Introduction
Before beginning, choose the SHORT VERSION REPORT for all the important data you will need for any month. The longer version includes much more data that MAY confuse you if you are looking for just the facts.
The biggest challenge to your health and diet is your emotional state. When your emotions are out of control, your body follows your lead. Second in command is Mercury, taking the lead from the emotions and reacting on the body in very profound ways.
Please let me Introduce you to the MONTHLY FITNESS AND HEALTHY LIFE STYLE GUIDE REPORT.
What it is: A monthly look at dietary and exercise potential based on the sign on the Ascendant, with a secondary look at the Moon, house, aspects and all other planets. It is a "LONG TERM" procedure for people interested in taking charge and control of their lives, and understanding the underlying cause of diet and exercise breakdowns. By understanding the monthly influences imposed upon them, they can work with them and avoid the pitfalls placed in their path.
What It is NOT: It is not intended to be used for "quick" dietary loss or health maintenance. It is not meant to be an "overload" of information so that the reader is confused by what can be overwhelming information if not closely monitored as seen below (in the USE paragraph).
DISCLAIMER: No diet or exercise regime should be started without the advice of a doctor or physician.
What is included: Signs on the Ascendant, planets in the house, signs and aspects, Midheaven (as others see us and contribute to our dietary effort).
What is NOT included and why: Midpoints. The main emphasis must be on the monthly emotional response that gets us all into trouble, causing us to spin out of control in a dietary sense.
So How Do I Use It: Major Focus, Focus and no notations. Items marked with Major focus have everything to do with the Health and diet guide. Items marked with focus are still important, but not as much of a major focus as the others. No notation means that the data has been included for information purposes, but I feel do not have a stronger influence than the information that is tagged.
An Important Note On Metabolism: You will see references to metabolism as rated High, Low and Medium. Just because a rating of high is considered good, all it really means is that you have an increased appetite more often. "If" you don’t get off your butt and do some sort of exercise, all that food will simply turn into fat.
Helpful hints:
These points work for me, and are only suggestions. Find what works for you and make the change. Best of luck!
1) Throw away the scale! If your clothes begin to fall off, or become loose, you are losing weight.
2) Pay attention to transits to your natal chart by the planet Jupiter (it expands what it touches), it tends to keep you bloated and feeling that nothing is happening. If you stay with it and don’t give in to a "Why am I trying, when nothing is happening?" attitude, you will be very happy with your success after the Jupiter transits end, either natal or Lunar returns.
3) Pay attention to transits to your natal chart by the planet Saturn, it tends to bind up the internal works, when passing the easiest food becomes somewhat difficult. Carbohydrates and bread are especially difficult.
4) Bread is the biggest thief of your energy. It will cause sluggish behavior, loss of energy and send you in for a nap to recharge yourself.
5) Eat several times a day (every 5-6 hours is comfortable), with smaller portions. Never wait until you are starving to eat, because you can always count on over-eating. If you eat tiny morsels of food several times a day, you will never be "hungry".
6) Eat heavy meals (earlier) during the day. Your last meal should be no later than 6pm. Eat enough to carry you through until AM, but not so much that you can’t digest it.
7) If you over-eat, skip the next meal, as you have over-loaded your digestive system, then wait until you start to feel hungry and have a very small vegetarian type meal. Drink lots of water.
8) Double cheeseburgers won’t help your diet, but if you must, eat it at noon and don’t eat until dinner at 6, eating only vegetable type foods and by all means drink plenty of water. Remove as much bread as possible before eating, and your digestive system will thank you.
9) I know what they say about coffee being a no-no, but on a day when you have a very busy schedule and need to get going, one cup (the real stuff) in the morning does the trick for the entire day, and an added benefit of being a wonderful diuretic. Any more than one cup reacts negatively on the nervous system. For me, the energy from one cup of coffee lasts 2-3 days, limiting my intake even more. I am actually down to 1/3 of a cup now. It still keeps me wired for 3 days.
10) Do experiment with food groups and types to see what your body likes and dislikes. For me it is Chinese food. I get a complete (takeout portion controlled) meal for a nominal price, and it covers all the food groups. I pass on the soup though. I have a dozen meals made up at a time and freeze them until needed. As a suggestion, I might have Pepper steak (replaced with chicken) with vegetables and fried rice. My body agrees with the results, but yours may react differently.
11) If you are a couch potato like me who spends most of his day sitting (writing text like this), then exercise is more essential. If you sit and watch TV a lot, then include exercises that you can do while watching TV. Make your personal space your work out area as well.
12) Your Lunar return influences change every month, and so should your diet, if not only to keep you from getting bored to death! You will actually find your body needs and food groups change as well.
For the past two years I have been paying careful attention to the Lunar return (13 moons), and especially the sign on the Ascendant, and have come up with the following and very effective guide for everyone concerned with health, diet and exercise. As a long time sufferer dealing with obesity, I have practiced what I am about to preach with very nice results. It is what has inspired me to write this program and keep track of the ups and downs, pitfalls and workable solutions to a problem plaguing many Americans. I believe it to be an invaluable tool (if used correctly) to take back control of your life. The nice part about this program is, if you fail, you can always start over. You might even understand why you failed, bringing eventual success to your efforts. It points out quite clearly how you might fair in a "fire sign month", or how you may fail or see less than expected results in a "Venus controlled month".

Lunar Return for: Torrance, CA 33 N 50 09 118 W 50 09
LUNAR RETURN: July 10, 2007 at 1:02:26 AM
Zodiac Signs on the Ascendant and MC, and the Ascendant Ruler
The zodiac signs on the Ascendant and MC, and the house position of the Ascendant ruler at the time of the Lunar return are described below. Your social and career opportunities for the coming month are influenced by these signs and house placement.
Ascendant in Sagittarius (MAJOR FOCUS):
Characteristics of Sagittarius on the Ascendant:
You will do everything in grand style this month. There is nothing introverted in your life as you wander around through doing nothing special except "visiting" every place you can think of so others can see you, rather than you seeing them. You have many associates and acquaintances, but the chance of having real friends is questionable.
You like to keep communications light, non-threatening and casual rather than get involved in heavy discussions. You have a love of travel and you should feel that you have been born with roller skates on your feet so when you awake you can be on your way again. Philosophic thought and religious matters will have special importance in your life in some form.
Energetic enthusiasm surrounds this whole month, but physical stamina is not at its strongest now. In fact, laziness can easily accompany this influence unless there is motivation to perform accompanying it. Routine and boring physical exercise is not your forte, even if you are on the move quite a bit. Matters connected to philosophy, travel, spirituality, teaching, writing, publishing and research will be very strong for you this month. Love of theater, dancing, sports, animals, travel and good food and drink will be more interesting to you as well.
The Ruling Planet for this Lunar Month:
Sagittarius is ruled by Jupiter, the happy and optimistic planet.The Part Of The Body Your Sign Rules:
Sagittarius rules the hips, thighs, sciatic nerve, liver, lungs and motor nerves. The tendency to feverish complaints may be noted this month.Your Metabolic rate for this Lunar Month:
High. INCREASES THE APPETITE dramatically, making you feel hungry more often. With this much energy present, you should be able to overcome any obstacles before you. Remember to change your routine to keep from getting bored. Because it will be very easy to burn up food that you eat now, make sure to eat smaller and more nutritious meals. If you eat more frequently, say 4 mini-meals a day, your body will thank you for it. Just like a car or plane, the better the fuel that you put in, the better the performance. Avoid heavy food and carbohydrates that can clog the engine and slow you down, stealing your energy. Heavy food can cause you to feel sluggish, resulting in the need to take more breaks and afternoon or evening naps to recharge.Likely attitude towards diet and exercise:
"I don’t mind exercise, as a matter of fact, right after I get done eating, drinking and taking a nap, I’m gonna get right on it!"Exercise Programs:
Exercise with friends that you enjoy being with, to add an extra spark to your workout. Archery, fencing, rock climbing, polo, horseback riding, calisthenics, rafting, hiking, camping, and canoeing would be an excellent workout for you.Eat:
Fruits and vegetables, raw salads, green peppers, strawberries, pears, apples, potatoes, oats, whole grain cereals, egg yolk, broiled poultry and fish, beets, tomatoes, plums, cherries, oranges, lemons, skim milk, yogurt, brown rice, whole wheat, (drink) water, and rice. Eat four smaller meals a day rather than three large ones. Ethnic foods such as vegetables, curry, sushi, rice, salad, also juice, granola, dried apricots, popcorn and raisins. Asparagus and olives can be great cleansing agents, along with green peas, mushrooms, sage, cloves and nutmeg.Avoid:
Butter and other fats, gravies, cream, candy, and chocolate. Try to cut down on as much alcohol as possible to avoid damage to the liver and skin.Pay attention to any/all planets located in the First House of the self, for additional tips and information, as well as the aspects to them.
Disclaimer: Before starting any diet, always seek the advice of a doctor or physician.
Ascendant is in Sagittarius, Aries Decanate
The metabolic rate this month is Very high. INCREASES THE APPETITE dramatically, making you feel hungry more often.
Ruled by the planet Mars, you have a gift for original thought in religion or philosophy. You will dislike being boxed into any situation with no way out. You can blame it on your adventuresome, risk taking & independent natures when you are. Do you have a reputation for acting first and thinking about what you did afterwards? This is the aspect that will bring out those qualities. Executive abilities become dominant and you are very ambitious. Be careful of your own self undoing with this placement of Mars.
Ruler of Ascendant in 12th house:
With the Lunar Ascendant Ruler in the Lunar 12th house, the things that you must do daily to maintain a spiritual and soul identity become a strong focus. The 12th house is related to secret enemies and the unconscious, as well as service to others, behind the scenes activities, as well as your retired and private life.
Additional 12th house influences:
Social work, charity, volunteer work, subconscious fear, guilt, resentment, hate, past-life karma, skeletons in the closet, damaging secrets, secret plots, compassion, psychic ability, sensitivity, self-undoing, confinement, imprisonment, religious retreats, subconscious mind, libraries, mental illness, emotional blocks, addictions, secret motives, hidden agendas, suppressed knowledge, secret societies, occult wisdom, hidden meanings, illumination, enlightenment, fantasy, self-deception, hidden enemies, hospitals, institutions, spirituality, unredeemed karma, selfless service, mystical inspiration, and clairvoyant abilities.MC in Libra:
Since this is the most "visible" part of the Lunar chart, it represents how you want to be seen by the outside world. It is the face or mask that you deliberately put on for others to see.
With Libra on the Midheaven this month, you should try to avoid beef, pork, sugar, alcohol and carbonated drinks which are bad for the kidneys.
Career matters or things you can have some kind of interest on this month includes fashion, beauty, interior design, antiques, the legal profession, or modeling. You may attract attention because of your appearance, talents, position in society, or being in the spotlight.
Your goals will require peace and harmony away from the maddening crowds. You will have a flair for artistic and creative projects and can talk up a storm. Legal careers are a nice compliment to your temperament, with the ability to see both sides of a situation while remaining unbiased. Since you have a wonderful sense of color, consider decorating, painting, drawing or any field that allows you to match patterns with your surroundings.
Marriage is very important to you, but you must look before you leap into it because you have the tendency to marry very quickly, and suffer the consequences of your impatient quest until you can bear it no longer. You put your friendly and enchanting face forward in a non-aggressive manner and you would much rather make peace with people in an agreeable way which is your approach to win people over to your side.
The Sun
The placement of the Sun in the Lunar return chart is very important and affects almost every area of your life!
Sun in 8th house (FOCUS):
The Lunar Sun is now in your 8th house. Involvement in business, joint finances, taxes, insurance, wills or goods of the deceased, behavior patterns, heavy changes or something in your life that comes to an end are matters you will deal with in one way or another. Changes instituted now will come with the influence that only "Scorpio-8th house energy" can bring. Your financial status will have you concerned, perhaps more than normal.
Additional 8th house interpretations:
Rebirth, transformation, other peoples money, secrets, sex, mysticism, intuitiveness, renewing, rebuilding, restoring, refurbishing, limiting beliefs, bad habits, attachments with people that drain you physically, attachments to possessions that restrict or burden, obsessions, compulsive behavior, legacies, inheritance, insurance, alimony, taxes, loans, psychic and occult matters, and metaphysics.Sun sextile Moon:
The creative juices are flowing this month! What can you use that creativity on? Let your mind go free and experience something perhaps for the first time. Relationships are likely to include more Cancer, Scorpio or Pisces (water sign people).
Don't be so easygoing this month that people take advantage of you unless you want them to, that is the only real danger this here. Romance and Real Estate matters are also favored.
Satisfaction with working conditions allows a better product to be produced and a more traditional type of entertainment will prove more satisfying to you in your off time.
Sun trine Uranus:
The wheel of fortune can easily bring possibilities for advancement, or a desire to learn something new. This is a great month for a second honeymoon, and fortunate for buying or playing with some new electronic gadgets or toys. Wonderful creative insights can fill your head, so try and use them for your own advantage. Social activities increase and whatever you tackle should work out very well. Contacts are likely to be with Aquarius people, or people who have those qualities, and should be harmonious.
This is a wonderful influence for a family gathering and the grasping of new ideas will be very easy for you. A time of increased popularity has found you and exciting adventures can be experienced. Some mild speculations can be rewarding as well.
Romantic encounters or relationships that start now are guaranteed to be ELECTRIC in nature. Some sort of sudden turn in your life can easily occur that will have you looking at things in totally new ways. You may suddenly decide to move or change your vocation. Creativity is blessed with new concepts, ideas and form.
The Moon
The placement of the Moon in the Lunar return chart affects emotions, moods, domestic affairs and relationships with women during the coming month.
Moon in 5th house (MAJOR FOCUS):
Now, right after the Ascendant this month, the Moon is extremely important to your health, diet and well being. The Moon RULES your emotional state, and which ever way it goes, so does your diet and health. Ever been in love?????? I mean really in love?? Did you need to eat to feel whole, or was love your entire nourishment? What happened when you broke up, got divorced or weren’t getting along, and who became your new bestest friend (again)??? Food!
Wherever the Moon is placed this month, is where you will look for love, support or emotional nourishment. The aspects to the moon this month will show you your chance of finding it. With well aspected (nourished) planets your health and quality of life thrives, but anything negative will send you off your diet and health plan into the waiting and willing arms of a lover called food!!! If you will look at the planets afflicted (difficult), it will give you some idea of how you will try to nourish yourself (food) and what you have a thirst or hunger for. Spicy and hot foods (Mars) can point to sexual desire, sweets (Venus) can indicate a need for pure love and romance. Even in times of anger, you will turn to this willing lover (food), who never ever, ever lets you down, especially when wrongs haven’t been righted. The amount of food you eat when angry will show just how much you want to punish others or punish yourself.
The Lunar Moon is now in your 5th house. Now that the Lunar Moon has touched your pleasurable and sensual side there might get a sudden desire to see a movie, take in a play or become dramatic in our emotional expression. Romance is in the air and we will be feeling VERY amorous whether in a relationship or indulging in a passing whimsy. Since children are also a fifth house matter we may be more concerned with their lives and be a lot more protective of them this month, or there can be upsetting conditions around children and their welfare which we can react to very strongly and emotionally.
When your emotions get out of control with the Moon located here, you will head straight for fatty foods, snack foods, cakes, and candy.
Additional 5th house interpretations:
Love affairs, speculation, games, creative expression through art, music, dance, theatrics, writing, poetry, songs, stories, athletics, or personal craftsmanship. Creating beauty, courtship, lovemaking, pastimes, concerts, dating, playing with children, parties and leisure activity.Moon sextile Uranus:
Cars should be bought or repaired with this placement, if possible when the Lunar Return Moon is on the increase or well aspected to the sign Aquarius. New technologies and ideas can be grasped much easier, and changes implemented on the home front will have a positive outcome. People can and will show up unexpectedly and out of the blue.
Phone calls can suddenly arrive from women in distress, and you will find the compassion to provide comfort to them. Communications can arrive from Aquarian people, or people with those qualities.
Moon square Neptune:
Your Emotions are out of control, dictating what you eat and drink-Water retention.
Neptune rules the feet, toes and bones of the feet. Some health complaints this month are swelling, allergic reaction to drugs, or problems with the feet. There can be vulnerabilities or sensitivity to medicines, drugs, and anesthesia.
Avoid:
Cut down on table salt, for that can make you feel bloated. Coffee can over-stimulate Neptune natives and should be cut down to a bare minimum. Neptune also governs drugs, you should be careful in their use. Avoid alcohol in excess too because it will tend to dehydrate you.Confusion and delusions can cloud your sense of reality this month, and self destructive behavior should be excluded from your environment. Allow more time to pray or meditate. During this month it would be best to refrain from using any form of drugs or alcohol. You will find that your psychic impressions and ESP can be out of whack temporarily. There can be some overwhelming obsession to someone, perhaps a Pisces person.
Mercury
The placement of Mercury in the Lunar return chart affects communication, and your ability to learn and express yourself during the coming month.
Mercury in 7th house (MAJOR FOCUS):
They say that where the mind goes, the body follows. That is why there is a Major Focus on it every month. What you think, speak and project, even unspoken words will convince the body of your intent and act accordingly. Positive affirmation of your goals will bring positive results to your health and diet efforts. Negative thoughts and actions will bring nothing but negative results to your health and diet efforts. Look at the aspects to Mercury to find out if the influences around you this month will act to derail your efforts or strengthen them. If they are negative, look to the cause and correct them. You may not be able to change them completely, but you will be aware of what the cause is, and be prepared to work with them, instead of against them. You have the tools for success, if you don’t take them out of the tool box and put them to work, what good are they?
Mercury is in your 7th house, and indicates areas of interests in your life this month, as well as health matters or where your thoughts are likely to be focused.
Increased communications with partners both marriage and business are highlighted. Business matters increase as do public relations, social activities and advertising methods. You may be contacting or discussing matters with attorneys, lawyers or doctors as well. If Mercury makes a harsh aspect while in the 7th house, there can be communication problems in marriage or partnerships, and legal difficulties.
Additional 7th house interpretations:
Commitment, harmony, marriage partners, romantic partners, business partners, doctor and patient relationships, relating to people who oppose your ideas, competitors, adversaries, opponents in any area, conflicts, enemies, lawsuits, karmic patterns, people's reactions to our actions, the public, and legal affairs.Mercury square MC:
Your mind is out of sync with your body.
The body takes its orders directly from the mind. As the mind goes, so goes the body. Influences that will either support or sabotage your health and diet efforts this month are indicated here. Hard or difficult aspects to Mercury will bring negative results and possible illness. They will HELP to show you the error of your ways, and your thought process, not to punish you with failure. Soft or easy aspects to Mercury will help, support, nurture and bring success to your efforts. Sometimes too easy an aspect will make you over-confident and not appreciate what you are doing, or what you have.
Disagreements are likely with others in your environment, so make decisions and stick to them. Things can easily get blown out of proportion so keep the issues in focus. This is a difficult month for people to meddle in your affairs, gossiping, health, and dealing with the public or matters on the job. Your home and life are out of sync with each other.
Venus
The placement of Venus in the Lunar return chart affects romance and friendship over the coming month.
Venus in 9th house (FOCUS):
Next in line for our Focus is lovely, seductive and beautiful Venus. Wherever Venus is located indicates where love, affection and attention can be found. Look carefully at the aspects to Venus because she can either bring love or try to hold it back. Negative aspects can also try to derail your efforts for health and diet, whereas positive aspects can help to support your efforts. Do not allow negative Venus aspects to knock you off your path to success, instead recognize that they are there, and work with them, instead of against them. Remember, every day, is NOT going to be a holiday.
Long trips, vacations, strange attractions to anything new, exciting and different people than yourself are favored. Love encounters will be with people of difficult backgrounds, from foreign countries or people who are highly developed in spiritual realms. Any conscious expanding experience is favored as well. Reading or visiting museums gives a sense of traveling to different times. Religious ceremonies can provide high spirited thoughts as well. If Venus makes any harsh aspects while in the 9th house, there can be difficulties handling any of the above issues.
Additional 9th house interpretations:
Higher education, philosophy, religion, travel, spirituality, mysticism, journeys of the mind, psychic alignment, sense of humor, opinions, foreign ideas, foreign cultures, law and legal matters, inspiration, publishing, sports, spiritual journeys, wisdom, akashic records, consciousness expansion.Venus trine Pluto:
Encounters open a wider circle of colleagues to you this month and renewed commitments of love can be undertaken. Insights into love can occur that are quite profound and strong attractions to the opposite sex will be felt. Marital relations can find their beginning now, and if at all possible, give flowers to someone special. True love can be found somewhere close by you, and remember that "Love will conquer all" is the theme of this influence. Those of sad heart will be much happier than in the past.
Thus is a time of sexual stimulation which should be quite exciting and there will be a greater tolerance for others and is a virtue which should be exercised at every opportunity. Your social life will pick up and you may have the urge to invite people over for a party. Secret love affairs can easily develop now, and existing relationships will rise to a higher level of understanding.
Mars
The placement of Mars in the Lunar return chart affects your drive, ambition, and vitality during the coming month.
Mars in 5th house:
Next in line is the planet Mars. Mars is considered extremely aggressive and masculine. It shows where you will put tremendous energy and where you will apply that energy by house. Mars is that push that gets you going, gets you off the couch and onto the treadmill. Push too hard however, and you can meet with great resistance from all areas around you, including people, places and things. Applied in the wrong way will bring with it combative situations, arguments, tempers flaring and in some cases accidental behavior. If the Universe tells you to knock off the macho behavior (aspect wise), then take a hint and do so. If the Universe gives you a green light aspect wise, then go for it with your whole heart. Look carefully at the aspects to find out who, or what may be putting obstacles in your path, and act accordingly.
Sex and lovemaking is high on your list of things to do this month. Children may require more than normal attention at this time. Be careful that family members are not neglected. Gambling and speculative ventures are not favored as discipline will be lacking in your life. Sexual jealousy or frustrations are possible, so try to take the "edge" off by engaging in dancing or physical activity. You can be somewhat crude or invite physical harm to yourself now, or on the other hand you may get involved in a sudden and impulsive love relationship.
Additional 5th house interpretations:
Love affairs, speculation, games, creative expression through art, music, dance, theatrics, writing, poetry, songs, stories, athletics, or personal craftsmanship. Creating beauty, courtship, lovemaking, pastimes, concerts, dating, playing with children, parties and leisure activity.
Jupiter
The placement of Jupiter in the Lunar return chart determines in what areas of your life you are likely to have opportunities for growth and expansion during the coming month.
Jupiter in 12th house:
Next in line we have Jupiter, planet of good fortune and expansion. Wherever Jupiter falls it likes to make things bigger, and gives resistance to letting things go back to normal shape, like the human body for instance (especially around the hip area). Whenever Jupiter takes a prominent position in the Lunar or Natal chart, weight will be easy to put on, and remain on, until the influence ends. Then and only then can things go back to normal, whatever normal is.
With Jupiter located here, you will learn a great deal about the inner you through spiritual dimensions of life. Spiritual teachers or friends may enter your life and guide you along the way. Metaphysical interests can begin, or past experiences will give you insights into your future. You might seek a place of refuge and spiritual retreat and seclusion. This is to be considered a wonderful position of Jupiter for learning the art of Meditation. If Jupiter makes a difficult placement while in the 12th house, there is a danger of feeling sorry for yourself and indulge in escapism of your own device.
Additional 12th house interpretations:
Social work, charity, volunteer work, subconscious fear, guilt, resentment, hate, past-life karma, skeletons in the closet, damaging secrets, secret plots, compassion, psychic ability, sensitivity, self-undoing, confinement, imprisonment, religious retreats, subconscious mind, libraries, mental illness, emotional blocks, addictions, secret motives, hidden agendas, suppressed knowledge, secret societies, occult wisdom, hidden meanings, illumination, enlightenment, fantasy, self-deception, hidden enemies, hospitals, institutions, spirituality, unredeemed karma, selfless service, mystical inspiration, and clairvoyant abilities.Jupiter square N. Node:
Wherever Jupiter is placed by house and whatever it touches by aspect tends to benefit, receive good fortune or become larger than when it started, at least positively aspected. This can make dieting very difficult, unless you cut food intake to a system designed to try to expand itself. On the negative side, it can act to prevent good things to come to us. In either case, it will sharply increase your appetite, which is why smaller more healthy meals are suggested.
Be careful of judging people incorrectly, before you have all the facts available. There may be a great deal of confusion around having many partners around you and what your real needs are. This is to be considered an eased time in the process of separating from others or parting ways.
Viewpoints on religious, educational and cultural ideas are out of harmony with the rest of the world and support will be difficult to find from others. Disharmony, lack of social niceties, looking out for oneself, materialistic approaches to helping others, antisocial behavior, craving after the "pleasures" of life, disharmony with groups of people, quarrelsome behavior.
Saturn
The placement of Saturn in the Lunar return chart determines where you will encounter obstacles, difficult lessons, and where discipline will be needed in your life during the coming month.
Saturn in 9th house:
Next up is Saturn. Saturn is the great teacher. Wherever Saturn is located by house, shows where losses, setbacks, depression, maturity, growing up or feeling gloomy can occur. Usually it is present when the time is just not right for an action or activity to occur, for whatever the reason. It is like having a credit card that always comes back "access denied". Sometimes the access is permanent, other times it is temporary in nature.
Past efforts can now begin to bear fruit for your efforts this month. Legal difficulties can arise, or you can be somewhat accident prone during long distance travels. This placement attracts religious, philosophic and metaphysical subjects. It is a wonderful time for mental studies, but be careful of taking on too much of an academic workload.
Contacts with foreigners or people different than you will be somewhat difficult. If Saturn is making a difficult aspect while in the 9th house, there can be difficulties in educational pursuits.
Additional 9th house interpretations:
Higher education, philosophy, religion, travel, spirituality, mysticism, journeys of the mind, psychic alignment, sense of humor, opinions, foreign ideas, foreign cultures, law and legal matters, inspiration, publishing, sports, spiritual journeys, wisdom, akashic records, consciousness expansion.Saturn opposition Neptune:
Now, Saturn brings with it a separate set of circumstances wherever it is by house and aspect. In either case, whether positive or negative aspect, it puts very strong obstacles in your path to be dealt with. It has been noted that every time there is a Saturn transit, everything comes to a screeching halt, with a big sign that seems to suggest "Access Denied!" I have also seen that anytime there is a strong Saturn presence, denying us what we want can also be protecting us from ourselves, possibly by the presence of a more wise and learned energy than ourselves, which is also a characteristic of Saturn. Diet wise, it seems to limit the need to eat, curbs the appetite and allows you to take more control of the food that you eat. On the negative side, it always slows down the digestive process dramatically. The utmost caution should be advised as to what you eat with this energy as constipation, and a bound up digestive system can take on the consistency of cement. A vegetarian diet is ideal with this energy whether transits to natal, lunar return or progression.
Past indiscretions can come back on you, bringing problems. What you did in the past becomes an open book for the world to see, and can be publicly revealed. Boy, talk about tests in what you believe. Your health is very vulnerable to hidden conditions, so take care of yourself. Deceptions are at all time high, so don't let it find you now.
Avoid drinking or smoking because the body will be more vulnerable to them than usual. You've heard the expressions that you are your own worst enemy haven’t you? Well, this is the influence that started it! Work will become very unappealing and avoided, and negativity will be experienced to and from others.
Uranus, Neptune and Pluto
The placement of the 3 outer planets in the Lunar return chart indicates areas in your life that are likely to take surprising twists and turns, where idealism and illusion may enter your life, or where compulsive or extreme situations may arise in your life during the coming month.
Uranus in 3rd house:
Next in line is the planet Uranus, ruler of Aquarius, and just like a true Aquarian, Uranus, is the rebel, the non-conformist, the humanitarian and the unpredictable child. Wherever Uranus is placed by house, all bets are off for a normal existence, replaced by sudden out of the blue and whimsical behavior. No matter what the circumstance this month, it won’t be boring! It is life thrust upon us, not chosen.
Life will pick up this month, and driving should be done with the greatest of care. Unexpected and surprising events involving relatives, education, communications, neighbors and travel can occur, and the mind will race with ideas. If Uranus makes a difficult aspect while in the 3rd house, the manner in which you drive should be watched. Nervous tension is evident, or you become very restless and impractical. Unexpected people and communications are accented at this time.
Additional 3rd house interpretations:
Search for knowledge, short trips, community involvement, relationship to siblings, education, dexterity, curiosity, analytical skills, speaking, writing, phone calls, letters, books, papers, television, radio, data, facts, neighbors, siblings, neighborhood, merchants, trading, travel around town, trips, visits, immediate environment, judgment in making choices, and telepathy.Uranus square Asc.:
Uranus is the original rebel without a cause. It acts independently of reason, and as impulsively. In our everyday humdrum lives it serves to act as notice to everyone that no matter what "you" do or say, the chances are pretty good, I’m not doing it! If I do though, "you" are going to regret the results. This is an unacceptable energy pattern for health and diet, at least try to prevent inflicting too much damage on yourself.
You will find it hard to relate to others this month and people will have a difficult time getting to know the real you. You will find it difficult to take care of other peoples needs or show affection. Friendships are what you need now rather than intimate partners. You will also see that some added stress has entered your life to contend with as well.
Expect upsets and emotional instability to enter your life and the element of surprise and unpredictability will arrive at your door. Your attitude may adopt a very detached characteristic. Relationships are very disruptive this month and sudden separations can occur because you are looking for freedom from oppressive situations. Friends will prove to be very unreliable and you will be very bored with routines. Do not speculate or experiment with the occult this month, as the timing is unfortunate.
Neptune in 3rd house:
One of my favorite planets is Neptune. Among the qualities it loves to bring to the party is illusion, and deception, but also imagination, illumination and inspiration (That covers all the "I" words). Psychic and intuitive aspects can emerge from our subconscious mind now, and can do so in a myriad of ways like music, art, poetry, compassion and humanitarian efforts. Remember to look at Neptune like you are in a very naughty dream that is not real, and is never going to come true. It was great at the time, but has nothing to do with reality.
Communications with kin, neighbors and close family members can become confusing and perhaps somewhat deceptive this month, so speak precisely and realistically as possible under this cloud of confusion. If Neptune makes a difficult aspect while in the 3rd house, dishonesty can be employed in speaking and thinking can become very foggy. Appointments can be missed altogether and communication can be very confusing.
Additional 3rd house interpretations:
Search for knowledge, short trips, community involvement, relationship to siblings, education, dexterity, curiosity, analytical skills, speaking, writing, phone calls, letters, books, papers, television, radio, data, facts, neighbors, siblings, neighborhood, merchants, trading, travel around town, trips, visits, immediate environment, judgment in making choices, and telepathy.Pluto in 1st house (MAJOR FOCUS):
Last in line, but not forgotten we have the planet PLUTO who is the master of digging down beneath the surface of who you are and bringing some very powerful yet subtle changes into your life. Pluto is where your OBSESSIONS can be found this month.
A rebirth of self of some kind is symbolized by this placement of Pluto. Power struggles can be confronted in relationships with others, and basic changes can take place in your environment, disposition and appearance. If Pluto makes a difficult aspect while in the 1st house, you can become extremely headstrong and stubborn.
The Part Of The Body Pluto Rules:
The reproductive organs, bladder, prostate, colon, rectum, the vocal cords, larynx, liver, uterus, menstruation, sweat glands and the endocrine glands. Some health complaints you may have this month are headaches, infections and fevers.Your Metabolic rate this month is:
High. INCREASES THE APPETITE dramatically, making you feel hungry more often. With this much energy present, you should be able to overcome any obstacles before you. Remember to change your routine to keep from getting bored. Because it will be very easy to burn up food that you eat now, make sure to eat smaller and more nutritious meals. If you eat more frequently, say 4 mini-meals a day, your body will thank you for it. Just like a car or plane, the better the fuel that you put in, the better the performance. Avoid heavy food and carbohydrates that can clog the engine and slow you down, stealing your energy. Heavy food can cause you to feel sluggish, resulting in the need to take more breaks and afternoon or evening naps to recharge.Exercise Programs:
Boxing, long-distance running, or any strenuous sport is great. You prefer to be alone when trying to unwind from the stress of the day. The Stairmaster, weight lifting, gymnastics, jogging, or yoga combined with meditation are good for you.Eat:
Asparagus, cauliflower, radishes, onions, tomatoes, black cherries, coconuts, milk, cheese, yogurt, cottage cheese, fresh fruits and vegetables & whole grain bread, fish and seafood, green salads, beets, almonds, walnuts, citrus fruit, berries, apples, bananas and pineapples.Avoid:
Large meals during the day and the evening meal should be light. Drink plenty of water but avoid alcohol which has a negative effect on you, especially now. Crash or odd type diets should be avoided, especially those that allow you to yo yo back and forth. You may have some constipation complaints this month due to incorrect diet.
Interaction of the Lunar Return and Natal Chart
The following influences are based on the relationship of the Lunar return to the natal chart. These influences tend to bring about changes in attitudes and your perspective on life.
Lunar Return Ascendant in Natal 3rd house:
With your Natal 3rd house on the Lunar Ascendant, life will pick up and you can sell your ideas to the world or carry out your ideas into the active state. Communications can be in an aggressive manner that may be regretted at some point. You may have more in common with or work more closely with your partner’s family, relatives and friends or run into relatives or close family members that are looking to quarrel or provoke you. Driving that borderline on daredevil behavior, arguments, defying each other with your actions and words combined with lots of short distance travel highlight this timeframe.
Additional 3rd house influences brought into focus:
Search for knowledge, short trips, community involvement, relationship to siblings, education, dexterity, curiosity, analytical skills, speaking, writing, phone calls, letters, books, papers, television, radio, data, facts, neighbors, siblings, neighborhood, merchants, trading, travel around town, trips, visits, immediate environment, judgment in making choices, and telepathy.Natal Ascendant in Lunar Return 9th house:
With your Natal Ascendant now in the Lunar 9th house, learning about your own identity will be a very important part of your life now. You will encounter the things that help you discover your place as an individual in the greater scheme of things. The 9th house also relates to higher education, long distance and foreign travel and organized religion, and quite probably things of religious importance. Most importantly, it is where you as an individual fit this month.
Additional 9th house interpretations:
Higher education, philosophy, religion, travel, spirituality, mysticism, journeys of the mind, psychic alignment, sense of humor, opinions, foreign ideas, foreign cultures, law and legal matters, inspiration, publishing, sports, spiritual journeys, wisdom, akashic records, consciousness expansion.
