July 2012 Monthly Horoscope

Aries

March 21 – April 20

Relationships are important to you this month and not just because Mars moves into that area of your chart on July 4 possibly causing you a few jitters and misunderstandings with someone close to you but also because there is a full moon in this area of your chart on July 3 which will highlight and bring to the fore any inconsistencies you have been experiencing with your partner. You will certainly not be without words to throw around if you are upset but you may wish to think a bit before you speak out especially early in the month.

June 2012 Horoscope Aries

March 21 – April 20

You may have to put some of your social obligations on the back burner while you focus on your career this month. With Mars (your ruler) moving through your work sector, Pluto moving through your career sector, and Jupiter moving through your money sector, you’ll be hard pressed to think about anything else. Emphasis is on building a better mousetrap, i.e., developing and refining your brand. What is it you have to offer that no one else has? Work on cultivating your own unique vision, especially after the 12^th when the Moon moves into your sign and your career and self-expression rulers come together in perfect harmony. There may be a partial setback around the 24^th, when two powerful planets (Pluto and Uranus) force you to confront the discrepancies between your public and private personas. Deal with it now and put it behind you – because as Saturn and Venus turn direct in the following days, you’ll be shifting your attention back to the area of relationships.

Moon in Aries: June 12^rd, 13^th and 14^th.

ARIES

Venus goes retrograde in your area of communication just as the moon is in your sign on the May 17. This may have the effect of what may have been a romantic couple of days suddenly turning into a communication mix up especially early on the May 17 when Uranus will also be in close contact to the moon. To add insult to injury – which is what I’m trying to warn you about so you can avoid it – there is an new moon eclipse on May 20 also in your area of communication. Best keep any thoughts you have in relation to your love life to yourself this month as you may be skating on shallow ice if you think you can fix things for now.

Aries

March 21 – April 20

You start the month out at a bit of a disadvantage – with your personal ruler (Mars), your career ruler (Saturn) and your work ruler (Mercury) all retrograde. But things straighten out for you soon enough, with Mercury turning direct shortly thereafter and ultimately moving into your sign. Mars follows suit on the 14^th and will be in mutual reception with Mercury at that time. What that means for you – aside from getting your mojo back – is that things will start moving forward for you in all of these areas. Your finances should also start to improve – with Jupiter and Venus both in your money sector and the New Moon taking place there later in the month. This should be a relatively prosperous time for you, starting around the 16^th and culminating on the 22^nd. Focus your energies on that time frame and you’ll find that you can do no wrong.

Moon in Aries: April 18, 19, 20, 21

ARIES

The new moon on March 22 falls within your sign heralding the arrival of Spring for many of you. At this time both the Sun and Moon will be at the same degree in the sky along with the planets Mercury and Uranus. Expect anything and expect the unexpected! Communication may be hampered for you for most of this month and it would be wise to check and double check that all is in order there. Don’t go rushing in trying to fix anything within a relationship by expecting this will be a time you are heard… it could go completely wrong for you and the twists and turns that come out of it will may be beyond any “damage control” you can do.

Author: Melodie • Discussion: No Comments

February 2012 Monthly Horoscope

Aries

March 21 – April 20

This month the past and the present intersect for you in the form of unfinished business with a relationship partner. Whether this is someone literally from your past, or a current partner who wants to rehash old problems, you’ll be called upon to work toward resolution. You can make a lot of progress here – and even make a fresh start – beginning around the 8th when Venus moves into your sign and conjuncts Uranus. The full Moon is in your romance sector this month too. This can shed light on issues that need to be addressed in your personal life and can also force you to assess the roles that people play in your life. It’s not the best time to start a brand new relationship though – with Mars (your ruler) now retrograde, the focus is more on resolving the past than it is constructing the future.

January 2012 Monthly Horoscope

ARIES

The new year sees you start with all good intentions… and a lot of these intentions are to do with your work. However, as the month progresses and Venus travels her path through your area of friendship and then spirituality you may find you are pulled back into your love life whether you like it or not. There is a pivotal point this month around January 22 when Mercury and Mars form a great aspect to really have your seen and heard at your workplace. Any plans you are thinking of to change your career direction are best left to this time. Do not wait till after January 24 when Mars turns retrograde and may scupper any ideas you have to move forward. Jupiter is in your area of security and stability for the next few months and this is a time when you can lay down plans to see you through times of upheaval with finances.

December 2011 Monthly Horoscope

Aries

March 21 – April 20

Right from the very beginning of the month you’ll be met with challenges in your relationships. All three of your relationship rulers (Mars, Venus and the Sun) are involved in tense aspects until the 5th, which are likely to manifest as conflicts with friends and loved ones, and even those on the perimeters of your social circles. Because you’re going through so many internal changes right now, others may have a hard time keeping up. Your primary relationship will take the brunt of all this tension, and any thoughts you have about taking a break will be amplified around the 10th. Just be sure you think about the repercussions before you make any serious decisions. Steps you take now and choices you make can have far-reaching consequences.

Ask the Astrologers: Torn Between Two Lovers

Author: Melodie • Discussion: No Comments

Torn between two lovers — sound familiar? Astrologers are often called upon to shed light on the differences between relationship prospects, as each person’s unique relationship paradigm is spelled out clearly in the natal chart.

Synastry (comparing the planets in two different charts) can provide incredibly accurate details about a relationship’s strengths and weaknesses, and can reveal in-depth information about sexual compatibility, chemistry, communications styles, love and even karma.

Another practice, using midpoints to combine two natal charts into one (called a “composite” chart) will accurately describe the relationship itself rather than the individual parties.

Interpreting a Chart with No Known Birth Time

Author: Chrisalis • Discussion: No Comments

What happens when an astrologer is given birth info for a client who does not know his or her exact birth time? Can an astrologer still interpret the natal chart? And what about relationship compatibility? Can the same be done with an unknown birth time for a love interest or relationship partner?

This week Chrisalis responds to a client with this exact dilemma; and yes there is much that can be interpreted, even without the exact time of birth:

Hello Chrisalis:

I’m curious about how all the planets line up for me. I know I’m a Capricorn but that’s about all I know. I wonder what you can tell me about where the planets were at the time of my birth and how that applies to me specifically. I don’t know my birth-time, and I’m also curious about my relationship with a man that I’ve been seeing. We had some bumps in the road and would like to know what to expect in the coming months. Thank you, Cathy.

November 2011 Monthly Horoscope

Aries

March 21 – April 20

You may have found October a bit hard going with things just that little bit out of your reach, however, November has a totally different feel to it for you. Mercury and Venus will move into your area of freedom and adventure from November 3 and this spells a lot of fun for you. Mars is in your area of work from November 12 when you will have a lot more energy to put into your career. Those of you born earlier in Aries may need to watch for a bit of a bumpy ride in the last week of the month when Venus enters Capricorn but for the most part this is a month where you can let your hair down and act as if life is meant for living and you mean to live it to the full.
