OCTOBER 2008
Zodiac Mood of the MonthThe influences look deceptively calm and straightforward in October unlike the tumultuous Uranus Pluto aspects of the previous three months, but the unsettled ripples will extend on. A tough Mars Pluto on the 2nd should get certain tricky situations under control. Mars then moves into determined Scorpio for a few weeks hinting real persistence will be needed especially over financial matters. The Jupiter squares on the 6th will probably lift spirits but could also indicate that high hopes could come tumbling down. Best be cautious than over optimistic. A lack lustre Sun Neptune trine mid month will drift life along for a day or so. Then Mercury goes direct after the 15th which will help, with Venus bouncing into adventurous Sagittarius out of intensely emotional Scorpio, so the mood will lighten. The 22nd will exert some control in a positive way. After the 23rd the Sun joins Mars in Scorpio which will renew the push to sort out confidential and joint financial matters with real good luck around on the 27th as Mars sextiles Jupiter. The final day could be scratchy however with sudden surprises from Mars Uranus, a feeling of no compromise and rather a lot of effort required from Mars Saturn.

NOVEMBER 2008
Zodiac Mood of the Month
The first of the exact Saturn opposition Uranus influences picks up on the 4th, returning backwards and forwards for a year ahead, which usually indicates jolting changes and is one of the significators for economic downturns. Neptune also squares the Scorpio Mars on the 4th as well which is panicky and confused. It will be a roller coaster month since there's good luck and relief from tension around the 10th and 13th. But there's also a low energy Sun Neptune square on the 10th. So there's good news and not so great. Mars then zips into fiery Sagittarius after the 16th making for some heated debates but giving a generally lighter feel. Stability comes from the Jupiter Saturn trine on the 20th. After which the Sun and Mercury also leap happily out of Scorpio into optimistic Sagittarius for the remainder of the month. Then the key moment comes as Pluto moves finally and firmly into Capricorn for a stay of 16 years bringing a definite shift in the general mood - a determination to get a grip of all practical and financial matters.

| Sun |   | |
| Mercury | | |
| Venus | | |
| Mars | | |
| Jupiter | | In Capricorn from December 18th 2007 to January 5th 2009 brings a focus on materialism and good for ambitions, money, status. Then into Aquarius for a year bringing a friendly, more tolerant mood. |
| Saturn | | In Virgo from September 3rd 07 for two and a half years = hard working, though also worries about employment, serious about health. |
| Uranus | | In Pisces December 2003 till 2010/2011 = revelations and new insights into creativity, spiritual beliefs and psychology, disinclination to face difficulties. Operates like Uranus transitting the 12th house so psychological upsets, surprises which bring anxieties, no deeper understanding of causes of events. |
| Neptune | | In Aquarius 1998 till 2012 = supposedly about enlightened humanitarianism and the universal brotherhood of man, though more likely bringing uncertainty about the future, old scientific attitudes being undermined, social values being eroded. |
| Pluto | | From January 2008 into Capricorn for sixteen years = complete deconstruction and reconstruction of global economic and commercial structures and systems, as well as major changes in way in which governments work. In past times of Pluto in Capricorn (approximately every 250 years) there was territorial domination on a grand scale by charismatic leaders and ultimately a time of culture, learning, justice and prosperity. Reverses briefly back into Sagittarius from mid June 08 to late November 08 which brings up strong views, religious intolerance, arguments about education, difficulties travelling long distance, self righteousness - everything we've seen since the mid 1990s. Thereafter it stays in Capricorn till 2024. |
