The Unaspected and Out-of-Bounds Planets of Donald Trump

Distant, quirky, maverick, lawless, and more–these descriptions of out-of-bounds planets (OOBs) and unaspected planets in the natal horoscopes of 2016 candidates Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump may be worth our consideration and now that Marc Penfield has revealed an accurate birth time for Hillary, let’s make note of such planets and their conditions.

Here for the first time, I’m posting the

What Makes You Uncomfortable?

My friend, Ben came up with the term, un-comfort”, twenty years ago. (see tag) He said I put people in their “un-comfort” zone. They either liked me or they didn’t, based on how comfortable they were, being uncomfortable. It was a revelation … Read More…

Is Citizens United Coming to An End? – Thom Hartmann reports

Will America’s Pluto Return/s in 2022 Mean the Coup-by-Plutocrats Is Complete?

Or will there have been an end to Citizens United? Thom Hartmann reports:

"We can have democracy in this country, or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can’t have both." – Louis D. Brandeis November 13, 1856 – October 5, 1941 (age 84); 21 Scorpio Sun opposing Uranus Rx in

Mars finally exits Sagittarius for Capricorn on September 27th. Mars has been in Sag more or less since March 5th, 2016 (barring his Rx dip back into Scorpio). That’s a long time to fan the flames of journeys, faith and beliefs. Well, that crusade is over. 

Mars does well in Capricorn. He’s exalted  – energy and action are focused. Capricorn disciplines Mars’ raw initiative. This is the “act to make it real” transit. Work, move forward, climb. Slow and steady, but not stagnant. Capricorn is a Cardinal sign, so progress is demanded. And what better planet for progress than Mars? 

Faith has been explored. Now it’s about working to make it real. There’s no sentiment, only determination. Control your impulses, corral your anger, and get on with it. If you’ve been burned, Mars in Capricorn is your chance to forge something new. Keep climbing, and don’t look back. If your faith was rewarded, you can build on that. Either way, this transit is about patient ambition and cautious initiative. 

Adding to this transit’s potential, Pluto stations direct in Capricorn on September 26th, at 14 degrees. Rx since April 18th, 2016, Pluto’s forward movement tells us that the next chapter in transformation has arrived. Lingering fears and resistance have been churned up and destroyed. Pluto direct, one day before Mars’ Capricorn ingress, means progress. The October 19th conjunction between Pluto and Mars will be significant, as unconscious desires/the evolutionary current (Pluto) meet conscious desires (Mars). Mars acts out what Pluto stirs up.  

The Capricorn area of your chart is where you can make visible progress, under these influences. Physical change. There’s always potential for things to go awry, especially when Mars and Pluto meet (destructive anger, violence). These things can become visible as well. So stay conscious of what’s emerging, and how you use your energy. Think “construction” rather than “destruction.” 

Here are the aspects Mars in Capricorn will make:

  • Sep 30th: trine Ceres Rx in Taurus, 2 deg
  • Oct 5th: square Jupiter in Libra, 5 deg
  • Oct 11th: sextile Neptune Rx in Pisces, 9 deg
  • Oct 13th: square Mercury in Libra, 11 deg
  • Oct 15th: trine North Node in Virgo, 12 deg
  • Oct 19th: conjunct Pluto, 15 deg
  • Oct 22nd: sextile Black Moon Lilith in Scorpio, 17 deg
  • Oct 27th: sextile Chiron Rx in Pisces, 21 deg
  • Oct 29th: square Uranus Rx in Aries, 21 deg
  • Nov 2nd: square Ceres Rx in Aries, 25 deg
  • Nov 9th: Aquarius ingress

Cosmic Detox…Pluto direct.

  Every so often our personal power feels a little (ahem) constipated. Stuck. In need of a little, shall we say, cosmic fibre to get it all moving again. Perhaps you have been feeling like that lately? Like the projects,…

September 7th, 2016: Sun in Virgo Trine Pluto, Venus and Saturn/Neptune

The Virgo Sun trines Pluto Rx, at 15 degrees Capricorn. Power is easily integrated with the Virgo habits of work and correction. Something will manifest because you’ve done it right, and it won’t be big or showy. Pluto sharpens Virgo’s drill, boring through the useless information until the heart of the issue is penetrated. Here is the targeted fix, implemented naturally as the pieces fall into place. 

Venus in Libra pings the Saturn/Neptune square. She makes an easy sextile to Saturn in Sagittarius, and a tense inconjunct to Neptune Rx in Pisces, at 10 degrees. Saturn supports Venus’ polite/traditional social expectations. But Neptune whispers that perhaps you’ve misunderstood. Or, maybe there’s something more? Neptune is tricky, but there actually may be more to the situation than meets the eye. Don’t get caught up in what-ifs, but keep your eyes open.
