Solar Chart House Transits
If you know your Ascendant and/or Moon Sign, read that, too.
Scorpio reading and planetary transits for
the week of September 5, 2010. MOON IN TENTH
The tenth house is related to our career and our public image. This may be a time when we are more emotionally in tune with those we come in contact with in our career. Keep in mind that emotions are on public display at this time as well, Scorpio, so any displays of emotion you may want to ensure are appropriate for the moment. This may be a time when we reveal more about ourselves through emotional reactions than we wish to. The tenth house also represents the dominant parent and could indicate some interaction with this parent at this time. Since career is tied in here, we might also find ourselves questioning whether our choice of career was to please ourselves or to inadvertently gain the approval of a parent.
MOON IN ELEVENTH
September 7, 2010 The eleventh house contains friends, professional organizations, and our hopes, wishes and goals in life. With the Moon transiting the eleventh house we may find our emotions coming into play in any of these areas. As always, Scorpio, watch for inappropriate emotional responses and, as with all transits of the Moon, this could be an indication of females or at least one woman playing a larger role in this area now. This could be a time of connecting with friends on a deeper level, Scorpio, and further strengthening the bonds between us. It could also indicate a time when we are apt to examine our goals, dreams and objectives to find how to better make these dreams a reality, or to determine if they are unrealistic after all. In any of these areas, Scorpio, as with all lunar transits, we should watch for emotional responses that stem from our past and may have little to do with the present situation. This will almost guarantee an inappropriate response to the present moment. If this should be the case, do not despair, Scorpio. As with all transits of the Moon, this can give us a window into the past so that we can adjust our behavior and responses to the present moment and free ourselves from negative response patterns.
MOON IN TWELFTH
September 9, 2010 When the Moon transits the twelfth house we may feel a bit uneasy and the reason for this can actually be quite beneficial if we take advantage of it. The twelfth is one of the houses that symbolizes the subconscious/unconscious mind as well as where we find characteristics about ourselves that we tend to repress. Along with the Moon representing the past, this affords us a great opportunity. This transit can be used for self-examination of all the issues we tend to hide from others as well as ourselves. If we look at these characteristics we can find ways to enable expression of these traits to our benefit and add more to our lives. We probably will not feel very sociable at this time, but that can help us withdraw a bit for the self-examination that can be so beneficial now. Anything we have lurking in our subconscious or try to repress has a tendency to trip us up. With this transit, Scorpio, we may find what these stumbling blocks are and find more appropriate ways to deal with them. Relationships with women may be a bit touchy now, Scorpio, but do not overlook the possibility of a female helping us, in the role of a confidante, to resolve some of these issues we come across here.
MOON IN FIRST
September 11, 2010 Whereas the Sun's transit of the first house makes for a healthy self-centeredness and assessment of our own personal goals, the Moon's transit of the first house acts on an emotional level. The Moon's transit of the first house stimulates us to be emotionally connected to friends and loved ones but, Scorpio, we must be aware of our underlying motives. We can be very sympathetic to the needs of others, but can also be very demanding in an emotional sense. Insecurities may come into play here and make us feel a bit needy or even a bit panicky. We all like having a support system, but we must learn that ultimately our security lies within ourselves. Be supportive and seek support from others if you feel you need it at this time, Scorpio, just be sure to balance the scales. Others want the same support when they are in need, too.
SUN IN ELEVENTH
Eleventh-house concerns include professional associations, organizations, friends as well as hopes and dreams and goals and objectives. At this time of year, socializing may take priority in our lives. We may advance through our association with professional organizations or through networking with our acquaintances. Even if we do not belong to any formalized organizations, we can discuss our dreams and aspirations with our friends and like-minded people to get a firmer grasp on how to make our dreams come true and achieve our goals. This is another time, Scorpio, when we should be out and about or otherwise communicating with others, for through group efforts we can further our own progress.
MERCURY IN ELEVENTH
Retrograde Until September 12, 2010 When Mercury transits the eleventh house we may experience greater communications within professional organizations and also with our friends. This would be a favorable time to review our goals and objectives in life, Scorpio, and make plans as to how we may go about making these dreams a reality. Talking these things over with our friends or colleagues may be very helpful now. Therefore, it is beneficial that most of us tend to feel more sociable at this time. This gives us the opportunity to get feedback from others about the direction we are planning to travel in and may bring new possibilities and strategies into our awareness that may ultimately benefit us.
MERCURY RETROGRADE TRANSITS
Mercury goes retrograde three times a year for a period of about three weeks. At these times it has been observed that communications can go awry, as well as having difficulties where travel is concerned. Usually, this does not indicate accidents, but there may be flight delays with airlines or lost luggage. Hotel reservations may not work out as expected and so forth. We may get the time wrong for a business appointment or lunch with a friend and so on. Other misunderstandings with communications may occur as well, so strive to be clear about everything. Be sure to dot the I's and cross the T's. These times may not be propitious for contract negotiations or signings. Also, another caution with Mercury retrograde, may concern electronics. This is not usually considered a favorable time for installing new software on a computer as troubles may arise from the new applications. We should also keep in mind at these times that we are advised to back up our computers just in case we experience a computer crash and end up losing work and important data.
VENUS IN TWELFTH
This is one of the easier transits of the twelfth house. Transits of the twelfth house we usually experience with a degree of trepidation, as hiding here are things that tend to trip us up in our journey through life. This is not the natural case with Venus transiting here. We may be called upon to help someone close to us now. If you should find this to be the case, Scorpio, you should approach this willingly. We are usually in a giving mood now so this should not be a problem, but do keep in mind you are offering help; it is not your responsibility to solve the entire world's problems. Do what you can in the spirit of giving, but remember that this is the natural house of Pisces. You may not be a savior, Scorpio, but you owe it to yourself not to become a martyr either. Venus is connected to relationships and this could mean tending to problems in relationships now, Scorpio. Also, any psychological baggage that might surface now may be a reflection of something going on in a relationship we are currently involved in. Deal with these issues, should they arise, in a gracious manner. There is a good chance your partner may be just as helpful to you in this regard. This is a relatively easy twelfth house transit, Scorpio, and we may wish to connect with humanity and be more giving now. With this transit, this could indicate a time when we may consider volunteer work or in some way helping others. Just be sure to only give what you comfortably can. There is no need to give until it hurts. To do so may actually backfire later. Artistic/creative self-expression may also be a good outlet to relieve some of the stress from difficulties we may be dealing with now.
VENUS IN FIRST
September 8, 2010 This is a good time to make a favorable impression on others and to draw supporters to your side. You may be quite diplomatic now, Scorpio, and may be able to ease tensions between others. Although we may not feel motivated to actively pursue our own interests now, this may be a good time to rally support for future endeavors. One word of caution you should be aware of with this transit, Scorpio, is a tendency to yield to others too readily. We are in a pleasant, peaceful sort of mood now and prefer to avoid conflict. We should, however, be aware that we might undermine our own future position by yielding too much at this time.
MARS IN TWELFTH
Planetary transits of the twelfth house can be somewhat problematic, Scorpio, and Mars transiting here is no exception. This is one of the houses of the subconscious/unconscious mind and this links the twelfth house to our past. Other issues here are institutions of any kind as well as secret enemies. Any of these issues may arise at this time and could prove to be troublesome and quite upsetting. It may be wise to seek a bit of solitude now, Scorpio, in order to confront ourselves, because for many people this may be where the real problems lie. Anything we have repressed, or problems from our past, may resurface now and cause us to react to others in an inappropriate manner and it is likely that this is where any resistance we meet now stems from. Self-examination may be quite beneficial now, Scorpio, as we will have the energy to tackle problems that tend to trip us up. We need to practice patience in this regard, however, and since patience is not a strong point for Mars, this can be troublesome. But this can be a good starting point to begin resolving these issues in order to free ourselves. Volunteer work would also be a constructive use of this energy, Scorpio, and if we want to be alone, we could do this by restacking shelves at the public library, for instance. Another productive use of energy now would be in any form of research or study that might consume our interest at this time.
JUPITER IN SIXTH
Retrograde Until November 17, 2010 This transit is favorable for your work life, but we must apply ourselves to this task and, for some people, this is anathema to a Jupiter transit. Jupiter indicates times when we may prefer ease over toil. However, if we discipline ourselves now we can benefit ourselves in our workday environment. We can favorably impress superiors now with what we can accomplish, Scorpio. This could lead to greater responsibility and opportunity, even though these rewards may not be immediate. This also often indicates a time when we have good relations with our fellow co-workers. If you are looking for a job, Scorpio, this transit can be useful to not only finding a better job that affords more opportunities, but better pay and benefits as well. This transit can aid all areas of our work life, and with greater ease at achieving these goals, but we must be willing to take action for this to benefit us. Health is usually good now, Scorpio, but we must heed the usual warning where Jupiter is concerned, and that is to avoid over-indulgence. This is one of the Jupiter transits that are associated with gaining weight. If problems should arise with our health now, it is almost always attributable to too many fattening or sweet foods or over-indulgence in drink. Your health will be good now but keep it this way and heed the warnings.
JUPITER IN FIFTH
September 8, 2010 The fifth house is indicative of how we like to play and be ourselves, among other things. With Jupiter transiting here we may simply want to enjoy ourselves. This might be a good time for it, because Jupiter transits are not usually noted for fostering a lot of ambition in most people, although these are times we can more readily profit from a transit if we choose to apply ourselves. Relations with children are favored by this transit, Scorpio, both with your own and the children of others. This is also said to be favorable for romance and even if a new relationship does not start now, existing relationships will benefit from this transit. If a new relationship does start now it could be with a foreigner, as Jupiter is the natural ruler of the ninth house related to foreigners. Whatever the case, Scorpio, relationships now may open an avenue for learning more about ourselves and the world at large. Artistic/creative self-expression is said to get a major boost from this transit. If you ever wanted to express yourself creatively, Scorpio, this is one of the most favorable times you could find for this endeavor. Also, creative projects can be more financially rewarding now than at most other times. The fifth house is also the house of gambling and speculation so now might be a good time to profit in this regard. As always with Jupiter, Scorpio, be careful of overextending yourself, as this could lead to problems as this is Jupiter's usual downfall.
JUPITER RETROGRADE TRANSITS When transiting Jupiter turns retrograde, it affords us an opportunity to reassess where we may have exceeded the bounds of practicality. Have we overextended ourselves in business or in any other way for that matter? Now we have a chance to reevaluate our endeavors and to determine if our enthusiasm needs to be reined in a bit. This is a time to plan and prepare for opportunities that may present themselves when Jupiter turns direct again. Now is the time to determine if the course you are on, or the opportunities presented to you, are what you really want for yourself. SATURN IN TWELFTH
Twelfth-house transits are rarely pleasant and this transit may find us feeling melancholy indeed. Saturn is geared toward achievement, Scorpio, so this may be particularly the case if we fell short of our goals in some way. Do not beat up on yourself should you find yourself in a similar situation. We must attempt now to dispassionately observe what we did, where we made mistakes, and where we failed to prepare fully and how this may have contributed to missing our target goal. Twelfth-house transits may symbolize a desire to withdraw as well as this being a by-product of most Saturn transits, so now we may really wish for some solitude. If this is the case, Scorpio, use this time alone for reflection and not for brooding. Remember, Saturn wants us to put forth effort. This requires self-examination so that when Saturn crosses the Ascendant we can begin to prepare ourselves again for the long climb back to the top at the tenth house. This is also a time for planning and preparing ourselves for the next attempt, which will come when Saturn crosses the Ascendant. Now our work involves examining what, if anything, went wrong. This is also another time to examine our past and what lies hidden here in the twelfth house in our subconscious/unconscious minds. What we find may have contributed to any shortfalls we may have experienced. But we may also find assets we failed to utilize before that may be a great help to us in our next attempt at finding achievement and the security that goes with it.
URANUS IN FIFTH
Retrograde Until December 5, 2010 This transit is far more pleasant, by comparison, than the transit of Uranus through the fourth house. Though we may experience problems here, we must not fail to adapt and be flexible in order to make the most of our opportunities now. Romantic relationships may be an issue with this transit and, as with Saturn’s transit here, this could be an indication of an above-average age difference. This is said to be more of an eye-to-eye approach for a couple rather than the student/teacher connotation of Saturn transiting the fifth house. If we are creative, we may take a very new approach to artistic/creative self-expression now. It is as if Uranus liberates our minds and allows us new avenues of expression we had previously denied ourselves or were unaware of. Those that express themselves this way tend to find this a very exciting and productive time. Children are another fifth-house issue and we may experience them behaving more rebelliously now. Remember to set boundaries, Scorpio, but do not try to squelch their spirit of independence. Do not let this go too far, however, as in extreme cases this transit has been associated with accidents and illness in children. The fifth house is associated with gambling and financial speculation as well. As always with Uranus, expect the unexpected. That is to say, do not overextend yourself. Uranus has the potential for windfalls, but is also associated with sudden losses.
URANUS RETROGRADE TRANSITS This is a favorable time to observe the changes in the world around you and to assess the impact these changes may have upon you on a personal level. This period of review may help you to adjust your course if the changes taking place around you seem to be impeding your progress, or may block it in the future. Observe and plan for now and postpone any changes until Uranus turns direct again. NEPTUNE IN FOURTH
Retrograde Until November 7, 2010 During this time, Scorpio, we may experience a sense of insecurity, and this is probably attributable to Neptune's influence on our unconscious mind. We may not be clear exactly about how we are changing on this inner level, which can add to the confusion. Be patient with yourself in this regard and if these issues, which may stem from your past, become too troubling, do not be afraid to seek out some sort of counseling to help clear up any confusion that may exist. This will not only help you to deal with any insecurity now in dealing with your past, but also help to keep you grounded in reality. There may be troubling events in the domestic sphere, Scorpio, that can be difficult to clarify or to get a handle on now. This is typical of the illusory qualities attributable to Neptune. Be as clear as possible with your housemates, but be aware that Neptune can symbolize deception, so keep in mind that others may be misleading you. This can be a favorable time for home renovations and for attempting to build or remodel an existing home to more accurately reflect our ideas of what the ideal home should be. Keep yourself grounded here, Scorpio, for while attempting to make our homes more of a reflection of what we want, Neptune's ideals may be just too far removed from reality for them to be attainable, thus leaving us disappointed. Under extreme circumstances, this transit is said to have a negative influence on the health of a parent. Of course, if this is the case, it would most likely be the parent symbolized by this house. This is, however, a rare occurrence.
NEPTUNE RETROGRADE TRANSITS This is a time when we are advised to try to tune into our unconscious mind and examine what we find lying there. Assess your fears or any illusions you may be laboring under and try to ground them in reality in order to deal with them more effectively. Anything that leaves us feeling we are in a state of confusion should be dealt with also. Assess also if this may be connected to what is going on in the world around you. Endeavor to use your energy in a positive and productive manner and avoid escapism of any sort. Although Neptune is nebulous, we need to strive for clarity now in order to keep from deceiving ourselves and to deal with any issues confronting us in a practical manner. PLUTO IN THIRD
Retrograde Until September 14, 2010 Communications are probably on a far deeper level than usual now, Scorpio. This is because of Pluto's penchant for digging as well as a disdain for the superficial. These communications may prove to be far more significant than are immediately discernible. This is because the third house is associated with the mind and our everyday responses to our immediate environment. These responses will come under scrutiny now and some of them may need to be changed. Often we respond in a certain manner simply by habit. These responses may be appropriate, but we should become aware of them nonetheless. Our overall psychology may be undergoing a transformation of sorts and this is likely to be of interest to us now. We are given an opportunity to examine how we respond to the world and, if we are smart, we also learn to listen and examine more closely how the world responds to us. We can take greater conscious control over these issues now if we apply ourselves. Power struggles now may involve third-house persons such as neighbors, siblings or other close relatives. This is also considered by some to be the house of commerce so we may experience clashes here as well. Pluto is associated with the power principle and, as usual, we should be aware that we only have control over ourselves. To exercise power over others, particularly if we do so ruthlessly, is usually only inviting disaster. Keep your dealings fair and aboveboard, Scorpio, in order to avoid creating problems for yourself later.
PLUTO RETROGRADE TRANSITS As usual with any retrograde planetary motion, this is a time to step back and review our endeavors and to reassess what direction we are taking and just what it is we wish to accomplish. This is a favorable time to evaluate our progress toward our goals, but also to determine how these objectives may benefit others as well. We need to become aware of how we not only influence our own lives, but the lives of others, too.
