Future Sun Aspects and Transits in 2010
April 19: Sun enters Taurus
The Sun's transit through earthy Taurus highlights your need to create
more material security. So gather your pennies, put your money in a safe
place, and analyze how you can improve your stability. Whether you get a
job to save for college expenses or make a sensible plan for retirement,
this is the time to take stock of where you are and what you want.
Determination, loyalty and stubbornness are Taurus characteristics you
can best utilize right now!
April 23: Venus squares
Neptune and sextiles
Uranus
Relationships can be trying, confusing and exciting -- all at the same
time. And this week is one of those times! Pay extra attention so you
don't mistake a frog for a prince, given love planet Venus's connection
with dreamy Neptune. At the same time, be sure to take advantage of
Venus's sextile to exciting Uranus, since this aspect signals your need
to break out of old ruts and patterns.
April 24: Venus trines Saturn
The excitement and confusion of yesterday stabilizes with this sensible
aspect. Inner and outer support systems fall into place, and you become
clear-eyed when it comes to the important people in your life. This is
an ideal time to speak up about changes you'd like to see in your
relationships.
April 24: Venus enters Gemini
You encounter another relationship shift this week, as the love planet
enters curious, boredom-averse Gemini. Take advantage of this social
transit by signing up for a workshop or spending time at your local
coffee shop -- anywhere you can be around people. If you're single, why
not join a dating service? Already hooked-up? Sign up for a ballroom
dancing class, or perhaps Italian lessons so you can speak with the
locals on your next Roman vacation! (If you know your chart, look to the
house where Venus is transiting for more ideas.)
April 26: Saturn opposes Uranus
You should be used to this aspect by now! Saturn has been opposing
Uranus since November 2008 (in this series). Now these two planets
connect again, emphasizing the change (Uranus) vs. experience (Saturn)
mantra. No doubt your life has seen some significant changes since 2008!
Your goal during this opposition is to maintain a healthy balance
between responsibilities and your desire to make changes in your life.
If you've resisted the message for change, you'll certainly be reminded
of its importance now! On the other hand, if you've been rebellious and
neglectful of your responsibilities, you will receive an important
message about accountability at this time. Either way, your challenge is
to build upon your experiences while also being open to change.
April 28:
Full Moon in Scorpio
No sign is more passionate than this intense
water sign! And
with this full Moon -- always a time of increased emotions -- you can
expect to feel strongly about everything. Figure out what you can let go
of during this time of culmination, and make sure you don't work against
your own best interests, with Mars weighing in with a square to this
full Moon. Financial issues are highlighted right now, and you may need
to decide where to invest your money -- whether in a child's education,
or perhaps your next vacation!

May 2: Saturn quincunxes Neptune
Saturn represents building, and in Virgo it's time to streamline your
day-to-day routine. Neptune represents the dream, and in Aquarius, your
quest for a better life is -- and should be -- a central theme. Some of you
are good builders; others of you are good dreamers. Globally and personally,
these two energies are having a serious conversation right now. You are in
the process of becoming clearer on the difference between your fantasies and
dreams. This aspect reminds you how important it is to make appropriate
adjustments in your long-term planning when environments change and new
information becomes available.
May 3: Mercury trines
Pluto
A Mercury-trine-Pluto aspect -- especially when both planets are in
earth signs -- marks a great time to sell ideas and products, or to
deepen your understanding of what's workable and what needs to be let go.
Ordinarily, this would be a good aspect under which to sign contracts ...
but because Mercury is currently retrograde, return instead to old ideas so
you can tweak your goals.
May 4: Sun squares Mars
People tend to work at cross-purposes under this fiery aspect. Although
you're likely to express yourself with a great deal of passion, you also
have a tendency to be extra-concerned with getting your way. Mars heats up
any planet with which it comes into contact, and you can easily get
off-track by approaching people in a way that doesn't help you. Instead of
pushing people to do something they don't want to do, take this formidable
energy and pour it into achieving your own goals.
May 7: Venus sextiles Mars
Venus in chatty, curious Gemini and Mars in fun Leo make a great team in
this air/fire combination. Venus softens Mars's hard edges, while Mars
provides a strong shoulder to lean on. Opportunities to meet someone are
abundant if you're single -- or if you're in a committed relationship, now
is a great time to rekindle your romance. Make the most of this extremely
social aspect!
May 11: Mercury turns direct
Have you had enough with glitches? As Mercury ends its retrograde in loyal
Taurus, it's time to incorporate everything you've learned since April 17,
when Mercury turned retrograde in this determined sign. Communication
becomes easier and less confusing now, and you find it easier to make a
decision. Hopefully you used the retrograde time well and have conducted a
proper review and became better informed about your options. Now you can
comfortably sign those contracts, send out your resume and reach out to
others.
May 13: New Moon in Taurus
New Moons mark fresh beginnings, and in earthy Taurus -- the sign that rules
personal values and money -- it's time for you to think about how to build
and maintain a comfortable, secure life. Because so many planets connect
with this new Moon, you receive a variety of messages about how to build
more financial stability. Use the energy of this Moon to make a plan to save
money and embody values that accurately reflect where you now are in life.
May 19: Venus enters Cancer
Are you ready to cuddle up? Making close emotional connections is more
important than anything now, so enough thinking and talking! The
relationship planet in this nurturing, cozy sign loves to wrap up in
blankets, make some popcorn and watch a favorite movie. Single? Now's the
time to reach out, for a loving heart opens up a universe of possibilities!

Future Retrograde Planetary Stations in 2010
December 20, 2009 — March 10, 2010 — Mars Rx (Leo the Lion) — All about Mars Retrograde
During this Mars Retrograde, we may find competitive situations too difficult to handle. If your natal Mars is also retrograde, this adds to the difficulty and you should be more wary of how you respond emotionally to conflicts. There may be a tendency to easily get depressed, so it would be a good idea to surround your environment with anything that brightens your mood. We may also want to repress feelings, opinions, and emotions. Those of you who are usually brave and aggressive may not be entirely affected by a Mars Rx.
January 13, 2010 — May 30, 2010 — Saturn Rx (Libra the Scales) — All about Saturn Retrograde
Saturn will be in the sign of The Scales while beginning to go retrograde on January 13th, 2010. Saturn has to do mostly with karma, limits, responsibility, long term goals and accomplishments patiently created, taking responsibility, creating structure, and setting boundaries. During a Saturn retrograde such as this one, do not rush through things in your day to day life. Accept boundaries that may arise or intensify during this 5 month retrograde. Also, accept your responsibilities and take serious steps towards your goals that are also practical and smart.
