Saturn (the planet of restriction) and Pluto, known as the God of the Underworld, and the harbinger of change and transformation, are square, and opposing the Venus (square-90 degrees/represents obstacles, an opposition/180 degrees represents change and opposition from other parties) in America’s chart at 3 degrees of Cancer. Venus, rules beauty and the female sex, along with money and values.

Saturn entered Libra, the natural ruler of the seventh house of the zodiac, associated with marriage and partnerships on October 30, and with the exception of a brief, 4 month return to Virgo in April, 2010, it will remain there until October of 2012. Libra is ruled by Venus, and Saturn’s transit through Libra will bring restrictions to all things of a Venusian nature. This includes the female sex, marriage, relationships, money, art, and beauty, which would include cosmetic surgery.

Are American Women Being Screwed?
As the US Congress continues debate over changes in health care, a study was released within the past month recommending fewer mammograms and pap smears as well as beginning these types of cancer screenings at a later age. Not everyone agrees with these findings, including many in the medical community. The recommendations represent a major shift in screening for breast cancer, and The American Cancer Society, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, the Susan G. Komen Foundation, and the American College of Radiology Breast Imaging Commission have all published statements on their web sites disagreeing with the new guidelines, and recommending that physicians and insurance companies continue to provide biennial mammograms for women between 40 and 49 and annual mammograms thereafter.

Furthermore, a 10 % tax is being discussed that would be placed on all plastic surgery deemed not necessary for medical reasons.

According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, 86 per cent of all plastic surgery is preformed on women, of which 60 % earn a household income of between $30-90,000. Most women and working women agree that there is societal pressure to maintain a youthful and attractive appearance, and few would disagree that age discrimination in the job place exists, particularly toward women.

The question that should be asked is, ‘Are women actually the target of cuts and taxes in proposed Health Care Reform?’

Astrologically, the answer is Yes, unless radical changes occur, and women step up to the plate and prevent the powers that be from targeting these and other medical procedures.

This observation is based on the fact that Saturn is currently squaring Venus (at 3 degrees of Cancer) in America’s chart, and will continue to do so through early winter of 2010. Pluto, the planet of transformation and change is opposing the Venus in America’s chart throughout much of 2010, and will become exact on December 23, 2009-January 20, 2010, and again later in the year. These two planets represent a restrictive, force/clash that will effect women in America in a potentially adverse way.

The same transiting planets also tell us what the state of the economy will be in 2010 and that will be the subject of future newsletters.

In addition to the Saturn/Pluto/Venus energy that is occurring, Jupiter and Neptune will hook up in the form of a conjunction becoming exact on December 21. This represents infectious diseases, but it also represents illusion, confusion and lies and deception around the medical and drug industries. The combination of Jupiter and Neptune in Aquarius may represent something that appears to be of interest in a way that would relate to a type of ‘world-view’ but the combination does not necessarily lend itself to the truth. What appears to be positive, will likely indeed turn out to be untrue.

Next year, Neptune, the planet of illusion, delusion and confusion, will conjunct America’s Moon (representing women) and I call this transit, ‘asleep at the wheel.’  If there was ever a time for women to take a proactive approach to their healthcare, the time is now.

This month’s full moon occurs on Saturday, January 30, 2010 at 1;18 AM, EST at 10 degrees of Leo. Leo is the natural ruler of the fifth house of children, friends and love affairs, so it is within these areas in a general sense, we will experience much of the full moon energy. Leo is the sign of the showman (or woman) and the energy is dramatic and intense. It is time to experience the child within yourself! Just don’t resort to childish actions or manipulations, and be aware that you could experience these types of behavior from others’ around you during the peak hours of this full moon.

Full moon energy starts to occur days before the full moon becomes exact, and most astrologers use 3-4 days before and after in terms of timing for the events that will play out. On Wednesday, January 27, as we are coming into the full moon, Venus, the planet of love and money will oppose Mars at at 11 degrees of Aquarius.

This transit will involve shifts in the financial markets, and men and women may have opposing viewpoints. As a matter of fact, it may represent a clash between the two sexes. And speaking of sex, sexual energies may be heightened, but the energy is purely sexual in nature, as opposed to warm and loving. The attraction may be there, but it is up to you which way to direct the energy, and misunderstandings can occur on a number of fronts, especially in the realms of love and money.

Thursday, January 28, the Sun opposes Mars, creating an atmosphere prone to agitation, ego’s out of control, and the potential for accidents, even violence on the world stage. Mars can make you feel that it is important to express your feelings, especially angry feelings. The best way that I have found to deal with Mars is to let the energy pass; let a few hours or days go by and see how the difference of a day changes things. Usually the urge to express yourself at all costs changes, and the things that seemed important to say, often are not– given 24 hours. No matter how you cut the pie, this volatile Mars energy is coming in on top of the full moon creating tension and agitation that must be acknowledged one way or another.

As the full moon is at 10 degrees of Leo, it is within 1 degree of being conjunct Mars at 9 degrees of Leo. This is a super-charged full moon with a lot of energy that must be used constructively in some way, as emotions and feelings will be running at an all time high. It has the potential, if the energy is not used constructively, of turning volatile and we will see this energy play out one way or another on the news.

Of course the most important transit that is occurring along with this full moon is the Saturn-Pluto square that is exact through the first 9 days of February,and remains within orb throughout this winter. This transit doesn’t need anything more to set it off, but that is precisely what a full moon will do. Fortunately the full moon in Leo isn’t squaring or opposing this configuration, but it will add a great deal more energy to it, nevertheless.

Saturn squaring Pluto creates situations involving a great deal of frustration in the business world, as well as relationships of all types. It creates delays and points out what our limitations are. I refer to it as a ‘ruthless force, as the energy of Saturn and Pluto create an inability to move forward. it is dangerous and volatile and the world will be a better place when this square passes.

The energy will start to diminish and lighten up some after the first 9 days of February. But, the energy of this transit isn’t gone until it’s gone. The combination is so volatile individually and in the world, the last time we had a hard transit between Saturn and Pluto was in the days preceding 9-11.So, be careful, don’t get too carried away with anything and use the energy to it’s fullest potential.

The highest and best possible use of full moon energy in Leo is to discover the inner child within yourself and finding out what that little voice inside really seeks. In terms of activities, we can all use a little more fun these days, and the fifth house represents children, social activities, restaurants, wherever you go for fun! Good Luck!

“Because of the Saturn – Pluto square that will be in orb through February, this winter will prove to be a time of slow and deliberate growth. Frustrating events and delays will abound, and basically we will be in a traffic jam until the spring. You have two choices when stuck on the L.I.E.: get upset and blow your horn, or listen to Mozart and enjoy the scenery.

Saturn retrogrades January 13th and heads back to the completion of the square to Pluto. Until Saturn goes direct at the end of May we can expect delays in many business projects. Saturn rules the banking industry, and Virgo is the sign of the auditor. When Saturn entered Virgo in September 2007 the banks were audited, and we discovered that they were standing on quicksand. As Saturn reenters Virgo there will be another auditing of the industry. Many more banks will fail this coming year. Estimates from Wall Street put the number somewhere in the 300 – 500 range. And with Saturn back in Virgo from April 8th – July 22nd 2010 we are going to see just how secure the business really is.

As with all aspects the Saturn – Pluto square works both ways. Saturn, planet of restrictions and constraint, will limit the growth of Pluto, ruler of trading markets. I expect the stocks to go sideways or moderately down for a while. I doubt we will see many big rallies or much more growth this winter. And Pluto, ruler of vengeance, hidden agendas and rejuvenation, will bring to light what is still being concealed by Saturn. Because this is a square, it will not be an easy revelation. Our banking system is shaky, and our currency is under attack. As we approach the “Great t-square” of July 2010 we may find our nation in a fight of domination, primarily with the Chinese. The coming months will be difficult and frustrating. Delays will abound and power struggles will go through the roof. Nothing will be easily decided, and things that should be more readily worked through will become bogged down in semantics and individual agendas. Can everyone say “Copenhagen?”

Jupiter conjuncts Neptune for the final time on Monday December 23rd. It will conjunct Uranus, a much different energy, this coming summer. This conjunction between Jupiter and Neptune has had a very large effect on our society. It is responsible for the current debates on healthcare reform; it is responsible for the outbreak and subsequent panic about the H1N1, or Swine Flu. It is also very much the underlying cause of a 50% increase in the stock markets since the bottom last year. It is completing for the last time, and many of these issues are coming to a head. Once this final conjunct completes a more realistic attitude will set in. Then we will see where things really are.

And the class war continues.”

With astrology we can analyze the birth chart and determine certain personality traits and characteristics of any individual, as well as the life path they will take. Certain transits in the birth chart, and at times, transiting planets, will determine the answer to the question, “Will He/She Cheat.”

While transits may determine the probability of a cheater, it is important to remember that while a person may have the transits to be a cheater, all individuals have control over their own brain and actions. Sometimes, these tendencies are curbed by conditioning, religious beliefs and maturity.

Having the transits of a cheater doesn’t mean you have to fulfill that role. But, in all probability, in this day and age, chances are strong that if an individual was born with ‘cheating’ transits they will cheat. Sometimes, events (transits) occur that cause a cheater to change their ways, and sometimes these events never occur and the person never changes. That is usually the case. Sometimes, an individual who is not ‘born to cheat,’ gets caught up in situations and makes a decision to stray from an established relationship. This is astrologically speaking, a horse of another color than a ‘born cheater.’

To know if your significant other/interest is a ‘born cheater,’ the transits in the birth chart must be carefully analyzed. There is no single transit for a cheater, there are probably millions. There are no simple generalizations. Often, cheaters are born with planets that represent divorce. This is usually represented by some type of hard aspect between Uranus, and Venus, or Mars and Venus. But, every divorced person is not a cheater. And, at times they are the victims of cheaters.

Cheating birth charts almost always contain a hard Neptune aspect. Neptune is the planet of illusion, delusion and confusion, and well as secrets and lies. A person with prominent Neptune aspects in their chart can soar to the highest of highs, touching the divine or they can sink to the lowest depths of human depravity. Sometimes, in a life time they do both.

Neptune represents both the preacher, the spiritual guru, and the drug addict and the prostitute. It’s a complex planet. But, it’s often there when cheating is involved. Neptune can create a cheater sometimes when it’s touching Venus, Mars or Mercury, especially from the seventh house of marriage. But, this is a generalization again, and this transit alone does not guarantee a cheater, and Neptune in the seventh house can also represent a person who is going to be cheated on. Another possibility of a cheater is someone who has a lot of Gemini or Sagittarius in their chart and likes to keep things interesting.

These individuals are often not satisfied with just one partner and like to experiment and have a distaste for that which becomes mundane. But again, having multiple planets in these signs alone does not guarantee multiple partners. Mars or Pluto in the eighth house is another sign of a person who loves sex.

These people are usually more interested in the erotic side of life than most. This depends upon many factors including what aspects Mars or Pluto in the eighth house is making. Society began to change in the late fifties/early sixties, and a generation was born with Neptune is Scorpio (1957-1970). These individuals in particular, are sometimes unclear about sexual boundaries.

Again, this is a generalization, and if you were born during these years it is absolutely no guarantee you will cheat! But, Scorpio is the natural ruler of the eighth house of shared/joint finances, change and transformation and sex. Sex often has a great fascination for these individuals and some will experience vague and uncertain states connected to emotional and sexual involvement with others. Sometimes it exerts a magnetic influence, although the real thing often does not meet expectations.

So, while there are a million fourteen transits that will help identify a cheater, the entire chart must come under scrutiny before making that accessment. And it all really comes down to what we want as individuals and what price they we willing to pay for it.

Since the dawn of time mankind has tried to understand how the stars and planets influence their lives. From earliest civilizations, including Stonehenge, New Grange as well as the pyramids of Egypt and the Yucatan, man has used the position of the stars and planets as a calendar as well as a way to explain events of their lives – economic hardship, crops, changing seasons, wars and omens. The result is a combination of science and religion, which has become Astrology. Astrology comes from the Greek term “science of the stars” and embodies the art and science of studying the heavens, the motion of the planets and the stars to determine how they influence human personality and behavior.

People have been seeking astrologers for thousands of years to receive predictions for future events delivered through an astrology reading. An astrology reading can help you see how the planets have affected your life from the day you were born. When you get an astrology reading, the astrologer will need to cast your birth, or natal, chart. This chart, or road map of where the planets were on the day you were born, is the cornerstone of your individual astrology reading and the foundation the astrologer will use to predict what you can expect in the months to come. Your birth chart shows where all the planets were on the day you were born and what influences will be affecting your personality, character and traits based upon those influences. During an astrology reading you will learn how the planets have influenced the development of your personality and character. An astrology reading can be used to help you better understand yourself. During your astrology reading you will also be able to understand why you do the things you do, why you like certain types of music, furniture or clothing, where the best place to live is and your best career choices. In other words, the astrology reading, will show you why you are the way you are.

Astrology readings can be done to illuminate what is happening in your life and what you should be prepared for in the coming months. This is called a predictive astrology reading. During a predictive astrology reading, your astrologer could tell you things such as when you will be changing your residence, when you will start a new job, when you will be facing major financial or health issues, when you might get married or when a new romantic partner could be entering your life. As opposed to a tarot or psychic reading, an astrology reading can provide a more concise timeline for specific events based upon how the planets will either support or be unsupportive of any changes you want to make in your life. An astrology reading will show us what we need to be aware of, watch out for and prepare for. An astrology reading will allow us to prepare for challenges that are coming toward us so that we are not blind sighted by a catastrophic event. An astrology reading gives us a brief snap shot of what is to come and when.

A predictive astrology reading will also be able to tell you what transits you can expect for the next 6 – 12 months. During an astrology reading your astrologer will tell you which planets will be helping you along your journey as well as which planets could be restrictive. This does not mean that your astrology reading is bringing bad news. It does imply, however, that you have specific challenges occurring for the duration of these transits as the planets hang out in specific areas of your chart. These can be great opportunities for spiritual growth because sometimes these challenges can be quite difficult. During your astrology reading, your astrologer will tell you when the difficult aspects will come to an end.

There are many sites, as well as astrologer’s personal sites, who offer predictive astrology readings. Some people prefer astrology readings over tarot or psychic readings believing that astrology readings have a stronger scientific foundation. In some regards this is true. Astrology is a very complex and technical science. Some astrologers describe themselves as scientists, and even though they provide astrology readings, they sometimes do it without using intuition. There are some astrologers, however, who use intuition during their astrology reading sessions. Additionally, some psychic and tarot readers, will add astrology to their reading as a way of providing more detailed information as well as time lines.  The type of astrology reading a person gets really depends on personal preference.

Some sites offer free astrology readings, which will produce a computer generated birth chart for you, after you supply the birth date, time and location. It is important for your birth chart that you know the birth date, time AND location to provide the most precise astrology reading. Without all 3 elements the astrology reading will be incomplete. Your birth date is used to determine your Sun Sign. Your birth time is used to determine your rising sign, or ascendant. Additionally, your moon sign is also calculated. The combination of these elements, and the location of the other planets at the time of your birth are all key to providing the best and most precise astrology reading.

Individual astrology readings are much more complete and informative than the daily horoscopes you can read online or in the paper. The world horoscope comes from the Greek words ”hora” meaning hour and “skopos” meaning watcher. It charts the positions of the Sun, Moon and planets in relationship to the earth. Daily horoscope readings and free horoscope readings are available on many websites, newspapers and magazines. They are very general, usually giving only 3-4 lines of text and nowhere near as detailed as a personal astrology reading, which is based on you and only you.

In addition to personal astrology readings, many astrologers offer relationship compatibility readings. During a relationship astrology reading, the astrologer will prepare a birth chart for both parties in the relationship to determine if the two people are a good match based on their astrological aspects. Sometimes it is a great experience to have a relationship astrology reading done to see if you and your partner are truly compatible and what challenges you might be presented with. During a relationship astrology reading, the astrologer will compare where each parties Sun and Moon lie within the charts because that determines what type of man or woman you will be attracted to. Also during your reading, the astrologer will check the positions of Venus and Mars to determine the sexual and physical chemistry between yourself and your partner.

Western astrology focuses the 12 signs of the zodiac to define specific dates relevant to each sign in doing an astrology reading. For the most part, this type of astrology reading will largely be focused on your sun sign. In addition to Western astrology readings, the one that most readers are familiar with, there is also Vedic astrology readings. Vedic astrology is a 7000 year old predictive astrology system from India. They use the same Sun sign names, but the timing of the signs occur on different dates than traditional western astrology. If you are interested in checking out a Vedic astrology reading, you might consider searching Google for “Vedic astrology reading”.

Almost every civilization has used astrology to understand and predict specific events such as crop yields, weather patterns, economic forecasts and eclipses. It is a system that has been around for as long as civilization itself and will continue to be as long as we are curious how and when certain events will unfold in our lives. An astrology reading will give you a blueprint for what you can expect in the coming months so you are prepared to handle whatever life, or the planets, is throwing at you.

The Circle of Goddesses are currently not offering astrology readings but can make a recommendation if this is the route you wish to take. Through their psychic and tarot readings, the psychics from the Circle of Goddesses are able to give you insight in love, romance, relationships, career and finance or spiritual growth.
