Well, it’s shaping up to be a hell of a Blue Moon period during multiple retrogrades here in the kitchen. One close relative in the emergency room with heart related problems, another one in and out of urgent care needing we-don’t-know-what and the actual full moon isn’t until tomorrow. Fun and games, fun and games.
So a friend had a question. Well, it was more of a statement: “having a panic attack over money and ft at work. Any advice?”
Ok, let’s unpack. A panic attack about money implies that money is tight. Having a panic attack about “ft at work” – she’s not full time and wants to be? She is full time and that’s causing her panic? We wait with bated breath for the response!
While we wait, let us have a quick boo at her chart. She is in a 19/1 personal year that began at her birthday in May. This is a karmic personal year in which the covers will be thrown back and all of the things that need fixing will be on display. The 19/1 vibration corresponds to The Sun in Tarot. Although this is generally seen as a good card, in numerology it is considered to be a malefic. This is because under the influence of 19/1, nothing can hide. All is rendered visible. This pattern is at it’s strongest in the first third of the cycle and so the worst of the karmic shit show is happening now.
What does this mean?
It means that the curtains are wide open and the light is streaming in as we speak, illuminating all that needs tending to. This is both good and bad. It’s good because we need to know what needs fixing. It’s bad because the 19/1 vibration has no sense of pretension or decorum and does it all PUBLICLY. See that kid on the horse, on The Sun card? He’s buck arse naked IN FRONT OF EVERYONE, with a big shit eating grin on his face, no less.
Prior to this, she was in an 18/9 personal year, visually expressed as The Moon in Tarot. This means that things were quietly falling away and she may have been seeing things as much rosier than they actually were. Such is the power of The Moon: under the moonlight things are obscured and the stuff that looks big and scary isn’t. However, it can distract you from the things that you can’t see in the dark, that continue to lurk in the background, causing you issues, until The Sun happens and they’re put on display for everyone to see. These are the things that you suspect aren’t right but since they’re not in your face demanding attention, they’re easy to forget about and because they’re obscured they’re difficult to investigate. Or they are things you didn’t even see coming because you were so distracted by big looking things that weren’t really a problem.
Ok, so I cast a Mahabote chart to have a quick glance at her year. From January to her birthday in May she actually was under a Moon minor period. At the same time that she was in a numerological personal year ruled by the Moon as well. HA! Now she’s in a Mars minor period and will be until her birthday next year in May. So for almost the first half of this year things were brewing under the surface. Her spidey senses probably tingled because The Moon is her birth planet, owing to the fact that she was born before sunrise on a Tuesday. This makes her technically Monday born in Mahabote and therefore a Moon person.
She strives to always be a moral, lawful person (Jupiter in Kingly) and what people can see a mile away is kindness and compassion (Venus in Fame). Her Moon in Wealth means that she can read people like an open book, and below Mercury in Leader, she’s very good at ferreting out the truth. She also has a bit of head vs heart conflict going on. Saturn in Impermanence means that groundedness is not always within reach. Especially with the Moon above it, she can go off on a tangent and let her imagination run wild with all manor of frightening things. The Sun in Sickly shows issues with identity and self worth. Awww, hugs!!! Mars in Extremity with Mercury in Leader and Moon in Wealth show someone who calls shit out, In her youth she probably had quite the temper and took a lot of things very, very personally. It’s still there but her lack of orange attire means that in her adulthood she has learned to manage it better.
That’s preamble. OK, we have a response. She isn’t currently full time at work and this is causing issues. Let’s have a looky-look:
This year Jupiter is transiting her natal House of Fame where Venus resides. Venus is visiting the House of Impermanence where Saturn resides. Venus rules the merchant’s scales but she does not like being in Saturn’s house. The House of Impermanence is an especially tense house for this aspect. Money will be tight this year. As long as she sticks to a budget she should be OK. Venus brings some of her own house with her when she transits Impermanence so it is possible that unexpected expenses will rear their heads. Venus is strongest in the middle third of her transit, which is right now. Money issues will most likely ease up in September although they won’t go away entirely. Its going to be a tight year.
Now with Jupiter visiting Fame, he brings with him some of his House of Kingly Position. This house shows where we try the hardest to be perfect. Jupiter lends this morality and upright behaviour to the House of Fame. So in case she hasn’t figured it out, she’s going to become a bit loud about issues concerning work and she’s going to broadcast her opinions far and wide. This transit is also good for political involvement and having people behind you so if she was wanting to become a voice for issues within her profession. Coincidentally enough Jupiter relates to teaching and she works in education.
The Moon is transiting natal Mars and transit Mars is visiting the House of Leader. My friend needs to take care not to read more than is necessary into things. She also needs to rein in her expectations and not become too attached to the outcome of things this year. This will be hard for someone with natal Moon in Wealth. However, that Mars transiting Mercury in Leader gives her just the touch of bitch that she needs to turn that Jupiter into a loud, activist voice that rallies people and makes them aware of what is going on in education in her province right now. This could be a good year to become politically active and with natal Moon in Wealth strengthened by being her birth planet and natal Venus in the House of Fame, she really does care about the well being of others, community wide.
The ten year long Saturn major period that she is two years into is another indicator that she becomes more focused on such matters. Saturn cycles make us more serious. We work harder and longer. Our friendship circles change to become more “useful” – the flakier relationships tend to fall away, to be replaced by relationships with people that are more aligned with our long term vision. We take better care of ourselves. Saturn makes us aware of our boundaries and what resources we have to work with. If you are good at functioning with strict parameters this is a great time to shine. If you have difficulty with this then this period will be more difficult because there is less freedom and autonomy, but if you can learn to work with less you can come out a winner. We learn a lot about ourselves during Saturn periods and this is why I like Saturn so much.
And that’s all I’ve got for now! So remember, as you move forward in life, let shit unfold and be excellent to each other!!
