This report is titled the "Destiny and Decisions Forecast" because there is an element of the future that you cannot change; this is your destiny. But you also have choices and options available to you; these are your decisions. 

This report predicts where the planets are in the current time period, when they will be forming 
aspects to your natal planets, what influences these aspects bring, and how long they will last--as far into the future as you wish to look. THIS is truly PREDICTIVE ASTROLOGY! 

Our report goes beyond the limitations of most astrological forecast reports in two very 
important ways: (1) we go into a much more detailed interpretation for the heavier aspects that 
could have a greater impact on your life, and (2) we include some suggestions for you to consider regarding how you may deal with the influences. This should eliminate the need for further counseling in most cases. 

Your forecast begins on the next page. If the time period for an interpretation is, for example, 
given as "July 1, 1999 (June 15, 1999 to July 15, 1999)", then it starts in mid-June, reaches 
greatest intensity around July 1, and ends in mid-July. The first date listed is the time when the 
influence has reached maximum strength. 

An influence may last for as little as a week to as long as half a year or so. 

To obtain maximum benefit from this report, we recommend a periodic study and review of the 
information as the time period unfolds--once a week, at least, and more often when there are 
significant things going on in your life. It is always good to keep a diary or a journal to get a 
sense of the timing of the transits and a history of how they affected your life. 

Following is the data from your natal chart with which the transiting planets form aspects:

Sep 12, 1998         (Sep 10, 1998 to Dec 1, 1998)   Mars 8th H. 

TRANSITING MARS IN THE EIGHTH HOUSE--Mars transiting the houses influences the 
areas of life in which you express your actions and desires, and where you need to use energy 
and initiative in order to get results. In the eighth house transit, energy and initiative are 
emphasized, with strong desires and emotional intensity. You are likely to have a powerful sex 
drive with the aggressiveness to use it constructively. Psychic power, afterlife, and the occult will 
be subjects for your study and consideration during this time. You are likely to be secretive in 
many of your activities and may prefer working alone. 
 
Sep 17, 1998         (Aug 17, 1998 to Dec 16, 1998)Ura Trine Mars 

TRANSITING URANUS TRINE NATAL MARS--This transit will show you and others new 
sides of yourself that you have not been able to express before, especially if you have been a shy and retiring sort of person. During this time others will notice that you are able to break out of 
your old habits and do things that you would normally not try. Uranus shows you new ways of 
doing things, and Mars provides the energy and courage to express yourself as never before. 
Together they will help you develop new and stronger confidence in yourself. You could get 
involved with some kind of freedom movement now to help others realize more freedom, for you will remember how difficult it has been for you to buck the traditions. Whatever you attempt 
during this transit, it will have to allow you to be yourself, and to utilize your new-found courage 
and self-confidence. You can work well with others only if they will recognize that. You could 
be very content to go your own way, but this aspect provides too much of an opportunity for 
expanding the greater good of all for you to choose to go it completely alone. 
 
Sep 25, 1998         (Sep 24, 1998 to Oct 27, 1998)   Sun 9th H. 

TRANSITING SUN IN THE NINTH HOUSE--When the Sun transits this house of your Natal chart, it influences the departments of life most strongly affected by the individual will and 
power potential. Ninth house position indicates a time of dynamic interest in spiritual and 
religious pursuits, especially in realms of higher education, religion, law, and philosophy. You 
have a highly intuitive mind, and may have flashes of inspiration that can help you to solve 
problems. You could have visions of the future that border on prophecy during this time. You are likely to be interested in distant places and their culture, art forms, and traditions. You will 
probably have strong moral convictions by which you guide your life. Your beliefs may not be 
traditional, and you need to be extremely careful to avoid any tendency to impose your religious 
and moral views upon others. 

Sep 25, 1998         (Sep 24, 1998 to Oct 14, 1998)  Merc 9th H. 

TRANSITING MERCURY IN THE NINTH HOUSE--Transiting Mercury in the houses deals with the practical affairs that occupy your mind and shows what areas of activity will be 
influenced by your thoughts and communications. In the ninth house transit, it arouses an interest 
in higher education, or professions requiring advanced degrees. Many teachers and professors 
have Mercury in this house. Interest in philosophies can be strong. Your decisions include moral 
and ethical considerations as well as the practical. You need to guard against intellectual pride 
and snobbery, during this time. Don't allow yourself to become dogmatic and sectarian in your 
opinions and beliefs. 
 
Sep 29, 1998         (Aug 23, 1998 to Dec 11, 1998)Ura Trine Merc 

TRANSITING URANUS TRINE NATAL MERCURY--Trine aspects are supportive. This 
transit can produce new interest and excitement in everyday life without pushing it until you can't 
enjoy it. It stimulates mental activity so that the world around you also becomes more interesting. It is an excellent time for learning new skills, particularly of a technical or scientific nature. 
Conversation with friends can introduce new ideas and new means of communicating. It is a 
good time to announce anything new to the world, or to introduce a new product, if you are in the business world. 
 
Oct 2, 1998          (Oct 1, 1998 to Oct 27, 1998)    Ven 9th H. 

TRANSITING VENUS IN THE NINTH HOUSE--Venus transiting in the houses influences 
how you express yourself romantically, artistically and socially in the various areas of your life. 
Ninth house position brings you a love of art, religion, and philosophy. You will love to travel 
and will be especially receptive to people of other cultures. You could marry someone from a 
foreign country, and much happiness can come from in-laws relationships during this transit. 
You could also become a scholar in foreign cultures. 
 
Oct 7, 1998      5 PM(Oct 6, 1998 to Oct 9, 1998) Mars Sxtil Sun 

TRANSITING MARS SEXTILE NATAL SUN--This is a healthy transit and you are able to 
approach everything you do with vigor and self-confidence. This is also true at the psychological 
level, making it easy for you to assert yourself and stand up for your views. New opportunities to be personally effective and to prove yourself often occur during this transit. It could bring a 
promotion or a new job. You will be able to work well on your own and with others, and you 
may have an opportunity to demonstrate this. You are more likely to know what you want now 
and to have the energy and self-confidence to go after it. You project your ideas with more power and energy than usual. It should be a good time for a job interview, or to buck for a promotion. Business and commercial negotiations are also favorable at this time. 
 
Oct 8, 1998      4 AM(Oct 7, 1998 to Oct 9, 1998) Ven Trine Merc 

TRANSITING VENUS TRINE NATAL MERCURY--Trine aspects are most supportive, and this is a good transit for pleasant thoughts and communication. It is an excellent time to tell 
someone you love them. All relationships should be pleasant and congenial. You will be 
light-hearted and ready for a good time. Go for a drive, have a party, or begin a long vacation. It is a good time to just sit back, relax and let your thoughts wander. 
 
Oct 8, 1998      8 AM(Oct 6, 1998 to Oct 9, 1998) Mars Sxtil Jup 

TRANSITING MARS SEXTILE NATAL JUPITER--This is a very positive transit for almost 
any kind of activity you may wish to engage in. It is especially good for business ventures and 
for dealing with authorities. You should be able to get the best possible deal for yourself. 
Physical energy is high and you should enjoy good health and good spirits. 
 
Oct 8, 1998      8 AM(Oct 7, 1998 to Oct 9, 1998)  Ven Conj Mars 

TRANSITING VENUS CONJUNCT NATAL MARS--This transit tends to make you feel more vivacious and attractive than usual and you can well be the life of the party. Artistic activity is indicated, for you will want to express yourself through creativity and love. At this time, your 
desire for and physical attraction to, the opposite sex may be heightened. The effect softens the 
nature of Mars, influencing you to be more willing to meet your partner's needs. Under this 
influence, sexual relations could be very satisfying to both partners. 
 
Oct 8, 1998     11 AM(Oct 7, 1998 to Oct 9, 1998)  Merc Conj Plu 

TRANSITING MERCURY CONJUNCT NATAL PLUTO--This can be a two-sided transit. It indicates a time of very intense mental activity in which your thinking and communications with 
others will have an extremely penetrating quality. You are obsessed with getting to the bottom of every question and will not be satisfied with superficial answers. It is a good time for research 
and investigative activities. You have the capacity to influence others when necessary, making 
clear that what you say is truth, not opinion. Any aspect of these two planets gives you the ability to speak with persuasive force and vigor. In fact, others will believe you are right, even if you do not have the answer. It is critical that you take the feelings of others into consideration when you 
speak, or extreme opposition could result--even if they believe you. The other side of the transit 
is that others may do the same thing to you. It can indicate an extremely unpleasant mental power struggle in which you may be either the victim or the perpetrator. Or, you could become 
preoccupied and obsessed by a single idea or point of view which you cannot let go, until it 
seems to control your life for that day. This could be very intense while it lasts, but, fortunately, 
Mercury transits do not last very long. 
 
Oct 9, 1998     12 AM(Oct 7, 1998 to Oct 10, 1998)  Sun Conj Sat 

TRANSITING SUN CONJUNCT NATAL SATURN--This aspect will nag you to turn your 
attention to your duties and responsibilities, things you may not want to do, but feel you must. 
These duties can be more imagined than real, but they often are very real. One measure of the 
mastery of life is to be able to recognize reality, and this a good time to begin to disseminate. 
What you accomplish under this transit could be of lasting benefit when you follow the 
illumination of the Sun and the discipline of Saturn. This is an excellent time for organization 
and planning and to promote form and order. Just don't let it extend to the point of trying to order and organize people--you could meet resistance. Your energy may be low, so you will need to conserve it by careful planning and doing only what is necessary. You will feel pressure from any necessary tasks you leave undone during this period. This may not be an emotionally 
comfortable transit when it comes to relating to people, but don't dwell on feelings of loneliness 
and depression. Get to work--that is what this transit is all about. 
 
Oct 9, 1998      8 AM(Oct 8, 1998 to Oct 10, 1998)Merc Sxtil Nep 

TRANSITING MERCURY SEXTILE NATAL NEPTUNE--Positive imagination accompanies this transit. Your intuitive Mercury mind is tuned in to the higher plane of mystical Neptune. Prayer and meditation is indicated. Daydreaming is likely, therefore it is not a good time for performing tasks which require clear thinking and concentration. However flights of fancy will illuminate your higher mind and artistic frontiers can open up for you. The keyword is 
inspiration. 
 
Oct 9, 1998     11 PM(Oct 8, 1998 to Oct 11, 1998)  Mars Sqr Ura 

TRANSITING MARS SQUARE NATAL URANUS--This transit will bring you a short period of restlessness and impulsiveness. You will want to take action on your freedom instincts, and you will feel challenged upon your ability to be yourself. You will need to control these impulses lest they bring on revolt and rebellion. You need to create the appearance and the activity of on-going growth and change, and be satisfied with gradual improvement. The action elements of Mars and the freedom demands of Uranus will make this difficult, but drastic actions will only make things worse. Avoid conflict with authority figures during this time. Fortunately, Mars transits only last about three or four days, and when you know they are coming, at least you can discipline yourself to wait them out while you go on with the other areas of your life in a positive manner. 
 
Oct 11, 1998     6 AM(Oct 10, 1998 to Oct 12, 1998)Merc Sxtil Asc 

TRANSITING MERCURY SEXTILE THE NATAL ASCENDANT--This aspect quickens the mind and enhances communications skills. Self confidence and self-worth are enhanced. You will like to talk, and are more mentally alert than usual. It will be easy to reach agreements, and 
is a good tome to get rid of paperwork and to write letters. It is a good time for any kind of 
commercial or business transactions, contract negotiations, and/or buying and selling. 
 
Oct 12, 1998     4 AM(Oct 11, 1998 to Oct 13, 1998)Merc Trine Sun 

TRANSITING MERCURY TRINE NATAL SUN--Trine aspects are supportive and this one is no exception. Your mind should be unusually clear with this transit--especially for all mental 
work and communications. You can state your case effectively and should benefit from 
negotiations. It is a good transit for organization and getting rid of paperwork. This is a good 
time to begin a new learning process or a new course of study, especially if it piques your 
interest. 
 
Oct 12, 1998    10 AM(Oct 11, 1998 to Oct 13, 1998)Merc Conj Jup 

TRANSITING MERCURY CONJUNCT NATAL JUPITER--This transit can broaden your 
comprehension of issues and general understanding of life from both the intellectual and 
psychological point of view. It can be an extremely useful aspect in many ways. It is favorable 
for business and commercial activities since you can see the big picture. Optimism and 
enthusiasm are high during this time. There could be a risk of too much expansion of your views, 
and important details could get overlooked. Keep it down to earth and much can be 
accomplished. 

Oct 13, 1998     9 AM(Oct 12, 1998 to Oct 14, 1998) Ven Conj Sat 

TRANSITING VENUS CONJUNCT NATAL SATURN--This is not the typical "feel-good" 
Venus transit, but it is not negative. It centers around love and affection, adding discipline and 
practicality to relationships. There could be difficulty in some relationships, and occasionally, it 
might mean saying goodbye to a loved one. You may seek the advice of an older person 
regarding relationships during this transit. You are likely to act with restraint, so there is not the 
usual self-indulgence in buying sprees like in some other Venus transits. 
 
Oct 13, 1998     5 PM(Oct 12, 1998 to Oct 15, 1998)Mars Sxtil MC 

TRANSITING MARS SEXTILE THE NATAL MIDHEAVEN--This is a positive transit for 
self-confidence and courage. You can pursue your objectives with assurance and wit, and it 
brings a high energy level. You want to get things done quickly, so you need to watch out for 
impulsiveness. It is a good transit for working in cooperation with others, provided their energy 
is also good. Otherwise you will be impatient with them. You can be assertive, but rather mellow with it, so you can usually get your way without offending others. It is a good transit for getting 
things done in a joint effort with others. 
 
Oct 14, 1998     1 PM(Oct 13, 1998 to Oct 15, 1998) Merc Conj MC 

TRANSITING MERCURY CONJUNCT THE NATAL MC--This transit with the midheaven 
affects those areas related to your career, profession and/or vocation. You may receive an 
important communication regarding one of these areas, necessitating a well thought out response. This is a good time to discuss your goals and future plans regarding your career. You will be able to communicate these plans logically and effectively, making it appropriate to concentrating 
upon furthering your career. Use this transit to clarify your actions to others and seek their 
support. 
 
Oct 14, 1998         (Oct 13, 1998 to Oct 29, 1998) Merc 10th H. 

TRANSITING MERCURY IN THE TENTH HOUSE--Transiting Mercury in the houses deals with the practical affairs that occupy your mind and shows what areas of activity will be 
influenced by your thoughts and communications. In the tenth house it influence you to pursue 
education for reasons of professional ambition. You have good organizational ability and the 
capacity to plan for the future. Your career is not likely to be accidental. You are able to 
communicate with people of power and prestige, and with the public, so that politics would be a 
natural for you. Whatever your occupation, it will involve communications media. Ambition is 
the keyword during this transit, but beware that it could take precedence over principles if you 
are not careful. 
 
Oct 15, 1998     8 AM(Oct 14, 1998 to Oct 16, 1998)Merc Trine Moon 

TRANSITING MERCURY TRINE NATAL MOON--This transit will put you "in touch with 
your feelings" and with the feelings of others as well. It is a good time for you to look into 
yourself and bring the psychological part of your past up to date. You will understand the feeling 
side of all kinds of communications now and it would be a good time to clear up any emotional 
situations that you may have with others. They could sense your empathy and be receptive to 
your efforts to establish better communications. It is imperative for you to be completely honest 
in all your communications during this transit. 
 
Oct 15, 1998     6 PM(Oct 14, 1998 to Oct 17, 1998)Mars Sxtil Moon 

TRANSITING MARS SEXTILE NATAL MOON--This transit brings strong emotions, and you seek out experiences that involve both your mind and your feelings. You have the energy to work hard, but only on projects which affect you and your emotional interest. You can be impulsive and your thinking is not very objective. You may seek a passionate sexual relationship--or this transit can make an ongoing one more intense. Be careful to avoid obsessions and try not to make enemies. 
 
Oct 17, 1998     6 PM(Oct 16, 1998 to Oct 18, 1998) Sun Conj Plu 

TRANSITING SUN CONJUNCT NATAL PLUTO--The Sun illuminates the regeneration needs when in relation to Pluto. This transit will not allow you to stay where you are. There are 
probably several things that need fixing in your life and relationships, as well as mechanical and 
technical things. You will not be able to operate at a casual level in your life at this time. Pluto 
indicates positive change--if you can't fix it, you will tear it down, start over and do it right. Pluto 
doesn't make it easy--you may be challenged by others as to your ideas or your methodology. 
You will not appreciate the Plutonian energies from others, but you need to seek a level of 
understanding and cooperation. This can be a positive time for making many things right in your 
life and in the lives of those close to you. The transit may merely motivate you to repair 
something that has broken down, such as a car, an appliance, a relationship or someone's health. You will get deeply involved in whatever you do, as Pluto works from deep within your psyche. 
 
Oct 19, 1998     3 AM(Oct 18, 1998 to Oct 20, 1998)Sun Sxtil Nep 

TRANSITING SUN SEXTILE NATAL NEPTUNE--This transit can "illuminate" intuition. 
During this aspect it may not be enough for you to understand what something is--you will also 
want to know what it means. You will be extremely receptive to the thinking and feelings of 
others. You will understand their needs and be willing to help them out. Your feelings will be 
charitable because your personal ego needs are low. Pursue spiritual matters, for mystical and 
spiritual concerns are likely to claim your attention more than usual. This is a time for 
contemplation on your beliefs, and where you are with self understanding. Spend time in prayer 
and meditation, and you will be able to get in tune with your inner self and the universe. 
 
Oct 19, 1998         (Oct 6, 1998 to Nov 1, 1998)  Sat Oppos Jup 

TRANSITING SATURN OPPOSITE NATAL JUPITER--This transit brings two powerful 
planets with opposite influences into opposition with each other. It forces a time for "holding 
on", if not for actually cutting back. You may feel like you are getting nowhere, and there may be financial problems, especially if you have overextended yourself in the recent past. Other people 
may inhibit you at this time, and personal relationships may go through a time of trial. This 
transit is a useful, though not always pleasant, encounter with reality. It will help you see and 
understand any mistaken directions of the recent past, and motivate you to make future plans 
with a more solid and realistic approach. If you have been moderate and conservative in recent 
activities, it may not be so painful. Instead it can help you evaluate your progress. 
 
Oct 20, 1998     7 AM(Oct 19, 1998 to Oct 21, 1998) Ven Conj Plu 

TRANSITING VENUS CONJUNCT NATAL PLUTO--This transit combines the emotional 
influences of Venus with the deep, intense influences of Pluto. It can make you seek unusual and 
intense love experiences. You could be looking for escape from life through love. You need to be careful with the intensity if you are in a relationship, for you could send out the message that you are unhappy with things as they are. Avoid using love to manipulate your partner. Pluto will not support purely selfish efforts. This transit can bring a marvelous experience if your loved one can respond to your mood. 

Oct 21, 1998    10 AM(Oct 20, 1998 to Oct 22, 1998)Ven Sxtil Nep 

TRANSITING VENUS SEXTILE NATAL NEPTUNE--This a short, pleasant transit which can arouse the creative and romantic imagination. Relationships are harmonious and can be enhanced by spiritual influences. Although, you should spend some time alone in a pleasant and beautiful environment: a landscape, seascape, flower garden, or forest. If it puts you into a sweet, dreamy fog, who's to say we don't need that kind of a day once in a while? 
 
Oct 22, 1998     6 AM(Oct 21, 1998 to Oct 23, 1998)Sun Sxtil Asc 

TRANSITING SUN SEXTILE THE NATAL ASCENDANT--This transit illuminates the Self 
with a need to seek recognition from others. In group activities you will want to lead and the 
others will sense your need for that and won't seem to mind. Your need for social activities will 
be strong, and will be fulfilled by sharing with others. This works both ways, for no one is alone 
in this world. Others will respect you for being open and honest, and everybody likes to be 
needed. 
 
Oct 22, 1998     7 AM(Oct 20, 1998 to Oct 23, 1998)Mars Sqr Merc 

TRANSITING MARS SQUARE NATAL MERCURY--This transit brings a high energy level 
and great capacity for mental effort. However, your ego identifies with your ideas and you will 
not countenance disagreement. If any obstacle gets in your way, you are likely to respond with 
anger and irritation. Be careful how you talk to others, for the risk of arguments and disputes is 
very high. You will be strong enough to carry out your points of view, but try not to ride 
roughshod over others. Be careful of using any machinery or sharp objects, especially if angry, as you are likely to be accident prone during this transit. 
 
Oct 23, 1998     6 PM(Oct 22, 1998 to Oct 24, 1998)Sun Trine Sun 

TRANSITING SUN TRINE NATAL SUN--This transit occurs twice a year: four months before your birthday and four months after. It is a time of balance and equilibrium in your life, when you can be yourself with the least amount of obstacles from people or circumstances. Your energy level should be high and you can work or play with vigor and enthusiasm. Things may be going so well, in fact, that you are tempted to think they will always be that way. "However . . ." Now is a time to firm up your affairs and make them strong enough so that they can weather turbulence and trouble which could come later on. Your energy level is high and your stress level is low, making it possible for you to accomplish this with minimal effort at this time. On the trine preceding your birthday, you should stop and review your recent achievements. Decide how you can use them to prepare for the future and what lasting value they can provide. Don't be complacent, for you will still have challenges to face. Also examine those matters which did not work out, salvaging those that may be worthwhile and discarding the others. Waste no energy on regrets. During the trine following your birthday, also, examine the projects that have worked out well in the last few months and prepare for a time in the near future when they will reach a critical culmination. Prepare yourself for their success. And for those that did not work out so well, decide which are worth saving and cut your losses by discarding the deadwood. Prepare to be firm, since discriminating between them may be difficult. The quiet pace of this trine aspect will assist and comfort you in these decisions. 
 
Oct 23, 1998     9 PM(Oct 23, 1998 to Oct 24, 1998)Ven Sxtil Asc 

TRANSITING VENUS SEXTILE THE NATAL ASCENDANT--This transit brings a very 
lighthearted time for enjoying yourself and relaxing with friends and loved ones. You are able to 
express your feelings of affection, and relationships are improved. It is a good time to meet new 
people, also. 
 
Oct 24, 1998     3 AM(Oct 23, 1998 to Oct 25, 1998) Sun Conj Jup 

TRANSITING SUN CONJUNCT NATAL JUPITER--This transit brings optimism and a 
positive outlook on life. You are likely to feel very good now--physically, mentally, emotionally 
and spiritually. You will want to include as much in your life now as you possibly can. You will 
be motivated to go after what you want, to expand your experiences, and learn about new things. This is a good time for personal growth and expansion, but not at the expense of others. You will have sufficient resources of your own and it is important that you assume responsibility for your own decisions. This aspect can provide an extremely positive experience with potential for future growth. 
 
Oct 24, 1998         (Oct 11, 1998 to Nov 6, 1998) Sat Sxtil Sun 

TRANSITING SATURN SEXTILE NATAL SUN--This transit is strongly related to the last 
conjunction of Saturn to the Sun, or of the last opposition, whichever preceded this in your 
charts. This sextile brings a breathing spell from the intensity of the former conjunction and eases 
up the pressure a little. It can bring you many opportunities for achievement. You can strengthen 
many areas of your life so that you can meet and handle adversity later. Of course, nothing comes without effort on your part, and you are responsible for making the decisions. You will need to take control and exercise care and responsibility. Pay attention to what others require of you and the commitments you have made to them. Recognition from others, especially from your superiors could come at this time. You should be able to work with more order and discipline, 
which makes it a good time to tackle some difficult projects you may have been putting off. Even your health and sense of well-being should be better now. 
 
Oct 25, 1998     1 AM(Oct 24, 1998 to Oct 26, 1998)Ven Trine Sun 

TRANSITING VENUS TRINE NATAL SUN--Trines are supportive and this is one of the most pleasant of all transits. It doesn't signify anything earth shattering, but is a good time for all kinds of enjoyable activity. In work you will feel a spirit of camaraderie and togetherness, making it go smoothly. However, pleasure and recreation are the highlights of this transit. It is a good time for personal and love relationships. If you feel the least bit ambitious, it is a good time for creative and craft projects, or for almost anything you may want to do. It could be a shame to waste this energy, but if you really don't want to work, just relax and enjoy. 
 
Oct 25, 1998     8 AM(Oct 24, 1998 to Oct 26, 1998) Ven Conj Jup 

TRANSITING VENUS CONJUNCT NATAL JUPITER--This transit combines the artistic and emotional influences of Venus with the expansive and "lucky" influences of Jupiter. It can make you feel optimistic, eager and outgoing--and warm and friendly to everyone. It is extremely good for all kinds of relationships, especially the love ones. It could bring financial "luck" in the way of a sudden windfall, though that is not the usual result. You may be tempted to indulge yourself, for self-discipline is low. You could also promise more than you can deliver, so caution is indicated. 
 
Oct 27, 1998    10 AM(Oct 26, 1998 to Oct 28, 1998)  Sun Conj MC 

TRANSITING SUN CONJUNCT THE NATAL MIDHEAVEN--This is an excellent aspect for putting all your attention and energy into getting ahead and fulfilling your ambitions. Your home life may take a back seat while this aspect is in transit, and you are likely to be strong-willed and unwilling to make compromises. Pursue your objectives, but try not to be so willful that you alienate others unnecessarily. 
 
Oct 27, 1998         (Oct 26, 1998 to Nov 17, 1998)  Sun 10th H. 

TRANSITING SUN IN THE TENTH HOUSE--When the Sun transits this house of your Natal chart, it will influence the departments of life most strongly affected by the individual will and power potential. Tenth house position generally indicates a time when you will be ambitious to attain positions of responsibility, power, and authority. You are likely to be rather dignified and you have a strong will to succeed. You will desire honor and recognition and will work hard to acquire the necessary knowledge and skills to achieve your goals. You are probably a good 
manager and demand respect. You also want to set a good example for others. You need to watch out for an excessive love of power and for dictatorial attitudes. 
 
Oct 27, 1998    11 PM(Oct 27, 1998 to Oct 28, 1998)  Ven Conj MC 

TRANSITING VENUS CONJUNCT THE NATAL MIDHEAVEN--Matters of love and 
affection are uppermost during this transit. You are conscious of your loved ones and your 
feelings for them. All personal relationships are favored by this aspect. Work in creative 
activities only. You are more likely to want to daydream than to work, unless your profession is 
related to artistic expression. A good time for any social activity, since you feel warm and 
friendly to everyone. Don't waste the day by yourself. 
 
Oct 27, 1998         (Oct 27, 1998 to Nov 14, 1998)  Ven 10th H. 

TRANSITING VENUS IN THE TENTH HOUSE--Venus transiting in the houses influences 
how you express yourself socially, artistically and romantically in the various areas of your life. 
Tenth house position may bring social and artistic ambitions. You will probably choose a 
profession related to the arts and are likely to have the talent to achieve recognition. You will do 
well in dealing with the opposite sex, and are likely to seek (or have already found) marriage 
with someone who can further your artistic career. You are likely to receive status and wealth 
from a romantic partner now. 
 
Oct 28, 1998     4 PM(Oct 27, 1998 to Oct 29, 1998)Sun Trine Moon 

TRANSITING SUN TRINE NATAL MOON--Like the sextile aspect, the trine brings a time of inner peace and balance. You have the serenity to look into yourself with a deeper understanding of what you want, what you need, and how you should go about getting it. Your approach to life is balanced, but you should study your personal life and prepare for a period of creative tension and pressures that are approaching a climax. You can live through your feelings as well as your intellect today, and you can communicate with others at both levels. You should examine your personal life and relationships and correct any difficulties and/or misunderstandings with others who may have created such difficulties or misunderstandings between you and them. If the last few months have been a period of breakdowns rather than creative experiences, you need to learn how to pick up the pieces and make a new start. Friendships and love relationships that start under this transit could have lasting consequences on your future life, and could have a strong effect on your attitudes toward life in general. 
 
Oct 28, 1998    11 PM(Oct 28, 1998 to Oct 29, 1998)Ven Trine Moon 

TRANSITING VENUS TRINE NATAL MOON--The trine is the most supportive of all transits, and this is no exception. It is a good transit for domestic, emotional and personal affairs. You will want to be warm and friendly to everyone you meet, and they can sense your sincerity. 
Loving influences strongly enhance sexual feelings now. It is a good time for dealing with 
groups of people as well as individuals. It is also a good time to decorate your home, have a 
party, or to just enjoy your home. 
 
Oct 29, 1998         (Oct 28, 1998 to Nov 12, 1998) Merc 11th H. 

TRANSITING MERCURY IN THE ELEVENTH HOUSE--Transiting Mercury in the houses 
deals with the practical affairs that occupy your mind and shows what areas of activity will be 
influenced by your thoughts and communications. In the eleventh house the focus is on 
communications and the exchange of ideas with friends and groups. You will seek out 
associations which will stimulate your mind, and you will both teach your friends and learn from 
them. You are open to all humanity, and are likely to have much compassion and insight into the 
larger social issues. You love truth, impartiality, and the ability to think with originality and 
objectivity. You need to take care that your ideas do not become eccentric or impractical during this transit. 
 
Oct 29, 1998    11 AM(Oct 28, 1998 to Oct 30, 1998)Merc Oppos Ven 

TRANSITING MERCURY OPPOSITE NATAL VENUS--This is a very light transit, and you may not feel it unless you expect it. It can produce some pleasant feelings, and your mind will 
tend to turn to lighter subjects. However, it is not a favorable time for accomplishing tasks that 
require discipline and strong mental applications. Personal relationships will be pleasant, and 
even disagreements can be worked out amicably now. Avoid inclinations to be overly 
self-indulgent. 
 
Nov 2, 1998      7 PM(Nov 2, 1998 to Nov 3, 1998)  Merc Conj Ura 

TRANSITING MERCURY CONJUNCT NATAL URANUS--This conjunction combines the mental and communicative influences of Mercury with the imaginative and urge for freedom 
influences of Uranus. It creates a fast tempo in your thinking and communicating. Intuition is 
also enhanced and your innovative faculties are stimulated. This can be overwhelming, so try to 
avoid jumping to conclusions. If the pace of thinking becomes too fast for you to handle, extreme nervousness could result. Try to slow down the metabolism, and moderate the urges and anxiety. If you can keep your feelings down to a manageable level, you can accomplish much during this time. Utilize prayer and meditation to seek tranquility. 
 
Nov 7, 1998          (Aug 23, 1998 to Dec 11, 1998)Ura Trine Merc 

TRANSITING URANUS TRINE NATAL MERCURY--Trine aspects are supportive. This 
transit can produce new interest and excitement in everyday life without pushing it until you can't 
enjoy it. It stimulates mental activity so that the world around you also becomes more interesting. It is an excellent time for learning new skills, particularly of a technical or scientific nature. 
Conversation with friends can introduce new ideas and new means of communicating. It is a 
good time to announce anything new to the world, or to introduce a new product, if you are in the business world. 
 
Nov 12, 1998         (Oct 30, 1998 to Nov 28, 1998)Sat Trine Asc 

TRANSITING SATURN TRINE NATAL ASCENDANT--This aspect indicates that you have reached a time in your life when your actions and behavior toward others are reliable and 
consistent. It could be a time when you establish yourself with respect to the rest of the people. 
The only problem may be difficulty in making necessary changes. You may think in terms of old 
solutions to new problems when instead, you need to develop flexibility. You will be concerned 
with career and you are willing to gain experience as well as help from others to further your 
ambition. You may very much want to be self-sufficient, but do not close yourself off from new 
people. A person, possibly older, can come into your life or surface at this time and serve as a 
guide or teacher--though this person may not appear to fit the role, and you may not recognize it until later. 
 
Nov 18, 1998         (Aug 17, 1998 to Dec 16, 1998)Ura Trine Mars 

TRANSITING URANUS TRINE NATAL MARS--This transit will show you and others new 
sides of yourself that you have not been able to express before, especially if you have been a shy and retiring sort of person. During this time others will notice that you are able to break out of 
your old habits and do things that you would normally not try. Uranus shows you new ways of 
doing things, and Mars provides the energy and courage to express yourself as never before. 
Together they will help you develop new and stronger confidence in yourself. You could get 
involved with some kind of freedom movement now to help others realize more freedom, for you will remember how difficult it has been for you to buck the traditions. Whatever you attempt 
during this transit, it will have to allow you to be yourself, and to utilize your new-found courage 
and self-confidence. You can work well with others only if they will recognize that. You could 
be very content to go your own way, but this aspect provides too much of an opportunity for 
expanding the greater good of all for you to choose to go it completely alone.
