I would like to welcome you to another week of self-exploration and universal understanding. Your forecast of major transit begins on Thursday when Venus, the planet of artistic expression and personal relationships at 18� Aquarius will conjunct Neptune, the planet of selfless and spiritual love. The energy expressed from this conjunction of Venus with Neptune will have you seeking spiritual love from your personal relationships. Today you have the desire to share your dreams, hopes, and wishes with your loved ones. You have a strong desire for soul union and spiritual understanding from your personal relationship today. If you start a personal relationship today it will be based on a deep spiritual friendship that will always support the needs of the other. This combination of Venus with Neptune gives you the ability to visualize ideas in your mind and to translate what you see into physical reality. This is a great transit for the artist; he or she will be able to create great works of art from an endless source of inspiration. Today energy will create day dreamers out of lovers, the artist will be inspired, and the rigid detail worker will question reality.

Also on Thursday the Moon at 28� Capricorn will conjunct the Sun creating in the sky’s what is better known as the New Moon. This month�s New Moon will focus her energy of beginnings on your goals and ambitions. The New Moon is a time of new beginnings. It’s when the Feminine energy of the Moon comes together with the masculine forces of the Sun, creating the energy source for New Birth. Each Month this New Birthing of energy is focused in a new house of personal awareness. This month�s focus of birth gives you the ability to organize all the components and ingredient of your life, and create a plan for future success and growth. With the Moon in Capricorn you take your feelings more seriously and identify emotionally with your material possessions which can make you feel cold and austere to others. The Moon is detrimental in Capricorn which means that the money, power, and public status concerns of Capricorn are in opposition to Cancer�s home, family, and soul concerns ruled by the Moon. The many changing phases of the emotional Moon need the emotional grounding memory of Cancer soul values. The many emotional adjustments you must make to the changing Moon are what keep the experience of living, personal and real to you. If these emotional adjustments are not grounded in the soul memory of what is of real value, you can lose your way and become lost in material illusion for emotional security. This month�s New Moon can have you planning for success and growth, but don’t lose sight on what keeps you grounded, which is your home, family, and soul concerns.

Early Monday morning Venus, the planet of personal relationships and artistic expression at 23� Aquarius will oppose Saturn, the planet of personal restriction and disciplined action at 23� Leo. The energy expressed from this opposition of Venus with Saturn will create conflict between your sense of duty and your desire to enjoy yourself. Today it may seem that your duty and responsibilities are keeping you from doing what you want. The best thing to do is suck it up and bear it through. Even if you do neglect your work for fun, Saturn’s restrictions will prevent you from having fun anyway. Venus in the freedom loving and detached sign of Aquarius already gives overtures of being emotionally cold and aloof in close personal relationships. Venus in Aquarius people seem to love their friends more than their mates. Today your relationship detachment will create a conflict of interest that will challenge your commitment to your personal relationship. Your duty and responsibilities at the job and in your personal relationship, will oppose your desire for personal freedom today. So take care of your commitments, and then have some fun.

Also early Monday Mercury, the planet of communication at 12� Aquarius will sextile Jupiter, the planet of growth and expansion at 12� Sagittarius. The energy expressed from this sextile of Mercury with Jupiter will have your mind open to new ideas of growth. This transit is a very positive force for the advancement of your hopes and wishes. Your mind is clear, sharp, and alert to all possibilities. Today�s optimism and positive attitude will help you attain your objectives. Today is also a favorable time for all business negotiations, commercial transactions, and contract discussions. This is also a good time to start a business trip, because traveling for business will also lead to advancements and growth under today�s influence.

Also on this Monday Jupiter, the planet of growth and expansion at 12� Sagittarius will square Uranus, the planet of unexpected change at 12� Pisces. The energy expressed from this square of Jupiter with Uranus will have you seeking freedom from emotional restriction. Today you want change and you don’t care if the change is disruptive or disarming, you just don’t have the patience for any restraints placed on your freedom to change. Today you will break away from any limiting circumstances that restrict the expression of your freedom to be you. This could be a job, people, personal relationship, or a way of life. The point is that today you will feel the desire to release and move on, and tomorrow you will have to deal with the mess of starting over. This can be a time of creative change as long as you avoid moving too quickly and impulsively. The forces of this transit will have you wanting freedom now, no-matter what the cost to your security.
