December 2006: Pisces Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
December
Overview. Until the 22nd, the Sun illuminates your solar tenth house–the most visible sector in your chart. It’s a time when matters regarding your reputation, career, and public standing come to the fore–the time of year when you are most wrapped up in “taking care of business”, duties and responsibilities, and professional concerns. More than any other time of the year, your focus is drawn to your “place” in the outer world, your reputation, and your standing in society. This is the time when you are more interested in, and focused on, accomplishing something important. Your competency is something that you are especially sensitive to during this cycle, which began in November. You want to shine. Recognition is likely to come your way whether you ask for it or not, and the responsibility that comes with it. Do what you feel is right, keeping in mind that you are at your most visible during this period in the year.
From the 22nd, the Sun puts a spotlight on your sector of friends, groups, and dreams coming true. It’s a friendly transit, when connections can be made and networking pays off. Being part of a community or circle of friends and building your social network is important to you at this time. You are more stimulated by all that is unconventional during this cycle, and your ideas are especially original and progressive now. You may spend more time than usual thinking about the future–your long-term goals as well as achieving some of your dreams. This is a good time for you to explore what kinds of projects you’d like to explore in the next year.
You are especially accountable for your actions this month. Everyone seems to be looking over your shoulder, observing what you do and what you are capable of. This is one of the busiest times of the year professionally, when you are in high demand. Support from behind the scenes or from an unlikely source is likely to come to you. A family member demands your attention around the 4th. Take advantage of the 10th, when you are recognized for the work you have done, and the 19th, when a partner opportunity arises.
In the first half of the month, enthusiastic energy as well as a brand new, exciting perspective is brought to your career or public life. Your career might take a new direction, or there could be a sudden flurry of business activity now. A renewed sense of purposefulness and responsibility comes now. This newfound vigor can mean a very hectic but energizing schedule, an inspiring and revealing conversation with an authority figure, or a new professional opportunity altogether.
This month, three inner planets (the Sun, Mercury, and Venus) align with Pluto and also form a harmonious trine to Saturn. With Saturn in your solar sixth and Pluto in your solar tenth, this can be a highly productive period. Your sometimes Herculean efforts, paying close attention to performance and to details, will not go unrewarded! Some of your most natural talents–the things that come easy–also meet with reward and acceptance. Sometimes in life, those with their nose to the grindstone can be overlooked. Not so for you now and into 2007. The details and the “little things” make all the difference. Perfecting your particular craft is natural now. Some of you may find that your career is moving towards a more service-oriented direction. This link is a long-term trend that occurs again next August and is in effect until then. Determination, perseverance, and a deep sense of purposefulness are brought to your professional life–you are able to establish long-term, meaningful professional ties. The dates in December when you could see initial benefits, or at least hints of things to come, occur on the 6-8, 16-18, and 24-25.
Your ruler, Neptune, forms some very pleasing aspects this month, and on the days that it does, you are likely to feel supported, appreciated, inspired, and gently challenged. These periods are the 1st, 9-10, 19, and 30-31. The 1st brings easy acceptance, particularly on a professional level, but it also extends to personal pursuits. The 9-10 finds you recognized for your competency, authority, or sense of responsibility. It’s feel-good energy. Good news or a rewarding conversation could come your way on the 19th. It’s also an opportune time to present your ideas. The 30-31 is a strong period for all personal initiatives, as well as for finances. Many positive connections between your tenth house and twelfth house suggests that work done behind the scenes may be revealed or incorporated into your career or public life. Past efforts pay off now. Red flag periods–when you are not received as well as you would like, or are prone to impulsive, hasty, or ill-timed behavior, occur on the 12-13 and 29. Avoid scheduling important events on these days, if you can.
This is an excellent period for personal finances, and for taking responsibility for what you own and earn. The most opportune periods of the month for finances include the 9-12 and 27-31. Speculation and new financial initiatives are best avoided on the 20-22. Financial challenges are possible now.
As far as romantic and creative matters go, opportunities to enhance or attract romance occur on the 6, 16, and 25. These periods represent power days for personal magnetism, charisma, and creativity. Issues that could be annoying or disconcerting concerning romantic matters are more likely to occur on the 11, 19, and 27. These would be less than ideal days to go on a first date, for example. For more serious partnerships, very positive energy is with you in December. Long-term relationships tend to thrive on the 9-10, 12, and 25. Tensions in close partnerships are more likely on the 4, 15, 22, and 29.
Better times to schedule job interviews or health appointments, and for success and happiness on the job, occur on the 9-10 and 16-18. Red flag periods for these matters occur on the 2-3, 12-14, 24, and 31, when you should probably avoid scheduling health appointments or job interviews if feasible. Matters related to your career and reputation are exceptionally strong this month, and are most favorable on the 9-12 and 26-27.
While Venus is in your tenth house (until the 11th), you are most charming and well-received on the job. Your responsibility and authority are likeable qualities now, making this a favorable period overall for schmoozing with those in a higher position than you, as well as for negotiations or social activities related to business.
Venus is in your friendship sector from the 11th. The areas of life where you are most likely to express your social, romantic, and artistic qualities during this period are through forming harmonious, warm social friendships – probably related to group activities within a club. You may meet someone through such group activities; consequently, your interests will be shared. Whether or not you do, the bottom line is that sharing interests with someone is what makes you happy during this cycle. Venus here enlivens your friendships and group associations with charm and grace. You are more peace-loving than usual and slightly detached on a personal level. If a romance were to occur during this time frame, it would be characterized by a strong feeling of camaraderie, but it could also be rather impersonal and perhaps lacking in depth and intimacy.
Mercury is in your career and reputation from the 8th, bringing rational and logical energy to your public life. You tend to think about your position or standing on a professional level more frequently during this cycle. You are likely doing some multi-tasking regarding career and business matters, as your career requires more communication than usual. You speak with authority during this cycle, and you are more accountable than usual for what (and how) you communicate. Your ideas may come into public view now. Use the power of words to influence authority figures. You might draw upon your executive ability now. It’s an excellent period in which to analyze career strategies, moves, and prospects. Negative use of this influence would be to worry unnecessarily about your reputation and responsibilities.
Mercury transits your solar eleventh house from the 27th. Your mental and communicative abilities will largely be applied to the pursuit of truth, mainly through the mental companionship of friends, during this period. Intuitive insights and original reasoning ability produce the occasional touch of genius – you often comprehend issues that others find quite incomprehensible during this cycle! Your objective and original thinking can be used for the scientific investigation of advanced metaphysical concepts and humanitarian ideals – or other profound issues that could lead humanity towards a better future. You could also do a lot of thinking and musing about your own happiness and long-term goals.
Mars energizes your career sector from the 6th, bringing dynamic energy to all career, professional, and public matters. This transit stimulates your ambition and/or your desire to be recognized for your accomplishments. Whether it’s professional or personal, you are likely to have an increased desire for others to notice you. This can be a good time to become self-employed or start a business if other factors (and Mars itself) are favorable. Conflicts with those in authority are possible now. You may pour more energy into self-promotion or business/career activities. You could easily discover that your talents or services are especially in demand now. Courage, ambition, energy, enterprise, force, emotional involvement, business acumen, and a strong perhaps even compulsive drive for success can lead to professional recognition. You always like to see practical results for your efforts and take pride in doing a job correctly, and this is a good cycle in which to show your leadership skills. Don’t, however, allow your enterprising nature to be interpreted as aggressiveness or insensitivity.
Hectic, yes, but December’s challenges are also invigorating. While you don’t always feel comfortable in the limelight, your success this month depends very much on your willingness to put yourself “out there”. Overall, the best period of the month for you is the last week of December, when you feel energetically supported by circumstances and by those around you. You also feel particularly confident on mental and communicative levels, and your ideas and insights are generally received well. From the 11-19, your charm is especially well-received.
Highlights:
November 30-December 1 Monthly money and income peak. You’re looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don’t have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up nowthe discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.
December 2-3 Hard aspects operative now include Sun-Uranus, Venus-Chiron, and Mercury-Saturn. Negative thinking and expectations, as well as a generally rebellious mood, are not conducive to easy relating. Avoid pushing matters just now, particularly with a close partner or co-worker. Speculative pursuits should be saved for a better date.
December 4 Full Moon in Gemini in your solar fourth house. Some sort of fulfillment, culmination, or revelation regarding your desires or new initiatives at the last New Moon on November 20th occurs now. The last two weeks have found you working hard towards your career goals and other public matters. The demands of your personal life are now paramount. Striking a balance between energy spent on work and energy spent on domestic matters is essential now. Balanced attention to your public and personal lives is what you need to focus on. It’s time to prioritize. Otherwise, you run the risk of over-extending yourself. A home, family, or property matter could grab your complete attention at this time.
December 6-7 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.
December 6-8 Venus joins with Pluto and trines Saturn. Passions are strong and intense, but controlled. A new sense of responsibility in our social relationships is with us, and it’s of a pleasant variety–we feel renewed, committed, and dedicated. Solid proof of commitment gives us a deep feeling of purposefulness and meaning. An opportunity to stabilize and strengthen a social or romantic bond arises now. In your case, this configuration occurs in your career, work, and health sectors, making this a strong opportunity period for professional and productivity matters. Relationships are imbued with a deep sense of trust, maturity, and respect now, particularly those with authority or co-workers. Sincerity and depth are most important to you just now in your relationships, particularly professional ones. New responsibilities concerning your commitments to your ambitions and to your job or health and fitness may arrive now, but they give you a strong sense of meaning and purposefulness. This is an outstanding period for committing to a nutrition, fitness, or other health regime. This is also a strong opportunity period for shared finances (loans, taxes, or any money that doesn’t come directly from personal efforts) as well as communications of all kinds.
December 9-12 Mercury, Mars, and Jupiter align, and the Sun sextiles Neptune. Tremendous enthusiasm, newfound vigor, and optimism characterize this period. We are inspired, hungry for new experiences, and eager to share our ideas with others. Enthusiastic energy as well as a brand new, exciting perspective is brought to your career or public life. Your career might take a new direction, or there could be a sudden flurry of business activity now. A renewed sense of purposefulness and responsibility comes now. This newfound vigor can mean a very hectic but invigorating schedule, an inspiring and revealing conversation with an authority figure, or a new professional opportunity altogether.
December 11-12 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it’s time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won’t work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it’s best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.
December 15-18 The Sun joins with Pluto and trines Saturn; Mercury squares Uranus; Venus sesquiquadrates Saturn. The best way to use this energy to your advantage would be to focus on your commitment to your long-term goals. Hold off on major decision-making, saving it for a more auspicious time. Working on projects already in progress with an eye to your future is best now; research is especially rewarding. Ideally, you should be focusing on career and reputation objectives. Wait until after the New Moon on the 20th, however, to begin new initiatives, particularly those that involve home and family, communications, and joint finances. Focus on research for the time being. Avoid financial initiatives if possible. While you may be able to solidify a work matter now, family and partnership matters may be unpredictable at best, and you could also be taken off guard by new responsibilities with joint finances.
December 18-19 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you’re noticed for what you’ve done or haven’t done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don’t be afraid to show others exactly what you’re made of. You’re at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.
December 19-20 Venus sextiles Uranus and Mercury sextiles Neptune. Pay special attention to your intuition now. We happily embrace all that is new, unusual, and out-of-the-ordinary during this period. For you, this is a strong period for joint finances, or any money that comes from sources other than your personal income, communications, family and home matters, and partnerships. Strong and pleasant communications from or about a friend is likely. This is an excellent period for attracting or strengthening a partnership.
December 20 New Moon in late Sagittarius in your solar tenth house affects you until the next New Moon. This New Moon carries with it the potential for tremendous growth and transformation. This cycle represents an opportunity to find ways to transcend the mundane details of day-to-day life and nurture our faith, commitment, hope, and vision. Heightened sensitivity to your standing in society and your goals for constructive progress are highlighted this month. It’s a good time to develop new business plans and goals, assuming the New Moon is not very afflicted, and a sense of renewal and reinvigoration with regards to your career goals is a potential. It is a time to focus on the elements of your personality that you are projecting to society and as a professional. Goals for self-mastery and self-discipline should be made at this time. This is a phase when you will be busy with career and/or public responsibilities.
December 21-22 Mars squares Uranus. It’s challenging to focus on any one particular task. Rebelliousness and impatience with rules and restrictions could get the best of us. For you, there could be some tension regarding the demands of career getting in the way of your personal initiatives. Unpredictable financial matters could leave you feeling insecure or frustrated. Avoid stirring up more trouble than necessary now–many people aren’t in the most cooperative of moods.
December 24-25 Mercury joins with Pluto and trines Saturn. This is a time when we may share ideas, feelings, or thoughts that we normally keep hidden. Research brings rewards, new insights into old problems invites progress, and the uncovering of previously hidden information is inspiring. Thoughts, ideas, and communications are more intense and focused. We are more able, and motivated, to find hidden meanings and to cut to the chase. Efficiency and relevancy become important. This is an especially strong period for you in terms of gaining insight into your career and reputation. An eye-opening conversation or discovery may figure now. Very strong opportunities for family, home, and partnerships or negotiations arise now.
December 25-26 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It’s all about you now, so it’s time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.
December 27-28 Monthly money and income peak. You’re looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don’t have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up nowthe discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.
December 28-29 Hard aspects operative now include Venus-Jupiter and Mercury-Neptune. Jupiter sextiles Chiron. This is a dreamy period when pie-in-the-sky thinking tends to dominate. Excess is a strong inclination, with little thought about the consequences! While you may enjoy some wonderful professional connections, you could be inclined to feel misunderstood on a personal level. Enjoy yourself, but avoid going over the top.

November 2006: Pisces Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
November
Overview. Until the 22nd, the Sun illuminates your adventure sector. Your focus turns outward, away from the more personal concerns that have occupied your thoughts in the last months. More than any other time during the year, you are feeling most adventurous and willing to take a leap of faith. This is a cycle in which you seek a higher meaning to your life, and/or seek out new experiences that take you beyond the here and now, and beyond the mundane details of day-to-day life. Anything that broadens your experiences attracts now. A lack of superficiality finds you straight to the point, interested in the truth of things. It would be wise for you to consider scheduling a vacation, adventure of sorts, or a course that expands your mind. These don’t have to happen now, but taking the time to recognize your needs for escaping the daily grind, taking a few risks, and feeding your spirit for self-expression through some form of adventure or higher learning, will help you to feel good about yourself. The only caution with this cycle is that you could lose touch with everyday affairs and important details.
From the 22nd, the Sun highlights your career and reputation sector. More than any other time of the year, your focus is drawn to your “place” or standing in the outer world, and your reputation. This is the time when you are more interested in, and focused on, accomplishing something important. Your competency is something that you are especially sensitive to during this cycle. You want to shine. Your vision is practical right now, and you want to see tangible results for your efforts. More contact with authority figures is likely during this period. Recognition is likely to come your way whether you ask for it or not, and the responsibility that comes right along with it! Do what you feel is right, keeping in mind that you are at your most visible during this period in the year.
All things foreign or undiscovered not only appeal this month, but could bring new opportunities. Youre likely to make some important connections if you venture forth onto unfamiliar ground. An educational, advertising, or other communications project bears fruit around the 5th. Dealing with private matters could be sticky this month, however, and require special care and sensitivity. A year-long cycle begins in the last week of November, and it’s bound to increase public recognition and expand professional success. The rewards can be plentiful, and your willingness to put yourself out there confidently is key.
There is a rare preponderance of planets (the Sun, Mercury, Venus, Mars, and Jupiter) in the sign of Scorpio in the first approximately three weeks of November, placing strong emphasis on your adventure sector. This allows you to focus on one area of your life, but it can also incline you to obsess on the same! In your case, higher education, advanced learning, travel, adventure, and broadening your horizons capture much of your attention. Some of these planets (the Sun, Venus, and Jupiter) enter Sagittarius in the last week of the month, and a shift occurs towards emphasis on career and reputation matters. From the 19-23, some key astrological events give us a shot of adrenaline–Uranus turns direct, the New Moon occurs late in the sign of Scorpio, the Sun and Jupiter align, also late in the sign of Scorpio, and Jupiter enters Sagittarius.
Uranus direct on the 19th gives us all a blast of electric energy. Moving forward in your first house, and as the ruler of your twelfth, this suggests new energy is brought to your sense of personal initiative, your attitude towards your appearance, your overall manner, and spiritual and private matters. Stagnation in these areas begins to lift. A new insight about a pet project or the manner in which you come across to others could figure. Alternatively, an unexpected change in your personal plans or a re-surfacing of a matter from your past that requires attention could be part of the picture in the weeks surrounding the 19th. Uranus always acts to disrupt the status quo, often bringing surprising or erratic events.
Jupiter entering Sagittarius this month places Jupiter in your solar tenth house. Jupiter changes sign approximately once a year, so this ingress is significant and represents a new shift of energy that will stay with us until December 2007. From now until December 2007, this transit brings Jupiter into your tenth house, a very fortunate place for this expansive planet. This can be a time of achievement, career advancement, and success in business. Public recognition and work- related travel are possible. Good things come into your life and change your worldly status for the better. There could be a promotion, new job opportunities, an honor, an award, a marriage, a birth, or a school diploma. Life-enhancing events occur that improve your public image and put you in the limelight in a pleasing way. People of influence and authority tend to easily help you out. Benefits may come from governmental agencies. Something may happen to expand your career or professional interests. Opportunities for new learning may be present. Long-standing difficulties may be removed from your life at this time. These positive circumstances won’t necessarily fall into your lap, and are unlikely to come all at once. You need to keep your eyes open for opportunities in these areas of life.
Mercury remains retrograde in Scorpio until November 17th. Mercury retrograde cycles are periods when communications and transportation matters don’t go as smoothly as usual. All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of communications with or about partnerships, as well as communications with or about family and home, because Mercury rules these areas of your life. Occurring in your solar ninth house this cycle, you may find yourself misrepresented after expressing an opinion or with regard to promotional activities. Travel plans could go awry. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with partners and family members, as well as through promotional or public relations activities, during this cycle; or, better yet, take this time to rethink issues before talking about them prematurely. In the weeks following the 17th, these matters begin to move forward. Mercury leaves its storm on the 22nd, when “all things Mercury” tend to resume near-normal pace, and leaves its shadow on December 4th. From the 22nd to December 4th, we have a chance to revisit matters that may have stumped or annoyed us while Mercury was retrograde.
Your ruler, Neptune, forms some rather challenging aspects this month, suggesting snags in your plans, some obstacles, and challenges that keep you on your toes. From the 6-9, you could be feeling rather unsupported, left out, unappreciated, or misunderstood–perhaps even all of the above! This period represents a temporary roadblock. Lay low and don’t push. The 16-18 is another red flag period when feelings of being blocked could frustrate you. Avoid impulsive actions, especially with your finances. The 30th-December 1st is a power period for love matters, communications, and finances.
Opportunities to increase or secure your earning power and cash flow occur on the 7-9, 15th, 21st, and 30-December 1st. Red flag periods for finances, when it’s better not to plunge forward on new financial initiatives, and when some minor financial strains are more likely to occur, are on the 16-18 and 27-29.
Romantic and creative matters tend to take the back seat for the time being, although an important conversation or revelation can occur around the time of the Full Moon on the 5th. Opportunities to enhance or attract romance occur on the 6th, 14-16, 22nd, 26th, and 30th-December 1st. These periods represent power days for personal magnetism, charisma, and creativity. Watch for some problems with a close partner, particularly about issues from the past, around the 7-8.
Better times to schedule job interviews or health appointments, and for success and happiness on the job, occur on the 20-22 and 27-28. Red flag periods for these matters occur on the 8-9 and 16-17, when you should avoid scheduling health appointments or job interviews if feasible. Your mind is unlikely to be on detail work and mundane affairs this month, which could be distracting on the job.
Venus plays in your solar ninth house until the 17th. You are all the more attractive and charming with this position, which increases your popularity. Public relations work, promotion, and other such endeavors are favored now. It is more about how you express yourself than the specifics of what you are saying that helps sway others to your position. There could be especial rapport with foreigners and with women if you are traveling during this period. If a romance were to begin now, it is more likely to be with someone of a different background or educational level, or someone you meet through travel. You have a taste for the exotic now that can show up in many areas of your life–who you are attracted to, what you buy, the kind of art or entertainment you enjoy, and so forth.
Venus warms your solar tenth house from the 17th. Venus is charming, friendly, and affectionate, and her presence in your career and reputation sector brings social opportunities and charm to your career. You are coming across well at work now, and romantic opportunities, or simply more chances to socialize and network, are likely. The areas of life where you are most likely to express your social, romantic, and artistic qualities are through social and professional life. You are socially ambitious right now, and success may come though your good managerial qualities or some form of artistic talent, or, indirectly through your marriage partner. People who turn your head during this cycle are those who have social status, or who come across as especially competent.
Mercury, the planet of communication, continues to activate your solar ninth house all month. Cross-cultural exchanges, a visit or significant communication from someone far away, and/or a long journey broaden your thinking. Your thoughts are lifted above the usual daily concerns and immediate business into thoughts and visions about future, larger goals, and the purpose and meaning of your activities. You are putting everything into a larger context. Discussions and/or reading on issues of faith and of the spirit could be part of this. The only caution here is that Mercury is retrograde and then its storm until the 22nd, when communications can be challenging or awkward and decision-making foggy.
Mars brings dynamic energy to your solar ninth house all month. During this period, you are especially enthusiastic and more bold than usual. Some restlessness and hunger for adventure is experienced now. Essentially, you are looking to expand your activities, and you may find that you have a lot of energy for higher studies, travel, or simply new subjects. Negative potentials include being excessively opinionated or getting easily fired up over differences in points of view, or legal fights.
As planets continue to pile up in your solar ninth house, routine affairs simply don’t seem to satisfy. You receive pleasure from anything that expands your horizons, both physically and mentally. Foreign people and places may particularly appeal now. You tend to be expansive and generous. With so many planets in Scorpio, a very compatible sign to yours, in the first three weeks of November, you are bound to feel quite supported by circumstances.
Highlights:
October 31-November 1 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It’s all about you now, so it’s time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.
November 1-3 Venus and the Sun trine Uranus, and Mercury retrograde squares Saturn. Although we are likely to revisit tense discussions and topics that occurred on October 22-23, this is a strong period for new ways of approaching old problems. For you, love and appreciation–even applause–comes your way. This is a mostly easy-going energy for you, as long as you don’t listen to the nay-sayers and overly critical folk.
November 2-3 Monthly money and income peak. You’re looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don’t have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up nowthe discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.
November 5 Full Moon in Taurus in your solar third house. This Full Moon is emotionally passionate and potentially creative, but disillusionments may be part of the picture. Some sort of fulfillment, culmination, or revelation regarding your heart’s desire at the last New Moon on October 22nd occurs now. The last two weeks have found you somewhat restless and in need of more from life than the mundane. Now the mundane is catching up with you. Errands need to be run, people are talking your ear off, you need to do some paperwork and answer calls. An important document could arrive, or a sudden need to run an important errand or to take a short trip could be part of the picture. You are pushed to find a balance now. Do what needs to be done so that you can free yourself up for more adventurous and fulfilling activities.
November 6-9 With the Sun, Mercury, and Venus square Neptune during this period, we need to be wary of anything that looks too good to be true. Disappointments, disillusionments, foggy thinking, and wishful thinking are all strong possibilities now, and can affect our relationships, finances, communications, and more. This is a red flag period for all. For you, confusing circumstances surrounding a close partnership, work, health, and family could concern you for the time being. Judgment now can be clouded by wishful or impractical thinking, so it’s best to hold off on making important decisions. Your ruler in tense aspect with the Sun, Mercury, and Venus can indicate a period in which you feel unappreciated, misunderstood, and perhaps even slighted.
November 9-10 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.
November 13-14 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it’s time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won’t work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it’s best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.
November 15-16 Venus conjuncts Jupiter, and we have a taste for “the finer things” in life. Generosity, tolerance, and sociability come naturally, and so does over-indulgence in life’s pleasures. This is a strong period of attraction for you. Rewards through your career, recognition, a travel or education opportunity, or an income boost may come your way now.
November 17-18 The Sun squares Saturn and Mars squares Neptune. Mercury is stationary direct. Caution is in order – this is a red flag period for all. We are not seeing things clearly, and new initiatives should be avoided until after the New Moon on the 20th. You are inclined towards impulsive actions and should watch for hasty, ill-prepared actions or decisions. Disappointing news, frustrations on the job, or the resurfacing of a nagging problem may be part of the picture.
November 20 New Moon in late Scorpio in your solar ninth house affects you until the next New Moon. This New Moon aligns with good luck Jupiter, but also squares Saturn. This cycle represents an opportunity to rid ourselves of the “junk” in our lives–material and spiritual. The ninth house rules our spirit to grow, explore, and expand beyond the “regular” experiences in our lives. The New Moon here may bring some restlessness and dissatisfaction with regular routines. Make an effort to initiate new projects or activities that expand your mind, feed your spirit for adventure, and stretch your imagination. You may feel renewed by a new perspective on your life, something philosophical or spiritual that you read or learn, or an adventure that takes you away from the mundane routines in your life.
November 20-23 The Sun conjuncts Jupiter, Venus sextiles Chiron, Mercury trines Uranus, and Uranus turns direct. Power days for all. Electric energy, faithfulness, bright ideas, optimism, the desire to break out and experience more from life. This is a time to break free from limiting circumstances and to start something new. For you, you feel especially re-energized, confident, and on top of your game. A travel opportunity, or a chance to expand your mind, may be part of the picture now.
November 21-22 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you’re noticed for what you’ve done or haven’t done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don’t be afraid to show others exactly what you’re made of. You’re at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.
November 26-28 Venus squares Uranus, Mars squares Saturn. Watch for impulsive attractions. We may have to face the consequences of past behavior now. Forcing matters only brings resistance and frustrations. Avoid new financial initiatives for the time being, no matter how good they look. Challenges on the job may be present now.
November 28-29 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It’s all about you now, so it’s time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.
November 30-December 1 Monthly money and income peak. You’re looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don’t have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up nowthe discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.

October 2006: Pisces Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
October
Overview. Until the 23rd, the Sun puts a spotlight on your solar eighth house–a transit that began in September. Personal transformations, personal power, and intimate matters fulfill you most during this cycle. There may be a strong focus on other’s money, such as the resources of a partner, through inheritance, banking and loans, or taxes. You are inclined to be more intense and perhaps even secretive at this time of year. Emotions tend to run deep right now, and you don’t much like losing or feeling powerless. This can be a determined and personally powerful time of year if you apply the energy of this transit constructively.
From the 23rd, the Sun illuminates your solar ninth house. This transit finds you at your most adventurous and philosophical. Routine tends to bother you now, as you instinctively are drawn towards anything that brings you up and out of the mundane. You feel more fulfilled when you expand your horizons during this cycle. This can be a restless time, and it could also be a little self-indulgent. As long as you don’t fall into the trap of blind optimism, it’s a very pleasant time when you have the guts to do something different and enjoy yourself. You are also in the position to gain more of an overall perspective on your life and on your goals.
Time spent getting in touch with your deepest needs and desires, and perhaps ridding yourself of bad habits, is time very well spent this month. Intimate and deeply personal matters capture your attention. Its a strong period for research of any kind, intimately connecting with loved ones, and self-improvement programs. By the last week of the month, however, the rest of the world seems to play in your style. A taste for the exotic and wild imaginings grab hold. Opportunities to break out of your normal routine abound and excite.
Your ruler, Neptune, forms some very pleasing aspects this month. This translates to some real opportunities for you to advance. Neptune trines Mars, the Sun, and then Venus–on the 3-5, 9-10, and 13-14. Increased initiative, recognition for your talents, and attracting others feature during these opportunity periods. There could also be a financial boost that figures in all of this. Rewards for past good deeds could easily come now, and could surprise you. Work and health matters could improve as well. However, it looks more like a financial opportunity than anything. An important communication can come your way from the 6-8, again most likely regarding money. Two challenging periods for your ruler in October include the 1-2, when overindulgence could be a symptom of a feeling of a lack of appreciation from others, and the 15-16, when you could be misunderstood or you could get news that bothers you.
Jupiter in your ninth house squares Saturn in your sixth house from the 18-31. We’re forced to do things by the book during this phase, but may not want to. This is not the time to take shortcuts–they won’t work. When we think in big terms, or if we have the urge to expand, we confront obstacles or face reality. Some re-structuring of our lives and of our business goals is now in order. We may be looking for new challenges, sometimes because we are forced to do so (because things are not going exactly as we had planned). We have a desire to grow and expand, but our attitude is tempered with some caution and feelings of restriction. There is no “easy fix” just now. It is best to breathe new life into old plans rather than to strike out with a new plan altogether. Take steps to grow, but don’t overextend yourself at this time or you are bound to face frustrations. You are best off eliminating something in order to improve the overall quality of your life. This aspect can play out in a number of different ways in your life, affecting issues surrounding work, health, daily routines, pets, services, and employees or co-workers (where demands or restrictions are present or required) on the one hand, and travel, adventure, philosophy, and higher education (where the urge to expand and enjoy is great) on the other. For example, while you are itching to get out and about in order to escape the monotony of routine, you could feel especially limited by work or health matters that keep you put.
Mercury turns retrograde in Scorpio on the 28th. This Mercury retrograde cycle lasts until November 17th. Mercury retrograde cycles are periods when communications and transportation matters don’t go as smoothly as usual. All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of communications with or about partnerships, as well as communications with or about family and home, because Mercury rules these areas of your life. Occurring in your solar ninth house this cycle, you may find yourself misrepresented after expressing an opinion or with regard to promotional activities. Travel plans could go awry. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with partners and family members, as well as through promotional or public relations activities, during this cycle; or, better yet, take this time to rethink issues before talking about them prematurely.
This is a very strong month for finances. Finances look to be mostly about other people’s money, such as that of a partner, via a loan, inheritance, and so forth. From the 20-26, your financial ruler forms powerful alignments with the Sun and Venus, offering nice opportunities, most likely, again, connected with loans, support, or a partner doing especially well. This period is actually loosely in effect from the 11-28. Another excellent period for money in October occurs on the 3-5–a truly fabulous time for financial opportunities and endeavors. Another stronger period of the month for finances is the 14-16. Watch for unexpected fluctuations on the 17-18, and avoid major financial initiatives, if you can, on the 29-30.
Intimate matters take top billing this month. With many planets concentrated in your intimacy sector, this is a month when intense discussions or deep changes are likely to occur in any ongoing romantic relationship. Partnerships are connected with the ninth house this month, which could involve foreign people, things, or concepts. Note that your partnership ruler, Mercury, slows down and retrogrades in the last week of the month–a period that is carried forward as well into November. A close partner could be hard to reach or rethinking things during that period. Alternatively, there could be some rehashing of the past or communication problems. The best way to handle this is to give each other the benefit of the doubt and perhaps a little space. The best period of the month for partnerships occurs on the 10-11. Challenges could arise on the 8-9, likely due to suspiciousness or doubts, and the 15-16, when disappointments or disillusionments are possible. The past may be rehashed, and this could be frustrating. The 21-25 is a “one step forward, two steps back” period, when you could stand to gain in a partnership, but may need to “lose” something in order to do so.
The best period in October for scheduling job interviews or health appointments, and for positive developments in these areas, is the 9-10. The 15-18 is another very strong period. You are likely showing more dedication and shouldering more responsibility willingly. As well, the 20-26 is likely to be a very active period of the month for these matters. New developments, increased creativity, as well as recognition could come your way during this period. Less favorable days for these matters include the 4-5, 19th, and 27-28. As far as career and professional matters are concerned, you might face some stumbling blocks around the time of the Jupiter-Saturn square on the 22-27.
Venus transits your intimacy sector until the 24th. You attract others like bees to honey now, and you favor a partner who is intelligent, with a somewhat mysterious flair about them. A financial boost is likely, or you may gain financially through your partner. Your social circle may include people who are interested in mysteries or those who are engaged in some form of psychological work. A deep personal connection and intimate exchange can be healing, replenishing, and soothing to your soul. This is a good time to work on resolving grievances, differences in values, or money problems in a close relationship. There are also apt to be favorable developments regarding shared assets, jointly owned property, borrowing money, or repaying loans to the satisfaction of all concerned. You are likely to get both the financial backing and the emotional support you need to succeed. On a more personal level, intimate relationships are intensified. Either you or your partner want a deeper union.
Venus transits your adventure sector from the 24th. A taste for the exotic takes hold during this cycle. Routine affairs simply don’t seem to satisfy. You receive pleasure from anything that expands your horizons, both physically and mentally. Foreign people, places, and may particularly appeal now. You tend to be expansive and generous when it comes to love. A love interest who attracts you during this cycle may be somebody who you previously wouldn’t consider attractive, or someone whose cultural background is very different than yours. Your perceptions of beauty, in general, are broadened and widened now, and this can extend to things that attract you, including objects and ideas. You have a taste for the exotic and the spirit to match. Public relations work, promotion, and other such endeavors are favored now. It is more about how you express yourself than the specifics of what you are saying that helps sway others to your position. There could be especial rapport with foreigners and with women if you are traveling during this period.
Mercury transits your adventure sector from the 2nd. Cross-cultural exchanges, a visit or significant communication from someone far away, and/or a long journey broaden your thinking. Your thoughts are lifted above the usual daily concerns and immediate business into thoughts and visions about future, larger goals, and the purpose and meaning of your activities. You are putting everything into a larger context. Discussions and/or reading on issues of faith and of the spirit could be part of this.
Mars transits your intimacy sector until the 23rd, and your personal, intimate life speeds up. You experience every situation intensely and deeply during this cycle, even though your outward actions do not necessarily reveal this fact. You could find yourself attracted to mysterious or even dangerous situations. Sometimes this transit correlates with disputes over money. This is a time when your best course of action is to recognize that you need, or rely on, others for support. Circumstances in life are likely to occur that require you to take the lead or to apply personal action in connection with joint finances.
Mars transits your adventure sector from the 23rd–a pleasantly active period when you are able to assert yourself without offending anyone. This is also a time when you take especial interest in debate and in expressing your opinions. Much of what you believe during this cycle is based on your own intuitive judgment. Travel may hold special appeal for you now. During this period, you are especially enthusiastic and more bold than usual. Some restlessness and hunger for adventure is experienced now. Essentially, you are looking to expand your activities, and you may find that you have a lot of energy for higher studies, travel, or simply new subjects. Negative potentials include being excessively opinionated or getting easily fired up over differences in points of view, or legal fights.
In the first three weeks of the month, the preponderance of planets in Libra makes the period somewhat awkward or private for you, simply because Libra is not a particularly compatible sign with yours. The last week of the month, the planets shift to early Scorpio–most certainly a compatible sign. The best period of the month for you occurs in the last week, when you are more likely to feel free, light, expressive, and energetically supported.
Highlights:
October 3-5 Mars trines Neptune and Venus trines Chiron. This combination is spiritual, heartwarming, and compassionate. It’s an excellent period for enhancing and healing relationships, as well as for expressing compassion and understanding. We act on our intuition now and our creative impulses are potent. We are less tense and driven, and more relaxed. “What will be, will be” is the attitude. Inspiration can be found. The arts and anything that requires relying on intuition and imagination are favored. This is a power period for you, particularly when it comes to personal finances.
October 4-5 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It’s all about you now, so it’s time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.
October 6-7 Monthly money and income peak. You’re looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don’t have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up nowthe discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.
October 6-7 Full Moon in Aries in your solar second house. This Full Moon is emotionally passionate, self-centered, aggressive, and potentially creative. Some sort of fulfillment, culmination, or revelation regarding your heart’s desire at the last New Moon on September 22nd occurs now. Intimacy, issues of power and control, or joint finances may have been a focus for the last two weeks. Now it’s time to recognize what makes you comfortable. This Full Moon is about balancing the give and take of intimacy–the giving and receiving of pleasure. Sharing issues come into focus, as do issues of power–what’s yours and what’s mine. Your comfort zones matter, and now is the time to take care of your own needs without eclipsing the needs of others.
October 9-11 The Sun trines Neptune, Mercury trines Uranus, and Mars sextiles Saturn. This combination of influences can produce epiphanies and dreamy ideals that may actually bear weight in the real world. We’re at the right place at the right time, probably because our hunches are more likely to be correct and we are “tuned in”. This is a most opportune time for self-improvement programs or efforts. This is an opportune time to attend meetings and other organized group activities, to communicate online, and to take part in activities involving computers, scientific projects, and metaphysics. Unexpected gains may be realized through such mediums. The intuition is strong, and insights seem to come from “out of the blue”. Original, creative ideas are easy to come by. Work takes on definite shape, and we can see results from our efforts. This gives us a sense of responsibility and a feeling of directedness and purposefulness. Your ruler in harmony with the Sun suggests vitality, leadership skills, and authority. Others recognize these qualities in you now. Work matters run especially smoothly, and a hidden source of income may come to light now. A long-distance communication could bring good news that furthers your personal interests.
October 12-13 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.
October 13-16 Venus trines Neptune, Mars sextiles Pluto, the Sun sextiles Saturn, and Mercury squares Neptune. This creative combination inspires imagination that can effectively be put into action. Although it’s not the best time to sign on the dotted line, we can make significant headway on in-progress projects. This can be a dreamy time on a romantic level as well. With your ruler in harmonious contact to Venus and challenging aspect to Neptune, this could be a one step forward, two steps back period for you. While misunderstandings are likely, romantic and intimate matters soar. Although it’s best to wait a bit for major new initiatives, financial matters could skyrocket now, and you could receive returns from projects already underway. Overall, it’s a rewarding period, particularly when it comes to feeling supported and appreciated.
October 17-18 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it’s time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won’t work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it’s best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.
October 17-20 Venus sextiles Saturn and Pluto, and the Sun sextiles Pluto. Yet another creative combination occurs now, and opportunities abound. This is a time when love matters and social relationships can be solidified; and when solid progress with finances can occur. It’s also a time when research brings rewards. We benefit now from strategy and keeping things to ourselves for the time being. Opportunities to find or renew something we had lost, and to gain some power are available now. It’s about watching and waiting–observing and collecting information before we make our move. For you, finances figure strongly. This is a time when employing financial strategy comes easily and works for the best. Gains may be realized, and you happily take on more responsibility on the job. It’s also an excellent period for working on a project that involves a lot of analysis, detail work, and perhaps tedious effort.
October 22 New Moon in late Libra in your solar eighth house affects you until the next New Moon. This New Moon is very creative and relationship-oriented. In your eighth house of intimacy, sexuality and intimate relationships come to the fore now and in the month ahead. This is a time of empowerment. It is a good time to focus on issues of intimacy as well as developing self-mastery skills. You may experience increased awareness of otherswhat makes them tickas well as your own internal motivations during this period. It is a time when intimacy and deep levels of sharing are heightened. It is also a favorable time to start a financial plan, savings plan, take out a loan or consolidate, and do work in accounting.
October 22-26 The Sun conjuncts Venus and Mars; Mercury conjuncts Jupiter and squares Saturn. This is a vital, dynamic time when we thrive on progress and activity, as well as lively, creative, and sexual energy. Our creativity and desire to make something beautiful is stimulated now. Social relations are impassioned, and perhaps demanding or extreme. We may also feel compelled to do something creative or artistic. In some cases this impulsive energy generates “love at first sight” scenarios or erotic interludes. Team work is more successful now. Some level of competition is present in our interactions, but it’s likely of a pleasurable and gently challenging kind. In terms of mental pursuits, we may have to make a choice in which both alternatives are desirable, but we must choose one at the expense of the other. For you, this is an active and creative period for financial, work, and intimate matters. You may reach new heights of intimacy in a partnership, for example. There may be some challenges encountered in this period, however, with regards to communications. The Jupiter-Saturn square, discussed above in the Overview, is highlighted now.
October 25-26 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you’re noticed for what you’ve done or haven’t done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don’t be afraid to show others exactly what you’re made of. You’re at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.
October 27-29 Mercury is stationary retrograde now, and will remain retrograde until November 17th–a cycle when rethinking matters is the name of the game. When Mercury is stationary, as it is now, it’s especially important to prepare for possible breakdowns in communication. Back up your computer, double-check your paperwork, and remember that you may not have all the necessary information to make big decisions for the time being. Avoid signing contracts or deals, as they may not work out as you expected, or they might need revision later. As well, both the Sun and Venus square Chiron, making it a less than ideal time to ask for favors and to make important purchases. For you, some doubts about your job or health could be a concern now. This is a red flag period for all–it’s best to avoid major changes now.
October 31-November 1 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It’s all about you now, so it’s time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.

Pisces (Born February 20 to March 1) and Pisces Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Pisces:
September 2006: Pisces Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
September
Overview. Until the 23rd, the Sun shines a spotlight on your partnership sector. At this time of year, you have a greater need than usual to be with a partner. Bouncing ideas off someone helps you to better understand yourself. A partner provides a mirror for your own self-discovery. Now is the time to realize your own potential through a significant other. During this cycle, you focus on balancing your personal interests and objectives with your social life, or with those of a partner. The emphasis is on “us” rather than “me”. You need the energies, companionship, and support of other people, and they may also seek out your support and companionship. It’s important to include others rather than to go solo for the time being. However, bending too much to the will of another is not advised either. Social interactions of a personal, one-on-one kind are emphasized. Circumstances are such that your diplomacy skills are required. Your popularity is increasing, and is reinforced by your own ability to cooperate and harmonize. Your ego and pride are tied up in how you relate to others now. This may be an especially busy time for people who consult or work with clients one-on-one.
From the 23rd, the Sun energizes your sector of transformation, change, sexuality, personal growth, regeneration, others’ money and resources, addictions, and taxes. As a result, this is not the most gregarious of months for you. You take a step back, focus on intimacy with a partner, or simply retreat a little from the hectic pace of life. This is an excellent time to create a budget or financial plan, or to rid yourself of bad habits that undermine your sense of personal power and self-mastery. All that is deeply personal comes into focus now. Intimate matters are especially important to you during this cycle. Just how well you are handling your life comes up for inspection. Your self-mastery skills and psychological predisposition matter to you more than usual. This is the time of year when you are most desirous of change on a deep level. Clearing out psychic “junk” or ridding yourself of bad habits may be part of the picture now. You are more willing than usual to explore life’s secrets. This cycle brings greater in-depth understanding and an inclination to delve beneath the surface of matters to get to the bottom of them. Research uncovers new material that allows you to develop a better overall picture of the year’s events. This is an especially introspective cycle during which you have the chance to truly uncover your personal strengths and talents. On a more mundane level, you may be dealing with joint finances and shared resources now.
This month, the two themes outlined above are the main focus, since the inner planets are all congregating in the signs of Virgo and Libra in September, highlighting these two sectors of your chart.
You experience a sudden and surprising urge for increased freedom and self-expression around the 7th, when a Lunar Eclipse occurs in your sign. You may make an emotional declaration that could even surprise you! Plans that are close to your heart reach fruition, and you are more excited and emotional than usual. The 15th brings an exciting financial offer. By the 22nd, you are ready to start fresh with an existing or new partner. More intimacy, closeness, and depth with a loved one is in store for you now.
Pluto turns direct this month after an approximately 6-month retrograde period. Slowly but surely, issues surrounding travel, higher education, career, and reputation improve.
Two eclipses occur this month. One is a Lunar Eclipse on the 7th in the middle degree of Pisces. Its conjunction to Uranus brings a surprising turn of events. The other is a Solar Eclipse on the 22nd in the last degree of Virgo. The effects of eclipses stay with us for as long as six months, and they reveal main areas of focus for this half-year period. A general rule of thumb regarding eclipses is to avoid major decision-making in the week before an eclipse. This is because new information that could change our perspective often is revealed in the week after the eclipse. Therefore, major decision-making is best avoided in the first week of September as well as from the 15th to 22nd.
The Lunar Eclipse on the 7th stimulates your solar first house. Surprises surrounding your personal plans and your personal presence may be in store. Something that has been “in hiding” or brewing under the surface of things comes to light, or there is a significant fruition or culmination. Your sector of personal appearance, initiative, and “me first” energy is involved. This could manifest, for example, as a sudden assertion of independence (even a temper tantrum), a situation that tests your leadership skills, a culmination or fruition of an important partnership, and other such possibilities. Finding a balance between autonomy and dependence is what this Lunar Eclipse is about for you.
The Solar Eclipse on the 22nd marks a new beginning for you. Flaws in an important system in your life are revealed and it’s time to start fresh. This eclipse occurs in your solar seventh house, suggesting a new approach to dealing with others is in order. A new set-up in existing partnerships or a new relationship altogether may be formed in the coming months, as well as a sense of renewal and reinvigoration with regards to your one-to-one relationship skills. This is a phase when you have an increased awareness of the need for someone significant to lean on or to rely on. You may also begin a consulting position or you could enjoy an increase in clients if you already work with people one-on-one.
Your ruler, Neptune, forms quite a few challenging aspects this month. Awkward inconjuncts to Mercury, the Sun, and Venus occur on the 5th, 9-10, and 19-20, marking the need for adjustments. You could find yourself at the mercy of others or other people’s schedules, likely due to your own guilt. Many of these struggles are likely to do with partnering issues. On the 5th, you could find yourself at odds with a partner, and attention to family and home is likely the subject. The same type of conflict can also occur on the 14th. On the 9-10, your own pride could be an issue. Feeling undermined, undervalued, or downright neglected is possible, and this theme could repeat itself on the 24-25. On the 19-20, the subject of shared resources could get you into a tizzy. The 20-29 is likely to be a period of emotional ups and downs. However, on the 23rd, you may be the recipient of good news and you could enhance your existing partnerships and relations with family members.
Jupiter squares Neptune, your ruler, from the 20-29, affecting your ninth and twelfth houses. We may be misled easily under this influence–by others, or by our own unrealistic expectations. An inability to focus on important and realistic details, some disorganization, and extravagance or exaggeration, is likely now. You may be challenged to defend your ideals. Giving too much of your time and/or resources to others may be an issue now, and could leave you feeling discouraged if others are not appreciating your efforts. This may play out with co-workers, a boss, a business associate, in-laws or with the services you render others. Be careful that you are not deceived. There could be a bit of back-stabbing going on, or something that is hidden is revealed and that gets you down. As well, avoid financial speculation during this period.
Personal finances will revolve around others’ resources for you this month. Less favorable days for financial initiatives include the 5-8, 13-16, and 25-27.
Partnership matters are in big focus this month. An opportunity to enhance or attract a serious partnership occurs on the 1-3, 23, 25, and 27-28, when your negotiating skills are better than usual.
Better times to schedule job interviews or health appointments, and for success and happiness on the job, occur on the 1st and 6-7. A face-off with a co-worker or working partner could occur on the 4-5. Less favorable days for these matters include the 4-5, 9-10, 16-17, 24-25, and 28-29. Career matters are picking up this month, although there can be some confusion around the 20-29 when you could question whether it’s the right career for you, and some tension is possible around the 12th and 24-26–these are unfavorable periods for asking for a raise, throwing an office party, or going on job interviews! However, two very strong periods for recognition and potential advancement occur on the 3rd, 6-7, and 18-19.
Venus moves through your solar seventh house from the 7th. You may enjoy many social functions during this cycle. People are attracted to your gracious, friendly, and obliging manner, which tends to draw daily contacts with others. Special attention to and from a partner is in focus, and flattery will get you everywhere if you use it wisely. Set aside some private time when no one else can get in the way of the feelings you want to share. Give to a partner exactly what you would like to receive just now. It’s not about you right now–it’s about someone else close, and the sweeter your attentions, the more delicious your rewards will be! Smoothing out your close personal relationships is what makes you happy during this cycle. You have a greater need than usual for contact and exchange with an intimate partner. If single, you are more willing than normal to enter into a committed relationships. In general, you are adaptable when it comes to your affections.
Chatty Mercury is in your partnership sector until the 12th. You may be called upon to act as a mediator during this cycle as others recognize your keen sense of justice and fair play. You will not pass judgment on others too quickly, as you tend to weigh the pros and cons of each issue. At times you may experience difficulty reaching decisions when it comes to personal affairs. It is not lack of ability that holds you back, but rather the importance of making the right decision. There is a strong desire to cooperate and communicate with others now. When discussions and exchange of ideas and thoughts are not forthcoming, it can greatly disturb your sense of balance. You are attracted to people who you feel are interested in life and who are good conversationalists. You feel comfortable relating with those you have a past history with. Your own thoughts become clearer through dialogue. You carefully weigh the pros and cons, and are more willing than usual to listen to other people’s point of view. You may be doing public relations work, counseling, or arbitration during this cycle. There is a lot of emphasis on communications with partners and best friends at this time. You can use the power of words to give counsel to other people, or to smooth over differences. You know how to use the art of diplomacy and you can appreciate opposing viewpoints even if you don’t necessarily agree with them during this period.
Mercury moves through your eighth house from the 12th. Your mental and communicative abilities will largely be applied to the growth and development of the mind. Much of your knowledge may be gained through intuitive means rather than the study of books at this time. There is an aptitude for business and other financial dealings. Your mental disposition is ideally suited to work of an investigative nature, research, psychotherapy, psychiatry, or detective work. Focus the light of understanding and honest communication on emotionally-charged topics such as sexuality and intimacy, feelings about the power dynamics in your partnerships, and money you share with significant others. You can have a more objective and fair view of such things now, and could clarify any long-standing issues related to any of this. On a practical level, it is the time to handle joint finances, material assets or property you hold in common with another, and matters pertaining to inheritances, taxes, or commercial interests.
Mars continues to heat up your partnership sector until the 8th, when it moves into your solar eighth house. The 8th forward is a time when you can show great willpower, strategy, and talent. Circumstances in life are likely to conspire to bring out the leader in you in connection with joint finances or intimate matters. The manner in which certain monetary affairs are handled or spent can be a source of friction from time to time between you and your spouse, business partner, or others connected with joint financial issues. Sexuality and intimacy are stimulated under this transit. Negative expression of this energy is the tendency towards ego conflicts concerning jointly held property or money. Conflicts with partners over values or possessions are possible. Occasionally, this transit could bring a crisis or ending of some kind. Something you hear about now might disturb or touch you deeply. You are likely to be more strategic in your actions during this period, as you become aware of the subtleties of human interaction. This is a time when your best course of action is to recognize that you need, or rely on, others for support.
The ball isn’t in your court this month, but it will come back to you soon enough. This is a time when you need to recognize and support other people in your life more than usual, and your success at balancing your needs for personal gratification with the needs of other people in your life will determine the success of the months ahead of you. You can make great strides towards improving your relations with others this month.
Highlights:
August 31-September 1 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you’re noticed for what you’ve done or haven’t done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don’t be afraid to show others exactly what you’re made of. You’re at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.
August 31-September 1 Venus trines Pluto and the Sun conjuncts Mercury. A conversation or communication with a partner (or potential partner) today could open the doors to a new opportunity. Use diplomacy and tact, and truly listen to what others are saying now. This is an excellent day for boosting your position on the job.
September 3-7 The Sun and Mercury activate the Jupiter-Uranus trine. Both oppose Uranus and sextile Jupiter. Opportunities are present, but not without a struggle. Face-offs can occur now, as well as brazen assertions of independence. Sudden events and surprising news are in store. This can be a time of great insight or revelations–a time when you see the light and are jolted out of your usual (or automatic) mode of thinking and living. New perceptions come intuitively now.
September 7 Full Moon in Pisces in your solar first house. This is a potent Full Moon–a Lunar Eclipse–that can affect us for months after it occurs. “Hey, what about me?” is the feeling of a Full Moon in the first house. You’re looking for a bit of attention right now as you feel that life has been too “other-oriented” recently. Try to avoid infantile outbursts. Instead, work on your self-assertiveness. You do count, and there are ways to assert your own needs without stepping on others’ toes. Finding a balance between autonomy and dependence is what this Full Moon is about for you. Your emotions are on your sleeve right now. It is a good time to put your needs first, but doing so with respect for others will take you further. Whether you can succeed as a leader is “tested” right now.
September 7-8 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It’s all about you now, so it’s time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.
September 9-10 Monthly money and income peak. You’re looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don’t have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up nowthe discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.
September 9-12 Mercury squares Pluto, and the Sun and Mars form tense aspects with Neptune. Watch for sarcastic speech and suspiciousness, especially with or from a close partner or family member, as it can backfire. Also watch for confusion or self-deception. Feeling misunderstood and challenged is possible now. Do your best not to stress yourself out. Your pride could be hurt on the job. A flurry of activity with finances–perhaps even a minor financial crisis–could bother you now. It’s challenging to see clearly at this time, so do your best to avoid signing on the dotted line.
September 15-16 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.
September 15-17 Mercury-Mars conjunction is semi-square Saturn, the Sun squares Pluto, and Venus opposes Uranus. This is very potent, and potentially disruptive, energy! Although energy is brought to our communications, especially regarding personal relationships, we must be conscious of the tendency to be overly critical, sarcastic, or forceful with what we say and how we say it. We are likely to come to a very clear, definite decision at this time and to let others know exactly what we want, and we have no qualms about stirring up controversy in defense of our ideas or plans! Our comments may be particularly loaded, and discussions could easily escalate into arguments. Sudden or impulsive attractions to people and to material items that later prove to be unappealing occur now. This is not a good time to start a new relationship nor for any significant financial undertaking. We may not see eye to eye with our loved ones, and we might be taken off guard by unexpected events. It’s wise to hold off on decision-making with regards to finances and relationships. However, if we can separate rebellion from a sincere need for change, we might open ourselves up to new ways of dealing with others. We might find ourselves particularly impatient with rules. You may experience a powerful and possibly frustrating conversation or communication with a partner over intimate matters, or it could involve finances–watch for harsh words. Power plays may be experienced now, and likely involve close partnerships. A partner may be finding you unreliable or could be put off by your display of independence.
September 18-19 Venus sextiles Jupiter. We are big-hearted and our feelings are expansive under this influence. This is a sociable, perhaps lazy and self-indulgent, time. We easily find meaning in our social connections. We are more open and trusting of friends and lovers. Integrity and loyalty are favored. This is a favorable influence for winning people’s trust, healthy speculation, advertising, publishing, finances, and travel. For you, this is a strong period for close partnerships including marriage, shared resources and finances, asking for support from others, and presenting your ideas. This is also a good time for good will and charm on the job.
September 20-21 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it’s time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won’t work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it’s best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.
September 22 New Moon (Solar Eclipse) in late Virgo in your solar seventh house affects you until the next New Moon. This New Moon is especially potent because it is a Solar Eclipse. Its energy is with you for the next six months. Negotiations and diplomacy are highlighted during this period, as it is a favorable time to begin new relationships or to re-define existing ones. Issues of sharing and partnership come to the fore. Increased awareness of the need for someone significant to lean on or to rely on is often associated with this position. Working on, or resolving to work on, relationships that are mutually supportive is a good idea at this time. If you find yourself sensitive to the feeling of lacking support from partners, this may be a good time to ask yourself how companionable you are, and work on developing yourself in this area of life. You might just find that this is a period when you are at your most gracious. It is also a good time to make contacts and to make something public.
September 23 Mercury trine Neptune. Imagination and intuition run high, and are involved in decisions made today. We are in the right place at the right time. We are inspired and able to inspire others with our words. This influence favors photography, the arts, poetry, fiction, spirituality, advertising, and promotion. For you, this is an excellent period for all forms of communication. Your intuition is serving you especially well, and others are finding you most eloquent. It’s a good time to present your ideas. This is also a strong period for enhancing or attracting a close partnership, for family and domestic matters, and for joint finances.
September 24-26 Venus squares Pluto, Jupiter squares Neptune (discussed in the Overview, above) and Mercury sextiles Saturn. Intense emotions and clashes over personal values are in store now. However, it’s a good time to get organized and to do some solid work that will have benefits down the road. Although this is not a time for lucky breaks, work matters should run well, and you have a good chance of strengthening relationships with a close partner or family member.
September 27-28 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you’re noticed for what you’ve done or haven’t done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don’t be afraid to show others exactly what you’re made of. You’re at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.
September 27-29 Mercury sextiles Pluto and sesquiquadrates Uranus; the Sun semi-squares Saturn and trines Chiron. Conflicts and blockages encountered now can lead to improved circumstances, healing, and a renewed sense of purpose. A truth may come to light now, or something from the past retrieved or found. Conversations are deeper and more sincere. Constructive strategies formulated now have long-term benefits. However, listen to your intuition in addition to your sense of reason.

August 2006: Pisces Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
August
Overview. Until the 23rd, the Sun shines its light on your work and health sector. You take more pride in the work you do and in your health routines than any other time of the year. You are sorting through the experiences of the last several months, separating the worthwhile from the worthless. This is a good time to build your skills, to get organized, and to attend to your health and wellbeing. Its a great time to make improvements to your regular routines. Your self-esteem and your ego are tied up in the work you do and in the services you give. You may be drawn into some form of service that will bring deep personal satisfaction. At this time, you seek perfection and distinction in your work and this quality bring you a more responsible position. This cycle presents an opportunity to get rid of what doesn’t work in your life, while also discovering what does. More than any time of the year, you are conscious of your mental and physical health, daily routines, everyday working life, and your working methods. If your regular routine doesn’t provide you satisfaction now, you need to look at where you can make improvements without obsessing over, or getting bogged down with, details.
From the 23rd, the Sun illuminates your partnership sector. This is the time of year when you begin to turn away from personal experiences by responding to the world around you in a more spiritual and social manner. You are able to love and care for yourself and others. You begin to express your power potential through close personal relationships. During this cycle, you are especially good at public relations, gaining popularity, and dealing with superiors. Interpersonal relationships demand a great deal of your energies at this time. You may even find your real life-purpose by associating with others in partnership or social intercourse. If there are confrontations now, they likely mirror something within yourself that you couldn’t perceive any other way, except through interaction with others. This position of the Sun will draw out the very best of your character, to ensure that you fulfill your personal obligations. The emphasis is on “us” rather than “me”. You need the energies, companionship, and support of other people, and they also are drawing upon you a great deal. It’s important to give others credit and recognition, and to attempt to harmonize and include others rather than to go solo for the time being.
Mercury picks up speed after a period of retrogradation in July. Problems involving romance, speculation, entertainment, children, partnership, and family or home issues are resolved for the most part early this month, particularly after the 4th. You can become more confident about decision-making with regards to love affairs, children, property and home issues, family affairs, and partnerships or contracts.
Work and health are the major arenas of your life that are in focus now. This month, youre challenged to separate fact from fiction, particularly with regards to a co-worker or job situation. Feeling blocked by others feels real but is actually temporary. If youve been on the fence about pursuing a love interest, the last week of August is a good time to do so. You may be inspired to create better health habits, or to begin a new diet or fitness regimen.
August is a heavy, active month for your ruler, Neptune. Neptune opposes heavyweight Saturn, and forms three oppositions this month: to the Sun, Mercury, and then Venus. In many areas of your life, you are now dealing with culminations. On the 6-7 (as well as at the time of the Full Moon on the 9th), work conditions or issues come to a head. Perhaps you’re completing one job or project and moving on, or a job situation that has been building for some time reaches a head and something has to be done about it. Alternatively, this could play out with your health. A new discovery about your health, or a realization that you have to take attention to your health in your hands, can come now. You could also cement an important job, join a gym, or get news from the doctor. Pressures that have been building surface now and need to be dealt with. Around the 20th, similar events surface surrounding close partnerships. You may have been feeling some pressure from a partner or family member, and now is the time when you have to confront it and begin to deal with it. You may also receive important information today. Intimate and personal matters are brought up on the 26-27. Creative projects or romantic affairs need your attention.
Take charge of your health on the 6-7, and focus on new health regimes. As well, do what you can to improve your working conditions this month, or the cosmos will force you to do it. Pressures on the job are getting to you this month, and it’s time to formulate a plan for dealing with the responsibilities, but also for taking time to tend to your spiritual growth and needs for relaxation and peace of mind. Treat whatever issues that pop up for you in August as a heads-up rather than a setback.
Now for the best part: your co-ruler, Jupiter, trines electric Uranus in the last week of the month. You may find opportunities to enhance your happiness and luck through some sort of travel or movement. Your intuition is good, and your foresight is clearer than usual. You benefit from breadth of vision and a forward-looking disposition now.
Tricky days for finances occur on the 1-6, 12-14, 19-21, 23-25, and 28-30. Avoid speculation or new financial initiatives on these days. Partners may be especially involved with your own financial picture this month. The 12-14 is a red-flag period for you in terms of finances as well as partnerships. Opposition to your plans is likely, and some kind of disruption is probable. Expect the unexpected. The 28-30 could involve some minor loss or problem monetizing a project. You may discover that you don’t have enough money for a vacation, or that you spent far more than you had hoped on one. An excellent period for your personal finances occur on the 7-9, when you could see gains, particularly from your business or career, and even an in-law or grandparent. The 31st is also a good day for finances, and on the 24th, a partner could gain money.
Watch for an important heads-up around the 9th with regards to love affairs. Some tensions and adjustments are necessary in the first week of the month. A new beginning around the 23rd breathes some fresh air into your partnerships. The 24th and 31st are excellent days for you to attract a committed relationship, or to enhance an existing one.
Excellent days for scheduling job interviews, joining a gym, or for scheduling health appointments and medical visits occur on the 16-17 and the 31st. On the 9th, you need to face a few realities about your job or your state of health. It could be a tricky time, but ultimately liberating. Perhaps you realize that your job is less than ideal, for example, but the realization that you need to do it right comes at the same time. Excellent career prospects and opportunities for advancement and recognition occur on the 7-8 and in the last week of the month.
This month, Saturn opposes Neptune across your sixth and twelfth house axis. This tricky opposition is activated by the Full Moon on the 9th, by Mercury on the 20-21, and by Venus on the 26-27. You experience a clash between reality and your ideals and dreams, particularly with regards to your work, daily routines, and both your spiritual and physical health. You may become very demanding and critical of others, particularly those you deal with on a daily basis, those you serve, and those who serve you—or, more likely, they are demanding of you. Painful memories may surface that need to be dealt with, and fears and insecurities may not be based on realistic expectations. Since you set your goals for success far out of reach these days, you are likely to “fail” (at least in your eyes) during this time. It is difficult for you to separate fact from fiction, and you may feel that you are going through a “reality shift.” Fears and anxieties may be overwhelming at times, but remember that things are certainly not as bad as they seem. There can be a feeling of being drained by the demands (or even the lack of demands) of others, or frustrated because your work demands something concrete and secure, and you are not clear in terms of what you want. This feeling of being drained is experienced by all, but for you, your work, service, and health are the likely arenas where this influence will play out. This can also be an important month for your friendships and your sense of style and self-expression, also coming under the rule of Saturn and Neptune. Burdens, responsibilities, separations, or the need to mature quickly are things you are dealing with now in these life departments. The best way to handle this is to develop a workable plan for tending to your needs for job security as well as support from friends or from your community. Maturation is in order, and if you can think in terms of “building” slowly but surely, you will feel more grounded and realistic.
Jupiter trines Uranus in the last week of August. This transit is known for being lucky, and always brings something unexpected. You could have new opportunities presented to you, seemingly from out of nowhere, such as a chance to travel or for higher learning, a business or job opportunity, a sudden windfall, money from the blue, or a chance meeting with someone who opens your mind or contributes to your success. A chance to get away from it all may be part of the picture. Whatever it is, it will require immediate action on your part and it will probably be a wild departure from your norm. You may come up with innovative ideas that can be put into practice at a later time. You may find luck, ease of working conditions, and general good fortune coming through your social, business, and professional life. Honors, favors from superiors, public appointments, esteem and eventual social and financial success are all possible now.
Romantic Venus continues to warm your romance and pleasure sector until the 12th. During this cycle, the areas of life where you are most likely to express your social, romantic, and artistic qualities are through a genuine love of life, especially in romantic attachments, hobbies, personal pleasures, and social interests. Your infectious love of life and noble nature ensures social popularity, although, at times, you can be rather theatrical in order to hog the spotlight! You may be more inclined to show off your partner during this cycle. Appreciation of the arts is indicated. There is some predisposition to gambling or other forms of financial speculation now. You are feeling inspired creatively and romantically and you express your loving feelings quite openly now. Creative self-expression of any kind is favored at this time. You will also thoroughly enjoy artistic, musical, or cultural events and activities, especially in the company of a loved one. At this time, you instinctively know how to place yourself in the best light in order to make a good impression on others. Any love affair begun now will be characterized by good cheer, having fun, and a fair share of emotional drama!
Venus moves through your work and health sector from the 12th. With Venus in your sixth house, the areas of life where you are most likely to express your social, romantic, and artistic qualities are in establishing a happy and harmonious work environment through friendly relations with colleagues. Romantic and social activities may revolve around your working environment. You are generally well liked and respected socially on the job right now. This is a good time to promote harmony and good will on the job. Some laziness is possible now, as you tend to associate pleasure with work. Perhaps you are socializing more than usual on the job. You have good team spirit during this cycle, and you are more tactful and obliging with your co-workers. You are less inclined to fall in love for the sake of love itself during this cycle. Your tendency is to consider whether it is clever to do so! You’re most successful doing tasks that involve cooperation and team harmony, or the personal, human side of things.
Mercury enlivens your romance and pleasure sector (along with Venus) until the 11th. Your mental and communicative abilities will largely be applied to personal issues during this cycle. Although very intelligent, your mind will often dwell on pleasures, hobbies, lovemaking, and amusements; you especially enjoy games requiring mental competition now. You have a deep need for mental pleasure and intellectual stimulation. Therefore, your friends and romantic partner are best appreciated now if they are intellectual types. You’re more willing to take risks on a mental level now, so take advantage of the increased spontaneity and creativity that comes with this position.
Chatty Mercury is in your work and health sector from the 11-27. Your mental and communicative abilities will largely be applied to acquiring specialized skills or knowledge for professional use, and much of your thinking is directed towards how you can organize your daily activities. Your work may demand an intellectual quality of mind, analytical ability, and attention to detail. There is a concern for personal health, hygiene, organization, and polite speech during this cycle. The pace of your work environment is quickened, with lots of ideas and new information coming in. You may learn a skill or piece of technical information that assists your work performance. This is a good time for getting rid of unwanted habits and replacing them with healthier ones. Do your best to balance work with rest. Also, try to avoid criticizing others unwittingly in your attempts to improve your environment or your working conditions.
Mars continues moves through your partnership sector all month. The drama of this position begins to ease around the 7th. With Mars in the seventh house, you are likely to exert your energy and initiative in active co-operation with others as associates or in partnerships of some kind. You can be aggressive and forceful in intimate relationships, or your partner may be displaying these traits. It is important to be restrained in all dealings with associates, business partners, and intimate partners. If you are too aggressive or dominant now, there is danger of trouble and loss through public opposition, unpopularity, damaged relationships, or even litigation in rare cases. This cycle tests your ability to resolve interpersonal conflicts. Remember that anger is often a mask for hurt feelings. There’s bound to be a lot of friction or push and pull as you strive to balance your style and agenda with another’s.
Highlights:
July 25 New Moon in Leo in your solar sixth house affects you until the next New Moon. The New Moon in the sixth house heralds a time when new diet regimes, healthy routines, and satisfying work schedules can be successfully initiated. It is a time of taking care of business, handling details, and increasing your efficiency by re-organizing or simply by working enthusiastically at tasks that help you get caught up in your work. It is also a good time for analysis of any sort, as critical thinking is now at its peak. This period is marked by a desire to sort things out, but also to be useful.
July 26-27 Venus trines Jupiter. Under this influence, good humor, good will, strong morals, and a healthy sense of responsibility all contribute to a happy time. We are able to achieve growth through good feelings now. You may receive great news or praise, and increases may be seen from work.
July 27-28 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it’s time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won’t work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it’s best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.
July 27-29 Mercury is stationary direct. When Mercury is stationary, as it is now, it’s especially important to prepare for possible breakdowns in communication. Back up your computer, double-check your paperwork, and remember that you may not have all the necessary information to make big decisions for the time being. Avoid signing contracts or deals, as they may not work out as you expected, or might need revision later. As Mercury regains speed in the next week, improvements will be seen, but you may want to hold off on new deals until after August 4th.
July 30-31 Venus trines Uranus. Romantic surprises. Under this influence, we lose our fear of taking risks and we happily embrace all that is new, unusual, and out-of-the-ordinary with regards to romantic involvements as well as financial undertakings. We are ready to experiment, but not necessarily ready to commit. Creative inspiration can be had now. We have an offbeat, pleasant attitude and we are more willing to socialize. This is a good time for financial undertakings involving electronics, technology, the internet, metaphysics, and the arts, as well as for group activities.
August 1-2 Our egos may be a bit out of control with the Sun in tense aspect to Jupiter and Pluto. Expansion is possible if we can keep our egos in check! In your case, ego trips and conflicts on the job are very likely now. Resist the temptation to overstate your feelings or to jump to dramatic conclusions.
August 3-5 Awkward aspects involving Venus-Neptune, Mercury-Pluto, and Sun-Uranus suggest some adjustments are necessary. This is a time when we tend to second-guess, re-think, and temporarily lose our faith in people. This could be a challenging period for your close partnerships in particular, as well as family relations (disappointments are possible), and work or health matters. You may find yourself at odds with a sibling, neighbor, or partner. You could also temporarily question whether your partner values the same things as you do, or if you are getting satisfaction from your work. Remember that your frustrations could only be a projection of your own insecurities and doubts. Strive to be more objective.
August 4-5 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you’re noticed for what you’ve done or haven’t done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don’t be afraid to show others exactly what you’re made of. You’re at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.
August 6-9 The Sun aligns with Saturn in Leo, and Mars forms a harmonious aspect with Jupiter. We become aware of increased responsibilities in our careers, love affairs, or family life. Perhaps we recognize the dangers of stress and overwork. We have a chance to become more mature, goal-oriented, and responsible. This can be a good time to begin a cycle in which we build a business, especially a creative one, or re-commit to a long-term project. Decisive action comes naturally now. We possess willpower, verve, and energy that we can direct toward achieving our goals. We want to branch out and take on more challenges. Positive yet realistic attitudes create winning situations now. A spirit of friendly competition prevails, as well as the desire to take beneficial action. For you, circumstances are such that you become acutely aware of a maturation process with regards to how you handle your work, daily routines, health, and working relationships. You are required to come up with something solid now in terms of your level of commitment to your work or to your daily and health routines. You may be required to call upon your more responsible side in order to deal with a work matter. Issues surrounding your friendships or group associations may be part of the picture. Your personal income may get a boost. Your career may enjoy a healthy injection of adventure and verve.
August 9 Full Moon in Aquarius in your solar twelfth house. This Full Moon highlights a Saturn-Neptune opposition, bringing into our awareness a clash between our ideals and reality. Challenges in your spiritual life, work, and health matters may come to light, and you may be feeling drained by the demands of these areas of your life. Striking a balance is in order, but getting to that medium ground may be a bit of a struggle. Circumstances are such that you have an overwhelming need to be alone. You’ve been busy with all sorts of everyday activities, deeply involved in your work and routines. It’s time to balance your life with some down timeotherwise, you simply don’t feel whole. Issues come to light that originate from deep within. It’s an excellent time to get in touch with what’s been brewing beneath the surface.
August 9-13 Uranus is in hard aspect to Mercury, Venus, and Mars, while the Sun opposes Neptune. Infatuations are more likely now–with people, things, and ideas. The desire for something new and exotic–something that breaks the routine–is strong during this period. Unusual attractions (to people and things) can have us acting on a whim. We may deal with freedom versus closeness issues in our relationships. We have a tendency to take risks, to feel restless, and to act on sudden impulses without considering consequences. We assert our wills and individuality powerfully, and we are willing to fight for freedom. There may be changes in work schedules, or life’s circumstances could challenge us in such a way that we need to change our goals or actions. Some disappointments or disillusionments are also possible now. The demands made upon you at work could strain you and make you want to escape. You could also clash with a close partner now. Avoid confrontations with your partner, who could be having a hard time with your recent show of independence; and also take care that what you write or say doesn’t cause controversy or backlash.
August 10-11 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It’s all about you now, so it’s time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.
August 12-13 Monthly money and income peak. You’re looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don’t have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up nowthe discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.
August 16-17 The Sun trines Pluto, and we are able to get to the bottom of things. We are more decisive than usual, and our abilities to concentrate and focus help us achieve what we set out to do. This is a very positive aspect for starting a money-making endeavor or a new project. Research brings rewards. We benefit now from strategy and keeping things to ourselves for the time being. Opportunities to find or renew something we had lost, and to gain some power are available now. This energy urges you to express the “real you” with confidence, but also with discretion. You don’t need to put all of your cards on the table just now. Lessons from your past could boost your working relationships now and into the future. This is an excellent period for you to get recognition on the job, to discover something that enhances your health, and to schedule a job interview. Headway could be made in your career now.
August 19-20 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.
August 19-21 Mercury conjuncts Saturn, quincunxes Uranus, and opposes Neptune; Venus forms a tense aspect with Pluto. This is a time when you are inclined to sort out your thoughts and re-think your strategies. Do just that, and avoid speaking out prematurely. You are required to show your responsible side, even if you are feeling a bit disappointed, or even disillusioned, with your life just now. This is a time when you need to re-formulate life strategies. It’s probably wise not to believe everything you hear now, as some important information may be omitted. Some tensions on the job are possible now. In general, others seem to be misunderstanding you. You could be at war with a partner over a serious issue.
August 22-23 Venus squares Jupiter. Use caution with your finances and your heart. If something seems too good to be true, it may very well be at this time! Feelings of elation in love or with regards to the pleasures of life can lead us to overdo, overindulge, overspend, and overstate our feelings. We might take great strides to get noticed. Avoid hasty (or haughty!) decisions, and steer clear of impulsive buying. Take a letter, email, or other form of communication with a grain of salt.
August 23 New Moon in Virgo in your solar seventh house affects you until the next New Moon. Negotiations and diplomacy are highlighted during this period, as it is a favorable time to begin new relationships or to re-define existing ones. Issues of sharing and partnership come to the fore. Increased awareness of the need for someone significant to lean on or to rely on is often associated with this position. Working on, or resolving to work on, relationships that are mutually supportive is a good idea at this time. If you find yourself sensitive to the feeling of lacking support from partners, this may be a good time to ask yourself how companionable you are, and work on developing yourself in this area of life. You might just find that this is a period when you are at your most gracious. It is also a good time to make contacts and to make something public.
August 24 Mercury trines Pluto, and we stand to gain enormous insight into problems, projects, and people! Conversations today could help you solve nagging problems in your life and allow you to move forward. Good news about your job may be forthcoming today. This is an excellent day for strengthening a close partnership or family relationship.
August 24-25 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it’s time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won’t work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it’s best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.
August 26-27 Venus conjuncts Saturn and opposes Neptune. Relationships are tricky and perhaps disappointing for the time being. We might want a commitment while a significant other remains evasive and hard to pin down–or vice versa. This is a time when your work load could be heavy, and your job or employer demands something concrete from you. His or her problems or seriousness affect you strongly. Ambiguities concerning your own spiritual direction, however, may have you feeling anxious, but there’s no better time than now to formulate realistic plans for improving your commitments. You could be feeling underappreciated or even financially drained.
August 28-30 Mars squares Pluto and Jupiter trines Uranus. This is a time of fun surprises and interesting opportunities. For you, it’s reward time! You may have new opportunities presented to you, seemingly from out of nowhere, such as a career opportunity, financial boost, or a chance meeting with someone who contributes to your success. Whatever it is, it will require immediate action on your part and it will probably be a wild departure from your norm. You are bound to come up with innovative ideas that can be put into practice at a later time. However, a power struggle with a close partner or over a financial or business matter could have you squirming. Do your best to let things flow naturally or you’ll only serve to stress yourself out, when the truth is, this is an opportunity period for you.
August 31-September 1 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you’re noticed for what you’ve done or haven’t done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don’t be afraid to show others exactly what you’re made of. You’re at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.
August 31-September 1 Venus trines Pluto and the Sun conjuncts Mercury. A conversation or communication with a partner (or potential partner) today could open the doors to a new opportunity. Use diplomacy and tact, and truly listen to what others are saying now. This is an excellent day for boosting your position on the job.

Pisces (Born February 20 to March 1) and Pisces Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Pisces:
July 2006: Pisces Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
July
Overview. Until the 22nd, the Sun illuminates your pleasure and romance sector. More than any time of the year, this is the cycle in which you focus on having fun, enjoying romance, and expressing yourself creatively. Your hobbies, leisure time, moments spent with children, gaming time, and so forth, all come into focus at this time of year. This is a cycle in which you find joy in expressing who you are–when your “inner child” comes out to play. This is a time when you are more flirtatious than usual, and when you might take a few risks in life–not only gambling with games but with life itself. You might be a bit of a showman at this time. You are likely feeling good in general, and you tend to spread the joy.
From the 22nd, the Sun puts a spotlight on your work and health sector. Your physical health, as well as the relationship between your body and your mind, are in focus. More than any time of the year, you are conscious of your mental and physical health, daily routines, everyday working life, and your working methods. You are more aware than usual of the necessity of hierarchies, and you make sure that every wheel in the mechanism functions. Details are more important to you now. It’s time to bring order to your life by focusing on the little things that make up the whole. Your ego is tied up in the work you do during this cycle, so focus on getting the job done right. You are interested in improving the quality of the service you provide and upgrading efficiency or your skills. You may be recognized for your excellent work, but mainly you want the satisfaction of a job well done. You also have to attend to little niggling details. If your regular routine doesn’t provide you satisfaction now, you need to look at where you can make improvements.
The Mercury retrograde cycle from the 4-28 affects your sixth house and mostly your fifth house of romance, speculation, entertainment, and children. Arguments with a lover may be blown out of proportion. Both you and your lover should avoid harping on the words used and try to get to the meaning behind the words instead. Speculation and gambling are not advised right now. It will be important to avoid signing any contracts or making important partnership or family/home decisions.
Jupiter goes direct on the 6th. For you, this suggests that matters pertaining to higher education, travel, career, and reputation are beginning to show signs of moving forward after a period of stagnation. The first signs of resolution for these issues will be with you this month. You are likely to project more confidence through a more competent, spontaneous, jovial, and spiritually centered demeanor.
Youre pouring a lot of energy into pleasure and love relationships this month. A partner may be re-considering things this month, which could have you on your toes. However, you have charm working on your side, especially after the 18th. You come across swimmingly from the 26-31, and love is in the air. Be cautious with your pocketbook on the 4th-6th.
Your ruler, Neptune, trines Venus on the 9-10–an excellent period for you when you may attract love (or money), and when you feel especially appreciated and valued. The 4-6 could be a challenging period for you when you encounter opposition, particularly on the job. You may be feeling blocked, restless, and impatient. The 21-22 is a brief period when you are feeling undervalued or unappreciated.
Some challenges with money can occur around the 4-6. However, excellent days for financial matters occur on the 13-16. Misunderstandings with a lover are possible this month, particularly around the 11th, but you can successfully use your charm and negotiation skills to smooth over differences. Close personal relationships, including marriage or other committed partnerships, benefit most on the 28-31, when the air is cleared and things seem to be moving forward. The biggest challenges to close personal relationships this month occur on the 9-12, when erratic behavior is a factor, and the 18-20, when manipulation or mind games may be part of the picture.
Venus journeys through your home and family sector until the 18th. What you are most attracted to now are the depths of the soul, your roots, the home, and a feeling of security. You are more nurturing in your love relationships, and you take whatever steps that are necessary to create a peaceful and pleasant environment in your home and with family members. You could experience strong emotional romanticism at this time, and what touches you is what lies below the surface. You feel most loved when you are taken care of and when you feel included–like you belong. As well, if you are able to express your deepest feelings with a partner, you are at your most satisfied. You are seeking inner peace during this cycle, but you could be feeling rather needy or dependent now.
Venus moves to your romance and pleasure sector on the 18th. This is great news for you! You are feeling inspired creatively and romantically and you express your loving feelings quite openly now. Creative self-expression of any kind is favored at this time. You will also thoroughly enjoy artistic, musical, or cultural events and activities, especially in the company of a loved one. At this time, you instinctively know how to place yourself in the best light in order to make a good impression on others. Any love affair begun now will be characterized by good cheer, having fun, and a fair share of emotional drama!
Mars, the planet of action, moves through your solar sixth house until the 22nd, and you have more energy at your disposal for work and fitness or other health routines. You are bound to take a head-on, direct approach to organizing your life and with regards to your working methods. Impatience with daily routines is also possible, particularly around the 4-6. You may be inclined to compete with others on a professional level, or at least to want to dominate or work solo. You are not in the mood to take orders just now! This period doesn’t favor teamwork. Avoid the tendency to argue with co-workers by doing whatever you can to work independently. You work with energy, impatience, and speed during this cycle. It’s a good time to focus on a fitness routine.
Mars is in your seventh house from the 22nd. Partnerships may suffer from ego conflicts, or adversaries may be challenging. Use this energy to work cooperatively on relationship problems. You may even find that you seem to need someone’s help in order to do what you want to do during this cycle. Relationships are vivacious and dynamic during this period. When a difference arises, you are quick to settle it, and have little patience for sweeping matters under the rug. Your close personal relationships are lively during this cycle–full of conflicts and resolutions or reconciliations.
The most rewarding period of the month is likely to be from the 18-27, when Venus is activating your pleasure sector and in harmony with your Sun. Being with people and enjoying good times (especially with beautiful, charming, lighthearted people) is really what you want now. You’re in a friendly and cooperative mood which brings ease to your interactions and an overall sense of harmony to your life. Because you are open to love and friendly gestures, you will attract loving people into your experience.
Highlights:
June 25 New Moon in Cancer just behind your solar fifth house affects you until the next New Moon. Creative self-expression comes under the realm of the fifth house, and a New Moon occurring here sparks the creative juices. Romantic inclinations are also highlighted, as are any kind of celebratory, playful, and just-for-fun endeavors. You will be especially aware of your need for approval and feedback from others, deriving pleasure from the ways your own creativity impact the world around you. This can be a passionate time for you, and a time when you might feel more bold than usual. If you are feeling good about yourself, and especially if you have taken advantage of the time for re-building of confidence that the New Moon in the fourth house brought, you will fairly radiate during this expressive period.
June 25-26 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.
June 25-26 Your ruler, Neptune, forms a tense aspect with the Sun, and you may not be received well, or others could question your authority just now. This may be especially likely on the job.
June 30-July 1 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it’s time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won’t work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it’s best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.
June 30-July 2 Venus trines Chiron and sextiles Saturn, and the Sun trines Jupiter. Romantic energy is strong, and good will reigns. This is a strong period for both relationships and finances. Healing energies are with us, and we tend to attract good things with our positive attitudes. For you, career matters, joint finances, investments, insurance and tax matters should go well.
July 3-5 Mercury is stationary retrograde now, and will remain retrograde until the 28th–a cycle when rethinking things is the name of the game. When Mercury is stationary, as it is now, it’s especially important to prepare for possible breakdowns in communication. Back up your computer, double-check your paperwork, and remember that you may not have all the necessary information to make big decisions for the time being. Avoid signing contracts or deals, as they may not work out as you expected, or might need revision later.
July 4-5 With Mars opposite Neptune, the planet of illusion, we could find ourselves spinning our wheels. We want more from our actions than simple, everyday results–we’re seeking inspiration, bliss, release, anything that makes us feel like we’re not locked into the mundane world. Watch for passive-aggressive and manipulative behavior, simply because it can be a challenge to move forward and grab what we want if we take a direct, simple route. If something looks too good to be true now, it may very well be. A face-off with a co-worker is possible now. Disappointments with finances may also be part of the picture.
July 6-7 Freedom of movement and of thought are especially important to us right now. Venus squares Uranus and semi-squares Mercury, and the Sun trines Uranus. It’s a time when we can safely “expect the unexpected”, particularly when it comes to personal relationships. Watch for impulsive spending or fickle behavior in love. Flexibility is the key to success now.
July 7-8 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you’re noticed for what you’ve done or haven’t done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don’t be afraid to show others exactly what you’re made of. You’re at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.
July 9-10 Venus harmonizes with Neptune and Mercury and Uranus form a tense aspect. Romantic relationships have a touch of magic right now. We see the very best in people now, and this eases our interactions and takes the pressure off in personal relationships. This is a period of reading between the lines and thinking outside the box. Your powers of attraction are very high right now. Others see you in a most positive light.
July 11 Full Moon in Capricorn in your solar eleventh house. This Full Moon trines Uranus, adding insight, the ability to free ourselves from parts of our past that have been limiting us, and a feeling of truly moving ahead to issues illuminated by the Full Moon. You’ve been focusing on what brings you pleasureyour hobbies, romantic activities, and so forth. Now you realize that the role you play in others’ lives (as a spouse, parent, friend) is an important element in your overall happiness. You’re looking for validation from friends and group activities now, and there may be a big social event or group activity in the works.
July 13-16 Intense energy is with us now with Venus opposite Pluto and sextile Mars, Mars trine Pluto, and Jupiter and Saturn involved. Romantic, creative, and sexual intensity is what these influences are all about. There can be a confrontation or drama in personal relationships that leads to greater closeness and understanding–even ecstasy. Interactions are complex and dynamic now, and our relationships have more verve than usual. We are more inclined to go after what we want. Some feelings of being blocked are also possible, which could propel us to try harder. The most probable arena for these energies to take place in your life is with family and professional associates.
July 14-15 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It’s all about you now, so it’s time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.
July 16-17 Monthly money and income peak. You’re looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don’t have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up nowthe discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.
July 21-22 Hard aspects between Venus and Neptune and the Sun and Uranus make for an awkward, erratic, and perhaps disappointing couple of days. We could feel that our relationships are missing important elements, or we may face reality after engaging in self-deception. Surprises or changes in plans can throw us off center. You could be feeling underappreciated, left out, or completely misunderstood. A partner may be at odds with you. We should feel re-energized by the 23rd, however, when both the Sun and Mars enter new signs.
July 22-23 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.
July 25 New Moon in Leo in your solar sixth house affects you until the next New Moon. The New Moon in the sixth house heralds a time when new diet regimes, healthy routines, and satisfying work schedules can be successfully initiated. It is a time of taking care of business, handling details, and increasing your efficiency by re-organizing or simply by working enthusiastically at tasks that help you get caught up in your work. It is also a good time for analysis of any sort, as critical thinking is now at its peak. This period is marked by a desire to sort things out, but also to be useful.
July 26-27 Venus trines Jupiter. Under this influence, good humor, good will, strong morals, and a healthy sense of responsibility all contribute to a happy time. We are able to achieve growth through good feelings now. You may receive great news or praise, and increases may be seen from work.
July 27-28 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it’s time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won’t work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it’s best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.
July 27-29 Mercury is stationary direct. When Mercury is stationary, as it is now, it’s especially important to prepare for possible breakdowns in communication. Back up your computer, double-check your paperwork, and remember that you may not have all the necessary information to make big decisions for the time being. Avoid signing contracts or deals, as they may not work out as you expected, or might need revision later. As Mercury regains speed in the next week, improvements will be seen, but you may want to hold off on new deals until after August 4th.
July 30-31 Venus trines Uranus. Romantic surprises. Under this influence, we lose our fear of taking risks and we happily embrace all that is new, unusual, and out-of-the-ordinary with regards to romantic involvements as well as financial undertakings. We are ready to experiment, but not necessarily ready to commit. Creative inspiration can be had now. We have an offbeat, pleasant attitude and we are more willing to socialize. This is a good time for financial undertakings involving electronics, technology, the internet, metaphysics, and the arts, as well as for group activities.

Pisces (Born February 20 to March 1) and Pisces Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Pisces:
June 2006: Pisces Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
June
Overview. Until the 21st of June, the Sun puts the spotlight on your sector of home and family, and these areas are your instinctive focus during this period. Besides spending more time tending to domestic affairs, the focus can be on cultivating and nourishing your inner foundations that support your life. This is a time to collect yourself–to fill your well, so to speak. You take more pride in your family, your home, and your heritage during this cycle.
From the 21st, the Sun brings to light your romantic, creative, and pleasurable urges, and you come out of your shell. A strong urge for privacy and down time give way to a more outgoing and indulgent frame of mind. The Sun spotlighting this area of your chart makes spontaneous self-expression easy. You want to have a little fun, and your creative impulses are especially strong. Find outlets for expressing your unique, playful personality during this period, as this is the ideal time to do so. You take great pride in what you do and what you create now. You are also more inclined to take small risks, as confidence is high. Emotional inspiration can be found now. Next month you can deal with niggling little details. For now, you have more creative pursuits on the agenda!
A long-term trend this year involves more interest in your spirituality. Your outlook on life is heavily influenced by what is going on subconsciously. Something about your personality reflects your desire to help other people and they can easily recognize this. You may experience a time of confusion and doubt about who you really are and you can be your own worst enemy at times. The most important person you may have to forgive is yourself! Uranus’ retrograde in Pisces brings these matters to light, and you might take some extra time to yourself for introspection and reflection. You may experience a period of turning inward, as you re-evaluate the way you come across to others–your image, mannerisms, and appearance–in order to determine whether you are expressing authenticity and sincerity in your approach to others. Another long-term trend involves the connection between your solar ninth and tenth houses. Your personal philosophies on life could receive public attention. There could be a movement in your career towards travel, law, publishing, teaching or sports. Your career could require long distance travel or even travel overseas, and you may be called upon to do more teaching on the job. These themes figure strongly in your life this month with the rulers of your ninth and tenth houses involved in a semi-square.
Your ruler, Neptune, receives a healthy trine from the Sun around the time of the New Moon, the 10-11. This is an excellent period for family and work matters, as well as confidence. Neptune squares Venus in your solar third house on the 14-15, when you could too easily be misunderstood.
With the ruler of your personal finances, Mars, moving into Leo this month, you could express more generosity and you could be more grand in the way you spend and give money. You could also be working harder than usual in order to make extra money. Challenging days for finances occur on the 1-3, when impulsiveness with money could be costly, the 6-11, and the 18-21. You could see some returns on your investments and increased business income on the 16-17, and this could motivate you to work even harder.
This month, your work could involve the domestic scene or may be related to property and real estate. You may work from home.
You have more energy for work this month, particularly from the 3rd. Excellent days for work and health matters occur on the 10-11 and June 30-July 1. Tensions on the job could arise on the 4-5, 6-9, 13-15, and 25-26. Health issues may be part of the picture on the 25-26, when your vitality is lower than usual.
Love affairs often heat up for you around the time of the Full Moon each month. This month’s Full Moon occurs on the 11th. The 9-12 are excellent days for you to attract love, or to solve problems in existing romantic relationships. A spouse or close partner could be especially playful and romantic this month, and might also demand a little more specialized attention. Romantic opportunities are also strong from the 21-30, when the Sun trines your Sun/Ascendant from your romance and pleasure sector.
Venus infuses charm into your communications until the 24th. Courteous and friendly relations with neighbors and others in your immediate environment typify this time cycle. It’s a time of peacemaking and forming bridges of good will and cooperation with people you meet on a daily or casual basis. Sending notes of appreciation and similar loving gestures lighten the atmosphere. Take time to do little favors, exchange pleasantries, notice the flowers in your neighbor’s garden, and comment on the positive things you see around you. Focus on humor and lighthearted conversation. Venus moves through your solar fourth house from the 24th, when your home and family can be the source of great comfort and enjoyment. Efforts to enhance your home, such as through decorating or landscaping, are favored. Intimate and happy gatherings with family and close friends are favored and domestic relationships in general are easier and friendlier. This would be an ideal time for a family reunion, for example.
The planet of action, Mars, activates your work and health sector from the 3rd. You have more energy for work and your daily routines tend to speed up during this transit. Perhaps you have a larger workload than usual. It’s a great time to take charge of your health. You have much energy at your disposal to pick up (or step up) a health and physical activity program. It might be hard for you to work with others in a harmonious manner during this transit, and disputes with co-workers are possible. If you are feeling especially angry, frustrated, or restless, it would be wise to find little projects and things to do so that you can channel excess energy constructively, particularly around the 1-3 and 19-21. If health is affected, fevers or infections are more likely during this cycle.
Mercury transits your solar fifth from the 3-28, and intellectual diversions satisfy you most. It’s a good time to come up with some especially creative ideas, as the flow of your thoughts is more spontaneous and playful than usual. From the 28th, Mercury enlivens your work and health sector, keeping things chatty and busy on the job. The pace of your work environment is quickened, with lots of ideas and new information coming in. With Mars here as well, there’s bound to be quite a bit of movement in these areas of your life.
When the Sun trines your Sun/Ascendant from the 21-30, you feel energetically supported by others and by the circumstances of your life, making this period one of the most rewarding of the month. Mercury and Venus in warm aspect to your Sun/Ascendant from the 3-8 makes this period an excellent time to present your ideas, as others receive you warmly.
May 27 New Moon in Gemini in your solar fourth house affects you for approximately 4 weeks (until the next New Moon). Home and family may be a focus during this phase. On a personal, developmental level, this is a time to not only listen to what is in your gut, but to pay homage to those feelings! What makes you feel safe and secure? This is the time to explore and develop a sense of inner security. Although the fourth house is associated with the home, it is an angular, cardinal house that stirs up activity. This is a time of re-organization and heightened awareness of your roots, issues of intimacy and vulnerability, and it’s an excellent time to come in touch with your feelings and needs. Focusing on your support system and the manner in which you support others is also probable. This is a good time to make long-range plans for the future, to do any type of re-organizing or even re-modeling of the home or home environment, and for family-related activities.
June 3-4 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it’s time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won’t work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it’s best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.
June 4-7 Some exciting yet unstable energy is with us during this period. Venus forms tense aspects with Saturn, Jupiter, Chiron, and Pluto, and we can experience a confusing mix of feelings on social and romantic levels. Overdoing it, under-doing it, and general see-sawing when it comes to relationships and finances are the theme. Further, the Sun forms tense aspects with Mars and Uranus, inviting us to take risks, but we may not be considering the consequences! It’s a less than ideal time to start a relationship or to make a significant purchase. For you, your ruler (Neptune) forms a tense aspect with Mercury during this period, suggesting some problems being understood or heard; and your family and partnership sectors are stimulated, bringing issues surrounding these areas of life to the forefront.
June 9-12 Mercury trines Jupiter and then Uranus, offering us breakthrough insights and downright brilliant ideas if we choose to listen to our intuition. The Sun also trines dreamy Neptune and Venus sextiles Uranus–the picture is very pretty indeed! Let loose, have some fun, and enjoy this smooth energy. With your ruler in harmonious aspect to the Sun, you are received well and things seem to flow smoothly. Others may recognize you as a leader in some manner.
June 10-11 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you’re noticed for what you’ve done or haven’t done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don’t be afraid to show others exactly what you’re made of. You’re at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.
June 11 Full Moon in Sagittarius in your solar tenth house. This Full Moon involves Pluto and is supported by Neptune, intensifying issues illuminated by the Full Moon, but with the potential for acceptance and clearer understanding–even spiritual enlightenment. You are suddenly in the limelighteveryone notices you now. It’s time to put your best foot forward, but be sure to do so with grace and consideration for others, or you may just make a display that you regret later. Perhaps you’ve been hiding yourself away, taking it easy. Now you need a little attention, and career matters come to a head. You’re called to perform, perhaps on a moment’s notice, and it’s best to keep your cool and do whatever you can to show your competence.
June 14-15 Your ruler, Neptune, is square Venus, bringing love, romance, and financial matters to the fore. There could be some miscommunications or disagreements regarding money during this period. Avoid new financial initiatives just now.
June 16-17 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It’s all about you now, so it’s time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.
June 18-19 Monthly money and income peak. You’re looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don’t have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up nowthe discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.
June 18-19 Mars conjoins Saturn and squares Jupiter. We’re forced to do things by the book, but may not want to. This is not the time to take shortcuts–they won’t work. When we think in big terms, or if we have the urge to expand, we confront obstacles or face reality. Some re-structuring of our lives and of our business goals is now in order. We may be looking for new challenges, sometimes because we are forced to do so (because things are not going exactly as we had planned). We have a desire to grow and expand, but our attitude is tempered with some caution and feelings of restriction. It is best to breathe new life into old plans rather than to strike out with a new plan altogether. Take steps to grow, but don’t overextend yourself at this time or you are bound to face frustrations. The delays we may face now are actually fortunate ones! Patience and endurance leads to accomplishment and slow but steady progress in business and practical matters. This is an excellent time for you to make a commitment to a new health regime or diet, as well as to a new work-related or organizing project.
June 25 New Moon in Cancer just behind your solar fifth house affects you until the next New Moon. Creative self-expression comes under the realm of the fifth house, and a New Moon occurring here sparks the creative juices. Romantic inclinations are also highlighted, as are any kind of celebratory, playful, and just-for-fun endeavors. You will be especially aware of your need for approval and feedback from others, deriving pleasure from the ways your own creativity impact the world around you. This can be a passionate time for you, and a time when you might feel more bold than usual. If you are feeling good about yourself, and especially if you have taken advantage of the time for re-building of confidence that the New Moon in the fourth house brought, you will fairly radiate during this expressive period.
June 25-26 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.
June 25-26 Your ruler, Neptune, forms a tense aspect with the Sun, and you may not be received well, or others could question your authority just now. This may be especially likely on the job.
June 30-July 1 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it’s time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won’t work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it’s best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.
June 30-July 1 Venus trines Chiron and the Sun trines Jupiter. Romantic energy is strong, and good will reigns. This is a strong period for both relationships and finances. Healing energies are with us, and we tend to attract good things with our positive attitudes. For you, career matters, joint finances, investments, insurance and tax matters should go well.

May 2006: Pisces Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
May
Overview. Until the 21st of May, you are especially mentally active and communicative. It’s a great time to network, strengthen casual connections to people in your immediate environment, You are more curious and alert than usual, and considerably more busy with errands, paperwork, phone calls, and light socializing. It’s not a time when you are especially focused. In fact, you could have a finger in many pies right now. From the 21st, the Sun illuminates your sector of home and family. All of the inner foundations that make you feel secure and safe are in focus: family and roots, your home, and your nearest and dearest. This is the best time of year to get your bearings and to nourish your sense of safety. This way, you can feel at peace because you have somewhere to retreat or return to that makes you feel good. Spending time with family, organizing your home and domestic routines, and other such activities are favored now.
From the 3-29, the goddess of love and money travels through your money and values sector, where she feels quite at home. During this cycle, you are especially attracted to comfort and luxury items, as well as things that have long-term potential and value. You are more stable in your affections, valuing pleasurable yet solid relations more than usual. New relationships started under this cycle are likely to be durable and rather steady. Because Venus rules your eighth house, other people’s money or resources can strengthen your own financial picture this month. Venus also rules your communications sector, and writing, speaking, or transportation could also add to your income in May. At the very least, you are busy entertaining money-making ideas this month. From the 29th, Venus journeys through your communications sector, and friendly relations with people you meet on a casual basis come naturally. It’s easy during this period to make lighthearted conversation, to enjoy exchanging pleasantries, and to make friendly contact with others. If a new romance were to begin after the 29th, it would likely be quite casual and perhaps largely based on intellectual rapport.
Mercury, the planet of communications, moves through your second house until the 5th, making it a strong period for getting an objective view on your financial picture. Family activities make you feel especially secure, and you could be considering making purchases for your home. From the 5-19, Mercury journeys through your communications sector, which suggests you are rather chatty, communicative, and alert. You are likely to hear a whole slew of different stories, news, and gossip during this period. It’s an especially favorable period to write, take tests, fill out applications, and so forth. Metaphysical, psychological, and other “deep” topics are especially interesting now. Your partner may be especially curious, busy, and communicative during this cycle. Domestic and personal matters rise to the forefront of your thoughts from the 19th. Your home life is rather busy during this cycle, whether it’s due to increased mental activity, lively conversations and discussions, or entertaining visitors. It’s a good time to get an objective perspective on your domestic affairs and family relationships. As well, you could be inclined to spend some quality time at home with your significant other, who likely prefers quiet, intimate times just now.
The grand trine on May 4-9 falls in your self-expression sectors, and you feel particularly courageous and pioneering. Advances can also be made with personal finances, your career, and any matter that requires drawing upon your personal resources. It’s a good time to travel, if this is possible, and sound speculation is favored as well. Creative ventures also fare well.
A long-term trend has you expanding your career horizons.
More and more, your personal philosophies and views receive public attention, and you may find that teaching is incorporated into your career. This month and next, these trends are especially strong with your ninth and tenth rulers in aspect to each other. You may experience some tensions near the end of May, as you could be asking yourself whether your career leaves room for growth. Your work this month involves quite a bit of movement (for example, running errands and making connections), mental activity, and talk. Work is especially rewarding on the 27th, and some challenges or confusion are likely on the 9-10.
Your attitude towards your personal finances is a little more bold this month, as you are inclined towards taking a few risks. The 4-8 is an excellent period for launching new financial initiatives, while caution should be exercised on the 16-17 and 22-24, particularly with investing and speculation.
Romance is heating up and quite lively this month. A lover may be restless mid-month, and it’s a good time for a romantic get-away. An excellent period for attracting love is the 4-8. Challenges in your love life are possible on the 16-17 and likely on the 22-24.
Mars moves through your romance and pleasure sector all month. This is a very self-expressive time when you have lots of energy, but not necessarily self-discipline to match. You have more energy at your disposal to express yourself creatively, through activities with children, romantic activities, hobbies, or sports. Your love life may step up a notch, and this could be an especially passionate time. You tend to put more energy into play and pleasure! Be careful not to burn the candle at both ends. Also, watch out for a tendency to want to gamble. You are more playful than usual, and especially magnetic.

Highlights:
April 27 New Moon in Taurus in your solar third house affects you until the next New Moon. The third house rules our communication skills, learning, methods, daily interactions and contact, and general “busy-ness”. This is a favorable time for learning something new, feeling at ease in social situations, taking care of the details of daily life, and developing a mental rapport with others.

Our intuition is good, we have a feel for new things and ideas, and we can benefit from timely action. Begin a creative activity (or enjoy the fruits of a successful one), and listen to your intuition. As long as we aren’t foolhardy, this is a good time for speculation, self-promotion, and recognition.

The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it’s best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role.

It’s a great time to make a presentation or to start an important conversation.
May 13 Full Moon in Scorpio in your solar ninth house. This Full Moon is supported by Mars and challenged by Neptune, cautioning us that we may be reading too much (or too little) into issues illuminated by the Full Moon. However, this can be a spiritually enlightening time. Your attention to the logical world of reason has been a focus in the last two weeks. Now you feel a crisis of lack. Your personal beliefs may be tested now. Your impulses and faith matter, and all of the attention you’ve been giving to mundane affairs has you wondering when you’re going to have some fun. You want to take a leap of faith now. Your adventurous side pushes up and out, demanding attention.
May 14 Your ruler, Neptune, challenges Mercury. A conflict of wills or blockages can occur with a significant other or a family member.

Pisces (Born February 20 to March 1) and Pisces Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Pisces:
April 2006: :Pisces Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
April
Overview. April is a playful, possibly self-indulgent, month for you. Venus entering your sign on the 5th puts you in the spotlight in a most charming and companionable manner, and fiery Mars enters your romance and pleasure sector mid-month. A solar eclipse at the end of March fell in your solar second house, and its effects reverberate throughout April (and beyond). The sequence of eclipses in Aries and Libra in the past while have called you to strike a balance between your own needs for security and comfort and the same needs of other people, often a significant other. Personal finances have been a strong focus. How well have you taken care of your finances? More importantly, have you taken charge of your personal sense of security? Issues of shared resources, sexuality, and possessions have come to the fore. With March’s eclipse, it’s time to start fresh with regards to how you go about satisfying your needs for security and comfort.
Mercury moving through your solar first house until the 16th makes you more talkative and sociable than usual. In the last two weeks of the month, you are thinking and talking about what you have and what you want! It’s a good period for strategizing and planning your personal finances. Mercury’s retrograde last month meant that others misunderstood what you had to say, and misread your body language as well. Partnership and family/home issues were compromised as well. Mercury moving forward means that problems you may have had with such matters are lifting. Your judgment was compromised in March, but this becomes a thing of the past in April. Now is the time when you can go ahead with partnership and family decisions. What you say now not only has impact, it’s understood and appreciated.
Venus moving into your solar first house on the 5th is a “feel good” transit. You are personable and your people skills are above par. It’s a good time to exert your personal influence, as you are especially cooperative and gracious during this period. What do you want? Now is the time when you can attract it. Although it wouldn’t be far-fetched to assume that gifts and rewards are coming your way, don’t sit around and wait. Circulate, express yourself, and have a little fun. Any new relationships started now are bound to be (at least a little bit) based on ego-stroking! Existing relationships take on a more playful tone. You’re making heads turn in April.
Mars continues its journey through your home and family sector until it enters Cancer and your solar fifth mid-month. You have more energy at your disposal for domestic projects or activities. Because your actions are governed by your instincts during this period, you may be especially defensive and protective. You may work hard at making yourself feel more secure, and you may be called upon to take charge on the home and family front. You may have more energy to invest in homemaking, house repairs, re-decorating, or family activities. In fact, if you are feeling very restless, moody, or defensive during this period, it would be a good idea to do any of these things! You may have an increased desire to rule the roost, and if this transit stimulates conflict or disputes, it is likely to be family-related–you may have arguments with them, about them, or on their behalf. You may also encounter opposition from career-related matters or people. Conflict is most probable around the 6th-9th, when Mars opposes Pluto. You could encounter some opposition, and it likely revolves around your public versus private life. Mars plays in your romance and pleasure sector from mid-month onward. This marks a very self-expressive time when you have lots of energy, but not necessarily self-discipline to match. You have more energy at your disposal to express yourself creatively, through activities with children, romantic activities, hobbies, or sports. Your love life may step up a notch, and this could be an especially passionate time. You tend to put more energy into play and pleasure! Be careful not to burn the candle at both ends. Also, watch out for a tendency to want to gamble. You are more playful than usual, and especially magnetic.
Saturn turning direct this month is good news for you. While Saturn was retrograde for the last 4-1/2 months, you may have felt blocked, especially with issues surrounding work and health. Stagnation and a feeling of being in a rut were likely. You may have been really dragging yourself out of bed in the morning! As well, health and vitality were not up to par. These matters are not going to be moving forward quickly just yet, but you will begin to feel more on top of things now. Take this opportunity to start a new health and diet regime.
Highlights:
March 29 New Moon in Aries (Total Solar Eclipse) in your solar second house. This energy is with you until the next New Moon, and beyond (its effects can extend up to 6 months). Heightened sensitivity to the world of the five senses, to your physical environment, and to the security you gain from the solid ground you have built for yourself is in order for this period of time. Attunement to, and appreciation of, the physical world of the senses is the focus, and this is a time to start fresh in terms of how you arrange your life in order to feel a sense of value and worthiness. Financial issues come into focus. Setting realistic financial goals, as well as formulating such things as budgets and other sensible financial planning projects, will be favored during this time. Discovering ways to increase your income is featured. It is also a wonderful time for taking moments to pleasure yourself through earthy, tactile, and comforting endeavors.
April 2-4 Some exciting cosmic energy is with us now. Venus is parallel Chiron and sextile Pluto, and Mercury re-visits its trine to Jupiter. This is an excellent period for financial undertakings, love, and overall good humor. If you’ve been waiting for the right time to make a purchase, here it is.
April 4-5 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.
April 6-9 Mars opposes Pluto and Mercury forms a tense aspect with Saturn. Conflicts are very possible now, and they likely revolve around attention given to family and to career. Avoid taking extreme measures to make things happen your way, and avoid people who might be doing same. Take a break if you can, and pass up on face-offs or battles of willit’s hard to win just now. Trying to get the upper hand is fruitless today.
April 8-9 Your ruler, Neptune, forms a harmonious aspect with the Sun. You are displaying strength of mind and character, leadership skills, and direction. A good period for furthering your goals, exerting your personal influence, and self-expression on the job.
April 9-10 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it’s time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won’t work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it’s best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.
April 13 Full Moon in Libra in your solar eighth house. This Full Moon is supported by both Neptune and Pluto, offering us creative revelations and solutions to issues illuminated by the Full Moon. This Full Moon is all about give and take. What makes you feel comfortable and secure needs to be balanced with attention to other people’s needs and comfort levels. It’s a good time to settle some of your debts, financial or otherwise.
April 16-17 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you’re noticed for what you’ve done or haven’t done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don’t be afraid to show others exactly what you’re made of. You’re at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.
April 16-18 Venus conjuncts Uranus in Pisces, the Sun trines Pluto, and Mercury squares Mars. This is a high-energy, potentially productive period if we can avoid being too impulsive. There can be great excitement in love nowa feeling of re-birth, in fact. We could have the gumption to take a chance and speculate on a love that is intense and unpredictable, and we are more decisive than usual. For you, your power of attraction is strong, and surprises are in store. Recognition is forthcoming.
April 23-24 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It’s all about you now, so it’s time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.
April 23-25 The Sun and Venus form tense aspects with Saturn, and it’s best to avoid new financial undertakings, as they may prove to be “money pits” as time passes. There can be difficulties relating to others, and it’s hard to satisfy the ego. We feel blocked by circumstances or by others. It’s too easy to feel discouraged, but discouragement is a time waster.

March 2006: Pisces Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
March
Overview. Neptune, your ruler, continues to square Jupiter for the first four weeks of March, suggesting that you should probably avoid get-rich-quick-schemes! You can be generous without being discriminating, which can result in wastefulness, and you should be careful when investing or taking risks to make sure you have thoroughly analyzed the situation before committing yourself to it. Following your intuition is a great idea this month on other matters, howeveryou are extremely creative and you will find that listening to your dreaming mind helps you to solve problems that may have been nagging you. The month begins with the Sun conjunct Uranus in your sign, giving you an electric boost of confidence seasoned with a touch of rebelliousness. You get noticed this month without even trying, and you could also find that you have a lot of energy to pour into domestic activities–perhaps reorganizing or getting involved in family activities. You feel more outgoing and interested in the impression you are making on others. The first week of the month is very active with Mars square your Sun, but just when you think things are really moving forward, life slows down a little. Mercury is retrograde from the 2nd to the 25th in your sign. Others might misunderstand what you have to say, and misread your body language as well. It will be important to avoid signing any contracts or making important partnership or family/home decisions. Don’t worry too much if others aren’t quite “getting” you for the time being. Things will change once Mercury turns direct, so you might decide to try to keep status quo during the retrograde cycle.

Look for income opportunities in the communications fields, and if a sibling or neighbor has a financial idea, listen closely, especially around the 9th.
Highlights:
January 29 New Moon in Aquarius in your solar twelfth house. This is a period of review, letting go, and recharging your spiritual and, in effect, physical “batteries”. Focus for the next few weeks is on fulfillment through service, empathy, and awareness of other’s needs; but it can also be a time of withdrawal and some sort of retreat in a social sense, depending on your personal and natural predisposition. Some kind of soul-searching is in order, and the urge to find some level of emotional peace of mind will be apparent. This is a more sensitive position of the New Moon, and it is best to find some sort of peace for the soul in preparation for the New Moon in the first house at the end of the montha period that is more active and busy than this one.
January 31-February 1 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It’s all about you now, so it’s time to put your best face forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted.

February 12 Full Moon in Leo in your solar sixth house. If you aren’t finally achieving something from your diet or exercise regimen, ask yourself why not. This is the time you should be really getting things together and it should be starting to pay off. However, avoid excess and going over the top right now, as you may feel you can do more — and maybe eat more — than you really should. At work, you may feel a little overbooked as tasks multiply and time is short to complete them. Once you’ve put on the finishing touches, you’ll be able to stand back and take pride in your accomplishments. A good time for an office party, if you can concoct a good excuse for one. In general right now, celebrate finished tasks.
February 13-14 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it’s time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor.

Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.
February 14 An extremely creative day when ideas seem to come out of the blue, and we are strategic enough to apply them.
February 17 From approximately 1:30 PM EST and through the night, a love opportunity. The Moon is in relationship-oriented Libra, and we are at our charming best.

This is the time when you’re noticed for what you’ve done or haven’t done.

January 2006: Pisces Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
January
Overview. Friendships and group associations are highlighted this month. What it is that makes you happy, and how to go about finding true happiness, are things that are on your mind right now. With Venus retrograde in the eleventh sector as well, however, you may have some issues with friends keeping their emotional distance or arguing with each other. If your friends are having problems with you, it’s likely about misunderstandings regarding what you are saying–or not saying. Be as understanding as you can. Problems in these areas will lift after February 3rd. Your ruler, Neptune, is parallel Jupiter and Venus most of the month, suggesting some real opportunities to socialize and mend fences. Mid-month, you may feel quite emotional regarding your love life, and you may jump into something on the spur of the moment. This year, Uranus is in your sign, and you are learning about your own individuality and sense of independence. Financially speaking, things are certainly getting better for you, as Mars (the ruler of your financial sector) continues to pick up speed after its retrograde cycle in the last quarter of 2005. Income opportunities may be found in communications of all kinds, including writing. Before jumping into any major financial agreement or purchase, do your homework. Wait until after February 3rd.

With the New Moon here, focus is on making contacts and reaching out to others in both a social and professional sense. It’s a time to turn inner restlessness into fruitful contact with others.

Passion and intensity, on any topic you choose, can run rampant and enthusiasm overflows. If you’re trying to get business done, you’ll be swimming against the tide, so if you have the option, just go with the flow.

Pisces (Born March 2 to March 11) and Pisces Ascendant 10 to 20 degrees Pisces:
December 2006: Pisces Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
December
Overview. All month, the Sun illuminates your solar tenth house–the most visible sector in your chart. It’s a time when matters regarding your reputation, career, and public standing come to the fore–the time of year when you are most wrapped up in “taking care of business”, duties and responsibilities, and professional concerns. More than any other time of the year, your focus is drawn to your “place” in the outer world, your reputation, and your standing in society. This is the time when you are more interested in, and focused on, accomplishing something important. Your competency is something that you are especially sensitive to during this cycle, which began in November. You want to shine. Recognition is likely to come your way whether you ask for it or not, and the responsibility that comes with it. Do what you feel is right, keeping in mind that you are at your most visible during this period in the year.
You are especially accountable for your actions this month. Everyone seems to be looking over your shoulder, observing what you do and what you are capable of. This is one of the busiest times of the year professionally, when you are in high demand. Support from behind the scenes or from an unlikely source is likely to come to you. A family member demands your attention around the 4th. Take advantage of the 10th, when you are recognized for the work you have done, and the 19th, when a partner opportunity arises.
In the first half of the month, enthusiastic energy as well as a brand new, exciting perspective is brought to your life experiences. This can come by way of a new learning or teaching opportunity, a trip, an invitation, or contact with someone who expands your life view. Inspiration can also come through a conversation, reading a book, or other such means. However it arrives, inspiration is felt strongly now.
A renewed sense of purposefulness derived from a more expansive, broader outlook on life is with you now. This newfound vigor can mean a very hectic but energizing schedule, an inspiring and revealing conversation, or a new opportunity for expanding your horizons through travel or higher learning.
This month, three inner planets (the Sun, Mercury, and Venus) align with Pluto and also form a harmonious trine to Saturn. With Saturn in your solar sixth and Pluto in your solar tenth, this can be a highly productive period. Your sometimes Herculean efforts, paying close attention to performance and to details, will not go unrewarded! Some of your most natural talents–the things that come easy–also meet with reward and acceptance. Sometimes in life, those with their nose to the grindstone can be overlooked. Not so for you now and into 2007. The details and the “little things” make all the difference. Perfecting your particular craft is natural now. Some of you may find that your career is moving towards a more service-oriented direction. This link is a long-term trend that occurs again next August and is in effect until then. Determination, perseverance, and a deep sense of purposefulness are brought to your professional life–you are able to establish long-term, meaningful professional ties. The dates in December when you could see initial benefits, or at least hints of things to come, occur on the 6-8, 16-18, and 24-25.
Your ruler, Neptune, forms some very pleasing aspects this month, and on the days that it does, you are likely to feel supported, appreciated, inspired, and gently challenged. These periods are the 1st, 9-10, 19, and 30-31. The 1st brings easy acceptance, particularly on a professional level, but it also extends to personal pursuits. The 9-10 finds you recognized for your competency, authority, or sense of responsibility. It’s feel-good energy. Good news or a rewarding conversation could come your way on the 19th. It’s also an opportune time to present your ideas. The 30-31 is a strong period for all personal initiatives, as well as for finances. Many positive connections between your tenth house and twelfth house suggests that work done behind the scenes may be revealed or incorporated into your career or public life. Past efforts pay off now. Red flag periods–when you are not received as well as you would like, or are prone to impulsive, hasty, or ill-timed behavior, occur on the 12-13 and 29. Avoid scheduling important events on these days, if you can.
This is an excellent period for personal finances, and for taking responsibility for what you own and earn. The most opportune periods of the month for finances include the 9-12 and 27-31. Speculation and new financial initiatives are best avoided on the 20-22. Financial challenges are possible now.
As far as romantic and creative matters go, opportunities to enhance or attract romance occur on the 6, 16, and 25. These periods represent power days for personal magnetism, charisma, and creativity. Issues that could be annoying or disconcerting concerning romantic matters are more likely to occur on the 11, 19, and 27. These would be less than ideal days to go on a first date, for example. For more serious partnerships, very positive energy is with you in December. Long-term relationships tend to thrive on the 9-10, 12, and 25. Tensions in close partnerships are more likely on the 4, 15, 22, and 29.
Better times to schedule job interviews or health appointments, and for success and happiness on the job, occur on the 9-10 and 16-18. Red flag periods for these matters occur on the 2-3, 12-14, 24, and 31, when you should probably avoid scheduling health appointments or job interviews if feasible. Matters related to your career and reputation are exceptionally strong this month, and are most favorable on the 9-12 and 26-27.
While Venus is in your tenth house (until the 19th), you are most charming and well-received on the job. Your responsibility and authority are likeable qualities now, making this a favorable period overall for schmoozing with those in a higher position than you, as well as for negotiations or social activities related to business. Venus is charming, friendly, and affectionate, and her presence in your career and reputation sector brings social opportunities to your career. You are coming across well at work now, and romantic opportunities, or simply more chances to socialize and network, are likely. The areas of life where you are most likely to express your social, romantic, and artistic qualities are through social and professional life. You are socially ambitious right now, and success may come though your good managerial qualities or some form of artistic talent, or, indirectly through your marriage partner. People who turn your head during this cycle are those who have social status, or who come across as especially competent.
Venus is in your friendship sector from the 19th. The areas of life where you are most likely to express your social, romantic, and artistic qualities during this period are through forming harmonious, warm social friendships – probably related to group activities within a club. You may meet someone through such group activities; consequently, your interests will be shared. Whether or not you do, the bottom line is that sharing interests with someone is what makes you happy during this cycle. Venus here enlivens your friendships and group associations with charm and grace. You are more peace-loving than usual and slightly detached on a personal level. If a romance were to occur during this time frame, it would be characterized by a strong feeling of camaraderie, but it could also be rather impersonal and perhaps lacking in depth and intimacy.
Mercury transits your adventure sector until the 14th. This is a good time to plan or perhaps take a journey. Travel and exposure to new ideas and ways of thinking about the world interest you now. You may meet and learn from someone from another culture or with significantly different beliefs and experiences than your own. Philosophical discussions or studies are also on the agenda. Your inclination during this cycle is to think about the “big picture” rather than the mundane circumstances and details of your life.
Mercury is in your career and reputation from the 14th, bringing rational and logical energy to your public life. You tend to think about your position or standing on a professional level more frequently during this cycle. You are likely doing some multi-tasking regarding career and business matters, as your career requires more communication than usual. You speak with authority during this cycle, and you are more accountable than usual for what (and how) you communicate. Your ideas may come into public view now. Use the power of words to influence authority figures. You might draw upon your executive ability now. It’s an excellent period in which to analyze career strategies, moves, and prospects. Negative use of this influence would be to worry unnecessarily about your reputation and responsibilities.
Mars activates your ninth house until the 20th. It’s a fabulous time for promoting your ideas and beliefs, although coming on too strong could work against you, particularly around the 20th itself. If you can’t travel, you’ll feel like doing so, or at least travel in your mind, simply because you have a great urge to expand your horizons in some manner. Energies thrown toward recreation, travel, or just cooking up great new ideas are well spent and serve to refresh and renew your vitality. Creative projects can flourish with your added confidence and enthusiasm now. You are bent on doing something different or “bigger” than you normally would. If you can’t find an outlet for this energy, you could feel quite restless.
Mars energizes your career sector from the 20th, bringing dynamic energy to all career, professional, and public matters. This transit stimulates your ambition and/or your desire to be recognized for your accomplishments. Whether it’s professional or personal, you are likely to have an increased desire for others to notice you. This can be a good time to become self-employed or start a business if other factors (and Mars itself) are favorable. Conflicts with those in authority are possible now. You may pour more energy into self-promotion or business/career activities. You could easily discover that your talents or services are especially in demand now. Courage, ambition, energy, enterprise, force, emotional involvement, business acumen, and a strong perhaps even compulsive drive for success can lead to professional recognition. You always like to see practical results for your efforts and take pride in doing a job correctly, and this is a good cycle in which to show your leadership skills. Don’t, however, allow your enterprising nature to be interpreted as aggressiveness or insensitivity.
Hectic, yes, but December’s challenges are also invigorating. While you don’t always feel comfortable in the limelight, your success this month depends very much on your willingness to put yourself “out there”. Overall, the best period of the month for you is the 19-27, when your charm is especially well-received.
Highlights:
November 30-December 1 Monthly money and income peak. You’re looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don’t have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up nowthe discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.
December 2-3 Hard aspects operative now include Sun-Uranus, Venus-Chiron, and Mercury-Saturn. Negative thinking and expectations, as well as a generally rebellious mood, are not conducive to easy relating. Avoid pushing matters just now, particularly with a close partner or co-worker. Speculative pursuits should be saved for a better date.
December 4 Full Moon in Gemini in your solar fourth house. Some sort of fulfillment, culmination, or revelation regarding your desires or new initiatives at the last New Moon on November 20th occurs now. The last two weeks have found you working hard towards your career goals and other public matters. The demands of your personal life are now paramount. Striking a balance between energy spent on work and energy spent on domestic matters is essential now. Balanced attention to your public and personal lives is what you need to focus on. It’s time to prioritize. Otherwise, you run the risk of over-extending yourself. A home, family, or property matter could grab your complete attention at this time.
December 6-8 Venus joins with Pluto and trines Saturn. Passions are strong and intense, but controlled. A new sense of responsibility in our social relationships is with us, and it’s of a pleasant variety–we feel renewed, committed, and dedicated. Solid proof of commitment gives us a deep feeling of purposefulness and meaning. An opportunity to stabilize and strengthen a social or romantic bond arises now. In your case, this configuration occurs in your career, work, and health sectors, making this a strong opportunity period for professional and productivity matters. Relationships are imbued with a deep sense of trust, maturity, and respect now, particularly those with authority or co-workers. Sincerity and depth are most important to you just now in your relationships, particularly professional ones. New responsibilities concerning your commitments to your ambitions and to your job or health and fitness may arrive now, but they give you a strong sense of meaning and purposefulness. This is an outstanding period for committing to a nutrition, fitness, or other health regime. This is also a strong opportunity period for shared finances (loans, taxes, or any money that doesn’t come directly from personal efforts) as well as communications of all kinds.
December 7-8 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.
December 9-12 Mercury, Mars, and Jupiter align, and the Sun sextiles Neptune. Tremendous enthusiasm, newfound vigor, and optimism characterize this period. We are inspired, hungry for new experiences, and eager to share our ideas with others. Enthusiastic energy as well as a brand new, exciting perspective is brought to your life experiences. This can come by way of a new learning or teaching opportunity, a trip, an invitation, or contact with someone who expands your life view. Inspiration can also come through a conversation, reading a book, or other such means. However it arrives, inspiration is felt strongly now. A renewed sense of purposefulness derived from a more expansive, broader outlook on life is with you now. This newfound vigor can mean a very hectic but energizing schedule, an inspiring and revealing conversation, or a new opportunity for expanding your horizons through travel or higher learning.
December 11-12 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it’s time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won’t work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it’s best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.
December 15-18 The Sun joins with Pluto and trines Saturn; Mercury squares Uranus; Venus sesquiquadrates Saturn. The best way to use this energy to your advantage would be to focus on your commitment to your long-term goals. Hold off on major decision-making, saving it for a more auspicious time. Working on projects already in progress with an eye to your future is best now; research is especially rewarding. Ideally, you should be focusing on career and reputation objectives. Wait until after the New Moon on the 20th, however, to begin new initiatives, particularly those that involve home and family, communications, and joint finances. Focus on research for the time being. Avoid financial initiatives if possible. While you may be able to solidify a work matter now, family and partnership matters may be unpredictable at best, and you could also be taken off guard by new responsibilities with joint finances.
December 19-20 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you’re noticed for what you’ve done or haven’t done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don’t be afraid to show others exactly what you’re made of. You’re at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.
December 19-20 Venus sextiles Uranus and Mercury sextiles Neptune. Pay special attention to your intuition now. We happily embrace all that is new, unusual, and out-of-the-ordinary during this period. For you, this is a strong period for joint finances, or any money that comes from sources other than your personal income, communications, family and home matters, and partnerships. Strong and pleasant communications from or about a friend is likely. This is an excellent period for attracting or strengthening a partnership.
December 20 New Moon in late Sagittarius in your solar tenth house affects you until the next New Moon. This New Moon carries with it the potential for tremendous growth and transformation. This cycle represents an opportunity to find ways to transcend the mundane details of day-to-day life and nurture our faith, commitment, hope, and vision. Heightened sensitivity to your standing in society and your goals for constructive progress are highlighted this month. It’s a good time to develop new business plans and goals, assuming the New Moon is not very afflicted, and a sense of renewal and reinvigoration with regards to your career goals is a potential. It is a time to focus on the elements of your personality that you are projecting to society and as a professional. Goals for self-mastery and self-discipline should be made at this time. This is a phase when you will be busy with career and/or public responsibilities.
December 21-22 Mars squares Uranus. It’s challenging to focus on any one particular task. Rebelliousness and impatience with rules and restrictions could get the best of us. For you, there could be some tension regarding the demands of career getting in the way of your personal initiatives. Unpredictable financial matters could leave you feeling insecure or frustrated. Avoid stirring up more trouble than necessary now–many people aren’t in the most cooperative of moods.
December 24-25 Mercury joins with Pluto and trines Saturn. This is a time when we may share ideas, feelings, or thoughts that we normally keep hidden. Research brings rewards, new insights into old problems invites progress, and the uncovering of previously hidden information is inspiring. Thoughts, ideas, and communications are more intense and focused. We are more able, and motivated, to find hidden meanings and to cut to the chase. Efficiency and relevancy become important. This is an especially strong period for you in terms of gaining insight into your career and reputation. An eye-opening conversation or discovery may figure now. Very strong opportunities for family, home, and partnerships or negotiations arise now.
December 26-27 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It’s all about you now, so it’s time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.
December 28-29 Monthly money and income peak. You’re looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don’t have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up nowthe discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.
December 28-29 Hard aspects operative now include Venus-Jupiter and Mercury-Neptune. Jupiter sextiles Chiron. This is a dreamy period when pie-in-the-sky thinking tends to dominate. Excess is a strong inclination, with little thought about the consequences! While you may enjoy some wonderful professional connections, you could be inclined to feel misunderstood on a personal level. Enjoy yourself, but avoid going over the top.

Pisces (Born March 2 to March 11) and Pisces Ascendant 10 to 20 degrees Pisces:
November 2006: Pisces Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
November
Overview. All month, the Sun illuminates your adventure sector. Your focus turns outward, away from the more personal concerns that have occupied your thoughts in the last months. More than any other time during the year, you are feeling most adventurous and willing to take a leap of faith. This is a cycle in which you seek a higher meaning to your life, and/or seek out new experiences that take you beyond the here and now, and beyond the mundane details of day-to-day life. Anything that broadens your experiences attracts now. A lack of superficiality finds you straight to the point, interested in the truth of things. It would be wise for you to consider scheduling a vacation, adventure of sorts, or a course that expands your mind. These don’t have to happen now, but taking the time to recognize your needs for escaping the daily grind, taking a few risks, and feeding your spirit for self-expression through some form of adventure or higher learning, will help you to feel good about yourself. The only caution with this cycle is that you could lose touch with everyday affairs and important details.
All things foreign or undiscovered not only appeal this month, but could bring new opportunities. Youre likely to make some important connections if you venture forth onto unfamiliar ground. An educational, advertising, or other communications project bears fruit around the 5th. Dealing with private matters could be sticky this month, however, and require special care and sensitivity.
There is a rare preponderance of planets (the Sun, Mercury, Venus, Mars, and Jupiter) in the sign of Scorpio in the first approximately three weeks of November, placing strong emphasis on your adventure sector. This allows you to focus on one area of your life, but it can also incline you to obsess on the same! In your case, higher education, advanced learning, travel, adventure, and broadening your horizons capture much of your attention. Some of these planets (the Sun, Venus, and Jupiter) enter Sagittarius in the last week of the month, and a shift occurs towards emphasis on career and reputation matters. From the 19-23, some key astrological events give us a shot of adrenaline–Uranus turns direct, the New Moon occurs late in the sign of Scorpio, the Sun and Jupiter align, also late in the sign of Scorpio, and Jupiter enters Sagittarius.
Uranus direct on the 19th gives us all a blast of electric energy. Moving forward in your first house, and as the ruler of your twelfth, this suggests new energy is brought to your sense of personal initiative, your attitude towards your appearance, your overall manner, and spiritual and private matters. Stagnation in these areas begins to lift. A new insight about a pet project or the manner in which you come across to others could figure. Alternatively, an unexpected change in your personal plans or a re-surfacing of a matter from your past that requires attention could be part of the picture in the weeks surrounding the 19th. Uranus always acts to disrupt the status quo, often bringing surprising or erratic events.
Jupiter entering fiery Sagittarius this month doesn’t yet place Jupiter in your solar tenth house, but this shift is imminent. Jupiter changes sign approximately once a year, so this ingress is significant and represents a new shift of energy that will stay with us until December 2007. From January 2007 until February 2008, Jupiter will officially be transiting your solar tenth house, a very fortunate place for this expansive planet. This can be a time of achievement, career advancement, and success in business. Public recognition and work- related travel are possible. Good things come into your life and change your worldly status for the better. There could be a promotion, new job opportunities, an honor, an award, a marriage, a birth, or a school diploma. Life-enhancing events occur that improve your public image and put you in the limelight in a pleasing way. People of influence and authority tend to easily help you out. Benefits may come from governmental agencies. Something may happen to expand your career or professional interests. Opportunities for new learning may be present. Long-standing difficulties may be removed from your life at this time. These positive circumstances won’t necessarily fall into your lap, and are unlikely to come all at once. You need to keep your eyes open for opportunities in these areas of life.
Mercury remains retrograde in Scorpio until November 17th. Mercury retrograde cycles are periods when communications and transportation matters don’t go as smoothly as usual. All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of communications with or about partnerships, as well as communications with or about family and home, because Mercury rules these areas of your life. Occurring in your solar ninth house this cycle, you may find yourself misrepresented after expressing an opinion or with regard to promotional activities. Travel plans could go awry. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with partners and family members, as well as through promotional or public relations activities, during this cycle; or, better yet, take this time to rethink issues before talking about them prematurely. In the weeks following the 17th, these matters begin to move forward. Mercury leaves its storm on the 22nd, when “all things Mercury” tend to resume near-normal pace, and leaves its shadow on December 4th. From the 22nd to December 4th, we have a chance to revisit matters that may have stumped or annoyed us while Mercury was retrograde.
Your ruler, Neptune, forms some rather challenging aspects this month, suggesting snags in your plans, some obstacles, and challenges that keep you on your toes. From the 6-9, you could be feeling rather unsupported, left out, unappreciated, or misunderstood–perhaps even all of the above! This period represents a temporary roadblock. Lay low and don’t push. The 16-18 is another red flag period when feelings of being blocked could frustrate you. Avoid impulsive actions, especially with your finances. The 30th-December 1st is a power period for love matters, communications, and finances.
Opportunities to increase or secure your earning power and cash flow occur on the 7-9, 15th, 21st, and 30-December 1st. Red flag periods for finances, when it’s better not to plunge forward on new financial initiatives, and when some minor financial strains are more likely to occur, are on the 16-18 and 27-29.
Romantic and creative matters tend to take the back seat for the time being, although an important conversation or revelation can occur around the time of the Full Moon on the 5th. Opportunities to enhance or attract romance occur on the 6th, 14-16, 22nd, 26th, and 30th-December 1st. These periods represent power days for personal magnetism, charisma, and creativity. Watch for some problems with a close partner, particularly about issues from the past, around the 7-8.
Better times to schedule job interviews or health appointments, and for success and happiness on the job, occur on the 20-22 and 27-28. Red flag periods for these matters occur on the 8-9 and 16-17, when you should avoid scheduling health appointments or job interviews if feasible. Your mind is unlikely to be on detail work and mundane affairs this month, which could be distracting on the job.
Venus plays in your solar ninth house from the 1-25. You are all the more attractive and charming with this position, which increases your popularity. Public relations work, promotion, and other such endeavors are favored now. It is more about how you express yourself than the specifics of what you are saying that helps sway others to your position. There could be especial rapport with foreigners and with women if you are traveling during this period. If a romance were to begin now, it is more likely to be with someone of a different background or educational level, or someone you meet through travel. You have a taste for the exotic now that can show up in many areas of your life–who you are attracted to, what you buy, the kind of art or entertainment you enjoy, and so forth.
Venus warms your solar tenth house from the 25th. Venus is charming, friendly, and affectionate, and her presence in your career and reputation sector brings social opportunities and charm to your career. You are coming across well at work now, and romantic opportunities, or simply more chances to socialize and network, are likely. The areas of life where you are most likely to express your social, romantic, and artistic qualities are through social and professional life. You are socially ambitious right now, and success may come though your good managerial qualities or some form of artistic talent, or, indirectly through your marriage partner. People who turn your head during this cycle are those who have social status, or who come across as especially competent.
Mercury, the planet of communication, continues to activate your solar ninth house all month. Cross-cultural exchanges, a visit or significant communication from someone far away, and/or a long journey broaden your thinking. Your thoughts are lifted above the usual daily concerns and immediate business into thoughts and visions about future, larger goals, and the purpose and meaning of your activities. You are putting everything into a larger context. Discussions and/or reading on issues of faith and of the spirit could be part of this. The only caution here is that Mercury is retrograde and then its storm until the 22nd, when communications can be challenging or awkward and decision-making foggy.
Mars brings dynamic energy to your solar ninth house from the 9th. During this period, you are especially enthusiastic and more bold than usual. Some restlessness and hunger for adventure is experienced now. Essentially, you are looking to expand your activities, and you may find that you have a lot of energy for higher studies, travel, or simply new subjects. Negative potentials include being excessively opinionated or getting easily fired up over differences in points of view, or legal fights.
As planets begin to pile up in your solar ninth house, routine affairs simply don’t seem to satisfy. You receive pleasure from anything that expands your horizons, both physically and mentally. Foreign people and places may particularly appeal now. You tend to be expansive and generous. With so many planets in Scorpio, a very compatible sign to yours, in the first three weeks of November, you are bound to feel quite supported by circumstances.
Highlights:
November 1-2 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It’s all about you now, so it’s time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.
November 1-3 Venus and the Sun trine Uranus, and Mercury retrograde squares Saturn. Although we are likely to revisit tense discussions and topics that occurred on October 22-23, this is a strong period for new ways of approaching old problems. For you, love and appreciation–even applause–comes your way. This is a mostly easy-going energy for you, as long as you don’t listen to the nay-sayers and overly critical folk.
November 3-4 Monthly money and income peak. You’re looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don’t have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up nowthe discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.
November 5 Full Moon in Taurus in your solar third house. This Full Moon is emotionally passionate and potentially creative, but disillusionments may be part of the picture. Some sort of fulfillment, culmination, or revelation regarding your heart’s desire at the last New Moon on October 22nd occurs now. The last two weeks have found you somewhat restless and in need of more from life than the mundane. Now the mundane is catching up with you. Errands need to be run, people are talking your ear off, you need to do some paperwork and answer calls. An important document could arrive, or a sudden need to run an important errand or to take a short trip could be part of the picture. You are pushed to find a balance now. Do what needs to be done so that you can free yourself up for more adventurous and fulfilling activities.
November 6-9 With the Sun, Mercury, and Venus square Neptune during this period, we need to be wary of anything that looks too good to be true. Disappointments, disillusionments, foggy thinking, and wishful thinking are all strong possibilities now, and can affect our relationships, finances, communications, and more. This is a red flag period for all. For you, confusing circumstances surrounding a close partnership, work, health, and family could concern you for the time being. Judgment now can be clouded by wishful or impractical thinking, so it’s best to hold off on making important decisions. Your ruler in tense aspect with the Sun, Mercury, and Venus can indicate a period in which you feel unappreciated, misunderstood, and perhaps even slighted.
November 9-10 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.
November 14-15 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it’s time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won’t work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it’s best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.
November 15-16 Venus conjuncts Jupiter, and we have a taste for “the finer things” in life. Generosity, tolerance, and sociability come naturally, and so does over-indulgence in life’s pleasures. This is a strong period of attraction for you. Rewards through your career, recognition, a travel or education opportunity, or an income boost may come your way now.
November 17-18 The Sun squares Saturn and Mars squares Neptune. Mercury is stationary direct. Caution is in order – this is a red flag period for all. We are not seeing things clearly, and new initiatives should be avoided until after the New Moon on the 20th. You are inclined towards impulsive actions and should watch for hasty, ill-prepared actions or decisions. Disappointing news, frustrations on the job, or the resurfacing of a nagging problem may be part of the picture.
November 20 New Moon in late Scorpio in your solar ninth house affects you until the next New Moon. This New Moon aligns with good luck Jupiter, but also squares Saturn. This cycle represents an opportunity to rid ourselves of the “junk” in our lives–material and spiritual. The ninth house rules our spirit to grow, explore, and expand beyond the “regular” experiences in our lives. The New Moon here may bring some restlessness and dissatisfaction with regular routines. Make an effort to initiate new projects or activities that expand your mind, feed your spirit for adventure, and stretch your imagination. You may feel renewed by a new perspective on your life, something philosophical or spiritual that you read or learn, or an adventure that takes you away from the mundane routines in your life.
November 20-23 The Sun conjuncts Jupiter, Venus sextiles Chiron, Mercury trines Uranus, and Uranus turns direct. Power days for all. Electric energy, faithfulness, bright ideas, optimism, the desire to break out and experience more from life. This is a time to break free from limiting circumstances and to start something new. For you, you feel especially re-energized, confident, and on top of your game. A travel opportunity, or a chance to expand your mind, may be part of the picture now.
November 22-23 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you’re noticed for what you’ve done or haven’t done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don’t be afraid to show others exactly what you’re made of. You’re at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.
November 26-28 Venus squares Uranus, Mars squares Saturn. Watch for impulsive attractions. We may have to face the consequences of past behavior now. Forcing matters only brings resistance and frustrations. Avoid new financial initiatives for the time being, no matter how good they look. Challenges on the job may be present now.
November 28-29 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It’s all about you now, so it’s time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.
November 30-December 1 Monthly money and income peak. You’re looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don’t have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up nowthe discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.

Pisces (Born March 2 to March 11) and Pisces Ascendant 10 to 20 degrees Pisces:
October 2006: Pisces Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
October
Overview. All month, the Sun puts a spotlight on your solar eighth house. With the considerable energy of the Sun in your solar eighth house, much of your energy will be applied to deeply personal and transformative matters. The use of power is highlighted in some way during this cycle. Willpower, strategy, and financial ability are accentuated now. Something may be lost, so that something else is gained. This can be a time for getting down to business and of stripping away and discarding nonessentials. You can separate the wheat from the chaff, concentrating on important things. The Sun is energizing and spotlighting all that comes under the reign of the eighth house: transformation, change, sexuality, personal growth, regeneration, others’ money and resources, addictions, and taxes. As a result, this is not the most gregarious of months for you. You take a step back, focus on intimacy with a partner, or simply retreat a little from the hectic pace of life. This is an excellent time to create a budget or financial plan, or to rid yourself of bad habits that undermine your sense of personal power and self-mastery. Personal transformations, personal power, and intimate matters fulfill you most during this cycle. There may be a strong focus on other’s money, such as the resources of a partner, through inheritance, banking and loans, or taxes. You are inclined to be more intense and perhaps even secretive at this time of year. Emotions tend to run deep right now, and you don’t much like losing or feeling powerless. This can be a determined and personally powerful time of year if you apply the energy of this transit constructively.
Time spent getting in touch with your deepest needs and desires, and perhaps ridding yourself of bad habits, is time very well spent this month. Intimate and deeply personal matters capture your attention. Its a strong period for research of any kind, intimately connecting with loved ones, and self-improvement programs. By November, the rest of the world seems to play in your style. A taste for the exotic and wild imaginings grab hold. Opportunities to break out of your normal routine abound and excite. For now, concentrating on personal transformations and intimacy/power issues is in focus.
Your ruler, Neptune, forms some very pleasing aspects this month. This translates to some real opportunities for you to advance. Neptune trines Mars, the Sun, and then Venus–on the 3-5, 9-10, and 13-14. Increased initiative, recognition for your talents, and attracting others feature during these opportunity periods. There could also be a financial boost that figures in all of this. Rewards for past good deeds could easily come now, and could surprise you. Work and health matters could improve as well. However, it looks more like a financial opportunity than anything. An important communication can come your way from the 6-8, again most likely regarding money. Two challenging periods for your ruler in October include the 1-2, when overindulgence could be a symptom of a feeling of a lack of appreciation from others, and the 15-16, when you could be misunderstood or you could get news that bothers you.
Jupiter in your ninth house squares Saturn in your sixth house from the 18-31. We’re forced to do things by the book during this phase, but may not want to. This is not the time to take shortcuts–they won’t work. When we think in big terms, or if we have the urge to expand, we confront obstacles or face reality. Some re-structuring of our lives and of our business goals is now in order. We may be looking for new challenges, sometimes because we are forced to do so (because things are not going exactly as we had planned). We have a desire to grow and expand, but our attitude is tempered with some caution and feelings of restriction. There is no “easy fix” just now. It is best to breathe new life into old plans rather than to strike out with a new plan altogether. Take steps to grow, but don’t overextend yourself at this time or you are bound to face frustrations. You are best off eliminating something in order to improve the overall quality of your life. This aspect can play out in a number of different ways in your life, affecting issues surrounding work, health, daily routines, pets, services, and employees or co-workers (where demands or restrictions are present or required) on the one hand, and travel, adventure, philosophy, and higher education (where the urge to expand and enjoy is great) on the other. For example, while you are itching to get out and about in order to escape the monotony of routine, you could feel especially limited by work or health matters that keep you put.
Mercury turns retrograde in Scorpio on the 28th. This Mercury retrograde cycle lasts until November 17th. Mercury retrograde cycles are periods when communications and transportation matters don’t go as smoothly as usual. All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of communications with or about partnerships, as well as communications with or about family and home, because Mercury rules these areas of your life. Occurring in your solar ninth house this cycle, you may find yourself misrepresented after expressing an opinion or with regard to promotional activities. Travel plans could go awry. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with partners and family members, as well as through promotional or public relations activities, during this cycle; or, better yet, take this time to rethink issues before talking about them prematurely.
This is a very strong month for finances. Finances look to be mostly about other people’s money, such as that of a partner, via a loan, inheritance, and so forth. From the 20-26, your financial ruler forms powerful alignments with the Sun and Venus, offering nice opportunities, most likely, again, connected with loans, support, or a partner doing especially well. This period is actually loosely in effect from the 11-28. Another excellent period for money in October occurs on the 3-5–a truly fabulous time for financial opportunities and endeavors. Another stronger period of the month for finances is the 14-16. Watch for unexpected fluctuations on the 17-18, and avoid major financial initiatives, if you can, on the 29-30.
Intimate matters take top billing this month. With many planets concentrated in your intimacy sector, this is a month when intense discussions or deep changes are likely to occur in any ongoing romantic relationship. Partnerships are connected with the ninth house this month, which could involve foreign people, things, or concepts. Note that your partnership ruler, Mercury, slows down and retrogrades in the last week of the month–a period that is carried forward as well into November. A close partner could be hard to reach or rethinking things during that period. Alternatively, there could be some rehashing of the past or communication problems. The best way to handle this is to give each other the benefit of the doubt and perhaps a little space. The best period of the month for partnerships occurs on the 10-11. Challenges could arise on the 8-9, likely due to suspiciousness or doubts, and the 15-16, when disappointments or disillusionments are possible. The past may be rehashed, and this could be frustrating. The 21-25 is a “one step forward, two steps back” period, when you could stand to gain in a partnership, but may need to “lose” something in order to do so.
The best period in October for scheduling job interviews or health appointments, and for positive developments in these areas, is the 9-10. The 15-18 is another very strong period. You are likely showing more dedication and shouldering more responsibility willingly. As well, the 20-26 is likely to be a very active period of the month for these matters. New developments, increased creativity, as well as recognition could come your way during this period. Less favorable days for these matters include the 4-5, 19th, and 27-28. As far as career and professional matters are concerned, you might face some stumbling blocks around the time of the Jupiter-Saturn square on the 22-27.
Venus transits your intimacy sector from the 8th. You attract others like bees to honey now, and you favor a partner who is intelligent, with a somewhat mysterious flair about them. A financial boost is likely, or you may gain financially through your partner. Your social circle may include people who are interested in mysteries or those who are engaged in some form of psychological work. A deep personal connection and intimate exchange can be healing, replenishing, and soothing to your soul. This is a good time to work on resolving grievances, differences in values, or money problems in a close relationship. There are also apt to be favorable developments regarding shared assets, jointly owned property, borrowing money, or repaying loans to the satisfaction of all concerned. You are likely to get both the financial backing and the emotional support you need to succeed. On a more personal level, intimate relationships are intensified. Either you or your partner want a deeper union.
Mercury transits your adventure sector from the 9th. Cross-cultural exchanges, a visit or significant communication from someone far away, and/or a long journey broaden your thinking. Your thoughts are lifted above the usual daily concerns and immediate business into thoughts and visions about future, larger goals, and the purpose and meaning of your activities. You are putting everything into a larger context. Discussions and/or reading on issues of faith and of the spirit could be part of this.
Mars transits your intimacy sector all month, and your personal, intimate life speeds up. You experience every situation intensely and deeply during this cycle, even though your outward actions do not necessarily reveal this fact. You could find yourself attracted to mysterious or even dangerous situations. Sometimes this transit correlates with disputes over money. This is a time when your best course of action is to recognize that you need, or rely on, others for support. Circumstances in life are likely to occur that require you to take the lead or to apply personal action in connection with joint finances.
In the first three weeks of the month, the preponderance of planets in Libra makes the period somewhat awkward or private for you, simply because Libra is not a particularly compatible sign with yours. The last week of the month, the planets shift to early Scorpio–most certainly a compatible sign. However, it will only be in November when many of these planets reach your own Sun (or Ascendant).
Highlights:
October 3-5 Mars trines Neptune and Venus trines Chiron. This combination is spiritual, heartwarming, and compassionate. It’s an excellent period for enhancing and healing relationships, as well as for expressing compassion and understanding. We act on our intuition now and our creative impulses are potent. We are less tense and driven, and more relaxed. “What will be, will be” is the attitude. Inspiration can be found. The arts and anything that requires relying on intuition and imagination are favored. This is a power period for you, particularly when it comes to personal finances.
October 5-6 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It’s all about you now, so it’s time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.
October 6-7 Full Moon in Aries in your solar second house. This Full Moon is emotionally passionate, self-centered, aggressive, and potentially creative. Some sort of fulfillment, culmination, or revelation regarding your heart’s desire at the last New Moon on September 22nd occurs now. Intimacy, issues of power and control, or joint finances may have been a focus for the last two weeks. Now it’s time to recognize what makes you comfortable. This Full Moon is about balancing the give and take of intimacy–the giving and receiving of pleasure. Sharing issues come into focus, as do issues of power–what’s yours and what’s mine. Your comfort zones matter, and now is the time to take care of your own needs without eclipsing the needs of others.
October 7-8 Monthly money and income peak. You’re looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don’t have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up nowthe discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.
October 9-11 The Sun trines Neptune, Mercury trines Uranus, and Mars sextiles Saturn. This combination of influences can produce epiphanies and dreamy ideals that may actually bear weight in the real world. We’re at the right place at the right time, probably because our hunches are more likely to be correct and we are “tuned in”. This is a most opportune time for self-improvement programs or efforts. This is an opportune time to attend meetings and other organized group activities, to communicate online, and to take part in activities involving computers, scientific projects, and metaphysics. Unexpected gains may be realized through such mediums. The intuition is strong, and insights seem to come from “out of the blue”. Original, creative ideas are easy to come by. Work takes on definite shape, and we can see results from our efforts. This gives us a sense of responsibility and a feeling of directedness and purposefulness. Your ruler in harmony with the Sun suggests vitality, leadership skills, and authority. Others recognize these qualities in you now. Work matters run especially smoothly, and a hidden source of income may come to light now. A long-distance communication could bring good news that furthers your personal interests.
October 13-14 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.
October 13-16 Venus trines Neptune, Mars sextiles Pluto, the Sun sextiles Saturn, and Mercury squares Neptune. This creative combination inspires imagination that can effectively be put into action. Although it’s not the best time to sign on the dotted line, we can make significant headway on in-progress projects. This can be a dreamy time on a romantic level as well. With your ruler in harmonious contact to Venus and challenging aspect to Neptune, this could be a one step forward, two steps back period for you. While misunderstandings are likely, romantic and intimate matters soar. Although it’s best to wait a bit for major new initiatives, financial matters could skyrocket now, and you could receive returns from projects already underway. Overall, it’s a rewarding period, particularly when it comes to feeling supported and appreciated.
October 17-20 Venus sextiles Saturn and Pluto, and the Sun sextiles Pluto. Yet another creative combination occurs now, and opportunities abound. This is a time when love matters and social relationships can be solidified; and when solid progress with finances can occur. It’s also a time when research brings rewards. We benefit now from strategy and keeping things to ourselves for the time being. Opportunities to find or renew something we had lost, and to gain some power are available now. It’s about watching and waiting–observing and collecting information before we make our move. For you, finances figure strongly. This is a time when employing financial strategy comes easily and works for the best. Gains may be realized, and you happily take on more responsibility on the job. It’s also an excellent period for working on a project that involves a lot of analysis, detail work, and perhaps tedious effort.
October 18-19 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it’s time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won’t work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it’s best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.
October 22 New Moon in late Libra in your solar eighth house affects you until the next New Moon. This New Moon is very creative and relationship-oriented. In your eighth house of intimacy, sexuality and intimate relationships come to the fore now and in the month ahead. This is a time of empowerment. It is a good time to focus on issues of intimacy as well as developing self-mastery skills. You may experience increased awareness of otherswhat makes them tickas well as your own internal motivations during this period. It is a time when intimacy and deep levels of sharing are heightened. It is also a favorable time to start a financial plan, savings plan, take out a loan or consolidate, and do work in accounting.
October 22-26 The Sun conjuncts Venus and Mars; Mercury conjuncts Jupiter and squares Saturn. This is a vital, dynamic time when we thrive on progress and activity, as well as lively, creative, and sexual energy. Our creativity and desire to make something beautiful is stimulated now. Social relations are impassioned, and perhaps demanding or extreme. We may also feel compelled to do something creative or artistic. In some cases this impulsive energy generates “love at first sight” scenarios or erotic interludes. Team work is more successful now. Some level of competition is present in our interactions, but it’s likely of a pleasurable and gently challenging kind. In terms of mental pursuits, we may have to make a choice in which both alternatives are desirable, but we must choose one at the expense of the other. For you, this is an active and creative period for financial, work, and intimate matters. You may reach new heights of intimacy in a partnership, for example. There may be some challenges encountered in this period, however, with regards to communications. The Jupiter-Saturn square, discussed above in the Overview, is highlighted now.
October 25-26 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you’re noticed for what you’ve done or haven’t done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don’t be afraid to show others exactly what you’re made of. You’re at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.
October 27-29 Mercury is stationary retrograde now, and will remain retrograde until November 17th–a cycle when rethinking matters is the name of the game. When Mercury is stationary, as it is now, it’s especially important to prepare for possible breakdowns in communication. Back up your computer, double-check your paperwork, and remember that you may not have all the necessary information to make big decisions for the time being. Avoid signing contracts or deals, as they may not work out as you expected, or they might need revision later. As well, both the Sun and Venus square Chiron, making it a less than ideal time to ask for favors and to make important purchases. For you, some doubts about your job or health could be a concern now. This is a red flag period for all–it’s best to avoid major changes now.

September 2006: Pisces Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
September
Overview. All month, the Sun illuminates your partnership sector. At this time of year, you have a greater need than usual to be with a partner. Bouncing ideas off someone helps you to better understand yourself. A partner provides a mirror for your own self-discovery. Now is the time to realize your own potential through a significant other. During this cycle, you focus on balancing your personal interests and objectives with your social life, or with those of a partner. The emphasis is on “us” rather than “me”. You need the energies, companionship, and support of other people, and they may also seek out your support and companionship. It’s important to include others rather than to go solo for the time being. However, bending too much to the will of another is not advised either. Social interactions of a personal, one-on-one kind are emphasized. Circumstances are such that your diplomacy skills are required. Your popularity is increasing, and is reinforced by your own ability to cooperate and harmonize. Your ego and pride are tied up in how you relate to others now. This may be an especially busy time for people who consult or work with clients one-on-one.
You experience a sudden and surprising urge for increased freedom and self-expression around the 7th, when a Lunar Eclipse occurs in your sign. You may make an emotional declaration that could even surprise you! Plans that are close to your heart reach fruition, and you are more excited and emotional than usual. The 15th brings an exciting financial offer.
Pluto turns direct this month after an approximately 6-month retrograde period. Slowly but surely, issues surrounding travel, higher education, career, and reputation improve.
Two eclipses occur this month. One is a Lunar Eclipse on the 7th in the middle degree of Pisces. Its conjunction to Uranus brings a surprising turn of events. The other is a Solar Eclipse on the 22nd in the last degree of Virgo. The effects of eclipses stay with us for as long as six months, and they reveal main areas of focus for this half-year period. A general rule of thumb regarding eclipses is to avoid major decision-making in the week before an eclipse. This is because new information that could change our perspective often is revealed in the week after the eclipse. Therefore, major decision-making is best avoided in the first week of September as well as from the 15th to 22nd.
The Lunar Eclipse on the 7th stimulates your solar first house and is directly on your Sun (or Ascendant). Surprises surrounding your personal plans and your personal presence may be in store. Something that has been “in hiding” or brewing under the surface of things comes to light, or there is a significant fruition or culmination. Your sector of personal appearance, initiative, and “me first” energy is involved. This could manifest, for example, as a sudden assertion of independence (even a temper tantrum), a situation that tests your leadership skills, a culmination or fruition of an important partnership, and other such possibilities. Finding a balance between autonomy and dependence is what this Lunar Eclipse is about for you.
The Solar Eclipse on the 22nd marks a new beginning for you. Flaws in an important system in your life are revealed and it’s time to start fresh. This eclipse occurs in your solar seventh house, suggesting a new approach to dealing with others is in order. A new set-up in existing partnerships or a new relationship altogether may be formed in the coming months, as well as a sense of renewal and reinvigoration with regards to your one-to-one relationship skills. This is a phase when you have an increased awareness of the need for someone significant to lean on or to rely on. You may also begin a consulting position or you could enjoy an increase in clients if you already work with people one-on-one.
Your ruler, Neptune, forms quite a few challenging aspects this month. Awkward inconjuncts to Mercury, the Sun, and Venus occur on the 5th, 9-10, and 19-20, marking the need for adjustments. You could find yourself at the mercy of others or other people’s schedules, likely due to your own guilt. Many of these struggles are likely to do with partnering issues. On the 5th, you could find yourself at odds with a partner, and attention to family and home is likely the subject. The same type of conflict can also occur on the 14th. On the 9-10, your own pride could be an issue. Feeling undermined, undervalued, or downright neglected is possible, and this theme could repeat itself on the 24-25. On the 19-20, the subject of shared resources could get you into a tizzy. The 20-29 is likely to be a period of emotional ups and downs. However, on the 23rd, you may be the recipient of good news and you could enhance your existing partnerships and relations with family members.
Jupiter squares Neptune, your ruler, from the 20-29, affecting your ninth and twelfth houses. We may be misled easily under this influence–by others, or by our own unrealistic expectations. An inability to focus on important and realistic details, some disorganization, and extravagance or exaggeration, is likely now. You may be challenged to defend your ideals. Giving too much of your time and/or resources to others may be an issue now, and could leave you feeling discouraged if others are not appreciating your efforts. This may play out with co-workers, a boss, a business associate, in-laws or with the services you render others. Be careful that you are not deceived. There could be a bit of back-stabbing going on, or something that is hidden is revealed and that gets you down. As well, avoid financial speculation during this period.
Personal finances will revolve around others’ resources for you this month. Less favorable days for financial initiatives include the 5-8, 13-16, and 25-27.
Partnership matters are in big focus this month. An opportunity to enhance or attract a serious partnership occurs on the 1-3, 23, 25, and 27-28, when your negotiating skills are better than usual.
Better times to schedule job interviews or health appointments, and for success and happiness on the job, occur on the 1st and 6-7. A face-off with a co-worker or working partner could occur on the 4-5. Less favorable days for these matters include the 4-5, 9-10, 16-17, 24-25, and 28-29. Career matters are picking up this month, although there can be some confusion around the 20-29 when you could question whether it’s the right career for you, and some tension is possible around the 12th and 24-26–these are unfavorable periods for asking for a raise, throwing an office party, or going on job interviews! However, two very strong periods for recognition and potential advancement occur on the 3rd, 6-7, and 18-19.
Venus journeys through your solar sixth house until the 14th. A harmonious atmosphere is required if you are to be productive in your place or line of work during this cycle. You could find that your talents or specialized skills are in popular demand now. Co-workers may provide an outlet for social enjoyment and relaxation. Your friendly, genial attitude on the job (or at the gym!) will draw attention and possibly even loving feelings. You are more inclined to want to be involved in cooperative work than usual. Contacts with or through the affairs of women may have an affect on your job. Romantic and social activities may revolve around your working environment. Some laziness is possible now, as you tend to associate pleasure with work. Perhaps you are socializing more than usual on the job. You have good team spirit during this cycle, and you are more tactful and obliging with your co-workers. You are less inclined to fall in love for the sake of love itself during this cycle. Your tendency is to consider whether it is clever to do so! You are most successful doing tasks that involve cooperation and team harmony, or the personal, human side of things.
Venus moves through your solar seventh house from the 14th. You may enjoy many social functions during this cycle. People are attracted to your gracious, friendly, and obliging manner, which tends to draw daily contacts with others. Special attention to and from a partner is in focus, and flattery will get you everywhere if you use it wisely. Set aside some private time when no one else can get in the way of the feelings you want to share. Give to a partner exactly what you would like to receive just now. It’s not about you right now–it’s about someone else close, and the sweeter your attentions, the more delicious your rewards will be! Smoothing out your close personal relationships is what makes you happy during this cycle. You have a greater need than usual for contact and exchange with an intimate partner. If single, you are more willing than normal to enter into a committed relationships. In general, you are adaptable when it comes to your affections.
Chatty Mercury is in your partnership sector from the 1-18. You may be called upon to act as a mediator during this cycle as others recognize your strong sense of justice and fair play. You will not pass judgment on others too quickly, as you tend to weigh the pros and cons of each issue. At times you may experience difficulty reaching decisions when it comes to personal affairs. It is not lack of ability that holds you back, but rather the importance of making the right decision. There is a strong desire to cooperate and communicate with others now. When discussions and exchange of ideas and thoughts are not forthcoming, it can greatly disturb your sense of balance. You are attracted to people who you feel are interested in life and who are good conversationalists. You feel comfortable relating with those you have a past history with. Your own thoughts become clearer through dialogue. You carefully weigh the pros and cons, and are more willing than usual to listen to other people’s point of view. You may be doing public relations work, counseling, or arbitration during this cycle. There is a lot of emphasis on communications with partners and best friends at this time. You can use the power of words to give counsel to other people, or to smooth over differences. You know how to use the art of diplomacy and you can appreciate opposing viewpoints even if you don’t necessarily agree with them during this period.
Mercury moves through your eighth house from the 18th. Your mental and communicative abilities will largely be applied to the growth and development of the mind. Much of your knowledge may be gained through intuitive means rather than the study of books at this time. There is an aptitude for business and other financial dealings. Your mental disposition is ideally suited to work of an investigative nature, research, psychotherapy, psychiatry, or detective work. Focus the light of understanding and honest communication on emotionally-charged topics such as sexuality and intimacy, feelings about the power dynamics in your partnerships, and money you share with significant others. You can have a more objective and fair view of such things now, and could clarify any long-standing issues related to any of this. On a practical level, it is the time to handle joint finances, material assets or property you hold in common with another, and matters pertaining to inheritances, taxes, or commercial interests.
Mars continues to heat up your partnership sector until the 23rd. Partnerships may suffer from ego conflicts, or adversaries may be challenging. Use this energy to work cooperatively on relationship problems. You may even find that you seem to need someone’s help in order to do what you want to do during this cycle. Relationships are vivacious and dynamic during this period. When a difference arises, you are quick to settle it, and have little patience for sweeping matters under the rug. Your close personal relationships are lively during this cycle–full of conflicts and resolutions or reconciliations. Energetic and dynamic types of individuals could enter your life during this cycle. For some women, new relationships with men occur during this transit.
Mars energizes your solar eighth house from the 23rd, pointing to a time when you can show great willpower, strategy, and talent. Circumstances in life are likely to conspire to bring out the leader in you in connection with joint finances or intimate matters. The manner in which certain monetary affairs are handled or spent can be a source of friction from time to time between you and your spouse, business partner, or others connected with joint financial issues. Sexuality and intimacy are stimulated under this transit. Negative expression of this energy is the tendency towards ego conflicts concerning jointly held property or money. Conflicts with partners over values or possessions are possible. Occasionally, this transit could bring a crisis or ending of some kind. Something you hear about now might disturb or touch you deeply. You are likely to be more strategic in your actions during this period, as you become aware of the subtleties of human interaction. This is a time when your best course of action is to recognize that you need, or rely on, others for support.
The ball isn’t in your court this month, but it will come back to you soon enough. This is a time when you need to recognize and support other people in your life more than usual, and your success at balancing your needs for personal gratification with the needs of other people in your life will determine the success of the months ahead of you. You can make great strides towards improving your relations with others this month.
Highlights:
August 31-September 1 Venus trines Pluto and the Sun conjuncts Mercury. A conversation or communication with a partner (or potential partner) today could open the doors to a new opportunity. Use diplomacy and tact, and truly listen to what others are saying now. This is an excellent day for boosting your position on the job.
September 1-2 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you’re noticed for what you’ve done or haven’t done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don’t be afraid to show others exactly what you’re made of. You’re at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.
September 3-7 The Sun and Mercury activate the Jupiter-Uranus trine. Both oppose Uranus and sextile Jupiter. Opportunities are present, but not without a struggle. Face-offs can occur now, as well as brazen assertions of independence. Sudden events and surprising news are in store. This can be a time of great insight or revelations–a time when you see the light and are jolted out of your usual (or automatic) mode of thinking and living. New perceptions come intuitively now.
September 7 Full Moon in Pisces in your solar first house. This is a potent Full Moon–a Lunar Eclipse–that can affect us for months after it occurs. “Hey, what about me?” is the feeling of a Full Moon in the first house. You’re looking for a bit of attention right now as you feel that life has been too “other-oriented” recently. Try to avoid infantile outbursts. Instead, work on your self-assertiveness. You do count, and there are ways to assert your own needs without stepping on others’ toes. Finding a balance between autonomy and dependence is what this Full Moon is about for you. Your emotions are on your sleeve right now. It is a good time to put your needs first, but doing so with respect for others will take you further. Whether you can succeed as a leader is “tested” right now.
September 7-8 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It’s all about you now, so it’s time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.
September 9-10 Monthly money and income peak. You’re looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don’t have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up nowthe discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.
September 9-12 Mercury squares Pluto, and the Sun and Mars form tense aspects with Neptune. Watch for sarcastic speech and suspiciousness, especially with or from a close partner or family member, as it can backfire. Also watch for confusion or self-deception. Feeling misunderstood and challenged is possible now. Do your best not to stress yourself out. Your pride could be hurt on the job. A flurry of activity with finances–perhaps even a minor financial crisis–could bother you now. It’s challenging to see clearly at this time, so do your best to avoid signing on the dotted line.
September 15-17 Mercury-Mars conjunction is semi-square Saturn, the Sun squares Pluto, and Venus opposes Uranus. This is very potent, and potentially disruptive, energy! Although energy is brought to our communications, especially regarding personal relationships, we must be conscious of the tendency to be overly critical, sarcastic, or forceful with what we say and how we say it. We are likely to come to a very clear, definite decision at this time and to let others know exactly what we want, and we have no qualms about stirring up controversy in defense of our ideas or plans! Our comments may be particularly loaded, and discussions could easily escalate into arguments. Sudden or impulsive attractions to people and to material items that later prove to be unappealing occur now. This is not a good time to start a new relationship nor for any significant financial undertaking. We may not see eye to eye with our loved ones, and we might be taken off guard by unexpected events. It’s wise to hold off on decision-making with regards to finances and relationships. However, if we can separate rebellion from a sincere need for change, we might open ourselves up to new ways of dealing with others. We might find ourselves particularly impatient with rules. You may experience a powerful and possibly frustrating conversation or communication with a partner–watch for harsh words. Power plays may be experienced now, and likely involve close partnerships. A partner may be finding you unreliable or could be put off by your display of independence.
September 16-17 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.
September 18-19 Venus sextiles Jupiter. We are big-hearted and our feelings are expansive under this influence. This is a sociable, perhaps lazy and self-indulgent, time. We easily find meaning in our social connections. We are more open and trusting of friends and lovers. Integrity and loyalty are favored. This is a favorable influence for winning people’s trust, healthy speculation, advertising, publishing, finances, and travel. For you, this is a strong period for close partnerships including marriage, shared resources and finances, asking for support from others, and presenting your ideas. This is also a good time for good will and charm on the job.
September 21-22 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it’s time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won’t work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it’s best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.
September 22 New Moon (Solar Eclipse) in late Virgo in your solar seventh house affects you until the next New Moon. This New Moon is especially potent because it is a Solar Eclipse. Its energy is with you for the next six months. Negotiations and diplomacy are highlighted during this period, as it is a favorable time to begin new relationships or to re-define existing ones. Issues of sharing and partnership come to the fore. Increased awareness of the need for someone significant to lean on or to rely on is often associated with this position. Working on, or resolving to work on, relationships that are mutually supportive is a good idea at this time. If you find yourself sensitive to the feeling of lacking support from partners, this may be a good time to ask yourself how companionable you are, and work on developing yourself in this area of life. You might just find that this is a period when you are at your most gracious. It is also a good time to make contacts and to make something public.
September 23 Mercury trine Neptune. Imagination and intuition run high, and are involved in decisions made today. We are in the right place at the right time. We are inspired and able to inspire others with our words. This influence favors photography, the arts, poetry, fiction, spirituality, advertising, and promotion. For you, this is an excellent period for all forms of communication. Your intuition is serving you especially well, and others are finding you most eloquent. It’s a good time to present your ideas. This is also a strong period for enhancing or attracting a close partnership, for family and domestic matters, and for joint finances.
September 24-26 Venus squares Pluto, Jupiter squares Neptune (discussed in the Overview, above) and Mercury sextiles Saturn. Intense emotions and clashes over personal values are in store now. However, it’s a good time to get organized and to do some solid work that will have benefits down the road. Although this is not a time for lucky breaks, work matters should run well, and you have a good chance of strengthening relationships with a close partner or family member.
September 27-29 Mercury sextiles Pluto and sesquiquadrates Uranus; the Sun semi-squares Saturn and trines Chiron. Conflicts and blockages encountered now can lead to improved circumstances, healing, and a renewed sense of purpose. A truth may come to light now, or something from the past retrieved or found. Conversations are deeper and more sincere. Constructive strategies formulated now have long-term benefits. However, listen to your intuition in addition to your sense of reason.
September 28-29 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you’re noticed for what you’ve done or haven’t done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don’t be afraid to show others exactly what you’re made of. You’re at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.

Pisces (Born March 2 to March 11) and Pisces Ascendant 10 to 20 degrees Pisces:
August 2006: Pisces Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
August
Overview. All month, the Sun shines its light on your work and health sector. You take more pride in the work you do and in your health routines than any other time of the year. You are sorting through the experiences of the last several months, separating the worthwhile from the worthless. This is a good time to build your skills, to get organized, and to attend to your health and wellbeing. Its a great time to make improvements to your regular routines. Your self-esteem and your ego are tied up in the work you do and in the services you give. You may be drawn into some form of service that will bring deep personal satisfaction. At this time, you seek perfection and distinction in your work and this quality bring you a more responsible position. This cycle presents an opportunity to get rid of what doesn’t work in your life, while also discovering what does. More than any time of the year, you are conscious of your mental and physical health, daily routines, everyday working life, and your working methods. If your regular routine doesn’t provide you satisfaction now, you need to look at where you can make improvements without obsessing over, or getting bogged down with, details.
Mercury picks up speed after a period of retrogradation in July. Problems involving romance, speculation, entertainment, children, partnership, and family or home issues are resolved for the most part early this month, particularly after the 4th. You can become more confident about decision-making with regards to love affairs, children, property and home issues, family affairs, and partnerships or contracts.
Work and health are the major arenas of your life that are in focus now. This month, youre challenged to separate fact from fiction, particularly with regards to a co-worker or job situation. Feeling blocked by others feels real but is actually temporary. If youve been on the fence about pursuing a love interest, the last week of August is a good time to do so. You may be inspired to create better health habits, or to begin a new diet or fitness regimen.
August is a heavy, active month for your ruler, Neptune. Neptune opposes heavyweight Saturn, and forms three oppositions this month: to the Sun, Mercury, and then Venus. In many areas of your life, you are now dealing with culminations. On the 6-7 (as well as at the time of the Full Moon on the 9th), work conditions or issues come to a head. Perhaps you’re completing one job or project and moving on, or a job situation that has been building for some time reaches a head and something has to be done about it. Alternatively, this could play out with your health. A new discovery about your health, or a realization that you have to take attention to your health in your hands, can come now. You could also cement an important job, join a gym, or get news from the doctor. Pressures that have been building surface now and need to be dealt with. Around the 20th, similar events surface surrounding close partnerships. You may have been feeling some pressure from a partner or family member, and now is the time when you have to confront it and begin to deal with it. You may also receive important information today. Intimate and personal matters are brought up on the 26-27. Creative projects or romantic affairs need your attention.
Take charge of your health on the 6-7, and focus on new health regimes. As well, do what you can to improve your working conditions this month, or the cosmos will force you to do it. Pressures on the job are getting to you this month, and it’s time to formulate a plan for dealing with the responsibilities, but also for taking time to tend to your spiritual growth and needs for relaxation and peace of mind. Treat whatever issues that pop up for you in August as a heads-up rather than a setback.
Now for the best part: your co-ruler, Jupiter, trines electric Uranus in the last week of the month. You may find opportunities to enhance your happiness and luck through some sort of travel or movement. Your intuition is good, and your foresight is clearer than usual. You benefit from breadth of vision and a forward-looking disposition now.
Tricky days for finances occur on the 1-6, 12-14, 19-21, 23-25, and 28-30. Avoid speculation or new financial initiatives on these days. Partners may be especially involved with your own financial picture this month. The 12-14 is a red-flag period for you in terms of finances as well as partnerships. Opposition to your plans is likely, and some kind of disruption is probable. Expect the unexpected. The 28-30 could involve some minor loss or problem monetizing a project. You may discover that you don’t have enough money for a vacation, or that you spent far more than you had hoped on one. An excellent period for your personal finances occur on the 7-9, when you could see gains, particularly from your business or career, and even an in-law or grandparent. The 31st is also a good day for finances, and on the 24th, a partner could gain money.
Watch for an important heads-up around the 9th with regards to love affairs. Some tensions and adjustments are necessary in the first week of the month. A new beginning around the 23rd breathes some fresh air into your partnerships. The 24th and 31st are excellent days for you to attract a committed relationship, or to enhance an existing one.
Excellent days for scheduling job interviews, joining a gym, or for scheduling health appointments and medical visits occur on the 16-17 and the 31st. On the 9th, you need to face a few realities about your job or your state of health. It could be a tricky time, but ultimately liberating. Perhaps you realize that your job is less than ideal, for example, but the realization that you need to do it right comes at the same time. Excellent career prospects and opportunities for advancement and recognition occur on the 7-8 and in the last week of the month.
This month, Saturn opposes Neptune across your sixth and twelfth house axis. This tricky opposition is activated by the Full Moon on the 9th, by Mercury on the 20-21, and by Venus on the 26-27. You experience a clash between reality and your ideals and dreams, particularly with regards to your work, daily routines, and both your spiritual and physical health. You may become very demanding and critical of others, particularly those you deal with on a daily basis, those you serve, and those who serve you—or, more likely, they are demanding of you. Painful memories may surface that need to be dealt with, and fears and insecurities may not be based on realistic expectations. Since you set your goals for success far out of reach these days, you are likely to “fail” (at least in your eyes) during this time. It is difficult for you to separate fact from fiction, and you may feel that you are going through a “reality shift.” Fears and anxieties may be overwhelming at times, but remember that things are certainly not as bad as they seem. There can be a feeling of being drained by the demands (or even the lack of demands) of others, or frustrated because your work demands something concrete and secure, and you are not clear in terms of what you want. This feeling of being drained is experienced by all, but for you, your work, service, and health are the likely arenas where this influence will play out. This can also be an important month for your friendships and your sense of style and self-expression, also coming under the rule of Saturn and Neptune. Burdens, responsibilities, separations, or the need to mature quickly are things you are dealing with now in these life departments. The best way to handle this is to develop a workable plan for tending to your needs for job security as well as support from friends or from your community. Maturation is in order, and if you can think in terms of “building” slowly but surely, you will feel more grounded and realistic.
Jupiter trines Uranus in the last week of August. This transit is known for being lucky, and always brings something unexpected, and it’s especially good for you, as Uranus is on your Sun. You could have new opportunities presented to you, seemingly from out of nowhere, such as a chance to travel or for higher learning, a business or job opportunity, a sudden windfall, money from the blue, or a chance meeting with someone who opens your mind or contributes to your success. A chance to get away from it all may be part of the picture. Whatever it is, it will require immediate action on your part and it will probably be a wild departure from your norm. You may come up with innovative ideas that can be put into practice at a later time. You may find luck, ease of working conditions, and general good fortune coming through your social, business, and professional life. Honors, favors from superiors, public appointments, esteem and eventual social and financial success are all possible now.
Romantic Venus warms your romance and pleasure sector until the 21st. During this cycle, the areas of life where you are most likely to express your social, romantic, and artistic qualities are through a genuine love of life, especially in romantic attachments, hobbies, personal pleasures, and social interests. Your infectious love of life and noble nature ensures social popularity, although, at times, you can be rather theatrical in order to hog the spotlight! You may be more inclined to show off your partner during this cycle. Appreciation of the arts is indicated. There is some predisposition to gambling or other forms of financial speculation now. You are feeling inspired creatively and romantically and you express your loving feelings quite openly now. Creative self-expression of any kind is favored at this time. You will also thoroughly enjoy artistic, musical, or cultural events and activities, especially in the company of a loved one. At this time, you instinctively know how to place yourself in the best light in order to make a good impression on others. Any love affair begun now will be characterized by good cheer, having fun, and a fair share of emotional drama!
Venus moves through your work and health sector from the 21st. With Venus in your sixth house, the areas of life where you are most likely to express your social, romantic, and artistic qualities are in establishing a happy and harmonious work environment through friendly relations with colleagues. Romantic and social activities may revolve around your working environment. You are generally well liked and respected socially on the job right now. This is a good time to promote harmony and good will on the job. Some laziness is possible now, as you tend to associate pleasure with work. Perhaps you are socializing more than usual on the job. You have good team spirit during this cycle, and you are more tactful and obliging with your co-workers. You are less inclined to fall in love for the sake of love itself during this cycle. Your tendency is to consider whether it is clever to do so! You’re most successful doing tasks that involve cooperation and team harmony, or the personal, human side of things.
Mercury enlivens your romance and pleasure sector (along with Venus) until the 17th. Your mental and communicative abilities will largely be applied to personal issues during this cycle. Although very intelligent, your mind will often dwell on pleasures, hobbies, lovemaking, and amusements; you especially enjoy games requiring mental competition now. You have a deep need for mental pleasure and intellectual stimulation. Therefore, your friends and romantic partner are best appreciated now if they are intellectual types. You’re more willing to take risks on a mental level now, so take advantage of the increased spontaneity and creativity that comes with this position.
Chatty Mercury is in your work and health sector from the 17th forward. Your mental and communicative abilities will largely be applied to acquiring specialized skills or knowledge for professional use, and much of your thinking is directed towards how you can organize your daily activities. Your work may demand an intellectual quality of mind, analytical ability, and attention to detail. There is a concern for personal health, hygiene, organization, and polite speech during this cycle. The pace of your work environment is quickened, with lots of ideas and new information coming in. You may learn a skill or piece of technical information that assists your work performance. This is a good time for getting rid of unwanted habits and replacing them with healthier ones. Do your best to balance work with rest. Also, try to avoid criticizing others unwittingly in your attempts to improve your environment or your working conditions.
Mars enters your partnership sector on the 7th. The drama of this position is strongest from the 7-23, when Mars opposes your Sun. You may instigate, aggravate, or stir up trouble either without realizing it (by being too loud, overstepping others’ boundaries, or making assumptions), or even on purpose. You could use this abundance of energy for accomplishment, if you so choose. Tone down aggressive tendencies as much as possible. Beyond the 23rd, Mars is still in your seventh but has left the dramatic opposition to your Sun. You are likely to exert your energy and initiative in active co-operation with others as associates or in partnerships of some kind. You can be aggressive and forceful in intimate relationships, or your partner may be displaying these traits. It is important to be restrained in all dealings with associates, business partners, and intimate partners. If you are too aggressive or dominant now, there is danger of trouble and loss through public opposition, unpopularity, damaged relationships, or even litigation in rare cases. This cycle tests your ability to resolve interpersonal conflicts. Remember that anger is often a mask for hurt feelings. There’s bound to be a lot of friction or push and pull as you strive to balance your style and agenda with another’s.
Highlights:
July 25 New Moon in Leo in your solar fifth house affects you until the next New Moon. Creative self-expression comes under the realm of the fifth house, and a New Moon occurring here sparks the creative juices. Romantic inclinations are also highlighted, as are any kind of celebratory, playful, and just-for-fun endeavors. You will be especially aware of your need for approval and feedback from others, deriving pleasure from the ways your own creativity impact the world around you. This can be a passionate time for you, and a time when you might feel more bold than usual. If you are feeling good about yourself, and especially if you have taken advantage of the time for re-building of confidence that the New Moon in the fourth house brought, you will fairly radiate during this expressive period.
July 26-27 Venus trines Jupiter. Under this influence, good humor, good will, strong morals, and a healthy sense of responsibility all contribute to a happy time. We are able to achieve growth through good feelings now. You may receive great news or praise, and increases may be seen from work.
July 27-29 Mercury is stationary direct. When Mercury is stationary, as it is now, it’s especially important to prepare for possible breakdowns in communication. Back up your computer, double-check your paperwork, and remember that you may not have all the necessary information to make big decisions for the time being. Avoid signing contracts or deals, as they may not work out as you expected, or might need revision later. As Mercury regains speed in the next week, improvements will be seen, but you may want to hold off on new deals until after August 4th.
July 28-29 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it’s time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won’t work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it’s best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.
July 30-31 Venus trines Uranus. Romantic surprises. Under this influence, we lose our fear of taking risks and we happily embrace all that is new, unusual, and out-of-the-ordinary with regards to romantic involvements as well as financial undertakings. We are ready to experiment, but not necessarily ready to commit. Creative inspiration can be had now. We have an offbeat, pleasant attitude and we are more willing to socialize. This is a good time for financial undertakings involving electronics, technology, the internet, metaphysics, and the arts, as well as for group activities.
August 1-2 Our egos may be a bit out of control with the Sun in tense aspect to Jupiter and Pluto. Expansion is possible if we can keep our egos in check! In your case, ego trips and conflicts on the job are very likely now. Resist the temptation to overstate your feelings or to jump to dramatic conclusions.
August 3-5 Awkward aspects involving Venus-Neptune, Mercury-Pluto, and Sun-Uranus suggest some adjustments are necessary. This is a time when we tend to second-guess, re-think, and temporarily lose our faith in people. This could be a challenging period for your close partnerships in particular, as well as family relations (disappointments are possible), and work or health matters. You may find yourself at odds with a sibling, neighbor, or partner. You could also temporarily question whether your partner values the same things as you do, or if you are getting satisfaction from your work. Remember that your frustrations could only be a projection of your own insecurities and doubts. Strive to be more objective.
August 4-5 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you’re noticed for what you’ve done or haven’t done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don’t be afraid to show others exactly what you’re made of. You’re at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.
August 6-9 The Sun aligns with Saturn in Leo, and Mars forms a harmonious aspect with Jupiter. We become aware of increased responsibilities in our careers, love affairs, or family life. Perhaps we recognize the dangers of stress and overwork. We have a chance to become more mature, goal-oriented, and responsible. This can be a good time to begin a cycle in which we build a business, especially a creative one, or re-commit to a long-term project. Decisive action comes naturally now. We possess willpower, verve, and energy that we can direct toward achieving our goals. We want to branch out and take on more challenges. Positive yet realistic attitudes create winning situations now. A spirit of friendly competition prevails, as well as the desire to take beneficial action. For you, circumstances are such that you become acutely aware of a maturation process with regards to how you handle your work, daily routines, health, and working relationships. You are required to come up with something solid now in terms of your level of commitment to your work or to your daily and health routines. You may be required to call upon your more responsible side in order to deal with a work matter. Issues surrounding your friendships or group associations may be part of the picture. Your personal income may get a boost. Your career may enjoy a healthy injection of adventure and verve.
August 9 Full Moon in Aquarius in your solar twelfth house. This Full Moon highlights a Saturn-Neptune opposition, bringing into our awareness a clash between our ideals and reality. Challenges in your spiritual life, work, and health matters may come to light, and you may be feeling drained by the demands of these areas of your life. Striking a balance is in order, but getting to that medium ground may be a bit of a struggle. Circumstances are such that you have an overwhelming need to be alone. You’ve been busy with all sorts of everyday activities, deeply involved in your work and routines. It’s time to balance your life with some down timeotherwise, you simply don’t feel whole. Issues come to light that originate from deep within. It’s an excellent time to get in touch with what’s been brewing beneath the surface.
August 9-13 Uranus is in hard aspect to Mercury, Venus, and Mars, while the Sun opposes Neptune. Infatuations are more likely now–with people, things, and ideas. The desire for something new and exotic–something that breaks the routine–is strong during this period. Unusual attractions (to people and things) can have us acting on a whim. We may deal with freedom versus closeness issues in our relationships. We have a tendency to take risks, to feel restless, and to act on sudden impulses without considering consequences. We assert our wills and individuality powerfully, and we are willing to fight for freedom. There may be changes in work schedules, or life’s circumstances could challenge us in such a way that we need to change our goals or actions. Some disappointments or disillusionments are also possible now. The demands made upon you at work could strain you and make you want to escape. You could also clash with a close partner now. Avoid confrontations with your partner, who could be having a hard time with your recent show of independence; and also take care that what you write or say doesn’t cause controversy or backlash.
August 11-12 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It’s all about you now, so it’s time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.
August 13-14 Monthly money and income peak. You’re looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don’t have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up nowthe discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.
August 16-17 The Sun trines Pluto, and we are able to get to the bottom of things. We are more decisive than usual, and our abilities to concentrate and focus help us achieve what we set out to do. This is a very positive aspect for starting a money-making endeavor or a new project. Research brings rewards. We benefit now from strategy and keeping things to ourselves for the time being. Opportunities to find or renew something we had lost, and to gain some power are available now. This energy urges you to express the “real you” with confidence, but also with discretion. You don’t need to put all of your cards on the table just now. Lessons from your past could boost your working relationships now and into the future. This is an excellent period for you to get recognition on the job, to discover something that enhances your health, and to schedule a job interview. Headway could be made in your career now.
August 19-20 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.
August 19-21 Mercury conjuncts Saturn, quincunxes Uranus, and opposes Neptune; Venus forms a tense aspect with Pluto. This is a time when you are inclined to sort out your thoughts and re-think your strategies. Do just that, and avoid speaking out prematurely. You are required to show your responsible side, even if you are feeling a bit disappointed, or even disillusioned, with your life just now. This is a time when you need to re-formulate life strategies. It’s probably wise not to believe everything you hear now, as some important information may be omitted. Some tensions on the job are possible now. In general, others seem to be misunderstanding you. You could be at war with a partner over a serious issue.
August 22-23 Venus squares Jupiter. Use caution with your finances and your heart. If something seems too good to be true, it may very well be at this time! Feelings of elation in love or with regards to the pleasures of life can lead us to overdo, overindulge, overspend, and overstate our feelings. We might take great strides to get noticed. Avoid hasty (or haughty!) decisions, and steer clear of impulsive buying. Take a letter, email, or other form of communication with a grain of salt.
August 23 New Moon in Virgo in your solar sixth house affects you until the next New Moon. The New Moon in the sixth house heralds a time when new diet regimes, healthy routines, and satisfying work schedules can be successfully initiated. It is a time of taking care of business, handling details, and increasing your efficiency by re-organizing or simply by working enthusiastically at tasks that help you get caught up in your work. It is also a good time for analysis of any sort, as critical thinking is now at its peak. This period is marked by a desire to sort things out, but also to be useful.
August 24 Mercury trines Pluto, and we stand to gain enormous insight into problems, projects, and people! Conversations today could help you solve nagging problems in your life and allow you to move forward. Good news about your job may be forthcoming today. This is an excellent day for strengthening a close partnership or family relationship.
August 24-25 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it’s time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won’t work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it’s best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.
August 26-27 Venus conjuncts Saturn and opposes Neptune. Relationships are tricky and perhaps disappointing for the time being. We might want a commitment while a significant other remains evasive and hard to pin down–or vice versa. This is a time when your work load could be heavy, and your job or employer demands something concrete from you. His or her problems or seriousness affect you strongly. Ambiguities concerning your own spiritual direction, however, may have you feeling anxious, but there’s no better time than now to formulate realistic plans for improving your commitments. You could be feeling underappreciated or even financially drained.
August 28-30 Mars squares Pluto and Jupiter trines Uranus. This is a time of fun surprises and interesting opportunities. For you, it’s reward time! You may have new opportunities presented to you, seemingly from out of nowhere, such as a career opportunity, financial boost, or a chance meeting with someone who contributes to your success. Whatever it is, it will require immediate action on your part and it will probably be a wild departure from your norm. You are bound to come up with innovative ideas that can be put into practice at a later time. However, a power struggle with a close partner or over a financial or business matter could have you squirming. Do your best to let things flow naturally or you’ll only serve to stress yourself out, when the truth is, this is an opportunity period for you.
August 31-September 1 Venus trines Pluto and the Sun conjuncts Mercury. A conversation or communication with a partner (or potential partner) today could open the doors to a new opportunity. Use diplomacy and tact, and truly listen to what others are saying now. This is an excellent day for boosting your position on the job.

Pisces (Born March 2 to March 11) and Pisces Ascendant 10 to 20 degrees Pisces:
July 2006: Pisces Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
July
Overview. All month, the Sun illuminates your pleasure and romance sector. More than any time of the year, this is the cycle in which you focus on having fun, enjoying romance, and expressing yourself creatively. Your hobbies, leisure time, moments spent with children, gaming time, and so forth, all come into focus at this time of year. This is a cycle in which you find joy in expressing who you are–when your “inner child” comes out to play. This is a time when you are more flirtatious than usual, and when you might take a few risks in life–not only gambling with games but with life itself. You might be a bit of a showman at this time. You are likely feeling good in general, and you tend to spread the joy.
The Mercury retrograde cycle from the 4-28 affects your fifth house of romance, speculation, entertainment, and children. Arguments with a lover may be blown out of proportion. Both you and your lover should avoid harping on the words used and try to get to the meaning behind the words instead. Speculation and gambling are not advised right now. It will be important to avoid signing any contracts or making important partnership or family/home decisions.
Jupiter goes direct on the 6th. For you, this suggests that matters pertaining to higher education, travel, career, and reputation are beginning to show signs of moving forward after a period of stagnation. The first signs of resolution for these issues will be with you this month. You are likely to project more confidence through a more competent, spontaneous, jovial, and spiritually centered demeanor.
Youre pouring a lot of energy into pleasure and love relationships this month. A partner may be re-considering things this month, which could have you on your toes. However, you have charm working on your side from the 1-12. You come across swimmingly from the 26-31, and love is in the air. Be cautious with your pocketbook on the 4th-6th.
Your ruler, Neptune, trines Venus on the 9-10–an excellent period for you when you may attract love (or money), and when you feel especially appreciated and valued. The 4-6 could be a challenging period for you when you encounter opposition, particularly on the job. You may be feeling blocked, restless, and impatient. The 21-22 is a brief period when you are feeling undervalued or unappreciated.
Some challenges with money can occur around the 4-6. However, excellent days for financial matters occur on the 13-16. Misunderstandings with a lover are possible this month, particularly around the 11th, but you can successfully use your charm and negotiation skills to smooth over differences. Close personal relationships, including marriage or other committed partnerships, benefit most on the 28-31, when the air is cleared and things seem to be moving forward. The biggest challenges to close personal relationships this month occur on the 9-12, when erratic behavior is a factor, and the 18-20, when manipulation or mind games may be part of the picture.
Venus journeys through your home and family sector from the 2-27. What you are most attracted to now are the depths of the soul, your roots, the home, and a feeling of security. You are more nurturing in your love relationships, and you take whatever steps that are necessary to create a peaceful and pleasant environment in your home and with family members. You could experience strong emotional romanticism at this time, and what touches you is what lies below the surface. You feel most loved when you are taken care of and when you feel included–like you belong. As well, if you are able to express your deepest feelings with a partner, you are at your most satisfied. You are seeking inner peace during this cycle, but you could be feeling rather needy or dependent now.
Venus moves to your romance and pleasure sector on the 27th. This is great news for you! You are feeling inspired creatively and romantically and you express your loving feelings quite openly now. Creative self-expression of any kind is favored at this time. You will also thoroughly enjoy artistic, musical, or cultural events and activities, especially in the company of a loved one. At this time, you instinctively know how to place yourself in the best light in order to make a good impression on others. Any love affair begun now will be characterized by good cheer, having fun, and a fair share of emotional drama!
Mars, the planet of action, moves through your solar sixth house all month, and you have more energy at your disposal for work and fitness or other health routines. You are bound to take a head-on, direct approach to organizing your life and with regards to your working methods. Impatience with daily routines is also possible, particularly around the 4-6. You may be inclined to compete with others on a professional level, or at least to want to dominate or work solo. You are not in the mood to take orders just now! This period doesn’t favor teamwork. Avoid the tendency to argue with co-workers by doing whatever you can to work independently. You work with energy, impatience, and speed during this cycle. It’s a good time to focus on a fitness routine.
The most rewarding period of the month is likely to be from the 1-12, when the transiting Sun trines your own Sun. You are feeling especially romantic, and you feel energetically supported by those around you.
Highlights:
June 25 New Moon in Cancer just behind your solar fifth house affects you until the next New Moon. Creative self-expression comes under the realm of the fifth house, and a New Moon occurring here sparks the creative juices. Romantic inclinations are also highlighted, as are any kind of celebratory, playful, and just-for-fun endeavors. You will be especially aware of your need for approval and feedback from others, deriving pleasure from the ways your own creativity impact the world around you. This can be a passionate time for you, and a time when you might feel more bold than usual. If you are feeling good about yourself, and especially if you have taken advantage of the time for re-building of confidence that the New Moon in the fourth house brought, you will fairly radiate during this expressive period.

If you are feeling good about yourself, and especially if you have taken advantage of the time for re-building of confidence that the New Moon in the fourth house brought, you will fairly radiate during this expressive period.
June 25-26 Your ruler, Neptune, forms a tense aspect with the Sun, and you may not be received well, or others could question your authority just now. This may be especially likely on the job.
June 26-27 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.
June 30-July 2 Venus trines Chiron and sextiles Saturn, and the Sun trines Jupiter. Romantic energy is strong, and good will reigns. This is a strong period for both relationships and finances. Healing energies are with us, and we tend to attract good things with our positive attitudes. For you, career matters, joint finances, investments, insurance and tax matters should go well.
July 3-5 Mercury is stationary retrograde now, and will remain retrograde until the 28th–a cycle when rethinking things is the name of the game. When Mercury is stationary, as it is now, it’s especially important to prepare for possible breakdowns in communication. Back up your computer, double-check your paperwork, and remember that you may not have all the necessary information to make big decisions for the time being. Avoid signing contracts or deals, as they may not work out as you expected, or might need revision later. July 4-5 With Mars opposite Neptune, the planet of illusion, we could find ourselves spinning our wheels. We want more from our actions than simple, everyday results–we’re seeking inspiration, bliss, release, anything that makes us feel like we’re not locked into the mundane world. Watch for passive-aggressive and manipulative behavior, simply because it can be a challenge to move forward and grab what we want if we take a direct, simple route. If something looks too good to be true now, it may very well be. A face-off with a co-worker is possible now. Disappointments with finances may also be part of the picture.
July 6-7 Freedom of movement and of thought are especially important to us right now. Venus squares Uranus and semi-squares Mercury, and the Sun trines Uranus. It’s a time when we can safely “expect the unexpected”, particularly when it comes to personal relationships. Watch for impulsive spending or fickle behavior in love. Flexibility is the key to success now.
July 8-9 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you’re noticed for what you’ve done or haven’t done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don’t be afraid to show others exactly what you’re made of. You’re at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.
July 9-10 Venus harmonizes with Neptune and Mercury and Uranus form a tense aspect. Romantic relationships have a touch of magic right now. We see the very best in people now, and this eases our interactions and takes the pressure off in personal relationships. This is a period of reading between the lines and thinking outside the box. Your powers of attraction are very high right now. Others see you in a most positive light.
July 11 Full Moon in Capricorn in your solar eleventh house. This Full Moon trines Uranus, adding insight, the ability to free ourselves from parts of our past that have been limiting us, and a feeling of truly moving ahead to issues illuminated by the Full Moon. You’ve been focusing on what brings you pleasureyour hobbies, romantic activities, and so forth. Now you realize that the role you play in others’ lives (as a spouse, parent, friend) is an important element in your overall happiness. You’re looking for validation from friends and group activities now, and there may be a big social event or group activity in the works.
July 13-16 Intense energy is with us now with Venus opposite Pluto and sextile Mars, Mars trine Pluto, and Jupiter and Saturn involved. Romantic, creative, and sexual intensity is what these influences are all about. There can be a confrontation or drama in personal relationships that leads to greater closeness and understanding–even ecstasy. Interactions are complex and dynamic now, and our relationships have more verve than usual. We are more inclined to go after what we want. Some feelings of being blocked are also possible, which could propel us to try harder. The most probable arena for these energies to take place in your life is with family, intimate partners, and professional associates.
July 14-15 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It’s all about you now, so it’s time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.
July 16-17 Monthly money and income peak. You’re looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don’t have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up nowthe discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.
July 21-22 Hard aspects between Venus and Neptune and the Sun and Uranus make for an awkward, erratic, and perhaps disappointing couple of days. We could feel that our relationships are missing important elements, or we may face reality after engaging in self-deception. Surprises or changes in plans can throw us off center. You could be feeling underappreciated, left out, or completely misunderstood. A co-worker may challenge you, or unusual/upsetting conditions on the job may be experienced. We should feel re-energized by the 23rd, however, when both the Sun and Mars enter new signs.
July 23-24 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.
July 25 New Moon in Leo in your solar fifth house affects you until the next New Moon. Creative self-expression comes under the realm of the fifth house, and a New Moon occurring here sparks the creative juices. Romantic inclinations are also highlighted, as are any kind of celebratory, playful, and just-for-fun endeavors. You will be especially aware of your need for approval and feedback from others, deriving pleasure from the ways your own creativity impact the world around you. This can be a passionate time for you, and a time when you might feel more bold than usual. If you are feeling good about yourself, and especially if you have taken advantage of the time for re-building of confidence that the New Moon in the fourth house brought, you will fairly radiate during this expressive period.
July 26-27 Venus trines Jupiter. Under this influence, good humor, good will, strong morals, and a healthy sense of responsibility all contribute to a happy time. We are able to achieve growth through good feelings now. You may receive great news or praise, and increases may be seen from work.
July 27-29 Mercury is stationary direct. When Mercury is stationary, as it is now, it’s especially important to prepare for possible breakdowns in communication. Back up your computer, double-check your paperwork, and remember that you may not have all the necessary information to make big decisions for the time being. Avoid signing contracts or deals, as they may not work out as you expected, or might need revision later. As Mercury regains speed in the next week, improvements will be seen, but you may want to hold off on new deals until after August 4th.
July 28-29 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it’s time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won’t work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it’s best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.
July 30-31 Venus trines Uranus. Romantic surprises. Under this influence, we lose our fear of taking risks and we happily embrace all that is new, unusual, and out-of-the-ordinary with regards to romantic involvements as well as financial undertakings. We are ready to experiment, but not necessarily ready to commit. Creative inspiration can be had now. We have an offbeat, pleasant attitude and we are more willing to socialize. This is a good time for financial undertakings involving electronics, technology, the internet, metaphysics, and the arts, as well as for group activities.

Pisces (Born March 2 to March 11) and Pisces Ascendant 10 to 20 degrees Pisces:
June 2006: Pisces Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
June
Overview. All month, the Sun puts the spotlight on your sector of home and family, and these areas are your instinctive focus during this period. Besides spending more time tending to domestic affairs, the focus can be on cultivating and nourishing your inner foundations that support your life. This is a time to collect yourself–to fill your well, so to speak. You take more pride in your family, your home, and your heritage during this cycle.
A long-term trend this year involves more interest in your spirituality. Your outlook on life is heavily influenced by what is going on subconsciously. Something about your personality reflects your desire to help other people and they can easily recognize this. You may experience a time of confusion and doubt about who you really are and you can be your own worst enemy at times. The most important person you may have to forgive is yourself! Uranus’ retrograde in Pisces brings these matters to light, and you might take some extra time to yourself for introspection and reflection. You may experience a period of turning inward, as you re-evaluate the way you come across to others–your image, mannerisms, and appearance–in order to determine whether you are expressing authenticity and sincerity in your approach to others. Another long-term trend involves the connection between your solar ninth and tenth houses. Your personal philosophies on life could receive public attention. There could be a movement in your career towards travel, law, publishing, teaching or sports. Your career could require long distance travel or even travel overseas, and you may be called upon to do more teaching on the job. These themes figure strongly in your life this month with the rulers of your ninth and tenth houses involved in a semi-square.
Your ruler, Neptune, receives a healthy trine from the Sun around the time of the New Moon, the 10-11. This is an excellent period for family and work matters, as well as for boosting self-confidence. Neptune squares Venus in your solar third house on the 14-15, when you could too easily be misunderstood.
With the ruler of your personal finances, Mars, moving into Leo this month, you could express more generosity and you could be more grand in the way you spend and give money. You could also be working harder than usual in order to make extra money from the 20th forward. Challenging days for finances occur on the 1-3, when impulsiveness with money could be costly, the 6-11, and the 18-21. You could see some returns on your investments and increased business income on the 16-17, and this could motivate you to work even harder.
This month, your work could involve the domestic scene or may be related to property and real estate. You may work from home.
You have more energy for work this month after the 20th. Excellent days for work and health matters occur on the 10-11 and June 30-July 1. Tensions on the job could arise on the 4-5, 6-9, 13-15, and 25-26. Health issues may be part of the picture on the 25-26, when your vitality is lower than usual.
Love affairs often heat up for you around the time of the Full Moon each month. This month’s Full Moon occurs on the 11th. The 9-12 are excellent days for you to attract love, or to solve problems in existing romantic relationships. A spouse or close partner could be especially playful and romantic this month, and might also demand a little more specialized attention.
Venus infuses charm into your communications from the 7th. Courteous and friendly relations with neighbors and others in your immediate environment typify this time cycle. It’s a time of peacemaking and forming bridges of good will and cooperation with people you meet on a daily or casual basis. Sending notes of appreciation and similar loving gestures lighten the atmosphere. Take time to do little favors, exchange pleasantries, notice the flowers in your neighbor’s garden, and comment on the positive things you see around you. Focus on humor and lighthearted conversation.
Fiery Mars continues to move through your romance and pleasure sector until the 20th, and your love life heats up. This is a very self-expressive time when you have lots of energy, but not necessarily self-discipline to match. You have more energy at your disposal to express yourself creatively, through activities with children, romantic activities, hobbies, or sports. Your love life may step up a notch, and this could be an especially passionate time. You tend to put more energy into play and pleasure! Be careful not to burn the candle at both ends. Also, watch out for a tendency to want to gamble. You are more playful than usual, and especially magnetic. The planet of action activates your work and health sector from the 20th. You have more energy for work and your daily routines tend to speed up during this transit. Perhaps you have a larger workload than usual. It’s a great time to take charge of your health. You have much energy at your disposal to pick up (or step up) a health and physical activity program. It might be hard for you to work with others in a harmonious manner during this transit, and disputes with co-workers are possible. If you are feeling especially angry, frustrated, or restless, it would be wise to find little projects and things to do so that you can channel excess energy constructively, particularly around the 1-3 and 19-21. If health is affected, fevers or infections are more likely during this cycle.
While you may be caught up in reminisce in the first week of June, Mercury transits your solar fifth from the 9th, and intellectual diversions satisfy you most. It’s a good time to come up with some especially creative ideas, as the flow of your thoughts is more spontaneous and playful than usual. From the 28th, Mercury enlivens your work and health sector, keeping things chatty and busy on the job. The pace of your work environment is quickened, with lots of ideas and new information coming in. With Mars here as well, there’s bound to be quite a bit of movement in these areas of your life.
Mercury and Venus in warm aspect to your Sun/Ascendant from the 9-15 makes this period an excellent time overall to present your ideas, as others receive you warmly.
May 27 New Moon in Gemini just behind your solar fourth house affects you for approximately 4 weeks (until the next New Moon). Home and family may be a focus during this phase. On a personal, developmental level, this is a time to not only listen to what is in your gut, but to pay homage to those feelings! What makes you feel safe and secure? This is the time to explore and develop a sense of inner security. Although the fourth house is associated with the home, it is an angular, cardinal house that stirs up activity. This is a time of re-organization and heightened awareness of your roots, issues of intimacy and vulnerability, and it’s an excellent time to come in touch with your feelings and needs. Focusing on your support system and the manner in which you support others is also probable. This is a good time to make long-range plans for the future, to do any type of re-organizing or even re-modeling of the home or home environment, and for family-related activities.
June 3-4 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it’s time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won’t work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it’s best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.
June 4-7 Some exciting yet unstable energy is with us during this period. Venus forms tense aspects with Saturn, Jupiter, Chiron, and Pluto, and we can experience a confusing mix of feelings on social and romantic levels. Overdoing it, under-doing it, and general see-sawing when it comes to relationships and finances are the theme. Further, the Sun forms tense aspects with Mars and Uranus, inviting us to take risks, but we may not be considering the consequences! It’s a less than ideal time to start a relationship or to make a significant purchase. For you, your ruler (Neptune) forms a tense aspect with Mercury during this period, suggesting some problems being understood or heard, and your family and partnership sectors are stimulated, bringing issues surrounding these areas of life to the forefront.
June 9-12 Mercury trines Jupiter and then Uranus, offering us breakthrough insights and downright brilliant ideas if we choose to listen to our intuition. The Sun also trines dreamy Neptune and Venus sextiles Uranus–the picture is very pretty indeed! Let loose, have some fun, and enjoy this smooth energy. With your ruler in harmonious aspect to the Sun, you are received well and things seem to flow smoothly. Others may recognize you as a leader in some manner.
June 11-12 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you’re noticed for what you’ve done or haven’t done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don’t be afraid to show others exactly what you’re made of. You’re at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.
June 11 Full Moon in Sagittarius in your solar tenth house. This Full Moon involves Pluto and is supported by Neptune, intensifying issues illuminated by the Full Moon, but with the potential for acceptance and clearer understanding–even spiritual enlightenment. You are suddenly in the limelighteveryone notices you now. It’s time to put your best foot forward, but be sure to do so with grace and consideration for others, or you may just make a display that you regret later. Perhaps you’ve been hiding yourself away, taking it easy. Now you need a little attention, and career matters come to a head. You’re called to perform, perhaps on a moment’s notice, and it’s best to keep your cool and do whatever you can to show your competence.
June 14-15 Your ruler, Neptune, is square Venus, bringing love, romance, and financial matters to the fore. There could be some disagreements regarding money during this period. Avoid new financial initiatives just now.
June 17-18 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It’s all about you now, so it’s time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.
June 18-19 Mars conjoins Saturn and squares Jupiter. We’re forced to do things by the book, but may not want to. This is not the time to take shortcuts–they won’t work. When we think in big terms, or if we have the urge to expand, we confront obstacles or face reality. Some re-structuring of our lives and of our business goals is now in order. We may be looking for new challenges, sometimes because we are forced to do so (because things are not going exactly as we had planned). We have a desire to grow and expand, but our attitude is tempered with some caution and feelings of restriction. It is best to breathe new life into old plans rather than to strike out with a new plan altogether. Take steps to grow, but don’t overextend yourself at this time or you are bound to face frustrations. The delays we may face now are actually fortunate ones! Patience and endurance leads to accomplishment and slow but steady progress in business and practical matters. This is an excellent time for you to make a commitment to a new health regime or diet, as well as to a new work-related or organizing project.
June 19-20 Monthly money and income peak. You’re looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don’t have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up nowthe discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.
June 25 New Moon in Cancer just behind your solar fifth house affects you until the next New Moon. Creative self-expression comes under the realm of the fifth house, and a New Moon occurring here sparks the creative juices. Romantic inclinations are also highlighted, as are any kind of celebratory, playful, and just-for-fun endeavors. You will be especially aware of your need for approval and feedback from others, deriving pleasure from the ways your own creativity impact the world around you. This can be a passionate time for you, and a time when you might feel more bold than usual. If you are feeling good about yourself, and especially if you have taken advantage of the time for re-building of confidence that the New Moon in the fourth house brought, you will fairly radiate during this expressive period.
June 25-26 Your ruler, Neptune, forms a tense aspect with the Sun, and you may not be received well, or others could question your authority just now. This may be especially likely on the job.
June 26-27 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.
June 30-July 1 Venus trines Chiron and the Sun trines Jupiter. Romantic energy is strong, and good will reigns. This is a strong period for both relationships and finances. Healing energies are with us, and we tend to attract good things with our positive attitudes. For you, career matters, joint finances, investments, insurance and tax matters should go well.

May 2006: Pisces Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
May
Overview. All month, the Sun illuminates your solar third house, and you are especially mentally active and communicative. It’s a great time to network, strengthen casual connections to people in your immediate environment, You are more curious and alert than usual, and considerably more busy with errands, paperwork, phone calls, and light socializing. It’s not a time when you are especially focused. In fact, you could have a finger in many pies right now.
Venus continues her journey through your first house until the 12th,
and your desire to love and to be loved is stronger than usual. This is a cycle in which you naturally attract what you want, rather than aggressively pursue it. Your personal charm and cooperative attitude can get you far. You are also quite focused on your personal style and image, and it’s a good time to take steps to look your best. This is a “feel good” transit when others seem to especially appreciate your manner. From the 12th, the goddess of love and money travels through your money and values sector, where she feels quite at home. During this cycle, you are especially attracted to comfort and luxury items, as well as things that have long-term potential and value. You are more stable in your affections, valuing pleasurable yet solid relations more than usual. New relationships started under this cycle are likely to be durable and rather steady. Because Venus rules your eighth house, other people’s money or resources can strengthen your own financial picture this month. Venus also rules your communications sector, and writing, speaking, or transportation could also add to your income in May. At the very least, you are busy entertaining money-making ideas this month.

It’s a good time to get an objective perspective on your domestic affairs and family relationships. As well, you could be inclined to spend some quality time at home with your significant other, who likely prefers quiet, intimate times just now.
The grand trine on May 4-9 falls in your self-expression sectors, and you feel particularly courageous and pioneering. Because Uranus is involved in the trine and on your Sun, this is a power period for you. Don’t pass up on opportunities now. Advances can also be made with personal finances, your career, and any matter that requires drawing upon your personal resources. It’s a good time to travel, if this is possible, and sound speculation is favored as well. Creative ventures also fare well.

More and more, your personal philosophies and views receive public attention, and you may find that teaching is incorporated into your career.

You may experience some tensions near the end of May, as you could be asking yourself whether your career leaves room for growth. Your work this month involves quite a bit of movement (for example, running errands and making connections), mental activity, and talk. Work is especially rewarding on the 27th, and some challenges or confusion are likely on the 9-10.
Your attitude towards your personal finances is a little more bold this month, as you are inclined towards taking a few risks. The 4-8 is an excellent period for launching new financial initiatives, while caution should be exercised on the 16-17 and 22-24, particularly with investing and speculation.
Romance is heating up and quite lively this month. A lover may be restless mid-month, and it’s a good time for a romantic get-away. An excellent period for attracting love is the 4-8. Challenges in your love life are possible on the 16-17 and likely on the 22-24.
Mars moves through your romance and pleasure sector all month. This is a very self-expressive time when you have lots of energy, but not necessarily self-discipline to match. You have more energy at your disposal to express yourself creatively, through activities with children, romantic activities, hobbies, or sports. Your love life may step up a notch, and this could be an especially passionate time. You tend to put more energy into play and pleasure! Be careful not to burn the candle at both ends.

April 27 New Moon in Taurus in your solar third house affects you until the next New Moon.

May 4-9 Some exciting cosmic energy is with us now, with a grand trine involving action-oriented Mars, lucky Jupiter (your co-ruler), and inventive Uranus in your sign. This is a time of “lucky breaks”, although we need to capitalize on opportunities in order to benefit from them. Our intuition is good, we have a feel for new things and ideas, and we can benefit from timely action. Begin a creative activity (or enjoy the fruits of a successful one), and listen to your intuition. As long as we aren’t foolhardy, this is a good time for speculation, self-promotion, and recognition. This grand trine affects your self-expressive houses, and you have the chance to advance any matter that draws upon your personal sense of courage and adventure. Your life benefits from renewed focus, commitment, and vitality. It’s also an excellent time for spiritual endeavors, career, and personal finances. With Uranus on your Sun, you have extra willpower, verve, and energy that you can direct toward achieving your goals. You are able to act decisively, with leadership and courage. Success in contracts, negotiations, and business deals comes easily.
May 7-8 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it’s time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won’t work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it’s best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.
May 9-10 Your ruler, Neptune, challenges the Sun. Misunderstandings, possibly on the job, are likely to arise now. Avoid making a presentation or starting an important conversation now, as you are likely to be misrepresented–or to misrepresent yourself! Others may question your integrity now.
May 11-12 Venus sextiles Chiron; Mercury sextiles Uranus and opposes Jupiter. This is an excellent period for romantic and intimate relationships. Good news or illuminating conversations offer hope and ease your mind. Healing energy is with you now–you have the chance to make amends or to offer support. It’s a great time to make a presentation or to start an important conversation.
May 13 Full Moon in Scorpio in your solar ninth house. This Full Moon is supported by Mars and challenged by Neptune, cautioning us that we may be reading too much (or too little) into issues illuminated by the Full Moon. However, this can be a spiritually enlightening time. Your attention to the logical world of reason has been a focus in the last two weeks. Now you feel a crisis of lack. Your personal beliefs may be tested now. Your impulses and faith matter, and all of the attention you’ve been giving to mundane affairs has you wondering when you’re going to have some fun. You want to take a leap of faith now. Your adventurous side pushes up and out, demanding attention.
May 14 Your ruler, Neptune, challenges Mercury. A conflict of wills or blockages can occur with a significant other or a family member. You are feeling misrepresented and misunderstood under this temporary influence. It’s not a good day to push projects forward, present an idea, make a proposition, or sign on the dotted line.
May 14-15 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you’re noticed for what you’ve done or haven’t done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don’t be afraid to show others exactly what you’re made of. You’re at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.
May 16-17 Awkward energy is with us now, and it’s best to lay low. Confusion about where we are headed, and awkward communications can put a damper on our spirits. Relax, reflect, and avoid confrontations. This is a challenging day for finances. Avoid speculation at all costs now.
May 20-21 Venus sextiles dreamy Neptune (your ruler) and contra-parallels exciting Uranus. Romantic energy is strong, but avoid getting into an unrealistic state of mind, as this will only serve to aggravate the tense period coming on May 22-24. This is a time when enlightenment can come in a flash. You are especially magnetic and attractive now. You are exuding warm, romantic energy and are sure to get noticed.
May 21-22 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It’s all about you now, so it’s time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.
May 22-24 Venus squares Mars with Mercury intensifying the square. Venus square Mars is a time of romantic misadventures and war between the sexes. With Mercury involved as well, a tendency to say the wrong thing only aggravates the tension. Try not to fly off the handle, and avoid making impulsive decisions with love, partnership, and money.
May 23-24 Monthly money and income peak. You’re looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don’t have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up nowthe discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible. Because this occurs at the same time as the Venus square Mars aspect above, a little financial crisis is he most likely scenario.
May 25-26 Venus trines Pluto and Mercury squares Uranus. Our feelings are intense and impassioned, but not in an offensive or destructive way. Hopefulness for the future is featured. A good time for financial endeavors, especially if they involve computers, technology, and new (futuristic) ideas.
May 27 New Moon in Gemini in your solar fourth house affects you for approximately 4 weeks (until the next New Moon). Home and family may be a focus during this phase. On a personal, developmental level, this is a time to not only listen to what is in your gut, but to pay homage to those feelings! What makes you feel safe and secure? This is the time to explore and develop a sense of inner security. Although the fourth house is associated with the home, it is an angular, cardinal house that stirs up activity. This is a time of re-organization and heightened awareness of your roots, issues of intimacy and vulnerability, and it’s an excellent time to come in touch with your feelings and needs. Focusing on your support system and the manner in which you support others is also probable. This is a good time to make long-range plans for the future, to do any type of re-organizing or even re-modeling of the home or home environment, and for family-related activities.
May 28 Your ruler, Neptune, trines Mercury. This is an excellent day to spend with family or those near and dear to your heart. Partnerships can be enhanced, or attracted. An excellent day to get closer to someone and to express yourself.
May 29-30 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others!

Pisces (Born March 2 to March 11) and Pisces Ascendant 10 to 20 degrees Pisces:
April 2006: :Pisces Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
April
Overview. A solar eclipse at the end of March fell in your solar second house, and its effects reverberate throughout April (and beyond). The sequence of eclipses in Aries and Libra in the past while have called you to strike a balance between your own needs for security and comfort and the same needs of other people, often a significant other. Personal finances have been a strong focus. How well have you taken care of your finances? More importantly, have you taken charge of your personal sense of security? Issues of shared resources, sexuality, and possessions have come to the fore. With March’s eclipse, it’s time to start fresh with regards to how you go about satisfying your needs for security and comfort.
Mercury moving through your solar first house until the 24th makes you more talkative and sociable than usual. Mercury’s retrograde last month meant that others misunderstood what you had to say, and misread your body language as well. Partnership and family/home issues were compromised as well. Mercury moving forward means that problems you may have had with such matters are lifting. Your judgment was compromised in March, but this becomes a thing of the past in April. Now is the time when you can go ahead with partnership and family decisions. What you say now not only has impact, it’s understood and appreciated.
Privacy in your personal life continues to be paramount until mid-month. Laying low in both romance and finances is advised until mid-month. Venus moving into your solar first house on the 15th is a “feel good” transit. You are personable and your people skills are above par. It’s a good time to exert your personal influence, as you are especially cooperative and gracious during this period. What do you want? Now is the time when you can attract it. Although it wouldn’t be far-fetched to assume that gifts and rewards are coming your way, don’t sit around and wait. Circulate, express yourself, and have a little fun. Any new relationships started now are bound to be (at least a little bit) based on ego-stroking! Existing relationships take on a more playful tone. You’re making heads turn in April.
Mars continues its journey through your home and family sector this month. You have more energy at your disposal for domestic projects or activities. Because your actions are governed by your instincts during this period, you may be especially defensive and protective. You may work hard at making yourself feel more secure, and you may be called upon to take charge on the home and family front. You may have more energy to invest in homemaking, house repairs, re-decorating, or family activities. In fact, if you are feeling very restless, moody, or defensive during this period, it would be a good idea to do any of these things! You may have an increased desire to rule the roost, and if this transit stimulates conflict or disputes, it is likely to be family-related–you may have arguments with them, about them, or on their behalf. You may also encounter opposition from career-related matters or people. Conflict is most probable around the 6th-9th, when Mars opposes Pluto. You could encounter some opposition, and it likely revolves around your public versus private life.
Saturn turning direct this month is good news for you. While Saturn was retrograde for the last 4-1/2 months, you may have felt blocked, especially with issues surrounding work and health. Stagnation and a feeling of being in a rut were likely. You may have been really dragging yourself out of bed in the morning! As well, health and vitality were not up to par. These matters are not going to be moving forward quickly just yet, but you will begin to feel more on top of things now. Take this opportunity to start a new health and diet regime.
Highlights:
March 29 New Moon in Aries (Total Solar Eclipse) in your solar second house. This energy is with you until the next New Moon, and beyond (its effects can extend up to 6 months). Heightened sensitivity to the world of the five senses, to your physical environment, and to the security you gain from the solid ground you have built for yourself is in order for this period of time. Attunement to, and appreciation of, the physical world of the senses is the focus, and this is a time to start fresh in terms of how you arrange your life in order to feel a sense of value and worthiness. Financial issues come into focus. Setting realistic financial goals, as well as formulating such things as budgets and other sensible financial planning projects, will be favored during this time. Discovering ways to increase your income is featured. It is also a wonderful time for taking moments to pleasure yourself through earthy, tactile, and comforting endeavors.
April 2-4 Some exciting cosmic energy is with us now. Venus is parallel Chiron and sextile Pluto, and Mercury re-visits its trine to Jupiter. This is an excellent period for financial undertakings, love, and overall good humor. If you’ve been waiting for the right time to make a purchase, here it is.
April 5-6 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you!

April 6-9 Mars opposes Pluto and Mercury forms a tense aspect with Saturn. Conflicts are very possible now, and they likely revolve around attention given to family and to career.

Trying to get the upper hand is fruitless today.

April 23-25 The Sun and Venus form tense aspects with Saturn, and it’s best to avoid new financial undertakings, as they may prove to be “money pits” as time passes. There can be difficulties relating to others, and it’s hard to satisfy the ego. We feel blocked by circumstances or by others. It’s too easy to feel discouraged, but discouragement is a time waster.

Highlights:
January 29 New Moon in Aquarius in your solar twelfth house. This is a period of review, letting go, and recharging your spiritual and, in effect, physical “batteries”. Focus for the next few weeks is on fulfillment through service, empathy, and awareness of other’s needs; but it can also be a time of withdrawal and some sort of retreat in a social sense, depending on your personal and natural predisposition. Some kind of soul-searching is in order, and the urge to find some level of emotional peace of mind will be apparent. This is a more sensitive position of the New Moon, and it is best to find some sort of peace for the soul in preparation for the New Moon in the first house at the end of the montha period that is more active and busy than this one.

At work, you may feel a little overbooked as tasks multiply and time is short to complete them. Once you’ve put on the finishing touches, you’ll be able to stand back and take pride in your accomplishments. A good time for an office party, if you can concoct a good excuse for one. In general right now, celebrate finished tasks.

Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.
February 17 From approximately 1:30 PM EST and through the night, a love opportunity. The Moon is in relationship-oriented Libra, and we are at our charming best.

Romantic opportunities are likely to present themselves, especially around the Full Moon mid-month. Your ruling planet, Neptune, aligns with Jupiter and Venus in declination, and this configuration suggests a rather “lucky” month. Still, because Venus is retrograde, be careful about beginning any major new financial or romantic association. Connections may be made this month (especially with regards to past friends and group associations), but action should be held off until after February 3rd.
Highlights:
December 31-January 1 New Moon in Capricorn, sets a theme for the month ahead. Make a resolution concerning commitment to your career goals on December 31st to January 1st. Think of ways to add more structure and organization to your life. This New Moon occurs in your solar eleventh house. The eleventh house is a house associated with networking, making contact, group activities, and income earned from business. With the New Moon here, focus is on making contacts and reaching out to others in both a social and professional sense. It’s a time to turn inner restlessness into fruitful contact with others. Heightened awareness of your position in life within the context of the group, rather than through self-centered focus, is probable with this position of the New Moon, as well as a need for social security. Goals that involve networking, making connections with others, joining or strengthening ties in a group project/activity, and nurturing good will are the focus this month.
January 4 Your ruler, Neptune, forms a tense aspect with Mercury, suggesting that you might suffer from confusing communications and misunderstandings today, likely because you are experiencing information overload and can’t quite sort everything out. What you say, or what you don’t say, today can get you into hot water. Put off important decisions for now.
January 4-5 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It’s all about you now, so it’s time to put your best face forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.
January 6-7 Monthly money and income peak. You’re looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don’t have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up now–the discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.
January 8 From 4:35 PM EST to midnight, it’s a good time for business affairs, or making small purchases. Do remember, however, that Venus is retrograde the entire month of January, so hold off, if you can, on major purchases, financial initiatives, or starting new love affairs.
January 13 A power day for you. Your communication skills are through the roof. You could be the recipient of pleasant news, an invitation, or you might make an important new contact.
January 13-14 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. You have an emotional need for recreation. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.
January 14 Full Moon in Cancer in your solar fifth house. Spontaneity is the watchword right now, and it’s time to kick back and have some fun, especially with close friends and children. If you’re at a party and go just a little bit over the top, you will likely be in good company, as this is a general time of celebration for all. Passion and intensity, on any topic you choose, can run rampant and enthusiasm overflows. If you’re trying to get business done, you’ll be swimming against the tide, so if you have the option, just go with the flow. If you’re working on a creative project, make sure you get the product preserved for posterity — on paper, on film, on tape, on CD. If you’re just going to be pleasantly out to lunch, don’t bother, just enjoy.
January 18 Your ruler, Neptune, confronts fiery Mars today. Buried anger and frustration may get the best of you right now. Try your best to work things out in a positive manner.
January 18-19 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it’s time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won’t work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it’s best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.
January 19 From 6 AM to 2PM EST, a great time to get organized on the job, or to start a diet, physical activity, or health regime. Finish up odds and ends, attend to details, and then breathe a sigh of uncluttered relief.
January 23 Venus trine Mars today and affects your eleventh and third solar houses. An opportunity to express yourself creatively comes through the written word or through group associations. This is an excellent day for you in terms of personal magnetism and the power of attraction.
January 25-26 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you’re noticed for what you’ve done or haven’t done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don’t be afraid to show others exactly what you’re made of. You’re at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.
January 29 New Moon in Aquarius in your solar twelfth house. This is a period of review, letting go, and recharging one’s spiritual and, in effect, physical “batteries”. Focus, now, is on fulfillment through service, empathy, and awareness of other’s needs; but it can also be a time of withdrawal and some sort of retreat in a social sense, depending on your personal and natural predisposition. Some kind of soul-searching is in order, and the urge to find some level of emotional peace of mind will be apparent. This is a more sensitive position of the New Moon, and it is best to find some sort of peace for the soul in preparation for the New Moon in the first house at the end of the montha period that is more active and busy than this one.
January 31-February 1 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It’s all about you now, so it’s time to put your best face forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.
Pisces (Born March 12 to 20)
AND Pisces Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Pisces:
December 2006: Pisces Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
December
Overview. Until the 12th, the Sun puts a spotlight on your adventure sector. This transit that started in November finds you at your most adventurous and philosophical. Routine tends to bother you now, as you instinctively are drawn towards anything that brings you up and out of the mundane. You feel more fulfilled when you expand your horizons during this cycle. This can be a restless time, and it could also be a little self-indulgent. As long as you don’t fall into the trap of blind optimism, it’s a very pleasant time when you have the guts to do something different and enjoy yourself. You are also in the position to gain more of an overall perspective on your life and on your goals.
From the 12th, the Sun illuminates your solar tenth house–the most visible sector in your chart. It’s a time when matters regarding your reputation, career, and public standing come to the fore–the time of year when you are most wrapped up in “taking care of business”, duties and responsibilities, and professional concerns. More than any other time of the year, your focus is drawn to your “place” in the outer world, your reputation, and your standing in society. This is the time when you are more interested in, and focused on, accomplishing something important. Your competency is something that you are especially sensitive to during this cycle. You want to shine. Recognition is likely to come your way whether you ask for it or not, and the responsibility that comes with it. Do what you feel is right, keeping in mind that you are at your most visible during this period in the year.
While you begin the month with a real sense of adventure and the urge to expand your horizons, focus shifts to more professional concerns. You are especially accountable for your actions in the second half of the month. Everyone seems to be looking over your shoulder, observing what you do and what you are capable of. This is one of the busiest times of the year professionally, when you are in high demand. Support from behind the scenes or from an unlikely source is likely to come to you. Take advantage of the 10th, when you are recognized for the work you have done, and the 19th, when a partner opportunity arises.
In the first half of the month, enthusiastic energy as well as a brand new, exciting perspective is brought to your life experiences. This can come by way of a new learning or teaching opportunity, a trip, an invitation, or contact with someone who expands your life view. Inspiration can also come through a conversation, reading a book, or other such means. However it arrives, inspiration is felt strongly now.
A renewed sense of purposefulness derived from a more expansive, broader outlook on life is with you now. This newfound vigor can mean a very hectic but energizing schedule, an inspiring and revealing conversation, or a new opportunity for expanding your horizons through travel or higher learning.
This month, three inner planets (the Sun, Mercury, and Venus) align with Pluto and also form a harmonious trine to Saturn. With Saturn in your solar sixth and Pluto in your solar tenth, this can be a highly productive period. Your sometimes Herculean efforts, paying close attention to performance and to details, will not go unrewarded! Some of your most natural talents–the things that come easy–also meet with reward and acceptance. Sometimes in life, those with their nose to the grindstone can be overlooked. Not so for you now and into 2007. The details and the “little things” make all the difference. Perfecting your particular craft is natural now. Some of you may find that your career is moving towards a more service-oriented direction. This link is a long-term trend that occurs again next August and is in effect until then. Determination, perseverance, and a deep sense of purposefulness are brought to your professional life–you are able to establish long-term, meaningful professional ties. The dates in December when you could see initial benefits, or at least hints of things to come, occur on the 6-8, 16-18, and 24-25.
Your ruler, Neptune, forms some very pleasing aspects this month, and on the days that it does, you are likely to feel supported, appreciated, inspired, and gently challenged. These periods are the 1st, 9-10, 19, and 30-31. The 1st brings easy acceptance, particularly on a professional level, but it also extends to personal pursuits. The 9-10 finds you recognized for your competency, authority, or sense of responsibility. It’s feel-good energy. Good news or a rewarding conversation could come your way on the 19th. It’s also an opportune time to present your ideas. The 30-31 is a strong period for all personal initiatives, as well as for finances. Many positive connections between your tenth house and twelfth house suggests that work done behind the scenes may be revealed or incorporated into your career or public life. Past efforts pay off now. Red flag periods–when you are not received as well as you would like, or are prone to impulsive, hasty, or ill-timed behavior, occur on the 12-13 and 29. Avoid scheduling important events on these days, if you can.
This is an excellent period for personal finances, and for taking responsibility for what you own and earn. The most opportune periods of the month for finances include the 9-12 and 27-31. Speculation and new financial initiatives are best avoided on the 20-22. Financial challenges are possible now.
As far as romantic and creative matters go, opportunities to enhance or attract romance occur on the 6, 16, and 25. These periods represent power days for personal magnetism, charisma, and creativity. Issues that could be annoying or disconcerting concerning romantic matters are more likely to occur on the 11, 19, and 27. These would be less than ideal days to go on a first date, for example. For more serious partnerships, very positive energy is with you in December. Long-term relationships tend to thrive on the 9-10, 12, and 25. Tensions in close partnerships are more likely on the 4, 15, 22, and 29.
Better times to schedule job interviews or health appointments, and for success and happiness on the job, occur on the 9-10 and 16-18. Red flag periods for these matters occur on the 2-3, 12-14, 24, and 31, when you should probably avoid scheduling health appointments or job interviews if feasible. Matters related to your career and reputation are exceptionally strong this month, and are most favorable on the 9-12 and 26-27.
While Venus is in your tenth house from the 3-27, you are most charming and well-received on the job. Your responsibility and authority are likeable qualities now, making this a favorable period overall for schmoozing with those in a higher position than you, as well as for negotiations or social activities related to business. Venus is charming, friendly, and affectionate, and her presence in your career and reputation sector brings social opportunities to your career. You are coming across well at work now, and romantic opportunities, or simply more chances to socialize and network, are likely. The areas of life where you are most likely to express your social, romantic, and artistic qualities are through social and professional life. You are socially ambitious right now, and success may come though your good managerial qualities or some form of artistic talent, or, indirectly through your marriage partner. People who turn your head during this cycle are those who have social status, or who come across as especially competent.
Mercury transits your adventure sector until the 21st. This is a good time to plan or perhaps take a journey. Travel and exposure to new ideas and ways of thinking about the world interest you now. You may meet and learn from someone from another culture or with significantly different beliefs and experiences than your own. Philosophical discussions or studies are also on the agenda. Your inclination during this cycle is to think about the “big picture” rather than the mundane circumstances and details of your life.
Mercury is in your career and reputation from the 21st, bringing rational and logical energy to your public life. You tend to think about your position or standing on a professional level more frequently during this cycle. You are likely doing some multi-tasking regarding career and business matters, as your career requires more communication than usual. You speak with authority during this cycle, and you are more accountable than usual for what (and how) you communicate. Your ideas may come into public view now. Use the power of words to influence authority figures. You might draw upon your executive ability now. It’s an excellent period in which to analyze career strategies, moves, and prospects. Negative use of this influence would be to worry unnecessarily about your reputation and responsibilities.
Mars activates your ninth house all month. It’s a fabulous time for promoting your ideas and beliefs, although coming on too strong could work against you, particularly around the 20th itself. If you can’t travel, you’ll feel like doing so, or at least travel in your mind, simply because you have a great urge to expand your horizons in some manner. Energies thrown toward recreation, travel, or just cooking up great new ideas are well spent and serve to refresh and renew your vitality. Creative projects can flourish with your added confidence and enthusiasm now. You are bent on doing something different or “bigger” than you normally would. If you can’t find an outlet for this energy, you could feel quite restless.
Overall, the best periods of the month for you are the 1-6, when you feel energetically supported by life’s circumstances and when you are naturally confident without coming on too strong; and the 27-31, when your charm is especially well-received.
Highlights:
December 1-2 Monthly money and income peak. You’re looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don’t have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up nowthe discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.
December 2-3 Hard aspects operative now include Sun-Uranus, Venus-Chiron, and Mercury-Saturn. Negative thinking and expectations, as well as a generally rebellious mood, are not conducive to easy relating. Avoid pushing matters just now, particularly with a close partner or co-worker. Speculative pursuits should be saved for a better date.
December 4 Full Moon in Gemini in your solar third house. Some sort of fulfillment, culmination, or revelation regarding your desires or new initiatives at the last New Moon on November 20th occurs now. The last two weeks have found you somewhat restless and in need of more from life than the mundane. Now the mundane is catching up with you. Errands need to be run, people are talking your ear off, you need to do some paperwork and answer calls. An important document could arrive, or a sudden need to run an important errand or to take a short trip could be part of the picture. You are pushed to find a balance now. Do what needs to be done so that you can free yourself up for more adventurous and fulfilling activities.
December 6-8 Venus joins with Pluto and trines Saturn. Passions are strong and intense, but controlled. A new sense of responsibility in our social relationships is with us, and it’s of a pleasant variety–we feel renewed, committed, and dedicated. Solid proof of commitment gives us a deep feeling of purposefulness and meaning. An opportunity to stabilize and strengthen a social or romantic bond arises now. In your case, this configuration occurs in your career, work, and health sectors, making this a strong opportunity period for professional and productivity matters. Relationships are imbued with a deep sense of trust, maturity, and respect now, particularly those with authority or co-workers. Sincerity and depth are most important to you just now in your relationships, particularly professional ones. New responsibilities concerning your commitments to your ambitions and to your job or health and fitness may arrive now, but they give you a strong sense of meaning and purposefulness. This is an outstanding period for committing to a nutrition, fitness, or other health regime. This is also a strong opportunity period for shared finances (loans, taxes, or any money that doesn’t come directly from personal efforts) as well as communications of all kinds.
December 7-8 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.
December 9-12 Mercury, Mars, and Jupiter align, and the Sun sextiles Neptune. Tremendous enthusiasm, newfound vigor, and optimism characterize this period. We are inspired, hungry for new experiences, and eager to share our ideas with others. Enthusiastic energy as well as a brand new, exciting perspective is brought to your life experiences. This can come by way of a new learning or teaching opportunity, a trip, an invitation, or contact with someone who expands your life view. Inspiration can also come through a conversation, reading a book, or other such means. However it arrives, inspiration is felt strongly now. A renewed sense of purposefulness derived from a more expansive, broader outlook on life is with you now. This newfound vigor can mean a very hectic but energizing schedule, an inspiring and revealing conversation, or a new opportunity for expanding your horizons through travel or higher learning.
December 12-13 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it’s time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won’t work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it’s best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.
December 15-18 The Sun joins with Pluto and trines Saturn; Mercury squares Uranus; Venus sesquiquadrates Saturn. The best way to use this energy to your advantage would be to focus on your commitment to your long-term goals. Hold off on major decision-making, saving it for a more auspicious time. Working on projects already in progress with an eye to your future is best now; research is especially rewarding. Ideally, you should be focusing on career and reputation objectives. Wait until after the New Moon on the 20th, however, to begin new initiatives, particularly those that involve home and family, communications, and joint finances. Focus on research for the time being. Avoid financial initiatives if possible. While you may be able to solidify a work matter now, family and partnership matters may be unpredictable at best, and you could also be taken off guard by new responsibilities with joint finances.
December 19-20 Venus sextiles Uranus and Mercury sextiles Neptune. Pay special attention to your intuition now. We happily embrace all that is new, unusual, and out-of-the-ordinary during this period. For you, this is a strong period for joint finances, or any money that comes from sources other than your personal income, communications, family and home matters, and partnerships. Strong and pleasant communications from or about a friend is likely. This is an excellent period for attracting or strengthening a partnership.
December 20 New Moon in late Sagittarius in your solar tenth house affects you until the next New Moon. This New Moon carries with it the potential for tremendous growth and transformation. This cycle represents an opportunity to find ways to transcend the mundane details of day-to-day life and nurture our faith, commitment, hope, and vision. Heightened sensitivity to your standing in society and your goals for constructive progress are highlighted this month. It’s a good time to develop new business plans and goals, assuming the New Moon is not very afflicted, and a sense of renewal and reinvigoration with regards to your career goals is a potential. It is a time to focus on the elements of your personality that you are projecting to society and as a professional. Goals for self-mastery and self-discipline should be made at this time. This is a phase when you will be busy with career and/or public responsibilities.
December 20-21 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you’re noticed for what you’ve done or haven’t done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don’t be afraid to show others exactly what you’re made of. You’re at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.
December 21-22 Mars squares Uranus. It’s challenging to focus on any one particular task. Rebelliousness and impatience with rules and restrictions could get the best of us. For you, there could be some tension regarding the demands of career getting in the way of your personal initiatives. Unpredictable financial matters could leave you feeling insecure or frustrated. Avoid stirring up more trouble than necessary now–many people aren’t in the most cooperative of moods.
December 24-25 Mercury joins with Pluto and trines Saturn. This is a time when we may share ideas, feelings, or thoughts that we normally keep hidden. Research brings rewards, new insights into old problems invites progress, and the uncovering of previously hidden information is inspiring. Thoughts, ideas, and communications are more intense and focused. We are more able, and motivated, to find hidden meanings and to cut to the chase. Efficiency and relevancy become important. This is an especially strong period for you in terms of gaining insight into your career and reputation. An eye-opening conversation or discovery may figure now. Very strong opportunities for family, home, and partnerships or negotiations arise now.
December 26-27 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It’s all about you now, so it’s time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.
December 28-29 Monthly money and income peak. You’re looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don’t have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up nowthe discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.
December 28-29 Hard aspects operative now include Venus-Jupiter and Mercury-Neptune. Jupiter sextiles Chiron. This is a dreamy period when pie-in-the-sky thinking tends to dominate. Excess is a strong inclination, with little thought about the consequences! While you may enjoy some wonderful professional connections, you could be inclined to feel misunderstood on a personal level. Enjoy yourself, but avoid going over the top.

Pisces (Born March 12 to 20)
AND Pisces Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Pisces:
November 2006: Pisces Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
November
Overview. Until the 12th, the Sun continues to spotlight your sector of transformation, change, sexuality, personal growth, regeneration, others’ money and resources, addictions, and taxes. As a result, this is not the most gregarious of periods for you. You take a step back, focus on intimacy with a partner, or simply retreat a little from the hectic pace of life. This is an excellent time to create a budget or financial plan, or to rid yourself of bad habits that undermine your sense of personal power and self-mastery. All that is deeply personal comes into focus now. Intimate matters are especially important to you during this cycle. Just how well you are handling your life comes up for inspection. Your self-mastery skills and psychological predisposition matter to you more than usual. This is the time of year when you are most desirous of change on a deep level. Clearing out psychic “junk” or ridding yourself of bad habits may be part of the picture now. You are more willing than usual to explore life’s secrets. This cycle brings greater in-depth understanding and an inclination to delve beneath the surface of matters to get to the bottom of them. Research uncovers new material that allows you to develop a better overall picture of the year’s events. This is an especially introspective cycle during which you have the chance to truly uncover your personal strengths and talents. On a more mundane level, you may be dealing with joint finances and shared resources now.
From the 12th, the Sun illuminates your adventure sector. Your focus turns outward, away from the more personal concerns that have occupied your thoughts in the last months. More than any other time during the year, you are feeling most adventurous and willing to take a leap of faith. This is a cycle in which you seek a higher meaning to your life, and/or seek out new experiences that take you beyond the here and now, and beyond the mundane details of day-to-day life. Anything that broadens your experiences attracts now. A lack of superficiality finds you straight to the point, interested in the truth of things. It would be wise for you to consider scheduling a vacation, adventure of sorts, or a course that expands your mind. These don’t have to happen now, but taking the time to recognize your needs for escaping the daily grind, taking a few risks, and feeding your spirit for self-expression through some form of adventure or higher learning, will help you to feel good about yourself. The only caution with this cycle is that you could lose touch with everyday affairs and important details.
All things foreign or undiscovered not only appeal by mid-month, but could bring new opportunities. Youre likely to make some important connections if you venture forth onto unfamiliar ground. An educational, advertising, or other communications project bears fruit around the 5th. Dealing with private matters could be sticky this month, however, and require special care and sensitivity.
There is a rare preponderance of planets (the Sun, Mercury, Venus, Mars, and Jupiter) in the sign of Scorpio in the first approximately three weeks of November, placing strong emphasis on your adventure sector. This allows you to focus on one area of your life, but it can also incline you to obsess on the same! In your case, higher education, advanced learning, travel, adventure, and broadening your horizons capture much of your attention. Some of these planets (the Sun, Venus, and Jupiter) enter Sagittarius in the last week of the month, and a shift occurs towards emphasis on career and reputation matters. From the 19-23, some key astrological events give us a shot of adrenaline–Uranus turns direct, the New Moon occurs late in the sign of Scorpio, the Sun and Jupiter align, also late in the sign of Scorpio, and Jupiter enters Sagittarius.
Uranus direct on the 19th gives us all a blast of electric energy. Moving forward in your twelfth house, and as the ruler of your twelfth, this suggests new energy is brought to spiritual and private matters. Your intuition becomes more reliable. Stagnation in these areas begins to lift. A new insight about a past problem or a challenging predicament could figure. Alternatively, the re-surfacing of a matter from your past that requires attention could be part of the picture in the weeks surrounding the 19th. Uranus always acts to disrupt the status quo, often bringing surprising or erratic events.
Jupiter entering Sagittarius this month doesn’t yet place Jupiter in your solar tenth house, and thus its influence is very subtle for you for the time being. Jupiter changes sign approximately once a year, so this ingress is significant and represents a new shift of energy that will stay with us until December 2007. Jupiter does not officially move into your solar tenth house until November 2007. Until November 2007, Jupiter continues to transit your ninth house, and you may have opportunities to travel, study, go abroad, expand your horizons, and meet people who are of diverse backgrounds. Authors may be able to publish their works and generally receive good reviews at this time. You tend to become more intellectually curious, academic matters go well, success with business dealings is likely, legal proceedings may turn out in your favor, and legal advice can be very helpful at this time. Educational and travel opportunities expand your horizons. Teaching or learning is favored, and writing flows easily. This is also an excellent period for positive dealings with in-laws! These positive circumstances won’t necessarily fall into your lap, and are unlikely to come all at once. You need to keep your eyes open for opportunities in these areas of life.
Mercury remains retrograde in Scorpio until November 17th. Mercury retrograde cycles are periods when communications and transportation matters don’t go as smoothly as usual. All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of communications with or about partnerships, as well as communications with or about family and home, because Mercury rules these areas of your life. Occurring in your solar ninth house this cycle, you may find yourself misrepresented after expressing an opinion or with regard to promotional activities. Travel plans could go awry. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with partners and family members, as well as through promotional or public relations activities, during this cycle; or, better yet, take this time to rethink issues before talking about them prematurely. In the weeks following the 17th, these matters begin to move forward. Mercury leaves its storm on the 22nd, when “all things Mercury” tend to resume near-normal pace, and leaves its shadow on December 4th. From the 22nd to December 4th, we have a chance to revisit matters that may have stumped or annoyed us while Mercury was retrograde.
Your ruler, Neptune, forms some rather challenging aspects this month, suggesting snags in your plans, some obstacles, and challenges that keep you on your toes. From the 6-9, you could be feeling rather unsupported, left out, unappreciated, or misunderstood–perhaps even all of the above! This period represents a temporary roadblock. Lay low and don’t push. The 16-18 is another red flag period when feelings of being blocked could frustrate you. Avoid impulsive actions, especially with your finances. The 30th-December 1st is a power period for love matters, communications, and finances.
Opportunities to increase or secure your earning power and cash flow occur on the 7-9, 15th, 21st, and 30-December 1st. Red flag periods for finances, when it’s better not to plunge forward on new financial initiatives, and when some minor financial strains are more likely to occur, are on the 16-18 and 27-29.
Romantic and creative matters tend to take the back seat for the time being, although an important conversation or revelation can occur around the time of the Full Moon on the 5th. Opportunities to enhance or attract romance occur on the 6th, 14-16, 22nd, 26th, and 30th-December 1st. These periods represent power days for personal magnetism, charisma, and creativity. Watch for some problems with a close partner, particularly about issues from the past, around the 7-8.
Better times to schedule job interviews or health appointments, and for success and happiness on the job, occur on the 20-22 and 27-28. Red flag periods for these matters occur on the 8-9 and 16-17, when you should avoid scheduling health appointments or job interviews if feasible. Your mind is unlikely to be on detail work and mundane affairs this month, which could be distracting on the job.
Venus plays in your solar ninth house from the 9th. You are all the more attractive and charming with this position, which increases your popularity. Public relations work, promotion, and other such endeavors are favored now. It is more about how you express yourself than the specifics of what you are saying that helps sway others to your position. There could be especial rapport with foreigners and with women if you are traveling during this period. If a romance were to begin now, it is more likely to be with someone of a different background or educational level, or someone you meet through travel. You have a taste for the exotic now that can show up in many areas of your life–who you are attracted to, what you buy, the kind of art or entertainment you enjoy, and so forth.
Mercury, the planet of communication, continues to activate your solar ninth house until the 6th, when it dips back into your solar eighth house for the remainder of the month. Your mental and communicative abilities will largely be applied to the growth and development of your mind. Much of your knowledge may be gained through intuitive means rather than the study of books at this time. There is an aptitude for business and other financial dealings. Your mental disposition is ideally suited to work of an investigative nature, research, psychotherapy, psychiatry, or detective work. Focus the light of understanding and honest communication on emotionally-charged topics such as sexuality and intimacy, feelings about the power dynamics in your partnerships, and money you share with significant others. You can have a more objective and fair view of such things now, and could clarify any long-standing issues related to any of this. On a practical level, it is the time to handle joint finances, material assets or property you hold in common with another, and matters pertaining to inheritances, taxes, or commercial interests. The only caution here is that Mercury is retrograde and then its storm until the 22nd, when communications can be challenging or awkward and decision-making foggy.
Until the 21st, Mars activates your solar eighth house. Sexuality and intimacy are stimulated under this transit. Negative expression of this energy is the tendency towards ego conflicts concerning jointly held property or money. Conflicts with partners over values or possessions are possible. Occasionally, this transit could bring a crisis or ending of some kind. Something you hear about now might disturb or touch you deeply. You are likely to be more strategic in your actions during this period, as you become aware of the subtleties of human interaction. This is a time when your best course of action is to recognize that you need, or rely on, others for support.
Mars brings dynamic energy to your solar ninth house from the 21st. During this period, you are especially enthusiastic and more bold than usual. Some restlessness and hunger for adventure is experienced now. Essentially, you are looking to expand your activities, and you may find that you have a lot of energy for higher studies, travel, or simply new subjects. Negative potentials include being excessively opinionated or getting easily fired up over differences in points of view, or legal fights.
As planets begin to pile up in your solar ninth house in the second half of the month, routine affairs simply don’t seem to satisfy. You receive pleasure from anything that expands your horizons, both physically and mentally. Foreign people and places may particularly appeal now. You tend to be expansive and generous. With so many planets in trine to your Sun in the second half of November, you are bound to feel supported by the circumstances of your life overall.
Highlights:
November 1-3 Venus and the Sun trine Uranus, and Mercury retrograde squares Saturn. Although we are likely to revisit tense discussions and topics that occurred on October 22-23, this is a strong period for new ways of approaching old problems. For you, love and appreciation–even applause–comes your way. This is a mostly easy-going energy for you, as long as you don’t listen to the nay-sayers and overly critical folk.
November 2-3 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It’s all about you now, so it’s time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.
November 4-5 Monthly money and income peak. You’re looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don’t have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up nowthe discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.
November 5 Full Moon in Taurus in your solar second house. This Full Moon is emotionally passionate and potentially creative, but disillusionments may be part of the picture. Some sort of fulfillment, culmination, or revelation regarding your heart’s desire at the last New Moon on October 22nd occurs now. Intimacy, issues of power and control, or joint finances may have been a focus for the last two weeks. Now it’s time to recognize what makes you comfortable. This Full Moon is about balancing the give and take of intimacy–the giving and receiving of pleasure. Sharing issues come into focus, as do issues of power–what’s yours and what’s mine. Your comfort zones matter, and now is the time to take care of your own needs without eclipsing the needs of others.
November 6-9 With the Sun, Mercury, and Venus square Neptune during this period, we need to be wary of anything that looks too good to be true. Disappointments, disillusionments, foggy thinking, and wishful thinking are all strong possibilities now, and can affect our relationships, finances, communications, and more. This is a red flag period for all. For you, confusing circumstances surrounding a close partnership, work, health, and family could concern you for the time being. Judgment now can be clouded by wishful or impractical thinking, so it’s best to hold off on making important decisions. Your ruler in tense aspect with the Sun, Mercury, and Venus can indicate a period in which you feel unappreciated, misunderstood, and perhaps even slighted.
November 10-11 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.
November 15-16 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it’s time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won’t work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it’s best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.
November 15-16 Venus conjuncts Jupiter, and we have a taste for “the finer things” in life. Generosity, tolerance, and sociability come naturally, and so does over-indulgence in life’s pleasures. This is a strong period of attraction for you. Rewards through your career, recognition, a travel or education opportunity, or an income boost may come your way now.
November 17-18 The Sun squares Saturn and Mars squares Neptune. Mercury is stationary direct. Caution is in order – this is a red flag period for all. We are not seeing things clearly, and new initiatives should be avoided until after the New Moon on the 20th. You are inclined towards impulsive actions and should watch for hasty, ill-prepared actions or decisions. Disappointing news, frustrations on the job, or the resurfacing of a nagging problem may be part of the picture.
November 20 New Moon in late Scorpio in your solar ninth house affects you until the next New Moon. This New Moon aligns with good luck Jupiter, but also squares Saturn. This cycle represents an opportunity to rid ourselves of the “junk” in our lives–material and spiritual. The ninth house rules our spirit to grow, explore, and expand beyond the “regular” experiences in our lives. The New Moon here may bring some restlessness and dissatisfaction with regular routines. Make an effort to initiate new projects or activities that expand your mind, feed your spirit for adventure, and stretch your imagination. You may feel renewed by a new perspective on your life, something philosophical or spiritual that you read or learn, or an adventure that takes you away from the mundane routines in your life.
November 20-23 The Sun conjuncts Jupiter, Venus sextiles Chiron, Mercury trines Uranus, and Uranus turns direct. Power days for all. Electric energy, faithfulness, bright ideas, optimism, the desire to break out and experience more from life. This is a time to break free from limiting circumstances and to start something new. For you, you feel especially re-energized, confident, and on top of your game. A travel opportunity, or a chance to expand your mind, may be part of the picture now.
November 22-23 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you’re noticed for what you’ve done or haven’t done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don’t be afraid to show others exactly what you’re made of. You’re at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.
November 26-28 Venus squares Uranus, Mars squares Saturn. Watch for impulsive attractions. We may have to face the consequences of past behavior now. Forcing matters only brings resistance and frustrations. Avoid new financial initiatives for the time being, no matter how good they look. Challenges on the job may be present now.
November 29-30 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It’s all about you now, so it’s time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.

Pisces (Born March 12 to 20)
AND Pisces Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Pisces:
October 2006: Pisces Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
October
Overview. Until the 13th, the Sun illuminates your solar seventh house, your house of partnerships. Close relationships with others, negotiations, compromise, and one-on-one dealings all are in focus during this cycle. This is the time of year, however, when vitality may be at a low–when you are more likely to catch a cold or to need more sleep. Chances to improve or attract a close partnership abound, however. It’s time to compromise, negotiate, and perhaps let a partner take the lead for a while. A partner is a catalyst for you to discover and develop your own self, and to realize your own potential. During this time, you focus on balancing your personal interests and objectives with what would be best for a significant other. The emphasis is on “us” rather than “me”.
From the 13th, the Sun puts a spotlight on your solar eighth house. With the considerable energy of the Sun in your eighth house, much of your energy will be applied to deeply personal and transformative matters. The use of power is highlighted in some way during this cycle. Willpower, strategy, and financial ability are accentuated now. Something may be lost, so that something else is gained. This can be a time for getting down to business and of stripping away and discarding nonessentials. You can separate the wheat from the chaff, concentrating on important things. The Sun is energizing and spotlighting all that comes under the reign of the eighth house: transformation, change, sexuality, personal growth, regeneration, others’ money and resources, addictions, and taxes. As a result, this is not the most gregarious of months for you. You take a step back, focus on intimacy with a partner, or simply retreat a little from the hectic pace of life. This is an excellent time to create a budget or financial plan, or to rid yourself of bad habits that undermine your sense of personal power and self-mastery. Personal transformations, personal power, and intimate matters fulfill you most during this cycle. There may be a strong focus on other’s money, such as the resources of a partner, through inheritance, banking and loans, or taxes. You are inclined to be more intense and perhaps even secretive at this time of year. Emotions tend to run deep right now, and you don’t much like losing or feeling powerless. This can be a determined and personally powerful time of year if you apply the energy of this transit constructively.
Time spent getting in touch with your deepest needs and desires, and perhaps ridding yourself of bad habits, is time very well spent by mid-month forward. Intimate and deeply personal matters capture your attention. Its a strong period for research of any kind, intimately connecting with loved ones, and self-improvement programs. By mid-November, the rest of the world seems to play in your style. A taste for the exotic and wild imaginings grab hold. Opportunities to break out of your normal routine abound and excite. For now, concentrating on personal transformations and intimacy/power issues is in focus.
Your ruler, Neptune, forms some very pleasing aspects this month. This translates to some real opportunities for you to advance. Neptune trines Mars, the Sun, and then Venus–on the 3-5, 9-10, and 13-14. Increased initiative, recognition for your talents, and attracting others feature during these opportunity periods. There could also be a financial boost that figures in all of this. Rewards for past good deeds could easily come now, and could surprise you. Work and health matters could improve as well. However, it looks more like a financial opportunity than anything. An important communication can come your way from the 6-8, again most likely regarding money. Two challenging periods for your ruler in October include the 1-2, when overindulgence could be a symptom of a feeling of a lack of appreciation from others, and the 15-16, when you could be misunderstood or you could get news that bothers you.
Jupiter in your ninth house squares Saturn in your sixth house from the 18-31. We’re forced to do things by the book during this phase, but may not want to. This is not the time to take shortcuts–they won’t work. When we think in big terms, or if we have the urge to expand, we confront obstacles or face reality. Some re-structuring of our lives and of our business goals is now in order. We may be looking for new challenges, sometimes because we are forced to do so (because things are not going exactly as we had planned). We have a desire to grow and expand, but our attitude is tempered with some caution and feelings of restriction. There is no “easy fix” just now. It is best to breathe new life into old plans rather than to strike out with a new plan altogether. Take steps to grow, but don’t overextend yourself at this time or you are bound to face frustrations. You are best off eliminating something in order to improve the overall quality of your life. This aspect can play out in a number of different ways in your life, affecting issues surrounding work, health, daily routines, pets, services, and employees or co-workers (where demands or restrictions are present or required) on the one hand, and travel, adventure, philosophy, and higher education (where the urge to expand and enjoy is great) on the other. For example, while you are itching to get out and about in order to escape the monotony of routine, you could feel especially limited by work or health matters that keep you put.
Mercury turns retrograde in Scorpio on the 28th. This Mercury retrograde cycle lasts until November 17th. Mercury retrograde cycles are periods when communications and transportation matters don’t go as smoothly as usual. All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of communications with or about partnerships, as well as communications with or about family and home, because Mercury rules these areas of your life. Occurring in your solar ninth house this cycle, you may find yourself misrepresented after expressing an opinion or with regard to promotional activities. Travel plans could go awry. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with partners and family members, as well as through promotional or public relations activities, during this cycle; or, better yet, take this time to rethink issues before talking about them prematurely.
This is a very strong month for finances. Finances look to be mostly about other people’s money, such as that of a partner, via a loan, inheritance, and so forth. From the 20-26, your financial ruler forms powerful alignments with the Sun and Venus, offering nice opportunities, most likely, again, connected with loans, support, or a partner doing especially well. This period is actually loosely in effect from the 11-28. Another excellent period for money in October occurs on the 3-5–a truly fabulous time for financial opportunities and endeavors. Another stronger period of the month for finances is the 14-16. Watch for unexpected fluctuations on the 17-18, and avoid major financial initiatives, if you can, on the 29-30.
Intimate matters take top billing this month, particularly by the third week. With many planets concentrated in your intimacy sector, this is a month when intense discussions or deep changes are likely to occur in any ongoing romantic relationship. Partnerships are connected with the ninth house this month, which could involve foreign people, things, or concepts. Note that your partnership ruler, Mercury, slows down and retrogrades in the last week of the month–a period that is carried forward as well into November. A close partner could be hard to reach or rethinking things during that period. Alternatively, there could be some rehashing of the past or communication problems. The best way to handle this is to give each other the benefit of the doubt and perhaps a little space. The best period of the month for partnerships occurs on the 10-11. Challenges could arise on the 8-9, likely due to suspiciousness or doubts, and the 15-16, when disappointments or disillusionments are possible. The past may be rehashed, and this could be frustrating. The 21-25 is a “one step forward, two steps back” period, when you could stand to gain in a partnership, but may need to “lose” something in order to do so.
The best period in October for scheduling job interviews or health appointments, and for positive developments in these areas, is the 9-10. The 15-18 is another very strong period. You are likely showing more dedication and shouldering more responsibility willingly. As well, the 20-26 is likely to be a very active period of the month for these matters. New developments, increased creativity, as well as recognition could come your way during this period. Less favorable days for these matters include the 4-5, 19th, and 27-28. As far as career and professional matters are concerned, you might face some stumbling blocks around the time of the Jupiter-Saturn square on the 22-27.
Venus transits your partnership sector until the 16th. To a very marked degree, your general well-being and emotional health depend on sound and meaningful relationships–both social and romantic during this cycle. Financial prosperity or social success may come through your marriage partner at this time. Special attention to and from a partner is in focus, and flattery will get you everywhere if you use it wisely. Set aside some private time when no one else can get in the way of the feelings you want to share. Give to a partner exactly what you would like to receive just now. It’s not about you right now–it’s about someone else close, and the sweeter your attentions, the more delicious your rewards will be! Smoothing out your close personal relationships is what makes you happy during this cycle. You have a greater need than usual for contact and exchange with an intimate partner. If single, you are more willing than normal to enter into a committed relationship. In general, you are adaptable when it comes to your affections.
Venus transits your intimacy sector from the 16th. You attract others like bees to honey now, and you favor a partner who is intelligent, with a somewhat mysterious flair about them. A financial boost is likely, or you may gain financially through your partner. Your social circle may include people who are interested in mysteries or those who are engaged in some form of psychological work. A deep personal connection and intimate exchange can be healing, replenishing, and soothing to your soul. This is a good time to work on resolving grievances, differences in values, or money problems in a close relationship. There are also apt to be favorable developments regarding shared assets, jointly owned property, borrowing money, or repaying loans to the satisfaction of all concerned. You are likely to get both the financial backing and the emotional support you need to succeed. On a more personal level, intimate relationships are intensified. Either you or your partner want a deeper union.
Mercury transits your intimacy sector until the 18th. Focus the light of understanding and honest communication on emotionally-charged topics such as sexuality and intimacy, feelings about the power dynamics in your partnerships, and money you share with significant others. You can have a more objective and fair view of such things now, and could clarify any long-standing issues related to any of this. On a practical level, it is the time to handle joint finances, material assets or property you hold in common with another, and matters pertaining to inheritances, taxes, or commercial interests.
Mercury transits your adventure sector from the 18th. Cross-cultural exchanges, a visit or significant communication from someone far away, and/or a long journey broaden your thinking. Your thoughts are lifted above the usual daily concerns and immediate business into thoughts and visions about future, larger goals, and the purpose and meaning of your activities. You are putting everything into a larger context. Discussions and/or reading on issues of faith and of the spirit could be part of this.
Mars transits your intimacy sector from the 8th, and your personal, intimate life speeds up. You experience every situation intensely and deeply during this cycle, even though your outward actions do not necessarily reveal this fact. You could find yourself attracted to mysterious or even dangerous situations. Sometimes this transit correlates with disputes over money. This is a time when your best course of action is to recognize that you need, or rely on, others for support. Circumstances in life are likely to occur that require you to take the lead or to apply personal action in connection with joint finances.
In the first three weeks of the month, the preponderance of planets in Libra makes the period somewhat awkward or private for you, simply because Libra is not a particularly compatible sign with yours. The last week of the month, the planets shift to early Scorpio–most certainly a compatible sign. However, it will only be in November when many of these planets reach your own Sun (or Ascendant) and you feel lighter and more expressive.
Highlights:
October 3-5 Mars trines Neptune and Venus trines Chiron. This combination is spiritual, heartwarming, and compassionate. It’s an excellent period for enhancing and healing relationships, as well as for expressing compassion and understanding. We act on our intuition now and our creative impulses are potent. We are less tense and driven, and more relaxed. “What will be, will be” is the attitude. Inspiration can be found. The arts and anything that requires relying on intuition and imagination are favored. This is a power period for you, particularly when it comes to personal finances.
October 5-6 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It’s all about you now, so it’s time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.
October 6-7 Full Moon in Aries in your solar first house. This Full Moon is emotionally passionate, self-centered, aggressive, and potentially creative. Some sort of fulfillment, culmination, or revelation regarding your heart’s desire at the last New Moon on September 22nd occurs now. “Hey, what about me?” is the feeling of a Full Moon in the first house. You’re looking for a bit of attention right now as you feel that life has been too “other-oriented” recently. Try to avoid infantile outbursts. Instead, work on your self-assertiveness. You do count, and there are ways to assert your own needs without stepping on others’ toes. Finding a balance between autonomy and dependence is what this Full Moon is about for you. Your emotions are on your sleeve right now. It is a good time to put your needs first, but doing so with respect for others will take you further. Whether you can succeed as a leader is “tested” right now.
October 7-8 Monthly money and income peak. You’re looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don’t have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up nowthe discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.
October 9-11 The Sun trines Neptune, Mercury trines Uranus, and Mars sextiles Saturn. This combination of influences can produce epiphanies and dreamy ideals that may actually bear weight in the real world. We’re at the right place at the right time, probably because our hunches are more likely to be correct and we are “tuned in”. This is a most opportune time for self-improvement programs or efforts. This is an opportune time to attend meetings and other organized group activities, to communicate online, and to take part in activities involving computers, scientific projects, and metaphysics. Unexpected gains may be realized through such mediums. The intuition is strong, and insights seem to come from “out of the blue”. Original, creative ideas are easy to come by. Work takes on definite shape, and we can see results from our efforts. This gives us a sense of responsibility and a feeling of directedness and purposefulness. Your ruler in harmony with the Sun suggests vitality, leadership skills, and authority. Others recognize these qualities in you now. Work matters run especially smoothly, and a hidden source of income may come to light now. A long-distance communication could bring good news that furthers your personal interests.
October 13-16 Venus trines Neptune, Mars sextiles Pluto, the Sun sextiles Saturn, and Mercury squares Neptune. This creative combination inspires imagination that can effectively be put into action. Although it’s not the best time to sign on the dotted line, we can make significant headway on in-progress projects. This can be a dreamy time on a romantic level as well. With your ruler in harmonious contact to Venus and challenging aspect to Neptune, this could be a one step forward, two steps back period for you. While misunderstandings are likely, romantic and intimate matters soar. Although it’s best to wait a bit for major new initiatives, financial matters could skyrocket now, and you could receive returns from projects already underway. Overall, it’s a rewarding period, particularly when it comes to feeling supported and appreciated.
October 14-15 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.
October 17-20 Venus sextiles Saturn and Pluto, and the Sun sextiles Pluto. Yet another creative combination occurs now, and opportunities abound. This is a time when love matters and social relationships can be solidified; and when solid progress with finances can occur. It’s also a time when research brings rewards. We benefit now from strategy and keeping things to ourselves for the time being. Opportunities to find or renew something we had lost, and to gain some power are available now. It’s about watching and waiting–observing and collecting information before we make our move. For you, finances figure strongly. This is a time when employing financial strategy comes easily and works for the best. Gains may be realized, and you happily take on more responsibility on the job. It’s also an excellent period for working on a project that involves a lot of analysis, detail work, and perhaps tedious effort.
October 19-20 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it’s time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won’t work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it’s best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.
October 22 New Moon in late Libra in your solar eighth house affects you until the next New Moon. This New Moon is very creative and relationship-oriented. In your eighth house of intimacy, sexuality and intimate relationships come to the fore now and in the month ahead. This is a time of empowerment. It is a good time to focus on issues of intimacy as well as developing self-mastery skills. You may experience increased awareness of otherswhat makes them tickas well as your own internal motivations during this period. It is a time when intimacy and deep levels of sharing are heightened. It is also a favorable time to start a financial plan, savings plan, take out a loan or consolidate, and do work in accounting.
October 22-26 The Sun conjuncts Venus and Mars; Mercury conjuncts Jupiter and squares Saturn. This is a vital, dynamic time when we thrive on progress and activity, as well as lively, creative, and sexual energy. Our creativity and desire to make something beautiful is stimulated now. Social relations are impassioned, and perhaps demanding or extreme. We may also feel compelled to do something creative or artistic. In some cases this impulsive energy generates “love at first sight” scenarios or erotic interludes. Team work is more successful now. Some level of competition is present in our interactions, but it’s likely of a pleasurable and gently challenging kind. In terms of mental pursuits, we may have to make a choice in which both alternatives are desirable, but we must choose one at the expense of the other. For you, this is an active and creative period for financial, work, and intimate matters. You may reach new heights of intimacy in a partnership, for example. There may be some challenges encountered in this period, however, with regards to communications. The Jupiter-Saturn square, discussed above in the Overview, is highlighted now.
October 26-27 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you’re noticed for what you’ve done or haven’t done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don’t be afraid to show others exactly what you’re made of. You’re at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.
October 27-29 Mercury is stationary retrograde now, and will remain retrograde until November 17th–a cycle when rethinking matters is the name of the game. When Mercury is stationary, as it is now, it’s especially important to prepare for possible breakdowns in communication. Back up your computer, double-check your paperwork, and remember that you may not have all the necessary information to make big decisions for the time being. Avoid signing contracts or deals, as they may not work out as you expected, or they might need revision later. As well, both the Sun and Venus square Chiron, making it a less than ideal time to ask for favors and to make important purchases. For you, some doubts about your job or health could be a concern now. This is a red flag period for all–it’s best to avoid major changes now.

Overview. Until the 12th, the Sun highlights your work and health sector. During this cycle, you take more pride in the work you do and in your health routines than any other time of the year. You are sorting through the experiences of the last several months, separating the worthwhile from the worthless. This is a good time to build your skills, to get organized, and to attend to your health and wellbeing. Its a great time to make improvements to your regular routines. Your self-esteem and your ego are tied up in the work you do and in the services you give. Details are more important to you now. It’s time to bring order to your life by focusing on the little things that make up the whole. This cycle presents an opportunity to get rid of what doesn’t work in your life, while also discovering what does. You could seek distinction and strive towards perfection in your work. Efficiency should be your goal now. Your physical health, as well as the relationship between your body and your mind, are in focus.
From the 12th, the Sun illuminates your partnership sector. At this time of year, you have a greater need than usual to be with a partner. Bouncing ideas off someone helps you to better understand yourself. A partner provides a mirror for your own self-discovery. Now is the time to realize your own potential through a significant other. During this cycle, you focus on balancing your personal interests and objectives with your social life, or with those of a partner. The emphasis is on “us” rather than “me”. You need the energies, companionship, and support of other people, and they may also seek out your support and companionship. It’s important to include others rather than to go solo for the time being. However, bending too much to the will of another is not advised either. Social interactions of a personal, one-on-one kind are emphasized. Circumstances are such that your diplomacy skills are required. Your popularity is increasing, and is reinforced by your own ability to cooperate and harmonize. Your ego and pride are tied up in how you relate to others now. This may be an especially busy time for people who consult or work with clients one-on-one.
You experience a sudden and surprising urge for increased freedom and self-expression around the 7th, when a Lunar Eclipse occurs in your sign. You may make an emotional declaration that could even surprise you! Plans that are close to your heart reach fruition, and you are more excited and emotional than usual.
Pluto turns direct this month after an approximately 6-month retrograde period. Slowly but surely, issues surrounding travel, higher education, career, and reputation improve.
Two eclipses occur this month. One is a Lunar Eclipse on the 7th in the middle degree of Pisces. Its conjunction to Uranus brings a surprising turn of events. The other is a Solar Eclipse on the 22nd in the last degree of Virgo. The effects of eclipses stay with us for as long as six months, and they reveal main areas of focus for this half-year period. A general rule of thumb regarding eclipses is to avoid major decision-making in the week before an eclipse. This is because new information that could change our perspective often is revealed in the week after the eclipse. Therefore, major decision-making is best avoided in the first week of September as well as from the 15th to 22nd.
The Lunar Eclipse on the 7th stimulates your solar twelfth house. Surprises surrounding the compassionate care and attention you give others may be in store. Something that has been “in hiding” or brewing under the surface of things comes to light, or there is a significant fruition or culmination. Your sector of self-undoing, privacy, and dreams is involved. This could manifest, for example, as a situation that tests your faith and compassion, a culmination or fruition of a service you render, an event that calls on your urge for privacy and reflection, and other such possibilities. Finding a balance between practical concerns and spiritual or non-material matters is what this Lunar Eclipse is about for you.
The Solar Eclipse on the 22nd marks a new beginning for you. Flaws in an important system in your life are revealed and it’s time to start fresh. This eclipse occurs in your solar seventh house, suggesting a new approach to dealing with others is in order. A new set-up in existing partnerships or a new relationship altogether may be formed in the coming months, as well as a sense of renewal and reinvigoration with regards to your one-to-one relationship skills. This is a phase when you have an increased awareness of the need for someone significant to lean on or to rely on. You may also begin a consulting position or you could enjoy an increase in clients if you already work with people one-on-one.
Your ruler, Neptune, forms quite a few challenging aspects this month. Awkward inconjuncts to Mercury, the Sun, and Venus occur on the 5th, 9-10, and 19-20, marking the need for adjustments. You could find yourself at the mercy of others or other people’s schedules, likely due to your own guilt. Many of these struggles are likely to do with partnering issues. On the 5th, you could find yourself at odds with a partner, and attention to family and home is likely the subject. The same type of conflict can also occur on the 14th. On the 9-10, your own pride could be an issue. Feeling undermined, undervalued, or downright neglected is possible, and this theme could repeat itself on the 24-25. On the 19-20, the subject of shared resources could get you into a tizzy. The 20-29 is likely to be a period of emotional ups and downs. However, on the 23rd, you may be the recipient of good news and you could enhance your existing partnerships and relations with family members.
Jupiter squares Neptune, your ruler, from the 20-29, affecting your eighth and eleventh houses. We may be misled easily under this influence–by others, or by our own unrealistic expectations. An inability to focus on important and realistic details, some disorganization, and extravagance or exaggeration, is likely now. You may be challenged to defend your ideals. Giving too much of your time and/or resources to others may be an issue now, and could leave you feeling discouraged if others are not appreciating your efforts. This may play out with co-workers, a boss, a business associate, a friend or with joint finances. Be careful that you are not deceived. As well, avoid financial speculation during this period and something that appears too good to be true with regards to financial support from others or joint finances.
Personal finances will revolve around others’ resources for you this month. Less favorable days for financial initiatives include the 5-8, 13-16, and 25-27.
Partnership matters are in big focus this month. An opportunity to enhance or attract a serious partnership occurs on the 1-3, 23, 25, and 27-28, when your negotiating skills are better than usual.
Better times to schedule job interviews or health appointments, and for success and happiness on the job, occur on the 1st and 6-7. A face-off with a co-worker or working partner could occur on the 4-5. Less favorable days for these matters include the 4-5, 9-10, 16-17, 24-25, and 28-29. Career matters are picking up this month, although there can be some confusion around the 20-29 when you could question whether it’s the right career for you, and some tension is possible around the 12th and 24-26–these are unfavorable periods for asking for a raise, throwing an office party, or going on job interviews! However, two very strong periods for recognition and potential advancement occur on the 3rd, 6-7, and 18-19.
Venus journeys through your solar sixth house until the 22nd. A harmonious atmosphere is required if you are to be productive in your place or line of work during this cycle. You could find that your talents or specialized skills are in popular demand now. Co-workers may provide an outlet for social enjoyment and relaxation. Your friendly, genial attitude on the job (or at the gym!) will draw attention and possibly even loving feelings. You are more inclined to want to be involved in cooperative work than usual. Contacts with or through the affairs of women may have an affect on your job. Romantic and social activities may revolve around your working environment. Some laziness is possible now, as you tend to associate pleasure with work. Perhaps you are socializing more than usual on the job. You have good team spirit during this cycle, and you are more tactful and obliging with your co-workers. You are less inclined to fall in love for the sake of love itself during this cycle. Your tendency is to consider whether it is clever to do so! You are most successful doing tasks that involve cooperation and team harmony, or the personal, human side of things.
Venus moves through your solar seventh house from the 22nd. You may enjoy many social functions during this cycle. People are attracted to your gracious, friendly, and obliging manner, which tends to draw daily contacts with others. Special attention to and from a partner is in focus, and flattery will get you everywhere if you use it wisely. Set aside some private time when no one else can get in the way of the feelings you want to share. Give to a partner exactly what you would like to receive just now. It’s not about you right now–it’s about someone else close, and the sweeter your attentions, the more delicious your rewards will be! Smoothing out your close personal relationships is what makes you happy during this cycle. You have a greater need than usual for contact and exchange with an intimate partner. If single, you are more willing than normal to enter into a committed relationships. In general, you are adaptable when it comes to your affections.
Mercury, the planet of communication, activates your solar sixth house until the 7th. Others tend to respect your expertise and patience in handling detailed tasks during this cycle. No matter what kind of work you do, you have the knack of coming across with clarity and understanding. Jobs that offer a variety of tasks are more apt to hold your attention at this time–you may even juggle more than one line of work at once. Remember that your state of mind can affect your physical condition more so than usual now, so always maintain a positive attitude and avoid undue worry and stress. Your mental and communicative abilities will largely be applied to acquiring specialized skills or knowledge for professional use, and much of your thinking is directed towards how you can organize your daily activities. Your work may demand an intellectual quality of mind, analytical ability, and attention to detail. There is a concern for personal health, hygiene, organization, and polite speech during this cycle. The pace of your work environment is quickened, with lots of ideas and new information coming in. You may learn a skill or piece of technical information that assists your work performance. This is a good time for getting rid of unwanted habits and replacing them with healthier ones. Do your best to balance work with rest. Also, try to avoid criticizing others unwittingly in your attempts to improve your environment or your working conditions.
Chatty Mercury is in your partnership sector from the 7-25. You may be called upon to act as a mediator during this cycle as others recognize your strong sense of justice and fair play. You will not pass judgment on others too quickly, as you tend to weigh the pros and cons of each issue. At times you may experience difficulty reaching decisions when it comes to personal affairs. It is not lack of ability that holds you back, but rather the importance of making the right decision. There is a strong desire to cooperate and communicate with others now. When discussions and exchange of ideas and thoughts are not forthcoming, it can greatly disturb your sense of balance. You are attracted to people who you feel are interested in life and who are good conversationalists. You feel comfortable relating with those you have a past history with. Your own thoughts become clearer through dialogue. You carefully weigh the pros and cons, and are more willing than usual to listen to other people’s point of view. You may be doing public relations work, counseling, or arbitration during this cycle. There is a lot of emphasis on communications with partners and best friends at this time. You can use the power of words to give counsel to other people, or to smooth over differences. You know how to use the art of diplomacy and you can appreciate opposing viewpoints even if you don’t necessarily agree with them during this period.
Mercury moves through your eighth house from the 25th. Your mental and communicative abilities will largely be applied to the growth and development of the mind. Much of your knowledge may be gained through intuitive means rather than the study of books at this time. There is an aptitude for business and other financial dealings. Your mental disposition is ideally suited to work of an investigative nature, research, psychotherapy, psychiatry, or detective work. Focus the light of understanding and honest communication on emotionally-charged topics such as sexuality and intimacy, feelings about the power dynamics in your partnerships, and money you share with significant others. You can have a more objective and fair view of such things now, and could clarify any long-standing issues related to any of this. On a practical level, it is the time to handle joint finances, material assets or property you hold in common with another, and matters pertaining to inheritances, taxes, or commercial interests.
Mars heats up your partnership sector all month. Partnerships may suffer from ego conflicts, or adversaries may be challenging. Use this energy to work cooperatively on relationship problems. You may even find that you seem to need someone’s help in order to do what you want to do during this cycle. Relationships are vivacious and dynamic during this period. When a difference arises, you are quick to settle it, and have little patience for sweeping matters under the rug. Your close personal relationships are lively during this cycle–full of conflicts and resolutions or reconciliations. Energetic and dynamic types of individuals could enter your life during this cycle. For some women, new relationships with men occur during this transit.
The ball isn’t necessarily in your court this month, but it will come back to you soon enough. This is a time when you need to recognize and support other people in your life more than usual, and your success at balancing your needs for personal gratification with the needs of other people in your life will determine the success of the months ahead of you. You can make great strides towards improving your relations with others this month.
Highlights:
August 31-September 1 Venus trines Pluto and the Sun conjuncts Mercury. A conversation or communication with a partner (or potential partner) today could open the doors to a new opportunity. Use diplomacy and tact, and truly listen to what others are saying now. This is an excellent day for boosting your position on the job.
September 2-3 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you’re noticed for what you’ve done or haven’t done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don’t be afraid to show others exactly what you’re made of. You’re at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.
September 3-7 The Sun and Mercury activate the Jupiter-Uranus trine. Both oppose Uranus and sextile Jupiter. Opportunities are present, but not without a struggle. Face-offs can occur now, as well as brazen assertions of independence. Sudden events and surprising news are in store. This can be a time of great insight or revelations–a time when you see the light and are jolted out of your usual (or automatic) mode of thinking and living. New perceptions come intuitively now.
September 7 Full Moon in Pisces in your solar twelfth house. This is a potent Full Moon–a Lunar Eclipse–that can affect us for months after it occurs. Circumstances are such that you have an overwhelming need to be alone. You’ve been busy with all sorts of everyday activities, deeply involved in your work and routines. It’s time to balance your life with some down timeotherwise, you simply don’t feel whole. Issues come to light that originate from deep within. It’s an excellent time to get in touch with what’s been brewing beneath the surface. A secret may be revealed.
September 8-9 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It’s all about you now, so it’s time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.
September 9-12 Mercury squares Pluto, and the Sun and Mars form tense aspects with Neptune. Watch for sarcastic speech and suspiciousness, especially with or from a close partner or family member, as it can backfire. Also watch for confusion or self-deception. Feeling misunderstood and challenged is possible now. Do your best not to stress yourself out. Your pride could be hurt on the job. A flurry of activity with finances–perhaps even a minor financial crisis–could bother you now. It’s challenging to see clearly at this time, so do your best to avoid signing on the dotted line.
September 10-11 Monthly money and income peak. You’re looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don’t have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up nowthe discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.
September 15-17 Mercury-Mars conjunction is semi-square Saturn, the Sun squares Pluto, and Venus opposes Uranus. This is very potent, and potentially disruptive, energy! Although energy is brought to our communications, especially regarding personal relationships, we must be conscious of the tendency to be overly critical, sarcastic, or forceful with what we say and how we say it. We are likely to come to a very clear, definite decision at this time and to let others know exactly what we want, and we have no qualms about stirring up controversy in defense of our ideas or plans! Our comments may be particularly loaded, and discussions could easily escalate into arguments. Sudden or impulsive attractions to people and to material items that later prove to be unappealing occur now. This is not a good time to start a new relationship nor for any significant financial undertaking. We may not see eye to eye with our loved ones, and we might be taken off guard by unexpected events. It’s wise to hold off on decision-making with regards to finances and relationships. However, if we can separate rebellion from a sincere need for change, we might open ourselves up to new ways of dealing with others. We might find ourselves particularly impatient with rules. You may experience a powerful and possibly frustrating conversation or communication with a partner–watch for harsh words. Power plays may be experienced now, and likely involve close partnerships. Unexpected circumstances on the job or regarding services you render are also possible now.
September 16-17 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.
September 18-19 Venus sextiles Jupiter. We are big-hearted and our feelings are expansive under this influence. This is a sociable, perhaps lazy and self-indulgent, time. We easily find meaning in our social connections. We are more open and trusting of friends and lovers. Integrity and loyalty are favored. This is a favorable influence for winning people’s trust, healthy speculation, advertising, publishing, finances, and travel. For you, this is a strong period for work and health matters, job interviews, applications for loans and mortgages, shared resources and finances, asking for support from others, and presenting your ideas. This is also a good time for good will and charm on the job.
September 22 New Moon (Solar Eclipse) in late Virgo in your solar seventh house affects you until the next New Moon. This New Moon is especially potent because it is a Solar Eclipse. Its energy is with you for the next six months. Negotiations and diplomacy are highlighted during this period, as it is a favorable time to begin new relationships or to re-define existing ones. Issues of sharing and partnership come to the fore. Increased awareness of the need for someone significant to lean on or to rely on is often associated with this position. Working on, or resolving to work on, relationships that are mutually supportive is a good idea at this time. If you find yourself sensitive to the feeling of lacking support from partners, this may be a good time to ask yourself how companionable you are, and work on developing yourself in this area of life. You might just find that this is a period when you are at your most gracious. It is also a good time to make contacts and to make something public.
September 22-23 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it’s time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won’t work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it’s best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.
September 23 Mercury trine Neptune. Imagination and intuition run high, and are involved in decisions made today. We are in the right place at the right time. We are inspired and able to inspire others with our words. This influence favors photography, the arts, poetry, fiction, spirituality, advertising, and promotion. For you, this is an excellent period for all forms of communication. Your intuition is serving you especially well, and others are finding you most eloquent. It’s a good time to present your ideas. This is also a strong period for enhancing or attracting a close partnership, for family and domestic matters, and for joint finances.
September 24-26 Venus squares Pluto, Jupiter squares Neptune (discussed in the Overview, above) and Mercury sextiles Saturn. Intense emotions and clashes over personal values are in store now. However, it’s a good time to get organized and to do some solid work that will have benefits down the road. Although this is not a time for lucky breaks, work matters should run well, and you have a good chance of strengthening relationships with a close partner or family member.
September 27-29 Mercury sextiles Pluto and sesquiquadrates Uranus; the Sun semi-squares Saturn and trines Chiron. Conflicts and blockages encountered now can lead to improved circumstances, healing, and a renewed sense of purpose. A truth may come to light now, or something from the past retrieved or found. Conversations are deeper and more sincere. Constructive strategies formulated now have long-term benefits. However, listen to your intuition in addition to your sense of reason.
September 29-30 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you’re noticed for what you’ve done or haven’t done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don’t be afraid to show others exactly what you’re made of. You’re at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.

Pisces (Born March 12 to 20)
AND Pisces Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Pisces:
August 2006: Pisces Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
August
Overview. Until the 12th, the Sun illuminates your romance and pleasure sector. This is the time of year when you are ready to perform and to express yourself creatively. This is a very playful cycle, when you are inspired creatively and emotionally. After a period of self-protectiveness, you are now more spontaneous and more willing to take risks. You take more pride than usual in your creations, your love affairs, your children, and your hobbies. Pleasure and amusement play an important role in your search for freedom of self-expression now. Show off your best colors now. You want others to take notice, and you are more sensitive to whether others appreciate you. More than any time of the year, this is the cycle in which you focus on having fun, enjoying romance, and expressing yourself creatively. Your hobbies, leisure time, moments spent with children, gaming time, and so forth, all come into focus at this time of year. This is a cycle in which you find joy in expressing who you are–when your “inner child” comes out to play. This is a time when you are more flirtatious than usual, and when you might take a few risks in life–not only gambling with games but with life itself. You might be a bit of a showman at this time. You are likely feeling good in general, and you tend to spread the joy.
From the 12th, the Sun shines its light on your work and health sector. You take more pride in the work you do and in your health routines than any other time of the year. You are sorting through the experiences of the last several months, separating the worthwhile from the worthless. This is a good time to build your skills, to get organized, and to attend to your health and wellbeing. Its a great time to make improvements to your regular routines. Your self-esteem and your ego are tied up in the work you do and in the services you give. You may be drawn into some form of service that will bring deep personal satisfaction. At this time, you seek perfection and distinction in your work and this quality bring you a more responsible position. This cycle presents an opportunity to get rid of what doesn’t work in your life, while also discovering what does. More than any time of the year, you are conscious of your mental and physical health, daily routines, everyday working life, and your working methods. If your regular routine doesn’t provide you satisfaction now, you need to look at where you can make improvements without obsessing over, or getting bogged down with, details.
Mercury picks up speed after a period of retrogradation in July. Problems involving romance, speculation, entertainment, children, partnership, and family or home issues are resolved for the most part early this month, particularly after the 4th. You can become more confident about decision-making with regards to love affairs, children, property and home issues, family affairs, and partnerships or contracts.
While pleasure and recreation are your focus in the first half of the month, work and health are the major arenas of your life that are in focus in the second half. This month, youre challenged to separate fact from fiction, particularly with regards to a love affair or job situation. Feeling blocked by others feels real but is actually temporary. If youve been on the fence about pursuing a love interest, the last week of August is a good time to do so. You may be inspired to create better health habits, or to begin a new diet or fitness regimen.
August is a heavy, active month for your ruler, Neptune. Neptune opposes heavyweight Saturn, and forms three oppositions this month: to the Sun, Mercury, and then Venus. In many areas of your life, you are now dealing with culminations. On the 6-7 (as well as at the time of the Full Moon on the 9th), work conditions or issues come to a head. Perhaps you’re completing one job or project and moving on, or a job situation that has been building for some time reaches a head and something has to be done about it. Alternatively, this could play out with your health. A new discovery about your health, or a realization that you have to take attention to your health in your hands, can come now. You could also cement an important job, join a gym, or get news from the doctor. Pressures that have been building surface now and need to be dealt with. Around the 20th, similar events surface surrounding close partnerships. You may have been feeling some pressure from a partner or family member, and now is the time when you have to confront it and begin to deal with it. You may also receive important information today. Intimate and personal matters are brought up on the 26-27. Creative projects or romantic affairs need your attention.
Take charge of your health on the 6-7, and focus on new health regimes. As well, do what you can to improve your working conditions this month, or the cosmos will force you to do it. Pressures on the job are getting to you this month, and it’s time to formulate a plan for dealing with the responsibilities, but also for taking time to tend to your spiritual growth and needs for relaxation and peace of mind. Treat whatever issues that pop up for you in August as a heads-up rather than a setback.
Now for the good stuff: your co-ruler, Jupiter, trines electric Uranus in the last week of the month. You may find opportunities to enhance your happiness and luck through joint finances, investment, business dealings, or your marriage partner. This is an opportunity period for developing skill in business, developing a flair for handling money, and enhancing your social position.
Tricky days for finances occur on the 1-6, 12-14, 19-21, 23-25, and 28-30. Avoid speculation or new financial initiatives on these days. Partners may be especially involved with your own financial picture this month. The 12-14 is a red-flag period for you in terms of finances as well as partnerships. Opposition to your plans is likely, and some kind of disruption is probable. Expect the unexpected. The 28-30 could involve some minor loss or problem monetizing a project. You may discover that you don’t have enough money for a vacation, or that you spent far more than you had hoped on one. An excellent period for your personal finances occur on the 7-9, when you could see gains, particularly from your business or career, and even an in-law or grandparent. The 31st is also a good day for finances, and on the 24th, a partner could gain money.
Watch for an important heads-up around the 9th with regards to love affairs. Some tensions and adjustments are necessary in the first week of the month. A new beginning around the 23rd breathes some fresh air into your partnerships. The 24th and 31st are excellent days for you to attract a committed relationship, or to enhance an existing one.
Excellent days for scheduling job interviews, joining a gym, or for scheduling health appointments and medical visits occur on the 16-17 and the 31st. On the 9th, you need to face a few realities about your job or your state of health. It could be a tricky time, but ultimately liberating. Perhaps you realize that your job is less than ideal, for example, but the realization that you need to do it right comes at the same time. Excellent career prospects and opportunities for advancement and recognition occur on the 7-8 and in the last week of the month.
This month, Saturn opposes Neptune across your fifth and eleventh house axis. This tricky opposition is activated by the Full Moon on the 9th, by Mercury on the 20-21, and by Venus on the 26-27. You experience a clash between reality and your ideals and dreams, particularly with regards to your friendships, love affairs, children, and creative projects. You may become very demanding and critical of others, particularly lovers, children, and friends—or, more likely, they are demanding of you. Painful memories may surface that need to be dealt with, and fears and insecurities may not be based on realistic expectations. Since you set your goals for success far out of reach these days, you are likely to “fail” (at least in your eyes) during this time. It is difficult for you to separate fact from fiction, and you may feel that you are going through a “reality shift.” Fears and anxieties may be overwhelming at times, but remember that things are certainly not as bad as they seem. There can be a feeling of being drained by the demands (or even the lack of demands) of others, or frustrated because your love affairs, hobbies, or children demand more definition and structure, and you are not clear in terms of what you want. This feeling of being drained is experienced by all, but for you, your romantic affairs, leisure time, hobbies, creative projects, and children are the likely arenas where this influence will play out. This can also be an important month for your friendships and your sense of style and self-expression, also coming under the rule of Saturn and Neptune. Burdens, responsibilities, separations, or the need to mature quickly are things you are dealing with now in these life departments. The best way to handle this is to develop a workable plan for tending to your needs for recreation and fun. Maturation is in order, and if you can think in terms of “building” slowly but surely, you will feel more grounded and realistic.
Jupiter trines Uranus in the last week of August. This transit is known for being lucky, and always brings something unexpected. You could have new opportunities presented to you, seemingly from out of nowhere, such as a chance to travel or for higher learning, a business or job opportunity, a sudden windfall, money from the blue, or a chance meeting with someone who opens your mind or contributes to your success. A chance to get away from it all may be part of the picture. Whatever it is, it will require immediate action on your part and it will probably be a wild departure from your norm. You may come up with innovative ideas that can be put into practice at a later time. You may find luck, ease of working conditions, and general good fortune coming through your social, business, and professional life. Honors, favors from superiors, public appointments, esteem and eventual social and financial success are all possible now.
Romantic Venus warms your romance and pleasure sector from the 4-29. During this cycle, the areas of life where you are most likely to express your social, romantic, and artistic qualities are through a genuine love of life, especially in romantic attachments, hobbies, personal pleasures, and social interests. Your infectious love of life and noble nature ensures social popularity, although, at times, you can be rather theatrical in order to hog the spotlight! You may be more inclined to show off your partner during this cycle. Appreciation of the arts is indicated. There is some predisposition to gambling or other forms of financial speculation now. You are feeling inspired creatively and romantically and you express your loving feelings quite openly now. Creative self-expression of any kind is favored at this time. You will also thoroughly enjoy artistic, musical, or cultural events and activities, especially in the company of a loved one. At this time, you instinctively know how to place yourself in the best light in order to make a good impression on others. Any love affair begun now will be characterized by good cheer, having fun, and a fair share of emotional drama!
Mercury enlivens your romance and pleasure sector (along with Venus) until the 22nd. Your mental and communicative abilities will largely be applied to personal issues during this cycle. Although very intelligent, your mind will often dwell on pleasures, hobbies, lovemaking, and amusements; you especially enjoy games requiring mental competition now. You have a deep need for mental pleasure and intellectual stimulation. Therefore, your friends and romantic partner are best appreciated now if they are intellectual types. You’re more willing to take risks on a mental level now, so take advantage of the increased spontaneity and creativity that comes with this position.
Chatty Mercury is in your work and health sector from the 22nd forward. Your mental and communicative abilities will largely be applied to acquiring specialized skills or knowledge for professional use, and much of your thinking is directed towards how you can organize your daily activities. Your work may demand an intellectual quality of mind, analytical ability, and attention to detail. There is a concern for personal health, hygiene, organization, and polite speech during this cycle. The pace of your work environment is quickened, with lots of ideas and new information coming in. You may learn a skill or piece of technical information that assists your work performance. This is a good time for getting rid of unwanted habits and replacing them with healthier ones. Do your best to balance work with rest. Also, try to avoid criticizing others unwittingly in your attempts to improve your environment or your working conditions.
Mars moves through your work, health, and service sector until the 23rd. With Mars here, your will to action is applied in ‘putting your own house into order’, as well as health and work matters generally. You feel that your survival depends on the level of work that you’re able to accomplish during this cycle! Co-workers can be highly competitive during this cycle, and you may have to draw heavily on your own survival instincts in the workplace. It’s probably better if others leave you to your work instead of interfering. A hard-driving or competitive atmosphere at work can either inspire your strongest efforts or create dissonance with the people you work with, especially around the 12-14. It is much better for you to be able to follow your own initiative and to work according to your own desires and rhythms; you can get a lot done this way.
Mars journeys through your partnership sector from the 7th. Although this transit continues into September and part of October, the drama of this position is strongest from August 23rd-September 8th, when Mars opposes your Sun. You may instigate, aggravate, or stir up trouble either without realizing it (by being too loud, overstepping others’ boundaries, or making assumptions), or even on purpose. You could use this abundance of energy for accomplishment, if you so choose. Tone down aggressive tendencies as much as possible. You can be aggressive and forceful in intimate relationships, or your partner may be displaying these traits. It is important to be restrained in all dealings with associates, business partners, and intimate partners. If you are too aggressive or dominant now, there is danger of trouble and loss through public opposition, unpopularity, damaged relationships, or even litigation in rare cases. This cycle tests your ability to resolve interpersonal conflicts. Remember that anger is often a mask for hurt feelings. There’s bound to be a lot of friction or push and pull as you strive to balance your style and agenda with that of another.
The best period of the month overall is from the 1-12, when Mercury and Venus support your Sun from the fifth house. This is a rather easy time to get your point across in a charming manner.
July 25 New Moon in Leo in your solar fifth house affects you until the next New Moon. Creative self-expression comes under the realm of the fifth house, and a New Moon occurring here sparks the creative juices. Romantic inclinations are also highlighted, as are any kind of celebratory, playful, and just-for-fun endeavors. You will be especially aware of your need for approval and feedback from others, deriving pleasure from the ways your own creativity impact the world around you. This can be a passionate time for you, and a time when you might feel more bold than usual. If you are feeling good about yourself, and especially if you have taken advantage of the time for re-building of confidence that the New Moon in the fourth house brought, you will fairly radiate during this expressive period.
July 26-27 Venus trines Jupiter. Under this influence, good humor, good will, strong morals, and a healthy sense of responsibility all contribute to a happy time. We are able to achieve growth through good feelings now. You may receive great news or praise, and increases may be seen from work.
July 27-29 Mercury is stationary direct. When Mercury is stationary, as it is now, it’s especially important to prepare for possible breakdowns in communication. Back up your computer, double-check your paperwork, and remember that you may not have all the necessary information to make big decisions for the time being. Avoid signing contracts or deals, as they may not work out as you expected, or might need revision later. As Mercury regains speed in the next week, improvements will be seen, but you may want to hold off on new deals until after August 4th.
July 29-30 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it’s time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won’t work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it’s best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.
July 30-31 Venus trines Uranus. Romantic surprises. Under this influence, we lose our fear of taking risks and we happily embrace all that is new, unusual, and out-of-the-ordinary with regards to romantic involvements as well as financial undertakings. We are ready to experiment, but not necessarily ready to commit. Creative inspiration can be had now. We have an offbeat, pleasant attitude and we are more willing to socialize. This is a good time for financial undertakings involving electronics, technology, the internet, metaphysics, and the arts, as well as for group activities.
August 1-2 Our egos may be a bit out of control with the Sun in tense aspect to Jupiter and Pluto. Expansion is possible if we can keep our egos in check! In your case, ego trips and conflicts on the job are very likely now. Resist the temptation to overstate your feelings or to jump to dramatic conclusions.
August 3-5 Awkward aspects involving Venus-Neptune, Mercury-Pluto, and Sun-Uranus suggest some adjustments are necessary. This is a time when we tend to second-guess, re-think, and temporarily lose our faith in people. This could be a challenging period for your close partnerships in particular, as well as family relations (disappointments are possible), and work or health matters. You may find yourself at odds with a sibling, neighbor, or partner. You could also temporarily question whether your partner values the same things as you do, or if you are getting satisfaction from your work. Remember that your frustrations could only be a projection of your own insecurities and doubts. Strive to be more objective.
August 5-6 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you’re noticed for what you’ve done or haven’t done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don’t be afraid to show others exactly what you’re made of. You’re at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.
August 6-9 The Sun aligns with Saturn in Leo, and Mars forms a harmonious aspect with Jupiter. We become aware of increased responsibilities in our careers, love affairs, or family life. Perhaps we recognize the dangers of stress and overwork. We have a chance to become more mature, goal-oriented, and responsible. This can be a good time to begin a cycle in which we build a business, especially a creative one, or re-commit to a long-term project. Decisive action comes naturally now. We possess willpower, verve, and energy that we can direct toward achieving our goals. We want to branch out and take on more challenges. Positive yet realistic attitudes create winning situations now. A spirit of friendly competition prevails, as well as the desire to take beneficial action. For you, circumstances are such that you become acutely aware of a maturation process with regards to how you handle your work, daily routines, health, working relationships, children, and love affairs. You are required to come up with something solid now in terms of your level of commitment to your work or to your daily and health routines, or to a lover. You may be required to call upon your more responsible side in order to deal with a work or love matter. Issues surrounding your friendships or group associations may be part of the picture. Your personal income may get a boost. Your career may enjoy a healthy injection of adventure and verve.
August 9 Full Moon in Aquarius in your solar eleventh house. This Full Moon highlights a Saturn-Neptune opposition, bringing into our awareness a clash between our ideals and reality. Challenges in your love life, with children, or with friends may come to light, and you may be feeling drained by the needs of those concerned. Striking a balance is in order, but getting to that medium ground may be a bit of a struggle. You’ve been focusing on what brings you pleasureyour hobbies, romantic activities, and so forth. Now you realize that the role you play in others’ lives (as a spouse, parent, friend) is an important element in your overall happiness. You’re looking for validation from friends and group activities now.
August 9-13 Uranus is in hard aspect to Mercury, Venus, and Mars, while the Sun opposes Neptune. Infatuations are more likely now–with people, things, and ideas. The desire for something new and exotic–something that breaks the routine–is strong during this period. Unusual attractions (to people and things) can have us acting on a whim. We may deal with freedom versus closeness issues in our relationships. We have a tendency to take risks, to feel restless, and to act on sudden impulses without considering consequences. We assert our wills and individuality powerfully, and we are willing to fight for freedom. There may be changes in work schedules, or life’s circumstances could challenge us in such a way that we need to change our goals or actions. Some disappointments or disillusionments are also possible now. The demands made upon you at work could strain you and make you want to escape. You could also clash with a close partner now. Avoid confrontations with your partner, who could be having a hard time with your recent show of independence; and also take care that what you write or say doesn’t cause controversy or backlash.
August 11-12 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It’s all about you now, so it’s time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.
August 13-14 Monthly money and income peak. You’re looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don’t have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up nowthe discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.
August 16-17 The Sun trines Pluto, and we are able to get to the bottom of things. We are more decisive than usual, and our abilities to concentrate and focus help us achieve what we set out to do. This is a very positive aspect for starting a money-making endeavor or a new project. Research brings rewards. We benefit now from strategy and keeping things to ourselves for the time being. Opportunities to find or renew something we had lost, and to gain some power are available now. This energy urges you to express the “real you” with confidence, but also with discretion. You don’t need to put all of your cards on the table just now. Lessons from your past could boost your working relationships now and into the future. This is an excellent period for you to get recognition on the job, to discover something that enhances your health, and to schedule a job interview. Headway could be made in your career now.
August 20-21 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.
August 19-21 Mercury conjuncts Saturn, quincunxes Uranus, and opposes Neptune; Venus forms a tense aspect with Pluto. This is a time when you are inclined to sort out your thoughts and re-think your strategies. Do just that, and avoid speaking out prematurely. You are required to show your responsible side, even if you are feeling a bit disappointed, or even disillusioned, with your life just now. This is a time when you need to re-formulate life strategies. It’s probably wise not to believe everything you hear now, as some important information may be omitted. Some tensions on the job are possible now. In general, others seem to be misunderstanding you. You could be at war with a partner over a serious issue. You may also have a chance to cement a love affair, although disillusionments may be part of the picture.
August 22-23 Venus squares Jupiter. Use caution with your finances and your heart. If something seems too good to be true, it may very well be at this time! Feelings of elation in love or with regards to the pleasures of life can lead us to overdo, overindulge, overspend, and overstate our feelings. We might take great strides to get noticed. Avoid hasty (or haughty!) decisions, and steer clear of impulsive buying. Take a letter, email, or other form of communication with a grain of salt.
August 23 New Moon in Virgo in your solar sixth house affects you until the next New Moon. The New Moon in the sixth house heralds a time when new diet regimes, healthy routines, and satisfying work schedules can be successfully initiated. It is a time of taking care of business, handling details, and increasing your efficiency by re-organizing or simply by working enthusiastically at tasks that help you get caught up in your work. It is also a good time for analysis of any sort, as critical thinking is now at its peak. This period is marked by a desire to sort things out, but also to be useful.
August 24 Mercury trines Pluto, and we stand to gain enormous insight into problems, projects, and people! Conversations today could help you solve nagging problems in your life and allow you to move forward. Good news about your job may be forthcoming today. This is an excellent day for strengthening a close partnership or family relationship.
August 25-26 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it’s time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won’t work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it’s best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.
August 26-27 Venus conjuncts Saturn and opposes Neptune. Relationships are tricky and perhaps disappointing for the time being. We might want a commitment while a significant other remains evasive and hard to pin down–or vice versa. This is a time when your work load could be heavy, and your job or employer demands something concrete from you. His or her problems or seriousness affect you strongly. Ambiguities concerning your own spiritual direction, however, may have you feeling anxious, but there’s no better time than now to formulate realistic plans for improving your commitments. You could be feeling underappreciated or even financially drained.
August 28-30 Mars squares Pluto and Jupiter trines Uranus. This is a time of fun surprises and interesting opportunities. For you, it’s reward time! You may have new opportunities presented to you, seemingly from out of nowhere, such as a career opportunity, financial boost, or a chance meeting with someone who contributes to your success. Whatever it is, it will require immediate action on your part and it will probably be a wild departure from your norm. You are bound to come up with innovative ideas that can be put into practice at a later time. However, a power struggle with a close partner or over a financial or business matter could have you squirming. Do your best to let things flow naturally or you’ll only serve to stress yourself out, when the truth is, this is an opportunity period for you.
August 31-September 1 Venus trines Pluto and the Sun conjuncts Mercury. A conversation or communication with a partner (or potential partner) today could open the doors to a new opportunity. Use diplomacy and tact, and truly listen to what others are saying now. This is an excellent day for boosting your position on the job.

July 2006: Pisces Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
July
Overview. Until the 12th, the Sun brings your home and family sector into focus. You are less concerned about your role in the outer world or your place in society now. Instead, you focus on what sustains you–whatever it is you call home. Your foundation, your roots, your past–all things from which you gather sustenance are what matter most to you during this cycle. Your ego is tied up in how comfortable your domestic life is. This is a time to gather emotional strength and security. You may be especially proud of your family and of your home, and if things aren’t working well, you are likely to do whatever you can to rebuild your pride. You may be a little introverted for the time being, and that’s just fine. Getting in touch with your inner world, and analyzing just how harmonious the connection between your inner and outer worlds is, is the focus.
From the 12th, the Sun illuminates your pleasure and romance sector. More than any time of the year, this is the cycle in which you focus on having fun, enjoying romance, and expressing yourself creatively. Your hobbies, leisure time, moments spent with children, gaming time, and so forth, all come into focus at this time of year. This is a cycle in which you find joy in expressing who you are–when your “inner child” comes out to play. This is a time when you are more flirtatious than usual, and when you might take a few risks in life–not only gambling with games but with life itself. You might be a bit of a showman at this time. You are likely feeling good in general, and you tend to spread the joy.
The Mercury retrograde cycle from the 4-28 affects your fifth house of romance, speculation, entertainment, and children. Arguments with a lover may be blown out of proportion. Both you and your lover should avoid harping on the words used and try to get to the meaning behind the words instead. Speculation and gambling are not advised right now. It will be important to avoid signing any contracts or making important partnership or family/home decisions.
Jupiter goes direct on the 6th. For you, this suggests that matters pertaining to joint resources, intimacy, self-mastery, career, and reputation are beginning to show signs of moving forward after a period of stagnation. The first signs of resolution for these issues will be with you this month. You are likely to project confidence through a more competent, accomplished, and spiritually centered demeanor.
Youre pouring a lot of energy into pleasure and love relationships this month. A partner may be re-considering things, which could have you on your toes. However, you have charm working on your side from the 12-22. You come across swimmingly from the 26-31, and love is in the air. Be cautious with your pocketbook on the 4th-6th.
Your ruler, Neptune, trines Venus on the 9-10–an excellent period for you when you may attract love (or money), and when you feel especially appreciated and valued. The 4-6 could be a challenging period for you when you encounter opposition, particularly on the job. You may be feeling blocked, restless, and impatient. The 21-22 is a brief period when you are feeling undervalued or unappreciated.
Some challenges with money can occur around the 4-6. However, excellent days for financial matters occur on the 13-16. Misunderstandings with a lover are possible this month, particularly around the 11th, but you can successfully use your charm and negotiation skills to smooth over differences. Close personal relationships, including marriage or other committed partnerships, benefit most on the 28-31, when the air is cleared and things seem to be moving forward. The biggest challenges to close personal relationships this month occur on the 9-12, when erratic behavior is a factor, and the 18-20, when manipulation or mind games may be part of the picture.
Venus completes her movement through your communications sector in the first 10 days of the month. During that period, you are most attracted to wit, cheerfulness, and verbal rapport. You are especially good at mediating conflicts. Venus journeys through your home and family sector from the 10th. What you are most attracted to now are the depths of the soul, your roots, the home, and a feeling of security. You are more nurturing in your love relationships, and you take whatever steps that are necessary to create a peaceful and pleasant environment in your home and with family members. You could experience strong emotional romanticism at this time, and what touches you is what lies below the surface. You feel most loved when you are taken care of and when you feel included–like you belong. As well, if you are able to express your deepest feelings with a partner, you are at your most satisfied. You are seeking inner peace during this cycle, but you could be feeling rather needy or dependent now.
Mars, the planet of action, moves through your solar sixth house from the 6th, and you have more energy at your disposal for work and fitness or other health routines. You are bound to take a head-on, direct approach to organizing your life and with regards to your working methods. Impatience with daily routines is also possible, particularly around the 4-6. You may be inclined to compete with others on a professional level, or at least to want to dominate or work solo. You are not in the mood to take orders just now! This period doesn’t favor teamwork. Avoid the tendency to argue with co-workers by doing whatever you can to work independently. You work with energy, impatience, and speed during this cycle. It’s a good time to focus on a fitness routine.
The most rewarding period of the month is likely to be from the 12-22, when the transiting Sun trines your own Sun. You are feeling especially romantic and/or creative, and you feel energetically supported by those around you.
Highlights:
June 25 New Moon in Cancer in your solar fourth house affects you until the next New Moon. Home and family may be a focus during this phase. On a personal, developmental level, this is a time to not only listen to what is in your gut, but to pay homage to those feelings! What makes you feel safe and secure? This is the time to explore and develop a sense of inner security. Although the fourth house is associated with the home, it is an angular, cardinal house that stirs up activity. This is a time of re-organization and heightened awareness of your roots, issues of intimacy and vulnerability, and it’s an excellent time to come in touch with your feelings and needs. Focusing on your support system and the manner in which you support others is also probable. This is a good time to make long-range plans for the future, to do any type of re-organizing or even re-modeling of the home or home environment, and for family-related activities.
June 25-26 Your ruler, Neptune, forms a tense aspect with the Sun, and you may not be received well, or others could question your authority just now. This may be especially likely on the job.
June 27-28 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.
June 30-July 2 Venus trines Chiron and sextiles Saturn, and the Sun trines Jupiter. Romantic energy is strong, and good will reigns. This is a strong period for both relationships and finances. Healing energies are with us, and we tend to attract good things with our positive attitudes. For you, career matters, joint finances, investments, insurance and tax matters should go well.
July 1-2 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it’s time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won’t work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it’s best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.
July 3-5 Mercury is stationary retrograde now, and will remain retrograde until the 28th–a cycle when rethinking things is the name of the game. When Mercury is stationary, as it is now, it’s especially important to prepare for possible breakdowns in communication. Back up your computer, double-check your paperwork, and remember that you may not have all the necessary information to make big decisions for the time being. Avoid signing contracts or deals, as they may not work out as you expected, or might need revision later.
July 4-5 With Mars opposite Neptune, the planet of illusion, we could find ourselves spinning our wheels. We want more from our actions than simple, everyday results–we’re seeking inspiration, bliss, release, anything that makes us feel like we’re not locked into the mundane world. Watch for passive-aggressive and manipulative behavior, simply because it can be a challenge to move forward and grab what we want if we take a direct, simple route. If something looks too good to be true now, it may very well be. A face-off with a friend or lover is possible now. Disappointments with finances may also be part of the picture.
July 6-7 Freedom of movement and of thought are especially important to us right now. Venus squares Uranus and semi-squares Mercury, and the Sun trines Uranus. It’s a time when we can safely “expect the unexpected”, particularly when it comes to personal relationships. Watch for impulsive spending or fickle behavior in love. Flexibility is the key to success now.
July 9-10 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you’re noticed for what you’ve done or haven’t done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don’t be afraid to show others exactly what you’re made of. You’re at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.
July 9-10 Venus harmonizes with Neptune and Mercury and Uranus form a tense aspect. Romantic relationships have a touch of magic right now. We see the very best in people now, and this eases our interactions and takes the pressure off in personal relationships. This is a period of reading between the lines and thinking outside the box. Your powers of attraction are very high right now. Others see you in a most positive light.
July 11 Full Moon in Capricorn in your solar eleventh house. This Full Moon trines Uranus, adding insight, the ability to free ourselves from parts of our past that have been limiting us, and a feeling of truly moving ahead to issues illuminated by the Full Moon. You’ve been focusing on what brings you pleasureyour hobbies, romantic activities, and so forth. Now you realize that the role you play in others’ lives (as a spouse, parent, friend) is an important element in your overall happiness. You’re looking for validation from friends and group activities now, and there may be a big social event or group activity in the works.
July 13-16 Intense energy is with us now with Venus opposite Pluto and sextile Mars, Mars trine Pluto, and Jupiter and Saturn involved. Romantic, creative, and sexual intensity is what these influences are all about. There can be a confrontation or drama in personal relationships that leads to greater closeness and understanding–even ecstasy. Interactions are complex and dynamic now, and our relationships have more verve than usual. We are more inclined to go after what we want. Some feelings of being blocked are also possible, which could propel us to try harder. The most probable arenas for these energies to take place in your life is with family, intimate partners, and professional associates.
July 15-16 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It’s all about you now, so it’s time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.
July 17-18 Monthly money and income peak. You’re looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don’t have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up nowthe discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.
July 21-22 Hard aspects between Venus and Neptune and the Sun and Uranus make for an awkward, erratic, and perhaps disappointing couple of days. We could feel that our relationships are missing important elements, or we may face reality after engaging in self-deception. Surprises or changes in plans can throw us off center. You could be feeling underappreciated, left out, or completely misunderstood. A co-worker may challenge you, or unusual/upsetting conditions on the job may be experienced. We should feel re-energized by the 23rd, however, when both the Sun and Mars enter new signs.
July 24-25 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.
July 25 New Moon in Leo in your solar fifth house affects you until the next New Moon. Creative self-expression comes under the realm of the fifth house, and a New Moon occurring here sparks the creative juices. Romantic inclinations are also highlighted, as are any kind of celebratory, playful, and just-for-fun endeavors. You will be especially aware of your need for approval and feedback from others, deriving pleasure from the ways your own creativity impact the world around you. This can be a passionate time for you, and a time when you might feel more bold than usual. If you are feeling good about yourself, and especially if you have taken advantage of the time for re-building of confidence that the New Moon in the fourth house brought, you will fairly radiate during this expressive period.
July 26-27 Venus trines Jupiter. Under this influence, good humor, good will, strong morals, and a healthy sense of responsibility all contribute to a happy time. We are able to achieve growth through good feelings now. You may receive great news or praise, and increases may be seen from work.
July 27-29 Mercury is stationary direct. When Mercury is stationary, as it is now, it’s especially important to prepare for possible breakdowns in communication. Back up your computer, double-check your paperwork, and remember that you may not have all the necessary information to make big decisions for the time being. Avoid signing contracts or deals, as they may not work out as you expected, or might need revision later. As Mercury regains speed in the next week, improvements will be seen, but you may want to hold off on new deals until after August 4th.
July 29-30 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it’s time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor.

July 30-31 Venus trines Uranus. Romantic surprises.

AND Pisces Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Pisces:
June 2006: Pisces Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
June
Overview. Until the 11th, the Sun illuminates your communications sector, suggesting “busy-ness” and movement. Social interaction is emphasized, and is generally light-hearted. Give other people a little extra time and attention, notice their efforts on your behalf, and strengthen your connections. Pay attention to what’s close at hand. It’s a great time to network, and to strengthen casual connections to people in your immediate environment. You are more curious and alert than usual, and quite busy with errands, paperwork, phone calls, and light socializing. It’s not a time when you are especially focused. In fact, you could have a finger in many pies right now. From the 11th through to the end of the month, the Sun puts the spotlight on your sector of home and family, and these areas are your instinctive focus during this period. Besides spending more time tending to domestic affairs, the focus can be on cultivating and nourishing your inner foundations that support your life. This is a time to collect yourself–to fill your well, so to speak. You take more pride in your family, your home, and your heritage during this cycle.
Uranus’ retrograde in Pisces could have you taking some extra time to yourself for introspection and reflection. You may experience a period of turning inward, as you re-evaluate the way you come across to others–your image, mannerisms, and appearance–in order to determine whether you are expressing authenticity and sincerity in your approach to others. This month, there is a strong connection between your solar ninth and tenth houses. Your personal philosophies on life could receive public attention. There could be a movement in your career towards travel, law, publishing, teaching or sports. Your career could require long distance travel or even travel overseas, and you may be called upon to do more teaching on the job. These themes figure strongly in your life this month with the rulers of your ninth and tenth houses involved in a semi-square.
Your ruler, Neptune, receives a healthy trine from the Sun around the time of the New Moon, the 10-11. This is an excellent period for family and work matters, as well as for boosting self-confidence. Neptune squares Venus in your solar third house on the 14-15, when you could too easily be misunderstood.
With the ruler of your personal finances, Mars, moving into Leo this month, you could express more generosity and you could be more ostentatious in the way you spend and give money. You place a high value on your children, recreational pursuits, and other creative endeavors this month. Your income may be connected to making the most of your creative abilities, socializing with the right people, theatrical pursuits, or some well thought out “risky ventures” this month. Challenging days for finances occur on the 1-3, when impulsiveness with money could be costly, the 6-11, and the 18-21. You could see some returns on your investments and increased business income on the 16-17.
This month, your work is likely to be very busy, and you could be especially involved in communications, writing, transportation, or teaching what you know. Excellent days for work and health matters occur on the 10-11 and June 30-July 1. Tensions on the job could arise on the 4-5, 6-9, 13-15, and 25-26. Health issues may be part of the picture on the 25-26, when your vitality is lower than usual.
Love affairs often heat up for you around the time of the Full Moon each month. This month’s Full Moon occurs on the 11th. The 9-12 are excellent days for you to attract love, or to solve problems in existing romantic relationships. A spouse or close partner could be especially playful and romantic this month, and might also demand a little more specialized attention. Deep intimate bonding with another person is something you feel strongly about, particularly in the first half of the month. You tend to bond with others emotionally as well as sexually and it’s difficult for you to separate these feelings just now.
Venus moves through your money and values sector until the 15th. During this cycle, you are most attracted to anything that enhances your pleasure, comfort, and enjoyment. Making purchases and investments in luxury items, beautiful property, or other things of lasting value and appeal is favored now. However you are more inclined to let personal tastes and your love for something or someone dictate your choices rather than objective considerations, and therefore you may pay more for these things than you might at other times! Other people’s money or resources can strengthen your own financial picture. Venus infuses charm into your communications from the 15th. Courteous and friendly relations with neighbors and others in your immediate environment typify this time cycle. It’s a time of peacemaking and forming bridges of good will and cooperation with people you meet on a daily or casual basis. Sending notes of appreciation and similar loving gestures lighten the atmosphere. Take time to do little favors, exchange pleasantries, notice the flowers in your neighbor’s garden, and comment on the positive things you see around you. Focus on humor and lighthearted conversation.
Fiery Mars moves through your romance and pleasure sector all month, and your love life heats up big time. This is a very self-expressive time when you have lots of energy, but not necessarily self-discipline to match. You have more energy at your disposal to express yourself creatively, through activities with children, romantic activities, hobbies, or sports. Your love life may step up a notch, and this could be an especially passionate time. You tend to put more energy into play and pleasure! Be careful not to burn the candle at both ends. Also, watch out for a tendency to want to gamble. You are more playful than usual, and especially magnetic.
Mercury’s transit through your solar fourth until the 16th, and there could be a lot of activity, discussion, comings and goings, and possibly short-term visitors in your home during this cycle. Conversations tend to turn to the past, and you can get a more objective view of your family history and how others perceived past events. Open family dialogue is favored now. Writing about your feelings and having deep, soulful discussions clarify your understanding. While you may be caught up in reminisce in the two weeks of June, Mercury transits your solar fifth from the 16th, and intellectual diversions satisfy you most. It’s a good time to come up with some especially creative ideas, as the flow of your thoughts is more spontaneous and playful than usual.
Mercury and Venus in warm aspect to your Sun/Ascendant from the 16-24 makes this period an excellent time to present your ideas overall, as others receive you warmly.
May 27 New Moon in Gemini in your solar third house affects you for approximately 4 weeks (until the next New Moon). The third house rules our communication skills, learning, methods, daily interactions and contact, and general “busy-ness”. This is a favorable time for learning something new, feeling at ease in social situations, taking care of the details of daily life, and developing a mental rapport with others. It is a time when you will be more aware of your environment, and when you experience increased alertness. It’s a good time to take tests, fill out forms, start a new course, write letters, make phone calls, and take care of daily tasks with energy.
June 4-5 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it’s time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won’t work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it’s best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.
June 4-7 Some exciting yet unstable energy is with us during this period. Venus forms tense aspects with Saturn, Jupiter, Chiron, and Pluto, and we can experience a confusing mix of feelings on social and romantic levels. Overdoing it, under-doing it, and general see-sawing when it comes to relationships and finances are the theme. Further, the Sun forms tense aspects with Mars and Uranus, inviting us to take risks, but we may not be considering the consequences! It’s a less than ideal time to start a relationship or to make a significant purchase. For you, your ruler (Neptune) forms a tense aspect with Mercury during this period, suggesting some problems being understood or heard; and your family and partnership sectors are stimulated, bringing issues surrounding these areas of life to the forefront.
June 9-12 Mercury trines Jupiter and then Uranus, offering us breakthrough insights and downright brilliant ideas if we choose to listen to our intuition. The Sun also trines dreamy Neptune and Venus sextiles Uranus–the picture is very pretty indeed! Let loose, have some fun, and enjoy this smooth energy. With your ruler in harmonious aspect to the Sun, you are received well and things seem to flow smoothly. Others may recognize you as a leader in some manner.
June 11-12 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you’re noticed for what you’ve done or haven’t done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don’t be afraid to show others exactly what you’re made of. You’re at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.
June 11 Full Moon in Sagittarius in your solar tenth house. This Full Moon involves Pluto and is supported by Neptune, intensifying issues illuminated by the Full Moon, but with the potential for acceptance and clearer understanding–even spiritual enlightenment. You are suddenly in the limelighteveryone notices you now. It’s time to put your best foot forward, but be sure to do so with grace and consideration for others, or you may just make a display that you regret later. Perhaps you’ve been hiding yourself away, taking it easy. Now you need a little attention, and career matters come to a head. You’re called to perform, perhaps on a moment’s notice, and it’s best to keep your cool and do whatever you can to show your competence.
June 14-15 Your ruler, Neptune, is square Venus, bringing love, romance, and financial matters to the fore. There could be some disagreements regarding money during this period. Avoid new financial initiatives just now.
June 18-19 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It’s all about you now, so it’s time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.
June 18-19 Mars conjoins Saturn and squares Jupiter. We’re forced to do things by the book, but may not want to. This is not the time to take shortcuts–they won’t work. When we think in big terms, or if we have the urge to expand, we confront obstacles or face reality. Some re-structuring of our lives and of our business goals is now in order. We may be looking for new challenges, sometimes because we are forced to do so (because things are not going exactly as we had planned). We have a desire to grow and expand, but our attitude is tempered with some caution and feelings of restriction. It is best to breathe new life into old plans rather than to strike out with a new plan altogether. Take steps to grow, but don’t overextend yourself at this time or you are bound to face frustrations. The delays we may face now are actually fortunate ones! Patience and endurance leads to accomplishment and slow but steady progress in business and practical matters. This is an excellent time for you to make a commitment to a new health regime or diet, as well as to a new work-related or organizing project.
June 20-21 Monthly money and income peak. You’re looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don’t have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up nowthe discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.
June 25 New Moon in Cancer in your solar fourth house affects you until the next New Moon. Home and family may be a focus during this phase. On a personal, developmental level, this is a time to not only listen to what is in your gut, but to pay homage to those feelings! What makes you feel safe and secure? This is the time to explore and develop a sense of inner security. Although the fourth house is associated with the home, it is an angular, cardinal house that stirs up activity. This is a time of re-organization and heightened awareness of your roots, issues of intimacy and vulnerability, and it’s an excellent time to come in touch with your feelings and needs. Focusing on your support system and the manner in which you support others is also probable. This is a good time to make long-range plans for the future, to do any type of re-organizing or even re-modeling of the home or home environment, and for family-related activities.
June 25-26 Your ruler, Neptune, forms a tense aspect with the Sun, and you may not be received well, or others could question your authority just now. This may be especially likely on the job.
June 27-28 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.
June 30-July 1 Venus trines Chiron and the Sun trines Jupiter. Romantic energy is strong, and good will reigns. This is a strong period for both relationships and finances. Healing energies are with us, and we tend to attract good things with our positive attitudes. For you, career matters, joint finances, investments, insurance and tax matters should go well.

Venus continues her journey through your first house until the 20th,
and your desire to love and to be loved is stronger than usual. This is a cycle in which you naturally attract what you want, rather than aggressively pursue it. Your personal charm and cooperative attitude can get you far. You are also quite focused on your personal style and image, and it’s a good time to take steps to look your best.

During this cycle, you are especially attracted to comfort and luxury items, as well as things that have long-term potential and value. You are more stable in your affections, valuing pleasurable yet solid relations more than usual. New relationships started under this cycle are likely to be durable and rather steady.

Work is especially rewarding on the 27th, and some challenges or confusion are likely on the 9-10.
Your attitude towards your personal finances becomes a little more bold after the 18th, and you are inclined towards taking a few risks. The 4-8 is an excellent period for launching new financial initiatives, while caution should be exercised on the 16-17 and 22-24, particularly with investing and speculation.
Romance is heating up and quite lively this month. A lover may be restless mid-month, and it’s a good time for a romantic get-away. An excellent period for attracting love is the 4-8. Challenges in your love life are possible on the 16-17 and likely on the 22-24.
Mars continues its journey through your sector of family and home until the 18th. Because your actions are governed by your instincts during this period, you may be especially defensive and protective.

You have more energy to invest in homemaking, house repairs, re-decorating, or family activities. Mars moves through your romance and pleasure sector from the 18th, and you feel especially confident. You begin to lose your fear of taking risks. This is a very self-expressive time when you have lots of energy, but not necessarily self-discipline to match.

Your love life may step up a notch, and this could be an especially passionate time. You tend to put more energy into play and pleasure! Be careful not to burn the candle at both ends.

Your thoughts and opinions are received well, and you are especially clear and articulate. A huge boost to your energy levels occurs from the 18th onward.
Highlights:

Our intuition is good, we have a feel for new things and ideas, and we can benefit from timely action. Begin a creative activity (or enjoy the fruits of a successful one), and listen to your intuition.

Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.
May 9-10 Your ruler, Neptune, challenges the Sun. Misunderstandings, possibly on the job, are likely to arise now. Avoid making a presentation or starting an important conversation now, as you are likely to be misrepresented–or to misrepresent yourself! Others may question your integrity now.

May 13 Full Moon in Scorpio in your solar ninth house. This Full Moon is supported by Mars and challenged by Neptune, cautioning us that we may be reading too much (or too little) into issues illuminated by the Full Moon. However, this can be a spiritually enlightening time. Your attention to the logical world of reason has been a focus in the last two weeks. Now you feel a crisis of lack. Your personal beliefs may be tested now. Your impulses and faith matter, and all of the attention you’ve been giving to mundane affairs has you wondering when you’re going to have some fun. You want to take a leap of faith now. Your adventurous side pushes up and out, demanding attention.
May 14 Your ruler, Neptune, challenges Mercury. A conflict of wills or blockages can occur with a significant other or a family member.

May 16-17 Awkward energy is with us now, and it’s best to lay low. Confusion about where we are headed, and awkward communications can put a damper on our spirits. Relax, reflect, and avoid confrontations. This is a challenging day for finances. Avoid speculation at all costs now.
May 20-21 Venus sextiles dreamy Neptune (your ruler) and contra-parallels exciting Uranus. Romantic energy is strong, but avoid getting into an unrealistic state of mind, as this will only serve to aggravate the tense period coming on May 22-24. This is a time when enlightenment can come in a flash. You are especially magnetic and attractive now. You are exuding warm, romantic energy and are sure to get noticed.
May 22-23 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It’s all about you now, so it’s time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.
May 22-24 Venus squares Mars with Mercury intensifying the square. Venus square Mars is a time of romantic misadventures and war between the sexes. With Mercury involved as well, a tendency to say the wrong thing only aggravates the tension. Try not to fly off the handle, and avoid making impulsive decisions with love, partnership, and money.
May 24-25 Monthly money and income peak. You’re looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don’t have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up nowthe discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.

May 27 New Moon in Gemini in your solar third house affects you for approximately 4 weeks (until the next New Moon). The third house rules our communication skills, learning, methods, daily interactions and contact, and general “busy-ness”. This is a favorable time for learning something new, feeling at ease in social situations, taking care of the details of daily life, and developing a mental rapport with others. It is a time when you will be more aware of your environment, and when you experience increased alertness. It’s a good time to take tests, fill out forms, start a new course, write letters, make phone calls, and take care of daily tasks with energy.
May 28 Your ruler, Neptune, trines Mercury. This is an excellent day to spend with family or those near and dear to your heart. Partnerships can be enhanced, or attracted. An excellent day to get closer to someone and to express yourself.

Pisces (Born March 12 to 20) and Pisces Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Pisces:
April 2006: :Pisces Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
April
Overview. A solar eclipse at the end of March fell in your solar first house, and its effects reverberate throughout April (and beyond). The sequence of eclipses in Aries and Libra in the past while have called upon you to strike a balance between relationships and yourself. Issues of personal courage, confidence, and independence have come to the fore. You may, for example, have received a cosmic push towards expressing yourself more creatively, and you may have experienced an increased drive to take charge of your life. Issues surrounding personal appearance, the body, and your image become especially important and, in some cases, critical. Basically, you’ve been learning to stand on your own two feet! Carving out a personal identity that includes a significant other who furthers your own personal growth has been the focus. The March eclipse should give you the final push towards a stronger identity. Your needs are important, and there are ways to have them met without completely rocking the boat.
Mercury moves into your solar first house on the 8th pulls you out of your shell a little. You become more talkative and sociable than usual. Mercury’s retrograde last month meant that others misunderstood what you had to say, and misread your body language as well. Partnership and family/home issues were compromised somewhat (Mercury rules both sectors). Mercury moving forward means that problems you may have had with such matters are lifting. Your judgment was compromised in March, but this becomes a thing of the past in April. Now is the time when you can go ahead with partnership and family decisions. What you say now not only has impact, it’s understood and appreciated (after the 8th).
Privacy in your personal life continues to be paramount until the 25th. Laying low in both romance and finances is advised until the last week of the month. Secrets and whispers attract now, and you could have a hard time finding satisfaction in matters of the heart unless you express your selfless, understanding side. Some of you may be longing for love during this period. Any new relationships started during this period are bound to have a very private, perhaps even secret, tone. Existing relationships are nurtured–intimacy is more important than ever now. Venus moving into your solar first house on the 25th is a “feel good” transit. You are personable and your people skills are above par. It’s a good time to exert your personal influence, as you are especially cooperative and gracious during this period. What do you want? Now is the time when you can attract it. Although it wouldn’t be far-fetched to assume that gifts and rewards are coming your way, don’t sit around and wait. Circulate, express yourself, and have a little fun. Any new relationships started now are bound to be (at least a little bit) based on ego-stroking! Existing relationships take on a more playful tone. You’re making heads turn at the end of April and into May.
Mars enters your home and family sector this month. You have more energy at your disposal for domestic projects or activities. Because your actions are governed by your instincts during this period, you may be especially defensive and protective. You may work hard at making yourself feel more secure, and you may be called upon to take charge on the home and family front. You may have more energy to invest in homemaking, house repairs, re-decorating, or family activities. In fact, if you are feeling very restless, moody, or defensive during this period, it would be a good idea to do any of these things! You may have an increased desire to rule the roost, and if this transit stimulates conflict or disputes, it is likely to be family-related–you may have arguments with them, about them, or on their behalf. You may also encounter opposition from career-related matters or people. Conflict is most probable around the 6th-9th, when Mars opposes Pluto. You could encounter some opposition, and it likely revolves around your public versus private life.
Saturn turning direct this month is good news for you. While Saturn was retrograde for the last 4-1/2 months, you may have felt blocked, especially with issues surrounding friends and lovers. Stagnation and a feeling of being in a creative rut were likely. These matters are not going to be moving forward quickly just yet, but you will begin to feel more on top of things now. Take this opportunity to monetize or structure a hobby. Schedule some solid time for pure fun and games.
Highlights:
March 29 New Moon in Aries (Total Solar Eclipse) in your solar first house. This energy is with you until the next New Moon, and beyond (its effects can extend up to 6 months). This New Moon placement is a powerful oneit’s a time to reinvent yourself in some personal way, such as with a new look or manner of expressing and presenting yourself. This is a personally busy time of year, when you feel energetic and enthusiastic. Think about how you present yourself to others, focus on changing personal habits in such a way as to improve your confidence in yourself, and concentrate on putting your best foot forward, as this is a time when you will get noticed and make a personal impression on others. However, factor in the importance of authenticity in your presentation of yourself. You do not have to, of course, reveal all of yourself to others, but the sign of Aries associated with the first house reminds us of the importance of acting on our impulses and believing in ourselves. This is a time when you can be brave and enjoy new experiences.
April 2-4 Some exciting cosmic energy is with us now. Venus is parallel Chiron and sextile Pluto, and Mercury re-visits its trine to Jupiter. This is an excellent period for financial undertakings, love, and overall good humor. If you’ve been waiting for the right time to make a purchase, here it is.
April 6-7 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.
April 6-9 Mars opposes Pluto and Mercury forms a tense aspect with Saturn. Conflicts are very possible now, and they likely revolve around attention given to family and to career. Avoid taking extreme measures to make things happen your way, and avoid people who might be doing same. Take a break if you can, and pass up on face-offs or battles of willit’s hard to win just now. Trying to get the upper hand is fruitless today.
April 8-9 Your ruler, Neptune, forms a harmonious aspect with the Sun. You are displaying strength of mind and character, leadership skills, and direction. A good period for furthering your goals, exerting your personal influence, and self-expression on the job.
April 11-12 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it’s time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won’t work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it’s best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.
April 13 Full Moon in Libra in your solar eighth house. This Full Moon is supported by both Neptune and Pluto, offering us creative revelations and solutions to issues illuminated by the Full Moon. This Full Moon is all about give and take. What makes you feel comfortable and secure needs to be balanced with attention to other people’s needs and comfort levels. It’s a good time to settle some of your debts, financial or otherwise.
April 16-18 Venus conjuncts Uranus in Pisces, the Sun trines Pluto, and Mercury squares Mars. This is a high-energy, potentially productive period if we can avoid being too impulsive. There can be great excitement in love nowa feeling of re-birth, in fact. We could have the gumption to take a chance and speculate on a love that is intense and unpredictable, and we are more decisive than usual. For you, your power of attraction is strong, and surprises are in store. You have quiet charm working for you.
April 18-19 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you’re noticed for what you’ve done or haven’t done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don’t be afraid to show others exactly what you’re made of. You’re at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.
April 23-25 The Sun and Venus form tense aspects with Saturn, and it’s best to avoid new financial undertakings, as they may prove to be “money pits” as time passes. There can be difficulties relating to others, and it’s hard to satisfy the ego. We feel blocked by circumstances or by others. It’s too easy to feel discouraged, but discouragement is a time waster. Gratitude isn’t forthcoming right now, so it’s best to wait it out rather than waste energy letting it get to you. Avoid any form of speculation and steer clear of new financial initiatives.
April 24-25 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It’s all about you now, so it’s time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.
April 26-27 Monthly money and income peak. You’re looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don’t have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up nowthe discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are all possible.
April 27 New Moon in Taurus in your solar second house affects you until the next New Moon. Heightened sensitivity to the world of the five senses, to your physical environment, and to the security you gain from the solid ground you have built for yourself is in order for this period of time. Attunement to, and appreciation of, the physical world of the senses is the focus, and this is a time to start fresh in terms of how you arrange your life in order to feel a sense of value and worthiness. Financial issues come into focus. Setting realistic financial goals, as well as formulating such things as budgets and other sensible financial planning projects, will be favored during this time. Discovering ways to increase your income is featured. It is also a wonderful time for taking moments to pleasure yourself through earthy, tactile, and comforting endeavors.

March 2006: Pisces Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
March
Overview. Neptune, your ruler, continues to square Jupiter for the first four weeks of March, suggesting that you should probably avoid get-rich-quick-schemes! You can be generous without being discriminating, which can result in wastefulness, and you should be careful when investing or taking risks to make sure you have thoroughly analyzed the situation before committing yourself to it. Following your intuition is a great idea this month on other matters, howeveryou are extremely creative and you will find that listening to your dreaming mind helps you to solve problems that may have been nagging you. The month begins with the Sun conjunct Uranus in your sector of privacy, giving you an electric boost to your intuition. It’s a mostly introspective month for you. Mercury’s retrograde cycle from the 2nd to the 25th begins at your Sun, and can signify a few bumps and bruises. Others might misunderstand what you have to say, and misread your body language as well. It will be important to avoid signing any contracts or making important partnership or family/home decisions. Mars moving through your communications sector may compound the issue, as you could experience more than the usual volume of communications and a growing “to do” list. Don’t worry too much if others aren’t quite “getting” you for the time being. Things will change once Mercury turns direct, so you might decide to try to keep status quo during the retrograde cycle. Use this cycle for finding new solutions to life’s problems, especially with regards to the manner in which you present yourself to the world. The role you play in others’ lives may bring you a little more satisfaction this month, and the social aspect of romance may be more important than usual. Pleasure can be found in group activities and on simple outings with friends.
Highlights:
February 27 New Moon in Pisces in your solar twelfth house affects you until the next New Moon. This is a period of review, letting go, and recharging one’s spiritual and, in effect, physical “batteries”. Focus, now, is on fulfillment through service, empathy, and awareness of other’s needs; but it can also be a time of withdrawal and some sort of retreat in a social sense, depending on your personal and natural predisposition. Some kind of soul-searching is in order, and the urge to find some level of emotional peace of mind will be apparent.

Others are seeing your traits as especially clever. The world of your dreams and intuition also receive a creative boost–perhaps even a jolt.

March 14 Full Moon in Virgo (Lunar Eclipse) in your solar seventh house. This Full Moon has a longer influence than most because it’s a Lunar Eclipse, and its effects should reverberate through your life for at least a few months. This is a wonderful time to let your partner shine and just lay back and appreciate it all. That can mean enjoying the fruits of your mutual labors wrought by the relationship, or it can mean finally fully connecting with someone you’ve been developing something special with for a while. In either case, the rewards of connecting closely will take center stage, and you can lean on the familiarity you already have to support what comes next.

January 2006: Pisces Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
January
Overview. Your career and reputation are in the forefront of your mind this month–especially in the first half of January. You may be feeling invigorated as new opportunities or responsibilities occupy your thoughts and demand your attention. All year, Pluto is highlighting these areas of life, and big changes may be in store. This month, you may catch a glimpse of what these changes could be. Be wary, however, of problems and misunderstandings that may occur with friends and groups. Something you are saying (or not saying) can be misinterpreted. Aim to be as clear as possible with friends, and be as understanding as you can if your friends appear emotionally distant. Problems in this area of your life should be ironed out by February 3rd and beyond. By the end of the month, you should be feeling especially energized. Look for income opportunities in the communications fields, and if a sibling or neighbor has a financial idea, listen closely.
Highlights:
December 31-January 1 New Moon in Capricorn, sets a theme for the month ahead. Make a resolution concerning commitment to your career goals on December 31st to January 1st. Think of ways to add more structure and organization to your life. This New Moon occurs in your solar tenth house. Heightened sensitivity to your standing in society and your goals for constructive progress are highlighted this month. It’s a good time to develop new business plans and goals, assuming the New Moon is not very afflicted, and a sense of renewal and reinvigoration with regards to your career goals is a potential. It is a time to focus on the elements of your personality that you are projecting to society and as a professional. Goals for self-mastery and self-discipline should be made at this time. This is a phase when you will be busy with career and/or public responsibilities.
January 4 Your ruler, Neptune, forms a tense aspect with Mercury, suggesting that you might suffer from confusing communications and misunderstandings today, likely because you are experiencing information overload and can’t quite sort everything out. What you say, or what you don’t say, today can get you into hot water. Put off important decisions for now.
January 4-5 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It’s all about you now, so it’s time to put your best face forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted.

Money issues pop up now–the discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.
January 8 From 4:35 PM EST to midnight, it’s a good time for business affairs, or making small purchases. Do remember, however, that Venus is retrograde the entire month of January, so hold off, if you can, on major purchases, financial initiatives, or starting new love affairs.
January 13 You could be the recipient of pleasant news, an invitation, or you might make an important new contact today.
January 14 Full Moon in Cancer in your solar fifth house. Spontaneity is the watchword right now, and it’s time to kick back and have some fun, especially with close friends and children. If you’re at a party and go just a little bit over the top, you will likely be in good company, as this is a general time of celebration for all. Passion and intensity, on any topic you choose, can run rampant and enthusiasm overflows. If you’re trying to get business done, you’ll be swimming against the tide, so if you have the option, just go with the flow. If you’re working on a creative project, make sure you get the product preserved for posterity — on paper, on film, on tape, on CD. If you’re just going to be pleasantly out to lunch, don’t bother, just enjoy.
January 14-15 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you!
