5R’s – Incredible to 1R – Awful

The weekend begins with the Moon transiting the sign of partnership-oriented and creative Libra. We are focused on our relationships. Transiting Mercury enters friendly Aquarius early on Friday evening. Look for an original and unique way to communicate. Transiting Mars enters intense and passionate Scorpio on Sunday morning. Take action with regard to partnership finances and/or taxes. Passion and sex are transformative. That is even more true as the Moon enters Scorpio as well later on Sunday morning. Emotions are intense and deep. Handle anger in as constructive a manner as is possible as the Moon conjoins Mars.

Aries -- Others run with the ball on this weekend, and would like for you to join in on the fun and games. You might have more than your share of New Year’s events to attend. Friends are quite chatty and sociable, but you might not agree with everything you hear.  You might need to stand up for yourself on Saturday, although you might not want to.

Major Astrological Influences Of 2016

2016 promises to be a very interesting year. There will be more of the unexpected, more lessons to learn, more growth and opportunities, more dreams and ideals, and more transformational experiences. I’ll attempt to explains some of the major astrological influences of the year in the following paragraphs.

There are usually three Mercury retrograde periods every year. In 2016, however, there will be four. The first one begins January 5 and will last until January 25. These periods are generally marked by miscommunications, misunderstandings, problems with communications equipment, travel delays, and plans that will later need to be revised or completely changed. It’s usually better not to make important decisions or to sign contracts or anything else if that is possible. Complications and problems are too easy to encounter, and often we don’t have all the information that we need. The best thing to do is to continue to collect this information throughout the period. How these periods will affect you personally depends on where it happens in your astrological chart(s). If you’d like to know, ask me.

There will be eclipses in March and then again in September of 2016. They occur in Libra, Virgo, and Pisces. Eclipses are intense and important events that often affect the masses. An eclipse will affect you personally if it hits one of your personal planets or points (within a two degree orb). Again, if you’d like to know if an eclipse will affect you personally, ask me.

Saturn will continue its transit through Sagittarius. It could influence the airline industry, higher education, the legal field, religion, outer space exploration, and anything foreign. This transit will affect you personally depending on where Saturn is transiting in your astrological chart(s). If you’d like to know, ask me. At different times during the year, Saturn will square Neptune (in Pisces) and square Jupiter (in Virgo). Those periods should be critical.

Uranus, the planet of change and the unexpected, will continue to transit Aries in 2016. Transiting Uranus could affect the high technology industry, astrology/astrologers, civil rights issues, and other humanitarian interests. If you’d like to know how this transit of Uranus will affect you, ask me. During 2016, and especially the first part of the year, Uranus will square transiting Pluto (in Capricorn). There could be and probably will be more uprisings, human rights protests, and pushes for societal change. Pluto rules those who possess enormous power and wealth such as multinational corporations and big businesses as well as persons with great wealth. Therefore, I expect that the income disparity issue will be an issue in the year’s presidential election.

We also have a Mars retrograde period in 2016. During these periods, it is difficult for us to take action in an effective manner. This period occurs from April 16 through June 28. The majority of that transit will be in Sagittarius. A shorter period of time, Mars will be transiting the sign of Scorpio.

Jupiter will be providing more opportunities, growth, healing, and possibly luck with its transit through the sign of Virgo till September of 2016. Jupiter moves into the sign of Libra on September 8. Partnerships, love, romance, and creative endeavors will be blessed by this Jupiter transit.

December 25, 2015 Weekend Ricksterscope

5R’s – Incredible to 1R – Awful

The weekend begins with the Moon transiting the sign of family-oriented and emotional Cancer. We are focused on home and family and our emotional needs on Christmas Day. The Full Moon early in the morning highlights home/family vs professional issues. Transiting Mercury (in Capricorn) trines transiting Jupiter (in Virgo) around noon. We hear words of adventure and optimism. Our thinking is expansive and the big picture is important. Transiting Uranus turns stationary direct on Friday evening. The unexpected happens, and we need to look for important changes on the horizon. The Moon moves into dramatic, romantic, and creative Leo early on Sunday morning. Let your inner child out to play.

Aries –  You could be quite a bit more emotional this Christmas than you would normally. That does not mean that you will not display the unexpected via your own unique personality. But, please don’t overdo it. Someone could have control issues on Friday night, but you’ll enjoy warm and pleasant times with family and very close friends on Friday and Saturday anyway. Let others know that you care. Your popularity is on the rise on Saturday. On Sunday, a spirit of playfulness emerges as your creativity is enhanced. Expect some extremely favorable results.

Emotions run deep, and the only thing that you can count on is the unexpected. Just let it go, and go with the flow. Even so, there is adventure in the air especially on Friday afternoon. You or a guest might have some control issues Friday night, however. On Saturday, stop downplaying your talent and/or success. A friend is sincere when s/he tells you that your success is imminent.

While they’ll miss you severely, they will understand. On Saturday, events that occur could test your patience and you could become quite irritated. You could get a lot of work done with that energy though. By Sunday, you will decide that this out of the limelight phase has gone on long enough. You emerge on the scene all smiles.

Next week: A force to be reckoned with.  RRRRR

Sagittarius – Your focus on Christmas Day is likely to be on one person. A partnership could most definitely intensify or become stronger on an emotional level with this lovely full Moon.

December 11, 2015 Weekend Ricksterscope

5R’s – Incredible to 1R – Awful

The weekend begins with the Moon transiting the sign of adventuresome optimistic Sagittarius. We are still experiencing the transiting Mars opposition to transiting Uranus which occurred on Thursday. We push and demand (perhaps angrily) to be liberated from something. The effects could be somewhat explosive and bring forward some very surprising and unexpected responses. The Moon moves into ambitious Capricorn late Friday night. We calm down and begin to think and act in more practical and even business-like terms.

Aries –  Take an overview of the situation on Friday morning. Sometimes it’s difficult for us to see the forest for the trees. Late Friday night, you are in charge, and it’s unlikely that you can be stopped. We are not sure who would want to. On Saturday, while you’ll still be in charge, you’ll see how the silly fun times with others can be important too. On Sunday, you may want to have a discussion with someone who communicates with feelings as well as with words. You could be surprised that you truly get it. Let off some steam later on Sunday night.  RRRR

Taurus – One on one related takes up much of your day on Friday. You could discover that you do not agree with someone as much as you might have thought that you did. Look for common ground. Later on Friday night, someone exotic could capture your interest. You might want to move in a different direction the remainder of the weekend, because the same ole will likely seem tedious. And, there is a new exciting energy in the air late on Saturday night. You’re able to balance your own ego needs and those of others on Sunday. They will know that you have been fair in your dealings with them.  RRRRR

Gemini – Dealing with others on a one on one basis will carry you much farther this weekend than will group endeavors. It would be a good idea to defer to someone else knowing that you’ll come out just fine as well. For some, a relationship deepens and may solidify significantly. A partnership could get a new start under the influences of the new Moon. Some may decide to call it quits. You could change your viewpoint by late Friday night and surprise others. Still others may be dealing with partnership finances or tax issues. This is not a time to try any shortcuts. Keep everything above board, and you’ll be fine. Suffice it to say, partnership issues will be very important and serious the next two to two and a half years.  RRRRR

Cancer – You will have quite a bit to accomplish on Friday, and you might even have to work late. The new Moon signifies a new beginning, but you may need to rein yourself in a bit nevertheless. Late Friday night and for the rest of the weekend, others want your attention. Make it your pleasure and defer. You could be quite emotional. If so, guard against compulsive behavior. The power of positive thinking and optimism works in your favor on Saturday. You’ll be smiling. On Sunday night, you could experience a rash of anger from out of the blue. Try to get to the bottom of what is bothering you then. RRRR  

Leo – Your playful manner will certainly delight others on Friday. Love and creativity are also favored as your heart sings. Life is a celebration. Offer a loved one some good advice. Unfortunately, you’ll likely have more than your share of work to do the remainder of the weekend. It could be Christmas shopping, work around the house, or on the job. But, you’ll be busy and you’ll feel good about yourself. On the other hand, it could be difficult to get yourself motivated on Sunday. Do whatever you must, and then relax. You may also need to straighten out a situation or fix something (a mechanical problem?).  RRRR

Virgo – If it is at all possible, work from home on Friday. That is where your heart is likely to be. Family issues could require your time as well. You’ll want to get out and enjoy the good times and the holidays festivities the remainder of the weekend. This holiday season probably seems very special to many of you. Others might be surprised by your newfound playfulness. Still, you might want to watch your expenditures as your finances could get out of hand quite easily.
