Lunations and Long-term Aspects

This month the New Moon is on October 4 in fellow Air Sign, Libra, your 9th house of beliefs, expectations, legal matters, philosophy of life, higher learning, other cultures, long-distance travel and relocation so watch for something new to come along in that part of your life whether it's a new idea to ponder or a trip abroad.  If your birthday is right around January 31st this lunation trines your natal Sun, making it more influential.  It's always interesting to me how a lunation chart can have some difficult aspects associated with it yet its influence on individuals can be positive, depending on how they interact.  This New Moon is one corner of a T-square with that infamous Uranus-Pluto square.  Of course Uranus is your modern sign ruler and he's sextile your natal Sun if your birthday is right around that same time.  He's in Aries, your 3rd house of thoughts, ideas, siblings, neighbors and local travel, where he's probably stirring up a few surprises.  As the ruler of innovation and breakthroughs his influence in your 3rd house of thoughts and ideas can be powerful.  He also rules rebellions and independence so such thoughts as attaining total freedom are possible as well.

Uranus and your traditional ruler, Saturn, are connected by quincunx, an aspect also known as an inconjunct.  It's a bit of an unstable aspect that can be hard to predict, which combined with Uranus, the planet of surprises, makes it even more difficult.  These two planets are quite antithetical with Saturn all about responsibility, boundaries, authority figures and conventional behavior.  Uranus rules explosions, Saturn rules structure.  Go figure.  Usually a quincunx indicates an adjustment or change of direction or in some cases the need to justify your position.  With Saturn in your 10th house of career, reputation, public image and status it's possible you may need to tone down any unconventional beliefs or risk damaging something in this part of your life. 

Venus is in your 10th house as well, in debility in Scorpio where her passion can turn obsessive.  She's squaring your natal Sun is your birthday is right around February 15.  She's also separating from a square with Mars who is opposing you natal Sun if your birthday is right around February 12.  Speaking of T-squares, this would form one for you folks and could bring some relationship issues your way considering that Mars is in your 7th house of close relationships including your significant other, business partners, close friends and relatives, business professionals, cliental and competitors.  This could bring some arguments you way that could also tie in with that potential need to tone things down a bit.  News related to your career or status is likely to set this off, but it's possible it may be a little unclear as far as details are concerned.  Make sure you have all the facts, get it in writing and don't let your imagination get carried away.  This news or information could be favorable and trigger some dreams and inspiration relative to your needs and wants, but don't get carried away.  Keep a firm base in reality.  It's possible that there is something lurking in your subconscious that has been buried and forgotten that has a bearing on whatever situation arises.  This could be what needs to be confronted and changed in some way if not eliminated.  You should take advantage of this opportunity to resolve any old issues which will benefit you now and in the future.

The Full Moon on October 18 is also a lunar eclipse, adding to its influence.  The effects can last much longer than the usual lunation, perhaps until the next eclipse.  It occurs in Aries, your 3rd house of thoughts and so forth as defined earlier, suggesting an ending or culmination of something in this part of your life.  At this point some favorable intervention could come from a friend who brings some new considerations your way.  If there has been an issues related to your career or status, an opportunity to rectify it is possible through this channel but it will take some effort and push to bring it about.  If you've been having any difficulties achieving your goals this could bring a needed breakthrough.  Improving your situation at work is favored, perhaps through your creativity or simply being your authentic self.  There are some cautions out there this month as Mars enters your 8th house of transformations, sex, death and rebirth, things you suppress, shared resources, debt and intense experiences.  This placement can predispose you to accidents so don't take any unnecessarily chances at this time, particularly those of you with birthdays around January 23.  If you're being unrealistic about what you want or need and go chasing rainbows you're likely to be disappointed so do so with caution.

Mercury stations retrograde on October 21 in your 10th house of status and career which implies the need to rethink or redo something related to that part of your life, perhaps any recent changes that have occurred in that part of your life.  Mercury retrograde is infamous in modern times for messing up anything electronic or mechanical, which causes numerous inconveniences due to our dependence on those devices.  However, these retrograde periods which occur about three times a year serve a useful purpose if the energy is used appropriately.  Activities such as rethinking, revising, editing, reconsidering, replanning and such are assisted by this energy.  The implications are that any recent decisions may have additional information coming forth that could impact your original plans.  Forewarned is forearmed, so as this month progresses bear in mind that whatever you decide may be subject to review later.  You may thus want to avoid any irreversible decisions and proceed in a careful manner to avoid painting yourself in a corner.

Does Astrology Work?

Will your career take off next year?  Will your love life improve if you move to Denver?  Are you and your latest flame a good match?  When will you finally sell your house?

Right, wrong or indifferent, millions seek answers through astrology.  The advent of computers and the Internet has made astrological interpretations and predictions not only available but comfortably private for a reasonable price.  While a personalized natal reading from a professional astrologer may cost between $150 - $300 USD, computerized reports are often available for free or as little as $10. 

Are they as good as a personalized reading?  No, but certainly better than nothing if it’s all you can afford.  However, it’s important to recognize their limitations as well as be aware of other astrological techniques available through a professional astrologer. 

Anyone hooked on computerized reports has probably not found what they were looking for in a certain report at least once.  This brief yet comprehensive guide describes several types of computerized reports typically available online, what information each will usually provide as well as its inherent limitations.  It also includes descriptions of some unique astrological readings for which computerized versions may not be available but can be provided through a trained professional.  Also included is a handy table that directs you to which report you need for what.
