AstroJourney II Report for
Prince William
June 21, 1982 9:03 PM London, England

INTRODUCTION: A FORECAST REPORT FOR YOUNG ADULTS

AstroJourney II is written for adolescents and young adults. The report focuses upon, but is not limited to, 14 to 29 years of age. There are a lot of transit reports out there. Why write one for youth?

Survival is tougher today. Astrology is like a road map. Your road map. Your destiny. Today, more than ever before, we live in a world of choices. Your fate isn't set in stone. From the looks of things, we don't have too much to say about who our parents are, where we're born, how many siblings we get, whether our parents are rich or poor, loving or mean, rigid or liberal. Spiritual astrology teaches that you got the best deal you could get in terms of your karma. Your karma is the picture of your past, your debts and credits from many lifetimes, for better or for worse. Whether you believe in karma or not, you still have to work with what you've got!

CHOICES

The older you get, the more you're going to want to have a say, the more what you say is going to make a difference, and the more you're going to have to account for the consequences. Growing up, separating from your parents, and making it on your own is about making decisions and taking responsibility for your life. This happens in stages. Some stages of maturation are gradual. Others are dramatic. Many things are hard to understand until later in life, when we can look back on our experience with wiser eyes. Your personalized AstroJourney II Report can help you understand what's going on while you're in the middle of it. AstroJourney can help you pinpoint various possibilities to help you make the best choices.

THE FIRST SATURN OPPOSITION

Some challenges we face have to do with stages in life. For example, between the ages of 14 1/2 and 16 everyone lives through the first Saturn opposition. This is usually a tough time, because you may feel quite capable of making it on your own, but somehow you're not ready yet. You're probably still financially dependent on your parents and you need to finish High School. You may need, love, and respect your parents, but chances are you don't totally agree with the way they do things. This is the age when you really start to see things in a different way. This transition is necessary. Everyone goes through it. Your parents went through it. It's usually a time of tension.

YOUR PERSONAL DESTINY

Other happenings in your life have to do with the day and the moment you were born. Some of these cycles last for a couple of hours, others last for as long as 14 years! Going through Uranus conjoined your Sun, which happens only once in a lifetime and can totally turn around your life, is going to be different at 16 or 22 than it would be at age 40 or 80! A transit like Neptune squaring Mercury, which lasts a couple of years, would be confusing at any age in any time. But today the danger of getting wasted with drugs or alcohol or dropping out of school during this sensitive period is going to be more than it was a generation ago. It's also a great time for self-discovery, creativity, getting into music and art, meditation, Tai Chi, exploring spiritual concepts. In writing this report, we want you to know what each transit means for you, at your age, at this time in history

EVERYONE'S LIFE MATTERS

One thing I've discovered by working with thousands of people is that everyone, without exception, no matter how much better off they may appear to be, has tough issues to work out. Some kids are in more deeply than others. Maybe this has to do with your relationships with parents, school issues, jobs or just feeling good about yourself. Sometimes your attention is on your overall health or appearance. During your twenties especially, much change centers around friendships and intimate relationships. In writing each entry we had to cover a lot of ground to speak to many people in different situations, but at the same time hit how a certain influence works for you.

If you're 16 and living at home, stuff about looking for an apartment, buying a car, getting involved in serious relationships and filling out job apps may not be relevant to you yet. But, then again, it might. Many of you are sexually mature, if not necessarily ready. We decided to treat you as older rather than younger. You'll know what relates to you because it fits!

Some are in college, still deciding upon a major. Others go to work straight out of High School. Still others defend our country and the cause of freedom across the world. Some marry early and enter into the responsibility of parenthood. Others have no obligations outside themselves. Everyone's story is unique. Regardless of countless diverse scenarios, somehow (and this is the fun of it) you'll find the transit description makes sense.

CONTRADICTORY INFLUENCES

On some days you'll hit a mixed forecast. For example, transiting Mercury might be Square your Mars, a challenging aspect. Your report warns you that you are vulnerable to getting into arguments or get a ticket for speeding. At the same time Mercury might be trine Jupiter, telling you it's a great time for communication of all sorts and short trips. When you think about it, in a single day, we deal with sometimes contradictory energies. If you put the two together, they'd read, "a great day for short trips as long as you watch your speed; you have a lot to say, but be willing to listen to someone else's point of view. " You can often make the good better by taking note of the precaution, or you can blow a positive possibility by letting your ego be too large.

A SPIRITUAL GENERATION

This report is not religious in any way, but it is spiritual. All of you were born with an astrology that brings you into understanding spiritual dimensions of life not available to previous generations. East has met West with yoga and acupuncture, Tai Chi, and meditation. Even chiropractors were for the alternative crowd when many of your parents brought these and other "New Age" concepts in a generation ago. Today, they're more and more commonplace, just the beginning of what's to come.

You've been brought up with computers in an informational age. Technology and the media are changing our lives so quickly that it's not easy to keep pace. It may be harder to plan for the future when the present moves so fast. Yesterday's model for marriage and close relationships doesn't really work today. In talking about your social and career aspects, we kept these things in mind.

YOU'RE CHANGING THE WORLD

Finally, you are adolescents and young adults at a time in history when major cycles are changing. We've just entered a new Astrological Age -- Aquarius, the age of Love. People have different ideas about what love means but Aquarius is already changing the way we think, work, play, relate. You aree inheritors of a new world, one which many people in many lands believe will be a "Golden Age" preceded by incredible turmoil.

In writing to each of you and all of you, we do so with great respect and understanding, and with hopes that this book of changes will make a positive difference on your journey.

The AstroJourney Report text was written by astrologer Kathie Garcia. Kathie received valuable feedback from her children, Eugene and Indra, who were 17 and 19 years old at the time of the writing.

The author warns that any editing of the text is likely to change the intent and balance of the intended message Therefore, editing is discouraged.

HOW TO USE ASTROJOURNEY II

At the exact moment of your birth, the planets were in certain signs, in a certain relationship to one another. To erect your natal chart, the astrologer takes a picture of that moment, as if the heavens froze! The story of your life is written in the working out of these energies over time. Some are harmonious and others are challenging. Astrologers are able to predict what will happen, when it will happen, and the duration of the effect by evaluating the impact of transits. Transits compare the positions of a planet on a given date with a planet or position in your natal chart.

Using AstroJourney II is easy! In your report you'll read the date on which a transit is exact on the left hand side. This is when its influence is strongest. In parentheses you'll see the full duration of the influence, when it comes into play and when it leaves. On the right hand side, you'll see the description of the transit which includes a transiting planet in aspect to a natal planet. For example : Merc Sxtil Ven means transiting Mercury is sextile natal Venus.

The following paragraph is the interpretation of the influence.

UNDERSTANDING ASPECTS

Aspects are the astrologer's tool to understanding the nature of the relationship between two planets or positions: Sextiles (60 degrees) and Trines (120 degrees) show where energies flow harmoniously. Take advantage of these transits to lighten your load, move forward, get that date, etc. Squares (90 degrees) are the most challenging of all aspects. Conquering a square can be difficult and requires discipline, but the prize is worth the effort. Oppositions (180 degrees) challenge you in your relationships with other people. Sometimes you feel a real positive, even stimulating exchange of energy. Other times we deal with conflicts, confrontations, schisms, or separations. Someone else could be mirroring something about yourself that you need to deal with but don't see. Conjunctions (0 degrees) can go either way and depend much upon the nature of the two planets coming together. Venus and Jupiter form a fun, if potentially lazy, combination while Mars and Pluto can be pretty heavy since they both relate to anger and ego.

PLANETS IN HOUSES

Planets transiting through houses are going to highlight a specific area of your life for the duration of the transit, according to the nature of the planet. AstroJourney II will tell you when a transiting planet enters a particular house in your natal chart. The date on the left tells when the planet enters the house. In parentheses you'll see the duration of the transit. It will start a day earlier than the beginning date. This is when the transiting planet is on the house cusp. On the right hand side you'll see the name of the planet and the house its entering. For example, "Merc 4th H." means "transiting Mercury is entering the 4th house of your natal chart." So, now you've got the pack, enjoy your journey!

Nov 16, 2007 (Oct 5, 2007 to Dec 14, 2007) Plu Conj Asc

None of your old selves may "fit" anymore. You may want to retreat to the Himalayas or some remote tropical island until this blows over! Your shadow self makes an appearance; strange compulsions, needs to control what may not be yours, or a desire to totally withdraw are typical. Good advice may come from enemies and criticism from best friends - a world in reverse! The best way to come through this is to work hard on your communication skills while dodging the bullets! Pluto is the Roto-Rooter of the zodiac. It gets out the garbage. Afterwards you're so much lighter you hardly recognize your old self. Let go of what you don't need. Make room for the new you!

Nov 16, 2007 (Nov 14, 2007 to Apr 1, 2009) Plu 1st H.

Pluto passing through the House of Self: You've entered a powerful cycle of self regeneration. Transformational changes happen as a result of light meeting darkness and being the victor, so when you find yourself facing a major test of character, rise to the challenge! (Why do you think Star Wars is so popular?)

A word of warning; the chance to avoid temptation may exist only for a flash in time. Indulging in a bit of what you know you should avoid is dangerous! (Reread the Adam and Eve tale for confirmation) Enough said!

You shed old snakeskins, a new you appears; the process is intense but empowering. Beware of being overly controlling or intense. If others roll their eyes or back away, that's your clue! Discover the super potency of kindness. Some meet this test not so much within, but by experiencing a major life transforming event. Whatever it is, be courageous, do a daily inventory of self and determine to stay true to your higher principles no matter what.

Nov 29, 2007 (Nov 28, 2007 to Dec 19, 2007) Sun 12th H.

Sun passing through the House of endings: Yesterday's memories create tomorrow's dreams; meditate on things unseen. Vanquish any shadows of fear by wielding the power of faith. Find that within you which is capable of mastering any situation that might come your way.

Dec 5, 2007 (Dec 5, 2007 to Dec 19, 2007) Merc 12th H.

Mercury passing through the House of endings, hidden support, hidden enemies: You're searching behind the curtain, examining the past for answers. Examining the past might be instructive but don't let it bring your down. This is a good time for research, quiet contemplation and meditation.

Dec 7, 2007 (Dec 6, 2007 to Dec 23, 2007) Ven 10th H.

Venus passing through the House of career, reputation and elders: Connections could take you to the top. Perhaps an older person sponsors you. This is a propitious time for any art related career. Know your worth.

Dec 7, 2007 (Dec 3, 2007 to Feb 1, 2009) Jup 1st H.

Jupiter passing through the House of self: The spotlight is on you for now. Improving your self-image? The impression you make now could set the pace for several years. Do you sense the breeze of spiritual self-renewal? Be on guard that conceit not damage an otherwise positive period of good fortune. Gains are possible from travel, higher education and diverse cultural experiences. Make the most of it As your consciousness expands, see to it that your waistline stays lean.

Dec 7, 2007 (Dec 3, 2007 to Dec 12, 2007) Jup Conj Asc

You're looking good! Aside from a potential for gaining weight, this is a very welcome transit that usually imparts a greater sense of self-confidence. You're ready to manifest significant inner growth in an outward way. At the same time, you're embarking upon a six year cycle of potential personal expansion and success. Travel and positive social contacts are possible pluses.

Dec 9, 2007 7 PM(Dec 8, 2007 to Dec 10, 2007) Ven Trine Moon

Passions formed under this influence may feel good, but they may not last. If you're already in love, this is the time to patch things up or make them better. Perhaps this is the right time to surround yourself with family and friends. Sugar and spice and all things nice!

Dec 11, 2007 10 AM(Dec 10, 2007 to Dec 12, 2007) Merc Sxtil Sat

It's time to get to business. Put your mind to work and take care of any details on your desk. Stuff you may have felt blocked about is more easily resolved now. Take advantage of this clear frame of mind to turn in those job or school applications, meet with parents, employers or other authority figures. Mental organization, patience and determination, and a welcome dose of common sense, help you resolve even complex problems. Need an extension on your paper deadline, a later curfew perhaps? Ask now!

Dec 16, 2007 12 PM(Dec 16, 2007 to Dec 17, 2007) Sun Sxtil Plu

Whether you're clearing out your closet or your brain, this is the time to get rid of what you don't really need. Focus on progress and self-improvement. Gauge by other people's reactions if you're coming on too strong. You might make some important changes in your image.

Dec 16, 2007 10 PM(Dec 16, 2007 to Dec 17, 2007) Merc Sxtil Plu

A great time to get to the core of the matter. Whether you're taking it to the next level in sports or in convincing others, this is the time to make it happen. This influence is like having a ballpark halogen light inside your brain. Subject matter previously hidden becomes apparent. Constructive financial strategies you devise under this influence are likely to pay off.

Dec 17, 2007 7 PM(Dec 17, 2007 to Dec 18, 2007) Merc Conj Nep

Under this conjunction, you can add new dimensions to your spiritual and inner worlds. This is truly a good time to delve into your psychology, but try not to float away. The potential danger is giving in to an urge to escape pain and responsibility. Explore creative, nondestructive ways to express your feelings such as meditation, yoga, poetry, soul searching with a friend, or taking in a movie. Artists, musicians and spiritual seekers find this to be a most inspiring interlude. The powers of imagination could take you to new heights of understanding and happiness or plunge you into the depths of despair. Guard the mind.

Dec 17, 2007 9 PM(Dec 16, 2007 to Dec 18, 2007) Sun Conj Nep

This transit only lasts a few days but could be disturbing. At best, Neptunian enchantment allows you to enjoy a peaceful interlude. Perhaps you pause to meditate and relax or perhaps you simply soothe your soul by listening to your favorite music and/or enjoying a movie. This is a good time to delve into your psychology, as long as you can remain objective. Imagination and visualization is enhanced. The negative potential of this transit relates to fantasizing, fooling yourself, sleeping when you should be alert, or looking for an easy out when the problem needs to be handled. It's tempting to space out.

Dec 18, 2007 8 PM(Dec 16, 2007 to Dec 21, 2007) Mars Conj Moon

A testy time. This is because Mars is stirring up turbulent emotional memories and vibrations. Try to step out of yourself. Looking at your feelings honestly without overreacting and taking things too personally will help you decide consciously which way to go. Are you reacting like a child (ie. a tantrum)? Such behavior may have made sense when you were a kid but gets in the way of your adult relationships. Family quarrels, discord, and arguments over petty issues result in hurt feelings. Own your issues. Determine to rise above such clashes. Objectivity is the key.

Dec 19, 2007 1 AM(Dec 18, 2007 to Dec 20, 2007) Merc Conj Asc

Busy, busy, busy! You should be able to get your ideas across with ease. Your communication skills are heightened. Gossip and idle chatter fritter away your energy.

Dec 19, 2007 (Dec 18, 2007 to Jan 12, 2008) Merc 1st H.

Mercury passing through the House of self: Hyped-up communication. You're plugged in, talkative, ideas come from all directions. Avoid needless arguments. Walking or physical exercise might help relax your mind. Peace.

Dec 19, 2007 (Dec 14, 2007 to Dec 23, 2007) Jup Oppos Sun

Opportunities appear all around you but how they work out depends on your ability to pull in the reins; it's easy to overextend your wallet, exaggerate your vision, commit impulsively. Even if your goals are noble, have you objectively calculated what it will take to fulfill them in time and space? Consider that you'll have to deal with other people's resentment and anger if you make unrealistic promises that you cannot fulfill. Examine carefully any proposals before making binding promises. Plans that are overblown could prove to be costly. To avoid turning people off from the start, guard against an arrogant attitude that says, "I've got all the answers!" The experience you gain from traveling expands your horizons, but be prepared for additional costs before you take off. That outer success not be an empty shell, focus on inner values to precipitate outer prosperity and happiness.

Dec 19, 2007 7 PM(Dec 18, 2007 to Dec 20, 2007) Sun Conj Asc

You're feeling pumped, focused, even radiant. You could find yourself in the limelight. Enthusiasm, if controlled, adds to your credibility. The vibes are so positive, it's easy to get carried away. Guard against arrogance. Keep yourself heart centered.

Dec 19, 2007 (Dec 18, 2007 to Jan 26, 2008) Sun 1st H.

Sun passing through the House of Self: As your vitality is likely to be increased by solar rays, strive to be the best "me" you know how to be.

Dec 20, 2007 (Nov 24, 2007 to Jan 14, 2008) sat sqr merc

Try not to identify so much with your problems. Don't freak out over tests and overwhelming responsibilities. In the grand scheme of things, it's all small stuff, so why sweat it? It has been said:

"Please grant me the courage to change the things that I can change, the serenity to accept those things that I cannot change, and the wisdom to know the difference."

Respond to outer challenges with sincerity and equanimity. Conflicts with siblings and/or neighbors require diplomacy to avoid getting stuck.

Dec 20, 2007 4 PM(Dec 20, 2007 to Dec 21, 2007) Merc Oppos Sun

You're ready for brainstorming, swapping ideas, and defending your point of view. All this could be very energizing. Watch out, however, that conversations not turn into arguments due to a bruised ego. The better you feel about yourself, the easier it'll be for you to keep out of fights and arguments. If you carry a chip on your shoulder, you'll react to words as if they were cannonballs. A little humility won't hurt, especially when dealing with older persons.

Dec 20, 2007 10 PM(Dec 20, 2007 to Dec 21, 2007) Merc Sxtil Jup

This influence will help you balance the big picture with the details. For example, if you want to apply for a job or go to school away from home, this is the time to plan it out and possibly to apply. Vacations, schoolwork and travel are all favored. This is an optimum time to sign contracts as long as you carefully consider the fine print. Your life may be spiced by communication with siblings, cousins or even foreigners or people in faraway places. Good news!

Dec 20, 2007 (Dec 16, 2007 to Dec 25, 2007) Jup Sxtil Jup

This is a good time influence, so go for it! Dress up and go out because this is the time to get connected. Long term, this means you could be on a gloriously adventurous trip, finish off a decent semester, or experience an inner expansion of consciousness. Short term, this may mean a fortunate encounter, some extra bucks or an extra burst of vitality. Circumstances line up to help you get to where you're going. When the wind's in your sails, go for it! However, restlessness and a natural desire for change make it hard to finish current cycles. Resist dropping what must be completed. Put your mind on the goal. Victory!

Dec 22, 2007 4 AM(Dec 22, 2007 to Dec 23, 2007) Merc Sxtil MC

This is a good time to think about where you're going and what you want to do. Your ability to tune in to your future possibilities is definitely enhanced now. If it's appropriate, share your vision with those who believe are supportive of your plans.

Dec 22, 2007 9 AM(Dec 22, 2007 to Dec 23, 2007) Sun Oppos Sun

About six months have passed since you began the birthday cycle kick off. During the next three months, be prepared to deal with experiences that demand you look deeper into yourself. Your "mirror" could be someone at home, your parents, a co-worker, an employer or your significant other. So, what's the test? Maintain emotional harmony. Ride the wave by tuning in to what life is trying to tell you and keep your cool.

Dec 22, 2007 6 PM(Dec 22, 2007 to Dec 23, 2007) Sun Sxtil Jup

Take advantage of this uplifting forecast. A return of positive karma could be coming your way. A surge of extra enthusiasm brightens your day. Whether it's romance, school or a job that you're thinking of, all should go well. A good day for making up if need be. Advice from a guide or older person is helpful. Opportunities happening now tend to be fortuitous.

Dec 23, 2007 (Dec 22, 2007 to Jan 5, 2008) Ven 11th H.

Venus passing through the House of aspirations and friends: This is a time to enjoy friends who count. Harmony abets teamwork. A congenial personality attracts others to you. Explore the power of diplomacy.

Dec 23, 2007 6 PM(Dec 23, 2007 to Dec 24, 2007) Merc Oppos Moon

You're thinking through your emotions. Some of this could be unconscious. If you're not careful you could be sorry later for remarks that are childish or simply out of place. You could over react to another's comments, or have to deal with them overreacting to you. It helps to step outside the situation to understand what's really going on. Communication with little kids or siblings could test your patience.

Dec 24, 2007 4 PM(Dec 24, 2007 to Dec 25, 2007) Sun Sxtil MC

You're sitting pretty, so take charge and do your very best. Your diligence and persistence pay off at work. Interactions with employers, professors, parents or other older persons are highly favored.

Dec 25, 2007 5 AM(Dec 22, 2007 to Dec 27, 2007) Mars Trine MC

Financial backing or perhaps a supportive team are among the potential positive developments happening now to support your ambitions. Employers, parents, authority figures, whoever represents "the boss" for you is likely to be receptive now. Take advantage of the positive breeze. Go for it!

Dec 26, 2007 9 AM(Dec 26, 2007 to Dec 27, 2007) Merc Sqr Mars

Master the challenge of this square and you may find you have the right answers at the right time. Then again, you could be irritable and easily set off. While you may have legitimate complaints, think about the way you choose your words if you want positive results. If you use your tongue like a weapon, be prepared to handle the return artillery. Getting ticked off sets you up for a fall. Remember, anything you say could be used against you. Strategize and put your energy into your work. It'll pay off. Reasonable caution is advised while traveling.

Dec 27, 2007 3 AM(Dec 26, 2007 to Dec 28, 2007) Sun Oppos Moon

If you manage to keep your cool, these could be enjoyable days. You're feeling more emotional than usual so you're prone to take things personally and to overreact. Getting stressed out is easy to do. Step back a moment. Other people pushing your buttons may actually be mirroring parts of you that you don't see clearly. We're all players in each other's scripts. So, stay loving and peaceful, especially with family or with friends of the opposite sex.

Dec 27, 2007 4 AM(Dec 26, 2007 to Dec 28, 2007) Ven Oppos Ven

It's helpful to remember that opposites attract. When they don't, you're looking at a potential tug of war. At best, this means some positive social interactions, and at worst a real clash of values. Diplomacy is Venus' weapon of love.

Dec 29, 2007 (Dec 25, 2007 to Jan 2, 2008) Jup Sxtil MC

Your insights into yourself and your psychology should pay off now as increased self-confidence. Opportunities open up, allowing you to take important leaps ahead. You can multiply potential gain during this cycle by exercising a positive and creative mental attitude.

Dec 30, 2007 7 AM(Dec 30, 2007 to Dec 31, 2007) Merc Sqr Sat

You could be too hard on yourself and on others these days. A heavy workload, difficult circumstances or bad weather could make you feel out of it. Try to remember that every black cloud has a touch of gray. Any important decision making or problem solving now is going to require centeredness and patience. You could easily feel irritated by or concerned about siblings, cousins, roommates, schoolmates and/or co-workers. Serious discussions may take place. Confirm appointments. If you can work with this, the sun will come out and turn your gray to silver!

Dec 30, 2007 8 AM(Dec 27, 2007 to Jan 2, 2008) Mars Trine Jup

Surf the South Seas, climb Mt. MidheavenKinley! Anything seems possible now! A raise or new job is possible (you might, however, have to ask). You're in the flow and everything's all right. Go for it! A potentially good time for buying a car and for enjoyable travel. Negotiate the price down. Maxing out your credit card could be tempting. Commit only to that which is doable.

Dec 31, 2007 7 AM(Dec 30, 2007 to Jan 1, 2008) Sun Sqr Mars

You're feeling exceptionally sure of yourself. Use this positive charge to get a lot accomplished. This a good time to push through important projects, apply for a job, or set out to win in any competition.

he down side is that your fuse is likely to be short now. Guard against impatience and irritation, and you'll reach the goal Jordan style. But watch out. Little things could get you mad. Being pushy with members of the opposite sex is not going to go over well now. Obviously, if you're edgy, this is not a particularly good time for approaching parents and other authorities. Carelessness, anger and frustration can result in accidents. It's a lot of ch'i to handle. Physically working out, engaging in sports, or dancing could help you blow off some steam.

Dec 31, 2007 9 AM(Dec 28, 2007 to Jan 3, 2008) Mars Conj Sun

Maximize on the mega energy and drive available, making this an optimum time to launch that project and push forward! Do it now! A word of advice: play hard but keep your temper in check. Remember that you always need someone on your team. Pump up, don't punch out!! This influence is great for sports and other competitive events.

Jan 1, 2008 12 AM(Dec 31, 2007 to Jan 1, 2008) Ven Conj Ura

You may feel compelled to do something weird under this influence. Relationships formed under this aspect may be fun, but not necessarily long lasting. While some sort of financial breakthrough is possible, you might find it hard to hold on to what you receive. If you've been held back in your sense of self-expression, this aspect could help you break down barriers. Beware of throwing care to the wind with people, food, or money -- you might not feel so bold later.

Jan 4, 2008 3 PM(Jan 4, 2008 to Jan 5, 2008) Merc Sqr Plu

Go Zen. To navigate this intense labyrinth, you must keep your mental balance. Dark energies are surfacing. This is your chance to cleanse and purify your mental outlook. Keeping up a positive mental attitude now may be easier said than done. Nevertheless, it's your way out of heavy thoughts and attitudes that weigh on you at this time. Just because you feel something, it doesn't mean you should act it out. This means suicide, drugs and self-destruction are not the ticket. If they come up, they've got to go. Dive into your heart and retrieve a happy thought!

Suspicions about others may tell you more about yourself than about them. Otherwise it's probable your problem comes from within. This is a helpful influence for self-discovery and understanding as long as your angle is positive.

Steer clear of brawls, especially with brothers, sisters, classmates and co-workers. Be careful driving.

Jan 5, 2008 (Jan 4, 2008 to Jan 22, 2008) Ven 12th H.

Venus passing through the House of endings, the past, hidden friends and enemies: A love from your past may not be part of your future. Extra reserves of empathy lead to a desire to help out. An opportunity to capture a more spiritual understanding of love.

Jan 5, 2008 1 PM(Jan 5, 2008 to Jan 6, 2008) Merc Trine Ven

You're feeling more together than usual. Take care of any negotiations or important correspondence. All else being equal, this might be a good time to take in a movie, see a show, go out. Even better, enjoy a meaningful conversation with a friend. How about an excursion combining work, study and fun?

Saturn, sometimes called "The Great Teacher," is testing you. Psychological attitudes or external events block the flow. Responsibilities pile up. Clashes with parents and/or other authority figures may occur. While some might choose to sit this one out, you can make this influence work for you. If you feel overwhelmed, determine your priorities and tackle each situation one by one. Look at the glass as half full instead of half empty. Patience is a powerful key. Don't force things.

Jan 7, 2008 3 AM(Jan 7, 2008 to Jan 8, 2008) Ven Oppos Merc

Your sentiments and the ideas (or speech) of another could clash. What they say sounds rude. Or perhaps your message gets misconstrued. Courtesy tells another "I value you and what you have to say." If you're willing to really listen, great dialogue can result. Put a hold on gossip and meaningless conversation. Letting people know you appreciate them often does a world of good!

Jan 7, 2008 8 AM(Jan 7, 2008 to Jan 8, 2008) Ven Sxtil Mars

A little social life adds spice to your life. This might be the perfect time to meet a friend for lunch, take in a movie or go dancing. An extra dose of enthusiasm, charm and self-confidence is a boon in business as well. Some extra cash may come your way. No matter how hectic life may be for you these days, take the time to have a little fun. Meetings formed under this influence often prove to be fortuitous.

Jan 8, 2008 4 AM(Jan 4, 2008 to Jan 11, 2008) Mars Oppos Asc

Beware! This transit almost always brings you into conflict with others. As Mars enters your house of important relationships and open enemies, interpersonal differences can easily become ignited. The only way out is through the heart. Be considerate of others, but know that people will do what they will do. Strengthen your inner reserves.

Jan 8, 2008 (Jan 8, 2008 to Feb 24, 2008) Mars 6th H.

Mars passing through the House of work, health, pets and habits: This is an auspicious time to clean up your desk, your work environment and practices. Making the time to do a basic health inventory pays off. Which habits tie up your energy and which promote wholeness? Why not check out your pet as well? Be patient. You may not see immediate results, but provided you don't overdo it, gain will almost certainly result from your efforts. Now is the time for working hard. However, if you allow stress to build up, it could manifest as illness or a short fuse. No need to worry, but do take a reasonable degree of caution with occupational hazards.

Jan 8, 2008 12 PM(Jan 7, 2008 to Jan 9, 2008) Merc Sqr Jup

You're in a problem-solving mood. Discovering exactly the lessons life has offered you and how to learn from your experience is the way to crack the code. Meditating in motion may suit you better than staying still.

If you're going to get an apartment or buy a car, read the fine print. Schoolwork could suffer if you're not in the mood or if you're sloppy. Just do it! Leave fishing for later. Ignoring details could prove costly and at the very least you may have to do things over later. Backing up and protecting copies of files is always a good idea. Your life may be spiced by communication with siblings, cousins or even foreigners or people in faraway places. No matter how good the news sounds, give it a few days or more to see if it pans out.

Jan 9, 2008 3 AM(Jan 9, 2008 to Jan 10, 2008) Merc Sxtil Ura

Your mental genie is awake. Quick answers, great lines, and brilliant solutions are yours to command. This is the time to get your point across and be creative. What appears to be an unforgettable revelation could vanish like a dream. Jot down or record original flashes of genius and inspiring thoughts.

Jan 9, 2008 (Jan 5, 2008 to Jan 13, 2008) Jup Oppos Moon

You're itching for adventure, but working your plans to fit your budget may be hard. Be sure you've got the cash to cover the costs before taking off. Lessons in giving and receiving may be on this year's agenda. You're feeling so generous, but how much is it really wise to give? Depending on handouts leads to mental laziness. Temper your zeal and allow others to have reasonable differences. Be ready to deal with problems related to moving, traveling, and studying.

Jan 9, 2008 5 PM(Jan 9, 2008 to Jan 10, 2008) Merc Sqr MC

Be aware of the potential for banging heads now. Confronting your parents or boss may not be the brightest of moves. Watch what you say. You could easily alienate others or damage your reputation. With those who understand you best, the conversational dance could be exhilarating.

Jan 12, 2008 (Jan 11, 2008 to Apr 2, 2008) Merc 2nd H.

Mercury passing through the House of values and money: Your mind is set to take care of business. Write down ideas to increase cash flow; eliminate confusion and see results. You might be especially convincing during this time. If your mind is befuddled, wait for the solution to appear before committing.

Jan 12, 2008 12 PM(Jan 11, 2008 to Jan 13, 2008) Ven Sxtil Sat

This is a positive aspect, especially if you're involved in the arts. It's also a good time to select a new wardrobe or decorate your room. Sometimes old friendships and important relationships are rekindled during this time. It's easy to relate to employers and authority figures. There's a sense of mutual appreciation. Long term friendships or romances sometimes develop under this influence.

Jan 13, 2008 8 PM(Jan 13, 2008 to Jan 14, 2008) Merc Trine Merc

You're juiced. You're quick. Get in the game! You'll have no problem getting your point across now. This influence is favorable for any kind of competition, all sorts of games, plugging into the computer, and interfacing with others. Take advantage of this positive time to apply for jobs or schools, working things out, or making plans with brothers, sisters, roommates, classmates and/or co-workers.

Jan 14, 2008 12 AM(Jan 13, 2008 to Jan 14, 2008) Merc Trine Mars

You're sharp today. You say what you mean and mean what you say. It's easier to talk about your feelings, write up those school or business strategies. Get those projects in motion now while you've got the steam. Now is prime time to work out or pump up. If you're into sports or competition, make this one a win. You might enjoy a short trip.

Jan 14, 2008 11 PM(Jan 13, 2008 to Jan 15, 2008) Sun Sqr Plu

Fights, power struggles, and intense arguments characterize this short but powerful influence. Gear up to the challenge and try to handle any confrontational situations sensibly. Don't allow others to clobber you with criticism. You could be too hard on them as well. Nevertheless, Pluto can show you where changes have to be made. If you're financially independent, questions related to your credit could surface now. Control your temper and keep clear of violence.

Jan 16, 2008 1 AM(Jan 11, 2008 to Jan 22, 2008) Mars Oppos Nep

Neptune is your connection to the unseen worlds, your data line to the Muses. Be on guard; it's tempting to detour. Tune in to the soul crying out for healing and avoid "making wrong right!" If you think you've found the love of your life, take it easy until this transit passes and you see/sense more clearly. Stay objective and attuned with your heart, so that you not be vulnerable to being duped.

If you feel excessively bummed during this transit, there may be someone or something (including yourself) who you have to forgive. Forgiveness is the key to peace and resolution. On Neptunian days, we often feel like we'd rather pull the covers over our heads. Its tough, Mommy and Daddy aren't there anymore! And when they were there, the circumstance may of been less than ideal. No matter how busy you may be, take the time to meditate. Unpleasant events or emotions, the results of past actions, may appear on the screen of your life. Your impulse may be to run and hide or play the victim, but it is best to face such times head on. If it doesn't sit well with your heart, don't do it! The fact is that the truth does indeed set us free! Paint, write, play or listen to beautiful tunes, dance, pray! Enjoy this inspirational time.

Jan 16, 2008 10 AM(Jan 15, 2008 to Jan 17, 2008) Sun Trine Ven

Are you radiating an extra dose of love these days? It's Venus! Share the good vibes. You might spend this tender time with loved ones, perhaps with children. Romance may be in the air. Shopping's fun. This astrology helps promote business and smooth over negotiations. You could enjoy good food and drink, but don't pig out.

Jan 18, 2008 8 AM(Jan 17, 2008 to Jan 19, 2008) Merc Trine Sat

It's time to get to business. Put your mind to work and take care of any details on your desk. Stuff you may have felt blocked about is more easily resolved now. Take advantage of this clear frame of mind to turn in those job or school applications, meet with parents, employers or other authority figures. Mental organization, patience and determination, and a welcome dose of common sense, help you resolve even complex problems. Need an extension on your paper deadline, a later curfew perhaps? Ask now!

Jan 19, 2008 2 PM(Jan 19, 2008 to Jan 20, 2008) Ven Sxtil Plu

Strong attractions to the opposite sex often occur under this influence. Something deep inside you draws you to relationships that reveal your hidden self. This energy can also be channeled successfully into creative work and really fun social outings. Some financial gain is possible. This is a good time to use funds resourcefully. You could get some top notch entertainment, obtain something beautiful or luxurious, and improve your wardrobe or appearance.

Jan 20, 2008 5 PM(Jan 19, 2008 to Jan 21, 2008) Ven Conj Nep

Your imagination is enhanced. You are highly idealistic and capable of giving much to others now. Before you get going on that quest to find the perfect jewel or win over your most recent crush, remember to bring along your common sense. Writers, artists and those of mystical inclination could be inspired to new heights.

Jan 21, 2008 4 AM(Jan 21, 2008 to Jan 22, 2008) Sun Sqr Jup

This influence is like having lots of money in your hands but not necessarily spending it wisely. You've got plenty of enthusiasm. But you could easily go too far, take on too much, promise more than you're willing or able to deliver. You could get ripped off if you're not careful. Someone older or in authority could disapprove of your actions or decisions. It could be hard to figure out the right move. If you believe in yourself, you're more likely to obtain the support of others. If you feel full of yourself, you're apt to make foolish mistakes. If you feel frustrated as to where you're headed in life just now, wait this one out.

Jan 22, 2008 4 AM(Jan 21, 2008 to Jan 23, 2008) Sun Sxtil Ura

Do something different. Pay attention. You may discover insights into day-to-day problems and into your psychology that will prove to be of great value later. Your antennas are tingling, making this a prime time to study your astrology. A teaching you attend now or dream you experience could be a revelation. No matter how cosmic it appears, you're apt to forget if you don't write it down. This is a positive influence for participating in group activities and for taking the lead. Tying into the Internet or some other computer related work may be on your menu.

Jan 22, 2008 (Jan 21, 2008 to Feb 22, 2008) Ven 1st H.

Venus passing through the House of self: Even the shy radiate warm smiles now. This is a time to improve your image and indulge your sense of style. Reach out and share your happiness.

Jan 22, 2008 7 AM(Jan 21, 2008 to Jan 23, 2008) Ven Conj Asc

You're leading a charmed life! Others want to get to know you. Don't let it go to your head. Rather, use this positive astrology to make that date, apply for that job, or otherwise make yourself known!

Jan 23, 2008 3 AM(Jan 23, 2008 to Jan 24, 2008) Sun Sqr MC

You may be looking for answers in the basic areas of life: relationships, home, school, future. However, if you come on too strong now, others might react and you could feel frustrated as a result. Or you may need a boost of self-confidence to get others to help facilitate your plans.

Jan 24, 2008 10 AM(Jan 23, 2008 to Jan 25, 2008) Ven Oppos Sun

You may find yourself butting heads with someone you care about over values. Especially in close relationships, you could feel terribly self-conscious. Everyone needs to love and be loved. Rather than feeling lonely or despondent, meditate on the light within the heart. You value yourself by acknowledging inner beauty. Consider the notion that Love is the gardener preparing the garden of your heart. Sometimes it's necessary to meet another half way. Other times, the loving choice is to say "no," even to the best of friends.

Try not to over personalize. You're not the only one learning how to love. So, what helps you feel happy? Go shopping, change your hairstyle, play with your dog or bake a cake. As long as you consider your budget and your waistline, you could have fun. While you may be at your creative and romantic best, it's easy to overindulge. Wear that outfit, visit that bistro, go on that date; just check your vanity and insecurity at the door.

Jan 24, 2008 6 PM(Jan 23, 2008 to Jan 25, 2008) Ven Sxtil Jup

The breezes feel warm and favorable. Use the extra dose of love and good vibes you feel know to settle any outstanding grievances. Diplomacy and kindness mend the rifts. This transit is an epicure's delight; cook it up and invite someone special or hit your favorite restaurant. Take some time out to enjoy your life; a mini vacation might be ideal. By providing some service, extending a hand, helping those in need, you expand the joy within your heart. Your romantic life receives a few sprinkles of happiness now. This astrology is potentially positive for increased cash flow. Even though this is a positive influence, it must be said: too much of a good thing can be harmful.

Jan 26, 2008 8 AM(Jan 25, 2008 to Jan 27, 2008) Ven Sxtil MC

You're feeling especially loving and harmonious right now. Your appreciation of all beautiful things is heightened. You could be in the limelight, especially with superiors or in relation to your work.

Jan 26, 2008 (Jan 25, 2008 to Mar 20, 2008) Sun 2nd H.

Sun passing through the House of values and money: Consider what resources are available to you and how best to use them. Above all, be true to yourself. Do the clothes make the man? Know that you are worthy and shine! Some lessons in letting go might be on the menu; remember that when a door is locked, a window is opened.

Jan 27, 2008 10 AM(Jan 18, 2008 to Feb 13, 2008) Mars Trine Plu

Your sense of purpose and determination is intensified. You're working through some killer internal changes that could lead to great new beginnings. Changes made now could have long lasting consequences. Nevertheless, if you push too hard, you could be too oppressive to yourself and others.

Jan 28, 2008 9 AM(Jan 27, 2008 to Jan 29, 2008) Ven Oppos Moon

Emotional clashes are common under this influence. Often the conflict relates to sex or to spending. A defensive attitude could keep you (or possibly a loved one) from seeing clearly. A bit of detachment helps. If your heart is hurting, give yourself some love, but no self-pity, please. If you're partying, avoid overdoing it. If you're shopping, have fun but respect your limits.

Jan 28, 2008 (Jan 24, 2008 to Feb 2, 2008) Jup Sqr Mars

What you feel like doing may not measure up with what you need to be doing. You may not feel like taking the obvious road to success that has opened up in front of you, especially if it involves hard work. It has been said that the road of one thousand miles begins with one step. Nevertheless, consider well the consequences before you act. Make a foolish gamble, act on impulse, and you'll find yourself squished at the bottom of the pileup. Run the blocks and you'll make it downfield. Often, longer is quicker; right preparation and attention to detail gets the job done right!

Jan 29, 2008 merc trine plu

A great time to get to the core of the matter. Whether you're taking it to the next level in sports or in convincing others, this is the time to make it happen. This influence is like having a ballpark halogen light inside your brain. Subject matter previously hidden becomes apparent. Constructive financial strategies you devise under this influence are likely to pay off.

Jan 29, 2008 12 PM(Jan 29, 2008 to Jan 30, 2008) Sun Trine Merc

The creative juices are flowing. Maximize this optimum time for planning, writing, and putting your attention on schoolwork. You may find yourself more talkative and involved than usual. This is a positive influence for dialoging with older persons, teachers, employers, or people in charge. You shouldn't have any trouble getting your point across!

Jan 29, 2008 (Dec 31, 2007 to Mar 20, 2008) Plu Oppos Sun

This may be a cycle of dealing with the Black Knights. Intense determination helps you accomplish whatever you set your mind to, provided you try not to alienate those you need the most by arousing their anger and opposition, or through scaring them off with your bravado. Choose your battles wisely. Despite current inclinations, you'll probably discover that diplomacy will get you further than fighting it out. Making enemies unnecessarily gets you embroiled in brawls you don't need. Remember -- that which upsets you most in others may be a reflection of what you don't want to face within yourself! Thank them inwardly for the mirror, change negative aspects of self that oppose your true happiness, and move on!

Be aware of and transmute any self-destructive habits or behaviors such as abusive or sexually degrading relationships, power struggles and other such negative karmic ties. Conflicts related to the father or father figure may well be at the core of some of your current issues. Forgive, seek peace, and let go! You'll be more tolerant of others when you keep in mind that not everyone is experiencing life with such great intensity. Nevertheless, you may have to confront, expose or struggle against some form of darkness (personal or planetary). Pluto and the Sun's house positions and aspects fill in the details.

Jan 29, 2008 6 PM(Jan 29, 2008 to Jan 30, 2008) Sun Trine Mars

You have an extra dose of self-confidence. That makes this a good time to get things done. Good eye-hand coordination and steady effort make almost any job doable. If you don't get out and do something, all this energy could drive you nuts. How about at least hitting the gym to blow off some steam?

Jan 31, 2008 8 PM(Jan 31, 2008 to Feb 1, 2008) Ven Sqr Mars

Squares create challenges. Being that this is a love challenge, your heart is your best counselor for whatever might come up in your personal relationships. It's likely that you desire to express and receive love now. So, where's the rub? It might be just a moment during the day in the midst of larger happenings. Did you react with anger or hurt at another's words? Did s/he react to yours? Your sense of values could be in conflict with your feelings. Go into your heart. Think through your actions before jumping into anything. Maybe you're tempted to spend more than you can afford or go further than you think you should. Don't be afraid to say no. Never put yourself or another down in the name of love. We all have different needs. Be honest in all business transactions.

Feb 4, 2008 11 PM(Feb 4, 2008 to Feb 5, 2008) Sun Trine Sat

You're up to tackling projects that require real discipline and organization. Hard work pays off. Progress you make now could benefit you for some time to come. All else being equal, you'll likely to be well received by parents, employers, or other authority figures.

Feb 5, 2008 10 PM(Feb 5, 2008 to Feb 6, 2008) Ven Sqr Sat

This is not an easy time. You could feel unappreciated and unloved. You can't always get what you want. What's keeping you from getting the love you need? Practice "heart smarts." First of all, recognize what's good in you. Then, even if you don't feel like it, go into your heart. Bring up memories of good times you've had. Replace negative feelings with good vibes.

Feb 8, 2008 7 AM(Feb 8, 2008 to Feb 9, 2008) Merc Trine Sat

Feb 12, 2008 (Jan 10, 2008 to July 4, 2008) Plu Sxtil Jup

Your life path undergoes major changes. You find yourself focused and homing in on what really matters to get ahead. An optimal time to find mentors, practice sports, see the world or reflect on what your role is in the big picture. This is when you search for the meaning of it all. You could discover a major clue to your specific mission in life. Potential long term benefits derive from school, specialized training or travel. Your financial picture is likely to undergo some positive changes.

Feb 12, 2008 11 PM(Feb 12, 2008 to Feb 13, 2008) Ven Sqr Plu

Intense sexual encounters are possible under this "fly by" influence. If you feel yourself coming on too strong, getting power hungry, or allowing other people to dominate you, you could feel very discouraged. Rather than trying to remake the other person, let go and deal with your own stuff.

Feb 13, 2008 12 PM(Feb 12, 2008 to Feb 14, 2008) Sun Trine Plu

Whether you're clearing out your closet or your brain, this is the time to get rid of what you don't really need. Focus on progress and self-improvement. Gauge by other people's reactions if you're coming on too strong. You might make some important changes in your image.

Feb 14, 2008 4 AM(Feb 14, 2008 to Feb 15, 2008) Ven Trine Ven

You're showing fabulous taste. Now's the time to appreciate the finer things in life. This is a propitious cycle for going out, being with friends, going shopping, and in short, for enjoying life. The time is especially auspicious for artists, entrepreneurs, romantics and lovers of beauty.

Feb 14, 2008 9 PM(Feb 14, 2008 to Feb 15, 2008) Sun Sxtil Nep

This influence pumps up your imagination and your ability to see beyond, providing you with the makings of a short inspirational interlude. Artists, musicians, romantics, mystics, spiritual seekers, and idealists all delight in being lifted in the spirit. You could woo your creative side or simply meditate in motion, take in an interesting movie, write a poem, or go star-gazing.

Feb 15, 2008 12 AM(Feb 14, 2008 to Feb 15, 2008) Sun Sqr Ven

Chances are you feel like taking it easy today. It could be hard gearing up if you've work to do. Your sense of self and your need to be loved meet, but could be at odds with each other. Some people seek comfort in sweets. Instead of mellowing out, they tend to be crabby and emotional, and unreasonably demanding with close friends and family. Maybe it's just a bad hair day, or perhaps older persons are put off by your appearance. Whatever it is, it's probably not a big deal. On the up side, this influence can inspire you to perfect art and music projects, upgrade your wardrobe, or enjoy the company of another --that is, if you're willing to take the time and make the effort.

Feb 15, 2008 11 AM(Feb 13, 2008 to Feb 25, 2008) Merc Trine Mars

You're sharp today. You say what you mean and mean what you say. It's easier to talk about your feelings, write up those school or business strategies.

As far as your image goes, things are looking super today. Chances are you feel very expressive and are able to communicate well. This, then, is a good time to approach the boss, older persons or those in positions of authority. Unless Mars and Jupiter are severely challenged, this might be the day to start a vacation, get into sports or begin a new project.

Feb 18, 2008 2 AM(Feb 18, 2008 to Feb 19, 2008) Ven Sqr Jup

The planet of love and money (Venus) and the planet of opportunity (Jupiter) come together, but they may be at odds with each other. Much good fortune comes from this meeting. The square, however, alerts us to the dangers of excess, overspending, overeating, and over dating. Sometimes, the sweet breezes of these astros incline the person toward laziness, a definite waste. This is not the hour to follow impulses or overindulge desires. The things you know are best for you may not jive with what you feel like doing. Some self-restraint allows for fun and pays off big tomorrow. Resist the temptation to buy stuff you really don't need or cannot afford.

Feb 18, 2008 9 PM(Feb 18, 2008 to Feb 19, 2008) Ven Sxtil Ura

Be ready for unexpected romantic, social or financial opportunities. Write down your poetic and practical inspirations. Why not get away from routine and do something completely different for a change? Friendships formed during this transit tend to be special, if out of the ordinary. Combining art and technology might be a lot of fun. Your team might experience a breakthrough at work.

Feb 19, 2008 9 AM(Feb 18, 2008 to Feb 20, 2008) Sun Trine Sun

This feeling good influence should give you a real boost. Be creative. Get out there! Stress levels are relatively low, making this an opportune time to get your schedule organized or figure out your plans. Regardless of whatever else you might be handling, here's some good energy for dealing with parents, teachers and/or people in charge. Carpe Diem, seize the day!

Feb 19, 2008 4 PM(Feb 18, 2008 to Feb 20, 2008) Ven Sqr MC

If you meet this square successfully, you could spend an enjoyable, even stimulating few days with someone special. However, if you feel yourself put down in relation to someone else, this shows that you need to work on your basic self-esteem. Cash flow issues could cut into plans. Duty and desire may be at odds.

Feb 19, 2008 6 PM(Feb 18, 2008 to Feb 20, 2008) Sun Trine Jup

Take advantage of this uplifting forecast. A return of positive karma could be coming your way. A surge of extra enthusiasm brightens your day. Whether it's romance, school or a job that you're thinking of, all should go well. A good day for making up if need be. Advice from a guide or older person is helpful. Opportunities happening now tend to be fortuitous.

Feb 20, 2008 6 PM(Feb 20, 2008 to Feb 21, 2008) Sun Sqr Ura

Watch out! Here's a fuse about to blow. Uranian squares bring in a lot of restlessness and can be very disruptive. Uranus is "The Awakener." You could receive a needed lesson, but perhaps not in the packaging you'd prefer. Be humble. If you do feel riled up, take a jog or find a constructive way to release this energy. Sitting on it could lead to explosions. You may feel the "system" or someone with greater authority than yourself, stifles your freedom. Or maybe you're impatient with protocol, legal glitches, and rules. Seek changes but avoid radical actions that cause unnecessary damage. Be nice to your vehicle and hi-tech equipment. This is a dangerous time to live on the edge. If good friends would mislead you with foolish invites, be prepared to say no.

The world is looking friendly right now. You should be able to figure out even tough problems. Take advantage of this positive breeze to seek answers and work things out.

Feb 24, 2008 (Feb 22, 2008 to May 21, 2008) Mars 7th H.

Mars passing through the House of Relationships: This period will test your ability to resolve interpersonal conflicts. Anger often masks hurt feelings. Take a step back from the issue and ask yourself, "What do I expect of this person? What is being expected of me?" In searching for the answer, be willing to be honest with yourself and considerate of others. If sparks fly, determine to act decisively but avoid over reacting in a way that you might later regret. A mutually agreeable compromise may be necessary to settle differences amicably. On the plus side, your efforts could be strengthened by working energetically and harmoniously with another person toward a common goal.

Feb 24, 2008 5 PM(Feb 20, 2008 to Feb 28, 2008) Mars Oppos Asc

Beware! This transit almost always brings you into conflict with others. As Mars enters your house of important relationships and open enemies, interpersonal differences can easily become ignited. The only way out is through the heart. Be considerate of others, but know that people will do what they will do. Strengthen your inner reserves.

This positive astrology brings love and communication together harmoniously. The possibilities are endless, but it doesn't last long. Some simply take pleasure in the everyday details of life. Others enjoy mini-excursions, a movie or a chat with a friend in a local café. Still others use this influence by writing and sharing the thoughts of their hearts. If you want to win someone's love, now is the time to impress them with your words. This is a propitious moment to take up a course like Compassionate Communication by Marshall Rosenburg, or to read How to Influence Friends and Loved Ones by Dale Carnegie. It's classic. Give loved ones a call.

Feb 25, 2008 3 AM(Feb 24, 2008 to Feb 26, 2008) Ven Trine Mars

A little social life adds spice to your life. This might be the perfect time to meet a friend for lunch, take in a movie or go dancing. An extra dose of enthusiasm, charm and self-confidence is a boon in business as well. Some extra cash may come your way. No matter how hectic life may be for you these days, take the time to have a little fun. Meetings formed under this influence often prove to be fortuitous.

Feb 26, 2008 (Feb 14, 2008 to Mar 10, 2008) Sat Sxtil Moon

During this time emotional maturity and sustained effort pay off. You find that you can handle stuff that used to leave you dazed and confused. This is a great time to reorganize your work or home environment, bring to fruition uncompleted tasks, and work out solutions with kids. Helping older people, mentoring youth, working with children, or training a pet could prove satisfying to the soul.

Feb 28, 2008 5 AM(Feb 28, 2008 to Feb 29, 2008) Sun Sqr Merc

The forecast: high probability of harsh words with a brother or sister, authority figure, parent, teacher or older person. Communication is improved when you center in your heart and take a moment to consider the other person's needs and feelings. Instead of getting angry or down on yourself or someone else, listen to your own thoughts and be willing to admit mistakes. You can learn a lot from taking in what others have to say.

Timing is essential. It could be hard to know which move to make and when. Initiating new activities, expanding an existing business, or taking on new responsibilities is generally not recommended now. If such moves are inevitable, consider well the details and be careful not to bite off more than you can chew. Keep in mind that the ends may not justify the means; be sincere in all things, know well with whom you're dealing. Errors in judgment could prove costly. Preparedness is essential to avoid snags. There's potential for clashes with parents, teachers, or authorities; sometimes it's not what's happening that counts as much as how you react. Do your homework, be ethical in all transactions, stay positive, and control your enthusiasm. Then all should be well. If that's too tall an order, life will teach you what you can and cannot accomplish, with whom and under what circumstances.

Mar 1, 2008 6 AM(Mar 1, 2008 to Mar 2, 2008) Ven Trine Sat

This is a positive aspect, especially if you're involved in the arts. It's also a good time to select a new wardrobe or decorate your room. Sometimes old friendships and important relationships are rekindled during this time. It's easy to relate to employers and authority figures. There's a sense of mutual appreciation. Long term friendships or romances sometimes develop under this influence.

Mar 2, 2008 8 PM(Mar 1, 2008 to Mar 3, 2008) Merc Trine Sat

It's time to get to business. Put your mind to work and take care of any details on your desk. Stuff you may have felt blocked about is more easily resolved now. Take advantage of this clear frame of mind to turn in those job or school applications, meet with parents, employers or other authority figures. Mental organization, patience and determination, and a welcome dose of common sense, help you resolve even complex problems. Need an extension on your paper deadline, a later curfew perhaps? Ask now!

Mar 4, 2008 6 PM(Mar 1, 2008 to Mar 7, 2008) Mars Conj Sun

Maximize on the mega energy and drive available, making this an optimum time to launch that project and push forward! Do it now! A word of advice: play hard but keep your temper in check. Remember that you always need someone on your team. Pump up, don't punch out!! This influence is great for sports and other competitive events.

Mar 5, 2008 10 PM(Mar 2, 2008 to Mar 8, 2008) Mars Trine Jup

Surf the South Seas, climb Mt. MidheavenKinley! Anything seems possible now! A raise or new job is possible (you might, however, have to ask). You're in the flow and everything's all right. Go for it! A potentially good time for buying a car and for enjoyable travel. Negotiate the price down. Maxing out your credit card could be tempting. Commit only to that which is doable.

Mar 8, 2008 6 AM(Mar 7, 2008 to Mar 9, 2008) Ven Trine Plu

Strong attractions to the opposite sex often occur under this influence. Something deep inside you draws you to relationships that reveal your hidden self. This energy can also be channeled successfully into creative work and really fun social outings. Some financial gain is possible. This is a good time to use funds resourcefully. You could get some top notch entertainment, obtain something beautiful or luxurious, and improve your wardrobe or appearance.

Mar 9, 2008 8 AM(Mar 9, 2008 to Mar 10, 2008) Ven Sxtil Nep

Compassion, sensitivity to the needs and feelings of others and artistic and musical inspiration are enhanced under this influence. This is an opportune time to visit family or friends, especially those in need of comfort. Relationships initiated under this aspect could be an ideal encounter or some pie-in-the-sky bubbles soon to burst.

Mar 9, 2008 11 AM(Mar 9, 2008 to Mar 10, 2008) Ven Sqr Ven

Chances are you're very touchy these days. You could feel unloved or could even be unloving. You could feel lonely or confused about a relationship, about your romantic prospects, your financial situation or about life in general. During this time you can get in touch with your heart. Artists, dancers, writers and musicians are expert at turning the soul's longings, even when unfulfilled, into inspiring poetry and images. The only lasting happiness comes from within. Don't blow your cash on stuff you may not really want tomorrow.

Mar 10, 2008 12 PM(Mar 9, 2008 to Mar 11, 2008) Merc Trine Plu

A great time to get to the core of the matter. Whether you're taking it to the next level in sports or in convincing others, this is the time to make it happen. This influence is like having a ballpark halogen light inside your brain. Subject matter previously hidden becomes apparent. Constructive financial strategies you devise under this influence are likely to pay off.

Mar 11, 2008 4 PM(Mar 8, 2008 to Mar 14, 2008) Mars Trine MC

Financial backing or perhaps a supportive team are among the potential positive developments happening now to support your ambitions. Employers, parents, authority figures, whoever represents "the boss" for you is likely to be receptive now. Take advantage of the positive breeze. Go for it!
