Zodiac Signs on the Ascendant and MC, and the Ascendant Ruler

The zodiac signs on the Ascendant and MC, and the house position of the Ascendant ruler at the time of the Lunar return are described below. Your social and career opportunities for the coming month are influenced by these signs and house placement.

Lunar Return Ascendant Cancer :

      PAY ATTENTION TO THE INNER YOU
      TAKE CARE OF OTHERS

    You will exhibit very sensitive characteristics, who retreats very quickly to your own little world when feeling threatened emotionally. You are psychic and receptive to everything in your environment, and feel things on a deeper level than most other persons. Your responses to life situations are emotional rather than intellectual which can have mixed results. Moods will change like the incoming and outgoing tide, and just as often. A career that brings you into contact with the masses would be an excellent career choice for you this month.

    Making extreme changes in your life or going away from your base of operations which you consider safe and secure is detrimental to your well being, because you are such a homebody. You keep a tight grip on people, possessions, memories and sentimental objects. Your home and domestic security is significantly important to you, and you run on pure "instinct". There is potential for difficult relationships and partnerships this month, and can be with people who are older than you that represent authority figures to you. No doubt you will want to spend your time and energy closer to the home front this month. Cancer is ruled by the moon, which implies strong nurturing instincts, and more time may be spent caring for or being sympathetic to others.

    You will be more adept at culinary skills, and design or architectural ability. Retaining water will be more of a problem this month, as well as emotions of the addictive kind which can lead to weight gains or addictive substances of any kind. Health wise the breasts, stomach and digestive system are your most vulnerable areas this month.

    In connection to other people in your environment you are very loyal, protective, supportive, loving, compassionate, softhearted and sympathetic to their needs. People will seek you out in a time of crisis because they know you will understand and provide help if at all possible. Perhaps they know you are just a good listener.

    You will never forget the thoughtful or thoughtless, kind or unkind things that are said and done to you. You may forgive them, but never forget any injustice.

    Mood wise, you drive people crazy with your open methods of communication or your withdrawn nature that keeps in touch through thought waves that others are supposed to understand, and sometimes do. Remember  you are the only ones communicating non-verbally here! If you weren't moody before, you can easily be introduced to it this month. Look to the house where the MOON is located to see where your emotional needs are, and can be met.

Ascendant is in Cancer,Cancer Decanate

    Ruled by the Moon,  your reactions to the world around you come from subconscious areas rather than conscious ones. You may develop an uneasy feeling that you don't belong or fit in with others in your environment. You do have a great receptivity to your surroundings and probably possess a very intuitive or psychic ability. Try not to respond with your emotions to impressions or feelings. Positive qualities are a gentle and kind nature, with a love for domestic matters and benevolence to your fellow man.

Ruler of Ascendant in 11th house

    With the Lunar Ascendant Ruler in the Lunar 11th house, social and intellectual security takes on a greater prominence. You will look for acceptance in life with people around you in group and personal situations. The 11th house represents friends, social groups, and societies, and it also represents the affection that you need from others to feel important.

Lunar Return MC Pisces:

    Since this is the most "visible" part of the Lunar chart, it represents how you are actually seen in the world by others. It represents your more outward or public face and where you are likely to encounter success, and your reputation in the world. Your goals push you towards being very easy going and perhaps a bit on the lazy side. Affectionate, ultra-sensitive and sympathetic to the plight of others with a seeming weak nature rather than a strong exterior. You seek the advice of everyone, and then do what you want anyway. You will be very psychic and intuitive, but in a negative way, never seeing the good in anything. You are secretive, unrealistic, sentimental, a true romantic and dreamer. There will be a strong attachment to music and you may have a career in it. There will be times when you prefer to be alone rather than be with others.

    With Pisces on the Midheaven this month, you must be very careful to avoid any kind of scandal that leads to public disgrace. You may have more of an interest in visiting or being around water, and careers centered around religion, the theater, dance, the arts, any boating industries, working with the disabled, underprivileged and minority groups. At some point, you are likely to have a bout of depression, mental and emotional problems or secret difficulties through authority figures, father figures or issues of self worth. Pisces can also have problems with addictions to drugs or alcohol to contend with.

    You will be more passive rather than aggressive and would prefer to stop, wait, watch and observe than to take active participation in anything. You would rather things happen the way they are going to rather than interfere. Your belief structure in religious or spiritual matters is beyond the norm and deals on a one to one basis with the universe. The environment you live in must be peaceful so that you can feel at home with it, otherwise your emotions become strung out and unbalanced. Compassion for all things around you no matter what state they may be in is immense whether animal, vegetable or human. you can be of great service to the world through your compassion, spiritual beliefs and humanitarian efforts.

    Your perceptions lie in the realm of imagination and fantasy and is a place where you can easily escape to when life gets you down. You draw people in to you like a magnet, especially those in need knowing that they will find a sympathetic soul to connect with. Yes, even those who take unfair advantage of you or don't know when it is time to face life on their own to fumble and find their own way. You see the frailties in all people and are often making excuses for their weaknesses. You will not follow rational and logical approaches towards everyday life and should anyone be foolish enough to argue with you, they will have to find the cloud that you live on to have any impact whatsoever.

    You make observations with your heart and not your head which leaves others in your environment very confused to say the least. You perceive people in psychic and telepathic ways that others cannot easily understand.

              Zodiac Signs on the Other House Cusps

The zodiac signs on the other house cusps affect your attitude to many areas of your life, and have a significant impact on what kinds of opportunities and challenges will present themselves in the coming month.

Cancer on 2nd cusp:

     Cancer on the second house of money indicates that you are protective of your financial assets and possessions. You won't be over extravagant with your finances, except perhaps when it involves matters of the home and family. You will be very intuitive and instinctive as to other peoples needs. You can naturally make your money from some form of commerce, perhaps related to the public. Look to the house that contains the moon to find out more about where the source of your income can come from. Leo on 3rd cusp:

     With Leo on the cusp of the third house of communication and learning, there is a creative flow to your life. You have an added ability to present your ideas as your communication skills are heightened. You may enjoy telling stories to anyone who will listen, with a flair for exaggeration, just to make the story more interesting, and humorous. You seem to know what to say, and what not to say, and.... when to say it. Unfortunately your ideas are fixed in nature, so trying to get you to accept something new will be quite difficult. Hurt feelings, whether it is family and friends or others in your immediate environment, will be forgiven....., maybe! Look to the house where the Sun is located to see where your interests can be found.

Virgo on 4th cusp:

     With Virgo on the fourth house of the home, family, roots, real estate, property and security,  you will become fuss budgets, critical about everything, and drive everyone crazy. You will find every little thing and then some to nag others over no matter how meaningless it really is. Everything will have to be in its proper place, sterilized to death. Perfectionism is the torch you carry, and everyone will run when they see you coming. Working in the home is a key issue here, with your office immaculate, desk organized and waste paper basket emptied even if there is nothing in it. The home and its management will be intellectualized, computerized and operating room clean. Can you be the person that covers your furniture in plastic to keep it clean? Look to the house where Mercury is located to see where your home security can be found.

Libra on 5th cusp:

    You have Libra on the fifth house of Children, recreation, romance, creativity, artistic abilities, hobbies, writing books (creatively), speculation and investments. You need a creative outlet to be ultimately happy. Constant support and encouragement can have you soaring to new heights creatively. The company that you keep or associate with will have to be more refined, where you can have intellectual conversations, party and even play sports. Since this is such an artistic energy, any involvement in the arts, music or love (although fickle) will be fortunate. You will have an increase in childlike qualities that should make for very endearing relationships. Look to the house where Venus is located to see where you might find your recreation and romance potential.

Scorpio on 6th cusp:

     You have Scorpio on the cusp of the sixth house of Work, Work environment, responsibilities, health, work and service for others, relationships with employees and co-workers, and your interest in physical fitness. You are very serious, compulsive, passionate and obsessive about health, work and diet. Work in fields that allow you to research, or dig for answers, science or psychology. Health problems that develop are likely connected with being worn out through over-working your sensitive nervous system. Patience is not your forte, and it will be difficult for you to get along in close quarters at work, or  with co-workers especially when they don't do their share of the work. Look to the house where Mars/Pluto is located to see where you might find work or service to others.

Capricorn on 7th cusp:

     Relationships, partnerships, marriage, people you have close associations with, cooperation or lack of, contracts, and legal matters are all part of the seventh house, with Capricorn located here. You will be rather cool, calm, collected, reserved and shy, and marriage for status and security is a possibility with Capricorn here. It is more than likely that any permanent commitment here will be after a long courtship, as this placement does not signify an impulsive coupling. One or both of you may feel very restricted in any relationship, perhaps having to take responsibility for someone. You will be very supportive of others and could sense their needs with a minimum of emotional contact. Look to the house that contains Saturn to see how you will deal with partnerships.

Capricorn on 8th cusp:

    The eighth house deals with joint resources. Possessions that are not earned directly by you, but obtained through the relationship, wills, or pensions. It also has to do with money belonging to others such as taxes, corporate money, insurance, and the stock market. The eighth house also relates to the mysteries of life and sex. Capricorn will have an influence on the above matters by adding a great deal of responsibility in financial matters without accumulating debt in the process. Even when faced with the responsibility of having to deal with other peoples money, you take great pride in doing so, honestly and above reproach. Look to see which house Saturn is located in, to see where your joint money can be found.

Aquarius on 9th cusp:

    The ninth house is the house of long range goals and long distance travel. Religion, philosophy and higher education are ninth house matters. With Aquarius ruling the ninth house, you will be an unusual and free thinker, and your friends will more than likely be involved in the above matters. Your thinking will be very unorthodox, breaking free from conventional methods, and somehow be very advanced or new age. Look to the house where Uranus is located to see where your interests in higher aspirations can be found.

Aries on 11th cusp:

     The eleventh house has domain over achievement of goals and objectives, and hopes and wishes. Humanitarian efforts, clubs, groups, associations, sharing ideals are also associated with the eleventh house. People that support your efforts, friends and connections to the outside world can be found in this house. With Aries located in the eleventh house, the focus relationship turns to attracting friends that may or may not be long lasting, keeping your emotional distances. Social endeavors are your strength, and friends can help you reach your goals. Look to the house where Mars is located to see where you might find your friends, associations and group involvements and interests. Taurus on 12th cusp:

     The twelfth house rules the subconscious mind, problems arising from unseen causes, and limitations in our lives. This house has rulership over behind the scenes activities, emotional problems, secrets, deceptions, problems to overcome, the side of ourselves away from public view, where the soul can step back and take a look at the world around us. The twelfth house also has rulership over prisons, hospitals, and other institutions that would remove you from society. Taurus energy on the twelfth house  indicates that you worry about financial matters that make you feel insecure, filling your lives with subconscious fears. Look to the house where Venus is located to find that area in which you retire from public view.

                             The Sun

The placement of the Sun in the Lunar return chart is very important and affects almost every area of your life!

Lunar Return Sun in 9th house:

    The Lunar Sun is now in your 9th house. But what does the position of the Lunar Sun mean to you and how will it affect your life this month?

    Travel, meeting new people who are somehow foreign or different from those you are used to meeting, new interests in studies or knowledge, hobbies, metaphysical subjects, spiritual endeavors and legal matters (as outcomes) come under the rays of the Lunar Sun this month. Look at the aspects to the Lunar Sun this month to see what you can accomplish.

Sun sextile Moon:

    The creative juices are flowing this month! What can you use that creativity on? Let your mind go free and experience something perhaps for the first time. Relationships are likely to include more Cancer, Scorpio or Pisces (water sign people).

    Don't be so easygoing this month that people take advantage of you unless you want them to, that is the only real danger this here. Romance and Real Estate matters are also favored.

    Satisfaction with working conditions allows a better product to be produced and a more traditional type of entertainment will prove more satisfying to you in your off time.

Sun semisextile Jupiter:

    People in high places can be generous to your cause, but remember that sincerity always works best when approaching others. Good fortune may come knocking, so make sure you open the door! Health matters are doing much better during this month as well. It is possible that at this time there will be more contacts with Sagittarians or people with those qualities.

    Money may suddenly appear from somewhere this month, so enjoy the gift. Hopes and wishes can be granted to you perhaps just when you needed it, but remember to share your good fortune with others. You may become involved in a romance with someone "foreign" to your ideals with good results. Recognition may also come for work or things done in the past.

Sun sextile Saturn:

    Long lasting commitments and responsibilities are favorable. Buy a new car for endurance and to insure a long lasting investment this month. You may find someone from your past coming back into your life this month as well, or find that relationships that have experienced disagreements or breakups can suddenly begin again on another level. It is more than likely there will be more Capricorn contacts at this time, but they can be more congenial than at other times.

    Long range goals become important and this month favors the favorable outcome for legal matters. Art forms are likely to have a much more structured appearance. This month favors politics, executives and business. Have faith in yourself to reach your goals. Perhaps this is the month to face the fact that you need to seek the advice or counsel of an attorney to take you out of unpleasant situations, but with great reluctance.

Sun semisextile Neptune:

    Job hunting prospects look good and humanitarian projects are emphasized this month. Intense and powerful experiences will find you and investigation and study unto the unknown will be very revealing. Contacts this month will include more Pisces personalities than normal, and be in complete harmony.

    Perceptions are stronger than usual this month, so please pay attention to the insights that come to you. Remember to forgive others when they do you wrong, and be merciful to others. Meditation and Spiritual Development can begin at this time and spiritual values should be shared with others.

    The intuitive mind can influence the thinking process, and this is sure to be a very spacey type of month. Kindness and generosity can easily be bestowed on others. You have the ability to visualize past experiences and analyze them. This is a very favorable month for meditation and self development.

    A great month to do any chores or take a vacation, but try to avoid any laziness that is sure to find you. Ideal loves are in the picture so go find them or perhaps they will find you. Long journeys are favored.

Sun conjunction MC:

    A strong will is present. Alienating others can be very easy if you aren't careful and attention can come to you from the public in some way. Tremendous influences will be imposed on your life. Professional and political changes can take place, and the outlook is favorable. Social and romantic possibilities can come to you through your profession.

                            The Moon

The placement of the Moon in the Lunar return chart affects emotions, moods, domestic affairs and relationships with women during the coming month.

Lunar Return Moon in 11th house:

    The Lunar Moon is now in your 11th house. The Lunar Moon rules your emotional needs and the specific houses show where your needs will lie and be met for the next month.

    Hopes and wishes, friendships and goals take on emotional importance and emotional determination sees us forward to those goals. Time spent with friends is a wonderful outlet for personal thoughts and feelings as we have a deeper appreciation for friends in our environment this month. You may even form some new friendships or bonds that are emotionally satisfying. Emotionally we will support and protect friends moreso than other times and if they are in need, we are right there for them. We can be easily hurt though if those same feelings are not reciprocated or appreciated by others. Avoid being possessive, as this can drive people away rather than draw them nearer. If the Lunar Moon makes stressful aspects while in the 11th house, there can be some friendships or associations with groups that become stressed.

Moon semisquare Mercury:

    Communication will be difficult this month so delay them as much as possible, and for a more auspicious time. There will be an increased interest in people and their inner motivations, feelings, personal lives and experiences. This is a bad time for buying anything, because your EMOTIONS will rule what you buy.

Moon semisextile Jupiter:

    This month is auspicious for the granting of favors. Should you have items to sell this short month will support it. Speeches are better received by the public and you might experience an urge to expand or enlarge your environment with a desire for possessions, satisfaction, harmony, justice, social sense and moral aspirations. People will see you as happy, generous and helpful bringing popularity to yourself.

Moon conjunction Saturn:

    Relating to women can be difficult this month because self confidence and emotional reinforcement are lacking. You will find that women are very cool, calm and collected and not supportive to your emotional needs.

Moon square Neptune:

    Confusion and delusions can cloud your sense of reality this month, and self destructive behavior should be excluded from your environment. Allow more time to pray or meditate. During this month it would be best to refrain from using any form of drugs or alcohol. You will find that your psychic impressions and ESP can be out of whack temporarily. There can be some overwhelming obsession to someone, perhaps a Pisces person.

Moon sextile MC:

    Meeting new women in your environment can have a very positive effect on you this month and success will be found dealing with the public. You have the ability to make changes in your life at this time, should you have the desire to do so.

                             Mercury

The placement of Mercury in the Lunar return chart affects communication, and your ability to learn and express yourself during the coming month.

Lunar Return Mercury in 10th house:

    Mercury is in your 10th house, and indicates areas of interests in your life this month, as well as health matters or where your thoughts are likely to be focused.

    The emphasis will be on trying to get promotions, recognition or appreciation for efforts of the past. Advertising and contract negotiations work out well and finishing paperwork and working on endless forms are part of this position as well. If Mercury makes a stressful aspect while in the 10th house, there can be misunderstandings or disagreements with authority figures, or unfavorable publicity that is released about you.

Mercury SemiSquare Saturn:

    If you are involved in sales, they may not be up to par and it might be best to reschedule clients. Dragging the past into your life this month won't help matters, so leave them in the past. Keep things on a strictly legal basis and keep business strictly business this month.

    Communication problems can leave you alienated from others, and lost mail or delays in deliveries can be expected. People will say what is on their mind this month and you will not take criticism very well.

    Negativity and mistrust surround you this month and ill health and problems with bones, teeth, constipation, aches, pains, colds and flu can develop. Energy levels and vitality will be very low as well. This is not good time for legal matters.

Mercury Semisextile Uranus:

    Unexpected communications can come and original thinking on your part can develop into wonderful projects. There can be many short trips or a friend may call and invite you to dinner. Dreams can bring new insights into problems and new areas of life.

    The mind becomes very curious about all kinds of things, the more way out the concept, the better you will like it. Should you be learning something new, you will pick up the subject at hand with great ease.

    Sudden intuitive insights can present marvelous solutions and sudden good news can arrive that takes you completely by surprise. Unexpected short trips that prove to be profitable or information received can be quite different and unusual to some degree. Phone lines can get real fuzzy and spontaneous reactions to situations is highly probable this month.

    This month favors the opening of formerly unopened doors and breaking the chains that bind you. Creative sparks that occur this month should prove very exciting.

Mercury square Pluto:

    A danger of this month is forcing your point of views on others, or just coming on too strong with your opinions. If you handle it diplomatically however, you can enlighten people around you with your views that shed light on an issue. Compulsive thinking this month can cause confusion and a serious frame of mind. This is a difficult time for business and no contracts or agreements should be formulated.

    Conditions are right for fraudulent misrepresentations and the possibility for THEFTS or misunderstandings is very high. This is a good time to avoid people trying to sell you anything over the phone. News concerning the death or end of a project, business or financial agreement or arrangement can occur.

Mercury trine Asc.:

    The mind is quick, alert and alive this month and agreements can be formulated in disputes. The phone may never stop ringing and communications with your fellow man or woman will be easy, harmonious and lively. Health, diet, writing and self expression are favored.

                              Venus

The placement of Venus in the Lunar return chart affects romance and friendship over the coming month.

Lunar Return Venus in 10th house:

    Venus is in your 10th house this month. Venus is the Goddess of  love and where you might find it and money matters and how you will handle it or what you might spend money on.

    Business matters, your profession and career are highlighted. Redecorate the office, buy artwork, or new love relations with older people can be found at the workplace. Success is highlighted with the opposite sex and people who are in authority will be very receptive to your ideas and can be beneficial in rendering support to your cause. The boss might be looking pretty good right now and a little love adventure is possible. If Venus makes a harsh aspect while in the 10th house, you might be tempted to use your status to gain favors both materially and sexually from others.

Venus conjunction Jupiter:

    This is an excellent influence for music, artistic endeavors or a romantic evening. Schedules will move along quite well this month and spending sprees can be a source of joy. Last minute rescues from touchy situations can occur and you may find that lady luck has some surprises in store for you.

    Good feelings surround you, let them spill onto others. This is a natural position for love, money, friends and experiences when the power of magnetism is yours. Traveling for pleasure will be most rewarding and you may meet someone very exciting on this trip in the romance department and this person may be quite different from yourself.

Venus Semisextile Saturn:

    Pending deals can this month be finalized with profits this month and you will be more cautious than usual in your dealings with others. Benefits can come through older people and in your daily routine, use old business standards rather than employing new ones. Progress in financial dealings is an important outcome of this time period.

    New love relationships started will be with someone much younger or older than yourself and you will be more willing to make sacrifices for the sake of others as well and you will take your duties and responsibilities to others very seriously.

    A positive side of  this energy is the ability to purchase items from a standpoint of only what you need and let the luxuries of life wait until another time. Balance the books and budget your funds to keep your life in check. You are able to be more controlled in your affections, putting your emotions on hold.

Venus SemiSquare Uranus:

    Vacation plans can go right out the window this month and sudden and upsetting circumstances can bring separations from loved ones. Contracts and agreements can easily be broken, or you can be attracted to weird things in life, although they may not be necessarily good for you. Love adventures that start this month are likely to end as soon as the month ends. Don't try to convince people to make changes, they might not react too well to it.

    Relationships will be very disruptive as some moody characteristics can emerge. Repressed emotions, unfaithfulness, bohemian attitudes, a lack of direction and impulse spending are effects of this month. This is an unfavorable time for trying out new ideas or products. Avoid any risks in love and friendships, so learn to take your time in relationships, don't get carried away.

                              Mars

The placement of Mars in the Lunar return chart affects your drive, ambition, and vitality during the coming month.

Lunar Return Mars in 5th house:

    Mars is in your 5th house this month. Mars is the planet of intense activity and the house it occupies by placement shows where that activity will take place. Mars is aggressive and can be quite selfish in its needs and desires, so be careful how you utilize this tremendous energy.

    Sex and lovemaking energy is very high this month and the potential for accident is present for yourself and children. Children may require more than normal attention now and be careful that family members are not neglected.

    Gambling and speculative ventures are not favored as a certain discipline will be lacking in your life. Sexual jealousy or frustrations are possible, so try to take the "edge" off by engaging in dancing or physical activity. You can be somewhat crude or invite physical harm to yourself now, or on the other hand you may get involved in a sudden and impulsive love relationship.

    If Mars makes a difficult aspect while in the 5th house, then your behavior can be characterized as undisciplined to say the least, especially in social situations. There is also a tendency to choose entertainment that is exciting, or watch horror or action movies now.

Mars square Uranus:

    You will find that projects you are working on or activities STOP temporarily and your health may not be at its best. Have you been overdoing it physically? An Illness is a strong possibility now, arriving quite suddenly to remind us that we are human and we need a break

    Explosive situations can easily get out of control this month, and changes will seem to be imposed on you rather than chosen. Be aware that freak accidents are very possible.

    An influence of this energy is one of being enveloped in a cloud of constant negativity and you may find yourself just trying to get a break from yourself. Money becomes nonexistent, but like all things there is a positive side. It forces you to finish tasks that you have been working on and bring them to a successful conclusion. Once this month ends, then everything goes back to normal, whatever normal is.

    Expect nervous tension and an irritable nature to be your friend for now, so spend some time by yourself and avoid getting into tiffs with close friends and associates.

    You will be very erratic in your actions for no apparent reason. Avoid working on or near electrical equipment, wiring, appliances, machinery, sharp tools, fireworks or automobiles until after this month passes. Do not give into the peer pressure that dares you to do something out of the ordinary. If this situation does arise, you might want to consider new friends. Your behavior might cause separations or permanent breakups of relationships, friends and family.

Mars square Neptune:

    You may discover that you have been betrayed by someone very dear to you this month, as deceptions can be found at the highest levels of work, government or domestic life. Getting the truth from others is not promising, and avoid potential hazards to your health or well being by using care in what you do.

    It is likely that you will be easily discouraged in your attempts to succeed and find your vitality is on the low side. Avoid wasted and destructive energies, impulsive actions, failures, misuse and abuse of others, criminal behavior and infections which are all side effects. Remember, your ENERGY LEVELS WILL BE NON-EXISTENT.

    Keep away from drugs or drinking because they will react adversely on your body and misunderstandings with others will be easy to come by, you won't have to go looking for them, they will find you.

    Confusion and chaotic conditions can easily arrive in your life now and new ventures or business should wait until the fog you call a mind clears. Dangerous conditions CAN exist around areas where escaping gas, toxic chemical or fumes, flammable liquids and gases are stored or located.

Mars Semisextile Pluto:

    Encounters open a wider circle of colleagues to you this month and renewed commitments of love can be undertaken. Insights into love can occur that are quite profound and strong attractions to the opposite sex will be felt. Marital relations can find their beginning now, and if at all possible, give flowers to someone special. True love can be found somewhere close by you, and remember that "Love will conquer all" is the theme of this influence. Those of sad heart will be much happier than in the past this month.

    Thus is a time of sexual stimulation which should be quite exciting and there will be a greater tolerance for others and is a virtue which should be exercised at every opportunity. Your social life will pick up and you may have the urge to invite people over for a party. Secret loves can easily develop and existing relationships will rise to a higher level of understanding.

Mars trine Asc.:

    You might be experiencing a lucky streak of sorts right this month, but Lunar Return Venus doesn't bring you the big bucks, so don't overdo it. A new love relationship may begin and all will go smoothly in matters of love.

Mars trine MC:

    This is a great month for work in the mental or intellectual areas. Any task that requires careful thinking will be of great benefit to you now. This is not a favorable time for hot and heavy negotiations, but it is an excellent one for any physical activities. Repairs needed around the home can be accomplished with ease.

                             Jupiter

The placement of Jupiter in the Lunar return chart determines in what areas of your life you are likely to have opportunities for growth and expansion during the coming month.

Boy, talk about tests in what you believe. Your health is very vulnerable to hidden conditions, so take care of yourself. Deceptions are at all time high, so don't let it find you now.

    Avoid drinking or smoking because the body will be more vulnerable to them than usual. You've heard the expression you are your own worst enemy haven't you? Well, this is the influence that started it!

Expect Neptune to put you through many changes of perceptions and your views or reality will be altered several times as well.

       LUNAR RETURN DATE: March 20, 1999 at 3:29:56 AM GMT

  Zodiac Signs on the Ascendant and MC, and the Ascendant Ruler

The zodiac signs on the Ascendant and MC, and the house position of the Ascendant ruler at the time of the Lunar return are described below. Your social and career opportunities for the coming month are influenced by these signs and house placement.

Lunar Return Ascendant Libra :

     SPREAD LOVE AND HAPPINESS, DECORATE,
     WORK IN PEACE AND HARMONY

    You will require peace and harmony away from the maddening crowds this month. You will have a flair for artistic and creative projects and can talk up a storm. Indecisions will fluctuate from "yes" to "no" to "I don't know", and all within the same breath, the more time you spend thinking about the best course to take in any situation. Legal careers are a nice compliment to your temperament, with the ability to see both sides of a situation while remaining unbiased.

    Since you  have wonderful sense of colors, decorating, painting, drawing or any field that allows you to match patterns with surroundings would be good for you to experiment in. Diplomacy is a natural state of mind as well, and you are endowed with good reasoning abilities and more tolerant natures than most other persons.

    Abundant energy, success-oriented and putting your best foot forward for the world to see are important for you this month. You become more charming and polite, but may come across as insincere. There will be much more of an interest in books, music, art and photography (taking pictures as well as posing) as Libra is ruled by Venus, planet of sensuality and beauty. It will not be hard to see from this that physical attractiveness will be much more important to you this month. There is much more of an emphasis on personal luxuries, comforts, dressing well and cosmetics and beauty aids (for the ladies) and retaining your youth in some way. On the negative side, Librans can also be somewhat shy, rude or altogether antisocial, with a total disregard for appearance. Health wise, there is apt to be a lack of energy and ailments that are the direct result from dietary habits, sweets being the biggest culprit.

    Relationships that are not harmonious with a sense of cooperation and above all becoming friends can really mess up your internal wiring. Approval and recognition from  others for work well done is a necessity for balancing your life. You are a natural at giving of yourself and when unappreciated you wilt like a flower that has been stepped on.

    Marriage is very important to you, but you must look before you leap into it because you have the tendency to marry very quickly especially this month, and suffer the consequences of your impatient quest until you can bear it no longer. You put your friendly and enchanting face forward in a non-aggressive manner and you would much rather make peace with people in an agreeable way which is your approach to win people over to your side. Look to the house where VENUS is located to see where you need to COOPERATE and be in HARMONY with others this month.

            Ascendant is in Libra, Aquarius Decanate

    Ruled by the planet Uranus,  you have a strong intellect and are governed by reason than emotions. Take a project and systematically make it work because that is your strong suit. Kindness and sympathy for people around you are very positive traits, and should be utilized at every opportunity to bring success back to you. Caution carried to extremes promotes inaction, which is a danger as well.

Ruler of Ascendant in 7th house

    With the Lunar Ascendant Ruler in the Lunar 7th house your social identity will become very important. This house represents your partnerships both romantic and platonic, contractual obligations with others, and open enemies. The 7th house represents a stronger emphasis on one-to-one relationships.

Lunar Return MC Cancer:

    Since this is the most "visible" part of the Lunar chart, it represents how you are actually seen in the world by others. It represents your more outward or public face and where you are likely to encounter success, and your reputation in the world. Your goals will exhibit very sensitive characteristics, retreating when feeling threatened emotionally. You are psychic and receptive to everything in your environment, and feel things on a deeper level than most other people. Your responses to life situations are emotional rather than intellectual which can have mixed results. Moods change like the incoming and outgoing tide, and just as often. A career that brings you into contact with the masses would be an excellent career choice.

    Cancer on the Midheaven this month needs to be the center of attention, or you can be more famous for some reason this month. Giving lectures, sermons, political aspirations or becoming a public figure is favored. Closer relationships with parents and people in authority is also highlighted for you this month. In career matters, interests related to women, children, housing or food will be more appealing.

    Making extreme changes in your life or going away from your base of operations which you consider safe and secure is detrimental to your well being. You keep a tight grip on people, possessions, memories or sentimental objects. Your home and domestic security is very significant to you and you run on pure "instinct".

    In connection to other people in your environment you are very loyal, protective, supportive, loving, compassionate, softhearted and sympathetic to their needs. People seek you out in a time of crisis because they know you will understand and provide help if at all possible. Perhaps they know you are just a good listener. You will never forget the thoughtful or thoughtless, kind or unkind things that are said and done to you. You may forgive them, but never forget any injustice.

    Mood wise, you drive people crazy with your open methods of communication or your withdrawn nature that keeps in touch through thought waves that others are supposed to understand, and sometimes do.

    Mercury is in your 6th house, and indicates areas of interests in your life this month, as well as health matters or where your thoughts are likely to be focused.

    A wonderful month for mental work but a difficult month for criticism both to and from others. Expect a fragile nervous system and a bout of anxiety. Health and hygiene concerns are highlighted, and new diets can start now and be effective. If Mercury makes a harsh aspect while in the 6th house there can be concerns over health matters with family, neighbors or associates. Nerves can become frazzled or an illness can take place as well as probable interferenceÆs in communications with co-workers or the boss. Be on guard for hazards around the workplace that may affect your health, or taking on of additional duties that stresses you causing an illness.

Mercury Sesquiquadrate Mars:

    This is an excellent time to adopt a wait and see attitude before considering any actions as you can easily get yourself into situations you may regret later. Phone calls that arrive this month may be a cry for help, but weigh all of the possibilities very carefully. From this energy comes the expression "When in doubt, Don't!"

    Heated emotional arguments can easily erupt this month, so think twice before you speak. Situations requiring quick thinking should be avoided because the impulsive side of your nature is out of whack with the thought process. Control those outbursts before they get you into trouble. Accident potential is rated very high this month so use caution in travel.

    Competing with others for attention can easily cause quarrels and ego disputes with others. Expect sarcasm from other people around you as the mind is strained and frustrations can lead to physical repercussions. This month is also favorable for infections, fevers and colds.

Mercury SemiSquare Uranus:

    Trying to reach people this month may be an exercise in futility, or increases in communications with verbal confrontations that can get out of control or get carried away due to your own impatience. Hasty words or intolerance of others over apparent stupidity on someones part, of which you are partially to blame. This will not be a dull time for you, as sudden events can occur that increase your workload and appointments dramatically as well, leaving you scattering to tie up all of the loose ends or do some quick reorganizing of priorities.

    Disappointments are to be expected and quite suddenly and the people you deal with either personally or in business will prove to be unreliable. This is an unfavorable time to make any decisions about money, whether it is joint financial ventures, insurance, investment, taxes or corporate funds.

    Plans will have a tendency to go haywire now, and legal technicalities can prove upsetting and costly. Don't rush projects, let them go along at their own pace. Be careful going up or down anything that can cause you injury. URANUS has a lot to do with Explosions or electrical problems, or problems that arise without warning. Remember that if you make a promise to someone, keep it!

Mercury trine MC:

    This is a good time to go looking for real estate, pay bills, or pay attention to all details and balance the checkbook. Your heart and mind will be more in harmony and activities that take place in the home are fortunate. Public relation matters can prosper and domestic and professional matters go well.

                              Venus

The placement of Venus in the Lunar return chart affects romance and friendship over the coming month.

Lunar Return Venus in 7th house:

    Venus is in your 7th house this month. Venus is the Goddess of  love and where you might find it and money matters and how you will handle it or what you might spend money on.

    A favorable month for marriage, affection, new love relationships with commitment, close friendships, business, feeling attractive and dealings with women. Social life picks up again and expressions of affection come very easily. If you are looking for a wedding day, try to find one that takes place during this month. If Venus makes a harsh aspect while in the 7th house, relationships will be taken for granted or spend too much time in social surroundings.

Venus conjunction Saturn:

    Deep commitments to love is this month possible, and can bring past loves back into your life. Possible throat problems can develop that need some kind of attention or women may experience late menstrual cycles which is also a side effect of this influence.

    Lower back aches and kidney problems can develop, so make sure to increase your water intake to keep your kidneys working correctly. Selfish concerns for your own welfare is an issue that you must take responsibility for.

    Remembering past joys can be a source of sadness if you haven't learned to let go and there can be a need for emotional and financial security can develop giving a boost to selfishness. There is a danger that loneliness can occur, but if you use it wisely to get in touch with who you are and what you expect from others and you might be pleasantly surprised. Limited finances can leave you stranded and broke.

Venus square Neptune:

    Be alert to possible deceptive practices in any dealings or romantic encounters this month and be especially careful of what you wish for this month, you just might get it and then you have to deal with it. This is a very vulnerable time for romance or emotions so do not make permanent commitments to others.

    Relationships can easily break up under this influence. Watch out for Con Men, you may not see them coming. Meetings and appointments with women can be cancelled because of an illness and escapism through alcohol and drugs should be avoided, when they are the most adverse to the body. Get rich schemes will not go your way and most likely fail.

                              Mars

The placement of Mars in the Lunar return chart affects your drive, ambition, and vitality during the coming month.

Lunar Return Mars in 1st house:

    Mars is in your 1st house this month. Mars is the planet of intense activity and the house it occupies by placement shows where that activity will take place. Mars is aggressive and can be quite selfish in its needs and desires, so be careful how you utilize this tremendous energy.

    A fighting and very aggressive spirit will demand to be heard now and fighting for your rights, hard work and accidents are highlighted. You are bound to be a bit pithy if things don't happen fast enough for you, just remember to bend in situations and give in where needed or accidents, injuries and illness will find you. This is how the universe rewards you for being unwilling to bend. If Mars makes harsh aspects while in the 1st house, elements of aggressive and selfish attitudes will have to be dealt with.

Mars square Uranus:

    You will find that projects you are working on or activities STOP temporarily and your health may not be at its best. Have you been overdoing it physically? An Illness is a strong possibility now, arriving quite suddenly to remind us that we are human and we need a break

    Explosive situations can easily get out of control this month, and changes will seem to be imposed on you rather than chosen. Be aware that freak accidents are very possible.

    An influence of this energy is one of being enveloped in a cloud of constant negativity and you may find yourself just trying to get a break from yourself. Money becomes nonexistent, but like all things there is a positive side. It forces you to finish tasks that you have been working on and bring them to a successful conclusion. Once this month ends, then everything goes back to normal, whatever normal is.

    Expect nervous tension and an irritable nature to be your friend for now, so spend some time by yourself and avoid getting into tiffs with close friends and associates.

    You will be very erratic in your actions for no apparent reason. Avoid working on or near electrical equipment, wiring, appliances, machinery, sharp tools, fireworks or automobiles until after this month passes. Do not give into the peer pressure that dares you to do something out of the ordinary. If this situation does arise, you might want to consider new friends. Your behavior might cause separations or permanent breakups of relationships, friends and family.

Mars Semisextile Pluto:

    Encounters open a wider circle of colleagues to you this month and renewed commitments of love can be undertaken. Insights into love can occur that are quite profound and strong attractions to the opposite sex will be felt. Marital relations can find their beginning now, and if at all possible, give flowers to someone special. True love can be found somewhere close by you, and remember that "Love will conquer all" is the theme of this influence. Those of sad heart will be much happier than in the past this month.

    Thus is a time of sexual stimulation which should be quite exciting and there will be a greater tolerance for others and is a virtue which should be exercised at every opportunity. Your social life will pick up and you may have the urge to invite people over for a party. Secret loves can easily develop and existing relationships will rise to a higher level of understanding.

                             Jupiter

The placement of Jupiter in the Lunar return chart determines in what areas of your life you are likely to have opportunities for growth and expansion during the coming month.

Lunar Return Jupiter in 6th house:
 

    Jupiter is in your 6th house this month. Jupiter tends to expand your efforts and brings good fortune and positive change to the house it occupies.

    Your health should be good but you are likely to overindulge in the good life causing you to put on weight. Your work place will be fulfilling and you will enjoy taking on more work. If you have been ill, this is an excellent month for the body to heal or recover. Opportunities for employment can arise and teaching, travel, laziness, spiritual healing and better health care practices are favored. If Jupiter receives a difficult aspect while in the 6th house, there can be a lazy attitude adopted towards work.

Jupiter trine Pluto:

    Basic reforms in any area of your life will be very fortunate. Large scale renovations can take place successfully this month, and make sure to use the power that accompanies it for positive purposes, both for others and yourself.

    Positive changes can be undertaken in your life making this is an excellent time for your business and career. People in authority can help you, and is a fortunate time to ask for their help. This is a lucky influence when benefits can come through joint finances. Your spouse can render support financially to help you through some difficult times.

    This is a favorable time for keeping your need to control or hold power over others under control. Outdoor activities, adventures and travel are excellent outlets for this energy. When selecting a friend or new mate, choose someone who shares the same mutual interests as you, perhaps this is when you will find such a person. There will be a strong urge to be noticed and appreciated by others as well.

    If you are planning any home improvements, this month is the time to initiate it and any travel done will be for business instead of pleasure. There can be an increased understanding of the universe and its workings and you may start a course in Metaphysical study.

                             Saturn

The placement of Saturn in the Lunar return chart determines where you will encounter obstacles, difficult lessons, and where discipline will be needed in your life during the coming month.

Lunar Return Saturn in 7th house:

    Saturn is in your 7th house this month. The purpose of the planet Saturn is to teach us and help us to mature in the houses associated with Saturn. The stronger we resist these changes, the stronger the effects will be felt until we submit to a more structured way of life.
 

    Relationships and business partnerships can take on a very serious tone or become burdensome. Expect tests of relationships to arise and some relationships will end because they demand more than they give. Marital and business breakups are possible this month, so handle confrontations instead of avoiding them. If Saturn forms a difficult aspect while in the 7th house, there can be legal matters to be dealt with, lawsuits or suffer from temporary unpopularity.

Saturn square Neptune:

    Past indiscretions can come back on you, bringing problems. What you did in the past becomes an open book for the world to see, and can be publicly revealed. Boy, talk about tests in what you believe. Your health is very vulnerable to hidden conditions, so take care of yourself. Deceptions are at all time high, so don't let it find you now.

    Avoid drinking or smoking because the body will be more vulnerable to them than usual. You've heard the expression you are your own worst enemy haven't you? Well, this is the influence that started it!

    Work will become very unappealing and avoided, and negativity will be experienced to and from others.

                    Uranus, Neptune and Pluto

The placement of the 3 outer planets in the Lunar return chart indicates areas in your life that are likely to take surprising twists and turns, where idealism and illusion may enter your life, or where compulsive or extreme situations may arise in your life during the coming month.

Lunar Return Uranus in 4th house:

    Uranus is in your 4th house this month. Uranus is the planet that causes us to make changes of the sudden and electric kind in our lives with very little regard as to whether we want to or not.

    Old hang ups can arise to be dealt with creating some discord and separations and unexpected and sudden changes occur in the domestic scene. A change of residence is possible somewhere with the placement of Uranus here, or you may decide to make much needed repairs. If Uranus makes a difficult aspect while in the 4th house, home projects will not do well, moves that were planned will not go well if at all and business activities centered around the home will not do well.

Uranus opposition Node:

    STRESS has entered your life this month, so use any means to get rid of it before it gets the best of you. You will not appreciate any sexual advances made towards you this month and any assistance that is offered by others will be refused.

    You may find that during this time matters of sexuality become less important to you and matters of pure intimacy without being sexually active become more important and necessary. You can also find that people can come to you for consolation and you can do so without the threat of sexual advancement on your part coming into play, instead enjoying people for their company.

    Upsetting circumstances arrive in group and individual relationships and freedom will cause setbacks. Pig headedness is a negative use of this energy and arguments are a positive outlet for this energy because it gets everything out on the open.

Uranus trine Asc.:

    There can be a strong attraction to someone in your life who is very unconventional and somewhat a rebel and they will have very strong Aquarian qualities. You will find that there is also an increase in your enjoyment while showing affection to others. There will be nothing "dull" about you during this month.

    Increased freedom is needed in relationships if they are to survive and new interests, hobbies or studies will be sought.

    You will be have a fascination or attraction to technical or scientific areas, while being exhibiting a very impulsive and nervous constitution needs to be satisfied.

    Sudden contacts can bring wonderful opportunities to you, and travel is favored as well.

    Relationships that start under this influence may very well cease at the end of this month, granted it was electric and wonderful, but this time period does not support a long lasting one.

    Unexpected partnerships in business can develop as well, but wait until after this month is over to see if it will be a strong one.

Lunar Return Neptune in 4th house:

    Neptune is in your 4th house this month. Neptune is the Grand Master of illusion, deception, imagination and inspiration, perhaps all at the same time. Psychic and intuitive aspects can emerge from our personalities either consciously or subconsciously and new concepts that are somewhat poetic, compassionate and humanitarian can easily arise. As long as we remain realistic in our approach to life, we shouldn't encounter too many lessons though. Expect Neptune to put you through many changes of perceptions and your views or reality will be altered several times as well.

    Real estate purchased, or the home where you live may have real problems with plumbing or liquids of any kind that may leak. Perhaps it can occur underground especially if Neptune is under a hard aspect. The domestic front becomes confusing and resources or outlays in energy prove exhausting. If Neptune makes a difficult aspect while in the 4th house, responsibilities with family members can arise and problems in gas, oil or water leaks can take place in the home.

Lunar Return Pluto in 2nd house:
 

    Pluto is in your 2nd  house this month. Pluto is the master of digging down beneath the surface of who you are and bring some very powerful yet subtle changes into your life. Pluto is where your OBSESSIONS can be found this month.

    Drastic changes can take place with your material possessions and income. If you allow status or material matters to hold power over you there can be losses. If Pluto makes a difficult aspect while in the 2nd house, you may attempt underhanded methods to make money or be subjected to dishonest people yourself.

Pluto Sesquiquadrate MC:

    Passion and strong feelings will increase that will be difficult to deal with this month and research and studies are favored. You may be working in an undesirable environment around virus's and bacteria in some way.
    A great deal of pressure is on you to make changes in your goals and life direction, just be careful not to let your actions make those around you oppose your ideas.
    Changes against your will can take place, just don't waste your energies trying to fight the system, instead go with the flow. Tensions are sure to surface and home repairs and changes of residence is possible.

Natal 7th on lunar Asc:

    With your Natal 7th house on the Lunar Ascendant,  making compromises to others, and overlooking differences for the sake of  relationships can come into focus. Any difficulties in love and relationships are likely to surface to be dealt with. You are more than likely to be the initiator of  relationships now. Matters of marriage and divorce or  litigation are all part of this energy, and are sure to be an essential part of what is going on in some way.

Natal Asc in lunar 4th house:

     With your natal Ascendant now in the Lunar 4th house, the focus will be on the home, the emotional makeup of the domestic front, your connection with your emotions, and with your past, family and most of all  parents. The 4th House represents the home and your most private thoughts and feelings, and because of this your life will be very private. The 4th House  relates to the mother or mothering influences for others, and becoming  a "more nurturing" parent. Most importantly, it is where you as an individual fit this month.

 This astrological forecast report is based on an astrological technique
 known as Lunar Returns. The date when the influence begins appears
 below. The influences described will last for about one month.

                                  Lunar Return for: Edmonton, Canada 53 N 33    113 W 28 

       LUNAR RETURN DATE: April 16, 1999 at 1:25:24 PM GMT

  Zodiac Signs on the Ascendant and MC, and the Ascendant Ruler

The zodiac signs on the Ascendant and MC, and the house position of the Ascendant ruler at the time of the Lunar return are described below. Your social and career opportunities for the coming month are influenced by these signs and house placement.

Lunar Return Ascendant Taurus :

      BEAUTIFY YOURSELF AND YOUR WORLD

    You will find that your accomplishments take on the speed of glue this month. This is an asset because you will never forget the fine details and finishing strokes that make projects into masterpieces. Every action you employ is well thought out, organized, filed, cross referenced and above all methodical. The only stick in the ointment for you is an unexpected turn of events that totally disrupts your nervous system and drives you to another pack of cigarettes or activates your sweet tooth. You can work for hours on projects that people have lost interest in, because that's just the fun kind of person you are!

    Taurus on the Ascendant implies procrastination to some degree and difficulty breaking undesirable habits and behavior. Taurus brings materialistic, status-seeking tendencies to the foreground this month, and can be easily influenced by people of power and wealth although you may not openly show it. Taurus is ruled by Venus, planet of sensuality and beauty, and this month physical attractiveness and physical training will become more important to you. A greater appreciation for good food, wine as well as weight gain can be expected. If you are a female the world of cosmetics and beauty aids will be employed to make yourself more attractive, as well as the latest and most flattering fashions and comfortable fitting, soft and luxurious. You will also have much more of an interest in art and music this month. Health wise your neck and throat areas are most vulnerable for you now, and since infections of the ear and earaches are on the rise, you will have to guard against them.

    Once you have a project finished, I defy anyone to try to make changes in your presentation. This is where your stubborn and strong willed nature is stimulated and the symbol of the Bull emerges. Like the homing pigeon who flies home the same way every time, you do everything in your lives the same way, day after day even if you hate the routine while complaining at the same time.

    As long as you are left alone at whatever you do, your mannerisms return to a domesticated state, waiting for the next poor soul to challenge your position. You never have to worry about being rushed or pushed around, nor would you allow it, unless there is a monetary incentive, roses, candlelight dinner, jewelry, real estate or love involved. Then  you become putty in anyone's hands.

    You are considered to be a rock, headstrong, opinionated, solid, reliable and dependable. You are sensible and practical in all matters and your appearance is cool, calm and collected, and unemotional most of the time, which masks a great strength which is an asset to you in times of struggle.

    Security on the job, finances which balance in your favor and a home which is your piece of the rock are utmost important to you. Should someone suggest a move or change to you, you are likely to put up a struggle that the world will not soon forget. You can be found sitting at the front door of your home, job or marriage (no matter how bad it is) long after everything has been changed, finalized or long forgotten.

    You have an enthusiastic approach to all things beautiful, whether love or art forms, and can be quite at home among nature. Your attractiveness has an earthy quality which makes people feel at home with you immediately. This is the spell you weave to get others into your web. Once inside you do not give them up easily, if at all. Look to the house where VENUS is located to see where your LOVE of life is located this month.

            Ascendant is in Taurus, Capricorn Decanate

    Ruled by the planet Saturn, this is the most greedy of positions. Ambitions for the almighty dollar will bring out a very stingy nature that needs controlling, or at least understanding. You will become very formal in your approach to the environment around you and can develop a patient, careful and kind disposition. The danger here is being too cautious and opposing any kinds of change that will stunt your internal growth.

Ruler of Ascendant in 1st house

    With the Ascendant Ruler in the Lunar 1st house, your personal identity becomes more important. Questions of who am I, how do I fit in this world around me, and why am I in the circumstances that surround me is highlighted. How will I relate to the outside world, and how will people see me as an individual is a focal point in your life.

Lunar Return MC Capricorn:

    Since this is the most "visible" part of the Lunar chart, it represents how you are actually seen in the world by others. It represents your more outward or public face and where you are likely to encounter success, and your reputation in the world. Your goals involve money, your standing in the community and business matters. You may appear cold to others but you have disciplined your life on a specific goal, and some of the veneer that has built up needs time to wear down some. Just the same be aware of your cool and fault finding side and learn to modify it for your own good.

    With Capricorn on the Midheaven this month, difficulties can be encountered with authority figures or father figures feelings limited, restricted and unable to operate freely, or burdened with too many responsibilities. Career goals now will be strong, and jobs that offer the greatest security or position of authority over others will have a strong draw for you. Make sure that once you have achieved this position of authority over others, power doesn't bring you down in disgrace, and quite publicly.

    Your approach to your surroundings is careful, cautious, conservative, self-restricted, and realistic. You are not known for taking risks or chances which will leave you on the short end of the stick. Spontaneous actions is not a part of your personality because you carefully plan each action and activity. People will find you doing the same things at the same time everyday, with an appointment calendar that is full and very well organized to gain full benefit of your precious time.

    In business you are very clever and intelligent making careful choices and overworking to the point of fatigue. Asking others for their help does not fall within your realm of reality unless absolutely necessary and even then with the greatest reluctance. You work diligently to your goals of acquiring a position of responsibility and high office.

    People see you as very serious, having no sense of humor, yet quiet and always in a state of contemplation. Gushy expressions of feelings don't register on the internal scale for you, you have no idea what it is for. You work so hard on building the outer self to deal with life, that you have lost some of the endearing qualities.

    You aren't cheap, you are just a conservationist when it comes to the almighty dollar, and never let it get very far from your bank account. What you do spend on is items that will last a long time or secure investments.

              Zodiac Signs on the Other House Cusps

The zodiac signs on the other house cusps affect your attitude to many areas of your life, and have a significant impact on what kinds of opportunities and challenges will present themselves in the coming month.

Gemini on 2nd cusp:

     The influence of Gemini on your second house of money puts a greater importance on using the mind on material matters and making money. Since Mercury is the ruling planet of Gemini, and rules what you think about, finances, making money and possessions are at the top of your list. Since Gemini also rules duality, you can expect to be working more than one job to support your financial and material needs. Sources of making money will probably come through efforts using the mind and not the hands. Look to the house where Mercury is located for additional insights as to how or where you will put this effort.

Cancer on 3rd cusp:

     With Cancer on the cusp of the third house of communication and learning, you will be very sensitive and compassionate to people in your environment. You instinctively know what other people need especially in your immediate environment. This position of Cancer and the Moon makes for an excellent memory and recalling details. Any slights, outbursts and hurt feelings will be remembered as well. Discussions will take place on an emotional level rather than intellectual, perhaps with rapid changes in mood as well. There will also be more discussions with, and about, brothers and sisters who you are apt to be very close with. Friends, family members and neighbors can also figure into your close knit family of communications as well. Look to the house position of the Moon, to see where your interests can be found.

Cancer on 4th cusp:

     With Cancer on the fourth house of the home, family, roots, real estate, property and security,  you shows a strong sentimental and emotional side regarding the home and family as a unit, therefore it will be very important to nurture them and be nurtured. You will put down roots and become a responsible parent and homeowner. You will be much more protective of your parents, or find you may have to take care of them. With Cancer on the fourth house, your assertive nature becomes more docile, although there can be some degree of moodiness between you, and family members. Look to the house where the Moon is located to see where your home security can be found.

Leo on 5th cusp:

    You have Leo on the fifth house of Children, recreation, romance, creativity, artistic abilities, hobbies, writing books (creatively), speculation and investments. You will have a strong need to strut your stuff and be on center stage for the world to see. The Sun is at home here, and romance, creativity and children will get top billing, however your creative interests can change by the minute. With this much ego energy located amongst all of this creative energy, constant pats on the back for a job well done are a necessity for you if you are to stay with a project very long. Otherwise, enthusiasm drops like a stone, and you are off onto something else. You will do more than your share of gambling, speculating and investing with a good amount of luck. Look to the house where the Sun is located to see where you might find your recreation and romance potential.

Virgo on 6th cusp:

     You have Virgo on the cusp of the sixth house of Work, Work environment, responsibilities, health, work and service for others, relationships with employees and co-workers, and your interest in physical fitness. You will have a great concern for the physical body, health and diet. In your work routine, choose jobs that allow you to do research or work with details, as this is your strong suit. Since you are a perfectionist now, finishing tasks and jobs on time will be difficult, and you can be quite demanding in work and in personal life. Virgo loves to criticize everything and nit pick every detail, so you may need to give the world some space. Look to the house where Mercury is located to see where you might find work or service to others.

Scorpio on 7th cusp:

     Relationships, partnerships, marriage, people you have close associations with, cooperation or lack of, contracts, and legal matters are all part of the seventh house, with Scorpio located here. You will be obsessed with each love and relationships, tinged with jealousy, possessiveness and battles for dominance. This is a powerful energy that can make the relationship grow, or destroy it through manipulation and control tactics. Since Scorpio is such a secretive sign, you may keep relationships secret from yourself. Look to the house that contains Pluto to see how you will deal with partnerships.

Sagittarius on 8th cusp:

    The eighth house deals with joint resources. Possessions that are not earned directly by you, but obtained through the relationship, wills, or pensions. It also has to do with money belonging to others such as taxes, corporate money, insurance, and the stock market. The eighth house also relates to the mysteries of life and sex. Sagittarius will have an influence on the above matters by bringing an extra air of good luck and good fortune in business, money and financial investments. Jupiter promises prosperity and abundance for you now. Look to see which house Jupiter is located in, to see where your joint money can be found.

Capricorn on 9th cusp:

    The ninth house is the house of long range goals and long distance travel. Religion, philosophy and higher education are ninth house matters. With Capricorn ruling the ninth house, you will be conservative in thought and ideas. Travel is not high on your list, and you may actually avoid it unless totally necessary, as in business matters. With Saturn being the ruler here, you will take your duties in religion, philosophy, law and education very seriously, and you will not take your responsibilities lightly. Look to the house where Saturn is located to see where your interests in higher aspirations can be found.

Aquarius on 11th cusp:

     The eleventh house has domain over achievement of goals and objectives, and hopes and wishes. Humanitarian efforts, clubs, groups, associations, sharing ideals are also associated with the eleventh house. People that support your efforts, friends and connections to the outside world can be found in this house. With Aquarius located in the eleventh house, the focus turns to people who are very unique, unusual or odd in some way. Associations here are intellectual rather than sentimental in nature. You are a group joiner, always ready to fight for a cause. Socially you will be very active and probably very busy. Look to the house where Uranus is located to see where you might find your friends, associations and group involvements and interests.

Pisces on 12th cusp:

     The twelfth house rules the subconscious mind, problems arising from unseen causes, and limitations in our lives. This house has rulership over behind the scenes activities, emotional problems, secrets, deceptions, problems to overcome, the side of ourselves away from public view, where the soul can step back and take a look at the world around us. The twelfth house also has rulership over prisons, hospitals, and other institutions that would remove you from society. Pisces energy on the twelfth house indicates that you have a great deal of compassion and sympathy for others, but you will keep it hidden and to yourself. You are a dreamer and visionary, but expressing your dreams and visions is extremely difficult for you to do. The lesson here is trusting your intuition, but it will be a difficult one. Look to the house where Neptune is located to find that area in which you retire from public view.

    Hidden feelings can come bubbling up to the surface this month, even the ones we didn't know we had buried inside. They can come from any area of our lives and take us by surprise. Our feelings can go helter skelter as we change gears in the middle of a viewpoint and head off in the opposite direction, so a little time spent by yourself would be a salvation about now. Depression can come in and visit us for the next month and insecurity about ourselves arise and demand to be noticed. This is a time to bring out in the open what is bothering you and deal with it. If the Lunar Moon makes stressful aspects to the 12th house, there can be some emotional hardships for yourself or others in your environment that require hospitalization of some kind.

Moon opposition Mars:

    Irritability is present now and emotional outbursts can occur at some time this month. A very independent nature exists within you that will not react well to interference from others. Outdoor exercise and nutrition will be very helpful to your well being or try supplementing Iron and fiber intake to stay fit inside and out. Consider a course in stress management as an alternative to taking anger and frustration out on others.

    Self restraint and patience is needed in relationships and with those you love. You can work with this negative energy if you go out of your way to bring good into the lives of others.

Moon conjunction Saturn:

    Relating to women can be difficult this month because self confidence and emotional reinforcement are lacking. You will find that women are very cool, calm and collected and not supportive to your emotional needs.

Moon square Neptune:

    You are very sociable now and you love making a good impression on others, making peace with the world around you, taking vacations, attracting people and having a good time. Your environment is happy and content and a romantic admirer may take a shine to you. If Venus receives a stressful aspect while in the 1st house, you are likely to be more self indulgent and spend more on extravagant items and in some cases be a little bit more "HYPER" than usual.

Venus Quincunx Mars:

    There is no excusing abuse in relationships in any form and this month can promote just that. Romantic quarrels are apt to be hot and heavy if you let them get out of hand. Problems in social areas and business are likely to arise, so watch those not so nice remarks as they can cut like a knife. Avoid any purchases of extravagant items, as they may have to be returned for one reason or another. Control your emotions and your feelings, don't let them get out of control. Bad news can arrive in financial ventures, and applications for credit, services or products denied.

    Opposing views regarding confidential data causes separations. The battle of the sexes continues in high gear and jealousy can rear its ugly head demanding to be heard. Sexual needs become accented and sexual incompatibility or aggressiveness are also indicated. Selfish attitudes can arise and financial extravagances can leave you broke, so try to tone down spending. Items bought at the store may have to be returned with defects, especially electrical/mechanical. Be precise in all things you do to avoid the mistakes that can easily occur.

Venus Semisextile Saturn:

    Pending deals can this month be finalized with profits this month and you will be more cautious than usual in your dealings with others. Benefits can come through older people and in your daily routine, use old business standards rather than employing new ones. Progress in financial dealings is an important outcome of this time period.

    New love relationships started will be with someone much younger or older than yourself and you will be more willing to make sacrifices for the sake of others as well and you will take your duties and responsibilities to others very seriously.

    A positive side of  this energy is the ability to purchase items from a standpoint of only what you need and let the luxuries of life wait until another time. Balance the books and budget your funds to keep your life in check. You are able to be more controlled in your affections, putting your emotions on hold.

Venus trine Neptune:

    Harmony in relationships is indicated by this month, so use charm as a tool to get what you want. Soul connections with others will be very strong and powerful and you can experience a strong psychic rapport with others in your environment.

    Visionary business practices pay off very nicely, so introduce new ideas to someone, they will be well received now. This is a highly favorable time for romance, or this can be a highly creative time. Romance can take place at a distant place, or while travelling. There will be a strong intuitive awareness of other peoples' moods and feelings that will be very much on target.

Venus opposition Pluto:
 

    Cutting back on fixed expenses can be difficult this month as heavy demands will be made on resources. Extramarital affairs can cause unexpected problems and intense sexual energy that must find a positive outlet. Do not make any permanent commitments, and make sure that you review all projects that you are working on very carefully to avoid errors.

    Circumstances out of your control can be the means to an end of relationships and here can be sexual incompatibility. Don't mix business with romance now and remember that relatives by marriage may be a pain in the butt. This is probably a good time to remain near home, and remember to avoid crash diets that won't work.

Venus Sesquiquadrate MC:

    Socialize, don't work this month! Express love to someone new or old, what have you got to lose? This month is great for the giving or receiving of affection, just don't demand anything from others, instead use kids gloves and charm to win the month. This is a difficult time for family, finances and profession. Chances are that if finances go poorly, it was your own fault and undoing that brought you to this point and getting organized will be difficult to do.

                              Mars

The placement of Mars in the Lunar return chart affects your drive, ambition, and vitality during the coming month.

Lunar Return Mars in 6th house:

    Mars is in your 6th house this month. Mars is the planet of intense activity and the house it occupies by placement shows where that activity will take place. Mars is aggressive and can be quite selfish in its needs and desires, so be careful how you utilize this tremendous energy.

    Hard work and accomplishments through work and service to others is emphasized. Conflicts or difficulties in the work place or with the boss or subordinates. Illnesses, infections and fevers as well as accident potential can develop. You are working so hard that you are neglecting your physical health. Co-workers may be irritating and unnecessary conflicts can be fired up. Arguments arise when you do not agree with the bosses wishes. If Mars forms a difficult aspect while in this house, there can be health hazards around the work place that can bring the possibility of injury, or your diet can easily affect your health.

Mars opposition Saturn:

    Industrial or transportation accidents are possible, so use extreme caution. Urgent situations can arise this month, calling for urgent solutions to problems. The presence of extreme anger should be recognized and dealt with before it gets out of hand. Young and old can easily face each other in that old popular favorite, the generation gap and matters of law and order may seem to be ineffective temporarily.

    Difficulties can easily arise with father figures, the boss or any authority figures. Legal matters and dealing with the government are unfavorable. Stick only to programs that have been working for a long time and don't try to make any changes or rock the boat. Those of you who waste the bosses time with foolish actions or behavior will feel the mighty wrath of who is really in charge. Difficulties over financial arrangements can arise and durability testing in relationships occurs from time to time to point out the weak areas to be worked on. Separations and breakups from close attachments that occur this month will be the result of your own actions and no one can be blamed but you!

    Health matters that can arise now are broken bones and problems with the teeth. Caution should be observed with automobiles, tools, machinery and weapons no matter how small, as injuries can occur. The burdens of older people can arise now to be dealt with as well.

Mars square Neptune:

    You may discover that you have been betrayed by someone very dear to you this month, as deceptions can be found at the highest levels of work, government or domestic life. Getting the truth from others is not promising, and avoid potential hazards to your health or well being by using care in what you do.

    It is likely that you will be easily discouraged in your attempts to succeed and find your vitality is on the low side. Avoid wasted and destructive energies, impulsive actions, failures, misuse and abuse of others, criminal behavior and infections which are all side effects. Remember, your ENERGY LEVELS WILL BE NON-EXISTENT.

    Keep away from drugs or drinking because they will react adversely on your body and misunderstandings with others will be easy to come by, you won't have to go looking for them, they will find you.

    Confusion and chaotic conditions can easily arrive in your life now and new ventures or business should wait until the fog you call a mind clears. Dangerous conditions CAN exist around areas where escaping gas, toxic chemical or fumes, flammable liquids and gases are stored or located.

                             Jupiter

The placement of Jupiter in the Lunar return chart determines in what areas of your life you are likely to have opportunities for growth and expansion during the coming month.

Lunar Return Jupiter in 12th house:

    Jupiter is in your 12th house this month. Jupiter tends to expand your efforts and brings good fortune and positive change to the house it occupies.

    You will learn a great deal about the inner you through spiritual dimensions of life now, or spiritual teachers or friends may assume the role. Metaphysical interests can begin, or past experiences will give you insights into your future. You might seek a place of refuge and spiritual retreat and seclusion. A Wonderful position for learning the art of Meditation. If Jupiter makes a difficult placement while in the 12th house, there is a danger of feeling sorry for yourself and indulge in escapism of your own device.

Jupiter sextile Uranus:

    New meanings from life can be derived with this month. An opportunity for travelling and studying someplace completely new and foreign to you may leap up and grab you. This will prove to be a fortunate and harmonious time filled with creativity and social opportunities filled with financial gain and luck. Luck that cannot be explained can easily come from out of the blue. Money can suddenly arrive out of the blue and quite unexpectedly.

    There will be an increased need to socialize with others that are very unusual to you and someone can come along and open you to new ideas that you have never thought of before. New opportunities can open you up to science and engineering principles as well.

    Prophetic insights can also arrive which prove to be accurate, or an interest in Parapsychology or Astrology may have you off to the book store. Expect new, interesting and perhaps weird and unusual friends to enter your life. Benefits will come to you from friends, business and insurance matters.

Jupiter trine Pluto:

    Basic reforms in any area of your life will be very fortunate. Large scale renovations can take place successfully this month, and make sure to use the power that accompanies it for positive purposes, both for others and yourself.

    Positive changes can be undertaken in your life making this is an excellent time for your business and career. People in authority can help you, and is a fortunate time to ask for their help. This is a lucky influence when benefits can come through joint finances. Your spouse can render support financially to help you through some difficult times.

    This is a favorable time for keeping your need to control or hold power over others under control. Outdoor activities, adventures and travel are excellent outlets for this energy. When selecting a friend or new mate, choose someone who shares the same mutual interests as you, perhaps this is when you will find such a person. There will be a strong urge to be noticed and appreciated by others as well.

    If you are planning any home improvements, this month is the time to initiate it and any travel done will be for business instead of pleasure. There can be an increased understanding of the universe and its workings and you may start a course in Metaphysical study.

Jupiter trine Node:

    There will be a noticeable increase in social contacts with friends and you will both look forward to and enjoy their company. Harmony in traditional educational, religious and social beliefs exists. Jupiter square MC:

    MISUNDERSTANDINGS

    You may be so wrapped up in your beliefs that you cannot make any changes in your life and you will avoid or shun any social opportunities that arise.

    Avoid any unnecessary expenditures and new debts that can take its toll later. Trying to finish projects can seem impossible to do and you will find that you have the ambition to work very hard and significant achievement is possible if you keep your cool. The ego doesn't need any help but it gets a boost anyway this month and you may want to expand professionally but over-expansion is the danger.

    Business and finances won't do very well now, and new business ventures should not be started. Cooperation will not be easy to find from friends, the boss, government agencies or people who can have an influence on your life. Be careful not to take on too much work, it can overwhelm you especially now. Disagreements with your in-laws, social circles, colleges, schools and teachers can be expected.

                             Saturn

The placement of Saturn in the Lunar return chart determines where you will encounter obstacles, difficult lessons, and where discipline will be needed in your life during the coming month.

Lunar Return Saturn in 12th house:

    Saturn is in your 12th house this month. The purpose of the planet Saturn is to teach us and help us to mature in the houses associated with Saturn. The stronger we resist these changes, the stronger the effects will be felt until we submit to a more structured way of life.

    A month for withdrawing from the world and in a retreat or place of seclusion. It is the time to say adieu to old habits and prepare for a rebirth of self. Break old habits and say good-bye to old failures and inadequacies and cut your losses now and look ahead to the future. Favors work done in secret, parapsychology, Ashrams, retreats and the culmination of Karmic debts. If Saturn makes a difficult aspect while in the 12th house, fears, moodiness, depression or underhanded means must be guarded against.

Saturn square Neptune:

    Past indiscretions can come back on you, bringing problems. What you did in the past becomes an open book for the world to see, and can be publicly revealed. Boy, talk about tests in what you believe. Your health is very vulnerable to hidden conditions, so take care of yourself. Deceptions are at all time high, so don't let it find you now.
 

    Avoid drinking or smoking because the body will be more vulnerable to them than usual. You've heard the expression you are your own worst enemy haven't you? Well, this is the influence that started it!

    Work will become very unappealing and avoided, and negativity will be experienced to and from others.

                    Uranus, Neptune and Pluto

The placement of the 3 outer planets in the Lunar return chart indicates areas in your life that are likely to take surprising twists and turns, where idealism and illusion may enter your life, or where compulsive or extreme situations may arise in your life during the coming month.

Lunar Return Uranus in 11th house:

    Uranus is in your 11th house this month. Uranus is the planet that causes us to make changes of the sudden and electric kind in our lives with very little regard as to whether we want to or not.

    Friendships, hopes, wishes and plans change. . . suddenly, and peer pressures can become disturbing. Be willing to change your plans and above all be flexible in your thinking. If Uranus makes a difficult aspect while in the 11th house, friends can be very unreliable and not have your best interest in mind, or you may be very unpopular around your present group of people.

Uranus opposition Node:

    STRESS has entered your life this month, so use any means to get rid of it before it gets the best of you. You will not appreciate any sexual advances made towards you this month and any assistance that is offered by others will be refused.

    You may find that during this time matters of sexuality become less important to you and matters of pure intimacy without being sexually active become more important and necessary. You can also find that people can come to you for consolation and you can do so without the threat of sexual advancement on your part coming into play, instead enjoying people for their company.

    Upsetting circumstances arrive in group and individual relationships and freedom will cause setbacks. Pig headedness is a negative use of this energy and arguments are a positive outlet for this energy because it gets everything out on the open.

Uranus square Asc.:

    You will find it hard to relate to others this month and people will have a difficult time getting to know the real you. You will find it difficult to take care of other peoples needs or show affection. Friendships are what you need now rather than intimate partners. You will also see that some added stress has entered your life to contend with as well.

    Expect upsets and emotional instability to enter your life and the element of surprise and unpredictability will arrive at your door. Your attitude may adopt a very detached characteristic.

    Relationships are very disruptive this month and sudden separations can occur because you are looking for freedom from oppressive situations.

    Friends will prove to be very unreliable and you will be very bored with routines. Do not speculate or experiment with the occult this month, as the timing is unfortunate.

Lunar Return Neptune in 10th house:

    Neptune is in your 10th house this month. Neptune is the Grand Master of illusion, deception, imagination and inspiration, perhaps all at the same time. Psychic and intuitive aspects can emerge from our personalities either consciously or subconsciously and new concepts that are somewhat poetic, compassionate and humanitarian can easily arise. As long as we remain realistic in our approach to life, we shouldn't encounter too many lessons though. Expect Neptune to put you through many changes of perceptions and your views or reality will be altered several times as well.

    Your career can take on an air on confusion this month and can turn out not to be what you thought it would be. This placement favors careers that are related to service to others. The ambitious side of your nature to get ahead will be missing, along with the drive to get you there. If Neptune makes a difficult aspect while in the 10th house, there can be a lot of fantasy about who you wish you could be, but not able to achieve that status. Your private life can also be a matter of public record as well.

Lunar Return Pluto in 7th house:

    Pluto is in your 7th house this month. Pluto is the master of digging down beneath the surface of who you are and bring some very powerful yet subtle changes into your life. Pluto is where your OBSESSIONS can be found this month.

    Relationships, marriages and partnerships can undergo power plays, basic changes and manipulation this month. This is not the month to begin a marriage or any other commitments, as the result will be very unsettling and marriages that are not strong will not make it through this placement. Confrontations should be avoided if possible. If Pluto makes a difficult aspect while in the 7th house, problems can arise in joint finances, legal matters, insurance and taxes.
