Hearts on Fire – Weekly Star Cast

This week winds up the dog days of summer and on Friday, August 23rd the Sun enters Virgo. But, before Friday, you have a few days to bask in the glow of fire sign energy. Mercury is well into the mid degrees of Leo; Jupiter is now direct in Sagittarius, and this week began with a pure fiery Aries moon.

One of the better days this week is Wednesday, when Mercury in Leo trines Jupiter in Sag, making the 21st a great day to reach out in a meaningful way. Wednesday is your ‘hearts on fire’ day this week Mercury trine Jupiter is an excellent time to complete favorable negotiations; communication flows well because both parties are on the same page. Plus, the moon in Taurus conjunct Uranus adds to making Wednesday a stellar day.

If you have something important to do this week – do it on Wednesday. Because, just like the aging of fine wine, the planets are quickly, one by one, moving into more mellow Virgo.

Now on the heels of her superior conjunction with the Sun, Venus enters Virgo on Wednesday, the 21st. And, Mars entered Virgo on the 18th.

Venus is in her ‘fall’ in Virgo, meaning that she is not expressing her full strength. Also, Venus is invisible in the sky until September 20th!

So, we always love Venus, but she’s in a repair and refresh mode now. Think of as Venus being on an extended stay at a health spa – doing a detox.  This planetary shift signals a time to move into refining Virgo type activities such as improving your health and cleaning/de-cluttering your home.

Next week comes the Virgo New Moon on Friday, August 30th. This lunation has some stellar aspects, and I’ll be sure to send you ALL the details. Until then, wishing you sunny days to warm your heart.

In Love and Service,

Wishing you many blessings as you reach for the Stars

What’s Going On – the Good, the Bad, and the Good

by | Aug 7, 2019 | Blog, Monthly Astro-Timeline

The Good, The Bad, and The Good

This week has some rich and fortuitous astrological happenings, but before getting to the good parts, I want to join my voice in expressing sadness regarding the violence events that occurred in the US recently. People often ask me: ‘what’s going on in astrology; why is this happening?

Leo New Moon – Shine Your Light

And, the stars can always provide an answer. . .but it does not alleviate the pain. Generally, Uranus, Mars, and Pluto are culprits in violence.

To land an astrological analysis, I’d say that this the events of August 3 and 4 were backflow from the full moon lunar eclipse of July 16th. This eclipse activated the current Saturn/Pluto conjunction, and it surely has stirred up issues that will be a part of our social discussion into 2020.

Mercury stationing direct on July 31, could also be a player in this astro profile. While retrograde, (during the eclipse) Mercury dipped into the collective unconscious, and once freed from the chains of retrograde, the killers stepped up to take action. The sad truth is that this is a complex and painful issue with many tentacles that dip into our hearts, and there are no simple answers. 

With that said – this week – really – holds a promise of better times. On Wednesday, August 7th, the Sun trines Jupiter which is a classic feel good aspect. Be on the lookout for an opportunity (or two) and remember it never hurts to help ‘fate’ along by taking action.

Thursday, August 8th is another favorable day with Venus trine Jupiter. All Right! This is another classic indicator of good fortune. So, although your heart may be weary, don’t forget to allow joy and goodness into your life. All of this happens in the fire signs of Leo and Sagittarius, too – the classic ‘good luck’ signs.

On Sunday, August 11th there are THREE unusual events happening on the same day. Uranus stations direct, Uranus stations retrograde, and Mercury enters Leo! Uranus represents your quest for freedom, and Uranus retrograde is a time to refine and review your values through your Higher Self connection.  Questions of the 8th house appear, such as: what will you give your energy to? Where do you continually lose energy? And, how can you fix it?

Jupiter moving into direct motion is a signal that the days of your life are passing away, and wasting time is also an 8th house issue.  – Jupiter direct says: ‘Precious time wasted is worse than losing money; it’s a loss of your most valuable human resource – the days of your life.’

And, Mercury in Leo – well, just think of it as the stars are giving you permission to ROAR  ?

You have an amazing planetary invitation in the week ahead. We all must acknowledge the pain of life in this 21st century, but do not let the assault to you senses make you so dull that you cannot experience and express the joy that is also your Divine gift.

In Love and Service,

Wishing you many blessings as you reach for the Stars

Star Cast for March 11

by | Mar 11, 2019 | Blog, Monthly Astro-Timeline

GODDESS VESTA joins Neptune now

Welcome to your star cast for the week of March 11. This week begins with grounded Taurus moon setting the tone. Last week’s Pisces New moon yielded fertile ground for productivity this week.

And Monday fulfills the new moon promise as the moon conjunct Mars mid-day presents a great opportunity to get your week in motion.

It’s also important to know that the asteroid Vesta now sits between the Sun and Neptune. The glyph (or symbol) for Vesta is meant to portray a single flame burning brightly.

When Vesta is activated, it’s a great time for focus. Think of it as shining your Light.

So, Vesta conjunct the Sun and Neptune adds a beautiful glow to this deliciously fertile week. Actually, we need this richness now. Pluto and Saturn are traveling closely together in Capricorn, and Mars in Taurus adds a serious flavor to the mix.

With Vesta active, you can really dig in and approach your work with devotion. Sometimes, however, Vesta leaves you feeling like you’re working all alone. Loneliness is the shadow side of Vesta, so, reach out and touch someone!

Carpe Diem – pick up the phone, schedule lunch with a friend, and be sure to laugh and celebrate the day.

There are two major planetary aspects this week; Mars trine Saturn on Thursday and Mercury square Jupiter on Friday.

I always think of Mars and Saturn in military terms; Mars is a soldier, and Saturn speaks to his or her capacity for discipline and planning. Yes, Mercury is retrograde now, but don’t let this stop you in moving ahead. Attention to detail is a signature of Mars trine Saturn.

Saturn actually controls and directs the energy of Mars, helping you get traction on difficult projects – things that you couldn’t conceptualize or find the time to work on.

And then, on Friday, Mercury square Jupiter adds icing on the cake. This planetary combination helps you to see the whole picture. Mercury delivers the facts and figures as Jupiter expands your vision.

Mercury square Jupiter makes this a great week for seeing and correcting mistakes while setting up positive outcomes. All in support of the Libra full moon on March 20th which is the same day as the Vernal Equinox.

Have you noticed that the timing of celestial events in 2019 is very precise? This month’s full moon coincides with the equinox and even the full moon of April is on Good Friday.

This is one good reason to keep astrology and your own personal chart as a close ally. Now more than ever, you want to know where you’re going, and the best way to get there.

Wishing you many blessings on your journey!

Pisces New Moon

by | Mar 6, 2019 | Blog, Monthly Astro-Timeline

This week we plunge into the waters of a Pisces New Moon, exact on Wednesday. Collectively we are plunged deeply into a water world as the Sun and Moon join Neptune at 15 degrees of Pisces.

Apply your intention to set up a roadmap for the month ahead that helps you to harvest the treasures that wait. 

There are many things to be accomplished as the moon undergoes her monthly rebirth. And this New Moon conjunct Neptune insists that you follow you inner guidance.

When in doubt – just settle into your breath and tune in. Neptune can be ‘foggy’ but what you want now is crystal clear clarity.

Neptune trains you to master the fine line between fiction and reality. Too many fantasies, and you dissolve. Over reliance on hard cold reality makes life dull and uninspired.

Dance, art, and music are all bedfellows of Neptune.

So are alcohol and drugs, which means that it’s critical  to keep your vibration high, clean and focused. This is done through attention to the foods you eat. Think about the company you keep and listen to how you regard yourself and your thoughts. (If you’re reading this, you know how to do it.)

One of the most exciting things to understand about this lunation is that water, the domain of Neptune and Pisces, houses a world of riches.

Think about the buried treasures that lie hidden on the ocean floor and the plentiful marine life such as plankton and kelp. Fish. Dolphins. Whales.

The abundant life held within water conveys the wealth of Neptune. And this abundance is what you can harvest in the month ahead.

As in any waterworld situation, your mission is to not get lost. The confusion specialists will continue to confuse as the liars will keep thinking that they can lie, especially with Mercury retrograde until March 28th.

Don’t worry because the Aries new moon of April 5th sits in a tight square (challenging aspect) to Saturn and Pluto. Plus, Jupiter in a long term square to Neptune for much of 2019 creates a testing ground for truth versus reality.

As we sit today, Neptune is notorious for laying down a confusing fog which is why it’s important to have clarity of intention for this new moon.

Wishing you a world of love, joy, music and dance.

Star Cast for February 13

by | Feb 13, 2019 | Blog, Monthly Astro-Timeline

 

 

Hello and Welcome to my weekly Star Cast, where I bring you the update on what’s happening in the world of astrology – and how you can apply the wisdom to enrich your life here on earth.

My key phrase for this week is: BOLO –  Be on the Lookout

This week delivers a dynamic conjunction of Uranus and Mars – exact on Wednesday, February 13th. When these two are joined, rebellion is in the air. The issue becomes: what is your price for freedom?

Mars signifies physical energy and vitality, and Uranus delivers sudden actions. Both of these qualities have a positive side, and indeed, Mars conjunct Uranus can add the impetus to accomplish great tasks.

The problem comes when one is dealing with suppressed or shadowed rebellion. Mars also fuels aggression, and Uranus sometimes delivers the last thing you thought you wanted when you least expected it.

So, generally, this is a week to remain calm, be mature, and walk your talk.
When you’re not clear about your motivations, the unpredictable side of this planetary conjunction can manifest. For example, you want to be free of your job; but if you’re holding on to resentment and anger your freedom may show up as time off due to an accident.

Mars conjunct Uranus is also a classic driver of rash behavior. You may be ready to tell someone off, but rather than an attack, why not choose a time for honest and clear communication that honors both parties.

Mercury, the planet of communication, entered watery and intuitive Pisces on Sunday, February 10th. Here, logical Mercury has a chance to surrender to his softer side. Mercury in Pisces favors creativity. Surrender to the beauty of music and poetry to temper the crosshairs of Mars and Uranus.

This week does mellow out by Friday, when the Cancer moon comes in to break the tension. And, again on Saturday, the moon really settles in to modify and soothe the pressure. All in all, we’re building up to another Supermoon Full Moon next week on February 18/19th at zero degrees Virgo.

Virgo is a sign of refinement and purification; looking forward to this elegant Full Moon. 

Wishing you many blessings as you reach for the stars!

Star Cast for February 4

by | Feb 4, 2019 | Blog, Monthly Astro-Timeline

Hello and Welcome to my weekly Star Cast, where I bring you the update on what’s happening in the world of astrology – and how you can apply the wisdom to enrich your life.

My key phrase for this week is: Follow Your Stars.
 
Today is a special day –  the Aquarius New moon arrives this evening. And then, tomorrow, February 5th, it’s officially Chinese New year; the year of the Pig, aka the Boar.

There are many activities surrounding the Chinese New Year, for example, one of the things recommended is to avoid crying children and do not visit medical doctors. It’s believed that how you spend this day, Tuesday the 5th, will impact the rest of the year, so, make Tuesday a day of grace. 

The New Moon is always a time to set your intentions for the month ahead. Aquarius is a sign of acknowledging our need for other people.  Practice honor, respect, and having good times together. Remember your friends and associates, and while you’re at it, do something good for Mother Earth this week.

Chiron, the planet/asteroid of healing is preparing to leave the sign of Pisces and move into Aries. This is a powerful time for personal healing. Over the next month, long lasting aliments and even ancestral or hereditary ailments can be successfully addressed. Surely, they are coming up for review. Chiron is deeply into the last breath of Pisces. If you’re experiencing a healing crisis, or emotional turmoil, understand that Chiron the Shaman is active in your life now. 

Also today, Venus enters Capricorn, after having been in Sagittarius for about a month. Venus in Capricorn is more serious and steadfast.  If and when you give your word you’ll be called to hold to your commitment.

Another dynamic day this week is Thursday when the Sun and Jupiter form a favorable sextile, the aspect of opportunity. In addition to many lunar aspects, Mercury and Mars are also sextile.

Basically, this means that it’s a great day to reach out and either take a risk, or grow in some other way. The Universes has much to offer on Thursday, so, be open to opportunities and ready to take action.

With the Sun in Aquarius, the area of opportunity will likely come through other people – work associates, friends, or even chance meetings. This is an important time to get outside of your usual routine and look at the world through fresh eyes.

Remember that Mars and Uranus are still traveling very closely together in Aries. These two planets can trigger unexpected events and or actions, they are both radical action takers, and you may be promoted to do something that you’ve never done before.

Plus, Pluto and Saturn are circling the wagons in preparation for their solidarity conjunction of 2020. Saturn is a builder; Pluto is a destroyer. Saturn has restraint and order; Pluto is wholesale change.

January 1 of 2020 opens with Mercury, Jupiter, Sun, Saturn, and Pluto all in Capricorn. And Mars stands guard at 29 degrees of Scorpio. Surely there will be a new order to the world, but the question is: what will that be? 

Hold on to the option for a season of empowerment rather than disintegration. Focus on building and even reconstruction of yourself! Heal your body, feed your mind, and be nurtured by your soul.
