Prologue

This work, which has been designed as a continuation of my book MANUAL OF

MODERN ASTROLOGY, refers fundamentally to predictive astrology. Here you
will find not only the most commonly used transit and progression techniques
explained, but also an interpretation of the transits of the Sun, Moon and Planets to all
the most important factors of the natal horoscope, including the ASC, MC and the
Nodes of the Moon. Although these interpretations are far from complete, the
descriptions of each aspect try to cover not only the correlations from the point of
view of possible external events, but also from the psychological point of view,
which is undoubtedly the fundamental one and distances astrology from the ancient
concept of “divining the future.”
The birth chart, as we have learned to create and interpret it in the MANUAL, is a
“photograph” of the solar system, taken at the minute of our first breath, from the
geographical point of view where we were born. But when we advance in the study
of astrology we must add another dimension, that of the development of this chart
over time. The planetary energies that have been embodied in our being continue to
change as we mature in life. As one grows, the planets change their positions, making
new relationships with each other and with the positions of the natal horoscope.
In short, we carry the natal chart scheme with us for our entire lives. The
movements of progressed or transiting planets indicate the stages of our life when the
potentialities demonstrated in this chart emerge for development. This is what
predictive astrology is about.
Many of the experiences acquired over more than a quarter of a century as a
professor at the Astrological Center of Buenos Aires have been poured into this book,
which was written primarily to serve as a guide for higher-level astrology students in
broadening and deepening their studies.
The student generally begins the study of astrology with a certain fascination but
also with fear. With fascination, because he is learning a symbolic language that
allows him to delve into the mysteries of life and understand the meaning of life in
each one of us, and with fear, because astrology reveals at first glance a fatalism that
affects the individual. As the student advances in his knowledge and makes checks,
his security and confidence grow, and he realizes that it is human beings who make
things happen and not the planets.
Knowledge of astrology helps humans to be aware of the energies that are at work
at a given moment and this allows them to be an active part of reality. The purpose of
predictive astrology is to help people make better choices, clarify the nature of the
psychological environment they are experiencing, and serve as a beacon to illuminate
their path in life. The essence of astrology is completely humanitarian. Helping

7
people understand themselves and their life experiences is the mission of the
astrologer. A truly laudable mission, which exalts those who profess science with
honesty, humility and responsibility.

Chapter I:

THE PREDICTION
IN ASTROLOGY
One of the basic principles we observe in life and particularly in astrology is that
everything is constantly changing. Just as each day turns into night and night becomes
day, so the figures that form the planetary movements change infinitely. Astrology
correlates these changing figures with our personal human lives and with the world at
large. We have good times and bad times, periods when things are going better and
are pleasant and others when everything seems to go wrong and fall apart. Nothing
remains in the same state, everything changes according to the divine plan.
Unfortunately, many of us spend much of our time and energy fighting against
the flow of life. Opportunities, as well as the right people, appear and tend to join our
existence when the time is ripe. When we force a circumstance or an event, we often
get what we want, but not what we really need. In accordance with this principle, -
astrology teaches us that there is a time for everything, just as it is written in the sky.
This doesn't mean that we should sit back and wait until the heavens fall in our favor,
but rather try to see what we can do to improve our cycles; when it's time for us to go
"up" or "down," so that we become more aware of how planetary cycles correlate
with our lives. In other words, when it is time to wait and when it is time to move
forward.
In the Bible, this is magnificently expressed when it is said in Ecclesiastes, Chap.
Ill, I:

"To everything there is a season, and a time for every activity under heaven: a
time to be born and a time to die; a time to plant and a time to uproot what is
planted; a time to kill and a time to heal; a time to tear down and a time to build; a
time to weep and a time to laugh; a time to mourn and a time to celebrate; a time to
scatter stones and a time to gather stones; a time to embrace and a time to turn away
from embrace; a time to receive and a time to lose; a time to keep and a time to
throw away; a time to tear and a time to sew; a time to be silent and a time to speak;
a time to love and a time to hate; a time for war and a time for peace.

Astrology helps us discover true attitudes and intentions and thus forces us to act
responsibly. If we do not assume the responsibility indicated by the transits and
progressions, we project energy outwards and become victims of circumstances. But
if we accept it, we are more aware and therefore have more control over ourselves
and our environment. This way of approaching astrology is totally contrary - as the
reader will have noticed - to that assumed by many students of astrology, who want to

9
"escape" the "negative" influences of the stars.
Predictive astrology helps us distinguish the likely favorable areas from those that
may be areas of struggle or fear. This kind of astrology also teaches us to transform
an activity of conflict and fear into one that means harmony. When the path of least
resistance is harmful to us, we are condemned to live it. Nothing can force us to
follow a self-destructive path; nothing, except our own laziness. Many people follow
this path of least resistance and this is the reason why predictions often come true or
are effective. The lesson that predictive astrology often teaches is that people almost
always do what is easiest for them. If our goal is to predict what people will do,
unfortunately our most effective rule is to assume that they will follow the line of
least resistance, and this happens more than half the time. But if our goal is to help
people grow, then this assumption must change, because we must recognize that there
is an innate capacity in human beings to convert those areas that are likely to be -
negative into positive ones.
The ultimate purpose of predictive astrology is then to help people understand
how they can change their lives in a direction where they find happiness, personal
fulfillment and development.
Read, learn and use astrology. This is a great tool that you can apply to any type
of activity. Let the signs and planets be your guides, but do not let them be your
tyrants and you their slave. Astrology is part of your freedom; take it as a friend you
can trust, to help you illuminate the path for your development and spiritual -
evolution.
Why predict? The most important thing in life is to be able to face the future
without fear. The sensitive person plans his future and the more civilized he is, the
more he plans ahead. Just like the captain of a ship or aircraft, who receives
meteorological information to know the atmospheric conditions that will occur and
take the corresponding precautions, astrology provides information regarding the
future, the knowledge of which allows human beings to foresee and not be surprised
by an unexpected reality. It is not what a person knows that can cause harm, but what
he does not know.
We tend, consciously or unconsciously, to fear or feel anxiety about the unknown.
The more neurotic we are, the more intense our anxiety. Astrology is not an
emotional “crutch” or an intellectual substitute. Astrology helps with understanding,
and prediction clarifies our lives, placing responsibility on the individual and not on
the planets. Astrology is the best weapon to overcome fear. The most important
ingredient of a healthy mind is having a positive outlook. No one can avoid having
negative conditions in life, but what we can avoid is becoming negative about them.
Every horoscope, to some extent, contains negative traits that exist precisely so that
they can be overcome in the individual's evolutionary process. An intelligent
prediction offers a great advantage because it indicates when we will encounter the -
situation or problem, its nature, what we need to do and exactly how long it will take
to resolve the matter. Astrology is the only system that offers the possibility of this

10
knowledge.
It is also true that prediction is only one part of astrology, but it is the one that
presents the greatest challenge to the astrologer's skill and the one that is most
fascinating to the public; the one that is most exposed to criticism and possibly, for
the student, the most difficult to learn.
Precision is very important; it is always advisable to confirm the time of birth,
through transits and progressions, with at least two or three important life events.
Practice shows that it is really essential to rectify the birth time when there is no -
certainty within five minutes of birth, which happens in most cases. Otherwise, we
cannot say anything in depth or detail about the future with any degree of certainty.
Thanks to the research carried out at the Astrological Centre of Buenos Aires,
using computers, we now have the possibility of rectifying the time of birth of birth
charts using the dates of events already experienced, with total precision and speed,
with a methodology hitherto unknown and which represents a significant advance in
the techniques of astrological science in our country.
Astrology can be divided into two parts: one that deals with the interpretation of a
birth chart - whether it concerns a human being, an event, an inanimate object, etc. -
and predictive astrology, which calculates and interprets the rhythms and cycles that
occur after birth.
This Predictive Astrology is in turn composed of different predictive systems, of
which the best known are Secondary Progressions and Transits, which are precisely
what this book deals with. Other important systems are the Primary Directions and,
within the Universal Transit System, the Solar and Lunar Revolutions, the Lunations,
Eclipses and other Cycles, whose extensive explanation should be treated separately.
The study of Transits is one of the fundamental techniques in astrology and
together with Progressions are the main ones in the astrologer's predictive
methodology. Secondary Progressions consider that each day after birth is equivalent
to one year of life, that is, that the cycle of one day is equivalent to one cycle around
the Zodiac. The Primary Directions, on the other hand, are no longer related to the
Earth's translational movement around the Sun as are the Secondary Directions, but to
the Earth's rotation around its axis. Some definitions may clarify this:

Transits: The true movements of the planets in the sky.

Progressions: The true movement of the planets, after birth, but symbolically
related to a period or life cycle.
Directions: A symbolic measure added to all planets, regardless of their own speed
and direction at birth, related to a life period.

One of the fundamental factors in the techniques of Predictive Astrology are the
Aspects or crossings of the energies of the planets of each system with those of the
birth chart and those that occur between themselves. As we know, an aspect is the
angle between two celestial bodies as we see them from Earth. The aspect is

11
measured along the ecliptic, in degrees and minutes of arc. Aspects indicate the
relationship between the meaning of a planet and that of others in aspect with it.
In the interpretation of transits, progressions and directions, the aspects formed
between planets are of fundamental importance, just as in the birth chart, but unlike
the latter, in Predictive Astrology they are aspects in motion and in a permanent state
of change, forming various angles, greater or lesser, over time.
In textbooks, the basis for interpreting aspects is generally not given and they are
only divided into good and bad or harmonious and inharmonious. It is important,
then, for the student of astrology to know the foundations on which the aspects are
based.

12
The Philosophy of Aspects
2,500 years ago, the Greek philosopher and mathematician Pythagoras taught that geometry
and numbers were the keys to the mysteries of the Universe. Pythagoras discovered the
arithmetic ratio on which the diatonic musical scale is based, the construction of regular
geometric solids, the Pythagorean theorem and he - or one of his followers - was the first to
affirm that the Sun is the center of the Solar System, with spherical planets that revolve around
it. He also taught that every number has a special meaning and quality and that in every fact of
existence there is an underlying number or series of numbers.
Astrology is essentially an application of the concept of the universal importance of number.
The Signs, Houses, Planets and their Aspects have a particular meaning, because they are part of
a total cycle, occupying a specific position as parts within the totality that comprises this cycle.
The famous astrologer Dane Rudhyar, in an article published in 1965, wrote:

"Number is the soul of Astrology, because it is the numerical sequence of the characteristic
phases of such periodic movements (i.e. of the planetary cycles) which forms the basis of all
astrological symbolism. Our universe is an ordered universe, a universe of processes, whose
many phases can be numbered. The number of each phase tells us what the phase basically
means, this with reference to the process as a whole

While the Pythagoreans held that each number from 1 to infinity has its own particular
meaning, they demonstrated that the numbers 1 to 9 are the primary and essential ones. The
foundation of astrological interpretation and symbolism lies within the meaning and application
of these numbers.
All angles used as aspects come from dividing the 360° circle by smaller numbers. For
example, 360° divided by 1 = 360° (conjunction); 360° divided by 2 = 180° (opposition); 360°
divided by three = 120° (trine); 360° divided by 4 = 90° (square); 360° divided by 5 = 72°
(quintile); 360° divided by 6 = 60° (sextile); 360° divided by 7 = 51°25'43" (septile); 360°
divided by 8 = 45° (semi-square); 360° divided by 9 = 40° (nonile); this is what is called a
harmonic series.
In ancient times, astrology used only the angles resulting from the division of the circle by
1, 2, 3, 4 and 6. These were the aspects used by the Greeks: conjunction, opposition, trine,
square and sextile, that is, the 11a-

1
3
called “classical” or Ptolemaic aspects and now called major aspects.
During the Renaissance, astrologers realized that the harmonic series was the
basis of aspects and began to experiment with dividing the circle by other numbers.
Thus, from 5 they deduced the quintile (360° divided by 5 = 72°), the biquintile (2 x
360° divided by 5 = 144°). From 7 they deduced the septile (360° divided by 7 =
51°25'43"), the biseptile (2 x 360° divided by 7 = 102051 '26”). By 8 they obtained
the semiquadrature (360° divided by 8 = 45°) or octile and the sesquiquadrature or
trioctile (3 x 360° divided by 8 = 135°). Division by 9, 10 and 11 was not taken into
account. Instead, division by 12 was introduced, because this number is the basis of
the Signs of the Zodiac. This division gives us the semisextile (360° divided by 12 =
30°) and the quincunx (5 x 360° divided by 12 = 150°).
The theory of harmonics, put forward in this century by John Addey (1920-1982),
is possibly the most important in having demonstrated so far that the meaning of each
aspect comes from the symbolism of the number by which the circle is divided to
produce the aspect. Addey's researches reveal that all our fundamental astrological
ideas, such as signs, houses, aspects, midpoints, areas of degrees, etc., can all be
given in a common form of expression. He shows that astrology can be defined as
“the harmonics of cosmic periods.” For those unfamiliar with this redefinition of
astrology, a few brief clarifications may be helpful.
Addey uses the term “cosmic period” to describe any of the basic cycles we use in
astrology. The division of the circumference by any number has its own unique
meaning and, as Addey said, its own symbolism, whether it concerns the cycle of the
Zodiac, that of the Houses,

'The reader who wishes to learn more about Harmonics is recommended to read "The Renaissance of
Astrology" and articles by J. Addey in "Astrology" magazine. Sirio Editions. Buenos Aires, or in this astrologer's
own books: "Harmonics in Astrology" and "Harmonic Anthology".

that of a pair of planets from one conjunction to the next conjunction, etc. The term
“harmonic” was taken from the study of sound and wave theory. The wave is nothing
more than the temporal projection of a circular movement, hence the concept of
harmonic is applicable to both the spatial order (Zodiac) and the temporal order
(Cycle).
Fig. A indicates the path of a planet in its daily cycle. While Fig. B shows us the

14
development of that movement along the temporal dimension.
By applying harmonics, we find new points of resonance that are significant and
related to the nature of the number used in the proportion. To find a harmonic we
must divide the Zodiac into a number of equal arcs and consider the length of each of
them, forming a circumference. By finding the corresponding ratio between the
absolute position of a zodiacal point and the number into which we have divided the
circumference, we find the harmonic or resonance point of the major cycle in the
minor cycle. For example, when applying the 9th Harmonic. From the planetary
positions of a horoscope we obtain a new diagram called Navamsa by the Hindus,
which transforms the natal positions based on the number 9, although we must not
forget that the positions of the planets and angles did not actually move at all. What
has happened is that we have introduced a wave of 9 into the circle and then
condensed the nine waves into one, by superposition. Thus, what appears in the
Navamsa, or 9th Harmonic, chart as conjunctions, oppositions, etc., are actually
expressions of the relative phases of the individual factors of these 9 waves.
From this definition of astrology as the “harmonics of cosmic periods” we see that
every part of our symbolism is really reduced to the circle or cycle and its division by
a number. In this sense, we can also see our well-known Zodiac of 12 Signs as
coming from the interaction in the zodiacal circle, from the sub-rhythms that appear
from the divisions by the numbers 2, 3, 4 and 6. In the same way, the circle of Houses
is the result of the similar division of the mundane circle by these same numbers,
while the divisions by the numbers 5, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 12 can be considered to generate
the “minor” aspects.
Let us now look at some suggestions about numerical symbolism in relation to
harmonic theory. The smaller aspects (beyond the division by the number 12) do not
have much importance in the study of transits and progressions, or at least until now it
is so.
•
THE ONE: (the conjunction). It is the number of the origin of all things, that of
beginnings. It symbolizes unity, the indivisible. It is of perfect harmony.
There is no conflict between the principles, but the union of dissimilar natures
produces difficulties, as is the case of conjunctions, for example, between Sun-Saturn;
Moon-Saturn; Uranus-Neptune; Jupiter-Saturn, etc.

TWO: (the opposition). It is the first of an infinite series of even numbers. It is

related to the principle of matter and material evolution. It divides all things into two
realms: good and evil; light and darkness; subject and object; internal and external,
etc. It is the number of polarity and produces conflict between two principles; it
externalizes, separates, strains and makes conscious.

THE THREE: (the trine). It is the first of an infinite series of odd numbers. It is
related to the principle of spirit and the process of spiritual evolution. It symbolizes

15
the reconciliation of opposites or the resolution of polarity and conflict through
another factor or intermediary. It gives understanding, relates and balances. It is the
symbol of creative energies and has no need for change, it is happy that way.

THE FOUR: (the square). Since it is the product of two times two, it is a double
opposition. It is about action, about doing, it requires acting; resolving that which
must be resolved; it leads to producing external rather than internal events. It is
unstable, subject to change, but also to concrete manifestation. It produces the
externalization of the idea in matter and thus relates to the dimension of space.

THE FIVE: (the quintile). It is related to the mind and shows the type of
mentality. It has to do with the kind of art or activity of each man, because it is the
mind that coordinates or unites (subjectively) the form with the matter, which is the
action of the artist. It is also said to show the nature and purpose of one's marriage
and the events surrounding the wedding, because 5 is the union of 2 and 3, the first
number that combines the feminine and the masculine. It is not a major aspect and is
not so important in the study of transits and progressions.

THE SIX: (the sextile). The objective expression of the number 3. It is double
like 4; it is a number that is composed of two times 3 and, therefore, can be
considered as the opposition of the trine. From this point of view it is more objective
and more proactive than the trine. Connected with the development of mental
faculties and reasoning ability. His defect: the dispersion of ideas and a superficial
attitude. It is difficult to remain passive in the face of a sextile, as is the case with a
trine; it is more stimulating, given the intervention of two complementary elements
that combine and make it more pleasant.

THE SEVEN: (the septile). It is the only basic number not divisible by 360. It
has been said to be the most sacred of all numbers and has been connected with
unexpected or unpredictable matters in life. Planetary functions connected with this
aspect may be involved in compulsive or inexplicable acts, triggered by collective
needs, hidden powers or by one's own destiny. Such acts can lead to personal
sacrifice or social isolation. There is also a religious element in this number, as
attested by the frequent references to the number 7 in the Scriptures and religious
teachings.

Meaning of the Planets

Before entering into the consideration of the foundations, techniques and

interpretation of transits and progressions in the following chapters, it is essential that
the student of astrology master the fundamental principles and correlations of the
planets, as given in the Manual of Modern Astrology. However, here we will further

16
expand on its psychological concepts and analogies.
The planets symbolically represent psychic factors that manifest or are released
from within into the outside world according to their interrelationships and pattern
formation. The way in which a planet manifests is determined by the sign in which it
is located, which is configured by an element and a quality. The planet in an element
indicates the way that part of the psyche relates to the internal and external world of
the individual. While the planet, according to its quality, indicates the way of
assimilating experiences and how psychic processes are integrated into the psyche.
There is a distinction between personal and impersonal planets. The personal
ones: Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus and Mars form the character; the impersonal ones:
Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto are those that go beyond the personal;
Jupiter and Saturn are in an intermediate position and are also called social planets.

SUN
The Sun takes one year to pass through the Zodiac; it remains in each Sign for -
about a month. The average movement per day is 59'8”, always direct, that is, it is
never retrograde or stationary. The Sun is called Luminary, as is the Moon. It is hot,
dry, electric and sterile, although it can be moderately fruitful if it is in a fertile sign.
Its characteristics are to illuminate or shine, to govern. In the horoscope, it represents
the individual's life force, individuality, ego or the component of the personality that
is conscious, the creative capacity and the tendency towards self-expression. In
whatever house it is, the affairs ruled by that house are imbued with vitality. The Sun
and the Moon play a special role in the development process. The influence exerted
by the Sun and the Moon on the psyche can best be considered as two important parts
of it, the Sun being a symbol for the center of consciousness, and the Moon a symbol
for the contents of the human unconscious. When the Sun is functioning properly,
there is a lot of willpower, which can be channeled to achieve positive results. The
Sun symbolizes authority, the male sex, the father, the employer or ruler. A strongly
placed Sun in the birth chart gives the ability to lead others or to retain command in
situations that arise. From a karmic point of view, the state of the Sun in a person's
chart (whether it is weak or strong depending on its sign position, afflicted or in good
aspects to other planets) indicates how the person used his or her authority in other
lives. Everyone has some degree of power in some area of life. If power was abused
in the past, now karma forces one to have difficulties with those who have authority
over one. For example, having to suffer the tyranny or inconsiderate whims of
someone who is superior. For the same reason, our present use of power or authority
over subordinates creates the circumstances of the future in this life and the next. The
use of power on a massive level is one of the most difficult tests the soul can face.

MOON
It crosses the Zodiac in 28 days and remains approximately two and a half days in

17
each Sign. The Sun emits energy and the Moon reflects it, so its function is receptive,
reactive and sensitive. She is cold, wet, magnetic and fertile. It is the feminine
polarity, the feminine archetypal principle, the anima or feminine side of a man's
psyche. It represents the mother or the woman in one's life. particularly to the wife in
a man's birth chart and to women in general. In a woman's chart, it indicates the
nature of pregnancies and births. The Moon represents the ability to respond
emotionally and subjectively to our experiences with other people and the
environment. The Sign occupied by the Moon reveals subconscious impulses and
emotional needs. The subconscious is that part of the mind that contains all the
memory since birth (and perhaps since conception). It stores all memories, whether
pleasant, unpleasant or neutral. Whatever happens to someone is never forgotten and
remains recorded. Bad experiences in life or what the individual has repressed are
often expelled outwards, into the conscious mind, due to the emotional discomfort
they produce. The need to understand these experiences still exists, as they are
“submerged” or hidden in the subconscious. The Moon also governs that part of the
personality that has to do with tendencies inherited from other lives, from parents,
ancestors and environmental conditions of the present existence. The Moon has a
strong relationship with one's own feelings. It governs motherhood, but also, in a
deeper sense, the care and protection of youth and the helpless. On a mundane level,
the Moon in the birth chart indicates one's domestic life and love of family. Matters
governed by the house in which the Moon is located are predisposed to fluctuation or
many small changes. From a karmic point of view, the position of the Moon indicates
how the individual behaved as a woman or how he behaved with the female sex in
past lives.

MERCURY
After the Sun, Moon and ASC, Mercury is the most important factor in the birth
chart and this is because this planet has a close relationship with the mind. It indicates
the degree of intelligence, mental attitudes, the ability to think and communicate,
according to the position it has by sign and by house and the aspects it has with other
planets. Mercury is cold, magnetic and androgynous. It assumes the sex of the sign it
occupies; it is dry when it is masculine and humid when it is feminine. It has to do
with curiosity and the need to know everything there is to know. It governs mental
processes and all forms of communication, including travel, contacts, the way of
speaking or writing, as well as gesturing or moving. It is the faculty of reasoning; it is
the planet that assigns a meaning to each thing or experience and stores it in memory.
It represents logical thinking, but is not profound in itself. It is the ability to perceive
and communicate, although it is not reflexive; it has to do with the desire to know, but
not with the application of knowledge. Its placement in the horoscope has a lot to do
with innate intellectual ability and the capacity for communication that precedes a
relationship, which is partly governed by this planet.

18
 A well-placed Mercury confers dexterity and mental agility, the ability to form
judgments based on logical reasoning. Mercury, being a neutral planet, is strongly
influenced by the planet that makes the most closed aspect to it; this indicates the
predominant mental interest and intellectual focus of the individual. A weak Mercury
gives a tendency to generalize rather than particularize, to consider things globally
rather than in a discriminating manner. The judgment is based on a general picture,
downplaying specific facts. It indicates a distracted, absent-minded mind, with a -
tendency toward clumsiness or imagination. When Mercury is retrograde, the -
individual tends to be introspective and subjective. On the other hand, when
stationary, it intensifies intellectual and communicative expression according to the
sign and house in which it is found, as well as the aspects it has. The transit of
Mercury, although not one of the most important, indicates changes in mental focus
and attention when it transits the houses and planets.

VENUS
Venus indicates a person's ability to give and receive love and affection. It
represents the value system and attitude one has towards money. Venus is always
associated with love and harmony, not only does it show what kind of partner one is
able to attract but it also means how the person is treated when joined. It has to do
with the desire for company, which is satisfied through intimate personal
relationships and social contacts. Venus is the planet that governs the principle of
attraction, union and love. Therefore, your position by sign and house indicates how
and where you attract your partner. The most important aspects that other planets
make to Venus are fundamental.
He is delicate, understanding and affectionate, easily committed, and has a great
sense of aesthetics and harmony. It governs the desire for beautiful and refined things.
Art and music interest him greatly. Venus seeks a comfortable, easy life and
emphasizes everything related to economic security. In a man's horoscope, it
represents the search for a complement, his need for balance, and indicates the type of
woman he likes to attract, although not necessarily the one he will marry. In a
woman's horoscope, Venus indicates what a woman is capable of giving to a man.
Venus, like the Moon, is a feminine symbol, but unlike the Moon - which -
corresponds more to the maternal aspect of protection - Venus is related to the aspect
of attraction, seduction, companionship and sex. A retrograde Venus in the birth chart
prevents a fluid social activity, and one is rather reticent towards social contact. As
for finances, a retrograde Venus indicates that your development may be slow at first,
but over time you will reach an important position, if other factors of the horoscope
do not prevent it. Stationary Venus reinforces social and financial expression
according to its position by sign and house, as well as the links it has by aspect with
other planets.

19
MARS
In the birth chart. Mars represents activity, whether physical, emotional, mental or
spiritual; its nature is energetic, aggressive and even dangerous. Mars rules the desire
principle; action is always based on some kind of desire. Mars is not reflective, rather
it resists reason and logic, preferring to act first and think later. Mars is completely
opposite to everything Venus represents. They are polar opposites: Venus is feminine
and Mars is masculine; Venus tends to unite, Mars to separate; Venus is the planet of
peace, Mars of war; Mars produces uproar and disorder, Venus restores order and
balances; Mars is of action, Venus is of reaction; where Mars hurts, Venus heals.
Mars is a planet that tends toward irritability, excitement, anger and passion. It has
to do with destruction, elimination and expulsion. Hence Mars, more than any other
planet, needs guidance, conduct, composure and equanimity. However, from a
positive point of view it is the energy that defends, that gives courage, strength and
the ability to compensate for the tendency to be indulgent or apathetic, which limits
development and growth. When Martian energy is disciplined and channeled
correctly, it provides the possibility of success in everything one undertakes. Mars,
like the Sun, is a masculine symbol, but more specifically in the sexual aspect, while
in others it is less intense. A weak Mars shows exhaustion or lack of energy; the drive
to do something, to commit, is lacking. There is a dispersion of energy; there may be
a lack of courage and a tendency to give up rather than strive to overcome obstacles.
An afflicted Mars also gives drive and energy just as when it is well aspected, but if -
this energy is misdirected or uncontrolled, its result is destructive rather than
constructive. Its transits give a lot of strength and vitality to the planet it aspects.
When Mars transits Venus, he seeks physical love and when he transits Mercury, he
seeks mental activity; if he transits the Sun, it is a good position to highlight his ego,
but his expression can also be aggressive; and so on with the other planets. In a
woman's horoscope, Mars represents her male partner or husband.

JUPITER
Jupiter is the planet that is related to the higher or abstract mind, unlike Mercury,
the planet related to the concrete and lower mind. Jupiter stimulates idealism,
tolerance, understanding and vision for things. It is the highest mental faculty, which
seeks meaning in the affairs of life beyond what apparent physical characteristics
show. It has to do fundamentally with every process of growth and expansion, on a
physical, emotional, mental and spiritual level. It indicates the level of the individual's
awareness regarding morality and religion, ethical, social and cultural values.
Promotes interest in philosophy and education and has a sense of decorum in social
conduct.
Jupiter is called by tradition the “Great Benefic,” because of its connection to
prosperity, success, and opportunity. It increases aspirations, the ability to be

20
generous, optimistic and benevolent. Jupiter is related to the energy of expansion, that
is, it develops any sphere of action or experience in which the individual lives and
moves. In its negative expression, Jupiter exaggerates, tends to take on more than it
can handle, likes to do things “on a big scale” or creates false optimism or hope of
reward without having made the corresponding efforts. That is why he easily tends
towards gambling or speculation and finds much pleasure in it; he always believes
that he cannot fail and hopes to become rich in a short time. He cannot stand
restriction; in fact, he finds any limitation of any kind intolerable. If Jupiter is well
aspected in the birth chart, it indicates that the individual adapts to the norms of social
coexistence, is respectful of cultural traditions and is governed by rules of conduct.
But if afflicted, he may come into conflict with traditional moral and social values, be
cynical, fanatic, or extravagant. Other defects may be indolence, indulgence and even
exaggerated formality.
Transits of Jupiter are generally beneficial, although not always depending on
how it is in the natal chart. The house where Jupiter transits indicates the area in
which you are trying to “grow” in some way. Create opportunities to achieve benefits
or things that allow you to move around more freely. A Jupiter transit may simply
mean that we are feeling good that week or it may coincide with taking a trip. The
characteristic “expansion” of Jupiter can also be “inflation,” exaggeration: going to
excesses of any kind, for example, too much optimism or too much taste for pleasure.

SATURN
In the horoscope, Saturn is the complement of Jupiter. It is the influence that
restricts or contracts; that which balances the Jupiterian expansion. Saturn. Unlike
Jupiter, it is serious, reserved or depressive, it governs melancholy and has to do with
limitation, frugality, economy, authority. He has the ability to accept difficult
conditions and work with the limitations that life gives us. The influence of Saturn
acts more drastically when the individual cannot limit and concentrate his own
energies, needing an external agent to restrict him, without his knowing it or being
able to control it. Saturn indicates the individual's ability to be responsible and self-
disciplined; to organize and achieve long-range goals. It has to do with the lasting
reward as a result of personal effort and responsibility. Saturn seeks perfection. It is
through this planet - the indicator of obstacles, delays, sorrows, disappointments and
deprivations - that man learns that the purpose of life is not pleasure but the gaining
of experience, patience, humility, wisdom and compassion.
Although tradition called him the “Greater Malefic,” today it is recognized that he
fulfills a more positive role. Saturn teaches us our own reality and this may be our
problem. Reality is structure and limitation; that is Saturn. In this sense, its power is
destructive, not because it is intrinsically destructive, but because we do not know
how to manage the energy of Saturn. Its influence is dispassionate, cold and concrete,
it destroys pretensions and forces one to be practical and realistic regarding the most

21
important interests in life. Although it delays and discourages, it also perfects and
matures. Through experience it teaches us the lessons one needs to learn in order to
grow. Saturn represents the concentrated, learned experience that comes to the soul
through incarnation in a physical body on this earth. It is only because of the
limitations of the physical body and the challenges of material life that we have the
opportunity to develop the qualities of hard work, resourcefulness and organization.
Saturn tests us from time to time and shows us how foolish it is to deceive ourselves,
taking the path of escapism (Neptune) or approaching life in a rationalistic way, so
typical of many people. He does not allow one to move on to a higher stage until his
demands have been met.
The position of Saturn in the horoscope shows the point of greatest responsibility
and, from a karmic perspective, it has to do with the mistakes we made in other lives
that we have not corrected or with the obligations we had to fulfill and that we have
ignored or avoided. Whichever way we choose, Saturn is guided by the ancient
warning: “Take what you want from life, but pay the price.” Saturn transits are like
exams, they force us to concentrate and work hard, but once we pass the test, the
reward is long lasting, otherwise we will have to do the ordeal again, when Saturn
makes another contact. The house you are passing through generally feels depressed
or your affairs are going through difficulties in some way. Losses or restrictions are
common. If Saturn is strongly placed in the birth chart, it indicates possibility of
promotion, wealth and fame, but if it is afflicted, the transit or progression of Saturn
reacts with much selfishness, baseness or greed.
URANUS
Uranus is a force that breaks and disorganizes existing structures, to make way for
progress. Uranus forces change and in doing so, it destroys in order to create, but it is
not destructive in a negative sense, because it replaces what it removes. In some
ways, it breaks with tradition and heralds the future. Hence it is the disintegrator of
the forms created by Saturn. He is the enemy of crystallization, the one who opens
doors or the one who shakes us and wakes us up. Its vibrations indicate progress, after
the obligations and responsibilities given to us by Saturn have been fulfilled. Uranian
action is sudden, unexpected, abrupt, spasmodic, revolutionary and dictatorial. His
way of being is unconventional, radical and rebellious.
In the horoscope, Uranus shows our tendency towards freedom; its position marks
the area in which the person feels free, where he or she has the freedom to create,
intuit, invent and achieve independence. It is the planet of new ideas, new customs or
ways of living. Saturn represents what is normal and conventional, while the three
planets beyond Saturn: Uranus, Neptune and Pluto, introduce a factor of abnormality,
whether for good or bad. Uranus' action is unpredictable; it rebels against authority,
breaks with the past and produces revolution. It has to do with that which is different,
erratic, eccentric; one's behavior is abrupt, nervous or compulsive. It is closely linked
to the breakdown of relationships, mainly divorce. When Venus is aspected by

22
Uranus, it represents unexpected unions, an eccentric choice, which may be with a
homosexual person or with someone different in some way: of another race, religion
or with a large age difference. Uranian action manifests itself with sudden changes in
life; a major aspect by progression or a slow transit can have an effect like closing a
chapter in life to begin another with a new scenario, new characteristics and
situations, especially if the contact is with the Sun. If Uranus is badly aspected with
natal planets, its transit may indicate a period of chaos, of great instability, with too
much tension and nervousness. It can produce one failure after another, upheavals, -
accidents, making it seem as if life is in ruins. The more one resists change, the more
painful and threatening is the influence of Uranus; on the contrary, when one helps
the process by “letting go”, “giving up”, the easier it is to use the energies of this
planet positively.

NEPTUNE
It represents what is intangible, vague, nebulous or elusive. Its action is difficult to
pinpoint precisely because it is rather veiled, hidden, obscure. It is the planet of
camouflage: things are never what they seem to be according to where Neptune is
located in a progression or transit. One should never trust anything material promised
by Neptune, particularly in regard to its aspects. So, what seems to be announcing a
strong and ominous storm on the horizon later turns out to be a light shower; for
example, of that wonderful and golden promise, only 10% of its value now remains.
Neptune is permissive; it is very difficult for him to say “no” to something. It
governs chaotic conditions, without limits, that which has no structure or lacks order.
In contrast to Uranus, he does not have a desire to rebel against the established order
or against a certain structure, but rather tends to resign himself or move away from
the order established by others. Unlike Saturn, which sets limits, Neptune dissolves
them, so a lot of discrimination is needed to avoid falling into illusions. For those
seeking the spiritual path, there are no limits to their expansion. Furthermore,
renunciation of a personal nature, for the sake of a higher ideal, is related to Neptune.
It is wiser to view this planet as a giver of non-material benefits, such as idealism,
inspiration, imagination and creativity.
If a Neptunian likes to drink, he may have a tendency to be an alcoholic, because
Neptune rules alcohol and drugs; it is concerned with hallucination and escapism, as
well as with the process of decay and dissolution, with extreme sensitivity and
flexibility, with laxity and paralysis of will. He tends to lack ego strength and to lead
a rather fanciful or deceptive lifestyle. It is best to be careful with matters ruled by the
house where Neptune transits so as not to fall into illusions or deceptions; something
here can dissolve and disappear from existence in a very subtle way or in a very
imperceptible way.

23
PLUTO
It is a planet with tremendous power over humanity, influencing destiny on a
massive level. It represents transformation and regeneration at the highest level, or
destruction and annihilation at its lowest level. Plutonian energy is powerful, never
weak or mediocre. It seems like an enemy, because it causes us to have to face death
of one kind or another, but like Uranus and Neptune, its tendency is to seek to make
the individual aware of the lack of reality, of the perishability of material life and of
the eternity of the soul.
Pluto implies the idea of regeneration, transmutation, transformation and
metamorphosis. Its function is to produce the liberation of those forms that are no
longer useful to the Spirit. It also eliminates what is not necessary, to make room for a
new beginning. He tends to want to delve deeply, to dive into the depths, both from a
physical and psychological point of view. Your desire is to reform or remodel. The
Plutonian force is at the disposal of the individual; if one misuses or abuses it, there is
no turning back. It is about going to extremes: all or nothing. It is connected to
repressed violence, group violence and eruptions of violence.
Another Plutonian aspect that is related to death and resurrection is sexuality.
Intercourse has been called “the little death” and the purpose of sexual reproduction is
to maintain the species, even if the man later dies. By transit, Pluto's influence
actually acts on the deepest levels of the psyche; the effects are felt much more -
intensely within us. Pain or violence may occur before new change and regeneration
occur. Since Pluto moves very slowly in transit, with many retrograde periods, the -
total effect can last up to three years, so its few contacts in life with other natal
planets must be considered very significant.
As in mythology, transiting Pluto can be related to physical death - perhaps of a
parent or someone else - but it may be more appropriate to associate it with the death
of an old inner attitude whose presence has been an obstacle to the development of a
new birth.

Chapter II:

THE TRANSITS
If we look at the sky, we can see the planet Mars occupying some place and
moving forward night after night against the background of a particular group of stars.
Suddenly, he stops and begins to back up. Meanwhile, Venus catches up with Mars
and passes it, heading in the opposite direction. Mars then stops its retrograde motion
and begins to move forward in a direct direction, behind Venus. But Venus is faster
and Mars is losing ground, falling behind. Both planets are now approaching Jupiter,
which is moving even more slowly. Venus passes in front of Jupiter first and Mars
lags slightly behind. Suddenly, Venus stops and goes retrograde, turning back towards
Jupiter and arriving there just as Mars is also approaching. Does this meeting of
planets represent a collision? Not at all, because their relative distance in space
prevents it from happening. But the combination of these forces may well be felt as a
personal collision by some of us. The configuration that has been formed in this case
is a triple conjunction of Mars, Venus and Jupiter, and if it falls in a sensitive degree
of the birth chart, you will undoubtedly feel it.
These planetary movements, seen from Earth, are called Transits and are
fundamental in predictive astrology. Transits are the actual, physical movements of
planets around the Sun, as observed from the perspective of planet Earth. Just as we -
observe the movements of the planets night after night against the background of the
stars, so we can observe the same movement against the background of our own birth
chart. This technique, that of transits, we could say is the heart of Predictive
Astrology.
Transits - the most widely practiced technique due to its simplicity - could be
defined as real planetary movements that occur at a given time over a sensitive point
in the astrological chart.
Aspects, which are angular relationships of planets with each other or between
planets and sensitive points, play a fundamental role in understanding transits. In this
case, the aspects are the angles formed between the transiting planets and the planets
in the natal chart. Unlike natal aspects, transit aspects come from planets in motion
and constant change, so their character is dynamic and cyclical.
The most important angular relationships are the so-called “major aspects” whose
interpretation is discussed in this book. These aspects include

25
 the Conjunction (0°); Sextile (60°); Square (90°); Trine (120°) and Opposition
(180°). A transiting planet can form any of these angles with respect to the planets in
the natal horoscope, at different times. When one of these aspects is formed, the
planet is making a certain contact, by transit, with a natal planet.
Aspects represent certain fundamental qualities of relationship between different
"compartments" of the psyche. To give an example, suppose a person has natal Saturn
at 27° 17' Libra and in the 7th House, forming precisely an exact conjunction with the
cusp. Whenever Mars transits this degree of Libra, the aggressive function (Mars) can
merge (conjunction) with the ability to make a clear judgment of reality (Saturn). See
Figure I.

Figure 1

27017'

In this diagram, we see Mars moving through a wide arc of the Zodiac, over a
period of a few weeks. But only at one point in this trajectory does the red planet align
perfectly with the position of Saturn in the natal chart, thus forming the conjunction. -
Later, when Mars, which continues its journey, reaches 27° of Aries, those two mental
functions will be able to exist in a state of tension or harmonization. due to the
opposition aspect (180°), having previously passed, logically, through the sextile
(60°), square (90°) and trine (120°) aspects, when it crossed the signs of Sagittarius,
Capricorn and Aquarius respectively.
We can control the transits for any given date by observing the positions of the
planets that give the ephemerides with complete accuracy, in each degree and minute
of the Zodiac. It is interesting to study transits during times of important events in our
lives, because this way we can draw useful deductions and learn how they acted in the
chart. Mars, for example, passes through the same point of the Zodiac approximately
every two years, Jupiter every 12 years. Saturn every 29 years, etc.

Fast Planets and Slow Planets

As we know, the further a planet is from the Sun, the slower it moves. There are
no exceptions. Mercury, which is closest to the Sun, completes its orbit around it in 88
days and this is precisely the period in which we see it move in our birth chart, to
make a complete revolution. It takes Venus 225 days to orbit the Sun. For us, 365
days, for Mars 687 days, then we jump to Jupiter with 12 years to complete its orbital
period; Saturn needs 29 years, Uranus 84, Neptune 165 and finally Pluto, 248 years.
In reality, the progression of the increase is approximately double, except for the jump
that occurs between Mars and Jupiter, which is a mystery. But now we have an
explanation, because in the middle of the orbits of these two planets we can see an
Asteroid zone, that is, thousands and thousands of tiny "mini-planets", of which the
main bodies (Juno, Vesta, Ceres and Pallas) have a certain astrological value. These
asteroids are considered the remains of a planet that exploded due to the enormous
force of gravity exerted by Jupiter.
Such differences in speed lead to one of the most basic considerations of
Predictive Astrology: the slower a planet moves, the longer and more enduring its
transits are, therefore the more complex and profound the meanings are for the
individual.
It is important to note the difference in effects between slow and fast planets, as
the former tend to remain longer at a given point in the Zodiac or a birth chart and,
consequently, tend to influence certain matters more and for a longer time. On the
other hand, fast planets, due to their movement, usually have a short-term impact. In
other words, the slow planets: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto mark
important and decisive events; long-term trends, which can be of great significance.
On the other hand, the fast planets: Mercury, Venus, Mars and the Luminaries -Sun
and Moon- indicate changes in mood or attitude, every day; they have to do with si-
(passing nations, thoughts, coincidences, etc.) Any episode that occurs during the
course of the day has its astrological correlation. Fast moving planets act as factors
determining the timing of significant events indicated by slow moving planets. In fact,
these two types of planets complement each other, acting together, as the fast planets
mark the moments when the events symbolized by the slow ones have a more critical
activity, acting as a kind of minute hand of the Zodiac. The transit of a slow planet
marks with certainty the time when an event manifests, but the transit of a fast planet
coinciding with it reinforces the nature of the transit of the slow planet and marks
with more precision the moment of that event.
A transit of Mars can often stimulate activity, energizing a certain point in the
birth chart and even moving other indicators whose action is far-reaching. Mars
through the houses can be seen to correlate with the increase of activity in the sphere
of life, depending on the sector where it is transiting. Transits of the Sun and Moon

27
over the angles and other sensitive degrees of the birth chart may be in sharp focus for
a brief period, but on their own, they are of ephemeral influence. It is different when
the Luminaries form a Lunation or an Eclipse, in which case their influence suddenly
acquires great importance. It is rare for Mercury and Venus to make noticeable
transits; however, if one is looking for the best day to carry out something one wishes
to undertake - such as when drawing an electional chart - the daily transits of these
planets should certainly be taken into consideration. During stationary and retrograde
periods, transits of faster moving planets can act much like slower moving ones.

Easy and difficult transits

Tradition has always clearly marked two types of transits, good and bad,
depending on the type of aspect made by the transiting planet. If the aspect was
harmonious, such as trines, sextiles and some conjunctions, the transit was good, but
if the aspect was inharmonious, such as squares, oppositions and certain conjunctions,
the transit was bad. This concept has changed in modern astrology and they are no
longer considered to be “lucky” or “unlucky”; they are simply energies that indicate
how and where opportunities can be used. Difficult transits are not inherently “bad,”
they simply represent critical phases or points of tension within the cycle that one
planet makes with respect to another. They are experienced through pressures,
frictions, anxieties or resistances and yet such transits are essential for our conscious
personality. Aspects of tension drive us to solve the problems life presents us, rather
than avoid or ignore them.
However, there are some squares or oppositions of planets that usually act easily,
just as there are sextiles and trines with frankly negative results. Much depends on the
nature of the planets that combine their energies and the type of contact they have
with each other in the birth chart, hence we cannot establish as a general rule that easy
transits are those of harmonious aspects and difficult transits those of inharmonious
aspects. A conjunction - such as the transit of Jupiter over the natal Sun - is totally
beneficial because it facilitates growth and expansion, but the transit conjunction of
Saturn over the natal Sun restricts our action, through responsibilities. A Jupiter
square to the natal Moon may indicate a strong expansion of feelings, while a Saturn
square to the natal Moon may signal a loss or grief that affects feelings.
Considering what has been said above about the nature of the planets, experience
indicates that the most difficult transits (also considering how the natal planet is
configured) are the following:

Mars-Moon; Mars-Saturn; Mars-Uranus; Mars-Neptune; Mars- Plato; Jupiter-

Saturn (square and opposition); Saturn Sun; Saturn-Moon; Saturn-Mercury (square
and opposition); Saturn-Venus; Satumo-Uranus; Saturn-Neptune; Saturn-Pluto;
Uranus-Sun; Uranus-Moon; Uranus-Venus (square and opposition); Uranus-
Neptune and Uranus-Pluto.

28
 Transits, in themselves, do not actually produce good or bad events; they indicate
the manifestation of certain energies that coincide with pleasant or unpleasant
circumstances or situations that you will have to live or face at certain times in your
life. But whether the transition will turn out for good or bad depends on its internal
making. Your inner strength or your various personal abilities can defeat negative
influences and, on the contrary, your weaknesses can harm or misuse the benefits of a
positive transit.
As developing human beings, we are not really at the mercy of external forces; we
are constantly creating the conditions or circumstances that we need or deserve. In
this context, we usually say “so-and-so had an accident,” but it would be more
appropriate to say “he caused an accident to happen to him.” There are certain transits
that may well be related to accidents, although it is not always necessary for them to
manifest in this sense. An illness or unfortunate event often suggests that the person
has not faced something in his or her life and the only way to be able to “get it out,” to
external reality, is through a painful event.
Likewise, what we cannot face in ourselves, we see reflected in the people we
dislike or dislike, just as what we cannot find in ourselves, we see reflected in those
we love.
Difficult transits are related to a purifying process and not necessarily destructive,
as long as the direction is changed, but many times we try to cling tenaciously to our
negative habits and, in this sense, these transits "produce" conflicts related to the -
expression of the natal planet, forcing us to develop new modes of expression in tune
with the planet in transit and the house where it is.
Easy transits, on the other hand, such as sextiles, trines and some conjunctions,
provide a state of internal confidence, security and the necessary stimulus to continue
with our development, but without effort or tension. They indicate periods of
creativity, of having vision for things or wisdom to act. These transits generally
indicate a state of happiness, prosperity, good luck and being content with oneself.
They act without friction or restlessness, they “produce” relaxation, peace, balance
and their reaction is pleasant. However, they make us reluctant to face the obstacles
and challenges that life presents us; they do not test us in our weak points and it could
even be said that they reinforce them. So we resist action or the desire to voluntarily
change the conditions as they are, and from this point of view, they turn out to be
more harmful than difficult transits. One becomes comfortable or heavy, until shaken
by the next difficult transit of those two planets in contact.
Taking into account, as we saw previously, the nature of the aspected planets, the
easiest transits (considering, of course, how the planet is configured in the birth chart)
are the following:

Sun-Moon: Sun-Mercury; Sun-Venus; Sun-Mars; Sun-Jupiter; Moon-Mercury;

Moon-Venus; Moon-Jupiter; Mercury-Venus; Mercury-Mars; Mercury-Jupiter;
Mercury-Saturn; Mercury-Uranus; Mercury-Pluto; Venus-Mars; Venus-Jupiter;

29
Mars-Jupiter.

Direct, Stationary and Retrograde Movements

When the planet's motion appears normal, we say that it is direct, and when it is
becoming still - shortly before turning retrograde or direct - we say that the planet is
stationary. Finally, when through our own movement - that of planet Earth - it appears
that the other planet is moving backwards, we say that it is retrograde. Periodically,
every planet except the Sun and the Moon makes these three movements.
A retrograde planet in the birth chart suggests that the normal flow of that planet's
energy is partially reversed. The psychological function symbolized by this is more
internalized and personal; it penetrates deeply into the character, to the detriment of
easy external expression. In transits, retrograde motion acts in a similar way. The -
retrograde period of a transit often represents a relatively calm time of the growth
process, with energy tending inward to develop independently of the context of
external events. For example, a person may have transiting Saturn retrograde
conjunct natal Venus. This suggests that she is taking a very serious and realistic look
at her marriage during this time, but Saturn being retrograde makes this assessment
very private and subjective. If the planet Mars were also to transit, let's say, in
conjunction with the cusp of your 7th House (that of marriage), it is possible that
events will precipitate, forcing you to reveal what you think or what your intentions
are, despite your subjective feelings. This can happen with other transits acting at the
same time.
Stationary motion also plays an important role in understanding transits and
should always be observed. It is a good idea to highlight in the ephemerides - there
are astrologers who also do this with retrograde planets, especially Mercury - the
periods in which this happens. Particularly fast planets that become stationary by
transit suddenly acquire vital importance; just as much as a slow planet, when this
happens in some very sensitive zodiacal degree of the birth chart, because it
generally represents an intensification of latent energy. This is especially the case in
the case of Mars, which really seems to intensify its natural aggressiveness or
evilness, if its station falls on a sensitive degree. To give an example: if you look at
the ephemeris around May 17, 1986, you will see that Mars began to slow down and
became stationary around 21° and 23° Capricorn, before turning retrograde a few days
later on June 8 of that year. These days, while it remains stationary, are days of
caution, especially if Mars makes a conjunction, square or opposition aspect to
another planet in the birth chart.
The experience with stationary planets can be very difficult, particularly if the
planet forms squares or oppositions. Its impact can be very strong, enough to
precipitate necessary changes in our lives, related in meaning to the planet and home
that is being ravaged. Sextiles and trines formed by stationary planets aspecting natal
planets also affect us more deeply than normal transits. They indicate periods in our

30
life, during which we need to integrate the two planets involved in the aspect.
Stationary Saturn conjunct Venus may force us, for the duration, to withdraw from
social contact, for example, to make a new appreciation or reconsider our values,
desires and capabilities in relation to relationships. Stationary Saturn trine natal Venus
can have the same influence, but without the feelings of loneliness or fear of
emotional damage when affections are involved, as they often are when faced with the
conjunction.
The strength of transits begins to slowly diminish once the exact aspect is formed;
it may persist 1o or 2o beyond the exact degree being aspected. The consequences left
behind or the opportunities opened by the transit may become conscious; then they
fade into the background of our lives, unless the transiting planet turns retrograde and
again approaches the same degree.

The Triple Transit Case

The retrograde (R) motion of a transiting planet can cause the same aspect to be
repeated to a natal planet two or three times. Generally, these different contacts are
almost always repeated with the transits of slow-moving planets to the natal planets.
First contact is made when the planet is in direct motion, until it reaches a
stationary position, perhaps beyond the orb of the aspect to the natal planet. When the
transiting planet turns retrograde, it begins to move backwards (as seen from Earth)
and again forms the same aspect it had made when direct to the same natal planet. In
this way, he makes his second contact.
The influence of the retrograde period depends on how we react to the direct
aspect. We may not be aware of the process at hand; there may be feelings blocked in
their expression (Venus); there may be a mental state of abstraction, introspection or
intuition (Mercury); we may act slowly in our activity or have difficulty in satisfying
our desires (Mars); we may seek understanding and faith in ourselves (Jupiter); we
may act with excessive self-control and negative fears (Saturn); we may have nervous
tensions and resistance to external influences (Uranus); we may be very absorbing and
impressionable (Neptune) and with inner strength or with internal disorders and
transformations (Pluto).
By retrograding, the planet may be outside the aspect orb of the natal planet. If the
problems that appear in direct transit have not been resolved, then we should carefully
consider them, determining how they can act in the future. Even if we had
satisfactorily resolved the matter in question in the first direct transit, we may still
need to make an evaluation of what happened, aware that in the next direct transit new
experiences or other unforeseen opportunities may be revealed.
This retrograde planet then becomes stationary, to once again resume its direct
path. During this period, it begins to approach the home planet again, so its energy is
experienced much more strongly. Moving forward, he makes the same appearance to
the home planet, for the third and final time.

31
 Even if we have responded well to the first two contacts - one direct and the other
retrograde - if we are not willing to use the energy of the transit in accordance with its
influence on the chart, we may still be surprised by issues that we must face. Now is
precisely the time when the energy is discharged with full intensity, if you did nothing
about it in the two previous contacts, to handle the problem. This is the period during
which we can receive exactly what we deserve, in terms of this aspect.
Our preparation, reflection and appropriate action may now be rewarded, or, on
the contrary, our passivity, disinterest and lack of foresight may present unexpected
problems. In summary, the first contact is a gestation period; in the second, generally
retrograde, contact indicates when attitudes or circumstances gather strength or
momentum. When the third and final contact occurs, the die is cast and it marks the
final events of the process; the influence of the remaining energy is completely
discharged.
Through the various contacts of slow retrograde planets with the same planet in
the natal chart, we are increasingly forced to integrate the energy of that transiting
planet with the natal planet. If we act passively, squares and oppositions will manifest
new crises each time and trines and sextiles will reveal lost opportunities. Through
transits we must learn their lessons and integrate them into our lives, otherwise we
will always be at their mercy, playing the role of victims.

About the Orbs

Generally, the accepted orb for transiting planets is 2 degrees before and up to 2
degrees
after the exact partile or degree of a planet or sensitive point in the birth chart;
but to tell the truth, this does not mean that they invade. It is not always reliable;
sometimes we find that they act with a larger orb, so it is an approximation or middle
ground. This does not mean that the influence suddenly stops once the separative
degree has been passed; rather, it reminds us of the action of striking a gong: the loud
sound of the strike gradually diminishes. The reduction of the effects depends on the
circumstances in each case and on other transits taking place at the same time. But in
general, most transits begin to diminish their effects once the exact aspect has formed;
Saturn may persist 3° or 4° beyond the exact aspect. The consequences of the transit or
the opportunities awakened draw all our attention to consciousness, but it gradually
disappears into the background of existence, unless, as stated before, the planet turns
retrograde and again approaches the same degree.
When a minor transit (of fast planets) is made by direct motion, it may discharge
its energy a day or two before reaching exactness, rarely after. If a major planet
transits an aspect, the effects may begin to be felt weeks or months before exact
contact. In the case of a stationary major transit, particularly if it is reflected in the
natal chart, the effects begin to be felt six months earlier, or more. of true contact.
When a transiting planet makes a stationing by aspect, it does not always reach the
true degree (or pass through the degree) of that planet before turning retrograde. The
allowed orb on approach is 2o and when turning direct (and separating) is also 2o. The

32
calculation of the stationary transits of Uranus. Neptune and Pluto are simpler,
because these planets make consecutive superpositions of stationary movements in all
degrees of the Zodiac. In the case of the other planets (excluding the Sun and the
Moon), their stationing takes place only in certain degrees of the Zodiac, leaving
empty sectors between them, which do not receive the impact of stationary transits at
certain times.
When studying the transits of a given period, it is good to remember some
important considerations such as these:

1) Is there a relationship in the birth chart between the transiting planet and the
aspected planet?
2) What is the relative importance of the aspected natal planet?
3) Is it a direct or stationary transit?
4) Is the aspected planet “sensitized” by one or other transits? 5) Are the planets
that make the transits fast or slow?
6) Is the factor that receives the transit aspect of the birth chart simple or
complex?
Interpretation of Transits
As we have seen, transits are determined by comparing the positions of the planets
in the sky for a given date with those of the natal horoscope. In order to make the
most of the influences of transiting planets, we must know how to interpret them in
our charts. To do this, it is best to become deeply familiar with your own birth chart
and it is also very helpful to be able to learn from your past transits.
Take, for example, a transit of Mars. With this contact, you may be energetic,
moody, jealous or passionate; constructive or destructive, but you may also see an
accident in the street or violence on television and feel shocked, or have contact that
day with a robust and strong friend or perhaps with someone of a rude character. On
this day you may also encounter a competitive attitude and tensions at work or pay a
visit to someone who is in a hurry or excited about something.
If Mars makes a conjunction to natal Mercury, for example, it sharpens the tongue
as well as the way of writing, and if Mercury is in the Third House or is the ruler of
that house, even more so, but it does not necessarily indicate a serious accident or
surgery, unless there is an aspect of Mars, for example; progression, whose influence
is stronger and longer lasting. Transits modify, shape and excite major progressions,
marking the time at which they are discharged.
The natal planet that receives the major aspect of a transiting planet will always
transform its expression in relation to the nature of the transiting planet. Our energy
will expand under the transit of Jupiter or contract under the effects of transiting
Saturn; it will be stimulated or released by Uranus, highly sensitized through Neptune
or greatly intensified by Pluto. In this way, our natal planets absorb and channel the

33
energy of the transiting planet, according to their possibilities. These possibilities are
given by the cosmic state of the home planet.
In the case of conjunction, in particular, which as we know is the most important
aspect, a natal planet may have more chance than another of receiving throughout its
life the conjunction of three, four or five major or slow planets by transit and in this
sense, it is logical to draw a conclusion about the type of experience that will have the
greatest impact on its life. Let us suppose a personal planet like Venus, in an
inharmonious sign like Scorpio, where it is in detriment. A person can experience the
passage of Saturn, Pluto and Jupiter, in a span of a few months. These influences are
life experiences through which you will learn to overcome the loss of love, having an
obligation or responsibility, how to handle an obsessive relationship or how to form
satisfying sexual relationships and finally, how to reach out to other people, giving
generously of yourself. These are all very profound lessons, demonstrated by the
transits, that will enable this Venus in Scorpio to form relationships that are more
pleasurable in the future.
In interpreting transits it is also important to consider the house position or life
department of the natal chart through which the transiting planet moves. But the
transits that have the most notable effects are those that reinforce aspects of a similar
nature in the natal horoscope.
It is important to note that most events are produced by the combination of transits
when they affect the radical or progressed positions of a nativity and that a transit
over a certain place alone is not always the cause of important events; that is why it is
better to always combine both systems. Very marked periods of our life coincide with
important transits over two or three sensitive points in the birth chart or in the
progressed chart, especially when they are angular or when contacts by transit are
made from angular houses.
We must remember that no planet cancels the action of any other planet. Let's
suppose that the natal Sun is squared by transiting Saturn, but at the same time trined
by transiting Jupiter; each of these planets has its own particular effect and while the
square of Saturn has to do with a restrictive problem and even bad luck, the trine of
Jupiter indicates the possibility of expansion in some sense, which will compensate
for whatever Saturn does wrong by preventing anything serious from happening. But
really, the influence will not be suppressed and Saturn will have its effect.
Very notable effects occur when both a radical planet and a progressed planet are
attacked or benefited by transits at the same time. Let us suppose that natal and
progressed Mercury receives inharmonious aspects from transits, in a birth chart
where this planet is afflicted; the individual will tend to manifest very marked nervous
problems and his mind will be in a state of anguish or great confusion, which can lead
to psychological problems or accidents.
Transits are stronger when they are applicative than when they are separative,
because there is greater energy expenditure. They are also stronger when it comes to
conjunctions and oppositions, followed by squares and trines. The longer the transit

34
lasts, the deeper and more far-reaching its effects will be.
In reality, we cannot escape influences, but we can decide how we will let them
influence us. There is a theory that transits indicate circumstances one must face in
the external world, while directions and progressions express our internal
psychological evolution. Thus, transits symbolize external circumstances, just as
directions or progressions - which come from the movements of the planets in the
birth chart - symbolize the internal resources we have to deal with events.
However, a transit always signifies a psychological event that occurs deep within
the individual; it may or may not surface in the physical world. If it does not manifest
itself externally, the person acts with little awareness and one might even say with a
certain weakness, being unwilling to face life's problems or act responsibly, preferring
a psychological state of lethargy rather than being more aware. The energy of the
transit is consumed in the same way, but the opportunity to grow and learn is
apparently lost, remaining “stored” within the psyche until a new opportunity arises.
Sometimes it can take a long time for this energy to surface and fully discharge
outward through another transit or an aspect to the progressed Moon. The event that
occurs will then be of greater force and even more dramatic, because the energy made
available in the first transit was repressed.
In the most common case, that is, when the energy comes to the surface to become
an event associated with the combination of the two planets, but also with the
occupied houses, ruling houses and important natal aspects, we have a more
significant and repercussive impact on our lives.
In other words, when a transiting planet aspects one of our natal planets, its
influence is related not only to the nature of the natal planet, its sign and house, but
also to its natal aspects. Likewise, the house ruled by that natal planet will be
influenced, especially if that house does not contain any planets.
When you interpret a transit, pay attention to the nature of the transiting planet, its
natal and transit positions as well as the aspect it is making. This transit will influence
not only the natal planet it is aspecting, according to its sign and house position, but
also the house it rules in your chart, particularly if that house contains no planets.

Activation of Natal Aspects

It is always necessary to observe the natal aspects of the planets involved, to know
how the transits act. If they are harmonious at birth and afflicted by transit, there will
be difficulties but they will be easier to handle than when they are afflicted at birth.
The transits that have the most marked influences are those that reinforce the natal
aspects and involve the same planets. For example, a natal square between Mars and
Mercury naturally indicates a predisposition to irritability, impatience, and verbal or
physical abruptness. Every time Mars transits Mercury or Mercury makes a
conjunction, square or opposition to natal Mars, the person will experience the
irritation and annoyances characteristic of these planets in bad aspect, because it is

35
reinforcing the aspect of tension that exists in the natal chart between these two
planets.
Another example: if the Sun and Jupiter are square in the natal chart - even the
trine of transiting Jupiter to the natal Sun - it will not act so beneficially and one
should not expect it to produce the usual favourable effects; logically, it may be
connected with some benefit at that time, but it will do so with reluctance or with
some initial difficulty, due to its radical disharmony. Similarly, if the Sun is not in
aspect with Jupiter in the natal chart, the classic expansive repercussion of transiting
Jupiter on the natal Sun will not be the same in its effects as if they had been aspected
in the radix (bad or good). In short, we carry the natal chart scheme with us
throughout our lives.
Another case may be if transiting Uranus makes a good aspect to natal Uranus, but
the latter is in disharmonious aspect to natal Saturn; in such circumstances, one should
not expect good things to happen during the transit. The first thing that happened to
someone I know was that the imported washing machine stopped working, and then
the television and the tone arm of the record player broke down. something that is
incomprehensible regarding Uranus because it is the ruler of electricity. Hence, one
must always observe how the natal planet is and what aspects it has when it is
activated.
When a transiting planet aspects a planet in our radix, it will activate the natal
aspect between those two planets, revealing new opportunities, positive or negative, to
integrate those two energies. Two planets in square or opposition in the natal chart
can act more harmoniously when they are in conjunction, sextile or trine to each
other's natal position by transit. New possibilities generally reveal to us that they are
related to the house position of the transiting planet.
If we are deeply in tune with our own psyche, we can “feel” or experience within,
as Charles Carter said, the energy of this or that planet when it is approaching, being
able to choose to a certain extent the way in which they can manifest themselves
externally in our lives. We experience the transit of a planet in our birth chart as a -
facet of ourselves, which at this moment demands all our attention, in order to know
it, understand it and integrate it into our emotional structure.

Prenatal Transits
Prenatal Transits or Conversions are a discovery of modern astrology; the planets
are also considered to be in their true position in the Zodiac at a given moment, but
instead of being measured forwards along the Zodiac - like ordinary transits - they are
measured backwards from the day of birth.
Experience has shown that the positions occupied by the planets before birth also
play an important role in our lives. Recent research by Alexander Marr provides
effective evidence of its validity, finding differences between common Transits
(forward) and prenatal Transits (backward).

36
 This is the same idea of Secondary Regressions applied to the Universal Transit
System. Marr states that “Prenatal transits and their Cycles are characteristic of the
native's psychological experience and events that are independent of other individuals.
“This category includes, for example, accidents, death after illness, and psychological
conditions that are independent of the influence of others.”
Both systems, the common and the prenatal, have a complementary effect and
should always be applied together. The importance of transits varies according to the
strength in the natal chart of the planets or points involved and the speed of the
transiting planet. A slow-moving planet is much more powerful than a fast-moving
one, such as Mercury, Venus or Mars.
When working with prenatal transits, the same rules of interpretation should be
applied as those used in relation to common transits. In addition to the classical or
major aspects used in this book, such as conjunctions, sextiles, squares, trines and
oppositions, the use of the Midpoint system by Reinhold Ebertin is recommended,
where only combinations with smaller orbs are allowed.
Let us look at Juan Domingo Perón's chart on page 450 as an example of
calculating Prenatal Transits.
For this calculation, it is essential to have a Table of Number of Days, such as the
one published in Alexander Marr's book, Universal Transit System -Table 1- (Sirio
Editions. Buenos Aires).
We will take three important events from his life. First event: “Loyalty Day”,
October 17, 1945. Huge popular support.

Number of Days 17-10-1945 _ 53250 (53233 + 17)

Birth 8-10-1895 34979 (34971 + 8)
Difference 18271 (days lived)
Then:
34979 (birth)
18271 (days lived)
16708

Looking up this number in the Table, we see that it corresponds to September 30,
1845; this is the date of the Prenatal Transits for Loyalty Day. Looking again at an
ephemeris of this year, 1845 (Raphael) we observe the following contacts:
URANUS 8o 19' Aries, R. trines the ASC, trines natal Jupiter, and quincunxes natal
Mercury/Saturn. A fortunate change in your life, of a political nature (Jupiter in Leo
in the 9th House) together with the acceptance of obligations and responsibilities. He
was released from prison (Saturn/Mercury in XII) suddenly (Uranus). The popular
masses make him a leader. Good luck comes unexpectedly. Sudden insight or broader
understanding of philosophical and spiritual concepts (Jupiter in IX reg. of the ASC;
Uranus reg. from III, ideas, conscious expression).

37
 SATURN 12o 32' Aquarius trines natal Pluto and trines natal Sun. Ideas of reform
(Saturn in Aquarius in III) and changes in the structure of society are now channeled
through the support of others (Pluto in VII). A serious attitude and a desire to work
hard for the community. Rising political ambitions. Heavy responsibilities.

Transits over Midpoints

As we know, midpoints between planets are important, so it is also necessary to
closely observe the influence of slow transiting planets, especially on some very
powerful midpoints in the birth chart. We must be alert to the transit to a natal planet
that is the midpoint of two others. Suppose the Sun is at 27° Aries, which is the
midpoint between Venus at 25° Pisces and Uranus at 29° Taurus. A transit such as
Saturn conjunct the Sun will be less severe and more positive because it will activate
the natal sextile between Venus and Uranus, which can help overcome the limitations
imposed by Saturn on the Sun.
In a Grand Trine or a T-Square. One of the planets acts as the midpoint of the
configuration, so a transit over it has repercussions on the others. We call this planet
the Focal Planet, precisely because it is the one that receives or unites the energies of
the other planets that form the configuration (See the book “Planetary Models” by R.
Jansky).
In reality, we should know the Midpoints of each of the aspects of our chart,
particularly that of squares and oppositions. Transits over these midpoints activate the
square or opposition and give us the opportunity to resolve their conflicts. The
midpoint of the square between Venus at 10° Scorpio and Pluto at 16° Leo is at 28°
Virgo and if this point is transited, for example, by Jupiter, it can lead to a calmer
romance, not as obsessive or emotionally draining as the natal square may indicate.
Two planets that are not connected by aspect in the radix can also mix their energies
through the passage of a transiting or progressing planet through the midpoint
between them, as is often seen in health matters. It is advisable to periodically check
the list that we can make of our midpoints ordered in zodiacal sequence, as some
astrological computer programs have prepared and which turn out to be very useful
and practical.

The T-Square Case

Of the six best-known configurations (Stellium, T-Square, Grand Cross, Grand
Trine, the Yod and the Mystic Rectangle) this is the most common and is believed to
occur in 40% of natal horoscopes. We have already explained what the T-Square is
(Modern Astrology Handbook) and it is important to consider the entire configuration
when a transiting planet (especially a slow one) or a progression planet makes a
conjunction to the focal planet (the one that is in square to the two or more planets in
opposition), because it will mix its energies with it and change its expression,

38
according to its own nature. The sign, house and aspects of the focal planet will also
need to be considered to determine how these two planets will act together.
If the planets are related in meaning, such as Mars and Pluto, Jupiter and Uranus,
Moon and Neptune. They can further unbalance the situation, because the activity of
the focal planet is exaggerated and becomes more extreme in its action. On the
contrary, if the transiting or progressing planet is very different in its nature, such as
the contacts of Saturn and Uranus, Sun and Moon, Venus with Mars, there is the
possibility of modifying the expression of the focal planet, channeling its energies
more effectively.
But if the conjunction of the transiting planet is over one of the planets that are in
opposition, the result, although similar, can be more problematic, due to the need to
integrate the other extreme of the opposition and this is not always easy, unless one is
aware of the needs of the other planets and incorporates them into one's expression
and attitude. A planet that makes a trine or sextile, either by transit or by progression,
to the focal planet of the T-Square, is a good opportunity to release this energy in a
positive way and, conversely, if the energies of the focal planet are directed towards
the sign and house of the T-Square planet, it no longer acts as strongly nor are its
effects very significant.
A planet that makes opposition by transit or progression to the focal planet is very
important, since it closes the open configuration in this single empty space and thus
forms the Great Square or Cosmic Cross. Now energy no longer flows in three
directions but in four and this can lead you to approach life in two very different
ways. It can make you discover that you have a reserve of inner strength that leads
you to concentrate on yourself in order to achieve balance, stopping your impulses
and making a re-evaluation of your life (integration of planetary energies) or you can
act in a scattered manner, dissipating energies in such a way that you can become
burdened with tensions or disharmonies that ultimately result in heavy and
burdensome situations in the environment around you.
When the Grand Square is formed with the ASC or the MC, as one of the factors
involved in the configuration, the assessment of it is different. Although the ASC and
MC may have as much importance as any planet, they do not represent dynamic
impulses that we must express. Of course, these angles are colored by the
characteristics of the Sign in which they are found, describing our attitudes toward the
external conditions that we personally must face. But the house cusps are receptive to
the energies generated by the planets and, in the case of this Grand Square, three
planets (one of them in transit or progression) interact to create a high level of tension
that will be discharged through the ASC or the MC, as the case may be, or their
opposite points, according to the expression of the sign in which they are and the
meaning of the cusp.
Another thing to keep in mind in a transit or progression to two planets involved in
a square or opposition of a T-Square, is that its effects can be manifested when it
reaches the midpoint between both. For example, if Jupiter is at 20° Taurus in

39
opposition to Saturn at 26° Scorpio, the maximum intensity of the influence of
transiting Mars square to this opposition will be at 23° Leo, even if the focal planet is
not located at this degree. When a transiting or progressing planet stations on a T-
Square planet, its influence can be very dramatic and will require your full attention to
confront and assimilate its energies.

INDIVIDUAL
INTERPRETATION OF EACH PLANETARY
TRANSIT

TRANSITS OF THE SUN

SUN t CONJUNCTION SUN n
This transit is the most important one of the year; it happens around the date of the
birthday, sometimes with one or two days difference, when the Sun returns, at that
time, to the same position that it had when

You were born. In reality, as we know, it is the Earth that moves around the Sun, but
we see the Sun as apparently moving around our planet. This conjunction of the Sun
in the sky each year with the Sun of birth is a cycle called Solar Revolution. At the
exact minute and second of time that contact occurs, an astrological chart used by
astrologers for predictive purposes is drawn up, indicating life trends during that one-
year period. As the Sun symbolizes our ego - and even if we don't want it - we are in a
certain way the center of attention, associated with the sign of Leo and the House V; it
is the day when we receive gifts and congratulations. On the other hand, with the
Solar Revolution one receives a new impulse of energy within oneself, as symbolized
by the Sun, hence everything that is started or undertaken at this time will have
repercussions and success, according to how the Sun is in aspect and position. The
Sun transiting in conjunction with the natal Sun indicates enjoying social and
emotional activity and being surrounded by children, because they are under the -
dominion of the Sun, Leo and House V. The person feels happy and optimistic. It also
increases vitality, willpower and self-confidence. It benefits contact with people in
positions of authority or power.

SUN t CONJUNCTION MOON n

From a psychological point of view, the transit of the Sun over the natal Moon
will influence your emotions in such a way that it will bring them to the surface so

40
that they can be observed and learned to understand. It can be a bad time if you fear
your own feelings or have an aversion to emotions. This causes problems, not because
of the emotions themselves. The Moon is a factor that has to do, among other things,
with the subconscious, so this transit can cause unconscious attitudes to manifest.
Relationships with other people, especially with the female sex, will be more
harmonious or happy because there will be understanding. It also indicates good -
family relationships or an activity at home, either from a social or practical point of
view to improve the house, making it more beautiful or artistic. In the case of women,
they can become pregnant; it is a good time for conception. Likewise, it's easier to
make a change now than at any other time of the year, given the "fluid" nature of the
Moon. When the Moon transits in conjunction with the natal Sun it is as if it were a
personal New Moon and its meaning is similar to the conjunction of the Sun on the
natal Moon. However, the duration of the influence is shorter - because the transit of
the Moon lasts a few hours - while that of the Sun is approximately 2 or 3 days. It is
said that you should avoid surgery on that part of the body ruled by your Sun sign.

SUN t CONJUNCTION MERCURY n

In this transit, matters connected with Mercury are strengthened and emphasized
by the Sun. Indicates dynamic communication with siblings, neighbors, and
coworkers. You will be more talkative or you will try to write letters or receive them.
Provides inspiration for writers, teachers, lecturers, or anyone who works with the
intellect. These are excellent few days if you want to do some business, as it favors
the rapid change of ideas to carry out transactions. It is also a good time to make
intelligent plans for the future and thus achieve what you want. If other slower planets
make inharmonious aspects to the conjunction, it creates an impatient tension that
makes one uneasy. physically, and from a mental point of view, it distorts the
perception of true reasoning. When Mercury transits the natal Sun, the effects are -
similar but of shorter duration, unless Mercury is stationary or retrograde, which
happens quite frequently. Mercury transiting the natal Sun gives greater mental clarity
and greater awareness of the purpose that drives any project at hand. You may feel
restless or anxious about going out or traveling. It favors communication especially
with the male sex more than with the female.

SUN t CONJUNCTION VENUS n

It is a good period to make contacts and new friends. The person feels happier,
friendlier and more optimistic, with a greater desire to please others and collaborate;
in turn. receives affection because others feel connected to her. This transit is good for
planning or attending social gatherings and interacting with people in authority. The
attractive force of Venus manifests itself not only through affections but also with -
respect to money or material possessions. This is why it is a favorable contact for all

41
kinds of financial activity, although one must be careful about the tendency to be self-
indulgent and act extravagantly. It is an excellent period for all types of artistic
expression or business related to art and music (Venus) or regarding entertainment,
games and luxury items (Sun). Transiting Venus conjunct the natal Sun produces the -
same effects as transits of the Sun over natal Venus, in terms of self-expression
through creativity and relationships. But the placid attitude of Venus makes the harsh
reality of daily life not seem to exist these days and the person enjoys a state of joy
and relaxation. Both men and women will attract the opposite sex more than usual
these days. Physical health is excellent, although you will feel more comfortable
sitting in a comfortable chair, rewarding yourself in some way, than being active or
doing things that require effort.

SUN t CONJUNCTION MARS n

This transit is characterized by a strong desire to do something physically, to act
with ambition and initiative, with courage. There is self-confidence, with a desire for
power or authority. Likewise, these two or three days that the effect of this contact -
lasts are excellent for starting a new job, especially one in which you can act on your
own, without having to depend on or receive orders from others. Decisive actions may
be precipitated by this transit. The danger is that it may turn out to be an impulsive or
reckless action. You feel more energetic, vital and need to be physically active. If you
feel insecure, you are likely manifesting this energy in negative ways. You are likely
to be involved in some sport or competitive games. On the other hand, sex is
stimulated and sometimes results in an aggressive desire to have relations. If the
conjunction is badly aspected by other planets, there is a tendency to have accidents
or illnesses in which fever, inflammation or infection characterize the pathological
picture. Accidents are caused by a reckless or impulsive attitude, when driving
vehicles, machines or sharp tools. The transit of Mars over the natal Sun has the same
meaning as the transit of the Sun conjunct natal Mars, but it lasts a little longer. Just
as the transit of the Sun over Mars occurs once a year, the transit of Mars over the Sun
occurs approximately every two years. This transit is somewhat similar to the Sun
transit on Mars, but it is more drastic in terms of risk-taking, so one must be careful at
this time, otherwise there may be explosive consequences. In addition, impatience,
anger, aggressive behavior or lack of consideration for the rights of others can cause
serious problems. But if these energies are used intelligently and with caution, they
will be very useful in carrying out something that you had planned to do in these days.

SUN t CONJUNCTION JUPITER n

It is a beneficial transit if Jupiter is well aspected in the natal chart and the -
conjunction receives good aspects from other planets. A lot of personal optimism,
with a generous and benevolent attitude towards others. You feel physically well and

42
have a positive approach to life. It is an excellent opportunity to connect with people
in positions of power or authority; in addition, you will find it easier to make
relationships with the male sex. On an intellectual level, it is favorable to begin any
type of studies, because there is a strong desire to understand or know. It is also
favorable for seeking admission to a college or university, dealing with legal, cultural
or religious organization matters. Long-distance travel can be for pleasure or
beneficial for education. More important, although similar in meaning, are the effects
of transiting Jupiter on the natal Sun, because they last longer. Tradition considered
this one of the most fortunate transits and current research has confirmed this,
although it depends fundamentally on how the Sun is aspected and in which house in
the birth chart. It is a time to start new projects or expand activities. The person feels
optimistic and generally has “good luck”, with a lot of self-confidence, and a desire to
do things. You notice that new perspectives open up for you and you may even find a
way out of some circumstance that inhibited or limited your development up until that
point. This contact also reveals the beginning of another twelve-year Jupiterian cycle,
which has to do with mental development in the life of the individual. In your
profession or occupation you are now successful, as well as in dealing with superiors
or people in authority. It is an excellent time to study issues that arise in the
conscience; to undertake journeys, which often occur through the mind. But since the
conjunction is still well aspected, one must be cautious about the exaggerated
optimism it may cause. Sometimes we take something for granted and then it doesn't
happen because we don't make the effort or we venture beyond our own strength.

SUN t CONJUNCTION SATURN n

The duration of the influence of the Sun's transits is two or three days, so in this
case it will not be felt as much as those of Saturn over the Sun, which last eight to
fifteen days when it is direct and up to eight weeks when it is in a stationary position.
In the first case, you may feel stimulated by work, with a desire to organize or take on
greater responsibilities, and with the capacity for self-discipline. This contact can lead
to career advancement. Sometimes it forces us to take up matters that were left
unfinished in the past and that now need to be finished. From a physical point of view,
it is not compatible; there is often low vitality and emotionally there is a tendency
towards isolation and depression, so it is advisable to adopt a more optimistic attitude
or to dedicate oneself fully to tangible things that can be handled with a practical
sense. If the conjunction is badly aspected by other planets, the person acts cautiously,
is reserved and prone to self-doubt. Your desires for social contact or need for
creative expression may be frustrated. Professional responsibilities can interfere with
moments of pleasure or romance. He may also display a dogmatic or selfish attitude
in his behavior. There may be contact with older people or you may feel worried
about one of your children. On the other hand, the passage of Saturn in conjunction
with the natal Sun is similar in meaning but more important, given the duration of its

43
effects. It can indicate a gradual rise in a profession or occupation; it often gives
recognition for the work done, as long as the effort made (after the opposition, a
period of adversity and low vitality) has been responsible and hard; otherwise, it will
show defects or failure. This transit occurs every 29 years and marks a period in the -
development of individual maturity. With this transit there is the possibility of greater
responsibilities and even if they are to improve your position, it will limit your
freedom of action or you will feel discontent about the fall that overwhelms you. The
possibility that increased responsibilities may cause health problems, especially in the
circulatory system and the heart, cannot be ruled out. Any new venture or project
should never be undertaken when this transit is acting, unless it is directly connected
to what you are doing. This is a time to concentrate energies, not to disperse them.
The possibility of failure is great if the transit coincides with other important
inharmonious aspects, and it may even lead to one's own ruin. It is also not conducive
to financial speculation. Any risk taken in this period will eventually prove to have
caused personal or professional collapse.

SUN t CONJUNCTION URANUS n

This transit also lasts two or three days, once a year. Tendency to want to change
and reform; desire to want to act with personal freedom and independence. During
these few days, completely unexpected things may happen that will surprise you or,
on the contrary, your actions may surprise others. You now possess more “spark” or
wit than usual, the same is true in terms of the manifestation of originality or personal
magnetism. You may show some dissatisfaction or rebellion regarding your daily
routine and act in a way that is contrary to your habits. Opportunities arise to meet
unusual people, particularly those linked to science or esoteric philosophy. Sometimes
there are experiences that are quite out of the ordinary, and if you are connected to art
or other creative expressions, you may receive intuitive inspiration. If the conjunction
receives inharmonious aspects from other planets in the birth chart or from transiting
planets, things do not turn out as planned; on the contrary, various disruptions occur
due to the lack of flexibility. We are usually reluctant to act freely, we cling to daily
routine and feel aggrieved or fearful when we are taken away from it. Therefore, this
transit can be negative if some flexibility is not cultivated. Since Uranus is a planet
that has to do with rebellion, this contact can lead to disputes with other people,
mainly with those in authority, due to not tolerating certain restrictions any longer.
There is also a desire for new and exciting experiences, so you feel annoyed by
everything that is monotonous or routine. Sometimes it is difficult for the individual
to distinguish whether he is acting correctly to have more freedom or whether he is
acting without reason, out of impulsiveness. In this case, caution and awareness of
one's motivations are needed, otherwise there will be nervousness and excitement
with a predisposition to accidents. It often happens that the heart has “palpitations” or
works erratically, even when this cannot be detected by the electrocardiogram. The

44
transit of Uranus over the natal Sun is similar in meaning to the transit of the Sun
conjunct natal Uranus, but it marks an important time in life as it is much slower.
Uranus' cycle is 84 years, so this transit can last approximately one year, taking into
account its stationary and retrograde motion. It is one of the most revolutionary
periods of life, where an important change occurs to give you greater freedom or free
you from ties or limitations that have been imposed by oneself or by others. There is
an awakening in consciousness that is incomparable and occurs at a higher level. Life
becomes more real and independent, with more time for your own satisfaction. This
leads to an improvement in one's position through sudden recognition in one's -
profession or activity; it also improves one's health, thanks to new methods of -
treatment. However, the person will be forced to break old patterns and take a new
direction. If change is resisted, there will be instability and chaos; events seem to
occur in unpredictable and destructive ways, leading to accidents or cardiovascular
disease. On the other hand, if one lives in accordance with this type of energy, one
will make the change without major problems, feeling freer. There may be interest,
more than before, in science in general, and in astronomy, astrology or engineering in
particular. As the level of consciousness is also developed during this transit, there is
the possibility of a marked interest in the occult sciences, especially as regards life
after death, parapsychology, etc.

SUN t CONJUNCTION NEPTUNE n

This transit is characterized by a greater sensitivity towards others, either because

you instinctively understand the way other people feel or because you identify with
them. In this way, by wanting to help, you are interested in people more than in
yourself. These are excellent days for artists, musicians, photographers and
filmmakers, because creative and intuitive imagination comes to light. The physical
body is also more sensitive than usual, so allergies can affect it or you may react
badly to drugs or alcohol. But if the Sun receives bad aspects from other transits at the
same time or Neptune is afflicted in the birth chart, this passage of the Sun can cause
the person to deceive himself, especially with regard to the expression of love. In the
case of women, pregnancy can occur through neglect. In money matters there is little
success or even worse, even losses, due to reckless speculation or gambling. Many
people often have vivid dreams that reveal important subconscious messages or
experience some telepathic, precognitive or psychic phenomenon of an unusual
nature. Additionally, it is excellent for meditation or to go deeper as a spiritual being.
The transit of Neptune over the natal Sun, on the other hand, is similar in meaning to
the transit of the Sun conjunct natal Neptune, but is much more notable and important
in its effects. This transit occurs every 164 years, so it may not happen to a person in
their entire life. When it does so, it produces a profound psychological transformation,
either for better or worse, because it lasts approximately two years, taking into
account its retrograde movement.
From a positive point of view, it produces great receptivity to all impressions,

45
gives inspiration, peace of mind, compassion and an increase in sensitivity towards
others. This contact involves a state of consciousness beyond the ego (symbolized by
the Sun) and if the person is not prepared, the negative side of this contact will be felt.
It is very common for a person to feel a lack of willpower, physical and mental
fatigue, or the sensation of not having strength. She may also become distracted, self-
absorbed, dreamy, and try to avoid her responsibilities. Generally, life becomes very
confusing, aimless, and the person commits acts that have no specific purpose. He
may even tend to deceive others, as if his ego were trying to appear as something he is
not. But if the person is prepared, he or she will manifest the positive side of this
transit, as stated, experiencing subtle changes in his or her psychology, with an inner
awakening of great spiritual understanding. You may have a particular interest in
religion and metaphysics, becoming more idealistic. But you must be careful - since
these ideals will be more emphasized during this transit - that they are supported by
reality and do not correspond to the expression of mere escapism, because
disillusionment will be the consequence.

SUN t CONJUNCTION PLUTO n

This transit is characterized by an increase in willpower; it can also manifest itself
in a struggle for power or a desire to be superior to others, trying to "manage" or
influence other people; you may argue with someone who tries to put unfair pressure
on you and thus forces you to defend your rights. You may be involved in big
business with major companies or in advanced scientific or technological activities.
On another practical level, you may be interested in repairing something that is
broken or faulty. During these days, you may also encounter someone with Plutonian
characteristics, that is, someone who has power or is someone who keeps a secret or
hides information. Or it may be a person who shows signs of decadence, such as a
beggar, a delinquent or a criminal. With this contact, the encounter is usually
unfortunate.
The transit of Pluto over the natal Sun, although similar in meaning to the transit
of the Sun conjunct natal Pluto, lasts a little more than two years, unlike the Sun,
which lasts in its effects two or three days, so it produces a great transformation both
in life in general and in the self-expression of the person. Remember that Pluto's cycle
takes 245 years to make one revolution in the Zodiac, so the conjunction with the Sun
may not occur in a lifetime. When it does, it can take the form of an intense internal
experience that does not surface or it can be the beginning of a fundamental change
whose consequences last a long time, both for oneself and for others. It is a period in
which things that are no longer useful or of no use are eliminated or discarded; it is
also possible to give old things a new use that may be ingenious. You may now work
harder than ever before, because you want to achieve your ambitions no matter what
the cost, but you will have to act with great skill, because you will have to endure
traps and other latent dangers, especially if the conjunction receives inharmonious
aspects from other planets. In any case, the planet of regeneration and death is a

46
tremendous force for producing the “elimination” of everything that is obsolete or
worn out, even if it is not useful for acquiring or doing something that is needed. On
the contrary, this energy used for selfish purposes provokes antagonism and
frustration, and can even lead to violence on the part of others. Nor does this energy
serve to suppress or eliminate those structures or conditions that are not yet ready to -
disappear and thus there will be no progress. In reality, the best way to live this transit
is to seek the improvement of others, that is, to use energy to transform one's own life,
but with a higher objective. Do not try to dominate others, but rather support them in
achieving their own well-being; do not try to satisfy one's own ambition, but rather
expand one's consciousness, without the need for attachment. And let us remember
that if one does not make changes consciously, circumstances will force one to make
them at this time, probably with unpleasant results. But just as death seems horrible to
us, the birth of something new is something beautiful and this is the wonderful lesson
that Pluto gives us.

SUN t CONJUNCTION NORTH NODE OPPOSITION SOUTH

NODE n
This transit indicates a desire to associate or relate with other people. Somehow
there is more popularity and the person acts in harmony with the social attitudes that
prevail at that time. The native may receive public recognition or approval from the
public for any artistic or creative work he or she has done. It is a fortunate transit in
regards to sentimental matters, also dealing with children or speculative transactions.
The transit of the North Node in conjunction with the natal Sun or the South Node in
opposition to the natal Sun has the same meaning as the transit of the Sun over the
North Node (conjunction) or the South Node (opposition); however, it is stronger, due
to the slowness of the Node's movement, which can remain in contact for almost a
month, as opposed to the two or three days that the transit of the Sun lasts.

SUN t CONJUNCTION SOUTH NODE OPPOSITION NORTH

NODE n
Contrary to the previous transit, the tendency is rather to seek a distancing from
social activity; the native's attitude towards others is colder and more conservative.
The relationship with their children is not so good and, on the contrary, there may be a
separation if other elements afflict the conjunction. The transit of the South Node
conjunct the natal Sun is similar in meaning to the transit of the Sun conjunct the natal
South Node and opposing the natal North Node, although because it is slower it has
longer duration in its effects, remaining in contact for approximately one month.

SOL t CONJUNCTION ASC and OPPOSITION DESC n

This is a good transit, because it increases vitality and its action is positive.

47
Indicates a certain personal prestige or leadership; self-confidence. If the transiting
Sun is afflicted by other malefic planet contacts, it is possible that he may now
manifest an excessive, selfish and dominating attitude. You may encounter opposition
to your entrepreneurial action during this transit, but if you handle the situation
diplomatically, you will win over those who are "against you."

SOL t CONJUNCTION MC and OPPOSITION IC n

This contact means desire to express your ego and will. Strong determination to
achieve your own goals. Increases personal and professional ambition. For an
employee, a good opportunity to connect with superiors, gain their support and
respect. This transit can often be associated with public recognition of a work of your
creation, or for someone who is involved in politics. There is a positive attitude -
towards life, although perhaps to the detriment of home life, so it is best not to plan
too much in relation to the home in these couple of days, because circumstances will
probably prevent it.

SOL t CONJUNCTION DESC and OPPOSITION ASC n

Here the Sun acts in the sphere corresponding to “others”, as opposed to the “I”
represented by the ASC. So during these days, you may be more interested in all
kinds of personal encounters, particularly with important people. There is a strong
predisposition to be noticed in some way or to attract attention, to be appreciated by
others. It is a good time to conduct interviews with a doctor, psychologist, lawyer or
any professional; someone who can be consulted for some reason, since the VII or
DESC is complementary. From the point of view of the opposition with the ASC,
there is a certain tendency to have conflicts with others, due to the desire to impose
one's ego; on the contrary, this is a contact that indicates that one must work with
other people jointly, since someone with whom one has difficulties may be the cause
of the problem at this moment; it is a good opportunity then, to clarify an issue;
however, one will not be able to escape a confrontation.

SOL t CONJUNCTION 1C and OPPOSITION MC n

It is a good transit to dedicate more time to personal matters and leave
professional or occupational issues aside. It is a way to spend time alone with
yourself, meditate or take more intimate care of your loved ones. It is possible to have
a certain internal illumination that will allow you, later on, to face your usual
occupations with more energy. However, from a practical point of view, it is a
frustrating, rather demoralizing contact, as it tends to lead to a lack of recognition.
This is why there is a need for greater introversion, to strengthen your understanding
of yourself and what you are trying to do, so that your life is more satisfying.

48
SOLtSEXTILE SOLn
This aspect occurs twice a year: two months before and two months after the
birthday. These are days when there will be a lot of harmony with friends, neighbors
or people with whom you feel affinity. Especially during the approximate sextile (i.e.
two months before the birthday, when the Sun is moving towards conjunction with the
natal Sun), you should act in a united way and you will strive to integrate your own
energies with those of other people. It is a good way to enjoy the company of others,
including those you consider to be above you. The transit of the Sun during the sextile
of the distance (that is, two months after the birthday, when the Sun goes into
opposition with the natal Sun) tends towards communication: short trips, courtesy
visits, because all of this is good for social activity. It is also a favourable period for
the creative expression of personality, for working with children, and if the Sun is
determined in the natal chart towards things in the 5th House, it is also a good
opportunity to engage in financial speculation.

SUN SEXTILE MOON

This is a favorable contact for communication with the opposite sex and
represents a brief period of great psychological and emotional balance. It is a good
opportunity to establish relationships, whether for reasons of love, friendship or
business. In general, relationships with friends and neighbors will be very
harmonious, because the native will appear to others more natural and calm than
before. Even in your own home you will find more peace than usual and it is also a
good opportunity to improve family or domestic relationships, so if you act with
consideration and sympathy, taking an interest in those who need your help, these
people will know how to respond. It is a good transit to make friends or friends may
visit your house. The transit of the Moon in sextile to the natal Sun has a similar
effect, but since it is of very short duration (a few hours), it is not as strong as the Sun
whose transit lasts 2 to 3 days.

SUN t SEXTILE MERCURY n

In communication there will be tolerance and complacency, so with little effort
you can make profitable contacts, contracts or agreements, short trips. With this
transit, artistic or literary ideas may emerge. It favors all types of commercial
transactions for buying and selling; also for studying, because the mind is lucid and
ready to receive any kind of energy. It's a good time to travel; perhaps the trip is
related to children. Contact is beneficial and help can be obtained through friends, if
Mercury is before the Sun, or through siblings or neighbors, if Mercury makes the
sextile after having passed the position of the Sun. In the first case, the position of
Mercury is one of approximation (not to be confused with application) and in the

49
second one of distancing (not to be confused with separation). For a full explanation
of these terms, see Handbook of Modern Astrology.
Generally. Mercury is faster than the Sun. But if it is retrograde or stationary, its
effects are much longer lasting, so the meaning and importance of this transit may be
greater.

SUN t SEXTILE VENUS n

This contact has the effect of bringing out the emotional character or sexual -
nature, making the person more sensitive to beauty, music or art in general. There is
greater attraction towards the opposite sex; it indicates pleasure in social activities and
the person feels happier, more affectionate and considerate, being surrounded by
affection; in reality. You make a good impression by who you really are, not by what
you think others want you to be. This transit is excellent for any type of interview in
which you want to make a good impression. It's a good time to plan social gatherings,
have fun or spend some quality time. Kindness and closeness to children are the result
of a greater understanding of their emotional needs. There is a need to express love or
beautify the home. It is also a good transit for financial matters, especially in the sense
of securing a situation that was weak. Transiting Venus in sextile to the natal Sun has
the same meaning as transiting Sun in sextile to natal Venus, however, if Venus is
retrograde or stationary, it may last longer in its effects, responding more to external
stimuli, whether from a social or political point of view.

SUN t SEXTILE MARS n

Although it is not as important as the opposite case. Mars sextile the natal Sun
simply indicates a time when the vital forces are activated and therefore, it is excellent
to carry out any type of work. The person acts with faith and optimism in whatever he
or she undertakes and generally also enjoys good health. There may be some rivalry
with others or aggression towards superiors, if these planets are badly aspected in the
birth chart. A decision made with courage can bring satisfaction and if you need to
argue with someone to maintain your position on any issue, at this time you will be -
able to do so effectively. Now he is not willing to turn back, but he will look for a
common point where they can both agree. It is a good time to work with machines or
tools, conduct business related to industry or carry out engineering projects. It turns
out to be a good antidote to the bad influences of Saturn and makes one interested in
something, active and with a positive attitude, preventing a state of stagnation. The
transit of Mars over the natal Sun lasts a little over 7 days, while the transit of the Sun
sextile natal Mars lasts approximately 3 days. However, the transit of Mars over the
natal Sun stimulates physical vitality more, strengthening health, with a determined
impulse to initiate things in a constructive way. Sport and physical activity can give a
lot of pleasure.

50
SUN t SEXTILE JUPITER n
Just as Saturn marks very unfavorable periods and transits from the Sun to Saturn
are quite depressing, aspects from the Sun to Jupiter, on the other hand, are favorable
periods in the year, both in a general sense and from a material point of view.
Traditionally, this is one of the transits considered to be “lucky” but, in reality, what it
is indicating is a very unique state of mind, which is the basis of your success. With
this transit there are more opportunities to progress in the profession or occupation
than before and from a moral point of view, there is faith, loyalty and consideration
for others. There may be contacts with important people. It is a good time to seek the
support of lawyers and priests, and to be admitted to schools or educational, religious
or cultural institutions. In more personal matters, there is satisfaction in being
moderate, rather than self-indulgent, if these planets are not badly aspected to each
other in the natal chart. In general, anything that is undertaken and is reasonable at
this time will turn out well and be beneficial, even if it may not seem so at first. You
should not reject any proposal you receive at this time; any person you meet at this
time, apart from purely social contact, is likely to become a very good friend over
time and will try to do you good. It is an excellent time to handle important legal
matters or financial speculation. The transit of Jupiter sextile to the natal Sun has the
same meaning as the transit of the Sun sextile to natal Jupiter; however, it is much
longer in duration and its effects last almost a month, so this one is more important
and produces many benefits. It marks a period of growth when things start to go
better; it is excellent for making plans and wanting to "do big things," which is the
result of an optimistic approach. It is favorable for long trips in search of pleasure, to -
know or find spiritual enlightenment. Health is good and, in every sense, it reduces
the bad effects of malefic planets. Harmonious contacts of Jupiter are not only very
beneficial with respect to the natal Sun but also with the progressed Sun. It is
favorable for relationships with the male sex; for making partnerships or establishing
business connections. Sometimes it offers marriage in the case of a woman and is a
splendid aspect for marriage. It also indicates the release of obstacles or impediments
and dispels confusion that hinders the achievement of a certain goal.

SUN t SEXTILE SATURN n

This transit is not as important as Saturn sextile the natal Sun, but it is an aspect of
self-control, with a tendency to be conservative and cautious during contact, and also
serves to soften the effects of any Mars or Uranus aspects that might be acting at the
time. These are favorable days to establish communication with those in positions of
authority. Any matter related to work or profession is favored by this transit, due to a
methodical and disciplined mental state. If you have to do any work that requires a lot
of concentration and attention to detail, these are very good days to do it. These are
favorable times to connect with architects and mathematicians. It is also an excellent
time to seek advice or favor from an older person or someone who is respected for

51
their wisdom and experience. It is also good for taking precautionary measures,
favourable for routine work or for finishing a task that has already been started. It is
also a good time to attend to matters that by their nature are slow, heavy and
monotonous. Romantic opportunities may arise through professional contact, business
contact, or contact with people much older than the native. Transiting Saturn sextile
natal Sun has the same meaning as transiting Sun sextile natal Saturn, but it lasts
longer, so its effects are deeper and longer lasting. This case presents more
opportunities than the previous one for achieving something desired, although it will
always require one's effort. because it is not a contact that brings “luck”, but it can be
very lucky if you work hard to achieve it. The sextile comes after Saturn has made the
conjunction with the natal Sun or after the opposition and, thus, it occurs
approximately 5 years and 8 or 9 years, respectively, after these two very important
contacts in life, so that at the time of the sextile any activity begun in either of these
two cycles now comes to overcome the crisis of its beginning, finding everything
easier. It is the time when many of the goals that one set for oneself can be achieved
by working accordingly. There is also recognition from other people, mainly those
who have authority over the native. This is an excellent time to tackle some long-
standing problem or to undertake projects that are considered challenging. At this
time, one has patience, tranquility and serenity to handle responsibilities, carrying
them out with efficiency and maturity. Although health is better than usual, this is a
period when it is better to train or conserve energy rather than expend it, in order to
have sufficient reserves for periods of crisis. Much of what is done now depends on
the not-too-distant future, as far as health is concerned. It is also possible that you take
responsibility for guiding your children with discipline, so that there will be greater
personal authority or sense of dignity.

SUN SEXTILE URANUS n

With this transit you meet new people and suddenly find yourself involved in
situations that are very different from your usual ones. These days it is possible to
make a change of plans that can be stimulating and very interesting. At a mental level,
ideas are captured more quickly and one is sharper and more perceptive. The
expression of individual creativity enjoys greater freedom and original and intuitive
ideas emerge. It is favorable for any work that requires initiative, that requires
inventing or undertaking something not yet tested, to request favors from people who
stand out for their intellect or authority, or from anyone of an unusual character.
Through friends or neighbors, you can find new experiences that will give you other
perspectives, as opposed to the daily routine. Just as these days encourage people to
act more freely and create an atmosphere that is conducive to others accepting
personal ideas or projects, under this influence restrictions are not tolerated; on the
contrary, they are avoided in any way. This transit heightens intuition and energizes
activity, making it an excellent aspect for planning something that requires inspiration

52
and nervous strength. Speculative investments can be very favorable, if these planets
are well aspected in the natal chart. The transit of Uranus sextile the natal Sun has
essentially the same meaning as the transit of the Sun sextile natal Uranus, but since it
is much longer lasting, its effects are more important as well. Some people develop
intellectual interest in science in general or in engineering, electronics, astrology and
the occult in particular. It favors advancement in your profession or occupation; the
realization of desires and hopes or ambitions long cherished over many years. In fact,
this aspect and trine never go unnoticed, as they produce opportunities in unusual
ways that, if not neglected, can lead to important changes. For a woman, this aspect
also represents a good opportunity, as it brings her into contact with men who have
power and prominence. It is very fortunate for any man who is linked to her life, be it
the father, husband or lover, and indicates success for him, increase in authority or
possibility of promotion or progress. With such an aspect, opportunities may arise
that. Due to their nature, they are unique, and friendships can be formed or contact
can be made with a group of people or an organization.

SUN t SEXTILE NEPTUNE n

It is a transit that stimulates creative and imaginative capacity as well as

developing intuitive faculty. There is a keen sensitivity towards music, drama, and in
general towards everything aesthetic. Peace and renewal can be achieved by taking a
few hours of rest. If natal Neptune is very active, this contact may indicate a strong
spiritual or transcendental aspiration, manifesting itself in an altruistic, religious, non-
egoistic, loving, charitable, and kind attitude. This occurs because Neptune diminishes
the strength of one's own ego and makes the individual more willing to grasp and be
aware of the needs of others. These days are favorable for making contact in hospitals,
nursing homes, prisons or religious institutions. The native may have to take on a
leadership role in religious or cultural matters; these are also excellent days for
working on works of art, photography or cinematography. Also, to take a break from
the activity and meditate on the issues that are important to one. It is a good transit for
experiencing psychic phenomena and for spiritual development. However, the level of
physical energy is rather low, so it is not the time to start something that means a new
effort. It is best to devote these days to gaining greater understanding or improving
spiritual well-being, as Neptune acts primarily on the psychic plane. Transiting
Neptune sextile natal Sun has essentially the same meaning as transiting Sun sextile
natal Neptune, but since this influence remains for a long time - due to Neptune's slow
motion, including its long retrograde period - its contact will be more lasting and
deeper. As Neptune is very subtle, psychic and spiritual in its effects, one must pay
close attention and control its action in matters of a practical nature. There is a lot of
imagination and one can even exaggerate both one's joys and one's worries, with a
strong sensitivity. Social work, public charity, music, art, drama and poetry may be of
interest to you at this time. Even psychic or metaphysical knowledge can be applied in

53
daily life, if the person has a certain faculty. During this period it is also good to rely
on luck, as long as there are no contradictory and strong aspects, because good
benefits can appear, if certain risks are taken.

SUN t SEXTILE PLUTO n

This contact is a good influence to clarify a personal situation that may have been
in a state of confusion for some time. From a worldly point of view, it is also good for
putting things in order, cleaning them up or eliminating what is not useful or what is
already outdated, whether it be ideas, attitudes or possessions. It can awaken
ingenuity in handling matters related to a company's finances, insurance or -
inheritances. During this transit, the person is able to make some important change in
his or her immediate environment, or reform some situation that he or she has been
arguing about, unfortunately, for some time. Psychologically, you may feel motivated
or understanding about the fundamental purpose of life and raise your level of
consciousness; you may have an interest in all deeper thoughts, as the superficial
aspects of life are not suitable for you. Transit Pluto sextile natal Sun, however, has
the same meaning as transit Sun sextile natal Pluto, but the latter lacks the importance
of the former.
The effects of transiting Pluto are much more powerful and affect the conditions
surrounding a person's life. With transiting Pluto in sextile to the natal Sun, it helps to
make a creative change in your life; it is at this time when opportunities arise to take
certain steps towards achieving our goals. A part of your past is coming to an end and
now your true purposes become more evident; therefore, important changes can
occur, which alter your goals in life. Opportunities open up to work creatively within
groups or organizations, rather than alone. This transit gives the opportunity to
establish your individuality through working with others. You may experience some
leadership, which is dynamic and constructive and your decisions are powerfully
influential. There are more possibilities to increase interest in science or technology.
Cooperation with others, for the general good, is the philosophy that should be
applied in this contact. On a more practical level, you may be trying to make repairs
to your home or rebuild something; an external manifestation of the internal desire on
a psychological level to modify or rebuild certain structures within yourself.

SUN t SEXTILE NORTH NODE and TRIGONE SOUTH NODE

During these few days, the Sun offers the opportunity to feel good emotionally
and physically as well. Self-confidence is good. It indicates the strengthening of an
intimate relationship, with warmth and vitality. This transit gives social popularity,
and the native is likely to be involved in social activities or popular cultures. There
may be a strong inclination and sympathy for attitudes or fashions that are in vogue.
Sometimes, the native assumes a certain personal leadership role in meetings of

54
people, for different reasons. The transit of the North Node in sextile and the trine of
the South Node with the natal Sun are similar in meaning, however, given its lower
speed than that of the Sun, the former is more durable in its effects. Since the Nodes
move backwards in the Zodiac, roughly averaging Io every 20 days, the aspects they
make last about a month.

SUN t SEXTILE SOUTH NODE and TRIGONE NORTH NODE n

This transit marks a favorable period, as long as it does not receive inharmonious
aspects from other planets at the same time. It may indicate a desire to associate and
have mutual experiences. This contact provides an opportunity to develop new
responsibilities in connection with an already existing union. It can also awaken a
keen interest in traditional cultural values, both from an intellectual and emotional
point of view. The transit of the South Node in sextile or the North Node in trine to
the natal Sun is of similar meaning to the transit of the Sun in sextile to the South
Node and trine to the North Node, however, its effects are usually stronger, due to the
longer duration of contact of the Nodes with the Sun.

SUN t SEXTILE ASC and TRINE DESC n

It is favorable, in the sense that the person feels more optimistic and more self-
confident. He is more sociable and wants to share his personal experiences with
others, especially friends. This transit predisposes you to any type of relationship and
it is better not to avoid other people, because we need them and, in turn, they feel
better because they like to feel needed. Social activity and more intimate relationships
can provide opportunities for self-expression. If you work in a group, the tendency
during these days will be to try to stand out, to show that you have the ability to lead
or enough strength; however, you are honest, and others know it.

SUN t SEXTILE MC and TRIGONE IC n

Creative expression in professional or domestic matters manifests itself with
greater strength and dynamism. In these few days when the Sun makes harmonious
contact with the MC, the person feels emotionally well, strong and confident. The
relationship with superiors is good, so it is an appropriate time for them to grant some
favor that will help the native in his or her efforts. It is a good transit to make contact
with people who have power or authority and it is also good for planning something
important, because you are very clear about what you want and have the serenity of
spirit necessary to correctly approach a plan. It is a good time to take care of
decorating your home or office. The home or family will benefit through this transit.
Love with respect and a sense of responsibility will make your relationships with your
loved ones happier.

55
SUN SEXTILE DESC and TRINE ASC n
This contact has the same meaning as the already seen transit of the Sun in sextile
to the ASC and trine to the natal DESC, but in this case, the emphasis is on the
individual rather than on shared action. Physically and mentally, the person feels
strong and positive. These are favorable days for having fun or entertaining yourself,
and even if you have to work, you will not have much desire or will not apply
yourself enough to it. It is a good transit to start a vacation trip or take a temporary
break. Whatever type of contact you have with other people, you may make a certain
impression on them, even without trying to appear more than you really are.

SUN SEXTILE IC and TRIGONE MC n

This contact has the same meaning as the Sun trine sextile the natal MC and trine
the cusp of the IV or IC House, but in this case, the emphasis is on the MC rather than
the IC. Confident of achieving your goals, you have a clear idea of what you are doing
and where you want to go. However, this is not enough to achieve anything and it
requires hard work and responsibility to achieve good results. You may feel proud of
yourself for having done a good job or for having achieved what you set out to do.
Your conduct is correct and honest and your superiors trust you, which is why you are
seen as a possible candidate for promotion. Either way, whether you are a leader or
not, you will gain the respect or admiration of others these days. At home, there may
be more intellectual activity during this period. Family or personal life will also
benefit in some way from this transit.

SUN t SQUARE SUN n

This transit is not a good time to ask for special favors; problems may arise in
relationships with superiors. During these days, it is better to avoid instilling your
own ideas and not force the will of others. It is possible to find people who hinder our
efforts or who intentionally oppose or cause difficulties; in any case, they force us to
demonstrate that our efforts are valuable. The square aspect of the Sun occurs three
months before or three months after the birthday. The first square is approximate (See
Modern Astrology Manual) and therefore there will be obstacles to completing a
project or receiving remuneration or reward, product of your efforts or events that
occurred three months before, when the transiting Sun was in opposition to the natal
Sun. The second square, on the other hand, is one of distancing and therefore occurs
three months after the birthday; in this case, there may be inconveniences or
objections to doing or building something or launching a project; it is as if a part of
oneself were fighting to protect or shape something, but life demands that it be put to
the test first, before giving birth to it. Three months later, when the opposition takes
place, the result of the efforts of this period appears, whether it was successful or

56
failed. On the other hand, this contact is not good for reckless speculation, for
gambling. If an ambitious person uses this aspect constructively, he or she can
achieve important things.

SUN t SQUARE MOON n

Family relationships or domestic issues require flexibility to overcome

temperamental obstacles, emotional tensions and discontent. Indicates emotional
difficulties with the opposite sex. It is not a good time to have family or social
gatherings because you may feel in a bad mood, absent, isolated and perhaps
frustrated in your goals. In reality, these are days of tension and your actions may be
impulsive, you will be “ill-intentioned” because your will is in conflict with your
emotions. Difficulties with parents or in romantic relationships often arise; children
may rebel against parental authority. It is not a good time to ask for favors from
superiors or those in authority; it is also necessary to be careful of your emotional
reactions against your boss or superior, because there may be difficulty in dealing
with him. Regarding health, there will be some digestive problems, perhaps due to an
attitude of self-indulgence in eating or drinking. This aspect reveals conflict between
the two parts of the personality, the conscious one, which we recognize as our own
(Sun) and which we easily understand, and the subconscious one, which has to do
with our emotional reaction, internal compulsion, emotions and spontaneous habits
(Moon), of which we are generally ignorant. This last part of the personality is not
negative but is different from the conscious part. Therefore, the square between one
and the other produces tension, irritability, strong emotion, so the best thing in these
cases is to know how to handle emotions correctly; especially with this transit, it is
not so difficult. The question is knowing how to balance between will and emotions,
in order to act consciously. The transiting Moon square the Sun has the same
tendency as the transiting Sun square the natal Moon, however, it lasts only a few
hours, so this one has less importance.

SUN t SQUARE MERCURY n

In communication, painful or annoying circumstances may arise, depending on
how Mercury is in the birth chart, as a consequence of showing pride and being
dominant. Vanity or self-love can get in the way of seeing a matter clearly. The
faculty of reasoning impartially is distorted. There may be conflicts with family,
neighbors, friends or children. Difficulty with superiors, due to tasks performed.
Temptation to lie to gratify the ego. Rather, it is a time to listen to others and not be
overwhelming in trying to convince. It is possible that what you say or write in the
coming days will serve to inform other people of something that can later be used
against you. With this transit, promises, agreements and contracts are often broken.
As for the connection of Mercury with Virgo, poor hygiene or extravagance in dress -
can be a cause for criticism. However, with this contact there is enough mental

57
energy, so there will not be boring or tiring days. This is a good opportunity to self-
criticize, before other people have a chance to criticize your ideas. There may be
difficulties in studies and also at work, due to interference from social activities. The
transit of Mercury square to the natal Sun has the same meaning as the transit of the
Sun square to natal Mercury; however, it is somewhat faster, so events also pass
without leaving much of a trace. This indicates more days of intense mental activity
or a lot of communication with others. If the hustle and bustle is pronounced, the
native may become very nervous and may even make mistakes due to lack of
attention at work.

SUN t SQUARE VENUS n

With this transit, feelings are not at their best. You may feel emotional, distracted,
or touchy. You will also feel listless, less desire to work, not wanting to make an
effort or trying to avoid doing unpleasant tasks. They are also not good days for social
activities, meeting up with friends or for a romantic relationship, because they tend to
be unfavorable or present obstacles. Some people feel the need to be admired and tend
to show off or behave extravagantly. The square makes one actively seek sensual
pleasures or love, beauty and harmony, hence there may be a new love relationship or
the possibility of doing some creative work, whether artistic or professional, these
days. Purchases of art, music or entertainment objects are often not appropriate,
because any choice can be in bad taste. With this contact, one should not engage in
financial speculation or incur in reckless expenses that only serve to gratify
momentary desires and later cause remorse. These days you should avoid excesses in
food or drink; there is a tendency towards self-gratification, caused by tensions in the
work or sentimental field. This transit can be positive for shy or withdrawn people,
because it helps them overcome inhibitions. Transit Venus square natal Sun is similar
to transit Sun square natal Venus and has the same meaning. However, Venus'
movement may be slower or retrograde, in which case its effects last longer, the
transit is more pleasant than the previous one and causes less difficulty. It is much
softer and the tendency will be to want peace and tranquility at all costs, so try to
avoid any type of disagreement or conflict, although tranquility is not always the best
solution. You may not feel like standing up for your rights, so don't give up on
something that's really important.

SUN t SQUARE MARS n

Mars gives strength and energy to feelings. The person tends to adopt a rather
dictatorial attitude, to act impulsively and to use force to manage things, without
considering the feelings of others. As a result, fights, mistakes and even violence may
occur, depending on what the birth chart indicates. Aggressive behavior, anger, and
attempts to impose one's will on others can result in resentment and anger from
others. It is not a good time to deal with superiors or people in authority, because

58
conflicts may arise and a very hostile reaction may occur. Impulsive financial
speculation can lead to serious losses. From a health point of view, this contact means
too much physical effort, physical or emotional exhaustion. This contact represents an
energy that seeks a quick and strong outlet, either through hard work or aggressive
attitudes. If the energy is manifesting inward (which is the case when no aggressive
energies are felt), it may have been sublimated and not manifested as illness or
accident. You may also encounter aggressive people these days, because in some way
you are projecting this type of energy that is being experienced. The transit of Mars
square the natal Sun has a similar meaning to the transit of the Sun square natal Mars;
however, it lasts longer, especially if Mars is stationary or retrograde, in which case
its effects can last for several weeks. This transit tends to create disputes and
disagreements, to get angry and irritable, so the responsibility is yours to react to the
importance of what causes the difference. Any confrontation or fight that arises with
this aspect will have its final outcome - for better or worse - in the next conjunction or
opposition of Mars with your natal Sun, which will probably happen about six months
later. The transit of the Sun square natal Mars occurs approximately twice per year,
while the transit of Mars square natal Sun only occurs once.

SUN t SQUARE JUPITER n

This contact should not be considered a very bad aspect, because its influence is
not depressive or unhappy at all. It is promising; it encourages hope and confidence
and this is precisely where one needs to be careful, because there is a danger of
creating false expectations, especially with regard to finances, although it does not
indicate that a serious loss may occur. The problem may arise as a result of a wasteful,
extravagant attitude, or an exaggerated or inflated sense of self-importance. This
transit gives a tendency to squander or promise more than can be delivered, without
giving importance to the details and, therefore, problems can arise. Tendency to be
overly self-indulgent. From a positive point of view, it makes a person generous and if
acted upon with restraint or reflection, this influence will work positively, but if acted
upon excessively, everything done at this time will work negatively. It is best not to
trust people who propose something to you at this time, because it is very likely that
what is proposed will not come to fruition, because it will be impracticable or
falsified. The prospects may be very good, but underneath there is very little. During
this period, the person is likely to calm his or her fears, be more optimistic and
commit to doing or giving this or that thing, but since the aspect promises little, one
must be alert. It is not a good time to start a job, especially when money is involved,
because it is likely to lead to eventual loss over time. Gambling and speculation
should be avoided. The transit of Jupiter square to the natal Sun has the same meaning
as the transit of the Sun square to natal Jupiter; however, there is an important
difference in its duration and, consequently, in the force of the events, especially if
Jupiter is stationary or retrograde, since, logically, the former will be greater. When

59
Jupiter squares the Sun in transit, while its effect lasts you are likely to want to have
more freedom and feel more self-confident, but it is also true that you may have
imprudent and even reckless attitudes, without considering the price of your actions or
decisions. It can be an excellent transit, if you have the proper self-control; it can
provide the possibility of real development or the opportunity for expansion, but you
must be well aware of what your true needs are and then “step with what your leg
gives you.” Tendency to travel, but there are obstacles and inconveniences. In
professional matters, there are formal issues that seem to have no end or bureaucratic
interference. In legal or administrative proceedings, bad advice tends to be costly.
Any purchase, sale or investment tends to be premature and is best postponed until a
more advantageous time. It is also possible that one becomes involved in some ethical
or moral consideration that leads one to become more impatient. With this transit, it is
best to practice moderation, acting with tolerance and humility, rather than
exaggerating one's own capabilities. It is a bad time to make important financial deals,
start a new business, try to satisfy our ambitions or hope for profits, progress or -
recognition.

SUN t SQUARE SATURN n

It is a very unfavorable period for any work that is started and it is only
convenient when it comes to working on matters already undertaken. If you receive
any important proposition at this time, make sure it is practicable. Relationships with
superiors or people in authority are not good with this contact. It is now you who puts
the brakes on others. Responsibilities seem, at this moment, heavy and disappointing.
It is possible to feel pessimistic, slow and clumsy. Their authority may be challenged
by those who are less important. It is an unfavorable contact in general, for social or
sentimental activity. Tradition observes that there is low vitality. fatigue and
depression. Also, be careful of falls, bumps and bruises; too much fatigue can cause a
cold, and if you need to have your teeth fixed, this will be the time when you will
have to do it, whether you want to or not. Children may feel a lack of affection during
this transit, or be treated harshly; adults, in general, tend to adopt a rather unfriendly
or harsh attitude towards young people. Transit Saturn square natal Sun has the same
meaning as transit Sun square natal Saturn, but is much longer lasting and indicates a
period of testing for the individual. A state of frustration of personal ambitions almost
always appears; an unavoidable difficulty in maintaining the freedom of action
available. Projects that were started seven years earlier (conjunction or opposition to
the Sun) are now going through their first major crisis. In reality, it is a period of great
effort, where those projects initiated at that time will be put to the test and it is likely
that what is considered useless or a failure will have to be discarded. But if you try to
save something that is not valuable or obsolete, you will think you have solved the
problem; however, when Saturn comes into opposition to the Sun, seven years later,
the consequences will be terrifyingly clear. It is therefore advisable to cut off the root

60
cause of the losses and concentrate energies on other areas that bring more success in
life, in order to achieve a fortunate culmination when the same seven-year period
ends. This transit can affect not only oneself but also the health and conditions of
male people closely linked to family and professional life.
Transit correlates very well with marked changes and sometimes even deaths.
Things generally take a while; to achieve something, a great effort must be made; the
native is easily discouraged, gets tired and is often misunderstood or blamed for
something for which he is not responsible. At this time, it is best to take things as they
come and try not to force their conditions. This is the worst time to start a new
business or undertake any risky operation. Establishing a new relationship with the
male sex during this period is negative, because over time there will be -
disappointment. For a woman, this transit generally produces a state of disharmony in
married life; problems and disagreements with her husband, boyfriend or lover. This
aspect does not necessarily affect economic conditions, although it may do so if
Jupiter is also afflicted at the same time. This is a very important transit for your
health and, if you are not careful, you may suffer a serious setback, particularly in the
cardiovascular system; that is why it is a good idea to plan some change in your life
that will help your health.

SUN t SQUARE URANUS n

During these days, the tendency is to feel tense or nervous. Changes in everyday
affairs or unexpected obstacles suddenly appear that require greater effort to act on a
different level. These are the days when you are "pushed out of your mind"; your
behavior tends to be erratic, unsupported or untrustworthy and then you do not
continue with your normal routine. The main factor in these cases is the unexpected,
for example: a long power cut; a car breaking down; an unexpected separation from -
someone, etc. Any proposal received at this time is best taken with skepticism as to its
concreteness and if you have any new idea regarding the management of a business,
factory, etc., you should be rather cautious about executing it immediately. It is better
to wait for the traffic to pass and then think about whether the idea is still as practical
or attractive as it seemed. During these few days, the relationship with superiors or
people in authority can be difficult, especially because the desire for freedom is very
great and one can argue with the restrictions they impose on one or, on the contrary,
because other people resist the restrictions one wants to impose on them. There may
also be a selfish and stubborn attitude that prevents you from receiving good advice or
a new idea. Some emotional contact may occur, but this bond is rarely stable or
lasting. Astrological interpretation carried out during a transit like this can be
defective and superficial. Transit Uranus square natal Sun has the same meaning as
transit Sun square natal Uranus; however, it can last more than a year, so it marks an
extended period of important change. The transit of Uranus over the natal Sun makes
the person restless, dissatisfied with the past or with traditional or conventional
methods of doing things, so one may question what one is really doing. There is a

61
desire for freedom at any price and if this is satisfied but without personal
responsibility, sooner or later it will manifest serious difficulties. Surely, to be free,
you will have to fight, whether it is a situation of domineering parents, a bad marriage
or an unsatisfying job. Either way, some obstacle prevents you from doing what you
need to do, so you rebel against it. But if you act according to your life purpose and
experience, this time of separation and discord can be successfully weathered;
however, if you find that these energies are so destructive that you cannot control
them, it is necessary to make the necessary changes so that their effects will be more
beneficial. If the Sun in the birth chart is afflicted, one must be very careful if one has
decided to make important changes under this influence. because it can be misleading
and disastrous. When the Sun is afflicted, this contact can be the most radical and
extreme of all transits. Sometimes it causes a person to stand up for causes that are
unpopular or something that can never be achieved, but which they feel they must
fight for in order to achieve results. The native is often poorly advised and guided by
unusual criteria or is encouraged to create antagonisms with those with whom he
works, is associated with or has business dealings. As a result, he loses friends, feels
abandoned, and falls victim to confusion, dishonesty, and discontent. Sometimes
things look good until the very last moment, when they suddenly go downhill without
warning - that's Uranus! It also causes sudden deaths, separations or disunions in -
family life or in the professional sphere, and always on the male side. The father may
die, or the partner or someone very close, but always in the most unexpected way.

SUN t SQUARE NEPTUNE n

It is an influence that should be distrusted and in all cases - except for matters
connected with Neptune where this energy is used - it is better to be skeptical about
the people you meet these days, also about the proposals you receive or the new ideas
that arise, because it is likely that a certain element of deception will occur later in
their development. Psychologically, the person is predisposed to distraction, mistakes
or daydreaming, may tend to become self-absorbed, abuse alcohol and drugs and have
emotional concerns. These are certainly temporary moods, but they are not good days
to do work that requires courage and self-confidence. If you want to deceive someone,
you will lack mental acuity or intelligence, something will go wrong; on the contrary,
you should be careful with what they tell you because it is possible that they will try
to deceive you. In this case, using common sense is the order of the day and
proceeding normally, according to the real world around us and not as we would like
it to be. If during the days when this square of the Sun takes effect, you feel extremely
nervous, anxious or exhausted and depressed, try to distance yourself from the
environment that surrounds you and from the people you usually see on a daily basis,
because there is something in the magnetic energy between two people that needs
adjustment or correction and it is likely that this aspect will act unfavorably on the
psychic level. Transiting Neptune square natal Sun is similar in meaning to transiting
Sun square natal Neptune; however, its influence is much longer lasting,

62
approximately two years, we might say, due to the various periods of retrograde and
stationary motion. In this case, the influence is disintegrative; it tends to destroy the
will and acts directly on the psychic and emotional nature. The unconscious mind can
distort the perception of reality as well as the idea about oneself. It can be a period of
great confusion and uncertainty, when you don't know what direction to take in life.
You may experience great disappointments at work and even at home, feeling
discouraged and frustrated. A secret love or some kind of sentimental disappointment
is also likely. Abuse of medications and drugs can weaken and even derange an
individual. But this happens as a consequence of not having acted with all his energy
in his actions or with the necessary force to guarantee success, which is why he now
fails. It is important, then, to proceed with complete truthfulness under this transit, -
starting with oneself. You should avoid the temptation of wanting to change jobs now;
do not take any risks. It is also not a good time to join mystical or spiritual
associations, because the inherent confusion and weakness can produce deception and
disillusionment. This contact indicates a temporary psychological period; in addition,
it can bring about poor health, weakness, great fatigue and sometimes even anemia.
One piece of advice is to avoid contact with exotic or strange people. Vampirism is
very common with this aspect. When you feel exhausted or nervous, the best thing to
do is to take a few days off by changing your environment and getting away from the
people you usually associate with, even if you don't like doing so. Risky projects,
maneuvers or speculations to get rich quickly can turn out to be disastrous. Gas, fuel
or water leaks can be a problem.

SUN t SQUARE PLUTO n

During these days you may feel pressured by circumstances. You may be forced
to make a radical change to something that is not working very well. With this
contact, it is best to always discard what is useless or what appears to be outdated or
invalid, because retaining it will make life, in some way, more difficult. He is not
good at dealing with people in authority, because he tends to argue; they may demand
explanations about one's actions and abuse their power. Work-related intrigues may
also arise, or one may feel compromised, manipulated, or frustrated by one's inability
to drive. Tendency to be somewhat rude towards one's children or towards the person
one loves. This transit also has to do with machines breaking down, interruptions or
work stoppages. Transiting Pluto square natal Sun has the same meaning as transiting
Sun square natal Pluto; however, it can last for approximately two years in its effects,
taking into account the periods of relgradation and stationaration, so it marks a period
of profound transformation in a person's life. There is a challenge to strength of
character, maturity and integrity, motivated by conditions that repress authentic
creative expression in every man. This contact can create an existential crisis and if
you do not know yourself well, this transit is likely to produce a great change in your
life. It can be upset by circumstances beyond one's control, thus giving one a new
sense of values and another direction in life. This transit stimulates ambition and the

63
desire for power to an unusual degree. If there are traits of cruelty in your personality,
this is the time when the energy will be released with greater force, to destroy
whatever opposes it. In extreme cases, one can become involved in matters of life and
death. All kinds of subversive activity can take place during this time. If the
accounting part of your business or the cash register is in the hands of others, it is
necessary to control it, to know if the tasks being performed are correct. Employees
may be working surreptitiously. In truth, Pluto transits are not obvious, they are based
on hidden, internal changes first, which come to light once they have been
consummated. For this reason also, the tremendous change that the individual
undergoes is not so evident to others. If one acts in the right way and voluntarily, that
is, following the natural direction of the change that is taking place, there will be no
internal conflict and one will not be forced by circumstances. In dangerous situations,
there is no doubt that this transit can cause a lot of damage, through explosions or
physical aggression. It is therefore better to try to avoid conflicts with others, which
may lead to confrontation. In its connection to domestic matters, Pluto has to do with
the house's pipes and sewers, so this contact can be related to problems in them.
Remember that Pluto means elimination, so we can even help release this energy with
this transit by eliminating things that have been accumulating in the past, such as
emptying places like the basement or a shed, etc. It is also good to control your own -
evacuation system, to easily eliminate non-essentials and clear it of obstacles and
impediments. Pluto “excites” everything that goes crazy and is said to favor the
reproduction of bacteria in the body, more quickly than normal. Some people are
more predisposed to venereal diseases or intestinal fever during this period. The car
may have defects in the exhaust pipe or the muffler for the same reason. Sometimes
there is a possibility of some hidden or secret danger, to the detriment of the native,
depending on other factors of the subject. It is also true that at this time, a person
should completely avoid contact with magical, parapsychological, and etheric
practices.

SUN t SQUARE NORTH NODE and SOUTH NODE n

It is not a favorable period for relationships with others, especially for seeking
their support. There is a possibility of a decline in popularity. Speculation at this time
can be harmful. The relationship with the children, in particular, is not good because
of their behavior. There may also be emotional difficulties.

SUN t SQUARE ASC and SQUARE DESC n

Clashes due to an egocentric attitude; the native tries to dominate others, or
conversely, finds that others try to dominate him or her. Power struggles and a
dogmatic attitude characterize this transit. If you are fighting for something that you
feel is really valid, this transit turns out to be positive, because the influence will be
enlightening and others will eventually accept being led; the danger exists when you

64
know that the fight is not valid, because in this case it will be harmful and will create
conflicts unnecessarily. Emotional or marital problems are the result of a personal
attitude. These few days are bad for the relationship with superiors, including the
father; he may be considered a person who causes problems or is a disturbing agent.

SOL t MC SQUARE and IC SQUARE n

These are days of intense activity, with increased professional responsibility. Even
very good results can be achieved with this transit, as long as you are considerate of
others. Therefore, this contact can also mean having disputes with others, particularly
with your boss or immediate superior. The problem lies in a selfish attitude on your
part or in the fact that your desire to achieve your goals clashes with that of others,
and is not in harmony. Family conflicts may also arise or children may be the source
of the disturbance. If you try to view the situation from a more impersonal
perspective, not letting yourself be carried away by your desires, you will be able to
harness that energy to your advantage.

SUN t TRINE SUN n

Integrity and self-confidence. This transit represents a state of balance, without
tensions; these are days in which there is optimism that everything will turn out well.
It occurs twice a year, approximately four months before or after the birthday. The
trine in distance, that is, four months after the conjunction, indicates a period of
success and popularity; it is the time to shine and give birth or to strengthen what has
already begun, because within a few months it reaches its critical culmination. The
approximate trine, i.e. four months before the conjunction, indicates a period in which
the projection into the future should be prepared here. This transit also indicates
harmony in social activities; in general, it is a good opportunity to make contact with
those who are in a position of power or have authority, as well as to take greater
interest in the education of children. Any decision made these days, whether it is to
set a goal, start something or begin a relationship, will have the necessary strength to
carry it through to its completion, and this will certainly be of value. It is an excellent
aspect to express yourself or be a leader in some way, and working for the education
of children can have favorable results.

SUN t TRINE MOON n

It is an aspect that indicates harmonious relationships with the family. These are
days to rest, read, dedicate time to oneself, enjoy simple pleasures, have family -
gatherings or with close friends. It takes serenity and objectivity to examine oneself
and know what is really needed, as well as what needs to be done to achieve it. Given
the state of balance or harmony, it is now good to try to find a way to correct -

65
misunderstandings or mistakes made with other people and thus eliminate tensions
and be able to get along with others. Relationships with the opposite sex are easier
than usual. The trine between the Sun and the Moon creates harmony between man
and woman, as well as within oneself, as the individual carries within him or herself
the ideal image of the opposite sex, which is symbolized by the sign and aspects of
the Sun in a woman's chart or by the sign and aspects of the Moon in a man's chart. If
the trine is approximate, that is, the Sun goes towards the Moon, it means that you
have already gone through (the last few months) a period of tension (opposition) and
are now in a good position to evaluate what has happened and take advantage of this
understanding. Any projection into the future should consider and incorporate what
has been learned intimately. If the trine is a distance, that is, the Sun is in opposition
to the Moon, it means that the critical and culminating period is approaching, that is,
the period in which it will have to withstand great pressures. So now is the time to
make the necessary changes, before you are unable to make them due to lack of
sufficient peace of mind. It is a good time for businesses related to food, agriculture,
real estate or activities involving children, entertainment and even financial
speculation, if confirmed by the birth chart. The transit of the Moon trine the natal
Sun is similar in significance, though it is of lesser importance, as it lasts only a few
hours; whereas the transit of the Sun over the natal Moon lasts two to three days.

SUN t TRINE MERCURY n

This transit is not of much importance, unless Mercury was highly aspected in the
natal chart. In any case, it tends towards intellectual activity because, of course, it
vitalizes and intensifies mental action. These are times when ideas are expressed
clearly, for intelligent communication. In both private and public conversation, the
individual displays an authority and integrity that others respect. Pleasure trips are
enjoyable and business trips are fruitful, and plans are easily coordinated. It is a good
period for studying and learning, because the mind is quick, receptive and calm; it is
also favorable for writing, teaching or giving lectures. You are now likely to be able
to communicate with people who are in positions of power or have authority. There
may be good news that will help you achieve your goals; your plans for the future are
now encouraged and stimulated. There may also be an opportunity to collaborate or
work with siblings, neighbors, or coworkers. There is greater interest in proper -
nutrition and physical and mental hygiene. It is a good contact for making and signing
agreements, contracts and agreements. The transit of Mercury trine to the natal Sun
has a similar meaning to the transit of the Sun trine to natal Mercury; however, it may
last longer than the latter if Mercury is retrograde or stationary, and its effects will
logically be more pronounced.

SUN t TRINE VENUS n

With this transit, one feels calmer, more relaxed, without greater ambitions or

66
worries about work. It is a good period for sentimental or social communication.
There is great satisfaction and harmony with loved ones and the person has a very
happy and optimistic outlook on life. So it is a very positive transit that makes the
person feel good, both physically and emotionally. A romantic approach is possible
during these days, although if other contacts by direction do not confirm this fact, it
will not have far-reaching consequences. The person will be very affectionate, with an
increase in personal charm or attractiveness. It is a good time to buy clothes, art
objects, jewelry or luxury items, because there is a great sensitivity towards beauty; in
fact, the best purchases will be those of objects that increase in value as they age. It is
a good time to plan a social gathering, to invite friends, but if you prefer to stay away,
you will feel very lonely. The transit of Venus trine the natal Sun is a similar
influence to the transit of the Sun trine natal Venus; however, it can last longer when
the speed of the planet Venus decreases by becoming retrograde or stationary, in
which case it will be stronger. Marriage may be celebrated or a commercial company
may be formed, because the capacity to form an association is highly favored,
provided that it coincides with some similar address. The person is more aware and
considerate of the needs of others, especially when the opposite sex is involved. There
is a spirit of camaraderie, solidarity and kindness towards others, which makes -
working relationships more fluid and easier. It is a good time to engage in any artistic
activity or successfully complete a creative or musical project.

SUN t TRINE MARS n

It is not an important contact, but it indicates that the vital energy at that moment
is very active; one feels physically strong, with a great desire to do things. It is a good
time not only to expend energy but to invigorate the mind or the entrepreneurial spirit,
doing things that require courage, energy and initiative. It is favorable for everything
that requires applying drastic measures or greater effort for surgical operations or any
other form of force, because the recovery capacity is high. This contact gives courage
and self-confidence, a desire to act independently and for one's own benefit. There is
a need to test one's own strength, so as not to depend on others. It is favorable for
outdoor activities, sports, as well as participating in competitions, with a good chance
of winning them. The native feels more confident and positive in social or sentimental
matters. Sexual energy, like vitality, is fiery and intense. The transit of Mars trine the
natal Sun is similar in meaning to the transit of the Sun trine natal Mars; however, it
has a longer duration of effects and therefore the effort is more sustained. This is an
excellent influence to counteract the bad influences of Saturn, because it promotes
activity, prevents stagnation and engenders an optimistic attitude as opposed to a
pessimistic one. In this sense, it is not as powerful, beneficial and long-lasting an
energy as that of Jupiter, but it is quite similar, although more active and affirmative.
The person feels stronger and has a great desire to work. Good transit to begin any
kind of activity, especially physical activity, as well as for any activity already begun

67
but which requires decisive action; now is the time to take action to reach that
position of advancement that is needed. Your intentions are clear and open; your
energy and enthusiasm will make a good impression, so you will be in a good position
to deal with the boss or your superiors.

SUN t TRINE JUPITER n

It is a magnetic, healthy and fruitful contact that tones, gives security, faith, power
and hope. According to tradition, this is one of the most fortunate and positive
transits. It favors personal progress, thanks to the help of superiors or people with
money or power, because now benefits, credit and good disposition are easily
obtained. You can also have help or recognition from educational, cultural or religious
institutions. There is self-confidence and inspires confidence in others. Everything
that is undertaken in this period will be carried out satisfactorily. Because your mood
is optimistic and positive, you can undertake many things or make changes without
being frustrated by the feeling of loss. If you have to deal with some important
financial matter, now is the best time to do so. If you receive any proposal at this time,
do not reject it, and if you meet someone who is not just due to circumstances, it is
possible that she will become very good friends with you and try to favor you in some
way. Purchases made now are very satisfying and will give you pleasure for a long
time. As the mind is eager to have new experiences or knowledge, it is possible that it
will begin some journey or take some advanced course. The periods covered by the
aspects of the Sun to Jupiter are the most fortunate and benefic of the year, except
when the Sun forms bad aspects with the malefics at the same time, which hardly
happens in every transit. This is one of the most defining periods of life. You are in
good health and have a feeling of well-being; your financial situation is prosperous
and new opportunities to improve your position are presenting themselves.
We are referring in this case to the transit of Jupiter in trine to the natal Sun
which, although similar in meaning to the transit of the Sun in trine to natal Jupiter, is
of longer duration so its effects are more prolonged. It is also a time of recovery and
circumstances tend to achieve the goal that had been set, since it is capable of
stopping the bad effects of malefics. Let us also remember that its effects (like all
planets) not only act on the natal Sun but also on the progressed Sun, so these
favorable periods extend to other periods of life. It is also favorable for starting
relationships or business associations with the male sex. It generally produces
connections with men who play an important role in their lives and who offer business
opportunities, in the case of a man, or offer marriage, in the case of a woman.
From an economic point of view it is unbeatable, without problems or obstacles. It
indicates the release from impediments and delays; it always announces a better
period in finances, unless natal Jupiter is afflicted by other malefics, mainly by
Saturn, in which case the effects will not be so marked. It is a good transit for taking

68
risks, speculating, playing or betting, with a high probability of success, taking into
consideration what has been said above. For a woman, it acts in the same way
whenever she works in some profession or trade, otherwise, it acts through her health
or her relationships with the male sex; for example, husband, brothers and even
children enjoy a period of success (verifying other deductions according to the house:
III brothers, VII husband, V children, etc.).

SUN t TRINE SATURN n

This is a favorable transit for matters that by their nature are connected with the
land, real estate or old conditions. This aspect, like the sextile, tends toward self-
control, moderation, and a cautious attitude. Now it is easier to assume
responsibilities and make commitments and obligations towards others, because they
need you. The ideas are efficient and the efforts made are well organized. If you work
in an employment relationship, your superiors will notice your efficient and dedicated
work. He is more disciplined and aware than before, able to channel his energies
towards a specific goal that he wishes to achieve. It is a short but excellent period to
begin some intellectual discipline or undertake some technique that requires
concentration and attention to detail. It is not a major transit - due to the rapidity of
the Sun's natural movement - and works well on a practical level. There is a greater
tendency to put creative ideas into practice. It is a good time to organize and plan a
way to sort out scattered or confused issues. because under this influence, serious and
thorough work will achieve lasting results. The transit of Saturn trine the natal Sun is
similar in its effects to the transit of the Sun trine natal Saturn, although it is much
longer lasting and indicates a period of firm and stable progress in the native's life.
However, this transit does not seem to be particularly fortunate and at best it will take
advantage, but with effort. Saturn, even in trine aspect, demands obligations and
responsibilities and rarely gives anything for free, as often happens with other planets.
If opportunities appear at this time, it is good to accept them, because with them you
will be able to build a firm foundation on which to base your future, especially to
withstand the difficulties that will arise tomorrow, against your security and that occur
when Saturn makes the opposition or conjunction to the Sun. From a health
perspective, it is a time to conserve energy, not waste it, and constant effort at this
time can lead to problems. There may be no reserves when you really need your
strength or energy. Older people in general and those in authority will tend to help
you. It is also a good period in general for executives, politicians and businessmen in
particular.

SUN t TRINE URANUS n

This is a favorable transit for any work that requires initiative, inventiveness, to
undertake something new or to request favors from distinguished intellectuals or those

69
in power. It is characterized by originality, creative expression and sometimes by
unexpected good luck, if the Sun or Uranus have good aspects, especially with
benefic ones. This is an excellent contact for doing business or making contracts with
large companies, with the State, or for planning something that requires a special
effort, inspiration and good nerves. From a personal point of view, these are
enlightening or illuminating days about oneself; it is a good contact to make
discoveries about oneself and the world around one. Now there are no hiding things
and you will be extremely frank about yourself.
Intuitive or clairvoyant faculties are stimulated and this transit often awakens
curiosity about the occult sciences, astrology or scientific studies. The transit of
Uranus trine the natal Sun is similar in meaning, although it is far more lasting in its
effects, since if its retrograde and stationary periods are taken into account, the
Uranus contact lasts approximately two years, as opposed to the 2 or 3 days that the
Sun contact takes.
This transit therefore leads to an expansion of individual experience, through
changes in the way of living, new friendships with more interesting and attractive
people or exciting romantic adventures. If the transits of Jupiter are the most fortunate
and those of Saturn the most unfortunate, those of Uranus are the most important and
interesting. Uranus is called the "awakener" and the one who reveals latent
possibilities, giving them strength and increasing the sphere of influence or putting
the person in contact with important matters that would not have been possible before.
With this aspect you can expect the unexpected. In addition, there will be a desire for
greater freedom and you will have the willpower to make constructive efforts for your
own advancement. Sometimes this transit presents unique opportunities in life to
achieve one's goals or objectives.
In fact, it is beneficial for getting a promotion and for realizing desires and hopes
that may have been postponed for years. For a woman, this aspect gives strong
possibilities; she often comes into contact with prominent or powerful men. Any man
closely linked to her life, be it father, husband or lover, will be successful at this time
or have the possibility of being promoted or having his power and popularity increase.
Under this influence, the woman is more magnetic and has more power over the man.
Every man who enters her life at this time will play an important role and will attract
her intensely.

SUN t TRINE NEPTUNE n

During these days, the tendency is to feel calm, tender and dreamy. This transit
gives a strong desire to understand life but at a deeper and more spiritual level, both
from an emotional and mental point of view. It awakens sensitivity; a subtle vibration
that not everyone can pick up on, unless Neptune or Pisces are active in the birth
chart. In this case, it provides a strong aspiration for elevation of a spiritual and
transcendental order, which makes the individual more altruistic, religious, generous,

70
not selfish, with a desire to help, performing acts of kindness and charity, of love for
his fellow men. This transit can increase the sensitivity of the native, so he may be
exposed to the most ordinary or rough action of people who have strong Mars, Jupiter
or Saturn. Having a natal predisposition, this contact allows for extremely elevated
mystical or religious experiences, like ecstasy, because Neptune acts mainly on the
psychic plane. It is possible that during these days you will show a certain type of
very marked idealism that will manifest itself predominantly in your dealings or with
your relationships. It is also possible that someone may need your help and you may
even be called to work for others, without any benefit, except the gratitude of having
performed a good or charitable work. Transiting Neptune trine natal Sun has the same
meaning as transiting Sun trine natal Neptune; however, it lasts approximately two
years, considering the retrograde and stationary periods, so it marks an important time
for the individual's internal development. You may have a certain spiritual experience,
develop some psychic faculty that was potentially latent, or act motivated by a lofty,
sublime feeling, very charitably. There is an increasing interest in religion,
philosophy, mysticism and the occult sciences. The native may receive benefits
through a spiritual teacher. Prophetic prediction, clairvoyance, telepathy or simply
perceiving the needs of others is possible. A feeling of compassion for others is
awakened, which can be manifested through work or personal service in institutions
that are dedicated to helping or assisting the physically or mentally incapacitated and
those in financial need. In addition, it greatly stimulates the imagination; any creative
artistic, musical or literary work is favored by this influence. Sometimes it grants
money in a totally unusual or unexpected way, and it is a good time to take advantage
of some opportunity that at first does not seem favorable, but which unexpectedly
turns out to be contrary in everything. With this aspect it is good to take certain risks,
as long as there are no other strong and contradictory aspects. What you have
dreamed of many times can now become a reality: moving to the ideal place; taking
the trip you longed for; having the romance you dreamed of, etc. It is a favorable time
to get involved with hospitals, religious or cultural institutions.
SUN t TRINE PLUTO n
With this transit, the native will have an easy time getting what he wants from
others or getting the collaboration of others, because now his importance or value has
grown for them. People may rally around you or feel that you should lead or guide
them; hence you may take on the role of leader in any professional, business or
political matter. During this transit, the experiences resulting from your action will be
more intense and powerful. You will have more willpower, ingenuity and
determination. It is an excellent aspect for carrying out tasks or jobs related to the
removal of objects that need to be discarded. It is also for study or research. From a
psychological point of view, a favorable period to delve deeper into the reasons that
determine one to continue fighting or searching, or the changes that one should make
to make life easier. The transit of Pluto trine to the natal Sun is very similar in
meaning to the transit of the Sun trine to natal Pluto, but since its duration is

71
approximately two years, between retrograde and stationary position, its effects are
much more marked. However, Pluto transits in general are sometimes not as obvious
as those of other planets, but are more subtle (similar to those of Neptune). They are
often based on internal rather than external changes, but they are always tremendous!
In the case of the trine, it marks a more favorable period, in the sense that some -
situation and even attitudes that come from the past are now resolved, concluded and
changed. The strength with which he faces his problems comes from having an
upright and incorruptible character; he has more perspective and capacity for -
discrimination and conviction. It may be one of the most important periods of your
life because your existential purposes, self-expression and ability to grasp things
gradually move into a new dimension. Others will see you as more influential,
stronger and more effective, so they will respect you.
You may have more power in some organization or in the government itself,
where you can carry out reforms or major structural changes. Matters initiated at this
time will set in motion energies that will last for many years, produce deep
satisfaction, and give meaning to your life. In reality, it is a period of regeneration that
can result in a positive change to evolve and grow in every way. Favorable transit for
starting a large-scale enterprise; also for dedicating oneself to scientific research or
doing advanced technology studies. Personally, he can take on the role of leader in a
group activity because he has the ability to command others; he knows how to attract
the necessary collaboration and be an arbitrator between the parties. Often, the person
benefits from an inheritance, loan or donation. From a health perspective, it is an
excellent time to eliminate waste, cleanse the body and even heal oneself.

SUN t OPPOSITION SUN n

These are days when you don't feel good about yourself. It is now appropriate to
analyze one's own decisions regarding objectives that are not carried out
satisfactorily. When dealing with superiors or people in authority, care must be taken,
because conflicts or rivalries may arise. The ego's tendency is to seek confrontation
over a question of power or ambition. This transit occurs six months after the
birthday, so what was started at that time comes to its culmination, so it is better to
take advantage of this influence positively, preparing beforehand. This is often a
period that reveals some failure of the efforts made earlier, however, do not allow
yourself to feel defeated or disheartened. On the contrary, we must recognize that it is
a time of tension, with little strength, and that it is better to wait a little until the
critical point passes. However, this aspect can serve to be more aware and incorporate
these experiences into your own life. It is also not good to distance yourself from
people with whom you have had disagreements, because they are very important to
you. Partnering with influential and high-character people is beneficial at this time.
However, arrogance, pride and ostentation must be avoided.

SUN t OPPOSITION MOON n

It is an important contact, since it deals with the luminaries. These can be days of
tension and confrontation between two antagonistic positions: what's mine and what's
yours, the conscious and the unconscious impulse, the objective and the subjective,
me and them, what's private and what's public, the mental and the emotional, etc. So
the result depends on which side we put the emphasis: rational or sentimental. If we
manage to harmonize both parts, that is, that the feelings take the same path as the
conscious intention, they will be very favorable days. Difficulties may occur with the
opposite sex, mainly with family members. The emotional nature can react and cause
problems. There may be problems in domestic matters, as well as problems with
children. It would be wrong to move now. It is better to leave things as they are. It is
also not favorable for romantic contact or social activity. From a health perspective,
digestive problems can appear as a result, generally, of tense emotional states. Lack of
vitality. The transit of the Moon opposite the natal Sun is similar in meaning;
however, it lasts only a few hours, unlike the transit of the Sun opposite the natal
Moon, which is effective over two to three days.

73
SUN t OPPOSITION MERCURY n
It is a contact of irritability, restlessness and nervousness that tends to produce
changes, movement, indecision and even confusion, if Mercury is afflicted by Mars,
Uranus, Moon or Neptune. Ego clashes with the ideas of others, so that
communication is affected by argument or partial understanding of the facts. But if
you are objective and try to be more receptive, you may avoid confrontation. If
someone gives you personal advice, what they say can be very enlightening. Consider
your life as it is, not as you would like it to be. You may feel dissatisfied with your
work or studies; communication with superiors or people in authority will be difficult
to reach clarification or agreement, because there will be no harmonious exchange in
which fundamental ideas are discussed. Sometimes, with this aspect, it is necessary to
consult another person about some feature of one's own life, which will only be useful
if one is willing to listen to and understand someone else's objective opinion. In these
cases it is always better that Mercury is not retrograde and it is good not to make
important decisions if there are unfavorable aspects of Mercury at the same time. Bad
aspects from the Sun to natal Mercury give nervousness and worry, a tendency to
change, movement, uncertainty and confusion. These are not good times to sign
important papers, nor to ask for favors from your employer or other people in
authority. Siblings, neighbors and coworkers need your consideration and support.
You may need to travel, but it is more likely to be for business reasons than pleasure.
As far as health is concerned, it is best to avoid arguments, emotions or situations that
require a great expenditure of nervous energy.

SUN t OPPOSITION VENUS n

In general, it is not a favorable transit for planning social gatherings because
tensions arise and although the effect of this aspect can give a person a good mood
and make them attractive, its influence will make it so that what they want will not be
entirely satisfactory, with little ease in achieving it, or they will have to force the
natural sense of circumstances in order to satisfy their desires. You may not want to
be alone and it is good for you to talk to another person now or seek their advice. This
is a good transit, because it shows love and affection to loved ones and brings much
pleasure and enjoyment with other people, unless you have difficulties with them, in
which case it could aggravate the situation. However, the relationship is very
significant because you are now aware of how much you need others. It is likely that
in your activity there will be artistic, social or sentimental contacts. During these days,
moderation in eating and drinking is required. The transit of Venus in opposition to
the natal Sun has the same meaning as the transit of the Sun in opposition to natal
Venus, but it lasts less when it is direct or lasts longer when it is retrograde or
stationary and this, in some way, also influences giving excessive indulgence to
oneself, being more reticent to work or not having enough self-discipline. Perhaps you
feel physically weak and sluggish, but it is actually a better time to rest and not rush .

74
Some caution is required in any new relationship formed with this aspect; there may
be a lack of discretion. It is better to be cautious about showing off, being extravagant
or being exaggerated. Lack of attention to detail can lead to errors at work. Under
emotional pressure you may feel unappreciated.

SUN t OPPOSITION MARS n

With this transit, there is a tendency to adopt an overly dictatorial attitude and to
act impulsively and forcefully. Since there is a need to handle things without taking
others into account, anger, fights and even violence may occur, depending on the
case, according to what the horoscope reveals. You may show a competitive or selfish
attitude in professional or work matters. Aggressive behavior or impulsive behavior
can create resentment in relationships with others, difficulties with the police or with
officials in authority. It is a contact where the ego's energies appear to confront or
compete with others. At best, it can be a match in any sport; it can be the opponent or
rival fighting against one, in order to maintain his own position or defend his physical
body. Although the Sun transiting natal Mars is fast and not as strong or aggressive as
in the opposite case, it is better not to take unnecessary risks, because there is also a
tendency to cuts, bruises or burns. Generally, this transit occurs at a time when many
activities or projects reach their culmination, producing a somewhat critical climax;
hence it is necessary to act quickly, skillfully and even intelligently. The transit of
Mars in opposition to the natal Sun is similar in meaning to the transit of the Sun in
opposition to natal Mars; however, it is of longer duration and thus indicates a period
of much conflict; it is a sign of quarrels, of having differences or disagreements,
especially with the male sex. In women's horoscopes, difficulties with the husband,
father or lover, as the case may be. It also indicates danger of accident, especially if
the natal or progressed Sun is attacked by Saturn, Uranus or Pluto. Regarding health,
this transit produces sudden inflammatory attacks; aggravates conditions that may be
affecting you; raises blood pressure; “excites”, causes too much activity and a lot of
eating and drinking. Time to “catch” some virus. Avoid hasty changes and impulsive
anger because they lead to unpleasant moments. The opposition may be the
culmination of some activity begun with the conjunction, so now it can be a "double-
edged sword" because if during the square you emerged unscathed from the critical
circumstances that tested you, now you can enjoy the fruits of your efforts, but if not,
it is destructive and can even cause ruin if the natal or progressed sun is attacked by
other planets as well.

SUN t OPPOSITION JUPITER n

This transit is characterized by a general tendency towards exaggerated expansion.
It is possible to feel overly confident and optimistic, too confident about something
that may actually be dangerous, and to feel brave enough to do something you would
never have dared to do before. During these few days you may spend unnecessarily

75
and if you delay your purchase for a few days you may find the same or better quality
at a lower price. Avoid now committing excesses of any kind or being too indulgent
with yourself. It may be a treacherous contact in financial matters, although it does
not indicate a heavy loss; nor is it likely that things will happen according to our
wishes. Disappointment sometimes occurs from having too many expenses. The
relationship with superiors is not good due to hypocritical, arrogant or extravagant
behavior. Lack of respect or excessive self-sufficiency can lead to difficulties later on.
It is a time to allay fears, have more hope and offer promise, although not for long as
the outlook is low. It is a bad time for legal or judicial matters and one must be very
cautious when money is involved. The transit of Jupiter in opposition to the natal Sun
has the same meaning as the transit of the Sun in opposition to natal Jupiter; however,
due to the longer duration of its effects, it tests the native's understanding and ability
to discriminate. Opportunities arise that seem very favorable and in which a lot of
trust and hope is placed, but the result is never satisfactory because there are more
expenses than income or because they appear prosperous but internally one feels
dissatisfaction due to lack of freedom, impatience, etc. It is not a good time to deal
with wealthy people or those who have power. Like any opposition, this one
represents a period of culmination and the tendency is to expand beyond a certain
reasonable limit. This is precisely the difficulty. In the first half of this cycle, growth
was material, so now, starting with the opposition, development is more internal and
even if you do not have all the material goods you need, your attention will have to be
turned towards spiritual or more internal needs, because the solutions are within you;
the opposition represents a point of return to the source.

SUN t OPPOSITION SATURN n

These days can be very irritating or annoying, because circumstances may demand
maximum discipline and responsibility to deal with tedious or routine problems.
There may be a selfish and rigid attitude, but you will also be very aware of the
limitations that other people or your own circumstances impose on you. Tendency to
feel lonely or inability to communicate with others. There may be a conflict between
the need for self-expression and the need for relationships or between internal needs
and obligations. If duty wins, the native may feel inhibition, impatience and failure to
perform; but if obligations are ignored and he does only what pleases him, he will be
in conflict with others and this will prevent him from fully enjoying his activities. So
it is necessary to find a balance. Physical energy tends to drop; a cold could be on the
horizon if you get too tired; you may also need some dental work now. These are days
to take care of yourself from falls and bumps. It is best to try to work alone, because
your feeling of isolation may bother others. Transit of Saturn opposite the Sun is
similar in meaning to transit of the Sun opposite natal Saturn, but is much more
powerful and indicates a period of difficulties.
During the next few weeks, the native is likely to feel frustrated or in some way
limited by those in positions of authority, especially by the boss at work, his boss or

76
employer. Problems arise at work, with censure or blame from superiors, etc. At this
time everything tends to be delayed and to achieve something, one has to make more
effort than usual, so that one feels discouraged, easily tired and sometimes accused of
doing things for which one is not responsible. This transit sometimes produces great
change and even has to do with deaths. In the business sphere, it is not a good time to
trust a partner and it is one of the worst times to start a business or begin a new -
activity. It is also not good for relationships with men; generally, for a woman, it
brings disharmony in her married life: problems and disagreements with her husband,
boyfriend or lover; hence it is also a negative contact for making commitments,
forming partnerships or getting married. Any kind of male relationship that is new and
appears during this period is very likely to have an unhappy ending.

SUN t OPPOSITION URANUS n

Tendency to be nervous these days, with tension or excitement. The disruption and
instability are heightened because some important issues unexpectedly seem to turn
upside down. Sometimes social behavior is unpredictable; decisions are made
impulsively or imprudent acts are committed, all of which damage reputation and
have undesirable consequences. This transit is sometimes very intense and
destabilizing. One should be rather skeptical about proposals received at this time,
even if they may seem very interesting; if one has some new idea that is of a radical
nature for one's own activity, one should be very cautious in its execution, although it
would be best to wait until the transition is over, because the change may not turn out
to be as practical or attractive as one thought. In any strong relationship, one of the
parties may be extremely impatient, with no desire to share or willing to tolerate, so
this feeling can lead to confrontation. You may also do something so different or
surprising from what is usual that it breaks up the relationship or changes it in some
way. Playing for money or engaging in risky speculation can be disastrous. This
aspect can bring about something unexpected in your life, such as a sudden event
happening. If some important matter is at hand, one should not be surprised if it
suddenly fails or fails at the last moment, because the Uranian nature is to produce
disaster at the last moment. The transit of Uranus opposite the natal Sun is similar to
the transit of the Sun opposite natal Uranus; however, it is much longer lasting and
thus indicates an important period in your life. From a personal point of view, you
feel a desire for freedom and independence; you are predisposed to do things in an
unconventional way; to feel dissatisfied with old conditions; extremely restless,
nervous, with a desire to break old patterns, restrictions and defend your individuality.
There may be unexpected events, with your superiors or employers or with the male
sex in general; sudden change in a relationship, due to lack of freedom on your part or
that of the other person, or a sudden change in health, in which case the heart or
circulatory system are involved. This transit may be related to sudden deaths,
separations and conflicts in family life or in professional business activity. The more

77
afflicted the natal Sun is, the worse the results will be. Uranus demands freedom of
action, to release what is hidden or pressured, but with the aspect of opposition it is
likely that the tension is produced by the effort to make disappear the cause that
prevents it from being free. It is the dispute between the value of security and power
and the freedom of self-expression; hence this transition is often so disconcerting and
disruptive. Even if the transit involves a death, it means that the relationship has
served its purpose and is over; but Uranus rarely destroys something that one really
needs. If you move or change your social status, your living conditions may be
disrupted, so much so that you may need to completely readjust your usual way of -
life.

SUN t OPPOSITION NEPTUNE n

With this transit you may have to help other people, but do not allow your
sympathies to lead you to exaggerations, humiliation or drama. Self-deception or
illusions of grandeur can be negative effects of this contact. In general, it is an -
unreliable influence and in all cases, except those in which Neptune's energy is
specifically used, it is best to be wary of people or propositions that appear or are
received, because the possibility of deception or fraud may be the result. Even the
ideas themselves may not be practical or safe, but rather quite confusing. During these
few days of transit, it is best to avoid confrontations with aggressive people; they are -
also not good at intervening in competitions. Also avoid playing the role of victim or
martyr under this influence and if you cannot defend yourself now, leave the
confrontation for another time, until you have reflected better. One must be alert or
aware of the subtle psychological factors at work, to avoid self-deception or being
deceived by others. In the case of women, there may be an unexpected pregnancy.
Transiting Neptune opposite the natal Sun is similar in meaning, although more potent
in its effects. In reality, it is a disintegrating influence, which tends to weaken
willpower, acting on the psychic plane and the emotional nature. It is a very peculiar
energy, which obeys a strange and inexplicable attitude, the motive of which is the
desire to sacrifice oneself out of indulgence to or for others. Physical vitality
decreases and if precautions are not taken (iron deficiency may be one of the elements
that act) there is a strong predisposition to diseases. You should try not to overexert
yourself and not use drugs of any kind, and it is also advisable to follow diets that
include regimens appropriate to your health. During this period, relationships may be
unrealistic, with exaggerated romanticism or illusions. The person you love is
unattainable, incompetent, false, or absorbed in his or her own private world to the
exclusion of you. One must be careful not to deceive oneself or others. There is a
probable relationship with men of rather strange character. We must try to avoid
anything too exotic, romantic, or erotic, and cultivate healthy thoughts or associate
with healthy people whose behavior has normal characteristics. In the case of women,
there may be unique experiences with men or with their husband, father or good
friends. They may suffer from some unusual illness or experience or form some

78
unusual relationship at this time. But whatever it is. The imagination will work a lot
and after the effect of this transit passes, the native will realize that he has been
deceived. It is therefore important to keep one's feet on the ground and act with
honour and integrity.

SUN t OPPOSITION PLUTO n

With this transit, it is likely that you will encounter people who try to dominate or
restrict your actions; a power struggle or conflict over abuse of power or authority
may arise. Conversely, the temptation may arise

79
of wanting to "manage" others through passive resistance, which you should resist if it
is for your own benefit, but if it is for the benefit of all, you can be very successful,
leading with respect and dignity. Impulsive and stubborn attitudes must be avoided, as
well as maintaining a cruel or excessively severe discipline. Confrontations must be
faced directly and frankly, in order to expose the difficulty. It is best to be cautious
with this transit and try to avoid situations where you may be exposed to aggressive or
violent attacks. These are not favorable days to make changes on your own, because
you will encounter a lot of opposition, but if you do it with the help of others it will be
a powerful influence in some sense. Sexual conflicts may arise in marital or romantic
relationships, generally due to demands from one of them. As regards material things,
this transit often has to do with the breakdown of some machine, which now needs to
be repaired thoroughly. Transiting Pluto opposite natal Sun in its meaning to -
transiting Sun opposite natal Pluto, however, as it lasts for almost two years through
its various retrogrades and stationary position, has an enormous effect on the
transformation of the native. The individual at this time may be forced by
circumstances to bring out all his energies for a particular purpose or may be
frustrated in his creative expression by environmental repression, whether social,
artistic, occupational or political. It is an extremely difficult period in relationships
with others, due to the power struggle that this contact generates. There may be a
strong conflict with superiors or people in authority and the native should be very
cautious, because contact is dangerous and harmful.
This transit can mean "separation", so the native may find himself alone,
friendless and in despair. /X times means the loss of a loved one or the end of a cycle
and the beginning of a new one. From a positive point of view, this transit can give
you a lot of ambition and great energy to carry out some plan; however, with
resistance and opposition from others. You are likely to be very successful because
this transit is not unfortunate, however, you must try not to stir up conflicts because
opposition can make you fail. This way. Pluto may force a new beginning.

MOON t CONJUNCTION MOON n
This contact is the cycle called Lunar Revolution, which occurs every month and
announces important changes or new beginnings for the month in question. The chart
drawn up for the Lunar Revolution is calculated for the precise moment in which the
conjunction occurs (at the second of arc) and is used as a prediction tool according to
the planetary influences of this chart. The effects of the Lunar Revolution cover the
entire month and, with this card, it is possible to infer which feelings will predominate
during that period. Greater contact with the female sex is likely on the day of
conjunction. The person may become very sensitive at this time; emotions may be felt
more strongly. Family activity may be increased somewhat.

MOON t CONJUNCTION MERCURY n

This is a very quick transit, like all those of the Moon, which is felt for a couple of
hours or so, so it is not of much significance. It is favorable for communication with
family members, particularly siblings; also for mental activity, because it awakens
curiosity or the need to be informed. This transit sometimes indicates the time to take
a short, well-known trip. It marks a good opportunity to talk about a subject that
interests you a lot, even those that by their nature can provoke a lot of emotion or
discussion. It is possible to receive visits from neighbors in your home or have
friendly contact with coworkers. Practical ideas often appear to improve the efficiency
of everyday tasks. Activity related to household chores, for example, shopping,
cooking, cleaning, etc. Communication with the female sex is easier. The transit of
Mercury conjunct the natal Moon has the same meaning as the transit of the Moon
conjunct natal Mercury, however, it lasts approximately one day, depending on the
speed of Mercury, which is often retrograde or stationary, thus making its effects
longer lasting. This transit is not good for logical and objective reasoning, because the
emotional influence of the Moon prevents what you want to communicate. On the
contrary, it is a good time to express your feelings and emotions. The mind is more
receptive, so it is more predisposed to listen or better understand not only what others
say but also their moods and feelings. It is difficult to be objective and clear during
this transit, because thinking is influenced by feelings, so it is better to postpone any
mental activity when it is necessary to be precise and concrete. There may be a need
to discuss personal matters, perhaps relating to family or one's own home. There is an
inner desire to express one's feelings and attitudes. Visits are often made with the wife
and children.

MOON t CONJUNCTION VENUS n

This transit is characterized by a desire for affection and a tendency to be more
sociable. The person feels happy, serene and joyful, which makes it a good time to
attend a social gathering, for example. It is a favorable transit to carry out some

92
activity where artistic or musical ability is expressed; to decorate or beautify the
home; to celebrate at home. Good time for public relations or any dealings with
women. Contact awakens a kind attitude toward the woman or family, as well as a
caring disposition toward the emotional needs and feelings of others. The act of
purchasing things related to food, clothing, household appliances or interior
decoration is favored by this contact. If the conjunction is afflicted by other planets,
whether natal or transiting, there may be a tendency toward sensuality and
gratification through overeating or drinking, indulging in laziness, or being overly
sentimental. Venus in transit conjunct the natal Moon has the same meaning as the
transit of the Moon in conjunction with natal Venus; however, its effects last longer, -
due to the somewhat slower movement of Venus, with periods of retrograde motion.
In this way, contact produces pleasant experiences through some woman, unless the
natal Moon is very afflicted; it tends to manifest the emotional nature through
complacency, sensuality and physical pleasure, especially when the Moon is related to
the Taurus/Scorpio or Cancer/Capricorn axes. The relationship with the female sex is
fortunate and there may even be some concrete benefit from such a relationship. It is a
good day to ask favors from someone you know, to deal with the public or to meet
with your mother or family.

MOON t CONJUNCTION MARS n

Although Moon transits, by themselves, are not of much importance, they still
need to be paid attention to when there are strong contacts with malefic planets. One
of these cases is with Mars. The danger here is in the emotional reaction, which can
be irritation or anger, so it is best to avoid arguments, criticism or fights with people,
because it is difficult to achieve a balance that can temper any displeasure. Emotional
disorders caused by women, so it is not a suitable time to relate to them. It may also
be that the annoyances come from a salesperson or another aggressive person. There
is a danger of reacting unexpectedly or impulsively in some matter, without having
reflected sufficiently and, therefore, having to regret it later. Emotional disorders can
cause indigestion during this transit and if at the same time there are other planets that
are inharmoniously aspecting the conjunction, some minor accident may occur, such
as cuts, burns, etc. From a positive point of view, it can indicate the beginning of
some strong activity at home. Transiting Mars conjunct natal Moon has the same
meaning as transiting Moon conjunct natal Mars; however, it lasts longer, so its
effects are more drastic, especially if Mars is retrograde or stationary. This transit
excites the emotions and the senses, consequently, it can produce domestic quarrels
and temperamental outbursts. Sometimes fights seem to be completely irrational or -
remind us of anger from other times that was not cleared up. Generally, it indicates
problems with a woman, so self-control is necessary to avoid making mistakes. It is
easier to get angry with people you are familiar with or close friends than with people
you don't know as well. It may also indicate health problems related to diseases that -

93
cause fever, functional problems or minor accidents. Sometimes contact makes you
travel unexpectedly or forces you to travel for family reasons. The wife may be
somewhat aggressive or very active during this period.

MOON t CONJUNCTION JUPITER n

Under this transit, the emotional attitude is more serene and calm, with more
kindness and understanding towards the family. There is always a feeling of well-
being with this aspect. The native feels content, happy and without fear. He is
understanding and does not get excited easily, as he is above vulgar irritations. There
is greater opportunity than usual to be generous and apply spiritual principles in daily
life. These are favorable times for dealing with women in general and, in particular,
with those connected with educational, cultural or simply business matters. He is a
good contact for public relations. There is a tendency to overeat, or there is an interest
in the culinary arts. The transit of Jupiter conjunct the natal Moon has a similar
meaning to the transit of the Moon conjunct natal Jupiter; however, it is longer
lasting, so its effects are important. Transits of Jupiter to the Moon - as to any other
natal planet - occur every 12 years, and thus indicate a good period for improving
family conditions, as well as economic ones. Any tense or difficult financial situation
will now not only be made easier, but there may be extra income, gifts or favors
received with little or no effort on your part. In fact, you will try to make your home
more comfortable and this transit is excellent for investing in a new house or -
purchasing real estate. Often the home itself is the meeting place for developing
educational, cultural or religious activities. Foreigners can visit your home or, on the
contrary, you can live temporarily somewhere else. It is an excellent period to change
residence. This transit is fortunate for dealing with the public, for traveling and for -
relationships with the female sex, because they can help. It is very favorable for the
health and general condition of the wife, mother or any other woman who plays an
important role in your life. Regardless of gender, any woman who enters your life at
this time will surely protect you and help you, even from a financial point of view.
Regarding health, this aspect leads to a tendency to gain weight, as well as to eat
foods rich in fat.

MOON t CONJUNCTION SATURN n

This transit leads to a pessimistic or depressive emotional state, due to family
worries or unpleasant memories. It can indicate domestic responsibilities or problems
at home, usually because you feel that somehow family life is not being carried out as
it should. There may be some temporary financial difficulty or some loss or extra
expense. It also happens that the personal problem arises as a consequence of not
releasing one's emotions, limiting that possibility or that they are so unpleasant that
one does not want to deal with them. You may express coldness or lack of sympathy
towards someone in the family, as a consequence of a negative emotional attitude.

94
This is an unfavorable period for dealing with women or the general public; it is also
not good for making decisions that affect your love life. Transit of Saturn conjunct
natal Moon has the same meaning as transit of Moon conjunct natal Saturn, however,
it is much stronger and also negative, because the native may suffer from emotional
tension for a long time. It is a transit that produces depression and discouragement on
a large scale, due to personal issues; unfavorable for family harmony and causing
problems for the wife or through women, in general. Some women may disappear
from your life at this time and if the directions confirm it, the death of your mother or
wife may occur. For a man, it is a bad time to get married, as his wife may become ill,
exhibit unpleasant behavior, or cause serious concern or trouble. In the case of
women, it will have the same influence but through people of the same sex. It is not a
convenient period for moving. From a health perspective, you may feel exhausted,
have slow digestion or fluid retention. Your teeth may be affected and you should be
careful not to catch a cold or get too tired. Since the Moon represents the need to
protect and strengthen the emotional, contact with Saturn is not easy, as its restrictive,
realistic and strict justice characteristics do not harmonize with it; so the result of this
combination can be strong self-criticism, feelings of guilt, inferiority and self-
destruction. The person usually feels sorry for himself, is moody and feels deeply
despairing. In this case, the best thing to do is not to give so much importance to what
is happening, nor to make fundamental decisions now that have to do with emotional
life. Let this transit pass, until you see more clearly what the lesson it left you is.

MOON t CONJUNCTION URANUS n

Wishes and hopes can be so exalted and strong that they go beyond probability, so
it is best to be realistic in your goals. Tendency to act impulsively and unexpectedly,
with sudden mood swings, so you have to be careful how you react, especially when
someone tries to slow you down or stop you. The calm nature of the Moon does not
harmonize well with that of spasmodic Uranus, therefore, moments of tension and
nervousness may arise from this contact. You may feel impatient to do something
different from your routine work during this transit, but after it passes, you may feel
regretful, given the consequences it may bring or cause. Transit Uranus conjunct natal
Moon is similar in meaning to transit Moon conjunct natal Uranus; however, its
motion is much slower—just over a year—and thus signals a period of change in
family matters as well as those corresponding to the house position of the natal Moon.
For men it is a disturbing influence in regard to family life; the mother or wife may
become ill, especially if the Moon is afflicted in the natal chart. There may be nervous
problems; it is also possible that one of them, or another woman very close to the
household, may die suddenly. In the case of a young woman, she may suddenly
become passionate; in general, in the horoscope of a woman, it is a disturbing -
influence in her private life; women, in general, can cause her problems and
sometimes it happens that an intimate relationship can end unexpectedly. Sudden and
abrupt mood swings are expected for both sexes; impulsiveness and reckless actions

95
are also to be expected. Possible sudden infatuation with the opposite sex, especially
in the case of men. From a positive point of view, this conjunction produces a change
that, although considered unfortunate at first, gives rise to a new, more intense and
active life later on. Strange intuitive experiences or clairvoyant perceptions sometimes
promote an interest in the occult or astrology.

MOON t CONJUNCTION NEPTUNE n

Moments of intuitive imagination; unconscious memories or premonitory dreams.
This transit increases the sensitivity to capture the atmosphere that surrounds the
native. There is a desire to help those in need. You may have some psychic
experience. You should try to avoid distraction when working. Mistakes are made
easily during this time, just as emotional disorders appear with this transit. Contact
with relatives in hospitals, nursing homes or prison. Communication with other
people may also be more difficult now and ideas may not be as clear, so you need to
be careful not to be unrealistic. It is also possible to experience a certain emotional
excitement that fascinates or hypnotizes; for example, the rhythm of music or dancing
awakens a deep attraction of the emotions. The transit of Neptune in conjunction with
the natal Moon, however, can last more than a year if we consider the retrograde and
stationary motion of the planet Neptune; therefore, it signals an important period of
life from an emotional and also spiritual point of view. Sensitivity increases in their
moods, allowing for more understanding and tolerance in their relationship with their
family and in particular with their wife (in the case of men). More delicate,
accommodating and considerate feelings. Domestic relationships tend to be easier and
less effortful. The transit of Neptune is a tool to change our responses; the foundation
of our emotional nature was laid in childhood, so it must now change. The changes
that occur affect the emotional and even psychological life of the person, which are
difficult to detect or manage at first because they are not yet conscious. This is why
there may be a danger of being confused by emotions, that is, letting yourself be
guided by an impulse that you believe to be correct, when your true feelings are
different, which often happens in romantic relationships. Something similar happens
with any idea or belief, which, no matter how important it may be, is obsessive and
fascinating in this era: one thing is what it really means and another is what we
believe it means. If the Moon is afflicted it can be a period of disillusionment,
instability, with hidden experiences and strange losses.

MOON t CONJUNCTION PLUTO n

This transit is characterized by a strong desire to change or improve family or
home conditions. In addition, an intense emotional state is added, because the
tendency is to bring to the surface something rooted in the subconscious mind. There
may be a desire to dominate others or the circumstance that family members try to

96
dominate you. Relationships with the female sex can be positive or negative,
depending on how Pluto is in the birth chart. Jealousy or a feeling of possessiveness
may appear. It is not a good contact for public relations or dealing with the public,
because there is the possibility of having confrontations, desires to repress or restrict
the action of others. The native may participate in some public meeting or gathering,
expressing disagreement or showing approval. The transit of Pluto conjunct the natal
Moon has a similar meaning to the transit of the Moon conjunct natal Pluto; however,
it is of much longer duration - approximately two years (depending on the sign) - and
therefore its effects are so profound that they correspond to fundamental changes in
the individual's life. Emotional upheaval can occur in family life; a profound change
affecting the home and family; the estrangement or death of a close relative. Matters
pertaining to your private life have a profound effect on psychological development.
This transit can indicate a great emotional change, removing internal complexes that
have been hidden in the subconscious since childhood. Repressed energies may now
require urgent psychotherapeutic treatment. There may be a transformation in many
mental and emotional attitudes as the experiences of this period are assimilated. There
is the possibility of acting secretly in some activity. Intense emotional life with a
woman or a woman tries to dominate him in the struggle for power. It may be
necessary to move house or residence, or perhaps to completely renovate the building.
From a health point of view, some digestive problems may appear.

MOON t CONJUNCTION NORTH NODE and OPPOSITION

SOUTH NODE
It is a favorable transit for making spiritual relationships. The personality feels
euphoric. It is favorable for making contact with the public and for achieving greater
harmony at home. There is a tendency towards what is traditional and can even
awaken patriotic feelings, so that the individual feels identified with the cultural
values that predominate at that time. It may also indicate help from a woman. The
transit of the North Node conjunct the natal Moon has the same meaning as the transit
of the Moon conjunct the natal North Node; however, it lasts longer and therefore has
a greater effect on the native regarding his emotional reactions, marking a period of
harmony at home and in the more immediate environment.

MOON t CONJUNCTION SOUTH NODE and OPPOSITION

NORTH NODE n
Unpleasant moments, due to attitudes or opinions that emerge from the family. A
serious, grave and pessimistic emotional attitude, which avoids communicating or
avoiding contact with family or close friends. Contact with the public is unfavorable
and contact with women does not occur or is not favorable. Parents disapprove or do
not give consent. If other malefic transits occur at the same time, this contact may

97
indicate losses. Fear can cause something you are trying to hold on to be lost or
forgotten. Business activity is slow. The transit of the South Node in conjunction with
the natal Moon or that of the North Node in opposition to the natal Moon has the
same meaning as the transit of the Moon in conjunction with the South Node or in
opposition to the natal North Node; however, as it is slower, it produces a longer
period of approximately two weeks, during which there is a lack of emotional
adaptation to the attitudes of close relatives or of the social relations that prevail at
that time.

MOON t CONJUNCTION ASC and OPPOSITION DESC n

The personality, with this transit, is characterized during these hours by
impulsiveness and emotional reaction. It is favorable for family harmony and for
taking an interest in domestic matters. The female sex can be very important now. In
general, there is a harmonious attitude towards other people and you may show a
willingness to make relationships. It is an excellent contact for an intimate
relationship with another person, at a level of deep emotion, although this does not
imply that it will last. Try not to let the subconscious mind influence your judgment.

MOON t CONJUNCTION MC and OPPOSITION IC n

From a positive point of view, the transit of the Moon over the natal MC indicates
the possibility of sensing, so to speak, the mood of the environment or of a group of
people, so that one can resort to a deeper emotional conviction. It is a good contact to
gain popularity or to make any type of presentation in front of a group. Occupation or
professional activity tends to be related to family matters or to women in general; in
business matters it is a contact related to food. agricultural matters, real estate and also
with domestic services. From a negative point of view, contact in meetings makes you
more shy or feel more exposed and vulnerable to others. If this is what happens, it is
best to stay away from public contact and remain ignored.

MOON t CONJUNCTION DESC and OPPOSITION ASC n

With this transit, relationships with other people, especially with the female sex,
are more of an emotional nature, so it will be difficult for you to objectively see the
point of view of others. There is contact with the public, where you will look for
friendliness and help; on the contrary, it is possible that you will be the one who has
to give these things. The transit favors all types of relationships in which the feelings
of others are at stake, when your sensitivity towards others is evident and when
delicacy in dealing with others is necessary. It also marks moments when one does
not have much confidence in oneself because one's sensitivity is focused on the needs
of others, whom one considers more important.

98
MOON t CONJUNCTION IC and OPPOSITION MC n
Moments of greater introversion, when moods or feelings “weigh”. The
subconscious mind is now likely to be stimulated in some way by family issues, by
ancestors or by circumstances experienced in the past and within the home
environment. Subjective and family interests are now more important than objective
and occupational interests; these are better times for reflection and seeking spiritual
understanding than for action.

MOON t SEXTILE SUN n

See “Sun and Moon sextile n.”

MOON t SEXTILE MOON n

Good times to strengthen family ties, to visit relatives or to gather at home. There
is a need for intimacy, for calm and peace; on the contrary, superficial relationships or
circumstantial encounters are boring and do not satisfy deeper emotional needs. The
company of the female sex is likely to be more satisfying. It's a good time to make
some changes inside the house. There is harmony with friends and it is a good
opportunity to listen to them, understand their problems and give good advice.
Opportunities can appear in different forms, so it is best to be prepared to take
advantage of this aspect.

MOON t SEXTILE MERCURY n

It encourages enlightening ideas and insight into the unconscious mind; it makes it
easier to express feelings orally. This transit tends to increase study, reading and
conversation; it is often related to visits from family, friends and coworkers; also,
with making or receiving phone calls and letters. It is a good time for advertising,
public relations or business related to women's or household items, and it is also good
for printing. It is a good time to take care of clothing, diet and personal hygiene, as
well as cleaning and everything related to household chores, including shopping for
food and other household needs. The transit of Mercury sextile to the natal Moon has
the same meaning as the transit of the Moon sextile to natal Mercury; however, it lasts
longer since Mercury is often stationary or retrograde. If Mercury is fast, its effects
will not be as effective.

MOON t SEXTILE VENUS n

This transit generally favors love relationships, because there is harmony between
the parties. Consideration and appreciation of the feelings of others; a joyful and
happy emotional expression. It is a good time to receive friends at home, cook or

99
decorate the house. Positive for dealing with women, as well as for carrying out
social, artistic or sentimental activities that can take place in one's own home. It is a
favorable transit for the purchase of art or luxury objects. The transit of Venus in
sextile to the natal Moon has the same meaning as the transit of the Moon in sextile to
natal Venus; however, it is of longer duration and depends on the motion of Venus, as
it can be stationary, retrograde or direct. In the first case, there is greater sensitivity
and taste for beauty. Arouses affection for others, with a desire to help or protect
friends and understanding of their feelings. Relations with the female sex are very
good these days and if you work with the public, people will notice that you are more
affectionate, considerate and communicative about your emotions, which will make a
favorable impression. It is difficult for one to get angry or resentful with anyone
during this transit, especially with people we know, whether they are close or not. It is
also favorable for buying clothes or wearing them for the first time; for home
decoration; arranging furniture; gardening and for everything that has to do with love,
beauty, art and music. Whatever differences you may have with your relatives, now is
a good time to mend them.

MOON t SEXTILE MARS n

This transit is characterized by its energetic emotional expression. Feelings and
attitudes are expressed directly, frankly. Desire to take the initiative or having strong
feelings of courage and self-confidence. Tendency to argue when challenged to
defend one's own views. Even if you don't agree with others. You are respected. This
contact confers emotional relationships and people who are attracted to it are usually
strong of character or have the courage of their convictions. Good times to play sports
or do physical exercise; you are likely to work up a strong appetite and enjoy tasty,
spicy and hot foods. The transit of Mars sextile natal Moon is similar in meaning to
the transit of Moon sextile natal Mars; however, it lasts longer, especially when Mars
is stationary or retrograde, so its effects are more pronounced in terms of emotional
energy release and physical activity. Although you do not like to argue, you will
defend your opinions with passion and vehemence; you will not be one to turn your
back without facing the situation. There may be a lack of objectivity, due to being too
self-involved or impulsive, which makes him somewhat competitive. Tendency to act
with energy and ambition in matters that concern one; ability to conduct business or
carry out professional matters in contact with the public. However, it is not a
favorable transit for making important decisions, because what is decided now is
subject to the ups and downs of the Moon, to its subjective conditioning, so that what
is convenient today will not be so tomorrow. It is also not a good period to make
decisions that must be objective and impartial. Sexual relations at this time are very
intense.

MOON t SEXTILE JUPITER n

This transit is characterized by moments of being in a good mood, enjoying the

10
0
company of people, feeling optimistic and what is said well. Stimulates conscious or
subconscious memories of happy experiences. In this short period, ideas about
education or religion that can be applied to family life may emerge. It is also possible
that any cultural group activity can be carried out in the native's home. Relations with
the female sex are good and this transit is also favorable for having contact with
lawyers, professors, editors and advertising men. It is very useful for those who have
to persuade others, such as salespeople or those who do public relations. The transit of
Jupiter in sextile to the natal Moon has the same meaning as the transit of the Moon in
sextile to natal Jupiter; however, this contact is of longer duration and consequently is
stronger in its effects. Therefore, there is now a more optimistic and positive attitude
towards life in general. It awakens a feeling of sympathy and understanding towards
the most humble; the behavior is generous and helpful regarding the problems and
difficulties of others. This transit stimulates interest in philosophical, religious or
spiritual issues. From a practical point of view, investments in basic goods, food, as
well as in legal matters, are advantageous. There is an increase in prosperity in
general and in family finances in particular.

MOON t SEXTILE SATURN n

With this transit, the native is emotionally more reserved and controlled, with
greater interest in domestic tasks and family organization. The mind, though calm and
reflective, is not depressed. The conversation tends to be about serious or deep topics.
You may now connect with older people, whether just to chat or for advice; either
way, the contact you make is with someone you respect. The sense of duty or
obligation towards others becomes evident at these moments. It is a good time to deal
with parents or people in authority. Transiting Saturn sextile natal Moon is similar in
meaning to transiting Moon sextile natal Saturn; however, because of Saturn's
slowness, its effects are more marked in organizing professional or domestic affairs. It
is a good transit for dealings with the female sex; you tend to self-control and be
cautious or prudent in private matters. It is possible to take a responsible or defensive
attitude towards someone who is in trouble. Family matters become important,
especially those involving one's own parents. This transit creates the opportunity to
consciously take control over your life, especially in relation to family and loved
ones. It is also true that what is done now has a strong connection with the past life. It
is time to address some difficult relationship that previously could not be achieved
due to a lack of objectivity. It is also possible that, with this transit, you will evaluate
your friends and perhaps give up on some of them, because they no longer meet the
requirements of friendship. You may even discover that certain old friends you never
really liked. The Moon rules the past. Saturn, what one is now capable of doing, so
this contact allows one to build on what has already been experienced and

with somewhat excitable or strange women, but the relationship will not last long.
Interest in technical devices that require additional explanation. Original ideas
regarding businesses related to electronics, agricultural machinery or food products,
domestic services, etc. The transit of Uranus sextile to the natal Moon is similar in
meaning to the transit of the Moon sextile to natal Uranus; however, it is much longer
lasting and indicates a period of unusual activity, perhaps with a marked intuitive
perception of a creative kind. Likewise, emotional satisfaction is sought through
relationships and if it is not achieved, it will be attempted to obtain it through new
ones. During this period, opportunities arise to make changes in domestic and private
life. Moving house, visiting distant relatives, or rearranging household furniture can
provide a greater chance of independence. Businesses dealing in basic necessities or
buying and selling real estate are also often advantageous. Relationships made during
this period will not last, but it is indisputable that they have an impact. They can
awaken something in us unexpectedly, something that was “asleep,” thus producing
new expectations and experiences. Women, particularly at this time, are emotionally
dynamic, with more independence and originality.

MOON t SEXTILE NEPTUNE n

A good contact for all things art, inspiration and matters relating to the occult. It is
favorable for meditation, prayer and the revelation of inner understanding. Sensitivity
to the

other people's moods. If you are a very psychic person, you should be careful with the
energy of negative people, because they can harm you. You want to fantasize or talk
to your friends about your fantasies, and even though this may not seem to have value
to others, it contains an internal meaning for you that is valid and that you should try
to discover. These are also times of feeling sympathy and compassion for those in
need, so there is a predisposition to help personally or through some charity. The
transit of Neptune sextile the Moon is similar in meaning to the transit of the Moon
sextile natal Neptune; however, it is of much longer duration and indicates a sustained
period of inner spiritual and conscious growth. Development of sensitivity and greater
ability to capture the feelings of others, which implies the inconvenience of being
influenced by them. The imagination is more active and creative, so in the case of an
artist this contact helps a lot in his work. Intuitive perceptions are positive and
sometimes there is even telepathic communication with some family members. At

10
2
home, during this time, activities related to meditation, mysticism or religion are
carried out. It is possible to have remarkable psychic experiences with this aspect. If
the horoscope is for a man, this can be a very romantic period, because it indicates the
possibility of idealizing a woman, in accordance with the development of refinement
that is taking place within the mind. The possibility of laziness, daydreaming,
distraction, excessive drinking or drug use must be avoided if the best and greatest
benefit is to be obtained from this contact.

MOON t SEXTILE PLUTO n

This transit allows us to become more aware of our feelings and have intuitive
abilities. In an intimate relationship, the deepest feelings are “brought to the surface”
in such a way that they reveal hidden energies, thus having a therapeutic effect.
Psychic faculties are stimulated. Discussions can be valuable. Now is the time to let
go of old relationships that are no longer considered convenient. Sometimes it means

subjects such as reincarnation or psychology. Astrology, magic, etc. The transit of
Pluto sextile to the natal Moon is similar in meaning to the transit of the Moon sextile

emotional self-regeneration, abandoning self-destructive habits and reforming one's
private life for the better. There may be a reconciliation with parents, relatives or
subordinates. The native now becomes aware of the need to improve his eating habits.
Emotions are very deep and intense but they do not present any difficulty; on the
contrary, they show aspects of your personality that were hidden and this allows you
to be aware of them. The changes, which are emotional and not rational, occur at the
family level, with parents and relatives, affecting personal life as well as the
psychological nature of the individual. Furthermore, the physical changes you make
in your home are the external manifestation of the internal process of change that is
taking place within you, thus adapting the environment around you to your feelings.
And remember, the more we try to control our feelings, the more tense and aggressive
we become.

MOON t SEXTILE NORTH NODE

and TRIGONE SOUTH NODE n
With this transit, the native develops an attitude more in tune with the popular
cultural values of the time. It indicates a greater and positive closeness of family ties,
as well as feeling sympathy for others. It may indicate help from the female sex.
Tendency to form habits. The North Node transit in sextile. or the South Node in trine

10

to the natal Moon, is much more lasting in its effects and of similar meaning to the
transit of the Moon in sextile to the North Node and trine to the South Node.
Remember that the Moon makes this aspect before and after the conjunction with the
North Node twice a month, while the Node, in order to transit in sextile to the natal -
Moon, needs approximately three years after the conjunction with the natal Moon, and
another 15 years approximately must pass for it to make the other sextile (The cycle
of the Mean Node is 19 years).

MOON t SEXTILE SOUTH NODE

and TRIGONE NORTH NODE n
In this case, which is the reverse of the previous one, the emphasis is on the North
Node. It strengthens the bond with home life; more tranquility and harmony between
feelings and discipline. A more critical assessment of popular attitudes that are in
fashion and a greater attachment to traditional cultural values are possible. The transit
of the South Node in sextile to the natal Moon and the transit of the North Node in
trine to the natal Moon have the same meaning as the transit of the Moon in sextile to
the South Node and in trine to the North Node; however, they last longer and
therefore their effects are more significant.

MOON t SEXTILE ASC and TRINE DESC n

Meeting with friends, family members or relatives with whom the native is
emotionally connected; with all of them, mainly with the female sex, he shares some
experience that is important. It is also a time of harmony in every relationship,
whether marital or business partnership. Favorable for commercial and public
relations, due to the good disposition that the native finds towards it. At the same
time, one must pay attention to the problems of others and try to help or protect them
from an emotional point of view. The native receives sympathy or support from
others, mainly from women. This is a contact that fundamentally awakens your
sensitivity and emotionality, rather than rational or conscious thought.

MOON t SEXTILE MC and TRIGONE IC n

A favorable period for relations with the public, whether for commercial, artistic
or any other reason that requires appearing before the public. On the other hand, it is a
good transit for activities related to the real estate business, food trade, agricultural
activities and domestic services. From a psychological point of view, the tendency is
to act or react automatically, according to habits or to intuitively perceive what is
necessary for professional or work matters to develop easily or turn out well.
However, it is not a transit that stimulates ambition.

10
4
MOON t SEXTILE DESC and TRINE ASC n
It has the same meaning as the transit Moon in sextile to the ASC and trine to the
natal DESC, but the emphasis is more on the ASC. In this way, you are warm and
emotional in your contact with others; you do not behave superficially, on the
contrary, you feel a strong need to help and protect. Contact with the female sex is
positive at this time. Some benefit can be received from a woman, regardless of the
sex of the holder of the birth chart. It is also a good transit to have success with the
general public, as you know how to understand their needs or mood.

MOON t SEXTILE IC and TRIGONE MC n

It has the same meaning as the transit of the Moon in sextile to the MC and trine to
the IC, but in this case, the energy is more directed towards the MC. thus giving a
tendency towards greater sensitivity and emotionality to the needs of others. You can
now influence them with your opinion, although this does not mean that you take
advantage of the feelings of others in a negative sense. The lunar influence, however,
here tends more toward introspection and contemplation than toward activity. Desires
for tranquility and seclusion. It is the right time to “recharge the battery” from time to
time and we must pay attention to it if we want to live in harmony.

MOON t SQUARE SUN n

See transit of) Sun square Moon n.

MOON t MOON SQUARE n

A transit that produces emotional tension, bad mood and irritation, so during these
moments you are predisposed to clash with others, particularly with a family member.
Difficulties can appear through whims or through women and their emotional
problems. It is not a good time to work with the public, nor to make a presentation to
them, because of the tensions that can arise. It is an unfavorable time for general
business transactions or for purchasing real estate, food products or household items.
In addition, both eating and drinking should be done with caution, due to the
predisposition to gastric disorders. This transit gives rise to an important astrological
chart called the Lunar Quarter, which lasts approximately seven days.

MOON t SQUARE MERCURY n

Emotions tend to interfere with reason; reasoning is influenced by feelings; mental
concentration is hindered by emotional difficulties. In some cases, subconscious
emotional problems originating in childhood interfere with reason or good judgment.

10
5
Emotional problems often arise when communicating with family members, relatives,
neighbors, and even coworkers. However, you feel a strong need to communicate
your emotions, so if you have a problem with someone, it is not good to “turn your
back” now because negative feelings will make the situation worse. It is a good time
to release tension and readjust your psychological and emotional attitude. Now it is
possible that you may change your mind, in accordance with the prevailing point of
view of others, but be honest and admit it! There is a tendency to miss any
opportunity that may arise, neglect important details or not be efficient. On the other
hand, there may be difficulties with transportation, communication may be
interrupted, or the family's daily routine may be disrupted by unexpected visitors.
Transiting Mercury square to natal Moon has the same meaning as transiting Moon
square to natal Mercury; however, its effects may be more significant, especially
during periods when Mercury moves more slowly, indicating greater difficulty in
communication and daily work. Thought is influenced by feelings, so in all
communication there may be difficulties because ideas are affected by the compulsive
expressions of the unconscious. You may feel tired, indecisive or distracted, rather
moody, with ideas jumping from one topic to another, etc. However, this transit can
be used positively if you express your feelings to another person, thus relieving
tensions; the same happens when trying to regain serenity by doing one task at a time,
doing relaxation exercises or trying to be in harmony with yourself.

MOON t SQUARE VENUS n

There is a predisposition to be fickle or versatile in one's actions; to believe that
one is not loved. It indicates moments of marital unhappiness, due to any of the
attitudes mentioned above, on the part of the spouse. The native may become overly
sentimental because he or she tends to remember emotional ties from the past.
Tendency to be emotionally hypersensitive; one feels affected by any slight or slight. -
Sometimes people act with an attitude of overprotection, almost possessive, with
respect to loved ones. Tendency to not want to work or make efforts, avoiding the
unpleasant facts of life. With this transit, you should avoid excesses in food or drink.
The transit of Venus square the natal Moon is similar in meaning to the transit of the -
Moon square natal Venus; however, it is of longer duration and therefore has a greater
effect on the individual. It leads to a more marked excess in emotional and physical
matters. He tends to be susceptible, have whims, and make romantic or family
relationships difficult. Sometimes it is the cause of an emotional scene or scandal, the
degree of which depends on the lunar configuration. This transit is very common to
awaken jealousy and feelings of possessiveness in one's partner. It generally indicates
conflict with the female sex, whether the birth chart is of a man or a woman.
However, for a couple who gets along and understands each other, this transit can -
provide a true period of ecstasy in love. Regarding health, it generally tends to cause
some glandular malfunction and in women it is one of the most frequent causes of

10
6
menstrual irregularity.

MOON t SQUARE MARS n

It is a very unfavorable transit because it tends to bring emotional instability,
impulsiveness, irritability, fights in the family, problems with women, etc. If the
native is a normally shy person, this transit can be somewhat dangerous; he may react
badly or be defensive of someone who crosses his path, because he thinks he is being
attacked, when in reality it is his susceptibility and insecurity that cause his conflict.
On the other hand, if the native is a self-confident person, this contact predisposes him
to be impatient, hasty and aggressive. Emotional disorders and anger can cause
indigestion or stomach disorders. Accidents with tools, machines and sharp objects
are a possibility, as are burns in the home. Fortunately, it is a transit that lasts a short
time, whereas the opposite case - that is, the transit of Mars square to the natal Moon -
although similar in its effects to the transit of the Moon square to natal Mars, is drastic
in its effects and goes beyond being a passing irritation. This contact activates
impulsiveness, makes him tense and his moods fluctuate, so it is better to avoid fights,
clashes with a woman or impatience within the family. Don't try to do anything
"childish", on the contrary, you have to be aware of what you are doing at this time.
With this transit, there is a greater predisposition to accidents than in the previous one,
especially at home, because this is where people act more unconsciously or without
foresight. Carelessness can have unpleasant repercussions.

MOON t SQUARE JUPITER n

An aspect of good humor but one that tends to produce excesses: promises that are
not kept, unrealistic optimism and planning something that is later frustrated by being
too optimistic but impractical. Like the square of the Moon to Venus, this transit is
not negative at all, but rather a benefic one. The native is benevolent and generous
towards those around him; from an emotional point of view he feels good, optimistic
and with faith. It is advisable to take care here of physical and emotional excesses,
reducing needs to what is truly essential. On an intellectual level, it can predispose
one to a conceited, arrogant or presumptuous attitude. especially when it comes to
religious or philosophical issues, therefore, it causes a reaction in others. Transiting
Jupiter square natal Moon is similar in meaning to transiting Moon square natal
Jupiter; however, it lasts longer and its effects are more pronounced, resulting in
serious misunderstandings and overindulgence. It may present itself by fostering
unrealistic hopes in business matters; difficulties in financial matters, especially if it
involves speculation, gambling on the stock market, etc. Investments do not give the
result one expects. Home projects turn out to be more expensive than anticipated. On
an emotional level, this transit can create tension between your desire to be free and
your desire to be close to someone. Too much sentiment tends to interfere with sound
practical reasoning. Domestic matters such as children's education, food, clothing,
visiting relatives, etc., may require extra expenses and greater efforts at this time.

10
7
MOON t SQUARE SATURN n
During this transit, difficulties may arise in relationships with parents or with older
people of both sexes. These are moments of emotional depression, sadness or feeling
alone, but giving the impression of being more than what one really is; that is,
emotionality prevents one from seeing objectively. However, it can be excellent for
reflection and meditation, once the tendency toward discouragement and depression is
overcome. It can also be a favorable aspect for work, if it is done with order and
discipline. Difficulties arise in emotional relationships with other people, either
because of their negative state or because they feel indifference or insensitivity from
others. Disagreements, difficulties and separations often occur, especially with the
female sex. Business delays and problems in everyday matters force us to face
practical and concrete reality. Transit Saturn square the natal Moon is similar in
meaning, but as its duration is much slower, its harmful effects are more permanent.
Every fourteen and a half years. Saturn makes a square to the natal Moon and these
are periods of depression, deprivation and low vitality. You need to take care of your
physical condition during these times; you may also be worried about the health or
personal matters of a woman in the family, such as your mother or wife, or you may
also have a problem with another woman. There is something at home or in one's
private life that is causing deep anxiety and unhappiness. Tendency to be distressed
and melancholic, which can lead to being pessimistic and fearful, producing
disappointment and even regret. Disposition to be selfish, reserved, cynical, unless
this is repressed. Family and professional responsibilities may conflict, so you may be
forced to neglect some of them. The house now looks poor, dirty and deficient, but
you have insufficient time and energy to devote to it, and perhaps not enough money
to make repairs. A man should not marry with this aspect or enter into relationships
with a woman, because the end result can be a heavy burden, unhappiness or a
restrictive life. It is also negative for contact with the public because it produces
unpopularity and even misfortune, depending on the aspects of the natal sign. The
woman who enters the native's life at this time is contacted to cause worry,
disappointment or unhappiness to the native.

MOON t SQUARE URANUS n

There is a tendency toward eccentricity or erratic behavior, so you may act
completely irresponsibly unless there are other favorable aspects at the same time.
Moments of emotional instability or reacting impulsively and negatively to something
you find out about. He becomes impatient with things that restrict his freedom of
action or his duties and obligations. Emotional restlessness and mood swings affect
family or friends. An abrupt separation from friends, family or the female sex.
Unexpected domestic problems may arise: appliances, devices or electrical
installations may break down. It's not a good time to invite friends over. However,

10
8
there may be a lot of mental vivacity, which is beneficial during this period of lunar
transit. The transit of Uranus square to the natal Moon is of similar significance to the
transit of the Moon square to natal Uranus; however, given its longer duration (it
occurs approximately every 42 years) it is only possible to experience this contact
twice in a lifetime, thus marking a period of great emotional and family changes. It
may disrupt domestic life; it generally produces ill health in the case of the mother or
the wife or any other woman who is connected with his life. Any of them can die
unexpectedly, if the addresses confirm it. In a deteriorating marriage, it can lead to a -
sudden breakup and the search for another relationship. There is also a possibility that
an accident may occur at home. Men should be careful with this transit, because their
attitudes towards women can be very unstable, resulting in relationships that produce
disorders and problems. Under this aspect, sometimes there are several love affairs or
the wife does unusual things. It always brings contact with a woman who has a strong
influence on the native; it occurs suddenly and perhaps in a situation of disorder. It is
an unfavorable transit for dealing with the public. Sometimes it indicates some type of
nervous illness, indicated by the position of the Moon by sign and the planets that
afflict it. It's not good for moving either. If you need to buy a house, be careful,
because it may not last for different reasons.

MOON t SQUARE NEPTUNE n

This transit predisposes to distraction, lack of mental clarity or having small traps
or deceptions. It creates false expectations or illusions, which means that these are not
convenient times to make decisions or undertake something that requires further
elaboration. The influence of the subconscious is negative now and old habits,
feelings and prejudices can lead to a wrong conclusion or disappointment. A certain
predisposition to deceive or to be deceived can manifest itself in money matters and if
the native has a predisposition to alcohol or drugs, this contact indicates a moment of
difficulty in this regard. There may be some negative experience related to religious
or spiritual practices. Abandoning some responsibility at home can lead to difficulties.
There are often emotional problems involving women. From a health perspective, it
may cause digestive problems, poisoning, intestinal gas or simply poor digestion due
to emotional disorders. Regarding domestic activity: problems with water, gas or any
other fuel. Transiting Neptune square natal Moon is similar in meaning to transiting
Moon square natal Neptune; however, it is of greater significance because of
Neptune's slowness, the effects of which can last for more than a year, thus indicating
a prolonged period of emotional tension and lack of mental clarity. One's feelings
tend to be hypersensitive, impressionable and irritable. You should try to avoid people
who are under the influence of strong and negative emotions because at this time you
are subject to the feelings of others. A woman with a low moral influence is likely to
come into contact with you at this time, or she may, without any practical sense, try to
influence your personal affairs with a wrong point of view. Sometimes the wife or

10
9
mother may be affected in a peculiar way, having strange experiences through them.
This contact stimulates the psychic part, so the phenomena of telepathy, clairvoyance,
trance, etc., can cause confusion or be misleading. It is possible to begin a love
relationship that seems fascinating and yet it turns out to be a disappointment,
something unreal, without hope. You should avoid taking any type of drug unless it is
absolutely necessary and prescribed by a doctor. Serious poisoning and chronic
digestive problems may be another possibility. This transit occurs only once in a
lifetime.

MOON t SQUARE PLUTO n

This transit allows one to delve into one's own emotions; self-analysis can now be
very effective, if one is honest. The native, through feelings or emotions, may try to
force another person to do something they do not want to do. A family conflict may
arise as a result of wanting to dominate a situation from an emotional point of view.
The psychological dominance that a woman exerts is a danger. There may be
infidelity or friction in the marriage, if other elements of the chart indicate this.
Sudden impulses that affect your feelings are a product of your emotional state.
Transiting Pluto square natal Moon is similar in meaning to transiting Moon square
natal Pluto; however, because Pluto moves so slowly, its effects are much longer
lasting and indicate a prolonged period of emotional and domestic transformation.
This transit occurs only once in a lifetime, so it is related to important experiences in
emotional and family life. Deep psychological changes that must be understood,
instead of trying to hide them or ignore them. Some deep-rooted emotional problem
may surface at this time. This transit often coincides with the death of a family
member. There may be great tension between the native and his parents or those with
whom he is closely connected. You may be forced to move house or make major
changes to your current home. All this is part of the change within your psyche as
well, because external changes are a reflection of internal ones. In general, there is a
need to “eliminate” attitudes, conditioning and emotional habits that are already
outdated; in this way, the subconscious mind is regenerated. For both sexes, a woman
can be a powerful influence in their lives at this time.

MOON t SQUARE NORTH NODE

and SOUTH NODE n
This transit may indicate some family conflict, especially with parents, although it
is not of much importance given the rapid movement of the Moon. It is a time when
the native must give more than receive. The emotional attitude is not harmonious; in
man it seems to make him less delicate. Bad relationship with mother, disputes with
her. Nor is it a good contact for dealing with the public or for any type of commercial
activity involving the public. The transit of the North or South Node square to the -

11
0
natal Moon is similar in meaning, although as it is slower, its effects are also longer
lasting. It may mean marriage or union with a woman who has a considerable age
difference or different social position; the marriage may be delayed or even prevented
if other transits or progressions of malefic planets confirm it. This transit can cause -
inhibition in feelings; however, it is better to find some way to escape or release them.

MOON t SQUARE ASC and SQUARE DESC n

This transit indicates an emotional conflict! between one's manifestation of
oneself and one's relationship with others, especially with the female sex or with the
general public. Your mood may fluctuate more rapidly, so don't put too much
emphasis on emotional reactions at this time. This is a contact that tends to be more
subjective at this time, so you will see around you what you want to see and will not
act objectively; therefore, it is not a good time to make any important decisions, as
this requires thoughtful consideration.

MOON t MC SQUARE and IC SQUARE n

With this transit there may be an emotional conflict between your professional or
work responsibilities and your domestic or family needs. You may be dissatisfied
with what you do, or feel stressed by family problems. You will be forced to consider
what is most important or what takes priority under the circumstances. It is not a good
time for dealing with superiors and it is unfavorable for deciding to buy a house or
any other real estate. However, emotions are stronger than usual with this contact and
in any situation, the reaction will be of this type.

MOON t SQUARE DESC and SQUARE ASC n

See Moon t square ASC and square DESC n.

MOON t IC SQUARE and MC SQUARE n

See Moon t square MC and square IC n.

MOON t TRINE SUN n

See Sun l trine Moon n.

MOON t TRIGONE MOON n

This is a quick contact, like all Moon transits, which tends towards peace, quiet
and tranquility; to enjoying the home in the company of family and friends more than
the desire to make changes or undertake things. Need for family affection, to be in the

11
1
company of children or to have contact with parents, as the case may be. It is a
favorable time for family gatherings or eating together. Relationships with the female
sex are generally very good at this time. The feeling of well-being and harmony with
oneself also allows the native to provide emotional help and protection to others.
Commercial activities related to food, agricultural products, real estate and even
domestic services are now favored.

MOON t TRINE MERCURY n

Feelings are now easily expressed with this transit. There will be no psychological
interference or tensions like those that commonly occur when talking about one's own
feelings. There is a balance between reason and feelings; it is easier to express what
you truly feel for the person you love. This is a good time to visit family, friends and -
neighbors; write letters or discuss business related to clothing, food, domestic services
or matters that have to do with the home. Communication with the female sex is more
harmonious. Favorable period for public relations or propaganda. The transit of
Mercury in trine to the natal Moon is similar in meaning to the transit of the Moon in
trine to natal Mercury; however, its effects are somewhat more marked, due to the
speed of Mercury's movement, which is somewhat slower, especially when it is
stationary or retrograde. In this case, it makes him more receptive towards others, for
example, he knows how to listen instead of taking the initiative in a conversation,
which provokes a favorable reaction in others, when they realize his interest and
sympathy. Reading newspapers, listening to the radio or watching television can now
provide you with some interesting information that you are very interested in. Plans to
make changes at home are made easier and short trips will result in pleasant company.
If you feel tired or grumpy, this is a good time to take a break from your usual tasks,
take things easy and relax.

MOON t TRINE VENUS n

It is an excellent transit for the manifestation of pleasant feelings and for being
emotionally happy. Favorable for romantic and marital relationships or for being
among friends. However, it is too fast for a relationship started during this transit to
last, unless other aspects indicate otherwise. It is a good time to get involved with a
woman of good standing; in addition, there is popularity among women. In the case of
women, this aspect has especially to do with motherhood, so in some way this will be
shown through their feelings. It is a favorable period for businesses related to food or
other products and services for the home, as well as everything that tends to improve
and beautify it. The transit of Venus trine to the natal Moon is similar in meaning to
the transit of the Moon trine to natal Venus; however, it lasts longer and varies
according to the speed of Venus' movement, and may be retrograde or stationary. In
this case, it indicates a more marked period of a happy emotional attitude and
financial benefits. It is a good transit for all public or social activities, but even better

11
2
for enjoying the tranquility of home and creating moments of relaxation, fun or
entertainment. In the business field, it helps to sell not because of the product itself,
but because you personally please people more than usual.

MOON t TRINE MARS n

Increase in energy, vitality and courage. Under this transit there is more harmony,
camaraderie and excitement, especially in sports or in any group of people in which
there may be conflicting opinions. The person behaves uprightly and honestly when
expressing his feelings; he speaks frankly and forcefully, but without offending.
Emotional shyness can be overcome during this transit. It is a good time to play sports
or do physical work that has to do with moving, organizing things around the house,
etc. Fortunately, with this aspect there is not that tendency toward impulsive action
that characterizes the other aspects between these two planets. The transit of Mars in
trine to the natal Moon is similar in meaning to the transit of the Moon in trine to natal
Mars; however, the effects are stronger and longer lasting because the movement of
the planet Mars is slower, especially if it is stationary or retrograde. In this case it
indicates a period of constructive activity in domestic matters and is favorable for
carrying out any new project you have in mind, although in reality there is little
consistency in completing it. The relationship with others is more intense and often
indicates a strong connection with the opposite sex, so it is difficult for your reaction
to be neutral towards someone you meet. It is a time when one lives with greater
emotional intensity than usual but in a controlled manner. You can love or hate
intensely but you tolerate the ideas of others and although this transit does not make
you feel aggressive, it does not allow you to be "trampled on" either, so you know
how to set limits with a positive and fighting spirit.

MOON t TRINE JUPITER n

Favorable for making contact with important people in general or with your
superiors; however, the result may be a lot of talk and little action. In family
relationships there is kindness, generosity and consideration; with friends, warmth and
affection. This transit gives a feeling of well-being. joy and convinces him that by
helping others, he is helping himself. It is a good contact to receive the favor of
women, it is even good to visit relatives in places of confinement, such as hospitals
and nursing homes. Educational, cultural and religious matters on the one hand and
those having to do with food, real estate, advertising and domestic services on the
other, are favored by this contact. The transit of Jupiter trine to the natal Moon has a
similar meaning to the transit of the Moon trine to natal Jupiter; however, it lasts
longer, so its effects are more important. This trine to Jupiter occurs twice in 12 years,
which is the cycle of this planet around the Sun. It is an excellent period for rest,
peace and contentment; a time when family relationships are problem-free and any
differences that arise are reconciled in harmony. Financial matters are ending

11
3
satisfactorily and investments are favorable. Not only is it a time of good living
conditions for the family, but there is also an interest in the well-being of those around
them, so they try to protect them. Generally, people who are now looking for it for
business reasons or for personal reasons can be beneficial. It is ideal for family -
vacations or for hosting people who come from far away places. Good period for
pregnancy or caring for children.

MOON t TRINE SATURN n

From a psychological point of view, there is control over emotions; feelings are
usually realistic and deep. The emotional response at this time is one of caution, and a
rather reserved attitude. This contact gives patience and resistance to face tensions.
On another note, it is a good time to put things in order at home and there is a
tendency to do something practical, both at work and in domestic matters. It is
favorable for dealing with older people, especially if they are female; they can suggest
a practical solution to your problem or can be an emotional help. Anything that has to
do with the past makes him feel more secure. Family finances, career or occupation
finances are well controlled, trying to save money or avoid unnecessary expenses.
Transit Saturn trine natal Moon is similar in meaning to transit Moon trine natal
Saturn. However, it lasts much longer, since it occurs twice in the cycle of its
revolution, which is 29 years. It indicates a prolonged period in which emotions tend
to stabilize, as well as family matters and personal finances. It is favorable for making
long-term investments or home improvements. A time of internal balance, when your
emotional response is in harmony with the challenges or demands of the external
world, perhaps the result of experiences lived in the past. A realistic and practical
attitude towards life, as well as a more reflective and calm, although less active, state
of mind. It is a good time to take care of real estate business, repairing various things
around the home. It is an excellent transit for planning the future in any activity, due
to the ability it gives to be objective and realistic, without exaggerated optimism.

MOON t TRINE URANUS n

Good transit for creative work, although you may feel somewhat impulsive,
excited, with a desire to do something unconventional or that deviates from the daily
routine. There may be a sudden insight from the subconscious mind that enables you
to make some constructive change in your home or personal life. Emotional
satisfaction through friends, groups or organizations, as well as in dealings with the
public. Original or intuitively inspired ideas for business ventures emerge: this is a
time when you are interested in making a change or adopting a new policy. However,
in addition to being a brief transit, it does not have enough strength to continue the
effort, so the result may be temporary. Sometimes, the purchase of electrical
appliances or machines for the home or business is done now. The transit of Uranus
trine to the natal Moon has the same meaning as the transit of the Moon trine to natal

11
4
Uranus; however, it is of much longer duration, approximately a year or more
between the retrograde and its stationary period, so it marks a pronounced period
when unexpected, out-of-the-ordinary events occur, both in the emotional attitude and
in the circumstances surrounding the home. Tendency to travel and have interesting
experiences, broadening the mental and spiritual horizon. This usually occurs with the
help of a woman. A woman plays an important role in the life of a native, as she
provides support. Influence is selfless and can be humanitarian. Sometimes it acts in
hidden ways, but it is always to elevate, ennoble and expand the mind. The woman
with this transit becomes interested in club life or in altruistic or humanitarian
organizations. Opportunity to experience emotions in a new relationship, which you
have never felt before. Strong changes in emotional life, as well as in relation to the
home. It is the best time to get rid of certain harmful habits, as well as unconscious
attitudes, routine matters, etc., because it will be more difficult later. In approximately
7 more years, Uranus reaches square or opposition to the Moon, so these contacts can
be less drastic and more creative, if the changes were made before.

11
5
Natal Moon has the same meaning as the transit Moon in opposition to natal Pluto,
but its effects are much longer lasting, due to the slow movement of Pluto, which will
manifest a situation of regeneration of old lived conditions, whether emotional as well
as domestic or financial. Subconscious tendencies originating from unpleasant past -
experiences may emerge at this time, producing emotional disturbances in family life.
There may be a serious conflict with parents. There is a strong desire to dominate
another person with emotions, hence the confrontations. In a romantic relationship,
jealousy, the threat of abandonment and guilt are pressures that in the long run
produce fatal consequences for the couple. Women tend to use subtle tactics, to want
to dominate the situation or to exert a more powerful influence on their environment.
In extreme cases, a woman one knows well is driven to her own destruction, or a close
relative may move away, or the family structure may be altered in some other way.

MERCURY t CONJUNCTION MERCURY n

Mercury transits are not very important unless this planet is retrograde or
stationary in some important place in the chart; in this case, its effects are very
marked and when it joins the influence of the transits of other planets, its action is
intensified. The contact of transiting Mercury with natal Mercury stimulates the mind
and makes it very perceptive. It is favorable for all types of intellectual activity; for
the beginning of an intellectual project; for studying, writing, giving lectures or
teaching. The ability to reason improves and it is a good time to make a rational
analysis. It is also a good time for communication with other people, because it allows
you to communicate objectively. Intellectual activity among siblings, with friends or
with coworkers. You receive more mail or phone calls than usual. Short-distance
travel, unless you routinely travel to distant locations, as is the case for many
businessmen. There may be an exam, a test, a letter or a piece of news that is pending
and is now presented with a satisfactory result, if there are no other aspects in the
birth chart that indicate otherwise. Some people often have ideas on this day that lead
to improvement or efficiency at work.

MERCURY t CONJUNCTION VENUS n

This transit is characterized by communication, whether for social, sentimental or
work reasons. This contact makes your way of speaking or writing more pleasant for
others. It is a good time to receive good news or a letter from a friend, usually of the
opposite sex, with whom you have a strong relationship. The mental attitude is
cheerful and friendly. This is a mental transit combined with emotional feeling, so the
best expression of this contact is of an artistic nature, which is why the native tends to
experience, in some way, the appreciation of beauty. It is an excellent transit for
publicity and public relations. A day to have visitors or company, or the desire to call
and visit other people to talk. The book you read or the movie you watch is most
likely about a love story that will make you feel sentimental or emotional. Transit
Venus conjunct natal Mercury has the same meaning as transit Mercury conjunct natal
Venus. However, it can last longer, depending on whether Venus is retrograde,

12
9
stationary, or direct. This transit stimulates the creative spirit. There is an interest in
art or music; you may want to write poetry or some other literary piece, even if you do
not have much talent for it, or you may want to beautify your workplace. In favorable
aspect it is good for the expression of artistic faculties; for social fun and for having
personal happiness and joy. It is a good day for making visits, short trips or
expressing affection to others, and if you want to make a good impression on other
people, this is the most appropriate time. People with this contact express more wit,
friendliness and humor than usual; they also display a charming way of speaking that
enhances their personal attractiveness. There may also be greater interest in personal
grooming and clothing.

MERCURY t CONJUNCTION MARS n

This contact confers great mental strength and intellectual energy. The
conversation tends to be sharp, direct, pragmatic. Predisposition to intellectual -
discussion, debate and to be more aggressive when expressing ideas or defending
opinions. If this conjunction simultaneously receives aspects of tension from other
planets, it can be a time of serious problems due to irritability. the sarcasm,
nervousness and impulsive decisions that it can cause. Tendency to identify the ego
with everything one thinks, says or believes. This creates conflict and it is a matter of
reflecting before deciding to fight, whether it is really worth defending your position.
What are the ideas that I am really defending? This is what one can ask and, once
found out, it is possible that the manifestation of this energy will not be so negative.
Oneself or a close relative may suffer an accident, fever, or surgery. We must avoid
impatience, haste, impulsiveness and use that sharp, satirical or virile energy in a
constructive way. Infections, inflammations or injuries are also a possibility. Ways to
manifest this energy: doing physical exercises, having sex or working actively more
than usual. You have to be careful when crossing the streets. Transit Mars conjunct
natal Mercury has the same meaning as transit Mercury conjunct natal Mars;
however. Mars moves more slowly and this contact occurs approximately every two
years, so it indicates a period in which one must be careful not to make impulsive -
decisions and not to become mentally excited. It is worse in terms of the tendency
towards irritability and susceptibility. Be careful not to be rash in words or actions,
and be practical in all things. The same thing happens when driving a car, you have to
be careful with the speed, because you are exposed to committing reckless acts or
taking risks, and this can cause accidents. On the other hand, if this energy is released
in some kind of work that you need to do, trying to convince someone of a point of
view or trying to sell something, it is very effective, because the enthusiasm, vigor
and strength of conviction displayed will make a good impression on others.

130
MERCURY t CONJUNCTION JUPITER n
This is an extremely useful influence for long-term planning and expansion in
work. Thinking can be expanded with good judgment, self-confidence and an
optimistic outlook. This aspect really broadens your understanding of anything you
are interested in. It favors all types of commercial activity or any way of doing
business. It is also a good period to get admission to a college or university. It is a
favorable time to sign contracts and undertake both short and long trips, whether for
work or health reasons or, in some special cases, for educational or religious reasons.
But if the conjunction is badly aspected by other planets, Jupiter's ability to see
beyond the details may cause him to overlook details and, carried away by his
enthusiasm, to make mistakes in organization and efficiency, and to incur
superficiality and botch-work. Another flaw of this position is being overconfident in
your new ideas or making the mistake of believing that you are not wrong in what you
are planning. The transit of Jupiter conjunct natal Mercury is similar in meaning to the
transit of Mercury conjunct natal Jupiter; however, Jupiter, due to its slower motion,
makes this conjunction every 12 years, while Mercury makes it once a year, so the
effects of Jupiter are more noticeable, characterized by an intensification of religious,
philosophical and educational interests. This contact leads to more successful
achievements, because the Jupiterian breadth of vision is combined with the acute
Mercurial mental perception; the knowledge of the general with the knowledge of the
specific and particular. It is an excellent transit to make important decisions; buy or
sell and close a deal. There may be contacts with a doctor, lawyer, teacher or other
professional who can in some way expand understanding and enrich thinking with
new ideas. It is good to study, consult authorities, contribute ideas to a system, listen
to the advice or counsel of others; be more tolerant and more willing to understand as
well as less critical or less incredulous. Any legal matter will now have a favorable
and even fortunate outcome for the native. And communication with others and travel
in particular will be positive. The only warning, as with all Jupiter contacts, is not to
overdo it or "not to step further than your leg can go." Apart from this, he is an
excellent contact.

MERCURY t CONJUNCTION SATURN n

From a positive point of view, it is a good contact for planning, writing or
methodically organizing any work in detail; for analyzing the professional or work
situation objectively and seeing if one acts efficiently. Critical thinking is very acute,
so one can quickly see one's own flaws, as well as other people's arguments. But it
must be kept in mind that this should serve to correct these defects and not to weaken
one's own confidence or that of others. From a negative point of view, it can be a
depressive influence and, physically, it predisposes to nervous problems, neuralgia
and rheumatism. Difficulties that may already exist with siblings or relatives are -

13
1
exacerbated. You are likely to feel discouraged, unhappy, mentally out of tune,
"heavy" and somewhat pessimistic. This contact can make communication difficult,
cause bad news, or result in not receiving the letter or phone call you were expecting.
There is probably serious news at this point. Communication with older people. It is a
favorable transit for those who are mathematicians, scientists, engineers or those
dedicated to research. Transiting Saturn conjunct natal Mercury is similar in meaning
to transiting Mercury conjunct natal Saturn; but Saturn's motion is very slow - this
aspect happens once every 29 years - so its effects are much more powerful and long-
lasting. This transit can be very depressing and disturbing to the mentality; it tends to
pessimism, disbelief and skepticism, and mental anguish. Communication with others,
while more meaningful, becomes more difficult. From a mental point of view, this
transit means narrowness and slowness in ideas, although on the other hand there is
more discipline and concentration; hence it is good for increasing efficiency at work,
the habit of studying or improving scientific methodology. There may be a lot of
heavy work and serious responsibilities that burden the mind and sap vitality. A
predisposition to depressive thoughts undermines health; there are problems that come
from the nervous system and hearing difficulties are common. This state favors
missing out on seemingly illusory or very risky opportunities. However, it can be a
very good time to plan carefully and in detail, putting into practice ideas that will have
important consequences over time. This is not really the time to look for immediate
results, but rather to lay the foundations, but what is learned or developed now can be
very fruitful later.

MERCURY t CONJUNCTION URANUS n

Communication with others becomes interesting and even exciting. The
conversation may be with someone you haven't seen for a long time or who you
couldn't find; if you meet a person of great interest, the relationship will not be stable
or long-lasting. Original ideas and sudden intuitive insights often appear. There is the
ability to concentrate on mental work that requires a lot of attention to detail. A day
when one is rather reserved, not because one is unsociable but because one does not
like to talk too much, unless it is important. Short trips can put you in a position that is
unusual for you. It is also possible to live apart from your family for some time. A
different day can be something new and stimulating, but it forces a nervous tension
that excites and disturbs tranquility. It is also a sign of unexpected news that
sometimes forces a quick decision. Now work may be more interesting or stimulating,
from an intellectual point of view. It is a very favorable transit for those who work in
the media, but if the conjunction receives inharmonious aspects from other planets, it
may indicate a lack of common sense and practicality. Transiting Uranus conjunct
natal Mercury is similar in meaning to transiting Mercury conjunct natal Uranus;
however, due to the much slower passage of Uranus, it indicates a long period of
intuitive, creative, and intellectual insight. This transit occurs only once in a lifetime,

132
giving the opportunity to develop the intellect in scientific matters or those related to
occult disciplines, such as electronics, space travel, physics, astrology, reincarnation,
etc. New ideas or new interests arise in life. And changes occur in the way of thinking
that have never happened before. Some people are interested in using computers or
other technological innovations. to speed up production and improve their
methodologies. Favorable transit for writers, lecturers, teachers, inventors, journalists
and scientific researchers. It is a period when it is necessary to remain calm and not be
too rigid in thinking because tensions, anxieties and nerves are a threat to health.
Another problem is the tendency to become distracted and make decisions
impulsively. In fact, it is a time to learn and draw new conclusions, because
understanding is changing. It is better not to resist new ideas that arise at that time and
make the necessary changes. Trips are also often sudden for some urgent reason. If
the conjunction is affected by other planets either in transit or in the natal chart, there
may be a predisposition to accidents.

MERCURY t CONJUNCTION NEPTUNE n

The mind tends to be influenced by imagination, exaggeration or a lack of a
realistic approach. You may feel isolated or different in a harsh, unpleasant, fast-
moving environment. This transit, although mild, can affect your health if your
activity pace is intense. The concrete mind becomes insecure, confused, lacking
clarity and dishonest attitudes or the signing of important papers must be avoided
because there may be a misinterpretation or false interpretation. It is necessary to be
sufficiently clear in all personal communication, because others may misunderstand
what you say or write, or on the contrary, reach a wrong conclusion about what you
were told. However, from a positive point of view, it is a favorable transit to visualize
beyond the concrete and effective, hence artists, scientists and designers are favored.
Tendency to read or study mysterious subjects, occult philosophy, parapsychology,
etc. You may want to sleep more than usual, have very vivid dreams, or want to stop
your activity momentarily to rest. Transiting Neptune conjunct natal Mercury has the
same meaning as transiting Mercury conjunct natal Neptune; however, because it is of
such a long duration—about a year or more—its effects are much more pronounced. It
is a period in which conscious reasoning can be distorted by subconscious biases or
predispositions. A time when the native becomes more susceptible; the mind can be
disorganized to the point of becoming chaotic, depending on the state of Mercury in
the birth chart. This contact is not good for making important decisions that determine
a change in the direction of life. It is also not good for signing contracts or conducting
business transactions, because mistakes may be made or all the information may not
be complete. Another danger is deception, which can be very subtle. Psychic abilities,
interest in the study of mysticism, parapsychology, or spiritual forms of healing may
appear. Increases susceptibility to drugs and alcohol. If indicated by the birth chart,
some disease that is difficult to diagnose may appear. A trip is possible at this time,

13
3
which will make you more withdrawn, lonely or put you in a disadvantageous
position.

MERCURY t CONJUNCTION PLUTO n

With this transit, the native may find out something very reserved or that was
hidden. It is a time of intense mental activity; in some matter that worries you, your
desire is to get to the bottom of the matter and not stay “halfway.” Generally, in
conversation or in any study that is undertaken, one goes into depth, discarding what
is not essential. It is a good time to do any kind of research, to investigate a mystery
or to carry out experiments that have to do with extrasensory perception. It may
indicate greater mental strength, with which you will be able to influence others and
try to persuade them. It is important to understand that this energy should not be
abused because it can hurt others greatly or one can fall victim to it through mental
coercion. There may be ideas, decisions or communications regarding the finances of
a company or the estate of a deceased person or related to taxes or insurance. The
transit of Pluto conjunct natal Mercury has the same meaning as the transit of
Mercury conjunct natal Pluto; however, its duration is significant, a year or a little
more, so it occurs only once in a lifetime. This transit of Pluto conjunct natal Mercury
can bring a time of loneliness and isolation, but also a tremendous understanding
about life in general that you never had before. A search within oneself for the
solution of some problem or to follow a direction in life or to have some answer to an
unfathomable mystery. What has been said about the tendency to influence others is
stronger now, and it is possible to provoke a great antagonism that will eventually
overcome it, because the Plutonian force obeys the lack of selfish motives. One of the
dangers of this transit is the tendency to obsessive states or to act under the pressure
of fixed and intransigent ideas. Greater flexibility in ideas improves health and can
have an impact on improving working conditions or methodologies. There may be
unpleasant news about siblings, neighbors or coworkers.

MERCURY t CONJUNCTION NORTH NODE and

OPPOSITION SOUTH NODE n
This is a good transit for everything related to communication in particular and
advertising in general. A brief period of popularity among friends or neighbors,
siblings or coworkers. It is also a good contact to express thoughts. Propaganda or -
public news may now be of interest to you. The transit of the North Node conjunct
natal Mercury and that of the South Node opposite natal Mercury have the same
meaning as the former, however, they last longer, making the effects stronger as well.

134
MERCURY t CONJUNCTION SOUTH NODE and OPPOSITION
NORTH NODE n
This is the opposite of the previous case, in this way, one's opinions do not agree
with those of others and with current social norms. Communication and advertising
are neither easy nor positive. In fact, it is an unfavorable transit for dealing with the
public or the media. The transit of the South Node conjunct natal Mercury or the
transit of the North Node opposite natal Mercury are similar to the previous case;
however, their longer duration also makes the effects stronger.

MERCURY t CONJUNCTION ASC and OPPOSITION DESC n

With this transit, the native is likely to have a more dynamic intellectual activity
than usual; a very busy day establishing communication with others. The mind will be
more awake and receptive and it is very favorable for doing good business. It is also
likely that you will have to make a short trip or travel more than usual, for various
reasons. Since Mercury symbolizes youth in general, it may also be that your contacts
will be with young people, to whom you will now pay more attention, even if this is
not your custom. The opposition with the DESC can indicate a day of mental
stimulation to make contact with other people, either to talk or discuss, or a day to
attend a legal litigation or have to answer a lawsuit.

MERCURY t CONJUNCTION MC and OPPOSITION IC n

Professional communication will now require more of your attention than usual.
You may receive important news about your professional activity. Need to think or
study matters related to one's occupation, with the aim of progressing. It is a good
opportunity to plan and collect feedback from employees in order to achieve more
effective action. Advertising or public mention of your name through newspapers,
radio or television, can be another possibility that affects you favorably or
unfavorably, depending on how Mercury is in the birth chart. A visit home, which is
not well received.

MERCURY t CONJUNCTION DESC and OPPOSITION ASC n

The transit of Mercury through the cusp of the 7th House (DESC) is
characterized by a closer or increased communication with the spouse or with
partners, in the case of a business partnership. There is a tendency to seek contact
with other people, but perhaps it is to argue. Dealing with the public and the media is
likely. It is a favorable influence for consulting a doctor, a lawyer, a psychologist, or
asking a technician for advice. It is also an excellent contact for making contracts,
making agreements or closing a deal or commercial business. From a psychological

13
5
point of view, this is an enlightening influence, allowing one to see another person,
with whom the relationship is uncertain, more objectively.

MERCURY t CONJUNCTION IC and OPPOSITION MC n

With this transit it is possible to receive a visit from a brother, neighbor, friend or
coworker. There is greater intellectual activity at home; reading, writing, and even
discussions may be very likely. It is a good time to make plans regarding family or the
house where you live. The purchase or sale of a property can be favored by this
contact, because traditionally the cusp of the IV or IC House has to do, among other
things, with real estate, which has been confirmed by modern practice. From a
psychological point of view, it is possible to be too subjective at this time, so one
must be careful not to ignore the opinions of others, resolving important matters only
on the basis of personal concepts.

MERCURY t SEXTILE SUN n

See Sun sextile Mercury n.

MERCURY t SEXTILE MOON n

See Moon t sextile Mercury n.

MERCURY t SEXTILE MERCURY n

A favorable contact for all kinds of literary work or for short trips for health, work
or friends. The mind is more awake and agile, with greater ability to tackle detailed
work. It's a good time to read a difficult book or start some new study. It is also
suitable for any type of communication, especially in relation to public relations,
propaganda or advertising. Positive contact or planning with neighbors or relatives is
possible. Favorable for all types of literary work.

MERCURY t SEXTILE VENUS n

It is a beneficial and joyful influence, but it can go unnoticed if other stronger and
more inharmonious transits occur at the same time. Emotional happiness, mental
peace and some pleasant travel can be some of its manifestations. A harmonious and
loving communication with others, particularly with loved ones. It's a good time for a
declaration of love. This contact favors those works that are related to art, music or
entertainment. Ease in expressing sensitivity through works of art or literature. Going
shopping, taking a pleasant walk, attending a concert, chatting with friends, or any
other circumstance that means the expression of a moment of leisure are also

136
important in the life of the individual. Harmonious relationships with siblings,
neighbors or office colleagues. This transit makes one feel more aware of feelings,
especially those of love and friendship. Venus in sextile transit to natal Mercury has
the same meaning as Mercury in sextile transit to natal Venus; however, it generally
lasts longer, depending on the motion of Venus, as it can be direct, stationary or -
retrograde, which indicates a time of greater social activity, to take a break from
normal activity -such as a vacation- or to enjoy the company of loved ones, siblings
and young people. It is a good transit to relax tensions with other people and “make
peace.” It is also good for carrying out any type of business transaction; buying or
selling, or making service contracts related to Venusian issues, given the capacity of
this planet to manifest artistic, sociable and associative faculties. A short and pleasant
trip is possible, or you may feel satisfied with the attitude of friends or neighbors.

MERCURY t SEXTILE MARS n

This transit helps to maintain good spirits. It is favorable for traveling. It may be a
day of hard work, especially because you want to get an idea off the ground; here is
the opportunity to put it into practice. It is a good contact in all matters relating to
mental issues, especially for people who need an energetic and concrete expression or
who are trying to obtain a positive result. On this day you may engage in an argument,
a debate, or perhaps be more forceful than usual and try to convince others. There is
an entrepreneurial, confident and dynamic attitude about one's ideas. It allows more
energy and initiative in studies and in work efficiency, in the profession or in
business. It is favorable for a technician or a craftsman who must work with his
hands. The transit of Mars sextile natal Mercury has the same meaning as the transit
of Mercury sextile natal Mars; however, it lasts longer, indicating a brief period of
intellectual activity, enterprise, ambition, and the ability to act with strength of
conviction or firmness. During these two or three days when Mars makes this aspect
to Mercury, it is possible to take a trip related to work or, if you prefer, to distract
your mind. Of course, it is a good contact for any kind of mental work where
willpower, firmness and confidence are needed; this will also be manifested through
conversation.

MERCURY t SEXTILE JUPITER n

This aspect of Mercury to Jupiter produces more self-confidence, faith and hope;
mental action is positive, harmonious and constructive. It is suitable for both short and
long trips. The mental focus turns toward important things and one is forward-
thinking about plans for the future. It is a good transit for conducting business or
major commercial transactions. The mind appears agile, broad and generous and this
helps for a favorable resolution. The native is willing to listen to the advice of others,
to express moderation and to act with maturity, tolerance and kindness. Curiosity

13
7
about foreign cultures and interest in reading about religion, philosophy, languages
and traditions may be awakened. The transit of Jupiter sextile natal Mercury has the
same meaning as the transit of Mercury sextile natal Jupiter; however, given Jupiter's
slower movement, this contact has more force and indicates a period of intellectual
and cultural enrichment. This transit occurs twice every 12 years, marking a good
time for planning and making decisions. This is an excellent contact for conducting
business transactions or signing purchase or sale contracts. Letter-writing business is
favored. It is also favorable for writers. lecturers or journalists, as well as to seek a
safe medical diagnosis with good treatment. In terms of communication, there will be
an opportunity to “smooth things over” with other people, because you will have the
necessary ability to persuade and soften the hardest feelings.

MERCURY t SEXTILE SATURN n

A good opportunity to plan in detail, although this takes time and objectives must
be carefully considered for best results. This influence is good for doing positive
mental work; it favors dealing with older people from a mental point of view and it is
possible that you will seek advice from someone who has more experience on
something that interests you. It can be favorable for legal matters and is particularly
good for making important decisions on matters that do not need to be considered
quickly. Although it is not an important aspect, it helps to have concentration or to
develop continuous and deep thinking; it allows one to observe with a critical eye
what can be changed or corrected around oneself. However, it is not a good contact
for jobs that require a broad understanding or a clearer view of the situation. This is a
transit that can be depressive if there are innate tendencies, especially if one takes
one's work too seriously; it can be lonely if one mentally isolates oneself from others.
The transit of Saturn sextile natal Mercury has the same meaning as the transit of
Mercury sextile natal Saturn; however, it is of longer duration and consequently more
important as regards mental activity. Discipline, concentration, mental organization
and realistic thinking may be some of your most immediate attitudes. This is an
excellent contact for planning something that requires a lot of attention to detail or
that, although it concerns very routine tasks, can be very large in volume. However, it
is not good for undertaking things that require creativity or where it is necessary to
take risks, because the level of intuition is lower than normal. It is a favorable transit
for carrying out some serious study, for research or for writing about scientific or
professional subjects. There is a certain danger in acting with a certain narrow-
mindedness, with intellectual rigidity, as happens with all Saturn-Mercury contacts,
although this disposition can be hidden in apparent critical thinking. As far as health
is concerned, it is possible to take a firm and serious attitude towards one's diet and
hygiene, for example, by starting a diet.

138
MERCURY t SEXTILE URANUS n
It is a favorable day for traveling or for meeting new friends or people who in one
way or another attract or awaken our interest. New ideas may be received that will be
valuable if considered; ideas for dealing with a problem that has not been solved in
the past or ideas that arise for changing a situation. It's not exactly a routine day and
sometimes you start in one direction and end up in a completely different one. It is a
favorable transit for working on electrical or electronic matters. There may be
unexpected communication with siblings, neighbors, friends or coworkers. It is a day
to do something different or to let free spontaneity arise. Rigidity or unwillingness to
allow deviation from what is planned makes this contact more difficult to manage.
The transit of Uranus sextile natal Mercury has the same meaning as the transit of
Mercury sextile natal Uranus; however, it lasts much longer. approximately 10
months, so it is a period of mental development and interesting communication with
others. It allows progress in mental order, intellectual activity, greater interest in
science and the appearance of ideas out of the ordinary. This transit vivifies skills and
allows one to learn and absorb knowledge with ease. Favorable for the study of
technologies: electronic computing, mathematics, astrology or other occult
techniques; for adopting new work methods in companies or businesses and anything
that makes mental work easier. There is a change in the way of thinking and you may
feel happy, realizing how wrong you were about something. Now the latent intuitive
faculties can be stimulated. There may also be interest in developing unusual or
unorthodox healing methods.

MERCURY t SEXTILE NEPTUNE n

This transit of Mercury sometimes produces unusual ideas and gives inspiration.
You may meet very peculiar people, especially of the psychic or spiritual type. In
contact with other people there is a special awareness of what they think or feel. This
transit also stimulates the imagination, gives greater sensitivity and intuition is
stronger than usual. For a day or two, the mind is not clear and awake, one cannot
concentrate and so it is better not to use the rational mind too much. When Neptune is
powerful, you tend to have strong and unusual impressions and interesting
experiences. It is better to trust more in internal feelings and sensations than in
reflective thoughts. It is not a good day to do any work that requires precision or
attention to detail. You will not feel inclined to make efforts and if you do, they will
not be successful. It is possible that some paper may be lost or misplaced. The transit
of Neptune sextile natal Mercury has the same meaning as the transit of Mercury
sextile natal Neptune; however, it is of longer duration, approximately a year or more,
so it will act much more strongly. This transit occurs only twice in a lifetime, and
indicates a period of intuitive thinking and rapid insight from the subconscious mind.
Creative literary expression and other forms of art such as painting, for example, are

13
9
favored, as are photography, cinematography, drawing, music, etc. States of great
spirituality and a strong propensity toward the occult may be other results. A trip or
vacation can be a bit strange, even if it provides some fascinating experiences.

MERCURY t SEXTILE PLUTO n

Now there is a need to fulfill an obligation that has been pending. Especially if the
task is tedious, it is better to deal with it now and forget about it. There is a desire to
want to persuade or influence others. It is a good transit to deal with matters that have
to do with parapsychology; there may be telepathic communication, clairvoyant
perception or an intuitive “voice” may appear. You may now want to carefully
examine something that needs clarification, not because you are suspicious but
because you want to know the truth. What you hear or learn will affect you intensely
for the better, and you will feel motivated to improve yourself intellectually or
educationally. There may be ideas, decisions, communications and even some work
related to company money, inheritances, taxes or insurance. The transit of Pluto
sextile natal Mercury is much longer in duration, given Pluto's very slow movement.
So although it has the same meaning as the transit of Mercury in sextile to natal Pluto,
indicating a long period of professional ambition in some cases, in others there
appears a strong desire to investigate or delve intellectually into something. Mental
strength at this time is powerful and perception acute. There may be a change in the
way of thinking, produced by circumstances of the environment that surrounds you. A
vehement desire to know the truth can lead the native to come into contact with ideas,
studies or philosophies that, although apparently mysterious, satisfy his curiosity or,
from a deeper point of view, are more attractive. It is an excellent period to study
occultism, philosophy, parapsychology, psychiatry or psychology. The native may
also have secret information and use it to his advantage. This transit can occur only
twice in a lifetime.

MERCURY t SEXTILE NORTH NODE and TRIGONE SOUTH

NODE n
This transit increases personal contacts or ideas that have to do with popular
issues, customs or fashionable cultural attitudes. It is a favorable contact for dealing
with the public, for making publicity or making trips that have to do with the public.
Now is the time to run a lucrative business. It is also possible to display a certain
intelligent cunning, with greater ease. Dress or eating habits are likely to reflect
fashions or customs that are in vogue at the time. The transit of the North Node sextile
to natal Mercury and the transit of the South Node trine to natal Mercury have the
same meaning as the transit of Mercury sextile to the North Node and trine to the
South Node; however, it lasts longer and therefore marks a time of close intellectual
connection with the cultural environment surrounding the native.

140
MERCURY t SEXTILE SOUTH NODE and TRIGONE NORTH
NODE n
This contact has practically the same meaning as the transit of Mercury in sextile
to the North Node and trine to the South Node, although it seems that the South Node
has more influence than the North Node on Mercury. Mercury is forced to increase
his knowledge. There may be greater interest in everything that traditional culture
represents. There may also be a very special psychic harmony during this transit. The
transit of the South Node in sextile with natal Mercury or the North Node in trine to
natal Mercury is longer lasting, indicating greater contact and communication with the
public. It is a good contact to express thoughts, since there is clarity in ideas.

MERCURY t SEXTILE ASC and TRINE DESC n

This transit facilitates communication with others, giving harmony and vivacity in
the expression of ideas. Understanding or rapprochement with siblings and neighbors;
verbal or written agreement on business matters. In fact, it is an excellent transit for
hiring, buying or selling. The more energy you have to connect with others, the better
you will feel mentally. It's a good day to deal with the public, take a short trip, write -
letters or interact with the media. It is very appropriate for studying or performing
some practical task that increases work efficiency or helps improve health. Also, to
perform any task that has to do with hygiene or clothing. From an intellectual point of
view, it is an excellent contact because it increases creativity.

MERCURY t SEXTILE MC and TRINE IC n

It is an excellent transit to have ideas that contribute to improving professional -
efficiency and domestic life. There are clear ideas regarding objectives and it is a
good day to communicate with bosses or superiors. Good transit for planning, rather
than for action, and this is true for both occupation and home. There are ideas to
improve work efficiency and now you will pay more attention to details. It may be the
beginning of a profitable contact for business reasons. Harmony in the home improves
thanks to fluid and clear communication. Intellectual activity in the home
environment is favored.

MERCURY t SEXTILE DESC and TRINE ASC n

It is a favorable transit for the native's communication with others. In fact, it has
the same meaning as the transit of Mercury in sextile to the natal ASC and trine to the
natal DESC, although in this case there is greater ease for intellectual expression and
for being able to communicate with other people. For example, it is a good day to
teach, give a lecture, attend a debate, etc., or you may feel happy sharing your
opinions with others. There will be frankness and speaking without reservation. It is

also a time to write or make phone calls more out of necessity to fulfill an obligation
than for mere satisfaction.

MERCURY t SEXTILE IC and TRINE MC n

This contact has the same meaning as the transit of Mercury in sextile to the natal
MC and trine to the natal IC, although it is stronger with regard to the professional
sphere. It is favorable for making plans regarding occupation, because the mind is
predisposed to face the total situation with an objective and broad vision. It is a good
time to do business of any kind, although they must be quick. Long negotiations,
whether for personal or business reasons, are not particularly favorable for Mercury.

MERCURY t SQUARE SUN n

MERCURY t SQUARE MOON n

MERCURY t SQUARE MERCURY n

It is a day when you may feel tired from mental work or you may encounter
obstacles in communication or even a lack of understanding. You have to be careful
when handling important papers, because they can be lost or misplaced. Although it is
not an important contact, due to the rapid effect of this planet, there may be some
nervousness or problems in health or at work, given the tension it is capable of
producing. On the other hand, if you try to be flexible, work in peace and efficiently,
you will have few difficulties. Discernment is generally poor and your ideas are not
recognized. Transportation problems, mail delays, and difficulties with short trips
may arise. Ideas can be misinterpreted, so try to be clear and more perceptive.
Obviously, this is not the time to argue, and even if it were, not all the facts are
known, so that action can be taken accordingly. Problems related to studies or
intellectual activity may arise. Difficulties also regarding diet, hygiene or clothing.

MERCURY t SQUARE VENUS n

This contact indicates difficulties in emotional communication or in personal -
relationships in general. Many people become very sensitive during this transit, from
an emotional point of view, regarding the attitudes of other people. You may not
agree with another on what you think about an issue, if you remain inflexible or if a
righteous attitude prevents you from compromising. To avoid disagreements or -
disagreements, feelings or opinions are sometimes not expressed honestly. Tendency

142
to be self-indulgent, especially when it comes to eating overly sweet or rich foods. It
is possible to make alterations, due to the difficulty in being more restricted.
Shopping, especially when it comes to clothing, can be an unnecessary expense or not
in good taste. It is also not a good day for a social visit; business may be interfered
with by a lack of communication. It is also possible that you may now give in to
another person, leaving aside your opinions or ideals; mental strength tends to -
weaken. Discussions with women. The transit of Venus square natal Mercury has the
same meaning as the transit of Mercury square natal Venus, although it lasts a little
longer, depending on the motion of Venus, which may be direct, stationary or
retrograde. In this case, one should try to avoid contact with difficult or unpleasant
matters; this transit of Venus serves more to stimulate the mind and not to excite the
emotions. It is better to do things that are happy, fun or entertaining, rather than doing
work or doing things that require physical or emotional effort.

MERCURY t SQUARE MARS n

This aspect, although not long-lasting - like all those of Mercury - tends to
irritability and impulsive speech; in general, the person acts without reflection and is
likely to express immature opinions. He is likely to get into fights, act
uncomprehending, have tantrums and display a bad temper. It can lead to being overly
critical, impatient, sarcastic in expressing ideas, so you should try to be more -
diplomatic in your relationships with others and not get involved in arguments or -
polemics. There may be disturbing news, also a hostile rejection or an insult. On the
other hand, you have to be careful with traffic; do not run red lights or exceed the
speed limit. Impatience, irritability and heated arguments can result in accidents
during this time. Also dangerous are occupational risks, work accidents or any other
activity in which tools, sharp instruments or firearms are used. It is better to use this
energy in a constructive way, for example, by doing physical exercises, participating
in a competition or defending ideas but without being egocentric and without
identifying one's own ego with what one believes or thinks. Sometimes there is a
pent-up anger that tries to break out during this time, so it is best to be prepared.
Accidents or burns can affect the arms or legs while walking or driving and are the
result of pent-up aggression or repressed anger. The transit of Mars square to natal
Mercury has the same meaning as the transit of Mercury square to natal Mars;
however, it is longer lasting, especially if Mars is retrograde or stationary, thus
marking a stronger period in terms of manifestations of mental irritation and
accidents. However, it can be a good day to defend your own ideas, as long as they
are really worthwhile. Otherwise, it is a shame to waste energy on unimportant
discussions or discussions that cause friction for nothing.

MERCURY t SQUARE JUPITER n
This transit is characterized by optimism and the desire to carry out important
plans; but your judgment regarding any matter, whether commercial, financial or
legal, may be too exaggerated, unrealistic, impractical or you may lack attention to
detail. Acting at this time with great expectations or blind faith is unwise; one must
not trust the promises received or offer more than one can give. Another danger is the
tendency to talk too much, perhaps boastfully or disparagingly about what is simpler
or smaller. He tends to be confident and self-assured; he is a poor influence on
important decisions. In business in general, or when making purchases, one must take
into account all the essential issues of the matter itself, avoiding acting hastily. If you
do so, this transit may prove much more fortunate. You may encounter problems on
public roads or in transportation. It's not a good day to travel. It is also not good for
communicating with people who are far away or live abroad or dealing with foreign-
related matters. Transit of Jupiter square natal Mercury has the same meaning as
transit of Mercury square natal Jupiter; however, as it is of longer duration than the
latter, it indicates a negative period for making important decisions that have to do
with finances or legal matters; tendency to suffer losses of money or to worry too
much about money matters; the mind is not realistic and can easily make mistakes;
wishes and hopes are hardly realized if they are exaggerated; one must be sure that
plans do not exceed the possibilities of realizing them. This transit may indicate a
period of nervousness, due to paying attention to different things at once. This contact
happens twice during Jupiter's 12-year cycle.

MERCURY t SQUARE SATURN n

This transit is characterized by a rather pessimistic mental state, of worry and
anxiety. You may feel tired and lack energy. You may find your work tedious and
irritating and communication may not be easy, either because you are not understood
or because it gives a negative or incapable impression. Try to avoid business dealings
or signing important papers because there will be impediments, delays, obstacles or
losses. It is not a good day to get a job, nor to talk to people who have power or
authority or to older people. You have to be careful with what you write and it is
better to associate with people who are more cheerful or optimistic. Saturn inclines
one to see the darker or sadder side of life, but once one is aware of this, one must
realize that one is seeing only one part of reality, so it is therefore possible to
overcome that state. Problems or disagreements may arise with friends or coworkers,
and the same happens with siblings and neighbors. Transit Saturn square natal
Mercury is similar in nature to transit Mercury square natal Saturn; however, it is
much more difficult than the latter, due to the duration of the contact made by Saturn.
During this period there is a tendency to have many worries, responsibilities,
obstacles and restrictions in your path. It is a disturbing and depressing contact for the
mentality. Tends to pessimism, disbelief, skepticism. A period of strong conflicts in

144
communication with others and of feeling melancholic and depressed because other
people do not share their ideas. You should try to understand the reason for the
conflict and help clarify the problem. In addition, there is a chance of poor health due
to overwork and low vitality due to mental stress. Nerves, lungs, teeth, skin, intestines
and knees may be involved. If you ignore the objections of others now or do not want
to understand them, you will suffer a more serious period later when Saturn is in
opposition or conjunction to natal Mercury. This transit occurs twice during Saturn's
29-year cycle.

MERCURY t SQUARE URANUS n

This is an exciting, irritating, nervous and tense context. Tendency to be sarcastic,
impatient, irritable and very insecure. It is a day when you may unexpectedly meet
someone, a person with a nervous character, a somewhat strange character or
someone who does new and exciting things. Ideas are often impractical or decisions
are made impulsively. However, there will be “sparks” in your mind – which will be
difficult to keep track of – and which can be a source of inspiration. So don't rule out
the possibility that whatever you come up with or think of now could be very
valuable. There may be a tendency to “jump” to conclusions without sufficient
information. It is not a good day to look for a job or to change positions. There may
be news that is not pleasant, but it is better to take it calmly. During this period,
electronic devices, computers, telephones, televisions, radios, etc. may break down. It
is a bad day to take important measures and also to write: there are mental hesitations
in response. If there is no flexibility, it can be a day full of nervousness, setbacks and
small surprises. You also have to be careful when driving; unforeseen action can lead
to an accident. Transit Uranus square natal Mercury has the same meaning as transit
Mercury square natal Uranus, however, as it is of longer duration, its effects are much
stronger and more noticeable, and it indicates a period of mental disturbances and
confusion. Every effort should be made to remain calm, keep the nervous system
relaxed and avoid those sudden, "crazy" changes that are characteristic of Uranus. It is
also not good to trust new ideas; there may be strong communication with eccentric or
unreliable people who can interfere with our way of thinking and also with our work.
Your ideas or opinions are also likely to provoke opposition from others at this time.
There may be a situation that requires making difficult and important decisions but in
a tense and nervous state, so it is better to postpone these until you become calmer
and more objective; something difficult to achieve, due to the mind's tendency to
impulsiveness. From a health perspective, blood circulation may be irregular or
spasmodic; it may also mean nervous ailments or diseases.

MERCURY t SQUARE NEPTUNE n

Communications can be evasive and frustrating due to the escapist or deceitful

14
5
attitude of this day. An idealistic, dramatic, mystical, and anxious situation or person,
but difficult to grasp or understand, whose tendency is to produce illusion, confusion,
and entanglement. A day of distraction or distortion of the logical reasoning process;
you are likely to experience some mental confusion, vagueness, daydreaming, or
trying to avoid work. It is not favorable for signing contracts or other important
papers, because there may be a hidden factor that means betrayal, secret enmity or
scandal. If during this period there is a possibility of making a mistake, it is very -
likely that it will happen, as well as the fact of saying something stupid. If you try to
avoid a confrontation today by acting evasively, you run the risk of making it worse
when you have to face it again. Lying or hiding the truth on this day - for which there
is a predisposition - will increase confusion and produce unpleasant situations when it
reaches the conjunction or opposition. The transit of Neptune square natal Mercury is
similar in meaning to the transit of Mercury square natal Neptune; however, due to
the slow movement of Neptune, it will be much longer lasting and more significant in
its effects, showing a time of much vagueness and psychological confusion. This
transit occurs only once in a lifetime, since Neptune's cycle is 165 years. It may be a
time of withdrawal, loneliness or dependence on someone. Tendency to make wrong
decisions and to spend a lot of time and thoughts on things that lead nowhere or lack
purpose. Disposition to inactivity, meditation, strange experiences and ideas; interest
in unusual books. Shady dealings should be avoided and even legal buying or selling
are not favored by this contact, due to the predisposition to deception, fraud and
immorality. The person you are in a relationship with at this time may be dishonest. It
is better not to make important decisions, because the mind is not lucid and objective
enough to take into account all the relevant factors. Regarding health, predisposition
to nervous problems, imaginary fears, anxieties and lack of sleep. It is a time when it
is difficult to give up the idea of drinking, smoking or taking drugs; do not rule out the
possibility of talking about your problems, this will help a lot.

MERCURY t SQUARE PLUTO n

Tendency to be worried during this day or to be obsessive about some thought.
Distrust or suspicion of something can influence the hill

146
public relations or having contact with the general public. The transit of the North
Node and the South Node square to natal Mercury has the same meaning as the transit
of Mercury square to the Nodes; however, the movement of the latter being slower,
the effects are longer lasting, indicating a period of mental tension and a lack of
harmony and intellectual adequacy with the surrounding environment. However, the
thought is realistic and of practical action, rather than expression about something
unknown.

MERCURY t SQUARE SOUTH NODE AND SQUARE NORTH

NODE n

MERCURY t SQUARE ASC

AND SQUARING DESC n
Although it indicates communication with people, there may be problems in
dealing with them. A lot of impulsiveness and anxiety in changing ideas can arise.
During this day, you may be very talkative, although you should not expect to receive
much approval or for others to agree with what you say. Possibility of disagreements
or lack of understanding either on the part of siblings, neighbors or coworkers, as well
as on the part of the spouse. Difficulties may arise in transportation. A nervous
attitude appears due to difficulties at work. Sometimes, with this transit there is a
predisposition to behave cunningly in order to take advantage of others. It is
unfavorable for writing, public speaking or teaching.

MERCURY t SQUARE MC
And IC SQUARING n
With this transit, minor problems may arise in your occupation or profession;
difficulties in communicating with others about important matters. You may not pay
attention or listen to the ideas of others, particularly the instructions of your superiors.
However, it may be a good day to carry out some plan or project that you were -
preparing, whether in the professional area or at home; this transit can prove to be
very effective. There may be interference and arguments at work or at home including
siblings, neighbors and coworkers. Reputation or family relationships may be
damaged by unfavorable comments, news or gossip.

MERCURY t TRINE MERCURY n

This is an excellent day to travel comfortably and without delays, unless there are
other transits that indicate otherwise. In both public and private communications there
is satisfaction regarding what is said. Therefore, speaking in public on that day is
positive, clearly transmitting something that convinces and gains understanding.
Creative ideas emerge that are positive. It is a good transit to apply for a job, sign a
contract or write an important letter. It is favorable for any intellectual or educational
endeavor; for reading, teaching, giving lectures, or working on scientific or
mathematical issues. The mind is clear and precise; it helps in everything that is done.
AI, like the other Mercury trines, is a good aspect for getting along well with other
people. You are more objective than on other occasions and if you have to say
something important to another person, this is an ideal time to do it. There may be
contact with young people, to whom you can give good advice or plan some form of
entertainment for their children to enjoy. This day can also help you communicate
with siblings, neighbors, friends, or coworkers.

MERCURY t TRINE VENUS n

A harmonious, calm day, without ups and downs, perhaps with pleasant company.
You are sympathetic in speech and communicate more easily, being also more
sensitive to the needs and feelings of others. It is possible to receive correspondence
from a friend, or an invitation to a social gathering. A short trip can also be
undertaken that somehow involves a friend. It's a good day to have fun, meet people
or visit friends. On the other hand, it is favorable for doing business related to
clothing, beauty products, art objects, music or luxury items. It is a good day to enjoy
an aesthetic or cultural spectacle, to see beautiful objects or artistic creations. Taking
a short trip can often combine pleasure with work. The transit of Venus trine natal
Mercury is similar in meaning to the transit of Mercury trine natal Venus; however, it
generally lasts longer, placing emphasis on feelings. It is a good time for the transit of

15
2
Venus, for example, to make a declaration of love or to talk to a person to make them
understand that they are a friend and that you are trying to improve your relationship
with them. With this transit you can make new friends, friendships that will surely last
a long time. On the other hand, the mind is calm, serene, manifesting harmony and
attracting an affective response. It is possible to receive some favor, a gift or perhaps -
someone's consent, which produces moments of joy and happiness. It is a day to rest
and not to make efforts, and if you are nervous about something, it is an excellent -
transit to relax and let your thoughts become erratic.

MERCURY t TRINE MARS n

This transit grants the ability to plan, to coordinate thoughts as well as physical
actions. It is a day with more energy than usual, with an entrepreneurial spirit and
even being ready to face or solve difficult problems and major mental work. It is a
good transit for public speaking, political discussion or planning. The mind works
faster; this benefits the writer, among other things, because it provides literary
stimulation. For example, the right word is easy to find. The plans that are made will
be bolder and more innovative than usual. It is a good day to ask for a promotion
because you will show more self-confidence and act in a positive way that others will
respect. Health can be improved through physical exercise; cycling or walking will do
the trick. The transit of Mars trine natal Mercury is similar in meaning to the transit of
Mercury trine natal Mars; however, it lasts longer, depending on whether Mars is
direct, retrograde, or stationary. In this case, it marks a period of mentally
constructive action. There is an initiative to study, write and establish
communications and it is an excellent time to plan and carry out any mental work.

15
3
psychology, etc. You may also try to hide your plans until the time is right for a
successful operation. There may be very remarkable experiences with someone that
produce an opening in consciousness; perhaps with a friend or a spiritual teacher. The
inner search is successful.

Now communications can be difficult and demanding because you feel that you
cannot or should not say what you really think. On the other hand, there is the
possibility of discrepancies, disagreements and nervousness regarding what you say
or hear. There may be confusion when speaking and you may have to make an effort
to understand correctly and express yourself clearly. It is best to answer only
correspondence and phone calls that cannot be avoided, but try to postpone any
important decisions. Wrong decisions can be made based on erroneous or incomplete
information. However, this can be a stimulating day for your ideas, if you test them
and try to find out what other people think of them. Don't be afraid to change your
mind, because now you will be more aware. This contact can lead to making
impulsive decisions or committing imprudences if natal Mercury is afflicted; therefore
it is not advisable for traveling. It is good to consider everything carefully and pay
attention to everything you do during this day. Confusions or mistakes may appear in
general and in particular in relation to siblings, neighbors or coworkers. It is possible
that after this transit has passed, you will have to make some important changes.

15

MERCURY t OPPOSITION VENUS n
On this day there may be a disagreement or lack of understanding with a loved
one or friend, which may leave a feeling of loneliness and indifference. There may be
communication disorders, whether social, emotional, marital or even work-related. He
may not feel like arguing or fighting and may even give in on something that would
have made him react in another situation. You may later regret having made an
important decision. This can be a day for small talk, gossip, which can sometimes
interfere with work efficiency. It is not a favorable contact for intellectual work that
requires discipline and concentration. Tendency to make purchases of items that are
too expensive or things that are not really needed. It can be a positive and harmonious
contact, if one is aware of the needs and feelings of others. The transit of Venus
opposite natal Mercury is similar in meaning to the transit of Mercury opposite natal
Venus; however, this is generally a somewhat more pronounced contact, depending
on the motion of Venus, which may be direct, stationary, or retrograde. In this case,
an emotional conflict can make the discussion difficult and it is better not to talk
about your true feelings now, because they can be misinterpreted. However, it is a
good transit to clarify any problems in a relationship, taking into account what has
been said above, as long as there are no other transits that indicate emotional
confrontation. There may also be news or visitors that require you to behave
accommodatingly, acting with tact and courtesy. It is a contact to act diplomatically
and restrain any reactionary attitude or opinion. During this transit, you have to be
careful with what you say because you may inadvertently hurt someone who may be a
friend or loved one. A short trip may not be very pleasant.

MERCURY t OPPOSITION MARS n

Tendency to have arguments, to provoke or to speak in an ironic or biting manner.
You should try to be diplomatic in your relationships with others and have patience
with those who do not approve of your behavior. This transit often brings criticism
and involves one in disputes or unfavorable comments; it irritates the nerves and
intensifies mental action. Produces contact with people and conditions that are
irritating, annoying or bothersome. It is not a favorable day to close a deal or reach an
agreement with someone. It is likely that your opinion is now wrong or you do not
fully understand what is being said to you. It is better not to rush and be careful not to
say something that might offend. Correspondence is likely to be a nuisance and this is
not a good day for writing important letters or presenting new ideas. It could also
mean an accident, especially burns or some other type of car accident, because there is
a predisposition in their behavior to react impulsively. The transit of Mars in
opposition to natal Mercury is similar in meaning to the transit of Mercury in
opposition to natal Mars; however, it is longer lasting, depending on the movement of
Mars; it marks a period of difficulties, due to the mental irritation it produces. Strong

15
9
arguments due to a lack of objectivity, especially with siblings, neighbors or
coworkers. The susceptibility to accidents increases, so it is necessary to drive with
caution and avoid speed. If you find that pending work has piled up or that you need
to devote time to certain details, study papers, take a trip, etc., you must act decisively
but in order of importance. It is not a time for reflection or discernment.
Communications tend to be competitive, with a lack of understanding, and this causes
disagreements.

MERCURY t OPPOSITION JUPITER n

This transit predisposes you to be overconfident and sure on this day, to have
exaggerated optimism and can be an unworthy influence in making important
decisions. From a mental point of view, there is a tendency to ramble when speaking,
to be distracted or to promise things that cannot be fulfilled, or to think with a lack of
reality or objectivity. This contact causes a loss of clarity regarding details, and there
is less precision because it acts by focusing on the whole rather than the parts. Doing
business now or dealing with a legal or financial matter may prove to be overvalued
or costly. Likewise, a trip abroad or communication with foreigners or people in
distant places can lead to disappointment. In contact with other people, try not to give
the impression of self-sufficiency or arrogance, a tendency to overly exaggerated
emotions. The transit of Jupiter in opposition to natal Mercury is similar in meaning
to the transit of Mercury in opposition to natal Jupiter; however, it is a contact of
longer duration and stronger in its effects, which predisposes to have

16
0
benevolent, courteous, accommodating and pleasant, perhaps somewhat weak in
character but truly considerate and affectionate towards you. There is a predisposition
to be more cooperative and friendly than before. It is a favorable transit for making
new relationships, although logically other transits or stronger directions are needed
for these to be truly lasting. There is a need to meet up with friends; it is a good time
to have fun and feel joy. Romantic situations may arise, as it awakens attraction and
sympathy. Contacts with young people, mainly of the female sex.

VENUS t CONJUNCTION MARS n

Every transit by conjunction favors making new beginnings. It can be a dynamic
activity of an artistic nature or the more common desire to establish a romantic
relationship; these are two aspects that characterize this contact. It excites the
emotional nature very strongly and one tends to be impulsive in the manifestation of
affections; it awakens a strong attraction and desire for the opposite sex. It can cause
sudden "love attacks" or sometimes fights between lovers or people who love each
other, which end with altercations and emotional outbursts, followed by repeated and
seductive displays of "cuddling." However, since it is Venus conjunct Mars and not
transiting Mars conjunct Venus, the effect is more tempered. It softens Mars and
makes you more accommodating or willing to satisfy the needs of your partner or the
other person, whatever your relationship with them may be. It is an aspect associated
with the sexual relationship itself. Social matters also require attention and effort; one
must dress more attractively and arouse feelings of attraction in others. It is also a
good transit for artistic activity in general or its physical expression, such as dancing,
singing, and dancing. The transit of Mars conjunct natal Venus has the same meaning
as the transit of Venus conjunct natal Mars, however, it is of longer duration,
indicating a brief period of somewhat aggressive emotional contact, with discord if
one does not obtain some kind of gratification from the loved one. Sexual energy is
strong and requires making love to someone, even if from an emotional point of view
he or she does not have affection. If Mars is slow in its movement, it can mean the
beginning of a love relationship that will last for a while, although it will not be very
happy and long-lasting because it is based on physical contact. You will be fooling
yourself if you think that you will remain friends with someone of the opposite sex
with whom you have established a relationship precisely during this transit. This
contact can also mean that someone is angry with you, someone whose treatment is
unpleasant but who is strong. Since the level of this energy is high, it can be used for
constructive action, whether it be working on hard physical labor, sports or exercises,
or doing repairs.

VENUS t CONJUNCTION JUPITER n

This transit is one of the luckiest and is characterized by a happy, optimistic

16
6
attitude and even generosity towards others. Love in this case brings more happiness
now and is very favorable for attending meetings, making friends and having fun.
This is one of the most pleasant contacts because it brings kindness, favors and gifts,
indicates luck and is generally fortunate from an economic, sentimental, social or
professional point of view. There is an optimistic, friendly attitude, with faith in
oneself and one who does not want confrontations or arguments. Social activity is
possible and may in some way be related to religion, education, cultural or
philosophical issues. There may be contact with educated people or professionals.
Artistic or cultural events are very enjoyable and purchasing clothes can add elegance
and beauty on these days. If you need to hold an important social gathering, attend or
give a concert, or hold an art exhibition, this is an excellent time to choose. It is also a
good time to seek the friendship of people of good economic standing, who are
distinguished in some way in society or those of superior status. It is a good period to
do business related to art, music, luxury items and cultural shows. Time spent with
loved ones in a cordial atmosphere or in quiet reflection brings much peace and
serenity. The transit of Jupiter conjunct natal Venus is similar in meaning to the
transit of Venus conjunct natal Jupiter, however, it is of longer duration and indicates
a period of cultural, social, or business expansion. It is one of the most favorable
transits that occur in life and occurs every twelve years. Increases popularity; people
who enjoy social prestige - professionals or wealthy people - tend to grant favors and
protection.

VENUS t CONJUNCTION SATURN n

It is definitely an unpleasant transit. From an emotional point of view, you may
feel lonely and sad, clinging to loved ones or those you trust. It is precisely on the side
of affections where you will feel restriction or limitation, but this does not mean that
there is no love; it may indicate difficulties in a love relationship or not feeling
affection but on the contrary, rather indifference. It is possible that the person you
want to attract cannot be seen or that the company you are left with is dull or stupid. It
is also possible that the person you now meet may be tied to you for a long time and
even if he or she is not attractive, he or she may be very faithful and serious. At a
party, he will not be the centre of attention and may even make some blunders; he
may get along with older people, even if they do not understand him. Poor contact for
social, musical or artistic matters, as well as with regard to feelings and the possibility
of feeling pleasure and joy, unless there are other strong aspects to the contrary. This
transit may indicate a temporary breakup or separation from a loved one, or it may
coincide with critical circumstances in romantic relationships. But if Saturn enjoys
good aspects in the natal chart, an old emotional, commercial or social relationship
can be resumed during this transit. The transit of Saturn conjunct natal Venus is
similar in meaning to the transit of Venus conjunct natal Saturn: however, it is of
much longer duration and therefore its effects are stronger and longer lasting,
signaling a period of emotional restriction, depression, loneliness, especially if the

16
7
conjunction receives inharmonious aspects from other planets in transit. You will feel
more sensitive or demanding with those around you; somewhat more despised and
perhaps less cared for than you think you should be. You may also feel hurt because
your friends do not comply with your requests or seem to become indifferent or
disloyal, magnifying slights that may be unintentional or caused by circumstances
beyond your control. This transit can also mean a period of austerity, either by force
of circumstances or by one's own will. In any case, it is a period in which financial
matters must be controlled, there is a tendency to be more conservative and it is better
not to take risks because there is a possibility of having problems in this regard. In
addition, it can mean strong grief for the loss of a loved one. You will feel that people
are relying on you and you will have to take responsibility for responding to their
needs. It is not a good time to start a relationship, unless Venus is well aspected. A
great way to avoid negative feelings is to keep busy, be creative, surround yourself
with happy people, listen to music and wear bright, pleasant colors.

VENUS t CONJUNCTION URANUS n

This is a very magnetic and attractive transit during which an unexpected and
romantic love relationship may appear. If Uranus is afflicted in the birth chart, it can
produce the opposite and repel, with unexpected separation. Tendency to behave
eccentrically, in an unconventional manner, to be indiscreet, without considering
conventionalities. During these two days when Venus passes through Uranus, it is
possible to meet up with an old friend or someone very dear to you from the past. But
any relationship that begins at this time, no matter how exciting, eventually becomes
unstable and doesn't last long. Unexpected social gatherings may occur, as well as
unexpected business opportunities may arise. From a financial point of view, there
may be gains or losses, depending on the care taken when making investments. Faced
with the new situation, act with enthusiasm but also with discretion; you should
always expect that something will turn out to be interesting or exciting during this
transit. Furthermore, it is a good aspect for artistic and musical activities, because it -
intensifies intuitive inspiration. The transit of Uranus conjunct natal Venus has the
same meaning as the transit of Venus conjunct natal Uranus; however, it is of much
longer duration, and may have an influence for a year or more. Its effects mark an
important period of life from a sentimental, emotional, artistic and social point of
view. This transit occurs every 84 years and practically this opportunity comes only
once in a lifetime. It indicates a period of high emotional tension, both restless and
subtle. You may be drawn to unconventional or rebellious social behavior; you may
also seek to free yourself from emotional ties, especially in relationships with the
opposite sex; decide to break up your marriage, leave home or family, and seek a new,
younger relationship. This contact produces a great feeling of emotional freedom and
self-expression, a change of consciousness or attitude that develops internally. It is
therefore necessary to make changes with a new perspective on a love relationship or
marriage, with a new order that allows greater freedom of expression and

16
8
independence. If you start a new relationship during this time, do not make plans with
him or her for the future until the effects of this transit have passed. If you are an
artist, it will be a time of excellent ideas and prolific creativity.

VENUS t CONJUNCTION NEPTUNE n

This is a deceptive transit that tends to have very peculiar emotional states and
psychic influences. Sometimes it involves self-deception and under its effects, one
lets oneself be carried away by emotions. If Nebula is well aspected, it can indicate
spiritual elevation, failure of selfishness and a feeling of full love for the loved one.
You may feel compassion or anxiety for someone you love who is weak or sick and
helpless. You may experience a sense of beauty or have more sensitivity during this
period; therefore, if the person is an artist, this contact may indicate days of
inspiration and creativity. It is possible to feel nostalgic, vulnerable or listless; to enter
a contemplative or introverted state. That is why it is better to leave any determination
that may be required regarding sentimental and economic issues for later. Transiting
Neptune conjunct natal Venus has the same meaning as transiting Venus conjunct
natal Neptune; however, since it lasts about a year or more (it happens only once in a -
lifetime), its effects are more noticeable. It leads to deceptive love affairs, in which
one imagines being in love when one is not really in love or believes that another
person likes one when this is not the case. Love life tends to be romantic and
idealistic, perhaps unrealistic; one believes in the perfection and beauty of others,
although reality may be completely different. You may have difficulty seeing your
flaws, because in your ideal of perfection, you won't notice them. If Venus is badly
aspected in the natal chart, it can be a dangerous aspect because it can become
temporarily associated with someone who awakens your emotions to a very marked
degree, leading you to very peculiar and even mysterious experiences, to secret
business activities, hidden romances and complications of a sexual nature.
Disappointments in love are frequent with this contact, which become even more
acute if one falls in love with someone who is not a worthy or worthwhile person.
Because of the desire to help or "save" another person, the relationship with a sick,
drug-addicted or alcoholic person can be disastrous, and this transit announces a
situation of uncertainty and misfortune. It can also happen the other way around: one
is unworthy and seeks to fall in love with someone who can “save” or protect him.

VENUS t CONJUNCTION PLUTO n

This transit can produce sexual experiences or intense sentimental and emotional
relationships. If the conjunction is badly aspected by other planets in the birth chart or
in transit, one must be careful of any dirty or false maneuvers in intimate
relationships. But if it is well aspected, it can be a rewarding influence and increase
good feelings in a couple. In any case, one must be cautious about the tendency that
this contact gives to jealousy and a sense of possessiveness, because this leads to

16
9
negative reactions that affect the relationship. Another effect of this transit is
connected with the finances of others, with the money of a company, tax payments,
insurance or alimony in the case of a separation. In the case of a group activity, you
may impose authority but also with sympathy, affability and power of attraction.
From an aesthetic point of view, there is sometimes interest in finding new uses for
old objects that have already been discarded. The transit of Pluto conjunct natal Venus
has the same meaning as the transit of Venus conjunct natal Pluto; however, being of
much longer duration (it occurs only once in a lifetime) its influence lasts for a year or
more, if we take into account its periods of direct and retrograde motion. This transit
can transform your love life and be a truly unique experience. Love at this time can be
extremely passionate, dissipating and compulsive, where reason has no place and
unconscious impulses are stronger. Romantic and social relationships can turn out for
better or worse, so it is necessary to pay attention to this transit, due to the danger it
entails. There is a need to regenerate the affective side of your nature, which if not
satisfied with the existing relationship can lead to a breakup. The sexual drive is very
strong and can only be overcome by sublimating it through creative work. This
contact allows you to delve into art, music, culture in general, joining groups that
have to do with this or with psychology; you can make deep friendships that will have
a considerable impact on your life. Feelings can be stirred by an emotional crisis or by
the loss of a family member or friend. Feelings that were “buried” a long time ago
may reappear, in order to be reexamined and discharged into the unconscious as a
purification.

VENUS CONJUNCTION NORTH NODE

And OPPOSITION SOUTH NODE n
One or two happy days, of tranquility and surrounded by emotional ties, if other
stronger and more negative transits do not indicate otherwise. It may also be a good
day to take an important step in sentimental matters. This aspect tends to be more
expressive of itself, giving a certain personal charm and popularity. In a man's letter it
attracts a beautiful woman or one with a lot of charm in her way of being. The woman
may feel satisfied and happy in contact with loved ones. The transit of the North Node
conjunct natal Venus or the transit of the South Node simultaneously in opposition to
natal Venus has the same meaning as the transit of Venus conjunct the North Node
and opposition to the South Node, however, it is slower and longer lasting in its
effects, since the mean Node moves on average about three minutes of arc per day.
This contact indicates rather a period of family harmony, of union with other people,
relationships that involve feelings and with which one feels gratified.

VENUS t CONJUNCTION SOUTH NODE
And OPPOSITION NORTH NODE n
This transit does not favor happiness. You may feel more sensitive and not be able
to express your feelings as you would like or not be able to adapt easily to more
intimate relationships. For a man it may be necessary

17
1
there may be benefits through social activities, particularly those connected with
religion or higher education. Likewise, legal matters resolved at this time produce
profits. There may be sentimental, commercial or artistic ties with a foreigner or
person related to cultural, educational or religious institutions. If you need to
celebrate or entertain other people, this is a good time to choose, because you will
surely have a satisfactory result. It is a good time to seek reconciliation with someone;
you will surely receive good treatment from others during this time. The transit of
Jupiter sextile to natal Venus is similar in meaning to the transit of Venus sextile to
natal Jupiter; however, being of longer duration, it indicates a pleasant and enjoyable
period, harmonious in the most intimate relationships and "lucky" in financial matters,
although as with all sextiles, which are not as strong as trines, it needs one's initiative
to have some other advantages. Social contacts can be made that will be beneficial at
this time. Aesthetic interests in art, fashion, decoration or music now receive
acceptance and recognition. It is possible to fall in love at this time; your sincere
feelings receive respect and recognition from the other party. Now is also the time to
plan a trip, go on vacation or become interested in artistic or social matters. You may
feel attracted to visiting beautiful places or people you love very much, and on the
contrary, avoid contact with ugly places or people who live in more humble
conditions.

VENUS t SEXTILE SATURN n

It is not an aspect that can be considered very positive, let's say. It leads to having
a reserved, formal attitude. You will tend to associate with older people of good
economic standing. It may create certain obligations and duties regarding some of
your relationships. A rather cold or sensitive demeanor can leave you alone and
worried. Social obligations and even business or artistic work will be serious and
respectable, not very cheerful. The possibility of entering into a business partnership
with another person may arise. A love relationship at this time can also manifest with
an older person or you can be this person and the other very young. It is a good transit
to become intimate with your loved one and deepen the relationship with a conscious
understanding of it, since now it is very important for you to know the reality of your
emotional bond. It is a good contact to seek the support of older people or those in
authority, whether for financial matters or for a project that has to do with art or
beauty. Steady routine work can give satisfaction and pleasure, catching up on
something that was overdue or improving, beautifying or bringing into harmony some
working method. He

transit of Saturn in sexti! Natal Venus has the same meaning as Venus sextile natal
Saturn, however, this is much longer lasting, occurring only twice in Saturn's 29-year
cycle, so its effects can be felt for a long time, marking a period of stability in
business or financial matters. Emotional relationships between couples in conflict are

17
5
now safer and more tolerable. Tendency to be more discreet, calm and even-tempered.
It is not a contact that gives idealism precisely, but from a practical point of view it is
excellent for understanding the needs of others and trying to satisfy them. If others
work for you, you will be well rewarded for their services. Tendency to control
affections, moderate emotions, form associations with older people or serious people,
and if there is a romantic relationship now, it is very likely that there will be quite a
difference in age. Either way, whether you are younger or older, the relationship and
affection are strong and stable, united by a practical and even convenient attitude. To
the extent that you are aware of this, relationships will endure and withstand the
ravages of time, especially when crises occur with Saturn in conjunction, opposition
or square with Venus. The sextile transit occurs twice in Saturn's 29-year cycle.

VENUS t SEXTILE URANUS n

This contact is very magnetic and is also usually very capricious. A romantic or
social opportunity may suddenly appear. It is possible to meet a very good friend
unexpectedly or to form a new relationship that will be somewhat unconventional,
exciting and that can produce unexpected consequences; this relationship, over time,
becomes unstable and does not last. In reality, it is a contact that needs to attract
interesting or stimulating friends, hence it is a good transit for a meeting of friends,
where you will have fun, be sparkling and lively. Original ideas for making money
may also appear during this transit, whether connected to the electronic or scientific
field, or to art and music. Transiting Uranus sextile natal Venus has the same meaning
as transiting Venus sextile natal Uranus, but it lasts much longer and, consequently,
its effects are more prolonged. It indicates a fortunate period for artistic matters of all
kinds, giving good opportunities for artists, musicians and actors and all those people
who make a living from art, meaning an important time in the development of talent
and skills; it is the opportunity to “get ahead”. There are opportunities to change your
social life with events that are striking and interesting, since they also involve
dynamic and attractive people; but try to stay calm, be careful not to get nervous or
commit emotional extravaganzas. A new relationship that is independent and
unconventional can have a very marked effect on your love life. Any new relationship
you make now will be very different from the old ones and you will not be
predisposed to be jealous or possessive with them, on the contrary, you will consider
that others should be as free as you are with them. Only in this way can relationships
last, respecting each other's freedom and spontaneity, otherwise, that is. Following a
routine, worn-out or outdated path can lead to failure. Relationships that are not -
entirely stable can now change on a new basis.

VENUS t SEXTILE NEPTUNE n

During this transit, creative imagination is stimulated. There is a noticeable
increase in sensitivity and appreciation for beauty in general, depending on the

17
6
capacity each person has to manifest this energy externally in their actions. It can lead
to artistic inspiration, religious inspiration, or just a pleasant daydream. There is
greater sympathy for others, better feelings and an idealistic attitude towards
friendship. You may get more satisfaction from acts of kindness, consideration, and
compassion for others than from being aloof, touchy, and withdrawn. Someone you -
know well may be going through a time of weakness, confusion, intrigue, and being
unreliable. If you yourself feel vulnerable, confused, seeking solitude, try to regain
your own inner serenity. It is a good time to visit relatives or friends in hospitals,
nursing homes or prisons. There is a keen sensitivity to the needs and feelings of
loved ones. The transit of Neptune sextile natal Venus is similar in meaning to the
transit of Venus sextile natal Neptune, however, because it is longer it indicates a
period of emotional refinement as well as from an aesthetic point of view. This transit
occurs only once or twice in a lifetime and is very subtle, working on the psychic
plane and sometimes, apparently, without any effect; it should be used with great
discretion. In horoscopes that do not indicate sensitivity, Neptune does not have much
influence. For example, when there are many energies of positive planets, such as the
Sun, Mars and Jupiter, the subtle vibrations of Neptune dissipate and lose their
strength. From an emotional point of view, there will be opportunities to expand the
cultural, artistic or social sphere. Music, art, drama, fashion or decoration and all -
fields where beauty, social or work activity are at the service of others, will produce
more happiness and popularity. Also a predisposition to idealize someone, however,
this does not mean that it is harmful. It can be the beginning of a new love and in
some cases (if the birth chart indicates it) a spiritual love. In any romantic
relationship, there is usually a tendency to idealize your partner, trying to do
everything you can for him or her and, logically, to be less selfish. It is an altruistic
contact, with which he demonstrates that he is capable of being generous and helpful.

VENUS t SEXTILE PLUTO n

Days to experience strong emotions, to deepen feelings towards a loved one.
There may be an intense love relationship and the manifestation of sexuality. If a
relationship begins during this transit, it will be particularly strong, intense and with
the possibility of having to experience some event that could be transcendental in the
lives of both. There may be inspiration in artistic or creative activity. You may now
be exceptionally attractive, with strong feelings of love, and thus create opportunities
for romance. There can be more happiness in being in contact with young people and
taking the initiative in this regard, because you will realize the strength of their
feelings. The transit of Pluto sextile natal Venus has the same meaning as the transit
of Venus sextile natal Pluto; however, it lasts approximately one year with its periods
of being direct and retrograde, marking a prolonged period in which an intense need
for love and an active sexual life will stand out. However, caution should be exercised
with abuse, because this transit can degenerate into something purely sensual and give

17
7
importance only to physical pleasure. Love and creativity have the power to transform
your life now and this is the true meaning of this contact. However, a strong feeling of
attraction, of being “madly in love” and feeling happiness, may be possibilities. This
transit increases your popularity because it attracts others to you. It is also favorable
for intense social activity, with a wide variety of people. It can lead to a tendency to
join groups related to art, music, social work or culture in general. A deep friendship
can arise as a result of the impact produced by contact with psychological or esoteric
groups. Feelings that have already been “buried” in the past may be brought up again
for consideration and examination and then released, bringing peace and
understanding.

VENUS t SEXTILE NORTH NODE AND TRINE SOUTH NODE

n
Ability to adapt to others, kindness, bonds of love; these are usually some of the
most likely manifestations of this day. In addition, it is possible to find support and
collaboration in line with the social trends that are acting at that time. There may be
cultural interests and popularity. Income usually increases. The transit of the North
Node in sextile to

Natal Venus and South Node transit trine natal Venus have the same meaning as
Venus sextile North Node transit and natal South Node trine; however, it lasts longer
and indicates a period in which one is more in tune with the social circumstances
around one. If the South Node transit is stronger, it is advisable to keep expenses
under control and reduce entertainment; even contact with others will not be pleasant.

VENUS t SEXTILE SOUTH NODE AND TRINE NORTH NODE

n
It is a transit very similar to the previous one. It may be time to take an important
step in romantic matters. Tendency to be very expressive with others; this transit gives
a certain charm and popularity. Traditional values can be a reason to feel emotionally
affected. The transit of the South Node sextile Venus, or the North Node trine natal
Venus, has the same meaning as the transit of Venus sextile the South Node and trine
the natal North Node; however, it is longer in duration, since the Node moves more
slowly than Venus and thus marks a period for having good social relationships.
Romances, dating, gifts, active social life. Help or benefits that come from the female
sex.

VENUS t SEXTILE ASC AND TRINE DESC n

This transit indicates moments when you will want to express your affections and

17
8
feel true pleasure in being with others, whether they are friends, simple acquaintances
or people you meet that day. You will feel physically well and emotionally happy
sharing your free time with someone you love - unless other stronger transits indicate
otherwise - but even so, this contact will improve and help relationships. There is true
harmony in the marital sphere, as well as in business or social dealings, which implies
an intimate commitment. It's a good time to smooth things over, get along again and
seek unity. It eliminates shyness and the fear of making a bad impression on others
and allows for greater ease in social relationships, with more personal charisma and
power of attraction.

VENUS t SEXTILE MC AND TRINE IC n

VENUS t TRINE VENUS n

It is a good transit to have fun, be with friends, attend social gatherings or enjoy a
family reunion. This double Venusian influence promises happy circumstances and a
reciprocal rapprochement in intimate relationships. There is kindness and
consideration for others. Attraction to young people; in general it is a favorable day
for dealing with women. The loving relationship is characteristic of this contact. From
another point of view, it is likely that you will attend a concert or an exhibition,
because art has a special appeal at this time. If you are an artist, take advantage of this
energy because it is very favorable for creative activity; you are also likely to receive
financial help or some recognition for your work. It is not a transit to be active, on the
contrary, it is more for resting, since Venus tends to relaxation and loosens the tension
of resistance.

VENUS t TRINE MARS n

It represents the perfect balance between giving and receiving love. This is the
typical contact of love and sexual attraction; if a relationship begins during this
transit, it can be long-lasting. The mind tends to seek affection, sympathy and love,
with a disposition of mind to enjoy pleasures. It awakens the sexual impulse, but in a
more gentle way. A woman who wants to get pregnant may now be able to do so. It is
a contact that helps creativity in every sense, which is why it is excellent for actors,
musicians and artists. Social gatherings turn out to be fun, joyful, and one can enjoy
pleasant moments, receive compliments, affection and consent. It is also possible to -
receive money, gifts or favors through social contacts. It is a favorable contact for
making investments in commercial matters, but without speculation. The transit of

18
8
Mars trine natal Venus has the same meaning as the transit of Venus trine natal Mars;
however, it is of longer duration, depending on whether Mars is direct, stationary, or
retrograde. However, it is also a favorable period for love relationships and strong
sexual contacts occur unless other planets indicate otherwise, for example, Saturn
transits. In reality, this is more of a physical than a mental contact, so a relationship
that is only romantic will not be very satisfactory. It is also a very favorable transit for
creative activity, although it does not provide inspiration, which must fundamentally
be sought through Neptune and similar factors. Women in particular can indulge in
beauty treatments or make some nice purchases that will make them more attractive.
It's a good time to get together with friends, have fun and listen to music. Loved ones
of both sexes may seek your company, as your vitality and will can impact them now.

VENUS t TRINE JUPITER n

Like the Sun trine Jupiter, this transit has traditionally been considered one of the
best, although it is short-lived. She is an excellent influence because she brings favors,
kindness and gifts; she is generally lucky from a financial point of view and money
comes in more than usual. There is harmony in relationships, whether social,
sentimental or commercial. During this transit, you may personally feel happy, -
comfortable, expansive, tension-free, and more careful about your clothing and
behavior. It is a good contact to seek the friendship of people of good economic
standing, distinguished, cultured or in positions of authority. Favorable for all matters
related to economics and, in general, for anything that needs to be promoted and
expanded. An excellent time to start a vacation, because it ensures a happy and fun
break at the same time. On the contrary, this transit is not good for starting a business
or enterprise that requires activity and energy, because that is precisely what will be
lacking here, as well as there not being enough seriousness and responsibility. The -
transit of Jupiter trine natal Venus is similar in meaning to the transit of Venus trine
natal Jupiter; however, it is longer lasting, indicating a very favorable period, the most
pleasant of all. It produces a state of happiness, of inner contentment; you will feel
generous and want others to feel good; you will be more tolerant, kind and effusive. If
you start a love relationship with this transit, it is very likely that it will be really
beneficial. In addition, it provides new and good friends. These are times to receive
gifts, favors and invitations. A very beneficial influence on health, although you
should be careful not to eat or drink too much, because you can feel the negative
effects of this later. It is excellent for a long trip; the relationship with foreign people
is good. In some examples, it has meant luck or money in some way, but this is not
always the case.

VENUS t TRINE SATURN n

This is a good time to visit for work or obligatory commitments, or to visit elderly
people. This transit is appropriate for doing some business related to old things. From
another point of view, a very intimate relationship can be born at this time or the link

189
with an old friendship can be renewed, the same with an old partner or a long-
standing romantic relationship. The emotional attitude is one of peace and tranquility;
a good time to discuss any problems that may exist in a relationship, whether
romantic or not. A romantic relationship that begins now will be undemonstrative,
serious, sober, but also firm in its feelings. There may be quite a difference in age or
social status. Sometimes the relationship is based on practical considerations rather
than romantic attraction. There is a sense of reality with this contact and one is more
objective. In money matters, one is more careful and conservative; often, doing public
relations involves doing serious and important business. It is a good time to interview
people in positions of authority, to ask for favors, financial support or request a
promotion. The trine from Saturn to natal Venus has the same meaning as the trine
from Venus to natal Saturn; however, it is of longer duration and consequently its
effects are more noticeable. Saturn makes contact every 29 years, making the above
more pronounced, preventing impulsive relationships and stabilizing or making
existing ones more secure and realistic. Tendency to be more discreet, calm, balanced
and serene. Now it is possible, after the square or opposition was able to painfully
suppress a relationship that was not appropriate, to have a new perspective of what is
needed in life; it is a period to reap what has been sown or learned; to maintain only
those relationships that have true value for your life. From another point of view, it is
feasible to reorganize your home, your office, make new decorations or furnishings;
have an interest in classical music or establish a business or professional partnership
that will be long-lasting.

VENUS t TRINE URANUS n

It is an excellent transit for all matters of an artistic nature, which will surely be
successful, although not always financially, because this aspect belongs especially to
Jupiter. You may be attracted to people you don't know, who tend to have a rather -
unusual temperament, or you may frequent places that are very different from your
usual ones. During these days you will probably want to do something different to
break the monotony of your daily routine, not only on an emotional level through -
entertainment, for example, but also with other friends. You may wish to enjoy an
artistic or musical performance that is interesting or unusual. The attitude is happy,
cheerful and excitable, with the feeling of having more emotional freedom. A love
relationship that begins with this transit will be magnetic, unusual and very romantic,
although it is possible that it will be brief and unstable. Artistic or cultural ideas will
be original and thus attract attention. Purchasing luxury items, music and electronics
is another possibility. Transit Uranus trine natal Venus has the same meaning as
transit Venus trine natal Uranus; however, it lasts much longer, completing a cycle
approximately every 28 years to be trine again. It is one of the most important
influences from a social and personal point of view. It may indicate the beginning of a
very romantic and happy love relationship, which will be very different from the -
experiences already lived. It leads to contact with very magnetic, dynamic,

19
0
independent people; this relationship can be more stable, due to the desire of both to
want to escape from a suffocating environment or one that in some way limits or
restricts. Intuition is natural here, with a strong indication of artistic talent and a
highly original way of manifesting it. Friendships formed may be short-lived unless
they are managed on a high plane of idealism. Eliminate excitability and impulsive
judgment when your feelings and emotions are concerned. New creative energies;
sexual impulses and feelings need to be expressed at this time.

VENUS t TRINE NEPTUNE n

This transit is characterized by an increase in emotional sensitivity, kindness and
good feelings. During this short period, there may be someone who is very
affectionate and considerate towards you. There is greater harmony and understanding
in marital and romantic relationships because there is an increase in emotional
sensitivity, compassion and kindness. It is a useful transit for those who develop a
creative activity, due to the capture of beauty and artistic imagination. Love tends
toward spirituality, selflessness, and if you act compassionately toward those who are
weak or in trouble, you will gain deep appreciation. However, a relationship that
begins now may turn out to be quite illusory, especially if Neptune is poorly aspected,
and time will tell whether it was a fleeting and exciting romance or whether it
produced deception and disillusionment. It is also favorable for meditation, prayer,
visiting church or people in a hospital, nursing home or prison. Travel for pleasure
and relaxation, as well as making a religious pilgrimage, are very positive. The transit
of Neptune trine natal Venus has the same meaning as the transit of Venus trine natal
Neptune, however, due to its longer duration (it occurs only once in a lifetime) it is
more effective and marks a very unique period emotionally. Very peculiar friendships
are made, people of a more spiritual level are attracted, with whom the relationship
can be of a psychic and intangible nature. There may be a strange state of heightened
affections, an unusual romantic relationship, with an idealism never experienced
before. This transit does not produce great disappointments like the inharmonious -
aspects of Neptune with Venus, but it is essential to observe the aspects of the latter in
the natal chart. It can also provide the possibility of living a home or family situation
of great happiness in private life, with greater comfort, beauty or serenity. There may
be a strong interest in cultural or artistic work, such as music, art, theatre, fashion,
decoration or any occupation linked to the combination of beauty and fantasy. A time
to marvel at the gifts of life and be grateful for what we have. Loving others is the key
that opens many doors.

VENUS t TRINE PLUTO n

It can provide a creative activity, of an artistic or musical nature. There is the -
possibility of revealing an issue that was hidden in one's relationship, whether it be

191
sentimental, social or artistic, and that needs to be remedied or healed. Sexual desire
is now intensified and anyone you meet during this time will be someone you feel an
intense attraction to. In fact, she represents the inner side of the psyche, which needs
to manifest itself through a loving relationship. Some lucky perception may appear to
carry out some business in the artistic field, perhaps with some risk. Interest in
exchanging old items for new ones, renovating, restoring old things, or finding new
uses for things that are discarded. The transit of Pluto trine natal Venus is much more
significant than the transit of Venus trine natal Pluto, taking into account the slowness
of Pluto, and it marks the beginning of a new stage in emotional life, with the -
possibility that a new personality may emerge from an old one. Now a skill begins to
emerge that allows us to appreciate new things at different levels of life. Feelings are
often stronger, perhaps less conscious, and act somewhat compulsively. It is a period
that is characterized by a powerful attraction towards the opposite sex; it can be the
beginning of a strong romantic, sexual or marital relationship. If feelings are hurt by
the loss of a loved one or a deep crisis occurs in the family environment, now you can
be of great help because you will act with more serenity, poise and understanding.
Intense and romantic emotional experience; vehement desire for possessiveness and
joining as a couple. Feelings that have been buried in the past may surface again to be
examined once again or released. Social life is enhanced through contact with a wide
variety of people or groups involved in art, culture, music or community work.
Business matters, such as insurance, inheritance or company money, are also
favoured.

VENUS t OPPOSITION VENUS n

Difficulty expressing or accepting love. Although this transit is fast and without
much significance, difficulties may arise with a loved one, if you do not come to an
agreement. If a business deal must be closed under this aspect, it is better to postpone
it for another day because even if it is carried out, the result will be disadvantageous.
This day is not good for doing heavy tasks either, apart from the fact that you will try
to do as little as possible. There may be excessive social activity resulting in rather
sensual behavior or where there is too much spending. You may also find that at a
social gathering you may need to be in contact with people you do not normally deal
with. Courtesy and affection help to maintain balance with others and to feel joy.
There may be reckless or costly spending, sometimes on art objects or entertainment.
If circumstances force you to separate from a loved one, do not let emotional barriers
appear now. The meeting or fun you planned may not go as expected. You may feel
unwilling to talk, impolite, so try to be more considerate of others.

VENUS t OPPOSITION MARS n

Passionate attitude, with strong desires for affection, with joy and self-satisfaction,
although this can lead to reckless excesses or to committing impulsive acts. Romantic
relationships are likely to be based on the need for sexual contact. In fact, this aspect
stimulates sexual energy or other creative energy. When the energy of the ego (Mars)

193
is prevented from manifesting through the desired object (Venus), conflict occurs. If
the relationship is not sexual with the opposite sex, difficulties may arise. Conflict
almost always stems from the selfish nature of one of the parties. Tendency to be
selfish or likelihood of dealing with selfish people in sentimental, marital, sexual or
business relationships. Sexual incompatibility or sexual aggression can be a problem.
It is not advisable to make an effective commitment until you have verified the true
intentions, if the relationship began with this transit. Later you may have to regret a
foolish adventure with an unsuitable person. Jealousy and strong emotional reactions
often occur frequently. The transit of Mars in opposition to natal Venus has the same
meaning as the transit of Venus in opposition to natal Mars; however, it is of longer
duration, depending on the speed of Mars, which can be stationary, retrograde or
direct. This period means having difficulties in sentimental and sexual relationships, -
because there is a need to gratify the ego (Mars) rather than a desire for love (Venus)
and true companionship. Sexual desire is used as a means to impose oneself on the
other, releasing the physical tension that is part of sexual desire, but it lacks the true
affection that satisfies the emotional need, hence the conflict between the two. People
of the opposite sex with whom you have contact, whether for social, sexual or simply
emotional reasons, are not appropriate or are not satisfactory, due to your
temperament and needs. The tension produced by this aspect in people with creative
activity can also be released through some artistic or craft work. If you are unable to
make love to someone you desire, this energy may lead you to act with some cruelty
or anger towards that person.

VENUS t OPPOSITION JUPITER n

It is not an important influence, but it is not very favorable either; it is generally an
annoying, bothersome and sterile contact. It gives a certain tendency to extravagance,
to commit excesses in food, drink or sex. In business, too, people can exaggerate or
believe they have something they cannot obtain. If done in moderation, this contact
can still be positive. There is often a tendency toward indolence, to procrastinate and
to try to evade responsibilities or avoid work in order to dedicate oneself to more
pleasurable and unproductive activities. A need may arise to collaborate in some
educational, cultural, religious or legal activity. If you go shopping, you will tend to
spend more than you should and if you receive a gift, a favor or a reward, it will not
be of as much value as expected. With this transit it is better to strive for something
but with modesty, tranquility and gratitude. By being polite and tolerant of others, it is
possible to gain their support and even establish a pleasant relationship if other
testimonies coincide and are of longer duration. Travel at this time may be more
expensive than previously thought. Transiting Jupiter opposite natal Venus has the
same meaning as transiting Venus opposite natal Jupiter; however, since it lasts
longer, as Jupiter makes this aspect to Venus approximately every twelve years, its
effects indicate a period of extravagance and excessive expansion. It announces a
difficult period for emotional relationships: loved ones may be susceptible, easily

19
4
offended or very worried or busy. In a love relationship this opposition indicates that
one of the parties demands more freedom (Jupiter) while the other is more possessive
(Venus), hence the conflict. Tendency to spend more than necessary, to squander
money, because there is a need to be prodigal. A predisposition to carelessness and
lack of attention is possible. It can lead to overindulgence, overindulgence in food -
especially high-fat, overly sweet desserts and drinks - so there is a strong possibility
of weight gain, so a diet avoiding such ingredients may be necessary.

VENUS t OPPOSITION SATURN n

With this transit, social obligations can produce tensions and stress, either because
one believes that one is not loved or appreciated as one should be or because one is
not attractive and is left aside. There may be a state of emotional depression, a feeling
of loneliness or a lack of emotional fulfillment. There may be a love that is not
reciprocated. A romantic relationship can be daunting because the price is too high
and sometimes you are not willing to take on the responsibility that the relationship
entails. The emotional state of one of the two is pessimistic, cold, worried and selfish.
However, it is important to remember that this transit lasts a very short time, so unless
there are other indications, these feelings will be short-lived. Given the nature of the
two planets, it indicates a conflict between the sense of duty and discipline (Saturn)
and the desire to enjoy pleasure or have relationships with others (Venus); this -
produces resentment. In such cases, the best thing to do is to try to smile and resign
yourself, remembering the saying “make the best of it when things get tough,”
because otherwise, the pleasure will be somehow impeded. Sometimes, obligations to
family, friends or loved ones put emotional pressure on us. Tendency to act in a bad
mood, sometimes in a rude or clumsy manner. The same goes for lack of hygiene:
certain personal care is necessary for skin, hair, nails and teeth. Transiting Saturn
opposite natal Venus has the same meaning as transiting Venus opposite natal Saturn;
however, it takes much longer, occurring every 29 years, and is more oppressive,
restrictive, and burdensome. This is an unfavorable time for the emotional side; this
aspect rarely goes by without some painful event, be it the death of a loved one or
separation from someone you love. New friendships made at this time are likely to
bring more grief or sorrow into your life than pleasure or benefit. This contact of
Saturn with Venus indicates that the need for relationships with the opposite sex is in
strong conflict with the need to feel secure as a mature and individual person. This
contact generates a sense of separateness and isolation, even in the presence of loved
ones. In these cases, it is essential to determine what your own rights and obligations
are and those of your spouse, because it is possible that the difficulties caused by the
tension are the result of a transgression in this regard. It is said that this contact often
has to do with a “karmic relationship”, which is difficult to break but with which it is
possible to balance past actions. If one simply avoids this conflict, one will later find
another very similar relationship and so on and so forth until one fully lives one's

195
destiny. In this, we could say that Saturn is relentless. This aspect is particularly bad
for actors, artists and musicians because their work will not be satisfactory; they will
not attract an audience and their efforts are unlikely to be successful.

VENUS t OPPOSITION URANUS n

This contact is an unconventional and erratic influence. Emotions are very active
and you may meet someone who turns out to be very interesting, although it is not
advisable to take this relationship too seriously because this influence is capricious
and when you think that the relationship is gaining ground, the opposite happens, it is
very likely that everything will come to nothing. Sudden or unforeseen things may
also happen, so it is best not to plan too rigidly in case plans change or do not happen.
In a love relationship, one of the parties may seek freedom from the restrictions
imposed, so this produces tension and sudden disruptions. However, this transit is not
a serious influence, unless there are other astrological testimonies of greater
importance. There is a desire for the eccentric, for the unconventional, so you will
seek out something that is really exciting: meeting other different people or having
some kind of adventure. Difficulties arise when one clings to habits or old structures
and fears or resists the new experiences indicated by Uranus. The transit of Uranus in
opposition to natal Venus has a similar meaning to the transit of Venus in opposition
to natal Uranus, however, as it lasts much longer it indicates an important period in
one's emotional life as well as in one's social life. Someone whose way of being is
quite unusual or independent and who will have a strong impact on your feelings may
enter your life or it may be someone you loved in the past who now appears again. If
the relationship already existed, one of the parties may question making a significant
change or demanding more freedom. A breakup is possible if he becomes rigid or
possessive. You may also begin to feel bored and look for a new relationship to
provide the excitement you feel is lacking. New relationships or unconventional love
affairs formed during this time do not last long, are completely unstable and can
disrupt your life. Sometimes the person who appears is very different in age or culture
and may also be a separated or divorced person. This is actually a good time to enjoy
adventure, but the future is uncertain. Try to be guided by reason and sound judgment
and do not let your feelings get the better of you. The artistic or musical activity may
be carried out with remarkable taste and originality, although the public's acceptance
of the work may not be easy in this era, perhaps because it is considered too
advanced, strange or innovative. There may also be a lot of spending on clothing,
comfort items, or entertainment.

VENUS t OPPOSITION NEPTUNE n

This is a rather deceptive influence, which tends to produce very peculiar
emotional, psychic states. The people you meet while this aspect is in motion are also

19
6
likely to exert a very subtle influence on you. Although this transit is fast, you should
be careful because its tendency is rather false and cannot be trusted. You may now be
vulnerable to making mistakes and acting out of confusion. Someone may break their
word or humiliate you, lie to you, or act in ways that make you anxious. You may also
encounter someone who acts incompetently, exaggerates, or is in some way weak or
sick. There may be deception in romantic relationships or being mistaken about who
you like; there may also be unshared romantic attraction, so it is not a good time to
start a relationship. This aspect also involves self-deception; under this stimulus,
many people let themselves be carried away by their emotions. The point is not to
deceive, to pay attention and not to be guided by your feelings during this contact. It
is better to wait until other aspects of a more objective nature appear and observe how
one feels then. Much depends on how Neptune is in the natal chart; if other aspects
are good, this opposition can indicate a strong and profound influence on the
emotional side. The transit of Neptune in opposition to natal Venus has the same
meaning as the transit of Venus in opposition to natal Neptune, but since it lasts a year
or a little longer, including its stationary, retrograde and direct positions, it indicates a
dangerous period with regard to deceptions and disappointments in love. Your attitude
or that of your partner may be unrealistic and illusory regarding the relationship. Able
to create a beautiful image in his imagination or idealize someone and pretend that the
person he loves fits that image. Also being attracted to a very peculiar, fascinating but
totally unstable situation, where there is an emotional dependence and feeling
exhausted, anxious, disoriented or rejected. Disillusionment and heartbreak are the
outcome, when the romantic spell has passed and the truth about the relationship
becomes clear. Something similar happens in a commercial society, where there may
be a lack of communication, mistrust and even a lack of honesty, or doing something
without the other person knowing. Regarding a new relationship that is formed during
this transit, you should be wary and allow some time to pass until you are sure that the
idealistic and credulity stage has passed. From another point of view, it is an excellent
time to devote oneself to painting, decorating, music, dancing or any other aesthetic
activity. It is advisable to avoid drugs, alcohol, ambiguous promises or promotional
plans.

VENUS t OPPOSITION PLUTO n

This is not a good time to employ underhanded or hidden tactics to manipulate
others. Jealousy and difficulty in managing sexual desires can also cause problems.
Under somewhat unusual circumstances, a stranger may seek your company or you
may feel strongly attracted to someone you know is not right for you. In any case,
there is a special need to proceed loyally in any kind of relationship; it is also true that
this contact can lead to indiscretions, lack of consideration for the feelings of others or
extramarital love affairs. A social event may also require your important collaboration
on this day, or you may find out that a group of people is plotting something. It is best

197
not to decide now to take sides for something or someone, and try to keep your
feelings as calm as possible. Also, do not allow hidden resentments or tensions to
surface that could harm the relationship. It is a dangerous time for an emotional
relationship if he acts unconsciously or if he does not want to delve into the
fundamental causes of his attitude. From this point of view, this transit can be very
favorable, since the energy will not act in a destructive way but will tend to produce a
constructive change in relationships. Transiting Pluto opposite natal Venus has the
same meaning as transiting Venus to natal Pluto; however, because of its slow
motion, it indicates a period of a year or more when your feelings will be really tested.
Family or marital relationships may be subject to serious tensions that may require
you to yield, compromise or cooperate if you wish to maintain the union. In a
relationship, one of the two can be very possessive and jealous, allowing passionate
feelings and long-held resentments to surface. There is a danger of wanting to
dominate others or, on the contrary, being dominated by them, perhaps through sexual
gratification. If you meet someone of the opposite sex during this time, you will feel -
irresistibly drawn to them; this person will have a powerful effect on your life, either
for good or bad, so you better make sure it is for the better and this will depend on the
honesty of your feelings. But if the relationship predates this transit, it may now mean
the end of the relationship, because it is not able to withstand the subconscious
tensions that are acting. Sometimes with Pluto you win by losing and instead of
continuing to obsess over the idea of dominating others, of plotting, manipulating or
forcing others to submit to your will, perhaps it is time to ask yourself if it is worth
doing so. From a health perspective, it can mean skin irritations or infections that are
difficult to cure; it is best to go to the doctor immediately.

MARS t CONJUNCTION MARS n

The best way to manifest the energy of this transit is by doing a strong physical
activity or a sport that produces true satisfaction, otherwise, it can lead to having
aggressive behavior or acting with resentment. This transit increases the capacity for
initiative, competence, produces an increase in energy and intensifies material and
sexual desires. Much depends on how Mars is aspected in the natal chart, because if it
is poorly configured, the externalization of this energy - if it is not given the
opportunity to do so in a positive way, it can become negative - takes place through
accidents from a physical point of view, or through suffering aggression from others
that causes harm, from an emotional point of view. It is an exciting energy,
competitive, impatient, and lacking inner calm, so to control it it is best to act
prudently and with caution and diplomacy. On the other hand, it can be beneficial in
any manufacturing or construction task; for the handling of tools, machinery or heavy
equipment and in commercial activity to conduct business that has to do with these
things and even with insurance. If there are no other negative aspects in the natal

199
position, it is an excellent contact to start something new, to

20
0
moderation, this energy can be channeled constructively. A new sexual relationship at
this time can be exciting but very unconventional from a social point of view and will
not end as you thought or expected. There is a strong desire to become independent,
to free oneself from constraints or situations that have been tolerated until now but
which can no longer be tolerated. Need to be oneself and not what others want one to
be. An experience may begin or end abruptly, resulting in a definitive break with
certain people.

MARS t CONJUNCTION NEPTUNE n

This contact stimulates the imagination of emotional excitement that can tend
towards the erotic on the side of Mars or towards something macabre or sinister on
the side of Neptune. It produces excitement, vehemence, anger, rage, and can lead to
acts of violence and betrayal, whether from a physical, economic or spiritual point of
view. The problems that appear now are complex or dramatic and one may find
oneself involved in some conspiracy or trap. Vitality is low, so it is best not to exert
yourself physically because you may become ill due to a lack of defenses, making you
predisposed to infections. It is also not a good idea to take alcohol, drugs or
anesthetics at this time; it is not a good time to perform surgery and you should be
careful about food poisoning or medication mistakes. This conjunction awakens
emotions, sometimes with strange feelings. The imagination is very active, although it
is better to be sure of what you do during these days, because there is a predisposition
to do things based on illusions rather than on facts. It is better to postpone decisions or
actions until all the details are known. A covert or secret act may be carried out to
avoid confrontation or someone's disapproval. This is a contact that produces a defeat.
Caution must be exercised in any business proposal, and this may even be secret. It is
a good transit for any relationship that has to be made in hospitals, nursing homes,
prisons or other types of confinement institutions, as well as for carrying out activities
that help others at any level, in a selfless manner. Please note that Neptune is very
strict when it comes to ego denial (Mars), so it is unforgiving if you act selfishly. The
transit of Neptune in conjunction with natal Mars has the same meaning as the
previous one, but logically it is much broader in its effects. It is difficult to be
successful in your activities with this aspect now; your energy is waning and your
efforts are rather indifferent. Instead, try to cut your losses and, if possible, disengage
from any activity that might create difficulties. Probability of becoming involved in
shady, dishonest activities, running serious risks whose nature depends on the state of
natal Mars. You may be involved in matters related to narcotics, abortions, seduction,
harassment or homosexuality, with possible scandal and police intervention. This
contact may incite them to commit acts of cruelty that under normal circumstances are
not their nature. Your protection against all this is to have purity in your motivations.

20

MARS t CONJUNCTION PLUTO n
This is a compulsive force that seems to drive him in his activities and that makes
his will more evident. Because there is more willpower and it can even be aggressive
with this transit. It represents the explosion of ego energy that has no limits, and can
be violent if the aspects of natal Pluto are really inharmonious. Possibility of physical
accident. During these few days, you should try to avoid dangerous environments,
crowds or riots. There may also be a tendency to be compulsive with others or, on the
contrary, to become a victim of aggressive acts by others. You may suffer an assault if
other inharmonious contacts, especially by progression, are activated. From a more
positive point of view, it is an excellent transit for carrying out tasks that require
physical strength, for playing sports or standing out in a group activity, whether it be a
club, a political committee, a gang, a tournament, etc. Any specific change during this
time can have repercussions, with long-lasting results. If this energy is used to fight
for power issues, whatever they may be, there is a danger of serious ego conflicts. It is
a transit with a “shock” effect. The transit of Pluto conjunct natal Mars has the same
meaning as the transit of Mars conjunct natal Pluto, but because it lasts much longer -
a year or more - and is the only one in life that Pluto makes, its effects are more
marked and it indicates a period of drastic change. This transit brings about violent
contact that “forces” one to be hostile towards another person, for example, generally
against one’s usual way of being. Being badly aspected in the natal chart, the latent
criminal tendency may now surface or there may be a relationship with criminal or
extremist people. You may be the victim of circumstances or of someone who is
fighting against you. We must try to avoid negative environments, crowds or contact
with violent or compulsive people. However, this transit can also be useful for any
work that requires a lot of effort and will be more positive if this hard work is done
for the benefit of a group and not just for personal satisfaction. Your efforts can
influence others to improve their conditions and with the strength of your own
conviction you will have support to carry out a common goal.

MARS t CONJUNCTION NORTH NODE AND OPPOSITION

SOUTH NODE n
Positive use of energy for a new activity, and close relationship with a male
person. Sexual relations. There may be arguments about professional matters,
business, sports or physical activities. It can give vitality and is about bringing out or
highlighting something at this moment. There is a desire to “do something” and this
can be very strong; it stimulates and sometimes exaggerates sexual appetite. There
may be some other social activity where traditional values are defended or you may
have to fight to maintain them. The transit of the North Node conjunct natal Mars or
the South Node opposite natal Mars has the same meaning as the transit of Mars
conjunct the North Node or opposite the natal South Node; however, it is longer

20
6
lasting and indicates a period of strong cultural activity.

MARS t CONJUNCTION SOUTH NODE AND OPPOSITION

NORTH NODE n
The South Node stimulates the passion and sensuality of Mars. It can give you -
moments of moving forward with passion and others of retreating. Action and fear
mix and need to be balanced. First comes action, then fear. Opposition to the North
Node can produce unpopularity in professional, business, and political matters. Lack
of public support, due to the traditional or popular nature of the Nodes. The transit of
the South Node conjunct natal Mars and the transit of the North Node opposite natal
Mars has the same meaning as the transit of Mars conjunct the North Node and
opposing the South Node; however, it lasts longer and indicates a period of
unpopularity in the native's contacts, whether of a social, commercial or political
nature.

MARS t CONJUNCTION ASC AND OPPOSITION DESC n

This transit can make you more active and aggressive; energetic and firm, but also
competitive with other people of the same level. There is a possibility that you may
have to take the initiative in relation to your work. which may have a favorable start.
But if there are other aspects acting to produce obstacles and difficulties, it is possible
that you may become seriously angry, feel resentful or easily offended. As long as
you respect the feelings of others and do not try to dominate them - which is one of
the dangers of this transit - there will be no disputes or fights; on the contrary, this
transit can be very positive and even successful in efforts that are made together with
other people. If not, this contact is very likely to cause conflict. On the other hand, it
gives vitality, although if it is poorly aspected with other planets there is the
possibility of accident or illness, due to its tendency to bloodshed and cuts with sharp
instruments or tools. It is also good to avoid too much physical effort because there is
a need to expend energy or release it in an excitable way. If you can choose a date for
a surgical operation, it is best to let this transit pass. The head or the part of the body
ruled by the sign position of Mars is a cause for concern. In a boy, this appearance
may induce scarlet fever or measles.

MARS t CONJUNCTION MC and OPPOSITION IC n

Here, Mars is more harmonious, as it allows you to develop your ambition to
achieve things. There is a chance to work harder, better and be recognized, especially
if you have already built a good name for yourself. This is a contact that works better
on an individual level, rather than on a group level! Hence, it is better to work
independently or in isolation, because the need now is to strengthen the strength of the

20
7
ego. In your profession or occupation, dynamic action may now be related to matters
that have to do with carrying out difficult, hard tasks, risky but enterprising and
innovative work. It relates to people linked to metal work, engineering, police or
military fields. There may also be serious conflicts with those who try to "undermine"
you, so it is best to be careful not to act impulsively or recklessly, taking things
calmly. On the other hand, if Mars receives inharmonious aspects from other planets,
this position may indicate a conflict with parents, at home, or with people who have
authority over the native, such as his own employer. Also, there may be a young man
- whose description corresponds to the sign position of Mars - who is the reason for
conflict with one's professional career. A great look for someone looking to enter
military school, the fire department, or the police force.

MARS t CONJUNCTION DESC AND OPPOSITION ASC n

This transit is characterized by a state of conflict with other people; it means the
action of open enemies, confrontations and conflicts that can become physical, in
extreme cases. There is someone who opposes you, so it is likely that during these
days when its effects last there will be a stubborn and defiant attitude from a person
who does not appreciate you. Even good relationships in marriage or a business
partnership can be hampered or complicated because one of you tries to dominate the
other. A more positive way to release this energy is to come to an agreement so that
both partners can take constructive action and make decisions together; that is, neither
of them wants to be in the background. Another way to transmute these energies is by
practicing sports, especially those that allow you to face an opponent; in this way, the
competitive attitude manifests itself on a personal level. As with the conjunction with
ASC, there is a predisposition to accidents involving others or to contagious illness. If
other unfavorable aspects act at the same time, it can produce violence and conflictual
relationships with the male sex. A tendency to suffer accident, harm, abuse, or theft
through another person.

MARS t CONJUNCTION IC AND OPPOSITION MC n

The dynamic action of Mars, in this case, manifests itself through domestic -
conditions, activating everything that relates to the home and heritage. This is a good
time to undertake a project that will improve the house where you live. If you live
with your parents, you may not get along with them or you may have problems with
someone in the family who does not agree with what you want; if you live alone, it is
not a good time to share your home with someone, especially if Mars is poorly
aspected and while it is transiting the IV House. From a psychological point of view,
there may be a strong emotional reaction at an unconscious level, produced by
childhood conditions, or reactivating a memory that makes him aggressive or
defensive. Your professional work may be hindered or your business may have -
problems; there are impediments or obstacles that are difficult to manage in reaching

20
8
an agreement or in carrying out what you have planned. It can also mean the
completion of a job. This is because the energies are turned inward, towards oneself
or towards the home, instead of tending outward or towards the external world.
However, it is better for these tensions to come to the surface rather than remain
repressed; it is an opportunity to get to the root of an issue and seek a solution. In
some cases, it produces a conflict between home and professional responsibilities.
This transit can mean accidents at home, so it is necessary to be cautious and take
safety measures. We must not be careless.

MARS t SQUARE MARS n

With this transit, you will feel burdened with energy that you must properly
release in order to avoid difficulties. The behavior can be aggressive, impulsive and it
is advisable to be alert, because it easily tends to arguments, anger, fights and
confrontations that can even lead to physical action. Impatience leads to dangerous
actions and excessive efforts. This excess energy would be best used to perform hard
physical work, construction work, make repairs, etc., taking care when handling tools,
machinery or sharp instruments. There is a possibility of an accident, depending on
the severity of the other contacts involved; health can also be affected if too much
energy is used. Tendency to have fevers or infections. With this transit you may
encounter someone who may get angry with you or with whom you may argue, and in
this case, the best thing you can do is try to be patient and defend yourself as much as
you see fit. Unbridled sexual impulses can lead to problems. If impulsive behavior is
controlled, this period can be good for hard or heavy work that requires strength and
determination, but not for work where attention to detail or performing it with a
certain skill or finesse is essential. The way you respond to this transit will give you a
good indication of the state of your ego.

MARS t SQUARE JUPITER n

The activity may now become exaggerated or show extravagance. This contact
gives energy to undertake something, enthusiasm and a strong creative impulse. In a

21
6
woman's letter it shows difficulty through relationships with men. Whether you are
careless or a gambler, in both cases there is a risk of losing money through theft,
extravagance or simple imprudence. This transit requires moderation and caution,
because the temptation to do something unusual and incongruous is great. Risk-taking
can lead to accidents at this time, so be prepared. In legal, professional, religious or
educational matters, one must act with discretion and patience, because there is a
tendency to act impulsively in these activities, in a despotic or pretentious manner.
Likewise, caution should be exercised when doing business with foreigners or those -
living abroad. There is a propensity to become involved or interested in matters that
are not ethical. There is a certain need to make more money, but also the inclination to
want to spend more money, energy and time. Temptation to buy something you don't
need or pay too much for what you want. It is not a good time to buy a car, a house or
rent an apartment. Generally, both buying and selling during this period are later
unsatisfactory. Transiting Jupiter square natal Mars is similar in its effects to
transiting Mars square natal Jupiter; however, this contact is longer lasting, occurring
twice in Jupiter's 12-year cycle. It is a period of tension but also expansiveness for
feelings and emotions. He tends to be extravagant, to not take care of money and
sometimes to have losses from a financial point of view, although also due to theft or
fire. Having control over what you do can be helpful, as it gives you a lot of
confidence and entrepreneurial spirit. However, it is necessary to be cautious and not
take risks because there is now a strong predisposition to accidents. Too much
indulgence in food and drink, which needs to be controlled because it produces
disorders in the liver or blood. In both business and professional life, expansion may
require great effort now; obstacles arise and good ideas are lacking. Dishonesty and -
underhanded dealings can also be part of the activity; legal matters are risky. A sports
competition or a gambling meeting can end in a brawl. If any danger appears in your -
environment, you will be lucky and protected as long as you remain calm, tolerant and
discreet.
MARS t SQUARE SATURN n
Mars is the new and Saturn represents the old, hence this contact means a change
through the breaking of old patterns or impediments. It can also mean explosive
action, so to reduce the power of aggression, you must pay more attention to routine
obligations, proceeding slowly and cautiously. It means emotional pressure and
negative moods, so during this period it is advisable to try to relax. It is a contact that
generally produces frustrations in activities and emotional irritability, since efforts are
usually hindered, which is why one must fight against the impediments, looking for a
way out. Mars signifies the ability to resist or repel; it signifies strength and vigor, the
desire for quick and bold action, but Saturn frustrates, restrains, cools the enthusiasm
of Mars, so that now you do not know whether to use force or to hold back, hence
your confusion. The result may be an outburst against everything that holds him or
her down. Desires for revenge and a tendency to brood over injustices. Sometimes
fear also plays a role, preventing us from being more effective. Problems with people
in authority, with parents; this contact makes him irritable, although reluctant to show

217
his anger openly. What needs to be done in this case is to try to face the problem head
on, with impudence, strengthening the aggressive or positive side of nature. We must
not try to initiate important things because over time defects, failures, resentments and
even tragedies will arise. Transit Saturn square natal Mars is similar to transit Mars
square natal Saturn; however, it is stronger, due to the slowness of Saturn, which can
make two such contacts every 29 years, which is its cycle. This is a testing period that
requires patience, self-discipline and courage. The things you want the most are
blocked and take a long time to come out; it produces conflicts with others and if the
situation is not handled well, it is very likely that you will be the loser. This transit
can affect work but also family life. It can mean sudden losses, accidents, and even
death. Avoid bitter and depressive feelings, revenge and cruelty, do not be abusive or
unkind. Nor should you be discouraged by the failures you experience that directly
affect your ambitions. If you must fight someone, carefully calculate your position,
not only because of the danger you are in but also because of the price you may have
to pay. Regarding health, you have to be careful of falls, sharp tools, and weapons.
Tendency to bone fracture, high blood pressure (especially in older people) or other
cardiovascular problems. This aspect is also associated with arthritis and hardening of
the arteries.

to respect behavior at home and the anger that can result in serious conflicts. You are
also likely to feel more self-confident in what you do, with a desire to work hard and
carry out those plans that for one reason or another have been postponed; the same
goes for tackling a problem that you previously rejected. This is the best way to
release this energy and not repress it so that it “explodes” in another way. You may
also have to accept difficult or manual work due to circumstances. There is a struggle
between domestic obligations and personal interests. Disharmony with one of the
parents. Minor differences can lead to fights and disunity in the family; arguments
over property rights. Health problems through obstruction of vitality, through
weakness or inactivity. Possible skin rashes or tooth infections.

MARS t TRINE MARS n

This harmonious contact of Mars increases physical vitality, strengthens health
and gives more self-confidence. This is an excellent transit for handling matters that
need to be handled promptly and skillfully; for taking the initiative and starting a new
project. It is also very good for removing any impediment or making headway and
achieving the desired opportunity. Physical exercises and sports are stimulating; in

22
3
competitive matters or gambling issues, the chances of winning are good. It is a good
period to do work that requires physical effort or the use of tools or machinery. The
activity now can be creative, with physical vitality and the ability to command others,
because it implies that, without being very aggressive, you are willing to work hard or
fight for what you want. The odds are good, so it's best not to waste the moments you
have to test your abilities.

MARS t TRINE JUPITER n

This is precisely the time to act or do. You now feel a strong and cheerful
optimism with which you can handle your affairs very well. Work improves, there is
progress, action tends to be favorable because there is so-called “good luck,” although
in reality, this happens because you act expansively, with enthusiasm and self-
confidence, in addition to having an internal perception that predisposes or helps you
to be successful in business or in your occupation. For this same reason, it is an
excellent transit to process legal matters or carry out projects related to
improvements in the educational, religious or cultural fields. It is an energy to succeed
in what you undertake, to overcome and prosper. It means a good time to start a
business or open your doors; to buy a car. An employee may have a salary increase.
Now is the time when you can create new opportunities for yourself, and if you have
any doubts, take a risk that you don't know how it will turn out; this is a good time to -
do so. Jupiter protects and attracts everything that will benefit you and enable you to
grow. The trine of transiting Jupiter to natal Mars is similar in meaning to the trine of
transiting Mars to natal Jupiter; however, it is a longer period of expansion through
constructive action. You will try to put in different efforts to earn more money, get a -
promotion or achieve a distinction. It's a good time to ask for a raise, push for a loan
payment or launch a product on the market. A currency exchange house can increase
your income. It is possible to receive a profit from an investment or have a financial
increase. From a personal point of view, you tend to be very active; it will be
important for you to achieve your goals honestly, within ethical standards. It is also a
good transit for prospering, negotiating or starting a business, as well as clarifying or
resolving personal disagreements or differences. You will now find it easier to
convince another person of your honesty or the rightness of your motives. If there is a
legal action at this time, the dispute will be resolved favorably for you. Likewise. If
you have to take some risks for various reasons, you are lucky to be protected. For a
woman, this transit usually coincides with an easy and positive birth.

MARS t TRINE SATURN n

Tendency to have self-control to handle difficult or hard jobs because you pay
attention and care to the details to do things well. This is a favorable period for
successfully achieving a practical goal; it grants patience and good will to carry out a

224
demanding task, which requires skill and concentration. Now he has enough stamina
to take on a difficult task that he was unable to do before. If there is any other
difficulty you are going through, this transit ensures that for now you will be able to
deal with the situation with practical efficiency, no matter how difficult it may be.
Mars at this time is capable of opening a gap in the stagnant conditions that have been
holding you down. It can also be a good time to make repairs to a property. Mars
gives energy and even a desire to work on dirty tasks, such as cleaning drains,
throwing away or burning garbage, etc. As he is determined by his own convictions
and firm determinations, he is not influenced by the sympathy of others or by other
flattering considerations. You will have the favor of your superiors and may even
receive a reward for your dedication, care and responsibility at work. Transit of
Saturn trine natal Mars is similar in meaning to transit of Mars trine natal Saturn;
however, it lasts longer and signals a period of practical achievements through
responsible activity, hard work and good organization. It is a time of having
controlled energy that needs to be applied constructively or to carry out something
that is lasting, a job that requires precision and whose effort is continuous and
concentrated. Saturn inhibits the natural aggressiveness of Mars, so with this transit
you will be more patient, considerate and even modest with others, being willing to
work slowly but persuasively towards your goals. Your sexual energy will even be
more controlled or subordinated to other, more far-reaching objectives. This time of
your life will not be very pleasant or charming, but your efforts may lead to a good
reward. It is also a favorable period to connect with people in authority or with
government officials. By using self-discipline and acting toward defined, concrete
goals, you have the opportunity to get ahead without having to clash or compete with
others.

MARS t TRINE URANUS n

While the conjunction of these two planets is exciting, where emotional control is
essential, the trine is less drastic and impulsive. Although this contact is also about
breaking down barriers in his or her life, he or she will do so without having to
destroy in an impulsive manner or without causing pain to others. The opportunity to
form a new friendship under unexpected circumstances or to receive a sudden
promotion in your field of activity presents itself. If you feel the need to make a
change, now is the time to make the decision because you are bold, enterprising and
inventive. It is also true that during this time you may be able to get rid of some
obstacles or be freed from obligations that prevented you from satisfying your desires
and you will be less abrupt in your way of achieving them. There is a tendency to take
risks even knowing that the consequences may be unpleasant. The result of these can
be something extraordinary if other natal or progressed contacts indicate the same. It
is an excellent transit to carry out work or business related to electronic or electrical -
scientific technology. Unexpected changes may also occur within your environment

22
5
and constructive action with friends, groups or organizations is likely. The transit of
Uranus trine natal Mars is similar in meaning to the transit of Mars trine natal Uranus;
however, it is of longer duration and thus signals a period of creative, original, and
dynamic activity. This transit occurs only twice in a lifetime. Great changes can
happen during this time, because the courage and determination of Mars combine
harmoniously with the ability and ingenuity of Uranus to find new methods or ways
of doing things. Situations that have frustrated your purposes now tend to ease up; it is
a good time to begin new tasks, relationships or to make decisions that involve
independence and undertaking something new. You yourself have other facets that
you didn't have before or that you didn't realize you had. Now he believes he can do
things he didn't think he could do before. This transit gives you the opportunity to
have more freedom of action, to manage your own life, to do what you want and not
be pressured by other people or circumstances. In a woman's chart, there is the
possibility of a new romance with a magnetic and exciting person she meets under
unexpected circumstances. Health problems that are urgent can perhaps be solved
through very modern treatments.

MARS t TRINE NEPTUNE n

This transit can mean a short vacation, on the Neptune side, or having to do a
secret or reserved job, on the Mars side.

In fact, this contact is one of the few that decreases the capacity for work or physical
energies. These are days when one does not feel like doing anything, rather they are
days of reluctance, with detachment from material things, so it is an excellent contact
to objectively consider what one is doing and why. This energy can be best expressed
in an activity whose main purpose is to help others or it can be pleasantly discharged
in the company of very special people, such as artists, poets, psychics, a “gay” friend,
etc. It is a favorable transit for dancers, musicians and photographers, as well as for
going fishing, sailing or any activity related to water. You may also be involved in
religious, charitable, spiritual or social action work. With people who do not fit your
ideals, you have no interest and even feel a certain discontent. In a female birth chart
there may be an opportunity for a romance with someone very sensitive, helpful and
charitable; perhaps a person with strong religious or esoteric convictions. But if
Nephrune is badly aspected, this person may be false, alcoholic, perhaps with some
handicap or in need of medical attention. Neptune is a creator of illusions, so with this
aspect one must also be careful of false expectations; for example, believing that one
is acting selflessly or that one is free from deception or trickery at that moment. The
transit of Neptune trine natal Mars is similar to the transit of Mars trine natal Neptune;
however, it lasts much longer and marks a period of a year or more, where creative
and imaginative faculties are at their peak. It is an unfavorable time to undertake bold
or risky business. However, areas related to public services, social welfare work, art,

226
music, theatre, can be successfully promoted. Do not be afraid if you do not find
satisfaction on a personal level, because now your activity will be more focused on
the needs of others. Now you will have a good opportunity to be less selfish or to -
work not only for yourself, in this way you will perfect and fine-tune your ego. A
latent ability to do spiritual healing, meditation, or other spiritual practices may
emerge. Interest in everything related to religious, mystical or spiritual activity. In
their own environment, someone may turn out to be evasive, lazy, or have some
strange trauma that somehow brings them worries or problems.

MARS t TRINE PLUTO n

The energy is heightened, so you can use it to make constructive changes in your
own attitudes, in your home or work environment; you can also use this energy to
eliminate non-essentials or get rid of discordant factors. In fact, you realize the need
to make certain changes and that you have a strong will to make them. This transit is
also characterized by a predisposition to act energetically within one's environment or
to be a bit of a leader in professional, sporting or business matters. It is an excellent
transit to make improvements in the scientific, technological or research field. As with
all Pluto transits, there is an opportunity to come into contact with a group. Even if
you are working for the good of a group or society in general at this time, forgetting a
little about yourself, it is possible that when Mars and Pluto combine in
disharmonious aspects, they will not produce too much loss or damage. It is a -
favorable time for self-development; for carrying out constructive hidden work; for
those who teach sports or practice sports or who require a lot of physical exercise. The
transit of Pluto trine natal Mars is similar in nature to the transit of Mars trine natal
Pluto; however, it is of much longer duration and indicates a period of a year or more
that will be one of dynamic and constructive action, with a marked improvement in
environmental conditions, in your career or in any other activity that is of personal
interest to you. The efforts you make can influence the people around you; with the
strength of your own convictions you can receive the help or cooperation of many
people. There is the ability to carry out multiple tasks with a large amount of work
and without rest. Ability to perform tasks that have to do with reconstruction, repair,
renovation or restoration, since Plutonian energy is fundamentally about regenerating
and Martian energy is about activating or executing. It may be a period in which you
employ mass media to achieve your intended goal and which leads to a better
development of your capabilities.
If you, on a personal level, have gone through a long period of frustration and
disbelief or if you feel disheartened, this period marks the resurgence of new energy
and vigor, of having confidence in yourself again.

MARS t OPPOSITION MARS n
It generally excites combative energies; under this aspect it is necessary to have
self-control, to act with diplomacy and caution. If Mars is afflicted in the birth chart,
minor accidents are likely to occur, especially if Mars afflicts Mercury, through
carelessness or imprudence. There may be aggressive and inconsiderate behavior,
whether provoked by oneself or by others, and the origin of which is due to a selfish
attitude of wanting to be in charge. There may be hostility, rejection or anger towards
someone, due to jealousy. Confrontations due to wanting to coerce or desire to
dominate others. You may need to share your success with someone and they cannot
tolerate this, or you may believe that someone has taken what is yours and then you
get angry. You may believe that only you deserve the success or reward, and while
that may be the case, you now have the opportunity to overcome your selfish nature.
It is an unfavorable transit if you want to obtain favors from people who have power
or authority, although it is also a matter of caution in your relationship with the
opposite sex; much depends on the way you handle your behavior in front of others. If
you act selflessly, forgetting about yourself, you may be able to achieve positive
things with this transit. Try to keep yourself busy, be determined and express your
energy in constructive work, play sports or release your sexual energy in a pleasant
way. Avoid dangerous situations or possible accidents; do not commit rash or
imprudent acts, especially if natal Mars is afflicted by Saturn or Uranus because there
is a greater probability of accidents, although this is not a rule either, unless other
planets inharmoniously aspect Mars, Saturn or Uranus. Be very careful when handling
weapons, sharp instruments, tools or machines. Sometimes, if other factors coincide,
this aspect means arrest or contact with the police.

MARS t OPPOSITION JUPITER n

Mane stimulates the exuberance or abundance of Jupiter, but through this aspect
of tension it can induce exaggerated action, extravagant behavior, or overspending.
The mental attitude tends to lack control and, without being fully aware of what one is
doing, one's actions may be foolish or foolish. If you feel that circumstances are
holding you back or restraining you in some way, your tendency now may be
impulsive and your actions may reach extremes, without thinking about the cost.
From another point of view, it indicates heavy spending, making unsatisfactory
purchases, having losses, theft and the inclination to take financial risks. Tendency to
be overconfident and to make promises that are not kept. With this transit it is not
advisable to gamble for money, unless Jupiter or Venus by transit or progression
indicate otherwise. Mental or physical fatigue due to overdoing it can lead to an
accident. However, if one is aware of what one is doing and has sufficient self-
control, this contact can be successful and even lucky. It represents the culmination of
a cycle that began when Mars made the conjunction to Jupiter and this means that the

22
9
efforts that began to expand an activity now reach a critical and decisive point. Try
not to feel resentment or anger if something impedes your freedom of action.
Transiting Jupiter in opposition to natal Mars is similar in its effects to transiting Mars

230
surprising situations. There may be a confrontation with the police, and if the birth
chart so indicates, the possibility of prison. Avoid circumstances that lead you to act
in an illegal manner; do not engage in speculation or undertake activities where there
is a high percentage of risk, because it is very likely that you will lose or fail. In your
profession or business, or in your personal life, there is a predisposition toward
avoidance, confusion, or incompetence. It is a period where physical energies
decrease and where lack of will grows, producing a crisis in terms of self-confidence.
Diseases such as exhaustion and anemia are characteristic, as is a tendency to
infections as a result of a lack of defenses. By maintaining an attitude of righteousness
and integrity in body and soul you can avoid the possibility of harmful and evil effects
that are now present. Try not to waste your energy; keep your own idealistic vision
and try creative action.

MARS t OPPOSITION PLUTO n

During these few days there may be a confrontation with someone or serious
arguments over money issues. You may be involved in a conflict in the struggle for
power and you need to be careful if you try to control others, because a physical
confrontation is possible. In group activities, whether a club, committee, union, sports
team, etc., there may be revolt, little cooperation, or ill will. You may try to coerce
others and this produces conflict, or you may feel coerced and should try to avoid it.
Do not make decisions on your own, try to get help or support from other people.
Mars may represent the police officer trying to stop you or it may represent an
intruder breaking in, stealing or killing, depending on the severity of other factors in -
progress or in transit. Avoid situations that could be dangerous; try not to anger others
so that they do not react against you. From a positive point of view, this transit
represents an energetic and constructive action through the collaboration of many
other people; it may be the culmination of a great effort that began with the
conjunction of these planets approximately 15 months before or, on the contrary,
having to abandon the project due to the violence or cruelty of the circumstances.
Transiting Pluto opposite natal Mars has the same meaning as transiting Mars -
opposite natal Pluto; however, it lasts much longer and indicates a period of great
tension, violence, or danger. Given the intensity of these energies on an emotional
level, it is difficult, although not impossible, to manage. It can awaken in the
individual an aggressive or combative rage for someone or something that he has lost
and that is valuable to him. It can provoke an attack against society, considering or
imagining that a real injustice has been committed. Predisposition to accidents;
attracts aggression or attacks from other people. Tendency to be irritable from time to
time, to get angry without understanding why, so you should try to avoid arguments.
From a constructive point of view, you may have to work with a group for the welfare
of the people or have to bring about great changes around you; this will do you a lot
of good. Try to avoid getting entangled in underhanded or malicious tactics, do not

234
associate with subversive, suspicious, unscrupulous or socially destructive people. On
the contrary, try to get other people to work with you to achieve group efforts and not
personal ones. In this way, you will transform your ego and feel like a new being.
There may be a strong sexual tendency, either excessively lustful or totally repressive.
In relation to health, it may be a time of ulcers or of having to undergo surgery to
deepen, clean or extract, in order to cure.

This transit indicates a marked period of expansion, with a more generous and
tolerant attitude towards others which, if it is also optimistic, broadens your horizons
and makes you confident. This contact occurs every 12 years and means the beginning
of a cycle of growth, development and expansion of plans or opportunities that
increases personal prestige and influence. Personal matters are handled more easily
and even some important ambitions can be realized with this aspect. Legal matters
and also publications can be very successful, provided this conjunction has good
radical or progressed aspects, otherwise it can give false or exaggerated expectations
both in these and in anything else. Seriously consider changing jobs now, especially if
you are dissatisfied with your current position. Try to make efforts to improve both
from a personal point of view and in your interests; do not remain passive or self-
indulgent; rather be alert to attract to you the conditions that you need in your life.
Evi-

236
On a large scale, sales promotion, financial business, tend to expand. At this time,
important people with authority or power may also appear in your life, so dealing with
them will be beneficial or very helpful. The reasons or circumstances that previously
prevented their freedom may also disappear. It is an excellent transit to carry out in-
depth studies on metaphysics, parapsychology, cybernetics. medicine or those that
have to do with philosophy, religion or law. This transit can occur twice, although it
usually only happens once in a lifetime.

JUPITER t SEXTILE NORTH NODE

AND TRIGONE SOUTH NODE
It is a lucky contact in any personal encounter or meeting with other people.
Indicates social success. It is an aspect that allows you to release tensions and even
gives you a certain ability to make others happy. From a worldly point of view there
is more interest in cultural traditions, an attitude towards what is popular or
fashionable. Generally, this transit brings abundance and optimism. The transit of the
North Node in sextile to natal Jupiter and the transit of the South Node in trine to
natal Jupiter has the same meaning as the transit of Jupiter in sextile to the North
Node and in trine to the South Node; however, it is of longer duration and thus its
effects are more important. The family may be increased as a result of a marriage or a
birth. Any kind of partnership now proves to be advantageous.

JUPITER t SEXTILE SOUTH NODE AND TRIGONE NORTH

NODE n
This transit has the same meaning as the previous one, although the emphasis is on
the North Node, because it is in trine with Jupiter. In this way, optimism and self-
confidence increase; this transit awakens generosity and tolerance towards others.
Inspiration to develop the spiritual side of life may also manifest. Jupiter always
expands matters related to the house where the Nodes are located, so that they grow
and develop. The transit of the South Node in sextile to natal Jupiter as well as the
transit of the North Node in trine to natal Jupiter is similar in nature to the transit of
Jupiter in sextile to the South Node or in trine to the North Node; however, it is
slower in its movement and lasts longer, so it indicates a period of harmonious
coexistence, good cultural action, social success and happy contacts with others in
general.

JUPITER t SQUARE NEPTUNE n
Jupiter and Neptune are similar in many ways and this contact can increase the
spiritual side of life or, on the contrary, produce a lot of confusion regarding religious
or spiritual concepts, bringing about a crisis or dissolution in them. This depends on
each person's mental and spiritual level. You will now be put to the test to prove that
your ideals are not a product of your fantasy. Mystical or religious matters may be -
misleading; psychic help is neither real nor convenient; revelations from beyond may
be exaggerated, etc. False optimism or credulity may cause you to make serious
mistakes, taking too many risks. Be careful if you make a business deal now and
make sure everything is correct and in good condition. In business, legal or financial
matters there is a possibility of incompetence, inefficiency or deceit; it is best to
postpone any decision in this regard during this month of influence. It is not a good
time to sign important documents without the help of a lawyer. Your best attitude is to
maintain your faith in your own moral ideals, being careful of those people who seek
your confidence and inspiration. Try not to undertake any project at hand, especially
advertising or promotion, that promises great benefits; keep your feet on the ground
now. The transit of Neptune square natal Jupiter is similar in meaning to the transit of
Jupiter square natal Neptune; however, it lasts much longer and indicates a period of
much emotional escapism, more so than the previous one, and with self-deception.
His judgment or discernment, as well as his sense of proportion, is clouded. In
addition, addiction to alcohol, drugs and stimulants can be a real problem. There may
also be exaggerated expectations, sudden disappointments, loss of optimism,
impractical idealism, or you may be attracted to false prophets or psychic phenomena.
Tendency to suffer heavy losses of money through speculation, risk or gambling.
Investment opportunities are poor; projects offered are utopian; the value of purchases
is not proportional to the money spent. Generosity motivated by expansive feelings
can be misused. Attraction to the weaker; tendency to want to help or be charitable to
others; this can be one of the best ways to release this energy. A person who tends
towards selfishness and personal pride can be transformed through the influence of
this transit, because it can put him under circumstances of "humiliation." Protect
yourself from deception by manifesting your highest ideals through a religious or -
philosophical attitude. Poverty of judgment and lack of concrete reality make it easy
to fall prey to deception by others. Irresponsibility complicates matters

25

JUPITER t SQUARE NORTH NODE AND SOUTH NODE n
There may be conflicts with brothers-in-law. Loss of a business due to
inconsiderate or antisocial behavior. A legal dispute over a wrongful judgment
initiated by others. It is best not to get things moving now; it is better not to “go
against the flow”. There may be obstacles at the family level or in your activity that
require your full attention. Time for indulging and gaining weight due to lack of
sobriety. An opportunity for progress can be lost. Lack of harmony; never chooses the
middle ground and oscillates between one extreme and another. The transit of the
Nodes square Jupiter has the same meaning as the transit of Jupiter square the natal
Nodes; however, it lasts longer. indicating a period of lack of adaptation to the -
surrounding environment. seeking new experiences of a certain kind, with a strong
desire for adventure. which makes him rather irresponsible and extravagant.

It is not a good time to be involved in legal complications. The chance of success
may now suffer a temporary setback or there may be a brief period of slack. There
may be anxiety and discontent about a spouse or business partner. Pay attention to the
details if you sign a contract or do business with someone, because now you tend to
overlook certain factors that will affect the negotiation. It may be an indication of
being attentive to the opportunities that may be presented to you or of looking only
for those that may benefit you, hence this contact may provide an opportunity to make
some money. Tendency to want to take advantage of the efforts of others, without
giving something in return. An attitude of arrogance, of indifference to responsibility
or lack of realism, which over time will have consequences.

This transit marks the 29-year Saturn cycle, when great change takes place. This
change may be at work or in the profession, because it is considered, for different
reasons, that it is obsolete; if not, it may be a change of residence or family
conditions, because relationships change or end. Since Saturn is concerned, among
other things, with one's sense of self as an isolated and different being, it is very likely
to affect your relationships, depending of course on how it is in the natal chart. Even a
marriage that is not harmonious can now end. Serious responsibilities emerge that
must be assumed and that require reflection, caution and maturity. There is a desire to
work, but with long-term goals, along with other ambitions, not just in the profession.
It is also true that many of the great advances or obstacles that appear in this era are
the result of how things were done in the past. If you try now

meaning as the transit of Saturn trine natal Uranus; however, it lasts much longer, due
to the slow movement of Uranus, indicating a pronounced period of creative ability,
of opportunities to free oneself from tense situations or situations that prevent one
from living more freely. It is at this time that you will seek to make a fundamental
change in your life, taking a path that will allow you to achieve your ambitions. It is
excellent for opening new paths that lead to greater independence. The profession
improves as a result of learning or studying new techniques or knowledge. You may
have brilliant ideas or solutions for your work, which tend to greater efficiency and
organization. You may also get a major promotion at work, which will give you more
authority and control. It is a good transit to look for a job or to make contact with
large commercial companies. There may be benefits associated with friendships with
elderly or well-off people. People with decision-making power at an institutional level
may be interested in reforming existing institutions from a political, legal or
commercial point of view.

SATURN t TRINE NEPTUNE n

This is a time of enlightenment or greater understanding about yourself and your
surroundings. You may have deeper insights and be more realistic, and although you
have been living in a state of uncertainty and confusion for the past few years, you
may now have concrete results and stable conditions. It is an aspect that stimulates
ambitions and rewards hard work. But it is also true that it is a favorable transit for
spiritual or psychological discipline, such as meditation. It is also excellent for studies
that raise consciousness, such as those related to mysticism, occultism, yoga, etc., and
to obtain benefits thanks to the instruction of a spiritual teacher. Now you have the
opportunity to work harder for your ideals, perhaps with a spiritual group, a religious
organization or some institution whose objective is to help those in need. The transit
of Neplune trine natal Saturn has the same meaning as the transit of Saturn trine natal
Neplune; however, it is of much longer duration and indicates a long period of -
profound experiences on a mental or psychic level. His spiritual development is -
harmonious and disciplined; he is not pessimistic, on the contrary, he can work much
better towards the achievement of an ideal. Now you can make certain things you
dream of come true, although it depends on the commitment and effort you put into
making them happen. A confusing, deceptive and disillusioning situation may be left
behind or a person who was very attached to you, dependent and weak, may now
leave, leaving you time

SATURN t OPPOSITION PLUTO n
This transit tends to make you feel restricted by possessive or coercive people, and
your ambitions may be held back by compelling environmental circumstances. There
may be a plot, conspiracy or scheme against you that requires you to take security
precautions or assume greater control and responsibility. You may be forced to
perform dishonest acts or be the victim of blackmail. In political or professional
matters there is a struggle for power. Their work becomes extremely difficult, with
many non-delegable responsibilities. This opposition in the profession, in business or
in politics, in the struggle for power, can create powerful enemies who wait for your
weakest moment to attack. Try not to resist pressure, instead seek an alliance with
others and make yourself indispensable to the goals that drive you. It is best to avoid -
contact with people with bad character or those who may have dangerous criminal
activities. If you started a job or a business 14 years ago, your effectiveness will now
be tested and you may well find that you have not had the expected success. Don't try
to win a lost battle, because you will lose everything you have left; it is better to move
in another direction. Pintón's transit in opposition to natal Saturn is very repressive
regarding his ambitions and even if he works hard and with determination he will not
receive sufficient reward or compensation. Circumstances are changing and
threatening your stability, although the true transformation produced by transiting
Pluto is internal in terms of your own structure and that is why you are experiencing
insecurity on the outside. As for your social life, it is better at this time to collaborate
with your group, your colleagues, your party, etc., for the good of all, even though
you will encounter a lack of support from some. A serious problem may arise in
relation to a person with whom you are closely linked and who is going through a
very difficult time, with depression, with a lack of financial resources, but you are not
willing to break this bond. You may also have to give up many hard-earned things,
possessions, relationships, positions; your resistance to this experience can create
tremendous tension. A lot of discipline, frugality and self-denial are required during
this transit; there may be periods of intense loneliness even if you are really
accompanied. Sometimes, when other factors contribute, it is a sign that physical
existence is being abandoned.

revolutionary; having contact with secret or mystical groups or organizations;
something that is attractive and leads to escaping from environmental reality. This is
not bad, as long as it is not dangerous. From a negative point of view, this transit can
lead to an inclination towards drugs or contact with drug addicts; even drugs
prescribed by a doctor should be taken with caution, because they can have harmful
side effects that alter the psyche. Disillusionment and confusion can excite other
perverted desires. Avoid giving trust to anyone; you may be attracted to evil people
who ultimately cause misfortune. If you follow evasive or perverse paths, they will
lead you to unstable situations, where you will live a prolonged period of anxiety and
insecurity.
The transit of Neptune conjunct natal Uranus is similar in meaning to the transit of
Uranus conjunct natal Neptune; however, it is of longer duration, taking effect for a
year or so. This contact occurs every 172 years, so in this century it occurred at the
end of 1993, in Capricorn. It is to be expected that its influence would have been
similar to that of Uranus conjunct natal Neptune, on the person. But only those who
are mentally and spiritually prepared for its positive influences will make their
visionary dreams come true. A feeling of mystical harmony, interest in astrology,
unusual creative capacity and the ability to make changes at will may be some of its
manifestations. It is a great source of inspiration. This aspect also represents a new
vision for nations, groups and families, with great transformation and change at the
sociocultural level.

URANUS t CONJUNCTION PLUTO n

This transit predisposes one to have a strong interest in changing things or
producing a regeneration of existing conditions; it stimulates the desire for freedom.
There is an increase in willpower: you feel courageous, perhaps somewhat reckless,
with a great desire for independence and you no longer tolerate pressure from others.
Sudden, drastic changes can affect you for better or worse. In extreme cases this
involves destruction, revolution, natural disaster or economic chaos. Your
relationships with others may be very different now and will affect you greatly, but
they will not be permanent unless you formed them before this transit happened. The
best way to express this contact is by being more flexible to circumstances, without -
trying to prevent changes from occurring in those areas of your life that are being
transformed. It can even be dangerous if you try to stop this process. But if you help
the energies for change to be discharged harmoniously, this transit can be much more
positive and constructive. In its unfavorable contact for intimate associations of any
kind-

generally they are excellent. Intelligent insight into popular tastes or what will be in
fashion. The transit of the North Node in sextile to Uranus and the transit of the South
Node in trine to natal Uranus also have the same meaning as the transit of Uranus in
sextile to the North Node and trine to the natal South Node, although their duration is
shorter.

URANUS t SEXTILE SOUTH NODE AND TRINE NORTH

NODE n
This transit has in itself the same meaning as that of Uranus sextile to the North
Node and trine to the natal South Node. However, you tend to release tensions
suddenly, with a desire for excitement or to manifest energy in a creative way.
Traditional cultural values are expressed or evaluated with intelligence and
originality. Unexpectedly, the situation changes for the better, although rarely
according to plan. The environment provides an opportunity. There may be brilliant
ideas, plans or optimal solutions. The affairs of the house where Uranus is located and
those where Aquarius is located will receive the focus of Uranus' energies. The transit
of the South Node in sextile and the North Node in trine to natal Uranus has the same
meaning as the transit of Uranus in sextile to the South Node and trine to the natal
North Node, although its duration is shorter. Basically, the transit of the North Node
over Uranus creates more favorable situations than that of the South Node.

URANUS t SEXTILE ASC AND TRINE DESC n

With this transit, a new sense of freedom is accentuated, tinged with a certain
magnetic quality that makes you stand out among acquaintances and friends. There is
usually greater understanding of others and you may suddenly find that your long-
time friends no longer interest you, perhaps because you now have a more realistic
approach to them. New friendships and group mates; unexpected partnerships and
even marriage may present themselves with one or more opportunities. The people
you meet at this time will be very different from those you are used to surrounding
yourself with and whether you take a rather rigid or circumspect stance. it may be
diplomatically set aside. Possibility of having an unexpected love relationship and
desire to marry soon with someone quite original, interesting, with a brilliant
mentality. From a practical point of view, this transit may induce you to form a
business partnership, whose interests are in the field of electronics, advanced
technology, astrology or parapsychology.

NEPTUNE t OPPOSITION NEPTUNE n
This transit occurs between the ages of 82 and 84, that is, at the end of life, and is
combined with another very important transit, that of Uranus in conjunction with natal
Uranus, which thus completes its revolution. With this transit there is an ever-
increasing need to distance oneself from worldly affairs; it is a time when there is no
longer any point in boosting the ego; the experience gained and the old structures
made no longer have any meaning or significance. You may respond to this transit
with a sense of confusion, doubt and uncertainty, especially if you are not willing to
be patient and allow the subtler and deeper layers of the unconscious to be perceived.
If you experience a lack of energy or interest in what's around you, don't feel guilty.
The energy is within you, working on another level. Wherever Neptune is, that is the
area to cover. With this transit there is a need to develop an attitude of spiritual
serenity; try to relax, practice spiritual exercises in tune with the natural decrease in
the flow of your energies. It can lead to a tendency toward loneliness and withdrawal
into oneself. It can be a symbol of completion, termination and peace or of
lamentation and being “out of touch with reality.” Probable dependence on family or
other people, for physical needs or for psychological help.

NEPTUNE t OPPOSITION PLUTO n

Some people born in this 20th century will have the opportunity to experience this
transition. For example, for those born between 1904 and 1905, the transit of Neptune
in opposition to natal Pluto occurred in 1988 or 1989. when they were approximately
84 years old. Others born in 1950, when they are 55 years old, that is, in 2005, will
also have this transit. This happens because Pluto's motion is gradually increasing.
From a worldly point of view, everyday life can be severely shaken and even
shattered by large-scale events beyond one's own control, such as economic, political
or social events, or even those caused by natural disasters. In the community in which
you live, you may feel isolated from others for various reasons, and you yourself may
tend to gradually withdraw, fleeing from communication. Mysteries or intrigues may
arise in relation to other people. There is also the danger of wanting to coerce others
or being coerced by them. Serious money problems or money loss may arise. Don't be
fooled by appearances, pay attention to the behavior of people you meet at this time
and analyze the circumstances carefully. Intentionally or

constructive and allows you to set long-term goals that will be positive, as the timing
is totally right. You may now begin a new path or stage in which you correct or get
rid of unnecessary activities. Don't act without thinking carefully about what you are
going to do; define what you want to do or how you want to do it to get the best
possible results. Focus on the details; gather all the facts. In this era, there may be a
deep insight into the forces that motivate popular opinion or cultural trends, and it
may also be possible to exert control over large groups. Contact with psychics, healers
or mystics.

intense desire to succeed at all costs. From a more negative point of view, a strong
sexual drive that needs to be properly channeled. Regenerative influence, with sudden
breaking situations. A feeling of failure or defeat. The transit of the South Node

partnership, as well as with the general public. When well aspected, it is a good time
to clarify situations and discuss difficulties or conflicts that exist between parties,
because among other things, you are more objective and reach conclusions that you
did not reach before. It is also a good transit to consult a professional or any specialist,
on matters of interest to you. Tendency to meet intellectual people or those who may
be specialists in some sense. It is excellent for reaching an agreement or negotiation;
for making a legal contract, as long as Mercury does not receive inharmonious aspects
from other planets in transit. If so, try to postpone any kind of dealing. There will be
problems in communication with other people in your relationship; there will be legal
difficulties or disagreements in marriage or in any other type of partnership.

MERCURY IN HOUSE VIII

On a worldly level, this transit may coincide with arguments about money or
having to deal in depth with financial matters in a company; it is also possible that it
may coincide with some secret communication or information that you receive or
have to give, whether of a political, scientific, military or simply personal nature. You
may feel curious or want to delve deeper into topics such as life after death,
reincarnation, or all kinds of mysterious phenomena. To relax, read a detective story
or watch a spooky movie. This transit leads to having very deep thoughts, having
conversations or intellectual talks that force you to delve deeper into the subject and
that have a strong impact on your way of thinking. The subject of sex can be
approached either as an intellectual topic or on a scientific level. Try not to let your
wit lead you to be sarcastic, because with your arguments you can offend more than
you think. A short trip for business or research purposes is also likely.

MERCURY IN HOUSE IX
It is a very favorable transit for studying, due to the desire to acquire new
knowledge. There is a predisposition to read and study deeper subjects, such as
philosophical or religious ones. This is an excellent contact for working at a university
or higher education institute. Now you need to broaden your horizons through other
sciences; any new discovery or interesting phenomenon that appears will attract your
attention. It's time to have

intuitions, but also wanting to write, publish, translate or speak in public. If Mercury
is well aspected, it is favorable for traveling, but since it is not very long-lasting, it
needs other slower factors for this to occur. His attitude is likely to be one of seeking
the truth about something or having a splendid reason for being lazy and easily

distracted, so there is little depth he achieves. If Mercury receives inharmonious
aspects in this house while transiting it, ideas are often impractical, change without
concrete results, or are too generalized.

MERCURY IN HOUSE X
What you do or say now can affect your reputation, as well as your occupation or
profession. This is likely to be a time when you will have to make decisions regarding
your job or career. It is a good transit to begin some study that improves or perfects
your occupation; learn new techniques or modify some tasks or procedures. You may
experience increased correspondence, phone calls, or travel for business or
professional reasons. Communication with superiors improves and a conversation
with bosses or managers about the tasks you perform can be positive. Your business
should also be promoted through this contact, which is related to communication with
the outside world; it is also favorable for making business agreements or signing
contracts. Professional matters may be influenced by brothers, sisters, neighbors or
coworkers.

MERCURY IN HOUSE XI
With this transit, interest in friends increases, more as a mental stimulus than as a
social one. Need to share observations, knowledge and perspectives. Communication
with other groups and organizations for humanitarian or social purposes. It is a good
time to talk to friends or other groups you are associated with about your problems
and to receive help or an objective and disinterested opinion. Short trips with friends
or related to groups and clubs or other organizations are likely. On the other hand,
with Mercury passing through this house, you may have sudden ideas or intuitions
that can be very favorable and practical in their application. If you are a mechanic,
invent something; if you are an artist, perfect a new technique; if you are a writer, try
science fiction; if you are a politician, try to study the possibility of reforming some
system. Another possibility is having to work in some institution, organization or club
during this time.

VENUS IN HOUSE II
This transit is productive, because Venus's power of attraction is exerted here
through money and material possessions in general. Well aspected, it is a favorable
time to apply for loans, seek financing from a bank or the help of wealthy people.
Financial opportunities may appear and loans may not be so difficult to obtain. At this
time, you have a greater ability to relate to people and do business with them, because
Venus is very skilled at managing others and possesses an attractive force of
conviction. You can earn money from painting, music or artistic expressions in
general. Tendency to spend more than necessary, perhaps on super-fine things that are
not practical; in addition, there is interest in things that contribute to physical comfort.
You feel the desire to buy beautiful clothes, jewelry or art objects to better decorate
your home.

VENUS IN THE 3RD HOUSE

The transit of Venus through this house allows social communication to be
pleasant, discreet and joyful. You may be able to perceive more beauty than other
times, within your immediate environment. It is a good time to take short trips, visit
people you love, or engage in social or leisure activities. Meetings with friends or
neighbors provide opportunities to understand that there is love and understanding
around you too. The letters you write now probably reflect a happy and pleasant
mood. It is a good transit for public relations and for having a harmonious
conversation with siblings, neighbors and coworkers. If Venus is afflicted while
transiting this house, you will not be very sincere in what you say or write and may
waste your time chatting about trivial things. He likes to flatter.

VENUS IN HOUSE IV
The love of home and family is accentuated. He has a great desire to see his
closest relatives and. In fact, it is a good time to strengthen emotional ties and
experience the joys of family life. There may be social or romantic gatherings in your
home. There is also a particular interest in home beautification and it is an excellent
time to carry out interior decoration, buy art objects or decorate the garden, park, etc.
You may be interested in buying furniture or doing some activity related to real estate.
It is a time when you want to be calm, at peace with yourself and enjoy the comfort of
home and invite people to your house. Try to avoid the self-indulgence and self-

happy moments in the company of loved ones. Social or romantic activities. Any

are likely to have success at this time. This transit also favors all types of business
related to art, music, toys. It is equally beneficial for financial speculation.

VENUS IN THE 6TH HOUSE

The things you produce may now find much demand. Your work in your
occupation or profession improves, as does your relationship with your bosses,
superiors or even with employees if you are the employer. There is a willingness to
collaborate further to resolve the difficulties that arise. It is a good time to ask for a
salary increase or to obtain improvements in the conditions in which work is carried
out or for anything related to your daily work. However, it is not a good position for
Venus from the point of view of love relationships, nor for social contacts in general,
and it is even likely that it will be necessary to face certain difficulties, due to
agreements that were not well clarified or determined before this transit occurs. On
the other hand, it is good for your health, as long as you avoid sweets and fats.
Women can play an important role in their work, as well as in hygiene tasks. You may
gain the loyal services of some helper or employee whom you protect.

VENUS IN THE 7TH HOUSE

In this house. Venus is strong; a love relationship that begins under this influence
will continue for a long time, if it is not afflicted by other planets. Marriage or any
other close relationship will be favored because the emotional flow will be easy and
harmonious, so if there are differences or anger in a couple or partnership, this is one
of the best times to make peace. It is possible to enjoy the company of other people,
with whom there will be fluid communication and externalization of feelings.
Tendency to social gatherings; public relations turn out to be harmonious. In any type
of society, whether emotional or professional, you act in a complacent manner, in
harmony with others, with a lot of understanding about their needs more than usual,

while transiting this house, among other things, bad company can harm you.

VENUS IN HOUSE VIII
The importance of economic security may now have a special, even pleasant,
meaning, one might say. There may be additional income from gifts, concessions,
permits or donations. If other progressed factors also indicate this, it indicates the fact
of receiving an inheritance. The idea of saving may seem appealing and may even be
due to your desire to invest in something that awakens your sense of beauty. This
transit is also positive for requesting a loan or receiving money from a company. This
is the house of sex and with Venus here, sexual desire can be heightened; social or
business meetings can lead to a sexual encounter. A love relationship that begins with
this transit will have a strong impact on your life, for better or worse, and if it happens
at a time when other transits or directions are acting with similar meaning, it can
signal a relationship that will transform your life. Badly aspected Venus transiting this
house, sexual relations can bring complications, depending on their severity on other
factors in the chart.

VENUS IN HOUSE IX
You now find pleasure in attending cultural, musical or educational gatherings.
Desire to visit other places or attend meetings where you can meet other people who
are very different from your life experience or who can expand your knowledge.
Attraction to foreign people, to people who have visited strange places or who
transmit a message to raise awareness. There is a desire to travel and there is also the -
possibility of taking a really pleasant trip or taking a vacation to relax. Interest in the
art or culture of other countries is another possibility.

VENUS IN HOUSE X
In this case, your social reputation improves and you may even enjoy a certain -
popularity with someone who has a position of authority over you. The circumstances
regarding your profession or occupation are favorable and your relationships in the
professional or commercial sphere are very good and affable. Likewise, the business
owner, company executives, or any person in authority is well-disposed toward you. It
is possible that social activity may somehow tend to be related to professional activity
during this transit. If other, stronger factors indicate the same, this may be the time to
enter into a professional partnership. This transit may give you a stronger interest in
aesthetics than before or lead you to businesses that have to do with art or music. It is
a good position to ask women for favors and a romantic relationship with your boss or
employer may even arise; in this case, it will be with someone you trust, for whom
you feel respect and who can help you progress in life.

37

VENUS IN THE 11TH HOUSE
You now receive the warm affection of good friends and you yourself feel
friendlier with almost everyone. Now is the time to enjoy the company of friends
more than ever, and it is a good time to have social gatherings or go out with groups
of friends. Group activities or get-togethers with friends are often related to music, art
and fun. There may be opportunities for romantic relationships among friends, or the
love that begins at this time may have a friendly quality. Instead of wanting to satisfy
his own desires, he is more willing to help the group or friends to achieve their goals.
In fact, this is a time when the strength of the ego becomes weaker, making dealings
with others more harmonious and pleasant. However, if Venus is badly aspected while
transiting this house, affections with friends may suffer in some way or the search for
friendship or group contact may be done for sexual purposes or for some reason, more
material than spiritual.

VENUS IN THE 12TH HOUSE

The desire for solitude can be beneficial in making it possible to reconsider an
emotional situation. Kindness and a lot of emotional sympathy for those who suffer;
you may have to help someone who is sick or perform some act of charity. This
position of Venus reveals a lack of selfishness in love; a selfless attitude and one
could even say self-denial.

XII has to do with hidden enemies, this position indicates that you are now protected
from harm that they can do to you or that you triumph over them. Setbacks are
followed by success. If Jupiter makes bad aspects while transiting this house, escapist
tendencies may appear, but also too much sentimentality and even self-pity.

TRANSITS OF SATURN
SATURN IN HOUSE I
A period in your life begins when you have to go more slowly and carefully.
Saturn concludes or puts an end to those aspects of your life that are no longer
worthwhile. It is a time to lay the foundations for something, it represents a new
beginning, but consolidating it takes time and it is better to dedicate oneself to taking
good care of the foundations of this new enterprise. From a personal point of view,
this transit means a greater sense of responsibility and self-confidence, but it is also a
time of marked introversion. You need to know more about yourself, you must learn
to understand what you really want from life and what your true needs are. The more
you know about yourself, the more likely you are to succeed in the future. Tendency
to be more disciplined, reserved and patient in one's attitude. It is a separating
influence, and sometimes it is difficult for you to get along with or obtain the
collaboration or help of others, precisely because of your introspective tendency. It
may be the beginning of a difficult time in your life, which requires reorientation and
if you make more commitments to the outside world, you will find it more difficult to
take care of them. You need to rest, because of a tendency to tire easily; there may be
loss of appetite and slow digestion. If Saturn is badly aspected, there is a chance of
falling ill.

SATURN IN HOUSE II
This is a period where the need to form a material structure stands out. Unless he
is well aspected, he tends to work hard and with great effort but earns little. The
attitude toward money or other possessions may be more conservative; regarding
business, one tends to be more frugal, although also resourceful. You now develop a
more practical sense of values in whatever field you may be in and learn to know
what really has the most value for you. There may be a need to economize or be more
prudent in

38
9
where having stability at home and in the family is most appreciated. It can be a good
option for buying a house or renovating it. In business matters, you may now be
interested in real estate, fields, mines, or even in products or services related to food
or domestic matters. With this transit, a change in life slowly begins, towards
achieving your ambitions, leaving behind a rather introspective cycle. This is a time
when one needs to seriously evaluate the side effects that the childhood environment
has had on one's adult personality and in this regard, one may wish to begin
psychotherapy. Saturn badly aspected when transiting this house can mean problems
at home, leading to emotional depression, discouragement, overwhelming
responsibilities or having a tremendous burden due to expenses, need for repairs, etc.

SATURN IN HOUSE V
From an emotional point of view and depending on Saturn's contact with radical
or transiting planets, this influence can range from a lack of opportunities for a
romantic relationship to disappointments, delays, impediments and worries for the
same reason. Attraction to older people or those with a more serious character, almost
like a father in the case of a woman. However, with this position, the tendency is to
avoid meeting others and this may be because psychologically you do not want to -
have confrontations, because the emotional relationship represents a challenging
experience. Since this is also the house of recreation, with Saturn here it is not a very
fun period, let's say; nor is it favorable for gambling, speculation or taking any other
type of risk, because Saturn is of a contrary nature. It is also not good for a woman to
get pregnant during this transit, due to some problems it may bring, and it may also
mean an unwanted pregnancy. There may be problems regarding the education or -
discipline of your children. Discipline and hard work are the successful results in the -
performance of artists or musicians.

SATURN IN HOUSE VI
Saturn in the house of health means that you should pay attention to it. You may
need to put in more effort into the routine tasks at hand. Regulate your tasks in such a
way that they allow you to avoid fatigue. Get plenty of rest and relaxation; avoid
worries. Discipline at work brings greater efficiency, but too much work can create
health problems. If you are an employer or have your own business,

391
SATURN IN HOUSE X
This transit signifies the culmination of efforts made over the past 21 to 24 years
and is a period where the focus of life is on ambitions. There is an increase in
responsibilities, but also an increase in the possibility of achieving much desired
things, especially on a professional level. It is favorable to achieve a good position, an
important promotion or public recognition for efficient work performed. If you have
the qualities to be a leader, it will be the opportunity of a lifetime, and if you are a
politician, you will have prestige. In reality, it is the time when the fruits of the
sowing of many years of work are reaped. But if you have done wrong, done injustice
or caused harm in the past to achieve your ambitions, this transit can be very negative
now. It threatens to fall from power if you have it, to suffer discredit, serious
problems that affect your reputation may appear or there may be loss of employment
and public disgrace if Saturn is badly aspected by radical or transiting planets. On the
other hand, it indicates a bad relationship with parents or people who have authority
over you. Work during this period is often oppressive and tedious, representing a
challenge to one's own self-discipline. Sometimes it is necessary to overcome the
fear of failure, characteristic of Saturn, which always seeks promotion and security.

SATURN IN HOUSE XI
Just as the previous transit aimed to direct your energies towards personal
achievement, Saturn in the 11th House focuses your interest on responsibilities of an
impersonal nature, that is, those with a greater, broader purpose within the
Community. It marks the transition from the purposes of personal will to the
development of group consciousness. This transit involves you in obligations to a
group, friends, an association or a club. There may be administrative or control
responsibility in an organization; you may even assume a leadership role. It
encourages the bonds of sincere friendship and the permanent benefits of carrying out
your desires and ambitions, according to your capabilities. But Saturn here can also
indicate failure to achieve your goals or ideals in life, feeling disillusioned - this
depends on how you have worked before; when badly aspected, it affirms that you are
not going in the right direction. Problems may also arise due to money issues or social
status. Saturn is able to test you in your ability to make friends or in the need to
communicate with them. It is used to encourage isolation and loneliness, and may
show, in some way, that you do not fit into the group. And remember, if you do not
feel deep friendship and are rather distrustful of others, you will surely attract
distancing as a reward.

SATURN IN HOUSE XII

This is a time of trial and loneliness, in the sense that it marks the end of a cycle

39
4
where ambitions are diminished, when activity no longer has the desired results and
neither is it clear what the objectives are and what changes must be made to face a
period that seems to be very negative. Especially if Saturn is badly aspected, the
tendency is to have many fears, to feel insecure and emotionally depressed for having
"failed" in one's goals. Try as much as possible not to despair, nor to judge negatively
your inefficiency; do not feel guilty for the mistakes you have made. just understand
what happened objectively. Do not try to escape from your responsibilities, take
“shortcuts” or use clandestine or underhanded means. Tendency to be arrested or
hospitalized. It is not a good period to start a job or initiate a new project and it is
better to wait for Saturn to move into the First House. Professionally, you may be
involved with hospitals, nursing homes, churches, etc. or with some research-related
work, which may be secret. The study of mysticism or the practice of meditation are
other positive manifestations of this energy.

TRANSITS OF URANUS
URANUS IN HOUSE I
A seven-year period that will influence your personality in such a way that it will
modify your personal points of view, especially in your relationship with others and
with the world in general. You have a strong desire for freedom and cannot tolerate
any further limitations. You feel the need to make a drastic and radical change, being
able to act in an unexpected way and separate yourself from situations that have been
important in your past. Marriage or any other intimate relationship may break up
because it is considered tedious or suffocating. Now he has a broader and more
independent attitude and cannot stand old limitations, so he can be labeled as
"rebellious" or "irresponsible" and even if he were, the areas where he stands the
restrictions are the ones that need to be changed. Interest is focused on new,
progressive ideas; for example, studying astrology, astronomy, electronics, being
interested in the scientific field in general or in very old ideas, such as archaeology.

395
in which Uranus transits through the IV House, where it will be easier for you to act
after having made the changes at a mental level in the III House. But if you resist
changes because you fear them or are inflexible, this period can be very disturbing
because it indicates nervousness, with many mental disturbances or hesitations, with
ideas that are not at all practical, sometimes with stubbornness, refusing to listen to
the good advice of others. Being badly aspected by planets such as Mars or Saturn,
there is a predisposition to accidents, especially on public roads or on short trips, as a
consequence of trying to prevent some change that the energy seeks to produce
elsewhere.

URANUS IN HOUSE IV
This transit means changes or reforms at home, leaving the past behind to begin
new experiences that aim to have greater freedom. Uranus reaching the cusp of the IV
indicates an opportunity to better understand how the environment in which we are
raised affects our behavior in adult life. It indicates the possibility of changing houses
or moving to another one, suddenly, it can also be the modification of the house
where we live. Sometimes it may be the settlement in another country. Sudden
changes may come from a desire for personal freedom regarding home life and
relationships with parents and other family members. Family harmony tends to
fluctuate and endure ups and downs. Even the family can experience divorce, an
accident or someone's death, if Uranus is badly aspected. Breaking with the past often
creates tension, but you will be taught to manage these energies in order to free
yourself from unsatisfactory living conditions. It may take a few years for him to
adapt to the new conditions, but through these changes he will gain more
independence and be freed from restrictions that prevented his full development.
Likewise, at home you may undertake some new tasks. On the other hand, an interest
in gardening, horticulture, architecture, mining or archaeology may also appear.

URANUS IN HOUSE V
A period in which spectacular progress can be made. If you have creative abilities,
this is an excellent time because it shows originality, so it is good for artists,
craftsmen and cartoonists. If you have children, pay close attention to them because
they are subject to changes that make them rebellious; they become difficult to deal
with and even unexpected events may happen to them, such as illnesses or accidents if
Uranus is badly aspected by other transiting or radical planets. It would also be a good
idea to keep an eye on his friendships. For a woman, it may indicate an unexpected
pregnancy. If well aspected, it can be a new and exciting experience in your
relationship with your children. Relationships with the opposite sex are rather unusual
in nature and may break certain social norms or set aside traditional family concepts. -
This transit may indicate a sudden infatuation with someone you never dreamed of,

39
7
although generally the relationship is not stable or long-lasting, tending to occur more
in "spurts" due to the excitement it causes. Lots of social activity with friends or
through groups, clubs or organizations. This transit may also bring a strong desire to
speculate financially and sudden gains or sudden losses are likely, depending on how
Uranus is placed by aspect.

URANUS IN HOUSE VI
This transit may indicate a change of job, not a change of profession or
occupation. Now he is looking for another job because he does not feel comfortable
with his current one, perhaps because he considers it too oppressive, with many
obligations that do not leave him free time or that end up being very routine. Look for
a task that allows you more freedom of action or in which you can use some
technological innovation such as computing, for example. Employment opportunities
may come through friends or in a major club or organization. If you are doing well at
work, it means having to face new experiences or responsibilities; having to learn new
methods or techniques. If this energy is repressed, for example, by fear of change, the
internal tension connected with Uranus can manifest itself in health problems that
force a change of job or a reduction in responsibilities. It can also be beneficial for
seeking new healing methods, especially of an unorthodox type. Health problems
caused by Uranus in this house, such as blood circulation, heart, nerves and spasms,
can be avoided if its energy is channeled through a drastic change in your usual tasks
and in your attitude towards work obligations. Uranus badly aspected here is an
indication of job instability, with a rebellious attitude, nervousness or the loss of a job,
sudden illness or accident.

URANUS IN HOUSE VII

Generally this transit disturbs relationships with others, particularly marriage, due
to a strong desire for personal freedom. The entry of Uranus into this house
announces a time of instability, and there may be a relationship that is not satisfying
but that is kept together because of the children, or because of financial or emotional
security. This position indicates divorce.

39
8
You will know that during these years they will deeply affect your life, although you
should not blame them for the good or bad that may happen to you, because they act
as reflections of you or are instruments of subtle suggestions from your unconscious.
If you understand this, you will learn to manage your relationship life much more
effectively and for the better in the future.

PLUTO IN HOUSE VIII

In this position, the capacity for a regeneration process is doubled, since Pluto in
the 8th is in its natural house and is thus stronger. There is an intense desire to
understand the meaning of life, as Pluto needs to know the causes. He finds it difficult
to accept explanations that do not go to the heart of the matter, from a philosophical
or scientific point of view. Much more significant than before is his ability to
penetrate the mysteries of death and life after death. You may have a strong interest in
reincarnation, parapsychology, communication with the spiritual world, etc. The death
of someone very dear to you, if other positions confirm it, may occur and produce a
strong transformation in your life. If Pluto makes very inharmonious aspects, life can
be shaken and even destroyed by natural phenomena; economic situations or the
assets of a marriage or business partnership can be seriously affected. It can also
indicate death itself, if other factors act in the same way.

PLUTO IN HOUSE IX
It means that the capacity for regeneration lies in the sphere of higher education,
in its philosophy, in respect for the law and in moral development. This placement can
give deep insight into complex intellectual concepts and complete changes in
religious or philosophical convictions. There may be a tendency to want to write and
publish something that really creates a sensation or is revolutionary. Other people
may develop a reformist desire applicable to educational, religious, judicial or cultural
institutions in general. Badly aspected, the common Plutonian tendency towards
fanaticism, that is, the negative expression of taking every thing or idea intensely,
totally and deeply, should be avoided. Being thus configured, extreme, obsessive
points of view on religious, political or philosophical matters can be adopted. You
may be exposed to danger while traveling abroad. You should also be careful with the
law, because Pluto tends to follow its own rules without considering those of society
at large. If you keep your actions within the law you will not have any problems.

THE PROGRESSIONS
SECONDARY SCHOOLS
The birth chart cannot be conceived as a static figure. Although it represents a
definite charge of energies at a given moment, it must be considered as a living entity
that is continually changing, turning and modifying itself, developing internal
potentialities through the daily movement of the Earth and the planets in the sky.
The progression of the horoscope, unlike transits, represents the development of
latent energies, while transits are energies external or foreign to the individual's
horoscope. Hence progressions are more subjective than transits. They have to do
with internal inclinations and attitudes, and since these do not necessarily manifest
themselves in objective experiences, perhaps because of the lack of opportunity for
their realization in the external environment, they play a secondary role. Only when
progressions and other similar techniques are reinforced with transits do they result in
real events and circumstances in the individual's life.
Progressions, then, refer more to an internal and subjective process of human
development with respect to individual potentialities, as given in the birth chart, and
in this sense they contrast sharply with transits, which are environmental factors.
There is a certain “logic” in transits when we observe the parallelism between
celestial events, given by astronomical positions, and terrestrial ones, but this is not
the case when we consider secondary progressions, which do not refer to true
astronomical events, such as transits, but are fundamentally symbolic.
You may be surprised to find that symbolic time progressions are just as effective
as real time transits when it comes to finding answers to questions we face or
experience. However, this is so because symbolic progressions correspond to
something that is completely real in the life of the mind. Progressions deal with the
transformations of the inner man, while transits have to do with the impact of the
environment. In other words, progressions represent the internal development of the
personality, while transits relate more to the circumstances that the outside world
represents for that personality.
The progressed chart shows the changes in consciousness that occur in the
individual. It is a symbolic picture of the thoughts, feelings and attitudes that arise in a
person's life. Predispositions are of fundamental importance and we can say that: “The
external world is not a creative world, it is the world of manifestation. The creative
world is on the inner side and, truly, man creates his own destiny.”
Only by changing attitudes and consciousness can man change the world around
him. We are intimately connected to everything that happens to us. Progressions help

41
5
us understand what is happening inside us and if it is a negative condition, we have
the privilege of being able to change it if we make the effort, before it manifests itself
in the external world.
Although the individual is not free to change the potentialities with which he was
born, he is free to choose what he will do with those potentialities. On the other hand,
man is permanently bearing the influences of the environment that surrounds him and
reacts or responds to them but not in a predetermined way, but rather he must choose
and this is his freedom.
External conditions cannot be changed, so what matters is how the individual
reacts and copes with them or what meaning he gives to this experience and, again,
this is his true freedom or free will. From this point of view, we are responsible, and
not the planets, for all the actions, feelings, attitudes and thoughts we have . There is a
close relationship between progressions and transits or the impact of the environment
on personality and whatever the event experienced, unfortunate or fortunate, the
important thing is always the internal response of the individual.
Planets do not make events happen but show what tendencies, possibilities and
obstacles are present. The planets are archetypal symbols, as Jung said, of our needs
and impulses, of our development circumstances. Your interpretation of a transit or
progression is based on how an individual experiences this energy and how they feel
it.
This system, that of the progressed horoscope, has the advantage over the transit
system that the movements are much slower, hence they can be considered as more
deeply rooted in their effects. However, these two systems, that of transit and that of
the progressed horoscope, should not be considered as opposites or antagonists, but
rather as acting mutually and in cooperation, just as happens with the cycle of the day
and the cycle of the year to which each one belongs.
In the progressed horoscope, each day after birth represents a year, so, for
example, a child born on July 10, 1970, the planetary positions shown in the
ephemeris for July 20, 1970 will represent the progressions for his or her 10 years of
life, because 10 days have passed since birth, and if you want to know what the
progressions will be when the child is 20 years old, you will have to look at the
positions for July 30, 1970. and so on.
You may wonder, why is this so? This is a hypothesis based on observation of the
facts, but to date no scientific explanation has been given. However, the Earth's
movement every 24 hours is part of a complete year-long cycle and can thus be -
considered symbolically as a minor cycle within a larger one. And as the Greeks said,
it is a natural law that the microcosm reflects the macrocosm. In this way it is possible
that when two cycles are closely related, as in this case the day within the year, the
smaller cycle contains within itself the potentialities of the larger one.
It is interesting to discover two quotes in the Bible regarding this: Ezekiel 4:6,
which says: “And when these things are accomplished, you shall lie on your right side
a second time, and you shall bear the iniquity of the house of Judah forty days, day for

416
year, day for year I have given you.” And in Book IV of Moses, 14:34, it says:
“According to the number of the days of the forty days in which you searched the
land, you will bear your iniquities forty years, a year for each day and you will know
my punishment.”
There is no logical explanation for this. No progression refers to a true
astronomical phenomenon in the same sense that transits do; with progressions we
move away from the logic of the cosmos to enter a deeper dimension, the logic of
consciousness itself. We enter, not into a universe measurable by real time, but
through a symbolic time. From this point of view, we can say that transits are
observed, while progressions must be calculated.

The Progressed Horoscope

In the System of Secondary Progressions, we have said that each day after birth is
equivalent to one year of life, or rather, they are calculated with reference to the
apparent movement of the Sun and the solar day, from 0 to 24 hours: this solar day is
equivalent to exactly one year of life. Consequently, the solar factor completely
dominates these progressions. This is an integrating factor, since the Sun means the
vital principle in the organism or refers to the Self within the totality of the
personality. Solar progressions, therefore, deal with the development of the Self in -
manifestation. Progressed planets, on the other hand, indicate how the types of
activity they represent cooperate in the solar process of realization. So to understand
the development of the life of a person who is 30 years old, we must look at the
anniversaries, 30 days after birth.
It seems incredible that the planetary positions in the sky after 30 days have
passed have anything to do with events or things happening when we are 30 years old.
This is a check against the materialistic view of the cosmos. But there is no doubt that
the stages of character development are symbolized by the movements of the solar
system in the hours and days following birth.
The positions of the progressed MC and ASC, as well as the rest of the progressed
cusps, can also be indicated on the outer circle. As progressed planets and angles
move through the years, they form different aspects to the natal planets and angles.
Likewise, attention must be paid to the aspects that the progressed planets and angles
themselves form with each other. It is through these aspects and the changes of
houses, that we can see the development of the individual's life.
Secondary Progressions are the most common and frequently used system by
astrologers in predictive astrology. Since one day of actual planetary motion
represents one year of life, these progressions are also called: “One day equals one
year.” The planetary positions given in the ephemerides, at Greenwich, for one day
after birth, represent the first year of life, the positions on the second day, represent
the second year, and so on.

41
7
 The other system after the Progressed Horoscope is that of the Equatorial Arcs or
more commonly called that of the Primary Directions, Primary Arcs or Placidus. They
are called Primary because this system measures the first aspects formed by the
planets, after birth, with the significant positions of the birth chart. This system is -
based on the diurnal movement of the sky through the rotation of the Earth; the
approximate time it takes for 1° of the celestial equator to pass through the meridian
of a place represents one year of life. The number of degrees required to bring a point
in the sky or planet into exact aspect with another planet or sensitive point in the chart
will indicate a similar number of years after birth.

In the first case, the difference in longitude was added because it was a town west
of Greenwich, while in the latter, it was subtracted because it had a longitude east of
Greenwich. Of course, to find the TU of other countries we must know the Master

437
Meridian that they are governed by; there are also some that have several master
meridians, given the size of their territory.

2) Calculation Date

Let us remember that in this system of Secondary Progressions, 1 day = 1 year, so

we can make the following Table of equivalences.

Time by ephemerides Equivalent in life time

1 day or 24 hours 1 year or 12 months

12 hours 6 months
6 hours 3 months
2 hours 1 month
1 hour 15 days
30 minutes 7 1/2 days
10 minutes 2 1/2 days
5 minutes 1 day approx.

438
 a) Arithmetic method

Birthday: August 28th.

Birth time: 13h 45m UT
Thus, the interval from 0 hour UT on August 28,
It is 13h 45m.

According to the table above:

13h = 6 months 15 days
45m= ___________11 days
Lapse: 6 months 26 days

Since the birth has a TU after 0 hours, we must go back in the ephemeris, looking
for a date prior to that of the birth. Therefore, we must subtract this period:

1970 8 28
6 26
1970 2 2 = February 2, 1970, this is the
CALCULATION DATE

b) Sidereal Time Method (more accurate)

Find the interval between the UT of birth and the next midnight (or noon if
ephemerides calculated for 12 hours are used)

24h 00m (Oh August 29th)

YOU 13h45m
Interval lOh 15m

Sidereal Time of the

day of birth
8/28/1970 Oh + 22h 23m 12s
Sidereal Time 8h 38m 12s (subtracting one cycle
tight (from 24 hours)

Search in the ephemerides, starting from the day of birth but backwards, for the
Sidereal Time closest to the one obtained: 8h 38m 12s. We found the one of 8h 39m
12s which corresponds to January 31, 1970, the unchangeable Calculation Date in the
reading of the planetary positions of each year.

 It was the English astrologer Ronald Davison who proposed a few years ago that
the True Solar Day, rather than the Mean Solar Day, was the fundamental unit of
time; all other units of time, such as seconds, minutes, hours, weeks, months and
years, are harmonically related to it. He suggested that man did not invent these
measures of time but rather discovered them through his intuitive ability, observing
the cyclical nature of events, when measuring the seasons and observing the apparent
motion of celestial bodies.
In addition to postulating that each day before or after birth is related to the year,
month, week or day corresponding to the development of the individual's life or its
events according to progressions and transits, he inspired other astrologers to study
the nature of Time. He considered Time not as a linear phenomenon, with a past,
present and future that occur sequentially, but as a global phenomenon. According to
him: “Time appears to be a global phenomenon where past, present and future coexist
simultaneously and interact, so that they can be measured accurately with predictable
results.” In fact, this idea is not new; the sages of antiquity established it more than
two thousand years ago. According to the Bible: “That which has been is already; and
that which is to be has already been; and God restores that which has passed away.”
Rather than being merely a magnitude that indicates duration, Time must be
understood as a fundamental property of the Universe, which is perhaps the “thread
with which the fabric of the Cosmos is woven.”
Before Einstein, it was believed that Time and Space were absolute. Time was
considered linear and was exactly the same for everyone. It was believed that if clocks
were placed in space, anywhere, they would all mark the same time or they would all
coincide. Einstein discovered that the faster a clock synchronized with another clock
that remains stationary relative to an observer moves, the longer the time interval
becomes, that is, the moving clock is slower.
In modern physics, Space and Time are inseparable and each depends on the
other; there exists a space-time continuum. In astrology, we could say that something
similar happens. The horoscope "relativizes" the space and time of each individual
throughout his or her life. The events that happen to him are always relative to him.
But leaving aside the interesting philosophical disquisitions about Time that may
arise, we can say that the studies carried out by Davison regarding the True Solar Day
have been very valuable. Personally, and through experience, I am convinced of the
need to apply this procedure in the practice of predictive astrology. Sometimes it is
more illuminating in the progression of the Angles than the procedure-

5) Compare progressed positions with the birth chart

Extracting from the ephemerides the progressed planetary positions for January
31, 1987 (remember that the Index Day is September 14, 1970), we observe if there
are aspects with the natal positions.

Progressed Positions

Sun 20°46' Virgo

Moon 0o01'59” Pisces
Mercury 18°20' Virgo R.
Venus 6°09' Scorpio
Mars 6052' Virgo
Jupiter 4°46' Scorpio
Saturn 22°33' Taurus R
Uranus 8°01' Libra
Neptune 28°27' Scorpio
Pluto 26°59' Virgo
NodeN. 1038' Pisces

In this way, we are now in a position to make a complete Progressed Horoscope.

See Figure 3.

Some considerations to take into account in the Progressions

The golden rule to consider in any prediction is that no progression can develop
something that is not already indicated in the natal chart:
Io
) Observe whether the ASC sign is long or short ascension. For the Southern
Hemisphere. Capricorn, Aquarius. Pisces, Aries. Taurus and Gemini are of long
ascension, while Cancer, Leo. Virgo, Libra, Scorpio and Sagittarius are of short
ascension. For the Northern Hemisphere, logically, the Signs must be reversed.
People born with ascending signs are those who experience the most changes in life.
There are those who say they have lived very different stages in life each time the
ASC went through short-term ascension signs.
2nd
) If we look at the ASC column in a Table of Houses for the latitude of Buenos
Aires (34°36'S), we find that for the sign of Aries there are 36

433
struggle. Let us suppose that the Moon is the ruler (Cancer in the prog. ASC) and is in
the sign of Aquarius, with which it does not harmonize and is in the progressed House
IX, with which it also has no affinity. In this case, the Moon is not doing very well, so
to speak, because it can lead to confusion or disorientation in the search for emotional
independence (Aquarius), higher education or travel (IX). Likewise, family ties, the
mother or the upbringing of the children can prevent these desires or produce an -
internal conflict, due to the opposition that their personal desires receive.
The progressed ruler in an unfavorable sign but in a favorable house produces
internal conflicts that prevent him from successfully handling personal affairs or the
circumstances that surround him (position by house). Let's suppose the same case as
above but the Moon, instead of being in the IX House, progresses in the IV, which is
very similar to it. However, the Moon's position in Aquarius makes her too restless
and independent to be comfortable at home. This position may lead the native to
change house or even change residence. Another example: Capricorn in the ASC
prog. and Saturn, its ruler, is in Leo and in the progressed VI House. Saturn is an -
Earth planet and is comfortable in a related house such as House VI. This person may
now find himself in a position of responsibility, because he is recognized for his
ability to organize, control and be patient with others who work with him. However,
he is not satisfied with the mud because he has to command others; this gives him no
pleasure or satisfaction.
60) The Sun changes signs by progression every 30 years, because it progresses -
around Io per day. Since the MC moves at the same speed as the Sun in its
progression, it is always at the same distance from what it was in the natal chart. By
age 60, the Sun has changed signs twice because it has moved 60°, therefore a person
with the Sun in a Cardinal sign will move into a period of stability and completion of
things as it progresses to a Fixed sign. Likewise, each person with the natal Sun in a
Mutable sign will go through a period of great activity and initiative, as the
progressed Sun moves into a Cardinal sign. A person with the natal Sun in a Fixed
sign, when it progresses to a Mutable one, will notice how frequently his mentality
changes.
This same process happens with the change of the Elements. If the Sun is in a Fire
sign at birth, it will later progress to an Earth sign, so your rather aggressive or
impulsive desires will be tempered because you will now see the need to ensure a
concrete and practical result for the actions you perform. If the Sun is in an Earth sign,
it will progress to an Air sign and in this case you will see the need to learn to express
your ideas, to connect more with people instead of remaining practical, calculating
and concrete. The Sun in an Air sign will progress to a Water sign and will then begin
to recognize feelings as well as ideas. The ability to speak your mind will add to the
opportunity to meet people as they feel. The Sun in a Water sign in the birth chart
fundamentally represents a person with feelings or emotions. When you move into a
Fire sign through the progression, you will see the need to be more active in life, etc.
70) The So progressions represent the dynamic energy toward awareness and

435
self-expression; they indicate periods of struggle for the expression of consciousness.
Your contacts with other planets indicate opportunities for growth and transformation.
They are indicators of vitality and health conditions, of success (or frustrated
ambitions), of renewed purposes (or lack of motivation and discouragement), of
prestige (or bad reputation), of love (or the loss of it). Solar contacts are of special
significance in a feminine chart with respect to the masculine.
80) Mercury and Venus vary in speed and not only change signs by progression
but can enter adjacent houses after birth. The mental or intellectual development of
the individual is shown through the progression of Mercury in the birth chart. It is
particularly important if Gemini or Virgo, the signs that it rules, are rising or are those
where the Sun is. When Mercury is not in the same sign as the Sun, one may
experience an identity crisis, because one's way of thinking or acting is not always in
harmony with one's essential inner nature. For example, Sun in Taurus and Mercury
in Gemini, the reserved nature of the former does not get along well with Mercury's
need to talk. Retrograde and stationary motion are often of great importance. Most
people experience progressed Mercury stationing at some point in their lives and this
effect lasts about a year, but can extend up to three. If Mercury is retrograde at birth,
the intellect and communication tendency is towards introversion; looking more
inward and with certain limitations, depending on its location in the chart. When
Mercury is retrograde at school age or when completing secondary or university
studies, there is a tendency to lose years or studies, difficulty in learning, etc. When
progressed Mercury turns direct, it is very favorable both from the point of view of
social communication and at work, giving opportunities for the development of the
mind. Turning retrograde late in life, Mercury is very productive and creative.
90) Venus is the primary energy for attraction and beauty, as well as signifying
financial interests and security. It shows the tendency to relate to others, to form
intimate unions and to social and cultural activity; it attracts conditions that lead to
material gains and creative expression. When Venus is retrograde by progression,
matters signified by house and sign may be delayed or hindered. Venus aspects or
contacts are stronger than the house position or

any square formed by progressed or natal planets.
18°) The progressed chart should be examined more closely when two or more
aspects afflict the natal or progressed ASC or the natal or progressed MC degree.
19°) Important events often occur when two planets, one natal and one
progressed, are within orb Io. Interpret according to appearance. If it is a square, semi-
square or opposition, a difficult problem will have to be overcome. Sextiles and trines
produce beneficial conditions and events.
20°) Important events occur when two planets rule the same house, one being
natal and the other progressed, and major transits aspect both. For example, let's
suppose a person has Aries in the Second House. that of money, with natal Mars at
12° of Leo and transiting Uranus at 12° of Sagittarius making a trine to the ruler of
the natal House II. His progressed 2nd House is now in Taurus, with progressed
Venus at 15° Virgo and transiting Saturn at 15° Scorpio sextile the ruler of the
progressed 2nd House. This person will have several opportunities to earn money
through different matters, due to the transiting aspects of Uranus and Saturn.
21°) Control eclipses, lunations or major transits, verifying in which house they
fall, whether natal or progressed, and in turn the ruler in each case. For example, an
eclipse falling in the natal VI in square to the ruler of the progressed VI. The latter is
a verification of a House VI event, that is, the loss of a job or health.
22°) The progressed motion of the Sun is approximately Io per year. At age 45, the
progressed Sun will semi-square its own natal position. It is for this reason that very
few people make it through their 45th birthday without experiencing some major
crisis in their life. It could be an accident, a surgical operation, or perhaps something
happens to a close family member. By studying the letter in more detail, you can find
out who it will be for. Pay close attention to any progressed aspects that may be
acting at this time and particularly watch for major transits in aspect to natal or
progressed planets. Carefully evaluate the Solar and Lunar Eclipses during that year,
to see the possible effects that add to the progressions.
23°) The periods in which progressed Mercury, Venus and Mars become
stationary direct or stationary retrograde are very important. During these times they
remain acting at the same level and for a long time. If, for example, progressed Venus
turns retrograde at 23° Virgo and in turn trines the Moon at 23° Taurus, this type of
aspect can last 8 to 10 years. This trine can lead a person, among other things, to have
contact with the public and maintain this situation.

442
 29°) Also observe when the progressed MC makes a semi-square or square to the
natal or progressed ASC. Also the progressed ASC, when it makes a semi-square or
square to the natal or progressed MC. Sextiles and trines are, of course, very
beneficial because they help to diminish the effects of tensions or harmful states of
inharmonious aspects.
30°) Observe the possibility of the progressed ASC adversely aspecting its own
natal or progressed ruler. For example, progressed ASC at 18º Libra square natal
Venus at 18º Cancer, ruler of the progressed ASC. If the aspect is a sextile or trine, it
may be more beneficial. A person with progressed Sun at 24° Taurus trined his natal
Venus at 24° Virgo ruler of the progressed ASC and earned a large sum of money
that year.
31°) The progressed MC in disharmonious aspect with its own ruler is very
negative, as is what happens with the ASC and is very beneficial with favorable
aspects. The progression of the MC into a new sign shows a change in the
manifestation of oneself in the external world. It can represent a new chapter in life
depending on the new sign.

Considerations on the Progressed Moon

Although the contacts of the progressed Moon are not as important as those made
by the Sun and the Angles, or the aspects of Mercury, Venus and Mars, this is always
an indicator that should be consulted. The Moon moves an average of 12° per year in
the secondary progression, so in 2 1/2 years she aspects every natal and progressed
planet, as well as the angles, while moving in a given sign.
The Moon symbolizes our emotional responses, it has to do with our feelings of
security and emotional well-being. The Moon shows where we feel most
comfortable; for example, if it is in Aries, it will be in activity, but if it is in Taurus,
you will feel more comfortable in a calm, safe and stable place. This is the kind of
emotional energy a person needs to feel happy. When the progressed Moon contacts
Venus, our mood and disposition connect with matters such as friendship, marriage,
or creativity. When in contact with Saturn, our spirit becomes sad, and with Uranus
we feel a desire for rebellion; with Neptune we seek tranquility and contemplation.
And just as the Moon changes rapidly in the Zodiac, so does our mood. It is as one
astrologer says: “An emotional weather vane that always points in the same direction
as the winds of the heart.”
The Moon reflects our periods of pleasure and tension; it symbolizes our
emotional state and the resistance we put up to the most difficult experiences. AC-

mination of the matters that the Moon symbolizes in the Tenth House. Unless you
have other progressed planets or slow moving planets transiting through here, it is not
likely that there will be a change in occupation just because of the Moon. What it
can mean is a time of great sensitivity regarding the profession and for this reason
you will need to control the tendency to take everything that happens in a work-
related matter as if it were something personal. It is quite possible that you will -
change your approach or way of looking at matters related to your profession or
occupation, but also the general direction of your life.
Instead, we all have the progressed Moon conjunct the natal MC or the progressed
MC, within the first 28 years of life and every 28 years after that, so it is interesting to
remember what happened at the first conjunction, because this way you can get some
idea of what to expect when the conjunction repeats.
Unlike the conjunctions of the other progressed planets (1° orb), the progressed
Moon can be up to 3° orb before and after the conjunction, so that in total this type of
contact represents six months of time. If the conjunction is to the natal or progressed
MC, it will affect your sensitivity regarding something that appears in your
profession or in life in general. This is one of the most common positions that occurs
when getting married.
As we have already said, the average movement of the Moon is 12° per year, but
in reality it is very irregular; sometimes it moves a little less than 12° and other times
more than 15°. This annual movement is quite similar to that of Saturn by transit. The
progressed Moon moves around the Zodiac in 28 years and Saturn's revolution is 29
and a half years, so their movements are very similar. Hence, sometimes long periods
of trouble, ill luck, misfortune, etc. happen due to conjunction, square or opposition
of transiting Saturn to the progressed Moon; but if the Moon is fast, say 14 or 15° per
year, the transit of Saturn will pass in a short time and you will be able to get out of
that unfortunate period, otherwise there will be a tendency to have to struggle against
adversity and if other bad directions or progressions accompany it, it may indicate
complete ruin of your life. Ancient astrologers called this situation "the hunt for the
Moon", but logically, the degree of negative influence is determined by the intensity
of the influences and the disposition that these planets have at birth.
Of all the progressed planetary factors, this is the one that most specifically
relates to specific events. It indicates external changes, the fact of having or not
having success; it has to do with the beginning, culmination and end of a life process
cycle. As the Moon also passes through the house cusps, it indicates definite changes
in the concrete efforts of life, although more markedly when the Moon crosses the
four angles.
Let us also remember that the Signs and Houses represent different areas of
experience; the Signs are experiences of a psychological nature, they are in our mind,
while those of the Houses are of observation or are experienced in the external
environment that surrounds us. The progressed Moon passing through a sign means
that you need to learn something, with the Moon progressing in a house, the emphasis

44
6
is on action and you need to adapt to your circumstances. Although for the purpose of
clear interpretation we separate the two systems of symbols, in the practice of
predictive astrology we must never think of a sign or a house in isolation; the two are
inseparable and one cannot be fully understood without the other.

THE REGRESSIONS
(or converse progressions)

Converse progressions or regressions come from progressing the horoscope

"backwards." The procedure for erecting a converse chart is the same as the "one day
equals one year" method, except that one counts backward in time from the date of
birth the number of years (actually days) of interest to find the corresponding Index
Day.
A conversion horoscope gives insight into innate behavior and karma. To
understand more fully the potentialities that appear in a progressed horoscope for a
given year after birth, one must study the reverse chart drawn up for the same number
of years before birth. Astrological factors linking the natal chart with the progressed
and converted charts give clues to karmic problems as described by the natal-convert
union and indicate the means by which karmic relationships may be better worked
out, as shown by the corresponding progressed indications.
Many people find the idea of regressions unacceptable, but if one rationally
admits that each day that passes after birth means a year of life, this same idea carried
back from the day of birth is an extension of the same idea, reinforcing the concept
that the past, present and future coexist in a global way. Esoteric astrologers establish
that just as the days after birth, that is, normal progressions and transits, provide
opportunities for us to exercise our free will and modify our karma, regressions have
to do with our past and, therefore, refer to our karma or the circumstances that happen
in this incarnation, due to the events and choices we have made in the past.
Converse cards reveal hidden aspects of personality, as well as latent talents and
deep-rooted psychological motivations. They

447
to 1970, was located at 17055' Leo.

The calculation of the returned Solar Arc will be:

Natal Sun 4°5T Virgo AR= 156°41.78'

Sun Returned 17055' Leo AR= 140°21.50'
Solar Arc Returned = 16020.28’

Proceeding as already explained, we obtain: MC Returned = 16°27' Cancer.

Searching the House Table for the latitude of Buenos Aires (34°36'S), the closest
MC to 16°27' Cancer, we find that the returned ASC is 27019' Libra.
Likewise, if we want to calculate month by month where the returned Moon is
during 1987, we make the following calculation.

Moon returns. 1987 25°32' Scorpio (Index Day 11/8/70) - Moon regr. 1988
12°36* Scorpio (Index Day 10/8/70)
Diff. 1 2056' div. by 12 = 1 °04' per month

So:

01/31/1987 Moon returns. at 25°32' Scorpio 02/28/1987 Moon regr. at 24°28'

Scorpio 03/31/1987 Moon regr. at 23°24' Scorpio 04/30/1987 Moon regr. at

12/31/1987 Moon regr. at 13°40' Scorpio 01/01/1987 Moon regr. at 12036'
Scorpio

As the reader will have noticed, the Solar Arc technique expands the possibility of
having more contacts with the natal chart than the old system of Secondary
Progressions. The main problem with progressions is that while the Sun, Moon,
Mercury, Venus and Mars move enough to form aspects, the outer planets beyond
Mars advance only a few degrees in a lifetime. Pluto, for example, moves Io in 80
years, so the use of these progressions is declining in favor of Solar Arcs, which
allow all planets to be directed equally.
For greater certainty in prediction, transits can be used in conjunction with Solar
Arcs. These Arcs determine the years in which the influences are felt most intensely,
while the transits indicate the days or weeks when the actual event occurs.
The directions of the Solar Arc are, in essence, like a wave, since their
movements are regular throughout life, varying gradually within a maximum and a

449
minimum length, according to the movement of the Sun. Determining the type of
energy involved in Solar Arcs is relatively easy, the difficulty lies in knowing exactly
when it occurs. Transits, on the other hand, have the opposite characteristic, that is,
they can be located in time. Hence a more reliable prediction can be established using
both systems.
Transits are mechanisms for the discharge of Solar Arcs or Progressions,
especially those with faster movement such as the transits of the Sun, Moon and
Mercury; even over other transits of slow planets. For example, if transiting Uranus is
square or opposite the natal Sun, this lasts for about a month or more. The event
indicated by this transit will be discharged when the Sun. Moon or Mercury transit
the position of Uranus in the Zodiac. Throughout the month, this event exists
potentially, but the true moment of its concrete manifestation happens when it is
triggered by a fast-moving planet. The greater the number of planets involved in a
configuration, the greater the chance of the event occurring.
In all types of prediction, the planets, whether by progression, by solar arc or by
transit, must be related by aspect to the positions of the natal horoscope.

A CASE STUDY
As an example of the action of Solar Progressions and Arcs, let's now look at the
birth chart of Juan Domingo Perón.
Born on October 8, 1895 in Lobos, Province of Buenos Aires (Lat. 35°11' S and
Long. 59°05'0) at 7am. 47 m. 34 s. (time corrected by Alexander Marr).

HO + 7h 47m 34s
4h 16m 48s (Patron meridian of Cordoba)
YOU = I2h 04m 22s

Calculation Date: (Using ephemeris calculated for Greenwich noon).

Since TU is very close to noon, the only correction that needs to be made is
4m22s, which according to the scale, is equivalent to 1 day. Since TU is pm, the
calculation date must be searched backwards, therefore it will be October 7, 1895.
If we want to use the Sidereal Time method already described above, we must
make the following calculation:

TS of 10/8/1895 (12 h) Period between 13h 07m 28s

the TU and the next day
Addition: 23h 55m 38s
Minus one cycle: TS: 37h 03m 06s

Then looking at the ephemerides from 13h 03m 06s
October 8, 1895 backwards, since it is TU
pm. We find that it corresponds to only one day before, that is, October 7, 1895, and
this is the Calculation Date.
So, let's look at some Index Days that correspond to certain years of your life in
which there were important events:

In both systems we observe that there are sufficiently strong and significant
contacts of this event; however, Solar Arcs seem to be more evident.
Both the Sun's progression and its solar arc (which are always very similar within
a few minutes of each other) came to a conjunction with Uranus in the 12th House, a
dangerous aspect, given the possibility of sudden, unfortunate events (12th House
affairs in the sign of death). Scorpio). From a psychological point of view, this
progression tends to be excessively independent, separative and arbitrary, with
strange reactions. This progression is typical of sudden losses, in this case family
losses, since the Sun is ruler of X (father) and Uranus is ruler of IV (family). In the
death of the father, the MC or Saturn is almost always involved. In the case of Perón,
the progressed MC (19° 20' Virgo) is in square orb with Neptune, ruler of V. the
peak which is the VIII from the X, that is. derived house meaning death of the father
among other things. The transit of the Sun on the day of death occurred precisely at
this progression of the Sun.
Another important progression at that time occurred with Mars conjunct
Mercury/Saturn, a dangerous period again in the sense that it attracts disputes, fights
and unpleasant experiences as a result of giving in to passions and acting in a violent
manner. Once again it also indicates misfortune for the father.
Planetary Solar Arcs are even more revealing. In addition to the Sun conjunct
Uranus. Pluto square the Sun/Mars conjunction is very significant. Pluto in the natal
House VIII, both death factors, acts destructively with the father's significator.

Here we observe that the progressed Sun came into trine with natal Jupiter and in
conjunction with natal ASC within orb; these contacts are

45
5
very auspicious. The transit of Neptune at 6°48' Libra is in sextile to the ASC, helping
to discharge these progressions in the sense of giving a lot of personal sensitivity,
compassion and evident charisma before others. On the other hand, the progressed
MC reached the trine with the Moon in House VII, a favorable opportunity to obtain
an increase in popularity and support from the people. It is also an indication of
marriage. At this time the natal Sun is closest to the progressed MC, giving notable
opportunities to receive honors and succeed in one's ambitions as promised in the
radical.
The progressed Sun had entered the sign of Sagittarius about five years ago, thus
giving opportunities to develop or expand one's educational levels, especially abroad,
to receive honors or distinctions in higher education, to write and publish articles or -
books, also becoming interested in politics. When it comes to a trine with Jupiter, it
stimulates the tendency to realise a long-cherished ambition with the support of
influential people; it expands and increases one's social position and prestige; a very
prosperous and expansive period in which opportunities present themselves with great
ease.
The Sun is now in orb conjunction with the ASC, enabling a great life force with a
firm desire to achieve one's goals of leading and having creative ability. There is an
over-exaltation of the ego (for example, allowing and encouraging his name to be
used for streets, cities, institutions, etc. His permanent participation in public events,
always being the outstanding figure).
These contacts of the Sun predispose one to marriage, as does the opposition that
the Sun has with the Moon in House VII. There is a desire for stability, together with
a tendency towards domestic things. This is a strong influence of harmonizing the
masculine and feminine principles of human nature. If we look at progressed Venus, -
the planet of affection, we see that it has progressed into a trine with Neptune in
House VII, confirming the fact of falling in love and having romantic and pleasant
emotional experiences (Neptune also rules House V), giving an increase in popularity,
especially with the female sex. The progressed Moon in House V is another indication
of living in a time linked to affections. It is approaching opposition with the natal Sun
and this means the beginning of a new cycle of experience on an emotional level (Full
Moon in the progression).
In fact, if we study Perón's House VII (marriage) in depth, we observe the sign of
Gemini at its cusp, with the Moon and two other

45
7
 planets located there. This means a tendency to contract several marriages and to
have three different experiences in this sense, according to the nature of each planet.
The Moon is the planet closest to the cusp and this indicates that you are emotionally -
sensitive, but also fickle to the needs of others, as well as easily influenced by the
opinions and reactions of society.
The positions of the planets by Solar Arc are also very eloquent. However, there
are three contacts on the Mercury/Saturn conjunction in House XII, emphasizing the
bitter, sarcastic and biting tone of his speeches (Scorpio).

I lie. The Mercury/Saturn conjunction now forms a Yod with the Moon and Jupiter, a
configuration that produces unexpected events related to the illness and death of the
spouse. The Mercury/Saturn conjunction in the natal 12th House is in square to
Jupiter and in quincunx to the natal Moon and now highlights these negative contacts
through the quincunxes of Mercury from the 2nd House, that of finances, but which is
the 8th House derived from the 7th (death of the spouse). Pluto in solar arc also
announces an important death in your life. From the sign of Leo, the sign of affection,
it makes a square to the Mercury/Saturn conjunction in Scorpio, once again putting in
contact energies that were already in disharmony in the natal chart (quincunx).
Mercury is ruler of VII (spouse) and during the days before Eva Perón's death,
transiting Mars made the conjunction activating the direction.

Another contact at this time was that of Uranus. This planet squared the natal
Sun/Mars conjunction from the natal House II, tending to bring about an unexpected
and disruptive change. As a result, it also tends to give a more thoughtless and
irritable or rebellious attitude. This solar arc direction was discharged with greater
force at the time when transiting Uranus was square to the natal Sun/Mars conjunction
and in opposition to solar arc Uranus. The progressed ASC at 26° Capricorn was in

460
semi-square to the North Node. This implies that the VII is also in sesquiquadrature
with this Node, another direction that confirms separation from a loved one. Finally,
let us point out that the midpoints can be advanced, just like a planet by Solar Arc; in
this case the Sun/Mars conjunction has as its midpoint 15°25' Libra which with the
solar arc of this event reaches 12024' Sagittarius, further tightening the contact with
Pluto on the date of the event.

The progressed MC has come into conjunction with natal Mars and this is a time
of having aggressive feelings, stubbornness, being intransigent, not giving others the
opportunity to express their political convictions (Libra). The progressed Sun reached
the opposition of the Pluto/Neptune midpoint. Of this contact, Ebertin says:

Now we find that the progressed ASC has moved into the sign of Aquarius, having
actually already done so three years earlier. It indicates a notable change in the
expression of personality, as if coming to light after having gone through a long

463
path of hard and responsible experiences through the sign of Capricorn. Choose your
friends now, because they will help you manifest those qualities that you like to
develop or show. There is a desire to be free and explore new horizons. When the
cusp of VII reached the semi-square with Venus, that is when he married for the third
time (3 planets in natal VII). This progression was accompanied by that of Mercury
(ruler of VII) in opposition to Neptune and in trine to the MC. It is significant that that
year, the Solar Arc Vertex came into conjunction with this Neptune. The Vertex is
also known as the factor of wish fulfillment, but wishes are capable of being fully
achieved in a perverse way or through suffering, tragedy or sacrifice, especially when
it falls in House VIII or House V of the natal chart. In this case, in the 7th House, that
of marriage, desires are somewhat unrealistic or ideas about it (Gemini) may be
confusing. However, the ability to manage this relationship is given by one's self-
development and self-understanding indicated by the Anti-Vertex, that is, the point
opposite the Vertex. It is good practice to insert the Vertex (abbreviated Vx) into the
horoscope and study its connection to events or relationships. The calculations to find
the positions of the Vertex and the Antivertex are found in the magazine
"ASTROLOGY" Number 95.

The progressed Moon has come into opposition with the natal Sun, indicating a
difficult period in which you must face an important decision that has been delayed
for a long time. Unless one seeks compromise, complementarity or cooperation
through the desires of others, this aspect can lead to conflicts, separations and
confrontations, something that did not occur in the case of Perón. Instead, he faced the
situation and accepted the possibility of unpopularity. The Moon is now progressing
in the Fifth House and is thus ready to express itself or manifest itself, leaving behind
the confrontation with oneself, the deepening and intensification of the self of the
previous house: the Fourth.
Progressed Mercury is quincunx to Jupiter in the 9th House, indicating a tendency
to want to take on many projects at once or to be forced to break some of your
promises. His health is deteriorating due to excessive wear and tear on his strength
and fulfillment of obligations.

465
 There is a very significant solar arc position for his return to the country, after 18
years of living in exile (Uranus is at the 18th degree and is the ruler of the natal House
IV, being in Scorpio and in House XII, square to the MC). The Saturn/Uranus
midpoint is in exact quincunx to Pluto. The 12th House is the 4th from the 9th: home
abroad). This position is that of Uranus in trine to the Moon in Gemini: a journey, an
important change in your life, a return to your homeland. Sudden change of plans
abroad (Uranus opposition Jupiter). On the other hand, Uranus is in sextile to the natal
ASC, indicating a new feeling of freedom, giving opportunities to undertake new
actions, contacts with the support of friends. Neptune is also square to the ASC-DESC
axis; it is a negative aspect and disillusionment in personal matters. There is great
mental confusion, inability to discern correctly, with the danger of being deceived by
those in whom one has placed one's trust. This aspect of Neptune also indicates the
action of a hidden illness.

once again an irreversible process regarding the loss of vitality, an energy beyond the
control of the native (Pluto).

Natal Jupiter
The directions through the solar arc, apart from the Sun, are also very negative.
Uranus, ruler of IV, makes a trine to the Moon and a square to Saturn, this is an
influence that increases the possibility of separation or death. On the other hand,
Neptune in square with the Moon and the ASC-DESC axis, points out illness and a
process of undermining vital energy.
Midpoints can also be progressed with the Solar Arc. We will take as an example
two directions for Perón's death, which are characteristic of this type of event. When
PM Saturn/Mars, which is an energy with high destructive and violent power, is
advanced by the Solar Arc of death: 79°18' falls in square to the Sun, one's own death
(Mars/Saturn = 26°27' Libra + 79° 18' = 15°45' Capricorn). The other connected PM
is Sun/Saturn = 25°59* Libra + 79°18' = 15°17' Capricorn square natal Mars, a -
direction that produces inhibition and separation.

Calculation of regressions

For the student who wishes to practice this technique, as already explained, we
give below a list of the same events from J.'s life. D. Perón used for the progressions,
in order to take into account the new Index Days to calculate the Regressions.

FINAL WORDS
In predictive astrology, the time of an event can be detected with certainty, as well
as the type of event; but what is difficult to determine, or know, is the amount of
energy involved. A traffic accident can sometimes cause a near-fatal accident, and at
other times, it can go almost unnoticed. The same goes for Progressions, which are in
effect for months. The solution to this problem is given by the relationship between
the unconscious and the conscious of man. External situations (transits) are reflections
of energetic processes within one (progressions) that are seeking to become
conscious. The energy that seems to belong to external objects is actually projections
of ourselves onto them. Difficulties in allowing energy to flow freely become -
obstructions, blockages and lack of communication, which are the origin of all the
psychological problems and illnesses we have.
And as the astrologer AT says Mann: “Scientists have begun to realize that their
theories about natural phenomena, their laws, and mathematical formulas are all
creations of the mind itself, rather than belonging to an objective reality. This change
in attitude is due to the importance that is being given to understanding the relative
position of the observer with respect to what is observed” (Einstein's Relativity). And
he adds: “The complete picture of reality uses many hypothetical models of reality.
Only when they are interchangeable with all others can they be valid to our
understanding. The tangible gives way to the intangible and the meditations of ancient
mystics are beginning to be considered real. “Physical energy and psychic energy are
obviously reflections of each other, aspects of a single underlying reality.”
Does free will exist or not? This is the eternal question, as old as astrology. Many,
if not all, astrologers vehemently assert that free will exists and there is no
contradiction when studying the birth chart in order to predict the future.
An old astrological saying holds: “The stars incline but do not compel.” However,
there is much to discuss about the scope of inclination and compulsion. To what
extent is man capable of acting against his own inclinations? This is not easy and
many interesting stories serve well to illustrate this problem. I will cite one as an
example. Alan Leo, the famous English astrologer, once warned a person that a
financial loss was imminent. To avoid danger, this man transferred all his assets into
his wife's name. Three weeks later, the wife escaped with the driver. Could this man
avoid financial ruin? I think so, as long as he had done everything possible to change
his materialistic approach to life, it is possible that even the deception he suffered
would not have occurred.
The purpose of Astrology - and of this book - is not to make specific predictions
about events, but to provide trends and insight that enable improved freedom of
choice. By being aware of our problems, the challenges and opportunities that life -
presents to us for our future and doing something about them, we can change our lives
for the better.
In short, Astrology strengthens free will, but our level of development is

46
9
fundamental. Those who can focus their energies in a constructive way always have
fewer problems, and the difficulties are not as crucial and painful as those of those
who get entangled in their emotions. Pain is sometimes a necessary experience; it is
the result of a wrong choice or a missed opportunity in life (sometimes from
experiences from a previous life) but when the meaning of the experience is fully
understood and assimilated, then we are freer and can make greater progress. The
difference depends on how we react to circumstances and people. Each day presents
itself as the result of events that we previously generated through our actions,
decisions and thoughts, and each day also offers the opportunity to renew ourselves
and improve our lot in life.
But, really, the future is not to be feared. Periods of tension simply indicate
problems that need to be resolved. They represent messages that we must listen to.
Precisely, one of the functions of Astrology is to offer a broader perspective on these
messages, shedding sufficient light on the difficulties and how to face them.

"The fault, my dear Brutus, is not in our stars, but in

ourselves, who have subordinated ourselves."

Shakespeare, "Julius Caesar".

TEST I
NATAL ASTROLOGY

SOME EVALUATION TESTS APPLIED

AT THE ASTROLOGICAL CENTER OF BUENOS AIRES

CHOOSE THE RELEVANT RELATIONSHIP, COMBINING SIGN AND

HOUSE

Signs in the Houses

The way each sign expresses itself depends on the planets that are in the sign and
the house or houses that contain the sign. The sign or signs of each house indicate the
requirements or demands of that house. The purpose of this exercise is to compare the
meaning of a house with the characteristics of the signs. Although a house generally
contains more than one sign and therefore it is better to combine the characteristics of
all of them, in this exercise we will take into consideration the sign of the cusp.

Planets in Aspect

Two or more planets in aspect act together in some way. Their energies combine
with a “harmonious” or “inharmonious” quality, depending on the nature of the
aspect. However, it is impossible to determine from the chart whether the person is
using these energies in a positive or negative way. A square can create obstacles to
overcome or it can indicate effort or tension in accomplishing something or
successfully solving a problem. A trine can give a condition so comfortable and
pleasant that its energies turn out to be negative for the development of the individual.

ANSWERS TO TEST II

1) In the environment around you.

2) No, this method is the one used in secondary progressions.
3) ) It is more important when it involves the same planets that are related in the
birth chart and it is less important when they are not connected in the same chart, but
also when the planet is moving quickly.
4) No, in the 10th House it can alter one's occupation or profession, business
circumstances, or other interests connected with the external environment. In the
Third House it will affect the mind or communications through resentments, negative
thoughts or accidents.
5) Domestic or family matters and even real estate matters are resolved -
favorably. expand or benefit.
6) Being direct around 2o before and after the partiI aspect. During stationary and
retrograde periods, transits of fast-moving planets, such as Mercury, Venus, and Mars,
can act in the same way as slow-moving planets.
7) About two months.

8) Two to three days.

0º
9) New moon. If the Moon is at latitude or very close, it becomes a solar

eclipse.
10) Relationship life becomes the most important thing and makes you focus all
your attention on this area. The future of marriage or any other strong relationship
will be tested.
11) Within the individual himself.
12) Everything that is promised in the individual's birth chart.
13) Yes; planets in Signs determine attitudes. An individual's attitude toward a
particular problem can increase or decrease the difficulties.
14) Saturn in Cancer square the Sun in Libra. Because both are in positions
contrary to their nature (Saturn in detriment and the Sun in fall).
15) The Semisextile is more important in Progressions.
16) Jupiter square Mercury. On the contrary, the Sun square Saturn is a hard
experience to live and very realistic.
17) About 100 meters long per month. depending on whether the Moon is fast or
slow.
18) Converse progressions, or regressions, are those that are measured backwards
from the date of birth, at the rate of “one day equals one year.”
19) Remember that there is no hard and fast rule regarding this, but generally,
planets like Mercury. Progressed Venus and Mars, their effects are felt with 10 of orb
before and after part 1. The progressed Sun has something more and the total duration
of its influence can reach up to about three years. The orb of the progressed Moon is
about 3o before and after a conjunction (6 months); for other aspects, the orb is about
Io
.
20) About 5* of arc, since the annual movement is approximately 60', which by
Solar Arc, is the movement of the Sun progressed per year.
21) The monthly movement of the progressed ASC can be more or less 5' of arc,
depending on its speed, which is not constant and varies according to the latitude of
the geographic place of birth.
22) The monthly movement of the progressed Sun is 5' of arc.
23) Three times maximum and in exceptional cases four, if the natal ASC is in
the last degrees of a sign. When the progressed ASC moves from one sign to another,
our lifestyle enters a period of profound disruption and crisis or rather, we need new
experiences. The characteristics of the sign that the ASC enters enlighten us about the
nature of this new style.
24) None. Any aspect of the Moon, whether natal, by solar arc or secondary, as
well as by transit, carries its nature implicitly and stimulates the natal house of the
Moon, the house of the progressed Moon and the house where Cancer is at its cusp. In
addition, all aspects of the birth chart will receive energy, depending on how the
native focuses his attention or thoughts. If the Moon is calculated by Right Ascension
instead of geocentric longitude, it will differ by a few minutes. However, this does not
change the interpretation. It merely changes the moment at which the energy is
discharged.

 The purpose of current predictive
astrology is to help human beings become more aware
of themselves and their environment, providing them with
an internal understanding that will improve
their freedom of choice, clarifying the nature of
the psychological moment they are going through and
feeling it as a guide in the infinite and valuable task
of creating the future.

One of the basic principles of nature is

that everything is constantly changing
and in this continuous becoming
day becomes night and night becomes day;
Likewise, each planetary pattern in the
sky changes constantly. Astrology correlates
these changing
patterns with our personal lives and with the world
at large. We have good times and bad times.
Nothing remains constant or the same,
everything changes according to a divine plan.
This book is to be used in conjunction with
THE MODERN ASTROLOGY HANDBOOK.
Its author, Eloy Ricardo Dumón,
was an astrologer and director of!
Astrological Center of Buenos Aires,
editor of the magazine
'Astrology' and professor for many years
at said institution.
