Personal Aspects for the Week of Monday, September 7, 2015

Neptune sextile Saturn (approaching, at 0°18 arcminutes‡ to 0°09a on Sunday)

Opening whatever is closed is possible now as circumstances promote a more relaxed attitude to those areas that are unyielding. If you like to maintain a firm grip on certain aspects of your life, you can ease up a bit now and probably accomplish more. Wherever you exercise your authority, you likely are more effective during this cycle when you are less concerned with the literal facts and more attentive to the implied intent. Those whom you answer to are often more receptive at this time and may be willing to overlook missteps while allowing you greater latitude.

Being easier on yourself and others can actually bring you closer to your goals. Learning how to stay focused while not becoming locked in on a target can allow you to recognize possibilities that you otherwise might miss when your vision is narrow. Although the objectives that you seek should drive you now, you likely are more aware of their subtleties, and small adjustments that you implement now can have a large and helpful impact. By appreciating other sides to an issue or other ways to accomplish the same task, you likely access answers that before you might not have considered, and problems that seem intractable and are stuck can loosen.

Sometimes this cycle has a positive mental impact where you are able to reason with imagination. Greater pliability in your thinking can permit you to structure more openly, and you may recognize the value of incorporating creativity into any decision. Letting go of concerns rather than holding onto them can dissipate repetitive thought patterns that typically are negative. Although you can get things done during this period, you generally are more productive when you take time out for rest and contemplation. Disengaging from the strain of work not only offers relief, but it also can give you pause to realize how to function more efficiently.

This period may have little noticeable impact since it involves an influence that is difficult to detect. Responsibilities, however, may lose some of their weight now without any effort on your part. An attitude of acceptance can emerge that dissolves burdensome obligations while imperceptibly shifting your priorities. Whatever is out of place tends to find its right position more readily now when you do not force it. If you sense that you are off course in any way, you may become more attuned to the right direction. All that may be required is one small step to get you back on track.


Saturn sextile Jupiter (approaching, at 0°55 arcminutes to 0°33a on Sunday)

Productive growth can occur as conditions are right to make steady progress in those areas that you wish to pursue. Although results typically are unspectacular, they tend to have a lasting impact. What you do, you usually do well because you can recognize that not all things can be done at once. Too many options limit your effectiveness, and you can see what ones are worthwhile. Situations may arise where you must make important choices, and you likely choose appropriately because you are capable of making the necessary distinctions.

This cycle provides a learning environment where you benefit from taking seriously whatever you seek to know. It is possible that you find a subject that really grabs your interest and keeps you involved without distraction.

Circumstances may allow you to be thorough in whatever you study, and this can help deepen your understanding of what is important and what is dispensable. Even if you are not involved in a formal educational setting, the experiences available to you now generally bring you useful knowledge that can clarify your direction. Travel is often favorable now, especially if you are taking a trip for reasons other than just pleasure. You likely have more fun going somewhere with a purpose rather than no plan at all.

Opportunities, although usually not plentiful at this time, may prove significant. You may achieve success during this cycle because you can focus on what you enjoy, and you typically maintain a steady pace in achieving what fulfills you or at least what helps you to grow. You tend to stay within your limits while at the same time moving forward so that you can develop your ideas, your projects, or your relationships comfortably and with a minimum of stress. Staying on track is easier now because there is often a minimum if not an absence of surprises to disrupt your advancement.

Although events may cause you to slow down your pace, the change is often welcome. Clarity can arise from being deliberate and observant bringing more satisfaction than being frenetic and scattered. The possibility exists for greater depth in all that you experience during this cycle, and this can produce lasting enjoyment in whatever you pursue. You must make an effort to reap the full rewards of this period; at the very least, conditions should help you to focus on where you need to go.


Uranus square Mercury (approaching at 1°07 arcminutes to 0°55a on Sunday)

Your mind often shines brilliantly during this period although you can become so caught up in your own way of seeing things that you sometimes lose perspective. Ideas tend to form easily and you can latch onto a piece of information that convinces you of its truth while you ignore disparities that likely exist. Sometimes you are a walking and talking contradiction. Your position can change instantly when something better grabs your attention. It is not so much that you vacillate, for you will defend your current point of view with unusual zeal; it is more that your outlook can shift dramatically because new data has a strong effect now.

Communication issues can arise now as breakdowns can occur suddenly and without warning. A seemingly random message that you receive may have a profound impact causing you to perceive things very differently than before. A chance encounter in your daily travels can shift the direction of your life. While these are only possibilities, you often have difficulty in your interactions with others. You have a tendency at this time to believe that your ideas are right, and you generally are unafraid to articulate them. At the same time, you may be intolerant of anyone questioning your opinions. It is possible, however, that you must deal with strongly biased individuals who can cause you stress as they may refuse to acknowledge your contributions.

Despite the difficulties that this period can present, your mind usually operates at a higher frequency and with greater speed which allows you to comprehend what before may have seemed incomprehensible. You can learn challenging techniques and work to resolve highly technical issues. Moving too fast can cause you problems if you do not adjust to the demands of the situation. Forethought can make the difference between unexpected setbacks and successful adaptation. Finding the time to rest often is important so that you do not become too frantic and frenetic.

You generally like to think and speak independently which is appropriate for now, although sudden changes of ideas can make you seem inconsistent and unreliable; this likely is true if you focus on what is superficial. Great clarity can emerge from this cycle, and you can clear the air of ambiguity with strong convictions. However, make sure that whatever you espouse has truth behind it rather than simply its unusual or even shocking appeal.


Saturn sextile Uranus (approaching, at 1°13 arcminutes to 0°51a on Sunday)

Instituting change is easier now if you need to make some adjustments as conditions favor integrating the new into what already is established. You tend to recognize the importance of doing things differently, and you can show greater acceptance of what is unconventional. If you are comfortable with the many sides to your personality, you may find the right form to express the more unusual aspects of who you are. If you have difficulty with anything but the norm, being out of character often is more tolerable at this time, and what you consider outside your boundaries may actually become more familiar now.

Opportunities exist to gain mental clarity on those issues that seem to embody variability. It is one of those cycles where you can grasp the meaning of capricious and erratic events which serve to keep life from becoming dull and boring. Although you may not control any outcomes, you can give direction to what is inherently independent of all rules and regulations. In this way, you can maintain a balance between order and randomness. The volatility that can characterize certain areas of your life is more manageable now because it typically is subdued. This slowing down can create situations where you can more readily comprehend inherently difficult or technical issues as well as the reasons and meaning for inconsistencies.

By coming to terms with what is unpredictable, you can make it your ally rather than something to fear. Allowing it a place in your life can add a new dimension to what is ordinary and keep you sharp and capable of appreciating the wisdom of change when the time is right. A potential gift of this cycle is the capacity to focus on what is unique rather than what is familiar or to see the unique in the setting of everyday events. On a practical level, this can mean that you can solve problems by looking at the same set of conditions from a different angle than is customary.

A well-structured existence may find the effect of this period somewhat negligible except for an occasional insight and a lessening of irregularities that tend to disturb the order. This certainly helps to maintain steady advancement regarding important concerns since inconsistency is less noticeable. If you care to examine, however, there is much more to this cycle than smoothing of the data. It really can bring out what is original in you and those around you so that you can step outside the status quo without overturning it, and a part of you that you never knew existed may suddenly appear.


Mercury trine Venus (departing, at 0°22 arcseconds† to 3°52s on Sunday)

Preferring thoughts and conversations about harmony and peace rather than discord and conflict, you are easy to be around. You connect with others by having fun and charming them, if necessary. Communications given and received convey happiness, and you tend to value what you learn now. Decisions based on pleasure are typically the right ones at least for the moment.

Personal Aspects for Thursday, September 3, 2015

Sun square Venus

Motivated by pleasure, you tend to look for people and things that gratify you. While generally an enjoyable day, certain conditions may make you aware of what is missing in your life. By recognizing any discord, you can take steps to harmonize whatever is out of tune. Expressing happiness often depends on being noticed and appreciated. When unfulfilled for any reason, you may prefer to indulge yourself-especially with sweets. Love yourself and others regardless of the conditions.

Moon trine Pluto

Emotional self-expression is easier now, and releasing held feelings has a liberating effect. This is a good time to get in touch with your power, and strong needs tend to find fulfillment. Applying force effectively, you can push yourself past perceived limitations and contend with problems that may require extreme solutions.

Mercury sextile Ascendant

You relate very easily with other people today, finding common ground in your conversations. You’re interested in what they have to say and may find it easier to come to agreement on important issues. You’re social and friendly, and may have more meetings or interactions than usual. You may be more physically active or just bored with your environment, and may prefer running errands or taking brief excursions.

Personal Aspects for Wednesday, September 3, 2015

Neptune sextile Saturn at 0°27 arcminutes‡

Opening whatever is closed is possible now as circumstances promote a more relaxed attitude to those areas that are unyielding.

Moon conjunct Saturn at 1°07 arcseconds†

Responsibilities can control you at this time, and certain needs require attention, especially family or personal matters. You are more selective of what you do and whom you see, and you may prefer being alone now―or circumstances can demand it. You tend to take things seriously, and a negative outlook is common if things are too demanding. Focusing on one thing at a time helps to maintain order.

Sun square Venus at 1°10 arcminutes

Intent on making yourself happy today, you often do whatever it takes to find satisfaction. Though you may seek the company of someone you like, differences in what you each desire can create disharmony. Accommodating others, while being true to yourself, is sometimes an issue now. Being appreciated is important; yet happiness sought outside yourself can escape you. Look within and express the joy that is yours.

Saturn sextile Jupiter at 1°11 arcminutes

Productive growth can occur as conditions are right to make steady progress in those areas that you wish to pursue. Although results typically are unspectacular, they tend to have a lasting impact.

By coming to terms with what is unpredictable, you can make it your ally rather than something to fear. Allowing it a place in your life can add a new dimension to what is ordinary and keep you sharp and capable of appreciating the wisdom of change when the time is right. A potential gift of this cycle is the capacity to focus on what is unique rather than what is familiar or to see the unique in the setting of everyday events. On a practical level, this can mean that you can solve problems by looking at the same set of conditions from a different angle than is customary.

A well-structured existence may find the effect of this period somewhat negligible except for an occasional insight and a lessening of irregularities that tend to disturb the order. This certainly helps to maintain steady advancement regarding important concerns since inconsistency is less noticeable. If you care to examine, however, there is much more to this cycle than smoothing of the data. It really can bring out what is original in you and those around you so that you can step outside the status quo without overturning it, and a part of you that you never knew existed may suddenly appear.

Personal Aspects for Monday, August 31, 2015

Sun trine Saturn 1°19 arcseconds† 

Because you understand what is important and what is not, this is a favorable time to work on issues-particularly regarding those in authority. Capable of meeting any responsibility, you function best where the parameters are clearly defined. When the ground you stand on is firm, you accept more easily any lesson you receive. Efforts that you put forth are usually rewarded; success requires work. By taking a small step in the right direction, you can establish a lasting trend.

Moon square Sun at 0°12 arcminutes‡

This time may be a reflection of events begun a week ago; be mindful of any challenges, and then make adjustments as required. Asserting your will is a possibility now-conditions may demand that you take a stand. You feel more strongly about what is right for you and for those close to you, and you tend to reject what does not meet your standards.

Neptune sextile Saturn at 0°28 arcminutes

Opening whatever is closed is possible now as circumstances promote a more relaxed attitude to those areas that are unyielding. If you like to maintain a firm grip on certain aspects of your life, you can ease up a bit now and probably accomplish more. Wherever you exercise your authority, you likely are more effective during this cycle when you are less concerned with the literal facts and more attentive to the implied intent. Those whom you answer to are often more receptive at this time and may be willing to overlook missteps while allowing you greater latitude.

Being easier on yourself and others can actually bring you closer to your goals. Learning how to stay focused while not becoming locked in on a target can allow you to recognize possibilities that you otherwise might miss when your vision is narrow. Although the objectives that you seek should drive you now, you likely are more aware of their subtleties, and small adjustments that you implement now can have a large and helpful impact. By appreciating other sides to an issue or other ways to accomplish the same task, you likely access answers that before you might not have considered, and problems that seem intractable and are stuck can loosen.

Sometimes this cycle has a positive mental impact where you are able to reason with imagination. Greater pliability in your thinking can permit you to structure more openly, and you may recognize the value of incorporating creativity into any decision. Letting go of concerns rather than holding onto them can dissipate repetitive thought patterns that typically are negative. Although you can get things done during this period, you generally are more productive when you take time out for rest and contemplation. Disengaging from the strain of work not only offers relief, but it also can give you pause to realize how to function more efficiently.

This period may have little noticeable impact since it involves an influence that is difficult to detect. Responsibilities, however, may lose some of their weight now without any effort on your part. An attitude of acceptance can emerge that dissolves burdensome obligations while imperceptibly shifting your priorities. Whatever is out of place tends to find its right position more readily now when you don?t force it. If you sense that you are off course in any way, you may become more attuned to the right direction. All that may be required is one small step to get you back on track.

Personal Aspects for Sunday, August 30, 2015

Moon opposition Pluto at 1°42 arcseconds†
You may appear to others as a formidable force, and formidable forces may significantly shape you now as well. You likely have influence over others during this period, or you may seek it. There sometimes is an urge to control the lives of people, especially of those close to you, although you likely meet with resistance. It is possible that you can no longer abide the seeming manipulation that others exert causing you to react powerfully. If pushed to an extreme, you may bring aspects of your life to a close, although it can happen that circumstances beyond your command can do the same.

Personal concerns may take center stage during this cycle. Wherever there are long-standing differences, they may reach a peak. Generally, any patterns of interaction that have a history of conflict and ignorance (of the causes) can intensify now. However, the result of such polarities is to bring a profound awareness of their basis so that problems can be overcome.

While it is possible to breakthrough and to find common ground, it occasionally works out that the appropriate outcome is a severing of ties.

Conflict with others during this cycle is not the necessary catalyst for you to make profound changes within yourself. In fact, the more that you play an active role in eliminating unwanted behaviors on your own, the less likely you require others to facilitate the process. This interval does have you look deeply into your habitual responses and their causes, allowing you to recognize the difference between your actions to please others and your true needs. By affirming those that are yours, you can seek to make them more prominent, while those that are bound with the expectations of people can lose their dominance.

Situations may arise that demand your support. You may have to make a decision about whether to lend it or not, although the choice may be made for you. It is possible that you require the help of those closest to you, though they may not respond in the way you want. If you rely on family and intimate friends, this period may force you to rely on your own resources to provide for yourself. If you are usually self-reliant, you may find yourself having to depend on outside assistance. One purpose of this cycle is to get you in touch with your core, which gives you a sense of belonging, not only to a family or family-like group but also to life in general. To the extent that you feel disconnected, you have the capacity to change that. It may require that you move or make a significant break. Ultimately it comes down to maintaining what is vital and dispensing with what is inessential.


Moon trine Sun at 0°05 arcminutes‡
You have a clearer sense of your priorities. By appreciating who you are, you find yourself appreciated by others. This is an excellent time to take a break to take care of you. If you must stay involved, seek to express yourself; you should receive a positive response to heartfelt concerns that you show. Feeling better about who you are, it is easier to flow with the events of the moment.

Aspect for Friday, August 28, 2015

Mercury sextile Mars at 0°38 arcminutes

Thoughtful actions produce positive results. In planning ahead for possible consequences, you help to minimize potential conflicts. Capable of anticipating a next move, you are skillful in games you play and in the contacts you make. You tend to know what you want, and communicating your intentions is easier now; others are clear on where you stand. Stimulated by what is said or what you think, you eagerly seek answers-and find them.

Natal Chart and Transit Aspects for Thursday, August 27

Mercury conjunct Jupiter at 0°10 arcseconds†

The more active you are, the more you learn, although quiet reflection helps to put pieces together that before were scattered. Interactions bring opportunities, and supportive words make a positive difference. Combining knowledge with vision, you can create a successful plan, now and for your future. Beginning some type of work on self-improvement is effective-especially learning how to communicate confidently. Be wary of saying too much or believing all that you hear; being selective increases the enjoyment of what is available.


Mercury conjunct Uranus at 0°09 arcminutes‡

Today offers unusual communications and interactions; contacts made now can change your perspective. If you tend to think the same way about the same things, use this time to explore new, innovative-and even radical ideas. You may delight yourself in what you discover. Short trips furnish excitement and unexpected encounters. Seek to refresh and revitalize your mind by stretching the limits of what you know.

Personal Transits August 26, 2015

Mars sextile Venus at 0°15 arcseconds† (or 4⁄_1,000 °)

Attracted to strength, you like decisiveness―in others and in yourself. When those around you are assertive, you eagerly follow whoever has the right stuff. Enjoyment comes from being active, and you value a direct approach over any other, at least for now. Appreciation is easily given, and a kindly attitude softens any edges. What you love doing can provide a lot of pleasure today if you will take advantage of your passion.


Moon opposition Sun at 0°29 arcseconds (or 64⁄_1,000 °)

Of all the times that recur each month, this one brings a clearer picture of who you are as well as the truth you need to express. Taking charge where necessary heightens self-awareness. You can resolve certain issues now, and events that started two weeks ago may culminate. If discomfort exists, use it to better understand yourself and the way you feel towards others.


Neptune sextile Saturn at 0°38 arcminutes‡ (or 63⁄₁₀₀ °)

Opening whatever is closed is possible now as circumstances promote a more relaxed attitude to those areas that are unyielding. If you like to maintain a firm grip on certain aspects of your life, you can ease up a bit now and probably accomplish more. Wherever you exercise your authority, you likely are more effective during this cycle when you are less concerned with the literal facts and more attentive to the implied intent.

Moon sextile Neptune at 0°52 arcminutes (or 87⁄₁₀₀ °)

You are more empathetic than usual now. Paying attention to your dreams and feelings can provide you with an accurate read. Being open helps to dissolve any barriers. Enjoy your increased sensitivity and nurture yourself as well as others. Activities that involve subtlety, ambiguity, and escape soften your mind and ease the stress.

Transits Effective for August 23, 2015 (GMT August 24, 2015)

Mercury sextile Sun at 0°33 arcseconds*

People respect what you say when you communicate from the heart, while listening to what others say can give you an objective perspective. With an opportunity to know more about yourself, you can deepen self-knowledge by the answers you seek. Being childlike-or with children-keeps you young and makes learning fun.


Neptune sextile Saturn at 0°46 arcseconds

Opening whatever is closed is possible now as circumstances promote a more relaxed attitude to those areas that are unyielding. If you like to maintain a firm grip on certain aspects of your life, you can ease up a bit now and probably accomplish more.

Mercury sextile Neptune at 0°48 arcseconds

Less likely to pass judgment, you can provide a sympathetic ear to those who need you. Learning is easier when you are uncritical because you can recognize what you might ordinarily overlook-when biased. Being more receptive, you hear and see more than usual; you communicate and think more openly. Words help you to connect to what is universal. Thoughts inspire you.

Transits Effective August 22, 2015 (GMT August 23, 2015)

Mercury conjunct Pluto at 0°25 arcseconds*

Possessing a strong opinion, you may be compelled to speak-and forced to listen. Communicating your thoughts and feelings in whatever way is appropriate can provide a needed release. This often is an intense day for mental activity. With concerted effort, you can diminish the power of certain thoughts over you while increasing your power to think for yourself. Personal issues benefit from probing self-analysis and fearlessness of what you will uncover.


Mars conjunct Ascendant at 0°27 arcseconds

Your personal interactions will be highly charged during this time and you’re extremely direct and intense in your approach to other people. If you’re involved in work that demands your full attention you can focus this great passion into your project, but otherwise, you’ll be easily distracted by personal difficulties with other people. You have to watch being more defensive and sensitive to their opinions but if the situation calls for battle, you’re more than ready. You’re very competitive and have a need to win, be first and be the best in whatever you’re doing, but should avoid knocking other people over on your way to the finish line. Actually, physical work or competitive activities may be the best outlet for this energy, as you’ll be too tired to fight with other people. Be more careful of accidents and injuries during this time, as your body is moving very fast and your reactions are more impulsive.

Mars square Saturn at 0°29 arcseconds

Issues surface with those in authority, with parents, or as a parent. You are effective dealing with important matters when driven by a reasonable goal. Because immediate problems tend to hold your attention now, the big picture recedes into the background. Past obligations get reenergized, and greater responsibilities can press upon you-though you would like to dispense with them quickly. When moving too rapidly, you likely encounter obstacles. Take one step at a time to accomplish specific objectives.

Sun trine Midheaven at 0°34 arcseconds

You’re confident when dealing with authority figures today, and your ideas are compatible with their goals. You’ll find it easier to be noticed or recognized by those in power and encourage support for your projects or your own advancement. Creative or artistic endeavors will have a positive impact on the public and you can gain more respect from your peers. This is a good day to put your best foot forward and make a good impression in the business world.

Moon trine Mercury at 0°42 arcseconds

You attract the right information now, and you communicate with a clear idea of what is needed. Conversing with others or reading a good book makes time unwind. Short trips provide a learning experience-you connect well with all that is around you. You tend to listen sympathetically to those who seek a friend, and others are more receptive to what you have to offer.

Neptune sextile Saturn at 0°46 arcseconds

Opening whatever is closed is possible now as circumstances promote a more relaxed attitude to those areas that are unyielding.

Moon conjunct Sun 0°15s

Your personal New Moon is a time of new beginnings. Your needs are aligned with your wants right now, and it's an opportune time to make a few resolutions. Things seem to play in your style, so you don't have to stress or strain. The inner harmony you experience now is reflected in your outer experience and contributes to your personal success. You could experience some change or undergo inner changes that stimulate a new undertaking, relationship, or attitude change. You act with more confidence than usual. Without even trying, you are likely to draw attention to yourself or to receive support. This is an ideal time to establish inner peace and balance.

Mars conjunct Ascendant 0°15s

You have just emerged from a period in which you were less forthright or in which you were considering new plans but not quite ready to take action. Now, you are ready to go forward, push personal plans, or go after what you want. You are more direct, courageous, and initiating. If you are too hasty, this can be a time of a minor accident or some other slip-up. You are fired up, energetic, and in need of physical or competitive outlets.

Sun square Neptune 0°38s

This may be a discouraging day when things don't quite seem to go your way, or when you feel a bit drained. Take a break and don't start any serious new project today. Minor disappointments or just plain fatigue might hit you like a ton of bricks today. Lay low for more energizing times to come. Don't ask for anything, such as help, as it is unlikely to be forthcoming. Instead, find time to help someone. It could lift your spirits, and you won't fall into the easy tendency to feel sorry for yourself that this aspect often brings. Concentrating on artistic or spiritual pursuits is better than focusing on things that require straightforward, factual thinking today. It can be difficult knowing where or how to direct your willpower under this influence. It's also a challenge knowing where you stand with others. Avoid such things as scheduling surgery, important appointments, job interviews, or launches of new projects at this time.

Sun square Sun 0°39s

You might find you have to push a little harder during this transit than you normally would. Obstacles in your path tend to arrive now, although you are capable of turning them into positive energy. Challenges you face now are actually quite revealing if you look at them as learning experiences.

Mars square Saturn 0°48a

This is a time in which you are especially sensitive to the limitations or blocks in your path, which can point to frustration or stress. You may be especially impatient with protocol, red tape, traditional methods, superiors, and rules that seem oppressive. The trick is to realize that pushing matters right now simply won't do you any good. Try to think about the long term instead of pushing for immediate results.

Mercury sextile Mercury 0°59s

This is a time when you are bound to discover information that you need at just the right time. It's a strong period for objective observation and discussion.

Neptune sextile Saturn 0°49a

The problems and responsibilities of life may be seen in a new light, as part of a larger drama you are living (almost like a dream). You are able to handle difficulties more easily, seeing them as part of a larger story.
