Cyclical Nature Of Life – Good Times, Bad Times
Life has a cyclical nature. Good times follow bad times and vice versa. Surely, good and bad are labels that we, human beings, put based on our limited perceptions. There is nothing that is all good and nothing that is all bad. Consider the example of agriculture. To begin with, the fields are vacant. One ploughs the fields, takes grain from home and disperses in the fields. This is the first stage called sowing. At the beginning of this stage, there was some grain at home but now at the end of this stage, there is no grain at home either; there is some grain hidden in the soil, but one does not know whether it will grow up or wither away. The second stage is growth. Plants have started growing. They need care. One can feel happy seeing them grow, but at this stage if someone wants grain, there is nothing that one can get. For that one has to move on the third stage of reaping, when one can reap the crop. Sowing, growth and reaping – these three stages are essential for crops.
Life follows a similar pattern. There is one phase of life when one has to only sow. In the other phase one can see some progress but one cannot still enjoy the fruits of one’s labours. Followed by this is the phase when one can enjoy the fruits. In case of agricultural crops, the time and duration of each phase is determined by variations in temperature and humidity caused by seasonal variations. In case of human beings, planetary movements determine the phases.

Planetary movements determine the duration and timing, but they do not determine the quantum of results, which are determined by one’s own efforts, present and past. It is like one knows that a farmer will get crop of wheat in the month of March, but the quantity of wheat that he can harvest depends on the efforts put in by him, the seed chosen by him and the area of land owned by him. So keep in mind there are no “bad” times. The times, when one cannot get results, is not bad. See the so-called bad times as sowing times. When one does not sow during the period that one is supposed to sow, one gets nothing during the harvest time. Every failure is indeed an investment. Inability to face failures head-on and desire to get quick successes is a sure recipe for disaster. Sowing is not the time to get depressed and at harvest time one must not forget all about future. A wise farmer starts preparing for the next sowing as soon as he has harvested a crop. Even before he lets his family eat the grain, he keeps a portion away to sow for the next crop. Similarly, a wise man knows that at times when one is being lauded for achievements, one must start planning for the next phase when one will have to once again till the land and sow the seed.
Astrological forecasts of cosmic influences are comparable with, but more complex than meteorological forecasts. Meteorology deals with a very small number of variables – temperature, humidity, rainfall, snowfall, and wind velocity. Compare this to the complexity of parameters in twelve houses of a horoscope. When weather department forecasts light rain, we know that it is advisable to carry an umbrella. In case of astrological forecasts, the response is rarely so simple. Faced with different circumstances, human reactions vary enormously. In the face of adversity, one man collapses, while another one steels up. Astrology cannot predict responses.

TRANSITS This report focusses on transits of the slower-moving planets:Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. The position of these planets in the next 12 months is compared to the planetary positions in your birth chart. Transits are made when one of the five slow planets at the time/periode mentioned makes an aspect with one of the planets in your natal chart. We here omit the aspects made by transisting Sun, Mercury, Venus and Mars: they move so fast that their influence is fleeting. The Moon even moves faster, but because it’s so close it exerts an influence anyway. However, they are best dealt with in greater depth using refined astrological techniques beyond the scope of this report. Contacts made by the slower planets to the slower planets (like Neptune opposite your natal Pluto) may be too subtle to detect, but contacts made by a slow planet to one of your personal planets (Sun, Moon, Venus, Mars) signify the chapters of your life.
The aspects globally should be read like: Q = conjunct (0 degrees) = depending on planets [ = sextile (60 degrees) = helpful T = square (90 degrees) = stressful S = trine (120 degrees) = positive R = opposition (180 degrees) = unfavourable Keep in mind that astrology is not soothsaying or magic. Astrologers do not predict. They do assess future trends and point out possible areas of success or pitfalls. The true value of a prediction is to draw attention to your strenghts so that you may take the best advantage of them.

Your capacity and desire for pleasure and luxury are enhanced during this period, a situation that can lead to overindulgence and extravagance. However, it can also contribute to the expansion of your social life, establishment of fortunate partnerships and alliances, success in the arts, writing, or publishing. Under this influence there is no doubt of the potential benefits that are made possible as a result of your relationships and social interactions with others. The negative potential suggests you may give in to physical laziness or take too much for granted, and thus not be enterprising enough to take advantage of the contacts that are made. Enhanced enjoyment of your female friendships is likely. If this period finds you lacking in the things you most desire, you may be all too willing to sacrifice long-term relationships or other values for what may be a short-term gain. Another possibility is that you simply overestimate the true nature of relationships that come along; believing they are more promising than they may actually be. Wisdom, maturity, and prudence are needed to profitably extract the added pleasures and good fortune that can come your way without being trapped by them.

Be alert to the dangers of illusion and deception that can make it difficult to keep track of reality during this period. There is no predicting exactly what can happen, but it seems certain that those who propose fantastic schemes, and perhaps even more perilously, involve you in fanatic ideas are to be avoided at all cost. The tendency to use self-pity and guilt as an excuse for overindulgence and the use of drugs or alcohol is another discouraging potential in your current circumstances; one that will have serious consequences if you cannot manage to avoid it. Confidential matters are either revealed or are completely distorted or misunderstood. This is a highly inauspicious time for long-distance travel on or over water. It is important to realise that you will probably not be able to remove the forces that oppose you, which only leaves you the option of finding a constructive way to work around them or with them.

Responsibilities, restrictions, rules and regulations are in direct conflict with freedom these days, and this situation is apt to be a key factor in blocking your progress, happiness, success, or whatever else you are after. You cannot count on maturity or experience to lead the way, and when you do, your authority is challenged. A promising situation may tempt you to circumvent the rules or get around restrictions. It doesn’t work. You refuse to bend the rules or relax your attentiveness to responsibilities, and as a result, miss a valuable opportunity. It may be best to resist the promise of something new and hang on to what you have, at least for the time being. It is important to realise that you will probably not be able to remove the forces that oppose you, which only leaves you the option of finding a constructive way to work around them or with them.

You have reached the culmination of something you began or gained approximately twelve years ago. Whatever it was-- a marriage, a business venture, or some other endeavour-- must now move on to a higher level of personal growth and happiness or it will begin to end at this point. Expansion of your ego needs may consciously or subconsciously be what forces the issue. The pursuit of pleasure can become intense as a source of ego satisfaction, and so too, can the pursuit of knowledge and greater spiritual awareness. The tendency for self-indulgence as well as generosity to others increases, which is not necessarily a bad thing unless you go too far. Avoid the temptation to get carried away with your own importance. Such self-inflating tactics are not likely to be necessary, since recognition and honour may come without your having to demand them.

SATURN transit House Four Enters on 22 May Should you be discouraged or disappointed with your home or domestic arrangement you will be likely to change it during this period. Because this is a relatively long-term period, many other influences will occur that may either emphasise its effect or perhaps mask it temporarily. Other significant factors that will contribute to the way you react, and ultimately to the way things turn out, include your age, maturity, and your past experiences. This influence has as much to do with the past as it does to the present. It will force you to throw out what is wasteful and to abandon unsuccessful situations, replacing them with something more solid and useful. In the case of this particular period, it means you will be constantly confronted with family relationships. Past disagreements or problems related to them now demand resolution. You may be required to accept additional responsibilities for family members or with regard to your home. The effect of childhood conditioning is apt to be emphasised, and, if current negative attitudes and behaviour have resulted from such conditioning, you now have the responsibility to confront and overcome it. You will resent the attempt of family members to restrict or impede your progress, while at the same time, should you treat them in similar fashion, they will also resent the interference. This is a period for the completion of an old cycle. For one reason or another, you will not be allowed to begin anything new if you have failed to take care of unfinished business. The highest rewards for correct actions during this cycle include stronger family ties, a more solid, successful domestic environment, and your emergence from one stage of life--its success as well as its failure-- to begin another level of more productive learning and experience.

The potential of this long-term influence is that some element of mystery, glamour, illusion, or spirituality in the circumstances and people you encounter during this period will give you an opportunity to improve your emotional life, to obtain your desires, and to gain greater sensitivity. An important female figure may come along to give you a boost.

Emotional levels expand under this influence and your desires can become quite grand. You may effortlessly gain greater emotional commitment from those with whom you share close relationships and have no trouble attracting love and affection from many others as well. Emotional satisfaction can be found in practically everything. But not everything is necessarily desirable or practical. Too much physical pleasure in food, for example, can result in gaining weight. You may seek higher social status, and get it. However, in seeking to improve your popularity, you may indulge in extravagant spending and accumulating material possessions-- all the better to gain the admiration and approbation of others. This is an excellent period if your business or interests involve the purchase and sale of luxury items, real estate, and domestic items and items related specifically to women or children. Your residence may be upgraded and your domestic environment may prosper from a greater appreciation of education, spirituality or culture. A female parent as well as your children should also prosper at this time.

Other significant factors that will contribute to the way you react, and ultimately to the way things turn out, include your age, maturity, and your past experiences. This influence has as much to do with the past as it does to the present. It will force you to throw out what is wasteful and to abandon unsuccessful situations, replacing them with something more solid and useful. In the case of this particular period, it can mean you will have additional responsibilities for children. Problems with them demand resolution. They may regard you as too severe or inflexible, or you may suffer estrangement from them. Children are apt to be conceived under this influence if your age and circumstances permit such an occurrence. Though this period implies the possibility of long-lasting, stable romance, it also suggests that a serious emotional commitment must accompany such a relationship or it will not last. The consequence of destructive habits of overindulgence in the past now require you to exert powerful self-discipline. Your social life can be emphasised in such a way as to cause you to derive less enjoyment from it, or as the case may be, feel deprived for the lack of it. Your social activities and contacts may be so demanding of your time and attention as to actually be restrictive since they prevent you from concentrating on other important matters. Artistic and creative talents; their development, use, or abuse are another likely focus of this period. Risk-taking, whether its nature is physical, economic, or emotional is only to be embarked upon with the greatest of caution and mature experience. Failure or inability to adopt this approach is likely to end in severe loss. The highest rewards for correct actions during this period include stronger, more stable relationships, a better sense of how to control selfish desires, and a more mature and successful approach to enjoying every aspect of life.

Things may become frustrating during this period, especially when dealing with older people. You’ll be in trouble if you are too liberal, and yet stymied by taking a too conservative approach. In the broad circumstances you may encounter under this influence, too much emphasis on the future with no consideration for tradition and past experience is apt to be as unsuccessful as being stuck in the past unable to consider the future. Stand back and let things settle of their own accord to a level that seems comfortable for everyone. 10

The potential influence of current circumstances is likely to pass unnoticed, unless you are engaged at this time in some intense mental, emotional, or physical activity. If such a struggle is in fact the case, you may encounter people and situations that offer opportunity to increase your patience and determination. Ultimately it can mean you will gain even greater control, quite possibly through the help and advice of those older and wiser.

This can be an extremely difficult period for marriage, partnership, female relationships, and joint ventures-- and perhaps the very worst influence under which to establish new associations of this type. You and/or those you must deal with during this period are not likely to be in the mood for compromise since the chance of that occurring has in all likelihood long since passed. For one reason or another you are not likely to look your most attractive or be on your best behaviour. Everyone seems to have lost their sense of humour--including you. What should be enjoyable experiences somehow fail to measure up to expectations. Under this influence, the pursuit of beauty, luxury, cooperation, and harmony is likely to either fail outright or be gained at such a cost as not to be worth your efforts. Romance is burdened by lack of enthusiasm, opportunity, or both. Social activities lose their appeal or may be lacking altogether. By choice or circumstances you may work or spend time alone; a notaltogether-unpleasant prospect since you may get more accomplished. The most positive way to approach potentially negative situations is to turn your attention as much as possible to other things.

Your spiritual tendencies, artistic bents, and flights of imagination may be overshadowed by the grim face of reality or even disillusionment during this period. Other situations you encounter may engender misinterpretation and misunderstanding. What exactly you are supposed to be responsible for can completely escape your notice. You may fail to comprehend the reality of a situation, and unnecessarily assume a burden of responsibilities that are not yours. This is a period in which to be especially wary of monetary matters. All is not negative, however. Artistic and creative projects can benefit from a dose of reality, structure, and organisation. Under this influence spiritual growth is gained through more traditional understandings. Charitable efforts are put to practical and focused purposes.

This period brings a well-defined influence that is nearly unanimous in its effect on those who experience it. It is a period in which your life has come to a decisive point. You question your goals and the progress you have or have not made. It would not be unusual for you to start thinking in terms of a certain finality, a sense of lost youth or failure to accomplish or experience certain things. Confronting past failures and disappointments is necessary and so is extracting whatever positive lessons and experience can be gleaned from them. Barring any dalliance with depression or discouragement on your part --an unnecessary indulgence which should be avoided at all cost-- you will begin to see a more structured and purposeful future ahead. This is likely to lead to a serious attempt to make changes in or terminate current relationships and situations that will not permit the future growth you envision for yourself. On the other hand, all current circumstances being satisfactory, this is a period to reaffirm your commitment to your present course and long-range goals.

If you are willing to put aside your own goals, individuality, perhaps even your pride, you may not fare too badly during this period. If you have failed to live up to your promises or accept responsibilities in the past, this is a time when those actions may come back to haunt you. Expect to encounter discouragement at the hands of authority, rules and regulations, endless delays, and other frustrations. Your leadership, integrity, honesty, or generosity are apt to be challenged by those who are older or in positions of seniority. Your vitality and willpower are either lacking or too ineffective to deal with current circumstances unless strongly favourable factors also exist at this time to offset the negative potential. No matter what happens, even with regard to what you may think of as fairly fortunate conditions, it is wise to remember that you will gain nothing at this time without the loss, either now or in the future, of something more valuable. Overwork and stress may pose a serious health problem to your heart or spine.
