About a year ago I started a blog because I needed a creative outlet. It’s a one woman show. It needs a lot of things, visual content for starters, and some days I wish I had an editor but writing is cathartic for me and I really hope that I connect with other kindred spirits through my blog. I guess I just want to know if I ever will and if there’s the possibility in the future of earning an income from my blog? I’m 46 years old and a homemaker with two very young sons (5 years old and 10 months) and I feel like there needs to be something more for me to do and contribute beyond motherhood and being a good wife/friend even though motherhood is the toughest job I’ve ever had and the most self-sacrificing. I was born on April 10, 1968. Thank you and happy New Year. (MF)
Thank you to transiting Uranus coming to conjunct your natal Mercury, the planet of writers, for awakening you to your creative outlet, mental stimulation, and eventually to an independent income. Uranus is a beginning suggesting that your blog will grow and develop into much more than you imagined when you began. For now, you are developing your writing skills, have a cathartic outlet, and are connecting with others while you stay at home to raise your young boys and, because Mercury rules your 2nd house of income, your blog will produce income in the future. With your natal Moon conjunct Uranus/Pluto in your 2nd house, this is a significant focal point for you. Earning an income from writing, communicating and connecting is not only your pleasure, it is your contribution. For you, writing is meant to be personal, the Moon, stimulating, Uranus, and empowering, Pluto; you are compelled to write this blog. So, yes, there does need to be something else in addition to your marriage and family which will also allow you to be more connected and present with your family. Your 4 natal planets in Aries (Sun, Mercury, Venus, Saturn and Chiron) are in the midst of a 6 year transit of Uranus in Aries, a beginning of changes, growth, self awareness and purpose, a purpose which is building a platform for your future work. This year as transiting Uranus moves to conjunct your natal Saturn, ruler of your 6th house of work and skills, is a time for you to expand and hone your skills adding more to your blog as you begin by 2015 to see how you can start to produce some income. Notice that your natal Mars, the ruler of all of your Aries planets, is in Taurus conjunct your Midheaven, the career angle, indicating that you can develop a dynamic, satisfying and financially rewarding career. It is important to recognize the power of listening to your intuition as you did when you took that leap of faith last year to launch your blog. This is just the beginning!
Love your column. I make sure to read it regularly and was hoping you could give me a little relationship advice. When it comes to relationships, I am scared by some of my aspects – Venus square Mars, Mars square Uranus, Uranus conjunct the Descendant, natal balsamic Moon and seemingly everything square or opposed Chiron. I know this means I need lots of freedom and independence in my relationships but does it also mean I’m destined to never find a fulfilling marriage? All of my relationships so far have been close karmic and intense but with men who are ultimately for one reason or another unavailable. I just met a new guy who seems great so far but I noticed his chart doesn’t make any good aspects to my Moon. Is there anything else I can look for in our synastry as a substitute? My birthday is October 18, 1979 and his is August 26, 1980. Thanks so much! (DD)
Yes, a fulfilling marriage is clearly what you are here to accomplish. However, the aspects you describe are very challenging as you have experienced so far in your past relationships. Now that transiting Saturn has moved into your 7th house of partnership, I would suggest deepening your understanding of your Uranus conjunction to your Descendant from “freedom” to the freedom to say no to the wrong things and importantly the freedom to say yes to the right things for you. This Saturn time is the time to mature into the woman who is capable of and ready for a man who is available because you are also truly available to be present in relationship. Uranus on your Descendant is not just the unavailable men in your past, it is also a reflection of you not being fully ready to commit to the reality of working in partnership. It could be possible with the aspects you have to Venus and your Descendant that you would not want a marriage, however, you were born with your Sun conjunct Pluto in Libra as well as your Moon in Libra clearly stating your soul’s intention to love, be loved, find your partner, become a partner, and create a sustaining/fulfilling marriage. Notice that your natal Pluto rules your 7th house of marriage making marriage not only your personal desire but also your soul work. It is not common to live up to, which means mature enough to be able to accomplish, the trans-personal planets in or ruling your 7th house (and you have both) before your 1st Saturn return. Now at 34 with transiting Saturn in your 7th house as it conjuncts your natal Uranus, you are ready for a serious relationship with a man who can be there with you to build a future. It seems you have met this new man with transiting Saturn conjunct your marriage angle which is promising and, of course, he was born with his natal Saturn conjunct his Descendant. How perfect! There is a lot to recommend this chart comparison – his Sun/Mercury conjunct your Jupiter/North Node, his Venus trine your Mercury/Uranus/Descendant and square your Sun/Pluto, your Venus sextile his Sun, his Mars conjunct your Sun, your Mars conjunct his North Node – but, yes, your Moons are not aspected to one another. I would note that your Saturn is opposite his Moon and your Venus/Mercury is trine his Moon which could satisfy his Pisces Moon needs and his Saturn is conjunct your Moon (out of sign) indicating the longevity and commitment you are seeking. I would not worry about his planetary aspects to your Moon because his Venus trines your Moon ruler and his strong natal Jupiter (conjunct his Descendant, opposite his Moon, sextile his Venus and sextile his Neptune) indicates that he is a giving, caring man. This could be IT!
