Union makes an entrance into the sign of Leo where it will stay for the remainder of this year. Its current position in the house of established relationships in the ingress chart sets the tone for its extended stay. An emblem of the Sun’s fire, heat or creative energy, Leo endows creative power and stimulates the desire to take center stage. As the presiding ruler over actors, sports, entertainment, romance, pleasurable pursuits and financial speculation, alliances that are of the most interest may relate to these activities with concerns tied to children, lovers, self-employment, or your self-expression. Look to the house ruled by Leo in your natal chart to further clarify the nature of this association.
Happily, the arrival of asteroid Union could auger well for successful creative activity or a fortunate decision related to agreements or contracts. This suggests a lucrative business deal, settlement, or successful results achieved through your profession. On a more personal note, it may herald getting engaged, or an impending marriage or birth.
But the house of partnership is also one of open enemies and court cases, and the intent of some associations could signal marital differences, rebellion against guardianship, or against rules and regulations and superiors. In fact, the planetary influence reflects a connection to propagandists, jurists, writers on law, civil servants, government officials and possible ties to corruption.
Union is also making an uncomfortable aspect of adjustment to a retrograde Saturn residing in an area of this chart linked to personal income, resources, ability to pay debt, talent, possessions, and values. While in backward motion, Saturn arouses selfishness and a lack of respect for and resentment toward authority. In situations where one is operating under faulty protocols or building on less than a solid foundation, the structure is apt to collapse. Contributing to this downfall is the primary meaning of a Pisces Saturn–loss; of a job, authority, parent, status, or something you’ve had for a very long time. The stable conditions upon which you rely become subject to dissolution. (This is reflective in the possibility for a government shutdown as well as the striking workers.)
Alternatively, situations may involve great sacrifice or center on concerns surrounding long term care for the elderly, hospitalization, chronic illness, or depression. Some form of restriction or limited funding could cause you to have to change or adapt.
Interestingly, Union makes its appearance conjoined with asteroid Lust sitting on a point often referred to as “the millionaire’s degree” but which also signifies the end of a home or parental cycle. This might indicate a move to another home or moving to a new level of being that affects your interactions with others. Naturally, the effect of Lust is one of strong sexual desire, but can also be simply a very powerful feeling of wanting something–money, power, or whatever you deem to be of value. However, Saturn the taskmaster, is teaching you to adjust to limitations and delays. Unfortunately and in rare cases, for some, circumstances are interwoven with a loss of the lust for life and/or events that mark the end of a life cycle.
