TYPES OF PLANETARY CYCLES

 

Mixed and stressful cycles cause major changes in life. They are periods that lead to turning points in life. The way you react to challenges, decisions, and the sum of your choices will indicate the way your future life will be.

Mixed

A planet is 0 -3° distance from your Sun and of all cycles it is the one that has the greatest effect.
This position can indicate positive as well as negative events, depending on the position of the sun at the time of your birth.
Nothing will be as before when the effect is over.
Some of you will never experience the Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto mixed cycles during your lifetime.

During the 3 years that the table of predictions covers, mixed cycles are active for those born in the sign of Libra, Scorpio, and Sagittarius (Jupiter), Pisces (Uranus), Sagittarius (Pluto), and Aquarius (Neptune)

Harmonious

The planet is 60° or 120° distance from your Sun sign. That indicates an amicable relationship between planets.
This distance helps, because it leads to new opportunities, and stabilizes your life. But you need to be active because such an influence does not lead to greater changes, and often causes the sense of complacency, even laziness.

Stressful

The planet is 90° or 180° distance from your Sun sign.
This distance creates situations in which you cannot stay passive. Events may occur that will bring you greater responsibilities, barriers, or withdrawals, or you will have a hard time deciding on how to proceed. The purpose of stressful planetary relationship is to test your decisions in life or to change them. You will have to make changes in the aspect of your life where you feel the greatest tensions in order to increase its quality.
The Sun is a symbol of authority, career, and employer; father, brother, children, for female it is symbol for husband, and your life force. In the period of stressful cycle activity of any planet these symbols will be susceptible to the influence of the passing planets and will be an indicator of where the change will occur and what type of the change it will be in your life.

Adjustment

The planet is exactly at 150° distance from your Sun.
Since this position has the narrowest range of influence, the planets must be exactly at this distance. This means that the effect will be felt only by a small number of people born at the time period listed in the table.
This creates frustrations that are not easy to resolve.
The planets in this position do not act harmoniously. You will have to give up something to get something else. Events you have no power of, or other people will force you to change direction in life. Adapt and wait for this period to run its course.
(Ask your astrologer to tell you exactly if you are under this influence).

Jupiter Saturn

Uranus Neptune Pluto

 

Jupiter

Jupiter, the symbol of long journeys, happiness, and life gifts needs 12 years to pass through all the zodiac signs. It can have the effect to increase some aspects of your life, be it economic, intellectual, or family-wise. If your Sun is in positively placed in your birth horoscope during the Jupiter cycle you will experience that your life is easier, you will find support and help when you look for it and also when you don't. If the position of your Sun at the time of birth is stressful in relation to Jupiter, then this planet will not bring your happiness.
The effects of Jupiter are different with older people. If a person is suffering for a long time, Jupiter may indicate her death as a symbol of the release of the spirit and its readiness for a long travel.

Mixed

This can be an extremely positive period in which you can expect status increase, pay increase, and meeting people who will do you good. Expect material or intellectual or some other type of gain. If there are no significant changes for the better in your life in your life during this period that is due to limiting effects of other planets acting upon you at the same time.
Pay attention not to exaggerate in your financial investments or programmed expenses and make sure that you have enough resources to see the project to the end. The relations with other countries, the law, scholarly or religious institutions are mutually beneficial.
Expansion is the characteristic of this position, so watch your diet and do not go overboard. Remember how you felt 12 or 24 years ago when this position was active. You will better understand the Jupiter cycle.
Libra sign through 2005, Scorpio sign through 2006 and Sagittarius sign through 2007 will experience Jupiter mixed cycles.

Harmonious

The influence of this cycle is harmonious, planets act in union and all you need is a little good attitude to use that. Creativity, optimism, and tolerance are on the rise and it will be easier to find a way out of problems.
This influence of the planets is not strong and it can make you feel relax, so you need to put in some effort in order to use the opportunities this short period offers you.
Persons of authority and from abroad are on your side, so the relationships with them are harmonious. Expand all your activities, business, financial, personal in a direction you wish.
Travel will bring new experience into your life. If you are in trade business this is a good time to visit an international trade fair, and if you are involved in science, this is a good time for congresses. Gaining extra weight is easy in this period, so watch your diet and generally be more disciplined in your habits.

Stressful

You need to learn how far you can go when faced with this type of energy. Your discipline and your powers of self control will be tested. You can make the mistake of overestimating yourself and think that you can do anything, and in that case you will attract events that will force you to reconsider and be more realistic.If you have trouble with the law, or the law needs to decide whether you are right or wrong in your dealings with another person, it is perhaps better to solve the matter with a compromise.

Adjustment

Difficulties arise due to overindulgence in the past. The tendency to live without a plan might cost you more than you think. Difficulties can arise in your dealings with insurance companies, banks, taxes, and generally in everything you need to put your signature on. Expenses related to children are a great burden at this time. Health issues are related to before mentioned excesses. Treat yourself with dieting and regular rest.

 

Saturn

The Saturn cycle is a symbol of the time of harvest. For many, it is also a symbol of difficulties, and for few it is a podium on which they will be given the award for their efforts up to that point.
Saturn needs 29 to 30 years to complete the entire zodiacal cycle and return to the same point where it was at the time of your birth. Saturn cycles are very important since only at 30 years of age does a human becomes adult in astrologic sense. The next Saturn cycle ends when a person is 59 - 60 years old. Saturn is related to KARMA, so the events occurring at the age
29 - 30 and 59 - 60 are also related to karma.
When these cycles are active, a crossroads of life are reached, and events occur that will force you to be more responsible and to live in a more mature manner. The path you will choose will affect your life for a long period.

Getting married, parenthood, the choice of school, military services…are frequent subjects at the time of Saturn cycles. Saturn is a cosmic reviser and stays in each sign for about 2 and half years. Every 5 to 7 years it will test you again and show you whether you are on the right path by bringing either rewards or difficulties.

Mixed
This position will have effect for about a year and can be extremely important for your career. Keep your eyes wide open and if you run into problems, it only indicates that you need to change something in that area. Everything that you have done up to this point is testes, and you will have to take responsibility for your actions in the past, whether they were good or bad. Saturn can make you pay for your mistakes. Most often this position marks a culmination of your business activities, more responsibilities, and a major change of direction in life.
Marriage, business partnerships, and the beginning of an independent business career are common in this period. Vital energy is low and existing chronic medial issues are getting worse. Your vision, spinal column, and arteries are the parts of the body most affected by the stress. During 2006 and 2007 Saturn mixed cycles will be experienced by people Leo rising signs. From September 2007 Virgo people will have to be ready for changes.  

Harmonious

This is a period of low energy. You will be disciplined and motivated for a harmonious relationship with the others. You can improve the business structure and get more work done due to better mental concentration. This is also a good time for long term projects. Both Sun and Saturn are symbols of authority – law, father, superiors at work, professor…
If you need support or and advice from these or some other older persons, you will receive it. You can use this energy to increase your responsibilities and to fulfill demanding requests in any area of your life because this is the time of the setting of foundations, and the time of planting the seeds.

Stressful

This can be a difficult period. You can experience loss, restriction, opposition, frustration, and low energy.
Realistic analysis of yourself can help your to understand why the currents events are happening and help you effect the needed changes. You have to accept the responsibilities and accept the obstacles because they show you where you are making mistakes. Be calm and eliminate the unsatisfactory areas, including persons that you are in conflict at the moment.
Don't rush because this is a period of obstacles and the feeling of giving up.
If you want to start something during this period, the beginning may be good, but the end result most likely will not be. The best way to use this energy is to solve and clear up all the remaining problems in private and business life (fulfill all your obligations) so that the next cycle is a fresh, new beginning. If you are on the right path this is the time when you can affirm yourself and be rewarded.
Physically you can feel tired and mentally depressed and think about giving up. 
This period often indicated loss, and people close to you might have health issues problem.
Male persons and authorities are not on your side. Your obligations to your parents are increased.

Adjustment
Difficulties are caused due to too many responsibilities at workplace. Problems with authority or employer are a possibility as well as responsibilities about children or a male member of the family. Difficulties with insurance, retirement funds, or shared property are possible. These difficulties affect your health, so supplement your diet with minerals and vitamins.

 

 

Uranus

Uranus is a symbol of unexpected events. It moves through zodiacal signs in cycles
of 7 years, this is also how long it stays in each individual sign, bringing revolution and change to each. It needs about 84 years to complete the zodiac, so that is how old you will be when it returns into position where it was on the day you were born.
At the time of stressful and mixed Uranus cycle, your life can be a scene of many unexpected events and freedom will be very important to you. You can change your surroundings and do things you have never done before.
On the positive side, you will be given new opportunities and new life.

Until 2011 Sun in the sign of Pisces, Gemini, Virgo and Sagittarius will be under the influence of Uranus as Uranus is astrologically in the sign of Pisces where it has a stressful effect on Gemini, Virgo, and Sagittarius.

Mixed

This is an explosive period which can bring both negative and positive activity in life.
Inability to remain calm, sleeping problems, or irritability can prevent you from accomplishing your goals. Hyperactivity, anger, problems with authority or with health is going to be the challenges of this period.
Unexpected situations can occur in any aspect of your life. Freedom will be of great importance.
Any aspect of your life – work, health, home, members of the family, or even your country can be affected. This is a powerful energy that, if misdirected, can in a moment destroy everything in its path.
Negative events can lead to dissatisfaction that will last for many years.
In this period you will be enabled to plan anything. Each new day can bring you a new surprise.
If you feel great tension in another aspect of life, that tension will become truly unbearable during Uranus activity. Keep you composure and you will be able to focus this energy into positive changes and at the same time avoid destructive results.
Psyche comes under the influence first. If you determine that you are not feeling well, seek medical help immediately and seriously consider what you need to do to reduce the consequences.

Body aura is changing and you are more sensitive to radiation (Sun, computer, cell phone…) This energy can be best used to improve business ventures and focusing the energy (with laser-like precision) only to resolve stress in the areas where it occurred.

Harmonious

This position brings excitement to your life. You will be given an opportunity to experience new things, meet new and interesting people or to introduce novelty to your business.
This is a good period for your career and with a little effort you can advance or move to conquer a new area. The changes you effect will be felt as an improvement of your life. Expect support in realization of your goals.
New techniques, studies, interests, and the philosophy of living will enrich your everyday life. Your significant other will have to adjust to you new interests or the desire for freedom.

Stressful
During this period it is important to know how and where you need to go. Great personal changes are on road, and you will not tolerate restrictions and routine as you did up to now. Partnerships and joint life with the others are the first areas under stress and only quality relationships will survive the Uranus storm. You might have regrets due to hasty decisions and the consequences might be irreparable, which you will see only the effects pass, and you have to face what you have done. New people that enter your life are there to teach you something new or to be a catalyst for the changes you are about to face. All rhythmic   functions of the body are under stress (breathing, blood circulation, heart), and such symptoms might also be evident in a person close to you. If that is the case, see a doctor immediately and do not underestimate such symptoms.
If you are a parent and you child enters this cycle of Uranus, try to understand that this is a period of the expression of individuality and rebellion against the authority.   Warn your child about the consequences and be more than a friend during this delicate phase of life. Wait until this energy is over before stabilizing the relationship.

Adjustment
As all other Uranus cycles, this one brings unexpected events related to children, work environment, the end of friendships, or leaving of friends. Electronic appliances that you are using can have more failures than usual at this period. Expect increased expenses due to their maintenance. To maintain good health try to meditate, seek isolation more often to keep calm, and avoid stress to which you will be more sensitive than usual.

 

 

Neptune

The effects of the influences of Neptune are sometimes hard to define. Most astrologers agree that the influences are mostly psychological, and that the change of character and the understanding of the material world come as a gradual process throughout the entire time during which the influence is felt. This process may last for about two years, even 3 for some people, as long as is the planet's travel through your Sun sign. Neptune travel through the entire zodiac lasts about 164 years. It remains in each sign for about 13 to 14 years.
Some zodiac signs will never experience its most powerful, mixed cycle. Neptune symbolizes illusion, disappointments, and fog. The statistics show that people whose Sun has a contact with Neptune experience the loss of energy, immunity, deception, depression, and the lack of direction in life. It is hard to clearly perceive others, and oneself. Negative effects lead to addictions of various kinds. It can be an addiction on others, alcohol, or other opiates, just as the addiction to cults. On the positive side, Neptune cycle increases creativity and has positive effect on people who are engaged in creative endeavors, or professions related to the sea, liquids, make-up, psychology, and health.

Until 2011, the effect of Neptune will be most strongly felt in people born in the second part (last 15 days) of sign of Aquarius, Taurus, Leo, and Scorpio.

Mixed Stressful

Physical and psychic energy is imbalanced at the time of Neptune influence. You will be more sensitive to infections and allergies. During this time you can easily acquire addictions. Avoid the use of medicines that are not prescribed by a doctor. Do not experiment with extreme diets. Lowering of immunity and body energy is a great danger during this period.
Be clear in your relationships and avoid misunderstandings. Do not enter any shady deals because that will bring you great problems as soon as this influence of Neptune ends. Associate only with people you fully trust and with which you can easily resolve misunderstandings.
This energy often leads to disappointment in others and the sense of surreal. The lack of clear perception of others and oneself is obvious. Fortunately, the effect is not long-lasting, so you will leave the fog and live more realistically in a year or two.
If you are elderly, this can also be a retirement period during which you will have to face a deeper meaning of life. 
If you are young, do not forget that this can be a first encounter with intoxicating drugs (alcohol, cigarettes, or narcotics), that, unfortunately, can lead to a direct path to a serious addiction.
Use this period to develop creativity through movies, art, music…
Females are going to be attracted to persons with Neptune characteristics that may be born in the sign of Pisces, artists, or people working at sea or in health institutions. In some cases that may mean a relationship with an addict.

Harmonious
This is a positive period when the creativity will reach the maximum, and for the artists this is an especially fertile time. If you don't take steps to improve your life that can only be caused by passivity, laziness or daydreaming which are often activated by this energy.
An increased need for spirituality is present and the usual way of life is not satisfying anymore. You will become more sensitive to the suffering and the needs of the others. Do not go too far in empathizing with such individuals and make sure you set clear limits for yourself.

Adjustment
There is a possibility of difficulties and confusion related to friendships, risky investments, or business in general.
You should pay special attention to your health because you are more prone to infections and allergies. If you are already ill, the symptoms might get worse.
Avoid sexual relations with passing partners because you don't know who you are dealing with, and since the danger of infections is increased, during the Neptune phase the diseases are even harder to diagnose and treat.

 

Pluto

Pluto is moving very slowly and it needs 248 years to complete the Zodiac circle. The time it spends in each sign is different, between 11 and 30 years.
Its influence is extremely powerful and brings changes in lifestyle, psyche, health, emotions, or some other aspect of your life. In political and mundane astrology (the astrology of the state), it is, along with Saturn, the primary indicator of instability or problematic events that might affect the world and the development of the population.
Pluto is the ruler of death and birth. Some parts of life will have to die to create room for new life.
Mixed and stressful influences are not easy to face, but that cannot be avoided in any way, and we'll have to deal with it just as the countless others before us had.
Values, opinions, and relationships that have been until now formed and the basis of life will be reevaluated. The pressure is immense and subtle. If you move in the right direction, Pluto's changes will make your life better even though it might not seem that way while those changes are happening.
Until 2008 Pluto will have the most effect on people born in the last 10 days of Sagittarius, Pisces, Gemini, and Virgo.

Mixed
This powerful energy marks the period of important changes in life, positive or negative, which depends on the way one has used energies up to this moment and on the position of the planets in natal horoscope. If you are aggressive, egotistical, and dominant, this energy takes your power away. If you are an honorable and considerate person this energy will give you power that you didn't have so far. In both cases a new beginning is ahead of you and it's based on the foundation you have been building since 1995. When Pluto finishes its trip through Sagittarius sign in 2008 you will have a completely new life.

Harmonious
The period of regeneration and transformations is ahead of you. You will feel stronger, full of energy, and capable of doing anything you want. In your business affairs you are on the right path to prove your abilities. You may get a pay raise, but also greater responsibilities. Your relationships will become stronger and this is a good period to change your residence. The body is resilient and you are ready to quit bad habits. It would be a good idea to start with regular exercise and use this energy to completely remodel your body.

Stressful
This period can be extremely difficult and profound changes are expecting you. Nevertheless, the effort you put in that direction will be proportional to invested energy and entirely worth it. This is a period of transformation that can bring a sort of death and rebirth into your life. Usually that indicates the death of the present way of thinking and behaving, including emotions and habits. Pluto will force you to change. Even if you are actively trying to change this will not be an easy time because even the areas of life that functioned well until now will be shaken by this energy.
Friendships, partnerships, and the career will also be caught in by the energy of transformation. Do not expect the others to understand what you are going through because the changes are mostly felt in the psyche. Shallow relationships will end.
Pluto's energy demands purification of the past to make room for the future. You can do it yourself by starting to clean your basement, attic, closets, and by removing objects that only have sentimental value for you. That can be painful, but as soon as you do it, you will feel better. Often this is expressed by tearing down of old and building of new, especially in the bathroom or sewer. As far as health is concerned, this is a period of problems with circulation or large intestine. Changes of consciousness are great. When the energy ends its effect, you will be a new person. New sentimental relationships have effect on the future, transforming the usual way of life and can leave deep scars in the psyche.

Adjustment
Disagreement about shared values, alimony, dishonesty in business setting, and dangerous events are frequent during the time this energy affects. Do not forget that the scope of this effect is very narrow so that the extreme effects it can have can only be ascertained by the analysis of a personal horoscope by your astrologer.
Do not travel and invest in the areas where there is war, or with people who do not guarantee the investments with their own property. Do not play games in business and private life because it will cost you dearly. If there are other stressful positions of other planets at the same time your health may be seriously hampered.
