Astrological
Perspectives for 2008
This page gives some analysis for healers
about the effects of the astrological energies on some of their clients who
might request healing during 2008 and also on themselves. It is always helpful for healers who understand the
astrological energies to ask for the date of birth of clients when appointments
for healing are being made so that the birth horoscopes can be checked out
quickly.
The same
analysis for 2007 is still posted to this website and may be found by clicking here.
There can be a time lag between astrological transits and the manifestation of
their impact upon the lives of people and it is likely during 2008 that healers
will be seeing people affected by last year’s transits.
If you are not familiar with astrology,
it might be helpful to read the page in the Information Centre called The
Astrological Energies which can be found by clicking here.
The key astrological theme
The table below shows the movement of
some of the planets through 2008.
R means retrograde where it the motion
of a particular planet relative to all the others appears to be backwards.
The main themes for 2008 are:
·
Jupiter moved into Capricorn right at the end of 2007
and progresses through Capricorn during 2008.
·
Saturn moved into Virgo in the last quarter of 2007
and continues to progress through Virgo during 2008. There is some retrograde
movement during the year.
·
Chiron and Neptune continue to progress through
Aquarius whilst the North Node moves retrograde through Aquarius. Chiron does
not quite catch up with
·
Uranus continues to progress through Pisces, albeit
with some retrograde movement in the second part of the year.
·
Pluto moves out of Sagittarius into Capricorn in the
Spring but goes retrograde again into Sagittarius again for several months
before going direct back into Capricorn. The retrograde into Sagittarius does
not go so far as to have an exact conjunction with the Galactic Centre but the
retrograde does go within 2 degrees which is close enough for their to be some
effect. Pluto going back into Sagittarius for several months during 2008 will
have a repeat effect upon the people with a lot of late sign Sagittarius and
other mutable signs as flagged up in last year’s notes.
Capricorn
The expansionary and growth effect of
Jupiter in Capricorn is likely to support people with Capricorn featuring
prominently in their horoscopes. It should also have a supportive effect for
people with the other Earth signs featuring prominently in their horoscopes and
also with Cancer if the Cancer people are able to master the opposition aspect.
As Capricorn is a cardinal sign, this in isolation to the rest of a horoscope bodes
well for people making things happen including change in their lives. Capricorn
tends to be quite grounded and very hard working so a good time to start new
projects.
Depending upon how far into Capricorn
various signs are in an individual’s horoscope, the movement of Pluto into
Capricorn might or might not have some impact during 2008 for the Capricorn
people. It could be that we start noticing the impact much more in 2009 even
after Jupiter has moved into Aquarius. Whilst in the same sign for some of 2008,
Jupiter and Pluto never get close and Jupiter is in fact is running away from
Pluto throughout the year. In the past I have treated several people with
strong Capricorn influences in their horoscopes. The one striking point about
Capricorn is how hard working some of these people are. This was the reason why
they all got ill physically. The other striking point about Capricorn is that
they will keep going in the face of difficult circumstances and they honour
their commitments to the people around them come what may, almost to the extent
that they end up holding enormous responsibilities on their shoulders. The
effect of Pluto moving into Capricorn and stirring things up could make its
impact felt in different ways. For some Capricorn people, it will give them the
extra bit of energy to break out of a long established routine or way of life
and to do things in a changed or new way. This could be quite pleasant. For
others, it could be a difficult time as all the issues or restrictions in life which
have held them back or which they have ignored for a long time suddenly come to
the forefront in ways which cannot be ignored and which have to be dealt with.
In terms of health conditions that healers might be called upon to help with
during 2008, Capricorn people might be experiencing the consequences of or the unexpected
release of long suppressed stress from years of hard work with little time for
themselves. They might feel very out of sorts emotionally if the long
established pattern of life seems to be challenged and the structure in their
lives does not seem to be as relevant or useful as it once was. It will all
depend what planets they have in Capricorn and in what houses they are.
Aquarius
Chiron and Neptune both move through
Aquarius during 2008, with Chiron always several degrees behind
The 1960s
Generation
Above are outer planet extracts from
the natal horoscopes for people born in the 1960s. Having gone through the
Pluto in Sagittarius transits in recent years, a lot of people born in the
1960s are going to experience in 2008 the transit of Saturn through Virgo and
its stimulation of key areas of their birth charts. The Saturn transits will mostly
be of the same sign, opposite sign or sextile sign variety so will be a lot
more supportive than the Pluto transit which was of the square variety. For
those people affected who are on the personal or spiritual development path,
the Saturn transit could be quite helpful. Saturn helps us to focus our
personal energies through the use of structure and the transit could help
people to create new focus for the next few years out of any disruption and
break down of old life patterns caused by the Pluto transit. These people might
need the help of healers to clear away some of the debris of the past that is
sat in their energy fields and might need some directional support from the
teachers. Because Saturn will be in a mutable sign, its impact and resolution
is likely to have a degree of flexibility that one would not expect from a
Saturn transit in a fixed or cardinal sign. Those people not on the personal or
spiritual development past, however, could be feeling all over the place from
the Pluto transit and any changes it has brought to their lives. They will
probably not understand the need to restructure and any stimulus to do so from
the Saturn transit might just cause them stress. The transit will represent
something else which they are being prompted to do but to which they will not
be able to respond as they will have no idea what is going on. These are the
people who are likely to come to healers feeling very out of sorts so it might
be helpful for energy healers to keep in mind the Saturn in Virgo transit for
clients of this generation.
Uranus will continue its journey
through Pisces during 2008 and will make its impact felt as well on the 1960s
people, particularly those born around the mid to late 1960s. The following
comment in blue from the notes which I put up as a perspective on the 2007
astrological transits is still relevant for 2008 due to the relative slowness
of the Uranus progression through Pisces. It would be a big help if healers
could understand the separate impacts of the Saturn and Uranus transits on the
1960s people. Although both might have similar effects on health conditions,
the life situation response to both transits will be best if the separate effects
of each transit are recognized.
At the present time, these
people have Uranus approaching the birth chart Uranus in opposite aspect. The Uranus opposition is the astrological
factor behind what is commonly referred to as the mid-life crisis because it
usually happens around the ages of 38 to 43 years. The opposition stimulates
the rise of the kundalini energy up the spine and the central energy channels.
If people experiencing this have a lot of stuck or blocked energy, the
kundalini cannot flow freely and either builds up a head of pressure or finds
other ways of dissipating around the person. The resulting energy stress can
cause unexplained physical ailments such as back pains and can cause unusual
behaviour problems and depression.
One of the biggest risks for people in
the 1960s will be the breakdown of longstanding relationships in their lives. In
popular perception the mid life crisis which is the manifestation of the Uranus
transit in opposition is dismissed as a stereotype image of middle aged men
chasing after younger women. It is in fact more serious phenomenon than that
and affects both men and women. It is a time in their lives when more people
experience depression than at any other time. When people are in a state of
depression, the negative aspects of their lives seem to take a greater
importance than the more positive aspects. In this state, people seem often to
focus on the negative aspects of their relationships with their partners and
make decisions on the basis of these. They often tend to forget that there are
also the positive aspects that helped to keep them together during the years
gone by. If appropriate, healers who understand this could maybe suggest to
their clients in these situations that working through differences and both
partners getting on to a shared personal growth path can in some situations be
an alternative to the ending of relationships.
Some of the people of the 1960s
generation were born with Saturn in Aquarius. They will already have had a
lifetime of difficulty working with structure to focus their energies due to
the semi-sextile (next astrological sign) relationship with Chiron, the
quincunx relationship with Uranus and Pluto, and the square relationship with
