Hi Jessica – thanks for another fab article – love love love your website. I am currently buying an apartment and I’m trying to get everything signed before the 29th but it’s like walking through treacle. With my stellium in taurus (and with 3 factors in Scorpio) – Venus and mars at 00 taurus – with (some much dreamed of) change (fingers crossed!) on the horizon with my career – I’d be so very grateful for some advice. So much seems to be happening at the moment – and I’m not sure if I’m coming or going (… still trying to dance in the electrical storm… but some days it’s really hard!) x
The treacle is Venus Retrograde in Scorpio. I’m sorry you are being given the runaround, as they say in Australia. You also have Venus conjunct Mars at 0 Taurus and for the first time in your life, Uranus is going over 0 Taurus. Do you have the best advice you can afford? Uranus is the planet of sudden events, changes and unforeseen u-turns. Have you accounted for every possibility here? Uranus goes back to 0 Taurus in March 2019. So you actually have two things going on here. One is the weird Scorpio weather in your Eighth House of joint finances, and the other is Uranus (the revolution, the radical change) going over your Taurus stuff in the Second House of money and property (yours). The universe may be protecting you here. Why are you being blocked? Maybe because you haven’t covered off every single issue. See if you can get second and third opinions here and do a bit more research/homework.
hi jessica
looks like an interesting few months ahead. i have scorpio factors & plans for a move abroad which also involves finances & partners. does anything stick out in my chart?
If you’re doing all this with nothing signed or booked before 29th October then allow for delays or changes affecting the property move. Just make sure you have Plan B, C and D as not only is this common sense, you also need it for astrological reasons. Have options. Be super flexible.
Hi Jessica, thank you again for your incredible insight. I have Venus 23, Neptune 15, Panacea 17 and Psyche 10 in Scorpio. I am looking for opportunities to consult beginning mid to late January 2019. If I don’t have any firm agreement before the 29th., how does my chart look for discussions and outreach for possible agreements in January 2019. Thanks in advance!
Thank you. You can follow the trail that emerges now through January but just be aware of the fact that it will zig-zag. You may find technical issues, silly mistakes, the need to put ‘re’ in front of everything (reschedule, for a start) and all the usual stuff we can expect when Venus and Mercury spin their wheels. People may make promises and retract them, or you may find they say ‘No’ then change their mind to ‘Yes’! Do all you can before the 29th and get it in writing. Try to lock it in. Keep going from that point but just be aware of the need for super flexibility. January 2019 will bring massive reshuffles in your chosen work space or industry/profession with demotions, exits, promotions and power shifts. Find your chair in the game of musical chairs that month. You are strongly Capricorn/Virgo and we have intense Capricorn weather in January which will trigger your Tenth House of career and trine your Sixth House of workload.
Hello Jessica – congratulations on the all the astrology predictions – it is terrific to read.
The purpose of me contacting you again is – timing re launching my children’s project on the Internet (and being mindful of your various recent comments re the astrological weather). I would deduct – anytime from early January would be fertile ground?? Many thanks for your time, Elizabeth.
PS. I have loaded the answer from you for my initial question proposed to you way back in May 2017.
— May 2017
I am not sure how much of a hurry you are in, but you may want to wait until Saturn (slow, stuck, serious situations) is out of Sagittarius, which rules publishing – and that happens at Christmas. We then have most of 2018 ahead of us, until Jupiter (growth, expansion, optimism) moves into Sagittarius, so from the end of 2018 through to late 2019 you have that on your side. You have a lot of Leo factors in your chart which, as you know, rules children (and in fact J.K. Rowling, Beatrix Potter and Enid Blyton are/were all Sun Leo authors). You might want to figure out the rather repetitive karma with that while the Node is in Leo, 2017 through 2018, then take your leap in 2019? That year Jupiter in Sagittarius will also trine your Leo stellium – lovely timing – but it’s up to you, of course.
Thank you! You are right Elizabeth. Any time from January is fertile ground. You’ll notice fascinating new opportunities out there in the world of publishing, books, libraries and multimedia – also education – from November. It’s a big and welcome shift as Jupiter goes into Sagittarius and your Ninth House. We then hit Mercury Retrograde until we’re in the clear just after Christmas and from that point on you will see the open doors, find the keys and take the journeys that suit you best, in terms of entertaining and educating the young. Jupiter will trine every Leo pattern you have in your chart. Trines are easy flow – Jupiter is opportunity – and Leo of course is your role as Queen Elizabeth to a younger court.
Hi Jessica
I have a stellium in Scorpio can you see how this will affect my chart?
Nikki xx
Nikki, you have your Ceres Return at 6 Scorpio, which is a big deal. There will be an intense compromise, as yourself and he/she/they figure out who has control, how it is to be shared, and how to empower people or organisations, and also transfer power away from those who had too much of it. This takes place around November 26th, 27th and I also note you have Venus going backwards across 6 Scorpio, so she’s dancing around your Ceres too, with no final outcome until about December 13th. For a simple life try not to enter into any new arrangement (like moving with a lover or borrowing money from a family member) as you will have enough to cope with, just in terms of what is on paper in front of you, anyway. You’ll know exactly what the score is as November ends, but there may be a lot of spinning around until mid-December as what you or others might have assumed was in the bag months before, never truly was. Once you’ve created the new arrangement, just be aware that it has to be flexible enough to take changes, as Uranus moves to 6 Taurus and opposes your Ceres (she’s really big in your chart by 2019, look her up on Search) in July, August, September 2019 and April, May 2020. The final pass by Uranus at 6 Taurus is December 2020 through January, February 2021 so this is long term. Whatever you are agreeing to at the end of November has to be checked out by a financial advisor if possible and you need to get everything in writing and read the fine print. Why? The deal has to ‘take’ the revolution as in 2019, 2020, and early 2021 radical changes out there will have an impact on your arrangements with others. You need a ton of space and room to move around as Uranus opposing natal Ceres is all about the need to shift – and shift again. If you are curious have a look at Ceres and Uranus in your ebooks and elsewhere on this website.
Hi Jessica
Could you please look at my chart and advise of how this cycle could affect me?
Currently trying to sort out what seems to be a never ending issue with both family property and issues at work.
Thank you! Love your work.
Thank you. You were born with Pluto (control) at 1 Scorpio in the Eighth House of family property, finance, marriage and money, legacies and the rest. For the first time in your life you are going through Uranus (radical change) right opposite at 1 Taurus. It started just after May 2018 and the cycle will come back in March, April 2019 and very close by as he hits 2 Taurus in December 2019. You have quite a large signature in Taurus and Scorpio in your chart, so you live through your Second House of values and valuables, and your Eighth House of ‘other people’s money and property.’ What 2019 is really all about, is changing your values. This means putting a different price on things that money cannot buy. Uranus in Taurus is a revolution passing through and it’s partly down to the wider global economy with Brexit and so on. It has a ripple effect next year that reaches you, and you will do best if you are flexible enough that you can adapt to changing circumstances and change with them. Uranus opposite natal Pluto is really a challenge to your need to control things. You may find that it is better to just zig-zag rather than dig in. The transit passes, as you can see, but even now in October 2018, you are going through it, as Uranus has been passing 1 Taurus in the first half of this month. You may want to look up both Pluto and Uranus on Search, and also Second House and Eighth House, to see what is going on – check your ebooks too.
With four factors in Scorpio, I’m still not quite sure what it all means. The only situation I am in that seems about compromise is a long distance relationship. We are able to meet each other for 5 days starting from November 11th! I’m sure the “complication” factor comes in at some point. However, we both feel good about what is happening. Only thing, is that there is a possibility we might not see each other again until after Summer of 2019! It may not necessarily be a financial situation, but depending on where we end up next year, of course it can imply joint resources… that kind of thing. It’s definitely possible! Does my chart indicate this kind of thing, complicated long distance relationships? Funny thing is that we both value our freedom (I have Diana in Libra)… so it’s not necessarily a bad thing, as we are both quite busy individually.
Ceres has not entered Scorpio and your Eighth House yet so you’re a little early. You won’t know what the financial, property, charity or business story is until after 12th November. The long-distance relationship would only qualify if, in the second half of November, you start to talk about a house, apartment or sum of money. Far more important is the fact that this is an outstanding period for travel. In fact, 2019 is unforgettable. Without knowing the other person’s chart, it’s hard to say, but a logical outcome would be you moving over there, or your partner moving to you. Jupiter is on the way into your life with all his famous opportunities and big solutions and he’s in Sagittarius – foreign places and people – but also regional differences. You’ll love next year.
Hi Jessica I love this website too it’s brilliant for both learning and accuracy!! I have Cupido, Neptune & Ceres in my 8th house in Scorpio so Ceres is going to conjunct all of them at some point during this time frame. I’d love to know your opinion of that weather for me and when you say it’ll be ‘ the kind which is unforgettable’ not sure whether that sounds scary or exciting! My joint finances are potentially in an interesting place as my husband has launched a new business and our developer where our property is has just lost an ongoing dispute with our local council re planning permission to complete the small development we live in so loads happening re my 8th house.
Thank you very much. This all sounds very Eighth House – your husband’s new business, and the local property developer as well. You will have your Ceres Return in Scorpio when she passes 24 degrees of that sign, around January 9th, 10th, 11th 2019. That is a big deal and you will need to reach a compromise, likely with your husband, possibly with another person, about the best way to divide up the control with what you earn, own or owe. You have Neptune at 6 Scorpio and we obviously have Venus going backwards and forwards over that – she did it in September, does it again at the end of this month and once more around December 12th, 13th. Again, this sounds like your husband as Venus is the planet of sexual relationships. This is going to be a back-and-forth situation that won’t really resolve until just before Christmas and it may change shape along the way. Further ahead in time get the best financial advice you can afford about keeping it real. Why? Neptune is a symbol of a holiday from reality and in your Eighth House it is about finance, the house, business, apartment, possessions and so on. A classic example is credit card use. Another is a loan. A third is a property bubble. I can see Uranus reaching 6 Taurus in July, August, September 2019 and April, May 2020, then December 2020, January and February 2021. That is you being reached by the ripple effect of a radical new wave of change out there in the world economy. When that happens, you really don’t want your entire lifestyle and security to be based on a big bubble of illusion, so right now – with useful trends around you thanks to Jupiter – get the best advice you can afford. It may help to look up Neptune to see what he represents in astrology. Property bubbles in particular are something to be aware of. In general it’s not a bad idea to go over the paperwork with a magnifying glass and get a second opinion. Have a look at that property developer, please. Think as far ahead as 2021. This is a really useful time to sort this out!
Hi Jessica
I am taking this to heart and have just altered my travel arrangements to get back to the UK and push to have my house sale signed – exchanged before the 29th October ( unfortunately not completed until 26th Nov – I won’t be surprised if it drags on)
BUT more importantly to find a place to rent and sign the lease before the 29th ( I’m optimistic and aiming for this time next week – the 26th)
Feel it might also be affecting my biz launch, plus inheritance and separation/ relationship issues… phew!!
Any insight for this newbie will be gratefully received.
I’m sure you know the UK is wobbling in the Brexit uncertainty so even without astrology, sooner rather than later is a good idea with property and finance! The Scorpio weather will take you to January with ‘changes on the changes’ so just be aware of that with your house sale, new rental, business launch, inheritance and any issues with your ex, regarding the possessions, bills and so on. You may have to just be philosophical about an incomplete result, or something which is reshaped enormously later on. Get everything in writing and read it very carefully to see how much room you have to move on particular issues. What are you getting into? I’m really talking about your Juno at 4 Scorpio here. Juno is a symbol of commitment, and in Scorpio and the Eighth House this is a business, financial or property ‘marriage’ where you ‘wed yourself’ to something or someone. What I am looking at here is Uranus (unstable, unpredictable conditions) moving to 4 Taurus in 2019, right opposite your Juno. Thus, whatever you are pledging, or accepting as a pledge from others, must be flexible enough so that you can make changes if you wish to, and move around a bit – get yourself some space. Uranus will oppose your Juno in May 2019, June, October, November and then in 2020 in March. This is really a huge wave of change right around the world, so it’s not just you! Think of it as Brexit ripples or further afield, a global revolution in banking. From your own point of view, though, you need to ensure that whatever you lock yourself into has a key to unlock. You were born with Juno in Scorpio in the Eighth House and as she is Jupiter’s wife and a symbol of union, I do wonder if this entire situation is not just about your separation, or even a new property or financial arrangement you go into as the result of a relationship. In any case, have key after key.
Hi Jessica. Thanks for this article, although it has sent shivers of caution up my spine! I am awaiting money from an inheritance (cheque is in the mail so to speak) and I am hoping to put it away for 3 months on high interest, by the 29th October. After that I’m really not sure. Would this be a wise choice considering the Scorpio weather? I have Neptune and North Node within these degrees. I would hate to make the wrong decision as it has to see me through. Hoping you can advise me. Thankyou.
Your inheritance (cheque in the mail) is your Scorpio stellium – unusually high count of factors – in your Eighth House of legacies. You need the best financial advice you can afford when it arrives. Why? Because you were born with Neptune at 4 Scorpio and Uranus will slowly oppose Neptune at 4 Taurus in 2019. Uranus is the revolution. No need to have shivers of caution, but just be savvy. If you realise that Neptune is about what is not real – what is a bubble – what is an illusion – then you can steer yourself away from that kind of investment or arrangement. A credit card is a classic example. You think it’s your money and it’s not. Property is another good example – look what happened in Ireland! Astrology is just about awareness and navigation and once you get what Neptune in your Eighth House is about, you can be really proactive about avoiding burst bubbles when Uranus comes along at 4 Taurus at the end of May 2019, across June 2019, end of October 2019, and March 2020. Keep it real. So what you’re really dealing with here is much more than just the Scorpio weather, backwards and forwards until January. It’s the radical changes which Uranus in Taurus is bringing in. Read up on Neptune on this website and in your ebooks if you like, to get a feel for this planet and what is symbolises in astrology. It’s the holiday from reality we all long for, but when it’s opposed by Uranus, you have to have an anchor, light house and flag.
Hello Jessica,
You can se in my chart I have a Scorpio Stellium and I am wanting to make a move to another country which involves a man, money and finding work.
I also have a Sag stellium and you have offered me the advice before that next year will bring a lot of travel etc.
Is now a good time to be “Planting acorns” as you say, In regards to finding employment to have enough money to move?
Or should I wait until the new year when all this retrograde weather clears?
Thanks in Advance
Kane
Start now – Mercury is not yet retroshadow – and just bear in mind that the financial, property or business side of your life will be one version after another! You may find the actual game plan is just like a real board game, in that it’s a little random. Monopoly sends us back and forth. So will these retrogrades. The Sagittarius side of things is quite different. This hasn’t even started yet! You’ll feel the climate change next month (like sunshine) with all kinds of options opening up like sunflowers. Once again, make your move, but be aware that it will go back and forth along with Mercury in Sagittarius until we get to January. From January everything moves as it should. It grows straight and true after a bendy beginning.
Hi Jessica, I always look forward to your blog posts, they never disappoint. I have 3 factors in Scorpio; Bacchus, Pluto and Saturn, Right now there is complete indecision about what to do with our home and business, do we (husband & children) move/stay/change/quit/restructure… Increasingly I am reading on the website that I need to make a decision by the end of the month, yet no inspiration is coming. I’m sure it’s no coincidence that our lease expires in January, so I am feeing the pressure to make something happen fast. Do I just keep at it, any advice is most welcome. Is all this indecision the scorpio happenings, or the retrograde happenings? Sorry for the stupid newbie question, even though I do not have all the planets you listed in my natal 8th house, I am still affected by it? Thank you x
Thank you very much. Okay, so do you take your family somewhere new, or just reshape what you have? Family is ruled by Cancer and the Fourth House in astrology, along with property/moving. The business side of things (the money and work) is really a Scorpio and Eighth House matter. There is also another aspect of moving – almost emigrating, actually. Going to a foreign country or just a region of your own country which feels totally foreign to you. This is the Sagittarius side of things. Looking at your chart there a couple of things going on at the moment and I’m not surprised you are finding it difficult to decide what to do, even though you must be out in January. You have Pluto at 0 Scorpio in the Eighth House of marriage and money, but also Saturn at 10 Scorpio. Pluto is a symbol of control. Needing to run everything/be the boss is part of who you are. When it comes to the house, the business, the apartment and so on, you need to take over partly because you are so passionate (to the point of obsession). However…you also have Saturn there which is a symbol of tremendous caution, a bit of fear, some based on very good prior experience – you would have had your Saturn Return as you approached 30 and no doubt had to deal with very difficult and slow-moving situations affecting your security, lifestyle and finances. You have Bacchus at 5 Scorpio so it’s not always so intense – the marriage/money side of things can be deeply pleasurable – like investing in fine wine as a couple or mixing your lust for life with the business. Overwhelmingly, though, my eyes are on Uranus (the revolution) going to 0 Taurus, right opposite your Pluto. This has been happening on and off since May 2018. He goes back there in March 2019 and this is really a command to change. In every way. Outside factors will tell you that the old approach of trying to control everything, trying to run everything, needs to alter. This is a really good period in your life, just after March 2019, to be super flexible and very adaptable. My hunch is you will consider travelling extensively or going to a ‘foreign’ country or region. Why? You have a ton of Sagittarius factors in your Ninth House and Jupiter, which is the planet of opportunity and lucky breaks, is about to into Sagittarius next month. You will in fact have your Jupiter Return in the Ninth house, which is a big deal in astrology. Be aware of the ups and downs ahead with the financial, property or business side of things as Uranus opposes your Pluto – but (and this is a big but) do read up on the Ninth House on Search, and also on Jupiter, because you were born to explore and you are about to be given a fantastic chance to do just that in 2019. There will be delays and changes in November, December, but just after Christmas you are on your way. Deal with the March bump ahead of time by trying not to lock yourselves down too tightly or rigidly then so you can dance around when you have to and switch direction. Yet I do think 2019 is your year to get the map out – and a compass!
