I got bad news yesterday that ruined my entire week. I wasn’t given information that I should have been, and the lack of that communication resulted in a tremendous amount of wasted effort, energy, and hope.

I checked my transits that morning the first time in a couple weeks. At first glance, I knew something important was going to happen. I’ve been studying astrology for far too long to not know the signs. I’m going to break them down into a list to simplify it.
Transiting Sun conjunct Pluto
I was born with a natal Sun/ Pluto conjunction about 4 degrees apart. So, it’s only natural that around October 30/31st of every year, the transiting Sun conjuncts my natal Pluto. However, generally, this means that the day will reflect extremes and the need for major changes
Transiting Mars conjunct Moon (activating a million aspect patterns)
Mars in Leo is just a few degrees away from my natal Moon in the 8th house. My natal Moon in Leo is exactly opposite natal Mars in Aquarius. The opposition is formed int
o a tight T-Square by Pluto squaring both planets from 2 degrees away. I have an extremely short, violent, explosive temper that I usually keep under tight control (Thank you, Saturn!) When Mars is transiting, it activates whatever planet or angle it’s touching. Needless to say, the bad news blew the lid off my control panel and my temper poured out like a pyroclastic surge.
Transiting Saturn conjunct MC
Saturn is still technically in my 9th house of higher education, however, being in the 10th sector (less than 3 degrees from the next house) makes this placement very important. Saturn is the traditional ruler of death and endings; it also represents completion, hard work, and maturity, timing, problems, and blockages. I’m graduating college in about 2 months. Saturn is about 2 degrees from my MC (career, life direction, reputation). The news I received was a huge BLOCK, SETBACK, and ENDING to a significant career move I had made. I love when astrology reflects real life.
Transiting Venus opposite Node
Venus is currently conjunct my South Node. I have been reaching out to people I haven’t talked to in a long time and vice versa. Venus rules relationships, money, and love. In my natal chart, it rules my 10th house (career), 6th house (workplaces), and 5th house (hobbies/love). When I m
ean relationships, I mean all relationships. I’ve recently gone through rigorous effort to cut off some female friends (natal Venus in 11th house) for good (South Node = separations). I’ve also been separated from my workplace ambitions. As Venus is transiting the 10th house, at the moment, this is a very public issue. The nodes represent connections, separations, and all the important things we’re supposed to learn in this life to make up for the mistakes we made in another life. When Venus transits the 11th house, I’ll probably make up with those female friends.
Transiting Mercury conjunct Sun
I expected to receive some kind of message that would affect my self-confidence and focus. It would also affect my hopes and aspirations since my natal Sun sits in the 11th house. Natal Mercury is in the 12th house so I knew it would be the kind of news that would reveal something previously unknown, good or bad. Generally, I was busier than usual that day, and the need to settle that restless energy was to take care of everything I had on my list (Mercury). If I hadn’t done that, I would have never found out the BAD news!!
Transiting Pluto conjunct Neptune and square MC
Normally, I wouldn’t include this; however, it’s important to note that my Progressed Ascendant is at 2’ Capricorn. My natal Neptune is at 3’30 Capricorn. Transiting Pluto is at 1’ Capricorn. This is all occurring in my natal and Progressed 1st house. Therefore, these aspects, although long term, will increase the power of any aspects that occur until they separate. Pluto represents major upheavals. Neptune rules illusions. The MC represents life goals, public reputation, and your career (on top of other things, of course). Unforeseen (Neptune) upheavals (Pluto) that will affect my career goals (MC).
Transiting Jupiter square Venus and Transiting Neptune square Mercury
Jupiter/Venus aspects are normally good. I have natal Venus trine Jupiter, yet both planets are retrograde. That basically means yea, you’ll get what you want, but it won’t be exactly what you asked for. The aspect isn’t terrible, but it basically means backwards luck or fortune. Neptune squaring Mercury is pretty much the bad news itself. Unmentioned details. Hidden facts. Miscommunication. Dissolution of plans.
Transiting Moon conjunct Jupiter (chart ruler) and Transiting Uranus trine Mercury
Alas, the two deal breakers! Transiting Moon and Uranus are both in my 3rd house (messages). Uranus also rules my 3rd house natally and conjuncts my Ascendant, so it’s a very important planet in my chart which makes it important to watch in transit. Jupiter is my chart ruler and is one of the strongest planets in my chart, so often, aspects to natal Jupiter reflect times when something happens: big or small.
Transiting Moon in Pisces (secrets, unknown) was conjunct natal Jupiter (backwards luck) in the 3rd house (messages). Transiting Uranus (unexpected changes) in Pisces (secrets, unknown) trine natal Mercury (messages, communication) in 12th (secret, hidden).
Yes, the trine is a positive aspect; I never said my life was over. This is another reason why you can’t take aspects by face value. The conjunction formed by the Moon to Jupiter may have, in fact, set in motion all of the events that transpired that day. (I didn’t go into ALL of the unlucky luck I had).

This was an extremely long delineation of my bad day. My point: Watch the Moon. If you see a bunch of aspects lined up, very strong aspects, you should note that this is a significant point in time. When the Moon forms an important aspect, it’s likely that whatever has been cooking in that pot of yours, is ready to serve.

intro series is over (sorry guys!). No hard feelings to anyone; it’s just that my passion for astrology comes from the research, not the textbooks. Call it a Uranus/Chiron curse– I sure do.
I got Neptune and Uranus funking up my “glasses” with psychedelic, kaleidoscope colors, Jupiter stretching my thoughts beyond the limits of human understanding in my 3rd house, Chiron giving me beef with everyone I meet (7th house), and Mercury & Saturn in the cosmic was

I used to think there was a method to meteorology, however, as the week drones on and the weather gets more psycho– I’m starting to wonder if science has thrown the rulebook out the window and meteorology is just doing whatever the heck it wants.

I have returned! I haven’t been back here in what feels like ages! I apologize to my readers, life can get so hectic sometimes you just don’t know what to do. Leave it to the Moon in Virgo transiting my Jupiter and Saturn to make me get up off my butt and get back into the swing of things.
