INTRODUCTION: A FORECAST REPORT FOR YOUTH

AstroJourney is written for adolescents and young adults; we focused on, but did not limit ourselves to, 14 to 24 years of age. There are a lot of transit reports out there. Why write one for youth?

Survival is tougher today. Astrology is like a road map. Your road map. Your destiny. Today, more than ever before, we live in a world of choices. Your fate isn't set in stone. From the looks of things, we don't have too much to say about who our parents are, where we're born, how many siblings we get, whether our parents are rich or poor, loving or mean, rigid or liberal. Spiritual astrology teaches that you got the best deal you could get in terms of your karma. Your karma is the picture of your past, your debts and credits from many lifetimes, for better or for worse. Whether you believe in karma or not, you still have to work with what you've got!

CHOICES

The older you get, the more you're going to want to have a say, the more what you say is going to make a difference, and the more you're going to have to account for the consequences. Growing up and separating out from your parents, and making it on your own is about making decisions, taking responsibility for your life. This happens in stages. Some stages of maturation are gradual. Others are dramatic. Many things are hard to understand until later when we can look back on our experience with wiser eyes. Your personalized AstroJourney can help you understand what's going on while you're in the middle of it. AstroJourney can help you pinpoint various possibilities to help you make the best choices.

THE FIRST SATURN OPPOSITION

Some challenges we face have to do with stages in life. For example, between the ages of 14 1/2 and 16 everyone lives through the first Saturn opposition. This is usually a tough time, because you may feel quite capable of making it on your own, but somehow you're not ready yet. You're probably still financially dependent on your parents and you need to finish High School. You may need, love and respect your parents, but chances are you don't totally agree with the way they do things. This is the age when you really start to see things in a different way. It's necessary. Everyone goes through it. Your parents went through it. It's usually a time of tension.

YOUR PERSONAL DESTINY

Other happenings in your life have to do with the day and the moment you were born. Some of these cycles last for a couple of hours, others last for as long as 14 years! Going through Uranus conjoined your Sun, which happens only once in a lifetime and can totally turn around your life, is going to be different at 16 or 22 than at age 40 or 80! In writing this report, we want you to know what this transit means for you, at your age, at this time in history. A transit like Neptune squaring Mercury, which lasts a couple of years, would be confusing at any age in any time. But today the danger of getting wasted with drugs or alcohol or dropping out of school during this sensitive period is going to be more than it was a generation ago. It's also a great time for self-discovery, creativity, getting into music and art, meditation, Tai Chi, exploring spiritual concepts.

EVERYONE'S LIFE MATTERS

One thing I've discovered by working with thousands of people is that everyone, without exception, no matter how better off they may appear to be, has tough issues to work out. Some kids are in more deeply than others. Maybe this has to do with your relationships with parents, school issues, or feeling good about yourself, your body, your friends. In writing each entry we had to cover a lot of ground to speak to many people in different situations but at the same time hit how a certain influence works for you.

If you're 16 and living at home, stuff about looking for an apartment, buying a car, getting involved in serious relationships and filling out job apps may not be relevant to you yet. But, then again, it might. Many of you are sexually mature, if not necessarily ready. We decided to treat you as older rather than younger. You'll know what relates to you because it fits!

CONTRADICTORY INFLUENCES

On some days you'll hit a mixed forecast. For example, transiting Mercury might be Square your Mars, warning you that you could get into arguments or get a ticket for speeding. At the same time Mercury might be trine Jupiter, telling you it's a great time for communication of all sorts and short trips. When you think about it, in a single day, we deal with sometimes contradictory energies. If you put the two together, they'd read, "a great day for short trips as long as you watch your speed; you have a lot to say, but be willing to listen to someone else's point of view. " You can often make the good better by taking note of the precaution or you can blow a positive breeze by letting your ego be too large.

A SPIRITUAL GENERATION

This report is not religious in any way. But it is spiritual. All of you were born with an astrology that brings you into understanding spiritual dimensions of life not available to previous generations. East has met West, yoga and acupuncture and Tai Chi and meditation, even chiropractors were for the alternative crowd when many of your parents brought these and other "New Age" concepts in a generation ago. Today, they're more and more commonplace; just the beginning of what's to come.

You've been brought up with computers in an informational age where technology and the media are changing our lives so quickly it's not easy to keep pace. It may be harder to plan for the future, when the present moves so fast. Yesterday's model for marriage and close relationships doesn't really work today. In talking about your social and career aspects, we kept these things in mind.

YOU'RE CHANGING THE WORLD

Finally, you're adolescents and young adults at a time in history when major cycles are changing. We've just entered a new Astrological Age -- Aquarius, the age of Love. People have different ideas about what love means but Aquarius is already changing the way we think, work, play, relate. You're inheritors of a new world, one which many people in many lands believe will be a "Golden Age" preceded by incredible turmoil.

In writing to each of you and all of you, we do so with great respect and understanding, and with hopes that this book of changes will make a positive difference on your journey.

The original text of this report was written by Kathie Garcia with Todd Henderson (age 24), Indra Garcia (age 19) and Eugene Garcia (age 17).

* * * HOW TO USE ASTROJOURNEY * * *

At the exact moment of your birth, the planets were in certain signs, in a certain relationship to one another. To erect your natal chart, the astrologer takes a picture of that moment, as if the heavens froze! The story of your life is written in the working out of these energies over time. Some are harmonious and others are challenging. Astrologers are able to predict what things happen when and for how long by evaluating the impact of transits. Transits compare the positions of a planet on a given date to a planet or position in your natal chart.

Using AstroJourney is easy!

* In your report you'll read the date on which a transit is exact on the left hand side. This is when its influence is strongest.

* In parentheses you'll see the full duration of the influence, when it comes into play and when it leaves.

* On the right hand side, you'll see the description of the transit which includes a transiting planet in aspect to a natal planet. For example : Merc Sxtil Ven means transiting Mercury is sextile natal Venus.

* Beneath is the interpretation of the influence.

UNDERSTANDING ASPECTS

Aspects are the astrologer's tool to understanding the nature of the relationship between two planets or positions:

Sextile (60 degrees) and Trines (120 degrees) show where energies flow harmoniously. Take advantage of these transits to lighten your load, move forward, get that date, etc.

Squares (90 degrees) are the most challenging of all aspects. Conquering a square can be difficult and requires discipline, but the prize is worth the effort.

Oppositions (180 degrees) challenge you in your relationships with other people. Sometimes you feel a real positive, even stimulating exchange of energy. Other times we deal with conflicts, confrontations, schisms, or separations. Someone else could be mirroring something about yourself you need to deal with but don't see.

Conjunctions (0 degrees) can go either way and depend much upon the nature of the two planets coming together. Venus and Jupiter is a fun, if potentially lazy, combination while Mars and Pluto can be pretty heavy since they both relate to anger and ego.

PLANETS IN HOUSES

Planets transiting through houses are going to highlight a specific area of your life for the duration of the transit according to the nature of the planet. AstroJourney will tell you when a transiting planet enters a particular house in your natal chart. The date on the left hand is the date the planet enters the house. In parentheses you'll see the duration of the transit. It will start a day earlier than the beginning date. This is when the transiting planet is on the house cusp. On the right hand side you'll see the name of the planet and the house its entering. For example, "Merc 4th H." means "transiting Mercury is entering the 4th house of your natal chart."

So, now you've got the pack, enjoy your journey!

An unforgettable love relationship, friendship or spiritual connection transfigures your life. Maybe you're freed from a relationship that tied you down. You pour your love into creative work. A sense of mission comes forth. A job pays off big time and lets you know what it's like to have significant bucks in your pocket or praise from an appreciative public. If you have any artistic or musical inclination, now's the time to sharpen your skills. A few, who haven't learned to give and get, throw away this soul tie in senseless pleasure and sensuality.

Jan 30, 2002 (Jan 29, 2002 to Feb 24, 2002) Ven 3rd H.

Venus in the House of communication, transportation, siblings; others are won by the sweetness of your words, a poem or valentine; good times with a brother, sister or cousin; new cars, stereos and entertainment discoveries are possibilities.

Feb 3, 2002 (Feb 2, 2002 to Mar 6, 2002) Sun 3rd H.

Sun in the House of communication, transportation, siblings, roommates: connectedness is enhanced.

Feb 7, 2002 12 AM(Feb 6, 2002 to Feb 8, 2002) Sun Sxtil Asc

As far as image goes, things are looking super today! Chances are you feel expressive and are able to communicate well. A good day to approach the boss, older persons or those in positions of authority. Unless Mars and Jupiter are severely challenged, a good time to launch a vacation, get into sports, begin a new project.

Feb 8, 2002 12 PM(Feb 6, 2002 to Feb 11, 2002)merc sxtil plu

A great time to cut through the crap. Whether you're taking it to the next level in sports or in convincing others, this is the time to make it happen. This influence is like having a ballpark halogen light inside your brain. Subject matter previously hidden become apparent.

Feb 10, 2002 10 AM(Feb 9, 2002 to Feb 11, 2002) Ven Sqr Plu

Intense sexual encounters are possible under this fly-by influence. If you feel yourself coming on too strong, getting power hungry, or allowing them to dominate you, you could feel very discouraged. Rather than trying to remake the other person, let go and deal with your own stuff.

Feb 10, 2002 (Jan 29, 2002 to Apr 2, 2002) Jup Trine Sat

Now's the time to get ahead! Present parents, employers, or authority figures with your plans if you're looking for their support. The more you put in to this upper influence, the more you'll get out of it. A great booster for demonstrating your maturity; others notice and reward you. Your vision, organizational abilities and sense of responsibility are your guides to success. Opportunities to move forward open up. If you're looking for a job, now's the time to grab it. Much gain comes from travel and from educational advancement. A great transit for writers! For some, a spiritual Path opens during this cycle.

Feb 10, 2002 9 PM(Feb 9, 2002 to Feb 12, 2002) Mars Conj Ven

You're mad for love! Although romantic attractions often occur during this sexy influence, staying with someone long-term is not a given. This aspect imparts a basic drive to appreciate and taste life. Desires are strong and chances are you'll want to enjoy yourself. Over spending is very possible. Sexual energy, the energy behind all creativity, should be used wisely.

Feb 12, 2002 8 PM(Feb 11, 2002 to Feb 14, 2002)Mars Trine Asc

You should be looking pretty good. Use this transit to improve your appearance. Think positive, cause you're set to win! You might enjoy participating in sports and other physical activities.

Feb 13, 2002 1 AM(Feb 11, 2002 to Feb 14, 2002)Mars Sqr Moon

A tendency to take things personally could cause you to emotionally overreact. You could be acting like you did with your mother when you were an infant! Trouble is you've grown up! This transit gives you a good idea of what habits hurt you and keep you from getting the love you need. Emotional anger can challenge you. It doesn't matter if it comes from you or if someone else ticks you off. Booze and drug clouds are especially dangerous now. Look for new ways to conquer old hurts and you'll find a peace you haven't known before.

Feb 13, 2002 (Feb 11, 2002 to Mar 29, 2002) Mars 5th H.

Mars in the House of creative self-expression, romance and children: desires ignite sexual passions; extra fuel for work outs, all kinds of sports and artistic creations; sexual frustrations and jealousies for those who lack discipline; a child opens up your heart.

Feb 14, 2002 11 PM(Feb 14, 2002 to Feb 15, 2002)Ven Conj Merc

This influence brings love and wit together. You could be at your most poetic, humorous and entertaining! Email social visits could be fun now. An ideal time to clear up any misunderstandings in relationships. Give loved ones a call, interview for that job.

Feb 15, 2002 2 PM(Feb 13, 2002 to Feb 17, 2002)Merc Sxtil Sun

This is an excellent time for any kind of school work and for presenting your ideas to those in positions of power. A positive help if you're looking for a job or need to fill out an application. You might enjoy a short outing or drive.

Feb 16, 2002 8 PM(Feb 15, 2002 to Feb 17, 2002) Sun Sqr Plu

Fights, power struggles, and intense arguments characterize this short but powerful influence. Gear up to the challenge and try to handle any confrontational situations sensibly. Don't allow others to clobber you with criticism. You could be too hard on others as well. Nevertheless, Pluto can show you where changes have to be made. If you're financially independent, questions related to your credit could surface now. Control your temper and keep clear of violence.

Feb 17, 2002 12 AM(Feb 16, 2002 to Feb 18, 2002) Ven Conj Sat

Saturn conjoined Venus can indicate long term commitments and the beginning of important relationships. It can also foretell the ending of that which is not meant to be. Don't be down on yourself if you're feeling lonely. This can be a great time to put artistic urges into form. Write that poem! Paint that picture. Meditate on what you appreciate about yourself instead of focusing on what's wrong.

Feb 19, 2002 8 PM(Feb 18, 2002 to Feb 21, 2002) Mars Sqr Nep

This transit usually stimulates a period of self-evaluation. Unfortunately, the tendency is to be too hard on oneself, to concentrate on mistakes and failures and hence, to feel discouraged. Learn from the past, but redefine your goals and sense of mission for the future. You may be vulnerable to wishful thinking. Examine any personal or professional proposals objectively before making a commitment. You could easily get carried away with some fancy or another. Get a grip and stay focused. Don't give your self away; excessive sex, heavy partying, and hocus pocus leave you feeling dazed and confused. You don't need to play the victim. Self-knowledge and attunement with the heart can help you navigate this fog!

Feb 21, 2002 4 AM(Feb 20, 2002 to Feb 22, 2002)Ven Conj Mars

Physical passions, strong attractions! You may find yourself enjoying a little romance today or basking in some great vibes with your friends. A good aspect for artists and musicians. A little note: just because someone turns you on doesn't mean they understand you!

Feb 22, 2002 11 AM(Feb 21, 2002 to Feb 23, 2002)Sun Conj Merc

A day for brainstorming and throwing around ideas. A good time for all kinds of connections; phone and email chats, a short trip, a letter. You could benefit from getting extra exercise, working out or improving your diet.

Feb 23, 2002 5 AM(Feb 22, 2002 to Feb 24, 2002)Ven Trine Jup

The breezes feel warm and favorable. A good time to settle any outstanding grievances with diplomacy and kindness. A time perhaps of giving service to life, extending a hand, helping those in need. Potentially positive for increased cash flow.

Feb 23, 2002 1 PM(Feb 22, 2002 to Feb 24, 2002) Mars Sqr Ura

Alright, so you've got the Terminator doing battle with the Wolverine in your head! Whether the disruptive energy comes from within or from without the challenge is the same. Hard to referee, we know, but you can stay centered in the cage long enough to get these beasts to help break you out and live to see the next day. If you let these energies outplay themselves, others may wonder what happened to the you they once knew. Hallucinogenics, jumping out of planes without chutes and other attempts at adventurous self destruction lead to an early grave. So much rebellious behavior is tired and worn out. Quit fronting, and find better worlds to conquer. The hero is meditating within; bow to one another and join forces.

Feb 24, 2002 5 PM(Feb 23, 2002 to Feb 25, 2002) Ven Oppos MC

Home is where the heart is. Nevertheless, your love of home and family could conflict with your job or other responsibilities. Don't close the door to job opportunities. Seek the middle way.

Feb 24, 2002 (Feb 23, 2002 to Mar 22, 2002) Ven 4th H.

Venus in the House of the home and family: home is where the heart is; new plants improve the feng shui; watch the binges.

Feb 25, 2002 12 AM(Feb 24, 2002 to Feb 26, 2002) Sun Conj Sat

Now's the time to plan, organize and get things done. If you've been putting it off, do it now! Parental issues can come up now, especially with fathers and bosses. Be patient and willing to account for your actions. Serious feelings let you know areas of your life where things aren't the way you'd like them to be. Still, try not to get bummed. Take a deep breath and get the not so fun things out of way, so you'll be free to go out and play.

Feb 26, 2002 11 AM(Feb 25, 2002 to Feb 27, 2002) Ven Sqr Asc

Seek balance in interpersonal interactions. Venus problems like bingeing and making waves affect your public image. So stay cool and keep the styles close to the vest!

Feb 26, 2002 2 PM(Feb 25, 2002 to Feb 27, 2002)Ven Trine Moon

Passions formed under this influence may feel good, but they may not last. If you're already in love, this is the time to patch things up or make them better. A good time for surrounding yourself with family and friends. Sugar and spice and all things nice!

Feb 28, 2002 10 AM(Feb 27, 2002 to Mar 1, 2002) Merc Sqr Jup

You're in a problem-solving mood. However, if you're going to get an apartment or buy a car, read the fine print! Schoolwork could suffer if you're not in the mood or if you're sloppy. Ignoring details today could force you to make a do-over later.

Feb 28, 2002 (Feb 28, 2002 to Mar 21, 2002) Merc 3rd H.

Mercury in the House of communication, transportation, siblings, roommates: you're on the move; a time to send and receive; be aware of misunderstandings, transportation problems.

Mar 2, 2002 4 AM(Mar 1, 2002 to Mar 3, 2002) Sun Conj Mars

You're energized now. This is the time to get projects off to a good start. Mars gives you lots of potent energy for sports and competitive events. Now here's the ugly part: Mars energy can make you feel full of yourself and aggressive, not caring much about others' feelings or needs. Reckless actions could cause you danger or get you into trouble. It's not worth it! A coach or older person may motivate you onward. As long as you're respectful and mindful of protocol, this is actually a good time to talk to parents, teachers and those in charge. Chances are they'll listen.

Mar 2, 2002 11 AM(Mar 1, 2002 to Mar 3, 2002) Ven Sxtil Nep

Compassion, sensitivity to the needs and feelings of others and artistic and musical inspiration are enhanced under this influence. A good time to visit family or friends, especially those in need of comfort. Relationships initiated under this aspect could be an ideal encounter or a pie-in-the-sky bubble soon to burst.

Mar 2, 2002 12 PM(Mar 1, 2002 to Mar 3, 2002) Merc Sxtil Ven

You're feeling more together than usual. Take care of any negotiations or important correspondence. A good time to take in a movie, see a show, go out. How about an excursion combining work, study and fun?

Mar 3, 2002 2 PM(Mar 2, 2002 to Mar 4, 2002) Merc Sxtil Asc

You can really get your thoughts and ideas across. A good time for purchases and sales, and for asking someone out! A positive influence for job hunting.

Mar 4, 2002 3 PM(Mar 3, 2002 to Mar 5, 2002) Ven Sxtil Ura

Be ready for unexpected romantic, social or financial opportunities! Write down your poetic and practical inspirations. A time to get away from routine and do something completely different for a change.

Mar 4, 2002 5 PM(Mar 3, 2002 to Mar 5, 2002) Sun Trine Jup

Take advantage of this positive forecast. A return of positive karma could be coming your way. Whether it's romance, school or a job that you're thinking of, all should go well. A good day for making up if need be. You could get good advice from a guide or older person.

Mar 6, 2002 10 AM(Mar 5, 2002 to Mar 7, 2002) Ven Trine Plu

Strong attractions to the opposite sex often occur under this influence. Something deep inside you draws you to relationships that reveal your hidden self. This energy can also be channeled successfully into creative work and really fun social outings. A time to be resourceful with funds. You could get some top notch entertainment, receive or buy something beautiful or luxurious, buy some new duds.

Mar 6, 2002 3 PM(Mar 5, 2002 to Mar 7, 2002) Sun Oppos MC

A time to remember that there's no place like home! Take these days to clean your room, spend time with the family, or retreat a bit to think about your own needs. Of course, if you need to work or study, don't forget to take care of business.

Mar 6, 2002 (Mar 5, 2002 to Apr 8, 2002) Sun 4th H.

Sun in the House of the home and family: everyone needs to belong; Ego confrontations cause static; Seek harmony.

Mar 8, 2002 7 PM(Mar 7, 2002 to Mar 9, 2002) Sun Sqr Asc

Run ins with others who don't see things the way you do are a possibility today. Be aware of your ego and avoid steamrolling to get your way. On the other hand, you could feel more self-conscious than usual, a little too aware of the more negative aspects of your personality, too concerned with the way others see you. Center in your heart and you'll be able to surf this one out.

Mar 8, 2002 11 PM(Mar 7, 2002 to Mar 9, 2002) Sun Trine Moon

The world is looking friendly right now. You should be able to figure out even tough problems. Take advantage of this positive breeze to seek answers and work things out.

Mar 8, 2002 11 PM(Mar 8, 2002 to Mar 9, 2002) Ven Conj Sun

A time to do your favorite "people" type things; throw a party, take a friend out to the movies, bond with a buddy. Warmth and good vibes set the mood. Opportunities could show up to make some extra cash or meet new friends. Maybe, you could even ask that new kid out on a date. Enjoy the festivities, but don't overdo it.

Mar 10, 2002 10 AM(Mar 8, 2002 to Mar 11, 2002)Mars Sxtil Sat

If friends remark that you're unusually serious now, they're right! This influence offers a good formula for success if you're willing to work hard, keep organized, define your goals and stay on track. Your ambition is likely to be intensified as well as your will to succeed and grapple with even knotty problems. Parents, bosses, mentors -- people in power, support your goals.

Mar 10, 2002 3 PM(Mar 9, 2002 to Mar 11, 2002) Merc Sqr Plu

Go Zen. To navigate this intense labyrinth, you must keep your mental balance. Dark energies are surfacing! This is your chance to cleanse and purify yourself of mind gook. Keeping up a positive mental attitude now may be easier said than done. Nevertheless, it's your way out of heavy thoughts and attitudes that weigh on you at this time. Don't be a wus! You may feel it but don't act it out.

Suspicions about others only bear out if your mind is clear. Otherwise it's probable your problem comes from within. This is a helpful influence for self-discovery and understanding as long as your angle is positive. Dive into your heart and dig up a happy thought. Steer clear of brawls, especially with brothers, sisters, classmates and co-workers. Be careful driving.

Mar 13, 2002 7 PM(Mar 12, 2002 to Mar 14, 2002)Sun Sxtil Nep

This influence pumps up your imagination and your ability to see beyond, making this an inspirational time for artists, musicians, romantics, mystics and spiritual seekers. You might simply take in an interesting movie, write a poem or go star-gazing.

Mar 14, 2002 8 AM(Mar 13, 2002 to Mar 15, 2002)Merc Conj Merc

You mind is sharp, thoughts are clear, ideas roll off your tongue. A time for communication -- by phone, e-mail, letter or in person.

Mar 15, 2002 11 PM(Mar 15, 2002 to Mar 16, 2002)Merc Conj Sat

The thinker! You may feel the weight of responsibility upon your shoulders. A serious mind set has its place but why stress it? What you need now is mental discipline and a positive mental outlook. Maybe a sibling is getting in your way or your significant other didn't call. Tests could be stressing you. Use this time to look for answers and don't get too down on yourself. This won't last long! Hanging in there pays off!

Mar 16, 2002 11 AM(Mar 15, 2002 to Mar 17, 2002)Sun Sxtil Ura

Take a little trip, do something different! You may discover insights into day-to-day problems and into your psychology that will prove to be of great value later. A good time to study your astrology! A teaching you hear now or dream you experience could be a revelation. This is a positive influence for participating in group activities and for taking the lead. Tying into the Internet or some other computer related work may be on your menu.

Mar 17, 2002 8 PM(Mar 16, 2002 to Mar 19, 2002)Mars Sxtil Mars

A time of much energy and drive, perfect for starting something new or for taking care of business. Work those weights, run that mile, 'cause this is an opportune time to build up your body. If you're into action requiring military like discipline and stamina, do it now! Or maybe for you, the challenge is in winning over that special someone. Think positive and win!

Mar 18, 2002 6 PM(Mar 17, 2002 to Mar 19, 2002)Sun Trine Plu

Whether you're clearing out your closet or your brain, this is the time to get rid of what you don't really need. Focus on progress and self-improvement. You might make some important changes in your image.

Mar 19, 2002 3 AM(Mar 18, 2002 to Mar 20, 2002)Merc Conj Mars

This transit packs a punch! You're ready to make quick and sharp decisions. There's no doubt that you can get your point across. Right or wrong, others could find your comments too loaded. A discussion could easily turn into an argument. You're energized but avoid impulsive decisions and unnecessary risks. Not the time to snowboard the Himalayas!

None of your old selves may "fit" anymore. You may want to retreat to the Himalayas or some remote tropical island until this blows over! Strange compulsions, needs to control what may not be yours or to escape control. Your shadow self makes an appearance. Good advice may come from enemies and criticism from best friends- a world in reverse! The best way to come through this is to work hard on your communication skills while dodging the bullets! Pluto is the Roto-Rooter of the zodiac. It gets out the garbage. Afterwards you're so much lighter you hardly recognize your old self. Let go of what you don't need. Make room for the new you!

This influence will help you balance the big picture with the details. For example, if you want to apply for a job or go to school away from home, this is the time to plan it out and possibly to apply. Vacations, schoolwork and travel are all favored.

Mar 21, 2002 10 AM(Mar 20, 2002 to Mar 22, 2002) Ven Conj Ven

This time is called "the Venus Return." It represents an opportunity for enrichment in all love relationships. Go out and have a good time! Even if you're the shy type, find a way to benefit from this romantic energy. If you're prone to spoiling yourself, remember every rose has its thorns.

Mar 21, 2002 11 AM(Mar 20, 2002 to Mar 22, 2002)Mars Oppos Jup

Restlessness and defensiveness are the order of the day (yours as well as others). You're hard put not to let others cramp your style. Overtraining and cramming for final exams puts too much stress on a body all at once. Take things little by little to reach your larger goals. Not everyone sees things from your angle. Different strokes for different folks. Keep it real!

Mar 21, 2002 7 PM(Mar 21, 2002 to Mar 22, 2002)Merc Oppos MC

Juggling family obligations and school or career concerns could be tricky now. You may find your thought pattern almost completely opposite that of those in charge. It's going to take patience to get understanding. Parents and teachers may or may not agree with your plans. Take the time now to think about what it is you really want.

Mar 21, 2002 (Mar 21, 2002 to Apr 7, 2002) Merc 4th H.

Mercury in the house of the home and family: the mind gets inventive with the daily routine; the focus is on family these days.

You appear more charming and refined than usual. Now could be the time to make that date, apply for that job, or otherwise make yourself known.

Mar 22, 2002 5 PM(Mar 21, 2002 to Mar 23, 2002) Ven Sqr Moon

You're so sensitive now. No pouting allowed! You may actually be expressing hurts and insecurities left over from your childhood. All of which could lead to bingeing and misunderstandings. Get a grip! You can handle this one.

Mar 22, 2002 (Mar 22, 2002 to Apr 17, 2002) Ven 5th H.

Venus in the House of creative self-expression, romance and children: romantic opportunities or hedonism; connecting with the heart of a child; if you're gonna binge, beware of unwanted pregnancies and empty wallets.

Mar 23, 2002 1 AM(Mar 22, 2002 to Mar 24, 2002) Merc Sqr Asc

You're ready to brainstorm, but is the world ready for you? Blocks in communication are common under this influence. Instead of getting uptight, stay patient with anyone who doesn't seem to get your point. Gossip and meaningless chit-chat can make you lose your focus. Stick to what counts.

Mar 23, 2002 3 AM(Mar 22, 2002 to Mar 24, 2002)Merc Trine Moon

A good time to work on children's affairs or community events. You have a natural sense for communicating with others, especially those younger than yourself. Enjoy a chat with the family.

Mar 24, 2002 5 AM(Mar 22, 2002 to Mar 25, 2002)Mars Trine MC

This isn't the time to 'veg' out. Write down a couple of things you really want to accomplish and go for it. Positive Mars cycles don't necessarily finish the job, but they get you going with extra umph! One of your parents, a coach, boss or older person could be instrumental in inspiring you to make it happen.

Mar 25, 2002 8 PM(Mar 25, 2002 to Mar 26, 2002)Merc Sxtil Nep

You could spellbind your audience, get that date by pure persuasion, be at your most poetic! Imagination and creative thinking are enhanced by this aspect. It's easier than usual to express your feelings and explore the spiritual. At the very least, you'd enjoy a good book or movie.

Mar 26, 2002 3 PM(Mar 25, 2002 to Mar 27, 2002) Ven Sqr Nep

You're emotionally vulnerable now. A good time to get in tune with the wounded inner child who could threaten to run the show if you ignore him/her. You need to keep your vision clear. When emotions are "bigger" than the situation calls for, look within. An inner nerve is being tapped. Don't be carried away by infatuations.

Mar 27, 2002 7 AM(Mar 26, 2002 to Mar 28, 2002)Merc Sxtil Ura

Your mental genie is awake. Quick answers, great lines, and brilliant solutions are yours to command! This is the time to get your point across and be creative.

Mar 28, 2002 7 PM(Mar 27, 2002 to Mar 29, 2002) Ven Sqr Ura

This transit could bring nothing more than a whim for a tattoo or an itch for a body piercing. Blindness to potential consequences and non-sensitivity to the feelings of others later result in regrets. Be advised: be prepared to meet unexpected emotional urges and strong magnetic attractions. Could be fun, but know what you're getting into.

Mar 29, 2002 (Mar 27, 2002 to May 10, 2002) Mars 6th H.

Mars in the House of work, health, pets and habits: a lot of energy goes into your work or studies now; if stress bottles up, it may manifest as illness or conflicts with others; caution with occupational hazards.

Mar 30, 2002 5 AM(Mar 29, 2002 to Mar 31, 2002)Merc Conj Sun

You find yourself talkative and sharp today. A conversation with an older person, parent or someone in authority could be energizing and productive. A good time for scene hopping. Avoid getting too caught up in telephone calls and chit-chat.

Apr 3, 2002 2 PM(Apr 2, 2002 to Apr 5, 2002) Mars Trine Nep

The sage attains fulfillment through selfless action. The most constructive use of this energy is in helping or counseling other people. Some will seek enlightenment through the use of shadowy substances. Come up higher and tap your spiritual centers. Any kind of volunteer work related to hospitals or religious institutions is favored. This influence stimulates the imagination and is conducive toward creative writing, music, research, psychological and astrological investigation. Perhaps a fun time for enjoying water sports.

A great time for week-end trips and adventures, for taking in an interesting movie or going to a show. Or you could use this influence to enjoy delving into a favorite book or magazine. If you want to win someone's love, now's the time to impress them with your words. Give loved ones a call.

A positive aspect, especially if you're involved in the arts. A good time to select a new wardrobe or decorate your room. Sometimes old friendships and important relationships are rekindled during this time. It's easy to relate to employers and authority figures. There's a sense of mutual appreciation. Long term friendships or romances sometimes develop under this influence.

Apr 6, 2002 2 PM(Apr 5, 2002 to Apr 7, 2002) Sun Conj Ven

This transit is good for any kind of social activity as well as for shopping! If you're looking for a good day to throw a party, or to go out for dinner and the movies with a special friend, then this could be your day! Be careful not to blow all your cash --everything looks extra good today!

Apr 7, 2002 12 AM(Apr 6, 2002 to Apr 8, 2002) Merc Conj Ven

Today's the day to get together for coffee, go to that party, or simply chill with friends. If you're thinking of asking somebody out, go for it! Talk to people. This is a good time to pick out that cool outfit or deck your room out.

Apr 7, 2002 10 AM(Apr 5, 2002 to Apr 8, 2002) Mars Trine Ura

You're quick on your feet. A perfect time for new ideas, a breakthrough in thinking, a novel approach. If you've been restless for change, unless other major aspects strongly advise otherwise, this may be the time to take the leap!

Apr 7, 2002 5 PM(Apr 7, 2002 to Apr 8, 2002) Merc Trine Asc

You can really get your thoughts and ideas across. A good time for purchases and sales, and for asking someone out! A positive influence for job hunting.

Apr 7, 2002 6 PM(Apr 7, 2002 to Apr 8, 2002) Merc Sqr Moon

Watch out! Your emotions are getting in the way of your thinking! You could be impatient with younger kids, fed up with teachers! Try to keep in touch with your inner feelings. Stuff that happened in the past could resurface. To avoid getting into it with people, it's best not to revolve negative experiences in your mind.

Apr 7, 2002 (Apr 7, 2002 to Apr 23, 2002) Merc 5th H.

Mercury in the House of creative self-expression, romance, children: Valentine poems flow from the pen; all eyes on you, center stage; misunderstandings are possible.

Apr 8, 2002 5 AM(Apr 7, 2002 to Apr 9, 2002) Sun Sqr Moon

Get ready for clashes. That is, if you take yourself too seriously now. Even if your family or significant other is in your face, you can make it right if you try to understand. Your feelings could take you in one direction, your head in another. Don't be too hard on yourself. If you can't get all you want, settle for now for what you need.

Apr 8, 2002 (Apr 7, 2002 to May 10, 2002) Sun 5th H.

Sun in the House of romance, children and creative self-expression: show off your best colors!; find the real self and shine!

Apr 10, 2002 2 AM(Apr 9, 2002 to Apr 11, 2002) Merc Sqr Nep

Not the clearest of times. There is the danger of tripping over yourself here. For example, you could get too inside yourself or you could go the other way by getting too carried away with someone else's unrealistic ideas. If you're feeling confused or misunderstood, wait this one out. Absorb the inspirational vibes but guard against delusion. Watch out for the temptation to lie; even little white lies make karma! You could easily space things now. Lists are a must.

Apr 10, 2002 1 PM(Apr 9, 2002 to Apr 11, 2002)Ven Sxtil Mars

Happy days are here again! A good time to meet a friend for lunch, take in a movie, enjoy a little love. Anything you do may result in total charm, popularity, and great romance!

Apr 10, 2002 6 PM(Apr 9, 2002 to Apr 12, 2002)Mars Oppos Plu

The key word is power struggle! You could lose years of progress on the Path in five minutes of explosive anger. Regardless of circumstances that trigger your primal rage, own your problem and keep yourself in check. Taking things into your own hands can be dangerous. Unavoidable conflicts can work out better if you draw the line but maintain your harmony. Chill!

Apr 11, 2002 9 AM(Apr 10, 2002 to Apr 12, 2002) Merc Sqr Ura

You may feel weirded out today. You could find yourself changing your mind again and again. You might want to do something crazy. However, try not to go off half-baked. By pushing the limits, accidents can happen. Friends could prove to be unreliable, so it's okay to be picky. Speeding while driving is dangerous under this influence. Reckless behavior now could result in accidents.

Have a back up plan just in case you run into any unexpected interruptions to your routine due to computer malfunction, telephone interruptions, etc.

Apr 11, 2002 (Mar 31, 2002 to Apr 21, 2002) Sat Sqr Mars

Steel is tempered through trial by fire. The fatherly Saturn will test the mettle of your work as well as your willingness to accept criticism. Mentally prepare for potential confrontations with authorities, rules and regulations. Even an enemy can reveal sound advice. Look for the lesson, learn and move on.

Apr 12, 2002 3 PM(Apr 11, 2002 to Apr 13, 2002)Ven Oppos Jup

With moderation you can have a smashing good time! Easy there killer! Self-indulgence could end up costing more than you thought. Living beyond your means may not seem to matter today --- but tomorrow, the bills (and hang overs) inevitably arrive. Don't fall for unrealities or false feelings of security.

Apr 13, 2002 3 AM(Apr 12, 2002 to Apr 14, 2002) Sun Sqr Nep

Under Neptune's imaginative influence, you might be inspired to meditate, paint, listen to music, dance! Stretch your antenna, but beware! Neptune can cloud your vision with emotions almost unnoticeably, leaving you feeling confused, bummed or wiped out. This is certainly the case if you allow yourself to be enticed into a magic carpet ride into never-never land through getting stoned or drunk. Hold back now to have no regrets later. If you're feeling like pulling the covers over your head, try looking on the bright side of things. Much healing can happen now. Resist the temptation to wear your problems. Write down interesting ideas, poems, songs and symbolic dreams.

Apr 14, 2002 4 AM(Apr 13, 2002 to Apr 15, 2002) Ven Trine MC

You're feeling especially loving and harmonious right now. Your appreciation of the beautiful is heightened. You could be in the limelight, especially with superiors or in relation to your work.

Apr 15, 2002 4 AM(Apr 14, 2002 to Apr 16, 2002)Merc Sxtil Merc

You're juiced. You're quick. Get in the game! You'll have no problem getting your point across now. A great influence for any kind of competition, all sorts of games, plugging into the computer, and interfacing with others. Take advantage of this positive time to apply for jobs or schools, working things out or making plans with brothers, sisters, roommates, classmates and/or co-workers.

Apr 15, 2002 8 AM(Apr 13, 2002 to Apr 16, 2002)Mars Sxtil Sun

You could be at your assertive best! Take advantage of any extra energy and self-confidence to get your projects moving. Self-improvement programs, sports and energetic leadership are all favored. Get out there and do it!

Apr 15, 2002 8 PM(Apr 14, 2002 to Apr 16, 2002) Sun Sqr Ura

Watch out! Here's a fuse about to blow! Uranian squares bring in a lot of restlessness and can be very disruptive. Uranus is "The Awakener". You could receive a needed lesson but perhaps not in the packaging you'd prefer. Be humble. If you do feel riled up, take a jog or somehow deal with the energy. Sitting on it could lead to explosions. You may feel someone older or "the system" stifles your freedom. Or maybe you're impatient with protocol, legal glitches, and rules. Seek changes but avoid radical actions that cause unnecessary damage. Be nice to your vehicle and hi-tech equipment. This is a dangerous time to live on the edge. You might be challenged by friends.

Apr 16, 2002 2 AM(Apr 15, 2002 to Apr 17, 2002)Ven Sxtil Moon

Apr 16, 2002 10 AM(Apr 15, 2002 to Apr 17, 2002)Merc Sxtil Sat

It's time to get to business. Put your mind to work and take care of any details on your desk. Stuff you may have felt blocked on is easily resolved now. Take advantage of this clear frame of mind to turn in those job or school apps, meet with parents, employers or other authority figures. Need an extension on your paper deadline, a later curfew perhaps? Ask now!

Apr 16, 2002 (Mar 24, 2002 to Aug 17, 2002) Ura Sqr Plu

Your innermost demons are unchained to pursue their desires unhindered. You must muster the inner strength and courage to confront them at the gates of your soul. It helps to have a positive focus in your life, such as: a family member you love; a good friend; a coach and sports activity, or; a creative outlet. The important thing is to focus on the positives that you've had in your life in order to root out the negatives. Allowing the demons to pursue their weak appetites for drugs, sex and self-destruction gives them control, not you. So, don't let them have it. You, and you alone, are in charge of your destiny! Don't be afraid to make a stand for what's right in the face of what momentarily seems to be "cool".

Apr 17, 2002 (Apr 16, 2002 to May 10, 2002) Ven 6th H.

Venus in the House of health, work, studies and clothes: some new gear; getting along better with others at work or school; stoking your wardrobe; that special someone just might notice the difference!

Apr 19, 2002 12 AM(Apr 18, 2002 to Apr 20, 2002)Merc Sxtil Mars

You're sharp today. You say what you mean and mean what you say. It's easier to talk about your feelings, write up those school or business strategies. Get those projects in motion now while you've got the steam! A good time to work out or pump up. If you're into sports or competition, make this one a win! You might enjoy a short trip.

Apr 19, 2002 2 AM(Apr 17, 2002 to Apr 20, 2002)Mars Sqr Merc

Forecast calls for electrically charged mental atmosphere potentially culminating in braindrains, serious debates, regrettable arguments and accidents. How to keep the querulous ego from ruining the fruits of a razor sharp mind? The Laughing Buddha finds happiness by not taking himself too seriously.

Apr 20, 2002 1 AM(Apr 19, 2002 to Apr 21, 2002)Ven Trine Nep

Apr 20, 2002 8 AM(Apr 19, 2002 to Apr 21, 2002)Merc Oppos Jup

Bring any plans and promises down to scale before making a commitment. Chances are you're seeing the big picture and feeling good, but might overlook the details. Try not to overdo things. Your ideas are large but take the time to listen to what others have to say.

Apr 21, 2002 8 AM(Apr 20, 2002 to Apr 22, 2002)Merc Trine MC

This is a good time to think about where you're going and what you want to do. Your ability to tune in to your future possibilities is definitely enhanced now. If it's appropriate, share your vision with those who could support you.

Apr 22, 2002 9 PM(Apr 21, 2002 to Apr 24, 2002) Mars Sqr Sat

Relax. This is not an easy time. Your own drive and emotions are hard set against the way things are, your particular set of realities. Push on too strong now and you risk breaking something. Be patient, and let this one blow over. If you're disciplined and can tie in to the core of this square responsibly, a white hot fusion reactor of energy will be available to you for constructive long-term accomplishment.

Apr 23, 2002 (Apr 22, 2002 to June 30, 2002) Merc 6th H.

Mercury in the House of health, work, studies and clothes: accessorize to maximize!; career advancement training, opportunities to improve; criticism kills the spirit.

Apr 24, 2002 12 AM(Apr 22, 2002 to Apr 25, 2002)Sun Sxtil Merc

The creative juices are flowing. Maximize on this optimum time for planning, writing, and schoolwork. You may find yourself more talkative and involved than usual. This is a positive influence for dialoging with older persons, teachers, employers or people in charge. You shouldn't have any trouble getting your point across!

Apr 24, 2002 2 AM(Apr 23, 2002 to Apr 25, 2002)Ven Oppos Plu

Intense interpersonal battles often occur under this influence. You could be tempted to be unfaithful or to enter into dishonest dealings. Pluto/Venus contacts tend to stimulate selfish attitudes. Arguments and power struggles, particularly related to money and sex are common. Diplomacy, rather than control tactics, is advised. In sports, fair play is a must. Avoid all temptation to enter into dishonest dealings.

Apr 25, 2002 12 PM(Apr 24, 2002 to Apr 26, 2002)Merc Trine Nep

Apr 26, 2002 4 PM(Apr 25, 2002 to Apr 27, 2002)Ven Sxtil Sun

A warm breeze caresses your heart. It's easy to be good to yourself and others. Share your feelings. A great influence for artists, musicians and entertainers. Love relationships formed under this aspect can often be built to last.

Your mental genie is awake. Quick answers, great lines, and brilliant solutions are yours to command! This is the time to get your point across and be creative.

Apr 28, 2002 6 PM(Apr 27, 2002 to Apr 29, 2002) Ven Sqr Merc

All work and no play makes for a dull day. Hopefully, you don't have urgent business to attend to so you can hang out. A great time for contemplation. Help your head work with your heart; be caring and loving.

Apr 28, 2002 6 PM(Apr 28, 2002 to Apr 29, 2002)Merc Oppos Plu

Be careful not to come across like the Terminator! Or the Terminator could be waiting for you! Power struggles are a potential under this influence. Seriously though, try to realize that getting your point across isn't a matter of life and death. Take it easy. Use this energy to figure out what's up, but be willing to listen to others.

Apr 30, 2002 1 PM(Apr 29, 2002 to May 2, 2002) Mars Sqr Mars

Unless you can "meet the square" and use the energy constructively, it's best to wait this one out. Don't try to push too hard. You're only fighting yourself. Watch out for a self-centered attitude that says might is right. Remember that on the Path it's not so much what happens to you but rather how you react that so often means the difference between passing or failing.

Apr 30, 2002 8 PM(Apr 30, 2002 to May 1, 2002) Ven Sqr Sat

This is not an easy time. You could feel unappreciated and unloved. You can't always get what you want. What's keeping you from getting the love you need? You get what you give but practice "heart smarts." First of all, recognize what's good in you. Then, even if you don't feel like it, go into your heart. Bring up memories of good times you've had. Replace negative feelings with good vibes.

May 1, 2002 5 AM(Apr 30, 2002 to May 2, 2002)Merc Sxtil Sun

May 2, 2002 12 AM(Apr 30, 2002 to May 3, 2002)Sun Sxtil Mars

A good time to get things done. Good eye-hand coordination and steady effort make almost any job doable. If you don't get out and do something, all this energy could drive you nuts! How about at least hitting the gym to blow off some steam?

May 3, 2002 11 AM(May 2, 2002 to May 4, 2002) Merc Sqr Merc

Don't allow yourself to be pressured into making decisions you're not clear on as yet. You could be dealing with a build-up of mental tension and nervous energy. Whatever it is that's bothering you, don't fight the power! It's okay. Give yourself some time to figure out answers and chill if the answers come slowly now. Sometimes car problems crop up under this influence so check your oil.

May 3, 2002 (Apr 27, 2002 to May 9, 2002)Jup Trine Mars

Sense the trends to make the right moves! Opportunities for advancement arise. Ambition and drive are strong now. This transit is fabulous for sports; you've got plenty of energy and you're set to win! Long distant trips could be a blast! If you're working, consider if this is the right time to ask for that raise. If you're still at home, even your allowance might improve. A time to learn and by learning to grow.

May 4, 2002 3 PM(May 3, 2002 to May 5, 2002) Sun Oppos Jup

Even with the best of intentions, you could paint yourself into a corner if you get too excited and give or promise more than you really should or can. You may feel like the best thing since sliced bread these days, but unfortunately, not everyone agrees. It's too easy to get into arguments over beliefs. Live and let live! Not to worry, others will let you know when you're getting too conceited! Don't be a user -- you could end up a loser!

May 5, 2002 3 AM(May 4, 2002 to May 6, 2002) Ven Sqr Mars

You want to express a lot of love energy. Your sense of values could be in conflict with your feelings. Think through your actions before jumping into it. After all, if you dive into a pool before you check the depth, you could hit your head. Never put yourself down in the name of love.

May 6, 2002 7 AM(May 5, 2002 to May 7, 2002) Merc Sqr Sat

You could be too hard on yourself and on others these days. A heavy workload, difficult circumstances or bad weather could make you feel out of it. Try to remember every cloud has a touch of gray. Any important decision making or problem solving now is going to require centeredness and patience. You could easily feel irritated by siblings, roommates, schoolmates and/or co-workers. Serious discussions may take place. Confirm appointments. Guard your health. If you can work with this, the sun will come out and turn your gray to gold!

May 6, 2002 2 PM(May 5, 2002 to May 7, 2002) Sun Trine MC

You're sitting pretty, so take charge and show how good you can really be! Interactions with employers, principals, parents or others important to you are highly favored.

May 7, 2002 5 AM(May 5, 2002 to May 8, 2002) Mars Sqr MC

Circumstances at home or at school or work could be testy. Ego clashes are common. Tune into the power within your heart for settling disputes. Look for win-win solutions.

May 8, 2002 7 AM(May 6, 2002 to May 9, 2002) Mars Sxtil Ven

There's a basic drive to appreciate and taste life. This could be the time to get that new look! Desires are strong, and you could hook up with someone really special. If nothing's happening in the romance department, well, at very least enjoy a special time with your buds. Artists and other creative people should take advantage of this inspirationally stimulating influence.

If you meet this square successfully, you could spend an enjoyable, even stimulating few days with someone special. However, if you feel yourself put down in relation to someone else, this shows that you need to work on your basic self-esteem. Cash flow issues could cut into plans. You may be obligated to attend events you'd rather avoid.

May 8, 2002 11 PM(May 7, 2002 to May 10, 2002)Sun Sxtil Moon

The world is looking friendly right now. You should be able to figure out even tough problems. Take advantage of this positive breeze to seek answers and work things out.

Mars in the House of Relationships: terms of endearment; a time to smooth out problems with your lover and close friends; compromise may be necessary to strike an agreeable balance.

May 10, 2002 10 AM(May 8, 2002 to May 11, 2002)Mars Oppos Asc

Beware! This transit almost always brings you into conflict with others. As Mars enters your house of important relationships and open enemies, interpersonal differences can easily become ignited, turning into WAR!!! The only way out is through the heart. Be considerate of others, but know that people will do what they will do. Strengthen your inner reserves.

May 10, 2002 (May 9, 2002 to June 2, 2002) Ven 7th H.

This is a good time influence, so go for it! Dress up and go out because this is the time to get connected. Long term, this means you could be on a gloriously adventurous trip, finish off a decent semester, or experience an inner expansion of consciousness. Short term, this may mean a lucky encounter, some extra bucks or a burst of vitality. Enjoy!

May 19, 2002 2 AM(May 18, 2002 to May 20, 2002)Sun Oppos Plu

This transit tends to provoke conflicts. For some, the challenge is going to be to stand up for your beliefs; for others, the challenge will be to keep your mouth shut! Mutual understanding is the only solution, but harmonious interchanges may not be in the cards for the time being. Sometimes Pluto exposes something you'd rather not see but from which you can't hide. Steer clear of fights.

May 20, 2002 (May 12, 2002 to May 28, 2002) Sat Sqr MC

This transit forces your attention on the backbone areas of life; yourself, your close relationships, your family, your work and responsibilities. Conflicts are almost inevitable but show you places crying out for attention. Centeredness is the key or you may feel overstressed or tempted to get out of Dodge. Saturn cycles are growing cycles where you acquire important keys for mastering your connection with others and with the world.

May 21, 2002 12 PM(May 20, 2002 to May 22, 2002) Ven Sqr Sun

You're worth it! In case you're wondering, the universe loves you but you have to meet it half way. As long as you're not too into yourself and overly sensitive, you can have fun. Restraint today could mean riches gained tomorrow.

May 22, 2002 9 AM(May 21, 2002 to May 23, 2002)Sun Sxtil Sun

This feeling good influence should give you a real boost! Be creative! Get out there! Stress levels are relatively low so take advantage of this time to get your schedule organized or figure out your plans. There's good energy for dealing with parents, teachers, people in charge.

Harsh words are possible with a brother or sister, an authority figure, a parent, teacher or an older person. Instead of getting angry or down on yourself or someone else, listen to your own thoughts, and be willing to admit mistakes. You can learn a lot from taking in what others have to say.

Years of effort testing, working and hoping for the right combination now pay off. Jackpot! Friendships and love relationships formed under this influence may be lifetime ties and could last for many years. Your image matures now, as does your heart. An excellent cycle to put some cash into stable financial investments. All else being equal, the moment is ripe to approach parents, teachers and employers. Use this time to resolve any outstanding old hurts, debts, disputes or legal problems.

Jupiter in the House of sex, financial transactions, spiritual regeneration, the deep and mysterious: $$ may come your way; how to handle it is the test; healing at a deep level possible; spiritual regeneration; psychic experiences.

May 27, 2002 5 PM(May 26, 2002 to May 28, 2002) Sun Sqr Sat

Saturn, sometimes called "The Great Teacher", is testing you. Psychological attitudes or situational happenings block the flow. Responsibilities pile up. Clashes with parents and authorities are possible. While some might choose to sit this one out, you can make this influence work for you. If you feel overwhelmed, determine your priorities and tackle each situation one by one. Look at the glass as half full instead of half empty. Patience is a powerful key. Don't force things.

May 28, 2002 (May 23, 2002 to June 2, 2002) Jup Sxtil MC

Your insights into yourself and your psychology should pay off now as increased self-confidence. Opportunities open up that allow you to take important leaps ahead. You can multiply potential gain during this cycle by exercising a positive and creative mental attitude.

May 30, 2002 3 AM(May 29, 2002 to May 31, 2002)Ven Trine Mars

Happy days are here again! A good time to meet a friend for lunch, take in a movie, enjoy a little love. Anything you do may result in total charm, popularity, and great romance!

May 30, 2002 4 AM(May 28, 2002 to May 31, 2002) Mars Sqr Sun

Keeping your cool, even under pressure, pays off big now. Blowing it could do more damage than you think. People are under stress, so try not to take things so personally. Feeling good about yourself is the key to keeping the peace. Think before you react.

June 1, 2002 (May 27, 2002 to June 6, 2002) Jup Sqr Ven

Staying faithful to just one person could make you feel boxed in or limited now. You're more inclined to play the field. If you're already involved with a special someone, you might even unintentionally hurt those you love best. If you tend to be too uptight, perhaps this influence will help you loosen up. But if the opposite is true, you'd best take it easy with spending, drinking and other pleasurable pursuits. A manana consciousness leaves you dulled out in your mental hammock. "Saying no" isn't easy. Get a grip! Pull in the reins.

June 2, 2002 3 AM(June 1, 2002 to June 3, 2002) Sun Sqr Mars

You're feeling exceptionally sure of yourself. Use this positive charge to get a lot accomplished. This a good time to push through important projects, apply for a job, or set out to win in any competition.

The down side is that your fuse is likely to be short now. Guard against impatience and irritation, and you'll make the goal Jordan style. But watch out, 'cause little things could get you mad. Being pushy with members of the opposite sex is not going to go over well now. Obviously, if you're edgy, this is not a particularly good time for approaching parents and other authorities. Carelessness, anger and frustration can result in accidents. To handle this overload, physically working out, sports, or dancing could help you blow off some steam.

June 2, 2002 (June 1, 2002 to June 27, 2002) Ven 8th H.

Venus in the House of sex, financial transactions, spiritual regeneration, the deep and mysterious: Sex and money count for plenty now - maybe too much. Here is desire, charisma ... maybe even obsession. Money matters and investments are a focus. If you're gonna splurge, know the worth of what you're buying before you empty out your pockets.

June 2, 2002 9 PM(June 2, 2002 to June 3, 2002) Ven Sxtil MC

You're feeling especially loving and harmonious right now. Your appreciation of the beautiful is heightened. You could be in the limelight, especially with superiors or in relation to your work.

June 3, 2002 12 PM(June 2, 2002 to June 4, 2002) Ven Sqr Ven

Chances are you're very touchy now. You could feel unloved or be unloving. You could feel lonely or confused about a relationship. This is good time to get in touch with your heart. The only lasting happiness comes from within! Don't blow your cash on stuff you may not really want tomorrow.

June 4, 2002 7 PM(June 3, 2002 to June 5, 2002)Ven Conj Moon

You're sensitive to others' needs. Have a good time surrounding yourself with friends and younger people. Someone may come to you with a problem. You may share their tears, but don't drown in them. Partying and shopping feel good. Respect your limits.

June 6, 2002 (May 29, 2002 to June 13, 2002)Sat Oppos Asc

Under this influence, relationships may end or be reexamined. Enemies tend to become more vocal in opposing you. On a good note, you're starting off on a seven year journey of consolidated social success.

June 6, 2002 (May 29, 2002 to Sep 1, 2003) Sat 7th H.

Saturn in the House of relationships: even when love seems certain, Saturn will put important relationships to the test; experience teaches you the art of balancing what you want from others and what they demand of you; trust is built on doing what you say you will; don't second-guess others, know the score before giving away your love; lessons related to romances formed now may be painful but valuable; you may have to confront your enemies -- tact could be your best friend; the beginning of your climb to the top deals with learning to handle many one on one situations; stay centered in the heart and you can only win!.

June 6, 2002 6 PM(June 5, 2002 to June 7, 2002) Sun Sqr MC

You may be looking for answers in the basic areas of life: relationships, home, school, future. But if you come on too strong now, others might react and you could feel frustrated as a result. Or you may need a boost of self-confidence to get others to help facilitate your plans now.

June 8, 2002 (June 3, 2002 to June 13, 2002)Jup Conj Moon

You could receive deep insights into your own feelings and inner, spiritual nature during this cycle. A time when support and recognition could come from family. If need be, this is a positive time to move, relocate or rearrange your space. Your greatest danger lies in acting impulsively without considering the consequences of your actions. An acute sense of justice brings out a natural bent for settling disputes and for mediating conflicts. All else being equal, you should receive the cash you need, especially for school or travel. You'd make a great host at any party!

June 8, 2002 10 PM(June 8, 2002 to June 9, 2002)Ven Oppos Nep

This Neptune transit could signify serving others through devotion and love. But be aware, due to impracticality and foolish idealism (yours or theirs or both!), others could disappoint you. They could simply exasperate your patience through inappropriate behavior, extravagance, false promises, lies or forgetfulness. It's tempting to dream of impossible loves; the gullible could be taken for a ride. Stay centered and keep your energies at the level of the heart or above. Make it a point to be honest and aboveboard with others. Don't believe everything you hear.

June 9, 2002 1 AM(June 7, 2002 to June 10, 2002)Sun Oppos Asc

You feel sociable now and may be thinking about how you come across. Be prepared to stand your ground if someone challenges your sense of identity. Trying to settle disputes now will require real diplomacy. Keep centered in your heart.

June 9, 2002 (June 7, 2002 to July 7, 2002) Sun 7th H.

Sun in the House of relationships: a new romance, friendship, or a busy time; confrontations mirror something within you.

June 11, 2002 4 AM(June 10, 2002 to June 12, 2002)Ven Oppos Ura

You might attract some weird new friends or have an exciting time clubbing. But be aware that romantic attractions formed now are probably infatuations! Acting on feelings rather than on values often leads to sexual promiscuity and compulsive behavior, potentially with disastrous results. THE ASTROLOGER GENERAL'S WARNING: blowing off common sense and rationality may lead to nights in jail, betrayed friendships and unexpected pregnancies.

Surf the South Seas, climb Mt. McKinley. Anything seems possible now! You're in the flow and everything's alright. So work it! A good time for buying a car and for traveling to Cancun. Negotiate the price down. Maxing your credit card out could be tempting.

June 22, 2002 5 PM(June 21, 2002 to June 23, 2002)Sun Sqr Sun

Challenges that seem to get in your way are really testing your self-confidence. If you feel good about yourself and others, the worst that can happen is that your friends or teachers tell you to get over yourself. Adults or circumstances keep you from doing what you want to do and this could be frustrating. To avoid frustration, do what you have to do so you can do what you want to do!

June 22, 2002 9 PM(June 21, 2002 to June 24, 2002)Mars Sqr Ven

It's hard to be alone and it's hard to love. It hurts when you're sad and it hurts when you're close. It's time to feel it, time to work it out. Just close your eyes, dear...memories of betrayal and of ecstasy. You're turned on, just don't turn your best friend off by coming on too strong. All the love you need is right where you are...

June 23, 2002 (May 15, 2002 to Nov 24, 2002) Plu Sqr MC

Your relationships (partnerships, lovers) are now very intense and ever-so-personal. In fact, they are capable of transforming and challenging you at the most basic level. A time for growth through other people, the social life.

June 25, 2002 6 AM(June 24, 2002 to June 26, 2002)Merc Sqr Mars

Master the challenge of this square and you may find you have the right answers at the right time! But you could be irritable and easily set off. While you may have legitimate complaints, think about the way you package your words if you want positive results. If you use your tongue like a weapon, be prepared to handle the return artillery! Getting ticked off sets you up for a fall. Remember, anything you say could be used against you! Strategize and put your energy into your work. It'll pay off. Caution advised while traveling.

June 25, 2002 7 AM(June 23, 2002 to June 26, 2002)Mars Conj Moon

A testy time for most people. This is because Mars is stirring up emotional vibrations that aren't easy to deal with and which cause you to take things personally. Are you reacting with childlike emotions (i.e.. a tantrum)? They may have made sense when you were a kid but get in the way of your adult relationships. Family quarrels, discord and arguments over petty issues are common and result in hurt feelings. Determine to rise above such clashes. Objectivity is the key.

June 26, 2002 8 PM(June 25, 2002 to June 27, 2002)Ven Sqr Jup

Not a time to follow impulses or overindulge desires. The things you know are best may not jive with what you feel like doing. Some self-restraint allows for fun and pays off big tomorrow. Resist the temptation to buy stuff you really don't need or can't afford.

June 27, 2002 (June 26, 2002 to July 25, 2002) Ven 9th H.

Venus in the House of travel, higher education and philosophy: adventure is fun, but not necessarily profitable; school could be on hold to pursue a hot romance or attend a spiritual retreat.

June 30, 2002 (June 29, 2002 to July 15, 2002)Merc 7th H.

Mercury in the House of relationships: meetings of the minds, the fun of agreeing to disagree; examine carefully before committing.

June 30, 2002 9 AM(June 29, 2002 to July 1, 2002)Ven Trine Asc

You appear more charming and refined than usual. Now could be the time to make that date, apply for that job, or otherwise make yourself known.

July 1, 2002 (June 26, 2002 to July 5, 2002)Jup Oppos Nep

Your higher sense of who you are and the nature of your everyday existence are opposed to one another. How to be in the world but not of the world? Finishing everyday tasks --homework, chores, a job -- is hard. You're searching for a philosophy that will put it all together. Beware, you can be detoured now by your illusions about life as well as your delusions about how you would like things to be!

Party tools, heavy music and tobacco are tempting teachers. If you can't turn off the switch at will, the path is false. Map out a plan for tomorrow and choose a path that will get you where you need to go. You may feel toward someone like you've never felt before. Old wounds open. Fantasies are revealed. Yet if you look to others to work out your dreams, your bubble could burst and leave you wondering what happened. Keep attuned to your soul. You can discover a lot about yourself now.

July 2, 2002 8 PM(July 1, 2002 to July 4, 2002)Mars Oppos Nep

Neptune is your connection to the unseen worlds, your data line to the Muses. Great artists and musicians thrive in the hit charts and physical media but resemblance to reality is tenuous. Escape into sex, drugs, alcoholism and the delusions of denial leave one fighting for air. Mommy and Daddy won't always be there. Have fun, but use your brain. Someday, you'll have to make a living with it. Unpleasant events or emotions, the results of past actions may appear on the screen of your life. Your impulse may be to run and hide or play the victim, but it's best to face such times head on. If it doesn't sit well with your heart, don't do it!

Explosive arguments could lead to you going your own way when someone or something tries to confine you. You could feel that your sense of independence and freedom is being challenged. Nevertheless, when the heat of the moment passes, you could regret sorely impulsive actions. Pull in the reins on impatience and compulsive urges, especially with friends or in group situations. You're subject to sudden changes and disruptive events which can be extremely stressful. Keep centered and make room in your schedule and budget for the unexpected. Even hard changes sometimes lead to liberation from restrictive circumstances. Car-ma (Karma) can be intense now.

July 7, 2002 (July 6, 2002 to Aug 7, 2002) Sun 8th H.

Sun in the House of sex, financial transactions, spiritual regeneration and the deep and mysterious: the kind heart sees beneath the surface; a stinging attitude reveals pain.

July 8, 2002 1 AM(July 7, 2002 to July 9, 2002) Merc Sqr Sun

You may have a hard time getting across right now. Ego conflicts get in the way of effective communication. Arguments are possible with an authority figure or someone older than yourself. Handle the nervous energy and watch your mouth, and you could discover at the end of this period that you've gotten a lot done.

July 8, 2002 5 AM(July 7, 2002 to July 9, 2002) Sun Sxtil MC

You're sitting pretty, so take charge and show how good you can really be! Interactions with employers, principals, parents or others important to you are highly favored.

July 8, 2002 11 PM(July 7, 2002 to July 10, 2002) Sun Sqr Ven

Chances are you feel like taking it easy today. It could be hard gearing up if you've work to do. It's easy to overeat, overspend, or get over involved. Especially if you eat a lot of sweets, you could be crabby and emotional, unreasonably demanding or moody with close friends and family. Older persons could be put off by your clothes or hairstyle. On the up side, this influence can inspire you to perfect art and music projects if you're willing to take the time and make the effort.

July 10, 2002 3 PM(July 9, 2002 to July 11, 2002)Sun Conj Moon

A favorable time for hanging out at home, spending time with your family. If your emotional reactions surprise you, it's because the Sun is shedding light on your feelings (Moon). Buried emotions surface.

So you say you want a revolution! Every group has its celebrated cause. Fanatical pursuit of the mission often results in hurt for all involved. Better to pursue change in yourself before looking to change the world. Anarchy and living dangerously leaves behind smoke and ashes. Tolerance lets everyone create their own space while harming none. Get with the American way; each one's right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Promise only that which you can deliver and be wary of those who talk big but don't come through.

July 14, 2002 3 AM(July 13, 2002 to July 15, 2002)Ven Oppos Merc

Your sentiments and the ideas (or communication) of another could clash. What they say may seem rude or be unappreciated. But if you're willing to really listen to others, great dialogue can result. Put a hold on gossip and meaningless conversation. A good time to let others know you appreciate them.

You could be tempted to buy fancy stuff you really don't need. If this happens, it could be a sign that you need to bring your head together with your heart! Stay away from gossip.

Neptune fog alert! In close relationships you could be seeing what you want to see rather than what's really there. Your expectations in another could be unrealistic and you could be disappointed when they don't come through. You could be easily misled. Watch out for the users! If you dote on your problems, it's easy to feel sorry for yourself. Lasting only a few days, you could float this one out. Nevertheless, drinking, drugs, meaningless or dangerous sex and other escape routes could leave you with more than a hang over! This transit often shows up in cases of unwanted or unplanned pregnancies! At best, a time for reflection, for understanding self and others, and for seeking spiritual themes in the way you relate.

You could feel unappreciated now. Someone important or in authority may oppose your values and put a damper on your desires. Your feelings could tell you something about your relationship to your father. Ask yourself if there's something to learn from all this. This is a test. This is only a test! Rather than blaming others, try to be understanding. Tap into the inner strength within your heart. Old flames may reappear on the scene; take your time to find out if your past is part of your future.

July 16, 2002 10 AM(July 15, 2002 to July 17, 2002)Merc Conj Moon

You're full of thoughts and ideas that you want to express. This could be a busy time of visits and conversations. Even time with brothers and sisters, cousins or other relatives could be fun. Your emotions could, however, take over your head and make it hard to think clearly.

July 18, 2002 12 PM(July 17, 2002 to July 19, 2002)Sun Oppos Ura

Under this influence, you're apt to feel extremely restless, unwilling to take orders or listen to advice. It's going to take Herculean strength to deal with situations or relationships that you think stifle you without simply breaking loose. Even if you feel cool, calm and collected (an ideal now), someone close to you could be demanding and irrational. All of which could result in arguments and strife. Avoid ultimatums in relationships. You could regret it later when this short influence passes. Be willing to work with changes, however, whose time has come.

Dense mindset alert!! Watch out, for Neptunian fog can lead you astray. The potential here can lead towards good or bad. You're in tune with parts of yourself that are usually blocked off. Center yourself. Experience what is offered to the fullest but don't succumb to cop-outs. Enjoy the music but don't crash yourself listening to the enchantment. Getting wasted or high will only result in missing the message. Watch out for the temptation to lie; even little white lies make karma! Be aware of the possibility that others could be less than honest with you.

Get the most out of this cycle by tuning in to higher spheres through music, meditation, spiritual musing. Search for real answers by unlocking your own inner potential.

Don't tweek! Just because your brain had its Wheaties this morning, doesn't mean every one else has! You could be impatient with lesser and supposedly denser mortals who don't get your wit but feel put off by your tongue! You could come up with some very exciting ideas now. If you can handle the high charged energy, a great time to experiment with science, astrology, computers.

You could be very impatient with others. This is because Uranus brings you extra mental energy. Use it creatively but handle with care. Reckless words and actions now could lead to accidents or quits you later regret.

You love 'em and you hate 'em. You're so turned on you're almost torn up! Under this magnetic influence, you could be attracted to almost anyone. Have fun but be careful! A lot of unplanned pregnancies and broken hearts happen this way. You might have to deal with jealousies, anger, strong sexual urges. Navigate from the heart.

This is about using spirituality or a philosophy of life to make important personal changes in your life. This is the time to cut through the crap and forge ahead. Some could begin what amounts to a spiritual quest! You could be so into what you're doing, that you forget that not everybody is so psyched at finding the Grail!

You could be in the limelight, especially with superiors or in relation to your work. You may find that you enjoy your job or the responsibility it entails more than usual.

Venus in House of career, reputation and elders: connections take you to the top; an older person sponsors you; know your worth.

Seek balance in interpersonal interactions. Venus problems like bingeing and making waves affect your public image. So stay cool and keep the styles close to the vest!
