Important Features

Transiting Uranus in strong trine (forming, 1.2 degrees) with natal Jupiter

This transit is strongest (within 2 degrees) from 4/10/99 to 7/1/99, no exact; and 1/25/00 to 4/13/00, exact on 2/29/00; and 7/6/00 to 1/28/01, exact on 8/28/00 R, 12/20/00.

The planetary energies flow smoothly; the connection is easy and beneficial.

Feelings of restlessness may come up for you in a big way during this transit. You may decide to leave on a trip, or your plans for the future could change, or a planned educational experience may suddenly alter. Existing travel plans are also subject to changes and increased energy during the course of this transit. Jupiter also symbolizes your faith and your aspirations, and your spiritual or religious feelings. You have a real need to express your individuality and your independence at this time, and you have renewed positive energy toward your own uniquely personal goals.

Transiting Chiron in strong sextile (forming, 1.8 degrees) with natal Jupiter

This transit is strongest (within 2 degrees) from 2/19/00 to 5/4/00, no exact; and 11/5/00 to 12/10/00, exact on 11/23/00.

The planetary energies flow together, open into new possibilities, new connections.

Your religious philosophy and broad intellectual framework are subject to a certain amount of re-examination now. Painful experiences in these areas could lead you to a new outlook on life. Also during the course of this transit, you may have issues arise related to travel or other methods of broadening your intellectual horizons. There may be suppressed emotions relating to the received philosophy of parental figures that come up for you at this time, leading to introspection and rethinking of your views. Perhaps there are ways that these shared philosophies from your early background no longer fit your needs in the present era. If you look deeply within yourself you may be able to find the answer to questions that come up for you at this time, and move closer to a true synthesis of your lower and higher natures. This synthesis will be as rewarding, in the end, as the experience of getting to it was painful at the time. Then you will be able to use your new-found integration to advantage in sharing your vision for the world with other like-minded individuals, in order to help make that vision a reality for yourself and for society as well.

Transiting Neptune in strong trine (forming, 2.0 degrees) with natal Neptune

This transit is strongest (within 2 degrees) from 3/26/99 to 6/17/99, no exact; and 1/21/00 to 9/22/00, exact on 3/20/00, 6/28/00 R; and 11/6/00 to 3/14/01, exact on 1/17/01; and 7/9/01 to 1/14/02, exact on 10/17/01 SD.

The planetary energies flow smoothly; the connection is easy and beneficial.

This transit affects your sense of spirituality, and your ideals. Feelings of confusion may also come up for you during this transit, while the sextile or trine of transiting Neptune to its natal position is in effect. At this time, you are in the process of far-reaching re-evaluations. It can be a confusing time, as illusions and self-concepts, which may be the very motivating factors by which you live, are called into question and a new basis for re-imaging the fundamental concepts of your life may be emerging. Your imagination is very active now, for Neptune is the planet of image and illusion. You must be sure to weigh carefully any unsettling concepts that come up for you at this time, for although they speak a new truth to you, they may also exaggerate (either the up-side or the down-side) during this period. It is better to wait out the growing maturity of these new concepts, rather than acting rashly in being quick to make changes in your life at this time.

Transiting Uranus in strong trine (fading, 0.3 degrees) with natal Moon

This transit is strongest (within 2 degrees) from 3/8/99 to 8/10/99, exact on 5/6/99, 6/5/99 R; and 12/30/99 to 3/11/00, exact on 2/4/00; and 8/14/00 to 1/1/01, exact on 10/26/00 SD.

The planetary energies flow smoothly; the connection is easy and beneficial.

Your feelings are expressing themselves to you in ways you never before dreamed possible. This could be the beginning of a major breakthrough, the first step in actually coming to terms with emotions long buried in your unconscious. This new awareness of your feelings could come to you from within or through meeting new people who are able to bring out your emotions at this time. Some other ways that this important transit could manifest in your life: you may get in better touch with the feminine side of your nature; you may find yourself feeling restless and bored with your current dwelling or home life, leading you to make changes in your home environment; your close personal relationships may alter; you may have insights that force you into a new way of seeing your relationship with your mother. Even if these changes seem disruptive they usually work out for the best in the overall process of your life development. These changes may provide insights that will be the seeds for your future emotional development. Some new part of yourself is struggling to break free to the surface of your personality.

Transiting Chiron in strong sextile (forming, 0.4 degrees) with natal Moon

This transit is strongest (within 2 degrees) from 1/30/00 to 5/26/00, exact on 3/2/00, 4/22/00 R; and 10/22/00 to 11/28/00, exact on 11/10/00.

The planetary energies flow together, open into new possibilities, new connections.

You are likely to be experiencing a process of emotional pain, and a transformation of the nurturing or feminine in you, leading to significant and far-reaching changes. Issues may arise with important female figures in your life, perhaps your mother or a significant other, as well as with the feminine side of your own nature. Something deep inside you, at the roots of your being, is going through a process of renewal at this time. There may be old issues that have been locked away in your unconscious for a long time that you are forced to acknowledge during this period, perhaps there are changes in the way you have habitually and unconsciously lived your emotional life up to now, a way of being that is no longer compatible with who you have become at a deep level. It can also be a time of great joy as you break with the past and come into the glow of a new emotional comprehension of yourself. There may be painful feelings from the past that reassert themselves at this time, and it may also be that relationship issues come to the surface, or perhaps other security needs such as a safe and cozy home life that may be challenged or otherwise changing during this period. The ultimate purpose for these issues arising is to heal them and to abate their influence for negative emotion in your life. Something deep inside of you is adjusting to a new understanding, and you can move into it gracefully if you can let go of the past.

Transiting Uranus in strong trine (fading, 1.5 degrees) with natal Chiron

This transit is strongest (within 2 degrees) from 2/13/99 to 9/15/99, exact on 3/23/99, 7/22/99 R; and 11/28/99 to 2/16/00, exact on 1/12/00; and 9/19/00 to 11/30/00, no exact.

The planetary energies flow smoothly; the connection is easy and beneficial.

You are likely to be experiencing an urge for freedom and spontaneity. There is a genius energy in you, an energy to create new things and depart from the normal run of the mill consciousness in doing so. With this transit, your mental creativity and spontaneity is up for a transformation of some sort. Perhaps you will launch yourself into new ways of thinking and being, even altering your lifestyle. There may be changes in store for you that have been waiting in the wings for the right moment to come on stage, new ways of being that more truly serve the evolutionary purpose that you came into this life to actualize. Something inside is pressuring you to move ahead, in spite of the consequences, and it is well to heed the wisdom of your soul's higher purpose. You may emerge from your chrysalis with a brave form and new wings.

Transiting Chiron in strong sextile (fading, 0.9 degrees) with natal Chiron

This transit is strongest (within 2 degrees) from 1/17/00 to 6/14/00, exact on 2/9/00, 5/16/00 R; and 10/7/00 to 11/17/00, exact on 10/29/00.

The planetary energies flow together, open into new possibilities, new connections.

You are likely to be going through a period of transition. You are in the process of getting in touch with yourself, and this can be extremely rewarding as well as a necessary part of your evolution. This could be a time when strange events force upon you an intimation of other worlds, a broader perspective than that of ordinary reality, perhaps a taste of the transpersonal world of shamanism and magic. It also may be a time for re-examination of some painful issues that could be part of your make-up and possibly have been holding you back until now. Usually some issues from early childhood that were too painful to deal with in their era, and that have become repressed and remain lodged in your unconscious, come up during this period of time, perhaps brought on by recent events. Long repressed feelings may be difficult and painful to deal with, but there is a rich reward for getting in touch with these walled-off areas in order to become more whole. You can achieve a much greater degree of self-acceptance and ease once you have made the dark journey of discovery to find what lies within that space.

Transiting Uranus in strong trine (forming, 2.2 degrees) with natal Uranus

This transit is strongest (within 2 degrees) from 2/11/00 to 10/1/00, exact on 3/20/00, 8/3/00 R; and 11/19/00 to 2/14/01, exact on 1/10/01; and 10/6/01 to 11/23/01, no exact.

The planetary energies flow smoothly; the connection is easy and beneficial.

This transit affects your urge for freedom and spontaneity. Feelings of restlessness may come up for you during this period of time. You will undoubtedly have new spiritual insights and your will to be different will be more powerful during this period of time. You are undergoing an important transition in your life, entering an entire new phase of existence, in which the habitual patterns and concerns of the old way of your world may alter in their importance to you.

Transiting Jupiter in strong sextile (fading, 1.8 degrees) with natal Pluto

This transit is strongest (within 2 degrees) from 8/18/00 to 11/9/00, exact on 9/9/00, 10/19/00 R; and 4/6/01 to 4/26/01, exact on 4/16/01.

The planetary energies flow together, open into new possibilities, new connections.

This transit affects your urge for self-transformation and regeneration. Conflicts and drastic changes may come up for you during this period of time. Your plans and aspirations for the future, as well as your religious feelings may be affected. You are more serious and look more deeply into any fields of study that are important to you at this time. You could become involved in a research project or other serious study during this transit, and you will find that you have an increased capacity for such a project. Travel plans are another possibility for more serious and renewed consideration at this time. Your ideals and aspirations may also be called into question during the period of time that this transit is in effect. You also could find that you are more interested in your own unconscious process or that of others during this period of time.

Transiting Pluto in strong trine (fading, 1.2 degrees) with natal Pluto

This transit is strongest (within 2 degrees) from 12/16/98 to 6/20/99, exact on 3/13/99 SR; and 10/13/99 to 2/10/00, exact on 12/8/99; and 4/18/00 to 11/30/00, exact on 7/10/00 R, 9/28/00; and 8/10/01 to 9/3/01, no exact.

The planetary energies flow smoothly; the connection is easy and beneficial.

Transits to Pluto affect your urge for self-transformation and regeneration. Complexes and compulsive behavior may come up for you during this period of time. You may need to confront hidden parts of yourself that have been active in an unconscious behavior pattern for many years, during this period of time, and bring them to your conscious awareness so that they can be dealt with. Such a bringing to light of old wounds and buried parts of your psyche is incredibly cathartic and healing. You will undoubtedly have new spiritual as well as personal insights as a result of this material coming into your consciousness during this period of time.

Transiting Jupiter in strong square (fading, 0.5 degrees) with natal Mars

This transit is strongest (within 2 degrees) from 8/8/00 to 11/19/00, exact on 8/25/00, 11/2/00 R; and 3/29/01 to 4/20/01, exact on 4/10/01.

The planetary energies conflict; internal and creative tensions bring rich rewards through effort over time.

You're something of a high flyer these days. Jupiter expands whatever it comes into contact with, and in this case it's your assertiveness and animal passion. You are so extremely confident, even full of yourself, that it is possible to overdo. You may need to temper your confidence with just a bit of pessimism, for balance, during this period. You should avoid risk taking and playing the odds in all kinds of situations; gambling may be a temptation during this transit. You think you can walk on water, and you may be able to pull it off. You benefit by being quietly optimistic and high minded, and then you may well be on the path to good luck and great success in your endeavors. During this transit, you will find you have much greater energy than usual, and your renewed sense of optimism may give you great clarity of purpose. You will likely find contact with the opposite sex quite pleasant and rewarding during this period of time. You may have so much physical energy that you need to seek an outlet for it in activity such as sports or getting down and cleaning up that old plumbing problem that has been lurking. Any activities that you engage in during this time will be very productive for you in long term results, provided that you keep in balance and refrain from overdoing it.

Transiting Jupiter in strong sextile (fading, 1.0 degrees) with natal Mercury

This transit is strongest (within 2 degrees) from 8/12/00 to 11/15/00, exact on 8/30/00, 10/28/00 R; and 4/1/01 to 4/22/01, exact on 4/12/01.

The planetary energies flow together, open into new possibilities, new connections.

Your ability to express ideas is greatly enhanced, and your verbal communication enthusiastic, during this period of time. You may do more talking than listening, but you have the gift of the golden tongue during this period, and you are likely to be able to hold your audience's attention. This transit brings positive energy, optimism, faith, or luck as you may happen to think of it, to the areas ruled by Mercury, communication and intellect, the in-flow and out-flow of information in conversation or in writing. There is also abundant energy for education and mental pursuits, and for exploring new horizons, either by means of actual travel or in your own armchair. Whatever you turn your mind to is likely to have a fortunate outcome under the influence of this transit. Written communication will be lively and optimistic, and you may find your thoughts filled with higher purpose or make spiritual connections. Greater energy is also available for friends and for thinking about future plans, although you may need to look more realistically at any limits and restrictions which could apply.

Transiting Pluto in strong trine (fading, 1.9 degrees) with natal Mercury

This transit is strongest (within 2 degrees) from 2/9/98 to 4/9/98, no exact; and 11/27/98 to 7/31/99, exact on 1/23/99, 5/3/99 R; and 9/5/99 to 1/11/00, exact on 11/19/99; and 5/21/00 to 11/10/00, no exact.

The planetary energies flow smoothly; the connection is easy and beneficial.

You may find your style of communication with others to be deeper and more serious than usual. You also may notice that you are more in tune with other people's ideas at this time. You may also be better able to express your own ideas during this period, or that you are more serious in what you say or think, and less satisfied with superficial explanations at this time. You could become involved in a research project or other serious study during this transit, and you will find that you have an increased capacity for such a project. You also could find that you are more interested in your own unconscious process or that of others during this period of time.

Transiting Saturn in strong sextile (forming, 1.9 degrees) with natal Saturn

This transit is strongest (within 2 degrees) from 6/11/00 to 7/20/00, exact on 6/29/00; and 11/6/00 to 1/2/01, exact on 12/1/00 R; and 2/15/01 to 4/7/01, exact on 3/18/01.

The planetary energies flow together, open into new possibilities, new connections.

This is a time of harmonious working out of your life plans, and a time of preparation for changes to come, but not a time of great change for the present. The structure of your life is being supported by circumstances now, and there is little pressure for things to be very different from what they have always been. You tend to be introspective and practical at this time, and reflect on what you consider to be your duty in life. You usually feel on course with your life's direction, perhaps after a period of trial which seems to have ended for now. But of course you must be aware of the possibility of future trials which await you, since life constantly presents itself as a moving target.

You may also feel healing energy come into your life from a meeting with another person during the course of this transit. As another possible result of this transit, issues with ego may come up for you, or issues of self-acceptance versus feelings of rejection. Usually these types of events point to deeper issues which you may not have brought all the way up to your consciousness, but which remain as a source of irritation and frustration operating more or less unconsciously at a deep level of your psyche.

You are very aware of other points of view, and also very idealistic in pursuing your own agenda. You may even imagine goals for yourself or for other people that are more fanciful than realistic and that may never come to fruition.

At this time you are more aware of your limitations and responsibilities than usual. Your self-expression, including your creative potential and your sense of well-being, may appear to be somewhat stifled during this period, and more focus is brought to these areas as a result. Your physical vitality may also be shut down at his time. This transit is good for digging in and getting down to the nitty-gritty of what you are really trying to accomplish.

This transit has the effect of slowing down and bringing a more concentrated awareness to your communication and mental process. Your verbal and written communication may come slowly, which forces you to be deliberate and to concentrate, but this has the benefit of increasing your focus, and you may wind up accomplishing more. Your thought process is also extremely well-grounded and practical at this time. Every decision, every plan you make, has to pass the test of what is it for, in terms of concrete results. Your decision-making process will also come slowly, even painfully, and may tend to be negative or full of doubts about your ability to succeed. But you must try not to be critical or disparaging in your thinking, just be sure of yourself before you go ahead.

You may feel the urge for freedom and the chance to express more of your individuality than can be expressed in the context of your present relationship. One obvious interpretation of this transit is the break-up of a marriage or partnership, but this need not be the case. Since your entire approach to relatedness is changing at this time, it may well be a signal for renewed vitality in your marriage or intimate partnership, based on realizations which have been developing within you for a long time. There may be a sense of dissatisfaction which requires a new approach in order to make things work. It is also likely that professional or business connections will be stimulated during this transit, either in the shake-up or break-down of existing ties, or in the formation of new ones. All in all, this is an exhilarating period of time, when much-needed changes are coming into being in your life.

If you are in the helping professions, or have an interest in alternative medicine you may make great progress in these areas during this transit.

Transiting Pluto in Sagittarius (11 Sag 43) Transiting Pluto in the Fifth House

This transit is strongest (within 1 degrees) from 1/12/95 to 4/25/95, no exact; and 11/7/95 to 2/8/11, exact on 12/3/95, 6/23/96 R, 9/24/96.

At this time you may feel an urge for being recognized and admired. There may be underlying feelings of insecurity leading to rather self-centered and ego oriented behavior, or there may be power-struggles with your children at this time. The challenge is to use your rather considerable powers of creativity wisely, during this period of time, and allow the positive aspects of your unique individuality to come into bloom.

Transiting Chiron in Sagittarius (16 Sag 21) Transiting Chiron in the Fifth House

During this transit, lasting 2 - 8 years, and especially at the beginning of this period of time, your sense of self-expression, your own individual creativity, or possibly your relationship with your children, will be up for a potentially painful period of re-examination and transformation. At this time old wounds concerning your self-esteem may rise up again to haunt you. Or perhaps you may have to undergo a painful period when the way you do your creative work comes into question, and your very belief system alters. The fairly stable self-concept you have operated on for so long may yield to troubling doubts and revelations, so that you are no longer sure of your own ground. These issues are coming up for you at this time for the purpose of getting back behind the superficial and into the real meaning of your soul's evolution. There is a way in which the old tried and true methods of expression no longer serve you, and it can be extremely painful to realize that you must make changes in this area, so close to the manner in which you define yourself. Another concept of ego may be in the process of emerging from its chrysalis, one that take into account a broader viewpoint, and one that transcends old woundings from childhood that have served to limit and constrain you from embodying your truest nature, and living up to your fullest potential.

Transiting N Node in Cancer (17 Can 43R) Transiting N Node in the Twelfth House

The lunar North Node transiting the twelfth house. South Node transiting the sixth. During this transit, usually lasting about 18 months, you may feel a compulsion to be of service to other people. You could suffer from confusion and a loss of identity until you break through to a more universal sense of self. This desire to be of service can take the form of activities which are intended to be helpful, but which may not truly be appreciated by the intended beneficiaries. You may be tempted to work harder and give yourself up even more to serving other people's needs, for that seems a natural and easier way out, rather than beginning to actively engage in the struggle with your own self-concept. You can also exhibit obsessive behavior regarding health issues, or organizational detail. The true purpose of such behavior is to purify the activity involved, and you should beware of it becoming an end in itself. There is a need for transformation in these areas, in order to learn how to be of actual service to others. Your process involves nothing less than the subordination of your personal will to a more spiritual outlook based on your strong feelings of a higher purpose, and a true spiritual unity with your fellow-man.
