Venus-Saturn Transits

Venus-Saturn or Saturn-Venus transits can be difficult to deal with at times, but it depends on what your natal chart looks like, what houses these planets are falling in and the rest of what else is going on. Whether its a trine, sextile, conj, square or opposition makes a difference also. 

A lot of things can manifest in a Venus-Saturn transit in a person’s life. It isn’t one thing or the other. If you’ve had one of these or are anticipating one of these, some may reflect your life and others will not. 

With the harsher aspects and from time to time in the softer aspects there is a sense of loneliness and the fear of abandonment. These are obviously more prominent in those having the more extreme transits, but again can happen time to time in other ones. There be be bouts of depression and anxiety with regards to the love life, or lack there of, or in social settings. 

This may be a time where social situations are limited. Sometimes the individual simply wants time away from everyone and this is to their own choosing. They prefer solitude over social dates or parties. Other times it can be against what the person wants, which can lead to depression and a general feeling bad about yourself. Sometimes it seems like friendship and love are denied to that person at that time. 

It could be a time when it’s hard finding that special someone, or you are single for a long period of time. In this time you could be depressed because of the loneliness, and other times ( with the softer aspects, the trine and sextile ) the person makes best use of this solitude to do things that better themselves. 

This is also a time where you could meet the person you would have a long term relationship with. It can also be a time where you make that commitment or go to the next level in a relationship you’ve been in for a long time. It can be a good transit to solidify a long term and possibly marriageable relationship. 

It can be a time where long term relationships are tested and if they pass, more commitment follows and makes them closer than ever before. In a casual relationship, one of two things happen: 1. There could be a break up or the couple becomes more distance or wants more alone time. 2. Become more committed. Both can happen in the harsher aspects. If you have a soft aspect, it CAN happen that you break up ,but more than likely a casual relationship could go to the next level. 

Even in a marriage a person could feel lonely with a harsher transit of Saturn and Venus. There may be times where they feel their husband or wife doesn’t feel the same about them or values other people and things above the marriage. Or committed relationship. ( Could be either one ). Often a marriage or long-standing committed relationship can be tried and tested; there is hard work to keep it going, even though there is great love between the two. The other partner may be working long hours or has to go away for a period of time, like in the military or gets a job overseas temporarily. 

This is also a time to take time to save money, or is a time where you do not have many money or material things. 

You may change your style or make up or hair during this time to make it more “classic” or “sophisticated.” You may be attracted to older people at this time or those who can help you succeed. 

Any NEW relationships during this period are likely to last, perhaps to marriage, unless something is really messed up. They could be with an older person, younger person, or someone who has status, or is stable. 

In general, a person with this transit is looking for stability in love life, commitment, and responsibility. They aren’t looking to party at this time or fool around, and it can be hard when everyone else is having fun. 

Neighbors and the 3rd house

The 3rd house deals with the mind and early education. It is curiosity and chattering. It represents short-distance travels, like everyday commutes to the store or to the bank, or even to a city within a few hours from you. 

It deals with siblings and also neighbors. 

I was wondering what house represented neighbors and also if there were differences between neighbors in childhood verses ones in adulthood.

The only reason I discuss this is because I have an annoying neighbor as of current. He is one of those young men that like to think they are “swag.” He loves listening to loud rap music with the bass blaring late at night from 11 pm to 3 am, and sometimes later. I’ve called the police on him multiple times, but sometimes I feel like giving up but other times I just want to scream because I need my sleep too. My life doesn’t revolve around staying up all night and sleeping till noon. 

It isn’t necessarily the music that bothers me, but more like the blaring “boom boom boom” bass. You can say “Well talk to him” but anyone who wants to blare music that late at night probably isn’t reasonable in the first place. He look about 20 or 21, and all I have to say is that he thinks he is “swag” and most of you will know what type of person I’m talking about. 

Anywho, I tried to see if anything would indicate an annoying neighbor in astrology. I looked to my current transits, as I have the sun and venus currently transiting my 3rd house right now. 

However, within the next few weeks I should have Mars transiting my 3rd house, as it’s at the end of the 2nd house right now. I wonder if he will be playing it later in the night because it will be summertime, but I will have a problem with it if I have to be up at 7 am for work. 

Venus could indicate I have a superficial and maybe irresponsible neighbor? Jupiter is transiting my 4th house right now. But I can see how Venus transiting my 3rd house could manifest in other ways. 

I have Taurus in my 3rd house natally. Your 3rd house represents how YOU act in school, communicate, act at the bank or your little travels, or how you act towards neighbors. 

When it comes to all of that, I like quiet and comfort in my own home and I do NOT like loud people. Living in an apartment I do deal with chattering and other sounds from neighbors, but I think that blaring loud rap music late at night is plain rude. 

I would like to live in a neighborhood that is slightly upscale ( but not too rich or exclusive ), comfortable and stable. And of course gives me quiet and solitude. So maybe this guy just messes with what I want in a neighborhood? 

Just some thoughts. 

Astrology and Writing

I have looked in and did some google searching of writers and what in the natal chart could point at writing ability or an interest in writing. 

Obviously I like to write. I have written a number of stores/novels since I was twelve years old. ( I have some still and others are lost ). I also like to blog, but when I blog, my writing can become choppy because I write quick. 

I have Mercury-Mars trine ( in fire ) and I often think faster than what I type or talk. Sometimes my mind races and I have all these ideas, but I often have problems putting them down on paper. My fifth house falls in the sign of Cancer, which means that writing is a hobby of mine and I express myself better in writing than in speech. ( It’s the truth! ) I have also a Mercury opposed Jupiter, which does indicate a writing ability, but mostly in the realm of adventure stories. Mercury-Jupiter can also indicate a lacking of seeing the details and the writing may lack depth, or the other way it can manifest is the writing can be either too detailed or too vague. I’ve had people tell me both before. In research papers, I’ve had a professor tell me one part of the essay was too vague and then another was too detailed! In the stories I write I find that to be the case sometimes. 

Here is what I think in MY chart helps writing ability/interest in writing: 

Sagittarius Mercury in the 9th house 

Gemini Jupiter in the 3rd house 

Mercury conj MC 

Mercury trine Mars 

Mercury opposed Jupiter 

Cancer in the 5th house 

When looking at writing, you must first look at Mercury. Any Mercury sign can be good at writing, but the Water Mercury signs ( Scorpio, Pisces and Cancer ) are often the best at writing depth and expressing with the most emotion. My  best friend loves to write and she has Scorpio Mercury in the 10th house; she is very detail oriented and her writing has a great depth and emotional flair. When she writes, the picture is in your mind! Mercuries in Fire are often enthusiastic and funny in writing, but may lack depth or the patience to follow through. Fire Mercuries, esp Sagittarius, are primarily concerned with adventure stories. An Aries Mercury may prefer to write short stories. Mercuries in Earth are precise, logical, and to the point in writing, but may be dry. Writing is best for science or research. Mercuries in Air are good at any form of communication and writing is eloquent and flows well. They can be logical and can make a dry subject seem interesting. 

Mercuries in Virgo and/or Gemini are a good sign to have writing ability, because Mercury rules those signs. 

Mercury in the 3rd house or 9th house can indicate writing ability. Mercury in the 10th house can indicate a career that involves writing. 

Mercury in the 5th house can of course show someone who loves to write. It’s a good indicator of someone who has a hobby of writing. 

The ruler of the 3rd house falling into the 5th house is a possibility. That means if Sagittarius is in your 3rd house and then your Jupiter ( its ruling planet ) is in your 5th house. 

Aspects to Mercury…. Uranus, Neptune, Jupiter, Moon 

Mercury in the 1st house… easy for one to communicate, either vocally or in writing. 

Any other ideas? 

Do you like to write? If so what are some of your placements? 

Little Kidz: Pisces moon

Disclaimer: This post is solely based upon the Moon sign. When you read this whether it’s about yourself, your child, or sibling, you will find some to be true and others. That is because I am talking about possible manifestations. Also, it doesn’t take into consideration the rest of the chart, but especially moon placement and aspects. 

Enjoy :-) 

This is my last one of the “Little Kidz” series. 

A Pisces moon child is sweet and caring, at least most of the time. They are very sensitive and get their feelings hurt easily, even if they don’t show it all the time. There is a soft spot inside of them; they care deeply about other people ( that is, until they realize people suck ) and animals ( but mostly animals ). Pisces moon children like to help other children, whether its with school work, cleaning, chores, or simply helping them with a task. This can be similar to the Virgo-ness of a person, but a Pisces does it because they genuinely want to. Not saying a Virgo doesn’t or anything! 

Sometimes other kids take advantage of the good naturedness of the Pisces moon children. You may want to watch out for the child if they get bullied, or if another kid takes advantage of the Pisces moon’s kindness. If the Pisces moon is insecure, then it is possible for the child to be a bully himself/herself! 

There may be deep rooted insecurities and possible depression, at least in the teen years. But not always. The Pisces moon child is sensitive and gets their feelings hurt, and they like approval from others, but not in the same way Leo moon wants praise and adoration. 

Pisces moon children are fond of music and art, or writing, or anything that allows them to release self expression. If they are not good at art, then they certainly love music and/or art. 

Pisces moon children can pick up when you are not feeling quite right. They know when something is wrong. They are good listeners. 

On the downside, we can see neediness, lack of confidence in some areas, depression, anxiety, restlessness, and a melancholy nature to name a few examples. When the child gets older and enters the teen years, if the moon is afflicted to Neptune or in aspect to Neptune, there could be a tendency to “escape” from everyday life. This could simply be either daydreaming too much, or wallowing in the partying, drug and alcohol lifestyle. There is a gray area, of course. 

Pisces moon children have active imaginations and they are creative, whether it be music, art, writing, or poetry. They may like to draw. They like to daydream, but they must set dreams into motion! 

A Pisces moon child needs a lot of emotional support, especially when they are feeling down. But when they are feeling up, the support helps keep them grounded. They need someone to be sensitive towards their needs, goals, and wants. They do not want rejection or to be made fun of, but no one does. But these kids especially are scared of criticism, at least till they get older and can learn confidence. They need you to believe in them! 

Little Kidz: Aquarius Moon

Disclaimer: This is just based on the Moon sign. You may find that some things I write here apply to you and others do not. That is because we are not looking at entire chart. 

Enjoy :-) 

An Aquarius moon child is simply unique, perhaps his or her mother made the child out to be “special” as he or she grew up. The child grows up feeling different from everyone else, but they like it! An Aquarius moon child often feels like they are the outsiders, looking in from a 3rd perspective. 

You will be surprised at their spoken truth, but it’s not necessarily the same way as an overly blunt, blabber mouth Sagittarius. It’s more like the truth they speak is clear, concise and seems almost adult-like. These children grow up liking science and/or math, or anything that involves innovation and creation. This could range from a space or dinosaur interest to music or art, depending on the kid and the rest of the chart. 

These children love to learn; they seek to understand something. Learning comes easily to them, but some of these children may be talkative and do not concentrate well. 

An Aquarius moon child can be either an introvert or an extrovert, depending on the rest of the chart. Aquarius is ruled by both Uranus ( can go either way ) and Saturn ( which can be more introverted ). 

The child may feel weird sometimes, or may be into things that are considered “weird” for the age range. He/she could be a loner who has all sorts of intriguing interests, or a friendly, yet intellectual kid who hangs out with everyone. 

An Aquarius moon child is interested in what is fair and just in society. They may not think things in society are right and will ask you questions why the world is not the way it is supposed to be. They are typically idealists and will grow to be either more realistic or a balance as they grow older. 

Aquarius moon children typically enjoy being with other kids, but tire of them quickly and need their space to re-energize, especially if they are naturally introverted. 

They need learning and social support from parents and adults in their hobbies and talents. Even if you think its something weird! They need their space and they don’t like being told what to do. Often the child thinks they know more than you. An Aquarius moon child needs freedom; its important to give them choices. A stimulating home environment is a necessity.

The 6th house verses the 12th house: Service

A few weeks ago I mentioned about the 6th house and the 12th house and how both of them have to do with a service. Both houses have a multitude of manifestations, but service is one of them, and a big one at that.

Let’s recap..

The sixth house is about service, pets, food and nutrition, health, details, and routines and rituals, to just name a few. The twelfth house is a difficult concept, but is generally about a service to your fellow human beings, prisons and hospitals, the sick both mentally and physically, dreams, spirituality, your soul, and subconscious. I think it can also represent your fears and failures.

When I think of retail and food joints, I think of the 6th house. When I think of soup kitchens and donating time to the less fortunate, like volunteering at a hospital, I think of the 12th house.

The 6th house is a service you do for yourself, either as a ritual/routine, or for pets,or for co-workers/customers on the job. A good 6th house example is working in retail, like at a grocery store deli, and having to meet the demands of customers and keeping the work area relatively clean. Another example of sixth house is a dental routine or health routine that someone may do an X amount of times a day. Taking care of animals is a 6th house service. Working in healthcare, as a nurse or dietitian, is 6th house.

The 12th house is a service you may do for the greater good for humankind. It is of no benefit to you, but to other people. It is selfless. Volunteering at a soup kitchen JUST because you want to counts as this, NOT if it looks good on a resume. Thats a different story. Volunteering or donating time to the poor, the mentally handicapped, children, and the sick are often issues. A nurse who has a strong deposition to helping the sick ( and I’m talking she really feels for the people and has a personal mission to help the sick ) is a 12th house matter, not a nurse who mainly goes to work for the money and gets patients what they need and in and out. ( Both nurses do a good job though! I am just citing differences ).

Both houses denote a service, but the service is different. We all do a service, whether it’s at work, volunteering, or in our own homes.
