Transiting Saturn Sextile Natal Pluto Saturn in challenging aspect to Pluto can be quite perplexing because Pluto deals with leaving something behind and then starting something new. Saturn, however, dislikes change. Pluto brings regeneration and transformation, and Saturn is quite content leaving things as they are as it prefers the tried, tested and true. Saturn is up to the challenge and when we have a Sextile from Saturn to Pluto there is an opportunity to push through adversity, adjust where necessary and grow through learning. Check the placement of natal Pluto by sign and house position for further details. Saturn may resist change and does not like transformation unless this change prepares you to become stronger, well-learned because of the experience and builds a more solid foundation. If this is the case, Saturn helps you power your way through this aspect. Saturn is the teacher and Pluto puts up a fight to bring transformation and will not bend to the pressures of life’s demands, unless life’s demands push you in a direction that down the road you will be in a better place and you will have grown and learned valuable lessons in the process. This is an opportunity to move ahead in life learning from any adversity that might be in place. There might be some power struggles, especially with those in positions of authority that might not agree with your plans, but over time, you are able to sway them by proving that your ideas are beneficial. You will have to prove yourself and explain why this might be a better way forward, but it will be worth the effort if you know your place. Be diplomatic and sensible as you present your case. You are dealing with those in authority, and you must remember this. Transiting Saturn sextile natal Pluto is a powerful aspect providing opportunity to restructure your life. Put in the effort, prove yourself and build a better tomorrow.

LIFE AT A DISCOUNTED RATE As the old story goes, “you get what you paid for”. If you are living life at a discounted rate, consider yourself lucky. Most of us pay (balance of give and take) for what we enjoy in life either by retribution or through acts of kindness. At some point, we get what we deserve. Living life to the fullest means that you are enjoying what life offers and sharing it with others either by direct contact or through gifts of kindness, caring, compassion, love and forgiveness. Balance is always reached eventually. Although you may feel that life has been unfair to you thus far, perhaps you need to have a closer look and pay attention to what you have and not to what is missing. In some cases, however, there are those living with hatred and deceit. Balance never seems to fall into place. Some suffer silently from recent experiences or from experiences from childhood. We likely will never know what has taken place with some individuals. Until we walk a mile in someone else’s shoes, we have no concept of why they are who they are today. Balance or justice on some level will be served. Fairness is always in place even when we, as mortals, cannot perceive it. There is so much going on in life beneath the surface that we do not and cannot understand. Justice will be served, balance will be reached, but we may not understand it. Do not waste life searching for retribution because by doing so we are allowing an event or experience to live in our head and it is us who are paying the rent. Karma does not need our help. To seek revenge, perhaps by that shear desire for it, is actually affecting us in a negative way. If we are waiting for life to bend to our wants because we believe we deserve it, we may be paying a high price for those expectations. Don’t waste the opportunity to live by waiting for something to happen. We are only allowing that event to rob us of truly living. Events do not define us. Our response to events, especially attitude and focus, gives us our quality of life. Are we living life at a discounted rate or are we paying far too much to just exist and missing the enjoyment of living? How we relate to ourselves has a huge impact on how we live our lives under current circumstances.

LEO NEW MOON SOLAR ECLIPSE 2026 Today, August 12, 2026, we will be experiencing a Leo New Moon Solar Eclipse. It crosses Greenland, Iceland and Spain and those of us in Canada or the USA will experience a partial view. It is closest to the South Node, rather than the North Node, out by about 9° in the same sign (Leo). Those with planets or angles in the fixed signs (Aquarius, Taurus, Scorpio and Leo) within a 3° orb of influence, so 17 to 23 ° of these signs will be the most affected by this major celestial event. A Solar Eclipse closer to the South Node than the North Node often makes things quite challenging and pushes you to let go of something that is holding you back. Without letting go and ending conditions, something new, which is what is being called for, may never materialize. Because this is in the sign of Leo at 20°, it has to do with leadership, individuality and/or any creative endeavors you might be involved in, especially anything that might put you in the limelight or draw attention to you. It will be a time of new beginnings. For a new beginning to take hold, we must let go of something old and outdated. This creates an ending of sorts before we can begin anew. The effects of this Solar Eclipse will have a lasting impact on those effected. The energies can last up to one year. Astrologers believe that the time the eclipse lasts in hours is equal to the years it will be affecting your life. Most certainly, however, the first six months are of most importance and have profound effects based on the planets being impacted and the houses involved in the chart. It is time, as with all Leo individuals, to be your true self and if by chance you have been overly busy in the past, you might want to take some time off and enjoy life a little. Take a holiday from your obligations, have some fun, and take a break. If you don’t do this, you might feel very drained and worn out. This eclipse can take a lot of energy out of you as you merge into what is unfolding in your life. Most eclipses are not an easy adjustment and the Conjunction, which is the most powerful, would involve planets in Leo in the degrees indicated, creating a merging of energies depending on what the planets involved might be. Conjunctions are very powerful, followed by the Opposition. With the opposition, this would involve planets in Aquarius and the Opposition suggests that others seem to be orchestrating what is unfolding--an end of conditions so something new can begin. The Squares from Taurus and Scorpio create tension which is challenging enough that it forces you to act to alleviate these conditions. However, do not fear what is taking hold in life due to these powerful energies in place as they are the harbingers of endings creating what is needed for something new to be put in place in your life. With the Leo New Moon Solar Eclipse letting go and forgiveness, if this is necessary, are prime action for now and serve as a viable solution to any challenges that might be in place during this period.

Venus' aspects relate to relationships, finance and shared experiences. Aspects to Venus We are working on this page and will be adding more Venus aspects in the future. Venus is the planet representing love and material rewards. It rules Taurus and Libra. Venus is associated with the Second House and the Seventh House. Venus is a beneficial and benevolent planet. Where Venus is found in our charts is where we will find grace of style, beauty and love. The transit of Venus is quite short lived and will only last a couple of days unless there is a retrograde influence. SPECIFIC ASPECTS Venus, a fast-moving inner planet, moves through the complete Zodiac in approximately one year. Transiting Venus moves so quickly through the Zodiac that its influence is not of great influence, only lasting a couple of days, except when it goes into retrograde. During retrograde (because it stays in retrograde for longer) Venus can have an influence on your social life, love and romance, and in some cases, your financial state for up to and including approximately one month. During the retrograde cycle, it is a time of reflection and review with these areas in your life, holding back any type of action until Venus goes direct again. Venus stays in retrograde from about 40 days. It is important to realize that Venus in retrograde will only impact a planet when it is within 3° of being direct. Because of Venus’ quick movement we do not write articles for Transiting Venus. We invite you to investigate the Transiting aspects of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto to Natal Venus however. These outer transiting planets can have a profound impact on Natal Venus, which lasts as much as three years. For your convenience, we have duplicated the outer transiting planets influence on Natal Mercury and have listed them below.

The Sun The Sun The Sun is the core to our identity. It is the principal and dominant part of who we are. The house placement and Sun sign determine who we are and our life’s purpose at least in part. The ascendant also has its part in this along with the North Node and its sign and house placement. The Sun helps us define our life’s purpose and is our creative life force that pushes us on our intended path. The Sun is the will to live and is also linked to our vitality. If it is well aspected in the birth chart, this will go a long way in offering a healthy and long life. The Sun is the driving force behind our personality and is depictive of the internal individual seeking to follow a life path, represented by the sign and house. The Sun along with Mercury helps us reason and they are linked together forming the conscious mind. There is a lot linked to determining our actions through the mental process and the Sun helps us determine what course of action to take. Along with Mercury it describes our final decisions and the conscious efforts that come to pass in finding and uncovering which road we should take. The Sun describes us. It is our basic identity and although it can be filtered by an emphasis in our chart (such as Sun in Capricorn and five planets in the fifth house or in the sign of Leo ) it will still resonate with who we are internally and our true identity remains intact even with strong placements within the birth chart. It could be defined as your best self, the one who resides within but also the one you are becoming. Properly directed and used in its most positive affirmative actions, the Sun is focused and determined and very self-directed. It is linked to the ego and when well-adjusted will provide us with internal fortitude and self-confidence to take us almost anywhere. When the Sun is poorly aspected and out of alignment (poor aspects do not signify a negative response, only challenges put in place for us to conquer) it can make us willful in a detrimental manner, extremely self-centred and condemnatory when judging others, seeking out their faults and weaknesses. The Sun is our driving force, our vital energy and is directly linked to our deeper purpose and part of the reason we have arrived into this incarnation. Seek out the positive and affirmative actions that are depictive of the Sun sign and along with the North Node find your purpose and the push behind your incarnation to create a core and central figure that you will totally resonate with on every level. Astrology 101 The Sun representing the inner self. It is naturally ruled by Leo and the Fifth house . The Moon Mercury Venus Mars Jupiter Saturn Uranus Neptune Pluto

Saturn Retrograde Saturn Retrograde Saturn has a 28 year cycle and remains in each zodiac sign for approximately 2 and ½ years. During its cycle, Saturn moves into retrograde on a regular basis and about 15 degrees of each astrological sign experiences the retrograde motion of Saturn. To show the contrast of the energies of a retrograde planet, we will look at Jupiter. Jupiter often brings good luck and expansion in its direct motion but when in retrograde motion as discussed in Jupiter Retrograde , its energies are similar to Saturn while it is in direct motion. Saturn’s energies in direct motion are restrictive. Its energies are challenging and can make life difficult. Saturn is known as the teacher and disciplinarian of the Zodiac. On the other hand, Saturn’s retrograde energies work similar to Jupiter’s energies when in direct motion. As a result, the extreme energies apparent with Saturn in its direct motion become somewhat softened. Saturn direct normally deals with past issues but while in retrograde, it can and will open doors to new things that somehow we may feel familiar with, even though they are new to us. Some Astrologers link Saturn with diseases that have longevity and the duration of their affects are sometimes lengthened due to the influence of Saturn. When Saturn is retrograde in motion, any recovery process with these ailments may become sped up and often the individuals that are involved feel more carefree and worry-less about these conditions in their lives. This is beneficial as any focus or concentration can enhance illness and draw even more energy into these areas. In many cases, disease can stem from adverse reactions to life’s events and it is wise not to allow obstructions or hard lessons to become personal or to own them. This free flow attitude can provide us with ease of moving beyond these experiences. Saturn is often linked to business in some way including searching out a new career, entering into a study program or beginning a new business. During the course of transiting Saturn turning retrograde, it is wise not to enter into any news enterprises or business dealings. It is best to wait for Saturn to turn direct before moving forward in business related activities, even if you may feel somewhat positive about the outcome. Utilize this retrograde time to review your plans and make sure you are ready to move ahead. When Saturn turns direct (even though things might stagnate for a little while or be slowed down) another planet in transit will come along to start the process of moving forward. Check to see which house Saturn is transiting through in your birth chart as this will provide you with some specifics. Also check to see which house natal (birth) Saturn occupies. These houses will both be areas of life affected by the retrograde motion of Saturn. When Saturn is direct in its motion, these areas will be avenues you can move ahead in although it is wise to take things slowly as you move forward. Saturn insists on structure and a solid foundation. If Saturn is poorly aspected in your birth chart, the house where it is situated in may require additional hard work and a conscious effort to resolve any issues related to that area of life. Since Saturn often points towards a dominant individual in your life (sometimes the most restrictive and strict parent or an authority figure in our life), Saturn retrograde in the birth (natal) chart has been associated with that particular individual somehow missing in your life. The most authoritarian parent could be away often perhaps on business or actually missing from your life in early childhood. Wherever Saturn is found in a chart, whether it is in retrograde motion or direct motion, this is often an area of life that requires more work and challenging conditions to overcome. However, it should be pointed out that Saturn is the educator as well as the disciplinarian in the chart, so it also rewards hard work and diligent efforts.
