Happy Equinox, everyone :)) Equinoxes and Solstices are always good times for card readings. There are many different decks that are helpful. Maybe I’ll write a post about them later, but today let’s continue with Saturn…

If you have LEO rising, then Saturn is moving through your 7th house of marriage and partnerships, and this includes any important one on one relationship. I have observed that people will either make a commitment or break up when either Saturn or Jupiter enter their 7th — it can go either way. Saturn can mean the heavy responsibilities don’t feel fair if one partner feels like they’re doing all the work, so they want out. Saturn can also symbolize longevity and attachment in a relationship, so the couple may even formalize their union by getting legally married, or signing business agreements if it’s a business partnership. Jupiter is also in Aquarius this year, and since Jupiter is the planet that symbolizes licenses and ceremonies and certifications, a couple may decided to deepen their commitment to each other. Since Jupiter is the planet of growth and expansion, the opposite happens when the person decides they need more space and freedom and a broader horizon. Put all this together and we can safely say that your transits are indicating that there is a huge emphasis on your most important relationships this year. It may not be easy but you’re going to learn alot…

When you add in the squares from transiting Uranus in Taurus, this creates a T-square that pushes a lot of energy toward Scorpio, most likely your 4th house of home and family. A lot of change and upheaval is possible this year. I know some people with Leo Suns with a fairly hefty amount of authority and responsibility and they are on the verge of major anger since the people in their lives are not cooperating for the good of the whole family, group, business, etc. Having Leo rising puts more emphasis on teamwork and friends and groups. People with the Aquarius in their 7th are attached to their friends. It is very important that friends are a positive influence on you and your partner and that you both like each other’s friends and group affiliations. If not, that’s where the trouble will erupt.

The next transiting square between Saturn and Uranus will be exact on June 14th. Best to be respectful, conduct yourself with dignity, and be fair about any division of assets. I would add that you may need to protect yourself if a partner is not being fair, but Leo rising people are not always objective. You may need some legal advice.

Looking for some positives in all this…if you have a partner and both of you have the ambition to accomplishment big projects, then this could be a stellar year for the two of you. By working together, you can support each other’s goals. It could be remodeling at home, or starting a business from home. If you are re-tooling your careers, then it may be studying and/or putting in hours for certification in your new field, which is still another version of working at home if you are taking on-line courses. It’s a good year to add a new stream of income…

If you have CANCER rising, then Saturn in Aquarius is moving through your 8th house of shared money, shared power, love, and intimacy. The 8th being a water house, is an emotional house, yet the Aquarian energy tends to be detached from emotions and mentally stimulated by new ideas. Jupiter here makes it easy to get a loan or increase credit, but Saturn in the 8th can mean someone who owes YOU is having trouble paying you back. Don’t over-extend and try not to loan money or stuff to people this year, no matter how much you love them. Continuing the shared money theme, be meticulous about taxes and insurance. It is actually a great year to make long-term investments that will pay off in retirement or old age. If you are a young person, time is on your side and you can invest in all the newest ideas like alternative energy, robotics, computers, medical breakthroughs and bio-chemistry, etc. — because that longer time frame works for you. Older people will need to be more cautious.

Cancer energy is known for collections of objects that are dear to them. Sure, it could be baseball cards, but it could also be art, old tools, toys, anything historical that interests you. With the 8th house, you might be buying or appraising and selling instead. It could go either way. If you have an expensive collection, then you need to insure it. Probably a good idea to review all your insurance policies…

Looking at the emotion and passion of the 8th house, you may be doing a lot of reading or studying about sex and emotional intimacy. There could be medical reasons, or just preparing for a child who is reaching puberty. Pornography and bondage games come to mind, as do crime novels. Sometimes people taking strong 8th house transits want to explore the dark side. Sometimes they are just hungry for a deeper, more fulfilling experience. There are counselors available who specialize in sex and intimacy. Some of you will be fortunate to have dear friends you can talk to about this stuff. Just PLEASE be careful about letting new partners into your life. Check them out, hire a PI if you feel the need or run a background check. Maybe I’ve been reading too much news but it seems like crime and deception is on the rise. I personally think there is a huge mental health crisis in this country, partly due to the pandemic. People are going off the deep end !! Life on the wild side can be exciting but can also leave you with lifelong trauma and scars…

I’ve been seeing a lot of clients lately with their Nodes in the 8th house in the later degrees of Capricorn. At the end of this year, there will be a lot of energy in the 8th — Pluto, Venus, Mars, and even Mercury partly, plus the Sun and Moon during various times. I think this may have to do with how wisely and fairly these people handle their power and authority. The 8th house at its best is the defender of the weak and helpless, and makes wise and careful decisions that benefit all concerned. It doesn’t matter what sign you have on your 8th — there’s still a Scorpio flavor. I think Pope Francis says it best — the more power someone has, the more responsible and humble they need to be…compare and contrast that statement with the exposure of greed and corruption going on in the world…some people still don’t get it. We’re going to continue to have BIG problems until each person realizes that what one person does affects the whole planet. WE ALL have the power to choose how we will conduct our lives. That’s the 8th house…

More manana, stay tuned…Namaste, Jenae
