Detail of "School of Athens," by Raphael, 1510. Apostolic Palace, Vatican City. Part of the Sagittarius ego trap, is to become lost in the intellectual realm and fail to realize the next stage of his evolution: accessing intuition through the Higher Mind. Too much intellectual processing leads to analysis paralysis. Mentally going around in circles can be very deceptive. In the illusion that one is getting somewhere or resolving a problem, one may simply be unproductively wasting time and energy.One of the most important lessons Sagittarius will learn is that he will never find wisdom outside of himself. His true Soul journey is one of going within, but this is often difficult for our lovely fun-loving, gregarious, affable and sociable friend. He is such a lover of life that there are many things outside of himself to distract him from his journey. The symbolism of the Archer pointing his arrow at the target is symbolic of Sagittarius’s search for the real goal: the search for his Soul, wherein he will find his highest truth and wisdom.
Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth.Marcus AureliusThe above profound quote from Marcus Aurelius brings the realization that wisdom and truth cannot be found outside of ourselves. The need for silence, both internally and externally, which enables us to go within and identify the subtle pathways that lead to this inner wisdom, is emphasized under the sign of Sagittarius. According to Alice Bailey: Sagittarius is the sign preparatory to Capricorn and it is called in some ancient books “the sign of silence.” In ancient mysteries the newly admitted brother had to sit in silence, he was not allowed to walk or speak; he had to be, to work and to watch, because one cannot enter the fifth kingdom in nature, the spiritual kingdom, or climb the mountain of Capricorn, until there has been restraint of speech and control of thought. That is the lesson of Sagittarius: restraint of speech through control of thought.1The fully integrated Sagittarius knows that true wisdom is to be found in the silence. If Sagittarius is to become master of his actions, he needs to realize this wisdom: beyond words – beyond mental concepts – beyond his own intellect. He needs to go within and access the silent wisdom of his heart and Soul which whispers to him through the language of intuition. In order to do this, he needs to release dogma by accessing the all-embracing wisdom of his opposite pole, Gemini, which will allow him to consider alternate perspectives, prevent him from getting lost down a rabbit hole, and, most importantly, give him the skill of placing his attention on his inner world. Once he has turned his attention within, accessing the multifaceted awareness of Gemini, Sagittarius will recognise his own multi-dimensional nature, access the higher wisdom of multiple intelligences (beyond intellectual, emotional and spiritual intelligence!), and find his Truth. In terms of the Soul’s journey through the Zodiac, Sagittarius has been described as a chrysalis stage.1Once a caterpillar turns into a chrysalis, everything inside dissolves into fluid and is reconstructed into a butterfly. Contrary to popular myth, this is not a latent phase of development but indeed a very clear, powerful and active stage. After all is broken down and turned to fluid in Scorpio, the “three aspects of Divinity” become visible, and the way forward is known.1 It is said that there are gifts in the three fire signs of the Zodiac: the gift of existence in Aries, the gift of opportunity through individuality in Leo, and the gift of power in Sagittarius.1Although Scorpio is indeed a powerful sign, it is actually in Sagittarius that this power becomes potent through “right direction.” This is a vital stage in our Soul’s development, which eventually leads to the birth of Christ Consciousness in Capricorn. There are magical Universes to explore, Sagittarius. Will you become a prisoner of your own philosophy and, like the Spanish Inquisition, limit yourself with mental concepts? Or will your love of wisdom permit you to turn your attention inward, and give yourself the highest freedom: the freedom to broaden your horizons and explore every facet of your multidimensional Being beyond your own mind? Pick up your bow and arrow and set your sights on your inner goal. Sagittarius, the adventure of your lifetime begins here!Ruth

Interpreting Unaspected Planets
Peregrine – Original Definition and Adaptation By Noel Tyl
In traditional astrology, the term “peregrine” was defined as a
planet that has no essential dignity (by rulership/detriment, face,
term, triplicity) and is not in mutual reception with another planet. A
peregrine (meaning “foreign”) planet was considered weak and wandering,
much like someone visiting a foreign land without knowing anyone
locally.
In the last 20 years, Noel Tyl began to use the word “peregrine” to
describe a planet that forms no Ptolemaic aspect (i.e. conjunction,
sextile, square, trine or opposition) with any other planet. Rather
than considering the planet weak, however, Tyl asserts that these
unaspected planets can actually become the dominant feature within one’s
personality (in his words, a peregrine planet can run away with the horoscope.)
Chiefly due to Tyl’s work, many modern astrologers now recognize the
term “peregrine” to mean “lacking any major (Ptolemaic) aspect.” With
that in mind, we’ll simply call these “unaspected planets” in this
article.
Some Points to Consider When Interpreting Unaspected Planets
- Unaspected planets do not connect with the rest of the psyche – much like someone in a foreign land, it is disconnected from the surroundings, and integration becomes challenging.
- This can be mirrored as a feeling of disconnection in outer relationships, especially if a key body such as the Sun or the Moon is peregrine: there may be a feeling that the world doesn’t quite understand us. We may “march to a different drummer.”
- Because smooth integration is difficult, often how we use the energy of the unaspected planet tends to be over-compensatory: Unaspected Mercury could suggest someone whose emphasis on thoughts or speech is pronounced, like the writer Norman Vincent Peale, who wrote “The Power of Positive Thinking.” It could just as well suggest someone that cannot seem to stop talking.
- As a result of overcompensation, the unaspected planet may gain dominance within the personality, almost becoming the defining characteristic of the person. How such dominance is expressed of course depends on the “level” of the person.
- An unaspected planet may be interpreted as both strong yet insecure, dominant yet vulnerable to isolation. Consider how such dual meaning would color the archetypal expression of the unaspected planet.
Interpreting The Unaspected Planet
Here are some keywords you may want to consider when exploring the interpretation of unaspected planets in a horoscope.
Unaspected Sun: Marching to a different drumbeat. Strong emphasis on self expression and leadership – possibly demanding ego recognition.
Unaspected Moon: Possibly suggests emotional
disconnection from the parents. There may be a need to express a
caring, nurturing instinct in order to connect with the world.
Unaspected Mercury: Emphasis on thoughts and/or speech.
Unaspected Venus: This could suggest some difficulty
relating to others in a relaxed manner. To overcompensate, there may
be an emphasis on being attractive, flirtatious, charming or
understanding in order to be liked and appreciated.
Unaspected Mars: This may necessitate a special focus for directing one’s energy, which should be considerable. How does one deal with anger?
Unaspected Jupiter: Emphasis on philosophy,
education and international or spiritual dimensions. One may be able to
“turn on” optimism like a switch.
Unaspected Saturn: Possibly, a lack of support from
the father figure. Emphasis on work accomplishment or self-discipline
may compensate for insecurity.
Unaspected Uranus: Emphasis on being significant, or being different from others. A battle cry for significance.
Unaspected Neptune and Pluto are rare today, due to these two planets forming a sextile for what seems like the last 60+ years.
Summary
Unaspected planets can be hard to tame. Integrating the unaspected
planet into our psyche may feel like trying to have a tall Westerner
blend in with a crowd of Japanese people – it can’t help but stand out.
Rather than trying to make it “act normal”, one solution may be to
consciously find a challenging outlet for the energy of the unaspected
planet – be it writing a book, learning a foreign language, forming a
nonprofit organization, or practicing martial arts. That way, the rest
of our horoscope could be benefited through the unaspected planet’s
energy as well. The key thing is not to leave it unattended – which
tends to make it behave strangely.
Do you have an unaspected planet in your horoscope? (Remember we’re
only counting conjunction, sextile, square, trine or opposition here.)

Saturn: Both Beast and Prince
Saturn is well known as the Celestial Taskmaster, and very few of us relish the idea of being called into the principal's office. However, there is another side of Saturn that is truly wonderful if we get to know him for who he truly is. Liz Greene says, "[Saturn's] face as the Beast is well-recognized but [his] alternate face as the Handsome Prince is not often considered; however, without both of these, the symbol cannot communicate its meaning."
Saturn is the architect and builder of the structures which give form to our lives. Saturn gives us rules and boundaries to keep society functioning smoothly, and confers on us the discipline and ability to work hard and seek achievement. Saturn's influence also builds strength of character that helps us withstand the storms of life, a characteristic not often recognized.
It is this quality of building inner strength that I value most about Saturn, but in order to obtain this gift we must follow his rules. When we have Saturn prominent in our charts or affecting us by transit, Saturn demands certain things of us. He wants us to spend time alone in introspection. He wants us to evaluate what we have done with our lives and what we have accomplished thus far. He demands that we seek nothing less than perfection and is ready with criticism when we fall short of our goals so that we will work to correct our errors. He restricts us from enjoyable pursuits unless we have achieved those goals, and creates blocks and disappointments until we do.
The gift that follows includes material success and achievement, but more than that there is a gift of strength and power that comes purely from within one's own self and is not dependent upon the opinions or aid of others. Saturn bestows an attunement to the material world that cannot be obtained through any other influence, and with it an ability to persevere through the most difficult of circumstances.
Saturn's purpose is to challenge the aggrandisement of the ego - following the expansion of Jupiter, Saturn imposes restrictions and constricts our impulse to want to fly with the gods. Saturn brings us back to earth, where we must deal with the mundane, day-to-day worldly existence. It enforces solitude and forces us into contemplation in order to increase the depth of our wisdom and insight. In order to accomplish this, it often thwarts our own desires, frustrating us with its limitations, rules and boundaries and forcing us into a more introspective existence. Saturn's role is to force us to confront anything in the realm of ego that lacks truth. He shines a light in the darkness, instigating experiences that may not be comfortable but which are always pathways for growth and transformation.

Leo New Moon
http://www.kelleyrosano.com/archives/3393/
The Leo New Moon on July 30, lights the creative fires in everyone. Each one of us is a creator. Each one is the author and architect of our own life. Venus the Goddess of love, beauty, true values and abundance is conjunct the New Moon. August is Love Fest month!
Venus will be collaborating with the Sun in August including the New Moon in Virgo on Aug 28. The message from the universe is to love you as a precious soul of light, for without you, what do we have?
The universe is flooding us with the Goddess Light empowering us to release the past, heal our hearts and create a life based on our authentic Self. Venus, Moon and Sun together in playful, creative, generous and heart-centered Leo are encouraging us to stop pushing. Re-connect to our inner child—soul and follow our hearts. We have the opportunity to tap into our childlike wonder, to appreciate life as a series of miraculous events—and ourselves as wondrous creations. The desire to love, play, create and dance in the joy of being alive can bring light to the darkest of places.
What do you want to create? What is your heart’s desire? What empowers your soul?
We are multi-dimensional beings moving from 3D—Unconscious living to 5D—Full consciousness. The God Light is flooding and filling us with an extraordinary flow of LOVE to pull us up out of the illusion—fear and empower us to heal our 3D— core issues. Thus, we have the opportunity to heal the darkest—unconscious parts of our souls. For instance, our issues concerning self-love, self-worth, self-esteem and self-acceptance can heal in the twinkling of an eye. Through the increasing God-Light flooding Gaia and all life, if we are willing to go deep, do our inner work and heal our inner child—soul. We can move forward living authentically and sharing our gifts.
It is believed by many that we are graduating from the illusion—duality consciousness on December 21, 2012. When a mega-conjunction in Sagittarius lines up with the Galactic Center—the Great Central Sun; we are making a giant leap in consciousness. This is why many structures and systems are being dissolved by Neptune—Goddess energy.
The Age of Aquarius is the age of the woman, the divine feminine, which has been lacking on Earth for thousands of years. Creator is flooding our world with the Goddess Energy to increase balance, harmony, abundance and peace. In truth, we are both male and female. Women are feminine on the outside and masculine on the inside. Men are masculine on the outside and feminine on the inside. Gaia and her people need to be balanced in both our male and female energies. We have been sorely lacking the Goddess energy. We have experienced the male Martian energies with endless war, terrorism, fear, and domination at the expense of all life.
Personally, we are dissolving our false ego, false identities, false structures and false beliefs. Collectively, Neptune is dissolving the governments, mega corporations and institutions that are corrupt at the core and broken. This is why much of our world is in breakdown and chaos. Things may seem ugly but this is the necessary breakdown to breakthrough into higher consciousness. We are observing the collapse of 3D consciousness. We can come from either love or fear. Jealousies, manipulation, hidden agendas, lying, deception and controlling others are the seeds of fear, therefore illusion. Only love is real. Many people are invested in the illusion, the status quo to continue and plant the seeds of fear. For instance, Hollywood is making billions of dollars from movies that promote fear/illusion in the masses about the world ending in 2012. Who benefits from selling fear and pain? The truth is the only thing that will end in 2012 is this 3D nightmare!
We are powerful creators and we learning how to manifest what we want in the new 5D energy. We are experiencing the higher energy now. If you have been feeling tired, it is your body adjusting to the higher energies. We must get plenty of rest and drink tons of clean water. We cannot push through the exhaustion that is illusion. There is no race or competition to the Ascension. Thus, we are learning how to work with this new energy. We can instantly manifest what we are thinking. We need to dial out of the fear based media and negative people who are broadcasting fear. Careful what we think about as we can instantly manifest it. Careful what you wish for there is no lag time between thought and manifestation the karma is instant. Whatever we focus on we will create. Whatever we think about we will become. We do not get what we want. We get what we believe. The only thing that trumps beliefs is desire.
Desire – resistance = Deliberate Creation.
You are powerful God and Goddess creators what do you want to create?
The Leo New Moon shows us that we are moving from ego-centered living to heart-centered living. There is no poverty in Fifth Dimension Consciousness. There is no jealousy or hatred. Only love, compassion, unity and community. Leo rules the heart and the fifth house of children, creativity and reward that comes from taking risks. Wherever Leo falls in your natal chart is where the universe is lighting your soul. Awakening you to the eternal truth of who-you-really-are, do what makes you feel beautiful. Shine your light. Be true to your soul. Love yourself!
“One of the most calming and powerful actions you can do to intervene in a stormy world is to stand up and show your soul. Soul on deck shines like gold in dark times. The light of the soul throws sparks can send up flares, builds signal fires, causes proper matters to catch fire. To display the lantern of the soul in shadowy times like these—to be fierce and to show mercy toward others; both are acts of immense bravery and greatest necessity.”
–-Clarissa Pinkola Estes
“An open heart is a heart that is ready for anything. Are you ready?”—Ivo/Lisa Dorr

Introduction to House Rulerships
This page deals with an astrological technique known as House Rulers. When the planetary ruler of the sign on a house resides in another house then there is a special link between the affairs of both of those houses. The ruler of a house is found by looking at the sign on a house cusp.
For example: If Gemini is on the 2nd house cusp then Mercury is the house ruler for the 2nd house in that particular chart. If Mercury is posited in the 4th house, then we can make a statement as follows. The ruler of the 2nd house is in the 4th house. Then a likely interpretation can be made. The best way to understand this technique is to read the paragraphs below.

House rulerships are often overlooked, but I have found them to give very important information and I use them extensively to glean patterns from a chart. I consider this technique to be of major importance when looking at a chart.
The "houses" of the horoscope deal primarily with your earth plane experiences. As such, the tone of these interpretations may appear to be more "predictive" in nature.
Since there are literally hundreds of associations for each house, not all statements will apply absolutely to your experience. The possible combinations are unlimited. I have used the most common associations. Here we are exploring just some of the various options that may exist in your chart based on the links between these twelve major areas of life, the Houses of the Horoscope.

Decan in astrology and planet rulers - Sunsigns
Have you ever wondered why people born under the same zodiac sign are so different in their nature? We know that all people with their sun in Aries are not the same. It takes the whole birth chart to determine the nature of an individual. The ancient astrologers knew this and divided each zodiac sign; modern astrology has taken the divisions further. We divide the signs by their elements, qualities and by the positive (masculine) and negative (feminine) expression. There is another method used to divide the signs and determine rulership, by using the Triplicities. This division is called the decanates.
Is it necessary to know the decanates? Sometimes. Sometimes it completes the story, other times it helps to pinpoint the nature of activity going on in the subject’s life. The decans and rulers are worth investigation and have proven effective in predictive astrology, especially in the progressed horoscope. The ruler of the decan of the rising sign in the progressed chart has a great deal of influence over the whole life, for the time in question, particularly if there are any aspects made by that ruler, or if the planet is strong in the natal chart. The influence of the decan is often similar to the conjunction.
Each zodiac sign governs 30 degrees of the natal chart. Twelve zodiac signs at 30 degrees each constitute the complete natal chart encompassing 360 degrees.
The Decans or Decanates:
Each sign is divided into three divisions of 10 degrees, each sign has 3 decans, one for each division of 10 degrees. Each decan has a ruler which becomes the sub ruler of the sign or the co-ruler of that sign. Once you are familiar with the Triplicities (fire, earth, air, water), it will be easier for you to determine the sub-rulers of each decan.
Each decan of a sign will be in the same triplicity (fire, earth, air, water) as the sign itself. They are arranged in the same order as they appear in the zodiac. The first decan of Aries is Aries, ruled by Mars. The second decan is Leo, ruled by the Sun, the next fire sign in the zodiac. So the second decan of Aries is ruled by the Sun. The third decan of Aries would be the next fire sign after Leo, which is Sagittarius, ruled by Jupiter. Each decan is of the same Triplicity - the fire element. The first decan of Taurus is Taurus, ruled by Venus. The second decan of Taurus is Virgo, ruled by Mercury. The third decan of Taurus is Capricorn, ruled by Saturn. Each decan is of the same Triplicity - the earth element.

Ruler of second decan......10° - 20° - Moon
Ruler of third decan...........20° - 30° - Pluto
Example: Your progressed ascendant 15° Virgo, the decan of 15° Virgo is Saturn. If I were to cast your chart, I would see that Mercury rules your chart and Saturn is co-ruler. Therefore, Mercury has rulership over your chart and the decan shows that there are Saturn influences in your personal circumstances. There may be more attention to duty and details under Saturn’s influence. You may be more ambitious and work hard for recognition or reward. There will be more patience and perseverance now. What you do achieve now will come through your hard work and efforts. Your success and its timing also depends on other influences in your chart and the aspects made to your Ascendant, its ruler Mercury, co-ruler Saturn, and your Midheaven (career).

Is it necessary to know the decanates? Sometimes. Sometimes it completes the story, other times it helps to pinpoint the nature of activity going on in the subject’s life. The decans and rulers are worth investigation and have proven effective in predictive astrology, especially in the progressed horoscope. The ruler of the decan of the rising sign in the progressed chart has a great deal of influence over the whole life, for the time in question, particularly if there are any aspects made by that ruler, or if the planet is strong in the natal chart. The influence of the decan is often similar to the conjunction.
Each zodiac sign governs 30 degrees of the natal chart. Twelve zodiac signs at 30 degrees each constitute the complete natal chart encompassing 360 degrees.
The Decans or Decanates:
Each sign is divided into three divisions of 10 degrees, each sign has 3 decans, one for each division of 10 degrees. Each decan has a ruler which becomes the sub ruler of the sign or the co-ruler of that sign. Once you are familiar with the Triplicities (fire, earth, air, water), it will be easier for you to determine the sub-rulers of each decan.
Each decan of a sign will be in the same triplicity (fire, earth, air, water) as the sign itself. They are arranged in the same order as they appear in the zodiac. The first decan of Aries is Aries, ruled by Mars. The second decan is Leo, ruled by the Sun, the next fire sign in the zodiac. So the second decan of Aries is ruled by the Sun. The third decan of Aries would be the next fire sign after Leo, which is Sagittarius, ruled by Jupiter. Each decan is of the same Triplicity - the fire element. The first decan of Taurus is Taurus, ruled by Venus. The second decan of Taurus is Virgo, ruled by Mercury. The third decan of Taurus is Capricorn, ruled by Saturn. Each decan is of the same Triplicity - the earth element.

Example: Your progressed ascendant 15° Virgo, the decan of 15° Virgo is Saturn. If I were to cast your chart, I would see that Mercury rules your chart and Saturn is co-ruler. Therefore, Mercury has rulership over your chart and the decan shows that there are Saturn influences in your personal circumstances. There may be more attention to duty and details under Saturn’s influence. You may be more ambitious and work hard for recognition or reward. There will be more patience and perseverance now. What you do achieve now will come through your hard work and efforts. Your success and its timing also depends on other influences in your chart and the aspects made to your Ascendant, its ruler Mercury, co-ruler Saturn, and your Midheaven (career).

Transiting Sun in the First House ~ The first house governs the self, self-image, our being, potential, and path to our life's purpose. The Sun's transit here bestows a sense of "rebirth," increases self-confidence, heightens self-awareness, and boosts social success. This is a great time to "go for it." Whatever "it" might be, just do it!
Transiting Sun in the Second House ~ The second house represents our material possessions, income, value system, and self-worth. Finances, income, property value, or buying home furnishings are the focus of expended energies. What may be illuminated now might include seeking a new, alternate, or supplemental income and/or increasing the value of the home through repairs, upgrades, or replacing major appliances.
Transiting Sun in the Third House ~ For those with siblings (biological or otherwise), this transit might highlight an opportunity for a renewal in relationships with them. The third house also represents communication, commerce, writing, speaking, thinking, planning, and ideas. The Sun's transit here is especially ideal for those in professions that require direct interaction or communication with the public, i.e. public/motivational speaker, salesperson, broadcast journalist, consultant, etc.
Transiting Sun in the Fourth House ~ The Sun transiting through the fourth house might turn our thoughts to present or recurring issues involving the family, the home (buying/selling a house, moving, re-financing, re-decorating, remodeling, etc.), our private life (the need for quality time with the self, especially if the professional life requires many hours away from the home life), or the past.
Transiting Sun in the Fifth House ~ The Sun is at home in the the fifth house. Self-expression, creative projects, love and romance, fun, playfulness, and children are all ruled by the fifth house. Allow this transit to awaken creativity, spark love, boost confidence, and/or all forms of pleasure back into your life.
Transiting Sun in the Sixth House ~ Health, busy work, service, comfort in routines, and finding order in the details are all ruled by the sixth house. The Sun here shines on much needed lifestyle changes in health habits, or becoming comfortable with taking on the role of someone who "services" others, or perhaps learning to establish boundaries with those who might take advantage of kind gestures.
Transiting Sun in the Seventh House ~ Partnerships (business or otherwise), marriages, committed relationships, and known enemies are all representatives of the seventh house. Our focus turn to our significant other, spouse, or business partner/s. Their basic needs and well-being may be considered prior to our own.
Transiting Sun in the Eighth House ~ The eighth house is multi-faceted and multi-layered. In the physical realm, the eighth house represents sex and shared resources/finances. Your bedroom may get more action than usual while the Sun transits in the eighth. For those in a volatile relationship and are now separating, estranged, or divorcing, issues regarding your "shared" resources and who gets what might be illuminated. Depending on whether the natal Sun is well or ill-aspected would have a bearing how events play out now. In the psychological plane, the eighth house represents power struggles within our own psychological makeup and our ability to embrace the "darker" version of our self without it overpowering us. On a spiritual level, it represents "death and rebirth", transformation, regeneration -- the need for something to "die" in order for a "rebirth" to occur -- as in a caterpillar transforming into a butterfly. Planetary transits to the eighth house are generally the most difficult but are also the most powerful.
Transiting Sun in the Ninth House ~ Personal growth (spiritual or otherwise) through higher education, experience, travel, and cultural influences might be highlighted. The ninth house also represents publishing so, if you have dreams of authoring a novella or drafting a script or creating your own blog, the Sun's transit here is an opportune time to pursue publication of something already completed or begin the project.
Transiting Sun in the Tenth House ~ Focus on professional pursuits and long-term goals might take center stage with this transit, as well as establishing or re-establishing your public reputation. If there has been a desire to chart a new course in life or change careers, this is an advantageous period to make solid plans and/or measured steps toward new endeavors. If you are up for a new job, promotion, raise, or one of a few contenders for a project, this transit should help ensure you are chosen over your competitor/s.
Transiting Sun in the Eleventh House ~ Transit in the eleventh house might influence your friendships and associations. Your social calendar may just be booked the duration of the transit as your presence may be required or requested at parties, group gatherings, business networking or meetings, etc. You're charmed and making connections, collecting contacts, and being in the scene to be seen is definitely where you should be!
Transiting Sun in the Twelfth House ~ A challenging transit, the twelfth house, like the eighth house, is also multi-faceted and multi-layered. It is the house of the subconscious, solitude, spiritual consciousness, secrets (ours and those kept from us), hidden enemies, and represents institutions like hospitals and prisons. Any planetary transit through the twelfth house might require a period of "aloneness" in order to "recharge" and sort through issues being presented subconsciously and psychologically. The Sun is uncomfortable in this house and unless a chart is natally 12th house activated or heavily influenced by Neptune/Pisces, this might be a challenging period for you. The important thing to remember is not to resist -- respite is required, maybe not all the time, but more than what you're used to; quality time with the self is also required, so shift your thinking to see solitude as something different from loneliness. Your dreaming mind might be more active during this period, too. If possible, pay more attention to them for they may reveal clues to events/issues within your external world.

If there has been a desire to chart a new course in life or change careers, this is an advantageous period to make solid plans and/or measured steps toward new endeavors. If you are up for a new job, promotion, raise, or one of a few contenders for a project, this transit should help ensure you are chosen over your competitor/s.
Transiting Sun in the Eleventh House ~ Transit in the eleventh house might influence your friendships and associations. Your social calendar may just be booked the duration of the transit as your presence may be required or requested at parties, group gatherings, business networking or meetings, etc. You're charmed and making connections, collecting contacts, and being in the scene to be seen is definitely where you should be!
Transiting Sun in the Twelfth House ~ A challenging transit, the twelfth house, like the eighth house, is also multi-faceted and multi-layered. It is the house of the subconscious, solitude, spiritual consciousness, secrets (ours and those kept from us), hidden enemies, and represents institutions like hospitals and prisons. Any planetary transit through the twelfth house might require a period of "aloneness" in order to "recharge" and sort through issues being presented subconsciously and psychologically. The Sun is uncomfortable in this house and unless a chart is natally 12th house activated or heavily influenced by Neptune/Pisces, this might be a challenging period for you. The important thing to remember is not to resist -- respite is required, maybe not all the time, but more than what you're used to; quality time with the self is also required, so shift your thinking to see solitude as something different from loneliness. Your dreaming mind might be more active during this period, too. If possible, pay more attention to them for they may reveal clues to events/issues within your external world.
