Your Life Progressions for Oct 01, 2000
Leo on the First Cusp
You possess a personal magnetic appeal that draws admiration from
others. You have self-assurance, coupled with a dramatic flair that
desires to be the center of attention. You may speak more loudly than
you have in the past. You want very much for others to hear your
opinions and may, at times, be too aggressive in the attempt. Upgrading
your appearance is important, as you seek the latest styles and better
quality. You want to project an air of authority, and you long for
personal independence in your career. If you do not have your own
business, you would prefer the role of leadership in a supervisory
position. This is the time to undertake new studies that can aid you in
the career of your choice. Romance and investments are highlighted --
as are the affairs of children (not necessarily your own). Someone
within your immediate environment may experience problems with their
eyes, back, or heart. The position of your progressed ascendant ruler,
Sun, can provide additional insight into new circumstances and
motivational influences touching your life at this time.
Ascendant in Sagittarius
Key Quality
Your inner inclination to give everyone their due and the benefit of
the doubt may make your affections appear too spread out or uncommitted
to some, when in fact the opposite is the case. You are intensely
loyal, just not blindly exclusive.
Virgo on the Second Cusp
Constructive developments, either through work or business, can enhance
your financial structure. Although formerly you may have detested
routine work, you will probably find yourself in a position where
proper attention to details will be required. Your daily routine may
involve keeping records of travel expenses or of special equipment
purchased in your line of work. You may be spending more than you have
in the past for health care or products -- not necessarily for
yourself, but possibly for your marriage partner or a domestic pet.
Uranus in the Second House
There is the element of the unexpected that colors your financial
picture. A new situation is developing that proves interesting, yet
disruptive, in the steady flow of monetary gain. It may be a new job,
or perhaps a side job in which there is fluctuation of earnings. Sudden
gains appear through the most unusual and unexpected situations.
However, losses can occur just as abruptly through the business, car,
or home, requiring expensive computer, battery, or electrical repairs.
Friends, clubs, organizations, or attending seminars or conventions can
prove gainful or stressful concerning financial affairs.
Pluto in the Second House
Joint monetary resources will play a dominate role in your life during
this trend. You will either give investments serious consideration,
consolidate your bills, pay off a mortgage, apply for a loan, go
bankrupt, or increase your insurance. If you are married, your spouse
may go on social security, sick benefits, or an early retirement. There
is the possibility of working in collaboration with others on a project
that involves joint monetary arrangements. You may be placed in a
position of writing payroll checks, handling insurance claims, making
out wills, working in the medical field, or in any position where you
have control over a department, people, or machinery. IRS auditing is
possible, so keep good payroll records and precise income tax
deductions.
Libra on the Third Cusp
Circumstances warrant a diplomatic approach in your everyday contact
with others. You may find yourself in the role of doing public
relations work where finesse, charm, and a persuasive manner are a
must. You may make a considerable number of short trips in connection
with pleasures, social activities, and business. Companionships will be
an essential factor to your mental well being, as you find little
pleasure in doing things alone. It is possible that you may enter into
some kind of mutual enterprise with a brother or sister. In other
cases, you may have to keep records for your marriage or business
partner.
Scorpio on the Fourth Cusp
There appears to be a lot of tension, emotional upheaval, and turbulent
events surrounding your home life. This may account for your desire to
be a loner, remain aloof, and keep your private life to yourself.
Changes are likely to occur regarding property and finances. Severe
weather conditions may have damaged your home, requiring insurance
settlements and a rebuilding of the unit. Or, job and marriage
difficulties may call for a second mortgage. In some cases there is
loss of a family member, usually a grandparent. Whatever the situation
may be, you have the extraordinary will-power to handle it. This sign
is associated with surgery on the sexual parts in connection with one
of the parents.
Neptune in the Fourth House
Psychic ability is enhanced. An interest in music may encourage you to
purchase a piano, organ, or another instrument for your home. Unusual
conditions may surround various members of your family. A child may
require corrective braces on their feet. Your home may take on a
hospital atmosphere when a parent or marriage partner develops an
illness requiring constant care, nursing, or medication be
administered. Look for your ideal home during a rainstorm to eliminate
the possibility of a leaky roof or basement. Be on the alert for gas
odors, or sewer and plumbing problems. Secret or mysterious situations
may surround your home base or the affairs of a family member.
Sagittarius on the Fifth Cusp
It is possible to play the role of instructor during this trend. You
are quite versatile in your hobbies and talents. Why not contact your
local adult education center and see what you can offer? You are less
intense in your romantic attachments, seeking partners that are more
outgoing, sports minded, and of the same intellectual caliber. Children
are thinking about a college education. Others may move to distant
cities, which may activate future travels on your part. At some point
during this trend, you may have to assist a child in resolving a legal
issue. Your second sibling may temporarily relocate. If interested in
investments, look to foreign products, exports, airlines, and sporting
goods.
Capricorn on the Sixth Cusp
You are developing strong traits in organizing ability, efficiency, and
acceptance of responsibility. You work well alone, and at some time
during this trend, you may have to work the evening or night shift.
There is a strong possibility you may work for the government, or there
may be a governmental contract at your place of employment that
requires you to wear an identification badge during this trend. If you
are on salary, there is the tendency for supervisors to burden you with
more than your share of work. Your only alternative is to demand extra
monetary compensation. Make it a point to have lots of hot beverages
and plenty of soup during winter months to keep the body temperature
warm.
Aquarius on the Seventh Cusp
Friends, clubs, and associations will be instrumental in providing you
with an active social life. You are seeking a marriage or business
partner who can act independently and decisively -- but not
erratically, for you are a fixed sign and like a certain amount of
routine in your everyday existence. Accept your partner's needs and
desires for close friendships, whether you approve of them or not.
Pisces on the Eighth Cusp
You have a vivid imagination when it comes to sexual fantasy. The ideal
romantic atmosphere would include a mixed drink or two, a sheer nighty,
dim lights, soft music, and the pitter-patter of rain drops on the
window pane. You are also quite sensitive and easily hurt if someone
should criticize your sexual proclivities. Always make it a point to
save your receipts and records with major purchases. It will help you
avoid a constant flow of confusion through billing systems and
computers that keep insisting you owe them money. Be alert to possible
deception through partnership funds or investment schemes. During this
trend it is possible that institutional or private care of someone who
is emotionally, mentally, or physically ill may be financially draining.
Aries on the Ninth Cusp
Distant matters, higher education, and travel will require your
personal attention. It is possible you will take a course in the
martial arts or learn the basic rules of sports such as volleyball ball
or racquetball. You may have to travel alone from time to time, perhaps
in connection with your vocation. Legal action on your part is likely
to be over mechanical defects of a large purchase or a possible
accident.
Sun in Taurus
Your progressed Sun in Taurus projects more fixity of purpose in your
character. You have an amiable disposition, steadfast and patient. You
are slower to anger than in the past, yet you can be furious when
enraged. There is greater pride in personal possessions, and a fondness
for the beautiful and artistic. Your impulsive tendencies are lessening
somewhat, as you become more conservative and give more thought to new
ideas and projects. This new sustained attitude can be most fortunate
in accumulation of wealth and possessions, providing greater success
through discriminative and practical handling of business affairs. The
patronage of women and other contacts with wealthy or influential
individuals may have a positive influence upon your personal endeavors.
Be careful that you do not permit others to be a source of financial
drain upon your resources.
Sun in the Ninth House
This is the house of personal protection, influence, and good fortune.
Your lofty aspirations and desire for public recognition can be
achieved through higher education. Creative talents are best expressed
through wide-scale media. Working with radio, television, or
publications can increase self-confidence and assist in bolstering your
ego. Professional people of wealth and prominence, and those of vastly
different backgrounds, are likely to touch upon your life. Men can be
of valuable assistance by opening the door to opportunities for future
gains and advancements. This placement is associated with travel or
communications with those in distant cities, in-laws, and people
involved with religion. Circumstances may bring you in touch with
someone who is undergoing difficult legal action.
Sun Sesquiquadrate Uranus (Prg-Nat) Orb: 00°15'
Separating
This is a challenging influence that can produce great stress in one's
life. A belligerent attitude may incline you to be abrupt and irritable
with close ties. Loss of temper, impatience, and an offensive manner
will tend to make enemies. Friends will begin to take a disliking
toward you. In return, you will build an inner resentment toward them.
This is an unsettling period in which sudden and unexpected changes may
force you into a completely different direction that you may not like.
Try to avoid provoking others into severing ties that you will later
regret. This is not the best time for travel, or joining clubs and
organizations.
Venus in Aries
The planet Venus is associated with sociability, love, and sense of
harmony. Now that she has progressed into the positive sign of Aries,
you will not be as vulnerable in love relationships as you have been in
the past. You will be more aggressive and, at times, take the
initiative where action is slow in developing. Be alert to new creative
ideas and, if single, new love interests. Guard against extravagance
and impulsive spending. Don't be too hasty in joining partnerships or
entering into marriage. Give yourself time to evaluate the pros and
cons of every new venture or opportunity that is destined to come your
way.
Venus in the Ninth House
Your attractive personality, grace, charm, and tactful manner, increase
popularity with others. There is a good deal of interest and
appreciation for the fine arts and music. Your diplomatic nature would
be a big plus in public relations work or the media. It is how you
express your words, not what you say, that sways the public to your
line of thought. There is great rapport with foreigners and with women
you meet while traveling. These individuals can be of beneficial
assistance and may provide opportunities for future expansion and
financial gain. You love to travel, but it must be first class all the
way. Romance appears likely with a person of a different background or
educational level, or someone you meet through travel conditions.
