Astrological and Tarot Predictions by KERRY 866-395-1340

Lets celebrate the potential of the next three months until the Winter Solstice. This will be an eventful period with a much anticipated election occuring during this time.  So these are my predictions.  Although I choose to look at things politically, you can still apply the basics to your personal life.
Astrologers note:  All technical astrology terms will appear in brackets.  For those who haven’t a clue, just proceed with the regular text. 

(I use a solar chart with zero degree house cusps. 0 degrees Libra on the Ascendant, 0 degrees Scorpio on the 2nd, and so forth.)

(Sun on Ascendant in Libra square Moon in Cancer on Mid Heaven)
How we see ourselves ~ tactful, charming, and diplomatic; trying to find balance between two very divided political parties; dependent on others; and geared towards compromise ~ conflicts with our public persona.  The world at large sees us a “united” country that is very nuturing and protective of itself and perhaps using the metaphor of Cancer/The Crab, impervious of what others think. 
(The Sun in an out-of-sign square to Pluto in Sagittarius)  We have a serious conflict overseas that is not going to be easily negotiated.  The positive spin given by those in power is hard for us to swallow.
(The Moon is opposite the Pluto/Jupiter mid-point forming a T-square of sorts with the Sun) We are looking to our foreign allies to help us which is in opposition to our on best interests.  (Jupiter in the 4th) We need to rely on ourselves which is going to get more difficult as a major recession is upon us.  (Wait until Pluto moves into Capricorn!)  Outsourcing is defeating our own purpose as a nation that needs to come together now!!

(Venus in Libra in the first house but close to the second house cusp)  We could be feeling positive and optimistic during this time frame, especially about our financial picture.  (Venus is exactly sextile to Pluto, modern ruler of 2nd house, Scorpio)  We are ready to embrace radical “change” now and transform our spending habilts!  ( Saturn in the 12th house, trine Jupiter in the 4th) There’s a quiet stirring of downsizing going on all around us as people accept the need to make economical sacrafices.  We’re keeping the faith that hard work will pay off and our basic needs will be met.  This enables us to be practical and responsible. 
There is also the push behind the scenes towards alternative medicine as a remedy to our current healthcare situation.  And we’re discipling ourselves in regards to the environment.

(Mars conjunct Mercury in Libra, 1st house) We’re passionate about banding together, speaking out, and unifying our nation, but also reaching out to others to help us solve our inner conflicts and national crisis.  (Mars & Mercury trine Neptune and loosely the North Node/Chiron conjunction in Aquarius)  It looks like there may be some relief or at least an impasse to the gas/oil issue. 
In addition, we’re working to heal our collective wounds, mainly by re-opening them.  This election is a good example as we bridge racial and gender gaps. (The Aquarius stellium in the 5th house)  We can reach out through our youth to help spread the message of equality.  Perhaps by using creative means?

I like to use a 5 degree orb for all the major aspects but use your own discretion.  Look at Aspects both Natally & Transiting; also the Sign & House positions in your Natal & Solar Charts.

Nodes - based on the Moons path around the Earth’s ecliptic; 19 year cycle.  Often referred to as the ‘Dragons Head’ (North) & ‘Dragons Tail’ (South).  Always in opposing signs at the same degree.

 North Node (looks like an upsidedown horseshoe) - one’s destiny in their current life time; what you should be working towards; not familiar energy because it’s new; need to work at it for positive growth & development
 South Node (looks like a regular horseshoe) - one’s karma; baggage from past life(ves); placement in chart where issues are possibly unresolved and can arise -can be self sabotage (12th house expression); feels very familiar but you should be moving away from it in this life.  Look closely to conjunctions.
 
Part of Fortune (Circle with an X through it) - just that! Where you can expect luck - either materially, physically or spiritually;  where you’re innately talented/gifted

Vtx - Vertex - another point of destiny & fate; also deep feeling; look to sign & house; compare the degree with other peoples charts!  My Vertex, located in my 5th house of romance, conjuncts my husbands Moon/Jupiter conjunction in his 1st, at the exact degree.

 EQ - Equatorial Asc - like a 2nd Asc.; how you see yourself; can be a health indicator.

 Chiron (Looks like a K with a circle) - Asteroid discovered in 1977, between Saturn & Uranus.  Returns every 50 years.  Its discovery could be associated with the New Age Movement & Alternative Healing gathering more mainstream attention.  Because it lies between Saturn & Uranus, it provides a ‘bridge’ between the personal planets to the outer planets, representing the bridge between the conventional & unconventional, the conscious to the unconscious, & the personal to the collective.  Has an Aquarian feel in that it is a Maverick; doesn’t quite fit in anywhere.  Often referred to as the “Wounded Healer”.  It’s representation in the Natal Chart, by Sign & House,  shows a karmic wound that defies complete healing.   It’s  a deep hurt that you’ll always work at, at a very person level.   Look to sign & house  to see where you may feel rejected or out of  place.  It can literally describe health - physical or mental.  It particularly lends itself to alternative healing since Chiron is so unconventional, & perhaps psychotherapy given it’s chronic nature.  Chiron is the wound we deal with for life so look to transiting Aspects to reopen it.  The theory is we must go beyond personal boundaries and heal others, in order to heal ourselves.   If Chiron conjuncts a planet in another persons chart, you may help them to heal; look to the energy of that planet, ie: One’s Chiron conjunct another’s Venus could mean they have a karmic duty to heal that person through love &/or pain. ?
Chiron may also be associated with an unusual or unexpected death(s) and leave strange repercussions with remaining loved ones. (I got this from a book - thoughts?)

Finally a breather as Pluto and Jupiter turn direct in motion ~ aka power and success move forward.  Mercury will go retrograde on the 24th so we are in it’s shadow until then.  (For more info on MR please see my blog Mercury Retrograde.)  There are many positive forces this month, helping us to learn, grow, and prosper!

VIRGO
Happy birthday to the most sensible, hardworking, and pragmatic sign of the zodiac! 
Onward and upward, steady as you go!  While things continue to move slowly, know you’re on path and that long deserved rewards await you next year.  You’ll gain immense satisfaction looking back at how far you’ve come and how hard you’ve worked to get there.  This year will certainly seem a lot easier than the last few. 
Children continue to move forward with lessons well learned.  They should be in a period of growth and illumination.  This year is the start of a major transformation for them.
Amorous adventures inspire your creativity as love and romance get grounded and geared toward the future.  This month is highly favorable for close encounters, especially the 1st-6th. You’re on the verge of a very passionate dynamic that will define your love nature for years to come.  There’s a deep intensity coming to all social encounters. 
Long term relationships and partners still remain unpredictable.  There’s a push/pull dynamic between your need for security and stability vs your need for independence.  This month highlights learning from previous mistakes.  You could hear from an old love, after the 23rd.
Your past also plays a role in health and work endeavors.  Don’t repeat behaviors that aren’t good for you!  Falling back on karmic tendencies can lead to depression or self undoing.  Exercise discretion with all medications and focus on your future.  Meditation, massage, aroma therapy and spiritual endeavors can benefit the job environment and work wonders for your physical body.  These cures can also work for pet ailments that are hard to diagnose.
Now is the time to focus on your over all well being.  Your vitality gets a boost after the 7th.  Implement a new exercise routine or structure your eating habits.  You’re the most nutritional and environmental sign of  the zodiac. 
Don’t over do it the 19th-23rd.  At the same time drive cautiously and bite your tongue.
Communication is delicate all month, with the possibility of rushing to judgment, especially with your money.  You’ll be super motivated to earn and to spend,  so exercise caution and pay attention to details.  Financial discussions are favored the 6th-15th and you may be overly idealistic the 16th-30th. 
This year is really about focusing on your own forward progress and not taking on more than you can handle.  Do the unimaginable and spoil yourself!!!
 
ARIES
This month highlights all relationships and work/career endeavors. Your job sector is favored for steady progress, especially the 1st-6th.  Educational, publishing, spiritual, legal, and travel pursuits, all move forward after the 7th.  Some frustration is possible the 19th-23rd.  It’s time to establish long term plans.
Partnerships are passionate the 6th-15th and communication is excellent.  You’ll be referencing past topics and realigning your goals, hope, and dreams the 16th-30th. 
Don’t cave into anxiety.  Instead, be inspired by replaying your dreams and listening to your intuition!
