Your astrological horoscope (natal chart) at birth is an important key to your personality and character, but your natal chart is not the last word about you. As time moves on after the moment of your birth, the Sun, Moon, and planets continue to circle through the heavens forming ever-changing kaleidoscopic patterns in relation to your own birth chart, bringing out or obscuring this or that part of you.

It can be useful to know how these ongoing planetary patterns relate to your life, and that is what this report is about. Here we calculate the primary astrological changes in your chart and interpret them so that you can see at a glance what is happening at any given time. Your events are arranged and interpreted chronologically, by well-known astrologer Michael Erlewine, and each event includes date and time, keywords, astrological indicator, and an astro-tarot card. We hope you enjoy your forecast.

John Boehner

In the tradition of astrology the planets have always been interpreted separately from the Sun and the Moon, which are called "The Lights," and for good reason. They literally light up our life and their combined interaction describes the essence of what is happening to us at any given time. Although called "The Moon Report," any mention of the Moon automatically involves the Sun, and of course, our Earth. These three, the Sun, Moon, and Earth, in their endless interaction are perhaps the single most important factor to observe in astrology.

The ever-changing relationship in the sky between the Sun and the Moon is perhaps most obvious at the Full Moon, but as we know, it is going on all the time. This report tracks the Sun-Moon relationship as it relates to your particular natal horoscope and birth chart, detailing all of the major events that take place in the current month for a specific life area and planet.

The Moon has always represented the 'mother', meaning anything that nurtures or cares for us, our support system, however that is made up. It also indicates our emotional makeup, how we feel about things, and the nostalgia of the past - where we came from.

On the other hand, the Sun represents the 'father' principle and the future, where we are heading toward and, to some degree, the means we have to get there. The Sun burns brightly, while the Moon is cool and comforting. The two together mark the endless play between the past and the future, and we here on Earth, are caught right in the middle, that is: the present.

Your Saturn Forecast

Saturn is all about organization, control, and discipline, either exercised by ourselves or applied to us externally by some outside power, more or less our choice.

Saturn also represents all of the obstacles and blockage that life seems to place in our path and that we have to find some work-around for. And by association, it stands for the law, the lawmen or women, and any organized force like the military. Saturn is also the walls that make homes possible.

This forecast is about how the planet Saturn figures in your natal chart and what it portends for the immediate future. Saturn is where we are limited and are forced to exercise discipline and control. It is out taskmaster. We hope you enjoy it.

Before we present your Saturn forecast for the coming months, let's review how the planet Saturn is configured in your natal or birth chart. What follows is an interpretation of Saturn at your birth to the Sun, Moon, and other planets. It should help to give you a general idea of how you related to matters of discipline and organization. Here goes:

Emotional Plans

You are naturally serious, and you may often find yourself disciplining or controlling your own emotions (or having them controlled for you), as you try to forge ahead in life. You always have meaningful plans, and work to carry them out.

Authoritive Plans

Your authority may at times be questioned and your discipline challenged, not so much by an giant ogre, but more likely by being picked at by petty annoyances. These are to be expected and should be suffered knowingly, for the sake of any real accomplishment you wish to make.

Mental Patience

Getting yourself organized or disciplined, at least mentally, can be frustrated by constant demands for your attention arising from past problems or mistakes. These interruptions are just part of your deal, and need to be graciously handled, if you hope to make real progress.

Building Discipline

You always seem to have the energy to be a little tougher with your appraisals, and to put into practice and build into your life greater economy, whether that means just being more cost-conscious, in general, or something more general, like greater dependability overall, a more disciplined approach, and sense of duty.

Discipline Ideas

You like to entertain questions of self-discipline, of channeling your drive and ambitions, anything to do with building a workable engine.

Stone Wall

You will naturally have active times, when success is obtained by the use of discipline, the law, lawyers, and the like. These moments, when they come, are excellent times to solve serious problems, and to carve out a path of discipline. You find that pushing hard doesn’t get the job done, but flexibility often does.

Stable Cooperation

You naturally will find the right time to work through obstacles, and to bring needed insights and new ideas down to earth and make them practical. Some dues will have to be paid to make these moves forward, so it is best to pay the piper, in this case.

Spiritual Core

You can Boil down ideals and inspiration into whatever the real world will accept, something true. You putting dreams to the test.

Plans for Change

Your attempts or plans to contain or control deep inner feelings are nothing, if not organized, and you definitely have a method in your madness, a very detailed plan.
