On June 17, 2023, Saturn at 7° Pisces goes into retrograde motion.

Saturn, known as the teacher, the disciplinarian, and the task maker works in a much more favourable manner while in its retrograde cycle. It will return to direct motion by November 4, 2023, and it will still be in Pisces.

While direct Saturn can create challenging conditions. It often stagnates growth, makes you work much harder for any rewards, which in many cases does not reflect the work you have put into the project and generally suggests more responsibilities.

Through the retrograde motion Saturn stays in Pisces going as low as 30 minutes Pisces. Pisces is often linked to spirituality and enhanced creative abilities. It also suggests that this is a time for less self-absorption and leans more towards service of some kind. Pisces has great sensitivity, and the psychic realms are often exposed. Intuition can be strong, and dreams can become very significant and easier to correlate into life’s experience.

Saturn works in a minor way with a connection to the energies of Jupiter. It is not as positive and optimistic about advancing with objectives, but it does promote more potential through hard work and efficient and controlled effort. Anything that you might have been trying to achieve may now have greater potential for advancement during Saturn retrograde especially things that deal with business and work or your career. Things that have been held back or put on the back burner now have a greater chance of success.

A clear and more concise understanding of the psychic realms may now be brought forward. There is greater potential for things being reliable and steadfast; and illusion, which is part of Pisces’ energy, may now be lifted long enough for you to get a clear grasp of this realm of existence. You may also be drawn to working for the underdog or working within the framework of hospitals or in seniors’ residence. It is a time of giving, not a time of receiving, although the possibility of compensation of some kind is also present.

Your creativity is enhanced during this time. Acting and music can be fulfilling. You may feel you are now able to let your energies flow and they tend to flow easier. You have until November to get things moving so it is best to begin as soon as possible.

We are having a slight influence by Transiting Pluto moving from Capricorn into the sign of Aquarius (March to mid-June 2023). Pluto moves back into Aquarius in early 2024 only to move back into Capricorn one more final time from September to November 2024. After that Pluto will remain in the sign of Aquarius for approximately 21 years.

Pluto in Capricorn produced times when security and structure went through some dramatic changes. There is still some work to be done and many Astrologers believe that any planet in the final degree of a sign has urgency attached to its energies.

Capricorn deals with business, Government and economic development. It is strongly tied to earth and physical reality matters. Achievement and advancement are its best attributes while turmoil and economic challenges are its worst characteristics. We can expect some turmoil and disruption perhaps on a higher level before things get better and changes take hold during the Pluto in Aquarius timeframe.

When Pluto does finally move into Aquarius on a permanent basis humanitarian concerns may increase and hopefully the governing agencies around the world will come together collectively with solutions for the planet as a whole. It could take 10 years or more to really get things moving in the right direction, but over time it will unfold.

Pluto is about transformation and radical change especially when connected to the energies of Aquarius. Something must end for something new to begin. There are no half measures. Hopefully we move forward in a gentle manner but there will likely be power struggles and rebellions before we begin to see more positive results. Many believe that we are the forerunners of this revolution and evolution taking hold on our planet. We have come at a critical time in man’s evolution and we will need to do our part to move the wave in the appropriate direction. It begins with you and in many cases right at the home and family level.

Things can move in unexpected ways during this time frame as T Uranus will also move into the sign of Gemini permanently in the spring of 2026. Gemini should suit the energies of Uranus. Neptune will also move into Aries on a permanent basis in early 2026. Spirituality will likely be enhanced and a strong push for personal advancement in this area should be in place for many.

It will be exciting to see where humanity decides to take its next step but be ready for change and disruption to what no longer works. Hopefully the leaders of our world will begin to work together rather than create disruption and realize that we are all in this together.

Do your part!

The initiation into this new age now begins.

June 3, 2023, we will be experiencing the Full Moon in the sign of Sagittarius at 13°. It is making a wide trine to T Mars which conjuncts this placement ten days later. On the Full Moon, Mars will be at almost 8° Leo, so out by 5°. The Sagittarius Full Moon is the harvest of what was put into place during the New Moon phase in the same sign some six months ago.

The trine from Mars suggests that an action plan is likely in place or that you can now push forward and see the results of your efforts since the New Moon phase. Mars suggests that more can be done and that although this is a culmination point, you can still push a little further with what is already in place. Mars is the driving agent and allows for further progress but not without effort.

Sagittarius’ energies such as travelling plans, publishing plans, new religious ideals, a new outlook on life from a very positive direction and a feeling that things are going to turn out fine are the focal points. There may be or have been a push for a greater identification with the spiritual side of life. Perhaps more meditation or joining some group with similar interests is in order. Life’s philosophy is going through changes, and you need to adapt.

If the motivation has not been in place for these goals (defined by the house placement of the Full Moon), then the planting of seeds, perhaps a goal to reach your objective or a letting go of things altogether, needs to be revisited. The house position defines areas of life that are involved and if this position of the Full Moon contacts any planet or angle in the natal chart especially by conjunction or opposition then this positioning will be relevant for you.

Have a look at what the natal chart defines and see how this amplifies what is already in place. After the conjunction and opposition then look at the square, trine and sextile. They must be within 3° of the Full Moon’s positioning to have consequence.

T Saturn is currently (May 2023) in the sign of Pisces and remains there until February 15, 2026 when it moves into Aries. During its Piscean stay everyone with their N Venus in the signs Taurus or Capricorn will be experiencing a sextile from T Saturn to their N Venus. The time frame will depend on the degree of Venus in the birth chart.

T Saturn suggests that the time is ripe for learning and for lessons being taught through obstacles to overcome. Something often stands in the way of progress, and we must move through the challenge that Saturn presents. These are valuable lessons as Saturn is the disciplinarian and teaches us through perseverance and life experiences.

Saturn will, however, offer rewards for hard work and if we do not let things slide and work through its lessons, it provides a much richer foundation built to stand the test of time. It teaches us restraint, organization, discipline and patience.

Venus is often about love and affection and can also deal with our finances and our need to be social. Venus also has to do with young woman or women in general (Mars has to do with young men). Venus and Saturn often do not work well together and during hard transits it can suggest the breaking of relationships and hard lessons being taught. Sextiles are not considered hard aspects however. They are aspects of harmony and life moving along in a favourable manner. They suggest that an opportunity is at hand.

Saturn can solidify a relationship that has had its ups and downs and may promote it to move to the next level. Opportunities are at hand for favourable outcomes when love and affection are part of the life experience. This does not necessarily mean that life will flow smoothly as Saturn always suggests hard work and disciplined effort. It does suggest that the potential for an upturn in love or with the finances is possible. Check if your N Venus is aspected in the natal chart to get a clearer picture. The natal chart tells the story and transits open doors.

The Sun moved into Gemini (Mutable, Air, sign) on May 21, 2023.

For information on Sun in Gemini, please read our post from Monday, May 23 at https://holmastrology.com/apps/blog/show/50432312-sun-in-gemini?siteId=126690493&locale=en-US" target="_blank">https://holmastrology.com/apps/blog/show/50432312-sun-in-gemini?siteId=126690493&locale=en-US

Pluto is currently in Aquarius an Air sign although only for a short period of time when it moves back into Capricorn mid-June. Pluto will be making a trine to anyone with an early Sun sign in Gemini of perhaps up to 3°. Pluto is about transformation and change and can be subtle at first but over time (may take up to two years before the change is complete) Pluto will insist on something being let go so that the new can take its place. There are no halfway measures about Pluto and whatever it touches goes through dynamic change and a rebirth on some level. Much will depend on the houses involved in the chart as these determine the areas of life involved.

T Neptune is still in Pisces and will remain in this sign until 2025. Those with their Sun in the later degrees of Gemini will be experiencing the square between the Sun and T Neptune. The square suggests challenges and may blur reality. If this is a relationship, are you seeing it clearly?

Do you have rose colored glasses on when looking at this person?

Placing people on a pedestal is often what Neptune square the Sun can indicate.

Is there a potential that your goals are unattainable?

Ask for advice and/or input from someone that you trust to be honest.

The beauty of a Square is that it is challenging enough to force you into action and you will do your best to alleviate the situation to make things work in a more realistic manner.

Saturn is also in Pisces and is making a square to anyone with their sun in the single digit degrees. Currently, Saturn is at 6° Pisces and will go into its retrograde motion June 17 travelling back to 0° Pisces before it begins its forward motion again on November 4, 2023. Saturn remains in Pisces for about 2 ½ years so it will make a square to all Sun in Gemini at some point over this period.

Saturn is also a challenging planetary influence and often suggests that there will be hurdles to overcome, delays in reaching your objectives, potential shortfalls and often concerns about reaching your objectives. Saturn wants you to work diligently towards your goals, not to make them too lofty and to have a steady approach. Over time you may reach these goals or at least solidify your objectives and create stability.

Happy solar return Gemini.

The Sun moved from Taurus (Fixed, Earth sign) into Gemini (Mutable, Air, sign) on May 21, 2023. Gemini as mentioned is a Mutable, Air sign suggesting that this is a thinking, conversationalist energy. Geminians enjoys learning and are quite adapt with these qualities. Gemini is adaptable, changeable and enjoys anything that involves education. Whether this be reading, schooling, or teaching, Geminians are open to interaction in these areas.

Gemini can adjust and bend with life’s circumstances and enjoys getting others to converse as they have something to say on just about anything. Their knowledge is expandable, and they like to know a little about most anything. This makes them versatile but also quite changeable.

Most Gemini will tire of situations or in some cases people and will move from person to person and situation to situation without reservation. Of course, the whole chart needs to be examined. E.g. someone with their Sun in Gemini and Taurus as their rising sign and perhaps several planets in earth signs, especially Capricorn and Taurus, will be different from someone with strong Gemini characteristics within the natal chart.

Because of their ability and need for stimulation and change, Geminis will know a little about many things but are not experts. They should settle in and home in on one or two subjects to become proficient in these areas.

Gemini individuals need constant stimulation, variety and excitement in life. By associating with people who will assist Gemini with sticking to something specific could be beneficiary. However, no one can force a Gemini to do something they are not interested in doing.

Gemini individuals are friendly, clever and witty people. They truly like most individuals and most people like them.

Happy solar return to our Gemini readers.

Watch for our post on May 24 covering some transits for Sun in Gemini individuals.

A conjunction with the natal DC will always include an opposition to the Ascendant. Conjunctions have to do with intensity and the merging of energies, while oppositions have to do with the influence of others and how it may affect us.

As transiting Saturn moves across your DC (conjuncts the DC) Saturn often suggests challenging conditions linked to a relationship of significance, often the marriage partner, a business associate or someone you may be in business with.

Saturn, the ruler of Capricorn, often has to do with business or can be linked to achievement tied to your occupation, but while in conjunction with your DC there is often a strain on the partnership. This can feel like a testing period or a time when you may feel depressed because of the strain on the relationship. It can cause worry about what the future looks like because of the issues you are now experiencing. It often requires effort to overcome the adversity that Saturn often suggests. Much will depend on other influences affecting life.

Saturn in Aquarius may have something to do with personal freedom and the desire to walk your own road. While Saturn in Pisces may have something to do with seeing the relationship in its true colors and knowing that something must be done. The 7th house often describes your partner or the type of individual that you might be attracted to.

Because of the conjunction to your DC, Saturn is also in opposition to your ASC suggesting that this can be very personal or affect you in personal ways. Others may know what is going on and in some cases the opposition suggests that it is other people causing the challenge. You may have to make personal changes or adapt to the situation but most likely it will not be easy.

If Saturn is well aspected this could speak of a relationship moving into a more solid, structured, and reliable situation. Perhaps the relationship moves to another level, which provides you with a solid foundation. Perhaps you have been single for a long time (Saturn in the 7th often suggests this or it can suggest a relationship with a mature or older individual) and now the relationship looks like it is ready to take the next step.

For further insight and clarification examine the MC as it can signify a marriage or relationship becoming more enhanced and meaningful.

The trine aspect usually indicates easy flow, opportunities, good fortune, and promising conditions. This is what we wait for in life. When Jupiter is part of the profile, the chances for gaining momentum and favourable conditions are heightened. Growth is a big part of what transpires.

Transiting Jupiter moves into Taurus on May 16. Jupiter goes into a retrograde cycle on September 4, 2023 at 15° Taurus and remains retrograde until December 31, 2023. It returns direct at 5°Taurus, so those individuals with their natal Saturn in the earth signs (Capricorn and Virgo) and up to and including about 17° will be experiencing this trine to their natal Saturn. If your natal Saturn is in these degrees, T Jupiter will move across the 5° to 15° once again into the new year making the same trine again.

Saturn, however, does not have the same energies as Jupiter and, in many ways, its energies operate in complete opposite. Saturn has to do with restriction, delays, challenges, and hard work. Although Jupiter promotes growth and expansion and the trine offers easy flow and opportunities, you will likely have to work hard to achieve whatever you plan to set out to do. However, Saturn does promote is stability and structure after the initial groundwork has been done.

If your natal Saturn is in retrograde then these opportunities and growth potentials are easier to maneuver through. A retrograde Saturn can also indicate a missing father influence in some cases. If Saturn applies to this or an individual with a position of authority (manager within your career or the police working within the framework of what this aspect is implying) moving forward with restraint is advised. In other words, do not move forward unprepared or without the necessary information.

Saturn holds back while Jupiter wants to progress so there might be some push and pull when these two energies meet. It should be noted that if you prepare and do not miss any steps working towards a viable solution, the potential is there. You can make this happen if you are prepared to wait a little to see what takes hold and you are building a solid foundation in the process.

Discipline and hard work are part of the process and the houses where N Saturn and T Jupiter are in will provide information as to what areas of life are involved. The natal positioning of Saturn adds to the story. If for example Saturn is well positioned then the energies work in a more smooth manner. If Saturn is challenged, more work and perhaps more duties are implied. More challenges are at hand with a difficult Saturn in the natal chart. The natal chart always tells the story.

When this post is written (May 2023) T Uranus is in Taurus (earth sign), therefore this post applies to those with their natal Jupiter in an earth sign (Virgo, Capricorn). We will not go into the degrees of the current positioning of T Uranus. Check your ephemeris and chart to see when the degrees match for you. The house placements of T Uranus, natal Jupiter and N Uranus as well as the aspects they are receiving from other indicators in the chart will define in part how these energies translate into action for you.

T Uranus is about change and in some cases through revolution, life experience, and upheavals and often comes through in rather dramatic manners often sudden in nature or unexpected. It usually brings us to a place that is more suitable for our evolution and growth potential. Uranus is known as the awakener and can suggest times of sudden change or moving us out of complacency, often giving indicators along the way with little pushes to propel us into action.

Jupiter is about growth and expansion and often indicates potential windfalls or potential shifts that are often favourable, and, in many cases, good things are on the horizon or already taking place. Jupiter is associated with good luck, ease in obtaining benefits and potential. In most cases Jupiter which is considered the greater benefic brings things that we wait for in life although if the general theme has been challenging it can bring an end to these conditions. E.g. if someone has been very ill and there is little or no hope of recovery it can hasten the ending.

The trine aspect moves well with the energies of Jupiter as it promotes opportunities and life falls into place when in tight aspect (the closer to exact the stronger the influence). E.g. T Uranus at 17° Taurus and N Jupiter at 17° Virgo or Capricorn. Trines in transit are what we wait for. They bring us into situations which offer opportunities to advance on some level. Once again, the houses involved will define the areas of life.

In most cases this aspect will reveal itself in unexpected ways and promote advantages and opportunities for growth and good luck. Be sure you take advantage of these energies.

Transiting Saturn entered the sign of Pisces March 7, moving into retrograde in June 2023, again in June of 2024 and completing its final retrograde cycle in Pisces towards the end of November 2024. It enters Aries in May 2025, goes retrograde in September 2025 and eventually stays in Aries by February 2026. Saturn while in retrograde works more favourably than while in its direct motion, so the retrograde cycles are important.

Saturn is all about structure and reliability and wants to focus its energy on things that are real and of substance. While moving through the sign of Pisces (opposite energies of Saturn), Saturn will want to look through the lens of clarity and definition. The mystical and intuitive qualities of Pisces will need to be weighed out and structured in such a way that only facts pass the iron tests of Saturn. There will be no wondering if something is real or imagined as life will go through a period of reflection, reality-focused and questioning if something is viable and concise.

Your spiritual connection may go through a period of testing and its validity will be confronted. You may question if it is practical and real. Your mystical and perhaps your religious beliefs may go through questioning and examination. After and often during the times of retrograde the potential for solidification and structuring takes place. Your ideologies connected with psychic matters may become more reliable and constructed so that there will be far less doubt on facts.

There may be some hurdles and questioning, but you will walk away far more conviction after this period. The truth will be told if any of your planets and angles are part of this (in particular the conjunction).

You will find the answers to anything that has been vague or if you have been uncertain. Use the information learned to make conscious decisions for your next steps in life.

On May 5, 2023 we will experience the effects of a Lunar Eclipse at 14° Scorpio. Transiting Uranus is in opposition to the Moon at 18° Taurus. If you have planets or significant angles within three degrees of this placement either by conjunction or opposition then this Eclipse will influence you. Much depends on the houses involved and other factors in the natal chart.

With Moon in Scorpio there can be very powerful effects on sexual indicators in your chart and what surfaces at this time will bring about change and development which is now required. This can be a romantic relationship that no longer suits your evolution or a relationship that now goes to the next level. You will have to be careful of manipulation either directed towards you or coming from you. This is a very alluring time and seductive energies can be strong.

Scorpio tends to bring things to the surface and with Uranus in opposition this can take place in a sudden or unexpected manner being somewhat out of your hands and often initiated by outside forces. The transformation that takes place can be profound but the forces which may seem beyond your control are aiding and pointing you in a new direction far more suitable at this time.

This can be a time of reflection and in many cases the Eclipses often indicate letting go and starting over. Let go of emotional baggage that no longer suits your evolution. Move either into a new situation or make changes so that “the new” finds its way to you. Part of the evolutionary plan is to promote healing where needed, instigate new avenues of expression and being in a place where the door is open for further growth, although the transformation and eventual change may not be an easy one.

The effect of this Eclipse is often strong during the first month and is often in effect for up to 3 to 4 months. Use this time wisely and do not fear what is unfolding. Sometimes we can’t see the trees for the forest and bringing what needs to surface out of hiding can in turn create a required change.

As Saturn transits through our natal chart, it will eventually reach opposition to our natal Mercury. Saturn takes about 2 ½ years to move from one sign to the next sign and 29 years to make a full cycle returning to its original placement when we were born. Mercury is a neutral planet; it needs something to activate its energies. Transits and Progressions will act as a trigger.

The energies of the opposition between Saturn and Mercury will largely depend on the state of Mercury in your natal chart as well as the placement of natal Saturn. If Mercury is poorly placed, the opposition will be more challenging than if it were placed more comfortably with favourable aspects.

Mercury is the planet of the mind and has to do with our communication techniques, ability to formulate ideas and create concrete action based on our thought process. It also has to do with our speech and rationalization and can also speak of our reaction to life’s events.

Saturn has to do with the building process when linked with Mercury and how we view our objectives and what we might think our processing might reveal. Saturn often indicates hard work and disciplined effort. We must work towards finalizing our ideas when we are dealing with Saturn and Mercury. Saturn can make us worry about outcomes, fear mistakes or making the wrong decisions and usually requires some degree of concentration and deliberation before we move ahead. This can be a good thing or a difficult situation depending on how deep this thought process runs. The houses involved will define the areas of life involved.

Saturn can also produce concrete results with viable solutions and can build slowly towards solutions built to last. Oppositions are considered challenging aspects and often includes other people. People may be opposed to your decisions or think that you might be making the wrong choices moving ahead. There may be some obstacles in the way and it may take longer to achieve what you are setting out to do because of others’ influences or because of the slow moving progress which is often indicated by Saturn’s influence.

Your goal should be to clear your mind of obstacles/influences that hinder your decision making and also to listen to what others might have to say. After careful consideration push yourself forward towards your objectives ensuring it is the right way to go.

Trines (120°) are considered favourable aspects with easy flow and often suggest opportunities, good luck and favourable conditions. The Trine from Saturn to Venus is favourable but not without obstacles or challenges along the way. This trine often entails hard work, trying conditions but also a firm foundation and lasting potential after the aspect energies have passed.

Venus is often associated with love and affection and in general offers a warmth that surrounds the life experience indicated by the houses involved. Saturn will make you work for your results, jumping through hoops to reach your objectives. Falling in love is not an objective but under these conditions it does not come easily. There will be some challenges. Perhaps the love connection involves other people like an estranged spouse that won’t let go. Perhaps children are part of this love affair and working to make things right may be somewhat challenging. Something hinders progress and it may not be easy but over time should prove to be fortunate as you learn to work with the energies. Solidification is part of the process.

Sometimes Venus has to do with finances and security. Perhaps there are worries whether there will be sufficient income for the relationship. Venus may speak about purchasing a home, nice furnishings or an automobile. One thing that should be considered under this aspect is whether or not Saturn is in its retrograde cycle or moving direct. During its retrograde cycle its influences are much softer and promises easier passage moving through life events.

One thing is almost certain (we say almost as the whole chart must be considered) Saturn with the right efforts can produce very solid results and lasting potential. By putting the right foot forward and working diligently towards a valuable outcome with commitments, you can do well over time but patience is a pre-requisite.

On April 20, 2023, the Sun moved into Taurus. Please read our post from April 17 to read about Taurus and its traits. 

Transiting Mercury has been in the sign of Taurus since April 4 then went retrograde April 21 @ 21° but moves direct May 15 at 5°. Mercury remains in Taurus until June 12 when it moves into the sign of Gemini.

Mercury conjunction the Sun in Taurus will activate the thinking process and there will be stages of planning and putting goals into practice for those that apply themselves. The retrograde cycle is the planning phase, and the direct motion is the “doing” stage. The mind will meld with goals and ambitions and will also formulate what action to take that is best suitable for this time. The house position in the Taureans chart will dictate what areas of life are involved and the direct conjunction period will be when the energies are at their strongest.

Jupiter moves into Taurus on May 17 and the North Node and Jupiter will be in direct conjunction at 2-4° from the later stages of May until about June 10ish. Those Taureans with this conjunction will be empowered to move in the direction of life they wish to take. The road ahead often opens during these times. Usually someone of significance comes into life and may aid this.

Jupiter expands and delivers opportunities for growth and good fortune while the North Node deals with your path ahead. Advancement is possible if the Taurean chooses to listen to what Astrology is translating from these aspects.

The solar eclipse on April 20 is in the sign of Aries @ 29°. Planets in the final degree of a sign have a fated quality suggesting that there is an emphasis on getting things done. There is an urgency attached to what needs your attention. This eclipse can have an impact for up to one year if it touches your natal planets or angles within 3°. The conjunction and/or opposition are the strongest indicator of change with a strong impulse to move in personal directions (Aries).

There is a driving force pushing you ahead to make personal changes, to take control of your life and make plans that are far-reaching but personal in nature. New beginnings are at hand. In most cases when something new is on the horizon it indicates that there are endings too so that the door is open as the changes approaches.

Disruption, obstacles, ego challenge and perhaps forceful situations are at hand due to the square from Transiting Pluto. Pluto’s influence enhances the fact that something must come to an end. There will be no half measures with how this unfolds. It will be complete and decisive and we may be forced to go with the flow rather than fight the process.

Action is likely a requirement but not quick decisions. You need to weigh things out before jumping. Jumping without proper insight is not suggested although the urge will be strong. Take your time; think things out. However, you should be assertive and take charge of the situation.

This is about your needs although it may affect others, but over aggression is not a good idea. Others may get hurt as may you. Over assertion is not the route to take. Violence of any kind is not suggested although this aspect is about self-empowerment and independence. It requires bravery on some level. Perhaps you know that the change must come but are afraid of where it might lead you. Watch for strong thrusts in an overaggressive manner.

Seek out compassionate ways. Think of others and how they might respond but know that this is about your needs and that this is not due to egotistical requirements. You are the master of your destiny. Ride the wave of change and know that it may take some time to be comfortable again, but change is a requirement.

On April 20, 2023 the Sun moves out of Aries a Cardinal Fire sign into Taurus a Fixed, Earth sign. If you were to follow the sequence of Aries to Taurus the movement would be from pushing ahead in your endeavors with drive and ambition to stabilizing your advances and reaching towards more structure and steadying the achievements so they have lasting ability. You are now fortifying your previous objectives with a lasting foundation through a much more steady approach.

Taurus, one of the fixed modalities (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius) seeks to stabilize and secure what it is building. Taureans are the ones who think about the future and make plans to safeguard the future with a lasting foundation. They seek stability and work hard to create security which can enable them to work their way through adversity and hard situations. Taureans are the builders of the Zodiac.

Those with strong Taurus influence in their birth chart (Sun in Taurus, planets in Taurus, links from the angles in the sign of Taurus or several planets in the second house) are hardworking, often the silent type and are known to be quite sensuous. Taurus loves beauty and often surround themselves with luxurious automobiles, beautiful clothing, furniture, and lavish surroundings. If they are not lucky enough to have these things in life, they often dream of them. They also enjoy the security of financial stability and many begin saving for their retirement when the rest of us are only thinking about it.

Because T Neptune is in the late degrees of Pisces, this trine will apply to anyone with their Natal Saturn in Scorpio or Cancer. If your N Saturn is in the early degrees of Leo or Sagittarius when Neptune enters into Aries, this trine will also apply to you. Neptune remains in Pisces for about 2 more years (this post was written April, 2023).

Saturn always implies a reality check, as it deals primarily with earthly focuses such as business and always suggests that a diligent effort and a steady approach offers the best outcome. Saturn is about reliability and its goals solidify as time passes if we do the work necessary. You can’t miss any steps and you must apply yourself to the best of your ability.

When we speak of Neptune it involves that which is unseen or our creative endeavors. Neptune is often linked with spirituality, enlightenment and service on some level that offers opportunities for engagement into something greater than self. Objectives tied to seeing things as they are (encouraged by Saturn) suggest that this is a time for opportunities to know what works and seeing things as they truly are especially in connection with the psychic realm.

Saturn and Neptune run on opposite energies but together can suggest that a steadiness is added to goals and aspirations. They may also suggest that creative endeavors produce viable results. Neptune is at home in Pisces and if we carry this into Neptune in Aries we can pursue our objectives on a personal level and enhance our lives with insight and intuitive feedback.

This can be a time to move ahead with our creative endeavors and enhance our objectivity in a realistic manner. We can view clearly when it comes to spirituality with sound perceptions.

Transiting Pluto squaring your natal Ascendant can be quite challenging. It forces you to question the way you represent yourself to the public. “Do you need to make changes“, is not the question. “You must make changes or life will make those changes for you” is the statement. This is a direction or a turning point. There are no half measures when it comes to Pluto’s energies.

Pluto may also make ties to your MC and IC, perhaps conjuncting one of them. This suggests that the time has come or will come or has already passed when you will make significant changes to your path in life, your career choices, your goals and aspirations and perhaps your relationships. It may also have an impact on the home and family. You may move or do major renovations. Family and the home could be changed. Much will depend on these angles and their signs and degrees.

Square aspects force you into action and cause great disruption. They are impactful and create changes that perhaps you may not have been prepared for. Often due to the lengthy time that this square will be present in a chart, you may have had inclinations that major changes were on the horizon. Much will depend on how well you are in tune to Pluto’s energies. Some feel its energies 3-5° approaching and until about 2° past direct when the energies are dissipating. It usually takes a couple of years to understand what has unfolded and for life to settle into its new direction.

The beauty is that the square’s energies are challenging enough that we are forced into action because we want resolution due to discomfort. You may feel you are at the mercy of life with little control and other times you will know exactly what to do. There will likely be outside responses to what is unfolding because when the Ascendant is involved, things are out in the open. People will see what is transpiring and may also have an impact on what is taking place.

This will likely be a challenging time when the aspect becomes direct. However, it is important to realize that change, although disruptive, is what is needed. The time is ripe for it. You may not feel ready, or you may be afraid of what this change will look like but know that it will take you where you need to go. Over time you will appreciate your new situation.

In general when Pluto is transiting an angle or planet, transformations and regeneration often take place specific to the energies of the planet or houses involved. This can be forceful as there are usually no halfway measures when it comes to the energies of Pluto. When Pluto is involved it usually signals that an ending is approaching and something new is in the making. In many cases fighting the process can be quite futile and it is best to allow change to whatever no longer suits your evolutionary process.

This can be related to your occupation, (MC/6th house), your home environment (4th house), finances (2nd house and 8th if joint matters are concerned), partnership business and relationships (7th, 5th houses), etc.

Pluto can be rather dramatic and quite forceful causing ego disputes and in some cases violent action. Its objective is to place you in a situation where you can get to where you need to go.

Mars is all about action, taking the initiative and moving ahead with your objectives. Mars and Pluto do not make great companions as their energies are similar. Scorpio is ruled by Pluto and its secondary ruler is Mars. Aries is ruled by Mars. However, when T Pluto makes a sextile to N Mars the energies can interlink and action is often indicated in a positive manner.

Opportunities are often a bi-product of this combination as sextiles imply growth, prospects and potential breaks that do not often reveal themselves. In many cases there are opportunities when it comes to sextiles aspects. It is always suggested that we take advantage of the energies in place and use them to our advantage. Sometimes things just seem to fall into place especially if the elements work well together (eg. fire and air although air can exhaust fire).

It is still likely that there may be some hurdles to overcome as at times we will need to fight for what we are trying to achieve. If there are other indicators in the chart that can cause some disruption then adversaries may be part of the picture especially if oppositions are part of the energies. The whole chart always needs to be studied to get the full potential of what lies in place.

The sex drive is also quite often enhanced during aspects with Mars and Pluto.

Astrology can pinpoint when to move ahead with matters and when to hold back. Timing is critical.

On April 6, 2023, @ 12:34 am EDT we will enjoy the energies of a Full Moon @ 16° Libra. Any individual with planets or angles within 3° either in conjunction, opposition and to a lesser degree square, trine and sextile to this placement will be touched by these energies.

During the Full Moon we reap what we sow. The seeds for this Full Moon were sown 6 months ago during the Libra New Moon. If we worked hard to nurture these seeds we will now reap the rewards.

Because the Full Moon is in Libra this may focus on important relationships. The desire for love and affection now runs high. This is not just for what our needs might be; it is also focused on what other may need. We may even put other people’s needs ahead of our own. For those with a strong emphasis in Aries this might be what is needed. For those with a strong Libra influence they may want to consider their own needs too. Balance is what is required currently.

Harmony and fairness are important factors. Too much emphasis on other peoples’ needs might sway matters at hand. Justice is important. Perhaps you need to be the judge on which way the pendulum swings under this influence.

Much will depend on the houses involved and the planets that are being affected as these relate to the areas of life being affected. Oppositions often include other people but in many cases they tend to rule what unfolds and may impose upon you. Conjunctions blend the energies of the planets involved and often suggest an intense period, reconciliation, alignment or perhaps making changes or starting over. Again, much depends on the planets involved, the angles affected and the natal potential in the birth chart. The birth chart tells the story, and this positioning adds to the flavor of the outcome.

Although Astrology points us in the appropriate direction, we make the decisions to act or sit back. Make this a memorable time in life by moving in the appropriate direction that most suits the moment.

All the best with the energies of this Libra Full Moon.
