AURUM ASTROLOGY Finding the Gold in Life

In a couple of hours the Sun in will be eclipsed by the Moon.  This eclipse will occur mostly over water in the Pacific Rim, which is on the other side of the world from where I live (and mostly over water).   But it can be felt.   In my last post I focused more on personal relationship shifts ~ particularly as I know several people going through break ups or significant changes in their relationship dynamic.  I wanted to comeback on and expand a little bit to add that even if there are no significant outward changes, this eclipse points to a deep subconscious sea change in how we negotiate our personal space with others.    Speaking up is critical and boundary setting is  key. It's so easy to fall into patterns in the way we relate to people and although most often those patterns are rooted in our childhood, they are also rooted in our chart. So if you have strong Libra for instance, or Venus in a close aspect to your Sun, Moon or Ascendant, you will fall into a more adaptive and

Sun/Moon conjunction: Self-awareness and emotional healing Eclipse /South Node in Libra: Emotional reset around our relationship patterns. Karmic closure. Mercury conjunct eclipse: Communication is key Mars square eclipse: Letting go of old resentments and anger The Annular (ring of fire) Solar Eclipse (New Moon in Libra) occurs on Wed Oct 2nd at 2:49 pm EST. Libra is a sign of balance and harmony. Mars at right angles - not so much! Endings that occur now may occur with some force. Venus (ruler of Libra and thus the eclipse) is in a beautiful fluid grand trine with both Mars and Saturn- mitigating the possible harsh effects of Mars. But Venus (ruler of Libra and thus this eclipse) is in Scorpio ~ a rather intense and somewhat challenging placement. Whatever is off balance in your life needs correcting.     This eclipse (2:49 EST) is the last of a series of eclipses on the axis of Libra/Aries, with this New Moon eclipse  on the karmic release point (south node of Moon) in Libra. This i

Neptune ~ the planet of dreams and illusions ~ dominates tonight’s Full Moon/partial lunar eclipse (opposite Sun, conjunct Moon). This ethereal planet dissolves ‘reality’ and in so doing, carries us into a realm where nothing feels solid. While this may be hard on the ego ~ it offers us a new vision ~ and a new possibility ~ opening the portal to unity consciousness ~ to all that is. Neptune in Pisces has the potential to sweep us away on waves of mystical bliss ~ we can dive deep into madness or meditation ~ so beware of the increased need to stay grounded. Alcohol or drugs can contribute to the unreality. Your choice. A grand trine in earth signs plus Saturn in Pisces will help us to keep it real ~ feet on the ground. But perhaps you prefer floating away in Bliss! Creative expressions will be off the map. Addiction is another side effect: I binged watched six episodes of a new show on Netflix last night! It was a romantic drama ~ perfect as Venus opposite Chiron Activates Wounds to S

  The Sun and Moon met up late Tuesday/early Wed (depending on where you live) in the sign of Virgo.   New Moons are reset buttons... we set a new intention and put it into motion.  You can't actually see a New Moon ~ but perhaps you felt it.  Virgo is a time of purification, organization, clarification, and there is a pressure now to get it together. The Moon Sun conjunction is opposite Saturn in Pisces, and square Jupiter in Gemini. That’s called a T square ~ where planets are opposite and they’re both at right angles to a third, and the effect is still rippling out. Big shifts are occurring in the background, as Pluto moves back into Capricorn - and Uranus turns backward. Other planets are changing signs as well (Mars/Venus, Jupiter and Neptune early 2025 ) and we will soon be in eclipse season. When Pluto first entered Capricorn( authority systems, governments, structures) in 2008 we had a global financial crash. Since then there's been a scramble to consolidate power -

Hello there. It's been a while ~  hard to keep up while travelling. I'm still posting short updates daily on the AurumAstrology Facebook page so please come visit me there. And here we are at another Full Moon. This is the dawning of the age of Aquarius                                                                                                                                       image by Catrin Welz-Stien   Full Moon’s are the culmination of what has been building all month and mark a turning point in that regard. Today's Full Moon in Aquarius  is shaking us up yet again,  with Uranus (the awakener) calling us to tap into a higher frequency. Given the shocking quality of this energy ~ we can expect the unexpected~  it will be interesting to see what occurs both in the world and also in our own lives.  Of course, as always, it depends how it is hitting your own chart. In general, this is a powerful time of concentrated change on planet earth, as we witness the d

On Friday July 5th the Sun and Moon joined together in the gentle loving sign of Cancer ~ bringing  a reminder to “shower the people you love with love ~ show them the way that you feel.” 🎶  (James Taylor)  The symbol for the sign of Cancer ♋️ represents the breasts ~ Cancer links to mothering, nurturing, our roots and our family. This is the time of year when we get together for family vacations, barbecues, gatherings. Family dynamics are not always easy…and  Cancarians themselves are famous for being highly emotional. With Sun and Moon together, all of us will be feeling that way to some degree.  So be gentle, be kind. The New Moon in Cancer is a perfect time for an emotional reset. This is a day to set your intention for the coming month. What you focus on grows! Friday’s New Moon represented  an emotional rebirth ~ with both Sun and Moon in Cancer (mother, childhood) on what is called ‘the turning’ (a right angle square to the nodal axis).  These  ‘Collective Destiny Points’ are c
