Introduction

The following pages describe the major transits that you will be experiencing over the coming period. These pages can give you insight into the challenges that you will encounter and the underlying lessons that they offer you. There are literally hundreds of transits occurring for you each year, so this report focuses on those which occur more infrequently and therefore present the greatest challenges.

The "Exact" transit dates and immediately prior to those dates are the times when the energies described will be felt most strongly and when actual events related to the transit are most likely to occur. Many transits will have three "Exact" dates listed. This is because the transiting planet goes retrograde (R) and then direct (D) again, causing three "hits." When this is the case, the issues associated with the transit will surface on the first hit, there will be some progress toward resolving these issues on the second hit, and the third hit will bring final resolution.

Read your transit report over once now to get a general overview of the coming period. Then, as the issues described in this report begin to appear in your life, you can refer back to this report for suggestions on how to best handle the changes that you are experiencing. Even the worst transit can be a valuable experience if you are fortunate enough to "get" the lesson that it offers.

The readings stress that you are the ultimate decider of your fate. Astrology can give you a "weather report" on the energies influencing you, but it is up to you to decide how you will react. Some people can benefit greatly under normally difficult transits because they eagerly meet the challenge head on. Others will not benefit from the most positive transits because they did not pursue opportunities presented to them.

Now on to your personal transits report.

House Transits and Transiting Aspects

Mars is in the 11th: 3/17/2008 12:00 AM, Moving Forwards at Degree 34 in a 36 Degree House

Mars is in the 11th house now. Group activities and cooperative efforts are the best way to achieve your goals. Avoid allowing the ego to attempt to dominate others.

Jupiter is in the 6th: 3/17/2008 12:00 AM, Moving Forwards at Degree 12 in a 31 Degree House

Jupiter is in the 6th house now. Great benefit can be derived from work and service to others. Health also improves under this influence. Medical treatments are usually successful. Avoid overeating.

Saturn is in the 2nd: 3/17/2008 12:00 AM, Moving Backwards at Degree 6 in a 25 Degree House

Saturn is in the 2nd house now. Material possessions and finances undergo alterations, and security is hard won. This is not the time to base personal worth on acquisitions.

Uranus is in the 8th: 3/17/2008 12:00 AM, Moving Forwards at Degree 22 in a 25 Degree House

Uranus is in the 8th house now. This is the sector of death, taxes, inheritance and sex. Expect changes in these areas. Shared resources undergo gains or losses. Avoid dependency on others.

Neptune is in the 7th: 3/17/2008 12:00 AM, Moving Forwards at Degree 16 in a 20 Degree House

Neptune is in the 7th house now. Relationships and partnerships are affected by confusion, misunderstanding or subterfuge. Handle legal issues with care. See others realistically.

Pluto is in the 5th: 3/17/2008 12:00 AM, Moving Forwards at Degree 31 in a 36 Degree House

Pluto is in the 5th house now. Compulsive love affairs, inspired and intense creativity, and transforming activities related to children are possible. Power plays in these areas are likely.

Neptune sextile Midheaven: 3/17/2008 12:00 AM, 0.14 deg. orb

See the interpretation for 3/21/2008 9:31 AM

Jupiter square Jupiter: 3/17/2008 12:00 AM, 0.07 deg. orb

This transit substantially raises your confidence level; as a matter of fact, you may have to guard against arrogance and delusions of grandeur. This Jupiter contact creates a tendency for overdoing things. Be careful not to overcommit your time or money. Don't spend lavishly now, expecting the funds to be easily replaced.

You have a tendency at this time to overestimate your capabilities and inflate your ego. You still don't walk on water, so keep your feet on the ground and be realistic in the expectations you place upon yourself. You truly feel as though you could do everything for everyone now and genuinely want to, but when you take on too many obligations, many of them are left unfulfilled, and many who have relied on you will be disappointed. Take time to appreciate those you love.

Be sure you have the necessary resources (and time) before you make commitments. This is not a good time to take chances, although you may feel like you can't lose. This transit helps you to find out what your realistic limits truly are and to operate within them. Avoid "get-rich-quick" schemes; if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

Sometimes, this transit indicates a stroke of good luck, such as a windfall or sudden opportunity. If you should be fortunate enough for this to happen, just be sure you don't spend it as quickly as you receive it. Also, be careful not to over-indulge in food and drink.

Uranus square Uranus: 3/17/2008 12:00 AM, 0.03 deg. orb

See the interpretation for 3/17/2008 11:21 AM

Uranus square Uranus: 3/17/2008 11:21 AM, Exact

This can be a rather difficult transit of Uranus and will occur twice in your life: at about age 21 and again around age 63. It is a time of widespread change and struggling to break free of limitations.

The timing of the transit places it at times in your life when a shift in direction is usually required. In your early twenties you are were forced to live up to your new responsibilities in society as an adult. This is a time for you to reject everyone else's standards in order that you can test and establish your own. It is necessary that you go through this process in order to find your own path in life. Changes will happen in swift succession, and this is exciting as well as scary. During this time you may also undergo many inward changes which can be quite confusing. In a way, you are feeling the need to "find yourself."

During the second Uranus square (in your early sixties), you undergo changes as you move from adulthood to mature older age. Many people go through crises during this second transit, and these events force them to realize that they suddenly feel old. If you have been able to make necessary changes in your life's direction in the past and have not become too rigid in your values and your thinking, this transit will go easier. The knowledge that you are getting old isn't so hard if you have a strong sense of inner self and enjoy a sense of fulfillment in life.

If you are experiencing the second Uranus square and are nearing retirement, this may be the crisis situation the transit brings. You may feel lost and without direction, not knowing what to do with your Golden Years. Learn to appreciate the wisdom and depth of self-knowledge that come with old age; this allows you to age gracefully and contentedly.

If you feel that your decisions in life have not been good ones and you are unhappy with the path you have taken, it is never too late to change it. The most beneficial use of this transit is to get to know yourself very well and examine your own inner values so you can make needed adjustments to achieve greater satisfaction.

Mars is in the 12th: 3/20/2008 12:33 AM, Moving Forwards at Degree 0 in a 31 Degree House

Mars is in the 12th house now. Unconscious behavior patterns could influence self-assertion. Self-destructive tendencies could emerge. Use energies in unselfish or shared activities.

Mars square Neptune: 3/20/2008 12:31 PM, Exact

Feelings of malice and discouragement, or the desire to take evasive action accompany this phase. Vitality is low. Drugs and alcohol complicate matters.

Neptune sextile Midheaven: 3/21/2008 9:31 AM, Exact

Neptune will sextile your Midheaven only once in your lifetime (maybe twice if it occurs at a very early age). You are highly idealistic now, and others may consider you irresponsible and impractical in your attempt to set what appear to them to be unrealistic goals. It is imperative that your life have meaning now that goes beyond the day-to-day necessities of life. Material possessions are useful as a means to an end, but you are no longer satisfied to make the accumulation of wealth your main goal in life.

Now is a good time to explore spiritual subjects and to experiment with metaphysics and the occult. This is an excellent time to practice yoga and meditation. You may become involved with spiritual or consciousness-raising groups, although you will probably avoid organized religion at this time. Many people experience increased psychic awareness during this transit, and your intuition is probably very accurate, especially regarding your career or business. If you are an artist, musician, photographer or writer, your work will be exceptionally creative and imaginative.

At this time you will learn that being overly rational and intellectual only limits your perception of the universe. You may find that a pleasant blend of intuition and common sense works best. You will be more unselfish and compassionate now, and you will find it very rewarding.

Mars conjunct Saturn: 5/2/2008 11:49 PM, Exact

Stumbling blocks must be converted into stepping stones. Frustrated actions create irritability. Wait a few days to tackle anything demanding.

Uranus is in the 9th house now. Thinking and understanding are enhanced by a sudden and unique experience. Travel or legal complications could be disruptive or unusual.

Jupiter square Midheaven: 5/10/2008 4:09 PM, Closest Approach (0.77)

At this time you will set high goals and try to achieve something of significance in your career. You are no longer content to maintain the status quo because your sense of ambition is more powerful than usual and you have the self-confidence to take on a larger task. In fact, one of the negative sides of this transit is the danger of an inflated ego.

You feel more competent than usual, and you will set your goals high. You are willing to work hard for what you want, even to the point of neglecting your home life. Be careful that you do not become overconfident and take poorly calculated risks. Also, avoid a tendency to promise more than you can realistically deliver. Pay closer attention to details than ever, since you are prone to overlooking them at this time.

You want more "elbow room" in your professional life, and you may want to change jobs or expand your business in order to achieve greater freedom of expression. Just be sure to stay within your budget--and keep it conservative. If you will exercise caution in your judgment, you could well achieve your goals with this transit. For best results, just be sure to develop a little self-discipline and keep your ego and overconfidence to a minimum.

Mars sextile Neptune: 5/20/2008 1:55 PM, Exact

Charity and goodwill often characterize this phase. The ego takes a back seat to the needs of others through unselfish acts.

Mars conjunct Ascendant: 5/21/2008 6:48 AM, Exact

Keep a watchful eye on how you come across to others for the next couple of days, since you now have considerable personal energy available to achieve your desires. You do not want to lose control of it or offend others as you go after what you want.

Mars is in the 1st: 5/21/2008 6:48 AM, Moving Forwards at Degree 0 in a 20 Degree House

Jupiter square Moon: 7/15/2008 8:57 AM, Exact

Although squares are usually considered to be times of difficulty, with Jupiter the results are usually very favorable. Your emotions will be emphasized during this transit, and you will seek to establish strong relationships with others. You are particularly patient and sympathetic toward other peoples' problems now, and you will probably help others more freely at this time. You feel very close to those you love and may be somewhat protective of their interests. You also feel like being generous to yourself as well. Be careful not to gain weight, especially if you usually have to watch your waistline.

This transit often brings a time of sentimental nostalgia, and you will find yourself remembering many incidents of your past. These may not all be pleasant memories, but if uncomfortable events emerge from your past, this is an excellent time to deal with them. These areas of your psyche which were wounded in previous years are coming up now in order that you may heal them and move on in your life. You may find that you will be especially attached to your most prized possessions and your familiar surroundings during this time. This link to the past provides you with a sense of security.

At this time you have strong feelings about the injustices of society. You may undergo a sense of moral outrage when you see some person or a group of people being treated unfairly. You have little tolerance for such injustices now and are prone to becoming very emotional about them. Be careful not to become self-righteous and narrow minded; there are always at least two sides to every story. Feel free to help others who need it, but try not to become bitter toward those whom you feel are responsible.

In your love life be sure that you are willing to give your lover the same freedom that you demand. If either of you becomes possessive now, this will most certainly cause tension and conflict. You will be more emotional than usual during this time, and you must be careful not to overwhelm your partner with your powerful feelings. This is a time during which you will delve into your unconscious to examine long forgotten aspects of yourself. For your own sake and the sake of your loved ones, try to under-exaggerate your problems; otherwise you will become an emotional wreck. Avoid gambling or "get-rich-quick" schemes. There are bound to be hidden costs.

Mars conjunct Mars: 7/16/2008 10:19 PM, Exact

If Mars is not under the influence of other challenging aspects. This is the renewal of a 2-year energy cycle. Start something new.

Group projects requiring physical effort can be accomplished now. Opportunities arise to take charge, self-confidence soars.

Jupiter square Chiron: 7/25/2008 5:42 PM, Closest Approach (0.02)

This transit will occur only twice in each 12-year cycle of Jupiter and is a good time to review long-held beliefs that you may not have previously questioned. These beliefs may be deeply imbedded in your psyche, especially those which you formed as a result of early life experiences. Now you're deciding which of your beliefs you'll keep because they ring true for you, and which you'll discard as really belonging to someone else. You may have to take a stand against valued family members, teachers and mentors in order to follow your own path. It's difficult for you to follow rules and regulations now, and you may have conflicts with authority figures. Use more than a little caution in such situations, since you're really not as lucky as you feel. Just remember that if you really want to bring about permanent change, working within the system is usually the best way.

This is an excellent time to travel to or study about foreign lands and cultures. You'll learn a great deal from those you meet on your journey (or in your classroom) that will help to broaden your view of the world. Then you'll return home with a renewed desire to share your new-found knowledge and experience with others. Just be careful not to become over-zealous and even fanatical about sharing your views by criticizing people just because they don't agree with you. Excessive pushiness could result in confrontations with others, and perhaps legal battles. Also, avoid blindly following spiritual leaders or gurus now, especially if they are involved in anything resembling a cult.

Your curiosity about metaphysical sciences and holistic health will increase during this transit, either because of your increased sense of experimentation, or because you seek cures for physical, spiritual or psychological wounds you've found difficult to heal. You may try such new techniques as meditation, yoga, acupuncture, aromatherapy, homeopathy, healing with crystals or laying on of hands. It's possible you'll work with others to bring about greater acceptance for these alternative philosophies. You may even consider a new career in one of these fields.

Mars is in the 3rd: 8/6/2008 1:26 AM, Moving Forwards at Degree 0 in a 31 Degree House

Mars is in the 3rd house now, stimulating the expression of opinions and ideas with close associates, and leading to possible conflicts. Intellectually demanding tasks can be mastered.

Jupiter oppose Sun: 8/10/2008 4:02 PM, Exact

This transit is usually a positive one, although it does have its dangers. You are likely to grow a great deal during this time, and you may achieve a certain level of success and be rewarded for your past years of preparation. The important thing is to remember when you are in the spotlight that material growth is not the only thing that matters. Many people have achieved "success" only to find they lacked the inner capacity to handle it.

There is the danger of overconfidence at this time, and perhaps even a little arrogance. Avoid a tendency to become rigidly opinionated (even fanatical) in your religious, cultural and educational views. Closely examine your motives to be sure you're not practicing hypocrisy. Be sure to work on an equal basis with others for mutual growth. Working with others now can help you to clearly identify and express your own individuality. You can learn a great deal from others around you at this time.

This transit also brings the tendency to gamble or spend extravagantly. It is fun to indulge yourself and enjoy it, but also remember to keep track of your financial limits. You may feel so overconfident that you assume the resources you have access to now will always be there. However, such is not the case. Spend wisely and don't overindulge in drink or merriment.

Some people have problems with authority figures at this time. Again, you may tend to have a chip on your shoulder now, and those in a position of power over you are very tempted to knock it off. Be careful not to "bite off more than you can chew." Acting belligerent around police officers, for example, is guaranteed to get you into trouble.

Mars sextile Saturn: 8/13/2008 3:45 PM, Exact

Construction projects run smoothly. Energy is sustained in cooperative efforts. Business and industry prosper. Take care of details.

Saturn conjunct Mars: 8/13/2008 10:30 PM, Exact

This transit will occur only once every 28-30 years. You feel very frustrated now, as though you are fighting a losing battle every day. You put out a great deal of energy and then get nothing but resistance and opposition in return. How bad this resistance will be depends largely on how you handle the energies of this transit. What is really happening is that your energy is being held back or inhibited. The more you can narrow your focus now, the more successful you will be.

It is likely that you will feel irritable now. This is complicated by the fact that you are likely to have more than a few problems in your life now. People seem to interfere with your goals whether they mean to or not. Every situation you encounter seems to contain a built-in defense system against your succeeding. At work you may encounter opposition from your boss or coworkers. Or you may find yourself doing a major share of the overall work.

One frequent manifestation of this transit is an ego dispute with someone on the job. While it may seem to you as though there is a conspiracy against you, this may not really be the case. For some reason others find you threatening, whether you intend to be or not. For this reason they react by trying to stop you in whatever you do. Under this transit it is even possible that you could be the victim of such an attack without any obvious provocation from you.

The best way to handle this transit is to confine your efforts to a few projects instead of trying to take on too much at once. Keep your goals modest now and you are less likely to be disappointed. This is a good time to get a check-up since the energies are quite intense and could result in physical problems, especially with bones, skin and teeth. You could also experience conflicts with superiors or authority figures, such as government agencies.

Saturn sextile Sun: 9/18/2008 6:51 PM, Exact

This transit occurs twice in every 28- to 30-year cycle of Saturn. While it is not a necessarily "lucky" transit, it is a time when you will receive opportunities that can reward you handsomely if you are willing to work hard. The key word here, however, is "opportunities." And, as we all know, they don't knock twice. Don't be afraid to pursue offers that look promising. But you will have to put forth the effort in order to achieve your goals. You have the self-discipline and stamina now to undertake the most demanding tasks.

Your greatest success during this time will be the reputation you achieve for your good work and high level of responsibility. You must proceed with caution now in order to protect that reputation; be sure to keep your commitments and not to promise more than you can deliver. You easily inspire the respect of others now--employers as well as Coworkers or employees--and you will be able to fall back on this reputation later in life.

Now is an excellent time to gain insights into planning a better future. This is an especially good time to seek favors from persons of authority and to negotiate business contracts. You may even encounter a new love partner through your career. Your health will be generally good during this time, but don't get careless and abuse it. Build up your physical as well as spiritual strength now; you may need it later. Instead of kicking back and enjoying the ride of this pleasant transit, take steps to lay a foundation upon which you can build in the future.

Mars sextile Venus: 9/21/2008 7:21 AM, Exact

This is a time for entertainment, parties and physical love. Artists feel creative. Relationships with the opposite sex prosper.

Neptune oppose Venus: 10/24/2008 6:24 PM, Exact

This once-in-a-lifetime transit often brings difficulties with personal relationships and finances. You tend to see people the way you want them to be rather than how they truly are. You are seeking perfection in your partner, but that's too much to ask of a fellow human. Be more willing to see and accept your lover's faults, and you'll suffer less disappointment later on. Pretending their faults don't exist can set you up for a big fall.

Beware of secret or clandestine love affairs now. You should be able to enjoy your love without having to hide it from others. Don't risk the trust and respect of your loved ones by lying and being deceptive. This can produce chasms between you that take years to heal. Make a special effort to communicate your feelings clearly and truthfully to avoid any chance of a misunderstanding.

If a new relationship begins at this time, it will be particularly romantic and captivating. Allow the effects of this transit to pass before making a firm commitment to any such new person. The test of time will determine whether it is based on reality or is merely a product of your over-active idealism. It will also allow you to ensure that your lover feels the same way you do.

Avoid engaging in business deals which offer a lot for very little investment. Your judgment is not very sound now, and such deals may indeed be too good to be true. You are highly creative now and could constructively use your increased imagination as an artist, photographer, musician or poet. Since your physical energy is low, you should eat well and get plenty of rest. Avoid indulging in drugs or alcohol, and stay away from stressful or overly negative people and situations.

Saturn square Uranus: 11/6/2008 4:27 PM, Exact

Saturn will square Uranus twice in each of its 28- to 30-year cycles. This is a rather difficult transit to handle, especially if you have become too inflexible in your thinking and habit patterns. You feel a strong desire for new, exciting experiences, but your efforts to seek them out seem to be blocked by outside forces. You may react by making radical and (to others) surprising changes in your life.

Any tensions you have been living with on a day-to-day basis will come to a boiling point now. You may be forced to make changes that should have been made long ago, and the harder you hold on to the status quo, the more difficult the changes will be. You may as well cooperate; you can't stop them from taking place, you can only try to direct them. This transit can indicate sudden financial loss, especially if your fortune was acquired through questionable means. Legal conflicts and problems with government agencies are possible.

The challenge of this transit is to make necessary changes in your life without disrupting the basic structure. You must find a balance--don't make changes just for the sake of change, and don't resist change when you instinctively know it is needed. And don't "throw the baby out with the bath water" when rearranging your life. Keep what is solid and valuable to your growth.

If you resist change now or become too revolutionary in your efforts to bring about change, you may encounter accidents, injuries or illnesses. You may also experience problems in your personal relationships, especially if they have been restricting you. Any such relationships may break up now, and you will realize later that it was for the best.

You may also undergo radical change in your career--such as getting fired or suddenly quitting. This may come as a result of sudden changes or occurrences on the job which prompt the release of long pent-up tension. You do not get along well with authority figures in general under this transit. Learn to think twice before opening your mouth.
