NEW Moon in Pisces

Practicing Peace

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

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

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

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

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

For the Collective

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

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

Lunar-O-Scope, New Moon in Pisces, 2012

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Word Ponder: COASTING

What’s Really in a Word:

COASTING

Life presents each and every human being with the divine opportunity to engage in the action of coasting. As we journey through a world that is constantly demanding more from us, we are all wise to take up with this rewarding activity to be able to keep up with the magnificent pace. Comparing this practice with whatever car you may drive as a standard or an automatic, learning to coast can be a very conservative and simple choice for innate gifts to find us within.What does a word like coasting have to share with us? With a Name Expression of the Chaldean’s understanding of the 27, The Sceptre, it is packed full of interesting insight that we can absorb as we all take the foot off the gas in our lives.

The Chaldeans’s saw The Sceptre’s 27 to mean: “This is an excellent, harmonious and fortunate number of courage and power, with a touch of enchantment. It blesses the person or entity it represents with a promise of authority and command. It guarantees that great rewards will come from the productive labors, the intellect, and the imagination. All of these creative faculties have sown good seeds which are to reap a rich harvest. People or entities represented by the 27 should always carry out their own original plans and ideas, and not be intimidated or influenced by the diverse opinions or opposition of others.”

How apropos when your life deserves a passage of coasting that these are the gifts that can emerge as blessings. As you decide to put things in neutral -just like driving any car, when your foot is not on the gas- you can better listen to your inner productive labors, intellect, and by all means the magic gains from imagination. The creative nature equally is favored to emerge any time we choose to be engaged in coasting, rather than be in any gear. Here, in the gentleness of being, original ideas are birthed. There is absolutely no reason to be intimidated, influenced or opposed by anyone, because you are in control to still steer your wheel as you align in your own personal courage. What enchanting power indeed. Like the engine of your car, tune in to how you idle, and hear the humming.

Taking a deeper look at the two ciphers composing the 27, there are such pleasures that come from the understanding of how these interact. With both being water guided and receptive channels of energy -as we embrace the Moon’s reflection through 2 and Neptune’s psychic ties through the 7- the intuition and knowing from time in solitude is amazing to behold. Like coasting -which opens the door to listening to an inner voice- the innate gifts of the 2 and 7 point the soul to imagination, nurturing, sensitivity, mystery, spirituality and sympathy.

Taking necessary coasting time to sharpen ourselves, then allows the outward energies of the 2 + 7 = 9 to emerge through Mars’s request for courage and independence as we pioneer within. However it is sharp to be aware if any conflict or aggression tries to invade us –we are not meant to reflect it, just simply as we coast, steer ourselves away from it. When the inner voice is fully awake, it is amazing what distractions and negativity we can avoid. As we all currently circulate through a Mars Retrograde that began 23 January and concludes 13 April, trying on a bit of “throwing it in neutral” within the Virgo area of our lives is truly a fantastic practice. Equally, the first Mercury Retrograde that will transit from 12 March to 04 April will require the same exact energy to embrace adaptability for ultimate success.


Lexigrams lend the final piece of being in the know that coasting is sure a wise choice to make friends with in our lives as it deems appropriate. As we look to the anagrams that can be derived from it, and spiral them into poetic phrases; we are granted more clues to let this word serve us and recognize how valid it can be to optimizing our life.

COASTING

AS I COAST, I GO ON IN NO GAS TO GAIN
I CAN GAIN IN NO GAS, AS I SIT IN A “NO GO ACTION”
I CAN ACT IN AN AGNOSTIC GO, AS I GO ON
AS I SIT AS A SAINT, I GO IN GNOSTIC GAINS
I TANGO IN NO ANTICS, NO STINGS, NO CONS AS I SIT IN STOIC GAINS
AS I SIT IN NO ACTION, I CAST AN AGO COAT TO COIN IN
AS I SIT, I GO IN GIANT GIANT GAINS IN NO ACTION
AS I SIT IN SONIC GAINS, I GO ON IN GIANT ACTIONS IN TONS
AS I SING A SONG TO AGO, A SIGN GO INTO ACTION
IT SO A GIANT GAIN TO COAST AS A SAINT IN NO ACTION

A Quick Word on The Messenger….

Mercury enters Pisces

13 February

8:38pm EST

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

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

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

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

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

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

Namaste My Dear Stars.

A Quick Word on The Idealist….

Venus enters Aries

08 February
1:05am EST

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

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

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

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

Saturn Retrograde in Libra, 2012

Settling Up With Saturn

07 February to 25 June 2012

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Aries: 7th House of Partnerships/Marriage

Taurus: 6th House of Health/Being of Service/Pets

Gemini: 5th House of Creativity/Children

Cancer: 4th House of Home/Family/Environment

Leo: 3rd House of Thinking/Mentality/Communications

Virgo: 2nd House of Values/Earning Power

Libra: 1st House of First Impressions/Approaches/Mask to the World

Scorpio: 12th House of Inner Work/Subconscious Process

Sagittarius: 11th House of Friendships/Groups/Hopes/Wishes

Capricorn: 10th House of Career/Public Life

Aquarius: 9th House of Higher Learning/Beliefs/Foreign Travel

Pisces: 8th House of Wealth/Sexuality/Core Transformations

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

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

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

07 February

4:54pm EST

Full Moon in Leo


Creative Intelligence

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

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

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

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

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

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

Lunar-O-Scope, Full Moon in Leo, 2012
For the collective horoscope, again we offer advice for every sign from the outer vantage point. Remember, if you know your Rising Sign (Ascendant), read that passage too, for it typically will apply to your personal charts’ advice, more so if the earlier degrees of it. Keep in mind, the exact casting of the natal birth chart determines a precise perspective of how the current transits of the planets personally and specifically affect you.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

A Quick Word on The Mystic at Home in Pisces

SharitaStarPsychicofthePlanNeptune enters Pisces

03 February 2012
2:03pm EST

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Namaste Dear Stars.

A Quick Word on The Messenger….

Mercury enters Aquarius

27 January
1:12pm EST

We continue to move forward in our present Waxing Phase as Mercury now catches up with our Sun, bringing some communications to where the gathering light recently initiated some new life through The Water Bearer within our Zodiac Pie.

Now through 13 February, mentalities are cleverly stimulated with original, comprehensive, scientific and synthetic ideas. As methods of expression become accurate, agreeable, and at times witty- penetrating and well-drill perceptions are easily able to fill thoughts of what can ultimately be improved upon.

Be sure to be leery of cold, superficial, and detached energies that may display themselves within this area of the life. True to Aquarius form, some unpredictable thoughts may wish to show up, and it is best to embrace them with a friendly attitude as they are processed.

As Mercury squares Jupiter in Taurus upon 28 January, see how these two areas in your life relate, and recognize a structure seeks to be formulated, rather than taking up with the sense of feeling blocked. When we approach the energy of squares with the understanding that we are building out from a corner rather than being pushed into it, there are solutions these two organizational energies are able to emerge. Our Messenger is happy to receive The Optimist’s innate wisdom and fortune to ground what you can truly invent as a new foundation wishes to speak to you as The Water Bearer and The Bull plant things into your life in their own unique and patient ways.

Just before Mercury will take up it’s mysterious swim with The Fishes upon 13 February, it will make an easy flow of conversation with Papa Saturn, who will have just begun it’s Retrograde passage. Listen carefully to what your 29 degree Libra piece of the Zodiac Pie has to say to the 29 degree of Aquarius, for some sound, methodical, cautious, and sobering messages are able to come through loud and clear. The intellect deepens whenever Mercury and Saturn are in good graces with one another, so be sure to check in with what reflection can come through.

The YEAR OF THE WATER DRAGON, 2012-13

THE YEAR OF
THE WATER DRAGON

23 January 2012
to
10 February 2013

We collectively celebrate the Chinese New Year on 23 January 2012: The Year of the Dragon/Water Year. The Chinese Zodiac can lend anyone insight into their personality and natural tendencies, like our Western Zodiac can provide. Our friends in the West take their Zodiac and divide it into 12 signs as does Western Astrology, yet one animal sign influences an entire year verses one month.The intricate link in understanding the common ground of these two systems is the transits of Jupiter, which take approximately one year to transit through one Zodiac sign in the West. Here in the West it only takes that same years’ time to represent all 12 signs on our Zodiac wheel, while our friends in the East take 60 years to complete a full cycle, as each animal every 12 years is depicted through 5 different elemental years of earth, metal, water, wood, and fire.

Thinking big and promoting optimism will be rewarded in 2012, as the collective can expect this to be a time of dramatic flare, spectacular events, and an auspicious year to begin anything anew within. The energy of being bold and daring is favored to stimulate fortunate outcomes in new adventures of any kind, from business to marriage. The most outlandish, eccentric, original and different ideas will be rewarded as the months within 2012 unfold.

Now the collective experiences the 5th year within a 9 and 12-year cycle, where the seeds planted in 2008 are seeing some true blossoming and complete currents of change to eventually reap a harvest, just a couple more years further down the road. With Mercury guiding the singular 5’s energy over 2012, there is plenty of movement, risk-taking, versatility and communication to be found amongst the Dragons’ urges for the magnificent. 2012 marks the time where never seen before ideas will bring the masses together in a more unified understanding of who we are as part of the wholeness of humanity.

Grasping some true Lexigram wisdom when embracing the MAGNIFICENT plays a important role in what 2012 can hold for anyone, as we poetically phrase the anagrams we can derive from it. What joy can be found when I AM IN A FINE MAGIC GAIN IN A MAIN TIME TEAM. Or realizing I AM A ENIGMA MAGNET, INFECTING AN INFINITE ENTICING AGE. If we are to adapt smoothly to what exciting and irresistible energy the Dragon is here to share with us -especially within the added intuition of the Water Year- we are best to hone in upon our own sense of psychic ability when it comes to quick change within our lives to find our necessary answers.

All is set to come alive in our outside world and community life in a Water Dragon Year as we allow our diplomacy, compassion and idealism to tackle social situations requiring resolve. The Dragon asks that we awaken a visionary, intelligent and scrupulous instinct within ourselves. Once more under the Water influenced year, being the eye of any apparent storm is key to knowing how to handle a Dragon’s natural excessive energies. With the Dragon representing Yang Wood energy, what transpires over the year ahead brings forth profound success or failure, depending upon the genuine intention behind initiations.

The Dragon is the only Chinese animal that is from myth upon their Zodiac Wheel. However, they firmly believe that this symbol is the most powerful of all, and when one is born in a Dragon year, there is much fortune, money and luck to be found all along the life. Even in the midst of mistakes along the way, Dragons are well known to always still come out of the most pressing situations still smiling. So chin up to any 2012 gloom and doomers: while it is best to be prepared for adventurous change, wearing a SMILE will most certainly go for MILES in this Dragon Year ahead.

DID YOU KNOW??? DRAGON TRIVIA

*They are a Dragon!
When you see an enthusiastic, successful, persuasive and strong spirit that eagerly shows that life is to be savored by living every day as if it where your very last.

*The Typical Dragon
IS frank, at times demanding, enjoys starting things they may not always finish, makes their home wherever they are, excels at problem solving, exudes self-confidence, prefers to take it as it comes verses a routine, possesses an innate sincerity, dislikes waiting for anything, avoids feeling dissatisfied and discontented.

*Dragons & Yang Wood Energy
The external masculine represents the leading role and gravitates to activity, sociability, passion and efficiency. The symbol of wood allows for an ambivalent and dual nature to emerge. The energy of the Dragon can become unbalanced when strong emotions overtake them- turning kindness to anger, and their natural exuberance to vulnerability.

*DRAGON YEARS in History
The Dragon’s energy marks a universal time for renewal and growth within what already exists. Dreams are motivated to become reality for any new venture from a business to marriage, and seemingly, the more outlandish it may be, the greater outcome for success it will have.

1904, 1916, 1928, 1940, 1952, 1964, 1976, 1988, 2000, all saw large-scale changes within these areas on a global level, as will 2012, as along as intuition is carefully listened to with the Water energy guiding this particular year. As the months ahead pass, look for financial situations to stabilize and find simpler, grounding means to display true value through mid-year as Jupiter finishes up in Taurus. Once Jupiter enters Gemini, get ready for an explosion in the communication industries, optimism to return to the publishing world, education, fashion, the performing arts, and prosperity to ignite moral ideas that continue to truly evolve humanity.

CHINESE ZODIAC FUN FACTS
*The Chinese New Year is always celebrated upon an Aquarian New Moon here in the West.

*Legend has it how the Chinese Zodiac Wheel order formed is that the Rat hitched a ride on the Ox who didn’t originally intend to become the second animal in line, when Buddha challenged the animals to a race to win a position on the Chinese Zodiac calendar. The least competitive of all the animals (the dog enjoyed a bath along the way, while the pig decided to make sure he was full and even napped) fell into place to complete the 12 Animal Wheel.

*At the ages of 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 82, 94, 106, typically one experiences a very positive year as their animal returns. Coinciding with West’s planet of luck, Jupiter, returns to its’ natal point also every 12 yrs.

*At 60, the Chinese believe one’s greatest wisdom begins to unfold as one full cycle of their wheel concludes. Simultaneously in the West, the 2nd Saturn Return, in agreement with this passage also marks the soul being released into the finest period of self -expression and inner power after learning our most important life’s lessons over the previous 59.

LUNAR-O-SCOPE, NEW MOON in AQUARIUS, 2012

23 January 2012
2:39am EST
New Moon in Aquarius

Emotional Intelligence

Check any egos at the door, and get smart with the humanitarian picture as we initiate emotional energy in the sign that loves to bring innovations to life. Our NEW Moon kicks off in Aquarius, 23 January, 2:39am EST, as another waxing period of gathering begins. Where can some originality coupled with a fresh and friendly attitude begin all kinds of new feelings with you in the next two weeks?

Moon enters Aquarius
Sunday 22 January at 9:53pm EST until Wednesday, 25 January at 4:11am EST

Aquarius passages are the perfect time within our winter’s wisdom to lock into some more clues that ground us firmly to the season at hand. This recognition rewards us later with the keys to our soon to be Spring, now a mere two months away. As our Lunar Lady renews in the inventive energies of The Water Bearer -the sign that brings new life to everything- it is a great time to prophesize and put forth ideas we wish to implement and watch develop for the entire year ahead.

New Moon, 23 January 2:39am EST 02 degrees Aquarius
Be sure to check the Aquarian House, in particular the 02 degree Aquarius spot, in your personal birth chart to see where something fresh is ideally meant to unfold. This is the area of life requesting you bring improvement and new life to on some level in the next two weeks to follow. Seeds that are planted in this area until the next Full Moon upon 07 February are bound to reap a rich harvest further down the road.

For the Collective
As the Chinese Year of the Water Dragon also now begins, energies will see the possibility of detached feelings swirling in the air, but don’t take too much offense. When progressive forces are around, there logically needs to be some time off from intimacy. The capacity to engage in those ingenious thoughts is high. So if some unconventional and independent personalities display themselves to you, now you know why. They should, however, be friendly to you!

Of interest to note is this third passage of New Moons since our last Solar Eclipse in Sagittarius that initiate at the 02 degree of the sign. Our Full Moons presently are releasing at the 18th degree through the 9’s energy of finalizations and endings to our relationship to the material. Within the balance of the opposing New Moons, the singular 2 offers an ancient opportunity to receive the sensitive, nurturing, and imaginative impressions that in 2012 birthing a new spiritual awakening on this planet. Being non-judgmental and kind with our thoughts, allow the most intelligent emotional sensations to open within any individual, one where it is highly recommended to tap in to the utopia of embracing LOVE to EVOLVE.
