KAIILA (March 21 - April 21)

Though retrograde activity increases during this period, most of the planets are still moving forward. Add to this a dominance of the Earth elements and you get a sense of progress and achievement, albeit more slowly and at a more cautious pace than over the last few months. You might chomp at the bit at all the slow coaches around you - who seem to have no vision possibilities but can see only what's in front of them. They are concerned with practical, bottom-line issues - in many cases, irrelevent details - which only slow you down. Be patient, this is the astrological weather. The planets are firmly in the East, Kaiila, so continue to create the life that you dream about - only do it more slowly. Most of the planets are still below the Horizon of your chart, showing that inner growth is more important than overt, outer growth. Inner progress always manifests outwardly in due corse. this is the nature of the universe. Health is still super this month, though you are less hotblooded than you were last month. You are a much more mellow person these days. Love tends to be practical and materialistic most of the month. Love is expressed physically and sensuously. Communication and the sharing of ideas with the beloved becomes unusually important. This is a banner financial month. Mant important changes are going on - some perhaps like earthquakes. But the end result is good. The new moon on the 4th is going to clarify your next step and teach you how to deal with upheavals.

Best Days: 1st, 2nd, 9th, 10th, 18th, 19th, 20th, 28th, 29th
Stressful Days: 7th, 8th, 14th, 15th, 21st, 22nd

  BOSK (April 21 - May 21)

A very happy, powerful and ultra-prosperous month. Enjoy. Most of the planets are in the East now, and your own Sign of Bosk contains most of them. Also, 60% of the planetary pwoer is moving through your Sign - at one time or another - this month. You are certainly feeling your oats. You have the strength of 10 and achieve your goals very easily. Even the increase in retrograde activity will have little impact on you now. You can have things your own way and create the life you desire to create. All this power in your own Sign is certainly improving your health. You look and feel great. Sensual pleasures - some you might not of known about or thought about - are comming to you in great abundance. Health problems of the past will tent to disappear now. The planets have now shifted to the bottom half of your Horoscope, so that career activities, though important, are becoming temporarily less so. There is a need for emotional harmony and inner growth to match the tremendous outer growth going on in your life. The main challenge this month is balancing your desires fir the good life - your personal desires - with your career obligations and ambitions. Earnings are soaring this month. Whatever you touch turns to gold. The Jupiter--Saturn conjunction - which denotes a major business cycle in the world - occurs in your own Sign. Love is stormy towards the end of month - your focus on money and perhaps financial issues is the problem. This is short term.

Best Days: 3rd, 4th, 12th. 13th, 21st, 22nd, 31st
Stressful Days: 9th, 10th, 16th, 17th, 24th, 25th

  SE-SA (May 22 - June 21)

This is a great month in a great year, and you still have not peaked. The best is yet to come. Retrograde activity increases this month but doesn't really obstruct your good or your overall happiness. You will feel the effect of the retrogrades (30 percent of the planets) in work and career issues, but not in your personal or love life. The planets are very much in the Eastern sector of your chart now. By the 20th, your own Sign of Se-Sa and your First House will be an important House of Power. Mars will move into Se-Sa on the 3rd. Thus you are in a period of self-assertion and self-will. You can and will have things your way. With all this power available to you, it might be a good idea to spend the early part of the month in meditation and contemplation. There is a need to review the past year and set goals for the future. Honest introspection brings clarity, and clarity will produce better and more realistic goals. Health is super this month. Your athletic performance is enhanced; you get things done very fast. You are more impulsive than usual. Libido is very powerful now, and sex appeal radiates from every pore. Important love developments are happening this month, as Jupiter and Saturn make a once-in-20-year conjunction in your 12th house. Important, long-term social relationships are being formed. Singles are likely to meet the man/woman of their dreams. FInances are strong all month as well. You are spending more on yourself and your image - adopting the image of wealth during this period. This should help you manifest actual wealth more easily. Your important areas of interest this month are religion, higher education, foreign travel and personal philosophy, spirituality and charity, and the body, image and personal pleasure and fulfilment.

Best Days: 5th, 6th, 14th, 15th, 24th, 25th
Stressful Days: 12th, 13th, 18th, 19th, 20th, 26th, 27th

  TOOS (June 22 - July 22)

The lack of the Water element this month makes others insensitive and out of touch with their (and others') feelings. To you, they could seem cruel, but bear with it as it is not cruelty but lack of awareness. The planetary power is still firmly in the East, and you have unusual independence, self-reliance, and the ability to have things your way. Important social developments are happening, but sticking to your own position and creating your life as you want it will not interfere with them - in fact this will enhance your social life. Most of the planetary power is above the Horizon of your chart - as it has been for the past few months. Continue to de-emphasize family and domestic issues and focus on career. A successful career can enhance family life in other ways. Health is basically good all month, but energy and self-confidence will be higher when the Moon waxes from the 4th to the 18th. Try to schedule your most demanding projects then. Finances are strong, but stormy and volatile early in the month. There is a dramatic improvement after the 20th. Volatility will enhance your income. Singles meet significant others this month, and the Love Planet makes a once-in-20-year conjunction with Jupiter. This is the time when the boss marries the secretary, the prince marries a pauper...Love affairs happen at the workplace or at organizations. Important love meetings could happen vial email or while surfing the internet. These love connections seem very long-term. Important areas this month are personal transformation, dealing with addictions, getting rid of the unnecessary in your life, the deeper things in life, debts and their repayment, libido, friends, groups and group activities, organizations, spirituality and charity.

Best Days: 7th, 8th, 16th, 17th, 26th, 27th
Stressful Days: 1st, 2nd, 14th, 15th, 21st, 22nd, 28th, 29th

  LARL (July 23 - August 23)

Health is still very delicate until the 20th, so rest and relax more. There is dramatic improvement in your vitality after the 20th, but you still need to maximize your physical and mental energy all month. Happily, the planets have shifted eastward, making you more independent and self-reliant. You are more in control of your destiny these days - less a plaything for others. With your Love and Social Planet going retrograde on the 25th, you can safely de-emphasize social issues and focus on personal fulfilment. The career is still a major focus, your 10th House is ultra-powerful and most of the planets are above the horizon. You can safely let go of family and domestic concerns and focus on your ambitions. However, this emphasis on career and its demands put on your are making a loved one or spouse rethink the relationship. They feel that your career comes before them. After the 20th, though, social issues should improve as your career cools down a bit, and this will help matters. Jupiter and Saturn's rare conjunction in your House of Career signals long-term developments there. For many it shows a creative type of career or work for a creative type of organization - perhaps in the entertainment industry. For others it shows a choice to make between family and career. Finances are stormy and volatile until the 14th. Money can come suddenly and be spent just as quickly. After the 14th, networking, sales and marketing become very important to your bank balance. Trading brings profits, and professional investors will be doing more trading than usual.

Best Days: 1st, 2nd, 9th, 10th, 18th, 19th, 20th, 28th, 29th
Stressful Days: 3rd, 4th, 16th, 17th, 24th, 25th, 31st

 BARBARIAN (August 24 - September 23)

The increase in retrograde activity this month will not stop the progress and achievement in your life, but only slow it down somewhat. Major developments in education and career are happening now. THis is a major career month, a yearly peak. Most of the planets are above the Horizon, and your 10th House is a strong House of Power. This month the planetary power makes an important shift from the Western to the Eastern sector of your chart. This signals a shift in attitude. You are becoming more independend and self-reliant as the months go by. More and more you have the power to create conditions, rather than just adapting; you are being empowered to have things your way. Jupiter and Saturn's conjuction in your 9th House is a very powerful and beneficial financial signal for the next 20 years. A new business cycle is being born on the planet, and you are right in sync with it. This conjunction also signals greater fertility for Barbarians, and a general expansion of family through births and marriage. For singles, this shows a love affair, which may or may not result in marriage, but which will linger for many years. A new religious and philosophical cycle is being born in many of you. A new world view and personal philosophy grips you, and will probably hold you for years to come. Rest and relax more after the 20th. Career demands are stressful but necessary. Pace yourself and focus on essentials. Important areas of interest are health and work, religion, philosophy, higher education and foreign travel, and career.

  TEFA (September 24 - October 23)

Though there are important developments happening at home, with most of the planets above the Horizon you need to give your career as much attention as possible. The planetary power is still mostly in the West, so your social genius is still very much the instrument of your good. This balance of power is soon to change, but for now attain your ends through compormise, negotiation and putting others first. Retrograde activity is increasing this month. This doesn't stop the progress and forward momentum in your life, but only delays things somewhat. The main effect of the retrogrades seem to be on finances. There are delays and obstructions this month - especially after the 20th. The retrograde of Neptune on the 8th affects both job seekers and employers. Finding work, or finding staff, might be difficult or delayed until after the 20th. Even after the 20th, more research is necessary, as things might not be as they initially seem. Health is fabulous all month, but especially after the 20th. Your partner is prospering beyond belief and the Jupiter-Saturn conjuction on the 28th signals a long-term trend of prosperity. Important areas of interest are children, parties, entertainments, love affairs and creativity, debts and their repayment, personal transformation, the deeper things of life, the income of a partner, making money for other people, libido, religion, philosophy, foreign travel and higher education.

  NAR (October 24 - November 22)

Pluto, your Ruler, is still retrograde and 80-90 percent of the planets are in the Western sector. Your self-confidence and self-esteem are not as strong as usual, and your plans for personal happiness might not be realistic. Attain your ends through charm and social skills. Though home and family issues will be important during this period - and for the rest of the year - with many planets now above the Horizon you can shift some energy to your career and ambitions. Your emotional life is still very stormy and volatile until the 20th. Your 7th House of Love and Marriage is ultra-powerful during this period. Many Nar will be walking down the aisle this month, or will be preparing to walk down the aisle later on. An important social and financial cycle is beginning. Money management is very important, and Love and money are connected right now. When this is expressed positively it shows a wealthy spouse, earnings from social contracts, a business partnership. If negatively expressed it can show that you feel unworthy of love unless you are earning money. Your social life is unusually active. Not only are you dating more, but also attending more parties and social events. Singles have an abundance of romantic opportunities, and happily the new Moon of the 4th is going to clarify this area, and help narrow down the field of choice. Health is still very delicate until the 20th. Rest and relax more; this is not a time for burning the candle at both ends. Vitality will improve after the 20th. Important areas of interest this month: home and family, love, marriage and social activities, personal transformation, debt and its repayment, the deeper things of life, the libido, eliminating the unproductive and useless from your life.

Stressful Days: 3rd, 4th, 9th, 10th, 24th, 25th, 31st

  RARIUS (November 23 - December 22)

Though retrograde activity increases this month, this is still a very momentous month for you - both socially and financially. Long-term changes are going on in these areas, with perhaps some delayed reactions. The planetary power is now mostly in the West and your 7th House of Social Activities is a major House of Power for most of the month. Though in general you are an independent, self-reliant person, this month you are much less so. You need the grace and co-operation of other people now, and must adapt to their needs. Your social grace and charm are strong and very much up to the tasks ahead; your popularity will soar as the month progresses. The short-term planets are shifting to the upper half of your Horoscope by the 20th. And though the bottom half is still powerful, it is less emphasized than last month. you've got to balance career and family, inner progress with outer - you can't lean too far in either direction. Job seekers continue to enjoy good fortune. Those already at jobs are working harder and being more productive; overtime opportunities seem plentiful, and employers are expanding their staff. Love seems stormy early in the month as there can be a power struggle with your current love. Your ego and self-esteem will be tested. A lover from your past comes back into the picture and will test the spiritual work you've been doing on your image and personality. But love gradually improves as the month progresses. Mercury (your Love Planet) moves into your House of Love on the 14th, bringing true romance into the picture. The Sun enters your House of Love on the 20th, making love more honeymoonish and fun. A current relationship becomes more like a love-affair than a marriage. Venus enters your House of Love on the 25th, again increasing the romance and party-going. Health is delicate after the 20th; rest and relax more. Finances are very powerful during this period. Long-term prosperity is happening. A happy financial windfall comes towards the end of the month. Important areas of interest are siblings, neighbors, intellectual pursuits, sales, marketing and communication, local travel, health and work, and love and romance.

Best Days: 1st, 2nd, 9th, 10th, 18th, 19th, 20th, 28th, 29th
Stressful Days: 5th, 6th, 12th, 13th, 26th, 27th

  VERR (December 23 - January 20)

The planetary power is still mostly below the Horizon, so continue to shore up the home base and get in touch with your deepest feelings. Inner growth will lead to outer growth. The planetary power is still mostly in the West, increasing your need for the social gifts and graces. You can't go it alone right now, and must have the co-opweration of others to attain your good. Many planets in the Earth element until the 20th increasing retrograde activity are slowing down the pace of change. Change is more gradual - just the way you like things. Normally a strong, silent type, the power in the Air element after the 20th can be uncomfortable for you. Everyone seems to want to talk and chatter. This may seem uncharactersitic for Verr, but if involved in sales and marketing, these projects will go extremely well after the 20th. The conjunction of Jupiter with Saturn in your 5th House is a happy long-term prosperity indicator. Wealth will come easily to you over the long term. A financial breakthrough occurs. The spiritual life becomes ever more important. Many of you will meet an important guru, teacher or mentor and form a long-term relationship with them. Earnings are still volatile until the 20th but soar afterwards. Earnings will come from work, overtime and through co-workers. Even Uranus' retrograde won't stop the cash from piling up - though it could slow things down a little. Job-seekers are aggressively seeking work and enjoying great success after the 20th. Health is excellent all month. Exercise and athletic regimes go well after the 20th. Areas of importance this month are parties, children, creativity, love affairs, entertainment, health and work, and finances.

Stressful Days: 1st, 2nd, 7th, 8th, 14th, 15th, 28th, 29th

  THASSA (January 21 - February 19)

Health is still vulnerable until the 20th, so continue to maximize physical and emotional energy. You can't do everything, be everywhere, and fulfill everyone's expectations. Focus on essentials, delegate where possible and let lesser things go. Health will improve dramatically after the 20th. When you emerge from this period - one of the most stressful of the year - you will be a much stronger person. The planets are shifting more westward day by day. Two powerful planets are retrograde in your own Sign - one of them, Uranus, your Ruler. This is no time to be self-assertive or rebellious. Flow with the crowd now. Most of the planets are below the Horizon, and your 4th House of Home and Family is still a major House of Power. Like last month, focus on emotional harmony and inner growth. Finding and functioning from your emotional comfort zone is the most important thing now. Career issues cna safely be let go of for a while. This is a period of great psychological progress, and Thassa who are undergoing therapy or counselling will make important breakthroughs. Love begins to improve after the 20th, though it is stormy before then. The Sun's move into Se-Sa brings greater syncronicity between you and the beloved. Kiss and make up and go off on a second honeymoon. Love is more playful and honeymoonish. Singles have the option of serious relationships, or non-committal love affairs. The retrograde of your Money Planet (Neptune) on the 8th won't stop explosive earnings this month - only delay them and make for greater complications. Investments and major purchases need more research. Earnings are very strong after the 20th, and they come rather easily - while you're having fun.

Best Days: 5th, 6th, 14th, 15th, 24th, 25th
Stressful Days: 3rd, 4th, 9th, 10th, 16th, 17th, 31st

  PARSIT (February 20 - March 20)

Two important developments take place this month. The planets make a shift to the West and Neptune, your Ruler, goes retrograde on the 8th. Thus there is a psychological shift this month. There is less self-confidence, self-assertion and independence - but also less of a need for these things. The Cosmos is very clever; now is the time for cultivating the good graces of others, and for road-testing your recent creations. The planets are very much below the Horizon and your 4th House is a major House of Power - especially after the 20th. Thus finding and functioning from your emotional comfort zone is much more important than worldly success during this period. Finding your emotional comfort zone is also going to be more difficult during this period as you feel out of sync with the world and with the environment. With your 3rd House very powerful this month many of you are involoved in advertising, marketing, buying, selling and trading. The energy of the period favors a practical approach. Stress the bottom-line, good value aspects of your product or service and you will get better results. Health is delicate after the 20th, so be sure to rest and relax more and to focus on the essentials. Conserve energy for the truly important things in your life. Mercury, your Love Planet, moves forward speedily, indicating great social confidence and progress. Singles are probably dating more. Love needs and attitudes change frequently and people think of you as fickle. Love is close to home during this period. Finances will be strong all month. Working from home boosts your bank balance. Important areas of interest this month are neighbors, siblings, local travel, sales, marketing communications and the pursuit of intellectual interests, the home, family and psychological issues, and spirituality.

Best Days: 7th, 8th, 16th, 17th, 26th, 27th
Stressful Days: 5th, 6th, 12th, 13th, 18th, 19th, 20th

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 Fifth House - I Am My Creativity

Once we have integrated our sense of personal identity through the activities of the Fourth House, we work to establish our individuality even further through the expansive, fiery nature of the Fifth. It is here that the fruits of family are produced through the birth of our children. It is also here that the results of our hard work and integrating the various aspects of our personality manifest, as the various forms of our self-expression. The Fifth is most concerned with the outward demonstration of our talents and abilities - it is the house of "show and tell." Here, I make an unmistakable statement of my own identity: Through the Fifth House, I sew my monogram on my shirt and wear it proudly for all to see. If the Second House speaks to us of the money we have in the bank, the Fifth House tells us how we spend it. If the Second House reveals to us our innate, creative possibilities, the Fifth House indicates how we express them. The Fifth House is sometimes called the "party house." as it is associated with our pleasures and pastimes, the games we like to play, and our speculative orientation.

Signs on the Cusp of the Fifth House

An individual's urges towards self-expression and the pursuit of personal pleasures are modified in the Fifth House by the sign:

KAIILA as a tendency to be bold, direct, and projective. Kaiila on the cusp of the Fifth is not subtle about who or what he is. Kaiila in this position says: "I create myself and prject myself forward, for all to see and appreciate." People with this sign/cusp combination tend to be a very lusty lover, unafraid of speculation and adventure, and highly personal in the forms of their creative self-expression. These people usually want to have children, who are often looked upon as an extension of oneself. The Kaiila/Fifth House cusp parent promotes the advancement of his offspring, and is eager about their own advancement in life.

BOSK as a tendency to be intimately concerned with the physical forms of one's creative self-expression. Art and beauty are usually very important facets of the creative self-expression of people born with this sign/cusp placement. They may also be involved with creative financing, so that the use of money becomes an important feature of their life. These people tend to be deeply conservative financially (and romantically). They avoid speculation and gambling, although there may easily be investments in the arts. The attitude towards their children tends to be possessive and cautious.

SE-SA as a tendency to have many hobbies, pleasures, and interests. There is also the need to play at romance and love. One may have several lovers at the same time or, at the very least, a number of romantic flirtations during the course of one's life. A person with Se-Sa on this cusp loves to play games, usually has a positive affinity with children, and tends toward having several children of his own. Writing and other forms of communication are the natural, creative outlets, as are travel and intellectual pursuits of all sorts.

TOOS as a tendency to enjoy pleasures at home. Family and children are very important and the individual's creativity is very much geared to family life. This is not necessarily limited to one's own family - a person can be a writer of children's books, or have cooking as a hobby. Their relationship to children tends to be caring and nurturing, although there can be an overly fearful preoccupation with their safety. Much here, as in all definitions of house/cusp meanings, depends on the nature of the ruling planet of the sign in question. There is a definite avoidance of speculation, for this person would tend to be very security oriented.

LARL as a tendency for a highly personalized form of creativity. As the most natural sign for this cusp, Larl on the Fifth gives a very powerful need to be seen and appreciated as an individual. Unless the Sun, the ruling planet of this sign, is poorly placed, there is an abundance of creative potential, along with the willpower to back it up. Romance plays a very important part in the individual's life, as does the pursuit of sensual pleasure. One's children are well-loved and cared for, although there is a tendency to be a bit dictatorial in directing the course of their lives.

BARBARIAN as a tendency for highly specialized forms of creativity. The forms for the expression of one's talents and abilities are cultivated over a long period of time. Hobbies do form an important part of one's life, and the hands work in tandem with the head to produce lovely objects. A practical approach dominates the urge for pleasure: Gambling and speculation are definitely not favorites on this person's list. Romantic objectives are usually clear and uncomplicated, for there is an avoidance of becoming "lost in love." Children as seen as a natural product of love. As a parent or teacher, however, the individual may be rather fussy about the details of how to raise children properly.

TEFA as a tendency to be very artistic and creatively productive. Venus dominates the Fifth House when Tefa is on the cusp, pointing to a definite interest in everything of beauty. There is also the distinct tendency to be heavily romantically involved and to seek out all the possible pleasures which personal love can bring into one's life. This is one area where balance and discrimination are crucial to maintaining personal harmony. Children are usually wanted, and are lovingly accepted. There is a natural orientation to be fair with one's children and not play favorites.

NAR as a tendency to an intense attitude towards romance. This sign/cusp combination is strongly sensual and higly emotionally oriented in terms of its attitude toward personal love. Jealousy and possessiveness toward one's lovers and children can predominate, unless modified by other planetary positions. There are apt to be major turning points in one's creative life. What for years has been a major outlet for the expression of one's interests can seem to shift suddenly, and a door closes shut, never to reopen. Then, after a certain period of time, another door opens, revealing new creative opportunities. This same process can also apply to lovers.

RARIUS as a tendency to be intensely active creatively. The natural urge is to be creatively expansive and eager to test one's talents and abilities. Life is seen as an adventure, and speculation in love and money is a vital part of what makes life exciting. This sign/cusp combination is therefore strongly geared toward the pursuit of pleasure, seeking all manner of opportunity for its exploration. One of the greatest pleasures and pastimes for Rarius on the Fifth is the accumulation of knowledge. This is often accomplished firsthand, through travel and highly personalized educational choices. The attitude toward children is to foster their own independence and their own urge to be adventurous in life.

VERR as a tendency to be very conservative. Speculation and gambling (indeed, games in general), are not usually cultivated; pleasures and investments tend to be much more safe and long-term in nature. There are, as a rule, few children. Often, they come into one's life late, or through other people. It is therefore very common for people with Verr on the Fifth to have stepchildren, or to find themselves involved with young people through their choice of career. If Saturn, ruler of this sign, is poorly placed in the chart, there is a distinct tendency to be a domineering parent and to seek to control one's children. Lovers are usually not plentiful, but, when there is a lover (or a child) in one's life, that individual is usually treated responsibly and with respect.

THASSA as a tendency to be very experimental in one's creativity. The natural outlets for self-expression with this sign/cusp combination are in the sciences, computers, and the Internet. The urge is to reach as many people as possible as quickly as possible so that continuous interpersonal communication is achieved. This is not the most romantic sign to have on the Fifth: the orientation is much more toward friendship than for unending, intense passion. Individuals with this placement tend to befriend their children and often seek innovative ways of educating them

PARSIT as a tendency to be very artistically and romantically oriented. Film, photography, music, and dance are of special interest to this sign/cusp combination. This is a highly idealistic position when it comes to love and romance. The individual with this position may be all too easily swept away by personal love. Self-compromise often accompanies the pursuit of sensual pleasure when Parsit is on this cusp. The romantic life is usually filled with complications. Although there can be great joys and enormous highs in this area of life, equally great dissappointments may also result. Depending on the positions of Neptune an Jupiter, the two rulers of Parsit, children can be a source of great personal upliftment, or can become a great burden.
