The composite chart represents the fusion of energy that two people create when they come together. It is a
third being. Like a child, it inherits qualities of both parents, though it has a life all its own and exists
independently of either of them. The following interpretations should be regarded as being for the relationship
itself, taken as an independent entity, as this relates to the meaning for each individual within it.
Introduction
The Relationship Report for two individuals applies to any type of relationship. It focuses on the relationship
itself, rather than on the individuals who make it up. First a composite chart (mid-point chart) is created. The
composite chart represents the fusion of energy that two people create when they come together in
relationship. It is a third being. Like a child, it inherits qualities of both parents, though it has a life all its own
and exists independently of either of them. The following interpretations should be regarded as being for the
relationship itself, taken as an independent entity.
In the following report, each planetary placement and aspect is examined to reveal the basic qualities of your
relationship, with the most important factors described first. Please keep in mind that these descriptions are
not meant to put limitations on the relationship, but merely to describe its inherent tendencies. Challenging
aspects can become the greatest strength of a relationship if you can both learn how to successfully navigate
those issues, with good communication between you playing a vital role.
Jun 30, 2008 to Nov 13, 2008, exact Aug 22, 2008 R; exact Sep 25, 2008
Transiting Pluto in semi-sextile with natal Neptune
The planetary energies attract each other, require effort, allow entry of new information.
This transit has the effect of transforming your sense of spirituality, and your ideals. Feelings of confusion
may come up for you at this time, since you are not entirely at home in the outer world of consensus thinking.
You may feel a sense of oneness with the universe, or a heightened religious sense of being an integral part of
all life. This is an important time in your life, when you are looking deeply into the meaning of your existence.
You may seek this meaning in the realms of occult studies, for they hold a special appeal to you now, in your
desire to see beyond the surface illusions of your life.
Jul 7, 2008 to Aug 16, 2008, exact Jul 28, 2008 R
Transiting Chiron in semi-square with natal Mercury
The planetary energies conflict in determined subtle tension; calmness is required.
You may be experiencing somewhat painful realizations around the issues of communication and your mental
abilities. Your communication with others may be changing at this time, and you may discover difficulties in
this area, as old issues from the past return to haunt you, or you have to deal with siblings or your friends in a
way that seems less easy and more fraught with pain and uncertainty. Ultimately the higher purpose of these
challenges is for you to come to terms with a new way of thinking and being in the world. It may be in this
way that you can begin to heal some old issues that have previously plagued you. As you do, you may also be
able to share this more holistic vision of your own communication process with your community so that you
can have a healing influence on others around you as well.
Jul 19, 2008 to Aug 27, 2008, exact Aug 8, 2008 R
Transiting Chiron in semi-square with natal Chiron
The planetary energies conflict in determined subtle tension; calmness is required.
This could be a time when strange events force upon you an intimation of other worlds, a broader perspective
than that of ordinary reality, perhaps a taste of the transpersonal world of shamanism and magic. It is also a
time for re-examination of some of the painful issues that may be part of your make-up and that may possibly
have been holding you back until now. Usually some issues from early childhood that were too painful to deal
with in their era, and that have become repressed and remain lodged in your unconscious, come up during this
period of time, perhaps brought on by recent events. Long repressed feelings may be difficult and painful to
deal with, but there is a rich reward for getting in touch with these walled-off areas in order to become more
whole. You can achieve a much greater degree of self-acceptance and ease once you have made the dark
journey of discovery to find what lies within that space.
Jul 23, 2008 to Oct 22, 2008, exact Aug 12, 2008 R; exact Oct 4, 2008
Transiting Jupiter in square with natal Jupiter
The planetary energies conflict; internal and creative tensions bring rich rewards through effort over time.
Your faith and your plans or aspirations as well as religious feelings will be powerfully and positively affected
at this time, based on the 12-year cycle of Jupiter to its natal position, of which this transit is but one phase.
Travel or educational plans are another possibility for expansion and renewed energy during the course of this
transit. This is an especially important and beneficial period of time in your life. You have a renewed optimism
and faith in yourself, and are likely to influence others by the example of your good energy. You must also be
careful to temper your positive attitude at this time with a healthy dose of practicality or else you might over-
commit yourself, but in general this is a great period of time for enhancing your possibilities. This energy may
be useful for increased leadership in worldly affairs or for choosing different goals in life, perhaps adopting a
more spiritual path.
Aug 2, 2008 to Sep 3, 2008, exact Aug 13, 2008 R
Transiting Jupiter in semi-square with natal Neptune
The planetary energies conflict in determined subtle tension; calmness is required.
You will have renewed energy for the spiritual or philosophical side of your existence during this time. This
transit boosts your sense of spirituality, and your ideals. You are tuning into energy that is essentially beyond
this physical plane, and it may become more real for you than mundane socalled reality. You may also run up
against illusions about what is possible, or actual deception practiced upon you, so that you think you can
make more money or accomplish more than is physically available. Feelings of confusion may also come up
for you during this period of time. A healthy dose of skepticism works well at this time, as an antidote to over-
reaching.
Aug 6, 2008 to Sep 11, 2010, exact Aug 14, 2008
Transiting Saturn into natal Twelfth House
During this transit, lasting two to three years, you are more serious and introspective, and find yourself in a
process of summing up the achievements and the residue of the past thirty years, the period of Saturn's transit
of your entire chart. You are sorting out what aspects of yourself to keep and what parts need to be discarded
at this time, as not wholly congruous with your present self-concept. At this time you are likely more
compassionate and sympathetic to the problems of others. You may have recurrent feelings that life is too
hard, or that it is beyond your conscious control. There may be trying circumstances in your outer life during
the course of this transit such as imprisonment, either real or imagined, or you may feel a strong sense of
guilt, perhaps generalized rather than specific. It is for you in essence a time of withdrawal from active
participation in life, a going within, in order to more fully assimilate new energies that are waiting to be born in
you, when the time is right. During this period your personality is in transition, and outworn aspects of
yourself need to be discarded, however painful that may be, before proceeding onward in your path toward
personal evolution.
Aug 8, 2008 to Aug 14, 2008, exact Aug 11, 2008
Transiting Mars in conjunction with natal Pluto
The strongest blend of the energies represented by these two planets.
Conflicts may come up for you during this relatively brief period of time. During this approximately week-
long transit, your assertion and goal-directed activity will likely be subject to some drastic stresses, for the
purpose of bringing to light the inner workings of repressed impulses you may have in these areas. Your drive
to succeed may be riding at an all-time high during the short period of time this transit is in effect. On the
other hand, this may be a stressful time which is ultimately productive of far-reaching personality changes, as
you feel yourself directly challenged by inner processes that seem about to overwhelm your fragile ego. Either
way, compulsive or control-oriented behavior that normally lies beneath the surface of your conscious
awareness could come up for you at this time. This may be a sign that you are ready to eventually outgrow
these behaviors, which may be carry-overs from the distant past, and no longer appropriate to your present
level of maturity. The challenges forced upon you at this time can be difficult and painful. You need to have
faith in your own process at this time, to guide you through these events to emerge on the other side, calm
once more, and even more wholly yourself than before you went through them.
Aug 10, 2008 to Aug 14, 2008, exact Aug 12, 2008
Transiting Mars in semi-sextile with natal Venus
The planetary energies attract each other, require effort, allow entry of new information.
This transit, lasting about a week, brings a great physical energy and a combative attitude to the factors
represented by Venus in your natal chart: love and relationship, and also personal creativity. You may also
notice an increase in your sex-drive during this period of time. Affected also are your values, including your
aesthetic sensibility and your enjoyment of life's pleasures, and your appreciation for the beauty of your
surroundings, areas that will be energized and enhanced during this relatively brief transit. You may be less
open to compromise than usual as a result of this transit. You also have more energy at this time for all kinds
of creative projects.
Aug 10, 2008 to Aug 13, 2008, exact Aug 11, 2008
Transiting Mars in inconjunct with natal Mars
The planetary energies do not flow smoothly, one or the other predominates; discrimination must be employed.
Your aggressive urge is primed for action at this time. This week-long transit stimulates your outward-
directed activity, assertiveness and also pure animal passion. You are full of vibrant energy, and may need an
outlet such as sports or another form of physical activity to relieve the tension building inside of you. Your
will is strong right now, and you may find yourself more argumentative than usual, so beware of quarrels, or
possibly accidents. You may find great clarity in knowing exactly what you want in your life during the brief
period of time this transit is in effect.
Aug 13, 2008 to Aug 19, 2008, exact Aug 16, 2008
Transiting Mars in sextile with natal Neptune
The planetary energies flow together, open into new possibilities, new connections.
This transit brings your sense of spirituality, and your ideals, to your desires and actions. You may have new
spiritual insights during this period. You will find you have a more disconnected energy than usual, and a
sense of confusion regarding goals. This is a time when you may be more sensitive to others needs and
concerns than your own. You are very aware of other points of view, and also very idealistic in pursuing your
own agenda. It is necessary at this time to focus on what is truly important to you, and to not be discouraged
by seeming setbacks, since every turn in the road serves to further your growing consciousness of what is
possible, both in the physical realm and beyond it.
Aug 17, 2008 to Sep 2, 2008, exact Aug 26, 2008
Transiting Saturn in semi-square with natal Venus
The planetary energies conflict in determined subtle tension; calmness is required.
For this period of time, there is a slowing down effect on your relationships, and also your personal creativity.
What is affected could also include your values, including your sense of the aesthetic. This transit brings
focus to these areas of your life as well as presenting obstacles to the easy completion of artistic or creative
activities, or the solution to any relationship issues that you may have. Such issues may seem to drag on
during this period, and you may also discover limitations in these areas of your life during this period of time.
It is best to use this time in order to discover what is most important to you, especially in the area of
relationships and artistic creativity.
Aug 18, 2008 to Feb 23, 2009, exact Oct 9, 2008 R; exact Jan 13, 2009
Transiting Uranus in conjunction with natal Sun
The strongest blend of the energies represented by these two planets.
Your whole life is in flux. Things are changing for you at this time, and you may have trouble keeping up with
the pace of events. These events are forcing something to emerge from somewhere deep inside of you - what
is it? Holding back can only make things crazier. It's time to give up and just go "with the flow". Your feelings
of restlessness under this transit may be urging you to let go of some previously cherished structure of your
life. There may also be a change in your relationship with your father, or the father within you, at this time.
These challenges are forcing you to grow to a previously unsurpassed level of maturity, a new way of taking
charge of your own life.
Aug 21, 2008 to Aug 27, 2008, exact Aug 24, 2008
Transiting Mars in opposition with natal Chiron
The planetary energies are polarized; outer events stimulate their interaction; integration is the challenge.
For this brief period of time, you will become more conscious of the energy for personal transformation and
healing in your life. This will likely mean exposing some form of deep-seated pain for the purpose of working
through old issues and ultimately healing these issues. During this brief period of time, you may be blessed to
provide the impetus for healing to others. You may also feel healing energy come into your life from a meeting
with another person during the course of this transit. As another possible result of this transit, issues with ego
may come up for you, or issues of self-acceptance versus feelings of rejection. Usually these types of events
point to deeper issues which you may not have brought all the way up to your consciousness, but which
remain as a source of irritation and frustration operating more or less unconsciously at a deep level of your
psyche. These issues may be painful to connect with. But getting in touch with these areas is for your
ultimate benefit, for the more integration you can achieve within your psyche, the more whole you are and the
more you can bring yourself forward to be of help to other people on the same journey of discovery.
Aug 22, 2008 to Aug 25, 2008, exact Aug 23, 2008
Transiting Mars in inconjunct with natal Moon
The planetary energies do not flow smoothly, one or the other predominates; discrimination must be employed.
You may find yourself expressing anger more openly than you usually do. This can be a benefit, since feelings
brought out into the open are thus more available to yourself and others. This aspect also indicates a period of
time when action is a more comfortable mode of operation than sitting back and awaiting events. Try not to
be too rash in taking action, sometimes the "wait and see" game is best in the long run.
Aug 22, 2008 to Aug 28, 2008, exact Aug 25, 2008
Transiting Mars in opposition with natal Mercury
The planetary energies are polarized; outer events stimulate their interaction; integration is the challenge.
This week-long transit will have the effect of increasing your verbal punch, or the energy with which you
express your ideas. You may find yourself becoming sharp tongued with people at this time. Your mind and
intellect are affected, as well as your communication generally, such as written messages or conversations,
also talking with friends and associates. These areas of your life will be energized and ego issues brought to
bear on them during the relatively brief period of time this transit is in effect. You have an unusually forceful
and strong-willed stance in your communication with others right now. It is good for trying to get your ideas
across or a plan in motion when other people need to be convinced. However, you need to beware of being
overly critical with friends and associates during this time. There may be difficulties that arise in your
communication with other people, and conflict is a distinct possibility. Greater energy is also available for
friends or perhaps for thinking about the direction of your life force.
Aug 22, 2008 to Aug 25, 2008, exact Aug 24, 2008
Transiting Mars in inconjunct with natal Saturn
The planetary energies do not flow smoothly, one or the other predominates; discrimination must be employed.
You are stopped in your tracks in the outward arc of your go power for these few days, but it is a good time
for getting serious about what you are actually trying to accomplish. The established structures in your life are
likely to demand more of your attention than usual for this brief period of time. It is not a good time for going
ahead with large-scale projects, but rather for sticking with routine and accomplishing in little ways.
Aug 22, 2008 to Aug 29, 2008, exact Aug 26, 2008
Transiting Mars in conjunction with natal Uranus
The strongest blend of the energies represented by these two planets.
This week-long transit affects your urge for freedom and spontaneity. Feelings of restlessness may come up
for you during this period of time. During this period, you are very conscious of your urge for freedom, or
your need to find your own unique individual expression of yourself. You may have new spiritual insights or
your will to be different may be more powerful during this relatively brief period of time. You may find
yourself to be impulsive under this influence, and may need to consider a balanced and gradual approach to
striving for your goals, rather than "going off half-cocked" right now. On the other hand, you also may come
to sudden realizations of changes you may need to make, which it would be wise to act on. These changes
may have been waiting in the wings for some time, and are only now finding their way into your actions.
Aug 25, 2008 to Oct 7, 2008, exact Aug 27, 2008
Transiting Mars into natal First House
Your will is strong, at this time, and you may have a tendency to push yourself forward or to try to dominate
others. This is a period of time, usually lasting about six weeks, when your focus tends to be on yourself,
when you exploit your nature as a unique individual in order to get ahead in the world. You have lots of energy
and great physical vitality during this transit, and you only need to guard against impulsive or even rash
behavior. Whatever experiences come to you at this time, you will be ready to use them to the fullest
advantage in your life development.
Sep 2, 2008 to Sep 5, 2008, exact Sep 4, 2008
Transiting Mars in sesquiquadrate with natal Mars
The planetary energies conflict in determined subtle tension; control is required.
Your aggressive urge is primed for action at this time. This week-long transit stimulates your outward-
directed activity, assertiveness and also pure animal passion. You are full of vibrant energy, and may need an
outlet such as sports or another form of physical activity to relieve the tension building inside of you. Your
will is strong right now, and you may find yourself more argumentative than usual, so beware of quarrels, or
possibly accidents. You may find great clarity in knowing exactly what you want in your life during the brief
period of time this transit is in effect.
Sep 6, 2008 to Sep 12, 2008, exact Sep 9, 2008
Transiting Mars in opposition with natal Jupiter
The planetary energies are polarized; outer events stimulate their interaction; integration is the challenge.
You are likely to have beneficial contacts with other people, and have positive feelings come up for you in
regard to important interpersonal relationships during the period of time this transit is in effect. You are full of
enthusiasm for projects and moving ahead during this approximately week-long transit, and you benefit by
tempering your confidence with just a bit of pessimism, for balance. You may have so much physical energy
that you need to seek an outlet for it in sports or related activities. Travel is another urge that may come over
you at this time. You are also likely find contact with the opposite sex quite pleasant and rewarding during the
course of this transit. Overall, you will find you have much greater energy than usual, and your renewed
sense of optimism may give you great clarity of purpose. There is a higher purpose to your activity at this
time, beyond merely striving for ego gratification. Any activities that you engage in during this time will be
very productive for you in long-term results, provided that you keep in balance and refrain from overdoing it.
Sep 6, 2008 to Dec 25, 2008, no date of exact
Transiting Neptune in quintile with natal Saturn
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.
Sep 7, 2008 to Sep 10, 2008, exact Sep 9, 2008
Transiting Mars in semi-square with natal Neptune
The planetary energies conflict in determined subtle tension; calmness is required.
This transit brings your sense of spirituality, and your ideals, to your desires and actions. You may find that
you have new spiritual insights at this time, and also a more disconnected energy than usual, perhaps a sense
of confusion in your life. You are tuning into energy that is essentially beyond this physical plane. This can
therefore be a very mystifying period for you. It is also likely that outer events will seemingly conspire against
your successes during the brief period of time this transit is in effect. It is necessary at this time to focus on
what is truly important to you, and to not be discouraged by seeming setbacks, since every turn in the road
serves to further your growing consciousness of what is possible, both in the physical realm and beyond it.
Sep 9, 2008 to Sep 25, 2008, exact Sep 17, 2008
Transiting Saturn in inconjunct with natal Jupiter
The planetary energies do not flow smoothly, one or the other predominates; discrimination must be employed.
Your natural optimism is deserting you these days. Your faith in yourself and your plans or aspirations as well
as religious feelings will be emphasized at this time. These ideals may be restricted in some way and may
change as a result of this transit. This is a relatively stressful period of time for you, a time to dig in and plug
ahead with projects and life goals you have set for yourself. Travel or educational plans are another possibility
for restrictions and changes during the course of this transit. You are also more serious than usual during this
period of time, and you benefit from taking the time to just relax and enjoy yourself, rather than to struggle 24
hours a day. Your resolve in implementing your dreams will be tested now, and you may well come away
from the experience with an altered conception of their real meaning for your life.
Sep 12, 2008 to Oct 14, 2008, exact Oct 3, 2008
Transiting Jupiter in semi-square with natal Neptune
The planetary energies conflict in determined subtle tension; calmness is required.
You will have renewed energy for the spiritual or philosophical side of your existence during this time. This
transit boosts your sense of spirituality, and your ideals. You are tuning into energy that is essentially beyond
this physical plane, and it may become more real for you than mundane socalled reality. You may also run up
against illusions about what is possible, or actual deception practiced upon you, so that you think you can
make more money or accomplish more than is physically available. Feelings of confusion may also come up
for you during this period of time. A healthy dose of skepticism works well at this time, as an antidote to over-
reaching.
Sep 14, 2008 to Sep 17, 2008, exact Sep 15, 2008

Transiting Mars in inconjunct with natal Sun
The planetary energies do not flow smoothly, one or the other predominates; discrimination must be employed.
You feel more aggressive these days and full of the zest for life. Your will is quite strong and you may also be
more argumentative than usual as a result of this transit, so beware of getting into quarrels. You have so much
sheer energy at your disposal that you may need to work it off in some form of physical activity, like sports
or weight lifting, for this brief period of time. There can be tension during this transit, and also good progress
toward your goals if you can contain the energy.
Sep 23, 2008 to Sep 29, 2008, exact Sep 26, 2008
Transiting Mars in trine with natal Mars
The planetary energies flow smoothly; the connection is easy and beneficial.
Your confidence and will power are at their peak at this time. This transit stimulates your outward-directed
activity, assertiveness and also pure animal passion. You are also full of vibrant energy; you may need an
outlet such as sports or another form of physical activity during the week or so that this transit is in effect.
Your will is strong, and you have loads of energy for any kind of activity. It is an excellent time for pushing
forward with work that you are trying to complete, as well as for getting in touch with what it is that you
truly desire for yourself. You may find great clarity in knowing what you want in your life while this transit is
in effect.
Sep 24, 2008 to Sep 30, 2008, exact Sep 27, 2008
Transiting Mars in conjunction with natal Venus
The strongest blend of the energies represented by these two planets.
You are full of relationship energy of all kinds during this transit, lasting about a week. You have loads of
energy for your intimate partnerships during this period, which may manifest as an enhanced sex drive, or just
more of a drive toward closeness and intimacy. Affected also are your sense of aesthetics, and your values
generally, and these areas will also be enhanced and energized during the course of this transit. It is a good
time to involve yourself in artistic projects, or creative work of any kind. You will undoubtedly be more
responsive to your surroundings than usual, and you may also experience an increased sociability at this time.
It is a great time to go to a party, or to give one. You are not much interested in work and the harsh realities
during this period, being more engaged in love and the joyous abundance of life.
Sep 25, 2008 to Sep 28, 2008, exact Sep 26, 2008
Transiting Mars in semi-sextile with natal Pluto
The planetary energies attract each other, require effort, allow entry of new information.
Conflicts may come up for you during this relatively brief period of time. During this approximately week-
long transit, your assertion and goal-directed activity will likely be subject to some drastic stresses, for the
purpose of bringing to light the inner workings of repressed impulses you may have in these areas. The
challenges forced upon you at this time can be difficult and painful. You need to have faith in your own
process at this time, to guide you through these events to emerge on the other side, calm once more, and even
more wholly yourself than before you went through them.
Sep 30, 2008 to Oct 3, 2008, exact Oct 1, 2008
Transiting Mars in semi-sextile with natal Neptune
The planetary energies attract each other, require effort, allow entry of new information.

Oct 3, 2008 to Oct 21, 2008, exact Oct 11, 2008
Transiting Saturn in quintile with natal Neptune
The planetary energies are positively linked, subtle, and spiritual in dimension.
This transit has the effect of restricting and also concentrating the expression of your sense of spirituality, and
your ideals. Feelings of confusion may also come up for you during this period of time. You may feel
restrictions threatening to your cherished illusions at this time, which may have the effect of helping to
redefine the very ideals by which you live. This conflict may be unsettling for a time, but it is said that no
transit is experienced before you are ready for it, whether or not you realize this in the present moment.
Oct 5, 2008 to Oct 11, 2008, exact Oct 8, 2008
Transiting Mars in trine with natal Moon
The planetary energies flow smoothly; the connection is easy and beneficial.
Your feelings may be quite volatile for this brief period of time. This can be a benefit, since feelings brought
out into the open are thus more available to yourself and others. This aspect also indicates a period of time
when action is a more comfortable mode of operation than sitting back and awaiting events. Try not to be too
rash in taking action, sometimes the "wait and see" game is best in the long run. You will have great emotional
strength during this period of time, so it may be the perfect time to stand up for yourself and take on that
person or group you have been intending to confront. Nobody can push you around today.
Oct 5, 2008 to Oct 11, 2008, exact Oct 8, 2008

Oct 6, 2008 to Nov 21, 2008, exact Oct 7, 2008
Transiting Mars into natal Second House
You will find yourself full of enthusiasm for the pursuit of sensual pleasures. At this time, and lasting about
six weeks, you may experience the desire for luxuries, or you may feel called upon to work through pride or
acquisitiveness. You may have a tendency to be preoccupied with your own material well-being at this time.
You may also find yourself better rewarded for your efforts in the world than usual. The true meaning of this
transit lies in the right use of your material resources, rather than these resources becoming an end in
themselves.
Oct 7, 2008 to Oct 10, 2008, exact Oct 9, 2008
Transiting Mars in inconjunct with natal Chiron
The planetary energies do not flow smoothly, one or the other predominates; discrimination must be employed.
For this brief period of time, you will become more conscious of the energy for personal transformation and
healing in your life. This will likely mean exposing some form of deep-seated pain for the purpose of working
through old issues and ultimately healing these issues. During this brief period of time, you may be blessed to
provide the impetus for healing to others. You may also feel healing energy come into your life from a meeting
with another person during the course of this transit. As another possible result of this transit, issues with ego
may come up for you, or issues of self-acceptance versus feelings of rejection. Usually these types of events
point to deeper issues which you may not have brought all the way up to your consciousness, but which
remain as a source of irritation and frustration operating more or less unconsciously at a deep level of your
psyche. These issues may be painful to connect with. But getting in touch with these areas is for your

Transiting Mars in inconjunct with natal Mercury
The planetary energies do not flow smoothly, one or the other predominates; discrimination must be employed.
This week-long transit will have the effect of increasing your verbal punch, or the energy with which you
express your ideas. Your mind and intellect are affected, as well as your communication generally, such as
written messages or conversations, also friends and associates. These areas of your life will be energized and
ego issues brought to bear on them during the relatively brief period of time this transit is in effect. Greater
energy is also available for friends or perhaps for thinking about future plans. However, you may need to
beware of being overly critical and sharp with friends and associates during this period of time.

The planetary energies conflict in determined subtle tension; control is required.
You feel more aggressive these days and full of the zest for life. Your will is quite strong and you may also be
more argumentative than usual as a result of this transit, so beware of getting into quarrels. You have so much
sheer energy at your disposal that you may need to work it off in some form of physical activity, like sports
or weight lifting, for this brief period of time. There can be tension during this transit, and also good progress
toward your goals if you can contain the energy.
Oct 17, 2008 to Oct 20, 2008, exact Oct 19, 2008
Transiting Mars in semi-square with natal Pluto
The planetary energies conflict in determined subtle tension; calmness is required.
Conflicts may come up for you during this relatively brief period of time. During this approximately week-
long transit, your assertion and goal-directed activity will likely be subject to some drastic stresses, for the
purpose of bringing to light the inner workings of repressed impulses you may have in these areas. The
challenges forced upon you at this time can be difficult and painful. You need to have faith in your own
process at this time, to guide you through these events to emerge on the other side, calm once more, and even
more wholly yourself than before you went through them.
Oct 18, 2008 to Nov 7, 2008, exact Oct 27, 2008
Transiting Saturn in sesquiquadrate with natal Saturn
The planetary energies conflict in determined subtle tension; control is required.
This is a time of relatively harmonious working out of your life plans, and a time of preparation for changes to
come. Although you may feel like trying to hold on to outmoded behavior that has in reality lost its usefulness
for you by this time, it is necessary to get on with the evolutionary process you have already begun. You tend
to be introspective and practical at this time, and reflect on what you consider to be your duty in life, and the
course of your life's direction.
Oct 21, 2008 to Dec 19, 2008, exact Nov 12, 2008
Transiting Saturn in opposition with natal Sun
The planetary energies are polarized; outer events stimulate their interaction; integration is the challenge.
During this period of time you are more aware of your limitations and responsibilities than usual. This time
represents a significant period of your life. There may be some dramatic turn of events, as the momentum of
your life's journey changes direction, in particular your professional work or significant worldly activities.
This transit can last for several months, and is almost always accompanied by some suffering - the structure
of your life, and your ego-investment in that structure, is bound to change as a result of the pressure of
events, and this is never easy. This transit can be an excellent time for a new beginning, in which the sum of
previous efforts taken can be used to advantage in a new move of some sort, designed to make the most out
of your endeavors. Try to accompany all the hard work with a healthy dose of pleasure. The key lies in
balancing the energy to achieve and the energy just to be, without needing to achieve.

You are likely to have beneficial contacts with other people, and have positive feelings come up for you in
regard to important interpersonal relationships during the approximately week-long period of time this transit is
in effect. You may have so much physical energy that you need to seek an outlet for it in sports or related
activities. Travel is another urge that may come over you at this time. Overall, you will find you have much
greater energy than usual, and your renewed sense of optimism may give you great clarity of purpose. There
is a higher purpose to your activity at this time, beyond merely striving for ego gratification. Any activities that
you engage in during this time will be very productive for you in long-term results, provided that you keep in
balance and refrain from overdoing it.

Transiting Uranus in semi-square with natal Saturn
The planetary energies conflict in determined subtle tension; calmness is required.
This is a perhaps stressful time of pressure regarding the existing structure of your daily life, as unusually
vivid insights threaten your security and your feeling of status quo. You may feel frustrated by limitations
which seem unnecessary to your present circumstance, and which seem to hold you back from movement
towards new paths. You may be forced to reexamine and perhaps discard old outmoded concepts or habitual
patterns. It can be a time of creativity in fact, as you incorporate new ideas into your existing system of
values.

Transiting Mars in trine with natal Sun

You feel full of the zest for life. Your will may be quite strong these days. You may have so much sheer
energy at your disposal that you need to work it off in some form of physical activity, like sports or weight
lifting, for this brief period of time. This abundant energy comes into your conscious awareness, and you are
very impatient to just get on with it, to just get things done. There can be great progress toward your goals
during this period of time.
Oct 29, 2008 to Nov 1, 2008, exact Oct 31, 2008
Transiting Mars in sesquiquadrate with natal Chiron
The planetary energies conflict in determined subtle tension; control is required.
For this brief period of time, you will become more conscious of the energy for personal transformation and
healing in your life. This will likely mean exposing some form of deep-seated pain for the purpose of working
through old issues and ultimately healing these issues. During this brief period of time, you may be blessed to
provide the impetus for healing to others. You may also feel healing energy come into your life from a meeting
with another person during the course of this transit. As another possible result of this transit, issues with ego
may come up for you, or issues of self-acceptance versus feelings of rejection. Usually these types of events
point to deeper issues which you may not have brought all the way up to your consciousness, but which
remain as a source of irritation and frustration operating more or less unconsciously at a deep level of your
psyche. These issues may be painful to connect with. But getting in touch with these areas is for your
ultimate benefit, for the more integration you can achieve within your psyche, the more whole you are and the
more you can bring yourself forward to be of help to other people on the same journey of discovery.

You feel a terrific sense of optimism and possibility. You are so sure of and comfortable with yourself that
you may be prone to overdoing things, and you may need to exercise a moderate degree of caution as a
balance to the expansiveness of this period of time. What is affected is your feelings and your feminine or
nurturing side, the deeper part of yourself, as well as your attitudes toward home and family. All these areas
will be seen in a more positive light with the exuberance this transit brings to them. Your relationships with
significant female figures in your life, such as with your mother, may also be full of joyful expansiveness,
under this influence. You may also want to take advantage of this period to work on family issues, if there are
any that need addressing. You will find yourself in a good place to deal with intimates as well as all other
people during this period. Just be careful to temper your enthusiasm with a degree of caution at this time.

touch" in almost anything that you attempt during this period. The peaceful and expansive energy represented

understanding. You may also begin a significant journey under the influence of this transit.

Your aggressive urge is primed for action at this time, and you may experience conflicts with other people or
with any obstacles that get in your way. You also want to watch out for accidents during this brief period of
time. You are like a charging bull during the week or so of this transit, and everybody had better be prepared
to leap out of the way of your way since you have the will to succeed at any cost! This transit stimulates your
outwarddirected activity, assertiveness and also pure animal passion. You are so full of vibrant energy at this
time, that you need an outlet such as sports or another form of physical activity, to relieve the tension building
inside of you. Your will is strong, and you may find yourself more argumentative than usual, so beware of
quarrels. You will have loads of energy for any kind of activity during this period. There is likely to be a crisis
in what you are trying to accomplish at this time, which may be related to a project begun at the time of the
last conjunction of Mars to itself, perhaps six months to a year ago. It is a necessary at this time to push
ahead, and to be aware of your goal, by getting in touch with what it is that you truly desire for yourself.

Transiting Mars in semi-sextile with natal Venus
The planetary energies attract each other, require effort, allow entry of new information.
This transit, lasting about a week, brings a great physical energy and a combative attitude to the factors
represented by Venus in your natal chart: love and relationship, and also personal creativity. You may also
notice an increase in your sex-drive during this period of time. Affected also are your values, including your
aesthetic sensibility and your enjoyment of life's pleasures, and your appreciation for the beauty of your
surroundings, areas that will be energized and enhanced during this relatively brief transit. You may be less
open to compromise than usual as a result of this transit. You also have more energy at this time for all kinds
of creative projects.
Nov 11, 2008 to Nov 16, 2008, exact Nov 14, 2008
Transiting Mars in conjunction with natal Neptune
The strongest blend of the energies represented by these two planets.
Feelings of confusion regarding what you want or what you are trying to accomplish may come up for you
during the week or so that this transit is in effect. This transit brings your sense of spirituality, and your
ideals, to your desires and actions. You may find that you have new spiritual insights at this time, and also a
more disconnected energy than usual, perhaps a sense of confusion in your life. You are tuning into energy
that is essentially beyond this physical plane and your desire nature reflects this otherworldly charge. This is a
time when you are you are very aware of other points of view, and also very idealistic in pursuing your own
agenda. You may even imagine goals for yourself that are more fanciful than realistic or that may never come
to fruition. With so many different points of view available to you, there is danger that you may lose yourself
in all of the possibilities. This can therefore be a very mystifying period for you. It is also likely that outer
events will seemingly conspire against your successes during the brief period of time this transit is in effect. It
is necessary at this time to focus on what is truly important to you, and to not be discouraged by seeming
setbacks, since every turn in the road serves to further your growing consciousness of what is possible, both
in the physical realm and beyond it.
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 most commonly used aspects 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.

The composite chart represents the fusion of energy that two people create when they come together. It is a
third being. Like a child, it inherits qualities of both parents, though it has a life all its own and exists
independently of either of them. The following interpretations should be regarded as being for the relationship
itself, taken as an independent entity, as this relates to the meaning for each individual within it.
Introduction
The Relationship Report for two individuals applies to any type of relationship. It focuses on the relationship
itself, rather than on the individuals who make it up. First a composite chart (mid-point chart) is created. The
composite chart represents the fusion of energy that two people create when they come together in
relationship. It is a third being. Like a child, it inherits qualities of both parents, though it has a life all its own
and exists independently of either of them. The following interpretations should be regarded as being for the
relationship itself, taken as an independent entity.
In the following report, each planetary placement and aspect is examined to reveal the basic qualities of your
relationship, with the most important factors described first. Please keep in mind that these descriptions are
not meant to put limitations on the relationship, but merely to describe its inherent tendencies. Challenging
aspects can become the greatest strength of a relationship if you can both learn how to successfully navigate
those issues, with good communication between you playing a vital role.

Transiting Pluto in semi-sextile with natal Neptune
The planetary energies attract each other, require effort, allow entry of new information.
This transit has the effect of transforming your sense of spirituality, and your ideals. Feelings of confusion
may come up for you at this time, since you are not entirely at home in the outer world of consensus thinking.
You may feel a sense of oneness with the universe, or a heightened religious sense of being an integral part of
all life. This is an important time in your life, when you are looking deeply into the meaning of your existence.
You may seek this meaning in the realms of occult studies, for they hold a special appeal to you now, in your
desire to see beyond the surface illusions of your life.
Jul 7, 2008 to Aug 16, 2008, exact Jul 28, 2008 R
Transiting Chiron in semi-square with natal Mercury
The planetary energies conflict in determined subtle tension; calmness is required.
You may be experiencing somewhat painful realizations around the issues of communication and your mental
abilities. Your communication with others may be changing at this time, and you may discover difficulties in
this area, as old issues from the past return to haunt you, or you have to deal with siblings or your friends in a
way that seems less easy and more fraught with pain and uncertainty. Ultimately the higher purpose of these
challenges is for you to come to terms with a new way of thinking and being in the world. It may be in this
way that you can begin to heal some old issues that have previously plagued you. As you do, you may also be
able to share this more holistic vision of your own communication process with your community so that you
can have a healing influence on others around you as well.
Jul 19, 2008 to Aug 27, 2008, exact Aug 8, 2008 R
Transiting Chiron in semi-square with natal Chiron
The planetary energies conflict in determined subtle tension; calmness is required.
This could be a time when strange events force upon you an intimation of other worlds, a broader perspective
than that of ordinary reality, perhaps a taste of the transpersonal world of shamanism and magic. It is also a
time for re-examination of some of the painful issues that may be part of your make-up and that may possibly
have been holding you back until now. Usually some issues from early childhood that were too painful to deal
with in their era, and that have become repressed and remain lodged in your unconscious, come up during this
period of time, perhaps brought on by recent events. Long repressed feelings may be difficult and painful to
deal with, but there is a rich reward for getting in touch with these walled-off areas in order to become more
whole. You can achieve a much greater degree of self-acceptance and ease once you have made the dark
journey of discovery to find what lies within that space.

Transiting Jupiter in square with natal Jupiter
The planetary energies conflict; internal and creative tensions bring rich rewards through effort over time.
Your faith and your plans or aspirations as well as religious feelings will be powerfully and positively affected
at this time, based on the 12-year cycle of Jupiter to its natal position, of which this transit is but one phase.
Travel or educational plans are another possibility for expansion and renewed energy during the course of this
transit. This is an especially important and beneficial period of time in your life. You have a renewed optimism
and faith in yourself, and are likely to influence others by the example of your good energy. You must also be
careful to temper your positive attitude at this time with a healthy dose of practicality or else you might over-
commit yourself, but in general this is a great period of time for enhancing your possibilities. This energy may
be useful for increased leadership in worldly affairs or for choosing different goals in life, perhaps adopting a
more spiritual path.
Aug 2, 2008 to Sep 3, 2008, exact Aug 13, 2008 R
Transiting Jupiter in semi-square with natal Neptune
The planetary energies conflict in determined subtle tension; calmness is required.
You will have renewed energy for the spiritual or philosophical side of your existence during this time. This
transit boosts your sense of spirituality, and your ideals. You are tuning into energy that is essentially beyond
this physical plane, and it may become more real for you than mundane socalled reality. You may also run up
against illusions about what is possible, or actual deception practiced upon you, so that you think you can
make more money or accomplish more than is physically available. Feelings of confusion may also come up
for you during this period of time. A healthy dose of skepticism works well at this time, as an antidote to over-
reaching.
Aug 6, 2008 to Sep 11, 2010, exact Aug 14, 2008
Transiting Saturn into natal Twelfth House
During this transit, lasting two to three years, you are more serious and introspective, and find yourself in a
process of summing up the achievements and the residue of the past thirty years, the period of Saturn's transit
of your entire chart. You are sorting out what aspects of yourself to keep and what parts need to be discarded
at this time, as not wholly congruous with your present self-concept. At this time you are likely more
compassionate and sympathetic to the problems of others. You may have recurrent feelings that life is too
hard, or that it is beyond your conscious control. There may be trying circumstances in your outer life during
the course of this transit such as imprisonment, either real or imagined, or you may feel a strong sense of
guilt, perhaps generalized rather than specific. It is for you in essence a time of withdrawal from active
participation in life, a going within, in order to more fully assimilate new energies that are waiting to be born in
you, when the time is right. During this period your personality is in transition, and outworn aspects of
yourself need to be discarded, however painful that may be, before proceeding onward in your path toward
personal evolution.
Aug 8, 2008 to Aug 14, 2008, exact Aug 11, 2008
Transiting Mars in conjunction with natal Pluto
The strongest blend of the energies represented by these two planets.
Conflicts may come up for you during this relatively brief period of time. During this approximately week-
long transit, your assertion and goal-directed activity will likely be subject to some drastic stresses, for the
purpose of bringing to light the inner workings of repressed impulses you may have in these areas. Your drive
to succeed may be riding at an all-time high during the short period of time this transit is in effect. On the
other hand, this may be a stressful time which is ultimately productive of far-reaching personality changes, as
you feel yourself directly challenged by inner processes that seem about to overwhelm your fragile ego. Either
way, compulsive or control-oriented behavior that normally lies beneath the surface of your conscious
awareness could come up for you at this time. This may be a sign that you are ready to eventually outgrow
these behaviors, which may be carry-overs from the distant past, and no longer appropriate to your present
level of maturity. The challenges forced upon you at this time can be difficult and painful. You need to have
faith in your own process at this time, to guide you through these events to emerge on the other side, calm
once more, and even more wholly yourself than before you went through them.

The planetary energies attract each other, require effort, allow entry of new information.
This transit, lasting about a week, brings a great physical energy and a combative attitude to the factors
represented by Venus in your natal chart: love and relationship, and also personal creativity. You may also
notice an increase in your sex-drive during this period of time. Affected also are your values, including your
aesthetic sensibility and your enjoyment of life's pleasures, and your appreciation for the beauty of your
surroundings, areas that will be energized and enhanced during this relatively brief transit. You may be less
open to compromise than usual as a result of this transit. You also have more energy at this time for all kinds
of creative projects.

Transiting Mars in inconjunct with natal Mars
The planetary energies do not flow smoothly, one or the other predominates; discrimination must be employed.
Your aggressive urge is primed for action at this time. This week-long transit stimulates your outward-
directed activity, assertiveness and also pure animal passion. You are full of vibrant energy, and may need an
outlet such as sports or another form of physical activity to relieve the tension building inside of you. Your
will is strong right now, and you may find yourself more argumentative than usual, so beware of quarrels, or
possibly accidents. You may find great clarity in knowing exactly what you want in your life during the brief
period of time this transit is in effect.
Aug 13, 2008 to Aug 19, 2008, exact Aug 16, 2008
Transiting Mars in sextile with natal Neptune
The planetary energies flow together, open into new possibilities, new connections.
This transit brings your sense of spirituality, and your ideals, to your desires and actions. You may have new
spiritual insights during this period. You will find you have a more disconnected energy than usual, and a
sense of confusion regarding goals. This is a time when you may be more sensitive to others needs and
concerns than your own. You are very aware of other points of view, and also very idealistic in pursuing your
own agenda. It is necessary at this time to focus on what is truly important to you, and to not be discouraged
by seeming setbacks, since every turn in the road serves to further your growing consciousness of what is
possible, both in the physical realm and beyond it.
Aug 17, 2008 to Sep 2, 2008, exact Aug 26, 2008
Transiting Saturn in semi-square with natal Venus
The planetary energies conflict in determined subtle tension; calmness is required.
For this period of time, there is a slowing down effect on your relationships, and also your personal creativity.
What is affected could also include your values, including your sense of the aesthetic. This transit brings
focus to these areas of your life as well as presenting obstacles to the easy completion of artistic or creative
activities, or the solution to any relationship issues that you may have. Such issues may seem to drag on
during this period, and you may also discover limitations in these areas of your life during this period of time.
It is best to use this time in order to discover what is most important to you, especially in the area of
relationships and artistic creativity.

Transiting Uranus in conjunction with natal Sun
The strongest blend of the energies represented by these two planets.
Your whole life is in flux. Things are changing for you at this time, and you may have trouble keeping up with
the pace of events. These events are forcing something to emerge from somewhere deep inside of you - what
is it? Holding back can only make things crazier. It's time to give up and just go "with the flow". Your feelings
of restlessness under this transit may be urging you to let go of some previously cherished structure of your
life. There may also be a change in your relationship with your father, or the father within you, at this time.
These challenges are forcing you to grow to a previously unsurpassed level of maturity, a new way of taking
charge of your own life.
Aug 21, 2008 to Aug 27, 2008, exact Aug 24, 2008
Transiting Mars in opposition with natal Chiron

Transiting Mars in inconjunct with natal Moon
The planetary energies do not flow smoothly, one or the other predominates; discrimination must be employed.
You may find yourself expressing anger more openly than you usually do. This can be a benefit, since feelings
brought out into the open are thus more available to yourself and others. This aspect also indicates a period of
time when action is a more comfortable mode of operation than sitting back and awaiting events. Try not to
be too rash in taking action, sometimes the "wait and see" game is best in the long run.

Transiting Mars in opposition with natal Mercury
The planetary energies are polarized; outer events stimulate their interaction; integration is the challenge.
This week-long transit will have the effect of increasing your verbal punch, or the energy with which you
express your ideas. You may find yourself becoming sharp tongued with people at this time. Your mind and
intellect are affected, as well as your communication generally, such as written messages or conversations,
also talking with friends and associates. These areas of your life will be energized and ego issues brought to
bear on them during the relatively brief period of time this transit is in effect. You have an unusually forceful
and strong-willed stance in your communication with others right now. It is good for trying to get your ideas
across or a plan in motion when other people need to be convinced. However, you need to beware of being
overly critical with friends and associates during this time. There may be difficulties that arise in your
communication with other people, and conflict is a distinct possibility. Greater energy is also available for
friends or perhaps for thinking about the direction of your life force.

Transiting Mars in inconjunct with natal Saturn
The planetary energies do not flow smoothly, one or the other predominates; discrimination must be employed.
You are stopped in your tracks in the outward arc of your go power for these few days, but it is a good time
for getting serious about what you are actually trying to accomplish. The established structures in your life are
likely to demand more of your attention than usual for this brief period of time. It is not a good time for going
ahead with large-scale projects, but rather for sticking with routine and accomplishing in little ways.

for you during this period of time. During this period, you are very conscious of your urge for freedom, or
your need to find your own unique individual expression of yourself. You may have new spiritual insights or
your will to be different may be more powerful during this relatively brief period of time. You may find
yourself to be impulsive under this influence, and may need to consider a balanced and gradual approach to
striving for your goals, rather than "going off half-cocked" right now. On the other hand, you also may come
to sudden realizations of changes you may need to make, which it would be wise to act on. These changes
may have been waiting in the wings for some time, and are only now finding their way into your actions.
Aug 25, 2008 to Oct 7, 2008, exact Aug 27, 2008
Transiting Mars into natal First House

others. This is a period of time, usually lasting about six weeks, when your focus tends to be on yourself,
when you exploit your nature as a unique individual in order to get ahead in the world. You have lots of energy
and great physical vitality during this transit, and you only need to guard against impulsive or even rash
behavior. Whatever experiences come to you at this time, you will be ready to use them to the fullest
advantage in your life development.

directed activity, assertiveness and also pure animal passion. You are full of vibrant energy, and may need an
outlet such as sports or another form of physical activity to relieve the tension building inside of you. Your
will is strong right now, and you may find yourself more argumentative than usual, so beware of quarrels, or
possibly accidents. You may find great clarity in knowing exactly what you want in your life during the brief
period of time this transit is in effect.

You are likely to have beneficial contacts with other people, and have positive feelings come up for you in
regard to important interpersonal relationships during the period of time this transit is in effect. You are full of
enthusiasm for projects and moving ahead during this approximately week-long transit, and you benefit by
tempering your confidence with just a bit of pessimism, for balance. You may have so much physical energy
that you need to seek an outlet for it in sports or related activities. Travel is another urge that may come over
you at this time. You are also likely find contact with the opposite sex quite pleasant and rewarding during the
course of this transit. Overall, you will find you have much greater energy than usual, and your renewed
sense of optimism may give you great clarity of purpose. There is a higher purpose to your activity at this
time, beyond merely striving for ego gratification. Any activities that you engage in during this time will be
very productive for you in long-term results, provided that you keep in balance and refrain from overdoing it.

Transiting Neptune in quintile with natal Saturn
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.

Transiting Mars in semi-square with natal Neptune
The planetary energies conflict in determined subtle tension; calmness is required.
This transit brings your sense of spirituality, and your ideals, to your desires and actions. You may find that
you have new spiritual insights at this time, and also a more disconnected energy than usual, perhaps a sense
of confusion in your life. You are tuning into energy that is essentially beyond this physical plane. This can
therefore be a very mystifying period for you. It is also likely that outer events will seemingly conspire against
your successes during the brief period of time this transit is in effect. It is necessary at this time to focus on
what is truly important to you, and to not be discouraged by seeming setbacks, since every turn in the road
serves to further your growing consciousness of what is possible, both in the physical realm and beyond it.

Your natural optimism is deserting you these days. Your faith in yourself and your plans or aspirations as well
as religious feelings will be emphasized at this time. These ideals may be restricted in some way and may
change as a result of this transit. This is a relatively stressful period of time for you, a time to dig in and plug
ahead with projects and life goals you have set for yourself. Travel or educational plans are another possibility
for restrictions and changes during the course of this transit. You are also more serious than usual during this
period of time, and you benefit from taking the time to just relax and enjoy yourself, rather than to struggle 24
hours a day. Your resolve in implementing your dreams will be tested now, and you may well come away
from the experience with an altered conception of their real meaning for your life.

You will have renewed energy for the spiritual or philosophical side of your existence during this time. This
transit boosts your sense of spirituality, and your ideals. You are tuning into energy that is essentially beyond
this physical plane, and it may become more real for you than mundane socalled reality. You may also run up
against illusions about what is possible, or actual deception practiced upon you, so that you think you can
make more money or accomplish more than is physically available. Feelings of confusion may also come up
for you during this period of time. A healthy dose of skepticism works well at this time, as an antidote to over-
reaching.

generally, and these areas will also be enhanced and energized during the course of this transit. It is a good
time to involve yourself in artistic projects, or creative work of any kind. You will undoubtedly be more

long transit, your assertion and goal-directed activity will likely be subject to some drastic stresses, for the
purpose of bringing to light the inner workings of repressed impulses you may have in these areas. The
challenges forced upon you at this time can be difficult and painful. You need to have faith in your own
process at this time, to guide you through these events to emerge on the other side, calm once more, and even
more wholly yourself than before you went through them.

acquisitiveness. You may have a tendency to be preoccupied with your own material well-being at this time.

may come up for you, or issues of self-acceptance versus feelings of rejection. Usually these types of events
point to deeper issues which you may not have brought all the way up to your consciousness, but which
remain as a source of irritation and frustration operating more or less unconsciously at a deep level of your
psyche. These issues may be painful to connect with. But getting in touch with these areas is for your
ultimate benefit, for the more integration you can achieve within your psyche, the more whole you are and the
more you can bring yourself forward to be of help to other people on the same journey of discovery.

of your life, and your ego-investment in that structure, is bound to change as a result of the pressure of
events, and this is never easy. This transit can be an excellent time for a new beginning, in which the sum of
previous efforts taken can be used to advantage in a new move of some sort, designed to make the most out
of your endeavors. Try to accompany all the hard work with a healthy dose of pleasure. The key lies in

Transiting Mars in conjunction with natal Neptune
The strongest blend of the energies represented by these two planets.
Feelings of confusion regarding what you want or what you are trying to accomplish may come up for you
during the week or so that this transit is in effect. This transit brings your sense of spirituality, and your
ideals, to your desires and actions. You may find that you have new spiritual insights at this time, and also a
more disconnected energy than usual, perhaps a sense of confusion in your life. You are tuning into energy
that is essentially beyond this physical plane and your desire nature reflects this otherworldly charge. This is a
time when you are you are very aware of other points of view, and also very idealistic in pursuing your own
agenda. You may even imagine goals for yourself that are more fanciful than realistic or that may never come
to fruition. With so many different points of view available to you, there is danger that you may lose yourself
in all of the possibilities. This can therefore be a very mystifying period for you. It is also likely that outer
events will seemingly conspire against your successes during the brief period of time this transit is in effect. It
is necessary at this time to focus on what is truly important to you, and to not be discouraged by seeming
setbacks, since every turn in the road serves to further your growing consciousness of what is possible, both
in the physical realm and beyond it.
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 most commonly used aspects 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.
