Summary:

The day of the withdrawal, May 8, the chart reveals deceit and misunderstanding because of superficial reading of the original Deal, along with strong, stubborn and possibly secret opposition because of money. The planets lead into May 25 when the deceit seems to be reveled or tensions lessened. May 25 also suggests negotiations along with powerful, angry or loud disagreement and news. Compared to the USA chart: The Deal withdrawal shows adjustments to the original Deal being urged on the unstable country. The withdrawal is upsetting to both allies and enemies, requiring an adjustment or re-balancing of global responsibility and re-balancing of power with both allies and enemies. The withdrawal of the Deal compared to the original signing of the Deal: indications are to the death of the agreement, with impulsive communication and anger, and possible opportunity for secret negotiations. The withdrawal from the original Deal could mean the change is beneficial for all.

Astrology of the Deals:

★    Withdrawal of the deal on May 8, 2018. Neptune at 16 Pisces squares Venus at 16 Gemini revealing deceit and misunderstanding because superficial reading of the original Deal. Jupiter at 18 degrees Scorpio is opposite the Sun at 17 degrees Taurus, within one degree. This shows stubborn opposition because of financial concerns. However, Jupiter is in trine with Neptune at 16 degrees Pisces. Even though this is about two degrees apart, Jupiter is retrograde and will be in an exact trine May 25. Perhaps the deceit will be revealed or lessened tensions. When we look at the May 25 planets, Mars at 3 degrees Aquarius is trine the Sun at 4 degrees Gemini, good news indeed, indicating negotiations for the good of all. Pluto is at 21 degrees Capricorn square Mercury at 21 degrees Aries. This indicates powerful, angry or loud disagreement and news.

★    The withdrawal compared to the USA chart: there are two planetary relationships which indicate adjustments to the original Deal. Saturn at 8 degrees Capricorn quincunxes the USA natal Uranus in Gemini. Since Saturn is strong in its own sign, the adjustment is being urged on the unstable country. The situation is upsetting to both allies and enemies, requiring an adjustment or re-balancing of global responsibility. Pluto at 21 Capricorn quincunxes the USA natal Mars at 21 Gemini, revealing re-balancing of power with both allies and enemies. Pluto is the stronger forcing the adjustment. The transiting Moon is conjunct the USA natal Moon at 27 degrees Aquarius, meaning the USA emotionally in synch with the population, with the news spreading world-wide quickly.

★     Iran Deal withdrawal compared with original signing of the Deal. Saturn of the withdrawal is in Capricorn, opposed to the original Deal Moon in Cancer, indicating the death of the agreement. Deal withdrawal Mercury in Aries is square the original Deal Sun in Cancer, revealing impulsive communication and anger. The withdrawal Pluto is sextile the original Deal Chiron indicating an opportunity for secret negotiations. The withdrawal Uranus is trine the original Deal Venus, meaning the change can be beneficial for all.

May 8, 2018, transiting Uranus was in the last degrees of Aries, signaling the beginning of the end of the Arab Spring uprising and Winter which officially began 18 December 2010 when Uranus was retrograde in the last degrees of Pisces. Mercury was retrograde in the last degrees of Sagittarius square Uranus in Pisces. Mars was conjunct Pluto in Capricorn on 14 & 15 December 2010. However, Uranus entered Aries May 28, 2011, then went retrograde and back into Aries March 13, 2011, with the Arab Spring uprisings continuing through now and being called by some the Arab Winter.

May 13: Mother’s Day in the USA: Beginning of the day a lot of unexpected communication and traveling short distances. Aries is especially talkative and may be giving orders and perhaps receiving opposition. Cancer and Capricorn experience mild unexpected changes. Leo and Sagittarius enjoy a good social day, Gemini and Aquarius have the opportunity to be social to accept or not. Pisces and Taurus are neutral until evening. Virgo and Scorpio adjust to the unexpected. Moon goes into Taurus, good for planting.

May 15: Uranus goes into Taurus through beginning of July 2025. This is a major change since Uranus takes 84 years to travel through a sign. The last time this happened the USA went off the gold standard, closed the banks, and made big changes to the banking system. We can expect somewhat the same during Uranus’ travel through Taurus. However, there are already monetary changes with Bitcoin and other virtual currencies, if they can be called currencies. At the very least, Taurus will experience self-initiated changes, with Scorpio having opposition, Leo and Aquarius having changes from their supposedly secure situations. Virgo and Capricorn can expect these changes to be easy and quietly beneficial. Cancer and Pisces will have the opportunity for beneficial change if the opportunities are accepted. Aries and Gemini are neutral, with Libra and Sagittarius adjusting. Since Uranus slowly goes through the sign of Taurus through 2025, people of the aforementioned signs do not experience the changes at the same time.

May 16: Mars goes into Aquarius through mid-November 2018. Mars goes retrograde in June, hence the long time being in the sign of Aquarius. New inventions may be revealed, but need re-evaluation when Mars goes retrograde June 26 through August 27. Your Aquarius friends may be more active and may be pushy. Leo experiences opposition, with Taurus and Scorpio experiencing control issues over personnel management. Gemini and Libra may be invited to a large, experimental or social activity. Aries and Sagittarius have the opportunity to lend creative ideas and energy to an experimental project. Cancer and Virgo adjust to unexpected interruptions that turn out better when they are flexible. Capricorn and Pisces are neutral. Mars is square Uranus, which just went into Taurus. This portends big change regarding large groups, money and banking. Personally, Taurus and Aquarius are the most affected by control issues, followed by Leo and Scorpio. Gemini and Libra can help Aquarius, with Virgo and Capricorn helping Taurus.

May 17: Moon goes into Cancer.

May 18: Bood, although quiet practical communication. Projects should be within budget. Taurus and Capricorn have the best communication, followed by Virgo.

Sagittarius and Aquarius adjust, or escape, from those who are to close for them, Aries and Libra are challenged to be with close family outings. In the afternoon, there is an unexpected invitation from your loved one to do something different.,

May 20: Cancer and Aquarius are at odds because of different viewpoints. Your loved one may be too clingy today. Sun goes into Gemini through June 21.

Gemini and Aquarius are working well together, with Gemini presenting Aquarius’ plans. Libra may be invited and should accept. However, with Mars in Aquarius, Jupiter in Scorpio and Mercury in Taurus, control issues may abound, needing Gemini’s talent for understanding and communicating all sides or aspect of the situation.

May 24: Moon goes into Libra and getting along with the Sun in Gemini, indicating a pleasant day for all, but especially for Libra, Gemini and Aquarius.

May 25: Will repeat August 19, 2018. This energy will be in effect between May 20 and May 28, with today exact. These degrees repeat mid-August, so the proposal may be leaked or publicized today and be premature. Since Mars is retrograde during this time, the project may not be completed until August 19. This is upiter in Scorpio trine Neptune in Pisces. Jupiter and Neptune used to both rule, or be the patron planet of Pisces, so they are compatible. This is a most pleasant and effective transit if those involved will act. Trines require action. If action is taken, propositions for ideal, long-term projects will succeed. This could be a proposal to refinance or reform the finances of a charitable activity, or something to do with oil and gas. For those of you who know your charts. The degree is 16 degree both Scorpio and Pisces. These signs are good for the water signs of Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces.

Feb 3: Moon goes into Libra. Also, new technological or future ideas have the opportunity to be accepted. Good day for Aquarius to present long-term plans and to cooperate with Sagittarius or plan travel. Good day for Gemini, Libra, Aries and Leo.

Feb 4: Sun and Moon getting along, indicating a good day overall, but especially good for the air signs of Gemini, Libra and Aquarius. Diplomacy succeeds for future plans; legal dealings and cooperation amongst groups.

Feb 5: Moon goes into Scorpio.

Feb 6: your loved one is more friendly than romantic, but social life with friends excellent. Aquarius reaches out for new experiences, perhaps catalyzing Aries. Good day for Aquarius, Libra, Gemini, Aries, Leo and Sagittarius.

Feb 7: quarter Moon in the signs of Scorpio and Aquarius, who experience control issues over finances, large groups or future plans. Taurus and Leo could have a tense day over finances. Cancer and Pisces can help Scorpio; Gemini and Libra can help Aquarius.

Feb 8: Moon goes into Sagittarius.

Feb 8 USA: glitches and minor changes communicating about either legal, finances or allies.

Feb 9: no astrological aspects.

Feb 9 USA: great day with the USA’s progressed Sun trine USA natal Sun; USA progressed MC trine USA natal MC. The president or businesses of the USA are doing well and may be honored.

Feb 10: tense day with control or management issues. The one managing groups may be challenged by the one  handling the finances, resulting in stubbornness. Aquarius and Scorpio are especially challenged, followed by Taurus and Leo. Gemini and Libra can help Aquarius, Cancer and Pisces can help Scorpio. Also, Sun and Moon in a cooperative mood, easing the above tension. Sagittarius is a peacemaker (even though most books do not state this) and may be the one to bring peace. Good day for Aries, Leo and Sagittarius if they cooperate.

Feb 11 & 12: No astrological aspects.

Feb 12 USA: first date of a cycle or process that repeats June 26 and November 12, 2018. Transiting Saturn opposes natal Jupiter.  In the USA chart, Jupiter rules, or is the patron planet of the first house of the population and lives in the seventh house of allies and open enemies. Indications are of opposition or negotiations that also involve money, possessions and self esteem. Transiting Saturn is in its own sign, and natal Jupiter is exalted in Cancer, so each are strong, so the opposition or confrontation may be from the USA. Let us notice Feb 12, to learn if this will be a confrontation or an attempt at negotiation. The opposition in astrology usually means one-on-one interaction with another.

Feb 13: Moon goes into Aquarius, joining Mercury and the Sun. communication may be stubbornly controlling about finances, with future ideas more idealistic than within the budget. Aquarius and Scorpio can know resistance, along with Taurus and Leo. Gemini and Libra can help Aquarius, with Cancer and Pisces helping Scorpio. However, new ideas or a new group effort succeeds by cooperation. Technology is good regarding the mechanical or machines. Aquarius and Aries are especially cooperative today with the innovative. Gemini and Libra also benefit, as do Leo and Sagittarius. An exciting day for all if cooperative, open to the new and a nice day with friends.

Feb 14: Valentines’ Day. Interestingly, Valentine’s Day is an Aquarian event, although the hearts of Venus are the symbol. This can mean your love relationship is better when experienced as loving friends, non-jealous and accepting of your significant other’s freedom and friends. This may mean that in astrology Uranus, the modern ruler or patron planet of Aquarius, is the higher octave of the Sun. The Sun, the patron planet of Leo, is the outward symbol of Love via the Son/Sun of God and the giver of life in this solar system. However, in the astrology we use, the Sun is not supposed to be at its best in Aquarius because the Self of Leo is lost in the crowd of Aquarius. This will be an interesting topic for our astrology class and perhaps your own research.

Feb 14: USA: First date of a cycle that repeats March 13 and October 2, 2018. Opportunity for cooperation between the USA and a foreign entity, or a case put before the Supreme Court involving a group or groups. This is the first focus date, it will be prominent on March 31, and conclude Oct 2 of this year.  Let us notice what happens Feb 14.

Feb 15: excellent communication of new ideas and dealings with friends and groups. The tension of Feb 13 can be alleviated today. Great day for Aquarius, Aries, Gemini and Libra, Leo and Sagittarius. Love is good, too. Your loved one may accept an opportunity for a steady or committed relationship. Pisces softens Capricorn, maybe luring Capricorn away from work. Good for Cancer, Scorpio and Taurus. Virgo may be irritated from clingy relationships or vagueness.

Feb 15: solar or new eclipse at 27̊ Aquarius 05'. This is very close to the eclipse of Aug 21, 2017, which was at 27̊ Leo 53, and is in opposition. If you have a 27, 28 or 29 degree of a planet, your ascendent or midheaven in your chart, it will be set off. Eclipses are triggers, catalyzing a point that had, or will be, focused by a transit. How your chart will be triggered depends upon the sign, planets and houses involved. To learn how this will affect your chart, contact Patty for a quickie interpretation just for you. Jupiter in the sky is at 22̊ Scorpio, triggering the Feb 13, 2017 eclipse, which as at 22̊ Leo 28'. Look to that date to learn if you experienced anything, knowing a similar happening will occur. A busy day, possibly happening yesterday for Valentine’s Day. Aquarius can be the instigator for change, opposing Leo and challenging Taurus and Scorpio, al of whom experience control issues. Gemini and Libra can help Aquarius, Aries and Sagittarius can help Leo, Cancer and Pisces help Scorpio. Contact Patty to learn how all this will affect your chart.

Feb 15: eclipse to the USA: exactly on the USA Moon at 27̊ Aquarius 5' in the house of liquid assets. The USA Moon is the patron planet of the USA eighth house of fiances, and welfare expenditures. If this is a crisis, it could be resolved by May 7, 2018.

Feb 15: after all this, the Moon goes into Pisces at 09:41:pm, ET, perhaps calming things down.

Feb 16: no astrological aspects.

Feb 16 USA: last focus date of a cycle that began April 17, 2017, repeated Aug. 18 2017. Ideal situation and good communication with an ally, the public and just maybe an enemy. If there has been a process to include the public schools, success could be announced.

Feb 17: travel plans may change because of the weather, the airplane or train is late or does not show up. Projects are delayed. Disappointing day for Sagittarius, Pisces, Gemini and Virgo. The Sun joins Mercury indicating strong communication regarding technology or groups from Aquarius. Leo will have opposition, Taurus and Scorpio experience control issue communication. Gemini and Libra enjoy good friendships and communication. Aries and Sagittarius have the opportunity to cooperate; Cancer and Virgo adjust to friends interrupting. Capricorn and Pisces are neutral.

Feb 18: Moon goes into Aries. Sun goes into Pisces through Mach 20, joining Mercury, Venus and Neptune in Pisces. This is the time for Pisces to begin creative ideas for success. Your allies are Cancer and Scorpio for ease; Capricorn for practical leadership, Taurus to help with financial details and nutrition. Virgo can be irritated from lack of detail and preciseness. Gemini and Sagittarius irritated with vagueness, although they are flexible and can adapt. Pisces can be dreamily romantic, too.

Feb 19: no astrological aspects. President’s Day, honoring all the Presidents of the United States. President’s Day was established in 1885 as George Washington’s birthday, Feb. 22, to honor him as the first President of the USA, and the winning General of the Revolution, which created the United States of America.

Feb 19 USA: if this is noticed, the first date of a cycle that repeats June 17 and November 19, 2018. Financial adjustments to bring the budget to balance and reduce the trade imbalance. The USA chart indicates we should have a surplus to be generous with, and perhaps this cycle will restore a surplus. Perhaps some of the groups demonizing the founders of the country adjust to the reality of how we got where we are.

Feb 20: Moon goes into Taurus and creates a nice relationship with the Sun in Pisces, the two signs who have a nice day, followed by the rest of us. These are gentle signs, cooperating to enjoy stability or security with creativity. Very nice day for Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn, Cancer and Scorpio.

Feb 21: Venus and Neptune are together in Pisces, indicating a very creative, possible romantic day for vacation or escape. Pisces is communicating more strongly than usual, especially with Capricorn, or a person considered wise. If Virgo is out of sorts, you may find help with Capricorn, or a quiet authority figure you admire.

Feb 22: Moon goes into Gemini, stirring the Pisces energy, and could be an irritating day.

Otherwise, good communication if Pisces or the creative one takes the opportunity to consult with the person considered strong and wise.

January 1 through January 31 2018

There is a super full moon eclipse January 31.

A super moon is when it is close to earth, causing higher and lower ocean tides, and a greater pull on our emotions.

Could it be the excessive cold reflected by Saturn, the Sun, Venus and Pluto all in the cold, winter sign of Capricorn with Mercury joining Jan 11. ? If so, this line-up continues for a while. Venus leaves Capricorn January 17,  Mercury leaves Capricorn January 31, and the Sun leaves Capricorn January 19. Saturn and Pluto will be in Capricorn for a while.

With many planets in Capricorn, the established, law-abiding governments are stronger, and may be challenging the revolutionaries or activists. This also means the signs of Aries, Cancer and Libra are challenged and Capricorn is more visibly active and vocal than usual. 

Jan 1: The year begins with the Moon going into Cancer at 03:10:02 am, and becoming a full Moon at 09:24:01 pm in the signs of Cancer and Capricorn. These two signs will be the most affected, focusing on trying to balance family & emotions with duty & being stoic. Aries and Libra may have a challenging day, too. Tension is over family and work. Scorpio and Pisces can help Cancer, with Taurus and Virgo helping Capricorn.

Cancer and Pisces can benefit financially, Gemini pay think they are being opposed, but it is only new information.

Jan 7: Moon goes into Libra.

Jan 8: Quarter Moon in the signs of Libra and Capricorn, who experience challenges, along with Aries and Cancer. Energy between Scorpio and Capricorn reveals  opportunity for practical financial or money situations. Prices of expensive items may be drastically cut; there is an opportunity for reorganization of a project to be successful.

December solstice 2017 & what it means for you

The December solstice for 2017 is December 21 at 11:27:53 Eastern time. In our northern hemisphere, it is the winter solstice, in the southern hemisphere the summer solstice.

May you have blessed and happy Holy and Holidays. You are remembered and appreciated, just for being you. Let us look forward to a prosperous and happy 2018.
Few months present the multi-cultural "teachable moments" that December does!  Enjoy your chosen one. The following mult-icultural events and celebrations are among those that will happen this year:

    Saint Nicholas Day (Christian)
    Fiesta of Our Lady of Guadalupe (Mexican)
    St. Lucia Day (Swedish)
    Hanukkah (Jewish)
    Christmas Day (Christian)
    Three Kings Day/Epiphany (Christian)
    Boxing Day (Australian, Canadian, English, Irish)
    Kwanzaa (African American)
    Omisoka (Japanese)
    Yule (Pagan)
    Saturnalia (Pagan)

The December solstice happens when the Sun travels into 00 degrees of Capricorn. This year, Saturn will have gone into Capricorn on December 19, with Venus following  on December 25 at 00:25:56 am Eastern Time.

December 25 will experience the Sun, Venus, Saturn and Pluto all in Capricorn. Mars and Jupiter will be in compatible Scorpio, Neptune and Moon in compatible Pisces, Mercury in Sagittarius and Uranus in Aries. Even though Uranus is in square mode to Capricorn the degree is too far to be exact. Let us hope this is a harbinger of a peaceful Holy-Holiday.

This means Saturn is the patron planet of the winter solstice, when the Sun begins to increase in light in the northern hemisphere, and decreases in light in the southern hemisphere.

For those of us born on a solstice or equinox, this is an important time. For Capricorn, it is a time of beginning, for Cancer focus on relationships, and for Aries and Libra challenges. This happens on the solstice  yearly, but this year is more noticeable because Venus and Saturn join the Sun. Venus will be in Capricorn until January 17, which is a short time, and Venus' aspects are usually mild and pleasant. However, Saturn will be in Capricorn for 2-1/2 years, basically until December of 2020. Saturn will go into Aquarius from late March 2020 to July 2, 2020, giving us a short reprieve. Then it retrogrades into Capricorn through December of 2020. This 2-1/2 year time asks us to focus on responsibilities; either taking on, letting go or challenges of.

The earth signs of Taurus and Virgo should enjoy Saturn time of practical accomplishments. For the water signs of Scorpio and Pisces, you may enjoy opportunities for what you consider security and stability. For Gemini and Leo, you may experience a time of adjustment or adaptation. Sagittarius is relieved of burdens, Aquarius is neutral.

Spectacular Venus-Jupiter Conjunction

Nov 13: Sun and Moon are getting along, in the signs of Virgo and Scorpio, who have the opportunity for cooperation and success. Also, Venus and Jupiter are conjunct - or together - in Scorpio, indicating that Scorpio will be much more intense than usual, probably about investments. Love interest may be intense but quiet. Taurus could experience stubborn opposition, with Leo and Aquarius experiencing situations with control issues. Virgo and Capricorn have a quietly good day. Cancer and Pisces benefit from a small, financial opportunity. Libra and Sagittarius are neutral. Aries and Gemini adjust to people being intense or controlling. However, Mercury in Sagittarius is at odds with Neptune in Pisces, so don't make important decisions today because the facts are vague or non-existent. If you are a Sagittarius, Pisces, Gemini or Virgo, be very careful making agreements because so much is left out. Good day to go to the movies.
