Aquarius Full Moon - August 13, 2011

Looks like everyone is feeling the Out of Bounds Mars this month. Add in the Cardinal T-square pattern and we can definitely feel the emotional distress that has surfaced. Just like Howard Beale in "Network," (1976) so many people are "... as mad as hell and ... not going to take this any more!"   The quote is the epitome of life imitating art imitating life. This Aquarius Full Moon is highlighting that frustration we are all feeling. Thankfully, the Universe is stepping in with some healing salve to help calm down the volatility of the emotions. There is a loose Cradle aspect that has formed from the opposition of the Mars and Pluto, adding a united front on either side of the Uranus powerpoint of the T-square. Chiron and Jupiter are working together as team players to try to tone down the frustration and add back in a sense of respect and responsibility.  Like Howard Beale, Jupiter and Chiron are letting it be known that it's simply not enough to sit on the sidelines and click our tongues at the senseless behavior. The Full Moon article at Lunar Living provides some timelines and suggestions for handling the energies over the next few days while the aspects from Chiron and Jupiter wrangle with the T-square. And a quick alert; this square aspect (approx 2 deg. orb) between Uranus in Aries and Pluto in Capricorn could be just a taste of what's to come in the future. There will be seven exact (0 deg. orb) square-offs between these two planets starting June 24, 2012 until March 16, 2015.

Aquarius New Moon - February 3, 2011

Happy Chinese New Year - The year of the Rabbit starts today. This New Moon has the potential for healing but in ways we are not totally accustomed to. We can heal by detaching from the emotional connections so that we can see our situations from a different perspective. There's also a boost for the development of quirky new relationships.  These are those types of friendships/love matches that we normally would not attract. Don't be afraid to explore these connections.  They may not last long, but there is the potential for a lot of fun and adventure while it lasts. The Lunar Article @ http://www.lunarliving.org has been posted today.

The past few weeks since the Solar Eclipse have certainly provided some surprises for leaders around the world. Prayers go out to safe transitions for all who are dealing with turmoil and unrest.  Jupiter ingressed to Aries on  January 22. Leadership and aggressions are likely to be impacted by Jupiter's transit in Aries. Saturn's retrograde in Libra began on January 26. Business and marriage partnership could be restructured while Saturn is in the "review" state of Libra. Mercury will ingress Aquarius February 3 and Venus will ingress Capricorn on February 4.

Today was Groundhog Day and based on the various reports, the Eastern U.S. regions are less likely than the Western U.S. to have to put up with too much more winter.... or will we?  I just discovered today that we've been relying on the wrong rodent "hog" for the wintery forecast. *The Romans used Hedgehogs to predict how much longer winter weather would endure. Oy! No wonder Punxsutawney Phil's predictions are only 40% accurate!

Plus, a Happy Valentine's Wish and Hug to all our friends.
