May 12: today Gemini's plans can go ahead with cooperation. Gemini and Libra are in cooperation and plans go smoothly. Aquarius can benefit, too, with a nice social event. Today is a social day.

May 19 is a busy day:

May 19: exact Saturn in Sagittarius trine Uranus in Aries, repeat of December 24, 2016 and repeats November 11, 2017. Creative, expansionary plans are well though-out and go well with groups. Could be a peace-plan is accepted, or at least in place to be finalized in November. Personally, Sagittarius and Aries present a good, creative situation that benefits groups with new ideas and could include Leo.

May 19: exact Mars in Gemini quincunx Pluto in Capricorn. Communication situation is not well received by the corporate power-brokers. Light-hearted or scattered ideas or plans are not well accepted by the established rules. Personally, Gemini needs to adjust to what they consider outmoded or stale situations. The ones in power are stronger.

May 19: Venus in Aries is opposite Jupiter in Libra. Oppositions in astrology mean one-on-one interactions with others, and the planets of Venus and Jupiter want good for everyone. Loved ones may present impulsive ideas or activities to those who have plans in place. For instance, Libra may experience a change in social plans, which are usually received with an "eek!" Cancer and Capricorn may also experience change in plans, but this is okay with them. Leo and Sagittarius have a great day, along with Gemini and Aquarius. Aries is the romantic catalyst, prodding Libra; asking Virgo and Scorpio to adjust. Gemini is their usual scintillating self, Taurus adjusts to a more active day.

May 25: new Moon Gemini, impelling Gemini to more communication and action. This could mean arguments for Sagittarius, irritation for Virgo and Pisces. Libra and Aquarius have good communication and social day; Taurus and Cancer are neutral; Aries and Leo have opportunities for social communication; Scorpio and Capricorn adjust to a flurry of news. 

May 27: see-saw day with communication; especially for Taurus and Libra. Communication is slow and serious and could be delayed, which is frustrating to those who are active. Virgo and Capricorn can help Taurus; Gemini and Aquarius can help Libra. Decisions made today are not firm.

May 28: Yesterday's discombobulation is clear and ideas are accepted. Taurus is able to communicate clearly with financial or creative ideas. Good day for Taurus and Pisces, followed by Virgo, Capricorn, Cancer and Scorpio.

May 29: Mars in Gemini is exact in opposition to Saturn in Sagittarius. Energy is scattered and variable, but pointed to what is supposed to be secure. Plans or ideas are incomplete even though strongly presented. Wait until tomorrow to make decisions. Mars is a planet of war, so if there is an attack, it may be dramatic, but ill-conceived.  The Sun and Moon are in good relationship, revealing the opportunity for good communication. Personally, Leo and Gemini have the opportunity to present solutions. Today is also good for Aries and Sagittarius; and Libra and Aquarius.

May 30: Mars in Gemini is exact in sextile to Uranus in Aries, meaning yesterday's plans or ideas have the opportunity to be accepted by a group with new, progressive ideas. If yesterday was war-like, today is the opportunity to make peace with a brand-new plan. Personally, Gemini has the opportunity to communicate and interact with a group. Libra and Aquarius have a great day; as does Leo and Sagittarius.

May 31: thank goodness, the month ends with practical communication that includes finances, farms or the environment with an established, effective entity. Great day for Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn, followed by Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces.

April 1 through April 30 2017

Dear Patty,  April begins with unexpected solar flares and high solar radiation. Our computers are malfunctioning, there have been radio blackouts and the internet is slow and weird. WHERE WILL THE NEXT FLARE COME FROM? Today, there are two sunspots that pose a threat for strong flares: AR2644 and AR2645. Both have unstable delta-class magnetic fields that harbor energy for M- and X-class explosions. Their locations are circled in this April 4th image of the sun from NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory: Sunspot AR2644 is of special interest. Since the month began, it has produced more than half-a-dozen M-class solar flares, with an equal number of shortwave radio blackouts on Earth. Moreover, this sunspot is magnetically well-connected to Earth Magnetic fields spiraling back from AR2644's location on the sun's western limb lead almost directly to our planet. If AR2644 explodes today, energetic particles accelerated by the blast could be funneled toward Earth, producing a radiation storm above Earth's atmosphere. NOAA forecasters estimate a 70% chance of M-class flares and a 25% chance of X-flares on April 4th. To read from spaceweather.com go here.

April 1: Good day for communicating new ideas. April 2: Venus retrograde backs into Pisces through June 6.

Any plans that have been delayed are quietly put into action to be successful. Scorpio may want to be included to give the long-term picture, but today is short-term. Cancer could feel opposition, and needs to concentrate on the practical. Pisces has the opportunity to offer calm to the situation, but needs to be specific, not dreamy. April 6: Saturn goes retrograde at 27 degrees Sagittarius 47 minutes. If you have a 26 or 27 degree planet, ascendant or midheaven in your chart, you will feel it.

This should be a relatively mild retrograde, but luxury items purchased could be a disappointment later. Retrograde Mercury is not all bad, though. What happens is that experiences repeat during a retrograde period. For instance, when I was working as a temporary secretary, I always got a job under a Mercury retrograde, and knew to apply during a retrograde if I needed another assignment. If you go back to previous retrograde Mercury times, you can learn what good happened then and activate it now. April 11: full Moon in the signs of Libra and Aries, who are the most affected, with relationship issues. Cancer and Capricorn experience a challenging day. Gemini and Aquarius can help with social and diplomacy; Leo and Sagittarius can help with good management and peacemaking. Scorpio and Pisces can help Cancer.

Planetary T-Square in the sky, Aries, Libra & Capricorn

In the sky, the planet Jupiter in Libra is in a 3-degree opposition to Uranus in Aries, and today in opposition to Mercury in Aries. These are in square with Pluto in Capricorn, creating what is called a T-Square.


The opposition is that of trying to balance cooperation and diplomacy with impulsive independence or force. Trying to moderate the situation is financial common sense or established law and order.

What does this mean for you?

The signs of Aries, Libra and Capricorn experience the most tension, with Cancer following. If you have a planet in 19, 20, or 23 degrees in your chart, you will feel it. The signs the degrees are in decide how you experience the T-square. Not every one will be difficult.  The cardinal signs of Libra and Aries experience relationship tension between independence and cooperation. Capricorn can direct cooperation and common sense if they will listen. Cancer can soothe the situation if they are asked.

For instance, if you are an Aries or Libra and are experiencing relationship problems, look to what is stable in your life to ground you or focus on family and home life.

If your degrees are in the fire signs of Leo or Sagittarius, the change is beneficial, with an opportunity for expansion. If your degrees are in the earth signs of Taurus and Virgo, you are in the right place at the right time for renewal, but adjust to a relationship or cooperation. If your degrees are in the air signs of Gemini and Aquarius, you have the opportunity for good change and are in the right place at the right time for expansion.

Aries can be the catalyst, Libra the recipient of the catalyst, Capricorn the common sense stabilizer. Cancer can enter the fray or stay home, but will probably be asked to help the situation.

GLOBAL NEWS

Uranus indicates sudden change, Aries alone, impulsive actions, firearms and vehicles. Jupiter indicates expansion of ideas that include other cultures, Libra cooperation and diplomacy. These are obviously opposing each other. Pluto indicates transformation from one thing to another usually with some upheaval, Scorpio quietly acts to facilitate this change. Pluto, being the T of the T-square, is symbolically trying to manage the situations with established procedures.

The T-square can be seen playing out with tension-filled immigrant situations world-wide. Jupiter would represent the existing population, with change forced upon them symbolically by Uranus in Aries. What was considered stability of government and finances are under strain and are changing, symbolized by Pluto in Capricorn. The empty part of the T-square, Cancer, which represents the homeland, is changing.

Today, the transiting Sun and Venus are in Aries, in square with the USA Venus and Jupiter, revealing short-lived tension.  Tomorrow, March 25, this will be gone and in a few days, Mars will be in a good relationship with Neptune, indicating an opportunity for an ideal solution that could blend fiscal restraint with the ideal. The health-care bill in the House of Representatives is making world-wide news. Other USA news is the nomination of a Supreme Court Judge, and sanctuary cities and universities. There is evident opposition with these situations, too.

London, England, is a Capricorn city, with the Moon opposite in Cancer and Libra rising. This T-square is revealing the obvious violent situation caused by a vehicle, symbolized by Aries. England

England is a Capricorn country, Aries rising and is leaving the European Union. Known as Brexit, England will again be on her own after the process.

You can see that Cancer USA, Capricorn London, and Capricorn England are all going through change represented by this T-square in the sky.

To learn how this T-square may impact you, please contact Patty.

Discovery of Uranus March 1783 and what it means for you

March 13, 1781. Uranus - was discovered on this date, completely by accident. British astronomer William Herschel was performing a survey of all stars of at least magnitude 8 - from slightly too faint to see with the eye, in other words. That’s when he noticed a very faint object - only barely within the limit for viewing with the eye - that moved in front of the fixed stars. This movement clearly demonstrated it was closer to us than the stars. At first he thought he had found a comet. Later, he and others realized it was a planet in orbit around our Sun, the first new planet discovered since ancient times. Full article is here: http://earthsky.org/space/this-date-in-science-uranus-discovered-completely-by-accident. Astronomers later learned they had observed Uranus as far back as 1690. They’d just never really noticed it before. It was Herschel who first realized the true nature of this distant light in our sky.

In 1977, astronomers using the Kuiper Airborne Observatory made another serendipitous discovery - of rings around the planet Uranus. That discovery made Uranus the second known ringed planet in our solar system. The closest we humans have come to Uranus was in 1986, when the Voyager 2 spacecraft swung by the planet. At its closest, the spacecraft came within 81,500 kilometers (50,600 miles) of Uranus’s cloudtops on Jan. 24, 1986. Voyager 2 radioed thousands of images and voluminous amounts of other scientific data on the planet, its moons, rings, atmosphere, interior and the magnetic environment surrounding Uranus.

What does Uranus mean to you?

Uranus is the symbol of independence, friends, groups and change. Uranus is a catalyst, stirring up and breaking apart what has become crystallized or fossilized. Uranus is magnetic, and where Uranus lives in your chart reveals how and where you attract others to you.  Uranus shatters structures your life represented by Saturn,  urging you to move on. Uranus can be likened to the Tower in the Tarot cards.

When Uranus makes a square and opposition to its natal placement in your chart, you experience sudden, unexpected, life-changing situations and relationships in your life. After a prominent personal Uranus transit, your life is refreshingly free and different.

When Uranus changes sign, it reveals challenges to the world status quo. When Uranus went into the sign of Aries in March 2011, challenging the Pisces qualities of peace, compassion and Christianity. Uranus went into Taurus June through October of 1934, then again from April 1935 through May 1942. This is when the United States closed the banks and changed the currency. The entire world changed during these years. The challenge was to the opulent lifestyle of the 1920's. Uranus will go into Taurus May of 2018, so we can expect changes in currency, luxury and a calming down of the current tumult. The greatest challenges will be to those who have natal Uranus in the signs of Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius. We don’t know how the Uranus in Taurus group of people will experience a conjunction.

To discover how this may affect you, please contact Patty.

March 1 through March 312017

March predictions include the president and the USA.

Geomagnetic Storm in Progress March 1 through March 4.

GEOMAGNETIC STORM: A G1-class polar geomagnetic storm is in progress on March 1st as Earth enters a fast-moving stream of solar wind.  This is sparking bright auroras around the Arctic Circle. The solar wind is flowing from a large canyon-shaped hole in the sun's atmosphere and is expected to influence Earth for the next two days. Visit Spaceweather.com for more information and updates. Yesterday, Feb 29, Amazon website went down, and according to news reports caused some websites to be very slow. Blame it on the geomagnetic storm. These geomagnetic storms also affect the weather which can be weird.

March begins with the Sun, Mercury and Neptune in Pisces, with Venus, Mars and Uranus in Aries, Jupiter in Libra, Saturn in Sagittarius and Pluto in Capricorn.

March 1: the geomagnetic storm is strengthening astrological activity. Today the Sun is conjunct Neptune in Pisces and is in effect through March 2. Pisces may have either enhanced intuition or be confused and sleepy. Virgo experiences vagueness in relating with others, Gemini and Sagittarius experience weird or irritating circumstances. Cancer and Scorpio enjoy extra intuition and help from others; Taurus and Capricorn have opportunities to give practical advice to ground others; Aquarius and Aries are neutral; Leo and Libra have days that do not go as expected and need to adjust.

March 1 Pres. Trump: beginning of a cycle when his practical plans are put into motion for calm, measured completion. Saturn and Mars are working well together.

March 2: continued geomagnetic storm and the Sun conjunct Neptune in Pisces. Challenging relationship issues regarding leadership for Libra and Aries, bringing Cancer and Capricorn into the situation. Be careful of impulsive behavior and changes of plans. This is in effect through March 9. Gemini and Aquarius can bring diplomacy and direct group activity; Leo and Sagittarius can manage and bring peace to the situation

March 3: the above relationship challenges continue. Sun and Moon are getting along, revealing the opportunity for both common sense and intuition or creativity to work. Great day for Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn; followed by Pisces, cancer and Scorpio.

March 4: Venus goes retrograde until April 15. It goes retrograde in the sign of Aries and backs into the sign of Pisces on April 2. Venus in Aries is independent and likes to go alone. Being retrograde your loved one may want to do so. This could be irksome to Libra, and mildly challenging to Cancer and Capricorn. Even though Leo and Sagittarius have opportunities for romance, expect it to be fleeting. Gemini and Aquarius would have opportunities for romantic activity that is also fleeting. Virgo and Scorpio adjust to their loved one(s) being more independent. Pisces and Taurus are neutral.  When Venus backs into Pisces April 2, hte energy changes to that of compassion, or feeling sorry for others and discernment is helpful. Pisces, especially, please be aware that your compassionate nature may be called upon. Cancer and Scorpio are in the right place at the right time for romance or helping out, but this is fleeting. Virgo experiences their loved one disappearing; Taurus and Capricorn have opportunities for compassion or romance, again not long-lasting. Leo and Libra adjust to disappearing loved ones. Aries and Aquarius are neutral. Gemini and Sagittarius may be asked to help others.

Venus rules love & marriage, partnerships, money, harmony and diplomacy and the finer things in life.  When it goes retrograde, your money could slow down.  It is good to look ahead and be sure you have enough money to pay your basic expenses during the time Venus is retrograde.  There should be bargains in luxury goods.  If you have plenty of money coming in, there could be unexpected expenses forcing you to be at your basic financial level.  Getting married now is not a good idea.  If you are in a relationship that is not compatible, the differences will arise, asking you to re-evaluate the relationship and make adjustments or end it.  If you are a Taurus, expect money control issues, if you are a Libra, expect challenging relationships.  Relationship troubles are especially focused on the woman in the partnership.  If you begin a new love relationship, something could be wrong with the woman's reason for being with you, which will surface the next time Venus goes retrograde. Venus retrograde in Aries could bring bargains in automobiles and other mechanical items. Venus retrograde in Pisces could bring bargains in movies and related subjects and bargains in romantic-looking apparel.

If you meet a new someone during this time, enjoy the person for a while and re-evaluate it after Venus goes direct April 15 to learn their intentions.

March 4: also, more communication from or about Pisces, and creativity. Virgo experiences vagueness or lack of response to requests for detail; Gemini and Sagittarius the same except they don't get upset about it; Cancer and Scorpio enjoy good communications and intuition; Taurus and Capricorn have the opportunity to give practical advice or ground a situation; Aquarius and Aries are neutral; Libra and Leo adjust to incomplete information.

Great day for Aries, Leo and Sagittarius. Gemini, Libra and Aquarius also have a wonderful, smooth day. Quarter Moon also in the signs of Gemini and Pisces, who could be irritated with each other because of misunderstandings and bring Virgo and Sagittarius into the conversation. Libra and Aquarius can help Gemini; Cancer and Scorpio can help Pisces.

March 6: a good day for Pisces to put creative ideas forward to be accepted, and may be more active than usual. Virgo could be asked to take off work for a day (good idea), Cancer and Scorpio's intuition is high and communication is accurate. Taurus and Capricorn have another opportunity to give good advice or do practical things for the creative or psychic ones. Aquarius and Aries are neutral; Gemini and Sagittarius can be irritated with incomplete or vague communication; Libra and Leo have a day or two where communication is unexpected and they need to adjust. This is in effect yesterday and tomorrow, also.

March 7: Sun and Moon are in harmony, bringing a good day to Cancer, Pisces and Scorpio. Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn have the opportunity to yet again give practical advice that is accepted.

March 7 USA: noticeable in the middle of a month with today exact. Long-term opportunity for real estate, finances and the homeland. This should be a harmonious time for the nation.

March 8: opportunity for a creative idea to be accepted by the effective person; good day (again) for Pisces to communicate, especially to Capricorn. Communication is good for Cancer, Scorpio, Taurus and Capricorn. Virgo again experiences lack of response for detail with Gemini and Sagittarius experiencing irritating communication. Aquarius and Aries are neutral; with Leo and Libra again adjusting to unexpected news.

March 9: Mars goes into Taurus through April 21. Taurus is more active, with this a good time to begin.  Scorpio experiences relationship control issues; Leo and Aquarius experience situations of control that are not personal. Virgo and Capricorn can help Taurus; Aries and Sagittarius can help Leo; Gemini and Libra can help Aquarius. Cancer and Pisces have opportunities to be involved in practical, mechanical activities.  Basically, Aries and Gemini are neutral; Libra and Sagittarius experience days where plans do not go as expected and need to adjust. Virgo and Capricorn have a nice month of work, practical projects and money go smoothly.

March 9: there is an opportunity today for the ideal to be effective with cooperation with the one in power. Remember, opportunities need to be accepted to be noticed. Pisces will benefit if you accept the opportunity to interact with an effective person who is also practical and a leader. Good activity day for Pisces, Cancer and Scorpio; followed by Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn. However, Pisces may experience a block in dealing either with Libra or in planning a social event. Libra does not enjoy having plans changed, which may happen today. It is a quincunx Sun and Moon, which are at odds with each other, revealing a day full of unexpected, interruptions by someone demanding, or a day with a little drama that has nothing to do with the situation. Cooperation and flexibility are in order today.

March 11: unsettled day, with vague or unrealistic ideas, which irritate others. Pisces can irritate Libra. Cancer and Scorpio can help Pisces, with Gemini and Aquarius helping Libra.

March 12: full Moon in the  signs of Virgo and Pisces, the two signs who will be the most irritable and at odds with each other, followed by Gemini and Sagittarius. Someone could be prematurely demanding details. Taurus and Capricorn can help Virgo; and Cancer and Scorpio can help Pisces.  For those of you in the medical and law professions, the areas of the body for this full Moon are the upper colon masking as the stomach, and the eyes and feet.
