INTRODUCTION

WHAT IS CHINESE ASTROLOGY?

Like our own western astrology, Chinese astrology uses twelve different signs or symbols to define twelve basic categories of human being. Similarly to western astrology, the Chinese system uses a person's birth date as the basis for his sign, so in some ways the two systems are alike. Now, let's have a look at how they differ.

Our own astrological signs are monthly. Each of our signs has a different heaven-inspired mythological name and corresponds to a period equivalent to a single Sun cycle. If you were born in the Sun cycle period labeled Aquarius, then in western astrological terms you are an Aquarian. Chinese zodiacal signs are yearly. Each Chinese sign has a different animal name and corresponds to a period equivalent to an entire Chinese calendar year. If you were born in a yearlong period which the Chinese label the Dragon Year, then in Chinese astrological terms you are a Dragon. Simple? Yes.

Chinese astrology is so simple that you need only know the year of your birth to find out which of the twelve signs is yours. But there is one tricky aspect to consider. The Chinese New Year falls on a different date every year. This holiday can occur as early as mid-January or not until late February. If you were born in either January or February, that is, if you are either Capricorn or Aquarius in western astrology, you need to know whether you were born before or after the Chinese New Year. This interpretation has calculated that information for you.

The Chinese animal symbols are: Rat, Ox, Tiger, Cat, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog and Pig. These animals always appear in the same order. Since the beginning of recorded Chinese time, 2637 B.C., the animal sequence has recurred faithfully every twelve years. It always begins with the Rat and ends with the Pig. And to make things even more convenient for us Twentieth-Century Westerners, 1900 was a Rat year. That means that the next Rat year was 1912 and 1924, 1936, 1948, 1960, 1972, 1984 were all Rat years. Anybody born in any of these years is a Rat.

Chinese astrology, in one form or another, was widely used all over the Orient from the fortieth century B.C. It became especially popular between 2953 and 2838 B.C. under the Emperor Fu Hsi and again under Shen Nung, who was born in the twenty-eighth century B.C. The zodiacal system and its philosophies as we know them today were codified by Ta Nao, an able minister of Emperor Huang Ti, born about 2704 B.C. It was made official in 2637 B.C. and was formally inaugurated, as were other historical events, at the sixtieth anniversary of the same popular Emperor Huang Ti's accession to the throne. For forty-six centuries thereafter, this system was used as the national standard and touched on all state affairs in China.

People born in Pig years are all somewhat naive and hate to say no; Rats are aggressive and talkative; Dogs loyal and ardent, Snakes altruistic and attractive; Dragons healthy and noisy; Horses independent and pragmatic; Goats dependent and creative and have no sense of time; Oxen slow and eloquent; Tigers rash and magnetic; Cats flee conflict and love tradition; Monkeys are entertaining and give lots of presents; Roosters are resourceful and bossy and adore clothes.

YIN AND YANG

Yin and Yang are the two main opposite but equal Chinese philosophical forces. The power of Yin is sometimes interpreted as passive, female, docile, receptive and society-oriented. Conversely, the Yang energy is said to be aggressive, male and socially indifferent. To the Chinese, everything in life is either Yin or Yang, and the trick to achieving harmony is knowing how to balance Yin and Yang so they operate in synergy rather than clash.

According to Chinese thought, any circumstance in the universe - a rainstorm, a night of love, a child taking its first steps, a wobbly bedstead, a frantic phone call, a dish of steaming pasta, a traffic accident, a dancing bride and groom or a washing-line in the sunlight - is the direct result of an energy balance or imbalance between Yin and Yang.

THE FIVE ELEMENTS - WOOD, FIRE, EARTH, METAL, AND WATER

To allow for movement to occur and bring about change, Chinese philosophy calls upon the five elements as agents of change and reaction. Change, the Chinese think, derives from the influence of the five main elements - Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water - on the basic Yin or Yang energies. Like in the old rock, paper, scissors game, each of these five Chinese elements has the ability to control and/or destroy the previous element, and is capable of producing the element that directly follows it. In the regenerative cycle of the elements, Water engenders Wood. Wood begets Fire. Fire burns to Earth. Earth creates Metal and Metal gives way to Water.

Wood is characterized by the color green. Wood heralds the beginning of life, springtime and buds, sensuality and fecundity. Wood's influence affects the liver, the gallbladder and, by extension, the digestion. Wood needs moisture to thrive. Its two opposite yet equally emotional forces are rage and altruism. The Wood person will be expansive, outgoing and socially conscious.

Wood, in its turn, can create and nourish Fire. Fire's signatory color is red. Fire is hot weather, satisfaction of nature, aridity and dust. The tongue and the small intestine are the centers of attention in the Fire person's body. Fire makes heat, which either warms or burns. The Fire person must constantly seek to balance a tendency to explode and possibly destroy, against a desire to create coziness and warmth. Passionate by nature, this impatient, ebullient person must strive to keep his flame under control.

Earth is created from the ashes of the Fire. Now we are in the soothingly satisfying late summer cycle. Earth's favorite color is yellow, which represents the equanimity between beginnings and. endings. The weather of Earth is mild or temperate. In the human body, Earth influences spleen, pancreas and mouth. Earth's two opposite but equal forces which need to be kept in constant balance are enhancing and smothering. On the one hand Earth gives care and allows for growth and improvement. On the other, Earth buries roots and snuffs out breath. Earth people are gifted for fairness and have the ability to commit themselves to protracted projects and complete Herculean tasks with ease. They must struggle against a penchant for worry.

The Earth grows Metal in her veins. Metal says white and autumn. Metal is cool, crisp weather. Metal's effect on the body centers in the lungs and respiratory system. It only secondarily rules the large intestine and the nose. Metal people like to communicate. They need to keep discord and harmony in constant balance. Metal signifies the onset of winter. Its influence can sometimes add sadness or gloom to an astrological chart. Two of Metal's emotional forces are melancholy and romance. I see Metal as Wagnerian. Metal people must guard against a tendency to wallow in nostalgia.

Lastly, Metal begets Water - groundwater trickling its way through layers of the Earth's core. Water's color is blue. Its season is full-blown winter. Water is always moving, fluid, and mutational. In our bodies, water's influence affects our plumbing systems, the kidneys and the bladder. The ear, too, comes under the spell of Water. Hence people born in Water-ruled years are frequently musical. They pick up on everything. Be it good or bad, they never miss a vibe. Water-ruled creatures are always very sensitive and sometimes even mentally fragile. The downside of Water's influence, then, is a stressful nervousness. To balance that fidgety, squeamish, overly sensitive side, Water endows its subjects with the noblest quality of all, kindness and sympathy. Sometimes too permeable, the Water-ruled must take precautions against drowning in the chagrin of those they see as less fortunate than themselves.

So, the five elements cause the commotion and are responsible for creating and maintaining both balance and imbalance - for moving things around and making life interesting. These purveyors of change can be controlled or not, depending on how one manages them.

Each animal year of the Chinese zodiac has been assigned one of the five elements. The elements each turn up twice in the cycle going away for another ten years. The five elements are always presented in the above order. Once we know this, we can understand how the elements directly affect us and pertain to individual characters.

The elements work by governing each animal sign once through the sixty-year "century" You will not come across a Water Horse more than once in sixty years. This fact alone accounts for sixty different basic character or destiny types. Further, when a learned Chinese astrologer draws up a chart for an individual person according to the Chinese astrological system, he takes into consideration the month and the season, the time of day and the type of weather on the day of birth as well as certain astral configurations at the moment of birth. In all, good Chinese astrologers deal with a base of no less than 512,640 different possible personality charts. This means that only two people in a million stand a chance of being born with identical destinies.

YOUR CHINESE SIGN

You are full of fun and games and enjoy being with people you like. You, however, despise confinement. Your need for freedom and craving for motion, your insatiable thirst for the novel and outrageous, your hunger for mental challenge, passion for full-swing elbow-room latitude, and your remarkable ability to adapt to any new circumstance in seconds (and often only for seconds) all make you both incapable and unwilling to accept and repression or restriction. You refuse to be caged. Not that you are greedy for space, nor do you demand lavish or vast homes, but you must be left alone to be independent.

Whatever havoc you may wreak on your fellows, one thing is certain: the word Monkey does not rhyme with Donkey. You are a wily, clever person and are renowned for your extraordinary problem-solving talents. Give you a baffling issue to settle, a negotiation to handle or a filthy hundred-year-old attic to clean and, providing you are not held to a deadline or forced in any way, you'll set straight to work, heaving things and ideas here and there, darting your attention everywhere at once and applying your nimble intelligence to every nuance of the issue. Then you come up with the single most ingenious answer ever.

Although you yourself are often a neurotic's neurotic, you are able to help others solve their emotional and mental problems. Advice and good counsel are your strong suit. You know how to listen closely and work out solutions at the same time. Even you, are amazed at the originality you apply in formulating answers to our weightiest problems. You often come out the winner, especially if the fight is hard. No rules need apply. The game is about how to win with one's wits. Not with one's might.

Most of your neurotic behavior stems from a habit of repeating comfortable patterns in emotional situations. Perhaps you learned how to deflect intimacy at a very young age. You somehow cling to that method of avoiding close contact and are loath to give it up. Even when advised to do so in therapy, you tend to resist changes in your neurotic patterns. You either don't want to see yourself mirrored or you can't. If your mother was alcoholic, you may choose alcoholic girlfriends and go through life wondering why - and complaining about it. "Why is Mary so crazy? She never shows up." You whine. You know that Mary drinks and you also know that she is famous for being late or absent when needed. Yet, you don't really want to admit the truth about Mary because you might have to abandon her and you don't care to break the pattern started when you were so very young. Monkeys often need years of therapy to break bad habits and shed neuroses.

Aside from and along with your problem-solving gifts, you are enthralled by the sound of your own chatter. You talk a lot. You are never boring, but you can be unnecessarily long-winded. Your bedtime speech to a child may become a full scale lecture on metaphysics or golf.

As a natural teacher, you have opinions on everything from politics to lawn sprinklers. Yet, as you are essentially tolerant, you are unusually respectful of the opinions of others. You adore a spirited conversation and worship background noise. Just for company you'll turn on a portable radio in church, flip a few TV channels during your own wedding, switch on the news at the most solemn point in a love spat. And in planes, trains or even bomb shelters, you are sure to engage strangers in spontaneous chitchat. You could chat up a corpse.

You always have a joke, an anecdote, or a yarn to share with any audience you can corner for long enough to tell it. You are not as eloquent as the Ox, and are less persuasive than the Horse, but you need to be amusing and instructive. Most of all, you need to please your public, which makes you one of the Chinese zodiac's best hosts.

Give you a potentially dull situation and you'll turn it into a Broadway production. And better yet, you'll pay for it. You are notoriously generous when it comes to spending money on others. You can't resist watching people's eyes light up when you give them a present, find them a special treat, or locate just the right holiday spot for them. When challenged to please someone, you are led into some rich temptations.

Because of your curiosity, you think everything is worth knowing about. For one so active and mobile, you have remarkable perseverance when it comes to studying and gathering information. You can plough through tomes for fact-finding purposes or sit for hours poring over charts, tables and relief maps. Many learned geniuses were born in Monkey years.

You are hard to describe. You nearly always show a strangely harmonious mixture of contradictory strengths and faults. You are sometimes exasperatingly childlike, yet surprisingly sophisticated, adult and practically unshockable. One skill you are usually not gifted for is the learning of foreign languages. You can only get so far with all that memorization and mimicry and then you stall out and begin using hand signals to talk to people from other cultures.

As a friend, you are both loyal and devoted, yet as a lover you can be flighty and faithless. Sometimes you gossip, meddle and pry. Other times a safecracker can't get you to spill so much as one bean.

You have no time for prejudice or outdated social custom. Snobbery bores you and the word racism doesn't exist for you. You are a truly fair and equitable person. Yet if you feel trapped or cornered, or even personally justified, you can surprise even yourself by committing an isolated survivalist act of unreason and injustice.

As you don't take kindly to repression, you have no time for conflict with authority. You rarely get nabbed for bending laws. You are supple of mind and body, and good at moving through the minefields and earthquakes of life without ever feeling so much as an aftershock. As much as true disaster stalks the very paw prints of Tigers and tracks the wake of the Dragon's fire, it avoids you.

You are talented for both ruse and hypocrisy. Call it diplomacy if you will, it's still a form of deception. You owe much of your social success to your ability to nod and smile while fools spew inanities into your ears. You don't always respect the opinions of others, but you enjoy a rare talent for maintaining an agreeable countenance in the face of discord. Because you can fool your audience with clever double talk, you often prevail. Unafraid of subterfuge and not burdened by petty moralities, you are a canny piece of work. You are clever and sometimes unscrupulously cagey. But it's more than that. You are not just a rebel or a renegade. You are satisfied to be truly marginal. Society doesn't interest you. Frankly, you couldn't care less. You are oblivious, self-motivated and damnably free-spirited.

Remember those little bronze statues that schoolmistresses used to keep on their bookshelves? Three monkeys, one with a paw over his eyes, one with both paws over his ears and one with a paw clamped over his mouth. Underneath were etched the words "See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil." A better portrait of the Monkey character I have yet to see.

MONKEY HEALTH

You need to eat often and have an annoying tendency to reach for and hang on to whatever is sitting in the middle of the table and has caught your fancy. No use our protesting because, in a wink, you have put the food in your mouth and devoured it.

What is it about you and food? It's simple. you have a kinky attitude toward food. If not urged or forced to seek variety in your diet, you may simply eat the same things all the time. You are not a pig. You don't stuff yourself at meals or drink and eat too much and grow obese. You just have this odd snack-and-grab-it habit that can drive normal people mad.

The Chinese say that Monkey subjects are born fragile and get stronger as they grow older. Your bones and teeth need reinforcement while you are small. Yogurt and cottage cheese should be flavored with fresh fruit and no sugar.

Very early on, you must be encouraged to eat vegetables and fruit, even between meals, and to steer clear of fatty meat. Pork and sausage should be avoided. No fats are to be served with starches such as rice or potatoes or pasta. Your digestive tract needs each element of the diet to arrive as a separate item to be dealt with on its own. A plateful of toasted bread, preferably whole-wheat, should not be slathered with butter or there will be trouble. You can eat cheese, yes, but not with bread or crackers; pasta if you will, but not with greasy sauces. Fresh tomato sauce made with olive oil is safest.

You very likely have long thin limbs, and if these are not exercised or kept supple and in shape, you will become brittle as you age. It is wise for you to engage in exercise which strengthen the muscles of the arms and legs. Squash, tennis, hiking, skiing and fencing are all good. Strenuous exercise, such as weightlifting and mountaineering, is not advised.

Your skin is usually clear in childhood, but later on allergies may plague you. Although you are spared the ravages of adolescent acne, as an adult, you may suffer from psoriasis and other nervous skin disorders such as shingles and, oddly, dandruff. You are quite nervous and this anxiety often leads to unbecoming skin disorders. For psoriasis, the best remedy is lots of exercise in the sun and plenty of vitamins A and D. Wheat germ and whole grains, bean sprouts and cold-pressed oils, all foods containing the B vitamins, should be favored in your diet. Circulatory troubles are not uncommon for you. As your blood doesn't always move around as quickly as it might, you are often ultra-sensitive to cold in your extremities and may also suffer intermittent dips in your blood pressure. Vertigo, migraines, giddiness and even fainting spells can ensue. Poor circulation can also lead to hemorrhoids, varicose veins and sometimes arrhythmic heartbeat. Nosebleeds, gum disease and tooth loss may also besiege you.

Ideally, you should live in quiet country surroundings, vary your diet, eat three square meals including phosphorus-rich foods like oysters and fish, and avoid all stimulants. Snacking? Avoid it unless you munch on an apple or grab some other fresh fruit or vegetable to stem your hunger. Above all, you should get a lot of sleep. But you hardly ever can. Even when you do sleep, you lurch around all night. Instead of riding out these insomniac episodes by getting out of bed and reading, writing or doing a crossword till you become sleepy again, you lie there twitching and tossing about, chewing off your knuckles in the dark.

You love the pulse of city life. You adore being lively and ready for action. Any advice about sleeping in tranquil surroundings is about as useful as sending a stodgy Ox to a crowded, thumping, noisy sex-filled discotheque for a rest.

MONKEY COMPATIBILITIES

Monkey with Rat

If all else fails, the two of you can go on the road as a comedy duo. Humor, games, parties, and friends! What fun you'll have! How lucky you are to have been brought together! Shared, your lives will be a never-ending roller-coaster ride. You incessantly grimace from the top of the jungle gym and have the Rat in perpetual stitches. Amid guffaws, the Rat suggests funnier, more clever antics, inciting you with ever more hysterical moves. It's a matrimonial picnic.

The sometimes repressed Rat will become a tiresome chatterbox alongside you. But you never tire of the clever Rat. It's like owning a walking radio show. Both so personable, the two of you will always be dining out or entertaining at home. You have a multitude of friends and spend little time alone. As neither is afraid of hard work, money comes easily to you.

You sometimes fib or dissimulate in order to conceal you occasional sexual promiscuity. Should you betray the ever-devoted Rat and he or she find out, the relationship will certainly become strained for a time. But divorce is rare between you. Who would want to give up life in an amusement park of joy?

Monkey with Ox

If the Ox can relinquish stubborn conformism and trust you, you can greatly improve the quality of his or her life. In return for your gift of freedom, the Ox will lend you security. Much to everyone's surprise, the Ox, usually incensed by any disturbance of routine, is fascinated by your trickiness. You, in turn, try harder to amuse and enchant your faithful mate.

Both are basically practical and project-oriented. Moreover, you can teach Oxen to step outside themselves, be willingly kind to others, and to help out the less fortunate. Charity gives the Ox a special thrill, and the Ox will be grateful to you for opening his or her eyes to the needs of the poor.

Under the covers, you spice up the Ox's humdrum technique. With your agile tutelage, the Ox can expect to learn much more than a few dancing techniques.

Monkey with Tiger

You two make eager lovers. Initially, you will leap frequently on each other's bones, accomplishing astonishing feats of extreme passion. In the long run, the ardor may die a natural death because Tigers hate to be clung to, and your innately neurotic tendencies do involve a certain amount of clinging.

The strong intellectual tug between you and the Tiger frequently keeps you together anyway. The Tiger admires your keen eye for strategy and you enjoy and applaud the Tiger's feisty wit and temerity. You give the Tiger plenty of presents and kudos. The Tiger gives you spunk and encouragement. The two of you have an easy common viewpoint and, even if you cannot keep the love flame burning, will go far together as lifelong pals.

Except. the Chinese say that the Tiger should beware. Traditionally, you are the Tiger's natural enemy. Marriage between Monkey and Tiger is not advised.

Monkey with Cat

The two of you are intellectually well matched. You both enjoy being in cultural venues, seeking out new exhibitions or museums, and learning about subjects of particular interest to one or both of you. The meeting of two like minds can be the basis of a lifetime of wedded harmony.

Emotionally, however, there will be snags. The Cat hates unexpected change and does not enjoy surprises. Discretion, for the Cat, is nine-tenths of the law. You, on the other hand, live for change and enjoy leaping about from place to place. You adore being in the limelight, amusing cronies and carrying on in public. Moreover, the Cat takes him- or herself very seriously. Not too many jokes allowed. You make fun of everything (including your mate) and think of the world as a giant silliness.

The success and longevity of this relationship depends on the degree of passion the two of you can extract from your intensely cerebral friendship. Neither expects syrupy romance and tries to maintain a cynical distance from all syrupy or sentimental notions. You may require a push from an outside source (e.g. dicey love triangle, savvy therapist, good friend etc.) to get you to surrender to the natural human impulse to love and be loved, no matter what!

Monkey with Dragon

Despite the obvious differences in your characters, you two have a lot going for you. The Dragon is bombastic and needs to be adored, yet reveres your keen intelligence and ability to see around corners. You love spectacle and invariably enjoy the show that Dragons put on. Dragons get themselves embroiled in world class problems. You are a born problem solver.

There is plenty of room for personal evolution in this couple. Impressed by the efficiency of your exceptional mind, the Dragon (atypically) will become almost dependent. He or she will let up on the accelerator from time to time and even take an occasional back seat to your brilliance. You enjoy being appreciated for your skills and talents, are not particularly interested in the number one position, and can thus allow a Dragon bask in the footlights. As a result of this clever balance, the Dragon/Monkey match becomes a strong bond, built on compromise and mutual respect.

Sex, however, may not be the strongest element that binds the two of you. Your normally healthy appetite seems moderate by comparison to the Dragon's voracious and conspicuous need for consumption of his or her mate's intimate favors.

Monkey with Snake

Auspicious beginnings encourage the two of you to join forces and operate as a team. You find wisdom and consideration in the Snake's personality. The Snake enjoys your charm and peppy energy. At first, you seem a truly complementary pair.

After a time, however, you will see that all you have in common is a taste for helping others, a charitable bent which binds you ever so loosely together. The Snake, of course, always takes off on extramarital adventures. You? Well, you couldn't care less: if affairs turn up, so much the better. If not, you can take them or leave them alone.

The Snake likes elegance and wants his or her life carefully accessorized. You are bored by the very idea of accessorizing anything, so you dress down rather than dressing up. You are spontaneous; the Snake ponderous. The Snake is romantic, you are logical. Snake is sophisticated, you are Bohemian and carefree. You love to converse, but dialogue becomes difficult because Snakes find it hard to divulge their inner feelings. Breakdowns in communications might be the death of this relationship.

Your sex life usually compensates for much of the strife between you. Although sex is not always your strongest suit, the Snake succeeds in turning you on in a big way. The complicity of elaborate sex games may ensure a basis for the two of you to consolidate your union, despite your essential differences.

Monkey with Horse

A mutual desire to stay abreast of events, mingle in society, and be part of what's happening in the outside world will constitute the initial attraction between you two. You are so versatile, imaginative and amusing that Horses have trouble resisting your charms. You feel that serious Horses need cheering up, and you are inspired to make them laugh. You also appreciate the Horse's strict sense of duty and ability to endure hard work. You love to join forces and solve problems together.

Communication may not be your friend. You are an inveterate neurotic who cherishes unhealthy behavior patterns. Although you chatter a good bit, you don't open up easily. Horses are guarded and conservative about speaking up on their own behalf. Much tension may build. You should agree (before reaching the ulcer stage) to see a therapist or counselor regularly. Otherwise, unexpressed emotions will cause the death of your union.

A brilliant sex life is in store for the two of you. You are mutually energetic and fanciful about romance. The Horse may want more sex than you do, but your fertile imagination will compensate for lack of appetite. As long as the two of you don't sit around complacently, patting each other on the back about how well your couple "works," you can create a lasting bond. Work on your couple. It will be well worth the time and money in the long run.

Monkey with Goat

A mutual lightheartedness will draw the two of you into a joyous relationship. Your energy alone can carry the couple and, because you are very generous, you will not mind being the sole provider. If you are doing well, your whole existence can consist solely of your work and the Goat's playful occupations.

The sex will be less than wonderful, though, because you aren't the same sort of sensitive lover as the Goat. He or she needs constant caresses. The Goat is romantic and sentimental, while you are a practical lover whose lovemaking resembles a healthful gymnastic more than a swooning match.

The Goat's moral dependence may become irritating to you, who long to move about freely without undue constraint. Having to stay at home, coaxing a grumpy Goat out of pessimistic moods and rousing him or her from inertia may be more than your independent soul can bear.

If the two of you have a family, it may help to hold you together. The Goat can stay securely at home while you wander free. It's a sound combination, providing you can eventually support the Goat in leisurely style.

Monkey with Monkey

You two make great companions. You both love in a hands-off fashion. Neither interferes with the other's progress by merely looking for ego-strokes. The two of you usually create a project-oriented family atmosphere wherein each member of the group has individual responsibilities and house holding belongs to everyone. Cooking and washing up, shopping and even ironing may be shared equally. Monkey #1 is never too proud to do laundry. And Monkey #2 doesn't mind changing the oil in the car. Both of you are race, creed and color blind. Sexually slanted competition doesn't exist between the two of you.

Problems (and there aren't many that two Monkeys can't solve better than one) will arise in the financial arena. Neither of you likes doing accounts, writing checks, or sending letters to protest outrageous gas and electricity bills. As a couple, you may fall behind and ruin your reputation. As both of you are work and people-oriented, you will need to hire a bookkeeper to hold your finances together.

Sex is not often the foremost consideration between two Monkeys. You both enjoy it and even prefer having sex with each other. But you are not overly preoccupied by the intensity or endurance of your sexual lives. If and when it happens, you are excited and happy. Without it, neither curls up and dies. Promiscuity might be a dot on the horizon, but dalliances are of no consequence, as you make a committed couple. You both believe in personal freedom.

Monkey with Rooster

Not much is going on sexually between the two of you. Roosters are possessive and anxious about their position in relationships. Their instinct is to anchor their prey. You need miles of rope to feel good about yourself. You have to roam amid people, jabber with others, and find solutions to ever more important problems.

Roosters are conservative thinkers, while you are all for liberation, gentler laws and personal liberty. The two of you may be constantly at odds over policy. Decisions become difficult, tensions rise, and the Rooster suffers. This is because the Rooster makes emotional scenes that can send you packing. Your partner must accept your devil-may-care side to enjoy the benefit of your humor. It's up to the Rooster to be more flexible. And that is a tall order.

So, you two are not exactly Romeo and Juliet. You are interested in sex, but you're also fascinated by life's other aspects, above all its practicalities. The Rooster is also practical and appreciates your delight in resolving concrete issues. But he or she needs softening, romancing, loving and cuddling to appreciate the joys of sex. Now it's your turn to adapt, to become more languorous and spend time petting and nuzzling. Otherwise your Rooster (God forbid!) might begin scratching around in another barnyard for sexual understanding.

Monkey with Dog

The Dog is a blazing idealist. You live for the opportune moment. You may well meet up and fall in love when engaged in a social struggle together. Each of you possesses qualities lacking in the other. Although this might make you seem perfectly matched, it takes more than dovetailing qualities to make two such impervious individualists communicate. Each of you is totally accustomed to living on his or her own personal wavelength. You have real trouble shifting gears to make yourselves understood to someone on another plane. The remedy is talk. You two nervous souls must sit and yammer for hours, days and months before you reach an understanding. The Dog will have to give up blurting nasty remarks, and you must accept being tethered for at least part of the time. Dogs need companionship. Without it, they grow sad and lonely. You need to entertain. That often means being out in the world in a party or other social situation. Take the Dog with you? He or she will become grouchy, whine and want to go for a walk. But if you stay at home, then you become the resident grump and find excuses to go out and play.

Although they can be guilty of it, Dogs don't take kindly to philandering. But you like sexual freedom. You seem carefree and the Dog seems laughably frustrated. Being of basic good intention, if you wish to stay together, the two of you can have a workable sex life together. This relationship's harmony is possible, but will not be won without effort. Imagine it can work forever. Build it. Then maintain it. The rest will follow.

Monkey with Pig

Piggy! The Pig must treat this relationship with less blind indulgence for the opposite party. You can be ruthless when necessary. The Pig's naivety is no help when it comes to dealing with your beloved, yet sometimes unscrupulous ways.

Unlike the Snake, whose intentions in the Pig's regard are plainly lethal, you mean no harm. Your two tender hearts are mightily compatible, but your thinking processes are worlds apart. The Pig must adapt to your ways or you are doomed as a couple.

As Pigs are very malleable, adaptation is not an unreasonable demand. But Piggy must be careful not to lose his or her purest ideals to your constantly expanding bag of tricks. Pigs live by intuition. You cleave to logic. If the two of you can get your mutual talents to cooperate, it will assist your union's progress. If not, there will be major rows. When angry, you are a hopping mad mini-volcano who forgets about it two minutes after the eruption. A mad Pig is fearsome, relentless, dangerous and vengeful.

You should accept and enjoy the Pig's smothering and homely charms. And the Pig should try to see how innocently you need room to wander and squander. If these concessions are made, you can have a long-lasting life together.

MONKEY FUTURES

What the Monkey should expect from the twelve Chinese animal years:

2006, The Dog Year

Dogs don't thrill to see you cavorting through their space. They are dour and cynical. The atmosphere this year will be less than mellow. You'll experience a few financial setbacks. Commitments you believed in may crumble. People let you down. The remedy? Go back to work. Make yourself another little fortune. You did it before, and I am sure you can do it again. Buoyancy is your middle name. Don't let the Dog's critical eye dampen your

YOUR CHINESE SIGN AND ELEMENTS

In Chinese Astrology, there are five elements: Wood Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water. Each governs an animal sign once throughout the sixty-year Chinese «century». There are therefore sixty different basic character types in Chinese Astrology. You were born in the year of 1981.

You are the fighter Monkey. Thanks to creative thinking and driving ambition, you are a self-made person. You usually prefer to make your way alone, working happily at a job which takes you into the loftiest realms.

You will encounter miles of obstacles along the road to finding your independent niche. But find it you will! When in doubt, you confront issues, battle with demons and fiercely attack adversaries. You often win by means of persuasion, reason, and logic. If an issue warrants it, you are unafraid to put up your fists and trounce your opponent. Your muscle is not like the stormy, fiery bravura of a Dragon, nor can you match the Ox or Rooster for perseverance and endurance. You come on wiry and hostile. You simply annihilate challengers through force of will and twist of spirit. Then you drop the cadavers in the ditch and move ahead, as feisty as ever, to challenge the next contender. You're tough, but it's a nice kind of tough.

Your personal life will never be a romantic novel. You're bent on achieving a major place in your career, making your mark on society, and forcing your creative ideas through the fusty system. You have little time for family or emotional space. As a major difference maker, you always have unusual ideas. You are neither obedient to norms nor blatantly revolutionary, but you need the thrill of achievement, advancement, and position. You want to be where the action is, and if your entourage doesn't understand, that's their problem.

Of course it is possible for you to marry and maintain a semblance of family life. You are likely to be financially secure and therefore make a good provider, but you may not be disposed to spending much time at home. You need an independent, loving and patient mate who is unafraid to take responsibility for home, family and marriage alone.

You have a sociable, gregarious personality. You talk a lot and may even (unusual for a Monkey) be able to learn foreign languages. You enjoy travel and are quite apt to expatriate early in adulthood, moving away to start again in a new place to slake your thirst for self-sovereignty. You hate criticism, do not wish to be compared to siblings and/or cousins, and deplore the existence of relatives who insist on loading your kitbag with unwanted advice. You want to be a separate, officially unallied individual. You make your own way and refuse to credit your frequent successes and financial gains to anyone else.

You are intelligent. You are argumentative and yet have a charming, winning manner. Your close relatives know just how cranky and picky you can be, and resent all the extra hugging and kudos that you receive from your multiple admirers. For you, family situations are often tense and fraught with resentments.

You can be melancholy. If you do not succeed, you may go under. All that push and shove and strategizing is so depleting and the stakes so all or nothing that you become fatigued and cannot drag yourself up to begin all over again. Your sin lies in your puffed up self-image. You can take setbacks as long as you come out of them victorious. Too many losses and you skulk away, dejected and hopeless.

When and if despair sets in, you may blame your failures on your upbringing, family, friends, or associates who were jealous of you and tried to do you in. This "poor me" attitude is that of an unevolved character who cannot accept personal shortcomings, who will not assume responsibility for breakdowns in communication, and who can only see him or herself as a victim. This approach to failure is a dead end. You must be watchful not to allow yourself to succumb to self pity.

Should you find yourself despondent, don't be too proud to try directive group therapy. Interaction in a group cannot help but benefit you. It is difficult for you to realize that you cannot always be right. Group therapy or some sort of group support will help you to learn to take hints from those around you. For once, you won't be able to talk your way out of certain truths you prefer not to face up to.

You make an excellent salesman or TV talk-show host, newscaster or disc jockey. You are so articulate and nimble-minded that you could sell fur coats to bears. Whatever the verbal challenge that arises, you meet it with equanimity and a smooth talking manner. You make strangers feel comfortable. You exude confidence and competence even when you haven't a clue.

You are hugely individualistic. This is a sign of achievement and versatility. Metal Monkeys can learn how to do almost anything. But if you experience too many failures, your mental and physical health may give out. You are afflicted with more pride than resilience. The breaking up of your brittle surface can dim your sunny demeanor. If you cannot avoid failure, (Who can?) then try to learn how to put a lid on that extra dose of pride.

Chinese Signs for Women

Males and Females behave differently. Below is the gender specific description of your Chinese sign.

FEMALE MONKEY

The contradictory character of all Monkeys is dramatically emphasized in the female of the species. Although you prefer not to conform to type, you do. For starters, you are ever-youthful. Your limbs are usually thin and muscular. Your head is small and well shaped. You have a neatly proportioned upper body, small breasts and sturdy shoulders. If you are overweight, your plumpness ordinarily shows during childhood and early adulthood. By middle age you have started to thin down, and the older you get, the more sinew and muscle you show. You are not a likely candidate for a heart attack.

Your face is often sharply defined about the jaw line and boasts high or at least prominent cheekbones. Your forehead tends to jut out over the eyes, which are sunken rather than protruding. The lips are clear-cut and well drawn. Your nose is short and unobtrusive. Teeth are a prominent feature in a strong but never heavy jaw line.

There is nothing grand or regal about your features, and the word "pretty" doesn't do justice to your good looks. You are not just lovely to look at. You're well turned out and carry a singular air of competence and a fetching, mischievous twinkle.

You don't have trouble finding love partners because men are drawn to your spirited manner. Although you are not the most constant mistress or wife, you can be counted on to amuse your lovers, diverting them with funny stories and finely honed wit.

Your jokes are light-hearted and rarely cutting or hurtful. You seem able to pick out the silliness in any situation. You don't want to appear grumpy, stubborn or mean. You have no time for anything that impinges on fun. Your main objective is to remain young at heart, active and open-minded. You like to observe, poke fun, entertain, and sort out others' problems.

You are creative in bed. You never let your partner get bored and you are careful to maintain an atmosphere of humor and good cheer in the face of almost any wild behavior your lover thinks up. If your husband minces into the bedroom wearing high heels and a pale pink taffeta skirt, you will not shrink away in horror. You will carry on regardless.

In both home and workplace, you are a good sport and an excellent organizer. No matter how badly you are offended, you don't hold a grudge or harbor resentments. Also you can be counted on to smooth over differences and remain even-tempered.

Your foibles are curious. Here, too, paradox reigns. You're as hysterical about your own problems as you are practical about other people's. You tend to be neurotic. You often have difficulty separating emotions from facts. You fret and panic over what others might see as the least little thing. If you think it's directed at you, you can work yourself into a terrible lather over a passing remark or a whisper dropped in your presence. You hate to appear foolish.

There is another tiny female Monkey flaw. You have to be right. Because of your outrageous capacity for accuracy, your amazing visual memory and the need to seem at all times to be doing the right thing, you make an excellent editor, private secretary, script girl, bookkeeper and fact checker. Proficiency is thine.

This attention to detail can be positive, but it can also translate into an exasperating, stubborn eccentricity that bends to no persuasion and resists even the most compelling reasoning. You get up to some very oddball schemes - screwy, far-out antics that can baffle even the most baroque minds. But this eccentricity does not mean that you are flakey or off your rocker. It just goes to prove that Monkey women are indeed eccentric.

Your Day by Day Romance

Oct 19 2020

Venus Square Moon

INTENSITY: 1
During the days of this aspect your psychological state probably will fluctuate from the height of superficial happiness to extreme melancholia and a sense of isolation. In reality, there are two kinds of vibrations that prevent you from maintaining an even course, but are continually tilting from one extreme to the other. It is advisable to take some time for personal reflection, thinking about your more recent affectionate or sentimental experiences, before reacting or acting without previous contemplation. Now is the time to look deeper into your real psyche, avoiding at all cost to express your feelings outwardly without having sufficiently worked out what comes from within.
If you are sensitive or affected by the reaction of a relative, a friend, a loved one or even your mate, above all control your imagination, otherwise you run the risk of making a mountain out of a mole hill. Don't evade the situations or people responsible for your sensitivity, but simply reflect on the real meaning of that experience and how to respond to it. Either way, after calming yourself and having reflected you think that your loved one has made a mistake, it is advisable to outline everything smoothly and objectively without getting too personal.
You won't go from a feeling of joy to melancholia very easily, since you are not living in a fairy tale nor in a valley of tears. Find a balance between your family responsibilities and your need for entertainment, amuse yourself and relax a while. If you are involved in a love relationship now, see to it that it will be as harmonious as possible with your family to avoid small irritations or sensitivities in the future.

Oct 20 2020

Mars Opposition Pluto

INTENSITY: 2
A disharmonious aspect of transiting Mars to Pluto greatly increases your vital and sensuous energies. Your desires, feelings and even passions can be quite high, which makes it necessary to control, moderate and soften these forces. You tend to express yourself with strong emotions and great psychological vigor, but on occasion could be a bit sharp or slightly explosive. Thus, you will also have to control your imagination, in order not to exaggerate or be obsessed by small details in your relationship. For example, there could be groundless jealousy with respect to your companion, or you may attempt to impose your decision on him/her. If you think that your mate has offended you, or you are hurt by something that recently happened between you, it is best to express it clearly, with respect and as soon as possible. If both of you would be accumulating concerns or susceptibilities, they would come to light quickly in the near future and would have to be discussed unnecessarily.
It is necessary to accompany the act of making love with intensive communication, before as well as during and after. Real sexuality requires a good psychic understanding between both partners so that there can be a real union. If distrust exists or one is concealing certain aspects from the other, it is very difficult to reach real ecstasy and happiness.
It is necessary that both of you share your daily decisions, so that you are not bound by commitments that previously have not been planned jointly. If each one acts on his own, then the other will feel why bother, which could increase individualism. It is an excellent time to bring to light the psychological defects of each that had been retarding the development of the relationship. It would be good to talk about what you dislike about each other as well as what each one intends to change in himself. Conversation about your behaviors, attitudes, virtues and psychological defects, as well as both of your daily experiences is the better way to strengthen your affectionate life. Sharing life together makes happier, and helping one another to better yourself establishes strong roots for the future. If each one wants to improve himself, and if each one wishes that the other improve, the sentimental relationship will be firm and very creative. Speaking about the daily problems from a constructive and positive view without a doubt generates a better vibratory and psychic atmosphere in the relationship.

Oct 21 2020

Neptune Square Moon

INTENSITY: 9
You now need to balance the strong flow of emotions and inner perceptions you are going to experience, many of which will be subconsciously. On occasion you will have to analyze them or find out exactly what causes your emotional changes. It is preferable to stay within reality in your sentimental and affectionate relationships or friendships. Don't excessively idealize anybody, since this could produce subsequent disillusion or disappointment. Don't accumulate susceptibilities or seek solutions by retreating into yourself and escaping reality. It is preferable to actively communicate with your loved ones, as this is the way to avoid misunderstandings, hypersensitivity and imaginative elements that don't coincide with reality.
Concerning your family relationships, it is possible that you now feel that some members of your family are not honest with you. It is better to look at the positive side of each person and try to understand the circumstances in which each one acts and decides. Don't be too concerned or influenced by the problems of others, since you now have to learn to differentiate between your responsibility and those of others. Preoccupation, speaking of problems or complaining makes it very difficult for things to improve. A better way is to think positive, to learn from experience in all annoying situations, and above all, to have great inner faith.
If you are engaged or married, you may feel tired or emotionally exhausted at times, which could make you a bit passive in your sentimental relationship. Try to relax, enjoy your relationship with your mate and express your feelings openly. Anyone can have a period of imbalance, and this is only an opportunity to understand yourself better and to see parts of yourself that until now you had not assimilated. Fluent communication is the key to surpass susceptibility or hypersensitivity. Now any irritating situation with your mate will affect your inner sensibility more, and because of this, your communication has to be quiet, calm, immediate and full of confidence. Thus, little by little your flow of psychic energy will take a more active and creative slant.
There will be strong emotions between you and your mate, and you will discover aspects of your own subconscious as well as feelings of your companion that up until now you had not been able to perceive. If you are not involved with anyone, it is advisable to be calm and relaxed and try to see people as they really are. It could be dangerous to idealize or put on a pedestal the first person you meet and is preferable to allow the relationship to mature before you completely trust them, and above all, base your relationship on an intensive communication. Don't look for someone to solve your own problems, since an affectionate relationship is strengthened when each one is more positive and gives the best of himself. It is preferable to think and feel positive before speaking about problems, complaining or feeling ashamed. If you are realistic, you will be able to tell if a person is compatible with you or if he/she is likely to cause problems and suffering for you.

Oct 23 2020

Sun Square Venus

INTENSITY: 2
A disharmonious aspect of transiting Sun to Venus brings an increase in your sensuous vital energy, which can incline you to certain excesses. For example, you now could feel a great desire for amusement and expansion, and may even want to escape from your daily grind going to a dance with your mate, dining out, going to a club, or preparing an exceptional weekend. Obviously, there is nothing wrong with it in general, unless these kind of activities are carried to excess. It isn't so much the fact of wanting to live well, but rather to control yourself and stay within your means. If you are not careful, the following weeks could be a narrow squeeze of money, since you over spent on details, gifts or outings to such a degree that you actually are left without anything in the budget for the rest of the month. Don't give so much importance to the size or quantity of your entertainments, since a simple gift in a given moment can have great sentimental value.
Avoid an egocentric, superior and arrogant attitude toward your mate. Perhaps now you are very proud of something you have obtained on a social or professional level, or even are proud of your own companion, but you should never have a capricious or egocentric attitude. Learn to control your abundant energy and you will find that with simplicity, sincerity and nobility big improvements are brought about in your partnership. Learn to speak but also listen, give advice and also think about the advice given to you, in fact, learn to find the right balance between you and your loved one. Neither of you should impose your points of view on the other, but share the decisions and enjoy the responsibilities that both of you have every day. Don't ever think that you are going faster than your companion, since it is necessary that both of you go hand in hand, jointly experiencing the new encounters that are opened to you each day.
At this time you may also be especially proud of your mate and may want to show him/her off socially so that everyone can see that you are the "perfect couple". Although this is not negative in general, it isn't bad either to be unnoticed from time to time and to intermingle with others without creating so much attention. It may boost your ego when others remark about you, but it also has it's disadvantages since, whether you like it or not, there always will be a certain amount of criticism.

Oct 25 2020

Jupiter Square Pluto

INTENSITY: 6
This astrological aspect generates an increase in your total vital energy and will especially affect your state of sensuality and sentimental depth. Because of this, it is advisable to be prudent in everything related to your sexual life and intimate relationships. Don't go to extremes nor adopt obsessive attitudes. Up to a certain point this wealth of vital and sensuous energy could be found a bit unrefined or unpolished. That is to say, you will have intense emotions, have a great need to experience, are attractive, sensuous and full of life, but also intricate or very complex. You probably are complicating your life concerning your sentimental relationship with your mate, partly because you don't have sufficient control over your own imaginative and emotional processes. For example, you may suffer from small groundless jealousy or frequently think that your mate is attempting to bother you, when in reality there is no reason to think that. Try to control such attitudes in your intimate relationship in order to control the flow of vital energy.
If you are susceptible or bothered by something concrete with your companion, it is preferable to express your feelings without greater delay. You are now inclined to accumulate those small concerns and thereafter to express them in a disrespectful or very explosive way. It is much more intelligent to maintain a good level of communication with your companion, for in this way you are able to enjoy a balanced and stable relationship. If you converse frequently about those small irritations between you, your relationship will increasingly be strengthened. From a sensuous point of view, you now will have intense emotions and sensations, but you also have to know how to transmit, motivate and express them correctly with your mate. That is to say, you need sexual activity as a way of releasing stress, but you also have to understand that intensive communication with your companion is vital so that your relationship is maintained on an adequate level of quality.
You are likely to be attracted to the opposite sex now, but if you are enjoying a stable relationship at present, it is advisable to be prudent with respect to this. Maybe you are wanted by someone, but that someone only seeks a physical relationship, which could hurt your current intimate relationship. Remember that loyalty is an essential element for deepening a relationship and it is necessary to know when to say "no" in a firm and respectful way.
If you currently are not involved with anyone, it is very probable that you will have opportunities to be attracted to someone. However, don't think that all is gold that glitters, since there is a possibility of connecting with someone of a complex and passionate character that could make you suffer quite a bit. Be patient and don't only look at the physical appearance of those you are interested in; try to be observant and investigate your chances, your way of thinking and your intentions.

Oct 27 2020

Saturn Square Pluto

INTENSITY: 7
During this period you will be inclined to a certain inflexibility in your emotional expression. Above all, don't fall into routine in your affectionate and sensuous behavior. If you are engaged or married, it is advisable to continually revitalize your relationship. At times a certain syndrome of boredom could emerge in your relationship, but this only is a sign that certain facets of your relationship are not developing as would be desirable. Thus, for example, a lack of communication, psychological understanding or penetration, and taking for granted a certain apathy in your sexual relationship. To the contrary, if you make an effort to maintain a high level of communication, sensibility, exchange of experiences and mutual confidence, then that certain stagnation in your relationship will begin to cease.
Briefly, it is fundamental that both of you are prepared to change those elements of your respective characters that have been hampering your sentimental relationship. It is advisable to change the aspects of your own psychology that are rigid, old and rooted in you, since, if sexuality is life, and if life is evolution, then sexuality also has to be profoundly evolutionary. It is not good to say "This is the way I am, and it is impossible to change". Obviously, each person has their own individuality, but a real affectionate relationship also means a positive and rising change in each of the two persons that are part of the couple or marriage. Resisting to change simply is wanting to suffer, since nature always impels us toward improving, developing and self-realization.
If you are concerned about outside problems or your work, don't bring those problems or negative mental attitude home or to your mate, since then you would be losing the opportunity your affectionate relationship gives you to revitalize your energy. During the time you spend each day with your mate, leave aside preoccupation, weariness or routine. Experience love as a different world in which, above all, sensibility, optimism and the desire for improving prevails. Try to be a bit more spontaneous in your sensuous relationship and liberate yourself from outside conditions. This will allow you to be uninhibited at the time of expressing your feelings and desires. Prepare a surprise from time to time and care about romantic details.
Devote sufficient time to your affectionate relationship and don't permit the burdens of work to shorten increasingly your time of leisure and relationship to your mate. It is fundamental to maintain a balance between both worlds, since, if the personality is not balanced, there isn't the right balance between the daily responsibilities and the field of love and sensuality. Share your daily experiences with your mate, take a positive approach, and always try to seek solutions for both. Don't be obsessed with obligations you have for the following day and allow love to revitalize you internally. This will make you more sure of yourself, self-confident and optimistic in accomplishing your daily activities.

Oct 30 2020

Jupiter Conjunction Venus

INTENSITY: 6
This is a special time for love, when you are likely to have a wealth of feelings, romantic experiences and accomplishments in your relationships or married life. If you currently are not involved with anyone, it is quite possible that you may meet someone that will be very special in your life and that, without a doubt, could be the ideal person you had dreamed about. Certainly, at a social or cultural event, on a trip or in a meeting you may meet an elegant and refined person of good culture with whom you will be able to start an important relationship.
If you are engaged and already have made plans to be married, this could be the right time, since the social, family and economic environment could harmoniously join in favor of the attainment of your marriage. If you are married, it would be a good time to take a special meaningful trip, one that could be a second "honey moon". On this trip both of you would have the opportunity to enjoy relevant cultural and social events, meeting people of other cultures and countries and, in general, amusing yourselves and revitalizing your energies and your feelings.
Transiting Jupiter conjunction Venus has a considerable harmonious influence. Revitalization of your love will change you and also your way of seeing things and your outlook on life. Without a doubt, your love is going to be revitalized and will cause to expand your experiences beyond a level that you have known up until now. You may have the opportunity to enter a higher social circle that could lead to a higher level of income, and you learn to better understand the social dynamics of your environment. In good measure your very positive attitude stems from the happiness you feel by experiencing true love with your mate.
It is very important that as a couple you don't make the mistake of squandering money and resources, wanting to bring about an excessive standard of living. Don't think that happiness is bound to unnecessary or superfluous expenses, expensive garments, large meals and luxury hotels. It is advisable to moderate your expenses and adapt to your real possibilities, since intending to give an impeccable social image could diminish your economic resources. Moderation and planning beforehand is advisable, otherwise you would have to tighten your belt in the next months to cover your acquired commitments.
You now could be preoccupied with everything related to fashion, aesthetics, personal image, social relationships, popularity or renown in your environment and, above all, to satisfy the desires of your mate. Because of this, the two of you will be inclined to devote a good part of your time, money and effort to achieve a sufficiently comfortable situation and economical stretch. Both agree that at this time your happiness is bound in good measure to that great sensation or smaller roominess.

Nov 13 2020

Venus Sextile Moon

INTENSITY: 0
A harmonious aspect between Venus and Moon indicates the escalation of your personal romanticism. Your imagination is intensified now, especially, since your surroundings provide a stimuli and small daily events that make you agreeable and merry. In this respect, you could receive a gift, a call, have a special meaningful encounter, or simply will observe that some of your loved ones respond to you in a vibrant, cozy and warm way. During this short period of time, there is harmony between your need to be open, amused and loved on one hand, and your family responsibilities or relationship to your parents on the other hand. Thus, if you are involved in a love relationship now, you will find that the interrelationship will be more and better accepted by your family.
Everything mentioned, without a doubt, will bring greater inner emotional balance and promote some very important and satisfactory relationships with people of your emotional and family environment. You are especially receptive to the feelings and emotional states of other people, which increases your capacity of intense psychic communication with your loved ones or those you protect.
Your feelings are fine and pure now, and at the same time you will want contact with beauty, amusement, aesthetics and art as way of releasing your creative inspiration.
During the time of this aspect it is advisable to acquire a greater vision of the positive elements that sentimentally are forming part of your life; thus, if you give inner thanks for the good things happening to you, it is very probable that they are expanded and magnified. Don't concentrate on things you lack or would like to possess emotionally, it would be preferable to put your psyche on positive things and what is good for your family and sentimental relationships. In some way, perfection in human relationships is impossible.

Nov 17 2020

Sun Sextile Venus

INTENSITY: 0
During the time of this harmonious aspect of transiting Sun to Venus your sensuous and affectionate feelings will be accentuated, that is to say, will be expressed clearly; without shyness, disguise or any complex. You now are sure of your feelings and need to revitalize them by sharing them openly with your mate. There is a better understanding between you and your loved one, since you experience that through your love relationship your own personal limits are transcended.
If you are in love with someone and up until now have not expressed your feelings, it probably would be a good time to do it, provided that you are sure and know for certain that your selection is right. If you already have someone or are married, use this chance to reaffirm your love for them, since that revitalizes the feelings for both of you.
What makes your love relationship more attractive now is that you are sure within yourself, which is not being attached or dependent on your mate, or searching for energies that you may lack; on the contrary, you radiate energy and want to share it with the person you love.
There is a possibility of making a good social contact, or entering a higher circle thanks to the prestige of your mate or partner. The harmonious influence of the Sun can bring a small social rise or personal prestige in your life, to a degree thanks to the harmonious influence you are having and in that sense your companion.

Dec 11 2020

Sun Sextile Pluto

INTENSITY: 0
At this time your sexuality and total vital energy will be revitalized and must be released through a creative exchange. You will be fully aware of the effect of love and of each instant in the interrelationship with your partner. Moments like this cannot be repeated and, without a doubt, constitute a great opportunity to develop and improve your own psychological qualities. Sexuality is not only a release of energy, but to understand yourself through exchange with the other. The act of love is an event of self-understanding and personal self-realization.
This is a good time to openly express your feelings so that you will be totally sincere with yourself and with your loved one. Sharing is being open to new realities, and opening up is necessary for a confident and respectful environment. Putting these qualities into practice will prove that boredom and monotony do not exist in real love. There always is something new to experience, to communicate and to put into practice. Sexuality should not wear out your energy, but release, expand, revitalize and recover your personal strength. This is a good way of finding out if the relationship works correctly, since "nothing is created, nothing is destroyed and all is transformed". Thus, the integral act of love must result in the revitalization of both partners on the physical as well as the emotional and mental levels. As a rule, when someone is tired, it is because you are not achieving an energy circuit adapted to the environment. On the other hand, when someone is revitalized, it is because you readily tune into others, and in this case, your partner.
Talk about your improvements since you were together, comment on the psychological deficiencies you have surpassed, and bring to light those that still need a bit of polishing. This sincere exchange produces great results and deepens your level of communication.

Jan 03 2021

Venus Sextile Pluto

INTENSITY: 0
This astrological aspect lasts only a few days, but on occasion it's effect can be felt in a palpable way. Your sensuality and your ability to love are increased now, making you more intense with greater depth and creative energy. It is a personal cycle that can serve you to intensively fuse with your mate.
If you currently are not involved with anyone, use this period to become aware of your creative potential and get to known yourself better. Your personal security will attract the opposite sex, and there is a possibility of someone becoming interested in you. In this case, try to be selective at the time of choosing a companion, since it is preferable to be alone rather than making the wrong choice. Remember that nobody is pushing you to get a mate quickly. Without a doubt, it can be said that quality is worth more than quantity. If you pass this short and intensive cycle in solitary, become fully aware of yourself as an independent and creative individual.
A harmonious aspect of Venus to Pluto is a small step toward ascending the height of sexual alchemy, which is based on the progressive increase of sexual energy as well as control over it. Uncontrolled sexuality is precisely the opposite of happiness and fulfillment in the relationship of a couple. On the other hand, high and conscious sexuality inclines to personal self-realization and complete satisfaction in the relationship.
It is a good time to live, study and practice total integration in your affectionate relationship, where the body, the psyche and the mind collaborate toward the same end: fusion, and as a result evolution. Enjoy yourself intensely and become aware of each instant, since true love is bound to the full awareness of each act, each gesture, each feeling and each thought.

Jan 10 2021

Sun Square Pluto

INTENSITY: 2
This aspect symbolizes the possibility of a small irritation or conflict of little importance in your love relationship. Perhaps subconsciously something has been growing between you that has not been dealt with, come to light or outlined in a direct and respectful way. Now is the time to review possible latent issues between you, such as jealousy, secret sensitivities or egotistic attitudes of one with respect to the other. Don't forget that in love relationships there has to be revitalization from day to day that should not be neglected, but is advisable to maintain continual attention and concentration. Learn to share the achievements that each of you may have accomplished, talk about the psychological imperfections that still are within you and have not yet been surpassed, in fact, summarize your psyche in an earthly way. It is not the time to conceal anything, but rather to recognize your own limitations and making goals to surpass them. Sharing your limitations with your loved one will help you gain more strength to tackle the task.
You will also notice an increase in your sexual energy during the time of this astrological aspect, but at given times it could be expressed abruptly and vacillating. A satisfying sexual relationship requires self-control, commitment and desire. True love is accompanied by higher qualities such as the above mentioned. Don't forget that a sexual relationship is brought about simultaneously on the physical as well as the emotional and mental level. The physical vitality must be accompanied by the feeling of sincerity and intense communication so that the spark of real love can be produced.
Avoid superior or arrogant attitudes in your love relationship and practice sincere communication every day. Don't accumulate anything or keep anything for tomorrow. If you believe that your mate has failed in some way, first meditate on it and when you are completely calm, show respect and confidence in your companion. By continuing this method you will find that a good quality of communication is established, and the results will be seen by you alone. It is always preferable to quietly become aware of the situation before accusing each other without reason and common sense. Don't allow anything to alter the confidence in your mate, since this is the basis on which a stable and fulfilling relationship is sustained. Neither of you are perfect, and that is what makes your adventure more interesting.

Here are some suggestions on how to get the most out of this report: Whenever you plan a vacation, are going to visit friends, on a business trip, or planning on a place to relocate to, you can refer to the analysis given in this report. Remember also to use all of the information available to you when analyzing a given place. For example, if you hate cold weather, you probably will not enjoy moving to a city near the Arctic Circle! However, you will find that if the astrological influences are positive, there will be some nice experiences to help you through the long winters. In addition to weather, carefully consider the culture, the kind of people, and other issues that may be important to you (crime rate, quality of schools, natural environment, etc.). Most places offer a rich variety of possibilities. For example, two people (whom I will call Jack and Jill) may be very similar but Jack may find that he loves Chicago and lots of opportunities come his way, and Jill may have just the opposite experience. The astrological influences for Jack and Jill are probably very different. Also, keep in mind that a good attitude and skillful use of the energies available to you enable you to transform the most difficult challenges into a creative solution rather than become a frustrating and limiting situation. It is up to you to find creative solutions to the challenges that you face.

   You may wonder if an astrological influence will still be in effect if you are 15 miles or 30 miles from any given city. The answer is yes. The influences described in this report extend in across a region that varies from about 100 miles to 350 miles. It is safe to say that the influence will extend 50 miles (sometimes more) from the city.

1 : VIEUX FORT, SAINT LUCIA
MC Conj Moon    (Orb:1 Deg 01 Min)

    While you are in this location you will find a lot of popularity but your exposure to the public will make your life an open book for all to see. It will be impossible to be invisible to the public eye or remain anonymous because everything that you do is noticed, right down to the smallest detail. There will be an increased need to be with people here and you may work for the public in some way, and have an innate knowledge of the needs of the people which can be used to further your success. Even the boss will make you feel as though you are one of the family. You will find that women are very a very positive influence on you and your home life will take on a greater importance.

    In this location you will experience strong emotions, be impressionable and changeable in your surroundings with an added touch of romance for good measure. You can also experience irritability, but a greater compassion, support and sympathy for others. If you have a strong need to stay detached from others, you had better start looking elsewhere, because that will be extremely difficult to do.

MC=Mercury/Saturn    (Orb:0 Deg 10 Min)

    In this location you may find that responsibilities will weigh very heavily on you, and you may decide to spend more time being alone by yourself. This is a wonderful place for contemplation, meditation, serious thoughts and quiet solitude but you will choose to "shy away" from any social activities, finding them very uncomfortable.

    Your communications will become more controlled and your thinking will become very logical and practical with some brief periods of hopelessness mixed in for good measure. Your ideas will develop quite slowly with great forethought. Because of this any negotiations or contracts with others will experience great delays, either being concluded or falling apart altogether. Communications will be of short duration, using as few words as possible to get your point across. Your thinking will be much more fixed and nervousness can cause wavering when speaking.

    Everything that you do here will be based entirely on "factual" information, and any confidences given to you will remain with you, not being revealed to others. Your mind becomes more mathematical, working more with calculations and solving puzzles that can dumbfound others. Nervous strain or problems with the eyesight or mental clarity can be negative sides of this place. There can also be some bouts of depression, sadness and separations from others.

    In this location your rapport with others can bring great success to your efforts, and the cooperation and harmony that you exude makes this a very auspicious place for you to work, live or run a business.

    Here you will be much more optimistic about your future, curious about everything in your environment and your judgment will be based on matters of fact, not jumping to conclusions. There is a strong passion for business, negotiations and forming contracts with others, so if you are looking for a place to start or expand a business, this is the place.

    This can also be the place to find an adventure or two as well as take a class, continue your education, travel, become involved in legal matters, become a lawyer or any religious aspirations you may have. The publishing field is another excellent choice of occupations for you in this location.

    New concepts in any area of life or new studies are very fortunate, and you will notice an increase of luck through communications with others as well. Perhaps you have some political leanings that can be advantageous for you here also.

    You will have an instant grasp and understanding of situations as long as you are here and your attitude will be extremely enthusiastic. Negatively there can be an increase in nervousness or nervous disorders.

MC Conj Neptune    (Orb:4 Deg 31 Min)

    While you are in this place you will find that there is a strong desire and draw for music and art, and there can be many opportunities that come to you in this area. There is a certain degree of laziness and confusion that accompanies these desires, and true masterpieces can take a long time in coming. There is a possibility of all types of scandals while you are here, as well as the loss of your reputation as well. You can find discouragement a constant companion mixed with an equal share of depression for your efforts which will make it very difficult differentiating fact from fantasy.

    Your intuitive and psychic abilities will be strong so you have an edge what the pulse of the people is, and what they want. Life for you is a fantasy here, that is the reality of it as well. People will see you as very mysterious in some way, and find it somehow very alluring. You will do well if you are able to make sacrifices in your personal life for a greater cause but be careful of being dominated and manipulated by others for their own purpose.

    Occupations or fields for you include religious endeavors, social work or politics. There is a danger of the need to escape reality in this location, and you should try to avoid any alcohol or drugs to facilitate that need. There is also an added risk of being involved with the criminal element, involvements with the police or being imprisoned here. You can be so good at the illusion of this place, that you cannot find the purpose set before you in life. Spiritual aspirations, self deceptions and illusions have their prominent place in this location.

Asc Square Moon    (Orb:2 Deg 21 Min)

    In this location you are apt to be a bit more emotional and moody than in other areas, and your relationships with others will fluctuate to some degree. There can also be a dependency on others for support and nurturing as well. You can easily react strongly to the remarks of others and be considered hypersensitive and overly emotional. You may find that you will make frequent changes in jobs while you are here, with a restlessness that causes you to move frequently as well.

    You will be easily annoyed and frustrated with other people, and should you live around your parents, the bonds will be difficult to break. Real conflicts can arise within the family structure because you will not understand their needs. Disagreements can be seen with women in particular, being unsympathetic to their plight. You may find that while you are in this location there is always instability in the air, and security will be difficult to find as well. There will be many ups and downs in your life that will make settling down very difficult. On the positive side, you can change old habits that occur here with great effort, and inspire a new attitude towards life.

MC=Sun/Pluto    (Orb:1 Deg 35 Min)

    In this location you will find some very strange events that have a fated quality to them, karmic conditions from past lives or situations that seem to be imposed on you no matter what you do or how hard you try to stay away from them. This location will make you go through some very basic yet profound changes, and the people that you meet here can be the catalyst for those changes.

    You will find that you need to be in control of all situations, and an overwhelming urge to ferret out any corruption and remove it from your environment. You will not be easily influenced to change your mind from decisions regarding your life here.

    Once you start something here, you will not be deterred from your quest. Secrets given to you will never be revealed under any circumstances. You may resort to threats from time to time to make your intentions clear in certain situations, and the need for the truth in all circumstances becomes paramount.

MC=Moon/Neptune    (Orb:1 Deg 45 Min)

    While you are in this location you can expect your perceptive, intuitive and psychic sensitivity to become much stronger and accurate. Dreams will increase in intensity and they can become predictive in themselves. One danger is letting others take advantage of your good nature, or being too inactive, avoiding responsibilities. This is a wonderful place to experience a wonderful "fantasy" or two though!

    You can become very careless in your responsibilities to any people, animals or possessions left in your charge. Your imagination becomes more acute here, and if you put it to work, you can inspire some very creative paintings, art work or music. Your thinking is sure to turn to the "mystical" or "spiritual" realms here.

    You will become very sensitive to any form of drug whether prescription or not as well as dust and pollen. There can also be some female problems as well.

MC=Mars/Jupiter    (Orb:1 Deg 55 Min)

    In this location you will rely more on your instincts to accomplish goals that you set for yourself. Your reactions to your environment will be bold, courageous and confident. Physical fitness, sports or athletics will do well here also. Your stamina and drive to do any physical work will increase in this location. Life will pick up in general, keeping you very busy and active, and if you are interested in debating people for their beliefs or philosophical leanings, then this is the spot.

    While you are here you will find that timing is the key to growth, luck and success. Creative projects that you institute here will be fortunate and thus would be a good place to start a new enterprise or business.

    This position also favors marriages and the birth of a child. Since this is such a favorable place for physical activity, you may not know when to stop, causing yourself some injuries.

MC=Mars/Saturn    (Orb:2 Deg 15 Min)

    Advancement will come only through great efforts and obstacles in this location, and your health can be somewhat sensitive as well. Your actions and anger will be more inhibited, and frustrations will be evident. Your energies will be focused on hard work with very little else on your mind. Work will be done silently and alone rather than including others, so if you are into or need a very disciplined lifestyle, then this is the place for you.

    You can expect some hard reactions from people here, at the same time feeling a real restlessness. This position is wonderful for working on the same monotonous work day after day after day if that is what you want to do.

    This is also a favorable place if you need to be more disciplined in your physical training or sports activities.

2 : BROOKLYN, N.Y.C., NY
Asc=Sun/Mercury    (Orb:0 Deg 30 Min)

    In this area you will notice an ease in the ability to express your ideas and thoughts as well as communicate and share your ideas with others. If you are a student in this area, you will notice that it is very easy to concentrate on your studies, and it will be very easy to discipline your mind to accomplish your goals. While you are here, your education will become of primary importance, putting other needs on the side.

    There is a greater confidence in communicating whether through writing, speaking or lecturing. Your sense of humor will be heightened as you come out with clever remarks for all occasions.

    While you are here, your curiosity for all subjects can have you at the library late into the night in search of knowledge. Your intellect gets a boost, and people will pay more attention to what you have to say here.

    Even in relationships you can effectively communicate your ideas and feelings with great ease. On the negative side there will be an increase in nervousness which can be worked off in physical ways. You can also become a leader here, known as a person who can communicate well.

Asc Conj Mars    (Orb:4 Deg 46 Min)

    In this location there is an increased openness about you that others will find extremely aggressive and threatening. Anger and resentments from yourself and others will arise and need to be dealt with. Here you will let the world know that you will not be taken advantage of, but learn to do so without offending everyone.

    Because you are so aggressive, matters of sexuality will take on a greater importance as well. If this very profound energy does not find a constructive outlet in this location, you may notice an increase in clumsiness that can lead to injuries. You can be a real asset in this location by using your power of the word to inspire people in action rather than making them angry by your aggressive nature.

    You are bold in the way that you present yourself, and your courage, temper, forceful and aggressive nature becomes way too dominant for other people to handle. Confrontations with others can be expected, from the smallest of issues to large scale disagreements. Your ego and competitive nature can get way out of control, and your penchant for action, conquest, and battling the world for dominance exists, where there isn't a battle going on. You can achieve a lot in this location, and your goals in work and career can be achieved, but in matters of the heart, people may find you "too much" to deal with, causing difficulties in your affections.

    If you are rather quiet and shy to begin with, then this area might help to bring you out of your shell, otherwise this will eventually be a very stressful and tense location unless you actually get off on butting heads with others, need constant challenges and quarrels to keep you motivated.

Asc=Sun/Mars    (Orb:1 Deg 55 Min)

    While you are here you will notice a dramatic increase in your energy levels and experience a greater self confidence, perhaps to the point of being overbearing or arrogant. There will be an increase in your competitive nature, perhaps taking some bold risks.

    You will also notice a reckless and impulsive nature, taking chances where even angels fear to tread. You will be totally impatient with others, and your combative and temperamental side will emerge, ready to do battle, with or without a cause. Should you have a physical confrontation with someone here, you will have the endurance and stamina to see you through it, and then some, so use caution please.

    There will also be an intolerance for people in authority, making them very unhappy at the same time. In all situations you will have a flair for dramatic interpretations, and at times will go out of your way to defy people. On the other hand you may aggravate people on purpose, just to be a bully!

    If you use this energy effectively, you can make some very profound differences in your physique, excel at sports or get into some serious body building providing you don't overdo it and injure yourself, which goes with this locale as well.

MC=Moon/Uranus    (Orb:1 Deg 39 Min)

    Your cool, calm and collected self will be a little bit unglued in this location and your responses to others will be somewhat impatient and intolerable. There will be an increase in upsets and emotional responses to others as well. If you are looking for a place to fall into a 9-5 routine, you have chosen the WRONG place.

    Your desire for freedom and your need to be uninhibited in your reactions to the world around you can have you doing some pretty "odd" and strange things here.

    Should you be living here with your family, expect domestic upheavals a good amount of the time. You will be more detached, erratic and restless but on the positive side much more intuitive and perceptive.

    You might notice some changes in your eyesight in this location for better or worse, an increase in stressful family situations or upsets of the stomach.

MC=Venus/Pluto    (Orb:2 Deg 24 Min)

    Here you will find the power of love can be used to make some very positive changes in your life. There can be some intense feelings in matters of love and sexuality that occur while you are here and very deep and compulsive relationships can begin. Your thinking cap is not on where love relationships are concerned and any encounters here with the opposite sex will cause you to go through some very deep and profound changes.

    Enchanting situations seem to attract people to you by pure magnetism. Here you will also find an obsession with the ideal of beauty, also experiencing turn-arounds in your feelings to it, causing you to deface it at times as well as love it. The danger of contracting sexual diseases is a strong possibility here.

3 : ONTARIO, CANADA
Asc Conj Sun    (Orb:2 Deg 05 Min)

    While you are in this location you tend to enjoy the spotlight and make every effort to enjoy any social occasions that come up, but even if they don't, you will gladly throw a party of your own. You will excel as a teacher and a student here, willing to share your expertise with others while learning at the same time. You will be high spirited and happy while in this location, and sending and receiving messages to and from others will come with great ease.

    Your vitality, energy and enthusiasm are in abundance in this area.

You will not take staying in the background lightly, while others make strides and accomplishments. Instead you will plant your feet firmly and take command and let others know of your dominance. You have a proud and dignified manner which others can spot very easily.

    Your enthusiasm for life can be misunderstood as an over emphasis on self importance while lacking humility, especially if you are a very confident person. If you are reserved or shy to begin with, then this area will help to loosen you up, help build more self confidence and allow you to express yourself much easier.

    After spending some time at this location you will notice that your health is improving, so if you have been under the weather at a different location, this would be a wonderful place to rejuvenate or strengthen a weakened constitution.

Asc=Mercury/Venus    (Orb:1 Deg 06 Min)

    This is a wonderful place to spend time with others, because they will appreciate you as much as you enjoy being with them. This is a very harmonious and content place for you where social conditions and lighthearted conversations are favored.

    You can be somewhat shrewd in your written or verbal expression and will enjoy learning something new from any situation. Since you enjoy the written word so much, you can easily become a writer or poet in this location, or write a screen play.

    You will be much more charming here and can teach others in the art as well. Another side of this auspicious location would be a business selling or demonstrating beauty aids. There can also be an increase in nervousness here as well especially when you are trying to express your true feelings for another person.

    On the negative side you may notice that you have a real sensitivity to certain types of foods.

Your Day by Day Forecast

October 19 2020

Neptune Square Moon

Dreams and events of the real world seem to be intertwined, and there will be difficulty separating the two. You are able to see the shortcomings of others, but still find it difficult to keep away from them. If you are trying to find out if the object of your love shares your feelings, this is not the time to try, instead wait until the fog clears after this transit ends and the answer will present itself. Health matters can include a nervous stomach, allergic reactions to pollen and dust and feeling more tired than normal.
You may feel you are engulfed in a tractor beam and obsessed by a love relationship now, one which you can do nothing about except submit. The universe is getting even for things you have done in the past by the very people you have done them too. Don't be to hard on them, as they are just returning the favor even though they may not know it. It's a very subconscious and Karmic type of thing.
Moods are apt to drift in and out like the confusion that surrounds them now and the use of any drugs or alcohol whether prescription or not is to be considered adverse to your health. Love relationships that are started now are addictive but impractical, so DON'T make any commitments to this person now! There can be some very strong obsessions to love at this time that cannot be denied, perhaps a Pisces personality.
Yearnings to do things that have no definition will find you now. You are very sensitive and impressionable to the world around you and it will be easy to fall into the well of drinking and its abuses, self pity and depression now. Although you may or may not mean to, this transit brings out the ability to lie, cheat or mislead others and worries over female problems can develop.

October 20 2020

Uranus Square Sun

Expect circumstances to arise quite suddenly that can make you quite "miffed" to say the very least. Matters that were previously settled and agreed to can come back to haunt you through missed correspondence and messages. Expect accounts with debtors "NOT" to be serviced as promised, no matter how settled the situation seems to be. It is important to have all the information available when dealing with people, remember to get the names of people that you spoke to, times and dates. Keep copies of all letters for future reference.
Freedom will be sought no matter what the consequences and sudden romance begin and will end just as quickly now. This is an unfavorable time for group activity. Discrepancies in legal disputes and settlements can be found and ruinous speculation has its home here. Irregular heart actions are a direct effect of this transit. This can be a time of electrical fires so make sure you take precautions.
Murphys Law is in full effect now, so if it can go wrong it will now so hold on to something and prepare for a shock! This is not a good time for private negotiations and disappointments in all areas of life are to be expected. Conflicts of interest can easily occur and a whole new set of problems can arise without any warning. Accidents are possible at this time and challenges, separations and divorces can occur as well.
You will experience difficulties in expressing yourself and it will be tough to do with your foot in your mouth. You will have the advice potential of a blind man now, you just won't see it, or take it.

October 21 2020

Saturn Conjunct Venus

The simple life is where you will find enjoyment now !
Deep commitments can now be made to love now and past romances can come back into your life. Possible throat problems can suddenly erupt and people can experience late menstrual cycles, or lower back aches, and kidney problems can develop.
Selfish concerns for your own welfare can manifest, or you may be remembering past joys that can be a source of sadness. There will be a need for emotional and financial security which can be quite strong now and there is a danger that loneliness can occur, so use this time wisely to get in touch with who you are and what you expect from others, as well as yourself.
Relationships will go through a time of testing now and the good ones will remain and grow, while the weak ones will experience separations and change or end. You may go through a time of finding out who your real friends are.

October 22 2020

Pluto Square Pluto

A time of challenges and stress have arrived temporarily and changes may seem destructive now but prove to be an excellent time for getting rid of those things that serve no future purpose. Outworn ideas, conditions and possessions go bye-bye.
You will come into contact with a hidden side of yourself that must be dealt with before it gets out of hand.
Sexual diseases or problems likely to pop up at this time, and extreme caution must be used in your interactions with others.
Your career may be unbearable and now is the time to institute changes, even drastic ones. Isn't it about time?
A time of corrections has entered your life. Difficulties in finances, tax and alimony can easily be experienced during this transit.

October 23 2020

Pluto Conjunct Venus

You can be somewhat paranoid about secrets revealed to others or the disclosure of secrets to others now and can find a need to be very cunning and shrewd in your approach to others. You can also be very unforgiving of people who have gone against your wishes and find you have a greater need to control people in your environment now.
Deep emotions can come to the surface and concepts that are both brilliant and far reaching will be very strong. Compulsive spending can get out of hand, so use caution in your finances as well.
Intense love and passion are present all around you and the power of attractions of other people to you and you to them are very real now. True sexual drawing power will draw others to you, and the need to be loved and needed is present.

October 24 2020

Saturn Square Pluto

Life cannot go on the same way it has been, now can it? It's time to let go of the past and get on with your life. Changes are now coming into your life and demanding that you pay attention. Perhaps that is where the loneliness experienced here is coming from? How else would you listen to the inner beatings of your soul to make change? If life was going okay now, why would you make changes, or need to? This is the positive side to a seemingly negative situation.
There will be a loss of feelings within relationships and a decrease of the sexual drive. You may feel the need to take back a commitment made to another, becoming more rigid in the process and there will also be an unwillingness to share within the relationship. You may notice some pain or discomfort in the joints.
Remember when you were a child and you had blocks and used to build things? Was there a bully that used to come around and knock them down? You never had that happen? Well, here he comes in some form, or it will probably be you. The conditions in your life just aren't good enough any more. Power struggles are likely now, so try to avoid being the dictator especially now.
Matters of sexuality and feeling "betrayed" and not needed by another are real issues to be dealt with at this time and if matters are "pushed" and not left alone to cool down, or the relationship is not strong enough to endure the hurt that accompanies it, then separations can occur. This will be a test of the strength and the validity of the relationship.
People can suddenly disappear during the exact time of this transit, almost like they never existed. You can look at others for the first time in a very different way and decide you don't like them very much, or who they have become, all the while pretending to be a friend.
Breaking attachments with others is the highlight of this transit and friends may move away or you may be forced to move. Plans have an excellent chance of FAILURE and loneliness or depression can be knocking on your door. Maybe you need them to analyze and soul search your life. Anybody can be dishonest and you won't have far to look to find it. Sympathy for others will not be present and avoid corruption and dishonesty in business.
Sexual problems can pop up at this time, but they are temporary though so don't panic. On the other hand you may be very uninterested in any sexual involvement and STRESS is a key word for this transit, so see if you can eliminate the excesses of it somehow.

October 25 2020

Mars Trine Moon

This is a great transit for physical work, especially if you are moving, rearranging, working in the garden or other projects that involve physical exertion. Do it yourself projects are highly favored as well as real estate transactions and being with family and friends, especially if you are smoothing over differences and making adjustments in relationships.

October 26 2020

Jupiter Square Pluto

Whatever you do keep your motives, intentions and dealings with others honest, above board and on the right side of the law at this time. You may burn bridges to your past in favor of the future and new beginnings.
There will be an overwhelming need for power over others at this time, just be careful that you don't use people for your own purposes and then discard them. If this occurs around the time of a new love coming into your life, don't let them take the brunt for what your ex did to you. You will notice that you pick up some very bad eating habits at this time as well. Jealousy is a danger with this placement. Be careful of desiring another persons material belongings or good fortune in some way. Intolerance of other peoples feelings will also be in the air so if at all possible do as much as you can for others without expecting anything in return. Chances are nothing will come in return anyway, but give it a try!
Reforming others comes under the gun of influences as well, so be careful of who you are trying to reform as well as your motives for doing so. Even though you aren't the authority here, that won't stop you from thinking you are.
Expect very radical changes in thinking and attitudes which may have you a bit baffled as well as those around you now. Other conflicts will be seen in litigation, joint finances, insurance, taxes and alimony. In your work practices, make sure to take care of all the little details and be especially careful not to overlook anything, because missing the finer points of any project can be your downfall.

October 27 2020

Jupiter Conjunct Venus

Any social activities and sporting events are happy and joyous occasions during this transit and there is an increased enjoyment of intimate moments with your spouse or lover as well. All of the joys that can be experienced through "love" with another person are favored now, and foreigners or people at a distance will be drawn to you. Perhaps people of a sad heart who know they can call you to be cheered up at a moment of desperation in their own lives will call. People involved in "Psychic Hotline" type work will find a popularity among men/women who are having troubles of their own and your heart can go out to them as well. Expect to hear from friends from the past or recent past who you had forgotten about who now would like to be a lot more in your life in the romantic department.
A marriage of souls can take place during this transit, or a physical marriage can occur, bringing an extra blessing to the event. I, the author of this material was suddenly and blissfully married under the Jupiter conjunct Venus transit (exact) and it was a most memorable occasion.
You may feel a need to adopt some new philosophies or religious beliefs including more humanitarian efforts for the "masses" versus the individual kind now and people may be surprised to see your polite attitude when around them and your manners will take a turn for the better as well.
Happiness is bound to arise now and consideration and compassion for others in your surroundings will be very strong. This is an excellent trend for music, artistic endeavors or a romantic evening for two. Schedules move along well and spending sprees can be a source of joy, at least until the money runs out! Last minute rescues from potentially sticky situations can arrive in the nick of time and lady luck may have some surprises in store for you that can put a smile on your face.
You will be feeling great and ready for the good times ahead. A gift of some sort can find you when you least expect it and this transit attracts money, friends and very pleasant experiences. People may show up at your front door without warning, but you are pleasantly surprised, especially around 4AM, needing some very special tender loving care. Business trips and pleasure trips are favored and you may meet someone quite foreign to yourself and a relationship can begin.
The only really negative side to all of this wonderful energy is an increase in sexuality and desires for sugar, sweets, SODA and sweet juices such as orange juice, even if you are not a big juice drinker. The desire can even turn into obsessions as you can't seem to quench the thirst for all of the wrong things. That increased sexuality and desire for sweets can have some very adverse effects on the body through kidney problems, weight gain and gout.

October 28 2020

Mars Sextile Sun

The need to take charge of your life is highlighted with this transit. This is a good time to work in harmony with others. Working with tools and machinery is favored but use care around them anyway. Physical activities are favored as well. This is a transit "FILLED" with energy to accomplish whatever you desire.
This transit supports knowing the right course to take in any situation and taking charge of it. Get out in the world and accomplish something today, and don't let this wonderful energy pass you by. Should you encounter any emergency situations at this time, you will know exactly what to do, with reserve energy to keep you going in the face of adversity. You might enjoy working by yourself rather than with others for awhile.

October 29 2020

Sun Square Sun

Are you working on a really important project? This transit has the capacity to test them to the maximum. Annoying yes I agree, but there may be something you haven't counted on, or an error in thinking. This is what this transit is all about. Do not speculate at this time because lady luck isn't with you. This is a positive time for meditation and spiritual work, however.
A stressful period in your life where extra hard work may be required but not appreciated. A VERY difficult time for pleasure, romance, creative endeavors, finances and speculative interests.

October 30 2020

Saturn Sextile Uranus
