Venus in Taurus made an opposition to Saturn in Scorpio at the exact moment of the Full Moon (it&#8217;s still exact within one degree). An astrologer would take note of such an aspect happening within a day of the Full Moon, and it would be pretty interesting if it were within a few hours. This one was timed to the minute, so the implication is that the two are so directly related as to be the same thing. If the Full Moon conjunct Pholus was a commentary on excess (or what in last night&#8217;s article I called pent-up, then explode), Venus-Saturn described caution and some austerity. Yet when aspects are extremely precise, their surface level meaning can sometimes reverse; hence with the Full Moon I was reading the potential resolution of pent-up\/explode and with Venus-Saturn, the ability to make contact in an understated way. I took this into account in the horoscope interpretations I sent out to my clients last night, just ahead of the Full Moon. How to sort this kind of information out is really a matter of figure-ground contrast, which one does a lot of when reading astrology. It&#8217;s similar to what a musician does when composing, or what a designer does with page elements and colors. For the mutable signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces), the Full Moon stood forward, since Gemini and Sagittarius were involved. For fixed signs (especially Taurus and Scorpio), the Venus-Saturn opposition came forward &#8212; and also for Libra and Capricorn. To get a more complete picture of how your interpretations for your sign work, I suggest you read all the signs on your cross.<\/p>\n<p>Here is how they are arranged. Most people are familiar with grouping by element (such as water signs Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces going together). This is another way to group the signs &#8212; the more meaningful and useful way, in my experience.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cardinal Cross<\/strong>: Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn<br \/>\n<strong>Fixed Cross<\/strong>: Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius<br \/>\n<strong>Mutable Cross<\/strong>: Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces<\/p>\n<p><em>I publish extended Sun sign and rising sign interpretations every week, plus monthly, in addition to providing other professional astrological tools for my clients.
