Revival!

Just a quick note to my followers that I should be able to start posting again soon!

Our littlest girl is now nearly seven months old and our 4 (nearly 5) year old will be starting school next year, leaving me a little more time to spend on astrology.

Until then, I hope all is well with you and your loved ones.

2012 Forecast...

should be uploaded in the next week or so!

Final posting for now....

I have not been able to post for some time now due to a chronic health issue, and now for a good reason as well... I am pregnant!

There are a lot of medical appointments that I need to attend so something has to go in terms of my workload, so it seems that it is time to say goodbye to this blog, for now anyway, once things settle down I may be able to take it up again.

Thanks for reading my blogs and I hope you enjoy reading my forecasts on my main site at www.astrologyrealm.com!

Venus enters Cancer...

on July 4 at 2.17pm in Kilmore.

Venus moving from the changeable and talkative Gemini, into the emotional and motivated sign of Cancer suggests that the people and situations represented by this planet will also become more emotionally drive and motivated to change.

For example, if you have Taurus or Libra on your second house cusp, then you will probably be more motivated than usual to earn money, possibly in order to spoil your family!

If you have personal planets and/or points in Cancer then this is likely to be a lovely time for you... apart from a few minor hiccups when Venus connects with the outer planets through hard aspects.

Venus Trine Retrograde Neptune...

starts on July 4 (using a 1 degree orb), is exact on July 5 at 3.26am in Kilmore, leaves on July 5.  Venus at 00 degrees and 40 minutes of Cancer, retrograde Neptune at 00 degrees and 40 minutes of Pisces.

This is a lovely, gentle energy to have happening and suggests that we will have the opportunity to successfully connect with the beautiful Neptunian themes in our lives!

Venus tends to be a easy-going energy and is especially sensitive in the emotional sign of Cancer: the connection to Neptune, an emotional and artistic energy through the flowing trine suggests that there will be a positive connection between the two people or themes represented by these planets in your birth chart.

As usual look at where this aspect is falling in your birth chart to get a feel for what or who will bring a bit of fun and enjoyment into your life.  Also look at which houses are ruled by Venus (ones with Taurus or Libra on the cusp) and Neptune (one with Pisces on the cusp).

If you have personal planets and/or points in Cancer and/or Pisces then you may be especially sensitive to this transit.

Mercury enters Leo...

on July 2 at 3.38pm in Kilmore.

The move of Mercury from the emotional and family oriented sign of Cancer into the more fiery and stubborn sign of Leo suggests a change in the way we are thinking and perhaps dealing with the areas of life and people represented by this planet in our birth chart.

Mercury represents change, but also the way we connect and communicate with the world, and people around us.  Being in a fire sign now and for the next few weeks, Mercury suggests that we are more likely than usual to speak up and need to express ourselves... being in a fixed sign, it seems that we are more likely to stick to our guns, but also be more stubborn and less likely to compromise.  This can be a good thing, but also create difficulties if we take it too far!

By looking at where Mercury is in your birth chart, and which houses are ruled by it (ones with Gemini or Virgo on the cusp), you can get a feel for where you or someone else, may need to speak up; and also where being determined or even stubborn may be a theme.

If you have personal points or planets in Leo then you can expect the next few weeks to be busier than usual, since Mercury tends to speed things up.

Sun Square Saturn...

enters on July 2 (using a 1 degree orb), is exact on July 3 at 10.17am in Kilmore, leaves on July 4.  Sun at 10 degrees and 46 minutes of Cancer, Saturn at 10 degrees and 46 minutes of Libra.

The Sun tends to energies whatever it touches and highlights and acts as a 'trigger' for some of the longer term energies that are around.  In this case, the Sun accentuates Saturn.

Because the aspect between the Sun and Saturn is a square, this suggests tension - but a turning point... sometimes the only way we get motivated enough to do something about a situation is when it annoys us enough to do something about it!  That situation that causes us enough annoyance is likely to be something or someone represented by Saturn in our birth charts (look to see where it is travelling, and also which houses have Capricorn or Aquarius on the cusp to get an idea).

As usual, look to see where this aspect is falling in your birth chart and which houses are ruled by the planets in order to get a feel for what, or who, may need a new attitude or approach.  If you have personal planets and/or points in Cancer and/or Libra then you are likely to feel this energy more than others.
