Pluto and Chiron:

If you were one of those people experiencing deeper than usual turbulence around the beginning of 2000, you are now likely to be feeling much more confident in the area of your life that was disturbed. (Transiting Pluto and Chiron were conjunct at 10/11 degrees Sagittarius at the beginning of 2000 and if that aspected any planet, angle or node in your chart you were one of those people.)

That confidence is a result of the healing that has been unfolding throughout the Summer, culminating in September. (During that time, as the orbiting Earth overtook it, Chiron appeared to move back, or retrograde, towards that 11 degree point, stopped over it and then continued slowly forwards again.) You are now more secure in yourself, and that security comes from having developed a different attitude to the whole area of life that was disturbed. That particular area of your life would be shown in your chart by the House position of 11 degrees Sagittarius, and how your natal planets are connected to it.

During November, it is likely that you will be able to move forward in the area of your life that has been at issue - because your new attitude will be opening doors, allowing different solutions that had not previously been available to you, transforming your experience. (Pluto also appeared to go back over 11 degrees Sagittarius, and will transit forward over it again in November, completing the energetic movement in this area of your chart.)

Saturn and Jupiter:

During the time mid-August to mid-October (while Saturn was in Gemini) all of us may well have been attempting to put into action our July plans for expanded communication. (Jupiter transited into Gemini at the beginning of July.)

But from mid-October our focus would have returned to physical security, (transiting Saturn retrograded back into Taurus). Since October it has become clear that more groundwork is needed before the plans can implemented. Patience and a steady hand are required throughout this winter, but in late January blockages will tend to shift, and movement can accelerate forward, (on 25th January 2001 both Jupiter and Saturn stop retrograding and move forward again). The House in your chart through which Jupiter and Saturn are transiting, will show the area of life where you personally are working to feel more materially secure. In late April 2001 we will all reap the benefits of our persistence, (as Saturn moves into Gemini for the next two years).

The Solar eclipse in January 2001 - and Uranus:

On January 9th 2001, there will be a total eclipse of the Sun because the Earth will be directly between the Sun and Moon for a moment when the Moon is full. The Sun will be 19/20 degrees Capricorn as the Moon goes through the same degree of Cancer. As the Moon has similar qualities to Cancer, the water-pulling effect will be very strong.

In us this water-pulling shows up emotionally - it's as though our own fluid is being pulled up into our heads, the emotions ruling the mind. The reflection of this for humanity, at that time and for the following month, will be the opportunity to realise that focussing on the needs of others truly helps us to retain a more detached view of our own difficulties. (The astrology of this opportunity is that Uranus will also be at 19/20 degrees of its own Sign, Aquarius, producing a quincunx to the full Moon) - It is caring for others that aids personal detachment, enabling visionary solutions for all.

This may sound complicated so here it is in a sentence: During the January eclipse and throughout February 2001, we can benefit as a collective working together, and we also benefit individually. So at that time, let yourself be aware of the needs of others, focus on what is going on around you and how you can help, and the result will be that you understand your place in life a whole lot better!
