I just posted what I wrote about Venus position on the North Node (Collective Destiny Point) and want to add one last bit. Venus  is about  love, relatedness, beauty, art. It is essentially about how we receive and exchange energy with each other, and as money is a means of exchange - Venus can also be about money. We often look at a persons value in terms of their income, but our true value is something else. Ultimately -  Venus is about that which  makes us rich - which  is LOVE - and which cannot be measured in worldy terms.   Anyway - I just got this from the I Ching as it seems to fit the theme of today I thought I'd share it: 42. Increase A person brings about real increase by producing in him/herself the conditions for it, that is, through receptivity to and love of the good. Thus the thing for which s/he strives comes of itself, with the inevitability of natural law. Where increase is thus in harmony with the highest laws of the universe 1 , it cannot be

New Moon in Virgo - Autumn Equinox- Love is the Answer

--> I just spent an hour on a swing in the local park, gazing at the night sky and marvelling at the wonder of it all. It’s so vast and so incomprehensible – I almost feel silly to be trying to explain any of this stuff .  What do I know? Yet, at the same time – although I admit it’s often beyond my comprehension – there is something about Astrology that rings true the more I study it. That fact both astounds and confounds me. Don't ask me how it works or why -  but I do know there is definitely some sort of crazy perfect synchronicity to all this. We can explore parts of it and leave the rest to wonder about. There remains a danger in getting too caught up in looking for explanations for everything- a boyfriend used to joke that there is an astrological explanation for everything (there probably is). My goal here is to explore and describe the general forecast – but what each person does with each day is totally going to be unique and different. I can only suggest some po

Full Moon for September 2017 (Midnight PT- MT- 3 am ET - 8 am UTC) Turns out the 'Harvest Moon' is September 20th - just before the Autumn Equinox. This one is the 'Full Corn Moon'. So we get to play Neil Young again next month :)  Tonight and tomorrow it will look equally full. Always an awesome sight. Happy Full Moon! "Here are Moon phase dates and times (ET). See the Moon Phase Calendar for your city’s dates and times. Full Moon: September 6, 3:04 A.M. Last Quarter: September 13, 2:26 A.M. New Moon: September 16, 1:30 A.M. First Quarter: September 27, 10:55 P.M. The September Full Moon is usually known as the 'Full Corn Moon' because it traditionally corresponds with the time of harvesting corn. It is also called the Barley Moon because this is the time to harvest and thresh ripened barley. Some other traditional September Full Moon names used by Native Americans include: “Moon When the Plums Are Scarlet” by the Lakot

Dreamy PIsces - Harvest Moon

--> --> “There is a new energy inside each one of us - whether it is tangible at this point or not. This new energy requires that your environment, whatever that may be, adjust itself to you in a new way.” Lena Stevens from Mystic Mamma If August was a Reboot/Reset – then September is about Adjustment - as we make an effort to move into alignment with the new energies ushered in by the New Moon/Solar Eclipse. The Full Moon on Wednesday brings to peak what was stirred up by the eclipse. It is in dreamy, romantic Pisces and exactly conjoined with Neptune – the planet whose attributes give Pisces that spaced out feel. Neptune can bring a sublime spiritual flow or a disorientation and  lack of direction. If you find yourself drifting off to space that could be why. This is also the  Harvest Moon - appropriate title for harvesting the powerful energies unleashed at the eclipse. Sun in Virgo is all about the details and can
