Lunations and Long-term Aspects

The New Moon this month on October 4 is in your sign, Libra, and parked on your natal Sun if your birthday is right around October 5. If that's you, this lunation will also be a part of your solar return with implications for the coming year as well as this month. If you're curious what might be coming your way, then one of our solar return reports can give you a glimpse of what to expect. This lunation opposes Uranus who's been stirring things up in your 7th house of relationships since June 2010. Uranus is the planet of disruptions, disturbances, surprises, rebellion, freedom, breakthroughs, technology, innovation, explosions and sudden change which implies your relationships are likely to be filled with surprises during this transit which will last until May - November 2018 for a short respite and then finally depart permanently for your 8th house in March 2019. You may find that numerous people in your life come and go through what seems to be a figurative revolving door during that time. The opposition associated with this lunation suggests emphasis on that concept at this time.

Uranus is tied into Pluto with a square aspect which is going to last until 2015 with only a few brief breaks until then. If you're not into astrology other than reading this horos then you may not realize its importance. Suffice it to say that the 1960s were brought to you by this same pair who back then were conjunct. Uranus' influence was described earlier and if you couple that with Pluto's propensity for transformational change, unearthing corruption, revealing secrets, eliminating those things that are no longer needed, power and control you can get some idea of what to expect. Pluto is in your 4th house of home environment, cultural roots, memories, endings and new beginnings which implies he's cleaning house in that part of your life. Pluto in the 4th is also good for more everyday situations like cockroach invasions, electrical, plumbing or foundation problems and so forth with your physical home. When Saturn is likewise involved this is even more likely, which is the case now. Saturn is in your 2nd house of income, possessions, needs, comforts and pleasures which can demand discipline and hard work to keep things operating in this part of your life. His sextile to Pluto suggests an opportunity, perhaps implying that putting your money into fixing things at home is a good idea at this time, even if it requires some effort. Ideas related to income and work are likely to flow but taking any action at this time is ill-advised as you will understand shortly.

The Full Moon on October 18 is also a lunar eclipse, which increases its staying power and influence, sometimes even on the order of years. This occurs in your 7th house, Aries, and suggests an ending, culmination or shift to a new phase for a relationship. Those of you born October 19 will be among those most strongly influenced by this one. This is a time to watch your back for someone trying to undermine you at work. Don't believe everything you see or hear, something that you should bear in mind anyway as Neptune transits your 6th house of work, service, health and pets. Don't ask, he's there for a long time. However, he'll probably be fairly harmless unless he's aspecting one of your natal planets. For this eclipse Mars is opposing him from your 12th house which could bring some issues. Your dreams could be more active and your imagination as well. Taking action on your dreams could be difficult if you're trying to pursue a certain vision due to lack of clarity.

Career matters are in good shape thanks to Jupiter who's trining Mercury in your money house which could bring favorable news in that respect. However, don't spend it just yet because Mercury is in the process of stationing retrograde which could result in reversals. An unexpected change of direction with a relationship could impact your finances or perhaps your comfort zone. Innovative thoughts and ideas are favored as well as pleasant times with siblings or neighbors which may involve some local travel. There may be some impact here to your finances as well. Discipline and planning are called for right now due to the potential for various surprises.

Mercury stations retrograde on October 21 which is a time to rethink, reconsider, review, revise and repair for at least the next three weeks. With this occurring in your 2nd house of income, finances, possessions, needs, comforts, pleasures and what you value, much of this will apply to this part of your life in some way or another. As always this is not the time to make a major purchase. If something breaks down getting it fixed is okay but don't buy a new one until as long after November 9th as you can manage, better yet after November 28, even if you have to rent or do without. I know this can be difficult because I had a fridge go out during Mercury RX and living out of an ice chest for that duration was definitely not fun. A day or two after Mercury went direct I bought a new one and it seems to work okay but the freezer handle tends to fall off and it makes all sorts of weird sounds as if it's haunted. Just saying. Something is going to change direction as a result of what you reconsider during this time so pay close attention to your ponderings. It could be a belief, expectation, attitude or even something deeper, at the subconscious level, which carries a high degree of importance.

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.
