These horoscopes are written for Ascendant signs. If you know your Ascendant sign then read that horoscope.
Otherwise, read your Sun sign, and while you’re at it, think about getting your chart cast so you will know your Ascendant sign for the future.
About Our Horoscopes
These horoscopes consider the changing planetary energies throughout each month. In general, I look at three things, ingresses, lunations and stations.
If there are other important events happening during a month, I may write about them as well, it just depends.
I like to look on the positive side and find something uplifting to say for each sign.
When I prepare my horoscopes, I consider planetary movements, planetary energies and shifts that occur in the natural rhythms.
I also like to pay attention to New Moons and Full Moons when they impact a particular sign significantly.
I do consider planets stationing retrograde or turning direct as these movement shifts do make a difference in the way the planet can express its energy especially if they impact the sign as well.
All my horoscopes are written with love and care.
Note to My Readers
Dear Readers,
I am getting back into writing horoscopes for you again. I have had a break for about 8 months but now I am dipping my toe in the waters again.
This month, January 2023, are my first short horoscopes as I refresh this website to accommodate the next years horoscopes.
There is an enormous lot of tech work that goes on in the background to get the website looking better.
Please bear witrh me as I navigate the new approach to monthly horoscope work.
The horoscopes themselves are all written by me and will develop further as I get back into the swing and manage the tech side of things with more ease.
I plan for the horoscopes to be posted as the Sun changes sign in the previous month so around the 21st of every month.
Thanks for your understanding.
Regards,
Alison
Astrological Overview
Time Zone
These horoscopes are set for Universal Time Zone (UT) which is the old Greenwich Mean Time. (GMT).
If you live in the eastern hemisphere, like some of Europe, Asia, Australia and most of Africa, these dates may occur the day after the ones mentioned.
If you live in the western hemisphere, like the USA, Canada and South America, these dates may occur the day before the ones mentioned.
What to Look For Each Month
As the planets move through the zodiac, they change signs and adjust their direction. Each planet has a couple of particular signs that they really love to be in and with which they resonate well.
These shifts of planetary energy are what we astrologers look at.
Ingresses
These horoscopes consider the planets changing signs or ingressing. Several planets change signs each month and this can vary.
When a planet goes from one sign into the next it may benefit or have its energy reduced. How well a planet is placed in a sign is known as essential dignity.
Lunations
We look at the New Moon and the Full Moon or any Solar or Lunar Eclipses when they occur. Eclipses only happen in a couple of months each year.
Here will be the full list of the 2023 Lunations when I’ve completed it.
Stations
Considerations is given to any planet that stations in a month. A station is when a planet appears to stop and turn direction.
Planets can either station retrograde (begin to move backwards) or station direct (begin to move forwards). It depends on the planet and your own Sun sign whether a station may heavily affect you or not so much.

The biggest Astrological update for the year 2023 is that the dwarf planet Pluto, ruler of Scorpio, will leave cardinal earth Capricorn and enter the new sign of fixed air sign Aquarius the Water Bearer.
This is huge and will affect everyone for many years to come.
When an outer planet (Uranus, Neptune of Pluto) shifts signs it changes the background energy for all charts and horoscope work.
Pluto’s Orbit
Pluto’s Time Scale
Pluto takes around 240 years to go around the Zodiac, so it was back in. 1798 when Pluto last left the sign of the Water Bearer.
Because Pluto takes so long to transit through each sign, we generally have twenty to thirty years of one Pluto influence by sign.
The Pluto in Capricorn influence is beginning to fade.
Pluto in Aquarius Fireside Chat – Video
In this video, I chat with my good friend and research astrologer Arwynne O’Neill about the Pluto Aquarius ingress. You can see Arwynne’s mini bio and contact details at the end of this post.
Planets in Transit
The book which Arwynne references in the above video is Planets in Transit by Robert Hand. This is truly the forecasting astrologer’s bible.
Highly recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
And if you look closely at the banner at the top of this screen, Robert Hand has been a favorite author of mine and his books have been on my bookshelf for many years.
Pluto in Aquarius – Three Ingresses
First Ingress
For the first time in living memory, Pluto initially ingresses, or enters, Aquarius on March 23, 2023.
Pluto then retrogrades back into Capricorn on June 12, 2023, where it remains for around six months.
Second Ingress
Next Pluto enters Aquarius for the second time on November 19th, 2024 to remain for four months.
Then it again retrogrades back into Capricorn.
Third Ingress
Pluto finally moves into Aquarius on November 19th, 2024 to stay for a long time.
From this point onwards Pluto will transit Aquarius for nineteen years until it leaves to enter Pisces on March 9, 2043.
This means that Pluto will be in Aquarius for around twenty years give or take a whisker.
Pluto’s Symbolism
Power
The concept of power, and personal power is a theme for Pluto.
Where you have personal power, or you give it away is shown by the Pluto placement in your chart.
As Pluto transits through Aquarius, it will trigger power issues, power plays and power imbalances, particularly between the sexes, in life.
Transformation
The main symbolism I use for Pluto is when a boring, green, nondescript caterpillar stuck on one tree, turns into a fabulous, colorful and delicate butterfly, which can fly away and mate.
Pluto is the transformational planet in astrology as it changes or metamorphoses everything it touches.
Lifecycles
The cycle of birth, life and death is attributed to Pluto.
We all are born, will live and eventually die and this ongoing life cycle is ruled by Pluto.
This concept can also be applied to self-regeneration and making yourself over like you, but 2.0.
Pluto’s ability to birth a vibrant phoenix from the ashes is a powerful image for this process.
Every time you do a makeover, or change yourself inside or outside, consciously, it is under the influence of Pluto’s regenerative energy.
Aquarius’ Themes
Society
Aquarius has an affinity with society and the faceless people in general.
This means Aquarius pertains to the resources that should be for everyone like water, food and shelter. You can go one step further and say health care and prosperity options.
The Collective
It is concerned with the collective and humanity in general. This is not a sign worried with selfish egos.
Discrimination
Aquarius is the sign associated with stamping out discrimination in all forms. Human rights, women’s rights, children’s rights and all other “rights” are the remit of Aquarius.
Freedom of speech as the core tenant of democracy is a feature of Aquarius.
Pluto in Aquarius Themes
As Pluto begins to transit through Aquarius, we can anticipate themes of transformation in several areas.
Social Reform
We can expect major and deeply effective social reforms for everyone.
This may play out as protests and riots in the streets of first world countries to raise awareness of exactly what goes on in the rest of the world.
The entitlement bubble that many people live in will be truly popped, and reality will come knocking at everyone’s door.
Gender Realignment
We can anticipate full gender realignment and acceptance throughout the world.
This will not be without its challenges.
Burial Practices
There is likely to be a reform in burial practices and how we honor the dead.
It is not easy to predict just how this area may change as I do not know that much about it in general.
I would postulate that the huge cost for funerals and cremations will be addressed so everyone can have the send-off they desire.
Pluto in Aquarius for All Ascendants
Below is a list of how the Pluto in Aquarius Transit will probably affect each Ascendant sign.
If you know your Ascendant sign, read that.
If not, you can read the Sun sign and ask yourself when you are going to get to grips with astrology, get your chart cast and discover your Ascendant sign which is arguably the most sensitive point in your birth chart?
Pluto in Aquarius for Aries Ascendants
Friendships

Pluto in Aquarius for Cancer Ascendants

Business Collaborations
Choose wisely and do as much background checking as you can before taking on a business partner or getting into a financial relationship with someone else.
It may be best to avoid all such arrangements unless you are totally convinced of their viability.
Other People
Your relationship with other people may take on a deeper note now.
It could be that you emphasise with people in the street or become embroiled in their lives in some way.
There is the feeling about the Good Samaritan about this placement.
Pluto in Aquarius for Virgo Ascendants

Now is the time to rewrite your history or backstory if it is not doing you any favors.
If your background is holding you back then refresh it like a phoenix rising from the ashes.

Your family will look very different at the end of this period to what it looks like now.

Avoid confrontation with locals at all costs.
Pluto in Aquarius for Capricorn Ascendants
Money Earned
For Capricorn Ascendants, Pluto enters your life area concerned with net worth.
This covers money you earn and more importantly the money you keep.
Expect to find new ways of earning and keeping your cash and also digging up buried income streams that you may have ignored in the past.
Self-worth
Your own impression of yourself through your self-worth will be transformed when Pluto energizes this sector of your chart.
This indicates there will be a recalibration of how you see your value in life and the lives of others.

Values
What, and whom, you value will be converted as Pluto moves through this area of life for you.
Pluto in Aquarius for Aquarius Ascendants

This will be the most dynamic, life-changing transit that you have ever experienced.
For some people there will be multiple contacts from Pluto to their natal Sun.
Self-awareness
How you see yourself will change
Deep down you know who you are and during this period the true you will stand up and be counted.

Pluto in Aquarius for Pisces Ascendants
Private Place
For Pisces ascendants Pluto will transform your private life.
This could present as more “me time” or down time to recharge your batteries.
Having a retreat will be the best way for you to navigate this powerful cosmic energy.
Plan at least one retreat or weekend away every year.
Psychological Burnout
Watch out for psychological burnout by giving too much of your life-force to others.
Be mindful of sacrificing yourself at the altar of other people’s whims and needs.
Know that you cannot save the world.
Be aware of stepping into the role of savior or enabler for family and friends.
Awareness of your default attitudes and responses, ingrained or buried over many years, will help you now.
Lifelong Health
Pay attention to every health issue that comes up. Do not hesitate to get a proper diagnosis as soon as possible.
Pay attention to people around you who say they see changes in you which you have not yet noticed.
Be aware and all will be well.
Conclusion
Multiple Manifestations
Over the next twenty years as Pluto will be in Aquarius, obviously many things will happen.
There will be multiple manifestations of the Plutonic energy expressed in an Aquarian manner and through the lens of your own Ascendant and birth chart.
I have provided some ideas here, usually three per Ascendant sign, to whet your appetite.
As I share with you some bite-sized chunks of astrology my hope is that it will give you something to ponder and encourage you to explore this interesting topic further.

Each year there are a few overarching planetary trends that set the backdrop for the year.
In 2023 we have three major planetary sign changes bring a focus to three specific signs.
1 Saturn enters Pisces
On March 7th the ringed plant Saturn will leave its traditional home of Aquarius and enters Pisces for the first time in thirty years.
This is a huge shift of energy. Saturn has spent the last five years moving through its own signs of Capricorn and then Aquarius where it is strong.
Saturn in Pisces is entirely different. We can anticipate several themes unfolding during the 2 1/2 years when Saturn is in Pisces.
2 Pluto Enters Aquarius
The biggest sign change of a planet’s sign is in March as Pluto leaves Capricorn and enters Aquarius as on March the 23rd, Pluto enters Aquarius for the first time in living memory.
Pluto will go back into Capricorn between June 2023 and January 2024 and again from September 2024 to November 2024 when it will remain in Aquarius until March 2043.
Thus, spending about twenty years in Aquarius and creating a generation of millions of people born with Pluto in Aquarius.
3 Jupiter Enters Taurus
On May the 16th, Jupiter will enter Taurus for twelve months and will be there until May 2024.
Jupiter usually spends just one year in each sign.
This bring opportunity is the nature of the sign and in this case, Taurus.
Who this Will Affect
Jupiter’s passage will create great opportunities for all Taurean Sun sign people as the great planet moves through the sign and conjoins their natal Suns.
I will add more info here soon.

The two-and-a-half-year transit of Saturn through Pisces from 2023 to 2025 will affect all Pisces folks as Saturn draws close and makes a conjunction to your natal Sun.
If will also affect anyone with other planets in Pisces or those people with a Pisces Ascendant or Pisces Midheaven.
To a lesser extent this dynamic energy shift will affect people with chart points, like the North or South Node, the Vertex or the Part of Fortune, in Pisces.
Saturn Transit Position
Only as Saturn moves to within 1°, both applying and separating to your Sun, planets or chart points in Pisces will there be a focus affect for you.
In general, it is not a two-and-a-half-year effect to your natal chart.
Saturn in Pisces and Your Sun Sign
Saturn Aspects to Your Sun – Time Frame
While Saturn is in Pisces it will aspect every Sun sign and this will be different depending on the aspect being formed.
Some aspects are easy, some are challenging and some are neither.
Additionally, as Saturn moves quite slowly, its influence will only come into play when Saturn gets to be within one degree of the perfection of the aspect to your Sun.
Virgo Sun signs
Will receive an opposition from Saturn to your Sun which will probably present as authority figure like your parents, your boss or the government restricting your activities somehow.
Gemini and Sagittarius Sun Signs
Gemini and Sagittarians will receive squares to their natal Sun from Saturn. Squares usually show up as internal struggles with yourself. You may be stopped in your tracks as your make judgements about how you should move forward. Use this time to carefully consider and take your time. There is no rush where Saturn is concerned.
Cancer and Scorpio Sun Signs
The two water signs of Cancer and Scorpio will receive positive energy from Saturn as it make a trine to your Sun signs.
This is likely to present as mastering something in your life.
Aries and Aquarius Sun Signs
The two adjacent signs to Pisces, Aries and Aquarius, may not see much energy either up or down as Saturn moves through Pisces because Saturn will make a semi-sextile to your Sun position.
Leo and Libra Sun Signs
For Leo and Libra, this transit will probably manifest as many adjustments having to be made as Saturn make the irritating quincunx aspect to your Sun position.
Saturn in Pisces in 2023
During 2023 Saturn will only cover the first seven degrees of Pisces. This will specifically affect people born between the 19th and the 26th of February in any given year. These people will receive a triple conjunction from Saturn to their Sun in 2023.
As Saturn retrogrades in the early part of 2023 it brings a higher concentration of its energy to certain parts of the sign and particularly the first quarter or initial seven degrees of Pisces.
Saturn in Pisces What to Expect
Relaxing Laws into Guidelines
The very nature of Pisces is to water down and dilute things like stringent laws that have been in place for years.
Saturn is the planet that rules the government and the establishment so while it is in Pisces strictures will loosen.

Saturn in Pisces for Aries
Saturn enters your private area suggesting you may be alone more. It will be easier to live in isolation and spend your time unaccompanied with your thoughts.

Saturn in Pisces for Leo
Saturn enters your debt and taxes area suggesting as one this is the time to get organized with your taxes. If you owe anyone, it will be come due now. If your papers are in order, you will be dealt with fairly receiving neither more nor less that what you are due.

If you are single, there are likely to be offers to get together which at first may seem a little dull but secure. This will be something you have to consider now.
If you are already in a meaningful relationship, you could decide to call it a day as boredom pervades your marriage. Think long and hard before throwing in the towel.
Saturn in Pisces for Libra
Saturn enters your work sector to bring honors, recognition and promotions if you are worthy. This is the period when you can achieve good results in your profession.

Saturn in Pisces for Capricorn
Saturn is your sign ruler and where it exerts its energy will always be important for Sea Goats.

Ingresses

If you are an Aquarian, Venus will conjoin your Sun at some time either this month or next. Venus is known as the lesser benefic and she is typically a good thing. Money and love are Venus’ two main areas of influence.
For Pisces
Fortunately, at the end of the month on January 27th, Venus slips quietly into Pisces. Venus is in exaltation in the Mutable Water sign of the which means she can express her bounty well for almost everyone. If you are a Pisces then at some point Venus will stimulate your natal Sun to bring you some personal grace and favor into your life.
The Sun
In the third week of the month the Sun leaves Capricorn and enters Aquarius.
Aquarius Season
This is known as Aquarius season even though it only lasts around thirty days. Where the Sun travels, Mercury and Venus are not far behind, which brings a lot of planetary energy to the sign.
Lunations
Full Moon
The Full Moon occurs in the middle of its home sign at 16° Cancer on January 6th. This is the best time for a home-cooked dinner with family in the early evening as the Full Moon rises.
For Cancerians
The Moon loves being in her own sign of the Crab and now you can explore your feelings clearly, if briefly.
Always pay attention to your gut reactions at the Full Moon as they are your true responses being expressed.
New Moon
On January 21st, the New Moon is at 1° Aquarius. This is the day after the Sun illuminates Aquarius with its presence.
New Moon Wishes
New Moons are always a time for setting personal intentions and making New Moon Wishes. Discover more about the New Moon here.
January Stations
Three planets change direction and all three planets end their retrograde cycle and begin to move forward.
Mars
On January 12th, Mars stations direct in Gemini. Mars is only retrograde once in every two years, so he will be charging ahead in a forward fashion for many months to come. This is a signal that more energy is now available to tap into for everyone.
Who This Will Affect
If you are a Gemini with a birthday from May 29th to June 2nd, you will receive some direct invigorating heat and action from the Red Planet during the last weeks of January.
Mercury
Mercury goes direct on the 18th at 8° in the Cardinal Earth sign Capricorn the Sea Goat. You can expect discussions to move forward now and deals to be signed, sealed and delivered. Mercury has a lot to say about interviews and if you are in the market for a new job check out this post on Mercury Retrograde and Job Seeking.
Who This Will Affect
This station of Mercury will specifically affect any Capricorns with birthdays on 29th, 30th and 31st of December. Now you can expect some clarity of thought.
Uranus
Uranus has been in Taurus for a few years now and will remain so until 2025. Once more, on January 22nd, Uranus stations direct at 14° Taurus to bring some relief to social issues and abstract problems.
Uranus in Taurus has a lot to say about the global crypto market which is still highly volatile.
Who This Will Affect
The Uranus station in Taurus will specifically affect you if your birthday is on the 4th, 5th, or 6th of May as you may anticipate unexpected changes of direction in your life.

by Alison Price "Can you tell me if Financial Astrology is lucrative? I would like to earn money as an astrologer. What do you think is the best way to learn financial astrology?" This is a question I received from a reader like you about making money as a financial...
There are many techniques which you can use to read a birth chart and one highly popular method is with chart complexes.
A complex contains everything to do with a particular feature in a chart
You can have house complexes, point (Ascendant, Lunar node, Part of Fortune etc.) complexes and planetary complexes.
In this post we’re going to look at planetary complexes.
A Planetary Complex
Each planet in your chart will have its own complex.
There will be the Sun complex, the Moon complex, Jupiter’s complex and even Eris’ complex.
Planetary Complex Components
The five components that go to make a planetary complex are the planet’s:
Meaning
Sign
Aspects
Position
Influence
Let’s have a look at each planetary complex component in detail.
1 Planet’s Meaning
The planet in question always retains its core meaning.
For example, Mercury will always have the urge to communicate, and Mars will always have the urge to initiate actions.
Pay attention to a planet’s keywords.
2 Planet’s Sign
When considering a planet in a sign you always want to find if there is any essential dignity.
This feature itself is probably the most prominent influence when considering a planets complex.
Rulership
A planet in rulership is resilient.
Planets in rulership can work at their full potential 100% of the time.
Any planet in its own sign has the urge to dominate and express itself in the person’s life.
This is likely to be one of the top planets in the chart.
Exaltation
A planet in exaltation, is robustand walks towards the light.
If there is an exalted planet and there are no planets in rulership, the exalted planet will push itself forward into the person’s life.
Fall
A planet in fall, will benefit from support from other planets to achieve its potential.
Planets in fall can easily be dragged down by challenges from the malefic planets.
Detriment
A planet in detriment will struggle to express itself in this person’s life.
This planet will need a lot of work to see its positive energy.
A debilitated planet is likely to effortlessly turn towards the dark side.
Face
A planet with face, steps forward and wants to help the person.
Term
A planet with term, is usually a nice-to-have and will support any planet struggling to move forward.
3 Planetary Aspects
Challenges or support from other planets are shown by the aspects.
Most planets have aspects to the other planets.
Consider the nature of the aspects themselves and the planet making the aspect.
Hard Aspects
The hard aspects are the opposition, the contra-parallel, the square, the semi-square and the sesquiquadrate.
Hard aspects bring challenges and energy is required to overcome the friction or obstacles expressed by the aspect.
Soft Aspects
The soft aspects are the trine and the sextile.
Soft aspects bring ease and support and boost the planetin the nature of the other planet making the aspect.
Neutral Aspects
The neutral aspects are the conjunction and the parallel.
Impartial aspects may be supportive or non-energetic.
These unbiased aspects add robustness to the planet in question.
Unaspected Planets
A planet is unaspected if it does not receive a Ptolemaic aspect from another planet.
Do not consider aspects from the points when determining unaspectedness.
4 Planetary Position
There are some positions that planet may have in a chart which are more important than other placements.
It’s like being in the right place at the right time.
High in the Chart
When a planet is highand near the top, at the most elevated position or in the Midheaven Gauquelin sectorin a chart, it becomes more significant.
A planet in this position supports what you do in the outside world and in the public domain.
East in the Chart
When a planet is placed in the east, at the Ascendant position, either rising or in the Ascendant Gauquelin sector or bothit attains more significance.
A planet in this position supports your personal brand, messageand the impression you make on others.
Proximity to the Sun
When a planet has solar proximity by being either cazimi, combust or under-the-beamsit may add to, or detract from, the planet’s ability to express itself.
A planet in this position needs further consideration.
5 Planetary Influence
Through the principle of chart division, we can slice the chart up in several ways.
A planet may have influence over several sectors of the chart although some planets have no sway through chart division.
Hemisphere Ruler
There are four hemispheres in each chart, the Eastern, Western, Northern and Southern hemispheres.
When a planet is a hemisphere rulerby being on the cusp of the hemisphere, it brings a broad influence over half of the chart.
Either the self (Eastern hemisphere), others (Western hemisphere), the public life (Southern hemisphere) or the private life (Northern hemisphere).
If it is a tenant in the hemisphere that it rules, it increases its authority.
Quadrant Ruler
There are four quadrants in each chart the first, second, third and fourth quadrants.
When a planet is a quadrant rulerby being on the cusp of the quadrant, it has influence over one quarter of the chart.
If the planet is a tenant in the quadrant which it rules, it gains dynamic power.
House Ruler
There are twelve houses in each chart.
When a planet is a house rulerby being on the cusp of the house, it impacts the area of life shown by the house.
If the planet is a tenant in a house which it rules, is intensifies its dominance.
Triple Division Ruler
There are three triple divisions in a chart, the first, second and third triple division.
When a planet is a triple division ruler by being on the cusp of the division, it impacts the Me (first triple division), We (second triple division), or You (third triple division), message shown by the division.
If the planet is a tenant in a triple division which it rules, is intensifies the main keyword of the division (Me, We or You).
Influence Assessment
When analyzing a birth chart, go through and work out every planet complex and determine which are the dominant planets within a chart.
Having attained a full picture of each planet’s complex you can decide just how influential each planet is in the chart.
This may bring up some surprising results.
It is often at this time that you realize that perhaps the Sun and the Moon are not as influential as you thought and maybe Uranus is a dominant planet within a chart.
Influence: Cancer is intercepted so the Moon has no place to rule.
Mercury Planetary Complex
Meaning: Languages, ideas, thinking and trade.
Sign: Virgo dignity well placed.
Aspects hard: Semi-square Mars and square Chiron.
Aspects neutral: Conjunct and parallel Saturn so a double whammy.
Position: 12th house. Dispositor tree top line.
Influence: Rules Chart, rules and is in the Eastern hemisphere, rules and is in the Northern hemisphere, rules 1st quadrant, rules 4th quadrant, rules 1st house, 10th house and 12th house.
Jupiter Planetary Complex
Meaning: Growth, vision and luck.
Sign: Pisces retrograde, in dignity, has face essential dignity and is traditional sign ruler.
Aspects soft: Water Grand Trine with Mars and Uranus. Note these are the only Jupiter Aspects.
Influence: Rules and is in the Western hemisphere, rules and is in the 2nd quadrant and rules and is in the 6th House
Uranus Planetary Complex
Meaning: Computers and the internet, lateral thinking and breaks.
Sign: Cancer, no essential dignity.
Aspects soft: Water Grand Trine with Mars and Jupiter.
Aspects hard: Square Neptune.
Aspects neutral: Parallel Pluto.
Position: Most Elevated, Midheaven Gaquelin Sector and 10th house.
Influence: Rules 5th house.
Transiting and Progressed Planets
The planetary complexes indicate how that planet will fare and express itself for this person when it influences the chart by transit or progression.
Any planet which is weaker in the natal chart, when transiting or progressing the chart by aspect is likely to be weaker as well.
To know a planet’s natal strength can help determine whether as a forecast indicator it will be influential or not for this individual.
This shows up in instances where perhaps in a chart with a weak Saturn complex, and therefore their Saturn Return is not as challenging for that person as it is for the person whose Saturn is the most dominant planet in the chart by complex.
Warmly,
Alison

Moon Phases Your Astrology Journal I love making my astrology journal and creating interesting pages that are zodiac themed. At the moment I'm using a Leuchtturm1917 journal. I chose the one with a yellow cover as I like that. ...
Here I go over the main points of this astrology book and I provide a full-page flipthrough of every page in the book so you can see if it is for you.
Who This Book is For
New Astrology Students
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 which astrology can provide.
This book will guide you to focus on key pointers in a birth chart, so you can read a chart quickly and confidently.
New Astrology Teachers
This book is suitable for new astrology teachers.
Use it as a guide to bring structure to your classes.
If you are just starting out as an astrology teacher, use this book as a guide to pace your classes for your astrology students.
Typically each chapter will be a two hour class.
Time and Energy Management
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.
If you are at the start of your astrological journey this is for you.
It is for anyone who wants to get to grips with astrology fast and who does not have time to waste.
You can learn about the importance of staying on the highways and leave the roads less travelled for another day.
You can spend the rest of your life learning 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 details which are immediately important and the things that can be left for the future.
Self-paced Astrology Lessons
This book combines all the astrology lessons I have taught for the past twenty-five years to my private students.
Each chapter is one lesson.
Typically when I teach the lessons in a classroom they take about two hours to complete.
However some classes are a little longer specifically the Houses lesson and the Synasty lesson.
I usually have a week to a fortnight between classes so my students can digest the information, practice on many charts and do some more research by themselves.
Table of Contents
Evolution of This Book
When I began teaching astrology to three women one Saturday afternoon at my kitchen table, I wrote out a one-page guide for each lesson.
Every person received the one-page class note.
They went away and returned the following week for the next class at which time I provided the second lesson one-page class note.
Over time, I developed each one-page into multiple sheets and included more information.
I increased the page count for each lesson to about ten pages whilst fleshing out every topic into broader paragraphs which became the discussion points in the lesson.
By now I had made sixteen beginner, intermediate and advanced forecasting classes with around ten individual pages each for the forty-eight classes with a total page count of 480.
Then I created a mini eBook for each stage.
Later when I began to teach the Relationship and Vocational astrology courses with six classes each, I wrote more class notes.
Only earlier this year did it occur to me to bring everything together into one book.
This book.
In the past I had toyed with multiple smaller books but decided to amalgamate all the class notes I had created over the years into this one volume.
Through the editing process, I condensed the Houses lessons into one class even though I had taught it over two.
I had forty-seven main classes including six Relationship and six Vocational classes, with around ten pages per class.
This brought the class count to fifty-nine. I wanted to have fifty-two classes which is of course one class for every week in the year.
I compressed the two Relationship and Vocational courses into five classes, three for Relationships (thus the Synastry class has parts 1, 2 and 3 and is the biggest class) and two for Vocational.
Now I had fifty-two classes in total.
Some classes are longer and some are shorter than others.
Page Design
Each page is sourced from my early one-page layouts.
Each page usually has a main heading and several paragraphs, diagrams, tables or charts.
These are all discussion points and can be explored further by the student and certainly developed by the teacher.
I encourage you to source other supporting material around each class.
I have endeavored to keep the style of the page layout similar to the original one-page class notes as that is how you learn the subject and how it is taught.
Where there is space available on some pages, I have added diagrams or illustrations as inspiration.
Most drawings are my own creations however some are free images for public use from Pixabay.
How to Use This Book
This is a working book. You are invited to write in it, make notes and draw diagrams as you learn.
Perhaps you have other keywords you want to bring into your astrological practice and you may add them to these pages.
Color things in, add collage and make it your own.
Aspiring Astrologer Activities
There are Aspiring Astrology Activities after each chapter.
This is your class homework and the activities are about the content you have learnt in the lesson.
These activities are important as they are a guide about what to do for every chart that you ever cast or interpret.
Astrological Defaults
This book teaches western tropical psychological astrology and mainly Placidus house cusps.
Where to Get Your Copy
The Aspiring Astrologer – 52 Self-paced Astrology Lessons book is available at Amazon.
This is quite a huge book with 570 pages and measures 8” by 10” or 20cm by 25cm.
The size makes it heavy.
The actual publication costs at Amazon are quite hefty themselves and of course you will have to add on the shipping to your area.
This makes the cost of the book slightly more than most astrology books but it’s due to the sheer volume of information you receive.
I wrote, designed, formatted and self-published this book myself.
I have had two editors go over it, but as I’ve learned in the past, errors do creep in.
If you find an error or typo, please let me know and I will fix it for the next person.
Warmly,
Alison

Towards the end of each year, Pantone announces a new color for the forthcoming year.
The publication of the Color of the Year is highly anticipated, mainly by artists, graphic designers, trend setters and the New Age community.
Because this is such a big deal in the world of color, the color which Pantone chooses usually invokes the potential that each New Year heralds.
As someone who loves astro art and color in general I find this interesting.
2023 Viva Magenta
The Pantone color of the year for 2023 is Viva Magenta a rich magenta color.
Colors
Rainbow Colors
The seven colors of the rainbow or spectrum are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet.
Chakra Colors
The seven chakras are the root, sacral, solar plexus, heart, throat, third eye and crown chakras.
The chakras are related to the spectrum colors thus:
Red – root chakra
Orange – sacral chakra
Yellow – solar plexus chakra
Green – heart chakra
Blue – throat chakra
Indigo – third eye chakra
Violet – crown chakra
Crown Chakra
Anyone familiar with chakras will know that the Viva Magenta color is related both the Root (red) and Crown (violet Chakra.
Aquarius
Astrologically the colors are related to the signs.
The 2023 color of the year seems to be associated with the sign of the the Fish, Pisces.
Pisces is associated with many things one of which is that it is a sign of intuition and blending in.
Saturn is shortly going into Pisces to stimulate this color .
Interesting ly Saturn was in Aquarius for the Veri Peri of 2022.
Color Theory and Healing
That color can influence us is well documented and many practitioners will use color to invoke emotional, spiritual and even physical healing.
2023 Potential
I wonder how the choice for this year’s Pantone Color of the Year will unfold during the next 12 months for the world.

I’m sharing with you my December Astro Journal flip through.
I’ve been journaling for years and I do dabble with all sorts of journals spreads, but this month I got a bit more organized and have got some images to show you of the journal pages I created for December 2021.
Cover Page
Astro Info
This page shows all the important astrological ingresses, lunar phases and planetary retrogrades for the month.
I also draw the zodiac in the natural position with Aries at the Ascendant point.
Sign Colors
You’ll notice that I colour my zodiac signs in specific colours and these are related to the colour wheel.
The fire signs are the primary colours, so Aries is red, Leo is yellow and Sagittarius is blue.
The air signs are the secondary colours so Gemini is orange, Libra is green and Aquarius is violet.
Then the earth and water signs become the tertiary colours, so we have Taurus is tangerine Cancer is apricot, Virgo is chartreuse or lime green, Scorpio is turquoise, Capricorn is purple and Pisces is magenta.
Ingresses
On the outer ring I show how all the planets move during December.
Many planets stay in the same sign, some planets change signs and one planet is stations retrograde.
Main Lunar Phases
I also indicate the four main Lunar phases of New Moon, First Quarter, Full Moon and Last Quarter.
Yule
Wheel of the Year
My Yule page is an acknowledgement of the wheel of the year as the Sun enters Capricorn on December 21 we are at the solstice.
I have the symbol for Yule in the top left and on the top right has an oakleaf to symbolize the movement from the Holly King to the Oak King which happens on Yule.
Yule and the solstice is the actual beginning of the wheel of the year.
Yule Log
It’s the dead of winter. In my drawing that I have a yule log burning in the fire. The idea is that you get one long big tree which is your you’ll log and you stick the fat and into the fireplace and you liked it on December 21 and as it slowly burns you push the tree into the great and I delete should be in for at least 12 days.
Dark to Light
Yule is a time where we are symbolizing the shift from the dark and we start to slowly move into the light.
This time of the year is symbolized by candles the fire and brightness.
Saturnalia
December 21st is the shortest day of the year it is also known as the Roman festival of Saturnalia.
Saturn rules Capricorn so it all fits in quite neatly.
Month Calendar Full Page Spread
The monthly full spread is where I will put all my student classes and events.
It also works as a content calendar for my videos and blogs.
I have colored in every planetary movement and the Moon’s phases.
Planets on the Move
Here I’m listing all the planets that change sign and a little interpretation for each one.
Sun enters Capricorn
Sun enters Capricorn on December 21st, Complete all public festivities to concentrate on special people. Especially past year. Make a plan.

A higher awareness of your spiritual journey.

For the past three years I’ve created an astrology guide for the specific year.
The guide was originally created for my astrology students and it included the ingresses, retrograde cycles and eclipses.
Previously I made the guide available as a PDF download directly from this site, but this year I’ve created it as a notebook which is available from Amazon.
Amazon
My guide is now called the “Starzology 2022 Astro Planner – Astrology for self-care.”
This means it is easier to order and you can receive a physical item and not just it in digital form.
How to Use This Planner
It is as a planner, with monthly and weekly pages like a diary or notebook.
Previously there was no space for notes and many of you have asked for that, so here it is.
Customize Your Planner
The idea is that you make this planner your own. Colour in the months pages and add your transits on the weekly pages.
Watch the Video
To get more inspiration on how to get organized to write horoscopes, or to forecast for yourself, watch the video below.
I explain how I use this planner and you can add your information, color and embellishments as well.
The spreads are the exact ones that I use each month for horoscope work and forecasting, which I draw in my journal and you can see more of that in this video.
It has material on the 2022 new moons, retrograde and direct dates and planetary ingresses (when the planets change signs) for the whole year.
If you write horoscopes of forecast for yourself, family and friends it will help you plan.
There is a page for you to draw your own birth chart, so you can follow along and a few blank charts.
Monthly Planner Pages
Each month lists the planetary ingresses, retrogrades and lunation information.
There is a lunar mood checker diagram and other fun pages.
Weekly Planner Pages
The handy weekly pages can be used to track the transits and progressions to your own chart.
Moon Mood Tracker
Each month has a 28-day Moon cycle tracker that you could use to track:
your mood
your lunar transits
your monthly cycle
Personal Growth
This planner will inspire you to find out more about your chart and you can add other astro related details that interest you.
In this planner, you can color in and make notes that mean something to you and create yourself a keepsake for the year 2022.
Lammas is typically celebrated on August 1st each year.
However, it is more correct to say that Lammas is when the Sun reaches 15º of the fixed sign of Leo the lion.
In 2021, the Sun will be at this position in the zodiac on Sunday, August 8th.
To be honest, it does not really matter that you celebrate Lammas at the exact time, but that you celebrate at all.
Close Enough
Often in the civil calendar, if a public holiday falls mid-week we celebrate it on the Sunday that follows or the Sunday beforehand.
An example of this is Remembrance Sunday which technically occurs on November 11th every year, but which is always taken as the closest Sunday to that date.
Lammas: Astrology Journal Page
I’ve drawn a page for Lammas in my astrology journal.
It is a sheaf of wheat that symbolizes the early harvest of the first sweet ears of cereal in August that is used to bake the Lammas Loaf of bread.
I’m trying to focus on one symbol for each festival in the Wheel of the Year.
Lammas Celebration
Lammas celebrates the baking of the first loaf of bread with the current year’s wheat.
It signifies bounty and good food and prosperity to come.
But let’s face it, in the modern world if you live in a city like I do you just go down to the corner store and pick up some bread that’s already baked.
Personally, I’m not in the habit of making my own bread, but when I do, it is at Lammas that I bake.
Lammas Loaf Recipe
My daughter has recently started baking bread and I’m going to share the recipe she uses with you here.
This simple method uses three ingredients bread flour, yeast and salt.
You may have a family recipe and that would be an ideal one to use for your Lammas first loaf.
Lammas Bread Baking
In the week running up to Lammas, my daughter baked several loaves which our whole family enjoyed.
She brought a Lammas loaf over to my home by travelling on the train, as the trip is quite far, but I truly appreciated her gesture.
When to Eat Your Lammas Loaf
Your Lammas loaf is best consumed when still warm.
I like it slathered with butter or, for a special treat, honey.
It is the type of food you can keep snacking on long into the evening.
Next Day Bread
The next day bread can be a litlle harder as it has lost its initial softness and springability.
I choose to cut next day bread into thinner slices and toast them.
Always try to get your Lammas toast “golden” and not charred.
Enjoy your slices with tea or coffee as a great mid-morning snack.

Aspiring Astrology Activity: Lammas
In your astrology journal, book of shadows or grimoire please do the following:
Draw a page for Lammas and include a symbol of wheat or the first loaf.
If you have a family recipe for bread then include it as well.

The wheel of the year is a diagram that shows the Sun’s movement through the twelve signs of the tropical zodiac from Aries to Pisces.
You can draw a wheel of the year in many ways, but they still represent the passing of time throughout a twelve-month period.
Flow
Typically, the diagram flows clockwise like time on a clock face, but astrologers flow them counterclockwise to align with the zodiac from which the dates originally come and the rising of the Sun at the Ascendant.
The special eight celebration days have been used for centuries in many cultures around the world.
If you draw your own wheel of the year, you can color it and add the symbols that resonate with you.
In the modern world, there is no right or wrong way to tap into this ancient calendar.
Follow your instincts and create a wheel of the year diagram that speaks to you.
Astrology Journal
As an astrologer you would typically draw the wheel of the year in your astrology journal.
If you are more of a pagan, you can create your wheel of the year in your book of shadows or grimoire.
The Sun’s Path
We have watched the Sun mark time as it rises and sets every day.
At a broad stroke, the Sun’s rising position on the horizon moves slightly each day.
The daylight hours are longer in summer and shorter in winter.
Every year the Sun transits through the 360º of the tropical zodiac, and in its passing, marks special days in the year.
Cardinal Points and the Four Seasons
The Sun’s path crosses the four cardinal points each year which mark the beginning of the four seasons, spring, summer, autumn and winter.
Please note that these dates are for the northern hemisphere.
Quarter Days
The four quarter days divide the year up into four quarters.
They are the dates of the two equinoxes and two solstices.
March 21st – equinox
June 21st – solstice
September 21st – equinox
December 21st – solstice
Cross-Quarter Days
The cross-quarter days divide each of the four quarters of the year.
The cross quarter days are midway between the equinoxes and the solstices.
These dates are around the 8th of the inbetween months and each year is slightly different.
The definition of a cross-quarter day is when the Sun reaches fifteen degrees of the fixed signs.
February 8th
May 8th
August 8th
October 8th
Spring Equinox – Ostara
Around March 21st, the Sun crosses the celestial equator at 0º Aries, moving north for three months.
It is the Aries ingress and this is springtime.
The pagan celebration of Ostara is aligned with the equinox when the day and night is the same.
Beltane
The pagan festivity of Beltane is the day the Sun reaches 15 º of Taurus.
This is often celebrated on May 1st each year.
Midsummer Solstice – Litha
Around June 21st, the Sun reaches its highest declination at around 23.5º north at 0º Cancer.
Now the Sun moves back towards the celestial equator for three months.
The Cancer ingress heralds summer.
The pagan celebration of Litha is on the midsummer’s day which is the longest day of the year and the day with the most sunlight.
Lammas
As the Sun reaches 15 Leo, which is typically on August 8th, it is the cross-quarter day of Lammas.
However, the pagan celebration of Lammas is usually celebrated on August 1st.
Autumn Equinox – Mabon
Around September 21st, the Sun crosses the celestial equator moving south at 0º Libra and continues for three months during autumn or fall.
The Libra ingress happens at the autumn equinox and the start of the new season.
The pagan celebration of Mabon is usually celebrated on October 1st which is a date close to the equinox.
Samhain – Halloween
The pagan celebration of Samhain is when the Sun passes over 15º of Scorpio, which is around November 8th.
In general, this special day is usually celebrated on October 31st as Halloween.
All Saint’s Day follows of November 1st.
Midwinter Solstice – Yule
Around December 21st, the Sun’s declination reaches around 23.5º south as it enters 0º Capricorn.
Now the Sun moves back up towards the celestial equator which takes three months and it is wintertime.
As the Sun enters Capricorn it is known as the Capricorn ingress when the winter season begins.
The pagan celebration of Yuletide is celebrated on midwinter’s day.
Imbolc
Imbolc occurs when the Sun reaches 15 degrees of Aquarius which is usually around February 8th, although Imbolc is celebrated around February 1st each year.
One symbol for Imbolc is Brighid’s cross made from wheat sheaves or corn dollies.
Conclusion
As an aspiring astrologer, it is valuable to understand when the dates for the cardinal signs and the cross-quarter days happen as they shift a little each year.
These special days are not just plucked out of thin air.
Often at the start of a new season, the news channels will state that, “Spring is starting on March 21st at 4:37pm” and this statement may seem weird.
Now that you know how each season is timed (by the Sun’s ingress into a cardinal sign), you can fully understand the seasonal changes and the cross-quarter days that occur at around six-week intervals.
If you are just starting out, pay attention to the equinoxes and solstices first.
Then explore the cross-quarter days afterwards.
The whole year begins at the vernal equinox when the Sun enters Aries around March 21st every year.

The Lunar Nodes are points in a chart and they are an interesting part to the whole story when you read a chart.
When I first started doing astrology I was not thrilled with lunar nodes as a concept as I was more interested in solar astrology being a Leo.
Over time I learned to understand the Moon’s nodes better.
It just goes to show that not everything in astrology is interesting to everyone.
You need to find your focus as well.
The Luminaries Path Intersection
The Sun’s path is called the plane of the ecliptic.
The Moon’s path is angled at close to five degrees to the plane of the ecliptic.
The Moon crosses the plane of the ecliptic twice a month, once traveling north and once going south.
The Moon’s north node is found at the point where the Moon crosses the ecliptic moving north (NN).
The Moon’s south node is located at the point where the Moon crosses the Sun’s path moving south (SN).
Eclipses
When the Sun is near the conjunction to the nodes there is the chance of a solar eclipse or a lunar eclipse.
This occurs roughly every six months as the Sun moves halfway around the zodiac and goes from one node to the other node.
Lunar Nodal Axis
In your chart, the Moon’s nodes are an axis with the north node at one end, and the south node at the other end.
Some charts only show the north node and you can determine the South Node’s position as it is always directly opposite the north node.
Mean and True Nodes
The mean node is the average placement of the Moon’s nodes.
The Moon’s mean nodes are always retrograde as they precess through the signs in longitude.
The Moon’s true nodes can be direct, stationary or retrograde.
Lunar Nodal Speed
The Moon’s nodes precess (or move backward) at a rate of approximately 18.6 years through the whole zodiac.
At age 19, 38, 56, and 75 when the nodes return to their birth position, you will experience a nodal return.
Lunar Nodes Transit the Signs
The lunar nodes spend around eighteen months in each sign.
Planetary Nodes
All the planets (except the Sun) have north and south nodes.
For example, Pluto’s nodes are at +/- 20 degrees Cancer and Capricorn.
The planetary nodes are not exactly opposite each other in the chart.
The Meaning of the Nodes
The North Node
The north node is also known as the dragon’s head or Caput Draconis.
Connections to new people are shown through your north node.
Meetings, get-togethers, and rendezvous are likely to happen.
The north node is concerned with things that occur at a hub (computer routers, airports).
The north node shows your current incarnation in this life. It suggests your karmic objectives.
The north node is related to consciousness.
The north node indicates your future path and where you can grow and evolve.
The South Node
The south node is also known as the dragon’s tail or Cauda Draconis.
The south node suggests connections with people from your past.
It indicates the things that you already know. The south node shows your past incarnations – past lives.
This point is related to unconsciousness and sub-consciousness.
The south node clearly shows your past and your past lives.
It is a place where stagnation can take place.
Lunar Nodal Interpretation
The Nodal Complex
The north and south nodes are usually interpreted as an axis.
Note the zodiac sign polarity is it active or passive.
Note the two houses as a pair.
Note any aspects from the Moon to the nodes as they need careful consideration.
Note and planets that conjoin a node, and thus opposes the other node, as they are significant.
Note any planet that squares to the nodal axis as they will square both nodes, and this needs some consideration.
Personal Eclipse Points
In your natal chart, the nodal positions are referred to as personal eclipse points as they show where the eclipses would have been that year.
Nodal Degrees
The zodiac degree of the north and south nodes is known as your nodal degree, and any planet on that degree is vital in the nodal interpretation.
Aspects to the Nodes
If a planet aspects one node it usually also aspects the other node, except for some of the trine/sextile combination as the sextile aspect orb is only 4°and the trine is 8° degrees.
Conjunctions and Oppositions
Any planet conjunct a node will influence the nodal axis in a meaningful way.
This planet suggests that you are being pulled forward in life (north node conjunction) or by being held back by your past (south node conjunction).
Squares to the Nodal Axis
Planets square will aspect both the north and the south nodes in a square and will in a way stop either future or past dominating the life.
This person may not move forward without significant challenges.

A Saturn return is a specific time when Saturn completes a full round around the Zodiac and finally returns to its original position. You can find its origin position based on your birth date. A Saturn return is significant because it happens only once every 29.4 years!
Each return lasts for 2 and a half years each, so you should experience your Saturn returns around ages 27, 57, and 87. Significant changes are bound to come your way at this time, and it would be prudent to make the most of it.
The Lowdown On Saturn Returns
Saturn, Capricorn’s ruling planet, governs matters of time, structure, order, and law. It is the embodiment of stability, and so its movement can cause major shake ups in your life.
Whether it’s your love life or your career, or even your relationships with friends or family, Saturn brings big changes in its wake.
So you’d best get comfortable because it’s about to get uncomfortable.
A Saturn return is a double-edged sword. On the one hand, you can expect to have to leave your comfort zones. But on the other hand, leaving your comfort zones can free you and allow you to grow even further. Saturn’s return brings hard-earned lessons, but they are critical if you are to remain true to your karma.
And don’t think you can run away from all of this, either. You may be able to hide away and twiddle your thumbs for this return, but you’re only delaying the inevitable. Not only have you not grown at all, but Saturn will be back the next go around. So best take your lumps now and come out better for it!
With that sobering thought in mind, here are 6 things you can do during your Saturn return. If you make the most of this time, you’ll definitely be well on your way to being a better person living a better life.
Do Some Much Needed Self-Reflection
The first step to maximizing this unique time of growth is to reflect upon yourself. It’s a good time as any for you to take stock of your life and see where things went right and where things went wrong.
It’s best if you take your time with this one and be completely honest with yourself. Even if it’s hard, you need to take a look at the things you’ve been avoiding up until this point.
Of course, you don’t need to have all the answers from the word go. But by asking these questions, you put yourself in a mindset of improvement and resolution. It means that you are aligned with Saturn’s influence and are ready to learn your needed lessons.
Ask For The Help You Need
Of course, no one goes at it alone. There will be times where you will find yourself at your breaking point. And for these times, you will need to call upon others for help.
Ironically, this may be the time where you feel the most isolated. With that in mind, remember that your support system will be there for you. Your friends, your family, and anyone you are close to are there to help you along your way.
Don’t be afraid to reach out. Get counseling, therapy, a checkup, whatever you need. And always remember, you are not alone.
Check Your Health
Your return will test all facets of your life. Not only will you face tests spiritually, mentally, and emotionally, but also physically.
Like the last section advises, now is not the time to be ignoring your health. You are strong, and you’re always growing stronger, but you aren’t invincible.
Make sure to eat healthily and stay active. Don’t skip your checkups, and stay on top of any health issues before they get worse. If you are in good working order, the stresses of life will train you instead of break you.
Enjoy The Process
The last few sections may have seemed grim, but they’re good warnings so that you avoid common pitfalls. Additionally, this is also a time of growth and beauty.
Examine yourself and your life from time to time. While things may seem uncertain, always acknowledge the progress you see and the progress you don’t. Celebrate your little victories. Celebrate them alone and also with others.
Keep joy and gratitude in your heart, and it will bolster your resolve. The fruits of your labor are yours to enjoy, so don’t deny yourself that.
Keep An Open Mind
Never forget that Saturn’s return is a time of great upheaval. So prepare yourself and let go of preconceived notions.
By the end of your return, you may be very different from who you used to be a long time ago. Things that used to be familiar to you may feel alien now, and you might not even recognize your past self!
With that said, every plan looks like a disaster in the middle. And you may definitely feel like you’re in one when you start your return.
Keep an open mind and trust the process. Things are not always what they seem, and you may need to make some violent sweeping changes to grow as a person.
Manifest Your Desires and Aspirations
Last but definitely not least, you need to know what you want. The first tip works to center you and provide you with a starting point. This last tip reminds you to give yourself direction.
Once you’ve cleared yourself up and have steeled yourself to being a better person, take some time to be sure of what you want. Sure, it’s easy to say you want to “be better” or “live a better life,” but what does that even mean?
Take this time to think about the things you want. Formulate plans to achieve your goals. Manifest your desires in your thoughts and actions.
You can keep yourself on track by doing this sort of reflection every few months or so.

There are many techniques that you can use to read a chart and one method that I particularily enjoy is the dispositor tree.
Your dispositor tree shows the back story and how the energy is flowing behind the scenes of your chart.
When you draw a dispositor tree, you lift the veil and can see dynamic links joining planets that are not seen on the main chart.
This can provide you, as an aspiring astrologer, insights to the person and how they really operate.
A Dispositor Tree
A dispositor tree is a diagram that shows the connections between the planets in a chart.
This is done by their essential dignity position and specifically their dignity or rulership of signs.
A planet that rules a sign is the dispositor to any planet in that sign.
Typically, we only use the visible planets for dispositor tree creation as dispositors, although we do add the outer planets, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto into the tree.
Planetary Rulerships
The seven visible planets are; the Sun, the Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn.
The Sun rules Leo.
The Moon rules Cancer.
Mercury rules Gemini and Virgo.
Venus rules Taurus and Libra.
Mars rules Aries and Scorpio.
Jupiter rules Sagittarius and Pisces.
Saturn rules Capricorn and Aquarius.
Dispositor trees have a top tier, middle tiers and bottom tiers.
The stronger placed planets are at the top of the tree.
A dispositor tree can have a little as one planet or as many as ten planets in it.
How to Draw a Dispositor Tree
Planetary Dispositor
A planet will dispose any planet in its own sign.
Planets in the sign of their dignity cannot have a dispositor.
Planets that dispose others are drawn vertically.
The disposing planet is placed on a level above the planet being disposed.
Example:
Venus disposes Uranus in Libra and Venus is Uranus’ dispositor as Venus rules Libra.
Mutual Reception
Two planets are said to be in mutual reception when they are in the signs of each other’s dignity.
Mutual reception relates two planets even if they are not in aspect.
Mutual reception joins the pair in a supportive relationship and allows their energies to work together.
Planets in mutual reception are drawn on the same level horizontally.
They have equal strength to each other.
A double ended arrow joins them.
Example:
The Sun in Cancer and the Moon in Leo are in mutual reception.
Circular Dispositorship
Circular dispositor chains can be found in a chart.
Three or more planets can be in a circular dispositorship chain.
Example:
Mars in Leo, Jupiter in Scorpio, and the Sun in Sagittarius form a circular dispositorship.
You still draw them on the same level as they have equal weight in the dispositor tree.
Final Dispositor
A disposed planet will also dispose any planets in its sign, and this can form a chain of dispositorships.
In some charts there is a final dispositor.
This is the planet which is in its own sign and the dispositor chain falls below.
The final dispositor is a powerful placement for any planet and it should be noted in the chart analysis.
Example:
The Sun disposes Jupiter in Leo, Jupiter disposes Saturn in Sagittarius etc.
Top Dispositor Tree Planet
Position
This planet is only found on the top line of the dispositor tree.
Location definition; a top planet may link to other planets through links below only.
Possible planets in this location are the Sun, the Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter or Saturn. In other words, the visible planets only.
The top planet may only be the final dispositor, a planet in rulership, or a top line mutual reception planet, or a top line committee tree planet.
Interpretation
Top planet location keywords; leads, takes, drives, extroverted, masculine and positive.
The top planet has affinities with; the cardinal mode, the angular houses, the Midheaven, and the fire element.
The top planet energy is expressed through; taking action, beginnings, the future, and being available.
Middle Dispositor Tree Planet
Position
A middle dispositor tree planet is only in the middle of the dispositor tree.
Location definition; a middle planet must link to other planets through links both above and below.
Possible planets in this location are the Sun, the Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter or Saturn. In other words, the visible planets only.
A middle planet may not be in dignity, but may be in exaltation, detriment, fall, or peregrine.
A middle planet may also be a “Gateway” planet, which is one with three or more planets below it, so it acts as a gateway for their energies.
Interpretation
Middle planet location suggested keywords; does work, gives and takes, a conduit, links, connects. joins, and neutral.
Some affinity for a middle planet is indicated with the astrological meanings of; fixed mode, succedent, the air element, nodes, and 1st/7th axis.
The planetary energies of a middle planet are expressed through: Being acted through, within, and the present.
Bottom Dispositor Tree Planet
Location
This planet is only in the bottom of the dispositor tree.
Location definition; a bottom planet must link to other planets through links above only.
The possible planets in this location may be all the visible planets and outer planets Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, including Chiron, the Asteroids, TNO’s and Eris etc.
A bottom planet may not be in dignity, but may be in exaltation, in detriment, in fall, or peregrine.
Interpretation
Bottom planet location suggested keywords; supports, serves, gives, introvert, accepts, feminine, and the negative polarity.
Some affinity for a bottom planet is indicated with the astrological meanings of the mutable mode, cadent houses, the IC, the water element, and the northern hemisphere.
The planetary energies of a bottom planet are expressed through being acted upon, endings, the past, and waiting to be asked.
Final Dispositor Tree
Details
Number of planets in the tree = ten
The final dispositor tree’s relationship to natal chart’s planetary energies, cohesive energies and works as one unit.
Tree structure suggested keywords; A focused individual, pulls towards the common good, the whole chart is connected, subjective, and works as one “team.”
Internal decisions are made by; dictatorship, president, and hierarchical.
Single Planet in Rulership Tree
Only one planet in the single planet in rulership tree.
Trees relationship to natal chart’s planetary energies; an important planet, not integrated, and consider any aspects.
Tree structure suggested keywords; the purest form of energy, a wild card uninhibited, highly specific house meaning, and similar to an unaspected planet.
Internal decisions are made by; a wild card and can be the joker?
Planet in Rulership Tree
Number of planets in the tree is less than ten
The planet in rulership’s dispositor tree’s relationship to the natal chart’s planetary energies; this is a strong placement, always check the link aspects to confirm any connection.
The planet in rulership dispositor tree’s structure suggested keywords are; independent, and solitary
Internal decisions are made by, vice president, and the second in command
Mutual Reception Tree
In this tree there will be from two to ten planets.
The mutual reception dispositor tree’s relationship to natal chart’s planetary energies suggest there are two teams with related alliances. This person may be conflicted by the two sides of the mutual reception as the planets below will be on their team.
Mutual Reception Tree structure suggested keywords; objective, dual “sides”, two distinct wings of the personality, and one side may dominate over the other usually the side with more planets and thus weight.
Internal decisions are made by; debate and mutual respect.
Committee Dispositor Tree
The number of planets in the tree will be from three to ten.
Interpretation
Committee dispositor tree’s relationship to the natal chart’s planetary energies; confusion, lack of focus, and always look to any exalted planet for guidance.
Tree structure suggested keywords; multi-dimensional, varied interests, motivations are flexible, and they cannot see the wood for the trees.
Internal decisions are made by; democracy, and a committee.

Retrograde motion is a phenomenon that occurs due to our vantage point here on Earth when we look at the planets in our Solar system.
When astrologers use the term retrograde, they are referring to apparent retrograde motion.
Definition: To go or to seem to go backwards, to become worse or to decline.
In a chart a retrograde planet has the letters or symbol “Rx” next to their glyph and degrees.
In some charts the planet and degrees are written in red to indicate the planet is retrograde.
A planet that is retrograde is seemingly moving backwards but it is that the Earth is moving forward swifter than the planet in question.
There may be several retrograde planets in each chart or there may be no retrograde planets, it depends on the chart.
Astronomy of Retrogradation
Retrograde motion affects all the planets with the exception of the Sun and Moon.
The luminaries are always direct and never retrograde.
When a planet is retrograde it is closer to the Earth than at other times.
As an outer planet draws towards the opposition to the Sun, it becomes well placed for viewing through a telescope, as the full light of the Sun is on the planet.
Station Retrograde and Station direct
In a birth chart, the station retrograde, and station direct points are marked with an “S” symbol for stationary.
Typically, planets are considered to be stationary when they are within an orb of 0°10’ of the station.
The orb depends on the aspect set settings in your computer program.
The slower the planet, the longer it lingers in the orb of the station.
How Retrograde Periods are Shown in an Ephemeris
In an ephemeris all retrograde periods are indicated by a capital “R” and are shaded.
When the retrograde period is complete a capital “D” for direct is printed.
Retrograde Interpretation
Retrograde Planet Expression
A retrograde planet in a natal chart is retracing its steps over the same degree and minutes of the zodiac as it passed before birth.
The planet would have crossed that spot in the zodiac previously (moving direct) and is now retrograding back over a previously passed area of the sign.
It is going back over what has gone before and symbolically this imparts a reduced energy flow to the planet.
Retrograde motion is as if you are jogging down the road quite confidently, and then you realize you dropped your keys, so you stop and walk backwards looking for them, then pick them up and then once again start to jog forwards again.
This shows that retrograde motion is much slower than direct motion.
Reduced expression of the planet
The state of being retrograde appears to change a planet from its natural urges and direction and cause it to manifest effects similar to its opposite planetary pair attributes such as; Venus and Mars (female/male), and Jupiter and Saturn (expand/contract).
The Sign of the Retrograde
The sign in which the planet retrogrades needs to be considered. A planet may sometimes retrograde over one or two signs.
A Retrograde Sign Ruler
When a retrograde planet in a birth chart rules a sign, it takes momentum from that sign and makes it harder for that planet to rule the sign in a confident way.
Any planets in a sign ruled by a retrograde planet may show their own urges more so than the sign placement may indicate.
A Retrograde House Ruler
When a retrograde planet in a birth chart rules a house, the affairs of that house may initially be thwarted and held in abeyance until later in life when the retrograde planet stations direct by progression.
Sun and Moon Retrograde
This is a joke so do not get caught.
The Sun and Moon are never retrograde! To say someone has a retrograde Sun is an old astrology joke.
Retrograde Motion Cycle
Normally a planet which is direct moves along at a regular pace. As planets approach their retrograde period their movement changes in the following way:
The planet enters its pre-shadow period. This is at the point where it will station direct later in the retrograde cycle.
The planet slows down.
The planet appears to stop, and this is the station retrograde.
The planet begins to move retrograde at a slower speed than when direct.
After a few weeks or months, the planet slows down again.
The planet appears to stop at the station direct.
The planet begins to move direct again and gets back up to speed in its after-shadow period.
The planet leaves the shadow period at the point of the original station retrograde point.
Retrograde Motion Sequence
Direct motion (D)
Stations retrograde (SRx or S)
Retrograde motion (Rx)
Stations direct (SD or S)
Direct motion (D)
Retrograde Period
In each retrograde period a planet will make its two stations at particular degrees and minutes of the zodiac.
Each retrograde period will cover a different part of the zodiac and will last for a varying amount of time.
The Shadow
The section of the zodiac where the planet will retrograde is known as the shadow period.
The planet enters the pre-shadow or shadow, moving direct, before the actual retrograde period starts.
After the retrograde period at the point when the planet stations direct, the planet remains in the after-shadow or shadow, moving direct, until the planet passes the original station retrograde point again.
The Inferior Planets Retrograde
The pattern for the inferior planets when retrograde is specific. In the diagram the Sun is in the center. The orbit of either Mercury or Venus is shown in the next circle out. The Earth’s orbit is shown by the outer circle.
Diagram
It is only as the inferior planets move into the most westerly and most easterly position that the retrograde cycle starts. Positions 1 and 3 show the station retrograde and the station direct respectively.
Sun Conjunctions
During a retrograde cycle there are three conjunctions to the Sun. The first direct pass, the retrograde conjunction, and the final direct conjunction with the Sun.
Retrograde Time Period
The time in days for the retrograde period depends on the positions of the inferior planets and the earth and how far each body is from the Sun. This is why each retrograde period may be slightly longer or shorter than the previous one.
Mercury Retrograde
Mercury is probably the most well-known retrograde planet where it is even common knowledge outside astrological circles. Mercury is usually retrograde for three weeks and about three times a year or every four months. In any one year Mercury will typically retrograde in the same elementthen the retrograde period shifts into another element.

The superior planets are retrograde every year except Mars, which is on an almost two year retrograde cycle.
The superior planets begin their retrograde periods when they are near the trine to the Sun.
Whilst the Sun travels the four months (i.e. one third of the chart) towards the next trine, the superior planets are retrograde.
Around the point when the Sun passes the perfect to the trine to a superior planet, the superior planet again begins direct motion.
When a superior planet is in opposition to the Sun it is always retrograde.

The Moon phase cycle starts at New Moon when the Sun and the Moon are conjunct. This happens once every month. At New Moon we can’t see the Moon when it is close to the Sun
The Moon starts to grow in light every day in the waxing part of the cycle. Around day fourteen it reaches the Full Moon when we can see the most light from the Moon. It begins the waning part of the cycle reducing in light back to the New Moon.
The Light and Dark of the Moon
The Moon is mainly dark for half of the month and mainly light for half of the month. The darker half is during the last quarter, balsamic, new moon and crescent phases. The light half is the first quarter, gibbous, full moon and disseminating phases. This light/dark difference is symbolic and has much to say about the meaning of the Moon and its phases.
Lunar Phases in the Chart
lunar phases are based on the angular relationship between the Sun and the Moon.
If the luminaries are in aspect to each other it must be considered highly in the chart interpretation.
Moon Timing
The synodic cycle is around twenty-nine and a half days.
The Moon is in each phase for around three and a half days.
The Moon is in each sign around two and a half days.
Planetary Phases

Eight Lunar Phases
There are eight lunar phases, four in the waxing period and four in the waning period.
Even if the Moon is not in aspect to the Sun it will be in the phase shown below.

Write a paragraph about the Moon’s other aspects excluding the Sun’s aspect.
Over which houses, hemispheres and quadrants does the Moon have influence?
The houses are numbered from one to twelve anti-clockwise starting from below the ascendant.
Houses can be any width; some are as small as twenty degrees wide and some are as large as forty-five degrees wide.
It all depends on the house system being used and the place of birth for which the chart is set.
House Systems
All the charts on this website use the Placidus house system.
It is recommended that you stay with one house system (these days most astrologers use the Placidus house system mainly because there have been Placidean Tables of houses available for years, which may not be the ideal, but it is the reality) for the first year of your astrology study or until you can make an educated decision by exploring other house systems to decide which one you may feel resonates better with your own chart.
Other house systems in common use are Equal house, Koch, Morinus, Porphry and Regiomantanus.
House Cusps
House cusps are measured in degrees and minutes and are the dividing line between two houses.
The house flows anti-clockwise and ends at the next house cusp.
A house has a cusp at both sides, but the anti-clockwise cusp is the one that pertains to the house.
A planet is in one house or another it is never in both although it can be very close to a cusp (within one degree).
House cusps are derived from the birth time.
It follows that a correct birth time is required for exact house cusps.
If you do not have a firm birth time, then the houses cannot be used.
House Rulers
Every house has a ruler. The ruler of a house is the planet which rules of the sign found on the house cusp.
For example: The ascendant sign’s planetary ruler is the ruler of the first house.
This is a special case as the ruler of the ascendant is also the chart ruler.
The Sun and the Moon usually rule one house as the rulers of Leo and Cancer.
Mercury and Venus usually rule two houses each Gemini and Virgo for Mercury and Taurus and Libra for Venus.
Mars, Jupiter and Saturn usually each rule one house and co-rule another (traditional) house.
Mars rules Aries and co-rules Scorpio, Jupiter rules Sagittarius and co-rules Pisces and Saturn rules Capricorn and co-rules Aquarius. Uranus, Neptune and Pluto usually co-rule one house each.
Uranus rules Aquarius, Neptune rules Pisces and Pluto rules Scorpio.
Chiron does not rule a house because it does not rule any sign.
If a house is thin (less than thirty degrees wide) then one planet may rule two consecutive houses as the same sign may be on both adjacent house cusps.
A house ruler (by its sign, house and aspects) imparts its energies onto the affairs of the house.
Intercepted Signs
If a house is very wide (more than thirty degrees) there is the possibility that one sign is on the house cusp, the next sign is fully within the house and the third sign is on the following house cusp.
The middle sign does not have a house cusp.
This is known as an intercepted sign.
If the intercepted sign is Cancer or Leo it means that one of the luminaries does not have a house to rule.
Intercepted signs are always in pairs and are found opposite each other.
The planetary ruler of the intercepted sign is a moot point for that house’s interpretation.
It is as though it has no voice in the chart.
That planet does not have as much weight.
Three Types of Houses
There are three types of house; angular, succedent and cadent.
Angular Houses
The angular houses are the 1st, 4th, 7th, and 10th houses.
They are found anti-clockwise from each angle. (Ascendant 1st, IC 4th, descendant 7th and MC 10th).
Planets in angular houses are dynamic, front and center and are present.
Succedent Houses
The succedent houses are the 2nd, 5th, 8th, and 11th houses.
They fall behind the angular houses.
They are also known as support houses as they support the angular house next to them, usually financially.
Planets in succedent houses are paused, on hold and are pending.
Cadent Houses:
The cadent houses are the 3rd, 6th, 9th and 12th houses.
They fall behind the succedent houses.
Planets in cadent houses are passive, retiring and are mute.

“It is not possible that particular forms of events should be declared by any person… it is necessary for [astrologers] to adopt inference. Only God can predict particulars.” ~ Ptolemy
Introduction
We as astrologers would certainly be wise to adopt inference about our readings especially in regard to our clients.
Here we will discuss some ethical predicaments in which an astrologer, or student, can easily find themselves.
Privacy
The privacy laws are always in effect and you need to be aware that they affect your work as an astrologer.
You cannot discuss the chart details of one person with another – even another astrologer.
Permission
If you want to use an individual’s chart details and personal storyline you may not do so without first obtaining their written permission and clearly stating whether the data will be used for research, teaching or for publication.
The public do not know the breadth and depth that an astrological interpretation can entail and how chart analysis will reveal features and motivations in someone’s life.
As an astrologer, you need to tread carefully here.
Children
A new mother comes to you and wants her baby’s chart read.
What do you do?
Obviously, parents make decisions for their offspring all the time.
Perhaps one way of dealing with interpreting children’s charts is to be found in the transits.
Prior to the first Jupiter return (age 12) the parents may request a child’s chart to be read and after the Jupiter return the child should agree to you doing the reading.
“Is he the one?”
A woman arrives at your office clutching the birth details of Mr. “Fifth Boyfriend this Year” and demands, “Is he the One?”
What do you do?
This really is an ethical situation where you are being asked to interpret charts for those who are not there and are unaware that it is happening.
There may be justification in some instances, but you will have to decide where to draw the line.
The Deceased
We often select famous people who are dead for chart interpretation practice such as Alexander Graham Bell, Albert Einstein or Michael Jackson.
If a private person has died and you wish to work with their chart details this usually is acceptable unless the death has occurred recently, and the family is still working through their grief.
You have to decide what type of astrologer you are and again you have to make the call.
Hit-and-Run
You have just left an energetic astrology meeting and are standing at the door casually chatting about the weather and someone thrusts their chart into your face and says breathlessly, “I have no planets in the seventh house, I was told it means I won’t get married, what do you think?”
Well, what do you think?
For a start you can’t stand there discussing her chart in front of other people.
What gets me about this scene is that during some point in her past someone told her the grim news and she has been carrying the baggage with her up until now.
There is no point to respond with another hit-and-run consultation as you stand at the door.
The way to handle this situation is to explain that many factors influence marriage and invite her to make an appointment to meet with you at a more appropriate time where you can gently go over how it all works and put her straight on this matter.
You are the Authority
Remember, as an astrologer (and as an astrology student) you are deemed the authority in all matters of an astrological nature.
From the point of view of your clients and the general public you are the wizard and as such you need to be careful to do no harm.
Your Chart
Look at your chart to see what your Saturn (respect and boundaries), Uranus (astrology) and Pluto (secrets) reveal about you and your approach to ethics and privacy.
Give some thought to the issues discussed above and it could help you decide where you stand.
Conclusion
Every astrologer has their own opinion on these introductory matters. It would do you well to think about what your views are before attempting a chart interpretation.
Starzclass
Aspiring Astrologer Activity: Ethics and Privacy
In your astrology journal, please do the following:
Consider three possible ways you may be challenged in your astrology business with family and friends surrounding ethics and privacy.
Decide if you will reveal information about a client’s chart to the person who pays for the consultation.
Consider which types of requests you will decline e.g. “Why did he die, can you look at his death chart?” “I’m sixteen years old, will you read my chart and not tell my parents?” “I think my partner is having an affair, will you read their chart for me but not tell them, I have the details for you?”
Extend Yourself

The asteroids orbit the Sun and they are solar system bodies.
They are smaller than the planets and their paths lie mainly between Mars and Jupiter.
They are found in what is called “The Asteroid belt” which is a space between the personal planets (Sun to Mars) and the social planets (Jupiter and Saturn).
Bode’s Law states that there will be a planet found in the space between Mars and Jupiter.
The earlier astronomers looked for it, and that is how Ceres the biggest and was the first asteroid to be discovered.
The Big Four Asteroids
The four largest asteroids are Ceres, Juno, Vesta and Pallas Athene.
The big four asteroids were discovered first because they are so large, and they could be seen with the early telescopes.
These are the main asteroids and they are the ones you will learn about here.
In 2006 Ceres, was reclassified as a dwarf planet (just like Pluto) due to its mass.
This special status conferred onto Ceres has brought Ceres into many astrologer’s main practices and you will often see it in printed charts.
The Asteroid Belt
The main asteroid belt lies between Mars and Jupiter and contains millions of varying sized objects some as large as the planet Pluto and some the size of a potato.
There are three areas where asteroids are found.
The main belt is where most of the astrology asteroids lie, and the Greeks and the Trojans which are groups that lie equally before and after on Jupiter’s orbit path at a sextile.
Asteroids and the Feminine
All the asteroids are named after Goddesses.
They are mostly female.
Female goddess asteroids balance out the male dominated planets such as Sun, Mars, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto and Chiron in a chart.
Female Family
The four main asteroids are all named after the females in a family.
In the myth of Jupiter, we see the asteroid names.
Ceres was Jupiter’s mother, Vesta was his sister, Juno was Jupiter’s wife and Pallas Athene was his daughter.
Asteroid Names
There are hundreds of asteroids and many of them have names which can be used in chart interpretation.
You may discover that there is an asteroid with your name and if so, it may have a special meaning for you in your chart.
The name an asteroid has reflects its meaning.
Many asteroids were named after Greek and Roman myths and the asteroid with the corresponding name has the meaning of the myth.
Asteroid Orbits
Generally, the asteroids take around four to five years to orbit the Sun.
Their paths lie between Mars, which has a two year orbit, and Jupiter, with its twelve year orbit, although some asteroid orbits are longer.
Ceres
Ceres was the first asteroid to be discovered by Giuseppe Piazzi on January 1, 1801 in Palermo, Sicily.
Ceres Keywords:
Mother and Earth mother.
Physical nurturing, food, cooking, nutrition and eating disorders.
The parent/child relationship, parental kidnapping and custody battles.

There are three modes (modality, quadruplicities or qualities). The three modes are cardinal, fixed, and mutable. Each sign has one mode. Every mode has four signs associated with it.
The four Cardinal signs are Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn.
The four Fixed signs are Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius.
The four Mutable signs are Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces.
Modal Emphasis
Balanced Mode
The modes are balanced when they are spread evenly (as much as you can evenly spread seven into three).
For example, three planets in cardinal signs, two in fixed signs and two in mutable signs are considered in balance.
Strong Mode
A mode is considered strong when there are at least two more planets in the mode than the next best mode.
For example, four planets in cardinal signs, two in air and one in a mutable sign makes the cardinal mode strong.
Weak Mode
A mode is weak when there are no planets in the mode.
For example, three planets in cardinal, four in fixed and no planets in a mutable sign makes the mutable mode weak.
Cardinal Meaning
Strong Cardinal
People with many planets in the cardinal signs usually start things.
They are self-motivated, have goals and are the leaders of the zodiac.
Cardinal signs initiate change.
Weak Cardinal
A lack of planets in the cardinal signs suggests the individual is not one for starting things or getting things going.
For a weak cardinal person procrastination may be an issue.
Fixed Meaning
Strong Fixed
Those with many planets in fixed signs stick to things and can complete things.
They are tenacious, reliable, stubborn and steadfast. They are resistant to change to the extent that they may have to overcome inertia.
Weak Fixed
A shortage of fixed planets in the signs indicates the person has a certain wavering in life.
Mutable Meaning
Strong Mutable
Strong mutable signs are flexible, adaptable and inclusive.
They are accommodating, adjustable, amenable to change and they can move things along.
Weak Mutable
When there are no planets in a mutable sign it imparts some rigidity to the individual.

The three Air signs are Gemini, Libra and Aquarius.
Every air sign is masculine.
Water
The three Water signs are Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces.
Each water sign is feminine.
Which Planets to Count?
Only count the seven visible planets which are, the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn.
Your total will add up to seven.
The reason for this limited count is that you want a quality count and not a quantity count.
The visible planets have been in human consciousness since man (and woman) evolved.
We are fully aware of them.
Whereas the other planets are relatively new.
Elemental Balance
The elements are considered to be in balance when the planets are equally spread amongst them.
For example, one planet in a fire sign, two in earth signs, two in air signs and two in water signs shows the elements are in balance.
Elemental Strength
An element with two planets more than the next best element is considered strong.
For example, four planets in fire signs and two in earth signs, zero in an air sign and one in a water sign will give a fire emphasis as there are two planets more in fire than in earth.
Elemental Weakness
An element without planets is considered weak.
For example, in a chart where there are no planets in fire, none in earth, four in air and three in water, fire and earth are both weak.
Fire Element Meaning
Strong Fire
Strong fire people will make things happen by creating a spark.
They use their intuition to make decisions.
Generally, fire people are optimistic, enthusiastic, inspirational, faithful, stimulating and positive.
Weak Fire
A lack of planets in fire indicates that inspiration and visualization may be in short supply.
Earth Element Meaning
Strong Earth
Strong earthy folk will bring things into reality and give them form.
They use sensations (touch, smell and taste) to make decisions. They are practical, realistic, useful, and can be slow moving.
Weak Earth
A shortage of planets in earth suggests the person is not well-grounded and may have an airy-fairy approach to life.
Air Element Meaning
Strong Air
Strong air individuals determine what things are, label them and then they inform others.
They use their thoughts and minds to process information, knowledge, ideas and concepts to make decisions.
They are often intellectual, good communicators, thoughtful, objective, positive, theoretical and they can deal in abstractions.
Weak Air
No planets in the element of air hints at an inability to think things through and to find a conclusion.
Water Element Meaning
Strong Water
Strong water souls experience feelings about things and they may give them care.
They use their feelings to accept or reject things depending on their likes and dislikes to make decisions.
Generally, they are sensitive, aware of atmospheres, introverted, impressionable and flexible.
Weak Water
When the water element is without planets, it implies an inability to understand emotions and what things and situations upset themselves and others.

Jupiter entered the sign of Pisces on May 13th, 2021 for the first time in twelve years.
Jupiter as the Greater Benific
Jupiter is the largest planet in the solar system and is traditionally known as “The Greater Benefic” which means it is a really good planet.
Jupiter takes twelve years to do a full orbit of the Sun and it spends about one year in each sign.
This loosely relates to the Chinese Astrology of twelve years of the Rat, Tiger and Monkey etc.
Jupiter will be in Pisces until 2022.
Jupiter’s Sign Rulership
Jupiter is the planetary ruler of Sagittarius and it is also the traditional ruler of Pisces before Neptune was discovered.
This means that in traditional and Hellenistic astrology Jupiter will be in rulership in Pisces.
During the year that Jupiter will be in Pisces, Saturn will still be in Aquarius.
This means that both of the large planets will be strong in their own signs.
Who This Will Affect
Over the next year, I anticipate that if you are an earth sign (Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn) or a water sign (Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces), Jupiter will be more prominent for you.
If you are a fire sign (Aries, Leo and Sagittarius) or an Air sign (Gemini, Libra and Aquarius) sign then Saturn will probably be more influential for you.
As Jupiter transits through Pisces, it will affect each ascendant sign differently.
Check out how Jupiter’s passage through the sign of the Fish is likely to influence you by your ascendant sign below.
Aries Ascendent
Spirituality
During the next year you can anticipate a deeper connection to spirituality in your life.
If you are open to personal evolution, use this time to explore mysticism and your connection to faith, religion and how you see God.
Embrace meditation, prayer or yoga as tools to guide you through this time frame.
Live Your Dreams
This is the perfect time for you to create a dream for your life.
The first thing to do is to start a dream journal.
Every morning as you awake, jot down the main details about your dreams.
Déjà vu, visions, insights or flashes of inspiration that you receive during the day need to be paid attention to this year.
You can tune in to your clairvoyant abilities and use them to your advantage now.
Solitude
You probably will feel the urge to retreat from life a little more than usual now.
It is important that you have an adequate “me time” where you can spend an afternoon alone or maybe even a weekend to recharge your batteries.
Rest and recuperation are keywords for you this year.
They say if you can count the number of friends you have on one hand you are doing well.
Not everyone has a large pal’s network, but Jupiter’s passage through Pisces offers you some ideal moments to broaden your connections with companions.
This will be an impeccable time for you to grow your network.
It could be that your entourage, or the people you know, gets bigger although you may not necessarily consider them BFFs.
Friends and associates that you meet now potentially will have a lasting impression upon you.
Learn Together
Try to reach out to other people and keep connections going.
Share what you know with others.
It can be very easy to forget about classmates and before you know it, months have gone by.
Every week reach out to someone just to say, “Hello.”
It is as important for you and it is for them.
Groups
Anticipate moving in different circles with evolved people who have thought-provoking conversations and whom you see almost as visionaries.
Be alert to any “a-ha” moments that can improve your life.
The ideal place for you to go would be to a book club where you can learn new things.
This is the perfect time for you to publish anything that you’ve been working on it could be a book or it could be a blog post, or it could just be your opinion about something.
The important thing is to share your ideas with the world.
Jupiter will support you in getting your word out to the masses.
Educate
This is an ideal time for you to sign up for some adult educational classes or go back to school to finish that degree.
Use this time to explore thought-provoking subjects that interest you.
Anticipate an abundance of learning this year.
You may be surprised at the journey you take as you improve yourself through knowledge.
Travel
Although many cities are still in lockdown, you are likely to receive great offers to visit other places.
Become an armchair traveler, by reading books about the places you will visit one day.
Focus in on the art, architecture and cultural practices of other countries.
Consider every opportunity carefully but try to do some travelling this year.
This will be a time when other people will offer you things.
You are likely to receive many gifts but some of them will come with strings.
Be very aware of offers to up your credit limit is and, as tempting as it may be, think carefully before excepting every opportunity offered to you this year.
Intimacy
This is a period where your private life is likely to grow.
All intimate relationships have the potential to become more satisfying.
If you’re naturally retiring, you may find that you are now open able to open up to explorations in the bedroom.
Donations
Donations will be a feature of this period and they could go either way.
You may need to lean on the support and resources of other people which could be presented either in time or money, alternatively, you will be approached to donate to other people.
It could be as simple as spending a Saturday night looking after someone’s grandma or it could be a huge sacrifice that you are being asked to make if someone requests an organ donation from you.
For all Virgos, your primary one to one relationships will be of paramount importance this year.
If you are single, you are likely to meet someone really special.
If you are already in a relationship, you will find newfound happiness with your significant other.
Make sure to spend enough time together so your relationship can grow and blossom.
Collaborations
This is the perfect time to collaborate with others.
Typically, it may come down to a business relationship where you decide to work together for a common cause, or you may establish an official partnership, so that you can both benefit from the synergy of working together.
Consider every opportunity and don’t dismiss any out of turn.
Take an optimistic attitude and you will benefit by working with other people this year.
Other People
This will be a time when you are extremely likely to meet more people.
Not everyone will become your best friend, but how do you treat people that you do meet in passing will be important now.
Make sure that your karmic message of care, respect and how you treat other people is impeccable, because your action now will come back to you later.
If you are a Libra, this is the time to get your day-to-day life organized.
Create simple morning and evening rituals to help you withstand the ravages of the day.
Health
Choose to focus on healthy eating that nourishes your body and wards off ill health.
If you need a medical check, get it done early and use that as the set point for all improvement.
Do not ignore any sniffles and act immediately for the slightest cut or graze.
Job
Your job is a focus this period.
If you are unemployed. you are more likely to find work now than at any other time.
If you are a part-time employed and looking, opportunities will come your way.
If you have a job already and are quite happy, you may find that you receive job offers that you had not considered.
The important thing to bear in mind during this Jupiter transit, is that there may be other ways of working on a job that you had not considered before and which might be just what you need.
This is a year where you are likely to move house and depending on who you are, you may relocate multiple times.
Jupiter brings the urge to expand, so it could be that you want to get an additional room added to your home or work on finishing the basement.
You will have multiple good ideas through which to express this planetary energy.
The trick will be to know when to stop and not to take on a project that is way beyond your capabilities.
Family
In simple terms, your family is likely to expand this year which could happen in several ways.
A new child may be born, your daughter’s boyfriend could decide to move into your basement, or perhaps you take in your ageing parents to care for them.
Be prepared for people to be visiting and those who do will stay over a little longer than you had anticipated.
You are generous of spirit and this is the time to offer your home as shelter and succor to others.
Foundations
The foundations of your life will improve.
These changes can be shown in several ways.
You may finally accept the past and the family that you were born into as being OK.
This is a period to tap into your heritage and use it to support you as you go about your life.
Make sure you understand the origins of your family and choose to embrace some of these ideals in your current life.
2021 can be an important year when you get to know who you are and where you came from.
