Venus and Mars — Help me find my inner muse?

Venus and Mars — Help me find my inner muse?

Hi, Everyone, This is a tough article to write. I have been in a form of career crisis for a while. I have lost my creativity and passion. I have thought of walking away from astrology altogether, but I know this is just a lull. I imagine many of you feel the same. While we are in a time of infinite invention and possibility in the New Age of Aquarius, it feels so caged, confining, and catastrophic at times. We began this year with a HUGE Venus retrograde, and it still has not cleared its shadow. On December 19, 2021, Venus retrograded at 26 degrees and 29 minutes of the Cardinal sign of Capricorn. Capricorn is a sign that is ruled by Saturn, the cosmic taskmaster that insists you be held accountable for your choices and decisions. Pluto represents toxicity, purging, death, renewal, and evolution. Venus is a personal planet that takes 225 days to orbit the sun. Venus and Mars are the only personal planets that do not retrograde annually. Venus retrogrades once every eighteen months for forty days, and it is a time of intensive reflection around all things Venusian: Femininity, love, money, creativity, beauty, elegance, and kindness. When Venus retrogrades, it is not an ideal time to begin a financial relationship nor is it ideal to get married. People you meet may be off in some way. There can also be a very karmic connection when people meet under Venus retrograde.

Venus has already met up with Pluto two times in the sky: December 19, 2021 at 25 degrees and 19 minutes of Capricorn; December 25, 2021 at 25 degrees and 43 minutes of Capricorn. This is not easy. This is taking a nose dive into the depths of pain, loss, depression, and endings. There has been great loss since Eclipse season in late November/early December. Venus entered Capricorn on November 5th, 2021 and will tour through Capricorn until March 6, 2022, which is approximately four months in total.

This is finding the strength within yourself in a time where you see your cup as half empty. In reality, it might be for now. This can change, but when there is such strong Capricornian influence, it is essential to take note of what is and is not working in your life. The other introspective tone that began this year is that Mercury, which is also a personal planet, retrograded on January 14, 2022 at 10 degrees and 20 minutes of Aquarius and stationed direct on February 3 at 24 degrees and 22 minutes of Capricorn.

This replays the first year of The New Age of Aquarius, so you can determine how you expand your skills and morph to an increased digital age beyond that in which we already engaged, which is both alienating and inclusive at the same time. Genius will soar. You will see. Right now, the turbulence, fear, and loss are so damn immense. It is okay to grieve. In fact, it is essential.

When Mercury stationed direct on February 3, 2022, it did so at the degree where Pluto was transiting this past couple of years. More reflection on what you to eliminate in your life? How do you take action through your thoughts, ideas, and learning to empower yourself? How do you eliminate toxic patterns that keep you from constructing something meaningful?

Mercury re-entered the fixed air sign of Aquarius on February 14, 2022 at 4:45 pm EST where it will transit through March 9, 2022. Mercury is exalted and erudite while in Aquarius. Although I am not a trekkie by any means, you can expect a lot of Aquarian and Uranian energy associated with that enterprise. Go where no wo(man) has gone before! This is certainly possible for all right now, but it certainly has not felt so for me in recent time. How many of you feel the same way? I speak to many of you each week, and I know.

I try to be your cosmic cheerleader to my best ability, but this feels very sad to me. I almost walked away from doing Astrology because my heart is broken like so many of yours. The other day, I was two steps away from deleting my channel. Yet, I know I have to keep going. Saturn is still at the helm — lest we forget. Saturn rules Capricorn, where Venus, Mars, and Pluto are still transiting. Saturn also rules Aquarius in ancient Astrology.

Saturn rules Capricorn, where Venus, Mars, and Pluto are still transiting. Saturn also rules Aquarius in ancient Astrology.

I want to remind both myself and you that there is still so magic out there. We cannot give up on things that do mean something to ourselves and to the collective. In fact, it is more essential than ever to keep going. Saturn can be that annoying math teacher in eighth grade that you know does not like you; but, you can also get her back and score 98 percent on your final exam. That’s what I did at the time! That day, she actually smiled. She also got me to learn.

We are building up to a magical Full Moon, and I can say I do feel quite a transition from yesterday. Mercury is now inventive, social, and curious while in Aquarius. It is also not as strict or demanding. Venus and Mars have been transiting together since the end of January; but, their magic felt faint. Although Venus is still having therapy sessions with Pluto, she gets to tango with Mars for some inspiration, fun, and passion!

Venus and Mars will dance together until April 4, 2022. They first met up on July 13, 2021 at 19 degrees and 48 minutes of the Fixed Fire sign of Leo, which rules the heart chakra. They meet up a second time tomorrow on February 16, 2022 at 9:29 am EST at 16 degrees and 53 minutes of the Cardinal Earth sign of Capricorn. In our lifetime Venus retrogrades in five signs. In some cases, it will retrograde back to the late degrees of the previous sign.

Venus retrogrades in Capricorn every eight years. Venus and Mars usually meet up once every year for approximately ten days. This round, they are dancing for two months. They met up last summer, and they will form a third and final conjunction on March 6, 2022 at 0 degrees of Aquarius, which is the degree that began the New Age of Aquarius on 12/20/20. Mars will first meet up with Pluto on March 3, 2022 at 27 degrees and 50 minutes of Capricorn.

Venus follows suit and meets up with the cosmic purger on the very same day at 12:56 PM EST. This can be very sexy energy! It can also bring big reveals with money and sex scandals. Major endings and intensity on that day! It could also be a passionate first date!

On March 5th and March 6th, Venus and Mars will have a sexy affair and transition to the cerebral and social side when they meet up officially at the very first degree of Aquarius, which is where Saturn and Jupiter met up on the Winter Solstice in 2020. Saturn is the planet of karma, responsibility, and restrictions. Jupiter is the planet of expansion, vision, and hope.

Saturn and Jupiter meet up every twenty years, and they met up closest in the sky in over eight hundred years in the element of Air to initiate a new twenty year vision at the very first degree of Aquarius. Venus and Mars will trigger this point in early March and remind us to still hold a vision. As we re-calibrate our cosmic and literal direction, it is time to muster the magic that the two planets of desire can paint for each and every one of us. We just need to pick up the paint brushes and paint with them!

The Full Moon occurs on February 16, 2022 at 27 degrees and 29 minutes of the fixed fire sign of Leo. This is right at the Royal Fixed star of Regulus, which is the king maker and the queen maker. Be what you want to be! Leo rules the heart. It is a sign that likes to have fun and express itself! This Full Moon also sets of the Total Solar Eclipse that occurred on August 21, 2017 and was visible in most parts of the United States. What did you try to invoke at that time? Call to your heart.

I cast the Full Moon chart for Washington DC, and the ascendant is 27 degrees of Aries. Mars rules the chart and is conjunct Venus at 16 degrees and 53 minutes of Capricorn, which sets off the Venus starpoint that occurred on January 8, 2022 at 18 degrees of Capricorn. The Full Moon is a time of culmination, release, and letting go. This Full Moon has so much promise with Mars and Mercury both in their exaltation and so strong. Venus and Mars deliver a jolt of energy of passion that hopefully rocks your world or gets the process going. #astrology #horoscope #venusandmarsfulfillmystars #zodiacsigns #love

Post Venus Retrograde: How do you own love and value?

Post Venus Retrograde: How do you own love and value?

Hi, Everyone,

 

This week, the energy is moving ahead in the cosmos. The year of 2022 began with a reflective tone. Venus, the planet of relationships, value, money, love, and romance, stationed retrograde on December 19, 2022 at 26 degrees of the Cardinal Earth sign of Capricorn.

This, in turn, triggered where Pluto, the planet of death and transformation, stationed retrograde, at end of April of 2021 when it retrograded on April 27, 2021 at 26 degrees of Capricorn.

Saturn, which rules the sign of Capricorn and is the planet of restrictions, reality, limitations, commitment, accountability, and structure, was transiting back at forth at 26 degrees of Capricorn from February 12, 2020 through November 4, 2020.

In the year of 2020, we were at the height of the Epoch of Capricorn. March of 2020 is when most of us really began lockdown and saw many structures of our world change forever. Venus stationed direct on January 29, 2022 at 11 degrees and five minutes of Capricorn, which is where Saturn was transiting in December of 2018 and early January of 2019.

What can you revise and do in a different way that you were unable to do at the beginning and height of the rigid Capricorn era, or even pre-pandemic when it was at its height; but, it was a time of rigid realism. Venus initially entered its shadow on November 17, 2021 when it reached 11 degrees of Capricorn, and it clears its shadow on March 1, 2022 when it exceeds 26 degrees and 29 minutes of Capricorn. This is the best of both words in that you can move ahead in your goals and commit to projects to which you wish to commit.

Venus only retrogrades once every eighteen months. It retrogrades once every eight years in the Cardinal Earth sign of Capricorn. The more you work with Saturn, which is the cosmic taskmaster and ruler of the sign of Capricorn, the more you will construct your goals with finances, relationships, and with self. It is time to set healthy boundaries with integrity and hard work.

Although Venus is definitely direct, it has reflective energy for a few reasons. Venus entered the Cardinal Earth sign of Capricorn on November 5, 2021 and will transit in this sign of realism, pragmatism, and lessons, through March 6, 2022. Capricorn can summon up the old lessons in our lives where we have not gotten clear, or where we still need to take ownership or set limits.

Currently, there are four points transiting in Capricorn: Mars, the planet of action, passion, and primal desire; Venus, the planet of love, possessions, and resources; Mercury, the planet of learning, the mind, networking, and sales; Pluto, the planet of power, transformation, and transcendence.

Mercury is also a personal planet, and it represents communication, thoughts, ideas, perspective, and transportation. Mercury initially retrograded on January 14, 2022 at 10 degrees and 20 minutes of the fixed Air sign of Aquarius with a square to Uranus, which is the planet of chaos, surprise, and brilliance. Uranus is also the modern ruler of Aquarius and embodies our favorite mad genius of the universe quite well.

Mercury is a personal planet that retrogrades three to four times a year for approximately three weeks. Venus retrogrades for forty days and is much more intense and more of a big deal. However, it is worthy to note that in The New Age of Aquarius, change is fast, furious, rapid, and exciting. This is all about the future, and Aquarius would not have it any other way. However, with all of the planets transiting in the sign of accountability alongside the two personal planets asking you to ask within and beg the question, “Is this really working for you?”

Now is time to get on it and change your course. Cardinal signs not only launch seasons, but they are also signs that want you to do something about your issues and make change happen. The Cardinal signs are Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn.

Whoever came up with the Nike Ad campaign probably had a lot of Cardinal energy in his or chart: Just do it! Well, yeah, I think you get the point. The Universe is saying just that to you right now. You have been working under the constructs of severe limitations and severe loss. Pluto, the planet of death, was transiting at the world point for a few years and met up with Saturn, planet of karma, on January 12, 2020. Much loss. Much ending. What do you want to contribute to your world and the world outside you?

Venus clears its shadow on March 3 when it meets up with Mars and Pluto and digs you through the emotional swamps to purge the pain in a way that can feel at times truly heartbreaking. You have to feel. You cannot let yourself become robotic and detached in the New Age of Aquarius. It could be easy to do with all that the world has endured. Jupiter in Pisces is expanding the empathy, selflessness, and devotion that makes the world worth living.

Venus is transiting with Mars, the planet of passion, through early April, 2022. Mars is currently out-of-bounds through February 11, 2022, which means its exceeds the Sun’s path by declination. Mars is in its exaltation while in Capricorn and is in a phenomenal place to get things done. Mars out-of-bounds means that people are extra energized to get things done!

Venus and Mars are currently dancing in the sky together through early April, 2022. This is such beautiful energy that will assist the magic possible with Jupiter in Pisces. Pisces is the most creative and empathetic of the water signs. Venus and Mars are the cosmic lovers that are having a long cosmic tryst in the sky that demand reality, work, commitment ; as well as magic, infinite possibility, community, and friendship. These are exciting times of a creative renaissance in a time of a very turbulent current.

Mercury and Pluto meet up on February 11, 2022 at 9:04 am EST and can induce some major power struggles and triangles. People can be very cutting with words when Mercury and Pluto meet up; yet, it is an excellent combination for business and financial commitments and agreements. Pluto ends things, and there will inevitably be breakups, endings of business commitments, and some power matches. Use the higher energy of these two planets.

It is a great synergy of planets for doing research and delving in deeply into a subject. It is a very perceptive aspect in and of itself. It invites you to eliminate your limited beliefs and negative thinking so that you can achieve great things? There is a lot of magic in a time of tragedy. It is necessary to marry those two facts so that you honor all that have been hit by this sad time in history; but, so that you also never forget that magic is possible and strength of character is imperative.

That is Capricorn for you: it is a sign of character! Mars, Venus, and Mercury all you want you to plan and take micro steps to live a life worth living and contribute to the collective, which is the Aquarian mission amongst all of this.

Mercury forms a beautiful trine to the North Node of Karma on February 12, 2022, and this is a time where you make great connections in business and social life. Pay attention to whom you meet and to what comes up that day for you. Pluto forms a beautiful trine to the North Node of Karma on February 14, 2022 at 4:17 pm EST, and this could also bring in soul mates and amazing experiences — financially and romantically.

Mercury re-enters Aquarius at 4:54 pm EST on February 14, 2022, where it will transit through March 9, 2022. Mercury is exalted in Aquarius and loves being here to network, connect with others, and innovate a new future. I wish you much luck and encourage you to work with the magic of Venus and Mars in their cosmic love dance.

Full Moon in Cancer: Searching for something

Full Moon in Cancer: Searching for something

HI, Everyone,

The year has only just begun; yet, this upcoming week, the planets will be dancing and fighting in different aisles. Mercury, the planet of communication, retrograded on January 14, 2022 at 6:41 pm EST at 10 degrees and 20 minutes of Aquarius. This is the first Mercury retrograde of 2022, and it is perfect timing to reconsider your path, choices, and actions to propel forward in an unpredictable time.

Mercury retrograded with a square to Uranus, the planet of surprise, which was almost exact! When Mercury and Uranus clash, thunderbolts of information can dispel the myths. You can hear something completely out-of-the-blue that brings complete change. Big breaks of information, explosions, earthquakes, and utter chaos. This aspect can be cause HUGE surprises, shocks, and news. Uranus is the modern ruler of Aquarius, and it is the higher octave of Mercury.

Uranus represents chaos, mayhem, and genius. When the two clash in the sky, it can be explosive, and people’s tempers can soar. The upside is that the brainstorming and flashes of insight could be off of the charts.

When Mercury retrogrades, it is a time to back up your electronics, reassess things, return to projects that are not finished, and realize that communication can be compromised. People from the past can return — especially when Venus, the planet of relationships, is also retrograde.

Mercury retrograded within a few degrees of where Saturn reached in 2021. Saturn initially entered Aquarius in March of 2020 and later had a very special encounter with Jupiter, the planet of vision and expansion, on December 20, 2020. Saturn and Jupiter met up on the Winter Solstice to begin the New Age of Aquarius. The New Age of Aquarius is a time in which infinite possibility is accessible through thinking in alternative ways, communing with others, and making peace with technology.

This is undoubtedly a Digital Revolution, which can facilitate businesses and individuals to rebuild their livelihood and earn money in ingenious new ways. The challenge is to find and keep some humanity in the technology if such a thing were even possible. This is Saturn Return of the Internet, which arrived in August 6, 1991 when Saturn was last in Aquarius. The Internet went public in 1994 when Saturn was transiting at the last degree of Aquarius, and sites like Yahoo began.

With the first Saturn return of the Internet, it is time to reconsider what it has done to people’s mental health, interpersonal skills, ego strength, and need for validation.

Mercury stationed retrograde minus with a few degrees of where Saturn reached in 2021 when it retrograded on May 23, 2021 at 13 degrees of Aquarius. This is opportune for you to reconsider the choices you made in 2021 towards you goals. It allows you the chance to revise and reconstruct an even better vision.

The energy at present is quite chaotic. No way around that. While Mercury stations retrograde, it is only a few days before the Uranus station. When an outer planet stations direct or retrograde, you feel the energy five days before and five days afterwards. The qualities of the planet become highlighted. Uranus is the planet of individuality, uniqueness, inspiration, inventiveness, anarchy, pandemonium, and bedlam.

With the Uranus station, it can make your mind ramble in many different directions, and it is very difficult to focus. Uranus stations retrograde on January 18, 2022 at 10:27 am EST at 10 degrees and 49 minutes of the fixed Earth sign of Taurus. This is a big time where you need to center yourself. This Mercury retrograde is an interesting one because of its initial square to Uranus, which challenges the question as to how you use your intellect to create new castles in the sky.

The other part is that Mercury will re-enter the Cardinal Earth sign of Capricorn on January 25, 2022 and stations direct on February 3, 2022 at 24 degrees and 22 minutes of Capricorn. This Mercury retrograde encompasses the energy of the New Age of Aquarius, and it also is an opportunity to readdress the Epoch of Capricorn, which really was so painful.

Saturn and Pluto met up at the world point at 22 degrees of Capricorn on January 12, 2020 and changed the world forever. Mass loss occurred and continues to occur until the technology and communal efforts help us to heal. Mercury will get close to the world point in Capricorn and also revisits the first year of the pandemic and revisits where Pluto, the cosmic compost, has been transiting in the past few years.

Add to that fact that Venus, the planet of partnerships, love, money, value, and possessions, retrograded on December 19, 2022 at 26 degrees of Capricorn, where Pluto had stationed retrograde in April of 2021, and where Saturn was transiting on and off from March 4, 2020 until November 4, 2020. Unfortunately, there is a huge spike in the virus, and the world is seeing more shutdowns again. It feels like hints of March of 2020.

Saturn is now transiting in the brilliant and futuristic sign of Aquarius, and Jupiter was there up until December 29, 2021, when it entered the mutable water sign of Pisces. Jupiter in Pisces is much needed water in the sky. It lends empathy, compassion, and creative sparks of magic. Jupiter loves being in Pisces and helps you to expand through your imagination and dreams. Saturn in Aquarius has and will make leaps and bounds in business and medicine; but, there is the chaos and unpredictability that is also inherent in this journey.

Saturn is the ancient ruler of Aquarius, and Uranus is the modern. Saturn and Uranus fought in the sky three times in 2021, and this made the Aquarian age even more difficult to anchor and structure. They will spar again in October, and the mayhem will still be part of the ride. You better tip your driver.

One of the big key points to hold on to is connecting to your spiritual and creative self in some form in this time. The sign of Aquarius rules Astrology, numerology, and metaphysics. It also rules advances in technology, science, electronics, and air travel. It can make you feel like you are dealing with the mad scientist, who is very nervous — rushing around with a twitch.

Aquarius can be anxious, nervous, and emotionally detached. With Jupiter in Pisces, have a cup of sympathy. Have a few. It is much needed. We need the water, and we’re going to get it!

There is more to explore, as there is a Full Moon on the day before the Uranus station, and the Nodes of Fate change signs on the day of the Uranus station! The Full moon occurs on January 17, 2022 at 6:48 pm EST at 27 degrees and 51 minutes of the Cardinal water sign of Cancer. The moon rules the Water sign of Cancer and is in its rulership. A lot of heavy emotions flow when the Moon is in Cancer! The sign of Cancer is very nurturing and is a very sensitive water sign. The moon centers on home, family, and security.

This Full Moon occurs within the two stations of Mercury and Uranus, where chaos is flying faster off of the shelves faster than toilet paper did in 2020. You need to ground. You need to center. This Full Moon in Cancer wants security. It wants to feel safe. The day before the Full Moon, The Sun in Capricorn meets up with Pluto, the planet of death and regeneration. Time to purge the old. Time to eliminate.

There are major endings and shifts in store in this next week. This is the first full moon of the year, and it forms a Cardinal T-Square with Pluto, the planet of death, power, and transformation; as well as Eris, the goddess of discord, who is also the sister of Mars. She does not suffer fools gladly, and she is willing to fight in a flash.

The Nodes of fate are currently transiting at 0 degrees of the mutable signs of Gemini and Sagittarius. Mercury rules the mutable air sign of Gemini, which rules the North Node before it exits the sign of Gemini. Reexamine your path as you begin a new one. The North enters the fixed earth sign of Taurus on January 18, 2022 at 1:50 pm EST, where it will transit through July 17, 2023. The South transits in the fixed water sign of Scorpio. A lot of emphasis on the banking system, currencies, new ways of earning income, agriculture, nature, plant based medicine, the marijuana industry, debt, loss, mourning, intimacy, healing, and transformation.

In the next few days, expect the unexpected. Pay attention to any insights you may get. Do rituals to quell your nerves — whether it is chanting, meditating, going for nature walks, riding your bike, listening to music, or journaling.

The Full Moon has a beautiful trine to Neptune in Pisces, and this an excellent aspect for manifesting your dreams and intentions. Get a Clear Quartz point or stone and ask for guidance. Do not keep it by your bedside, as that can amplify your emotions and really charge you up so that it is hard to sleep.

You could also keep purple amethyst or rose quartz by your bedside for protection and loving energy around you. Keep a journal by your bed as well. If you have a vivid dream, write it down as soon as you wake up and pay close attention to your dreams, guides, and messages this year with Jupiter transiting in the sign of the unconscious mind.

Cleanse and charge your crystals in the Full moon light. Hold them under running water or put them in salt water for a few minutes and think of what you wish to release. Eliminate the fear and negativity stored in the stones. Do not put selenite, kyanite, halite, or malachite in the water. You can also cleanse your space and your stones by burning palo santo or sage.

The Full Moon in Cancer is a time to seek comfort, nourishment, and joy at home. It is an excellent time of de cluttering to make space for the new. Another great tip for getting rid of negative energy with the Full Moon is to take a bowl and fill it up with salt. You can keep it on your desk or in an area where you work and spend a lot of time. This is a great natural detox. Get ready in the next few days for a lot of interesting news, high anxiety, and vivid dreams!

Venus Starpoint in Capricorn: What’s your plan?

Venus Starpoint in Capricorn: What’s your plan?

Hi, Everyone,

The New Age of Aquarius officially began on the Winter Solstice on December 21, 2020 when Saturn and Jupiter met up at the very first degree of the fixed Air sign of Aquarius. Saturn represents structure, karma, and accountability. Jupiter resents good fortune, opportunity, wisdom, and belief systems.

Saturn and Jupiter meet up in the sky every twenty years and usher in a new twenty year vision; however, this was the closest to the Earth that they had been in over eight hundred years. Saturn and Uranus both rule the sign of Aquarius. Uranus is the modern ruler, and it represents individuality, freedom, chaos, unpredictability, community, and groups.

Saturn and Uranus clashed three times in the sky in 2021. The first year of The Age of Aquarius had a lot of detours, setbacks, and unexpected change. Trying to construct security in a whole new paradigm is something that we are all learning to construct together.

Jupiter, the luckiest planet, recently entered the mutable water sign of Pisces on December 28, 2021, where it will tour on and off through December 20, 2022. Jupiter rules Pisces in ancient Astrology and is in its dignity. Jupiter loves being in Pisces. This is a time of expanding through diving into dreams, believing in your own imagination, and connecting to love and empathy. This is a time of magic. There is a wizard within, and it is time for you to cast your spell!

In the month of March, Jupiter and Neptune will start to dance together. Jupiter is the ancient ruler of Pisces, and Neptune is the modern. Jupiter represents the vision. Neptune represents the dream.

When Jupiter and Neptune meet up together, you can create a spark of wonder that can magnetize huge possibilities. The sky is the limit, and it is time to dream! Jupiter and Neptune get up close on April 9th, 2022. They become conjunct on April 12, 2022 at 23 degrees and 58 minutes of the mutable water sign of Pisces, which is boundless creativity. Things could feel more lost and confusing, and things could spread. Try to spread the love instead!

Venus, the planet of love, beauty, money, art, value, and desire, retrograded on December 19, 2021 at 26 degrees and 29 minutes of the Cardinal Earth sign of Capricorn. Venus retrograded at the degree at which Pluto had retrograded at end of April, 2021. Pluto is the planet of death, regeneration, and transformation. This is a time to purge relationships, habits, and resources that drain you. This is a time to heal the collective trauma and empower yourself. This is a time to commit to those relationships, values, and work that has meaning to you and can build your life in the long run.

Venus retrogrades once every year and a half. In our lifetime, it retrogrades in five signs. Venus retrogrades in the Cardinal Earth sign of Caricorn every eight years, and it last retrograded at approximately these degrees of Capricorn in December of 2013 and January of 2014. Venus is setting of where Saturn, which is the modern ruler of Capricorn, was transiting on and off from March 4, 2020 through November 4, 2020.

Venus and the Sun meet up every eight years in Capricorn to form what is known as a Venus Starpoint. Venus is currently retrograde. The Venus Sun starpoint happens when Venus sweeps between The Sun and The Earth and form an inferior conjunction. This is a new eight year cycle. Saturn rules the Cardinal sign of Capricorn, and it is a planet of responsiblity, accountability, and karma.

What do you want to work for in your life? What are the relationships you want to grow? What are you main aspirations? With Jupiter currently in the sign of Pisces at the very early degrees, this is a time of surrendering disbelief and meditating with intention.

Jupiter is still currently stirring the North Node of Karma, which is at the very early degrees of the mutable air sign of Gemini. A lot of fated and fortuitous connections can occur through networking, brainstorming, and communication of all forms.

The Venus/Sun Starpoint becomes exact on January 8, 2022 at 7:48 pm EST at 18 degrees of the Cardinal Earth sign of Capricorn. This triggers where Saturn was transiting on and off from March of 2019 through December of 2019. This also sets of where Pluto, the planet of elimation and empowerment, was transiting on and off from February of 2017 through end of October of 2018.

If there were goals you were not able to achieve at that time, this allows you to a chance to review your plan of action — especially since Venus is retrograde. Whenever Venus is retrograde, it is an ideal time to reassess, reconsider, readdress, reevaluate, and reconnect.

Make sure to find time on January 8, 2022 to do a ritual that speaks to you to help you launch a new eight year dream of what you want, and what you love. Burn sage or palo santo, work with Clear quartz points, clear out clutter, light your candles, burn incense, take a walk in nature, and do whatever helps you believe in enchanted journeys.

Full Moon in Gemini: Nothing is real!

Full Moon in Gemini: Nothing is real!

Hi, Everyone,

It is the final full moon of the year, and I am now looking up the January horoscopes! It is unbelievable that we are a year into the New Age of Aquarius. A year ago in December, Saturn and Jupiter met up at the first degree of the fixed Air sign of Aquarius to usher in a new story of rapid change, ingenuity, technology, and chaos.

Saturn is the planet of structure, responsibility, and karma. Jupiter is the planet of expansion, vision, and wisdom. The two converge every twenty years to form what is known as a great conjunction. On the Winter Solstice in 2020, Saturn and Jupiter paired up and were the closest in the sky that they had been for over 800 years. The two planets met at the first degree of the fixed Air sign of Aquarius to structure a new vision to heal a broken world.

We just experienced two major Eclipses that brought major turning points for all of us. The partial Lunar Eclipse at 27 degrees of Taurus was the longest in 1000 years. Although it was partial, it was almost a total Lunar Eclipse. A lot of loss and moves happened around that time. The Total Solar Eclipse occurred on December 4, 2021 at 12 degrees and 22 minutes of the mutable fire sign of Sagittarius and is the final eclipse in the Sagittarius/Gemini axis.

The Nodes of fate will exit Gemini/Sagittarius axis on January 18, 2022 and enter the Taurus/Scorpio axis, where the Eclipses will occur and wake us up and shake us up around value, possessions, money, currency, death, loss, wounds, debt, taxes, intimacy, and healing.

The Nodes will transit in the Taurus/Scorpio axis until July 17, 2023. The first eclipse in Taurus during the Scorpio season unfortunately involved a lot off loss and death. We are processing the loss and pain as we heal ourselves and empower ourselves to go forward and build community to live again and have hope again.

I was doing a power walk at the end of November and was struggling with how I could continue doing the work I do and keeping it cogent. How can I give a perspective of reality and hope during a catastrophic time? Uranus is the modern ruler of Aquarius, and it is extremely unpredictable. It is brilliant, but it is not stable.

Saturn and Uranus have been in conflict this year, and they meet up for a third for a third and final throwdown on December 24th, 2021 where it feels like it is hard to bring form to the constant chaos. Think of Einstein on acid at a dinner party. He is the most captivating guest, but you will not let him drive your aunt Doris home at the end of the night.

I almost wanted to give up on Astrology. I was thinking about the upcoming ingress of Jupiter in Pisces. Magic. Dreams. Love. All of those notions were floating in my head but to marry those concepts in any way escaped me completely and left me wandering and wondering. I walked along the road, and a car drove by me with “Strawberry Fields” roaring through the windows. I realized that that is what Jupiter in Pisces is all about — nothing is real. It’s a journey of discovery and suspension of disbelief. It is submerging yourself in your dreams without fear. A rising tide of tears and imagination lifts all boats.

There is a lot to consider this month. Mars, the planet of action, entered the mutable fire sign of Sagittarius on December 13, 2021, where it will transit until January 24, 2022. Mars is adventurous, fun, fiery, and energized while in Sagittarius. This brings and optimism to action. Mercury, the planet of information, the mind, and thoughts, also changed signs on December 13th and entered the Cardinal earth sign of Capricorn where it will transit on and off through February 14th, 2022.

Mercury will retrograde in both the signs of Aquarius and Capricorn in the middle/end of January of 2022 and is a collective reflection on the legendary Saturn/Pluto conjunction that changed the world in January of 2020 and the Epoch of Capricorn, which brought permanent change and new world. Pluto was at the world axis, and it brought huge loss and endings on the global level. None of us is unscathed, but we rebirth as we need to continue for future generations and to commune together to innovate outdated systems.

Mercury will also reflect on part of its journey in Aquarius, and how we can build more stability in the chaos as we are become flexible with fixed, rapid change. This week is big because there is a Full Moon in Gemini on December 18th, 2021 that occurs just a day before Venus stations retrograde at 26 degrees and 29 minutes of Capricorn; Chiron, the wounded healer, stations direct on 12/19 at 8 degrees and 26 minutes of Aries.

It is important to focus on the meaning of Venus retrograde. Venus met up with Pluto, the planet of death and transformation, at 25 degrees of the Cardinal Earth sign of Capricorn on December 11, 2021, and this is a very heavy aspect. This can bring major loss, endings, breakups, and power struggles. This energy reminds me of the Judgement card in Tarot, where you need to face without fear any truths about your relationships, values, or money that are scary to face. It is a time of reckoning; but, it is also a time of transforming and healing.

Venus retrogrades on December 19th, 2021 at 5:36 am EST at 26 degrees and 29 minutes of Capricorn. Saturn, Lord Karma, rules the sign of Capricorn and insists that you take a naked look at what you need to do to bring more value and traction to your goals — whatever they may be. Venus retrogrades once every 18 months, and it is a personal planet that focuses on how you partner and negotiate with others, what you find of value, how your earn money, and how you can create your resources.

Venus retrogrades at the degree at which Pluto, the ruler of the underworld, stationed retrograde on April 27, 2021, and this invites us all to purge what does not help us, what keeps us from our value and dreams, and to process loss that we have all endured in some way or another. Pluto and Venus meet up three times in total: December 11, 2021 at 25 degrees and 18 minutes of Capricorn; December 25, 2021 at 25 degrees and 42 minutes of Capricorn; and on March 3, 2022 at 27 degrees and 48 minutes of Capricorn.

Eclipses emphasize major transits we are experiencing personally; as well as the transits in the sky. This Eclipse season brings to light the importance of working with the Venus retrograde story, which involves Pluto in every regard. Venus stations at the degree at which Pluto retrograded, and it meets up with Pluto three times in total. Venus entered the Cardinal Earth sign of Capricorn on November 5, 2021 and will remain in this sign until March 6, 2022.

This retraces where Pluto was in the Spring of this year; but, it also focuses on where Saturn transited in Capricorn from March 4, 2020 until November 4, 2020 when it went back and forth from 26 degrees of Capricorn. When Venus does station direct on January 29, 2022, it stations at 11 degrees and 5 minutes of Capricorn, which is where Saturn was transiting the final days of December of 2018 and the first few days of January of 2019. Saturn requires hard work to achieve your goals.

Now is a cosmic opportunity to reassess how you can be effective in this new era to earn a living, relate to others that cherish you and share your values, set boundaries with your habits and in your relationships that are kind and healthy, and work within chaos to achieve infinite intellectually possibility and enlightenment. No one said it would be easy, and no is going to say it now!

The Full moon officially ends this highly intense Eclipse season, and it occurs at 27 degrees and 29 minutes of Gemini on December 18, 2021 at 11:36 pm EST. This Full moon sets off where the North Node of Destiny was transiting last summer when it was transiting in July of 2020 and the first five days of August of 2020.

Mercury rules the mutable air sign of Gemini, and it is currently out-of-bounds, which means it exceeds the outer bounds of the sun and is greater than 23 degrees and 27 minutes North or South by declination. It means the planet is more out of control and exaggerated. On the day of the Full Moon, Mercury squares Chiron, the wounded healer. The moon in Gemini needs to articulate its emotions — even though it’s not particularly and emotional placement of the moon. The moon is how you get your needs met, and Moon in Gemini needs to talk.

The Moon is also out-of-bounds by declination, which adds an extra emotional intensity after a really emotional and heavy Eclipse season. Expect a lot of big news and information to come out on the weekend of the Full moon in Gemini. Mercury is out-of-bound and telling a lot of tales. This is only a few weeks before Jupiter, the luckiest planet, enters the mutable water sign of Pisces, where we magnetize our dreams.

This Full Moon is very relationship oriented in that Venus retrogrades on the following day and is doing an ongoing dance with Pluto, the planet of release. What do you need to accept and let go in order to be happy? How can you be creative in a time where you feel so upended and disrupted? Nodes of fate exit the Gemini/Sagittarius axis. Perhaps some closure or information with stories, situations, and relationships you have been working on since last summer.

I cast the chart for the Full Moon for Washington DC, and it has Virgo ascendant with Mercury as ruler of the chart and the moon in Gemini. Venus and Pluto are conjunct in the house of creativity and love. Purge toxicity in order to open your heart chakra to creative magic that you feel you cannot do, but is always within you. You just forgot about it because of the lack of sleep. It is so hard to keep focused on the dream in a time in which there is so much loss. Honor the loss. Venus and Pluto will keep reminding you, and it is inevitable that you retrace your steps. Venus wants you to be happy and productive; but, it also wants you to get real.

The Full Moon forms a wide square to Neptune, which is the modern ruler of Pisces. More deception can get uncovered. More things are dissolved as we prepare for the beginning of Jupiter in Pisces, which will occur on December 28, 2021. It is time to work with the imagination. It is time to immerse yourself in spiritual practice, meditation, manifesting, music, the arts, creativity, and love. Mercury squares Chiron, the wounded healer and pronounces the wounds. It is also encourages you to say them out loud, write them down, or talk to a friend. The more you deal with the pain, the more you can heal.

Venus retrogrades in Capricorn, which is a sign of reality and limits, Jupiter in Pisces will remind you of Strawberry fields forever! You have to go out to find them, and they may be in other areas than you would have thought; but, nothing is real. Or is it? It is up to you to decide. It is up to you to pay attention to the messages as you reassess your life goals and prepare yourself for a magical tea party where you are the host with fascinating guests that inspire you.

Full Moon in Aries: Don’t get mad. Get busy! 

Full Moon in Aries: Don’t get mad. Get busy! 

Hi, Everyone,

This is quite a week! It has only taken me a week to sit still to write this! Nonetheless, I am on time and in rhythm with the planets . The planets are just shifting now in the sky with four planets stationing direct in the month of October. This week, we approach a very powerful, fiery, potent, and conclusive Full Moon in Aries on October 20, 2021!

Simply put, four planets stationed direct in the month of October and encouraged us all to reassess our strategies, values, and cosmic calls to action! Pluto, the planet of regeneration and metamorphosis, stationed direct on October 6, 2021 at 24 degrees and 19 minutes of the Cardinal Earth sign of Capricorn. This station was VERY potent and on the day of the New Moon in Libra.

We feel the buildup of the planetary stations of outer planets five days before and five days afterwards. It emphasizes the energy of the planet — often in an extreme manner. Pluto rules death, money, debt, intimacy, power, healing, and transformation.

A lot of powerful shifts and changes have occurred since the end of September when Mercury, the planet of the mind, stationed retrograde at 25 degrees of the Cardinal air sign of Libra. When Mercury retrograded, all of the planets were retrograde for a bit, and this was quite a retrograde. On October 4, 2021, the hashtag of the world was the #internetisdown. It brings home how frightening it is that so many connections in life and business are virtual and through third party platforms.

Perhaps #ourconnectionisdown is more appropriate. Since that time period, four planets have stationed direct, and it is hard to process all at once when so four planets station in just one month, and that is a big deal.

This is great news for moving ahead with your goals and putting them into action in a more seamless manner! You may feel like you are hazy but waking up and really driven to bring your work and life to a whole new level! Pluto stationed direct on October 6th, and this helps you to empower yourself in your healing and and transformation. Pluto stationed direct at 24 degrees and 19 minutes of the Cardinal sign of Capricorn, and this set off the Saturn/Pluto conjunction from 1/12/20 that occurred at 22 degrees of Capricorn and changed the world forever.

Think back on all of the work that you have done to heal and empower yourself. What are the tools you can use now to heal yourself and others? What do you need to release and purge?
Saturn, the planet of structure, limits, and responsibility was also a key player of last year in the epoch of Capricorn and transited on and off by the world axis in 2020 as it transited in the last degrees of the the sign of Capricorn, which is the sign it rules in modern Astrology.

This has been a tremendously sad time; but, there is a lot of hope for building new community and healing in new ways as we move ahead. Saturn stationed direct on October 10, 2021 at 6 degrees and 52 minutes of the fixed Air sign of Aquarius. Time to structure the future with limitless possibility to learn, teach, and exceed!

Saturn and Jupiter both met up at 0 degrees of Aquarius on the Winter Solstice of 2020 and ushered in the New Age of Aquarius. Saturn transits in Aquarius until March 7, 2023 and invites us all to build new friendships, connections, and groups. It is also time recommit to the friendships and partnerships that really matter to you and put limits on those that are not on the same vibration.

The New Age of Aquarius is a time of raising consciousness. It is a time of trying to bridge technology and isolation with community and use it to build wishes and goals that were never possible before. How can we change this to bring heart to something that seems so cold?

Jupiter, the planet of abundance, expansion, and good luck, stationed direct on October 17, 2021 at 10:30 pm EDT at 22 degrees and 20 minutes of Aquarius, and you feel that energy five days before and five days afterwards. Jupiter represents your belief systems; as well as your ability to be positive and magnetize good fortune. It also represents higher learning, wisdom, travel, promotion, and publicity.

Mercury, the planet of communication, stationed direct on October 18, 2021 at 10 degrees and 8 minutes of the Cardinal air sign of Libra. Both Aquarius and Libra are very social signs. Aquarius is an air sign centered on friendships, networking, and groups.

Libra is a sign very focused on relationships of all kinds; as well as justice. Mercury has been transiting in the sign of Libra since August 30, 2021, and a huge focus this remainder of the year is on relationships, partnerships, and friendships. Mercury will exit Libra on November 5, 2021; but, now that it is direct, it is a great time for partnering with others professionally, socially, and romantically. Jupiter in Aquarius is a great time for building new social and professional connections. Keep in mind that Venus, which rules the sign of Libra, retrogrades on December 19, 2021 at 26 degrees and 29 minutes of Capricorn. This directly triggers where

Pluto stationed retrograde on April 27, 2021 at 26 degrees of Capricorn. Venus represents your values, how you earn income, and how relate to others. We can not heal and rebuild without relying on connections — whether they are new, old, or both. Venus remains in Capricorn until March 7, 2022, and it is a time of reassessing your commitments, professional goals, and values. It triggers the Saturn in Capricorn story from late December of 2017 through December of 2020 and helps to bring new form to your goals and hard work.

Last but certainly not least is the Full Moon that occurs on October 20, 2021 at 27 degrees and 26 minutes of the Cardinal Fire sign of Aries. Fire!

Passion, rage, enthusiasm, and a call to release your anger. This full moon sets off the Mars retrograde period from fall of last year when Mars retrograded at 28 degrees of Aries on September 9, 2020 and stationed direct on November 14, 2020 at 15 degrees of Aries. Mars transited in Aries for half of 2020, and it was retrograde and in its shadow in the fall of last year, in which time it was very difficult to move ahead.

This full moon is a time to let go of the rage that is so rampant in a time that is so sad. Now is a time where you can heal through friendships and communication. Learning alternative ways of thinking, different types of healing modalities, and different ways to deal with impatience and anger in of huge collective loss. The Sun is conjunct Mars, and Mars is just a degree off from the world point at 23 degrees of Libra and is triggering the Saturn/Pluto conjunction from January of 2020. Mercury opposes Chiron, the wounded healer and brings up the wounds as we release the pain and frustration.

There is a lot of conflict in the sky with this full moon. You can expect that people will be fired up and can be quick to anger. Try to do some way to cleanse the energy, as Pluto is strongly a part of this Full Moon dynamic and opportune for release. Fill a bowl of salt on your desk or in an area where you spend a lot of time in your house.

This helps to release others’ energy and your own fears. Burn palo santo, sage, or incense to inspire that creative stagnation and charge it up with renewal and passion. The Sun and Mars form a challenging square to Pluto, the planet of power struggles and transcendence; Pluto squares Eris, the goddess of discord and the sister of Mars; not to mention the Moon in Aries. This combustible lineup is known as a T-square and can feel very annoying and temporarily restrictive as you strive to propel.

Yet, it is great for doing healing work, purging, releasing, doing rituals, and moving ahead with action to back up your goals and words! This Full moon in Libra also helps to bring fruition all of the hard work that you have done since 2020. Zoom ahead and let go! You are on your way. Jupiter transits in Aquarius through December 29, 2021, and then it re-enters Pisces where it will be on and off in 2022. Time to brush up on your marketing skills, how your business is assimilating to a new technological revolution, and how you want to evolve your connection to all, and all is one.

Mercury retrograde in Libra: How do you partner?

Mercury retrograde in Libra: How do you partner?

Hi, Everyone,

While the year flashes through, I notice that each month has a very unique and distinct energy astrologically, and how it plays out for people. August was very uranian, unpredictable, and chaotic. September has been a time of a lot of release and endings with a powerful Full Moon in Pisces just a few days prior to the Fall Equinox. It is also a huge time of reflection, as all of the outer planets are retrograde. Mercury, which is a personal planet that signifies communication and information, entered its shadow on September 6, 2021 and added to the reflective tone of the month.

On September 6, 2021, Mercury reached 10 degrees of Libra, which is the degree at which it will station direct on October 18th. Since the very end of August, early September, each of us has been working with the Mercury retrograde tale. Libra is a Cardinal sign that is ruled by Venus, and it is the seventh sign of the zodiac. Libra is a sign of relationships, partnerships, justice, equality, love, beauty, and diplomacy.

What is interesting about this particular Mercury retrograde is that it triggers the Venus retrograde tale from the fall of 2018. Venus retrogrades in five signs in our lifetime. In a few cases, it retrogrades back to the prior sign. Every eight years, Venus retrogrades in the sign of Scorpio and stations direct in Libra. On October 5, 2018, Venus retrograded at 10 degrees of Scorpio and stationed direct on November 17, 2021 at 25 degrees of Libra.

This current Mercury retrograde in Libra speaks back to that time & triggers that Venus retrograde story. Venus represents what you love, how you can be creative, what you value, how you partner, and what makes you happy. Venus is one of the two benefics of the Zodiac, and it rules the fixed earth sign of Taurus and the Cardinal air sign of Libra.

In the fall of 2018, Venus and the Sun met up on October 26, 2021 at 3 degrees of the fixed water sign of Scorpio and formed an inferior Venus/Startpoint conjunction. This is a new eight year cycle of manifesting what you love and want in your lives.

With Mercury retrograde in Libra triggering that tale from the fall of 2018, it reminds us all that we cannot give up on what makes us happy. This has been an unbelievably difficult time that will take a long time from which to recover emotionally, spiritually, physically, and mentally. Yet, in focusing on what you love, your healthy relationships, and what makes your heart happy is what gets you through these unpredictable times.

Currently, all of the outer planets are still retrograde. Mercury retrograded on September 26, 2021 at 10:10 pm PDT and on September 27, 2021 at 1:10 am EDT. Mercury stations direct on October 18, 2021 at 10 degrees and 8 minutes of Libra, which is where it was on September 6, 2021.

It clears its shadow altogether when it clears 25 degrees of Libra on November 3, 2021. It exits the sign of Libra on November 5, 2021. Most people have heard of Mercury retrograde at this point. It is a personal planet that retrogrades three to four times per year, and it is a time of reconsideration, reevaluation, reassessment, redoing, and reappearing. Libra is a sign of relationships; therefore, it is very likely that many relationships from the past resurface in our lives in various ways. Libra is a social air sign ruled by Venus that partners on every level. Old lovers, friends, distant dreams from the past, and other reminders of relationships from yesteryear can surface in your life.

Are you being valued in your relationships? Are you happy in your current one? Do you want to be in a relationship? This fall is an excellent time to dive into all of those questions, as this retrograde precedes a Venus retrograde that occurs at the end of the year.

Venus retrogrades once every eighteen months, and it will retrograde on December 19, 2021 at 26 degrees of the Cardinal earth sign of Capricorn, which is exactly where Pluto stationed retrograde on June 2, 2021. Venus, which rules Libra is currently transiting in the fixed water sign of Scorpio, where emotions are intense, passionate, and dramatic.

Pluto rules the sign of Scorpio and asks to us eliminate what no longer serves us in order that we transcend. Venus in Scorpio brings up painful issues around intimacy and loss, but this is a time to reframe your thoughts around relationships with Mercury retrograde in Libra, give up those limiting stories, and connect to the others in the Age of Aquarius.

The amazing thing about the month of October is that four planets will station direct: Pluto, the planet of death, renewal, and transformation; Saturn, the planet of karma, structures, and accountability; Jupiter, the planet of hope, optimism, and higher learning; Mercury, the planet of the mind.

The fact that we have four planets stationing direct in one month helps us all to move in what will feel like leaps and bounds to get going forward in our goals. It is unusual that they are all stationing direct within the same month, and you will really feel the shift of energy. It will feel more seamless to get things done. Time to review what you love, and time to take action in October to catalyze your goals!

Full Moon in Pisces: A moon of loss or hope?

Full Moon in Pisces: A moon of loss or hope?

Hi, Everyone

I have been writing this article or a variation of an article for what seems to be like weeks and months. It has only been a few weeks, but it might as well have been a year. As I struggle for the words not only in my writing but in day-to-day existence, I know how much all of you struggle, too.

At present, all of the outer planets are retrograde. This is not not atypical, as the outer planets retrograde every year for several months. It is a more reflective time, which gives you opportunity to absorb the messages of the planets in order to revise your mission.

The words keep escaping, but I keep writing. I keep trying. The sun transits in the mutable earth sign of Virgo and encourages you to focus on work, health, and self care. Virgo is a mutable earth sign, which is ruled by the planet Mercury. Mercury is the planet which rules communication, learning, thoughts, and ideas. Mutable signs enable us to shift directions if need be and to adapt to our circumstances. However, in mutable seasons, it can also be difficult to set firm boundaries and not to get lost in the shuffle.

Mercury is currently transiting in the Cardinal air sign of Libra, where it will remain through November 6, 2021. Libra is THE relationship sign, and it is ruled by the planet Venus. Venus is one of the benefics of the zodiac, and it represents love, beauty, value, kindness, money, and possessions — among other things.

The planet Mercury entered its shadow on the New Moon in Virgo on September 6th when it reached 10 degrees of Libra. Mercury will retrograde on September 26, 2021 at 25 degrees of Libra and will station direct on October 18, 2021 at 10 degrees of Libra. It will not exit the sign altogether until November 6, 2021, which means a lot of ghosts from your past will reappear in various ways. Libra is the sign of relationships, and all types of relationships can resurface in a myriad of ways.

Pay attention to the messages. You may revisit or hear from your past, you may have vivid dreams, or you may dig deeply into your lifelong patterns around relationships with others and yourself. Venus is currently transiting in the fixed water sign of Scorpio, where the water run deep, and I mean DEEP!

This could stir feelings of mistrust, jealousy, and malevolence.

Venus clashed with Saturn, the planet of reality and limits, over the weekend. A good reminder to us all of our limitations in this journey. Get clear on what works, and what does not.

This Mercury retrograde season defaults back to when Venus was retrograde in Scorpio/Libra in 2018. Every eight years, Venus retrogrades in Scorpio at approximately 10 degrees of Scorpio and stations direct at approximately 25 degrees of Libra. Venus last retrograded on October 5, 2018 at 10 degrees of Scorpio and stationed direct at 25 degrees of Libra on November 17, 2018.

When Mercury retrogrades later this month, it triggers the tale of that fall season of 2018, and it gives you the chance to readdress how you heal the wounds around relationships, how you partner with others, and how you can achieve your joy.

Venus and the Sun met up on October 26, 2018 and formed a Venus/Sun Starpoint at 3 degrees of the fixed water sign of Scorpio.

This was a celestial invitation to purge what keeps you from your heart. This is an unbelievably sad time, in history, but you still have need to keep a little space in your heart for hope, love, and joy. Try to use this retrograde season to face the wounds directly around loss, love, money, possessions, and productivity. Many of us have lost ourselves in this pandemic. It is time to empower and find yourself again.

There is a Full Moon that occurs on September 20, 2021 at 7:53 pm EDT at 28 degrees and 14 minutes of the mutable water sign of Pisces. This is less than a minute away from the final degree of the zodiac. It is a degree of endings, and it is also associated with the fixed star known as Scheat.

This is a fixed star that is connected with loss, sorrow, drowning, murder, and suicide. I write this with caution because it is imperative that we all heed the current energy. If you feel despondent, reach out to people, connect, or do something that grounds you. If you know people that are fragile, reach out to them more than usual. Please be extra mindful when I write this because there will be a lot of endings and loss at this time. People will feel uncentered, hurt, and lost.

The energy of this Full Moon in Pisces and of the fixed star Scheat reminds me a lot of Robin Williams. He had his moon conjunct his North Node in Pisces. He embodied the entire range of Pisces: imagination, creativity, empathy, charm, addiction, sorrow, and undoing. Most think of his humor with good reason, but I think of his more serious roles and his sad, kind eyes. He was a magic man that instilled joy in others and failed to find it within himself.

“You’re only given a little spark of magic, and if you lose that, you are nothing.” — Robin Williams

The New Moon in Leo: A moon of surprise!

The New Moon in Leo: A moon of surprise!

Hi Everyone, 

What a shift in energy since the end of July! Jupiter, which is the planet of higher wisdom, beliefs, hope, travel, learning, and empirical experience, exited the sign of Pisces on July 28, 2021 and re-entered the fixed air sign of Aquarius. Jupiter briefly took a dip into Neptune’s deep blue seas beginning on May 13, 2021 and was there until July 28th. Jupiter rules Pisces in Ancient astrology and is very creative, inspired, compassionate, and intuitive while in the mutable water sign of Pisces. Since I have been studying Astrology, I do not recall having ever seen Jupiter zip through an entire sign and briefly dip into the following sign for a few months. It is quite wild because Saturn and Jupiter formed what is known as a great conjunction when the two met up at 0 degrees of Aquarius on the Winter Solstice of 2020. This is the very first degree of Aquarius, and this is the closest that Saturn and Jupiter have been in over eight hundred years. This breaks all structures and old ways of doing things. This begins a time where you strive to be your unique self without losing sight of those around you in the collective.

Jupiter and Saturn meet up every twenty years and form what is known as a great conjunction. This great conjunction inaugurated the New Age of Aquarius, where we all construct and expand through connection, unity, innovation, unpredictability, chaos, revolt, technology, and futuristic thinking. This is an intellectual amusement park, where you can really thrive if you can take the ride and hold on for the rush and soar with the excitement. Aquarius when they met up together at 0 degrees of Aquarius on the Winter Solstice. The beginning of August emphasizes the Uranian energy. Jupiter now transits through Aquarius until December 29, 2021, when it re-enter the sign of Pisces. In the interim, we all expand through building community, elevating our consciousness, learning, and embracing new change. As we began the month of August, Mercury, the planet of thinking, opposed Saturn, the planet of limits. This is a reality check further emphasized by the Sun opposing Saturn the following day. How do you build within your limits to embrace the magic of the mind? The answer is just that: embrace the magic of the mind. You just have to work hard to keep steady in the chaos. That is the theme for the month!

Mercury proceeded to square Uranus, the planet of chaos and modern ruler of Aquarius, on August 3, 2021. This can bring unexpected news and events; as well as out-of-the-blue opportunities. Venus, the planet of partnerships and money, formed a beautiful trine to Uranus on the very same day and lends creative flair and invention to this week. The Sun squares Uranus on August 6, 2021 and sets of where Mercury was earlier in the week. Time to learn and think on your feet because the pace is very fast in the Age of Aquarius. Expect the unexpected, but think of it as an experiment of combining the Fool, the Magician, and the Tower card. The fool has a sense of anticipation and different routes you can take. The magician encourages you to use your intellect, your ability to manifest wishes, and is very inventive. The Tower is disruptive, but it wakes you up, and you know you need it! Sometimes, disruptive change can help you to build skills and accomplish great things that you never dreamt possible.

There is chaos and unpredictability, and it is not all easy. This energy can raise your anxiety like four cups of cappuccino in a single sip, but it wakes you up if you need to get a lot of work done. Uranus’ energy is so strong this month. Jupiter is back in the late degrees of Aquarius emphasizing what the first four and a half months meant for all of us, and we can revise what we have learned thus far. That is big opportunity in all of this. Uranus, the planet of revolt and ingenuity, stations retrograde later in the month on August 19, 2021 at 14 degrees of the fixed earth sign of Taurus.
