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. Request a personal reading if you would like to examine your upcoming changes more thoroughly.

Now on to your personal transits report.

House Transits and Transiting Aspects

Jupiter is in the 1st: 3/29/2009 12:00 AM, Moving Forwards at Degree 0 in a 38 Degree House

Jupiter is in the 1st house now, bringing great improvement to your environment, self-confidence and advantages. Relationships are a source of mutual benefit, personality is expansive.

Saturn is in the 7th: 3/29/2009 12:00 AM, Moving Backwards at Degree 28 in a 38 Degree House

Saturn is in the 7th house now, bringing the focus on partnerships and marriage. It's time to work at relating to others who may be more demanding now. Face reality about yourself.

Uranus is in the 1st: 3/29/2009 12:00 AM, Moving Forwards at Degree 35 in a 38 Degree House

Uranus is in the 1st house now, bringing changes in appearance, environment and commitment. Rebellious tendencies emerge. Events may be upsetting. Let go of the status quo.

Neptune is in the 1st: 3/29/2009 12:00 AM, Moving Forwards at Degree 7 in a 38 Degree House

Neptune is in the 1st house now. Uncertain and confusing circumstances can affect relationships. Things are not as they seem. Try to relate from reality. Avoid pretense.

Pluto is in the 11th: 3/29/2009 12:00 AM, Moving Forwards at Degree 9 in a 25 Degree House

Pluto is in the 11th house now. Friendships and group activities will have a profoundly transforming effect. Hope, wishes and goals undergo transitions. Avoid manipulators.

Uranus oppose Mars: 3/29/2009 12:00 AM, 0.95 deg. orb

The issue of freedom and rebelling against restrictions will present itself in your life now. Either you will feel the need to strike out against oppressive forces in your life, or others will rebel against your efforts to place restrictions on them. The combination of Uranus and Mars is a powerful one, and this transit (the opposition) will only happen once in every 84 years, so that for most it is a once-in-a-lifetime transit.

You react strongly to challenges now and will pick up most any gauntlet that is thrown at your feet. It is not difficult to pick a fight with you now, and you may even pick a few yourself. Be sure not to suppress resentment or anger now, for it will burst forth with unprecedented force. Learn to talk about what is bothering you when it happens. Don't let it build up to volcanic proportions. This type of inner cauldron can also result in accidents or physical illness if you're not careful, especially involving sharp objects, machinery (including automobiles), electricity, firearms, or explosives. Also be careful not to pick fights with supervisors or authority figures, especially the police.

If you try to pretend that nothing is wrong and you are cool as a cucumber, events will take place which will force your pent-up anger and frustration to the surface. Explosions are quite common at this time. No, you're not going crazy and totally losing control. The transit will eventually pass. In the meantime, learn to cooperate with the energies of Uranus and Mars by asserting yourself when appropriate.

Be willing to implement needed changes in your life--both inner and outer. Don't hide your head in the sand and wait for these energies to go away. Taking action to make changes now (even if they seem rather radical) is the best way to make use of this transit. Many issues are being forced to your attention in order that you may deal with them. Be willing to depart from your previously held beliefs and codes of behavior. Under this transit, anything goes.

Jupiter conjunct Ascendant: 3/29/2009 12:00 AM, 0.52 deg. orb

This transit occurs once every 12 years, and it marks the beginning of a new cycle in your personal and professional relationships. You will find your circle of friends expanding during this transit, and your new friends will offer you larger perspectives on the world. Some of them may be rich and/or powerful, but what is most important is that they have something to teach you. You will feel warm and giving toward your loved ones now, and as a result your friends are more appreciative and see to it that you also feel loved. This is an excellent time for equalizing the balance of give-and-take in your relationships.

The only danger is that (as with other Jupiter transits) you may become overconfident or arrogant, so that others feel you are looking down on them. This is usually not a problem unless arrogance is already an issue for you. This transit does make you feel very optimistic and convinced that nothing can go wrong. Just be careful not to be too reckless.

Now is an excellent time to socialize with friends, to travel, and to make a good impression on a personal or professional level. You may also have the opportunity to travel to foreign lands. You will feel particularly healthy, and you are particularly resistant to disease and infection now. During this time you feel like being good to yourself, so that few diets make it through this transit. Jupiter brings expansion, and in this case it could involve your waistline.

You are primarily interested in learning and growing at this time, and you will seek out others who will stimulate your curiosity and give you a perspective of the world which is different from your own. You may begin a new love relationship now, and you're more open to the idea of partnership and marriage than usual. This is also an excellent time to resolve legal disputes through arbitration and compromise.

Neptune oppose Uranus: 3/29/2009 12:00 AM, 0.25 deg. orb

This once-in-a-lifetime transit will explode your consciousness, as you begin to understand aspects of life which you never dreamed possible. Some people experience staggering revelations during this transit which lead them to change their view of reality as they know it. You may begin to seek more information and experience in such areas as metaphysics, astrology, magic, yoga, meditation, or drugs. Another possibility is that you will join in activity aimed at transforming the world.

Psychologically, you are undergoing tremendous changes as you gain new understanding and perspective on life. Some of these changes may result from your disappointment in others who mislead or deceive you. Don't attempt to escape life's harsh realities through drugs or alcohol, for you could become addicted now. After this transit has passed, you will be able to see the full impact of these changes as you look back and realize that you are not at all the same person you were a year ago. Only then will you gain an appreciation of the insights you have gained.

If you feel confused or uncertain during this time, just pull back, don't fret, and wait for things to settle down. Since your judgment is more cloudy than usual, this is not a time to push things or to insist on meeting your goals right now. As a matter of fact, if you try to make long-range plans now you will probably find yourself changing them later as your thinking changes and your goals along with it. If you allow room for this erratic behavior in your schedule, you'll have less difficulty.

Others who are not under the influence of this transit will wonder what is wrong with you. They can't see that a revolution in your ideas and life goals must take place now. You cannot expect everyone to understand, but those who are truly committed to you will.

Uranus sextile Saturn: 5/4/2009 12:23 PM, Exact

This transit occurs only twice in each 84-year cycle of Uranus and brings you the opportunity to make constructive changes in your life without totally disrupting it. Although at times it may have seemed that "the system" got in the way of your total freedom of expression. At this time, however, you could even work inside any system or structure (such as a governmental agency) and bring about needed change.

You are highly creative now and full of new, innovative ideas. This is an excellent boost to your career as well as any other projects you may undertake. Promotions are common under this transit, and you may have the opportunity to master new methods and techniques. You could learn a great deal now, because you have the patience and perseverance to do so. Whatever the case, you will find your job more interesting and challenging now.

It is possible that you will focus in on the need for social change during this transit. You would be good at organizing groups to work toward a mutual goal now, and your plans would be thorough and carefully considered. Others are receptive to your ideas, and you can bring about practical changes through your idealistic efforts. Your intuition is keen now, and this gift can help you in many practical decisions you make. This is an excellent time to study or practice metaphysical sciences, such as astrology.

At this time you are learning to balance the need for structure and the need for change. While these may seem to be opposites, they are actually two sides of the same coin. Without some structure within which to work, we have no idea what changes need to be made or what is working and what is not. This is an excellent time to gain greater understanding of this balance.

Jupiter oppose Uranus: 5/12/2009 9:12 AM, Exact

This transit occurs only once in the 12-year cycle of Jupiter and is usually a time of needed change. You have a strong need for personal freedom now, whether you realize it or not, and you may become distant and unreliable if you feel crowded. Although it may not seem pleasant while you are undergoing this transit, in retrospect you will realize the value of the changes you are going through now. Many of these changes will be instigated by you; others will be thrust upon you.

If you have been tolerating a restrictive or oppressive situation (or person), you will no longer be able to do so. You may feel as though you are stuck in a rut of sorts and will seek experiences (and people) who are different from whatever is normal for you. You may suddenly break away from friendships, your job, or anything else in your life which has restricted your freedom of expression. Instead of being overcome with grief over the loss of these parts of your life, you will feel a sense of intense relief, as though you have been liberated.

If change is being thrust upon you (for example, your lover wants out but you want the relationship to continue), it will be easier in the long run if you can loosen your grip rather than tighten it. Others may also try to provoke change in your life by convincing you that you need it. Change will inevitably occur in your life now; your challenge is to direct it by developing patience and discipline. Don't expect more than is reasonable, and don't promise more than you can deliver.

One danger of this transit is that in your haste to throw away everyone (and thing) which has stifled you, you may "throw the baby out with the bath water" by also eliminating persons and things from your life which still have great value. Those relationships you have which are solid and are still contributing to your growth will survive this transit, even though they may be tested.

Uranus is in the 2nd: 5/19/2009 1:57 PM, Moving Forwards at Degree 0 in a 34 Degree House

Uranus is in the 2nd house now. Expect changes in your material and financial status. Sudden gains or losses are possible. Remain flexible regarding possessions and income.

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.

Pluto oppose Venus: 6/30/2009 6:45 AM, Exact

This transit will occur only once in your lifetime and will deeply affect your relationships. You are seeking greater depth in your love life, and this transit could indicate the deepening of an existing relationship or the appearance of a new partner. Any relationship that does begin now will certainly be intense and will have a powerful effect on your life, whether it lasts or not. It would be best to wait until this transit has passed before making any long-term commitments to a new love.

At worst, you will become manipulative and controlling toward your lover (or they toward you). Sex is a common weapon in such power struggles, and one or both of you may use it as a bargaining chip to get what you want from the other. If you meet someone new, you may become obsessed and feel irresistibly drawn to them, even though you know they are not good for you. One or both of you may become overly possessive and jealous.

At best, you and your lover could experience more intense feelings toward each other, and a greater sense of commitment and fulfillment between you. Sex will be particularly exciting now, and you are more willing than usual to explore your deepest sexual desires and fantasies, which you usually suppress.

Your relationships will certainly undergo great challenge now, and it is possible that some will not be able to endure the challenges of this transit. Those relationships which are solid will survive, however, and they will deepen because of the challenges you have faced together. The best advice is to be open and honest with your partner. Now is not the time to have hidden motivations or intentions. Secret or clandestine affairs should be avoided, as they are likely to backfire.

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 trine Saturn: 9/20/2009 11:45 AM, Exact

Now is an excellent time for reflection on where you have been and where you are going in life. You have a clear understanding of who you are and what you want to make of your life and have the patience and careful planning skills at this time to make the most of it. The solid foundations that you are able to establish now will serve you well in the future.

You are able to think back over your past experiences now and gain the most from them. This does not mean you will dwell on the past, but you will be able to see the value of your experience and the wisdom you have gained over the years. You are able to see any "failures" as valuable lessons. This now gives you the understanding you need to plan effectively for the future.

Now is a good time to make progress in your career or business. Because of your heightened sense of honesty and integrity, employers or clients appreciate your expertise now more than ever and will spread word about you to others. This is an excellent time to negotiate or sign business contracts. Your personal relationships will also be more stable now.

This is a time for preparation, and only time will truly tell the results of the plans you are now laying down. As time progresses, be willing to make changes and modifications to the plans you have set up. Remember, no plan has to be so firmly set in concrete that it cannot adapt to future changes.

During this transit you have the ability to see clearly who you are and how you are succeeding at your goals in life, and to make necessary changes or adjustments in order to increase your chance of success. You don't mind working hard for what you want now, and this transit often signifies professional advancement, such as a promotion or better job. It's easier for you to balance the needs of your professional and domestic lives now.

The approval of family and friends means a great deal to you now, as you want their respect. Be careful not to fall into old patterns and conditioning by living your life to please others instead of deciding on your own what is appropriate for you. It would be good to work alone as much as possible during this transit. Now is not a good time to take on the responsibility of managing other people.

This transit will present you with opportunities to stabilize your career and to become clearer about your long-term goals. However, it is up to you to take the initiative and act on these opportunities. If you can provide the motivation, this can be a time of great success. It's also an excellent time to seek the advice of those older and wiser than you.

This is an excellent time for equalizing the balance of give-and-take in your relationships.

The only danger is that (as with other Jupiter transits) you may become overconfident or arrogant, so that others feel you are looking down on them. This is usually not a problem unless arrogance is already an issue for you. This transit does make you feel very optimistic and convinced that nothing can go wrong. Just be careful not to be too reckless.

Now is an excellent time to socialize with friends, to travel, and to make a good impression on a personal or professional level. You may also have the opportunity to travel to foreign lands. You will feel particularly healthy, and you are particularly resistant to disease and infection now. During this time you feel like being good to yourself, so that few diets make it through this transit. Jupiter brings expansion, and in this case it could involve your waistline.

You are primarily interested in learning and growing at this time, and you will seek out others who will stimulate your curiosity and give you a perspective of the world which is different from your own. You may begin a new love relationship now, and you're more open to the idea of partnership and marriage than usual. This is also an excellent time to resolve legal disputes through arbitration and compromise.

Saturn trine Jupiter: 11/6/2009 10:16 PM, Exact

You are more organized than usual now, and your business affairs are likely to run smoothly. If you are willing to work hard now, you can establish solid foundations in your life upon which to build for your future. Although things work out better than usual now, this is not merely a run of luck; you've worked for everything you will get. With your healthy mix of optimism and caution, you can accomplish a great deal.

This is an excellent time for career advancement, especially in areas related to politics, law, science, education, religion, travel or business administration. Supervisors and authority figures who are in a position to help you will do so now. They can see that you are a worthwhile investment and realize that they too will benefit from becoming your allies. Since you are willing to compromise and cooperate now, you can team up with others and accomplish a great deal more than you could on your own.

It is easy for you to plan for the future now because you have a clear vision of where you want to go in life. But you also have patience and a willingness to work steadily toward your goals. You are practical enough to see that achieving them will take time and don't expect to reach the top tomorrow. Now is a good time to make long-range plans and to organize your life accordingly. It would also be wise to utilize this fortuitous combination of good luck (Jupiter) and practicality (Saturn) by putting some money aside or investing in a carefully considered project.

During this time you may receive valuable counsel from persons who are much older than you. The more you can humble yourself and respect their wisdom, the more you will grow through your association with such teachers.

Saturn square Venus: 11/16/2009 4:17 PM, Exact

It is difficult for you to relate to others at this time, and you may find yourself feeling lonely. Your present love relationship may grow cold or even end, although a solid relationship will survive the test of this transit. You may end up spending time alone rather than attempting to socialize because it just seems to make life easier and less complicated.

You may suddenly discover that you have not been seeing your partner realistically and have to face the harsh reality of who they really are. Or, you or your partner may just decide that the relationship no longer serves a positive purpose in your life. Another possibility is that outside circumstances could interfere with or break up a relationship. If this does happen, it is most likely that your own subconscious desires for a better relationship are contributing to the breakup, even though this is not obvious on the surface.

Take advantage of this time alone and search out your true needs in relationships. People enter into love affairs for all the "wrong" reasons. Now is a good time to mull over what your true needs are. You have a strong need for freedom now and need to be left alone to be yourself without being judged by others. In this way, you can gain new insight into who you really are.

Any relationship which passes from your life now could not stand the test of this transit and is probably not strong enough to be of value to you in the future. Anyone who cannot support you being yourself is not contributing to your growth now. This is a good time to separate the wheat from the chaff. Your finances are likely to be tighter than usual now, and your usual sources of assistance may not be available. Avoid legal conflicts, as you may not like the outcome.

Pluto oppose Venus: 11/18/2009 7:38 AM, Exact

This transit will occur only once in your lifetime and will deeply affect your relationships. You are seeking greater depth in your love life, and this transit could indicate the deepening of an existing relationship or the appearance of a new partner. Any relationship that does begin now will certainly be intense and will have a powerful effect on your life, whether it lasts or not. It would be best to wait until this transit has passed before making any long-term commitments to a new love.

At worst, you will become manipulative and controlling toward your lover (or they toward you). Sex is a common weapon in such power struggles, and one or both of you may use it as a bargaining chip to get what you want from the other. If you meet someone new, you may become obsessed and feel irresistibly drawn to them, even though you know they are not good for you. One or both of you may become overly possessive and jealous.

At best, you and your lover could experience more intense feelings toward each other, and a greater sense of commitment and fulfillment between you. Sex will be particularly exciting now, and you are more willing than usual to explore your deepest sexual desires and fantasies, which you usually suppress.

Your relationships will certainly undergo great challenge now, and it is possible that some will not be able to endure the challenges of this transit. Those relationships which are solid will survive, however, and they will deepen because of the challenges you have faced together. The best advice is to be open and honest with your partner. Now is not the time to have hidden motivations or intentions. Secret or clandestine affairs should be avoided, as they are likely to backfire.

Saturn sextile Mercury: 11/22/2009 11:33 PM, Exact

Your thinking is stabilized now, and you are able to accomplish a great deal. You have a clear vision of your goals in life and are willing to work as hard as necessary to achieve them. This is an excellent time to draw up long-range plans, for you pay careful attention to all details now. There will be few surprises due to lack of preparation or planning. You will be careful to cover all bases.

In order to make most effective use of the energies of this transit, however, you should focus your mental energies on one project rather than several. This allows maximum use of your intellectual discipline and perseverance. Now would be a good time to get organized and set priorities. You can look at life realistically now and are serious about setting and achieving goals.

The only possible drawback of this transit is that you could develop a rigidity of mind that would not allow you to change your position as circumstances warrant. Be careful not to become stubborn or narrow minded; be willing to consider options other than your own. Allow for that constant unknown variable in life.

You will demand excellence from yourself and those around you now and are likely to be more critical of others than usual. Although you may be "right" about the faults or shortcomings of others, be careful not to hit them over the head with it. Develop some diplomacy and be willing to consider that they may even be "right" from time to time. This would be a good time to renew old friendships and to consult your elders for advice.

Saturn offers an opportunity for you to plan and build a stable life now. The more progress you can make during this transit, the better prepared you will be to handle Saturn's square or conjunction to your Mercury in a few years. Don't waste this opportunity or limit it with inflexible thinking. Now is the time to lay a solid foundation in your life that can withstand future challenge.

Uranus oppose Mars: 12/3/2009 9:03 PM, Closest Approach (0.14)

The issue of freedom and rebelling against restrictions will present itself in your life now. Either you will feel the need to strike out against oppressive forces in your life, or others will rebel against your efforts to place restrictions on them. The combination of Uranus and Mars is a powerful one, and this transit (the opposition) will only happen once in every 84 years, so that for most it is a once-in-a-lifetime transit.

You react strongly to challenges now and will pick up most any gauntlet that is thrown at your feet. It is not difficult to pick a fight with you now, and you may even pick a few yourself. Be sure not to suppress resentment or anger now, for it will burst forth with unprecedented force. Learn to talk about what is bothering you when it happens. Don't let it build up to volcanic proportions. This type of inner cauldron can also result in accidents or physical illness if you're not careful, especially involving sharp objects, machinery (including automobiles), electricity, firearms, or explosives. Also be careful not to pick fights with supervisors or authority figures, especially the police.

If you try to pretend that nothing is wrong and you are cool as a cucumber, events will take place which will force your pent-up anger and frustration to the surface. Explosions are quite common at this time. No, you're not going crazy and totally losing control. The transit will eventually pass. In the meantime, learn to cooperate with the energies of Uranus and Mars by asserting yourself when appropriate.

Be willing to implement needed changes in your life--both inner and outer. Don't hide your head in the sand and wait for these energies to go away. Taking action to make changes now (even if they seem rather radical) is the best way to make use of this transit. Many issues are being forced to your attention in order that you may deal with them. Be willing to depart from your previously held beliefs and codes of behavior. Under this transit, anything goes.

Saturn trine Moon: 12/6/2009 3:38 PM, Exact

During this time your life will begin to run more smoothly. Finally, your goals and responsibilities are not at odds with your emotional needs, but rather are in harmony with them. You will probably enjoy work more than usual now, as well as your home life; they will complement each other rather than being at odds.

You are able to look at your goals and plans more objectively now and to make careful, well-considered decisions. This is an excellent time to undertake projects to improve your home, business or personal life. It's a good time to catch up on needed repairs at home, move or buy a new home, or perhaps plan a better budget which also allows you some breathing room.

You will receive much advice, encouragement and understanding from others. Women, especially, will share insights with you that open your eyes to other perspectives. You may enjoy associating with older people now, partly because you yourself are more emotionally mature now than usual. Take this opportunity to request and listen to the advice of elders.

Now is an excellent time to lay down a foundation for your future plans. Decisions made now will be well thought out and probably relatively objective and conservative. You are very practical and patient, so you are less likely to take foolish risks. This is an especially good time for businesses involving food, farming and real estate.

This transit occurs only once in the 12-year cycle of Jupiter and is usually a time of needed change. You have a strong need for personal freedom now, whether you realize it or not, and you may become distant and unreliable if you feel crowded. Although it may not seem pleasant while you are undergoing this transit, in retrospect you will realize the value of the changes you are going through now. Many of these changes will be instigated by you; others will be thrust upon you.

If you have been tolerating a restrictive or oppressive situation (or person), you will no longer be able to do so. You may feel as though you are stuck in a rut of sorts and will seek experiences (and people) who are different from whatever is normal for you. You may suddenly break away from friendships, your job, or anything else in your life which has restricted your freedom of expression. Instead of being overcome with grief over the loss of these parts of your life, you will feel a sense of intense relief, as though you have been liberated.

If change is being thrust upon you (for example, your lover wants out but you want the relationship to continue), it will be easier in the long run if you can loosen your grip rather than tighten it. Others may also try to provoke change in your life by convincing you that you need it. Change will inevitably occur in your life now; your challenge is to direct it by developing patience and discipline. Don't expect more than is reasonable, and don't promise more than you can deliver.

One danger of this transit is that in your haste to throw away everyone (and thing) which has stifled you, you may "throw the baby out with the bath water" by also eliminating persons and things from your life which still have great value. Those relationships you have which are solid and are still contributing to your growth will survive this transit, even though they may be tested.

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.

This once-in-a-lifetime transit will explode your consciousness, as you begin to understand aspects of life which you never dreamed possible. Some people experience staggering revelations during this transit which lead them to change their view of reality as they know it. You may begin to seek more information and experience in such areas as metaphysics, astrology, magic, yoga, meditation, or drugs. Another possibility is that you will join in activity aimed at transforming the world.

Psychologically, you are undergoing tremendous changes as you gain new understanding and perspective on life. Some of these changes may result from your disappointment in others who mislead or deceive you. Don't attempt to escape life's harsh realities through drugs or alcohol, for you could become addicted now. After this transit has passed, you will be able to see the full impact of these changes as you look back and realize that you are not at all the same person you were a year ago. Only then will you gain an appreciation of the insights you have gained.

If you feel confused or uncertain during this time, just pull back, don't fret, and wait for things to settle down. Since your judgment is more cloudy than usual, this is not a time to push things or to insist on meeting your goals right now. As a matter of fact, if you try to make long-range plans now you will probably find yourself changing them later as your thinking changes and your goals along with it. If you allow room for this erratic behavior in your schedule, you'll have less difficulty.

Others who are not under the influence of this transit will wonder what is wrong with you. They can't see that a revolution in your ideas and life goals must take place now. You cannot expect everyone to understand, but those who are truly committed to you will.

This is a very pleasant, light-hearted transit. Your social life is quite enjoyable now, and you want to spend time with loved ones. It is a good time for a vacation or just plain having fun. You are inclined to feel pleasantly lazy and not interested in work at this time anyway, so you may as well enjoy it. If you must work, you may be able to travel as well or at least have interaction with foreign cultures. You feel generous toward others, and you find it easier than usual to be considerate and understanding of shortcomings.

You are optimistic and cheerful and can make others feel good if they are unhappy or depressed, and people enjoy your company now. You may do many favors for others now, and these will be returned later. This transit can indicate a new love affair, but it is more likely a passing fling. If a relationship does begin under this transit, you can be sure to learn a great deal from your partner. This is also a good time to work out the kinks in existing relationships.

This transit can bring money or other possessions that you value. But it also brings such a feeling of ease that you may spend it all immediately. Try to bear in mind that such wealth will not always come to you this easily. Invest your new-found wealth wisely. Your creative abilities are heightened now and you find it easier to obtain recognition for your efforts (especially if you work with art or music). This is also an excellent time to seek grants or hold fund-raisers. It is also favorable for education, as well as for legal matters.

Don't overdo on shopping sprees. Your taste is rather lavish now, and you may look at what you buy with a rather jaundiced eye later. You may also be self-indulgent at this time. Be careful not to eat or drink too much.

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.

This transit will occur only once 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. Don't hesitate to follow your instincts now; then you'll know better than anyone what's best for you.

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. In the process of exploring the differences between the world's myriad cultures, you'll discover how similar we all really are. Then you'll return home with a more tolerant and accepting attitude toward your neighbors, as well as a renewed desire to share your new-found knowledge and experience with others. Resist any temptation to preach to others or push your ideas too hard, for this would surely lead to disagreements and conflict.

Your curiosity about metaphysical sciences and holistic health will also 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.

As with most transits involving Pluto, this one signifies the danger of power struggles involving manipulation and domination. This can manifest itself either through your attempts to manipulate others or their attempts to manipulate you. Forces that you encounter now will be quite powerful, and the outcome of conflicts will depend on how you handle this energy.

You may get a promotion or acquire power over others in some way, or you may have power used against you, such as by authority figures or supervisors. The more self-righteous you become now, the greater your chance for power struggles. Avoid becoming pushy or even fanatical about your idea of what's right. You will be attracted to occult matters, more for the power they hold than for mere curiosity. Be careful not to use these forces to attempt to control others; you are likely to take on more than you can handle.

Another danger is that you will adopt a know-it-all attitude. This is very likely to alienate others and even attract opposition from those who would love to knock you down a peg. Don't try to force your will on others; this will surely backfire. This can also be a time of conflicts with the law and with authority figures. They will be glad to show you where the power in society really lies.

Legal conflicts are also common during this time. To avoid the negative aspects of this transit, use this energy to work with others for the good of all instead of being ruthless in your drive for power over others.

Uranus sextile Saturn: 2/23/2010 6:11 AM, Exact

This transit occurs only twice in each 84-year cycle of Uranus and brings you the opportunity to make constructive changes in your life without totally disrupting it. Although at times it may have seemed that "the system" got in the way of your total freedom of expression. At this time, however, you could even work inside any system or structure (such as a governmental agency) and bring about needed change.

You are highly creative now and full of new, innovative ideas. This is an excellent boost to your career as well as any other projects you may undertake. Promotions are common under this transit, and you may have the opportunity to master new methods and techniques. You could learn a great deal now, because you have the patience and perseverance to do so. Whatever the case, you will find your job more interesting and challenging now.

It is possible that you will focus in on the need for social change during this transit. You would be good at organizing groups to work toward a mutual goal now, and your plans would be thorough and carefully considered. Others are receptive to your ideas, and you can bring about practical changes through your idealistic efforts. Your intuition is keen now, and this gift can help you in many practical decisions you make. This is an excellent time to study or practice metaphysical sciences, such as astrology.

At this time you are learning to balance the need for structure and the need for change. While these may seem to be opposites, they are actually two sides of the same coin. Without some structure within which to work, we have no idea what changes need to be made or what is working and what is not. This is an excellent time to gain greater understanding of this balance.

Jupiter trine Neptune: 2/23/2010 2:28 PM, Exact

During this transit you will undertake a search for spiritual truth. Spiritual, mystical and occult subjects attract you, and you can gain much insight by studying them. Sometimes this transit brings with it a teacher or guide who can help you on your quest--or you may find that you will play this role for someone else. You are highly idealistic now, so if you do attract a teacher be sure that you do not overidealize them and set yourself up for disappointment.

You feel very humanitarian and compassionate now, and you want to work to help those in the world who are suffering. It is possible that you may become actively involved in charitable work, either on a one-to-one level or through an organization. And if it is you who needs the help, you are certain to get it from someone. Now is a time people often receive well-deserved recognition for past efforts.

During this time you may daydream a lot, but you may not necessarily be ambitious or attempt anything significant. If you have talent at art or music, your creativity will be heightened by this transit. At the far extreme, this transit can bring a feeling that everything is great and nothing can possibly go wrong. This is a pleasant feeling, but it doesn't prepare you to cope with the daily problems of life.

You may feel like gambling during this time, and it is O.K. to do so as long as you don't bet anything that you're not willing to lose. Go ahead and enjoy yourself, as long as you know when to quit.

Your thinking is stabilized now, and you are able to accomplish a great deal. You have a clear vision of your goals in life and are willing to work as hard as necessary to achieve them. This is an excellent time to draw up long-range plans, for you pay careful attention to all details now. There will be few surprises due to lack of preparation or planning. You will be careful to cover all bases.

In order to make most effective use of the energies of this transit, however, you should focus your mental energies on one project rather than several. This allows maximum use of your intellectual discipline and perseverance. Now would be a good time to get organized and set priorities. You can look at life realistically now and are serious about setting and achieving goals.

The only possible drawback of this transit is that you could develop a rigidity of mind that would not allow you to change your position as circumstances warrant. Be careful not to become stubborn or narrow minded; be willing to consider options other than your own. Allow for that constant unknown variable in life.

You will demand excellence from yourself and those around you now and are likely to be more critical of others than usual. Although you may be "right" about the faults or shortcomings of others, be careful not to hit them over the head with it. Develop some diplomacy and be willing to consider that they may even be "right" from time to time. This would be a good time to renew old friendships and to consult your elders for advice.

Saturn offers an opportunity for you to plan and build a stable life now. The more progress you can make during this transit, the better prepared you will be to handle Saturn's square or conjunction to your Mercury in a few years. Don't waste this opportunity or limit it with inflexible thinking. Now is the time to lay a solid foundation in your life that can withstand future challenge.

It is difficult for you to relate to others at this time, and you may find yourself feeling lonely. Your present love relationship may grow cold or even end, although a solid relationship will survive the test of this transit. You may end up spending time alone rather than attempting to socialize because it just seems to make life easier and less complicated.

You may suddenly discover that you have not been seeing your partner realistically and have to face the harsh reality of who they really are. Or, you or your partner may just decide that the relationship no longer serves a positive purpose in your life. Another possibility is that outside circumstances could interfere with or break up a relationship. If this does happen, it is most likely that your own subconscious desires for a better relationship are contributing to the breakup, even though this is not obvious on the surface.

Take advantage of this time alone and search out your true needs in relationships. People enter into love affairs for all the "wrong" reasons. Now is a good time to mull over what your true needs are. You have a strong need for freedom now and need to be left alone to be yourself without being judged by others. In this way, you can gain new insight into who you really are.

Any relationship which passes from your life now could not stand the test of this transit and is probably not strong enough to be of value to you in the future. Anyone who cannot support you being yourself is not contributing to your growth now. This is a good time to separate the wheat from the chaff. Your finances are likely to be tighter than usual now, and your usual sources of assistance may not be available. Avoid legal conflicts, as you may not like the outcome.

This Pluto transit will occur only twice in your lifetime and is a time of powerful transformation at the deepest level of your psyche. Whether or not this will be a traumatic experience largely depends on your attitude. If you believe you have to be "in control" in order to be secure, this transit will bring lessons about your personal use of power (or lack of it). You may encounter others who will attempt to manipulate and control you (especially authority figures, government bureaucracies or powerful corporations). Or, you may be forced to give up someone or something you thought you couldn't live without (despite your best efforts to control the situation).

Events may occur now which will bring up painful childhood memories, most likely related to sex, death, or money. Each of these memories is related to a deep wound you still carry from those early years, and they are resurfacing now to allow you to finally get to the root of unhealthy patterns in your life. This would be a good time to undergo therapy or other consciousness-raising activity that encourages intense self-examination. Once you've healed these long-time wounds, your relationships (and your sex life) will be much more fulfilling since you can stop making the same mistakes over and over.

Your interest in metaphysical and occult subjects will increase now, as you look for greater meaning behind events which occur. You may become a believer in karma, as you watch your thoughts and actions come back to you almost immediately through others. At this time you may feel very powerful and could take on grand tasks, especially when working to bring about social and environmental reform. If it seems your actions are blocked at times, step back a moment to re-examine your path. When you're moving in the right direction, things should go very smoothly, just like swimming downstream.

You are more organized than usual now, and your business affairs are likely to run smoothly. If you are willing to work hard now, you can establish solid foundations in your life upon which to build for your future. Although things work out better than usual now, this is not merely a run of luck; you've worked for everything you will get. With your healthy mix of optimism and caution, you can accomplish a great deal.

This is an excellent time for career advancement, especially in areas related to politics, law, science, education, religion, travel or business administration. Supervisors and authority figures who are in a position to help you will do so now. They can see that you are a worthwhile investment and realize that they too will benefit from becoming your allies. Since you are willing to compromise and cooperate now, you can team up with others and accomplish a great deal more than you could on your own.

It is easy for you to plan for the future now because you have a clear vision of where you want to go in life. But you also have patience and a willingness to work steadily toward your goals. You are practical enough to see that achieving them will take time and don't expect to reach the top tomorrow. Now is a good time to make long-range plans and to organize your life accordingly. It would also be wise to utilize this fortuitous combination of good luck (Jupiter) and practicality (Saturn) by putting some money aside or investing in a carefully considered project.

During this time you may receive valuable counsel from persons who are much older than you. The more you can humble yourself and respect their wisdom, the more you will grow through your association with such teachers.

During this once-in-a-lifetime transit you'll begin to lose confidence in your long-held goals in life. They may seem somehow empty and meaningless, or perhaps you've lost faith in your ability to reach them. Others may recognize that you are confused and disoriented, and they may try to take advantage of your vulnerable state. Avoid entering into contracts or making long-term commitments until the effects of this transit have passed and you are more able to aggressively defend your interests.
