Hello and welcome to my weekly Star Cast, where I bring you the weekly update on what’s happening in the world of astrology – and how you can apply the wisdom of astrology to enrich your life here on earth.
My key phrase for this week is: Giving Birth to the Truth
This week fleshes out the potential of our Aquarius New Moon on January 27th.
We also began the Chinese New year – the year of the Rooster. One of the things about Chinese astrology is that you can easily relate the qualities of each animal to the year – and in this instance, think about how the rooster crows – or speaks his message.
People will have a lot to say this year, and they will want to be heard.
To begin the lunar cycle, both in Western and Chinese Astrology, Mars entered Aries on the New Moon day, and we also had a major aspect of Venus square Saturn.
Mars is empowered in Aries, the sign of his ruler ship. Mars in Aries does not ask permission; rather his cosmic job description is to ‘get the job done.’ You have no doubt seen Mars in action – he is invigorated and no matter what your point of view is – Mars is active on both sides of the fence.
This week, Mercury, the planet of communication is busy!
On Tuesday, January 30th, we have another major aspect of Mercury square Uranus. This is radicalizing aspect – Mercury is about your message and your words; Uranus makes for sudden and swift action. All in all, the planets are gearing up for some fireworks.
And, on Thursday, February 2nd, Mercury is interacting with Jupiter through a square aspect. The square is an aspect of building and setting a new foundation.
Jupiter allows you to focus on your well-being – so, take a critical look at your habits – both habitual thinking as well as other activities.
Overall, it’s critical now to hold a positive mental state, and to further take it on to feed a positive lifestyle.
The first quarter moon on Friday, February 3rd is in Taurus, the sign of manifestation – and this means that your work this week will show up on the physical plane.
Remember – this is a vital week to give birth to your truth!
Wishing you many blessings as you reach for the stars!
Today, Monday, November 21st delivers a third quarter moon in the powerful 29th degree of Leo – the home of Regulus – the royal Fixed star that sits at the heart of the Lion in the constellation of Leo.
Pause and reflect today because this is the degree of the solar eclipse in August of 2017. This lunation today presents an opportunity to peer into the future!
There is a subtle portal opening, an open door into the year ahead. And, because you have the Divine gift of free will choice, the Universe invites you to be proactive and set your future into motion by the actions you take today.
Even the sun enters Sagittarius today. A sign ruled by Jupiter, Sag is also a sign of prophecy. So, again, the stars invite you to open up the manifestation process for 2017 and take steps to manifest your vision.
We also have some major planetary aspects this week. On Tuesday, the 22nd, Mercury (also in Sagittarius) sextiles Jupiter. This is another invitation to think large, to dream, and come up with practical plans and directives.
Thanksgiving day in the US is a nice, peaceful day with the moon traveling through Libra. This sign of relationships is a perfect influence for meeting with friends and family.
Friday, the 25th is more intense as Venus conjuncts Pluto. On th is day, emotions surface for resolution. So, eat and be joyful on Thursday, and avoid conflict on Friday – if you must have a heart to heart this week and need to be heard, come to the table with sincerity, but do it before Friday.
Looking like the calm after a storm, Saturday, November 26th delights with fresh energy of Mercury trine Uranus.
This is an aspect of genius and it will help to facilitate things working out right.
So, enjoy this week –wishing you the opportunity to give thanks, and be brilliant.

There are always select moments in life that are ingrained in our energy field; for example, maybe you remember your first day at school, or the moment you met a partner, or held your newborn child.
I also remember the first time I heard the word ‘paradigm’. I was a bit shocked because I didn’t understand it. Here’s a definition: ‘a theory or a group of ideas about how something should be done, made, or thought about’. A paradigm is also a model or pattern that can be copied; a broad philosophical framework.
The paradigm concept expanded my thinking, and this Aries New Moon conjunct Uranus, the Awakener, can and will do the same for us all.
You only need to turn on the news to see our world paradigm exploding. Here in the US, it doesn’t feel good to see sexism and stalking brought to the forefront of politics.
But, everywhere in the world, events are rapidly unfolding to create a new paradigm; Brexit, the Great Barrier Reef, the death of Thailand’s King Bhumibol Adulyadej.
The date when Uranus entered Aries, March of 2011, initiated a paradigm shift. Within months, the fires of war were lit and have now exploded into infernos across the land.
But, there is hope in revolution. Uranus is a catalyst – an agent that creates something entirely new and unique out of dissimilar materials. Uranus is also an Alchemist; a force that purifies, matures, and perfects. Injustice, inequality, and oppression all feed the Alchemical fires that are burning today.
And, you can take heart in knowing that this giant, full super Moon – as it unites with Uranus – signals the ripening and maturation of his time of chaos. The world will not change overnight, but you can change your world in an instant.

Uranus, the original Sky god, and Mother earth (Gaia) are giving birth to a new paradigm. And, it’s your moment to manifest this in your life.
What does that look like for YOU? This powerful full moon presents a breakthrough opportunity.
Get in tune with this moon, and light your own fire of transformation. Create your positive personal paradigm; a new world is calling your name!
Uranus is a catalyst that activates your mind like a bolt of lightning
Venus and Uranus continue their opposition dance, and the week begins with Venus, the planet of attraction and love forming a favorable aspect of opportunity to Mars, the planet of action.
This need not be only personal love – it also addresses getting busy doing something you are passionate about.
Maybe it’s just creating an outline for a book you’ve been intending to write, or, something like starting that exercise routine that you’ve been thinking about for so long. With the moon in Taurus, it’s time to take your thoughts and dreams, and make them real.
Tomorrow, September 20th, we have a major planetary aspect between Mercury and Pluto – this is another aspect of taking an idea, represented by Mercury, and transforming the thought into something of value.
Many people are aware that Mercury has been retrograde for a few weeks now, and on Wednesday, Mercury stations direct. This is a bit of a relief because Mercury has been traveling backwards through Virgo, one of the signs of his rulership – this means it’s been a bit stronger than usual.
Jupiter is home to the Archangels and Ascended Masters
Virgo is about making decisions and you may have had to make decisions, but felt that you didn’t’ have all the information needed. This will stabilize by the end of the week. Your next steps come through with clarity by the 27th.
On Thursday, September 22nd, we celebrate the Autumnal Equinox – a time of balance between the earth and her relationship with the Sun. As the days are balanced between night time and day light, it’s also a time to find balance within your own body, mind and spirit.
Sunday, September 25th is another dynamic day with the Sun conjunct Jupiter – this happens only one day per year, and is a day of special growth and expansion. Embrace all that Jupiter brings; wishing you:
The Peace of Protection
The Good Luck that is your birthright
Growth that comes with holistic expansion
And, prosperity to fill your heart and homes

Amazingly, it’s already time for the full moon, and this one ripens as a lunar eclipse.
It’s not every year that we get to experience a full moon eclipse during Mercury retrograde time period – especially one that aligns with the sacred Pisces/Virgo axis.
The moon is a marker of your emotions, and a lunar eclipse precipitates events triggered by your own thoughts and feelings.
This is how and why the lunar eclipse and can catch you off guard if you’ve been indulging in shadow; the spooky thing that you dread the most, the one you spend so much time wishing you weren’t thinking about – that’s your shadow.
Even Mercury sits behind the sun for this full moon – hiding in the shadow of the great solar I AM.
The secret to working successfully with shadow is becoming aware of it, but not identifying with it. Shadow is a repository of suffering, but also a storehouse of creativity and embracing shadow requires strength and courage.
Mercury Retrograde and the Mutable Signs
Every eclipse has a birth point, and is a member of an eclipse family. The eclipse of September 16th at 24 Pisces is a member of the 19 North Saros Cycle families of eclipses.
The planetary signatory for this eclipse is about realism; seeing an old situation for what it is, rather than what you thought it could be.
And, elegantly, you are free to move on with no residual ties or baggage. The Piscean nature of this eclipse facilitates past lifetime clearing; emotional ties are completed, karma is resolved.
Pisces is where you meet the accumulated results of your past. Successes and failures from all of your lifetimes flow back and forth between the conscious and unconscious aspects of your mind. Mental pain may be an overwhelming aspect of this Pisces eclipse, yet with this moon conjunct Chiron, it’s a powerful time to release and heal.
Mars sits provocatively at 23 Sagittarius, squaring both the sun and the moon. The gift of the mutable T_square teaches us to adjust to the world as it is – not the way we think it should, or could be.
IF you can get a handle on nervous tension, this can be a dynamic time for your creativity. Find your calm and elegant center, and make this a constructive time for tackling the truth.
Honor this as a seed time that facilitates resolution of problems. Observe your mind, talk to yourself, and become your own best friend

Night by night the moon has been growing in the sky, this week, late Wednesday night, the moon peaks full in Aquarius.
A sign of social justice, Aquarius breaks down barriers. Many people incorrectly think that Aquarius is a water sign, but it’s actually a fixed air sign. The fixed air quality and element are what gives Aquarius natives their resolute capacity to know their minds.
The full moon of August 18 is being described as the ‘almost lunar eclipse’ because it’s not visible from any place on the earth.
Because of this peculiarity, I think of it as a ‘shadowed eclipse’. A Lunar Eclipse addresses what you are learning, and it relates to events created through your own thoughts and feelings.
The shadow (the eclipse) is there; you don’t see it, but you might feel it.
Transformation Station
The full moon is ushered in with a lush Venus trine Pluto. This aspect is one of magnetism and it supports seeing the positive potential for any situation. Under this full moon signature, Grace (Venus) grants access to Power (Pluto.)
And, if you have been the recipient of a harsh cosmic insight ( such as friend turned critic) that comes so easily now as Mars quickly approaches Saturn, you can choose to take the criticism for what it’s worth, consider the source, and move on with a positive vibe; accept the Power of Grace.
The karmic nodes, which must be near the Sun and Moon in a full eclipse, are not there yet. The north and south nodes advise on your life purpose and potential.
The nodes are paired up with Venus and Neptune at this time; Venus conjuncts the north node, and Neptune conjunct the south node.
Think of the south node conjunct Neptune as a repository of karma; the saying ‘you reap what you sow’ is especially poignant for this weeks’ shadow eclipse. But, there is also an opportunity for monumental progress because the north node conjunct Venus cultivates spiritual growth.
The north node conjunct Venus also develops the self-confidence required for personal love, and the Aquarius full moon inspires your fulfilled soul to love humanity.
Peace One Earth
Wishing you an awakened full moon. Keep your hopes and wishes alive and feed your dreams with a breath of fresh air and persistence.
May you awaken and channel power of a fulfilled and self-realized life and may we all find a unifying core of truth that feeds the Light of love on the earth.
