Relating With the Warrior

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

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

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

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

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

For the collective horoscope, again we offer advice for every sign from the outer vantage point. Remember, if you know your Rising Sign (Ascendant), read that passage too, for it typically will apply to your personal charts’ advice, more so if the earlier degrees of it. Keep in mind, the exact casting of the natal birth chart determines a precise perspective of how the current transits of the planets personally and specifically affect you.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

A Quick Word on The Idealist…

Venus enters Gemini 


03 April 

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

Wielding the Warrior


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

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

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

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

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

Lunar-O-Scope, New Moon in Aries, 22 March 2012
For the collective horoscope, again we offer some simple advice for every sign from the outer vantage point. Remember, if you know your Rising Sign (Ascendant), read that passage too, for it typically will apply to your personal charts’ advice.  Always remember, it is the full mathematical analysis of the individual birth chart that truly indicates how the current planetary energies are uniquely affecting you. 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

A Grand Trine in Nine

A Grand Gift in Earth

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

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

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

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

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

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

The Grand Trine in Nine has spoken.  Namaste.

On a personal note….

This alignment means everything to you from the collective perspective, as well as from your natal birth chart. A quick handy guide is below that points to the collective’s vantage point of how these 4 planets from above are able to work with you down here below. Depending upon the exact mathematical cast of the natal birth chart chart, you can also gain further insight on a more personal level by seeing how 09 degree points of the Earth Signs align for you.

Remaining Positive: Mercury Retrograde, 12 Mar to 04 Apr

Posted on by

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Aries:

12th Inner Psyche/Clearing of the Past

Taurus:

So let’s Dear Stars, have some FUN for a change with our Trickster, and listen to what he wishes to help us with down here below, ourselves. And whatever CHALLENGES may come your way to test your soul, know too, ALL CHANGES LEAN AN ANGEL ANGLE HEAL AS A SAGE CLEANSE.  Off we go to become friends with change.  Namaste.

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.
Moon enters Virgo,
Tuesday 06 March at 10:27pm EST until Thursday, 08 March at 11:50pm EST
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.

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.

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.

Word Ponder: LEAPING

WORD PONDER

LEAPING

It’s that time again as the calendar date of the 29th February falls into our Universal Year, when here we are, all contemplating about taking leaps in our lives. While most may think this is a fabulous time to “jump” into something new, our star secrets highly recommend that age-old expression, “Look before you leap.”

In response to being interviewed by the Berkshire Eagle, about what it all means to initiate something new in the life upon the every 4 year possibility of the 29th February, we find that the energy of this date always brings with it not so much of a leaping tendency. “It’s a good day for everyone to sit and be a little quiet and have a good listen, because you may get some very interesting messages.”

Why is would this be so? Looking to the 29th, we find Grace Under Pressure to be the karmic path of this date, governed by the Moon through the singular 2. With the receptive and sensitive emotional side of things at play, this calendar date within any given month gravitates to taking a reflective state and trying out a little bit of nurturing before taking any action, especially whenever a pressurized situation may surface within the life. Hence the ancient Chaldeans understanding of responding with grace, and keep the feelings in check here.

Whenever we have an extra day in February every 4 years, we will always see this to fall under a Pisces Sun. Here again, is a water-guided energy like the 2, but now we have dreamy Neptune in the mix. While a communicative Fish is always known to be on the move, this date of initiation always will ask of the native to mirror how our Rumi wisely knew what it is ultimately necessary to have a good listen, “Be silent, like the fish.”

Certainly, within the Moon and Neptune combination of this rare date, you will always find it swirling in the contemplation of mystery, spirituality, psychic ties, and intuition. A great imagination equally is the outcome of anything born to a 29 February beginning. Entities capturing this planetary channel from above down here below will be quite the chicken soup for anyone’s soul, innately “know” things, and have some sort of sympathetic and healing way they are here to assist humanity through their pains.

This date typically falls under a 9 or 10 degree Pisces Sun. So, on those off years when celebrating the Solar Return (birthday/anniversary) it is always recommended to consult with your astrologer on whether the 28 February or 01 March would be the better date to ring in another “New Year.” Some people will claim, oh, you are only “so old,” because you don’t have the “real” birthday aligning numerically from year to year, but because of Astrology, you do experience a Solar Return whether we are in a current Leap Year or not.

Looking to the Current Personal Year Cycle as any soul or entity evolves with a 29 February star map, one would calculate this in the very same fashion, year to year. 29 February 2012 marks the entrance into the 9 Current Personal Year, where in, an entire 9-year cycle is coming to a close. All the conclusions, finalizations, and space that will be made in the months ahead until 2013, will make the necessary room for new beginnings to flourish in the life in one years time. 2011 was a year of the 8’s harvest, in where much reward, recognition, and reaping was the result of the seeds planted 7 years prior.

Back to taking those leaps. While all our 29 February babies will certainly experiencing a fine “to the 9’s” year ahead, it is really 2013, that certainly will engage them in some true leaping like they have not seen in quite some time. As far as how the collective can reap reward upon this calendar date, let’s look to the Name Expression of Leaping which has some added advise about taking caution where this action is concerned.

When we speak of Leaping we are calling upon the 26, the Chaldeans understanding of Partnerships which states, “This compound number vibrates, in a strange way, to a unique kind of power, based on compassion and unselfishness, with the ability to help others, but not always the Self. 26 is full of contradictions. It warns of dangers, disappointments, and failure, especially regarding the ambitions, brought about through bad advice, association with others, and unhappy partnerships of all kinds. The person is counseled to avoid partnerships and pursue the career alone, not heeding even the well-intentioned advice of others, but follow only the personal hunches and intuition- although these should be carefully examined for flaws before acting on them.”

Thus, heeding to “Look before you leap,” isn’t too bad an option to choose here. As the 26 reduces to 8, guess who is in charge whenever “leaping” is going on? Our favorite planet of fatherly wisdom, Karmic Saturn. While life can talk endlessly about taking risks and “betting” on them to work out in our favors, when it comes to “leaping” into faith, from Numerology’s perspective, you better cross your T’s and dot your I’s first. Saturn will always advise, go slow to receive your solid and genuine gains in life, for these are all the more worth it when stability and responsibility is adhered to.

As we take a last look at Lexigrams, one may not think there is too much to say from a short word like leaping. But never underestimate a short word. The anagrams we can derive here can still be poetically phrased into some sound advice that we all can benefit from. You’ll find you may have to open your mind just slight to recognize, when engaging in leaping for long-term success, it is best to be prepared.

LEAPING

IN A LIE, I LEAP IN PAIN
I LEAP IN PAIN, I IN A LEGAL AIL GAIN
IN A LIE I LEAP, I PLEA IN A PAIN IN A GAP
I ALIGN IN A PLAN, I GAIN IN AN AGE
I LEAN IN AN ANGEL ANGLE IN A LEAP, I GAIN
IN AN AGILE LEAN, I LEAP IN A GAIN
I NAIL A LEAP IN AN AGILE ANGEL GAIN I GEL IN

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.
