Month Soul Guide – PCA Argus – Interpretation

As the planets move though the heavens on their orbits they form angular associations (Transits) with the positions they occupied when you were born. This report offers interpretations of their influence and apparent affects, together with the information and inspiration that will help you to understand their significance in your life, and to make the most of them.

Understanding your report

Your Year or Month Guide is therefore a representation of how the planets, as they move, are influencing the planets and points in your Birth Chart and shows Keyphrases and Theme, along with the Possible encounters.

Repeating waves of influence appear as repeated paragraphs in the interpretations, this is natural and will occur over time.

Timing – influences can be felt for some days or even months before or after the given dates, You should also bear in mind that the accuracy of your given birth time can greatly affect the timing of the interpretations, especially to your Ascendant or Midheaven.

Important

If yours is an unknown birth time, then disregard altogether paragraphs relating to your Ascendant, Midheaven and Moon, for these would only be reliable if you just happen to have been to have been born around noon.

From about: 1 Jun 2013 to about: 1 Jul 2013

*Pluto Trine Uranus

Significance: This is a medium-strength influence that allows you to make progress with relative ease and support. It rewards past efforts.

Keyphrases: Radical Transformation – Thorough Overhauls – The Power of Freedom

Theme: Opportunities to become more involved with your Uranus Profile, through identifying your individual effect on the greater whole, and your place in it.

This is a good time for feeling more a part of the positive changes that are occurring generally in the world around you. Chances offer themselves now to use your own uniqueness in order to further such changes, or to simply contact what is utterly original about you. So you can begin to feel a ‘Citizen of the World’ or at least take a rewarding and alternative look at your own potentials, with the view to expressing them better.

Possible Encounters: New or Regenerated Friendships – New Insights & Liberties

From about: 1 Jun 2013 to about: 1 Jul 2013

*Pluto Conjunct Mars New Cycle

Significance: This is a very strong influence. It energises the situation in hand and both forces and enables you to advance and grow.

Keyphrases: Enforced Independence – Surfacing of Power Drives – Transformation

Theme: The absolute empowerment of your Mars Profile, through your manner of self-assertion or sexual expression being changed in some way – deliberately or otherwise. Once-in-a-lifetime start of a new ‘Deep-Self-Assertion Cycle’.

Mars supplies you with the uncompromising desire to get what you truly want from life, which includes the mettle for preventing others from abusing you – something that could happen if you continue to ignore your own desires now. However, this does not mean being merely selfish – if you were you would find yourself very much out on your own or drawing someone or something else’s superior fire-power.

Such isolation or defeat could occur in any event though, because the main dynamic here is one of getting you in touch with a deeper and truer sense of survival or sexuality or sheer self-determination. So this is quite a tough one, for it involves you having to confront, or be confronted by, forces within you and/or outside of you that are extremely raw, powerful and uncompromising.

This means that you should endeavour to put yourself forward as boldly as possible, and tell yourself that it is unlikely that you will be able to weather the storms that either threaten or descend upon you now through just being nice or reasonable. At the same time however, avoid unnecessarily dangerous situations, and aim to come through it all with a far stronger sense of identity.

Possible Encounters: Power Trips – Intense Sexuality – Ego Conflicts – Violence

From about: 1 Jun 2013 to about: 1 Jun 2013

*Sun Square Uranus

Keyphrases: Highlighting Uniqueness and Individuality – Expect the Unexpected

How you experience this influence has everything to do with how in touch you are with what is special about life in general and yourself in particular. If you have allowed your life to become too routine and predictable than something or someone could appear on the scene to give you a shock or a jolt, or at least remind you that the world is a wild and extraordinary place. Alternatively, you could be the one to shock others by revealing what is rebellious or highly original about you. Why not make this a date with the unexpected by doing something you’d never normally do? Then with the element of surprise on your side, there is no telling what new ideas or vistas could open up in front of you.

*Mercury Square Uranus

Keyphrases: Scattered Thoughts – Stuck For Words – Indiscretion – Crossed Lines

Whatever is new or unusual now catches your interest. Then again it might be a disruptive element that intrudes upon your working and thinking. In any event, some new method or style is available or necessary. If you are in tune and in time with any necessary changes, then as if by magic, the right person, thing or opportunity appears on your scene. If you are of a nervous disposition, you could feel more jumpy than usual. If this is the case, do some deep breathing or chill out in some way that you know works for you. Your mind is speeded up now, and can be very alive to ideas and inventions. A great deal depends upon how procedure driven or free-spirited you are. The former ‘will’ attracts disruption, the latter attracts innovation. Another interesting aspect of this influence is that you either find yourself stuck for words, losing your thread while speaking, or, you can be very intuitive and outspoken. Then again, you may find yourself speaking out of turn, or saying something inappropriate. Everything depends on how informed you are regarding a given subject. Machines, especially computers, could play up now.

From about: 1 Jun 2013 to about: 1 Jun 2013

*Sun Sextile Jupiter

Keyphrases: Positive Thinking – Knowing The Plan – Goodwill – Luck

You are in a good frame of mind as you are in touch with the better sides of your life and personality. It is as if you can see how you fit in with the greater whole, you feel that everything is for the best, and you have some sense of how things will pan out alright. So with anything that is particularly oiled by having Lady Luck on your side, now is a good time to go for it, notwithstanding other influences to the contrary. You are also quite likely to encounter positive and encouraging people at this time.

*Mercury Sextile Jupiter

Keyphrases: Seeing the Whole – Getting a Plan – Philosophical Thinking

Organisation and furtherance are the allies available to you at present. Having all the facts at your fingertips, seeing how the general fits in with the particular, linking the local to the global, the everyday to the profound – perceptions like these now come more easily to you, allowing you to put forward, create or resolve whatever issues are in front of you. Whether it is finding the meaning of things, or translating one thing into another, your deductive mind and intuitive mind are now working in concert. Now is the time when you can accurately get the picture, or be put in it.

From about: 1 Jun 2013 to about: 1 Jul 2013

*Uranus Trine Ascendant

Significance: This is a medium-strength influence that allows you to make progress with relative ease and support. It rewards past efforts.

Keyphrases: Freely Relating – Unique Presentation – Unusual Circumstances

Theme: Opportunities to refresh your Ascendant Profile, through adopting a new and different way of relating and expressing yourself.

This is not an especially powerful influence, but the more you spot the fact that you are now seeing the world in quite an original fashion, then the more you will enjoy the interesting and highly individualistic connections that you are attracting.

And one thing can lead to another, with you possibly getting to know certain people that can introduce you to a world that is more to the fore of social evolution. So don’t sit on what might appear to be quirkiness in your manner of behaving, for such is the hallmark of your individuality – which is currently your most valuable asset.

Possible Encounters: Stimulating Company – Alternative Occupations

From about: 1 Jun 2013 to about: 1 Jun 2013

*Venus Square Midheaven

Keyphrases: Home/Work Conflicts – Spread A Little Happiness

Love and social life is now inclined to get in the way of your professional or domestic concerns. A case of business and pleasure not mixing, you could say. This could just be a passing thing, or then again it could be something more weighty and important, making itself felt. Being diplomatic and as pleasant as possible to whoever you have dealings with is the best course now.

From about: 1 Jun 2013 to about: 3 Jun 2013

*Sun Opposition Ascendant

Keyphrases: Highlighting Relationship Issues – Acceding To Others

The solar spotlight is now upon your relationships or social life in general. Quite what certain others mean and are doing in your life becomes clearer now – so, pay attention! Significant others will appear even more significant, and what or who does not matter will be obvious, or it should be. Alternatively, or additionally, someone important could now enter your life, especially if there are other more longstanding influences occurring, which indicate such an encounter.

*Mercury Opposition Ascendant

Keyphrases: Intellectual Encounters – Counselling – Criticism from Other

You now receive mental or verbal feedback concerning the way you come across, getting to know what others make of you – be it good or bad. You could come across someone or something that is very stimulating intellectually. If you want a reliable soundboard, now is the time to find one – but make sure you listen.

From about: 4 Jun 2013 to about: 12 Jun 2013

*Jupiter Opposition Sun

Significance: This is a strong influence, and usually attracts confrontations that in turn increase your awareness of the matter concerned.

Keyphrases: Increased Sense of Self – Full Life – Self-importance – Overextended

Theme: Forced emphasis on your Sun Profile, giving you a stronger sense of being alive – for better or worse.

If you are normally on the shy or self-effacing side, now is a good time to get more in touch with your self-esteem and sense of enterprise, or you will encounter an excess of the same qualities in others. If you are usually fairly (or apparently) confident, you could find yourself being overbearing, too busy – and unlucky, through expecting too much. In either case though, there should be an urge to expand – but how you gauge this is the critical issue.

Possible Encounters: Opportunities for Growth – Big Egos – Fat Chances – Joy

From about: 4 Jun 2013 to about: 6 Jun 2013

*Sun Square Pluto

Keyphrases: Experiencing Power: Degeneration or Regeneration

The underlying fact of life that everything is born, evolves, decays, dies and is born again now enters your consciousness – in some way, great or small. The opportunity to tune into this cycle of birth and rebirth is well worth taking up, because it gives you a glimpse of the fact that you are a vital part of this cycle. As such, you may sense what is profound and powerful in you and your life, or what is wasteful and degenerate – but you will probably have to peer or delve some way beneath surface appearances in order to do so. You may also encounter manipulators of this power – be they benign or malignant. It could well become necessary for you to let go of decadent elements, and strive towards regenerative ones.

*Mercury Square Pluto

Keyphrases: Sleuthing It – Mental Preoccupation – Disturbing Undercurrents

Whatever galvanises you or demands your complete attention is going to appear on the scene now. This could be in the form of a letter, a conversation, a book, or even an old question or feeling that pops to the surface to be looked into. Things that involve a mystery, like a whodunit, can really grab you at this time. Crime or the underworld, or the seamy side of life, can also suck you in – but probably only on a mental level – but watch it, all the same. Having to perform work that requires deep concentration is very possible.

From about: 6 Jun 2013 to about: 8 Jun 2013

*Mercury Sextile Uranus

Keyphrases: Synchronicity – Being In The Know – Unusual Connections

Being mentally in tune with new ideas, methods and technology is the advantage that this influence offers you. It is as if you can intuitively put your finger on whatever or whomever you need to make contact with. This is quite simply a time when you are good mental and verbal form, so earmark it for those tasks and appointments that require such mental acuity.

From about: 6 Jun 2013 to about: 8 Jun 2013

*Mercury Square Jupiter

Keyphrases: Saying Too Much – Not Seeing the Forest for the Trees

You are now put in touch with all you need to know. However, this can be a double-edge weapon, for on the one hand it could find you able to organise various items or activities into an effective whole, or on the other hand, find you confused as ideas and conflicting considerations flood your mind, giving rise to a ‘brain-jam’. Marshalling your thoughts is therefore both the issue and Opportunity at present. Ultimately, you are gaining some kind of understanding now, be it about something specific or something general. Out of this, a philosophical overview can be arrives at, thereby accommodating anything that is presently going on in your life. Another possible expression of is thinking, speaking and/or acting out of a sense of opinion rather than a firm fact. Such succumbing to generalisations posing as the truth could set you up for embarrassment or a lot of wasted time, or both, as you bluff and exaggerate your way into or out something. So get the facts straight – that is, unless you are quite happy to pontificate. Dealing with foreign matters or people could also be an issue now – again, worthy of detailed consideration.

From about: 6 Jun 2013 to about: 8 Jun 2013

*Mercury Opposition Mars

Keyphrases: Forceful Words and Thinking – Count To Ten – Getting a Lot Done

It is as if everything has bells on now, and the slightest wrong word or movement sets them jangling. There is a danger of speaking out of turn or saying something you come to regret, so try to think before speaking – or acting, for that matter. You may feel justified in getting heated over a certain issue, but there is a strong possibility that the only satisfaction you get ultimately is from merely feeling justified. Your ‘opponent’ if so disposed, they could make you eat your words at a later date, or you may not have a ‘later date’ to say anything at all, justifiable or otherwise. At this time it pays to look at what it is in you that causes you to feel ineffectual or overlooked in any way. This will not only supply you with useful information which you can then do something constructive about, but it would prevent you having a run in with someone or something (like a car or sharp object) that has nothing to do with it other than the fact that they trigger your anger and frustration which is born of a complex about self-assertion and getting what you want in life.

From about: 9 Jun 2013 to about: 11 Jun 2013

*Sun Trine Saturn

Keyphrases: A Sense of Order – Highlighting Discipline and Economy

You should be functioning well over these few days, so it is good time to get more organised, devise a plan, or even embark upon some important undertaking assuming other indications are not unfavourable. You are presently more than usually inclined to get down to what needs doing without being or feeling side-tracked by issues that do not bear directly on the job in hand. For now you are more disposed towards structure and efficiency than you are towards whims or sentimentality.

*Mercury Trine Saturn

Keyphrases: Getting Down To It – Efficient Thinking and Speaking – Officialdom

Now you can do with relative ease those boring tasks that you may usually put off. Mental discipline comes more naturally to you now, and people in authority, like bosses or officials, can be dealt with more effectively – they themselves will also seem more amenable or efficient. Any kind of work, study or communication is favoured now, but more so the practical rather creative type. You find it easier, and more immediately satisfying, to get organised. Things fall into place, especially if you do, or have done, the groundwork.

From about: 9 Jun 2013 to about: 17 Jun 2013

*Jupiter Square Midheaven

Significance: This is a strong to medium influence that challenges you to develop in proportion to your current strengths and weaknesses.

Keyphrases: Inflating Status – Increasing Ambition

Theme: A forced emphasis upon your Midheaven Profile, giving rise to a greater sense of professional or personal scope, but also an inclination to over-estimate your capabilities.

It is best to look upon this time as ‘shot in the arm’, which gives you that extra bit of confidence that you need to get on in life. But that’s all it is: a leg up the ladder of life. If you go scrambling for fame or recognition, it might work, but it will definitely prove meteoric, with you coming crashing down not much later. Or you could find yourself spread too thinly, leaving personal as well as professional commitments unfulfilled. A push will get you started now, but you’ll need talent and persistence to keep going.

Possible Encounters: Bold Ventures – A Step Up – Fanciful Promises

From about: 10 Jun 2013 to about: 12 Jun 2013

*Mercury Sextile Pluto

Keyphrases: Sleuthing It – Powerful Words and Thoughts – Deep Study

If you have a job to do that requires your undivided attention, do it now. Not only is your mind on relatively good form, and can work into the night, you are also in the frame of mind where you can repel any interference powerfully, even ruthlessly if need be. You know that you have to see whatever it is through, no matter what.

From about: 10 Jun 2013 to about: 1 Jul 2013

*Pluto Square Jupiter

Significance: This is a strong to medium influence that challenges you to develop in proportion to your relevant strengths and weaknesses.

Keyphrases: Regenerating Faith – Eliminating Outworn Beliefs – Great Plans

Theme: Having to become more deeply aware of your Jupiter Profile, through the intensification of what you do or do not believe in.

The questions that you have to be asking yourself now are: What is my philosophy of life? How important is it? What am I prepared to give up for my beliefs? In what way, if any, should I temper my opinions? Can I live up to my own promises, convictions or expectations? Other people challenge you over these issues, and difficulties arise from your being unsure whether to compromise or not, or from being absolutely unwilling to bend at all.

This obviously involves your deepest principles – or insecurities resulting from not really having any. This period will determine whether or not you are over- or under-estimating your potential for success or for influencing others. You may well find yourself making an important journey, a date with fate. Whether this journey takes place outwardly or inwardly, it will or should shake you to the core, make the Earth move, even cause you to tremble with a sense of some Superior Being – for that is what you are instinctively after.

Possible Encounters: A Great Leap Forward – A Big Step Backwards – Righteousness

From about: 10 Jun 2013 to about: 12 Jun 2013

*Venus Square Jupiter

Keyphrases: Overdoing It – Pleasure Versus Morality – Overspending

Depending on your usual propensity for good fortune or giving/having a good time, this influence will provide you with a strong sense and/or experience of what is enjoyable about life. Taking in anything that enlivens or entertains is very well starred now – whether you are in an active or passive role. You have a lust for life at present – but watch your pocket or appetite, unless you are quite prepared to say it was worth the price, no matter what. You feel luckier than at other times – but that feeling will very likely prove thoroughly unreliable! Any kind of promise now, made by you or to you, could also prove hard to keep, so a bit of caution and a pinch of salt is required at present.

From about: 10 Jun 2013 to about: 12 Jun 2013

*Venus Opposition Mars

Keyphrases: Love At Odds With Sex – Attracting and/or Attracted

You are very much in the mood for sexual and/or romantic experience, or simply to feel socially alive. Depending upon your temperament and availability, such an experience, or at least the opportunity for it, could arise right now, or, it would be a good time to plan for such an occasion, or, failing all of these, it could be a time of frustration if these matters have been put on the backburner. Then again, out of the blue could come an experience that kind of pleasurably highlights the current state of affairs in your love/sex/social life – even precipitating you into an affair or relationship. All in all though, this has the potential an enjoyable and exciting time – but be wary of your own shortcomings with respect to these areas being exposed. Attractive, artistic or simply likeable people appear on the scene to sweeten your life – or you could be the one being this for someone else.

From about: 11 Jun 2013 to about: 12 Jun 2013

*Venus Sextile Uranus

Keyphrases: The Electricity Of Love – Unusual Attractions – Unexpected Pleasure

There is a sparkle to sexual, social or creative activities. A certain type of freeness pervades your involvements that can give rise to new forms of pleasure of expression, exciting contacts and new groups of people. A good time to get out and experiment with life and society, to see what it has on offer. Gatherings go with a swing, people show their more original or quirky sides.

From about: 12 Jun 2013 to about: 14 Jun 2013

*Mercury Opposition Mercury

Keyphrases: Disagreement – Nervous Energy – The Devil Makes Work For Idle Hands

Irritation, a lack of relevance, bad communication, work setbacks, inappropriate thinking – these are some of the things that could dog you at present. To avoid such frustrations or simply feeling at a loose end, find an optimum environment for getting down what has to be done. This could well mean working on your own somewhere, or keeping intrusions down to a minimum in some other way. All forms of communication could become a nuisance or be unreliable, with the proverbial wires getting crossed. Again, seek to minimise difficulties by avoiding having important decisions dependent upon making a specific contact or travel connection. Look for a more suitable time for such activities.

From about: 12 Jun 2013 to about: 15 Jun 2013

*Mercury Trine Neptune

Keyphrases: The Inspired Mind – Mystical or Psychic Attunement

If you have been after an answer or inspiration from out of the ether, this is the time you are very likely to receive it. This does not mean to say that it will come whatever you are doing. It may, but it would be better to be focussed upon the issue of your concern, then – magic! Doing anything of a creative, therapeutic or entertaining nature is profitable or advisable at this time. Any experience involving the natural or spirit world is good ‘medicine’ right now – it may even come to you unbidden.

From about: 13 Jun 2013 to about: 16 Jun 2013

*Mars Sextile Jupiter

Keyphrases: Acting with Conviction – Fortunate Moves – Exhorting Others

You can get a lot done during this period, and encourage others to greater effort and achievement too. All physical activities, particularly sports, can be favourably embarked upon. You feel more sure than usual, and so it is a good time to further your objectives. Planning and decision-making are also well starred because you have a greater than normal sense of all the elements that are in play.

From about: 13 Jun 2013 to about: 16 Jun 2013

*Mars Square Uranus Hot!

Keyphrases: Asserting Individuality – Provoking the Unexpected

A time to discover your freedom to be and find out who you really are. You are now sharply made aware of this freedom, whether you think you want it or not! So you could find yourself feeling restless, uncomfortably restricted, or easily agitated by others’ expectations of you. You need the space to be yourself. The more that you recognise this, then the more free you will feel to do your own thing or start something new, without feeling insecure because of having to break away from the norm. At the other extreme, if you suppress or are totally unaware of your need for freedom, then be ready for a shock that is in aid of waking you up to it – like an accident or someone close to you asserting their need for freedom.

From about: 14 Jun 2013 to about: 16 Jun 2013

*Venus Sextile Pluto

Keyphrases: Loving Deeply – Genuine Attraction – Sexual Pleasure

You are drawn to what is deep and dark – but probably without feeling controlled or compromised by such a feeling, such as can often be the case. If in a relationship, you now have the experience or opportunity of feeling in touch with the nucleus of what binds you together, yet in a way that is very right, fated even. This influence could possibly trigger the start of an important relationship, but there would probably have to be other, longer-standing planetary effects to make it so.

From about: 15 Jun 2013 to about: 17 Jun 2013

*Venus Opposition Mercury

Keyphrases: Bad Buys – Indiscretion – Feelings At Odds With Words

Feelings and values are presently in conflict with how things are seen or communicated. This can give rise to misunderstandings, especially between loved ones. You should be careful not to let a molehill be turned into a mountain, for really this influence should only amount to a ‘life and life only’ type of irritation that has no real lasting effect. However, if there is something bigger brewing beneath the surface, then this could bring it out in the open. But it is an ill wind that blows nobody any good, for with a bit of self-control and a few well-chosen, preferably loving, words, again rather than a loss could be on the cards. Apart from these more serious areas, be on guard against impulse buys or retorts you later come to regret.

From about: 16 Jun 2013 to about: 18 Jun 2013

*Sun Opposition Sun

Keyphrases: Ego Conflicts – Me Versus The Rest – Cool It!

This is not a time to see eye to eye with others, for you are confrontation prone, whether you like it or not. You can use this affect to get a reading of how you and another, or the world in general, squares up to you, but by and large it is best during these few days either to take the line of least resistance, or to soldier on if needs must.

*Mercury Opposition Sun

Keyphrases: Communication Challenges – Pressing Work Issues – Spats

If you start feeling a bit overwrought during this time, then take few deep breaths – or better still do some breathing exercises. If you are prone to insomnia this influence could exacerbate it as you are more than usually inclined to working everything out in your head. As your mind and ego are kind of hooked up together now, try not to blurt out the first thing that comes into your head for you may regret it. For the same reason, for maximum mental harmony, keep your mind focussed only upon serious issues, or paradoxically upon humorous ones. Arguing for arguing sake could be a waste of time and energy now, and also could get you into hotter water than you’d bargained for.

From about: 16 Jun 2013 to about: 19 Jun 2013

*Mars Opposition Ascendant Hot!

Keyphrases: Arousing Opposition – Lovers’ Tiffs – Combined Effort Wins

It’s unlikely that you will get through this period without someone getting your goat, or you getting theirs. Whatever issues have been swept under the carpet are bound to jump out now. So be prepared for such a confrontation, and muster as much objectivity as possible concerning your position in relation to somebody else, and vice versa. Ideally, finding some common goal, and working towards together, is the way to handle Mars travelling over this sensitive part of your chart. Avoid making a crisis out of a drama.

From about: 16 Jun 2013 to about: 18 Jun 2013

*Venus Trine Neptune

Keyphrases: Love Dreams – Pleasing Fantasies – Artistic Inspiration

Any feelings or ideas regarding love, sex, music or art – or social life generally – are now nicely attuned to your ideals and visions of a better life. None of this is particularly dynamic, but this gentle, almost ‘hippie’ type, influence can be very enjoyable. This is a good time to put aside for any pursuit or pastime that comes into these categories.

From about: 17 Jun 2013 to about: 19 Jun 2013

*Sun Square Midheaven

Keyphrases: Private Life/Public Life Balance – Parental Conflicts

Try and meet both personal and business obligations equally, even though everything will be coming at you from all sides. This only lasts a few days, so don’t overreact to difficulties and thereby make things as bad as they momentarily appear to be.

*Mercury Square Midheaven

Keyphrases: Bad Connections at Home or at Work

Your private life and your public life tend to get in the way of one another at this time. Try to create a balance here, and avoid feeling frustrated if nothing seems to gel or becomes unstuck, for this influence is brief as a rule.

From about: 19 Jun 2013 to about: 22 Jun 2013

*Mars Square Pluto Hot and Heavy!

Keyphrases: Triggering Fate – Stimulating Powerful Urges

This can spark off things that have a long-lasting effect. This is because you feel strongly about anything that is currently happening to you, and so you are liable to act upon it. For example, this could involve a sexual encounter that has a deep effect upon you, or an intense meeting or conflict with someone, or anything that really gets to you – possibly in an obsessive way. Your ‘gun’ is ‘loaded’ right now, so be careful where you point it. Stay away from any areas that are potentially violent or dangerous. Using this sense of power that you currently feel, can be very effective if used wisely, or quite damaging if used in a mean, manipulative or unaware fashion.

From about: 21 Jun 2013 to about: 23 Jun 2013

*Venus Opposition Moon

Keyphrases: Emotional Discomfort – Discord with/between Females – Let It Be

This need not necessarily be a difficult time – it can in fact turn out to be quite pleasurable. However, there is an inclination for social and domestic needs to get in the way of one another. This can also include disharmony on the home front, conflict between mother and lover, or being too accommodating and having to pay the price. Inherent in all this though, is a need for peace, so that upsets are usually righted quite soon afterwards. Feelings and values may clash, but the requirements of security and harmony eventually hold sway.

From about: 21 Jun 2013 to about: 1 Jul 2013

*Mercury Opposition Moon

Keyphrases: Logic Versus Feelings – Gossip and Trivia

Time could be wasted with gossiping and small talk – then again, it might be very thing that makes you feel in tune with your immediate environment. You are more mentally in touch with your feelings at this time, so you may learn a lot on this front, as well as making it clear to others how you feel, and conversely, receiving from them how they feel. Saying too much could be something to watch out for, as too would be getting into a confrontation with a neighbour, colleague or family member. Then again, it could be precisely such a confrontation that made to more aware of your own and another’s feelings, generally speaking or with regard to some specific matter.

From about: 22 Jun 2013 to about: 23 Jun 2013

*Venus Opposition Venus

Keyphrases: Spending Too Much – Spending Too Little – Indulgence or Pleasure?

This is not really a problem except that you are inclined to overdo it – or conversely not push the boat out enough. It all depends on what place you give to love and pleasure in your life. If you are naturally generous, affectionate or fun-loving, then this time will probably be enjoyable for you – although you might have a hangover or blown budget to contend with afterwards. If you usually have a hard time giving of yourself and being socially satisfied, this influence is trying to show you why, and how you could remedy such a dilemma. The secret is generosity – on any or all levels – to be aware that another’s happiness is ultimately your own too. Without tuning into Venus in a positive way, you can simply feel more anti-social, unattractive, or worthless.

From about: 22 Jun 2013 to about: 1 Jul 2013

*Mercury Opposition Venus

Keyphrases: Not Saying or Seeing It Right – The Need for Diplomacy

This is a time when logical thought is at odds with the emotional or aesthetic side of life. Not seeing eye-to-eye with a member of the opposite sex is highly likely, as one of you wants to make sense of things, while the other wants to feel right about something. One of you might want to talk while the other wants to experience affection or sensual pleasure. None of this can poses a big problem unless you let it, for this is just a passing phase when you are out of phase with whoever is close to you. It is also a time when work issues can get in the way of personal ones, or vice versa, so avoid mixing business with pleasure. If you already have been doing so, then this could prove an awkward time for you. Sorting out love problems is quite likely, and desirable too. But be wary of the above described inclination of speaking in different ‘languages’ to one another. Try to meet each other half way – it’s the only way at present.

From about: 24 Jun 2013 to about: 26 Jun 2013

*Venus Sextile Midheaven

Keyphrases: Charity Begins At Home – Domestic Harmony – Loving Family

This is a mild influence that should help you to use your skills to blend your working and private life, to get one to serve the other. Any artistic or creative flair or project can now gain support from both official and personal spheres.

From about: 26 Jun 2013 to about: 29 Jun 2013

*Mars Trine Saturn

Keyphrases: Disciplined Activity – Concentrated Energy – Steady Work

This period is good for getting down to those tasks that require effort but that are not very exciting. This is because now you are naturally inclined to plod on in an uncomplaining fashion, simply being satisfied in the knowledge that a necessary job is being well done. Painstaking work is also favoured for you are not so easily interrupted or side-tracked.

*Sun Square Jupiter

Keyphrases: Highlighting Expansiveness and Faith – A Sense of Greatness

Whatever it is that you are like normally, now you are more so! Essentially, you are experiencing an urge to grow beyond yourself, and to understand matters in a more comprehensive and philosophical way. So if you do have something of this nature in mind, then now is the time to make it (begin to) happen. But what you allow yourself, and others, to do or be has everything to do with your moral viewpoint, which is presently a vital issue. So for a more rewarding life, now and in the future, you would be wise to cultivate an optimistic and big-hearted attitude, and to be mindful that biting off more than you can chew, or making empty promises, is a sure sign that you are pretending to be larger than life, rather than being actually as large as life.

Whatever else may be going on in your life, this influence helps you to see it as part of a greater pattern or long-term process of development. You also gain insights into what is unique about yourself, and others too – and you begin to appreciate more what freedom actually means. Additionally, this is a good time to involve yourself with subjects that take a greater overview of life, like science and technology, astronomy, astrology, psychology, etc.

*Sun Opposition Mars Hot!

Keyphrases: Highlighting Personal Drive, Sex Life, Courage and Decisiveness

Mars is symbolic of that force within and around you that make it possible to go for and get something or someone; it also represents the urge and the right to do so. How good or bad or indifferent you are when it comes to expressing your Mars qualities is currently an issue. Being active, independent, forthright or bold now, is a sign that you know what you are after, and how and when to act. Experiencing – either in yourself or another – anger, abusiveness or excessive use of force would be a sign that you need to look at what you yourself are angry about, at what you want, and at what you must do in order to obtain it or so that you no longer want it.

General ways of making good use of your Year or Month Guide

1. Quite apart from the actual Radix Planet(s) being transited at any given time, a predominant influence upon your life by a particular transiting Planet may be interpreted accordingly:

Pluto Transits – These are, or should be, life changing in a profound way. Pluto’s influences are those of intensification, upheaval, elimination (of what is outworn), probing and deepening, purging, obsessing or concentrating, and are empowering or dis-empowering.

The best way to respond to Pluto is therefore through letting go of what or who you no longer need or is no longer there; getting more in touch with your deeper urges, feelings and fears; recognizing what or who is powerful in your life; and making the distinction between a positive expression of power and a negative one.

A Plutonian period in your life can be likened to a journey down and through, or an encounter with, the Underworld – that is, your deep subconscious mind. A Pluto Transit to one Radix Planet lasts around two to three years overall.

Neptune Transits – These are, or should be, life-changing in a subtle way. Neptune’s influences are those of sensitisation, softening, mystification, fascination, temptation, inspiration, compassion, delusion, addiction, irritation, and are enlightening or undermining.

While very much under its influence – for Neptune is like a drug or gas, literally or metaphorically – you are advised to let things take their course without struggling or resisting too much, go with the flow, but at the same time avoid giving in to your weaknesses. Any pursuit that relieves, enlightens or entertains is a positive way of channelling

Neptune’s influence – like healing, music, painting, writing, dancing, acting, any activities involving water, or that transcend the ego, like meditation, yoga, mysticism, etc. Most of all, an attitude of acceptance is appropriate.

A Neptunian period in your life can be likened to a voyage across or beneath, or an encounter with, the sea, attuning you to personal undercurrents or collective moods. A Neptune Transit to one Radix Planet lasts around two years overall.

Uranus Transits – These are, or should be, life changing in an unexpected way. Uranian influences are therefore those of revolution, rebellion, liberation, innovation, suddenness, explosiveness, originality, accident, co-incidence, and are awakening or disrupting and out of the ordinary.

The ideal way of responding to Uranus is with open-mindedness, a sense of experimentation, a willingness to look at things with alternative means that may well surprise or shock others, and by appreciating that you are receiving a message or an instruction from your unconscious, even though you might be unaware that such a thing could happen!

In effect then, Uranus is loosening up your idea of reality in order that you may adopt a more scientific, technological or esoteric overview of life processes. So a Uranian period in your life can be likened to flying or seeing the world from a higher vantage point. A Uranus Transit to one Radix Planet lasts around a year to eighteen months in all.

Saturn Transits – These are life stabilizing or life-testing in some way. Saturnian influences are therefore materially supportive or restrictive, consolidating or separative, firm or heavy, authoritative or oppressive, and are generally in aid of getting you organized and of making you aware of the status quo.

So it is advisable to meet Saturn with a sense of practicality, preparedness, matter-of-factness, a willingness to confront issues, and through using time as your instrument rather than being ruled by it. Saturn is about objectivity – which means to say that seeing things for what they are, and establishing and achieving your objectives, can and must be attended to, or begun to be so, under its influence.

A Saturnian period in your life is, or is like, an encounter with a figure of authority – and whether this is helpful or hindering, it is still in aid of your getting yourself together. A Saturn Transit to one Radix Planet lasts about a year overall.

Jupiter Transits – These are life-expanding or life-overdoing in some way. Jupiter’s influences are therefore growth inducing or excessive, faith-inspiring or promising/expecting more than can be delivered, magnifying or exaggerating, and are generally in aid of showing you the bigger picture and how you fit into it, and how you can make more of yourself and life.

It is a good idea to meet Jupiter with a sense of enterprise, optimism and goodwill that is tempered with a sense of modesty and reality, and to keep an intuitive eye out for signs of where you are supposed to go next – for they will be there; and to cultivate enthusiasm for the overall feel of how things are developing, rather than attempting to prove logically or account for everything item by item.

A Jupiterian period in your life can be likened to having a sense, literally or symbolically, of being on life’s highway, with the journeys, adventures, opportunities and destinations that this can lead to, and with the possible realisation that all is in aid of some sort of divine plan. A Jupiter Transit to one Radix Planet can be relatively fleeting or last overall for up to one year.

Month Guides Only:

Mars Transits – These are highly significant, especially when Conjoining, Squaring or Opposing a Radix Planet, because they can trigger the bigger, longer Transits described above, or they fire you up for good or ill. It has to be said that ‘for ill’ usually means losing one’s temper, or someone losing theirs with you or near you. And so knowing your Mars Transits is vital if you wish to avoid or minimise conflagrations. This can also be crucial with regard to driving or sports, for you may be vulnerable to accident and injury during one of them

Mars Transits normally only last two to five days, but sometimes when the Planet goes ‘stationary’, or it transits a number of Radix planets in quick succession, you can have that hair-trigger energy around for up to a month. It cannot be emphasised enough how much knowing your Mars Transits can help you to prevent upsets and regrets, while enabling you to use that energy wisely and productively

Venus Transits – These are mild and usually pleasant, creating harmony and ease. There can be an inclination to indulgence or indolence though! Venus Transits are fleeting unless the planet has gone ‘stationary’ when one will last up to ten days or so.

Mercury transits – These are not that dynamic, but can cause you to feel mentally sharper or more on edge – depending on the type of aspect and your own temperament. Mercury Transits are similar to Venus in duration.

Sun transits – These ‘high-light’ the quality of the planet in your chart that is being transited. The Transiting Sun is indicative of the prevailing life circumstances around you. It indicates whether or not this general current of events is in or out of harmony with you. Sun Transits always last two or three days.

2. Last but by no means least, you need at all times to be aware of the possibility of Psychological Projection. This is probably the most commonly confusing trait of human nature, for it is our inclination to live out unconsciously parts of ourselves through others – because we cannot accept them as coming from ourselves, as they seem either too bad or too good to be true.

So in this way, any Transit can manifest its influences in the life, character, dilemma, or creative expression of one person or many people apparently distinct from yourself – but not really. Introjection, or the taking back of one’s projections is the major key to both self-awareness and the future of Humanity. So watch and wonder, perceive and ponder – and admit it.
