Introduction to the Life Trends Report
The following pages describe the major transits that you will be experiencing over the coming period. These pages can give you insight into the challenges that you will encounter and the underlying lessons that they offer you. There are literally hundreds of transits occurring for you each year. This report focuses on those that occur more infrequently and therefore present the greatest challenges. These outer planet transits show the “backdrop” of important influences in the coming period.
The “Exact” transits dates, and immediately prior to those dates, are the times when the energies described will be felt most strongly and when actual events related to the transit are most likely to occur. Many transits will have three “Exact” dates listed. This is because the transiting planet goes retrograde (R) and then direct (D) again, causing three “hits.” When this is the case, the issues associated with the transit will surface on the first hit, there will be some progress toward resolving these issues on the second hit, and the third hit will bring final resolution. It is normal and expected that transits are repeated in the report, as the same transit comes in and out of orb due to retrograde motion (apparent backward motion) and then direct motion once again. Repeated transits can be considered strong influences.
Read your transit report over once now to get a general overview of the coming period. Then, as the issues described in this report begin to appear in your life, you can refer back to this report for suggestions on how to best handle the changes that you are experiencing. Even the worst transit can be a valuable experience if you are fortunate enough to “get” the lesson that it offers.
The readings stress that you are the ultimate decider of your fate. Astrology can give you a “weather report” on the energies influencing you, but it is up to you to decide how you will react. Some people can benefit greatly under normally difficult transits because they eagerly meet the challenge head on. Others will not benefit from the most positive transits because they did not pursue opportunities presented to them.
Now, on to your personal transits report…

Chiron trine Saturn: 3/10/2015, Exact
This transit will occur only twice in each 50-year cycle of Chiron. During this time you will closely re-examine your level of commitment in various areas of your life (especially your relationships). You may form a deep, committed relationship, or reach new levels in an existing romance. Or, you may end a long-time partnership after realizing you initially made the commitment for all the “wrong” reasons (usually as a result of duty, obligation or even tradition). If you have shirked your responsibilities toward others in the past, they are likely to come back and haunt you. This gives you the opportunity to do things differently now and deal with others fairly and honestly.
You may change careers during this time, especially if someone else, such as your family or spouse chose your current profession for you. If you’ve enjoyed a relatively secure and stable existence, you may have to tighten your belt and modify your lifestyle in order to adapt to the changing world around you. However, you’re very perceptive now and are quick to come up with creative solutions. Instead of becoming bitter over unfulfilled dreams, learn to give thanks for what you do have. Events in your life are likely to bring many latent problems to the surface to be resolved (mostly related to childhood wounds that have never healed. The more progress you can make toward healing these scars, the easier it will be for you when Chiron squares or opposes your natal Saturn in a few years.
During this time you’ll focus on building the foundation for a new future–one based on your own ideas and life goals, rather than those thrust upon you by others. You realize that you create your reality, and you’re ready to work hard to manifest your own personal and professional success. Others will offer you plenty of advice, but in the end you have to follow your own inner guidance. Once you learn to find and pursue your own destiny, you’ll be able to share your experience and help others do the same.
Jupiter sextile Sun: 3/16/2015, Exact
enters orb: 3/10/2015, 0.51 deg. orb – leaves orb: 4/1/2015, 0.75 deg. orb
You are able to accomplish a great deal at this time with very little effort. Even your most idealistic dreams seem possible, and you are able to maintain a positive attitude toward life. This is an excellent time for relaxing and reviewing the progress you are making in life. You are optimistic now and can more easily make necessary changes in order to achieve your goals.
Now is a great time to make a good first impression, especially with people who are in a position of authority. You convey an image of self-confidence, which leads others to believe in you and support your endeavors. This transit brings a kind of “good luck” but does not provide the motivation to do something with it. This must come from your own sense of self-discipline and commitment to your life purpose.
Your relationships with others will be very rewarding now, and you enjoy socializing with friends and loved ones. Your optimism and self-confidence are infectious, and your positive outlook on life inspires others. You may meet a new love interest through Jupiter-related activities, such as travel, education, publishing or religion. It is possible that new opportunities for growth or advancement will present themselves to you now. Keep your eyes open and be ready to seize the chance when it appears; opportunity will not knock twice.
At this time you are more outgoing and generous than usual. Minor problems and obstacles don’t throw you completely off track. You are able to plan ahead and to make adjustments when your plans don’t work out quite right. Often this transit indicates a sudden windfall or unexpected acquisition of cash. Now is certainly a good time to negotiate business deals and to enter into well-planned transactions. It’s also an excellent time to resolve legal matters. You are willing to compromise with others now and are therefore more likely to receive cooperation from others.
This can be an excellent time for financial transactions, making plans for the future, making investments, resolving conflicts with others, and boosting your self-confidence. You may be feeling particularly vital and confident, and this inner “sunny-ness” can bring its rewards.
Jupiter trine Moon: 3/21/2015, Exact
enters orb: 3/10/2015, 0.84 deg. orb – leaves orb: 4/9/2015, 0.49 deg. orb
During this time you have the ability to draw what (or who) you need to you. This will be a very pleasant time, although nothing magnanimous is likely to happen unless there are other simultaneous transits that can give you the drive you need to accomplish things now. You feel laid back and happy, but not particularly motivated. Unfortunately, your present ability to attract what you need with little effort will not last forever, even though you may feel that it will. So unless you provide the motivation, this time may come and go without leaving any permanent changes or major accomplishments in its wake.
Your home will be a source of good feelings at this time, as your family and friends are supportive of you now. You will make important connections with people now who will later be able to help you in some way, women in particular. Opportunities to improve your living situation will come your way now, either through relocating, remodeling or expanding your space in some way.
Now is a good time to take on sports or other physical activities. It is also an excellent time to make progress in your business or profession, since your confidence is high. It is also a favorable time to buy or sell real estate. This transit often sparks an interest in spiritual or religious matters. At the very least, you will be at peace with yourself.
Uranus square Saturn: 4/22/2015, Exact
enters orb: 3/31/2015, 1.28 deg. orb – leaves orb: 5/6/2015, 0.75 deg. orb
This transit occurs only twice in each 84-year cycle of Uranus. You will find that restrictions you have tolerated until this point must go! You feel a strong urge to break free from oppressive relationships and situations, and you will do whatever is necessary in order to do so. For instance, if you’ve been putting up with an unsatisfactory love relationship or job situation because you are afraid you couldn’t make it without the emotional or financial security it offers, now is the time you will decide that nothing is worth the oppression you suffer.
Events and situations will present tests for your belief system, and you may have to reconsider many of your long-held ideas. By the end of this transit, your beliefs will be more based on reality, even though the process may have been unpleasant. You will experience sudden realizations (enlightenment) as to how situations in your life REALLY are and then will have to decide which are still appropriate enough to be included in your life.
You are challenged now to remove anything from your life that is preventing you from realizing your greatest potential, whether this is an outward situation or an inner block. As you look around you are likely to realize that you’ve settled for much less than you want or deserve in life. During this transit you are likely to make abrupt changes without looking back, and others will be very surprised by your actions. This is not a good time to take on major changes in your business or profession. Trust could be an issue in your business associations, and legal conflicts could arise.
Since this is a stressful transit, it can aggravate physical conditions such as ulcers, heart disease, nervous disorders and other tension-related ailments. Be sure to find a release for the frustration you feel now, even if it is no more than talking to an understanding friend.
Uranus conjunct Jupiter: 4/23/2015, Exact
enters orb: 3/24/2015, 1.70 deg. orb – leaves orb: 5/12/2015, 1.00 deg. orb
Traditionally, this is a time of great luck and good fortune; whether you are able to hold onto any such windfalls is another question. This transit occurs once every 84 years and therefore usually only once in a person’s lifetime. And indeed you may be presented with opportunities that have a “now or never” quality about them.
You are most certainly feeling restless now and want to break out of your old routine and widen your perspective on life. Unless you find your job extremely stimulating, you may seek a promotion or change in career during this transit. The change you make will undoubtedly be for the best, although it may seem rather radical at the time.
Now would be an excellent time for travel, and you have increased curiosity about and contact with foreign lands or people from other cultures. You will not have much time to be bored during this transit, nor will you be in the mood for it. Because you are receptive to new philosophies and ways of viewing the universe, you will achieve higher understanding of your role in a larger Universal plan. Your sense of intuition is stimulated by this transit, and you may receive psychic insights or have spiritual experiences. At the very least, your interest in metaphysical sciences (including astrology) will grow.
Since you are basically optimistic and feel nothing can go wrong, you are more open to new ideas and concepts. This optimism is healthy, but don’t let it become overconfidence. If you are receiving windfalls now, don’t spend like they will always be there. In fact, with this transit it is possible to lose wealth as quickly as you receive it–expect the unexpected. Be sure you are prepared to let go of any riches you receive now, for they are probably temporary.
You enjoy a good challenge during this transit and may feel like directing some of your energy to fighting for social reform and civil rights. Your freedom is very important to you now and so you have a healthy respect for others’ need for same.
Jupiter trine Moon: 4/26/2015, Exact
enters orb: 4/9/2015, 0.49 deg. orb – leaves orb: 5/9/2015, 1.00 deg. orb
During this time you have the ability to draw what (or who) you need to you. This will be a very pleasant time, although nothing magnanimous is likely to happen unless there are other simultaneous transits that can give you the drive you need to accomplish things now. You feel laid back and happy, but not particularly motivated. Unfortunately, your present ability to attract what you need with little effort will not last forever, even though you may feel that it will.

You will make important connections with people now who will later be able to help you in some way, women in particular. Opportunities to improve your living situation will come your way now, either through relocating, remodeling or expanding your space in some way.
Now is a good time to take on sports or other physical activities. It is also an excellent time to make progress in your business or profession, since your confidence is high. It is also a favorable time to buy or sell real estate. This transit often sparks an interest in spiritual or religious matters. At the very least, you will be at peace with yourself.
Jupiter sextile Sun: 5/1/2015, Exact
enters orb: 4/9/2015, 0.83 deg. orb – leaves orb: 5/10/2015, 0.75 deg. orb
You are able to accomplish a great deal at this time with very little effort. Even your most idealistic dreams seem possible, and you are able to maintain a positive attitude toward life. This is an excellent time for relaxing and reviewing the progress you are making in life. You are optimistic now and can more easily make necessary changes in order to achieve your goals.
Now is a great time to make a good first impression, especially with people who are in a position of authority. You convey an image of self-confidence, which leads others to believe in you and support your endeavors. This transit brings a kind of “good luck” but does not provide the motivation to do something with it. This must come from your own sense of self-discipline and commitment to your life purpose.
Your relationships with others will be very rewarding now, and you enjoy socializing with friends and loved ones. Your optimism and self-confidence are infectious, and your positive outlook on life inspires others.

This can be an excellent time for financial transactions, making plans for the future, making investments, resolving conflicts with others, and boosting your self-confidence. You may be feeling particularly vital and confident, and this inner “sunny-ness” can bring its rewards.
Uranus is in the 10th: 5/1/2015, Moving Forwards at Degree 0 in a 35 Degree House
Uranus is in the 10th house now. Career goals and conditions could change suddenly, and may seem restrictive. A steep rise or fall in position is possible. Conformity is difficult.
Uranus conjunct Midheaven: 5/1/2015, Exact
enters orb: 4/1/2015, 1.70 deg. orb – leaves orb: 5/21/2015, 1.00 deg. orb
This transit occurs only once in each 84-year cycle of Uranus. During this time your reputation before the world will go through sudden changes, especially in the area of your career. It may be that your present work situation will become unbearably restrictive and you will seek to break free in order to allow greater freedom expression. If, however, you choose to cling to an old job which has outlived its usefulness, you will encounter upsets and opposition which will eventually force you to let go.
You will break free of any and all situations which have held you back in achieving your goals. If your chosen occupation allows you the freedom to pursue your goals unhindered, you will experience exciting new developments in your life now. In fact, you may receive a sudden promotion. If your present job is in any way restrictive, you will most likely attempt to initiate drastic changes or leave it altogether and begin another. The new career you choose may be surprisingly different from anything you have attempted in the past.
Now would be a good time to take advantage of opportunities in fields associated with Uranus, such as science and technology, astrology or other metaphysical sciences. Whatever you choose to concentrate on, it will be unique and innovative. Exciting opportunities will be presented to you now, many of them with a little help from your friends. It’s up to you to choose the most appropriate.
This transit can indicate revolt against authority figures, especially employers. It may also indicate sudden changes in your relationship with your parents. You will certainly emerge from this transit a much stronger individual and much better able to take on the responsibility of running your own life.
Jupiter trine Jupiter: 6/6/2015, Exact
enters orb: 5/24/2015, 1.70 deg. orb – leaves orb: 6/12/2015, 1.00 deg. orb
This is a time of increased optimism and self-confidence and is an excellent time to review your goals and make long-range plans for the future. It is a good time to reorganize your life in some way–your office, kitchen, etc. You feel like expanding your knowledge about the world and may even enroll in a class now or travel to distant places. Now is also a good time to join a consciousness-raising group or otherwise indulge in self-discovery.
You generally feel good now, and if you have been sick recently this transit will help a great deal to rebuild your strength. This is also an excellent time to improve your family life and to grow in the process. Your finances are likely to improve, and business investments are favored. Legal matters will be resolved with little effort (often to everyone’s mutual benefit).
This is a good time to reflect on your goals and to explore ways to eliminate stress and tension from your life. You may become involved in a group dedicated to bettering the world, and this would be a good outlet for your energy now. Actions undertaken with a group at this time are generally successful.
This transit leaves you with a feeling of “laziness,” and so you may find that you do nothing but feel good during its duration. If you can, however, take this opportunity to travel or get involved in mind-expanding experiences, study new subjects, etc. The ability to benefit greatly from such activities exists now; you have to add the motivation.
Jupiter trine Midheaven: 6/9/2015, Exact
enters orb: 5/28/2015, 1.70 deg. orb – leaves orb: 6/15/2015, 1.00 deg. orb
As with most Jupiter trines, this transit brings renewed optimism and self-confidence. You feel that you can accomplish a great deal and are willing to work hard to do it. You will become a model for others, who will respect you and follow your guidance and leadership. They will trust in you because of your self-confidence and positive attitude. Many achieve professional success, such as a promotion or new job, during this transit.
You are likely to gain financially under this transit, and you are not likely to spend it quickly and foolishly. This would be a good time to invest in a new business, expanding an old one, or even in your home. Depending on whether there are other transits that support this one, you may not experience any real material gain, but will merely feel tranquil and content. While this transit is considered “lucky,” you must provide the incentive to achieve concrete results at this time.
You feel good about yourself and therefore attract others to you. At this time you feel disposed to offer a shoulder for friends to lean on and to cheer them up if they are depressed. You feel generous and cooperative, and you could work out any hard feelings with family members now. This is also a good time to handle legal affairs or to travel.
As with most Jupiter transits, the only danger here is that you will overdo. Remember, you yourself are only human. Be reasonable with demands you make on yourself.
Neptune square Neptune: 6/13/2015, 0.52 deg. orb
enters orb: 4/4/2015, 1.70 deg. orb – leaves orb: 7/25/2015, 1.00 deg. orb
This transit occurs only once in your life (in your early 40s) and is part of what is known as the mid-life crisis. You’ll use this time to review your life, question whether you have or will ever fulfill your goals, and make changes if needed. Be careful not to make changes on a whim, however, because your judgment is not at its best under Neptune’s influence. If you act too rashly, you could endanger your home, family life or career. Remember that your emotions are more unstable than usual now.
Remember that you do not know everything there is to know about yourself, even at your “old” age. It’s time to see some truths in your life that you have been avoiding by reassessing your goals in life. You may decide that you’ve been pursuing ideals that you no longer value. Allow yourself to be guided through this transit, just don’t make any hard-and-fast commitments that cannot be broken later. You will emerge from this transit with new insights that will greatly change your outlook on life.
You are very interested in psychic, mystical and metaphysical subjects, yet your quest into these otherworldly areas will be disappointing, or even unpleasant. Avoid mind-altering substances such as drugs and alcohol, as you are more prone than usual to addiction.
This is a good time to practice yoga and meditation. If you should feel the need to seek the counsel of another at this time, it is best to consult persons who are not in your immediate age group. Your peers are also going through this same transit and will not be able to provide objective guidance at this time.
Chiron square Mercury: 6/25/2015, 0.76 deg. orb
enters orb: 5/8/2015, 1.70 deg. orb – leaves orb: 7/17/2015, 1.00 deg. orb
This transit will occur only twice in each 50-year cycle of Chiron. Your mind is likely to be very active now, and you’re full of new, innovative ideas and insights. However, it may be more difficult than you think (though not impossible) to clearly communicate your newfound concepts to others. This is an excellent time to attend college, especially if you’re returning at a later age. You feel driven to expand your mind and learn new things, but you must not expect miracles of yourself. Learn to be patient and allow things to come to you in their own time. You may even dabble in metaphysics, magic, or past-life memories.
If you carry childhood wounds related to your early education (and opinions you formed about yourself at that time), they may be reopened now. Although this may be painful for you, it is the first step toward healing these old scars forever. If too much emphasis was placed on academic achievement during your childhood (or if you were treated as an intellectual inferior), now is the time to break through such early conditioning and develop renewed confidence in yourself and your mental abilities. It’s also a good time to tell others what’s really on your mind. Just be careful that you don’t become overly opinionated and stubborn. Remember, you’re likely to catch more flies with honey than with vinegar.
Once your curiosity kicks in and the ideas start pouring in, you may have the opportunity to begin a new business venture (especially in the areas of writing, the media, education, or counseling). This is a good time to explore holistic health practices, and you may even look into a career in the healing professions. During this transit you’ll find that you can heal (or wound) with words alone. Be sure to allow for leisure time in your busy schedule. Otherwise, you risk suffering from nervous exhaustion and other stress-related health problems. Once you’ve learned to clear your mind, pace yourself and avoid stress, you can teach others to do likewise.
Jupiter is in the 2nd: 6/26/2015, Moving Forwards at Degree 0 in a 26 Degree House
Jupiter is in the 2nd house now, increasing opportunities to expand income and material possessions. Career or investment interests may pay off handsomely, but overspending is a pitfall.
Saturn trine Ascendant: 7/4/2015, Exact
enters orb: 6/5/2015, 1.70 deg. orb – leaves orb: 8/1/2015, 0.62 deg. orb
During this transit you will seek to establish yourself as a responsible and respectable person. You will work hard to organize your life, both personal and professional, and keep it running smoothly. You are consistent and reliable in your relationships, and others know they can depend on you. Rather than rebelling or trying to surprise others with your rash actions, you are likely to be more conservative and disciplined now.
At this time you understand the need to acquire experience in your career, and you are more willing than usual to work hard to get ahead. Others will help you, not because you coerce them but because they can see that you are competent and reliable enough to handle increased responsibility. Although you want to succeed, you only want what you deserve and earn. You want to be totally fair and don’t want to be in debt to anyone. This is an excellent time for resolving legal matters. It is also important to you now that you can be totally self-sufficient.
In your relationships you are likely to need more time alone. You are more cautious in forming new relationships and you are more shy than usual. While you don’t have to accept every invitation you are offered now, be careful not to overlook a new friend who can help you. Many people meet a teacher or mentor during this transit, usually someone who is older than them. You probably won’t recognize this person at first as a teacher because they will not fit your usual description of the word.
The only drawback with this transit is that you will tend to resist changes as they begin to take place in your life. You think conservatively and will look to old ways of solving problems rather than coming up with new ones. This is not a problem if you remember to remain flexible.
Jupiter sextile Mercury: 7/4/2015, Exact
enters orb: 6/27/2015, 1.28 deg. orb – leaves orb: 7/8/2015, 0.75 deg. orb
You have an unusually sharp mind now and can communicate your ideas to others very clearly. It is an excellent time for planning and strategizing, and you will exercise good judgment in making decisions. If you need to negotiate a contract or conduct business transactions–especially if it involves buying and selling–now is the time. You are very sure of yourself and should obtain good financial results.
Friends will be a source of good news to you now. They could even bring you new business opportunities. You may receive a communication from someone out of your past. In general, this is an excellent for all kinds of communication, both in business and socially. It is also a good transit for writing and publishing, or for attending school. Your perspective on the world is expanding.
If there are unresolved differences between you and your friends or loved ones, this is a good time to work things out. It is more likely that you could achieve a meeting of the minds now. Since you are more confident and optimistic, you are more willing to compromise.
Your keen attention to detail allows you to make successful plans now. Of course, you have to motivate yourself to use your increased mental capabilities constructively. Jupiter brings such a feeling of well-being that we can become lazy and let opportunities pass us by. If you act on these opportunities, you can use your many ideas to build something solid that will still be around after this transit has passed.
Jupiter trine Chiron: 7/26/2015, Exact
enters orb: 7/18/2015, 1.70 deg. orb – leaves orb: 7/31/2015, 1.00 deg. orb
This transit will occur only twice in each 12-year cycle of Jupiter and is a good time to review long-held beliefs that you may not have previously questioned. These beliefs may be deeply imbedded in your psyche, especially those that you formed as a result of early life experiences. Now you’re deciding which of your beliefs you’ll keep because they ring true for you, and which you’ll discard as really belonging to someone else. You may have to take a stand against valued family members, teachers and mentors in order to follow your own path. Don’t hesitate to follow your instincts now; then you’ll know better than anyone what’s best for you.
This is an excellent time to travel to or study about foreign lands and cultures. You’ll learn a great deal from those you meet on your journey (or in your classroom) that will help to broaden your view of the world. During your travels you’ll be drawn to the history and artwork of faraway lands, and you may find that you have artistic abilities you’ve never explored. If you produce creative works now, they will appeal to everyone, regardless of race or culture.
In the process of exploring the differences between the world’s myriad cultures, you’ll discover how similar we all really are. Then you’ll return home with a more tolerant and accepting attitude toward your neighbors, as well as a renewed desire to share your newfound knowledge and experience with others.
Events will occur that will teach you to appreciate what you already have in life rather than pining away for what you lack. Your curiosity about metaphysical sciences and holistic health will also increase during this transit, either because of your increased sense of experimentation, or because you seek cures for physical, spiritual or psychological wounds you’ve found difficult to heal. You may try such new techniques as meditation, yoga, acupuncture, aromatherapy, homeopathy, healing with crystals or laying on of hands. It’s possible you’ll work with others to bring about greater acceptance for these alternative philosophies. You may even consider a new career in one of these fields.
Saturn trine Venus: 8/1/2015, 0.12 deg. orb
enters orb: 6/16/2015, 1.70 deg. orb – leaves orb: 9/4/2015, 1.01 deg. orb
At this time you are more successful than usual at harmonizing your individual needs with those of your close personal relationships. This transit allows you to stabilize such relationships and to approach them from a realistic point of view. You have a greater understanding of who you are and can readily see and understand the needs of others. Your relationships will lead you to greater awareness of yourself during this time.
Now is a good time to make long-range decisions regarding your relationships, for you are not likely to see your partner through rose-colored glasses but rather can deal with the reality of what you mean to each other. If you prefer an exciting love life, this time may seem rather dull to you, but in fact you are emphasizing stability now rather than excitement, and you are laying a solid foundation that will be able to withstand change when needed.
During the last few years (when Saturn squared or opposed Venus), you ended many relationships that were no longer contributing to your growth. Now the loved ones who remain in your life are those of the greatest value to you. These people can teach you a great deal about yourself and assist you in expanding your perception of love relationships in general.
Now is a good time to enjoy the benefits of close personal relationships and to grow from your acquaintances with loved ones. You may have an affair with someone considerably older or younger than you, and the older partner may serve as a wise teacher or mentor to the younger.
This is also a good time for successful business relationships, and you are likely to receive needed support from your superiors. You are able to negotiate well now and to respect the needs of others. You are not likely to be unreasonable but are prone to see things (even the other guy’s side) more realistically now. You are able to exercise a great deal of self-discipline at this time in creative works of all kinds.
Jupiter sextile Uranus: 8/5/2015, Exact
enters orb: 7/30/2015, 1.28 deg. orb – leaves orb: 8/9/2015, 0.75 deg. orb
This transit stimulates your interest in new ideas and experiences and can serve to greatly broaden your awareness of the world. You may feel bored with your daily routine and seek to break free from the limiting circumstances of your existence. You are very impatient and “want it all now,” and if you are not careful this could lead to rash and impulsive action on your part.
There will undoubtedly be changes in your immediate environment. Perhaps you will move or remodel your home. Or you may receive a sudden promotion, job opportunity or chance to travel. There is a strong element of “luck” in any combination of Jupiter and Uranus. If you feel like gambling, now is a good time. Just remember to be practical and cautious with gambling or any speculative investments. Out-of-the ordinary opportunities will present themselves; it is up to you to wisely choose which ones to invest in and to what extent.
Solving life’s problems is simpler now, as you are very mentally alert. You can more easily grasp new ideas and concepts now, and this allows you to change those previously rigid areas of your life that have held you back. You may be attracted to movements dedicated to social improvement. You will not do this in a revolutionary way, but rather with a spirit of genuine concern and giving. You are likely to make new and exciting friends now or to join groups of like-minded individuals who will be of great assistance to you. Religious, scientific, occult subjects will attract you. This is a good time to study or practice astrology.
If you’re a student, this is an excellent time to obtain grants and scholarships from religious, cultural and educational organizations. Whatever the effects of this transit, it will certainly bring changes in your life. Because of the benevolent nature of the sextile, these changes are likely to be quite fortunate. Many new doors of opportunity are opening for you. You must be willing to take the chance and peek through.
Saturn trine Ascendant: 8/29/2015, Exact
enters orb: 8/1/2015, 0.62 deg. orb – leaves orb: 9/16/2015, 1.00 deg. orb
During this transit you will seek to establish yourself as a responsible and respectable person. You will work hard to organize your life, both personal and professional, and keep it running smoothly. You are consistent and reliable in your relationships, and others know they can depend on you. Rather than rebelling or trying to surprise others with your rash actions, you are likely to be more conservative and disciplined now.
At this time you understand the need to acquire experience in your career, and you are more willing than usual to work hard to get ahead. Others will help you, not because you coerce them but because they can see that you are competent and reliable enough to handle increased responsibility. Although you want to succeed, you only want what you deserve and earn. You want to be totally fair and don’t want to be in debt to anyone. This is an excellent time for resolving legal matters. It is also important to you now that you can be totally self-sufficient.
In your relationships you are likely to need more time alone. You are more cautious in forming new relationships and you are more shy than usual. While you don’t have to accept every invitation you are offered now, be careful not to overlook a new friend who can help you. Many people meet a teacher or mentor during this transit, usually someone who is older than them. You probably won’t recognize this person at first as a teacher because they will not fit your usual description of the word.
The only drawback with this transit is that you will tend to resist changes as they begin to take place in your life. You think conservatively and will look to old ways of solving problems rather than coming up with new ones. This is not a problem if you remember to remain flexible.
Pluto square Moon: 9/4/2015, Exact
enters orb: 6/14/2015, 1.70 deg. orb – leaves orb: 9/26/2015, 0.10 deg. orb
This once-in-a-lifetime transit is a very intense time, both psychologically and emotionally. You will be called upon to search deep within yourself at this time, and this can be quite unpleasant if you don’t like what you find. This is a time of serious internal housecleaning. You may also relive painful childhood memories as they now play themselves out again in your present-day life. Therapy or other consciousness-raising activities would be helpful now.
You feel very compulsive emotionally and may be surprised at your own behavior. It’s just that you are undergoing very deep emotional and psychological change now. Do not attempt to avoid these changes; the need for them cannot be ignored. You may become involved in power struggles with others (particularly controlling women) involving manipulation, guilt, jealousy, possessiveness, revenge, and even backstabbing. In such case it will be difficult to see what is happening at the time because the struggle will run underground and will not be openly expressed. You are likely to have power conflicts with those closest to you at this time, especially your mate and parents. Some problem areas are: taxes, insurance, inheritance or divorce settlements.
The outcome of this transit depends in large part on how you react to it. If you make the changes that are necessary at this time (which may include a change in residence or improvement in your present living conditions), you can avoid the build-up of tension that can lead to conflict with others (as well as physical ailments). But if you refuse to acknowledge your need to eliminate situations and things from your life at this time, you will end up as the “victim” and these eliminations will be made for you. You may even have to face the death of a loved one. This is a time of death and rebirth for you psychologically and emotionally. It will go much easier for you if you cooperate in the process.
Jupiter square Neptune: 9/28/2015, Exact
enters orb: 9/20/2015, 1.70 deg. orb – leaves orb: 10/3/2015, 1.00 deg. orb
During this transit you will find that you are often challenged to defend your ideals. In response, you feel more of a need than ever to express your spiritual views in concrete ways. While this presents you with even more challenges, it also helps you to question your own beliefs and to abandon those that are no longer valid in favor of new, more realistic ideals.
This is a time when you will feel like giving freely of your time and resources to those who are in need. Do not become discouraged when you find that some of those you attempt to help now may not want to improve their situation in life. There are others who are more deserving of your helping hand because they are willing to also help themselves. This transit offers you the opportunity to learn to tell the difference. Concentrate your charitable efforts on those who want to “learn to fish” rather than those you want you to continue to “fish” for them.
Like most Jupiter-Neptune contacts, this transit can bring about a dangerous over-optimism–that is, you may feel that no matter what you do, nothing can go wrong. This can cause you to make unwise decisions and to take risks you normally wouldn’t. Be particularly careful in financial dealings; be sure you read the fine print, and don’t rely on “get-rich-quick” schemes. You will be more inclined to gamble now and to trust others whom you wouldn’t ordinarily associate with. Also, you may experience difficulties related to travel, education, religion, or drugs and alcohol.
One final note of caution–beware of false prophets. This transit is a typical time to encounter people who will peddle religious or spiritual ideals in exchange for real material gain for themselves. Be sure a worthy cause is truly worthy before contributing to it.
In summary, this transit offers you many chances for growth through challenges to your existing spiritual ideals. Although at this time you may feel as though you don’t know what to believe, by the time this transit is over you will have expanded your mind (and heart) to include many realities other than your own.
Jupiter square Sun: 10/13/2015, Exact
enters orb: 10/4/2015, 1.70 deg. orb – leaves orb: 10/18/2015, 1.00 deg. orb
During this transit you will feel driven to expand and grow, but you must be careful not to make impulsive decisions or overextend yourself. You have exaggerated expectations of yourself now and may find it difficult (or impossible) to keep all the promises you feel like making.
There may well be genuine opportunities popping up for you at this time, but you must exercise restraint and learn to distinguish the opportunity from the hype. Closely examine your needs at this time so that you can take best advantage of this transit. Most importantly, know when to say no. You’re not really as lucky as you feel. You will tend to overextend yourself in every way during this time.
Often this transit brings arrogance and excessive pride–the darker side of Jupiter. Be sure that you do not appear to be a “know it all” to others who have the power to knock you off your ivory tower. You need to know yourself well enough to tell the difference between an oversized ego and healthy self-confidence.
This time is a test of your self-discipline, for you will be tempted to take risks and gamble with your resources. Although you feel extremely lucky at this time, this is actually not the case. You may believe that nothing can possibly go wrong, but it certainly can. Be very careful about tapping into savings accounts at this time for extravagant expenditures. That nest egg could be more wisely used later when you need it for necessities. Besides, this transit is not known for promoting good taste, and you may not be so happy with your new bauble once the effect of Jupiter has passed.
Conflicts with the law or other authority figures are common under this transit. If you do find yourself in such a position, do not act belligerently or with moral outrage. This will only make it worse for you. Be willing to compromise, even though you know you are totally in the right. Otherwise, others may be in a position to make things difficult for you.

Chiron trine Saturn: 10/27/2015, Exact
enters orb: 9/14/2015, 1.70 deg. orb – leaves orb: 11/28/2015, 0.46 deg. orb
This transit will occur only twice in each 50-year cycle of Chiron. During this time you will closely re-examine your level of commitment in various areas of your life (especially your relationships). You may form a deep, committed relationship, or reach new levels in an existing romance. Or, you may end a long-time partnership after realizing you initially made the commitment for all the “wrong” reasons (usually as a result of duty, obligation or even tradition). If you have shirked your responsibilities toward others in the past, they are likely to come back and haunt you. This gives you the opportunity to do things differently now and deal with others fairly and honestly.
You may change careers during this time, especially if someone else, such as your family or spouse chose your current profession for you. If you’ve enjoyed a relatively secure and stable existence, you may have to tighten your belt and modify your lifestyle in order to adapt to the changing world around you. However, you’re very perceptive now and are quick to come up with creative solutions. Instead of becoming bitter over unfulfilled dreams, learn to give thanks for what you do have. Events in your life are likely to bring many latent problems to the surface to be resolved (mostly related to childhood wounds that have never healed. The more progress you can make toward healing these scars, the easier it will be for you when Chiron squares or opposes your natal Saturn in a few years.
During this time you’ll focus on building the foundation for a new future–one based on your own ideas and life goals, rather than those thrust upon you by others. You realize that you create your reality, and you’re ready to work hard to manifest your own personal and professional success. Others will offer you plenty of advice, but in the end you have to follow your own inner guidance. Once you learn to find and pursue your own destiny, you’ll be able to share your experience and help others do the same.
Uranus conjunct Midheaven: 10/27/2015, Exact
enters orb: 9/13/2015, 1.70 deg. orb – leaves orb: 11/28/2015, 1.00 deg. orb
This transit occurs only once in each 84-year cycle of Uranus. During this time your reputation before the world will go through sudden changes, especially in the area of your career. It may be that your present work situation will become unbearably restrictive and you will seek to break free in order to allow greater freedom expression. If, however, you choose to cling to an old job which has outlived its usefulness, you will encounter upsets and opposition which will eventually force you to let go.
You will break free of any and all situations which have held you back in achieving your goals. If your chosen occupation allows you the freedom to pursue your goals unhindered, you will experience exciting new developments in your life now. In fact, you may receive a sudden promotion. If your present job is in any way restrictive, you will most likely attempt to initiate drastic changes or leave it altogether and begin another. The new career you choose may be surprisingly different from anything you have attempted in the past.
Now would be a good time to take advantage of opportunities in fields associated with Uranus, such as science and technology, astrology or other metaphysical sciences. Whatever you choose to concentrate on, it will be unique and innovative. Exciting opportunities will be presented to you now, many of them with a little help from your friends. It’s up to you to choose the most appropriate.
This transit can indicate revolt against authority figures, especially employers. It may also indicate sudden changes in your relationship with your parents. You will certainly emerge from this transit a much stronger individual and much better able to take on the responsibility of running your own life.
Jupiter is in the 3rd: 10/30/2015, Moving Forwards at Degree 0 in a 31 Degree House
Jupiter is in the 3rd house now, presenting educational and communication opportunities. Neighbors or relatives could be beneficial. Travel is expansive and ideas are more easily conveyed.
Jupiter sextile Saturn: 11/4/2015, Exact
enters orb: 10/28/2015, 1.28 deg. orb – leaves orb: 11/9/2015, 0.75 deg. orb
This transit is one of the few pleasant blends of the energies of Jupiter and Saturn. You are confident and willing to gamble (Jupiter), yet cautious and prudent (Saturn). At this time, you can carefully balance your need for growth with your need for security. You are practical, yet optimistic; hopeful, yet realistic.
You can understand that the events occurring in your life are there to teach you lessons. Therefore, you do not become embittered by obligations that you must face. On the other hand, you are not willing to take on everyone else’s work. Just be sure to balance your heightened sense of responsibility with a little fun and games for Jupiter’s sake.
Financially, this will be a good time. Mostly this is because you are more prudent in your spending, exercising caution in all money matters. This would be a good time to expand your business because your decision to do so will be well-considered. You also have a good eye for potential investments now, but are not easily misled by outrageous promises. Take this opportunity to lay a solid foundation for future business success.
Now is the time to turn your dreams into reality. If they can’t stand the test of the real world, maybe it’s time to adjust your expectations. Business and career opportunities you encounter now are likely to serve you well in the future, and you will receive the recognition you have earned from your peers and superiors. This is also a fortunate time to handle legal matters.
Uranus conjunct Jupiter: 11/8/2015, Exact
enters orb: 9/26/2015, 1.70 deg. orb – leaves orb: 12/26/2015, 0.87 deg. orb
Traditionally, this is a time of great luck and good fortune; whether you are able to hold onto any such windfalls is another question. This transit occurs once every 84 years and therefore usually only once in a person’s lifetime. And indeed you may be presented with opportunities that have a “now or never” quality about them.
You are most certainly feeling restless now and want to break out of your old routine and widen your perspective on life. Unless you find your job extremely stimulating, you may seek a promotion or change in career during this transit. The change you make will undoubtedly be for the best, although it may seem rather radical at the time.
Now would be an excellent time for travel, and you have increased curiosity about and contact with foreign lands or people from other cultures. You will not have much time to be bored during this transit, nor will you be in the mood for it. Because you are receptive to new philosophies and ways of viewing the universe, you will achieve higher understanding of your role in a larger Universal plan. Your sense of intuition is stimulated by this transit, and you may receive psychic insights or have spiritual experiences. At the very least, your interest in metaphysical sciences (including astrology) will grow.
Since you are basically optimistic and feel nothing can go wrong, you are more open to new ideas and concepts. This optimism is healthy, but don’t let it become overconfidence. If you are receiving windfalls now, don’t spend like they will always be there. In fact, with this transit it is possible to lose wealth as quickly as you receive it–expect the unexpected. Be sure you are prepared to let go of any riches you receive now, for they are probably temporary.
You enjoy a good challenge during this transit and may feel like directing some of your energy to fighting for social reform and civil rights. Your freedom is very important to you now and so you have a healthy respect for others’ need for same.
Uranus square Saturn: 11/9/2015, Exact
enters orb: 9/27/2015, 1.70 deg. orb – leaves orb: 12/26/2015, 0.84 deg. orb
This transit occurs only twice in each 84-year cycle of Uranus. You will find that restrictions you have tolerated until this point must go! You feel a strong urge to break free from oppressive relationships and situations, and you will do whatever is necessary in order to do so. For instance, if you’ve been putting up with an unsatisfactory love relationship or job situation because you are afraid you couldn’t make it without the emotional or financial security it offers, now is the time you will decide that nothing is worth the oppression you suffer.
Events and situations will present tests for your belief system, and you may have to reconsider many of your long-held ideas. By the end of this transit, your beliefs will be more based on reality, even though the process may have been unpleasant. You will experience sudden realizations (enlightenment) as to how situations in your life REALLY are and then will have to decide which are still appropriate enough to be included in your life.
You are challenged now to remove anything from your life that is preventing you from realizing your greatest potential, whether this is an outward situation or an inner block. As you look around you are likely to realize that you’ve settled for much less than you want or deserve in life. During this transit you are likely to make abrupt changes without looking back, and others will be very surprised by your actions. This is not a good time to take on major changes in your business or profession. Trust could be an issue in your business associations, and legal conflicts could arise.
Since this is a stressful transit, it can aggravate physical conditions such as ulcers, heart disease, nervous disorders and other tension-related ailments. Be sure to find a release for the frustration you feel now, even if it is no more than talking to an understanding friend.
Saturn sextile Pluto: 11/21/2015, Exact
enters orb: 11/11/2015, 1.28 deg. orb – leaves orb: 11/28/2015, 0.75 deg. orb
You are able to see yourself clearly now and to understand what makes you tick. You are determinedly ambitious and can achieve a great deal if you will focus your attention on one project. You feel very strong and powerful now and are able to withstand considerable difficulty if you have to. Your ability to concentrate is enhanced at this time and you are willing to work very hard to accomplish your goals. You have a keen sense of how hard you can push yourself now without exceeding your limits.
If you can develop a strong sense of self-discipline now, you will maximize the results of your efforts. This is an excellent time to do research or undertake other tasks that require in-depth examination and focus. With this “laser beam” effect you can conserve your energy and yet get tremendous results by knowing how to apply limited amounts of energy and attention at the right time and place. This is an excellent time to pursue a promotion or change to a more challenging job.
Others will respect your hard work and discipline now. This is partially because they can see the changes in you as an individual. They can see that you have given your all and that your success is a reflection of the growth you are undergoing at a deep psychological level. This is a favorable time to study science, mathematics or metaphysics. You may also benefit financially through investment, inheritance, or grants.
Jupiter square Mercury: 12/14/2015, Exact
enters orb: 11/27/2015, 1.70 deg. orb – leaves orb: 1/8/2016, 0.92 deg. orb
If you are now encountering some problems in your communications with others, it may be because you are not listening very well. Likewise, if your business dealings are frustrating at this time, it could be because you are not seeing the trees for the forest. Try not to gloss over critical details, and don’t jump into anything without first considering the consequences. This may be an extremely busy time for you–the phone is ringing off the hook, you feel slightly behind in what you’re doing, and you feel somewhat overwhelmed by all of the activity around you. With everything that is going on around you, it can be hard to keep track of everything.
Your mind is very sharp at this time, and you seek communication with others. You feel very optimistic and have a positive outlook on life. Because you have confidence in your opinions, you are able to communicate your point well to others now. This would be a good time to do some writing or to keep a journal where you record your changing thoughts and ideas.
You want to speak more than you want to listen at this time, and you may have to make a conscious effort to let others put in their two cents’ worth. It will not be easy for you to accept criticism from others now, yet this is exactly what you need to do. Communicating with others can help you to plan and negotiate well during this period, but you must be willing to hear others’ opinions as well as your own. Because your mind needs a challenge, you may feel like changing jobs or residences now. Before investing your bank account in such a decision, be sure the grass is really greener on that side of the fence.
You may engage in debate during this time, or even in an intellectual confrontation (better known as an argument). If you do encounter a quarrel with someone, it may be a good time to reexamine your viewpoint and consider why you are reacting defensively to what they are saying. If your beliefs are well founded, you will hold up well under any attack.
Be careful not to over-commit yourself during this time. You probably feel that you are constantly in motion and that there is never enough time in the day to accomplish your tasks. Allow extra time in your schedule for traffic jams, breakdowns and missed connections; otherwise, you’ll be chronically late. If you take on more than you can handle now, every task will be done sloppily and with no attention to detail. It’s better to accomplish a few jobs professionally than to accomplish many in a slip-shod manner.
Saturn conjunct Neptune: 12/24/2015, Exact
enters orb: 12/9/2015, 1.70 deg. orb – leaves orb: 1/2/2016, 1.00 deg. orb
This transit occurs only once in every 28- to 30-year cycle of Saturn and is often very difficult. During this time you will become very demanding and critical of yourself, as well as others. Your self-esteem is low now, and you are easily made to feel guilty or remorseful. You tend to worry a lot and may even be prone to depression. Though you may not realize it now, your confusion is a product of deep inner changes you are experiencing and is in itself an indication of the breakdown of your resistance to change.
Things are not really as bad as they seem. Your many fears and insecurities are not based on realistic expectations. Just remember that your version of reality is tainted by extreme pessimism. You may seem to be obsessed with negative events and situations in your life but refuse to see or even consider the availability of assistance. Get the opinion of others who are not under the influence of this transit before you conclude that your situation is a hopeless one.
It would be a good idea to have a physical check-up now. Saturn/Neptune combinations traditionally are associated with chronic problems which can exist for a long time undetected. While this does not mean you will definitely have medical problems, it is best to be on the safe side and get a check-up. This is an excellent time to learn meditation or other relaxation techniques. Avoid using drugs or alcohol now, for your tolerance is lower than usual.
Saturn trine Mars: 12/27/2015, Exact
enters orb: 12/13/2015, 1.70 deg. orb – leaves orb: 1/6/2016, 1.00 deg. orb
This is an excellent time for undertaking projects that require a great deal of hard work and concentration. You are able to see your goals in a long-range perspective and to make solid plans to carry them out. Your sense of organization is high now, and you will pay close attention to all details and work determinedly toward your objectives.
Coworkers and superiors will recognize your value now and will respect your diligence and willingness to work hard. You are able to take on complicated projects and work toward a successful conclusion with perseverance. Now is the time to approach that supervisor or government agency for a favor. This is a particularly good time to work with metals or stones or to draw up detailed plans. It’s also good for architecture, engineering, building, manufacturing, or craftsmanship. This combination of Saturn and Mars favors the use of heavy equipment and machinery.
It is not difficult for you to be patient now, for you know that with hard work you will achieve your goals. You don’t expect too much of yourself now and therefore are not likely to become overcommitted. You know that with time and effort you will be rewarded for your deeds. The tasks you take on now will have a lasting impact on your future, although they won’t bring overnight success.
If you are required to compete with others now, they will find you a worthy opponent. You are determined to succeed and will make sure that you are well prepared for any altercation you encounter. Because your actions are well considered and well planned, you will win out over any opponent who acts impulsively.
You are able to focus on your work during this period, and you have the patience to take on large projects and to complete them. Disciplining yourself is easier. You are more in touch with your body in the sense that you see your body for what it is, and you may begin exercise programs during this transit. (This is, incidentally, one of the best aspects for starting an exercise routine, another being Saturn trine Ascendant). Self-discipline and self-motivation, a cooling of the passions, increased focus in work and activities, and a sense of purpose are all themes of this influence. You feel in control of your passions and your impulses, and you face life with more purpose and maturity. You are more practical than usual, and your progress in most projects is perhaps slow but steady.
Chiron trine Saturn: 12/29/2015, Exact
enters orb: 11/28/2015, 0.46 deg. orb – leaves orb: 1/24/2016, 1.00 deg. orb

Saturn trine Moon: 1/19/2016, Exact
enters orb: 1/3/2016, 1.70 deg. orb – leaves orb: 1/31/2016, 1.00 deg. orb
During this time your life will begin to run more smoothly. Finally, your goals and responsibilities are not at odds with your emotional needs, but rather are in harmony with them. You will probably enjoy work more than usual now, as well as your home life; they will complement each other rather than being at odds.
You are able to look at your goals and plans more objectively now and to make careful, well-considered decisions. This is an excellent time to undertake projects to improve your home, business or personal life. It’s a good time to catch up on needed repairs at home, move or buy a new home, or perhaps plan a better budget that also allows you some breathing room.
You will receive much advice, encouragement and understanding from others. Women, especially, will share insights with you that open your eyes to other perspectives. You may enjoy associating with older people now, partly because you yourself are more emotionally mature now than usual. Take this opportunity to request and listen to the advice of elders.
Now is an excellent time to lay down a foundation for your future plans. Decisions made now will be well thought out and probably relatively objective and conservative. You are very practical and patient, so you are less likely to take foolish risks. This is an especially good time for businesses involving food, farming and real estate.
Saturn oppose Sun: 1/23/2016, Exact
enters orb: 1/6/2016, 1.70 deg. orb – leaves orb: 2/4/2016, 1.00 deg. orb
During this transit you may feel overly tired and weighed down by responsibility. Your energies are at the lowest point of the 28- to 30-year Saturn cycle; in addition this transit often is a time of obstacles and opposition from others that you must deal with. Employers and authority figures may be a source of trouble for you, and it is not likely that you will realize much success now. Children may also bring increased duties and responsibilities during this time.
Often people feel old during this period even if they are actually quite young. It is best to watch your health carefully now, especially if you actually are older. Don’t strain yourself or allow pressures to build up to the point of breakdown. Your energy is low now, but once this transit has passed you will be able to carry out all your ambitious plans. For now, watch your health, especially your bones, back, skin, teeth and heart.
This transit is only part of your inner cycle of growth, and you should not fight it. Learn to go with the flow instead of trying to swim upstream when dealing with obstructions. For instance, if you are trapped in an unsatisfying marriage, it may come to an end under the influence of this transit. You find it easier than usual to leave behind relationships that are no longer working. It will be much easier for everyone in your life if you cooperate with the necessary changes taking place now instead of stubbornly resisting them.
At the end of this transit you will begin laying new foundations for future growth. While this time brings many endings, it is followed by a period of new beginnings. Any new projects that you undertake now will be tested in about seven years when Saturn squares your Sun, and you will reach a peak of achievement in about fourteen when Saturn conjuncts your Sun.
Be patient and allow this part of your cycle to pass. There are new opportunities around the corner. You are undergoing rapid changes now, and it is better to let this influence pass before beginning new projects.

If you are now encountering some problems in your communications with others, it may be because you are not listening very well. Likewise, if your business dealings are frustrating at this time, it could be because you are not seeing the trees for the forest. Try not to gloss over critical details, and don’t jump into anything without first considering the consequences. This may be an extremely busy time for you–the phone is ringing off the hook, you feel slightly behind in what you’re doing, and you feel somewhat overwhelmed by all of the activity around you. With everything that is going on around you, it can be hard to keep track of everything.
Your mind is very sharp at this time, and you seek communication with others. You feel very optimistic and have a positive outlook on life. Because you have confidence in your opinions, you are able to communicate your point well to others now. This would be a good time to do some writing or to keep a journal where you record your changing thoughts and ideas.
You want to speak more than you want to listen at this time, and you may have to make a conscious effort to let others put in their two cents’ worth. It will not be easy for you to accept criticism from others now, yet this is exactly what you need to do. Communicating with others can help you to plan and negotiate well during this period, but you must be willing to hear others’ opinions as well as your own. Because your mind needs a challenge, you may feel like changing jobs or residences now. Before investing your bank account in such a decision, be sure the grass is really greener on that side of the fence.
You may engage in debate during this time, or even in an intellectual confrontation (better known as an argument). If you do encounter a quarrel with someone, it may be a good time to reexamine your viewpoint and consider why you are reacting defensively to what they are saying. If your beliefs are well founded, you will hold up well under any attack.
Be careful not to over-commit yourself during this time. You probably feel that you are constantly in motion and that there is never enough time in the day to accomplish your tasks. Allow extra time in your schedule for traffic jams, breakdowns and missed connections; otherwise, you’ll be chronically late. If you take on more than you can handle now, every task will be done sloppily and with no attention to detail. It’s better to accomplish a few jobs professionally than to accomplish many in a slip-shod manner.
Uranus square Saturn: 2/8/2016, Exact
enters orb: 12/26/2015, 0.84 deg. orb – leaves orb: 3/2/2016, 1.00 deg. orb
This transit occurs only twice in each 84-year cycle of Uranus. You will find that restrictions you have tolerated until this point must go! You feel a strong urge to break free from oppressive relationships and situations, and you will do whatever is necessary in order to do so. For instance, if you’ve been putting up with an unsatisfactory love relationship or job situation because you are afraid you couldn’t make it without the emotional or financial security it offers, now is the time you will decide that nothing is worth the oppression you suffer.
Events and situations will present tests for your belief system, and you may have to reconsider many of your long-held ideas. By the end of this transit, your beliefs will be more based on reality, even though the process may have been unpleasant. You will experience sudden realizations (enlightenment) as to how situations in your life REALLY are and then will have to decide which are still appropriate enough to be included in your life.
You are challenged now to remove anything from your life that is preventing you from realizing your greatest potential, whether this is an outward situation or an inner block. As you look around you are likely to realize that you’ve settled for much less than you want or deserve in life. During this transit you are likely to make abrupt changes without looking back, and others will be very surprised by your actions. This is not a good time to take on major changes in your business or profession. Trust could be an issue in your business associations, and legal conflicts could arise.
Since this is a stressful transit, it can aggravate physical conditions such as ulcers, heart disease, nervous disorders and other tension-related ailments. Be sure to find a release for the frustration you feel now, even if it is no more than talking to an understanding friend.
Uranus conjunct Jupiter: 2/9/2016, Exact
enters orb: 12/26/2015, 0.87 deg. orb – leaves orb: 3/3/2016, 1.00 deg. orb
Traditionally, this is a time of great luck and good fortune; whether you are able to hold onto any such windfalls is another question. This transit occurs once every 84 years and therefore usually only once in a person’s lifetime. And indeed you may be presented with opportunities that have a “now or never” quality about them.
You are most certainly feeling restless now and want to break out of your old routine and widen your perspective on life. Unless you find your job extremely stimulating, you may seek a promotion or change in career during this transit. The change you make will undoubtedly be for the best, although it may seem rather radical at the time.
Now would be an excellent time for travel, and you have increased curiosity about and contact with foreign lands or people from other cultures. You will not have much time to be bored during this transit, nor will you be in the mood for it. Because you are receptive to new philosophies and ways of viewing the universe, you will achieve higher understanding of your role in a larger Universal plan. Your sense of intuition is stimulated by this transit, and you may receive psychic insights or have spiritual experiences. At the very least, your interest in metaphysical sciences (including astrology) will grow.
Since you are basically optimistic and feel nothing can go wrong, you are more open to new ideas and concepts. This optimism is healthy, but don’t let it become overconfidence. If you are receiving windfalls now, don’t spend like they will always be there. In fact, with this transit it is possible to lose wealth as quickly as you receive it–expect the unexpected. Be sure you are prepared to let go of any riches you receive now, for they are probably temporary.
You enjoy a good challenge during this transit and may feel like directing some of your energy to fighting for social reform and civil rights. Your freedom is very important to you now and so you have a healthy respect for others’ need for same.
Uranus conjunct Midheaven: 2/20/2016, Exact
enters orb: 12/26/2015, 1.32 deg. orb – leaves orb: 3/12/2016, 1.00 deg. orb
This transit occurs only once in each 84-year cycle of Uranus. During this time your reputation before the world will go through sudden changes, especially in the area of your career. It may be that your present work situation will become unbearably restrictive and you will seek to break free in order to allow greater freedom expression. If, however, you choose to cling to an old job which has outlived its usefulness, you will encounter upsets and opposition which will eventually force you to let go.
You will break free of any and all situations which have held you back in achieving your goals. If your chosen occupation allows you the freedom to pursue your goals unhindered, you will experience exciting new developments in your life now. In fact, you may receive a sudden promotion. If your present job is in any way restrictive, you will most likely attempt to initiate drastic changes or leave it altogether and begin another. The new career you choose may be surprisingly different from anything you have attempted in the past.
Now would be a good time to take advantage of opportunities in fields associated with Uranus, such as science and technology, astrology or other metaphysical sciences. Whatever you choose to concentrate on, it will be unique and innovative. Exciting opportunities will be presented to you now, many of them with a little help from your friends. It’s up to you to choose the most appropriate.
This transit can indicate revolt against authority figures, especially employers. It may also indicate sudden changes in your relationship with your parents. You will certainly emerge from this transit a much stronger individual and much better able to take on the responsibility of running your own life.
Uranus is in the 10th: 2/20/2016, Moving Forwards at Degree 0 in a 35 Degree House
Uranus is in the 10th house now. Career goals and conditions could change suddenly, and may seem restrictive. A steep rise or fall in position is possible. Conformity is difficult.
Jupiter sextile Saturn: 3/15/2016, Exact
enters orb: 3/5/2016, 1.28 deg. orb – leaves orb: 3/21/2016, 0.75 deg. orb
This transit is one of the few pleasant blends of the energies of Jupiter and Saturn. You are confident and willing to gamble (Jupiter), yet cautious and prudent (Saturn). At this time, you can carefully balance your need for growth with your need for security. You are practical, yet optimistic; hopeful, yet realistic.
You can understand that the events occurring in your life are there to teach you lessons. Therefore, you do not become embittered by obligations that you must face. On the other hand, you are not willing to take on everyone else’s work. Just be sure to balance your heightened sense of responsibility with a little fun and games for Jupiter’s sake.
Financially, this will be a good time. Mostly this is because you are more prudent in your spending, exercising caution in all money matters. This would be a good time to expand your business because your decision to do so will be well-considered. You also have a good eye for potential investments now, but are not easily misled by outrageous promises. Take this opportunity to lay a solid foundation for future business success.
Now is the time to turn your dreams into reality. If they can’t stand the test of the real world, maybe it’s time to adjust your expectations. Business and career opportunities you encounter now are likely to serve you well in the future, and you will receive the recognition you have earned from your peers and superiors. This is also a fortunate time to handle legal matters.
Neptune square Neptune: 3/22/2016, Exact
enters orb: 2/5/2016, 1.70 deg. orb – leaves orb: 4/22/2016, 1.00 deg. orb
This transit occurs only once in your life (in your early 40s) and is part of what is known as the mid-life crisis. You’ll use this time to review your life, question whether you have or will ever fulfill your goals, and make changes if needed. Be careful not to make changes on a whim, however, because your judgment is not at its best under Neptune’s influence. If you act too rashly, you could endanger your home, family life or career. Remember that your emotions are more unstable than usual now.
Remember that you do not know everything there is to know about yourself, even at your “old” age. It’s time to see some truths in your life that you have been avoiding by reassessing your goals in life. You may decide that you’ve been pursuing ideals that you no longer value. Allow yourself to be guided through this transit, just don’t make any hard-and-fast commitments that cannot be broken later. You will emerge from this transit with new insights that will greatly change your outlook on life.
You are very interested in psychic, mystical and metaphysical subjects, yet your quest into these otherworldly areas will be disappointing, or even unpleasant. Avoid mind-altering substances such as drugs and alcohol, as you are more prone than usual to addiction.
This is a good time to practice yoga and meditation. If you should feel the need to seek the counsel of another at this time, it is best to consult persons who are not in your immediate age group. Your peers are also going through this same transit and will not be able to provide objective guidance at this time.
Saturn trine Jupiter: 3/25/2016, 1.03 deg. orb
enters orb: 2/25/2016, 1.70 deg. orb – leaves orb: 3/25/2016, 1.03 deg. orb
You are more organized than usual now, and your business affairs are likely to run smoothly. If you are willing to work hard now, you can establish solid foundations in your life upon which to build for your future. Although things work out better than usual now, this is not merely a run of luck; you’ve worked for everything you will get. With your healthy mix of optimism and caution, you can accomplish a great deal.
This is an excellent time for career advancement, especially in areas related to politics, law, science, education, religion, travel or business administration. Supervisors and authority figures who are in a position to help you will do so now. They can see that you are a worthwhile investment and realize that they too will benefit from becoming your allies. Since you are willing to compromise and cooperate now, you can team up with others and accomplish a great deal more than you could on your own.
It is easy for you to plan for the future now because you have a clear vision of where you want to go in life. But you also have patience and a willingness to work steadily toward your goals. You are practical enough to see that achieving them will take time and don’t expect to reach the top tomorrow. Now is a good time to make long-range plans and to organize your life accordingly. It would also be wise to utilize this fortuitous combination of good luck (Jupiter) and practicality (Saturn) by putting some money aside or investing in a carefully considered project.
During this time you may receive valuable counsel from persons who are much older than you. The more you can humble yourself and respect their wisdom, the more you will grow through your association with such teachers.
Saturn trine Midheaven: 3/25/2016, 1.48 deg. orb
enters orb: 3/8/2016, 1.70 deg. orb – leaves orb: 3/25/2016, 1.48 deg. orb
At this time you are self-assured enough to accomplish a great deal–both at a deep inner level and in the outside world. You can plan well for the future now in a practical way in order to ensure that you will reach your ultimate goals in life. You prefer to work on your own now and feel driven to prove to yourself (and also to others) that you are capable and competent. But remember, this doesn’t mean you can’t accept help when you need it.
This is a good time to develop self-discipline and to plan a strategy for achieving your future goals. You may be overly cautious and wary of radically new ideas, especially in your career. But you shouldn’t resist the changes that are taking place. Making them now will save you from even more upheaval when Saturn makes its next hard aspect to your Midheaven. Don’t become too rigid or conservative in your thinking.
At this time you will go through a weeding out process in terms of your attitudes toward work, responsibility, change, and authority figures (among other things). You will consider whether your present attitudes are really your own independent ones or whether you have inherited a set from your family and friends along the way. It is not easy to let go of these inheritances because they hold such sentimental value. But the question should be whether they are helping or hindering your growth.
It is best to deal with such questions now rather than suppress the feelings that come up during this transit. Be willing to make necessary changes, even if it seems risky at the time. Now is an excellent time to resolve conflicts with the law or other authority figures.
Pluto oppose Saturn: 3/29/2016, Exact
enters orb: 1/19/2016, 1.70 deg. orb – leaves orb: 4/18/2016, 0.10 deg. orb
During this once–in-a-lifetime transit, events and circumstances in your life will provoke many changes in you. People and things which you have deeply valued will pass from your life, even though you may hold onto them as tightly as possible. Personal and professional relationships will be filled with power plays, and many will end during this time. Solid relationships will endure the effects of this transit, although they are likely to be transformed.
You will probably work very hard toward your goals now, although you will not make much progress. It’s difficult for you to gain the respect and support of those in authority over you, and they may be very demanding. Be careful not to work so hard that you neglect your health; you are subject to stress-related ailments now, particularly involving your bones, teeth and skin.
Your resources are limited now, and you may have to discipline yourself to get by on less than usual. At the same time, your obligations and responsibilities seem to increase. You may be plagued by guilt and feelings of inadequacy, and your frustration over lack of progress in your life can lead to depression. Change is being thrust upon you now, and your attempts to resist it are making matters worse. Stop struggling so hard and try to cooperate with the changes taking place within you and around you.
Chiron square Mercury: 4/1/2016, Exact
enters orb: 3/3/2016, 1.70 deg. orb – leaves orb: 4/19/2016, 1.00 deg. orb
This transit will occur only twice in each 50-year cycle of Chiron. Your mind is likely to be very active now, and you’re full of new, innovative ideas and insights. However, it may be more difficult than you think (though not impossible) to clearly communicate your newfound concepts to others. This is an excellent time to attend college, especially if you’re returning at a later age. You feel driven to expand your mind and learn new things, but you must not expect miracles of yourself. Learn to be patient and allow things to come to you in their own time. You may even dabble in metaphysics, magic, or past-life memories.
If you carry childhood wounds related to your early education (and opinions you formed about yourself at that time), they may be reopened now. Although this may be painful for you, it is the first step toward healing these old scars forever. If too much emphasis was placed on academic achievement during your childhood (or if you were treated as an intellectual inferior), now is the time to break through such early conditioning and develop renewed confidence in yourself and your mental abilities. It’s also a good time to tell others what’s really on your mind. Just be careful that you don’t become overly opinionated and stubborn. Remember, you’re likely to catch more flies with honey than with vinegar.
Once your curiosity kicks in and the ideas start pouring in, you may have the opportunity to begin a new business venture (especially in the areas of writing, the media, education, or counseling). This is a good time to explore holistic health practices, and you may even look into a career in the healing professions. During this transit you’ll find that you can heal (or wound) with words alone. Be sure to allow for leisure time in your busy schedule. Otherwise, you risk suffering from nervous exhaustion and other stress-related health problems. Once you’ve learned to clear your mind, pace yourself and avoid stress, you can teach others to do likewise.
Pluto square Jupiter: 4/1/2016, Exact
enters orb: 1/20/2016, 1.70 deg. orb – leaves orb: 4/18/2016, 0.07 deg. orb
This once-in-a-lifetime transit can be an extremely fortunate time, especially for your career, or it can be frustrating and disappointing. How it turns out will largely depend on your attitude. Now is not the time to pursue a “get rich quick” scheme or to take on seemingly impossible tasks. Such gambles are likely to backfire, especially if you are arrogant and demanding toward others. The more self-righteous you are feeling now, the greater danger there is of a negative outcome.
You feel optimistic now, and you fully expect your efforts to succeed. This could indeed happen, but only if you are able to recognize that others’ needs are as important as yours. You’ll make a lot more progress if you can develop a sense of compromise and cooperation rather than having wild expectations that you demand others live up to. No one enjoys being pushed around. This transit is an unfavorable time for legal conflicts, especially those involving taxes, insurance, loans, corporate affairs or inheritances.
It is possible that during this transit you will encounter charismatic individuals or groups of a religious or metaphysical nature. The only danger is that you may become obsessed with ideas which you then attempt to force onto others. On the other hand, you may find yourself the victim of someone else’s attempt to force their ideas on you. At the worst extreme, such power struggles may result in legal problems or even arrest.
Pluto square Midheaven: 4/18/2016, 0.38 deg. orb
enters orb: 2/2/2016, 1.70 deg. orb – leaves orb: 6/9/2016, 1.00 deg. orb
You may encounter power struggles and resistance from others during this once-in-a-lifetime transit, especially if you do not make a conscious effort to be more compromising. During this period you are more aggressive than ever about achieving your goals in life, although you may not have the necessary tact and diplomacy to pull it off. This causes others to take the defensive stand and try to bring you down a peg or two. Be sure to consider the needs and sensitivities of others on your way to the top. Otherwise, you may find that they can bring you down later.
It is also possible that you will perceive others in this way–as aggressive and insensitive to your needs. They may try to force their own ideas or rules on you. The positive side of this is that it forces you to defend yourself and to get clear on what you do and do not want. The changes that are taking place within and around you (in whatever form) are ultimately good ones, and the transformative process will be much more painless if you don’t resist. After this transit has passed you will look back and marvel that you are the same person you were before it began.
Changes are likely in your domestic life because any repressed feelings of anger or resentment will surface now. You must deal with them directly; they will not go away. If you and your partner are willing to create a whole new relationship, your partnership will remain intact. Otherwise, if the relationship will not change with you, you will have to leave it.
This transit may also indicate a time of needed repairs on a physical level. Maybe your house will need repairs, or equipment will break down and have to be replaced. Your physical health or that of your family could be affected. Perhaps a change of residence is in the works for you now. This change of address would give you a new perspective on old problems and allow you to sort things out.
Jupiter square Sun: 4/28/2016, Exact
enters orb: 4/3/2016, 1.70 deg. orb – leaves orb: 5/9/2016, 0.16 deg. orb
During this transit you will feel driven to expand and grow, but you must be careful not to make impulsive decisions or overextend yourself. You have exaggerated expectations of yourself now and may find it difficult (or impossible) to keep all the promises you feel like making.
There may well be genuine opportunities popping up for you at this time, but you must exercise restraint and learn to distinguish the opportunity from the hype. Closely examine your needs at this time so that you can take best advantage of this transit. Most importantly, know when to say no. You’re not really as lucky as you feel. You will tend to overextend yourself in every way during this time.
Often this transit brings arrogance and excessive pride–the darker side of Jupiter. Be sure that you do not appear to be a “know it all” to others who have the power to knock you off your ivory tower. You need to know yourself well enough to tell the difference between an oversized ego and healthy self-confidence.
This time is a test of your self-discipline, for you will be tempted to take risks and gamble with your resources. Although you feel extremely lucky at this time, this is actually not the case. You may believe that nothing can possibly go wrong, but it certainly can. Be very careful about tapping into savings accounts at this time for extravagant expenditures. That nest egg could be more wisely used later when you need it for necessities. Besides, this transit is not known for promoting good taste, and you may not be so happy with your new bauble once the effect of Jupiter has passed.
Conflicts with the law or other authority figures are common under this transit. If you do find yourself in such a position, do not act belligerently or with moral outrage. This will only make it worse for you. Be willing to compromise, even though you know you are totally in the right. Otherwise, others may be in a position to make things difficult for you.

enters orb: 4/19/2016, 1.28 deg. orb – leaves orb: 5/29/2016, 0.75 deg. orb
This transit occurs only twice in each 84-year cycle of Uranus, and it greatly stimulates your mental processes and your communication with others. Life seems exciting and interesting now, and you will avoid any situations that promise to be boring. You may meet new friends and make new contacts now, and they will be wildly different from those you have enjoyed in the past. They are only one manifestation of the changes taking place within you.
You may feel like traveling and expanding your perception of the world. Your mental perception is very acute now, and nothing around you goes unnoticed. You are able to make constructive changes in your way of thinking and are receptive to new ideas and suggestions. In fact, it doesn’t even bother you to be proven wrong at this time; you appreciate learning something new.
With your heightened sense of curiosity, this is a good time to begin study on a new subject. Unfortunately, however, this transit does not provide the self-discipline required to do extensive research or stick to one project for a long time. If you get bored, you are likely to abandon your studies. Especially good areas for learning at this time are science, technological studies (especially electronics and computer science) and mathematics. Astrology and other occult sciences are also of great interest to you now.
Since you are feeling so liberated now, you may be in a rather impish mood and may even be inclined to play pranks on others. Sometimes this may be done to someone you consider to have an over-inflated ego in order to bring them down a notch. Try not to expect everyone else to share your new way of looking at things. Allow them their own areas of narrow-mindedness. You are highly intuitive now and may discover your own psychic abilities.

During this transit you may feel overly tired and weighed down by responsibility. Your energies are at the lowest point of the 28- to 30-year Saturn cycle; in addition this transit often is a time of obstacles and opposition from others that you must deal with. Employers and authority figures may be a source of trouble for you, and it is not likely that you will realize much success now. Children may also bring increased duties and responsibilities during this time.
Often people feel old during this period even if they are actually quite young. It is best to watch your health carefully now, especially if you actually are older. Don’t strain yourself or allow pressures to build up to the point of breakdown. Your energy is low now, but once this transit has passed you will be able to carry out all your ambitious plans. For now, watch your health, especially your bones, back, skin, teeth and heart.
This transit is only part of your inner cycle of growth, and you should not fight it. Learn to go with the flow instead of trying to swim upstream when dealing with obstructions. For instance, if you are trapped in an unsatisfying marriage, it may come to an end under the influence of this transit. You find it easier than usual to leave behind relationships that are no longer working. It will be much easier for everyone in your life if you cooperate with the necessary changes taking place now instead of stubbornly resisting them.
At the end of this transit you will begin laying new foundations for future growth. While this time brings many endings, it is followed by a period of new beginnings. Any new projects that you undertake now will be tested in about seven years when Saturn squares your Sun, and you will reach a peak of achievement in about fourteen when Saturn conjuncts your Sun.
Be patient and allow this part of your cycle to pass. There are new opportunities around the corner. You are undergoing rapid changes now, and it is better to let this influence pass before beginning new projects.

During this time your life will begin to run more smoothly. Finally, your goals and responsibilities are not at odds with your emotional needs, but rather are in harmony with them. You will probably enjoy work more than usual now, as well as your home life; they will complement each other rather than being at odds.
You are able to look at your goals and plans more objectively now and to make careful, well-considered decisions. This is an excellent time to undertake projects to improve your home, business or personal life. It’s a good time to catch up on needed repairs at home, move or buy a new home, or perhaps plan a better budget that also allows you some breathing room.
You will receive much advice, encouragement and understanding from others. Women, especially, will share insights with you that open your eyes to other perspectives. You may enjoy associating with older people now, partly because you yourself are more emotionally mature now than usual. Take this opportunity to request and listen to the advice of elders.
Now is an excellent time to lay down a foundation for your future plans. Decisions made now will be well thought out and probably relatively objective and conservative. You are very practical and patient, so you are less likely to take foolish risks. This is an especially good time for businesses involving food, farming and real estate.

enters orb: 5/9/2016, 1.70 deg. orb – leaves orb: 6/16/2016, 1.38 deg. orb
During this once-in-a-lifetime transit you will feel insecure and uncertain about your goals and plans for your future. Even if you’ve usually had good judgment in such matters, you can’t trust your instincts now. At this time you will have reason to re-examine your strongest convictions about life and contemplate needed changes. Although you may come to some realizations now about areas of discontent in your life, you don’t have much energy to do anything about it. You are highly vulnerable now; in order to avoid physical illness at this time, be sure to treat yourself well and get plenty of proper nourishment and rest.
You are likely to encounter repeated disappointments in your life now, particularly in your career. At times you may feel as though you are a failure, and you may have to fight the tendency toward depression and hopelessness that this transit can bring. You must realize that your overall energy level is low now and you do not have as much enthusiasm to put into your efforts. Although you may feel like doing so, it is not advisable to pull back completely from dealings with others through isolation, drugs or alcohol. If you focus only on your problems, they will become exaggerated and overwhelm you.
Others may try to persuade you to join in projects that you don’t really believe in. Clandestine love affairs or romantic deception are common under this transit. Your judgment is cloudy now, so be careful who you take into your confidence. Be sure that you are true to your own ideals now and don’t commit yourself to help someone just because you feel sorry for them. Now is the time to learn who you are, not to save the world.
You should avoid involvement in mystical or religious sects during this transit. Now is the time for a private journey inward, and the teachings of such a group would actually hinder your progress. You need to focus on your inner self rather than blend into a larger group; otherwise the group itself may become an escape from the inner reflection you need now. Occult practices may have unpleasant or even destructive outcomes.
Do not take chances with economic investments now, and by all means avoid any “get rich quick” schemes. Others may deceive you now, and you are less likely to see this because you idealistically want to believe that everyone’s character is spotless. Now is not a good time to change careers or make other important moves regarding your life goals. This is a time of reflection and introspection, not action.
Jupiter is in the 3rd: 6/27/2016, Moving Forwards at Degree 0 in a 31 Degree House
Jupiter is in the 3rd house now, presenting educational and communication opportunities. Neighbors or relatives could be beneficial. Travel is expansive and ideas are more easily conveyed.
Jupiter sextile Saturn: 7/2/2016, Exact
enters orb: 6/23/2016, 1.28 deg. orb – leaves orb: 7/8/2016, 0.75 deg. orb
This transit is one of the few pleasant blends of the energies of Jupiter and Saturn. You are confident and willing to gamble (Jupiter), yet cautious and prudent (Saturn). At this time, you can carefully balance your need for growth with your need for security. You are practical, yet optimistic; hopeful, yet realistic.
You can understand that the events occurring in your life are there to teach you lessons. Therefore, you do not become embittered by obligations that you must face. On the other hand, you are not willing to take on everyone else’s work. Just be sure to balance your heightened sense of responsibility with a little fun and games for Jupiter’s sake.
Financially, this will be a good time. Mostly this is because you are more prudent in your spending, exercising caution in all money matters. This would be a good time to expand your business because your decision to do so will be well-considered. You also have a good eye for potential investments now, but are not easily misled by outrageous promises. Take this opportunity to lay a solid foundation for future business success.
Now is the time to turn your dreams into reality. If they can’t stand the test of the real world, maybe it’s time to adjust your expectations. Business and career opportunities you encounter now are likely to serve you well in the future, and you will receive the recognition you have earned from your peers and superiors. This is also a fortunate time to handle legal matters.
Saturn trine Mars: 7/8/2016, Exact
enters orb: 6/12/2016, 1.70 deg. orb – leaves orb: 8/13/2016, 0.96 deg. orb
This is an excellent time for undertaking projects that require a great deal of hard work and concentration. You are able to see your goals in a long-range perspective and to make solid plans to carry them out. Your sense of organization is high now, and you will pay close attention to all details and work determinedly toward your objectives.
Coworkers and superiors will recognize your value now and will respect your diligence and willingness to work hard. You are able to take on complicated projects and work toward a successful conclusion with perseverance. Now is the time to approach that supervisor or government agency for a favor. This is a particularly good time to work with metals or stones or to draw up detailed plans. It’s also good for architecture, engineering, building, manufacturing, or craftsmanship. This combination of Saturn and Mars favors the use of heavy equipment and machinery.
It is not difficult for you to be patient now, for you know that with hard work you will achieve your goals. You don’t expect too much of yourself now and therefore are not likely to become overcommitted. You know that with time and effort you will be rewarded for your deeds. The tasks you take on now will have a lasting impact on your future, although they won’t bring overnight success.
If you are required to compete with others now, they will find you a worthy opponent. You are determined to succeed and will make sure that you are well prepared for any altercation you encounter. Because your actions are well considered and well planned, you will win out over any opponent who acts impulsively.
You are able to focus on your work during this period, and you have the patience to take on large projects and to complete them. Disciplining yourself is easier. You are more in touch with your body in the sense that you see your body for what it is, and you may begin exercise programs during this transit. (This is, incidentally, one of the best aspects for starting an exercise routine, another being Saturn trine Ascendant).
Self-discipline and self-motivation, a cooling of the passions, increased focus in work and activities, and a sense of purpose are all themes of this influence. You feel in control of your passions and your impulses, and you face life with more purpose and maturity. You are more practical than usual, and your progress in most projects is perhaps slow but steady.
Saturn conjunct Neptune: 7/16/2016, Exact
enters orb: 6/17/2016, 1.70 deg. orb – leaves orb: 8/13/2016, 0.58 deg. orb
This transit occurs only once in every 28- to 30-year cycle of Saturn and is often very difficult. During this time you will become very demanding and critical of yourself, as well as others. Your self-esteem is low now, and you are easily made to feel guilty or remorseful. You tend to worry a lot and may even be prone to depression. Though you may not realize it now, your confusion is a product of deep inner changes you are experiencing and is in itself an indication of the breakdown of your resistance to change.
Things are not really as bad as they seem. Your many fears and insecurities are not based on realistic expectations. Just remember that your version of reality is tainted by extreme pessimism. You may seem to be obsessed with negative events and situations in your life but refuse to see or even consider the availability of assistance. Get the opinion of others who are not under the influence of this transit before you conclude that your situation is a hopeless one.
It would be a good idea to have a physical check-up now. Saturn/Neptune combinations traditionally are associated with chronic problems which can exist for a long time undetected. While this does not mean you will definitely have medical problems, it is best to be on the safe side and get a check-up. This is an excellent time to learn meditation or other relaxation techniques. Avoid using drugs or alcohol now, for your tolerance is lower than usual.

If you are now encountering some problems in your communications with others, it may be because you are not listening very well. Likewise, if your business dealings are frustrating at this time, it could be because you are not seeing the trees for the forest. Try not to gloss over critical details, and don’t jump into anything without first considering the consequences. This may be an extremely busy time for you–the phone is ringing off the hook, you feel slightly behind in what you’re doing, and you feel somewhat overwhelmed by all of the activity around you. With everything that is going on around you, it can be hard to keep track of everything.
Your mind is very sharp at this time, and you seek communication with others. You feel very optimistic and have a positive outlook on life. Because you have confidence in your opinions, you are able to communicate your point well to others now. This would be a good time to do some writing or to keep a journal where you record your changing thoughts and ideas.
You want to speak more than you want to listen at this time, and you may have to make a conscious effort to let others put in their two cents’ worth. It will not be easy for you to accept criticism from others now, yet this is exactly what you need to do. Communicating with others can help you to plan and negotiate well during this period, but you must be willing to hear others’ opinions as well as your own. Because your mind needs a challenge, you may feel like changing jobs or residences now. Before investing your bank account in such a decision, be sure the grass is really greener on that side of the fence.
You may engage in debate during this time, or even in an intellectual confrontation (better known as an argument). If you do encounter a quarrel with someone, it may be a good time to reexamine your viewpoint and consider why you are reacting defensively to what they are saying. If your beliefs are well founded, you will hold up well under any attack.
Be careful not to over-commit yourself during this time. You probably feel that you are constantly in motion and that there is never enough time in the day to accomplish your tasks. Allow extra time in your schedule for traffic jams, breakdowns and missed connections; otherwise, you’ll be chronically late. If you take on more than you can handle now, every task will be done sloppily and with no attention to detail. It’s better to accomplish a few jobs professionally than to accomplish many in a slip-shod manner.
Jupiter sextile Venus: 8/31/2016, Exact
enters orb: 8/25/2016, 1.28 deg. orb – leaves orb: 9/3/2016, 0.75 deg. orb
This is a very pleasant transit, especially in the areas of love and money (both ruled by Venus). You feel optimistic and have a positive attitude about life. Because of this you can attract love and/or money to you like a magnet. This is an excellent time to relax or entertain friends, as well as for travel to foreign lands. Even business trips would be very pleasurable (and fortuitous) now, especially those involving publishing, education or cultural exchange.
You get along well with people now and project a feeling of love and friendliness. This transit can bring a new love into your life, or it can add some romance to an existing relationship. You will definitely be more attractive to others and will feel like flirting and having a good time. Make yourself conspicuously available for romance during this time.
Now is a good time for an interview or other situation in which you need to make a good impression. You relate to others with sincerity and warmth. You feel more like compromising during this transit, and you know how to smooth others’ ruffled feathers.
Your finances should pick up during this transit, but be careful not to spend your money as soon as you get it. Think twice before purchasing flashy or extravagant items now. They might not look so good to you once this transit has passed. You will enjoy surrounding yourself with beauty and art and have little tolerance for unpleasant or ugly surroundings.
Jupiter sextile Ascendant: 9/3/2016, Exact
enters orb: 8/28/2016, 1.27 deg. orb – leaves orb: 9/7/2016, 0.75 deg. orb
At this time your friends are literally your greatest assets; it is an excellent time for working with a group or even just a few partners, and you may have the opportunity to do so during this time. These opportunities will come from the most unsuspected quarters–from friends who were previously only casual acquaintances.
This transit can also indicate a time of travel. Whether you travel physically or through your mind, your awareness of the world will broaden. Perhaps you will meet new friends who are from radically different cultures than yours and will grow to understand that foreigners are merely different, not strange. You may form lasting friendships with people of varied backgrounds at this time. You are open-minded enough now to drop any previously held prejudices and accept people as they are.
It is also possible that an old friend will re-enter your life, bringing a business opportunity of some sort. Or you may follow a lead given by a friend that turns out to be a fantastic opportunity for growth (economic or personal). At this time you also feel quite benevolent toward others and are willing to help any who need your assistance.
You will experience a sort of “instant karma” with those around you. Whatever you put out–which right now is mostly kindness and generosity–you will get back very quickly, although not always from the same source. You feel optimistic and confident now, and you can’t sit by and just watch others who are suffering.
It is obvious to others during this time that you will deal with them honorably and equitably. In turn, they feel they can treat you in the same fashion. Business negotiations and legal affairs should go very well at this time. Just don’t let your optimism lead you to promise more than you can deliver.
Saturn conjunct Neptune: 9/8/2016, Exact

Neptune square Neptune: 9/12/2016, Exact
enters orb: 6/17/2016, 1.70 deg. orb – leaves orb: 11/1/2016, 1.00 deg. orb
This transit occurs only once in your life (in your early 40s) and is part of what is known as the mid-life crisis. You’ll use this time to review your life, question whether you have or will ever fulfill your goals, and make changes if needed. Be careful not to make changes on a whim, however, because your judgment is not at its best under Neptune’s influence. If you act too rashly, you could endanger your home, family life or career. Remember that your emotions are more unstable than usual now.
Remember that you do not know everything there is to know about yourself, even at your “old” age. It’s time to see some truths in your life that you have been avoiding by reassessing your goals in life. You may decide that you’ve been pursuing ideals that you no longer value. Allow yourself to be guided through this transit, just don’t make any hard-and-fast commitments that cannot be broken later. You will emerge from this transit with new insights that will greatly change your outlook on life.
You are very interested in psychic, mystical and metaphysical subjects, yet your quest into these otherworldly areas will be disappointing, or even unpleasant. Avoid mind-altering substances such as drugs and alcohol, as you are more prone than usual to addiction.
This is a good time to practice yoga and meditation. If you should feel the need to seek the counsel of another at this time, it is best to consult persons who are not in your immediate age group. Your peers are also going through this same transit and will not be able to provide objective guidance at this time.
Saturn trine Mars: 9/16/2016, Exact
enters orb: 8/13/2016, 0.96 deg. orb – leaves orb: 10/2/2016, 1.00 deg. orb
This is an excellent time for undertaking projects that require a great deal of hard work and concentration. You are able to see your goals in a long-range perspective and to make solid plans to carry them out. Your sense of organization is high now, and you will pay close attention to all details and work determinedly toward your objectives.
Coworkers and superiors will recognize your value now and will respect your diligence and willingness to work hard. You are able to take on complicated projects and work toward a successful conclusion with perseverance. Now is the time to approach that supervisor or government agency for a favor. This is a particularly good time to work with metals or stones or to draw up detailed plans. It’s also good for architecture, engineering, building, manufacturing, or craftsmanship. This combination of Saturn and Mars favors the use of heavy equipment and machinery.
It is not difficult for you to be patient now, for you know that with hard work you will achieve your goals. You don’t expect too much of yourself now and therefore are not likely to become overcommitted. You know that with time and effort you will be rewarded for your deeds. The tasks you take on now will have a lasting impact on your future, although they won’t bring overnight success.

Chiron square Mercury: 9/28/2016, Exact
enters orb: 8/21/2016, 1.70 deg. orb – leaves orb: 10/23/2016, 1.00 deg. orb
This transit will occur only twice in each 50-year cycle of Chiron. Your mind is likely to be very active now, and you’re full of new, innovative ideas and insights. However, it may be more difficult than you think (though not impossible) to clearly communicate your newfound concepts to others. This is an excellent time to attend college, especially if you’re returning at a later age. You feel driven to expand your mind and learn new things, but you must not expect miracles of yourself. Learn to be patient and allow things to come to you in their own time. You may even dabble in metaphysics, magic, or past-life memories.
If you carry childhood wounds related to your early education (and opinions you formed about yourself at that time), they may be reopened now. Although this may be painful for you, it is the first step toward healing these old scars forever. If too much emphasis was placed on academic achievement during your childhood (or if you were treated as an intellectual inferior), now is the time to break through such early conditioning and develop renewed confidence in yourself and your mental abilities. It’s also a good time to tell others what’s really on your mind. Just be careful that you don’t become overly opinionated and stubborn. Remember, you’re likely to catch more flies with honey than with vinegar.
Once your curiosity kicks in and the ideas start pouring in, you may have the opportunity to begin a new business venture (especially in the areas of writing, the media, education, or counseling). This is a good time to explore holistic health practices, and you may even look into a career in the healing professions. During this transit you’ll find that you can heal (or wound) with words alone. Be sure to allow for leisure time in your busy schedule. Otherwise, you risk suffering from nervous exhaustion and other stress-related health problems. Once you’ve learned to clear your mind, pace yourself and avoid stress, you can teach others to do likewise.
Jupiter conjunct Pluto: 10/9/2016, Exact
enters orb: 10/1/2016, 1.70 deg. orb – leaves orb: 10/14/2016, 1.00 deg. orb
The dominant issue signified by this transit (which occurs only once every 12 years) is the use and/or abuse of power. You will feel more compelled than usual to strive for success (whatever that means to you), and indeed this transit often signifies the culmination of long-time efforts in recognition and reward.
You may rise to a position of power now (again, according to your own terms), even if you are not trying to. Just be careful how you get to those heights you’re seeking. If you step on others to get there, your ill-gotten gains will not last long. Pluto transits are very karmic in nature. Whatever you do unto others now will be done to you later (or later). Your own psychic abilities are heightened by this transit, and psychic or mystical experiences are common. This is also an excellent time for business or legal matters.
Since you have this overpowering desire to achieve, you need to find a creative outlet for it. Otherwise, you will become restless and will find yourself challenging authority figures in an effort to test you power. Now is an excellent time to do research, do your taxes, or plan an archaeological expedition. Whatever task you need to take on, you will throw yourself into it wholeheartedly. It’s a much better option than spending the night in jail for harassing a police officer.
The best way to express this transit is to turn the energy on yourself. Strive to make yourself “better” (again, whatever that means to you) and seek out experiences that will deepen your experience of life. Be careful not to be greedy if it seems that success comes easy now. There are other powers in the Universe much greater than money, such as the power to transform and to heal yourself and others.

enters orb: 9/27/2016, 1.70 deg. orb – leaves orb: 10/28/2016, 1.00 deg. orb
During this time your life will begin to run more smoothly. Finally, your goals and responsibilities are not at odds with your emotional needs, but rather are in harmony with them. You will probably enjoy work more than usual now, as well as your home life; they will complement each other rather than being at odds.
You are able to look at your goals and plans more objectively now and to make careful, well-considered decisions. This is an excellent time to undertake projects to improve your home, business or personal life. It’s a good time to catch up on needed repairs at home, move or buy a new home, or perhaps plan a better budget that also allows you some breathing room.
You will receive much advice, encouragement and understanding from others. Women, especially, will share insights with you that open your eyes to other perspectives. You may enjoy associating with older people now, partly because you yourself are more emotionally mature now than usual. Take this opportunity to request and listen to the advice of elders.
Now is an excellent time to lay down a foundation for your future plans. Decisions made now will be well thought out and probably relatively objective and conservative. You are very practical and patient, so you are less likely to take foolish risks. This is an especially good time for businesses involving food, farming and real estate.

enters orb: 10/2/2016, 1.70 deg. orb – leaves orb: 11/1/2016, 1.00 deg. orb
During this transit you may feel overly tired and weighed down by responsibility. Your energies are at the lowest point of the 28- to 30-year Saturn cycle; in addition this transit often is a time of obstacles and opposition from others that you must deal with. Employers and authority figures may be a source of trouble for you, and it is not likely that you will realize much success now. Children may also bring increased duties and responsibilities during this time.
Often people feel old during this period even if they are actually quite young. It is best to watch your health carefully now, especially if you actually are older. Don’t strain yourself or allow pressures to build up to the point of breakdown. Your energy is low now, but once this transit has passed you will be able to carry out all your ambitious plans. For now, watch your health, especially your bones, back, skin, teeth and heart.
This transit is only part of your inner cycle of growth, and you should not fight it. Learn to go with the flow instead of trying to swim upstream when dealing with obstructions. For instance, if you are trapped in an unsatisfying marriage, it may come to an end under the influence of this transit. You find it easier than usual to leave behind relationships that are no longer working. It will be much easier for everyone in your life if you cooperate with the necessary changes taking place now instead of stubbornly resisting them.
At the end of this transit you will begin laying new foundations for future growth. While this time brings many endings, it is followed by a period of new beginnings. Any new projects that you undertake now will be tested in about seven years when Saturn squares your Sun, and you will reach a peak of achievement in about fourteen when Saturn conjuncts your Sun.
Be patient and allow this part of your cycle to pass. There are new opportunities around the corner. You are undergoing rapid changes now, and it is better to let this influence pass before beginning new projects.

You feel very optimistic about your future now, and you will set idealistic goals for yourself. This is wonderful, because by imagining that we are accomplishing the nearly impossible, we then become capable of doing so. Just be sure that you see the whole picture in a realistic light before setting major goals now.
It is important to you now that you serve others. This can take many forms–as many as there are people–and you may find yourself drawn to contribute your time or energy to a non-profit or other worthy cause. It is not difficult for you to make the kinds of personal sacrifices necessary for this kind of work. You have a sincere desire to help those less fortunate than yourself. You’ll also receive good karma during this transit, as you are recognized for your past efforts.
Indeed, you will find yourself rearranging your spiritual belief system now. You may find that orthodox religion does not answer all of your questions any longer, and you have a desire to know more about Universal truths and philosophical matters. You may become interested in metaphysical subjects that you had previously ignored, such as astrology. It is possible that you will encounter a spiritual teacher during this transit, either in your daily life or through joining a spiritual group.
Be careful not to take many chances now. You feel so self-confident that you believe nothing could go wrong. Even though things may go very well now, don’t quickly spend any resources you may receive with the confidence that more is on the way. You may guess wrong; avoid gambling during this transit.

You have lots of energy now and plenty of ambition too. You want to do things in a “big” way now and actually can, if you can exercise the proper restraint and self-discipline.
This transit can indicate a conflict with someone who you feel has been holding you back in your goals in life. You feel the need to assert yourself now, and you will not put up with interference from anyone. Be careful not to act rashly, however. This person may in fact not be aware of your needs and may be acting with the best of intentions.
You can indeed accomplish a great deal now, but don’t overestimate your abilities. You could end up working yourself half to death to make good on commitments you never should have made. You are not superhuman, even though you may think you are. Accept your limitations, and you’ll have to make fewer excuses.
The other side of this transit is that it can bring courage and determined effort. The manner in which you manifest these energies depends on how self-aware you are. Learn to stand up for yourself but also to pull in on the reins of your assertiveness. You need to see others’ points of view as well as your own. You could experience difficulties if you travel, or problems with people from foreign lands. There is also a danger of legal disputes. Cultivate a little humility and cooperation.

Feelings, emotions and your personal relationships are very important to you now. You feel emotionally generous, and relationships are generally good. Perhaps an affair that has been building up for a long time will come to fruition. You are in a good position now to choose which relationships are worth your investment of time and/or energy and which are not.
You are not particularly self-disciplined now, and you may tend to be lazy, taking others for granted. You may even feel that the world “owes you a living.” Avoid becoming very demanding both in your personal as well as professional life. You want others to reach out to you and make things happen for you instead of taking charge of your life.
Your relationships with women will run from one extreme to the other. Which one it will be depends on your response to the energies of this transit. If you become overbearing and demanding, the result will be unpleasant; if you are warm and generous, you will be repaid tenfold. You are likely to act out these energies with women, whether lovers, friends or relatives, no matter what sex you are.
You are feeling particularly self-indulgent now and should be careful not to overeat if you are inclined to gain weight. Also be careful not to drink too much. Remember: practice everything in moderation. Also, be careful not to blow your entire bankroll on a vacation or a more luxurious apartment because you deserve it. Financial extravagance is one of the dangers of this transit.

This is a time of high optimism and pleasant feelings. It is a good time to explore those areas of your life that you have previously feared to venture into. You are very creative now and can assert yourself confidently in creative ventures. This transit increases your changes of receiving recognition and reward for your creative efforts. The wind appears to be at your back, and you can accomplish a great deal at this time.
You may indulge in activities that are traditionally associated with Jupiter, such as travel, physical activity (such as hiking), or higher education. You may travel to foreign places or be increasingly exposed to more “international people”. You may even discover a new love through these pursuits. At this time you are more curious and open-minded about new and different cultures and lifestyles. You get along well with others now and have a healthy sense of humor about life. Your health is also good at this time.
You feel very generous and benevolent toward others now, especially those who are less fortunate. The only danger with this transit (like many Jupiter transits) is that you will be over-optimistic and take foolish risks and gambles. You feel a little like Superman right now, and your estimates of what you can accomplish may be a little unrealistic for a mere human.
Finances usually improve under this transit. At the very least, you will not have to work so hard for the money you get. It is also an excellent time to resolve legal matters. You will feel like surrounding yourself with beauty, and it is good to reward yourself. Just be careful that you don’t spend as much (or more) money than you take in.
This transit represents considerable opportunity. You are likely to feel very good at this time, and reasonably confident. This is a time to find ways to improve your life and your satisfaction from life. Resolving conflicts with others is favored, and you do come across in a more favorable light than usual. It’s generally a good time to invest. Jupiter is giving your ego a boost, and it’s likely a much-needed boost. New visions of the future and new inspirations are likely to come along with this transit.
Saturn trine Jupiter: 11/28/2016, Exact
enters orb: 11/13/2016, 1.70 deg. orb – leaves orb: 12/6/2016, 1.00 deg. orb
You are more organized than usual now, and your business affairs are likely to run smoothly. If you are willing to work hard now, you can establish solid foundations in your life upon which to build for your future. Although things work out better than usual now, this is not merely a run of luck; you’ve worked for everything you will get. With your healthy mix of optimism and caution, you can accomplish a great deal.
This is an excellent time for career advancement, especially in areas related to politics, law, science, education, religion, travel or business administration. Supervisors and authority figures who are in a position to help you will do so now. They can see that you are a worthwhile investment and realize that they too will benefit from becoming your allies. Since you are willing to compromise and cooperate now, you can team up with others and accomplish a great deal more than you could on your own.
It is easy for you to plan for the future now because you have a clear vision of where you want to go in life. But you also have patience and a willingness to work steadily toward your goals. You are practical enough to see that achieving them will take time and don’t expect to reach the top tomorrow. Now is a good time to make long-range plans and to organize your life accordingly. It would also be wise to utilize this fortuitous combination of good luck (Jupiter) and practicality (Saturn) by putting some money aside or investing in a carefully considered project.
During this time you may receive valuable counsel from persons who are much older than you. The more you can humble yourself and respect their wisdom, the more you will grow through your association with such teachers.
Saturn trine Midheaven: 12/1/2016, Exact
enters orb: 11/17/2016, 1.70 deg. orb – leaves orb: 12/10/2016, 1.00 deg. orb
At this time you are self-assured enough to accomplish a great deal–both at a deep inner level and in the outside world. You can plan well for the future now in a practical way in order to ensure that you will reach your ultimate goals in life. You prefer to work on your own now and feel driven to prove to yourself (and also to others) that you are capable and competent. But remember, this doesn’t mean you can’t accept help when you need it.
This is a good time to develop self-discipline and to plan a strategy for achieving your future goals. You may be overly cautious and wary of radically new ideas, especially in your career. But you shouldn’t resist the changes that are taking place. Making them now will save you from even more upheaval when Saturn makes its next hard aspect to your Midheaven. Don’t become too rigid or conservative in your thinking.
At this time you will go through a weeding out process in terms of your attitudes toward work, responsibility, change, and authority figures (among other things). You will consider whether your present attitudes are really your own independent ones or whether you have inherited a set from your family and friends along the way. It is not easy to let go of these inheritances because they hold such sentimental value. But the question should be whether they are helping or hindering your growth.
It is best to deal with such questions now rather than suppress the feelings that come up during this transit. Be willing to make necessary changes, even if it seems risky at the time. Now is an excellent time to resolve conflicts with the law or other authority figures.

enters orb: 11/24/2016, 1.70 deg. orb – leaves orb: 12/10/2016, 1.00 deg. orb
At this time you will weed out many unnecessary people and things from your life. Your moral values and behavior patterns will change to become more appropriate to the “new you” that is emerging. Now is a good time to go to a retreat or at least take time for meditation. It is not a good time to rely on the opinions of others because you are likely to get wildly conflicting advice.
The challenge to you at this time is to balance out your life–cutting back in those areas that require it and growing in others. Your business may suffer financial difficulties or layoffs. If you expand your business during this time, be sure to stay within your means. Make a budget and stick to it. Whatever you do now in your professional life will have a more important impact than usual on your future. Be patient and take your time to find the proper solution to any problems.
Be careful with finances during this time and resist the temptation to rebel against your limitations by spending wildly. You may change jobs under this transit because a better offer comes along with more opportunity for growth. This is a good time for a career change, but be careful to do it in a way that is not disruptive to you or anyone else. Your reputation may be challenged by mistakes from your past. Don’t expect much help from your friends in high places. This is also an unfavorable time for legal disputes.
You may feel restless and impatient now, uncertain about your future. You know that changes need to be made in your life, but you may not be sure exactly where or how. Take your time when making any important decisions. Think through your options carefully before acting.

enters orb: 11/24/2016, 1.70 deg. orb – leaves orb: 12/10/2016, 1.00 deg. orb
This is a time of great energy and self-confidence. You feel you can take on the whole world at once, and indeed your abilities to achieve are high at this time. However, be careful not to over-commit yourself. Remember, you don’t wear an “S” on your chest. You may find that the chunk you bite off is tougher to chew than you thought. Jupiter can also attract opportunities to you; so leave yourself open for a better deal around the next corner.
You may feel restless at this time. Your world seems suddenly very small and uninteresting. This transit can also indicate conflicts with authority figures, even when you have done nothing wrong. Perhaps you are sending out arrogant and overconfident vibes and those in authority feel they must “put you in your place.” Be careful to take such conflicts seriously. Your opponent is likely to have a great deal of power to wield over you. Be prepared to compromise.
This transit is often “lucky,” especially in financial matters. However, you may encounter opposition in areas associated with Jupiter, such as education, publishing, religion, travel or foreign trade. Watch out for hidden costs or restrictions. The one danger of this transit is that you may overdo. This applies to work, play, and self-confidence. Exercise care and a little self-restraint during this time. This is especially true in finances. Don’t spend as though there is no tomorrow.
Jupiter oppose Midheaven: 12/7/2016, Exact
enters orb: 11/26/2016, 1.70 deg. orb – leaves orb: 12/13/2016, 1.00 deg. orb
During this time you will turn your attention to your home life, where you will seek greater fulfillment and security. You may feel driven to buy a home now and to put down roots, even if this is an idea that normally has not appealed to you. Traditionally this is a good time to invest in real estate.
Your circle of friends will expand during this time, and you will enjoy entertaining them in your home. Your domestic life will improve during this transit as you are more inclined to speak openly about your feelings. Now is a good time to work out difficulties with loved ones or to wind up any lingering relationships that are no longer contributing to your growth.
Relationships with relatives, and especially your parents, will be good now, and it is possible that you will benefit from their assistance now. They can certainly assist you in your efforts to examine your past with the goal of getting to know yourself better.
You tend to measure your success in terms of your personal life rather than your career or other outward activities. Now is a good time to establish a solid home base from which you may venture forth later to explore the outside world. The more stable a home life you build now, the stronger foundation it will provide for you later when your emphasis shifts to your career.
Jupiter is in the 4th: 12/7/2016, Moving Forwards at Degree 0 in a 35 Degree House
Jupiter is in the 4th house now, bringing improvements to your home life, family and basic psychological foundation. Home improvements, such as real estate purchases or moving, are favored.
Saturn oppose Mercury: 1/9/2017, Exact
enters orb: 12/25/2016, 1.70 deg. orb – leaves orb: 1/18/2017, 1.00 deg. orb
During this time it may seem that no matter what you say, you cannot please others. You will encounter multiple disagreements and even end long-time relationships because of this failure in communication. It is certain that you will encounter strong resistance to your ideas, and you in turn may stubbornly refuse to accept the opinions of others.
On the positive side, this opposition from others will force you to strengthen your arguments and to be sure that you have considered every angle before presenting an idea to someone else for consideration. If you feel like giving up, you probably have doubts about the viability of your own plans. Others are not really out to shoot down your ideas; they are serving the purpose of presenting a challenge that you can rise to meet. Be sure that your plans are well thought out and based on reality and you will have fewer problems.
Now is a good time for introspection and self-questioning. Examine your logic and see if you can find any weak points, then take steps to correct them. Don’t waste time feeling guilty or sorry for yourself, for you will be tempted to do so. This will only lead to depression and feelings of self-doubt. Try to stay detached and objective, although you may feel at times that you are being personally attacked. Negative publicity could affect your reputation now, so be careful not to expose yourself to ridicule.
This transit will be easier if you have not allowed your thinking to become too narrow and rigid. You may encounter legal problems or get caught in bureaucratic red tape. Changes will be required of you now, and the more flexible you remain, the easier these changes will be. If you remain stubborn and unmoving, you will encounter the same response from others. Give a little and you will find that others will do the same.
Be particularly careful of your health now, particularly illnesses of the lungs and organs of speech, such as bronchitis or laryngitis, as well as problems with teeth, bones or digestion.
Pluto oppose Saturn: 1/13/2017, Exact
enters orb: 11/21/2016, 1.70 deg. orb – leaves orb: 2/13/2017, 1.00 deg. orb
During this once–in-a-lifetime transit, events and circumstances in your life will provoke many changes in you. People and things which you have deeply valued will pass from your life, even though you may hold onto them as tightly as possible. Personal and professional relationships will be filled with power plays, and many will end during this time. Solid relationships will endure the effects of this transit, although they are likely to be transformed.
You will probably work very hard toward your goals now, although you will not make much progress. It’s difficult for you to gain the respect and support of those in authority over you, and they may be very demanding. Be careful not to work so hard that you neglect your health; you are subject to stress-related ailments now, particularly involving your bones, teeth and skin.
Your resources are limited now, and you may have to discipline yourself to get by on less than usual. At the same time, your obligations and responsibilities seem to increase. You may be plagued by guilt and feelings of inadequacy, and your frustration over lack of progress in your life can lead to depression. Change is being thrust upon you now, and your attempts to resist it are making matters worse. Stop struggling so hard and try to cooperate with the changes taking place within you and around you.
Jupiter trine Mercury: 1/13/2017, Exact
enters orb: 12/26/2016, 1.70 deg. orb – leaves orb: 2/6/2017, 0.83 deg. orb
This is an excellent time for communication and intellectual endeavors. Your ability to plan ahead is quite good now, and you can make good judgments. It is a good time to negotiate contracts or seek new opportunities through communication.
Your mind is capable of much expansion and growth now, and you are able to see abstract ideas from a practical viewpoint. It is a good time to take on the study of a new subject, undertake a new project, or travel to foreign lands. You can plan your future quite intelligently now and can communicate your ideas with a new clarity. For these reasons, it is an excellent time to buy and sell (especially real estate) or to make well-planned financial investments.
You feel like being sincere in your communications with others, and you will be well received and respected for your truthfulness. You can combine both warmth and confidence in your communication with others, and this makes your ideas more palatable to the average person. Even if they do not all agree with you (and of course they won’t), they will respect your logic. You are self-confident enough to treat others with respect without feeling that it detracts from your status.
At this time you feel more optimistic and self-confident than usual, and you are physically strong. Yet you are also able to judge your limitations now and are not likely to over-commit yourself. Your life is well planned and your thoughts more organized. You make a very positive impression on others now and may receive a promotion or new career opportunity. Advertising and promotion campaigns will be more effective.
Pluto square Jupiter: 1/14/2017, Exact
enters orb: 11/22/2016, 1.70 deg. orb – leaves orb: 2/14/2017, 1.00 deg. orb
This once-in-a-lifetime transit can be an extremely fortunate time, especially for your career, or it can be frustrating and disappointing. How it turns out will largely depend on your attitude. Now is not the time to pursue a “get rich quick” scheme or to take on seemingly impossible tasks. Such gambles are likely to backfire, especially if you are arrogant and demanding toward others. The more self-righteous you are feeling now, the greater danger there is of a negative outcome.
You feel optimistic now, and you fully expect your efforts to succeed. This could indeed happen, but only if you are able to recognize that others’ needs are as important as yours. You’ll make a lot more progress if you can develop a sense of compromise and cooperation rather than having wild expectations that you demand others live up to. No one enjoys being pushed around. This transit is an unfavorable time for legal conflicts, especially those involving taxes, insurance, loans, corporate affairs or inheritances.
It is possible that during this transit you will encounter charismatic individuals or groups of a religious or metaphysical nature. The only danger is that you may become obsessed with ideas which you then attempt to force onto others. On the other hand, you may find yourself the victim of someone else’s attempt to force their ideas on you. At the worst extreme, such power struggles may result in legal problems or even arrest.
Neptune square Neptune: 1/22/2017, Exact
enters orb: 11/20/2016, 1.10 deg. orb – leaves orb: 2/19/2017, 1.00 deg. orb
This transit occurs only once in your life (in your early 40s) and is part of what is known as the mid-life crisis. You’ll use this time to review your life, question whether you have or will ever fulfill your goals, and make changes if needed. Be careful not to make changes on a whim, however, because your judgment is not at its best under Neptune’s influence. If you act too rashly, you could endanger your home, family life or career. Remember that your emotions are more unstable than usual now.
Remember that you do not know everything there is to know about yourself, even at your “old” age. It’s time to see some truths in your life that you have been avoiding by reassessing your goals in life. You may decide that you’ve been pursuing ideals that you no longer value. Allow yourself to be guided through this transit, just don’t make any hard-and-fast commitments that cannot be broken later. You will emerge from this transit with new insights that will greatly change your outlook on life.
You are very interested in psychic, mystical and metaphysical subjects, yet your quest into these otherworldly areas will be disappointing, or even unpleasant. Avoid mind-altering substances such as drugs and alcohol, as you are more prone than usual to addiction.
This is a good time to practice yoga and meditation. If you should feel the need to seek the counsel of another at this time, it is best to consult persons who are not in your immediate age group. Your peers are also going through this same transit and will not be able to provide objective guidance at this time.
Pluto square Midheaven: 1/27/2017, Exact
enters orb: 12/8/2016, 1.70 deg. orb – leaves orb: 3/4/2017, 1.00 deg. orb
You may encounter power struggles and resistance from others during this once-in-a-lifetime transit, especially if you do not make a conscious effort to be more compromising. During this period you are more aggressive than ever about achieving your goals in life, although you may not have the necessary tact and diplomacy to pull it off. This causes others to take the defensive stand and try to bring you down a peg or two. Be sure to consider the needs and sensitivities of others on your way to the top. Otherwise, you may find that they can bring you down later.
It is also possible that you will perceive others in this way–as aggressive and insensitive to your needs. They may try to force their own ideas or rules on you. The positive side of this is that it forces you to defend yourself and to get clear on what you do and do not want. The changes that are taking place within and around you (in whatever form) are ultimately good ones, and the transformative process will be much more painless if you don’t resist. After this transit has passed you will look back and marvel that you are the same person you were before it began.
Changes are likely in your domestic life because any repressed feelings of anger or resentment will surface now. You must deal with them directly; they will not go away. If you and your partner are willing to create a whole new relationship, your partnership will remain intact. Otherwise, if the relationship will not change with you, you will have to leave it.
This transit may also indicate a time of needed repairs on a physical level. Maybe your house will need repairs, or equipment will break down and have to be replaced. Your physical health or that of your family could be affected. Perhaps a change of residence is in the works for you now. This change of address would give you a new perspective on old problems and allow you to sort things out.
Chiron square Mercury: 1/31/2017, Exact
enters orb: 1/2/2017, 1.15 deg. orb – leaves orb: 2/19/2017, 1.00 deg. orb
This transit will occur only twice in each 50-year cycle of Chiron. Your mind is likely to be very active now, and you’re full of new, innovative ideas and insights. However, it may be more difficult than you think (though not impossible) to clearly communicate your newfound concepts to others. This is an excellent time to attend college, especially if you’re returning at a later age. You feel driven to expand your mind and learn new things, but you must not expect miracles of yourself. Learn to be patient and allow things to come to you in their own time. You may even dabble in metaphysics, magic, or past-life memories.
If you carry childhood wounds related to your early education (and opinions you formed about yourself at that time), they may be reopened now. Although this may be painful for you, it is the first step toward healing these old scars forever. If too much emphasis was placed on academic achievement during your childhood (or if you were treated as an intellectual inferior), now is the time to break through such early conditioning and develop renewed confidence in yourself and your mental abilities. It’s also a good time to tell others what’s really on your mind. Just be careful that you don’t become overly opinionated and stubborn. Remember, you’re likely to catch more flies with honey than with vinegar.
Once your curiosity kicks in and the ideas start pouring in, you may have the opportunity to begin a new business venture (especially in the areas of writing, the media, education, or counseling). This is a good time to explore holistic health practices, and you may even look into a career in the healing professions. During this transit you’ll find that you can heal (or wound) with words alone. Be sure to allow for leisure time in your busy schedule. Otherwise, you risk suffering from nervous exhaustion and other stress-related health problems. Once you’ve learned to clear your mind, pace yourself and avoid stress, you can teach others to do likewise.
Jupiter trine Mercury: 2/28/2017, Exact
enters orb: 2/6/2017, 0.83 deg. orb – leaves orb: 3/10/2017, 0.74 deg. orb
This is an excellent time for communication and intellectual endeavors. Your ability to plan ahead is quite good now, and you can make good judgments. It is a good time to negotiate contracts or seek new opportunities through communication.
Your mind is capable of much expansion and growth now, and you are able to see abstract ideas from a practical viewpoint. It is a good time to take on the study of a new subject, undertake a new project, or travel to foreign lands. You can plan your future quite intelligently now and can communicate your ideas with a new clarity. For these reasons, it is an excellent time to buy and sell (especially real estate) or to make well-planned financial investments.
You feel like being sincere in your communications with others, and you will be well received and respected for your truthfulness. You can combine both warmth and confidence in your communication with others, and this makes your ideas more palatable to the average person. Even if they do not all agree with you (and of course they won’t), they will respect your logic. You are self-confident enough to treat others with respect without feeling that it detracts from your status.
At this time you feel more optimistic and self-confident than usual, and you are physically strong. Yet you are also able to judge your limitations now and are not likely to over-commit yourself. Your life is well planned and your thoughts more organized. You make a very positive impression on others now and may receive a promotion or new career opportunity. Advertising and promotion campaigns will be more effective.
Saturn trine Chiron: 3/1/2017, Exact
enters orb: 2/5/2017, 1.70 deg. orb – leaves orb: 3/10/2017, 0.43 deg. orb
This transit will occur only twice in each 28- to 30-year cycle of Saturn. The older you are at the time it happens, the more “set in your ways” you’re likely to have become. Try to remain open to change during this time, and allow yourself to question what you may have previously considered to be ultimate authority. Events in your life will put you in the position to choose between what you believe is best and what you are told (or ordered) to do, by your most respected superiors, leaders, or family members. Although you may have to change jobs now, by sticking to your ethics, you will gain the approval of others who can be influential in improving your career. It’s also possible that you could work with others to bring about ethical reform in your chosen profession.
You will closely review choices you’ve made in the past and reassess your current life obligations. If you’re only halfway committed to any person or situation (perhaps because of a sense of duty or obligation), you will decide either to change your attitude to one of full commitment or else terminate the contact altogether. It’s also possible that responsibilities you’ve shirked in the past will resurface to be fulfilled (especially involving your parents or your children). If this occurs, be as fair and ethical as possible in your dealings, and look at it as a chance to correct past mistakes and repay karmic debts. Keep a positive attitude by giving thanks for what you have accomplished in life instead of complaining about missed opportunities.
During this transit you may have a major breakthrough in your relationship with a major male role model from your youth, such as your father. You may be called upon to care for a loved one, or to change your career plans in order to fulfill an obligation to them. Although the childhood memories brought up by such events could be painful, it also allows you the opportunity to heal these old wounds and any unhealthy patterns they’ve caused in your life. During this time you’ll be highly creative, and any works of art you produce will also have a practical use. You may seek new techniques for self-improvement, such as acupuncture, chiropractic care, herbology, healing with crystals or prayer. You may even consider a new career in one of these fields.
Uranus sextile Mercury: 3/5/2017, Exact
enters orb: 1/31/2017, 1.27 deg. orb – leaves orb: 3/10/2017, 0.23 deg. orb
This transit occurs only twice in each 84-year cycle of Uranus, and it greatly stimulates your mental processes and your communication with others. Life seems exciting and interesting now, and you will avoid any situations that promise to be boring. You may meet new friends and make new contacts now, and they will be wildly different from those you have enjoyed in the past. They are only one manifestation of the changes taking place within you.
You may feel like traveling and expanding your perception of the world. Your mental perception is very acute now, and nothing around you goes unnoticed. You are able to make constructive changes in your way of thinking and are receptive to new ideas and suggestions. In fact, it doesn’t even bother you to be proven wrong at this time; you appreciate learning something new.
With your heightened sense of curiosity, this is a good time to begin study on a new subject. Unfortunately, however, this transit does not provide the self-discipline required to do extensive research or stick to one project for a long time. If you get bored, you are likely to abandon your studies. Especially good areas for learning at this time are science, technological studies (especially electronics and computer science) and mathematics. Astrology and other occult sciences are also of great interest to you now.
Since you are feeling so liberated now, you may be in a rather impish mood and may even be inclined to play pranks on others. Sometimes this may be done to someone you consider to have an over-inflated ego in order to bring them down a notch. Try not to expect everyone else to share your new way of looking at things. Allow them their own areas of narrow-mindedness. You are highly intuitive now and may discover your own psychic abilities.
Neptune square Sun: 3/10/2017, 1.40 deg. orb
enters orb: 3/1/2017, 1.70 deg. orb – leaves orb: 3/10/2017, 1.40 deg. orb
During this once-in-a-lifetime transit you will feel insecure and uncertain about your goals and plans for your future. Even if you’ve usually had good judgment in such matters, you can’t trust your instincts now. At this time you will have reason to re-examine your strongest convictions about life and contemplate needed changes. Although you may come to some realizations now about areas of discontent in your life, you don’t have much energy to do anything about it. You are highly vulnerable now; in order to avoid physical illness at this time, be sure to treat yourself well and get plenty of proper nourishment and rest.
You are likely to encounter repeated disappointments in your life now, particularly in your career. At times you may feel as though you are a failure, and you may have to fight the tendency toward depression and hopelessness that this transit can bring. You must realize that your overall energy level is low now and you do not have as much enthusiasm to put into your efforts. Although you may feel like doing so, it is not advisable to pull back completely from dealings with others through isolation, drugs or alcohol. If you focus only on your problems, they will become exaggerated and overwhelm you.
Others may try to persuade you to join in projects that you don’t really believe in. Clandestine love affairs or romantic deception are common under this transit. Your judgment is cloudy now, so be careful who you take into your confidence. Be sure that you are true to your own ideals now and don’t commit yourself to help someone just because you feel sorry for them. Now is the time to learn who you are, not to save the world.
You should avoid involvement in mystical or religious sects during this transit. Now is the time for a private journey inward, and the teachings of such a group would actually hinder your progress. You need to focus on your inner self rather than blend into a larger group; otherwise the group itself may become an escape from the inner reflection you need now. Occult practices may have unpleasant or even destructive outcomes.
Do not take chances with economic investments now, and by all means avoid any “get rich quick” schemes. Others may deceive you now, and you are less likely to see this because you idealistically want to believe that everyone’s character is spotless. Now is not a good time to change careers or make other important moves regarding your life goals. This is a time of reflection and introspection, not action.
