Pheonix Rising: New Moon in Scorpio

Image
Just a quick reminder that there are short daily posts on Facebook (link lower right) and if you leave your email on link top right you will be notified when there's a new (longer) blog post.  We are still in the 'Dark of the Moon' ... just hours before the New Moon in Scorpio. We are entering the darkest time of the year in the Northern Hemisphere as we head toward Samhain, Halloween, The Day of the Dead. The veils between this world and the 'other' world are thinning,  and we can almost feel the spirits around us.  This is a time to remember those who have passed as the mists of time  swirl about us and envelope us in a parallel world of magic and mystery. This year, Nov 6th marks the half way point between the Autumn Equinox and the Winter Solstice... called a Cross Quarter, and between now and then we get to spend some time in the most shadowy sign of the zodiac. Scorpio rules sex, death and transformation and is more at home under the covers than

A Kick-Ass Full Moon in Aries (cont'd) Something's gotta give...

Image
The exact time of the Aries Full Moon/Super Moon is  4:23 Universal time. By the time you read this it will have already occurred, but its effects will ripple out for several days. A‘Super Moon’ is when the Moon is closer to the Earth than usual and therefore has a more powerful impact. This is definitely going to be a Kick-Ass-Full-Moon, radical and revolutionary and full of surprises. Hehe. Seriously though... there is some intense energy here that we need to watch out for. Aries is the sign of the warrior, the leader, the entrepreneur ... with an emphasis on independence and going your own way.  The Sun opposite is in Libra, sign of balance and harmony, with an emphasis on relationships.  This creates a  push-pull dynamic between our need to be with others and our need to go it alone, and this polarity gets added tension from Mars and Pluto together in Capricorn. Watch out for jealousy, obsessive compulsive behaviour, power struggles and angry confrontations.  The urge to bre

Claim your Power. Full Moon in Aries.

Things are heating up as we approach an unpredictable Full Moon in Aries (Sat/Sun)... with Eris, Goddess of Discord, alongside Uranus (The Awakener) in the sign of the warrior.  Expect the unexpected! This is called the Hunters Moon, which seems appropriate given the intensely aggressive energy created by Moon in Aries square Mars/Pluto in Capricorn. This grouping can trigger power struggles as suppressed anger, rage, or frustration break through to the surface.  It's time to claim our power! Just remember that  the thing we think we are upset about is usually not the real issue. Although this intensity  can be tricky to handle, the Full Moon  can shine a light on our DEEPER issues.   If you have felt POWERLESS in your life, now's the time to FACE IT and FIX IT instead of taking out your anger on others! More tomorrow on this powerful Super Moon.  In the meantime, think about where you feel stuck or trapped. This may be the final push you have been waiting for. R

The Urge to Dream

A quick reminder that if you want to receive notification of new posts,  please leave your email at link top right. And for short daily posts 'like' the Aurum Astrology page on  Face Book (link lower right) It is Thanskgiving Weekend here in Canada, appropriately begun under  Friday's Jupiter  square  Moon, representing abundance, gratitude and appreciation. At this time of year we  give thanks for the bounty of the harvest as we begin to prepare for winter.   Bizarrely, we've had an early snow here in Alberta ... I'm sure  (I hope) it won't stay long, but it's a taste of things to come. The change of seasons reminds me of the cyclical nature of life, and gives pause to reflect on times past and future. We've arrived at the first quarter Moon, the half way point between last week's New Moon, and next week's Full Moon.  It's funny that it called first quarter, but when you look out at the Moon, it looks half full. Despite

Get er Done

Sun (energy) in tension with Pluto (intensity) can trigger POWER STRUGGLES, CONTROL ISSUES. This combined with Mercury (thoughts) and Jupiter (EXPANSION, OPTIMISM), fuels the already present 'GET ER DONE' energy (Jupiter/mars) , making some of us feel quite driven and potentially RECKLESS. If we want to harness these wild horses, we will also need to be very FOCUSED and PRESENT as we navigate the TWISTS AND TURNS in the road. That could be tricky today as the MOON SQUARED NEPTUNE makes us susceptible to MISCONCEPTIONS, ILLUSIONS, DELUSIONS, resulting in WRONG TURNS, MISTAKES OR MISSED OPPORTUNITIES. Tomorrow, when the Moon bumps into SATURN, there will be CORRECTIONS... leading to possible REGRETS.  As long as you can LEARN FROM YOUR MISTAKES, its ALL GOOD! MOON IN SAGITTARIUS says it's all PART OF THE ADVENTURE! YOU'LL GET THERE IN THE END.

New Moon New Energy New Choice

Yesterday's New Moon in Libra set a new emotional cycle and brings new energy to our relationships. It can feel like we are free falling as re continue to move through radical shifts.  Recent eclipses have triggered big changes for some of us , especially Virgos, Sagittarius, Pices and Gemini, or those with key planets in those signs.  Some doors have  closed, never to be opened again, yet many new gateways are also appearing. We have passed through a portal recently, and as we enter new uncharted territory,  the vibrational  shift is asking a lot of us. Know that it will give much back in return Time to welcome the New Day! Speaking of today, the Moon in Libra is currently in a tense angle with Pluto. Pluto's presence is telling us that change right now involves some sort of emotional transformation, and its possible that some of us will resist the changes that are occurring. It's easy to obsess when Pluto is involved. Watch your emotional reactio
