Saturn Venus: Part 2 (continued from last post)

Image
I wanted to add a bit more around the presence of the North Node (Destiny Point}  in conjunction with Saturn and Venus. This combination  indicates there are important lessons around love for us all, and  anyone with planets or angles (ascendant, descendant, IC, MC) close by (8 degrees Scorpio) will feel them most intensely. This three way conjunction is still in play (though it is now slowly waning, the effects will continue to ripple out  in the next few weeks). Changes and insights around current relationships will likely be long lasting.  Endings may occur, as well as solidifications. Though uncomfortable, remember that doubts that come up at this time can lead us into deeper introspection ... and thus to emotional growth and transformation, as per the Saturn in Scorpio energy I have written about. (see tab at top). The subject of LOVE has been written about throughout the ages ... and these words here can only seem to scratch the surface of this profound subject. Still one

AUTUMN EQUINOX Weighing all things to make them equal

Image
The Autumnal Equinox  brings everything  into balance as the Sun moves into Libra, sign of the scales.  As the seasons shift, Autumn begins in the northern hemisphere and Spring begins in south. Today, just for a moment, day and night are equal all over the world.  Sun in Virgo recently prompted our increased focus and effort, getting us to pay attention to details. The harvest Moon in Pisces brought us a fullness of feeling and imagination. Now Libra, the sign of beauty and love, wants us to harmonize with others. To do that, we must first find the balance in ourselves. Venus, ruler of Libra,   sits exactly on the North Node of the Moon, called the Destiny Point, marking a powerful focus on how we love and partner with others. Saturn is there too, adding to the significance of this aspect.   Saturn in Scorpio (see tab above) … is the task master, the planet of karma that shows us our lessons and where we need to grow up and face the music. It’s about what w

Full Moon on Thursday: “The unexamined life is not worth living”.

We are heading toward the Autumn Equinox, when day and night are at equal length. It is a time of balancing and harmonizing as the Sun sips into the sign of Libra next weekend. Finding an equilibrium could be   a challenge right now, with so many oppositional energies fighting for dominance in our highly charged astrological climate. While the Sun is still in Virgo,  it is urging us to pay attention to details as we organize  those tasks that need doing; this is the proverbial 'bringing in the harvest' as the Full Moon approaches. Mars in Leo is excited about … well so many things. Saturn has been holding that enthusiasm in check somewhat this past week, but things will smooth out now as Mars moves further into Leo. If you have a birth date in mid august you should be feeling pretty fired up right now. On the other hand, this Thursday’s Full Moon in Pisces has a very watery feel.   This gentle, ethereal energy will activate our dreams and imagination,

Venus in Libra: Pleasant Manners

The astrological forecast continues to be dramatic, intense, difficult, transformative. Take your pick! In the immediate foreground, Sun and Mercury in Virgo are activating our attention to details and urging to get organised. Today I got out all my files and set them in order … something I have been wanting to do for ages. Thank you Virgo!! Easy peasy! We had a New Moon on Thursday and if you hurry you can still squeeze in an intention for the coming month. This beginning Moon in Virgo is all about the details.  Mars in Leo adds fire to our actions, and many will experience   an acceleration of activity in the area Mars sits in their chart. (see tab at top for house meanings) And though it's warp speed forward Scotty, a short term square to Saturn will slow you down for a few days. So if your wheels are churning, have patience; this too shall pass. And while you are waiting,  this is a good time to look at your diet and exercise regimes as health

Sun and Mercury in Virgo: Get with the Program!

We are now in the season of Virgo, where details and focus bring us out of summer's slower pace into the approaching autumnal focus on of work and activity. We continue to have some pretty spectacular astrology in the skies above us. Right now, Mars (action) in fiery Leo is picking up the pace, while Sun Mercury in persnickety Virgo wants us to get with the program.  We have come through some pretty powerful events these last couple years, and the pressure to transform and  change continues.  The Grand Sextile/Star of David formation  is active again this weekend as two Grand Trine formations overlap each other. This auspicious combination of planets is a sign of  grace and mercy at work in the universe. It is telling us that we will get through these times if we focus and ground our energy (earth), while allowing for the fluidity of deep feelings (water) to guide us through the changes that are afoot. A Grand Trine is made up of three planets all in equal
