Midlife Transits

All month you are scheduled to be your usual capable self when it comes to family and domestic matters. I’m not exactly going to say that everything will run like a well-0iled machine though. Mercury will go retrograde on the 10th and stay that way until the 30th. That may trip a few things up. And since warlike Mars will be stomping through your home and family sector, there may be a few times when you feel like fleeing the house. But the beauty of your chart is that you can. You’ve still got Neptune in your happiness sector (till early next year), and that indicates that you can escape when you need to.

Admittedly, you may end up escaping into your job, but hey if that works… You do actually have some fairly intense energy in your job sector, as Uranus in that part of your chart will be going direct on the 5th. Jupiter will be playing bumper cars with Uranus toward the end of the month, which could indicate a time of super-busyness just after Christmas. Uranus does tend to be a stress case and he loves unusual circumstances, so goodness knows what’ll happen at work when he starts playing games with Jupiter.

The other element of unpredictability for the month comes from a lunar eclipse in Gemini on the 21st. This is the sort of eclipse that can indicate sudden overseas travel or unusual events when traveling outside of one’s own country. Occasionally, it also signals the beginning of a process toward actually relocating to another country. For most, things won’t be that dramatic though. You may get an educational opportunity, a chance to teach or encounter some other circumstance that allows you to show off your intellect. You may also decide to drop some intellectual activity or course of study that just isn’t paying off for you.
