Relationships are messy. They can bring us a level of happiness that we cannot find anywhere else, and they can bring us more misery than many of us care to handle. Relationships can cause the greatest amount of laughter or they can provoke a flood of the most painful tears.

Over the past 25 years as a reader (both astrologically and psychically), the largest lesson that I have learned from my clients is our difficulty understanding the mysterious other in relationships. In many ways, we have a fantasy that everyone that we have emotional feelings for has the same desires we have. This is simply not so! The problem in our relationships is that we have been programmed (through television, magazines, and our social milieu) to believe that we are all seeking the same things in relationships, and as a result we get so caught up in our “physical desires” that we fail to even ask questions that might help us make adequate decisions about relationships. On countless occasions, I have had to tell clients that the problems in relationships is that we tend to believe everyone thinks like we do, and as a result we end up emotional devastated, hurt, and upset when our romantic visions do not materialize the way we would like them to.

On January 11, Venus retrograde in Capricorn sextiles Saturn in Scorpio. This is a very opportunistic aspect to get your relationships headed in the right direction. Saturn likes realism and Venus retrograde provides us the ability to have inner insight into our true needs out relationships. This is a great day for you to do some inner work and ask yourself, “What do I REALLY want and need out of a relationship?” Once you have figured out what you want and need you can then seek out compatible individuals who share the same mindset, if you are single. If you are currently in a relationship, this is a great time for you to sit down with your partner and explore what both of you want out of the relationship and get on the same page with a plan on how to move the relationship forward. This is a great day for great things to happen in relationships – don’t let it pass you by.

Mercury Conjunct Venus – Today’s Astrology — January 7, 2014

January 2, 2014 by admin Leave a Comment

Mercury in Capricorn conjoins Venus in Capricorn at 5:02 PM EST / 2:02 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 around 25-29 degrees of Aries, Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Libra, or Capricorn this forecast’s energies will be more significant for you.

Several months ago, a few of the regular readers of my Facebook page and my blog wrote to me and asked if I would start writing my daily astrology articles again. I will admit, I really did not want to do it. I have written them on and off for 10 years and how many times can you really write about daily aspects (which are usually the inner planets aspecting each other) and not eventually get bored with it. I had to find another way of writing about them or I would eventually begin dreading it. So, this incarnation of the Cosmic Weather Forecast, I have decided to find something more meaningful to write about when these aspects occur. You will notice my blending in some self-help tips along with the daily astrology in order for you to use the current planetary energies in a proactive way.

This leads me to Mercury in Capricorn conjoined to Venus in Capricorn Rx. Rx meaning retrograde – that scary word that usually is preceded by the word Mercury. Despite our pop culture knowledge of Mercury retrograde, all the planets except for the Sun and Moon go retrograde. However, the inner planets being retrograde (since they primarily deal with our day to day lives) seem to have the most influence over us. Yet, despite astrologer’s best intentions to describe what occurs during a retrograde process, it still amazes me at how these planetary motions still seem to grab people by the short hairs with their irritations and inconveniences.

I suppose the problem with retrogrades is that they shake up the flow of energy to the point where they feel alien to our modern sensibilities. Many would consider them unnatural – but are they really? So, how can we work with retrogrades in a productive way?

Claire Martin has this to say about retrogrades in her book, “Mapping the Psyche”:

“The words beginning with the prefix ‘re’ (which literally means ‘back again’) tend to be gentle, healing words describing the bringing together of that which has been previously separated. Since retrograde is a word beginning with the prefix ‘re’, we can possibly assume that planets when they are retrograde offer us some avenue towards healing circumstances that have previously been separated. In many cases (especially with Mercury and Venus), retrogrades often bring people back from the past in order for us to achieve emotional closure and help us to move beyond the emotional pain of a situation if we are willing to work with the energy.

On January 7, Mercury in Capricorn will conjoin with Venus retrograde in Capricorn. Venus retrogrades provide us with an opportunity to revisit relationships (a ‘re’ word on its own that may imply that relationships provide us with a vehicle towards inner healing) and partnerships and make repairs where necessary. Of course, this usually includes the ‘toxins’ from relationships making their way to the surface in order to make us aware (annoyingly and painfully) of any problems that may exist. Furthermore, Mercury conjoining Venus provides us a gateway through which to open dialogue and address any relationship concerns that may be occurring. In fact, if used correctly, this aspect gives us the ability to IMPROVE relationships better than ever before. If you have been afraid or hesitant about addressing any relationship concerns, Mercury conjoined with Venus will give you the right words to use and the diplomacy (lovely Venusian word) to achieve the results you want.

Cosmic Weather Forecast — March 26, 2009

March 26, 2009 by Storm Cestavani Leave a Comment

“Ready. Set. Go!” is the anthem as four planets converge in the sign of Aries. This includes the fiery and free spirited New Moon which occurs during the morning hours in most of the United States. The New Moon always brings forth the end of one cycle, and the beginning of another.

However, this New Moon is the same degree as the solar eclipse, which occurred in the sign of Aquarius on January 26, 2009 — bringing forth the issues of late January to the surface in both mundane and personal matters. Take a few moments to reflect on the events of your life during the end of January, and you may see new beginnings occurring in the areas of your life affected by the eclipse.

The great news is that a New Moon in Aries has enormous energy, and can provide us with the momentum necessary to create movement in a quick and effective manner. The Sun and Moon conjoined with benefic Venus, and quick spirited Mercury provide a matrix of grasping the possible. Although, the Moon in Aries is intense, impatient, and restless its desire to pursue the difficult and unobtainable gives us the momentum needed to reach our goals. In addition, New Moons in Aries can jump start circumstances or situations that we have considered moving forward with, but we may as have yet had the time or motivation to initiate.

Moreover, this New Moon is squared (obstacles) the planet Pluto which rules obsessions and compulsions. You will notice a sense of urgency (just watch the evening news about the economic crisis) over the next few weeks to turn over a new leaf, create a new plan, enact a new strategy, and begin a new phase of life. In essence, this combination is a struggle between fear of change, and unavoidable change. The instruction of the aspect is for us to focus on the areas of life that we can no longer afford to ignore and make a concentrated effort in utilizing this New Moon cycle to create a new productive foundation to move forward with.

We ushered in 2009 with the mantra of, “Yes, we can!” The cosmic forces are propelling us to a new level of determination, motivation, and vision. We will begin to hear a new roar of an Arian nature pushing forth with a new chant and new slogan of “Yes, we will!”
