Joseph Polansky - Your Personal Horoscope 2016

Last month, on the 22nd, the planetary power shifted to the Western, social sector of your chart. The planetary power moves away from you and towards others. Personal power is lessened because less is needed. Your good comes through other people and their good graces now, not because of your innate abilities or through personal initiative. Your social graces are the important thing now. Let others have their way – so long as it isn’t destructive – and your own good will follow naturally. It is now more difficult to create the conditions you desire. You can, of course, but it will take greater effort. Now, it is better to live with the conditions you created in the past few months and make the best of them. If you have built well, life is pleasant. If there are flaws in your creation, take note and when the planetary power shifts back to the Eastern sector next year, you’ll be able to make the changes that need to be made.

On the 22nd the Sun enters your 5th house and you begin another of your yearly personal pleasure peaks. This is party time. A time to enjoy life, a time for more leisure and recreation. You’ve been having fun the whole year, but this month even more so. With your financial planet also in the 5th house all month, you have the wherewithal to enjoy yourself. In fact, happy financial opportunities will come as you enjoy your life. Perhaps you meet an important contact at the golf course or theatre, or at a resort.

Children and children figures in your life are prospering and seem supportive. If they are very young, they motivate you financially. Speculations are favourable until the 30th. Avoid them afterwards. There are nice paydays from the 20th to the 24th and from the 26th to the 28th.

Health is greatly improved after the 22nd. The Earth element is strong this month from the 22nd onwards and this is comfortable for you. Love is much happier than last month – especially from the 5th onwards.

With two eclipses happening, the month ahead is turbulent and eventful. Aside from the eclipses, Jupiter makes a major move this month from your 5th house to your 6th house of health and work on the 10th. The party is winding down; it is time to focus on your work, on being productive for others. It’s like going from being the playboy or playgirl to being the servant. A shift in psychology.

Service, say the sages, is love in action. There are other, hidden, pleasures in productive work and serving others that are not found in the theatre or night club. This is a time (and it continues well into next year) where you explore this.

Jupiter’s move into your 6th house is great news for job seekers. A dream job awaits you. It’s not going to be ‘just another job’, but something really wonderful. Even those of you who are already employed will have new and better job opportunities coming. Jupiter is going to show you how to be more productive in your work. Generally new technology or systems come that do this.

The solar eclipse of the 1st occurs in your 5th house and impacts on children or children figures in your life. They experience life-changing kinds of dramas. Sometimes they are quite normal – like sexual awakening, or graduation – but these are still life changing. Good to keep them out of harm’s way during the eclipse period. Those of you in the creative arts make important changes to your creative work. Family members tend to be more temperamental during a solar eclipse and need more patience. There can be dramas in the home, with family members and with a parent or parent figure. Flaws in the home are often revealed under this kind of eclipse and often repairs are needed. This eclipse impacts on two other planets – Mars and Saturn. It is always a good idea to reduce your schedule during an eclipse period, but with the ruler of the 8th house involved it becomes even more important. This can bring encounters with death – not literal death but close calls or brushes with it. Many of you will have dreams of death during this period too. This is just a gentle reminder that life, here on earth, is short and it is time to get serious and do our job. With Saturn involved in the eclipse, foreign travel is best avoided – reschedule trips for a better time if you can. Students at college or post-graduate level make important changes in their educational plans.

The lunar eclipse of 16th occurs in your 11th house. This creates disturbances in professional organizations you’re involved with. It will also test your high tech and phone equipment. Make sure important files are backed up and that your anti-virus, anti-phishing software is up to date. Cars will also get tested during this period.

Most of the planets are still in the social Western sector, and Venus (a very important planet in your chart) is in your 7th house of love until the 18th. So, you’re right in tune with the stars. You’re putting others first, you’re there for your friends and the current love. You’re basking in social popularity. This is a very nice month for love. On the 23rd the Sun moves into your 7th house and you enter a yearly love and social peak. A very active social month.

All of you seem more aggressive in love these days. You’re not waiting for the phone to ring but are proactively shaping and creating the social life that you want. If you like someone they know it. You’re not playing coy. Existing relationships are more harmonious and romantic. Singles have very nice love opportunities all month. Love opportunities are still found in educational or religious settings – just as they have been for some years now – but family and family connections are also playing a role here from the 23rd onwards. There will be more socializing from home and with the family. An old flame can be back in the picture, but most likely this is only in order to resolve old issues.

Mars travelling with Pluto from the 18th to the 20th inflames the libido. Both you and the beloved need to reduce your schedules and avoid confrontations and high stress situations. It will be a good idea to take it easy from the 27th to the 29th as well. Parents or parent figures should also do this. There can be some disturbance in your industry or company over that period.

Prosperity is strong this month too. A nice payday happens over the 11th and 12th. Children or children figures in your life also have a nice payday then. Speculations are favourable. Your social connections play an unusual role in finance all month. You have the kind of aspects of someone who likes to do business with friends and who likes to socialize with those you do business with. A partnership or joint venture opportunity is likely this month.

Neptune spends the month camped out on an eclipse point (the solar eclipse of September 1). This indicates dramas in the lives of friends and perhaps the testing of a friendship. Like last month, make sure important files are backed up and your anti-virus software is up to date.

Give more attention to health matters after the 23rd. Overall your health is good, this is a short-term issue. As always be sure to get enough rest. If you feel under the weather a good night’s sleep should solve the problem. You can enhance the health further by paying attention to the colon, bladder and sexual organs until the 18th, and to the liver and thighs after that date.
