The information in this column is limited. It does
not replace your seeing your astrologer. If you know the sign of your
Moon and your Ascending sign, read those sections also. This information
is helpful because it mentions planets passing through your sign. These
do bring opportunities.
Special note: The emphasis this month is on the signs Leo, Pisces and
Aries. Whatever we have in our own charts, we also become these qualities
temporarily. Active Mars is still in the showy, powerful, playful sign,
Leo. We'll have lots of energy to put into our creative areas. Since
Mars is naturally troublesome we need to harmonize the way we use power,
and deal with affairs of the heart while Mars is in Leo, which will
be until the 2nd week of June '10. We can look at this 2 ways. A troublesome
concern can last longer than usual or a constructive project can last
longer than ordinary. Mars turns retrograde on the 20th of Dec. and
does not go direct until March 10th. We'll have to be particularly skillfull
in our actions to counteract this. The Sun in weeks 1, 2, and 3; Mercury
in weeks 1 and 2; and Venus in week 1 are in mystical, insightful, believing
Pisces. We should all be reading Dr. Jeffrey Long's book “ Evidence
for the Afterlife” so that our faith level will go up and we'll have
one less thing to worry about. This is a time for us to honor the more
subtle and unexplainable parts of our selves. The Egyptians felt that
each one of us was composed of 9 parts: the body (khat), sahu, ab, ka,
ba, khaibit, khu, sekhem, and name. ( See my paper on Egyptian Magic
on my website.) During this Pisces period our success, intellectual
lives, and love lives will be affected by supernatural things. Jupiter
is in Pisces for this year and does increase faith and belief. Uranus
is in Pisces from '03 until '11 and shows us making discoveries about
metaphysical things. The Sun in week 4; Mercury in weeks 3 and 4; and
Venus in weeks 2, 3, and 4 are in Aries. After our mystical and emotion
experiences of the Pisces period, we are ready for action and adventure.
We know who we are, have an agenda, and we are doing it. Aries is the
“me” sign and this is an appropriate time for us to get our act together.
Saturn and Pluto are still in a strong square. Due to being in Libra
and Capricorn, they increase legal and business and government activity,
but the planets are not considered constructive. Wherever we are finding
a difficulty in our lives, we should clarify the situation and take
positive action. Full Moon in Virgo continues on the 1st. This is a
good time to focus on vision and mission. New Moon in Pisces is on afternoon
of the 13, the 14, and 15th. This is a great time for new starts in
emotional and metaphysical areas. For example, a new meditation program,
or starting to keep a journal of dreams. Discoveries will follow. Full
Moon is in Libra will be on the 29th and 30th and ties into the Saturn
Pluto square. It is essential to balance our needs and those of others
and address problems with positive action. Important events should be
started on another day.
Extra special note: I’m recommending that people read Covey, Dyer,
and Chopra during their birth month. They write about achieving success
and happiness and this is what the Sun is about in our charts. During
the birth month we have the opportunity to start a new cycle of success
and these authors have great ideas on how to do it. For those who want
to get in on the ground floor of understanding existence and self-improvement,
C.C. Zain’s Church of Light books will make you an astrologer and a
metaphysician. These books teach us that there is a supernatural dimension
in and around us that makes life subtle and interesting. And that Astrology
gives us helpful information in innumerable situations. And finally,
that we have the power to change our lives.
