Pisces season is coming to an end soon. Not only Pisces season, but the whole zodiac cycle ends on March 20. There is a reason why Pisces season is the last of the zodiac signs. The zodiac cycle of seasons (Aries-Pisces) goes right along with nature’s seasons (Spring-Winter) and the cycles of our lives. Just like fiery Aries represents the beginning of a new cycle and brings us Spring, dreamy Pisces represents the beautiful ending of a cycle of the zodiacs. A little bit of reflecting should be going on here around this time, wrapping up the year, and revelations come to light. Let’s take a deeper dive into this sign and why it’s special.
Aquarius, the water bearer, in astronomy is a constellation lying right between Capricornus and Pisces. Aquarius is also the 11th house ruler in astrology. The Aquarius season runs from January 20-February 19 and is represented by the picture of a woman or man pouring out water. This may be because back in ancient times, these dates coincided with a time of great rain and floods.
Aquarius is ruled by Saturn and Uranus. It’s element is Air. Aquarius is a fixed sign, which just means that they are a little set in their ways. The birthstone is an amethyst and the turquoise blue and silver are representative of the zodiac sign. They are represented by the tarot card, the star. Just a little background into them, but each zodiac is unique and this is what makes the Aquarius one of a kind.
We have an archetype for each zodiac sign and we call the Aquarius “The Rebel” because they do their own thing. They are not worried too much what others think of how they do things. The have a vision that leads them. Aquarians can be seen as original, independent, loving, and humane. In this day and age, it’s almost rebellious to be those things!
The Aquarius needs no one and can be seen as emotionally unattached by some, but they are just thinking way bigger than we are! Even though Saturn did rule Aquarius many years ago, Uranus is now the modern ruler of Aquarius and Uranus governs societies, clubs, and any group based on humanitarian or progressive ideals. Uranus, the planet of sudden and unexpected changes, rules freedom and originality. In society, it rules radical ideas and people, as well as revolutionary events that upset established structures. Uranus is also associated with Wednesday, alongside Mercury. Uranus screams revolution and social justice and the Aquarius person has a slight rebellious nature to them and they have an inclination to use it for the betterment of society.
Aquarius is a rare sign. It is the sign that has the least folks, with Scorpio being the most frequent sign. As a zodiac sign, Aquarius rules technology, the internet, space travel, astrology and the human collective. They are forward thinkers and will always push beyond the norms. At the end of the day, the Rebel is usually a pleasant person who just wants to save the world. They have a love for life and all it has to offer. They represent the future. If you want to tap into your inner Aquarius, try their blend here.

This Full Moon on November 19th is referred to as the Beaver Moon. It is called this because around this time of the year, beavers would start to take shelter in their lodges and store food for the winter coming. It was also the time to trap beavers back in the fur trade days. We still call all the Full Moons by the name that originated from Native American terms they were given. They had meanings associated with each month's full moon. The November Full Moon is the Beaver Moon. What makes this special is that it has a partial lunar eclipse attached to it. This is the last lunar eclipse of 2021.
The Full Moon will land in Taurus on November 19, 2021. This full moon is also a partial lunar eclipse. Even though it is technically a "partial" eclipse, it is just 3% shy of being 100%. It also happens to be the longest lunar eclipse in the last 1000 years. It will last just over six hours from start to finish. The reason for this is the moon will be at the furthest point from Earth. This makes the process longer. The good news is that we will be able to see most of this eclipse in North America. It will take place at 3:57am so you may want to check it out the prior evening, on the 18th to see the beginnings of it. It can also be seen from South America, Australia, and parts of Europe and Asia.
This Full Moon eclipse is will be followed by the last eclipse of 2021, a solar eclipse on December 4th. That is two eclipses in a matter of a few weeks. Not only that, but this is a follow up to the Taurus eclipse in May 2021 and there will be an eclipse in Taurus May 2022. This eclipse is actually part of a tetrad. This is four strong eclipses back to back. This is only partial, but like I said earlier, it is 97% a full on eclipse, so it can be considered a tetrad by many. What changes or revelations are being shown to you? What are you doing to change your life for the better? This is Scorpio season so transformations are a theme. The Moon is opposite Scorpio and at 27 degrees in Taurus. Not only this, but Mercury and Mars are also in Scorpio right along the Sun.
This eclipse will open up a smaller picture of what is to come in 2022/23. There will also be eclipses in Scorpio and Taurus coming up next year. Whatever seeds are planted now will see the light coming up in 2022 so be intentional and pray for the change needed. The key is you must take actions to start that transformation process. The theme with Taurus is security, home, finances, and your self-worth. This is really a special time. You may feel clarity with your situations. Rest and relax and take it all in. Write in your journal and document what it is you are working on for 2022. Follow back up when December 4th rolls around and we have the solar eclipse. This will close out a cycle of Gemini and Sagittarius eclipses that have happened last year and earlier in 2021. This is a special Full Moon and it has ties to the past and the future. Deep dive into what it means to you!

The Moon phases calendar tells us the cycle of the moon, from a new moon to a full moon and back again. The phases of the moon depend on whether it is illuminated or not by the sun. Partial shadow obscures the light which falls onto one side of the Moon. The shadows cast by an irregular lunar surface result in strange and fantastic shapes. The different phases we will talk about briefly are the New Moon, Full Moon, the 1 quarter Moon and hit on waning and waxing so you know what is going on in the sky at all times.
A new moon is the time when it is between the earth and the sun. It's too dark to see, but it's shape can be seen with a telescope because the sunlight reflects off of it towards us. A crescent looks like a thin slice or part of a circle. The best time to see its crescent shape is when the moon is low on the western horizon, just after sunset.A new moon occurs when the Moon is directly between Earth and the Sun, with Earth in between them. This means that the side that we can see is completely dark because we are not seeing sunlight reflect off of it.
'New Moon' can be the beginning of something new, but you don't know how it will end up like a new relationship, or a new job. This is a good time to schedule "new" things. Starting off on a good note can really give it that extra boost of luck you need.
A first quarter Moon happens when the sun is directly behind Earth, so half of the moon's face appears lit up. Because of this, we can see about 50% of the visible surface area that is exposed to us on Earth. The name 'first quarter' means that we are a quarter of the way through the original cycle, or about 3/4 of the way down (since it's a quarter and not halfway).
A first quarter moon is a half circle and looks like a semicircle. The best time to see it is an hour or so after sunset because at that time we are seeing it as it would look in profile with one side illuminated by the sun.
A waning gibbous moon is about half of a circle. We can see that it's getting smaller each night because its not completely round. A waning moon is when the moon gets smaller and smaller each night because it's moving away from us. But instead of one side always being lit like a full moon, we can see some parts of the dark side at the end of the night. The best time to see it is after midnight when it's high in the sky.
A waxing gibbous moon is when the Moon gets larger and larger each night because it's getting closer to us. It's about three-fourths of a circle, which means that only one side will be completely lit up by the Sun as seen from Earth.
A full moon occurs when the Moon is directly opposite the Sun, with Earth in between. This means that the side of the moon facing us will be completely bright because we are seeing sunlight reflect off of it. Full moons occur at a specific time of day and on a specific date. A full moon is when the sun shines on the whole side facing us. The best time to see it is an hour or so after sunset, but this time it's not low on the horizon-it's high in the sky.

Welcome to a new post about the upcoming New Moon in Libra on October 6th, 2021. The astrological facts about this phase are interesting and have amazing benefits for your life. Read below to find out more about it!
Did you know that the term "New Moon" comes from the moon being in conjunction with the Sun? This is because at this time, there are no other celestial bodies between Earth and the New Moon. The start of a new 28 day cycle is starting. This will occur on October 6th at 7:05 AM ET/4:05 AM PST. New Moon phases bring about new beginnings and clear the way for a fresh start, but this one is smack dab in the middle of Mercury Retrograde. This can cause communications to get misinterpreted and cause misunderstandings. Also, Mars is conjunct this New Moon as well. This can cause passions to run high and rationale to fall to the wayside. Triggers and revenge can be a theme at this time. Be careful with the situations you find yourself in. If it seems off, leave! Staying home or at a safe place is best for this Moon.
At a new phase of the moon, Libra zodiac sign people feel empowered to put their ideas into action. The New Moon in Libra will come with many benefits to your life including empowerment, balance, peace or harmony. You can also expect to enjoy some time alone for rest and reflection on what you want out of your relationships. It has the power to affect your relationships. Venus rules relationships and Venus rules Libra. This is a wonderful time to get real with yourself about what you really want from a relationship.
The New Moon in Libra is also a great time to gain clarity on how you feel about yourself and your life. Balance and taking time for self-care is a Libra theme here. It's an excellent opportunity for personal growth as well as taking steps towards achieving those goals that matter most to you. The key here is to get real about what you want to happen over the next six months. Six months is when the corresponding Full Moon in Libra will happen. This will bring this cycle to a head. Make sure you have a goal and action plan of what you want to happen in your life over the next six months. Every New Moon should have new actions that you want to start on. The best time to start on your goals is during the waxing time leading into the next Full Moon later this month on October 20th.
Let's talk about the other aspects that make this New Moon so unique. Mercury, Uranus, Neptune, Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto are all in a retrograde phase right now. This may have you feeling stagnant or themes from the past may be coming back up now. Also a Mars quincunx Uranus will have you feeling impatient and impulsive. If you feel this way, knowing it is the phase of the Moon and the aspects is reassuring. Just remove yourself from any situations that can have negativity attached to them. Along with the retrogrades, the Mars Uranus aspect can bring about serious themes of destruction and anger. Things could go wrong when you are in situations that can trigger you. The good news is that Pluto goes direct 7 hours after the New Moon occurs. So right after the New Moon, a feeling of renewal will follow. This is a transformative time. Use it wisely! The best thing to do is focus on the better aspects of Libra at this time. Beauty, relationships, love and balance. Here are some things that you can do to stay calm and set intentions for the future. Also, be grateful for the current moments of clarity.
Thanks so much for your time and I hope you have a lovely New Moon in Libra. Be sure to leave your comments below! Thank you so much for reading my post today and I hope that all your dreams come true!

As the Summer comes to an end this month and Fall is ushered in, we first welcome the New Moon in Virgo to start it off right! The New Moon lands in Virgo on September 6th at 8:52 pm EST. New Moons are known to bring in the new, and wipe the slate clean, but this New Moon is really a special one. The aspects that are forming with this moon are what really will bring about the change that you need to move forward with your goals and dreams. The key to this is writing them down. When you do that one act, you solidify your thoughts to become your reality.
New Moons are the time when you can start fresh. Wipe the slate clean and start over. It is a great time to write your plans down. If you want to start a new job, a new relationship, or a new way of living, the new moon is the time to start over. New moon blessings are very well and alive for this Virgo New Moon. This is true for all the signs. Not only will the seasons change in September, but your life and future plans will as well. Virgo energy is very organized and deliberate. What you choose to focus on now is so important at this time.
Wishes for all things Virgo at this time are at the top of the wish list. Careers, your daily routines, health, success, and even pets are the hot topics when it comes to Virgo. Virgo rules the sixth house, so focusing on these things for your New Moon wishes will result in changes for the better in these parts of life. If you have been wanting to start that health regimen, new job, or get your life organized, now is the time. Let's talk more about why this New Moon is so special.
These triple blessings are here for you to tap into at this time. When we talk about aspects of this New Moon coming up, you can probably already feel the energy in the air. When the moon lands in Virgo, it will bring upon several positive aspects. The Sun and Moon are working together in Virgo and trine Uranus. Then there is Mars, which trines Pluto. And last but not least, Jupiter trine Venus. All of these aspects are trines, which are all harmonious, easy-going aspects. These aspects are good for all signs and will be felt mostly by people with Earth signs at 14 degrees. Let's take a deeper dive into these aspects and what they mean.
Mars sits in Virgo, right along with the Sun and the Moon. Mars has an energy that gets you moving physically and energetically. The trine with Pluto sets you on a new direction in life. Pluto is known for it's transformational energy and this trine will transform you starting in your everyday life. You will start to take action to transform yourself physically and emotionally. You will let go of things that are associated with your old self. Letting go is easier and you will realize what matters and what your soul calling is. Mars will set you into action to get your money, daily life, and goals on the path for success. Self care and daily routines will be at the forefront of change. Virgo is very practical and these changes will start small and carry into your everyday lives. Over time, it will be a big change to your life. You will take action to change yourself for the better. Plant those seeds and start changing your actions to match your dreams.
Uranus, the planet of surprise trines the Sun and Moon in Virgo. You will more than likely experience a spark of brilliance in the area where you have Virgo in your chart. This aspect has a very healing energy to it. Seed planting is key here. All the ideas that you have that seem great, write them down. You may experience breakthroughs and get inspirations for your future. This seed planting will be felt and seen for months to come. Write your ideas down and follow up on them. This is the aspect where manifestations start. Expect changes or surprises, but they will be there to send you on your future path. Be aware of all that is going on. It is all important at this time.
Jupiter, the planet of expansion is in a harmonious trine with Venus, the planet of love and relationships. This can expand your money, love, and mindset. You may see a change for the better in your relationships, self-care and money situations. Even your support system will be expanded. You can expand your horizons in the love category. New relationships can be forming here, whether that be in work or play. Lots of inspiration for the future ahead. With your new mindset and support, this is a good time for success. Make sure not to over do it. With Jupiter, too much can be a theme as well. Things can be taken too far. Balance is key here. Make sure not to get carried away.
All of this energy screams CHANGES! You are shifting your timeline. You are healing and aware of what needs to change. Not only that, you are taking action to make the changes. Things seem focused and you are clearer on what direction you are going. This is a really good time to manifest what you really want. Just make sure you are ready for what you ask for!

As the seasons change, the skies do too. Expect more changes than cooler air this September. Prepare for a much needed wake up call, especially with a New Moon in Virgo on September 6th. As a collective, we are being given a chance to get it together for real this time, from the Universe. Virgo brings us closer to our best selves, by going within thinking and healing. Virgo season is the perfect time to work towards attaining success. Whatever this means to you in terms of love, life, or career, embrace the present and make way for the new.
Aries’ usual impulsive nature may take a step to the side this month. Your ruling planet of Mars will transition into Libra mid-month, meaning meditation and peace. Your approach may lean towards fair and balanced over competitive. As a result, indecision may be thrown into the mix. Pay attention to nurturing your friendships, relationships, and partnerships. And take some time to reflect on the most important question this month: how can you show up for others?
Like the stubborn bulls, Taurus can be hesitant to the rapid change occurring this season. Virgo's New Moon invites Taurus to step into their best self. Taurus will experience great creativity this New Moon. With your fifth house being illuminated, use this time to enjoy where you are and knowing where you are headed with confidence! Use your power of knowing to go for it. Whatever that is to you. Taurus, be bold and direct with what you want to gain from the world.
This new moon, Geminis should take care to use their communication and expression to benefit themselves. Your ruling planet of Mercury is moving over into Libra, so beware of remaining on the fence about ideas. Mediation, on the other hand, this may help you accomplish stronger connections with your friendships by resolving issues and fixing up severed ties. You may be able to thrive in work-life better as well if you examine how others respond to you.
Lean into your intuition this month, Cancers. This means listening to your emotions, whatever they may be. As a water sign, your ability to feel out people and situations is perhaps your strongest ability. This New Moon in Virgo will allow you to trust your personal power more effectively. You know what you need to do. Make those lists and start checking those important things off. Set positive intentions for how you’d like to show up in this new awakening period you are experiencing.
Leos should get to know themselves from the outside during this period. You may have the urge to speak your mind first, but tune in within the New Moon in Virgo. This is giving you a chance to think before you speak, and you may be surprised at the resounding results you come across. An excellent way to do this is to take a pen and paper and write out all thoughts that come to mind judgment-free. When you read it over, look for the repetitive thoughts that come across.
Dear Virgo, a new transformative period can be stressful and overwhelming. Mercury is stepping out of your home sign and into Libra. This energy may leave you feeling frustrated with others or drained at the amount of work you’ve been putting in. Trust that the Universe notes all of your efforts. Take care to embrace that change can be a good thing. Try to flock towards sociability. This New Moon will be a great time for Virgos to make plans to get reach their goals, no matter how big they are!
If you’re a Libra, this is a busy month energetically. The shiny glamour of Libra in Venus will trickle away as your ruling planet moves into Scorpio. Love may become much more introspective and contemplative. Communication, as ruled by Mercury, also enters Libra for the entirety of the month. Communication may be much more flirtatious, and suitors will likely come towards you on a grander scale. Mars also enters Libra on September 14th, allowing you a superpower of relaxing others in your company.
Love is in your court! Venus enters Scorpio on September 10th, which means your intensity for love will be electrically charged. You might find yourself gravitating towards an intimate lover who will remain fully committed to you. With the Virgo New Moon heading into your 11th house, networking and meeting new people that can turn into friends or more is very strong. Business or pleasure, be on your best behavior to win over the situation at hand.
Sagittarius should strive to be more in tune with their success. If you haven’t been doing so hot in an area of your life, look how you can improve. With luck on your side, you’ll be able to advance in your work life. Your spirituality and career may be a strong point for you this month as Virgo's determined nature is in full effect. On the night of the New Moon, center yourself with meditation and a cleansing bath. Focus on the goals at hand and make sure to hold yourself accountable for achieving them. Using candles and prayer, be ready to receive your wishes.
Capricorns are analytical and reflective of their lives, which will intensify as the New Moon in Virgo approaches. This sign would do well to clear away anything that no longer serves you, from bad habits to substance usage. You will be ready to face those challenges in your life with strong will. As September continues, focus on ways to increase your power and become more self-disciplined and master yourself. This is a great time to put in the work to make those changes.
With Saturn and Jupiter in Aquarius, expect innovative ideas to start brewing. This may not be time for creation, but simply contemplation. Aquarius’ should observe the connections around them. These can heat up if things are going well, but the opposite is true if not. If tensions are high between your significant other, you could have more trouble. Try to be aware that in any situations that could go bad. Knowing is half the battle.
Mystical Pisces should tap into their connection to other realms. They can honor their creativity this New Moon in Virgo. This is a time to believe that all your dreams and wishes can come to fruition. Writing is a great way to release these dreams out into the world. Lean into your intuition and relationships to help you along this path. The world is yours.
Incoming, Round 2 of Eclipse Season is here. We have the year's first Solar Eclipse on June 10, 2021. For most of us in the United States, the eclipse will coincide with the sunrise. The US will only see a partial eclipse. The best views will be in the Northern and Eastern states. The annular phase will be seen in parts of Russia, Greenland, and northern Canada. These locations will witness the "ring of fire." This is when the moon passes between the sun and Earth. But, unlike during a total solar eclipse, the moon isn't close enough to Earth to block out all of the sun's visible disk. Instead a thin ring of the sun's disk remains visible around the moon's shadow even at the midpoint of the eclipse, hence the nickname. In exactly 6 lunar months, we will have another solar eclipse on December 4, 2021. This will be a total solar eclipse.
Not only is there a solar eclipse on June 10, we also have a New Moon in Gemini occurring at 3:53am Pacific time. This is a continuation of the Super Full Moon Lunar Eclipse we had just two weeks ago. The themes with these are endings and new beginnings. Gemini is known for its thirst for knowledge and no matter what your sign is, knowledge and information will definitely be important at this time. Also, Mercury, which rules over Gemini, is in retrograde, so play close attention to the information and knowledge you will receive. Things may come up from the past. Mercury Retrograde is known for providing miscommunications and misunderstandings. Be aware of your communication at this time. Think before you speak. This paired with dreamy Neptune being triggered by the eclipse can be overload. You may have so much information that confusion arises. Pay attention to your dreams. Your dreams can actually reveal messages to you at this time. Keep your mental energy safe by just being aware of what is going on. It is a lot to deal with right now.
If the New Moon and the Solar Eclipse were not enough, there are other interesting aspects in the sky. The Solar eclipse is conjunct Mercury Retrograde and square Neptune. Mercury is also square Neptune and we have Saturn squaring Uranus. Plus Saturn and Mercury are both retrograde. This is some heavy energy. All of these aspects scream past secrets, deception, miscommunications, renewal and reset of your life, and big changes coming. Let's grab a coffee and get into what all this means.
Neptune is dreamy and imaginative and everything opposite of focused productivity. You may feel a little unmotivated right now. Neptune is about inspiration and faith. The Sun is shining a big light on those things, but when the Solar Eclipse comes into play, the faith we had may get shattered with deceptions, secrets, and scandals come out. This aspect can cause your beliefs to be challenged. Even if it appears to be a bad thing, the lesson that you get will be the reward and just what was needed to move on. You will not see the world the same again. Or it may not be personal, but big secrets and lies can be headlines and rock society at this time. Being cautious and aware is half the battle. Big changes may be coming from finding out things that were once hidden. Pay attention to dreams and write down anything you remember. They may hold answers you need.
Mercury is the ruler of communication and Neptune is the ruler of faith and inspiration. Currently imaginations are running wild and we may even be prone to fantasy. It is great to have your imagination going wild, but let's keep it light, poetry, writing, and creative outlets are all great to put this creative aspect to work for you and not get carried away. You may put off any business dealings off until this aspect passes by. Make sure you get all the details from any kind of important agreements. Confusion can arise, so ask for clarity if this happens. Deep dive into the details to gain clarity. Be open minded to receive what you need to know.
Lastly we have the heavy hitter Saturn squaring Uranus. The planet of revolution meets the planet of structure. We are breaking free from the old rules and traditions. The theme here is big changes. I have been saying, with the New Moon, the eclipse, and these other aspects, we are going to get changes! Breakthroughs are coming. All this Mercury energy and communications will bring information that forces us to change. Personal and societal change will be coming. This aspect can cause surprises and tension, but tension that has been gaining ground. Change is coming!! You can feel it. During this time remain open-minded and patient. Be honest with yourself and ask for clarity to be given if you are struggling with a situation. That will bring you to a point to change that is needed. This aspect can bring unexpected changes as well. Things we never saw coming.
All of these big alignments in the sky may be bringing big changes in your life. With Saturn and Mercury in retrograde a good rule of thumb is to rethink, review and renew all things in your life. If you have been wanting to make a new start or beginning, now would be a time to really review and rethink what is going on so that you may find the renewal in life that you need. Self care matters and knowing what is going on in the Universe is half the battle. Below are some things you can do to help out the situation, stay grounded, and clear headed:

It is May and we are just now approaching our first eclipse coming up on us May 26, 2021. Let the eclipse season begin. Not only will this be our first eclipse of 2021, it will the first total lunar eclipse we have had since January 2019. This moon will be considered a super moon due to the fact that it will be the closest (and therefore the biggest) full moon of the year. A total eclipse of the year's closest moon has not occurred since September 28, 2015. You can reflect back to these dates to see what themes are showing up again. Maybe you have come full circle with something from the past.
What is a lunar eclipse? A lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth comes perfectly in line between the Moon and the Sun. This casts a shadow that makes the Moon take on a darker, almost reddish hue. The May Full Moon is usually called the Flower Moon, but you may hear it called the Blood Moon or Blood Super Moon due to the closeness to us and it's red appearance. Needless to say, it will be intense!
So who will be able to witness this beauty? It will be visible in Southeast Asia, Australia, most of Alaska and Canada, all the states, all of Mexico, and Central America. Refer here to get the times to see all the action. The actual eclipse will be at it's peak for 14 minutes and 30 seconds. You can see the before and after of it, in all it's beauty over the course of three hours, but that reddish hue will show up at the peak. Refer to this map to find out when you need to go outside. Even if you cannot have visibility to the peak, you will still have the chance to see the beautiful Super Moon shine brighter than usual. It will appear 7% larger and 15% brighter than all other full moons. How pretty!!
The Total Eclipse Full Moon will land in 5 degrees and 26 minutes of Sagittarius. Full Moons are a time of release and revelations, but with this eclipse added to it, what are we to expect? How will this affect us?
Eclipses bring about change that may be explosive or exaggerated in some way. It can be very matter of fact! This eclipse in particular will have more of an affect on those born with personal planets at 0-10 degrees of mutable signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces). Check your charts to see where you stand on May 26th. You may have very intense feelings of things changing. But the good part is that it is time. That is why it is happening. Lunar eclipses can bring things to the surface that need to be addressed. It is a time for emotional cycles to end. We can safely let go of any attachments and emotions that no longer serve us.
If this sounds scary, it is not. The Eclipses are kind of a catapult for what needs to happen. Maybe we are not always ready to do the work to move on and make a better path for ourselves, but the eclipse can set those things in motion for us. We can do several things to be prepared and understand what is happening. You can also use this time as a time to set up new goals and actions to following your dreams.
By doing these small acts, you can change your life for the better when you use the energy given to you with the Moon cycles. The eclipse is just a super extra bonus!
Eclipses usually come in pairs of 2 or 3. This Super Blood Moon we have coming up on May 26th will be followed by a partial Solar Eclipse on June 10, 2021. These are not the same, but will be related as far as the energy behind them goes. They are so close together that June will be a continuation of the Lunar eclipse on May 26th. Keep that same energy through June! These will be followed later in 2021 with another solar eclipse and another lunar eclipse. The effects can last months and even years so be ready for change that moves into your highest self!

March is just flying by. Aries Season came in with a quickness and got things moving again. It feels good! Here comes April with lots of energy as well. Picking up right where March leaves off, the fiery energy we feel from Aries is still in the air and that leads us into April 3rd, when Mercury enters Aries. It will stay here for about three weeks before it enters Taurus later on in the month.
What can we expect from Mercury in Taurus? Swift communications and decisions are the theme. It can be great if you are stuck with making a decision. This can be a time to choose a direction and go about your business. Being confident in the decision you made. Caution, read into the details, even if you do not want to. You may not feel like reading the contract, but read the contract anyway. The Fire influence can fade out fast so be aware of balancing your work and rest here too. Mercury in Aries can be a great time to start a new project or endeavor. The energy Aries has with opening new doors and fresh starts. Be aware of opportunities coming up at this time. Overall, not the best time to get information to the masses. Already short attention spans may be shorter. Start that project and stay at it.
This relationship between Saturn and the North Node is a favorable time for opportunities that open up new doors. You may have been working towards a goal and that goal will be accomplished. This only fuels you to continue along on your journey with bigger or better insight and vision for the future. This time can even go on to bring you life-changing success that you may even have not imagined. Favorable time when this occurs on April 9th. Hard work does pay off.
More of this Aries energy to get us going. The perfect setting for an new idea or project. The Moon moves into Aries on April 11. This is the time to reinvent yourself. Start fresh and new. The New Astrological year started in Aries and now the Moon is here to give us a New Moon to really start again. Forget all that went on yesterday, last week, and last year. We are not crying over that stuff anymore. On the other side of the coin, be patient or walk away because annoyance and a quick mouth is also a theme with Aries hosting the emotional Moon. Be aware of this reaction and to be safe, stay at home and practice self-care. You can never go wrong there. The New Moon can spark that new thing you want to do. Go for it. Action is everything. Aries is here to light the fire in you.
April 14th Venus enters Taurus and just like that, love is in the air. Everything is beautiful and we see the beauty in everything. We are secure, confident, loving and ready to see things through. Devoted Taurus at home with Venus is Heaven on Earth for us. You may want to indulge with shopping, dinners, trips, and luxury items. You will want to treat the ones you love and yourself here. Just make sure to not go overboard. You may regret it in a month.
April 19th has Mercury and the Sun moving into Taurus. Mercury, the planet of communication, wants reliable information. Only things that can be proven or show a real result will be believed or understood. Not a time to be open minded. You may fight for a stance that you firmly believe in at this time. Easy to debate at this time, so be careful not to argue mindlessly. This can also be a good time to solve problems that require patience to come to a conclusion. Your thinking can slow down and process complex problems and situations.
The Sun joins Mercury on April 19th moving through the constellation Taurus. This brings in Taurus season and that means indulge and love. The Earth sign Taurus combines the April showers to get the May flowers and we all need flowers right about now. Thinking about the Sun out more, shopping for new Summer clothes and shoes, and bags are just what Taurus season has you wanting to do. Enjoy this time where you can slow down and enjoy the beauty of life. Enjoy the warm mornings and the beautiful sunsets. The Sun stays here for a month, but while it is here, enjoy the finer things, but balance it so that you do not indulge too much. And Love.
We are not done yet. Mars is moving into Taurus on Aril 23rd. You may be a little stubborn here, and not open minded about an important situation. Mars and Taurus are not the best matchup, but what they can do is get you started on a hard project. The determination and drive is there to start hard things that you may have been putting off or weren't sure how to get started. This time can bring that passion to the project you need to get it moving.
Full Moon in Scorpio comes along on April 26th. All this Taurus energy and now a Full Moon in Scorpio. Wow! Should be some awesome energy going on. Reflections of yourself. Scorpio is the Transformation sign and this is where you shed your skin. The Full Moon brings light to situations and things out into the open. You may face things that you may not have faced. These things may come up because they are necessary to move into the person you are supposed to become. These things are meant to be addressed. Moon in Scorpio is heavy, intense energy. The water sign plus a Full Moon will have us emotional or dealing with heavy emotions. Cleanse yourself at this Moon to transform in to a better version of yourself. Perfect time to reflect and rebirth.
Pluto going retrograde closes out the Astrology highlights of April. With Spring here, and Aries season ushering in Taurus season, the ending to the month is Pluto going retrograde. This transit will last all the way until October 6th. The Full Moon in transformative Scorpio and now Pluto in retrograde, it can be intense, but a needed change. This is an opportunity to deep dive into ourselves. Check the Natal planets for any transits, because they may have a really intense effect on your life. Pluto is no joke and can hand us some serious stuff. Know that is necessary and you will get through it. Those 5 months can really change the course of your life so be aware and ready.
]]>The New Moon on March 13th will land in Pisces. This is really cool because there are several other planets in Pisces. The Sun, Venus, and Neptune join the Moon there. All of these planets aligning in Pisces to help us realize our dreams. Yes, your dreams are born in your mind before they are born for real. This is the start of something special. This is the time to rest, relax, and take notes. Take notes of your dreams while you sleep and your dreams for your life. What do you want to do?
New Moons are new beginnings, endings and beginnings are the theme here. Pisces closes out the Astro year. The Spring Equinox, Daylight Savings Time, and a Full Moon on the 28th all are coming up. So this New Moon in Pisces is actually closing out the Astro year. Aries is right around the corner and we get a fresh start. It may seem like you are lazy, or unmotivated this weekend, but it is just the energy of the transits all in Pisces. We are not only getting a fresh start, all the planets are moving forward and we have no planets in Retrograde. That ,means that it is full steam ahead on your plans to start that business, side hustle, go on that date, or what ever you have on your horizons.
You will be more in touch with your romantic and creative sides. You may be more inclined to stay in, order takeout, watch movies on the couch with your honey, and shop online treating yourself. That is exactly what you are supposed to be doing with this sky alignment. Or you may get a jolt of energy to paint or draw if you are a creative. This Moon is all that. Pisces are super intuitive and rule over sleep, so pay attention to your dreams. Your dreams will be vivid and telling of some aspect in your life. Write them down and look into what they mean. This Pisces energy will still be in the background once the Sun and Moon leave. Whatever is going on now will show again within the next 6 months.
It is ok to let your imagination run wild right now. It is ok to have an emotional release if you need to. You may be taped into your sensitive side and working through things and that is ok. It is needed and you are doing it, so that is where you are supposed to be right now. Candles are great to burn for this New Moon. White, blue or green will work. Write down your dreams and when the Full Moon comes around on the 28th, the intentions are already there. Endings and beginnings are happening now. Make sure you have a plan for the next Astrological year happening at the Full Moon. Let it all go to make room for the New!

The Third House in Astrology is referred to as the House of Communication. This house is ruled by the Constellation Gemini, the planet Mercury, and focuses on communication, perception, learning and understanding. This house also will rule relationships with siblings, cousins, aunts, uncles, neighbors, and communities. Also, this house can rule over your social life and short travels. Communication is so important in daily life. It is how we learn and is key to understanding anything. We must be able to effectively communicate.
Since communication is key, here are some outlets of communication that we all relate to. School, TV, newspapers, books, and the internet have all had influence on us. The way we perceive and learn stems back to school and early education.
Early Education is a big part of this House. We learn from an early age how to talk, spell, and write. These basic learning tools will be with us forever. This is literally how we communicate. What we were taught early on will mold the way we see the world. The way we interact with our schoolmates, teachers, family, and community is learned early on. While at school, we picked up communication skills. This is our language. We took what we got from teachers and books and formed an opinion about the world. Family did have influence as well, but we spend 8 hours a day at school, so it has a huge influence on us our most important years. We all had a different experience with school, but it no doubt formed the way we communicate and learn.
When you get older, you can pick and choose what you take in and leave out, but early on, you may not have a choice to what you are subjected to as far as, curriculums and teachers. Communication and education go hand in hand. You may not have a choice early on, but once you can expand your mind, it is one of the best things you can do for yourself.
Once you leave school for the day, you go home. That is the next place you will spend the most time, besides school. The Third House in Astrology rules siblings, aunts, uncles, cousins, neighbors, and community. These things all have influences on you and your learning. Depending on where you were raised, how large or small your family and community are, these themes have such strong influences on you. When situations occur with these themes in them, turn to your Birth Chart and current transits to see what is going on with the third house. It could provide your explanation.
Where you are from will have a direct influence on your learning patterns, but nothing is set in stone. You can always improve your life if your early home life was not something you want to look back on. Regardless, it will have a huge influence on your communications and how you deal with information.
As you grow up, you will learn from school, your family, and your own curiosity. Once you gather enough communications on life, you will form a perception of life. This can be good or bad, depending on your experiences. Once you form a perception of life, you do what you can to live out the perception. This can be a hard life lesson. Not all that glitters is gold. Make sure you are aware of what is important and what is not. It is good to stay true to who you are. Now days perception is everything. It is in our face in social media daily. We have to decipher what is real and what is not. When you learn perception, you can better maneuver through life and see what is real and what is not.
The third house rules over travel and social life as well. This can be helpful when you are looking to travel. You can look up the best time to go. A time NOT to go is when Mercury is in Retrograde. When this occurs, look to see when it ends and book the trip after Mercury is out of retrograde. This happens a few times a year. When Mercury is Retrograde, communications can be difficult and travel should be avoided. If you absolutely have to travel, take precautions and know delays or cancellations could occur when Mercury isn't direct. This could explain any travel issues. Look to see what Mercury is doing.
When we do travel, boy, we love to show off on social media. Social sites are everything. You can see the world on your phone. The third house rules over social life. This is where we live out our social life, online. You can look up anyone and see a glimpse of their life just by scrolling through some social media posts. This has changed the way we communicate. We can get all kinds of information without actually talking to anyone. We can visually see what you did last night and never speak directly to you. This is amazing and scary at the same time. Technology has changed communication and perception. What we see on socials is not always the truth. Social media is the perfect perception example. Be careful and do not let the perception of social media make you believe that life is like that 100% of the time.
In a recap of the third house in Astrology, the way we learn and communicate was formed in early education and family structures. All of our lives have been telling us information from TV to social media to books we read. All of these ideas we take in early on will form our perception of the world. Always check to see what Mercury is doing before traveling and be able to decide what you take in and leave out when it comes to communications. Less social media and more reading will be a big help. Form your ideas yourself. The more you know, the more you will realize you don't know that much. The world is vast and rich in history that may never come to light. Be thankful for the opportunity to learn and form your own opinions. This is a gift.
]]>The Second House in Astrology is the House of Money and Possessions. When the planets move through this house, what does it mean? That is what we will discover here in this article. You can learn about the Second House in Astrology here if you missed the article. This will give you an overview before you get into transits.
Transits in the 2nd House will look different for everyone, but the general themes of these transits will give you an idea of where your life will be effected. Money, self-worth and possessions are big time. We all strive for these things, each for our own reasons, but we hold these things in high regards. Some may need money to feed the business in order to grow. Some may seek money to support the growing family. Some may just want the next Louis bag. I do not care either way. The point is, you will feel the effects of Second House transit no matter how you feel about money and possessions.
Note: Aspects in your Natal Chart will have different effects and you should take this and go deeper into your own chart. These are general.
Starting with the one and only, The Sun. The sun is the epitome of happiness. The Sun wants you to be happy! No different when it is moving through the 2nd house. The focus will obviously be on your finances and possessions. There will be a call to balance. So look to your money situation. Are you paying too little on important things and not enough towards the things that will get you farther in life? The Sun will shine the light on your next move. The next move will be to grow your money. Be aware of this. Investing is a big one here. Either start investing now or pay attention to your current investments. The Sun will get you to paying off debts, selling for profits, or getting you to pay attention. If you are not investing, this is the time. No matter how small, but it is time to start. That is the key.
The Moon is a minor transit. The Moon moves through the houses every 2-2 1/2 days. When the Moon is moving through the 2nd house, you will be faced with the issues in your daily life. They may be good or they may be challenging. The Moon transit will get you in tune with what needs attention. Particularly when there is a New Moon. These transits are important with finances, self-images, and sense of security. These themes are important at New Moons because they bring new beginnings. You could be going through all kinds of financial or personal issues pertaining to money and finance, but when the Moon transits through the 2nd house, you will be forced to get it together. Face the underlying issues, get a plan together to address these issues and you will overcome them. Be proactive!
Are you thinking lots more about money, investments, or a big purchase or deal? You may feel the effects of Mercury in the 2nd house. This can come out in more ways than these. Maybe you join a group on social media where you chat about investments. Conversations about money and finances are at the top of your mind. You are focused on getting a budget together or creating an investment plan to grow your money. Money is the focus.
Mercury can transit for about a month in this house, maybe longer if a retrograde occurs. In this time, getting your money in order is the theme. So if you are getting in over your head, you may need to reach out and start a conversation with a pro. Simple as that. Once Mercury shows where you need to get organized, all you need to do is recognize that and start a plan to fix it. Be vocal and seek help in the area you are having trouble with.
Venus is the planet of love, so it is only fitting that you will indulge on things you love. It can literally be anything. Maybe a dream house or a new car. New furniture or a new coffee mug. The point is if you love something, you may go for it at this time.
Even if you are watching your money closely and saving, you may even just feel an urge to do a deep, thorough cleaning to your house at this time. A good cleaning and moving around of furniture may just be what was needed to get you back on track. Creating a space that you love is perfect at this time. Venus represents love and all things beautiful. You may have the urges of a new purchase or just a makeover. Either will lead to the same result. Love.
Mars in transit in the second house can have you dealing with a multitude of things. Mars rules war, so be aware of these themes. Fighting about finances, inheritance issues may arise, or you may be up for a promotion going against a colleague. These scenarios will have money in the issue at hand. Money can create problems and they may come to head here, with Mars passing through.
On the other aspect of the 2nd House, your image, can come up. Now is the time to take your health in your hands. This is a perfect time to start a new workout regimen. You are fired up and ready to go! Start now with a new diet or workout plan. The fire energy of Mars is motivating and you will be more likely to stick it out.
Mars can have you fired up for the gym, but do not get too fired up about purchases. Take your time before anything big. You may have regrets if you do not think about it first. Impulses may occur, but be able to recognize them and walk away to think about it. Revisit it when you have thought it through.
Jupiter's stay in each House is roughly a year or so. This transit is a little bit longer than the planets up until this point. They will start getting a little bit deeper with their changes in your life. Jupiter means expansion. This aspect can show up like an increase in salary. Maybe a little more confidence in your work is paying off. This can also look like an increase in your self-worth and self confidence. You can get a huge self boost in yourself while Jupiter is hanging out in the 2nd house.
Make sure to balance taking a risk versus making a good decision. This is a time of feeling good and taking risk, yes, but also with expansion can come big dreams. Take your time before making risky choices with money. Risks are good, but too much self confidence and too much risk can lead to not thinking things through. Be smart. Too much spending can bring on too much debt.
When Saturn is transiting in the Second house you may experience a time of getting it together. You will identify your financial and personal goals and set out with a plan to make it happen. With Saturn, a mirror of sorts, you can get a glimpse of what you need to work on. If finances are not too hot, then you will be hit with that realization and will get serious about the next step. Saturn will show you the areas to work on, but you have to be willing to see them.
You may also want to start your business or learn a new hobby that can make you extra money. This can be something you have been wanting to do, but couldn't take that next step. Saturn in the 2nd house will help you with that leap. Basically, you will get down to business with this transit. You could come to terms with the past and move forward with your life. New careers or promotions could lead to extra money. This transit is a combo of self-worth and financial potential being discovered. Take that and keep improving and your all around life will improve.
Uranus screams change! So when it comes to transits in the 2nd house, it will be no different. There could be a big change in your finances. You could get a raise or come into money. You will see a change in your money somewhere. Good or bad.
These fluctuations can be up or down so beware of any impulses that want you to spend money. This may not be a good choice with Saturn in your 2nd house. Be aware of that impulse and don't do it.
Money can start to look different when Neptune is making moves in the 2nd house. You may start to have different values regarding money at this time. You could start to resent it and start a simpler lifestyle. You may ignore the fact that money is an exchange of energy that we all can use to our benefit and view it as a bad thing. This planet has us more spiritually inclined and we may see all the bad money causes in the world vs all the good it can bring.
You could also find yourself experimenting with more ways to make money. You could start that art project or theater audition may be calling your name. Digital art is in demand. Be real with yourself and realize that you can do what you love and still make money doing it. Neptune wants you to be real about your situation with money. If you want to live simple, great, then just be realistic about downsizing. It doesn't have to be sudden or dramatic. It can be gradual. Come up with a plan to do what you love. It just requires action.
Pluto can literally strip away all that is not meant for you. This can be in money and possessions. Anything not aligning to your highest self, will be gone in some way shape or form. Maybe you are ready to let go of the clutter or sell possessions that no longer align with you. Even if it appears you are losing, you are really becoming more of who you are meant to be.
This can be a long transit and build over time. On the flipside, if you are in charge of your own finances, you may see an increase in wealth that is meant for you to use to increase your wealth. Pluto can take up to three decades in a house, so when it finally leaves, it will have you in line with what is meant for you. You will be aware of where your life is headed. Finances will be in line with your vision for a better life.
In conclusion to this journey through the Second House in Astrology, by way of all the planets, you will see that money, possessions, and self-worth are all themes here. Each planet will have a different take on how you and your finances can work better together. When your finances are in order, your self-worth moves right in line with it. Tune into these and you can be clear about money and how it effects you when these transits are at play.
]]>When February hit, we immediately got Venus in Aquarius, and we asked ourselves how weirder can it get? Well it can definitely get weirder this month. Aquarius is ever so present all through February. This in itself is a call to action. Aquarius energy is a rebellious energy that is fighting the old to create a new and better way. This theme plays out all month.
Venus stays in Aquarius until the 25th. It will be here for V-day. This combo of Venus and rebellion has us craving a different way of showing love. We may give our partners the independence to be away from us without any issues. That time apart can be spent focusing on yourself and caring for the parts that need attention. This is a way to show love for your partner even if it feels weird. If you are single, this is a great time for self love and self care. Venus in Aquarius will have us out here craving mindful interactions and less shallow situations. Level up the romanticism by really getting to know that special someone. No Netflix and chill during this time. It will be all about deep convos and giving each other space.
Next up we have the New Moon in Aquarius. This will happen on 2/11. This New Moon will always have you look at your life through objective eyes and see where you need to improve. Where can you be innovative with your future? The theme of the New Moon in Aquarius is innovation. Creativity, freedom, goals, and the future are all key words here. This moon will be the peak of Aquarian energy as it will join the Sun, Mercury, Venus, Jupiter and Saturn there. All these planets will be in Aquarius. You can see what house Aquarius is in your chart to see where you, personally, will need to pay attention to.
The New Moon energy on the 11th will shine a light on what is no longer needed in our lives. It could be a job, a partner, a lifestyle, or anything that no longer serves you in your life. You will know what it is. The key is to let it go. Let it go and get to an understanding of what you want the future to look like. Aquarius is rebellious and creative. With this energy, it is time to move along and create the life you want. Stand up for yourself is the message that I feel for this time. Not only can you let negative things go, but New Moons are the perfect breeding ground for setting intentions to create what you do want!!
Get creative and spend some time with yourself to really define what is important and what needs to go. This is the perfect time to create. Create that book, that course, or start that business. If you paint, or are artistic, create that big project. This will set the stage for the rest of the year. With that many planets in Aquarius, expect something to happen and you need to know exactly what is important and what direction you are headed. Once you have this defined, work on it daily. Water it and it will grow.
Now that we have defined our New Moon intentions and have had a week to sit with it, Boom! Here we go on February 17th, Saturn will square Uranus. This will bring up change and it will be controversial and challenging to deal with for many. Old traditions will be challenged at this time. Saturn, represents structures, corporations, organizations and government and will oppose Uranus. This planet represents sudden revelations or new info that will shock. These themes will come up.
A square in Astrology is a situation that is challenging. This will highlight opportunities that need our attention. When we know, we can grow. Once the highlighted areas have been seen, time and effort will need to go into fixing these areas so it will get better. A new way of doing things will emerge.
This February occurrence will be strong due to all the other planets hanging out in Aquarius too. Something will happen that we will have to reform. Whether it is government or money or corporation dominance, this planetary alignment will bring about some change. It may be sudden, but with it will bring about a new way to do things. Be ready.
If you feel restricted or anxious or rebellious, try to stay away from any situations that could provoke those feelings. Take that energy and use it for good. Create! This is such a time of sudden energy, you could create the next big thing when you put that energy to good use. So, in conclusion to Saturn square Uranus:
With the pandemic and the way the World has been disrupted over the last year, this will be a great time of revelations, in my opinion. Stay true to yourself and you cannot go wrong.
Thank goodness that after all the Aquarian energy and the crazy Saturn square Uranus energy plus all the planets hanging out in Aquarius, the Sun moves on into Pisces. This will have you feeling less restricted than you did a week ago. You will actually be feeling more go with the flow and dreamier than usual. Take some time out for yourself. Take a social media break. Take a little time to cultivate what exactly you want for the future. The theme all February has been create the new! This mystical time in Pisces will have you being more intentional with your needs and boundaries. Dream it and believe it. That is all it takes and the Sun in Pisces will let you enjoy a break from the tension that was. Mercury will also go direct the 20th of February, just a few days after the Sun has moved into Pisces. Any communications you need to make will be easier and better understood by the audience it is intended for. This will only get better moving into March. With better communications and less chance to be misunderstood, now is the perfect time to bring your dreams into action. Dreams + action=magic. Pisces is creating this energy. Make sure to get in tune with it.
Last biggie in February is the Full Moon in Virgo. This is called the Snow Moon. This is the only Full Moon in Virgo in 2021 so it will be felt on a deeper level. News could come out of the blue. Good news or bad news, it is needed to come to the light in order to move along and stay true to ourselves. Virgos are always trying to help others become better, but at this moment, the light needs to be shown on taking care of ourselves. By this time, Venus will be in Pisces. This could be a time of a great meeting of the minds. Whether it be in love or business, the Snow Moon sets the tone for partnerships or collabs to work together on a bigger project.
The big theme here is to have faith that whatever you are working towards. Even if it is hard to see right now, keep working at it. Faith and having your heart open to receive are the big take aways for the Full Moon in Virgo. Trust your instincts and be consistent and your dreams will happen.
February has lots of action in the sky and sudden revelations. We may have to accept change in order to level up. Once we level up, the Full Moon at the end of the month will show us where we are headed. Stay grounded, ready to create the life you want, and consistent with your actions to get to that point and you will come out even better that what you went in.

The second house in astrology is ruled by Venus and associated with Taurus. It is typically called the House of Money, but it goes deeper than that. There are many facets to money. Money buys your possessions. It buys your car, clothing, jewelry, house, and all the things that fill it up. All the things that are physical in this world are representative of the Second House. Money and possessions can also be linked to your self-worth and self-esteem. Not only can money and possessions be linked to the second house, but also your borrowing of money. This can be beneficial when done right. Done wrong and too often, you can take on the burden of debt. This is why I consider it the House of Possessions vs just money.
Your relationship with the physical world we live in is astrologically located in the Second House.
The possessions you own actually just prove to yourself, and to others that you exist in this world. We all want to prove that we are doing well on Earth, and having things is what can confirm this. The 2nd House represents the car, clothing, jewelry, house, and the furnishings that fill it up. These possessions are a status symbol to show others that you have made it. With that comes balance. Too many possessions can bring upon debt. This house represents lending and borrowing too.
More money and status can be great, but a balance is required. Too much of anything can clutter up the flow of our lives. Too much debt can bring stress and financial problems. Too many furnishings can cause a flow problem in your home. More money, more problems. This motto is true with the Second House.
The majority of people value high status items. For instance, if you drive a Mercedes, people have a preconceived idea that you have money. No matter if you don’t. The car is seen as a status symbol. People will possess these items to boost their self-worth and also seem like they are of value in society. The Second House is a place that can measure your values and worth. Your worth should be based on your morals, personality, and what kind of person you are in general. This is not always the case. Mostly we value things to show others our worth. This can lead to an empty feeling. Our self-esteem and self-worth are often related to money and possessions. To see this for what it is and move past that thought process will save you money and that empty feeling in the long run. When you tie your self worth to possessions, you will always be looking to get more and more. This will throw you out of balance and clutter will occur every time!
The Second House can also be teller of personal finance highs or lows. When it’s going well and there is a balance, your financial situation can make your life better. Lots of successful business people have been shown to have good aspects in their Second House. The other side to that is when you have an imbalance of finances. This can make your life harder that it needs to be. Too much borrowing and the buying of possessions can lead to financial hard times.
In conclusion, what do you value? What do you own? What do you want to own? These questions all represent the 2nd House. Own up to the person you want to be. Some people will never stop having more and more possessions. And that is how they will always be. Some live a minimal lifestyle. Each person is unique in how the Second House has shaped their lives.
It is not all about those things, unless that is what you want. You can own little possessions and still be very happy. Some may have other values besides just money, but we are each unique in how we live and tie our values and worth to money and possessions. I will talk about the Second House Planets in Transit next time. These can help you see where you have issues with money or even great financial expansion coming your way.

In the first part of First House transits I discussed the first 5 planets and their roles. They were fast moving and not as impactful as these I will discuss today. An in depth look into the planets that take longer to transit and have more of an impact in your life, will help you to see where these impacts have occurred, or will occur in the future. We will go over Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Pluto transiting through the First House.
Jupiter takes about a year in each House. It takes around 12 years to make the full circle of the Zodiac. When Jupiter is moving through the First House, you will be jovial and generous in your spirit. Themes of Jupiter transits in the First House are drink, eat, and be merry. Jupiter brings positive energy to your life, but boundaries are necessary. Jupiter has "expansive" energy and can lead to an indulgence in the drinking, eating, and being merry. You could possibly expand your weight while Jupiter travels through the First House.
The flip side of this is, you can also find the positive energy to motivate you to get healthy and indulge in the opposite direction. You could be obsessive about getting healthy. You may experience your "glow up" while Jupiter is in the First House.
You can expand your knowledge, confidence, and your consciousness at this time. When this transit is taking place, you must open up to the possibilities of moving past your old ways. Optimism, luck, and hope are what Jupiter is about. When Jupiter is in your First House, you can expect to have those themes challenge you. Your good mood will attract goodness back to you. Your luck is based on the hard work and actions you take pursuing your passion. Rewards will follow. Generosity will come easily and hope for the best of humanity will be the at the forefront. When this transit occurs, be aware of expanding in the right direction and set boundaries so that you do not overindulge in the wrong things. Focus on your come up and you will make it through this transit just fine.
Saturn is even a little slower. It takes 2-2.5 years to make it through a House when in transit. When Saturn moves into your First House, its sole purpose is to show you exactly who you are. This is so you can change for the better. Saturn illuminates where you must do the work on yourself in order to evolve and mature. You will age during this transit in growth and maturity.
This transit is a good time to start putting into action, your long term plans. Rigid goal setting and discipline in achieving these goals is the best outcome from a Saturn First House transit. Getting grounded in your life's purpose is the goal in this transit. No matter what happens during this time, at the end of Saturn's travel through the First House, you will be more dependent on yourself and your sense of self will be strong. It may be hard while it is happening, but you will be forever changed. The goal is to evolve from your former self and rise closer to your purpose. Saturn is harsh, but keeps it real.
Wow! Lightening strikes you and you suddenly feel the need to change. You may have Uranus moving through your First House. This transit is a calling to re-invent yourself in some form or fashion. Self-discovery at this time will be extremely important to your growth. If you are an intuitive, your powers could get more intuitive and you could drawn more to the unconventional and eccentric ideals. Uranus is not normal. It screams eccentric, different, and creative.
You could abruptly align with your calling at this time. You may up and move or switch jobs multiple times. You could start or finish an important relationship in your life. Uranus is going to shake up your world and there is nothing normal about it. During this time, you may be rebellious and defy authority in your jobs or relationships. A change is inevitable, probably sudden and it probably will not make sense to others, but Uranus in the First House is a time to shake up your life and set you on a path for the future. Freedom is the goal of this transit. You will finally find your freedom.
Neptune can stay in the houses for over a decade. Slow moving means that lessons are being taught with Neptune in the First House. These times can be sensitive, imaginative, and dreamy. You may get wrapped up in helping the wrong people at this time, or get manipulated by someone you trusts. These can be hard times and you may even lose yourself a bit while Neptune transits in the First House. I mentioned Neptune is sensitive and can be a time of loss or sadness. This can be a hard transit and can be a challenging time. You are being made to get back to yourself at the end of it.
Once Neptune moves on, you should be anchored with a strong sense of where you are going because you do not want to go back to where you were. Lessons learned and anchors set will have you moving on successfully after Neptune leaves the First House. Smarter, more clairvoyant, and secure in yourself are the goal of this long transit. You may re-invent yourself during this transit for the better.
Last but not least is Pluto. Pluto can stay in a given house anywhere from 12-32 years. If Pluto moves through your First House, you could go undergo a transformational period in your life. A time for you to come into yourself. Your power will be highlighted during this Pluto transit. Control issues, aggressiveness, money and power are Pluto themes that can have an effect on you when in the First House. You could even be tempted with power and money, but you are supposed to choose your soul when this comes up with Pluto. It can get dark and underworldy with this transit. Be careful and do not let the darker aspects get the best of you. When you choose your soul, you take your power back over everything.
That is the goal of Pluto, to twist you and turn you and try to get you to choose the dark side, but you should come to know yourself so well that you can see the difference and choose the latter. Good will attract good. With that comes healing, empowerment, and truly facing yourself. Pluto is tough, but it can get you to your best self with the proper work on your part.
No matter what transit is occurring, it can be effected by aspects with the other houses. These are themes that happen when the planets travel through the First House. You can apply it to your chart to see where these occur. If you missed the first article get it here. You can also get your Natal Chart here to get started on getting to know your purpose in this life. It really is the best place to start.

JP Morgan said it best, millionaires do not use astrology, billionaires do!
So many successful people such as Albert Einstein and Theodore Roosevelt used astrology to succeed in their lives and careers. It really is a tool of success!
Transits in Astrology are so very important. They are used to forecast future happenings, events, and trends. Transits actually refer to the ongoing movement of the planets, in contrast to their placements in your Natal Chart. On the app Astro Future, you can see the transits daily to try to get a better understanding. It will join your Natal Chart with the transits of the day, and let you see what is going on with the planets daily. You will see how different movements in the sky effect you.
Planets transiting in the First House can have a profound influence in your life. Some can be more painful than others. Some can cause growth at a rapid speed. At some point we will all go through a transformative First House transits. I will go over the first 5 planets today and what it means when they are passing through the 1st House.
The planets are moving daily, so this varies as to the level of change. No matter what, they will have some effect on you. Learning these things will prepare you for the changes. I promise, changes go way smoother seeing the change and being ready for it, versus trying to go through life blindly. Once you see the daily effects the stars have on us, the les chaotic your life becomes. Each planet brings a different take on You! Remember, the 1st House is the House of Self.
When the Sun shows up in your First House, it is reminding you to challenge yourself. This is a time to move past your "limits." You will need to step up and remind yourself that you can do anything you set your mind to. The Sun is basically shining down on you, so you will need to bring your best self to the light when that comes through your First House.
The Moon changes every 2.5 days. This makes it a minor transit. This being said, there are some Moon transits very noteworthy. Notice when your Moon sign falls into your First House of your chart. Especially when there is a New Moon at the time. That is a magical time to start new projects or set intentions for the future. Setting yourself on schedule with the Moon is a total life hack. I will talk about that another time more in depth.
Mercury is a fast moving planet and will make it through the chart with a quickness. Mercury rules communication, the mind, thoughts, and perception. When it is moving through the First House, you will be extra talkative about yourself or your current endeavors in life. You will come to realize what you want in life and plan it out. And talk about the future plans too. You will want to self-improve and discuss this too. Mercury is a planet to get you moving and speaking it into existence. Reading can help your nervous energy at this time.
Venus is all about the love and beauty in life. When Venus makes moves through the First House, you are being called upon to take extra good care of yourself. Massage, extra rest, facials, pedi-manis, the works. Self-love is the best love! Venus is in the First House to remind you of that. Being in love with the process and love yourself are the keys to the Venus transit in the First House.
Mars is known for its fiery energy. Mars rules the First House anyway, so when it is here, you could get really motivated to start or finish a project or be a little impulsive. Mars energy has a little conflict to go along with it as well. This usually shows up as people starting conflicts with you or picking on you. This planet may show up at your door with a pile of conflict. Mars is actually just trying to get you to stand up for yourself. All conflict is not bad. If you are feeling angrier than normal, it may just be Mars trying to give you that nudge to take your power back. When this occurs, please stand up for yourself. It is very empowering.
These first 5 planets are faster moving planets that do effect us, but next I will talk about the slower moving planets. The last ones I will go into more in depth. They have a stronger meaning in the First House due to the fact that they don’t come around often, so when they do, it is to induce a change in yourself.

The Natal Chart can be an excellent tool to use to help you on your life journey. If you have no idea what to do with it once you have it, you are just like everyone else. There is lots of info in that circle. So much info and it changes daily. I will start off with a breakdown of each Zodiac house and it's purpose. You can then take that and apply it to the Zodiac sign in your first house.
The first house in astrology is often referred to as the House of Self. The first house is the beginning of your life. The zodiac sign in your first house will be whatever sign's constellation was ascending on the eastern horizon at the exact time of your birth. We often refer to this as the Ascendant Sign or Rising Sign. It is apart of your big three. Sun, Moon, and Rising.
Let's get a little more in depth about the first House. It is pretty deep. The first house rules early childhood. It is where you get your appearance, personality and physical attributes from. It is how you are perceived by others and what you feel about yourself. This sign is about the journey you take in life. If you have any transits out of the first house, they will strongly effect you. Any astrological events that take place inside this house can actually change one's concept of identity.
I will point out that Aries is the zodiac ruler of the first house and Mars is the ruling planet. They are always in the background. They naturally rule this house. When you were born, you created your own Zodiac wheel unique to your life. This house can be a teller of how your life started. We will have to get into transits to understand the significance of your placements in the first house. Everyone's will be different. Some could have more profound first house action than others.
This is just an example of how getting your natal chart and starting to understand it is the perfect growth opportunity. You can find out about your childhood and how it effected you up until this point. There is healing that comes along with this. Find out what your natal chart has as your Ascendant/ Rising sign and start looking at that vs your early childhood and how people perceive you. It is best to consult with someone that can provide you with a full report or reading, especially if you want to go deeper into these aspects.
You can apply your sign to the self and reflect on any thoughts that come up when exploring these subjects. If you use tarot, in readings The Tower card and The Emperor can both be associated with the first house, Aries, and Mars.
