A Quick Word on The Messenger…

Mercury enters Taurus

09 May 

1:14am EDT 

 

After all the excitement our Messenger pioneered within Aries, now it is time to slow the mental pace down and get serious into conventional, diplomatic and constructive methods of expression. Ideas come in limited capacities, in where, they are more pleased by deliberate and well-drilled concentration verses inspiration and spontaneity. Again, honing in on intuition grants the patient voice of Taurus to speak with the innate wisdom necessary to let the collective think for this pass in stability.

Even as our Lunar Lady still wanes through 20 May, Mercury practically opens the lines of conversation up easily with Mars at 08 deg Virgo as he reaches 08 deg Taurus 13 May. As Mars is taking all of his recent Retrograde review in forward motion, look to the connection between these two areas of the life to bring forth shrewd, resourceful and confident ideas. Much quick-wit is able to be attained as this stimulation to the collective’s mentality offers up a fast pace that will make those thoughts all the more forthright in their messages.

Mercury’s energy at 09 deg Taurus meets up with ease to chat with how Pluto at 09 deg Capricorn is offering review under Retrograde in the life on 14 May . As the turns of transformation are unfolding where The Goat works hard in your Zodiac Pie, working with this trine allows for sharpening of the intellect in intense ways. Make note of what comes into play from these two areas of the life, as they find agreeable avenues to make changes occur under.

Right after our upcoming Solar Eclipse in Gemini 20 May, Mercury connects upon 22 May with the abundance of Jupiter at 25 deg Taurus. Where The Bull is patient, this now receives expansive and philosophical communications that wish to change up beliefs here. Reap the rewards that the fertile mind is able to enjoy and be easily educated by, as hope is happily part of the mental picture that can be made.

Enjoy all the steady conversation our Messenger wishes to share with you within The Bull throughout 24 May! 

Lunar-O-Scope, Full Moon in Scorpio

05 May 
11:35pm EDT
 
Rerooting Our Core…This Full Moon in Scorpio brings the collective focus to a pure request to remain in the eye of the storm to allow our core to be replanted as another reflective passage begins. The path of this Lunar peak takes us up in the intense winds of change. Should we resist -choosing not to listen to the voice within- the regenerative force of Scorpio will surface hard-bitten verses self-reliant feelings throughout this Waning Phase until 20 May.

Moon enters Scorpio
Friday 04 May, 10:20pm EDT til Sunday, 06 May at 9:39pm EDT
Anytime our Moon is transiting in a water sign, our emotions have all the more tendency to become a powerful force over us. As our Lunar Lady soars with The Eagle, this precisely asks for examination of our core. As we filter our emotions in regards to transformation and self-control, we are able to bring forth an acute instinct and imagination to embrace.

Full Moon, 05 May, 11:35pm EDT, 16 degrees Scorpio
This is the second request for emotional reassessments within Spring 2012. The 16 degrees Scorpio point within the personal Zodiac Pie shows where a magnetic energy is wishing to speak. The 16 is critical to pay close attention to- for this cipher always asks for us to be still, and take up with a SILENT LISTEN. It is imperative with any 16 citing, to be ready for the storm around us, and make sure we dig deep into our intuition to remain in the eye of it in knowing response verses deceptive reactions. Anyone engaged in the ego too high up on their tower in life, will plummet as the 16’s ‘The Shattered Citadel’s’ energy promises.

Matters concerning our determination, sensitivity, and power to investigate will be present. The capacity for reliving past experiences is strong, and relying on psychic energies is prominent. Be aware of stinging, self-tormenting, and defiant reactions. The urge to manipulate should be avoided. Desires will be powerful and channeling them with proper intention is essential for this regenerative force to optimally heal.

For the Collective
We equally will be experiencing this lunation upon a calendar date that is interesting to note. 05-05-2012 is 3 divisions of 5- resulting in the Universal karmic path energy of 5, and the Universal life path energy of 15/6. The 5 is known as The Adaptor, the bringer of permanent changes, movement and communications- especially concerning the masses.  With a 16 degree Scorpio Full Moon, expect some changes that ask for your adaptation, and surrender to the release.

Furthering examining the 15 Universal life path of this lunation, we find any of us as the self (1) experiencing change (5). Again, resisting what is being asked to reroute from our core is not a wise choice for the free-will.  Going with the flow of change, will emerge the 15’s promise of ‘The Magician’ in where Venus’s harmony and peace through the 6 will be the end result. The changes coming are only meant to bring a necessary balance, when one takes on that SILENT LISTEN to recognize this.

Lunar-O-Scope, Full Moon in Scorpio, 05 May 2012
For the collective horoscope, again we offer some simple advice for every sign from the outer vantage point. When we are in proper tune with our emotional beings- we then have the best thoughts flowing in our lives, and the magic of manifestation begins. Remember, if you know your Rising Sign (Ascendant), read that passage too, for it typically will apply to your personal charts’ advice.  Keep in mind, it is full mathematical analysis of the individual birth chart that truly indicates how the current planetary energies are uniquely affecting you.

Aries: Focus your attention and review your investments, taxes, shared/joint resources, all that “I Transform.” Other people’s sources of money may no longer serve you. Remember just to look, and then take even more time to make your moves because Venus Retrograde that begins 15 May has the brakes on for forward motion here until 27 June. Intense regeneration now takes you in directions you’ve never known before- exploring intimacy and the true depths of your soul.

Taurus: Remain determined and not stubborn to share your feelings about those closest to you, personal or business, all of how “I Relate.” A person from the past may surface, or one equally may be let go of as conclusions form here. You are reflective upon how you ultimately carry out your personal one on ones. Whatever doors have recently closed in your life, recognizing how they have transformed you will allow some new ones to show themselves all the easier.

Gemini: Your routine, personal habits, and health seek both sides of you to unite to bring on some regeneration in how “I Serve.” This requires you to stop moving, at least for a little while! The power you find in stillness brings forth all the answers that wish to come. Take a look at the way you are of service to the world, for there are equal improvements to be made. Time spent with pets is a source of healing and brings unity from the depths of your soul.

Cancer: That artistic adventure you’ve been putting all your imagination into looks for a completion where “I Create.” Children may be on your mind, or require your focus now. Love affairs are being contemplated, and you are anxious to figure out whether they are meant to become something you bring the curtain up or down upon. Take some time to be social and get out there in the spotlight, for there is applause you are also about to receive upon your stage.

Leo: Home and family matters become quite heartfelt, and there are issues concerning them that will find a release from how “I Nurture.” Time spend cleaning in the home rejuvenates and makes room for new energies to emerge here later. Remember there is still balance you need to achieve where you recharge in the Lions’ lair.  Play close attention to any déjà vu – under this especially psychic full moon you’ll be sure to receive an extra intense and powerful message.

Virgo: Time to re-organize your thoughts Dear Virgin, and where “I Communicate.” This is truly no time to be in doubt, for this never serves you. When you sense something deep, keep going there. Taking time in reflection to write, educate, or learn should delight your need to intellectualize, but be sure you don’t get stuck in logic. Something has been holding your thought process back for a long time that urges that regenerative energy to shine upon you now.

Libra: Your value system urges your investigation, for it’s time to re-evaluate your securities within all that “I Have.” A source of earning power may see a conclusion or change. Consider parting with possessions, especially ones you are dependent upon and truly no longer need. Steer clear of impulsive purchases- find bargains. Remember the current feelings surrounding the slow patient process in your life wish to continue to teach what you must learn to evolve.

Scorpio: The most reflective time of the year is upon you now, and it’s your spotlight Eagle! New approaches and letting go of what doesn’t fit into your passionate and magnetic world is the mystery that awaits your detective solution dealing with all that “I Am.” There is a different way the world is about to see you- these last moments of release desire your attention before that new mask can be put on. Let go of a worn out impression you needlessly carry about the world.

Sagittarius: There are plenty of arrows shooting off in your subconscious realms that this Moons’ energy will take you Archer, where “I Process.” You are sensing the workings of that inner world, to go further within hidden matters that wish to be resolved. A re-educational process involving spirituality unravels that surely will have you aiming higher than ever. Take special note of your dreams, as these equally share innate wisdom about your waking world.

Capricorn: Time to hold up on the toil old Goat and labor with your friendships and organizations, and get thee to where “I Socialize.” You may relive a many experiences within the roles you’ve played in your groups. An ultimate responsibility here brings new life to you, so don’t miss the task at hand which requires a rebirth, as maybe some traditions in this area need revitalizing. When you receive that unexpected invitation, don’t use work as an excuse not to go.

Aquarius: Matters of the career and public life is where reflection asks you take a vacation from all of your inventions so you can focus upon where “I Structure.” Your purpose, mission, and reputation all await significant changes. A long-term project here comes to fruition. An intense and passionate new life is on the horizon for your career, but first, you must release from what is holding you back from your own truth. Pondering your view on authority is also strongly advised.

Pisces: What expression no longer is powerful enough Dear Fishes where “I Believe?” The waters are safe now for you to swim in the course of necessary change here. You are finishing up or reflecting upon a travel adventure. Even if you only take a trip in the mind- you are urged to find some real higher education that releases a worn-out philosophy. Gravitate to your deepest psychic realms for genuine rewards, for the unknown here is ready to rejuvenate you.

IT’S ALSO A SUPER MOON! The biggest one you’ll see in 2012!!

Saturday 21 April, 12:05am EDT til Monday, 23 April at 1:05am EDT

Taurus energy must beware of dogged, materialistic, lethargic, and obstinate behaviors that may arise. When any possessive energies are around, it is easy to gravitate to unimaginative and reactionary tendencies. While a strong sense of values and patience mark any Taurus passage, the cultivation of enterprise, adaptability, and vision are equally wise to adhere to.

New Moon, 21 April, 3:18am EDT, 01 degrees Taurus
When our New Moon embarks in the practical and preserving energies of Taurus -the sign that consciously aims for security- we are now ready to really take on an enduring and resourceful spirit. Earth is Taurus’s elemental influence, so look to this passage to allow feelings to take root, and “fix” into a grounding force.

Mars at 03 degrees Virgo makes a fine trine to our New Moon, and his recent return to action in The Virgin equally is eager to make some flowing connections with The Bull. As Mars now works to align those details of how The Virgin provides us with impeccable service and the ability to purify within our lives; taking note of how this can find a body, mind, and spirit connection to what new roots Taurus is wishing to plant with patient yet passionate emotions behind them is soul time well-spent.

The world is anxious to see the new masks you are now ready to wear with optimism.

Gemini: Time to spend some time in solitude, that place of how “I Process.” The spiritual, subconscious realms, and the psychological make-ups of life call to you to really get away from your chatty self, so don’t be in a disconnect.

A Quick Word on The Messenger…

Mercury enters Aries

16 April

6:42pm EDT

We move ever-closer to the Shadow passage of our 1st Mercury Retrograde being over as our Messenger re-enters Aries today. Our Messenger was last here upon 02 March moving forward under the Approach.  Whatever unfinished business still in need of ironing out the kinks, will come to pass as the Shadow concludes when Mercury reaches 06 degrees Aries again upon 22 April.As Mercury journeys once more with The Ram, communications in this area of the Zodiac Pie are directed to take the lead; engaging in alert, clever and spirited methods of expression. Remember under this transit, going with your very first thoughts brings the best outcomes- second guessing things ends up with unfavored results. Spontaneous thoughts are sure to find the collective requesting adaptation to be utilized.

As these early Aries degrees in your personal piece of the Zodiac Pie finish up the recent MRx Shadow, anticipate some communication stirs and changes to still find you. Energies after 22 April will then be in full speed ahead to exhibit alert, quick, and inspired perceptions about what ideally is meant to shift and alter in this area of the life. As with any Aries transit, cultivating concentration, patience, repose, and restraint to the excitability unfolding here, makes for all the more successful outcomes.

Where will you get word about what should be moving, talking and altering in the life?

Regeneration & Change: Mars goes Direct 13 April

Mars goes Direct

03 Degrees Virgo
13 April
11:53pm EDT
You probably are reading this, planetary follower and letting out a BIG YAHOO!!!! Most people in awareness of our Pioneer planet being Retrograde since 23 January -requesting us to Stand in Our Courage– are more than ready to see Direct Motion return to the celestial body from above that motivates and shakes our worlds up with direct action down here below.

Aside from the promise that action will be able to move forward ultimately from where 03 degrees Virgo rests in your Zodiac Pie, the recent requests of Mars for review equally hope you have now arrived at definite conclusions about the necessary changes that are meant to unfold after this seemingly ridiculously long passage of reflection.  Albeit, wouldn’t you know, our calendar date that just catches our Pioneer returning Direct Motion is in full and equal agreement to let it all go.

13 April 2012, numerically, by both the Karmic Path date (13) and Universal date energy (4 + 1 + 3 + 2 + 0 + 1 + 2 = 13), both grant us the understanding of the 13’s ‘Regeneration and Change.’ A sort of cosmic “double whammy” of really noting what the Chaldeans saw this more often than not “feared” number, and please do cast off yours about it falling on a Friday this year, btw. (simply a silly superstition) If one is to truly embrace the magnificence of the 13, there is such profound insight to behold:

“13 is not an unlucky number, as many people believe. The ancients claimed that “he who understands how to use the number 13 will be given power and dominion.” The symbol of the 13 is a skeleton, or death, with a scythe, reaping down men in a field of new-grown grass, where young faces and heads appear to be thrusting through the ground and emerging on all sides. 13 is a number of upheaval, so that new ground may be broken. It’s associated with power, which, if used for selfish purposes, will bring destruction upon itself. There is a warning of the unknown and the unexpected. Adapting to change gracefully will bring out the strength of the 13 vibration, and decrease any potential for the negative. 13 is associated with genius- also with explorers, breaking the orthodox and new discoveries of all kinds.”

Now, with any 4 vibration, (1 + 3 = 4) we also know that Uranus is involved in the planetary mix. Hence the warning about the unknown and the unexpected, something this planet is all too famous for bringing to us to experience down here below. So, whatever unfolds upon 13 April 2012, you can be sure there are some surprises not even the best psychic could predict. Uranus just ain’t a fan of pre-telling how it will all fall out. Prophetic about the energy yes, details no.

So, as Mars will go Direct quite late in the day 13 April, take up with that same old courage you’ve been relying on since the end of January within this area of your Zodiac Pie. Remember too, Mars, like Mercury when coming off Retrograde, is going slllloooow,  otherwise known as the station. Mars doesn’t reach 04 degrees Virgo until 21 April. Once he gets going, he’ll be back to his usual 2-3 day passes through one degree, not to finish up the shadow of this recent Retrograde until 19 June- finally moving into Libra 03 July, concluding his extra long stay Virgo since 10 November 2011.

Happy Regenerating, Change and Motivations to You Dear Stars.

Lunar-O-Scope, Full Moon in Libra

06 April
3:19pm EDT

Relating With the Warrior

Our first Full Moon of Spring offers the opportunity for balancing out further relationship responsibility with The Scales as completion now occurs within the Libra piece of the Zodiac Pie. This Lunar fruition grants the path to let go of undiplomatic, intolerant, and insincere feelings throughout another Waning Phase until 21 April.

Moon enters Libra
Thursday 05 April at 11:32am EDT until Friday, 07 April at 11:18am EDT
This lunar request seeks to grant understanding to what we partner up with in our lives. A collective calling is here to look to engage peaceful, tolerant, charming, and friendly energies of response in our one-on-one matters. Refined feelings and the capacity for comparison and co-operation are strong. Be aware however of lazy, evasive, and co-dependent reactions.

Full Moon, 06 April, 3:19pm EDT, 17 degrees Libra
It’s that time of the month when our feelings and emotions have the tendency to become intense. When you have the Sun in Aries and the Moon in Aries -you can expect one of two things: resistance or co-operation. A Full Moon in Libra brings forth a sensitive instinct and imagination -urging our courage and independence to emerge- equally asking that we take time to filter through our emotional take on relationships and harmony.

For the Collective
As Saturn presently retrogrades, our planet of karma and our Lunar Lady conjunct at 26 degrees Libra, 07 April close to 6am EDT. As this Full Libra Moon begins to wane, the collective’s feelings will be quite deepened, serious; ideally offering patience and practical energies. Anyone in denial of tuning into the experiences Saturn is asking us to be responsible to, may feel the necessary lessons in return.

Previous to our Lunar Light show, our Moon will grant equal pull against Saturn’s counter-mate Uranus, who journeys in Aries at 05 degrees. The Innovator planet opposes our Lunar Lady early evening close to 7pm EDT 05 April. As Aries wishes to plummet through with originality, the Moon on the other side of this may just resist against it if it weighs the pros and cons too much. Remembering whatever maybe communicated here now, will see complete forward motion return by the next new moon 21 April.

Lunar-O-Scope, FULL Moon in Libra, 06 April 2012
For the collective horoscope, again we offer 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, more so if the earlier degrees of it. Keep in mind, the exact casting of the natal birth chart determines a precise perspective of how the current transits of the planets personally and specifically affect you.

Aries: You’ve been feeling that pure responsibility to those partnerships for quite sometime now, personal or business. As Saturn requests ultimate listening up here at present, this is an opportune time to take a good look around and continue to let go of what no longer works where “I relate.” This is a time to equally get out of your head and reflect upon the unexpected ideas coming to your first impressions and instincts- these days, they really do inspire to reinvent you.

Taurus: Take a stance Dear Bull and bring on intelligent improvements to your routine, personal habits, and health. Being you innately enjoy acts of patience, recognize what is being let go of is all part of the long-term process happening in where “I serve.” Look at the way you are being of service to others, something is necessary to re-examine here. Resist being stubborn to change, for your surrender allows a secure inner and unexpected peace to reflect back to you in return.

Gemini: The Twins have been in a diligent task of letting that cleverness out to play! Whether united or divided, that artistic or creative adventure has your full attention. You are far from being done with this task, so remain thrilled about learning from these experiences with what “I create.” Children may require your focus now. The love affairs are flirting upon the stage of your life are anxious to figure out whether they’ll become part of the set, or see curtains down.

Cancer: Not that home and family aren’t always on the Crab’s radar, but there are issues concerning them that will find further release where “I nurture.” The Career is sparkling with innovation at present, but remember there is equal balance you must achieve patiently where you refuel. You love a good déjà vu –ones you’ll receive now have an extra special instinctive message to share with you, is packed full of wisdom to aid in learning from the experience.

Leo: Time to dive further into arriving at conclusions where “I communicate.” That responsibility your thinking and mentality has been requesting of you, knows it’s best to be loyal to positive thoughts. Siblings and neighbors may help you learn from an experience. A fine time to partake in reflection to write, learn, or educate; continuing the patient redefining of the stable head necessary to rule your forest as your beliefs become more and more excited to be expressed.

Virgo: If you’ve been in a fuss or worried about the earning power- just let go of it now, for it is not the time to attract more anxiety. Find reward as you refine the area of what “I have,” and place those detailed oriented skills to how you politely serve others. Your value system has seen the beginnings of the redecorating process that is presently unfolding at a poised pace. Now is the time to reclaim your securities, and noticing the innovative ways they can widen their wealth.

Libra: Your Scales have more weigh to carefully take away from them. Toss out the worn-out approaches and let go of what doesn’t fit into your beautiful and friendly world is the mission at hand. With the new and even unusual relationships springing up, you are only the best for them as you continue on in total awareness of the stable process that is changing the way the world sees you, as your perceptions wisely improve for the better in the entire sense of your “I am.”

Scorpio: You’re quite comfortable in the subconscious realms that this Moons’ energy desires to take you to regal Eagle. You feel strongly about gravitating to inner work, and it’s time to go even further within, where “I process.” Your dream state is a marvelous source of self-knowledge that is able to bring forth balance where you serve and your health. Enjoy the mysteries here to solve, for the passion they stir not only fulfills, these equally will fascinate your soul.

Sagittarius: You’ve been learning a lot from experience within your friendships and organizations. Further reflection upon the recent roles you play in your groups right now allows your wishes the room to blossom slowly and surely where “I socialize.” Responsibility calls to you to review what requires release here, so don’t lose your focus before completing the task Dear Archer. Remember all the original energies aiming in compliment from your creative labors!

Capricorn: As usual, over-working really doesn’t serve you Old Goat. Career matters are on the surface right now, and while the pace here has been rather patient, you become further engaged as a time for intense reflection unfolds where “I structure.” Your purpose, mission, and reputation await significant changes. The time is now for reassessments with those ultimate long-term goals which also in pull from the re-inventive motions going on at home right now.

Aquarius: Responsibility has been stirring within your philosophical outlooks, some of which even the prophetic thinker like you couldn’t foresee coming. Your urges to travel may not be going exactly as planned -but be patient- these will align as a little extra work involved. Even if you cannot take physical flight, take a spirited mental journey that reassesses your higher education and how “I believe.” Your original thoughts are soaring, so don’t let them fly away.

Pisces: Careful planning has been wise for you to be schooling in the area of investments, taxes, shared/joint resources. Review what may not be stable choices. A dynamic force stirs within your earning power: take advantage of it. Been a lack of intimacy swimming around you? This leisurely ripple from the roots of your soul as you continue on diving into this ultimate passage of reflecting upon how “I transform,” lets you equally be grateful for what you already have.

A Quick Word on The Idealist…

Venus enters Gemini 


03 April 

11:18am EDT
Our planet of harmony, ease, balance and pleasantries joins up with The Twins for quite a longer visit that usual. Due to the upcoming Venus Retrograde that starts 15 May, Venus is going to sharpen up her intellect and get clever in the sign that loves ideas until 07 August.
This journey for Venus in Gemini brings a bit of a preview of all the goodness coming into this sign for the entire year ahead. Jupiter enters The Twins on 11 June and will be also staying on bringing it’s typical fortune here until the following June of 2013. 
What will Venus prepare us for? Well, she is the lover of peace, luxury, money, art, relationships and truly where an easy feeling can be felt within the life. Taking up this extra special time in Gemini will pave the way for what Jupiter will bring in further abundance later. Under her Retrograde passage 15 May to 27 June, she’ll simply ask we take a little cleaning up where The Twins reside and be truly ready for Jupiter to sweep in his enthusiasm as summer really heats up!
Venus in Gemini will grant a collective tendency for affections to be flirtatious and spontaneous; and if the disconnect is around, perhaps a bit dispassionate and superficial. You may notice a distracted and dual energy around, especially under the Retrograde passage. More to come on the full expectation of all the do’s and don’ts under her reflective offering.
The entire passage of Venus with The Twins will have many diving into intellectual pursuits, and loving what learning, information and travel can do to bring calm to the mind. Always the benevolent planet, this will be a time when good humor, youthful, communicative, and refined dispositions will be bouncing all around as Spring keeps on growing. 
Check in with your Gemini piece of the Zodiac Pie to see where some wonderful energy is about to explode, as well as an offering to clear the slate here in true balance as Jupiter’s blessings are soon to arrive here and begin to flourish as well.

Lunar-O-Scope, New Moon in Aries

22 March
 
10:37am EDT

Wielding the Warrior


As Mercury Retrogrades at 0 degrees Aries, it is still time to welcome a NEW energy where The Ram takes charge of your life! The collective’s emotions receive direction in the sign that pioneers and sparks true beginnings as we simultaneously engage in what’s moving in our lives with communicative reflection. An active and keen instinct in the next two weeks strikes up, but it will be best to proceed with caution.

Moon enters Aries,
Thursday 22 March at 5:57am EDT until Saturday, 24 March at 5:43pm EDT
Especially as our Messenger Retrogrades here at 0 degrees Aries on the tipping point of the entire Zodiac, Aries energy is wise to beware of restless, challenging, militant, and disobedient forces that may arise. When self-willed energies are around, it is easy to gravitate to unbalanced, aggressive, and hasty tendencies. While a strong sense of individuality and assertiveness mark any Aries passage, the cultivation of moderation, patience, forethought, and humility brings success.

New Moon, 22 March, 10:37am EDT, 02 degrees
This lunation in Aries brings forth independence as easily aroused feelings take charge with The Ram. As our mentalities here recharge further, we still can embrace this time of the month as our emotions welcome a fresh feel. When our New Moon embarks in the driving energies of Aries -the sign that consciously aims for leadership- the collective is really ready to take on a fearless approach. Gravitating to a true Warrior understanding will be vital under this first waxing period of Spring.

For the Collective
Expect the unexpected Uranus is also in the mix of The Ram’s energies just over at 04 degrees, so full attention to remaining in the response verses the reaction brings further understanding to our outcomes here. Spring has also officially begun as Venus and Jupiter bring harmony to Taurus under Mercury Retrograde- which may see its’ fair share of delays to feeling like it is truly bursting until our Messenger goes Direct in April. This New Moon also is not easily met as it- along with the Sun and Uranus all inconjunct both Mars Rx at 06 degrees Virgo and Saturn Rx at 27 degrees Libra. Look to these areas of the life for possible resistance.

Be sure to check the 02 degrees Aries House, in your personal birth chart to see where a new energy is urging to unfold. An initiation in the next two weeks to follow will sow the seeds that you plant in this section of your Zodiac pie until the next Full Moon upon 06 April. Remember, however, what is new here really gets it’s optimal chance to shine once Mercury returns to Direct Motion 04 April. Under the Shadow, Mercury will come forward over 02 degrees Aries upon 19 April, so note how movement and communication speaks here by this time.

Lunar-O-Scope, New Moon in Aries, 22 March 2012
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.  Always remember, it is the full mathematical analysis of the individual birth chart that truly indicates how the current planetary energies are uniquely affecting you. 

Aries: Mighty Rams, heads up. Get ready for some exciting and stirring feelings to ignite your normal pioneering approach, and all that “I am” already under review. Now don’t be headstrong- truly take this time to re-activate the self. You may see tension from intimate relationships, co-workers and your sense of serving others. Rise up above it all, and the world will wait to see you differently, as it anticipates the completed new mask you are getting ready to unveil.

Taurus: Prepare for a new self-discovery within how “I process” to unfold deep from within as you continue upon your ongoing solitary journey. The spiritual, subconscious realms, and the psychological make-ups of life call to you to really get away from what you normally like to touch and feel, so don’t be stubborn. Resistance may try to emerge from co-workers, your sense of routine and the creative nature. Dream analysis is marvelous at this time to bridge your worlds.

Gemini: In the realms of how “I socialize” within friendships and groups, there are new connections to be made here. You are already in review of your part within organizations so don’t remain in the split. Things feel in a divide with what you can create and on the home front somehow. Accept that possible unexpected invitation to get out in the world, and it will open up an unexpected way to break through the barriers that, in the end, are only within your mind.

Cancer: So are you having fun reassessing the harvest, stability, and reward within your career and public life? Tap into your intuition about what can be rediscovered in regards to promoting or starting a new business, or, for a nice recognition to come your way in regards to how “I structure” in the life. The home, family life and your ways of thinking seem to cause some unrest. Remember your view to authority also looks for cleansing, and can respond to this responsibly.

Leo: Inspiration has already been refueling the path to how your philosophies and educational pursuits are expanding. Taking a trip outside of the forest, Lion? Though wise to proceed with caution under Mercury Rx- take one, or at least find ways to broaden your view of the world at large. Your thinking/mentalities and earning power may not see as eye to eye as you’d prefer, and here in lies the challenge, to remain positive and optimistic about changing what “I believe.”

Virgo: Don’t be shy about your securities and investments, for it has been the time to reflect here, but don’t make ultimate decisions in this area until Mercury is Direct again. With all the planet power here at present you are undergoing an intense metamorphosis that may find some resistance from how your approaches are changing while having to be patient with your earning power. Feeling sexy continues to welcome the discoveries that show you how “I transform.”

Libra: Your partnerships are more than on your mind lately, from your romantic ties to business contacts. You’ll find the new and the old connections over this waxing period are of special importance to your future. Avoid signing anything legally binding until after 04 April. You may find you toy between your inner world and your first impressions. However, a friendly spark ignites as you reflect upon ways to bring balance to what you love to do best in how “I relate.”

Scorpio: Keep tapping into those regenerative powers, because they are right on in feeling they are ready to bring forth more improvement to your health and all the ways you find that deep satisfaction in the area of “I serve.” There are new routines and habits coming your way. Somehow, your world of solitude may seem a little “off” but pay extra close attention to those dreams. Should tensions fly with a friend, don’t give the deadly sting, choose to soar above it.

Sagittarius: Fire is alive for you in all of its’ forms, and you surely have been sensing magical illumination at your fingertips when it comes to your creativity. As you are reviewing the intense energy surging where “I create” -you see a break-though. Your playful feelings equally love contact with children. “Brain children” or offspring equally wish to be on your stage. You may sense tension in aligning it all with your public image and groups, so choose one focus at a time.

Capricorn: Have you stopped working already to shift to cleaning your house Dear Goat? Your home environment has been calling for your toil and perfectionism. More than likely you have been choosing to ponder here, especially reassessments, with equal focus upon your family life, all of what “I nurture.” Not to get too psychic, but do not ignore any déjà vu experiences. These may communicate something expected about your career and requirement of higher learning.

Aquarius: Enjoying the ongoing review in your thinking Water Bearer? Be ready for more inventions and original ways you always enjoy improving your sense of how “I communicate.” If you take time to plan a short trip now or if you are already on one, just keep Mercury’s current changes in mind. Neighbors and siblings draw to you now. Don’t resist what you should not believe in anymore, as well as the regenerative request that is purging within you from the core.

Pisces: The Fishes currently swim in the waters of review to a renewed sense of values while taking stock of personal possessions- the solidarity of what “I have.” You are in the mood to redo and reorganize in how you earn your dollars. A new channel to flow from begins to show its face, granting security to lock in later. Still thinking you shouldn’t be seeing all the transformation around you? Go with the course of change, and remember to be peaceful in your relationships.

A Grand Trine in Nine



A Grand Gift in Earth

A very cool cast from our planets above down here below…

At 9pm EDT, we see an intense Grand Trine in our Earth Signs.

Venus and Jupiter at 09 degrees Taurus (House 7, right side of chart)

Mars Retrograde at 09 degrees Virgo (House 11, upper left of chart)

Pluto at 09 degrees Capricorn (House 3, lower center of chart)

At the 9th degree, this more than optimistic communication between our Earth Signs is requesting a true alignment in the practicality, solidarity, efficiency, stability and true worth of our lives down here below. Take a good patient look around your world. What can you be truly grateful for, even amidst any  apparent flux that Mercury Retrograde may be causing? There is a half full glass for you to grab somewhere.
Venus and Jupiter undoubtedly have called forth the harmonies we are seeing for an extra early Spring, as the signs are everywhere about it’s bursting even as we are still within the last licks of Winter with our present Sun at 23 degrees Pisces. Taurus is the sign to “fix” us into Spring, and here, we have the very two planets transiting with these realms. Who isn’t feeling the fever from The Idealist and The Optimist? 
 
Mars is cleaning up big time in the realms of The Virgin, where life here is motivated to be reviewed in fairly intense ways. Driving energies seek to spin out what is no longer necessary within the areas of health, being of service and how pets are handled. Known as the sign of the auditor, Virgo is finding those details to be raked over and it’s mutable ground is getting a true fertilization. By the time 13 April comes along, The Pioneer will return to making sure proper direction and action returns to this area of the life.
Pluto, slowly but surely, is capturing all the scope from the wisdom of Capricorn. The Transformer is bringing everything back to being tried and true, and will not tolerate that which is not being done with the utmost integrity. Those trying to cut corners and make short cuts to the long term goal, will be taught serious lessons from this grave mistake. This planet is about power, and power comes from the slow and steady choice in this day and age.
So at 9pm EDT 13 March 2012 on the East Cost, we have another interesting capture as we cast the here and now chart. With an 18 degree Libra Rising in on the horizon, we have another understanding of the 9 here. The 18 as we have been seeing from the last 6 Full Moons at the 18th degree of the sign, is requesting once more we take a closer look at the balance of Spiritual-Material Conflict within our lives. The material no longer matters, at least the obsession of it as it has been created to appear within this disposable and fast paced greedy world. Getting “Spiritual” and truly in touch with the nature of relating, now, that is what the 18th degree of Libra wishes for us to unite our innate dependency with.
With Libra in the lead and all Cardinal Signs in charge of this 9pm EDT 13 March “As Above,” Pluto is transforming the thinking, Venus and Jupiter are thrilled to be creating harmony in relationships, and Mars says rethink all hopes dreams and wishes in what society really is doing for us all down here below. This Trine in Nine is asking for conclusions to how these 3 areas relate and work in ease with one another. Conclusions are being asked to formulate, or simply, they will fall into place without question.
Also of interest to note is the Medium Coeli (Mid Heaven) in the area of how structure is formed for the collective, and where the individuality stems from, ideally. This point is at  21 degree of Cancer, that of The Crown of the Magi. This number is also happy to report that the soul testing is over and some higher learning is upon us that must be nurtured. New philosophies and beliefs are ready to grow within humanity’s outward expressions. Now, does that precisely mean no more heartache?
No. In fact, there may be more heartache ahead than we have ever seen in quite some time. But, if we are not consumed with the material, our spiritual soul will know how to handle it, and the conflict will cease. The only soul testing we have had is not recognizing enough spirit within our lives. With all of this 18 and 9 going on, it is truly time. Time to let go of what we thought we knew. What we thought we already understood. It’s final. It’s over. The world we all were so damn comfortable in. It doesn’t exist anymore, and it doesn’t work.
Get practical. Get real. Get rooted. Return to tradition. Be efficient. Be happy. Exercise patience. Get healthy. Educate yourself. Think for yourself. Live in Spiritual and Universal Laws. Be silent. Listen. Turn on the deep love in your heart to evolve on this earth. This is our future. It is time to say, “WE are NEW.”

The Grand Trine in Nine has spoken.  Namaste.

Remaining Positive: Mercury Retrograde, 12 Mar to 04 Apr

Sooooo… If you’ve done your astrological homework and did your ‘Preparing for Mercury Retrograde’ you are truly going to be at the head of the class for the next few weeks ahead. And noooooo, the end of the world is not coming quite yet just because The Messenger is taking time to offer us all some necessary reflection within our lives. But, rest assured, this passage is going to change up a lot things for the collective.

Remaining positive couldn’t be more important to grab on to with both hands, and hold on tight. Let’s just think of Mercury for a second. Envision our quicksilver planet who ever-so enjoys delivering his messages and information, making sure travel and movement is happily happening wherever he goes. Now, picture him blindfolded in a sense, in where, he can not see where he is going to do all of these things he typically keeps himself quite busy with.  What would you do if you had to literally only physically move backwards to function down here below?

This is why, we are not “doomed” under Mercury Retrograde at all. It is all how our free-will chooses to perceive the changes that will naturally unfold during this passage from above. Knowing our Messenger’s channel from above is going to make things flux- possibly leaning towards the chaotic- it is definitely a smart move to honor his request for retreat, relax, review, and redo. Those who are not willing to adapt to a reflective, relaxed and resolute state, are the ones who make mountains out of molehills over this time.

Trying to move forward in life when the planet that directly governs movement, thinking, and communications of all kinds upon this planet is moving backwards is just plain silly. Logically, like Mercury always is, it makes perfect sense. This passage definitely gives him the name of ‘The Trickster’ as he does a sleepwalk of sorts. Over the course of a years time, he travels backwards about as much as we actually sleep. Becoming any clearer why the Universe sets it up perfectly every 4 months that we naturally take a mental rest?

Being in the know to take our time, expect delays, exercise patience, don’t sign nor initiate anything of importance, and have Plan B, C or even D ready if A changes- is critical to staying within the power of your positive energy over this time. Even in the face of apparent tragedy that can arise due to those unaware of how this Universal request from above works down here below- it is always up to you. Respond or react. You decide, as you are the captain of your own ship. And if you are letting anyone else sail it for you, perhaps you should truly take up with reflecting upon that under this upcoming passage.

Rejoicing can be yours under Mercury Retrograde by remembering all those RE’s. Literally, most any word that begins with RE, is the finest way to reap reward from this passage, which absolutely can occur. But if you want to move forward in life and plan for the future while the Messenger is backtracking, you’ll just end up wasting your time. Human error and mindlessness is the highest under MRx than any other time of the year.

So what should you do from 12 March to 04 April? Returning to old projects is highly favored. Reconnecting with old friends/contacts. Reviewing what just happened in the life since the last MRx back in Sagittarius in November and December 2011. Revise current work. Dive into some research. Go on a retreat. Reclaim something lost. Go for a release.  Revisit your life. Repair what is broken. Redo, Rest, Relax. Reflect.

For each and every sign in the Zodiac, while Mercury will “do this thing” from 06 degrees Aries to 23 degrees Pisces, there are 2 areas of the life from the collective perspective that this will ultimately require reassessment and revision within. Looking to the natal chart, you will wish to precisely see how these degree points fall, and what area of the life they are asking you to take a chill pill within for this period of time.  

We’ve got the quick collective scoop for where you’ll find reward in reflection by discovering the power of your own positive energy in the response verses the react. The first area listed starts you off where as well, Mercury will meet up with Uranus in Aries who has been already displaying the unexpected to you within this area of the life. The second listed is the area of focus for review when Mercury re-enters Pisces 23 March.

And whatever CHALLENGES may come your way to test your soul, know too, ALL CHANGES LEAN AN ANGEL ANGLE HEAL AS A SAGE CLEANSE.  Off we go to become friends with change.  Namaste.
