Standing in Your Courage: Mars Retrograde 23 Jan to 13 April

Courage. If your are a fan of the Cowardly Lion from ‘The Wizard of Oz’ there is a plenty you can reap in reward from listening to his advice over the next couple months as our planet of drive and action takes a break, and asks us all for reflection in The Virgin.

Mars has been journeying within Virgo since 10 November 2011. Perhaps, you’ve taken note of the sense of excitability emerging within this area of your Zodiac Pie. Our Pioneer planet does not hold back in the dynamic action that is moving energy here in all kinds of ways. As much as Mars loves to get things going, he equally draws forth conclusions to arrive down here below from wherever he is traveling within our celestial skies above, and sometimes, these are delivered in abrupt and rash ways.

As Mars reached 23 degrees Virgo on 19 January, his station occurred as he prepares for Retrograde motion on 23 January. Mars won’t move back to the 22nd degree of Virgo until 27 January, then his backwards journey will take him to 03 degrees Virgo. Here, he will station once more at 03 degrees Virgo on 07 April before going Direct 13 April. When any planet is within the station surrounding retrograde activity, it can bring on some intense energies down here below.

This entire passage marks a profound time to take a look at motivation and “what makes you tick” in the area of life that these degree points in Virgo rule over from both the natal birth chart and collective perspective. Mars prefers to convey his energies in “his own way” and can appear selfish from time to time. What is important to innately understand about “self” at this time is the difference between the attention to self and selfish acts. The first is a true response that is a gift to our Soul, while the latter is pure reaction that tends to create storms within our Spirit.

The natural energy of our Pioneer planet drives us to do things and at times do them rather quickly. Yet, under any Mars station and retrograde passage, it is in all of our best interests to sloooooow down, and take up with a patient pace. As we all take up further within our Winter’s retreats, certainly there couldn’t be a better time for some Mars reflection to take place. By the time it is complete 13 April, wowo, if your free will has chosen the SILENT LISTEN, what keys you will then have to unlock your Spring! As Virgo energy is at its’ best when all doubt is erased, truly it will be a time to come charging out of the gates, completely refreshed as Mars’s motivation will be ready to move forward again.

For the collective, be on the look out for endings and true conclusions to arrive in what Virgo’s purity and sense of discrimination represents for us all. As John Jocelyn speaks of this sign, “Ever does Virgo seek the reason; it wants to know why. Virgo, using the brain, requires sight and knowledge as to how one knows why. Virgo says, “Demonstrate to me how you know why!” Virgo attains to the power of discrimination, for discrimination is the one needful thing for Virgo souls. What is discrimination if not the ability to know the true from the false, the essential from the non-essential! Evolved souls in this sign get at the very core, the kernel of the exterior man, as well as to the center of things.”

This Mars Retrograde will tie up some interesting energies connected to what Saturn brought to the surface to be responsible for when he was transiting here September 2007 to October 2010. Virgo is the sign of the auditor, and those collective details that were examined and scrutinized over that time now get a true last once over. There is a discipline that will unleash itself, and whatever lessons did not fully come to pass from Father Saturn’s time here, Mars will now finalize the details of these deals.

So too, will you see these same kinds of activity from wherever Virgo seeks to be of service and brings a natural understanding to your life. Your natal birth chart that is calculated from your time of birth grants the true individual view, while the simplicity of knowing your sun sign casts the outer picture for how Mars’s reflective request also urges to speak with you. Remember, even as Mars goes Direct again upon 13 April, he will take all you have reassessed here moving forward to remain within the Virgo slice of your Zodiac Pie until 03 July, when he enters Libra.

A little quick guide is below from the collective perspective on which area of life Mars presently will request your courage to unfold as he journeys backwards for a pass. If you know your Rising Sign/Ascendant (determined from the time of birth) then look to how 23 to 03 degrees Virgo precisely sits within the natal birth chart for closer insight to how you can make the most of rising up to your core and grace.

Aries: Health/Being of Service/Employees/Pets

Taurus: Creativity/Children/Love Affairs

Gemini: Home/Family/Emotions/Environments

Cancer: Thinking/Mentality/Communications

Leo: Values/Earning Power/Possessions

Virgo: Approaches/Mask to the World/Motivations

Libra: Inner Psyche/Clearing of the Past

Scorpio: Innovations/Friendships/Organizations

Sagittarius: Career/Public Life/Opportunities

Capricorn: Philosophies/Foreign Travel/Education

Aquarius: Transformations/Sexuality/Wealth

Pisces: Partnerships/Marriage/Balance with Others

Mars Retrograde will test our patience and truest sense of how we handle aggression and penetration within our lives, being he is -aside from the role of The Pioneer- the true warrior within the Zodiac. Yet, instead of reacting to any pressure that may come our way in conflict, there is another innate energy of Mars that will bring us the best results as we reflect. This, simply, is the response of COURAGE. URGE OUR CORE, CURE OUR RAGE, CURE OUR EGO, GRACE OUR AGE.

May rising up in courage bring you the brightest blessings Dear Stars as you discover and reflect upon all of your whys. Namaste.

A Quick Word on The Idealist….

Venus enters Pisces

14 January
12:47am EST

Can you feel them? All the sympathetic swirls as our most romantic planet now takes us to swimming within The Fishes?

Our planet of balance and harmony looks to share some true tender, devoted, and yielding affections where Pisces loves to exercise some compassion and self-sacrifice within our lives throughout 08 February.

For the collective, this is an especially favored time for expressing emotions, as these are equally easily swayed in the gentle tones that Pisces brings. Be keen to noting how peace can find it’s path, for Venus is not a fan of arguments nor conflict to bring forth her calm blessings.

Looking to where The Fishes engage in all things empathic, psychic and receptive within your personal Zodiac Pie, you’ll definitely find Venus’s visit here to cast a quiet and smooth air to this area of the life. Taking up with poetry, music, and simply appreciating what already is of beauty here is time well spent while The Idealist is submerged in the mutable water that Pisces expresses itself through.

Relating with an open heart is especially one of Venus’s greatest gifts wherever we see her journeying within the Zodiac, so be sure to embrace this time with The Fishes to innately get in touch with how you are meant to see both side of the issues at hand from this slice of life. You’ll find the means for understanding here at present to be more than easy-going, and as long as concentration is cultivated, you’ll be able to believe all the impressions that can be received with a healthy imagination behind them. Remember, sometimes it simply is all about taking pause in a SILENT LISTEN.

Things get truly sensitive here when our next Waxing Moon visits with Pisces 25 to 27 January. With the conjunction happening at 14 degrees Pisces at 8:12am 26 January, if you are looking for change and movement with your gathering emotions, Venus will be happily making sure your wishes here can come true. A slight bit of logic will try to question feelings at this time, but honing in on the natural intuition Pisces presents to honor, lets your heart be at peace with the right choices to make.

Keep on making friends with Winter. Know, you are with every patient step, gathering more clues for your keys to Spring.

A Quick Word on The Messenger….

Mercury enters Capricorn
08 Jan

1:34am EST

Now that we are one week past the Shadow completing of the recent Holiday Season’s Retrograde passage, Mercury has brought all of his communications through within The Archer until October 2012. Time now to get back to some serious business when it comes to our thinking and mentality as he takes up with the ambitions of The Goat.

For the collective, communications can find a passage of reliable, conventional and careful means of expression for the next couple of weeks. This is an absolutely fabulous time to hone in on clear, methodical, and resourceful methods of collecting thoughts and grounding them.

Energies from our thoughts may seem dry and at times rigid, yet as our Messenger journeys with The Goat, you can not ask for a better time of year to truly sit with slow and patient perceptions. Quick decisions should be avoided. Rather, taking up with some profound pause and caution is highly recommended.

Look out for secrets to be unveiled and intense transformation to stir as Mercury conjuncts Pluto on Friday the 13th January. Viewed as an unlucky date by some, The Chaldeans honored this vibration to represent ‘Regeneration and Change.’ Couple this with where 07 degrees Capricorn lives in the life, and you’ll find some kind of shift is ready to unfold right before your eyes. Remember, it is the letting of what is no longer necessary here that sets up the perfect alignment for the lines of communication to be wide open to receive a rebirth.

Check your personal Zodiac Pie to see where Mercury is presently requesting this adaptability within your life. You’ll find, in this specific area of the life throughout 27 January, that you have some innate conservation to tap into to make smart decisions here. By listening to the stability and tradition that Capricorn is presenting for anyone to embrace, we will be all the more prepared for the inventions and new life that Aquarius will be eagerly awaiting to bestow upon us as Winter’s wisdom continues.

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

09 January 2012
2:30am EST
Full Moon in Cancer

Practical Imagination

We celebrate our first Lunar Lady light show of 2012 under a Full Moon in Cancer, which is ready to let your imagination flow! While our Sun is still in practical Capricorn, feelings surrounding this lunation are here to balance how we can go with our gut and still be stable and patient enough to trust our instinct for this next waning phase. The 4th Full Moon in a row at the 18th degree of the sign, get ready for more intense release in the life where The Crab cozies up at home.

Moon enters Cancer
Saturday 07 January, 4:05pm EST to Monday 09 January, 11:35pm EST
We can be quite influenced by our environments under a Cancer Moon passage, as the Moon is right at home in it’s native sign. Steering clear of reacting with moodiness but responding with a well-developed and active instinct will allow your imagination to let go of what is no longer necessary in this area of the life. The capacity to cherish and relive experiences is strong under any Cancer Moon, but beware of that typical Crab tendency to hold on too tight to the past. Pulling into the Sun in Capricorn’s ability to go slow and listen to reason brings one right back to center.

Full Moon, 2:30am EST 09 January, 18 degrees Cancer
Reflection mode is now being requested where 18 degrees Cancer falls in your Zodiac Pie, indicating the area of life you ideally should focus through our next New Moon in Aquarius 23 January. Naturally, your Cancer ruled house will bring pull to the opposite house the Sun is current transiting through in Capricorn. Be sure to note this other area of life that is equally part of your star advice- pointing how to manifest personal balance, and where some new beginnings are in their own ambitious stages right now.

For the Collective
Our first Full Moon of 2012 within Cancer casts a sympathetic, sensitive, and passive mood upon the collective. Getting domesticated, enjoying the feminine and basking in the glory of the home, family and good food so pleases a Cancer vibration. With a little friendly motivation coming from Mars in Virgo, there is plenty of logic tied into helping the imagination from running too wild. One easily can find the path to making sense of what this lunation from the The Crab is requesting should be let go of in the life.

This month, as we arrive at the 18th degree of the sign to do so, we see the 4th lunation in a row at this degree point. We started this pattern back with the last Full Moon in Aries upon 11 October 2011. Take a look at this third of your Zodiac Pie from Aries to Cancer. Here is where there has been a “no turning back” energy offering itself over these past months. As the 18 represents adapting to a spiritual nature over a materialistic one, we are wise to keep this in mind as our conclusions here continue to play out.

LUNAR-O-SCOPE, Full Moon in Cancer 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: Even though the career presses you hard at present- there is attention you are wise to devote to the nest egg and family. Focus upon realigning your sense of comfort and security is time well spent. Anything within the home that you’ve been procrastinating about cleaning, now is your perfect opportunity! Don’t ignore the deja-vu that may come up, these contain important messages that wish to nurture you. New friends, hopes and dreams are on the way soon.

Taurus: Stop clinging to that worn out idea. Uproot the past, and find healthy channels for your imagination to regroup. Gear-up for some new career sparks that will need the room to unfold by the next New Moon. Siblings and neighbors may call to you now- whatever is unsettled in these areas, work them out in your patient way. This is a great time for taking pen to paper, and being your creativity is motivated these days, you’ll be happy you can look back again to remember it.

Gemini: There is a possession in your life you should logically throw out, or better yet, give away to charity. Time to let your reflection bask in what you hold dear -for what you think is absolutely secure may not be- and release that old worn out value. You’ll be making room for some better philosophies to come into play shortly. Won’t you be all the happier, having more room to let your beliefs unite and shine like the MINI GEM that you already are?

Cancer: It’s your month Dear Crab to be in the Lunar spotlight of reflection. There’s an entirely different emotional standpoint you’re meant to nurture from. Check those approaches, for the room you make now allows a pretty intense rebirth to initiate by the next New Moon. While steering clear of being selfish, focus on you before others. People are tired of seeing this worn-out mask you wear to the world, as there isn’t any more security left for you to hide behind.

Leo: Carefully examine the depths within your truest sense of transcendence. The subconscious wishes to purge. Pick up with your dream journal, for your nighttime ones have a plenty to say to you about your waking world right now. Preparing you for some new one-on-one relationships to blossom soon enough, these two weeks will result in a serious alteration within your inner world, but it’s up to you to recognize what no longer needs to be in your own royal court here.

Virgo: Worried about friends or a group? If you’re holding on to someone or something that doesn’t serve you, you’re just going to get more and more nit-picky. Possibly there may be a hope or a wish unfulfilled here, so it may be time to move on. Use that Mercurial logic of yours and make the right choice, and by the next New Moon, you’ll be ready to serve others better than ever before. Should a spontaneous social invitation present itself, don’t shy away from it.

Libra: It’s time to stop relating to what no longer is necessary within your career and public life anymore. If not now, Saturn will make sure you listen to reason later, and that just might tip your Scales a little too much for your taste. Take some time in the next two weeks and revisit how you care about what you do- what needs refreshing? This ultimately allows the room for some new innovations to be able to emerge within your creative nature by the next New Moon.

Scorpio: Relinquish a worn out philosophy. While you are well adapted to surrendering to regeneration, rest assured by the next New Moon there will be some invigorating energy stirring within your home and sense of security, so make the necessary room now for it. Try on an educational review; reflect upon a recent trip, spiritual quest, or how you’ve recently expanded within your life. These kinds of probes unravel another mystery you’ve been waiting to solve.

Sagittarius: Now that your recent Solar Eclipse initiations are finally moving forward, there still are more regenerative energies that await to find you. So put down your arrow and realize your aim should focus upon reflection within your wealth, other people’s money, and how you ultimately transform. Gain scope of everything surrounding you- for what you restore now and dispose of has your thinking and mentality emerging your best ideas yet by the next New Moon.

Capricorn: Excellence, like all else you do in life, also applies to your relationships. If there is a memory of one that no longer works weighing you down emotionally- let it wash away with the tide. Arrive at conclusions here with any one-on-one. Yes, old Goat, it is tough that tradition could be broken but that’s the toil. Whether they stay or go, it’s your journey of perfection. By the next New Moon, you’ll see exactly what this makes room for within all that you value in life.

Aquarius: There’s always a way you are looking to bring new life to things- best now take this to your health, habits, and that friendly way you enjoy helping others. Didn’t stick to your original resolutions? Shhh… we won’t tell but you have one more opportunity to revamp your regimes and routines. Examine how you really bring service to others: what can be improved? By the New Moon, innovative and fresh approaches find you, so reflect well upon your daily life now.

Pisces: Your psychic powers do not deceive you, so what’s not been working for you creatively lately? You are wise to revisit the ways you nurture your lovely sensitivity and all it wants to initiate. An on-going creative adventure completes itself. Swim swiftly to improvements to your channels of creation, just IMAGINE them: I AM IN A MEGA MAGI GAIN! Children may also desire you to pause amongst your vast ocean and tread some water with them for a while.

2012: Embrace Spirit

More than likely you couldn’t be more excited that another Universal New Year has now officially begun. While there has been much speculation about what the world at large can anticipate about the turn of events to unfold in 2012, let’s take a look at what our dear planets from above say about the energies going on down here below.

2012 represents a 5 Universal Year in it’s presence, and is guided by our Messenger planet Mercury. Undoubtedly, you have already heard this year will be one of significant change. Indeed these are not rumors to be cast away lightly. But our changes, as they will display themselves, are certainly something any soul should not choose to fear.

As we all do as spiritual beings having our human experiences, we personally encounter Mercury and his 5 energy every 9 days, 9 months and 9 years. We share in not only our own individual and personal forecast as we flow in time with that of The Universe, but witness what occurs in the world’s experiences that affects the larger part of the entire whole.

On a collective level, humanity too, goes through 9 year cycles. Our last year of major changes was in 2003. Previous to that, 1994, 1985, 1976, 1967, 1958, 1949, 1940, 1931, 1922, 1913, and 1904 are all of the years throughout the last century that have represented years that changes to the masses on one significant level or another occurred within. Go back in history and see what links up here.

So, here we are again now amidst a collective year that promises to change the landscape of the world at large in a massive way. 5 is the midway point of any cycle of the 9. In the 5, as blossoming and change wish to occur, these all are stemming ideally from the new beginnings planted 4 years prior.

Looking back to 2008, this is a time that the collective first started the seeds which have completed their understanding of being nurtured (2009), then sprouted (2010), and have the depth of root and security (2011) to be able to permanently change from the foundation that has now been built. The platform is in place for real change and movement to unfold as 2012 progresses.

As we will be concluding 2012, October brings in a tremendous astrological shift from Saturn, the planet of karma, responsibility and patience as he will then enter the realms of transformational Scorpio. With the combination of a 5 Universal Year and this planetary alignment, you can be sure some of the most intense changes of the year come in the latter months of it.

In pure planetary “reversals” our planet of regeneration and change, Pluto, already has been reflecting on everything that will see it’s greatest shifts, as he has been slowly making changes upon the collective in the ambitions of Capricorn since November 2008. Undoubtedly, the last 3 months of 2012 are ones where shift truly come through as Pluto and Saturn see themselves in the sign the other one innately rules. Karmic changes indeed.

There is no better time to take a deep breath and be ready for the future. How -as a collective unit- will we be able to adapt and be versatile enough to accept the changes before us all? For whatever reasons, the very idea of EMBRACE SPIRIT came to mind as I asked myself this very question. When I went further to ponder the Name Expression of this phrase, I guess it didn’t surprise me too much that it ticked to the blessings of the 23, the Chaldean’s innate understanding of ‘The Royal Star of the Lion.’

Within this most fortunate 5 vibration, the 23 promises that by tapping into it, we can receive its’ wisdom. Of which the Chaldeans’ spoke of this numerological gift: “This is a karmic reward number. 23 bestows, not only a promise of success in personal and career endeavors, it guarantees help from superiors and protection from those in high places. It’s a most fortunate number, and greatly blesses with abundant grace the person or entity represented by it. Other numbers don’t have much of a chance to bring about serious trouble when the Royal Star of the Lion is present during difficult times. No number can challenge the Lion’s strength and win.”

Still a little antsy about the changes 2012 promises? By remembering to EMBRACE SPIRIT, there isn’t any doubt that when we look to one more star secrets treasure of the Lexigrams it can derive, we -in all of our human experiences as spiritual beings- will survive them and remain in our personal strength. As the letters within can be poetically phrased to tell the truth of the matter, who wouldn’t look forward to these Universal gifts in 2012?

EMBRACE SPIRIT

I AM A SMART SPIRIT MAP

I BE A PRIME PRECISE PRAISER

I REAP A RARE STREAM

I BE A SCEPTRE AS I BEAM


I SEE STAR SECRETS TRACE A CRITERIA I RESPECT

I CREATE A PRIME SPACE I BE BEST

I AIM AT A TAME PACE AS I BE

I PRESCRIBE A MERRIEST PACE AS I BE ME

I BE BEST AT A TEAM MERIT AS I CREATE ME

AS I PRAISE ME, I CREATE A RARE STREAM I REAP

AS I CREATE, I SEE A TEAM SPACE I RESPECT

AS I SEE TIME IS MITE, I BE SMARTER AT PEACE

I PERMIT PEACE AS ME PASTIME AS I ASPIRE

I AM A MASTER AT PEACE AS I RISE, RISE, RISE

Now, as always Dear Stars, I didn’t give you all the answers.

What do you see about the rewards of the practice of EMBRACE SPIRIT?

Happy, Happy Spirals of Change in Your 2012.
Namaste.

Word Ponder: RESOLUTIONS

Colourful 2014 in fiery sparklers
Bet now that the Christmas crunch is over, you are moving forward to think about how to bring better energy into your new year. What other way do we typically do this than decide to make some resolutions within our lives as we are about to enter 2014?When looking to the very word of resolutions, we see that it carries a name expression via Chaldean Numerology of the 46. Breaking it down to the 10’s The Wheel of Fortune, we find we are, when making them, at the very root number of the 1.

Certainly there is no coincidence in what the ancient Chaldeans understood about their number to letter match up system, which differs from the one that Pythagorean Numerology utilizes. As we know, anytime we take up with resolutions, we should be in the space of initiation, which is what the 1 wishes to create through its’ energy of new beginnings.

Yet sometimes, we all discover -as one may experience with carrying out those resolutions- that they don’t have much lasting power past February as the truest sense of those winter blues may surface. How can we set better intentions for ourselves when making improvements within our lives?

Looking to the 10 and The Wheel of Fortune’s guidance over knowing what we are dealing with within our resolutions, we can tap into this advice from our Chaldean friends:

“10 is symbolized by Isis and Osiris. A number of rise and fall, according to personal desire. Every event is self-determined. 10 is the symbol of LOve and LIght, which create all that can be imagined, and also contains the code: Imagine. 10 Ordain. Imagine it and it shall be. Ordain it and it will materialize. The power for manifesting creative concepts into reality is inherent, but must be used with wisdom, since the power for absolute creation contains the polarity power for absolute destruction. Self-discipline and infinite compassion must accompany the gift of the former to avoid the tragedy of the latter. Discipline must proceed Dominion.”

So, when making your resolutions for 2014, take some time to sit with the self and truly IMAGINE the possibilities! For then, your most certainly will be the one saying later on, I AM IN A MAGI GAIN. Then when you ORDAIN these into manifestation, you’ll be happily IN AN ADORN ON A ROAD IN NO RAIN by February.

We’ll also be ringing in the Universal New Year of 2014 amidst a Capricorn New Moon. Boy, are we all ever blessed with gathering from the astrological source of being completely responsible to our new beginnings as we equally let go of what no longer serves us to move forward and be ready to receive the dynamic changes that 2014 will offer to us all.

One more piece of star secrets wisdom on those resolutions comes from the makings of the very word itself. As we tap into some Lexigram magic, we can see how able the anagrams found within are ready to share their story with us in their poetic ways as they spell out the truth. Taking up with well-intended and imagined resolutions definitely will ordain some great food for your soul.

RESOLUTIONS

I LISTEN TO ONE SILENT SOUL
I UNITE IT IN ONE SOUL SOLUTION
I IS RESOLUTE TO RISE TO IT
SOULS UNITE IT IN ONE
I RE-ROUTE ROUTINES
I LET OUT LOSER LIE UNTIES
I LOSE LIES TO UNTIE IT, TO LOOSEN IT TRUE
I NOTE TRUE CORE OUTLINES
SUNRISE TO SUNSET I UNITE IT
I IS IN SURE SERIOUS RESULTS IN ONE SILENT LISTEN
I ORIENT IN TO TRUE SOUL LINE
I LISTEN IN TO OUR SOULS TRUE TUNE
I LET IN OUR SOULS’ TRUE SOURCE, OUR CORE
I LISTEN IN ONE SILENT SOURCE TO TIES SENT IN TEN: (ONE, 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 TEN!)
I LISTEN IN TO ONE SILENT SOUL: I SIT, I LET IT IN, I SIT IN IT.

Adding on the “New Year” as we all tend to do, takes our Lexigram wisdom to one more level:

NEW YEARS RESOLUTIONS

YES I UNITE IT IN ONE REAL WISE SOUL ANSWER TO ANOINT IT IN ONE

I’ll let your Lexigram thinking cap take on the rest….

HAPPY Universal New Year 2014 Dear Stars.
Imagine and Ordain well.
Namaste.

Jupiter Goes Direct in Taurus 25 December

A Quick Word on The Philosopher….

Jupiter goes Direct in Taurus
25 December
5:08pm EST

While you may have been told that good fortune was bestowing you where The Bull takes a stance in your Zodiac Pie, this flow of energy has kinda been on hold since 30 August. What’s been happening here in the past few months is some necessary reflection. This time ideally allows the blessings, ease and abundance that this planet innately knows how to cast down through which ever sign it currently in to be all the more appreciated.

As we said back on 04 June when Jupiter entered Taurus during The Month of Gemini:

Look to where The Bull solidifies in all your Zodiac Pie, and rest assured there are blessings and ease unfolding within this area of the life for the next year. The Philosopher planet brings expansion here, all in the constructive force that Taurus operates from. Collectively, our enthusiasm is best aligned within material pleasures- yet extravagant and self-indulgent energies will not be tolerated. Educating our minds within the realms of conventional, sympathetic, and charitable opportunities are sure to reflect back placid results; ensuring our belief in solidarity.

Jupiter only reached 10 degrees Taurus before entering it’s annual period of reflection, as it went Retrograde upon 30 August. Now, as it has back tracked to 0 degrees Taurus, get ready to kind of start all over again with the fun feeling you had in this area of the life from June to August. Hope you’ve all done your reflective homework here. Otherwise, you may not receive the gifts Jupiter will be happy to bring you throughout 11 June 2012, when it will move forward then into Gemini.

See where Jupiter is offering opportunity and optimism for you from the collective perspective:

Aries: Earning Power/Values
Taurus: Approaches/First Impressions/Mask to the World
Gemini: Inner World/Subconscious Process
Cancer: Friendships/Groups/Hopes/Dreams
Leo: Career/Public Life
Virgo: Higher Education/Philosophy/Foreign Travels
Libra: Wealth/Sexuality/Transformation
Scorpio: Partnerships
Sagittarius: Health/Being of Service
Capricorn: Creativity/Children
Aquarius: Home/Family/Environment
Pisces: Thinking/Mentality/Siblings

Couple this current waxing phase from the New Moon in Capricorn, and you have a bird’s eye view to see what is cropping up a new and fresh within the life, as this earthen energy relates fabulously right now within your Zodiac Pie. Check out too your last Lunar-O-Scope 24 December!

A truly wonderful and innate gift from Spirit and The Universe upon Christmas Day indeed.
Reap your good fortune well, Dear Stars. Merry, Merry Christmas.

LUNAR-O-SCOPE: NEW Moon in CAPRICORN, 2011

New Moon in Capricorn
24 December 2011
1:06pm EST

Grounding Practical Feelings

Welcome to the final NEW Moon of 2011! As we have just celebrated the Winter Solstice, it is now time to gather up initiations and embrace the gifts of the season in true forward motion. While the Shadow of the recent Mercury Retrograde still remains until 01 January, be ready for a fresh and favored energy to emerge where The Goat ambitiously climbs in your life.

Moon enters Capricorn
Saturday, 8:47am EST 24 December to Monday, 12:14pm EST 26 December
Depending upon your personal feelings, Winter may not be your favorite time of the year to feel “anew” within. Yet, as life always presents us with change, heeding to the wisdom within winter can be valuable beyond the typical “blues” that tend to be experienced. Remember the Goat’s virtues of stability, patience, responsibility, and ambition- these are the ones the Universe requests we utilize. Our Lunar Lady’s transit through this practical sign requests that we get a little more serious about what we feel, and bring those emotions right down to earth to find a sure direction to flow.

New Moon, 1:06pm EST 24 December, 02 degrees Capricorn
There is no better time to tap into discovering some diligent outlooks, some which may seem a little too serious- but reliable these will be to grab hold of. Whichever area of life the 02-degree Capricorn piece of the collective and natal Zodiac Pie falls is where you can expect to see some fresh starts to emerge. Take the next 2 weeks to plant the seeds that will, with proper intention, reap a fantastic harvest in the life further down the road. Should you choose to partake in the tendency for a Capricorn Moon to gravitate to brooding, gloomy or suspicious feelings, you’ll miss the opportunities to recognize the new mountains you are meant to climb in this area of the life.

For the Collective
2011 opened and now closes its final New Moon cycle within The Goat. Looking to how the Solar Eclipse that paired up with 04 January’s lunar kick-off at the 13 degree Capricorn point, as we have evolved through this Universal Year, no doubt we all have seen those new beginnings from last Winter having arrived at a completion of energy where Capricorn affects our Zodiac Pie. As this month’s New Moon emerges, it’s time to take that patient pause and take in what we are meant to take charge of and be ready to initiate as a whole new cycle starts.

Taking note of our Taurus slice of life, we find a nice alignment of communication between this New Moon and where Jupiter is currently transiting at 0 degrees. Our planet of luck, fortune and growth returns to Direct motion upon Christmas Day. Whatever is presently cropping up in Capricorn, Jupiter aides this lunation to bring out this fresh energy with a nice dose of optimism as it trines from the area of life where The Bull firmly plants stability within your life. Expect what feelings come to be expanded, sincere, and most certainly dignified in their outcomes.

LUNAR-O-SCOPE, Lunar Eclipse, Full Moon in GEMINI, 2011

LUNAR Eclipse, FULL Moon in Gemini
10 December

Uniting in Reflection

Welcome a finalizing energy in the Gemini area of your life! Coupled by the Lunar Eclipse, think of this as an activator in your natal birth chart that will indicate exactly where you need to focus upon completion and expect some necessary reflection to take place. Now the collective’s emotions get stirred in the sign that strives for stimulating communication on any level. Where will you release an alert instinct in the next two weeks and months ahead?

Moon enters Gemini
Thursday 08 December, 9:52pm EST to Sunday 11 December, at 8:26am EST
Gemini energy must beware of opportunist, crafty, distracted, and irresolute energies that may arise. When there is plenty of logic and observation around, it is easy to gravitate to scattered, unstable, and suggestible tendencies. While a strong sense of cleverness and reasonability mark any Gemini passage, the cultivation of concentration, relaxation, organization, and the power of a SILENT LISTEN will allow this transit to reap its’ greatest rewards.

Lunar Eclipse, Full Moon 10 December, 9:32am, 9:36am EST, 18 deg Gemini
A FULL Moon in Gemini brings forth adaptable and inquisitive feelings. As another waning phase begins, it is time to take those recent new ideas and initiations out there to now reflect in the light from the last New Moon and Solar Eclipse in Sagittarius upon 25 November. When our Full Moon embarks in the versatile and inquisitive energies of Gemini -the sign that consciously aims for establishing relationships- be alert to the intellectual gifts that are meant to unfold. More so than any other time of the year, this Full Moon grants a keen observational force that the Twins wish to share with the world.

Be sure to check the Gemini House, in particular the 18 deg Gemini spot, in your personal birth chart to see where a conclusive energy is ideally meant to unfold as the Full Moon peaks. The particular area of life in the Zodiac Pie it will fall- allows a trigger of energy to be felt for a significant period of time. Think of Eclipses as activators in your natal birth chart that will indicate exactly where you need to focus and expect action to take place for the long term. As we now take up with a Lunar Eclipse, there is a release and completion that you will see unfold as the months ahead come to pass.

For the Collective
This Lunation brings conclusions to what ideally began back from the New Moon June 2011 when we had a Solar Eclipse kick-off in Gemini. As we now see the 3rd Full Moon of a series of 6 release at the 18th degree of the sign, -which began in October in Aries- there is a Universal request that we take stock of the material in our lives and bring forth more spiritual understanding. As we look to this within Gemini, our sharp study couldn’t be more necessary to further upon the logic that is meant to be applied here. Looking ahead to our next Full Moon in Cancer at the 18th degree, we’ll be getting ready for some true feelings and release where emotional attachments are concerned, but for now, carefully examine the thoughts that come to you under this current passage.

Lunar-O-Scope, Full Moon in Gemini, 10 December 2011
For the collective horoscope, again we offer some simple advice for every sign from the outer vantage point. Remember, if you know your Rising Sign (Ascendant), read that passage too, for it typically will apply to your personal charts’ advice. Keep in mind, it is full mathematical analysis of the individual birth chart that truly indicates how the current planetary energies are uniquely affecting you.

Aries: Thoughts now can be properly placed into a conclusive mental focus that you have been working towards since June. While you are no stranger to striking up ideas, many you have had now come full circle. Take time to consider a short trip if you aren’t already on one. You may find your siblings require your attention at this time, but be sure not to react to them, simply respond. Your spirited mind eagerly partakes in reflection, so do ask questions, as your curiosity brings forth these necessary answers.

Taurus: Your possessions are always of great value to you, but it is time to part with some of them. How you earn your dollars may find a decisive avenue to flow from that saw its’ birth back in June. While you cherish that deep sense of solidarity and security, logic naturally wishes to enter the situation as you honestly ask yourself, what does the material mean to me? Your patience is wise to work smarter with your finances, money, and sense of values. Let go of old roots now so new ones are able to grow in later.

Gemini: As this extra boost of Lunar spotlight shines ultimately upon your ability to reflect, be ready for witty, liberal, and self-oriented feelings to accompany your normal improvisational approach. All that has flowed anew from June completes a cycle. With your first impressions now finding the channel for release, fully commit to taking this time to re-activate the self.

Cancer: You won’t mind going into some deeper waters and take the Crab on a dive into those inner places in your life, and be sure to remember the messages from your night-time dreams. Romanticizing about the past allows a subconscious discovery to unfold. The spiritual, inner realms, and the psychological make-ups of life call to you, and mentally you will require some logic to put it all into the finalizations you will arrive at. The worn out weight of the past can be washed away with the tide.

Leo: Your friendships and organizations take focus and attention. You already sense what no longer works here, and now conclusions will be drawn. If there is a group or cause you’ve been thinking about releasing, cast them out of your royal court. What you recently unleashed from your creative nature finds a way to be seen now. Accept that unexpected invitation to socialize, for there is equal mental and equal emotional satisfaction you’ll gain from attending. Keep your hopes and dreams high, and wish well.

Virgo: There is some harvest, stability, and reward awaiting results within your career and public life, so this is no time to be shy! A project comes to fruition, or a recent job may come to an end.

Clarity comes to you in how to ultimately move forward in knowing how your work is providing the best of service not only to others, but to your specific place in the public eye.

Libra: Inspiration is fueling the end of the path you have been taking your philosophies on since June. Thinking about taking a long trip to balance those Scales? You are comforted by reflecting upon planning one, (that is if you aren’t already on one), yet you equally aim to find ways to broaden your view of the world at large. You’ll reach the peak of expansion within your ideals, as you realize just how much your recent educational and mental pursuits have brought you clarity and peace. Let go of an old belief.

Scorpio: This month urges you to reach conclusions about your securities and investments, as now is the time to reflect upon whether these have been for the best or not. No stranger to transformation, you’ll find there is another turn that your regenerative abilities will find to complete, and this strengthens your passion like never before. It’s no secret you typically always feel sexy, but even more intense excitement unfolds that brings a real peak as you reflect upon thinking about your power in the bedroom.

Sagittarius: Your partnerships will be on your mind, from your romantic ties to business contacts. What needs to conclude and move out of the way here from June’s new beginnings?

Aim your arrow to stimulating conversations that captivate your interest, which more than likely will concern the past. There is definitely a friendly reflection that desires to encourage a renewed optimism with your closest ties.

Capricorn: While your world is practically perfect Old Goat, there are things that wish to conclude in regards to your health and how you bring your impeccable service to others. There’s a routine or habit you are wise to shed that finds its means to an end now. You may think all of your responsible habits are serving you, but take a look around and see which ones may be too tired to keep up with your ambitious pace. Your relationship with pets also is brought to the surface- should they stay or should they go?

Aquarius: There’s a conclusive light that brings full illumination to your creativity. Whatever project you’ve been inventing and stimulating since June wishes to be brought to fruition. While plenty of playful feelings and opportunities to socialize are around, your children, or “brain children” may ask for your ultimate attention now. A love affair may fall out of the larger picture. Enjoy this time to unravel the final touches upon what you originate, as your creative adventures wish to see the light of day.

Pisces: Get out of the water and clean your house Dear Fishes! The home environment requires your imagination and full attention as things come full circle here from June’s initiations. You sense that your family life arrives at a whole different point of view, one that may see necessary conclusions. Appreciate and fine-tune your psychic abilities to the extra déjà vu experiences that surround you: the channel will be wide open and ready for you to receive their important messages. If it feels karmic, you are spot on.

Venus enters Capricorn 26 November

A Quick Word on The Idealist…

Venus enters Capricorn
26 November
7:36am EST

Our planet of harmony and seeing both sides of the issue now is journeying where The Goat climbs ambitiously within your Zodiac Pie. What can we expect from Venus’s time with Capricorn throughout December 20th?

There is a collective calling for a constant affection- which just may result in sincere, lasting, protective and shy displays of love as we continue into the holiday season under Mercury REtrograde. What one is wise to avoid here is the gravitation to sensing limitation, challenges, and that nothing will ever happen at all nor develop within our ability to bring forth peace from within as our holiday season now is on.

Venus does wish to cast a pleasurable tone and excellence to your Capricorn house with anyone’s natal chart at this time, wherein she is offering the lessons to learn of developing self-reliance and eliminating unwanted restrictions to seek harmony through.

By 01 December, Venus conjuncts Pluto -in the midst of his long-term transformations here- at 06 degrees Capricorn. What you may see at present already going through a regenerative process, gets a nice wave of agreeable energies to aide it further along.

As the Moon recently passed through here from the 26 to 29 November gathering up in the waxing light, we had a trigger of new energy surge in this area of the life. Look forward to Venus, to make sure balance will continue to unfold blessings until the kick off of a complete fresh energy finds you here upon Christmas Eve when our next New Moon in Capricorn unfolds.

What about you? What area of life does harmony wish to find you in December?
