Well, we’ve been though quite in the last year and a half since Pluto, the planet of change, death, and rebirth, went into the sign of Capricorn on November 28, 2008 at the world axis, which impacts global changes.  Capricorn rules institutions, government, capitalism, and authority.  We have seen several changes in all of those areas on a global level. Pluto’s orbit is approximately every 248 years, and the last time we had Pluto in the sign of Capricorn, we experienced the American Revolution.

Well, that was the initial impetus for global change, which began in November 2008, and it  was just the beginning.  To add to that, Saturn, which represents karma, the past,responsibility, foundation, and endings, went into the sign of Libra, which is the sign of partnerships and relationships.  It retrograded back to the sign of Virgo, on March 26th, 2010, so Virgos are getting their final Saturn journey and are resolving any unfinished business in their lives.  Saturn will return to the sign of Libra at 0 degrees, which is the world axis, on July 22nd, 2010.  Saturn will remain in the sign of Libra until October 6, 2012.

Saturn is another outer planet, which makes us assess what is important in our lives. In this respect, it is partnerships.  The cardinal signs are the ones, which are really getting hit, and those are the signs of Capricorn, Cancer, Libra, and Aries.  If there are things, which are destructive, Saturn will make you end these cycles and patterns, in order to build more structure in your lives.

We experienced another monumental change this past week, when Uranus, which rules upheaval, revolt, the new, chaos, technology, and invention, and innovation, went to 0 degree of Aries, another world axis point. The last time Uranus was in the sign of Aries was from 1927 until 1934, when we experienced the Great Depression.   Look at this past week as a pre-cursor to what the next 8 years hold for you.  Uranus will briefly return to the sign of Pisces, which is endings, from August 15th until March 13, 2011.

One very auspicious aspect, which is heating up now is the Jupiter/Uranus conjunction, and this means unexpected good fortune and abundance.  Aries is the sign of new beginnings; and ,with Uranus, the planet of technology and advancement in this sign, we can expect great technological progress, and more empowerment for people to work for themselves. Aries is an impatient sign. With this combination, and with Uranus in Aries, change will happen quickly.  People born at the beginning of the signs of Aries, Cancer,Libra and Capricorn will feel LOTS of change with these influences, and Jupiter could help to bring unexpected, pleasant surprises for everyone.

Uranus also represents upheaval and tumult, and Aries is ruled by Mars, the god of war; so, there could be escalation on a global level of that, as well.   Jupiter and Uranus are going to dance together for a few months, and that helps to deflect some of the more difficult aspects we have this summer. We have 3 direct hits of it: June 6th marks the first and is exact through June 14th in the sign of Aries.  Uranus returns to the sign of Pisces on August 15th, and Jupiter returns to Pisces again on September 1st;they will be exactly conjunct from September 10th through September 24th at late degrees of Pisces, and then again from December 28th until January 10th, 2010.

We have also have two major Eclipses, which are in the works.  There is a Lunar Eclipse on June 26, 2010 at 4 degrees of Capricorn, and it exactly conjoins Pluto, the planet of death and rebirth.  This will be a very intense Lunar Eclipse, which in and of itself is an extra powerful new moon, especially since Pluto is involved.  At this time, there will be many break ups, endings, heavy emotions, especially for the cardinal signs of Capricorn, Cancer, Libra, and Aries.  Since, it’s close to the world axis, and Uranus, which is violence and upheaval will be at the world axis, there most likely will be a lot of  chaos and more ongoing protests throughout the world.  If something is not working in your life, this most likely is the time to let it go.

Following that is a total Solar Eclipse on July 11, 2010 at 19 degrees of Cancer.  Solar Eclipses are a time of new beginnings and are extra powerful new moons.  This is a time to invoke and commence new projects, launch things, make plans, etc.  This is a great time to do the Law of Abundance, which I will enclose at the end.

One final thing to add to this is that we are going to have a T-Square, which is a difficult planetary pattern, of the outer planets all close to the cardinal and world axis. It involves Jupiter, Uranus, Saturn, and Pluto, and this will impact us strongly from June, 2010 until August of 2010.  Again, this is a call for all of us both individually and collectively to make positive changes, as this planetary alignment will wake us up and force us to make changes in our lives.  This will be an extremely big time in all of our lives, as we’ve yet to experience this lineup of planets.  Below are the instructions for the total Solar Eclipse on July 11, 2010 to bring positive new beginnings and abundance in your own lives, and it is a great day for breaking bad habits, whether they are people or patterns.  Blessings to all of us.

Hi, Everyone,

I’ve started to feel a bit like the “Doom and Gloom” astrologer because every time I have a newsletter, I have some more challenges to report.  However, if we look at the world around us, there are extremely heavy global issues, which don’t belie the astrological cycles: Simply put, we have a lot of work to do!

Since October 23rd, 2009, we have felt the challenging influence of Pluto, which is the planet of transformation, major beginnings, endings, and obsessiveness, making a challenging influence to Saturn, which is structure, capitalism, big business, responsibility, and karma.  Interestingly enough, many of us are having to shed our big lifestyles, our goals for success and what they really mean, in order to transform ourselves on the individual level.

This summer, Pluto, the planet of Death and Regeneration was at the world axis, and many thought of it as “The Summer of Death” for celebrities, as there was one report after the other of another celebrity passing.  This fall, it came to the individual influence, as the world axis literally impacts all of us, and many have gone through break ups, big challenges, deaths, loss, joblessness, etc.  It has not been an easy time. It’s a time of detoxing from many of our habits and belief systems, in order to improve the world, our culture,our lives, and literally the earth.  We’ve abused ourselves, our resources, and our environment.

This past few months, we’ve been entrenched in the health care debate, and many are at strife and angry.  This, too is Saturn square Pluto, as Saturn represents the government, among other things, and again at the world axis — many are feeling it, fearing it, angered by it, etc.  This Pluto/Saturn square became exact on November 8, 2009, Since then, President Obama announced on December 1, 2009 that we are sending more troops to Afghanistan, which will cost approximately 30 billion dollars and should be out of the war by July of 2011.

Again, this is very frightening news in the world and in America, and it’s again about the re-structuring of Pluto/Saturn, but it’s very frightening as those are both very intense and often malefic energies, and they can bring much destruction and death.  For the first time in my years of reading on websites and phone readings, etc., I’m getting calls about the health care debate, the war, and things that matter outside of ourselves and whether or not he or she may call.  Again, it’s a re-structuring or our values and taking responsibility for our actions, as Saturn represents Karma.

Another thing worth mention is that Saturn, which is the planet of responsibility and hard work, went into the sign of Libra, which rules relationships and partnerships, on October 30th.  This emphasizes the importance of relationships — what we give and what we receive, and the balance of the two. Librans, in particular, will feel this energy this next two years;but, it also impacts the other cardinal signs, which are Aries, Cancer, and Capricorn.  These four signs, in particular, will go through much change this next two years.

Two other things, which are important to mention is that Mercury, which rules all things which transmit information, computers, phones, communication, and modes of transportation like cars, is going retrograde in the sign of Capricorn from December 26th until January 13th, so things could be a little off kilter during that time, items arriving late, computer and phone problems, etc.  Try to do your big purchases before and after.

We also have two major eclipses; The first of the two is a Lunar Eclipse at 10 degrees of Capricorn on December 31st, which also happens to be a blue moon( a second full moon in one month.)  This could be a bit stormy and emotional relationship wise, as we get to the latter half of the month, and again the signs of Capricorn, Cancer, Libra, and Aries, will feel it in particular.  If things are rocky, and you really want to try to work it out, wait a bit till this cumbersome energy wanes a few weeks later.
