Cyclic patterns of the kind addressed in this book have always been somewhat of a backstory in this subject, as astrologers, both as writers and practitioners, tend to become bogged down in details about the frozen, static moment called the birth chart, and the contacts to its important points from transiting and progressed planets. There is nothing wrong with this in itself, of course, as these are the basic elements astrologers need to focus on in order to work with clients or to write articles and columns for magazines like this one. Those transits and progressions are a moving part of the astrological picture, but it is easy to lose sight of the fact that they can provide a larger context for people to plan and organize their lives with…

While I was thinking about the theme for this month’s column, I came across a news item about a book that will probably be the subject of next month’s review on page 8 of this magazine. It is a bestselling spy novel called Secrets of the Last Nazi that has a distinct astrological twist. The brief note on the book included a quote from the author that prompted me to hunt it up on amazon.com, where I found the Kindle edition for $2.99 and have now read quite a few chapters over the last couple of days. The quote was in an email sign-up section at the end of the book, in which author Iain King says: It’s also true that planets can be used to make accurate predictions about…

Some very clear signs that there is change ahead can be seen in Jupiter’s move into your home sector, Uranus’ move, at long last, into Taurus, your solar 9th house, and Saturn coming very close to meeting up with Pluto in your solar 5th house. Jupiter in a place that has to do with family, property and ancestry promises to help bring you and loved ones closer together, possibly to add value to your home, and perhaps even bring a long-lost relative or two into your life. Saturn’s meeting with Pluto in your solar 5th can open up a new chapter in your life, but unlike Uranus heading into your solar 9th, the Saturn chapter will require serious thought on your part. Saturnian change might not be easy, but it…

YOUR COSMIC TIMETABLE September 2018 All positions are for Midnight EST. The longitudes table indicates each planet’s daily position in the signs. The declinations table shows each planet’s placement north or south of the celestial equator. “R” in a planet’s listing in the longitude table indicates that it begins retrograde motion on that date, or may indicate retrograde status at the beginning of the month. “D” means that the planet has resumed its forward (direct) motion in the signs. Exact times for all of these phenomena are given in the Hourly Guide and in the Planning Calendar on the pages following this one.…

YOUR SEPTEMBER GUIDE 1st-8th: Project passions. Stay alert since you may run around more than usual this week, Gemini. There are several networking activities that you cannot pass up, since you want to advance projects that you are passionate about. Rest up on the weekend so you can enjoy that movie, concert, or sporting event you’ve been looking forward to attending with someone you love. 9th-16th: Talents and vision. On the 9th, Venus enters your solar 6th, and on that same day the New Moon occurs in your solar 4th. You may begin a creative business project that will involve family members who can contribute their talents and vision. This will encourage you to spend more time together and may even turn into a profitable venture. 17th-23rd: Creative thinker. As…

YOUR SEPTEMBER GUIDE 1st-8th: Travel abroad. Luck is on your side as you navigate travel opportunities, Virgo. On the 7th, a fortuitous Grand Trine is formed with Mercury in your sign, Saturn in your solar 5th, and Uranus in your solar 9th. This is the time to plan a trip abroad you may have started thinking about long ago. Stop thinking about it and start making plans. 9th-16th: Options and ideas. With the New Moon occurring in your sign on the 9th, take that travel idea quite seriously. Try to persuade your significant other or a close friend into going along with you. If nobody close to you bites, find a tour group that sounds as if you will fit right in. With so many travel options, it is just…

November 22nd to December 21st YOUR SEPTEMBER GUIDE 1st-8th: Financial plans. Turn your idealistic vision into a plan of action, Sagittarius. On the 7th, Saturn in your solar 2nd forms a Grand Trine with Uranus in your solar 6th and Mercury in your solar 10th. Get a financial planner on board and invest in a project that has the potential to provide profitable returns, even if this happens over a long period of time. 9th-16th: Practical idealist. With the Sun in your solar 10th forming a trine to Pluto in your solar 2nd on the 11th the project you began last week may accelerate now. Your greatest challenge is to create a way to earn money by doing something you are passionate about. Enlist the help of others who have…

YOUR SEPTEMBER GUIDE 1st-8th: Travel fever. It’s not too early to start making travel plans for the holidays, Aquarius. With Mercury in your solar 7th forming a sextile to Venus in your solar 9th on the 3rd, you may have been looking forward to taking a trip abroad, or visiting a place you have never been with a significant other or close friend. Holidays book up quickly, so start researching now. 9th-16th: Getting physical. Mars enters your sign on the 10th, giving you a boost of energy and the desire to get out of the house and office. Join a gym, and if you already have a membership, then stick to a regular workout. A trainer may also help to give you discipline and direction. It is also a great…

Some would say that people who reach the pinnacle of success are made not born, while others might say it is the opposite. On page 32, “Stars of the Superstars” provides a look at the life and works of famous composer and impresario Andrew Lloyd Webber, and the people who shared in his success. The verdict: family background, talent, and drive all play a part in making it to the top, but the birth chart has a say in it as well. In a birth chart, the “house” a planet is in tells us in which area of life that planet will have its greatest impact. If we understand houses, we can identify problem areas in our life and learn how to develop unexplored talents we may not be aware…

According to the principles of numerology, the year 2018 reduces to 2 (2+0+1+8=11=2), a number that lends itself to reflecting on the goals that you have set for yourself, and how you want to go about making them happen. Even if you have been wildly successful, life is about opening yourself up to new challenges and moving in new directions. Surround yourself with people who believe in you so that you can manifest your hopes and dreams. We add the number for the current year to the month number (January is 1, December is 1+2=3) to your own birthday number (1st=1, 31st=3+1=4) to calculate your vibration for the month. FOR THOSE BORN ON THE 1st, 10th, 19th, and 28th of any month Jupiter-3 vibrations expand your social circle as you…

ARIES ⋆ LOVE: First Week. On the 3rd of September Mercury in Leo sextiles Venus in Libra, making a casual introduction a launching pad for romance. Second Week. Venus squares Mars on the 8th, driving up passions and creating high-voltage encounters. Cupid’s on a roll; follow him. Third Week. Restrictions arise in the pursuit of love. Professional duties and a lack of availability create prohibitive scenarios. Fourth Week. On the 21st, Mercury enters Libra, your house of relationships (the 7th). Verbal give and take here leads to cooperative ventures. ⋆ MONEY: Venus enters Scorpio on the 9th in the house of credit cards, loans, debts, and financial settlements (the 8th). These areas become mired down in a mishmash of what is taxable, what can be written off, personal and shared bills,…

Andrew Lloyd Webber published Unmasked, a memoir of his life, on March 6, 2018, to mark his 70th birthday. This was, however, just the start of a big month for the noted composer. Sir Andrew, the composer and producer, was born on March 22, 1948, at 4:00 p.m. BST in London, England, with both his Ascendant and his Moon in Leo. Those whose charts show strength in this sign tend to have a need to be the center of attention in some way. Leo is thus the sign of celebrity, and it rules entertainment, acting, and the theater. Recently, Lloyd Webber was the Executive Producer of Jesus Christ Superstar Live in Concert, which debuted on Easter Sunday (April 1, 2018) on NBC. He was very closely associated with all aspects…

Before we get down to business with what Mercury is up to this month, let’s take a look at the other two inner planets. Mars turns direct on August 27, at 28 Capricorn, returning to the mode in which he feels most comfortable: action. As I think I’ve said in other installments of New Age, most people recover pretty quickly from Mars’ retrograde, a tendency symbolized by Mars’ trine with the transiting Sun shortly after the direct station. In this case, the trine takes place on September 27 with Mars in early Aquarius and the Sun in early Libra. The trine suggests effective action; the air emphasis suggests an understanding of the situations in which we act. Obviously, this trine has great potential for effective action in social situations, but…

YOUR SEPTEMBER GUIDE 1st-8th: Onward and upward. The summer may have come to an end, but your professional life is moving onward and upward, Aries. On the 5th, Mercury enters your work sector (solar 6th) and the next day Saturn stations direct in your solar 10th. You will be in the driver’s seat when it comes to calling the shots at work. Take on a leadership role and don’t look back. 9th-16th: Career moves. The New Moon joins Mercury in your solar 6th on the 9th, so you can use your innovative abilities to continue what you began last week. Consider this as the start of an exciting career path that will entail a new managerial position. If it does not work out, you will still be successful if you…

YOUR SEPTEMBER GUIDE 1st-8th: People pleaser. People you love will be your priority this week, Cancer. On the 7th, there is a Grand Trine between Mercury in your solar 3rd, Saturn in your solar 7th, and Uranus in your solar 11th. This may cause “people overload” even though you will be gratified that everyone wants to spend time with you. Pace yourself and you won’t feel as if others are draining you. 9th-16th: Reuniting with friends. With Mercury in your solar 3rd forming a trine to Pluto in your solar 7th on the 15th you will be motivated to reunite with old friends whom you have not seen in a while, but for whom you have warm feelings and memories. The New Moon in your solar 3rd on the 9th…

YOUR SEPTEMBER GUIDE 1st-8th: Rewards. This is the time to show off your talents and skills, Libra. With Mercury in your solar 11th forming a sextile to Venus in your sign on the 3rd, you may be called upon to address a group, or mentor someone at work. You have a unique ability to communicate clearly on subjects you are passionate about. Use those talents and you’ll reap rewards. 9th-16th: Express yourself. The New Moon occupies your solar 12th on the 9th so you might start a blog or write an opinion piece or memoir that you may want to publish or at least show to people. If writing is not your means to be creative, then make an artistic pastime a priority. It has been a while since you…

YOUR SEPTEMBER GUIDE 1st-8th: Innovative outlook. Plans and projects that have been in limbo will start to quickly move forward, Capricorn. Saturn stations in your sign on the 6th and on the next day forms a Grand Trine with Uranus in your solar 5th and Mercury in your solar 9th. This venture has the potential to be creative, innovative, and profitable. Your determination will impress others. 9th-16th: Excited to learn. On the 9th, the New Moon occurs in your education sector (solar 9th) so you may have to learn new skills to get that project from last week off the ground. That could involve taking a course or seminar, or even working with a mentor or private tutor. This will not be a dull experience, but an exciting adventure, which…

YOUR SEPTEMBER GUIDE 1st-8th: Friendly offer. Keep your eyes open for an offer that a partner or close friend may try to interest you in, Pisces. On the 6th, Saturn stations direct in your solar 11th, followed by the next day’s Grand Trine with Uranus in your solar 3rd and Mercury in your solar 7th. What may seem like a frivolous idea may begin to transform into a full-fledged business opportunity. 9th-16th: Art of compromise. With the New Moon positioned in your solar 7th on the 9th, your focus should be on making amends with people you may have differences with. This is a way for you to communicate clearly, and for both of you to learn the art of compromise. Agree to disagree and the two of you can…

Astrology is a source of guidance for many people all over the world. However, most people know only the basics of the subject, such as the signs, and the Sun, Moon, and planets — and certainly they know what their own Sun sign is. At the same time, they also know that there is more to astrology than that, but unless they can afford a personal astrologer, a good deal of the birth pattern called their horoscope remains hidden from them, a treasure trove of secrets that they may never discover. An astrological chart consists not just of signs and planets, but also houses, which are one of the important cornerstones of astrology. An astrological chart is composed of 12 houses, each of which represents particular areas of an individual’s…

Your plan of activity for September should be, “First you work, then you play!” Mars visits two signs that represent very different urges. It spends the first 10 days of this month in Earth-sign Capricorn, which is associated with patience, caution, self-discipline and security. On September 10, Mars moves into Air sign Aquarius, where the planet will stay until November 15. Aquarius is associated with freedom, originality, and independence. Planets in Aquarius have an unpredictable quality, which means anything can happen. While Mars is in Aquarius you can make progress by being inventive and open-minded, doing new things, and using the latest methods or technologies. Regardless of the sign involved, conflicts can arise in the sector of your chart holding transiting Mars, especially if things fail to go in your…

During September, Mercury moves from 21 Leo to 13 Libra. In doing so, that most changeable of planets makes challenging aspects to natal Pluto for people born in the following periods: Transiting Mercury squares natal Pluto in the relevant degrees of Taurus, Gemini, and Cancer for those born: 12/1925-6/1926; 2/1927-7/1927. Transiting Mercury conjoins natal Pluto in the relevant degrees of Leo, Virgo, and Libra for those born: 10/1951-1/1952; 2/1952-10/1977; 6-7/1978. Transiting Mercury squares natal Pluto in the relevant degrees of Scorpio, Sagittarius, and Capricorn: 12/1991-1/2015; 7-11/2015. Some in the Scorpio-Sagittarius-Capricorn group presently find themselves merely toddling about, while some in the Taurus-Gemini-Cancer group find themselves in the final phases of life. Those in the older group should interact with those in the younger group, as they have much to teach…

YOUR SEPTEMBER GUIDE 1st-8th: Creative genius. Your creative drive will move full speed ahead, Taurus.

Work with a partner who will inspire you to find an artistic outlet for your original ideas. 9th-16th: Partnership works. Last week’s Grand Trine still makes its presence felt, so continue to search for the perfect creative partnership. On the 9th, Venus moves into your relationship sector (solar 7th), allowing you to find someone who shares your artistic sensibility. Once that occurs and you merge your visions there is no stopping you. 17th-23rd: Backseat drver. Mercury in your solar 6th…

YOUR SEPTEMBER GUIDE 1st-8th: Fast track. Prepare yourself, as your career may begin moving on the fast track, Leo. With the Grand Trine between Mercury in your solar 2nd, Saturn in your solar 6th, and Uranus in your solar 10th occurring on the 7th, you may be in line for a promotion or raise. Show off your talents to those who matter. 9th-16th: Strive for success. Venus moves into your solar 4th on the 9th, and Mars enters your solar 7th on the 10th, so those you love will support you if you want to make a career change. If the offers at your present job situation do not satisfy you, take your time looking for something new. Whichever way you go, things will work out, even if it takes…
