Libra Children

Jupiter expands whatever he touches.  He usually spends about 13 months in each zodiac sign.  His job is to bring joy, adventure, open-mindedness, advanced education, travel, global perspectives, and a sense that we are all one big happy family and not so very different from each other.  Because of his expansive tendencies, he brings “prosperity” and “abundance” to whatever concept he is focused on.  If things are good, he brings an abundance of good.  If things are bad, he brings an abundance of bad.

As 2011 begins, Jupiter is still in Pisces and your sixth house until January 22nd when he moves into Aries and your seventh house.  Normally, Jupiter spends about 13 months in each zodiac sign, but this year it is a bit different.  Jupiter flies through Aries at mach speed and then moves into Taurus and your eighth house on June 4th where he will stay for the rest of this year.

In Pisces, Jupiter focuses on kindness, compassion, charity, emotional well-being, spirituality, intuition, empathy, and bringing a sense of “magic” to the world.

For Libra, this has been happening in your sixth house of daily work, coworkers, productivity, physical health, and “feeling useful”.  Hosting Jupiter in this area of your chart should have been great for your professional goals, but it could have been harmful to your waistline.  Jupiter brings more work, more coworkers, more prosperity, etc to your daily tasks.  You could have found that you were luckier when trying to get key assignments and you were able to accomplish a great deal during this time.  Physically, Jupiter encourages you to eat more, drink more, and to gain more weight.  If you were able to refocus Jupiter’s energy towards physical fitness with a mind-body-spirit type of approach, then you could have seen some lovely results.

In Aries, Jupiter embraces Aries’ pioneering spirit, enthusiasm, fiery passion, and willingness to compete for the sheer entertainment of it.  Unlike Aquarius’ teamwork approach to life, Aries is all about racing to the top and being number one.  Aries is generous, boisterous, and charming.  The competitive nature is not a selfish or mean energy, but a childlike “last one there’s a rotten egg!” type of playful energy.  Jupiter can have great fun bringing more of this optimistic can-do energy into the world.  

For Libra, it happens in your seventh house of marriage, best friends, business partnerships, and competitors (think yin-yang).  Libra rules over this area of the zodiac and so it is only natural that you would want to be number one at choosing great partners and number one at being a great partner.  Your romantic, social, and business partnerships will do well with Jupiter blessing this area of your chart.  If you are looking for a new partner, this could be the time to ask friends and acquaintances to introduce you to all kinds of new people.

In Taurus, Jupiter helps to expand Taurus’ love of financial security, materialism, comfort, status, self-worth, and “mine”.  Taurus rules over assets, wages, salaries, personal wealth, net worth, and one’s sense of self-esteem.  Globally, we will see the economy rebounding in a strong and stable manner.  Like Taurus the Bull, we could also see an increase in stubbornness, caution, and conservatism.  After Aries’ fiery power, it is natural to then move into a strong but quiet personal power.  Taurus loves good food, good wine, a comfortable sized savings account, and the ability to relax and enjoy the finer things in life without fear of poverty or competition.  Jupiter helps to boost this type of environment.

For Libra, Jupiter will be in your eighth house of trust and sharing, intimacy, fidelity, loyalty, joint finances, joint ventures, investments, stock options, commissions, royalties, tips/gratuities, taxes, child support, alimony, inheritances, and other forms of profit sharing.  It is the area of “ours” as opposed to “mine”.  It is about sharing and trusting as opposed to fearing scarcity and greed.  This is a good time for you to make romantic and financial commitments, to work through any trust issues that might be holding you back, and to focus on financial opportunities that are profit based as opposed to hourly wages, monthly salaries, or predictable interest from savings accounts.  Look for investment opportunities where slow and steady wins the race, much like the story of the Tortoise and the Hare.  It is not a fast skyrocketing stock market type of energy, but a cautious well-researched investment that steadily grows and brings you comfort and stability.  The same is true for financial activities involving joint finances, profit sharing, commissions, royalties, inheritances, support payments, etc.

Saturn creates our personal challenges and “tough love” learning experiences.  He usually spends about two and a half years in each zodiac sign.  His job is to create learning experiences that are often uncomfortable but ultimately quite meaningful.  Saturn also rules over karma, cause and effect, ethics, and our sense of civic duty.  Therefore, it is not only important that we learn our life lessons well, but that we also conduct ourselves with honor and integrity while going through these challenges.  If we stay out of trouble, behave ethically, buckle down, and learn our lessons well, then Saturn rewards us with a gift just before he leaves that zodiac sign.  For example, if Saturn were traveling through the area of our charts that deals with professionalism, leadership, and success, then he would teach us some tough lessons about those concepts.  Then, if we learned our lessons and we behaved ourselves while doing so, Saturn would reward us with a job promotion, professional kudos, public recognition, etc.  We would be better at our jobs, better at leading our companies and communities, and/or we would be better at marketing and advertising ourselves.  If on the other hand, we did not learn our lessons, or we were unethical, blamed others for our problems, cheated, lied, etc then Saturn would simply move on to the next zodiac sign and we would have nothing to show for all the drama and trouble that we had just endured.  Saturn gets a bad reputation because many people think he is simply mean for the heck of it, when in actuality, he is like a “tough love” parent forcing us to grow up and act like a responsible adult.  Might not be very fun, but the rewards are well worth it.

As 2011 begins, Saturn is still in Libra and your first house where he will remain until October of 2012.

While in Libra, Saturn focuses on our partnerships.  As you know, Libra rules over marriage, best friends, business partnerships, and competitors (think yin-yang).  While in this zodiac sign, Saturn forces us all to look at who we choose to partner with, what kind of partnerships we like, and how we behave within our partnerships.  It is not uncommon for marriages to suffer, best friends to “break up”, and for business partnerships to dissolve.  Competitors can become vicious, especially if they are pointing out real flaws in our character and not just making stuff up.  Libra rules diplomacy, fairness, justice, and mediation too.  Globally, we could see these topics becoming quite challenging for all countries.  Various government leaders will be challenged to pick carefully which countries they choose to partner with and which they choose to keep as enemies.  They would do well to remember Saturn’s focus on karma, integrity, and civic responsibility.

For Libra, hosting Saturn in your own sign and your first house of “me” can be very painful.  The core of who you are, what you believe in, how you present yourself to the outside world, just being Libra’esque in your life is what is being challenged.  It is easy to feel as if you are in a “damned if you do, damned if you don’t” situation while Saturn travels through the first house.  Your clothing, hairstyle, posture, personality, self-image, and overall presentation are being questioned.  You could find others are judging you, challenging you, and/or just mad at you for being so very “Libra”.  Or you could find that you are the one who is being so critical and hard on yourself.  This is when your own inner-critic is in overdrive.  Remember that the goal is for you to have more self-confidence, to present the best possible version of yourself, and to learn how to showcase your Libra qualities in a favorable and effective manner.  Be open to self-analysis and critiques but be careful not to buy into every single grouchy person’s opinion of you.  After all, the lesson Saturn might choose to teach you is the ability to say, “Your opinion of me is really none of my business!”

Uranus is the eccentric genius, rebellious teenager, and social networking guru of the zodiac.  He usually spends about 7 years in each zodiac sign.  He rules over friends, teams, clubs, committees, professional associations, networking, science (interconnectivity), electricity, and the Internet.  He can bring teamwork, friendships, networking, and a sense of belonging to something bigger than yourself into your life.  He can also bring stubbornness, eccentricity, rebellion, and perversity.  This is because at his core, he is trying to convince us to be our unique individual selves but also to be a great team player.  Thus, like a teenager, he is trying to find himself while being very susceptible to peer pressure.  Those who master Uranus’ teachings often make charming and charismatic leaders.  Uranus also encourages us to think outside the box and brings a certain eclectic brilliance into our lives.  Like the eccentric genius and the rebellious teenager, he brings pleasant surprises and unexpected chaos.  Uranus promotes humanitarian ideals like brotherhood, “all for one and one for all”, and “united we stand, divided we fall.”  He is not asking us to be sheeple, following the crowd mentality with blind faith.  He is asking us to know our unique gifts and to be strong enough in our self-knowledge to be able to work well in a team and to be able to socialize without losing our sense of individuality.

As 2011 begins, Uranus is still in Pisces and your sixth house until March 12th when he moves into Aries and your seventh house where he will stay for the next few years.

There are zodiac signs where Uranus shines and is emboldened to bring about wonderful brotherly love and incredible scientific advances, like when he was in his own zodiac sign, Aquarius from the middle of 1995 until the early part of 2003.  While there, the everyday use of the Internet took root and blossomed.  Prior to that, he was in Capricorn building the systems of the Internet.  Yes, the Internet has been around for a long time, but it was during the time that the planet in charge of the Internet was traveling through the zodiac sign in charge of the Internet, that the Internet seriously began to grow and expand into the incredible tool that it is today.

In Pisces, Uranus is somewhat subdued.  Pisces rules over the hidden forces that work behind the scenes.  Things like mental health, secrets, self-destruction, addictions, spiritual mysteries, bureaucracies, and “fogginess” are ruled by Pisces.  Therefore, we now have gambling, porn, and other self-destructive activities available online.  We also have government bureaucracies trying to legislate for or against Net Neutrality and spam.  We have all kinds of spiritual, mental health, self-help, and “positive attitude” information readily available as well.  Is it any wonder that people are becoming addicted to the Internet?  On the other hand, Uranus’ time in Pisces has helped us to befriend people from all over the world that we otherwise would not have gotten to know.  Global brotherhood is much easier to encompass.  Pisces believes in sacrificing for the greater good and Uranus is a huge fan of humanitarianism.  Together, they bring us websites that work to educate and promote helping those less fortunate in other countries.  Uranus may not have the razzamatazz in Pisces that he has in some other zodiac signs, but he is not without his charms within this area of our lives.

For Libra, this has been occurring in your sixth house of daily work tasks, to-do lists, coworkers, productivity levels, physical health, and feeling useful.  Hosting Uranus in this area of your life can be exhilarating.  If you work in telecommunications, Internet technologies, science, web hosting, handheld electronic devices, and cell phone technology, then you have probably found this to be an excellent energy to host in your daily work sector.  If your job requires teamwork, social networking, large group activities, committees, professional associations, etc, you probably found it much easier to get these groups working together towards a common goal.  At times, coworkers, productivity levels, job assignments, and your health may have been chaotic and uncertain, but overall, things should have been more enthusiastic and brainstorming solutions should have been a bit easier.  You could also have found yourself longing to change jobs or maybe you did jump around from job to job looking for something more meaningful and more inline with your authentic self.  Uranus in the daily work sector is going to push you towards finding work that matches your core personality.  An extrovert is not meant to be working in solitude.  An innovative trendsetter should not be working in a heavily bureaucratic environment.  The idea is that if we find work that matches our natural talents, then we have an easier time succeeding.  We are then able to give better performance levels to our employers.  You are not trying to be a spoiled brat, you are trying to find where you naturally fit into the scheme of things.

Once Uranus moves into Aries, he can have some fun.  Aries is innovative, entrepreneurial, competitive, and loves being the first one to come up with a new idea.  Uranus is in love with new technology, teamwork, being unique while being part of something bigger than one’s self, and a brainstorming genius.  Both are extroverted, social, and stubborn.  Both are clever, fast, and pride themselves on their uniqueness.  Last summer, Uranus enjoyed a lovely visit into Aries and then spent the fall and winter months backtracking through Pisces.  This spring, he will formally move into Aries where he will remain for the next few years.  He was like a teenager visiting a college campus before moving there permanently during the college years.  This first visit into Aries was exhilarating and then going back into Pisces feels stiff and too confining before he makes the official move to Aries.  Globally, we will probably see the Internet and new technology take off like crazy.  It will be interesting to see how the planet of teamwork and brotherly love affects the world while in the zodiac sign of warriors and “me first!”  Does “me” or “we” prevail?

For Libra, Uranus will also be moving into your seventh house of marriage, best friends, business partnerships, and competitors (think yin-yang).  Your various partners will be chaotic, unpredictable, rebellious, and/or stubborn when planets negatively interact with Uranus while he is in this area of your chart.  These same partners will suddenly become charming, funny, team-oriented, brilliant, innovative, and full of pleasant surprises when Uranus interacts positively with various planets.  This hyperactive type of extreme positive, extreme negative drama in a marriage or business partnership can be very disruptive.  If a best friend is going through it, we can write it off as if they are just going through some type of metamorphosis – which they are.  (Your partners are learning to embrace their unique individuality and independence while also being great team players and part of something bigger than themselves.)  When a business partner or spouse is going through this kind of upheaval, it is very difficult to cope.  It is not unusual for one or both of you to decide that the partnership is no longer working and to want to end the relationship.  It is not so much because you no longer care about each other, but that it is easy to conclude that ending the partnership is the only answer to creating stability in your own life.  Unfortunately, all that means is that you get to then embark on a roller coaster of dating or interviewing potential business partners that is just as crazy and unpredictable.  You see, it is your partnership sector that is hosting Uranus’ genius, charm, and rebellion, so you will have to deal with it regardless.  To a point, it is about your ability to cope with chaos, extreme good and extreme bad in a partnership.  Your competitors could become a bigger than normal problem too.  This is because they can trick you into thinking that they want to create an alliance or team approach to things and then they can abruptly stab you in the back for trusting them.  This is a difficult placement, but not without its charms.  Internet dating, Internet business partnerships, and entrepreneurial activities should flourish.

Neptune tries to bring emotional well-being, spirituality, and a touch of magic to whatever he touches.  Unfortunately, he also has a tendency to bring self-destruction, bureaucracies, and gullibility too.  He usually spends about 14 years in each zodiac sign.  Neptune rules over mental health, attitudes, intuition, secrets, spiritual mysteries, paranormal activities, charities, bureaucracies, and other hidden forces that work behind the scenes.  If things are good, he brings compassion and a touch of magic.  If things are bad, he brings delusions and fogginess.

As 2011 begins, Neptune is still in Aquarius and your fifth house.  However, from April 4th through August 4th he will be making a preview visit into Pisces and your sixth house.

In Aquarius, Neptune has been behaving in sort of a yin-yang energy to Uranus.  Uranus has been in Neptune’s zodiac sign and Neptune has been in Uranus’ zodiac sign.  They are each doing their thing, but focusing on the other’s topics.  While Uranus has been creating brotherhood online, Neptune has been trying to make mental health, spirituality, and bureaucracies work for everyone.  One brings teamwork to humanitarian causes; the other brings humanitarian causes to teamwork.  One says, “I am mentally healthy and self-assured so that I can be a great team player.”  The other says, “I am a great team player so that I can feel mentally healthy and self-assured.”  Is it any wonder that “Yes we can” became the global motto in 2008?  To some, it is a delusional concept full of lollypop dreams and gullible “kool-aid” drinking.  To others, it is the logical and necessary blending of global teamwork and universal compassion.

For Libra, Neptune has been blessing your fifth house of personal pleasure, romance, lovers, playtime, children, pets, hobbies, creative talents, music, theater, the arts, luxury, and happiness.  You already approach these topics from an Aquarian “all for one and one for all”, brotherhood, and originality perspective.  You naturally have a “live and let live” approach to your own happiness and towards allowing others to find their own path to personal happiness.  With Neptune traveling through here over the last few years, you have found this to become an almost spiritual belief system.  Helping others, finding inner peace, being a loving and compassionate person towards yourself and others has become just that much easier.  You find joy in helping others find joy.  You love falling in love with the ideals of humanitarian concepts.  You could never be happy at the expense of others.  Your love life can be magical and beautiful, but it could also be delusional and so focused on an ideal soulmate that you actually stop yourself from being able to maintain a loving relationship.  You could love your children so much that you are blind to their flaws.  You could push for fun and playtime to the point that you are addicted or self-destructive.  Your heart is pure and your motives are wonderful, but you can have trouble seeing where fantasy and idealism stops and reality begins.  This is one of the best areas of the chart to suffer such overwhelming compassion and idealism.

In Pisces, Neptune is literally at home.  Neptune rules over Pisces and the concepts of mental health, attitudes, addictions, self-destruction, dishonesty, gullibility, emotional well-being, inner peace, intuition, secrets, spiritual mysteries, paranormal activities, charities, hospitals, prisons, corporations, bureaucracies, and other hidden forces that work behind the scenes.  Neptune will be stronger here than he has been in a very long time.  He will do his best to bring out the loving, compassionate, peaceful, charitable, and magical elements of Pisces.  However, there will be times when other planets are clashing with Neptune and he will instead bring deceit, delusion, and bureaucratic red tape into our lives.

For Libra, Neptune will be in your sixth house of daily work, coworkers, productivity, physical health, and “feeling useful”.  Professionally, Neptune encourages you to work in industries that are spiritual, compassionate, and that are focused on serving others rather than on your own ego’s desires.  If you choose a professional path based on your own personal aspirations, then you could find mysterious roadblocks, head games, deceptions, secret enemies, etc are keeping you from advancing.  Careers based on helping others will be mostly protected from these types of events.  Physically, you could be persuaded to try unusual diets, fitness schemes, etc based on trying to eliminate something from your diet or in an attempt to follow a spiritual path.  You need to be careful and make sure that you are not being gullible and allowing people to convince you to live an unhealthy lifestyle even if it is for what you think is a noble cause.  You also need to be very careful to avoid drug and alcohol related illnesses and various types of poisoning and infections.  I am not saying that you will be sickly, only that it is much easier than normal to fall prey to unseen contaminants and to unknowingly harm your health despite good intentions.

Pluto psychoanalyzes, empowers, and/or heals whatever he touches.  He has an uneven pattern and can spend as little as 13 years or as much as 32 years in any given zodiac sign.  His job is to uncover the hidden truths within our lives and to either empower us with passion and self-righteousness, or to heal us by forcing us to go through a Phoenix Rising type of experience.  It can be painful to endure Pluto’s scrutiny, but it can ultimately prove to be incredibly uplifting.  Personal rebirth is often the result of Pluto’s passage through certain areas of our life.  Pluto rules over trust and sharing.  It is often through hidden motivations, hidden assets, hidden agendas, hidden resources, and/or through loyalty and fidelity matters that we find out what we are really made of and we find out what our partners are really made of.  Pluto can reveal gifts, assets, stamina, and psychological resources that we had no idea existed within ourselves.  And Pluto can reveal the selfish, greedy, and emotionally crippling aspects of ourselves too.  All too often, he uses our need for sexual intimacy and financial teamwork (trust and sharing) to teach us these lessons.  The reason that Scorpios are known to be so revengeful is because Scorpio co-rules over the trust and sharing concepts with Pluto.  Breaking trust is the worst thing you can do to a Scorpio.  From Scorpio’s perspective, nothing could possibly be more important than the ability to trust others.

As 2011 begins, Pluto is still in Capricorn and your fourth house.  He moved into this area of your life in 2008 and will stay here until January 2024.

In Capricorn, Pluto focuses on doing the right thing because it is the right thing to do.  Capricorn rules over professionalism, leadership, goals and aspirations, success, civic duty, public recognition, and earning the respect of our peers.  Remember earlier when we talked about Saturn and how he teaches us about karma, cause and effect, and “tough love” style life lessons.  Saturn rules Capricorn and so Capricorn embraces the concepts of “tough love”, doing one’s civic duty, and ideas like “If I don’t take care of this, who will?”  When in Sagittarius, Pluto promoted exploring the world and all of the various cultures, peoples, religions, etc.  Sagittarius promoted freedom to explore and to dabble in various religious and cultural teachings.  The idea that all religions are more alike than different and therefore we can pick and chose bits and pieces of which ones we like is a very Sagittarian approach to religion and spirituality.  We focused on global travel, politics, and mass media.  Pluto had a good time digging deep down into the truth about our political beliefs, our religious practices, our international diplomacy, and such.  Now, he is focusing on the business systems, ethics, integrity, and professionalism of our world.  Do the large corporations follow ethical business practices?  Do we have integrity in our government agencies?  Do we as individuals, as communities, as states, as countries… do we take on a parental role and look out for those in need or do we focus on our own personal agendas?  It may not feel like a lot of fun, but this is the perfect energy for fixing the economic system, the environmental policies, the human rights violations, the health care system, welfare programs, voting fraud, etc.  Big systems that are broken can be fixed, healed, restructured, and/or demolished in a smart and tenacious manner.  We have the planet of passion, truth, and rebirth focused on the zodiac sign of responsibility, integrity, and leadership.

For Libra, Pluto is in your fourth house of real estate, housing matters, roommates, parents, childhood issues, retirement circumstances, and “coming home”.  You could find great profits and personal growth if you work in real estate, mortgages, hospice care, retirement planning, landscaping, interior decorating, home construction, remodeling, home improvements, and/or anything in the “home” industries.  This includes running a business out of your home.  Telecommuting may also work well for you, but not as much as those industries focusing on the concept of “home”.  This is also an excellent time for healing your childhood issues, forgiving your parents, and/or for learning how to be a more dependable roommate.  If you live with a lover or spouse, you could find that your love life is really boosted by this new energy in your private life.  If you are planning to retire soon, this is a great energy for helping you to create a stable comfortable retirement situation for yourself.  You have the planet in charge of profit sharing, fidelity, psychological forces, and hidden truths in the house of “home”, retirement, parents, and roommates.  This is also an excellent time for psychological, spiritual, and romantic healing, growing, and exploring.  The energy encourages you to create a safe, loving, trusting, and financially stable home life for yourself over the next few years.

There are times during any given year when these big slow moving planets clash with each other and create a huge uproar in everyone’s life and there are times when they team up together to accomplish great things in our lives.  More detailed forecasts explaining how these slow moving planets will interact with each other (including how the faster more temperamental planets will affect us) are also available.
