As we honor our emotions, we can make them powerful allies in our lives- verses ignoring the truth, missing our opportunities, and neglecting to heal whatever they ask us to focus on.

Each month, a New Moon opens a waxing phase of initiating energy favoring creation until we reach the Full Moon, then opening up a waning phase allowing for natural correction, reflection and release. LunarOScopes capture these cycles’ forecasts, noting when beginnings or conclusions are favored, pointing to the specific area of life our Sun Sign benefits as we place our mindful intentions upon them.

*This waning phases aligns with the reflection requests from Mercury Retrograde in Aries, 22 March to 15 April.* Mercury Retrograde (MRx) asks us to take pause within matters associated with communications, transferring of information, thinking, movement, travel, future plans, along with any new initiations intended for long term success.

Springs’ first Full Moon will be more than “lit up like a light bulb.” It is always an intense energetic unfolding when our Moon -especially a full one- and Mercury Rx are ever diametrically opposed. The reflective requests of MRx become more forceful, and as our cycle of reflection continues through the entire waning phase until 15 April, this opposition really kicks everything up a whole other notch.

Equally in play under this Libra Full Moon is how it also involves the planetary conversation Mercury Rx is already having with Saturn and Mars, which are in a square to Aries coming from Capricorn. Once again, there is not enough forewarning that this particular Mercury Rx will vehemently change a many things concerning not only how we choose to engage leadership within our personal lives- and equally what anyone will witness concerning those in power and authority positions within the global scope of life as well. This Full Moon is an important part of what needs to be cleared away as well under the MRx requests.

Falling resistance to change is a very strong theme for this particular MRx cycle. The soul work we are required to do, nor some of the natural changes we will have to make are not going to be necessarily easy. However, there is a profound and far deeper understanding in play that takes all the things out of the equation of life we truly no longer need to be fooling ourselves about. Turning resistance around to being responsible to the self without being selfish is the positive theme anyone should embrace.

Existing structures pertaining to the cardinal energies –as we view Libra, Capricorn and Aries- will be ask to redefine themselves and get serious about what it is that is the most practical replacements to rebirth new structures with. Power struggles are also a strong part of this Full Moon, so be sure to avoid them, and leave your ego at the door.

Full Moon & Lunar Eclipse in Scorpio, 25 April

Rerooting Responsible Sensations

This Full Moon in Scorpio brings the collective focus to a pure request to remain in the eye of the practice of patience to allow our core to be replanted as another reflective passage begins. The path of this Lunar peak is the first full lunation since Saturn entered Scorpio last fall, and equally brings forth conclusions to last November initiations presented under the Solar Eclipse from November 2012. Should we resist -choosing not to listen to the voice within- the regenerative force of Scorpio will surface hard-bitten verses self-reliant feelings throughout this Waning Phase until 09 May.

Moon enters Scorpio
6:25am EDT, 25 April to 7:32am EDT 27 April
Anytime our Moon is transiting in a water sign, our emotions have all the more tendency to become a powerful force over us. As our Lunar Lady soars with The Eagle, this precisely asks for examination of our core. As we filter our emotions in regards to transformation and self-control, we are able to bring forth an acute instinct and imagination to embrace.

Moon Void of Course
4:56am EDT 26 April to 7:32am EDT 27 April
Moon VOC is the passage in where the Moon makes its’ last major aspect to a planet before entering the next sign. In essence, it is a time that is well advised to not take up in forward motion nor important decisions for the future. As our Scorpio Moon opposes Venus at 13 degrees Taurus, spending time in reflection and review is favored until it enters Sagittarius.

Full Moon, 25 April, 3:57pm EDT, 05 degrees Scorpio
Lunar Eclipse, 4:07pm EDT
This is the second request for emotional reassessments within Spring 2013. The 05 degrees Scorpio point within the personal Zodiac Pie shows where a magnetic energy is wishing to speak. The 05 requests that we pay close attention to the force of change here within our lives- for this cipher always asks for us to take up with a SILENT LISTEN to understand the communicative energies surrounding us. Coupled by the longer term affects of a Lunar Eclipse, this is the precise point of life where we will equally see a releasing of what is no longer necessary here over the months ahead as conclusions are ready to be formulated.

Matters concerning our determination, sensitivity, and power to investigate will be present. The capacity for reliving past experiences is strong, and relying on psychic energies is prominent. Be aware of stinging, self-tormenting, and defiant reactions. The urge to manipulate should be avoided. Desires will be powerful and channeling them with proper intention is essential for this regenerative force to optimally heal.

For the Collective
This lunation and eclipse make a very close conjunction to Saturn Retrograde, who is only a mere 4 degrees away at 09 degrees Scorpio. There will be no escaping the responsibilities involved with what emotional clearing will ask of each and every one of use from this area of the Zodiac Pie. A bit of mystical assistance streams from Neptune over at 04 degrees Pisces, which allows us to connect as well how these two areas of the life can open further to the sensitive, intuitive and imaginative messages that Neptune and our Lunar Lady will be more than optimistic to relate to you.

Dynamically across the way, we find Mars in opposition to our Lunar Lady at 03 degrees Taurus, who may offer up some opposing feelings to assimilate into what we are being asked to be responsible to. As the these dynamic energies within The Bull fix us further into rooting into our Springs, the balance is offered to us from how Scorpio asks for to us release and arrive at finalizations from the opposite area of the life.

Lunar-O-Scope, Full Moon in Scorpio, 25 April 2013
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. However, it is the awareness and mathematical analysis of the individual birth chart that will point to the accuracy of how the current planetary landscape affects you.

For the true astrology buffs, be sure to check the Scorpio House, in particular where the 05-degree Scorpio spot in your natal birth chart lives. (A natal birth chart is determined from the time of birth, which allows a more in-depth look to equally see where some pondering is ideally meant to unfold in how the planets uniquely affect you.) Whether the collective or individual vantage point, these are the areas of life that call for you to bring forth release and conclusions within the next two weeks to follow, and as a Lunar Eclipse promises- for up to an entire year’s time. Properly embracing letting go in these areas until the next New Moon upon 09 May will make the appropriate space for the new to be planted later.

Aries: Focus your attention and review your investments, taxes, shared/joint resources, all that I Transform. Other people’s sources of money may no longer serve you. Intense regeneration now takes you in directions you’ve never known before- exploring intimacy and the true depths of your soul. Time you spend in solitude assists in really understanding this process, and then you will equally see the value behind what you have and how to appreciate it all the more.

Taurus: Remain determined to share your feelings about those closest to you, personal or business, where I Relate. People from the past may surface, and conclusions form on who may be leaving. You reflect upon all one on one partnerships. Friends and groups are of help to translate information that allows release to be properly placed. As those approaches in your life continue to motivate changes, let them re-root you to solidarity like you’ve never known before.

Gemini: Your routine, personal habits, and health seek both sides of you to unite to regenerate where I Serve. Improvement on all levels asks to be considered relating to your service to the world. Time spent with pets is a source of healing and brings unity from the depths of your soul. The time you spend in stillness brings forth all the answers that are meant to speak and connect to how you can be allowed to then recognize how your public life and career are healing.

Cancer: That artistic adventure you’ve been responsibly putting all your imagination into looks for completion where I Create. Children may be on your mind and require your focus. Love affairs are contemplated, and you are anxious to figure out whether they are meant to become something you bring the curtain up or down upon. Allow a spiritual belief to re-educate you, which then makes sense to the excitement streaming from all of your hopes, dreams & wishes.

Leo: Heartfelt home and family concerns find release from where I Nurture. Time spent cleaning the home rejuvenates, preparing for new energies to emerge later. Balance asks to be achieved where you recharge the Lions’ lair. Déjà vu is prominent under this especially psychic full moon expressing intense and powerful messages. Transformation intuitively speaks from your core and sense of wealth, making more motivation stream from the career and public life.

Virgo: Reorganize the thoughts Dear Virgin where I Communicate. Make sure to tell DOUBT  please DO BUT OUT BUD, as the mental ponderings run deep and profound. Time in reflection to write, educate, or learn delights your need to intellectualize, but steer clear of logic taking too much of the lead. Relations with neighbors see changes. Partnerships can offer you spiritual assistance that are keen on helping you arrive at powerful new beliefs to serve you now.

Libra: Your value system asks for investigation, for it’s time to re-evaluate your securities within all that I Have. A source of earning power may see a conclusion or change. Consider parting with possessions, especially ones you are dependent upon and truly no longer need. Steer clear of impulsive purchases- find bargains. Allow your intuition to serve you in better understanding your place in being of service to the world, and you’ll find magnetic ways to increase your wealth.

Scorpio: The most reflective time of the year is upon your spotlight Eagle! New approaches and letting go of what doesn’t fit into your passionate and magnetic first impressions of the world are the mysteries awaiting your “Sherlock Holming” with all that I Am. The world is about to see you in a different way- as you have prepared patiently for this to emerge. Time spent in creativity or with children, sends an easy energy that allows your partnerships to be more peaceful.

Sagittarius: Plenty of arrows shoot off in your subconscious realms Archer, where I Process. You sense the workings of that inner world, so go further within hidden matters wishing to be resolved. Nighttime dreams equally share innate wisdom about your waking world. Allow a nurturing intuition find you by taking time alone at home, which is able to further translate how you can spice up more motivation where you serve the world and all of your routines.

Capricorn: Hold up on the toil old Goat and labor with your friendships and organizations where I Socialize. You relive experiences within the roles you’ve played in your groups. An ultimate responsibility here requires a rebirth, as traditions in this area need revitalizing. When you receive that unexpected invitation, don’t use work as an excuse not to go. You’ll equally feel some psychic streams from your thinking that give direction and drive to your creative nature.

Aquarius: The career and public life ask for reflection where I Structure. Your purpose, mission, and reputation await significant changes. Long-term projects come to fruition. Intense and passionate new life is on the horizon here- but first release unfolds as you responsibility examine your own truth. Pondering views on authority is strongly advised. Giving instinctive gratitude for what you have, allows peace to arrive where you nurture all of your environments.

Pisces: What expressions aren’t strong enough Dear Fishes where I Believe? The waters are safe for you to swim in the course of necessary clearing out here. You finish up or reflect upon a travel adventure. Even if you only take a trip in the mind- you are urged to find some real higher education that releases a worn-out philosophy. Time in that SILENT LISTEN makes for some of your first impressions to shift, which also are aided by the power of practicing positive thinking.

Word Ponder: INFINITE POSSIBILITIES

infinitepossibilitiesWhen was the last time you thought about the INFINITE POSSIBILITIES of your life? As we are now fully engaged in the initiation of Spring, there is no better time to take up in your pioneering spirit and remember just how much you can strike up the means to reap whatever it is that your free-will desires within your continual journey of the LOVE to EVOLVE.

Looking to the Name Expression of INFINITE POSSIBILITIES, we find it rings to a pure 9, which is rather apropos to examine under the current energies of Aries. The 9 and Aries energies are both guided by our motivating planet Mars, who is happy to always help you in making just about anything happen within the life. While no Chaldean Karmic Mystery governs the singular 9, it is packed with sound advice to take up in the action of courage, while avoiding penetrating, conflicting or aggressive reactions.

You do wish to call up Mars or a 9 vibration to get things going in life, and what the beauty of the 9 does is call upon The Finalizer to guarantee the task will be completed. Unlike Aries, who must learn to co-operate with others to carry out their clever ideas, a 9 energy is always seen as the closer, the powerful force behind how anything will complete and conclude within the life.

The 9 is considered a Universal Number, in where there are some fairly neat mathematical associations with it. Add all the single digits up together from 1 to 8 and you’ll arrive at 45, a vibration of the 9. If you add 9 to any number, you’ll always get the same root number, ie: 5 + 9 = 14, and 1 + 4 = 5; 8 + 9 = 17, and 1 + 7 = 8.  The same thing applies to multiplication only that you’ll always have a new vibration of the 9, ie: 5 x 9 = 45, 4 + 5 = 9; 8 x 9 = 72, and 7 + 2 = 9. The 9 can never be destroyed, and it always makes more of whatever it is linked or connected to. So, with any Name Expression involving the 9, you can be promised it is backed up and guided by a most powerful punch to assist you in whatever you are doing.

So, as we ponder the INFINITE POSSIBILITIES, we have the 9 as our guiding light to make sure what we wish to claim them to be will be happily motivated to become magnificent manifestations within our soul’s purpose.  Shift the mindset to this potent phrase as you set your intentions and goals, and you can practically be guaranteed that you will witness amazing outcomes unfold.

As always, the wisdom of Lexigrams are here to grant another piece of solid evidence that spending time in keeping our dominant thoughts within the INFINITE POSSIBILITIES is time will most certainly will never be wasting.  As we take the anagrams that can be derived from this title, and formulate them into poetry and prose, we find the letters within are ready right in front of us to once more spell out the truth.

INFINITE POSSIBILITIES

SO IT IS, IN THE NINE TIE I BE BEST TO SEE A FINE LINE TO BE ON

IN LIFE, IT IS BEST I BE IN SENSIBLE TIES IN TIP TOP BELIEFS

IN A FINITE LIFE IN OPEN TIES, I SEE NOT TO STOP BENEFITS

NEW Moon in Aries, 10 April, 5:35am EDT

The Power of Peace

As this first New Moon of Spring in Aries kicks off, it is the divine time to welcome a NEW energy where The Ram takes charge of your life! The collective’s emotions receive dynamic and poised direction in the sign that pioneers and sparks true beginnings with the assistance of motivating Mars and the gracious joys of Venus. An absolutely active and keen instinct in the next two weeks strikes up to bring profound balance back into our lives.

Moon enters Aries,
3:02pm EDT 08 April to 11:22pm EDT 10 March

As the “planet party” has now been pleasing this area of the Zodiac skies, Aries lunar energy is wise to beware of restless, challenging, militant, and disobedient forces that may arise. When self-willed energies are around, it is easy to gravitate to unbalanced, aggressive, and hasty tendencies. While a strong sense of individuality and assertiveness mark any passage within The Ram, the cultivation of moderation, patience, forethought, and humility brings success.

Moon Void of Course
12:25pm EDT to 11:22pm EDT 10 April

Moon VOC is the passage in where the Moon makes its’ last major aspect to a planet before entering the next sign. In essence, it is a time that is well advised to not take up in forward motion nor important decisions for the future. As our Aries Moon conjuncts Venus at 24 degrees Aries, spending time in reflection and review is favored until it enters Taurus.

New Moon, 10 April, 5:35am EDT, 20 degrees
This lunation in Aries brings forth a pure awakening presence as easily aroused feelings take charge with The Ram, coupled with the ability to see both sides of the issues at hand. The first New Moon since our Messenger went Direct back in March- we can now embrace this time as our emotions welcome a fresh feeling, propelling us ever forward within our Springs.

Gravitating to a true understanding of motivating peace from this powerful lunation will be vital under this first waxing period of Spring.

For the Collective
We have a most precious alignment upon this lunation from many directions to reap our emotional rewards. Looking to the 20 degree initiation point, we find the Chaldeans’ promise of The Awakening, which was also viewed as ‘The Judgment.’ “It has a peculiar interpretation, and is symbolized as “a winged angel, sounding a trumpet, while from below, a man, woman, and child are seen arising from a tomb, with their hands clasped in prayer.” At some time in the experience of the person or entity represented by the number 20, there is a powerful awakening, bringing in a new purpose, new plans, new ambitions- the call to action for some great cause or ideal. “

This New Moon is equally guided by the close conjunction of Mars and Venus, who are both at 22 and 23 degrees Aries respectively. As we take the time to place out intentions properly until the Moon VOC kicks off, we can not ask for a more exciting alignment form our planetary skies above down here below. The motivation to find peaceful means to understand what our new beginning are mean to be speaks loud and clear as not only energized but harmonious feelings will be bursting out shouting the joys of Spring wherever The Ram affects our lives.

Your playful feelings equally love contact with children. “Brain children” or offspring equally wish to be on your stage, and these bring peaceful feelings you can rely upon.

Capricorn: Have you already stopped working to shift to clean your house Dear Goat? Your home environment calls for more of your toil and perfectionism. More than likely you have been choosing to ponder here with equal focus upon your family life, all of what “I Nurture.” Not to get too psychic, but do not ignore those déjà vu experiences. There is a sense of calm that enters to align you in a way you have not be able to relate to in quite some time, so enjoy the harmony.

Aquarius: Enjoying the ongoing channel streaming from your thinking Water Bearer? Be ready for more inventions and original ways you always enjoy improving your sense of how “I Communicate.” Take time to plan a short trip now if you are not already on one. Experiences with neighbors and siblings grant fresh perspectives. The dynamic development of your mentality is so super charged, you best be prepared to write an entire book about it for the world to read.

Pisces: The Fishes currently swim in the waters to a new sense of values while also taking stock of personal possessions- the solidarity of what “I Have.” You are in the mood to ponder deeply about how you earn your dollars. A new channel to flow from begins to show its face, granting security you can rely upon. With all of this excitement stirring your sea of possibilities, it will be best to take time in that SILENT LISTEN so you do not miss any of the intuition speaking here.

Remembering Gerald Jay Markoe

Happy New Year in Spirit to one of the most influential members of my adopted family Gerald Jay Markoe. My life changed completely working with him and Astromusic at INATS (International New Age Trade Show), where I “stumbled upon” a deck of Linda Goodman’s Star Cards, prompting me to return back to NYC and reread Star Signs.  This time around -during my own Saturn Return in my 10th house of Career- I finished her book, and the rest is now history. It is always with A TRUE GREAT TRUE ATTITUDE of GRATITUDE I extend to Dear Jerry for all of his encouragement to me over the years and support to keep at this astrology “thing.”

Jerry was a musical master being born 22 March 1941, the same date as Stephen Sondheim and Andrew Lloyd Weber. While Jerry innately picked up the piano as a toddler, Astromusic began when he started composing one’s personal musical score from the mathematical data the natal birth chart provides, thus translating to us, the sacred geometry it contains through the innate understanding that everything represents vibration in life through sound. Yes, what an absolutely stunning gift!

As time went on, Jerry – on the karmic path of the 22/4 Master Builder and Innovator that he came here to be- developed a new way to listen to timeless classical music with a new age flare. One can never find any 4 karmic path not trying to do things in life their own original way, and coupling that with the Aries pioneering drive, and what Jerry has left us through his Astromusic collection is an eternal gift waiting to heal any soul. Jerry’s passion for music was unsurpassed, as was his enthusiasm for teaching it- leading him to create an entire line of CD’s dedicated to developing a child’s mind properly.

Jerry always encouraged me to keep exploring how numerology could be layered into the astrology, but at the end of the day, he too became fascinated by my ability to Lexigram. We discovered, that indeed they worked quite well when we examined one of his best selling New Age albums, ‘Music of the Angels,’ from Allegro Music in 1995. This was one of the rare times a New Age album had sold over 300,000 copies, which in this genre of music, is like a platinum rock and roll record. And low and behold, what did the phrasing of the anagrams of this popular title reveal!

MUSIC OF THE ANGELS

ITS’ MAIN SALES GO NUTS AS IT IS A GIANT HIT!
THESE TUNES HEAL SOULS EONS ON
THIS ONE IS SO SET TO LAST
LET A SILENT LISTEN HEAL THE SOUL

As Lexigrams always spell out the truth of what’s really in a name, we were not surprised either when we took a look at how the letters in Jerry’s name told us a lot of the tale and mission this lifetime was to hold for him.

GERALD JAY MARKOE

JERRY A REAL EAGER RAM LEADER
JERRY A REAL MERRY MELODY MAKER
JERRY MAKE A RARE KARMA KEY MODEL MELODY REALM
JERRY EARMARK A REGAL MELODY REMAKE MODEL
ALLEGRO MAKE ALL JERRY MELODY
ALL REGARD, ALL AGREE JERRY MAKE A MELODY GLEAM
JERRY MERGE A REAL MELODY MOLD MEDLEY
JERRY A REAL DEAR DREAMER ALL REGARD

Even as Gerald Jay Markoe transited in spirit 12 March 2009, his energy is felt every day upon this earth because of the amazing talent and healing music he innately gifted us all with. The LOVE to EVOLVE that streams from what he created in his lifetime speaks for itself. One of his favorite places was Puerto Rico, where he spent time in retirement (retreating to constantly keep creating more Astromusic releases) with his most beloved birds, Jackie and Jolie. On this anniversary of his Solar Return, it is with fond memories to wish him a most Happy New Year in Spirit Dear Jerry and again extend my heartfelt GREAT TRUE ATTITUDE of GRATITUDE to your legacy. Namaste.

 

Lunar-O-Scope, 11 March 2013

NEW Moon in Pisces, 11 March, 3:51pm EDT

Renewed Spirit, Refreshed Soul

A new energy is birthing where The Fishes swim in your Zodiac Pie, even as our Messenger journeys in his passage of review. With the dynamic planet party presently swimming in The Fishes, the collective’s emotional focus now shifts to a sympathetic nature. As we take up initiation to gather back in the light in the dreamy sign that grants us imagination and sentimentality, how will you embrace the prevailing instinct that Pisces promises as another Waxing Phase begins?

Moon enters Pisces,
1:19am EST 10 March to 7:17am EDT 12 March

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

New Moon, Moon Void of Course: 11 March, 3:51pm EDT, 21 degrees Pisces
When our New Moon shows itself in the dreamy energies of Pisces -the sign that consciously aims for understanding- there couldn’t be a more auspicious time to receive impressions that open up our intuitive natures. Be sure to check the Piscean House, in particular the 21-degree Pisces spot, in your personal birth chart to see where a new energy is ideally meant to unfold. This is the area of life that heavily favors initiation in the next two weeks to follow, but proceed with caution under the request for Mercury’s Review. Seeds that you plant in this half of your Zodiac pie as the light gathers until the next Full Moon upon 27 March, are bound to reap a rich harvest further down the road.

For the Collective

The possibility of restless feelings may create some waves, so make sure you stay swimming in safe waters as this New Moon kicks off. Mercury has been journeying backwards with The Fishes, and placing clues as to how we should best communicate our feelings at this time since 23 February. While we will see anew coming in here, be sure, anything legally binding or truly needing initiation is not brought to fruition until after Mercury goes Direct 17 March. Even under the Shadow, which will remain until 05 April, you’ll want to be in full awareness of actions that occurred under the retrograde transit.

This New Moon in Pisces precisely begins as a Moon Void of Course equally starts, and as the Moon conjuncts our Sun, this will be the last major aspect it makes before moving into Aries. Therefore, while new ideas and energies may be in the air, not moving forward until after the Moon enters Aries is also favored. Time in reflection is quite recommended all around until our Messenger goes Direct, but especially under a Moon Void of Course, any important decisions should be avoided until it passes. An odd request for a Waxing Phase to begin and not actually initiate, yet as all the planetary force in Pisces have been profoundly speaking, what is in need of further examination here will welcome the action of exploring beliefs and educating one’s self further, as the 21 degree point also asks to do.

Lunar-O-Scope, New Moon in Pisces, 2013
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. However, it is the awareness and mathematical analysis of the individual birth chart that will point to the accuracy of how the current planetary landscape affects you.

For the true astrology buffs, be sure to check the Pisces House, in particular where the 21-degree Pisces spot in your natal birth chart lives. (A natal birth chart is determined from the time of birth, which allows a more in-depth look to equally see where some pondering is ideally meant to unfold in how the planets uniquely affect you.) Whether the collective or individual vantage point, these are the areas of life that call for you to bring forth initiation and beginnings within the next two weeks to follow. Properly embracing the new and gathering up in these areas (adhering to the Moon Void of Course and MRx delays) until the next Full Moon upon 27 March will plant energies in place for future use.

Aries: Lover of exploration Dear Ram, are you ready to really dive into those inner places in your life where “I Process?” The self-discovery you have already been unfolding here will have you looking forward to even more kinds of self-undoing. The spiritual, subconscious realms, and the psychological make-ups of life continue to chat with you and journey within your own head. Keep on taking the lead, striking up new ideas about how you spend intimate time with spirit and soul.

Taurus: Your friendships have been conversing about change, and now more takes place where “I Socialize.” Groups or causes you’ve been mulling over don’t require your patience any longer. Something you’ve wished for since a child can truly come into manifestation- so listen carefully to your hopes and dreams. Organizations take major focus at this time. Accept that invitation to socialize -aside from the emotional comfort- you’ll gain more mental satisfaction from attending.

Gemini: A buzz of energy surrounds the career and public life- continue to look-out for those changes where “I Structure.” A fantastic time to promote or start a new business- just watch the MRx/Moon VOC warnings. A nice recognition you may have visualized since being quite young can prosper. Your relationship to authority asks for improved communications- as you arrive at an understanding you’ve not been responsible to as old and tired impressions here disappear.

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

Leo: Securities and investments have already been communicating that decisions are soon to be made about changes where “I Transform.” You can find smart ways to learn not only yours, but how other people’s money can create wealth for you at present. Somehow, your childhood plays a role in this process as a surge of regeneration and change within your soul’s core completes. Go ahead and feel sexy Lion, as you also tap into sensual desires to feel new in mysterious ways.

Virgo: Toss off the logic Virgin, now is not the time to be shy within your partnerships where “I Relate,” from your romantic ties to business contacts. Connections that have been under review are of special importance to the future, so feel no doubt with any decisions moving forward once MRx concludes. The realms of communications have been speaking intuitively to you about the direction to take, which has something to do with finishing up healing the old wounds here.

Libra: Ready to embrace the opportunity with both arms to bring improvements to your health and all areas where “I Serve?” New beginnings here have already been hinting at the ways you’ll help others and work with them. Thinking about taking on a new routine that you may have wanted to do since you were a kid? Implement it now- it has the means to stick around and continue to work. Energies surrounding pets, also are a pleasant balance request for your Scales.

Scorpio:
Admire what power brings you, and combine that with your impressions from childhood, and you’ll have plenty of it at your fingertips where “I Create.” Excitement and confidence have been revisiting whatever your current projects involve. Trust those feelings to be more playful, and enjoy any contact with children. A “brain child” wishes to continue to captivate your attention now. Take a deserved bow on a center stage, but don’t let your ego take the lead.

Sagittarius:
One of your multi-tasks has seen you doing some pre-Spring cleaning Archer, which has brought upon a fresh sparkle to change-up your environment where “I Nurture.” More than likely, you’ve already been embracing them within the home. Your arrows set their aims to further focus upon some new energy in your family life. Aside from your impressions here from youth- déjà vu and psychic experiences have very important messages for you to receive.

Capricorn: Is it possible to make you any wiser old Goat? Well, you know better than most we never stop learning, and you have been stimulated all too much as of late to improve your mental capacity where “I Communicate.” Go back to laboring ideas from childhood and see how this connects with present ones. Plan a short trip now if you aren’t already on one. As these fresh ways of thinking continue to work hard to reach you, you’ll find rich reward in embracing them.

Aquarius: There are some new values originating that get you in the mood now to take stock of your personal possessions and what “I Have.” New ways to earn your dollars are finding their individual means to reinvent themselves at present. Ponder your values as a child and what these mean to you now. New life seeks to enter your entire sense of security. Make purchases that grant a deeper understanding about what truly matters to you most, which can help heal you.

Pisces:
The “I AM” light is on you Dear Fishes. Exciting new feelings of self-sufficiency have asked you to take the lead in the immediate waters you choose to swim in. While a sympathetic concern is always intense for others, be intuitive first and foremost with yourself. Tap into what still needs healing from the confidence of your youth. The world awaits to see your new mask as you have prepared to reveal inspiring ways to perceive your first impressions and approaches.

Mercury Retrograde in Pisces: 23 Feb to 17 March 2013

Image: Unification Family

Now let’s get something straight right away. You’ll notice FEAR cannot be spelled at all from MERCURY RETROGRADE. This passage is one of the most misrepresented in astrology, in where people are generally taught to expect “gloom and doom.”  Allow the wisdoms of Numerology and Lexigrams to ease your mind about this astrological phenomena, and how to shift any fear of it to that of knowing your free will has the same amount of control under it as it does at any other time of the year.

If one really understands that our ‘As Above, So Below’ is completely set up in such a divine order -when our Messenger planet takes a little rewind about 3 times per year for an approximate 3 week duration- this is the equivalent to the same amount of time we spend restoring our bodies every night. As one innately opens the mind to associate this period with as much importance as it is to sleep daily, they can embrace the opportunity it offers us to reset our souls in all the REDO and GREAT CORE CURE it can profoundly provide.

The first Mercury Retrograde of 2013 begins 23 February, and we are asked to apply the “rules of retrograde” until the 17 March. Yes, there are definitely guidelines that are wise to follow during this transit, and words that begin with RE are a huge part of them. Adhere to them, and anyone can reap rich rewards over the time that “MRx” brings into all of our personal and collective experiences. Knowing Mercury is our planet guiding our communication, movement, thinking, mentality and all exchanges of information -and the celestial vessel who is closest to us here on earth- when he isn’t looking where he is going, we all get a little off beat to say the least. So how are we best to REadjust it all with REsponse verses REaction?

Mercury Retrograde and Numerology
The very word RETROGRADE (any planet’s reverse movement which results in an opposite direction to that of the Earth’s orbit around the Sun, or of the Moon around the Earth) itself carries a Name Expression of the 35’s Partnerships. Said the Chaldeans of the 35: “This compound number vibrates, in a strange way, to a unique kind of power, based on compassion and unselfishness, with the ability to help others, but not always the Self. 35 is full of contradictions. It warns of dangers, disappointments, and failure, especially regarding the ambitions, brought about through bad advice, and association.” Interesting comparison to what any planet’s retrograde passage is expected to bring to our lives. As any planet offers up their backwards time -if we carefully recognize that which not meant be in forward motion but rather in true examination of what has already recently transpired-  one will find they tap into that compassion and unselfishness more, and will avoid the contradictions, dangers and failure.

The singular 8 also casts it’s wise light of advice under retrograde: slow down, regain your stability, utilize patience, learn from the experiences, and be ultimately responsible. Guess what planet numerologically is in charge of retrograde through the 8 here? Our Karmic Adjustor Saturn. This is certainly why any retrograde is so important to note- for if you do not listen to its’ call, Saturn is all too good at tossing out another lesson for anyone to pay attention to until they get it. Ever not heed what a paternal figure (especially the fatherly one) asks? This is the deep clue as to why “MRx” is given the complete “bad rap” to those unawares, and will create restrictions and limitations.

When you add MERCURY to the RETROGRADE mix, we have a total Name Expression of the 13’s Regeneration – Change. Again, this is not a number to be feared nor underestimate. What amazing results are able to be anyone’s reality when the 13 is fully comprehended: “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.”

Sound like the energy we are used to when we are hanging out in our “RE rules” of MERCURY RETROGRADE?  Aside from REgeneration, take any word that begins with RE and one can be sure to find courses of action under this passage that relate to them. REview, REdo, REfresh, REpair, REset, REflect, REorganize, REtreat, REvisit…. The list goes on and on, of which the most important is to always REst and RElax under “MRx.” One fantastic way to absorb the energy of MRx is to reach back into old, unfinished business and creative projects wherein this time spent is always known to produce powerful results that are nothing short of pure genius with the break-throughs and innovations when time spent in the REstructuring works for you.

The Chaldeans were spot-on in knowing the Name Expression of MRx is not only about the 13’s REgeneration, but that of CHANGE. How many times do you need Plans B, C, D or even E in order when those unexpected things show up under MRx? REmember under any MRx we are digging up our old earth, which always is in need of a bit of TLC attention in the first place. It is wonderful to know that upheaval is supposed to happen, so that we can get better in touch with our lives. We are preparing under any MRx passage, to break new ground once it has concluded. But the new can never be planted for success in a garden full of weeds.

Weeding our gardens means change must be accepted as a part of the process. As Charles Darwin, once said, “It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change.” So too, is this statement ever so true to better grasp how to have REsolve under MRx. When one expects change, and does not resist it, no matter what kind of challenge it may test one with, therein lies the key to surviving MRx with ease and grace. If we choose to view MRx as a gift, it most certainly will REflect that outcome for anyone.

Mercury Retrograde and Lexigrams
The ever-fascinating wonders of Lexigrams –the poetic phrasing of the anagrams that can be derived from any word, name or title to spell out the truth- on MERCURY RETROGRADE are amazing at helping us better understand what to do under this transit. More clues are right in front of us as to how this vital request from above wishes to be viewed, actually enjoyed, and no longer feared.

How will this review and redo passage affect your life? If you know your natal chart, check out where the 19 to 05 degree Pisces slice of life falls. This will be the area that requests reassessment and where your energy is best place to anticipate where the MRx changes will unfold the most. Equally via the collective perspective, the relationship of Pisces to your Sun Sign will also offer up loads of wisdom that can aid in the affirmation of your planetary picture.

The Approach to our first MRx of 2013 began 09 February, when Mercury was last at 05 degrees Pisces, the very degree he will return to. Under the Approach, we always see the things associated with what will be further re-examined under the Retrograde passage itself start to surface. The Shadow will conclude 06 April, when Mercury, while moving forward once more will return to the 19 degree Pisces mark. Under the Shadow, anything you might have had to initiate by default under the MRx will see the opportunity to correct and iron out the details that were overlooked. As human error is the highest under this passage, it is critical the decisions we choose to make under it.

REmember the DO’s and DON’TS!
REmain in the eye of any apparent storm around you…
These handy tips can help bring ease over this upcoming period to allow personal success to be reaped!

DO:
*Expect CHANGE: in travel, routines, communications & schedules to occur suddenly
*Give yourself extra time to get where you’re going
*Spend time in the RE’s: Relax, Revisit, Reflect, Redo, REcharge!
*Have Plan B (and Plan C, D or E if necessary) ready to go
*Gravitate to REsponding vs. REacting!

DON’T:
*“Freak out” when changes come up
*Rush: speaking, driving, doing anything!
*Sign important documents
*Initiate or buy anything new that you wish to have long-term success with.

NEW Moon in Aquarius,  10 February,  2:20am EST

Gathering Friendly Truth

Ego is not part of the humanitarian picture as we get smart and initiate emotional energy in the sign that loves to bring us closer to the friendships within our life. As our friends in the East celebrate The Year of the Snake, it’s time for another New Moon in Aquarius, as another waxing period of gathering begins. Where can some love of mankind coupled with a progressive and ingenious energy transform all kinds of fresh feelings within you in the next two weeks?

Moon enters Aquarius, 2:16pm EST 08 February to 4:20pm EST 10 February
Aquarius passages are the perfect time within our winter’s wisdom to lock into some more clues that ground us firmly to the season at hand. This recognition rewards us later with the keys to our soon to be Spring, now only 5 weeks away. Aquarius never wishes for the ego to focus on the dread of winter, but discover within its’ retreat, the joys of where the intellect can take you on its journey. As our Lunar Lady renews in the inventive energies of The Water Bearer -the sign that brings new life to everything- it is a great time to prophesize and put forth ideas we wish to implement and watch develop for the entire year ahead.

New Moon, 10 February 2:20am EST 21 degrees Aquarius

This is truly is a humanitarian moon on multitudes of levels. Again we see another waxing phase begin at the 21st degree of the sign, wherein Jupiter through the singular 3 here is asking yet again for the truth to be told, something that Aquarius equally finds by being friendly to mankind. This further opens up the door to the key that is part of EVOLUTION moving forward, and that is the know of LOVE. This love of the truth that the 21’s ‘The Crown of the Magi’ promises, equally understands that the soul’s testing is over. The more we assimilate the love of truth into our beings, the more suffering ceases to exist.
Our Moon Void of Course also begins in sync with the New Moon, for our Moon conjunct Sun is the last major aspect it makes before moving into Pisces. While reflection and considerate are favored, be sure to not move forward with future intentions for this waxing phase until after 4:20pm EST 10 February.

For the Collective
Another quality of Aquarius is tapping into prophecy, which equally is intensified as The Chinese Year of the Water Snake also now begins. The Snake is always known for its’ intuition, and in a Water elemental year, this will be heightened tenfold where psychic energies will be all the more available for the collective to better understand. Like Aquarians, Snakes are intellectual thinkers that can give splendid advice. Both equally possess a reserved and controlling nature that engages their mental capacities to prefer working out solutions and bringing forward progress, coupled with an intrigue for the esoteric and spiritual practices for the human and soul cause.

There is a true emotional structure being set into motion upon this lunation as well. As we find most of our planets aside from Jupiter in the second half of the Zodiac with a concentration in Aquarius and Pisces, this New Moon directly squares off to our North and South Node, at 21 degrees Scorpio and Taurus, respectively. These fixed energies seek to lock in a new understanding of truth within our lives. As the North Node indicates the area of life to place attention on emotional responsibility -so that the South Node can easily bring in balance from the opposite area- you’ll find a transformation occurs as a deeper perception of what you previously knew unfolds. As the current transiting Nodes provide structure to this New Moon, get ready to not resist the truth that wishes to unveil itself to you.

Lunar-O-Scope, New Moon in Aquarius, 2013
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. However, it is the awareness and mathematical analysis of the individual birth chart that will point to the accuracy of how the current planetary landscape affects you.

For the true astrology buffs, be sure to check the Aquarius House, in particular where the 21-degree Aquarius spot in your natal birth chart lives. (A natal birth chart is determined from the time of birth, which allows a more in-depth look to equally see where some pondering is ideally meant to unfold in how the planets uniquely affect you.) Whether the collective or individual vantage point, these are the areas of life that call for you to bring forth initiation and beginnings within the next two weeks to follow. Properly embracing the new and gathering up in these areas until the next Full Moon upon 25 February will plant energies in place for future use.

Aries: New pals await where “I Socialize!” Groups or causes equally welcome your pioneering spirit, who has Uranus streaming those break through ideas to you clearly. While you are never shy, you’ll find you can talk to just about anyone. Should a social invitation show up you weren’t expecting, attending it is of great importance for the future. As you continue to see how much core transformation is working, your earning power and value system equally sees the benefits.

Taurus:
Fresh growth now emerges where “I Structure” in the career and public life for you. Promote or birth a new business, for recognition comes your way if you’ve done your proper legwork to receive it. Find a friendlier way to view authority figures.

Gemini:
Your mind is always working overtime, but you’ll unlock a different direction to take your philosophies now where “I Believe.” A spiritual adventure engages your higher education and urge to travel. Plan for a long journey, if you aren’t already there. You are excited to learn. There is a responsibility tugging at you about changing how you serve this world, which receives answers from the time you spend alone and pondering your inner world so you can stand united.

Cancer: If you’ve been worried about your securities and investments, it’s time to make decisions where “I Transform.” Remember Mercury starts Retrograding on 23 February. Look out for found money or ways other people’s money can help you. A new view on sexuality wishes to speak with you. Let out a regeneration from the core, for this works with the creative calling you must listen to right now, that opens the doors to new found social scenes to express it within.

Leo: It’s your month to place focus upon where “I Relate” and think about those intimate partnerships. From romantic ties to business contacts, there are a many new blessings about to shower within your closest relationships. Legal bindings here are equally favored to flourish far into the future, just make sure everything is signed before 23 February. The attention upon where you nurture is paying off so that you will naturally shine in your career and public life.

Virgo: True to your natural self, you’ll cherish bringing improvements to where “I Serve” Dear Virgins. Look around to the workplace and see what is meant to reform and improve, especially with co-workers. Implement a new routine, or take on some better habits concerning your health. New furry friends may seek you as their master. As you keep up the hard work where you communicate, those beliefs seem to magically shift and serve you like never before.

Libra: You shine with your innate balance upon the stage where “I Create!” Excitement and confidence surround new projects, and original ones inspire you. Playful interaction with children is favored, whether they are your own offspring or “brain children.” A new love affair may birth something you’ve not expected up till now. Yes, there is extra effort required for earning power and values right now, but these bring in a welcomed regeneration soon enough to your wealth.

Scorpio:
The house needs some cleaning Scorpio, as you also put forth some new ground rules within your home environment where “I Nurture.” An innovative energy requests you rejuvenate ties with your family life. Old judgments no longer can be tolerated in this fresh friendly space. Déjà vu will speak to you, so listen carefully. As you handle Saturns’ changes, these emotionally shape a new you to be seen by the world, allowing your partnerships to truly soar.

Sagittarius: If you’ve been thinking about sending off your arrow to improve your thinking and mentality Archer, go ahead and aim high where “I Communicate!” New ways of the minds’ channeling has you feeling like a genius. You’re probably also thinking about travel as usual, and if you’re not already on a short trip, plan another one. Siblings or neighbors are friendly. Remember the time you spend in solitude grants more keys to how to serve the world better.

Capricorn: You enjoy understanding value old Goat, and you are in the mood to take stock of your own personal possessions with what “I Have.” Something new is in the works about the way you earn your dollars.

The Year of the Water Snake 2013

We collectively celebrate the Chinese New Year on the Aquarius New Moon 10 February 2013: The Year of the Snake/Water Year. The Chinese Zodiac can lend anyone valuable insight into their personality and natural tendencies, further enhancing what our Western Zodiac is able to provide.

ASTROLOGY: THE EAST MEETS WEST
The intricate link that is the common ground of understanding to how the East and West relate is the transit of Jupiter -which takes approximately one year to pass through any Zodiac sign- resulting in a 12 year cycle to complete the entire Zodiac Wheel. Jupiter is the planet that represents where typically -if a sense of control and awareness are present- good luck, fortune, prosperity, growth and optimism will flow freely within the life as one examines the classic tropical astrology birth chart. From the East’s perception, during the current animal year that always begins upon an Aquarian New Moon until the next lunar pass of it, we will see the return of Jupiter to the zodiac sign it correlates to in the West’s astrology chart.

Our friends in the East take their Zodiac and equally separate it into 12 signs as does Western Astrology. Here in the West it takes only one year to represent all 12 signs on our Zodiac wheel as our Sun passes through them month to month, relating to our change of seasons through cardinal, fixed and mutable energies represented within the elements of fire, earth, air and water. Our friends in the East take 60 years to complete a full cycle, as each animal every 12 years is depicted through 5 different elemental years of earth, metal, water, wood, and fire. Both the West and East honor the signs being masculine/yang or feminine/yin energy as well.

ENTER THE SNAKE
The Snake –a yin fire animal- comes into Zodiac play for us for the first time since 1953-54 in a Water elemental year. Our last Snake year was 2001-02, where it was in a metal guided energy for the passage. While we are starting off 2013-14’s Year of the Water Snake under Jupiter in Gemini, by the early summer Jupiter enters Cancer, which is the transit associated with how we are best to identify what will transpire under the influence of the Snake.

Snakes in the West are often professed to be dangerous, creepy and generally feared. This is not the case in the East. The Snake holds deep mystical symbolism and high esteem as an energy that helps one better understand the process of transformation along their spiritual journey in life. Honored as a source of sacredness, beauty and wisdom, snakes should not be underestimated in their somnolent and passive appearance. With minds that penetrate deeply, they possess an innate ability to listen and give rich advice, seeing beyond the surface and can perceive and discover all kinds of hidden truths. Typically curious, intelligent and reflective, Snakes are quite known to appreciate what the unknown can teach to them, and thoroughly enjoy sharing these secrets and any good advice with others.

NUMEROLOGY AND THE SNAKE
Now the collective experiences the 6th year within a 9 (2008 to 2016) and 12-year cycle (Year of the Rat, 2008 to Year of the Pig, 2019) where the seeds planted in 2008 are seeing a state of balance returning after all of 2012’s permanent changes. After the midway point of the current collective 9 yr span has passed, we also have now reached the halfway mark around the Chinese Zodiac Wheel, as a transformative year speaks before the next half begins in 2014.

Strengthening compassion and understanding within our relationships and especially family ties throughout the present year aides in the eventual collective harvest, just a couple more years further down the road in 2015. With Venus guiding the singular 6’s energy over 2013, there is plenty of harmony, contemplation, peace and justice to be found amongst the Snakes’ urges for deep philosophical ponderings which dive into morality. 2013 marks the time where seeing both sides of the issues at hand make for brilliant perceptions to be discovered, as mankind is wise to step into his heart space to better comprehend his reason for being here at this time upon the earth.

THE WATER SNAKE 2013
The collective can expect this to be a time of karmic experiences offering up regeneration and change wherein balance is restored from them. Honest acts are rewarded, while those handling hurtful secrets will find them being exposed. Attention placed upon self-renewal is favored, and the adaptation to the attitude of grace under any kind of pressure will prevail over anxious reactions. Working efficiently and economically brings serenity, for duplicity is present for this passage, and remembering to keep an eye on every detail while taking less gambles brings buoyancy in financial dealings. An intuitive intelligence is easily available to anyone willing to better understand the soul’s process and purpose. Matters of morality strongly become a focal point, as questions get asked and the answers appear to further understanding for humanity. It is an auspicious year within The Water Snake for the arts to especially nurture these ideals and create works that provide profound insight for the human cause.

Life in a Water Snake Year evokes the nature of an instinctive presence that taps us into an imaginative mood for the collective. Especially once Jupiter enters Cancer in early July, we will have 3 outer planets in water signs. Upon 17 July as Jupiter in Cancer reaches 04 degrees, it makes a Grand Trine to Saturn at 04 degrees Scorpio and Neptune at 04 degrees Pisces. At this 04 degree mark, be ready for innovative, original, and break-through sensations to stream into where your water sign points align in the Zodiac Pie. While Neptune will hold back in the early degrees of Pisces, Jupiter and Saturn meet up later upon 12 December at 18 degrees for another exact trine between Cancer and Scorpio, drawing upon more conclusions that propel us to hone in further upon spiritual means over materialistic gains driven by ego.

These planetary meet-ups promise to offer the potential for the collective to get happy about breaking through to a deep and rich inspiration that will aide in awakening to further truths that can steady success, as long as eyes are open and responsible to ways that are wise and just. With the Snake representing Yin Fire energy, what transpires over the year ahead brings forth profound reflection, coupled with a dynamic sympathetic understanding about our lives. Heralding transformation within our state of feeling, we can unite what has been divided in our outer world for far too long in order to continue living life the way it can be embraced with mysticism and enthusiasm as our guiding lights.

The Snake is the considered an extremely karmic Chinese animal and holds intense symbolism upon their Zodiac Wheel. They firmly believe that those born in a Snake year, incarnate to balance out whatever past life karma is left unsettled to free the soul. Snakes are easy to handle problems that may come their way, and are rare to subscribe to letting whatever they must overcome get them down.  Innate advice givers -but not always the ones to easily receive it- these Spirits are here to generously help others in their deep thinking and perceptive ways. When they follow the path of warmth, comforting others, and protection, they find love and respect; while if they slither towards actions in life that breed suspicion, vengeful or crafty results, they find cruelty and intolerance instead. So too, will these principles exist and persist within this Chinese Zodiac Year, so remember the wiser ways of the Snake and one will prevail.

LEXIGRAMS AND THE SNAKE
As we look to add some Lexigram insight as we examine the very title of ‘THE YEAR OF THE WATER SNAKE’ we find, uncannily enough, the truth can be spelled out from the very letters composing it. In the simplicity of the SNAKE alone, it is wise to not gravitate to actions that result in being a SNEAK in the year ahead, for then one will miss the gifts that this year is meant to bestow upon those that take up in matters of the HEART, which reflects in further healing for our dear EARTH.

Spotting A Snake
You are in the company of a Snake when you see an elegant, profound, sophisticated, and sensual spirit that efficiency shows that life is to be valued by living every day in contemplation that leads to more self-awareness.

The Typical Snake
Unlike the “scary” norm, a person born to this year: is subtle, is at times seductive, enjoys time in analysis, makes their home their favorite place so they can imagine and remain in peace, excels at adaptation, exudes intensity and passion, prefers to work efficiently so they can have time to relax, possesses an innate understanding of morality, dislikes fake anything- seeing through all that is not genuine, avoids lending money or dealing with superficial people.

Snakes and Yin Fire Energy
The internal feminine combines with the spirit and inspiration, resulting in the excitement that these natives have about offering up uncanny advice. The energy of fire allows for an attractive urge to be eager to please others within the nurturing Yin. A Snake can become unbalanced when they do not find themselves to be motivated- without any moral or material inspiration, they coil up into a reflective state that others view as lazy, and withdrawal from the world.

Snake Years in History
The Snake’s energy marks a universal time for expansion upon our ability to perceive what cannot be seen alongside nurturing what we already have with efficiency. Financial matters of all kinds but especially those surrounding food, real estate and charities prosper when scrutiny and honesty are respected. Those holding to secrets that are in harmful intentions will become exposed, wherein more often than not, even though the TRUTH will HURT, it will bring forward an ultimate transformation to set one free. A dynamic year for the metaphysical fields and artistic pleasures, those who seek to give sound advice for humanity’s prosperity, benefit and morality are the victors.

1905, 1917, 1929, 1941, 1953, 1965, 1977, 1989, 2001, all saw growth and forceful changes within these areas on a global level, as will 2013, as along as intuition is carefully listened to with the Water energy guiding this particular year.

CHINESE ZODIAC FUN FACTS
*The Chinese New Year is always celebrated upon an Aquarian New Moon here in the West, as it yearly cycle ends upon the next one in the following year.

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

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

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

“Self-love for ever creeps out, like a snake, to sting anything which happens to stumble upon it.” ~George Byron
