My luck is absolutely zero, zilch, nada, things going wrong, not happening, promises made and never kept.

Especially at work.

It seems like I have to sprint to try to stay still at the moment.

Neptune trine Mars: Painless lessons

Beginning of April 2006 until end of January 2008: This is not a good time to strike out boldly into the world to further your own interests. However, this influence does provide the opportunity to learn certain very valuable lessons without suffering discouraging defeats.

During this time you will not feel inclined to assert yourself at other people's expense. Instead you may wish to work to help others without any concern for your own advancement. This is a good time for any kind of charitable work or for working with poor or otherwise disadvantaged people. Similarly you may become involved with others in an organization concerned with mystical or spiritual teaching. Whatever your area of work, the main consideration is that you work for knowledge and insight and to help others, not for your own advancement.

Do not be afraid that your life will lack fulfillment. You will find that ultimately all your activities for and with others for a common purpose will be fulfilling. We often have an idea that our own interests are somehow not consistent with those of others. But at this time you will discover that your needs and desires are identical with other people's. In order to learn this, you must get away from working solely for yourself. This influence will help you do that.

Related to the above effect is a greater concern with metaphysical and spiritual truth. You will become increasingly able to understand how you as an individual fit into the entire universe. Your idea of who you are and what your individuality consists of will expand greatly.

Saturn trine Jupiter: Enough foresight

Beginning of October 2006 until mid July 2007: This is a time of balance and order in your life. You may have to work hard for financial gain, but at least your affairs are in order. Your business or professional life is well organized, and you should be making steady progress toward your goals. The gains you make at this time are not strokes of luck, they are the solid results of good organization.

Your greatest asset at this time is that you can see clearly how various parts of your life are working out. You understand the rules, and you are willing to play by them. Your attitude toward life is pragmatic and practical. You are more than usually willing to accept a situation as it is while working patiently to improve it. You are now in a position to make important choices that will greatly affect your future.

Your employers, bosses and other authority figures can help you out now. At other times these people may have seemed to be obstacles to your advancement, but now they are extremely willing to help. This is in part because you make it clear that they will gain by helping you. You are much more capable now of real give-and-take than you have been at other times. When others see this, they are more willing to work on your team.

Older persons may provide opportunities for real insight into your life. From the perspective of their age, you can see how to improve your own life and help it grow.

This is a time to consolidate and buttress various aspects of your life. Put aside money for the future, invest or buy life insurance. Make peace with the difficult aspects of your life or with those people who are potential sources of trouble. In the not-too-distant future it will be difficult to deal with the loose ends you leave now. You have enough foresight now to see this and make the necessary adjustments.

Jupiter conjunction Neptune: A sense of compassion

End of January 2007 until beginning of October 2007: During this time your ideals will be aroused as they seldom are at other times, and you will approach life with a greater sense of compassion. People who cannot help themselves will win your sympathy especially, whether you encounter them personally or through working with others in a charitable enterprise. Your primary concern is to help individuals by giving them a hand. You may be less concerned with transforming the social order that has given rise to the conditions that oppress the people you are dealing with.

Your interest in spiritual, religious and mystical philosophy is likely to grow at this time, and you may become involved in a group that is studying these subjects. This world no longer seems to meet your needs adequately, so you have to turn inward to find a world that can give you what you really need. Here, too, you will discover that the ego's drives for self-gratification and self-assertion may be the major factors in preventing you from getting what you want out of life. At this time the demands of the ego must be quieted at least a little, so you can hear what the inner self is really saying.

Unfortunately there is another side to this influence, which you should watch for. Some people develop a feeling of false happiness, like living in the dream world of an opium smoker, with no basis in reality. You may feel that everything is all right when it is not, or you may feel that you can do anything you want and get away with it. That is why this influence is often associated with gambling or taking risks with limited resources, often with disastrous results. This is not a very good time for investments, not because you will necessarily lose out, but because you just won't know for sure, and you will be tempted to gamble even when it is a poor risk. For the same reason, in business deals be sure you are not the victim of a massive misrepresentation.

With this influence it is best to avoid purely selfish concerns, for when your actions are thus motivated you are most likely to encounter its negative side.

Jupiter opposition Mars: In a big way

Mid March 2007 until beginning of November 2007: This is an extremely exuberant influence, which inclines you to do everything in a big way. Your energy level is high, and you are ambitious in everything that you do. You have a great need to expend physical energy, but be careful not to act recklessly. Discipline and restraint are necessary, no matter what you do.

Do not overestimate your abilities, either to yourself or to others. You are capable of doing quite a bit under this influence, so you don't have to exaggerate. It is especially important not to kid yourself about your abilities, however, because you will genuinely try to do the impossible and quite possibly exhaust yourself in the process. For the same reason, don't take unnecessary chances. The feeling of omnipotence that this influence confers is not real, at least not to the extent that you feel it.

Sometimes this influence can signify a conflict with another in which you try to break away from the other's restrictions. It is difficult to say in general whether your estimate of the facts is accurate, that is, whether the other person is really demanding too much or restricting you too much. Therefore you must examine the issue very carefully before you act. You have a great need to be self-assertive at this time, but be sure to reserve it for a situation in which it can be constructive. Avoid acting upon impulse. It could get you into needless trouble.

On the other hand, this influence also confers real courage. The difference between courage and foolhardiness is simple self-knowledge, which you must have in order to make this influence work out positively. If you are cool and collected in what you do, this can be a time of considerable triumph as you overcome obstacles and accomplish deeds that you usually would feel incapable of. If you have to stand up for yourself, you can, and in a way that makes further dealings with your opponents constructive rather than destructive. But this will happen only if you keep your head.

Saturn square Ascendant: Appropriate relationships

30 July 2007 until 15 August 2007: This influence signifies a time of severe testing in your relationships with others. The demands of your work or the demands of your personal life will force you to reevaluate which relationships in your life are worth keeping and which are not. If you do not face this challenge consciously, the pressure of events will force you to do so, because people who have been with you for a long time will leave against your wishes.

There is often a strong tendency to build a wall between you and others without even realizing it. The only way you will know is that suddenly you will feel alone and out of touch with everybody. You may feel that you have no support from others, even loved ones whom you have counted on in the past for love and support. This may represent a temporary state of affairs or a passing mood. Or it may represent a serious breakdown in your relationships because of misplaced priorities in the past or because of associating with people who were wrong for you in terms of your personal goals and needs.

In the case of misplaced priorities, perhaps you have paid more attention to getting ahead in life than to giving and receiving love. Or perhaps in the past, fear of your own inadequacies or fear that you are unlovable has made you withdraw from others. Now the consequences of these problems are emerging, causing you to feel alone.

In the second case, the problem is that in terms of your direction in life, the people you associate with are a distraction or are actually opposed to your interests. In this case, no matter how much you love them, walls will form between you and them, and you will have to begin a new life without them.

With this influence several significant relationships will inevitably end. But if you have a clear idea of where you are going, this will not be a great disadvantage. Whatever remorse you feel will be quickly displaced by a new sense of freedom, because you are no longer wasting energy in trying to maintain inappropriate relationships.

Saturn square Moon: A time of readjustment

17 August 2007 until 1 September 2007: This period can be quite a difficult time for your personal and domestic life. On the psychological level you may feel lonely and isolated from others. You may feel depressed and undeserving of love. Sometimes remembered past actions make you feel guilty that you have not lived up to your own expectations.

Externally this influence can create difficulties in personal relationships, especially with women, because your emotional communication seems to be cut off. Your job may make demands that conflict with your domestic responsibilities, so that you are forced to neglect one or the other. Your parents may also be a source of concern at this time.

The conflict at this time is between the structure of your ego, your sense of individuality and uniqueness and your need for connections and roots. Somehow it is difficult to be yourself and do what you must, to maintain your relationships and get much-needed emotional support and reinforcement from your loved ones.

These elements of your life are not truly in conflict, for they are complementary principles that need to be properly balanced with each other. The problem is that one element has got out of control at the expense of the other, so a time of readjustment is at hand. This situation is the underlying cause of the loneliness and depression that often accompany this influence.

You may have to make important changes in your life priorities. You may have to deemphasize your work in favor of your emotional and personal life, or you may have to break off a relationship that has interfered unnecessarily with your work. In either case, you must restore the balance between these two aspects of your life so that your life will run smoothly again.

Yesterday

Wrapped up
Weak, transient effect: Tonight your emotions are strong when dealing with others, which can be either good or bad, depending on how you handle it. On the plus side, it gives you a great deal of sensitivity toward others. You can feel their moods immediately and respond to them so that you are able to fit into any group you are with. You value emotional contacts now, and you project feeling, warmth and concern to others. But on the negative side, this influence can also signify that you are so wrapped up in your moods that you can't get out of yourself and relate to anyone else. In either case your moods are likely to fluctuate rather rapidly, so do not take your emotions too seriously at this time. You should make an effort to be with others, because forcing yourself to relate will bring out the better side of this influence.

The interpretation above is for your transit selected for today:
Moon Square Ascendant MoonSquareAscendant, exact at 21:52 [more information]
activity period from 29 March 2007 to 30 March 2007.

Today

Thirst for action
During this time there could well be arguments in your circle of colleagues, friends or acquaintances. You are energetic, decisive, perhaps also a bit impatient and belligerent, and have little desire to take the sensitivities and weaknesses of others into account. Presumably there is no bad intention on your part - you just want to get things done. If you, however, with your thirst for action, think you can lightly overcome every objection and obstacle, you may well find that someone puts a spoke in your wheel and brings you back to earth. If this happens, you have probably, without conscious thought, just rejected or ignored someone, which is something you would find distinctly unpleasant were the same to happen to you.

The interpretation above is for your transit selected for today:
Mars Sextile Chiron MarsSextileChiron, exact at 10:23 [more information]
activity period from 29 March 2007 to 31 March 2007.

Tommorrow

foggy day
Today you may feel inclined to keep a secret or hold back information in order to avoid a confrontation with someone. It is not good to do this, because it will only contribute to the fog of confusion and unclarity that surrounds you during this time. For the same reasons, avoid any form of misrepresentation or distortion of the truth, even if you think it might be politic to mislead someone. In every way you should strive to keep all your communication and thinking clear, lucid, factual and rooted in the real world. If you try to avoid confrontations by acting evasively under this influence, you will run up against even more demoralizing confrontations later. Also be careful in any kind of negotiations or business dealings today, because you could be the victim of misrepresentation, even if you are not the perpetrator.

The interpretation above is for your transit selected for today:
Mercury Square Neptune MercurySquareNeptune, exact at 01:20 [more information]
activity period from 30 March 2007 to 31 March 2007.

Interesting to read, it does ring a bell!

"That Saturn trine jupiter maybe stunting some of your luck" - yep, I can feel Saturn sitting on me a bit lately. Heavy influence....

I'll get over it, work problems I can handle generally, love problems I don't have because I don't have a love life at the moment (through choice).

By the way, don't think I mentioned your pics in Free for All were lovely, and your sis, must be great genes

You have transiting (planets in the sky) Uranus (friends, also rebellion) square (energy needs to be combined with) Mars (being, also anger), so you are rebellious right now and have a very quick temper. This is a LONG transit so practice taking deep breaths and repeating the mantra "this too will pass this too will pass this too will pass..."!

Rebelliously,

I'm not sure you're having any of these but I have really bad luck so I have some examples. I'd check your natal chart to see if you have any of these.

Saturn opposition North Node - this one will make it seem like the world is against you and make everything a lot more difficult than it can be; look for transits also, I imagine squares would work much like the opposition

Saturn opposition Chiron - if you just keep on getting hurt or feel hurt most of the time or feel that 'reality hurts'; transits might be as bad but things will get better after saturn moves on

Pluto hard aspect to Sun/Moon/Asc will get you into explosive arguments or unpleasant encounters with others that seem to rob you of something. Might want to take it easy and think twice if you see a transit from Pluto to your Asc.

Planets passing through your 12th house - even the fastest moving, the moon can cause trouble here. If you have Uranus, Neptune, or Pluto passing through here you should read about those transits. The 12th house tends to make you the 'victim' in a given outcome so you'll feel at loss without anything actually happening.

Neptune square/opposition MC - this transit tends to cause suicidal ideation or people lose faith in life; extremely dangerous. The natal aspect doesn't seem to be as bad as the transit.

Uranus aspecting Venus will cause your relationships to break up and make you feel like you're out of luck here. Again, check your chart.

Sorry it took so long to reply but I've been laid off sick for a couple of weeks.

Does that count at luck? lol

How's it all going at the mo?! I hope the transits have eased off you somewhat. I know your pain as I've had a few nasty one's kicking me up my rear end!!!

Oh and I would say being off work sick, is definitely the lesser of 2 evils!

I'm in Harrow which is not very far at all from Enfield, but unlikely to be "bumping into" territory (unfortunately )

I actually made a determined effort to force some "good luck" on myself at work (IT sales) and I hit my target with about 30 mins to spare!

Talk about relief! I really appreciate your help from before, thanks.
