HI Michael,
I have worked with astrology for over 30 years now and personalized charts are usually individual specificially for that person - I NEVER just go on someone's Sun sign, that is just one small part of their chart. Synergy charts are done for two people to analyze their compatibility but that is not the intent here.
The way I will be presenting these trends applies to ALL people, that is "the nature of the beast" for this column. All of the aspects listed apply to everyone. Yesterday was the New Moon - the perfect time for recording your intentions. The other three aspects, Venus, Neptune and Pluto retrograde also have profound influence on everyone and this will continue for the whole summer and even longer for Neptune and Pluto! So, I will continue to post those aspects until they move forward.
If I was doing your astrology chart though (chuckle, I am doing your numerology analysis as part of your prize - will be sending it by tomorrow btw <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> ) - I would look in depth at your Sun, planets, aspects, houses, etc. and how all of those blend.
Sorry, this got very longwinded but to sum up YES, these aspects affect every single person on this planet. My intent here is to give information on the global planetary trends and link those to the energy of the Tarot. Our Astro Host, Jennifer will oover more detailed analysis of the different signs, etc.
Thanks for your question, Michael - I am sure others had it too as they read the trends.
