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.

Sagittarius New Moon - December 5, 2010

The Sagittarius New Moon is the precursor to the Winter Solstice Lunar Eclipse December 21, 2010. The New Moon should have a calming quality, for the most part. Of course, with Mars and Mercury still transiting Out of Bounds, and now the Moon will also be OOB for a few days, we could easily get caught off guard. Yet, that seems to be the nature of the Out of Bounds transits.  We can minimize some of that by being prepared. Additionally, Mercury's retrograde motion starting on December 10 will likely make a fine smear of a mess on the Christmas holiday. Those individuals who do their shopping, preparation and travel arrangements early in the month, will be the least impacted. But for many, that early preparation takes all the fun and adventure out of the event. Be that as it may, this holiday season is likely to be a lot like the 2003 Christmas Mercury Retrograde. If you remember that one, you will want to plan your events to NOT have a repeat of that. Read more about this New Moon's aspects at http://www.lunarliving.org/

New Moon in Virgo Alert - September 8, 2010

The New Moon in Virgo on September 8 while Mercury is retrograde in Virgo is giving us a healthy perspective on our environment. We certainly can find new releases on our energies with this New Moon. Where we are still faltering is under the weight of the Cardinal t-square that continues to challenge all of us. Thankfully, as the days go by, little by little, planets are moving out of the square, and releasing us with a new sense of confidence.  Venus will ingress Scorpio for a mutual reception to Mars in Libra on September 8. Jupiter will "re-gress" back into Pisces on September 9. Then Mercury will station direct on the 12th and Pluto will station direct on the 14th. There's likely to be some confusion in the air, but for now, we can certainly utilize this crisp New Moon's energies for an invigorating outlook.

Full Moon in Pisces Alert - August 24, 2010

The Sun is barely in Virgo and this Full Moon event on August 24 so early in the opposing sign of Pisces, we know that there is a whole lot of sump'in going on. A lot of planetary transition at the zero declination over the equator is one reason for the tense feelings.

The Mercury Retrograde in Virgo is one more reason. The remainder of the Cardinal T-square configuration is another. The Grand Square of August 6/7 continues to reverberate its messages each time the Moon transits over the Cardinal Point. The next Cardinal Point transit by the Moon will be on August 26/27.  Thankfully, we have lots of work and activities to keep us distracted. One key to navigating through this Full Moon will be staying alert. We need to focus on our own work load and clearing that up first. Keep the gossip to a minimum or it could bite us in the buttocks.
