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.

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.

New Moon in Capricorn

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, NEW Moon in Capricorn 2011
For the collective horoscope, again we offer advice for every sign from the outer vantage point.

Aries: While you may feel like playing like a kid, it’s time you think about some fresh starts in the career, which are further blessed by your earning power at present.

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. With all the self-renewal you’ve been working on the world is innately curious to see the completed new mask you are ready to unveil.

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. How you view your relationship to authority also requests that you take in some reflective time that you’ve not been responsible to up till now. 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? You’ll find there are people you have been connected with that will not remain in the future picture. 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.

Lexigrams and a Lunar Eclipse
One MORE piece of fun star secret advice comes from the mighty Lexigrams that the title of LUNAR ECLIPSE bestows upon us. As we poetically phrase the anagrams we can derive from within, what wonders will cast their reflective unites this particular lunation wishes for us all to embrace.

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?

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

A Quick Word on The Pioneer….

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

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.

FULL Moon in Taurus,

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.

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.

Mercury enters Scorpio, 13 October

a quick word on The Messenger…

Mercury enters Scorpio
6:52am EDT 13 October through 02 November

It’s time for secrets to be revealed and the truth to be told where The Eagle soars within your Zodiac Pie. Expect plenty of activity, communication, and even the sense of a dual force that has you doing more than one thing at a time in this area of the life. Whatever may be latent here, now sees some real movement to enliven it.

While journeying through Scorpio, Mercury is apt to stir up the depths of the unknown and profound events for us all to find some fascination with. Just in time for the tail end of the USA’s election season, if there are any lingering skeletons in those political closets, they’ll definitely be revealed now.

If jealousy, suspicion or obsession fuels mentalities, expect some Scorpion sting repercussions to unfold. Leave the brooding behind, and take on a passionate attitude towards getting to the bottom of any mystery in your life. Investigation and digging for the ultimate truth is highly favored for this transit.

What may save this passage from digging up too much trouble, is the energy of Venus, who always is just within a few degrees -or Zodiac steps if you will- of The Messenger the entire time, til they both enter Sagittarius upon 02 November. So, while Mercury will stir up changes within this area of the life, rest assured: Venus is paving the path of warmth and harmony if you choose to take up with her gifts of pleasantry. Being she tends to enjoy some financial gains, these very well may speak to you here now.

As always, a few words to the Lexigram wise on the intense energy of:

MERCURY IN SCORPIO

PROMISE ME YOU RISE IN SUPERIOR MERCY
YES, I CURE SCORN IN CORE OPEN COMPOSURE
I’M PRECIOUS IN PURE INSPIRE CURES
I’M POISON, I’M IN RUINS IN CYNICISM
PROMISE ME YOU CONSPIRE IN COMPRISE
COMPOSE MORE IN ONE CONCISE SUPER CORE SOURCE

WHAT hidden power with these words do YOU SEE?
Spiral on, My Dear Stars!
