Good Morning, dear Friends and Readers, hope you all are staying safe out there! BTW, you need to be aware that Uranus in Taurus (and Mars this winter) will be squaring both transiting Jupiter and Saturn in Aquarius. Beware of the hackers !! Taurus rules money and banks. Keep an eye on your accounts and don’t fall for scammer emails, texts, or phone calls. Check out other astrologers and see what they are saying…

OK, back to the more personal transits…if you have LEO rising then Jupiter will be moving through your 7th house this year. Pay attention to the degree on your 7th cusp. Be aware of the entry date and also keep an eye on Saturn’s entry, too. (More on that when I start the Saturn series…) The 7th is marriage and partnerships. People that have Aquarius energy in the 7th in the birth chart need to have a solid friendship with their partner. Since it’s an air sign, they need plenty of mental stimulation. Friends are very important. If you have this position and you want your partnership to work then you need to like your partner’s friends and vice versa. Aquarius also indicates a partnership that is very intuitive. Such fun to read each other’s mind and communicate telepathically :)) Yes, you guys, I know I already did Leo but I re-read it and decided to add some lighter stuff…

If you have CANCER rising then Jupiter will be transiting through your 8th house of shared money, shared power, love and intimacy. The 8th rules group money like insurance, mutual funds, insurance accounts, retirement accounts, wills and trusts, taxes, etc. Keeping in mind the Jupiter principle, expansion, most people with this transit will find it easier to get a loan, a credit card, or just have access to more funds. You want to be careful not to go too far out on that limb, since Saturn (contraction) is also saying be serious this year, not frivolous. Loans have to be paid back. Those of you who are planning a loan or a re-fi can probably count on low interest rates for a couple more years, according to what the Federal Reserve has said publicly. After that it’s anybody’s guess. The square from transiting Uranus can add an element of instability. If it was me, I wouldn’t go near any long term loans with adjustable rates, but if you want to buy bonds, consider the I Bonds which are adjusted for inflation periodically. Young people who had fun this year trading in and out of stocks could be in for a wake up call. Buying on margin is also a loan. The market can turn nasty in a second. There’s an old saying… “The market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent.” SO… be careful and be prudent. The long term trends are pretty obvious with the new administration — electric vehicles, clean up the planet, recycle, alternative energy, work at home tech, and ongoing inventions will be huge — robotics, etc.

Looking at the 8th as love, sex, and deep emotions, the Aquarian energy is kind of a mandate that mental stimulation and shared ideals need to be the foundation for a deeper partnership. People tend to forget that any text or email or phone call is recorded for eternity, so be prudent about hot and heavy phone conversations, photos, etc. The truth about Aquarian energy is that it can be a catalyst to personal growth but there is an element of instability. Friends to lovers, then suddenly back to platonic friends. I’ve seen this happen many times with single people who have a lot of Aquarius planets in their birth chart. You may choose to side-step all the drama. You may already be in a committed partnership in which case there may be some experimentation with each other, but not with other people.

The study of martial arts falls into the 8th house. Other hobbies you might want to explore would be dousing for water with rods, or using metal detectors. 8th house, solving mysteries and finding buried treasure. This could be stuff like rock hunting, or even going on an archaeological dig. This house is very good for developing psychic abilities with pets. There are actually classes for this, possibly online.

If you have GEMINI rising, then Jupiter in Aquarius is moving through your 9th house of metaphysics and philosophy, higher ed, long distance travel and communication, and foreign contacts. The 9th is more than college degrees; it is the house of licensing and ceremonies. Saturn also in Aquarius would put even more emphasis on studying to fulfill a long-term goal. There are great deals for online study and courses these days. If you are already bi-lingual, you could find a dynamite job. One interesting thing about the pandemic is that every aspect of our lives took a huge leap to digital/virtual. If the virus was over tomorrow we would not be going back to the old ways. Of course we would all rejoice because we could see our loved ones, party, travel, go out to eat, etc., but all the government business, meetings, conferences, and probably a lot of classes would still remain on line simply because it’s quicker, cheaper, and more efficient. You people with Gemini rising have a very positive opportunity to tune into the future and position yourselves accordingly. The Aquarius transits trine your Ascendant. A trine is lucky and flows almost effortlessly. I don’t know if you will meet someone online, or form a connection with a group of people online, but it will be favorable and it will open up your life to new possibilities.

This is a great time for you to think seriously about your life, especially future career goals. Analyse your current job or career field and see if it allows you to maximize your potential in terms of satisfaction and fulfillment as well as financial needs. Even if learning has not come easily to you in the past, you have a special period ahead to either retrain yourself or advance to the next step in your career. Computers, science, medical, engineering, robotics and the newer technology are fields that need MORE people. I don’t have that kind of scientific mind. It’s all I can do to use the basics — phone, computer, etc. But I still try to learn one new trick each day. If that sounds like you, consider teaching others skills that you already have. People who have either Gemini Sun or Gemini Ascendant are really good multi-taskers. They usually have good vocabulary and language skills. You could teach as a side job or get an ESL degree while still working. My knowledge may be out of date but it used to take less than 6 months to get an ESL degree — English as a Second Language. This would enable you to teach online, to tutor privately, to teach overseas later on, or even teach at a community college later. It’s a very versatile type of certification. With the world getting smaller and people emigrating everywhere, language skills will be in demand.

The 9th house is also comparative religious philosophy and metaphysics. Anything you want to study or teach in those areas has a better chance for success for the next couple years. Maybe you like handwriting analysis. Maybe you can read cards. Or tea leaves. Or teach yoga. Yoga takes a few years to get the credentials needed. If it’s something you LOVE, then take that as a sign to proceed. I have done readings for over 50 years and I’m never tired of it, because I love what I do. I learn something new from every person I meet. What a blessing !!

The 9th is writing and publishing but the formal part of this industry seems to be in fluctuation. Yes, there are magazines and books still being published, but there’s a lot of stuff online, too. It’s not that you can’t succeed in the field, but sometimes I think people are getting so bombarded by information that they go on overload. So the formal writing of the 9th would be my last recommendation. There are other paths to satisfaction. Though I did a woman’s chart who had great birth planets in her 9th and she wrote Christian romance novels. She had contracts and used a nom de plume. She was paid about 10K for each book plus a royalty fee. Not bad if you love what you are doing :))

Well, folks, that’s it for now. I’ll be back in a day or two with more houses. Only 3 more to go…then on to Saturn. Life seems heavy enough already !! Stay safe, everyone :)) Jenae
