Lunations and Long-term Aspects A long-term aspect to bear in mind is that square between Pluto and Uranus which will be in effect for a long time. Pluto in your 4th house is going to have a transformational effect on your home environment or perhaps simply generate a significant new beginning of some sort. If your birthday is within a day or so of September 30 then Pluto is squaring your natal Sun and you are probably feeling these effects. Uranus is in your polar sign, Aries, which is also your 7th house of close relationships, partnerships, competitors and business professionals. Uranus is quite disruptive by nature as the ruler of rebellion, freedom, innovation, sudden change, surprises and unexpected events. Thus, you may encounter events or situations in both these areas which are inter-related in some way, though not necessarily at this time unless your birthday is at the end of September, in which case you probably will. This month there are two Full Moons, though the effects of the second one will undoubtedly show up in September. The one on August 1st occurs in fellow Air Sign, Aquarius, your 5th house of creativity, ego definition, romance, children, entertainment and speculation, a.k.a. the "Fun House." A Full Moon typically brings an ending, culmination or shift to a new phase which will show up in this part of your life with reverberations hailing from Leo, where the Sun is, in your 11th house of friends, networking, goals and group activities. If your birthday is within a day or so of October 3rd its effects will be stronger. Saturn and Mars are transiting your sign. Saturn is exalted, Mars is debilitated meaning that Saturn will have more favorable effects. Saturn is all about structure and planning and is trining your sign ruler, Venus, in Gemini. If your birthday is right around October 16 this will be more noticeable and could draw you to something in your 9th house which includes higher learning, other cultures, your various belief systems including your expectations, long-distance travel, and legal matters. Mars initiates action but in Libra it is likely to be dependent on the approval of others or perhaps be less decisive. Opportunities abound with this lunation and tie together several areas of your life. This is a time to get out, socialize, enjoy yourself and ponder where you're headed. There is a Yod out there, a.k.a. a "finger of god," which is emphasizing a transformational change which is supported by your goals and core beliefs. If you have been in a job or career which is less than satisfying then this is a favorable time to consider where you really want to be. Trust your intuition and also the Universe that your heart will lead you in the right direction and will thus provide the means to accomplish whatever it is, even though you may not be able to see it at the time. As an Air Sign you are logical by nature but not all things, tangible and otherwise, are logical. Open your mind to what your heart is saying. The New Moon on August 17 is in Leo, your 11th house of groups, organizations, friends, networking and goals. There are numerous opportunities associated with this part of your life which can point you in a new direction. If you've been confused about what you want to do finding the answers are likely to present themselves at this time, provided you are paying attention. Pay attention to new ideas and information coming from others, particularly those that resonate. Relationship issues may take an interesting turn and present a dilemma. If you're getting resistance from someone regarding your goals and ambitions, filter that information through your intuition with regard to what is best for you. Libras tend to be a bit too concerned with what others think or want so don't allow yourself to be swayed from what's right for you simply to keep someone else happy. Your happiness is important, too. The Full Moon on August 31 is in Pisces, your 6th house of work, health, service and pets. The Sun is in Virgo, your 12th house of dreams, inspiration, enlightenment, spirituality, confinement, seclusion, institutions, hidden enemies and self-undoing, bringing attention to this part of your life. This is a time when you can receive insights into your work or health issues. Another Yod occurs in this lunation which suggests taking action on a financial matter or perhaps pursing your own needs, particularly as it involves that other individual, and what is really going on in this situation. If you are looking after yourself for a change and get resistance then it's time to think long and hard about whether this person has your best interests at heart or is simply looking out for him or herself. Transformation change and the beginning of a new cycle can result if you decide to no longer accept a less than pleasing status quo. |
