Aries New Moon - March 22, 2012

BIG Apologies!  I'm late in letting folks know that the New Moon article is posted at Lunar Living.  I was able to get the article posted on time, however I was caught off guard with the busyness of the spring break week. My other job demands my full attention during certain periods so I make certain to have the essentials in place and hoped to be able to get the rest of the projects here and there.  Well, here never happened, and now there is all I have left. This New Moon continues to hold the Earth Grand Trine between Jupiter, Mars retrograde and Pluto. There is an actual opposition now between Mars and Chiron that adds the Kite influences more strongly. But, the message continues to be the same as with the Full Moon earlier in March. We're more productive if we work behind the scenes to accomplish our goals for the next two days and then, we can begin to reveal more about our accomplishments without the scrutiny of others.

Newsletter Updates

Okay; as many of you know by now, I am not a prolific blogger nor am I a social media socialite or online networking mogul. I have a real life schedule that I work with that keeps me feeling some sense of balance. For some of my readers that means I'm super lazy, and for some, that I'm super busy. haha That comes across as very unbalanced, doesn't it? My main goal is to provide consistent quality content on a consistent routine basis.

One of these consistent routines has been the Lunar Living Newsletter "Moon Alert" that I send out approximately twice a month. The Alert is typically a short shout-out to let readers know that the Moon Event article is available online, a few updates about other events and a quick promo of features that Lunar Living has for users online. Several years ago, this newsletter was made available for "feed readers" online. However, a recent event has me scratching my head and wondering if I should continue with the feed access. 

For now, the newsletter feed access is still available, but in a slightly modified format. It won't be too noticeable what the changes are, but certain links have been changed or removed from the archived format. It is not my intent to alarm anyone. It is my intent to explain that there will be slight changes since the readers of Lunar Living's information have come to accept my routines and have a habit of contacting me when they notice that my routine has changed.

Thanks and be well!

Virgo Full Moon - March 8, 2012

Celebrating the Worm Moon with GummiWorms! This Full Moon in Virgo will present us with opportunities but we may feel a total let down if we can't figure out how to access any of those opportunities.  It all boils down to how we approach it. We may not be mentally or emotionally up for the task.  The proverbial "devil in the details" is going to be a stumbling block for a lot of us. As explained in the Lunar Living article today, the Grand Trine during this Full Moon may present us with many potentials that we could find difficult to receive. To get the most out of the Earth Grand Trine, check out where Chiron is transiting in our natal chart for the hint in finding the most productive way to move forward.

Pisces New Moon - February 21, 2012

As you have probably figured out by now, Aquarius and its jarring influence is now basically behind us.  Neptune has moved into its home turf, so to speak. In modern astrology teachings, Neptune rules over Pisces. We are facing a new frontier that we have not had the pleasure of encountering in the past.  The last time that Neptune was in Pisces was in the mid-1800s. The New Moon in Pisces is forming a conjunction with Neptune and Chiron with an out of sign trine to Saturn retrograde still seemingly stuck on that anaretic 29th degree of Libra. The Lunar Living moon event article addresses this. There is a new sense of calm with this New Moon, but Saturn is doing absolutely nothing to reduce the stressors that we have been sensing this past month. We have two more weeks of this strange energy that we will need to deal with. There is likely to be a whole new set of mixed emotions to try to navigate through. However, the next few weeks are an excellent time to prepare for the Earth Grand Trine between Mars, Jupiter and Pluto. Set your sights on that energy, and most likely, other issues will feel less pressing.

Leo Full Moon - February 7, 2012

The Snow Moon, or occasionally referred to as the Hunger Moon, is usually the Full Moon of Leo when survival seems the most harsh after several months of winter in the Northern regions of the Northern Hemisphere. However, the reality on our round orb known as Earth, there is also a Summer happening on the other side. This is the "opposing universe," so to speak, where the warm rays of the Sun are nurturing and caressing the southern hemisphere, unless there's a shortage of rain that then causes a different form of harsh reality. Lunar Living article explores this Leo Full Moon's paradox from the Saturn "Squat" on the Libra anaretic degree to the approaching Grand Trine of Jupiter, Mars and Pluto. Just gotta love the Aquarius energies that have us reacting like ping-pong balls.
