The intense astrological configurations are reinforced by the waxing square between the Sun at 3° Aries and Mars at 3° Capricorn around March 24.

There is a somber and heavy mood and you may face lots of duties and obligations.
Some of you may feel particularly lonely these late March days.
Venus enters its own sign Taurus around the March 31 Full Moon.

Generally speaking, April 19 is less a "lucky" day.
Try not to initiate any major projects on this dark, unfortunate, chaotic and empty day (no proposals, no marriages, no changes of residence,...) because things may not go as planned or wished.
When Mars and Saturn conjoin and Saturn is the stronger because it's in its own sign Capricorn of ambitions and climbing up the ladder, there is a huge need to prove oneself and achieve one's goals or targets.
The Mars-Saturn conjunction in a cardinal sign is a huge driver and aims high.

The day after, around April 5, retrograde Mercury at 9° Aries squares Saturn at 9° Saturn indicating sharp criticism and dissatisfaction.

The attentive reader may have noticed that the first week of April is actually marked by two planetary duos squaring each other: the Sun-Mercury conjunction (duo) squares the Mars-Saturn conjunction (duo) between 9°-12° cardinal signs.

Mercury stations around the April 15-16 New Moon at 4° Aries and turns direct again.
For Geminis and Virgos (and Gemini and Virgo Ascendants), this station may be welcome because it brings some forward movement in their lives.
It's time to make decisions more public but prepare for a highly busy and hectic period also.
This is the more so because Mercury's station happens around the April 15-16 New Moon which is conjunct disruptive and turbulent Uranus.
This can be a period of breakthroughs and brilliant, innovative ideas.
Venus at 20° Taurus opposes Jupiter at 20° Scorpio while Chiron enters Aries and Saturn stations and turns retrograde at 9° Capricorn around April 17.
Clearly, mid April is hectic to say the least...
The Venus-Jupiter opposition indicates happy moments, optimism and high hopes.
There is some over-indulgence noticeable and the need to gather and even merge with others and socialize.
Usually, when Saturn stations and turns backward, people from the past may enter your world again.
In the sign of the banking world, corporations and governments, this station of Saturn will redefine them.
Governments, the corporate and banking world, leaders of state and higher-ups may face or endure additional stress, trials and testing times during this backward motion of Saturn.
Security needs will be re-viewed and it's time to dig in the past.
The entry of Chiron into commanding and busy Aries will learn people to control aggressiveness (either of themselves or of others).
This entry marks an increased pushing through one's individuality, uninhibited self-expression and a strong need to overcome any obstacles.
The Vernal point or 0° Aries represents "the world at large" (the planet, humanity) and when Chiron, the maverick, hits this point, something is going to become visible, noticed and/or experienced worldwide.
Forget about Chiron being the wounded healer because you can do nothing with this meaning on a mundane level...
Chiron is a blend between Saturn and Uranus and reflects best the maverick and the non-conformist but also the one who opens doors (more correctly who cracks doors).
Where Chiron is, there can be resistance and tension on a mundane level, disputing rules and trying to break away to live its individuality AND unique self.
At 0° Aries, Chiron represents the adolescent crisis of "the world at large."
Chiron can be rule-breaking and manifesting in an irritating way.
Around April 18, the Sun and Uranus conjoin at 28° Aries, suggesting a shock experience.
The Sun enters inert and physical and material Taurus Around April 20.
There is some damage and/or financial expenses and some of you may have financial concerns.

Some cynism and sharp criticism mark this day.
You may feel dissatisfied.
The atmosphere is clouded.
Mars and Pluto conjoin at 21° Capricorn around April 26 resulting in a huge workload.
This combo is a violent one but also a very compulsive and insistent one.
There is huge willpower and an unflinching attitude and courage noticeable.
Generally speaking, May 3, May 10, May 22 and May 25 are less "lucky" days.
Try not to initiate any major projects on these dark, unfortunate, chaotic and empty days (no proposals, no marriages, no changes of residence,...) because things may not go as planned or wished.
Around April 30 - May 1 the Sun at 10° Taurus squares the mean Lunar Nodes, pointing to a very ego-driven period.
You don't want to give an inch and hold tight, not always realizing that stubborn self-serving behavior is not welcome.
Mercury at 21° Aries squares Pluto at 21° Capricorn around May 7.
This waxing square tries to manipulate with documents, communication and/or speeches in too forceful and fanatic a way.

Around the same day of May 7 Venus at 16° Gemini squares Neptune at 16° Pisces, suggesting imaginative (love) desires and unfulfilled love longings.
You may feel mesmerized by someone, may experience high love ideals and/or live a platonic bond with someone.
Often, there are hidden or secret affairs going on, or undisclosed love feelings.
Love and sacrifice go hand in hand and it may also indicate some connection between love and abuse or deceit.
Around May 8-9 the Sun at 18° Taurus opposes retrograde Jupiter at 18° Scorpio pointing to too high expectations, especially on a financial level (because the Taurus-Scorpio axis is above all a financial and/or economic axis).
For some, this aspect denotes bankruptcy while for others, it brings lots of income (money from others like inheritances, legacies, loans,...).
This aspect also suggests joy and the feeling that everything goes as it should.
Something unreal tends to be real, in a highly auspicious way.
Strong pride boosts the ego and (self-)image and there is no hesitation to exaggerate.
Also, it may happen that uncommon publicity is achieved, putting some of you in the lime light.
Around May 13 Mercury and Uranus conjoin at 29° Aries while at the same day, Mercury enters the fixed earth sign Taurus.
Mercury, the messenger brings surprising news, revealing documents or agreements regarding possessions, financial topics and/or economic deals.
The May 15 New Moon period is highly powerful and explosive with disruptive and surprising Uranus entering stable and inert Taurus, while impulsive Mars enters revolutionary and upsetting Aquarius (and thus also squares Uranus, its dispositor).
It looks like mid May brings a U-turn, the reversal of some existential situation.
Uranus still rules an air sign (Aquarius) and when this generational planet enters a sign it is incompatible with (Taurus is still an earth sign and air and earth don't blend at all), it will try to stir the pot abruptly and shake everything physical and material.
True, with the additional planets in the earth sign Capricorn (Saturn and Pluto), this additional move of rebel Uranus in another earth sign will bring ground-breaking experiences.
Earthquakes, earth-slides, mining disasters and everything related to the soil, ground or earth may be part of it.
Transiting Uranus will reside in Taurus till 2026.
Disrupting and shocking Uranus in materialistic and physical Taurus is surely going to bring HUGE EXISTENTIAL changes for the next years to come.
Expect sudden events and experiences that WILL bring you out of your comfort zone.
In the end, this transit will bring the opportunity to free yourself from materialistic shackles and it will bring drastic economic changes worldwide that will likely result in breaking up the chains of the current tyrannical materialistic (financial) system that is almost solely based upon dependence and debt (the so-called western debt-economy).
Uranus is too freedom-loving to get bound by a very physical and materialistic sign resulting in some heavy shake-ups...
Because Mars also enters the sign that is ruled by Uranus and Mars also squares its own dispositor (Uranus), Uranus becomes yet more powerful these days.
Mars, often representing the armed forces, is in a state of emergency.
Mid May is full of nervous tension and shocking events or experiences.
Realize though that any shock creates an awakening.
In other words, no awakening without a shock...
The waning Mars-Uranus square at 0° in a sign points to a revolution, a turning things upside down due do some rage or anger.
This is a very accident-prone aspect that often brings physical injuries.
Beware of airplane crashes or accidents now.
The hectic mid May period is confirmed and even reinforced by Mercury at 9° Taurus squaring the mean Lunar Nodes around May 19.
As usual, Mercury-Lunar Node aspects bring lots of nervousness, a busy atmosphere and lots of buzz.
Venus enters home-bound Cancer around the same day of May 19.
Now is a good time to do some home-decorating, make your home a cozy place.
In matters of love and romance, Venus is in a fluctuating sign denoting that love will have its ups and downs.
Around May 20-21 the Sun enters mutable Gemini, bringing the focus on documents, letters, messages and communication.
Chances are you will be more on the road, more on the move and/or take short trips.
Siblings enter your life (again) for the next days or weeks.
Mercury at 16° Taurus opposes retrograde Jupiter at 16° Scorpio around May 23.
This aspect is practical and the reasoning is quite down-to-earth.
Generally speaking, June 17 and June 30 are less "lucky" days.
Try not to initiate any major projects on these dark, unfortunate, chaotic and empty days (no proposals, no marriages, no changes of residence,...) because things may not go as planned or wished.
Around June 5-6 the Sun and Mercury conjoin at 15° Gemini while Venus at 20° Cancer opposes Pluto at 20° Capricorn.
The Sun-Mercury conjunction at a so-called "critical degree" points to talking and/or writing a lot.
There is a lot of communication going on, especially between (far-)distant places.
Also, some legal issues need to be addressed.
The lustful Venus-Pluto opposition indicates intense and often "fated" relationship issues.
Women should beware of the people (men) they meet now because, in some instances, dark, messy and/or tortuous relationships are in the air.
Intense and/or insatiable love bonds are best lived from a distance.
At 20° in cardinal signs, this opposition not only signifies unfulfilled passionate longings but it also reflects "dying love", a painful process of letting go and moving on.
Around the same day of June 6-7, both the Sun and Mercury at 16° Gemini square Neptune at 16° Pisces.
There are unfulfilled plans and/or some plans have to be canceled.
These can be very spiritual days, bringing lots of insight, but also beware of hoaxes, rumors, fake news and/or public disinformation and/or chaotic communication.
Beware of strikes and/or public transportation issues.
Mercury enters home-loving Cancer around June 12.
Information, talking and documents related to real estate, home and the family are an item.
Indeed, in home-loving Cancer, your mind (Mercury) is now focused on the domestic area.
Still around the same day of June 12-13, sociable Venus enters playful Leo, while Mars at 8° Aquarius opposes the mean North Node of the Moon.
Realize that the whole month of June, Mars opposes the Lunar North Node !
This is not a funny aspect for sure because any Mars-Lunar Node aspect is related to physical injuries affecting many.
There will be more shootings, more accidents and/or violence affecting the masses, more injuries affecting a group of people, more mass trouble...
Venus entering Leo, the zodiac sign reflecting creative self-expression, suggests the need to be in the center of attention.
There is some passionate involvement noticeable, resulting in more love drama as well.
Enjoy entertainment and also more party-time.
Around June 14-15 Venus at 1° Leo squares Uranus at 1° Taurus, suggesting love at first sight, enjoyable but short-lived encounters and nice presents.
This waxing square between attractive Venus and eye-opening Uranus can be flirtatious and experimental without any desire to bond.
Mercury, the messenger, at 6° Cancer opposes blocking Saturn at 6° Capricorn around the same days of June 15-16.
Any opposition to Saturn blocks, rejects, obstructs, and results in something that is "out of reach."
Hence, some messages, information, documents etc. may be blocked, may be out of reach, may not reach the destination, may be kept or held up, may be rejected, delayed or postponed.
Neptune at 16° Pisces stations and turns backward around June 18-19 resulting in (severe) disappointment(s).
Re-trograde Neptune is more re-alistic, more open and disclosing even though it's bringing delusion, confusion and chaos at its station.
So, better don't take any important decisions around Neptune's station.
Around June 20-21 the Sun enters home-loving Cancer while Venus opposes both the mean North Node of the Moon and Mars.
This is an emotional period during which issues about knowing boundaries pop up.
In some instances, these astrological configurations denote passion, irresistible physical attraction but in other instances, passions may result in harming others, or "the (significant) other."
These are accident-prone and quite violent configurations, the more so because Mars is still conjunct the Lunar South Node.
Any close Venus-Mars aspect may disrupt harmony and peace and cause more irritation, nervous tension, and crossing boundaries because of too impulsive behavior.
Around June 23, Mercury at 20° Cancer opposes Pluto at 20° Capricorn, suggesting annoyance, mental strain and fanaticism.
Though you may be highly convinced of your own "truth", obsessively and tenaciously clinging to it may not work.
Learning to compromise may be necessary, how difficult it may seem at times.
Venus at 13° Leo squares Jupiter at 13° Scorpio around June 25, suggesting some exaggeration in your love's desires.
Love knows no boundaries and there is a strong desire to please.
The waning Venus-Jupiter square in fixed signs often faces big (financial) expenses.
Fiery Mars at 9° Aquarius (an air sign) stations and turns retrograde around June 26, marking a period of frustration.
During its station, Mars become combative, especially in disruptive, rebellious and independent Aquarius.
This is the more so because there are currently 5 planets retrograde (Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune and Pluto).
When 5 or more planets are retrograde, events and experiences are marked by non-conformity, breaking rules, not plugging yourself in your social milieu/environment.
There is some hesitance and even resistance to comply and you may feel as if your life misses cohesion and/or direction.
You are too focused on your own life to pay attention to the sensibilities of others, giving others the impression you are rough or rude at times.
Also, when fiery, linear and impulsive Mars stations in the air sign Aquarius, the zodiac sign enhances the fiery character of its "resident" Mars (or to pose it in other words, fire and air combine well and produce hot air or steam), resulting in quick actions, a fast pace and everything that is based upon speed.
Anger is noticeable and not easily repressed just now.
Because Mars represents your energy level and work or activities, some of you may face more health issues during its station (especially when you are an Aries or have Aries rising in your horoscope) while others may be fired or change jobs.
Don't buy products with engines (like cars, motorcycles or machines etc.) during the station or when Mars is retrograde because the engine may be broken, or the product may be defective or not live up to the expectations.
We repeat that the whole month of June 2018 is under the influence of stationing Mars conjunct the South Node of the Moon.
When Mars stations and turns backward, it's closest to planet Earth and has a more powerful, intense and pronounced influence on our lives and the earth itself -- not always in the most comfortable way.
Volcanic eruptions are only one manifestation...
Around the June 28 Full Moon, the Sun at 5° Cancer opposes Saturn at 5° Capricorn, while Mercury enters Leo.
Here too, the opposition between the Sun and Saturn has a blocking, obstructing influence.
This aspect creates a distance, especially with a male person or a celebrity, CEO or higher-up.
The Sun-Saturn opposition is a separative and detached aspect and suggests a dismissal, a rejection and/or death.
Around June 30, Mercury at 1° Leo squares Uranus at 1° Taurus, indicating breaking and highly surprising news but also a new direction of thought and thinking differently.
Opinions and available information change abruptly.
Generally speaking, July 19, July 22 and July 28 are less "lucky" days.
Try not to initiate any major projects on these dark, unfortunate, chaotic and empty days (no proposals, no marriages, no changes of residence,...) because things may not go as planned or wished.
Around July 4 Mercury conjoins the mean Lunar North Node at 7° Leo.
Usually, contacts between Mercury and the Lunar Nodes indicate a very busy time with lots of buzz, movement, nervous tension.
Around the same day of July 5, Mercury at 8° Leo opposes Mars at 8° Aquarius suggesting (physical) injuries, most often because of traffic and/or transportation accidents, cuts and wounds.
Also, harsh and sharp speeches should be avoided.
Communication can be decisive and combative with possible arguments as a result.
Around July 9 Mercury at 13° Leo squares Jupiter at 13° Scorpio, pointing to unreliable communication and/or information.
Negligence, carelessness and irresponsibility are noticeable.
This waning square in fixed signs is not always honest so beware of disappointments, the more so because you may have the wrong faith or feel the victim of people who know how to "sell" stuff.
The attentive reader will have noticed that when transiting Mercury first opposed Mars and after that squared Jupiter between the period of July 5-9, Jupiter must be the apex planet of a T-square in fixed signs.
The apex planet Jupiter in Scorpio suggests that during the 2nd week of July, dogmatic and opinionated theories become apparent.
In this position, Jupiter's sense of rightness becomes rather intolerant and willful.
Because Jupiter stations and turns direct around July 10, the influence of this T-square will become very noticeable.
Jupiter rules legal affairs, increasing the odds of some legal issues (about fraud, financial issues or issues of abuse) emerging again.
Around the same day of July 10 Venus enters Virgo, the sign of its detriment.
In modest and subordinate Virgo, Venus loves kindness.
In discriminating Virgo, Venus is also critical and loves tiny objects.
Love may be found at the working floor as long as Venus resides in this sign of your working environment.
Venus is now about to trine Uranus and Saturn, building a Grand Trine in Earth signs.
For the coming days, this Grand Earth Trine may bring some financial stress and tension.
Because Venus not only rules money or cash but also relationships (in the widest sense), lots of relationships or partnerships tend to experience some stress and nervous tension as well.
Some couples will break-up or consider living separately.
The nervous tension will dissipate after mid July.
Mars at 6° Aquarius opposes the mean North Node of the Moon around July 18.
We mentioned it in our June forecasts already, during these mid-year months, Mars is closest to the earth, has its most powerful influence on our lives and creates a lingering conjunction with the Lunar South Node, which is a violent and "bloody" combo.
Mars and the Lunar Nodes together always denote mass events with casualties, physical injuries and the like.
During the powerful and separative Solar Eclipse, this Mars-Lunar Node combo does not bode well and reinforces mass tragedies.
Around July 22 the Sun enters its own sign Leo suggesting more self-consciousness but also a more playful attitude.
Venus at 16° Virgo opposes Neptune at 16° Pisces Around July 24.
Venus-Neptune oppositions reflect a dissolving bond, a beloved one who is absent and/or a relationship lived in a platonic way.
The day after, around July 25 the Sun at 2° Leo squares Uranus at 2° Taurus suggesting rebellious traits.
This waxing square in which the Sun is the stronger because it's in its own sign Leo, reflects the fight between an autocrat (the Sun) and a democrat (Uranus).
It denotes dissatisfaction with groups or societies that one wants to reform; resulting in protest and tension.
Around July 26, Mercury stations and turns retrograde at 23° Leo.
Mercury's station affects Geminis and Virgos (and Gemini and Virgo Ascendants) most and may bring some restrictions, some minor health issues and things not going always as expected.
As usual, postpone taking important decisions till Mercury turns direct again, around August 19, and if possible after it passed its shadow side around September 3.
Interestingly, during this month of August, there are no midpoint stations of outer planets going on.
Generally speaking, August 1, 17, 21, 22 and 29 are less "lucky" days.
Try not to initiate any major projects on these dark, unfortunate, chaotic and empty days (no proposals, no marriages, no changes of residence,...) because things may not go as planned or wished.
Around August 6-7 Venus enters its own sign Libra while the Sun at 14° Leo squares Jupiter at 14° Scorpio.
In its own sign Libra, Venus enjoys social events and gatherings.
You may encounter new people around these days and build brand new relationships and even partnerships.
Signing contracts may be another outcome.
The waning Sun-Jupiter square in fixed signs wants to "keep up appearances."
This aspect is above all about (self-)overestimation and ballooning behavior.
Around August 7 Uranus at 2° Taurus stations and turns retrograde.
Don't take sudden decisions just now even though the urge to create change is emphasized.
Stationing Uranus almost always brings some disruptions, breaking news about weird or peculiar events that are at times out of the ordinary indeed.
Retrograde Uranus can be as eccentric as it is in direct motion but because it's closer to the earth, it will tend to be less individualistic and more humanistic.
Usually, retrograde Uranus is interested in medicine and it's to be expected that some medical or scientific breakthroughs or discoveries are announced around its station.
The Sun and Mercury conjoin at 16° Leo around August 8-9, suggesting love talks or talks about children.
Around August 9-10 Venus at 3° Libra squares Saturn at 3° Capricorn denoting a lack of affection and/or increased financial concerns.
The atmosphere is clouded and you feel sad.
Some of you may mourn a beloved one.
Around August 11, Mercury at 14° Leo squares Jupiter at 14° Scorpio while a Solar Eclipse at 18° Leo builds up.
The Mercury-Jupiter square in fixed signs points to an obstinate "big mouth."
Bluff, tall stories and sweeping statements are not uncommon under this transit.
The Solar Eclipse at 18° Leo belongs to the 2 New North Saros Cycle.
According to researcher and astrologer Bernadette Brady, this Solar Eclipse is about a sudden collapse of plans or life-styles.
Confusion may reign and after the dust has settled, the rebuilding will have far-reaching effects.
The bottom line of this eclipse series is a change in your personal direction through the sudden collapse of an existing structure.
Know that an eclipse works out within six months so that its effect will not always be noticeable or visible instantly.
Around August 12-13 (retrograde) Mars re-enters Capricorn resulting in some crisis or emergency situation that will need the intervention of the armed forces around these days.
Expect some turbulent and disruptive days, full of changes of course.
During the August 26 Full Moon, Venus at 19° Libra squares Pluto at 19° Capricorn.
This waning square points to sacrifice in the name of "love", which also suggests playing a victim-role.
Any Venus-Pluto square points to intense relationships, insatiability, avarice, jealousy and/or messy love affairs.
Beauty regeneration or transformation like cosmetic surgery may be part of the current configuration.
Mars stations at 28° Capricorn and turns direct again around August 27.
Finally, due to this station Mars starts to slowly distance itself from the Earth again.
Your energy level is slowly increasing and you feel more and more prepared to tackle issues openly and actively.
Don't be too rash and impulsive though and try to control anger.
Due to the station at 28° Capricorn, love affairs my pop up as well and women should now be beware of an increased chance of rape and/or physical abuse.
Following astrometeorology, the heatwave and drought will slowly start to dissipate.
Around the same days of August 27-28, Mercury at 16° Leo squares Jupiter at 16° Scorpio for the 2nd time this month.

Around September 6, Mercury enters its own sign Virgo while Saturn stations at 2° Capricorn and turns direct again.
In its own sign, Mercury tends to ponder and becomes analytical.
The focus is on the minutest details and doing menial tasks in the best possible way.
Documents related to work and/or health mark these days.
Because of stationing Saturn, governments, the corporate and banking world are in the spotlight.
In restrictive and security-oriented Capricorn, Saturn reinforces traditional, conservative values and tenaciously holding to these concepts.
Moreover, strict regulations, censorship and setting boundaries and the fear to lose control prevail.
Beware of falls and physical restrictions as well as falling structures, collapses, downfalls etc. during Saturn's station.
Stationing Saturn in its own sign Capricorn is "known" for its crumbling effect...
The Sun at 15° Virgo opposes Neptune at 15° Pisces around September 7, suggesting the disappearing, dismissal, leaving or fleeing of a man.
Because 15° Virgo-Pisces is a rather passive and helpless degree, expect some chaotic situations and confusion.
You don't have anything under control just now.
Beware of (food) poisoning, chemical reactions to medication, drugs or chemical and/or toxic stuff as well.
Moreover, some of you may experience water-related issues (floods, inundations, etc.).
Venus at 29° Libra squares Mars at 29° Capricorn around September 8, suggesting a very accident-prone period.
This is a period during which setting boundaries is an issue and people tend to clash and bump into each other all too easily.
Hence, this waning square marks disputes and relationship break-ups that are likely to increase from the 2nd week of September till late September.
This is the more so because a Grand Square in fixed signs between the Lunar Nodes, Uranus, Mars and Venus (though released by Saturn) is active now as well.
Around the September 9 New Moon, Venus enters intense Scorpio, the sign of its detriment.
During this entrance, Venus is at the gates of death, pointing to regeneration (to revamp a situation clear out and start over).
Some of you may swap lovers.
Also, expect a change in the weather pattern.
Mars re-enters Aquarius around September 10-11, indicating a crisis situation, an emergency because of a sudden and unexpected turn of events.
There can be quite some restlessness and tension these days, disrupting the harmony.
Chances are there can be heavy winds and even storm here and there.
Around September 13-14, Mercury at 14° Virgo opposes Neptune at 14° Pisces while Venus at 3° Scorpio squares the mean Lunar Nodes.
This period too is confusing and may indicate water-related issues (floods, inundations, and the like).
The atmosphere is humid, foggy and you can't see things properly.
You can be more on your own and even prefer solitude.
Around September 18-19, Mars at 1° Aquarius squares Uranus at 1° Taurus, which is a very unsettling aspect (the more so because Mars aspects its own dispositor).
This aspect reinforces aggression, irritation, accidents and reactions out of fear.
Some of you may feel rejected or fired, dismissed.
Hence, this aspect often results in a lonely feeling.
Beware of physical injuries.
The Sun and Mercury conjoin at 28° Virgo around September 20-21, suggesting weakness as a result of toxic or chemical substances.
In some instances, the influence of medication, drugs or alcohol influences your way of thinking.
There can be confusion over (the authenticity of) some documents.
Mercury enters peaceful Libra around September 21-22.
Negotiating goes best these days, unlike decision-making because you now lack decisive power to do so.
Mars at 2° Aquarius opposes the mean Lunar North Node at 2° Leo around September 22, indicating a period of "bloody" mass events and/or accidents causing lots of physical injuries or even casualties.

The waning Mercury-Saturn square suggests a somber, cloudy and overcast atmosphere.
You may feel a bit down and serious though.
Your mind is spinning around and pondering.
Some sad news marks the day.
Around the September 25 Full Moon, the Sun at 2° Libra squares Saturn at 2° Capricorn.
This waning aspect blocks creative self-expression and can be quite strict (the more so because Saturn is extremely powerful in its own sign).
Whatever you want to create, whatever you want to express, is shut off, blocked or restricted by the government, by a parent, by "an authority" of some kind.
Actually, Saturn is the apex planet (very powerful in its own sign Capricorn) of a T-square which involves the Full Moon (Sun-Moon opposition).
Such a Full Moon, which always has to do with increased publicity, things coming out into the open, suggests separation, break-ups, sadness, hesitation and loneliness.
If you are born around January 21-22, February 20-21, March 22-23, April 22-23, May 23-24, June 23-24, July 25, August 25-26, September 25-26, October 25-26, November 24-25 or December 24, you may feel the influence of this Full Moon particularly well.
Generally speaking, October 3, 6 and 11 are less "lucky" days.
Try not to initiate any major projects on these dark, unfortunate, chaotic and empty days (no proposals, no marriages, no changes of residence,...) because things may not go as planned or wished.
News about a separation is especially likely because around October 2-3 Mercury at 18° Libra squares stationing Pluto at 18° Capricorn.
This waning square suggests protests, the news of a death, (mental) restlessness, vexation, frustration and anger.
There can be lots of talks, shouting, rage and a fighting spirit.
This waning aspect too is connected to the uncovering of fraud often.
Following astrometeorology, when Mercury squares stationing Pluto, chances are strong winds and even storm with heavy rain is part of the days.
Stationing Pluto in the earth sign Capricorn may as well rock the earth crust, increasing the likelihood of earthquakes, earth shocks, volcanic and other earth-related activity this month.
Around October 5, Venus, planet of relationships and harmony, stations at 10° Scorpio, the sign of its detriment, and turns retrograde.
Retrograde Venus marks a time of re-considering, often indicating the "falling out of love", more enjoying and re-discovering one's self.
It is not recommended to buy anything expensive during the retrograde motion because the value of the purchase will remain below the expectations.
Also, in matters of love and romance, it happens frequently that you meet a lover or beloved one from the past.
Reconciliations can happen during the retrograde motion of Venus.
It is not recommended to start a totally new relationship when Venus is retrograde because you will reconsider when Venus turns direct again and raises your "love consciousness."
Retrograde Venus is less interested in romance and more focused on money or material goods, especially when Venus is in Scorpio, the sign of the others' money (loans, debt, taxes, stock markets...).
Also, retrograde Venus increases creativity and any artistic project can now be envisioned.
If you are Libra or Taurus, you may not feel too well around the station.
Things don't go as planned or envisioned and you better take it easy.
If your Ascendant is Aries or Scorpio, your partner may withdraw, be more on him- or herself, feel ill or face some setbacks.
Around the October 9-10 New Moon, Mercury enters investigative Scorpio and is currently at the so-called "gates of death."
Following mundane astrology, when Mercury, significator of commerce, traffic and transportation, is at 0° Scorpio, car, bus and transportation accidents happen frequently, leaving many casualties.

There is mental strain and an increased change of traffic accidents and physical injuries (cuts and wounds).
Around October 26 the Sun and Venus conjoin at 3° Scorpio.
Venus is now fully involved in the mentioned T-square and the last week of October is clearly all about a change of residence (for the better), a move, home beautification, doing home improvements, to make home a cozy place.
Because Venus is the general significator of relationships, for some of you, a (secret) love affair may be part of the Full Moon period.
Anyway, the degree area of 3° Scorpio is a very fortunate one and denotes new possibilities, changes for the better and even a feeling of abundance.
Mercury and Jupiter conjoin at 27° Scorpio around October 29.
This is a very uplifting conjunction, presenting good news, promotions, successful agreements, favorable legal documents and news showing progress.
Around October 30 Venus at 0° Scorpio squares the mean Lunar Nodes, denoting that there is a T-square active the last week of October between the Venus-Uranus opposition and the Lunar North Node (being the apex point).
This is a very exciting T-square as it indicates social gatherings, exciting but short-lived encounters and/or attractions, love at first sight, receiving nice gifts or presents...
Some of you will start a (love) relationship over or swap lovers.
Around October 31 Mercury enters Sagittarius, the sign of its detriment while Venus regresses into the late Libra degrees where it feels better again because it feels at home again in its own sign.
In Sagittarius, Mercury wanders around, makes many short trips.
The downside is being lost in a larger whole and not fully seeing things in perspective but there is more optimism and generosity.
Generally speaking, November 12 is less "lucky" a day.
Try not to initiate any major projects on this dark, unfortunate, chaotic and empty day (no proposals, no marriages, no changes of residence,...) because things may not go as planned or wished.
Around the November 7 New Moon retrograde Uranus (re-)enters Aries.
A planetary ingress during a Moon phase often marks a drastic change in the weather pattern.

Speed remains important for both Aries and Uranus so that unexpected advances in technology are on the agenda again.
The downside is that Uranus in Aries is accident-prone.
This New Moon period is particularly nice on a personal level, sociable with good cheer shared with others.
Jupiter enters its own sign Sagittarius around this New Moon period on November 8.
For the coming months, international or foreign affairs, increased optimism and renewed hope mark the world.
It's likely people will travel more and educational topics will be discussed more often.
Jupiter in its own sign Sagittarius is outdoorsy and loves to be out into the open.
It has a strong faith and high ideals that cannot always be materialized though.
However, during this New Moon, Jupiter's entrance in Sagittarius also points to religious issues and massive corruption or fraud in whatever field.
Issues about religion, ideology and power abuse often coincide when Jupiter in its own sign clashes with Neptune in its own sign.
This is the more so because Jupiter is now in a square by sign with Neptune in its own sign Pisces and will build a square by aspect with Neptune in 2019.
Around November 15-16, Mars enters silent and secret Pisces while the mean North Node of the Moon goes from Leo into Cancer.
Active Mars in secretive Pisces creates chaos and confusion.
There is too much going on behind the scenes and the only thing you see is the smoke curtain.
Mars in Pisces is very elusive and is the proverbial sniper, people acting undercover and difficult to get hold of.
0° Pisces is a very dissolving degree and water-related as well (after all, water is a solvent...).
Mars in Pisces has always something to hide; so, beware of things going on behind your back.
The entrance of the mean Lunar North Node in Cancer emphasizes the domestic area, real estate as well as patriotism.
With the North Node of the Moon in Cancer and the South Node of the Moon in the opposite sign Capricorn for months to come, parental issues may gain more attention as well as the crumbling and restructuring of governments, the banking and corporate world.
Currently at 29° Cancer, the Lunar North Node may indicate some chaotic living circumstances.
Venus turns direct again at 25° Libra around November 16 while Mercury stations and turns retrograde at 13° Sagittarius around November 16-17.
While the Sun signs Taurus and Libra (and the Taurus and Libra Ascendants) may rejoice the Venus station, Geminis and Virgos (and the Gemini and Virgo Ascendants) may experience some mishaps now.
Direct Venus in its own sign Libra is sociable and interested in other people, relating, socializing.
Due to Venus changing direction, financial concerns develop into relationship concerns.
Stationing Mercury in the sign of its detriment is easily overwhelmed by the many options.
If you are Sagittarius or Pisces (or have Sagittarius or Pisces on the Ascendant), your partner may feel ill, be absent or withdraw one way or the other.
Usually, Mercury's station marks a period of possible strikes.
During its station, especially in the sign of its detriment, Mercury commits lots of errors and tends to vent incorrect information.
Communication issues may happen frequently and hoaxes prevail.
Around November 20, Mars at 2° Pisces squares Jupiter at 2° Sagittarius.
This waxing square in which Jupiter is the stronger and most powerful of the two, suggests legal actions, a fighting spirit and pushing through idealistic ambitions.

Following astrometeorology, stationing Neptune often brings lots of rain.
Around November 25-26 the Sun and Jupiter meet at 3° Sagittarius while retrograde Mercury at 6° Sagittarius squares Mars at 6° Pisces.
These configurations point to talks, getting the word out, propagating, educating, teaching.
However, during discussions, the message may get lost or may not get approval.
Additionally, around November 27, the Sun and retrograde Mercury first conjoin at 5° Sagittarius and later on that day retrograde Mercury conjoins Jupiter at 4° Sagittarius.
These are very talkative configurations, also showing a positive outlook.
Mercury enters Sagittarius, the sign of its detriment around December 12-13.
As long as Mercury, the messenger, resides in the sign of foreign affairs, foreign countries, legal affairs, publicity and religious topics, you can expect to hear more about these in the news.
