Reader’s Question: I read your answer to another woman and I felt some similarities in my situation. I have recently broken up with my boyfriend of 10 months. It’s a bit deja vu…all on then a pulling away gradually. This time I decided not to chase and just accept he is at where he is at - scared to commit to a relationship - and there is nothing I can do about it except move on and work on myself instead. It’s frustrating to me because we are so compatible on so many levels. Would appreciate your thoughts. I am Aquarius, born 17 February 1969 at 9.16pm in Lower Hutt, New Zealand. He is Gemini, born 26 May 1970 at 2.30am in Melbourne, Australia

[The following letter is edited, with some personal details deleted–BT]

I need some advice please. 
 
Here are my details:
-  Born in Cape Town, South Africa
-  25 April 1978
-  Not sure on time I was born
 
I have been unsuccessful in a few relationships and really need advice, as I think some of the problems are being caused by me.  My last boyfriend I had (or still have ) have lots of communication problems, among other things. 
 
Here are a few of issues we went through:
-  We did see each other so 9 or 10 months back but I broke it off when I started getting phone calls at odd times in the evening.  This person wanted to know who I was and what was my name or would just keep quiet.
-  I broke our friendship off after he, on a few occasions made me wait and never pitched.  This also got to complicated with that “girl” and I knew in my gutt that, that was his girlfriend or something.
-  About 3 months back he started contacting me again and said he wanted to start a relationship with me. 
-  Wasn’t long before things started to get weird again.

Originally announced for today was “Real Life Sedna Stories” which will be posted, just not today. This question came in which I thought it was more important to post.–

Question:

I live in Boulder Colorado and will be moving back to the east side of the big island of Hawaii in May. My solar return chart sort of scares me. It seems so intense. I will be moving back to Hawaii to renovate the home my husband and I built, but left because we split up (temporaily, back together now). Is this chart dangerous, to my health or my property ( it is in the lava zone). And I feel like so many people want to hold me back or pick a fight and my parents are driving me nuts. The chart when set for Hawaii has the stellium in the eighth house. I am very unfamilar with that, is it death and destruction or something more positive? I am working on writing a channeled/inspired book, that looks like it should go well, right?

Not only should you keep track of the moon by sign, but also by phase. Each phase responds just a little differently to the current environment. Today the moon is in the waxing crescent phase moving toward the full moon. In the yin/yang duality that pervades astrological thought, all moon phases moving toward the full moon are reactive to surrounding influences, while the phases moving away from the full are reflective, acting from conscious action. With the waxing crescent phase there is a sense of obstacles being put in your way, a sense that you have to do something over to get it right. This is frustrating as there is a sense of urgency to move onto to new things. With the slow and practical Moon in Capricorn in tension aspect to the stick in the mud Mars in Cancer, we have our feet stuck one foot in the past and one foot forward into today.

My fiance and I have been wanting to tie the knot but we both keep putting it

Mars the planet of action is standing eye to eye with the planet of transformation Pluto. Like any two fighters they are measuring each other’s moxy. Pluto, brimming with the fierce intensity that only the god of the dead can possess, has no fear. Mars, the god of war, is quick to the fray, and possess the knowledge of how to wage war. The weapons to be used are words and ideas, which take flight like arrows from the bow. These two take no prisoners and don’t mind collatoral damage. With these two ready to let loose, this is a good time to stir up trouble.

Remember that person of a certain sun sign you found fascinating? You wonder if the two of you could ever make a go of it, if you just got together? Well the answer to that is a tad more complicated than matching your signs. To know if love has a chance to last, you really should visit your local astrologer. However, basic compatibility is important, and nothing is sadder than seeing a Geminii pine for a Scorpio, or a Leo after a Capricorn. Here’s why.

I was wondering what house a person should look at for career or natural talents?

March 7, 1972 2:59 PM PST 30N03 118W15

The natural career path is indicated in four houses.

Natural talents, creative gifts, the fifth house
The working environment, the sixth house
How you earn your money, the second house
Career drives, the tenth house

You have two strong planets in your tenth house, Mars in Taurus and Pluto in Gemini. With a tenth house Saturn, you want to be in charge of your working environment, with Mars you have a capacity to work long and hard hours in your chosen profession. Self employment is definitely an option.

The second house cusp in the sign of Virgo. You can earn your money in a helping profession. Also, Pluto resides in the second house in the sign of Libra, opposite Mercury. Mercury rules the communication professions. In addition, Jupiter in Capricorn is involved in a t-square with Pluto and Mercury. I believe it signifies that writing is part of long transformative process of soul growth and will be a part of any career you choose.

The Sun, your instinctive drives is in the sign of Pisces. Your natural desire is to help and in the eighth house, to help in matters of digging deep into the unconscious.

You would do well in profession such as counseling that will help satisfy your natural urge to help people. This counseling can be in a traditional way, or a non-traditional way such as a psychic counselor.

A process will begin in the fall of next year. when transiting Pluto will trine your natal Venus that will help you define and realize your career ambitions. You might find the resources denied you before will become available and you’ll be able to pursue higher education to further your goals.

Excuse me, why are you here? Oh, you want to know about your one true love? Really, just one? Oh, I see, you feel like you’ve found your soulmate, that this relationship is so intense, it can’t be anything else? Tell me, you wonder then why you aren’t married, why the relationship isn’t moving forward? Yes? Here sit, down. Why did I turn down the lights? So we can see the computer screen better, (though it is really because I don’t want to see you cry after I tell you what I have to tell you).

Weekly Forecast for the Week of August 24 to August 30

The rolling cadences of any Doctor Suess book lives a shadow life in the memories of any mother. “I do not like green eggs and ham, I do not like them, Sam I am.” Like a master juggler, the words fly, rolled around in endless repetitions and then, stops on a dime. Its bad enough, you have to read it once, you have to read it a thousand times, until your child realizes its all nonsense words and loses interest.

Come on up! cries the carnival huckster. “This the best ride of all! Do you want to know real danger? Do you want to know the mysteries the universe? The secrets of the occult? . . .Or just the secrets of your neighbors? Do you want to know the joys of sleazy sex? Obsessive love? Secret love affairs? Addiction? Step right up and take a ride on the Pluto Express!”

I would like a reading on what is going to happen for the next month or so.

JUNE 19, 1967, NO BIRTH TIME, 18N00, 76W48

Hah! You thought you were going to get a reading on your career, but that isn’t happening today! Sure the new position you got had more to do with promoting your career, so is the money going to come along? Good thing you didn’t take the job for the money,

What is really happening is that your love life is about to heat up in a most unexpected fashion.

Britney is a living study of this week’s super hot aspects as described in The Proverbial Rope and a License to Kill. With a freedom loving Sagittarian Sun and and an independent Aquarian moon, this celebrity isn’t going to be bound by anyone’s rules. Is it this moon that causes reports of callous and thoughtless behavior in her interactions with others? Or is it her Sagittarian Sun supercharged with by expansive Jupiter passing over her sun? in either case, this astrologer predicts that we have yet to see Britney in a full fledged meltdown as this week’s transits puts a full court press on a celebrity already stressed to the max.

Astrology for the Week of August 10 through August 16

This week not one, not two, not three, not four but five planets in the sign of Leo. The moon joins Mercury, Saturn and Venus, (who backpedaled from Virgo just to join the party) on the eleventh. The stage is set for the fun to begin.

We will be treated to extra chorus’ of “haven’t you noticed how wonderful I am?” As the sun wends its way through the last half of Leo, a theme emerges as this outstanding stellium of sun centric energy appears to be suspended by the tension aspect, the opposition, to the planet Neptune.

Neptune, as with all the other planets, teaches us about something outside our mundane lives. If there is a surface to Neptune, which is classified as a gas giant, we don’t see it. It would be captured under the swirling mists of methane gas, is not visible to the eye. Oh, we see Neptune. It looks from afar to be beautiful. Closer, we see its swirling cloud formations and faint rings, still amazing. But to get to its core, we’d be crushed under the weight of its atmosphere. So Neptune represents that beyond ourselves that we can not see clearly. It represents all things transcendent, romance, mystery, illusions, and delusions. Here is where we don’t see the forest for the trees.

Worse yet for our fire sign friends as the planet Pluto in Sagittarius continue its strong connection. Pluto talks about power and control, and with the harmonious trine to Leo and the other fire signs, it is a license to kill.

So on one hand you have Pluto saying “go ahead, do what you want?’ and Neptune saying “Sure, sounds like a good idea to me” and Leo, Aries and Sagittarius are thinking, “Great, I’m going to get what I want!”

The thing with Neptune though, is that it will pull the rug out from underneath you. Whatever you are thinking through a Neptunian lens, is just bound to have no foundation to stand on. It is the proverbial rope to hang yourself.

So what to do? Check it at the door. Dream big dreams, but have a wing man to run it by. Listen to what other people are saying, especially if it is not what you want to hear. Implement new plans carefully, check all the details. Based your thinking on the “worse case scenario”, not “it can be!”

This week:

Aries, Leo and Sagittarius, you’ve been warned.

Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn, attend to the details. Check your bank account. Check the words of advice you offer. You are sensing the instability of these days, but it is best not to take it out on those around you. If someone tells you to get your act together, tell them to check the “plank in thine own eye.”

Libra , Aquarius and Gemini you could easily jump on the fire sign’s bandwagon. Before you upset the apple cart, why don’t you just have a barbecue instead. Serve soft drinks only though.

Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces, playing with the big boys will only get you in trouble. While Scorpio has a grasp of the issues, Cancer and Pisces are really at sea with them. However, keep off of the playing field, as you could end up being everyone’s favorite fall guys.

You mentioned in your weekly forecast that Geminis should watch their spending. I have been having money issues as of lately. Will this clear up for me in the near future or am I destined to be scraping bottom forever?

Everyone has a Twelve Step Program and yours, dear reader, is in handling finances. The Twelve Step Program is mandated by the planet of tranformation, Pluto, which is dragging us all kicking and screaming into spiritual awarness. The handling of money is a key issue for you, with your moon in Libra sitting smack dab on top of Pluto posited in the second house of resources. Your Libran moon has a love of fine clothes, food and chachas, which is all well and good. However, that moon is in challenge aspect to the planet Jupiter, which acts as an amplifier to these desires. It doesn’t help either that you are going through your first
