Time for a Little reflection

The Last Quarter Moon occurs this weekend on August 21st and represents the end of the current Moon cycle....with incentive to look back over the course of the month and evaluate where you have been and how far you have come internally. Mercury’s continuing backward journey through Leo adds to this introspective atmosphere. There's been a lot going on with madness and mayhem occurring all around us. When Mars entered Cancer and stepped into the Cardinal Grand Square all hell broke loose. The stock market went nuts. Riots in England, mass rallies in Israel as well as the continuation of all the many wars, upheavals, revolutions etc going on at this time. Someone I know has their Sun in Libra…exactly in the line of fire from Saturn, Pluto and Uranus…and their stress levels are over the roof. That person’s internal state is a reflection of the general shake up that is going on in the world. There are powerful forces at work. How it affects the rest of us all depends on how strongly

Full Moon in Aquarius Universal Love

If you are feeling anything like I am feeling all I can say is ...  what a ride!! There's a Full Moon today in Aquarius.... opposite a bunch of planets including the Sun in Leo. The energy has been building all week and we have a glorious radiant Moon to fill us with light. And that light is much needed, as  all sorts of violent planetary pressures are coming to a head via  Mars (aggression, violence, war, desire)  opposite Pluto (power, control,death, transformation)  square Uranus (sudden shocks, rebellion, uprising, insight)  and Saturn (systems, authority, material world, karma)  Result = look around at the  craziness!  Stock market/global economy crashing again, the London riots...spreading to many parts of England,  etc etc etc  All this tension has been ongoing for some time now with the Grand Cross/ Grand Irrationality stuff... but now and then it builds to a peak..... and the last week or two has been one of those times...Holy Schmoly!!  As soon as Mars moved into c

I think everyone knows by now that we are in a Mercury Retrograde period. I have already had several wacky communication related experiences: phones not working, messages not sending etc. etc. Ya gotta laugh at this planet’s ingenuity! Mercury, as trickster, likes to turn things upside down…and it does so in its own crazy way. Around three times a year, Mercury begins going backward in the sky.  Or so it seems. It’s actually an illusion… as when the car beside you pulls ahead and you feel like you are going backward. The thing is, astrology was/is based on observation and intuition. There is a marked effect when a planet goes in an (apparently) opposite direction to the one it was moving in. Its energies and effects are reversed and /or turned inward. If you saw the link I posted a few blogs back, showing the movement of the Sun through our galaxy...   http://youtu.be/A434l6td7d4   .... you can see that nothing moves pn a straight as an arrow path. The Sun actually moves in a spira

Things are about to get a bit tricky....

Hold on to your hats!!   Mercury is now going backwards…  scrambling our minds and our communication…. while Mars is now in Cancer square Uranus and Saturn and opposed Pluto (the Cardinal Grand Cross). Uranus = sudden shocks, changes, surprises.  Pluto = destruction, crisis, transformation.  Saturn = resistance, oppression, authority, difficulty. Should we be worried?  Never.  Worry is unproductive and just keeps us stuck in whatever we are worried about.  Should we be alert, cautious, and aware?  Yes. This is a good time to cross the t’s and dots the i’s. Check anything you send or sign or say.  Be prepared for delays.  And… use discretion when confronting anyone…. as there is a very volatile atmosphere in the air.   Mars is in Cancer, which is a highly emotional sign even without the planet of war hanging out there… so besides the very tense aspects to those very heavy hitting planets, it is very likely going to stir up a lot of emotional debris.  So what should we do?  There&
