New IDEAS as Reflecting AIDES

Aim high for one of the more auspicious New Moons within this Zodiac Year, as we equally experience the initiations of a Solar Eclipse! This month sees our Lunar Lady kick-off in Sagittarius, which has been perfectly making the space for true new beginnings to emerge here since the Lunar Eclipse in June. For certain the time is now to anticipate a long term passage of fresh energy where those Archer arrows urge to expand within your Zodiac Pie- but we will all do these with a little pause, until Mercury returns to Direct Motion in Sagittarius 13 December.

Moon enters Sagittarius
Thursday 24 November, 8:57pm EST to Saturday 26 November, 10:05pm EST
Whenever our Lunar Lady spends time with The Archer, we are encouraged to gravitate to exploration, education, philosophy, inquiry, along with a touch of luck and good fortune: the natural gifts of a Moon in Sagittarius. Fitfully enthusiastic instincts coupled with honorable, highly independent, and buoyant emotions are ready to be embraced by the collective. Meanwhile, do be on the look out for the mutable fire here to possibly catch you off-guard- as restless, outspoken, roving, and superficial energies may distastefully display themselves.

New Moon, Solar Eclipse 25 November, 1:10am, 1:20am EST, 02 degrees Sagittarius
Early Friday’s Lunar kick-off will cast an easily stimulated instinct that anyone can find inspiration within when true imagination is applied. Embracing the warm, spontaneous and intuitive feelings that wish to spark- ultimately keep any potential for argumentative reactions to emotionally explode at bay. Remember within mutable fire, there are no limits, so the innate wisdom to know when to say when is smart to adhere to.

Be sure to check the Sagittarian House, in particular the 02 degree piece, in your personal birth chart to see where a new start will be stemming from for many months ahead that will require true nurturing, sensitivity, and imagination to accompany it. Any New Moon offers us a precise trigger each month, and when coupled by a Solar Eclipse, we are granted a longer period where seeds planted here truly engage us in a lush energy that we can continue to reap and see reward from.

For the Collective
While any given New Moon brings forth the opportunity to engage in a fresh start to our emotions, we’ve kinda got a “catch 22” where Sagittarius affects us. As new beginnings do desire to aim from where The Archer lives in our Zodiac Pies, Mercury currently requests we take the necessary time for reflection and reassessments, 24 November through 13 December. Ideally, you will take note of the initiations wishing to find you, but for optimal success over the long-term with any of them, it is best that we hold off on signing legal bindings and the activation of anything important until after The Messengers’ forward motion returns 13 December. Check in with your full do’s and don’ts of this current MRx at Minding Mercury Rx in The Archer’s Aims.

Aside from the Sun, Moon, and Mercury, there are plenty of other energies stirring where Sagittarius seeks to expand your life. Venus is just about to conclude it’s journey here, having nicely paved the way over the past couple weeks in this area for harmony and a sense of peace to unfold. With strong request of the current North Nodes’ transit to be diligent to The Archer, this affect truly wishes for focus and perhaps even extra effort to this piece of anyone’s Zodiac Pie. Honor where the North Node is asking for your attention. If you choose to walk away, essential life teachings will be missed out upon, truly setting up karmic repercussions. Tie it all in with Mercury doing his “backwards thing” at present here, and there is quite an intensity that Sagittarius is calling for us all to listen carefully to.

One more astrological “tid bit” is the trine from Retrograding Uranus at 0 degrees Aries makes to our New Moon, Solar Eclipse and Sun at 02 degrees Sagittarius. Checking in where these two spots relate within your Zodiac Pie equally encourage us to take advantage of new opportunities offered- resulting in benefits for a long time to come. There is a wealth of extra intuition and energetic feelings that angle in with this lunation, all in an intense search for freedom and unique ways to revolutionize our lives. As your Sagittarian area of life seeks a new sense of security, Aries is paving the way for further independence to allow it to be comfortable. Understanding this dynamic connection opens a smooth and easy path- truly a wonderful gift from above anyone down here below can choose to be enthusiastic about.

LUNAR-O-SCOPE, NEW Moon, SOLAR Eclipse in Sagittarius 2011
For the collective horoscope, again we offer advice for every sign from the outer vantage point. Remember, if you know your Rising Sign (Ascendant), read that passage too, for it typically will apply to your personal charts’ advice. Keep in mind, the exact casting of the natal birth chart determines a closer perspective to how the current transits of the planets personally and specifically affect you.

Aries: A fresh philosophy awaits for you to unleash it Dear Ram. Think about taking a trip if you aren’t already in action to do so. You’ll be stirred in the months ahead to travel, even if you only simply expand the mind with some knowledge. Pursue something that puts your pioneering spirit heading towards higher education. As you keep on expecting the unexpected in your approaches and first impressions, be open to a new belief that requires your use of courage to grow and evolve.

Taurus: Been thinking about how to improve securities and finances Dear Bull? It’s a prominent time to take a look at your wealth, along with your shared/joint resources. Yet, be cautious with any long-term investments until Mercury goes Direct. Should you be urged to grow your roots deeper in the intimacy department, a super charged energy is at your fingertips for regeneration and focus here! A core transformation comes through when you spend time in solitude that you didn’t have planned.

Gemini: You love the act of relating Mini Gem, and there is an intense draw to those who are closest to you now. Should your partnerships see flare-ups, this is a fabulous time to weigh the pros and cons of the situation. Deny the argument and kill ‘em with kindness: a truly magical formula that unites a many things, and do look forward to new beginnings here as 2012 unfolds which bond with your groups and organizations to find unusual ways to break though with honoring your hopes and dreams.

Cancer: Your gut is spot on in telling you to embark on new routines, personal habits, and improvements to your health, so strongly grab hold of these ideas with those claws! As you re-examine your means of service to others, should people be acting crazy in the work place- find a way to make them feel right at home. Innovation and originality wish to unfold within your career and public life. How about a new pet? They’ll manifest soon- or enjoy time with those you already have.

Leo: There’s nothing to stop you Royal Lions from socializing! It’s time to engage in a fresh creative adventure, one that will capture your attention for months to come. Meanwhile, Mercury also recommends returning to an unfinished project for equal satisfaction. Any children, or “brain children” require your focus. Love affairs of new and old flirt with you, easily moving on to a higher level later. As you think about how all this is changing your original beliefs, you’ll learn something astonishing.

Virgo: Don’t be shy about what needs to start anew within your home and family life. Domesticated life is where you serve best right now, just steer clear of The Messengers’ miscommunications here! Don’t doubt that déjà vu -listen closely to the instinct you hear from within- as its’ message is of karmic importance. What is changing on your home front has much to do with your wealth and core transformations, whereby an out of the blue legacy may inspire a sudden emergence of rebirth.

Libra: New ways of thinking are ready for you to embrace them in the months ahead. Intellectually there are opportunities to aid in balancing the mentality, but of course let Mercury’s review do its’ reflective work first. Your neighbors or siblings may tip your Scales to learn from them- apply patience along with listening here. As the lover of peace, your challenge is to seek to better understand what’s coming at you unexpectedly within your close partnerships, and let this bring calm to your mind.

Scorpio: New and necessary changes will be seen within your value system, further resulting in an upcoming adjustment of your earning power. Look at your possessions, you’ll know by 2012 when to acquire something new that feels totally worth it. With Mercury reviewing here at present, communications can stir up thoughts to clean-up principles, aiming them in totally different directions. All this nicely ties in with the innovative ways you are finding that you can be of service to others.

Sagittarius: The light shines upon your approaches to become anew Dear Archer, but slow down please to catch the energies that will be of great benefit to you now. You are wise to take a patient pace with The Messenger’s presence up front and center- so you can reflect on that new mask you’ll be wearing for 2012. As the world is eager to see this unveiling, it is even more thrilled to see what alignment your creative juices are going to invent next, originating from beyond your normal ideals.

Capricorn: The inner layers of your psyche and the unknown await your toil. Subconscious urges shift your focus from perfection to work on the most hidden parts of yourself. Best you refrain from overtime right now and really listen. Be silent. Pay attention to your dreams. Hear the opportunity to find a new enthusiasm that works well to lift your soul? You’ll find this strongly connects with your sense of security at home, which is improving amongst the sudden changes you have been seeing.

Aquarius: Be friendly to the energy wishing to bless your friendships and organizations. Set new goals in your groups, which find fresh ways for your hopes and dreams to embrace new life. Go without resistance on that spontaneous invitation to socialize- it’s a fantastic door to an aspiring adventure of future importance. Should a friend have to be released under Mercury’s reflection, you’ll survive. All streams from here let you think more clearly, originally and eccentrically than ever before.

Pisces: The Fishes find themselves swimming with lively currents concerning career matters right now, and there is a new spark that allows all to move forward once Mercury is looking where he is going. News you’ve been waiting for in regards to your purpose, mission, and reputation will have you feeling totally charged up. Tie this in with knowing there is an innovative way your earning power is meant to dynamically change, and your public life will ride the biggest wave of inspiration in 2012.

Minding Mercury REtrograde in The Archer’s Aims

“As one, one, always one.
So what do I have to do to get you
to admit who is speaking?
Admit it and change everything!
This is your own voice echoing off the walls of God.”
~Rumi

Rx Begins: 2:19am EST 24 November @ 20 degrees Sag
Direct: 8:43pm EST 13 December @ 03 degrees Sag
Approach: Began 04 November-
The last day Mercury was at 03 deg Sagittarius
Shadow: Ends 01 January 2012-
The next time Mercury reaches 20 deg Sagittarius going Direct

First things first. It’s time for us all to remove our “fears” that are typically associated with this planetary transit. When approached with the right attitude, the very REwards from a Mercury REtrograde are ones that we are not meant to miss.

“Remember that planets do not “cause” anything. If instead we go back to the idea of “as above, so below” and think once more of a stage on which the planets are moving, then the times that Mercury, the master communicator and trickster, walks backward are simply extra tricky times. After all, the image of the jester walking backwards is suspicious, to say the least. What is he up to now? What is he backing away from? The already slippery nature of Mercury is even trickier to pin down during his retrograde days. During such days, he demands that we pay extra special attention to mercurial things. We can ignore this and be tricked and bamboozled. Mercury takes great pleasure in the fact that either way we are dealing with Mercury, voluntarily, or involuntarily.” ~Laurence Hillman, ‘Planets in Play’

Like sleep, this passage offers the proper time within our planetary cycles to recharge ourselves. Without these needed times the Universe schedules for redoing, reorganizing, and reflection- the collective would not move forward optimally. Being Mercury is the keeper of our thinking, mentality, communications and movement of all kinds, it is this part of ourselves that deserves a “tune-up.” (aside from any your car may request a repair for over this time 😉

By choosing to resist the changes that a transit like Mercury Retrograde presents for us, then that “scary” energy of The Messenger undoubtedly will happily find us toying with the tricks he plays. Your free will decides upon this “fate.” The key to achieving success under any Mercury Retrograde Period is to expect change, and embrace it. Knowing like attracts like, those that choose to become aggravated and frustrated by The Trickster over this passage, willingly jump on their own chaos train. Mercury doesn’t “do this” to anyone.

This time Mercury has picked Sagittarius to bring forth the necessary RE’s of REtrograde that are well advised to follow as we weather The Messengers’ final backwards journey of 2011. The IDEAS that come to you under your reflective time are meant to be a huge part of the REwards that aim in your life as AIDES.

With Sagittarius being the sign of perspective, honesty, optimism, and expansion- these are the virtues we are meant to adhere to the most as we gravitate to the actions of: REdoing, REpairing, REassessing, REading, REvisiting, REjoicing, REaligning, REsting, REviewing, and by all means RElaxing!

As we accept Mercury’s request for reflection, REsponding vs. REacting is the key to finding REward during this passage. There will be buzzes of changes that will undoubtedly occur while this Retrograde plays out. Especially while The Messenger is backtracking in the mutable fire sign that Sagittarius is, the potential for energy to spin out of control is high to occur. While we are wise to avoid important decisions and initiations for future success at this time, our activity and behavior while in REassessment is imperative.

Look to the 03 deg to 20 degree Sagittarius piece of your personal Zodiac Pie to see where reflection urges to find you under this upcoming passage. Remember as well…

The DO’s & DON’TS of Mercury REtrograde…

DO:
REmain Calm!
Expect CHANGE: in your plans, travel, routines, & schedules to occur suddenly
Give yourself extra time to get where you’re going
REvisit unfinished projects and our past
Have Plan B, C, and possibly D REady at all times
Spend time in the RE’s: RElax, REvisit, REflect, REdo, REcharge!
Gravitate to REsponding vs. REacting!

DON’T:
“Freak out” when changes come up
Rush: speaking, driving, doing anything involving movement!
Sign important documents
Initiate anything new

Keep in mind, those events and situations that have occurred since 04 November- fall under the approach of this Retrograde. We tend to start to see the things that will undergo reassessment emerge over these couple weeks, in the specific areas of your life noted above. Equally before the shadow completes upon 01 January 2012, you will see further opportunities for final adjustments that need to be made from all action occurring within the retrograde period.

Another star secrets “tid-bit” from Numerology is able help us handle our understanding of Mercury Retrograde through its’ Name Expression, which calculates to a 13, that of ‘REgeneration – Change.’ Said the Chaldeans of this number that equally tells us to expect the unexpected: “13 is not an unlucky number, as many people believe. The ancients claimed that he who understands how to use the number 13 will be given power and dominion. The symbol of the 13 is a skeleton, or death, with a scythe, reaping down men in a field of new-grown grass, where young faces and heads appear to be thrusting through the ground and emerging on all sides. 13 is a number of upheaval, so that new ground may be broken. It’s associated with power, which, if used for selfish purposes, will bring destruction upon itself. There is a warning of the unknown and the unexpected. Adapting to change gracefully will bring out the strength of the 13 vibration, and decrease any potential for the negative. 13 is associated with genius- also with explorers, breaking the orthodox and new discoveries of all kinds.”

As always the uncanny power of Lexigrams is also here to REmind you how to best find ease under this passage. There is an important tale for every sign to hear that is told as we poetically phrase the anagrams found within the very title of Mercury Retrograde:

MERCURY RETROGRADE

DAY TO DAY, GREET YOUR URGE TODAY:
GOT TO REDO, GOT TO RETRACE
GOT TO REROUTE YOUR GAME
GOT TO RECREATE TO REORDER
GOT TO RE-EDUCATE
GOT TO GO TO A GREAT ART
GO TO A GREAT COMEDY
GO REDECORATE
GO READ, TRY A REREAD
GO DO YOGA
GO EMERGE, RECORD A RARE DREAM
GO MEET A TAME COURAGE
GOT TO REDUCE OUR TERROR
GOT TO REDUCE A RUMOR
GO TO REGARD TO REDUCE A REGRET
GO! TRY TO AGREE- GO TO A TRUCE
GO MEET A TRUE EGO CURE: TRADE OUTRAGE TO GRACE
TRADE OUTRAGE TO A COURAGE REMEDY
GO TO A MERCY TO CURE A GREEDY EGO
GO GREET A MORE MATURE AREA
GOT TO A REMOTE AREA TO MEET A GREAT REMEDY
GO TO A GOD- ADORE YOU!

Even though we are now amidst the merry buzz of another Holiday Season, there is priceless value in just simply going along with the course that change can naturally takes us. What area of the life will you witness these RE’s to occur? Here is a handy guide from the collective perspective to guide you in making the most of this Universal gift of REflection. Taking time to ponder REview in this area of the life will be time well spent and unwrap the true blessings that can be found. Should you know your Rising Sign/Ascendant, especially check-in with your natal chart to see the area of life 03 to 20 deg Sagittarius equally REquires your attention.

Aries: How I Believe in Higher Education/Philosophy/Wisdom
Taurus: How I Transform Wealth/Death & Rebirth/Sexuality
Gemini: How I Relate to Partnerships/Marriage
Cancer: How I Serve Health/Service to Others
Leo: How I Create my Creativity/Children/Love Affairs
Virgo: How I Nurture the Home/Family/Environments
Libra: How I Communicate my Thinking/Mentality
Scorpio: How I Have Values/Earning Power
Sagittarius: How I Am with First Impressions/Approaches/Mask to the World
Capricorn: How I Process my Inner World/Subconscious

So, My Dear Stars, it’s time to RElease your fears and become friends with Mercury Retrograde. REmember to be in PATIENCE with yourself with a little I TAP IN AN ANCIENT PEACE PACE, which will ideally manifest as you choose a Sagittarian true honest LISTEN: I SIT IN SILENT TIES IN TEN- 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 TEN, I ENLIST IT.

Happy REflective Mercury REtrograde trails to you! More to come on how your Lunar-O-Scope for the upcoming New Moon and Solar Eclipse in Sagittarius all tie into The Messengers energies, so stay tuned!

Mars enters Virgo
10 November
11:15pm EST

Are you ready for some action where The Virgin is of service within your Zodiac Pie? You will now be seeing quite a bit of activity in this area of the life. What makes this passage a bit different that any regular Mars transit which normally last about 7 weeks, is that, our motivating planet will not leave this sign until 03 July 2012.

Remember all the collective changes that unfolded from Saturn’s visit here in 2007 throughout the fall of 2010? It’s time for Mars with his penetrating energy to make things truly take up with dynamic activity that will bring more conclusions to the situations Saturn requested we pay closer attention to over this period. Knowing the economic implications and realizations that drummed up alone- if you thought this time has passed and was never to return, think again. There are a many completions and endings to what we know and are comfortable with that still await to unravel.

Why will Mars be journeying so long with The Virgin? As he reaches the 23rd degree of Virgo, upon 23 January 2012, we’ll then be witnessing another Mars Retrograde that will last until 13 April 2012 at 03 degrees Virgo. The last time we saw Mars not looking where he was going was back over the Winter of 2010.

So here we are, as we turn into the “infamous 2012” date upon the upcoming Universal New Year, with Mars asking for our further examination of those details within our lives as he takes up time within the sign that loves to audit, discriminate and fuss about everything. Being Virgo is the sign that equally loves to be well-mannered and of service, when this focus is chosen, the rewards of this passage are all the more easily found.

Mars is known as the warrior planet, and wherever he is within the Zodiac sky, we are wise to apply patience to this area of the life down here below. Mars also brings forth conclusions and finalizations, so these too, can be more than expected. So, while in Virgo, tests will be placed here to see how well one handles situations of conflict. As always, responding with courage verses reacting in aggressive action will bring calm to what is meant to change in this area of the life.

There is a collective calling to apply disciplined energy to all that Mars logically will select for us to bring more efficiency and practicality to within our methods of desire. One thing that will be strongly felt over this passage is the request for simplification and further organization of what Saturn already requested we take responsible note of here from 2007 to 2010.

So, what about you? Just where will you see this intense passage bring inevitable change to your life? A quick guide from the collective vantage point will show one affect from this longer than normal Mars transit. Remember too, if you know your Ascendant (Rising sign) this too will apply to your natal chart. However, it is always the professional analysis of your natal chart that will exactly determine how any current transit is personally requesting your attention to better know thyself.

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

More to come on the 23 January on how to ideally handle Mars Retrograde in Virgo 2012. In the meantime, take extra pause where Virgo politely requests you to slow down, and listen to what wishes to become more motivated here. With any activity from Mars, if we don’t take that time to be silent, we will miss tremendous opportunity to reap the proper changes within our lives, which will be urged to unfold quickly. Namaste, Dear Ones.

A Quick Word on The Mystic….

Neptune goes Direct in Aquarius, 28degrees
1:54pm EST, 09 November

The Mystic now completes its’ last Retrograde period in Aquarius that will be seen within any living beings’ lifetime. As we all have collectively adhered to reflecting upon our love of independence since early June, we’ve equally seen more than a fair share of social, political, and philosophical stimuli within our humanitarian ideals. We’ve got a few months left to tap into the power to truly theorize what has been available to the collective since late November 1998. As Neptune has journeyed with The Water Bearer, the strength to invent innovative improvements for society has been available to us. Surely no one can deny that some of the greatest and fastest developments in technology have been seen over these years. What has become the standard of the internet alone speaks for itself, as well as the multitudes of gadgets that make our lives seemingly more connected than ever before.

Yet, true to Aquarius fashion, in as much as we have magically developed the ability to outsmart ourselves with the latest technological advancement, all of them have allowed people to sway to becoming more detached from being personally present. From the endless list involving things like emails, self retail check-outs, on-line banking, text messages, computerized everything to the phenomena of Facebook -that personal touch life once used to have- has certainly lost its’ luster.

Some may argue that we are blessed to have such fancy abilities that allow man to be all the more ground-breaking. While it is a marvel the ways we exist and relate in our modern day world, so much has gone astray in genuine originality within the methods we can be friendly to society at large. Knowing Neptune is the planet that represents delusion, one might also argue that we are quite off course from even knowing ourselves anymore because of the myriad of sophisticated ways our current society operates on a routine basis.

So we have until February 2012 to move forward in the last moments of Neptune in Aquarius. How can we take a closer look and conclude how the last 13 yrs have changed us? What do you appreciate about it and what do you believe shouldn’t continue for the survival of what humanity ideally represents? Remember, Neptune in Aquarius urges everyone to call upon your love of individualism. We may just have to put down our cell phones and sign off of Facebook to figure it out.

With a returning home to Pisces in early February 2012, our planet of dreams and all that is unseen will not return to Aquarius again until 2162. Before The Mystic joins up for a long swim with the Fishes, we are wise to take this remaining time to draw upon our love of independence. By recognizing what is of value within these past years that we can take with us, we will be ultimately ready to become responsive to the call of mass emotions and the suffering of humanity that Neptune in Pisces will present to us all.

LUNAR-O-SCOPE, FULL MOON in TAURUS, 2011

LUNAR-O-SCOPE
FULL Moon in Taurus,
10 November

Releasing from the Core

It’s that time of the year to welcome a release of energy in the Taurus area of your life! The opportunity to uproot what is no longer necessary in your Taurus piece of the Zodiac Pie is ready to be part of your Autumn clean-up. Just where in your life will this determined and persistent instinct wane throughout 24 November?

Moon enters Taurus
Wednesday 09 November, 2:45am EST to Friday 11 November, 3:10pm EST
Opportunity is knocking at the collective’s door at this time of the month when our emotions enter reflection mode. When our Full Moon embarks in the practical and patience energies of Taurus -the sign that consciously aims for security- we are now ready to allow an enduring and resourceful spirit to guide our “digging up” of what is best to clear where the Bull fixes things within our lives. Fixed Earth is Taurus’s elemental influence, so look to this passage to allow feelings to uproot, and change the grounding force that may no longer be working optimally.

Emotions under Taurus must beware of dogged, materialistic, lethargic, and obstinate behaviors that may arise. When any possessive energies are around, it is easy to gravitate to unimaginative and reactionary tendencies. While a strong sense of values and patience mark any journey with The Bull; the cultivation of enterprise, adaptability, and vision are always wise to adhere to.

Full Moon, 10 November, 3:16pm EST, 18 degrees Taurus
This offering from Taurus brings forth deep, intuitive, and sensuous feelings as our Lunar Light takes a stance with The Bull. Be sure to check the house, in particular the 18-degree Taurus spot, in your natal birth chart to see where a release of energy is ideally meant to unfold. This is the area of life that requests the proper reflection in the next two weeks to follow. What you let go of within in this section of your Zodiac pie until the next New Moon and Solar Eclipse upon 24 November makes the necessary space for new things to come in the future.

For the Collective
This is the 2nd Full Moon that offers us release at the 18th degree, as the next 4 more to follow until we reach the Full Moon in Virgo in 2012, all will peak at the 18th degree of their sign. We touched upon last month how 18 represents conclusions and endings. Being in the know that Mars, The Finalizer, guides any 9 vibration, the gravitation to courage over conflict will allow successes to occur here. Looking to the 18’s ‘Spiritual – Material Conflict’ as the Chaldeans’ so deeply understood about this cipher, this series of Full Moon passages is sending the message home to humanity loud and perfectly clear that materialism is not to be adhered to. Being ultimately in touch with whatever form of spiritually serves you is how aggressive action can be avoided.

A valuable lesson here within Taurus unfolds by adhering to PATIENCE: I TAP IN AN ANCIENT PEACE PACE. Remember too, Jupiter is also in Taurus, but much earlier on wherever The Bull rests in your Zodiac Pie, currently retrograding at 03 degrees. While nowhere near a conjunction, certainly the jovial Philosopher still casts a happy tone to allow your releases to be fulfilled.

Lunar-O-Scope, Full Moon in Taurus, 10 November 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: You’ll be in the mood to direct yourself to a change within your sense of values as you take stock of your personal possessions. How you earn your dollars may fluctuate. A worn-out sense of security is ready to release, so feel free to make positive choices here now- tossing out the unnecessary material in the home is ideal. An impulsive purchase is wise if it is at a bargain price- but make sure it serves a practical purpose in grounding your fire a bit.

Taurus: It’s your month steady Bull to release an old worn out mask you wear. Some tired and weary approaches wish for you to un-earthen your roots to them. We know you like slower changes, but right now, don’t resist the release of energy wishing to find you! Avoid surgery over these dates, and take time to focus upon you, as this is the perfect time to re-activate the self. The ways you take in those first impressions also ask you for your patience and reflection now.

Gemini: It may not seem logical for both sides of you, but it is time to unite the energies within those unseen places and deeper ideas in your life. The spiritual, subconscious realms, and the psychological make-ups of life call for you to quiet your chatty self, so you can relinquish what is necessary from the past. What value you’ll discover uniting within this inner security, and pay extra close attention to your dreams, they have important meaning to your waking world.

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

Leo: Time to redefine what harvest, stability, and reward really mean to you within your career and public life. Completion is ready to emerge within that forest you reign so well Lion. Equally, this is a prominent time to reflect upon the promotion or start of a new business. A nice recognition can come your way if you’ve done your proper legwork to receive it. Reconsider a reformed view within your take on authority that you have not been responsible to up till now.

Virgo: Inspiration fuels where you reflect upon your philosophies and your beliefs. Feel that urge to take a trip Virgin? You may now reflect upon ones you’ve recently had, or how you can make plans for more perfect ones in the future. Reconsider ways to broaden your view of the world at large. As you equally revisit adventures that engage your expansion, renewed educational pursuits make the perfect space to serve your traveling and adventurous aims for the long-term.

Libra: While you always weigh the pros and cons, now these focus upon your securities and investments. Now is the ideal time to reflect upon future decisions to be made about any changes here. The doors are open to review the transformations that desire completion, as the feelings to embark upon rebirth strongly find you. With your innate beauty and charm, enjoy the passion in being friendly to those sexy feelings- just remember to be patient when taking action!

Scorpio: Your partnerships- romantic or business, are where your probing abilities research the truth of the matter now. You’ve been already wondering what should stay or go here, and now is the time to make the space that is required. The people you reflect upon over this waning period are of special importance to the successes of your future endeavors. You’ll find more mysteries will be unraveled, as your sense of security about those you are closest to gets a refresher.

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

Capricorn: While you always enjoy an ambitious pursuit, your creative nature now desires your full attention for this request to release Old Goat. Perfection is never too far away, and this energy now watches over whatever your current project involves, asking that you reassess your inspired ideas. Playful feelings surround you, especially those involving children. “Brain children” or your offspring captivate your reflection. A renewed passion here awaits to take center-stage.

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

Pisces: The waters your mentality and thinking swim in Dear Fishes now find some recycle time, as these are ready to absorb some review like a sponge. That short trip you recently went on lingers in the mind, and thoughts float off to one that could be even more satisfying! Your intuition takes a needed rest here reassessing the realms of your communications, and reveals what logically should not remain rooted in your life. Siblings or neighbors capture attention too.

Word Ponder: OCCUPY WITHIN

Posted on by

0

“The goal of any esoteric work must be that of objectivity, first in our understanding of ourselves, and then, as out filters and programs are dislodged, of the world. A true esoteric teaching will, there fore, not only focus on “Know Thyself,” but will also provide knowledge about the reality of our reality. If one or the other of these aspects are missing from a teaching, then you can be certain that it is incomplete, and in an incomplete teaching, even if through ignorance of the teacher, even if unconscious, is dangerous.” ~Henry See

Are you tired of hearing the word OCCUPY yet?

Seems humanity, as usual is on the wrong course to find a true and genuine peace of mind. Here we go again with the seeking to improve from the outside.

In the buzzing world we all exist within, with the instant now this and can’t update it fast enough that, (you know the one where you never feel like you can even keep up anymore?), now we have the epidemic of further occupying what is outside of ourselves in some bizarre attempt to amend and make things right.

But really, what is being accomplished by all the “occupy overload“ people are drumming up these days? Do we really feel any kind of satisfaction or sense of resolution from any of them? Aside from more than likely a rise in blood pressure for most, is this some kind of change we can really believe in?

Going back to the concept of “As Above, So Below,” and how this leads to “Know Thyself,” there couldn’t be more truth and validity within these phrases than ever before. Those powerful planets above always have a wise channel for us to learn from down here below. From your astrological, numerological to the wonders awaiting within your Lexigrams, taking a good look inside is the only way change will happen optimally.

Looking to the Name Expression (the numerological vibration that guides it by calculating the value of its’ letters) of ‘Occupy Within,’ as always, there is valuable insight for us to listen to. When one may stop occupying everything outside of themselves and go within, there is definitely some magic that can unfold. When you have a Name Expression of the 23’s ‘The Royal Star of the Lion,’ not only is there is plenty of protection around, but the ability to achieve success is more often than not the welcomed outcome.

Said the Chaldean’s of the 23: “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.”

So, forget about occupying Wall Street, and every other place in the world to start making change. With the 23, you’ve also got the singular energy of the 5 to aide in presenting Mercury’s gift of movement and change amongst the masses. When you ‘Occupy Within’ you’ll create the personal platform so you can ideally handle any outside alteration that wishes to come your way. As we equally take in the wisdom of Lexigrams -the poetic phrasing of the anagrams found from any name, word or in this case, title- how interesting that we learn: the process all does start with YOU.

Venus and Mercury enter Sagittarius 02 November

A quick word on The Idealist
and The Messenger….

02 NOV
Venus enters Sagittarius 4:51am EDT

Mercury enters Sagittarius 12:54pm EDT

The Lover of Harmony and Mr. Messenger are now hand in hand where The Archer aims in your Zodiac Pie! After all the recent stirring up to achieve balance where Scorpio intensifies within our lives, it’s time to allow some movement and value-oriented energies to visit where all the mutability of jovial Sagittarius brings optimism and good fortune to your life.

Collectively, Sagittarius is gearing up for a Solar Eclipse that kicks off the day after Thanksgiving in the USA, 25 November. Looking back to the last Lunar Eclipse here upon the 15 June 2011, the opportunity to release over these past months to make way for space to be reopened here has been unfolding ever since. What will be a little tricky about the new beginnings to come in Sagittarius, is that The Messenger will have just entered its’ final Retrograde Passage of 2011 upon Thanksgiving Day. Knowing Solar Eclipses trigger a long-term period of fresh starts, once Mercury’s Shadow officially concludes upon 01 Jan 2012, this is when you’ll really start to see them optimally move forward, right in time for ringing in the Universal New Year.

While Venus and Mercury stay close together to grow where The Archer flourishes philosophy and belief within our lives, much freedom and exploration is seen to communicate with us. As Venus places our affections in impulsive, sincere and adventurous scenarios; guarding against superficiality, precocious or fickle reactions is highly recommended. Mercury engages our mentalities to try on independent, aspiring, and versatile ways of thinking; while equally avoiding opportunist, garrulous or argumentative methods of expression are wise choices to make.

Be cautious as well to sense the possible lack of reflection, continuity, or judgment in this area of the life, as the mutable fire nature of Sagittarius is well know to burn itself out of control. Harmony can be found by adhering to honesty, tapping into generosity, and remaining in the mindset that you glass is half full in this area of the life.

Till Mercury goes Retrograde, enjoy what springs up anew within the aims of The Archer. Be aware after the Approach begins 04 November, what transpires over this time will see it’s fair share of reflection, change and review from 24 November throughout 13 December.

Word Ponder: GRATITUDE

Gratitude11

“Gratitude is the vessel that we lift to the Gods that they may fill it with their wonder-gifts. If in all earnestness we foster the feeling of thankfulness, then gratitude, living devotion must be there to the invisible spiritual givers of life; and it is the most beautiful way to be led from one’s personality to the supersensible if this guidance goes through gratitude. Gratitude ultimately brings us to veneration and love of live-bestowing spirit of man. It gives birth to love, and love makes the heart open for the spirit-powers pervading life. If, after every meditation, we arouse in ourselves the feeling of gratefulness and reverence -a feeling that we can call a mood of prayer- and be aware in what grace we are taking part, we shall realize that we are on the right path for spiritual worlds to approach us.”
~Rudolf Steiner, Guidance in Esoteric Training

Sometimes, one just has to be in complete appreciation how the Universe truly does hold the wisdom in separate pieces for us all to put together. After all, if we didn’t have puzzles to figure out in life, how in the world would we ever learn anything? Rudolf Steiner mentions, after we spend time in a form of meditation, just how beneficial it is for us to leave that practice with the sense and awareness of what gratitude means within our lives for our spiritual paths to become more fulfilled.

So too do the Chaldeans -when looking to the very same word gratitude- understand that the energy behind it requests a soul to not only spend some time in meditation, but with the self in solitude to bring out those ideas that will more often than not, have a profound affect upon the world around them.

Looking at the Name Expression (the numerical value of all the letters composing a word or name) of gratitude, we have the Chaldean Karmic Mystery of the 30, the concept of  Loner- Meditation. Anyone who knows about Steiner’s teachings, knows he was an incredibly spiritually-oriented soul in multitudes of ways. While Steiner did not directly study Chaldean Numerology, he intuitively understood the energy that surrounds gratitude in a very similar way, as the 30’s meaning states:

“This is a number of retrospection, thoughtful deduction, and mental superiority over others. However, it belongs completely to the mental plane, and those represented by it often put all material things to the side, not because they have to, but because they wish to do so. The vibration of the 30 can be all-powerful, but it is often indifferent, according to the will of the entity it reflects. The energy tends to favor taciturn loners, those preferring to be alone with their own thoughts. The 30 will indulge in the experiences that life has to offer, but also desire to retreat from society as well when needed. 30 doesn’t deny happiness or success, but fulfillment is more often found in retreating from the chaos of the market place, so that one’s mental superiority may be used to develop something worthwhile to the world and to write ideas which may change the world and or to protect and develop one’s personal talents, such as art or other gifts. It indicates a lonely, yet frequently rewarding life pattern.” 

So, as we take time to retreat and partake in gratitude, this seemingly small action can truly have one of the biggest affects upon our lives. Even as one opens up to the idea that the act of gratitude creates more love, remember the Word Ponder: Love from 28 Feb 2010 that talks all about how that amore can grant tremendous benefit to any life. Funny, both gratitude and love are different vibrations of the 3: 30 and 21. Both are backed up by The Philosopher planet Jupiter- that jovial, generous, seeking to learn and always aiming to please energy most people prefer to believe in.

As always, the mysteries of Lexigrams provide us with a last piece of star secrets advice about the great word gratitude. By taking the anagrams we can derive from within it, and phrasing them like poetry or prose, we find out some more interesting insight about how we can be all the more victorious within our spiritual lives. Certainly, Rudolf Steiner would more than likely agree gratitude speaks with an uncanny wisdom that we can all truly be grateful for.

Core Renewals

This New Moon in Scorpio brings our collective focus to acute instincts and intense imagination involving our core, as The Eagles innate gift of gaining scope within the life soars amongst us. The path of this Lunar beginning encourages the gathering of magnetic, determined, and regenerative feelings throughout this 2nd Waxing Phase of Autumn through 11 November.

Moon enters Scorpio
Wednesday 26 October, 11:08am EDT til Friday, 28 October, 10:45am EDT

With any New Moon occurring in a water sign, our emotions have all the more tendency to become a powerful force over us. This month, as the Sun reaches Scorpio at 3 degrees (representing idealism, philosophy and higher education), the Scorpio Moon equally asks that we take this time to embark upon new beginnings through our emotional take on transformation and self-control, as she kicks off some true aiming initiations within this piece of any Zodiac Pie.

New Moon, 26 October, 3:56pm EDT, 03 degrees Scorpio

Be open to the request of our New Moon in Scorpio. This is a collective calling to unlock some new energies concerning our determination, sensitivities, and power to investigate. Intense feelings and the capacity for reliving past experiences are strong. Be aware however of stinging, self-tormenting, and defiant reactions. However your free-will wishes to accept this captivating force, gravitating to honesty will bring out your greatest rewards to come.

For the Collective

We’ve all already seen some stirs of communications backed up by the optimal outcome of harmony being brought to the Scorpio area of the life, as Mercury and Venus are equally in transit here paving the way since mid October. Now, as we gather once more, it is favored to take time to further our fresh starts where The Eagle’s eye captures the scope of life. Look to where 05 degrees Capricorn is toiling within the Zodiac Pie, as Pluto makes a nice co-operative power to this New Moon. Jupiter, Retrograding at 05 degrees Taurus, in close opposition to this lunation, requests that we find a fortunate integration between these opposite areas of our lives. All will prepare us for the next release as we gain in this esoteric light till release unfolds in Taurus upon 11 November.
