Sun Transits my First House
Rebirth of the self
The Sun illuminates your first house for the next few weeks, bringing issues surrounding your personal identity, appearance, outward behavior, and self-expression to the forefront. This marks the height of your physical solar cycle, and you are in the position to make an impression on others, and to assert your personal influence beyond its normal boundaries. Spontaneity of expression is what this transit is about. You are ready to put your past behind you and to start a new personal cycle. You have presence and you project confidence. Increased energy and a renewed feeling of confidence is with you now, so take advantage. It’s a great month to do something entirely new and pioneering�to go solo in some area of your life. This particular season of the year smiles on your personal endeavors. This is a time when you more easily get in touch with a true sense of your identity and purpose. The most enterprising side of your nature pushes up and out, and it’s time to seize opportunities. Problems in your life may be overcome by bravery, self-assertion, and directness. There’s nothing wrong with a bit of self-centeredness during this cycle, but avoid taking it too far. It’s not the best time for team work and other cooperative endeavors. The spotlight is on you and your ability to lead, so make it a good one! Take steps to improve how you come across to others. It’s time to carve your own path in life.

Moon moves too quickly
Mercury will Transit my Second House
This is a strong period for analyzing your cash flow, income, and earning power. You are more practical and rational in your approach to finances now. With your conscious mind focused on money and possessions, as well as personal values, this can be a strong period for gathering new money-making ideas. Alternatively, it could be a time when you tend to fret over your finances. Conversations tend to be practical rather than frivolous now. Financial gain may come through communications.
Mercury goes Retrograde Dec. 26 and returns to Direct Jan. 15
Mercury Stationary Retrograde in 2nd House
The coming three weeks mark a period when not only hedging your bets but replacing your wagers may be just the right thing to do. When resources come up short, don’t hesitate to reallocate them in order to provide yourself a firm foundation and a springboard to the future. Redesign with an eye toward giving yourself some extra padding, rather than relying on last minute income to fill in the gap. Less is more when you streamline your operations, and that may include reshuffling the way you present yourself on a day-to-day basis, in order to become a better part of the flow of life around you.
Mercury Stationary Direct in 2nd House
Kinks, twists, and delays in financial matters are on their way out and a return to smoother sailing is in the works. Although delays may have been annoying, the resolutions they have brought will benefit you immediately and in the long run. Picking up loose ends and tightening your operation has lasting benefits, not only on your resources, but also on your opportunities to disseminate your ideas and expand your contacts and horizons. Any headway you may have lost is momentary and will be made up for by a smoother operation, a steadier course, and fewer distractions over the next several weeks. Tie up loose ends and be ready to move on to expanded horizons and a surer sense of your underpinnings.
Mercury will enter 3rd house Mar. 2
Venus Transits the First House
You could find it hard to deny yourself anything during this cycle! This is a time when you naturally let loose your softer, receptive side. Romantic matters, as well as pleasure-seeking activities, come to the fore now. You are more likely to pay closer attention to your physical appearance and mannerisms, aiming to improve and enhance your attractiveness. Others find you agreeable and cooperative.

Mars Transits the Eighth House
Sexuality and intimacy are stimulated under this transit. Negative expression of this energy is the tendency towards ego conflicts concerning jointly held property or money. Conflicts with partners over values or possessions are possible. Occasionally, this transit could bring a crisis or ending of some kind. Something you hear about now might disturb or touch you deeply. You are likely to be more strategic in your actions during this period, as you become aware of the subtleties of human interaction. This is a time when your best course of action is to recognize that you need, or rely on, others for support.
Mars goes retrograde Dec. 20 and returns Mar. 10
Mars Stationary Retrograde in 8th House
This is not the most ideal period to try for a loan or lean on other people’s resources to get you through — you may find that slow going and not terribly rewarding. If you can see it through on your own, do so, if only by recycling what you’ve got and waiting for a clearer picture of where things are going. Inner reconstruction beats buying on the open market — when you bank with yourself, the interest rate can never be too high. Rekindling a relationship may be part of what sustains you — look for the wind under your wings and you won’t have to flap them so hard.
Mars Stationary Direct in 8th House
Finding headway where needed credit and outside support are concerned may lately have turned into a comedy of errors — not so amusing, but times are changing and the last laugh is still ahead. Where you have met with diminishing returns, back off and run with a single new plan that will be more worth the extra effort. Where you put the extra is everything — don’t spread it around, focus it. You’re more likely to get what you really push for than what you simply toy with. Point the backing you seek toward new directions you’d like to power and others will more easily sign on for the ride.
Mars will go to 9th house June 7
Jupiter Transits the Second House
The second house rules your value system, personal finances, and possessions. On another level, it rules your comfort levels. During this Jupiter transit, you are likely to see benefits to your earning power and value system. Jupiter in this part of your chart should bring a profitable and productive year. You are likely to feel more confident and enthusiastic about your ability to earn a living, and you may choose to develop your talents in order to boost your earning power. Your income is likely to increase, and there may be an opportunity to improve your future financial situation. However, you may also be just as inclined to splurge on yourself, plumping up your nest or your store of personal possessions. Monetary problems from the past may clear up during this period. You can add to your possessions, and a major purchase or sale is very possible. A significant gift or bonus may come your way. Benefits now are tangible, physical ones. There is a sense of abundance, and feeling worthy is integral in attracting good fortune. In fact, self-worth is really what the second house is about. Expectations of receiving one’s fair share come now, and this tends to attract abundance and favors. This is a good time to go for a raise, apply for a loan, or take part in various dealings with financial institutions. You may need to curb an inclination to overspend–feeling good could bring you to the stores as you temporarily forget about the future! Particularly if Jupiter trines planets in the sixth and/or tenth houses, this is also a very favorable period for success in the work you do.

Neptune Transits the Second House
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.

Saturn in the Ninth
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.
Saturn goes retrograde Jan. 13-May 30
Saturn enters 10th house Sept 8
Uranus Transits the Third House
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.
Uranus doesn’t go into the 4th until April 2012
Pluto transits the 1st 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.
Pluto Transits Opposition Jupiter
~Your perspective on what you want from life, what you are willing to do to get it and the values that you want to express undergoes a change. If you have been working in a direction that is compatible with your standards and your philosophical or religious views, you are likely to be effective. This thus becomes a time when your past faith and hard work are rewarded, bolstering your confidence and helping you to make even bigger plans for your future – plans that are based on a realistic and solid foundation.
If you have been working along lines that are in conflict with your religious and philosophical views, this could be a time of tension. A change either in the direction of your life or in your values will thus be necessary to deal with your growing sense of frustration. This can lead to a religious rebirth, a time when a particular church or cult seems to express what you feel you really need from life. Whether this religious growth is along institutional or personal lines depends on what you feel is missing from your life. Your main effort now should be in trying to live up to the best in you, rather than lowering your standards to achieve a more transient worldly success.
*You are less cautious, more adventurous and confident, and more willing to spread your wings to explore new possibilities than usual. You are attracted to power and wealth, and may engage in a power struggle or go out on a limb to achieve your goals.
+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.
Pluto doesn’t enter the 2nd house until Mar 2018
