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. 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.

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.

Personal Transits Aspecting Natal Generational Planets

Personal transits in aspect to natal generational planets, approaching, exact at the end of August

Jupiter Square Mars (exact August 22nd):

       Whatever your involvement you likely have an abundance of enthusiasm, and you tend to have many options to pursue. Making choices may prove a challenge, and you can become over-committed now if you do not show some selectivity: You generally are very restless and can be all over the map when you do not have a clear direction as a guide. Even knowing where you are going you will likely find many opportunities that tempt you into exploring new horizons, not that there is anything wrong with expanding your known world. In fact, this is an appropriate use of this cycle, but incidentally, experiences can distract you from what is important and essential.

       You often are on the go now, and if you are prone to lethargy or inactivity this can bring a welcome boost. If active by nature, you can become exhausted by the many commitments that you attempt to fulfill. It is probable that some of your promises you will be unable to keep; since you may have too much to do to satisfy everyone; new possibilities may appear regularly; and your attention is diverted. One of the lessons of this cycle is to learn how to choose wisely and, once you make a decision; stay with it until completion. You often are enthusiastic about starting but can bore easily when it comes to finishing the job. This does not mean that you have to follow something to the bitter end, but it does imply that if you commit yourself to something, be sure it is what is known  to you that can be accomplished.

       Confidence in what you do can bring you success, but you must know your capabilities even as you stretch your limits. This is an excellent time to grow and to expand, although it is all too easy for things to get out of control unless you have a clear understanding of any endeavor. Otherwise the learning may come after you have exceeded boundaries and paid a price. You tend to have an excess of energy that needs to express itself in some way. Adventures likely manifest now, and you can gain valuable experience from exploring all facets of your world. If you enjoy physical activity, sports and travel can offer the perfect outlet for your restless urges. If you prefer a mental approach, you benefit by devouring knowledge in its many guises.

       Generally, this period can provide a lot of excitement, and you are unlikely to find indifference an issue. No matter what happens you probably will benefit from your actions, although not all of them will work out if you move randomly through this interval. The key to success here is to have a plan or a purpose for whatever you undertake, even if it is merely to learn from your mistakes.

Uranus Square Mercury (exact October 8th):

       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 not inappropriate 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.

Transit Mars Trine Mars 0°19s

You combine a healthy sense of courage and confidence with a great deal of focused, physical energy, making this a great time for gaining momentum in your business projects and convincing other people of your abilities through direct and productive action. You’re determined to win and quite capable of achieving your goals, and other people will move out of your way rather than try to stop you. Rather than reacting to personal challenges, you see any adversity as motivation to push even harder and prove yourself through your actions. Your physical energy is high and you’re coordinated in your movements, and may enjoy athletic activities that release this energy and allow you to feel like a champion. Use this time to push ahead in your endeavors rather than waiting for things to come to you.


Transit Mercury Trine Saturn 0°56s

This is an excellent day for any mental work involving accuracy, precision or analyzing facts. Your thinking is deliberate, cautious and organized, and your conclusions will be logical and easily understood by other people. You may have more demands and responsibilities, but your attitude is serious and you’ll strive to accomplish as much as you can, making sure that you don’t sacrifice accuracy and efficiency in the performance of your job. You may have an enlightening conversation with a supervisor or mentor, or someone much older or established in their profession. You may also teach or attend a class.



Moon Trine Mars 0°40a

In knowing what you need, you can take the steps to satisfy it. You are not one to sit around now-being active feels good. There is emotion tied to your actions, and it is easy to really get into something although you may lose interest shortly after the beginning. You are successful, however, at initiating things and in getting others interested in what you desire. Having an accurate sense of what is right to do, you are effective taking charge.

August 11, 2015 Aspects to Personal Planets

Mars Sextile North Node 0°22s

Your actions are timed right so your well- being and relationship to society are improved. Others approve, support and cooperate in your endeavors to bring about positive, constructive change.

Transit Venus Square Neptune 0°30s

You feel more vulnerable when dealing with other people, allowing them to take advantage of you. You may have difficulty standing up for yourself or promoting your own interests, feeling the need to sacrifice your desires as a sign of your sincerity. You may be moody or withdrawn, preferring to be by yourself and stay in another world, which will make it more difficult to focus at work. You may need to make room in your day for some form of escape, or spend tomorrow sorting out the confusions of today. This is not a good day to deal with financial matters, as you tend to be very unrealistic or disorganized in your plans, or have to deal with people who are dishonest; you should put off handling serious financial matters for another time. Your creativity is very stimulated, but you prefer dealing with abstracts and staying in your imagination rather than engaging in work that involves precision, logical thinking or giving form to your creations. 

Transit Mars Sextile Uranus 0°44s

You have a need for rebellion during this time and may work to change or reform your system of productivity. You may upgrade machines or implement new techniques to improve the flow of work. You’re accepting of other people, no matter how different they are, and will treat them as equals. You enjoy stimulating conversations and will be open to other opinions, but yours are not likely to change as a result. You have a definite agenda and won’t adjust to change easily, but if you really need a change and aren’t open to it, sudden events may accomplish it for you. Be flexible and think on your feet, and you’ll easily handle whatever happens. It may be hard to control your nervous energy during this time, and you need to exercise more caution when handling machines or electrical appliances, or driving in your car.

Venus Conjunct Moon 0°53s

The softer sides of your nature come through. A quiet day-especially at home-elicits good feelings. Entertaining or being entertained appeals to you, and you experience harmony when the setting is intimate. Adapting to changing conditions is easier because challenges are fewer. Use this time to reconnect to the happy moments of your past as well as enjoying a variety of pleasures in the present.

Your personal interactions will give you a lot of comfort, as other people are more sensitive to your moods and can shed light on the most positive aspects of your situation. You’re also more attuned to their moods and may be the one offering support or affection. Your home may be the center of meetings or social gatherings and you’ll enjoy being with family or working with people you know. You may have important financial dealings that relate to land, property or your future security. Just be careful of letting your immediate mood dictate financial decisions and a getting a second opinion will often be helpful.

Transiting Jupiter Trine Natal Midheaven (at 0°44 arcminutes)

This is a very fortunate time for you, when you’ll have the opportunity to promote yourself and advance your own goals. Your faith and optimism are abundant and nothing seems out of your reach, which will inspire other people to follow your lead and support your efforts. You can easily attract the attention of influential people who will clear the path for your advancement, or may find a mentor who teaches you an important lesson. You may also want to share your wisdom and teach, but avoid taking a self-righteous or arrogant stance. This is a good time to plan for expansion in business and your positive attitude will help you succeed in your efforts. You may travel or be involved with foreign affairs and are more interested in broadening your perspective on the world around you. This desire for expansion may also manifest as a fortunate opportunity to relocate. There are a few cautions to keep in mind, mainly concerning the lack of self-discipline. You enjoy being self-indulgent and even lazy, which you’ll probably get away with, but keep in mind that this energy of expansion will cause you to gain weight more easily.

August 3, 2015 Transits

Transiting Mars Trine Natal Neptune (at 0°04 arcseconds)

Doing things without a set agenda helps the day flow-eventually you will arrive where you need to go. While the route you take may meander, the journey is more enjoyable because of what you may discover-or uncover. Since it is easier to act in an open and kind manner, helping others comes effortlessly. Fantasies and intuitive hunches can lead you in the right direction; achieving what you want means letting go of expectations.


Transiting Jupiter Trine Natal Midheaven (at 0°59 arcseconds)

This is a very fortunate time for you, when you’ll have the opportunity to promote yourself and advance your own goals. Your faith and optimism are abundant and nothing seems out of your reach, which will inspire other people to follow your lead and support your efforts. You can easily attract the attention of influential people who will clear the path for your advancement, or may find a mentor who teaches you an important lesson. You may also want to share your wisdom and teach, but avoid taking a self-righteous or arrogant stance. This is a good time to plan for expansion in business and your positive attitude will help you succeed in your efforts. You may travel or be involved with foreign affairs and are more interested in broadening your perspective on the world around you. This desire for expansion may also manifest as a fortunate opportunity to relocate. There are a few cautions to keep in mind, mainly concerning the lack of self-discipline. You enjoy being self-indulgent and even lazy, which you’ll probably get away with, but keep in mind that this energy of expansion will cause you to gain weight more easily.


Transiting Venus Trine  Natal Midheaven (at 0°08 arcminutes)

You’re very charming and pleasant with authority figures and your ideas will likely be in sync with their needs. You express yourself with confidence and self-assurance, making it easy to convince them. You’re very attractive and will make an extra effort to be appropriately dressed and well mannered, and may attract the attention of people in power who feel comfortable with your easy approach. Your creative work will have a positive impact on the general public, making this a great day to present your art to other people. You may experience some luck with financial projects or attract financial support for your endeavors.


Transiting Sun Trine Natal Venus (at 0°59 arcminutes)

Capable of uniting what before seemed unrelated, you harmonize well. Your creativity is more accessible, and there are opportunities to make someone-and yourself-happy. This is a good time for a party, or for anything that brings you pleasure. Objects of beauty attract you. Without much effort, you can make this an enjoyable day. Observe what makes you happy and seek to make that a central part of your life.


Transiting Moon Trine Mercury (at 3°00 arcminutes)

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.


Transiting Saturn Conjunct Mars (at 4°00 arcminutes)

You may experience strong pressures during this cycle that can frustrate you unless you have an outlet to channel the energy. This is an excellent time to focus on a personal goal and pursue it without being deflected from your course. If you know what you want, you now can harness considerable force to attain what your desire. However, a lack of direction can mean that you struggle to get much done, and promising avenues often turn out as dead-ends. You may have difficulty getting motivated, since overcoming inertia may overshadow every impulse.

While you may have a clear ambition, obligations may redirect your drive towards what others demand of you, and those in authority can diminish your ability to pursue your own objectives. If you resist the demands placed upon you, you can become angry from trying to make things happen against the will of the times. Being patient and accepting the limitations to your desires can fortify you for the occasion when restrictions no longer impede you. However, you can accomplish much during this cycle by working hard on the tasks at hand though it may mean placing your own agenda on hold. Should you have the freedom to follow your dream, you likely still have to persevere against setbacks, as progress generally is slow.

Exerting too much force can have unpleasant consequences, especially if it is a reaction to something you dislike. If active by nature and you exercise restraint, you can find this interval a weight that holds you back. If disposed to a cautious approach, you may grind to a halt. One purpose of this period is to slow movement down sufficiently so that you can see clearly what you truly want and what you don?t want. Then you can redirect your efforts toward what really impels you, which ultimately can allow you to achieve your end. Any discipline that is a combination of mental and physical training and that concentrates your energy in a purposeful yet deliberate manner likely produces positive effects which can offset any disappointment now.

Although this sometimes is a debilitating interval, it usually manifests only if you fight the current and insist on going against the grain. Pressures exist now that are likely too much for you to conquer, and you do best to bide your time, otherwise you can encounter one obstacle after another. They serve as a reminder that there is a time to press forward and time to wait, and that you benefit more by saving your strength rather than wasting it. If you must confront life aggressively, you can still succeed by knowing well your capabilities and choosing your competition and engagements carefully.

Begins Neptune Square Neptune

How can Neptune square itself? In the transiting/natal chart, that's how. Neptune is the planet of "all is not what it seems" in any astrological chart, horary or otherwise. In a dream, I was visited by a "so-called" nemesis who never seemed to have my best interests at heart. In a professional setting, why should she? We were in different departments and had done absolutely nothing to this person to garner any sort of retribution from her.

Turns out that my feelings that she had been at the center of a significant issue affecting whether I could work at this place were baseless. She had a piece of paper with the date "December 17, 2014" written on it. It was a checklist (I can only assume a competency checklist as, as of now, I am amid completing one for a completely non-related line-of -work as we speak). A little background: charges of in competency were leveled at me so that my boss could replace me with her best friend's daughter who had just received her degree from an institution of higher learning. And, for the record, the Superintendent offered me my job back, or at least a position at my old school, which i turned down "in the better interest of the student body and overall morale of the school". In other words, I chose not to return and exact revenge to make their lives a living hell.)

 In a nutshell, this dream encourages me to move on from this horrible experience that nearly made me leave teaching (for good) because of being subject, nee "bullied", for over a year because of my physical appearance--no, not by students, but by other teachers. I had a good lawsuit pending against the board for this, but they made me an offer I couldn't refuse, a dream job at a much better school, an apology and a "thank you" for being both professional and patient during the process. Here's what "futureminders" has to say about Neptune square Neptune, which happens only once in a lifetime:

"Conditions may not be what they seem, and uncertainty can keep you running in circles. Because this cycle involves subtle forces, you may not clearly recognize their effects, and sometimes there are none. However, influences behind the scenes, while they may be hidden, can have an impact. Confusion can arise at this time because you often see things as they appear rather than how they really are. A challenge now is to distinguish clearly between fact and fiction. Otherwise you can get lost or possibly feel victimized by misguided faith." [Read the rest of it here.]

 The defecation has yet to hit the oscillation at my old school, but I wish them all the luck in the world. They're going to need it.
