MONDAY NOVEMBER 23, 2009
MOON/15º Aquarius opposite MARS/15º Leo 2:39 am, 5:39 am
Leo draws people to himself behind the power of his personality and is a leader or else just the center of attention. Aquarius distributes, delegates power to others, is a rebel, not a joiner, but still sees community as important. If Leo is arrogant or fanatical about being right at this hour, for whatever reason, Aquarius will say goodbye.
MOON/19º Aquarius square VENUS/19º Scorpio 11:31 am, 2:31 pm
While Aquarius and Scorpio don’t get along too well, as Scorpio represents taxes and paying them, while Aquarius has a much broader humanitarian vision and sees the need to fund science and research and to give to worthy causes. Moon, Venus and Jupiter are the money planets. Venus/Scorpio can be stubbornly tight with a dime.
MOON/19º Aquarius conjunct JUPITER/19º Aquarius 11:45 am, 2:45 pm
People might be inclined to spend money on fads or to give generously to causes or on gifts. People could be out shopping today, looking for bargains. Though Aquarius is far more content to enjoy beautiful things rather than own them. Money might suddenly come in, but will go out just as quickly!
VENUS/19º Scorpio square JUPITER/19º Aquarius 2:02 pm, 5:02 pm
All Day Dieter’s Advisory. Shopping Splurge Advisory! Look at the ways you indulge yourself. It could be time to Balance Your Checkbook and step on the scale!
MOON/22º Aquarius conjunct NEPTUNE/22º Aquarius 7:36 pm, 10:36 pm
MOON/22º Aquarius Void-of-Course 7:36 pm, 10:36 pm
Celebrity sightings? Early on, people might want to be part of the crowd. With the Moon Void-of-Course, could be someone falls asleep in front of the TV!

TUESDAY NOV 24
SUN/2º Sagittarius sextile SATURN/2º Libra 7:35 am, 10:35 am
Just note that the Aquarius Moon is still Void-of-Course early this morning. Sun/Saturn will make us cautious and aware of the problems people have with their partners and in their relationships.
MOON ENTERS PISCES 8:07 am PST, 11:07 am EST
Neptune/Jupiter Rule. We’ll all feel a little burst of fresh energy around this hour, but everyone feels laid back and attuned to their intuition. Or do our daydreams have override capacity on their attention to the here and now? Neptune Rules. People can follow the path of least resistance and over-indulge themselves with drink or drugs with unexpected consequences, as both tend to have more potent effects during Pisces Moons. Then again, people can have a more spiritual outlook, understanding that life on earth is an ephemeral experience. It is a good time to look back on your life or the recent past and reflect on what you’ve said and done.
MOON/1º 59´ Pisces sextile PLUTO/1º 59´ Capricorn 12:08 pm, 3:08 pm
It’s likely that Pluto has already moved to the 2nd degree by this hour, but I just threw that 1º 59´in to underscore how slowly Pluto moves. Degrees: º , minutes: ´ and seconds: ´´. Changes we consider now might be easier to make. Look to what you can eliminate, and determine what’s outlived its usefulness or is taking up space.
FIRST QUARTER
MOON/2º 45´ Pisces square SUN/2º 45´ Sagittarius 1:39 pm, 4:39 pm
Beliefs. People really can get into heated discussions over traditional beliefs versus individualistic ones, especially as it relates to Thanksgiving and the Christmas Season ahead. Consider your audience, and determine whether what you say will be received well or not.
Tuesday night is a good night to schedule some quiet time. Or to put on some good music and cook. Or dance as Pisces rules the feet. People feel easygoing.

WEDNESDAY NOV 25
MOON/14º Pisces square MERCURY/14º Sagittarius 2:38 pm, 5:38 pm
This afternoon, Pay Attention to The Road! No arguing in the car. No more arguments over politics or religion or anything else. A lot of people are heading out early today for the big weekend and some of them will be in a Big Hurry!
VENUS/22º Scorpio trine SR URANUS/22º Pisces 7:01 pm, 10:01 pm
People we meet tonight under Venus/Uranus, may suddenly attract us, but the attraction doesn’t last long, even if the flirtation might turn into a brief affair. Just one of those things?

THURSDAY NOV 26
THANKSGIVING DAY
MOON/22º Pisces conjunct SR URANUS/22º Pisces 5:08 am, 8:08 am
MOON/23º Pisces trine VENUS/23º Scorpio 6:17 am, 9:17 am
MOON/23º Pisces Void-of-Course (V/C) 6:17 am, 9:17 am
Be ready for someone making a quick getaway this morning! Or to say unexpected and unconscious things. Sudden change of plans? Venus is pretty powerful.
This Thanksgiving is not going to be an easy one with the Moon Void-of-Course all day till evening. Have NO Expectations. There will be things we forgot to buy. Things we didn’t have time to do. Be extra careful about watching the cooking time of things on the stove. Don’t space out!
MERCURY/16º Sagittarius trine MARS/16º Leo 6:54 am, 9:54 am
BE CAREFUL DRIVING. People in a hurry will take more risks! With the Pisces Moon V/C, also be careful what you say. What people say to inspire others may go far and wide.
VENUS/23º Scorpio square NEPTUNE/23º Aquarius 4:16 pm, 7:16 pm
People can be critical of others having too much fun or too much to drink or being too sexy or too magnetic. Sudden nap time?
MOON ENTERS ARIES 7:11 pm PST, 10:11 pm EST
Mars/Pluto Rule. Fresh Energy? After all that turkey?!? It used to be that my Chicago cousins and I were packed up in the car and we’d go into the Loop and look at the Christmas windows finally unveiled at Marshall Fields, which were done up in a story form, and we’d go from window to window following the story. These days, kids might want to go to the movies or go out to be with their friends.
MOON/2º Aries square PLUTO/2º Capricorn 11:08 pm, 2:08 am
Ok, Listen up, People! Saturn and Pluto are still only half a degree apart. Call Home, E.T. if you are going to be late or are in an accident. Don’t let Anyone worry themselves sick fearing you are dead or injured somewhere! Don’t put anyone who Really Cares about you through that! It is possible that we will hear of disasters impacting many people, as Pluto indicates actions or events beyond the control of individuals. Be extra careful of fires.
Do NOT get into any kind of a Fight tonight! People might try and provoke you or you might provoke others who can have a Violent Reaction to what you say!
Do not Question Authority, either law enforcement or parental authority, no matter how harsh they may seem to you. Listening with complete attention can be disarming.

FRIDAY NOV 27
MOON/2º Aries opposite SATURN/2º Libra 12:20 am, 3:20 am
Hopefully the turkey has worked its effects on you and you are fast asleep. Friends and partners might be very critical of you. Where is that coming from? What’s underneath that? Consider the unseen burdens or unspoken anxiety or stress people carry. Let’s not forget that under Saturn’s influence, the faults we see in others are Exactly the ones we don’t wish to acknowledge in ourselves!
MOON/5º Aries trine SUN/5º Sagittarius 5:31 am, 8:31 am
Friday Morning is Black Friday, when a lot of business hope to go “out of the red” and “into the black.” Young people are likely to hit the malls and join the crowds in great numbers to get the electronic toys they want. Some will camp out early before the stores open to grab the things they want the most. At least they will here! WHO Can Staaaaand It?
I imagine that many will want to enjoy the very last of the warm weather and get out into nature, or get down with some Sports Action. People will want to work out and get physical. Move it around. Many will be putting up those outdoor Christmas decorations here in Chicago, if the weather is good. Aries Moons are a great time for games indoors or out, people are up for a little friendly competition. Terrific Night for a party!

SATURDAY NOV 28
MOON/16º Aries trine MARS/16º Leo 2:40 am, 5:40 am
Late Night or Early Morning physical intimacy? I can hear Bill Cosby’s deep growl now: “Are your children at home... in bed... ALONE?”
MOON/19º Aries trine MERCURY/19º Sagittarius 7:27 am, 10:27 am
Saturday morning you can expect the kids to be up early. Chances are--people are going places! Possibly to sports arenas or to museums.
MOON/20º Aries sextile JUPITER/20º Aquarius 9:37 am, 12:37 pm
The kids are excited by their latest discoveries! So are we all! Notice that Jupiter/Neptune are moving closer together. I’d consider them conjunct, but they will be exactly conjunct on the morning of the Winter Solstice.
MOON/23º Aries sextile NEPTUNE/23º Aquarius 3:33 pm, 6:33 pm
MOON/23º Aries Void-of-Course 3:33 pm, 6:33 pm
Tonight, people can feel like couch potatoes. Ready to kick back with a good movie. When the Aries Moon is Void-of-Course, you usually can expect a Whining Advisory. You might hear: “Do I hafta? I don’t wanna.” Or a chorus of “But I want, I want, I want.” There might be some sore losers with those playing board games. And, some major frustration with things we start after this hour like projects. Total Time Out on shopping, except for routine essentials. Have NO expectations for Saturday Night, especially if you have activities or events scheduled. Go with the flow and enjoy whatever it is with detached amusement. You just might be surprised. We feel the energy changing from Mighty Yang to Mighty Yin. From what we want to appreciating what we already have, especially valuing what we have inside of ourselves.

SUNDAY NOV 29
Advent begins
MOON ENTERS TAURUS 2:34 am PST, 5:34 am EST
Venus Rules. There’s fresh energy this morning for looking good. The Taurus-in-Everyone prizes their body and their feelings. They value what they have been given from their parentage, their educational and financial opportunities and they make the most of them! The Taurus who uses what he’s been given, feels worth it, he’s worked hard, studied hard and has made something of himself and has earned it. While we might tend to measure others with a economic yardstick, determining who’s better or worse off than we are, we recognize that there are those intangibles that always indicate inner worth of all human beings.
MERCURY/20º Sagittarius sextile JUPITER/20º Aquarius 3:54 am, 6:54 am
People have a lot to say in the early morning hours! Our minds might just be crowded with new ideas and inspirations. Get a pencil and write them down ASAP!
MOON/2º Taurus trine PLUTO/2º Capricorn 6:23 am, 9:23 am
We could look to balancing our checkbooks and finding out where we stand financially. It is a good morning to cull through the clutter. If we’ve been buying new things, we need to get rid of the old things. Some may decide to clean house but also have fun making things look fresh and beautiful. The Taurus-in-us loves comfort and little luxuries and resonates to colorful and beautiful objects. I’m sure people will shop today as Taurus Moons promote it.

MONDAY NOV 30
MOON/17º Taurus square MARS/17º Leo 8:52 am, 11:52 am
Another Who’s The Boss Fight? Hope NOT! Decide for yourself whether any fight is worth winning.
MERCURY/22º Sagittarius square SR URANUS/22º Pisces 11:52 am, 2:52 pm
Fender-Bender Advisory especially in crowded parking lots. Don’t let yourself be distracted on the road even for a minute! Be extra careful about mailing out bills! Make sure you have the right check in the right envelope. Be extra careful about all correspondence, including emails and tweets! Even Christmas cards! Definitely a Foot-in-Mouth Advisory! People are apt to say unconscious things, even thoughtless things! Be quick to apologize sincerely and profusely. Remember Coyote who wouldn’t be welcomed back to the tribe until he cried, “Oh God, WHAT a Stupid Fool I’ve been!”
MOON/20º Taurus square JUPITER/20º Aquarius 2:59 pm, 5:59 pm
What are we overdoing? Impulse Buying? Running up the Visa Card? Indulging in those tasty morsels and leftovers? Salespeople might overdo the flattery just to make a sale.
MOON/22º Taurus sextile SR URANUS/22º Pisces 6:03 pm, 9:03 pm
Even in good aspect, SR Uranus is powerful! Still be extra careful driving tonight. People could have some mighty close calls.
MOON/23º Taurus square NEPTUNE/23º Aquarius 8:04 pm, 11:04 pm
While the Moon is not Void-of-Course quite yet, expect some confusion behind this square to Neptune. Taurus is not attracted to the music, fads or the “social epidemics” that move the group. Tomorrow’s the Full Moon in Gemini and Uranus turns Direct, leaving NO planets retrograde and Venus leaves Scorpio and enters Sagittarius!

MONDAY NOVEMBER 16, 2009
Leonids Meteor Showers
MOON/19º Scorpio square JUPITER/19º Aquarius 1:02 am, 4:02 am
What are we overdoing? Spending money impulsively on those late night popular self-indulgences our bodies really don’t need? Fergetaboutit!
MOON/22º Scorpio trine R URANUS/22º Pisces 7:57 am, 10:57 am
Don’t be surprised if you meet someone really nice this morning.
MOON/23º Scorpio square NEPTUNE/23º Aquarius 9:41 am, 12:41 pm
Fads never move Scorpios. Here today and definitely gone tomorrow. Don’t be a sourpuss. Different strokes for different folks.
NEW MOON
MOON/24º 34´ Scorpio conjunct SUN/24º 34´ Scorpio 11:14 am, 2:14 pm
MOON/24º 34´ Scorpio Void-of-Course 11:14 am, 2:14 pm
Our energy could bottom out this hour. Make sure you have a good healthy lunch. New Moons hip us to endings and new beginnings and we might be focused on what the economy is doing. People might think about starting to work on their taxes, rearranging their stock portfolio, but wait on that for awhile. Have No Expectations with the Moon Void-of-Course, just don’t fall asleep at your desk! It might be a good thing to get in a power nap after work when you can.
MERCURY/1º Sagittarius sextile SATURN/1º Libra 8:59 pm, 11:59 pm
Those Big Ideas best have some practical applications. People might complain that the Saj enthusiasm doesn’t allow others to get a word in edgewise.
MOON ENTERS SAGITTARIUS 9:22 pm PST, 12:22 am EST
Jupiter Rules! Big Time Change of energy! We’re outgoing, social and confident. I would not be surprised if our friends on the West Coast got a second wind and decided to go out for some socializing or even to scope out the Leonids light show. One year, I was amazed to see lots of people parked on Highway One up above Stinson Beach enjoying the show from the hoods of their cars! Wikipedia says to expect 500 per hour.

TUESDAY NOV 17
MOON/1º Sagittarius sextile SATURN/1º Libra 12:52 am, 3:52 am
We’re ready to sleep now. Or are we? Some will squeeze in doing one or two practical things before they start getting in their Zzz’s.
MOON/2º Sagittarius conjunct MERCURY/2º Sagittarius 1:22 am, 4:22 am
Some of our Saj friends may be twittering, emailing or engrossed by whatever captivates them. I once had a boyfriend with Mercury/Sagittarius, who was obsessed by hot air ballooning for 6 weeks, then for 6 weeks it was getting a chimp and raising him, then for 6 weeks it was going to Mexico. He couldn’t talk or think about anything else, than his current obsession, reading everything he could. Just saying.
The Moon’s in Sagittarius all day, just not making any aspects. People will be upbeat and into finding some sports action or some travel bargains. This is a great day for Teachers, who are on top of their game. They convey their enthusiasm for their subject and the excitement of learning. They own their information and they wow their students! We might also hear exciting news from publishers.
MOON/13º Sagittarius trine MARS/13º Leo 11:40 pm, 2:40 am
Late night, people could definitely get physical! Fire signs could get really HOT!

WEDNESDAY NOV 18
MOON/19º Sagittarius sextile JUPITER/19º Aquarius 10:10 am, 1:10 pm
WHO feels Lucky? Jupiter Rules after all, people feel really up and outgoing. New discoveries in space, science, medicine, even in archaeology gets everyone excited.
MOON/22º Sagittarius square R URANUS/22º Pisces 4:52 pm, 7:52 pm
Watch your step, especially when you are carried away with excitement or enthusiasm! No foot injuries or twisted ankles! And NO Vehicular Accidents! People tend to take far more risks under Jupiter than under Saturn when we feel more cautious.
MOON/23º Sagittarius sextile NEPTUNE/23º Aquarius 6:46 pm, 9:46 pm
MOON/23º Sagittarius Void-of-Course 6:46 pm, 9:46 pm
Music MOVES us. So do Movies and Anything those Cultural Mavens are talking up!
But--we might start to feel the outgoing Sagittarius energy changing this evening and want to get onto our own business.

THURSDAY NOV 19
VENUS/13º Scorpio square MARS/13º Leo 12:23 am, 3:23 am
Make Love, Not War? In the background of this Void-of-Course Saj Moon, Mars/Venus square-off. Probably some ardent Leo receives the brush off from Scorpio, but you never know. While Leo speaks from the heart with a lot of courage and while Venus is immune to flattery-- Have no expectations. Make No comparisons or contrasts to others, put your center back on yourself!
MOON ENTERS CAPRICORN 7:01 am PST, 10:01 am EST
Saturn Rules. People are seriously all business this morning. We have excellent concentration and our focus narrows to what’s in front of us. We’re detail-oriented and into doing our best work. Be watchful for anything out of the ordinary: like disgruntled workers, depressed friends, people who have lost their jobs, their homes, their lifestyle and even their marriages and friends.
MOON/1º Capricorn conjunct PLUTO/1º Capricorn 10:37 am, 1:37 pm
Here we go again--that Saturn/Pluto square, though they are separating, they’re close enough! Look out for people going off on each other! People could be shocked by even more lay-offs or forced retirements or losses on Wall Street. Be prepared for some kind of crisis this morning. We may hear of violence, arrests--as Pluto seems to have a lot to do with The Law-- and weather events on a disaster scale that impact many people.
MOON/2º Capricorn square SATURN/2º Libra 11:07 am, 2:07 pm
Saturn Rules--the structures in our lives. Guys especially, who are recently divorced, losing the structure of marriage, the security of their home life and children, feel like the rug is pulled out from under them-- and they could go off on their spouses, their children and families. There are way too many stories of that happening! So be careful, my women friends, about who you hook up with! And yes, it always take two to tango or tangle. Stop yourself from provoking your partner or saying those mean and hurtful things that might be on the tip of your tongue. Once they are out of your mouth, it’s impossible to take them back. Vicious hurtful things people say are not forgotten, sometimes for years. Don’t get into it. Avoid those blame games, name calling or insults.
Make a point of staying busy, get your concentration back to tackle doing what you must. If you have avoided a crisis this morning, be glad. Empathize with those who are struggling, help them if you can and return to focusing on your own ambitions.
When the Moon’s in Capricorn, we tend to judge people rather materialistically. Who’s successful and who’s not. Subconsciously we might want to impress people with our own importance and demonstrate that we are a Big Somebody and influential individuals. We also tend to purchase status items and want to be a part of prestigious events.

FRIDAY NOV 20
This is another serious day, but we accomplish things, when we make a point of enjoying our work. Capricorn succeeds because he takes the time to practice, practice, practice and thus make it look effortless.
MOON/15º Capricorn sextile VENUS/15º Scorpio 3:21 pm, 6:21 pm
Here, there’s a lot more simpatico between Capricorn and Scorpio. Both focus on The Work, rather than on themselves.

SATURDAY NOV 21
MOON/22º Capricorn sextile R URANUS/22º Pisces 4:28 am, 7:28 am
Early morning surprises? Invitations? People could go out for breakfast or head to the beach if the waves are breaking right. (Think Safety First if you’re out on the water today especially you crab fishermen. Uranus/Pisces is the only planet retrograde, be ready to respond quickly in an emergency.) Most people still have that Capricorn mindset and want to accomplish a few things on Saturday or have some money-making ideas that they want to set in motion. Garage Sales?
MOON/29º Capricorn sextile SUN/29º Scorpio 7:04 pm, 10:04 pm
MOON/29º Capricorn Void-of-Course 7:04 pm, 10:04 pm
Even before this hour, I bet people are ready to put away whatever they’ve been working on. Pretty nice evening. People let go--
MOON ENTERS AQUARIUS 7:11 pm PST, 10:11 pm EST
Uranus/Saturn Rule. Everybody feels loose tonight. We have fresh energy for Too Much FUN! Everybody lets it all hang out! People for sure are talking about What’s Popular, What’s a Happening thing. The Cultural Mavens are raving about the latest band like “Company of Thieves” or movie like 2011. Science Guys have a lot to say about What’s Exciting.
SUN ENTERS SAGITTARIUS 8:23 pm PST, 11:23 pm EST
Happy Birthday to all our Happy-Go-Lucky Sagittarius friends and neighbors! Their confidence in themselves inspires confidence in others. What they believe in is important to them, so are their theories and opinions. This whole month as we head for the holidays will be about What We Believe. Our philosophical Saj friends are optimists who are definitely future-oriented. Sports action will keep a lot of them young and many take risks. Some will travel, especially to foreign countries and some travel through books. Their true vocation is teaching though they have a multitude of interests and are probably eternal students who are never bored with life.
MOON/2º Aquarius trine SATURN/2º Libra 11:51 pm, 2:51 am
A Great Night of Fun could come to an end with a lot of people feeling tired from dancing and partying.

SUNDAY NOV 22
Aquarius Moon keeps us feeling loose on Sunday, looking to make the most out of Sunday and that means having the most fun possible. Go for it.
MOON/10º Aquarius sextile MERCURY/10º Sagittarius 5:20 pm, 8:20 pm
Aquarius is always interested in new ideas and concepts. People have fun sharing their discoveries!

MONDAY NOV 23
MOON/15º Aquarius opposite MARS/15º Leo 2:39 am, 5:39 am
Leo draws people to himself behind the power of his personality and is a leader or else just the center of attention. Aquarius distributes, delegates power to others, is a rebel, not a joiner, but still sees community as important. If Leo is arrogant or fanatical about being right at this hour, for whatever reason, Aquarius will say goodbye.
MOON/19º Aquarius square VENUS/19º Scorpio 11:31 am, 2:31 pm
While Aquarius and Scorpio don’t get along too well, as Scorpio represents taxes and paying them, while Aquarius has a much broader humanitarian vision and sees the need to fund science and research and to give to worthy causes. Moon, Venus and Jupiter are the money planets. Venus/Scorpio can be stubbornly tight with a dime.
MOON/19º Aquarius conjunct JUPITER/19º Aquarius 11:45 am, 2:45 pm
People might be inclined to spend money on fads or to give generously to causes or on gifts. People could be out shopping today, looking for bargains. Though Aquarius is far more content to enjoy beautiful things rather than own them. Money might suddenly come in, but will go out just as quickly!
VENUS/19º Scorpio square JUPITER/19º Aquarius 2:02 pm, 5:02 pm
All Day Dieter’s Advisory. Shopping Splurge Advisory! Look at the ways you indulge yourself. It could be time to Balance Your Checkbook!
MOON/22º Aquarius conjunct NEPTUNE/22º Aquarius 7:36 pm, 10:36 pm
MOON/22º Aquarius Void-of-Course 7:36 pm, 10:36 pm
Might be a nice night for a spontaneous potluck, but with the Moon Void-of-Course, could be someone falls asleep in front of the TV! Have a great week.

MONDAY NOVEMBER 9, 2009
LAST QUARTER
MOON/17º 23´ Leo square SUN/17º 23´ Scorpio 7:56 am, 10:56 am
Who’s PUSHING for something? Who Resists Being Pushed? Are we having a Who’s The Boss argument? What matters Most to you? Winning at all costs?
MOON/18º Leo opposite JUPITER/18º Aquarius 9:41 am, 12:41 pm
Applause. People find it easy to be generous. I don’t mind.
MOON/20º Leo square MERCURY/20º Scorpio 12:57 pm, 3:57 pm
More Bickering? Somebody might let off some zingers.
MOON/23º Leo opposite SD NEPTUNE/23º Aquarius 6:43 pm, 9:43 pm
MOON/23º Leo Void-of-Course 6:43 pm, 9:43 pm
Performances are over. We know instinctively that it’s time to leave the stage and head for the Green Room to go over and critique our performances, stow away the costumes, props and make-up and to get ready for the rest of the week.

TUESDAY NOV 10
MOON ENTERS VIRGO 5:30 am PST, 8:30 am EST
Mercury Rules. This morning getting organized is on our agenda. We make our lists and set our priorities. We’re heading for the New Moon in Scorpio and on the whole, we will be conserving our energy this week. Sometimes I think we Virgos are reincarnated Mayans who believed once order in your immediate environment is achieved then the whole world is in order. We enjoy feeling together and capable. Working our skills, practicing our practice makes us not only efficient, but we make it look easy. We know how to get those everyday chores done quickly, so they are off the back burner of our minds allowing us more time for doing what we love.
MOON/1º Virgo trine PLUTO/1º Capricorn 8:11 am, 11:11 am
We look at what we don’t need. And people can be ruthless and unsentimental in getting rid of clutter.
SUN/18º Scorpio square JUPITER/18º Aquarius 10:41 am, 1:41 pm
People can hit the ceiling when it comes to spending on extravagant fads! How many apps did you say you bought for your I-phone? 100,000? Now that we’ve all switched to DTV’s, it seems they use far more current than the old TV’s. Surprise. Surprise. So our electric bills will go up. Be sure and switch it off at the surge protector. Look around to see what else you can unplug.
MOON/2º Virgo sextile VENUS/2º Scorpio 11:31 am, 2:31 am
Are we culling through the closets? Virgo is no threat to Scorpio, there on the same page when it comes to what to eliminate to get down to the essence of any problem.
Might be a good night to deal with paperwork or correspondence.

WEDNESDAY NOV 11
VETERAN’S DAY (also Kurt Vonnegut’s Birthday)
MERCURY/22º Scorpio trine R URANUS/22º Pisces 3:39 am, 6:39 am
Are people up early to get the latest news? Or do they open up to their intuition. People could get a blast from the past in emails or letters.
MOON/19º Virgo sextile SUN/19º Scorpio 3:29 pm, 6:29 pm
We feel good about what we’ve accomplished today and look to finishing what we started by tonight.
MERCURY/23º Scorpio square NEPTUNE/23º Aquarius 4:12 pm, 7:12 pm
People will be talking about What’s Popular, but not What’s Hip. People might be inspired to make Music and to use their creativity.
MOON/22º Virgo opposite R URANUS/22º Pisces 8:57 pm, 11:57 pm
No Accidents. No foot injuries or twisted ankles. Does everything fall apart? Does the order we’ve created turn into chaos again? Maybe. The Aquarian Planet is the only one still in apparent Retrograde motion. Uranus will turn Direct on December 1st.
MOON/23º Virgo sextile MERCURY/23º Scorpio 11:13 pm, 2:13 am
MOON/23º Virgo Void-of-Course 11:13 pm, 2:13 am
People might feel the need to communicate or write in their journals before retiring. Pat yourself on the back for all you’ve accomplished.

THURSDAY NOV 12
MOON ENTERS LIBRA 9:22 am PST, 12:22 pm EST
Venus Rules. Make a point of looking good today, because when we look good and feel good about ourselves, what we do, we do better. Many of us will be thinking of finding companionship for the weekend. What we’ve made of ourselves, we present to the world. However, with Saturn in the picture, some of us will feel insecure and apprehensive.
MOON/1º Libra conjunct SATURN/1º Libra 11:53 am, 2:53 pm
MOON/1º Libra square PLUTO/1º Capricorn 12:12 pm, 3:12 pm
Saturn/Pluto will be exactly square on Sunday, but the waning Moon sets them off now, which is far better than if it were exactly the New or Full Moon. Nonetheless, the Scorpio Sun is at the Midheaven at Noon, and Moon just before, which makes Pluto Rising, say around 11 am. (This happens every day this week, of course, as the Saturn/Pluto square goes around on The Big Spin.) Before sunset, Pluto is close to the Midheaven and Saturn is setting. So please be extra careful on the road this week and stay in awareness of your surroundings.
Listen to any warnings your intuition sends you that something is wrong. I appreciated reading Gavin De Becker’s “The Gift of Fear” which tells story after story of people who didn’t pay attention to their intuition, but some found that in a crisis, they have inner guidance system, a “guardian angel,” a voice that told them move and react, which saved their lives. Don’t laugh! Take a moment and thank your built-in inner guidance system for getting you this far.
Listen closely to anyone who voices hopelessness or suicidal thoughts and urge them to get help immediately. One of the qualities of this Saturn/Pluto square is obsessiveness. People who obsess about a person or their situation, can get possessed by their desires, thoughts or emotions, which can lead to insanity.
Recognize that the stress on people who have lost their jobs is enormous. People trying to hang onto their homes, their jobs and their marriages. There will be some who will go off on others out of a sense of impotence and frustration.
There’s a long period following this in which the Libra Moon makes NO aspects to the other planets but is NOT Void-of-Course. Last week, the Cancer Moon set Saturn/Pluto off and there was a long period like this one. Check in with your partners and friends, see how they are feeling and if they are okay. The Libra Moon will make us all good listeners.

FRIDAY NOV 13
MOON/12º Libra sextile MARS/12º Leo 6:51 am, 9:51 am
Friday the 13th. Don’t be superstitious. Each one of us decides if we buy into it. Mars will make people who have the courage of their convictions applauded and attractive.
MOON/18º Libra trine JUPITER/18º Aquarius 6:28 pm, 9:28 pm
People feel great this evening, thanks to Jupiter! People feel loose, even goofy, letting it all hang out.

SATURDAY NOV 14
MOON/23º Libra trine NEPTUNE/23º Aquarius 3:10 am, 6:10 am
MOON/23º Libra Void-of-Course 3:10 am, 6:10 am
Our dreams may speak to us this morning. With the Moon Void-of-Course in the morning hours, Have No Expectations. Wait till the afternoon to be sure that what you buy is really what you want and need. Wait till the Moon goes into Scorpio, to start New Projects and avoid frustration and hassles. Stick with doing those routine things.
MOON ENTERS SCORPIO 2:24 pm PST, 5:24 pm EST
Mars/PLUTO Rule. Think of Scorpio as a psychologist, who can really see into people, ascertaining the strength and endurance of their Personal Intent, determining whether the desire and will power of others is strong enough to achieve the goals they voice. Scorpio likes to keep what’s private-- in the bedroom and bathroom-- private. There’s a lot of emotion in Scorpio but generally it’s hidden. They can be suspicious of others thinking that there’s more than meets the eye, even when there isn’t. What lies beyond death has a fascination for Scorpio and he is intrigued by the supernatural.
MOON/1º Scorpio sextile PLUTO/1º Capricorn 5:26 pm, 8:26 pm
Well, Pluto does Rule. And Pluto does bring people on both sides of The Law together usually in a courtroom. Think Twice. We’ll be intrigued by Mysteries and Crime Novels and suspenseful thrillers.
SUN/23º Scorpio trine R URANUS/23º Pisces 5:41 pm, 8:41 pm
Be ready for Intuitive Brainstorms. Or for great ideas to come from unusual places or people all day today. But beware in these desperate times of being fooled by anything or anyone too good to be true. When we let go and open ourselves to The Universe, or simply say, I don’t know, that’s when the answers pop into our heads. People could call it an early night tonight, at least the oldest and youngest among us will, as this weekend is the Dark of The Moon.

SUNDAY NOV 15
SATURN/1º Libra squares PLUTO/1º Capricorn 6:42 am, 9:42 am
Hang in there, Kids. No Matter What, Whatever It Takes, we WILL get through this crisis period. This Saturn/Pluto square will be hanging in the background for another couple of weeks. But this-- is the exact peak of their 90º interaction. We also may see weather events (and I include fires and earthquakes) that impact the lives and homes of many people. Arrests also have a profound impact on relationships.
MOON/9º Scorpio conjunct VENUS/9º Scorpio 7:41 am, 10:41 am
Venus/Scorpio is definitely attractive, sexy too, even if that was not her intention. She’s probably spent her whole life watching men act like dicks around her. Forget about voicing any kind of flattery, she’s immune. Ostentatious gifts she can do without. What does have appeal is insight and truth. Causes engage her, the things that are more important than individual fulfillment, that are bigger than ourselves, such as the great issues of our time.
MOON/13º Scorpio square MARS/13º Leo 2:03 pm, 5:03 pm
Fights? Hopefully, they’ll be out on the football or soccer field. Allow people to be free to be their own phenomenon. Let people do their own thing. Nobody likes to be managed. Leos will be pumped up and energized and doing what they believe in and they believe in the rightness of it.
A little later on, when the Moon moves to 15º Scorpio, it reaches a Midpoint between Saturn and Pluto and is placed at a 45º angle to both. Watch out for stress, chill out any conflicts and be careful out on the road.
SUN/23º Scorpio square NEPTUNE/23º Aquarius 3:12 pm, 6:12 pm
All Day Mush Mind Advisory? Confusion, the Buddhists say, is a good thing. People might find that it is a good time to get away from it all and sit with their confusion, out in nature, where you can really get perspective and understand that we are just little tiny specks on the landscape. Really helps me, as we are so people-centered and what seems so important really isn’t in the larger scheme of things.
MERCURY ENTERS SAGITTARIUS 4:28 pm, 7:28 pm
People talk up Big Ideas when Mercury’s in Sagittarius, but Mercury’s in detriment in Saj as the mind flits between multiple subjects. The action of All Planets passing through Sagittarian airspace have multiple effects. They’re not going to stick to just one thing, but try and put all their ideas under one umbrella, often trying to link science and traditional religion. People are optimists and confident in their beliefs, convictions, theories and opinions and tend to proselytize. While Mercury’s here, many get bitten by a travel bug and a desire to travel abroad. Could be a Foot-in Mouth Advisory while Mercury’s here, as they tend to say things that are inappropriate or timed badly. Be aware of your audience. Mercury/Sagittarius makes for sportswriters, travel writers and teachers.

MONDAY NOV 16
MOON/19º Scorpio square JUPITER/19º Aquarius 1:02 am, 4:02 am
What are we overdoing? Spending money impulsively on those late night popular self-indulgences our bodies really don’t need? Fergetaboutit!
MOON/22º Scorpio trine R URANUS/22º Pisces 7:57 am, 10:57 am
Don’t be surprised if you meet someone really nice this morning.
MOON/23º Scorpio square NEPTUNE/23º Aquarius 9:41 am, 12:41 pm
Fads never move Scorpios. Here today and definitely gone tomorrow. Don’t be a sourpuss. Different strokes for different folks.
NEW MOON
MOON/24º 34´ Scorpio conjunct SUN/24º 34´ Scorpio 11:14 am, 2:14 pm
MOON/24º 34´ Scorpio Void-of-Course 11:14 am, 2:14 pm
Our energy could bottom out this hour. Make sure you have a good healthy lunch. New Moons hip us to endings and new beginnings and we might be focused on what the economy is doing. People might think about starting to work on their taxes, rearranging their stock portfolio, but wait on that for awhile. Have No Expectations with the Moon Void-of-Course, just don’t fall asleep at your desk! It might be a good thing to get in a power nap after work when you can.
MERCURY/1º Sagittarius sextile SATURN/1º Libra 8:59 pm
Those Big Ideas best have some practical applications. People might complain that the Saj enthusiasm doesn’t allow others to get a word in edgewise.
MOON ENTERS SAGITTARIUS 9:22 pm PST, 12:22 am EST
Jupiter Rules! Big Time Change of energy! We’re outgoing, social and confident. I would not be surprised if our friends on the West Coast got a second wind and decided to go out for some socializing. More Later.

A Guide to The View on The Big Spin

MONDAY NOVEMBER 2, 2009
MOON/8º Taurus square MARS/8º Leo 6:41 am, 9:41 am
Someone could wake up extra early on “the wrong side of the bed” this morning and be caught unawares. People could be very irritable and very vocal about what they think is right. Anger can be like a physical blow. People on the receiving end feel whacked. Use Extra Caution on the road this morning. NO Road Rage, People! Watch those impulses! Stay cool and centered, witnessing your own words and actions, as well as those of others. People can show courage, especially in speaking truth to power.
MOON/8º Taurus opposite MERCURY/8º Scorpio 8:05 am, 11:05 am
Scorpio definitely voices what he’s dug up, which could be fraudulent claims, hidden motives, underhanded deals and revealing secrets. I imagine that some scandal or smear occupies this news cycle.
FULL MOON
MOON/10º 30´ Taurus opposite SUN/10º 30´ Scorpio 11:14 am, 2:13 pm
This yearly Taurus Full Moon dance in November always puts us to thinking about sex. While Taurus wants the long-term commitment and family-building that sex brings, Scorpios have some scruples about emotional and familial entanglements that could put their personal agenda on hold. Those consequences of sex--STD’s, pregnancy, involvement with extended family and relations also might hang heavily. It’s all on you this Full Moon. Be wise--when you fool around or stop fooling around.
VENUS/23º Libra trine SR NEPTUNE/23º Aquarius 3:22 pm, 6:22 pm
In the background of our Full Moon, Venus/Neptune play a huge part. People are drawn to Archetypal Celebrity Images at the Movies. Who is being idolized? Even some local archetypes seem to embody that Major Mesmerizing Magnetism! Did someone say Drop Dead Gorgeous? The vision of a Mighty Aphrodite has a way of getting our brains to secrete phenylethylamine so we become infatuated, hormonally addled.

TUESDAY NOV 3
ELECTION DAY
MOON/17º Taurus square JUPITER/17º Aquarius 12:06 am, 3:06 am
What are we overdoing late night? Splurging on things we shouldn’t? Indulging yourself? Who’s in the driver’s seat? The adult or the child?
MOON/23º Taurus sextile R URANUS/23º Pisces 8:56 am, 11:56 am
Stay open to intuitive inspirations this morning.
MOON/23º Taurus square SR NEPTUNE/23º Aquarius 10:05 am, 1:05 pm
MOON/23º Taurus Void-of-Course 10:05 am, 1:05 pm
Who’s Zooming who? What the crowd is caught up in might not impress Taurus. Stationary Neptune is quite powerful. Be extra careful of Mixing up Medications or any kind of drug use during this period. There are scams out there just waiting for the gullible today. Don’t be duped! Avoid those get-rich-quick schemes. Yet, aside from this morning, The rest of Tuesday is a Void-of-Course period. Stick with your usual routine and have no major expectations. It’s NOT the day to go shopping or start new projects. People can be frustrated or dissatisfied with what they buy or start.
MOON ENTERS GEMINI 8:53 pm PST, 11:53 pm EST
Mercury Rules. Ready for a Gemini Talk-a-thon? Everyone has fresh energy, especially fresh mental energy. We’re hungry for information, for news, for facts, for ideas. People are hungry to communicate and to learn.
MOON/Oº Gemini trine SATURN/Oº Libra 9:53 pm, 12:53 am
People could talk seriously about the problems they’re having in their relationships with partners, friends and competitors. Or dish the dirt.

WEDNESDAY NOV 4
SR NEPTUNE/23º Aquarius turns Stationary Direct 10:10 am, 1:10 pm
Neptune has a way of getting one’s hopes, idealism and dreams way pumped up and then often bringing disappointment and disillusionment. The Big High and the bigger crash? I know a lot of people can go way up and then way down in their job search. It’ll be important to keep to the Middle Road and not go too high or too low.
MOON/8º Gemini sextile MARS/8º Leo 11:55 am, 2:55 pm
People are definitely On The Move! It’s likely people can show some real courage today and by doing so, en-courage others to be fearless.

THURSDAY NOV 5
SUN/13º Scorpio conjunct MERCURY/13º Scorpio 12:03 am, 3:03 am
Late night, our Scorpio friends could use some of their biting sarcasm or their ability to react with brilliant repartee. .
MOON/18º Gemini trine JUPITER/18º Aquarius 3:33 am, 6:33 am
Lucky? This morning, people feel confident and outgoing. They are excited by New Discoveries, Opportunities and Possibilities. Money could come in suddenly and go out just as quickly.
MOON/22º Gemini square R URANUS/22º Pisces 11:52 am, 2:52 pm
With Neptune turning Direct, that leaves only Uranus Retrograde, which makes it much more powerful! So, Accident Warning--don’t get distracted on the road. Be ready to use your ultra quick reflexes to have close calls instead of wipeouts.
MOON/23º Gemini trine SD NEPTUNE/23º Aquarius 1:04 pm, 4:04 pm
This afternoon, people enjoy being in a crowd. People in Our Favorite Town thinking ahead to the 4:20 club.
MOON/27º Gemini trine VENUS/27º Libra 7:47 pm, 10:47 pm
MOON/27º Gemini Void-of-Course 7:47 pm, 10:47 pm
Venus is definitely attractive, but I think people will feel talked-out and can tire of superficial chatter. Talking just to talk. We feel the tides inside everyone changing. People might be hungering for emotional depth, that silent communion of souls.

FRIDAY NOV 6
MOON ENTERS CANCER 11:42 pm PST, 2:42 am EST
The Moon Rules. We should all glad to be safe at home tonight. The concerns we have about our homes and our families continue to preoccupy our minds this weekend. Our feelings are to the fore and we could respond over-emotionally to disasters or crises with hysteria or panic.
MOON/Oº Cancer square SATURN/Oº Libra 1:04 am, 4:04 am
MOON/1º Cancer opposite PLUTO/1º Capricorn 2:09 am, 5:09 am
Here we go again. Saturn/Pluto. The First Responders among us are out there dealing with another crisis and reacting calmly and quickly and it could be any of us. Hopefully, most everyone is fast asleep. Visualizing and programming their bodies to heal overnight, sending some light to where it’s most needed. Time-out on worrying and visualizing the most fearful, worst case scenario instead of the best possible outcome,
as the struggles with friends, partners and employment continue to dominate.
Saturn/Pluto is about Sudden Departures and What and Who Disappears from our lives here on The Big Spin. And we look around at each other and recognize that everyone is feeling Rather Mortal and life on earth is NFL, that is, Not For Long!
What we consider to be the “Structures” of our lives--is changing dramatically. Our concept of What’s What is changing. And, it’s also a time in which people will attend disaster movies like 2011 in droves--which says a lot about the collective unconscious at present. The familiar world we know--is changing, has changed and we need to start saying what kind of world we want now.
(I’ve just read Alex Horvath’s Pre-Obituary of Gary Abler on Facebook, and I am so very sad that he is dying painfully. Gary has been a friend to a lot of people in Bolinas and probably scared off a lot of tourists. He is a very intelligent guy, but I once had to translate what he was saying to Nancy Blanchard who couldn’t or wouldn’t understand a thing he was saying about the struggles of the Native Americans.)
Let’s take care of our kidneys and our kidneys will take care of us. (Venus/Libra rules the kidneys, diabetes, glandular and ovarian disorders. Saturn/Capricorn bones, arthritis, teeth and stones, and those problems associated with aging.)
The rest of Friday our feelings are engaged in everything we say and do and we will use our ability to empathize with those for whom disaster has struck quite possibly today. There are people who can feel vulnerable during Cancer Moon’s and will be happy to be At Home this weekend where they feel the most comfortable and secure and where they can get in touch with their authentic feeling natures and say how they really feel and can define how others really make them feel.

SATURDAY NOV 7
MOON/15º Cancer trine SUN/15º Scorpio 1:10 am, 4:10 am
MOON/15º Cancer trine MERCURY/15º Scorpio 3:33 am, 6:33 am
Many will be moved to a profound emotional intimacy deep in the night.
MOON/22º Cancer trine R URANUS/22º Pisces 2:26 pm, 5:26 pm
MOON/22º Cancer Void-of-Course 2:26 pm, 5:26 pm
Activities center around Home and Family when the Moon’s in Cancer. Later on, you might be open to meeting unusual people, different from your usual set. The Aquarian Planet stimulates some spontaneity for getting out and about, but we’ll feel the tides changing and we might be a little tired of being indoors or at home. Have NO Expectations about anything Saturday Night. Go with the Flow. Not a good afternoon for starting new projects which can bring frustration or shopping, which can bring quite a bit of dissatisfaction with purchases.
VENUS ENTERS SCORPIO 4:23 pm, 7:23 pm
Venus in detriment here has all the sexy magnetism and glamour, but is not moved by any kind of flattery. Don’t even think about it! They tend to attract the wrong kind of attention and it gets to be a bore. They are disenchanted with most people and what to them is sentimental, shallow and superficial. Sexual impulses can get them into fixes and get in the way of socially acceptable behaviors and require constant control, often making sexual involvement just not worth it. Lack of trust, suspicious jealousy and tyrannical possessiveness tend to make partners suffer. Scorpio is about renouncing all the luxury and comforts that is Venus and can make them exaggerate their austerity to a point of

SUNDAY NOV 8
MOON ENTERS LEO 2:23 am PST, 5:23 EST
The Sun Rules. We will all feel The Hero inside of us today. We trust our best selves, our higher selves. People feel warm, friendly and outgoing and up for having Too Much Fun! We’re looking to entertain others and enjoy being entertained in the social swirl.
MOON/Oº Leo square VENUS/Oº Scorpio 3:21 am, 6:21 am
Make Love Not War? Maybe not if you want to score just for your own ego gratification or want to win a competition. Avoid any kind of late night sarcasm.
MOON/1º Leo sextile SATURN/1º Libra 4:07 am, 7:07 am
Keep in mind one or two practical things.
MERCURY/18º Scorpio square JUPITER/18º Aquarius 6:43 am, 9:43 am
In the background, Mercury/Jupiter have a LOT to say about spending or not spending money. bankrupting the economy by spending money needed infrastructure. Bets.
MOON/10º Leo conjunct MARS/10º Leo 8:21 pm, 11:21 pm
Is there an Alpha Male in the House? Is it Boys Night Out? Mars pumps up the guys on the home team.
VENUS/1º Scorpio sextile PLUTO/1º Capricorn 9:33 pm, 12:33 am
There’s a LOT of passion in the air with Venus/Pluto in the background. Maybe even passion for eliminating what we don’t need or no longer find useful.

MONDAY NOV 9
LAST QUARTER
MOON/17º 23´ Leo square SUN/17º 23´ Scorpio 7:56 am, 10:56 am
Who’s PUSHING for something? Who Resists Being Pushed? Are we having a Who’s The Boss argument? What matters Most to you? Winning at all costs?
MOON/18º Leo opposite JUPITER/18º Aquarius 9:41 am, 12:41 pm
Applause. People find it easy to be generous. I don’t mind.
MOON/20º Leo square MERCURY/20º Scorpio 12:57 pm, 3:57 pm
More Bickering? Somebody might let off some zingers.
MOON/23º Leo opposite SD NEPTUNE/23º Aquarius 6:43 pm, 9:43 pm
MOON/23º Leo Void-of-Course 6:43 pm, 9:43 pm
Performances are over. We know instinctively that it’s time to leave the stage and head for the Green Room to go over and critique our performances, stow away the costumes, props and make-up and to get ready for the rest of the week. That’s it for now.

Dancing With The Planets
The Astrology Column
A Guide to The View on The Big Spin

MONDAY OCTOBER 26, 2009
This Monday the excitement of learning--colors the entire day. People are excited by discoveries in science, medicine, physics, astronomy, electronics-- They’re definitely excited about What’s Popular, What Everyone is talking about, they’re excited by possibilities and opportunities.
MOON/14º Aquarius trine VENUS/14º Libra 6:46 pm, 9:46 pm
Fun. There’s chemistry in the air, at least great conversation and magnetic attraction. Note that Venus/Jupiter are nearly trine--watch the impulse spending or any impulsive self-indulgences that play havoc with your waistline. Don’t touch that Halloween candy!
MOON/17º Aquarius conjunct JUPITER/17º Aquarius 11:40 pm, 2:40 am
We go to sleep tonight feeling lucky, and especially thankful for all we have. Me? I am so grateful for my computer person, Deb Sawyer in Dixmoor, Illinois, who when my computer would not turn on, but kept making a whirring noise, talked me through taking the battery out of my Mac over the phone on a Saturday Night! She is so incredible, a real genius and she doesn’t charge an arm and a leg! God Bless you, Deb!

TUESDAY OCT 27
MOON/23º Aquarius conjunct R NEPTUNE/23º Aquarius 12:11 pm, 3:11 pm
People are talking! What’s New and Popular? What’s the latest Media Feeding Frenzy?
New Movies and New Music grab us. Don’t be surprised if people really want to dance today and they make some kind of opportunity to do so! Young people really want to be where it’s really Happening. Do we make party plans? Our imaginations go wild over discoveries. What really excites us carries us through the day!

WEDNESDAY OCT 28
MOON/29º Aquarius trine MERCURY/29º Libra 12:22 am, 3:22 am
MOON/29º Aquarius Void-of-Course 12:22 am, 3:22 am
Don’t talk away your brainstorms or breakthrough ideas! People could be so impressed that they could want steal them.
MOON ENTERS PISCES 12:45 am PDST, 3:45 am EDST
Neptune/Jupiter Rule. At this hour, people are probably dreaming. However, this morning, those dreams could influence our day. The Pisces in everyone operates on an instinctive level, the the unconscious could lead us down the path of least resistance or could lead us to a higher spiritual plane. Consider all that you put in your body can alter your consciousness for good or not. There’s a lot of imagination and creativity going on with Pisces, often thought of as the actor’s sun sign, but also with dancers and musicians and artists of all kinds. You might find this Elizabeth Gilbert talk about The Muse interesting: www.ted.com/talks/elizabeth_gilbert_on_genius.html

MERCURY ENTERS SCORPIO 3:09 am, 6:09 am
Our minds are penetrating, incisive, shrewd and skeptical when Mercury’s in Scorpio, which will be till November 15th, which is an excellent time to work on a research project or tackle an investigation into a mystery or to cutting through to the essence of a problem or digging up secrets that have been buried. People with Mercury in Scorpio are good at digging out fraud in bookkeeping, insurance or tax claims. We’ll be reading complex mysteries and thrillers, trying to suss out Whodunnit. People in journalism will be digging up the dirt on aspiring candidates. With both Mercury and Sun in Scorpio we’ll see a lot of people who can clarify complex ideas and seem to know more than they’re saying, being tight-lipped when they need to be.
MOON/5º Pisces trine SUN/5º Scorpio 11:37 am, 2:37 am
Could be people are sharing secrets. Consider the Source. Intuition might connect facts.
VENUS/17ª Libra trine JUPITER/17º Aquarius 7:02 pm, 10:02 pm
Stay away from That Halloween Candy! Dieter’s Advisory every time with Venus/Jupiter. A moment on the lips, a lifetime on the hips! People are thinking clothes and costumes.
MERCURY/1º Scorpio sextile PLUTO/1º Capricorn 8:52 pm, 11:52 pm
People might talk about what they can eliminate. We may hear a lot about cutbacks and unpaid vacation days, with governments trying to trim budgets any way they can without raising taxes.

THURSDAY OCT 29
SUN/6º Scorpio square MARS/6º Leo 12:56 am, 3:56 am
Late night arguments get personal? Violent? Some could argue about flaunting or concealing one’s wealth or power or sexuality or self-indulgence in those little luxuries.
SATURN ENTERS LIBRA 10:09 am, 1:09 pm
Saturn is about lessons in partnerships. Over the next 2 1/2 years, we’ll take a fresh look at who we choose to have as friends, how we adapt to the group we’re in, who we choose to be marry and why. We’ll also look at the work it takes to make a relationship work. We’ll look at competitors, opponents and open enemies and what we can learn from them.
Some of us will find completion in our partners, while others can experience distance and coldness or choose those incapable of a meaningful relationship. Some will look for safety and security, while others will find the qualities they fail to acknowledge in themselves will manifest themselves in others. One’s partner can be a source of suffering or of growth.
Saturn in Libra symbolizes the structure of marriage, which legally formalizes relationship. Saturn is exalted in Libra and can be the picture of the law abiding citizen, someone who knows instinctively that what you put out comes right back at you. What we habitually practice in our contacts with people becomes part of who and what we are and we may become aware that Like Attracts Like.
MOON/23º Pisces conjunct R URANUS/23º Pisces 9:56 pm, 12:56 am
People are spontaneous and full of surprises. People can be suddenly clumsy not watching where they’re going. Foot-in-Mouth Advisory too. People can say thoughtless things or reveal confidences quite unconsciously. Be quick to apologize sincerely and repeatedly.

FRIDAY OCT 30
MOON ENTERS ARIES 10:56 am PDST, 1:56 PM EDST
MARS/Pluto Rule. Youth Rules. Kids are soooo excited they can hardly contain themselves! Are YOU ready for Halloween? For the Adventure of Halloween? Kids remind all of us of the Halloween Fun we had when we were kids ourselves. We make ourselves remember how exciting it was for us then and still is!
MOON/Oº Aries opposite SATURN/Oº Libra 11:09 am, 2:09 pm
There’s a Crisis as the Moon sets off the long anticipated Saturn/Pluto square today, A Major Disruption. Be ready for anything today. Be ready to respond calmly and quickly in any kind of emergency, because we all can be First Responders. Moon-Saturn-Pluto form a T-square with the empty corner being Cancer, the home. News we hear today especially from the military or from institutions, corporations and governments can devastate people.
There’s a possibility of some kind of rejection or criticism from a friend or partner. Consider the Source. What’s going on with that person? What unseen pressures or burdens are on them? There’s always a possibility of projection going on with Saturn, The Universe’s way of showing us what’s unconscious in us.
Fear Rules. I think parents should be concerned about children under age 12 getting obsessed or morbid about horror. In Chicago, people are discussing the unhealthy psychological effects of Extreme Haunted Houses with lots of blood and gore that can stick morbidly in the minds of young children. Think age appropriate.
It’s a big thrill for everyone to be scared and to scare others. Are you scared? I’m not scared! And to fool others. Stay in awareness of those anyone who desires power over others like bullies.
MOON/1º Aries square PLUTO/1º Capricorn 1:20 pm, 4:20 pm
This is NOT the day to Speed ANYWHERE! Watch out for the little kids. Really! Even if people are excited and anxious to get their Halloween weekend activities rolling, it’s Not the day to Challenge Authority, especially parental authority. We’ll be seeing this Saturn/Pluto square every seven days set off by the Moon in its phases. People are likely to have to deal with some kind of ongoing crisis, an event that impacts lots of people or is beyond our control or even an encounter with the law. You can expect intense emotion, rage, frustration. What’s been stuffed emotionally for a long time can explode!
MOON/6º Aries trine MARS/6º Leo 11:50 pm, 2:50 am
Young people have over-the-top energy late night when they should be asleep! Mars Rules. People take action. It’ll be important for kids to run off their excess energy earlier in the evening with lots of physical activity.

SATURDAY OCTOBER 31
Halloween
MOON/17º Aries sextile JUPITER/17º Aquarius 7:46 pm, 10:46 pm
Halloween is HUGE here in Chicago. Every night--the TV news shows yet another home that’s completely decorated for Halloween. (It starts from October 1st, No Kidding!) People spend Big Money not just on candy for the trick or treaters! Spider webs, tombstones, scary music, ghouls hanging from the eaves, vampires appearing out of nowhere! Lots and lots of spooks and pumpkins!
Halloween is all-day-long thing this year. Expect to see people out and about in costume, looking to get attention.
Make sure that little kids can see and breathe easily in masks and costumes after dark. Yeah, it is a good idea to carry a flashlight! Let’s look out for one another, People. For the very littlest children, coming home to normal can be a welcome relief.

SUNDAY NOVEMBER 1
ALL SAINT’S DAY
MOON/21º Aries opposite VENUS/21º Libra 1:59 am, 4:59 am
Minerva in the SF Chronicle used to write: “Love, love, love in the night, night, night.”
I think it’s appropriate here. I remember Bill Cosby’s deep voice intoning: “Are your children at home... in bed... ALONE?”
Daylight Savings Time ends at 2:00 am. Turn clocks back one hour.
MOON/23º Aries sextile SR NEPTUNE/23º Aquarius 5:30 am, 8:30 am
MOON/23º Aries Void-of-Course 5:30 am, 8:30 am
There’s always someone coming home from a party in the early morning hours. While most people sleep in, kids could get together early this morning to check out their “loot” or the pictures they took, and discuss what was the most popular, scary or imaginative. Some might be thinking of Next Year! Some might feel frustrated in getting their desires met immediately. Or be demanding of instant gratification.
The Moon is Void-of-Course till late this afternoon. And when the Aries Moon is Void-of-Course, you can always expect a Whining Advisory. You might hear: “I don’t wanna. Do I hafta?” Stick with your usual Sunday routine. Definitely Not the day to go shopping or to start new projects, which may not bring you the satisfaction or results you anticipate. Neptune turns Direct next week, so it is pretty powerful while Stationary.
MOON ENTERS TAURUS 4:45 pm PST, 7:45 pm EST
Venus Rules. Suddenly, it’s Really Dark at 5 pm! WOW! But the nearly Full Moon is rising in the East! Are we back in The Material World? People are less conscious of what they want and more conscious of what they already have. They’re more aware of the condition of their bodies and the true nature of their feelings. How do we feel about ourselves? I’m OK, You’re OK? If you’re not, you’d best get busy doing something about it. We’re conscious of what we’ve been given by life through our families and how well we’ve used those opportunities and what we’ve earned on our own.
MERCURY/7º Scorpio square MARS/7º Leo 4:51 pm, 7:51 pm
Fight Club? Not just on the football field! While these two have been slowly moving up on each other over the weekend, the Full Moon sets these two off tomorrow! Is it another “Who’s The Boss” argument? Dogged investigations or suspicious questions or revealed secrets might rile people in power or inflame a powerful reaction. Tomorrow, the nearly Full Moon catches up with these two tomorrow forming a T-square, the empty corner being Aries. Think first of how loud and intense arguments impact children.
MOON/1º Taurus trine PLUTO/1º Capricorn 7:06 pm, 10:06 pm
Changes are easier to make this evening, especially as winter preparations come to mind. It’s a good time to look at our calendar and priorities for the next two months and plan our agenda. Time to make a list.

MONDAY NOV 2
MOON/8º Taurus square MARS/8º Leo 6:41 am, 9:41 am
Someone could wake up extra early on “the wrong side of the bed” this morning and be caught unawares. People could be very irritable and very vocal about what they think is right. Anger can be like a physical blow. People on the receiving end feel whacked. Use Extra Caution on the road this morning. NO Road Rage, People! Watch those impulses! Stay cool and centered, witnessing your own words and actions, as well as those of others. People can show courage, especially in speaking truth to power.
MOON/8º Taurus opposite MERCURY/8º Scorpio 8:05 am, 11:05 am
Scorpio definitely voices what he’s dug up, which could be fraudulent claims, hidden motives, underhanded deals and revealing secrets. I imagine that some scandal or smear occupies this news cycle.
FULL MOON
MOON/10º 30´ Taurus opposite SUN/10º 30´ Scorpio 11:14 am, 2:13 pm
This yearly Taurus Full Moon dance in November always puts us to thinking about sex. While Taurus wants the long-term commitment and family-building that sex brings, Scorpio has some scruples about emotional and familial entanglements that could put their personal agenda on hold. Those consequences of sex--STD’s, pregnancy, involvement with extended family and relations also might hang heavily. It’s all on you this Full Moon. Be wise--when you fool around or stop fooling around.
VENUS/23º Libra trine SR NEPTUNE/23º Aquarius 3:22 pm, 6:22 pm
In the background of our Full Moon, Venus/Neptune play a huge part. People are drawn to Archetypal Celebrity Images at the Movies. Who is being idolized? Even some local archetypes seem to embody that Major Mesmerizing Magnetism! Did someone say Drop Dead Gorgeous? The vision of a Mighty Aphrodite has a way of getting our brains to secrete phenylethylamine so we become infatuated, hormonally addled. That’s all for now!

MONDAY OCTOBER 19, 2009
MOON/17º Scorpio square JUPITER/17º Aquarius 2:16 pm, 5:16 pm
What are we overdoing? Splurging? Giving away in a potlatch--Giving things to people who need them? Or who can fix them? In Chicago, people donate their old bikes to a bike collective who fix them, same goes for computers. Good causes get people’s support. The ability to fix and mend things will be much more important in the future.
We are just past the New Moon in Libra, you’ll see the New Crescent in the west at
sunset.

TUESDAY OCT 20
MOON/23º Scorpio trine R Uranus/23º Pisces 1:35 am, 4:35 am
Sexy Spontaneity? Or, are we meeting unusual people in our dreams?
MOON/23º Scorpio square R NEPTUNE/23º Aquarius 2:14 am, 5:14 am
Late night confusion? DUI Advisory? Hangover? Don’t get eliminated at work by oversleeping or not being with it. Scorpio generally doesn’t buy into What’s Popular.
MOON/29º Scorpio sextile SATURN/29º Virgo 11:57 am, 2:57 pm
MOON/29º Scorpio Void-of-Course 11:57 am, 2:57 pm
We’re careful when it comes to details, especially when it comes to making a case. What Scorpio digs up is brought to the light in Sagittarius.
MOON ENTERS SAGITTARIUS 1:49 pm PDST, 4:49 pm EDST
Jupiter Rules. Everyone has fresh energy and confidence. Teachers Rule. They’ll be at their best over the next couple of days. Coaches too will be encouraging their teams and athletes. Their enthusiasm for their subject shows they are on fire with ideas like salesmen. Our beliefs, convictions, opinions and theories are very important to us. The Saj in us is often concerned with the Metaphysical Theory of Everything. Saj/Jupiter tends to be more traditional in their beliefs of deity leading up to Christmas. Our Saj friends dislike confinement of any kind and are often big world travelers.
MERCURY/17º Libra trine JUPITER/17º Aquarius 2:50 pm, 5:50 pm
Everyone has a whole lot to talk about! People display wit, if not an astounding ability to keep the conversation flowing. People talk about Opportunities. Big Ideas.
MOON/2º Sagittarius trine MARS/2º Leo 5:52 pm, 8:52 pm
People are up for a little sports action. They want to get physical. Or else they want to work out. Mars goes after what he knows in his heart is right.

WEDNESDAY OCT 21
MOON/8º Sagittarius sextile VENUS/8º Libra 5:11 am, 8:11 am
We’re attracted to beauty wherever we find it. Everyone’s positive all day on Wednesday, The belief we have in ourselves keeps us going forward.
MOON/17º Sagittarius sextile JUPITER/17º Aquarius 10:46 pm, 1:46 am
Jupiter Rules. And people feel good. We could celebrate tonight! We celebrate those discoveries, those brainstorms, those breakthroughs in all the sciences especially electronics, medicine, archaeology and those wins on the playing field. Programs that benefit a large group of people get funded. We celebrate getting this far in the week!

THURSDAY OCT 22
MOON/20º Sagittarius sextile MERCURY/20º Libra 3:47 am, 6:47 am
Some could wake up with loving ideas or express ourselves creatively about how we really feel about our those we love, our partners or teachers, coaches.
MOON/23º Sagittarius square R URANUS/23º Pisces 10:32 am, 1:32 pm
Accident Advisory? What risks are we taking? Pay Attention to The Road! No Distractions! No Fender-Benders! Watch your step too, when you’re excited! Foot-in-Mouth Advisory? Could be!
MOON/23º Sagittarius sextile R NEPTUNE/23º Aquarius 11:19 am, 2:19 pm
This morning, group activities that link to popular culture are a teacher’s dream.
MOON/29º Sagittarius square SATURN/29º Virgo 10:13 pm, 1:13 am
Tonight, criticism from teachers, coaches, publishers--on our work, on what we’ve produced? Consider the Source. Some could lie about something or disparage others out of some kind of fear that they haven’t faced. Observe that part of your unconscious mind that is judgmental today. Watch what it picks out as flaws or faults in others, as a good guide to what you’ve been ignoring in yourself.
Slow-moving Saturn is about to leave Virgo and enter Libra and then square-off with Pluto.
MOON/29º Sagittarius sextile SUN/29º Libra 11:39 pm, 2:39 am
MOON/29º Sagittarius Void-of-Course 11:39 pm, 2:39 am
We make sure that we assure others that we care, that we will remain friends despite disagreements before we go to bed--
MOON ENTERS CAPRICORN 11:39 pm PDST, 2:29 am EDST
Saturn Rules. Late night, we have fresh determination to do better and the concentration to do what we must. This continues all day Friday and through the weekend to Sunday afternoon. Some are going to be ambitious to Make Money this weekend. Others to Accomplish things this weekend. What do we need to do before Winter. Projects.
Capricorn quietly gets things done, puts in the time and practice, so that it looks effortless.
SUN ENTERS SCORPIO 11:44 pm PDST, 2:44 am EDST
Happy Birthday to our Scorpio friends and neighbors! WHO wants to push the envelope? The-Scorpio-in-all-of-us! TV’s The Mentalist has nothing on our Scorpio friends! They zero in on the Personal Intent of individuals and see if their will power is strong and long lasting enough, to enable them to reach their goal. They usually will find out the niche the person can best fit, which can sometimes benefit Scorpio’s own desires.
This is the Halloween month and the supernatural holds a lot of allure as do mysteries, courtroom dramas and puzzles of all kinds. The research we embark upon proves fascinating, as Scorpio loves investigating and getting down to the nitty-gritty.

FRIDAY OCT 23
MOON/1º Capricorn conjunct PLUTO/1º Capricorn 1:51 am, 4:51 am
Late night, early morning, another crisis? Our concentration and objective emotional detachment helps us respond quickly and effectively, when things seem to be going out of control. Make a point of checking on the well being of older friends and neighbors.
Pluto/Capricorn brings about those events that are beyond our control--like weather events.
MOON/11º Capricorn square VENUS/11º Libra 10:43 pm, 1:43 am
Friday Night, career ambition may come into conflict with social ambition. Capricorns might wish they were more socially adept, while Libras may wish they were more materially successful. Drop making comparisons and contrasts of yourself to others. You will never be anyone but yourself, so be the best YOU that you can be!

SATURDAY OCT 24
SUN/1º Scorpio sextile PLUTO/1º Capricorn 2:55 am, 5:55 am
Someone feels powerful late night, conscious of their own strength, attractiveness and sexuality. People have strong Personal Intent that borders on the shamanic. It’s not what we can make other people do--for us. It’s what we can make ourselves do--for others. No one has the right to have coercive “power over” another. Pluto tends to bring together people on Both Sides of The Law to The Courts.
MERCURY/23º Libra trine R NEPTUNE/23º Aquarius 9:56 am, 12:56 am
The cultural mavens are onto what’s popular especially in Music and Movies. Someone’s performance really “sends” to a large audience! What we say and how we say it could travel a long way. Look out for “The Memes.”
MOON/23º Capricorn sextile R URANUS/23º Pisces 10:27 pm, 1:27 am
Surprises! It’s possible if we stay open, that we could meet someone unusual, different from our usual set of friends. The answers we seek could pop into our heads if we Ask The Universe persistently for direction.

SUNDAY OCT 25
MOON/25º Capricorn square MERCURY/25º Libra 1:37 am, 4:37 am
Late night disagreements? Something to sleep through?
MOON/29º Capricorn trine SATURN/29º Virgo 11:15 am, 2:15 pm
MOON/29º Capricorn Void-of-Course 11:15 am, 2:15 pm
Work or Doing What We Must as cheerfully as possible occupies the morning, but after this hour, people are definitely Done with Work.
MOON ENTERS AQUARIUS 12:08 pm PDST, 3:08 pm EDST
Uranus/Saturn Rule. Electricity Rules and people are excited and spontaneous! People allow each other to be individuals--to be free to be the phenomenon they are. Look out for the Bodacious BOriginals in My Favorite Town. People are likely to let it all hang out and not care what anyone thinks about their unusual stylin´ because they are having FUN. We’re on The Halloween Countdown now! People have enormous creativity and imagination.
FIRST QUARTER
MOON/2º 44´ Aquarius square SUN/2º 44´ Scorpio 5:42 pm PDST, 8:42 pm EDST
This First Quarter--people push to Do Something. Young people want excitement, to go places and do things. Older people might push for peace and quiet. While Aquarius sees the benefit of philanthropic largesse and improving the societal infrastructure, Scorpio wonders what supporting libraries and schools and healthcare is going to cost him in increased taxes. Oh, some people might just be easily offended or insulted tonight by unconscious or thoughtless remarks!
MOON/4º Aquarius opposite MARS/4º Leo 9:30 pm, 12:30 am
Fights? Maybe. Leo wants to lead, and generally Aquarius will let him. Leo wants to be where the action is, but tonight Leo might just have a strong reaction to same sex propositions. Different styles that’s for sure!

MONDAY OCT 26
This Monday the excitement of learning--colors the entire day. People are excited by discoveries in science, medicine, physics, astronomy, electronics-- They’re definitely excited about What’s Popular, What Everyone is talking about, they’re excited by possibilities and opportunities.
MOON/14º Aquarius trine VENUS/14º Libra 6:46 pm, 9:46 pm
Fun. There’s chemistry in the air, at least great conversation and magnetic attraction. Note that Venus/Jupiter are nearly trine--watch the impulse spending or any impulsive self-indulgences that play havoc with your waistline. Don’t touch that Halloween candy!
MOON/17º Aquarius conjunct JUPITER/17º Aquarius 11:40 pm, 2:40 am
We go to sleep tonight feeling lucky, and especially thankful for all we have.

MONDAY OCTOBER 12, 2009
Columbus Day - Canadian Thanksgiving
MOON/3º Leo sextile MERCURY/3º Libra 3:43 am, 6:43 am
Late night, people may speak of beauty, love and partnership. Is it praise or flattery? You decide. The Moon’s in Leo and applause is much appreciated.
MARS/27º Cancer sextile SATURN/27º Virgo 1:51 pm, 4:51 pm
With these two in the background of the Waning Leo Moon, people are likely to work hard physically around the house this holiday Monday. Cleaning up, getting things organized for not just Monday, but for the Fall and Winter ahead. Organizing the home, garden and work environment.
SR JUPITER/17º Aquarius turns Stationary Direct 9:36 pm, 12:36 am
Who feels lucky? Even though Jupiter hangs at 17º all month long. Everyone is Thrilled by New Discoveries, cutting edge science, medical breakthroughs, dividends from electronics and technology, new investment possibilities, even sudden windfalls are now possible. Jupiter first turned Retrograde this past June 15th, for about 4 months. Now, we will be thinking ahead to the Fall holidays. What’s Popular and What Sells--may not be What’s Hip.

TUESDAY OCT 13
MOON/17º Leo opposite SD JUPITER/17º Aquarius 3:06 am, 6:06 am
Performers feel great late night, like nothing can fail--so do gamblers--but in the background right behind Moon/Jupiter comes the Venus/Saturn conjunction.
VENUS/28º Virgo conjunct SATURN/28º Virgo 3:52 am, 6:52 am
Sleep. People could feel way insecure behind this conjunction. They could be way hard on themselves, down about the way they look and feel. Could be time to resolve to do something about it and get busy--getting healthy! Let’s not let any depressed person we know fall through the cracks! Things always change--
MOON/20º Leo sextile SUN/20º Libra 8:37 am, 11:37 am
Fine morning. People are positive, charming and courteous to each other. How nice!
VENUS/28º Virgo sextile MARS/28º Cancer 11:31 am, 2:31 pm
When we show genuine appreciation to others or offer genuine praise, it often comes “Rightbackatya!” When we feel okay, our world is okay. We attract people of similar disposition. People express genuine liking of each other today and find it is reciprocal! Seems to me we can put each other on an upward spiral, instead of a downward one. WHAT a change from one day to the next!
MOON/23º Leo opposite R NEPTUNE/23º Aquarius 2:21 pm, 5:21 pm
MOON/23º Leo Void-of-Course 2:21 pm, 5:21 pm
Leo gathers an audience around the power of his personality today because he is speaking idealistically, for a cause bigger than himself, but after this hour, he’ll leave them wanting more. People are sure to intuitively know when it’s time to leave the stage. Others will not. Some might act out to get even more attention. Time to change hats, put the make-up, props and costumes away. Definitely NOT the time to go shopping, because our purchases will not give us lasting satisfaction. Including Halloween Costumes after this hour. Nor is it a good time to Start New Projects. Pencil in frustration and unexpected results if you do. Might be a good time to look back on our “performance” of the last several days... while the Moon’s Void-of-Course in Leo, in the “Green Room” off-stage, when we get with ourselves.

WEDNESDAY OCT 14
MOON ENTERS VIRGO 12:45 am PDST, 3:45 am EDST
Mercury Rules. Fresh energy late night? Maybe. This morning the Virgo Moon puts us to getting organized, cleaning house and making plans. This Virgo--has gotten the flu.
So the rest of this column probably won’t be much or there may be glaring omissions and mistakes. (There always are!) Stay Healthy, People. Take your vitamins and get your rest. And protect yourself and others from this misery.
MOON/Oº Virgo trine PLUTO/Oº Capricorn 2:20 am, 5:20 am
Pluto in good aspect brings about material world changes. Are you planning on organizing a garage sale? Culling the things you haven’t used or worn? With the Virgo Moon, we stay on it, we show how capable, efficient and together we are!
VENUS ENTERS LIBRA 3:46 PM PDST, 6:46 pm EDST
Back on her home turf again, Venus brings out the social butterfly in everyone. People are looking for long term partnerships. We dress to impress. And, we’ll be creative in keeping the momentum of conversation and activities going. Venus/Libra can spend considerable time and money on appearances and craves the latest thing beauty products. Men with Venus/Libra expect that their mates will be quite presentable. There’s a certain amount of idealism regarding relationships, wanting the “right people” as friends, as well as role-playing. Venus here can’t imagine life without marriage, which may also be financially rewarding.

THURSDAY OCT 15
VENUS/Oº Libra square PLUTO/Oº Capricorn 10:20 am, 1:20 pm
Sometimes women can attract the wrong kind of attention in the wrong places. Be careful out on the street, even in daylight hours. Pluto can exert coercive pressure on Venus. We may hear about violence directed at women. Yet, women also can provoke a violent reaction. The Moon activates to these two early Friday morning as we head towards the New Moon in Libra on Saturday.
MOON/23º Virgo opposite R URANUS/23º Pisces 4:33 pm, 7:33 pm
Pay Attention to The Road! Sudden Close Calls Driving? Sudden insight? Sudden Attitude adjustment. People have had a long-- week! People who work hard, especially at manual labor want to find something to change their consciousness rapidly after work and drink and drugs do it. However, Saturn is coming up--

FRIDAY OCT 16
MOON/28º Virgo conjunct SATURN/28º Virgo 12:55 am, 3:55 am
Call Home E.T. Go to sleep. Time out on worrying too. You won’t be any good to anyone, if you’re tired tomorrow. Take some extra vitamins and don’t let yourself get run down this New Moon Weekend.
MOON/29º Virgo sextile MARS/29º Cancer 3:18 am, 6:18 am
MOON/29º Virgo Void-of-Course 3:18 am, 6:18 am
This is the last aspect to Mars in Cancer, I must admit that people on the homefront have hung tough this year in the Cancer-Ruled U.S.A. Mars entered Cancer and opposed Pluto 8/25-8/26. There’s been a lot of upheaval in our homes, many finishing remodeling or refinancing projects.
MOON ENTERS LIBRA 3:29 am PDST, 6:29 am EDST
Venus Rules--the Dark of The Moon in Libra. Some of us might be looking at beginning and/or ending of friendships and relationships.
MOON/Oº Libra square PLUTO/Oº Capricorn 5:09 am, 8:09 am
Early morning upsets. Don’t be Early Morning Road Kill, People. People can attempt provoking others, especially at work. What’s behind that? My old mentor used to say that the biggest bitches are the ones who are the most scared. There’s some truth to that. Could be about “Losing Control” or Losing Power Over other people. Libra’s the house not only of partners and friends but also of competitors and opponents.
There’s yet another crisis, that we can and will handle. more bad news from law enforcement.
MOON/2º Libra conjunct VENUS/2º Libra 6:56 am, 9:56 am
While Venus is just 2º past its square to Pluto, they might as well be conjunct especially with the Pluto still is provoking Venus. We may be rehashing events from earlier in the week. Venus is Mighty Aphrodite today. Everyone will feel more than attractive this morning, we’ll feel our Personal Magnetism!
MARS ENTERS LEO 8:33 am PDST, 11:33 am EDST
Mars will physically energizes our Leo friends. They take action fearlessly without debating the positive and negative. They will do what their hearts tell them is the right without any fear of opposition. Generally, they will be right. President Barack Obama has Mercury at 2º opposite Jupiter in Aquarius. So you can count on him making powerful and idealistic speeches that move people! Mars here instills courage and gathers people together with the power of his personality. Performers will be shining! Expect drama and originality.
Mars will be in Leo for the rest of the year turning Retrograde 12/20 at 19º when we’ll see it manifest as excessive drive and fanaticism and people could become pushy and arrogant.
SUN/23º Libra trine R NEPTUNE/23º Aquarius 5:47 pm, 8:47 pm
All Day, People want to be in a crowd this evening, at a party or in the audience at a popular movie or concert. They want to see celebrities.
MOON/11º Libra conjunct MERCURY/11º Libra 10:22 pm, 1:22 am
Words of love? Someone expressing their opinion in matters of taste or suitability?

SATURDAY OCT 17
MOON/17º Libra trine JUPITER/17º Aquarius 9:00 am, 12:00 pm
With Jupiter Direct, there could be opportunity this morning in meeting people. Stay open to new possibilities! Make a wish list. What’s your picture? Learn how are other people finding success?
MOON/23º Libra trine R NEPTUNE/23º Aquarius 8:28 pm, 11:28 pm
Tonight, alcohol and idealism might be part of the evening, but with the New Moon, watch your intake.
NEW MOON
MOON/24º 59´ Libra conjunct SUN/24º 59´ Libra 10:33 pm, 1:33 am
MOON/24º 59´ Libra Void-of-Course 10:33 pm, 1:33 am
This New Moon could cause the energy to drop like a stone. The oldest and the youngest could call it a night long before this hour. People could make “exclusive” noises, wanting to be more intimate with Special Friends. Let em. That’s your cue to put your center back on yourself! Rather than try and adapt to someone else’s thing. What’s on Your Agenda? New Moons are about beginnings and endings of relationships. People might be inclined to pull back from the social whirl and start anew.

SUNDAY OCT 18
MOON ENTERS SCORPIO 7:23 am PDST, 10:23 am EDST
Mars/PLUTO Rule. Everyone gets an energy boost when the Moon changes signs.
The Scorpio in all of us gets up this morning and prioritizes doing what we must do. Yeah, get out the calendar and make plans. (I’m thinking of that old R&B song about You got to make Plaaaaans!) Two Weeks to Halloween. Six weeks till Thanksgiving and less than ten weeks till Christmas. This New Moon is an excellent morning to sketch out a strategy. Consider what you’re going to eliminate to reach your goal. What takes up your time and you need to cut out. Like diversions.
We look at What Really Matters and what doesn’t, we want to dig down to the Nitty-gritty, to the essence, to the truth. We’ll be into mysteries, courtroom dramas, puzzles and might enjoy a research project!
MOON/1º Scorpio square MARS/1º Leo 9:10 am, 12:10 pm
Another ‘Who’s The Boss’ argument? Most likely out on The Playing Field. People can go off totally on each other. Push each other’s buttons. There’s a whole lot of stress as Mars/Pluto are quincunx 150º also this weekend. Be careful, stay calm, no matter what! Allow people to be their own phenomena, don’t be provoked. Could be someone wants leadership Football Sunday and someone wants to out-smart their opponent.
Notice that timing of the New Moon’s square to Mars is the same as the sextile to Pluto both Scorpio’s rulers.
MOON/1º Scorpio sextile PLUTO/1º Capricorn 9:10 am, 12:10 pm
Someone getting eliminated through injury? Scorpio keeps people focused on what they need to do before Monday. Yeah, people will feel sexy tonight.

MONDAY OCT 19
MOON/17º Scorpio square JUPITER/17º Aquarius 2:16 pm, 5:16 pm
What are we overdoing? Splurging? Giving away in a potlatch--Giving things to people who need them? Or who can fix them? In Chicago, people donate their old bikes to a bike collective of people who fix them, same goes for computers. Good causes get people’s support. The ability to fix things will be more important in the future.

MONDAY OCTOBER 5, 2009
MOON ENTERS TAURUS 9:33 am PDST, 12:33 pm EDST
Venus Rules. Beauty MOVES us. Our feelings and bodies are our most prized possessions. People want to look and feel the best they can Monday morning. Taurus puts us to how well we use what we’ve been given by parents, opportunities we’ve had that others haven’t, what we’ve experienced, what we’ve learned, and-- what we’ve really earned. We show what we can do.
MOON/Oº Taurus trine PLUTO/Oº Capricorn 11:00 am, 2:00 pm
Ch-ch-ch-changes. We go with the flow. Changes are easier to make now. People could blow off steam at work, and thus lessening tension, but I figure we coast today and tomorrow. We make a point of enjoying the work we do, staying cheerful and positive. As we’re just past Friday’s Aries Full Moon, we still ride on its energy.

TUESDAY OCT 6
Venus continues to Rule, but in Virgo, Mercury has override capacity on the emotions, making us stay on the task at hand. Many of us will work on honing our skills and practicing our practice. When we can do what we do quickly and efficiently, we’ve “own” our skills. We make doing what we do as enjoyable as possible.
MOON/17º Taurus square SR JUPITER/17º Aquarius 4:18 pm, 7:18 pm
Unexpected Expenses? Or, Unexpected Benefits? People could overdo the spending or over-indulging on those creature comforts. Dieter’s Advisory!
MOON/19º Taurus trine VENUS/19º Virgo 9:56 pm, 12:56 am
Venus in Virgo just might inspire us to get some romance going tonight. Or some creative activity.

WEDNESDAY OCT 7
MOON/23º Taurus sextile R URANUS/23º Pisces 4:00 am, 7:00 am
People could wake suddenly in the night. Pay attention to your dreams! Or be up early to get out there and get the day started! People might spontaneously or intuitively offer insights that are key for us.
MOON/23º Taurus square R NEPTUNE/23º Aquarius 4:06 am, 7:06 am
Late Night DUI Advisory? Early morning hangover or lack of sleep? Be careful driving this morning! Pay attention to how you really feel physically, especially if you are in crowds of people. Protect yourself
MOON/24º Taurus sextile MARS/24º Cancer 6:31 pm, 9:31 pm
Tonight, the Taurus Moon validates the actions of women, maybe even invests his capital in them. Or works with them to take care of necessity around the house.
MOON/25º Taurus trine MERCURY/25º Virgo 9:10 am, 12:10 pm
People can have very practical ideas this morning. Good communication and good work.
MOON/27º Taurus trine SATURN/27º Virgo 10:19 am, 1:19 pm
MOON/27º Taurus Void-of-Course 10:19 am, 1:19 pm
Work. We handle as many responsibilities and obligations as we can before this hour. Do we plan on completing projects today? Are we putting on the finishing touches?
MOON ENTERS GEMINI 2:46 pm PDST, 5:46 pm EDST
Mercury Rules. It’s a Talk-a-thon, when the Moon’s in Gemini. People are thinking of traveling or going places in the books they read. Everyone is hungry for facts, for the latest news, people want a wide variety of opinion, just as they want to know a wide variety of people. We are very social, promoting ourselves and what we do.
MERCURY/27º Virgo conjunct SATURN/27º Virgo 11:38 pm, 2:38 am
In the background, Tongue-tied? Over-critical? Silence is golden. Might be a good idea not to gossip tonight. Try not to say anything about anybody else that you wouldn’t want said about yourself. When Virgos stuff their true feelings, opinions or fears, it can cause a reaction in their guts, as some hold their tension there. Saturn is Fear. And Fear causes us to LIE. May I recommend Sissela Bok’s classic ‘Lying’ to you?
Something left undone from this afternoon? People could worry and voice their worries to others. Computer systems crashes? Secretaries and nurses feeling overwhelmed? There’s a tendency to over-classify with Mercury/Saturn, to be swamped by detail. People might just write out their feelings and frustrations in their journals.

THURSDAY OCT 8
Today, the Moon in Gemini keeps us busy, talking, getting on the road for short trips!
MOON/15º Gemini trine SUN/15º Libra 6:27 pm, 9:27 pm
Great Evening! Grand Air Trine Sun-Moon-Jupiter. Very much a night to be social.
MOON/17º Gemini trine SR JUPITER/17º Aquarius 8:42 pm, 11:42 pm
People feel lucky. It’s likely many will feel entertained by what’s broadcast on TV.

FRIDAY OCT 9
MOON/23º Gemini square VENUS/23º Virgo 7:23 am, 10:23 am
Friday morning, we may be unhappy about our relationships or ourselves. Get busy doing something about it. Go for a run. You might meet someone new, but don’t expect it to last. Venus/Uranus aspects do not promote long term relationships.
MOON/23º Gemini square R URANUS/23º Pisces 8:05 am, 11:05 am
Accident Advisory? More likely something from our subconscious, triggers a Foot-in-Mouth Advisory. But there’s always a possibility of a flash of intuitive understanding or psychological insight.
MOON/23º Gemini trine R NEPTUNE/23º Aquarius 8:16 am, 11:16 am
What’s popular with the crowd? People could discuss Halloween, if the kids in your house haven’t been obsessed with the Fall Fantasy Holiday already! People in Chicago already have started decorating their houses for Halloween decorations. And people are talking about the tricks--
MOON/27º Gemini square SATURN/27º Virgo 2:53 pm, 5:53 pm
Everyone will feel low energy this afternoon probably even earlier than this hour. Kids come home from school tired and hungry, even worried about lots of homework. People could feel discouraged and down. Talked-Out. There a possibility of Lying about work or a love interest.
VENUS/23º Virgo opposite R URANUS/23º Pisces 3:01 pm, 6:01 pm
Someone’s spontaneously open to a fling. You might have an unusual flirtation with someone wildly different. Even possibly a same sex flirtation. Someone you know well and trust? Interesting timing for Venus/Uranus to be exactly in opposition in the background, as the Gemini Moon squares-off with Saturn and Mercury so recently conjunct...
MOON/29º Gemini square MERCURY/29º Virgo 6:35 pm, 9:35 pm
MOON/29º Gemini Void-of-Course 6:35 pm, 9:35 pm
Disagreements are likely. One of those nights when you allow people to think the way they want, after all they are their own phenomenon.
MOON ENTERS CANCER 6:48 pm PDST, 9:48 pm EDST
The Moon Rules. Feelings! Unless we are emotionally authentic, this could be a difficult period. Stay in Awareness of your own and other people’s feelings, especially those of children. We are glad to get everyone in the family home safe tonight and may feel more comfortable and less insecure on our own home turf. A rainy weekend ahead? Or one in which we’re home to get ready for the change of seasons. Women are center stage this weekend, making domestic life very, very attractive.
MOON/Oº Cancer opposite PLUTO/Oº Capricorn 8:17 pm, 11:17 pm
Possible Crisis Alert? Are we ready to respond to any kind of emergency in our homes, big or small, calmly, quickly and effectively? Pluto could be pulling the rug out from under people again. Not just Job Loss, Pluto can bring about ‘falls from power’ or loss of reputation. Pluto does tend to bring powerful people on both sides of the law together. Be careful Homeguys and Homegirls of who or what you let into your home. People born around the time of the Solstices and Equinoxes may be going through all kinds of changes! While Mercury/Libra squares off with Pluto tomorrow, the Moon, though not Void-of-Course makes no aspects till the First Quarter early on Sunday morning.
I read somewhere that the warm El Nino, or Los Ninos are going to be a regular part of the climate picture! Instead of appearing once every 5 years, they will occur most every year! I think of the people on the other side of the Pacific, who have been experiencing floods, typhoons, tsunamis not to mention earthquakes. Pluto represents those Extreme Weather Events or those “Acts of God” that are beyond the control of individuals. Because we can imagine how we’d feel if our homes and loved ones were swept away, and empathize with the anguish of people truly destitute. We respond by giving all we can to help those in the greatest need.
MERCURY ENTERS LIBRA 8:46 pm PDST, 11:46 pm EDST
What we say and how we say it is important. People can be positively eloquent when Mercury’s in Libra, kind, considerate and courteous too. They exhibit Charm, that quality of attentive receptivity to what another is saying. All of us will make a point of being charming listeners. We’re drawn to pleasant and civilized company and are conscious of how we present ourselves to others.

SATURDAY OCT 10
The Moon’s still in Cancer
SUN/17º Libra trine SR JUPITER/17º Aquarius 1:38 am, 4:38 am
Picture Sun/Jupiter in the background All Day Friday and All Day Saturday. People are outgoing and confident and will take in lots of events this weekend and meet a lot of people. Great Night for a Benefit. We want to listen to scientists talk about their discoveries, what’s cutting edge. We want brilliant conversation and new ideas or new investment possibilities. Cultural Mavens declare What’s Popular and reveal their movies and music picks. We feel lucky and grateful for all we have.
MERCURY/Oº Libra square PLUTO/Oº Capricorn 11:43 am, 2:43 pm
Bad News? Accident Advisory--take care out there on the road today. To injure yourself is one thing, to injure someone else, especially a child, is quite another. Some of you might have Car Karma, needing to take your vehicle to the mechanic, before your ride breaks down.
People can really injure each other by the hurtful things they say. Or as Berkeley Psychic Institute puts it--psychically ‘whack’ each other with loud angry invective. Consider The Source. What unseen fears, burdens or hardships is that person carrying?
Tonight, activities around the home or involving the family are best.

SUNDAY OCTOBER 11
LAST QUARTER
MOON/18º 11´ Cancer square SUN/18º 11´ Libra 1:56 am, 4:56 am
Late night, people may find themselves caught between what partners and friends (even outsiders, competitors or opponents) want on one hand, and what family, people in the immediate environment want on the other. Sometimes you have to please both.
MOON/23º Cancer trine R URANUS/23º Pisces 11:20 am, 2:20 pm
Later, we could meet people whose spiritual view of reality may be quite unusual or someone different from our usual group of friends. There’s a lot of spontaneous resonance between people on an emotional or feeling level.
MOON/26º Cancer sextile VENUS/26º Virgo 3:43 pm, 6:43 pm
People could have fun. You might note that during this period Venus, Saturn and Mars are getting into a pretty tight sextile. People could undertake new partnerships during this period that could be long-lasting or linked to the past. The 60º Mars-Saturn sextile could indicate hard work, the Venus-Saturn conjunction that we’ll see exactly conjunct on Tuesday insecurity or professional icy cool. Venus-Mars are also exactly sextile on Tuesday. Something involving beautifying the home or workspace environment.
MOON/27º Cancer conjunct MARS/27º Cancer 6:03 pm, 9:03 pm
Women are passionate, powerful and active. Some might be even angry. There could be some kind of uproar on the homefront or there can be lots of activity--with Halloween coming up. Moms are busy Sunday Night!
MOON/27º Cancer sextile SATURN/27º Virgo 6:37 pm, 9:37 pm
MOON/27º Cancer Void-of-Course 6:37 pm, 9:37 pm
Get one or two practical things accomplished early on before this hour and then give it a rest. Give yourself permission to do refreshing and restorative things for yourself. Hot tub water therapy?
MOON ENTERS LEO 10:02 pm PDST, 1:02 am EDST
The Sun Rules. Late night, people could want to get out of the house. It’s likely that Performers and Entertainers may get a second wind. Leaders feel good about their accomplishments and may be Shining on the Stage of Life. Those who have a day off tomorrow are definitely enjoying themselves tonight. Our Leo friends need appreciation, attention, applause and affection. When they give that to others, they get it back.

MONDAY OCT 12
Columbus Day - Canadian Thanksgiving
MOON/3º Leo sextile MERCURY/3º Libra 3:43 am, 6:43 am
Late night, people may speak of beauty, love and partnership. Is it praise or flattery? You decide. The Moon’s in Leo and applause is much appreciated.
MARS/27º Cancer sextile SATURN/27º Virgo 1:51 pm, 4:51 pm
With these two in the background, people are likely to work hard physically around the house this holiday Monday. Cleaning up, getting things organized for not just Monday, but for the Fall and Winter ahead. Organizing the home, garden and work environment.
SR JUPITER/17º Aquarius turns Stationary Direct 9:36 pm, 12:36 am
Who feels lucky? Even though Jupiter hangs at 17º all month long. Discoveries, new investment possibilities, even sudden windfalls are now possible. Jupiter first turned Retrograde this past June 15th, for about 4 months. Now, we will be thinking ahead to the Fall holidays.

MONDAY SEPTEMBER 28, 2009
YOM KIPPUR
MOON ENTERS AQUARIUS 4:07 am PDST, 7:07 am EDST
Uranus/Saturn Rule. People feel free, more free than they have all weekend! Ambition has gone out the window. People are thinking of retirement, of shedding the things that clutter up their lives, because the care and maintenance of things takes their time, effort and money. They consider cutting back on their involvement in organizations and the responsibilities therein. Aquarians are non-acquisitive and non-possessive.
Aquarius is about labor-saving devices and inventions. Electronics and science move them and new discoveries excite them.
MOON/6º Aquarius trine SUN/6º Libra 4:13 pm, 7:13 pm
Nice night to relax and enjoy the company of others. People let it all hang out when the Moon’s in Aquarius, they feel loose. The cultural mavens are likely to dish about what hot and what’s not. (Like Fast-Forward on ABC) Have fun.

TUESDAY SEPT 29
Stationary Retrograde Mercury/21º Virgo turns Direct 6:14 am, 9:14 am
Still Stationary through 10/1, this is the peak of Mercury’s Mush-Mind Advisory. Losing or misplacing things is so typical of Mercury Retrograde, and finding things that went missing is typical of Mercury turning Direct. Take your time. Make sure you have everything you need before you head out the door this morning.
MOON/17º Aquarius conjunct R JUPITER/17º Aquarius 3:26 pm, 6:26 pm
People are Excited--about Discoveries. Breakthroughs in Science, Medicine, Technology, even Archaeology are revealed. Expect multiple brainstorms and new ideas! People are spontaneous, even impulsive buyers or overly generous to philanthropic causes. The urge to splurge is really strong. What’s popular may grab us.

WEDNESDAY SEPT 30
MOON/24º Aquarius conjunct R NEPTUNE/24º Aquarius 4:35 am, 7:35 am
MOON/24º Aquarius Void-of-Course 4:35 am, 7:35 am
This morning’s dreams can really move us. Consider this--if we let go of everything when the Moon’s in Aquarius, what are we left with? Clue: we don’t leave this planet with anything other than the people we are inside. Have NO Expectations about Wednesday. The Moon’s Void-of-Course for a good 12 hours. Stick with your usual Wednesday routine, though I’d avoid shopping or starting new projects. Let those ideas simmer till the Moon changes signs.
MOON ENTERS PISCES 4:26 pm PDST, 7:26 pm EDST
Neptune/Jupiter Rule. Our inclination this afternoon/evening is to kick back, whether that’s heading for the local watering hole to change our consciousness or we may be looking for music, so we don’t have to think anymore. If you are really listening and feeling the music, it’s hard to hang onto any thoughts at all. People are looking to dance and move it around, especially if they’ve been in a cubicle all day and mentally exhausted. People let their intuition lead them--or they Ask The Universe, like unemployed 55 year old Terry Herbert of England did over a period of 5 days last July with his 18 year old hobby of metal detecting--”I have this phrase I say sometimes, ‘Spirits of yesteryear take me where the coins appear. But on that day I changed ‘coins’ to ‘gold’ he said, “I don’t know why I said it that day, but I think somebody was listening and directed me to it.” Check out Staffordshire Gold.
MOON/Oº Pisces sextile PLUTO/Oº Capricorn 5:55 pm, 8:55 pm
You might sense someone powerful, or feel for people who are going through or have gone through disasters such as floods, storms, fires or who have experienced financial or physical losses. The Pisces Moon will make us sympathetic listeners, empaths who really do feel other people’s pain.
SD MERCURY/21º Virgo sextile MARS/21º Cancer 11:02 pm, 2:02 am
Ok, Mercury and Mars move together in a 60º angle-- over the next several days. The Pisces Moon activates them on Friday afternoon. Then on Sunday, they are considered exactly sextile again. We are going to be hearing a lot more about women. Don’t know whether you heard Bill Clinton talking about the need to invest in women last weekend Or, caught Bill Moyer’s Journal last Friday on PBS, absolutely brilliant show--one of the clearest about the humanitarian condition in Afghanistan, the lack of drinking water, how war impacts women, illiteracy in that when the majority of the population can’t read, they are stuck with ignorance and superstition, economic pain, which begs the question--what are we really doing there?

THURSDAY OCTOBER 1
What a day for a daydream? Or Maybe not. Pisces Moons could be rainy. We could feel a creative impetus or want to work our imaginations.
MOON/13º Pisces opposite VENUS/13º Virgo 8:08 pm, 11:08 pm
Venus has been making our Virgo friends attractive. They are health-conscious and look good. Because they are hard-working and immensely capable and organized, they might attract people who are not.

FRIDAY OCT 2
MOON/22º Pisces opposite MERCURY/22º Virgo 12:08 pm, 3:08 pm
People could voice some late night criticisms or say thoughtless and inconsiderate things, quite unconsciously, especially as we watch Mercury move up on Saturn and Uranus for the third and final time. Be careful-- Foot-in-Mouth Advisory! Chicago is pulling an all-nighter with continuous coverage of their bid to host the 2016 Olympics, and there is a good chance that Obama’s presence will clinch the deal.
MOON/22º Pisces trine MARS/22º Cancer 12:33 pm, 3:33 pm
There’s lots of activity on the home front, people are making preparations for the weekend. Cleaning, cooking, laundry and getting it together with good music on in the background.
MOON/24º Pisces conjunct R URANUS/24º Pisces 3:02 pm, 6:02 pm
The Aquarian Planet frees us up from the school week and work week. People are spontaneous and excited and may not be paying attention where they are stepping or to traffic. Look out for little kids in the after school hours especially. Here’s the Saturn/Uranus opposition again, upsetting the structures of our lives. Or suddenly giving us hope about work possibilities.
MOON/26º Pisces opposite SATURN/26º Virgo 8:29 pm, 11:29 pm
MOON/26º Pisces Void-of-Course 8:29 pm, 11:29 pm
The oldest and youngest will probably go to bed early tonight, as Saturn will make everyone tired long before this hour. People might even fall asleep at the movies! Be extra careful what you say, as Saturn can make our knee jerk criticisms of others, point to things we may not wish to acknowledge in ourselves! Where’s That coming from? People are likely to voice their worries and fears, don’t “match energy.”
With the nearly Full Moon Void-of-Course in Pisces, Have No Expectations for Friday Night, Enjoy whatever it is that’s happening!

SATURDAY OCT 3
MOON ENTERS ARIES 2:21 am PDST, 5:21 am EDST
Mars/Pluto Rule. Children and young people could have some terrific fresh energy around this hour. Others might wake up and be unable to get back to sleep. Blame it on The Full Moon. Aries is about getting immediate desires met and the more immature part of us wants immediate gratification. Or demands it. You might observe yourself and ask if the 13 year old or the 3 year old, or the 17 year old inside of you is in the driver’s seat, when it comes to getting your way or indulging yourself.
MOON/Oº Aries square PLUTO/Oº Capricorn 3:49 am, 6:49 am
Late Night Fight Club? I’d refuse to be provoked. The Homies in Bo know what I mean. Allow people to be their own phenomenon. You don’t have to manage them or even put them down. Some might have unexpected Encounters with The Law. Late Night DUI/DWI Advisory? NOT The night/morning to question authority, even harsh elders. High school kids in the affluent Chicago suburbs have been OD’ing on a very pure form of heroin. It really shocked me. Friends keep Friends from losing it. Could be a Crisis Morning. Extreme Weather Events? Fires? We all become First Responders, staying calm to react quickly and effectively. You’ll probably hear a lot of stories of people going off on each other. Or trying to “terrorize” Other People, they think are unlike themselves. We may hear more about young men and war.
Saturday’s about Sports and Really Being with the Kids. Having a catch in the backyard, taking a hike/drive for the Fall Color. Many are not going to want to sit still and watch a football game on TV. They aren’t going to want a Secondary Experience, watching Other people do things. They want a Primary One--where we do things ourselves. The fun things we do with our children will last their lifetimes. People are up for Adventure! They want to get out of The Box, they stare at or the one they hold in their hand. Don’t be a sitting addict. Everyone wants to explore some place new!
FULL MOON
MOON/11º 10´ Aries opposite SUN/11º 10´ Libra 11:10 pm, 2:10 am
Partnership is something many will consider tonight with the Full Moon. Consider why you want a relationship. If it is for own needs, think again, if it is to make someone, not yourself, happy by seeing what you can give them, then go for it. The Aries Moon is about I and Thou, Self and Another. Can you imagine yourself as a team going for the same things, or are you mostly seeing the differences? Love is always about what we can give, not what we can get off another person.

SUNDAY OCT 4
MERCURY/23º Virgo sextile MARS/23º Cancer 4:37 am, 7:37 am
Early risers could be writing in their journals, calling, emailing or even blogging about domestic issues. They could be analyzing, strategizing, planning and organizing, very actively. Setting goals and making deadlines for ourselves. Mars/Cancer has been about a lot of action in the immediate environment. Someone Remodeling? Refinancing? Even though these two are in the background of the Aries Moon, Mars Rules.
And Mars in the Moon’s sign and The Moon’s in Mars sign, female athletes and activists even politicians, have the facts.
MOON/17º Aries sextile R JUPITER/17º Aquarius 10:27 am, 1:27 pm
Jupiter gives us a boost, we might just feel validated by discoveries or by teachers or mentors. Praise from a young person is especially meaningful.
Jupiter is going to hang at 17º Aquarius all month. Next week, it’ll turn Stationary Direct on 10/13. We’ll be feeling it much more strongly then. Jupiter/Aquarius has a tendency toward impulse-buying or spontaneous largesse in giving. Figure Money In and Money Out with great rapidity.
MERCURY/23º Virgo opposite R URANUS/23º Pisces 2:06 pm, 5:06 pm
Fender-Bender Advisory? What we say today can go far and wide, like things we put on the internet. And can get distorted. Thoughtless things we say can produce a big reaction. WHO’S Crazy? WHO do you think you are? Another Foot-in-Mouth Advisory? Maybe. What’s Unacceptable or Unhealthy or Disreputable or Just Not Proper may not be so to others.
MARS/23º Cancer trine R URANUS/23º Pisces 6:38 pm, 9:38 pm
People have terrific physical energy tonight. I’m sure you’ll see it on the playing field in Incredible Sports Action. Women feel sexy and so do men.
MOON/23º Aries sextile R NEPTUNE/23º Aquarius 10:36 pm, 1:36 am
Movies, Music, Dancing. Fun. Big Crowds?
MOON/23º Aries square MARS/23º Cancer 10:46 pm, 1:46 am
MOON/23º Aries Void-of-Course 10:46 pm, 1:46 am
Don’t make Mom angry. And try not to get mad at Mom or other women in your immediate environment. Women can really let their feelings out passionately. Remember Loud and Angry Really Scares the Littlest Children. Aries squares-off with its own Ruling Planet, Mars. Don’t underestimate this one coming at the end of a Full Moon Weekend. People might feel frustrated and take it out on women. Nothing gets resolved tonight. Might be a good idea to call a time out and make a plan to talk about it later when you’re calmer and you each can list your major talking points. Even though you may disagree, let people know you still care about them.

MONDAY OCT 5
Don’t forget the Aries Moon is still Void-of-Course this morning, especially if you are an early riser. We’ll feel there’s a change in energy coming on with Aries changing to Taurus, there’s more self-awareness of how we must sound and appear to others.
MOON ENTERS TAURUS 9:33 am PDST, 12:33 pm EDST
Venus Rules. Beauty MOVES us. Our feelings and bodies are our most prized possessions. People want to look and feel the best they can Monday morning. Taurus puts us to how well we use what we’ve been given by parents, opportunities we’ve had that others haven’t, what we’ve experienced, what we’ve learned, and-- what we’ve really earned. We show what we can do.
MOON/Oº Taurus trine PLUTO/Oº Capricorn 11:00 am, 2:00 pm
Ch-ch-ch-changes. We go with the flow. Changes are easier to make now. People could blow off steam at work, and thus lessening tension, but I figure we coast today and tomorrow. We make a point of enjoying the work we do, staying cheerful and positive.

A Guide to The View on The Big Spin

MONDAY SEPTEMBER 21, 2009
The Scorpio Moon continues moving through Scorpio, not making any exact aspects to the planets, but is definitely NOT Void-of-Course.
This morning, people have their agenda of what they want to accomplish, their list of To-Do Items. We’ll power through Monday, with not a lot of “astrological events” but expect that Tuesday will be Very Busy.

TUESDAY SEPT 22
R MERCURY/25º Virgo conjunct SATURN/25º Virgo 2:08 am, 5:08 am
People might bite their tongues or stuff their opinions or criticisms they might feel compelled to fire at others. Mercury/Saturn is about Lying. Lying to cover up, lying based on fear, of being caught, exposed, humiliated and punished. Lying splits the wholeness of the individual. Liars often find themselves on a thin ledge between their public “act” and the inner self, which they generally avoid examining.
MOON/16º Scorpio trine MARS/16º Cancer 4:16 am, 7:16 am
This morning is an excellent time to work on home-related issues, or look at what we don’t need in terms of clutter. It’s a busy and productive start to the day.
MOON/17º Scorpio square R JUPITER/17º Aquarius 6:03 am, 9:03 am
Splurging? Not? Be careful what you buy into. Check out the little ways we indulge ourselves.
AUTUMNAL EQUINOX
SUN ENTERS LIBRA 2:19 pm PDST, 5:19 pm EDST
Happy Birthday to all our Libra friends and neighbors! Venus Rules--and our Libra friends will be enjoying the Fall Social Season, making it their own. Our Libra friends are generally charming and gracious. They don’t like coarse or crude company though and dislike anger or arguments to balanced conversation.
MOON/24º Scorpio square R NEPTUNE/24º Aquarius 5:45 pm, 8:45 pm
Confusion? People who worked hard today, might over-indulge themselves after work.
MOON/24º Scorpio trine R URANUS/24º Pisces 6:12 pm, 9:12 pm
Spontaneity? Might be a nice evening to stay open to meeting new people.
MOON/25º Scorpio sextile R MERCURY/25º Virgo 7:06 pm, 10:06 pm
MOON/25º Scorpio sextile SATURN/25º Virgo 8:32 pm, 11:32 pm
MOON/25º Scorpio Void-of-Course 8:32 pm, 11:32 pm
Scorpio is naturally brilliant at interrogation, getting down to the nitty-gritty, the essence of truth. If you lied early this morning, before you crawled into bed rather late last night, you are probably being grilled. Consider The Source--when it comes to the Healthcare.

WEDNESDAY SEPT 23
MOON ENTERS SAGITTARIUS 4:43 am PDST, 7:43 am EDST
Jupiter Rules. Early morning, we have FRESH energy, maybe even a New Start. People are confident and outgoing, spurred on by their beliefs especially their theories of What’s What. Those who are invested in those beliefs, convictions, opinions and theories, especially about metaphysical beliefs may be convinced they are right, and can be evangelical about their convictions. Teachers Rule when the Moon’s in Saj, they convey their enthusiasm for their subject. Athletes
MOON/Oº Sagittarius sextile SUN/Oº Libra 5:55 am, 8:55 am
People are happy and confident early this morning and get a boost from friends.
SUN/Oº Libra square PLUTO/Oº Capricorn 7:21 am, 10:21 am
Don’t be Road Kill this morning. Stay Alert and in Awareness. (More accidents happen under a Jupiter influence: over-confident and risk-taking, than a cautious Saturn one.) Anyone could be called on to respond to a Life or Death Crisis this morning. Stay calm to think clearly and react effectively. Pluto’s Action is Beyond the control of us mere mortals, yet can impact a lot of us or can signify some kind of encounter with powerful individuals or entities or the law.
While the Saj Moon doesn’t set these two off this morning, the Capricorn Moon will on Friday just before the First Quarter, figure this Sun/Pluto Square in the background this week. Some of us could get messages about our heart’s health from within our own bodies. Libra rules the kidneys,
R MERCURY/24º Virgo opposite R URANUS/24º Pisces 8:37 am, 11:37 am
Quick Reflexes? Close Calls? Stay Alert. We might hear the kind of news that travels fast. Foot-in-Mouth Advisory too! Thoughtless remarks about what’s unclean, unhealthy, improper or insane, or about people with special needs might provoke a HUGE Reaction! WHO’S CRAZY?
MOON/3º Sagittarius square VENUS/3º Virgo 12:14 pm, 3:14 pm
Squares, 90º aspects indicate events more than 60º sextiles or 120º trines. There’s some kind of competition here. Remarks might make us moody, and we could find ourselves disappointed by the expectations we had of people. Some have difficulty in expressing how we really feel. Take some time to validate yourself. Put your center back where it belongs and shake it off. Go with the flow.

THURSDAY SEPT 24
MOON/17º Sagittarius sextile R JUPITER/17º Aquarius 2:55 pm, 5:55 pm
This is a pretty darn good day, as the Saj Moon heads towards making nice with its Ruling Planet, and afterwards, people are outgoing and confident.

FRIDAY SEPT 25
AMERICAN INDIAN DAY
MOON/22º Sagittarius square R MERCURY/22º Virgo 1:30 am, 4:30 am
Late Night disagreements or misunderstandings? Mercury is about to turn Stationary, so listen first, show some empathy.
MOON/24º Sagittarius sextile R NEPTUNE/24º Aquarius 3:35 am, 6:35 am
Sweet dreams. Program your dream life.
MOON/24º Sagittarius square R URANUS/24º Pisces 3:58 am, 6:58 am
Late night or early morning accidents? Or surprises?
MOON/25º Sagittarius square SATURN/25º Virgo 7:15 am, 10:15 am
MOON/25º Sagittarius Void-of-Course 7:15 am, 10:15 am
Something makes us have a Reality Check this morning. Something in the mail? Or in the classroom? Health issues. That great Saj energy, full of possibilities comes to an abrupt halt. A bad grade? A note from the bank? The Saj Moon is Void-of-Course for the rest of the day after this--there’s a much more serious atmosphere. Things we start while the Moon’s Void-of-Course could bring frustration of even, unexpected results.
Stick with your routine Saturday stuff. People want to know what works, what makes money.
MOON ENTERS CAPRICORN 3:19 pm PDST, 6:19 pm EDST
Saturn Rules. Oh, it’s a Capricorn Moon Weekend! While people feel Fresh Energy, it may be time to get ready for old man winter. Raking leaves, finishing bedding down the plants. It could be a working weekend for some, but a fun weekend for others, especially if having fun furthers the ambitions of Capricorn-in-all-of-us, being more than successful materially, being influential and important. Perhaps there are prestigious occasions on your calendar this weekend. Two kinds of Capricorns: those who are forever climbing from success to success or those who keep striving, but never seem to get anywhere.
MOON/Oº Capricorn conjunct PLUTO/Oº Capricorn 4:44 pm, 7:44 pm
Pluto Again. Get Home Safe Friday Night. If you are stuck in traffic behind a bad accident, just be glad it is not you lying there injured. People could feel devastated by news they hear or just feel wiped out after the work week. The markets, corporations, institutions and governments could experience losses. If you are out on the Playing Field this afternoon, just remember that Capricorn rules the knees. Older athletes need to warm up throughly. Consider checking in on older family, friends and neighbors.
FIRST QUARTER
MOON/3º 15´ Capricorn square SUN/3º 15´ Libra 9:50 pm, 12:50 am
Someone could PUSH to go out and socialize, to party for awhile and forget about problems and the week; others could push to get in some quiet time to concentrate on projects or hobbies or making money this weekend.

SATURDAY SEPT 26
MOON/7º Capricorn trine VENUS/7º Virgo 6:01 am, 9:01 am
Earthy love? Some of us have salon appointments. People will feel good about a little extra primping early this morning to be a little extra attractive. A little more workout?
Capricorn seems to stay young longer than their contemporaries... beauty is work.
It’s likely people will be working on Saturday, doing garage sales, or working a second job, selling at flea markets or at Sports Events.
Remember that Saturn Rules and it is still facing off with Uranus-- just be aware of curveballs from the unconscious, those spontaneous impulses to say or do things that could put your foot in your mouth.

SUNDAY SEPT 27
MOON/19º Capricorn opposite MARS/19º Cancer 7:24 am, 10:24 am
Don’t Make Mom Angry this morning! Women could vent their feelings or frustration.
Listening with complete attention is often disarming. Pitch in with chores around the house today. If see something that needs to be done, do it.
MOON/21º Capricorn trine SR MERCURY/21º Virgo 11:35 am, 2:35 pm
Mercury hangs at 21º Virgo through 10/1, turning Direct 9/30. During this Stationary period, people may feel overwhelmed mentally with too many details, or could waste time worrying instead of getting busy on the things they can do. People could be forgetful and lose track of dates, bills, keys. Losing things (or suddenly finding lost items) is typical. Figure a Mush-Mind Advisory till 10/1. Mercury will go back over the same airspace it covered this week again, interacting with the Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto when it later re-enters Libra. Today, older people could give good advice.
MOON/24º Capricorn sextile R URANUS/24º Pisces 4:21 pm, 7:21 pm
Meeting New people? Someone unusual? Could be some kind of disruption, that’s welcome.
MOON/26º Capricorn trine SATURN/26º Virgo 8:33 pm, 11:33 pm
MOON/26º Capricorn Void-of-Course 8:33 pm, 11:33 pm
Not much going on after this hour, people could do one or two practical routine things before the upcoming work week. Could be a lot of frustration in the air. Time to give it a rest. Go to bed early.

MONDAY SEPT 28
YOM KIPPUR
MOON ENTERS AQUARIUS 4:07 am PDST, 7:07 am EDST
Uranus/Saturn Rule. People feel free, more free than they have all weekend! Ambition has gone out the window. People are thinking of retirement, of shedding the things that clutter up their lives, because the care and maintenance of things takes their time, effort and money. They consider cutting back on their involvement in organizations and the responsibilities therein. Aquarians are non-acquisitive and non-possessive.
Aquarius is about labor-saving devices and inventions. Electronics and science move them and new discoveries excite them.
MOON/6º Aquarius trine SUN/6º Libra 4:13 pm, 7:13 pm
Nice night to relax and enjoy the company of others. People let it all hang out when the Moon’s in Aquarius, they feel loose. The cultural mavens are likely to dish about what hot and what’s not. Have fun.

MONDAY SEPTEMBER 14, 2009
MOON/24º Cancer sextile SUN/21º Virgo 1:50 am, 4:50 am
Late night, there might be some time for reflection.
MOON/24º Cancer sextile SATURN/24º Virgo 6:41 am, 9:41 am
MOON/24º Cancer trine R URANUS/24º Pisces 6:57 am, 9:57 am
MOON/24º Cancer Void-of-Course 6:57 am, 9:57 am
This morning, the Moon sets off tomorrow’s exact Saturn/Uranus opposition in a good way. Early risers may start their day ready to start the work week, doing what they must, while staying open to meeting new people. Mom may decide that health problems have gone on too long and decide to seek help, before a crisis. The Virgo Sun will move up to this opposition 9/17.
The Cancer Moon is Void-of-Course, pretty much during the entire work day, so have NO Expectations. Forget about major shopping or starting new projects today. Stick with routine and routine purchases. Work towards finishing things on the home front and getting homework out of the way early!
MOON ENTERS LEO 3:39 pm, PDST, 6:39 pm EDST
The Sun Rules. Big Change in energy! We are ready to shine! Monday afternoon and evening are terrific. I believe The New TV Season starts tonight in the US and people are excited about New Entertainment! Our Leo friends are likely to enjoy this energy burst, but probably would do well to hold some of it back in reserve, conserving their energy as we head for the New Moon on Friday. Seems like the Fall Season will be as busy as the Summer was. The Leo in all of us makes giving attention to everyone important, praising and applauding others with a generous spirit.
MOON/3º Leo sextile R MERCURY/3º Libra 8:22 pm, 11:22 pm
Are we schmoozing? Gossiping? Flattering? Talking up possibilities and personalities?

TUESDAY SEPT 15
SATURN/24º Virgo opposite R URANUS/24º Pisces 5:50 am, 8:50 am
This opposition causes tension all this week on through the New Moon on Friday.
Saturn in Earthy Virgo represents our Reality, the Structures in our lives. Uranus in watery Neptune-Jupiter Ruled Pisces indicates Unexpected Realizations, Emotional Upheavals, Secret Revelations, that disrupt those structures of our lives. Structures can meaning housing, but also work and marriage and family, even the health we count on, that makes our lives more secure and enable us to do what we do.
While the Virgo Sun and later the Virgo New Moon will interact with this opposition later on this week. And Retrograde Mercury/Virgo next week. We may think we have our feelings (Moon) and self (Sun) in control in acceptable or conforming pattern, then along comes Surprises, Sudden Changes, Upsets--to that order. People might reach the breaking point with the same old routine or always getting stuck with the work, or having one’s feelings ignored.
Saturn will make us cautious--and Uranus just keeps coming up with sudden curve-balls. Foot-in-Mouth Advisory? Sudden loss or sudden departures? Maybe even an early earthquake season? Hope those fires have died down in the west! Watch out for minus tides that can shift suddenly and come roaring in, pushing the unsuspecting up against the cliffs--let’s look out for each other this week, People!
VENUS/24º Leo opposite R NEPTUNE/24º Aquarius 2:37 pm, 5:37 pm
Is Tuesday Night an Important Occasion? Do we have celebrity sightings? Are we falling-in-love or infatuated with glamourous, well-known personalities? Glued to the TV? Does someone bring down the house with a huge memorable performance?
MOON/18º Leo opposite R JUPITER/18º Aquarius 9:50 pm, 12:50 am
People feel Great! They are confident and happy, and feel lucky tonight! People might spend a little coin on new movies, splurge on giving KQED or WTTW a generous gift, or giving to worthy causes.

WEDNESDAY SEPT 16
MOON/24º Leo opposite R NEPTUNE/24º Aquarius 7:37 am, 10:37 am
MOON/25º Leo conjunct VENUS/25º Leo 9:11 am, 12:11 pm
MOON/25º Leo Void-of-Course 9:11 am, 12:11 pm
Early Wednesday Morning--The Moon conjoins the Venus/Neptune opposition. People are talking about a wonderful new lover, even singing about a new love interest or singing the praises of a new TV show, song, band, movie, celebrity with archetypal looks, even early morning performances?
But after this hour-- we might just intuit that it’s time to leave center stage. What a great way for Venus to exit Leo! The Moon Void-of-Course after this hour till the end of the work day. So have No Expectations. You might consider Venus too is Void-of-Course, as she makes no aspects to other planets till she enters Virgo on Sunday.
It may be instinctive to know it’s time to be modest and not push yourself forward today, but to applaud and encourage the contributions others make. Some may still be acting out for attention and not getting the response they thought they’d get, but a negative reaction.
MOON ENTERS VIRGO 4:56 pm PDST, 7:56 pm EDST
Mercury Rules--and Virgo analyzes. The Virgo in all of us figures out what’s needed and gets it done! Amazingly, we are re-energized after work, and might just have the need to bring order to our surroundings. We get busy cleaning house, doing laundry, getting ourselves organized with an eye toward the weekend. Great night to really get into homework, even research projects and assignments, because of the fresh energy and drive we feel. Good night for a healthy workout too!
MOON/Oº Virgo trine SD PLUTO/Oº Capricorn 6:01 pm, 9:01 pm
Virgo’s generally respond well in a crisis. This evening, some might consider radical career choices or dramatic changes in doing business or at work. Some could encounter powerful people or take money-making risks that involve wrong, underhanded, illegal, even criminal acts. Like theft. Others could have encounters with The Law. Chances are, whatever Pluto indicates, we’d best deal with it quickly and efficiently and move on with our productive evening.

THURSDAY SEPT 17
SUN/24º Virgo opposite R URANUS/24º Pisces 2:42 am, 5:42 am
Today, the Sun moves exactly into the Saturn/Uranus opposition, we’ve been watching for some time. Some of us could do serious injury to our health late night. Or, make the wrong decisions that mess us up. Please don’t let friends drive impaired. Stop inhaling crud-- if your lungs are inflamed or you feel low energy or your immunity to illness is low. Avoid sharing with the people that have a long running “cold” or ongoing low-grade infection that you don’t need!
R MERCURY/Oº Libra square SD PLUTO/Oº Capricorn 4:50 am, 7:50 am
Don’t You Be Road Kill! This is the 2nd pass Mercury makes to Pluto. (The 1st was 8/26 and the third and last will be 10/10.) Things people say may be provocative or shocking and they can produce a powerful reaction early this morning. People who are charming and courteous in general can say mean, catty, negative, hostile or slanderous things. We’re likely to hear another round of Political Smears, for which political operatives are -- justly infamous, and which could have a quality of rebounding back on them. We may hear of disasters--catastrophes--crisis--in institutions, corporations and governments.
SUN/24º Virgo conjunct SATURN/24º Virgo 11:22 am, 2:22 pm
Life just seems hard for everyone today. People are going to feel low energy, maybe even depressed. This will--change. (Probably after the New Moon) Protect yourself and others. Stay Healthy. People don’t listen to their bodies like they should, when their body screams it needs Vitamin C or Exercise. People also can Lie to themselves and others about the real state of their health.
MOON/14º Virgo sextile MARS/14º Cancer 4:21 pm, 7:21 pm
The Dr. Mom in all of us gets energized. Women are active exchanging information about what they need to do to get well quickly and stay healthy yourself, when people in your family or immediate environment get sick.
My Mom is lately onto cayenne pepper and warm honey, stirred together that can be scooped up in a tablespoon and held, not swallowed, in the mouth till it slowly melts. A throat-coat and it opens up the lungs. Powdered ginger and honey the same way was a mainstay during flu season. The Lithuanians drank strong ginger tea in the winter and of course, chewing fresh garlic was the poor man’s antibiotic.
RETROGRADE MERCURY re-enters Virgo at 29º 8:26 pm, 11:26 pm
Well, Mercury is--back in its earthy home airspace. Mercury/Virgo is analytical and detail-oriented. And yes, it also will interact with the Saturn/Uranus opposition. Stay focused and know where your keys, your calendar and your address book are! So you can Be There!

FRIDAY SEPT 18
MOON/24º Virgo opposite R URANUS/24º 36´ Pisces 9:25 am, 12:25 pm
This morning news we hear could shock us. Expect unexpected changes. People call in sick. People could get fired.
MOON/25º Virgo conjunct SATURN/25º 05´ Virgo 10:17 am, 1:17 pm
This could be a real low point for not only our Virgo friends, but everyone. People may feel Exhaustion. Even tired and complaining attitudes are contagious and can bring down the atmosphere. People can make things harder than they need to be.
(Two years ago, I got the full catastrophe flu right around this time of year, that laid me up for 4 weeks, so I completely missed the last of Indian Summer.)
People may be overly cautious and fearful on health issues, but some can lie to themselves and say those long time unhealthy habits haven’t hurt them. Or have trouble admitting that they already have done injury to themselves and others with those habits. Criticism, like the truth, hurts. Be careful, as Saturn works on the unconscious, pointing out faults in others that we aren’t acknowledging in ourselves!
NEW MOON
MOON/25º 59´ Virgo conjunct SUN/25º 59´ Virgo 11:44 am, 2:44 pm
All this is Mighty Close to the New Moon, when our energy is generally low! If you are sick, go home and stay home. People will be conserving their energy. Check on young students to see how well they are coping. Some might feel overwhelmed by their course work and discouraged at the amount of homework and assignments, they are getting.
MOON/29º Virgo conjunct R MERCURY/29º Virgo 4:56 pm, 7:56 pm
MOON/29º Virgo Void-of-Course 4:56 pm, 7:56 pm
Get Home Safe. Pay attention to the road and don’t let talking interfere with the driving. Be careful what you say when you are tired. Do whatever you have to do to refresh and restore yourself, like one or two healthy things. Vitamins? A cat nap? A brisk walk to shake off the work week? A work-out at the gym? Wait till the Moon changes signs to shop or start new things. Stick with routine.
MOON ENTERS LIBRA 6:26 pm PDST, 9:26 pm EDST
Venus Rules. We look towards the western horizon at sunset to catch the barest sliver of Crescent Moon. That smile in the sky--that says the dark time is over, will we see it?
Or will we feel the Dark Period is continuing tonight? People want to dress up and go out and enjoy meeting old friends and making new ones at social events. People are looking for long term relationships, but pay attention to how you really feel.
MOON/Oº Libra square SD PLUTO/Oº Capricorn 7:34 pm, 10:34 pm
Another Crisis? While Moon/Libra indicates concern with partners and friends during this period, it can also indicate concern with competitors and opponents. Stationary Pluto here, even though Direct is still powerful. We may hear of business bankruptcies or job losses or sudden departures that impact our friends. Give a thought to checking on elderly family, friends and neighbors. Don’t be surprised if people cancel attending social events because of illness. Libras might stay away from people with anger problems or people who are having a hard time coping.

SATURDAY SEPT 19
We enjoy Saturday and make a point of looking good and feeling good about ourselves. Libra does complete the first six signs and we present ourselves to the world. This is who we are at our best. Do we act-- to attract--long term love interests. People are likely to practice kindness, so kindness will become an integral part of their nature, part of who and what we really are!
MOON/15º Libra square MARS/15º Cancer 8:45 pm, 11:45 pm
Around this hour, upsets in the immediate environment or a lot of action going on at home. Possible angry confrontations between one’s family members and those who married into the family, between community residents and outsiders? Someone might be mistakenly perceived as a threat and told to back off? Get past it. Enjoy your Saturday Night!

SUNDAY SEPT 20
MOON/18º Libra trine R JUPITER/18º Aquarius 12:59 am, 3:59 am
Late night people are hopeful, optimistic and confident.
SUN/27º Virgo conjunct R MERCURY/27º Virgo 3:05 am, 6:05 am
Today, Virgos especially may want to define themselves to themselves or to others, by writing in journals or letters, but many of us may want to voice or define our needs, our hopes, our concerns, especially about health issues.
VENUS ENTERS VIRGO 6:32 am PDST, 9:32 am EDST
I think of someone like Audrey Hepburn who used her celebrity to get people to think about all the children that UNICEF serves all over the world. Venus here can make our Virgo friends very attractive, because they are capable, hard-working and together. They might attract needy or weak people who want to be “saved” or taken care of. Like Venus/Gemini, with Venus/Virgo, the mind has override capacity over the heart. Think of health care workers who can be kind and show concern in an impersonal way. The emotional side of their nature can best be channeled through selfless service to causes with which they identify and to intellectual endeavors like research. While they can spot imperfections in others, voicing criticism can exacerbate those same tendencies in others. Stuffing their opinions can cause digestive problems, as they hold their tension in the guts. They are often overly concerned about their reputations.
MOON/24º Libra trine R NEPTUNE/24º Aquarius 11:44 am, 2:44 pm
MOON/24º Libra Void-of-Course 11:44 am, 2:44 pm
Gatherings meant to be inclusive, might just break up into cliques or you may notice people seeking greater intimacy with special friends. It’s time to put your center back on yourself, instead of on other people! Have No Expectations until the Moon changes signs. I’d absolutely avoid shopping this Football Sunday. People might be dissatisfied with their purchases or with any new projects they start. Make a point of enjoying what it is. Whatever Forever, as our friend Magda says.
VENUS/Oº Virgo trine SD PLUTO/Oº Capricorn 7:56 pm, 10:56 pm
There’s a powerful sexual attraction, but there could be something underhanded, something unsaid that someone wants, which may become clearer after the Moon enters Scorpio. Not a good idea while the Libra Moon is Void-of-Course. Bosses might come on sexually to their secretaries or employees.
MOON ENTERS SCORPIO 9:52 pm PDST, 12:52 am EDST
Mars/Pluto Rule. Pluto especially. Our Scorpio friends have enormous Personal Intent which borders on the shamanic. Think of TV’s ‘The Mentalist.’ Astute psychologists, they are able to perceive the intentions of others, but especially how strong and lasting their will power is to carry out those intentions. Scorpios can find ways to use people for their own advantage or can help people find a niche where they can flourish. You’re Sooo Psychic! Over the next couple of days, people will get specific about What Matters and What Doesn’t. What’s taking up space or what has out-lived its usefulness. We will be attracted to mysteries and puzzles, to doing research to satisfy our curiosity and getting down to the Nitty-Gritty.
MOON/Oº Scorpio sextile SD PLUTO/Oº Capricorn 11:04 pm, 2:04 am
MOON/Oº Scorpio sextile VENUS/Oº Virgo 11:23 pm, 2:23 am,
Secret Liaisons? Could be-- you discover that all the cards are not on the table. Don’t be surprised if you think you are using someone and wind up feeling used.

MONDAY SEPT 21
The Scorpio Moon continues moving through Scorpio, not making any exact aspects to the planets, but is definitely NOT Void-of-Course.
This morning, people have their agenda of what they want to accomplish, their list of To-Do Items. We’ll power through Monday, with not a lot of “astrological events” but expect that Tuesday will be Very Busy.

MONDAY SEPTEMBER 7, 2009
LABOR DAY
MOON/19º Aries sextile R JUPITER/19º Aquarius 7:17 am, 10:17 am
People are Upbeat, Up Early to getting that line of Grills Going and Be Ready to be Playing Music and Dancing In The Streets in My Favorite Town. Young people could
surprise everyone by being creatively enterprising today, sharing their discoveries with others. Advertise themselves by putting their work in Silent Auctions for a good cause for instance.
MOON/24º Aries sextile R NEPTUNE/24º Aquarius 5:13 pm, 8:13 pm
MOON/24º Aries Void-of-Course 5:13 pm, 8:13 pm
A lot of people will call it a day around this hour. There will be a lot of people still out and about wanting to make something more happen. You might hear the more immature children whine, “Is that ALL? I want MORE!” We can feel the yang energy of Aries doing a fast fade.

TUESDAY SEPT 8
MOON ENTERS TAURUS 3:18 am PDST, 6:18 am EDST
Venus Rules. People could be on it from early morning. This is “Monday Morning” for a lot of people. The Taurus-in-all-of-us is a reliable and steady worker, who can earn a lot of money. What we make of ourselves-- using what parentage, opportunities and fate has given us is what Taurus is about. It would be good to remember that a person’s worth is not necessarily all material success or being a status-seeking Big Somebody! After all, we exit this planet with nothing but the kind of people we really are inside. Beauty MOVES us when the Moon’s in Taurus! And the attractiveness of our own bodies, and our feelings are important to us.
MOON/Oº Taurus trine SR PLUTO/Oº Capricorn 4:30 am, 7:30 am
Stationary Retrograde Pluto turns Direct on Friday, so let’s not underestimate the power of Pluto this week, even in good aspect. (I’m still thinking of those out-of-control fires in California, as I write this 9/1.) Pluto’s action is beyond the control of individuals, impacting many people. Could be some of us have to deal with a morning crisis or dramatic changes. I would NOT call in sick to work this morning, unless I really was sick and going to the doctor, at the risk of being fired! Expect a day in which we can accomplish a lot if we stick to it.
MOON/8º Taurus sextile MARS/8º Cancer 7:38 pm, 10:38 pm
Tonight, there’s lots of activity on the home front, which might not make for a relaxing atmosphere. Our Cancer Homegirls are energized by Mars, homeguys too! A lot of them are Feeling Sexy. Some can be quite assertive.

WEDNESDAY SEPT 9
MOON/16º Taurus square VENUS/16º Leo 9:48 am, 12:48 pm
The Taurus Ruling Planet is not in good aspect to the Moon. There’s could be some competition, even jealousy. Disagreements or disappointments in personal relations? Pay attention to how others make you really feel. There’s Only One YOU, so stop making comparisons between yourself and others. The Taurus-in-all-of-us might do well to imagine how a new love interest would fit in with family, friends and the creature comforts he or she enjoys.
MOON/16º Taurus trine SUN/16º Virgo 10:25 am, 1:25 pm
People find their pace, working steadily through the day and show their skill at being efficient, capable and effective.
MOON/18º Taurus square R JUPITER/18º Aquarius 1:35 pm, 4:35 pm
What are we overdoing? Impulse buying? Over-Indulging ourselves? Splurging?
MOON/24º Taurus trine SATURN/24º Virgo 10:44 pm, 1:44 am
Don’t stay up late worrying. Get one or two practical things out of the way this evening and go to bed.
MOON/24º Taurus square R NEPTUNE/24º Aquarius 11:28 pm, 2:28 am
Doubt? Confusion? Taurus is not impressed by dubious achievements or dubious drugs and drinking. DUI Advisory.

THURSDAY SEPT 10
MOON/24º Taurus sextile R URANUS/24º Pisces 12:17 am, 3:17 am
MOON/24º Taurus Void-of-Course 12:17 am, 3:17 am
Some could wake up suddenly. Noise? Loud Music? Have no expectations till the Moon changes signs. Go with the flow.
MOON ENTERS GEMINI 9:17 am PDST, 12:17 pm EDST
Mercury Rules. Fresh energy to get on the road and get moving. We could have lots of emails and phone calls, meetings and errands. People are busy! Expect non-stop talking. News grabs us.
MOON/5º Gemini trine R MERCURY/5º Libra 6:50 pm, 9:50 pm
Good communication, lively banter, witty conversation make Thursday evening a great night for a potluck or getting together with friends. Or going out to meet new and different people! Gemini loves a wide variety of people, loves crowds, big parties with lots of interesting people to meet.

FRIDAY SEPT 11
VENUS/18º Leo opposite R JUPITER/18º Aquarius 12: 54 am, 3:54 am
Dieter’s Advisory. People could overdo the eating and drinking this week. People could also shop for larger sizes or more expensive regal attire for the fall social season.
SR PLUTO/Oº Capricorn turns Stationary Direct 9:55 am, 12:55 pm
We’ll probably feel Pluto in the background ALL week, as stress and apprehension. People, like Dick Cheney, are likely to fear-monger behind the 9/11 anniversary. Yet, there are entities that don’t wish this Cancer-Nation well, as recent cyber-attacks on computer systems have shown. Major Institutions, Corporations, Governmental Agencies could go through dramatic changes, as could the way people view the reliability and efficacy of big banks, big governmental institutions and big corporate entities. Big is not always good. ‘The bigger they come, the harder the fall,’ as Jimmy Cliff sang so eloquently. More losses on Wall Street? Commercial properties foreclosures? The total financial losses from the devastating fires in California have a huge impact on so many.
People could also be aware of police crackdowns and large scale law enforcement operations, as well as, military offensives. Expect indictments and verdicts from the courts, harsh sentencing or repressive laws or to hear of repressive and brutal regimes even revolutions or falls from power.
MOON/18º Gemini trine R JUPITER/18º Aquarius 5:58 pm, 8:58 pm
People are excited by new possibilities and opportunities, by new discoveries in science and medicine especially. People could find deals and bargains.
LAST QUARTER
MOON/18º Gemini square SUN/18º Virgo 7:16 pm, 10:16 pm
Bickering Advisory? Who’s feeling PUSHED and who’s pushing to get their way. People also might push to wind down and chill out, but may have to deal with people and their problems and concerns, before they can relax.
MOON/19º Gemini sextile VENUS/19º Leo 7:43 pm, 10:43 pm
Gemini loves checking out the field and seeing who is attractive or brilliant or popular. Their charming good manners often add them to many a guest list.

SATURDAY SEPT 12
MOON/24º Gemini square SATURN/24º Virgo 3:38 am, 6:38 am
Hope you have had a good night of sleep. Early risers might find themselves feeling groggy, even disagreeable in the early hours. Be careful what you say this morning. Stuffing criticism might be a good idea, as the things our subconscious minds point out with a strong negative reaction--might be the very things we fail to acknowledge as faults of our own! Saturn’s also about fear and lying to cover up that fear.
While the Gemini Moon makes a T-square to the Saturn/Uranus opposition. Notice that Neptune at 24º Aquarius is also in the mix: it’s 30º from Uranus and 130º from Saturn. It’s called the “finger of fate” Neptune and Uranus (mass imagination and mass transformation) are in each other’s signs--and they are pointing at Saturn/Virgo. If anything says, Healthcare Plan, Rules, Systems, it’s Saturn/Virgo and I hope they get it done soon!
MOON/24º Gemini trine R NEPTUNE/24º Aquarius 3:46 am, 6:46 am
Late Night or Early Morning Jam sessions? People could be moved by their dreams to get creative and use their talent and use their imaginations.
MOON/24º Gemini square R URANUS/24º Pisces 4:30 am, 7:30 am
MOON/24º Gemini Void-of-Course 4:30 am, 7:30 am
Accident Advisory? Early morning Excitement or Distractions could make us accident-prone. Watch your step on the way to the bathroom! No foot injuries or twisted ankles! Many of us will feel talked-out or tired Saturday morning, hungering for deep and meaningful conversation rather than superficial small talk. Wait till the Moon changes signs to start new things.
MOON ENTERS CANCER 1:20 pm PDST, 4:20 pm EDST
The Moon Rules. We might just feel some Fresh Energy at this hour. While some of us may want to tackle projects on the home front, like cleaning house or getting the garden ready for a new cycle or just getting time for yourself to reflect, there may be changes to those plans.
MOON/Oº Cancer opposite SD PLUTO/Oº Capricorn 2:27 pm, 5:27 pm
Pluto Again! It’s the Waning Moon now facing off with it. Sudden Accidents? Sudden departures? Unexpected losses or upheavals impacting home, family, immediate environment or work?
MOON/4º Cancer square R MERCURY/4º Libra 8:41 pm, 11:41 pm
Disagreements between what friends, spouses, partners, even competitors say and-- what family and people in the immediate environment say. I would NOT criticize even mildly the relations of Cancer, you might start WWIII. (Retrograding Mercury will be squaring off with Pluto again soon, so stay aware that people can tend to say really hurtful things!) People could be exhausted by incessant talking. Call Time Out and Sleep on it.

SUNDAY SEPT 13
MOON/11º Cancer conjunct MARS/11º Cancer 9:10 am, 12:10 pm
Could be another Uproar! People might tend to voice their feelings loudly or angrily. Consider people on the receiving end, who feel this loud expression like being physically whacked! Tone it down. While Mars can energize our Cancer Home girls and Cancer Home guys, it does not make for a tranquil atmosphere on the home front. It’s the start of the New Football Season. While the guys are glued to the tube, women are likely to be going places this Sunday. Home field advantage?

MONDAY SEPT 14
MOON/24º Cancer sextile SUN/21º Virgo 1:50 am, 4:50 am
Late night, there might be some time for reflection.
MOON/24º Cancer sextile SATURN/24º Virgo 6:41 am, 9:41 am
MOON/24º Cancer trine R URANUS/24º Pisces 6:57 am, 9:57 am
MOON/24º Cancer Void-of-Course 6:57 am, 9:57 am
This morning, the Moon sets off tomorrow’s exact Saturn/Uranus opposition in a good way. Early risers may start their day ready to start the work week, doing what they must, while staying open to meeting new people. Mom may decide that health problems have gone on too long and decide to seek help, before a crisis. The Virgo Sun will move up to this opposition 9/17.
The Cancer Moon is Void-of-Course, pretty much during the entire work day, so have NO Expectations. Forget about major shopping or starting new projects today. Stick with routine and routine purchases. Work towards finishing things on the home front and getting homework out of the way early!
MOON ENTERS LEO 3:39 pm, PDST, 6:39 pm EDST
The Sun Rules. Big Change in energy! We are ready to shine! Monday afternoon and evening are terrific. I believe The New TV Season starts tonight in the US and people are excited about New Entertainment! Our Leo friends are likely to enjoy this energy burst, but probably would do well to hold some of it back in reserve, conserving their energy as we head for the New Moon on Friday.
MOON/3º Leo sextile R MERCURY/3º Libra 8:22 pm, 11:22 pm
Are we schmoozing? Gossiping? More Later!

MONDAY AUGUST 31, 2009
MOON/22º Capricorn trine SATURN/22º Virgo 6:12 am, 9:12 am
Work. We show what we’ve accomplished this past weekend. We own our own information. If we’ve spent the weekend preparing for Monday, practicing to show off our skills, or to close a deal or to finish a job. Or be Very Ready to start one.
MOON/25º Capricorn sextile R URANUS/25º Pisces 11:09 am, 2:09 pm
MOON/25º Capricorn Void-of-Course 11:09 am, 2:09 pm
People can suggest changes. Might be wise not to start anything new until the Moon changes signs and avoid frustration, mistakes and unintended results.
This afternoon--people are thinking of what they’re going to do when they get home. They’re thinking of a time of old age, of retirement or not being able to retire. People are thinking of Letting Go. Everyone wants to Lighten Up, to have less stuff to maintain and to spend less time, effort and expense in maintaining their stuff, especially as we grow older.
Let me mention that Saturn/Uranus are moving into opposition by 9/15. The Virgo Sun will join that opposition on 9/17. Things we organize, can fall into disarray rather quickly, don’t get upset. Go with the flow. There may be many more What’s Healthy or UnHealthy discussions. Also Civil and Uncivil discussions, Shocking and Disruptive or Deliberate. So, over the next two weeks, we’ll be seeing Saturn/Uranus over and over, before Saturn finally leaves Virgo on 10/29.
Labor-Saving Efforts will be considered as well as what it will take for society to change the environment to implement New Inventions and Energy Solutions.
Do we need to reinvent the discussion on pollution and waste, rather than recycling and conservation, and giving away useable items in a potlatch spirit. My West Coast Homies would be amazed at what people casually throw away here in the Midwest! Not to mention the littering!
MOON ENTERS AQUARIUS 8:43 PDST, 11:43 EDST
Uranus/Saturn Rule. People get loose tonight. Do we celebrate? Do we free enough to be goofy, to let it all hang out? We got through a difficult Monday afternoon! Hooray! Pencil in some late night fun. Just to shake off all the ambitiousness of Capricorn.
Over the next two days, the Aquarius Moon will inspire us to free ourselves up. Dealing with too much stuff takes time, effort and money for its care and maintenance. The Aquarius in us would rather not possess more than we can actually care for.

TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 1
MOON/4º Aquarius trine SD MERCURY/4º Libra 6:22 am, 9:22 am
People are likely to be talking about their discoveries and what really excites them. Most likely, The Latest thing. What’s Popular may not be Hip, known only to the cognoscenti or insiders. Careful talking away good money-making ideas, even scientific, medical, even archaeological discoveries. Or buying into somebody else’s false negativity. What’s Under THAT?
MOON/6º Aquarius opposite VENUS/6º Leo 11:28 am, 2:28 pm
Venus gathers people around her, while the Aquarius Moon distributes power, money, know how, even authority. Venus even can draw in non-conformists or rebels like Aquarius.

WEDNESDAY SEPT 2
MOON/19º Aquarius conjunct R JUPITER /19º Aquarius 12:26 pm, 3:26 pm
People go High with Expectations--”Sweepstakes ticket you’re so clean, won’t you help me make the scene?” Greg Shindell’s lyric jumps to my mind with Jupiter/Neptune.
Vast Numbers of People dreaming of MegaMillions. Very few discovering or working hard to create something to get there, More into scamming or skimming or scheming.
Counting your chickens before they hatch. Some of us could be thinking ahead to Christmas, when Jupiter/Neptune will both be conjunct.
MOON/24º Aquarius conjunct R NEPTUNE/24º Aquarius 10:20 pm, 1:20 am
MOON/24º Aquarius Void-of-Course 10:20 pm, 1:20 am
Music MOVES us. Some could be seduced by Glamourous types in the late night hours who provoke those alcoholic over-indulgences or that drug use that could make people wonder why they would ever think these people are real friends, because the downer hangover and brain dead aftereffects. Who do you really trust? DUI Advisory tonight. Get Home Safe. Walking home is a nice way to end the evening in Our Favorite Town, scoping out the starry night. There could be some disillusionment. Or confusion. Or not. Your call.

THURSDAY SEPT 3
MOON ENTERS PISCES 8:58 am PDST, 11:58 am EDST
Neptune/Jupiter Rule. Pisces do have a knack for Going With The Flow. They can be especially sensitive to discord which seems pointless, or monotonous noise or feel liberated by beautiful music. They can magnetically resonate with people, reflect others emotionally by “matching energy,” often to the extent of “losing seniority in their own space,” as Berkeley Psychic Institute puts it so nicely. Many Actors are Pisces, who become the role they’re playing especially in film. Dancers too. Musicians that find the joy. Even cooks can make their work a dance.
SD MERCURY/5º Libra square MARS/5º Cancer 9:19 am, 12:19 pm
In the background of the Pisces Moon, People on the Home Front, family, neighbors, community and-- Friends, Partners, People who married into a family, even business competitors or rivals. Fight Club? People can be quite contentious about the way to do things. You may need to appease people on both sides of this argument.
MOON/Oº Pisces sextile R PLUTO/Oº Capricorn 10:18 am, 1:18 pm
There’s a transformation. Does someone say, ‘Enough Already’? We can’t think clearly or communicate effectively or do what we must do, if we are angry. Stop it. Let’s go
with the flow.
MOON/5º Pisces trine MARS/5º Cancer 8:39 pm, 11:39 pm
Tonight, sympathetic listening furthers and empathetic understanding of the real feelings of folks on the home front. Hurt and Angry Women especially, could need to acknowledge how they really feel in a safe environment. The recent Mars/Pluto opposition affected jobs and households. Mars/Cancer makes for Upheaval, Lots of Action, even Warfare on the home front till Mid-October.

FRIDAY SEPT 4
FULL MOON
MOON/12º 15´ Pisces opposite SUN/12º 15´ Virgo 9:03 am, 12:03 pm
This Full Moon sets at dawn in Pisces beyond the sight of the West Coast when it peaks in its fullness. Friday will be fabulous. Lots of people will be thinking of getting away from it all and will be heading out early for their Labor Day Weekend. People are sure to party tonight!

SATURDAY SEPT 5
MOON/23º Pisces opposite SATURN/23º Virgo 6:46 am, 9:46 am
Could be hard to get out of bed this morning. Be cheerful today in handling responsibilities and obligations. Beware of Making Criticisms of Anyone today. Or Blaming Others for Anything. Pay attention to what your subconscious is sending up and how unkind remarks are perceived by others. There are things we’d like to accomplish and organize this morning, but that’s not going to happen.
MOON/25º Pisces conjunct R URANUS/25º Pisces 9:53 am, 12:53 pm
MOON/25º Pisces Void-of-Course (V/C) 9:53 am, 12:53 pm
Sudden Changes! Slow down, don’t be in a rush to twist your ankle or have some kind of foot injury. Unusual people could be disruptive. With the Pisces Moon V/C, Have No Expectations till Evening. Nothing will be going on. Use this Saturday for rest, reflection and to do restorative, healing things and get away to get with yourself today. People will be very active tonight.
MOON ENTERS ARIES 7:14 pm PDST, 10:14 pm EDST
Mars/Pluto Rule. The Party really gets started. Young people have nonstop energy! Youth Rules--and you’ll hear them saying, I WANT IT All NOW! Children’s desires could demand immediate gratification. Their Desires Are Everything to them. They want Action and Adventure! To be Doing Something! People are excited about the new sports season, the fall social activities, new things, new people. They are competitive.
For those of us, who are somewhat over-the-hill, feeling young means having energy, strength, stamina and that means diet and exercise. Now that we are just past the Pisces Full Moon, and even though it looks mighty full tonight, it is an excellent time to consider setting up a healthy regime and to commit to a work-out program. Beauty is Pain.
MOON/Oº Aries square R PLUTO/Oº Capricorn 8:30 pm, 11:30 pm
There’s always a Crisis. Accident Warning. Don’t you Dare be some Labor Day Accident Statistic! Check on older family, friends and neighbors this evening. Some could have encounters with Law Enforcement. Not the night for Young People to Question or Provoke Authority or Older People or Harsh Dads. Or Let Themselves Be Provoked into Violence or Murderous Rage. Don’t Fight with Anyone about Anything! Athletes tonight could suffer injuries.
Let’s not underestimate the power of this weekend’s Full Moon, it loosely sets off a
Grand Cross, Moon/Pluto/SD Mercury/Mars in Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn.

SUNDAY SEPT 6
MOON/6º Aries opposite SD MERCURY/6º Libra 7:00 am, 10:00 am
Be Extra Careful what you Say this morning. Catty Remarks about others might not reflect well on you. Be careful about the Promises you make! Be careful about the Gossip you want to believe, or spreading gossip that puts others in a bad light, which in turn, could reflect badly on the gossips themselves. Be careful of what you do to get attention.
Early morning Lost Keys or Mislaid Items? Forgotten appointments?
Could be a Sunday Morning Whining Advisory. Do we placate the immature child? Or indulge the child in ourselves? Or do we get older children or even adults to hear how they really sound to others? Immature? Are we letting the self-indulgent child, rather than the adult, run our lives?
MOON/6º Aries square MARS/6º Cancer 9:25 am, 12:25 pm
Tempers flare! Do Not Make Mom Angry this morning! Guard against Unleashing Anger towards the very youngest children. Being on the receiving end of loud anger can feel like physical blow. Take Action to be Useful in a Household Crisis! Do what needs to be done! Do What needs to be done, so you have nothing hanging on you, nagging at the back of your mind tonight or tomorrow.
MOON/13º Aries trine VENUS/13º Leo 9:14 pm, 12:14 am
People have a lovely evening, whether they are entertaining at home or headed out for entertainment. Young people will gravitate toward toward those fun Leo performers, leaders and mentors.
MERCURY/6º Libra turns Stationary Retrograde 9:45 pm, 12:45 am
Indecision seems to be one of Libra’s main problems. Even The I Ching warns against indecision. Better to do something, even if it turns out to be the wrong course of action rather than to waste time dithering.
All this week, it will be important to make lists, keep track of what’s on The Calendar, what’s on your To Do List, to write down any important information in a place where you can find it later. Forgetting things will waste your time and might even make you hurry to an accident, if you know what I mean.
Retrograde Mercury also could impact our speech, Foot-in-Mouth Advisory? Social faux pas? Could make some turn to vulgar, off-color or crude speech--at the wrong time or in the wrong crowd. Be quick to sincerely apologize.
Even if you are feeling mentally out-of-sorts, try to be cheerful, a pleasant addition to the company you’re in this evening. Get the beauty sleep you need.

MONDAY SEPT 7
LABOR DAY
MOON/19º Aries sextile R JUPITER/19º Aquarius 7:17 am, 10:17 am
People are Upbeat, Up Early to getting that line of Grills Going and Be Ready to be Playing Music and Dancing In The Streets in My Favorite Town. Young people could
surprise everyone by being creatively enterprising today, sharing their discoveries with others. Advertise themselves by putting their work in Silent Auctions for a good cause for instance.
MOON/24º Aries sextile R NEPTUNE/24º Aquarius 5:13 pm, 8:13 pm
MOON/24º Aries Void-of-Course 5:13 pm, 8:13 pm
A lot of people will call it a day around this hour. There will be a lot of people still out and about wanting to make something more happen. You might hear the more immature children whine, “Is that ALL? I want MORE!” We can feel the yang energy of Aries doing a fast fade. Tomorrow morning the Moon goes into Taurus and trines Pluto/Capricorn quite early in the morning.

MONDAY AUGUST 24, 2009
MOON/24º Libra trine R NEPTUNE/24º Aquarius 3:09 am, 6:09 am
Do we wake up to Music? Or with powerfully beautiful dreams?
MOON/27º Libra square VENUS/27º Cancer 7:54 am, 10:54 am
Think twice about what you pick out to wear this morning. There’s some unhappiness at home or disappointments in friends. Is there competition? Or do you just think there is? Time to stop making comparisons and contrasts?
MOON/29º Libra trine MARS/29º Gemini 11:10 am, 2:10 pm
MOON/29º Libra Void-of-Course 11:10 am, 2:10 pm
People are On The Move! Pay Attention to the road. People who set out before this hour could do very well. People’s words can energize an audience.
MOON ENTERS SCORPIO 12:16 pm PDST, 3:16 pm EDST
Mars/Pluto Rule. And Both Mars and Pluto are moving into opposition soon on Wednesday 8/26. Both Mercury and Mars change signs on August 25th. Mercury enters Libra and Mars enters Cancer. When Mercury enters Libra 8/25, it will square-off with Mars and on 8/26, Mercury will square off with Pluto, just before the Mars/Cancer - Pluto/Capricorn opposition is exact.
Today, the Scorpio Moon puts our attention on ongoing investigations into financial mismanagement, criminal enterprises, even possible actions by individuals which catalyze mass action or violence. Also, Scorpio has a lot to do with “Other People’s Money” It’s likely we may learn about how Other People make wise and unwise decisions.
MOON/Oº Scorpio sextile R PLUTO/Oº Capricorn 1:36 pm, 4:36 pm
MOON/1º Scorpio sextile SUN/1º Virgo 3:41 pm, 6:41 pm
Here the Moon sets off Sun/Pluto. I think people are fascinated by Disasters, when people are heroic and overwhelmed at the same time. Both Virgo and Scorpio are good at making decisions about what matters and what doesn’t. They are practical and con-sider what they can live without, what’s outlived its usefulness, what takes too much money, time and effort to maintain. Less IS MORE.

TUESDAY AUG 25
The Moon’s still in Scorpio today,
MARS ENTERS CANCER 10:16 am, 1:16 pm
People are going to be putting energy into their homes, families and children now that school is starting. Gardens could also get some energy too. Mars is going to disrupt the calm and serenity of the home environment. Mars/Cancer makes for upheaval in our homes and among our families and--the people in our immediate environment, other renters, neighbors. Whether it’s painting or remodeling, Home does not feel as secure as it usually does, a place to unwind and relax. It’s Where the Action is and maybe the Angst or Anxiety. Could be lots of Emotional Turmoil on the home front. Expect that people will be expressing their anger or their opinion or their taste in music loudly.
MERCURY ENTERS LIBRA 1:18 pm, 4:18 pm
Our speech will be charming and diplomatic, it is likely people will be talking about organizing social events and gatherings, and activities for the autumn.
However, Mercury, from our perspective here on Planet Earth on our elliptical orbit around the Sun, will APPEAR to slow down and go backwards. Mercury will first slow down at 6º Libra 9/5 and it will hang there through 9/9 turning Retrograde on 9/7. Those 4 or 5 days will--be the worst. (Perhaps the wit and charm of Mercury/Libra will turn nasty or gossipy or show self-interest more obviously ) Retrograde Mercury will exit Libra and return to Virgo at the New Moon 9/18. The Mercury will appear Stationary again at 21º Virgo from 9/27 to 10/1, turning Direct on 9/30. (Now, you might want to check your journal to see what you were doing on 8/17, when Mercury was at 21º Virgo conjunct Saturn. Lies? Foot-in-Mouth Events? Mercury will return to 6º Libra on 10/14.
MERCURY/Oº Libra square MARS/Oº Cancer 8:58 pm, 11:58 pm
This could be a difference of opinion between people in your family or in your immediate environment where you live and spouses, partners, friends, even opponents and competitors. This could be one of those times when you have to find a way to please people on both sides of a disagreement.

WEDNESDAY AUG 26
MOON/20º Scorpio square R JUPITER/20º Aquarius 2:14 am, 5:14 am
What are YOU Overdoing? “He Who Hoots With The Owls At Night Cannot Soar With The Eagles At Dawn.” Jupiter/Neptune in Aquarius put us to those costly Spontaneous Excesses.
MOON/22º Scorpio sextile SATURN/22º Virgo 5:25 am, 8:25 am,
Early morning, people have it in mind to cull their possessions and deal with clutter.
MERCURY/Oº Libra square R PLUTO/Oº Capricorn 9:07 am, 12:07 pm
Don’t Be Road Kill this morning. The Really Hurtful Things people might say to others today will stay with that person for the rest of their lives, especially if they are young. No matter if they forgive you. Ugly things that are said stay with people. Expect Anger and Vile, Caustic Language. Berkeley Psychic Institute has it right when they say people feel physically whacked by anger. If someone is letting you have it, visualize a Huge Rose that absorbs the onslaught of anger. Beware of dishing mean-spirited gossip, slander and libel today.
VENUS ENTERS LEO 9:12 am PDST, 12:12 pm EDST
Our Cancer Homegirls are transformed to Showgirls? Could be! Venus/Leo has the capacity to Shine, to Light up a room, to be a Presence, if not, what used to be called a Force in the community. Think Alpha Female/Male. Think Dramatic. Summery Looks. Can act like Royalty. Bossy. Loyal. Gathers people around the power of their personality. The world is their stage and people could dress to call attention to themselves. Venus here till 9/20.
MOON/24º Scorpio square R NEPTUNE/24º Aquarius 10:21 am, 1:21 pm
There’s a dissatisfaction or doubt or mistrust this morning. Someone feeling hungover? That’s Dubious Achievement! Pay Attention to Any Intuitive Warning Signs your unconscious is giving you. Don’t fall for Scams or Dubious/Glamourous individuals.
MOON/25º Scorpio trine R URANUS/25º Pisces 11:34 am, 2:34 pm
MOON/25º Scorpio Void-of-Course (V/C) 11:34 am, 2:34 pm
People might spontaneously meet highly unusual people. or hear highly unusual news!
Or highly unusual opportunities. Be Careful. When the Scorpio Moon is V/C, the research and investigations of the last few days is ready to be brought into the light soon in Sagittarius.
MARS/Oº Cancer opposite R PLUTO/Oº Capricorn 1:32 pm, 4:32 pm
Scorpio’s Ruling Planets face-off. Mars is individual action; Pluto is action beyond the control of individuals, mass-action or powerful actions or events impacting many individuals. We could be talking “Acts of God” or Major Weather Events, like forest fires or tornadoes and hurricanes. Or, we could be talking about Violence that impacts many people as in War. Or in competitive sports and sports injuries. Or the disruption of schemes hatched below the radar. People could experience upheavals in their homes, with remodeling or demolition. Or upheavals at work. Encounters with Law Enforcement or the Courts is another possibility.
MOON ENTERS SAGITTARIUS 8:16 pm PDST, 11:16 pm EDST
Jupiter Rules. This could be a Terrific Night. People are Up. They feel lucky and confident and it shows. Teachers and professors are totally on their game, so are Athletes, sportswriters and publishers and people with causes and those invested in their beliefs, convictions, theories and opinions about What’s What Metaphysically Speaking. People are talking up Big Ideas and Possibilities.
MOON/1º Sagittarius trine VENUS/1º Leo 9:27 pm, 12:27 am
MOON/1º Sagittarius sextile MERCURY/1º Libra 10:35 pm, 1:35 am
Who gets Lucky? Venus/Mercury move into excellent angles to the Moon tonight and each other by Friday Morning. Stylish and attractive people enjoy meeting others who are gracious and impart brilliant repartee and scintillating conversation.

THURSDAY AUG 27
FIRST QUARTER
MOON/4º Sagittarius square SUN/4º Virgo 4:42 am, 7:42 am
People can feel pushed or can push others to get their way. They can argue about doing their fair share of the work load. Who’s stuck in rut with the shit work again? Who cuts-and-runs? They could argue about what people Believe-- or Think is Acceptable or Proper.
Not much happens astrologically. Jupiter/Aquarius Rules. People are optimistic and excited about The Future today. They are onto the latest news, what’s popular, new discoveries, what’s exciting, the action in sports. Teachers always have a great time when Moon’s in Sagittarius and New Books are likely to be talked up!

FRIDAY AUG 28
MERCURY/2º Libra sextile VENUS/2º Leo 6:26 am, 9:26 am
People are talking about Breakout Styles, Fashion Trends and What’s Really Attractive that people are Buying.
MOON/20º Sagittarius sextile R JUPITER/20º Aquarius 12:10 pm. 3:10 pm
Jupiter Rules. Does it Ever! People are Excited about their Weekend! About their Vacations, about Next Weekend which is Labor Day Weekend. They are Optimistic about The Future and are big on sharing their knowledge, ideas and discoveries with a new generation.
MOON/22º Sagittarius square SATURN/22º Virgo 4:44 pm, 7:44 pm
Stuck in traffic? Someone gets a LOT of Homework? Or gets stuck with extra chores? People are frustrated and worried. (The Moon will go into Capricorn Saturday Morning. Wait till then to begin.) Now is a good time to Pay Attention to what your subconscious is saying, when it sends up messages about the “faults” or “problems” of others have. It may be that the complaining we do about others, may actually showcase our own faults. No Blame Games. It’s ALL on YOU!
MOON/24º Sagittarius sextile R NEPTUNE/24º Aquarius 9:12 pm, 12:12 am
People want to be Inspired. Even Spiritually Uplifted. We’re attracted to Futuristic Movies, Scientific Discoveries even by Get-Rich-Quick schemes. The cultural mavens among us are busy attending popular events.
MOON/25º Sagittarius square R URANUS/25º Pisces 10:26 pm, 1:26 am
MOON/25º Sagittarius Void of Course 10:26 pm, 1:26 am
DUI Advisory. Pay Attention. No Distractions on The Road Home. Don’t be Road Kill Tonight. And Definitely No Lagoon Club.

SATURDAY AUG 29
MOON ENTERS CAPRICORN 7:44 am PDST, 10:44 am EDST
Saturn Rules. We are in a serious frame-of-mind. People want to know what’s making money these days. What they need to accomplish before winter. Ambitious people might consider going back to school to see what’s new in their field.
MOON/Oº Capricorn conjunct R PLUTO/Oº Capricorn 9:09 am, 12:09 pm
Oh, Pluto Again! Corporate or Institutional bankruptcies, maybe people being laid off, news from the military or despotic regimes. Avoid encounters with Ruthless people. Some may have encounters with The Law. It’s time to check on friends who are going through a rough patch. Pay Attention to What People Say especially if disaster has struck in their lives. Catastrophic Weather Events. Don’t let anyone fall between the cracks. There’s always some kind of help available that someone knows, that may have not occurred to the people in need.
MOON/2º Capricorn opposite MARS/2º Cancer 1:00 pm, 4:00 pm
Even though, Mars has pulled away from Pluto by 2 degrees, it is still in Opposition. We might hear the reaction of Angry Women, most particularly on domestic/work issues. I think of my Mom whose bank is offering less than 1% interest on her little savings. Chances are she’ll roar about that! “Why even in The Depression, banks offered a
greater interest on people’s deposits! Whoever heard of offering less than one percent!” Well. we may hear of domestic violence as well. More Scandals! Even more Sex Scandals! Or talking about Secrets that have been revealed!
MOON/3º Capricorn square MERCURY/3º Libra 2:12 pm, 5:12 pm
Chances are--people are talking about Recent Mars/Pluto Events. Today’s one of those days when Capricorn might wish for Libra’s elegant conversational skills and social graces, while Libra may wish for Capricorn’s material success and influence. Put the past and worries to one side and Stay in Present Time.
MOON/6º Capricorn trine SUN/6º Virgo 9:51 pm, 12:51 am
Tonight, people who work hard, tend to play hard. I wouldn’t be surprised if people were talking shop or about financial or career prospects. People are looking for partners who are solid financially, have something going for themselves, whose work is something they love doing and make money at it as well.

SUNDAY AUG 30
The Moon continues to move through Capricorn
Even though it makes no exact aspects to the other planets, Saturn/Virgo Rules and people are ambitious about making plans and are getting organized for the week ahead. A return to a Fall School Schedule. Or anticipating getting the garden ready for winter. Back here in The Midwest, there’s maybe 60 days left of warm enough weather.
People may have ambitious Social plans today. They want to be seen as successful and influential or give the appearance of being so. They could be drawn to attend prestigious events, perhaps with some historical flavor. Antiques Roadshow? Investment Groups?

MONDAY AUG 31
MOON/22º Capricorn trine SATURN/22º Virgo 6:12 am, 9:12 am
Work. We show what we’ve accomplished this past weekend. We own our own information. If we’ve spent the weekend preparing for Monday, practicing to show off our skills, or to close a deal or to finish a job. Or be Very Ready to start one.
MOON/25º Capricorn sextile R URANUS/25º Pisces 11:09 am, 2:09 pm
MOON/25º Capricorn Void-of-Course 11:09 am, 2:09 pm
People can suggest changes. Might be wise not to start anything new until the Moon changes signs and avoid frustration, mistakes and unintended results.
This afternoon--people are thinking of what they’re going to do when they get home. They’re thinking of a time of old age, of retirement or not being able to retire. People are thinking of Letting Go. Everyone wants to Lighten Up, have less stuff to maintain
and spend less time, effort and expense in maintaining their stuff.
Let me mention that Saturn/Uranus are moving into opposition by 9/15. The Virgo Sun will join that opposition on 9/17. Things we organize, can fall into disarray rather quickly, don’t get upset. Go with the flow. There may be some What’s Healthy or UnHealthy discussions. So over the next two weeks, we’ll be seeing Saturn/Uranus over and over.
MOON ENTERS AQUARIUS 8:43 PDST, 11:43 EDST
Uranus/Saturn Rule. People get loose tonight. Do we celebrate? Do we free enough to be goofy, to let it all hang out? We got through a difficult Monday afternoon! Hooray! Pencil in some late night fun. Just to shake off all the ambitiousness of Capricorn. BTW, Don’t know where Bolinas2Miles.com is these days--Alex Horvath is working as News Director of KWMR, West Marin Radio. B2M tends to appear and disappear, rather like the road signs to Our Favorite Town.

A Guide to The View on The Big Spin

MONDAY AUGUST 17, 2009
Don’t forget The Waning Moon’s still in Cancer not Void-of-Course, but not making any aspects till later in the day.
SUN/24º Leo sextile MARS/24º Gemini 3:58 am, 6:58 am
This is a feel-good early morning. Someone’s awake before dawn. People could be aroused sexually, or up early to make the trek to begin college life. Or to travel to the airport. Or even to get in an early morning run or work-out.
The Sun interacts with both Mars/Gemini and Neptune/Aquarius today, which move into a 120º trine that links these air signs which the fiery Sun/Leo catalyzes.
MERCURY/21º Virgo conjunct SATURN/21º Virgo 8:14 am, 11:14 am
In the background, Mercury/Saturn could make us voice those criticisms we’ve stuffed. Or feel guilty about criticisms we’ve made. Or the harsh way we’ve sounded to others. Virgos might not see the forest for the trees, swamped by details. Information overload. Stuffing those criticisms and opinions can lead to indigestion! Be very aware that the people who produce a strong negative emotional reaction in us have those same faults we may not acknowledge in ourselves.
Lastly, LIES and the Lying Liars who tell them come up Big Time. Fear and cowardice are usually at the basis of lies. Fear of being caught, punished, of loss of stature or prestige, of shame or public humiliation.
SUN/25º Leo opposite R NEPTUNE/25º Aquarius 1:56 pm, 4:56 pm,
Mush Mind Advisory. This will Only Last ONE DAY. People could feel mightily confused, even overwhelmed. Brushes with Celebrity? Glamour? Opportunities? Thing is with Neptune, we often can go sky high with dreamy possibilities, then come crashing down, when those expectations fail to materialize.
MOON/19º Cancer conjunct VENUS/19º Cancer 2:12 pm, 5:12 pm
Women are more than magnetically attractive today. They are goddesses! Moms are not only beautiful, but wise in their beauty. Our Cancer Homegirls can make domestic life a compellingly beautiful experience today. Our Cancer friends can take pleasure in the comfort and beauty of their own homes today. And could enjoy entertaining and offering hospitality to visitors.
MOON/21º Cancer sextile SATURN/21º Virgo 4:51 pm, 7:51 pm
MOON/21º Cancer sextile MERCURY/21º Virgo 5:33 pm, 8:33 pm
Moms can usually see through to the truth. This afternoon/evening, people may find that the ability to forgive others is the greatest power they have. The Cancer in all of us can readily empathize and understand the pressures to lie, or the need to fool Mom, to rebel or to define oneself as an individual by having secrets. When we lie, we split ourselves--into an external created public self and an inner self that some don’t want to examine too closely. Some live their whole lives on a razor-thin ledge between the two.
MARS/25º Gemini trine R NEPTUNE/25º Aquarius 6:29 pm, 9:29 pm
Mars/Neptune will make people pretty idealistic, creatively musical. Yet while the Mars/Neptune combo can make us shoot for the stars-- or go crazy over opportunities, keep one small corner of your mind skeptical and realistic! Even with Mars/Neptune in good aspect, impotence could be a problem for some. Be safety conscious on or in the water.

TUESDAY AUG 18
MOON/25º Cancer trine R URANUS/25º Pisces 12:09 am, 3:09 am
MOON/25º Cancer Void-of-Course 12:09 am, 3:09 am
People might just be fluffed up by a late night flirtation.
MOON ENTERS LEO 6:57 am PDST, 9:57 am EDST
The Sun Rules. Everyone will feel warm and sunny--no matter the weather especially when they wake up and being their day! As we are headed for the New Moon in Leo in less than 48 hours--Our Leo friends might just find conserving their energy to be rewarding. Having some reserve, a little self-restraint or composure, rather than being The Life-of-the-Party or vying for attention.
We’ll be seeing the Waning Crescent Moon in the early morning just before dawn.
MARS/25º Gemini square R URANUS/25º Pisces 7:24 pm, 10:24 pm
In the background Mars/Uranus make for a Sudden Accident Advisory. Even at the beach! While the Leo Moon doesn’t set these two off, watch where you’re going, especially in reverse! People could be distracted from the road. There might be some Close Calls or Fender-Benders. People also suddenly explode in a temper, which won’t last long and/or can clear the air. What people say and the way they say it, will be remembered.

WEDNESDAY AUG 19
VENUS/21º Cancer sextile SATURN/21º Virgo 3:11 am, 6:11 am
We might tend to be analytical about our own homes or clothes, or organizational efforts this morning.
MOON/21º Leo opposite R JUPITER/21º Aquarius 5:10 pm, 8:10 pm
Even though it’s the Dark of the Moon, someone might talk up a potluck or party. It could be a Very Fun Evening. The Leo in all of us enjoys being entertained and applauding others graciously.
MOON/25º Leo opposite R NEPTUNE/25º Aquarius 11:00 pm, 2:00 am
Movies and Music MOVE us. Enjoying a gathering this evening puts us in a good mood.

THURSDAY AUG 20
MOON/26º Leo sextile MARS/26º Gemini 1:28 am, 4:28 am
Some Late Night Energy? People could get intimate.
NEW MOON
MOON/27º Leo conjunct SUN/27º Leo 3:02 am, 6:02 am
MOON/27º Leo Void-of-Course 3:02 am, 6:02 am
The-Dark-of-the-Moon’s peak hour. It could be hard to get going this morning. Some Leos might have an identity crisis of some kind. We might reflect on our performance last night. Did we overdo the drinking?
MOON ENTERS VIRGO 7:00 am PDST, 10:00 am EDST
Mercury Rules. This morning, we could be into cleaning up our surroundings. People have fresh energy to get organized.
MOON/Oº Virgo trine R PLUTO/Oº Capricorn 8:16 am, 11:16 am
WHO’S Outrageous? Our Virgo friends might shock some bosses--with their pointed remarks or humor or strong opinions about Healthcare. But after that, we are on it, feeling strong and capable. Practice makes handling the work load quickly and efficiently go easily. People are ambitious about pulling things together or working on projects.

FRIDAY AUG 21
MERCURY/25º Virgo opposite R URANUS/25º Pisces 4:48 am, 7:48 am
Unexpected News? Sudden Excitement! Watch where you are going! Possibility of Unexpected guests or encounters with unusual people. Then again, watch out if you characterize someone as Crazy. You might get a Huge Reaction: WHO’S CRAZY?!? Who are YOU to call anyone Crazy? Who made you The Expert? Foot-in Mouth Advisory.
MOON/21º Virgo conjunct SATURN/21º Virgo 6:24 pm, 9:24 pm
Tired People could tend to have Accidents. Get home safe and give yourself a rest. Our energy might be low Friday Evening around this hour. I sure hope you don’t have plans. People could feel mentally and physically tired. And, they could probably lie about how they really feel. Tired, hungry people can be crabby people. Things we must do tonight might seem like a chore--BUT go look for that lovely New Crescent in the West at sunset and do whatever it takes to refresh and restore yourself. Could be the younger generation will be out-and-about in the early morning hours.
MOON/23º Virgo sextile VENUS/23º Cancer 11:28 pm, 2:28 am
The home girls we know, may have a perfectly lovely evening even at home with friends.

SATURDAY AUG 22
MOON/25º Virgo opposite R URANUS/25º Pisces 12:54 am, 3:54 am
Who’s Surprised? Brainstorms? Intuitive Insights? Psychological realizations? Incredible discoveries and breakthroughs in Science and Medicine.
MOON/26º Virgo conjunct MERCURY/26º Virgo 2:34 am, 5:34 am
Do people wake up suddenly, or have they been up in the small hours thinking and talking about health issues, writing or calling, texting, twittering people? Mercury’s going into Libra soon and will further catalyze Mars/Pluto early next week.
MOON/29º Virgo square MARS/29º Gemini 4:44 am, 7:44 am
MOON/29º Virgo Void-of-Course 4:44 am, 7:44 am
Mars/Pluto are about to move into exact opposition Next Wednesday afternoon 8/26, when the Moon’s Void-of-Course in the last degrees of Scorpio (That is not making any aspects to any more planets before it changes signs and enters Sagittarius.) Until then, it is likely we will feel Mars/Pluto as a powerful undercurrent of uneasiness, tension, hostility, anger, threat or violence. As they will be in Cancer/Capricorn, the scene will be Home and Workplace, where individual actions can go out of control and impact many people. Of late, there’s been a lot of uncivil and disruptive shouting at Town Meetings on the Healthcare Issue. Mars/Gemini is the National Hope that Someone makes a Powerful, Memorable Speech, that Changes People’s Thinking, that says we’re
in this together, that shuts people up from the petty bickering, the polarizing inflammatory rhetoric that seems to be going around.
So today is when the Virgo/Libra Moon sets these two off, even though they are already in an out-of-sign opposition, making 2 90º angles, a T-square with the empty corner being the Pisces/Aries cusp. Things people could Say today in Anger or Places they go to Take Actions that Hurt or Injure People or even Children can cause a Huge Powerful Reaction. Expect some kind of disagreement that could rapidly escalate in arguments or even violent confrontations. Avoid bullies, dangerous places, hot-tempered people, and Don’t You DARE be Road-Kill this morning!
I’m sure everyone in California is Alert for Fire Danger, Mars/Pluto have been in opposition for quite sometime and will continue to hold into next week. Folks are bracing themselves for Hurricanes and Weather Events, beyond the control of us mere mortals. This is a moment when I think we may hear of Whistle-Blowers and people who Reveal Secrets and not just Rabid Rabble-Rousers.
MOON ENTERS LIBRA 8:12 am PDST, 11:12 am EDST
Venus Rules. Well, if we’re going to face a crisis, looking good and remembering to feel good about yourself is a way to instill confidence that can you handle anything--No Matter What! Whatever It Takes! We perform better when we’re dressed appropriately. I keep thinking that the empty corner of This Big T-Square is Aries and that the Action is taking place on those Solstice/Equinox degrees, I would avoid being competitive, or taking sides in any argument. Libra looks for balance, equilibrium and peace. Making an exit when things get rough might or might not be a good idea. Your call.
MOON/Oº Libra square R PLUTO/Oº Capricorn 9:28 am, 12:28 pm
Some kind of Crisis. Sudden change of plans? Cancellations? Endings? Bad news can impact the group spirit. Stay in Awareness of how people around you are really feeling. Be a friend, especially to those who can’t make up their minds about what to do.
Some could have conflict with powerful corporations, even criminal organizations, Authorities or The Law. Pluto in Saturn-Ruled Capricorn can be ruthless in imposing limitations on people.
VENUS/25º Cancer trine R URANUS/25º Pisces 4:32 pm, 7:32 pm
Flirtation? Infatuation? Venus Rules--people could be suddenly be attracted to someone fascinating and unusual.
SUN ENTERS VIRGO 4:39 pm PDST, 7:39 pm EDST
Happy Birthday to all our Virgo friends and neighbors! No, they are NOT all emptying the ashtrays at the party of life! Two friends recently sent me an email describing the various signs rather succinctly. (Source unknown.) Probably should post it at the DWTP website at Live Journal, as it is a quick and easy cheat sheet for the signs. Here’s Virgo: “Dominant in relationships. Conservative. Always has the last word. Argumentative. Worries. Very Smart. Dislikes Noise and Chaos. Eager, Hardworking, Loyal. Beautiful. Easy to talk to. Hard to please. Harsh. Practical and very fussy. Often Shy. Pessimistic.” Craig Ferguson Voice: “Remind-- you of Anyone?”
Figure that the “shadow” side of each sign is its opposite sign, so in every Virgo there’s a acknowledge or unacknowledged Neptunian Pisces: Astrology, reincarnation, psychic healing, telepathy, all the metaphysical stuff, ghosts, along with drugs and alcohol, along with a intuitive resonance to color, music, theatrical play and especially creative imagination.
Health and its opposite-- come up. Normal and its opposite come up. An awareness of What’s Acceptable or “Proper” and What’s NOT comes up. Virgos often hold their tension in their guts and are very aware of digestive health problems, believing you are what you eat.
School starts and not for nothing does school start in Mercury-Ruled Virgo and end in Mercury-Ruled Gemini. It’s ALL On You to decide what kind of student you’re going to be. Hopefully Life-Long! Of the earth signs, Virgo often can be a specialist in a particular field, or highly skilled craftsmen, not just nurses and secretaries or bookkeepers. Experts. Sometimes the details-- can fascinate and yet can swamp our Virgo friends or be what they are known for. A Big Shout-Out to the Many Virgo Women at The Virgo Party in Bo. Our Favorite Town.

SUNDAY AUG 23
SUN/Oº Virgo trine R PLUTO/Oº Capricorn 11:18 am, 2:18 pm
WHO’S Outrageous? Are we Transformed? Radical? ABSOLUTELY NO Accidents! May all our Sunday crises be small ones. The Greatest Avocation we have is Blowing Minds. Perhaps there’s finger-pointing at corruption in The National Healthcare Discussion at Large Corporations, whose lobbyists are underhanded in the way they handle the big business of healthcare insurance in this country up to now. I sure expect to those see those Whistleblowers. Doctors, Nurses, people in the Industry itself.
MOON/20º Libra trine R JUPITER/20º Aquarius 8:00 pm, 11:00 pm
Very Nice Sunday Night. Good night for a gathering. Even this afternoon is a good time for a fundraising event. People share their discoveries, whether it be new inventions or new soon-to-be-popular music, movies,

MONDAY AUG 24
MOON/24º Libra trine R NEPTUNE/24º Aquarius 3:09 am, 6:09 am
Do we wake up to Music? Or with powerfully beautiful dreams?
MOON/27º Libra square VENUS/27º Cancer 7:54 am, 10:54 am
Think twice about what you pick out to wear this morning. There’s some unhappiness at home or disappointments in friends with Is there competition? Or do you just think there is? Time to stop making comparisons and contrasts?
MOON/29º Libra trine MARS/29º Gemini 11:10 am, 2:10 pm
MOON/29º Libra Void-of-Course 11:10 am, 2:10 pm
People are On The Move! Pay Attention to the road. People who set out before this hour could do very well. People’s words can energize an audience.
MOON ENTERS SCORPIO 12:16 pm PDST, 3:16 pm EDST
Mars/Pluto Rule. And Both Mars and Pluto are moving into opposition soon on Wednesday 8/26. Both Mercury and Mars change signs on August 25th. Mercury enters Libra and Mars enters Cancer. When Mercury enters Libra 8/25, it will square-off with Mars and on 8/26, Mercury will square off with Pluto, just before the Mars/Cancer - Pluto/Capricorn opposition is exact.
Today, the Scorpio Moon puts our attention on ongoing investigations into financial mismanagement, criminal enterprises, even possible actions by individuals which catalyze mass action or violence. Also, Scorpio has a lot to do with “Other People’s Money” It’s likely we may learn about how Other people make wise and unwise decisions.
MOON/Oº Scorpio sextile R PLUTO/Oº Capricorn 1:36 pm, 4:36 pm
MOON/1º Scorpio sextile SUN/1º Virgo 3:41 pm, 6:41 pm
Here the Moon sets off Sun/Pluto. I think people are fascinated by Disasters, when people are heroic and overwhelmed at the same time. Both Virgo and Scorpio are good at making decisions about what matters and what doesn’t. They are practical and con-sider what they can live without, what’s outlived its usefulness, what takes too much money, time and effort to maintain. Less IS MORE.

MOON/11º Aries square VENUS/11º Cancer 10:48 am, 1:48 pm
Clothes choices might not make you or others feel comfortable. However, Moms, our Cancer Home Girls or older women feel good about themselves. Avoid making comparisons between yourself and others. If relationships aren’t giving you what you expected, accept that people are their own phenomenon. Put your center back on yourself. And Get Busy!
MARS/20º Gemini square SATURN/20º Virgo 5:16 pm, 8:16 pm
Yesterday, in Chicago, we had a heat index reading of 107º (including humidity). People could feel frustrated today and feel an angry undercurrent in themselves and others all day long. Although the Aries Moon doesn’t set these two off. Mars Rules and Mars/Saturn indicate a continuing feeling of pent-up anger, hostility, frustration and combativeness. You might hear someone say, I really want you to listen to me! Now! Step back and get perspective. Take frequent breaks just to let go and change your state of mind. Do refreshing and restorative things for yourself tonight. A long soak in the tub? Mars/Saturn peak tonight, but expect that as both are slower moving planets, we’ll probably keep feeling them somewhat tomorrow. BUT Mars/Jupiter fall into a trine on Thursday, so energetic solutions could very well come out of this.

TUESDAY AUG 11
MOON/18º Aries trine SUN/18º Leo 1:04 am, 4:04 am
People feel extra good deep in the night. Warm, even hot.
MOON/21º Aries sextile MARS/21º Gemini 4:44 am, 7:44 am
Young people will be hot to go places very early this morning. The Moon’s at the midpoint between Mars/Jupiter. Do people get up early to go for a run or workout? Or hit the road to get things done before others get started. Or the squeeze out the last few fun days before School starts. Summer ends early for lots of kids. No more waiting for Labor Day!
MOON/22º Aries sextile R JUPITER/22º Aquarius 7:56 am, 10:56 am
People are confident and outgoing, ready to sell those Big Dreams or Big Schemes this morning.
MOON/25º Aries sextile R NEPTUNE/25º Aquarius 1:04 pm, 4:04 pm
MOON/25º Aries Void-of-Course 1:04 pm, 4:04 pm
Whining Advisory? This is a LONG Void-of-Course period! We’ll feel the Aries energy change this afternoon. Starting NEW things while the Moon’s Void-of-Course or buying new things during this period, won’t turn out as good as we had hoped. When it comes to New Stuff, it might be a good idea to look at what you already have, have you used it infrequently, has it worn out from use? How well have you cared for the things you have? Is there actually room for more?
MOON ENTERS TAURUS 9:50 pm PDST, 12:50 am EDST
Venus Rules. Are we feeling Amorous? Romantic? Late night people could feel some fresh energy. Taurus is very aware of what he has be given--from his parents, his schools, his body, and how well he’s used what he’s been given. What he’s earned is his
MOON/Oº Taurus trine R PLUTO/Oº Capricorn 11:27 pm, 2:27 am
People could get Radical late night. Taurus might be attracted to people on both sides of the law. The Taurus in us might be attracted by some kind of risk, probably financial/illegal. Or have some knowledge of underhanded goings-on. Or can sense
danger. Or be disinclined to gamble what’s been hard earned. Financial loss/theft. Someone might have to act fast in an emergency tonight.

WEDNESDAY AUG 12
This morning we coast. Venus Rules. Not much happens astrologically. Or does it? We find the work we love to do and enjoy doing it so it becomes creative play. On this planet, it seems we have to learn to do a lot of different things well--like know how to take good care of ourselves and others. Pay the rent. Do our homework. Or to do whatever we must do -- as cheerfully as possible. We show awareness of how other people are feeling and stop measuring them against a yardstick of material worth or physical beauty or a TV image. Everybody could be a Somebody.
MOON/14º Taurus sextile VENUS/14º Cancer 11:31 pm, 2:21 am
The Moon’s Ruling Planet is triggered. There’s what astrologer’s call Mutual Reception between Venus in the Moon’s sign and Moon’ in Venus-Ruled Taurus. Someone has great affection, awareness and appreciation of women. Girl’s Night Out? Men find they meet women by tapping into their own Mighty Yin Within. They connect with their own feeling natures. Stop Trying. Just BE

THURSDAY AUG 13
MOON/15º Taurus trine MERCURY/15º Virgo 2:15 am, 5:15 am
Something could get us thinking or talking till late night. Could be Shop Talk. Planning. Staying in touch with skilled or practical people.
MARS/22º Gemini trine R JUPITER/22º Aquarius 9:30 am, 12:30 am
Are We Over-The-Top with Excitement? We sure are! With Mars/Jupiter in the background of the Taurus Moon, people show they have HUGE physical energy and speed and quickness. People could travel to take in some late season Sports Action. Did someone win a vacation? People also could travel to science museums and take the kids. Or they could travel to take in cutting edge ideas or designs or check out why the Cultural Mavens are raving about What’s Popular. Bargain Hunters at flea markets?
MOON/20º Taurus trine SATURN/20º Virgo 11:13 am, 2:13 pm
We power through the workday pretty steadily, using our talents and skills to work efficiently and effectively and keep ourselves cheerful. The day goes fast and we accomplish a lot. We could listen to someone with issues from the past.
LAST QUARTER
MOON/21º Taurus square SUN/21º Leo 11:55 am, 2:55 pm
No one wants another WHO’S The Boss Fight. Decide for yourself if the fight is worth it. Do you have the stretch to manage the added responsibilities and obligations? Is this something you really want or--would another be better suited for leadership? The Leo Sun moves into opposition with Jupiter/Neptune this weekend And Mars/Gemini trines Jupiter-Neptune/Aquarius and sextiles the Leo Sun. Performers and audiences have a great weekend ahead.
MOON/21º Taurus square R JUPITER/22º Aquarius 1:45 pm, 4:45 pm
What are we overdoing? Here the Taurus Moon squares off with Jupiter/Neptune.
The urge to splurge or even gamble might not be a good idea. To over-eat or indulge in too much alcohol is not a good idea either.
MOON/25º Taurus square R NEPTUNE/25º Aquarius 7:01 pm, 10:01 pm
Some could tie one on and find that they’re calling it a night a whole lot sooner than they expected. New fads or celebrities or strange drugs or glamourous drinkers might not really impress the Taurus in us or they don’t fit our comfort zone.
MOON/25º Taurus sextile R URANUS/25º Pisces 8:17 pm, 11:17 pm
MOON/25º Taurus Void-of-Course 8:17 pm, 11:17 pm
Someone new? Get a phone number and make a date for Friday Night. People have had a long hard day.

FRIDAY AUG 14
MOON ENTERS GEMINI 3:25 am PDST, 6:25 am EDST
Mercury Rules. People will feel fresh energy this morning. They are making plans to go places this weekend. The phone’s ringing and it’s likely people are filling in their calendars with events and occasions. This is gonna be a lively weekend. People are going to want go places and do things with all kinds of people.
. It’ll definitely be Busy with lots of social activities with

SUN/22º Leo opposite R JUPITER/22º Aquarius 10:53 am, 1:53 pm
Who feels LUCKY? Our Leo friends! Especially those whose birthdays are this weekend. People are expansive this evening, really in touch with themselves and aware of others who are their audience. People are confident and out-going tonight.

SATURDAY AUG 15
MOON/18º Gemini square MERCURY/18º Virgo 11:40 am, 2:40 pm
Bickering Advisory? A difference of opinion? Mercury is moving up to conjunct Saturn on Monday and we could feel these two in the background ALL WEEKEND. Our Virgo friends might just stuff their opinions and their criticisms and when they do, they could stress and that could affect their stomachs. Keep the Tums handy. Sometimes people know they’re being lied to, especially if cutting and running from getting stuck with the drudge work is involved. People could well spread false ideas about healthcare proposals.
MOON/20º Gemini square SATURN/20º Virgo 3:15 pm, 6:15 pm
Chill. People could feel tired or out of sorts and might tend to complain. You may encounter someone who complains about everything out of habit. A very bad habit. Give it a rest! Is it Nap time? Go refresh and restore yourself time? People also could be very critical. Consider The Source. Listen closely to how you sound to others. Others might fear speaking out today.
MOON/21º Gemini trine R JUPITER/21º Aquarius 4:46 pm, 7:46 pm
Finally, the Moon sets off The Jupiter/Sun opposition! And Mars which is activating Jupiter/Neptune conjunction too! People are ready for a good time. A Splurge on a Big Saturday Night? It’s likely a lot of people are going to take in a show tonight. A Concert? A Movie? Dancing? People are up for Crowds and The Latest Happening.
MOON/22º Gemini sextile SUN/22º Leo 7:12 pm, 10:12 pm
People are into FUN. And Fundraising. Political events? Party after Party?
MOON/23º Gemini conjunct MARS/23º Gemini 7:56 pm, 10:56 pm
We are going places. Did someone say Road-Trip? Music? Huge Crowds? Amusement Parks at Night? People want not only want Major League Sports Action--or to yell their guts out for a local team, they are up to actively get in the game themselves! A little friendly competition!
MOON/25º Gemini trine R NEPTUNE/25º Aquarius 10:08 pm, 1:08 am
When Music Really MOVES us--we get up and dance. People could find they could overdo the partying and could find that drink, drugs and driving don’t mix.
MOON/25º Gemini square R URANUS/25º Pisces 11:19 pm, 2:19 am
MOON/25º Gemini Void-of-Course 11:19 pm, 2:19 am
Sudden Accident Warning? Close Call with a deer? Or Total Wipeout? Everybody in the car should help the designated driver by keeping distractions and volume to a minimum. Know when to call it a night. People might feel talked-out or get tired of superficial chatter. Call Home, ET. let people know any change of plans.

SUNDAY AUG 16
MOON ENTERS CANCER 6:13 am PDST, 9:13 am EDST
The Moon Rules-- Feelings! Our emotions will be front and center over the next couple of days, as we head for The New Moon at 27º 32´ Leo Thursday morning.
MOON/Oº Cancer opposite R PLUTO/Oº Capricorn 7:35 am, 10:35 am
NO Hurrying Anywhere! Get Each Other’s Back, All You Bikers on The Sunday Morning Ride over Mt. Tamalpais! Be prepared to deal with some kind of Crisis. Stay in Awareness. Cancer/Capricorn are about Home and Career, the private self and the public self and about parents as well as children. The News this morning could be shocking. People could hear about horrific crimes or disasters impacting many people or the repressive power of governments, the business failure of corporations or the greed that causes them to fail and gives executives those “golden parachutes” that to many seem more like theft. We could hear more about the loss of homes or jobs or sudden departures. We may learn of encounters with people on both sides of the law or crimes done to women or children.
The rug is still being pulled out from under many people. Something is telling us that life is going to be insecure, maybe things haven’t been the way we thought they were going to be.
Use this Sunday to get with yourself to Feel What You Feel. Give yourself some time just to be honest with yourself and reflect on your own words and actions. Are you being true to yourself? What are you doing and why are you doing it? Is it making you money or costing you money? Is it helping you or destroying you? Are you happy with the relationships you have with your family, home and people in your immediate environment or at work? How do other people make you feel? How do you make other people feel?

MONDAY AUG 17
Don’t forget The Waning Moon’s still in Cancer not Void-of-Course, but not making any aspects till later in the day.
SUN/24º Leo sextile MARS/24º Gemini 3:58 am, 6:58 am
This is a feel-good early morning. Someone’s awake before dawn. People could be aroused sexually, or up early to make the trek to begin college life. Or to travel to the airport. Or even to get in an early morning run or work-out.
The Sun interacts with both Mars/Gemini and Neptune/Aquarius today, which move into a 120º trine that links these air signs which the fiery Sun/Leo catalyzes.
MERCURY/21º Virgo conjunct SATURN/21º Virgo 8:14 am, 11:14 am
In the background, Mercury/Saturn could make us voice those criticisms we’ve stuffed. Or feel guilty about criticisms we’ve made. Or the harsh way we’ve sounded to others. Virgos could not see the forest for the trees, swamped by details. Information overload. Stuffing those criticisms and opinions can lead to indigestion! Be very aware that the people who produce a strong negative emotional reaction in us have those same faults we may not acknowledge in ourselves.
Lastly, LIES and the Lying Liars who tell them come up Big Time. Fear and cowardice are usually at the basis of lies. Fear of being caught, punished, of loss of stature or prestige, of shame or public humiliation.
SUN/25º Leo opposite R NEPTUNE/25º Aquarius 1:56 pm, 4:56 pm,
Mush Mind Advisory. This will Only Last ONE DAY. People could feel mightily confused, even overwhelmed. Brushes with Celebrity? Glamour? Opportunities? Thing is with Neptune, we often can go sky high with dreamy possibilities, then come crashing down, when those expectations fail to materialize.
MOON/19º Cancer conjunct VENUS/19º Cancer 2:12 pm, 5:12 pm
Women are more than magnetically attractive today. They are goddesses! Moms are not only beautiful, but wise in their beauty. Our Cancer Homegirls can make domestic life a compellingly beautiful experience today. Our Cancer friends can take pleasure in the comfort and beauty of their own homes today. And could enjoy entertaining and offering hospitality to visitors.
MOON/21º Cancer sextile SATURN/21º Virgo 4:51 pm, 7:51 pm
MOON/21º Cancer sextile MERCURY/21º Virgo 5:33 pm, 8:33 pm
Moms can usually see through to the truth. This afternoon/evening, people may find that the ability to forgive others is the greatest power they have. The Cancer in all of us can readily empathize and understand the pressures to lie, or the need to fool Mom, to rebel or to define oneself as an individual by having secrets. When we lie, we split ourselves--into an external created public self and an inner self that some don’t want to examine too closely. Some live their whole lives on a razor-thin ledge between the two.
MARS/25º Gemini trine R NEPTUNE/25º Aquarius 6:29 pm, 9:29 pm
Mars/Neptune will make people pretty idealistic, creatively musical. Yet while the Mars/Neptune combo can make us shoot for the stars-- or go crazy over opportunities, keep one corner of your mind skeptical and realistic! Even with Mars/Neptune in good aspect, impotence could be a problem for some.

MONDAY AUGUST 3, 2009
MERCURY/1º Virgo trine R PLUTO/1º Capricorn 7:10 am, 10:10 am
Somebody’s speaking truth to power forcefully? I’m sure that Way Out West in West Marin they are talking about The San Francisco Mime’s Troupe’s latest production called, “Too Big To Fail” this morning! Hope everyone back in My Favorite Town gets to see it. All about Greed, Corruption, Lies and Theft and people in high places taking a pratfall. People can be harsh in their assessments. Some could talk up revolution or even radical change. We CAN expect Big Exposes in Healthcare. Don’t forget to Drive Sensibly this morning. No Wipeouts. Early morning shockers in business news. People can expect a tough, but productive workday in which people are all business.
MOON/19º Capricorn trine SATURN/19º Virgo 5:08 pm, 8:08 pm
Saturn Rules and some are likely to keep working a little later into the evening. People are thinking of School, not just for their kids, but for themselves. We might be thinking of long-range planning. Taking care of the things on which we’ve Procrastinated. Now is the time to do it! Get the rest you need!

TUESDAY AUG 4
MOON/26º Capricorn sextile R URANUS/26º Pisces 6:21 am, 9:21 am
MOON/26º Capricorn Void-of-Course 6:21 am, 9:21 am
Early morning might hold a nice surprise. Maybe meeting someone new and different at the office this morning? After this hour, go with the flow. People are going to be tired of the ambitious business world. They’ll be thinking of the weekend, retirement, freeing themselves up from duties and responsibilities, simplifying their lives.
MOON ENTERS AQUARIUS 2:08 pm PDST, 5:08 pm EDST
Uranus/Saturn Rule. People feel New Fresh Energy and could feel mentally AWAKE and AWARE. They want to refresh and restore themselves. Everyone will want to Just Let Go-- People spontaneously will head for the beach. Or to do something completely different! Hit the road for a new dining experience? Stop at a garage sale. Or some unusual theatric presentation? Aquarius is not acquisitive, in fact, giving away things means less work, money and time spent in maintenance. Conscientious recyclers, they are nor particularly possessive of people or things. They’re said to have a “scientific detachment,” an objectivity, that doesn’t get over-emotional as others do over little things.

WEDNESDAY AUG 5
We coast--even though the Aquarius Moon makes no aspects to other planets. “I arrive in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world. This makes it hard to plan the day.” -E.B White. Ellie Buckley phoned that in.
People will feel loose, free, spontaneous and just a little goofy. Could be a FUN Day! Think Originality! We connect to our own uniqueness and are definitely our own phenomenon. When the Moon is in Aquarius, we allow other people to be their own phenomenon without needing to manage them. And no one likes being managed during an Aquarian Full Moon!
LUNAR ECLIPSE - FULL MOON
MOON/13º 43´ Aquarius opposite SUN/13º 43´ Leo 5:55 pm, 8:55 pm
The third and last eclipse of the summer. Our Full Moon energy could dip a little around this hour. No Biggie. Just be aware that people could be inexplicably moody. Or sudden disruptions could mar performances. The Lunar Eclipse will be visible in the eastern US, as the Full Moon rises at Sunset and sets at Dawn. Our west coast friends might--catch the end of it. When it’s over, everyone will feel our Full Moon energy returning! Might be time to schedule some “Let’s Get Away From It All-- Quiet Time” even if it’s just for a hour or so to refresh yourself or to really listen to yourself or your partner. Take a stroll.

THURSDAY AUG 6
MOON/17º Aquarius trine MARS/17º Gemini 1:12 am, 4:12 am
When the Full Moon energy returns, after the eclipse, people get active, call people, go places, get together socially late night. Sports Action? Cards? People could be spontaneous about having some fun sex. Use protection, People. Some might be heading home from a night out with the pedal to the metal. Slow down.
MOON/23º Aquarius conjunct R JUPITER/23º Aquarius 12:47 pm, 3:47 pm
People feel lucky. Inspired by Big Dreams or Big Schemes? We may feel inventive coming up with brainstorms. Expect to hear of discoveries in medicine, science, even archaeology! Some could overdo the spending or self-indulgence. Others will be Big Givers to worthy causes. Jupiter/Aquarius makes for a Progressive Democrat who enjoys working in the community with different groups of people. Excellent time to give Good Meeting. Note that Jupiter’s apparent retrograde motion is a just little faster than Neptune’s. While Jupiter/Neptune are still conjunct, what or who inspires us to believe--The Vision. Or Is It The Matrix? That Simulated Reality of TV Advertising and News? Or of Ephemeral Diversions like Movies? Or of fleeting effects of alcohol and drugs that aren’t only expensive, but cost a lot physically long term. What do we believe? What do we buy into? The Glamour? Neptune/Jupiter also is about the cost of oil and the long poisonous pollution it causes. Big thefts or scams too.
MOON/25º Aquarius conjunct R NEPTUNE/25º Aquarius 5:20 pm, 8:20 pm
MOON/25º Aquarius Void-of-Course 5:20 pm, 8:20 pm
It is good to end meetings on a high note. People might notice that they’ve spent more than they intended and may need to conserve more this weekend. Tonight, is a good night to regroup. Have NO Expectations. Enjoy what it is. Whatever it is. As the Aquarius Full Moon, just barely waning transitions into Pisces, we consider what we can sell, recycle, give away. We want to free ourselves up--simplify our lives. Looking to a time when we’re older and want to take care of less stuff.

FRIDAY AUG 7
MOON ENTERS PISCES 2:34 am PDST, 5:34 am EDST
Neptune/Jupiter Rule. Is it Raining where you are? Foggy? Space-Cadet Advisory!
People want to kick back and relax this weekend and they are putting that on the agenda. It’s likely some won’t want to go anywhere and be reclusive. They could--hang out with friends on their own home turf. It’s Finally Friday! People will be thinking of Music and Dancing, Theater, Movies and Videos. Music helps people forget their worries for awhile, you can’t talk or think as music does have override capacity on our minds and opens us up emotionally. Neptune/Jupiter Rule so alcohol and drugs are likely to have increased effects during this Pisces Moon. Keep everything in moderation.
MOON/Oº Pisces sextile R PLUTO/Oº Capricorn 4:29 am, 7:29 am
Someone could feel ruthlessly radical early this morning. Or not. Maybe dreams shake us up a little. DON’T be in a HURRY if you’re late.
MOON/7º Pisces opposite MERCURY/7º Virgo 6:35 pm, 9:35 pm
WHO’S Crazy? People will be talking about Healthcare. And taking care of your health! They will also be talking about What’s Sanitary, Normal, even Sane. Some will focus on What’s Acceptable or even Proper. Mercury’s outreach is to women and moms. Mercury/Venus do a dance this evening.
MOON/7º Pisces trine VENUS/7º Cancer 6:39 pm, 9:39 pm
There’s an emotional resonance between Cancer and Pisces. Each intuitively understands the other. They rely on their feelings and instincts to make decision about trusting people and ideas--even their own style sense.
MERCURY/7º Virgo sextile VENUS/7º Cancer 8:53 pm, 11:53 pm
People could be discussing home decorating, the challenges to be organized to deal with chores quickly and effectively. People could be talking shop talk about skills and experiences they’ve had--on the job.

SATURDAY AUG 8
We can have a perfectly good time in spite of any difficult or challenging astrological aspects. Stuff may not happen to you personally, however stuff can happen to friends, family, neighbors, especially if they have planets at these degrees like I do, my Saturn is at 20º Virgo, the last pass and then it’s gone. Fingers crossed.
MOON/19º Pisces square MARS/19º Gemini 4:14 pm, 7:14 pm
Who wants to Play in the Ocean? The Lake? The Pool? The Tub? Are we thinking WATER SAFETY? We best be! Don’t you Too Laid Back-- with the Pisces Moon All This Weekend--that we ignore people in trouble! Mars is moving up to square-off with Saturn by Monday, so between now and then, check your car. Oil, brakes, lights, tires, papers and That Nut Behind The Wheel! There might be Major Accidents behind Mars/Saturn too. Or, people could get stuck in Saturday afternoon traffic behind someone else’s wipeout. Road Rage Advisory.
There could be some kind of a Health Crisis, people having trouble breathing or overdoing work or exercise in the hot weather. Sunburn? Mars/Saturn could also indicate fire danger. First Responders could have a Way Busy Saturday Night!
And of course, people could Argue or explode with Pent-up Anger. (See Monday when Mars/Saturn are exact.) about some deceptive action from the past.
Ok, Mars/Saturn form a T-Square with the Pisces Moon ruled by Neptune/Jupiter and the empty corner is Sagittarius ruled by Jupiter, which is Major Institutions, Corporations, Sports Franchises, News Papers, Congress. So! I think some kind of Deceptive Action or Covert War is revealed. Some reporters or public relations experts might be working overtime. People really become aware of Mars/Saturn in Mercury Ruled signs. People debate What’s What and What’s REALLY What.
MOON/20º Pisces opposite SATURN/20º Virgo 6:27 pm, 9:27 pm
I’d plan a quiet evening. People are going to be tired, maybe even a little solemn.
Don’t be surprised if people vent their frustrations, their complaints, their criticism or blame they place on others. Pisces Moon Foot-In-Mouth Advisory? Something brings up old issues or buried hurts from The Past. Be very careful about voicing any kind of criticism thoughtlessly. People who are drinking tonight could say incredibly stupid things unconsciously that offend or anger others. Be quick to apologize sincerely and profusely. You may be pointing out in others the very things that people see clearly as faults of your own! Digestive troubles could be a possibility. A little fish oil or flax seed oil can work wonders. Alcohol or Drug Use (Jupiter/Neptune) could be a contributing factor you don’t really don’t need tonight.

SUNDAY AUG 9
MOON/26º Pisces conjunct R URANUS/26º Pisces 5:44 am, 8:44 am
MOON/26º Pisces Void-of-Course 5:44 am, 8:44 am
People could wake spontaneously at dawn, as I’ve been doing lately, but a whole lot of Midwesterners are always up and about at 6 am and not just the farmers. Many could feel decidedly lazy Sunday morning, more than a few will roll over and go back to sleep. Have NO Expectations and go with the flow while the Pisces Moon is Void-of-Course. Wait till the Moon changes signs before you go shopping for bargains or start any kind of a new project! Before then, things you buy might not bring you the satisfaction you hoped for and projects may have unforeseen complications and frustrations.
MOON ENTERS ARIES 1:23 pm PDST, 4:23 pm EDST
Mars/Pluto Rule. Are we ready for some Sports Action? You better believe it! All you older athletes best warm up thoroughly, before you get into the game! Youth Rules and while many are conscious that it takes work to Stay Young. The-Aries-in-Everyone is active, adventurous, game for anything. They want it all now. Action, Jackson! I’m not Tired. Who’s Demanding? I’m just saying what I want. Aries are catalysts to make things happen.
Older people might want to impress younger people of the opposite or same sex, who make them feel younger. Watch Out, Young People! Just keep in mind, There’s No Fool like an Old Fool. Rejected!
MOON/Oº Aries square R PLUTO/Oº Capricorn 3:10 pm, 6:10 pm
Accidents. Car wrecks taking the lives of more young people? Violent attacks? Career-Ending Injuries on the Playing Field? Head-bangers? Get it checked out immediately! (Think about Natasha Richardson, who ignored a head injury skiing in Canada and suddenly died.) Whatever the crisis is, we can deal with it, calmly, quickly and effectively. Pluto puts us to those events that are beyond individual control and affect many people, like weather events. Is it Hot enough for you? Young people could have confrontations with The Law or powerful and dangerous people outside the law. It is one thing to injure yourself, while driving, quite another to injure someone else, especially a child. Authorities are likely to be Very Harsh.

MONDAY AUG 10
MOON/11º Aries square VENUS/11º Cancer 10:48 am, 1:48 pm
Clothes choices might not make you or others feel comfortable. However, Moms, our Cancer Home Girls or older women feel good about themselves. Avoid making comparisons between yourself and others. If relationships aren’t giving you what you expected, accept that people are their own phenomenon. Put your center back on yourself. And Get Busy!
MARS/20º Gemini square SATURN/20º Virgo 5:16 pm, 8:16 pm
People could feel frustrated today and feel an angry undercurrent in themselves and others all day long. Although the Aries Moon doesn’t set these two off. Mars Rules and Mars/Saturn indicate a continuing feeling of pent-up anger, hostility, frustration and combativeness. You might hear someone say, I really want you to listen to me! Now! Step back and get perspective. Take frequent breaks just to let go and change your state of mind. Do refreshing and restorative things for yourself tonight. A long soak in the tub? Mars/Saturn peak tonight, but expect that as both are slower moving planets, we’ll probably keep feeling them tomorrow. BUT Mars/Jupiter fall into a trine on Wednesday, so energetic solutions could very well come out of this. Keep The Faith, People.

MOON/18º Libra sextile MERCURY/18º Leo 7:47 am, 10:47 am
People feel good and talk about it.
MOON/24º Libra trine R JUPITER/24º Aquarius 5:28 pm, 8:28 pm
Plan something for Monday Night. A romantic evening with someone special? Another Party? The Moon, Venus, Jupiter/Neptune form a Grand Air Trine linking Gemini, Libra and Aquarius. This could be a very glamourous night! A Memorable Occasion!
MOON/24º Libra trine VENUS/24º Gemini 7:36 pm, 10:36 pm
Venus definitely Rules. Mutual Admiration Society? Talk-a-thon? Praise people and they praise us back! Ask them, What they really love, enjoy, what moves them, excites them and watch them transform! People are exceptionally gracious and charming this evening. How Really Beautiful!
MOON/25º Libra trine R NEPTUNE/25º Aquarius 7:54 pm, 10:54 pm
MOON/25º Libra Void-of-Course 7:54 pm, 10:54 pm
While people are really enjoying the popular crowd, some could be ready to get away from it all for deeper intimacy with a special friend. We could feel the inclusive energy of Libra change to that of greater exclusivity. Some recognize it’s time to take their center off other people and put it back on themselves and what they’re doing.
VENUS/25º Gemini trine R NEPTUNE/25º Aquarius 10:52 pm, 1:52 am
Venus/Neptune bring out magnetism to the Nth degree! Late Night Celebrity Sightings? Some people falling in love?

TUESDAY JULY 28
MOON ENTERS SCORPIO 3:56 am PDST, 6:56 am EDST
Mars/PLUTO Rule. There’s a ruthlessness about Scorpio that could manifest this morning. Perhaps a need to show who’s the boss at the office or at home. Perhaps a determination to Get It Done. There are things that matter and things that don’t. Things or people who are wasting our time. Things we can’t afford.
MOON/1º Scorpio sextile R PLUTO/1º Capricorn 6:03 am, 9:03 am
What costs or expenses can be eliminated? We are ruthless when it comes to what we must live without. People can be ruthless and unsentimental about getting rid of clutter. Or selling investments that are not producing results.
VENUS/26º Gemini square R URANUS/26º Pisces 1:39 pm, 4:39 pm
We could encounter very different or unusual people, not from our usual set, who fluff us up. A little flirtation could make our day. No one expects it to be the start of a long-lasting relationship, not with Venus/Uranus. however, some of you might enjoy an affair that’s Just One Of Those Things!
FIRST QUARTER
MOON/5º 57´ Scorpio square SUN/5º 57´ Leo 3:00 pm, 6:00 pm
WHO’S The Boss? Someone has a bone to pick. Could be some argument over excesses like drinking or smoking that could impact heart health and life-expectancy. Self-indulgent pleasures could drain finances radically or cause jealousy and resentment.
Tonight, people could get involved with a good mystery or a want to see a scary movie. Anything with suspense or the supernatural is a hit. Some will be enthralled by courtroom dramas or

WEDNESDAY JULY 29
MOON/19º Scorpio sextile SATURN/19º Virgo 4:03 pm, 7:03 pm
The Scorpio in all of us keep plugging away on Wednesday, While not much happens astrologically, people can find doing research very satisfying. People are into digging for the truth, getting down to the nitty gritty. We’re looking to push the envelope.

THURSDAY JULY 30
MOON/24º Scorpio square MERCURY/24º Leo 1:07 am, 4:07 am
Late night disagreements and misunderstandings?
MOON/24º Scorpio square R JUPITER/24º Aquarius 1:30 am, 4:30 am
While Scorpio might be cynical about those over-doing the spending, there’s a more selfish side about paying higher taxes, while Jupiter/Neptune in Aquarius have an altruistic vision about helping all the people, because they know the disadvantaged people at the bottom need their voice and their help..
MERCURY/24º Leo opposite R JUPITER/24º Aquarius 3:38 am, 6:38 am
TALK-A-THON? Mercury moves up to interact with Jupiter, then Neptune. Performers are probably riding high on their performance last night or looking forward to continuing performances this weekend.
MOON/25º Scorpio square R NEPTUNE/25º Aquarius 4:30 am, 7:30 am
Our dreams could hang on us this morning. What do they mean? There could be some kind of confusion. Also, some might have alcoholic hang-overs. Neptune’s still about Great Expectations, those Big Dreams, for which Scorpio doesn’t want to pay higher taxes.
MOON/26º Scorpio trine R URANUS/26º Pisces 5:54 am, 8:54 am
MOON/26º Scorpio Void-of-Course 5:54 am, 8:54 am
Thursday morning, stay open to ideas from unusual places, intuitions. Then we feel the
Scorpio energy start to change--the things Scorpio digs up are brought to light in Sagittarius which rules publishing and higher education.
MOON ENTERS SAGITTARIUS 1:10 pm PDST, 4:10 pm EDST
Jupiter Rules! We believe in ourselves. in our luck (especially if we’re worked hard and done our homework) in the blessings of our Divine beliefs, in our personal convictions, theories and the rightness of our own opinions. Salespeople are excited about what they’re selling. Teachers are looking forward to fresh ideas in their field. Baseball players really have got game. (Football players are excited about the preseason too.) Sagittarius also rules Congress and they’re are anxious for the August Recess.

FRIDAY JULY 31
MERCURY/25º Leo opposite R NEPTUNE/25º Aquarius 12:47 am, 3:47 am
Dubious claims? Are we swept away by celebrity or an archetypal image? Does our imagination take hold of what life would be like with Mr. or Miss Wonderful? Are hormones flooding our brains at the sight of them? Great Expectations? Great Disappointments? People could say memorable things. (I will say that Mercury also is quincunx to Uranus/Pisces at 26º. There’s a Mutual Reception with Uranus and Neptune being in each other’s signs. Expect the Unexpected.)
MOON/8º Sagittarius trine SUN/8º Leo 5:51 am, 8:51 am
People really look forward to Friday! This is a confident morning, people are happy, social, out-going and we’re carried all day long on the warmth and energy we feel.
VENUS ENTERS CANCER 6:28 pm, 9:28 pm
Domesticity has a powerful appeal this month. Yes, our Cancer Homeboys and Homegirls will make setting up housekeeping on a long-term basis to be very attractive this month. We want to Be There for the long haul. They truly want to take good care of someone special. Many put their creativity into our homes and garden this month, into doing fun things with their kids. Venus enters Leo on August 26th.

SATURDAY AUGUST 1
MOON/19º Sagittarius square SATURN/19º Virgo 3:44 am, 6:44 am
Hopefully, people will be asleep. Saturn’s worries and fears could pour cold water on Jupiter’s belief in his dreams and convictions. Reality Check? Some might be pulling all-nighters to get it done. People could wake up tired or cranky. Just observe what causes a strong negative emotional reaction in you, because you could be seeing in others the very things that are difficult to acknowledge in yourself.
MOON/23º Sagittarius sextile R JUPITER/23º Aquarius 12:27 pm, 3:27 pm
Jupiter Rules! The Saj Moon makes a happy aspect to Jupiter. Great Day for a Party!
MOON/25º Sagittarius sextile R NEPTUNE/25º Aquarius 4:03 pm, 7:03 pm
We might add a little music to the mix. Or theater. Or dance this afternoon. Enjoy
VENUS/1º Cancer opposite R PLUTO/1º Capricorn 4:34 pm, 7:34 pm
Girls and women had best be aware of attracting the Wrong Kind of Attention today and getting themselves into Big Trouble! Venus/Pluto has a lot to do with violence against women. Rape and assault. I would not go home with anyone I haven’t known a long time and trust tonight. Though some might attract the attention of powerful and dangerous people. In the early morning hours of Sunday, the Moon enters Capricorn setting off this opposition. Women watch your tongues and avoid provoking men, by saying hurtful or ugly things that make people go berserk. Guys too, had best watch it when it comes to hurting the feelings of women. It always takes two to tango or tangle.
MOON/26º Sagittarius square R URANUS/26º Pisces 5:31 pm, 8:31 pm
Upsets? Disruptions? Excitement leading to clumsy accidents? Watch out for foot or ankle injuries at the beach. And stay alert for ANYONE having trouble on or in the water. Fishermen had best be thinking hard of safety on deck! Surfers too! People who can react quickly, calmly and effectively in any kind of a crisis could save lives.
MOON/27º Sagittarius trine MERCURY/27º Leo 10:42 pm. 1:42 am
MOON/27º Sagittarius Void-of-Course 10:42 pm. 1:42 am
This evening, people could Tell It Like It Is and Let It All Hang Out! Everyone has a lot to say! A good party or performance ends on a high, upbeat note with people leaving wanting more. You’ll know when it’s time to say, Good Night. The outgoing social Saj energy is flagging.

SUNDAY AUG 2
MOON ENTERS CAPRICORN 1:08 am PDST, 4:08 am EDST
Saturn Rules. People have fresh energy on Sunday to take care of business, whether that’s getting home safe from a very late night Saturday night party or from a restaurant or music gig, people are serious drivers. When Saturn Rules, it creates Fear. And Fear could protect you in dicey circumstances, sending you unmistakable intuitive warning signals or cause you to slow down on the road and proceed cautiously. Fear will get us moving over the next couple of days--it motivates us to Get Busy!
MOON/1º Capricorn conjunct R PLUTO/1º Capricorn 3:16 am, 6:16 am
We could hear of late night accidents or violence directed at women or young people this morning, as the nearly Full Capricorn Moon sets off the Venus/Pluto opposition.
(Full Moon - Lunar Eclipse on Wednesday 8/5.) Make a quick getaway out of any place that’s dangerous or scary. Call Home ET, ASAP. People could also hear of destructive storms, military attacks or “Acts of God” that impact the lives of many people. Earthquakes? Mass transportation accidents? We might see institutional failures or corporate meltdowns, more job loss, bankruptcies and foreclosures. Arrests, Indictments, sudden departures or loss of reputation and falls from power.
MOON/1º Capricorn opposite VENUS/1º Cancer 4:27 am, 7:27 am
This morning, be glad if you wake up safe and sound at home and in your own bed. Be grateful for your Mom, Dad, your family, for your wife, your husband and kids, for all the women in your life. With the Moon in Capricorn on Sunday, we’re going to get busy planning the week ahead, getting ready for the upcoming school year, maybe embarking on projects to beautify one’s surroundings.
MERCURY ENTERS VIRGO 4:07 pm, 7:07 pm
People WILL be talking about Health Care. Big Time. Everyone should know what to do to Get Well Fast! They will be talking about details and juggling a many small tasks at once. People could make decisions about specialization in their field of endeavor. Mercury/Virgo makes me think of archaeology, all the little fragments they collect and sometimes reassemble with precision to get a picture of an ancient civilization. People are gonna be talking about getting organized, cleaning house. They could want to Do Something about their workplace environment, make decisions about pets. Virgo is about techniques we use to work quickly and efficiently, the skills we get from practice, Mercury will enter Libra August 25th

MONDAY AUG 3
MERCURY/1º Virgo trine R PLUTO/1º Capricorn 7:10 am, 10:10 am
Somebody’s speaking truth to power forcefully? To the insurance companies, to doctors? To lawyers? People can be harsh in their assessments. We can expect Big Changes in Healthcare. Don’t forget to drive carefully this morning. No Wipeouts.
People can expect a tough but productive workday in which people are all business.
MOON/19º Capricorn trine SATURN/19º Virgo 5:08 pm, 8:08 pm
Saturn Rules and some are likely to keep working a little later into the evening. People are thinking of School, not just for their kids, but for themselves. We might be thinking of long-range planning. Taking care of the things on which we’ve Procrastinated. Now is the time to do it! Get the rest you need! Ok, kids best I can do, have a good week.

MOON/26º Pisces Void-of-Course 1:03 am, 4:03 am
People searching for spiritual answers could be Electrified by New Age Ideas or unusual people. Music really MOVES people! Dance thrills us!
MOON ENTERS ARIES 7:40 am PDST, 10:40 am EDST
Mars/Pluto Rule. Youth Rules. Kids want to know, What’s on the agenda? Doing things with young people keeps us young. Sports and board games are big when the Moon’s in Aries. We’re definitely competitive. It’s also a good time to start a new diet exercise regime, behind the waning Moon. Desires pop up with a fiery intensity, but tend to burn out quickly.
MOON/1º Aries sextile MARS/1º Gemini 9:47 am, 12:47 pm
Young people are on the move this morning. The travel bug has bit them. We’re up for Adventure! (Mars--is quincunx to Pluto, 150º, 30º from an opposition. There’s a lot of stress and anger in the air.) Nonetheless, people are On The Move, getting things done.
MOON/1º Aries square R PLUTO/1º Capricorn 10:29 am, 1:29 pm
“Acts of God” even Major Weather Events could put a kibosh on vacation or travel plans. It’s interesting that as soon as we get fresh energy when the Moon changes signs, there’s some kind of a crisis or disaster in the world, thanks to Pluto’s powerful position at the degree of The Winter Solstice. Young People had best Drive Carefully and if they are pulled over by the police, not to argue. NOT a good time to Question Authority as the response can be harsh! Babysitters, keep an extra close watch on little ones! Those who are cruel to children will get punished. At least, I hope so. there’s been so much senseless killing of children on the local news here in Chicago and Indiana that I just have been sickened by it all. Some will take radical action today and make the changes they need to make!
SUN/21º Cancer conjunct MERCURY/21º Cancer 7:16 pm, 10:16 pm
Women define themselves by their emotions. This is who I am, this is how I feel. Our Cancer homeguys also have a lot to say about how they feel and might find this a good night for expressing themselves. Domestic issues come up. Some could be entertaining at home.

TUESDAY JULY 14
MOON/10º Aries sextile VENUS/10º Gemini 2:38 am, 5:38 am
Late Night there’s some chemistry going on, we’re excited by people we meet and take real pleasure in listening to articulate, well-spoken people! I wouldn’t push to have sex tonight, just keep it light. Both Aries and Gemini are looking for companionship, easy-going and fun, not messy over-emotional involvements.
The Moon continues through Aries and people have good energy and a competitive drive. Sports and games are on the agenda. People want to make something happen and will.

You only get ONE Mom. In a real emergency, WHO Ya Gonna Call? Ghostbusters? Hell no, you’re gonna call Mom! Or Dad, or Brother or Sister. Be sure and show some gratitude and appreciation for your Mom and all that she does!
This week, as we head for The New Moon/Solar Eclipse next Tuesday, we’ll want to pull in our auras more, conserve our energy, even though we might not feel like that today with the Moon still in out-going, adventuresome Aries!
MOON/24º Aries square MERCURY/24º Cancer 6:17 am, 9:17 am
We have lots to talk about in the morning. Moms could have a Whole LOT to say to their children. Most of all, they’ll express how much they care and how important the health, success and well-being of their children are to them.
MOON/25º Aries sextile JUPITER/25º Aquarius 7:31 am, 10:31 am
MOON/25º Aries sextile NEPTUNE/25º Aquarius 8:08 am, 11:08 am
MOON/25º Aries Void-of-Course 8:08 am, 11:08 am
Someone has a vision this morning, an inspiration, a dream they want to make happen right away! Starting new projects while the Aries Moon’s Void-of-Course before it changes signs could produce some frustration or unexpected results. Hold onto that dream. Write it down, so you can go at it when the time is right. Don’t lose it.
MOON ENTERS TAURUS 3:30 pm PDST, 6:30 pm EDST
Venus Rules. It’s a whole new atmosphere! People become self-aware, of who and what they are, what they’ve been given in life, especially from their parents, their bodily inheritance, educational opportunities, values and monetary benefits. What we make of ourselves and what we’ve been given is ALL ON US!
MOON/1º Taurus trine R PLUTO/1º Capricorn 6:03 pm, 9:03 pm
Change. People will find it easier to make the changes they need to make now, instead of waiting for the rug to be pulled out from under them. Many are making contingency plans. Our friends in California have spent years making themselves disaster-ready, in case of an earthquake. So have people down in Florida, who really know what hurricanes can do. We’re thinking creatively about new businesses that could address the real needs of people in these hard economic times. Others could be thinking of property investments in this era of foreclosures.

THURSDAY JULY 16
MERCURY/26º Cancer trine R URANUS/26º Pisces 12:33 am, 3:33 am
In the background, Mercury/Uranus spark brainstorms, solid intuitions and breakthroughs in emotional understanding. Women are likely to network with other women in order to glean information. Good ideas travel like wildfire. We continue to work hard with the Moon in Taurus, especially at what we love to do.
MOON/17º Taurus trine SATURN/17º Virgo 11:04 pm, 2:04 am
Call it a day! More likely than not, people will be sound asleep! The Gen-Xers are finding themselves middle aged and the boomers are noting that Old Age is coming up soon and that they will need to reorganize and simplify their lives.

FRIDAY JULY 17
MOON/25º Taurus sextile SUN/25º Cancer 11:46 am, 2:46 am
Could be a lot of us will find this a productive workday. Many will be looking at improving the beauty and comfort of their homes as we approach the weekend.
MOON/25º Taurus square R JUPITER/25º Aquarius 11:54 am, 2:54 pm
MOON/25º Taurus square R NEPTUNE/25º Aquarius 12:43 pm, 3:43 pm
That vision-- keeps coming up. Practical Taurus could take issue with cost, effort and time needed to manifest it.
MOON/26º Taurus sextile R URANUS/26º Pisces 1:48 pm, 4:48 pm
MOON/26º Taurus Void-of-Course 1:48 pm, 4:48 pm
We could be up for socializing and meeting people. Have no expectations and be pleasantly surprised!
MERCURY ENTERS LEO 4:08 pm, 7:08 pm
Stay in awareness of how you speak to people. Don’t act superior or “royal” or arrogant. There can be some proud bragging on the part of parents. Leos innately know that to be beloved, you don’t talk down to people. Leos have what used to be called the common touch, what they say reaches and moves all kinds of people. Mercury’s going to zip through all of Leo by August 2nd.
MOON ENTERS GEMINI 7:41 pm PDST, 10:41 pm EDST
Mercury Rules! Friday’s Great Night for a Party! As people will love to catch each other up on their news and happenings. People will thrive on scintillating conversation and definitely will entertain each other!
MOON/Oº Gemini sextile MERCURY/Oº Leo 8:18 pm, 11:18 pm
Leos love talking about themselves, or hearing gossip about others.

SATURDAY JULY 18
MOON/4º Gemini conjunct MARS/4º Gemini 3:05 am, 6:05 am
Did someone say Road-trip? Somebody getting up early to go fishing? Or to catch a plane? Head for an all day Rock Festival? Everyone may want to get away from it all! Get in the car, go for a drive and see where you end up.
SUN/26º Cancer trine R URANUS/26º Pisces 5:36 pm, 8:36 pm
Our home guys and home girls could sing the fish out of the sea. Fine night to go out to dance. To meet New People. Or even to entertain at home.
MOON/12º Gemini conjunct VENUS/12º Gemini 9:06 pm, 12:06 am
Venus/Gemini might well be center stage with popularity this evening, but could shy away from emotional entanglements. Keep it light and fun. Don’t hang onto Venus/Gemini or push for greater intimacy. Venus is 5º from squaring-off with Saturn/Virgo.
There’s tiredness and reserve. Offer a ride home and say, Good Night.

SUNDAY JULY 19
MOON/17º Gemini square SATURN/17º Virgo 1:38 am, 4:38 am
We may feel Saturn long before this hour. Don’t be Asleep at The Wheel tonight! If people make off-the-wall criticisms, Consider The Source! What unseen burden or unvoiced worries is that person carrying? Think twice about voicing criticisms of others. The faults you see may be ones you need to acknowledge in yourself.
MOON/25º Gemini trine R JUPITER/25º Aquarius 1:07 pm, 4:07 pm
MOON/25º Gemini trine R NEPTUNE/25º Aquarius 2:09 pm, 5:09 pm
Sunday, we are creative as can be. Perfect day to having fun scatting lyrics at the beach in My Favorite Town and singing everything there is to sing.
MOON/26º Gemini square R URANUS/26º Pisces 3:12 pm, 6:12 pm
MOON/26º Gemini Void-of-Course Pisces (V/C) 3:12 pm, 6:12 pm
Sudden crisis at the beach? WHO KNOWS CPR? I hope you do! Slow down and watch your step! Foot and ankle injuries? Or unusual or inebriated people scatter the crowd?
People could tire of superficial small talk with the Gemini Moon V/C and long for more meaningful in depth conversation. Chill out.
I’d like all of you to note that Uranus is only 5º from squaring-off with Pluto making me think of Sudden Accidents or Highway Fatalities. Get home safe!
MOON ENTERS CANCER 8:51 pm PDST, 11:51 pm EDST
The Moon Rules. Many of us are extra glad to be completely at home tonight. There’s fresh energy in the air, we feel the Mighty Yin Within. People will feel fully aware of their own emotional authenticity and are fully in the here and now. Some may feel insecure and vulnerable, if they have not sat down with themselves and honestly and soberly looked at their own words and actions from the past. We are glad to have good relations with our families, friends, our community and the people in our immediate environment.
MOON/1º Cancer opposite R PLUTO/1º Capricorn 10:58 pm, 1:58 am
Emotional Upheavals. There could be yet another crisis involving Jobs and Homes. So many are still unemployed. And many of those are really desperate. Some so desperate as to consider crime, theft, home invasions, even murder. Karma. Karma. Karma. Let’s not forget that Pluto indicated events beyond the control of any individual, such as weather events. Or even mass-actions like those in Iran.

MONDAY JULY 20
The Moon’s still in Cancer
Many may still be feeling the emotional impact of Pluto from last night. And although the Cancer Moon makes no aspects to other planets it is NOT Void-of-Course. People will get busy working on their homes and gardens, spending time with their children, as school is just a few weeks away for many.
MERCURY/6º Leo sextile MARS/6º Gemini 4:32 pm, 7:32 pm
People will be talking about where they want to go, their vacation plans for the month of August. Slow down on the road home and stay alert.
Tomorrow night’s the Total Solar Eclipse/New Moon, at 29º 27´ Cancer, right ON the Cancer/Leo cusp of the Mighty (Moon) Yin and the Mighty (Sun) Yang. Give your parents some quality time. We won’t see it here in the US. But those in Calcutta, Varanasi, Kathmandu, Shanghai and Wutan will see the totality, as it crosses Northern India, eastern Nepal, southern China and heads out over the Pacific Ocean. It is said that it will be the longest-lasting total solar eclipse in the 21st century, until 2132 according the The Celestial Guide. Some say that the recent violent protests of the ethnic Uighurs against the Han in Western China are due to this upcoming eclipse as that area is directly in the path of the eclipse.

MONDAY JULY 6, 2009
MOON/5º Capricorn opposite MERCURY/5º Cancer 6:35 am, 9:35 am
Women speak truth to power about their domestic or work situation and are amazingly articulate and effective. They intuitively go to the crux of the matter.
MARS/26º Taurus square R NEPTUNE/26º Aquarius 7:43 am, 10:43 am
Mars/Neptune, which have moved up to this 90º angle over the weekend. Guys who use drugs or drink to excess could have problems with impotence. Time for Viagra?
Mars/Neptune could also instill a great deal of idealism, like the kind Don Quixote had, which some might see as delusional. Desperate people think they can swindle others. Mars/Taurus is stubborn and can call people on their scams. Also, people could act out of mistaken beliefs.
MARS/26º Taurus square R JUPITER/26º Aquarius 1:49 pm, 4:49 pm
People will have tremendous energy for sports and sex. Warm up thoroughly. Older athletes could overdo the exercise and suffer pulled muscles or sprains.

TUESDAY JULY 7
MARS/26º Taurus sextile SR URANUS/26º Pisces 12:46 am, 3:46 am
With Mars/Uranus in the background, as well as Mars/Neptune, Mars/Jupiter, there’s a need to make something happen.
LUNAR ECLIPSE - FULL MOON
MOON/15º 24´ Capricorn opposite SUN/15º 24´ Cancer 2:21 am, 5:21 am
Eclipses always come in pairs. It will be followed by a New Moon - Solar Eclipse two weeks from now on July 21st at 29º 27´ Cancer. This sure has been a hard time for the Cardinal signs, Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn. Big Ambitions have gotten a Reality Check! The security and safety we feel in our homes doesn’t feel quite so solid tonight.
The desire to project the appearance of success, wealth, prestige and influence in the world and by our homes could be thwarted by trying to be something we’re not. We may think our stuff defines us, but the clothes, the burnables and breakables can tie us down.
MOON/17º Capricorn trine SATURN/17º Virgo 5:46 am, 8:46 am
Most people are up early to work and intend to accomplish a lot. They show great determination, show ambition to find the right job fit, their niche in the scheme of things. We work our skills today and do our work efficiently and capably. This evening, as the Capricorn Moon puts some distance on Saturn, people might be quietly working their talents, practicing their practice, mastering or learning new skills.

WEDNESDAY JULY 8
MOON/26º Capricorn sextile R URANUS/26º Pisces 1:08 am, 4:08 am
Late night, we stay open to meeting people, or desire to meet them in our dreams. We may have incredible intuitions or sudden inspirations this morning.
MOON/27º Capricorn trine MARS/27º Taurus 2:43 am, 5:43 am
MOON/27º Capricorn Void-of-Course 2:43 am, 5:43 am
While some people are thinking of sex or having some, others will be preoccupied with
with material ambitions.
MOON ENTERS AQUARIUS 8:03 am PDST, 11:03 am EDST
Uranus/Saturn Rule. It’s a whole new feeling in the air this morning of freedom. We’re ready to let go of stuff that ties us down. Aquarius is big on recycling and resonates to the Native American concept of Potlatch in which people give away what they don’t need to those who do. Stuff takes effort to maintain, store and secure and that takes time and money. The Aquarius in everyone is non-possessive about relationships as well. They don’t need to own beautiful objects to enjoy them.
MOON/3º Aquarius trine VENUS/3º Gemini 4:06 pm, 7:06 pm
People come alive when they talk about what they love, what excites them, what they enjoy. It’s a great thing when people find common interests or shared perspectives, they get validated. Oh, you really understand! We’re on the same page!

THURSDAY JULY 9
The just waning Full Moon’s in Aquarius all day--
We’ll coast on a sense of ourselves as independent smart people, who might just be non-conformists. People don’t want to shop or acquire anything. Less is more.
SUN/17º Cancer sextile SATURN/17º Virgo 12:10 am, 3:10 am
We could spend the day hard at work, getting organized around the house, or getting our office work finished. Staying busy keeps worries at bay.

FRIDAY JULY 10
R JUPITER/R NEPTUNE conjunct 26º Aquarius 2:08 am, 5:08 am
This is the second Jupiter/Neptune conjunction of three in 2009. The first was 5/27, and the last will be 12/21 at the Winter Solstice. You ought to hear my 92 year old Mom carry on about the DTV transition, which she’s declared is a huge national scam. Even seven miles away from The Loop downtown, Mom can’t pull in Chicago’s ABC or CBS on her new little HDTV or her new antenna. (A huge scheme to help the economy to make people buy things they really don’t need?) She doesn’t want to pay for cable. She likes things fine just the way they were.
Jupiter/Neptune, even Retrograde in Aquarius, indicate a terrific time to premiere a movie, debut a music video, launch a fundraising campaign for a good cause, debut new technology.
Money spent on and profits derived from from gas/oil concerns us. So does the promise of return on heavy investments in alternative fuels or in wind and solar. Countries like Germany were able to make the huge investment in widespread solar and wind when times were good. Coulda. Woulda. Shoulda.
Still, there are amazing breakthroughs in medicine and science. Aquarians are often The “Science Guys.” Like growing diamonds to replace silicone in computers and electric systems. And of course, the growing interest in new Tesla-inspired Zero Point Technologies, Magnetic Motors and the like, in which we don’t need to burn or pollute with fuel or pay a high utilities bill.
Jupiter/Neptune bring a need for a Grand Vision of The Future. Don’t forget that Jupiter/Neptune brings Big Expectations and Huge Optimism and more often than not even Bigger Disappointments, because there needs to be a recognition of realistic limitations. Or a Plan B. You may hear someone say, “Well, it was nice while it lasted.” Maybe even someone like Bernie Madoff or other Fraudster wannabes! You could also hear all too often, “Mammy, SAVE Me!” or “SomeBODY save me!” Jupiter Rules Sagittarius and Neptune and Jupiter Rule Pisces. Some might expect religion to save them or a rich man or woman, or hitting the lottery. Most will find luck tends to happens to people who have paid their dues and worked their ass off to make it happen.
MOON/26º Aquarius conjunct R JUPITER/26º Aquarius 12:42 pm, 3:42 pm
MOON/26º Aquarius conjunct R NEPTUNE/26º Aquarius 12:45 pm, 3:45 p
It’s FRIDAY! People are talking about movies they want to see, concerts they have scheduled, parties they’re attending, benefits and good causes they’re supporting! They’ll also be talking about those free spirit, non-conformist celebrities and all of us could be free spirit, non-conformists letting it all hang out. Including those Bodacious Bolinas BOriginals! People will be so creatively inspired, their imagination will be full of great new ideas!
MOON/29º Aquarius square MARS/29º Taurus 7:17 pm, 10:17 pm
MOON/29º Aquarius Void-of-Course 7:17 pm, 10:17 pm
Tempers are likely to erupt. Someone can be stubbornly demanding or possessive of someone whose independence is the most important thing they prize.
MOON ENTERS PISCES 8:44 pm PDST, 11:44 pm EDST
Neptune/Jupiter Rule. Music is likely on the Agenda Saturday Night. Dance too! So are theater and movies! Though sometimes, Pisces Moons can make people feel vulnerable and insecure, so they compensate with liquid courage... which can delay and exacerbate the problems they’re avoiding.
MOON/1º Pisces sextile R PLUTO/1º Capricorn 11:47 pm, 2:47 am
Pluto blows minds late night. Powerful people could attract us, Pluto makes me think of lawyers and lawbreakers and law enforcement.

SATURDAY JULY 11
MOON/7º Pisces square VENUS/7º Gemini 10:44 am, 1:44 pm
Bad Hair Day? Making comparisons and contrasts between yourself and others is not going to do you any good. If you’re dissatisfied with your appearance, Do Something About It! If relationships are “disappointing” it’s up to you to recognize that you are responsible for your own happiness. Allow others to be their own phenomena and you be your own great phenomenon!
MERCURY/17º Cancer sextile SATURN/17º Virgo 6:55 pm, 9:55 pm
Offer advice ONLY when asked. People are likely to get themselves organized for the evening ahead, and accomplish one or two practical things, so they can feel more free to fully enjoy themselves.
MARS ENTERS GEMINI 7:56 pm, 10:56 pm
WHO wants to get away from it all? Those with Mars/Gemini definitely have the travel bug, but they also can make excellent Sportswriters and Salesmen. They spur their followers to action behind their convincing arguments, then abruptly, even impetuously, can take the opposite tack for the sake of argument. They might recognize a paradox that when it comes to strongly held opinions, the opposite might be equally true.

SUNDAY JULY 12
MOON/17º Pisces opposite SATURN/17º Virgo 7:25 am, 10:25 am
People will have a hard time getting out of bed this morning. While some could use an attitude adjustment, some could be feeling ill with allergies or a cold. Err on the side of caution and take some extra vitamins. Stay in awareness about venting criticism, as you could tend to notice the faults or flaws in others that you haven’t acknowledged in
yourself. Consider The Source when it’s dished on you! People can be carrying unseen burdens and unvoiced worries.
MOON/18º Pisces trine MERCURY/18º Cancer 9:58 am, 12:58 pm
MOON/20º Pisces trine SUN/20º Cancer 1:30 pm, 4:30 pm
Today is a great day to pencil in deep conversation with friends and family. We’re ready to really listen to one another, we’re open and receptive to the yin side of ourselves. Our spiritual side is deeply touched today. People could be keenly aware that everyone’s life has a finite duration.

MONDAY JULY 13
MOON/26º Pisces conjunct R URANUS/26º Pisces 1:03 am, 4:03 am
MOON/26º Pisces Void-of-Course 1:03 am, 4:03 am
People searching for spiritual answers could be Electrified by New Age Ideas or unusual people. Music really MOVES people! Dance thrills us!
MOON ENTERS ARIES 7:40 am PDST, 10:40 am EDST
Mars/Pluto Rule. Youth Rules. Kids want to know, What’s on the agenda? Doing things with young people keeps us young. Sports and board games are big when the Moon’s in Aries. We’re definitely competitive. It’s also a good time to start a new diet exercise regime, behind the waning Moon. Desires pop up with a fiery intensity, but tend to burn out quickly.
MOON/1º Aries sextile MARS/1º Gemini 9:47 am, 12:47 pm
Young people are on the move this morning. The travel bug has bit them. We’re up for Adventure!
MOON/1º Aries square R PLUTO/1º Capricorn 10:29 am, 1:29 pm
“Acts of God” could put a kibosh on vacation or travel plans. It’s interesting that as soon as we get fresh energy when the Moon changes signs, there’s some kind of a crisis or disaster in the world, thanks to Pluto’s powerful position at the degree of The Winter Solstice. Young People had best Drive Carefully and if they are pulled over by the police, not to argue. NOT a good time to Question Authority as the response can be harsh! Babysitters, keep an extra close watch on little ones! Those who are cruel to children will get punished.
SUN/21º Cancer conjunct MERCURY/21º Cancer 7:16 pm, 10:16 pm
Women define themselves by their emotions. This is who I am, this is how I feel.
