There is a correlation between our inner being and the vast universe. Evolutionary Astrology illuminates your current life Soul-intent while analyzing and reviewing past life gifts and blockages. Because the Soul is the most profound level of our being, it produces the widest and most meaningful context for direction in our lives. As the old saying goes, you can’t know where you are going if you don’t know where you have been. I provide the “a ha” moments as you uncover subconscious blockages and bring latent gifts to life. No matter how many times we reincarnate we are never the same person again – make the most of each life – live a life that is most in tuned with the universe and nourishes your soul most deeply.

In This Season of Balance – Understand Your Venus/Mars Energy

Last week – Mars and Venus made a rare conjunction in the sign of Virgo. Virgo transmits the energy of the sacred divine in the most practical of forms. Virgo, the Earth goddess, has a direct line to the divine but she can only utilize it here on Earth. Mars epitomizes masculine energy and Venus is the sacred feminine.

This conjunction address the need to balance the opposites in your life – sacred/mundane, masculine/feminine. This comes at a time of earthly balance between summer and winter – life and death.

Find 19 degrees Virgo in your birth chart to learn how you can apply this balance to your life.

 

Jupiter Enters Scorpio on October 10 – What Secrets Will She Reveal?

There is nothing better than Scorpio loves than a good secret – or should I say, how to ferret out a good secret?  With the power of mighty Jupiter, Scorpio is primed to reveal those hidden unknowns that we all do our best to keep from the world. Don’t be surprised if people seem a bit too nosy. There will be attacks on your privacy and interpersonal relationships will become more intense. This is a great time to define clearly your personal boundaries. Be careful too that you are not being too intrusive of others.

 

Scorpio is the sign which dwells in the areas of death, rebirth, taboo and the money of others. It loves to push boundaries and desires to make us go in areas that make us uncomfortable. By the time it leaves Scorpio, in November of 2018, we will see these subjects going public to degrees that might stun some. Scandals and shocking murders may shake us.

 

It is not all terrifying, however! This is a good time to reach in and clear our deepest fears about money, death and even sex. It is also a perfect opportunity to embrace your physic abilities or just hone your “gut” instinct. Scorpio isn’t all about scary things! It is a good to get those secrets off your chest and we erase fears!

 

 

Mercury is Squaring Saturn – A Time to Think….Then Speak

 

Mercury is making a disharmonious aspect, a square, to Saturn. The positive aspect is that it brings Saturn’s love of form, structure, commitment, discipline, gravity, and focus to our communicative abilities (Mercury’s purview.)

This is the time for negotiations, choosing words carefully and negotiating with care. Saturn loves to bring things in perspective and put an end on them. It acts like a knife gutting the detritus and makes us come to the point. Work on editing, cleaning out the file cabinet, answering all of those pending emails, or finishing that annoying report.

This is a time for tact and honesty – it is NOT a time to be making ad hominem attacks especially when the stakes can be war or even nuclear war. Saturn is the task master, he wants us to be concise and thorough not wild. Outrageous conversation and arguments will not have successful outcomes.

Think clearly, think honestly – and think before you speak.

Have You thought about Uranus Lately?

Even if you haven’t, he has gone retrograded recently and will remain so until early January 2018. Uranus is the guide to our revolutionary thinking – where we want to break the bonds – change things up and look at life through new eyes.

 

It helps to think of a planet in retrograde as a napping planet. It is a time for it rest and reevaluate its energy. The house that Uranus was at birth AND the house it is currently transiting through will tell you where for the next several months you can check your inner revolutionary.

This is the time to question yourself to find if you are you stuck in a rut and have destroyed your inner rebellious youth.  Is life too mundane – do you never have the desire to renew and refresh?

Conversely, you may be acting too overzealous – and just flitting from idea to idea – sparked by anger and the desire to not light on one issue.   It is one thing to rejuvenate your life but you need to have a plan and focus.

A Perfect Time for Those Working on the Virgo/Pisces Axis

The September 19th New Moon in Virgo will form an exact opposition with retrograded Chiron. Chiron, of course, will be in the sign opposite of Virgo, Pisces. A New Moon is a great time to cast intentions. If you are someone with a good deal of energy in Virgo/Pisces in your birth chart you can work to heal the negative properties of each.

Virgo, your weak spot is the demand for personal perfection and the relentless pressure you place on yourself to never fail, never be weak – never err as all humans must.  What is at the root of your need to never give yourself credit, never allow yourself a moment in the Sun or even the smallest accolade?

For Pisces, the learning curve is to understand that you can’t escape into fantasy and must face what you most dread here. Like it or not, we are living in linear space and time and not the wonderful world of spirit. You cannot ignore that for too long.

This is a particularly good time for people with the Pisces/Virgo north and south node axis. You can leave behind the negative aspects of your south node. Make a list of the negatives and then make the intention to leave them behind.

Virgo – you need to let go and trust that you are allowed to have the grace of “god” shine upon you.

Pisces – you need to ground yourself in the realities of life in the physical plane.

Mars joins Regulus on Sept 9

During the “great American eclipse” last month much was made of the eclipse occurring in the constellation of Leo, the Lion King, and in its brightest star, Regulus. Ancient astrologers looked to Regulus as the indicator of the fortunes that would either fall or fall away from the ruler of the land. He is the “king of kings,” if you will.

On September 9, aggressive Mars will pass near Regulus just as he is exiting Leo and heading into more sedate Virgo. If you have an abundance of Mars/Aries or Sun/Leo in your chart – this is the time to be careful – to watch your temper, not do anything rash, do not get provoked.

What this will mean to current “rulers.” Trump is Leo rising with Mars on the first house cusp (anyone surprised?)

He will be feeling his Regulus oats – the question is when will he finally bite off  more than he can chew?

Saturn Finally Stations Direct From Retrograde – Are You in Control?

Saturn leaves the last retrograded position while in Sagittarius on August 25 and marches directly into Capricorn. While in Sagittarius, Saturn challenged our ideas of religion, spirit and philosophy.  Because he demands order and structure – Saturn has been asking us to codify our beliefs and put them into action.

When in Capricorn, the sign ruled by Saturn – the challenge will be to understand better how you work in linear space and time and with authority figures. Also, learn how much control you have over yourself and your life. To me that is a big topic that people ignore. We have to be “captains of our own destiny” and that is something we often forsake. Control does not mean blaming others and failing to make decisions. This time of Saturn in Capricorn is a great time to learn how to get more direction over your life!

Remember, that Saturn will transit the Galactic Center on its way to Capricorn. This is a huge black hole, therefore is in a state of disunion and chaos. What better way to understand the role of Saturn in your life, of turning order into chaos, then when it is transiting this spot of great universal upheaval?

There is still time to get your Saturn on the Galactic Center Chart – where I interpret how you can best utilize the saturnine energies in your chart and how you can gain more control over those chaotic aspects of your life. Order here -only $25

Mercury in Retrograde in Virgo!

OK all of you Mercury Retrograde lovers this is your chance! The planet has just retrograded in the constellation of Virgo. Now this is an interesting combination. Mercury, of course, is the communicator – the ancient messenger from the gods. Virgo can be quite reticent. Virgo does go for “blab and show.”

What better time to assess words that don’t need to be sent? What better time to check your words before you send them out into the universe? Apply the Virgo precise analysis  to the words you are about to say and see if you will regret them once they are let loose.

Wouldn’t our crazy current world all be better if we watched what we said before we said?

Ready for the Lunar Eclipse Today?

Find you Moon! 

We are hearing so much about the solar eclipse happening later this month that some are forgetting about the lunar eclipse occurring on August 7.  This is an Aquarius eclipse – the sign of innovation, rebellion, hyper-intelligence and originality. Where the eclipse occurs in your chart is a terrific place to re-invent and revive your emotional responses to life!

Because Neptune and Pluto will be intersecting the path of the eclipse this would be a perfect time to assess the emotional responses you are (or not having) toward your spiritual practices. Are you just going through the motions or you deeply feeling what you are doing? Perhaps it is time to revive some of what you are doing to really connect with spirit!
