NEW Moon in Sagittarius
13 December 

3:42am EST

Initiating Spiritual Truth
Aim high for one of the more spirited New Moons within 2012, as we send off new energy within the sign that seeks honesty and generosity for every soul! As our Lunar Lady kick-offs in Sagittarius, for certain the time is now to anticipate some fresh and optimistic energy where those Archer arrows urge to expand within your Zodiac Pie throughout 28 December.

Moon enters Sagittarius
11 December, 5:22pm EST to 13 December, 4:43pm EST
Whenever our Lunar Lady spends time with The Archer, we are encouraged to gravitate to exploration, education, philosophy, inquiry, as well as a touch of luck and good fortune: the natural gifts of a Moon in Sagittarius. Fitfully enthusiastic instincts coupled with honorable, highly independent, and buoyant emotions are ready to be embraced by the collective. Meanwhile, do be on the look out for the mutable fire here to possibly catch you off-guard- as restless, outspoken, roving, and superficial energies may distastefully display themselves.

New Moon in Sagittarius, 13 December, 3:42am EST, 21 degrees
This lunar kick-off will cast an easily stimulated instinct that anyone can find inspiration within when true imagination is applied. Embracing the warm, spontaneous and intuitive feelings that wish to spark, ultimately keep any potential for argumentative reactions to emotionally explode at bay. Remember within mutable fire, there are no limits, so the innate wisdom to know when to say when is smart to adhere to.

Be sure to check the Sagittarian House, in particular the 21 degree piece, in your personal birth chart to see where a new start will be stemming from that will require true soul-searching, sincerity, and wisdom to accompany it. There is a calling here to understand that wherever this degree point falls within your life, that the soul testing you may have recently seen, is now over with. As long as education, honesty were genuinely listened to, abundance and wisdom will be happy to show you ways to now positively feel where the 21’s ‘Crown of the Magi’ engages from your Zodiac Pie.

For the Collective
While any given New Moon brings forth the opportunity to engage in a fresh start to our emotions, we’ve got an interesting mix of frequencies from outer planets casting off from above upon this lunation. From Cancer to Libra, there are no planets currently transiting between these two Cardinal Leadership signs, allowing no energies to connect here within water, fire, earth, and air. For any natal chart via current transits, this quadrant of the life projects a sense of peace not felt in quite some time. Jupiter Retrograde, however, is very alone and feels the seriousness of the inconjunct from Saturn at 07 degrees Scorpio. This conversation sends a narrow and limited energy as our Philosopher planet continues on reviewing at 09 degrees Gemini, questioning all the ways we receive and transfer our communications in life- and wishes for solutions to be found to regenerate them.

Saturn also, has to get smarmy with Uranus Retrograde over at 04 degrees Aries, forming another inconjunct- which potentially beckons the argument between those in authority and rebels against their cause.  Approval is sought, yet impulsive behaviors easily are displayed. Avoiding knee-jerk reactions and implementing visionary responses makes all the difference in the apparent struggles that can show up between the Scorpio and Aries areas of the life.

LUNAR-O-SCOPE, NEW Moon in Sagittarius 2012
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 Sagittarius house, in particular where the 21-degree Sagittarius 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 28 November will plant energies in place for future use.

Aries: A fresh philosophy awaits for you to unleash it Dear Ram where “I Believe.” Take a long trip if you aren’t already in action to do so.

Cancer: Your gut is spot on in telling you to embark on new routines, personal habits, and improvements to your health, so strongly grab hold of these ideas with those claws where “I Serve!” As you ignite new means of being of service to others, find a way to make them feel right at home.

It is still time to review all hopes, dreams and wishes.

Virgo: Don’t be shy about what needs to start anew within your home and family life, where “I Nurture.” Domesticated life is where you serve best right now! Don’t doubt that déjà vu -listen closely to the instinct you hear from within- as its’ message is of karmic importance. As your wealth and core transformations see their outta nowhere actions –it is your thinking and mentality that has to be learning from the experiences here. Be patient, and keep reflecting about career improvements.

Libra: New ways of thinking are ready for you to embrace them where “I Communicate.” Intellectually, opportunities are able to aid in balancing the mentality. Your neighbors or siblings may tip your Scales to learn from them.

Capricorn: Your psyche and the unknown await your toil where “I Process.” Subconscious urges shift focus from perfection to working on the hidden parts of yourself. Best you refrain from overtime. Be silent and listen. Pay attention to your nighttime dreams. Your sense of security at home is improving amongst the sudden changes you have seen- learn more about what you hope and wish for- this serves your health and others around you better when you see the spirit and not the material.

Aquarius: Be friendly to the energy wishing to bless your friendships and organizations, where “I Socialize.” Set new goals in your groups, which find fresh ways for your hopes and dreams to embrace new life.

Those unexpected changes in thinking and communicating- these may thwart your public life if you don’t remember what is trying to creatively revive itself within you.

Pisces: The Fishes are in lively currents concerning career matters right now, as a spark allows all to move forward where “I Structure.” News you’ve been waiting for in regards to your purpose, mission, and reputation will have you feeling totally charged up.

Lunar-O-Scope 28 November: Eclipse & Full Moon in Gemini

LUNAR Eclipse, FULL Moon in Gemini
28 November

Concluding IDEAS, Spirited AIDES

Welcome a finalizing energy in the Gemini area of your life! With Jupiter currently offering up reflection here, coupled by a 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 review to take place. The collective’s emotions get stirred in the sign that strives for stimulating communication on any level. Where will you release an alert instinct within the next two waning weeks and months ahead?

Moon enters Gemini
Tuesday 27 November, 7:58pm EST to Friday 30 December, 8:55am 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.

28 November
Lunar Eclipse in Gemini 9:33am EST, Full Moon 9:46am EST, 06 degrees

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 all the way back from the Solar Eclipse here back upon 20 May. 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.

For the Collective
We again see a 06 degree spot to see where a conclusive energy is ideally meant to unfold as the Full Moon peaks, where relating to what is unfolding within this area of the life is essential. The particular piece of the Zodiac Pie it falls- allows a trigger of energy to be felt for a significant period of time as the Lunar Eclipse equally occurs. These are 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, offering release and completion that you will see unfold as the months ahead come to pass.

This Lunar Eclipse 06 degree point is the precise one that the present Jupiter Retrograde in Gemini moves forward from upon 30 January 2013. As a new journey of release begins its process, Jupiter’s Retrograde is fairly close by at 11 degrees Gemini. The callings for letting go of what no longer works in this area of the life will be strongest over these months, which ideally, ask for you to take a good compassionate look at both sides of the issues at hand before making proper decisions. With Jupiter always being the expansive planet, this will equally be a passage that requests that decisions are not made from emotional reactions, but from emotional responses.

Lunar-O-Scope, Full Moon in Gemini, 28 November 2012

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 Gemini House, in particular where the 06-degree Gemini 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 cleansing within the next two weeks and months to follow.

Aries:
Thoughts now can be properly placed into a conclusive mental focus that you have been working towards since May where “I Communicate.” 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 reflects, so do ask questions, as your curiosity welcomes necessary answers.

Taurus: Your possessions are always of great value to you, but it is time to part with some of what “I Have.” How you earn your dollars may find conclusive avenues to flow from that saw their birth back in May. While you cherish that deep sense of solidarity and security, logic naturally enters the situation as you honestly ask yourself, what does the material mean to me? You find wisdom to working smarter with your finances, money, and sense of values, as old roots are removed so new ones are able to grow 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 to how “I Am.” All that has flowed anew from May completes a cycle. As your first impressions now find the channel for release, fully commit to taking this time to re-activate the self. 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 where “I Process.” 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 where “I Socialize.” 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. Accept that unexpected invitation to socialize, for there is equal mental and equal emotional satisfaction you’ll gain from attending. You must be loyal to your hopes and dreams now, and wish well as you make decisions that ultimately affect your future.

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

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 where “I Transform.” No stranger to turns of regeneration, you’ll find there is another pass that your innate abilities here will find to complete, and this strengthens your passion like never before. It’s no secret you enjoy feeling sexy, but even more intense excitement unfolds that brings a real peak as you reflect upon your power in the bedroom.

Sagittarius: Your partnerships will be on your mind, from your romantic ties to business contacts where “I Relate.” What needs to conclude and move out of the way here from May’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 tend to be concerned 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 perfection where “I Serve.” 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 up for discussion- should they stay or should they go?

Aquarius: There’s a conclusive light that brings full illumination to where “I Create.” Whatever project you’ve been inventing and stimulating since May 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 where “I Nurture!” The home environment requires your imagination and full attention as things come full circle here from May’s initiations. A whole different point of view surrounds your family life, and one that may see necessary conclusions. Appreciate and fine-tune your psychic abilities to the déjà vu experiences surrounding you: the channel is ready for you to receive their important messages. If it feels karmic, you are spot on.

Mercury’s Turnaround REquesting Spirit

Mercury Goes Direct

18 Degrees Scorpio

26 November

Well, it’s been nothing short of A Monumental Mercury Retrograde over the past few weeks since 06 November. Now that our Messenger is stationed and has returned to forward motion, is it the time to truly absorb the fullness of the transit.
 
At the 18 the degree of Scorpio, this is a profound energy to take note of wherever this point is precisely placed in the personal piece of the Zodiac Pie. So get out that natal birth chart and start your probing as to what the concept of ‘Spiritual Material Conflict’ means to you in this area of your life as we now begin to move forward once more. 
 
If you are familiar with your Tarot, the 18 is close in concept to the very same 18 Moon card in the Major Arcana. Via the Chaldeans, this compound number represents a vibration concerning conclusions and finalizations within the life. Singularly guided by Mars through it’s singular 9 energy granting penetration, aggression and driving forces- the 9 always works in optimism when it rises up in courage. As we closely examine the Chaldeans’ perception, we can see why courage is the very ingredient for ultimate success within any matters concerning the 18.
 
Chaldean Karmic Mystery:  18  Spiritual Material Conflict
Of all Compound numbers, 18 has the most difficult symbolism to translate. (the Jesus complex) The ancients describe the 18 with the following image: A rayed moon, from which drops of blood are falling. A wolf and a hungry dog are seen below, catching the falling drops of blood in their opened mouths, while still lower, a crab is seen hastening to join them.  18 symbolizes materialism striving to destroy the spiritual side of the nature. It often associates the person or entity represented by it with bitter quarrels within the family circle- with wars, social upheaval, and revolution. In some cases it indicates making money or achieving position through divisive tactics, through war or other conflict. Its warns of treachery and deception from both friends and enemies; also danger from the elements, such as fire, flood, earthquakes, tempests and explosions, electrical shock or lightning.  If the name has this vibration, it should be negated immediately by changing the spelling to equal a more fortunate Compound number. If the birth number, extreme caution and care must be taken to meet the challenges and dangers of this number. The only way to dilute or diminish its effect on the life is by spiritual means, by unfailingly and repeatedly meeting deception and hatred from others with generosity, love, and forgiveness, by turning the other cheek, and returning good for evil, kindness for cruelty, honesty for dishonesty, honor for dishonor. In this way, the vibration 18 may be used for great success in illumination and enlightenment. Those born on the 18th day of any month have chosen themselves (on the level of the Higher Self), between incarnations, this channel of birth (as did Jesus) as the greatest of all testings of the soul for worthiness. Another way to dilute the negative aspect of the 18 is to change the number of the name to any favorable Compound number which adds or reduces to a single 6, by changing the spelling of the name. In addition to the attitude just counseled, this will also help to turn the tragedy of the 18 into triumph. Remember the 6 (Love) and 9 (conflict) relationship. People born on the 18th would be wise to plan everything of importance on days that have a 3 or 6 vibration, as well as to their addresses, telephone numbers, and other important areas in the life. In this way one may be more victorious, in both the spiritual and material worlds, over the restrictions of the 18. ~Linda Goodman’s Star Signs
 
Now it is best to make sure to take this and apply it to your natal chart, yet we can also receive great advice from a collective view of how this recent Mercury Retrograde has equally affected us via our Sun Sign alone. If you are early in the degrees of your Rising Sign, then read for that as well, for it will more than likely apply. As always, the precise math within your natal chart will be wise to follow for complete accuracy.

Conclusions under The Shadow. A Lunar Eclipse. 28 November

The Shadow passage that will complete at 04 degrees Sagittarius for this Mercury Retrograde passage will be just as telling as its’ Approach was that began 19 October, in where you may just feel, like things have not really returned to normal even though the Rx is over. And therein lies the truth of the matter. What we know, or thought we knew to be the truth, is not going to return to the comfort zones we once understood. Transformation for our world is officially 110% on.  As we release from the Lunar Eclipse at 06 degrees Gemini, who will be in a very weak conjunction to Retrograding Jupiter- the finalizations coming forth will increase our need for compassion upon this planet.  Another interesting conjunction from 08 degrees Capricorn also meets up upon this day between Mars and Pluto. This delicate formation intensifies energies to the potential of combative, impulsive, strict, and relentless forms of expression; wherein unscrupulous, fanatical, berserk and brutalities can be the outcomes if a thinking before you act practice is not adhered to. Under Lunar release of an Eclipse, it will be more than wise to carefully proceed.
 
May COURAGE GRACE OUR AGE & CURE OUR RAGE for all our Spirits.
Mercury moves forward 30 November to the 19th degree of Scorpio, and concludes the Shadow to 04 degrees Sagittarius on 13 December. 

Lunar-O-Scope, 13 November

New Moon in Scorpio, Solar Eclipse, 13 NovemberTruth’s Power Play

While Mercury Retrograde will say remember to keep your reflective cap on, this New Moon in Scorpio brings with it a longer term affect of a Solar Eclipse that will ask to honor what wishes to stream anew here once our Messenger moves forward. It’s a gift from the Universe in alignment with all the responsibility for truth unfolding within The Eagle, to have an extra force of encouragement to gather magnetic, determined, and regenerative feelings throughout this 2nd Waxing Phase of Autumn through 28 November.

Moon enters Scorpio
Monday 12 November, 6:10am EST to Wednesday, November, 5:52am EST

With any New Moon occurring in a water sign, our emotions have all the more tendency to have a powerful effect upon over us. A Scorpio Moon asks that we take this time to embark upon new beginnings through our emotional take on transformation and self-control, as she kicks off acute instincts for anyone to imagine with from this piece of any Zodiac Pie.

13 November
New Moon in Scorpio 5:08pm EST; Solar Eclipse 5:17pm EST, 21 degrees

When one is open to the request of our New Moon in Scorpio, the calling to unlock some new energies concerning our determination, sensitivities, and power to investigate is heard loud and clear. With the added bonus of a Solar Eclipse, this brings forth the new from this area of the life for up to an entire years’ time. Intense feelings and the capacity for reliving past experiences are strong. Be aware however of stinging, self-tormenting, and defiant reactions. However your free-will wishes to accept this captivating force, gravitating to honesty will bring out your greatest rewards to come. As always under a Mercury Retrograde, be sure to not move forward for the future until after this reflective passage concludes upon 26 November. Once Mercury under his Shadow Period moves back over this 21 degree point on 03 December, you’ll really start to see the action move here.

For the Collective

At the 21st degree of Scorpio, we find the key of this lunation and Solar Eclipse that beckons for the truth to be told in the months ahead from this area of the life. With the 21 representing The Crown of the Magi, it was the Chaldeans innate knowing of this numerological energy that was loosely translated from the tarots’ understanding of The Universe card. Of it, they stated, “It promises general success, and guarantees advancement, honors, awards, and general elevation in the life and career. It indicates victory after a long struggle, for the Crown of the Magi is gained only after long initiation, much soul testing and various other tests of determination.”

The guidance of Jupiter through the singular 3 will always request honesty, higher learning, growth, and optimism. Amongst the times of change Scorpio is now amongst, this 21st degree Solar Eclipse asks that we adhere to these principles as we make way for positive new beginnings within our lives. After the apparent struggles and tests that have asked for us to pay closer attention, the time in the year ahead now points us to what truly matters where The Eagle soars.

A Monumental Mercury Retrograde

The Messenger Rx

06 November
6:04pm EST
to 
26 November
5:48pm EST

04 degrees Sagittarius to 18 degrees Scorpio

Approach began: 18 October
When Mercury was last at 18 degrees Scorpio in Direct Motion.
Shadow ends: 13 December 

When Mercury is back at 04 degrees Sagittarius in Direct Motion.

Most people right now cannot even believe that we haven’t already been in a Mercury Retrograde passage, especially for those experiencing first hand the obvious changes surrounding the arrival of Hurricane Sandy in late October from Cuba, Bahamas, Haiti, the USA’s East Coast, and all the way into Canada. Look up a few other world events since 18 October, and all of these actions did fall under the approach of this last backwards transit of our Messenger for 2012.  We know, as all doled out in a huge cry for humanity to deal with- we will continue right on through the Retrograde itself and as the shadow completes, we certainly can expect to experience the journey of change loud and clear.

Upon us now, is one of the most complicated Mercury Retrograde passages in quite some time in our Zodiac history. As our other planetary transits mix, mingle and communicate with our Messenger, we are truly receiving some intense lines of energy from above down here below to assimilate into our spiritual beings. Truly, there could not be a more pertinent time to be on your astrological toes, and know precisely how this passage is directly affecting your natal and collective charts.

Mystical Messages?
As soon as Mercury entered Sagittarius upon 29 October, he made a Direct Square to Neptune, (who has already been in reflection mode in Pisces since early June). This is one aspect that is making quite a force for the collective mentality to handle, as especially when it streams from mutable signs, much distress is seemingly created within our communications. With no grounded energies for our mentality and inner realms to grab on to, the tendency to gravitate to pure anxiety is all too easy to get lost within. These chaotic swirls will continue to cast sensitive, changeable, and more than the fair share of unpractical realities. It is highly advisable to remain in common sense practices, for the tendencies for nervous exhaustion and slander is immensely huge under this particular aspect between Mercury and Neptune.

As Mercury only reaches 04 degrees Sagittarius where he will station before going Retrograde, the direct square to Neptune will have softened, but then will start to intensify the potential for restless activities again as he moves backwards. By the upcoming Solar Eclipse 13 November, he is right back again on that 0 degrees of Sagittarius, wherein a couple hours after our lunar kick-off, he will directly square Neptune currently over at 0 degree Pisces, who will be moving forward at least. Looking ahead to December, they’ll have one more meet up upon the 11th, when Mercury, will be totally back to forward motion. Ideally, the beauty of a Mercury/Neptune connection is the way it can open a genius gateway to the artistic and metaphysical perceptions, but under a square, this must be done in silent practices far removed from chaotic environments to be able to properly achieve the best results.

Next. A Solar Eclipse. 13 November
While Saturn, who entered Scorpio for the next couple of years in early October, is wasting no time in getting those lessons out there that are allowing the truth to transform the collective; we have another massive energy coming forth from Scorpio just as our Messenger will renter it. Solar Eclipses bring surges of new energies to unfold from the sign they go off within that can last for up to a years’ time. This one will be sending out a regenerative energy that is one of the most powerful plays of truth at the 21 degree of Scorpio. Mercury retraces his steps back over this Solar Eclipse degree point by 20 November, and will cross over it again moving forward by 03 December. Loads of changes wishing to reveal themselves will be strongly speaking as Mercury sorts himself out at this time as you’ll see the forward motion of what the Solar Eclipse will wish to bestow upon you, kick itself into high gear. (Check in with 13 Nov Lunar-O-Scope on Bellesprit!)

A Sunny Day clouded by Noodling Nodes. 16 November  
On a Universal 16 Day that says take in a true SILENT LISTEN, Mercury Retrograde reaches back to 26 degrees Scorpio forming a close conjunction to the Sun at 25 degrees Scorpio; an exact to the North Node at 26 degrees Scorpio while opposing the South Node at 26 degrees Taurus. What kinds of energies will this Zodiac conversation bring into being? Collective communications are sure to see at least a bit of optimism and a “sun-shiny” feeling over them- and the ability to adapt to whatever changes will toss themselves around can be easily reached. However, when you involve the heavier responsibility of attention to the North Node (where emotional grace and learning must be currently placed within the life to be able to receive the karmic opportunity to grow and improve), something emotional is bound to burst wide open. Especially at the 26 degree mark, which tell us of Partnerships– and how to take our ultimate patience with any kind of one on one relating within our lives. Avoiding the argument and walking away is highly advised, and tuning in further to what is meant to be learning from the experience beckons to be heard. Meanwhile, over in Capricorn on this date, you’ll have the Moon waxing right over Pluto creating more emotional turbulence and requirements of fortitude just as Mars sits on 29 degrees Sagittarius about to enter The Goat -where in on this tipping point degree- brings in more feeling-oriented distractions to handle with grace and courage.

Conclusions under The Shadow. A Lunar Eclipse. 28 November
The Shadow passage of this Mercury Retrograde passage will be just as telling as its’ Approach was, in where you may just feel, like things have not really returned to normal even though the Rx is over. And therein lies the truth of the matter. What we know, or thought we knew to be the truth, is not going to return to the comfort zones we once understood. Transformation for our world is officially 110% on.  As we release from the Lunar Eclipse at 06 degrees Gemini, who will be in a very weak conjunction to Retrograding Jupiter- the finalizations coming forth will increase our need for compassion upon this planet.  Another interesting conjunction from 08 degrees Capricorn also meets up upon this day between Mars and Pluto. This delicate formation intensifies energies to the potential of combative, impulsive, strict, and relentless forms of expression; wherein unscrupulous, fanatical, berserk and brutalities can be the outcomes if a thinking before you act practice is not adhered to. Under Lunar release of an Eclipse, it will be more than wise to carefully proceed.

Have we overloaded those astrological brain cells yet? This passage of Mercury Retrograde is one that will go down in our history books. The do’s and don’ts will be more than ever, completely and utterly necessary to listen to for this passage. What to do or not to do throughout 26 November? 

TO DO or NOT TO DO under Mercury REtrograde…
REmain in the eye of any possible 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.

Keep in Mind…
Try not to question everything at this time. And if you do, REflect in the actions and thoughts leading up to your DOUBT, and tell it please DO BUT OUT BUD. REmaining in the REsponse vs. the REaction will always manifest the positive energy to attract back to your free-will at any time. The more we can be flexible, the better results we see. Sometimes, it is taking that pause for a SILENT LISTEN that saves us.

With that all said, REmember too that it is your inner strength which must prevail through the free-will…. by remaining flexible and recognizing that change is nothing we should fear, you’ll REjoice.  The times to recognize simplicity are in full force of regenerating us, no matter what, we always can look around for something to be grateful for.

One of the great Lexigrams from MERCURY RETROGRADE says to YOU! GOT TO GO DO YOGA- and when a planet such as Mercury chooses to begin reflecting within Sagittarius, this practice couldn’t be more apropos to help ground any kind of mental energies wishing to spin out of control. This is the Mercurial calling in the here and now to remain the student, be willing to be educated and you’ll find victory, wherein your lfe, 04 degrees Sagittarius to 18 degrees Scorpio DARE YOU TO RETREAT, DARE YOU TO GO TRY OUT A GREAT COURAGE, and RECORD A MERCY DREAM TO CURE OUR RAGE.

REDO well, Dear Stars.

Namaste.

A Quick Word on The Messenger….

Mercury enters Sagittarius

29 October
2:18am EDT

 
As the approach to Mercury Retrograde began 18 October, the level in Scorpio continued to rise as Saturn’s presence within this sign calls forth responsibility for a long passage when it comes to understanding transformation within our lives.
 
For those in the Northeastern Unites States, Mercury’s present movement over the tipping point (crossing point of 29 degree of last sign to 0 degree of the next) from Scorpio to Sagittarius comes as precisely as Hurricane Sandy is making history. As always when dealing with the 29th degree, you have quite volatile energies at play, and with an ever changing planet like Mercury, it will cause some of them to seem highly out of control. (and let us not leave out the Full Moon that will be peaking later in the day).  Between the 29th degree and the actual calendar date of 29 October, the know of the emotional 29 here through the Chaldeans title of ‘Grace Under Pressure’ is ringing through loud and clear as the response necessary in the here and now. Respond with grace to whatever comes your way, or be ready to reel in the seas of emotions spinning out of control.
 
Our Messenger only starts his journey for a short passage within The Archer upon 29 October, where in swirls of independent, roving, aspiring and ever-aiming mentalities surface on the collective. What also is striking is the direct square to Neptune at 0deg Pisces, which undoubtedly is causing much of the chaotic swirls that are casting sensitive, changeable, and more than the fair share of unpractical realities. It is highly advisable to remain in common sense practices, for the tendencies for depression and nervous exhaustion is immensely huge under this particular aspect between Mercury and Neptune.

Even as he slows down and stations a couple of days before 06 Nov at the 04 degree of Sagittarius, this square energy to Neptune will be in full affect until after Mercury reenters Scorpio 14 November. When the act of thinking before you speak is the habit, Mercury is better able to seek pause and target superficial transitory, and inspired perceptions to come out to play verses dreamy, cunning, and absented minded foolishness.

The first portion of the Retrograde passage throughout 14 November will focus upon developing reflection, continuity and judgment; all of which the Messengers’ energy in The Archer naturally lacks. Mentalities may very well struggle for focus, as when one is not looking where they are going in a mutable fire sign, you can bet minds will run to the restless and scattered. Blunt and tactless conversations will be a plentiful.

One of the great Lexigrams from MERCURY RETROGRADE says to YOU! GOT TO GO DO YOGA- and when a planet such as Mercury chooses to begin reflecting within Sagittarius, this practice couldn’t be more apropos to help ground mental energies that will get too great of an urge to simply be out of control. Stay the student, be willing to be educated, and you’ll find genuine and honest victory here.

More to come soon on the dos and don’ts for our final Mercury reflective pass for 2012 that begins 06 November.

A Quick Word on The Idealist…

Venus enters Libra

28 October
9:04am EDT

Venus now finishes her visit with The Virgin, where she has been offering up pleasantries here in Virgo since 03 October. As she moves forward into Libra, she is more than right at home where The Scales balance it all out in your Zodiac Pie. Until 21 November, it’s time to enjoy the harmony that ideally should display itself within this area of the life.


Remember all the new beginnings that formed from the last New Moon in Libra 15 October?  You’ll find there will be even more beneficial ways to weigh the pros and cons of situations being freshly planted. With all the intensities arising from other areas of the Zodiac, look to Libra for your serenity and peace of mind. What is truly meant to be given that GREAT TRUE ATTITUDE of GRATITUDE for the genuine value already here?  See what kinds of reflective energies come through 09 November as Venus trines Retrograding Jupiter in Gemini at 14 degrees- who seeks to provide some channels of review and redo between these two areas of the life. Be ready for permanent changes to unfold.

Changes will be ongoing for this entire pass as Mercury Retrograde will be taking up in backwards motion 06 November, but this will be no time to remain in indecisive energies from The Scales perspective. By 15 November, just past our next New Moon and Solar Eclipse in Scorpio, our Idealist will have reached the 22 degree Libra New Moon 2012 mark, ultimately shedding some layers of light into what initiations have been springing up here. As always, make sure you do not legally sign or decide upon situations of true importance for long term success until after Mercury has gone Direct 26 November. (more to come on all those MRx details in our next entry.)

As Scorpio continues to deeply transform us all, this pass of Venus in Libra still allows the collective’s affections to easily engage in sociable, charming, and dignified energies- encouraging peaceful outcomes. As we must surrender to the transformative and healing power of truth that this year’s pass of Scorpio is bringing into our awareness so dynamically; Venus now asks us all to remind ourselves to see the incredible value that results from seeking to understand, then be understood.

FULL Moon in Taurus, 29 October

Regenerative Reflection

It’s that time of the year to welcome a release of energy where The Bull takes a stance in 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 so transformation can continue to be hard at work over where The Eagle soars. Just where in your life will this determined and persistent instinct wane throughout 13 November?
 

Moon enters Taurus
Monday 29 October, 2:15am EDT to Wednesday 31 October, 2:40pm EDT

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 patient energies of Taurus -the sign that consciously aims for security- we are now ready to allow an enduring and regenerative 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 feeling that may no longer be working optimally.

Full Moon, 29 October, 3:49pm EDT, 06 degrees Taurus
This offering from Taurus brings forth deep, intuitive, and sensuous feelings as our Lunar Light graces her luminosity with The Bull. 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.

For the Collective
This Full Moon offers us release at the 06 degree of Taurus, which makes for some wonderfully harmonious energy that brings forth an intense compassionate power to aide perception into what is leaving within our lives.  Remember co-operative and sympathetic acts require that Taurus PATIENCE -where I TAP IN AN ANCIENT PEACE PACE- which comes in super handy as our feelings are processed here. If you see from a more feminine perspective in view of this slice of life, you’ll find, there is love right there waiting to help you as well.

Furthering upon the peaceful ways release is possible with this lunation, is the flowing trine from Neptune in Pisces to our Sun and Saturn in Scorpio, as The Mystic planet also makes an easeful sextile to our Lunar Lady, all between intuitive water and grounding earthen energies. Add in Pluto in Capricorn’s sextile as well to our Sun and equal trine to the Moon: our outer planets are trying to communicate how much clearing thinking and discrimination is necessary so we can move forward in a visionary idealism. It’s time to take social issues very seriously, and feel our individual responsibility to them. Restrictions are no longer able to be tolerated between where The Eagle soars and The Fishes swim within the life- so make sure to make an effort to balance out here.

Lunar-O-Scope, Full Moon in Taurus, 29 October 2012
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 Taurus House, in particular where the 06-degree Taurus 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 cleansing within the next two weeks to follow. Properly embracing the reflection and completion in these areas until the next New Moon and Solar Eclipse upon 13 November will make the space in life for new later.

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 with what “ I Have.” How you earn your dollars may change. A worn-out sense of security is ready to say adios, so feel free to make positive choices here now- tossing out the unnecessary material in the home is ideal- shop now for bargains. Be responsible to your core and let your inner process retreat to the unknown like never before.

Taurus: It’s your month steady Bull to release an old worn out mask you wear showing who “I Am.” Tired and weary approaches wish for you to un-earthen your roots to them. We know you like slower changes, yet don’t resist this Universal blessing wishing to quickly find you! Avoid surgery over this lunation, take time to focus upon you and re-activate the self. Your partnerships say work harder and see how much your hopes, dreams and wishes really do come true.

Gemini: The logic now for both sides of you is to unite the energies within those unseen places and deeper ideas in your life where “I Process.” The spiritual, subconscious realms, and the psychological make-ups of life call to quiet your chatty self, and relinquish what is necessary from the past. Pay extra close attention to your nighttime dreams, they relate clues to your waking world. The way you serve the world ambitiously speaks to your public life to solidify goals here.

Cancer: Where “I Socialize” captures this lunar focus, so whatever may need to be cleared out, go with your gut here. Hopes and wishes are equally in need of re-examination. If a group or cause no longer works -don’t remain in your shell- allow those claws to release their grip. Do accept that possible unexpected invitation to socialize. Creatively, it is time to recognize your greatest wisdom yet, but, you first must remember to check-in where you believe you can.

Leo: Redefine what harvest, stability, and reward really mean to you within your career and public life where “I Structure.” Completion is ready to emerge within that forest you reign so well Lion. Equally, this is a prominent time to reflect upon promoting or starting-up a new business. A nice recognition comes your way if your proper legwork was done to receive it. Authority figures shift. The environments you responsibility nurture are able to transform into significant wealth.

Virgo: Inspiration fuels where you reflect upon your philosophies and where “I Believe.” Feel that urge to travel and take a trip Virgin? You may now reflect upon ones you’ve had, or how you can make plans for more perfect ones in the future- all broadening your view of the world at large. Revisit adventures that engage your expansion and renew educational pursuits.  There is no better time to know when you maturely think about your partnerships, you learn stability.

Libra: While you always weigh the pros and cons, now these focus upon your securities and investments where “I Transform.” Now is the ideal time to reflect upon future decisions for changes here. The doors are open to review the core parts of you desiring completion- feelings embark intensely within rebirth for you. Enjoy the passion in being friendly to those sexy feelings. Learning what you value most, brings more imagination to how you can better serve others.

Scorpio: Your partnerships- romantic or business, are where your probing abilities research the truth of the matter now where “I Relate.” You’ve been already wondering what should stay or go here, and now is the time to make the space. People you reflect upon over this waning period are of special importance to future successes. It is the time to know a slow patient process of change is around you, and if you allow some creative time, you’ll reap the reward to honor them.

Sagittarius: Aim your arrows towards your health Dear Archer, and feel the improvement where “I Serve.” Let go of self-deceiving habits to bring in some renewed feelings of honesty for yourself. Your service others has also been in the process of naturally reworking itself- toss out old worn-out routines and look to let go of old patterns where you are employed. Time alone really sends home some important messages on how to nurture your environments better.

Capricorn: While an ambitious pursuit is welcomed, your creative nature now desires your full attention for this request to release Old Goat where “I Create.” Perfection is never too far away, and whatever your current project involves, it asks to reassess your inspired ideas. Playful feelings surround you- share time with kids or “brain children.” Somehow, where you socialize awaits your innate thoughts on how to be more responsible to hopes, dreams and wishes.

Aquarius: Ready to re-invent in the home Water Bearer where “I Nurture?” Reflecting upon improving this area of the life allows your individual way of doing things to flourish all the more later. Family time is rewarding. Your prophetic nature gets a boost from those déjà vu experiences, whose messages are of importance. The responsibility ahead in your public life is softened by the know that what you have is going to bring in an idea to earn more through it all.

Pisces: The waters your mentality swims in Dear Fishes now find some recycle time, as these are ready to absorb some review like a sponge where “I Communicate.” Short trips linger in the mind, and how to make them even more satisfying! Your intuition logically reveals what should not remain rooted in your thinking. Siblings or neighbors capture your attention too. Just being responsible to your core and over all wealth makes sure all of your first impressions make sense.

Lunar-O-Scope, 15 October, New Moon in Libra

NEW Moon in Libra, 15 Oct 8:02am EDT

Accepting Intuition

This New Moon in Libra offers the opportunity for true forward motion in this area of the life since October 2010, as Saturn’s responsible presence here has offered up a slowing and patient pace. Now that he has moved on to toil where The Eagle soars, be ready to bring balance back and peaceful resolve where The Scales seek justice within your Zodiac Pie. Be open to a fresh path of friendly light to bestow diplomatic, tolerant, and sincere feelings throughout this Waxing Phase until 29 October.

Moon enters Libra 13 October 7:02pm EDT to 15 October 8:06pm EDT
When you have our Lunar Lady passing through the balance of The Scales, we have the ideal opportunity for comparison and co-operation to emerge within our lives. By tapping into a sensitive instinct, there isn’t a better Moon passage that so seemingly perfectly gravitates to peaceful, hospitable, charming, and friendly feelings. The emotional imagination becomes refined, as it eagerly looks to please and engage in harmonious channels. Be aware however of any possible lazy, evasive, and co-dependent reactions.

New Moon in Libra, 22 degrees, 15 Oct 8:02am EDT
As with any New Moon our feelings have the capacity to become fresh, and take on some initiating energies to bring improvements to our emotion bank accounts. The area of life that 22 degrees Libra falls in your natal birth chart, is the one which you will be able to see a new light emerge within, followed by a uniting process as this energy grows through this half of your Zodiac Pie. The intuitive perspectives of life easily come through this 22 energy as we wax, increasing in the light for the next two weeks leading up to the Full Moon upon 29 October.

For the Collective

This is one New Moon that brings forth an energy promoting the new, yet equally asks for reflection as this lunation occurs, it initiates a Moon Void-of Course. Each pass of our Moon through every Zodiac sign casts off a Void-of-Course passage as it makes it’s last major aspect to a planet before concluding the transit.  Until it enters the next sign, we are asked to not initiate under these periods for successful outcomes. Once this Waxing phase enters Scorpio 12 hours after our New Moon, we’ll have clearance to move forward with our plans.

At the 22 degree of Libra, there is another reflective request to unite both imagination and sensitivity to nurture a master foundation, just awaiting to blossom something innovative in the area of life it lives. There is more wisdom to reap from being submissive and utilizing caution for each step of this balancing act. What is it that needs to newly be allowed into being here, as you equally recognize that you no longer need to remain tolerant? Reward is found when this task is  pondered further.

LUNAR-O-SCOPE, NEW Moon in LIBRA, 2012

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 Libra House, in particular where the 22-degree Libra 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 29 October will plant energies in place for future use.

Aries:
Take a look outside yourself where “I Relate,” personal or business oriented. This initiates a period that brings victorious structure to this area of the life after the sense of being delayed and slow moving in the past couple years. While you are normally fearless to strike up conversation, the ability to flirt away at present is strong, and matters of love are on your mind-. A wonderful time to embrace new co-operative acts, know they most certainly are for you!

Taurus: Like you haven’t been reminded over the past year to bring improvements to your routine, personal habits, and health Dear Bull, where “I Serve.” We know you like to take your time, but you can expect to see impressive energy truly moving forward here.  Look at the way you are being of service to others, there is a fresh way to take your stance to do so. Forget about remaining in resistance to change, for these are just in time to bring a new balance to you.

Gemini: The Twins are definitely ready to make something new where “I Create!” An artistic or creative adventure just awaits your cleverness to engage it. Children can be on your mind, or require your focus now. A new love affair may also be entering upon the stage of your life, and this one is one to pay attention to. You feel solidarity here when you submit to knowing your intuition is how you attract to the stage of your life- and utilize caution before uniting in one.

Cancer: While home and family are always on the Crab’s radar concerning where “I Nurture,” it’s time to find new ways to blossom here now. Harmony awaits to find you where you refuel. Saturn didn’t always make it seem easy here in the past couple years, but remember what you learned from experience within all of your environments and be ready for a fresh course of action to now unfold. You just love a good déjà vu- instinctive messages are easily channel to you.

Leo: Time to even out the score where “I Communicate,” your Royal Highness. As Saturn’s patient pace here since late 2010 asked to listen wisely- these learning experiences have steadily taught you just that. Positive thoughts see positive results as now a true moving forward returns opening doors wide to write, educate, or learn. Siblings and neighbors also offer up rewarding energies. A mighty and justified roar is heard within your new thinking, mind, and brave heart.

Virgo:
No need to fuss or worry about what “I Have!” Let this be the first thing to logically bring a new energy to- for Saturn has completed his duty here as your value system saw a slow and methodical restructuring since late 2010. A harvest within your career comes up with more abundance, contributing further to what you earn. Claiming your securities as if they are already yours lets the Universe know you have no fear. Start by treating yourself to something new.

Libra:
It’s your turn Dear Scales to be in the lead of the gathering light, you’ll do this perfectly from your sense of “I Am.” Remember, new approaches to life say hello right now, these wish to bring a fresh face to how the world grabs its’ first impressions of you, as Saturn did his best to slowly change these since late 2010. While it’s always a pretty mask you wear, you really feel at peace with trying some different shades and hues that will enhance your immediate perceptions.

Scorpio: You’re quite comfortable in the subconscious realms that this Moons’ energy wishes to take you to regal Eagle where “I Process.” You’ve been wise to not deny the retreat from the world, as you have been with a deep responsibility to your inner world and dreams for a couple years. As this area of life is activated now by a go ahead to completely move forward, you find some amazing resolutions for the spirit. Enjoy knowing that a healing process has completed.

Sagittarius:
Your attention to friendships and organizations has certainly been requested from you since late 2010, and you have been wise to focus upon where “I Socialize.” The recent roles you’ve learned about in groups allow your dreams even more room to blossom. You’ve prepared for an ultimate responsibility here that will have you now aiming your hopes and wishes into places you didn’t even know could be targeted. Unexpected invitations: take people up on them!

Capricorn: Cast off the worry old Goat. What you love so much –work, toil, and career- have been amidst a long patient process of change where “I Structure.” Those heavy feelings around since late 2010 about where your public life is headed; now ambitiously embrace the answers you’ve been waiting for. Your purpose, mission, and reputation have restructured for the long term as well as your overall stance upon authority. What now shows up differently here, is right.

Aquarius:
Responsibility has been visiting your philosophical outlooks since late 2010, creating changes even the prophetic thinker like you couldn’t foresee coming where “I Believe.” There’s an important a trip you are about to embark upon -even if it is only in the mind- a fresh pursuit wishes to bring your aims to higher education. As Saturn recently and patiently curtailed old worn out beliefs, it’s now time to allow some new ones in for you to keep originating within.

Pisces: Time to bring some new life to any lingering financial revisions where “I Transform.” Investments, taxes, inheritances, shared/joint resources- any of these have good energies coming in to balance things properly. Remember however, Saturn did not reward impulsive or greedy decisions here since late 2010. Equally, there is a new current of intimacy taking you to some lively waters in this area, intuitively allowing you to swim near some purely sensual waves.

A Quick Word on The Pioneer….

Explore The Wheel!

Mars enters Sagittarius

06 October
11:21pm EDT


Our Pioneer has set the stage for Mercury and Saturn since 23 August, and now brings motivation and drive to where The Archer aims within the life throughout 16 November. Desires become impulsive here and endurance and stability must be cultivated in order to reap the rewards of finding the spontaneous energy that is meant to be mobilized. While frank, self-righteous and even at times defiant attitudes may be displayed, be sure to respond with optimism, enthusiasm, and aspiration to curtail the ego’s argumentative reactions. When speculative, exploratory, inspired, and swift methods are utilized to combat conflict here, this free-will’s response of courage is highly rewarded.

As we see such a penetrating planet as Mars journeying within the realms of the Mutable Fire Sign Sagittarius, you definitely want to check in with your personal piece of the Zodiac Pie to know where to expect actions to come at you that may need that necessary response of patience. Even though our Archer is a truly “happy sign,” when Mars is present within this area of the life, let’s just say the tendency to stimulate anger issues and unconsidered slapdash reactions are all too easy to surface. Tongues are caught more often than not in instantaneous blunt retorts, which may result in the tasting of the foot as well. (should make for a swell remainder of the USA’s debate season, don’t you think?) As always with Mars, rising up in COURAGE to CURE OUR EGO and CAGE OUR RAGE is the key to claiming our victory.

Mars -aside from his courage and fighting spirit- equally sees over sudden changes and endings within the life, so be sure to recognize what may be looking for release or brought to conclusions here. All kinds of momentous energies are on high alert. As Mars recently set the props in place for this historical time Scorpio, now he also will be giving you clues as to what is coming up to ponder in review under the next Mercury Retrograde passage beginning 06 November, (even more fun for the USA’s politician as this is also Election Day, can we say REcounts anyone?). Mars will reach 04 degrees within The Archer by 13 October, which is the very degree point our Messenger begins his journey of reflection upon.

As always, a little “quick guide” from above via the collective feel to take a peak down here below, as to where you can expect to experience Mars getting things sparked up and motivating while he visits with Sagittarius. Remember if you know your natal chart, read for your Rising Sign as well for more personal advice. Knowing the early degree points of the upcoming Mercury Retrograde in Sagittarius, it is best to consult a professional astrologer to see how this sensitive passage will be precisely affecting you.
