2014 Solar Arc
The obvious connection that you have here expressing (1) your difficulties with work and (2) your other personal difficulties (e.g. health) stem from the conjunction of SR Saturn to your natal ascendant and in a quartile aspect to your natal midheaven. You also have SR Saturn forming a trine to your natal Venus (general difficulty with relationships). You have had your SR midheaven directed to your 12th house and the SR Sun is in a tight conjunction to your natal Jupiter, both of which are in the 12th house. Of particular note in the latter situation is that the SR Sun will be directed to form an opposition to your natal Pluto in the 6th house, which should occur in approximately six months, so later summer/early fall you will find this situation activated for yourself. (And as an aside, I thin this is going to be approximately the time where you could find that your health will be in such a state that you might go on social security disability.)
Noel Tyl who is the guru on Solar Arcs only uses conjunctions and squares, I tend to go by this myself IF i use Solar Arcs at all given each planets moves 1 degree = to 1 year. I feel more serious health issues are still roughly 2 years out although I do see health issues this year generally, both T Neptune to Uranus and T Saturn to N Mars, neither are aspected in my natal chart so I don't expect it to be too serious given it's not in the natal promise. Progressed Sun has technically been conjunct Jupiter and Opposing my Pluto since March and June of 2013. I have absolutely felt their affect too although again My natal Sun to Pluto are trine, which helps and of course N Jupiter is opposing Pluto.
Additionally, you have SR Jupiter in the fist house, forming a trine to your natal midheaven, which is auspicious, and is already portending the possibility of a trip somewhere. This could also be said in relation to SR Mercury forming a trine to your natal north node in the fifth house.
Moon is also in my Solar Return 9th this year so yes, I feel some travel is coming. T Jupiter will trine natal Jupiter a couple more times, I think this will be when it happens.
Of particular concern is SR Pluto forming a sextile to your natal midheaven and your natal Uranus. I will definitely be keeping that in mind. Incidentally, your natal Uranus forms a trine to your midheaven from the sixth house of health, with Virgo in the house, and that definitely points to your selling technology of the health related services as a career. Something like that might happen again.
I
am not opposed to health related field just nothing ever again to do with going into surgery or hospitals of any kind. Plus with Progressed Sun conjunct Jupiter in the 12th opposing Pluto, it seems like it would be a struggle. Now, calling just on doctors offices I would be OK with or nursing homes in some capacity. Also, Veterinary medical sales(fits the 6th) would be OK although I did that before and didn't care for it much but I worked for a distributor so maybe a manufacturer would be a better fit.
In summation, you have potential for a lot of things to occur here. It is apparent that you are having difficulty in your career and will be experiencing a major transformative event in that regard with the outer planets so convened. This could also herald a positive, albeit transformative experience, in your career, that you might be doing something you never dreamed of doing but would still be along the lines of health field matters. In another sense, you are going to have a larger growth period this year, perhaps what some would call a spiritual development, but I also think that you are going to have other health problems, too. The signs are all there for such an event to occur with Pluto natally placed in your 6th house forming a sextile by SR to your sixth house Uranus. I see a very unusual health incident that will take you by surprise, which should come to fruition by summer/fall as the SR Sun moves to oppose your natal Pluto while still conjoined to your natal Jupiter.
Robert Hand has always told me even with challenging transits a positive outcome is possible and in there somewhere, you just have to work a little harder to make it happen. Celeste Teal gives examples of working with difficult transits in positive ways. Transformation sounds great to me. The health concerns, working with animals in a health related way would be a good way to work with that. Volunteering my time to animals or the elderly could be another way. I would love to find myself in a field doing something I never dreamed of!
And for a more detailed look at these events, I can see on major event that will be occurring in March, and you can time it to the T by looking for the New Moon in March. The New Moon will herald a major event because you will have transiting Saturn applying by square to Mars, your chart ruler, the sixth house and also ruling the 8th house (along with Pluto). Saturn will be in the 8th house. At the same time you will have Uranus forming a semi-square to Jupiter in the 12th house, and Jupiter forming a trine from the 4th house. This will form the same contact to your SR Sun in the 12th house. I can’t help by think that you might have the beginning of a health problem at this point. I can’t say what the nature is but there is definitely that theme. You will also have the transiting grand cross of Mars, Pluto, Jupiter and Uranus, forming semi-squares, sesquisquare, trines and sextiles to the 2nd/8th house axis. Not to be an alarmist by this is either going to have some major effect on your personal finances but also, potentially, an "issue" with a relative, perhaps something to do with an inheritance.
Humm possibly, although I feel April 23rd is going to be a bigger event potential - the T Cardinal Cross all the planets will be at 13 degrees Cardinal and the Solar Eclipse at 8 degrees Taurus. They are all angular in my chart technically including both Lunar and Solar Eclipse in April. These past few Solar Eclipses have all been around relationships and I think these will also be. I don't have any planets at 13 degrees Cardinal, however if you change my natal chart Francisco to Vista, CA where I now live, it moves my angles to 12 degrees Aries. I am curious if there will be anything significant. The Solar Eclipse at 8 degrees Taurus will Square Mer/Sat in my 11th, the last one my friend passed away and will also Trine Pluto. Maybe finances but we will see I suppose. It could coincide with my unemployment running out although I haven't gotten yet even though I was approved. I have make up checks coming and that time is about when it will run out.
There are a couple of other events that I can see, which is transiting Saturn activating your natal Moon in the fourth house, which will occur during the month of July to the beginning of August. I have a feeling this touches on that change in your home environment. Will you be moving out to your own place? I think you might find someone or have some significant change in your relationship status at this point when Mars and Jupiter in square conjoin and square your direct Pluto in the tenth house, both of which will aspect your natal midheaven and Venus shortly before. I think this is sign of financial support from a mate or even from the government. It could be one of the two, though I think it will be from someone you might be involved with. I think it could be (1) you are on governmental assistance (2) you are joining forces with a lover/mate or (3) you are in a new job, which will be providing you an income. And if you do get a new job, it will be doing something similar to what you did before because of your inclination for technology of a health related field as a career (maybe something to check into).
Gosh, I just don't see a move....Solar Return Saturn in the 4th usually points to staying put. But never say never!!! I will have to wait and see.
Other than that, there is nothing else that stands out. It’s actually somewhat of a quite year for you in this regard, except for the difficult aspects. I do think that promise of a vacation or long trip will manifest itself in January of 2015. I think that will be something for you to look forward to. It might even be a business trip!
Primaries
I had to adjust the primaries for you using a slightly different key for you, using mundane positioning. But I think outcome is remarkable considering your history. (Note that I will just give a general, superficial history here, but you can see the relationships by association through sign, house and general signification in your chart.) In 2009, when you lost your job and lost your love, you have the Sun conjoined your natal Mercury, and the Sun, aside from its natural signification, is in your tenth house. I imagine that there were other indications for the difficulties at that time, too. In 2010, when you lost your home, you had Uranus on your natal Moon. In 2011, when your father died, you have P Moon in a quartile to your natal Saturn, which shows the death of your parent and the move in with your mother because of a loss of home (fourth house/Moon). In 2012, you acquired a new job and boyfriend, as shown by the P Jupiter in conjunction with your natal Sun. In 2013, your health problems showed in the Uranus trine Jupiter, which portends to the situation by rulership and location. The new job and new relationship occurred when the Sun was trine to the Moon, and then you lost your friend, job, etc. when the Sun quartiled Saturn. As such, I think I have found the key to show general themes in the future for you.
As such, this will be a year of confusion and seeking, as you have P Mars in trine to natal Neptune. It’s also on the cusp of the 8th house, and as another possibility, there might be an issue of surgery or hospital work as Neptune co-rules your Pisces in the 12th house. This happens to coincide with the solar arc directions the the New Moon event.
Progressed Mars will never trine Natal Neptune as it's retrograde in the progressed chart as well. The only aspect progressed Mars is making is an opposition to natal Mercury, soon a trine to my natal ASC, and eventually a trine to Natal Venus.
Solar Return of 2014
Once again, health issues surface as you have the 6th house of the natal chart rising. I also keep seeing this emphasis on education because of the solar eclipse in the 3rd house and the lunar eclipse in the 9th house. I have an idea that it means something else. You have SR Saturn on the IC axis, once again (1) highlighting continued difficulties for your career (opposition to the MC) and (2) a change of situation in your home life. Perhaps with the eclipses in the 3rd/9th house axis, you’ll be moving again.
I hope my mother will be OK....she's had problems with her hip and had a replacement last year but still has pain. Also, she has diabetes and high Cholesteral. She has Late degree Sun and Mer in Scorpio and late degree Taurus Moon. Thankfully the actual hit to her planets from T Saturn moves on pretty quickly I believe. I wouldn't be opposed to going back to school but not interested in years of schooling as I am too old at this point.
What wasn’t emphasized substantially in the other chart, that being romance/relationships, is really emphasized in the solar return chart by a focus of planets in the fifth house. Mars is playing a very strong role here, as in the solar return chart it conjoines the cusp of the 3rd house and the natal conjoined the solar return ascendant. It is in the 12th house. This also brings in the first house, the third and ninth house and fourth house. Saturn forms a quartile to the ascendant and Mars rules the fourth in the solar return and the natal eighth, as well as the first. It also rules the 9th house in the solar return.
I think T Pluto/Jupiter and maybe even T Uranus to my natal Moon could be romance since it also rules my 5th house. I also feel later when T Saturn conjuncts Natal Venus it might not be as bad since Venus rules my 7th and Saturn is the almuten.
General outlook: This is going to be a difficult year for you, Vista.
I’m think that this might occur:
- A change of residence/home life
- Health problems for your self by over-exertion/stress, perhaps even a hospital stay and/or
- Your mother’s health may be having problems and this could create a difficult situation
- I see this also as being a time where you will (1) be making new friends and relationships/networking and (2) be dating—but with nothing significant occurring.
alternatively
- rather than something worse occurring, it just means more of the same because it matches, generally, the previous events.
The progressed midheaven will conjoin natal Mars in late March (approximately), which happens to coincide with the major even I mentioned in the solar arc directions.
Ugh! I didn’t want it to come out this way.
I feel like this is negative.
I’ll have to look for some good news, but these seem to be the salient astrological factors. I think, as a potential positive, that in August 2nd or 3rd (and around that time), when that SA Pluto is activated by transiting Jupiter and Mars, you’ll have that “ah ha” moment and find that new job.
I will keep looking periodically and see if my intuition hits on something else, something positive or different to what I have already said.
