Opposition

I have  been away from this blog a lot  lately due to a variety of family activities : weddings visits etc. I have been travelling and visiting and basically preoccupied with a lot of stuff. It's been good to take a break and step back from constantly looking and analysing the planets and what they are doing. Writing this blog has been a new experience and has brought up a lot of thoughts, insights etc re how I want to relate to Astrology. I began writing to provide some introduction to Astrology and also to myself ... for people who come to me for readings.  I was also writing an article for 'In Touch'  Reiki magazine and needed to do a more daily type astrology report...so began using this blog to practice. I resisted this somewhat as I am more interested in personl birth charts and/or relationship charts, and tend to avoid getting bound up in the day to day sky. Not saying I am not looking, but I don't want my decisions and /or actions to be dictated by some idea

Full Moon in Pisces

Image
I am late for this blog... the Full Moon was yesterday... in Pisces. That's actually a very Piscean thing... to be late. In Pisces, boundaries are blurred and nothing is particularly solid. It's ruler, Neptune, rules the deep seas...and the uncounscious. What did you dream last night? Moon in Pisces will call  to our deepest longings; our need to connect to the ineffable; our most hidden wishes. Neptune can signify great illusions as well as Divine Love (higher love). It is said to be the higher aspect of Venus, the planet of love and relatedness. So  Neptune calls us to our higher selves and our soul's inspirations. It also can lead us down a path of fantasy and illusion. Its ilusiory misty veils can blur our vision and cause us to wander far from our path.  Drugs and escapism are a result of its siren call. So listen carefully to what your heart truly desires. What is the true love vs the illusiory one?  What is your true longing vs those temporary distractions.

Keeping Up...

I am moving about a lot right now as I travel across Canada. I was late in my last post so the Moon is now already halfway through Gemini then tomorrow later in the day  it moves into Cancer. It's hard to keep up!  That's the thing about the Moon...it keeps moving. And it's also why Cancerians are said to be so moody and changeable...because they (we) are ruled by the Moon... (that's my story and I'm sticking to it...). Anyway, the main think I thought I might point out is that yet again we will be experiencing  the current cosmic Grand Square. It is increased in potency yet again by the presence of Mars and Venus joining  Saturn's  opposition to Uranus and Jupiter and exactly squaring Pluto. Yikes!!  Might be some fireworks. So....more of the same pressure, intensity, drama, pressure(did I already say that) choices, oppositions, surprises, push/pull, relationship issues....  lots of dynamic, creative energy. Out with the old in with the new. But don'

Do unto others......

Today is a good day for emotional healing. Tense aspects to Mercury (communication) and Chiron (wounds, vulnerability) conjunct Neptune(healing, dreams, illusions, divine grace) as well as a trine and sextile to the powerful T-square currently in the sky...means vulnerabilities may come to the surface to be healed.  There is a deep longing for  loving kindness in all of us and also sometimes a hidden belief that we don't deserve it. Watch what you say. Try to listen...to yourself and to whoever you deal with today. Even if it appears that they want to hurt you, they are probably acting out of their own hurt. Be gentle on yourself and each other. Let compassion rule the day. The Moon  in  Taurus  is about our need for security and safety. It is sensual and tactile so perhaps a massage today will help ease the fears and vulnerabilites that are rising to the surface. The profound energy of the T- square gives tremendous transformative power to whatever arises today. Let it come,
