The Moon’s North Node (an abstract point) is in the money house until April 29. This shows a sense of fulfilment of finances. It also tends towards ‘excess’. Perhaps your problem has too much money (a nice problem to have)! The current spouse, partner or love interest could be getting the opposite problem. His or her money house contains the Moon’s South Node – this gives a feeling of ‘deficiency’. Thus, even if he or she is prospering, there is still this feeling of ‘not enough’.
Jupiter spends most of the year in your 3rd house of communication and intellectual interests. This will broaden your mind and knowledge base. From a financial perspective it shows ‘wealth ideas’ – intellectual wealth. Intellectual property you owns increases in value. It shows earnings from trading activities – buying or selling. Many of you will be having a new car and communication equipment – and good ones.
On October 11 Jupiter will enter your 4th house. This brings valuable financial support from the family, as we mentioned above. It indicates the prosperity and generosity of a parent or parent figure, and it often appears in a new and larger home and the fortunate sale or purchase of a home. This aspect favours earnings from residential real estate, restaurants and the food business. Psychological therapists should be under a decent year.
There are many short-term fiscal trends that can’t be discussed here. We will address them in the monthly reports. Mercury, your financial planet, is a fast moving planet – only the Moon moves faster than him. He will move through your entire chart in the course of a year. Thus money and financial opportunity can, now come to you in a variety of ways and through a variety of people and places. It all depends where Mercury is at any given time and the kinds of aspects he receives. When it now comes to finance, you’re very flexible and changeable. You want to get a lot of irons in the fire.
Mercury in general favours trading (which is lovely this year) and the use of intellectual property. He will move backwards four times this year – usually he only does this three times. So, more than usual study and homework are mandatory this year. (This was true last year too.)
Mercury will be retrograde from January 1 to January 8; April 9 to May 3; August 11 to September 5; and from December 3 to December 23. These are sold in to avoid major purchases or investments. Instead, use these times to review your finances to see where improvements can be achieved. These are occasions for getting mentally clear about your finances. Once this happens, decisions and plans will be to be welcomed that.
This year career is no longer part of a major issue. Your 10th house of career is basically blank, with only short-term planets moving through there. So, this is not an especially brilliant career year. Home and family (especially after October 11) is much more important. Take advantage of the lull, Leo. In the next two years Uranus will move into your career house and will stay there for several years: then the career will be supposed to be very busy and full of change and excitement.
Your career planet, Venus, like your financial planet, is very fast-moving, and will move through your entire chart in any given year. So there are various short-term career tendencies that are best discussed in the periodic reports.
