Mercury Square Jupiter...

starts on January 11 (using a 1 degree orb), is exact on January 12 at 7.37am in Kilmore, leaves on January 13.  Mercury at 28 degrees and 8 minutes of Sagittarius, Jupiter at 28 degrees and 8 minutes of Pisces.

Like the Mercury/Uranus square... this is the final in a serious of squares to Jupiter from Mercury.  The first one was on November 26, 2010 and the second one was on December 22, 2010.  Have a look at the original post about this aspect here.


The good news is that situations in general (as symbolised in our individual birth charts) should start to settle down and become more reliable once this aspect has been completed.

Venus Trine Uranus...

starts on January 3 (using a 1 degree orb), is exact on January 5 at 12.33am in Kilmore, leaves on January 6.  Venus at 27 degrees and 2 minutes of Scorpio, Jupiter at 27 degrees and 2 minutes of Pisces.


This trine is happening at the same time as the Venus/Jupiter trine that I just wrote about, bringing together these three planets and energies together in a surprising, but lovely way.  Venus represents pleasure, opportunity and ease, whilst Jupiter represents these same themes but in a magnified way.  Uranus is the element of surprise in this mixture!  The trine from Venus suggests that this planet will act as the positive trigger for the potentially fabulous and unexpected opportunities that the conjunction of Jupiter/Uranus holds.

During this time you could make a surprisingly good amount of progress involving the situations and relationship represented by these energies through this transit.

As usual, look to see where this transit is happening in your birth chart and also which houses are ruled by Venus (ones with Taurus and/or Libra on the cusp) and Uranus (one with Aquarius on the cusp).

Mars Square Retrograde Uranus...

starts on December 2 (using a 1 degree orb), is exact on December 4 at 1.01am in Kilmore, leaves on December 5. Mars at 26 degrees and 40 minutes of Sagittarius, retrograde Uranus at 26 degrees and 40 minutes of Pisces.

Mars travelling through the fiery sign of Sagittarius may contribute to the ignition of a volatile, 'electrical' situation... the combination of Mars and Uranus looks as though it will provide the spark that will ignite an unexpected and exciting turning point in the areas represented by your birth chart.  Neither one of these energies is exactly a shrinking violet, so it seems that this is likely to be a bit of a roller-coaster ride period of time.

Squares generally represented a period tension, following by a turning point and growth. So, by looking at where this aspect is falling and which houses are ruled by them, we can get a feel for where we can expect the air to clear. Mars rules the houses with Aries or Scorpio on the cusp, Uranus rules the house with Aquarius on the cusp.

If you have personal planets and/or points in Sagittarius or Pisces then you may be more sensitive than others to this transit.

Mercury Trine Retrograde Uranus...

starts on November 6 (using a 1 degree orb), is exact on November 7 in Kilmore at 11.15am, leaves on November 8.  Mercury at 27 degrees and 1 minutes of Scorpio and retrograde Uranus at 27 degrees and 1 minute of Pisces.

Mercury and Uranus both share a common 'feel' in that they are 'airy' and tend to stir up activity in whatever they touch on in our birth charts.  The easy connection through the trine aspect suggests that we can expect positive movement and developments in the areas of the chart affected by these two planets.

Uranus also tends to bring things up to 'warp-speed', so to speak!  Unusual or expected developments are common with this influence, but because of the easy-going trine these are likely to be welcome ones.

As usual look at which houses these planets fall in and which ones are ruled by them (Mercury = house cusps with Gemini or Virgo, Uranus = house cusp with Aquarius on it) in order to get a feel for what and/or or who may be involved.

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

Mercury Opposing Retrograde Uranus...

starts on October 2 (using a 1 degree orb), is exact on October 3 at 12.23am in Kilmore, leaves on October 3.  Mercury at 28 degrees and 10 minutes of Virgo, retrograde Uranus at 28 degrees and 10 minutes of Pisces.

A roller-coast ride is what I think of when I see this combination!  A lightning bolt too.... :).

It is important to keep a very open mind during this time because the information (Mercury) that comes our way is likely to be unexpected or be unusual (Uranus)... because of the involvement through the opposition aspect it is likely happen in a bit of a jarring way.  However, it is likely to help let go of outworn ways of thinking and to open up exciting new possibilities!

Mercury also represents our mind, so it may simply be that we come to a sudden realisation about a certain person or situation in our lives as represented by our birth chart. 

As usual look at where this aspect is falling in your birth chart to get a feel for what or who may be involved.  Look at which houses are ruled by Mercury (ones with Gemini or Virgo on the cusp) and Uranus (one with Aquarius on the cusp).

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

Retrograde Jupiter re-enters Pisces...

today in Kilmore at 2.49pm.

After a very brief visit to Pisces earlier this year, Jupiter is now coming back for another one.  This return visit suggests that we all will be given a second chance with the people and situations represented by Jupiter travelling through Pisces.  My first post about the visit of Jupiter through Pisces is here.

Jupiter will stay in Pisces until January 23, 2011.

Retrograde Jupiter Conjunct Retrograde Uranus...

starts on September 8 (using a 1 degree orb), is exact on September 19 at 11.03am in Kilmore, leaves on September 30.  Both retrograde at 28 degrees and 42 minutes of Pisces.

Jupiter and Uranus were conjunct earlier this year in June, but in Aries.  Here is the link to my previous post.

As I mentioned in my previous post, Jupiter tends to magnify whatever it touches.  Unlike the previous conjunction that happened in the fiery Aries, this one is in the softer sign of Pisces which will help to dampen down any tendency for explosiveness!
 


As usual you can look to see where this conjunction  falls in your birth chart (and which houses are ruled by Jupiter - ones with Sagittairus or Pisces on the cusp; and Uranus - one with Aquarius on the cusp, to get a feel for what or who may be putting your life into warp speed!

If you have personal planets or points in Pisces (especially the very late degrees) then you are likely to be especially sensitive to this energy.

New Moon in Pisces...

today in Kilmore at 8.01am.

The New Moon is traditionally the time to make a fresh start... usually in the areas of life represented by the house in which the lunation falls.

Pisces represents emotions and change, flexibility and the ability to rise above ego concerns.  Wherever Pisces is in your birth chart is where these themes are prominent, and with this New Moon activating these themes, we all have a chance to make a fresh start with them.

Looking at the chart for the New Moon you can see that Mercury and Uranus are part of the picture... so unexpected information or developments are likely to be part of the picture for all of us.  By keeping an open mind and flexible attitude we should all do well with making a fresh start with the people and situations represented by this New Moon - especially now that Mars is direct (even though he is moving slowly).
