It would be an exceptional day to do ritual or focused meditation of any sort related to psychic, domestic, and other lunar matters. Light a white or silver candle to represent the lunar energies and Deities... According to ancient folklore, silver, white and opalescent colors and the scent of jasmine or gardenia share the vibration of Luna, and can help one attune to the lunar energies of the waxing and waning cycles. Moon in Aries When the Moon is in Aries, the energy will be much more fiery, enthusiastic and initiating... Mars, the "warrior" planet, is the ruler of Aries, so be prepared to go all the way with goals, tasks and ideas! A time when great energy and initiative is likely. Especially well aspected are matters that require leadership abilities and self-motivation. URANUS STATION RETROGRADE 2.40 am cdt [at 14 deg 43' Pisces] Uranus goes retrograde / station today, at 14 deg 43' Pisces... when a planet is station, it is stuck on the same degree as it slowly gets ready to turn retrograde. Uranus will remain retrograde through Nov 19th, 2006. When a planet goes retrograde, it doesn't ACTUALLY go backwards - it just appears that way from the perspective of our planet. The energy of the planet that is retrograde turns inward - so it is time to see what really needs to change in your life. Those with planets between 10 and 18 degrees of the MUTABLE signs [Pisces, Gemini, Virgo and Sagittarius] will probably feel it the strongest.... stress relief should be a TOP priority! You may experience some profound changes now [especially if you know you NEED the change, but you've been putting it off...] many may feel the need to make MAJOR changes... make sure you've thought it through, before doing something drastic and reactionary. The best way to work with this transit is to consciously look within and make steps to create openings in your life, rather than ignore what needs to evolve, when it is more likely external events will force you to grow, one way or the other. The unsettling energies will be strongest about two weeks before and two weeks after the exact date it turns station retrograde - June 19th - and station direct - Nov 19th. Those with planets at those degrees in the signs of Taurus, Cancer, Scorpio & Capricorn can get the changes, but you can expect them to manifest in a more balanced way... Don't miss this opportunity to create the breakthroughs you need to free yourself from situations and beliefs that "tie you down". Envision the future you'd like to create, and utilize the nervous energy by directing it to releasing the old and embodying the new. Meditate on tuning into this futuristic, revolutionary energy current - visualize yourself embodying the evolution of conscious- ness on this planet... so mote it be! See the Uranus retrograde forecast for your sign below; if you know where 14 deg 43' Pisces is in your personal birth chart, read the forecast that corresponds to that house instead of your Sun sign forecast, for a more accurate forecast. If you don't know what house it falls in, read the forecast for your rising sign in addition to your Sun sign forecast, for a more personal forecast. MARS / JUPITER SQUARE 2.40 am cdt [Leo, Scorpio at 09 deg 24'] This aspect can fill many with a powerful optimistic drive... great! As long as one is not expecting optimism alone to turn the dreams into reality, this would be a great time to further projects that need a good push. Be careful of putting the cart before the horse, or counting on projected profits to foot the bill. Work within a realistic framework, and much may be accomplished with the positive, expansive nature of this aspect. Moon / Saturn trine 5.04 am cdt Today's Moon / Saturn trine [Aries, Leo at 08 deg 53'] in fire signs makes it a good time to focus on how to get committed to matters relating to self-mastery in any field or discipline; Saturn brings structure to get the job done - get down to business and push yourself pat what comes easily, since Saturn's rewards must be EARNED. Moon / Mars trine 6.07 am cdt [Aries, Leo at 09 deg 30'] Moon / Mars trine in fire signs adds a lot of enthusiastic energy to the day, especially regarding matters associated with the element of fire: creativity and the spiritual realm; you can tap into the energies of the fire element today regarding a cherished goal. ================================================== NOTE: Read the daily forecast for BOTH your Sun sign AND your rising sign, for a more personal forecast. s ================================================== == ARIES or TWELFTH HOUSE == Uranus goes retrograde in your twelfth house; you may now feel the urge to follow radical new ideas regarding how you deal with matters of this house, finding ways to implement those changes by going within. Are there things regarding these issues that you need to break free from? When Uranus transits your twelfth house, those matters the conscious mind supresses may now suddenly be brought to light. Unconscious compul- sions and neurotic tendencies may trigger external events in order to bring them to the surface, es- pecially during the station retrograde period. This is a time to look within, and truthfully confront yourself through meditation, therapy, healing techniques and holistic methods. Remember that the body, mind & spirit work together, and if on of the trinity is out of balance, the other two are weakened. This is an important time to prepare for the time Uranus crosses over your ascendant, since it will be easier to make those changes then if you work with your hidden self now; otherwise, you might be working against the changes without even knowing why. TWELFTH HOUSE: solitude, introspection, research and investigation, therapy, the subconscious realm, psychic abilities, dreams. == TAURUS or ELEVENTH HOUSE == Uranus goes retrograde in your eleventh house; you may now feel the urge to follow radical new ideas regarding how you deal with matters of this house, finding ways to implement those changes by going within. Are there things regarding these issues that you need to break free from? You can now look within at your hopes and expectations - what do you need to release? You may be attracted to new kinds of people, since you may find yourself ready to grow beyond what others may expect of you. If you feel certain friends or groups have held you back, you may now feel it's time to move ahead, with or without their approval. With Uranus in the eleventh house, you may reach for something greater than you ever thought possible; while Uranus is retrograde, look within to honestly assess whether or not you are ready to outgrow previously held beliefs about your life goals and your ultimate "purpose". ELEVENTH HOUSE: group activities, networking, friends, hopes and wishes, earned income, goals, community. == GEMINI or TENTH HOUSE == Uranus goes retrograde in your tenth house; you may now feel the urge to follow radical new ideas regarding how you deal with matters of this house, finding ways to implement those changes by going within. Are there things regarding these issues that you need to break free from? The changes you have been making in your public life since Uranus has been in Aquarius may now take a new turn, especially if your Sun sign is between 21 and 27 degrees. You may feel especially bound by restrictions, bosses, parents or the status quo, and may feel like tossing it all out and walking away. This is a good time to look realistically at how you can FEEL more free - is your social position truly restrictive? If you are stuck in a job that no longer offers any growth or challenge, try to look at long term changes you can make instead of reacting hastily - but DO channel the energy somehow, before external events force you to make changes that can be rather stressful and sudden. TENTH HOUSE: authority figures, parents, career, honors, business, public acclaim, role in society. == CANCER or NINTH HOUSE == Uranus goes retrograde in your ninth house; you may now feel the urge to follow radical new ideas regarding how you deal with matters of this house, finding ways to implement those changes by going within. Are there things regarding these issues that you need to break free from? Since Uranus has been in Aquarius, it is more than likely you have expanded your awareness of other cultures and views that may be different from your own; it is important to keep an open mind now and learn all you can. The station retrograde period may challenge your beliefs, and asks you to look within, to see if you might need to expand or change your views, since awareness is not static, and requires flexibility. You can feel your world view is radically altered, through travel and encounters with other cultures and philosophies. Open yourself to new ideas; you may choose to expand your horizons through higher learning or formal spiritual training. Legal matters may take an unexpected turn; try to prepare for it by expecting the unexpected. NINTH HOUSE: travel, religious or intellectual growth, teaching, philosophy, legal activities, publishing, cultural awareness, higher learning. == LEO or EIGHTH HOUSE == Uranus goes retrograde in your eighth house; you may now feel the urge to follow radical new ideas regarding how you deal with matters of this house, finding ways to implement those changes by going within. Are there things regarding these issues that you need to break free from? Since Uranus entered Aquarius, you are likely to feel your old life is ending and a new one is beginning, and the station retrograde period may intensify this experience. Dependence on partner- ships - expecially where joint resources are con- cerned - may feel restrictive now, and many may choose to pay back debts or get out of partnerships that impede personal freedom. Relationships may be radically altered, since superficiality in any form is not rewarding to your deepest needs. This is a time to truly look within, and see what needs to evolve in your life, in order to fully experience the depth of your being. EIGHTH HOUSE: joint resources, financial dealings with others, legacies, inheritance, merging, death, sex, surgery, subconscious complexes. == VIRGO or SEVENTH HOUSE == Uranus goes retrograde in your seventh house; you may now feel the urge to follow radical new ideas regarding how you deal with matters of this house, finding ways to implement those changes by going within. Are there things regarding these issues that you need to break free from? When Uranus transits your seventh house, you can expect changes in your partnerships, whether they are personal or professional. With the station retrograde, it may be next to impossible to maintain business as usual if things have been brewing beneath the surface and have been suppressed, or if the partnership doesn't support growth and has become stagnant. Even the best relationships will need to evolve at this time; how can you foster growth and personal freedom within those structures? By con- sciously working with the energies of this transit, you can revolutionize your relationships through openness, trust and communication. SEVENTH HOUSE: personal and business partnerships, marriage, learning cooperation, teamwork, bringing something to the public. == LIBRA or SIXTH HOUSE == Uranus goes retrograde in your sixth house; you may now feel the urge to follow radical new ideas regarding how you deal with matters of this house, finding ways to implement those changes by going within.

Are you learning new things at your place of employment, or are you stagnating? If you can't expand in your current place of em- ployment, it may be best now to try to find an opportunity where you have more freedom to grow. This is also an excellent time to make changes in your daily habits as far as your health is concerned; stress can cause problems now if you're not careful. SIXTH HOUSE: health, habits, routines, jobs and employment, diet, pets, service to others. == SCORPIO or FIFTH HOUSE == Uranus goes retrograde in your fifth house; you may now feel the urge to follow radical new ideas regarding how you deal with matters of this house, finding ways to implement those changes by going within. Are there things regarding these issues that you need to break free from? When Uranus is in your fifth house, you can be creatively very innovative, as well as attracted to new experiences and romantic relationships. The station retrograde period can make you feel extremely restless if you aren't having enough fun, or if you are stuck in a routine where your creativity is stifled. The retrograde period is a time to look within, to find new ways to shine and express your true creative self. FIFTH HOUSE: creative expression, romance, arts, entertainment, how you "shine", children, investments, gambling, recreation, fun. == SAGITTARIUS or FOURTH HOUSE == Uranus goes retrograde in your fourth house; you may now feel the urge to follow radical new ideas regarding how you deal with matters of this house, finding ways to implement those changes by going within.

When Uranus is in your fourth house, you may be very conscious of how family dynamics and condi- tioning may have a hold on you; during the station retrograde period, these issues can blow up if you have not made the necessary changes to free yourself from past conditioning. Home life may be intolerable if you are not being true to your own self, and you must make changes now before you unconsciously free yourself through creating external situations that push you out. Uranus in your fourth house represents deep changes and the need for evolution in your unconscious mind; it is time to individuate and find a way to be true to your real self. FOURTH HOUSE: home life, inner self, parents, real estate, remodeling, relocating, clearing old business, your "roots", plans for the future. == CAPRICORN or THIRD HOUSE == Uranus goes retrograde in your third house; you may now feel the urge to follow radical new ideas regarding how you deal with matters of this house, finding ways to implement those changes by going within.

During the station retrograde period, you may feel the need to break free from restrictive ways of thinking, and can decide to learn something very Uranian in nature, such as astrology, science, yoga, or the occult. Expect the unexpected in your everyday encounters with friends and neighbors. This is an excellent time for students or writers to communicate and learn new ideas and express revolutionary concepts. THIRD HOUSE: siblings and neighbors, communications, writing, speaking, everyday transportation, intellec- tual pursuits, written tests, study, short trips. == AQUARIUS or SECOND HOUSE == Uranus goes retrograde in your second house; you may now feel the urge to follow radical new ideas regarding how you deal with matters of this house, finding ways to implement those changes by going within. Are there things regarding these issues that you need to break free from? When Uranus transits the second house, those that feel encumbered by material possessions and respon- sibilities may choose to free themselves by letting go of them; you can also expect your values to change now, where freedom may be more important than "security". Those on the other side who are bound by their lack of resources may choose to do something radically different, since a change in financial status may bring a different type of freedom. Wherever you stand, the station retrograde period may bring these issues to the forefront, where you cannot take it any longer. Use the time to look within, and be flexible; personal evolution is the focus now, and your values may be very different now... go with it, and be true to yourself.

The retrograde station period can bring out radical rebelliousness in you, especially if you've been supressing the need for change in your life! If you consciously create changes in how you handle the outside world, you can keep yourself from self-destruction, as the energy may build up if it is repressed too long. Time to open up to new experiences in order to grow... boring routine must go, if it is keeping you from growing, no matter how secure and "comfortable". FIRST HOUSE: Beginnings, the personality, your relationship to the outer world,the physical body, personal affairs and ventures. ©1997-2007 Sarolta G. DeFaltay. All rights reserved.
