The New Moon in Cancer is starting just about ... Now! Welcome her as you embrace your feminine side; she is the soul in all of us.  Cancer is the sign of the mother and is ruled by the Moon. A New moon in its home sign accentuates the possibilities for emotional rebirth and contain a huge potential for new growth. This is a seed time. We can release old emotional baggage and come home to ourselves in a big way right now. So much tension and clearing and upheaval may have left you high and dry lately. Here is a chance to nurture yourself and those around you and bathe in the waters of deep feeling values. Family issues may come to a head or finally clear for once and for all. Let bygones be bygones. Whatever intentions we put out at this time will ripple forward for weeks... if not months. It may not seem like it at first but soon this caterpillar will have wings to soar in to the sky. My sister,  a writer about women's processes, calls this stage 'bug soup'.

Searching for the Truth

The deeper purpose of the current astrological  climate has been to push us to penetrate below the surface layer of reality to get to the core of truth where all real knowledge is to be found. This is a good time to study subjects pertaining to deeper knowledge. Much will be revealed. In our everyday world we can use this energy to examine, scrutinize and probe everything that comes our way. It is not that we should necessarily be overly suspicious,  but there is a strong drive to get at the total truth. If someone makes a proposal, investigate and ask searching questions until you know exactly what the proposal entails. Mercury retrograde in Gemini insists we go over all the minutiae of every situation we are dealing with.  Whether it be an emotional relationship or a practical exchange of resources, our paying such close attention will  make it very difficult for someone to swindle or mislead us. These days, so many people are struggling with upheaval, loss and fear. As we all

So much to feel, So much to say

Suff happening this weekend:  Here is a combination of short posts from the Aurum Astrology Facebook page. Mars the Warrior (anger aggression desire) moves into exact square with Pluto the Destroyer ( transformation, power and control) this weekend . Buckle up and hang on for the ride!!! ( and if you don't like the heat...stay out of the kitchen...i.e. Keep yer head down!) With emotional aftershocks still rippling out after last nights Full Moon, there is a need to be very aware of our feelings. The Moon is now crossing over Pluto and this weekend, and many will be experiencing a excess of powerful emotional charge. The square to Mars will increase the possibility of angry outbursts or powerful aggression. This is powerful stuff.  Use this energy wisely.  "When you feel the rise of unpleasant emotions, take a moment and make an effort to identify their source. The answers are far more available than you may have previously believed. Accept such feelings as

Full Moon in Sagittarius Calling us Home

If you look outside you will see the Moon is already ripening to near full, and by just past midnight EDT and early morning Friday GMT (4:15 am) it will reach its peak. As we head toward another exciting Full Moon, there are several streams of energy pulling us in various directions ... just as the Sun  and Moon will be pulling against each other. Sagittarius is the adventurer of the zodiac; no sitting still for this fire sign! Action and activity are key words as we seek to expand our horizons with new knowledge and experiences. When I meet someone who travels a lot or is a college professor or an avid sports person,  I know they have strong  Sagittarius element somewhere in their chart. This Full Moon is all about self actualization. It includes all the stuff I have been taking about for a couple of years now, and more, including a Cardinal Grand Cross (four planets at right angles to each other) a Grand Trine (three planets in a triangle formation)  and a Mystic Rectangle (f

And the beat goes on....

The current cosmic conversation sounds a bit like  this: Mars in Libra says: 'I will fight for love.( ...even if I have to kill you ) ' Pluto in Capricorn says: 'I will accelerate the rate of death and the rate of rebirth. I will break down the old structures and systems of authority ... so you can claim your personal power' . Uranus in Aries says: '  I bring you ingenuity and initiative.  ' I ask you to leave behind the status quo and to seek a new vision. Anything is possible! Jupiter in Cancer says: 'I will expand your feeling heart until you remember who you are.' The Moon in Libra (this weekend) joins Mars, increasing the volume of all of the above voices...  bringing extra intensity into the emotional field. And Mercury, planet of communication,  is slowing down and about to go retrograde.  Alongside this tension, and sometimes because of it, we find redemption: Neptune in Pisces says: 'I will befuddle your mind and awaken
