Full Moon afterthought

I was just was sent a very different take on yesterday's Full Moon. Just goes to show there are many levels to things. Here it is: "There are many legends concerning the importance of this Full Moon - happening today at 5:20AM PDT and activating 9 degrees of Taurus and Scorpio. While in the West, this Full Moon is known as the Festival of the Buddha, in the East it is called Wesak. True spiritual believers envision the Buddha returning from his high place in the divine hierarchy to bless humanity and the faithful. There is a valley in the Himalayas where a large number of beings - human, angelic and possibly extraterrestrial - gather to uplift the souls striving to evolve on Spaceship Earth. Some individuals may even be present in their higher-dimensional bodies or forms - if they are living elsewhere. Whether fantasy, fact or a mixture of both, it is helpful to unleash the creative powers of imagination and psychic attunement via meditations and affirmations close to th

Scorpio Full Moon

This is an intense one. Passion and tempers may flare due to Mars being in a fixed T-square with the Sun - Moon opposition (means Mars is half way between the Sun and Moon opposition that creates the Full Moon). Things we may have pushed way down deep and don't want to face will surface and come to a head now...with Mercury sitting so close to the Sun means we may speak our mind...passionately! Plus remember Saturn and Uranus are still in exact opposition so yet another point of friction where what's being held back (Saturn) may burst forth (Uranus) in surprising ways. Moon in Scorpio can be broody, paranoid, intense, controlling, obsessive, sexy. Sun in Taurus is sensual, stubborn, slow moving, physical. Mars in Leo is demonstrative, haughty, demanding, self centered yet loyal. Fixed signs don't move easily so there could be a standoff. Let any arguments be set aside...agree to disagree and sort things out when the tensions have passed. Or channel the energy into

Preponderance of the Great

Wow never a dull moment when planets square off. Confusion, upheaval, tension, prevails as volcanoes erupt and the skies cloud over, and our secure little worlds toss and tumble in the great wheel of life.     This tension moves in and out of focus as the planets shift and shimmy.  Uranus was exactly opposite Saturn in 2008 when the monetary system first collapsed, and has moved in and out of opposition since then.  They are exactly opposite again from today until the 1 st of June. With the Pluto square in the mix, Jupiter (amplifies what it touches) is about to blow our minds when it lands in the same spot as Uranus (the awakener) on May 20 th th. Hold onto your hats!! This will create what is called a Grand Cross or Square; a rare and powerful planetary configuration which heralds changes on a grand scale. I am not even going to pretend I know how it will all manifest. I don’t like predictions. I do know it is all going to culminate mid August, but will be building and r

New Moon in Aries today

New Moon in Aries is about new starts.  Seeds sprouting, ideas germinating, projects beginning.  Spring has sprung...the grass is riz. There are no beginnings without endings.  That's the way it works. If you look for the Moon tonight you won't see it.  The sky is dark. Take a breath. Let yesterday go.  Enjoy the stillness. Then a sliver will appear. So beautiful in the dark sky. Time to take  one step forward. Then another. Tomorrow's another day. (I am saying this to myself). Mercury(communication) and Venus (relating,beauty) are together in sensual Taurus.  The warm sun on the dark earth evoking our deeper passions and tastes. And the drama continues. Saturn moved into Libra quite recently but is now going backward (retrograde) into Virgo. One more look at the details. Plus it's now back in a close opposition to Uranus in Pisces, with  the square from Pluto continuing to put pressure on everyone and everything. It will wear you down or tear you down. And Pluto

The only thing to fear is fear itself.

 Enter stage right: Pluto, god of the underworld.  In "The Astrology of Fate" Liz Green says the trouble with Pluto stuff...is it activates the shadow. She says when that deep stuff is brought to the surface, the natural thing is to hide, deny, avoid. Its a survival instinct...part of any encounter with the  unconscious (that's why its called the unconscious!!).  And with Saturn squaring it...we will probably resist the change that Pluto is trying to force. I am doing it already. And then resisting my resistance. Help! That's probably because have these planets squared in my own chart ...its obviously one of my own big lessons. An immovable object meets and unstoppable force!! Should be interesting when Jupiter and Uranus hop into the mix at the end of May and culminating, in mid-August, with the Grand Cross.  Fireworks!! Gonna be an interesting year.  Meanwhile the Aries Sun of new beginnings is inspiring me to get up and go, and  gardeners everywhere are plantin
