Important Features
Transiting Jupiter in strong trine (fading, 0.1 degrees) with natal Moon Focal planet of planetary pattern
This transit is strongest (within 2 degrees) from 5/16/77 to 6/2/77, exact on 5/25/77.
The planetary energies flow smoothly; the connection is easy and beneficial.
You feel a terrific sense of optimism and possibility. You are very sure of and comfortable with yourself, and may also expand your ideas regarding home and family. Your relationships with significant female figures in your life, such as with your mother, may also be full of joyful expansiveness, under the beneficial influence of this transit. What is affected is your feelings and your feminine or nurturing side, the deeper part of yourself, as well as your attitudes toward home and family. All these areas will be seen in a more positive light with the exuberance this transit brings to them. There may be more peacefulness and quiet optimism in your family life than usual, during this period of time. It is a good time to make plans for the future, or to involve yourself with on-going projects which have to do with your home base, such as decorating, or getting something done that needs taking care of around the house. It is a good time to buy a home or real estate, should that possibility be a part of your current situation. You may also want to take advantage of this period to work on family issues, if there are any that need addressing. You will find yourself in a good place to deal with other people during this period of time. If there is a drawback, it is in being so peaceful and content that it is difficult to accomplish your goals; your drive for achievement may be temporally short-circuited. But this is not necessarily a bad thing. Relax, and enjoy the moment!
Transiting Saturn in strong opposition (fading, 0.4 degrees) with natal Moon Focal planet of planetary pattern
This transit is strongest (within 2 degrees) from 8/19/76 to 9/23/76, exact on 9/5/76; and 2/3/77 to 6/13/77, exact on 3/2/77 R, 5/20/77.
The planetary energies are polarized; outer events stimulate their interaction; integration is the challenge.
For this period of time, you may feel lonely and isolated, as you dwell on the self-determined structure of your own life, rather than being able to relate wholeheartedly to friends and family. You may fear close relationships with others during this period of time. Your feelings may seem to be restricted by circumstances or from the standpoint of your own inner development. Either way, you may find yourself moving toward a more self-reliant attitude as a result. As you build confidence in dealing with your own needs, rather than depending on others, you may find an increased sense of responsibility in this area of your life, and more capacity to relate intimately with another person, without fear.
Transiting Uranus in strong square (fading, 2.6 degrees) with natal Moon Focal planet of planetary pattern
This transit is strongest (within 2 degrees) from 11/29/76 to 5/11/77, exact on 1/12/77, 3/19/77 R; and 9/16/77 to 11/23/77, exact on 10/22/77; and 6/1/78 to 9/7/78, no exact.
The planetary energies conflict; internal and creative tensions bring rich rewards through effort over time.
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. Some other ways that this important transit could manifest in your life: you may find yourself feeling restless and bored with your current dwelling or home life, leading you to make drastic 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. Your own unacknowledged desire for change may be bringing these feelings up in you as a prompt for action, even if they seem to be coming up through the medium of an external agency. Although these changes may 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 Pluto in strong trine (forming, 0.3 degrees) with natal Moon Focal planet of planetary pattern
This transit is strongest (within 2 degrees) from 10/7/75 to 5/11/76, exact on 12/7/75, 2/21/76 R; and 7/25/76 to 11/20/76, exact on 9/27/76; and 3/15/77 to 9/16/77, exact on 6/21/77 SD.
The planetary energies flow smoothly; the connection is easy and beneficial.
You are experiencing a process of emotional transformation of some sort, leading to significant and far-reaching changes. Deep rooted emotions, long buried in your unconscious, may come to the surface of your conscious mind. You may become aware for the first time of old patterns that have ruled your behavior from below, as it were, for most of your life, and begin to integrate these feelings into a broader perception of their meaning for you. These feelings usually persist from childhood, when we wanted something that we did not get, and they may exist in the hidden depths of our being as rage, hurt and pain, or feelings of thwarted infantile desire for power. Bringing these issues to the surface is never easy, and in order for that to happen there usually has to be some kind of drastic force in operation. You may find yourself in the midst of a crisis. Perhaps your basic trust in life is threatened in some fashion, or you may feel moody and irritable regarding relationships, or ancient issues with mother could be reawakened. You need to be calm and examine what comes up for you at these times. An important event is unfolding in your psyche. You are being asked to rise to the occasion, to process the material presenting itself to you in your eternal quest for balance and wholeness so that your life may move forward.
Transiting Saturn in strong square (forming, 0.1 degrees) with natal Venus Sole dispositor of chart planets
This transit is strongest (within 2 degrees) from 8/23/76 to 9/28/76, exact on 9/9/76; and 1/28/77 to 6/18/77, exact on 2/23/77 R, 5/27/77.
The planetary energies conflict; internal and creative tensions bring rich rewards through effort over time.
For this period of time, you may feel isolated and involved with your own internal issues rather than with relationships in the outside world. When you do relate outwardly, it will be in a serious sober and practical manner. Saturn slows down your process of relating during this period of time, which enables you to take a closer look at the way you do relationships in general. You may feel cut off from friends and lovers at this time, but there is a reason in regard to your long-term growth. You may need to pay closer attention to these areas of your life, even extending to your values, aesthetic and otherwise. Your values represent what you relate to in your environment. Those relationships which are of importance in your life will become emphasized during the course of this transit, while others may fall away or change dramatically. It may be necessary to slow down in this area in order to focus on what is most important to you in the long run.
Transiting Uranus in strong opposition (forming, 1.9 degrees) with natal Mercury Leading planet of planetary pattern
This transit is strongest (within 2 degrees) from 11/29/75 to 5/1/76, exact on 1/16/76, 3/7/76 R; and 9/15/76 to 11/21/76, exact on 10/20/76; and 5/22/77 to 9/6/77, no exact.
The planetary energies are polarized; outer events stimulate their interaction; integration is the challenge.
Your communication with others is undergoing quite a shake-up at this time. You may experience flashes of insight, or moments of great excitement as new ideas break through to your conscious awareness. Relations with friends or associates may alter due to new patterns of communication with them. This can be very unsettling to your peace of mind. This influence is typically abrupt and full of rapidly developing insights. Your thoughts may become so scattered during the course of this transit that you miss out on completely exploring one thought before a new idea comes along. You may find it valuable to take the best of these new insights and store them away somehow for future reflection, at a later period of time.
Transiting Jupiter in strong square (fading, 2.0 degrees) with natal Chiron
This transit is strongest (within 2 degrees) from 5/8/77 to 5/25/77, exact on 5/16/77.
The planetary energies conflict; internal and creative tensions bring rich rewards through effort over time.
Your religious philosophy and broad intellectual framework are being subjected to a certain amount of suffering and re-examination. Painful experiences in these areas could lead you to a new outlook on life. Also at this time, you may feel a revitalization of the healing awareness within yourself, possibly in connection to the process of work done in connecting to old wounds, received in earlier developmental stages. When we reconnect with repressed and potentially painful feelings that have been buried away in the depths of our psyche we inhabit these rejected parts of ourselves and become more whole. At this time too, you may connect with a higher purpose in the work that you do, especially if this work involves helping people to heal in some way, and to grow in their own understanding of who they really are. You may take up the study of new-age healing techniques during this period, or in other ways inhabit the vision of wholeness and freedom from old pain that you feel emanates from the intuitive clarity provided by your higher self.
Transiting Uranus in strong sextile (fading, 0.7 degrees) with natal Chiron

The planetary energies flow together, open into new possibilities, new connections.
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 Uranus in strong square (forming, 2.2 degrees) with natal Pluto
This transit is strongest (within 2 degrees) from 11/23/75 to 5/8/76, exact on 1/5/76, 3/18/76 R; and 9/9/76 to 11/16/76, exact on 10/15/76; and 5/30/77 to 8/30/77, no exact.
The planetary energies conflict; internal and creative tensions bring rich rewards through effort over time.
This transit affects your urge for self-transformation and regeneration. Conflicts and drastic changes may come up for you during this period of time. You may have new spiritual insights during this period, or find that your will to be different is more powerful than usual. 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 vanish entirely or diminish in their importance.

Usually these events are full of significance for your inner life. These events help you to understand and actualize something in your will to power and in your desire to transform yourself nearer to your true spiritual path (which may be a relatively unconscious desire on your part). This is true especially if other transits to natal Pluto are in effect. In general, for this brief period of time, you are coming closer in touch with your fundamental life process, a process of growth through the death of the old way of being and the birth of the new.

During this brief period of time, you may be blessed to provide the impetus for healing to others. You may also feel healing energy come into your life from a meeting with another person during the course of this transit. It may also be that communication with other people brings to light certain areas of your psyche that you would rather not have exposed, and that can be quite painful for you to connect with. But getting in touch with these areas is for your ultimate benefit, for the more integration you can achieve within your psyche, the more whole you are and the more you can bring yourself forward to be of help to other people on the same journey of discovery.

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.

The planetary energies are polarized; outer events stimulate their interaction; integration is the challenge.
The energy you have for others is changing in some previously unexplored fashion. Even your values or your aesthetic sense could undergo a shake-up during this period of time. These changes are likely to bring on unsettled thoughts and feelings as the underpinnings of your life alter around you. These unsettled feelings may find their outlet in some form of artistic creativity during this period of time. If you are already involved in the arts, you may experiment with new media or techniques under the influence of this transit. The most likely area of your life to experience alteration is your close personal relationships. Usually these relationship changes have been waiting in the wings, so to speak, for some time, and only now are you ready to admit them into your conscious awareness. Any relationships that have accumulated a sense of unconscious frustration over time are now likely to change. Some relationships may end entirely, or they may transform into a new pattern better suited to your changing needs. It is important during this period of time to remember that you can't go back -- change is vital if you are to grow as a human being, since life itself is change.
Transiting Uranus in inconjunct (forming, 0.7 degrees) with natal Uranus

Transiting Pluto in inconjunct (fading, 0.2 degrees) with natal Venus Sole dispositor of chart planets
This transit is strongest (within 1 degree) from 11/17/75 to 3/14/76, exact on 1/14/76 SR; and 9/13/76 to 11/5/76, exact on 10/9/76; and 4/3/77 to 9/3/77, exact on 5/13/77 R, 7/29/77.
The planetary energies do not flow smoothly, one or the other predominates; discrimination must be employed.
You may find some alterations of your close personal relationships during this period of time. Existing associations may change in some way, perhaps frustrations that have been building over time will come to a head, or the relationship may transform itself utterly or some aspect of it come to an ending, at least as it existed before this period of time. During this transit your creative abilities, especially in an artistic sense, could also alter. Even your basic values may undergo transformation at this time. If you are involved in the arts, you may go through some crisis in your work, or drastically change the medium of your expression, becoming a director rather than an actor, for example. Deep-rooted issues which come to the surface also affect your values as well, and there may be changes in what you value or how conscious you are of the importance different values have in your life, and what relative priority you assign to them.
Transiting Jupiter in weak conjunction (fading, 3.4 degrees) with natal Uranus
This transit is strongest (within 2 degrees) from 5/1/77 to 5/19/77, exact on 5/10/77.
The strongest blend of the energies represented by these two planets.
This transit affects your urge for freedom and spontaneity. Feelings of restlessness may come up for you in a big way during this period of time. Sudden departures could become the norm. You may decide to leave on a trip, or your plans for the future could change rather rapidly at any point in time during this period, or a planned educational experience may suddenly alter. You have a real need to express your individuality and your independence at this time, as well as renewed positive energy toward such uniquely personal goals. You will also have new and more powerful spiritual insights during the course of this transit.
Transiting Chiron in weak conjunction (forming, 3.4 degrees) with natal Mercury Leading planet of planetary pattern
This transit is strongest (within 2 degrees) from 6/23/77 to 9/24/77, no exact; and 4/17/78 to 6/28/78, exact on 5/20/78; and 9/28/78 to 4/21/79, exact on 11/11/78 R, 3/18/79.
The strongest blend of the energies represented by these two planets.
You are experiencing painful realizations around the issues of communication and your mental abilities in general. Your communication with others is changing at this time, and you may have difficulties in this area, as old issues from the past return to haunt you, or you have to deal with siblings or your friends in a way that seems less easy and more fraught with pain and uncertainty. It may be that your very mind seems less than reliable at this time, and you may even feel yourself in danger of mental collapse, as new ideas and ways of thinking challenge you to the core of your current belief system. You may also have a powerful urge to communicate at this time, since that is one way to externalize your suffering and make it more real and available to others. It can be a great impetus to artistic expression to have the world coming down in chaos all around you. Ultimately the higher purpose of these challenges is for you to come to terms with a new way of thinking and being in the world, one that throws off the shackles of previous conceptions and launches itself forward, willy nilly, into a brave new cosmos of your own making. It is in this way that you can come through, and heal some of the old issues that have previously plagued you. When you do, you may also be able to share this more holistic vision with your community so that you can have a healing influence on others around you as well.
Transiting Planets
Transiting Sun in Gemini (4° Gem 21' 23") Transiting Sun in the First House
This is a time of the year when your focus tends to be on yourself. It is a time for discovering who you are as a unique individual, and for engaging in the best activities to further that discovery. It is a time which can be spent constructively by reexamining your goals and progress toward them, recharging your batteries with relaxing activity in your best interest, and taking care of yourself generally. Because your will is strongly emphasized, there may be a tendency to push yourself forward at this time, or to dominate others, and you will also have great energy and physical vitality. Whatever experiences come to you at this time, you should try to be ready to use them to the fullest advantage in your life development.
Transiting Moon in Leo (29° Leo 11' 05") Transiting Moon in the Fifth House
At this time, you are very dramatic and creative, also self-confident and assertive, especially at a feeling level. You expect to be the center of attention, and often are. You may share your feelings with others more easily at this time. It is a good time for romance to blossom in your life, or relations with loved ones generally.
Transiting Mercury in Taurus (9° Tau 49') Transiting Mercury in the Twelfth House
During this transit, you can be very moody and introspective, and your thoughts can turn to the deepest levels of your nature. You may feel poetic or visionary at this time, and have more compassion for other people than usual. This transit is concerned with subtle emotions and secret mystical depths, and you may also be very sensitive, and your feelings may be hurt by what other people say to you. It is a good time to reflect on the deeper meaning of existence, rather than the more superficial aspects of life.
Transiting Venus in Aries (20° Ari 32') Transiting Venus in the Twelfth House
During this transit, which usually lasts for about three weeks, you can be very moody and introspective, and not at home in the world. This transit is concerned with subtle emotions and secret mystical depths. At this time, you are truly compassionate, and work best at the level of love and understanding, and service to your fellow man.
Transiting Mars in Aries (21° Ari 26') Transiting Mars in the Twelfth House
This transit is strongest (within 1 degree) from 4/28/77 to 6/29/77, exact on 4/29/77.
During this transit, which usually lasts about six weeks, you can be very moody and introspective, and not at home in the world. You may find yourself making the wrong impression, or simply feel out of touch with your normal level of functioning. You may tire easily, or feel sensitive and withdrawn. This transit is concerned with subtle emotions and secret mystical depths. At this time, you may find that you work best at the level of service to, and love and understanding of your fellow man. It is helpful to strive to be more aware of whatever process of change may be going on within you, and to accept it rather than struggle against it.
Transiting Jupiter in Gemini (11° Gem 24') Transiting Jupiter in the First House
This transit is strongest (within 1 degree) from 6/3/76 to 6/9/77, exact on 6/7/76.
For this period of time (about one year) you have an opportunity to promote yourself and to explore your relationships with others and with the world at large in a positive, creative way. At this time you feel positive and optimistic in your sense of self. There is expansiveness and abundant energy, and usually there is good luck with the material side of life. A feeling of "can do" is likely to be an important part of your self-image during this transit. This is valuable, but may need to be tempered with a healthy sense of limitation.
Transiting Saturn in Leo (11° Leo 40') Transiting Saturn in the Fourth House
This transit is strongest (within 1 degree) from 8/28/75 to 2/8/76, exact on 9/6/75, 1/26/76 R; and 5/14/76 to 9/23/77, exact on 5/25/76.
This transit, which lasts about two to three years, represents a period of time when there are difficulties or restrictions (and also emphasis) in your home life and the expression of your feelings. This is also a time of great building energy, a preparation for the cycle of Saturn through the next fourteen years, culminating in its transit of the tenth house, or your public and professional life. Your desire for security is very important to you at this time, and may take the form of striving for material rewards. You also may feel the need to restructure your living space during this period. You can also be apt to withdraw from close emotional involvements, or there could be some renewed concerns or difficulties with parental care and guidance in your early years. The lesson is to more fully and deeply understand and value your origins, leading to a better sense of security and greater self-acceptance.
Transiting Uranus in Scorpio (8° Sco 44'R) Transiting Uranus in the Sixth House
This transit is strongest (within 1 degree) from 10/7/68 to 4/26/69, exact on 10/24/68, 3/31/69 R; and 7/17/69 to 11/17/78, exact on 8/10/69.
During this transit, lasting about seven years, you will experience some form of disruption and change in the areas of work, health and service to other people. It may be that you will suddenly be able to act on feelings which have been growing over time, telling you that your work is fundamentally unsatisfying to you. Or there may be a radical alteration in your approach to the way you help other people. If you find there has been too much for others and not enough for yourself in the past, you may be motivated to correct the imbalance during this period of time. Or perhaps the opposite correction may be necessary. Your health may also suffer at this time, stimulating you to make necessary changes in nutrition or exercise habits. As these changes come upon you, it may be helpful to realize that life itself is a process of continual change; static process is a contradiction.

There may be a love of sensual pleasures or luxuries during this period of time, or there may be an interest in psychic matters or in occult studies, and you should beware of glamorizing such studies for the sake of your own ego.

During this transit, usually lasting about 14 or more years, you may feel a compulsion to be of service to other people. This compulsion can take the form of activities which are intended to be helpful, but which may not truly be appreciated by the intended beneficiaries. There can also be 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, such as a career in the helping professions, or work on your own issues in such a way as to regenerate your values and life direction.
Transiting Chiron in Taurus (3° Tau 27') Transiting Chiron in the Twelfth House
During this transit, lasting 2 - 8 years, and especially at the beginning of this period of time, your deepest feelings regarding yourself may alter, causing you to undergo a potentially painful period of re-examination and transformation. During this period of time you may find that you are not at home in the world of physical manifestation, but rather seek to define yourself in terms of your own private universe. You may feel that there is a reason for this kind of out of touch behavior, and wonder what it might be. It is important to trust your inner process at this time and let it take you where it wants to go. It may be that old wounds from your childhood come up at this time, perhaps they are the deep-seated residue of past trauma that are locked away in your psyche and only come out at night. Even so, these issues can have an important effect on your conscious life, and may prevent you from fully participating in the so-called "real" world. If you face these issues with the full force of your more mature understanding you can make great progress in eliminating their power to hurt you. Then they will cease to prevent you from the fullest expression of your higher self, the self that brought you into manifestation in order to become.
Transiting N Node in Libra (23° Lib 29'R) Transiting N Node in the Sixth House
The lunar North Node transiting the sixth house. South Node transiting the twelfth. During this transit, usually lasting 18 months, you may suffer from feelings of uneasiness and doubts regarding your self-worth. You may feel confined and limited in the physical world, perhaps feeling more at home in the world of unconscious fantasy. You may even have a tendency for compulsive escapism. You could suffer from confusion and a loss of identity until an effort is made in shaking off previous self-concepts, and moving toward a more universal sense of self. This involves nothing less than the subordination of the personal will to a more spiritual outlook based on the needs of others or of society at large. You will find yourself lost and confused until you actually get into gear and work for yourself and others in the world of concrete reality. During this transit, there are great personality changes in the making.
