, it is hard to know exactly what to expect from this one, and you may find yourself in trouble if you don’t restrain your optimism a bit. Nothing at all may happen, but you just don’t know. So proceed with caution, especially in financial matters, and be careful not to leave any loose ends. 

    Even if you don’t take risks, this influence can sometimes cause unexpected expenses or financial shortages. But that happens because you have failed to take into account some factor that could cause trouble for you at this time.

    If you have a realistic attitude toward the way the world works, what you can and cannot do effectively, especially in financial matters, this influence will not do any particular damage. It may even bring a sudden chance to take advantage of a situation. Just make sure that it’s a real opportunity. If you are not clear about your limitations, this transit could bring some unpleasant surprises. 

    At the same time, this influence may symbolize striking out against the system. You may adopt a different set of values from the prevailing culture and pursue a lifestyle that is quite different from the way you have lived. If you do, you may experience considerable disapproval from your friends and others around you at this time. But this is not a violent rebellion, it is just that you have begun to experience the world differently from those around you. As a result your point of view is different. You wish to be free of the narrowness that you see in others.

     Jupiter square Jupiter: Impending shortages  

    Beginning of June 2010 until beginning of February 2011: With this influence it is very important that you keep your affairs from getting out of hand. There is a strong tendency to excess, which may make it impossible to keep up with whatever you are involved in, simply because it is more than you can handle. Be particularly careful concerning financial matters, for you are likely to spend without thinking, confident that there is an abundance of money or other resources to back you up. You may not notice the pinch immediately, but shortly after this period you may experience shortages that will be severely exacerbated if you spend money foolishly now. 

    But money is not the only area of concern. You may be overcommitted to projects that demand more time than you really have. So in every area of your life, make sure that you really have the time or resources to do what you have set out to do. Do not overestimate the resources at your disposal. 

    If you avoid that pitfall, this can be a very fruitful influence, because it gives you more confidence and optimism and allows you to undertake projects that you would ordinarily be reluctant to take on. Also your basically positive attitude helps to ensure that your affairs will turn out the way you want. 

    Under this influence some persons experience a kind of ego inflation in which they have delusions of grandeur or overestimate their self-importance. This can lead to arrogant behavior and inflated pride with little or no real substance behind it.

    What this influence does is test your sense of proportion. You have to know what you really can and cannot do and who you really are. Insofar as you fulfill those conditions, this influence will give you apparent luck and greater power to achieve. 

    Saturn conjunction MC: Peak opportunities  

    6 September 2010 until 22 September 2010: This is the time when all your past preparations for the future will have their most important consequences. This influence represents an important life pinnacle for you, but it also entails very important duties and responsibilities. 

    About fourteen years ago, you began a new cycle of personal development. During this entire period you have laid the framework for what will happen now.

    As you approach this culmination of years of effort and ambition, it is very important to review just what you have been trying to achieve and how you have been going about it. The more solidly you have laid the foundations for your success, the greater your capability for achievement at this time. But if you have taken shortcuts anywhere or broken the rules of the game you are playing, you will have trouble in those areas of your life. 

    The areas of your life that you have prepared carefully will become tremendously productive now. Your opportunities are at a peak for achievement and for additional responsibility and power in your work and in your personal life. People will look to you for leadership, whether you want it or not. 

    If your preparation for this period of your life has been sloppy or full of shortcuts, or if you try to avoid its increased responsibilities, you run the risk of losing everything, even in the areas where you have prepared well and have taken responsibility.

    Saturn sextile Moon: Family matters

    Beginning of November 2010 until mid August 2011: This influence gives you a sense of discipline and self-control, which will make it easier to deal with the emotionally complicated issues in your life that you normally avoid. At this time you can deal with difficult relationships that you could not handle in the past with proper detachment and objectivity. You can reflect upon your feelings and examine them without letting them control you. Make whatever changes should be made in your personal life with confidence that you are seeing the truth clearly.

    This influence enables you to build constructively upon your past and to embody its best teachings into your current life. Anything you do at this time must have a strong connection with your past life. This is not the time to make a radical break with tradition.

    A related effect is that during this time family matters may become very important to you, especially matters concerning one or both of your parents. Here again the self-control that this influence confers will ensure that your family interactions are constructive. You are in better control than usual of your unconscious attitudes and the behavior generated by them, especially as regards family and loved ones.

    However, along with all of this is the need to be aware of what you are doing, which is relatively easy with this influence. But if you take a passive attitude and simply let things slide by you with no effort on your part, the old patterns in your life will take over, and little progress will be made. This period is an opportunity to take conscious control in your life. Nothing will force you to do so if you don’t want to, but you would lose an excellent opportunity. 

    Saturn sextile Mars: Unstinting labor

    Mid December 2010 until end of September 2011: At this time, controlled activity in any aspect of your life can do a great deal for you. You are able to direct your effort toward building a project slowly and thoroughly, so that whatever you build at this time will probably last. Your attitude toward your objectives is reasonable and practical, which helps greatly in attaining what you want. This is not a time for big ideas, but rather for very thorough accomplishments in limited areas. Often it will help enormously to subordinate your own ego drives in order to work in groups with other people now.

    Your physical efforts are more disciplined at this time. You are able to work long and hard on a task, whether it is physical or mental, and not give up until it is done. Superiors and coworkers will admire you for this, and you may get much more credit than people who work in a grandiose style but less thoroughly. You find it relatively easy to accept limitations that are imposed upon you and to work within any framework that is presented to you. This makes it easier to work with other people.

    Others may think of you as a “grind” at this time. In fact, your disciplined attitude toward work makes you a very formidable person, because you will accomplish whatever you set out to do, not by luck, but by hard, unstinting labor.

    This influence favors hard work for relatively modest objectives, all forms of careful, precise work – polishing, metal work, working with stones – and work that requires very careful measurements.

    Jupiter conjunction IC: Your inward needs

    15 February 2011 until 24 February 2011: This is a time for expansion and growth in your innermost personal life, a time when you will seek security at home and with your immediate family. It may be necessary to reexamine your past life to find out what it can teach you about yourself. But this should not be a source of anxiety. In fact, you should feel quite good about what you learn at this time. Your parents may be able to assist you considerably in this process.

     The symbolism of this influence is that you incorporate more and more of the outer world into your innermost life. On the material level, you may buy a larger, more elegant or more spacious home. Certainly it would be a good expression of this symbolism to improve your existing home and make it more comfortable.

    At this time you should do everything to ensure that your personal life is as comfortable and secure as possible. You need to have a feeling of inner peace and security in order to continue to move out in the world. In fact you should not think so much about outward success now as about the more personal and inward needs that we have discussed here. And you should realize that your real need now is not land or a larger home, but a feeling of strength and inner growth.

    This is the time to tie up any loose ends in your personal life, straighten out any relationships that are not working well, any leftovers from your past life that are still affecting the present adversely. To do this you may have to speak to others very openly about yourself and your innermost thoughts.

    So this is a good time to settle and put down roots. The feeling of belonging to a place and a group of people is very important to you now. You don’t have to do this in a way that limits your freedom of movement, and during this time it is very unlikely that you will do so. But everyone needs a solid home base so that they can feel at peace in their other activities. If you don’t make an effort to construct such a base now, you will have difficulty later when your principal concerns are turning elsewhere.

    Beginning of June 2010 until beginning of February 2011: With this influence it is very important that you keep your affairs from getting out of hand. There is a strong tendency to excess, which may make it impossible to keep up with whatever you are involved in, simply because it is more than you can handle. Be particularly careful concerning financial matters, for you are likely to spend without thinking, confident that there is an abundance of money or other resources to back you up.

    Jupiter conjunction IC: Your inward needs

    15 February 2011 until 24 February 2011: This is a time for expansion and growth in your innermost personal life, a time when you will seek security at home and with your immediate family. It may be necessary to reexamine your past life to find out what it can teach you about yourself. But this should not be a source of anxiety. In fact, you should feel quite good about what you learn at this time. Your parents may be able to assist you considerably in this process.

     The symbolism of this influence is that you incorporate more and more of the outer world into your innermost life. On the material level, you may buy a larger, more elegant or more spacious home. Certainly it would be a good expression of this symbolism to improve your existing home and make it more comfortable.

     At this time you should do everything to ensure that your personal life is as comfortable and secure as possible. You need to have a feeling of inner peace and security in order to continue to move out in the world. In fact you should not think so much about outward success now as about the more personal and inward needs that we have discussed here. And you should realize that your real need now is not land or a larger home, but a feeling of strength and inner growth.

     This is the time to tie up any loose ends in your personal life, straighten out any relationships that are not working well, any leftovers from your past life that are still affecting the present adversely. To do this you may have to speak to others very openly about yourself and your innermost thoughts.

    So this is a good time to settle and put down roots. The feeling of belonging to a place and a group of people is very important to you now. You don’t have to do this in a way that limits your freedom of movement, and during this time it is very unlikely that you will do so. But everyone needs a solid home base so that they can feel at peace in their other activities. If you don’t make an effort to construct such a base now, you will have difficulty later when your principal concerns are turning elsewhere.
