Career prospects for rest of the year?
Career prospects are about the same as any other area of your life. Overall, your prospects are best until your birthday, after which (since you will be near your current location) everything becomes more difficult. This "greater struggle" could, of course, be that you are working hard at a job. There are worrisome times in December (some sort of crisis around December 5, reaching two to four weeks before and after) and then again next April-May.
Looking at finer periods of time from now until the end of the year, your best time is around August 1. Transiting Jupiter comes within a few minutes of opposing natal Mercury at its station. Under Jupiter transits to Mercury, people favor you more, your words and ideas are well received and appreciated (and often profitable). It is overall advantageous for thought, travel, commerce, and communication - a good time to promote yourself.
I'll take a quick look at your lunar returns for the period. In what follows, if I mention a full lunar return (SLR) it will operate from
one day before the date given until
four weeks later. If I mention a demi-lunar return (DSLR), it operates from one day before until
two weeks later. If they overlap and disagree, both somehow have to express themselves. I'll give short assessments of each.
SLR May 26. This isn't the four weeks you are likely to succeed, but it's a good time to start preparing yourself. Natal Jupiter is strong but not transiting Jupiter. Transiting Sun and Neptune are strongest (but not
very strong). The basic idea is that you bring your best and get a poor reception. Things are confused, signals are mixed. Sun opposite your Saturn 0°01' means that your doubts (and perhaps self-sabotage) prevail.
DSLR June 10. Continues the Sun-Saturn pattern. Things go wrong, communications don't get through, people aren't listening to you, you're ready for a change and feel you can't "break out." Be patient. Keep "going through the paces" to set things in motion for when better charts hit.
SLR June 22. Jupiter strongest, plus natal Neptune. A mix of conditions: There are
really fortunate indications (Jupiter to your Mercury, natal Jupiter-Uranus) that likely bring
objective positive opportunity, though you likely feel anxious, uncertain, frail, vulnerable (Neptune to Sun, Sun to Neptune). Try to make good use of the genuine opportunity and not let worry and doubt get in the way.
DSLR July 7. Moon-Mars and Mars-Pluto show you more combative, reactive, feeling stressed. Don't break anything.
SLR July 19. Mars is strongest, plus natal Venus, Saturn, and Pluto. First impression is that this will take more energy: It could be challenging because you feel attacked, or challenging because you have hard work to do. There seems to be
personal disappointment, some kind of emotional hurt or loss. - This IS the period of the Jupiter station opposite your Mercury, though: Everything I said above about the transit applies.
DSLR August 3. It's good that you have that very strong Jupiter transit, because this demi-lunar shows a rough two weeks. It
might just mean very hard work, but the simplest interpretation is that something important gets taken from you and it's a serious blow. (Transiting Saturn, Pluto, Mercury, and Sun; natal Mars and Pluto; with a Pluto-to-Mars aspect foremost.)
SLR August 16. Jupiter is moderately strong (plus natal Moon, Mercury, and Mars). The strongest aspects are Jupiter to your Mercury plus your natal Moon-Mars square. Things are mostly positive, advantageous - the world treats you nicely. You are aggressive and maybe too quick to react to things: If you don't let anger get in the way, you can use your aggressiveness to your advantage, working hard, being very busy, etc.
DSLR August 30. Transiting planets are positive: Mercury-Jupiter is the most important aspect, which is positive for things like employment, communication, "selling yourself." Mercury to your natal Neptune, so be
careful and clear in all communications, make sure you know the facts rather than relying on inference or fiction. (Sorting fiction from fact is more challenging right now, but things look objectively positive.) - Mars opposite your Saturn is very close but in a really weak part of the chart: There is conflict in the air but more as a backdrop to what is going on in your life.
SLR September 12. Jupiter is quite strong (and Saturn quite weak). This necessarily shows four weeks that, on balance, are much more positive than not. Positive employment-related aspects occur (Jupiter to your Mercury, Mercury to your Sun); but the loudest theme is confusion, poor communication, probably heightened anxiety, things seriously misunderstood, distorted facts. (Mercury-Neptune is the most important aspect: It lands on your natal Sun, Mercury, and Neptune, plus a natal Sun-Neptune pattern.) I
think what this means is that the confusion, miscommunication, misinterpretation, and consequent anxiety cause chaos and uncertainty, but something (the Jupiter) resolves the anxiety and calms this at the last minute. You have helpful aspects from Sun to natal Jupiter-Uranus: These reinforce and strengthen my sense that something helpful resolves a hurtful situation (probably at the last minute).
DSLR September 27. It looks like the SLR's difficulties got resolved in the first two weeks, or will get resolved right about the time this DSLR sets up. A close Sun-Jupiter opposition tips the scales positive. (Your Moon-Mars strong makes you feisty.)
SLR October 10. You're on a strong run of Jupiter, though this time it joins many mixed influences; and your natal Sun is strongest this month. I like the
Mercury-Jupiter aspect (positive for people listening to you, the working of your mind, your ideas being favored). I don't like the
Mars-Neptune aspect (something physically or emotionally toxic, feeling threatened and intimidated). In between, Jupiter to your Neptune continues to show something positive to ease (if not remove) anxieties, something healing and reassuring.
DSLR October 24. Your Jupiter-Uranus square is strongest (with some Sun). Transiting Jupiter and Neptune are strongest (but not very strong). This means that the tone is positive but most of what's going on is inside you. These planets show more self-esteem, a sense that conditions are lighter, that you can relax a bit. Two aspects are most important: Transiting Jupiter opposes your Sun, a mark of conditions being positive, better overall, added esteem (sometimes a promotion). Neptune aspects natal Sun-Jupiter, which means it's not clear what will happen next, where things are going after this two-week period.
SLR November 6. This one is rough. Saturn and Pluto are
exactly angular. Your natal Mars is strong. This looks like something knocks you down, takes from you, hits you hard. Either you retaliate aggressively or your aggressions (starting a fight?) sets it in motion. We all have bad times interwoven with good times, and this is one of the bad times for you. Pluto on your Mars usually shows some form of extreme strain, and can be emotionally explosive. You're not very cooperative and may not want to take direction. - Not only is your Mars strong, but your Venus is very weak: Try to make sure you have some friends on your side before going into this period (even if it doesn't seem natural at the time).
DSLR Nov 20. The hard pressure of the SLR has backed off, things are
better, but they aren't GOOD yet. Mars-Neptune is still the strongest aspect: This is intimidating and toxic. Furthermore, Mars and Jupiter both aspect your Sun, so there is a mix of favorable attention and good conditions (Jupiter-Sun) and a sense of being pushed hard, challenged, possibly
feeling attacked (Mars-Sun). My best guess is that this means coming out of the early November crisis with
a good opportunity in bad conditions that still feel threatening.
SLR December 3. With Venus, Mars, and Neptune strong, conditions are emotional, passionate, strong emotion. Your natal Uranus is strongest - your need for renewal and change is very pronounced - and your natal Jupiter is strong (among other planets). Aspects are mixed, could mean many different things, but the consistent pattern is surging, strong emotion. Especially, you are prone to have positive expectations and fantasies that are disappointed. (It's not clear what area of your life this is in. It could be romantic idealism and disappointment, or it could be in some other area, maybe many areas, including your employment.) With Mars to your Jupiter-Uranus and Neptune to your Mars, my best advice is to be sure that your own ethics are solid and you aren't cutting ethical corners, cheating "just a little" - instead, keep yourself especially clean and honest to navigate this most successfully.
DSLR December 18. The year doesn't end well. You have only two planets on angles, transiting Saturn and Mars, and they are very close. No natal planets are angular. In simple terms, Saturn and Mars hurt. This could be as physical as an accident or injury, or could be a serious confrontation. The world doesn't look favorably on you. Also, since no natal planets are involved, the lunar return itself is more like a "new natal chart" for two weeks, so you're also contributing to the conflict or difficulties. Be careful!
