Planetary Change - What's Coming Up Soon?

Astrology is both an individually experienced phenomenon, and something that transcends many groups. Every person may have a differentastrology reading … but when Mercury goes retrograde, or Jupiter moves into Aries, we are all affected. Today we look at some of the planetary events that re upcoming in the near future. Remember that the near future in astrological terms means something quite different than what it means to your two-year-old, though!

The Sun

As with many of the close planets, the Sun is currently in Aries. It entered the sign on March 20, and will leave on April 20.

Mercury

Mercury, the planet of communication, is currently in Aries also … watch out for overly direct personal interactions! It entered on March 17, and leaves on April 2.

Venus

The planet of love is also in Aries , busy making people bold, direct and more than a little pfiery in their most important relationships. Not for long though - it leaves on March 31.

Mars

Mars is currently in the sign of Leo. As we start making our way out to the planets that are further from the Sun, the intervals start lengthening - Mars will leave :eo and enter Virgo on June 7, 2010.

Jupiter

Jupiter is in Pisces until June 6 this year - with both Mars and Jupiter moving at around the same time, there may be upheaval in some areas of life. Jupiter re-enters Pisecs on September 9 this year, and then leaves again on Jan. 22, 2011.

Saturn

Saturn is currently in Libra … and if you follow the old advice that the only good place for Saturn is in someone else's chart or someone else's sky, you'll see it leave Libra and enter Scorpio on April 7. Not long to wait!

Chiron

Chiron is in Aquarius until April 20 this year, leaving at the same time the Sun changes signs. The question of how to fit into society is likely to be prominent in many people's lives.

Uranus

Fortunately, for many people the questions won't have to wait long to be resolved - Uranus is in Pisces, illuminating the path ahead. Uranus will leave Pisces sometimes between May this year and March next year, but until then, expect most things you know to be upended!

Neptune

Neptune will remain in Aquarius for a while yet - until April 4, 2011. But when you consider that it has been in Aquarius since January 1998, change is truly afoot! Political revision, illusion and confusion has abounded. Soon that will change … but how?!

Pluto

Little old Pluto transitioned into Capricorn in 2008, and there she shall remain until 2023.

As always, check in with your personal astrology reading to get a better idea of how all this upcoming change will affect you!
