Saturn goes direct

Saturn stationed direct on September 5, meaning that it stops the retrograde motion and appears to be standing still. It won’t be until September 18 that it “moves forward” again in Capricorn. A Saturn retrograde can be tough as it forces us to dig deeply into issues of authority in all forms – authority we give to others and that which we allow ourselves.Saturn makes us look at where we are slacking off and not “adulting.” Face it, none of us want to see that but we have to. 

Saturn remains in Capricorn, which is his happy place. This is the land of “do things by the book, follow the rules and be a good citizen. While it is good to see where we are losing ground in this area, it is also important to make sure that we are not always beating ourselves up for every mis-step. 

Balance – that is the key. Keep that it mind as Saturn emerges. 

August 13, 2019 Super Blue Blood Moon And Total Lunar Eclipse 2018: A Rare Phenomena In 150 Years A full “Sturgeon” Moon is set to grace the night sky in the coming days—to the delight of skywatchers. Full moons are an astronomical phenomenon that occur roughly once a month when the Earth is positioned between the sun and the moon. In this situation, the face of the moon that we can see is fully lit up by our star, appearing like a perfect circle. Technically the term “full moon” refers to the

We will have a stellium (five or more planets in one sign) in Virgo starting in early August. Mars enters the constellation on August 8, and then Venus jumps in on the 21st. Juno will join the Sun when it moves into Virgo on 23rd and Mercury follows the next day. With the exception of Juno, these are all “personal” or close in planets. Mars deals with our aggression (not always a bad word) and forward movement. Venus, is love, receptivity and financial acumen and Mercury, is our communicator, how we process and send forth our thoughts. The Sun is our internal spark. It is easy to see why these are personal planets as they all perform integral parts of everyday life. The outlier, Juno, an asteroid, is our loyalty barometer.  Virgo is the worker-bee of the zodiac. Her areas of concern are feeding, caring and working the body. They are into perfecting – their work area, their bodies, the entire world around them. The downside to Virgo is a criticism – self-criticism.  If perfection is your goal – how can you not always fall short? This is a good time to analyze each of these areas with an eye toward how you might always feel you (and your loved ones with Juno’s involvement) fall short. Where do you demand nothing short of perfection in a most imperfect world?

Today at 5: 38 PM Eastern which will have a partial lunar eclipse with the Sun in Cancer and the Moon in opposition in Capricorn. Sorry to say, if you are tired of dealing with issues of authority vs. emotions, responsibility vs. compassion, head vs. heart, you might want to hide for a few hours!

These are the themes of this eclipse. Cancer, ruled by the Moon, is now in the opposite and highly structured sign of Capricorn. All of those issues of where you are being too structured or perhaps not structured enough or too emotional or closing off your emotional side – are up for review. That is, if you are willing.

Let the gasping begin! Seriously, few things cause greater consternation than little Mercury turning inward. I hate to fuel the fear but this one will be in Leo, a fire sign, and will occur when Mercury conjuncts Mars and square Uranus. As they used to say in the old Western movies, “them can be fightin’ words.” This is the time to be very careful of what you say – think twice, speak once.

This is a time when we can see wars of words or words causing personal wars. Use this time to study how you should be thinking before you act.
