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!

The Answer is In Front of my Eyes

Sometimes life takes twists and turns that we just can’t seem to get a handle on. My life seemed to be just like that; constantly up and down without any real rhythm to it. I was at another one of those crossroads trying to decide if I would take a new job in another city or just stay put where I was. Out of sheer desperation to get some kind of guidance I went to get an astrological reading. I was amazed at how much this person told me about myself just by knowing my date of birth.

When I asked this lady what I should do in this situation she told me I had unfinished business in this city and if I left now it would always be gnawing at me. I really had no idea what she meant by that but it sure sounded like I shouldn’t take the new job. After talking to her I found an astrology online site and got another reading. That reading also said something about unfinished business and the best thing for my future would to stay where I was. That was enough for me; I turned down the new job and stayed in this city where I had lived for most of my life.

Two weeks later I ran into a guy I went to college with whom I hadn’t seen in over five years. We had been somewhat of an item in college but broke it off just before graduation because he was going on to medical school and I was taking a job at the firm I am working at now. We talked for over an hour and come to find out he had just moved back into the city and was working at the hospital just a few blocks from my apartment. One thing led to another and we began dating again and then got engaged just a few weeks ago. Seems that astrological reading I got turned out to be right on target.

Behind your Sign

A lot of people will take a passing glance at what their daily horoscope says but usually don’t pay a lot of attention to it; most of the time they will happen across it in the far sections of the newspaper. I was one of those people who would read it and make a sarcastic comment about it and then just laugh it off. But then I began doing some research behind astrological readings and learned that there is a lot more to it than just a few lines in a newspaper.

I found a few really good astrology online sites that really explain the whole process of readings and how our birth signs really have major effects in our lives. If we would pay attention to the signs and make decisions according to what our readings state for that day, many people will find that it is really remarkable how close and accurate those readings are.

There are a lot of people who rely on their zodiac readings when making important decisions. If the signs aren’t right they will wait on a major decision until the signs are right. There have been some tested and true experiments by people who didn’t listen to their readings and ended up regretting the decisions they made. I am a true believer now and I consult my readings every day especially if I have major decisions to make in my life.

So many people think of horoscope readings as nothing more than just a joke and I have to admit that I was clearly one of those people who never took it seriously. I’m now a true believer because I can see how it can really benefit my life to understand what is going on each day according to my astrological sign.

I’m a Water Sign

A lot of my friends make fun of me because I am very serious about astrology and what is predicted for me according to my astrological sign. Where some people will just read what is written in a newspaper, I get a lot more in depth about it. People tend to think it’s a bunch of hocus-pocus but there is a real science around astrology and a great deal of truth to be found in it.

It goes way beyond just reading your daily horoscope; it’s about how the planets are aligned and how that affects our moods and personalities. I wrote a paper in college about the different personality traits according to astrological signs. I interviewed 50 different people; many of them I didn’t know very well and asked them was what their birth signs were. I also asked them 25 questions concerning their personalities and habits. After I got all the information from all the people I compared everybody who had the same sign. Amazingly they all displayed similar traits as others who had their same sign.

There have been many times that I consulted a professional who does personal astrology readings when I needed a little guidance as to what path I should take at a certain time in my life. It’s not that I don’t think I can make a decision on my own but sometimes I just need confirmation in knowing I am making the right choice. On those few occasions that I disregarded the advice, the choice I made turned out to not be the best choice.

I have gathered a great deal of good information about astrology online. I urge other people to do the research for yourself and not just take my word for it. There is a lot of truth in the science of astrology and I know it has helped me many times in my life.
