Happy Capricorn, Solstice, Holidays, New Year 2022!

Capricorn 2021-22 Celestial HighLights, Timeline, Overview!

Capricorn, the Sign of Ascension!

Everyday Ascension in Hong Kong’s streets, Google and the South China Morning Post!

Maybe it’s not just what you do but how you get there! One healer says ‘Where your focus goes your energy flows.’ 

 

In contrast to modern urban stairs, centuries ago, steps worn into the rock at the prehistoric Puye Cliff Dwellings near Española, New Mexico show the passage of many Souls over a long period of time. The soft volcanic tuff can be excavated using wooden tools. Capricorns are often talented stonemasons getting their ideas from the Earth herself! They find the safest Path of least resistance, shore up dangerous areas. The Paths lead to important areas in our life often framed by arches, have gateways at significant transition points. 

 

Stairway to Heaven, the ancient Inca Trail leading to Machu Picchu in Peru. Capricorns love ancient places that used their habitat wisely. Capricorns can build concisely, their work lasting centuries. There is an abiding beauty that accompanies our being, our seeking is invited and quickened. Thanks to Kurt Gordon for this inspiring image.

Primitive Indigenous crossings! Centuries old living trees bridges in India inspire today’s Europeans to do the same! When it rains heavily, small cement bridges wash away and steel bridges tend to rust, but living root bridges withstand the rains – Shailinda Syiemlieh “People came to realise that root bridges are much more durable than modern alternatives, and they cost absolutely nothing. So villagers now repair root bridges they had abandoned in the forest valleys.” They help stabilise the soil and prevent landslides. Indigenous living architecture can help modern cities adapt better to climate change. There are special select people who tend them. Capricorns, the goats, have always used nature’s crossings, from the valleys to icy mountains. They are natural conservationists. BBC post

Capricorns are famous for succeeding by their own efforts in strenuous dangerous conditions even without a visible path. They have super instinct, wiry strength, agility, ardent intent, a ton of common sense, practical know-how and intelligence! When necessary, they are able to adjust instantly to changing conditions, save lives. Rock climbing and mountaineering are natural to them, just like their animal, the Goat!

Meet Theresa Gergen, mountaineer, climber, peak bagger! Her claim to fame? Colorado woman first to climb all 846 peaks above 13,000 feet in every state but Alaska! At 55 she has has climbed every Colorado peak higher than 10,000 feet (2,311 of them) and has climbed high-altitude peaks in Ecuador, Bolivia, Argentina, Mexico and Nepal, including six in excess of 20,000 feet. She has “day-hiked” the entirety of the Colorado Trail and has stood on the high point of all 50 states — including Denali in Alaska, the highest peak in North America at 20,320 feet. (Mt Whitney is a mere 14,505′.) 

Theresa has been seriously ‘ascending’ most of her adult life! She started climbing mountains in her mid-thirties!

Your manner of Ascension is specific to you. Every one of us has Capricorn at a point in our astrology charts. We all have Capricorn’s planet Saturn somewhere, some placements stronger than others. If you have Saturn at your Ascendant, Sun or Moon you will be like a Capricorn yourself in those ways. People with Venus conjunct Saturn or in Capricorn or the 10th House, the Capricorn house, will love Capricorn! If you have Jupiter in Capricorn, maybe conjunct your Capricorn Sun, you will have Capricorn luck, possibly even fame. Capricorn is the natural sign at the top of an Astrology chart, at the MidHeaven, the high point sign of the zodiac! They like the view.

Ascension is not an end point, but a way of living. It teaches us to see at higher levels. Raise your sights. When you return down, you keep what you learned. You can share it with others. You can go back up for the next installment now that you know how! You can go up any territory you wish! 

There are many modes! You may crawl up on your belly or leap with glee! Wisdom might take you on a safer alternate route. Slow is fine; go fast when you can. You may so admire others, but the highest valor is to do it your way with personal grace. Know yourself. Only you can find that particular place. We thank you.

Congratulations on your many feats! Hard work pays off!

Capricorn Overview 2021, 22, 23!

Capricorns carry the Light in the Dark always, lantern carriers in the mines, candles for carolers or vigils, the Light for Hope and Faith. Their special time is Winter Solstice, Yule, the Return of the Light! This is a sweet watercolor on paper called Sacred Dawn Stillness by Wendy Andrew.

2022 is a very different year. With very few aspects, only 3, and they only once each, done by May 3! It will be time to anchor, maintain and finesse our current gains, strengthen our Aquarian skills and Aquarian people. Jupiter will make 2 sign changes. It is in Aquarius, enters Pisces, Dec 28, 2021, will advance into Aries May 10, 2022, and later retrograde back into Pisces. Jupiter’s April 12 166 year conjunction with Neptune is in Neptune’s own sign Pisces, is 2022’s magical gift to us!  

Maybe you have a goal this year, to have a career that more fits your Spirit, takes all your molecules to do it and you love every minute! If that includes moving, countries that are ruled by Capricorn include India, Bulgaria, Mexico, Great Britain, the United Kingdom, Albania, Afghanistan, Lithuania, Bosnia, Brunei, Czech Republic, Haiti, Nauru, Slovakia, and Sudan.

Cities that are ruled by Capricorn include Brandenburg, Brussels, Delhi, Mexico City, Port Said, Oxford and Ghent.

If you will be moving in the US, see your astrolocality astrologer for advices on personal locations best for what! Capricorn is not frivolous by nature, so moving is serious business, especially a professional business. Be particularly cautious about moves during retrograde periods. Follow the retrograde rules. If it is a necessity at a retrograde time, know that there will be further changes and the costs that go with it. Factor that in. If you are buying a home as well, top priority may be that it is a good investment per resale value since you may change your mind. If you are retiring, look for lower utility costs, water is easily accessible, your home is sustainable with easy maintenance, there are friendly and helpful nearby neighbors. Retirement is a Capricorn matter. 

Capricorn is a hard working earth sign. At times, no matter how high up the ladder they are, they have those moments of doubt, even depression. As the boss they may seem invincible, intimidating, but they are as human as you or I. Show respect, honor their self protection or needs, give your sincere appreciation. They marry for the long term, are careful in their choices. It’s more than a romance to them. They want a partner who will bring honor to their name. Capricorns often get stronger as they get older. They have self discipline and usually take good care of their bodies. Teeth, skin and bones, especially knees, can need special care. At worst, perhaps, at times, they are thought to be rigid, not wanting change they can’t control. But as the last earth sign they are known for their ultimate realism and practicality. They know things can get too old. They know some new things on the cutting-edge are perfect for them. Show them how it works, the costs, the return on investment. Ask them what they need for it to work for them and see if/how that is doable. Take it from there! Once convinced, they are on it! Efficient and it gets done!

Capricorn is the Winter Holidays sign! We have many traditional religious events focused around Winter Solstice, even New Year is at Winter Solstice time, only 10 days away! Solstice is the belly of the year, darkest time, survival minded. We stay warm or delight in outdoor winter sports! We can rest more during inclement weather or be busy taking care of weather issues. Gardeners are ordering up seeds for the earliest spring planting possible. The days get longer, more Light is coming, hope springs in our molecules and things are stirring! It’s not usually a political time, but it is sales and economics. This time Saturn is finishing up his 2021 square with Uranus in Taurus! We are realizing what has been holding us back as we have breakthroughs in our thinking. As we chat with friends and family at holiday gatherings, we think of schooling, new work and businesses, marriage proposals, new beginnings. 

Venus in Capricorn retrogrades Dec 19, leading to the DOUBLE RETROGRADE when Mercury in Aquarius retrogrades Jan 14! What we thought was true and finished is given some serious scrutiny, revisions made. After all is said and done, we will be surprised perhaps to be well pleased with the results but it’s going to take some time and doing… See more!

In these pandemic years, serious matters have befallen us in so many ways. Every sign leads to the next, making a foundation for it. Capricorn builds admirable structures that hold strongly when thunder and lightning, earth shaking Aquarius arrives! Aquarius is known for the waves of its symbol – seismic shakes, sound causing inundation by avalanches, aging of sunlight and freeze sequences, ocean tsunamis, electrical strikes, the continuous vibration of howling wind that loosens bolts and joists. So when Capricorn battens down the hatches, you know it will withstand the tremors of humans and earthly events. It also symbolizes our heartbeat patterns and lie detector graphs! Capricorn builds for long term safety, and to enjoy the winter fireside at the timberline inn. Capricorn starts from the ground up! The very foundation, perhaps framed by a hillside, stonework, site choice for water flow and natural beauty of placement. They are true architects. The ultimate architecture is how they make us feel. They bring us to our own personal heights. That is their legacy to Aquarius, to make us free.

Many 2020 – 2022 charts are Bowls, rare Bundles, and Buckets and seesaws! They are a concentrated force! The Feb 11 2021 SIX planet air sign Aquarius New Moon stellium Bundle Chart was a super example! All the planets were in a potent 113 degrees, less than a third of the wheel! See more about Bowls and Bundles If a singular planet or a pair or cluster of very close planets venture beyond these formations, a Bucket Chart is formed, emphasis on these ‘handle’ planets. If several planets loosely spaced move opposite the base group, a Seesaw Chart is formed, planetary oppositions common, balance sought. In these times when the slow moving outer planets are closely together, the base group is steady. The Bundles and Bowls alternate with the Buckets and Seesaws as ‘inner’ planets, Sun, Moon, Mercury and Venus, sometimes Mars, proceed on their own out of the base group during the year. In her 27 day cycle, Moon jumps out ahead every month. Sun is on the other side 5 to 6 months of the year.

2021 has been, and is finishing, a super special AQUARIAN TIME! The February 11 SIX planets stellium Aquarian New Moon may have inaugurated a 2nd wave of the ‘Dawning of the Age of Aquarius!’ 59 Years ago in Feb 1962, the New Moon Eclipse chart had seven Aquarian planets and lasted longer. Saturn and Jupiter are in Aquarius, made the Great Conjunction Solstice Dec 21 2020! 2015 to 2024 Uranus, the planet of Aquarius, has been and is the lead outer planet. 2021 has had numerous outer planet aspects in Aquarius and ones formed to Aquarius’s planet Uranus, plus, Jupiter sextiled the Galactic Center three times, last on Dec 12! These prepare us for Pluto entering Aquarius March 23 2023! 

Mind you, the Ages are long, roughly every 2,150 years. Even 100 years would be a reasonable time frame for a transition from one to another. I think we could easily include 1962 and 2020/21 events and Pluto’s sign change into Aquarius in 2023 as part of the process. Pluto takes 248 years to circuit the zodiac. FYI the ages are reversed through the signs due to the Precession of Equinoxes. The previous age was Pisces, so we are now backing into the last degrees of Aquarius.

Going back to recent planetary action, Saturn and Jupiter made the leap for freedom, went into Aquarius Dec 16 and 19, 2020 made the GREAT CONJUNCTION Winter Solstice Dec 21, 2020! As one journey ends another begins. Pluto is in its final years of being in Capricorn. Pluto holds the power of life and death, represents the Phoenix that rises from its own ashes. In our lives that can be represented by poverty, bankruptcy, turned to wealth and powerful relationships. Capricorn is the mountain goat that rises to the heights, has staying power in extreme conditions, oversees, makes the laws, is the most efficient of all the signs, a survivor due to his own talents.

To make this Capricorn facet more potent, Saturn, Capricorn’s planet, and Jupiter were with Pluto as his support team! The difficult part was the Jan 12 2020 Saturn conjunct Pluto that probably brought the Virus, and Jupiter, a traveler, that had a role in transmitting it from China to other places. Yet, Pluto will continue to make impressive progress these last years even though Saturn and Jupiter have left him, now are in Aquarius. He may do even better because they have changed signs, leading him, wanting collaboration with the people to cure and heal, prevent more illness – and not just the virus, but working other matters as well, climate, politics. Since Pluto will be going into Aquarius March 2023, their work now is critical, paving the way for him. 

Following the Jupiter in Pisces preview from May 13 to July 28, 2021 Jupiter back in Aquarius continues to bring exceptional opportunities, especially for Aquarians through Dec 28! The sign lucky Jupiter is in, is the sign that succeeds and prospers! Saturn’s previous entry into Aquarius virtually shut down the airlines; Jupiter has revived them given certain conditions! Airlines, electronics, communications, organizations for sustainable change will flourish at new levels. Many patents will be filed, robotics, flying cars included. Jupiter in Aquarius! 

Adventurous Jupiter loves unstable ground, relishes making all the quick clever adjustments! Both Jupiter and Aquarius live for freedom! Since Saturn previewed Aquarius Mar 21 to July 1 2020, he is experienced and can handle the boisterous Jupiter Aquarius frolicking. He already knows there are lucky genius ideas afoot sometimes disguised as if there are no cares in the world! He sees it is that very freedom that makes them possible! He is able to tap the connections, make astute changes quickly, grab them while they are available ~ any moment Jupiter could run off to anywhere! The changes can enhance his business immeasurably! Jupiter’s current sign is where the good fortune is! Be ready to shift certain investments, adjust projects to include new, additional goals, especially those oriented to humanistic and planetary wellbeing. Aquarius will be delighted because as a researcher/thinker he doesn’t always get out to play, and Jupiter plays big. Jupiter even ups the amps on Aquarius’s own far thinking, and that is a rare thing to happen! Isn’t life grand?! Saturn may find himself on safari with Jupiter, or gone on the wind taking the computers to the surf zone when the surf’s up, whichever continent that may be on! Working from ‘home’ takes on new meaning! Really! Can be done!

Jupiter in Aquarius is like lightning! Things happen quickly. This is one of those periods when time itself seems speeded up! Jupiter in AQ knows the importance of immediate networking planet wide and how short a year’s window can be. Saturn has already been laying the groundwork. The possible collaboration of this team has had outstanding results much sooner than expected. 

Jupiter is in Pisces as of Dec 28! Magic happens! Jupiter travels the world, while Pisces travels the Spirit! Jupiter is a fiery planet so it may take a little getting used to Neptune’s Pisces damp waters. Yet, Jupiter loves speed sports, surfing, sailing, jet skiing, anywhere, the bigger the waves the better! Just be careful of tsunamis and floods! Jupiter philosophizes, tries to be just, to plan the best big future. Pisces talks with God, is psychic to the furthest realms, compassion his ruler. Jupiter may be harshly opinionated and Pisces can be an unable lost addict. Jupiter can be unkind; Pisces can be in denial, beyond caring. The other side of Jupiter is generous, can give hope, teach others to have faith beyond measure. He can help Pisces face the truth. Pisces knows he is lovingly regarded no matter what. Against the odds, recovery can happen. This can be one person in his own struggle or you working your piece for the world. Pisces gives Jupiter a dream, a vision of what can be, how miraculous recovery can be, what enormous strength and courage it takes. Even Jupiter is humbled…and grateful.

As Jupiter in Aquarius is super lucky for Aquarians, it is out of this world in Pisces for Pisceans! Jupiter cheers them up, expands their already magical dimensions, gives them further faith and awareness, heals their spirits from addictions and fears. Major tours are possible and successful dreams come true! It’s time to push the river a bit while the Gateway is open!

The Aquarian and Piscean talents will be commingled! The Path between them becomes a usable channel. Hopefully groups of crusaders will learn how to work together in current times, accomplish great deeds. Knowledge for all through the internet will keep us immediately informed, focused on task, adjusting priorities quickly! Jupiter traverses only part of one more sign, ARIES, the first sign of the zodiac! When Pluto enters Aquarius Jupiter will be at 17° Aries in a FIVE planet Aries stellium! Aries is the Action sign! That’s what I call a new beginning! 

In addition to Saturn and Jupiter in Aquarius in 2021 there were numerous Aquarian flavored aspects! The last one will be a positive aspect, an exciting finale of all those aspects on Feb 17, 2022 when Jupiter in Pisces sextiles Uranus, the AQ planet! Now we wait, let things mingle, brew, progress, prepare, until Pluto makes that stupendous sign change into Aquarius Mar 23, 2023! We need Aquarius to be strong, in working order, integrated and grounded among ourselves, in our communities, internationally. 

We need to strengthen our Aquarian young people, our future leaders, and all Aquarians! Pluto is tough on the sign it is in and at the same time empowers them! Growing pains take strength. Take time to listen, cheer them on. Admire their broad scope, how they get teams going, their care for humanity and our planet, their inventions and science. Help them know how to carry on even when they are not appreciated or understood. They are so intelligent, ahead of their time, that not everyone will understand their work, yet the work needs doing.

The preparation for Pluto entering Aquarius will take steady and dedicated work, staying focused. Everything about how groups and friendships work, the importance and techniques of research, knowing how change is brought about successfully, are the goals. The foundation needs to be set. It has been and will continue to be explored, tested and trialed by Saturn and Jupiter being in Aquarius. 

Pluto in Aquarius will bring a new time. Pluto is Scorpio’s planet and Pluto/Aquarius are not exactly ‘compatible.’ Pluto has a ton of charisma, yet is as much private as Aquarius can’t help but bring attention by his simple presence. AQ is exotic, super intelligent, often revels in neon colors, odd/unique looks and attire, has electric static. He can get attention for being THE archetypal loner, or the brilliant head of a world humanitarian organization. Pluto is going to have some adjusting to do. He may be concerned for loss of privacy, be a bit jealous too. At the very worst, there could be power struggles for world rule, including genocide. Or they will do fundraising like never seen before! Pluto may gather the world’s top wealthy humanitarians and make governments of countries look small in comparison. Since these groups will have no governmental constraints, they may bring the world together when governments couldn’t. By comparison, the financially unsupported United Nations may become passé, or it’s possible its structure already in place may be revitalized! Comprehensive large scale inventor/researcher work could do very well to sustain and amplify their efforts. See more

Pluto will be in Aquarius 21 years, until January 2044! 

All the Aquarian flavored aspects will give us a head start. We’ll do Pluto in Aquarius better! Pluto was last in Aquarius 248 years ago, 1777 to 1799, a 22 year period of worldwide uproar and change – American Revolution, the French Revolution, the Industrial Revolution in England. And it won’t be any different this time! Guarantee! So get your friends and alliances/networks in working order, stand up, get used to acting progressively, and be ready to roll! Some will mightily resist; others will persist with new ideas. Change will beget change. Take a peek at what Patrick Watson has to say on Pluto per sign historically. Check out what Lynn Hayes has to say about what Dylan Love has to say on transhumanism. 

Since that last 248 years ago we now have bombs, climate change, a pandemic, electronic communication, robotics, and a helluva a lot more people on the planet. In the 1700s there were an estimated 603M, at the end of 2021, 7.9B. Water and weather wars are possible. Actually, water wars are already starting – pollution prevention, Detroit, Standing Rock. We need to reassess our mandates for leadership – age and both physical and mental health. There are going to be some bumps. Some say, after the kinks are worked out, there will be a ‘Golden Age!’ Make it so. Or maybe that would be just toooo boring and other things will happen, LOL! Next! Evolution is no quitter!

Young people born around 2003 will be about 20 in March 2023 and from 20 until they are 41, will live this period. Their lives will be about this world changing time. Help them now. Prepare them to be strong and steady leaders then. Strengthen everything Aquarius in your life.

Portals are all around us. Some are temporary, some are always there. Some are annual like the August 8 Lion’s Gate. No two are alike, take us different places. Some are one way, others are two way but perhaps only at certain intervals – you have to be there or… Some lifetimes there are none, others have several passages. And there are the portals into and out of life.

2022’s Three Aspects, planetary portals, the only 2022 Aspects, happen only once each!

 All three of 2022’s aspects are done by May 3, in just over 4 months! All will be formed while Jupiter is in Pisces. The rest of the year will be putting our discoveries into practice, improving, holding and maintaining good ground gained. Jupiter in Pisces will show us the endings and dreams of Pisces as the last sign of the Zodiac, and what the first sign of the Zodiac, Aries, will work for. It will be good to rest and relax, then stretch our physical and spiritual muscles and take action! 

Feb 17 Jupiter in Pisces sextile Uranus in Taurus Once

This is the last of the Aquarius/Uranus aspects that prevailed from Dec 2020, throughout 2021! Time for celebration and pledges to the future!

Two fast planets in differently tempoed signs Pisces and Taurus. Jupiter loves races and often has the long legs to win! Uranus is the genius with the greased lightning mind! Pisces has an adjustable speed potential, like a fast swimmer, the speedboat or yacht race, but is also the meditator like the Buddha that sat by the road for years…enjoys the silence at the ashram, or the roar of a rock concert! Lots of dimensional ability. Taurus has no intention of rushing about. He has his own steady pace, enjoys sitting peaceably. He’s not lured into undignified behavior.

Jupiter and Uranus’s works are cut out for them. They will speed up the others. They also learn that sitters and plodders are getting quite a bit done with a lot less external energy being shown. They just do it. Pisces finds the shortest route and uses psychic ability to do it. Smooth. Taurus is sensible and doesn’t worry. He sits with it and the plan forms with his patience. It’s uncanny. They both come up with solutions that are off the books. They think for themselves. At times the fast planets lose themselves in the fray, burnout, and have to stop, come to their senses, recenter, restart where it all went awry. Sometimes needs require a faster tempo. At those times let the speedy planets guide you. They do have our well being in mind and often make ‘accidental’ discoveries! Pass the baton back and forth!

► April 12 166 Year Event! Jupiter conjunct Neptune in his own sign, at 23 Pisces just Once! The Promise of 2022! 

Jupiter Conjunct Neptune reads the same as Jupiter in Pisces only more so! Pisces is Neptune’s sign and Neptune is currently IN Pisces, his own sign! Jupiter right there with Neptune most certainly ups the amps very specifically! Jupiter with Neptune comes by only every 13 years, but when Neptune is potently in Pisces, Neptune’s own sign, only every 166 years! The last time Jupiter was with Neptune in Pisces was May 17 1856! Freud, George Bernard Shaw, Tesla and Woodrow Wilson, all Chinese year of the Dragon, were born in 1856.

This is the big event while Jupiter is in Pisces and the biggest of 2022! In fact, this is a rather special conjunction. Robert P. Blaschke says ‘2009 has also brought the alignment of Jupiter and Neptune in the sign of Aquarius. [2022 it’s in Pisces, the next sign.] Conjunctions of these two planets take place at 13-year intervals and every thirteenth conjunction recurs at nearly the same Zodiacal position. Neptune’s sidereal cycle averages 165 years and the Jupiter-Neptune conjunctions divide the Neptune cycle into 13 sub-periods (13 x 13 = 169).’ 

Blaschke further writes, ‘As Neptune moves from one sign to the next, eleven out of twelve times it meets Jupiter only once while transiting a sign. Dane Rudhyar and Alexander Ruperti both wrote that the Jupiter-Neptune conjunction is the high-point of Neptune’s stay in any given sign.‘ See more

Neptune, Pisces, work with spiritual matters, soul saving, dire conditions of suffering. It might be symbolically saving children in sweat shops, cruel conditions for inmates or mental patients, needed health reforms. Jupiter is the ethical planet that wants justice and has no fear of legal necessities, may be the Judge. Knowing this in advance gives us all a heads up that we are coming to a prime time to work in behalf of merciful repairs. Take courage. If you can’t do it yourself, find and fund a proven champion to work in your behalf. Please.  

Alexander Ruperti says ‘The number 13 refers to the Christ principle and as such is the symbol of the power to overcome death and limitations on all planes … Therefore, in essence, the Jupiter-Neptune cycle gives mankind a basic rhythm of and describes its urge toward transcendence.’ 13 is considered by some to represent a Gateway of the Soul. 

In our daily affairs, Jupiter may exaggerate with no hope for reason, LOL! Pisces is perfectly happy with this, his magical side is cheering him on, it’s an exciting yarn! Pisces has dreams and Jupiter sees no reason why they can’t come true! The two of them can be utterly mischievous together! Jupiter can sometimes get all ethical and abhors addictions that disable. At first he may make things worse with his judgments, or he looks for ways to help his mates stand clean again, to be strong for their futures, to make the world a better place. Your intuition may surge to overwhelming dimensions, you have never had visions like this before! Thank goodness the conjunction is between the Sun and Saturn in good aspect. Sun Lights the way and Saturn will help anchor the events, protect and build what’s needed.

May 3 Jupiter in Pisces sextile Pluto in Capricorn Once

The one with the answers walks among us. Some are invisible, some seem ordinary, others really are simply easily sneaky. This can be a super wealth aspect, it just comes upon us though Pisces doesn’t always care about money at all. It can be a cure for old age ailments. Just do what you love and profound healings occur or you simply self equalize your system by forgetting you were ill! Time for dreams to become true through laws ala the Right of Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. An obscure place or peoples, maybe an indigenous group, become especially important. An extinct animal may reappear or come from frozen wastelands. Maybe you will find the work of your soul! There are many extreme, extremely valuable possibilities that could come with this combination. Pay attention; look below the surface… Be careful not to put your hands or feet where you can’t see… Being lost may be the invitation to a new life. Get the keys to the locks and cross the threshold…or just bully through! They really won’t be surprised to receive you, LOL! The Threshold, Portal, is a sacred place. Don’t miss it.

2022 Sign Changes

The only planet changing signs is Jupiter. He previewed Pisces briefly from May 13 to July 28 2021. He returns to Pisces December 28, 2021. In 2022 Jupiter speeds completely through Pisces into Aries in only 5 months, on May 10, after his sextile with Pluto, the last 2022 outer planet to planet aspect! Late 2022 Jupiter retrogrades back into Pisces Oct 27 to Dec 20, a last chance affair, then it’s onward in Aries, the sign of new beginnings, no going back! The next day is Winter Solstice, the belly of winter. From there are the seeds of new beginnings, the ‘return of the Light!’

It’s one thing to make your vows in Pisces, another to take action in Aries! Pisces is what you believe in. Some say ‘Do not ask God to guide your footsteps if you are not willing to move your feet.’ The last sign, Pisces carries the Dream of all the signs. Aries is the first sign of the zodiac, the first responders. Initiation means more than taking a title. It means doing your vows. Aries are brave leaders, risk takers, rights fighters. They often have to make instant decisions to save lives. They are fiery Spirits that operate on instant instinct. Consulting is one of their best talents. Listen keenly. Ask your questions right now while they are there with you. They will be gone to the next fire quickly. Staying physically fit is essential and can be totally enjoyable. Prowess feels super! Independence is strong. Ride your bike! See more Jupiter in Pisces  See more Jupiter in Aries

Jupiter is looking for purpose with integrity! It takes a core truth and educates as many as will listen to why it is meaningful and worthy. Jupiter has a bold and confident way, expands, embellishes, emphasizes, gives extra! It’s edifying, LOL! Jupiter likes to play and tell whopper stories, have a great big dog and ride the winning horse! In Aries a lot of ground will be traveled, and quickly too! Speed is a delight. Records will be broken! Skating, surfing, skiing, biking! Wow!   

The Galactic Center, Algol and Pluto!

All three of these are dark characters! The GC is a gigantic black hole! Algol has a dark reputation, ie beheadings, when your lights go out. Pluto, ruler of the underworld, is the furthest planet from the Sun, the darkest and frozen to boot!

Fixed star ALGOL and the GC are in lockstep! Each being star factors, they each take 72 years to move a degree. Currently Algol is at 26 Taurus and the GC is 27 Sag. Whenever one is activated, so is the other. Algol and the GC have an oblique off center position (inconjunct), aware, but out of the corner of your eye. That position is common in the charts of psychics. They ‘see’ peripheral factors that influence the outcome. Inconjuncts sometimes lead you on a goose chase, but maybe to greener pastures. You do get a greater perspective. Even if you go back home, you are different. You have perhaps made new friends and associates that can carry that sector for you. Excellent adjustments are in the offing. Destination Algol would not usually be a conscious choice, but sometimes it is part of our Path and it just happens. Square your shoulders and do it, eyes wide open. Fascinating encounter.

Algol is the baddest Star according to some! It is a rare triple star and eclipsing binary, which means it blinks, and changes brightness, even ‘disappears!’ It is the Medusa’s Head, carried in the left hand of the Hero, Perseus. On the dark side, ‘It causes misfortune, violence, decapitation, hanging, electrocution and mob violence, and gives a dogged and violent nature that causes death to the native or others. It is the most evil star in the heavens.’ Some say it’s not the ‘bad’ within us but pushing through blockages to the beauty beyond is what really matters. We can face our demons with sincere intent and life changes for the better! See more!  See more about the spiritual side…

Algol’s bad rep, strikes fear in a lot of hearts, but so does the Galactic Center when people find out it is one gigantic black hole!!! You could vanish in an instant! You astral travelers might should be careful? I like to think of Algol as the GC’s Guardian. Algol is considered to be a super powerful feminine force. It would take such an entity to protect the mighty GC! Their off center relationship may take you on the road less followed, so to speak. There is a draw to explore. Algol is ready to stomp her feet and ‘invite’ you to travel, or takes you another place once the GC’s info has been bestowed, a place that needs the information the most. 

Many give Algol a wide berth, plan carefully astrologically. To be on the safe side, Astrologers often allow 5 degrees for the effective range with Algol while most stars get only 1 degree range. If in neighboring signs, only 3 or less degrees might be used. If you have chart factors in that 5 degree range, one way or another you are connected with Algol. If you have questions, do see your astrologer.

Pluto is now at 25 Capricorn and moves only 3° a year. Pluto retrogrades back and forth through the degrees as it travels Capricorn. Anytime it is between 23 Cap 27 to 29 Cap 27, it will trine Algol. That period started Feb 2020, virus time, and will go through Jan 2024. It is now continuously trine Algol. Exact trines are formed 5 times: on Spring Equinox Mar 20, & June 5, 2021, and in 2022 Jan 17, 2022 on the Full Wolf Moon, Aug 29, Nov 16. 

Pluto has been having the Algol experience, and is one of the few who can stand up under this trial. Very luckily, the trine is the most favorable angle, so though not unscathed, he survives. Both Pluto and Algol are respected and incur life and death situations. One hopes the trine bends the relationship with Algol to a more satisfactory outcome. Earth signs, like Capricorn, especially being the last Earth sign, are a bit ‘indelible.’ Their effects are more long lasting. Keep turning the tables on Algol’s bad rep. Stay calm in the face of violence, even your own anger. Shift your connections so better can happen. Know your rights and choose safety unless/even if you are trying to save someone’s life. If you are the offender, get all the help you can to change. Many a fine leader has come from a dark place.

Those of you with your Saturn’s from 10 to 25 Aquarius will be having your 28/9 year Saturn Returns in Capricorn’s year! 

Early 2022 Lunar patterns! For Full Moons the 27th degree (degree of Algol/GC/Pluto) will be activated 8 times Sep 2021 to April 2022. Fixed stars Polaris – the North Star, Betelgeuse in Orion are at 28 Gemini, and Procyon 25 Cn 47 will give varying additional effects per their type of connections with factors in your chart in close degrees. Those of you with factors close to 12 degrees in your charts will be activated by 7 New Moons from Oct 2021 to March 2022. Jan and March 2022 will have two New Moons in Pacific time zone. There is NO New Moon in February 2022. If you have factors at or within 3 degrees of both 12 and 27, all those New and Full Moons will activate you in sequence through the signs!

Late 2022 Lunar Sequences:
New Moons Sep and Oct 2022 are at 2 degrees. Nov to Feb 2023 are at 1 degree. March is at 0. Aquila’s Fixed Star Altair is at 1 Aquarius.
Full Moons Oct 2022 to April 2023 are at 16 degrees! 7 Months! Orion’s Fixed Star Rigel is at 16 Gemini!

Those of you with factors at or within 3 degrees of these will be activated! Set your goals for these periods and approach them progressively from every angle, every sign! Your project will gain volume and wholeness as you go ~ Lay out your plan per sign then expect to update as you grow with it and more possibilities become available! 

Wishing you a magical and inspiring New Year!

Enjoy these powerfully intense times! The possibilities are compelling!

Capricorn New Year New SuperMoon 2022! 

Sunday Jan 2 at 10:33 AM Pacific, 12 Capricorn 20!

This is an unpredictable New SuperMoon! Be alert, flexible, look for the openings!

Heber Lopez’s phenomenal Sedona image of the Milky Way and Cathedral Rock speaks to the Winter Solstice return of the Light! See it and other remarkable images at his page on Fine Art America!

This is the first lunar event after Winter Solstice, first 2022 lunar event, first New Moon! Now the days are getting longer, there is a natural response as days lengthen, an inkling of warming. We want to try our new ideas!! Maybe you have a goal this year, to have a career, business or service that more fits your Spirit, takes all your molecules to do it and you love every minute! Building in some form, architecture, working with elders, historical endeavors, mountaineering, renovation, remediation, rescues. Restructuring, micro sizing, science, research, the function of time. Matters of dignity and respect, fear or shame, losses of loved ones. Perhaps you would like to become an apprentice, or the Master. 

This New Moon potently links through 2022! 2021 Nov, Dec and 2022 Jan 2 and 31, and Mar there are five New Moons at 12 degrees in Scorpio, Sag, Cap AQ and Pisces. Those of you with chart factors close to 12 degrees will be activated by 7 New Moons from Oct 2021 to March 2022. Jan and March 2022 will have two New Moons in Pacific time zone. There is NO New Moon in February 2022. Set a goal related to the factors at or very near 12 degrees in your chart and approach it progressively from every angle, every sign!

This is an unpredictable New SuperMoon! Be alert, flexible, look for the openings! 

We have a loose 147° New Moon Bundle chart with a two conjunction 4-planet stellium in Capricorn. The base planet is Mars in rambunctious Sagittarius; the lead planet is Uranus, a wild card in generally steady Taurus! Venus, though dependable Capricorn, is retrograde working revisions and updates. Mercury and Jupiter have just changed signs, at 0 degrees, on new tracks. New signs bring a change of focus. It’s not like either of them has never been in these new signs before, it’s that the outer planets aren’t where they used to be.   

Bundle charts, concentrated in a small slice of the wheel, in few signs around the wheel, are often super focused. This one has six signs because of its spread. The focus it does have is the Capricorn stellium, cluster of planets. And within the stellium, the New SuperMoon Capricorn conjunction is united at 12° sextile in a same degree semi sextile Saturn, Capricorn’s planet. We will build new human infrastructure as well as buildings and highways. Saturn is currently in Aquarius, an unpredictable sign of genius that Saturn is trying to harness to good use! The SuperMoon has just passed a trine, the most favorable astrological aspect, with Uranus, the Aquarian planet, humanitarian networker, evolutionist, inventor! They have seen the new Uranian plans, talked over how remarkable and sensible they will be to implement. Capricorn is impressed. Sun gives his approval to work together. Mother Moon loves to see the community being taken care of and hopes the children will get on board too.

The second Capricorn conjunction is Venus Rx with Pluto. We will get things done that are worth the money, sweet rewards! Venus is retrograding away, but she is carrying Pluto’s mark! Pluto’s intensity and life and death perspective is not forgotten. Venus wants improvements, renovation, remediation of land, buildings, business, investments. They may pay off handsomely long term, but be immediately costly. Some fundraising is called for. In personal matters, relationships, Venus with Pluto adds an uncanny depth with a Capricorn reality that can’t be denied. Sometimes we need to accept being loved. Other times, it really never was love, or is ending. Venus grace and kindness will be needed.

Jan 5 Venus Rx will sextile Neptune again and knows more why the Soul wants what it wants. A difficult reality brings compassion, calls for help. There may be a realization of karmic shades of responsibilities in our relationships. It’s a gift and a blessing to care so deeply, sometimes soulmates, Soul to Soul. Artistic creators may be astounded by what they channel to this dimension. Neptune the dreamer is in his own sign Pisces, the realm of faeries, angels, mermaids, the seas of the world! Neptune is nuances, being swept by the tides, spiritual capacity, the music of the Soul. Neptune is immersion and invisibility, immense and nothing, lost in the nighttime fog, addiction, daytime bliss, ecstasy, humility. Neptune is unity, sacred sacrifice.

In addition to Venus Rx, Jan 14 Mercury retrogrades in Aquarius and their 15 day DOUBLE RETROGRADE begins. Mercury in AQ is pure genius, but also purely unpredictable as electrifying ideas cross their mind! Venus goes direct/forward, Jan 29, ending the double retrograde.

The base planet Mars in Sagittarius is instigator and optimist! He loves new beginnings and enjoys Sagittarian perspectives, to encourage them to happen. Consulting abroad brings knowledge, even blueprints! Planning goes quickly and it’s a joy, progress inspiring!

New Moons and Uranus! Since Virgo’s New Moon all the New Moons have been strongly connected with Uranus! There is no New Moon in February. March and the March/April New Moons are close and they are conjunct Uranus in April, finishing their sequence! Each New Moon is touched by the Aquarian planet, contributing to the preparation for Pluto’s 2023 move into Aquarius. The planetary connections with Uranus at each New Moon indicate the particular piece it plays that time. Uranus, the lead outer planet, steadily leads but not where the New Moon expects!

Lead planet Uranus in Taurus has a genius simplicity to it and things go much faster than expected. People are pretty surprised at the breakthroughs brought by the recent Saturn square Uranus! Everyone is rooting out what was holding them back! Mercury just into Aquarius, Uranus’s sign is taking up the thread of connections, getting the word out to the people worldwide. It’s not just the functionality of networking, but the meaningful content, essential human rights, the ecological humanitarian efforts. The territory being covered has great range and lasting alliances are being formed.

Uranus is the planet of freedom, evolution, the futurist. It works as an ultimate loner or in behalf of humanity, networking across continents. Genius, research, invention are it’s talents. Awakening and Enlightenment are its invitations. We see the Uranus in Taurus Earth all around us, feel the connection with the totality of the whole climate. We stop to chat along the way, agree about what differences may be required to heal, maintain and secure what is so precious. Friendships may come and go, but we hope Earth as we know it now is with us lifelong and for our children’s children too.

This is the first lunar event with Jupiter back in transcendent Pisces. Jupiter is in Pisces every 12 years. Jupiter previewed Pisces May to July 2021. This time, starting Dec 28, does the whole sign super quickly by May 10! It will then retrograde and return to Pisces about seven weeks Nov and Dec. Get to work, give now, that dreams will come true then!

Mercury is potently semi sextile Jupiter, with both at 0 degrees! Zero is the opening to the future with no limitations! With Mercury in Aquarius, the futurist, and Jupiter the Seer, they survey the possibilities, plenty of amazing new ideas in the offing! Jupiter expands Mercury’s perception even more! Mercury and Jupiter rule opposite signs, Gemini and Sagittarius, the facts and what they mean! Mercury in Aquarius is super scientific, ultra-logical, has remarkable insights, is wickedly beyond the range of normal thinking. It’s a form of psychic intelligence, some call ‘Knowing.’ Jupiter has far vision, lucky instincts, and in Pisces brings in the psychic arena of things that don’t make sense or aren’t ‘sensible’ experiences – dreams, epiphanies, visions, but often indicate the truth. It’s common ground to artists and musicians. Jupiter, the epic traveler, takes in the range of all points and fits them together for common purpose, makes a step by step plan that they all can freely update as they try it out! Totally dynamic! Mercury puts words to all this magic and relays their progress to the world, sometimes making headlines!  

Chiron in Aries is active on his own. As a healer, he is picking up the fallen on the marathon, the leaders with burnout, those with accidents, emergencies along the way, interferes with obsessive behaviors. Many of his clients are having unique issues in these new times. His immediate responses are filled with intuitive insights. It’s time for healers to heal just not themselves, but each other. Learning of one person’s experiences can help many others. Gather up and share even if you are, or maybe because, you are so independent. 

New Moon’s by nature start new cycles. Though in an old sign, traditional Capricorn, the collective factors are causing dissatisfaction, unrest, inquisitiveness, a yearning for change even if you don’t know what change to make. Capricorn wants to protect and maintain, but also knows when the system is at a breaking point. Making change in time, before it become critical, wisely guided by people who have been there before, can make all the difference, give a smooth transition. 

Many 2021 factors have had an Aquarian component, including this New Moon closely connected with the Aquarian planet Uranus! We are preparing for Pluto’s entry into Aquarius in 2023. We are more aware now that some connections need reworking, fixing, updating. Some ideas have long term implications worth working for, are financially productive, spiritually satisfying! Make notes then network like crazy to get more ideas to complete the package, select who will work together, and get it rolling! .

4 Behenian FIXED STARS! 

 

Wiki says: The Behenian fixed stars, [used by alchemists,] are a selection of fifteen stars considered especially useful for magical applications in the medieval astrology of Europe and the Arab world. Their name derives from Arabic bahman, “root,” as each was considered a source of astrological power for one or more planets. Each is also connected with a gemstone and plant that would be used in rituals meant to draw the star’s influence (e.g., into a talisman). When a planet was within six degrees of an associated star, this influence was thought to be particularly strong.

Erik Roth reminds us: The Behenian stars are stars that have been shared as magical but it is really all stars and planets have their own magic and can be utilized through symbolic, psychic, spiritual and otherwise magical purposes in our lives.  The near-infinite sky dome is a part of our lives and has been since our very distant ancestors hundreds of thousands of years looked upon them and not only wondered what they were but also from a place of seeking, of finding meaning and seeing something beyond themselves. 

Alphecca, one of the 15 Behenian Stars! This star is sometimes called Gemma, the jewel of the crown. A brilliant white star, it is also called the Pearl of the Crown. It is the Alpha star of Corona Borealis, the Northern Crown, at 12 Scorpio 35 (2021) is sextile the New Moon! Some hitherto unknown opportunities may emerge.

Alphecca marks the loop, or knot, of the ribbon along which are fastened the buds, flowers, or leaves of the wreath shown in early drawings with two long out-streaming ends. Corona Borealis represents the garland given by Venus to Ariadne on the occasion of her marriage to Bacchus after she had been forsaken by Theseus. Manilius said it ‘sparkles in the mid forehead. He was quite taken with the Crown. See his eloquent thoughts about it’s relationship with Virgo! Jamie at Astrology King says: it is of the nature of Venus and Mercury (idealistic, psychic, handsome, neat, lovable, refined, genteel, intelligent). It gives honor, dignity and poetical and artistic ability. 

With Moon: Public honor and dignity, suffers through law, partners and neighbors, trouble through underhanded dealings of enemies but eventual triumph over them, bad for love affairs, some faithful friends, greatly esteemed by Venus and Mercury people. (Robson) Honors and preferment.

With Sun: Active and brilliant mind, self-seeking, subject to scandal that does not affect the position. Honors and preferment.

Alphecca is opposite Uranus, which is inconjunct the New Moon! With Uranus Robson says: Selfish, mental affliction and violence at end of life, psychic power, suffering through occultism, deceptive, many false friends, small inheritance obtained with difficulty, losses by law, enemies and mercurial affairs, sorrow through children or an adopted child, domestic trouble through own acts, danger of a violent death. 

We have come a long way in our thinking about Uranus than when it was first discovered. Think in modern terms of the benefits of this planet and combine that with the issues Robson perceived. Uranus rules electronics and computers, networking of all kinds, humanitarian efforts, freedom, awakening, change, evolution. Alphecca’s charm and intelligence work well with so many opportunities!

Aquarian Abraham Lincoln 0°03′, and J. Paul Getty 1°36′, had Alphecca with Uranus. See more at Astrology King!

Fixed Stars Algorab 13 Libra – squares the New Moon, and Sirius 14 Cancer – is opposite the New Moon! I imagine few of you have done much work with or even heard of Algorab! It is on the right wing of the Raven, in the constellation Corvus, the Crow.  If you love the intelligent Corvids this may bode well for you, if not, all the nasties you hear of them may be part of the Truth.

• In the US Algorab’s rep is not so good. Astrologer Jamie Partridge summarizes: Algorab is one of the 15 magic related Behenian Fixed Stars. Its image is a raven, snake or negro dressed in black. It makes the wearer angry, bold, courageous and a backbiter, gives bad dreams, the power of summoning or driving away evil spirits and protection from winds and the malice of men and devils. – Whew! That’s impressive! If you sense those things in advance it can be a blessed forewarning.
• Quite differently he also states the 28th Chinese Xiù – 軫 (Zhěn) Chariot thinks:  This is the celestial Carriage and it represents the transport of tributes from foreign lands to the Emperor, thus the accumulation of wealth. It also presides over travel of all kinds and vehicles. It also presaged favorable winds and an end to storms. Events in business bring great profit and everything done heralds fortunate returns. Paying homage to ancestors will honor one with a “Dragon Child”. It is also a great day for marriages and births.
• But some modern astrologers concur that it shows up in terrorism events! See the details at Astrology King, Jamie’s site! Don’t ‘terrorize’ yourself or provoke others; help others and yourself to be safe. Be aware of triggers and danger signals and leave; talk later if possible. Use your intelligence in a good way.
• The New Moon is opposite the potent, brightest star of the night, Sirius! Sirius enjoys a terrific reputation for the most part, but also called the Dog Star, watch out for dog bites, LOL! It is another of the 15 Behenian stars. Sirius is of the nature of Jupiter and Mars (high ambition, pride, love of power, grandeur of view.) It gives honor, renown, wealth, ardor, faithfulness, devotion, passion and resentment, and makes its natives custodians, curators and guardians. It gives honor, the goodwill and favor of men and the airy spirits, and the power to pacify nobles and others. And to tease you, it rules beryl, savine, mugwort, dragonwort and the tongue of a snake. See a lot more at Astrology King! 

Pluto Trine Fixed Star Algol 26 Taurus 27 in 2020 – 2024

Pluto is of Scorpio, the sign opposite Algol’s sign Taurus, but Pluto now in Capricorn gentles that opposition because Pluto in Capricorn trines, favors Algol. Pluto rules death and rebirth while Algol is considered to bear misfortune, often death. They understand each other. Neither is to be messed with. Capricorn is noted for facing reality squarely. 

Algol is the baddest Star according to some! It is a rare triple star and eclipsing binary, which means it blinks, and changes brightness, even ‘disappears!’ It is the Medusa’s Head, carried in the left hand of the Hero, Perseus. On the dark side, ‘It causes misfortune, violence, decapitation, hanging, electrocution and mob violence, and gives a dogged and violent nature that causes death to the native or others. It is the most evil star in the heavens.’ Some say it’s not the ‘bad’ within us but pushing through blockages to the beauty beyond is what really matters. We can face our demons with sincere intent and life changes for the better! See more!

Many give Algol a wide berth, plan carefully astrologically. To be on the safe side, Astrologers often allow 5 degrees for the effective range with Algol while most stars get only 1 degree range. If you have chart factors in that 5 degree range, one way or another you are connected with Algol. If you have questions, do see your astrologer.

Pluto is now at 25° Capricorn and moves only 3° a year. Pluto retrogrades back and forth through the degrees as it travels Capricorn. Allowing a 3 degree range, anytime Pluto is between 23 Cap 27 to 29 Cap 27, it will trine Algol at 26 Taurus 27. That period started Feb 2020 – virus time, and will go through Jan 2024. It is now continuously trine Algol. Exact trines are formed 5 times: on Spring Equinox Mar 20, & June 5, 2021, and in 2022 Jan 17, 2022, Aug 29, Nov 16.

One hopes the trine, a good aspect, bends the relationship with Algol to a more satisfactory outcome. Earth signs are a bit ‘indelible.’ Their effects are more long lasting. Keep turning the tables on Algol’s bad rep. Recent violence, covid deaths, may leave raw feelings of grief, bitterness, betrayal. Freedom is still at issue. Stay calm in the face of violence, shift your connections so better can happen, turn a page, try out some new possibilities. Know your rights and choose safety unless/even if you are trying to save someone’s life. If you are the offender, get all the help you can to change. Many a fine leader has come from a dark place.

Pluto understands much of this. Capricorn often has working answers to bring us back together in common cause. Be safe and be well. Tread gently. Get all the facts then wait before you pass judgment. Steady in the Light.  

Algol’s connection with the Galactic Center!

Algol and the GC are in lockstep! Each being star factors, they each take 72 years to move a degree. Currently Algol is at 26 Taurus and the GC is 27 Sag. Whenever one is activated, they both are. Algol and the GC have an oblique position (inconjunct), aware, but out of the corner of your eye. That position is common in the charts of psychics. They ‘see’ peripheral factors that influence the outcome. Inconjuncts sometimes lead you on a goose chase, but maybe to greener pastures. You do get a greater perspective. Even if you go back home, you are different. You have perhaps made new friends and associates that can carry that sector for you, or be a link to that sector when you need it. Excellent adjustments are in the offing. Destination Algol would not usually be a conscious choice, but sometimes it is part of our Path and it just happens. Square your shoulders and do it, eyes wide open. Fascinating encounter.

Oh, yes, Algol strikes fear in a lot of hearts, but so does the GC when people find out it is one gigantic black hole!!! You could vanish in an instant! You astral travelers might should be careful? I like to think of Algol as the GC’s Guardian. Algol is considered to be a super powerful feminine force. It would take such an entity to protect the mighty GC! Algol is ready to stomp her feet and ‘invite’ you to travel, or takes you another place once the GC’s info has been bestowed, a place that needs the information the most.

Algol is in Taurus, the first Venus sign, has a sensual touch, loves earthy beauty, sculpts her own existence! The profound Galactic Center is in fiery Sagittarius, the sign between Scorpio and Capricorn. The GC is enjoying lots of laughs and adventure stories, sends rays and bolts of information we are barely capable of downloading let alone understand, and it’s not on anyone’s schedule! Capricorn is hosting Pluto, is trine Algol in Taurus and semi sextile The Galactic Center, piloting the whole scenario of these three powerful factors. By nature he is a no nonsense old Master and gives orders, expecting things to get done. All these three have street creds and are impressive, but Capricorn has hung out with the best and functions well at this level. He treats them more equally both to himself and each other. It’s his job. 

On a fine New Moon night, things are blended, no Moonlight or shadows. There is a certain equality as the playing field is equalized. It seems more quiet, even subdued. Without the daylight contrasts and sharp edges we are more receptive… Even if there is a breeze, there are no moving shadows… Sleep can be deeper.

Our New SuperMoon is an exciting game changer! It celebrates the New Year! Happy 2022!

Cancer/Capricorn Full Wolf Moon Jan 17!

.
Monday January 17, 3:48 PM Pacific, 27 Cancer 51 

Family! Working the old and the new are the challenge! Value both, combine wisely.

This is the first Full Moon after Winter Solstice and in 2022!

We are in a 27 Degree Sequence for SIX months! 2021 Oct, Nov, Dec and 2022 Jan, Feb, and Mar start a ‘season’ of six Full Moons at 27 degrees Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo. The Full Moons at 24 to 29 degrees, will activate Algol and the Galactic Center at 26 and 27 and their Pluto connections strongly 8 times Sep 2021 to April 2022. Fixed stars Polaris – the North Star, Betelgeuse in Orion are at 28 Gemini, and Procyon 25 Cn 47, will give varying additional effects per their type of connections with those signs. Note where these factors fall in your chart, which house(s). That is the section of  your life that they activate. Check with your astrologer for further personal details.

With Mama Moon at this distance from Uranus, and the rest of the planets near each other, this is a Moon Handle Bucket chart. The handle position is laying back. When you hold a bucket in this position, you can scoop or pour, receive or send forth. Planets that stand alone like this are emphasized, the access point for all the planets! Moon is in her own sign Cancer, so she is doubly potent, also in the lead position! Mothers are not to be messed with! They let us know what they have to give, what they want and what they will take home with them! Moon is seeking a safe home, food for her children and the mothers of the world. She runs a good business, distributes the goods, connects the community, its cultures and the matriarchy! Moon with her photographic memory, is a data bank! She takes meaningful information in its entirety back to her planets.

Two interesting features…

1. Moon has passed all the planetary connections except the Full Moon opposition with Sun. This means that immediately after the Full Moon, Moon will be in a condition astrologers call Void of Course. She has no further ‘course’ until she changes signs. Things in this sign are done. Generally it isn’t recommended to start new projects in this window. Nothing will come of it though the opposite philosophy is there is nothing to hinder it. But. Moon now is decreasing. If you are gardening the roots are growing. On the increase the above ground foliage grows. Depending on what the project is, or if you are opening a business, you may decide to wait for good aspects when Moon is on the increase after the next New Moon.
2. This is all happening while Venus and Mercury are in their DOUBLE RETROGRADE! Retrogrades used wisely are change makers. They re-sort and use a finer mesh for sifting what to keep. They make adjustments, can be a nuisance, but in the long run the system functions better with healthier returns. Moon can go with this. She makes the rounds through all the signs every 27 days and is always helping people upgrade! She sees it work! The length of the time is the prime consideration. Sometimes you want changes so you jump on the retrograde. If you are starting a long term business the continual changes may drain your profits. But, if you stay up with the times, you may find yourself to be the leader of your kind, up on the latest and capitalizing on it! We’re not just talking money. Stay up on how to take good care of yourself and your kids, what foods you eat. 

Opposite Sun in Capricorn, Moon directly feeds him. Capricorn puts her findings to work. He is a leader in his own right, the Man of the Family, the Patriarch, CEO, president, grand master. Capricorn rules elders, people of authority in the tribe. Capricorn’s job is to provide shelter, be father to the children, uphold the family reputation. He can be taskmaster, lawmaker, builder. 

 

Sun has just passed his annual conjunction with Pluto, Scorpio’s planet. Pluto is finishing Capricorn; will enter Aquarius March 23. 2023. This will be the 2nd to last time Sun will make this conjunction, giving Pluto needed strength and lighting his heart. Then for 21 years, their annual conjunction will be in Aquarius. Pluto looks for depth in relationships, at finances, shamanic healing, detoxing, death and rebirth! Capricorn wants dedication, professional success, traditional long term commitments, to be a good husband and parent. Sun sees Pluto’s deepest passions, the charisma, extremes and a lot behind the scenes. There are good and bads, but Capricorn understands failure, often surprisingly compromises, does what he can to help. 

Moon observes from the other side and offers what she can without invading privacy. She is impressed by both the danger and devilry, and the shamanic healing side of both Pluto and Capricorn Sun. While Pluto is the psychological therapist, one of the powers of Capricorn is doctoring the structures of our thinking and the skin and bones of our bodies. Chiropractors know how changing our mental and physical patterns can change our whole life! Moon sees their attitudes about women and may drop a few pithy points that may interfere with old careless thinking. She can see what scares them, their childlike facets. Her praise for small changes can go a long way… 

Mars in Sagittarius is pretty feisty! He expresses his opinions, tells moral stories to make his point! He is in strong semi sextile with Pluto, dares to be pushy, sure he himself is invincible! So Pluto takes a long look at Mars, assessing Mars’s core strength and credibility, whether he should listen to this new upstart on the scene. Mars could help Pluto by taking the story where it needs to be heard and Pluto’s privacy is preserved. Mars could try blackmail or slander, but he might regret it. Pluto has plenty of allies. Mars may be trying to pry Pluto loose, open his mind to broader perspectives. Hmmm… Mars is semi sextile Sun and Sun is with Pluto! There is a chance this fire planet might be up on things and amenable to the big ideas Mars is touting! Sun is ever courageous and may urge Pluto to take the chance. There are moments when breakthroughs just happen! Moon is watching the show from across the room. Pluto may call on her to take a look at Mars too. She can usually tell sincerity, truth and if the options are good. Mars wants to teach, and will travel, so they need to get with it or miss out! He’s a terrific first responder type, so if they need mental first aid, he’s the one! Listen, make notes, and let him go!

Venus at 13 Capricorn has retrograded almost back to her 12 degree station, a position she will hold for 14 days, Jan 22 to Feb 5! Right now she is semi Sextile Capricorn planet Saturn at 13 degrees. She is in conservative Capricorn while he is in avant-garde Aquarius. Old Saturn is pointing out how she can open channels and the reasons to do it. Time to build differently now due to planetary changes. He will inspire her to raise her sights in partnerships. Mercury retrograde has been with him, cueing him to shift his thinking too. Mercury in Aquarius has been squaring the Aquarian planet Uranus, challenging concepts of friendship and evolution. Relationships are taking on a new tone. Now part of the reason is to have relationships is to have working relationships, uniting for causes as well as classic reasons of home together, comfort and kids.  

Venus won’t Rx back far enough to get strong in the square with Chiron in Aries, but he is back there. As Chiron, he is thought by some to be the marriage planet. In Aries, he is an independent healer! Thinking of him, Venus is reinforced to stay strong and true with her choices. 

Aquarius Mercury Rx does sextile Chiron, exact Jan 25, just before she returns to Capricorn! Mercury in AQ is certainly spicy and spiky! New and different, odd and brilliant! Chiron has been tracking him. In Aries he is attracted to Mercury’s speed of thought, is enjoying the panoply of his thinking. Chiron wants to infuse healing ideas into Mercury’s humanitarian thinking, how to heal entire groups at a time by pinpointing change points that trigger and release their attention to a world of the latest ideas! Mercury thinks that is exciting and that it will save time, speed up evolution! He invites Chiron to join up at times, spend time with other healers, make broad plans for priorities planetarily. That will establish valuable connections Chiron can consult with, open up steady access to the latest ideas in his own field!

Jupiter and Neptune stand alone for now. Jupiter is just back in Pisces, Neptune’s sign. Jupiter can be broadminded; Neptune is infinite, a rainbow of inspiration! There are plenty of wandering, sometimes lost, Souls in the galaxy. Jupiter is funny, lucky, optimistic, sees the Great Plan for the future! He can cheer Neptune up when needed. Neptune entices Jupiter, so easy to do, to sweep into the world of spiritualism, psychic perception. This dimension is bigger than anything Jupiter ever imagined! Jupiter may go to church, but Neptune is the Universe! Jupiter is filled with ideas. Jupiter, the horse lover, wants to harness that Neptune energy, make it more accessible, incorporate it into our world plans. The implication of the insights are enormous. It’s a dream and a vision. The insights include ways to do it well and in a timely fashion, so it may be much closer to happening than we think! There will be a boost with their 166 year conjunction April 12! Set some special time aside and pick a special location too!

Pluto, Algol, Galactic Center! Pluto is now at 26° Capricorn and moves only 3° a year. Pluto retrogrades back and forth through the degrees as it travels Capricorn. Allowing a 3 degree range, anytime Pluto is between 23 Cap 27 to 29 Cap 27, it will trine fixed star Algol at 26 Taurus 27. That period started Feb 2020 – virus time, and will go through Jan 2024. It is now continuously trine Algol. Exact trines are formed 5 times: on Spring Equinox Mar 20, & June 5, 2021, and in 2022 Jan 17, 2022 THIS FULL MOON, Aug 29, Nov 16. Jan 17, the 3^rd trine, is a turning point of the five of them. 

Since Pluto trines Algol at 26 Taurus, a potent formation is made! The Moon is just past opposition Pluto and sextile Algol, considered by some to be an incredible feminine force!. In her own sign, Moon can fully understand Algol, feel the distress, be like a ‘Mother’ to her. She can cradle her close, heal some of the old hurts, the pain that has been long endured. Ultra feminine Moon, mature in late degrees of her own sign Cancer, has feelings many times more deep than usual. Women, children and home will be significant.

The Full Moon Capricorn Sun is just over a degree past his annual conjunction with Pluto! Such a Sun can be read as Scorpio (Pluto’s sign) as much as Capricorn! Nothing has been forgotten! Sun with Pluto then also trines Algol, so there is a sense of personal identity with Algol, our own demons. Pluto and Capricorn are also feminine factors, so be prepared for a lot of intuitive perception, revelations, epiphanies. Some may be fairly distasteful yet need to be dealt with, even if you decide to put them aside. But the majority of the signs/planets involved are action oriented, so sooner action is more likely than later.

Algol is lockstep with the Galactic Center 27 Sagittarius. Pluto, Sun and Moon are all connected! Sun is semi sextile the GC, while Moon is inconjunct the GC! They are being swept along with this potent combination. Cancer and Capricorn often like things just the way they are, at work and at home, but they are certainly being given the invitation to explore the Vastitudes! See all about them above in the New Moon, Fixed Stars section.

Family! Working the old and the new are the challenge! Value both, combine wisely.

Sagittarius 2021-22 Celestial HighLights, Timeline, Overview!

Sagittarius, Lord & Lady of the Robes!

Sagittarians are storytellers with a huge imagination, can be so funny you are literally on the ground laughing and can’t stop! On their travels, wanderings, they stop where they stop, casual, not a care in the world. The other side is dead serious, every step meticulously planned, an authority with allies, a force to be reckoned with.  

The robes of ancient valiant Horsemen, Warriors, Men of Power indicated their rank as they swept by as hunters or fighters, defenders, great landowners. They were strong and led the charge. Many were gallant, with surreal estates and had the finest most beautiful women of their times, an honor to be with them. Some were rogues to be reckoned with. Today we have events replicating their horsemanship, their horses, with exquisite costly modern dressups fit for the Queen! 

The robes and crowns of Kings and Queens may be jeweled, treated in a sacred fashion. Some royals worked hard, cleverly made unions, fought for their position, did well by their people. Some honorably inherited their position. Some stole it and used the people’s money, thugs and thieves. Ultimately the robes were meant to designate a person you could go to for help.  

The Judicious robes of Truth may wield the laws and orders for the Kings and Queens, governments, wealthy local powers, or stand in timelessness like Solomon’s wisdom. They may represent the power of the Church, and certainly are a part of the times they live in, some enlightened thinkers, others fanatically dedicated to the old ways, defenders of the Faith. 

The robes of the Graduate, learned Professors, respected Masters. The robes of learning can be students in graduation ceremonies or the Masters who are always learning, who teach them. Schools have many colors, and each university may have many levels and divisions within the school. In history certain people of respected stature naturally wore robes, carried them with authority and dignity at their full height with a strong stride. 

The robes of the Religious, Spiritual Masters, High Priestesses have at times been the humblest – the fiber and wools of the land. Some were wanderers that lived with the Earth. Some were secluded in private places, undisturbed, solitude for pure thinking. It wasn’t the clothes that made the person, but the person that made the person. Their beliefs call them, and it shows. Some are calm, some are shouters, but even the most quiet are heard. People stop to listen, to find out. Others dance with enthusiasm and people are joyfully awakened! 

The robes of the unordained but powerful Witches, Warlocks, Wizards! Their robes take them flying! The robes act like transmitters, taking them on the winds to where they are needed. Sometimes they hide the children to keep them safe. They gather herbs and supplies in their folds, tear it to bind their wounds. They sleep in them to keep warm. There is regalia of solitude and thoughtfulness. There are times for bright ceremonial garb to celebrate the Maypole and summer! 

The revered special white ‘Robes of Purity’ of the Bride draw us to a symbolic innocence, a promise made with clean intent. Though traditionally the Bride has to be asked, she has the power to say no. If she accepts, she is to be treated kindly, cherished because she has given herself. That bridal dress and veil is always a bright memory that reminds us who she really is and always will be, the Mother of our children, gives her life to us all. 

The black robe and hood hiding Death’s face… That natural time comes for us all.  Sagittarians are the Great Walkers. They will take us across town, continents, from life to across the rainbow bridge. Some shall have scanned the Tibetan Book of the Dead. Hospice workers and loved ones ‘wear the robes.’ As they bend over the ones letting go of their life connection here, ‘Death’ may have a smile on her face and you are not afraid as she holds your hand as you peacefully cross the Threshold. It may be wondrous or simply gentle. Blessed be forever….. 

Modern robes! The humble Bathrobe for personal privacy and warmth. Choir robes for special identity. Robes for protection from weather and for secret identity. What about those trench coats the detectives wear? They work long hours and it can get cold out there. Those comfy kaftans. Star Trek, Harry Potter, superheroes. Silk Kimono robes for superb beauty; the light robes of Shaolin monks.   

Think how many cloaks and robes we wear…The garments we ‘robe’ ourselves with… What are you wearing, or not, right now? Does it make you stand a little taller? Does it suit you anymore or is it time to do better in a good way for yourself? Step up to your true heartfelt destiny!

It was a question hanging over commencement ceremonies Monday: Would Stevie Wonder perform?

The musician, who was one of eight people — including Congressman and civil rights leader John Lewis and former Secretary of State John Kerry receiving honorary degrees Monday — didn’t sing or play a keyboard but the Yale University concert band did play his song, “I Wish,” while Wonder smiled wide and held his award high.

With all your Heart, Live deep, Stand tall, Love Well!

Sagittarius Overview 2021-2022

Where would you like to go? The Artist, Emily, The-ElvenDoodler, sees these magical keys as water, fire, earth and wind (air). Your lucky keys may be quite different, but they do get you through the Gateways and Portals! Make your own history!

Sagittarius plans to plan, lol! Sagittarius would rather be on a trip than planning a trip. Is less likely to marry in a formal wedding than most other signs, if they marry at all. Likes a career where they can call the hours, go surfing when the surf’s up. Generally has robust health, so why worry?! Yet learning and teaching have importance to them, import/exports are great fun, they are keen to travel and visit sacred sites and cathedrals, god places like the tops of close-to-heaven mountains! Beliefs and ethics, faith and trust mean a lot. They can be obsessively one pointed and focused, narrow minded and judgmental, or loose as a $100 bill in a breeze with no one chasing it…

But maybe you have a goal this year, to have a career that more fits your Spirit, takes all your molecules to do it and you love every minute! You might get into imports/exports, build a university, church or a casino, be a judge, start a horse ranch, raise dogs, start a travel business, bed & breakfast, become a tour leader to your favorite places, be a sports videographer, open a sports gear store or fitness center, invent games! Work your own hours. Play and get paid for it!

Sagittarius 2021 through January is rather intense and a lot complicated! We have Holiday preparations and celebrations, Winter Solstice, as usual, but this time Saturn is finishing up his 2021 square with Uranus in Taurus! There are jobs to finish and breakthroughs to be made. Some need a very careful touch. Dec 12 Jupiter in Aquarius makes his last exciting encounter with the Galactic Center IN SAGITTARIUS ~ there are no limits! There can be profound happenings cloaked in everyday affairs. Venus in Capricorn retrogrades Dec 19, leading to the DOUBLE RETROGRADE when Mercury in Aquarius retrogrades Jan 14! What we thought was true and finished is given some serious scrutiny, revisions made. After all is said and done, we will be surprised perhaps to be well pleased with the results but it’s going to take some time…

Maybe you will travel to exotic places! 

Countries that are ruled by Sagittarius include Spain, Australia, Chile, Hungary, Saudi Arabia, Bangladesh, Barbados, Cameroon, Kazakhstan, Kenya, Libya, and Mauritania.

Cities that are ruled by Sagittarius include Budapest, Johannesburg, Naples, Nottingham, Sheffield, Sunderland, Stuttgart, and Toronto.

If you can’t travel there, connect online, go to the local group meetings of immigrants from one of those places, support people in need in those areas. Experience another part of planetary culture.

Scorpio and Capricorn, compared to most signs, take devilry and hardship in stride. They are used to facing their demons squarely. Scorpio doesn’t even blink at times. Both can hold a straight face, good poker players. Capricorn often goes with strategy while Scorpio is watching both the front and back doors at once. Pluto, Scorpio’s planet, has been in Capricorn many years now, to go into Aquarius March 23, 2023. Scorpio and Capricorn have been living this combination through Pluto. Pluto has been clearing the Path of pain and debris so others, especially next sign Sagittarius can proceed untainted, in purity. Pluto, Scorpio are pleased to see their work progress through the Sagittarian globetrotter, spreading the good word of Scorpio’s work, showing the benefits of living in new ways.  

In these pandemic years, serious matters have befallen us in so many ways. Sagittarius has extraordinary optimism, has come through many a trouble, still has Faith. Long term plans are the guiding Light. Many sub plans for the next few hours, days, the month, the season, are the steps along the way. Sagittarians are excellent at making various adjustments as needed. Some are due to recoveries, some things done a little too quickly. Other adjustments are needed when things go so well and you have to keep up! One way or another, now is a time to get with it even if you don’t think it can be done, act as if! Get used to getting more done than you are used to! Do what makes your heart sing with people who are harmonizing with your song!

Many 2020 and 2022 charts are Bowls, rare Bundles, and Buckets and seesaws! They are a concentrated force! The Feb 11 2021 SIX planet air sign Aquarius New Moon stellium Bundle Chart was a super example! All the planets were in a potent 113 degrees, less than a third of the wheel! See more about Bowls and Bundles If a singular planet or a pair or cluster of very close planets venture beyond these formations, a Bucket Chart is formed, emphasis on these ‘handle’ planets. If several planets loosely spaced move opposite the base group, a Seesaw Chart is formed, planetary oppositions common, balance sought. In these times when the slow moving outer planets are closely together, the base group is steady. The Bundles and Bowls alternate with the Buckets and Seesaws as ‘inner’ planets, Sun, Moon, Mercury and Venus, sometimes Mars, proceed on their own out of the base group during the year. In her 27 day cycle, Moon jumps out ahead every month. Sun is on the other side 5 to 6 months of the year.

2021 has been, and is finishing, a super special AQUARIAN TIME! The February 11 SIX planets stellium Aquarian New Moon may have inaugurated a 2nd wave of the ‘Dawning of the Age of Aquarius!’ 59 Years ago in Feb 1962, the New Moon Eclipse chart had seven Aquarian planets and lasted longer. Saturn and Jupiter are in Aquarius, made the Great Conjunction Solstice Dec 21 2020! 2015 to 2024 Uranus, the planet of Aquarius, has been and is the lead outer planet. 2021 has had numerous outer planet aspects in Aquarius and ones formed to Aquarius’s planet Uranus, plus, Jupiter sextiles the Galactic Center three times, last on Dec 12! These prepare us for Pluto entering Aquarius March 23 2023! 

Mind you, the Ages are long, roughly every 2,150 years. Even 100 years would be a reasonable time frame for a transition from one to another. I think we could easily include 1962 and 2020/21 events and Pluto’s sign change into Aquarius in 2023 as part of the process. Pluto takes 248 years to circuit the zodiac. FYI the ages are reversed through the signs due to the Precession of Equinoxes. The previous age was Pisces, so we are now backing into the last degrees of Aquarius.

Going back to recent planetary action, Saturn and Jupiter made the leap for freedom, went into Aquarius Dec 16 and 19, made the GREAT CONJUNCTION Winter Solstice Dec 21, 2020! As one journey ends another begins. Pluto is in its final years of being in Capricorn. Pluto holds the power of life and death, represents the Phoenix that rises from its own ashes. In our lives that can be represented by poverty, bankruptcy, turned to wealth and powerful relationships. Capricorn is the mountain goat that rises to the heights, has staying power in extreme conditions, oversees, makes the laws, is the most efficient of all the signs, a survivor due to his own talents.

To make this Capricorn facet more potent, Saturn, Capricorn’s planet, and Jupiter were with Pluto as his support team! The difficult part was the Jan 12 2020 Saturn conjunct Pluto that probably brought the Virus, and Jupiter, a traveler, that had a role in transmitting it from China to other places. Yet, Pluto will continue to make impressive progress these last years even though Saturn and Jupiter have left him, now are in Aquarius. He may do even better because they have changed signs, leading him, wanting collaboration with the people to cure and heal, prevent more illness – and not just the virus, but working other matters as well, climate, politics. Since Pluto will be going into Aquarius March 2023, their work now is critical, paving the way for him. 

Following the Jupiter in Pisces preview from May 13 to July 28, 2021 Jupiter back in Aquarius continues to bring exceptional opportunities, especially for Aquarians through Dec 28! The sign lucky Jupiter is in, is the sign that succeeds and prospers! Saturn’s previous entry into Aquarius virtually shut down the airlines; Jupiter has revived them given certain conditions! Airlines, electronics, communications, organizations for sustainable change will flourish at new levels. Many patents will be filed, robotics, flying cars included. Jupiter in Aquarius! 

Adventurous Jupiter loves unstable ground, relishes making all the quick clever adjustments! Both Jupiter and Aquarius live for freedom! Since Saturn previewed Aquarius Mar 21 to July 1 2020, he is experienced and can handle the boisterous Jupiter Aquarius frolicking. He already knows there are lucky genius ideas afoot sometimes disguised as if there are no cares in the world! He sees it is that very freedom that makes them possible! He is able to tap the connections, make astute changes quickly, grab them while they are available ~ any moment Jupiter could run off to anywhere! The changes can enhance his business immeasurably! Jupiter’s current sign is where the good fortune is! Be ready to shift certain investments, adjust projects to include new, additional goals, especially those oriented to humanistic and planetary wellbeing. Aquarius will be delighted because as a researcher/thinker he doesn’t always get out to play, and Jupiter plays big. Jupiter even ups the amps on Aquarius’s own far thinking, and that is a rare thing to happen! Isn’t life grand?! Saturn may find himself on safari with Jupiter, or gone on the wind taking the computers to the surf zone when the surf’s up, whichever continent that may be on! Working from ‘home’ takes on new meaning! Really! Can be done!

Jupiter in Aquarius is like lightning! Things happen quickly. This is one of those periods when time itself seems speeded up! Jupiter in AQ knows the importance of immediate networking planet wide and how short a year’s window can be. Saturn has already been laying the groundwork. The possible collaboration of this team can have outstanding results much sooner than expected. 

Jupiter sped through Aquarius in record time, entered PISCES May 13 2021! It gave us a very brief preview, retrograded at 2 Pisces June 20! Magic happens! Jupiter travels the world, while Pisces travels the Spirit! Jupiter is a fiery planet so it may take a little getting used to Neptune’s Pisces damp waters. Yet, Jupiter loves speed sports, surfing, sailing, jet skiing, anywhere, the bigger the waves the better! Just be careful of tsunamis and floods! Jupiter philosophizes, tries to be just, to plan the best big future. Pisces talks with God, is psychic to the furthest realms, compassion his ruler. Jupiter may be harshly opinionated and Pisces can be an unable lost addict. Jupiter can be unkind; Pisces can be in denial, beyond caring. The other side of Jupiter is generous, can give hope, teach others to have faith beyond measure. He can help Pisces face the truth, Pisces knows he is lovingly regarded no matter what. Against the odds, recovery can happen. This can be one person in his own struggle or you working your piece for the world. Pisces gives Jupiter a dream, a vision of what can be, how miraculous recovery can be, what enormous strength and courage it takes. Even Jupiter is humbled…and grateful.

As Jupiter in Aquarius is super lucky for Aquarians, it is out of this world in Pisces for Pisceans! Jupiter cheers them up, expands their already magical dimensions, gives them further faith and awareness, heals their spirits from addictions and fears. Major tours are possible and successful dreams come true! It’s time to push the river a bit while the Gateway is open!

Jupiter returns to Aquarius July 28 until Dec 28 when he re-enters Pisces to stay. The Aquarian and Piscean talents will be commingled! The Path between them becomes a usable channel. Hopefully groups of crusaders will learn how to work together in current times, accomplish great deeds. Knowledge for all through the internet will keep us immediately informed, focused on task, adjusting priorities quickly! Jupiter traverses only part of one more sign, ARIES, the first sign of the zodiac! When Pluto enters Aquarius Jupiter will be at 17° Aries in a FIVE planet Aries stellium! Aries is the Action sign! That’s what I call a new beginning! 

Starting with the sign changes, in 2021 there are 13 aspects formed in Aquarius and Aquarius’s planet Uranus will be aspected 5 times! The first 4 of those 5 will be challenges, finding the existing weaknesses/blockages, remedying what needs adjusting, getting a flow going. The last one will be a positive aspect, an exciting finale of all those aspects, Feb 17, 2022 when Jupiter in Pisces sextiles Uranus, the AQ planet! 2021 alone will host 16 Aquarian type aspects! Then we wait, let things mingle, brew, progress, prepare, until Pluto makes that stupendous sign change into Aquarius Mar 23, 2023! We need Aquarius to be strong, in working order, integrated and grounded among ourselves, in our communities, internationally. 

We need to strengthen our Aquarian young people, our future leaders, and all Aquarians! Pluto is tough on the sign it is in and at the same time empowers them! Growing pains take strength. Take time to listen, cheer them on. Admire their broad scope, how they get teams going, their care for humanity and our planet, their inventions and science. Help them know how to carry on even when they are not appreciated or understood. They are so intelligent, ahead of their time, that not everyone will understand their work, yet the work needs doing.

The preparation for Pluto entering Aquarius will take steady and dedicated work, staying focused. Everything about how groups and friendships work, the importance and techniques of research, how change is brought about successfully, are the goals. The foundation needs to be set. It will be explored, tested and trialed by Saturn and Jupiter being in Aquarius. 

Pluto in Aquarius will bring a new time. Pluto is Scorpio’s planet and Pluto/Aquarius are not exactly ‘compatible.’ Pluto has a ton of charisma, yet is as much private as Aquarius can’t help but bring attention by his simple presence. AQ is exotic, super intelligent, often revels in neon colors, odd/unique looks and attire, has electric static. He can get attention for being THE archetypal loner, or the brilliant head of a world humanitarian organization. Pluto is going to have some adjusting to do. He may be concerned for loss of privacy, be a bit jealous too. At the very worst, there could be power struggles for world rule, including genocide. Or they will do fundraising like never seen before! Pluto may gather the world’s top wealthy humanitarians and make governments of countries look small in comparison. Since these groups will have no governmental constraints, they may bring the world together when governments couldn’t. By comparison, the financially unsupported United Nations may become passé, or it’s possible its structure already in place may be revitalized! Comprehensive large scale inventor/researcher work could do very well to sustain and amplify their efforts.

Pluto will be in Aquarius 21 years, until January 2044! All the upcoming Aquarian flavored aspects will give us a head start. We’ll do Pluto in Aquarius better! Pluto was last in Aquarius 248 years ago, 1777 to 1799, a 22 year period of worldwide uproar and change – American Revolution, the French Revolution, the Industrial revolution in England. And it won’t be any different this time! Guarantee! So get your friends and alliances/networks in working order, stand up, get used to acting progressively, and be ready to roll! Some will mightily resist; others will persist with new ideas. Change will beget change. Take a peek at what Patrick Watson has to say on Pluto per sign historically. Check out what Lynn Hayes has to say about what Dylan Love has to say on transhumanism. 

Since that last 248 years ago we now have bombs, climate change, electronic communication, robotics, and a helluva a lot more people on the planet. Water and weather wars are possible. Actually, water wars are already starting – pollution prevention, Detroit, Standing Rock. We need to reassess our mandates for leadership – age and both physical and mental health. There are going to be some bumps. Some say, after the kinks are worked out, there will be a ‘Golden Age!’ Make it so. …or would that be really boring, LOL?! Evolution never quits.

Young people born around 2003 will be about 20 in March 2023 and from 20 until they are 41, will live this period. Their lives will be about this world changing time. Help them now. Prepare them to be strong and steady leaders then. Strengthen everything Aquarius in your life.

2021 Jupiter and Saturn activate Chiron and Uranus. 

Jupiter initiated connections with Chiron and Uranus. They were just once each, Jan 11 Jupiter in AQ sextile Chiron, Jan 17 square AQ’s planet Uranus. Jupiter is first considering purpose, plans, perspective. Saturn carries these planetary connections to Chiron and Uranus throughout 2021. Feb 9 Saturn in AQ started the sextile Chiron in Aries series, then Feb 17 squared AQ’s planet Uranus in Taurus the first time! Saturn will make these aspects three times each. If Jupiter hit the nail on the head, Saturn will anchor it to build on further. Chiron the healer/teacher in Aries, the Leader, is called on first to guide the way. Then Uranus is challenged. Friendships and alliances will shift due to new needs. It will be a time of weeding the weak, not fully capable or dedicated. At first there may be a seeming standstill as decisions are made, but the situation is brewing just the same. Initially there can be some false starts, mistakes, trial and error needed in this new territory, but things will get sorted out. We’re working with new materials, new energies, new parameters with the virus, new people, new locations, and everyone is adjusting. Saturn makes the last square to Uranus Dec 23, 2021.

► The most exciting aspect of 2021 is Jupiter sextile the Galactic Center three times! Earth Day April 22, Aug 20 and Dec 12 – Twelve Twelve! Jupiter will consult with the gods and goddesses of the heavens! The GC is the center of our Galaxy, the Milky Way. Jupiter, the far traveler, has no problem with such a journey, especially while in Aquarius, the very sign of the heavens, stars and flight! Jupiter is associated with Sagittarius, the home of the GC! Perfect combination, and how apropos to the Aquarian emphasis at this time! Jupiter will be our emissary, a generally broad minded planet with a huge perspective, a gift to discover possibilities of the future! The GC will not fail to transmit, infuse, present magnificent infinite consciousness stirring insights and instruction. We have three chances to take it in, grow with it. The Galactic Center is at 27 Sagittarius 09. If you have factors in your chart that match up within 5 degrees of that 27th degree, you will be called. Unlike with fixed stars, only 1 degree usually allowed, the Galactic Center is HUGE! If you are involved with meditation, circles, consciousness raising groups, if ever there was a time to tune in, it is NOW!

Paul O. Hewit writes: “it is probably the second strongest spot in any astrology chart, following the Sun. It is a stunning source of energy, motivation, and aspiration. The Galactic Center is the Sun of our Sun. It is the source of most of the gravitational energy present in our galaxy, and probably the source of most of the energy in any chart, transformed through our own Sun.” [Some say the GC IS the strongest factor in our charts!] It moves only a degree every 72 years, so you can easily get the degree it was when you were born. Have your astrologer calculate its exact position for you.

Portals are all around us. Some are temporary, some are always there. Some are annual like the August 8 Lion’s Gate. No two are alike, take us different places. Some are one way, others are two way but perhaps only at certain intervals – you have to be there or… Some lifetimes there are none, others have several passages. And there are the portals into and out of life.

 

2022’s Three Aspects, planetary portals, the only 2022 Aspects and they only happen once each!

 

All three of 2022’s aspects are done by May 3, in just over 4 months! All will be formed while Jupiter is in Pisces. The rest of the year will be putting our discoveries into practice, improving, holding and maintaining good ground gained. Jupiter in Pisces and Aries will show us the endings and dreams of Pisces as the last sign of the Zodiac, and the beginnings Aries will work for. It will be good to rest and relax, then stretch our physical and spiritual muscles and take action! 

Feb 17 Jupiter in Pisces sextile Uranus in Taurus Once

This is the last of the Aquarius/Uranus aspects that prevailed from Dec 2020, throughout 2021! Time for celebration and pledges to the future!

Two fast planets in differently tempoed signs Pisces and Taurus. Jupiter loves races and often has the long legs to win! Uranus is the genius with the greased lightning mind! Pisces has an adjustable speed potential, like a fast swimmer, the speedboat or yacht race, but is also the meditator like the Buddha that sat by the road for years…enjoys the silence at the ashram, or the roar of a rock concert! Lots of dimensional ability. Taurus has no intention of rushing about. He has his own steady pace, enjoys sitting peaceably. He’s not lured into undignified behavior.

Jupiter and Uranus’s works are cut out for them. They will speed up the others. They also learn that sitters and plodders are getting quite a bit done with a lot less external energy being shown. They just do it. Pisces finds the shortest route and uses psychic ability to do it. Smooth. Taurus is sensible and doesn’t worry. He sits with it and the plan forms with his patience. It’s uncanny. They both come up with solutions that are off the books. They think for themselves. At times the fast planets lose themselves in the fray, burnout, and have to stop, come to their senses, recenter, restart where it all went awry. Sometimes needs require a faster tempo. At those times let the speedy planets guide you. They do have our well being in mind and often make ‘accidental’ discoveries! Pass the baton back and forth!

► April 12 166 Year Event! Jupiter conjunct Neptune in his own sign, at 23 Pisces Once! The Promise of 2022! 

Jupiter Conjunct Neptune reads the same as Jupiter in Pisces only more so! Pisces is Neptune’s sign and Neptune is currently IN Pisces, his own sign! Jupiter right there with Neptune most certainly ups the amps very specifically! Jupiter with Neptune comes by only every 13 years, but when Neptune is potently in Pisces, Neptune’s own sign, only every 166 years! The last time Jupiter was with Neptune in Pisces was May 17 1856! Freud, George Bernard Shaw, Tesla and Woodrow Wilson, all Chinese year of the Dragon, were born in 1856.

This is the big event while Jupiter is in Pisces and of 2022! In fact, this is a rather special conjunction! Robert P. Blaschke says ‘2009 has also brought the alignment of Jupiter and Neptune in the sign of Aquarius. [2022 it’s in Pisces, the next sign.] Conjunctions of these two planets take place at 13-year intervals and every thirteenth conjunction recurs at nearly the same Zodiacal position. Neptune’s sidereal cycle averages 165 years and the Jupiter-Neptune conjunctions divide the Neptune cycle into 13 sub-periods (13 x 13 = 169).’ 

Blaschke further writes, ‘As Neptune moves from one sign to the next, eleven out of twelve times it meets Jupiter only once while transiting a sign. Dane Rudhyar and Alexander Ruperti both wrote that the Jupiter-Neptune conjunction is the high-point of Neptune’s stay in any given sign.‘ See more about what Blaschke writes

Neptune, Pisces, work with spiritual matters, soul saving, dire conditions of suffering. It might be symbolically saving children in sweat shops, cruel conditions for inmates or mental patients, needed health reforms. Jupiter is the ethical planet that wants justice and has no fear of legal necessities, may be the Judge. Knowing this in advance gives us all a heads up that we are coming to a prime time to work in behalf of merciful repairs. Take courage. If you can’t do it yourself, find and fund a proven champion to work in your behalf. Please.  

Alexander Ruperti says ‘The number 13 refers to the Christ principle and as such is the symbol of the power to overcome death and limitations on all planes … Therefore, in essence, the Jupiter-Neptune cycle gives mankind a basic rhythm of and describes its urge toward transcendence.’ 13 is considered by some to represent a Gateway of the Soul. See more about this 166 year event!

In our daily affairs, Jupiter may exaggerate with no hope for reason, LOL! Pisces is perfectly happy with this, his magical side is cheering him on, it’s an exciting yarn! Pisces has dreams and Jupiter sees no reason why they can’t come true! The two of them can be utterly mischievous together! Jupiter can sometimes get all ethical and abhors addictions that disable. At first he may make things worse with his judgments, or he looks for ways to help his mates stand clean again, to be strong for their futures, to make the world a better place. Your intuition may surge to overwhelming dimensions, you have never had visions like this before! Thank goodness the conjunction is between the Sun and Saturn in good aspect. Sun Lights the way and Saturn will help anchor the events and build what’s needed.   

See what factors in your personal chart are activated. Check with your Astro*Locality astrologer to make special plans to be somewhere significant to you at that time of the Promise of 2022!

May 3 Jupiter in Pisces sextile Pluto in Capricorn Once

The one with the answers walks among us. Some are invisible, some seem ordinary, others really are simply easily sneaky. This can be a super wealth aspect, it just comes upon us though Pisces doesn’t always care about money at all. It can be a cure for old age ailments. Just do what you love and profound healings occur or you simply self equalize your system by forgetting you were ill! Time for dreams to become true through laws ala the Right of Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. An obscure place or peoples, maybe an indigenous group, become especially important. An extinct animal may reappear or come from frozen wastelands. Maybe you will find the work of your soul! There are many extreme, extremely valuable possibilities that could come with this combination. Pay attention; look below the surface… Be careful not to put your hands or feet where you can’t see… Being lost may be the invitation to a new life. Get the keys to the locks and cross the threshold…or just bully through! They really won’t be surprised to receive you, LOL! The Threshold, Portal, is a sacred place. Don’t miss it.

2022 Sign Changes

The only planet changing signs is Jupiter. He previewed Pisces briefly from May 13 to July 28 2021. He returns to Pisces December 28, 2021. In 2022 Jupiter speeds completely through Pisces into Aries in only 5 months, on May 10, after his sextile with Pluto, the last 2022 outer planet to planet aspect! Late 2022 Jupiter retrogrades back into Pisces Oct 27 to Dec 20, a last chance affair, then it’s onward in Aries, the sign of new beginnings, no going back! The next day is Winter Solstice, the belly of winter. From there are the seeds of new beginnings, the ‘return of the Light!’

It’s one thing to make your vows in Pisces, another to take action in Aries! Pisces is what you believe in. Some say ‘Do not ask God to guide your footsteps if you are not willing to move your feet.’ The last sign, Pisces carries the Dream of all the signs. Aries is the first sign of the zodiac, the first responders. Initiation means more than taking a title. It means doing your vows. Aries are brave leaders, risk takers, rights fighters. They often have to make instant decisions to save lives. They are fiery Spirits that operate on instant instinct. Consulting is one of their best talents. Listen keenly. Ask your questions right now while they are there with you. They will be gone to the next fire quickly. Staying physically fit is essential and can be totally enjoyable. Prowess feels super! Independence is strong. Ride your bike! See more Jupiter in Pisces  See more Jupiter in Aries

Jupiter is looking for purpose with integrity! It takes a core truth and educates as many as will listen to why it is meaningful and worthy. Jupiter has a bold and confident way, expands, embellishes, emphasizes, gives extra! It’s edifying, LOL! Jupiter likes to play and tell whopper stories, have a great big dog and ride the winning horse! In Aries a lot of ground will be traveled, and quickly too! Speed is a delight. Records will be broken! Skating, surfing, skiing, biking! Wow!   

The Galactic Center, Algol and Pluto!

All three of these are dark characters! The GC is a gigantic black hole! Algol has a dark reputation, ie beheadings, when your lights go out. Pluto, ruler of the underworld, is the furthest planet from the Sun, the darkest and frozen to boot!

Fixed star ALGOL and the GC are in lockstep! Each being star factors, they each take 72 years to move a degree. Currently Algol is at 26 Taurus and the GC is 27 Sag. Whenever one is activated, so is the other. Algol and the GC have an oblique off center position (inconjunct), aware, but out of the corner of your eye. That position is common in the charts of psychics. They ‘see’ peripheral factors that influence the outcome. Inconjuncts sometimes lead you on a goose chase, but maybe to greener pastures. You do get a greater perspective. Even if you go back home, you are different. You have perhaps made new friends and associates that can carry that sector for you. Excellent adjustments are in the offing. Destination Algol would not usually be a conscious choice, but sometimes it is part of our Path and it just happens. Square your shoulders and do it, eyes wide open. Fascinating encounter.

Algol is the baddest Star according to some! It is a rare triple star and eclipsing binary, which means it blinks, and changes brightness, even ‘disappears!’ It is the Medusa’s Head, carried in the left hand of the Hero, Perseus. On the dark side, ‘It causes misfortune, violence, decapitation, hanging, electrocution and mob violence, and gives a dogged and violent nature that causes death to the native or others. It is the most evil star in the heavens.’ Some say it’s not the ‘bad’ within us but pushing through blockages to the beauty beyond is what really matters. We can face our demons with sincere intent and life changes for the better! See more!  See more about the spiritual side…

Algol’s bad rep, strikes fear in a lot of hearts, but so does the Galactic Center when people find out it is one gigantic black hole!!! You could vanish in an instant! You astral travelers might should be careful? I like to think of Algol as the GC’s Guardian. Algol is considered to be a super powerful feminine force. It would take such an entity to protect the mighty GC! Their off center relationship may take you on the road less followed, so to speak. There is a draw to explore. Algol is ready to stomp her feet and ‘invite’ you to travel, or takes you another place once the GC’s info has been bestowed, a place that needs the information the most. 

Many give Algol a wide berth, plan carefully astrologically. To be on the safe side, Astrologers often allow 5 degrees for the effective range with Algol while most stars get only 1 degree range. If in neighboring signs, only 3 or less degrees might be used. If you have chart factors in that 5 degree range, one way or another you are connected with Algol. If you have questions, do see your astrologer.

Pluto is now at 25 Capricorn and moves only 3° a year. Pluto retrogrades back and forth through the degrees as it travels Capricorn. Anytime it is between 23 Cap 27 to 29 Cap 27, it will trine Algol. That period started Feb 2020, virus time, and will go through Jan 2024. It is now continuously trine Algol. Exact trines are formed 5 times: on Spring Equinox Mar 20, & June 5, 2021, and in 2022 Jan 17, 2022, Aug 29, Nov 16. 

Pluto has been having the Algol experience, and is one of the few who can stand up under this trial. Very luckily, the trine is the most favorable angle, so though not unscathed, he survives. Both Pluto and Algol are respected and incur life and death situations. One hopes the trine bends the relationship with Algol to a more satisfactory outcome. Earth signs, like Capricorn, especially being the last Earth sign, are a bit ‘indelible.’ Their effects are more long lasting. Keep turning the tables on Algol’s bad rep. Stay calm in the face of violence, even your own anger. Shift your connections so better can happen. Know your rights and choose safety unless/even if you are trying to save someone’s life. If you are the offender, get all the help you can to change. Many a fine leader has come from a dark place.

Those of you with your Saturn’s from 8 to 25 Aquarius will be having your 28/9 year Saturn Returns in Sagittarius’s year! 

Lunar patterns! For Full Moons the 27th degree (degree of Algol/GC/Pluto) will be activated 8 times Sep 2021 to April 2022. Fixed stars Polaris – the North Star, Betelgeuse in Orion are at 28 Gemini, and Procyon 25 Cn 47 will give varying additional effects per their type of connections with factors in your chart in close degrees. Those of you with factors close to 12 degrees in your charts will be activated by 7 New Moons from Oct 2021 to March 2022. Jan and March 2022 will have two New Moons in Pacific time zone. There is NO New Moon in February 2022. If you have factors at or within 3 degrees of both 12 and 27, all those New and Full Moons will activate you in sequence through the signs! Set a goal and approach it progressively from every angle, every sign!

Enjoy these powerfully intense times! The possibilities are compelling!

Freedom makes for solidarity! Changes and new channels bring lifesaving connections!

Sometimes, the sky mimics the ground. Taken in 2017 May from the Atacama Desert in Chile [Sagittarian country], the foreground of the featured image encompasses the dipping edge of the caldera of an extinct volcano. Poetically echoing the dip below is the arch of our Milky Way Galaxy above. Many famous icons dot this southern nighttime vista, including the center of our Milky Way Galaxy on the far left, the bright orange star Antares also on the left, the constellation of the Southern Cross near the top of the arch, and the red-glowing Gum Nebula on the far right. Just above the horizon and splitting two distant volcanic peaks near the image center is the Large Magellanic Cloud — the largest satellite galaxy of the Milky Way. Image at NASA by Carlos Eduardo Fairbairn

This may be the Last New Moon of 2021, but it potently links through 2022! 2021 Nov, Dec and 2022 Jan 2 and 31, and Mar there are five New Moons at 12 degrees in Scorpio, Sag, Cap AQ and Pisces. Those of you with chart factors close to 12 degrees will be activated by 7 New Moons from Oct 2021 to March 2022. Jan and March 2022 will have two New Moons in Pacific time zone. There is NO New Moon in February 2022. Set a goal related to the factors at or very near 12 degrees in your chart and approach it progressively from every angle, every sign!

Being a TOTAL ECLIPSE, the New Moon lineup is super strong, straight as a Sagittarian arrow at short distance! The focus is formidable. They can see like lasers at long distance, the outcome! Projects started at this time may fizzle if not in alignment, but if they are, they may be obsessive until finished, and forget the Sagittarian procrastination, they will get done, LOL!

Mars in Scorpio pushes this Bowl Chart while Uranus, also an instigator, leads in Taurus! The planets are spread through all the signs in the Bowl, gathering a potpourri of info as they cross the territories. Sag has three planets, Capricorn and Aquarius both have two, so more than half of the planets are right there! Knowledge, Wisdom and Evolution are to be acquired for the Bowl to peruse, later to spill out when and where needed!  

Mars is strongly engaged, determined to do his duty. Mars in Scorpio sextiles Venus and Pluto in Capricorn, and squares Jupiter in Aquarius, the heist of a lifetime, but the motion sensors were on! Mercury in Sagittarius is overconfident and square Neptune makes some mistaken assumptions. The New Moon thought it could rely on their friend Uranus in Taurus, but the angle is oblique, friend not available. Saturn in Aquarius is squaring Uranus in Taurus and the info was delayed or faulty. Historically, Eclipses, ‘eclipse’ the situation. Either something more dramatic happens and the project is ‘lost’ to other circumstances, or somehow it just becomes unseen. Maybe the friend just doesn’t show up with the needed piece of gear, or the food. Yes, it’s a New Moon, but likely not quite what you expected. Thank goodness Sagittarius rolls with it, is happy and optimistic with whatever discoveries are made! Mars addresses all the issues. Even with some bumps along the way, the healing is achieved due to his strength and perseverance! 

New Moons and Uranus! Virgo’s new Moon trined Uranus at 14 degrees. Libra’s New Moon was inconjunct Uranus at 13 degrees. Last month’s Scorpio New Moon was the same degree opposite the Aquarian planet Uranus by 7 Minutes of space! This month they are inconjunct, oblique at 11 and 12 degrees. March and the March/April New Moons are close and they are conjunct Uranus in April, finishing their sequence!

Uranus is the planet of freedom, evolution, the futurist. It works as an ultimate loner or in behalf of humanity, networking across continents. Genius, research, invention are it’s talents. Awakening and Enlightenment are its invitations. Sagittarius’s Mama Moon and Papa Sun may speed along on their fine motorcycles and love the air breezing by down the road with their remarkable friend. They see the Uranus in Taurus Earth all around them, feel their connection with the totality of the whole climate. They stop to chat along the way. They agree about what differences may be required to heal, maintain and secure what is so precious. Friendships may come and go, but we hope Earth as we know it now is with us lifelong and for our children’s children too.

Uranus steadily leads the Bowl chart but not where the New Moon expected! And Sagittarius loves an exploration! New methods, premises of thought, literal locations, connections, skew the outcome with a richer context. The ground itself sings! Data is stored in super systems, swarms, the diagrams and visuals are wide treasures of learning, broaden our points of view. Venus with Pluto adds an uncanny depth with a Capricorn reality that can’t be denied. Venus has just passed sextile with Neptune and now knows more why the Soul wants what it wants. A difficult reality brings compassion, calls for help. There may be a realization of karmic shades of responsibilities in our relationships. It’s a gift and a blessing to care so deeply, Soul to Soul. 

Mars in Scorpio sextile Pluto, Scorpio’s planet, in Capricorn loves the spice of calculated danger, being on the edge. Can be physical or a dangerous point of view. Venus makes the goal even more seductive! Mars rarely can’t make up his mind, but he is caught between anonymity, a ‘sure’ thing, and Jupiter’s wild enticement to take a different road than what the group usually takes! He might be feeling he has to stand for safety for the women and kids, even to the point of fighting for them, or letting the group split, some following the Aquarian upstart. Jupiter in Aquarius can sound so comfortably confident, others can’t believe his lead could be false. And it could be a breakthrough. Mars might decide to give it a chance with certain caveats. It’s one thing to go cruising with Uranus in Taurus, but entirely different with Jupiter in Aquarius, the Uranus sign!

Scorpio has a similarity to Uranus/Aquarius. Scorpio also wants the freedom to be himself, untampered with. He wants privacy and needs time alone. But they differ other ways. When in relationship, Scorpio wants the deepest intimacy, for life, with meaningful sex, but will do without if not possible. Jealousies, possessiveness are his undoings and the love of his life may leave him. Some say they are too intense, obsessive. Scorpio does shamanic healing from psyche to body, finances too. His own recovery rate from life threatening injuries is phenomenal! They understand taboos, can standby with deathing. Scorpio is a deep thinker, an invincible martial arts spiritual warrior that will give his life to save yours. Or if there is cruelty, he may feel justified in taking yours depending on circumstances. Scorpios powerfully relate with the underworld both for bad and good. They survive on their wits in the most dangerous situations – SEALs, special ops, marines, medics, policemen. Their totems are reptiles – the snake, don’t tread on me, the Eagle, bird of prey that flies higher consciousness. Halloween, Day of the Dead, is their time of connection with the wisdom of the Ancestors.

Mercury in Sagittarius is with the New Moon, thinking his way across the sky, intrigued by the sweeping mind stretching vistas! There are impressive bodies of knowledge, some are tabulated for the taking, some need sorting. His square with Neptune shows him the worm holes, channels around corners, taking him deeper, higher on the waves of consciousness than ever before! It can spin your world, dizzy your perception, loosen your beliefs that are dropped along the way like they were nothing, with no substance any longer. You feel lighter, gravity has no hold. Sagittarius is happier than at the carnival rides! It may be scary at moments ~ will you ever be able to go home? Yes, but you won’t be the same, and that’s ok. You will connect with new people who ride at your new level. They can show you how to regroup! What a trip!

If people ask you if you are confused, heartily say Yes! Thank goodness you have the ability to experience such a state! Your awareness increases, your options expand. Confusion shows a questioning mind in progress! Invite them along!  

Mercury naturally collects data every existing moment. There is such a divine spread of material it starts to sort itself into categories as we see the gist of things! Mercury hums along, singing it all into place, the missionary of mental order. Sagittarius has perspective that helps us collaborate on the toughest world topics on the plate today. Vaccines, climate/water, political matters of all kinds – indigenous, racial, sexual, women/children, housing. 

Sometimes Sag just blurts out what he thinks at the time. What he thinks is so exciting to him and Sag is a fire sign, generally lucky, often impetuous. At times, truth telling needs treading lightly, skillfully. We’re not always talking with a person who wants to respond, reciprocate or likes our opinion no matter how well intended. Putting yourself in the other person’s place can’t always be done because you don’t know their story, and they don’t always want to tell it and may be pretty bristly if you invade their privacy. They just want what they want, may have lots of emotion, are not ready to share. Yet there are times when we get busted. Time to give it up. Mercury in Sag has a certain innocence. You may be intelligently forthright and tell it like it is right to their face! People are so surprised they actually listen! In that moment they get it and there is no argument. 

Saturn is finishing his last two 2021 aspects, the day after ThanksGiving and 2 days before Christmas!

Nov 26 Saturn sextiled Chiron successfully bonded and are now carrying on their work. Saturn may be unpredictable in Aquarius and Chiron in Aries is quick on his feet. Each may travel along a more or less parallel track, fruitfully checking in with each other time to time. Each like their freedom and independence. And that is what keeps them interested in the other, their new ideas. Each needs to be in a separate section, but may be collaborating toward a mutual goal. They are both interested in marriage, but the AQ-Aries part skitters away. It is more a reaction to what they are rather than any specific person. It’s more what they sense than what they are thinking about. Friendship is fine. See more

Dec 23 Saturn in Aquarius square Uranus, the planet of Aquarius, can be confusing. There is camaraderie and being at odds in the oddest ways! You what?! Saturn having been in AQ, has been trying to ride with the unpredictable creature. It’s somewhere between a bucking bronco and surfing! He’s now used to knowing he no longer knows. Life used to be so what it was. Now it is compounded by pandemic, climate and politics gone wild. Financial winds keep zig zagging! Friends and family are changing. Oddly, the planet of change, is also a genius at work, and in Taurus of stabilizing, making things more sensible and grounded. Self reliance and the most elemental feed-ourselves vegetable gardening has thrived during the pandemic. At a time when things are so up in the air (Aquarius), we are becoming more sensible, even more simple. Being at home, many have cleaned out years of debris from their lives, gotten literally lighter. They are getting work that is more in tune with their core. Might be less money, but the happiness factor brings a smile and better health. See more

4 Behenian FIXED STARS! 

Wiki says: The Behenian fixed stars, [used by alchemists,] are a selection of fifteen stars considered especially useful for magical applications in the medieval astrology of Europe and the Arab world. Their name derives from Arabic bahman, “root,” as each was considered a source of astrological power for one or more planets. Each is also connected with a gemstone and plant that would be used in rituals meant to draw the star’s influence (e.g., into a talisman). When a planet was within six degrees of an associated star, this influence was thought to be particularly strong.

Erik Roth reminds us: The Behenian stars are stars that have been shared as magical but it is really all stars and planets have their own magic and can be utilized through symbolic, psychic, spiritual and otherwise magical purposes in our lives.  The near-infinite sky dome is a part of our lives and has been since our very distant ancestors hundreds of thousands of years looked upon them and not only wondered what they were but also from a place of seeking, of finding meaning and seeing something beyond themselves. 

Alphecca, one of the 15 Behenian Stars! This star is sometimes called Gemma, the jewel of the crown. A brilliant white star, it is also called the Pearl of the Crown. It is the Alpha star of Corona Borealis, the Northern Crown, at 12 Scorpio 35 (2021) is semi sextile the New Moon! 

Alphecca marks the loop, or knot, of the ribbon along which are fastened the buds, flowers, or leaves of the wreath shown in early drawings with two long out-streaming ends. Corona Borealis represents the garland given by Venus to Ariadne on the occasion of her marriage to Bacchus after she had been forsaken by Theseus. Manilius said it ‘sparkles in the mid forehead. He was quite taken with the Crown. See his eloquent thoughts about it’s relationship with Virgo! Jamie at Astrology King says: it is of the nature of Venus and Mercury (idealistic, psychic, handsome, neat, lovable, refined, genteel, intelligent). It gives honor, dignity and poetical and artistic ability. 

With Moon: Public honor and dignity, suffers through law, partners and neighbors, trouble through underhanded dealings of enemies but eventual triumph over them, bad for love affairs, some faithful friends, greatly esteemed by Venus and Mercury people. (Robson) Honors and preferment.

With Sun: Active and brilliant mind, self-seeking, subject to scandal that does not affect the position. Honors and preferment.

Alphecca is opposite Uranus, which is inconjunct the New Moon! With Uranus Robson says: Selfish, mental affliction and violence at end of life, psychic power, suffering through occultism, deceptive, many false friends, small inheritance obtained with difficulty, losses by law, enemies and mercurial affairs, sorrow through children or an adopted child, domestic trouble through own acts, danger of a violent death. 

We have come a long way in our thinking about Uranus than when it was first discovered. Think in modern terms of the benefits of this planet and combine that with the issues Robson perceived. Uranus rules electronics and computers, networking of all kinds, humanitarian efforts, freedom, awakening, change, evolution. Alphecca’s charm and intelligence work well with so many opportunities!

Aquarian Abraham Lincoln 0°03′, J. Paul Getty 1°36′ had Alphecca with Uranus.

Fixed Stars Algorab 13 Libra – sextiles the New Moon and Mercury, Sirius 14 Cancer – is inconjunct the New Moon and Mercury! I imagine few of you have done much work with or even heard of Algorab! It is on the right wing of the Raven, in the constellation Corvus, the Crow.  If you love the intelligent Corvids this may bode well for you, if not, all the nasties you hear of them may be part of the Truth.

• In the US their rep is not so good. Astrologer Jamie Partridge summarizes: Algorab is one of the 15 magic related Behenian Fixed Stars. Its image is a raven, snake or negro dressed in black. It makes the wearer angry, bold, courageous and a backbiter, gives bad dreams, the power of summoning or driving away evil spirits and protection from winds and the malice of men and devils. – Whew! That’s impressive! If you sense those things in advance it can be a blessed forewarning.
• He also states the 28th Chinese Xiù – 軫 (Zhěn) Chariot thinks:  This is the celestial Carriage and it represents the transport of tributes from foreign lands to the Emperor, thus the accumulation of wealth. It also presides over travel of all kinds and vehicles. It also presaged favorable winds and an end to storms. Events in business bring great profit and everything done heralds fortunate returns. Paying homage to ancestors will honor one with a “Dragon Child”. It is also a great day for marriages and births. – Quite different!
• But some modern astrologers concur that it shows up in terrorism events! See the details at Astrology King, Jamie’s site! Don’t ‘terrorize’ yourself or provoke others; help others and yourself to be safe. Be aware of triggers and danger signals and leave; talk later if possible. Use your intelligence in a good way.
• The New Moon is oblique to the potent, brightest star of the night, Sirius! Sirius enjoys a terrific reputation for the most part, but also called the Dog Star, watch out for dog bites, LOL! It is another of the 15 Behenian stars. Sirius is of the nature of Jupiter and Mars (high ambition, pride, love of power, grandeur of view.) It gives honor, renown, wealth, ardor, faithfulness, devotion, passion and resentment, and makes its natives custodians, curators and guardians. It gives honor, the goodwill and favor of men and the airy spirits, and the power to pacify nobles and others. And to tease you, it rules beryl, savine, mugwort, dragonwort and the tongue of a snake. See a lot more at Astrology King! 

Many 2021 factors have had an Aquarian component, including this New Moon within a degree of the Aquarian planet Uranus! We are preparing for Pluto’s entry into Aquarius in 2023. We are more aware now that some connections need reworking, fixing, updating. Some ideas have long term implications worth working for, are financially productive, spiritually satisfying! Make notes then network like crazy to get more ideas to complete the package, select who will work together, and get it rolling! See Saturn in Aquarius Saturn is open to new areas of responsibility. Chiron in leader Aries is livening us with the latest healing and teaching ideas! Jupiter is back in Aquarius jazzing up Saturn’s prospects!

Pluto Trine Fixed Star Algol 26 Taurus 27 in 2020 – 2024

Pluto is of Scorpio, the sign opposite Algol’s sign Taurus, but Pluto now in Capricorn gentles that opposition because Pluto Capricorn trines, favors Algol. Pluto rules death and rebirth while Algol is considered to bear misfortune, often death. They understand each other. Neither is to be messed with. Capricorn is noted for facing reality squarely. 

Algol is the baddest Star according to some! It is a rare triple star and eclipsing binary, which means it blinks, and changes brightness, even ‘disappears!’ It is the Medusa’s Head, carried in the left hand of the Hero, Perseus. On the dark side, ‘It causes misfortune, violence, decapitation, hanging, electrocution and mob violence, and gives a dogged and violent nature that causes death to the native or others. It is the most evil star in the heavens.’ Some say it’s not the ‘bad’ within us but pushing through blockages to the beauty beyond is what really matters. We can face our demons with sincere intent and life changes for the better! See more!

Many give Algol a wide berth, plan carefully astrologically. To be on the safe side, Astrologers often allow 5 degrees for the effective range with Algol while most stars get only 1 degree range. If you have chart factors in that 5 degree range, one way or another you are connected with Algol. If you have questions, do see your astrologer.

Pluto is now at 25° Capricorn and moves only 3° a year. Pluto retrogrades back and forth through the degrees as it travels Capricorn. Allowing a 3 degree range, anytime Pluto is between 23 Cap 27 to 29 Cap 27, it will trine Algol at 26 Taurus 27. That period started Feb 2020 – virus time, and will go through Jan 2024. It is now continuously trine Algol. Exact trines are formed 5 times: on Spring Equinox Mar 20, & June 5, 2021, and in 2022 Jan 17, 2022, Aug 29, Nov 16.

One hopes the trine, a good aspect, bends the relationship with Algol to a more satisfactory outcome. Earth signs are a bit ‘indelible.’ Their effects are more long lasting. Keep turning the tables on Algol’s bad rep. Recent violence, covid deaths, may leave raw feelings of grief, bitterness, betrayal. Freedom is still at issue. Stay calm in the face of violence, shift your connections so better can happen, turn a page, try out some new possibilities. Know your rights and choose safety unless/even if you are trying to save someone’s life. If you are the offender, get all the help you can to change. Many a fine leader has come from a dark place.

Pluto understands much of this. Capricorn often has working answers to bring us back together in common cause. Be safe and be well. Tread gently. Get all the facts before you pass judgment. Steady in the Light.  

Algol’s connection with the Galactic Center!

Algol and the GC are in lockstep! Each being star factors, they each take 72 years to move a degree. Currently Algol is at 26 Taurus and the GC is 27 Sag. Whenever one is activated, they both are. Algol and the GC have an oblique position (inconjunct), aware, but out of the corner of your eye. That position is common in the charts of psychics. They ‘see’ peripheral factors that influence the outcome. Inconjuncts sometimes lead you on a goose chase, but maybe to greener pastures. You do get a greater perspective. Even if you go back home, you are different. You have perhaps made new friends and associates that can carry that sector for you, or be a link to that sector when you need it. Excellent adjustments are in the offing. Destination Algol would not usually be a conscious choice, but sometimes it is part of our Path and it just happens. Square your shoulders and do it, eyes wide open. Fascinating encounter.

Oh, yes, Algol strikes fear in a lot of hearts, but so does the GC when people find out it is one gigantic black hole!!! You could vanish in an instant! You astral travelers might should be careful? I like to think of Algol as the GC’s Guardian. Algol is considered to be a super powerful feminine force. It would take such an entity to protect the mighty GC! Algol is ready to stomp her feet and ‘invite’ you to travel, or takes you another place once the GC’s info has been bestowed, a place that needs the information the most.

Algol is in Taurus, the first Venus sign, has a sensual touch, loves earthy beauty, sculpts its own existence! Libra, the second Venus sign is an air sign. Venus may love perfumes and dance, more sophisticated styles. The profound Galactic Center is in fiery Sagittarius, the next sign after Scorpio. The GC is enjoying lots of laughs and adventure stories, sends rays and bolts of information we are barely capable of downloading let alone understand, and it’s not on anyone’s schedule! Though ‘compatible’ signs, Libra generally prefers a more gentile pace, more quiet conversation over tea, and formal by invitation or appointment meetings, tête-à-têtes. Libra will find themselves being pressed to use their negotiating skills – tact and diplomacy, and loosening up in spite of themselves! They don’t want to miss anything! They will be blessed with more freedom, delighted by the bucking bronco! 

Mars at 23 Scorpio is opposition Algol. The old time predictions are it is difficult to avoid accidents and severe injuries, can be an untimely ending. Scorpio is one of the ‘death’ signs, are often Hospice workers and healers, enjoy dangerous sports. Please just be a little more careful and aware of your surroundings. Be kind to yourself and others. 

Jupiter at 25 Aquarius is right in the square with Algol! Jupiter is a crazy lucky planet and can face ‘evil’ without even realizing it. Fascinating conversation, extraordinary points of view! Algol has nothing to hide, and no need to fear, so is free to share openly. Sagittarius has, at times, exceptional broadmindedness with no judgments, so doesn’t offend, yet, those two have reps as different as night and day. 

At this special time, Jupiter is about to make his final 2021 sextile, an aspect of opportunity, with the Galactic Center Dec 12! The New Moon is opening the Gateway; Mercury is right there as witness and translator. Jupiter is basking in the Light of billions of stars, in Aquarius, the sign of the heavens! I’m thinking there is some protection and a camaraderie since Algol is always in connection with the GC. The learning potential from both, their synergy, is phenomenal. Jupiter, the Sagittarian planet Centaur, has winning strong legs, a laugh that shakes the earth, and is in Aquarius, the light speed sign of the zodiac, in case there is an emergency! With an arrow over the shoulder and a flash of the tail, gone! See more about Jupiter sextile the GC!

On a fine New Moon night, things are blended, no Moonlight or shadows. There is a certain equality as the playing field is equalized. It seems more quiet, even subdued. Without the contrasts and sharp edges we are more receptive… Even if there is a breeze, there are no moving shadows… Sleep can be deeper.

This New Moon is a potent WalkAbout! Blessed be on your travels ~

Gemini/Sagittarius Full Cold MicroMoon Dec 18!

Saturday December 18, 27 Gemini/Sagittarius 29, 8:36 PM Pacific!

Full Moon Galactic Magic! Venus Retrograde the 19th, Relationship & Financial intensity!

If you were traveling in Barbados at 13° North, a Sagittarian island, on this Full Cold MicroMoon, it might be much warmer than where you live! This lovely serigraph is by famed artist Thomas McKnight, 1.1.41, a New Year Capricorn with Venus in Sagittarius, Jupiter conjunct Saturn in Taurus.

This may be the Last Lunar event, last Full Moon of 2021, but it links through 2022! We are in a 27 Degree Sequence for SIX months! 2021 Oct, Nov, Dec and 2022 Jan, Feb, and Mar start a ‘season’ of six Full Moons at 27 degrees Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo. The Full Moons at 24 to 29 degrees, will activate Algol and the Galactic Center at 26 and 27 and their Pluto connections strongly 8 times Sep 2021 to April 2022. Fixed stars Polaris – the North Star, Betelgeuse in Orion are at 28 Gemini, and Procyon 25 Cn 47, will give varying additional effects per their type of connections with those signs. Note where these factors fall in your chart, which house(s). That is the section of  your life that they activate. Check with your astrologer for further personal details.

This is a Bowl chart too, with Mars also now in Sagittarius pushing the Sun. He blusters, teases, tells them why it’s all good, of the Promised Land! He trines Chiron in Aries, Aries is Mars’ own sign! They get along and Chiron is quick, with him, instantly as needed. Time to start new projects and businesses! He is sextile Saturn in Aquarius, determined to get them there! He told them he would and he will!

The nature of the Full Moon is to span the width of the zodiac! Opposites in unity! Sagittarius Father Sun is relying on Mother Moon’s scanners out there on the perimeter, and she being in Gemini, there is quite an array to be channeled. The mood of the people, the information currently circulating, makes a potent backdrop to Sun’s planning and current choices of directions. He wants to know the directions of their thinking and the maps to back it up! Mother Moon will indicate where the blockages are, where intervention and rerouting would make sense. Where things are smooth, the flows can be joined for more powerful results. Similar channels can merge their efforts to advantage. 

Mother Moon is potently in the Bowl’s lead position! Jupiter, Sag’s planet, sextiled the phenomenal Galactic Center Dec 12; Sun is in annual conjunction the Galactic Center on the 18th just before the Full Moon! With his Heart of Light he is refreshing our memories of the Dec 12 sextile, putting new Light on our intent and progress. With Sun bursting with fresh divine plans, optimism, maximum hopefulness, plus Mother Moon’s intuition, there will be a leap! She will be spreading the news just as fast as she can. Use blogs, newsletters. Place the information with people who will spread the word soonest to their people too! Contact your best most progressive friends. Nothing like fresh food for the Soul! Significant good news changes our molecules, updates our DNA! Make sure your circuits are clear and able to carry the load! Be ready to take action.

Jupiter, so recently sextile the GC, still excited, most fortunately sextiles Sun and trines Mama Moon! Sextiles and trines are astrology’s best aspects. Jupiter is the good luck, have fun, planet of faith and hope, truth and future planner! Thinks big, plays bigger! Travels just as far as it can get! Sun in Sagittarius, Jupiter’s sign, is already packed! Moon in Gemini can get bored, so buzzes happily at the idea of getting into a new neighborhood and meeting the new kinfolk, visiting brethren. This is the time for businesses and nonprofits to plan a big campaign. This is not a time to sit and wait! If you work your options, it will be a Full Moon to remember! 

During this time of Galactic contact, Venus conjuncted Pluto Dec 11th, the day before Jupiter sextiled the Galactic Center! She was set deep with Pluto in Capricorn to receive all she could. Pluto is charismatic compared to Venus’s beauty. He is a treasure hunter of significant people, deep relationships, fortunes. He saves people, like Drs Without Borders. Capricorn is historical chronicles, the Guardian of the Elder Councils, military, the Father of the Tribe, has responsibilities to his career, apprentices and family. Venus’s retrograde station is Dec 8 to 27. 19 days she holds the 24 to 26 degree position which includes the conjunction with Pluto. Venus retrogrades the 19th, the day after the Full Moon! She conjuncts Pluto the second time Christmas day, bringing back her perceptions of Dec 11. She sees how we have done, lived up to the possibilities. Venus was close with Pluto at the New Moon and is now just past Pluto at the Full Moon about to make her second conjunction with him. Some of the Christmas seating arrangements will be changed…

At the New Moon Venus sits semisextile between Sun and Jupiter, much a part of their Galactic connections. She witnesses their excitement, the values of historical worth being transmitted, the beauty and awesome possibilities of times to come, the future history we will make to leave for others after us. Venus, in her deep relationship with Pluto, will see the profound effects this will have on our financial relationships, our motives, sharing, the power of meaningful lifetime commitments. She knows it is better if some are broken, left behind, to allow changes that will multiply our success as humans by many fold. Clearly, for some it will be difficult times of transition, but worth it for the Soul’s progress. We will be cleaner, be able to give so much more than we could have known. Wishing you strength and to be steady in the Light. Clean up.

Venus isn’t done yet. See the Double Retrograde! She makes the last conjunction with Pluto March 3, two days after her retrograde cycle is done. Venus, Mars, Pluto are potently all at the same degree, 27 Capricorn! 

Mercury is also in Capricorn, so is documenting the happenings. They are happening more quickly than expected because of the Galactic connections, and because Mercury is square Chiron in Aries, fast surprises, quick imperative demands backed by the old master’s play! He wants change and wants it now! Also, Mercury trines Uranus in Taurus, Uranus the lightning planet. Who would have expected such sudden changes in Taurus? But the planet is changing right in front of our eyes and people are seeing the need for change asap! Mercury has speed of his own, and Capricorn is known for persistent action, facing reality, wanting an workable long lasting solution that ultimately saves time and money. Mercury is Gemini’s planet, so there is an accord with Mother Moon. She will help get the stories out, call on the troops.

Two days before Christmas, Dec 23, Saturn in Aquarius finalizes his 2021 squares with Uranus, the planet of Aquarius. It can be confusing. There is camaraderie and being at odds in the oddest ways! You what?! Saturn having been in AQ, has been trying to ride with the unpredictable creature. It’s somewhere between a bucking bronco and surfing! He’s now used to knowing he no longer knows. Life used to be so what it was. Now it is compounded by pandemic, climate and politics gone wild. Financial winds keep zig zagging! Friends and family are changing. Oddly, the planet of change is also a genius at work, and in Taurus of stabilizing, making things more sensible and grounded. Self reliance and the most elemental feed-ourselves vegetable gardening has thrived during the pandemic. At a time when things are so up in the air (Aquarius), we are becoming more sensible, even more simple. Being at home, many have cleaned out years of debris from their lives, gotten literally lighter. They are getting work that is more in tune with their core. Might be less money, but the happiness factor brings a smile and better health. Time for breakthroughs! See more 

Neptune in Pisces stands alone but he might lend a rainbow of inspiration! Jupiter will be re-entering Pisces again on Dec 28, and Neptune is waiting for their reunion! They have a super special aspect April 12, so have a lot to do in preparation for this once in 166 years celebration! See more about and the Astrology Chart of the 166 year Conjunction!

Pluto, Algol, Galactic Center! Pluto 25 Capricorn is trine fixed star Algol 26 Taurus 10. Galactic Center 27 Sagittarius is lock step with Algol. See all about them above in the New Moon, Fixed Stars section. The Full Moon axis is at 27 Gemini/Sagittarius 29, fully connected with them all, but most powerfully with the Galactic Center! 

Be strong and honorable in your purpose, blessed in your progress!

2021 Holiday Retrograde Venus + Jan Venus/Mercury Double RX!

Said by AQuarian Ronald Reagan. Moon Taurus, Jupiter Scorpio, strong Capricorn, Sagittarius rising. 

Feb 18 Note! Mercury finishes his entire 3-part cycle Feb 23. Venus finishes hers March 1. The entire double rx will be done very soon now.

For your Holiday purchasing and Christmas and New Year plans, know that Venus in Capricorn is retrograde Dec 19 to Jan 29! What you want will change, your travel plans will be mixed up or rerouted, people you usually depend on aren’t available. The gift they have been begging for they don’t want anymore and you can’t find the one they do. Your love life shifts. Your job changes, maybe not so good, maybe better, but either way a stepping stone to the future! It’s a crazy time to move yet perhaps a necessity, but be ready for it not to be a permanent situation. If possible, wait to do major spending. Wait or stall on making ‘permanent’ changes.

Venus’s retrograde cycle starts late 2021, Nov 17, covers 11 to 26 Capricorn! She is retrograde Dec 19 to Jan 29, over Christmas and New Year! Her entire retrograde cycle finishes March 1.

Venus  almost makes it into Aquarius, but turns back at 26 degrees. She is in Capricorn with Mercury and Pluto; Sun joins them the 21st, Winter Solstice, making the 4 planet Capricorn stellium of New Year! Together they are minding Capricorn matters. Venus has special things she wants to achieve, earns hard won success, maintains the momentum. Sun lights up the progress, shows the expertise and excellence, bestows awards! Mercury tells the story, shares the news of successes, sets up meetings for 2022 developments, updates the blog. Pluto looks for further funding, rolls it over and expands the projects into a greater range, links with related backers with  mutual purpose. This can be done for business intentions, planetary remediation, personal growth and spiritual enlightenment. Rx digging around in this fertile Earthy Capricorn soil can bring several revelations! It’s merely a template! You can apply it for multiple purposes that are right for you!

Capricorn Mercury starts his retrograde cycle December 29 2021. He previews, advances into Aquarius Jan 2, 2022 through Jan 25. Mercury retrogrades Jan 14 to Feb 3. He returns to reorganize Capricorn Jan 25. Mercury directs, turns forward in Capricorn Feb 3 and finishes the entire 3 part cycle Feb 23!

French, oft quoted, Mademoiselle Cocò Chanel born 8.19.1883 is famous for creating timeless perfumes like the iconic Chanel #5, and popularizing the little black dress and skirt suit, that didn’t require a corset! In my opinion, she had a Capricorn Ascendant, the sign of design, architects and builders!

This is the first of three 2 sign Mercury retrogrades in 2022. This one spans Capricorn – Aquarius. Next is the May/June Taurus – Gemini. Last is the September/October Virgo – Libra. All are bridging to their next sign. There will be overlaps of events and processes involving both signs. The first sign is the foundation for the next sign. In a retrograde, the second sign is previewed. Information and experiences, new ideas of the second sign will be taken back to uplevel the first sign, integrate, coordinate, regroup. When Mercury returns to the second sign he has more solid backup from the first sign, now refreshed and on board with the new potentials the second sign offers! Crossing the bridge between them is now more fluid. Each knows more about what to expect, trust is being built. Difference is an asset! Each is strengthened and the second sign is bolder knowing he has someone who understands him backing him!

When I say cycle, I mean they start into the degrees they will cover that they will go back over when retrograde. The third part of the cycle is when they go forward over the same degrees the third time. Many course changes will be made, skills improved, equipment updated, relationships will be let go or improved as new goals and priorities become apparent. Time will be saved when all is said and done. Production increases for less cost. Capricorn is generally particularly conscientious, and will see the advantages of more sustainable techniques.

2022 starts with this thoughtful Venus/Mercury DOUBLE RETROGRADE Jan 14 – 29! 

Mercury’s 10° Aquarius retrograde Jan 14 2022 is in neighboring sign Aquarius, while Venus is already retrograde at 15 Capricorn. DOUBLE RETROGRADE! The bridge between these neighboring signs is being updated, in the making. From Jan 14 they make a 15 day Double Retrograde until Venus turns direct/forward Jan 29!

Mercury enters Capricorn Jan 25, so they both are in Capricorn the last 4 days. Venus in Capricorn loves to do meaningful work. They can be blessed with a specialty and win respect for their dedication. Retrograde questions their motives, may bring upgrades that take a bit of work to incorporate. People, especially women, may find their work pleasing, more potent, artistic touches making the difference. This may be added to the line as a standard offering. Clients and workers may be sorted, business becomes more streamlined. Many gifts may be shared, blessings assuring a wonderful 2022!

Jan 25 Mercury returns to late Capricorn while Venus has been in early Capricorn preparing the way. Venus is now in her station, just about to turn direct, really focused on improving the attractiveness right where she is. She is the first one people meet while traversing this territory, and she knows her stuff. She shows them the value possible, how blessed and easy it can be. when they get to his area, Mercury chats them up and answers their questions expanding their range of applications!

Venus is things we own and relationships we have. In Capricorn it is the relationships we have with things we own and worked hard for. That can be our relationships, our careers, age and wisdom, what we have built and all the skills that takes. Venus adds a touch of beauty, grace, affection, class, appreciation. Venus adds the touch that makes it all worthwhile. Mechanics and duty are not enough without the love that goes with it. Do what you love and gift others with the opportunity to do it with you. Sharing and kindness are the blessings so honored by and inspirational to your community.

Mercury in Capricorn, thinking may take on a serious tone, want not just entertaining chatter but for what is talked about to get done efficiently and professionally. Getting the information on time and sales made. One’s role as boss, parent, father, responsible worker is called for. It might be a good time to check out the latest models, tools/gear, opportunities, take a refresher course, update your thinking. Capricorn is super clever at renovation, remediation! Take care of mental matters – shame, grief, fear, depression or of what you perceive as disabilities. Rethink your thinking! Get practical help from experts who have earned their rep.

Mercury in Aquarius can be a little nervous, highly wired! But oh how we delight in our own friends, social media, the worldwide networks we build, the electronics that are so much a part of us these days. We are proud to build a better world – quality living space for all, jobs that contribute to community, make unique beauty that holds our spirits high. Our achievements that set us free from mediocrity, boredom, are elegant pointers to our creative virtues and futures. Being different yet in sync, is a standard that is becoming more part of our human fabric. An environment friendly to change, exploration, research, are allowing united efforts that succeed more fully.

Mercury in Aquarius ‘sees’ way beyond the boundaries…

Mercury, the mind, is considered ‘exalted’ in genius Aquarius! Expect some extraordinary comprehension at light speed, and for it to come and go just as quickly, replaced by an even more remarkable solution! Believe me, stay tuned. This is not even a time to blink or you will miss it! Remember that each perception is a stepping stone to the next, even if you don’t understand it. Your Soul saw it and it is recorded. It will be called on to be used even if you don’t remember consciously!

Multi Dimensional! The collective, the Universe, is a big place, and all our memories of shared experiences are threads to the shared experiences of all those that were with us, link upon link. When they say we are ONE, that is literally true! Aquarius is the body of that collective consciousness. It’s a gigantic memory tank. That’s part of why friends can be so exciting for them. It’s much more than 10 friends having a party! Symbolically some amazing solutions have been known since time began. These threads of ours go back genetically through our ancestors, back in time as well as across the current worldwide laterals! In fact, they can go into the future as well since people have seen them in God encounters, the dreamtime or in belief experiences. What goes on in our minds is so much more than what we are aware of. Open up the gates!

As a result of Mercury’s time in Aquarius, and access to this super consciousness, in the double retrograde, Mercury in Aquarius is brilliant! It will be excited with new ideas, in the process of testing them out by laying them in front of more experts for their opinions! New friendships and associates will come, and some will go as quickly as they came, more or less visitors with a piece of information you needed! Venus may put Capricorn in a more social mode more likely to take a look, be less concerned with Mercury’s unusual demeanor or quickness. Ask for a repeat, a rephrasing. Tell them you want to understand and not miss the importance! Some technical research may be inspired, inventions discovered! Stay steady, keep moving forward!

The end of the Double Retrograde Jan 29 starts a potent 3 day FIVE planet Stellium in Capricorn – Moon, Mars, Venus, Mercury, Pluto! Venus has already stirred desires for achievement, revised designs to make work more timely, productive and valuable.

REPEATED ASPECTS!

Three planets, Neptune, Pluto and Chiron, are aspected in all 3 phases of both Venus and Mercury’s retrograde cycles.

Venus sextiles Neptune. This is a gifted combination of caring, yearning. This is a Soul Mate, sweet dream, spiritual Love combination. It can be someone who believes and innocently trusts. It can be a chance in a million worth checking out. There could be a lot of forgiveness and learning. The sad choices can be a musician/addict/artist that needs your support. It can be a lifetime high price – suffering in fear of losing that person, giving until the money is all gone, you lose your health – all because you love so much. If your connection is healthy, then the beauty is beyond words. Music of all kinds is possible. Films, theater, in Capricorn and Pisces, business documentaries or for organizations that want to save the world, the oceans, the animals, lost children, those suffering in institutions. In combination with the conjunction with Pluto, enormous funding could be acquired. Dreams and visions may come true!

Venus conjuncts Pluto! That can be really, really bad or stupendously marvelous or both at once! You could make a ton of money, or marry the money holder and love him/her too! Capricorn is forthright and it’s likely there would be a knowing understanding on both partners’ parts, maybe a prenup. Either could scam the other, sweet lies or just greedy lies and seduction. You lose your shirt. There could be the mixed blessing of an inheritance – you lose the person but gain the money, and it may be a sizable fortune or a working operation that continues making money. Self indulgence could make mistakes with what money you have, and as in some retrogrades, it doesn’t come back, never to be seen again. Be super cautious about iffy deals or even ones you can’t imagine could go wrong. Waiting might be the best choice. Probably not a time to elope. If your potential lover/partner is genuine and a strong person, trusts you, waiting will be ok with that person. Otherwise, reconsider your choice? On the high side, there could be a deep loving bond blessed with, um, great sex!

The third conjunction is technically after the complete cycle ends March 1. It occurs March 3 when Venus, Mars and Pluto are all at the 27th degree of Capricorn! I figure that gathering is formidably impressive and a fine group to indicate a culmination and new beginning all at once! It has the experience of both Venus and Mercury’s retrogrades under its belt and is loaded for bear! Venus will give them her sweet smile – enough to light all the local candles; Mars will passionately push forward – he’s her hero! Pluto is witness, will hold it strong, even in the night, and keep the fire going even after they are gone! A mark will be made. Have your own ceremony and symbolically make your own mark! You will be witness too!

Mercury conjuncts Pluto too!!! So Pluto is the pivot, conjunctions the most potent aspect of all! Mercury with Pluto is more like seeing your therapist, looking into causes, talking over your options, finding deeper emotional strength, facing your demons. Mercury is concerned with financial options and Pluto may be the broker that wants you to sign the papers. If you and your broker have a long term relationship and your broker has helped you successfully through thick and thin, then give it a go, but due to the retrograde, no more than you can afford to lose, just in case this is one of the time that don’t work. Somebody else’s broker’s astrology chart may not work for you at all. This may be a time to sort through a troubled partnership. Mercury and Pluto in Capricorn are serious. They want it to work and work well. There may be long term practical matters to discuss that may be about elder parents, parenting choices, financial choices that go along with that. It’s not a time for infidelity. Capricorn is sometimes unforgiving for a few lifetimes, and Pluto may make you know the consequences this lifetime. Keep your slate clean. If you are on your own, there may be a deep bond formed that will never be broken.

Mercury sextiles Chiron, the other shamanic planet besides Pluto! Both the healers are deeply oriented.

Pluto roots out decay and rotten aspects of ourselves, both psychological and physical! It isn’t always pleasant work. But then what healing is? Things have gotten so bad sometimes it takes fire to fight fire and that’s where Pluto’s kundalini, the fire at the base of the spine, comes in. Do we let your fire go out or do we frighten the trouble off and cauterize the weak point?! Lots of questions and answers all along the line there…

When Mercury is in Aquarius, he is sextile with Chiron a more thoughtful Master who wants you to take over your own healing as he did. He’s more with herbs and daily applications, but you must stay steady. Right now he’s in Aries, and right along with the pandemic he’s working quickly for our best collective health. Aries rules needles and vaccines. He’s pushing for significant research in a timely fashion. Mercury in Aquarius will get news out as quickly as possible. A breakthrough may be made. Mercury in Aquarius has the option to become global. Chiron is thought to be an excellent business person and so is Capricorn that Mercury has been in! Aries pushes for new faster techniques, is on the vanguard. The world needs new ways to deal with climate as well as the pandemic. Chiron is considered to be a marriage planet and Mercury signs the papers. But. Aquarius and Aries are sometimes not at all interested in giving up their freedom, and not unhappy to get it back! That’s not to say it can’t be done, but usually a unique arrangement will be needed specific to your relationship. Best.
 
TWO FIXED STARS at two Stations, 24 and 26 Capricorn! Stations are potent positions when retrograde planets appear to be ‘standing still’ for a number of days.  

Dec 19 Venus at 26 Capricorn is at one of those ‘standing still’ points, turning retrograde. She will be opposite Behenian Fixed Star Procyon at 25 Cancer 47. This star is of the Little Dog, arrives in the night sky before Sirius in Canis Major. Procyon gives activity, violence, sudden and violent malevolence, sudden preferment by exertion, elevation ending in disaster, danger of dog bites and hydrophobia, and makes its natives petulant, saucy, giddy, weak-natured, timid, unfortunate, proud, easily angered, careless and violent. Challenges. Considered to have the nature of Mercury and Mars it is exaggerative, argumentative, unreliable, unscrupulous, given to invective, mechanical ability, very quick mind, a great talker. It does have some talents! Here we go: As a Behenian star, it gives the favor of the gods, spirits and men, power against witchcraft, and preserves the health. Venus with Procyon: Many benefits from influential friends, associated with the Church, favorable for gain. In opposition, it may take a little negotiation to get these benefits and gains.

Mercury’s Feb 3rd 24 degree Retrograde 8 day Station is opposite Procyon 25°47′ Cancer. Specifically with Mercury, it is said it gives ‘Occult interest, minor position of management under Government, trouble and scandal through opposite sex, favorable for health and gain.’ Yes, an opposition requires some work to make it good for you. Jamie has a lot more fascinating things to say about it! Worth the read.

ALGOL is the baddest Star of all according to some! It is a rare triple star and eclipsing binary, which means it blinks, and changes brightness, even ‘disappears!’ It is the Medusa’s Head, carried in the left hand of the Hero, Perseus. On the dark side, ‘It causes misfortune, violence, decapitation, hanging, electrocution and mob violence, and gives a dogged and violent nature that causes death to the native or others. It is the most evil star in the heavens.’ Some say it’s not the ‘bad’ within us but pushing through blockages to the beauty beyond is what really matters. We can face our demons with sincere intent and life changes for the better! Algol was also one of the 15 Behenian Fixed Stars, used in medieval times in magic rituals. See more!

Pluto is of Scorpio, the sign opposite Algol’s sign Taurus, but Pluto now in Capricorn gentles that opposition because Pluto trines, favors Algol. Pluto rules death and rebirth while Algol is considered to bear misfortune, often death. They understand each other. Neither is to be messed with. Capricorn is noted for facing reality squarely. During these retrogrades Pluto traverses 24 to 27 Capricorn. Anytime Pluto is between 23 Cap 27 to 29 Cap 27, it will trine Algol at 26 Taurus 27. That period started Feb 2020 – virus time, and will go through Jan 2024. It is now continuously trine Algol. Exact trines are formed 5 times: on Spring Equinox Mar 20, & June 5, 2021, and in 2022 Jan 17, 2022 the Full Wolf Moon, Aug 29, Nov 16.

Algol and the Galactic Center are in lockstep! Each being star factors, they each take 72 years to move a degree. Currently Algol is at 26 Taurus and the GC is 27 Sag 08 (2021). Whenever one is activated, they both are. Algol and the GC have an oblique position (inconjunct), aware, but out of the corner of your eye. That position is common in the charts of psychics. They see peripheral factors that influence the outcome. Inconjuncts sometimes lead you on a goose chase, but maybe to greener pastures. You do get a greater perspective. Even if you go back home, you are different. You have perhaps made new friends and associates that can carry that sector for you, or be a link to that sector when you need it. Excellent adjustments are in the offing. Destination Algol would not usually be a conscious choice, but sometimes it is part of our Path and it just happens. Square your shoulders and do it, eyes wide open. Fascinating encounter.

The Galactic Center is in fiery Sagittarius, enjoying lots of laughs and adventure stories, is not on anyone’s schedule! Paul O. Hewit writes: “it is probably the second strongest spot in any astrology chart, following the Sun. It is a stunning source of energy, motivation, and aspiration. The Galactic Center is the Sun of our Sun. It is the source of most of the gravitational energy present in our galaxy, and probably the source of most of the energy in any chart, transformed through our own Sun.” [Some say the GC IS the strongest factor in our charts!]

ALGOL is also at the same two stations! First is Venus’s Dec 19 retrograde station at 26 Capricorn, like Pluto, also trine Algol! Pluto is fascinated by the deepest relationships and experiences we have, especially the life and death types. Pluto types, Scorpio are gifted Hospice healers. They can be sex workers for people who have been traumatized. Capricorn understands the necessities of life and all its stages. Venus loves the sociality of relationships, the gracious bonds that can be formed with all kinds of people and beings. In Capricorn she often delays judgment, looks for the finest offerings and talents each person has. She queries their knowledge, learns from their seasoned observations, generations of wisdom. She may surprise Algol by her generosity. Venus has a broad experience through art, knows of the Medusa’s phenomenal appearance, is not put off by it. There are more important considerations in this rare encounter. She has a genuine admiration for those who live their difficulties no matter what they may be.

Second, Algol is witnessing Capricorn Mercury’s Feb 3rd 24° Retrograde 8 day Station! As Pluto does, Mercury most favorably trines Algol! Since powerful Pluto has been traveling with Algol for some time, certain channels have likely been opened or made curious. Mercury is an expert communicator, knows when to tread lightly, can run pretty quickly if needed. Venus has just visited and perhaps softened the pain, opened some more doors. Gorgon Medusa may find it easier to hear Mercury now. Sensible Capricorn Mercury, poised in Station, and Algol may have an unprecedented chat! Who knows? Maybe dangerous Algol has longed for someone to hear her story. Maybe you will sit down with your ‘monster’ within and talk it over. See your therapist? Write of remarkable saves!

Factors in your Birth chart within 5 degrees of your natal Galactic Center position will be activated by this profound point your whole life.

Venus and Mercury’s connections with Procyon, Algol and the Galactic Center, and Pluto are especially important because starting with Libra’s 2021 Full Moon, our Full Moons will be in a 27 Degree Sequence for SIX months in SIX different signs! 2021 Oct, Nov, Dec and 2022 Jan, Feb, and Mar start a ‘season’ of six Full Moons at 27 degrees Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo. Fixed stars Polaris – the North Star, Betelgeuse in Orion are at 28 Gemini, and Procyon 25 Cancer 47 will give varying additional effects per their type of connections with those signs. Those of you with chart factors 26 to 29 will be engaged.

The Venus Cycle ends March 1. The next day is the Pisces New Moon. March 3 Venus, Mars, Pluto are all at 27° degrees Capricorn, the very degrees involved with the fixed stars Algol and Procyon, the Galactic Center, their connections with Pluto and the six months sequence with the 27° Full Moons! Venus conjuncts Pluto! What an intense ending and new beginning!!! Venus wants what she wants and is more than delighted Mars is working hard at her side, fighting for it too! Pluto takes care of behind the scenes financing and getting the CEOs organized, curing and doing shamanic healing! Profound and powerful!

And this is just the beginning!!! In 2022 with all three inner planets, Mercury, Venus and Mars, there is a strong resonance with SIX stations, including retrograde and direct, repeatedly formed at 24, 25 and 26 degrees. All those factors above are maintained in development. If you have chart factors at those degrees they will have Mercury and Venus 8 day stations activating them from Capricorn, Taurus and Virgo, the three Earth signs, and from Mars in Gemini!

ALL ABOUT RETROGRADES! Some of you are old hands. Others have never heard of Retrograde before. New lingo: Retrograde, Direct, Station and more… 

Retrogrades are fascinatingly complex! The wild dynamics of retrograde cycles are, as viewed from Earth, it happens when a faster planet passes a slower planet. Mercury is faster than Earth, while Earth is slower than Mars. The planet appears to go forward, backward, then forward over the same ground three times, and if outer planets sometime five times in two years! Of course that doesn’t happen in reality. It is visual because of the perspective from Earth. During that time, all the other planets are moving too, so even when a retrograde planet is going ‘backward’ over the same area, they are ALL going forward, even the retrograde planet! It’s ‘illogical,’ but that’s what happens.

Venus retrogrades about every 19 months for only about 40 days. Only 7–8% of the population has it in their natal chart. Mercury retrogrades 3 times a year, once every 6 years it’s 4 times that year. Mercury actually spends little time retrograde. Mars retrogrades every 25/26 months for 60-80 days.

Retrogrades in the sky are passing periods. Retrogrades in a birth chart are life long, a living entity. As a place that is reprocessed over and over, fantastic skills are developed per planet and sign, along with the other chart factors that may be linked to it. Many top world businesses have many retrogrades in their charts! They have super expertise and it is still growing with the times! Retrogrades keep us mindful and present. In humans about 25% of the population has Mercury Retrograde, and that includes celebrities, LOL!  Fun read: 5 Fascinating Facts About Being Born During Mercury Retrograde

The type of special communication skills of Mercury retrograde depend on which sign, house and planets Mercury connects with in your chart and what type of connections are made. Check out the planets of your own chart, your besties, and track the charts of babies born during retrogrades! Take advantage of these retrograde linkages, learn how to make transitions well for optimum results. Not a time to be nervous and hold back. Stay aboard! Like on a ship at sea, get your sea legs! Flex with the flow. It may seem like a mess, but the magic will happen. Guaranteed!

We hear about Mercury Retrograde the most because it retrogrades 3 to 4 times a year, 3 to 4 weeks a time.

Mercury is the planet of the Mind, thinking, our attention, our breath and lungs, how we learn to learn, communication skills, gathering data, paperwork, signing contracts, a hand shake, the laying on of hands. All of these are essential.

Mercury is heady, there is little that isn’t interesting and little escapes its attention. Gemini is Mercury’s first sign, and Earthy Virgo is Mercury’s other sign that focuses on details, looks for perfection, expertly organizes and applies the data Gemini secures, is semi grounded! Both are known to be ultra busy! Gemini listens fast, often replies while you are still speaking! Virgo writes the book, organizes the finances, won’t go home, just has one more detail to finesse, worries about her and your health. They are quite different, you see.

Mercury Rx is don’t sign those papers about issues of the sign(s) Mercury is retrograde in! Or, do everything to make it possible so it doesn’t fall through. Escrows can fall through. Use experienced brokers who can get it done no matter what. People don’t return your calls. The dog ate it. Your computer has a snit. Or you do, LOL! You lose your cell. You get lost, turned around. Rule is be sure purchases are from reputable firms that have reliable returns/guarantees/warranties. Be sure the company is legitimate before you deal. Date and sign any contract changes and make sure they do too. Get/make copies, save and backup. Generally, you avoid making significant purchases/decisions especially of matters specific to the sign/s involved. If possible, don’t move or change or start jobs until you wait 4 days after Mercury turns Direct/forward.

The house/s where Mercury falls in your chart while it is retrograde is the area of your life that will be specially affected. Briefly: If it is in your 4th, it is home and family matters. If in your 2nd or 8th, financial adjustments will be made. 6th can be work environment, skills, coworkers, your health regime. 5/7/8 houses can be important relationships. 3/9 is educational, class requirements may shift. 9 is long term plans, travels. 10 may be career, 11 career associations/associates, friendships. 12 may be your spiritual beliefs, perceptions. So for example, if in your 10th, be cautious about signing professional documents. If in your 4th, you may opt to wait to buy the new refrigerator – a better deal or fridge may come along. In the 1st or 3rd you might wait to purchase a new vehicle. In 2 or 7, wait for the facelift. If you need help with this, see your astrologer!

Inner planet – Mercury, Venus, Mars – retrogrades have three phase cycles. Sometimes outer planets have five and take 3 years! Sun and Moon have none. Astrologers use different names for the 3 phases. Basically they are:

1. Covering the initial ground, degrees that the retrograde will go back over when the planet ‘turns’ retrograde.
2. Retrograde covers the same degrees as Phase 1, only in the reverse direction, so your perspective takes a 180 shift while other planets continue on in their own patterns, many of them moving forward. While retrograde the planet checks on previous actions, improving on, updating choices made as it goes back.
3. The planet turns ‘forward,’ and goes over the same degrees a third time, adds finishing touches, makes experienced final adjustments before it moves on.

Stations bring special emphasis! A Station is when a planet literally appears to stand still in the sky at the retrograde and direct, forward turning points. Stations help us slow down. A Mercury station holds consciousness at a certain point for 8 days. They are a pause when we are able to be still to receive, focus, take time to think, steep in our thinking. We make things the best we can, anchor important ideas we want to keep. The longer the station the more its strength. Mercury sometimes likes to think things over, draw as much from a valuable experience as possible, or get to know a special person more deeply. More often, it is likely to go crazy waiting for more things to happen and wants to be the first to deliver the news! They may need to rest at the station because a lot has been changing. It can be a relief to take a breather from the rigors of speeding here and there so they don’t miss a morsel!

Planets at different speeds hold station different lengths of time. Mercury stations are about 8 days – four days before and four days after the turns. Prepare for retrogrades as best you can before the Retrograde Station starts! When Mercury turns forward, wait for the Direct Station to finish before turning yourself loose to go ahead.

Every Retrograde is unique by sign, aspects, and where it happens in your chart! As time goes on the planetary backdrop changes. Context shifts. Retrogrades, like any other astro phenomena, evolve. Each planet has its own matters. The sign(s) it is in while in retrograde, are how those matters are applied, what matters are processed.

For example: We were talking about purging, letting things go. During this time it will be specific to Venus in Capricorn. It will either be another stage or an addition to something already going on in your personal chart. Also, the degrees of this retrograde have to be in connection with your personal chart or it will have little to no effect. Venus is things of love, beauty, possessions, money, how you care for your body, and your relationships with others and to those things in your life! Capricorn is traditional items/values – identity, fathers, profession and its relationships, aging, retirement, responsibilities. Not only is it things, but how we feel about them, the unseen aspect of retrogrades! Capricorn often has to do with old things, renovation, or things we have had a long time that have deep meaningful memories and sentimental value. Can be subtle and harder to release, like old habits, indulgences or deprivation, now letting ourselves have things we never had but always wanted. There can be a turning away from things we are done with that we never thought we would change about, yet here it happens…old rigid ideas are simply abandoned.

Sometimes retrogrades cross Portals, where sign changes happen! As they go forward, retrograde, then recross forward, we learn how to make that particular crossing. Gradually we see how those two signs are linked, work together, support each other. We see the contribution of each sign, how they each are part of the Zodiacal Great Circle. Be mindful of your own talent, offer it. Be mindful of what others have to offer, be grateful. You may not like them, but we can’t do without their part of the divine tapestry, the Light they hold at that crossroads.

What a journey! When you are traveling, what amazing beauty lies around each new bend. Different directions, different views. Maybe what’s behind is out of sight, a memory; what’s ahead is a mystery! Inward turns, like retrograde, give us time to pause, hold steady, slow down. Outward bends like turning forward/Direct, extend our vision of potentials. Each turn, that Station, gives us time to think, recalibrate, prepare for the next stretch. It’s important that there are changes, reversals, old ideas that clogged things up are left behind, revelations have room to occur, new ideas are teased into action! Potential is remembered and we are rededicated.

Clearly life doesn’t stop during retrogrades, and not all people’s charts are connected to all retrogrades. If your chart is connected to any given one, you will need to do your best and what you can. You can’t explain this astrological stuff to all people, maybe not your boss or even a good friend. Astrology? You’re nuts! Ok, so there are times to find ways to stall or not connect, delay. You can estimate the possibilities of others not bringing certain papers to the meeting and bring them yourself, save the day! You can ask for a review of the current decisions 4 days or more after Mercury goes Direct/forward. If there are important must do meetings, Dr and Veterinarian appts, call in advance to verify that the date and right time are on their calendars AND yours! Verify that part you ordered IS ordered, being sent to the correct address, the expected arrival date! Know that it might be late. Keep track of keys, wallets/purses, phones.

Document your work and events daily, save ALL emails and backup safely off the premises. No giving your passwords or copies of keys to anyone. If all goes well, fine. If not, all the pertinent information you need is available.

If you have other favorable prevailing aspects, especially with outer planets, it is likely changes will ultimately be to your benefit. Do check with your astrologer for your good dates and times of day to make the best of it! And pray their chart isn’t affected by the retrograde, LOL!

With a transiting Retrograde, if you have factors in your chart at or very close to those degrees, especially at the station degrees, you will be activated. Check in with your astrologer if you have significant plans at those times. Plan ahead for what you want to get done, as much as possible, well before those times, and line up what you can do during those times!

This DOUBLE RETROGRADE set emphasizes Capricorn, the work of your life, and Aquarius, your friends and the people you work with!

Be blessed and the best to you! Keep the kinks in your links well oiled!

Happy Scorpio! A Magical Halloween/Samhain to you!

Scorpio 2021-22 Celestial HighLights, Timeline, Overview!

Scorpio. There have always been Masks

This is a fine 2019 Venice Italy Carnival mask. Brazil has its Rio de Janeiro Carnival. The US has the New Orleans Mardi Gras.

There have always been masks, and the meaningfulness they reveal. Scorpio is the sign of masks, hidden identities, secrets and mysteries, the great mysteries of life and death. It’s subjects are often private – you with your therapist, your lover(s), your monies, your health matters, death. Shamans need to shield the patient, show him the face that heals. Our face is our constant mask. Its stresses, its magical revelatory expressions. A Scorpio’s complete lack of expression, indicates when you guessed right, whether your Scorpio is protecting someone or something, may be afraid or they simply don’t want to be pestered, are playing poker, LOL! There are times to just leave them respectfully and advisably alone. Scorpios hate showing weakness. It’s in our genes from long ago when a slight movement, a twitch, could have meant the price of our life.

Survival! Humans with dirty faces were first. The dirt camouflage was their mask. They were hunters blending in so not to be scented or seen and eaten by larger predators. Scorpios can be just about invisible with their ninja ways – silent, perfectly still, gliding in perfect harmony with their surroundings through the night. Night is their natural element. You will often see them wearing black and a dark maroon.

The Natural World  Male animals, insects, birds brighten in breeding season, a ‘mask’ of attraction. Face painting and masks give an air of mystery and speak to the inner Soul of the wearer, his/her secret wantings, alter ego, what’s on his mind. The dancer’s adornments highlight his prowess and skills as a hunter. 

Identity  Tribes formed distinguished by their face markings, and within each tribe face markings indicated the nature of the event – coming of age, baby births, marriage, battle, death. How we need to be treated is indicated by our shamanic covers, that show our purpose to our brethren. Our markings show you the gifts we have to share.

Celebration  In old time, ancient days, Pagan earth seasons were celebrated with wreaths, eye coverings, branches cleverly bound for dancing. They prayed for the Sun to return, for seeds to grow, fertility, in thanks for crops, safety for loved ones, to ward off evil. Knowing the earthly seasons in your area are critical to food production.

Every continent has its history of masks!

AfterLife  Egyptians had masks, headpieces and body markings, tattoos. ‘Funerary masks were frequently used to cover the face of the deceased. Generally their purpose was to represent the features of the deceased, both to honour them and to establish a relationship through the mask with the spirit world. Sometimes they were used to force the spirit of the newly dead to depart for the spirit world. Masks were also made to protect the deceased by frightening away malevolent spirits.’ Though worn by the dead, they signified the future of the Soul. The prized gold mask of Egyptian Pharaoh Tutankhamun is an incredible example – not just a mask, but art.  

Chinese Masks  The origin of Chinese masks is in shamanic rituals of the old. They were used for exorcisms and during the funeral rituals. Masks developed during the time and entered other parts of life and culture and today they have many uses from births to funerals. They are used in dance performances, during celebrations, there are masks for newborns, masks made for protection against evil and theatrical masks. During ceremonies that are held as welcome celebrations of gods and spirits, groups of people wear “Sorcerer’s masks”. These masks are also used in rituals that are held as prayers for better tomorrow and during funerary rites to help a soul rest peacefully. These masks originate from totemic worshiping of Yunnan and Guizhou. Chinese New Year many masks are worn but the most famous and important of them is mask of the dragon,  symbol of fortune and prosperity.

South America  Many masks are worn by the many tribes for all occasions. They have special masks depicting animals, their relationships with the animals they live so closely with and depend on. 

The mask at left is ‘some kind of wild animal indigenous to southern Colombia or Venezuela (maybe an owl monkey or skunk). The particular Amazon Indian tribe who dance this style of mask for religious purposes are called the Piaroa-Huarime. It is made of a fiber frame covered with bark cloth and then white clay and black-stained bee’s wax. Masks like this are made for tribal ceremonies and [today] for sale to tourists.’ The owner says it was a hat/mask.

Compare this humble mask with the exquisite Venice Carnival glitz and glamor above! 

Australia  Aboriginal magical shamanic masks were their earliest. 

European  Royalty enjoyed masquerades! Centuries later Europeans wore elaborate costumes, detailed masks and hair pieces, painted their faces white! Elaborate wigs were worn by lawyers and judges.

Today  Face Makeup is a most acceptable face marking, ‘mask.’ We still use it like the animals to attract mates, disguise ourselves, indicate a better future like the Egyptians! A woman can be mysterious without her makeup, may not be recognized by people she knows well. A famous woman can be practically incognito! With a change in hair color, style and demeanor, she has an identity shift!

Medical  Doctors and Nurses have worn masks during time with patients since we came to know of the tiny dangerous predators we can’t even see! The very latest is wearing stylish pandemic masks. Some are enjoying their pandemic Halloween masks as we speak! 

Halloween, Scorpio’s holiday!  Not only do we have Halloween pandemic masks, but Halloween, celebrated annually on October 31, is one of the world’s oldest holidays, could be called World Mask Day, LOL! It’s derived from ancient festivals and religious rituals, still widely celebrated today in a number of countries around the globe! The spiritual guides say the ‘veils’ are thin, we have access to the spirits of the dead. Mexico celebrates it as the Day of the Dead. We give thanks and celebrate for them in our lives, ask their advices and encouragement, pray their afterlife is well.

With deep Gratitude and Generous Blessings to you and your Ancestors.

Scorpio Overview, Your Year to Come…

She’s Got Real Talent, is a known name in 40 countries across the globe! See her in action! The queen of drum solo,  Wisconsin’s Sadie Marquardt performing at the Bellydance gala showcase organised by Payal’s Dance Academy, Mumbai, November 2019. The comments are insightful and inspiring ~ Sadie is an Oct 30, 1977 Scorpio born in Sheboygan WI.

Maybe you will travel to exotic places, take up belly dancing! Angola, Morocco, Queensland, Korea, Syria, Norway, the Transvaal, Bavaria, Antigua, Barbuda, Cambodia, Dominica, Latvia, Lebanon, Micronesia, Panama, Turkey, Turkmenistan, and Zambia are all Scorpio countries! Cities are Cincinnati, Liverpool, Newcastle, Washington DC, Vienna, Baltimore, and New Orleans (Mardi Gras and masks!). If you can’t travel there, connect online, go to the local group meeting of immigrants from one of those places, support people in need in those areas. Experience another part of planetary culture.

Scorpio and Capricorn, compared to most signs, take devilry and hardship in stride. They are used to facing their demons squarely. Scorpio doesn’t even blink at times. Both can hold a straight face, good poker players. Capricorn often goes with strategy while Scorpio is watching both the front and back doors at once. Pluto, Scorpio’s planet, has been in Capricorn many years now, to go into Aquarius March 23, 2023. Scorpio and Capricorn have been living this combination through Pluto. Pluto has been looking for the darkest failures within us, at times suffering in his self imposed search, but he knows how vital it is to clear the Path so others can proceed. It hasn’t been easy and he has paid a price. Few could walk this Path, but the children born in that time, and their parents, understand. It takes a strong Soul, a Kokopelli that can dance with fire and Death, and laugh like crazy the whole time! 

In these pandemic years, Pluto ended many Capricorn careers, lives of elders. Pluto has brought a wave of cross party caring since the illness takes no side. Pluto/Scorpio’s shamanic healing has been called on for multitudes of people in all kinds of status, poverty to wealth, including depression due to fear and losses, from drought, fire, flood and the virus, loss of connections with friends. We have been finding new ways to connect and we are being more ‘real’ with each other, speaking more plainly, more from the heart. So many kindnesses are being given, shared with people who might not have even spoken with each other before. We are living in challenging, provocative and profound times. Live deep, stand tall, love well.  

Many 2020 and 2022 charts are Bowls, rare Bundles, and Buckets and seesaws! They are a concentrated force! The Feb 11 2021 SIX planet air sign Aquarius New Moon stellium Bundle Chart was a super example! All the planets were in a potent 113 degrees, less than a third of the wheel! See more about Bowls and Bundles If a singular planet or a pair or cluster of very close planets venture beyond these formations, a Bucket Chart is formed, emphasis on these ‘handle’ planets. If several planets loosely spaced move opposite the base group, a Seesaw Chart is formed, planetary oppositions common, balance sought. In these times when the slow moving outer planets are closely together, the base group is steady. The Bundles and Bowls alternate with the Buckets and Seesaws as ‘inner’ planets, Sun, Moon, Mercury and Venus, sometimes Mars, proceed on their own out of the base group during the year. In her 27 day cycle, Moon jumps out ahead every month. Sun is on the other side 5 to 6 months of the year.

2021 has been and still is a super special AQUARIAN TIME! The February 11 SIX planets stellium Aquarian New Moon may have inaugurated a 2nd wave of the ‘Dawning of the Age of Aquarius!’ 59 Years ago in Feb 1962, the New Moon Eclipse chart had seven Aquarian planets and lasted longer. Saturn and Jupiter are in Aquarius, made the Great Conjunction Solstice Dec 21 2020! 2015 to 2024 Uranus, the planet of Aquarius, has been and is the lead outer planet. 2021 has had numerous outer planet aspects in Aquarius and ones formed to Aquarius’s planet Uranus, plus, Jupiter sextiles the Galactic Center three times, last on Dec 12! These prepare us for Pluto entering Aquarius March 2023, Pluto on a 248 year cycle! 

Mind you, the Ages are long, roughly every 2,150 years. Even 100 years would be a reasonable time frame for a transition from one to another. I think we could easily include 1962 and 2020/21 events and Pluto’s sign change into Aquarius in 2023 as part of the process. Pluto takes 248 years to circuit the zodiac. FYI the ages are reversed through the signs due to the Precession of Equinoxes. The previous age was Pisces, so we are now backing into the last degrees of Aquarius.

Going back to recent planetary action, Saturn and Jupiter made the leap for freedom, went into Aquarius Dec 16 and 19, made the GREAT CONJUNCTION Winter Solstice Dec 21, 2020! As one journey ends another begins. Pluto is in its final years of being in Capricorn. Pluto holds the power of life and death, represents the Phoenix that rises from its own ashes. In our lives that can be represented by poverty, bankruptcy, turned to wealth and powerful relationships. Capricorn is the mountain goat that rises to the heights, has staying power in extreme conditions, oversees, makes the laws, is the most efficient of all the signs, a survivor due to his own talents.

To make this Capricorn facet more potent, Saturn, Capricorn’s planet, and Jupiter were with Pluto as his support team! The difficult part was the Jan 12 2020 Saturn conjunct Pluto that probably brought the Virus, and Jupiter, a traveler, that had a role in transmitting it from China to other places. Yet, Pluto will continue to make impressive progress these last years even though Saturn and Jupiter have left him, now are in Aquarius. He may do even better because they have changed signs, leading him, wanting collaboration with the people to cure and heal, prevent more illness – and not just the virus, but working other matters as well, climate, politics. Since Pluto will be going into Aquarius March 2023, their work now is critical, paving the way for him. 

Following the Jupiter in Pisces preview from May 13 to July 28, 2021 Jupiter back in Aquarius continues to bring exceptional opportunities, especially for Aquarians through Dec 28! The sign lucky Jupiter is in, is the sign that succeeds and prospers! Saturn’s previous entry into Aquarius virtually shut down the airlines; Jupiter has revived them given certain conditions! Airlines, electronics, communications, organizations for sustainable change will flourish at new levels. Many patents will be filed, robotics, flying cars included. Jupiter in Aquarius! 

Adventurous Jupiter loves unstable ground, relishes making all the quick clever adjustments! Both Jupiter and Aquarius live for freedom! Since Saturn previewed Aquarius Mar 21 to July 1 2020, he is experienced and can handle the boisterous Jupiter Aquarius frolicking. He already knows there are lucky genius ideas afoot sometimes disguised as if there are no cares in the world! He sees it is that very freedom that makes them possible! He is able to tap the connections, make astute changes quickly, grab them while they are available ~ any moment Jupiter could run off to anywhere! The changes can enhance his business immeasurably! Jupiter’s current sign is where the good fortune is! Be ready to shift certain investments, adjust projects to include new, additional goals, especially those oriented to humanistic and planetary wellbeing. Aquarius will be delighted because as a researcher/thinker he doesn’t always get out to play, and Jupiter plays big. Jupiter even ups the amps on Aquarius’s own far thinking, and that is a rare thing to happen! Isn’t life grand?! Saturn may find himself on safari with Jupiter, or gone on the wind taking the computers to the surf zone when the surf’s up, whichever continent that may be on! Working from ‘home’ takes on new meaning! Really! Can be done!

Jupiter in Aquarius is like lightning! Things happen quickly. This is one of those periods when time itself seems speeded up! Jupiter in AQ knows the importance of immediate networking planet wide and how short a year’s window can be. Saturn has already been laying the groundwork. The possible collaboration of this team can have outstanding results much sooner than expected. 

Jupiter sped through Aquarius in record time, entered PISCES May 13 2021! It gave us a very brief preview, retrograded at 2 Pisces June 20! Magic happens! Jupiter travels the world, while Pisces travels the Spirit! Jupiter is a fiery planet so it may take a little getting used to Neptune’s Pisces damp waters. Yet, Jupiter loves speed sports, surfing, sailing, jet skiing, anywhere, the bigger the waves the better! Just be careful of tsunamis and floods! Jupiter philosophizes, tries to be just, to plan the best big future. Pisces talks with God, is psychic to the furthest realms, compassion his ruler. Jupiter may be harshly opinionated and Pisces can be an unable lost addict. Jupiter can be unkind; Pisces can be in denial, beyond caring. The other side of Jupiter is generous, can give hope, teach others to have faith beyond measure. He can help Pisces face the truth, Pisces knows he is lovingly regarded no matter what. Against the odds, recovery can happen. This can be one person in his own struggle or you working your piece for the world. Pisces gives Jupiter a dream, a vision of what can be, how miraculous recovery can be, what enormous strength and courage it takes. Even Jupiter is humbled…and grateful.

As Jupiter in Aquarius is super lucky for Aquarians, it is out of this world in Pisces for Pisceans! Jupiter cheers them up, expands their already magical dimensions, gives them further faith and awareness, heals their spirits from addictions and fears. Major tours are possible and successful dreams come true! It’s time to push the river a bit while the Gateway is open!

Jupiter returns to Aquarius July 28 until Dec 28 when he re-enters Pisces to stay. The Aquarian and Piscean talents will be commingled! The Path between them becomes a usable channel. Hopefully groups of crusaders will learn how to work together in current times, accomplish great deeds. Knowledge for all through the internet will keep us immediately informed, focused on task, adjusting priorities quickly! Jupiter traverses only part of one more sign, ARIES, the first sign of the zodiac! When Pluto enters Aquarius Jupiter will be at 17° Aries in a FIVE planet Aries stellium! Aries is the Action sign! That’s what I call a new beginning! 

Starting with the sign changes, in 2021 there are 13 aspects formed in Aquarius and Aquarius’s planet Uranus will be aspected 5 times! The first 4 of those 5 will be challenges, finding the existing weaknesses/blockages, remedying what needs adjusting, getting a flow going. The last one will be a positive aspect, an exciting finale of all those aspects, Feb 17, 2022 when Jupiter in Pisces sextiles Uranus, the AQ planet! 2021 alone will host 16 Aquarian type aspects! Then we wait, let things mingle, brew, progress, prepare, until Pluto makes that stupendous sign change into Aquarius Mar 23, 2023! We need Aquarius to be strong, in working order, integrated and grounded among ourselves, in our communities, internationally. 

We need to strengthen our Aquarian young people, our future leaders, and all Aquarians! Pluto is tough on the sign it is in and at the same time empowers them! Growing pains take strength. Take time to listen, cheer them on. Admire their broad scope, how they get teams going, their care for humanity and our planet, their inventions and science. Help them know how to carry on even when they are not appreciated or understood. They are so intelligent, ahead of their time, that not everyone will understand their work, yet the work needs doing.

The preparation for Pluto entering Aquarius will take steady and dedicated work, staying focused. Everything about how groups and friendships work, the importance and techniques of research, how change is brought about successfully, are the goals. The foundation needs to be set. It will be explored, tested and trialed by Saturn and Jupiter being in Aquarius. 

Pluto in Aquarius will bring a new time. Pluto is Scorpio’s planet and Pluto/Aquarius are not exactly ‘compatible.’ Pluto has a ton of charisma, yet is as much private as Aquarius can’t help but bring attention by his simple presence. AQ is exotic, super intelligent, often revels in neon colors, odd/unique looks and attire, has electric static. He can get attention for being THE archetypal loner, or the brilliant head of a world humanitarian organization. Pluto is going to have some adjusting to do. He may be concerned for loss of privacy, be a bit jealous too. At the very worst, there could be power struggles for world rule, including genocide. Or they will do fundraising like never seen before! Pluto may gather the world’s top wealthy humanitarians and make governments of countries look small in comparison. Since these groups will have no governmental constraints, they may bring the world together when governments couldn’t. By comparison, the financially unsupported United Nations may become passé, or it’s possible its structure already in place may be revitalized! Comprehensive large scale inventor/researcher work could do very well to sustain and amplify their efforts. See more

Pluto will be in Aquarius 21 years, until January 2044! All the upcoming Aquarian flavored aspects will give us a head start. We’ll do Pluto in Aquarius better! Pluto was last in Aquarius 248 years ago, 1777 to 1799, a 22 year period of worldwide uproar and change – American revolution, the French revolution, the Industrial revolution in England. And it won’t be any different this time! Guarantee! So get your friends and alliances/networks in working order, stand up, get used to acting progressively, and be ready to roll! Some will mightily resist; others will persist with new ideas. Change will beget change. Take a peek at what Patrick Watson has to say on Pluto per sign historically. Check out what Lynn Hayes has to say about what Dylan Love has to say on transhumanism. 

Since that last 248 years ago we now have bombs, climate change, electronic communication, robotics, and a helluva a lot more people on the planet. Water and weather wars are possible. Actually, water wars are already starting – pollution prevention, Detroit, Standing Rock. We need to reassess our mandates for leadership – age and both physical and mental health. There are going to be some bumps. Some say, after the kinks are worked out, there will be a ‘Golden Age!’ Make it so. …or would that be really boring, LOL?! Evolution never quits.

Young people born around 2003 will be about 20 in March 2023 and from 20 until they are 41, will live this period. Their lives will be about this world changing time. Help them now. Prepare them to be strong and steady leaders then. Strengthen everything Aquarius in your life.

2021 Jupiter and Saturn activate Chiron and Uranus. 

Jupiter initiated connections with Chiron and Uranus. They were just once each, Jan 11 Jupiter in AQ sextile Chiron, Jan 17 square AQ’s planet Uranus. Jupiter is first considering purpose, plans, perspective. Saturn carries these planetary connections to Chiron and Uranus throughout 2021. Feb 9 Saturn in AQ started the sextile Chiron in Aries series, then Feb 17 squared AQ’s planet Uranus in Taurus the first time! Saturn will make these aspects three times each. If Jupiter hit the nail on the head, Saturn will anchor it to build on further. Chiron the healer/teacher in Aries, the Leader, is called on first to guide the way. Then Uranus is challenged. Friendships and alliances will shift due to new needs. It will be a time of weeding the weak, not fully capable or dedicated. At first there may be a seeming standstill as decisions are made, but the situation is brewing just the same. Initially there can be some false starts, mistakes, trial and error needed in this new territory, but things will get sorted out. We’re working with new materials, new energies, new parameters with the virus, new people, new locations, and everyone is adjusting. Saturn makes the last square to Uranus Dec 23, 2021.

► The most exciting aspect of 2021 is Jupiter sextile the Galactic Center three times! Earth Day April 22, Aug 20 and Dec 12 – Twelve Twelve! Jupiter will consult with the gods and goddesses of the heavens! The GC is the center of our Galaxy, the Milky Way. Jupiter, the far traveler, has no problem with such a journey, especially while in Aquarius, the very sign of the heavens, stars and flight! Jupiter is associated with Sagittarius, the home of the GC! Perfect combination, and how apropos to the Aquarian emphasis at this time! Jupiter will be our emissary, a generally broad minded planet with a huge perspective, a gift to discover possibilities of the future! The GC will not fail to transmit, infuse, present magnificent infinite consciousness stirring insights and instruction. We have three chances to take it in, grow with it. The Galactic Center is at 27 Sagittarius 09. If you have factors in your chart that match up within 5 degrees of that 27th degree, you will be called. Unlike with fixed stars, only 1 degree usually allowed, the Galactic Center is HUGE! If you are involved with meditation, circles, consciousness raising groups, if ever there was a time to tune in, it is NOW!

Paul O. Hewit writes: “it is probably the second strongest spot in any astrology chart, following the Sun. It is a stunning source of energy, motivation, and aspiration. The Galactic Center is the Sun of our Sun. It is the source of most of the gravitational energy present in our galaxy, and probably the source of most of the energy in any chart, transformed through our own Sun.” [Some say the GC IS the strongest factor in our charts!] It moves only a degree every 72 years, so you can easily get the degree it was when you were born. Have your astrologer calculate its exact position for you.

 

 

Portals are all around us. Some are temporary, some are always there. Some are annual like the August 8 Lion’s Gate. No two are alike, take us different places. Some are one way, others are two way but perhaps only at certain intervals – you have to be there or… Some lifetimes there are none, others have several passages. And there are the portals into and out of life.

 

2022’s Three Aspects, planetary portals, the only 2022 Aspects and they only happen once each!

All three of 2022’s aspects are done by May 3, in just over 4 months! All will be formed while Jupiter is in Pisces. The rest of the year will be putting our discoveries into practice, improving, holding and maintaining good ground gained. Jupiter in Pisces and Aries will show us the endings and dreams of Pisces as the last sign of the Zodiac, and the beginnings Aries will work for. It will be good to rest and relax, then stretch our physical and spiritual muscles and take action! 

Feb 17 Jupiter in Pisces sextile Uranus in Taurus Once

This is the last of the Aquarius/Uranus aspects that prevailed from Dec 2020, throughout 2021! Time for celebration and pledges to the future!

Two fast planets in differently tempoed signs Pisces and Taurus. Jupiter loves races and often has the long legs to win! Uranus is the genius with the greased lightning mind! Pisces has an adjustable speed potential, like a fast swimmer, the speedboat or yacht race, but is also the meditator like the Buddha that sat by the road for years…enjoys the silence at the ashram, or the roar of a rock concert! Lots of dimensional ability. Taurus has no intention of rushing about. He has his own steady pace, enjoys sitting peaceably. He’s not lured into undignified behavior.

Jupiter and Uranus’s works are cut out for them. They will speed up the others. They also learn that sitters and plodders are getting quite a bit done with a lot less external energy being shown. They just do it. Pisces finds the shortest route and uses psychic ability to do it. Smooth. Taurus is sensible and doesn’t worry. He sits with it and the plan forms with his patience. It’s uncanny. They both come up with solutions that are off the books. They think for themselves. At times the fast planets lose themselves in the fray, burnout, and have to stop, come to their senses, recenter, restart where it all went awry. Sometimes needs require a faster tempo. At those times let the speedy planets guide you. They do have our well being in mind and often make ‘accidental’ discoveries! Pass the baton back and forth!

► April 12 166 Year Event! Jupiter conjunct Neptune in his own sign Pisces Once! The Promise of 2022! 

Jupiter Conjunct Neptune reads the same as Jupiter in Pisces only more so! Pisces is Neptune’s sign and Neptune is currently IN Pisces, his own sign! Jupiter right there with Neptune most certainly ups the amps very specifically! Jupiter with Neptune comes by only every 13 years, but when Neptune is potently in Pisces, Neptune’s own sign, only every 166 years! The last time Jupiter was with Neptune in Pisces was May 17 1856! Freud, George Bernard Shaw, Tesla and Woodrow Wilson, all Chinese year of the Dragon, were born in 1856.

This is the big event while Jupiter is in Pisces and of 2022! In fact, this is a rather special conjunction. Robert P. Blaschke says ‘2009 has also brought the alignment of Jupiter and Neptune in the sign of Aquarius. [2022 it’s in Pisces, the next sign.] Conjunctions of these two planets take place at 13-year intervals and every thirteenth conjunction recurs at nearly the same Zodiacal position. Neptune’s sidereal cycle averages 165 years and the Jupiter-Neptune conjunctions divide the Neptune cycle into 13 sub-periods (13 x 13 = 169).’ 

Blaschke further writes, ‘As Neptune moves from one sign to the next, eleven out of twelve times it meets Jupiter only once while transiting a sign. Dane Rudhyar and Alexander Ruperti both wrote that the Jupiter-Neptune conjunction is the high-point of Neptune’s stay in any given sign.‘ See more about what Blaschke writes

Neptune, Pisces, work with spiritual matters, soul saving, dire conditions of suffering. It might be symbolically saving children in sweat shops, cruel conditions for inmates or mental patients, needed health reforms. Jupiter is the ethical planet that wants justice and has no fear of legal necessities, may be the Judge. Knowing this in advance gives us all a heads up that we are coming to a prime time to work in behalf of merciful repairs. Take courage. If you can’t do it yourself, find and fund a proven champion to work in your behalf. Please.  

Alexander Ruperti says ‘The number 13 refers to the Christ principle and as such is the symbol of the power to overcome death and limitations on all planes … Therefore, in essence, the Jupiter-Neptune cycle gives mankind a basic rhythm of and describes its urge toward transcendence.’ 13 is considered by some to represent a Gateway of the Soul. See more about this 166 year event!

In our daily affairs, Jupiter may exaggerate with no hope for reason, LOL! Pisces is perfectly happy with this, his magical side is cheering him on, it’s an exciting yarn! Pisces has dreams and Jupiter sees no reason why they can’t come true! The two of them can be utterly mischievous together! Jupiter can sometimes get all ethical and abhors addictions that disable. At first he may make things worse with his judgments, or he looks for ways to help his mates stand clean again, to be strong for their futures, to make the world a better place. Your intuition may surge to overwhelming dimensions, you have never had visions like this before! Thank goodness the conjunction is between the Sun and Saturn in good aspect. Sun Lights the way and Saturn will help anchor the events and build what’s needed.   

Make special plans to be somewhere significant to you at that time of the Promise of 2022!

May 3 Jupiter in Pisces sextile Pluto in Capricorn Once

The one with the answers walks among us. Some are invisible, some seem ordinary, others really are simply easily sneaky. This can be a super wealth aspect, it just comes upon us though Pisces doesn’t always care about money at all. It can be a cure for old age ailments. Just do what you love and profound healings occur or you simply self equalize your system by forgetting you were ill! Time for dreams to become true through laws ala the Right of Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. An obscure place or peoples, maybe an indigenous group, become especially important. An extinct animal may reappear or come from frozen wastelands. Maybe you will find the work of your soul! There are many extreme, extremely valuable possibilities that could come with this combination. Pay attention; look below the surface… Be careful not to put your hands or feet where you can’t see… Being lost may be the invitation to a new life. Get the keys to the locks and cross the threshold…or just bully through! They really won’t be surprised to receive you, LOL! The Threshold, Portal, is a sacred place. Don’t miss it.

2022 Sign Changes

The only planet changing signs is Jupiter. He previewed Pisces briefly from May 13 to July 28 2021. He returns to Pisces December 28, 2021. In 2022 Jupiter speeds completely through Pisces into Aries in only 5 months, on May 10, after his sextile with Pluto, the last 2022 outer planet to planet aspect! Late 2022 Jupiter retrogrades back into Pisces Oct 27 to Dec 20, a last chance affair, then its onward in Aries, the sign of new beginnings, no going back! The next day is Winter Solstice, the belly of winter. From there are the seeds of new beginnings, the ‘return of the Light!’ See more Jupiter in Pisces

It’s one thing to make your vows in Pisces, another to take action in Aries! Pisces is what you believe in. Some say ‘Do not ask God to guide your footsteps if you are not willing to move your feet.’ The last sign, Pisces carries the Dream of all the signs. Aries is the first sign of the zodiac, the first responders. Initiation means more than taking a title. It means doing your vows. Aries are brave leaders, risk takers, rights fighters. They often have to make instant decisions to save lives. They are fiery Spirits that operate on instant instinct. Consulting is one of their best talents. Listen keenly. Ask your questions right now while they are there with you. They will be gone to the next fire quickly. Staying physically fit is essential and can be totally enjoyable. Prowess feels super! Independence is strong. Ride your bike!

Jupiter is looking for purpose with integrity! It takes a core truth and educates as many as will listen to why it is meaningful and worthy. Jupiter has a bold and confident way, expands, embellishes, emphasizes, gives extra! It’s edifying, LOL! Jupiter likes to play and tell whopper stories, have a great big dog and ride the winning horse! In Aries a lot of ground will be traveled, and quickly too! Speed is a delight. Records will be broken! Skating, surfing, skiing! Wow!   

The Galactic Center, Algol and Pluto!

All three of these are dark characters! The GC is a gigantic black hole! Algol has a dark reputation, ie beheadings, when your lights go out. Pluto is the furthest planet from the Sun, the darkest and frozen to boot!

Fixed star ALGOL and the GC are in lockstep! Each being star factors, they each take 72 years to move a degree. Currently Algol is at 26 Taurus and the GC is 27 Sag. Whenever one is activated, so is the other. Algol and the GC have an oblique off center position (inconjunct), aware, but out of the corner of your eye. That position is common in the charts of psychics. They ‘see’ peripheral factors that influence the outcome. Inconjuncts sometimes lead you on a goose chase, but maybe to greener pastures. You do get a greater perspective. Even if you go back home, you are different. You have perhaps made new friends and associates that can carry that sector for you. Excellent adjustments are in the offing. Destination Algol would not usually be a conscious choice, but sometimes it is part of our Path and it just happens. Square your shoulders and do it, eyes wide open. Fascinating encounter.

Algol is the baddest Star according to some! It is a rare triple star and eclipsing binary, which means it blinks, and changes brightness, even ‘disappears!’ It is the Medusa’s Head, carried in the left hand of the Hero, Perseus. On the dark side, ‘It causes misfortune, violence, decapitation, hanging, electrocution and mob violence, and gives a dogged and violent nature that causes death to the native or others. It is the most evil star in the heavens.’ Some say it’s not the ‘bad’ within us but pushing through blockages to the beauty beyond is what really matters. We can face our demons with sincere intent and life changes for the better! See more!  See more about the spiritual side…

Algol’s bad rep, strikes fear in a lot of hearts, but so does the Galactic Center when people find out it is one gigantic black hole!!! You could vanish in an instant! You astral travelers might should be careful? I like to think of Algol as the GC’s Guardian. Algol is considered to be a super powerful feminine force. It would take such an entity to protect the mighty GC! Their off center relationship may take you on the road less followed, so to speak. There is a draw to explore. Algol is ready to stomp her feet and ‘invite’ you to travel, or takes you another place once the GC’s info has been bestowed, a place that needs the information the most. 

Many give Algol a wide berth, plan carefully astrologically. To be on the safe side, Astrologers often allow 5 degrees for the effective range with Algol while most stars get only 1 degree range. If in neighboring signs, only 3 or less degrees might be used. If you have chart factors in that 5 degree range, one way or another you are connected with Algol. If you have questions, do see your astrologer.

Pluto is now at 24 Capricorn and moves only 3° a year. Pluto retrogrades back and forth through the degrees as it travels Capricorn. Anytime it is between 23 Cap 27 to 29 Cap 27, it will trine Algol. That period started Feb 2020, virus time, and will go through Jan 2024. It is now continuously trine Algol. Exact trines are formed 5 times: on Spring Equinox Mar 20, & June 5, 2021, and in 2022 Jan 17, 2022, Aug 29, Nov 16. 

Pluto has been having the Algol experience, and is one of the few who can stand up under this trial. Very luckily, the trine is the most favorable angle, so though not unscathed, he survives. Both Pluto and Algol are respected and incur life and death situations. One hopes the trine bends the relationship with Algol to a more satisfactory outcome. Earth signs, like Capricorn, especially being the last Earth sign, are a bit ‘indelible.’ Their effects are more long lasting. Keep turning the tables on Algol’s bad rep. Stay calm in the face of violence, even your own anger. Shift your connections so better can happen. Know your rights and choose safety unless/even if you are trying to save someone’s life. If you are the offender, get all the help you can to change. Many a fine leader has come from a dark place.

Scorpio New SuperMoon! 

Thursday November 4, 12 Scorpio 40, New SuperMoon at 2:15 PM Pacific!

Note subtle changes, tune in to many channels, seek lifesaving connections!

NIGHT CLUB Westcliffe/Silver Cliff in Colorado is an officially designated International Dark-Sky Community. Wondrous photo by Mike Pach. The Wall Street Journal title is The New Pandemic Hobby: Gazing at the Stars. Scorpio loves sharing the Night.

2021 Nov, Dec and 2022 Jan 2 and 31, and Mar there are five New Moons at 12 degrees in Scorpio, Sag, Cap AQ and Pisces. Those of you with chart factors close to 12 degrees will be activated by 7 New Moons from Oct 2021 to March 2022. Jan and March 2022 will have two New Moons in Pacific time zone. There is NO New Moon in February 2022. Set a goal and approach it progressively from every angle, every sign!

Bowl charts usually have more continuity of planetary connections closely held, but not this one. The New Moon is exactly opposite Uranus, planet of sudden changes in a fixed sign that doesn’t commonly like being disturbed! This chart has important aspects that have already happened, Mercury and Venus change signs before making their sextile in Scorpio and Capricorn the 6th, Venus sextiles Mars by, at this point, what is called an ‘out-of-sign aspect, signs that are not easily compatible. Since Venus is slowing to retrograde Dec 19, the promise of their connection doesn’t happen. Feisty Mars, in Scorpio with the New Moon is square, challenging old man Saturn, there are no active major aspects to Pluto, Jupiter or Neptune. Even the only classic settling aspect, Saturn sextile Chiron, is to Chiron in Aries, new beginnings, no standing still! To further emphasize that, Saturn squares, challenges Uranus the planet of change and awakenings, which brings us right back to the New Moon exactly opposite Uranus, the chart’s lead planet!

Uranus is the planet of freedom, evolution, the futurist. It works as an ultimate loner or in behalf of humanity, networking across the continents. Genius, research, invention are it’s talents. Awakening and Enlightenment are its invitations. On a bad day Scorpio says bah, humbug if he says anything at all. On a good day Scorpio is more than intrigued! He could become obsessed with the possibilities both as an individual and as an investor! The potential is enormous! There are days when Scorpio Mama Moon and Papa Sun speed along on their fine motorcycles and love the air breezing by. They see the Uranus in Taurus Earth all around them, feels their connection with the totality of the whole climate. They agree about what differences may be required to heal, maintain and secure what is so precious. Friendships may come and go, but we hope Earth as we know it now is with us lifelong and for our children’s children too.

Scorpio has a similarity to Uranus. Scorpio also wants the freedom to be himself, untampered with. He wants privacy and needs time alone. But they differ other ways. When in relationship, Scorpio wants the deepest intimacy, for life, with meaningful sex, but will do without if not possible. Jealousies, possessiveness are his undoings and the love of his life may leave him. Some say they are too intense, obsessive. Scorpio does shamanic healing from psyche to body, finances too. His own recovery rate from life threatening injuries is phenomenal! They understand taboos, can standby with deathing. Scorpio is a deep thinker, an invincible martial arts spiritual warrior that will give his life to save yours. Or if there is cruelty, he may feel justified in taking yours depending on circumstances. Scorpios powerfully relate with the underworld both for bad and good. They survive on their wits in the most dangerous situations – SEALs, special ops, marines, medics, policemen. Their totems are reptiles – the snake, don’t tread on me, the Eagle, bird of prey that flies higher consciousness. Halloween, Day of the Dead, is their time of connection with the wisdom of the Ancestors.

Mercury in Libra is the base planet of the Bowl chart, the one pushing the chart forward. His intent is to negotiate, collaborate, mediate, bring us to a working agreement. Many items on the table these days have extreme and passionate differences. Vaccines, climate/water, political matters of all kinds – indigenous, racial, sexual, women/children, housing. It’s not so easy to advise warrior Mars in Scorpio, the next planet he meets. Treading lightly, very skillfully, is a prime skill. We’re not always talking with a person who wants to respond, reciprocate. Putting yourself in the other person’s place can’t always be done because you don’t know their story, and they don’t always want to tell it and may be pretty bristly. Balance, being fair, may not be what they want either. They just want what they want. Lots of emotion. Libra is himself not always able to decide what he believes or wants. That’s ok. Person in progress. Yet, with Mercury close to Mars, you may find yourself in an unusual temper. You may be intelligently forthright and tell it like it is right to their face! People are so surprised they actually listen! In that moment they get it and there is no argument.

In some ways this is a ‘loose’ chart. New Moon is same degree opposite the Aquarian planet Uranus by 7 Minutes of space! In addition Saturn and Jupiter are both in Aquarius! Aspects that have already happened are free to move forward now. The New Moon is past their squares, difficulties, blocks with Saturn’s expectations. They didn’t like his friends or him either. Maybe they worked out their issues, maybe they didn’t and there are probably lingering mistrusts. Saturn might have thought he could cloud the issues by overwhelming them with big ideas, masses of research data. Hard to fool Scorpio though. If you try, it’s insulting and he knows that too. However, Saturn may have updated a lot of his thinking now that he is in Aquarius, so may have offered shocking ideas that brought you to your feet! Moon, generally more flexible than Sun, may have saved the day and accepted, at least a trial!

Mars is still square Saturn! Saturn has wiry experience on his side. He has dealt with young upstarts before. But it is a new Moon and he may listen this time, intrigued by the Scorpio savvy and persistence, financial insights. Times are indeed changing. Sometimes it takes a force like Mars in Scorpio to pierce the Saturn stone wall, and it isn’t always possible. But Saturn in Aquarius may have some air space between some crevices and the oxygen lets Mars start the fire! Scorpio loves molten lava and witches brews that shapeshifters sometimes depend on! Escape is possible! It may be a tight passage, but the discoveries and possibilities last more than a lifetime! Saturn has wisdom worth acquiring! Aquarius may be hard to pin down, but Mars in Scorpio is supremely quick and often invisible. He can just sit unmovingly nearby and absorb the many revelations. Saturn may be smarter than he looks. Mars may be caught, mesmerized by the Aquarian net of humanity and its resonant consciousness. Mars may have started with intent for himself and find himself working a supreme challenge, for the greater good of all. Scorpio knows how to bond champions together and gather the support of untold wealth in behalf of the new cause! On a very personal note, if your chart factors are connected with these degrees, say 2 to 9, there may be a dry spell in the sex department, or you may make a breakthrough of some kind you can hardly believe!

Mercury was square Pluto, a bitter taste, perhaps attempted blackmail. Usually Mercury in Libra is socially gracious, but if you are in court, there might be a strength and consequences you didn’t expect. If things go your way there could be an astounding breakthrough from long held beliefs. Collective change and the tides of time have shown the advantages of new ways. 

Though not in major aspects, Jupiter sits in a semi-sextile midpoint between Pluto and Neptune. He’s always the big thinker, ahead of his time in Aquarius. Pluto feels him nearby, how could you not, and is both strong in late Capricorn, but ready to batten down the hatches if he feels like it might be a takeover. Pluto is always curious, even in Capricorn that says don’t bother me, I’m busy! He could cause his own demise and get swept off his feet and to his chagrin have a great time. The old ways are lost, just like that, at that come hither snap of Jupiter’s fingers! They have outrageous conversations, Pluto revealing things he hasn’t even said to himself before! Extraordinary options may crisscross their dialogues. Quite heady, and possibly some outstanding results emerge!

Recently Jupiter was just dancing at Neptune’s wild party. Neptune, infinite knowledge, is fascinated with all beings from all galaxies and Jupiter in Aquarius, the sign of space, was one of the most entrancing! Profound exchanges can be made in all guises. It may have been the most fun any of them had in a long time! Spiritual crusades may have been planned involving psychics to Spock logic! Costumes were worth it, videos taken. 

The Pluto side was more privacy, secrets and responsibilities, serious commitments, uh, or cheating. The Neptune side is more wide open dreamtime, but 100% dedication of your life in spite of what the outer garments might make you think.

Saturn sextile Chiron is the only upcoming outer planet aspect, a potentially successful bonding aspect. Saturn may be unpredictable in Aquarius and Chiron in Aries is quick on his feet. Each may travel along a more or less parallel track, fruitfully checking in with each other time to time. Each like their freedom and independence. And that is what keeps each interested in the other, their new ideas. Each needs to be in a separate section, but maybe collaborating toward a mutual goal. They are both interested in marriage, but the AQ-Aries part skitters away. It is more a reaction to what they are rather than a specific person. It’s more what they sense than what they are thinking about. Friendship is fine.

Saturn in Aquarius square Uranus, the planet of Aquarius, can be confusing. There is camaraderie and being at odds in the oddest ways! You what?! Saturn having been in AQ, has been trying to ride the unpredictable creature. It’s somewhere between a bucking bronco and surfing! He’s now used to knowing he no longer knows. Life used to be so what it was. Now it is compounded by pandemic, climate and politics gone wild. Financial winds keep zig zagging! Friends and family are changing. Oddly, the planet of change, is also genius at work, and in Taurus of stabilizing, making things more sensible and grounded. Self reliance and the most elemental feed-ourselves vegetable gardening has thrived during the pandemic. At a time when things are so up in the air (Aquarius), we are becoming more sensible, even more simple. Being at home, many have cleaned out years of debris from their lives, gotten literally lighter. They are getting work that is more in tune with their core. Might be less money, but the happiness factor brings a smile and better health.

4 Behenian FIXED STARS! 

Wiki says: The Behenian fixed stars, [used by alchemists,] are a selection of fifteen stars considered especially useful for magical applications in the medieval astrology of Europe and the Arab world. Their name derives from Arabic bahman, “root,” as each was considered a source of astrological power for one or more planets. Each is also connected with a gemstone and plant that would be used in rituals meant to draw the star’s influence (e.g., into a talisman). When a planet was within six degrees of an associated star, this influence was thought to be particularly strong.

Erik Roth reminds us: The Behenian stars are stars that have been shared as magical but it is really all stars and planets have their own magic and can be utilized through symbolic, psychic, spiritual and otherwise magical purposes in our lives.  The near-infinite sky dome is a part of our lives and has been since our very distant ancestors hundreds of thousands of years looked upon them and not only wondered what they were but also from a place of seeking, of finding meaning and seeing something beyond themselves. 

Alphecca, one of the 15 Behenian Stars! This star is sometimes called Gemma, the jewel of the crown. A brilliant white star, it is also called the Pearl of the Crown. It is the Alpha star of Corona Borealis, the Northern Crown, at 12 Scorpio 35 (2021) only 5 minutes of space from the New Moon! Nov 4 is the annual Sun to Alphecca return!

Alphecca marks the loop, or knot, of the ribbon along which are fastened the buds, flowers, or leaves of the wreath shown in early drawings with two long out-streaming ends. Corona Borealis represents the garland given by Venus to Ariadne on the occasion of her marriage to Bacchus after she had been forsaken by Theseus. Manilius said it ‘sparkles in the mid forehead. He was quite taken with the Crown. See his eloquent thoughts about it’s relationship with Virgo! Jamie at Astrology King says: it is of the nature of Venus and Mercury (idealistic, psychic, handsome, neat, lovable, refined, genteel, intelligent). It gives honor, dignity and poetical and artistic ability. 

With Moon: Public honor and dignity, suffers through law, partners and neighbors, trouble through underhanded dealings of enemies but eventual triumph over them, bad for love affairs, some faithful friends, greatly esteemed by Venus and Mercury people. (Robson) Honors and preferment.

With Sun: Active and brilliant mind, self-seeking, subject to scandal that does not affect the position. Honors and preferment.

This all then is opposite Uranus, which is opposite the New Moon! With Uranus Robson says: Selfish, mental affliction and violence at end of life, psychic power, suffering through occultism, deceptive, many false friends, small inheritance obtained with difficulty, losses by law, enemies and mercurial affairs, sorrow through children or an adopted child, domestic trouble through own acts, danger of a violent death. 

We have come a long way in our thinking about Uranus than when it was first discovered. Think in modern terms of the benefits of this planet and combine that with the issues Robson perceived. Uranus rules electronics and computers, networking of all kinds, humanitarian efforts, freedom, awakening, change, evolution. Alphecca’s charm and intelligence work well with so many opportunities!

Aquarian Abraham Lincoln 0°03′, J. Paul Getty 1°36′ had it with Uranus.

Fixed Stars Algorab 13 Libra – Scorpio’s neighbor signs, Sirius 14 Cancer – Scorpio’s earlier water sign, are in a most favorable trine!!! I imagine few of you have done much work with or even heard of Algorab! It is on the right wing of the Raven, in the constellation Corvus, the Crow.  If you love the intelligent Corvids this may bode well for you, if not, all the nasties you hear of them may be part of the Truth.

• In the US their rep is not so good. Astrologer Jamie Partridge summarizes: Algorab is one of the 15 magic related Behenian Fixed Stars. Its image is a raven, snake or negro dressed in black. It makes the wearer angry, bold, courageous and a backbiter, gives bad dreams, the power of summoning or driving away evil spirits and protection from winds and the malice of men and devils. – Whew! That’s impressive! If you sense those things in advance it can be a blessed forewarning.
• He also states the 28th Chinese Xiù – 軫 (Zhěn) Chariot thinks:  This is the celestial Carriage and it represents the transport of tributes from foreign lands to the Emperor, thus the accumulation of wealth. It also presides over travel of all kinds and vehicles. It also presaged favorable winds and an end to storms. Events in business bring great profit and everything done heralds fortunate returns. Paying homage to ancestors will honor one with a “Dragon Child”. It is also a great day for marriages and births. – Quite different!
• But some modern astrologers concur that it shows up in terrorism events! See the details at Astrology King, Jamie’s site! Don’t ‘terrorize’ yourself or provoke others; help others and yourself to be safe. Be aware of triggers and danger signals and leave; talk later if possible. Use your intelligence in a good way.
• The New Moon most favorably trines the potent, brightest star of the night, Sirius! Sirius enjoys a terrific reputation for the most part, but also called the Dog Star, watch out for dog bites, LOL! It is another of the 15 Behenian stars. Sirius is of the nature of Jupiter and Mars (high ambition, pride, love of power, grandeur of view.) It gives honor, renown, wealth, ardor, faithfulness, devotion, passion and resentment, and makes its natives custodians, curators and guardians. It gives honor, the goodwill and favor of men and the airy spirits, and the power to pacify nobles and others. And to tease you, it rules beryl, savine, mugwort, dragonwort and the tongue of a snake. See a lot more at Astrology King!

  Uranus in Taurus then is also in top good fortune sextiling Sirius! It’s adventures, research, local and international companions will lead to stunning opportunities. If you aren’t at the forefront, put your efforts with those who support their efforts! Work with companies who sponsor the world being a better place for all, starting with climate, safety, good quality water sustainably collected. Changes will be meaningful, keep your eye on the goal! The long term effects will have lasting results, honorable and sustainable.

Many 2021 factors have had an Aquarian component, including this New Moon being precisely in the same degree as the Aquarian planet Uranus! We are preparing for Pluto’s entry into Aquarius in 2023. We are more aware now that some connections need reworking, fixing, updating. Some ideas have long term implications worth working for, are financially productive, spiritually satisfying! Make notes then network like crazy to get more ideas to complete the package, select who will work together, and get it rolling! See Saturn in Aquarius Saturn is open to new areas of responsibility. Chiron in leader Aries is livening us with the latest healing and teaching ideas! Jupiter is back in Aquarius jazzing up Saturn’s prospects!

Pluto Trine Fixed Star Algol 26 Taurus 27 in 2020 – 2024

Pluto is of Scorpio, the sign opposite Algol’s sign Taurus, but Pluto now in Capricorn gentles that opposition because Pluto Capricorn trines, favors Algol. Pluto rules death and rebirth while Algol is considered to bear misfortune, often death. They understand each other. Neither is to be messed with. Capricorn is noted for facing reality squarely. 

Algol is the baddest Star according to some! It is a rare triple star and eclipsing binary, which means it blinks, and changes brightness, even ‘disappears!’ It is the Medusa’s Head, carried in the left hand of the Hero, Perseus. On the dark side, ‘It causes misfortune, violence, decapitation, hanging, electrocution and mob violence, and gives a dogged and violent nature that causes death to the native or others. It is the most evil star in the heavens.’ Some say it’s not the ‘bad’ within us but pushing through blockages to the beauty beyond is what really matters. We can face our demons with sincere intent and life changes for the better! See more!

Many give Algol a wide berth, plan carefully astrologically. To be on the safe side, Astrologers often allow 5 degrees for the effective range with Algol while most stars get only 1 degree range. If you have chart factors in that 5 degree range, one way or another you are connected with Algol. If you have questions, do see your astrologer.

Pluto is now at 24° Capricorn and moves only 3° a year. Pluto retrogrades back and forth through the degrees as it travels Capricorn. Allowing a 3 degree range, anytime Pluto is between 23 Cap 27 to 29 Cap 27, it will trine Algol at 26 Taurus 27. That period started Feb 2020 – virus time, and will go through Jan 2024. It is now continuously trine Algol. Exact trines are formed 5 times: on Spring Equinox Mar 20, & June 5, 2021, and in 2022 Jan 17, 2022, Aug 29, Nov 16.

One hopes the trine, a good aspect, bends the relationship with Algol to a more satisfactory outcome. Earth signs are a bit ‘indelible.’ Their effects are more long lasting. Keep turning the tables on Algol’s bad rep. Recent violence, covid deaths, may leave raw feelings of grief, bitterness, betrayal. Freedom is still at issue. Stay calm in the face of violence, shift your connections so better can happen, turn a page, try out some new possibilities. Know your rights and choose safety unless/even if you are trying to save someone’s life. If you are the offender, get all the help you can to change. Many a fine leader has come from a dark place.

Pluto understands much of this. Capricorn often has working answers to bring us back together in common cause. Be safe and be well. Tread gently. Get all the facts before you pass judgment. Steady in the Light.  

Algol’s connection with the Galactic Center!

Algol and the GC are in lockstep! Each being star factors, they each take 72 years to move a degree. Currently Algol is at 26 Taurus and the GC is 27 Sag. Whenever one is activated, they both are. Algol and the GC have an oblique position (inconjunct), aware, but out of the corner of your eye. That position is common in the charts of psychics. They ‘see’ peripheral factors that influence the outcome. Inconjuncts sometimes lead you on a goose chase, but maybe to greener pastures. You do get a greater perspective. Even if you go back home, you are different. You have perhaps made new friends and associates that can carry that sector for you, or be a link to that sector when you need it. Excellent adjustments are in the offing. Destination Algol would not usually be a conscious choice, but sometimes it is part of our Path and it just happens. Square your shoulders and do it, eyes wide open. Fascinating encounter.

Oh, yes, Algol strikes fear in a lot of hearts, but so does the GC when people find out it is one gigantic black hole!!! You could vanish in an instant! You astral travelers might should be careful? I like to think of Algol as the GC’s Guardian. Algol is considered to be a super powerful feminine force. It would take such an entity to protect the mighty GC! Algol is ready to stomp her feet and ‘invite’ you to travel, or takes you another place once the GC’s info has been bestowed, a place that needs the information the most.

Pluto rules Scorpio. Mercury sits in matchmaker Libra, one sign behind Scorpio, wanting to talk, mediate, be an ambassador! Libra is looking at laws of man and natural planetary laws. Libra is light, Scorpio is dark. Libra understands opposites, complements. Pluto is in Capricorn a challenging square sign to Libra. They both want certain proprieties but Libra can be nervous of Capricorn’s demands, at worst quashed. Capricorn may feel shy, that he doesn’t measure up to Libra’s natural sense of refinement. Libra loves the arts; Capricorn is more practical. Cap can help Libra get up into business, while Libra can help him polish his manners and make his products more attractive.

Algol is in Taurus, the first Venus sign, has a sensual touch, loves earthy beauty, sculpts its own existence! Libra, the second Venus sign is an air sign. Venus may love perfumes and dance, more sophisticated styles. The profound Galactic Center is in fiery Sagittarius, the next sign after Scorpio. The GC is enjoying lots of laughs and adventure stories, sends rays and bolts of information we are barely capable of downloading let alone understand, and it’s not on anyone’s schedule! Though ‘compatible’ signs, Libra generally prefers a more gentile pace, more quiet conversation over tea, and formal by invitation or appointment meetings, tête-à-têtes. Libra will find themselves being pressed to use their negotiating skills – tact and diplomacy, and loosening up in spite of themselves! They don’t want to miss anything! They will be blessed with more freedom, delighted by the bucking bronco! 

On a fine New Moon night, things are blended, no Moonlight or shadows. There is a certain equality as the playing field is equalized. It seems more quiet, even subdued. Without the contrasts and sharp edges we are more receptive… Even if there is a breeze, there are no moving shadows… Sleep can be deeper.

Note subtle changes, tune in to many channels, seek lifesaving connections!

Taurus/Scorpio Partial Lunar Eclipse Full Beaver MicroMoon! 

Friday November 19, 27 Taurus-Scorpio 14, 12:57 AM Pacific!

On a Mission! Have a good water source, root deep, line up your powers, fly high, get it done!

 

A United States Marine Corps helicopter is seen flying through this scene of the full moon and the U.S. Capitol on Tuesday, Feb. 7, 2012, from Arlington National Cemetery. (NASA/Bill Ingalls) Water sign Scorpio rules SEALs and Marines.

Times have changed since President George Washington, signed the bill for the creation of a national capital on the Potomac River into law on July 16 1790, in the sign Cancer. Some consider Washington DC to be a Scorpio city because Congress held its first session there on November 17, 1800, 10 years later. It’s birthday falls just 2 days before this year’s Nov 19 Partial Lunar Eclipse spanning Taurus – Scorpio!

I’m voting with Scorpio for many reasons, here are a few. Cancer would have brought more women into power. Scorpio is a natural ninja, money master, and many of our founding fathers were wealthy. A lot of our politics is scrapping about money. Scorpio runs corporations, lobbies and has international connections with networks of hidden alliances. Politically so much happens behind the scenes – right up Scorpio’s ally! Scorpio rules large rivers like the Potomac. 

Get out your cameras! When the Full Moon is low, it looks bigger and brighter than when it’s higher up in the sky. This is called the Moon illusion, and actually makes more of a difference to what it looks like than the real boost you get from it being a bit closer to Earth, a SuperMoon! Though this is a MicroMoon, it will still look a little bigger. Time and Date says ‘Because a MicroMoon is further away, it looks approximately 14% smaller than a Supermoon. In addition, the illuminated area appears 30% smaller, so it might look a little less bright.’

ECLIPSE! EarthSky’s content partner Fred Espenak explains: The November 19, 2021, eclipse is an exceptionally deep partial lunar eclipse. With a just thin sliver of the moon exposed to direct sun at maximum eclipse, the rest of the moon should take on the characteristically ruddy colors of a total lunar eclipse [Blood Moon]. 

The eclipse will darken the moon for much of the globe. Most locations will see up to 97% of the moon slip into Earth’s shadow. North America has the best location to see the entirety of the eclipse. Find maps and timing for the eclipse below, and remember to convert UTC to your time. You can visit timeanddate.com to get an exact timing of the eclipse from your location.

How exciting, an Eclipse! Mother Moon will be ‘protected’ from Sun’s light, instead be in in that special Lunar Eclipse glow! She will be free for some time to dance her own special way. In Taurus it will be with Mother Nature ~ with the Faeries in the meadow. Take some sage/ light if it is safe to do so. In your warm wraps, lie on the ground. Feel your body on the ground, sinking into the ground to become one with Mother Earth…breathe together. Feel the night air on your eyelids. Your heartbeat. Listen to the silence – the leaves, the night birds, animals calling, searching for food. You may slip into the Dreamtime… If you are one to do it, make prayers as suits you. Give gratitude.   Have a sip of that warm cider, Lunar tea, hot chocolate. Blessed be.

At this time of year beavers begin taking shelter in their lodges after storing enough food for the winter. Beavers are now taking on greater significance because they create much needed wetlands, improve water quality, store water during droughts, minimize flood risk and mitigate flooding peaks, increase biodiversity. Scorpio is a water sign, rules storage, underwater treasure recovery, so Beaver is an excellent choice zodiacally for this time. 

27 Degree Sequence for SIX months! 2021 Oct, Nov, Dec and 2022 Jan, Feb, and Mar start a ‘season’ of six Full Moons at 27 degrees Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo. The Full Moons at the 24 to 29 degrees, will activate Algol and the Galactic Center at 26 and 27 and their Pluto connections strongly 8 times Sep 2021 to April 2022. Fixed stars Polaris – the North Star, Betelgeuse in Orion are at 28 Gemini, and Procyon 25 Cn 47, will give varying additional effects per their type of connections with those signs. Note where these factors fall in your chart, which house(s). That is the section of  your life that they activate.

This is a Bowl chart, with the Full Moon signs at beginning and end! Mars in the base position pushes from Scorpio. It may be a subtle nudge or a shove you can’t ignore! Mars wants movement now, Scorpio may be obsessed with dedication. With Mercury there, it’s all he thinks about. Sun will get results one way or another. He may call on associates, or conserve his powers and is a force to be reckoned with when he releases the dogs.

Moon leads in steady Taurus! Taurus and Scorpio can persevere through enormous resistance. They can use silence, seduction, Taurus’s weight, a pace so slow they hypnotize you and you didn’t realize until it already happened. They can walk straight up to you and tell you why what you are doing isn’t going to happen and what’s actually better, and you just listen. Check. Scorpio is quite psychic and Taurus is sensibly grounded. Taurus can know by touch where the weaknesses are. Scorpio can heal what needs it. 

Saturn and Jupiter are in Aquarius, the sign squarely between Taurus and Scorpio! Mars and Uranus, Trouble and Blink, are leaving Saturn behind. Saturn has been organizing the odd mélange of Aquarian/Uranian accumulation only to find the genius in it the way it is! He encouraged Uranus to keep seeking, make the changes that will inevitably cause more changes like dominoes! Saturn advised Mars to focus and not waver or leave if it gets tough. Mars looks for what’s new, how to get started. Uranus in Taurus has been steadily plowing humanity’s thoughts for ways to make the biggest changes possible in the shortest time. Many people are being called on, and like in a barn raising, will get phenomenal things done together no one person could do alone. But Mars in Scorpio is like 10 people! He has super intensity, charisma to charm them all, and he can lead several teams at once! Miracles! He carries an Eagle on his shoulder, snakes in his hands, the fire of the Phoenix at his root! He’s somewhat scary, perhaps a bit ruthless, but impressive and inspiring! We’re on a mission, right?!

Mars in Scorpio is being sextiled by Venus in Capricorn! That’s a sweet combination of lovely and handsome. Scorpio and Capricorn, the rutty goat, both love sex. One can be the Master. There can be a long term relationship or a relationship of mutual convenience. It is a terrific business combination and may involve love related businesses. It would be fortunate for contractors and building, interior design for the rich and famous, designer clothing! The CEO may be a woman, a superior museum may be refurbished or started, antiquities bought and sold. Medical businesses for the aging, bonded services and security are options. These are all thoughts in your mind. Venus comes really close to Mars, but she is slowing to retrograde and never makes the exact aspect. Their favorable near encounter shows the possibilities that are likely to prove to have value, have influence over the gist of your decisions. Good luck! 

This also means Venus in Capricorn is trine Uranus in Taurus, a good earthy combination that just happened the day before! Capricorn likes to keep things moving and Uranus is electric, always pondering the environment with synapses faster than the speed of light! Taurus is Venus’s first sign, and both love comfy clothes and furnishings, fine textures, relaxing massages. Yet in this case, no one can sit still. So be comfy as you go. Take frequent breaks, do things you love to do so you enjoy staying engaged. Exciting friendships are likely. Doing things to make living better are satisfying. More productive land use in today’s climate, building attractive sustainable, money saving homes and commercial quarters feels good and people like being there. Groups form more naturally and a strong kinship develops.

Mercury in Scorpio has just been trine Neptune in his own sign Pisces. Both signs are psychic. Scorpio is shamanic; Neptune is the spiritual mystic. They don’t always need words to communicate, they simply commune. Neptune carries the dreams of all the signs, speaks of how Scorpio’s dreams have a necessary place in the zodiacal sequence. It’s where a deepening of the Soul occurs, where we let go, detox from old hurts, heal the suffering of ourselves and others. Scorpio helps Souls transition from this plain. Mercury recognizes and deeply feels what the old Master is saying. Being logical he can put words to their shared experiences, to Neptune’s perceptions that others don’t yet understand. It’s a gift, so others need to know how to do it too.  

Mercury is finding his way to Pluto’s gate. Pluto is Scorpio’s ruler and in Capricorn he has laws in mind, age, building and housing, parenting. Mercury is sextile, in a position to find opportunities, bring Pluto up-to-date and current news and new ways of getting connected safely. Some are doing quite well while others are suffering too much to lift their heads any longer. Human remediation is in order. Mercury gather’s so much information, it commingles in his head in infinite patterns, creating natural channels, stumbling on heretofore unknown possibilities! The intensity is phenomenal! Capricorn sees the logic at work as Mercury incorporates Caps ideas too, and likes the comprehensive results. No one else could do this the way a Scorpio mind can! They can’t stop talking, up all night! In a short time they are deeply bonded. 

Scorpio Mercury is squaring fiery Jupiter in wild Aquarius! Scorpio likes behind the scenes, and Jupiter AQ is anything but! In fact, if Mercury has secrets, they may be outed. Mercury may not like him, but can’t help be entertained and intrigued, but might be glad when it is all over. It’s a bit unnerving being out thought by this unpredictable being! Rarely would Mercury find anyone more intense than he could tolerate, but this is a likely time. Small doses at a time will do well. Many of Jupiter’s suggestions will be costly, maybe no one yet knows how to do them, ways may be found that will pay the costs as they go – they pay for themselves! Mercury in Scorpio is no shrinking violet. He has met major challenges before and done well. Jupiter may do well to watch his back side, LOL. If Mercury is seriously offended, revenge may be in the forecast. Both need to be respectful.

Jupiter is being left by the Full Moon axis! TruthSeeker Jupiter speaks plainly, even shockingly to Mercury and did with  Sun in Scorpio also! His perspectives opened a lot of conduits of thinking that will be taking them another 3 months at the least to process. There will be certain identity shifts that will in turn wake up others. New purposes will be found that are needed for future successes. Jupiter had a personal session with Moon in her kitchen. He especially liked her heavenly banana cream pie dessert! He told her of his travels, how the families and women of the world are doing, how the lands are being used, which animals are threatened or mistreated and what is being done. He is interested in her situation, what she needs for her comfort and peace. She gave him a place to rest on his journey, listened about the challenges he encountered and offered sensible advice about cycles, how to be steady in a storm. Blessings.

Moon and Sun are also leaving Pluto behind! In positive aspects, Moon trined; Sun sextiled. Moon and Pluto are water sign planets, both in earth signs. Taurus is opposite Pluto’s sign Scorpio, the same signs as the Full Moon! Water factors are sensitive and quite psychic. Moon is empathetic and mothering, but she can give mother orders too! Earth signs prefer grounding and sensible behavior and endeavors. Taurus is known for working with the land, body building, while Capricorn builds the home and business. Taurus is sensual while Pluto/Scorpio are sexual. Taurus ponders while Scorpio delves behind the scenes into the life force that makes things live or let go. Through touch Taurus discovers anomalies that Scorpio can heal at their root cause. Both these signs love money. Taurus likes it in his hands, in his pocket. Scorpio runs the corporation and all its subsidiaries, his fortune multiplying in his many accounts and further investments. Where Taurus and Scorpio investments may overlap is in mineral and oil wealth, water rights versus pollution. Scorpio can be a polluter or run a clean house, in fact, be in the business of remediation. Mother Moon may seem childish, at times even simple, but only a fool would underestimate her. Mothers always have the power to bring others to obedience. Father Sun may find himself blackmailed, Scorpio always has his secrets, or Moon knows him too well and tells him what’s what. 

Father Sun sextile Pluto were more easy together. Scorpio is Pluto’s sign. They speak the same language and know when to be careful of each other, to keep confidences without even saying so. Pluto is in Capricorn, the Father sign. There is a knowing respect of each other. Sun wants his due, his strengths to be noted. Capricorn has the rulebook and let there be no mistakes or wasting time. When Scorpio is on the same page, he is obsessed to get that job done. Capricorn is like the cat that swallowed the canary! He scored when this connection happened and things are finally getting done at the rate he prefers! They have each learned from the other. Sun knows more about what he is suited for and being appreciated for his obsession! Capricorn sees Scorpio’s heart light burning deeply from within and knows the warmth of that passion. He finds himself giving more now too and sees how it affects the people around him. They are more loyal and willing. It is more than getting a job done, it’s a sharing.

The most important outer planet combination right now is Saturn in AQ sextile Chiron in Aries Nov 26! At 8 AQ 40, this will be the last of the three aspects. Saturn has worked against the odds of changes the pandemic, and climate, have brought to harness energies from all over the planet, to help as many as he can. For those of you affected, we can only humbly thank you for all the work you have done, the hours put in nobody knows about but you. Some of you even lost your lives in our behalf. This has been a race against time, with Chiron, the old Centaur healer, in Aries, trying to be the first to help. It has been a challenge saving lives, inaugurating new vaccines, getting people through their various fears. Many of us will have learned a lot about responsible self care, letting go of criticisms and expectations.

In spite of all the health matters, for some, new businesses will be thriving. New jobs will save us from boredom extinction! Saturn in Aquarius is seeing new opportunities that have emerged. Chiron knows that is a healing, that some old ways must be left behind. It’s not the same world anymore. Aries loves challenges from the ground floor up, being the first! Though business may thrive, romantic relationships may not be so successful. Aquarius and Aries aren’t marriage minded though Chiron is. Give those a lot of time before signing any papers. Six months minimum, a year would be better. It is possible that new ways of having relationships will come into use as the times have changed. See more please

Pluto, Algol, Galactic Center! Pluto 24 Capricorn is trine fixed star Algol 26 Taurus 10. Galactic Center 27 Sagittarius is lock step with Algol. See all about them above in the New Moon, Fixed Stars section. The Full Moon axis is at 27 Scorpio-Taurus 14, fully connected with them all, but most powerfully with Algol! The Moon herself has just been conjunct Algol! Taurus is a strong sign and Moon is strongly intuitive. As the myths go, Algol had a hard time, yet she is considered to be a super powerful feminine force. Maybe Mother Moon will show herself to be of steady good faith and be trusted to sooth the suffering beast within us. The odds are long in this situation.  

Of Moon conjunct Algol Robson says ‘Violent death or extreme sickness.’ Ebertin a more recent astrological researcher says ‘Very difficult to avoid accidents and severe injuries.’ Yet here at 78 is the long time performer, invincible 4-planets-in-Leo, Mick Jagger, whose Taurus Moon is 1°24′ from Algol! Be the Tiger of your own Spirit and take Algol on the ride with you! She will enjoy the sights and forget her old sorrows and shames! Moon is a healer in her own right, and Taurus never gives up!

Be strong and honorable in your purpose, blessed in your progress!

Happy Libra! Women Negotiators & Leaders, Lives on the Line!

Libra 2021-22 Celestial HighLights, Timeline, Overview!

In Sep 2020, Four Afghan women who endured the Taliban’s oppressive rule and have fought for fragile gains since the terrorists were ousted, are facing the hardline group in peace talks. Here a year later in Sep 2021, Fawzia Koofi has left because under house arrest she wouldn’t be effective anymore. Interview  Two others have left. That now leaves Fatima Gailani, Senior Negotiator. She says “Every woman in Afghanistan has a fear… we always have a fear that whenever there are changes in Afghanistan and whenever there is a political change, always women are hurt.’ Politician and high-profile women’s rights campaigner, she survived two assassination attempts during her career pre Sep 2020, yet even now, Sept 10, 2021, she still hopes to talk. In Conversation  Photo by Sarabi Habiba    

We think of Libra as beauty, models, fine art in human form, but we are finding ourselves redefining their stature as women giving them so much more to be proud of! Super matchmaking leads to adept assessment of who people are and what they want. Intelligence leads to the ability to be an ambassador, negotiator, and when the going gets tough, being able to turn the tables with both sides satisfied for the time being, able to gather again after a trial period. 

We now have International Women’s Day annually March 8! Women from all over the world are standing up, even at the risk of their own lives. There have always been women warriors and who served in wars, as missionaries, witches, high priestesses, nurses/healers and teachers! There have been many heroines in the past. In the US, astonishing activist Libran Eleanor Roosevelt, amazing adventurer Amelia Earhart, the staunch equality seeking Suffragettes and activist Rosa Parks that were attacked and abused in the process, women in space who knew they might not come back, are only a few, but step by step others have gathered courage and followed in their own ways.

World wide so many have stepped up to the plate. One of my heroines is Kenya’s first African woman Nobel Peace Prize laureate Wangari Maathai, no birthtime, also awarded the Indira Gandhi Peace Prize. She was a pioneer in linking environmental protection with human rights. She planted trees, which was a political problem. She was arrested, beaten, put in prison. After years of struggle WIKI, she was appointed Assistant Minister in the Ministry for Environment and Natural Resources. It’s a miracle she lived through it all. Hats off to a courageous fighter.

Modern women! Three great women negotiators are leaders of our times: Billionaire Sheryl Sandberg, Harvard Business School, who negotiated her wages with Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg in 2008. Madeleine Albright, speaker at Program on Negotiation event at Harvard, was U.S. ambassador to the United Nations and secretary of state, negotiated with Putin in Clinton’s behalf. Then there is the astonishing Angela Merkel, Harvard’s 2019 Commencement speaker! Though not glamorous, and a scientist, she is the first female German Chancellor, previously was German Federal Minister of the Environment! She is described as ‘arguably the most powerful woman in the world!’ See their stories, insights about their success!
 
Young women have made news! Pakistani Malala Yousafzai survived being shot by the Taliban, advocates for equal educational rights for young women, the youngest Nobel Peace Prize laureate! X González (Emma), as a high school senior, survived the February 2018 Stoneman Douglas High School shooting in Parkland, Florida, and in response co-founded the gun-control advocacy group Never Again MSD. Greta Thunberg, no birthtime, Swedish environmental activist, suffers from Aspergers, yet is known for challenging world leaders to take immediate action for climate change mitigation. ‘No One Is Too Small to Make a Difference,’ was a #1 New York Times bestseller by Time’s 2019 Person of the Year “Greta Thunberg is already one of our planet’s greatest advocates.” —Barack Obama  All these young women have lived with their lives on the line. And there are more. 

Are Women better negotiators than men? In Lisa Gates’ 2011 post she writes:

‘In Susannah Breslin’s post “Why Men Are Better Negotiators than Women” she offers that if we see negotiation through the male filter she describes, not only do they “lie better,” they use negotiation “to intimidate” and are therefore better negotiators. And indeed, this is the perspective many women hold as true, and why they resist negotiation at all costs.

She writes: The Big Secret! You’ve been living a lie. In negotiation—anything from salary to noisy neighbors to barking dogs—women don’t need intimidation and lies (usually, but that’s another post). We naturally seek affinity and common ground. We are more concerned with relationship and mutual best interest than we are intimidation and for this reason we are much more naturally disposed than men to produce collaborative, durable agreements—meaning our agreements last, and don’t induce lingering resentment. We are good at this.

The only thing we lack is confidence and a bit of study in the exquisite tools and strategies of interest-based (win-win) negotiation. Once we get this down, we transform everything.’

This is not a whole answer, but it gets you started thinking about it.

Aug 2021 Kati Shonk writes: Men tend to achieve better economic results in negotiation than women, negotiation research studies have found overall. Such gender differences are generally small, but evidence from the business world suggests that they can add up over time, and if you want to narrow the gender gap in negotiation, there are strategies you can employ.

In a study in the Psychological Bulletin, Jens Mazei of the University of Münster and his colleagues analyzed 51 past studies that compared women and men’s negotiation results with the goal of determining whether women can capitalize on certain characteristics of negotiation to improve their outcomes. Here are three of their results:

1. View Yourself as an Agent for your Organization. Women negotiate more assertively for other individuals, such as their employees, than they do for themselves, research finds. Because negotiating for others is a communal behavior consistent with the traditional female gender role, women may feel more comfortable pushing harder for others than they do for themselves, researchers argue. 
2. Across the studies they examined, Jens Mazei and his team found that the gap between men and women’s outcomes narrowed as they gained negotiating experience. [Keep negotiating!]
3. Gender differences in economic outcomes tend to be smaller when negotiators receive information about the bargaining range in a negotiation simulation, past research has found. women, in particular, may be able to capitalize on this result by researching the typical salary range in a field, for example, and then, to avoid a social backlash, referencing these standards during their negotiations. See more!

Not everyone knows Libra is the sign of war and peace! Libran lawyer courtroom battles can be brutal. Librans are the best war strategists. Yet, due to culturation, Libra women are perhaps more vulnerable to the discomforts of ‘battle.’ Women are supposed to be nice, to make things better, pretty, and comfortable. But if they get their teeth into the justice of it all, you better get your facts straight, your armor on and hope you don’t insult them! They make powerful rights fighters for other women/children who have been abused or aren’t being treated equally or fairly in divorce or child custody/safety rights circumstances.  

Women are showing up everywhere all over the world! Libras are culturally interested, seeking balance and better being for all. Read here about 6 inspirational young female leaders There are so many exciting venues ~ fashion integrity, local to global food systems/security, health and medical care, psychological assistance to world leaders and people working with the pandemic, empowering children and families with the insights and skills to promote their social and economic well-being for a better future, human rights. Women in the UN are coming from many countries hoping to tip the balance in climate matters. Meet 15 Women Leading the Fight Against Climate Change and see the video!

Times are changing. Though faster now, it still seems seriously slow to many of us… Civil and sexual rights are tough topics to this day. Racial and abortion matters are deeply rooted. Animal rights are newer on the scene as more is learned about them. Climate and Water are soon becoming essential matters. We are counting on you Libras to get us connected and help us with your fine negotiation skills. Speak for us; teach us how to speak well. 

There are so many more educated women coming along, advocating for numerous new things as well as the age old matters. Gradually we are overcoming the fear of intelligence! We will come to be more grateful for women who educate themselves and others, and make a difference. We are becoming more morally aware. 

We are incredibly proud of you Libra women, and men, for your valuable talents and finesse!

Thank you to all of these heroines and to all of you who support them!

Libra Overview of Your Year to Come…

Tibet is a Libra country. Local folk performances mark the opening of the 13th Nyingchi Peach Cultural and Tourism Festival in Gala village, Nyingchi, Southwest China’s Tibet autonomous region, March 30, 2015. [Photo/Xinhua]

Blessings on the many exotic and lovely encounters in your coming year. Seek special connections at universities, cultural programs. Volunteer with visitors and help immigrants. Try out some of their foods, wear their garments, and learn about their customs. Learn a new language. Worship with them, meet their holy people. Feel what they feel. Share your heart. 

Libras are adept at integration, valuing changes made by honoring difference. They are astute listeners, meaningful speakers, mindful thinkers. They can mirror their acquaintances so there is a camaraderie through mutual experience. What a gift. Let them be your guide. Add to your own talents. Explore the world right where you are! Your life is enriched. 

Many 2020 and 2022 charts are Bowls, rare Bundles, and Buckets and seesaws! They are a concentrated force! The Feb 11 2021 SIX planet air sign Aquarius New Moon stellium Bundle Chart was a super example! All the planets were in a potent 113 degrees, less than a third of the wheel! See more about Bowls and Bundles If a singular planet or a pair or cluster of very close planets venture beyond these formations, a Bucket Chart is formed, emphasis on these ‘handle’ planets. If several planets loosely spaced move opposite the base group, a Seesaw Chart is formed, planetary oppositions common, balance sought. In these times when the slow moving outer planets are closely together, the base group is steady. The Bundles and Bowls alternate with the Buckets and Seesaws as ‘inner’ planets, Sun, Moon, Mercury and Venus, sometimes Mars, proceed on their own out of the base group during the year. In her 27 day cycle, Moon jumps out ahead every month. Sun is on the other side 5 to 6 months of the year.

2021 has been and still is a super special AQUARIAN TIME! The February 11 SIX planets stellium Aquarian New Moon may have inaugurated a 2nd wave of the ‘Dawning of the Age of Aquarius!’ 59 Years ago in Feb 1962, the New Moon Eclipse chart had seven Aquarian planets and lasted longer. Saturn and Jupiter are in Aquarius, made the Great Conjunction Solstice Dec 21 2020! 2015 to 2024 Uranus, the planet of Aquarius, has been and is the lead outer planet. 2021 has numerous outer planet aspects in Aquarius and ones formed to Aquarius’s planet Uranus, plus, Jupiter sextiles the Galactic Center three times! These prepare us for Pluto entering Aquarius March 2023, Pluto on a 248 year cycle! 

Mind you, the Ages are long, roughly every 2,150 years. Even 100 years would be a reasonable time frame for a transition from one to another. I think we could easily include 1962 and 2020/21 events and Pluto’s sign change into Aquarius in 2023 as part of the process. Pluto takes 248 years to circuit the zodiac. FYI the ages are reversed through the signs due to the Precession of Equinoxes. The previous age was Pisces, so we are now backing into the last degrees of Aquarius.

Going back to recent planetary action, Saturn and Jupiter made the leap for freedom, went into Aquarius Dec 16 and 19, made the GREAT CONJUNCTION Winter Solstice Dec 21, 2020! As one journey ends another begins. Pluto is in its final years of being in Capricorn. Pluto holds the power of life and death, represents the Phoenix that rises from its own ashes. In our lives that can be represented by poverty, bankruptcy, turned to wealth and powerful relationships. Capricorn is the mountain goat that rises to the heights, has staying power in extreme conditions, oversees, makes the laws, is the most efficient of all the signs, a survivor due to his own talents.

To make this Capricorn facet more potent, Saturn, Capricorn’s planet, and Jupiter were with Pluto as his support team! The difficult part was the Jan 12 2020 Saturn conjunct Pluto that probably brought the Virus, and Jupiter, a traveler, that had a role in transmitting it from China to other places. Yet, Pluto will continue to make impressive progress these last years even though Saturn and Jupiter have left him, now are in Aquarius. He may do even better because they have changed signs, leading him, wanting collaboration with the people to cure and heal, prevent more illness – and not just the virus, but working other matters as well, climate, politics. Since Pluto will be going into Aquarius March 2023, their work now is critical, paving the way for him. 

Following the Jupiter in Pisces preview from May 13 to July 28, 2021 Jupiter back in Aquarius continues to bring exceptional opportunities, especially for Aquarians through Dec 28! The sign lucky Jupiter is in, is the sign that succeeds and prospers! Saturn’s previous entry into Aquarius virtually shut down the airlines; Jupiter has revived them given certain conditions! Airlines, electronics, communications, organizations for sustainable change will flourish at new levels. Many patents will be filed, robotics, flying cars included. Jupiter in Aquarius! 

Adventurous Jupiter loves unstable ground, relishes making all the quick clever adjustments! Both Jupiter and Aquarius live for freedom! Since Saturn previewed Aquarius Mar 21 to July 1 2020, he is experienced and can handle the boisterous Jupiter Aquarius frolicking. He already knows there are lucky genius ideas afoot sometimes disguised as if there are no cares in the world! He sees it is that very freedom that makes them possible! He is able to tap the connections, make astute changes quickly, grab them while they are available ~ any moment Jupiter could run off to anywhere! The changes can enhance his business immeasurably! Jupiter’s current sign is where the good fortune is! Be ready to shift certain investments, adjust projects to include new, additional goals, especially those oriented to humanistic and planetary wellbeing. Aquarius will be delighted because as a researcher/thinker he doesn’t always get out to play, and Jupiter plays big. Jupiter even ups the amps on Aquarius’s own far thinking, and that is a rare thing to happen! Isn’t life grand?! Saturn may find himself on safari with Jupiter, or gone on the wind taking the computers to the surf zone when the surf’s up, whichever continent that may be on! Working from ‘home’ takes on new meaning! Really! Can be done!

Jupiter in Aquarius is like lightning! Things will happen quickly. This will be one of those periods when time itself seems speeded up! Jupiter in AQ knows the importance of immediate networking planet wide and how short a year’s window can be. Saturn has already been laying the groundwork. The possible collaboration of this team can have outstanding results much sooner than expected. 

Jupiter sped through Aquarius in record time, entered PISCES May 13 2021! It gave us a very brief preview, retrograded at 2 Pisces June 20! Magic happens! Jupiter travels the world, while Pisces travels the Spirit! Jupiter is a fiery planet so it may take a little getting used to Neptune’s Pisces damp waters. Yet, Jupiter loves speed sports, surfing, sailing, jet skiing, anywhere, the bigger the waves the better! Just be careful of tsunamis and floods! Jupiter philosophizes, tries to be just, to plan the best big future. Pisces talks with God, is psychic to the furthest realms, compassion his ruler. Jupiter may be harshly opinionated and Pisces can be an unable lost addict. Jupiter can be unkind; Pisces can be in denial, beyond caring. The other side of Jupiter is generous, can give hope, teach others to have faith beyond measure. He can help Pisces face the truth, Pisces knows he is lovingly regarded no matter what. Against the odds, recovery can happen. This can be one person in his own struggle or you working your piece for the world. Pisces gives Jupiter a dream, a vision of what can be, how miraculous recovery can be, what enormous strength and courage it takes. Even Jupiter is humbled…and grateful.

As Jupiter in Aquarius is super lucky for Aquarians, it is out of this world in Pisces for Pisceans! Jupiter cheers them up, expands their already magical dimensions, gives them further faith and awareness, heals their spirits from addictions and fears. Major tours are possible and successful dreams come true! It’s time to push the river a bit while the Gateway is open!

Jupiter returns to Aquarius July 28 until Dec 28 when he re-enters Pisces to stay. The Aquarian and Piscean talents will be commingled! The Path between them becomes a usable channel. Hopefully groups of crusaders will learn how to work together in current times, accomplish great deeds. Knowledge for all through the internet will keep us immediately informed, focused on task, adjusting priorities quickly! Jupiter traverses only part of one more sign, ARIES, the first sign of the zodiac! When Pluto enters Aquarius Jupiter will be at 17° Aries in a FIVE planet Aries stellium! Aries is the Action sign! That’s what I call a new beginning! 

Starting with the sign changes, in 2021 there are 13 aspects formed in Aquarius and Aquarius’s planet Uranus will be aspected 5 times! The first 4 of those 5 will be challenges, finding the existing weaknesses/blockages, remedying what needs adjusting, getting a flow going. The last one will be a positive aspect, an exciting finale of all those aspects, Feb 17, 2022 when Jupiter in Pisces sextiles Uranus, the AQ planet! 2021 alone will host 16 Aquarian type aspects! Then we wait, let things mingle, brew, progress, prepare, until Pluto makes that stupendous sign change into Aquarius Mar 23, 2023! We need Aquarius to be strong, in working order, integrated and grounded among ourselves, in our communities, internationally. 

We need to strengthen our Aquarian young people, our future leaders, and all Aquarians! Pluto is tough on the sign it is in and at the same time empowers them! Growing pains take strength. Take time to listen, cheer them on. Admire their broad scope, how they get teams going, their care for humanity and our planet, their inventions and science. Help them know how to carry on even when they are not appreciated. They are so intelligent, ahead of their time, that not everyone will understand their work, yet the work needs doing.

The preparation for Pluto entering Aquarius will take steady and dedicated work, staying focused. Everything about how groups and friendships work, the importance and techniques of research, how change is brought about successfully, are the goals. The foundation needs to be set. It will be explored, tested and trialed by Saturn and Jupiter entering Aquarius. 

Pluto in Aquarius will bring a new time. Pluto is Scorpio’s planet and Pluto/Aquarius are not exactly ‘compatible.’ Pluto has a ton of charisma, yet is as much private as Aquarius can’t help but bring attention by his simple presence. AQ is exotic, super intelligent, often revels in neon colors, odd/unique looks and attire, has electric static. He can get attention for being THE archetypal loner, or the brilliant head of a world humanitarian organization. Pluto is going to have some adjusting to do. He may be concerned for loss of privacy, be a bit jealous too. At the very worst, there could be power struggles for world rule, including genocide. Or they will do fundraising like never seen before! Pluto may gather the world’s top wealthy humanitarians and make governments of countries look small in comparison. Since these groups will have no governmental constraints, they may bring the world together when governments couldn’t. By comparison, the financially unsupported United Nations may become passé, or it’s possible its structure already in place may be revitalized! Comprehensive large scale inventor/researcher work could do very well to sustain and amplify their efforts. See more

Pluto will be in Aquarius 21 years, until January 2044! All the upcoming Aquarian flavored aspects will give us a head start. We’ll do Pluto in Aquarius better! Pluto was last in Aquarius 248 years ago, 1777 to 1799, a 22 year period of worldwide uproar and change – American revolution, the French revolution, the Industrial revolution in England. And it won’t be any different this time! Guarantee! So get your friends and alliances/networks in working order, stand up, get used to acting progressively, and be ready to roll! Some will mightily resist; others will persist with new ideas. Change will beget change. Take a peek at what Patrick Watson has to say on Pluto per sign historically. Check out what Lynn Hayes has to say about what Dylan Love has to say on transhumanism. 

Since that last 248 years ago we now have bombs, climate change, electronic communication, robotics, and a helluva a lot more people on the planet. Water and weather wars are possible. Actually, water wars are already starting – pollution prevention, Detroit, Standing Rock. We need to reassess our mandates for leadership – age and both physical and mental health. There are going to be some bumps. Some say, after the kinks are worked out, there will be a ‘Golden Age!’ Make it so. …or would that be really boring, LOL?! Evolution never quits.

Young people born around 2003 will be about 20 in March 2023 and from 20 until they are 41, will live this period. Their lives will be about this world changing time. Help them now. Prepare them to be strong and steady leaders then. Strengthen everything Aquarius in your life.

2021 Jupiter and Saturn activate Chiron and Uranus. 

Jupiter initiated connections with Chiron and Uranus. They were just once each, Jan 11 Jupiter in AQ sextile Chiron, Jan 17 square AQ’s planet Uranus. Jupiter is first considering purpose, plans, perspective. Saturn carries these planetary connections to Chiron and Uranus throughout 2021. Feb 9 Saturn in AQ started the sextile Chiron in Aries series, then Feb 17 squared AQ’s planet Uranus in Taurus the first time! Saturn will make these aspects three times each. If Jupiter hit the nail on the head, Saturn will anchor it to build on further. Chiron the healer/teacher in Aries, the Leader, is called on first to guide the way. Then Uranus is challenged. Friendships and alliances will shift due to new needs. It will be a time of weeding the weak, not fully capable or dedicated. At first there may be a seeming standstill as decisions are made, but the situation is brewing just the same. Initially there can be some false starts, mistakes, trial and error needed in this new territory, but things will get sorted out. We’re working with new materials, new energies, new parameters with the virus, new people, new locations, and everyone is adjusting. Saturn makes the last square to Uranus Dec 23, 2021.

► The most exciting aspect of 2021 is Jupiter sextile the Galactic Center three times! Earth Day April 22, Aug 20 and Dec 12 – Twelve Twelve! Jupiter will consult with the gods and goddesses of the heavens! The GC is the center of our Galaxy, the Milky Way. Jupiter, the far traveler, has no problem with such a journey, especially while in Aquarius, the very sign of the heavens, stars and flight! Jupiter is associated with Sagittarius, the home of the GC! Perfect combination, and how apropos to the Aquarian emphasis at this time! Jupiter will be our emissary, a generally broad minded planet with a huge perspective, a gift to discover possibilities of the future! The GC will not fail to transmit, infuse, present magnificent infinite consciousness stirring insights and instruction. We have three chances to take it in, grow with it. The Galactic Center is at 27 Sagittarius 09. If you have factors in your chart that match up within 5 degrees of that 27th degree, you will be called. Unlike with fixed stars, only 1 degree usually allowed, the Galactic Center is HUGE! If you are involved with meditation, circles, consciousness raising groups, if ever there was a time to tune in, it is NOW!

Paul O. Hewit writes: “it is probably the second strongest spot in any astrology chart, following the Sun. It is a stunning source of energy, motivation, and aspiration. The Galactic Center is the Sun of our Sun. It is the source of most of the gravitational energy present in our galaxy, and probably the source of most of the energy in any chart, transformed through our own Sun.” [Some say the GC IS the strongest factor in our charts!] It moves only a degree every 72 years, so you can easily get the degree it was when you were born. Have your astrologer calculate its exact position for you.

 

 

Portals are all around us. Some are temporary, some are always there. Some are annual like the August 8 Lion’s Gate. No two are alike, take us different places. Some are one way, others are two way but perhaps only at certain intervals – you have to be there or… Some lifetimes there are none, others have several passages. And there are the portals into and out of life.

 

2022’s Three Aspects, planetary portals, the only 2022 Aspects and they only happen once each!

All three of 2022’s aspects are done by May 3, in just over 4 months! All will be formed while Jupiter is in Pisces. The rest of the year will be putting our discoveries into practice, improving, holding and maintaining good ground gained. Jupiter in Pisces and Aries will show us the endings and dreams of Pisces as the last sign of the Zodiac, and the beginnings Aries will work for. It will be good to rest and relax, then stretch our physical and spiritual muscles and take action! 

Feb 17 Jupiter in Pisces sextile Uranus in Taurus Once

This is the last of the Aquarius/Uranus aspects that prevailed from Dec 2020, throughout 2021! Time for celebration and pledges to the future!

Two fast planets in differently tempoed signs Pisces and Taurus. Jupiter loves races and often has the long legs to win! Uranus is the genius with the greased lightning mind! Pisces has an adjustable speed potential, like a fast swimmer, the speedboat or yacht race, but is also the meditator like the Buddha that sat by the road for years…enjoys the silence at the ashram, or the roar of a rock concert! Lots of dimensional ability. Taurus has no intention of rushing about. He has his own steady pace, enjoys sitting peaceably. He’s not lured into undignified behavior.

Jupiter and Uranus’s works are cut out for them. They will speed up the others. They also learn that sitters and plodders are getting quite a bit done with a lot less external energy being shown. They just do it. Pisces finds the shortest route and uses psychic ability to do it. Taurus is sensible and doesn’t worry. He sits with it and the plan forms with his patience. It’s uncanny. They both come up with solutions that are off the books. They think for themselves. At times the fast planets lose themselves in the fray and have to stop, come to their senses, recenter, restart where it all went awry. Sometimes needs require a faster tempo. At those times let the speedy planets guide you. They do have our well being in mind and often make ‘accidental’ discoveries! Pass the baton back and forth!

► April 12  166 Year Event! Jupiter conjunct Neptune in his own sign Pisces Once

Jupiter Conjunct Neptune reads the same as Jupiter in Pisces only more so! Pisces is Neptune’s sign and Neptune is currently IN Pisces, his own sign! Jupiter right there with Neptune most certainly ups the amps very specifically! Jupiter with Neptune comes by only every 13 years, but when Neptune is potently in Pisces, Neptune’s own sign, only every 166 years! The last time Jupiter was with Neptune in Pisces was May 17 1856! Freud, George Bernard Shaw, Tesla and Woodrow Wilson, all Chinese year of the Dragon, were born in 1856. 

This is the big event while Jupiter is in Pisces and of 2022! In fact, this is a rather special conjunction. Robert P. Blaschke says ‘2009 has also brought the alignment of Jupiter and Neptune in the sign of Aquarius. [2022 it’s in Pisces, the next sign.] Conjunctions of these two planets take place at 13-year intervals and every thirteenth conjunction recurs at nearly the same Zodiacal position. Neptune’s sidereal cycle averages 165 years and the Jupiter-Neptune conjunctions divide the Neptune cycle into 13 sub-periods (13 x 13 = 169).’ 

Blaschke further writes, ‘As Neptune moves from one sign to the next, eleven out of twelve times it meets Jupiter only once while transiting a sign. Dane Rudhyar and Alexander Ruperti both wrote that the Jupiter-Neptune conjunction is the high-point of Neptune’s stay in any given sign.‘ See more about what Blaschke writes

Neptune, Pisces, work with spiritual matters, soul saving, dire conditions of suffering. It might be saving children in sweat shops, cruel conditions for inmates or mental patients, needed health reforms. Jupiter is the ethical planet that wants justice and has no fear of legal necessities, may be the Judge. Knowing this in advance gives us all a heads up that we are coming to a prime time to work in behalf of merciful repairs. Take courage. If you can’t do it yourself, find and fund a proven champion to work in your behalf. Please.  

Alexander Ruperti says ‘The number 13 refers to the Christ principle and as such is the symbol of the power to overcome death and limitations on all planes … Therefore, in essence, the Jupiter-Neptune cycle gives mankind a basic rhythm of and describes its urge toward transcendence.’ 13 is considered by some to represent a Gateway of the Soul. See more about this 166 year event!

In our daily affairs, Jupiter may exaggerate with no hope for reason, LOL! Pisces is perfectly happy with this, his magical side is cheering him on, it’s an exciting yarn! Pisces has dreams and Jupiter sees no reason why they can’t come true! The two of them can be utterly mischievous together! Jupiter can sometimes get all ethical and abhors addictions that disable. He looks for ways to help his mates stand clean again, to be strong for their futures, to make the world a better place. Your intuition may surge to overwhelming dimensions, you have never had visions like this before! Thank goodness the conjunction is between the Sun and Saturn in good aspect. Sun Lights the way and Saturn will help anchor the events and build what’s needed.   

May 3 Jupiter in Pisces sextile Pluto in Capricorn Once

The one with the answers walks among us. Some are invisible, some seem ordinary, others really are simply easily sneaky. This can be a super wealth aspect, it just comes upon us though Pisces doesn’t always care about money at all. It can be a cure for old age ailments. Just do what you love and profound healings occur. Time for dreams to become true through laws ala the Right of Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. An obscure place or peoples, maybe an indigenous group, become especially important. An extinct animal may reappear or come from frozen wastelands. Maybe you will find the work of your soul! There are many extreme, extremely valuable possibilities that could come with this combination. Pay attention; look below the surface… Be careful not to put your hands or feet where you can’t see… Being lost may be the invitation to a new life. Get the keys to the locks and cross the threshold…

2022 Sign Changes

The only planet changing signs is Jupiter. He previewed Pisces briefly from May 13 to July 28 2021. He returns to Pisces December 28, 2021. In 2022 Jupiter speeds completely through Pisces into Aries in only 5 months, on May 10, after his sextile with Pluto, the last 2022 outer planet to planet aspect! Late 2022 Jupiter retrogrades back into Pisces Oct 27 to Dec 20, a last chance affair, then its onward in Aries, the sign of new beginnings, no going back! The next day is Winter Solstice, the belly of winter. From there are the seeds of new beginnings, the ‘return of the Light!’ See more Jupiter in Pisces

It’s one thing to make your vows in Pisces, another to take action in Aries! Pisces is what you believe in. Some say ‘Do not ask God to guide your footsteps if you are not willing to move your feet.’ The last sign, Pisces carries the Dream of all the signs. Aries is the first sign of the zodiac, the first responders. Initiation means more than taking a title. It means doing your vows. Aries are brave leaders, risk takers, rights fighters. They often have to make instant decisions to save lives. They are fiery Spirits that operate on instant instinct. Consulting is one of their best talents. Listen keenly. Ask your questions right now while they are there with you. They will be gone to the next fire quickly. Staying physically fit is essential and can be totally enjoyable. Prowess feels super! Independence is strong. Ride your bike!

Jupiter is looking for purpose with integrity! It takes a core truth and educates as many as will listen to why it is meaningful and worthy. Jupiter has a bold and confident way, expands, embellishes, emphasizes, gives extra! It’s edifying, LOL! Jupiter likes to play and tell whopper stories, have a great big dog and ride the winning horse! In Aries a lot of ground will be traveled, and quickly too! Speed is a delight. Records will be broken! Skating, surfing, skiing! Wow!   

The Galactic Center, Algol and Pluto!

All three of these are dark characters! The GC is a gigantic black hole! Algol has a dark reputation, ie beheadings, when your lights go out. Pluto is the furthest planet from the Sun, the darkest and frozen to boot!

Fixed star ALGOL and the GC are in lockstep! Each being star factors, they each take 72 years to move a degree. Currently Algol is at 26 Taurus and the GC is 27 Sag. Whenever one is activated, so is the other. Algol and the GC have an oblique off center position (inconjunct), aware, but out of the corner of your eye. That position is common in the charts of psychics. They see peripheral factors that influence the outcome. Inconjuncts sometimes lead you on a goose chase, but maybe to greener pastures. You do get a greater perspective. Even if you go back home, you are different. You have perhaps made new friends and associates that can carry that sector for you. Excellent adjustments are in the offing. Destination Algol would not usually be a conscious choice, but sometimes it is part of our Path and it just happens. Square your shoulders and do it, eyes wide open. Fascinating encounter.

Algol is the baddest Star according to some! It is a rare triple star and eclipsing binary, which means it blinks, and changes brightness, even ‘disappears!’ It is the Medusa’s Head, carried in the left hand of the Hero, Perseus. On the dark side, ‘It causes misfortune, violence, decapitation, hanging, electrocution and mob violence, and gives a dogged and violent nature that causes death to the native or others. It is the most evil star in the heavens.’ Some say it’s not the ‘bad’ within us but pushing through blockages to the beauty beyond is what really matters. We can face our demons with sincere intent and life changes for the better! See more!  See more about the spiritual side…

Algol’s bad rep, strikes fear in a lot of hearts, but so does the Galactic Center when people find out it is one gigantic black hole!!! You could vanish in an instant! You astral travelers might should be careful? I like to think of Algol as the GC’s Guardian. Algol is considered to be a super powerful feminine force. It would take such an entity to protect the mighty GC! Their off center relationship may take you on the road less followed, so to speak. There is a draw to explore. Algol is ready to stomp her feet and ‘invite’ you to travel, or takes you another place once the GC’s info has been bestowed, a place that needs the information the most. 

Many give Algol a wide berth, plan wisely astrologically. Astrologers often allow 5 degrees for the effective range with Algol while most stars get only 1 degree range. If in neighboring signs, only 3 or less degrees might be used. If you have chart factors in that 5 degree range, one way or another you are connected with Algol. If you have questions, do see your astrologer.

Pluto is now at 24 Capricorn and moves only 3° a year. Pluto retrogrades back and forth through the degrees as it travels Capricorn. Anytime it is between 23 Cap 27 to 29 Cap 27, it will trine Algol. That period started Feb 2020, virus time, and will go through Jan 2024. It is now continuously trine Algol. Exact trines are formed 5 times: on Spring Equinox Mar 20, & June 5, 2021, and in 2022 Jan 17, 2022, Aug 29, Nov 16. 

Pluto has been having the Algol experience, and is one of the few who can stand up under this trial. Very luckily, the trine is the most favorable angle, so though not unscathed, he survives. Both Pluto and Algol are respected and incur life and death situations. One hopes the trine bends the relationship with Algol to a more satisfactory outcome. Earth signs, like Capricorn, especially being the last Earth sign, are a bit ‘indelible.’ Their effects are more long lasting. Keep turning the tables on Algol’s bad rep. Stay calm in the face of violence, even your own anger. Shift your connections so better can happen. Know your rights and choose safety unless/even if you are trying to save someone’s life. If you are the offender, get all the help you can to change. Many a fine leader has come from a dark place.

Those of you with your Saturn’s from 6 to 25 Aquarius will be having your 28/9 year Saturn Returns in Libra’s year! 

Lunar patterns! For Full Moons the 27th degree (degree of Algol/GC/Pluto) will be activated 8 times Sep 2021 to April 2022. Fixed stars Polaris – the North Star, Betelgeuse in Orion are at 28 Gemini, and Procyon 25 Cn 47 will give varying additional effects per their type of connections with those signs. Those of you with factors close to 12 degrees in your charts will be activated by 7 New Moons from Oct 2021 to March 2022. Jan and March 2022 will have two New Moons in Pacific time zone. If you have factors at or within 3 degrees of both 12 and 27, all those New and Full Moons will activate you in sequence through the signs! Set a goal and approach it progressively from every angle, every sign!    

May your heart be filled with beauty every moment!

Happy Birthdays, Dear Libras!

Naomi, a senior elephant keeper, sings to one of the older orphan calves at the Reteti Elephant Sanctuary in Namunyak Wildlife Conservancy, in central Kenya, on February 26, 2020. The community-owned elephant sanctuary gives care to abandoned or orphaned elephant calves and conditions them for release back to the wild as they approach four years of age. The sanctuary also benefits the local Samburu people who live alongside the animals and who are seen as an expanding community-driven grassroots conservation movement in northern Kenya. Samburu Warriors who once feared elephants now protect them. Photo by Tony Karumba / AFP / Getty at The Atlantic – stunning photos in honor of World Elephant Day August 20.

As well as being interculturally minded, Librans are interspecies oriented. Crossing barriers and boundaries comes naturally to them. 

I leave you with Love, Thanks, and Many Blessings ~

Libra 2021 New & Full Moons!

Libra New Moon!

Wednesday October 6, 13 Libra 25, New Moon at 4:05 AM Pacific!

13 is the Magic Number! Right away unique changes are afoot! Seek very special people!

Starry African night sky over swamp, Okavango Delta, Botswana, Limpopo, South Africa. Botswana is a Libra Country. Study Abroad in Botswana, UCEAP University of California Education Abroad Program

We could call this a bowl or locomotive chart pattern, but with that strong FOUR planet stellium in Libra, the New Moon the SAME degree as martial Mars, it has less locomotive spread and push, instead, a lot more instant punch! Venus is in Scorpio admiring the potential, has her own hidden talents! Mars is up front, Scorpio is the ninja, and Venus is so nice you never know what happened and find yourself thanking her! Venus has super importance because she is Libra’s ruler! All the inner planets are on one side, the outer planets on the other. Though only one strong opposition, it involves the New Moon and Mars to Chiron in Aries, the Mars sign! Since Libra IS the sign of oppositions, I’m dubbing it a Seesaw chart pattern. Seesaws seek balance, just like Libra! 

In spite of Libra being an interpersonal sign, in a way we could say this is a more personal chart since all the inner planets are together in only 2 signs. Mars is so independent, he is not a usually very concerned for the others, but he does take things quite personally and quickly! Nevertheless, he just does what he does, and that even in Libra too. But in Libra he may be fighting for your rights, seeking justice for all! He may find more success by being more aware of the people around him, keeping the team informed. He may prosper due to their ideas and united efforts.

And of all planets, to be with him, Mother Moon at the same degree?!! Mars was born to be independent of his family, especially Mom! Not only is Moon there, but Father Sun as well. Groan. Sometimes young Mars (Aries) literally fights it out with a domineering father. Libra fights can be subtle. An outsider might not catch it. They can ignore each other, speak nicely but with an insider implied threat or put down, play one against another. Or they are all feisty and there’s no guessing at all! When they work together, Mars may have to restrain himself. He’s older now, or these are not his parents but remind him of them. Each can be admiring, glad for the others contributions.

Mercury retrograde is with them, out front, yet returning (Rx) to give them information he found, sometimes cajoling them to stay on point, focus on doing the mission. Yesterday, Oct 5, he was inconjunct, off to the side from opposite Neptune in Pisces, moving back away. So different. Pisces is water; Libra is air. Yet on a misty day, in the clouds, or the spray of waves, there is an exchange of ions that refresh our spirits and our brains! Neptune has the 6th sense of the most important needs. Neptune rules the oceans, the great Mystical Drift of Souls. Significant change will lift Spirits. Fears, Depression and Grief will lift as we each do our part to balance our systems. Mercury is quite intellectually gifted in Libra to find connections that are life changing, both in our environment and among the People. Differences become assets, and Neptune psychically sees how mergers and unity of cause will give blessing beyond what was thought possible. See Neptune in Pisces Mercury will return to this inconjunct the third and last time Oct 30. See Libra Mercury Retrograde

Oct 3 Mercury retrograde trined Jupiter in Aquarius! Super strange and fabulous ideas tingled his fingertips! Jupiter is lucky, thinks big, and AQ is pure genius, right up Mercury in Libra’s ally! He is going back, Rx, to share the news and let the Libra’s do their magic! They can transform dross to gold! Swear! Conversion is one of their talents. They can reposition it, repurpose, dress it up, use it in remarkable ways. You see, Mercury Rx in Libra can see backwards! He sees both sides and a few others too! He knows a lot of people, and has banks of information in his mind that he can pull forward at will! It’s pure genius of its own kind! He and those Libras can do things no others can! Jupiter is a seer, see-er, and plans a righteous future. Aquarius is commonly ahead of its time. Mercury in Libra can take something ahead of it’s time and put it right here on the tabe now as if that is the most ordinary thing and why didn’t we think of that sooner?! Isn’t integration terrific?

This Libra Stellium is a super powerful combination to stir the public, unite groups, make political change! 

The 13 degree three, Moon, Sun and Mars – Mother, Father, and Son, have passed Chiron in Aries, Mars’ sign! Chiron has affinity with Mars, so may have spoken with him the most or made quite an impression on Mars. Chiron has passionate ideas for healing quickly in today’s world, goes a lot by instant instinct. One of the foibles of Libra, that they are teased about, is not being able to make up their minds. They see everyone’s side and why it’s important to them, doesn’t want to hurt anyone. What to do?! Aries has no such problem and says let’s get on with things! If we do it wrong we’ll fix it. Of course that is not always a wise choice, but it kicks a stalemate in the behind! If someone is dying or there is a deadline, move it! Go for the long term priority related option!

The 13 Three are inconjunct, askew with Uranus at 13 Taurus! Taurus is the first Venus sign, Libra the second! Taurus is patient; Uranus, the Aquarian planet, has greased lightning genius intelligence and Libra is known for intelligence on their feet, like in courtroom strategies! Taurus, ruler of Mother Earth, supports and grounds Uranus; Uranus has solutions for Earth changes and musters groups of experts to roll out the latest remediation techniques. It’s hard to just sit still in the presence of Uranus. There is an electricity that sizzles even when they are sleeping! Moon for sure senses this active valence. Sun is curious, in Libra, knows there is value there, but is careful because there is an unpredictability. Mars can’t wait to play! Fascinating character, and may want to push to see what happens. He figures he’s quick enough on his feet to dance out of the way, even lead a chase! For fact, it will lead to new somethings, and Mars and Uranus both love new! 

Venus in Scorpio is like a magnet! She can be sexy, belly-dancer seductive, charismatic, have grace beyond words! Libra likes to keep things clean and have propriety, so Venus may be somewhat on her own, a little much for them. She may have a rebellious get-even streak in her, but find herself noticing how they have a charm and grace of their own, provocative intentions! She may decide to help them. They will both influence each other since she is Libra’s planet! Venus in Scorpio knows instinctively how to talk with the corporate world, has her own form of social and negotiative martial arts. And everyone better move on this right now because tomorrow early AM she will exit into Sagittarius! 

Fixed Stars Algorab 13 Libra, Sirius 14 Cancer!!! I imagine few of you have done much work with or even heard of Algorab! It is on the right wing of the Raven, in the constellation Corvus, the Crow. TODAY is the very day annually that Sun, and in this case also the Moon, conjunct Algorab! If you love the intelligent Corvids this may bode well for you, if not, all the nasties you hear of them may be part of the Truth.

• In the US their rep is not so good. Astrologer Jamie Partridge summarises: Algorab is one of the 15 magic related Behenian Fixed Stars. Its image is a raven, snake or negro dressed in black. It makes the wearer angry, bold, courageous and a backbiter, gives bad dreams, the power of summoning or driving away evil spirits and protection from winds and the malice of men and devils. – Whew! That’s impressive!
• He also states the 28th Chinese Xiù – 軫 (Zhěn) Chariot thinks:  This is the celestial Carriage and it represents the transport of tributes from foreign lands to the Emperor, thus the accumulation of wealth. It also presides over travel of all kinds and vehicles. It also presaged favorable winds and an end to storms. Events in business bring great profit and everything done heralds fortunate returns. Paying homage to ancestors will honor one with a “Dragon Child”. It is also a great day for marriages and births. – Quite different!
• But some modern astrologers concur that it shows up in terrorism events! See the details at Astrology King, Jamie’s site! Don’t ‘terrorize’ yourself or provoke others; help others and yourself to be safe. Be aware of triggers and danger signals and leave; talk later if possible. Use your intelligence in a good way.
• Algorab and the New Moon square the potent, brightest star of the night, Sirius! Sirius enjoys a terrific reputation for the most part, but also called the Dog Star, watch out for dog bites, LOL! It is another of the 15 Behenian stars. See a lot more at Astrology King! If you square off the Raven and the Dog, it sounds like witches and warlock companions having a fight! Either there are power struggles, in the old sense good versus evil, but also they may serve their mistress and master well, each in their own way – symbolically one in the sky seeing far ahead, the other on the ground sensing if there is imminent danger. If there are two different masters, it may be a war, but with the clever Raven in Libra, they could collaborate for common cause.

All six of the outer planets (including Chiron in the tally) are retrograde now, today being the last day! The New Moon is 4:05 AM Pacific; outer planet Pluto goes direct 11:29 AM Pacific. He has been in Station, what appears to be a stand still position in the sky, at 24 Capricorn 19 from Oct 1 to  and will be until Oct 12! That’s at the same MINUTE, not degree. During the outer planets’ mutual retrograde since August 19, they have all been mulling over our progress, reprocessing current conditions, updating and strengthening for further changes. 

Pluto in Capricorn and Saturn in Aquarius stand alone in this chart involved in no active planetary aspects. They are focusing on their own matters, readying. They are observing, waiting, developing poise.  

Many 2021 factors have an Aquarian component, including this New Moon being precisely in the same degree as the Aquarian planet Uranus! We are preparing for Pluto’s entry into Aquarius in 2023. We are more aware now that some connections need reworking, fixing, updating. Some ideas have long term implications worth working for, are financially productive, spiritually satisfying! Make notes then network like crazy to get more ideas to complete the package, select who will work together, and get it rolling! See Saturn in Aquarius Saturn is open to new areas of responsibility. Chiron is livening us with the latest healing and teaching ideas! Jupiter is back in Aquarius jazzing up Saturn’s prospects!

Pluto Trine Fixed Star Algol 26 Taurus 27 in 2020 – 2024

Pluto is of Scorpio, the sign opposite Algol’s sign Taurus, but Pluto now in Capricorn gentles that opposition because Pluto Capricorn trines, favors Algol. Pluto rules death and rebirth while Algol is considered to bear misfortune, often death. They understand each other. Neither is to be messed with. Capricorn is noted for facing reality squarely. 

Algol is the baddest Star according to some! It is a rare triple star and eclipsing binary, which means it blinks, and changes brightness, even ‘disappears!’ It is the Medusa’s Head, carried in the left hand of the Hero, Perseus. On the dark side, ‘It causes misfortune, violence, decapitation, hanging, electrocution and mob violence, and gives a dogged and violent nature that causes death to the native or others. It is the most evil star in the heavens.’ Some say it’s not the ‘bad’ within us but pushing through blockages to the beauty beyond is what really matters. We can face our demons with sincere intent and life changes for the better! See more!

Many give Algol a wide berth, plan wisely astrologically. Astrologers often allow 5 degrees for the effective range with Algol while most stars get only 1 degree range. If you have chart factors in that 5 degree range, one way or another you are connected with Algol. If you have questions, do see your astrologer.

Pluto is now at 24° Capricorn and moves only 3° a year. Pluto retrogrades back and forth through the degrees as it travels Capricorn. Allowing a 3 degree range, anytime Pluto is between 23 Cap 27 to 29 Cap 27, it will trine Algol at 26 Taurus 27. That period started Feb 2020 – virus time, and will go through Jan 2024. It is now continuously trine Algol. Exact trines are formed 5 times: on Spring Equinox Mar 20, & June 5, 2021, and in 2022 Jan 17, 2022, Aug 29, Nov 16.

One hopes the trine, a good aspect, bends the relationship with Algol to a more satisfactory outcome. Earth signs are a bit ‘indelible.’ Their effects are more long lasting. Keep turning the tables on Algol’s bad rep. Recent violence, covid deaths, may leave raw feelings of grief, bitterness, betrayal. Freedom is still at issue. Stay calm in the face of violence, shift your connections so better can happen, turn a page, try out some new possibilities. Know your rights and choose safety unless/even if you are trying to save someone’s life. If you are the offender, get all the help you can to change. Many a fine leader has come from a dark place.

Pluto understands much of this. Capricorn often has working answers to bring us back together in common cause. Be safe and be well. Tread gently. Get all the facts before you pass judgment. Steady in the Light.  

Algol’s connection with the Galactic Center!

Algol and the GC are in lockstep! Each being star factors, they each take 72 years to move a degree. Currently Algol is at 26 Taurus and the GC is 27 Sag. Whenever one is activated, they both are. Algol and the GC have an oblique position (inconjunct), aware, but out of the corner of your eye. That position is common in the charts of psychics. They see peripheral factors that influence the outcome. Inconjuncts sometimes lead you on a goose chase, but maybe to greener pastures. You do get a greater perspective. Even if you go back home, you are different. You have perhaps made new friends and associates that can carry that sector for you, or be a link to that sector when you need it. Excellent adjustments are in the offing. Destination Algol would not usually be a conscious choice, but sometimes it is part of our Path and it just happens. Square your shoulders and do it, eyes wide open. Fascinating encounter.

Oh, yes, Algol strikes fear in a lot of hearts, but so does the GC when people find out it is one gigantic black hole!!! You could vanish in an instant! You astral travelers might should be careful? I like to think of Algol as the GC’s Guardian. Algol is considered to be a super powerful feminine force. It would take such an entity to protect the mighty GC! Algol is ready to stomp her feet and ‘invite’ you to travel, or takes you another place once the GC’s info has been bestowed, a place that needs the information the most.

Pluto rules Libra’s neighboring sign Scorpio. Libra is light, Scorpio is dark. Libra understands opposites, complements. Pluto is in Capricorn a challenging square sign to Libra. They both want certain proprieties but Libra can be nervous of Capricorn’s demands, at worst quashed. Libra loves the arts; Capricorn is more practical. Cap can help Libra get up into business, while Libra can help him polish his manners and make his products more attractive. Algol is in Taurus, the first Venus sign, a sensual touch loving earthy beauty sign! Libra, an air sign, may love perfumes and dance, but more sophisticated styles. The Galactic Center is in fiery Sagittarius, enjoying lots of laughs and adventure stories, is not on anyone’s schedule! Libra generally prefers a more gentile pace, more quiet conversation over tea, and formal by invitation or appointment meetings, tête-à-têtes. Libra will find themselves being pressed to use their negotiating skills – tact and diplomacy, and loosening up in spite of themselves! They will be blessed with more freedom! 

On a fine New Moon night, things are blended, no Moonlight or shadows. There is a certain equality as the playing field is equalized. It seems more quiet, even subdued, without the contrasts and sharp edges. Sleep can be deeper. Even if there is a breeze, there are no moving shadows… 

Power up your engines, seek intelligent changes and very special people!

Aries/Libra Full Hunter’s Moon! 

Wednesday October 20, 27 Aries/Libra 26, at 7:57 AM Pacific!

Let beauty surround you while you are making a difference!

Reader Wendy Zuhoski, who often sends us photos from her early morning walks along the water in New Suffolk, captured this year’s Hunter’s Moon early Saturday morning. NORTHFORKER on OCTOBER 20th, 2013

In the old days, not so long ago, hunting was serious business for stocking winter food. These days you may be searching the internet, looking for the love of your life, seeking the perfect work, stalking beauty with your camera, be looking for ‘God.’ Hunting requires many skills and is different per hunter, what you are seeking, and times change the methods. An Aries Moon is a bold hunter, scares the prey into the open, hunts bigger and faster game. Speed may be crucial. Libra Sun wants it to be an honorable hunt, respect for the prey, a fair chance given, impeccable techniques, no cruelty. Plant lovers want no crushed plants or trampled endangered species, or stolen plants. Animal lovers want no harmed kittens, pups or cubs or moms. Bird lovers want undisturbed habitat, no nesting threatened. Modern hunting has a new set of ethics. We need to grant the same courtesies, care and respectful caution to each other as our hunts in life overlap each other’s. 

27 Degree Sequence for SIX months! 2021 Oct, Nov, Dec and 2022 Jan, Feb, and Mar start a ‘season’ of six Full Moons at 27 degrees Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo. Fixed stars Polaris – the North Star, Betelgeuse in Orion are at 28 Gemini, and Procyon 25 Cn 47 will give varying additional effects per their type of connections with those signs. Those of you with chart factors 26 to 29 will be engaged.  

The Full Moon chart pattern echos the New Moon, 3 planets still in Libra, but Venus has moved on into Sagittarius and Moon has reached the 180 position on the other side in Aries! Now she and Chiron are both holding the Aries position. Mercury retrograded back to degrees before the New Moon’s position. He has been in an 8 day station at 10 Libra since Oct 15, turned direct/forward Oct 18 and tomorrow, the 21st, is the last day of his 8 day station! Time to shake it and get going!

Mars is still prominent! Sun was with him Oct 7/8, the days following the New Moon, but they have been close together since. Moon is in Mars’ sign Aries, so there is a remembrance and affinity though opposite. In Aries, Moon is more frisky than usual, and in late degrees, she is excited to show off her new prowess! She conjuncted Chiron the healer/teacher the 18/19th, and Chiron also in Aries, shot her some inspiring leadership tricks she’s trying out! Sun is watching from across the wheel, excited by her speed and new talents, but also saying to himself, ‘Whoa, Woman, be careful, ok?!’ There may be a temptation to take her to the ballet class! Moon is pretty independent when she wants to be, and she’s so excited now suggestions may fall on deaf ears for the time being. Sun would like her on his team, so he will check in with her again later. They are both action signs and it is important now for them to complete making the connections that keep things going. Moon is making the last sales while Libra makes call backs, maybe offers special deals on long term purchases. Presentations in behalf of those they are helping may bring heartfelt donations that meet your deadlines. Good luck to you all and many thanks.

Mars has been pretty lucky. He trined the far out Jupiter in Aquarius just yesterday! He is fresh from the etheric zone, happily stunned, a little dizzy, thrilled to be with someone who can outdo him! He’s got ideas like never before! Moon made her sextile with Jupiter 18/19th, just after her Chiron encounter, so she is riding high as well. Write down everything they say. What seems nutty now will soon prove to have substance! 

But Mars is still to make his square with killer Pluto in Capricorn tomorrow the 21st/22nd! Sun and moon have previously made the their squares, Sun the 17th, Moon earlier, the same day as the Full Moon. They are fresh from their connections and will have current information Mars may need to do well, avoid pitfalls. The blast from Jupiter may give him just the mojo he needs to break through Pluto’s defenses! Jupiter has optimism and spectacular successes. Mars can quote these past prosperous ventures and good chance he will have Pluto’s ear. If Pluto likes what he hears, he will offer constructive sound advice, get the job done. Just be sure to have the lawyers write it up and signed. Be sure the part you are offering is named and properly valued.

At a personal level, Mars and Pluto both need to be careful. Libra is devilishly clever and can act so innocent and charming. Pluto can seem like the experienced wise master, but you sign your life away. Mars can prod, dare, and challenge, bringing ego into play, and you are not yourself anymore. Pluto can seem like the one that will save your finances from harm, save your life, be all he says he will be and you are married. He can have a great reputation and be deceitful. Both could be violent together. Oops. I would tend not to sign any papers at this time. Wait, give it plenty of time. So you might miss the boat, not make that million, but there might be a blessing in disguise, that saves you from yourself and whatever might have been. One whiff of doubt could mean it’s not for you at this time. Err on the side of caution. Take it easy, breathe. Be at peace.  

Mercury in Libra has been steeping in that 8 day station, less than one degree opposite that fast thinking Chiron who is making medical and teaching changes faster than anyone could think would ever happen. Very timely to help with the pandemic. Mercury retrograde has been sifting over recent ground, finding any errors, regrouping some ideas, better solutions are emerging. Libra is a pro at comparisons, sees when things are out of pattern, balance or likelihood. Relationships of all kinds are being juxtaposed, assessed for competency, potential success. Negotiations are proceeding out of the box!

Venus is at 14 Sagittarius, connected obliquely with Uranus the Aquarian planet yesterday! Uranus is in Taurus, Venus’s base sign. Considering our daily earthly needs is fundamental and needs a lot of changing and soon. Venus is now planning big and long term with monies collected at the New Moon. She wants to travel to get perspective, learn firsthand how others are tipping the scales. She wants to get the feel of how the leaders are succeeding or failing. She is confident she has some great advisors that can turn the tables. She invites the group to some play time together, to have a few laughs. Opening a school would speed things up, an international school would do the job. Uranus has plenty of shocking, wakeup ideas that would make on-the-ground videos really come alive!  

Saturn at 6 Aquarius 57 and Neptune retrograde at 20 Pisces 52, are not in active planetary aspects. Saturn has plenty to do on his own. He’s building a whole new planet for us! Volunteers welcome. Neptune tends to the dreams, the systems in play for miracles every minute, transcendence. Visions in films, music magic, will speak for him. Though they make no aspects, you with those degree factors in your charts will be tuned to them.

Reflect the beauty that surrounds you ~ may you meet all your challenges with honor!
