Nick covers two calls during the show each of
which has natal planets that tie into the cardinal
axis at 0 Capricorn, 0 Aries, 0 Cancer, and 0
Libra. These are phase points for the earth as
a whole that are being activated by the transiting
outer planets Pluto, Saturn, and Uranus. For those
of you who have planets in your natal chart at
or near one of these cardinal points, you know
the energy these points can manifest - especially
now.

The show is a bit shorter than usual, but Nick
still manages to take 3 calls from - as always
- very interesting people. While the cycles are
the same for all us, how we respond to them is
individual. We have choices - sometimes many and
sometimes few - in dealing with whatever life
presents us. There are no mistakes, simply choices
and their outcomes.

For a change of pace, Nick uses most of the hour
to speak about many things astrological including
the importance of knowing the time an event/birth
happens. He discusses cycles, the difference between
a natal chart, which is somewhat static, and the
transits that activate it periodically. He shares
some of the ways he approaches astrology as a
means to better understand life and lives. He
finishes with a caller whose life was changed
quite suddenly by a Uranus transit.

all with interesting perspectives at this moment

not, you likely can relate to what many of the

The Wesak full moon brings a lot of energy. Nick
talks about its significance as well as the significance
of any full moon - both at the beginning and at
the end of the show. He takes five calls from
a variety of geographical locations with each
caller sharing his or her unique experiences at
this moment. Pluto transits show up most, but
natal chart dynamics are also read. Also, I promise
one caller a recommendation for a good primer
on astrology. Although I have not read it myself,
Astrology for Yourself by Demetra George and Douglas
Bloch appears to be a well-regarded introduction.

The first of this cycle was on U.S. election day
- November 4th 2008. The fifth and final time
when Saturn and Uranus oppose each other will
be July 26th 2010. This opposition has much to

Nick looks at how we can create
our own reality by the choices we can make in
manifesting the energies of the planets. From
an astrological point of view, we all have a natal
(birth) chart and experience transits to our natal
chart throughout our lives. The planets will express
themselves, and there are a number of different
yet consistent meanings attributed to each planet.
We can choose how we want to experience each transit
and aspect in our lives.

that are the equinoxes and solstices. We do indeed
live in extraordinary times. He then takes several

Nick
begins the show with a look at the meaning of
Jupiter not only in the natal chart but also by
transit. The rest of the show is taken up by calls
from a number of listeners - some old, some new.
The emphasis is primarily on the transits to each
person's natal chart. Of course to understand
what is going on now, I will always refer to the
natal chart. Or to say it another way: Transits
have a general and universal quality but how each
of you responds to them depends on your own individual
way of viewing life.

Continuing
with his look at the planets and major points
of a chart, Nick discusses some of the many faces
of the Moon. And appropriately, the majority of
the calls have a strong lunar element to them
whether by transit or in the natal chart. He has
time for four callers. Pluto transits loom large
for two of them and thus Saturn as well - and
soon Uranus. The proximity of these three by transit
can represent a lot of pressure upon the lives
of many of us now and can also symbolize important
shifts in many areas of life.

wide range of topics from a number of callers,
including a young woman with a natal chart that
shows concentrations of exceptional energy. Of
course, many people have a chart like hers if
born around the same date, but how each one deals
with his or her energies differ. She seems to
have come to terms with her chart positively and
productively. The choice is always up to each
one of us as to how we handle our lives.

Mars in your birth chart. Mars is important in
the accomplishment of anything in life whether
it's a goal or resolving a conflict. He then takes
a caller who has a mixture of transits from a
very positive Jupiter going over her rising sign
to Saturn representing pressure applied to several
points in her chart. Another caller wants to know
whether it's a good time to go into a business
she has always wanted to pursue. It appears favorable,
following the life-changing conjunction of transiting
Pluto to her Sun. Finally, Nick ends the show
with more on Pluto, Saturn, and Uranus sequentially
activating the cardinal points of the zodiac -
points that have a planetary as well as personal
effect.

caller, who does not have her time of birth, wants
to know about whether the coming year is going to
be favorable, and we talk about an upcoming Jupiter
transit as well as a Pluto transit. The last caller
has experienced a series of difficult Saturn transits

Nick opens the show discussing the basic compatibility
between Mercury and Saturn. He elaborates on the
their present conjunction, especially in the context
of the Saturn/Uranus opposition and the lingering
effects of Mercury retrograde. His first caller
had been through a long Saturn transit over three
of her natal planets and her Ascendant in Virgo.
Saturn is well placed in her natal chart to take
advantage of Saturn's present placement by transit.
The second caller has a strong natal Saturn which
conjuncts his Aquarian Ascendant, providing an
interesting dynamic as the energies of Saturn
and Aquarius can be quite different in today's
world.

second caller - from the Philippines - is a psychologist
under a positive influence from Jupiter for her
business. Finally, Nick ends the show talking

An
interesting show with several callers from all
over yet connected astrologically. The topic Nick
selected beforehand was the Venus Uranus square
- exact today. He opened the show discussing the
planet Uranus and how it can signify change of
the status quo. He had 4 callers. The first wanted
to know if there was a time in the future that
might show a dissolution of her 40 year marriage
in which she is unhappy. The second wanted to
know whether her business would sell. With the
third, Nick discussed next month's lunar eclipse
on her natal Sun. And the fourth caller has had
difficulty getting a job, so the talk centered
around career and goals. What was interesting
is that each one had Uranus prominent in their
natal charts. Caller 1 has Sun opposition Uranus;
caller 2 also has Sun opposition Uranus with Uranus
on her Midheaven or 10th house cusp; caller 3
has Sun conjunct Uranus; caller 4 has Uranus conjunct
her Midheaven. It was a Uranian show today.
