A Cancer Heir to the Throne

Thank goodness Kate is a-ok as the Moon was in her Sign for her process of labor, which does bring the vitality of one’s energy and stamina down a bit. By now we have all now heard the amazing news that A BOY was born just shy of 32 minutes of the Sun changing into Leo. As we posted earlier, it was some on the edge of your seat astrology as we all awaited the news Will William and Kate’s Baby be Cancer or a Leo?

As we say a huge Congratulations to Prince William, Kate, and all the Royal Family, astrology strikes it again, at 4:24pm British Summer Time, as a 29-degree Cancer Sun Boy is now the third in line to the throne. With a 27 degree Scorpio Rising, wow, what perspective he will have to do so with a Capricorn Moon in his natal 2nd house. Kate, you truly have your new best friend, who will absolutely adore you like no one else, and William you too. You could not have a more harmonious child to come to two parents, and this one is from soul mate energies of the past, who now wishes to gel and blend amazingly with this life’s Capricorn Mom Kate and Cancer Dad William.

England’s new baby has a “loaded” 8th house, with all the Cancer planets (Sun, Mercury, Jupiter & Mars) in his chart here, guiding him with energy that is equally coming from the Scorpio inner world to express itself as a nurturing Cancer throughout the life. His identity, communications, drive, motivation, luck and fortune all rest here, but deeply come from a place that enjoys investigation, passion and will see transformations be a natural part of life’s journey.

The Grand Trine that collectively kicked off on 17 July is still close within his chart, which connects his natal Jupiter in the 8th house, to his natal Saturn in the 11th house, to what Neptune is doing in the 3rd house. What’s all that mean, you ask? That luck and fortune that will seek to nurture in powerful ways, easily allows this to happen amongst humanity, which will be the place he will need to be the most responsible to in his life. Should he resist this, restrictions resulting in dynamic regeneration where he socializes will keep presenting themselves. Yet with Saturn here so easily able to talk to Neptune in his thinking and mentality, the channel here has been ideally set up so he can connect back how to take his power and use it for the benefit of others within his groups and organizations in life.

This grand trine grants him quite the draw to not only long for mystery, see the bigger picture, and the unknown- but he’ll more than likely understand the value of having an astrologer on hand to guide him, unless he becomes one himself! His other innate ability is the incredible scope he will have to do so, as with that many natal planets placed in the 8th house, his soul is granted a most powerful way to see through the many layers in life while knowing how to organize them. Combine this with his Cancer Leadership, and you do have an heir to the eventual throne that hasn’t been seen in history quite like this before.

What an intuitive and powerful leader someday he will be! Another numerological note is the 27 on the Rising Sign placement, which is completely pioneering, courageous and poised for taking people to a better place, and he’ll be driven to do so over all he ever approaches in life. The 27 means The Sceptre, which specifically the Chaldeans said of it: “This is an excellent, harmonious and fortunate number of courage and power, with a touch of enchantment. It blesses the person or entity it represents with a promise of authority and command. It guarantees that great rewards will come from the productive labors, the intellect, and the imagination. All of these creative faculties have sown good seeds, which are to reap a rich harvest. People or entities represented by the 27 should always carry out their own original plans and ideas, and not be intimidated or influenced by the diverse opinions or opposition of others. 27 is a number of karmic reward, earned in more than one previous incarnation.”

Now while that may getting into a little deeper cross referencing than should be allowed here, more goodies from the numerological side of things are seen with this date of birth. Aside from being a natural born leader, he also is a Master Number, born to a 22 karmic path. The way he will lead will be innovative, different, and with originality. He is not favored to cast judgment upon others, for the sense of brotherhood and sisterhood is strong with a 22/4 channel. There is a strong humanitarian foundation that he came here to build, which is meant to come from the mastering of him uniting two sides within the life, allowing co-operation to reign.

While being that breakthrough leader, our new Cancer 22 heir will be walking the 35 Lifepath of Partnerships. Here’s where the karmic connection between the 4 and 8 comes into play once again. These numbers, whenever they do show up in one’s astrological chart, seem to follow one another around. While we are still awaiting the name of England’s new bundle of joy, we can bet it has some 4 and 8 vibrations waiting to tell us more. Along the 35/8 Lifepath however, what a soul will do is follow the tried and true, strive for stability, learn from their experiences, and spread a profound wisdom as they do so. While it is a given this child will not worry ever in his life about money or security, he has been given the reins to be able to counsel others in how to walk the path of responsibility within their life. And so will he, do the very same, especially backed up by his 2nd house Capricorn Moon that equally asks for security with all that is of value in the life.

Prince William and Kate will find as their caring Cancer Boy learns and grows, he will be super historically and family oriented, yet with a natal Uranus in the 4th house- this will insure he does “shake up the family” a bit. The way he will do things down the road will be eccentrically viewed for sure, and sometimes he will be viewed as misunderstood, because his ability to be the prophet for future trends and patterns bringing forward ideas that people may not grasp at a first glance. His intuition here 9 times out of 10, will be spot on. Couple that with the 22 karmic path and he’ll become an enigma to those that really know him. This one’s here for humanity, where his visions and prophetic abilities will be exactly what the world will need by the time he reaches the throne. We are sure he’ll let us know just what he can do long, long before that.

And to think, I, your author,  will be able to see this in my lifetime, when I am still reading charts at 90 years old, I will remember this day for sure when our new Royal Baby will be approaching 50. We look forward to the announcement of the official royal name, so we can dive into some Lexigrams and see what potentials can be derived from it as they always affirm, what’s really in a name.

Again, to be continued….
LISTEN to Sharita on VISIONS, CBS Radio talk about The New Royal Baby with Barbara Mackey 22 July.

Will William and Kate’s Baby be a Cancer or a Leo?

SharitaStarlogo13Talk about edge of your seat astrology! Will William and Kate’s Baby be a Cancer or a Leo? If the Royal Bundle is born prior to 11:56am EDT, then we’ll take the Cancer at the 29 degree mark. At 11:56am EDT and after, 0 degrees Leo would be the sun sign. The Moon is still at 29 degrees Capricorn until 2:07pm EDT, and the Full Moon peaks minutes later at 2:16pm EDT at 0 degrees Aquarius. Hmmmm. With Kate being a Capricorn, and William being a Cancer, we agree with Astrologer Eileen Grimes, the Mom/Dad connection there is too strong not to follow astrological suit. But time is a ticking away here!

Only thing we can wager via tossing in some Lexigrams is KATE MIDDLETON, TIED TO A MAIN LEO KID…. oh what will happen next? Her name spells out LEO KID, while oddly, PRINCE WILLIAM, A REAL PRIME CANCER, but that is really just about him. Wow though, is this one down to the wire!

Considering the connection that William and Kate have to the 29, being this is the anniversary date of The Royal Wedding, one may not be surprised here.  Another interesting thing we noted from Kate’s birth name also uncannily is telling the story of our present day:

CATHERINE ELIZABETH MIDDLETON

AT A TIME THAT CATHERINE MEANT TO BIRTH AND BECOME A REAL MOTHER, IT AT THE CANCER/LEO ALTER TIME

To be concluded….

A Cancer Heir to the Throne

Lunar-O-Scope, 22 July 2013

FULL Moon in Aquarius, 22 July, 2:16pm EDT

Releasing the Heart

As our Sun has just arrived moments earlier to center stage in Leo, our Lunar Lady now engages in the opposing focus of finding humility in humanity’s feelings. This month’s peak of her luminous light brings reflection to the sign that loves to improve upon all it can within the task of what The Water Bearer is here to do. On the very tipping point of Aquarius, we can all expect an extremely inventive and innovative energy to transform within our Aquarius piece of the Zodiac Pie for the next two weeks through 06 August.

Moon enters Aquarius
2:07pm EDT 22 July to 2:22pm EDT 24 July
Detached feelings are apt to swirl around in the air, but please do not take too much offense. When progressive forces are around, it is only logical to take some time off from intimacy. The capacity to engage within ingenious thoughts becomes the collective feel. Instincts are known to be quite well-developed under an Aquarian Moon. So, if some unconventional and independent personalities display themselves to you over this lunar passage that will ask you for release from your heart space, you’ll know why. They should, however, still be friendly to you!

Full Moon, 22 July 2:22pm EDT, 0 degrees Aquarius
As our Lunar Lady peaks within The Water Bearer, it is the opportune time within our summer’s heat to truly take further pause within our vacation modes and think about what is worn out within how we bring our originality to the world. As our Full Moon shows itself in the resourceful energies of Aquarius -the sign that brings new life to everything- reward is found in the basking of our prophecies. Because this lunation hits the 0 degree tipping point- avoiding the “lunacy” that typically stereotypes a Full Moon, knowing and owning there is something profoundly regenerating allows us to let it go.

Moon Void of Course
10:01am EDT 23 July to 2:22pm EDT 24 July
Moon VOC is the passage in where the Moon makes its’ last major aspect to a planet before entering the next sign. In essence, it is a time that is well advised to not take up in forward motion nor important decisions for the future. As we welcome our second waning moon of summer, when our Full Aquarius Moon sextiles Uranus Retrograde at 12 degrees Aries, a deeper request to remain in reflection and review is still favored until it enters Pisces.

For the Collective
In as much as we all just experienced the wild ride of Mercury Retrograde who is just getting off the station in Cancer going Direct on 20 July, once more we are best to continue to dive into further review from the Aquarian slice of life as this waning phase begins. What makes this waning phase more intense is the Shadow of the recent MRx, which concludes by 04 August. So all you witnessed the alterations under our Messengers calling for review, has the proper time to readjust and iron out the kinks.

A close square comes in from Saturn at 04 degrees Scorpio, still technically coming off his station point from being Retrograde all through the late winter and spring. We will want to examine the tension that may display between The Eagle, The Lion and The Water Bearer within the life. Ideally, there is a calling for a new foundation asking to be built -so if you remain in resistance to this rather than patiently understand what it wishes to say- life will find all sorts of lessons to throw our way until we “get it.” There is a new awakening upon our EARTH in motion, and it comes from the releasing of what no longer works within the HEART, to allow us to transform all the easier, no matter how much the TRUTH may HURT at first.

LUNAR-O-SCOPE FULL Moon in AQUARIUS, 2013
For the collective horoscope, again we offer some simple advice for every sign from the outer vantage point. Remember if you know your Rising Sign (Ascendant), read that passage too, for it typically will apply to your personal charts’ advice. However, it is the awareness and mathematical analysis of the individual birth chart that will point to the accuracy of how the current planetary landscape affects you.

For the true astrology buffs, be sure to check the Aquarius House, in particular where the 0 degree Aquarius spot in your natal birth chart lives. (A natal birth chart is determined from the time of birth, which allows a more in-depth look to equally see where some pondering is ideally meant to unfold in how the planets uniquely affect you.) Whether the collective or individual vantage point, this is the area of life that calls for you to bring forth release and conclusions within the next two weeks to follow. Properly embracing letting go until the next New Moon upon 06 August will make the appropriate space for the new to be planted later.

Aries: Friendships take your attention where I Socialize, of who is staying and who should go! You are asked to ponder over the changes that wish to occur within your organizations, as well as old dreams and hopes. Allow the structure coming from your deepest sense of transformation to assist here. New creative work will soon be on the way. Be sure to accept that unexpected invitation to get out in the world for it is sure to show you a reconnection you’ll enjoy.

Taurus: Re-workings emerge in the career where I Structure, so that patient wait for change now releases some dead branches and cleans up your tired out roots in your public life. Conclusions form around a current project, and expect to turn onto a different route of responsibility relating to authority, which is what your partnerships in life are responsibly teaching you. Remember, new changes where you nurture will soon happen for the right reasons.

Gemini: Not that your mind doesn’t have enough to think about, a reflective state surrounds your philosophies where I Believe. Let loose and embark on a spiritual journey within your idealisms, higher education and travel, be that physically or in your mind’s eye. A long voyage calls for you to make plans or remember one. Your way of serving the world may seem stagnant, but, you’re about to realize how much this will bring a complete mental refresh, so think well.

Cancer: If you’ve been worried about your securities, finances, and investments, now is an ideal time to take up in review of your entire core sense of how I Transform. As regeneration fully illuminates you at present, know time spent with children or creative adventures will bring more stability to you. If you allow the rebirth to restart you like never before, this makes room for total spark in how you sexuality perceive it all, and your earning power will soon get a jump start.

Leo: You’re about to receive a pleasant gift from the Moon for further release where I Relate. Those intimate partnerships -from the romantic ties to business contacts- ask what purpose do they all hold in your life? Your heart may be heavy if you choose ultimatums, so it is best to remain quiet upon your stage. Assistance will come from the home and family if you recognize how much you need this nurturing, for there is loads of “if it is new it is for you” on the way.

Virgo: You are thrilled with this opportunity to improve your health and the ways I Serve in life Dear Virgins: the perfect compliment to your natural state of living anyway. You’ve been looking to let go of a tired habit, and you’ll have no fuss in releasing it now. Pets seek your attention. With all the amazing learning and stability that wants to restructure your thinking, it’ll be the time you spend in solitude and tap into those dreams that allows you to listen more carefully.

Libra: All the world’s a stage Libra, but you shine upon it now where I Create! Greet the excitement and confidence behind any brain-children, as completion arrives. Be extra playful, and enjoy some socializing, maybe even something you host. Watch emotional intensities with your children. If you’ve been feeling restricted about the earning power, look to the groups and circle of friends you are a part of, these are soon able to help you if you don’t resist them.

Scorpio: Feeling that it’s time to clean up the house Scorpio where I Nurture? Rearrangements within your home environment desire to transform you now, as rejuvenation equally stirs your family ties. Be on the look out for those déjà vu experiences, these messages are important. While life is definitely on sense of delay and required patience, once this waning phase completes, you can expect good news to arrive where you enjoy your career and public life.

Sagittarius:  Aiming those thoughts to send off your arrow to innovate and reinvent where I Communicate Archer, is the right target. Your siblings or neighbors call upon you, or an unexpected short trip. Further higher education and idealism revisions carry on, which may tell you of a long trip about to come up. You’ll hear the exact way you should be letting go of the old ways of thinking if you stop resisting spending some necessary time all by yourself to listen.

Capricorn: You are one who innately knows about worth old Goat, and the mood asks to take stock of what I Have and what you value. Reflect upon your sense of security, and try something original to improve it. You may part with possessions. Being grateful for what is, will bring a new sense of wealth to you shortly. Adhering to the call of being a part of a new organization or circle of friends helps here, but you are learning which ones you do have that are not worth it to you.

Aquarius: Cast off an old approach Water Bearer, as an old mask you’ve been wearing is out of date. Your original and innovative energies anxiously wait to reinvent a few things involving how the world sees you as I Am. Engage in self-focus and attention to your image, even if you feel you don’t want to get too intimate. This ultimately desires to make structure from the career, which is about to receive some interesting answers from the people you relate to one on one.

Pisces: Dear Fishes, inner places where I Process call for a re-examination. Break-through and embrace the spiritual and subconscious realms that ask to swim in the cleansing light of your psychic soul. It’s doubtful you’ll want company on this solitary trip. Energy comes in that passes along clues about how to soon serve the world and your routines better. However, if you forget to honor the responsibility of patiently reinventing your beliefs, you remain in stagnant water.

A Reinventing Grand Water Trine: 17 July

Trines are a 120 degree astrological aspect between planets from above that create a flow of energy that easily communicates to us down here below.

 

Get out your Birth Chart Today, 17 July! Where does the Grand Trine between Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune at 04 degrees of Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces affect your life?

Our planet of luck and joy Jupiter officially sends optimism to responsible Saturn at 1:31pm EDT, and later on in the evening he shouts out to our seeker planet Neptune at 8:14pm EDT. By Friday, 19 July, Saturn and Neptune align to complete the trining process at 9:20am EDT.

What is a Trine?
Trines are a 120 degree mathematical relationship from our Zodiac Skies that creates open, flowing, and easy communication for two planets to channel their energies from as they align at the same degree point between signs of the same element: that of fire, earth, air or water. A “Grand” Trine is when three different planets align simultaneously to make up a full equilateral triangle from above that casts down the opportunity to be wowed by a true interconnected force down here below. As this occurs between three outer planets in our water signs, the receptivity it brings is one that wishes to establish a new sensitivity as well as ways imagination and intuition can be seen between how these water signs and the current transits within them are presently working within your life.

What About You? Look to your current transits!
Jupiter has just started to bring a new educational process, enthusiasm and growth to where Cancer’s energy always asks for nurturing to thrive within the life. You can be assured that what is attracting to your life here right now will continue to expand and find plenty of ways to allow a positive flow to bring a sense of luck and good fortune to flourish.

Saturn -who has just gotten through with asking for a recent review period of bringing more responsibility to the Scorpio piece of the Zodiac Pie- has been slowing down the action in this area of life so you can take the time and patience to learn from your experiences here and find the stability he is asking for you to pay close attention to.

Neptune –who currently Retrogrades in Pisces, where The Fishes swim in your life- is in request of reassessing what you may need to do to reconsider the courses of action that are appearing here. With Neptune being a planet that brings immense depth of understanding and urges us to become aware of what may be deceiving us, it is time in the SILENT LISTEN, that will surely unfold the answers to the questions that are more that likely up close and personal here right now.

The Collective Experience: What It Means For The World
The channel between our personal instinct, emotional control and mass emotions will be ready for profound refinement in our concentration of ideals, our approach to authority, and tempering our enthusiasm with more practical, contemplative, and honorable means of attaining these goals. On the warning side: this energy is easily able to take the entire emotional landscape and create despondent, severe, hysterical, superstitious, scandalous, selfish, and egotistical reactions. Checking in where the 04 degree water points fall in the personal Zodiac Pie will grant the individual understanding of how the practice of patience, listening, and positive thinking will result in desirable outcomes for ultimate progress, rather than attracting negative situations surrounded by delusion, unpractical, and unprofitable motives.

A Time for Originality: Aligning at the 04 degree point
Remember at the 04 degree point, this grand alliance is meant to unfold in original, unexpected and innovative ways. Intentions backed by trusting in change, thinking out of the box, and overcoming obstacles will see sound and intense opportunities for growth between these three areas and how they are casting their channel to us all to reap reward from. There is a new way life can be reinvented in a matter of sorts for the collective at large, in where humanity is requested to emerge in a different sense of brotherhood and sisterhood. As Uranus’s energy backs the characteristics coming through at 04 degrees, it is a big fan of equality. Should one remain stuck, it can bring the opposing forces of resistance and judgment. Even more importantly, as you start with your personal experience of how these planets connect so strongly at this time within your Zodiac Pie, when you look to the individuality that asks to be heard from the 04 degree Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces areas of the life, you certainly will find there is a calling to dare to do something unique if you patiently listen to it.

Lunar-O-Scope, 08 July 2013

NEW Moon in Cancer, 08 July , 3:14am EDT

Nurturing Metamorphosis

We’ve let it all go from the last Full Moon in Capricorn upon the 23 June to now move forward in our emotions that wish to sensationally leap within the delicate energies of The Crab. While any given New Moon typically brings a fresh start to our feelings, bear in mind we are within the second request from our Messenger Mercury, who is not looking where he is going right now while retrograding in Cancer. Be cautious of signing important legal documents or engaging in initiations associated with any new beginning under this Waxing Phase. However, this lunation will still request the seed planting where Cancer domesticates and sympathizes within your Zodiac Pie, but we will still wait in pause to activate them.

Moon enters Cancer, 06 July 6:14pm EDT to 09 July 6:48am EDT
The virtues of imagination, parenthood, and sensitivity are natural gifts of a Moon in Cancer. Instincts are well developed and active- as strong influences from our environments shape our feelings during this passage. The collective gravitates to a nurturing quality -urged to take care of whatever home and family needs are about- as time in nourishment of the soul is equally favored. Romantic idealizations, reliving experiences and cherishing moments can all cozy up together as our Lunar Lady feels absolutely protected when visiting with the familiarity of The Crab.

New Moon, 08 July, 3:14am EDT, 16 degrees Cancer
As souls we can take this opportunity to bring forth what needs to now initiate in our lives –cautiously however under Mercury’s review- with emotion and spirit marking our moves. Take the next 2 weeks to plant those seeds that will, with proper intention, reap a fantastic harvest in the life further down the road. Visualize a gathering force as the Moon will travel from 16 degrees Cancer to where 0 degrees Aquarius’s energy falls within the birth chart. Even as Mercury is offering up review in Cancer, this half of your Zodiac Pie is ready for a fresh emotional feel to come into careful play throughout 22 July.

Moon Void of Course
7:44am EDT 08 July to 6:48am EDT 09 July
Moon VOC is the passage in where the Moon makes its’ last major aspect to a planet before entering the next sign. In essence, it is a time that is well advised to not take up in forward motion nor important decisions for the future. As we welcome our first waning moon of summer, when our New Cancer Moon conjuncts Mercury Rx at 18 degrees Cancer, another request to remain in reflection and review is still favored until it enters Leo.

For the Collective
While the new ideally wants to pour out from the Cancer area of our lives, we are still quite in the midst of Mercury’s offering for intense reflection here. As Mars enters Cancer 13 July, more drive and motivation will speak strongly, but make sure after 20 July -when Messenger Mercury will begin to move forward once more- is when the free-will chooses more wisely to proceed in forward motion from this area of the life, having the chance to truly fully breath.

This New Moon at 16 degrees, has a close conjunction to Mercury Retrograde itself, who will be over at 18 degrees of Cancer. These two compound numbers speak deeply about understanding the spiritual blessings within our lives, and recognize what must be reviewed within our view of the material. As the weight was forecasted of what the current calling of Mercury’s reflection would bring, this New Moon ask for anyone to move in the eye of any apparent storm that may be surrounding them. Only there, in that tricky navigation, will the ever patient SILENT LISTEN be able to be heard. A strong trine speaks as well from Chiron Retrograding at 13 degrees Pisces, who will innately relate the old wounds that speak within The Fishes that connect to the Cancer area of the life- and these will ask we look at the glass as half full so the proper healing of them can intuitively come through.

LUNAR-O-SCOPE New Moon in Cancer, 2013
For the collective horoscope, again we offer some simple advice for every sign from the outer vantage point. Remember if you know your Rising Sign (Ascendant), read that passage too, for it typically will apply to your personal charts’ advice. However, it is the awareness and mathematical analysis of the individual birth chart that will point to the accuracy of how the current planetary landscape affects you.

For the true astrology buffs, be sure to check the Cancer House, in particular where the 16 degrees Cancer spot in your natal birth chart lives. (A natal birth chart is determined from the time of birth, which allows a more in-depth look to equally see where some pondering is ideally meant to unfold in how the planets uniquely affect you.) Whether the collective or individual vantage point, these are the areas of life that call for you to bring forth initiation and beginnings within the next two weeks to follow. Properly embracing the new and gathering up in these areas until the next Full Moon upon 22 July will plant energies in place for future use.

Aries: You’ve been in the review within the home, where I Nurture. Devote your curiosities to the family life and nest egg in the next two weeks, and watch doors begin to open wide. Those flashes of déjà vu experiences speak quite the psychic wisdom to you now. Time in your solitude makes the inner process work more strongly for you, so the messages come clearly what the new ways you are about to truly take care of your environments, will be ones that genuinely heal.

Taurus: Reassessments of all kinds of ideas and ways of how I Communicate has been reeling. Siblings and neighbors may be requesting your attention. Slowly get those feelers out there if you haven’t sought to publish what is churning from your mind, for it’s time to teach everyone now what you know about patience. Look to how the old memories with friends, groups as well as how your hopes, dreams and wishes ask to reinvent the deepest thoughts you had of them.

Gemini: Everything has been in reflection mode about possessions and your sense of what I Have. It’s been the time to change up the values of what you cherish, and your entire sense of security. Your earning power is also in the mix, which is urging to find something different to do anyway. Removing the unrealistic expectations within your career and public life, will allow you to break through and discover, there is something totally original and new just down the road.

Cancer: As the spotlight of renew and redo has been shining already on you this month Dear Crab, it’s time for those approaches and the mask you wear to the world to look very different, within the sense of I Am. Those first impressions you carry are asking for new ways to take them in about life, and it’s going to be assisted by a learning process you embark upon if you let it. There are old beliefs that you’ve carried for years that now ask to be washed away with the tide.

Leo: The re-examining of the deepest layers within your subconscious now reveal new mysteries to you where I Process. The truest sense of your soul is ready to reboot. Dreams have had a plenty to say, have you been writing these down? As change is ongoing within your inner world, you are off your natural stage for a pass. As you finally come to recognize the core transformation that is purging within you, it’s the last round of regeneration before you rebirth.

Virgo: It’s been quite the reflective pass about your friends and groups where I Socialize. Accept that unexpected invitation you will receive, which more than likely reconnect you to the past. Hopes, wishes and dreams have asked you to reconsider them all -keep these in the best intentions- as the Universe is almost ready to aid you in manifesting your requests. Removing all those wounded ways you’ve understood your partnerships, makes room for the best yet to come.

Libra: The career and public life has been asking you to reflect upon it all where I Structure. As you have been reviewing how to have more care and concern about what you do- you are gearing up to soon promote your work, equally noting a fresh attitude towards authority. This all has an interesting message to receive from how you serve to the world, as well as your routine and habits concerning your health. No longer will you be unbalanced here if you listen carefully.

Scorpio: Philosophies and spiritual quests have been rereading the entire score where I Believe. You’re no stranger to surrendering to regeneration, and this now serves you in mysterious and mystical ways.  Old educational pursuits come out as reminders. If foreign travel is not allowing a stamp on your passport, where you can travel to, even telepathically, is just as fun. Whatever your childhood taught you about your creativity, it’s time to shift into a space of healing within it.

Sagittarius: Investments and your wealth have been asking you to aim to a more open place where I Transform, but watch Mercury’s request to not sign important documents. Word about other people’s money benefits comes towards you easily, but still cross t’s and dot those i’s. Reviewing sexuality is another channel that asks for your honesty. When you tie it all in to knowing the ways you no longer need to feel wounded about how you nurture, your healing will find it has arrived.

Capricorn: It’s been a journey of reflection as of late in how your partnerships exist in your life where I Relate. Whatever communications misunderstandings our Messenger may be throwing your way, a new sense now asks to feel good about them. Know the regenerative process in your life has you in the right place. There’s a true calling to remove old thought processes that have only held you back up until now, so trust for once something new here will work for you.

Aquarius: You have probably loved bringing new life to the reinventing of your health, personal habits, and routines where I Serve, which has been full on. Adapting within your environment of serving others asks you don’t remain resistant. Have the pets also been in your reassessment space? Someone in need at the shelter may await. There is healing to continue within your sense of value, which will then bring in a refreshed knowing of what you have and how to cherish it.

Pisces: Your intuition must be in the midst of sensing it: the unleashing of that vivid imagination upon an old project that keeps you swimming in ultimately expressing yourself where I Create. New initiations about old things flow here, and children may also require your immediate focus. A love affair may have asked for rekindling. When you get the healing process completely understood from reinventing your first impressions to life, the world is so ready for the new you.

The 8 Personal Year: What It Means For America

usaHAPPY
NEW
YEAR

AMERICA!

The time has come to welcome all Americans to the country’s new 8 Personal Year Cycle. We’ve been asked over the past year within the 7 Personal Year of 2012, to take some necessary time to sharpen the inner saw as a nation, with the grand final of the ongoing Mercury Retrograde in Cancer to send this reflective call home loud and clear. Since 04 July 2012, a routine of sharpening the inner saw and healing was required by the USA to listen to that silent voice within for the answers. As a nation, this time in quiet and retreat wished to prepare us to be ready for the upcoming required work of responsibility. Now entering the 8 Personal Year promises to present the opportunity to Americans to take up within the true act of learning from the experience, adhering to stability, practicing patience and using our recently acquired wisdom to now reap the rewards and the harvest of our previous seven years of effort as 2013’s cycle initiates.

There is a specific formula to follow in a 8 Personal Year which requires that the inner work of the preceding 7 Personal Year has been done. 2012 to 2013’s call to reflective action is part of all the groundwork planted and woven into the fabric that has been in the making since 04 July 2006, when we were back in a 1 Personal Year, the beginning mark of this current 9 year span of time.  For the USA, what’s ahead in this year of progress from 2013 to 2014, has everything to do with the deepest sense of getting into an ambitious, and yes, we’ll keep repeating this over and over again: a patient mind set. In fact, as we explore the true request of the entire 17 The Star of the Magi’s energy governing over 7 + 4 + 2 + 0 + 1 + 3  = 17/8, we’ll find the Chaldeans will lend us some fairly accurate advice in their ancient understandings to our entire nation if the free will only chooses to adapt to the practice of Love and Peace.

As the Chaldeans saw the 17 to numerically advise: “This is a highly spiritual number, and was expressed in symbolism by the ancient Chaldeans as the 8 pointed Star of Venus. The Star of the Magi is the image of Love and Peace, and promises that the person or entity. It represents will rise superior in spirit to the trials and difficulties of earlier life, with the ability to conquer former failure in personal relationships and the career. 17 is “the number of Immortality,” and indicates that the person’s (or entity’s) name will live after him. This is an extremely fortunate Compound number, with one warning. It reduces to the Single number 8, so it’s important for anyone with 17 as a Compound Key Number to understand the advice for the 4 and 8 vibrations.” ~Linda Goodman’s Star Signs

As a Personal Year Cycle, the 17 will do one or two things depending upon what the free will’s actions of the previous seven have already allowed to fall into place. While, yes the promise of a harvest, recognition, and reward are the natural positive results that prefer to unfold in an 8 Personal Year cycle, if you look at the events that the nation saw unfold with the 16’s The Shattered Citadel, there was a tremendous calling for the USA to wake up and smell the coffee. From what was witnessed between nature’s destruction to human unkindness that asked for anyone to take up in that SILENT LISTEN, the question now is proposed: is the nation ready to tackle all it has to in 2013 to 2014 with the intention and practice of Love and Peace?

Undoubtedly, the months to follow will bring in quite the lessons still needing to be learned, as always is the case in an 8 year, because of Karmic Saturn’s influence over it. Personal Years in the life guided by Saturn are much like having to listen to a father figure. Go against what he says and watch the acts of fate plummet to keep learning from the experience until that wisdom is acquired. What will be fascinating to observe is those who think that nothing has to change as they blindly follow the course of doing things the same way, but still believe they can change the end result they reap. This will be a year that those subscribing to this definition of insanity will come to their knees.

When engaged in a 17 Personal Year, the practice of patience will aide every step of the way. While it may be easier said than done, there is no other choice but to tap into the knowing that Love and Peace can be attained, amongst any hardship Saturn may wish to bring. Remember Saturn is only a hard-core planet when we ignore his requests, and have not done the necessary work in order to receive his stability. Pay attention to his wisdom, and the harvest and reward is more than happy to be reaped.

The singular energy of the 8 equally asks within the 17’s energy to take a good look at the self, and continue to remember to take time in reflection often so that the connections, rewards and legacy are rightfully able to enter the picture. Because of the strong spiritual presence backing up the 17, those based in sole material intentions will not find it to be so gratifying. Through the course of any 8 personal year, recognizing the slow and timely process, makes it worth whatever wait it entails. One way or the other, Saturn’s rewards will be through wisdom, knowing, and remembering how wonderfully slow and steady wins the race. Those who remain in resistance, will attract the lessons then needing to be learned, and soon will discover these are ones they could have otherwise avoided.

Another call to listen up to that recognizes the value of a patience pace to allow proper changes unfold comes into this USA forecast via astrology, as the ‘Uranus – Pluto Square Dance’ continues on for a couple more years. As we have already bared witness to the beginnings of an entire new global foundation in the midst of formulating- this entrance of the USA into the 17/8 Personal Year asks for anyone to recognize their responsibility to truly adapt to those unexpected ways transformation is affecting us. While reform and regeneration continue their call for years, this current Personal Year Cycle of the 8 will not be kind to Americans who refuse to work through what can be a rich harvest when that patience is practiced. Comfort zones will see their fair share of CHALLENGES. It’s up to the free-will whether resistance will be a part of that ALL CHANGES SEE ANGEL ANGLES HEAL, LEAN AS A  SAGE CLEANSE.

Specifically for the USA, the Uranus – Pluto Square Dance affects our 1st and 4th houses on our natal chart- that of our I Am of approaches, first impressions, including the way the world perceives us and within our I Nurture of home, family, and immediate environments that filter through our lives. We aren’t kidding when we have been saying the approach to the comfort zones of American life are in a very heavy place of transformation, and these have been occurring rather unexpectedly. This is the most intense concept to grasp between these two areas, as when squares occur from above they do mean responsibility to soul business to them down here below.

It won’t be until February 2015, when the USA will then be in the 9’s Personal Year request of ultimate finalizations and endings on the home front of this Current 9 Year Cycle which began in 2006, that the truest test of our on going Uranus – Pluto Square Dance will bellow its call. By this time, at the 14 degree of Aries and Capricorn, directly opposing and squaring our nations Saturn at 14 degrees Libra in our house of I Structure, that of the career and public life. Undoubtedly, the face of how we work, are viewed by the world, live in our habitats, feel secure, nurture our environments and take it all in will have seen altercations like never before in history, and very permanent ones.

So, back to that soul business we mentioned. In order to be ultimately prepared throughout the remainder of the Uranus – Pluto Square Dance, we as a nation can successfully prevail. It will be the attainment of the very inherent reminder of our now 17 Personal Year promises the result of Love and Peace, but this comes by slowing things down, taking pause, and being ever vigilant to not looking at the call for change as punishment, but a necessary part of how we are all here to embrace what it really means to EVOLVE through the habit of LOVE. Those who especially abuse authority, positions of power, and engage in greed- will find these to be the hardest lessons to survive.

One more point to note when understanding the true advice of how a Current Personal Year Cycle coincides with that of the natal chart. Where the guiding planet of the numerological year is currently transiting within the birth chart leans more advice to how to make the most of it. For the USA, the 8’s Saturn is presently within the natal 11th house of I Socialize that which governs friendships, groups, organizations, hopes, dreams and wishes. Our recognition here within what we are associated with will be thoroughly examined for its’ authenticity under the 17 Personal Year in order to receive any rewards. Even via the collective take for the USA, it is the 5th house of what I Create that seeks more attention that wishes to be accountable for when it comes to the country’s creative abilities, especially those relating to our very own children.  With the critical detachment from inspiration within our country’s public education system, it is our children who are suffering, as the illiteracy rate is the highest it’s been in years. This call to responsibility screams for a stable solution to be implemented.

So Fellow Americans, are you ready? We offer one final piece of star secrets wisdom for our country’s New Year in 2013. Via Lexigrams -the poetic phrasing of the anagrams that can be derived from any word, name or title to spell out its’ truth- aside from that ever so important request of the SILENT LISTEN, let us all find the time for our soul in some scheduled Saturn proven practices to receive our rewards.

PATIENCE

I APT IN PEACE, A PACE I ENTICE
I ACT IN PEACE, I AIN’T IN PANIC

Acing Mercury Retrograde: 5 Things You Need to Know

MRxCHANGE

Image: Unification Family

Yes, it’s another “infamous” Mercury Retrograde. Even if you don’t know anything about Astrology, you will benefit from continuing to read on. You’ll be so happy you got tapped into this awareness so that you too can reap the very rewards of it over the next few weeks.

It’s officially here at 9:08am EDT/6:08am PDT, Wednesday 26 June as the planet Mercury from above -that guides our communications, thinking, mentality, movement, transportation, electricity, and any transferring information down here below- will be up close and personal creating all sorts of “fun” interruptions and flux for us to deal within our normal routines of everyday life until 2:22pm EDT/11:22am PDT 20 July.

Whether you are a believer or not, your HEART and soul walks, breathes, and lives upon the very EARTH. If you consider yourself a human being, then you will be one of the receivers that Mercury will naturally bring forward changes and opportunities for shift to over the next few weeks.

We cover all the real deal and intimate details on this passage within the very theme of it, ‘Returning to Nurturing, Mercury’s Reflection in Cancer.’ Equally when you go to the link, you will learn what area of the life this affects by just knowing your Sun Sign.

5 Things You Need to Know About Mercury Retrograde

1.    We are being asked, from above, to take up in reflection mode for a few weeks. We haven’t had a period like this since 23 February – 17 March, when it was our last Mercury Rx in Pisces.  Look as well to 06 – 27 November 2012, Mercury Rx in Scorpio/Sagittarius. Think back for a moment. Do you remember now what kinds of interruptions, changes and seemingly “interesting” energies where going on in your life at these times?

2.    Mercury Retrogrades in one years time about as often as we sleep. This passage is here once more to ask us, down here below, to slow down, take a pause, and rest up. Our favorite rule of Mercury Retrograde is take up in action with any word that begins with RE. Such as…

Reconnect, Review, Reflect, Rework, Revise, Revisit, Reset, Rewire, Replace, Repair, Relate, Reaffirm, Redo, Retreat, Reassess, Relax, Relocate, Relive, Redirect, Regroup, Remind, Remember, Release….. and our favorite RESPOND.

3.    This is not a favored time to move forward in life, surrounding any initiation you truly wish to have long-term results with. So, if you are about to get married, sign important legal documents, buy a car, start a business, purchase a house, partner-up, or put anything out there you want fabulous and fantastic success with for a long time to come- you might want to REthink those choices of your free will. Whatever is put in motion under Mercury Rx, typically doesn’t have the longevity for the future, for it is riddled upon it’s birth with a shaking ground of unstable communications and mistakes intertwining all within it.

4.    Human error is highest under this passage. Therefore, this is the very key of understanding how not to getting wrapped up in those “tricks” that do find themselves right at your doorstep. We have to take the extra time to make sure we catch the mistakes we tend to make. The carpenter rule of thumb here will save you every time if you “measure twice, and cut once.” We’ll even add, you might want to measure three or 4 times- just to be safe. You’ll want to apply this to your communications -i.e. emails, speaking, writing- repairs, cooking, whatever it is truly that you are doing.

5.    The practice of PATIENCE, so you can TAP IN AN ANCIENT PEACE PACE, is how you ride through the MRx passage with victory. Leave another ten to fifteen minutes every day to get where you are going. Stop the normal rushing that’s become society’s norm to get places. When those changes show up in your plans, don’t REact, REspond. Have back-up plans ready to go you can enjoy the response with. Otherwise reaction will create a domino affect you’d rather avoid under this transit, so be sure your free will chooses wisely here.

Being flexible and adaptable will allow you to have such REward as the next few weeks ask for our pause within our lives. Especially now, as we are also in a waning phase since the Full Moon on 23 June, you have another request here from above for reflection and the reassessment until 08 July. Remember, you more than likely deserve the downtime.

As we all look back now to our lives to what has happened since 17 March, see what progress you’ve made, what needs reworking, and have fun with your RE’s of life. Your soul will be all the happier, and much more at peace for it.

Happy Returning to Nurturing My Dear Stars!

Lunar-O-Scope: 23 June 2013

 

FULL Moon in Capricorn, 23 June, 7:32am EDT

Responsible Metamorphosis

This Full Moon in Capricorn occurs days before our second Mercury Retrograde of 2013. As our Lunar Lady takes up in her monthly wane until the next New Moon in Cancer 08 July, being adaptable and recognizing the healthy ways release can work from the opposing energy of The Goat will be significant. This lunation asks for us to remember to feel good about being responsible, so we are to better embrace that change is always a positive force within our lives.

Moon enters Capricorn, 4:08am EDT 23 July to 3:27am EDT 25 June
The virtues of reliability, ambition and prudence are natural gifts of a Moon in Capricorn. While instincts may be sluggish, the capacity to apply diligence is more favored to shape our feelings during this passage. The collective gravitates to a practical and methodical quality -urged to focus on serious matters and be oriented towards the self- honing in on the feeling that if one is busy at work, comfort is near. Steadfast, sobering and fatherly energies tend to demand more from our sensitive, cherishing and motherly Lunar Lady- who ideally is fed what she naturally lacks whenever she journeys with The Goat.

Full Moon, 23 June, 7:32am EDT, 02 degrees Capricorn
As souls we can take this opportunity to dutifully recognize what needs to now complete and reflect within our lives- with patience and learning from experience marking our every move. Visualize this releasing force as the Moon will travel from 02 degrees Capricorn to where 18 degrees Cancer energy imagines within the birth chart. This half of your Zodiac Pie is now ready for a look-see and review through 08 July. Where the shoes no longer fit, they’ll be no need to keep on wearing them.

Moon Void of Course
10:24pm EDT 24 June to 3:27am EDT, 25 June
Moon VOC is the passage in where the Moon makes its’ last major aspect to a planet before entering the next sign. In essence, it is a time that is well advised to not take up in forward motion nor important decisions for the future. As we welcome our first waning moon of summer, when our Full Capricorn Moon opposes Venus at 26 degrees Cancer, more welcomed time in reflection and review is still favored until it enters Aquarius.

For the Collective
Our karmic planet Saturn, (who is still offering up review while in Retrograde at 04-degrees Scorpio) is in a close sextile to this lunation- and will equally form a close trine to our 02-degree Cancer Sun that will ask for sound, serious, and self-controlled feelings. This Full Moon packs an extra strong punch of pure emotional release that may come with some resistance. As Saturn is on this 04-degree point in Scorpio for an entire month’s time as he goes Direct on our next New Moon 08 July, we find plenty of the unexpected to emerge that will need to be transformed under this waning passage. Connecting the energies between Scorpio and Capricorn is key to better understanding the surge that asks for accountability to be adhered to under this reflective time.

At the 02-degree of Capricorn, we have a numerological request here to pay close attention to what feelings can be nurtured from where The Goat works hard within the life. The collective is meant to open up to what the imagination can ponder, rather than getting caught up in worry about what may be releasing. If it is old and worn out, it’s time to be sensitive enough to allow the truth to cleanse what is no longer necessary from this piece of the Zodiac Pie. Knowing that any current transit through Capricorn requires responsibility to it- adhering to what is going through metamorphosis within feeling here is the call our Universe wishes for us to hear.

LUNAR-O-SCOPE, FULL Moon in Capricorn, 2013
For the collective horoscope, again we offer some simple advice for every sign from the outer vantage point. Remember if you know your Rising Sign (Ascendant), read that passage too, for it typically will apply to your personal charts’ advice. However, it is the awareness and mathematical analysis of the individual birth chart that will point to the accuracy of how the current planetary landscape affects you.

For the true astrology buffs, be sure to check the Capricorn House, in particular where the 02-degree Capricorn spot in your natal birth chart lives. (A natal birth chart is determined from the time of birth, which allows a more in-depth look to equally see where some pondering is ideally meant to unfold in how the planets uniquely affect you.) Whether the collective or individual vantage point, this is the area of life that calls for you to bring forth release and conclusions within the next two weeks to follow. Properly embracing letting go until the next New Moon upon 08 July will make the appropriate space for the new to be planted later.

ARIES: Dear Ram your pioneering pursuits lead to letting go where I Structure. Conclusions within your career require your silent listen. The public life is up for a review session as current projects complete. See what else can alter in how you view authority, as well as your place as a leader. As you connect these ideas to what is about to initiate within your environments, look to what is purging equally from the core that requires your patience to let it carefully transform.

TAURUS: It’s time for The Bull to unlock it’s stance and find time to be a true student. Go forth and release what is no longer practical where I Believe. Equally, the draw to higher education and renewed philosophies call strongly, that aid to let go of worn-out perceptions. Remember a recent trip or ponder where to go next. Look to how the responsibility you are giving to your partnerships is changing up the ways you think, for there are even more great ideas on the way.

GEMINI: Intense feelings encourage your innate adaptability to be utilized as now they’ll be no stopping the responsible energies that are unfolding where I Transform. Physical sparks in the bedroom ask for you to unite and conquer! Deep messages speak to you from your core. Financial investments ask you to investigate how to best revise them. As your routines, health and habits patiently continue their long-term changes, there is immense value to be gained here.

CANCER: Conclusions to how I Relate within your life Dear Crab are here. Business and personal partnerships are your area to clean up and clear out for this waning period. You’ll find there is a connection between these and your creative side, where your brainchildren or children relate to what is also releasing: patience is required.  As you sensitively imagine new approaches to life, you notice these reflect right back to you within the ways your relationships are transforming.

LEO: Look back to January and see how far you have come with a whole new health kick. It may have taken this long to recognize the worn out habits and routines that no longer provide benefit your life, where I Serve, including yourself and others. Release the tired patterns of service to the world; a complete rebirth is purging in this area of the life, and do spend time with the pets. Be responsible to how you nurture your environments, allowing an inner process to blossom fully.

VIRGO: Dear Virgin: Let the details go with your current love affair or imaginative adventure, for conclusive energies are on where I Create. Lingering issues or matters concerning children come to a resolution. When you are patient in your thinking, such power is at your fingertips, so keep a pen handy. Love affairs either move to a deeper level, or exit your stage. You feel your vigor by entertaining, which lets more regenerative ideas naturally flow that you’ll want to write down.

LIBRA: It’s time to focus upon where I Nurture. The home finds your heart feeling complete, as you seek to bring your Scales into further balance by finishing a long-term task here. Transformation fills your family life, and more release is ready. Don’t ignore the déjà vu experiences, they speak about what you still have to learn. Letting go of what you do not truly need in your environment allows you to feel a peace that you can connect to a new value in life.

SCORPIO: What mental pursuit have you been awaiting to end the investigation of? Now is the time where you will see much energy shifting where I Communicate. You are drawn to the mind and what thinking processes you have that no longer make much sense for the future, time spent writing aides in this cleansing task. Siblings and neighbors equally may wish to call upon you for help. All makes sense in time as your approaches to life continue to ebb and flow in a rebirth.

SAGITTARIUS: You are wise to keep those arrows of yours on the target of your earning power and your possessions relating to what I Have. It’s time to part with something, which continues the regenerative process already in motion here. You become more aware of living in your means, as you can learn more ways to complete this mission. True value speaks in powerful ways to you when you spend time alone and note the messages in your nighttime dreams.

CAPRICORN: The Lunar Light shines upon you Old Goat and all that I Am. Worn out approaches now release so the world can see you differently. Realize what needs to come to a completion within your first impressions about life. An old mask to the world looks to be pulled off. You cannot deny the powerful regenerative force that continues here. Time with friends and groups can assist you in remembering the responsibility to your hopes, dreams and wishes.

AQUARIUS: You feel like detaching yourself from everything to retreat to where I Process. Time spent here is best for you to weed-out the old life within your deepest inner world, as the subconscious realms speak loud and clear for change. Dreams are an intense self-help guide to help you release any fears or what you may be hiding from. Solitary time benefits you, which connects to what is regenerating within your career and public life, so rewards can flow here.

PISCES: Take a swim in the sea of friendships and organizations Dear Fishes where I Socialize. These waters now provide a place for you to tread in awhile, where you hope, dream and wish for more. A group you belong arrives at conclusions. Answers can come from that unexpected invitation to mix and mingle, which taps you further into the transformation underway where you believe and express your greatest ideas, allowing a necessary learning process to break through.

Returning to Nurturing: Mercury’s Reflection in Cancer

Image: Rob Schouten, Liberation

Mercury Retrograde in Cancer, 26 June to 20 July

Welcome to another Mercury Retrograde, and have no fear! The approach to the second Mercury Retrograde passage of 2013 begins 09 June, as our Messenger planet is spending time at home within the sensitivities of The Crab, where he now resides since 31 May in our Zodiac skies until 08 August. This will be a long-term opportunity to find nurturing ways to communicate our feelings well into summer as the second Mercury Retrograde (MRx) request for reflection of 2013 begins 26 June.

What is Mercury Retrograde?
Retrograde: Any planet’s reverse movement which results in an opposite direction to that of the Earth’s orbit around the Sun, or of the Moon around the Earth.

“Now Mercury really isn’t going backwards. It’s just an optical illusion based on the relative speeds and orbits of the Earth and Mercury around the Sun.

Here’s an easy example. Think of riding in a fast car on an expressway, which is passing a slower-moving car. The slower moving car appears to be moving backward, but it isn’t really. It’s just the relative speed and direction of the two cars gives that illusion. Retrograde Mercury is similar to that.

The apparent backward motion of Mercury is called retrograde, and it has been known and studied in western astrology for thousands of years.” ~Linda-Goodman.com

Retrograde planets are times in our Zodiac skies when reassessments verses forward motion become highly favored. In such a case as Mercury, because it is the closest planet to the earth, its’ affects as it goes “backwards” from above are well-known to cause flux, change, confusion in anything that thinks, moves or communicates. The best choice our free-will can do at times like these is embrace this offering for pause and reflection to find resolve.

This upcoming passage marks a susceptible time when it will be all the more critical to be in full awareness of choosing emotional responses verses emotional reactions pertaining to the changes it presents to handle. Being Mercury will back-track through the very sign that relates to emotion –(who is governed by our Lunar Lady herself) when those typical MRx rerouting of plans arise- these will relate to how much we can learn about the ways our free-will chooses to feel in the NOW. Many profound lessons ask for us to take a SILENT LISTEN, requesting the recognition of being in the moment to OWN our NOW, will allow us to see how much we will have WON.

Messages of a Cancer Retrograde
The collective’s perceptions are wise to find channels of thought through open, inherent, and reflective energies; offering up colorful expressions when worry is avoided. Tying into the first calling of 2013 for review with MRx in Pisces back in February and March- this second Mercury request of the year equally has a powerful punch to allow any soul to tap into the difference between what our imagination can run away with. Shifting this non-serving energy to healthy concern, engages a calmer, more peaceful outcome for successful results.

Cancer energy enjoys whatever can be “chicken soup for the soul.” A maternal force surrounds The Crab, and the theme of this MRx unveils some serious review of what The Mother figure represents for all mankind, and what nurturing choices are we all are called to return to, which result in optimizing our lives. With our Sun, Venus and Jupiter all in Cancer as the passage begins 26 June, the means to find inspiring, harmonizing, and optimistic forms of finding our way here will be available, as Mercury carries these messages with extreme depths of perception to be able to reach them.

When Mercury stations to return to Direct Motion 20 July, our Sun, Jupiter, and Mars are all nearby journeying with The Crab as well. We find by this time, an intensity surrounds how we associate with all the water energy Cancer governs over in our lives, connecting further to how we do this within our natal charts. From our collective history, homes, families, food, abilities to nurture, intimate environments, and yes, those emotions: the calling to tap into our gut instinct demands our attention.

On the trining frequency the planets can channel, Neptune in Pisces and Saturn in Scorpio also come into play to grant advice from our other water signs. Currently from above, our mystical and spiritual planet is reviewing and redoing in the early degrees of Pisces, in the constant asking for us to take that SILENT LISTEN and do not be caught in delusions. The final seal the deal for all outer planets having a major say is of course from our karmic Saturn, who -while in his current Rx- hangs to a close trine to Neptune at 05 degrees Scorpio, sternly sending home the message: stay ever responsible to knowing permanent change is imperative, and do not become deceived by the transformations you see.

The USA and Mercury Retrograde in Cancer
As our Messenger takes a rest and review in Cancer, this has a profound affect upon what the world witnesses occurring within the United States, who is under the MRx microscope for this passage. Stationing close to the USA’s natal Mercury at 24-degrees Cancer to start the Retrograde 26 June -by 20 July- guess where Mercury stations before going Direct? Right on top of America’s natal 13-degree Cancer Sun, which is karmically guided by the Chaldeans numerological understanding of Regeneration – Change. This 13 mathematical degree point strongly advises the digging up of the old dirt to make room for the new and more innovative seeds soon to be planted, in the most unexpected of ways.

By the time this MRx completes 20 July, Mars will have joined in Cancer to motivate the genuine fight to truly change the approaches of America like never before. The shadow passage that ends upon 03 August, has the Moon back in Cancer to stir up emotions here all the more. From the country’s natal chart perspective, the potent regeneration this MRx transit creates allows death and rebirth to dynamically emerge on multitude of levels. Make sure you always take care of you, for the return to nurturing for especially for Americans will become an amazing mantra this summer and beyond.  As the changes unfold, remembering what you wish to stand for verses fighting against will equally bring reward as Putting Power in Perspective wishes to prevail.

Mind you, the USA’s 24-degree Mercury is Retrograde in the natal chart from 04 July 1776. Typically, those born under a natal Mercury Rx have an easier time with the regular routine of MRx than others, but when this sits in the 8th house of transformation: you can bet your bottom dollar something heavy is going to regenerate and change within the USA from the depths of its core. The weighty surge this Mercury Retrograde unfolds will probably go down in history, as changes for the entire nation are powerfully witnessed. Miscommunications continue to fly like never before within the fights against the food industry, especially those relating to the FDA and Monsanto. All information that transfers around the upcoming the MRx in the USA will be interesting to observe- watch what you choose to believe from those “they sayers” and the media’s chatter.

For the true history buffs, if you are in Gettysburg over the 4th of July holiday, there will be an appropriate MRx “RE” reenactment of the very battle that marks 150 years since it occurred. The United States also celebrates the entrance into their 17/8 Personal Year of the harvest, recognition and reward of what has transpired in the previous 7 since 2004 upon 04 July- bringing forth a year that will be fueled with learning from the experience, as adaptation to patience practices will aide to achieve stability. When anyone rings in a birthday under the transit of Mercury Rx, that entire year is marked with tremendous permanent change ahead. As Saturn guides this collective 8 year for the USA, the toughest lessons taught will be seen by those resisting the choice of responsibility.

Furthering on the USA scene, one will find they truly can no longer remain in confrontation to what the ongoing Pluto-Uranus Square Dance is looking to recreate and reinvent within the life. While it may seem painful to face the changes within existing structures- the old and tired foundation is asking to be rebuild here- especially the collective USA one that is crumbling. Toss in MRx in Cancer and the square/opposition it will be in strong conversation with. Mercury’s movement will closely aspect this current outer planet square three times: under the approach, during retrograde, and once more under the shadow within these 09 to 12 degree points- as Pluto currently retrogrades back to 9 degrees and Uranus reaching 12 degrees before he joins in the outer planet Rx reflection in mid July. The rebuilding passage undoubtedly will be on in full.

Mercury Retrograde and YOU!
Where Cancer affects your life up close and personal in your natal chart will be of special importance to note, to prepare now for the review here that is requested 26 June to 20 July. As the approach begins at 13 degrees Cancer 09 June, you’ll want to examine what area of the life these points rest in until 23 degrees Cancer in your natal chart. As the shadow completes 03 August, the reassessing work here will be complete, and you’ll know change has come. From the collective perspective, as it can be seen from the simplicity of knowing your natal sun sign, you can also take a glimpse at what you can equally expect to be strongly associated with action requesting reflection. Those who know the true math of their specific ASC/Rising Sign, can also take a peak at what else will call upon your review.

The Approach and The Shadow
Mercury Retrograde passages advise we are wisest within our free-will to hold off on moving forward in our lives as the normal RE’s of the Rx apply. You’ll find the approach and shadow of this transit to equally be weeks where those changes and things associated with what directly wishes to be under reflection and review will emerge to say hello.

The Approach sets up the stage for us all to have a bit of a preview for what kinds of things will ask for their natural period of renew and redo. The Shadow will then finish up those things that, if you had to make decisions of any kind of importance under the Retrograde for ultimate forward motion, you’ll have these weeks to iron out the kinks that will have been ironed into the fabric.

To Do and Not To Do Under MRx
Remain in the eye of any possible storm around you. These handy tips assist in bringing ease to any soul over this upcoming period to allow you to reap personal success!

DO:
*Expect CHANGE: in travel, routines, communications, environments & schedules to occur suddenly
*Give yourself extra time to get where you’re going
*Spend time in any word starting with RE: Relax, Revisit, Reflect, Redo, Recharge, Release…
*Recognize things already in motion can be Reviewed, Replaced, Reorganized & Redone
*Remember human error is highest under this transit, cross T’s & dot all I’s accordingly
*Have Plan B (and Plan C, D or E if necessary) ready to go
*Choose to Respond vs. React!

DON’T:
*“Freak out” when changes come up
*Rush: speaking, driving, doing anything!
*Sign important documents
*Initiate or buy anything new that you wish to have long-term success with.

Keep in Mind…

Avoid questioning the changes at this time.  If you do, reflect in the actions and thoughts leading up to your DOUBT, and tell it please DO BUT OUT BUD. Because Mercury is our thinking and communicating planet, the “tricks” he can play most certainly will be on your mind, when the collective human error is highest than any other time the year. Remaining in the response verses the reaction will always manifest the positive energy to attract back to your free-will at any time. The more we are flexible, the better results we see. Taking that pause for a SILENT LISTEN can completely save us from getting caught up in the domino affect.

Lexigrams and Mercury Retrograde
You just can’t leave out the wisdom of Lexigrams at a time like this to know how to sail through your upcoming Mercury Retrograde. From this very title –as seen in Chapter Three of It’s All in the Name– as Lexigrams reveal the hidden truth about it from the poetic phrasing of the anagrams it derives- see how you will find you move more smoothly under MRx by taking up action in the very words below.

New Moon, 08 June, 11:56am EDT

The Spirit of Synthesis

May we all welcome the opportunity to engage in a brand new energy from the Gemini area of our life! The collective’s emotions are now stimulated in the sign that strives for concentration within our communications. While we have already seen a preview of ideas wishing to be synthesized within The Twins to result in harmonious outcomes, where will you take in some further spirit where love and wisdom wish to unite in your personal Zodiac Pie?

Moon enters Gemini
11:32pm EDT, 06 June to 12:16pm EDT, 09 June
A Moon in Gemini brings forth adaptable and inquisitive feelings as our Lunar Light joins hands with The Twins.  As the Zodiac Month of Gemini opens up our awareness to concentrate on ideas while synthesizing our soul- be on the alert to embrace opportunities to really sharpen up within this area of the life. There is a fitful instinct to imagine within, which is eager to observe, self-express, and start taking communicative action about what is on our minds.

New Moon, 08 June, 11:56am EDT, 18 degrees Gemini
As another waxing phase begins, time to get those new ideas and initiations out there to gather in the light. Air is Gemini’s elemental influence, so be alert to those intellectual gifts that are meant to unfold- as this New Moon kicks off an inventive force that the Twins wish to share with you. Remember the true genius gift of Gemini comes with cultivating concentration to bring out the ideas that are truly meant to serve you best. Should two opposing ideas present themselves, it will be through honoring the request of uniting the spirit to bring forth the co-operative means that allows them to work as one.

Be sure to check your 18-degree Gemini spot in the natal birth chart to see as well to see how some fresh energy wishes to emerge from this area of the life. This lunation point is specifically calling for the deepest sense of recognizing the synthesis of the spiritual ideals verses the material means.  Seeds planted in this section of your Zodiac Pie until the Full Moon 23 June are more than bound to reap a rich harvest further down the road.

Moon Void of Course
4:29am EDT 09 June to 12:16pm EDT, 09 June
Moon VOC is the passage in where the Moon makes its’ last major aspect to a planet before entering the next sign. In essence, it is a time that is well advised to not take up in forward motion nor important decisions for the future. Even as we welcome our second waxing moon of spring, when our New Gemini Moon conjuncts Jupiter at 26 degrees Gemini, spending time in reflection and review is still favored until it enters Cancer.

For the Collective
We find this New Moon in Gemini to be a welcomed emotional force that is surrounded by conclusive energies that continue beyond the waxing phase as Mars, our Finalizer planet will transit within the Twins throughout early July. What initiates under this waxing phase will have plenty of dynamic action to motivate and increase the desires to make it happen quickly, especially by 26 June. As the Moon VOC conjunct to Jupiter engages 09 June, reflecting upon all the past years’ learning and growth here is favored. One will find this New Moon to stimulate feelings associated with a true spiritual calling to what is about to happen next. As any soul takes up in consciously being aware of the power that comes from aligning within, the non-material blessings will be ones to cherish and acknowledge the most.

LUNAR-O-SCOPE, New Moon in Gemini 2013
For the collective horoscope, again we offer some simple advice for every sign from the outer vantage point. Remember if you know your Rising Sign (Ascendant), read that passage too, for it typically will apply to your personal charts’ advice. However, it is the awareness and mathematical analysis of the individual birth chart that will point to the accuracy of how the current planetary landscape affects you.

For the true astrology buffs, be sure to check the Gemini House, in particular where the 18-degree Gemini spot in your natal birth chart lives. (A natal birth chart is determined from the time of birth, which allows a more in-depth look to equally see where some pondering is ideally meant to unfold in how the planets uniquely affect you.) Whether the collective or individual vantage point, these are the areas of life that call for you to bring forth initiation and beginnings within the next two weeks to follow. Properly embracing the new and gathering up in these areas until the next Full Moon upon 23 June will plant energies in place for future use.

Aries: Things have been truly emerging alive and well where I Communicate. Embrace this time to initiate energies that further your mental capacity to explode with some truly clever ideas.

Keep going for high hopes, big dreams, and wish well.

Virgo: It’s no time to be shy where I Structure. A definite harvest, stability, recognition and reward awaits you in the career and public life, if you don’t sense this already after all you’ve recently learned here.  Promote or start a new business.

Your relationship to authority also asks for a new direction you’ve not been responsible to up till now.
