Monthly Fitness and Healthy Life Style Guide for Bill Clinton August 19, 1946 8:51 AM Hope, Arkansas ***************************************************************** Introduction ***************************************************************** Lunar Return for: New York, New York 40 N 42 51 74 W 00 23 LUNAR RETURN: February 15, 2005 at 5:28:13 AM Zodiac Signs on the Ascendant and MC, and the Ascendant Ruler The Sun The Moon Mercury Venus Mars Jupiter Saturn Uranus, Neptune and Pluto Interaction of the Lunar Return and Natal Chart
The biggest challenge to your health and diet is your emotional state. When your emotions are out of control, your body follows your lead. Second in command is Mercury, taking the lead from the emotions and reacting on the body in very profound ways.
Please let me Introduce you to the MONTHLY FITNESS AND HEALTHY LIFE STYLE GUIDE REPORT.
What it is: A monthly look at dietary and exercise potential based on the sign on the Ascendant, with a secondary look at the Moon, house, aspects and all other planets. It is a "LONG TERM" procedure for people interested in taking charge and control of their lives, and understanding the underlying cause of diet and exercise breakdowns. By understanding the monthly influences imposed upon them, they can work with them and avoid the pitfalls placed in their path.
What It is NOT: It is not intended to be used for "quick" dietary loss or health maintenance. It is not meant to be an "overload" of information so that the reader is confused by what can be overwhelming information if not closely monitored as seen below (in the USE paragraph). DISCLAIMER: **No diet or exercise regime should be started without the advice of a doctor or physician.
What is included: Signs on the Ascendant, planets in the house, signs and aspects, Midheaven (as others see us and contribute to our dietary effort).
What is NOT included and why: Midpoints. The main emphasis must be on the monthly emotional response that gets us all into trouble, causing us to spin out of control in a dietary sense.
So How Do I Use It: Major Focus, Focus and no notations. Items marked with Major focus have everything to do with the Health and diet guide. Items marked with focus are still important, but not as much of a major focus as the others. No notation means that the data has been included for information purposes, but I feel do not have a stronger influence than the information that is tagged.
An Important Note On Metabolism: You will see references to metabolism as rated High, Low and Medium. Just because a rating of high is considered good, all it really means is that you have an increased appetite more often. "If" you don’t get off your butt and do some sort of exercise, all that food will simply turn into fat.
Helpful hints:
1) Throw away the scale! If your clothes begin to fall off, or become loose, you are losing weight.
2) Pay attention to transits to your natal chart by the planet Jupiter (it expands what it touches), it tends to keep you bloated and feeling that nothing is happening. If you stay with it and don’t give in to a "Why am I trying, when nothing is happening?" attitude, you will be very happy with your success after the Jupiter transits end, either natal or Lunar returns.
3) Pay attention to transits to your natal chart by the planet Saturn, it tends to bind up the internal works, when passing the easiest food becomes somewhat difficult. Carbohydrates and bread are especially difficult.
4) Bread is the biggest thief of your energy. It will cause sluggish behavior, loss of energy and send you in for a nap to recharge yourself.
5) Eat several times a day (every 5-6 hours is comfortable), with smaller portions. Never wait until you are starving to eat, because you can always count on over-eating. If you eat tiny morsels of food several times a day, you will never be "hungry".
6) Eat heavy meals (earlier) during the day. Your last meal should be no later than 6pm. Eat enough to carry you through until AM, but not so much that you can’t digest it.
7) If you over-eat, skip the next meal, as you have over-loaded your digestive system, then wait until you start to feel hungry and have a very small vegetarian type meal. Drink lots of water.
8) Double cheeseburgers won’t help your diet, but if you must, eat it at noon and don’t eat until dinner at 6, eating only vegetable type foods and by all means drink plenty of water. Remove as much bread as possible before eating, and your digestive system will thank you.
9) I know what they say about coffee being a no-no, but on a day when you have a very busy schedule and need to get going, one cup (the real stuff) in the morning does the trick for the entire day, and an added benefit of being a wonderful diuretic. Any more than one cup reacts negatively on the nervous system. For me, the energy from one cup of coffee lasts 2-3 days, limiting my intake even more.
10) Do experiment with food groups and types to see what your body likes and dislikes. For me it is Chinese food. I get a complete (takeout portion controlled) meal for a nominal price, and it covers all the food groups. I pass on the soup though. I have a dozen meals made up at a time and freeze them until needed. As a suggestion, I might have Pepper steak (replaced with chicken) with vegetables and fried rice. My body agrees with the results, but yours may react differently. Pay attention to your intake, and see what agrees with you and what doesn’t.
11) If you are a couch potato like me who spends most of his day sitting, then exercise is more essential. If you sit and watch TV a lot, then include exercises that you can do while watching TV. Make your personal space your work out area as well.
12) Your Lunar return influences change every month, and so should your diet, if not only to keep you from getting bored to death!
For the past two years I have been paying careful attention to the Lunar return (13 moons), and especially the sign on the Ascendant, and have come up with the following and very effective guide for everyone concerned with health, diet and exercise. As a long time sufferer dealing with obesity, I have practiced what I am about to preach with very nice results. It is what has inspired me to write this program and keep track of the ups and downs, pitfalls and workable solutions to a problem plaguing many Americans. I believe it to be an invaluable tool (if used correctly) to take back control of ones life. The nice part about this program is, if you fail, you can always start over. You might even understand why you failed, bringing eventual success to your efforts. It points out quite clearly how you might fair in a "fire sign month", or how you may fail or see less than expected results in a "Venus controlled month".

The zodiac signs on the Ascendant and MC, and the house position of the Ascendant ruler at the time of the Lunar return are described below. Your social and career opportunities for the coming month are influenced by these signs and house placement.
Ascendant in Capricorn (MAJOR FOCUS):
Capricorn located here knows when to stop eating and control intake. If you don’t feel hungry, then why eat (within reason)? Who is a better indicator of what and when to eat than your body? If you subscribe to the notion of three square meals a day, then don’t overload your poor delicate body. Instead, have some soup, broth or other vitamin enriched light hearted food to feed the inner you. Remember to avoid eating past your own internal comfort range, and by all means avoid heavy foods that make you feel uncomfortable, sending you to the bedroom for a nap. In this case, keep track of what you ate that stole your energy and put it on your own personal "avoid" list, and what the results may be.
Characteristics of Capricorn on the Ascendant:
Money, your standing in the community and business matters become very important this month. You may appear cold to others but you will discipline your life to specific goals, and some of the veneer that has built up needs time to wear down some. Just the same be aware of your cool and fault finding sides and learn to modify it for your own good.
Your approach to your surroundings is careful, cautious, conservative, self-restricted, and realistic. You are not known for taking risks or chances which will leave you on the short end of the stick. Spontaneous actions are not a part of your personality this month because you carefully plan each action and activity. People will find you doing the same things at the same time everyday, with an appointment calendar that is full and very well organized to gain full benefit of your precious time.
The ruling planet for this Lunar Month is:
Saturn, the planet of longevity and permanence.
The Part Of The Body Your Sign Rules:
Bones, teeth and especially the knees, hair, skin, and stomach are sensitive points this month. If you are not cautious, accidents from this sign include broken bones, sprains, dislocations, joint pain, sensitive skin, and allergies. You may very well benefit from reflexology and message to relieve any symptoms listed above.
Your Metabolic rate this Lunar month:
Steady to high. INCREASES THE APPETITE somewhat, making you feel hungry more often. With this much energy present, you should be able to overcome any obstacles before you. Remember to change your routine to keep from getting bored. Because it will be very easy to burn up food that you eat now, make sure to eat smaller and more nutritious meals. If you eat more frequently, say 4 mini-meals a day, your body will thank you for it. Just like a car or plane, the better the fuel that you put in, the better the performance. Avoid heavy food and carbohydrates that can clog the engine and slow you down, stealing your energy. Heavy food can cause you to feel sluggish, resulting in the need to take more breaks and afternoon or evening naps to recharge.
A note about "progressed ascendants":
Check to see what your progressed ascendant is. "If", it is a sign with a high metabolic rate, eat smaller meals more often. "If" your progressed ascendant indicates a low metabolic rate, then eat less, but more nutritious meals, as appetite requires.
Likely attitude towards diet and exercise:
The harder the work and challenge, the more I like it!
Exercise Programs:
Sports such as hiking, jogging, golf, or rock climbing would probably be to your liking this month.
Eat:
Oranges, lemons, celery, cabbage, spinach, broccoli, corn, peas, potatoes, walnuts, almonds, whole wheat, oats, brown rice, raw salad, fresh fruits and vegetables, lean protein, fish, eggs, whole-grain bread, cheese, buttermilk, yogurt, beans, plums, strawberries and blueberries.
Avoid:
Eating chocolate and refined sugar is bad for you, as well as highly seasoned and spicy food because of intestinal upsets
Pay attention to any/all planets located in the First House of the self, for additional tips and information, as well as the aspects to them.
Disclaimer: Before starting any diet, always seek the advice of a doctor or physician.
Ascendant is in Capricorn, Virgo Decanate
The metabolic rate this month is Very high. INCREASES THE APPETITE dramatically, making you feel hungry more often.
Ruled by the planet Mercury, your intellectual abilities are heightened. Be careful of fault finding in your fellow man as this is a danger when you are. Any career that utilizes your talents of the mind, speech or voice are favored. You are excitable, over zealous and active and you will alternate between cautious approaches and spur of the moment decisions.
Ruler of Ascendant in 6th house:
With the Lunar Ascendant Ruler in the Lunar 6th house, the things that you must do on a day-to-day basis and matters of health will be very important. The 6th house represents the job you do, or daily occupations and things that you do to be of use and service for others.
Additional 6th house influences:
Diet, service to others, coworkers, attention to detail, waiting on others, using skills, teaching others skills, craftsmanship, organization abilities, work routine, chores, responsibilities, punctuality, schedules, competency, how you work, taking responsibility for health or fitness, exercise, health care, stress, sleep habits, caring for the health of others, therapy, nutrition, nursing, tasks, habits, overall health, hard work, employees, hygiene, working environment, pets and animals.
MC in Scorpio:
Since this is the most "visible" part of the Lunar chart, it represents how you want to be seen by the outside world. It is the face or mask that you deliberately put on for others to see.
With Scorpio on the Midheaven, you should try to avoid large meals during the day and the evening meal should be light. Drink plenty of water but avoid alcohol which has a negative effect on you, especially now. Crash or odd type diets should be avoided, especially those that allow you to yo yo back and forth. You may have some constipation complaints this month due to incorrect diet.
Career matters or things that simply have your interest this month include the armed forces, police, detective or forensic science work, investigative journalism, mining, self employment, research of any kind, medical profession, funeral industry, or perhaps being a psychotherapist.
There might be some traumatic difficulties to deal with, either with people in authority or father figures, usually in intellectual or mental differences. It might be that things are not under your control this month. You might decide to make a complete change of career. Friends are likely to be the power and authority you wish to be. Whatever you decide to do now in public life, will be with an air of secrecy and mystery that Scorpio is the master of.
Psychic abilities and insights into other people’s motives, along with knowledge of the hidden side of their personality is a natural gift you possess. You go through life using onboard radar that defies explanation. Whether it is a career, love, relationships, decisions, hunches, jealousy or hatred, you do so with your whole heart. You have a special kinship to the animal world, and I would be surprised not to see dogs and cats somewhere around the property.
The placement of the Sun in the Lunar return chart is very important and affects almost every area of your life!
Sun in 1st house (MAJOR FOCUS):
The Lunar Sun is in your 1st house. Your focus will be on self expression, making impressions on others, self confidence, asserting your will and strengthening your drive to accomplish.
Aerobic exercise, health club, exercise class, going out dancing, martial arts, kickboxing, tennis, golf, walking, palates, yoga, calisthenics, basketball and softball are excellent outlets for Sun energy.
Eat:
Whole wheat, rye products, almonds, walnuts, sunflower seeds, lemons, peaches, coconut, rice, seafood, beets, asparagus, egg yolk, beef, lamb, poultry, liver, fresh fruit, salad greens, cheese, whole milk, and yogurt, spinach, raisins, dates, plums, pears, and oranges, onions, cucumbers, lettuce, apples.
Avoid: Fatty foods, snack foods, cakes, and candy.
Sun conjunct Mercury:
Mercury can get out of control, and your nervous system is going to suffer! Mercury rules the shoulders, upper arms, breathing, nerves, asthmatic conditions, hands, fingers, sense of hearing and lungs.
Exercise that is good for Mercury: Aerobics, working out, volleyball, jogging, dance, gymnastics, basketball, or tennis should keep your nerves functioning properly.
Avoid: Any time your nerves are out of control or stressed, coffee and stimulants should be avoided. Herbal teas have a calming effect. You may be inclined to eat junk food at the drop of a hat, so choose your junk food wisely.
Major good news can easily arrive that puts a smile on your face this month . Sheer will power will override intellectual considerations that will aid you in completing tasks. Get togethers can spark some very meaningful discussions that will be remembered for quite awhile.
Take a look at your life, what you've done, where you have been and where you are going and make the appropriate changes if necessary. Fresh and new ideas for creative endeavors can surface. Contacts can include more Virgo or Gemini People that are involved in your life now.
This is one of those months where you can be close and intimate with others without feeling vulnerable. Do your own thing in life rather than what others expect you to do. Should you be lacking in self confidence this will give you a shot in the shorts to come alive again in the world. You will probably make more short trips around town than usual.
The placement of the Moon in the Lunar return chart affects emotions, moods, domestic affairs and relationships with women during the coming month.
Moon in 4th house (MAJOR FOCUS):
Now, right after the Ascendant this month, the Moon is extremely important to your health, diet and well being. The Moon RULES your emotional state, and which ever way it goes, so does your diet and health. Ever been in love?????? I mean really in love?? Did you need to eat to feel whole, or was love your entire nourishment? What happened when you broke up, got divorced or weren’t getting along, and who became your new bestest friend (again)??? Food!
Wherever the Moon is placed this month, is where you will look for love, support or emotional nourishment. The aspects to the moon this month will show you your chance of finding it. With well aspected (nourished) planets your health and quality of life thrives, but anything negative will send you off your diet and health plan into the waiting and willing arms of a lover called food!!! If you will look at the planets afflicted (difficult), it will give you some idea of how you will try to nourish yourself (food) and what you have a thirst or hunger for. Spicy and hot foods (Mars) can point to sexual desire, sweets (Venus) can indicate a need for pure love and romance. Even in times of anger, you will turn to this willing lover (food), who never ever, ever lets you down, especially when wrongs haven’t been righted. The amount of food you eat when angry will show just how much you want to punish others or punish yourself.
The Lunar Moon is now in your 4th house. Emotions turn to the home front where quiet time spent at home with the family is just perfect. Emotional matters centered on the home are highlighted and can become tense or joyous depending upon the current circumstances. Someone may even call and invite you to a very warm and romantic evening by the fire, or a sudden invitation can come from someone else's house for dinner in a warm and intimate atmosphere. Whether you are a cook or not, you may be drawn to the kitchen to fool around with recipes, raid the refrigerator or lose yourself in endless chores. If there are stressful aspects to the Lunar Moon while in the fourth house, there can be very sensitive family issues that are encountered.
The Moon here governs possible health complaints with the stomach, breasts, digestive organs, and bladder. There may be some complaints with indigestion, stomach ulcer, flatulence, coughs, gallstones, or emotional disorders such as depression.
Your metabolic rate this month is LOWERED by this placement of the Moon. It will be much more difficult to absorb and release anything you eat, not that you can’t but it will be at a much slower rate. Any heavy food or carbohydrates can really wipe you out physically, and any sugar will turn to fat much more rapidly. Eat smaller meals, less often, and above all, learn to recognize when you are full. You can always eat again later!
Suggested exercise includes water sports, swimming, running, calisthenics, sailing, white water rafting. Avoid any fitness program that requires you to exert yourself too much. Do not try to lose weight too quickly now, rather a slow and gradual weight loss is indicated this month.
Try to avoid eating food loaded with starches, sugar, and salt. Constipation from an increased appetite for cheese and salt produces bloating. Spicy and highly seasoned food doesn’t sit well with your more than sensitive stomach.
Additional 4th house interpretations:
Country, home, family, memories, dependence on others or others depending on you, real-estate, safety, security, roots, tradition, loyalties, ties, domestic life, nourishment, support from others, being accepted, belonging, furnishings, meals, your subconscious memories, fears, or habits. Laundry, food, household items, daily home life,private life, and karmic conditions.
Moon sextile Saturn:
Love has a stable and enduring quality to it this month. This is the time to go shopping because what you are looking for may be on sale. This month can bring back people, women, and older friends from the past. You will experience calm and stable emotions when dealing with others in your environment.
Moon opposition MC:
Your Emotions are out of control, dictating what you eat and drink.
Emotional problems can interfere with professional and domestic matters this month and this is an UNFAVORABLE time for real estate transactions, domestic or business purchases and for professional or family dealings that involve women or the public.
The placement of Mercury in the Lunar return chart affects communication, and your ability to learn and express yourself during the coming month.
Mercury in 1st house (MAJOR FOCUS):
They say that where the mind goes, the body follows. That is why there is a Major Focus on it every month. What you think, speak and project, even unspoken words will convince the body of your intent and act accordingly. Positive affirmation of your goals will bring positive results to your health and diet efforts. Negative thoughts and actions will bring nothing but negative results to your health and diet efforts. Look at the aspects to Mercury to find out if the influences around you this month will act to derail your efforts or strengthen them. If they are negative, look to the cause and correct them. You may not be able to change them completely, but you will be aware of what the cause is, and be prepared to work with them, instead of against them. You have the tools for success, if you don’t take them out of the tool box and put them to work, what good are they?
Mercury is in your 1st house, and indicates areas of interests in your life this month, as well as health matters or where your thoughts are likely to be focused.
You will be opening up verbally to the outside world now. People will react to you now just shaking their heads as you talk with such speed that they never get a word in edgewise. Because of this be careful of confusing yourself and others whenever you speak. This is a favorable month for negotiating and forming contracts with others. Short distance travel will increase as well. Stressful aspects to Mercury while in the 1st house can bring on nervous problems and irritations, a very rigid self righteous attitude can develop or the communicative ability interferes with working conditions.
Health complaints may take place through the nervous system, breathing, asthmatic conditions, sense of hearing or lungs.
You will get an extra boost through your metabolism with Mercury here. Just because your metabolic rate is rated high, don’t think that talking about it, or thinking about a new diet and health regime is going to make it happen. Get off your butt and make it happen! INCREASES THE APPETITE dramatically, making you feel hungry more often. Remember to change your routine to keep from getting bored. Because it will be very easy to burn up food that you eat now, make sure to eat smaller and more nutritious meals. If you eat more frequently, say 4 mini-meals a day, your body will thank you for it. Just like a car or plane, the better the fuel that you put in, the better the performance. Avoid heavy food and carbohydrates that can clog the engine and slow you down, stealing your energy. Heavy food can cause you to feel sluggish, resulting in the need to take more breaks and afternoon or evening naps to recharge.
Suggested exercise routines to keep your nerves in fine working order include staying away from sports that will hurt yourself, or others. You will need a great deal of variety to keep from getting bored, so switch your routine, often. Aerobics, working out, volleyball, jogging, dance, gymnastics, basketball, or tennis should keep your nerves functioning properly. Get an enthusiastic friend to help you exercise, because you love to talk while doing most anything and would enjoy the company.
In your diet, try to avoid coffee and stimulants, whereas herbal teas have a calming effect. You may be inclined to eat junk food at the drop of a hat, so choose your junk food wisely.
The placement of Venus in the Lunar return chart affects romance and friendship over the coming month.
Venus in 1st house (FOCUS):
Next in line for our Focus is lovely, seductive and beautiful Venus. Wherever Venus is located indicates where love, affection and attention can be found. Look carefully at the aspects to Venus because she can either bring love or try to hold it back. Negative aspects can also try to derail your efforts for health and diet, whereas positive aspects can help to support your efforts. Do not allow negative Venus aspects to knock you off your path to success, instead recognize that they are there, and work with them, instead of against them. Remember, every day, is NOT going to be a holiday.
You are very sociable now. Love, making a good impression on others, making peace with the world around you, taking vacations, attracting people and having a good time is the emphasis at this time. Your environment should be happy and content. A new romantic admirer may take a shine to you. If Venus receives a stressful aspect while in the 1st house, you are likely to be more self indulgent and spend more on extravagant items. In some cases be a little bit more "HYPER" than usual.
Unfortunately, Venus located here is not going to help much in the metabolism department, because it is rated LOW. With a low metabolic rate, it will be much more difficult to absorb and release anything you eat, not that you can’t but it will be at a much slower rate. Any heavy food or carbohydrates can really wipe you out physically, and any sugar will turn to fat much more rapidly. Eat smaller meals, less often, and above all, learn to recognize when you are full. You can always eat again later!
Some suggested exercise that might be helpful for you is any sport that requires concentration and good hand-eye coordination, such as archery, marksmanship, and golf would be great. TV remote control speed and dexterity fit into that category as well.
Try to avoid carbohydrates, heavy pastas, and rich foods. Choose a diet plan that allows plenty of fresh fruit, frozen yogurt and low fat toppings. Crash diets should be avoided.
Venus trine Jupiter:
A strong attraction to all things that are beautiful exists this month. Take someone out to a candlelight dinner, or if you are an artist or compose or play music, this can be a very creative and inspiring time for you. Long distance journeys and dealing with people at a distance is highly favored and the ideals of people around you will be easier to understand. The sharing of philosophies of others is favored.
You are in a very content state of mind, and favors business, finance, foreign investments, medicine and law. Legal matters decided will work out quite well and new friendships can be stimulating and wonderful. Rest and recuperate rather than work if you can, as this is a rather lazy time.
Venus conjunct Neptune:
Neptune rules the feet, toes and bones of the feet. Some health complaints this month are swelling, allergic reaction to drugs, or problems with the feet. There can be vulnerabilities or sensitivity to medicines, drugs, and anesthesia.
Exercise Programs:
Music, dance, biking, the stair master, treadmill, rowing machine, swimming, ice skating, canoeing, rowing, water skiing, surfing, water-aerobics classes. Step aerobic, ballet, jazz or other types of dance will be very appealing to you now. Meditative techniques, yoga and Tai Chi might help you when you are feeling funky!
Avoid:
Cut down on table salt, for that can make you feel bloated. Coffee can over-stimulate Neptune natives and should be cut down to a bare minimum. Neptune also governs drugs, you should be careful in their use. Avoid alcohol in excess too because it will tend to dehydrate you.
Conversations that deal with psychic and intuitive subjects can take place, or a phone call for help can arrive. Psychic conditions can draw you into relationships quite easily this month.
This is a difficult time to separate love from compassion and you will notice you have an intuitive, psychic and telepathic rapport with others, especially women. You will exhibit a more CAUTIOUS and RESERVED mannerism, and you will notice artistic and creative tendencies emerge, crying out for expression. Pleasure travel is indicated as well under this influence.
Financial limitations and a certain amount of loneliness are possible, but can easily attract love in its purest form. Weakened kidneys is possible due to the misuse of sexual energy or too sweet a diet, so make sure to increase your water intake to keep them in good working order.
HYPNOTIC LOVE AFFAIRS that will have a very profound effect on you can occur this month. Business, romance and sex will probably have a somewhat secretive tone to it.
The placement of Mars in the Lunar return chart affects your drive, ambition, and vitality during the coming month.
Mars in 12th house:
Next in line is the planet Mars. Mars is considered extremely aggressive and masculine. It shows where you will put tremendous energy and where you will apply that energy by house. Mars is that push that gets you going, gets you off the couch and onto the treadmill. Push too hard however, and you can meet with great resistance from all areas around you, including people, places and things. Applied in the wrong way will bring with it combative situations, arguments, tempers flaring and in some cases accidental behavior. If the Universe tells you to knock off the macho behavior (aspect wise), then take a hint and do so. If the Universe gives you a green light aspect wise, then go for it with your whole heart. Look carefully at the aspects to find out who, or what may be putting obstacles in your path, and act accordingly.
This is a time of secretive and behind the scenes activities. Secret enemies may arise to be dealt with or occult and metaphysical subjects can be investigated and utilized. Hospital procedures, self undoing and charitable endeavors also come with this influence. Energy and vitality will be at a low point and you require rest and a placid environment. If you are experiencing difficult aspects, you may have to take the blame for something you are not responsible for, become involved in secretive activities, or be sought out by secret enemies.
Additional 12th house interpretations:
Social work, charity, volunteer work, subconscious fear, guilt, resentment, hate, past-life karma, skeletons in the closet, damaging secrets, secret plots, compassion, psychic ability, sensitivity, self-undoing, confinement, imprisonment, religious retreats, subconscious mind, libraries, mental illness, emotional blocks, addictions, secret motives, hidden agendas, suppressed knowledge, secret societies, occult wisdom, hidden meanings, illumination, enlightenment, fantasy, self-deception, hidden enemies, hospitals, institutions, spirituality, unredeemed karma, selfless service, mystical inspiration, and clairvoyant abilities.
Mars sextile Uranus:
Cultivate new skills this month that can bring rewards into your life at a later time. Once in a lifetime chances can bring rewards to you somehow and provide pleasant stimulation in the process. Creative brainstorms can bring new projects and a source of income to you and it seems that opportunities seem to come from out of the blue this month. Opportunities can come to partnerships that allow them to advance and grow.
Inventions or research may spark a breakthrough in some area. Your desire for independence is high and bursts of sudden energy and action may take you by surprise. Auto or electrical problems can arise suddenly.
Go off the beaten path now with unexplored ideas as positive personal change is possible. Your will power will be strong this month, and you will be very determined to accomplish something. The need for freedom is stronger than normal and premature acts should be avoided. Being at the right place at the right time can bring some very favorable opportunities or benefits that can come from others.
The placement of Jupiter in the Lunar return chart determines in what areas of your life you are likely to have opportunities for growth and expansion during the coming month.
Jupiter in 8th house:
Next in line we have Jupiter, planet of good fortune and expansion. Wherever Jupiter falls it likes to make things bigger, and gives resistance to letting things go back to normal shape, like the human body for instance (especially around the hip area). Whenever Jupiter takes a prominent position in the Lunar or Natal chart, weight will be easy to put on, and remain on, until the influence ends. Then and only then can things go back to normal, whatever normal is.
With Jupiter located here, the emphasis is on inheritances, combining resources, requesting loans, enjoying occult or mystical subjects, benefits from joint finances, insurance, taxes, foreign travel for business or real estate. If Jupiter receives difficult aspects while in the 8th house, there can be legal difficulties, and difficulties in business and finances.
Additional 8th house interpretations:
Rebirth, transformation, other peoples money, secrets, sex, mysticism, intuitiveness, renewing, rebuilding, restoring, refurbishing, limiting beliefs, bad habits, attachments that drain you physically, attachments to possessions that restrict or burden, obsessions, compulsive behavior, legacies, inheritance, insurance, alimony, taxes, loans, psychic and occult matters, and metaphysics.
Jupiter square Saturn:
Wherever Jupiter is placed by house and whatever it touches by aspect tends to benefit, receive good fortune or become larger than when it started, at least positively aspected. This can make dieting very difficult, unless you cut food intake to a system designed to try to expand itself. On the negative side, it can act to prevent good things to come to us. In either case, it will sharply increase your appetite, which is why smaller more healthy meals are suggested.
Major changes are indicated this month due to this powerful configuration in your life. Leave business matters alone, because the possibility of failure is high. You face the danger of comparing yourself to others and feel insecure and perhaps angry about your failure and their success. You might notice some inflammations in the joints or arthritis or suffer some discomforts from water on the knees this month. Progress can very easily come to a screeching halt in any area of life this month, and on any project. If you are involved in large projects requiring the help or support of others, then you can expect to be tested on the validity of the project through the people that you associate with. I know that you won't want to hear it but PATIENCE is the key.
When considering any actions, let this influence pass first and then take a look at it again. You will be a very restless spirit who will want to be on the move, but that movement is blocked and so the tension builds, especially if you are waiting for something to happen.
Traditional methods for handling money won't work now, and the differences between religious and spiritual issues can arise and you may have difficulty sorting through the differences in the two. This is a time when we want to expand (Jupiter) but we are frustrated (Saturn) and held back. This is a poor time for business and business expansion and there are bound to be legal difficulties and red tape to deal with. A financial crisis is possible at this time. This is a poor time to do any publishing or travel.
This is a poor time for legal issues, lawsuits, and education, publishing, travel and love relationships, instead get back to the basics of life. Money can be tough to come by. Don't look for rewards to come for work done until after this influence ends. Needless to say you will be very restless, longing to do something but cannot.
The placement of Saturn in the Lunar return chart determines where you will encounter obstacles, difficult lessons, and where discipline will be needed in your life during the coming month.
Saturn in 6th house (FOCUS):
Next up is Saturn. Saturn is the great teacher. Wherever Saturn is located by house, shows where losses, setbacks, depression, maturity, growing up or feeling gloomy can occur. Usually it is present when the time is just not right for an action or activity to occur, for whatever the reason. It is like having a credit card that always comes back "access denied". Sometimes the access is permanent, other times it is temporary in nature.
Work and responsibilities on the job will increase this month. Health may be Sensitive, especially if you don't know when to slow down and rest. This is the time to conserve your energy, not to waste it. Health matters that become difficult often point to other unrecognized problems in your life that need to be examined. Often health difficulties are the job itself. If Saturn makes difficult aspects while in the 6th house, then you may experience health problems involving digestion, bones, kidney disorders, skin and knees. Your recovery time from illness will be drawn out as well. Unemployment may be an issue, or you may have to resort to doing work that is distasteful to you.
Additional 6th house interpretations:
Diet, service to others, coworkers, attention to detail, waiting on others, using skills, teaching others skills, craftsmanship, organization abilities, work routine, chores, responsibilities, punctuality, schedules, competency, how you work, taking responsibility for health or fitness, exercise, health care, stress, sleep habits, caring for the health of others, therapy, nutrition, nursing, tasks, habits, overall health, hard work, employees, hygiene, working environment, pets and animals.
Saturn trine MC:
Now, Saturn brings with it a separate set of circumstances wherever it is by house and aspect. In either case, whether positive or negative aspect, it puts very strong obstacles in your path to be dealt with. It has been noted that every time there is a Saturn transit, everything comes to a screeching halt, with a big sign that seems to suggest "Access Denied!" I have also seen that anytime there is a strong Saturn presence, denying us what we want can also be protecting us from ourselves, possibly by the presence of a more wise and learned energy than ourselves, which is also a characteristic of Saturn. Diet wise, it seems to limit the need to eat, curbs the appetite and allows you to take more control of the food that you eat. On the negative side, it always slows down the digestive process dramatically. The utmost caution should be advised as to what you eat with this energy as constipation, and a bound up digestive system can take on the consistency of cement. A vegetarian diet is ideal with this energy whether transits to natal, lunar return or progression.
Professional advancement can be yours if you take the initiative, just be careful of setting your goals too high. The results of your hard work will not be fruitful right now, that will come at a later date. Changes can occur in your domestic atmosphere this month and your responsibilities can shift as people can move into your home, or drastic changes will occur within the structure of the home. You may decide to include more people in your life, or want to take care of others on a one to one basis. You will be very anxious for good things to happen and material achievement and this is a good time to work by yourself, because you won't want to be with others. There will be an easy flow in your professional endeavors and benefits come through older and established firms rather than doing business with the new and untried.
The placement of the 3 outer planets in the Lunar return chart indicates areas in your life that are likely to take surprising twists and turns, where idealism and illusion may enter your life, or where compulsive or extreme situations may arise in your life during the coming month.
Uranus in 1st house (MAJOR FOCUS):
Next in line is the planet Uranus, ruler of Aquarius, and just like a true Aquarian, Uranus, is the rebel, the non-conformist, the humanitarian and the unpredictable child. Wherever Uranus is placed by house, all bets are off for a normal existence, replaced by sudden out of the blue and whimsical behavior. No matter what the circumstance this month, it won’t be boring! It is life thrust upon us, not chosen.
Changes in looks, surroundings and commitments to others can take place this month. Rebellious tendencies can easily develop that are not easy to understand. Marriage or relationship difficulties that cannot cope with change will end, as you are seeking more freedom from your surroundings. If Uranus makes a difficult aspect while in the 1st house, you are rebellious, very impatient and totally impractical.
The Part Of The Body Uranus Rules:
Calves, ankles, circulation, breath, eyesight, and blood need some attention. Health complaints can include cramps, allergies, sudden illness or nervous disorders.
Your Metabolic Rate this Lunar month:
High. INCREASES THE APPETITE dramatically, making you feel hungry more often. With this much energy present, you should be able to overcome any obstacles before you. Remember to change your routine to keep from getting bored. Because it will be very easy to burn up food that you eat now, make sure to eat smaller and more nutritious meals. If you eat more frequently, say 4 mini-meals a day, your body will thank you for it. Just like a car or plane, the better the fuel that you put in, the better the performance. Avoid heavy food and carbohydrates that can clog the engine and slow you down, stealing your energy. Heavy food can cause you to feel sluggish, resulting in the need to take more breaks and afternoon or evening naps to recharge.
Exercise Programs:
Since your ankles can cause some complaints this month, use caution during dancing, gymnastics, skating, aerobics, martial arts, and skiing. You might find some company and enjoyment in viewing exercise videos, but make sure you have lots of different ones, to keep you from going crazy with boredom.
Eat:
Fish, lobster, tuna, oysters, spinach, radishes, celery, cabbage, lettuce, corn, squash, almonds, walnuts, apples, peaches, pears, lemons, oranges, sea salt, carrots, strawberries, vegetables, whole-grain bread, chicken, beets, broccoli, peppers, tomatoes, pineapple, brown rice, whole wheat, yogurt and cheese.
Avoid:
Cut down on coffee, which can make you nervous. On the other hand you can try herbal teas to relax. Ethnic food and cuisine is great stuff, just don’t overdo it.
Neptune in 1st house (MAJOR FOCUS):
One of my favorite planets is Neptune. Among the qualities it loves to bring to the party is illusion, and deception, but also imagination, illumination and inspiration (That covers all the "I" words). Psychic and intuitive aspects can emerge from our subconscious mind now, and can do so in a myriad of ways like music, art, poetry, compassion and humanitarian efforts. Remember to look at Neptune like you are in a very naughty dream that is not real, and is never going to come true. It was great at the time, but has nothing to do with reality.
Relationships will not be what they seem this month. Wait until the "fog" clears before forming any opinions. Get back to reality before uncertain and confusing conditions do you in. Remember that pretending is all well and good, but this is not the month for it. If Neptune makes a difficult aspect to the 1st house while in this house, then self deception and escapism can influence your life.
The Part Of The Body Neptune Rules:
The feet, toes and bones of the feet. Some health complaints this month are swelling, allergic reaction to drugs, or problems with the feet. Low blood pressure and inflammations can be cause of concern this Lunar month. There can be vulnerabilities or sensitivity to medicines, drugs, and anesthesia.
Your Metabolic rate this month is:
Low. With a low metabolic rate, it will be much more difficult to absorb and release anything you eat, not that you can’t but it will be at a much slower rate. Any heavy food or carbohydrates can really wipe you out physically, and any sugar will turn to fat much more rapidly. Eat smaller meals, less often, and above all, learn to recognize when you are full. You can always eat again later!
Exercise Programs:
Music, dance, biking, the stair master, treadmill, rowing machine, swimming, ice skating, canoeing, rowing, water skiing, surfing, water-aerobics classes. Step aerobic, ballet, jazz or other types of dance will be very appealing to you now. Meditative techniques, yoga and Tai Chi might capture your interest as well.
Eat:
Liver, lean beef, lamb, egg yolks, oysters, kidneys, whole-grain cereals, barley, dried beans, beet, spinach, onions, lettuce, raisins, dates, apricots, peaches, grapes, apples, lemons, oranges, lettuce, strawberries, radishes, cucumbers, almonds, walnuts.
Avoid:
Cut down on table salt, for that can make you feel bloated. Coffee can over-stimulate you and should be cut down to a bare minimum. Neptune people are particularly susceptible to the effects of alcohol. Because the ruler Neptune also governs drugs, you should be careful in their use. Get advice first before you take anything new. Water retention is a problem and since you will be drawn to salt, the problem only gets worse. Avoid alcohol in excess too because it will tend to dehydrate you.
Pluto in 11th house:
Last in line, but not forgotten we have the planet PLUTO who is the master of digging down beneath the surface of who you are and bringing some very powerful yet subtle changes into your life. Pluto is where your OBSESSIONS can be found this month.
Friends and groups of people can try to manipulate through the use of power struggles can be seen in hopes and wishes, team efforts, charities and friends. If Pluto makes a difficult aspect while in the 11th house, then power struggles may be evident with friends, groups and associations.
Additional 11th house interpretations:
Humanitarian efforts, friendship, sudden occurrences, rebelliousness, and outrageous behavior. Dreams, concerns, political views, breaking the rules, freedom, groups of people, allies, teammates, colleagues, what kind of friend you are, acquaintances, social circles, wishes, ambitions, aspirations and your ability to work with others on projects.
Pluto trine N. Node:
Gains can come from people who bring opportunities to you this month, and new relationships can be found around community groups or professional surroundings. New relationships can begin or you may end an old one, and new attractions can come into your life as well. Considerable efforts through difficult tasks allows growth and maturity to take place.
The following influences are based on the relationship of the Lunar return to the natal chart. These influences tend to bring about changes in attitudes and your perspective on life.
Lunar Return Ascendant in Natal 4th house:
With your Natal 4th house on the Lunar Ascendant, matters regarding living together or living arrangements will be a focus in your life. Do it yourself projects, sex in the environment and caring for or nurturing others will be issues that you face this month.
Additional 4th house influences brought into focus:
Country, home, family, memories, dependence on others or others depending on you, real-estate, safety, security, roots, tradition, loyalties, ties, domestic life, nourishment, support from others, being accepted, belonging, furnishings, meals, your subconscious memories, fears, or habits. Laundry, food, household items, daily home life, private life, and karmic conditions are in the spotlight.
Natal Ascendant in Lunar Return 8th house:
With your Natal Ascendant now in the Lunar 8th house, connecting and merging with others at a very deep level becomes very important. The 8th House is connected with sex, death, and others resources. Research, investigative activities, psychology, and archeology are all part of 8th house activities, as are the occult and secret pursuits. Most importantly, it is where you as an individual fit this month.
Additional 8th house interpretations:
Rebirth, transformation, other peoples money, secrets, sex, mysticism, intuitiveness, renewing, rebuilding, restoring, refurbishing, limiting beliefs, bad habits, attachments that drain you physically, attachments to possessions that restrict or burden, obsessions, compulsive behavior, legacies, inheritance, insurance, alimony, taxes, loans, psychic and occult matters, and metaphysics.
