The planetary energies flow together, open into new possibilities, new connections.
During this period of time, your mental energy is both more inspired and more confused than usual. You may also feel more attuned to others during this period of time, and you might even find you have an almost psychic ability to understand their thoughts Your own ideas may also be more inspired than usual, especially in the more "fuzzy" areas of thought as differentiated from hard and fast logic. You should try to avoid taking drastic action based on your reasoning during this period of time, preferring to wait until you have had ample time to reflect. You are good at blending your thoughts with others, at this time, and will likely feel an increased sense of compassion towards them. This is one of the treasures of this energy. Although there can be drawbacks, in terms of confusion or unclear communications with others, this period of time can be a great benefit for yourself and any and all of your associations.

The planetary energies conflict; internal and creative tensions bring rich rewards through effort over time.
Your psyche is subject to a stressful and potentially vitalizing period of time. The very structure of your life may be changing as you undergo painful realizations, leading to a great metamorphosis in your self-concept. At this time also, difficulties with authority figures may emerge, or your relationship with your father may be challenging, or the way you live your life in relation to the structure of society itself may be coming to a point where changes that have been in the works for some time are ready to burst forth into your conscious awareness. There may be old wounds with your father, or with the parental care and discipline you received in early childhood, that re-emerge at this time, hopefully for purposes of healing these issues and the potentially debilitating effects that they may have on your life. You may have prior difficulties with either rebellion or too great an attachment to authority that come to the surface at this time, when the rules and boundaries that you operated within for quite a long time may be in process of transformation. Often our sense of responsibility and the corresponding societal structure we have internalized during our formative years is a poor fit to our more mature and evolved understanding. It is difficult to give up old patterns, but If you can possess your individual sense of responsibility, as Astrologer Caroline Casey says "own your Saturn", you may become free for the first time of received opinions from consensus reality and be able to finally march to the beat of your own drum.

The planetary energies attract each other, require effort, allow entry of new information.
You are particularly receptive to the moods of other people. What is affected is the female or instinctual part of your nature, and also your relations with your children or loved ones. These areas become more sensitive, and possibly more clouded with illusion during this transit. You will likely be more forgiving and compassionate toward others at this time. You may also be more willing to do things for others than normally, and you may wind up feeling taken advantage of as a result. You would do well to set some limits for yourself -- doing what you feel is right for you and not what others demand.

The planetary energies do not flow smoothly, one or the other predominates; discrimination must be employed.
You may be in for a rough time, as structures of your life that had previously supported you no longer serve their earlier purpose, and transform themselves in your life. There is always pain surrounding changes of this magnitude, and you are well advised to "go with the flow" at this time, as difficult as that may be, and just let it happen. All your attempts to hold on to a previous reality will only make you crazy, whereas if you accept the inevitability of change you can even start to enjoy the process and feel exhilarated by it, like rocking along on a roller coaster engaged in the swooping scenery. With this transit, you may experience intimations of other worlds beyond this present one. Sexual experience may provide the gateway into the hidden world of the dark places in the human psyche, yours or another person's. Old wounds that can be inhibiting and crippling until explored and come to terms with may begin to open themselves up to you. Ultimately, this process can only be for good effect on the evolutionary path of your life, as getting in touch with your shadow side will let these forces breathe and have their communion with your consciousness, rather than remaining in the dark to fester. When you have integrated these dark ambassadors from the underworld of your own psyche, they can become powerful forces for healing as your outlook changes and you become better able to relate to yourself, and others around you as well.

The planetary energies are positively linked, subtle, and spiritual in dimension.
You are in for a potentially confusing period of uncertainty. The habitual structure of your life may be called into question at this time by new insights and awareness, perhaps in the direction of greater compassion and concern for others. You may be feeling unsure about making changes that seem to be calling out to you right now from your spiritual center, but when the current period of time passes, you may feel good about the growth in your spiritual development brought about during this period of time.

The planetary energies are positively linked, subtle, and spiritual in dimension.
You are likely to be undergoing a period of new realizations, potentially painful, around the issues of close personal relationships, as well as finances, artistic expression, and your values in general. Relationship issues are "up" for you, and you may find yourself in the midst of some big changes because of it. It may be that old issues of the way that you do relationship with others, issues that you were perhaps not even fully aware of, may come to the surface to haunt you during this transit, perhaps brought on by current events such as with regard to your significant partnerships at this time. It is also possible that your artistic expression or your aesthetic values may be in transition at this time, as you leave off ways of feeling and expressing yourself that no longer serve you. The ultimate purpose of these challenges is that you may grow in your self-concept, and adapt your relationship energy to a style that is more appropriate to your present state of evolution, as you let go of habits from the past that have been inhibiting the fullest expression of yourself in relation to another. If the old ways are not working for you any longer, it is best to get on with the new ones, rather than remaining stuck in the mud of previous patterns.

The planetary energies are positively linked, subtle, and spiritual in dimension.
Transits to Pluto affect your urge for self-transformation and regeneration. Complexes and compulsive behavior may come up for you during this period of time. You may need to confront hidden parts of yourself that have been active in an unconscious behavior pattern for many years, during this period of time, and bring them to your conscious awareness so that they can be dealt with. Such a bringing to light of old wounds and buried parts of your psyche is incredibly cathartic and healing. You will undoubtedly have new spiritual as well as personal insights as a result of the material coming into your consciousness during this period of time.

The planetary energies are positively linked, subtle, and spiritual in dimension.
This transit renews your sense of spirituality, and your ideals. Feelings of confusion may also come up for you during this transit, while this aspect of transiting Neptune to its natal position is in effect. At this time, you are in the process of far-reaching re-evaluations. It can be a confusing time, as illusions and self-concepts, which may be the very motivating factors by which you live, are called into question and a new basis for re-imaging the fundamental concepts of your life may be emerging. Your imagination is very active now, for Neptune is the planet of image and illusion. Be sure to weigh carefully the ideas that come up for you at this time.

Glossary
Ascendant: The point in the sky of the Eastern horizon. In the chart, the Ascendant is represented by the horizontal line at the left hand side of the chart which crosses between the Twelfth and First Houses. The sign on the Ascendant is also referred to as the Rising Sign.
Aspects: When the relative positions of two planets in the horoscope form a significant angle with each other, they are said to be in aspect with one another. The type and quality of the aspect is determined by the number of degrees between the two planets and is only considered significant if it is within a narrow range of degrees, or orb. A list of the aspects used in this report is given below.
| Conjunction — 0° ± 8 degrees | Square — 90° ± 8 degrees |
| Opposition — 180° ± 8 degrees | Sextile — 60° ± 6 degrees |
| Trine — 120° ± 8 degrees | Inconjunct — 150° ± 4 degrees |
Chart Comparison: An astrological technique in which the planets of two individuals are shown in a bi-wheel chart, one within the other. This allows the inter-aspects between the two charts to be examined.
Composite Chart: An astrological technique in which the midpoints of two individuals' planetary positions are used to create a third chart, the composite chart, which is then interpreted as the chart of the relationship itself as an independent entity.
Horoscope: Originally horoscope referred to the astrological chart itself, but is now popularly used to refer to the description of how current planetary positions are affecting you personally, as in "your monthly horoscope."
Midheaven: The point in the sky directly overhead relative to the position on Earth. In the chart, the Midheaven is represented by the vertical line at the top of the chart between the Ninth and Tenth Houses.
Natal: From Latin, meaning of or pertaining to birth; therefore your birth chart, or planetary positions at birth.
Nodes: The Lunar Nodes are the two points where the Moon's orbital path crosses the plane of the ecliptic (the plane of the Earth's orbit around the Sun). Symbolically they represent talents and life path, or destiny.
Planets: In astrology, the word planets is used to describe astrologically significant points in the sky which includes the Sun and Moon, as well as many objects that are not currently astronomically defined as planets such as Chiron and Pluto.
Transits: Aspects formed between the current positions of the planets and the positions of your natal planets at the time and place you were born.
