СКАЧАТЬ is not as much interest here as usual. Generally this shows that the cosmos is not pushing you one way or another and you have more freedom and latitude in this department. Generally it denotes a status quo kind of year.

      However, this year I’m not so sure about this. There are, as was mentioned, FOUR Lunar eclipses this year, and the Moon is your home and family planet. In addition, there is a Solar Eclipse on July 22 in your 4th House. Perhaps by temperament you would prefer the status quo, but it’s not going to happen.

      These eclipses show either moves (sudden and disruptive), repairs in the home (unexpected), dramatic events in the lives of family members and parent figures, and major changes in the family and domestic pattern.

      Eclipses are never punitive, but they can feel that way, especially if a person is making plans, or is attached to things that are not part of his or her plan in life. Then, the function of the eclipse is to ‘blow it to smithereens’ and bring the person back to his or her path. If the person is already following the cosmic plan for the life, the eclipse will only reveal hidden flaws and allow corrections to be made.

      Are family relationships ties that are holding you back? Are family attachments unhealthy and uncosmic? Is family preventing you from fulfilling your divine destiny (or perhaps the reverse is true)? Are you supposed to be living in another place? The eclipses will expose all this and lead to life changes.

      The challenge now (as was mentioned earlier) is to keep the emotions in harmony. This is not easy but it can be done. Those of you who are worldly will probably medicate, although this is a stop-gap solution. A spiritual discipline, an awareness of your feelings without judgement, prayer and meditation will be longer-lasting solutions, solutions that will cure the very root causes of the problems.

      Parents or parent figures in your life are undergoing deep and profound transformations. This seems on a very personal level. Some are having surgery (both cosmetic and more serious types). Some are getting involved in serious detox regimes. Some are having near death experiences. Some are getting involved in spiritual disciplines that involve transformation. The process of transformation is seldom pleasant—and you will need patience with your parents—but the end result is beautiful.

      The parents or parent figures (in a man’s chart what we see refers to the father or father figures; in a woman’s chart it refers to the mother or mother figures) are confronting the ‘dark angel’ in various ways. He is letting them know that he is around, that life is short (compared to Eternity) and fragile and it’s time to get down to the essentials of life. The ‘dark angel’ is only reminding them of what is really important in life.

      If you are planning heavy construction work or renovations in the home, June 21 to July 22 and August 25 to October 16 are good times. If you are looking to beautify the home in a cosmetic sort of way (repainting or buying furniture or art objects) August 1 to 26 is a good time.

      Finance and Career

      Your 2nd House of Finance is not a House of Power this year, thus you seem satisfied with the status quo and have no need to make major financial changes. It is true that you have more freedom in this area—the planetary powers neither push you one way nor another—but there is a lack of interest and this tends to the status quo. (Career is another matter and we’ll discuss it later.)

      Your financial planet is Venus. She is a very fast moving planet and will move through all the Signs and Houses of your Horoscope in any given year. Thus financial opportunity will come to you in many ways and through many people as the year unfolds. It all depends on where Venus is at any given time and these issues are best discussed in the monthly reports.

      Venus serves double duty in your Horoscope. She is BOTH the financial planet AND the love planet. Thus there is a very strong connection between love and money. When love is going well, there tends to be prosperity. When prosperity is strong, love tends to go well. So if you want to improve your bottom line, work on maintaining harmony with your spouse, current love or friends.

      Venus rules the beauty industry—cosmetics, fashion, perfumes, jewellery, antiques, art and the like. Thus all these industries are interesting to you, both as investments or as ways to earn a living. People involved in these industries also tend to be important in your financial life.

      Professional investors should look at copper (the commodity) and real estate for profit opportunities.

      The job situation seems stressful for many of you. You don’t seem to be enjoying it as much as you should. The spiritual lesson here is to transcend how you feel and just do the right thing—do a good job—regardless of how you feel. There is a need to develop some discipline in this area.

      Those of you who hire others seem to be cutting back on employees and doing a major re-structuring in this area. This doesn’t mean failure. Downsizing, especially when done with skill, can actually increase profits. The object here is to eliminate waste and bring a cosmic order into the employee situation.

      Last year you worked hard, and you saw the results of that hard work. You gained promotions, honours and raises. Yes, you had luck in your career, but it was your hard work that created the luck. This year you are still working hard and succeeding in this way.

      With Pluto now in your 10th House of Career for many years to come, there is a sense that you are re-evaluating your career, purifying it, detoxing it of effete attitudes, motives and emotions. This purification often leads to near-death experiences in the career. Sometimes it leads to actual death and then a resurrection. The good news here is that there is an intense focus—a drive for success—and a single-minded concentration on the career goals. Attainment of these goals is very likely now (and for years to come) but you have to be willing to undergo the transformation—the detox.

      We also see a complete transformation of your industry, the leaders of your industry and your corporate hierarchy in coming years. This won’t happen overnight, but over many years. A few years from now you will hardly recognize your industry or your corporate hierarchy; the changes will be deep and profound.

      With ALL the long-term planets above the horizon of your chart (and Pluto right on the Midheaven) there is great ambition. You need to be careful not to ignore family or to ride rough shod over others in your drive to the top. Your intense interest could be seen as a ruthlessness by others.

      Your most prosperous periods this year will be from February 3 to July 5.

      Your best career periods will be from January 1 to 20; April 19 to May 20; August 22 to September 22 and December 21 to 31.

      Love and Social Life

      Your 7th House of Love and Marriage is not a House of Power for most of the year (until October 29). Thus, until that time I expect a status quo kind of situation. Marrieds will tend to stay married and singles will tend to stay single. Of course singles will date and have fun—they will have a social life—but there doesn’t seem to be anything special on the horizon.

      As Saturn moves into your 7th House on October 29, he will bring many changes to your love and social life. As we mentioned earlier, he will test existing marriages and business partnerships in the same sort of way a company road tests a new vehicle. It gives the vehicle some rough handling—abnormally rough handling—to see where the flaws are—to see how the vehicle handles stress—and to see how reliable the vehicle is. This road testing is very valuable to the maker; improvements can either be made or the vehicle can be released for production. So it is with your marriage and business partnerships. They get some rough handling. If you perform well, you will have an enduring marriage СКАЧАТЬ
