Pluto Transits Through the Houses – for Forecasting Astrologers
Introduction
In this post I’m going to share with you, key energy shifts that you can anticipate when Pluto transits the houses of your chart.
When your start with transits you typically begin from the outer planets inwards towards the Sun.
The first planet that you will study will be Pluto.
Pluto takes a long time to pass through each sign.
It can take years to transit the houses of your chart.
Pluto’s Time in Each Sign
Taking into account that Pluto will retrograde over signs boundaries I am only looking at the first time Pluto enters a new sign in all cases.
This will give an average time for the planet to be in each sign, although yes, it will retrograde at the beginning of the ingress and go back to the previous sign for a while and at the end of a sign it will move into the new signa finally to retrograde back for a while into the old sign.
But all things being equal, that is why I’m taking the first ingress of Pluto into each sign that has occurred relatively recently.
Pluto Through the Signs
Pluto was in Leo from 1939 to 1956 when it first entered Virgo. Pluto took 17 years to cover 30 degrees.
Pluto was in Virgo from 1956 to 1971 when it entered Libra. Pluto was 15 years in Virgo.
Pluto was in Libra from 1971 to 1983 when it entered Scorpio. Pluto was 14 years in Libra.
Pluto was in Scorpio from 1983 to 1995 when it entered Sagittarius. Pluto was 12 years in Scorpio.
Pluto was in Sagittarius from 1995 to 2008 when it went into Capricorn. Pluto was 13 years in Sagittarius.
Pluto has been in Capricorn since 2008 and will remain there until 2023 when it will go into Aquarius. Pluto will be 15 years in Capricorn.
Perihelion and Aphelion of Pluto
Perihelion is the closest a planet gets to the Sun and for Pluto, perihelion was actually within Neptune’s orbit on September 5th, 1989 at 13 degrees Scorpio.
Pluto’s aphelion when it is the farthest away from the Sun, the last time was over one hundred years ago in 1867 in Taurus.
Pluto was in Taurus from 1852 to 1882 which means that Pluto spent 30 years in Taurus.
Kepler’s Second Law
Kepler’s 2nd law of planetary motion states that, “Planets sweep out equal areas in equal time.”
This means that when a planet is closer to the Sun, at perihelion, it moves faster, as Pluto did through Scorpio. W
hen a planet is further from the Sun, at aphelion, it moves slower as Pluto did when it transited Taurus.
Pluto transited Scorpio in a brief twelve years but took thirty years to transit Taurus.
Having said all that let’s have a look at some key phrases that you can anticipate when Pluto transits the houses of your natal chart.
To find which house Pluto is transiting for you, find 25 degrees of Capricorn and decide which house that is for you. It will be different for everyone.
For myself Pluto is transiting my sixth house at the moment (January 2021).
Initial House Ingress
The most important part of transiting Pluto, or any planet for that matter, is the time it first enters a new house.
That event will bring a period of usually one whole year when the changes relating to the new house are the most felt by the person whose chart it is.
By the time Pluto has been in a house for five to ten yeasr you do get used to the energy.
When in a particular house, if Pluto then conjoins a planet in your house it will it trigger more responses in you.
And when transiting Pluto makes general aspects to the planets in your chart, but that is the topic for another time.

Mars retrograde 2020 occurs from Wednesday, September 9, to Friday, November 13. When a planet is said to retrograde, it becomes more powerful and its energies amplify. It is considered one of the strongest events in astrology. There are certain things that need to be considered about retrograde so that it can be beneficial and all its negative effects could be minimized. Mars considered Hero of the astrological chart, which can give immense opportunities yet its energies should be carried in with caution.
What exactly is Mars Retrograde?
In Astrology, Mars rules life aspects like sex, desire, action, etc in one’s life, and when this retrograde effects, these areas should be taken care of. Fire signs ruled by Mars finds it more difficult to deal with this situation. Aries out of all signs feel a bit more affected in this transit. They fail to hold any momentum over things when this happens. Small fights, low confidence, and low sex drives can frequently make their presence during this time. Also, a person influenced by this retrograde can take regrettable steps.
Mars is considered “masculine” and any steps taken in this period will be filled with maximized masculinity. They will tend to misuse their energies and dominance because of which they will lack happiness and prosperity.
During the Mars Retrograde, there will be a time of sudden outcomes and changes that can affect a person’s life drastically. If the position of Mars is favourable then this period can make them achieve many big things. For instance, growth in property, abundance, and confidence is the beneficial effect of Mars.
How long will it last?
The retrograde usually takes from 8 to 10 weeks. In order to get more specific details as to when the Mars retrograde will affect you most, you need to check and study house retrograde Mars in your own chart during the process. This will make you know things like when you will be frustrated and the most unlikable time to take any decision etc.
Who will be affected?
Mars Retrograde is a grand astrological event, thus, it will impart changes in the life of every zodiac sign. However, out of all, the most affected sign will be Aries and the people with the sun in Aries. If there is retrograde Mars in a person’s birth chart then they may experience problems like anxiety, depression, dealing with self-determination, sexual life, etc.
How can I use this retrograde to my advantage?
Aries will be affected most in this retrograde as they are the first sign of the zodiac. So they need to be more cautious about this period. This period demands enough care from everyone. Self-care is very essential for this retrograde. It can be anything, reading books, attending horse races, or getting a manicure. Self-care is whatever makes you happy. To make the best out of this time, you can also practice certain remedies as stated below:
These remedies will protect you from any unfavourable events due to the Retrograde of Mars.
Avoid the use of any weapon and do not buy any weapon during this period.
Remove any harmful tool from your house before starting of the retrograde.
This period is unfavourable for buying any new vehicle and buy one can bring bad luck.
Do not invest in any property or real estate. That can make you lose your invested money.
Avoid shifting to a new house during Mars retrograde.
Try postponing any operation or surgeries if scheduled during the period.
Court cases in the retrograde can have a negative effect on your financial losses.
The Mantra of Mars should be chanted religiously daily in the period.
Hanuman Chalisa can help the person reduce all negative effects.
The cosmos will always take care of your feelings and you do not have to unnecessarily stress yourself out in this period. These unfavourable events can always be handled with a conscious mind and strong beliefs. The most common problem that one may come across is uncertainty in this period. Your attitude will change from being very confident about things to be sceptical about everything. This period can also bring enormous happiness in your life if your Mars is positioned well. You will feel confident, your sexual health will revive, your relationships will get stronger and you will be able to gain financial profits.

Inspiration
You may know that I have been teaching astrology classes for many years. My speciality of late is to provide world-class astrology teaching and this I do through my One-to-One classes. You can find out more about these classes here.
But, what I’ve found is, that I have quickly reached my capacity to teach One-to-One classes and my time is totally consumed with these. Also, for many people, these classes were out of reach due to the cost.
Enter Online Courses.
By creating the same class content that I teach in my One-to-One classes, and replicating it in the online classes.
With this initiative, I believe that I have reached a happy medium for my students.
The online courses are a more affordable option to learn quality astrology with me.
Online Course Delivery
These courses will be delivered via a robust, high-level professional course provider.
You will need a computer, or smartphone and internet.
Example Content
There will be sixteen lessons in each course.
In each course, there will be mainly videos and but each class will contain multi-media, resources, handout, quizzes and other valuable content.
The videos in my online courses will follow the theme and style of all of my YouTube videos on the Starzology Channel and you can check them out.
Additionally, as you go through the online courses there are downloads and handouts for you to practice what you learn.
There will be a quiz after most lessons and worksheets to help keep you on track.
Pricing
I will be adding one lesson at a time and for those who sign up earlier rather than later, your costs will be substantially lower and remain so.
Once you sign up, you will automatically receive notification of the next classes as I prepare them.
If you wait until the end, when all 16 lessons are complete, the price will be higher.
Courses Overview
Beginner Astrologer’s Online Course Content
First, we will have the Beginner Astrologer’s Online Course going live.
This course will be rolled out in early 2020.
This is first-year astrology learning and is suitable for beginners.
Intermediate Astrologer’s Online Course Content
Depending on how long the beginner’s course takes me to create, I will then move onto the Intermediate Astrologer’s Course content.
This course polishes your natal chart readings with a high level of detail.
Advanced Astrologer’s Online Course Content
Finally, I will have the advanced astrologer’s online course content ready for you. I can’t say when just yet.
This is the forecasting course and covers four main topics in astrological forecasting.
Ongoing Course Creation
As you can imagine there is a lot to do, but I shall press onwards creating all the classes for you.
Reading between the lines, this also indicates that I will be fazing out my One-on-One classes and may no longer offer them after December 2020.
All students who are registered with me now will continue to receive their classes with no interruption if they wish.
Calling all Aspiring Astrologers
If you want to get a peek into the new Starzology Online Astrology Courses for a nominal fee as they roll out in the next few months then this is for you.
We are seeking creative criticism and want to tap into your eye for detail to make our online courses meaningful for all viewers.

With the addition of each class, the cost to join will increase per class. Finally, when class 16 is launched it will be at full price.
So if you join after class number 1 it is free for you. But when class number 2 drops there is a small fee and a subsequent slow increase as more classes are added.

Wine and the zodiac actually have a lot in common.
Both have elements that change over time and have seasons and situations in which they shine best.
Each sign in the zodiac wheel compliments the others in a specific way, just as wines compliment different foods. There are already so many resources out there about how to pair food and wine.
Today I’m going to do something a little different and tell you which wine compliments your zodiac sign and why.
Fire Signs
Aries and Petite Sirah
Petite Sirah Profile
Style: Full Body, Dry, High Tannin, High Alcohol
Flavors: Sugar Plum, Blueberry, Dark Chocolate, Black Pepper, Black Tea
Though it’s a common California wine, Petite Sirah comes from a French grape called “Peloursin”. This is a rare grape, with a very flavorful profile. This wine is popular for its bold, fruity flavors which contrast its dark red color.
Aries is the first sign in the zodiac wheel. It falls under the Fire element.
As the first sign, Aries is open to new opportunities. They move through life knowing that they’re leading the way for a new adventure, even if their adventures are short lived.
As a fire sign, Aries tend to have bold emotions at all times. It is not unlike an Aries to show some tough love.
To an Aries it means they are doing right by you. This blunt honesty is what makes them a loyal friend and lover.
Petit Sirah Pairing
Petite Sirah is full of aggressive sweet and bitter notes. Similar to Aries, who are bold in their own right, giving you a refreshing solution to a problem.
Within all its powerful flavors, Petite Sirah is good for your health. The bitterness is an effect of the high level of tannins in this kind of wine.
Like an Aries’ brutal honesty can leave a sour taste in your mouth, so can a Petite Sirah.
Among its sweet notes of blueberries and sugar plums, Petite Sirahs have the bitterness of dark chocolate and black pepper to spice things up.
Life is never boring with an Aries, this flavorful wine pairing will not disappoint.
Leo and Champagne
Champagne Profile
Style: Light Body, High Acidity, Intensely Dry
Flavors: Citrus, Peach, White Cherry, Almond, Toasty
Champagne comes in a variety of brut, dry, and sweet bodies with deep flavors that pair great with seafood or crunchy appetizers.
You know Champagne as the world’s go-to bubbly used to celebrate special occasions like weddings, holidays, and Friday nights.
Leo Traits
July 23 – August 22 | The Lion
Strength: Ambitious, Loyal, Generous, Enthusiastic, Leader
Weakness: Egoistic, Lazy, Stubborn, Arrogant
Out of all the Fire signs, Leos yearns most to make an impression.
In fact, it’s their number one priority. Their personality is powerful and attractive making them hard to miss.
As far as love languages go, this Fire sign is most fluent in Words of Affirmation. As much as they receive compliments, they’ll give them right back to you.
Leo’s warm heart and eagerness to do well in everything they set out to do is what makes up their magnetic confidence and loyalty.
However, if Leos are mistreated, they won’t hesitate to move on from what is making them unhappy.
Champagne Pairing
A Leo’s loyalty is unmatched so long as it’s reciprocated.
They know what they deserve and will not budge. Fire signs need the proper attention to feel someone is worth the affection they are giving.
When you don’t fulfill the needs of a Leo, their confidence dwindles. Just like a Champagne left unattended, that can’t help but go flat.
Both Champagne and Leos can be dry or sweet depending on their style.
Regardless of the details, there is no better pair to celebrate with than Leos and Champagne.
Sagittarius and Malbec
Malbec Notes
Style: Full Body, Dry, Low Acidity, Low Tannin, High Alcohol
Flavors: Red Plum, Blackberry, Vanilla, Tobacco, Cocoa
Like many other wines, Malbec originated in France. However, most vineyards that produce this wine are in Argentina.
Malbec has a deep and sweet full body bound to leave you wanting more. It’s cocoa and vanilla tones give this red wine a smooth finish every time.
Sagittarius Traits
November 22 – December 21 | The Archer
Strength: Idealistic, Adventurous, Persistent, Optimistic, Romantic
Weakness: Competitive, Impulsive, Impatient, Overachiever, Blunt
Sagittarians are the social butterflies among the zodiac. They are known to be very positive and outgoing. They are always up for sharing information with others.
As the Archer, they seek out as much knowledge as they can find.
A Sagittarian’s curiosity is limitless especially regarding love, philosophy, and religion. They yearn to be free, therefore knowledge and adventure is what they pursue most. This can make them a bit stubborn, as they hate being told the can’t do something.
Malbec Pairing
Malbec is a fun and strong wine with strong notes of oak and black fruits.
As the last of the Fire signs, Sagittarians can be as aggressive in their passion as they are in their truth-seeking.
Unlike other wines, a Malbec’s finish does not last, and the same can be said with the adventures of a Sagittarius.
Just like Aries, Sagittarians are very good at starting new ventures but are not the best as finishing them. Without looking back at how their last one ended, they’ll embark on a new one.
Earth Signs
Taurus and Cabernet Sauvignon
Cabernet Sauvignon Profile
Style: Full Body, Dry, High Tannin, High Alcohol
Flavors: Black Cherry, Black Currant, Baking Spices, Cedar
Cabernet Sauvignon is among the safest choices when selecting a red wine. It has a strong full body with a balance of fruits and spices.
This California wine is easy to pair with a variety of unexpected foods.
Sure, red meat is an obvious pairing, but get yourself some dark chocolate with this wine, and you’ll be dreaming about it later.
Taurus Traits
April 20 – May 20 | The Bull
Strength: Loyal, Dependable, Patient, Grounded
Weakness: Possessive, Aggressive, Uncompromising
Earth signs tend to do things to get rewarded.
Taurus is no exception. People who fall under this sign will work hard for the benefits they earn.
Along with their work ethic, a Taurus is dependable knowing that they will earn respect and other prizes.
However, they know it’s a two-way street and remain aware that their work is ongoing.
This is where their patience comes in.
As hopeless of a romantic as they can be, a Taurus is always on the defense.
You must first earn their trust before they feel safe giving you theirs in return.
Cabernet Sauvignon Pairing
Cabernet Sauvignon is a sensual red wine that you learn to love and trust – not unlike a Taurus.
The sensual undertones of the wine’s flavor evoke black fruits and spices.
These undertones are found in Taurians too, they’re one of the most sensual signs on the wheel.
Both the sign and wine have a range of earthy flavors with a strong body, and dry style.
Virgo and Chardonnay
Chardonnay Notes
Style: Full Body, Dry, Medium Acidity, High Alcohol, Little to No Tanning
Flavors: Yellow Apple, Starfruit, Pineapple, Vanilla, Butter
Chardonnay was originally harvested in large quantities in the Burgundy region of France. The variety of flavors a Chardonnay offers is not limited to the list above.
When fermented and aged in oak, it develops spicy, almost bourbon-like notes, making it the rich white wine we love.
Virgo Traits
August 23 – September 22 | The Maiden
Strength: Strong, Hardworking, Observant, Analytical, Sophisticated
Weakness: Intense, Dominating, Perfectionist, Shy
Virgos have a very practical way of making their plans.
Like Taurus, this Earth sign doesn’t mind putting in the work, as they realize how the little things can add up to the big picture.
Virgos are known to be the most sophisticated on the zodiac wheel. Both their work and honest advice are delivered clearly so that you won’t misunderstand what they mean.
It is their graceful advice and willingness to help that make Virgos great friends.
Chardonnay Pairing
It takes a lot of dedication to make Chardonnay the elegant wine it is, much like the dedication Virgos put into their own craft.
Virgos are sophisticated in the way they talk, work, and carry themselves.
Some call it perfectionism, Virgos call it attention to detail.
Virgos are loved for their ability to compliment all the other signs just as Chardonnays are loved for their versatility in food pairing.
Capricorn and Sauvignon Blanc
Sauvignon Blanc Profile
Style: Light Body, Dry, Low Alcohol, Low Tannin, High Acidity
Flavors: Gooseberry, Honeydew Melon, Grapefruit, White Peach, Passion Fruit
It’s hard to confuse Sauvignon Blanc with other white wines (like Chardonnay).
When compared, you’ll note Sauvignon Blanc is full of acidity and herbal flavors.
This rich white wine is widely produced as the grape can be grown almost anywhere. The result, Sauvignon Blanc comes in a variety of ranges – from lean to bountiful.
Capricorn Traits
December 22 – January 19 | The Goat
Strength: Responsible, Disciplined, Ambitious, Practical
Weakness:Inability to be Wrong, Pessimistic, Unforgiving
Capricorns will tell you they are the “Greatest Of All Time” or these days, G.O.A.T.
This earth sign is a determined sign which doesn’t need to be asked to do what they know needs to be done.
Along with their practical sense of duty, they always strive for success. Yet they are fully aware that their success will take time. After all, Rome wasn’t built in a day. That’s an Earth sign for you.
Sauvignon Blanc Compatibility
Capricorns are dry with their emotions, much like Sauvignon Blanc. This is due to a Capricorn’s view of the world and their diligent traits.
Sauvignon Blanc is one-part fruits and one-part earthy notes matching Capricorn’s element perfectly.
Air Signs
Gemini and Bordeaux Blend
Bordeaux Blend Profile
Style: Full Body, High Tannin, High Alcohol, Medium Acidity, Dry
Flavors: Black Currant, Black Cherry, Graphite, Chocolate, Dried Herbs
A Bordeaux Blend is made up of grapes used for red wines like Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, in addition to other grapes harvested within the same region of France.
The uses of multiple grapes make this wine a sweet, dark, red blend with high tannins and a strong body.
Perfect for red meat pairings with very little seasoning.
Gemini Traits
May 21 – June 20 | The Twins
Strength: Intellectual, Versatile, Social, Cheerful
Weakness: Gossipy, Indecisive, Superficial, Anxious
Gemini is one of the signs that tends to earn a bad reputation. They have a two-faced stigma as their personality is ever changing.
The reality is that Geminis are too smart for their own good.
They can adapt to any environment they are in, and behave accordingly.
Air elements will demonstrate an ease of going with the flow, and Gemini is no exception.
Geminis also love to talk your ear off, but it’s hard to not enjoy a Gemini’s company.
Their charm is contagious, and it’s almost impossible not to learn from them.
Bordeaux Blend Compatibility
Can you blame me for picking out a Blend for the Twins? Much like Bordeaux Blend is mixed to balance well, Geminis have their own mix.
It should be said that as versatile as Geminis come, you never really know which Gemini you’ll get.
Just as you never know which grapes are within the Bordeaux Blend you choose.
Though the flavor of the wine varies in strengths (either sweet or citrusy), the wine stays true to its notes. As do Geminis to themselves.
Moscatos are among the sweet white wines with fruity notes.
Unlike the majority of the wines mentioned, Moscato is an Italian wine made with the Muscat Grape.
There are different Moscato styles which include Bubbly, Still, Pink, Red, or Dessert Moscato.
This wine can be made into several styles depending on which Muscat grape is used, and how.
Libra Traits
September 23 – October 21 | The Scales
Strength: Fair, Charming, Diplomatic, Easy Going, Imaginative
Weakness: Indecisive, Bad Temper, People Pleasers, Overthinker
Libras are towards the center of the zodiac wheel, and you can see a noticeable change in the signs that follow. The first six signs of the zodiac focus more on their individual needs. While the signs that follow Libras care more about their impact on others.
As the Scales, Libras constantly analyze if should they be kinder or harsher depending on how others treat them. This constant mental back and forth is what feeds their indecisiveness.
Moscato Pairing
Libras and Moscatos always leave a good impression.
A Moscato wine is sweet and aromatic, while balanced with acidity and a mineral finish.
Libras are all about finding and providing balance. Be it in work or relationships, they find comfort in harmony.
Libras don’t care to change for most people. To do so, would tip the balance scale and would be unfair to their own desires.
Though a Muscat grape can fit into any type of Moscato, the wine will always stay true to its flavor and body, no matter the color.
Pinot Noir is among the world’s favorite red wines.
A bottle of light-red wine can be aged for up to 10 years, sometimes more. The aging process enriches the flavors making it all the more satisfying in color and taste.
An Aquarius showers us with their knowledge and ideas, as a Water Bearer showers people with their gift of water.
This Air sign is all about making humanity great.
They look to encourage others to do better because they see the world as a clock that runs on many gears. If one piece fails, the clock doesn’t work. They apply this philosophy to themselves as well – always trying to improve on their weaknesses.
Pinot Noir Pairing
Both Aquarians and Pinot Noir are dry, yet smooth. A Pinot Noir wine’s finish is smooth though its body is light with high acidity.
In comparison, Aquarians are not ones to lead with emotions. They can be dry in their efforts to communicate how they feel. They believe their actions will speak for themselves.
Just as an Aquarius is progressive, Pinot Noir is one of those wines that increase in finesse with age.
Water Signs
Cancer and Riesling
Riesling Profile
Style: Light Body, Little Tannins, High Acidity, Off-Dry, Low Alcohol
Flavors: Lime, Green Apple, Beeswax, Jasmine, Petrol
Rieslings are an aromatic white wine that was first produced in Germany, making it stand out from the French and California wine crowds.
It was turned into a classic table wine for its ability to pair well with savory and sweet foods.
Cancer Traits
June 21 – July 22 | The Crab
Strength: Kind, Creative, Family Oriented, Tough
Weakness: Hot-Headed, Immature, Moody, Overthinkers, Emotional
Cancer signs are deeply empathetic, as all water signs are.
Cancers are driven by their nurturing needs and seek to have a family when all is said and done.
Though they wear their hearts on their sleeve, Cancers aren’t weak. As the Crab, Cancers have a tough exterior and will be strong when they need to be, especially to protect their loved ones.
Riesling Pairing
There’s a sense of moodiness to both Cancers and Rieslings.
While Cancers have a sweet demeanor, their temper is strong. Cancers are quick to react based on their emotions.
Rieslings, too have plenty of strength. They can range from tasting really sweet to bone dry.
The sweetness of a Riesling is controlled during the fermentation process. It’s not so much up to the grape’s nature as it is on the maker’s influence.
Like a Cancer’s empathetic nature, which has a tendency of getting away from them.
Scorpio and Merlot
Merlot Profile
Style: Full Body, Extra Dry, High Tannin, Medium Acidity, High Alcohol
Flavors: Cherry, Plum, Chocolate, Bay Leaf, Vanilla
Merlot is one of those wines that stand out in the crowd. It has vibrant black cherry flavors and great depth.
Due to its complimenting flavors and chocolatey finish, Merlot is a wine can mix well with other full body wines, like Cabernet Sauvignon.
Scorpio Traits
October 22 – November 21 | The Scorpion
Positive: Loyal, Passionate, Determined, Intuitive, Empathetic
Negative: Secretive, Intense, Emotional, Jealous, Flirtatious
Scorpios are one of the other signs that get a bad reputation. If you ask around, people will tell you that Scorpios are the most intense, but this is due to their passion.
They hate small talk, for example, and would much rather just get to the point.
A Scorpio’s keen sense of intuition is what helps them know if a person is lying, or being shady.
They also know who is good and will be fiercely loyal with whom they trust.
Break that trust, however, and it’s game over for whoever wronged them.
Merlot Pairing
A Merlot starts bitter (or intense, if you will) with sweet tones to finish it off.
If you don’t pay attention, you’ll miss it the uniqueness of this full body wine.
We can learn to appreciate a Scorpio, in the same way we appreciate a Merlot.
Scorpio’s sweetness comes through in their passion and loyalty.
To a Water sign like Scorpio, loyalty means never revealing secrets. This type of loyalty, along with their protective nature, is what makes them irreplaceable in friendships and love.
Rosé is a wine that does not come from a specific grape. Instead, it can be made from a variety of grapes that are used to make fuller bodied wines.
Grapes found in Rosé include, but are not limited to, Pinot Noir, Syrah, Sangiovese, and Grenaché.
Contrary to popular belief, Rosé does not come from mixing wines. And though doing so is prohibited in many places, the region of Champagne, France is not one of them. Ergo, the Rosé Champagne we all know and love.
Pisces Traits
February 19 – March 20 | The Fish
Strength: Artistic, Compassionate, Intuitive, Gentle
Weakness: Fearful, Too Trusting, Head in the Clouds, Play the Victim
Pisces is both the last Water sign of the bunch and the last sign in the zodiac wheel.
Perhaps this order is what makes up Pisces traits, as they encompass a little from all the signs.
Though Pisces like to keep to themselves, there’s no denying they are focused, selfless, and easy going.
After all, they are the Fish of the wheel, so they just keep swimming.
Like their Water sign companions, they are very empathetic and protective of their hearts.
Their eagerness to make others happy can be taken advantage of. Knowing this, they will be kind, but never a pushover. They can tell people’s bad intentions from miles away.
Rosé Pairing
Just like a Rosé can be composed of a variety of grapes that come from other wines, a Pisces is shaped like their zodiac family.
When hanging out with a Pisces, it’s never dull. Like with any Rosé you choose, it is always a fun and unique experience.

Supporting your journey to becoming a professional astrologer. The handbook to the Starzology Beginner Astrologer’s Course.
Who this book is for
This book is suitable for new astrology students. If you have decided to learn a little astrology, then this is the book to help you get there.
Many people choose to know some astrology, and a few take the next step and discover a wonderful world of insights and support that astrology can provide.
Every year more and more people from all walks of life turn to astrology for answers to questions in their lives.
Many individuals want to learn astrology, although they have no plan to be a full time, or even a part-time, astrologer. Many people want to know for their own pleasure.
This is the handbook that compliments the Starzology Beginner Astrologer’s Course available One-on-One with Alison (available now) and pre-recorded classes (coming soon).
Use it as a guide to the intricacies of an astrology chart. This is book one of three and the other books in this series are;
The Intermediate Astrologer’s Course Handbook (available soon)
The Advanced Astrologer’s Course Handbook (available soon).
This book will guide you to focus on key pointers in a birth chart, so you can get to read a chart quickly and confidently.
The Benefits of Astrology
To understand how knowing some astrology benefits you.
It is a little like knowing something about body language.
For example, if someone has their arms folded, it is a powerful signal that they are not open to what you have to say.
This is basic stuff, but great information that you can use every time you speak to someone who has already shut you out because you now can do something else or approach them differently to reach them in other ways.
I see astrology like this.
With a little astrology knowledge, you can connect with people in a better way through the understanding of their core personality, characteristics and behaviors as shown through their birth chart.
Your life was mapped out with core characteristics from the day you were born. The knack is knowing how to read a birth chart.
New Book to Help You
This book is for you if you are at the start of your astrological journey.
It is for anyone who wants to get to grips with astrology fast, and someone who does not have time to waste on the tons of details in astrology.
Learn about the importance of staying on the high roads and leaving the back roads and windy paths for another day.
You can spend the rest of your life learning more and more about astrology, but you do not need to know everything right now.
You are at the start of your astrological journey, and this book will guide you towards what is immediately important and what can be left for another day.
If you have reached a period in your life when time is critical, and you do not have three years to spend learning something new, then this book is for you.
Astro Art
I use a lot of Astro Art in my astrology practice, and I want to share it with you.
This book is rich in chart imagery with simple visuals that have a powerful message.
You can see some of the Astro Art that I share on my Instagram “Starzology” feed as well.
There is only so much time and energy that I have already put into this work.
Semesters
There are two semesters of eight chapters each.
The two semesters comprise the full Level 1 work for the Starzology Academy of Astrology and these chapters are considered first-year astrology learning.
Additionally, and to help you grow as an astrologer, you are expected to do sixteen hours of independent study for each semester.
Aspiring Astrologer Activities
The Aspiring Astrology activities are after each chapter. These are like your homework and can be related to every chart that you do from now on into the future.
The astronomer Carl Sagan once said, “We are all made of starstuff.”
This quote relates to how the universe formed, and that the heavier elements were birthed through the life and death of stars. I’m not saying I fully understand the actual scientific process, but I like the idea.
Starz in Art
I use stars in many of my patterns. But not all stars are created equal. The number of points in a star is critical to the meaning and ultimately the vibration of the star.
My favourite star is the five pointed star which has a point at 72 degree increments. When a circle of 360 degrees is divided by five the result is 72 degrees.
I named my business Starzology to tap into this energy. Every time you say a name, like Starzology, you confer the meaning of the word to the entity or person.
This is why you should call your honey, well, “honey” or “babe” rather than “pumpkin” or “cockroach” when you say, “It’s a pet name, she knows what I mean,” as this nickname practice weakens the person through conference, and you want to avoid that.
The Creativity of Five
Five is a powerful number used in astrology for three reasons (you’d think I could come up with five reasons ha ha).
The fifth zodiac sign is Leo the Lion which is the most creative sign.
The fifth house is all about restoration, procreation and creation. The act of giving birth to your creative projects is sourced in the fifth house of your birth chart.
The quintile aspect is the 72 degree aspect of creativity and genius. It indicates where the genius is in your life. Check which planets are in a quintile aspect to each other to understand how this energy is flowing in your life.
Confer your Brand
If you have an actual word like “star” in you business artistic name, use it to promote your art.
If your name is Emerald City Art, use green and crystals to promote your art.
Look at the site RedBubble is red. The logo letters “RB” are round and fat just like a bubble.
The principle of conference works when you sleep.
Conferring your name, or your art business name, you will let the universe know you are in business.
“I saw an angel in the marble, then carved and carved to set her free.” Michelangelo
Allow me to share with you my experiences as an artist and an astrologer. I have been combining astrology and art for many years. Now I am happy to have found RedBubble to showcase my original art pieces for you.
The world has moved on, and in the digital creation arena is where I feel compelled to express myself. From my creator studio in downtown Vancouver, I enjoy expressing myself via the colourful creations I produce.
Symbolic Language
The language of astrology is created through the symbols and glyphs that are used in astrology charts. These complex shapes and sigils, when skillfully combined, will make sentences which ultimately tell a story.
Your personal astrology chart, and the symbols and patterns they contain, can help you explore the deeper meaning of your life through the symbolic language of astrology.
When the symbols are in your chart, it will be the story of your life. This is exciting isn’t it?
These symbols, or glyphs, convey meaning more than the actual shape. Glyphs have inherent properties that can be used to elevate your understanding of your life, and the world around you.
In your chart the synergy effect is present. Now one plus one equals three, or the sum of the whole is greater than the parts. Powerful.
I use traditional astrological glyphs in my artistic designs to bring them into mainstream consciousness for everyone.
Night Sky Dreams Pattern
We are but a small part of the huge universe. Many galaxies, stars and planets bring the positive energy of the universe to life. This is where life is lived to the full.
The vast dark space between the stars is the negative energy. Between the two opposites of light and dark, or positive and negative, the universal energy is in balance and mathematically adds up to zero.
My new “Night Sky Dreams” pattern is a piece that combines the sign symbols with other well-loved icons of the sky.
The deep purple background symbolizes the night, and the negative, as it contrasts sharply with the brilliant white light of life as shown by the stars.
I avoided black to accent this piece by choice. I interpret purple as a secondary colour that is both rich and mysterious, without the connotation of a darker side of life which a midnight black shade implies.
My Starz
As an astrologer and artist I love what I do. For those of you who have supported me in the past thank you, and if you have just discover my creations, then welcome.
If you enjoy my work please give me a “like” and follow me, so you know when I post a fresh new creation.
If you want to know more about my process, you can watch my YouTube channel Starzology where I discuss the art or astrology and how you can benefit from knowing a little astrology.

Perhaps you already know your Sun sign. It could be Aries, Cancer or Virgo etc. Your Sun sign depends on the date of your birthday. It is the zodiac sign which the Sun was in at the time and day you were born.
Everyone’s Sun sign is the easiest thing to know in astrology.
You will know your own, and your family’s birthdates, and probably your close friend’s birthdays as well. It is a simple step to ascertain everybody’s Sun sign.
The Sun sign is the first nugget of information that all people know about astrology but, after that, what should you learn next?
Ascendant Sign
The second thing you need to learn is your Ascendant sign. This is likely to be different to your Sun sign although it could be the identical.
You will only know your Ascendant sign if you cast your chart.
Moon Sign
The third fact you need to discover is your Moon sign. Again, you will have to cast your chart to find this out.
Your Moon sign is likely to be in a different sign both to your Sun sign and even to your Ascendant sign, but it could be the same.
Where to Get Your Birth Chart
If you do not yet have a copy of your birth chart, there are three pieces of information that you will need.
Your birth time
Your birth date
Your birth place (the city and country)
For quick information go here to calculate your chart.
Alternatively, if you want your full birth chart one page diagram calculated by me as a PDF go here.
The Holy Trinity
These three pieces of astrological information, your Ascendant sign, your Sun sign, and your Moon sign, are known as the holy trinity, the triad or the triumvirate of your chart.
They are always listed in this order of importance; Ascendant, Sun, Moon (and yes, your ascendant is more important than your Sun).
If you are an aspiring astrologer, and if you attend an astrology conference, you will be given a badge with your name. There will be a space for you to write the three main parts of your chart listed on it, your Ascendant, your Sun, and your Moon.
For example, my top three or Holy Trinity would be listed as; Leo, Leo, Scorpio. This is because my Ascendant is in Leo, my Sun is in Leo, and my Moon is in Scorpio.
Your Ascendant, Sun, and Moon can each be in any one of the twelve zodiac signs.
Combinations
Let us have a quick look at the numbers.
The Ascendant has the possibility of being in any one of the twelve signs, the Sun has the possibility of being in any one of the twelve signs, and the Moon has the possibility of being in any one of the twelve signs.
Therefore, 12 × 12 × 12 = 1728 possible combinations of Ascendant, Sun, and Moon.
This detail is huge and speaks to the complexities that can be found within an astrology chart, but there is a simpler way.
Polarity
In astrology there are two polarities active and passive. They can also be referred to as masculine or feminine, or positive (+) or negative (-).
The twelve zodiac signs are either in one polarity or the other.
The active signs are; Aries, Gemini, Leo, Libra, Sagittarius, and Aquarius. The passive signs are; Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio, Capricorn, and Pisces.
Let’s look at some examples of polarity.
If you have your Ascendant in Aries, your Sun in Virgo and your Moon in Pisces your polarity converts to: active, passive, passive or (+, -, -).
If you have an Aquarius ascendant (+), your Sun is in Gemini (+), and your Moon is in Libra (+), you are active (+, +, +).
8 Combinations
In the scenario of active and passive signs, as regards to your chart’s holy trinity, there are only eight possible combinations.
The three are always listed in the sequence; Ascendant, Sun, Moon.
The ratio is always active:passive (+ : – ).
+ + + 3:0 100% active
+ + – 2:1 More active than passive.
+ – + 2:1 More active than passive.
– + + 2:1 More active than passive.
– – + 1:2 More passive than active.
– + – 1:2 More passive than active.
+ – – 1:2 More passive than active.
– – – 0:3 100% passive.
Some More Examples
Ascendant Sun Moon
Libra Gemini Pisces + + –
Aquarius Sagittarius Virgo + + –
Leo Aries Taurus + + –
They are 216 possible combinations that are active, active, passive (+, +, -). But only eight possible combinations.
The use of polarity in the holy trinity of your chart is way to simplify what is a complex subject, astrology.
Spend some time analyzing your family’s and friends charts to see polarity at work.
Of course, there are many more interesting things about astrology charts that you could learn.
Aspiring Astrologer Activity
I love providing you with aspiring astrologer activities.
This initiative is similar to “next steps” and the activities give you some ideas on what to do with the information you have just gathered.
Step one: Your Sun sign.
Step two: Your Ascendant sign.
Step three: Your Moon sign.
Step four: Write your polarity combination (Ascendant, Sun, Moon).
I used to teach a class about the real basics of astrology.
This was a class for beginners with not even a whiff of technicality or astrologese or astrology jargon.
It was about a lot of getting to know what astrology is and what it is not.
Ii was during this time that I created this special project to make a Wheel of Fortune (that’s what I’m calling it) for the students. It is quite easy and you can do it yourself.
This wheel is made up of twelve “slices” just like the slices of a pizza. Each slice is 30° wide and therefore is exactly one zodiac sign.
Get Your Downloadable Template
Here is your template so you can make your own astrology wheel of fortune. You can download the PDF file below (which is the recommended way to go as it is easier to print), and use it later.
There is a modest fee of US$1.00 to support us.
How to Construct Your Wheel
Print 12 sheets, so that’s one page for each sign.
Add your own keywords and notes to each sign.
Colour in as much as you like.
Cut the slice out leaving the tab on.
Carefully layout all the signs in the right order.
The signs in order anticlockwise are Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces.
Tape the slices lightly at the front with small pieces of masking tape just to hold it.
Turn it over and magic tape the slices together.
Note: Take your time as the slices can be tricky.
When completed glue the whole wheel onto a sheet of cardboard or Bristol board for support.
Cut with scissors and trim to 5mm to the edge of the circle.
Hang the finished astrology wheel by a centre pin so that it can rotate, because you read each sign when it is at the bottom and the signs can be read from all around.
How to Use the Wheel of Fortune
You should place your wheel on the wall near your desk and where you do your astrology work. In this way, it becomes as inspiration and a memory jogger for when you forget things.
Remember to send me a photo of your completed wheel and I will publish it on this post later.
There is no time limit.
Enjoy being creative and learning at the same time.
Keywords to Use
Many astrology keywords are well known and you should add these to your wheel.
When you discover a new word to describe the signs you can add them to your wheel. This is how you interpret astrology and not how I do, or the next guy does.
Be your own astrologer and develop the art so that it speaks to you.
Why stray from the true and tested keywords? Because we want to hear your voice coming through in your interpretations.
If you ask ten artists to paint a picture of an apple they will all produce a painting that represents an apple. Maybe Picasso’s apple is a bit odd but it is still an apple how he sees it.
It is the same with astrology. Every astrologer can read a chart, but each one brings their own flair to the reading. Your own words are important and this is why you need to develop your own words as well.
How we Learn as Things Change
Back in the day I was taught that the eighth house was to do with death. But I prefer to read it as a transformation either of the mind, body or the finances.
Now, blood donors and blood donations (other people’s resources) are shown in your eighth house.
Greek astrologers or even those in the last century may not have experienced blood donors (or had the ability to benefit from blood donation) but we have this today.
It’s the same with Facebook being in the eleventh house. Social media and being “friends” with others is an eleventh house thing. But ten years ago FB was unknown.
Always Interpret in Your Own Words
Yes, you need to use the usual keywords to start with as you learn astrology. It is the language of astrology. But as you develop your own astrological voice I urge to use your own words. This may take a while but I encourage you to take ownership of the astrology you do.
If you want a cookie-cutter reading you can go to the internet and find a free site that prints preprinted pages of interpretations.
But, if you want to be a good astrologer you need to do your own thing. Your own thing comes from the internal dynamics of your own chart.
Be yourself. Don’t be just a human computer churning out information with no discernment for the value of what you produce, rather be yourself.
The opening scene is in the Garden of Eden where we meet the angel of the Eastern Gate, Aziraphale who expels Adam and Eve just after they taste the fruit. he is joined by Crowley, a demon.

The management training team plays paintball in the grounds of old St Beryl’s.
They meet up with Aziraphale and Crowley. Crowley gives them real guns to shoot each other although no one is hurt and they will only experience near misses.
The craze for adult colouring books knows no limits.
Many people are joining in, picking up a crayon, staying between the lines to colour beautiful images, pictures and mandalas as recreation.
(BTW this is product of Saturn in Sagittarius – exploration within boundaries.)
There is even a Meetup in Vancouver called Vancouver Colouring. It has over 300 members and is going from strength to strength.
This year I received one of these book from my fabulous sister as a gift. Does she think I need to relax, take it easy and chill? Possibly…
When I attend lectures I often find myself doodling in the margins as the speaker talks and I thought about this for a while and at my workshops and lectures.
When I taught every evening and four classes a week my students would come to class with their binders and stuff their notes from class into them. It occurred to me that they could do with a nice cover page for their binders so I created this page specifically to be colored in.
Each student was able to do their own color combination and it became a component of the classes.
So now I give each astrology class student or workshop attendee one of original astrology themed colouring pages.
I want to share this with you now and offer you a free PDF download of one of my astro art pages.
You don’t have to but it’s there it is if appeals to you.
Below is the drawing that you can download and colour in to your heart’s content. This first one is called Astro Art Cover 1.

The idea is that you write your name in the space at the bottom and use this as the cover for your astrology binder (or file).
If you are new to astrology you may not see the subtlety of the symbols peppered about this page but they will all be revealed as you learn about this exciting craft of astrology.
If you are an aspiring astrologer then you probably have a few journals, files or binders where you keep all of your exciting astrology notes, class notes, snippets and information.
There is so much to learn. I get it. It can be overwhelming at times. I have created a front cover for you to use for your astrology journal.
All you have to do is download it and colour it in to your heart’s content.

I’m calling these images and diagrams Astro Art and until I get a better name I’ll stick with that. #astroart
How to Colour in
You can do felt pen, pen and ink, pastels or primaries. It’s up to you.
If you like you can do more than one copy.
Now you can always have something to doodle on when you find yourself in a long lecture.
If you take a class with me you will get this image as well.
Share
When you have completed your Astrology Art cover page please share it with us use the hashtag #starzart and send me a copy and I’ll put it up for the readers to admire.
I can’t wait to see what you can do.
This year I plan to have more images for you to color in and they are coming out soon so get those crayons sharpened.
I am super excited to tell you that in 2019 I will be launching my brand new online astrology courses.
This has been a long, long journey. If you have been with me for a while you will know I first did courses like this way back in 2015 without video.
This time there is video, colour, and art built right in. Since I got in your face on YouTube I’ve learned many techie , that I won’t go into now, but which have enabled me to offer you an online course that you will love.
