Your Daily Dose — Moon in Taurus — October 9, 2014

The Moon in Taurus

So after the eclipse madness, we all come back down to earth as the Moon moves into earthy Taurus. You find it a necessity to express yourself in concrete ways as the Taurean realm is concerned with practicality, reliability, and reality. While the Moon was in Aries, the energy was fast and furious, but the gentle vibe of Taurus promotes spending time doing things you enjoy. Furthermore, unexpected changes that occur throughout the day could provoke anxious or unsettled feelings – try your best not to react.

The Moon makes a couple of aspects today. Communication could be tricky during the morning hours (especially in relationships) as the Moon opposes Mercury retrograde. Think about what you say before you say it. During the afternoon things will improve as the Moon sextiles Neptune opening opportunities for creative expression. Spend some time to get in touch with your feelings and reconnect with your spiritual core.

Lunar Eclipse in Aries — October 8, 2014

Lunar Eclipse in Aries

The #1 topic I get asked to write about is eclipses. There is something mysterious, ominous, and awe inspiring about these heavenly events which happen in cycles approximately every 6 months that puts those with even the slightest astrological knowledge into a frenzy.

I will admit eclipses are not my area of expertise. I tend to look at them psychologically and spiritually rather than attempting to predict events with them. I would probably even debate that outer events that often occur simultaneously with eclipses are physical manifestations of a psychological or spiritual process.

There is a bit of controversy over what in the chart is influenced by an eclipse. Some astrologers pay attention to every planet in or around (3 degree orb) the eclipse, while other astrologers only focus on the conjunction and opposition aspects. I personally believe that since an eclipse is either a New Moon (Solar Eclipse) or a Full Moon (Lunar Eclipse) that for the sake of simplicity its best to focus on the conjunction and oppositions. This makes the chart easier to manage especially when there is an eclipsed planet.

Daily Astrology — Sun oppose Uranus — October 7, 2014

The Sun in Libra opposes Uranus in Aries

If you have planets between 11-17 degrees of Aries, Cancer, Libra, or Capricorn then pay closer attention to this forecast. If you need a copy of your horoscope, you can get one for free on my site.

The Sun in Libra will oppose Uranus in Aries. This aspect is notorious for shaking things up and it is best to expect the unexpected in your encounters through the day. Since the aspect is an opposition, relationships are highlighted at this time. Uranus is the planet that rules freedom and when he is caught up in relationship oriented aspects, he can tend to be rather disruptive, impatient, argumentative, and downright strange. We then may develop a spirit of restlessness in our relationships that ultimately need to be resolved or further complications or relationship ambivalence may rise to the surface. Make sure to take some time to analyze any restlessness because these feelings may indicate areas of dissatisfaction with your life. Finally, with all Uranian aspects be very careful throughout the day as you may be prone to accidents.

Tarot Card of the Day – 6 of Pentacles – You may receive unexpected help from people in your life. Financial assistance may arrive in the nick of time. Additionally, it may be necessary for you to pay it forward or have compassion for those around you. A good spirit always cheers up anyone’s day.

Sun Square Saturn — Today’s Astrology — February 11, 2014

Sun in Aquarius will square Saturn in Scorpio at 2:57 PM EST / 11:57 AM PST

Grab your charts. If you need a copy of yours, you can get one for free on my website. If you have any planets around 20-24 degrees of Taurus, Leo, Scorpio or Aquarius then this astrological energy will be of increased significance to you.

Are you feeling discouraged? Held back? Denied the life that you want to live? If so, you are not alone! We all go through periods of restrictions, obstacles, discouragement, and we feel that we are beating ourselves against the wall hoping that we can get through to the other side. We all go through it.

Three years ago, I was at a turning point in my life. The world around me had changed in a way that I could no longer manage myself or my business the way that I had managed it up to that point. I was at a breaking point, and although I had achieved a lot in my 40 years on the planet, I fell into a despair that ultimately changed my life. My fears got me to where I was, but I was not going to let them rule me forever. In the process of this change, I had to get busy with the art of living.

On Tuesday, we have an extremely frustrating aspect — The Sun in Aquarius will square Saturn in Scorpio. This aspect can be depressive, very difficult to handle, and can lead to enormous frustrations. You may feel held back by others, by life, or even by your lack of taking personal responsibility. Your energy may be low and you may fall into the depths of despair. I am going to be blunt – this aspect is not easy. However, this energy is necessary for our personal soul growth and evolution.

Rob Hand writes the following in his book, “Planets in Transit”:

“The purpose of discouragement is to reveal weaknesses in your conception of yourself and show where you must work to gain greater confidence in yourself.” (Hand pg. 76)

I found this sentence to be very enlightening. I have read Hand’s book numerous times as an astrologer or astrological student, it is one of the cornerstone textbooks that any practicing or student astrologer should have on their shelves. However, I had never looked at discouragement (possibly because I was not ready) in this manner.

Today, we have an opportunity to look at our personal conception of ourselves. How do you see yourself on the most basic level? Are you where you want to be in life? Are your beliefs about yourself accurate or are they based on fears that may be limiting you? In order to work with Saturn, we must get deep and often get our hands dirty in the darkest corners of our psyche. In many ways, we are required under this transit to refine ourselves and become more real in order to achieve personal fulfillment. By going through this inner process we will find our personal authenticity and reclaim our dignity.

Mercury Retrograde in Pisces — Today’s Astrology — February 6, 2014

February 5, 2014 by admin Leave a Comment

Mercury Retrograde in Pisces at 4:43 PM EST / 1:43 PM PST

Grab your charts. If you need a copy of yours, you can get one for free at my website. If you have any planets in Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, or Pisces then this astrological energy will be of increased significance to you.

It’s that time again! That dastardly mischievous and trickster planet Mercury will go retrograde on Thursday. So, before I get into the delineation of the meaning of Mercury retrograde, I must remind everyone that problems with electronics, travel plans, traveling, communication will become challenging over the next three weeks. In addition, this is not the time to make big purchases, sign documents, or move from one residence to another. However, it is a time for deep reflection.

Mercury retrograde is one of the few astrological terms that has made its way into pop culture. Of all the day to day astrological phenomena, it is the most annoying and those that follow astrology all shriek whenever this retrogradation appears. However, Mercury rules our mind and our ability to process data and information. As annoying as it may be Mercury retrograde is a necessary process of development as it lets us sort through the information we have acquired since the last Mercury retrograde period (it ended on November 10, 2013) and begin to use this information to make choices and decisions about our future.

This Mercury retrograde is in the sign of Pisces. Although Pisces is known in spiritual based circles as the sign of spirituality (of which it can be), during this retrograde period it’s more likely to show its more negative face – confusion, doubt, addictions, and self-defeating behavior. If you notice these feelings and behaviors rising to the surface it’s time to take some time to reflects and see where they are coming from. After all, we can use this energy in a positive way to modify old and existing habits and use Mercury’s power of understanding to eliminate the effect they have on our lives.

In the world chart (set for Jerusalem in Kabbalah), Scorpio is rising indicating mental anxiety and anguish, which is compounded by Saturn being in the first house of the chart ruling both our thoughts (the third house) and emotions (the fourth house). Mercury sits in the emotional based fourth house of the chart conjoined to both Neptune (confusion) and Chiron (wounds). Further, Mercury rules the 8^th house (death and regeneration) and the 11^th house (social circle, our need to be part of a group). As you can see from this configuration, relationships with others can be highly influenced during this cycle and with Scorpio rising conflicts may occur which may need to be addressed as they arise. Regardless of the difficulties, problems that occur are usually rectified once Mercury goes direct, yet it is important for us to remember that worldly problems are usually the result of internal problems that ultimately need to be addressed.

Mercury goes direct on February 28^th.
