Virgo Full Moon March 1 - Thoughts Become Things

The Sun in Pisces illuminates visions and dreams while the Moon in Virgo spotlights attention to the body and health matters. When they combine with a Full Moon this coming Thursday, March 1, we should see some specific examples of how our thoughts effect our physical body and environment. Make a point of listening to uplifting music and avoid negativity - you will see it does you good like medicine!

On Sunday, March 4, the Sun will conjunct Neptune making it an Anything Can Happen Day. Neptune dissolves boundaries and when the Sun energies this pattern we never know what may float in. You may find yourself feeling lost and without focus but you might also have some unusual and inspirational insights. The key message here is that we are all one, no boundaries to separate us, so do unto others as you would be done by.

On this same day, Mercury, the planet ruling the mind, will be teaming up with Venus, the goddess of love in Pisces which could bring us poetry in motion - but beyond sweet dreams you can't count on this combo to manifest anything too concrete. Make plans but avoid being the victim of a smooth talker and don't pay any money up front!

Saturn, the harsh reality planet, is in it's home sign Capricorn meaning we're involved in an intense Awakening to Reality cycle this year. I can remember as a young teenager thinking "Enlightenment" would be a grand thing even though I had no idea what it might mean. Now the whole world is speeding towards enlightenment and it's not the happy feeling anticipated. Enlightenment means the lights are being turned on and we're seeing how the world really works - how we've trusted those who didn't have our best interests at heart and how thoughts and prayers alone don't change anything. Enlightenment doesn't mean we are instantly wise and all knowing, indeed, I'm beginning to think it means we come to realize just how little we know.

But knowing you don't know is a good place to start. The next step with Saturn is to affirm, "The buck stops here." When we accept responsibility and acknowledge how our own actions have led to our current situations we then can see how we have the power to change them.

You've got the power!

Is Your Dream Big Enough?

When we talk about making dreams come true, we tend to think in terms of specific things - like, "I'm dreaming of owning a sports car" - but things are goals, not dreams. Dreams are not one particular thing, but a whole life style. When we dream at night we don't see just one picture, we see a movie - a movie in which we're both the director and the star. By recognizing that our waking life is also a dream that we are creating, we are empowered to make it more aligned with our true wishes.

To live the life/movie of your dreams there are some very specific things you can do to make this happen. Particularly surround yourself with the appropriate scenery, costumes and props because just as what you surround yourself with during the day is likely to show up in your dreams at night, the things you surround yourself with will also attract more of the same in your waking life. We all know people who collect certain items. They probably didn't start out saying, "Oh I'm going to collect china frogs" but rather they probably happened to have one and a friend saw it and gave them another and then someone else saw them and added a third and before long everyone thinks this person wants  frogs and so, even if they hate them, they keep getting more and more. Like attracts like. So what ever you're wanting your dream/movie to be, start manifesting it by surrounding yourself with images and symbols - physical props - of what you do want more of. If you are wanting to manifest more money, carry a silver dollar.  If you are wanting to go to Hawaii,  wear a paper lei and start living on Island Time. Whatever you have is drawing more of the same to you, so have in your head and in your hand only what you want to attract more of.

  This works because the Universe is all about energy, frequency and vibration. If you want to manifest something, your energy has to be on the same frequency as what you wish to manifest. If you are depressed and want to manifest happiness you will not be drawn to happiness by focusing on negative thoughts. Plus to be drawn to happiness when you are down you need a dream that is bigger than your current circumstances. Your dream has to be bigger, stronger, more compelling, to pull you out of your funk. To make your vision a powerful magnet it must be a really big dream!

 After all, a  teeny tiny magnet doesn't have much pull and likewise a small dream wont keep your focus either. To draw you out of your old ruts and forward, the magnet - the dream - needs to be about 3x bigger than the life - the movie - you are acting in right now. In fact, your dream should be so big that you wont even be able to complete it in this lifetime - it should be so big you probably wont complete it for three lifetimes!

Play with the three lifetimes idea a bit and see what happens. Our dreams are so often toned down, squelched, to fit what we think of as being possible and we greatly underestimate what the possibilities are. A senior citizen may say, "Oh I wanted to be a teacher but it's too late for me to get a credential now..." But if this person considers what they might do in three lifetimes, suddenly going back to school now doesn't seem so absurd. This happened with a sixty-three year old friend of mine and no sooner did she sign up for classes than she was offered a teaching job at a private school - no credential required! Another friend was inspired by the Three Lifetime's Rule to take up playing the piano even though she knew her dream of being a concert pianist - which needs about 20,000 hours of practice - wouldn't be realized this time around. Still, imagining that her efforts might lead to being born a musical prodigy in the next lifetime gave her the incentive to begin her studies - which are bringing her great happiness already.

So don't wish for small things. Small doable things make good goals but to create the life of your dreams you need to think way big. So big it will take several lifetimes and many miracles to make your dream come true. But don't worry about the time, because you'll discover you don't mind your current beginner's status when you recognize you are on an adventure to a glorious future - even if it's a few lifetimes away!

Planetary heads up:

The Moon will go into Taurus for a couple of days February 20 -22. This is good for practical matters and creating arrangements that make for a smooth energy flow. You can't please everyone but on these days you may come close.

Venus joins up with Neptune the morning of the 21. This sounds like a warm fuzzy but it could manifest as harsh reality creating confusion. If so, wait a day or two to let things sort themselves out.

Dream on!

Aquarius New Moon Brings The Year of The Dog

Seems like it's all happening at once this week. We've got Mardi Gras, Valentine's Day, Ash Wednesday, a Lunar New Year, a partial eclipse, two major sign changes and a couple of very tricky squares coming up. Whew, I think I need a nap.

Here are some tips for how to navigate this maze:

First, send Valentines. A lot of people have stopped sending Christmas cards mainly because they got to be so common, so required, that sending them ceased to be a delight and became more like a chore. Yet getting a card in the mail is still such fun so why not show your Aquarian eccentricity and let a few close buddies feel your love? In fact, go way outside the box and even send flowers to your very best buds!

Next tune into the power of this up coming New Moon and Partial Solar Eclipse happening in Aquarius Thursday, February 15.  Aquarius is a sign known for promoting cool detachment so when the Moon is in this sign it encourages friendships based on mutual mental interests rather than romance. It can be a time of delightful gatherings of like minded souls - just don't expect people to get along because they are family or because it's polite of for any other reason than simply because they want to. The eclipse adds even more intensity to this planetary placement so it may be a difficult couple of days for making important decisions - people may vote against their own best interests just to prove they can.

The Lunar New Year starts on Friday, February16. In Chinese astrology this begins The Year of The Earth Dog. Dogs are known for being trustworthy and loyal so the Year of The Dog is supposed to have a much more stable feel to it than what we experienced in 2017. I sure hope so...

Saturday, February 17, we have a puzzling square from Mars to Neptune. Mars rules ambition and goal seeking while Neptune creates confusion and fog. When the two come together it's easy to get lost so double check directions and instructions this week. Probably not a good time to start tackling your taxes.

If that weren't confusing enough, Mercury enters Pisces the same day. Mercury rules information while Pisces is better at dealing with emotions. When Mercury is here it can be good for listening to music and whispering a lot of Sweet Nothings, but again, be careful to get your facts straight.

The week comes to a close with a yearning for peace and harmony.  First Venus and then the Sun will be moving into Pisces and nobody is going to feel particularly ambitious after that. If you must do something productive consider having a garage sale. The Pisces Sun will make you feel like dispersing all your material goods and even if you don't make the Big Bucks, Venus in Pisces will make you feel good for providing for some needy souls.

Have a great week, Dog gone it!

Venus into Pisces: Manifesting The Life of Your Dreams

 I just returned from a workshop on The Art of Manifesting, Along with the usual suggestions about affirmations and vision boards the speaker had some unique ideas I now want to share with you..

According to Elizabeth Mac Nair, the author of The Little Old Lady's Bank Account - a Guide to Living Well at Any Age, there are six key things to know to make your dreams come true.

!. The first thing is to make sure your ultimate goal is happiness.
 We usually aim to manifest very specific things like a car but Elizabeth pointed out that we only want these specific things because of what we hope they will lead to - such as wanting to manifest a car because it would give us mobility - but we then must consider what getting our wish might then lead to after that. Why do we want mobility - perhaps to travel cross country? - and then why we'd want to travel cross country and what we hope that might lead to and so on until ultimately we realize that what we are truly wanting is not necessarily any specific thing but something that we think will bring us to our greatest goal, happiness. It's very important that one be clear the ultimate goal is happiness. Otherwise we could manifest a car that causes nothing but trouble. So the first Law of Manifestation is..
Choose happiness first.

2. The second most important rule can be summed up in the wise old saying,

 "Be careful what you wish for because you are liable to get it."

Along with this idea she mentioned the doctor's oath, "First do no harm." The point is that we need to carefully consider the ramifications of what we are aiming for and to beware the law of unintended consequences. This goes along with the initial counsel that we make happiness our focus and so when defining a wish always maintain the understanding that you are intending to manifest your vision "OR SOMETHING BETTER."

3. What we wish for ourselves we must first give to others.

This is  like "Do unto others what you would have others do unto you." It's also where the conversation started to get a bit hard to follow but she made important points. For us to believe it is even possible for good people to help us, we have to prove to ourselves that such people even exist - and we do this by being the good helper ourselves. Thus, if you are wishing for the ideal job, become the ideal employer. You don't have to start a Fortune 500 company to do this. Simply giving a hard working waitress a generous tip makes you a generous employer - and cues your unconscious to seek out similar souls who will likewise be good to you.

4. Have all your wishes in alignment.

This is really important. We did an exercise where we were to write down in one column all the reasons we wanted the thing we hoped to manifest. In another column we wrote all the reasons why it might serve us NOT to have it manifest. After we did this she read aloud some of examples.. One woman in the group wanted to finally write her novel. For why she might not want this to happen she noted it would take time and she was very busy. Well! Not hard to see how that concern would block her every time she got a hankering to pick up a pen! Another person said she wished her boyfriend would get serious and propose. Then she noted that he was allergic to dogs and she had a poodle! Of course the relationship stayed stuck - if he proposed she'd have to make a decision about her dog which she definitely didn't want to do! And so it went and we saw how every unfulfilled wish had some significant reason for it to be blocked. In fact, Elizabeth explained that to manifest the item in the first column, there really shouldn't be anything - no resistance! -  in the second column. What was amazing to me was how often the person expressing the wish did not grasp how their block was what prevented it. What seemed like an obvious block to the rest of the class didn't seem to be a block to the person who wrote it. Guess that's why we need friends to point these things out to us.

5. Create a deadline.

All our dreams will manifest "someday" but unless we give ourselves a deadline that someday may not even be in this lifetime! Tell yourself you wish to manifest something in 48 hours and then you'll see some action.

6. Acknowledge success.

Getting a "Thank you" seems to be really important to The Universe. Say your prayers and specifically mention all the miracles you witnessed through out the day, whether they had to do with your particular wish or not. You'll see more miracles tomorrow...

Wishing you many manifestations of happiness!

Ursula Le Guin and The Wizard of Earthsea

Ursula Le Guin has passed away at 88. The award winning author of the classic, The Wizard of Earthsea, was the aunt of one of my dearest friends. Her gentile genius broke new ground in science fiction writing and she will be sorely missed by all who knew her through her words and in person. God speed to you Ursula.

The big event this week is a very rare Aquarius Full Moon on Wednesday, January 31. Usually the Full Moon marks a time of bringing things to a natural sense of completion, but this week that may be darn near impossible because our emotional reactions could blow everything out of proportion. Indeed, this Moon in Leo opposing the Sun in Aquarius signals a time for taking a much needed break from work. You're not going to feel like following anyone else's orders so give the job routine a rest. Aquarius rules friends and peers so take some time to relax with your pals and be yourself. Live in the moment and enjoy this time out. When the Sun is in Aquarius it's important to focus on your social life as it can refresh you and lead to new contacts. Too much emphasis on work and ambition leads to competition and that not only makes relaxation impossible it also alienates everyone. Of course, Aquarians don't easily fit in with groups anyway, so if you find yourself feeling the sense of being an outsider who doesn't belong - which is so much a part of the Aquarian experience - remain composed and wait it out. You may have to put on a happy face and go along to get along but this wont last long. Meanwhile, get a drink and a bite to eat and enjoy your friends. 

If your birthday happens to fall on or near January 31 or August 3, this eclipse will fall on the same degree as your natal Sun and could be an indication that 2018 will be a turning point in your life (give me a call for more details).

Later on January 31, Mercury - the planet of communication - ventures into Aquarius for the next three weeks. News travels fast when Mercury is in this sign and you may find yourself coming up with lots of unusual ideas and insights. Keep a pencil handy cause the thoughts can go as fast as they come.

By Friday, February 2, the Moon will have slipped into hard working Virgo and will be making a very productive trine to generous Jupiter. Any pressing tasks that were ignored earlier in the week should be easily completed now.

Aquarian thought for the day:

Don't bother just to be better than your contemporaries or predecessors. Try to be better than yourself!

 - William Faulkner

Love to all,

Mercury + Pluto = The Nuclear Option?

The Sun is in Aquarius now, so the focus is on groups more than individuals for the next three weeks. Thus Congress is more in the spotlight than usual and the president and individual elected officials are only important in relation to how they can effect Congress' final decisions. As I write this the two parties can't agree on a budget to keep the government going so Congress has shut it down. This makes sense when we consider where the planets are now.

The big aspect to watch this week is Mercury joining Pluto in Capricorn on Wednesday January 24. This is an incredibly powerful aspect as Mercury, is the ruler of the mind and word, the vibration that links intention (Sun) with manifestation (Earth). Mercury takes an idea, puts it into words and spreads it like seeds till something catches hold and grows. When Mercury is In harsh, realistic Capricorn, only the words that are clear and to the point will propagate. If there are lies or exaggerations they will be quickly spotted because Mercury in Capricorn is only interested in the facts. This focus creates a magnetic force that draws to it what ever it is seeking. Ordinarily this Mercury in Capricorn event might indicate people becoming interested in gathering ordinary facts - like wanting to get their taxes straight or wanting to do something to simplify bookkeeping, and so this aspect could manifest in looking for and finding people who can help us in simple factual tasks - but this week when Mercury cycles through hard core reality Capricorn, it will be further challenged to get to the bottom of things because it will be aligning with Pluto, the planet ruling deep research into Life and Death and Transformation.

We see this pattern starting to manifest in the current government shutdown happening on Capital Hill. Unable to get our representatives to simply look at the reality of our country's situation and come up with a balanced budget, our congress men have instead indulged in lies and misrepresentations and now Pluto says," the buck stops here." I assume that once we get past this exact aspect on Wednesday there will be some sort of rebirth of a budget but I also expect that it will be quite different - transformed - from the ideas guiding the first one.

The Moon will enter Gemini Friday afternoon and after a fierce philosophical battle with Mars in Sagittarius we can look for some sort of successful coming to terms when it trines the Aquarian Sun Friday evening. Will the government be back and up and running by then? I hope so. Certainly the opportunity is there if that's what people want. However, if the officials who are voting for laws that are out of step with the majority consciousness, refuse to reconsider their positions, these planetary line-ups could indicate people losing faith in the government entirely to the point where the shutdown is allowed to continue and - uh-oh - people just may discover they don't need a government at all!

What if they gave a war and nobody funded it?

New Moon in Capricorn - We Shall Overcome.

Planets in Capricorn don't start things at the bottom, they start them in the basement. This week we have FIVE of the ten planets we look at all lined up in this sign of harsh reality. It signifies a time when we don't seem to have a whole lot of options and indeed many of you have been calling me asking "When will I catch a break?" The good news is we're all in this stuck-hole together so we might as well just lay back and enjoy the ride.

If you're finding yourself surrounded by obstacles that you cannot overcome, the first thing you must do is steady yourself before taking action. The Moon, the Sun, Mercury, Venus and Pluto are all in Capricorn meaning now is the time to stabilize and allow for a new perspective to come into focus. Particularly remember Capricorn is the opposite sign from moody Cancer so you're more powerful when you stay rational this week and don't let emotions take over. Much of the turmoil in the news these days has been caused by reporters "catastrophising" every story. "If it bleeds it leads" is the bottom line it seems, and I for one am done with having my feelings manipulated. Mercury in Capricorn helps you be rational, so instead of reacting with disgust or outrage the next time you read Trump's latest tweet or even when you are considering difficulties in your own life, take a step back and consider your alternatives. I just saw an article about how our bodies are wired to reward us with a zap of dopamine - the chemical that makes us feel good - every time we do certain things. We get huge jolts of it from clicking away on our computers - and even more when we shop online. So the big corporations know that if they can just keep feeding us these hair raising stories while also promising solutions if we'll only purchase the right pills or donate to the right politician, we'll keep coming back and eventually....buy something! It's the old "create a need and fill it" scam. But now the game has gone on for so long and obviously the horror stories are never going to stop, that we're reaching a point of being totally burned out and feeling it's all hopeless. Fortunately a long with showing us how bad it's gotten, these planets in Capricorn are also showing us the way out.

Capricorn is the sign of responsibility as in "the ability to respond." As we recognize that our power comes from our ability to choose what we respond to and how, we are able to regain control of our lives. (Interesting that Capricorn rules the knees and people who do not control their responses are said to have "knee-jerk" reactions.) Enlist sensible Mercury to describe your circumstances in the most straight forward and honest terms. Avoid the temptation to use words that create worry and fear, instead keep a positive outlook by frequently telling yourself "I can do this!" Venus in Capricorn rewards us when we set realistic (a favorite Capricorn word) short term goals for ourselves.

The New Moon falls on Tuesday January 16. Make this the month you will be the one who decides how to shape your life. We can either retreat into denial and boredom, or courageously go forward. The second half of this week looks like we'll have some opportunities for breakthroughs when the Sun will go into Aquarius on Friday, January 19, so...

Let the Sun shine in!

Jupiter Aligns with Mars - Dawning of the Aquarian Age?

When the Moon is in the seventh house,

And Jupiter aligns with Mars,

Then peace will guide the planets,

And love will steer the stars.

- Aquarius

The Moon is in the 7th house or sign, Libra, this week as Mars and Jupiter join up in Scorpio. Is this the long awaited dawning of the New Age as predicted in the song  Aquarius? If so, what do the planets tell us about this next cycle and how can we best harmonize with its powerful flow?

We have a rare Sun-Venus-Pluto conjunction happening in Capricorn this week. This means the planets of Life. Love and the Power to Transform are uniting in the sign of our Collective Reality. It portends many astonishing realizations hitting home. In fact, it just about guarantees that everything we've believed about who we are, our value, our limits and all that other Capricorn stuff is getting a mind blowing update. Those stuck in old rigid thinking may be filled with fear as promises get broken, appointments are missed and everything seems open to interpretation. On the other hand, those who can keep the faith, those who can keep sending out the reassuring love vibes with patience and expectation will experience awesome soul growth as we recognize the upcoming changes are necessary and can all be for the good.  A lot of hidden truths will be coming to the surface - like the song says, "no more falsehoods" - and the more we can allow this purification process to clear the old, the more easily the new possibilities will emerge. Vow to be the change you want to see in the world - you'll have proof this is how it works by the end of the month. Maybe by the end of the week when the Moon will be in Sagittarius, the sign of beliefs, trining Uranus bringer of enlightenment.

If there is one piece of advice I would like to give you it's, 'Don't let this week's amazing opportunities pass you by!" Turn off your computer (but not until after you read me, of course), stop obsessing over Trump, and get out there and make your move! The strong emphasis in Capricorn means this is the time when the rubber meets the road. Do something to make your dreams more real. One easy, cheap and powerful gesture is to order new business cards highlighting the person you are becoming. Another powerful symbol is to carry a check in your wallet made out to you and signed, The Universe. Jim Carey made out a check to himself for $10,000,000 and carried it with him for a year. He was broke at the time but before the year was up he had been given a multi-million dollar movie contract.

The Age of Aquarius is a time for new rules and independent thinking. Those who are not strong enough to accept responsibility for the lives their thinking has created, who continue to blame others or the government rather than looking within, will become powerless victims for the power now will be with those who recognize AND USE the laws of karma and The Law of Attraction and become the intentional co-creators with God we were created to be.

It starts now.

New Year's Resolutions That Will Change Your Life.

Are you still making the same old resolutions? A recent survey shows the top three resolutions made each year are to lose weight, clear out clutter and to pay off credit card debt. A close fourth is to learn a foreign language.

Question: Is anybody actually doing any of this?

No? I didn't think so.

Why not? Why is it we so often start out animated and yet so quickly lose focus, become discouraged, bored and give up?

The answer may be in the stars..

Consider, while we think of January 1st as the first day of a new year, this date is not connected with any particular planetary activity or support. In the past, ancient civilizations like Babylon used the spring equinox to celebrate the start of the new cycle. In Egypt, the new year began in mid-July with the rising of the fixed star Sirius. These dates had an astrological justification for planning new beginnings but we go by a calendar instituted by Julius Caesar that's not star based and thus the planetary line up on January 1 may or may not be conducive to keeping resolutions. Sometimes the planets are even arranged in a way that practically guarantees projects started on this day will flop.

So now let's consider what resolutions might have a chance given the placement of the stars this New Year.

First of all, we're having a Super Full Moon on January 1. Everything comes out in the open under a full Moon so this is an ideal time to recognize where we are and what we want our goals to be. Because this Moon is in Cancer, it naturally puts a focus on the issues of security with a particular emphasis on food and family. To come up with a resolution that will really work for you consider first how you can enhance these areas. As Cancer rules eating habits and it is a waning rather than a waxing Moon, this is a year when resolutions to trim down could finally get results. However, rather than resolving to go on some restrictive diet, consider that Cancer is a water sign and vow to DRINK MORE WATER. Particularly distilled water. That's right, the sort of water you usually use to put in your iron to keep it clean. Distilled water will do wonders for keeping your insides clean too. You can google it and read more about the amazing results people have experienced - including weight loss! - from drinking a gallon of distilled water everyday.

Uranus - the god representing your inner rebel - will be turning direct on Tuesday, January 2. Projects that have been stalled come back to life now but with a new twist. If you've had a hard time accepting the fact that our political leaders are not helping us, Uranus turning direct clears your head of  misplace trust and inspires you to BECOME SELF-SUFFICIENT.

Saturday January 6 could be the best day this week for making changes. The fierce god of action, Mars, will be in Scorpio, the sign of total transformation and he will be sextiling - offering his strength - to Jupiter, the god of good fortune. Affirmations and resolutions made on this day should have some staying power and net you beneficial results. Use it to not only pay off debts but to FIND NEW SOURCES OF INCOME. Plus Jupiter rules travel so don't just resolve to learn a foreign language, PLAN TO TAKE A TRIP.

Finally remember the magic of WRITING THING DOWN. Put your resolutions in writing, read them often and recognize when the Universe is aligning with you to male them manifest.

For a more detailed analysis of your potentials this year please give me a call.

Happy New Year!

Mars Trine Neptune: Finding Peace of Mind

It's been a tough year for many of us especially with the constant barrage of news stories popping up on our computers forcing us to be aware of all sorts of nastiness we can do little about. More and more I hear people claiming, "I just don't look at the news anymore," which is unfortunate of course, but what else can we do if we want to retain a modicum of sanity? Particularly while Mars, the planet symbolizing our individual energy and direction, is in Scorpio, the most intense of all the signs. It causes us to want to do something about all these wrongs and yet the highest expression of Scorpio says that ultimately the only way to control the outer world is to find peace within. This Wednesday night, December 27, Mars will be making a very beneficial trine to Neptune the planet of visions and dreams. It signals an opportunity to overcome Scorpio Mars' tendency to indulge in anger and instead to be finding that peace. Here's how:

First, celebrate silence. We've been bombarded with ads, carols and jingles this season to the point we've totally confused our inner ears. I'm feeling everyone needs a bit of downtime now to regain balance and think clearly. Find a place of solitude to quiet your heart and get in touch with the silence with in yourself. Assume you're going to need about 15 minutes to get the full benefit of this time out. That's how long it takes for the verbal side of the brain to calm down and let the intuitive side be heard.

Focus on gentle, natural breathing. Neptune encourages letting thoughts drift in and out without giving them importance. Even the people you normally recognize and care about should not be on your mind right now. Remind yourself everything is just an idea, a thought form and Neptune allows you to let all those thought forms dissolve and vanish and then, with the fog out of the way, Neptune enables you to connect with your deeper true inner knowingness.

 Particularly don't let New Year's traditional time of reflection bring you down. January 1 often causes us to stress about what we didn't achieve last year or to worry about what might happen in the months ahead. Vow to focus your attention on being in the here and now instead. Mars can urge us to look ahead to go fast, but Neptune can cause us to lose track of where we're going and why - so slow down and appreciate the moment. Instead of using your mind to think and churn and strategise, just let the thoughts come and go. At the end of your quiet time you may be blessed with some significant insight, but if not, that's okay too. The important thing is that YOU EXPERIENCE INNER PEACE by keeping still and now your body will continue to instinctively find this peacefulness path where ever you are even as you go about your daily routine in the outer world. Thus without thinking, planning or worry you will intuitively and peacefully do the right things and create the best possible outcomes.

You have to feel it before you can find it!

May 2018 be your best year ever!

Saturn into Capricorn - Time for a Reality Check

 December 19, 2017. That's the day Saturn enters Capricorn. Saturn symbolizes Shared Reality. That is, the world we all live in is a group construct made up of an infinite number of ideas and perspectives. Together all these thoughts form what appears to us to be solid. This phenomenon of a mass that appears to be real is symbolized be the planet Saturn. He rules structure, limits and responsibility. Capricorn is his home sign where he reigns most powerfully. This means that when Saturn is in Capricorn - and particularly when he first enters the sign - we are able to see where we are in the world without any rosy colored glasses. It's a time when we are called upon to be totally honest with ourselves. This may sound like a bad thing but in reality - Saturn's favorite word - it's a very good thing. It's a very good thing because it's only when we see ourselves and accept our situation exactly as it is that we can find helpful friends and make progress. If you call a cab you don't say, "Pick me up at the fancy hotel" if that's not where you are. No, you want the cab to know where you are so it can come get you, even if it's on a street corner on Skid Row. Likewise, when Saturn enters Capricorn it's often a time when we see where we've fallen short and could use some help - but it only comes when we can admit we need it.

A few things you can watch for to prepare for this important moment:

Know that Saturn in Sagittarius promoted a sort of philosophical attitude about reality. "Alternative facts" became the catch phrase of the day, suggesting reality was whatever we wanted it to be, that there were no Ultimate Truths. That's all over now. Once Saturn is in Capricorn we'll be finding out there are some truths that can't just be wished away. For one thing, the reality of Global Warming will be becoming more and more evident. In our personal lives whether we're denying our addictions or making vows we know we can't keep, the half truths we tell ourselves will no longer conceal our suffering. It's time to see it and tell it like it is.

Saturn in Capricorn tightens up rules, boundaries and restrictions. No wonder Trump's vision to build a wall and to restrict travel are at the top of his agenda now. We'll probably be seeing more governmental involvement [restraint] in other areas of our daily lives too in the months ahead. It would probably be good for us all to become more active in local politics. Free speech: Use it or lose it.

Saturn in Capricorn encourages - requires! - us to be self sufficient. Don't assume Big Brother is looking out for your best interests.

But Saturn in Capricorn can also be a very helpful vibration. Particularly when it comes to taking care of ourselves. At first we may feel a bit disoriented and only able to see what is lacking, what help we're not getting, rather than recognizing we have infinite potential  within to create and re-create. Once we get passed that glass-half-empty feeling though and start counting our blessings, Saturn in Capricorn can be our best teacher ever. The key to recognizing Saturn is our friend is to understand he does not punish but only sets boundaries. It's as if Saturn's job is to be the gate keeper that says, "You can't go any further until you do what you promised to do." So if you're feeling blocked or broke or anything other than happy, ask yourself, "What have I promised to do that I haven't done yet?" As you complete those commitments - or just make a start - then Saturn starts bringing the good karma and life starts moving forward again.

Good news:
Mercury turns direct on Friday evening December 22 just as the Moon in Aquarius is making a liberating sextile to Uranus in Aries bringing opportunities to release old limitations. Perhaps after looking at things realistically we come to recognize that things aren't so bad after all or that the burdens we've been carrying needn't be born alone. More reasons to rejoice come through on Friday night when the Moon sextile's Venus.

Altogether it looks like this is the week to honor Saturn by getting things in simple order by Thursday and then give yourself over to a wonderful holiday weekend on Friday.

Did you know Santa Claus is another symbol for Saturn? He knows if you've been bad or good and rewards you accordingly.
Be good for Goodness sake!

Mercury Conjunct Venus in Sagittarius: All is Merry and Bright

😊 Relax with a cup of egg nog folks and flow with what ought to be the most stress free week of the season...

On Tuesday , December 12, the Sun will be cozying up to retrograde Mercury meaning it's a grand time for reminiscing as we easily access pleasant memories of Christmas past. Send out bushels of Christmas cards to all your friends on this day and you're sure get blessings for helping the angels spread the holiday cheer.

On Friday, December 15 there will be a sweet meet up between Venus and Mercury opening the door for more good wishes. A Christmas party now will do a lot to revive our optimism. If you still have Christmas shopping to do this could be a day where you find the perfect gifts.

These tidings of great joy do come with a bit of a warning however. Mercury is the trickster who may not be counted on to be entirely honest and Venus in Sagittarius is known to love'm and leave'm. Enjoy the moment under the mistletoe but don't get carried away.

The illuminating Sun trines Uranus on Saturday, December 16, bringing the week to an exciting, surprising, unpredictable close. If you have been a bit lonely this season this planetary line could reveal opportunities. Welcome new friends, travel off your beaten path and expect the unexpected. Not a good day for trying to stick to a schedule but a fabulous time for miracles. Indeed, you may find yourself feeling you absolutely cannot continue with old ways that aren't working and guess what? If you decide to make changes now, new doors could appear and automatically open up!

All in all a week to remember old friends and encourage the new.

Happy holidays,

Rosada

Mercury AND Uranus Retrograde? Even Santa Gets Confused.

I feel like 2017 has been a great big box of crazy and here at the end of the year anything that didn't get thrown at us before is being tossed in now. And we still have four more weeks to go...

Here's what we're dealing with folks - the basic trends are explained by the placement of the 3 outer planets:

Pluto, the planet ruling secrets and sex known as the Lord of Death, Rebirth and Transformation, has been transiting Capricorn, the sign of government. We are now in the middle of this cycle and the awareness how corrupt and unworkable governments are cannot be ignored any longer. Donald Trump ran with the promise of "draining the swamp". His promise resonated with enough voters and the collective unconscious to get him elected. However, he's just a pawn in Pluto's game and Pluto doesn't play favorites. The swamp has hit the fan and everyone in the public eye from t.v. celebrities to Trump himself to is being exposed. This will continue through out 2018 so we can expect more inconvenient truths coming to light.

Next up, Neptune, the planet ruling dreams and illusions and also lies and deceptions continues to be powerful in his home sign Pisces. Neptune is responsible for bringing awareness of all the "fake news" - did anyone even know there was such a thing as fake news. before this year? - and also awareness of the less fortunate. A lot of stories this year have been about victims of all kinds from shootings to floods to sexual assault. Neptune says separation is an illusion and that we are all one. Stories of victims will continue to grow even more prominent in the new year nudging society to recognize what happens to one will eventually effect us all.

Uranus is the planet of free will and in Aries he particularly ignites issues having to do with individual freedoms, like free speech and the right to bear arms. He has been retrograde for several months and during this time harsh debate has been going on as to just what our freedoms are.
 
Mercury will also retrograde this month. Having both the planets that rule the mind moving backwards suggests finding answers by going within. Time for deep soul searching and deciding just what it is we truly believe in.

These outer planets set the tone for what manifests up close in our personal lives. With Pluto in Capricorn and Neptune in Pisces I think we're going to find the plight of the underdog will become more and more obvious as indeed more and more of us start to feel we ARE the under dogs. The good news is that Uranus in Aries encourages new ways of dealing with old problems. Independent thinkers will be rewarded. Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do to create a whole new country!

Confusing but exciting.

Liveliest days this week will be Thursday December 7 and Friday December 8.

Get a lot done and have a lot of fun doing it.

 Bingle jells!

Mars Opposition Uranus - Keep It Simple, Take It Slow.

The holiday roller coaster ride is gaining traction and this week's forecast alerts to the peaks and valleys that go along with it. It looks like this week is going to be full of ups and downs so fasten your seat belts and focus on the opportunities for joy and soften the possibilities for jolts.

A grumpy Mercury Saturn conjunction on Tuesday, November 28, might emphasize just how tired we are of all the holiday hype and leave us feeling we not only can't get everything done - we don't even want to. This Bah - Humbug! aspect can actually make things less confusing however, if you use it to help you simplify, make lists and keep expectations realistic.

Things will look a lot merrier and brighter on Wednesday, November 29, when a Sun-Moon trine in fire signs lights up our holiday spirit! Could be a good day to launch the season by sending off a stack of Christmas cards.

The good vibrations just keep coming on Friday, December 1, when Venus finally loses her fascination with dark, deep Scorpio drama and floats on into cheerful Sagittarius. Loving Venus in philosophical Sag brings a joyful feeling of good will and this well meaning energy will be with us all the way until Christmas.

That's a good thing to remember as also on Friday Mars will be opposing Uranus, which could trigger sudden disruptions.

But all is not lost! (I warned you this week was going to be full of ups and downs...) The Moon will be in sensuous Taurus on Friday and the final aspect will be a trine to rejuvenating Pluto. Looks to me that while we can expect some Mars/Uranus flare-ups, still a tasty dinner with some holiday sparkle is all that's necessary to heal bruised egos. Any business deals - or romances! - that may have appeared to be heading south this week have a chance to be renegotiated now.

One final warning:
This Mars - Uranus stand off is often associated with accidents, gun fire and all sorts of harsh stuff so do use caution this week. Fortunately there's one more miracle positive alignment coming together on Saturday, December 2. Jupiter will make an unusual once-in-twelve-years trine to Neptune which could go a long way to cushioning the harshness. Just be careful that warm fuzzy feelings don't inspire impulsive budget shattering Christmas shopping!

Ho x 3!

Sri Yantra - Shortcut to Enlightenment

"Sri Yantra" is the name of a geometric pattern made up of overlapping triangles. The shapes are arranged so that some of the triangles point upwards and others point downwards. Although often displayed on a banner in tandem with Buddhist and Hindu artifacts, the Sri Yantra can benefit anyone, not just those of a certain religious persuasion. Approach it as an eye exercise that strengthens the connections between the various centers in the brain. By looking at the figure while outwardly allowing the eyes to track from one triangle point to another, the mind begins to make internal connections too. After only one or two sessions of meditating on the Sri Yantra, people report significant improvements in their daily lives. Particularly one's timing seems to improve resulting in many happy coincidences like bumping into friends while shopping and finding perfect parking places. After a bit more practice one experiences thoughts and ideas quickly and easily manifesting into solid things. This is particularly encouraging for those of us who have tried visualization techniques without success.

To make the Sri Yantra work for you, have a clear image in your mind of what you would like to create, stare at the Sri Yantra for about ten minutes, and then..

Be amazed at how quickly your heart's desires come into being!

Also, for those interested in self improvement and spiritual work the Sri Yantra offers the possibility of completely releasing those old unconscious impulses that may have sabotaged conscious intentions - they simply lose the power to interfere.

If you are interested in learning more about the powers of the Sri Yantra, and even buying one of your own, google it and several informative sites will come up. However, although they are not expensive, you can easily draw one for yourself! As to what it "means", you can't really know that until you experience it.

The line up of planets this week are mostly upbeat giving several opportunities but also some important warnings.

We had a very harsh Mars square Pluto mash up this morning, Sunday, November 19. This no doubt triggered some feelings of being unable to continue old unproductive patterns. Whether you announced, "I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore," or simply quietly decided to make changes, this aspect will be continuing to cause reverberations in the days ahead - so don't try to sweep stirred up awareness under the rug! It becomes obvious now that something's got to give.

Rather than trying to restore old routines look to create new ones.

Tuesday November 21 Venus in Scorpio sextiles Pluto in Capricorn - an encouraging omen for transformation, particularly for issues involving death, taxes or sexuality. The recent flood of accusations by women claiming to have been sexually harassed may be leading to positive changes.

Wednesday Neptune turns direct. Neptune rules intuition, music and those things that cannot be seen but only sensed. When retrograde, Neptune pulls back from sharing his insights. Now that he is moving forward perhaps we will find it easier to grasp what our unconscious is trying to tell us - a great time for setting up a Sri Yantra!

Thanksgiving Day starts out with a disruptive Moon square Uranus. It may be impossible to stick with our preconceived plans so have an attitude of flexibility. The Moon will go into Aquarius later in the day which welcomes "outsiders" so take advantage of any opportunity to include someone unrelated to the family. Rather than shooting for a "traditional" celebration, this could be the year you excel doing something totally spontaneous.

Terrific line up of planets for finding unexpected bargains on Friday and Saturday with Mercury trining Uranus. Hit the Black Friday sales with gusto!

Happy Thanksgiving,

Rosada

New Moon in Scorpio - Marching to The Beat of a Different Drummer

The zodiac is made up of 365 degrees and each degree is described by a different image known a a Sabian Symbol. Being aware of these images can often help one grasp the meaning of a planet at a certain degree more fully than words alone can. This week the New Moon happens on Saturday, November 18 at 27 degrees Scorpio. The key word for this degree is "propaganda" which makes a lot of sense when we consider that Scorpios are famous for being able to influence and manipulate  others on a deep and unconscious level. This word makes even more sense when we pair it with it's Sabian Symbol. The Sabian Symbol for 27 degrees Scorpio is of a military band marching noisily through the city streets. The band draws attention with it's music and the loud banging of its drums. A band rouses us - manipulates us! - and can make us feel good about God and country - even when in calmer quieter moments we may totally disapprove of what God and the government are up to. So the image of a marching band brings the word "propaganda" to life.

Now what does this image mean for each of us personally?
If a person is born on this date the image might suggest the person will literally grow up to play in a band! Or perhaps the influence will be more subtle. The image could be alerting us that the person will demand attention just as a marching band cannot be ignored. Or perhaps they will want to join the army or alternatively they may oppose the military and become peace activists, or maybe it just means they will excel in advertising work.. So you see, the symbols aren't so effective for making specific predictions, but they can be very useful in giving a person a few clues to the larger patterns.

The New Moon falling on the degree of the marching band this week suggests we may see some of the following in our lives in the month ahead:
Noisy bands for sure!
Maybe announcements that make you leap to your feet.
Peace rallies or war marches.

 There is also a caution that comes with each image. The noisy marching band could be warning us that a lot of noise drowns out the real messages. More fake news? Perhaps we are beating our own drum too loudly or perhaps we need to beware of someone else putting on a big ego display. Propaganda and threats to peace often show up when this degree is prominent in event charts.

All in all, the Moon message for this month is "Don't let your own inner voice be deafened by outside sounds."

In the words of Henry Thoreau,

"If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away."

The exact time of the New Moon is Saturday morning, November 18 at 6:42 a.m. (est). Set your alarm to go off at that moment and you will be totally in tune with this Crashing Cymbals Symbol!

Venus into Scorpio - It's Kind of a Big Deal.

Whew, I caught you just in time! Venus, the goddess of love, will be leaving her home sign Libra early Tuesday morning, November 7, and wont be back here again for an entire year! Use these last few hours while Venus is still in her sweet spot to promote a little extra good karma for your relationships. Contact friends and loved ones to share some good vibrations. Venus at the last degrees of Libra can pull you through the worst situations and still end with smiles all around.

Next stop - Scorpio! 

On the other hand, Venus in Scorpio portends power struggles and secret affairs. This is because Scorpio rules other people's possessions and those things we can only have access to because someone else agreed to share. To get someone to share their money (or their partner!) many folks resort to bullying or even theft or in the case of a romance, a secret liaison. During the next month while Venus is here we may all find ourselves in situations where we're tempted to use charm rather than facts to accomplish what needs to get done. Sure, a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down but beware of becoming down right deceptive! Be aware that you may also be targeted for manipulation yourself. Department stores will be urging us with syrupy advertisements to spend our money on Christmas gifts and decorations and all the Venus stuff that is supposed to mean "love" - but really means debt.

Other planetary aspect to watch for this week:

The Sun will sextile Pluto early Thursday morning November 9, a powerful opportunity for regeneration and growth. This applies to all sorts of situations from healing relationships to finding just what you're looking for at the local thrift store (Pluto rules things that need to be repaired or reactivated).

On Saturday November 11 Saturn will trine Uranus. As Saturn rules physical reality and Uranus rules electronics, this combination could mean what used to be wild ideas and imaginings are solidifying into brilliant new inventions.

Think outside the box this week and see what New Age wonders appear!

Jupiter in Scorpio - The Midas Touch

Jupiter has just gone into Scorpio which means wealth and abundance for those who know how to tap into this vibration:

1. Attitude of Gratitude.

Like old King Cole, Jupiter is a merry old soul and to align with his happy spirit cultivate your own good nature. Count your blessings and when you must pay a bill, don't begrudge it, think of yourself as being a patron who is honored to be called upon to support a worthy cause.

2. Candles and rituals.

Jupiter loves religions rituals and ceremonies. Light a candle and ask that the flame activate and manifest your heart's desire. White is fine but green is specifically for money. If this is going to do anything for you, you should see results within a week. I recently burned a green candle because I was wanting to purchase a new couch. I then headed out the door but I didn't even have to get to the store. Two blocks away a neighbor was in the middle of loading a moving van. As I walked by she half jokingly asked if I would like their nearly new couch as she didn't have space for it in the truck! The couch was the exact color I had in mind and it is now sitting happily in my sun room!

3. Giving to Get.

Jupiter is nothing if not generous. If you're looking to align with him, give generously yourself. Tithing - that is, giving away one tenth of your income - is a practice many of the super-rich credit with having helped create their success. Besides, giving is fun! I've tried to practice tithing for several years now and I feel The Universe has sent me money many times because Jupiter knew I'd direct it to those in need. Indeed, this week I've been invited to a fund raiser luncheon for lost dogs who've become homeless since the fires we've had out here in California. I accepted the invitation but was feeling uneasy as to what I could afford to give. That afternoon the mailman brought me a letter with a check from a woman who'd owed it to me for over a year. I had been pretty annoyed that she'd never gotten around to paying but I immediately recognized the divine timing of the money coming when it did.  I'm delighted to be able to contribute it to the animals - with enough left over to pay for my lunch!

4. Say "Thank you!"

This is kinda the same as having an attitude of gratitude, but it's taking things a step further. When we say thank you we're not just being polite - we're actually alerting our unconscious to find something for us to be thankful for. Do you know studies have shown that people who pay a higher price for a service often feel they got more value for their money than the ones who paid less and got a "bargain"? So always say "thank you" every chance you get - Jupiter will bless you for it!

Useful date coming up this week:

Venus will be opposing Uranus on Saturday November 4th, the day of the Full Moon. This could bring some shake up to relationships. Eat healthy and allow yourself plenty of time and wiggle room.

Thank you for reading - Really! Thank you!!

Mercury - Neptune Trine: Time for Love, I Swear It's Not Too Late.

To everything there is a season and as we approach the holidays it's time to live by our highest truth: We are all one.

Mercury trines Neptune on Tuesday October 24 giving us an opportunity to feel the connection instinctively but as we know, faith without works is dead. Open your channel wider by acting on your loving impulses now. Don't wait till Christmas to give. Unification with others is of paramount importance this week. We've got to align our attitudes with this ideal. There is no room for anything divisive.

Mercury - Neptune trines are also great days for taking short trips (Mercury) with no planned destination - just follow your intuition (Neptune)!

The Sun will have it's annual meet up with Jupiter Thursday morning October 25. Jupiter rules understanding and forgiveness so here we have another opportunity to create peace in our personal lives and in the world in general.

The Sun - Jupiter conjunction means awareness (Sun) puts a refreshingly sane light upon all (Jupiter) our predicaments. Seek and ye shall find solutions!

The possible glitches around all these good vibrations are described by the Moon in Capricorn making harsh squares on Wednesday and Thursday to Venus and Uranus. Selfish attitudes or people just wanting to be oppositional could delay good fortune - which is why I make such a strong pitch for people to act on their altruistic feelings. Don't wait for the other guy to make the first gesture!

Warning:

Venus will square Pluto Friday night October 27. This could be a real heart breaker aspect. Venus rules love but in combination with Pluto we could get her dark side - mindless passion and the desire to have intense experiences.  Fortunately mindful Mercury is there too making a positive connect to Pluto so perhaps more reasonable heads will prevail. Even so, postpone stressful meetings for a few days and if you're planning on going out be sure to have a designated driver. No tattoos!

Saturday Night October 28 has a winning combination for a Halloween celebration. The Moon will be in Aquarius sextiling both Saturn and Uranus making it the perfect time (Saturn) to dress up and bring out the strange (Uranus)!

We've got some real hope for seeing improvement this week. The important thing to remember is to trust change is possible and act accordingly. When you hear something hopeful, don't be cynical! Believe!

New Moon at 26/27 Degrees Libra - Transcending Conflict

I always look forward to the New Moon. It's a chance to focus on what I am hoping to manifest in the month ahead and by being clear at the exact time this aspect is forming the path then becomes clear. This week we'll be having a New Moon on Thursday, October 19 at 3:12 p.m. eastern time. Make a point of being in a good space on this day and see how easily the Universe aligns to manifest your strongest intentions.

Because the Moon will be in Libra the emphasis is on partnerships and creating fairness and balance in all our relationships in the month ahead. What is right about our connections will be strengthened but also what is wrong will become unavoidably obvious.

The planet Uranus, the ruler of freedom, is opposing both the Moon and the Sun on this New Moon day so there is liable to be more energy focused on getting out of agreements this month than negotiating for staying in. Politically we see Trump wanting to dissolve many of the programs put in place during the Obama administration. In our personal lives there will probably be a lot of folks wanting to make changes too. Partnerships that aren't working will be abandoned. Even friendships that are solid will be finding adjustments need to be made. If you are in a relationship right now that is not too well defined, this is NOT the month to ask, "Honey where are we going with all of this?" because the emphasis is on independence rather than commitment.

When trying to decipher the potential of a New Moon it is helpful to consider its exact degree. This New Moon will be happening at 26 - 27 degrees Libra. Each degree has an image known as a Sabian Symbol which often turns out to have uncanny significance. The Sabian Symbol for this month's New Moon is "An airplane flying high through clear blue skies." It signifies consciousness able to transcend the conflicts of personal life in order to gain a new perspective and new solutions. This image combined with the disruptive Sun-Moon opposition to Uranus suggests the way we can avoid this potential for upheaval is by intentionally looking for a "higher" way of interpreting our life situations. Often times when we are immersed in crisis we only see the loss, but if we consciously ask ourselves, "How is this serving me?" a whole different way of responding to events becomes possible.

A few other things happening in the skies this week that it's helpful to be aware of:

Mercury is leaving diplomatic Libra on Tuesday, October 17 and showing up in tell-it-like-it-is Scorpio. This shift means our mental attitude becomes more intense as we search for hidden meanings.

Jupiter, the planet of expansion will be merging with Mercury on Wednesday October 18. Hopefully Jupiter will bring optimism to Mental Mercury's take on life, but it could also signal more secrets revealed, more scandals and more drama.

Furthermore, Mars enters Libra on Sunday, October 22. Mars, the planet that demands to be first, is not in a position of strength in Libra, the sign that insists on equality and fair play. The combination is more likely to create stalemates rather than agreements.

All together the stars point to the importance of being flexible for the next seven days.

Good news: There's a terrific line up of planets happening weekend after this! Saturday night October 28 looks perfect for a Halloween celebration. Put your sites on that and avoid arguments and upheavals now.

Best wishes,

Rosada
