Lunations and Long-term Aspects

This month's New Moon is on the 15th in Virgo, your 8th house of transformations, death and regeneration, debt, shared resources and sex providing favorable energy for transforming some part of your life which requires letting something go, even if it's simply cleaning out the garage or attic and making room for something new and better to come in.  If your birthday is right around February 12th this lunation will form a quincunx with your natal Sun, implying a significant change of direction.  Saturn, your traditional sign ruler, is still in Libra where he's exalted and thus operating effectively for restructuring some element of your 9th house of higher learning, long-distance travel, other cultures, legal matters and relocation. 

Your modern sign ruler, Uranus, is in that long-term square with Pluto which implies breaking free from old thoughts and paradigms which may be holding you back.  Venus in Leo, your polar sign and 7th house of close relationships, business partnerships, and competitors is trining Uranus which could bring someone into your life unexpectedly.  With Jupiter in Gemini, your 5th house of romance, children, creativity and entertainment, there is likely to be some activity in this part of your life as well and could also factor in with the relationship matter. 

Mars is in Scorpio, sign of his ancient rulership, where he's dignified and operates well.  Scorpio is your 10th house of public image, status and reputation and quincunx Jupiter, implying taking action on a change of direction that relates back to Jupiter's influence in your 5th. This is an excellent time for publicity related to a creative endeavor or could also simply be an indicator of a status change, again perhaps related to a relationship.

The Full Moon on September 29 is in Aries, your 3rd house of thoughts, ideas, siblings and neighbors.  As always a Full Moon typically brings an ending, culmination or shift to a new phase.  With your modern sign ruler, Uranus, conjunct the Moon, there is likely to be a significant breakthrough or sudden flash associated with it.  This could also manifest as a surprise or unexpected event related to a neighbor or siblings which are also elements of the 3rd house. The effects should be generally favorable, however, particularly for those of your born right around January 28.  Considering that square from Uranus to Pluto, it could represent the sudden resolution of something from the past. 

The Sun, Mercury and Saturn are all in fellow Air Sign, Libra, your 9th house of higher learning, legal matters, other cultures, long-distance travel and relocation which brings a lot of energy to this part of your life.  Saturn is all about restructuring but is getting ready to leave the sign which implies a "now or never" situation.  New or information in this regard is likely to come with those of you born around February 11 most affected.

Mars and Venus are squared off which could result in some conflict related to love or money.  As noted earlier, Mars is in fellow Fixed Sign, Scorpio, which is your 10th house of status, reputation and public image.  Mars is all about taking action but can also signify aggression so you may want to keep an eye on your back, just in case, especially with Venus in your house of relationships.  Those of you born right around February 16 may find yourself in a dilemma of some sort at this time that could affect your status or reputation. It is thus advisable to consider your actions and make sure you take appropriate precautions with any situations that could turn against you if they were aired on one of the network news channels.  If perchance you do wind up in a new relationship it's likely not to be a secret for long, so consider that accordingly.
