Peace in Release

We’ve gathered from Pisces to now find completion and release where The Virgin brings a natural and pure feel to your Zodiac Pie.  As this 6th Full Moon peaks at the 18th degree of the sign, we also conclude the Universe’s offering to tap into the understanding of Spiritual Material Conflict in our lives from Aries to Virgo. As we enter this lunation’s waning phase, some early spring-cleaning that lets in releasing the material to welcome the spiritual awaits to find us.

Logically, Virgo is not always the easiest place for our planet of emotion to be visiting. With the tendency for analysis to increase, this may bring forth the end result of instinct and imagination to feel quite limited under this passage. One may always find, engaging in service to others and dealing with details are stellar ways to channel success. It seems practical to gravitate to cleaning-up, effectiveness and study as our Moon finds its’ energies engaged in more reserved feelings, and just may exhibit a little shyness.
Full Moon, 08 March, 4:39am EST, 18 degrees Virgo
The Virgo piece of your personal Zodiac Pie points to where you will feel quite an intensity this Thursday, as well as the area of life to focus upon for release and reflection for the next two weeks until our next New Moon upon 03 April. The final lunation in a 6-month series since last fall in Aries at the 18th degree, we conclude as well a deep acceptance of letting go of the material satisfaction within our lives. As Virgo appreciates above all else purity and innocence, there is no time like the present to absorb and recognize all that the spiritual side of life has to offer us. Once more through logic, Virgo is telling us here, solidarity in our future completely depends upon this.
For the Collective
This Full Moon in Virgo requests that we look to matters concerning health, purity, routine, service, and efficiency in our habits. Our present Sun in Pisces brings on the enthusiasm for the unknown, sympathy and understanding -now being complimented by the Moon- engages in balance with the Moon’s reasonable choices of health and serving others in Virgo. As our entire Solar Month evolves, making peace ones practice attracts the gentle energy necessary to allow the proper letting go to occur now.
Warrior Mars presently guards over The Virgin, and he isn’t quite looking where he is going right now. Retrograding at a mere 7 degrees away at 11 degrees Virgo, we’ll certainly see the potential for this lunation to be more intense than normal. We truly have a dynamic energy adding to what is meant to end here as review time in Virgo really picks up the pace. Mars has been motivating what should already be in the process of courageously exiting from this area of the life since 23 January. Ultimately, when Mars goes Direct 13 April, we find the finishing touches will fall into place from this Full Moon’s request for review. By 08 June, Mars will be over the 18th degree of Virgo moving forward, so take note of how these dates relate as time brings us through progress.

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: Motivation fuels you improve your personal habits and health Dear Rams. If you’ve been headstrong and chose not to focus on this important task, it’s imperative you listen up. There is a worn-out way you are being of service to others, so take this time to further upon letting go, as a new routine awaits in the wings about how “I serve.” You may find unrest with your co-workers at present, but let courage take the lead. Pets may require your attention, or a choice is to made about them in your life.
Taurus: The Bull is thrilled to see an artistic or creative adventure come to a conclusion. Children or brain-children captivate your attention now.  You’ve been feeling open to love affairs, yet it is best to take a stance and ponder where they fit upon your stage of life. Choose the courageous response with any apparent conflicts here as well. You will know how to move forward with how “I create” after Mars offering for reflection is over as you reach your birthday, so as always: yes, patience is required here.
Gemini: Emotions swirl as you arrive at conclusions that pertain to your home and family. Don’t logically think that sense of déjà vu is the other side of yourself talking- be sure to listen to the instinctive messages being channeled to you, as these have been strongly motivated to reach you for quite some time. For certain, your normal routine about how “I nurture” is about to change course, and the urge to truly clean up and clear out here wishes for The Twins to unite in full force and iron out all these details.
Cancer: An out-dated mental process Dear Crab must be released, and you already know what’s been the focus of your thoughts on this. You instinctively realize it’s best not to worry, so take this planetary gift and find better ways to think. As you continue to reflect on how “I communicate” and not be so nit-picky and discriminating, you may also find there is peace to be made with a neighbor or sibling that may have recently raised a conflict or two. Think pure and polite, and let your thoughts serve you.
Leo: Focus intensifies further upon your values, earning power, and what is it all worth to you. Now is the time to reclaim and review your “I have” securities. Take a hearty look at possessions, swallow up the pride, and let go of some things so new values will be granted the proper room to grow later. While you may have waited until now to take action, you’ve known this early spring-cleaning was definitely coming. Rest assured, by the time we reach late Spring, you are going to be thrilled space was made here now.
Virgo: Don’t shy away from this magical spotlight! You have already been trying on some new approaches and letting go of “I am” habits that don’t truly serve you. Your innate humility takes this more sensitive time for self without raising the ego bar too high. Your shouldn’t doubt the emotions you feel here now, but you can let the world see those first impressions of yours morph into more practical ones you are meant to share. Be courageous if conflict finds you, for causing a fuss won’t serve you now.
Libra: Those inner layers of your Scales look for more solitary time to even it all out. Your psyche has already been vibrant with internal messages in the midst of how “I process.” Matters of the subconscious are able to be further resolved. If you aren’t already recording your dreams, balance is brought to your waking world when you document and decode them. This release time really helps to clarify the loose ends that are concerning the hidden parts of yourself: so be sure to be friendly to them.
Scorpio: There is an on-going request motivating you take a look at routines within your friendships and organizations. What doesn’t serve you where “I socialize,” now is the perfect opportunity for letting go. Reflect upon the recent roles you’ve played in your groups, and your wishes here will be sure to blossom later on. Ponder deep within your hopes for the future, and wish well, the pure ones will find their light to shine later. Accept that unexpected invitation to go out to play- it’s part of the larger picture to flourish.
Sagittarius: Career matters are driving you to look to decisions that will be made on where it is all going. There is a lot of transition in your sense of “I structure” as reflection is currently unfolding. Your purpose, mission, and reputation all await significant changes, which you -above all signs- are always eager for. Make logical reassessments here now. You also have been toying with authority, and if you’ve been seeing some conflicts here, it’s best to be generous and make sure your optimism serves you best.
Capricorn: Your philosophical outlooks are in review and which ones serve you best for the long-term. There’s an important trip that’s either finishing now, talk of one you will take, or one past you reflect upon. There is an urge to expand somehow, and idealism is surely by your side to make sure you are optimistically climbing the mountain that leads you to higher education. It is a great time to study or re-examine something you’ve already learned, as your entire sense of “I believe” lets go of what is old.
Aquarius: Your wealth and financial revisions have been looking for new life to be brought to them. Not enough intimacy in a personal relationship? This passage reflects upon bringing in a true transformation here, for this is no time to remain fixed in resistance. Feel inventive in how you can find other people’s money to help you, or let them go help someone else. If you are looking to totally break on through to the other side, your entire core is up for peeling away the layers, as you truly tap into how “I transform.”
Pisces: Those closest to you, personal or business related, have already been captivating your attention. Now your feelings really join in for this lunation, as you’ll innately sense the request for release and conclusion here. As people come and go, and you’ll have to tap into your intuition, which, logically shows you the answers you seek here in how “I relate.” Your partners may waver in swimming in the school of courage, not ego, and be a little off course from being polite. Peacefully walk away from any argument.

A Quick Word on The Idealist….

   Venus enters Taurus

05 March 

5:25am EST

Our planet that enjoys balancing it all out within your life takes up journeying with The Bull through 03 April. Knowing Taurus is the sign that consciously aims for security, as Venus visits this piece of the Zodiac Pie, values come into the collective focus to be established and grounded.

This Venus passage prefers to seek harmony through art, music, obedience and contact with what material pleasures can bring to us. Time spent absorbing the sensual can ideally be reached through things like nature, foods and our possessions.

Venus loves her affections, which will find themselves to be strong and steadfast within the slow and patient process Taurus innately knows. Dispositions find sociable, generous, conservative, and placid means to be expressed. Taking note of physical beauty lets in the natural channel she wishes to bestow upon us with plenty of magnetism and charm to back it up.

Just as Mercury begins to offer us reflection as it Retrogrades in Aries upon 12 March, by 13 March, Venus is cozied up next to Jupiter at 09 degrees Taurus. As enthusiasm and optimism intensifies here, a devotion to contemplate deeply surfaces for us to firmly expand what values are wishing to educate to us here. Solid roots are more than ready to be placed within this area of the life, but don’t get too carried away with extravagance as Jupiter will bring plenty of excitability to Venus’s pleasures.

Taurus appreciates stability and endurance, which will the highlight of this transit when determination is recognized. So, in the midst of how Mercury will be creating his tricks for you to honor reassessments within Aries and Pisces, look to The Bull for a gentle place to find some kindly energies to be still emerging within the life.

A Quick Word on The Messenger….

Mercury enters Aries

02 March

6:41am EST

We move ever-closer to the 1st Mercury Retrograde passage of 2012 as our Messenger entered Aries today. While Mercury will only reach 06 degrees within The Ram by 12 March as the backwards dance initiates, the approach has been on since 26 February, ensuring all present communications and movement will be associated with this reflective time from our Zodiac Skies.

As Aries journeys with The Ram, mentalities 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. Once Retrograde begins 12 March, just make sure when acting upon those first thoughts, the I’s are dotted and T’s crossed when making any kinds of important decisions, which truly should not be made until 04 April comes to pass.

Once Retrograde begins, Mercury will take until 23 March to trace his steps back to re-enter Pisces. In Preparing for Mercury’s Reflection, there are some further tips and information here on what we can all expect from what could truly be some “March Madness” that is not referring to basketball season.

As you look to the early Aries degrees in your personal piece of the Zodiac Pie, anticipate some communication stirs to find you. Energies here now are in full speed to exhibit alert, quick, and inspired perceptions. As with any Aries transit, cultivating concentration, patience, repose, and restraint to the excitability unfolding here, makes for all the more successful outcomes.

Preparing for Mercury’s Reflection

“It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change.” ~Charles Darwin

Yes Dear Stars, we have our first Mercury Retrograde passage of 2012 coming up in March. The approach to this offering for reflection from our Messenger planet began 26 February. So, even though Mercury doesn’t start until 12 March to not look where he is going for a few weeks until 04 April, (traveling backwards from 06 degrees Aries back to 23 degrees Pisces), it is best we all take a glance ahead so we are completely aware of how to not let Mercury Retrograde control us when it arrives, but how we can be in ultimate control of it.

Some pretty heavy things are going to surround this upcoming Mercury Retrograde, especially as Mercury will repeatedly journey back and forth over the tipping point between Aries and Pisces, for starters. No matter what planet we may be examining, when they cross over the very last degree, (the 29th of any sign before entering the 0 degree of the next), there are always intensities around. Think of the concept of death and rebirth. This is what the tipping point is all about, where true transformation unfolds in this very same way.

So, we have a Mercury Retrograde passage that is about to do this. Not only will Mercury cross over this tipping point of 29 deg Pisces/0 deg Aries moving forward 02 March, it crosses back over it 23 March going retrograde. Then, under the shadow period, it will be moving forward over it once more 16 April. Mercury’s upcoming journey takes him through the conclusion of the Zodiac to transform to the beginning of it –then transform back to the end- and then transform back to the beginning. Sound confusing? Can you only imagine being our Messenger planet?

While the majority of people in the USA have seen a more than mild winter, get ready -as Mercury wavers between the last sign of it and that of Spring- for a mix of things to unfold in the realms of precipitation and other things weather related. Being a Mercury Retrograde passage can be guaranteed to expect the unexpected when it comes to what comes from Mother Nature, this particular passage has an extra-added surprise. Another planet -that always promises to expect the unexpected- Uranus, will be one that Mercury conjuncts 3 times over our first Retrograde of 2012.

Remember the devastating earthquake in Japan in 2011? This occurred as Uranus -the planet who governs over earthquakes- was on the “tipping point” the very same one that we are going to watch Mercury now waver over, of 29 degrees Pisces/0 degrees Aries. Uranus today, is only at 03 degrees of Aries, and will reach 06 degrees during our Messenger’s entire journey. Mercury conjuncts Uranus moving forward 05 March, going backwards 17 March, and moving forward again 22 April, when the shadow of this Retrograde passage completes.

When you take a planet like Mercury who governs our communications, thinking, travel and its’ mechanisms, mentalities, (virtually anything in life that is responsible for movement), place him in Retrograde over the tipping point of the end and beginning of the Zodiac, while making 3 conjunctions to a planet like Uranus already throwing out surprises in Aries: we all better get ready to adapt accordingly.

St. Patrick’s Day is an especially important date to note. In case you didn’t already know, Mars, is also in the ongoing Retrograde planet mix over in Virgo. Mars Retrograde will just be coming off an inconjunct to Mercury Retrograde, which sets up quite the ill-flow of planetary energies from above down here below. Aggressive, quarrelsome, sharp-tongued and argumentative energies are all the more apt to implode. People are easy to jump to rash conclusions. Aside from the normal caution when driving or doing anything under Mercury’s backward phase, let’s just say, if you choose to over-indulge for the “luck of the Irish” you may find this doesn’t turn out to be so lucky of a choice.

It will be extremely imperative to hold off for the future from 08 March to 22 March, as we will be in a waning phase (our monthly passage of the Moon’s reflection) as well from our Lunar perspective. While the typical rules of the entire Mercury Retrograde passage say nothing should go out into the world or be signed into being that one wishes to see long-term success with, you’ll see people go on ahead unawares and do it anyway. Like we said about toasting too much to the luck of the Irish this year. You’ve been warned.

While the whole world is best to prepare for a true period of reflection, rest, reassess and relax for the majority of March and as we start April; the USA, by numbers, is set to see a ton of things dynamically end within March in a 9 Personal Month. These conclusions, ultimately set up the space for new understandings and beginnings as April emerges. With Uranus already in the area of home/family for the US, we can continue be expectant of the unexpected upon our own soil. When Mercury enters the mix, this wavers over the 3rd/4th house cusp for the US- basically meaning, we are going to see quite a few things alter our thinking and our sense of home/family.

As the nation still circulates in a 6 personal year which is asking us to find compassion, harmony and see both sides of the issues, preparation is in motion for the 7 year that “sharpens the inner saw” of the USA as a whole. If America’s society can start to learn, recognize and accept how to be comfortable with their own ambiguity for starters, then we’ll be on the right track to continue to heal our HEART in reflection to how we are all in the very same LOVE to EVOLVE upon this EARTH.

More to come on what the upcoming Mercury Retrograde personally will mean for you. In the meantime, be cautious of planning for the future from 12 March to 04 April. Be in aware that all activities from 26 February through 12 March, are included in its’ approach, and all the time to smooth out the waves of change it will bring, will come from 04 April to 22 April within the shadow period. It is truly time -as we progress further into the ever-changing stirs of 2012- to be prepared to adapt more than ever before.

We close with a few words from the Lexigram wise. As always, as we look with the poetic phrasing of the anagrams derived from the subject at hand, we have all the correct answers as to how to know its’ truth, and how best to proceed.

NEW Moon in Pisces

Practicing Peace

A new energy is birthing where The Fishes swim in your Zodiac Pie. As the collective’s emotional focus shifts to a sympathetic nature, we take up initiation in the gentle sign that brings us imagination and sentimentality. How will you embrace the powerful instinct that prefers peace to find you as another Waxing Phase begins?

Moon enters Pisces,
Tuesday, 21 February, 12:31pm EST until Thursday, 23 February at 9:48pm EST

Deep and ever-active feelings love to find us as our Lunar Lady takes a swim with The Fishes. It is a great time to ponder in mystery, but be sure not to venture too far in the unknown. Emotions in mutable water lean to a susceptible energy that can easy to gravitate to indecisive, weak-willed, and lazy tendencies. There is great power in cultivating clarity and concentrating on instinct during this passage. Be cautious however of deceptive, self-indulgent, and chaotic feelings.

New Moon, 21 February, 5:35pm EST, 02 degrees Pisces

When our New Moon shows itself in the dreamy energies of Pisces -the sign that consciously aims for understanding- there couldn’t be a more auspicious time to receive impressions that open up our intuitive natures. Be sure to check the Piscean House, in particular the 02-degree Pisces spot, in your personal birth chart to see where a new energy is ideally meant to unfold. This is the area of life that heavily favors initiation in the next two weeks to follow. Seeds that you plant in this half of your Zodiac pie as the light gathers until the next Full Moon upon 08 March, are bound to reap a rich harvest further down the road.

For the Collective

The possibility of restless feelings may create some waves, so make sure you stay swimming in safe waters as this New Moon kicks off. Mercury has been journeying with The Fishes, and placing clues as to how we should best communicate our feelings at this time since 13 February. Neptune and Chiron on either side of our Sun and Moon -at 0 degrees and 04 degrees Pisces respectively- both indicate being within stillness will be the best way to receive the intuitive channel of this passage. Childhood memories may surface, which now wish to change your beliefs upon these first impressions. Wounds from the past can be gently healed at this time.

Since our last Solar Eclipse in Sagittarius, this is the 4th New Moon that initiates at the 2nd degree of the sign, furthering our understanding about nurturing the spiritual awakening that is already in forward motion on this planet. These next two weeks are dynamic in the possibilities to practice peace within our lives. By 08 March, the very last Full Moon releasing at the 18th degree of Virgo, will conclude an intense period of letting go so we can make room for ultimate new beginnings as we celebrate the New Moon in Aries.

Lunar-O-Scope, New Moon in Pisces, 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: No stranger to exploration Dear Ram, so are you ready to really dive into those inner places in your life? The self-discovery you are about to unfold will have you looking forward to all kinds of self-undoing. The spiritual, subconscious realms, and the psychological make-ups of life have already been chatting to you to journey within your own head. You love to take the lead, so keep on striking up new ideas about how you spend intimate time with your spirit and soul.

Taurus: Your friendships have been conversing about change, and now it really takes place. New groups or causes you’ve been thinking about don’t require your patience any longer. Something you’ve wished for since a child can truly come into manifestation- so listen carefully to your dreams. Organizations are quite influential at this time. Accept that invitation to socialize -aside from emotional comfort- there is equal mental satisfaction you’ll gain from attending.

Gemini: A buzz of energy surrounds you now in the career and public life, and continue to be on the look-out for those changes. This is a fantastic time to promote or start a new business. A nice recognition may just come your way, and one you may have visualized since being quite young. Your relationship to authority can see improved communications- allowing you to arrive at an understanding you’ve not been responsible to before as old worn out impressions here disappear.

Cancer: You’ve been stimulated as of late to feel quite imaginative about a new direction you’ll take your philosophies now. Plan a trip, take one, or find ways to broaden your view of the world at large. Remember your vision of the world as a child- this still wishes to speak with you now. With sensitivity and intuition surrounding you, expand your beliefs. Tune-in to your instinct, and let in some exploration within new educational pursuits that equally serve your spiritual desires.

Leo: Your securities and investments have already been communicating how to make decisions about changes here. You can find smart ways to make not only yours, but other people’s money to create wealth for you at present. Somehow, your childhood plays a role in this current process as a surge of regeneration and change within your soul’s core eagerly awaits completion. Go ahead and feel sexy Lion, as you also tap into sensual desires to feel new in mysterious ways.

Virgo: Toss off the logic Virgin, now is not the time to be shy within your partnerships, from your romantic ties to business contacts. Present connections are of special importance to the future, so feel no doubt with any decisions moving forward. Don’t fuss or worry about the details, as the realms of communications have been speaking intuitively to you about the direction to take, which has something to do with remembering impressions you received at a young age.

Libra: Ready to embrace the opportunity with both arms to bring improvements to your health? There are new beginnings in how to find your peace when being of service to the world. Helping others at present really feels perfect. Thinking about taking on a new routine that you may have wanted to do since you were a kid? Implement it now- it has the means to stick around and continue to work. Starting a new relationship with a pet, is also a balance for your Scales.

Scorpio: Admire what power brings you, and combine that with your impressions from childhood, and you’ll have plenty of it at your creative fingertips. Excitement and confidence are now behind whatever your current projects involve. Trust that feeling to be much more playful, especially enjoying any contacts with children. Offspring or a “brain child” wish to captivate your attention now. Take a deserved bow on a center stage, but don’t let your ego take the lead.

Sagittarius: One of your multi-tasks has seen you doing some pre-Spring cleaning Archer, which has brought upon a fresh sparkle to change-up your environment. While you are no stranger to loving it different, you are all ready for them within the home. Your arrows set their aims to focus upon your family life. Aside from your impressions here from youth, déjà vu and psychic experiences, have very important messages at present for you to receive.

Capricorn: Is it possible to make you any wiser old Goat? Well, you know better than most we never stop learning, and you have been stimulated to improve your mental capacity. Go back to your hard-working childhood and see how this connects with the present ideas. Plan a short trip now if you aren’t already on one. A spiritual journey for your mind is a path that will bring you plenty of reward and that will serve in healing, as fresh way of thinking works hard to reach you.

Aquarius: There are some new values originating that get you in the mood now to take stock of your personal possessions. New ways to earn your dollars are finding their individual means to invent themselves at present. Look to your values as a child and what these mean to you now. New life seeks to enter your entire sense of security. You may find yourself making a purchase that grants a deeper understanding about what truly matters to you most, which can heal you.

Pisces: The light is on you Dear Fishes, to put on a fresh new face. Exciting new feelings of self-sufficiency take the lead in the waters you choose to swim in. While your sympathetic concern is always intense for others, be intuitive first and foremost with yourself. What has always motivated you since you were young? As the world awaits to see you differently- you have prepared to reveal the inspiring ways you’ll now receive your first impressions and approaches.

A Quick Word on The Messenger….

Mercury enters Pisces

13 February

8:38pm EST

Our Messenger now swims where The Fishes communicate sympathy, receptivity, reflection, and sensitive perceptions within our lives. Through 02 March, expect some movement and stirs of change to demonstrate themselves here, in subtle and chameleon like ways.

You’ll find, the typical Mercurial logic is not the path that will bring forth the energies that wish to find you at this time, but a true sense of unraveling the mysterious can emerge to aide in embracing the blessings of this passage. However, be sure not to swirl too much in the mutable depths at this time, for the potential for confused, superficial, and hazy mentalities easily may display themselves.

Stability within the mental plane is not as sure of itself while The Messenger takes up with journeying with The Fishes, so it is an extra cautious time to truly sit and be within STILLNESS to properly receive what intuition is meant to find us here over this passage. Another fantastic opportunity to take a up with the true gift of a LISTEN. I SIT IN SILENT TIES IN TEN: 1,12,3,4,5,6,7,8,9, TEN…. I ENLIST IT.

Looking to 26 Feb, Mercury begins his approach to the upcoming Retrograde request for reassessments. You’ll find the actions that unravel between 26 February and 12 March will be part of what this universal offering for down time in this area of the life wishes to present to you while Mercury Retrogrades for the first time in 2012 from 12 March to 04 April.

Mercury re-enters Pisces once more on 23 March, and returns to forward motion 04 April. He will complete his mission by 16 April for all that he requires us to mentally learn from another versatile swim within The Fishes within 2012.

May your communicative channel be intuitively in the know of where to swim in the weeks ahead. As Rumi once said, “Be silent, like the fish.”

Namaste My Dear Stars.

A Quick Word on The Idealist….

Venus enters Aries

08 February
1:05am EST

The planet of compassion and sensuality is way ahead of everyone and not holding back as she excitedly begins anew upon the Zodiac Wheel. Get ready for some pleasures to give you a preview of the Spring to come where The Ram energizes your life, and be sure to take up with some romantic adventure to bring forth enthusiasm here.

Collectively, affections are urged to the impetuous, non-restraint and easy arousals as a smooth harmony can be found through mental activities, devotion to ideals, and concentrating upon the essentials. A straight forward motion happily wishes to display itself as we all can find the means to be just a little more playful within our Winter’s retreat.

While the ongoing Mars Retrograde in Virgo asks for you to stand in your courage, look to Venus in Aries for the outlets to see both sides of the issues at hand. Even though Virgo and Aries are not ideal Zodiac pals, she’ll not wish to argue as these meet up on 22 February in an quincunx (a 150-degree aspect that can cause tensions to arise). When independence is granted, she will do her best to gracefully bring forth some peace that can aide in remembering to back away from any conflict, as it is much more fun to find herself flirting with The Ram than confronting Mars as he toys with logic at present.

True to remaining in her ideal world, Venus does wish to bring forth ease and good times where The Ram takes charge in your Zodiac Pie as she’ll transit here until 05 March. She faces Saturn in Retrograde head on 04 March at 28 degrees, close to the tipping point of Aries and Libra. What you are presently being patient about where The Scales seek to be responsibly balanced as they ponder in review, will have a definite opportunity to find a steady channel for some realizations here to unfold.

Saturn Retrograde in Libra, 2012

Settling Up With Saturn

07 February to 25 June 2012

Our planet of karmic justice takes his last reflective journey within The Scales, where he has officially been requesting responsibility since July 2010. Almost completing his passage through Libra, at the 29th degree, Saturn has decided it’s time for some necessary retreat.

Now, unlike our inner planets, an outer planet’s retrograde such as Saturn is not a complete chaotic change up show that someone like Mercury displays for the collective to experience when he takes a backwards trip. Saturn, being much further out in orbit, will be taking his time to exhibit the lessons he would like us all to pay a little closer attention to. If we comply- we will learn an exorbitant amount from them.

Look back to your life, to the time surrounding 04 November 2011. This is the place -where if we look at the approach period like any Mercury Retrograde- that Saturn began giving you clues about what he now wishes for you to take some necessary time through the end of June to ponder here, and ponder patiently, mind you, as he always prefers.

The clues are within the piece of your Zodiac Pie that span from 22 to 29 degrees Libra. If you have your natal chart, look to any planets place here, or ones placed elsewhere in the chart that make any particular aspects to these degree points. All planetary “chat” will be part of what Saturn wishes to relate through its’ last reflective journey in Libra for another 28 years.

Depending upon your unique mathematical star map, you may notice this years’ Saturn Retrograde will differ from the last in 2011, which spanned from 17 degrees to 10 degrees Libra over 25 January to 12 June. However -from the collective perspective- how Libra simply relates to your personal sun sign can still grant plenty of insight as to where you can best receive the gifts of what this passage has to offer.

Gifts? Some of you are probably laughing to think that Saturn grants us any gifts, being well known as the planet of restriction, hardship and troubled times. Granted, our karmic adjustor certainly is the planet that will cast lessons for us to learn. But these truly, only come into our realities when we do not choose to listen to his wisdom.

Saturn is much like a father, in where, if you do not do what he says, you’ll pay the price in some way shape or form, and typically rather handsomely through some punishment or discipline. If we can look at Saturn as the planet who honestly tells us where our ultimate responsibility must be adhered to, we will always reap rewards of stability. For most, stability is a gift that is sought all throughout our lives, yet most are not willing to be patient enough to wait for it.

As we exist in the most fast paced world in human history, the lessons of Saturn seem to catch up with souls all the easier in our modern society, in part, because no one is taught how to slow down. You’ll discover, by taking a closer look at your natal chart- the slice of life where Saturn is placed is one where you have always had to work just a little harder, and take on the energy here with pure wisdom to achieve positive outcomes. Slacking off and irresponsibility are truly frowned upon by Saturn, who just decides to interject more challenges until one figures out, this is not the way here.

So too, when looking to where the Karmic Adjustor is currently transiting in your life, will these same energies of hard work apply. This doesn’t mean life has to be terrible in whatever area of life he is within. By taking on a slowed down approach, true patience, and owning up to responsibility here- what real rewards can be reaped! Saturn makes anyone genuinely earn what comes to them through diligent ambition and effort, he does not just hand it over on a silver platter.

So, listen carefully to your Father Saturn. He is asking for you to apply some true “spiritual elbow grease” and take up with reflection, so that as he finishes up his karmic duties in Libra, you can move forward with all the wisdom in the world under your belt. From the collective perspective, you’ll probably agree since July 2010, you are working overtime here and have seen a slowing down as he currently asks for a mature attitude to unfold.

Remember, if you know your natal chart, check out the house that 22 to 29 deg Libra falls, and discover further details about where you are able to reap rewards by tuning into Saturn’s request for patience, learning through experience and embracing the slower pace life is meant to have here for this planetary pass.

As the tortoise innately knew over the hare, “slow and steady wins the race.” Be kind and listen to the quiet pace that Saturn wishes for you to recognize and deeply understand as your soul continues on in its’ karmic journey here to evolve.

LUNAR-O-SCOPE, FULL MOON in LEO, 2012

Full Moon in Leo


Creative Intelligence

Looking to what has gathered since our New Moon in Aquarius 23 January, it’s time to bring all into fruition within the spotlight of Leo. As this 5th waning phase in a row now begins at the 18th degree of the sign, be ready to continue in the Universe’s request for material release and further spiritual alignment where the Lion reigns within your Zodiac forest.

Moon enters Leo,
Monday, 06 February at 8:24am EST to Wednesday, 08 February at 12:32pm EST
For those who are checking their ego at the door: fertile instincts, passionate feelings- generous, confident, and loyal energies can indeed emerge. The capacity for leadership, receiving admiration, radiating warmth and a creative flare are the natural gifts of Moon in Leo. When dignified responses verses pompous reactions are the practice, the outcome of truly sensing what is heartfelt becomes the victor as this lunar transit passes.

Full Moon, 07 February, 4:54pm EST, 18 degrees Leo
We all know the Full Moon typically brings intensity to our emotions. The days leading up to and following The Lion’s luminous showcase may bring up drama, opinionated feelings, self-indulgence, and conceited attitudes to those unaware. Steer clear of unbridled desires and inflammatory reactions; be on the lookout for brash, rude, and militant attitudes to be flying around.

Be sure to check the Leo House, in particular the 18-degree piece, in your natal birth chart to see where a release is ideally meant to unfold in your life. As this intriguing degree point asks us to pay close attention to any Spiritual Material Conflict within our lives as the 18 requests, see how the next two weeks through 21 February points you to reflection here and do a little mid-winter cleaning.

For the Collective
What you also find toying with the Full Moon’s natural opposition of our Sun and Moon is the mix of Mercury, as he conjuncts our Sun and will too, oppose the Moon at 18 degrees Aquarius. As the Sun and Mercury bring forth intense clear thinking which may produce some ingenious intelligence, our opposing Leo Moon may try to pull against these ideas. Honing in on the burst of creativity that this lunation can emerge, it is best to honor benevolent feelings. Lively imaginations will be present, as the collective can notice a lot of change wishing to speak with us all. We are best to let any restless, worrisome, and wavering emotions go- instead absorbing the perceptive ways that a SILENT LISTEN allows this lunation to bring forth it’s clever messages to us.

A Full Moon that directly opposes Mercury has some heavy potentials to release slanderous energies with the excitability it can create, so be sure to be aware of sharp tongues spewing off ego related statements. It may be interesting to note -in such a place as the USA with its’ current political campaign heat- what may surface here with those in power. Egos not left at the door will be drawn to drama like never before, so do expect some queens to be on their stage for this pass.

Lunar-O-Scope, Full Moon in Leo, 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: It’s a true time for you Rams to finish up something upon the stage of your life! Planning to focus upon completing that creative adventure you’ve been diligently working on holds your attention. Should you have children, they may require your attention now, or one of your “brain children.” Whatever love affair flirts with you, this can easily move on to a higher level. Reflection mode will be required to decide whether things should move forward or be dissolved, and keep communication here as your friend.

Taurus: There are a many conclusions you will be arriving at that pertain to your home and family life. Watch out for any domesticated drama, and especially now don’t react to it- respond! Should a sense of stagnation be present- you may not feel the room to move. Look to the existing structure that may no longer be working. That sense of déjà vu has a high potential to occur, so listen to that instinct you hear from within, as its’ message is of karmic importance. Avoid being sharp of the tongue in public or work.

Gemini: What is the thought process longer serving you Dear MINI GEM? There is a worn out pattern desiring release here. You’ll find comfort by reviewing something you have recently learned. This waning passage is ideal for completing a needed educational pursuit that enlivens that need to know intellect of yours. Siblings and neighbors are around, but should they bother you, it’s time that you start thinking about another journey you are about to take if you aren’t already one that can teach you plenty.

Cancer: Financially, you should be feeling better about how you are taking in your daily bread. Spending time re-evaluating your value system, allows you to re-anchor your securities. Take a hearty look at your possessions, and what those claws no longer need to hold onto, let them wash away with the tide. Making room here now will open the door for something new to bless you later on, which is equally being talked about where you make things worth even more. Transformation is talking, so listen up.

Leo: The Lunar spotlight shines upon the King of the Forest! Be careful not to take everything around you completely to heart. In fact, it is favored right now, that you reflect upon what approaches no longer work for you and those tiresome first impressions. Sharpening the saw here is a marvelous antidote for this transit- that allows plenty of conversation to then emerge with those you partner with. Humility is real insight you need, as the world awaits for you to shed the worn out mask that you’ve now outgrown.

Virgo: Those logical feelings may not find you now. Whether it makes sense or not, it is best to take a look at the inner layers of your psyche- and not always the most comfortable place for your Virgins, the unknown. However, your subconscious is quite primed for you to pay attention to the most hidden parts of yourself. Don’t be afraid to be of service to what you see, for healing old wounds here makes room for brilliant self-realizations that will naturally bring better communications with your health and co-workers.

Libra: All will be a buzz of energy in your friendships and organizations. While you are the Zodiac Star of the never-ending balancing act of life, if there is a friend right now who is not peaceful to you, it’s time to let them go, or work it out. Prioritize and goal set in your groups right now so all of your wishes come true later on. Accept that unexpected invitation to get out and socialize: it holds some keys to the future- and you’ll find more than likely, you find your-self on stage which becomes the talk of the party.

Scorpio: Career matters are on the surface right now, and you are urged to reflect upon them. Your purpose, mission, and reputation await significant changes, as your public image takes center stage. Your views upon authority may also find you probing over this waning phase. Family and home life is feeling something fresh, but should misunderstandings emerge, don’t take revenge. Remember to soar above it all, as you find your preferred outcomes utilizing the scope that your Eagle eye is so innate at gathering.

Sagittarius: Aim your arrows in the direction of gaining more of that philosophy you love so much Archer. Reflecting upon your beliefs also captivates you. If you aren’t on a trip, you’ll be feeling like making plans for one- but it must stimulate your ever-expanding intellect and be somewhere you’ve never been before. However you can find the way to travel, make sure you are in pursuit of something that puts your spirit in higher education. Your mind has great thoughts to share, so write them down.

Capricorn: Looking to make some financial revisions old Goat? It’s a prominent time to reassess investments, get to those taxes, or review your shared/joint resources. While you are sometime unsure of deep changes, rest assured these are ready to be embraced now. Is there a need for more intimacy in a personal relationship? Now is a fantastic time to focus upon things on a physical level, as your drive right now is completely illuminated! This core transformation, makes you value what you have all the more.

Aquarius: Those closest to you, personal or business related, now take your center emotional stage. You feel less detached within these than normal, as you yearn for human contact. If a decision needs to be made here, its’ answer will completely unfold by the next New Moon. However, now is not the time to withdraw, but to look to the self to see how to bring new life to the situation at hand. Loads of new approaches are trying to reinvent you, so let them show you a unique way to be seen in the world.

Pisces: Feeling the urge to improve your routine, personal habits, or health? Don’t doubt your psychic powers now Dear Fishes, because your intuition is spot on! Let go of a habit that makes you feel too confined. There are definite changes evolving with your service to the world, so hone in on daily patterns and make sure the waters you are swimming in are healthy and safe ones. Look to your dreams right now to especially communicate the answers you seek to complete the puzzles of your waking world.

A Quick Word on The Mystic at Home in Pisces

SharitaStarPsychicofthePlanNeptune enters Pisces

03 February 2012
2:03pm EST

One of the most significant outer planetary shifts since Uranus entered Aries in 2011, Neptune now returns to its’ comfort zone at home with The Fishes. Aside from the little “taste” of this energy from April to August in 2011, the collective has not seen Neptune at 0 degrees Pisces since 07 December 1848, where it transited until 14 February 1862.

This passage -marking the next 14 years until Neptune enters Aries in 2025- promises that humanity gets syrupy sweet in spiritual realms, as beliefs in the unknown and what we can not physically “see” become all the more respected, as well as in the healing arts. Get ready for true telepathic ties and genuine compassion to bring our entire consciousness to the next level.

The collective can expect this to be time when the unknown -yes all of those things that we ideally can not tangibly see nor touch- will become all the more “real.” Being The Mystic rules over all things psychic and spiritual, these realms truly will come into their glory, emitting their fullest light and being recognized for absolute validity like never before.

So, if you are in the “spirit business” expect to see quite an upswing in your work. For those who are merely interested in what rewards can be reaped by paying attention to one’s dreams and the extent of whatever form of self-knowledge you may seek has to offer: be ready to embark upon an exciting journey in getting to know your soul better.

One thing to be in the know of as we collectively enter Neptune returning home. Both our Mystic planet and the sign of Pisces (and while we are at it, the Number 7 vibrations too) all are known to have to be cautious when it comes to illusion and delusion within the life. Albeit Neptune will be happy as any fish in the sea schooling around where it is most comfortable; it is a word to the wise that the potential to get carried away within the vast seas and depths of escapism is strong, obvious making the real truth appear not to be so clear at times.

While Neptune & Pisces energies love the unknown, only the unknown that is arrived at through the calm of a silent listen will be valid to understand and value. As Rumi once said, “Be silent, like the fish.” This is how anyone will gain the gifts of this rare and mysterious time in history. Should one get caught up in the storm of denial, beware of the vicious waves that can come crashing. Running from facing the truth, no matter how horrid it may be, sadly will inhibit the innate ability to see to become all the more blocked. Remember that sympathy for humanity is about to hit an all time high.

Undoubtedly you may have already noticed the energy of Neptune in Pisces finding you. People have seen telepathy start to happen more and more, and this is just the beginning of truly tapping into how powerful this form of communication can be amongst the human race. Have you been thinking of someone you know as of late and “oddly” they have called or contacted you, “seemingly” out of the blue? That’s no coincidence, by the way. Get used to it happening more and more.

Aside from what we will see expand within our personal connections, people have been equally gravitating to getting in touch with their true sense of self. So many people tend to look outside for the answers they seek, or to find whatever they may believe is “enlightenment.” But spend a bit more time as the years of Neptune in Pisces go on, and you’ll become more assured: the only answers that you really are seeking, simply come from within. Remember what Rumi said about being still.

As we really take in a true LISTEN:
I SIT IN SILENT TIES IN TEN: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9, TEN… I ENLIST IT.

As always from the collective horoscope glance, a quick guide is provided that will let you see what area of life calls for your deepest sense of stillness for years to come. Here is where to guard against being fooled by things wishing to hide the truth of the matter, and more than likely, where an awakening within your sense of self will undoubtedly occur on a gradual level.

Aries: Inner Psyche/Clearing of the Past

Taurus: Innovations/Friendships/Organizations

Gemini: Career/Public Life/Opportunities

Cancer: Philosophies/Foreign Travel/Education

Leo: Transformations/Sexuality/Wealth

Virgo: Partnerships/Marriage/Balance with Others

Libra: Health/Being of Service/Employees/Pets

Scorpio: Creativity/Children/Love Affairs

Sagittarius: Home/Family/Emotions/Environments

Capricorn: Thinking/Mentality/Communications

Aquarius: Values/Earning Power/Possessions

Pisces: Approaches/Mask to the World/Motivations

Happy Neptune entering Pisces! As our dear friend Albert Einstein once said on both counts relating to Neptune, “Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.” “The only real valuable thing is intuition.”

Dream on where The Fishes swim in your life, and by all means, dream well.

Namaste Dear Stars.
