What’s Really in a Word? THANKSGIVING

HOOKAs the USA takes its’ annual traditional day off to eat Thursday, one would probably never stop to think there is too much to say from the word of Thanksgiving. Yet, even this title contains a mighty message that spells out the truth from the letters composing it. A bit poetic in this translation, we found some pretty profound things that the Lexigrams of our giant day of gratitude here in America wanted us all to equally pause and ponder.

THANKSGIVING

~AS I VISIT KIN I THINK IN GIANT THANKS
~I THANK A SAINT IN A VAST GAIN
~I THANK AS I IN A GIVING GAIN
~INSIGHT IS SHINING AS I THANK
~TAKING IN A GIANT GIVING I ASK
~INSIGHT IS HINTING I SING
~I GAIN AS I VANISH, SINKING A GIANT SIN IN HAVING HATING
~I IN A GIANT GAIN IN A GIVING TASK
~AS I TAKING IN THIS INSIGHT
~THIS HINTS I IN A THANKING GAIN
~I THINKS I IN A VAST GAINING IN INSIGHT THINGS

Thanksgiving’s name expression via Numerology, vibrates to the Jupiter ruled 39. Reducing further to 12 down to a singular 3, the philosopher planet of expansion, wisdom and good fortune guides this more than excessive feasting holiday. Oddly enough, Thanksgiving falls under the first week of the Sun’s passage through the Astrology sign of Sagittarius, also ruled by Jupiter. (we don’t find this to be any kind of coincidence that this holiday falls under such an appropriate zodiac sign that does everything in life BIG!)

What is interesting to note about the energies that Thanksgiving actually requests of us all -besides the revelations of its’ Lexigrams- also can be seen within the Chaldean Karmic Mystery of the 39/12’s The Sacrifice – The Victim. Aside from all of the expanding waistlines and tired after the turkey tackle, there is a deep message here that the collective in the United States is meant to adhere to, involving education, and the learning of lessons. As the Chaldeans so innately understood about the meaning behind the 39/12:“39/12 represents the educational process on all levels, the submission of the will required and the sacrifices necessary to achieve knowledge and wisdom, on both the spiritual and the intellectual levels. When the intellect is sacrificed to the feelings, the mind will be illuminated with the answers it seeks. Look within for the solution. Attention paid to the requirements of education will end suffering and bring success.”

Whether your look at it from numbers or zodiac signs, Thanksgiving equally enjoys it’s educational pursuits. True to its’ varying Sagittarius “birthday” year to year, anyone influenced by The Archer is well known to aim for them. Sometimes generous to a fault, any Sagittarius or 3 energy prefers to point their arrows in the directions of optimism, expansion, and truth.

So, this Thanksgiving, be sure to take some time to spread a little taste of knowledge and wisdom around your holiday festivities. Going within upon this day and seeking to peacefully educate others with sincere compassionate acts can make all of the difference in attracting complete abundance throughout the remainder of your holiday season.

The history books choose to tell us the colonies that became the United States of America originally shared this holiday with the Native American Indians who once had freedom and called the very ground we all live upon today home. Perhaps it is an education to remember to give thanks to them for the blessings we’ll be counting as we celebrate in our homes. And perhaps even more, those blessings should be acknowledged all other 364 days of the year.

We share with you one of their native wisdoms, one that educates any soul in how to bring out our personal best, and tame any natural negative tendencies one as being human, will toy with.

A Grandfather from the Cherokee Nation was talking with his Grandson.

“A fight is going on inside me,” he said to the boy.

“It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves.”

“One wolf is evil and ugly; He is anger, envy, war, greed, self-pity, sorrow, regret, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, selfishness and arrogance.”

“The other wolf is beautiful and good: He is friendly, joyful, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, justice, fairness, empathy, generosity, true, compassionate, and deep VISION.”

“This same fight is going on inside you, and inside of every other human as well.”

The Grandson paused in deep reflection because of what his Grandfather had just said. The he finally cried out: “Oyee! Grandfather, which wolf will win?”

The elder Cherokee replied, “The wolf that you feed.”

Wishing each and every Star safety, gratitude, health, light, and love to innately know which wolf to feed this HAPPY Thanksgiving. Namaste.

LUNAR-O-SCOPE, FULL MOON in TAURUS, 2010

FULL Moon in Taurus
29 degrees Taurus

21 November
12:27pmEST

Once again, our Moon is in the opposing energies of our Sun! A FULL Moon in Taurus brings forth deep, intuitive, and sensuous feelings as our Lunar Light takes a stance with The Bull, Friday 19 November, 5:04amEST, until Sunday, 21 November at 1:46pmEST.

Opportunity is knocking at the collective’s door at this time of the month when our emotions enter reflection mode. When our Full Moon embarks in the practical and patience energies of Taurus -the sign that consciously aims for security- we are now ready to allow an enduring and resourceful spirit guide our “digging up” of what is best to clear out where the Bull fixes things within our lives. Earth is Taurus’s elemental influence, so look to this passage to allow feelings to uproot, and change the grounding force that may no longer be working optimally.

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.

Be sure to check the Taurus House, in particular the 29-degree Taurus spot, in your natal birth chart to see where a release of energy is ideally meant to unfold. This is the area of life that requests the proper reflection in the next two weeks to follow. What you let go of within in this section of your Zodiac pie until the next New Moon upon 05 December makes the necessary space for new things to come in the future.

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. 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.

LUNAR-O-SCOPE, FULL Moon in Taurus, 2010

Aries: There is a direction you’ll be in the mood to lead yourself to that brings on a change within your sense of values as you take stock of your personal possessions. How you earn your dollars may fluctuate. Something that you think brings you a sense of security is ready to fly away, so feel free to make positive choices here now- tossing out things in the home is ideal. But of course you love making impulsive purchases- be on the look out for one at a bargain price that emerges that serves a practical purpose in grounding your fire a bit.

Taurus: It’s your month constant Bull to release an old worn out mask you wear. Be ready for some exciting and stirring approaches that may just unearth your roots a little bit. We know you like slower changes, but right now, don’t resist the release of energy wishing to find you! Avoid surgery over these dates, and take time to focus upon you, as this is the perfect time to re-activate the self. The ways you take in those first impressions also ask you for reflection now.

Gemini: It may not seem logical for both sides of you, but it is time to unite the energies within those inner places and deeper waters in your life. The spiritual, subconscious realms, and the psychological make-ups of life call for you to really get away from your chatty self, so you can relinquish what is necessary from the past. There is such value in the inner security you’ll discover, and with that cleverness you innately have, what dissipates here allows you to carry on in your communications properly for a long time to come.

Cancer: Your friendships are this month’s lunar focus, so whatever may need to be cleared out, go with your gut to let them go. Hopes and wishes you may have are equally in need of re-examination. If there is a group or cause you’ve been thinking about that no longer works for you, don’t remain in your shell, the time is now to allow those claws to release their grip. Do accept that possible unexpected invitation to socialize, for there is a renewed sense of patience, contentment, and familiarity you’ll gain from attending.

Leo: You’ve been building to redefine what harvest, stability, and reward really mean to you within your career and public life. Now what you no longer need to move forward here, is ready to stop working for you before you take on more acres within the forest your reign Lion. Equally, this is a fantastic time to reflect upon the promotion or start of a new business. There still is a nice recognition to come your way if you’ve done your proper legwork to receive it. Reconsider a reformed view within your take on authority that you have not been responsible to up till now.

Virgo: Inspiration is fueling where you reflect upon your philosophies and what you believe. Feeling that urge to take a trip Virgin? This is a prime time to reflect upon ones you’ve recently had, and how you can make plans for better ones in the future. Reconsider ways to broaden your view of the world at large. While you equally revisit adventures that engage your expansion, there are renewed educational pursuits you can take on here which make the perfect space to serve your traveling and adventurous aims for the long-term.

Libra: You are well equipped to weigh the pros and cons concerning your securities and investments, as now is the ideal time to reflect upon future decisions to be made about any changes in these areas. The doors are now open to rest in review of the transformations that desire completion, as the feelings to embark upon a rebirth strongly find you. We know you are beautiful not to mention charming, and equally know you’ll enjoy the passion you may find being friendly to those sexy feelings that will be stirring in the air- just remember to be patient when taking action!

Scorpio: Your partnerships- romantic or business, are where you will be finding your probing abilities to research the truth of the matter now. You’ve been already wondering what should be staying or going in this area of the life, so the time is here to make the space that is required. The people you reflect upon over this waning period are of special importance to the successes of your future endeavors. You’ll find some mysteries here will be unraveled, as your sense of security about those you are closest to gets a refresher. Then, you can make practical plans with all of your relationships, and be able to enjoy them to the fullest.

Sagittarius: Aim your arrows towards your health Dear Archer, because all you’ve been feeling as of late is now ready to bring on the improvement! There’s a habit you should let go that will do wonders to bring in some renewed feelings of honesty for yourself. How you serve others has also been in the process of reworking itself, and unleashing a worn-out routine also brings plenty of benefit for your long-term service. Look to let go of old patterns where you are employed. Be extra cautious with pets and their whereabouts.

Capricorn: While you always enjoy the ambitious pursuit, it is your creative nature that now desires your full attention for this request for release Old Goat. Perfection is never too far away from you, and this energy now watches over whatever your current project involves, asking you reassess your inspired ideas. Playful feelings do surround you, especially engaging in any contacts with children. “Brain children” or your offspring captivate your reflection. There is a renewed passion here for you to embrace that is meant to take center-stage.

Aquarius: Ready to re-invent in the home Water Bearer? Reflecting upon improving this area of the life allows your individual way of doing things to flourish all the more later on. Family time is rewarding right now, as they can appreciate your innovative ideas for change, and may not look upon you so eccentrically at this time. We already know you possess a prophetic nature, but be on the look-out for those psychic and déjà vu experiences, as there are important messages you can tap into now.

Pisces: The waters your mentality and thinking have been swimming in Dear Fishes are ready for some recycle time. Your mental capacity is ready to absorb some needed reflection like a sponge. That short trip you recently went on lingers on the brain, and there’s no reason you can’t plan another that will be even more satisfying! Your intuitive mind takes a needed rest here reassessing the realms of your communications, and it’s meant to show a revelation that uproots what logically should not remain in your life now. One more word of advice: patience is required here.

LUNAR-O-SCOPE, NEW MOON in SCORPIO, 2010

NEW Moon in Scorpio,
13 Degrees,
06 November,
12:52amEDT

We now enter the second Waxing Phase of Autumn. While our Sun is still amidst the transformations of Scorpio, the Moon will naturally “disappear” into the night sky, then begin to gather light once more within the same sign of Scorpio. The collective’s emotions enter The Eagle Friday, 05 November at 2:16amEDT, until Sunday 07 at 3:28amEST.

With any New Moon occurring in a water sign, our emotions have all the more tendency to become a powerful force over us. This month, as the Sun reaches Scorpio at 13 degrees (urging us to submit to regeneration and change), the Moon equally asks that we take this time to embark upon new beginnings through our emotional take on transformation and self-control, as she kicks off initiations in this precise piece of the Zodiac Pie.

Keep in mind, The Romantic Venus will continue her REtrograde activity through 18 November, and just so happens to also be transiting at 0 degrees Scorpio, just before dipping back into Libra. This is also an auspicious number for the completion of cycles to occur under. The things we cherish most from possessions to relationships are great places to be focusing reflection upon at present. Allowing necessary changes here brings forth reward.

Be open to the request of our New Moon in Scorpio. This is a collective calling to unlock some new energies concerning our determination, sensitivities, and power to investigate. Intense feelings and the capacity for reliving past experiences are strong. Be aware however of stinging, self-tormenting, and defiant reactions.

A New Moon in Scorpio brings forth an acute instinct and imagination. Your Scorpio piece of your personal Zodiac Pie will point to where you will most certainly feel a magnetic force this weekend, as well as the area of life to focus upon all anew for the next two weeks till our next Full Moon upon 21 November. (Be sure to watch those dos and don’ts of the current Venus REtrograde however through the 18th Nov.)

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. Keep in mind, the exact casting of the natal birth chart determines how the current transits of the planets affect you.

LUNAR-O-SCOPE, New Moon in Scorpio, 2010

Aries: If you have already been feeling the urge to REassess your investments, taxes, shared/joint resources, this is a fine place to focus your attention right now for the future. REmember just look first, aligning those legal moves after the 18th. You’re also transforming in ways that may even be taking you in directions you’ve never known before. Allow these deep changes to emerge, and the stir that’s been going on with your deepest sense of personal regeneration moves forward intensely now.

Taurus: You’ve been determined to share your feelings about those closest to you as of late, personal or business related. Try to steer clear about being fixed to the past, but rather, let the past be your teacher to now bring on a fresh attitude with those you are intimate with. Whatever doors may have recently closed in your life, these are not the ones to focus on. Recognizing how they have transformed you will optimally allow the new ones to open in your life all the easier.

Gemini: Your routine, personal habits, and health have been seeking both sides of you to unite to bring on some regeneration. The only requirement here is that you to stop moving, at least for a little while! Take a look at the way you are being of service to others, for there are new improvements to embark upon here. Relationships to those you are employed with also can find new ways to co-operate and move optimally forward, but hold off on those legalities until after 18 November.

Cancer: There is a new artistic or creative adventure that awaits your imagination to flourish within. While you more than likely have been also reassessing some that are already underway, there is a fresh energy that wishes to find you here now. Children may be on your mind, or require your focus now. Old love affairs also have been entertaining you, and now you are anxious to figure out whether they are meant to become something you bring the curtain up or down upon. Just wait until after 18 November to totally decide upon the something new.

Leo: Home and family have been reigning in the Lion’s forest, and there are issues concerning them that will find a new way of being now. This has been a great time to truly understand what this area of life means to you, and it’s time to allow regenerative energies in here to let in something to change it for the better. Play close attention to any déjà vu – under this especially psychic new moon you’ll be sure to receive an extra intense and powerful message.

Virgo: You’ve really been having some fun re-organizing your thinking Dear Virgin. While this hasn’t been a good time to hone in on your tendency to doubt, it is best you remain in positive thoughts now. 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 too much logic. Something has been holding your thought process back for a long time that urges a complete transformation to shine upon you now.

Libra: Your earning power and value system have been urging your investigation, as now is the time to think about new ways to balance your securities. There is a new possession that is on the way, and if it shows itself before 18 November, better make sure it is a bargain! Remember at the end of it all, there is no reason to be dependant upon what you no longer need. Steer clear of impulsive and luxury purchases.

Scorpio: It is the time of the year to bring it all on anew Eagle! As Venus has been requesting you to let go of what doesn’t fit into your passionate and magnetic world, there now are new approaches that await your detective solution. There is a different way the world is about to see you- and you are ever so thrilled to remain mysterious with that new mask you are about to put on.

Sagittarius: There’s been a plenty of arrows shooting off in your subconscious realms as of late that wants to take you into your inner aims Archer. Your ethereal world is now ready to go into some intense territory, as some matters of the subconscious wish to find new ways to reveal themselves to you now. There’s a fresh path to your sense of spirituality you’ll also unravel that once revealed, surely will have you aiming higher than ever before.

Capricorn: Have you been adhering to Venus’s recent request to hold up on the work old Goat and labor with your friendships and organizations? You may find yourself reliving a many experiences within the roles you’ve played in your groups right now. There is an ultimate responsibility here that 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. Accept that unexpected social invitation- it will bring you something grand for your long-term goals.

Aquarius: Matters of work and toil have been on the surface right now, and now there is a new invention that finds birth here. Your purpose, mission, and reputation all await and welcome new changes now. There is an intense and passionate new life you are meant to bring to the career, so detach yourself from any stagnation that may be holding you back from your own truth. Best to sign any agreements for the long-term after 18 November.

Pisces: For sure you’ve been thinking about another adventure or ones you’ve been on Dear Fishes. The waters are safe now to go ahead and make those future plans. Even if you only take a trip in the mind- you are urged to find some real higher education that awakens a new philosophy in you. You’ve been swimming far away as of late from those worn-out beliefs that need to fall to the bottom of your sea. Your gravitation to the psychic realms should be especially rewarding. Now is not the time to let logic bring you to fear of the unknown, while it only makes perfect sense to allow certain parts of the past to remain where they belong.

LUNAR-O-SCOPE, 2nd FULL MOON in ARIES, 2010

FULL Moon in Aries
29 degrees

22 Oct
9:37pm EDT


Our Moon once again takes on the opposing energies of our Sun! A FULL Moon in Aries brings forth independent and easily aroused feelings as our Lunar Light takes charge of what needs to be unraveled with The Ram, Wednesday 20 October at 11:23am EDT until Saturday, 23 October at 10:30pm EDT.

Embrace this time of the month as our emotions are given their necessary time to reflect upon all that has transpired during the Waxing Phase. Ultimately what has gathered in our lives from the Libra house that kicked off those initiations upon 07 October, now finds the necessary time to reassess and review.

When our Full Moon peaks in the driving energies of Aries -the sign that consciously aims for leadership- the collective is ready to really take on a fearless approach to this process. Fire is Aries elemental influence, so something igniting is definitely meant to spark as quick realizations can be attained.

Aries energy must 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, it is the cultivation of moderation, patience, forethought, and humility that are wise to adhere to.

Be sure to check the Aries House, in particular the 29-degree Aries spot, in your personal birth chart to see where a releasing energy is ideally meant to unfold. This is the area of life that requests your intimate reflection in the next two weeks to follow. What can be cleaned up in this section of your Zodiac pie until the next New Moon upon 06 November are bound to reap a rich harvest further down the road.

For the collective horoscope, we offer some simple advice for every sign from the outer vantage point. With this second turn of a Full Moon in Aries, we see a true sweep from last month’s 0 degree kick-off to this months’ 29 degree conclusion. 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 full mathematical analysis of the individual birth chart that truly indicates how the current planetary energies are uniquely affecting you.

LUNAR-O-SCOPE, 2nd FULL MOON in ARIES, 2010

Aries: It’s your month once again Mighty Rams to be in the Lunar spotlight to put it all in perspective on how the world views you. Get ready for some exciting and stirring feelings that wish to alter your normal pioneering approach. Just make sure your not too headstrong! We all know you tend to dive in without thinking at times, so take this second opportunity time to truly pause and re-activate the self.

Taurus: It’s not the easiest place for the Bull to go, on that dive into those inner places in your life. Yet, the Universe is requesting you go once more into the deeper part of yourself to arrive at the realization of what needs to be let go of. 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. There is an internal beauty you are meant to take root with to bring on liberation, and it will help you channel your natural virtue of patience all the more if you let it.

Gemini: Your friendships and organizations once more wish to capture your ever-active thoughts, Mini Gem. If there is a group or cause you’ve been thinking about what your true part is within, don’t remain split, the time is now to reassess what this means to you. Remember what has come into play since the last Full Moon, as it is ready to be concluded now. You always love conversation, and you’ll be more than happy to join in whatever kind of fun is going on. Accept that unexpected invitation to socialize, for there is equal mental satisfaction that allows a deep reflection to unfold which you’ll gain from attending.

Cancer: Harvest, stability, and reward are shining brightly upon you in the career and public life, so this is no time to be crabby! This energy offers the last chance to cast away your worries. Allow a freeing energy to emerge to finally clear out what no longer may be working in your business, or work place. Do expect a nice recognition to come your way if you’ve done your proper legwork to receive it. How you view your relationship to authority also requests your contemplation, as this ultimately is your responsibility to review once more.

Leo: Inspiration continues to fuel the path you take your philosophies to, and those areas of life where you travel and keep on expanding. There is still plenty of reflection surrounding a recent trip you may have taken or one in the future taking you far outside of the forest Lion. This second basking in the lunar light ideally lets you find ways to broaden your view of the world at large. Take this opportunity to keep igniting your urges to expand, but be sure you are taking the lead as you aim to figure out which educational pursuits truly do whole-heartedly serve you.

Virgo: Your securities and investments once again require some reorganizing. Take these two weeks to come to decisions about any changes, but make sure your choices are made with all those details at hand after the New Moon upon the 06 November. With the current economic state and Venus Retrograde through the 18 November, your logic will certainly come in handy here to remain conservative. There is a surge of transformation that finds its’ completion, and there’s no doubt you’ going to feel renewed in ways like never before. Whatever has been recently calling to your sexual nature, take time to reflect upon the excitement here and then await to see what discoveries will soon find you.

Libra: While your partnerships always find ways to be on your mind- make the decision to bask in the reflective light here again this month, including your romantic ties to business contacts. You’ll find the people you contemplate those pro’s and cons over during this second waning period from Aries are meant to stay or leave. There is definitely a friendly spark you ignite as you now once more reassess the way you arrive at balance in doing what you love to do best: relating to others.

Scorpio: Tap once more into those regenerative powers, because you know you’ve been feeling they are now ready to bring improvement to your health and all the ways you find that deep satisfaction when being of service. There’s still an old routine you should strive to let go of now that no longer serves you. While perfection is a journey- take a look at where you can release your hold on it being a destination. Your pets may require extra attention from you now.

Sagittarius: You love fire in all of its’ forms, and now you’ll find you still have all sorts of illumination at your fingertips when it comes your creativity. There is an intense leading energy that wants you to keep reviewing whatever your current project involves. You enjoy feeling playful, and will find solace especially involving any contacts with children. “Brain children” or your offspring equally want to captivate your attention now, as you revise your aims here in this second lunar pass. Your arrows find they are targeting a completion as you take a creative adventure to a more solid place.

Capricorn: Stop working as there is still cleaning to do at home Dear Goat! Your home environment desires your toil and perfectionism. Whatever you no longer desire to be in your environment, let it all go and donate it to charity (totally Venus Retrograde approved!) Now once more is the time to get those lingering around the house tasks done, with equal focus upon your family life. It’s not like you to get too psychic, yet you are meant to take note of any déjà vu experiences, whose channels are open and ready for you to receive their important messages now.

Aquarius: What no longer needs to be swirling around in your thought process Water Bearer? This Full Moon once more is a fabulous time to reinvent original ways you can improve upon your mental capacity. There is still time to plan a short trip now if you aren’t already on one, or reflect upon a recent one. The direction your prophetic mind takes is meant to show a reconnection to a vision probably only you will understand. Your thinking has really been looking forward to this mental clean-up, so you can finally get back to bringing all those new things to life.

Pisces: As much as you love this time of the month to reflect upon the past Dear Fishes, there is a different course you’re in the mood for now that requests more realignment upon your sense of values while taking stock of your personal possessions. How you earn your dollars is another area you’ll find these relinquishing energies entertaining you again- be sure to write down what shows up here, and chart a new curse for these after 06 November. Your entire sense of security will find plenty of conclusions as you explore and reexamine it now. There is still something material that you innately know you no longer need, and should release from your possession.

VENUS RETROGRADE, 08 OCT – 18 NOV

VENUS RETROGRADE
Begins: 03:05am EDT,
08 Oct at 13 deg Scorpio

Direct: 4:18pm EST,
18 Nov at 27 deg Libra

The lover of peace, romance, money, and harmony now enters her own balancing it all out 42-day retrograde period. One of the Zodiac’s benefic and inner planets, her influence grants gentleness, ease, and strength wherever her graceful energy is currently visiting within the Zodiac Pie. As Venus decides to now to not “look where she is going,” the collective can expect the natural benefits of this transit while in Scorpio back to Libra to be slightly thwarted.

Venus affects the collectives’ values- as well as our earning potential, money, romance, and our ability to tap into the feminine. We are highly advised to be aware of insatiable, jealous, unscrupulous, and self-indulgent reactions over these next few weeks. On 07 November, Venus dips back into Libra- where through the 18th- the energy shifts to being aware of overly refined, dependent, extreme sentimental, and wildly flirtatious affections.

Relationships, especially new ones, should be carefully monitored over this time. Beginning a new romance or initiating a marriage is especially not favored. However, this as a time when old love affairs and people you once knew return: so have fun remembering, or realize exactly why they aren’t an active part of your life anymore!

All kinds of creative endeavors involving initiations in beauty enhancements, (i.e. redecorating, home improvements, haircutting/coloring, cosmetic surgery), tend to not go over well. Have you any already underway or unfinished creative projects, this passage will grant the perfect time to revisit them. Some of the most amazing artistic endeavors can find their way to completion under this passage.

Dealings in the financial areas of life are especially wise to delay any major decisions on for the long term until after 18 November. Past debts may surface, and these should be addressed. Releasing at this time what is no longer of value to you or seemingly “worth it,” is also favored. So, if you’ve got a money situation that needs clearing up, this is a perfect place for focus.

Time well spent under Venus Retrograde:
*BE charitable with money.
*WATCH over-spending.
*AVOID buying luxury items.
*DO scoop up any bargains! THIS is totally Venus-approved!
*LOOK to what you already own and who you already know.
*REASSESS what is worthy of appreciation: keep it or toss it!
*FALL in love all over again- or let it GO!
*VISIT ART! Whether at a museum, gallery, performance, or through nature, Venus enhances our appreciation and value of it at this time.

The 13 deg Scorpio to 27 deg Libra piece in the natal birth chart points on a personal level to where a reflective approach is best applied over this time. This area of the life is where Venus asks us to pause- and to be alert to our operating from any kind of carelessness. The more REview that is done in this area- will ensure the optimal flow and compassionate blessings to flourish handsomely after 18 November once Venus goes Direct again. Should you have natal planets placed here or have aspects affecting these houses, you’ll feel this passage more intensely.

Keep in mind the approach and shadow of this Venus Retrograde. Be aware that decisions made as Venus began her approach -on 05 September while going Direct from 27 degrees Libra until REtrograde motion began on the 08 October- are equally involved in this time of reflection. Once Direct on 18 November, the shadow will prevail until 21 December when Venus returns to 13 degrees Scorpio, offering the opportunity to adjust any important decisions that may have had to be made while in Retrograde.

Once again, those RE’s of any REtrograde period, such as RElax, REflect, REdo, REassess -you get the picture- can be applied. With the uncanny messages that Lexigrams are here to provide for us, (the tale within a name or title by poetically phrasing its’ anagrams), we also learn that VENUS RETROGRADE is no exception to the rule. Just like any woman, she sure has a lot to advise to us:

VENUS RETROGRADE

*GO TO SURE ADVENTURES TO RESTORE
*GOT TO REDO A TREASURE
*GOT TO GO AND REUSE TO RESTORE
*GOT TO USE A STRONGER URGE TO REVERSE
*GO TO A RETARD TO REROUTE
*GREAT TRADER ENDEAVORS ARE VAGUE- SO DON’T DO ONE!
*TRADERS GO TO RENOVATE SAVED REVENUES
*TRADES ARE TENSE TO DO OVER A VENUS RETRO ERA
*REVENUES ARE TO UNDERGO A REVERSE AND RETURNS

LUNAR-O-SCOPE, NEW Moon in Libra, 2010

NEW Moon in Libra,
14 Degrees, 07 Oct, 2:45pm EDT

Our Lunar Lady is about to rebirth in her first of three empty nights in Autumn. Knowing our Sun is alive and well relating it all in The Scales, the Moon will now naturally have it’s clean slate to gather back in the light from Libra. The collective’s emotions enter The Scales Wednesday 06 October at 3:52pmEDT until Friday, 08 October at 3:52pmEDT. How about all those numbers composing that time frame for balance!?

We know with any New Moon our feelings have the capacity to become fresh, and take on some initiating energies to improve our emotions. When you have the Sun and the Moon right next to one another, the life force joins hands with that of the nurturer. This month, as the Sun reaches Libra at 14 degrees (urging our ability to assimilate logic to make change), the Moon equally asks that we take time to bring on some new emotional takes on relationships and harmony, as she cozies up right next to our Sun in Libra at 14 degrees. The area of life that 14 degrees Libra falls in your natal birth chart, is the one which you can see a birthing of new light to occur accompanied by some stirring change.

Anytime our Moon is not lighting up our nighttime sky, rest assured our Sun is in the mood to let new beginnings start to unfold until once more before the next passage of reflection. Ideally, these monthly conjunctions of our Sun and Moon are a wonderful gift from the Universe, for they ultimately help us naturally strive for putting forth energy back out into the world.

Be open to the request of our New Moon in Libra. This is a collective calling to look to matters concerning peace, justice, charm, and friendliness. Refined feelings and the capacity for comparison and co-operation are strong. Be aware however of any possible lazy, evasive, and co-dependent reactions.

A New Moon in Libra brings forth a sensitive instinct and imagination. Your Libra piece of your personal Zodiac Pie will point to where you will feel a spark of initiation this Thursday afternoon, as well as the area of life to focus upon receiving some fresh feelings within for the next two weeks til our next Full Moon upon 22 October.

Saturn is currently at 08 degrees Libra, not too far away from this New Moon’s kick-off point. While the Moon will continuously make a its’ short visits with Saturn each month to the Scales- The Karmic Adjustor is here in this sign through the Autumn of 2012. Each and every month, we will explore our emotional side and allow changes here to rapidly occur. Equally recognize how this long-term passage is slowly but surely bringing responsibility, wisdom, and learning through experience to the Libra area of life.

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 (natal) charts’ advice. It is, however, always recommended to have your natal chart cast by a professional astrologer to ensure you are in the know of how the true mathematical relationships of the Zodiac Wheel work individually for you.

LUNAR-O-SCOPE, NEW Moon in LIBRA, 2010

Scorpio: You’re quite comfortable in the subconscious realms that this Moons’ energy wants to take you to regal Eagle. You’ve been sensing it deeply since last fall, but now, it’s time to go even further within, as some matters of your inner world are ready to find some amazing resolutions.

LUNAR-O-SCOPE, 1st FULL Moon in ARIES 2010

FULL Moon in Aries,
0 degrees

23 Sept 5:17am EDT

Our Moon now takes on the opposing energies of our Sun! A FULL Moon in Aries brings forth independent and easily aroused feelings as our Lunar Light takes charge of what needs to be unraveled with The Ram, Thursday 23 September at 4:47am EDT until Saturday, 25 September at 4:17pm EDT.

Embrace this time of the month as our emotions are given their necessary time to reflect upon all that has transpired during the Waxing Phase. When our Full Moon peaks in the driving energies of Aries -the sign that consciously aims for leadership- the collective is ready to really take on a fearless approach to this process. Fire is Aries elemental influence, so something igniting is definitely meant to spark as quick realizations can be attained.

Aries energy must 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, it is the cultivation of moderation, patience, forethought, and humility that are wise to adhere to.

Be sure to check the Aries House, in particular the 0-degree Aries spot, in your personal birth chart to see where a releasing energy is ideally meant to unfold. This is the area of life that requests your intimate reflection in the next two weeks to follow. What can be cleaned up in this section of your Zodiac pie until the next Full Moon upon 22 October are bound to reap a rich harvest further down the road.

What is another astrological point of interest is that this Full Moon falls precisely upon the World Axis of 0 degrees Aries/Libra. Being in the know that there is a new paradigm the collective is currently amidst of awakening to, this Full Moon passage is an auspicious opening to further our innate understanding of what ultimately needs release to bring forth these necessary changes to our lives.

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 full mathematical analysis of the individual birth chart that truly indicates how the current planetary energies are uniquely affecting you.

Aries: It’s your month Mighty Rams to be in the Lunar spotlight to put it all in perspective on how the world views you. Get ready for some exciting and stirring feelings that wish to alter your normal pioneering approach. Just make sure your not too headstrong! We all know you tend to dive in without thinking at times, so take this time to truly pause and re-activate the self. Remember the subconscious realms that visited you a mere month ago, and take these into account as you now shed an outer layer of the mask you wear.

Taurus: It’s not the easiest place for the Bull to go, on that dive into those inner places in your life. Yet, there is an deep part of yourself that comes to realize what needs to be let go of. 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. There is an internal beauty you are meant to take root with to bring on liberation, and it will help you channel your natural virtue of patience all the more if you let it.

Gemini: Your friendships and organizations wish to capture your ever-active thoughts, Mini Gem. If there is a group or cause you’ve been thinking about what you true part is within, don’t remain split, the time is now to reassess what this means to you. You always love conversation, and you’ll be more than happy to join in whatever kind of fun is going on. Accept that possible unexpected invitation to socialize, for there is equal mental satisfaction that allows a deep reflection to unfold which you’ll gain from attending.

Cancer: Harvest, stability, and reward are shining brightly upon you in the career and public life, so this is no time to be crabby! Cast away your worries, and allow a freeing energy to clean up what no longer may be working in your business, or work place. Do expect a nice recognition to come your way if you’ve done your proper legwork to receive it. How you view your relationship to authority is also a fine place to contemplate, especially one you’ve not been ultimately responsible to up till now.

Leo: Inspiration is fueling the path you take your philosophies to, and those areas of life where you travel and keep on expanding. There is much reflection surrounding a recent trip you may have taken or one in the future taking you far outside of the forest Lion. This basking in the lunar light ideally lets you find ways to broaden your view of the world at large. Take this opportunity to keep igniting your urges to expand, but be sure you are taking the lead as you aim to figure out which educational pursuits truly do whole-heartedly serve you.

Virgo: Your long-term securities and investments now require some reorganizing. Take these two weeks to come to decisions about any changes, but make sure your choices are made with all those details at hand after the New Moon upon the 07 October. With the current economic state, your logic will certainly come in handy here to remain conservative. There is a surge of transformation that finds completion, and there’s no doubt you’ going to feel renewed in ways like never before. Whatever has been recently calling to your sexual nature, take time to reflect upon the excitement here and then await to see what discoveries will soon find you.

Libra: While your partnerships always find ways to be on your mind- make the decision to bask in the reflective light here, including your romantic ties to business contacts. You’ll find the people you contemplate those pro’s and cons over during this waning period are meant to stay or leave. There is definitely a friendly spark you ignite as you now reassess the way you arrive at balance in doing what you love to do best: relating to others.

Scorpio: Tap into those regenerative powers, because you know you’ve been feeling they are now ready to bring improvement to your health and all the ways you find that deep satisfaction when being of service. There’s an old routine you should strive to let go of now that no longer serves you. While perfection is a journey- take a look at where you can release your hold on it being a destination. Your pets may require extra attention from you now.

Sagittarius: You love fire in all of its’ forms, and now you’ll find you have all sorts of illumination at your fingertips when it comes your creativity. There is an intense leading energy that wants to review whatever your current project involves. You enjoy feeling playful, and will find solace especially involving any contacts with children. “Brain children” or your offspring equally want to captivate your attention now, as you revise your aims here. Your arrows find they are targeting a completion as you take a creative adventure to a more solid place.

Capricorn: Stop working and get to cleaning your house Dear Goat! Your home environment desires your toil and perfectionism. Whatever you no longer desire to be in your environment, let it all go and donate it to charity! Now is the time to get those lingering around the house tasks done, with equal focus upon your family life. It’s not like you to get too psychic, yet you are meant to take note of any déjà vu experiences, whose channels are open and ready for you to receive their important messages now.

Aquarius: What no longer needs to be swirling around in your thought process Water Bearer? This is a fabulous time to reinvent original ways you can improve upon your mental capacity. Take time to plan a short trip now if you aren’t already on one, or reflect upon a recent one. The direction your prophetic mind takes is meant to show a reconnection to a vision probably only you will understand. Your thinking has been looking forward to this mental clean-up, so you can get back to bringing all those new things to life.

Pisces: As much as you love this time of the month to reflect upon the past Dear Fishes, there is a different course you’re in the mood for now to realign your sense of values while taking stock of your personal possessions. How you earn your dollars is another area you’ll let some relinquishing energies entertain you- be sure to write down what shows up here, and chart a new curse for these after 07 October. Your entire sense of security will be explored and reexamined now. Toss away something material that you innately know you no longer need.

LUNAR-O-SCOPE, NEW Moon in VIRGO, 2010

NEW Moon
in Virgo,
15 degrees
08 September, 6:30am EDT

No matter where you live in the world, you won’t be seeing our Lunar Lady over the next few days as she now will perfectly align with our current Sun in Virgo. Our Moon enters Virgo, Tuesday 07 September, at 5:53am EDT until Thursday, 09 September, at 5:01am EDT.

This is our auspicious time of the month to embrace as our emotions welcome all anew. When our New Moon embarks in the detailed-oriented energies of Virgo -the sign that consciously aims for perfection- the collective is ready to get it all in fine working order.

Mutable Earth is The Virgin’s elemental influence, so something grounding recent changes is definitely meant to logically begin. Thus, while our current Sun is in Virgo at 15 degrees, the Moon becomes anew once more when it conjuncts the Sun as it reaches the same astrological point of 15 degrees Virgo.

But… Be sure hold off on those initiations for just a little bit if you are doing anything that you truly wish to see a successful long-term outcome within. REmember that Trickster Mercury is still not looking where he is going until 7:09pm EDT, 12 September. While you will see a trigger at the 15 degree Virgo spot within the natal birth chart, this will have plenty of time to unfold after the 12th under this Waxing Moon period until the next Full Moon 23 September.

The request of all of this current energy in Virgo is a collective calling to look to matters concerning health, purity, routine, service, and efficiency in our habits. Everything is quite intense at present within the senses of our life force, communications, and movement. Now as the Moon aligns, our emotional perspectives join in all the fun.

Your Virgo piece of your personal Zodiac Pie will point to the area of life where you will ultimately feel this concentration upon Wednesday, and the days the Mono is passing through Virgo. Allow an understanding of purity to be explored here, and whilst it is not wise to get hung up in The Virgin’s tendency to fuss over everything, definitely make sure you don’t overlook any details with the remaining time Mercury will toss out a few more tricks until the 12th.

This is also the first time we have experienced a New Moon in Virgo without the presence of Saturn since 2006. For the past 3 years, the Virgo piece of your Zodiac Pie has had an extra layer of responsibility and fatherly observance over it. Wherever Virgo’s energy plays out -even amongst the Mercury Retrograde- you will feel a total difference in what this New Moon will unfold in this area of the life.

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. Keep in mind, it is the accuracy of the mathematical analysis of any natal chart that will determine how the Zodiac Wheel personally spins for you.

LUNAR-O-SCOPE, NEW Moon in Virgo, 2010

Aries: That hasn’t been your imagination running wild hinting at you to improve your routine, personal habits, and health Dear Rams over the past couple years. If you’ve been headstrong and choose not to focus on this important task at hand, you’ve got a last chance to take charge. Be on the look out for a new way to be of service to others, so take this time to strike up a match here, and get ready to keep the flame going on a new routine.

Taurus: The Bull is taking center stage! Whatever new artistic or creative adventure you’ve been patiently waiting to dive into will begin to take its’ root. Children and your relationship to them takes a different turn now. You’ve been feeling open to explore some love affairs, and this time offers you the opportunity to ponder some uncharted territories.

Gemini: There are a many new beginnings you are about to embark upon within your home and family. Don’t logically think that sense of déjà vu happening is the other side of yourself talking, or that Mercury really is playing a trick on you! Be sure to listen to the instinctive message being channeled to you right now.

Cancer: There’s a whole new thought process Dear Crabs that is ready to enter your vivid minds. You’ve been extra prone to worry over the past couple years, but now you totally know there are far better ways you can spending your time thinking responsibly. If you still need to explore an education pursuit that sharpens your instinct and grants you more logic to curb those emotional reactions- learn it now!

Leo: The earning power has fluxed as of late, hasn’t it your Royal Highness? These last two years truly revamped your entire value system, and now is the time to claim some fresh securities. A new way for you to earn your dollars is about to unfold. Take a hearty look at your possessions, summon up that pride, and allow these new values have the proper room to grow.

Virgo: It’s always fun to be the one to be truly taking it all on a new! These last couple of years might have put the shy back in your Virginal energy, as your approaches and habits learned their lessons if they didn’t truly serve you. You’re humble enough to take this necessary time for yourself without raising the ego bar too high, so go on, let the world begin to see this new side of you that is oh so ready to take off that hiding behind the scenes mask!

Libra: Nothing is feeling completely balanced like you like it right now is it? You’ve been in full responsibility of relating to the inner layers of your psyche in the past couple of years. A few last matters of the subconscious wish to be resolved. You’ve got a whole new energy that your inner world is ready to welcome, and do pay close attention to your dreams during this waxing moon. These are sure to be friendly ones that are pointing to where you ideally need to focus within your waking world.

Scorpio: You’ve brought some nice responsibility to the routines within your friendships and organizations, especially in the past couple years. The roles you’ve been playing in your groups right now allow your wishes the room to blossom. Should you receive a spontaneous social invitation, don’t turn it down- there is a fantastic new opportunity awaiting you here.

Sagittarius: Career matters are on the surface right now, and decisions need to be made on where it is all going. There’s been a lot of transition in this area of the life in the past couple years, but now, the direction you should take clearly unfolds. Your purpose, mission, and reputation have all processes through significant changes, which you, above all signs, have been eager for. Remember if it doesn’t make logical sense anymore, it’s not meant to be a part of your new routine in the workplace.

Capricorn: So much has stirred your philosophical outlooks in the past 2 years, some of which even the long-term thinker like you couldn’t foresee coming. There’s an important a trip that’s either finishing now, or you better get to making plans for one! Don’t deny this urge to travel, nor forget to take the time away from your work so you can embark on a new pursuit that furthers your higher education.

Aquarius: If you have some lingering financial revisions, it’s a good time to bring some new life to them- just be sure these are made legally after 12 September! Investments, taxes, shared/joint resources, any of these are well deserving of your attention right now. Not enough intimacy in a personal relationship? Take some time in this area to discover a new way to do something Water Bearer, in that way you like to do it best- your own. There is a fresh regenerative energy at your fingertips that can’t wait for you to transform into it.

Pisces: You’ve learned a lot of lessons in the past couple years about those closest to you, personal or business related. All changes that have been unfolded have truly been for the best. Now, you can clearly see that there is the necessary room for new ones to now formulate and prosper. Under the current Mercury transit, they might get off to a more shaky start, but after the 12th, you’ll intuitively know who you’d like swimming next to you to take on the sea of vast possibilities to come.

LUNAR-O-SCOPE, FULL Moon in PISCES 2010

FULL Moon in Pisces, 01 degrees
24 August, 1:05pm EDT

“The moon develops the imagination, as chemicals develop photographic images.” –Sheila Ballantyne

It’s that time again for the Moon to bring on that emotional harmonizing with our Sun! A FULL Moon in Pisces brings forth deep, imaginative, and ever-active feelings as our Lunar Lady takes a swim with The Fishes, Tuesday at 10:11am EDT until Thursday, 26 August at 10:49pm EDT. Our present Yang Sun now wishes to bring balance into play with the logical choice of health and serving others is strong, is now complimented by the Yin Moon’s energy in Pisces, where the enthusiasm for sympathy and understanding is the pull back for reflection.

Our Moon, as beautiful as she is when completely full and luminous, also is at a very vulnerable place as all light is shining upon her. The night time loves its’ darkness for a reason. When illuminated, energies and emotions have all the more open channel to let guards down, and possible insecurities revealed. Yet, it is under this intensity that beneficial inner work and healing can be done.

When our Full 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 in pure abundance.

For the collective there is the possibility of restless feelings that may create some waves, so make sure you stay swimming in safe waters. When susceptible energies are around, it is 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.

Be sure to check the Piscean House, in particular the 01-degree Pisces spot, in your personal birth chart to see where a conclusive energy is ideally meant to unfold. This is the area of life that requests a release in the next two weeks to follow. What you ultimately shed in this section of your Zodiac pie until the next New Moon upon 08 September are bound to make room for what is next to come.

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. Keep in mind, it is the professional mathematical analysis of the individual birth chart that truly will inform you on how the current planetary energies are uniquely affecting you.

LUNAR-O-SCOPE, FULL Moon in PISCES, 2010

Aries: You’re no stranger to exploration Dear Ram, and now, it’s time to dive into those inner places in your life. There is a new self-discovery you are about to unfold. The spiritual, subconscious realms, and the psychological make-ups of life call to you to really get into your own head. You love taking the lead, so now it’s time to strike-up new ideas about how you spend time alone with one of your favorite people: You.

Taurus: It’s time to take stock of those friendships! If there is an organization or cause you’ve been thinking about joining, don’t be patient any longer. You’ll find you are especially willing to talk to just about anyone right now. Accept that invitation to socialize over this passage, for there is equal mental satisfaction you’ll gain from attending.

Gemini: There is a buzz of energy surrounding you now in the career and public life, so be on the look out for those changes you love adapting to so much. This is a fantastic time to reassess business, and do a little review about your public life. Your relationship to authority may also find some re-workings that should allow you to arrive at an understanding you’ve not been responsible to before.

Cancer: You’re feeling quite imaginative about the directions you wish to take your philosophies now. Remember an old trip, think about taking one, or find ways to broaden your view of the world at large. There is a great deal of sensitivity and intuition surrounding your urges to expand, so be sure to tune-in to your instinct and find some educational pursuits that refresh your spiritual desires.

Leo: If you’ve been thinking about your securities and investments, now is the time to review decisions about any future changes, but make sure these choices are made wisely. This also marks a time when you feel a surge of transformation that has been waiting to find its completion. You’re definitely feeling sexy Lion, and are ready to put your full rule upon the forest.

Virgo: Toss off that logic Virgin, and forget Mercury’s tricks as now is not the time to be shy so you can get cozy with your intimate partnerships. Just temper that possible sharp tongue of yours at this time. From your romantic ties to business contacts, there is all sorts of good fortune coming to final answers you’ve been waiting for. People you reflect upon over this waning period will stay or be released. Don’t get too fussy or worry about the details, for now is the time to hone in on what your deepest intuition speaks to you about the closest contacts in your life. REmember: Love isn’t logical.

Libra: Your Scales, oh balanced one, are so ready to embrace this opportunity with both arms to bring improvement to your health and all the ways you find peace when being of service. There’s a rerouting of your routine you should strive to find the right path to now. Should there be any urges to expand your relationships with a pet, you may find yourself looking for that perfect match, or if you need to let go of one, you’ll find it a good home at this time.

Scorpio: You love what power brings you, and now you’ll find your creative nature is lit up like a light bulb. There is much excitement and confidence behind whatever your current project involves, and this sets off an urge to finish the task. Trust and playfulness are abound, especially any contacts you may have with children. Whether it be your offspring or a “brain child,” these will captivate your attention now.

Sagittarius: One of your multi-tasks has you cleaning the house Archer, as you feel the need to do something different in your home environment. You are so ready for summer to wind down, as you are already anxious for Autumn’s changes. There equally is an energy abound requesting your arrows set aims to focus upon your family life, and rest here just a bit. Be on the look out for those déjà vu and psychic experiences, which have a very open channel for you to receive their important messages presently.

Capricorn: Is it possible to make you any wiser old Goat? Well, you know better than most we never stop learning, and you are ready to bring on another conclusion to your mental capacity. Take time to plan short trip now if you aren’t already on one, or revisit one in your mind. There is a spiritual journey you may venture off on, and you are always one to make sure it remains in the practical realms. This release in your thinking has been working hard to fly away from you, so be sure to allow this one to spread its’ wings.

Aquarius: There are some values you originated some time ago that get you in the mood now to take stock of your personal possessions. There are things around you need to part with. You also may find the way you earn your dollars will shift. There is a deeper understanding that you arrive at which deals with what truly matters to you most.

Pisces: It’s your month Dear Fishes to really let it all go! What you sense about your self-sufficiency takes focus, and that which you may be pioneering comes to a completion and is seen in it’s fullest light. We all know your sympathetic concern runs deep for others, but take this time to be intuitive with yourself. The world has already been seeing you differently than it has been, but before you can get back to helping those in need, recognize your gentle care means more to you now than ever before.

Mercury REtrograde in Virgo, 20 Aug to 12 Sept

19 degrees to 05 degrees Virgo
3:59PM EDT 20 August
to 7:09PM EDT 12 September

Approach: Began 01 Aug- The last day Mercury was @ 05 deg Virgo
Shadow: Ends 27 Sept- The next time Mercury reaches 19 deg Virgo going Direct

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

Our Messenger planet Mercury joins our outer planets of Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto, who are already doing their own backwards thing. Outer planet retrogrades cast a different affect upon the collective with their lengthy passages that span over months of time.

This is not the case for the Trickster Mercury, who only cruises in reverse for a mere three weeks, as this inner planet plays out a dissimilar energy that the collective undeniably senses. All too often one wonders within all the zany craziness: What in the world IS going on lately?

Yet, as we also know, Mercury Retrograde periods are never to fear. Surely though you will see those unawares typically getting aggravated and frustrated by Mercury’s typical bag of tricks he draws from over this period.

As Mercury readjusts those communications and movement this time in his own mutability of Virgo, the tendency for those unexpected changes will intensified, and that needed response vs. reaction will be more important than ever to adhere to.

Ultimately, these 3 weeks are best spent adhering to any word with that begins with RE: such as: redo, reassess, read, revisit, rejoice, realign, rest, review, and by all means RElax! YES, your eyes do not deceive you! Even though summer seems to be already coming to a close- there is definitely an extended vacation time allowed this year.

We’ll be letting you know more about how the upcoming Full Moon in Pisces will be in opposition to Mercury’s tricks and what other affects will be cast upon the planetary mix-up. You may find getting back to the regular old routine in September will be a slight more challenging this year.

But be sure to take a look at your 05 deg to 19 deg Virgo ruled-house in the natal birth chart. This is the area of life where personally you’ll see those communication mishaps, changes, and delays the most, as well as seeing a restructure of some sort unfolding within the next 3 weeks.

From the collective horoscope approach, we have a quick and easy guide that pinpoints where Mercury’s energy’s will outwardly affect you, and where you are best to place your reflective cap on within. No doubt, you’ve probably already been thinking about these things…

Aries: Health/Being of Service/Employees
Taurus: Creativity/Children/Love Affairs
Gemini: Home/Family/Emotions
Cancer: Thinking/Mentality/Communications
Leo: Values/Earning Power/Possessions
Virgo: Approaches/Mask to the World/Motivations
Libra: Inner Psyche/Clearing of the Past/Subconscious Process
Scorpio: Innovations/Friendships/Organizations
Sagittarius: Career/Public Life/Opportunities
Capricorn: Philosophies/Foreign Travel/Education
Aquarius: Transformations/Sexuality/Wealth
Pisces: Partnerships/Marriage/Balance with Others

Furthering upon the collective picture, the typical Mercury retrograde do’s and don’ts will equally apply for any sign. While backtracking through Virgo, all can anticipate a possible lack of breadth and confidence over these weeks, where things appear hypercritical and feelings that nothing seems to logically fit stir-up.

Try not to question everything at this time. And if you do, REflect in the actions/thoughts leading up to your doubt. You just might find you got caught up in a one too many details in your previous analysis. Remember the Sun will also also shining in the Virgin’s light, so there is a positive energy to gravitate and choose at any time.

It will be essential for us all to truly proceed with caution and extra pause under this all-Mercury Retrograde transit. There’s no better opportunity to hone in on than the number one Virgo virtue of being of service. REmember your manners and some gentle politeness when things go wrong… See if you’ll find a better result. Otherwise, be ready for all the more nit-picking and fussy energy to attract itself to you.

As always…
TO DO or NOT TO DO under Mercury REtrograde…

REmain in the eye of any storm around you… Try these handy tips over this upcoming period and see the kind of success you will reap!

DO:
Expect CHANGE: in travel, routines, & schedules to occur suddenly
Give yourself extra time to get where you’re going
Spend time in the RE’s: Relax, Revisit, Reflect, Redo, REcharge!
Gravitate to REsponding vs. REacting!

DON’T:

“Freak out” when changes come up
Rush: speaking, driving, doing anything!
Sign important documents
Initiate anything new

Keep in mind, those events and situations that occurred after 01 August- fall under the approach of this REtrograde. We tend to start to see the things that will undergo reassessment emerge over these couple weeks. Equally before the shadow completes upon 27 September, you will see further opportunities for final adjustments that need to be made from all action occurring within the retrograde period.

As our Sun enters Virgo 23 August, this is equally a time we will ideally apply accurate discrimination when we decide to LISTEN. Yet, that completely means we need to be SILENT. Once again, we REmind you of the power of Lexigrams, as their messages urge to reach us with their wisdom through the very name of Mercury Retrograde.
