Hold on to your hats!

Astrology Forecast for

September 1 through 15, 2012

 

Set your sails and hold on to your hats.  This two-week period has lots of active planetary influences. 

 

 

        I love this poem because it explains how I believe we should use the planetary forecasts.  It is helpful to know which way the astrological wind is blowing and how hard it is blowing, so we can use the wind to help us get where we want to go.  So here, once again, is the poem.     

 

One ship sails East,
And another West,
By the self-same winds that blow,
'Tis the set of the sails
And not the gales,
That tells the way we go.

 

Ella Wheeler Wilcox

 

 

       

        Major transformations February 27, 2012 through June 13, 2015.

Uranus and Pluto are so far from the Sun that they take a long time to go around the Sun and through the signs of the zodiac.  When they form angles with other outer planets, those aspects are in effect for a long time.  Uranus squares Pluto (is about 90 degrees from) for more than three years, forming an underlying background for the other planetary aspects. 

We will not notice their effect every day of this period, but we will notice major changes that can be attributable to these planets.  Uranus brings the unpredictable, the unusual and the eccentric.  It is a very freedom-loving planet and it can be rebellious and strong-willed.  Pluto is explosive, powerful and eliminates what is no longer needed.   Uranus is in Aries, a strong and independent sign, and Pluto is in Capricorn, which rules structures, laws and governments. 

During this three-year period, we will see upheavals, struggles, revolutions, rebellions, unusual weather patterns and abrupt earth changes—volcanoes and earthquakes. 

 

Great for artistic, musical and creative pursuits August 16 through September 4, 2012.

        Mars trining (is about 120 degrees from) Neptune indicates this is a wonderful time for starting or enjoying anything artistic, musical or creative, either participating yourself or watching others. 

 

        Listen to your intuition August 16 through November 28, 2012.

        Saturn trining (is about 120 degrees from) Neptune makes this a great time for having your intuition and psychic abilities be useful for you.  Pay attention to what your instincts are telling you. 

 

        Great time to eliminate what is not for your highest good and be passionate about changing your life August 23 through September 5, 2012.

        The Sun trining (is about 120 degrees from) Pluto during this time, making it terrific to get rid of what no longer serves you and throw yourself into creating the life you want.  You have lots of energy and persistence to reach your goals. 

 

        Guard against negative thinking August 28 through September 8, 2012.

        With pessimistic Saturn squaring (is about 90 degrees from) Venus during this time, we need to watch what we are thinking and telling ourselves and others.  Don’t give in to seeing situations in a more negative light than necessary or having poverty consciousness. 

       

        Watch out for deception August 29 through September 4, 2012. 

        Neptune opposing Mercury means that we need to be careful we are not deceived by others or by ourselves, that we are understood and understand others and that we are careful while traveling.

 

        Guard against being overly optimistic and foolhardy August 31 through September 13, 2012.

        The Sun squares (is about 90 degrees from) Jupiter now, bringing a tendency for us to take risks and engage in excessive behavior.  

 

        Good for accessing situations quickly September 1 through September 7, 2012.

            With Mercury, the planet of the mind, trining (is about 120 degrees from) Pluto, you are able to understand people and situations quickly, through being rational as well as using your intuition.  This is a good time for focused study and getting work done efficiently.

 

        Good for communication and intellectual pursuits September 1 through 16, 2012. 

        The Sun and Mercury are close to each other in the sky during this period, making it a good time to communicate clearly and use our minds.  We may like to communicate our ideas but also need to be interested in listening to others. 

 

        Prioritize September 6 through 12, 2012.

        With Mercury squaring (is about 90 degrees from) Jupiter, we can have so many ideas running through our heads and have so many things we need to do, we need to take a breath and sit down and sort out what are the most important tasks facing us.  To-do lists work great if we stick to them and don’t get distracted.

 

        Positive changes with love and relationships September 7 through 18, 2012. 

        The planet of love and relationships is in a great trine (is about 120 degrees from) the planet of excitement and change, Uranus.  It’s a great time to be with loved ones and friends and spice up your life by doing what you never thought you would do before. 

 

        Cultivate patience from September 14 through October 12, 2012.

Venus squaring (is about 90 degrees from) Mars can mean we are impatient with others, with ourselves and with our lives in general.  Hey, this time period can help us memorize the Serenity Prayer. 

 

        Good news for education, communication and travel.

        Jupiter is in Gemini where it will remain for several months.  Jupiter is the planet of good fortune.  Gemini is the sign of education, communication, travel, neighbors and siblings.  Jupiter brings the opportunities, but we must do our part.

Frustration, love, drama and more

Astrology Forecast for

August 1 through 15, 2012

The following is like a weather forecast.  As I often say, just because the forecast calls for rain, doesn’t mean you have to get wet.  And just because the forecast says it is a perfect day for a picnic, doesn’t mean that you are going to take advantage of the perfect weather.  It does make sense to take an umbrella if it might rain, and to schedule a picnic for when the forecast says it should be a good day for it.

Foot on gas pedal, foot on brake pedal August 1 through August 28, 2012.

With Mars, the planet of energy and drive, and Saturn, the planet of delay, close to each other in the sky during these days, it can be frustrating.  You want to accomplish things but it feels that something is holding you back and preventing you from getting things done.  If you persist and work hard daily, you can slowly reach your goals.  This planetary aspect can help you be disciplined and focused.  This is a time to focus on one task at a time and not try to multi-task or take on more work if you can avoid it. 

Wonderful for social life and creativity August 2 through August 15, 2012. 

Venus loves being with people, being in love and being surrounded by beauty.  Neptune gives unconditional love and artistic inspiration.  These two planets in trine aspect (about 120 degrees from each other) as they are during this time, can be great for being with people you care about.  Some people will be in the midst of great romantic love, but need to try to keep their feet on the ground.  See the paragraph below about Venus opposite Pluto.    

Use this time to be artistic and creative.  You will love the results. 

Drama, intensity and power struggles likely in close relationships August 8 through August 22, 2012.

Venus opposite Pluto brings intense energy into relationships.  It can also bring up unresolved issues from the past into the present to be healed.  Some relationships could end under the stress.  Do what you can to not add fuel to the fire.  Direct your energies into demanding pursuits.

Both Venus and Pluto have to do with money and possessions.  Many feel stress connected with money issues, especially money issues that have not been dealt with for a long time.  This is not a good time to add to your credit card debt if you can help it.   

Energy, initiative and enthusiasm are all words associated with the planet Mars.

From July 4 through August 1, 2012, Mars trines (is about 120 degrees from) Jupiter, creating a grand opportunity to get objectives accomplished through having lots of energy and enthusiasm. 

        Love, social life, money and possessions are all words associated with the planet Venus. 

        From July 21 through August 7, 2012, Venus trines (is about 120 degrees from) Saturn.  This is a great time for business and other partnerships, organizing social occasions and managing money in a structured way. 

       

        Major transformations February 27, 2012 through June 13, 2015.

Uranus and Pluto are so far from the Sun that they take a long time to go around the Sun and through the signs of the zodiac.  When they form angles with other outer planets, those aspects are in effect for a long time.  Uranus squares Pluto (is about 90 degrees from) for more than three years, forming an underlying background for the other planetary aspects.

        Mercury Retrograde July 14 through August 8, 2012. 

        For information about what this means for you, your communication, your transportation and your machines, go to my website, www.DianneLawson.com and click on the Mercury Retrograde button. 

        Great for communication, studying and travel June 28 through August 3, 2012.

        Mercury trine (about 120 degrees from) Uranus during this time is great for original, interesting and exciting communication (verbal and written), study and travel.  It is especially good for learning about new subjects or going places you have never been to before. 

        Good news for education, communication and travel.

        Jupiter is in Gemini where it will remain for about a year.  Jupiter is the planet of good fortune.  Gemini is the sign of education, communication, travel, neighbors and siblings.  Jupiter brings the opportunities, but we must do our part.

Roller-Coaster Relationships

June 1 through June 15, 2012

Astrology Forecast

        Relationships may feel like a roller coaster with Venus constantly moving in and out of angular aspects with other planets.  Some times are definitely better than others to navigate through relationship waters. 

        If your life doesn’t seem to be going your way now, wait awhile, as planets are moving in and out of patterns with other planets.  Easy and challenging aspects ebb and flow. 

Relationships and finances.

        Venus, the planet of love, money and possessions, is busy this month, moving in and out of important angular positions with other planets.  Some of the angular positions are easy to deal with and positive and some may be challenging.   

        From June 1 through June 4, 2012, Venus and Mercury (the planet of communication) are very close to each other in the sky.  This gives us the ability to be warm and charming in communication and to say the right thing because we take the time to pick our words carefully.

        From June 1 through June 9, 2012, Venus squares (is about 90 degrees from) Mars, making us hypersensitive and straining our close relationships.  We may expect too much and be disappointed.    

        Venus, trines (is about 120 degrees from) Saturn, bringing opportunities for benefits through older people and bosses.  It’s a great time for business and investments because you are willing to do the hard work necessary to have good results.  Relationships turn serious and can be very good for people who are responsible for themselves as well as for others. 

        From time to time, planets appear to go backward through the signs of the zodiac as seen from the earth, based upon our relative positions.  This is called retrogradation.  From May 15 until June 27, 2012 Venus is retrograde.  As Venus corresponds to relationships, money and possessions, this is an excellent time to rethink and redo our relationships with people and start a new way of handling our money and possessions.  We get a second chance to handle love, money and possessions a new and better way.

        Confusion about what to do June 3 through July 17, 2012.

        With Jupiter and Neptune squaring each other, it can be hard to figure out the right thing to do.  It is not a good time to make any major decisions as we may not have all the facts or may be deceived by others. 

Both of these planets correspond to beliefs, especially religious.  Under easy aspects, people can draw closer to God.  Under hard aspects, such as these planets are under now, people can feel confused or be attracted to cults.  Expect to hear about people being involved with religion that is not good for them or for others—religious extremism. 

        Hard work brings results June 1 through 6, 2012.

        Mercury trine (about 120 degrees from) Saturn means it is a good time to work hard.  This aspect brings good concentration and the ability to organize.

Traveling and communicating stressful June 8 through 14, 2012.

Mercury opposite Pluto may indicate blockages in communication and problems in traveling.  I am not saying to totally avoid communicating and traveling, but if you can, you might want to wait for a better time to have important talks and fun trips. 

Major transformations February 27, 2012 through June 13, 2015.

Uranus and Pluto are so far from the Sun that they take a long time to go around the Sun and through the signs of the zodiac.  When they form angles with other outer planets, those aspects are in effect for a long time.  Uranus and Pluto form a square aspect (are about 90 degrees from each other) for more than three years, forming an underlying background for the other planetary aspects.  We will not notice their effect every day of this period, but we will notice major changes that can be attributable to these planets.  Uranus brings the unpredictable, the unusual and the eccentric.  It is a very freedom-loving planet and it can be rebellious and strong-willed.  Pluto is explosive, powerful and eliminates what is no longer needed.   Uranus is in Aries, a strong and independent sign, and Pluto is in Capricorn, which rules structures, laws and governments.  During this three-year period, we will see upheavals, struggles, revolutions, rebellions, unusual weather patterns and abrupt earth changes—volcanoes and earthquakes.

Take care while communicating and traveling May 29 to June 3, 2012.

While Mercury is in a stressful aspect (a 90-degree square) to Mars, take care while speaking, writing and traveling.  Mars is quick, forceful, argumentative, foolhardy and accident-prone.  It is also quick to take offense and be irritable.  Don’t say or write anything while angry.  Calm yourself down first.  I would not cancel any trips under this period, but would be sure I drive under the speed limit and take extra care. 

Good news for the economy and for you.

        Jupiter is in Taurus where it will remain until June 11, 2012.  Long-lasting aspects bring slow results, but over time, hard work and patience can create good outcomes.  Jupiter brings blessings, opportunities, luck and expansion, and Taurus is a financial sign.   Taurus is also slow moving, conservative and patient.  Jupiter enlarges what it touches, so inflation may be part of the picture.  Jupiter in Taurus is a fortunate time for making money if you are prudent and don’t expect to get rich overnight.  I expect that the people who already have big money will continue to make big bonuses.  With Jupiter in this sign, YOU should take advantage of opportunities to enlarge your financial picture.  Do you have the money you want?  If not, what do you need to do to get it?  Are you doing what you need to do?  Do you have multiple sources of income?

Astrology Forecast December 16 to 31, 2011

December 16 to December 31, 2011 Astrology Forecast

Great for artistic pursuits and listening to your intuition October 23, 2011 to April 12, 2012. 

          Saturn is an earthy planet, bringing stability and reliability to whatever it touches.  Saturn trines (is about 120 degrees from) ethereal Neptune, which means it is a great time to work on and finish artistic projects and use your intuition to benefit your life.  Listen to your hunches. 

The Sun in Sagittarius from November 22, 2011 to December 22, 2011 is good for study, long distance trips, exploration and expanding your horizons.

          Sagittarius is a sign that likes to learn and grow, intellectually, physically and spiritually.  It cannot stand doing the same old boring activities over and over; it needs new and exciting pursuits.  It needs freedom and lots of activity, either mental or physical or both. 

Great for communication, study and trips December 14 to 20, 2011.

Mercury trines (is about 120 degrees from) Uranus making for unusual, creative, out-of-the-box communication, study and trips.  This is the time to study new subjects and go places you’ve never been before.    

Feeling lonely, depressed or disappointed December 14 to 22, 2011?

          Venus squares (is about 90 degrees from) Saturn, which can be a time people have negative thoughts or emotions.  Most people know what will get them feeling better, be it drugs, therapy, a walk in the sunshine, lunch with friends, exercise, prayer or chocolate.  You don’t need to feel bad.  Do something about it

Money and emotions can be excessive from December 16 to 24, 2011.

Venus squares (is about 90 degrees from) Jupiter during this period, indicating you have a tendency to overspend, an exaggerated sense of drama and a propensity to be overemotional.  Combined with Venus square Saturn (see entry just above), you could overspend to make yourself feel better and be overly dramatic because your feelings are easily hurt.

  

Get rid of clutter from 4:33 a.m. Central Time December 20, 2011 through 6:02 a.m. Central Time December 22, 2011. 

Many people have been telling me that they have been using the times that the Moon is in Scorpio to get rid of clutter and it helps.  The Moon in Scorpio during these two and a half days and that means it is a good time to get rid of what no longer serves you, from those old coupons in your junk drawer to anyone whose negativity dampens your spirits. 

The sun in Capricorn from December 23, 2011 to January , 2011 is good for working on your career and ambitions. 

Solid hard work, discipline and determination bring good results.  It’s a good time to work on projects that take persistent, prudent and patience.   

Good news for the economy and for you.

          Jupiter is in Taurus where it will remain until June 11, 2012.  Long-lasting aspects bring slow results, but over time, hard work and patience can create good outcomes.  Jupiter brings blessings, opportunities, luck and expansion, and Taurus is a financial sign.   Jupiter enlarges what it touches, so inflation may be part of the picture.  Jupiter in Taurus is a fortunate time for making money.  I expect that the people who already have big money will continue to make big bonuses.  With Jupiter in this sign, YOU should take advantage of opportunities to enlarge your financial picture.  Do you have the money you want?  If not, what do you need to do to get it?  Are you doing what you need to do?  Do you have multiple sources of income?

Disagreements until February 20, 2012

Jupiter continues its long-term opposition to (is about 180 degrees from) Saturn, showing opposition between people who feel optimistic and those who feel fearful.  Oppositions often mean that people see situations in totally opposite ways and find little or nothing to compromise about.  Since this is a long-term aspect, it will be interesting to watch how it plays out in politics in the United States and between countries.  This aspect can bring much contention, difficulty and discord.  As always, we have the choice to respectfully disagree.
