“wanted to ask you a question… what do you think of a students pluto on the teachers north node means?”
Pluto is all about power, big business and transformation. The North Node represents the direction of one’s destiny or life purpose.
This combo would give the student some significant power over the teacher! There may be a sexual attraction (?) OR a power struggle – or BOTH. On some level the student is helping the teacher to ‘evolve’ in a way that they need to. This may not be pleasant for the teacher and could be like dynamite to some area of the teachers life. It’s intense for the student too, and possibly life-changing. Be careful – this is a profound confrontation with issues of power for the student as well as the teacher and something compulsive or obsessive could be the result.
Sex is the most common manifestation of these kinds of connections, but other things are possible too, like the development of a business (especially a big one, or one related to power, transformation or intensity).
Other than that, I’d have to see the whole picture to give a full overview, but this could be (and probably will be) a student-teacher relationship to remember and one that can make a mark on both people’s lives forever.
Financial Astrology is the real truth of this planet, and yet, the debate over Pluto rages on; Is it a planet, isn’t it a planet, is it a ‘dwarf’ planet, is it smaller than Eris, is it bigger than Eris. OK guys (Astronomers I mean), we know you all want to compare the size of what’s in your pants, but leave the Solar System out of it will ya.
Financial Astrology and Pluto
Pluto - Financial Astrology
Financial Astrology makes use of the Dwarf Planet.
It doesn’t really matter who has a bigger package – or what the Astronomers of the world want to call Pluto. None of us like to be labeled. And if you interview 100 women you will find that 90 out of 100 will agree that size isn’t the most important thing. The finances on the other hand, are more important which is where the financial Astrology of Pluto comes into play. Wikipedia has a good definition here. Which is a nice overview of what financial astrology is all about.
In financial Astrology we make use of the planets to predict trends, changes and find opportunities for ourselves. Finacial Astrology can also provide amazing insight into how we share what we have with other people – and why. Astrologically speaking, Pluto is the planet of subconscious “ID” desires as Freud would like to describe it. In true Freudian fashion, Pluto is all about the sex drives as well as the desire for power, control and domination – which often translates into the world of finances and Financial Astrology. Pluto is no lightweight by any measure – and even though he may be light compared to the other objects in our solar system, he packs a pretty good punch.
Pluto is also responsible for our collective unconscious and the drives that effect it as well as the merging of ourselves with others in not just the sex act, but also how we work together to get our needs met. He governs things like stocks, bonds and the use of money as well as shared resources, which is why he is useful in financial astrology. He’s a pretty important player on the stage of life, and right now, with our current financial world woes, I would have to say he’s most definitely making his presence felt. It is probably the movement of Pluto more than any other planet that has had a huge impact on the world finances – thus proving his usefulness in Financial Astrology.
So, when all is said and done, the Pluto in your Astrology Chart doesn’t really care if he’s a planet, a dwarf, an Oort belt object or a pink cupcake with frosting. He just makes sure that you know all about power, passion and the depths of your unconscious mind. He also has a major impact on ALL financial matters (financial astrology), and this current debate about weather or not he exists seems to make a perfect metaphor for what is taking place in the world finances right now, and Financial Astrology gives a good glimpse into how that will play out. So Pluto is useful, no matter how much macho size posturing the Astronomers of the world like to do, which is why he is the first thing I look at when doing a Financial Astrology Reading for a client.
The Wildfires in LA are raging.
This isn’t such a new site if you’ve lived here for any length of time, but it IS a huge problem on a regular basis. The reason that I am posting this today is because one of these fires is threatening the Angeles National Forest which is the home to Native American (and much subsequent) sacred ground.
It is a very real threat to an irreplaceable strip of land in California, and there IS something you can do about it. No, not money, but prayer and focused intention. Here is my suggested prayer for this piece of land:
“True God of love and truth, both Father and Mother, please protect and save the Angeles National Forest so that this land can be used for your truth. Allow me to receive and be an instrument of your truth and divine protection.” Amen
While you say this please visualize the fire turning back on itself and putting itself out.
Thank you and Blessings-
Aura
UPDATE: Did we Save Suzette Brantley from the Ca Wilfires? (LA Times)
THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRAYERS!
This story is all over the LA Times and Chicago Tribune right now.
You may or may not remember my e-mail last week asking for your prayers of protection for my close friend Suzette Brantley who was battling the raging LA forest fire in the Angeles National Forest. This is the HUGEST forest fire season in LA history and has already destroyed over 150 miles of the LA area.
Suzette lives on a Ranch in the middle of the Angeles National forest. When she left last week to pack up her stuff and get out of there, I was concerned. This is why I sent this message out to my network:
It wasn’t just prayer that saved them, it was God – of course – Mother and Father God. But the request we made from God really worked. And for this I thank you.
The fact remains – they were safe and sound when it was all over. And THAT is truly the Law of Attraction – and the REST of the SECRET at work. CLICK BELOW FOR THE REST OF THE SECRET SPECIAL
But that’s not all, this is actually the reason that I decided to offer my Law of Attraction package called “The Rest of the Secret” to you this weekend at such a huge 50% discount. I want it in as many peoples hands as possible. This is also why I added the F*r*e*e* Astrology Report Bonus until Midnight on Labor Day.
There is still time to take advantage of that offer, just go here:
When I didn’t hear from them for days, I was really worried and upset. When I realized that they stayed behind to fight the fire and save the sacred land and the kennels, I didn’t agree with the decision, but wanted them out and safe! She finally got a message back on Tuesday of last week that she and Nick were OK. They had actually saved the Ranch House and a bubble of land surrounding it. Whew! I was relieved to say the least.
Others may debate weather they SHOULD have left or not, but the fact remains – they were safe and sound when it was all over. And THAT is truly the Law of Attraction – and the REST of the SECRET at work.

Today the Full Moon is in Gemini at 21′. This represents some sort of ending for words, communications, short trips or something connected to a sibling or neighbor. To see the whole Year’s Moon Phases go to this page.
The two weeks following a Full Moon are a time for us to release and let go of something connected to the sign of the Full Moon – in this case Gemini. This can mean anything that is governed by Gemini. Here is a partial list of Gemini ruled subjects:
Words
Reporters
Short Trips
Siblings
Neighbors
Ideas & Thoughts
Inner ‘mental tapes’ or self-talk
Petty Thieves
Directions
Concepts
Self-consciousness
Lies
Trickery
Sales
Marketing
Mind-Power
Additionally, the chart house where you are experiencing the Full Moon will impact what area of life you are being asked to let go of something.
For Example: The Full Moon in Gemini in your 5th house of lover’s, children and creative projects might ask you to change a way of communicating with children, or ask you to uncover and release trickery or lies, or it could show you where you have been mentally undisciplined or using negative self-talk around a creative project. These are all Gemini issues through the lens of the 5th house.
Another example might be: The Full Moon in Gemini in your 9th house of groups, foreigners, long journeys and higher education. The Full Moon in Gemini in the ninth house might suggest that there is some form of salesmanship connected to a cause or group you belong to that no longer works for you. Or it could suggest that there would be the arrival of a foreigner that puts an ending to something – like your usual trips around town. The Gemini Full Moon in the 9th house could also suggest an intentional lie, trickery or mental deception on a group level, in an arena such as sports, education, foreign affairs, political groups or other organization.
These are just a few examples of what the Gemini Full Moon could mean in different chart houses. Below are the houses and their meanings:
1st house: Self expression, how others see you
2nd house: Money and possessions, sensuality
3rd house: Siblings, Neighbors, short trips and communication

Talking about Saturn we need to remember that it is the ASPECTS that have the power, not simply the presence of a planet in one sign or another.
WHAT’S A TRANSIT? I’m glad you asked. A transit is when a planet moving through the sky makes an aspect or a pattern with the planets in your own Natal Chart.
WHAT’S AN ASPECT? A mathematical degree used by Astrologers to see what planet in your Natal Chart is being ‘touched’ and how it’s being touched, ie: caressed or throttled? and for how long this ‘touching’ will continue to go on.
WHAT ARE PATTERNS? These are shapes made by a few planets together, like squares and triangles and long stretchy triangles. Remember art class? See, that stuff was useful after all.
WHAT’S A NATAL CHART? It is the snapshot of the heavens at the moment when YOU were born. It is a lot like a snowflake or a fingerprint. It is unique. Most Natal Charts only refer to a flat view of the heavens. But there are at least 3 more dimensions to see than this. You will learn about this in the FREE ASTROLOGY SECRETS REPORT that you get when you subscribe to my WEEKLY NEWSLETTER. You can learn more about the 4-D NATAL CHART by going HERE.
Saturn WILL ONLY BE IN EFFECT when he is within a ASPECT of a Natal Planet (A planet in YOUR birth chart.) During those windows of time THE ASPECT will trigger events in your life. I consider it in effect when within 3 degrees – no more.
DON’T FORGET THAT THE ENTIRE GEN X is getting major Saturn Transits sometime in the next 2 years.
Saturn is no pick-nick by any stretch – regardless of what others have said. Here are some types of Saturn experiences:
LAWSUITS
DIVORCES
ILLNES
MAJOR RESPONSIBILITY
FATHER FIGURE PROBLEMS
BOSS PROBLEMS
PARKING TICKETS – TAXES – IRS
BANKING RED TAPE (yes foreclosure!)
and YES, when I was having bad Saturn transits – several people in my life died.
Additionally: It is the Patters that are triggered that suggest if you will come out on the winning (or losing) end of tangles with Saturn.
FOR EXAMPLE: If Saturn made a conjunction to your URANUS IN VIRGO – and you also had a GRAND TRINE in your own Natal Chart with say URANUS – SUN – JUPITER all in EARTH signs, then the hard work that Saturn triggers might put you in charge of your own business, or get you organized to open your own massage school. This is exactly what a client who has a Grand Trine being triggered by Transiting Saturn, is doing.
clearly this is NOT bad for her!
But that’s not all: HARD PATTERNS triggered by Saturn = tough times. Hard patterns are: Squares, oppositions, quincunx, T-squares, Grand Crosses, Yods and a variety of others. Not to mention the Saturn midpoints and the challenges that they can unleash!
It can be difficult for those of us pros who want to look a the WHOLE PICTURE to boil it down to one small sound bite or another.
For your sake: Here’s my best effort at a sound-bite on Saturn IN VIRGO:
**by the way Saturn rules the anus**
The bean counters have taken over the world! Death by a thousand paper cuts!
IE: Camera traffic cops are enforcing every intersection in the major cities. Seems like no way to win against those bean counters.
The only way to fight beans is with beans!
Details, details, details, hair-splitting and a puckered behind, especially with laws. This is how you can win in the end. In other words: got an electronic traffic ticket for $400? Well, you DO have the right to face your accuser.
Huh? Face a camera? Not exactly, but you can demand to know if it was functioning right, you can demand paperwork. If they can’t produce it – or if no cop shows up, you win. Technicality. A shell game for cash.
Don’t be the dupe, have your facts screwed on nice and tight.
REMEMBER: he or she who has the tightest behind WINS all Saturn battles!
Want to know what Saturn has in store for you? Then order a NATAL CHART and instead of entering info for your partner, just type in SATURN!
Please note that this information will be good for a range of about 6 weeks from the date of delivery. For the first 5 people I will also include a list of SATURN WARNING DATES when you must avoid contracts, starting a new job, moving, or other important beginning – the trouble this could save you is priceless!
Don’t wait to get your 4D-NATAL CHART, once Saturn is in your back yard, it’s too late to get prepared.

Most Astrology sites will tell you all about what the planet in the sign is supposed to mean, ie: Neptune in Aquarius should be good for humanitarian causes, and technology etc. And this is useful for looking at some of the trends and what they mean. Yes, this is a good time for the innovation of services for the masses of humanity, for computers and other techie gadgets, but this is far from the whole picture. The real JUICE from Astrology for you, dear reader, comes from understanding the aspectsNeptune is making as he travels through Aquarius.
Aspects are good or bad depending on their geometry – the angles they make and the overall patterns that they are part of.
A square is hard, a trine is usually a blessing. But the PATTERN is more important than just these aspects alone.
When Neptune is part of a Grand Cross (currently that would be in Fixed signs: Taurus, Scorpio, Aquarius & Leo) it is very different than if he was part of a Grand Trine (currently that would be in Air signs: Gemini, Libra & Aquarius).
Neptune as part of hard aspects in the fixed signs will be about money, identity, social scene and debt. It will also be about our connection to fixed and inflexible points of view. Neptune will help to melt those stubborn streaks. It may be hard to take though, since squares and oppositions bring crisis to the surface. Neptune in Square or opposition will also help bring something to a screeching halt. Endings may appear sudden, but usually they’ve been brewing for a long time.
Neptune in Trine helps to grow something, make it last, give it some spiritual ‘glue’ and help it to stick. Currently in air signs, this means that ideas, words and rules are being nourished by Neptune.
One of the reasons that it is so hard for people to get a handle on what a Neptune transit will do, is that Neptune is in charge of so very many parts of our lives. This means that there are really a TON of possibilities in how he can manifest. Forgetting or losing our memory of something and having it Zero-ed out is just one of a great many possibilities. Others include: selling, growing things, dealing with minerals or oil… But there are too many to list here.
There are other patterns that he can be part of as well, and each one has a major meaning: The kite, the unequal triangle, the Yod, the mini Trine, the mystic rectangle the dreaded T-Square and on and on. So the story of the huge and slow transits of Neptune in Aquarius will be told by the PATTERN he’s making – with the other planets in the sky, and with the planets in your own personal Chart.
EXAMPLES: Problems: Neptune in Aquarius is creating a Grand Cross for fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius) which creates stress and tension around old systems and structures and helps to break down the old ways of doing things. This is ONE of the reasons for the Mortgage crises right now – Scorpio rules Mortgages and Taurus rules money – both of these signs are getting melted down by Neptune in Aquarius. Problems and crises will be highlighted when someone is too materialistic or controlling (Scorpio), too egotistical (Leo), too attached to security and creature comforts (Taurus) or too much of an intellectual elitist (Aquarius). The action of Neptune serves to dissolve these fixed and stubborn ways of being and make room for something more far reaching and of service to humanity (Aquarius).
Blessings: Neptune is creating a Grand Trine with planets at mid Libra and Gemini. Anyone who has planets at both of these places would be having great luck and easy blessings in the areas of print and the media, partnerships and contracts, business building, legalities and patents, creating and enforcing new rules, intellectual properties and patents.
It is very tempting to overlook the major themes of the large, slow moving planets and what they mean. Basically Neptune in Aquarius is opening our collective minds (Air signs) and clearing away the superficial systems we’ve created (fixed signs) in order to make room for something that is more spiritually meaningful and satisfying. This includes spiritual journeys, soul-mates and all the things that give our life meaning. Deep memories from the past may also emerge – including those that come from past lives. These are all under his domain. Ultimately Neptune is concerned with the needs of our spirit, our soul. Neptune in Aquarius calls our attention to the collective soul-needs of humanity and how to meet them.

Like any ancient system, a full understanding of Chinese Astrology is extremely complicated, but here are a few basic rules. If you want to get into much greater detail here is a very thorough site on Chinese Astrology.

THE CHINESE ELEMENTS
The five elements: Metal, Water, Wood, Fire and Earth
These elements rotate in a 10 year cycle, when combined with the animal years we get a 60 year cycle. The rotation goes like this:
Yang Wood, Yin Wood,
Yang Fire, Yin Fire,
Yang Earth, Yin Earth,
Yang Metal, Yin Metal,
Yang Water and Yin Water
The elements either support or destroy one another when combined – and this has a great impact on compatibility with others and your luck during a given year. These are also the principles that Feng Shui is based upon.
2008 is the year of the Earth Rat – specifically it is a YIN (female) Earth Rat, also called the Brown Earth Rat. Last year – 2007 was also an Earth year, but it was YANG earth year, in the animal year of the Pig.
Because the Chinese New Year always begins on a New Moon many people make the mistake of believing it follows the Lunar (Moon cycle). This is not true. It would be far more appropriate to say that it follows the Jupiter Cycle – which lasts 12 years, just like the 12 animal years. The Chinese New year does not actually start until the next Chinese New Calendar begins – which takes place when the Tiger Month begins each year. In 2008 this actually happens on FEB 4th.
The FIVE Elements of Chinese Astrology either support or fight with each other. Elements support each other in the following order:
Metal supports Water nourishes Wood feeds Fire gives to Earth grows Metal…
The Destructive relationships are:
Wood fights with Metal
Fire fights with Water
Soil fights with Wood
Metal fights with Fire
Water fights with Soil
Since this is an Earth year it is especially good for those born in a Metal year. It will be more challenging for those born in a Water or Wood year.
To find your own years of greatest Balance – and therefore greatest luck in Chinese Astrology go here.
*The year of the Fire Horse. Anyone one born in this year is considered to be so head strong and full of impulse that they are often dangerous and disruptive to the home. It was considered especially bad to be a girl born in this year and is called hinoeuma. In ancient China girl babies born in a Fire Horse year were often drowned, and were considered unmarriageable. In 1966 the abortion rate in China was so high that it was shocking because so many parents did not want to have Fire Horses in their homes. Many other parents simply waited until the following year to register the birth of their child to help the baby avoid the prejudice such Fire Horse children (especially girl children) would receive.
**The year of the Golden Pig. Considered in Chinese Astrology to be the luckiest of all years. The most auspicious time to start a business or other profit making venture. To me this is because of the alignment of Jupiter and Pluto which takes place once every 60 years, and therefore is always present during the year of the Golden Pig. This is a generally lucky influence – but it will ONLY be lucky for you personally if it is making good aspects for YOU.
Learning Astrology is a complicated process and is more akin to learning an artform than anything else. Sure, you can buy a cookbook and learn to make a cake – but that doesn’t make you Chef (who is actually able to think in the language of food).
Most people start learning Astrology with something often referred to as ‘cookbook astrology’ which makes the cake analogy obvious. Clearly cookbook astrology is incomplete – but it is the place where most people start. It sure helps a lot if you are learning from some good teachers. I found a really good site that offers Astrology Book Reviews where you can read about the available Astrology Books out there.
In this article he reviews a Transit book by ‘Robert Hand’ who’s books I recommend, we could even go as far as to say that Hand is one of the icons of the Astrology world. A few other authors I recommend are ‘Robert Green’ and ‘Richard Tarnas’ although these two authors are somewhat more advanced than Robert Hands work – so he should be read first. Robert Green’s work is very deep and multi dimensional and Richard Tarnas gives a very insightful overview of Astrology. Both Tarnas and Green look at Astrology from a more well rounded perspective than the usual ‘cookbook’ style of standard Astrology books.
BUT – for anyone learning Astrology it is vital to have a basic reference book to go to. I recommend this Learn Astrology Book for it’s ease of use, complete information and accuracy.
Astrology has long been used by those in the know in order to select the best timing to start things. Thomas Jefferson not only used Astrology, but published “The Farmers Almanac” which is an Astrological guide for successful agriculture.
Here is a general overview of what each New Moon cycle is good for:
New Moon Cycles
Aries: The Moon is not comfortable in Aries. The best use of this energy is for exploration, adventure, beginning new sports or competitive activities, leading a new idea or campaign, planning an event or party, stirring people up, and fighting injustice.
Taurus: The Moon is MOST happy in Taurus. This is a great time to focus on earthly, sensual delights like getting a massage or going to the spa. All physical luxuries are favored now; good fabrics, fine foods, etc. This is an excellent time to begin anything related to these areas, or to create art, or invest your money.
Gemini: This is a time when we are impatient, easily bored and need a lot of stimulation. A great time to start an acting, speaking or performing class, or begin a written project or communicate your ideas in new ways. Short journeys, meetings with co-workers, neighbors or siblings are also likely at this time.
Cancer: The Moon is at HOME in Cancer: here she is the goddess energy – the power of the divine feminine. Sensitive, emotional and family oriented plans are favored now. Connect to those who make you feel loved and safe, create community. A good time for a dinner party or close gathering. Begin new recipes, or business associated with beverages and/or food now.
Leo: People want to enjoy themselves now, this is a great time to start a party planning business or connect with a local celebrity. Start things that are colorful, creative exciting and flamboyant now. The focus can also be on children and starting something connected to a child.
Virgo: Mental , emotional and physical health plans are under scrutiny, pay attention to what you eat, create a new eating plan now, hire employees, take care of or get a pet. start a new daily routine. Clear up and organize day-to-day activities: bills, paperwork, schedules, details in the home.
Libra: The Moon is not comfortable in Libra and needs peace, beauty and harmony in order to feel at ease. A good time to use art therapy or feng shui to balance out problems or tensions. A good time for beauty as expression of self, but only if it is healing from the inside out. Learn to love and accept yourself at this time.
Scorpio: Time to look into the depths of things, solve a mystery, transform or recycle something or gain a new perspective on something or someone. A good time to let go of emotional ties or constraints. Find the Newness in old endings, look to the future as if you have a blank slate and become the creative master of your future.
Sagittarius: A very philosophical time: learn something new, take a new class and delve into the roots of the human mind, language, metaphor and understanding. A time to tell new stories, travel abroad, create new gatherings, start an adventure and meet people from exotic far away backgrounds.
Capricorn: The Moon is burdened in Capricorn. This is the best time to acknowledge limitations and constraints and plan how to make the best use of them or get help removing them. Learn the rules, and how to follow them; put together detailed proposals, paperwork, bank statements and other types of homework.
Aquarius: We feel eclectic at this time. New inventions and sudden flashes of insight are probable now, take the time to ponder and try to solve weird or unusual situations and problems. Start anyting that serves large numbers of people now: mass transportation, large scale housing projects, shipping, the internet, politics, TV, etc.
Pisces: The Moon is dreamy here. A rich and creative time, also very psychic. Tune into the emotional currents that effect humanity, start anything related to glamor/make-up, photography, oil, minerals, agriculture, the food supply, film, land, property, religion, sales or broadcasting.
I will post about how to use the FULL MOON at the next full moon, which takes place in Leo Jan 22nd.
I found this really astute article about Credit Card debt and the 8th house. It gives a very good overview of what to watch for in order to be conscious about potential debt issues. I would also add to these guidelines another note: mortgages are also governed by the 8th house, as are stocks, bonds, banking and any other type of shared financial ‘hallucination.’ *I am using the word hallucination because it really is all just a hallucination of numbers once you look at the complicated, and mostly mental formulas used to determine how money works in these markets.*
Mortgages are most relevant now, since there has been a huge downturn in the housing market (I’ve been talking about this for the past 2 years), and I expect the downtrend to last for at least another 18 months. But, for the beginning Astrologer, one of the things to watch for is what planets might be in your own 8th house that are getting aspected, or what planets might be traveling through your 8th house.
now it’s up to you to save the
