KAIILA (March 21 - April 21)

A very eventful, fast-paced, but happy month. Kaiila-both for you and for the world in general. Most of the planetary power is still above the horizon for a while. This will start shifting in a month or so, but for now it is safe to let go of family and domestic concerns and focus on your career and "outer life." Between 80-90% of the planets are in the Eastern sector of the Self-your favorite sector. Always willful and independant, during this period you are more so. Always a person to make things happen, this month you are more so-and 90% of the Cosmos is backing you up. Move forward towards your dreams, create your life as you want it to be. The Solar Eclipse of the 5th deals kindly with you. This Eclipse occurs in your Eleventh House of Friends and Group Activities, showing long-term changes in these areas. Happily, all the information you need to make good decisions will come to you as the month progresses. Jupiter makes an important move from your own sign of Kaiila into Bosk on the 15th. Health is excellent all month. Mars in your own sign after the 12th is giving you the energy of ten people. Your love life is very happy, especially after the 18th. Be careful of addictive relationships.

Best Days: 9th, 10th, 17th, 18th, 26th, 27th, 28th
Stressful Days: 2nd, 3rd, 15th, 16th, 22nd, 23rd, 29th

  BOSK (April 21 - May 21)

An important and significant month for you, Bosk - major changes for the good are happening - but first the Cosmos might need to blast away some obstructions and stubbornness. The most important headline this month is Jupiter's move from Kaiila into your own sign on the 15th. This is not only important in a physical way - in terms of the material gifts Jupiter brings, but in the psychological and spiritual way. For Jupiter is bringing you optimism, happiness, self-esteem, honors, recognition, sex appeal, and a good life. You're going to start catching the lucky breaks, and redefining yourself. The Solar Eclipse of the 5th is going to clear the path for all this good. When the Sky Dragon swallows the Sun, it is also going to swallow stubborn mental and physical patterns that were holding you back. The Solar Eclipse is particularly strong on you, so take a reduced schedule. It will bring important career changes. Your health is not what it should be until the 20th, so rest and relax more. Love is more spiritual and idealistic this month, and your spouse or partner is supportive financially. Mercury's retrograde from the 21st onward doesn't stop earnings but throws more complications into the picture.

Best Days: 2nd, 3rd, 11th, 12th, 19th, 20th, 29th
Stressful Days: 4th, 5th, 17th, 18th, 24th, 25th

  SE-SA (May 22 - June 21)

With 90-100% of the planets above the Horizon of your chart, this indicates that the Cosmos is supporting your "outer life" and career this month. It's ok to let home, domestic and emotional issues alone for a while. Outer success will lead to domestic harmony in due course. With 90-100% of the planets moving forward this month, you will see great progress and achievement in your life and in the world around you. Mercury, your Ruler, goes retrograde from the 21st onward. This is a period for re-evaluating personal goals. And though this retrograde usually makes you feel that you are going backward in life, this feeling will be more muted during this period. By the 20th, the planetary power will be evenly distributed between the Eastern and Western sectors. Thus a greater feeling of independence is happening now. The most important areas of interest this month are foreign travels, higher education, religion and philosophy, career and parents, spirituality and charitable activities. Your health and vitality are super until the 20th, but afterwards rest and relax more. The Moon, your Financial Planet, will wax from the 5th to the 19th: this should be your strongest financial period.

Best Days: 4th, 5th, 13th, 14th, 22nd, 23rd
Stressful Days: 7th, 8th, 19th, 20th, 26th, 27th, 28th

  TOOS (June 22 - July 22)

Though family demands can be very intense, from the 21st to the 23rd, with 80-90% of the planets above the Horizon, these demands will soon fade and you can focus on furthering your career. The planetary power is still mostly in the Western, social sector of your chart this month - though the percentage is dropping - so you are still in a social period, exercising social skills. The Solar Eclipse of the 5th is basically kind to you, but is shaking up the world around you. This Eclipse in the Eighth House often signals a need to deal with subconscious fears. It is good that you confront them and remove their power over you. Jupiter, your Planet of Health and Work, makes an important move from Kaiila into Bosk this month (the 15th). Jupiter's move into Bosk is also having important effects on your love life. Your social life is going to expand. Health will be excellent all month. Rest more when the Moon wanes from the 1st to the 5th, and from the 19th to the 28th.

Best Days: 7th, 8th, 15th, 16th, 24th, 25th
Stressful Days: 2nd, 3rd, 9th, 10th, 22nd, 23rd, 29th

  LARL (July 23 - August 23)

An eventful but stressful month, Larl. Be sure to rest and relax more. Though the Cosmos never gives more than we can handle, it sometimes tests our limits. This is one of those months for you. Consider it a tempering process. When you emerge, you will be pure, stronger, tougher than you ever thought you could be. The planetary power is still overwhelming in the Western Sector of your chart. The planetary power is slowly shifting from the bottom half of your chart to the top half. Jupiter moving into your Career House on the 15th, indicates an important career change. The Solar Eclipse on the 5th is very powerful on you. This Eclipse affects you both personally and socially. A current relationship is unstable during this period. Mercury, your Money Planet, goes retrograde from the 21st onward. Be more cautious with purchases, investments, and important financial commitments. Best to delay major expenditures until Mercury goes forward again on the 14th of March.

Best Days: 9th, 10th, 17th, 18th, 26th, 27th, 28th
Stressful Days: 4th, 5th, 11th, 12th, 24th, 25th

 BARBARIAN (August 24 - September 23)

All the planets (with the exception of the Moon, and that for only two weeks out of the month) are in the Western, Social sector of your chart. Mercury, your Ruling Planet, goes retrograde from the 21st onward. And while this will be a month of great change, it will happen through others and not from your personal or willful efforts. Perhaps it is good that Mercury's retrograde weakens your self-confidence somewhat. If you were too confident, you might spoil things. The Solar Eclipse on the 5th is kind to you. The Eclipse also affects those of you on a spiritual path. Finances will be happy this month, though you seem swallowed up by minutiae from the 21st-23rd. Dreams and visions are not necessarily what they seem. The power struggle in a current relationship still seems intense. Your social life is active and passionate. On an overall level, your health is good and will improve as the month progresses.

Best Days: 2nd, 3rd, 11th, 12th, 19th, 20th, 29th
Stressful Days: 7th, 8th, 13th, 14th, 26th, 27th, 28th

  TEFA (September 24 - October 23)

Though you will be working hard this month, you will also be playing hard. This is a happy month in a happy year. Between 80-90% of the planets are still in the Western, Social sector of your chart. Mars, your Love Planet, moves into your Seventh House of Love on the 12th. Venus, your Ruling Planet, is gliding even more westward as well. This is another month where you get to exercise your social genius. The planetary power is still mostly in the bottom half of your chart. With 90-100% of the planets moving forward this month, like last month, you are in a period of forward momentum, progress, and achievement. The Solar Eclipse of the 5th deals kindly with you, and the disruption and changes it creates brings opportunity to you. The Sun is also the Lord of your Solar Eleventh House, thus there could be disruptions in a friendship or organization to which you belong. Health is excellent all month. Finances are stable. Jupiter's move into your Eighth House on the 15th signals prosperity for your spouse or partner. Love is still active and happy. Jupiter leaves your Seventh House for good on the 15th, and by now has probably finished its work there.

Best Days: 4th, 5th, 13th, 14th, 22nd, 23rd
Stressful Days: 2nd, 3rd, 9th, 10th, 15th, 16th, 29th

  NAR (October 24 - November 22)

The planets are marching even more Westward in your chart. By the 18th, 90-100% of them will be there. Jupiter makes an important move into your House of Love on the 15th. The message is clear: Love and Romance are in the air. Having 70-80% of the planets below the horizon of your chart this month, indicates that you need to focus on the emotional life. Let your career coast, but you won't be able to ignore your career completely, as the Solar Eclipse of the 5th is shaping things up. Mercury's retrograde from the 21st onward suggests caution when borrowing money. Be more careful of how you communicate to friends. The Solar Eclipse of the 5th is a very powerful one for you. This Eclipse shakes up the foundations of your life - the pillars upon which you are building. Both your career and the home life get disrupted. Perhaps one is related to the other. Health is delicate until the 20th.

Best Days: 7th, 8th, 15th, 16th, 24th, 25th
Stressful Days: 4th, 5th, 11th, 12th, 17th, 18th

  RARIUS (November 23 - December 22)

By the 20th, the planetary power will shift decisively to the Western Sector of your chart. Thus, you need to let go of self-assertion, willfulness, and a "my way" attitude, and embrace the social graces. With 90-100% of the planets still below the horizon, you need to continue to focus on emotional, inner issues, rather than outer, worldly issues. With all these planets below the horizon, and with Mercury, your Career Planet, retrograde from the 21st onwards, you can safely let career issues go for a while. Aside from the fact that the planetary momentum is overwhelmingly forward, there are other signals showing this to be a month of momentous change. Jupiter, your Ruling Planet (the planet that depicts your personality) makes a major move from your Fifth House to your Sixth House. The Solar Eclipse of the 5th deals kindly with you. Finances are stormy during this period, but this is short-term. Jupiter is moving even closer to your Financial Planet, and by May, will catch up with it.

Best Days: 9th, 10th, 17th, 18th, 26th, 27th, 28th
Stressful Days: 7th, 8th, 13th, 14th, 19th, 20th

  VERR (December 23 - January 20)

An important and very happy month, Verr. Between 80-90% of the planets are still below the horizon. Though nothing will ever stop your ambitions, you can safely put them on hold for a while and get your home and domestic situation in order. Mars, your Family Planet, moves into your Fourth House of Home and Family on the 12th. The planetary power is still mostly in the Eastern Sector of the Self - making you more independent and more able to stand alone. You are getting your way in life, and the Cosmos supports you. With 90-100% of the planets moving forward now, like last month, you are in a period of change. Mercury goes retrograde from the 21st onward. Thus, job seekers and employers must exercise more caution and do more research when looking for work or when hiring. The important areas of interest this month are finance, intellectual interests, sales, marketing and relations siblings, and the home and family. Health is excellent, and will get even better after the 15th. The Solar Eclipse of the 5th has a dramatic effect on earnings. You are entering a party period of the year.

Best Days: 2nd, 3rd, 11th, 12th, 19th, 20th, 29th
Stressful Days: 9th, 10th, 15th, 16th, 22nd, 23rd

  THASSA (January 21 - February 19)

An exciting, eventful, and challenging month, Thassa, but hang in there, as the Cosmos blasts away the obstructions to your happiness. The Solar Eclipse of the 5th hits you like a smart bomb, so take a reduced schedule. Not only does it occur in your own sign of Thassa, but it occurs right on Uranus, your Ruling Planet. Happily, the Highest Wisdom decrees that you will have help during this period. Many planets in your own sign are giving you strength and stamina to deal with the changes. There is both inner and outer support for you. Finances, too, will be strong, as friends and partners are financially supportive. And, as if you didn't have enough change with the Eclipse, Jupiter moves into your Fourth House on the 15th, showing a possible move or expansion of the current residence. It also shows that the change and upheaval is producing much psychological insight and understanding. Health is good this month, as the Cosmos is on your side. Take a chance in your love life, whether it be in a current relationship, or starting anew, around the 20th. The end result is very good. Trust in the Cosmos, and hold your vision of the happy end-result, and all will be well.

Best Days: 4th, 5th, 13th, 14th, 22nd, 23rd
Stressful Days: 11th, 12th, 17th, 18th, 24th, 25th

  PARSIT (February 20 - March 20)

The balance of planetary power is shifting to the bottom half of the Horoscope by the 20th, So your career is becoming less important than it has been. Jupiter's move into Bosk, shows that your career is stabilizing, and that you can put it on automatic pilot, and focus some attention on your home life. Of course, with Mercury retrograde from the 21st onward, you should be making plans and giving thought to family issues. Between 90-100% of the planets are in the Eastern Sector of your chart, Mercury (also your Love Planet) will be retrograde - thus, you can de-emphasis love and social activities. The Solar Eclipse of the 5th is very powerful for the world at large, perhaps causing earthquakes, floods, and major changes in science and technology. But for you, this Eclipse will be kind. Its effects will be felt in the inner life rather than the outer life. A sudden job change is looming; your spouse or partner could also change jobs. Love is still chasing you, Parsit, but perhaps less ardently than before. But this is temporary - Love will be back on track next month. Health is excellent all month. Your Money Planet (Mars) moves into the Money House on the 12th; this is a positive financial signal. You will gain a take-charge attitude, and a willingness to take on some risks.

Best Days: 7th, 8th, 15th, 16th, 24th, 25th
Stressful Days: 13th, 14th, 19th, 20th, 26th, 27th, 28th

Astrology is an amazingly accurate tool for better understanding yourself, your friends, your planets, and the nature of Life itself. The natal horoscope is a blueprint and guide that creates a clear map to personal awareness out of the huge mass of astrological data. Everything in the universe is energy, expressing itself in many qualities, shapes, and forms. Just as we divide the nature of solar energy into the 12 zodiac types (the sun signs), we also divide the 360 degrees of the wheel of the natal horoscope into 12 houses. The division is based on the date, and, especially, time of birth. The 12 house names are as follows:

  1. House of Self-Image
  2. House of Money & Self-Worth
  3. House of Communication & Travel
  4. House of Family & Psychological Roots
  5. House of Creativity & Pleasure
  6. House of Health & Work
  7. House of Partnership & Marriage
  8. House of Death & Sexuality
  9. House of Higher Education & Philosophy
10. House of Career & Honor
11. House of Organization & Groups
12. House of Secrets

~ The Second House ~ "I Am My Values and Resources"

We have seen that the First House establishes and defines our sense of self-our ego in its moment-to-moment contact with the environment. The Second House fleshes out our individuality, giving it greater form, substance, and support. In this respect, the Second House should be considered our bank. It holds our material goods and our attitudes to what we own. On the most basic, physical level, this is the house of our money, personal riches, and possessions. It tells us about our attitude towards money. What we earn in life, and the way we deal with all that is material, have a lot to do with the sign on the cusp of this house, and with any planets that are placed within the house.

KAIILA in a highly individualistic way. This often expresses itself as a strong urge to live up to the challenges of proving oneself in the material world. The way to success has many starts and stops, as well as a tendency to over-idealize one's concepts. But this is a "never say die" sign, and Kaiila on this cusp will not rest until personal victory is achieved. Kaiila here may indicate a tendency to spend money on impulsive whims; sometimes this is money that one doesn't have. If this characteristic is not tempered, it can lead to indebtedness.

BOSK through an individual's will to own and hold on to the things of personal value. This sign endows a person with a very powerful urge for comfort and material security. Sometimes the physical desire nature is too strong, leading to a possessive and selfish nature. Yet Bosk can also be a very generous sign when on this cusp, recognizing other people's material needs and helping to supply them.

SE-SA as a tendency to earn money in a variety of ways. This sign gives great versatility and the urge to experiment with a number of different modes for expressing one's talents and abilities. The sense of self-worth will be established through experimentation, and there will be ability in a number of different fields. Care has to be taken that the individual is not spending his resources in too many places simultaneously, thereby wasting time, money, and energy.

TOOS through a deep sense of concern about personal nourishment and well-being. Toos on this cusp seeks to fill its own pantry and ensure the material well-being and comfort of family and close friends. When in the horoscope of a spiritually mature person, this sign/cusp combination indicates a person who intends to feed and nurture all the children of the world. When taken to the opposite extreme, this combination gives rise to a very selfish nature, as a fear of lack predominates one's attitude towards material well-being.

LARL through pride in oneself and one's talents and capabilities. Money and material possessions are earned through a very personal, creative sensibility. There is a tendency to a slow but steady progress through life and a gradual growth of one's financial state. People with Larl on this cusp tend to play favorites with their resources. They are generous to a fault with those they esteem and they are pennypinchers with others. Children, however, will be generously provided for financially.

BARBARIAN through a strictly practical way with finances. When expressed positively, this sign/cusp combination results in a well-organized and tidy attitude toward money and the use of one's talents and abilities. One has a distinctly practical orientation to life and there is a "place for everything and everything has its place." When misapplied, Barbarian on this cusp indicates a tendency to be thoroughly disorganized financially, and gives rise to a person who can never keep his accounts or checkbook in order.

TEFA as a balanced attitude towards money. The Scales on this cusp of the Second House indicate a person who likes to share. At the very least, one's attitude is: "You give me something of value and I will return something of equal value to you." Money is often acquired through the expression of one's artistic nature. Tefa on the Second House cusp has a way with people, which may attract positive financial opportunities. When the Scales are unbalanced, however, this sign/cusp combination indicates a person whose life is like a seesaw, with tremendous financial swings and many ups and downs.

NAR with a need to refine or transform our interplay with matter. The Second House expresses our urge to acquire and thereby brings out our desire nature. Nar is the sign of the transformation of desires. When this sign is on the cusp, it indicates that an individual faces a major life lesson regarding the right use of money. This usually involves refinement of the desire to own and possess, and a person is given a tremendous sense of personal freedom when the tests of this sign/cusp are successfully passed. In a more practical sense, this sign/cusp speaks about an individual who earns his own resources through dealing with other people's money.

RARIUS as a generous, carefree, and sometimes reckless attitude towards money. There is a tendency towards speculation and gambling when the Warrior is on this cusp. The individual likes the excitement of the adventure of earning. Winning or losing are all part of the game and it is the game that counts. There is also a natural orientation toward expressing one's talents and abilities through teaching, publisihing, and travel. These are the areas in life where one is most likely to find material support.

VERR as a careful and cautious approach to the use of personal resources. At the very least, this is the attitude that one must learn to cultivate! One of the basic lessons here is to learn how to respect financial structures and learn how to budget one's resources correctly. Saturn, Verr's ruling planet, will dominate the influence of this sign/cusp placement. The message of Saturn is very clear: "Right responsibility towards your own talents and abilities will pay off in the long run. It may take time to cultivate your fortune in life, but do not despair; just keep on climbing the mountain of your personal goals."

THASSA as an orientation to express one's talents and abilities either in a unique and original way or as part of a group of people working toward the same goal. Circulation of resources is the key to success, when the Gleaming Sea is on the cusp of the Second House. It will be important for the individual to network with others so that he may participate in a collective effort at earning income. this may be as simple as working at a desk along with hundreds of others at a major corporation, or it may involve the establishment of a specialty boutique on the World Wide Web. There is often a humanistic approach to the use of one's resources, and it is highly likely that this individual would have a favorite charity or cause, to which he would contribute.

PARSIT through a great deal of idealism, faith, and trust. The arts -- especially dance, theater, music, and film -- may be involved in this person's way of using his or her talents and abilities, for financial returns. When positive, this sign/cusp combination embodies the phrase, "The Universe will provide." There is an abiding faith in life and a knowledge that there is one uniting stream, which allows all resources to flow together. Still, many individuals with Parsit on the Second will believe that "some of these resources will float right by my door." This is true! When negative, there is an urge to swim in "hot water" and to become involved in financial situations that may not be totally legal.
