What Sign are you? Has it all changed?

Image
There has been a lot of media hype lately about how the signs are actually inaccurate due to the ongoing shift in the earth's axis and the subsequent progression of the equinoxes.  What astrologers call the zodiac is a band around the sky about 18° wide, centered on the   ecliptic , in which the Sun, Moon, and planets move.   The band is divided into 12 signs of the zodiac, each 30° long, that were named by the ancient Greeks after the constellations  that used to occupy these positions; "zodiac" means "circle of animals," and only Libra is inanimate.  Over the past 2,000 years,   precession  has moved the constellations eastward by over 30° so that they no longer coincide with the old signs.     Original article that started media  reaction : http://www.foxnews.com/scitech/2011/01/11/age-aquarius-actually-age-capricorn-thanks-rotation-earth/#ixzz1CeGBjuYD  The following response was posted by 'Starjack' in the comments section of the above arti

New Moon coming up... Groundhogs Beware!!

New Moon in Aquarius  Wednesday Feb 2   (Ground Hog Day!!) I am a bit ahead of myself ...for a change.... must be all this Sagittarius and Aquarius energy. At the moment the Moon is conjunct Venus in Sagittarius and also squaring  Jupiter and Uranus ...creating an atmosphere of  freedom, independence, impatience and excitement that will be continued with the New Moon on Wed.  Key words for Aquarius: Independence Freedom Rebellion Thinking (and feeling) outside the box Unusual, Eccentricity Inventiveness Objectivity/Detachment Check and see what house the New Moon falls in, in your own chart (13 degrees Aquarius)   http://www.astro.com (This astro.com  page also contains an article ...at bottom...about the false info floating about re 13 signs etc) The New Moon is also hitting the Sun and Mars …increasing their combined energies and giving us all a bit of a kick.  Mars  (warrior, masculine, desire, anger, impatience, feistiness) in Aquarius... can have a bit of a chip on its sho

In or Outside the Box?

Ok , after my big speech about not getting caught up in the day to day details, here I am doing exactly that! I blame it on the Virgo Moon!!             Anyway, here's a look at todays lineup: Pluto and Mercury hanging out together in Capricorn makes for some intense and rather serious discussions. Over the next couple of days Moon is squaring that combination, as well as being opposite the Uranus Jupiter conjunction…. What does this mean?   Well, the Moon is moving into the spot on the major T-Square/Grand Cross that Saturn has occupied for the last year. Squares are points of tension and produce pressure on whichever planets and/or signs they are running between. A T-square is created by 3 squares…(imagine a line running between two opposite planets…and then a leg going out at a right angle to the third. That’s the T).   The pressure is on the leg…  which in this case is the combination of Pluto and Mercury in Capricorn. Pluto rules sex, death, and regeneration and is al

Full Moon Out My Window

Full Moon in Cancer (get yer hankies out)

There’s a Full Moon on Wednesday in the sign of Cancer, and…yes…wait for it…it is NOT setting off the Grand Cross (being at the end rather than the beginning of Cancer) Whew!! .....though it will tip it a bit as it passes over. The Cancer Full Moon WILL increase emotional sensitivity and our need for security and family (good time to call your mom), while a trine to Jupiter and Uranus could trigger flashes of intuition, inspiration and insight. Look where they fall in your chart to see where this might occur. The Full Moon's opposition to the Sun  Mars conjunction in Capricorn gives some oomph to our drive to work hard and some spark to our interactions with others. Diplomacy may be needed at times, but you will get a lot done.   And/or you may find yourself howling at the Moon. Meanwhile, todays Mercury (communication) is conjunct Pluto (intensity, power struggles, need for control) so it’s already getting a bit testy.  Good day for exposing something or someone and for di

Endings lead to Beginnings

I have just been reading an article about eclipses which emphasizes the way they signify endings...     http://www.aquariuspapers.com/astrology/2005/10/the_solar_eclip.html While my last blog focused on the new beginnings brought by an eclipse and what we can manifest through intention, its also appropriate to take a moment to acknowledge...even mourn...whatever may be finishing in your life. At the beginning of a New Year I always do a kind of review of the last year as well as a preview of whats to come...(or what I want to come)   I often accompany this with a Tarot or I Ching reading to see symbolically what forces are at play. My tarot for the past year contained the Death card in the position of environment...and I certainly had some huge change that is/was very much a kind of death  (had to ...quite unexpectedly.... leave where I was living/studying  for past 12 years due to work/Visa issues).  It is slowly turning into a kind of rebirth and in the end quite positive (I

Solar Eclipse. New Moon. Make a Wish. Find the Gold.

Jupiter conjunct Uranus (for the last time) in Pisces brings us surprises, awakenings, sudden windfalls, new discoveries. Think expansion, joy, good luck combined with flashes of electric energy. Many are predicting some big scientific breakthrough …especially when these two move back into Aries.  What a way to start the New Year!! Today’s Solar Eclipse is so close to this Uranus Jupiter meeting point  as to appear to be happening simultaneously (few hours apart)  Eclipses set a new energy field...New Moons do the same…and  combining both these energies with the Jupiter /Uranus conjunction means we have HUGE power for creating  intention. This is an awesome moment for seeing the outer manifest from the inner (as within so without).  What do you want to create in your life? The Conjunction in Pisces brings an emphasis.... from this moment in time,...which will reverberate into the future. Pisces is about the ineffable, the undefinable…the infinite.  The depths of the

Happy New Year!!! 2011- Here we come...

                    "May you live in interesting times" We enter the New Year with the same intensity that carried through the last. No folks...its not over till the fat lady sings!!  There is  more upheaval, change, breakdown and transformation to come. Hang on for the ride. The Solar Eclipse this Tuesday at 13 degrees Capricorn heralds a New Start... yet continues the ongoing theme of transformation of the world we live in. If it falls close to a personal aspect in your own chart (Sun, Moon Ascendant etc), this will be a profound year for you. And...there is also more Grace and universal support pouring in to help us find our way as Jupiter conjuncts Uranus exactly in Pisces and Chiron moves into Pisces Feb 8th. W e will continue to feel, even  more deeply, that pervasive longing to dive into the depths of our being...and  know who we are. Our wounds and vulnerabilities will push us to find a profound healing we never new was possible. This eclipse sextiles my ow
