June 2011 Skies Can Be Good News

A friend sent me a link to Richard Nolle’s website, specifically his forecast for the current period. http://www.astropro.com/forecast/predict/2011-06.html


Before giving my version of how to interpret the skies of June, I need to say that Richard Nolle is one of the most highly respected astrologers in the USA today. I respect him. But, as you’ll see below, I also differ with his interpretations from time to time.

Nolle’s account of the June/July eclipse pattern sounds like a catastrophe. We have a Solar Eclipse on June 1st at 11° Gemini, a Lunar Eclipse on June 15th at 24° Sagittarius, and a Solar Eclipse on July 1st at 9° Cancer. Now, does this sound ominous or what? But, let’s hear the other side.

Eclipses change energy patterns. This year, and next, we have some heavy duty energy changing going on. People who are locked in to a specific way of looking at and operating in the world will be forced to adjust or else. What does “or else” mean? It can mean forced relocation or death. So, yes, that is difficult. Before you envision Nazi troops moving people, think again. People in Tuscaloosa Alabama and Joplin Missouri are being forced to move because of storm damage. People in Louisiana who were in the path of the Morganza Spillway were forced to move. You could change jobs and be forced to move. But moving is not necessarily bad. In fact, ultimately you can benefit from improved housing, friendships and job opportunities because of a move.

Since eclipses change energy patterns, this is good news to people who want the patterns to change. Those eclipses specifically change patterns in the houses of your horoscope they activate. This is as much an opportunity as it is a burden! How would you like to improve matters in the houses that are activated by these eclipses? You won’t get as much of an opportunity for the next 10-19 years, until eclipses move to this section of the zodiac again. (In about 10 years the Lunar Nodes will switch places, so these houses will be activated by the opposite Node eclipses. It takes 19 years for the same Node to return to its current position.)

Among Nolle’s predictions are financial bad news. The same answer as above applies. We are changing patterns. If you are locked into a pattern which is being eliminated, you are having a hard financial period. But not everyone is! This is another good news situation where there are opportunities out there for people who are some combination of lucky and innovative. A new economy is being created.

Finally, let’s look at love and sex. We had a Venus-Mars conjunction on May 23rd, which sets the tone for sexual relationships for the next almost 2 years. (When Venus and Mars meet in Aries in 2013.) Nolle highlights the foibles of Dominique Strauss-Kahn, and could have added the NY Congressman Anthony Weiner’s indiscretion if it had happened before Nolle published. So, yes, a Venus-Mars conjunction does rev up the sex lives of everyone. For a few disturbed individuals, this can get them in trouble. (I leave it to you to determine whether Weiner himself sent the photo, or someone else did.) But, what about most people? This lovely Venus-Mars conjunction is strongly sensual. It is a chance for almost everyone to explore their sexuality and to become more sensual beings. This is good for most people, not bad. One person I know is engaged in a class to explore his sensuality. He has assignments to listen to favorite music and cook favorite foods. We can all benefit from honoring Venus and Mars!

It is my hope that all my readers and their friends will make the most of life’s opportunities and thrive in today’s world. May it be so!

Money in the Horoscope

What indicators in the horoscope show money? How can you identify where money can be found in your life? When your financial life will be better?

Astrologers have many different ways of looking at money in the horoscope. Lois M. Rodden, the author of Money: How to Find It with Astrology, Focuses on the earth houses (2, 6, and 10), having to do with mundane life, and the water houses (4, 8 & 12), which have to do with wealth. Basically, you look to the money houses to see where your money is coming from. Where is the ruler of the second house? Is it tenanted? How about the sixth and tenth houses? Planets in the wealth houses, 4, 8 and 12, suggest independent means.

Let’s focus on what the houses mean in regards to money:

1st House:
Self employment, relies on beauty or physical attributes.

7th House:
Through spouse, counseling, partnerships

2nd House:
Gains money from collectibles, portable items of high value, jewelry

8th House:
Banking, finance, insurance, undertakers, detectives and police.

3rd House:
Sales in general, communications, writing, teaching K-12

9th House:
Law, religion, higher education, writing and publishing.

4th House:
Real Estate, family money, farming

10th House:
Own business, major corporations, politics

5th House:
Gambling, stock market investments, arts

11th House:
Organizations, trade groups, consortiums

6th House:
Crafts, health, medicine, provider of services to individuals, households and businesses.

12th House:
Is supported by others, retired, disabled, imprisoned, vow of poverty…

Venus rules Small Money, or Personal Money, and Pluto rules Big Money; as they are the natural rulers of the 2nd and 8th houses. Big Money means money of society, money of organizations, other people's money... so, money that you as an individual do not control. When Pluto changes signs, as it just did, Big Money makes important changes too. Economic conditions change in ways that create new opportunities and close old options. The lesson is to work with Pluto. To see what Pluto brings to your natal chart. (You can also consider how Pluto impacts the charts of any organizations or cities, states and countries.) You need to work with, collaborate with, Pluto. Pluto is like the 400 pound gorilla!

Take a look at your natal chart. Pluto indicates where Big Money lies. Transiting Pluto, now at about 3° Capricorn, indicates the current picture of Big Money in your life.

Venus, on the other hand, is a force we can directly use. Venus is where you attract money. Look to your natal Venus for your life-long ability to attract money, and to the current position of your secondary progressed Venus for your current opportunities.

A whole different approach to money in the horoscope is presented by the Magi Society in their book Love and Money. They look at four aspects: conjunction, trine, parallel and contra-parallel, with narrow orbs[1], that indicate money. There are five so-called Golden Linkages: Venus-Chiron, Jupiter-Chiron, Jupiter-Pluto, Pluto-Chiron, and Venus-Pluto. There are five Silver Linkages: Venus-Neptune, Venus-Uranus, Venus-Jupiter, Jupiter-Uranus, and Jupiter-Neptune. These ten aspects, together called Success Linkages, can be formed within a single horoscope, by transit, by progression, and with another person or with a corporate entity. When formed within the person’s chart, it is a life-long indication of some degree of wealth. When formed between charts, it indicates financial success while the parties are joined—during the marriage or partnership or period of employment. When formed by transit or progression, make hay while the sun shines, as this is temporary!

When we examine birth charts of notable people who are multi-millionaires and billionaires, let’s ask the question, “Who am I?” Here we look to a major life emphasis by the sign and house of the chart ruler.

Second, where is Venus, and where is Pluto? Do they contact each other? Now look further to spot any of the Magi Society enhancement aspects of financial success.

Now, what would it take to make your chart financially successful?

[1] The conjunction and trine and generally all longitude aspects would be within 3°. The aspects of declination would be within 1.2°.
