Sagittarius New Moon! 

Tuesday November 26 New Moon at 7:06 AM Pacific, 4 Sagittarius 03 

Six months 4 degree sequence! Tightly networked chart is going places! 

Traveling has its advantages! Milky Way, Geminid Meteors & Andromeda Galaxy by Jamie Russell This pic was taken from Chale on the Isle of Wight in the UK. I saw hardly any meteors through the evening but as I drove along this road I saw one come down in front of me, so I pulled over in the car and set up my camera.

2019 Oct, Nov, Dec and 2020 Jan, Feb, Mar New Moons are all at 4 degrees, a SIX months sequence! The signs are Libra, Scorpio, Sag, Cap, AQ and Pisces. All these Moons are sequentially resonant to each other! If you have factors at 4 degrees or very close to that, let’s say up to 2 to 3 degrees, in your astrology chart, they will be activated over and over. Each Moon being in a different Sign, your chart will be activated from different angles each time, some more favorably than others. Plan out those 6 months with a goal in mind. Be prepared, do things favorable at each Moon Sign! Check out my write-ups, and those particular Moon write-ups online to get perspective. 

This is the first lunar event following Jupiter conjunct the Galactic Center Nov 19, the last of the profound set of aspects in Scorpio! The Galactic Center conjunction was in in Sagittarius and so is this New Moon. The frequency is the same. Things that didn’t seem to happen, or were not understood due to Mercury Retrograde in Station, may come to be known now. New Moons go deep in the dark, and revelation is common. Surrender to quiet, perhaps solitude, open your Spirit. See if there is a follow-up transmission. If you are doing a Sagly trek or exploration, you may intuit a new Path that couldn’t be seen for the distracting clamoring of daylight’s bright Sun. The New Moon will occur at different times of day worldwide. In Pacific time it will start our day at 7:06 AM. Let the Moon/Sun merger give you a potent hint and a great send off!

Though Jupiter isn’t in Capricorn yet, will be Dec 2, it is already square Chiron in Aries. It will be exact Dec 8. While in Sagittarius it will be scouting, confirming, finishing its programs, roving widely as possible to get the last bits of learning that will make a difference, especially in healing! It is excited about the new potentials. When it gets into Capricorn there will be an adjustment period first, then into a leaning forward mode to get things done! And Sagittarius can lean into things, LOL. In Capricorn, the horse will be focused and powerful. Capricorn will be slightly taken aback by the whirlwind of activity, but Cappie is the grand master of organization and getting to the heart of matters! Now, Aries isn’t so happy if they try to push him around. Chiron is the old shamanic master, and in Aries can let go the arsenal if he feels it’s necessary. You can threaten him with the law, but he was the one that saved you and you owe him a debt, so have a little respect, ha, ha! Things will even out given a little time. Chiron is always looking for what’s new and he’s faster than slick in Aries. Give him some parameters then let him go for it! Do the research using his ancient healing techniques but in a new way!

Moon and Sun are at the same degree as Mars in Scorpio now behind them. Some secrets may come to Light due to the telling actions Mars takes. He doesn’t tell, but he acts as if…leading you to further action in behalf of Justice. Mars may inspire a story to be told, a teaching to be addressed. This one is more fact, Mars having lived it or known the one who did, than fiction. He may know where the funding came from, the motives that hadn’t previously been known. He may hold the key to the source of healing, the cause behind the symptoms. He might create the link required to make a great network in behalf of a super cause. And he’s super sexy charismatic, so don’t be surprised if there are a few groupies who tag along!

Venus in Capricorn is sextile Mars. Mars may be headstrong, but she holds the reigns gently and he responds so not to harm her. She seems wise before her time, so he listens to her too. She puts attainable beauty before him and he is touched to be included. What could have seemed like being alone, the guardian at the gates as always, Mars is invited in, treated honorably, with appreciation and affection. She might be his boss, but she knows how to use him in a good way, keeping in mind what he can do and wants, so he doesn’t mind and they are joyfully productive. Their product is a success!

Moon and Sun have just left an oblique connection with Uranus the planet of networking. They saw that part of the network has been stabilized; part of it is still loose and unpredictable. Uranus in Taurus is trying to simplify and develop the gaps with sincere advocates. Uranus, the futurist, is aware of what can be crisis circumstances that we will have to act on immediately to avoid consequences of magnitude for our Earth and her people. Sagittarius has been prompted to get the word out with illustrations, comparisons. They are the very ones that can give the perspective needed, the wakeup call to action.

Mars just felt the Uranus electric sizzle across the land and found himself a little more lively, willing to take a bigger chance. Mars in Scorpio has intense knowledge, strength and courage, so may be pleased for the update, secretly happily scared and shocked! It’s thrilling to find a new challenge that simply can’t be dismissed out of hand! Since Uranus is in self preservationist Taurus, Mars feels it is a safe bet, so proceeds. Mars likes working alone though may have a silent partner. Uranus can do alone or large networks. With this encounter, Mars knows there is help if he needs it. There are plenty of options to consult about if he needs to sort out what his next step will be. This in turn is all being translated to Moon and Sun. Sagittarius loves new adventures and will be faithful carrying out Mars’ suggestions!

Mercury, still in Scorpio, is now well beyond the retrograde, but is still finishing the third, the finishing phase of it’s cycle until Dec 7. There is a continuing contemplation of what is a keeper from the Scorpio events, and what needs to be cleared from our consciousness. When things are cleared, is the space cleansed and maintained for the next arrival in our awareness? Keep it clear. It’s ok to have vacancy waiting for tenancy. Mercury is curious and feels a little odd in this condition, but it is one of the talents of the business of doing thinking.

Mercury is trine Neptune in Pisces, his own sign. Mercury in Scorpio is both logical and intuitive about financial affairs, behind the scenes liaisons, relationships. Mercury has discretion, knows when someone is in need, maybe dire need but the person doesn’t know it himself, or he masks it and others aren’t concerned yet. Mercury has a potent capacity to help this situation. Many times there are things we can’t do only by ourselves and if Mercury calls it, you all get going right now. This is a season when help is often needed. Be kind to each other, even if you are hurting yourself, even if you don’t like that person. There can be a lot going on that you don’t know about. With Neptune that ability for Mercury to ‘see,’ is ever so more potent. It can be used to make a spiritual choice, to make art that touches your Soul, make music that is so charismatic in the spiritual sense you find yourself with tears running down your cheeks and you didn’t know you were crying. It may be time to realize after all these years to forgive, to release, give profound gratitude. There but for the Grace of God go I….

Mercury in Scorpio will then sextile Saturn is his own sign Capricorn. And Saturn is next to Pluto, Scorpio’s planet. Saturn/Capricorn are both a planet and sign of submission and achievement. When we accept the terms of our Soul’s purpose, our dedication becomes 100% without really even thinking about it. Yet it may be time for Mercury to sound the call. We try to keep secrets from ourselves, but that creates a divine itch, LOL! Once Saturn gets to work, things fly! Saturn is precise, doesn’t waste time or materials. Mercury in Scorpio thrives in this intense, busy atmosphere, scurrying around carrying messages, making orders, gets great deals, even funding if needed! Remarkable! Believe me, they will be ready for the Jan 12 2020 Saturn conjunct Pluto!

Jupiter and Venus have what we call an ‘out of sign’ conjunction in neighboring signs. They are lucky and sweet together. Jupiter is still in his own sign Sagittarius, but Dec 2 goes into Capricorn. This is his last lunar event in Sagittarius for 12 years to come! Venus is just into Capricorn, sweetening the way. In these final days, Jupiter is putting finishing touches on his travel reminiscences, the project currently afoot, any last minute publishing, teaching students what he feels what is most important before going into their new year and Jupiter’s new sign. Venus is helping him make sufficient plans to make the transition, sign up for what will help him be in the right place at the right time, make connections with experienced colleagues and people in charge who will make it a smooth transition. They will cheer him, welcome him and be glad for his arrival! With Jupiter’s arrival there will no longer be three outer planets in their own signs. Instead, there will then be three outer planets in Capricorn, and with Venus there too, four in Capricorn!

Venus is also trine Uranus in those strong Earth signs! Things will fairly glide into place, make the winning gravelly skid to home plate! Jupiter can either arrive on his own, a loner genius, or he will arrive into a group of co-workers united in purpose to make change. There can be a cooperative collective ready to do business. Could be humanitarian work, environmental purpose, research for all manner of matters including heavenly scents! Venus is looking for the Blessing Way. She gives her gifts of beauty, graces the order, heightens awareness of the value of their projects, calls for timeliness all can accept.

Chiron in Aries & Uranus in Taurus continue humming along in their semisextile. They are will be completing their 13 years long journey together in 2021. For now they are closely together in the background…a small but potent aspect. Uranus is becoming more Shamanic. Chiron is acquiring a more humanistic range of healing and teaching. See more about Chiron/Uranus 


More about the Amazing Sequence of World Aspects we are currently part of!

We are in an impressive sequence of unusual aspects that started with the Oct 30, 2018 Pluto conjunct the Ecliptic at 18 Capricorn! June 16  & 18 2019 Jupiter then Saturn were with Neptune at 18 Pisces. The eleven months of Jupiter/Saturn Neptune aspects finished Nov 8, led up to the Nov 11 Transit of Mercury Retrograde Eclipse of the Sun at 18 Scorpio! And its sister aspect Nov 19 was Jupiter conjunct the Galactic Center at 27 Sagittarius. Those in turn prepare us for the 22 Capricorn Jan 12, 2020 Saturn Conjunct Pluto and the Mar 21 4 Planet Capricorn Stellium, The Crown! at 23-29 Capricorn as Saturn changes signs into Aquarius! April 4, 2020 starts a three time Jupiter conjunct Pluto sequence. As Saturn prepped with demolition, Jupiter will clean out the remaining nest then regroup and prosper. The Nov 12, 2020 Jupiter conjunct Pluto is at 22 Capricorn, exactly the same degree and sign as the Jan 12 Saturn conjunct Pluto. Jupiter conjunct Pluto follows and is the closest aspect to the 2020 Presidential Elections Nov 3! Important things that happen on or about Jan 12, 2020 will be on the table at election time.

Pluto is now at 21 Capricorn, very close to the 22/23 degree events! 

Pluto will be at 23° when the 4 planet Capricorn stellium forms Mar 21, 2020! There are extremes of prediction for the January, March 2020 events. End of the world, economic collapse, bankruptcy, death, on one side. On the other is resurrection, astounding long awaited revelations through science, wealth beyond measure, serious gains made with climate control! Two sides of the same coin. They will both be happening at once symbolically. There will be making messes and cleaning up messes. There can be bitter hate to profound regard. You can see there will be dramatic opposites, prolonged controversy. Many will be airing their dirty linen, like it or not, so keep yours clean. These aspects will have prime significance to the Nov 3 2020 Presidential Election because they are precisely astrologically linked to it! Again, some things that happen on or about Jan 12, 2020 will be on the table at election time.

Those of you with factors in your charts close to 18 and 22/23 and 27 degrees have been and/or will be connected to these world events. You can help or hinder or be hindered and helped! We’re counting on you to be keepers of the important informations, sacred wisdom, that are transmitted at these times – even if those are difficult times for you. You are the Guardians and will distribute valuable portions of information in potent places where it will do the most good, be effective, grow. We honor your place, for being here this way for us.

Thank you, Sagittarians, for keeping our perspective during the years long chain of events we are having. It is being quite a Journey!

Gemini – Sagittarius Full Cold Moon! 

December 11 at 9:12 PM Pacific, eastern zone on the 12th, Wednesday/Thursday, 19 Gemini/Sagittarius 52

Caution and Optimism! Four planet Capricorn Stellium – Saturn, Venus, Pluto Sequence!

It’s just like Sagittarius to have a ‘rainbow,’ the spiritual arrow’s arc, over his Full Moon mate in Gemini!

Scorpio held powerful events during Mercury Retrograde in Scorpio! The Transit of Mercury was during the stand-still station of Mercury. The Full Moon was the next day, spreading its wings wide open, Taurus grounding, Scorpio taking it all in deeply. Nov 19 brought Jupiter conjunct the Galactic Center. They were/are part of an amazing sequence that started Oct 2018 and continues through the 2020 Presidential Election. This Full Moon will carry the information, teachings to siblings, neighbors, the ‘hood – Gemini. In Sagittarius it spreads the seeds while traveling to the ends of the earth! 

Jupiter is in Capricorn now! Jupiter is the Sagittarian planet. Jupiter is no longer in his own sign, but now, in his neighboring sign. They will combine their talents. There will be formidable propositions and plans to carry through. Jupiter widens Capricorn eyes and Capricorn gets the team working full steam! There will be grand accomplishments! Jupiter makes it a four planet stellium in Capricorn!

This is the last Full Moon before Winter Solstice, for some the true New Year. Due to astronomical phenomena, this will be a dusk till dawn Full Moon! In a manner of speaking, Mother Moon takes on the position of Father Sun on a long winter night. The emphasis of Gemini/Sagittarius is thoughtfulness, how you communicate. The holidays usually bring family stresses. More than ever it’s not what you say but when and how you say it. Gemini and Sag love to share, but please be considerate. Is this a good time to chat? Their main purpose is to spread the good word. Go gently when you know there are differences. No marathons so we get tired. Do stop to listen and receive your own share too! Listening is the other half of communication. Thank the other person and tell them you will be thinking about what they said. Honor them as you would like to be honored.

Gemini Moon gathers data, learns the languages; Sun in Sagittarius distributes it in full meaning with ideas for the best direction to take! What was thought to be a bunch of facts and figures becomes a purpose! There are big results the dreamers have been waiting for! 

The Full Moon has a lot of connections! The 19 degree Full Moon is exactly connected with a Saturn sequence in Capricorn! Saturn is at 19, Venus at 20, Pluto at 21! It is separating from a Neptune T Square. Mars is now exactly trine Neptune and sextiles the Capricorn sequence!

• The Full Moon axis has left Neptune by four degrees, but they are still entranced by his ideas, insights, observations, dreams and visions. Some were personal, some were planetary. Consciousness is changing at a rapid rate now with climate shifts, political, economic, human rights matters including mass shootings done by children. Empathy, compassion and mercy or what? How do we find the words, tell the story, make changes that work? Gemini and Sagittarius are at a crossroads of humanity trying to find the way. People are facing their very Souls with environmental dangers and safety for their children and loved ones.
  
  
• Mars is mid Scorpio on his feet. He feels Neptune’s urgency to clear a path through fears, desperation, hate, grief, confusion. Scorpio is a sign of purification, the Phoenix rising from his own ashes that we may die to life. Mars is fearless and in Scorpio either a menace or a shamanic first responder! If you need help, go see this healer to cauterize your wounds of the past and move on. We need your skills now. Mars in Scorpio may work silently, from behind, within, but has a potency of leadership nonetheless. Coupled with Neptune’s psychic guidance, they don’t miss the mark.
  
  
• Adding to this is Mars sextile Saturn, Venus and Pluto in Capricorn! Mars sometimes butts heads with Capricorn orders and rules, but they are in compatible signs, and Mars’ sign Scorpio’s planet Pluto is there too. They can do this. There is nothing silly about Mars in Scorpio, and Saturn/Capricorn want precision and results. They all agree. Venus adds her sense of attraction to Scorpio/Pluto’s charisma. They do things nobody else could ever do! She glides right through the center and others go right after her, trusting her innate ability to assess value. She’s quite the appraiser! Time is of the essence to save things that cannot be replaced or to restore before forgotten. This is an extremely intense combination. Just what we need!
  
  
• Moon is inconjunct, oblique with Saturn. She is a nurturer and sees when he is beyond tired. Venus has been leading Saturn on over the last thresholds, grooming him for the work still needing to be done before the Jan 12, 2020 conjunction with Pluto. Success, achievements hard won, are exhilarating! Along the way it is important to take time out so there is no burnout. Mind yourself – get reasonable exercise, rest. Let Mother Moon bring good quality food and water. Take care of each other when you notice one of the team is lagging. Get away for a bit, talk with some people not in the fray!  
  
  
• Sun was semisextile Saturn, but is now closer to Venus. Sun adds his light and warmth while the others work on tough projects, at times seeming like there is little gratitude. So many don’t want, or don’t know about what they are doing and it seems like they are working out in the cold. Sun’s recognition of the great effort they are making is very welcome. Sagittarius, and Jupiter, Sag’s planet now in Capricorn are cheering them on at the crescendo of the preparatory work they are steadfastly attending. It’s short time now to Jan 12.
  
  
• Venus with Pluto! It’s a work party or a lovers tryst at work. Be careful to do the right thing, LOL! If you both are innocent, just don’t get caught. Venus and Pluto both love lots of money. Venus might buy, buy, buy, or invest every cent and do very well, especially with Pluto as her guide to the inside news! Pluto may be delighted by connecting with her or see that she is out for herself. She can be greedy or the Grace of love, beauty, kindness. Get to know her first. And same words for her about Pluto – get to know him first. Try not to elope. Her recent visit with Saturn may keep her honorable and there may be some karmic affinity. Also she may be inspired to fund the project when she sees Saturn’s sincerity and dedication. Saturn with Pluto can be remarkably successful financially or make a worst mistake and drain the coffers to bankruptcy. This might be one of those times ‘When in doubt, don’t’ or invest only a little to test the waters over some time to let it prove itself. Venus may somehow save the day with an offhand remark.

Mercury in Sagittarius is now at the exact degree the New Moon was at on Nov 25! If you have New Moon memories, this reminder may be perfectly timed. Renew your connections, get more information to do your plans. Mercury has been obliquely connected with Uranus in Taurus. Mercury becomes aware of some pertinent changes that will make a long term difference. they could be exotic, unheard of, yet make admirable good sense! Let some friends go; move along and make some new connections. Surprises are in the offing.

Jupiter, the Sagittarius planet, made that square with Chiron in Aries Dec 8! This being only 3 days later, Moon and Sun are still mulling things over, scrambling to get things back in working order, incorporating the new plans. The potential has expanded, again! Going to be better than before. It’s possible new discoveries have been made or being on the leading edge, we are on the brink! Suspense is lovely! See more with the New Moon! See about the Square!

Virgo New SuperMoon! Black Moon?! Summer Stelliums!

Friday August 30 at 3:37 AM Pacific, 6 Virgo 47!

SuperMoon, Virgo Frisky 5 then 4 Planet Personal Stelliums activating 4 Planets 21 Days! 

Virgos are marvelously crafty, and sometime veterinarians! A charmingly beautiful Celtic art quilt showing extraordinary craftsmanship, inspiring composition of design and color by artist Kathy McNeil, international awards winner! Asking price $8000.

► If you live East of the US, this is the second of two New Moons in August, the second one called a Black Moon! 

This New Moon is the second in a ‘season’ of three Super New Moons, July 31/August 1, August 30 – the closest, and September 28. They will be brighter and may appear bigger! More about Super Moons! Per NOAA, Santa Barbara CA tides will have a high Aug 29 of 6.83′ tide and Aug 30 a low of -0.91′ straddling the New Moon! The high is not very high, but the low is quite low for summer tides here. Time to walk the tide pools! 

This Moon is also part of a Uranian sequence of trine aspects that starts Aug 26 and proceeds until Sep 1! See more!

Mercury is completely done with its retrograde cycle in Cancer/Leo. He is now finely and comfortably ensconced in one of his own signs, Virgo! This is a mighty Moon sporting a frisky FIVE planet VIRGO stellium of ALL the inner planets, personal! It includes that Mercury, packed in a tight line up 2 to 11 degrees – 2, 6, 6, 7 and 11 degrees!! Mercury rules siblings and neighbors! Moon is your family and Mom/children. Sun is you and your heart of Light! Mars is the personal action you take, and Venus is what you want for your own! All personal. It started late afternoon the 29th. Soon as Moon leaves Virgo, the 31st at 4:08 PM Pacific, to enter Libra, it becomes a four planet stellium! That will hold until Mercury and Venus enter Libra early the 14th, then, poof, it’s over! That’s a lot of Virgo for 16 days! 

Moon makes 3 juicy conjunctions on the 30th! Potent for better or worse! Since the planets are so close together, each one touches off the whole kit and caboodle!  

• Moon to Sun – Virgo New SuperMoon 3:37 AM Pacific!  Feeling the Light of your Well Being or the things that are out of order, work or health matters.
• Moon to Mars  Feeling your passion, itching to get moving! Sometimes grumpy, pushy, overdoing it.
• Moon to Venus  Feeling your Beauty, making your home sweet and pretty! Uh, self indulgence…nutritious breakfast treats!

The first outer planet to get the full Virgo treatment is Saturn, 14 Capricorn, in its own sign, along with Pluto at 20 Capricorn. Trines. 

• Moon trines Saturn the same day, 3:14 PM. They can get a LOT done!
• Venus trines Saturn Sep 1st. The details are finessed, quality and beauty bring additional value. Sales are up. 
• Mercury trines Saturn the 5th. Thoughts and discussion on how to build the project. Precise planning and excellent production.
• Sun trines Saturn the 6th. Sun gives a personal touch, the achievement is glorious and everyone is so proud!
• Mars trines Saturn the 8th.  Super leadership! It’s astonishing how quickly the innovative ideas are put in place! More sales!

The trines to Pluto form after the ones with Saturn. With Saturn the template has been established. Now it’s time to broker a deal.

• Moon – Pluto Aug 31 seeks family and community support or support of women maybe in behalf of children. A safe house where gentle healing can happen. Property having hidden values is discovered.  
• Venus – Pluto Sep 6 can seek a powerful mate, give a fundraiser ball, establish an art gallery with more charisma than the Goddess!
• Mercury – Pluto the 8th finds records of the past that make or break the future. Research provides potent answers to possibilities long forgotten. Renovation is key. How the story is told makes a huge difference.
• Sun – Pluto the 13th puts light in dark corners. Reappraisal opens us up to better choices. Rebirth may not be easy, but in the long term proves worth it.
• Mars – Pluto brews until the 19th. Mars prods and adds his fire to the cauldron, now burning brightly! Once the dross is burned away, the revision is complete, it’s time for a new vision to be put in place! Pluto’s Kundalini is reawakened!

Saturn is followed by Jupiter, 15 Sagittarius, in his own sign. Timewise, Saturn is first, then Pluto, with Jupiter and Neptune mingling between/among them! Virgo makes squares with Jupiter, challenges. Caution. Give time to let these play out, see the big picture..

• Moon – Jupiter same day as the SuperMoon. Moon doesn’t feel comfortable with those plans yet may be inspired anyway. Jupiter generally has good intentions, but don’t run away with my daughter!
• Venus – Jupiter Sep 2 likely changes the plans. There are disagreements on where to go and why. Venus wants to see the fine art textiles but Jupiter is into looking at campers and outdoor gear, maybe a high bred dog or a horse. Venus wants health food; Jupiter wants international cuisine healthy or not. 
• Mercury – Jupiter the 6th wants the information, facts; Jupiter wants to know the perspective behind them, the story, what they mean and what the plan is. Mercury likes myriads while Jupiter may want to get to the point. Mercury wants to know if it is the Truth or is gossip, slander, exaggeration.
• Sun – Jupiter the 8th. Sun wants to know how the plan affects him personally. For him it’s not just fancy ethics or impressive sweeping plans that may or may not work out. He may be intrigued with several ideas but now may not be the time, or there is a breakthrough and a thought-to-be long lost plan comes through after all. If Jupiter runs off, Sun may be heartbroken…
• Mars – Jupiter the 12th, may be mad as hornets at time lost having been misled by wished for promises! Not funny at all. If he ever catches that thief of time… If Jupiter is cavalier, Mars in Virgo is not. If Jupiter is lazy and procrastinating, Mars will get him moving. There are no idle threats about consequences. Mars in Virgo is always on the lookout for new medicines, and if Jupiter has come across cultural herbal remedies in his travels, Mars may be quite pleased when he discovers they really work.    

Next to last is outer planet magical Neptune, 17 Pisces, in its own sign. Virgo is opposite Pisces, so there may be a challenge making the connection, a handshake across the table, or no connection is possible at this time.

• Moon – Neptune same day as the SuperMoon. Moon and Neptune can be tender together. Virgo wants to organize Neptune in Pisces, but that will never happen to dreams, visions, psychic perception that has no schedule or need for accomplishment. Perception occurs naturally as it will in Spirit. If Virgo can let that be, there can be an exchange. Virgo can somewhat extract the information and place it well. Virgo can be guided by Neptune’s non logical insights. There are no documents, or research to be had or made. The way to get the most return is to leave it alone. It will come at the ‘right’ time.
• Venus – Neptune the 4th sees the magical value of Neptune’s visionary artistic qualities the minute she lays eyes on him. In Virgo she wants to learn how to make those lovely things, and may wish to spend time, even a lifetime at his feet. Venus will likely give Neptune appreciation of minute flawless talents few have ever seen in him. Neptune may see her hard Virgo edges, but he understands the fine edge of her exquisite perception. For her sake he wishes he could be more clear.
• Mercury – Neptune the 7th soon learns words are not the only medium of perception. Neptune doesn’t necessarily have the training, or knowledge, but can understand anyway. Mercury in Virgo can have tad of a bite, criticism. It may be accurate, but may not be helpful. Mercury still seeks the wisdom of the old Soul Pisces, so immerses himself in Pisces’ mystical surroundings. They dream together; their dreams mingle. One feels as if the other is speaking his own words. Mercury may find he has words in him he has never known before. Mercury can tell Neptune’s dream story that all may be inspired.
• Sun – Neptune the 10th. Things have progressed. By now there have been many connections formed among these planets. Sun is himself all right, but when he looks into the Dreamer’s eyes, he is lost in a different realm. The blazing Virgo organizer, so full of pride, feeling safe in his self-made wraps, is melted, blended, muted, yet empowered! How can that be?! It’s a different kind of order, an order of immense limitless possibilities! Losing yourself only to find another dimension of your capacity is scary, breathtaking, takes some getting used to!
• Mars – Neptune is on the Harvest Moon, the 13th/14th! Mars in Virgo loves walking on solid ground. With Neptune he could be flooded, doing creek crossings, feel legless. Definitely a different medium. It’s hard to pick a fight or criticize, challenge, want to win, when the other entity doesn’t care. Pisces prefers peace and solitude if at all possible. It can wait centuries, where Mars wants what he wants right now! But Mars is a quick learner and adapts to using less energy to get further ahead! Yep. He lets the waves wash over him and goes with the flow, surfs the vastitudes! No ticket, no $ needed. And Spirit is a big place! The wonder of it all…   

So, Saturn, Jupiter, Neptune, then Pluto, all get the Virgo treatment from all FIVE of the Virgo planets – that’s 20 aspects en total! That includes the 16 days of 5, then 4 plants in Virgo through early the 14th! You see the complexity. Virgo loves cleaning up messes. We will all be getting more clear and functional in this short but potent period from Aug 30th to Sep 19th, only 21 days! Clearly, it will be complex. I’ve written out the aspects separately, briefly, but they are overlapping and several happening concurrently! They span the New SuperMoon to past the Harvest Moon! If you figure you already lead a pretty clear life, you are now ready for the next level, and, believe me, it will come. It will be a blessing you didn’t know you could have. Revelation and Evolution are the names of the game!

In a tally of the number of aspects Aug 30 through Sep 19, Aug 30, Sept 6 and 8 have three aspects each. Almost all the other dates have one, Sep 13 has two. In respect of these stellium activation aspects, the 4th through the 8th/9th will be a tad intense. If you have upcoming events or want to plan events at these times, you may want to check with your astrologer to see how these combine or not with your chart and your events.

Virgo hosts the biggest aspect of this current time! Jupiter has remained closely in square with Neptune since Dec 28, 2018 and is about to make the third and last square during Virgo on Sep 21. The first square was the first aspect of 2019 on Jan 13! Jupiter squared and Saturn sextiled Neptune June 16 and 18. Jupiter makes this last square well before Saturn makes its last sextile Nov 8. Jupiter has brought some colossal misunderstandings and has questioned and revealed the truth of some of our beliefs and plans. Saturn makes the final decisions in view of possible consequences. For almost a year there have been reconsiderations and trials. Their 11 month cycle finishes within days of the Nov 11 Transit of Mercury Eclipse and sister aspect Nov 19 Jupiter conjunct the Galactic Center, an uncommon pairing.  See more about Jupiter Square Neptune!   Saturn sextile Neptune!   

Saturn traveling with Pluto in Capricorn has been and continues to carry some serious weight. Saturn is retrograde in Capricorn, still traveling closely at the Moon’s South Node. There is a karmic condition that needs righting, forgiving. Old fears need to be released, power used correctly. Dharma, the work of the Soul, is the replacement. Take responsibility, stay steadfastly on mission, rebuild, upgrade. Meet your tests, give gratitude, have a workable humility. Be clean and kind in your authority. Stay aware of the time frame, priorities. Neptune sextile/trine the Nodes and the final November Saturn sextile Neptune will help. Trust your intuition, remember the long range needs of the planet and all her peoples, plants and creatures. Collaborate. Keep your dreams in mind.

Chiron in Aries & Uranus in Taurus continue humming along in their semisextile. They are will be completing their 13 years long journey together in 2021. For now they are closely together in the background…a small but potent aspect. Uranus is becoming more Shamanic. Chiron is acquiring a more humanistic range of healing and teaching. See more about Chiron/Uranus 

Amazing Sequence of World Aspects we are currently part of!

We are in an impressive sequence of unusual aspects that started with the Oct 30, 2018 Pluto conjunct the Ecliptic at 18 Capricorn! June 16 & 18 2019 Jupiter then Saturn were with Neptune at 18 Pisces. The nine months of Jupiter/Saturn Neptune aspects lead up to the Nov 11 Transit of Mercury Retrograde Eclipse of the Sun at 18 Scorpio! And its sister aspect Nov 19 is Jupiter conjunct the Galactic Center at 27 Sagittarius. Those in turn prepare us for the 22 Capricorn Jan 12, 2020 Saturn Conjunct Pluto and the Mar 21 4 Planet Capricorn Stellium, The Crown! at 23-29 Capricorn as Saturn changes signs! April 4, 2020 starts a three time Jupiter conjunct Pluto sequence. As Saturn prepped with demolition, Jupiter will clean out the remaining nest then regroup and prosper. The Nov 12, 2020 Jupiter conjunct Pluto is at 22 Capricorn, exactly the same degree and sign as the Jan 12 Saturn conjunct Pluto. Jupiter conjunct Pluto follows and is the closest aspect to the 2020 Presidential Elections Nov 3! Important things that happen on or about Jan 12, 2020 will be on the table at election time.

Neptune is now at 17 degrees, tuned to the Ecliptic and connected with the Transit of Mercury! Pluto is now at 20 Capricorn close to the 22/23 degree events!

Pluto will be at 23° when the 4 planet CP stellium forms Mar 21, 2020! There are extremes of prediction for the January, March 2020 events. End of the world, economic collapse, bankruptcy, death, on one side. On the other is resurrection, astounding long awaited revelations through science, wealth beyond measure, serious gains made with climate control! Two sides of the same coin. They will both be happening at once symbolically. There will be making messes and cleaning up messes. There can be bitter hate to profound regard. You can see there will be dramatic opposites, prolonged controversy. Many will be airing their dirty linen, like it or not, so keep yours clean. These aspects will have prime significance to the Nov 3 2020 Presidential Election because they are precisely astrologically linked to it! Again, some things that happen on or about Jan 12, 2020 will be on the table at election time.

Those of you with factors in your charts close to 18 and 22/23 and 27 degrees will be connected to these world events. You can help or hinder or be hindered and helped! We’re counting on you to be keepers of the important informations, sacred wisdom, that are transmitted at these times – even if those are difficult times for you. You are the Guardians and will distribute valuable portions of information in potent places where it will do the most good, be effective. We honor your place, for being here this way for us.

Virgos, we are counting on you to help us to keep important priorities!


It’s a calendar function! East of the US this is the Second New SuperMoon in August! A second one in a month is called a BLACK MOON!

Pisces-Virgo Full Harvest Micro Moon! 

September Friday the13th at 9:33 PM Pacific, 21 Pisces 05 

7 Factors Mystic Rectangle, 5 Factors TSquare – Jupiter at Midpoint!

The Full Moon of August 18, 2016 rises amid cloud over a wheat field. AstroPhotographer Alan Dyer

Our Harvest Moon is the year’s farthest and smallest full moon, a micro-moon!  It is exactly one fortnight after the Aug 30 New SuperMoon and one fortnight before the third and last 2019 New SuperMoon September 28, 2019. Thanks, EarthSky!

Harvest time is good old fashioned hard work time getting the crops in. Virgos love plants, healthy home grown crops, organizing for winter storage. Just barely, there are still 4 planets in Virgo to do the work, but that’s over after 6:43 AM Pacific on the 14th! At the Full Moon, Venus and Mercury are at the last degree of their sign, putting on the final touches – the last words and the grace and beauty that makes them sweet. They have acquired the skills they need that make the difference. At 6:48 AM Pacific, Mercury and Venus shall both have gone into Libra, not a sign of field labor! Mars and Sun, two fire planets, will be left to push the work to the finish. And they don’t mind. They like a challenge to use their prowess! Though Virgos are more often found in the office, they still like hiking, getting outdoors, tending their garden. Strenuous physical work and using their minds is a good balance for them.

Moon in Pisces holds the other side of our Harvest Moon scenario. Moon has just crossed the Pisces planet Neptune, so is reminded how much she values peace, quiet, beauty, sacred music, time to dream and wonder. No words are needed, Spirit is her Guide. She lingers like dew drops on a petal. Her imagination goes deep within and travels the heavens. It is a timeless journey offering many insights, compassion. She sees us all on the Human Journey, sometimes alone, sometimes together as One. How to express this comprehension can be done well by her Virgo counterpart. Virgo is the number one sign of authors. Virgos go for technique, sensible step by step progress. They are both apprentice and Master of the details of exquisite artistic skills.  

Moon/Neptune and Mars/Sun, plus Saturn at 13 Capricorn and the North Node at 15 Cancer, form what’ called a Mystic Rectangle – see how the blue and green lines are linked? Moon/Neptune are trine, in harmony with the Moon’s North Node in Cancer! They can use the South Node Capricorn skills of past lives, by understanding the fears of past hardships, and blend those talents with building community in today’s world. Both sides will be better for it. They are sextile Saturn and Pluto. Business can flourish with the guidance of these old masters. They are both in Capricorn with that South Node, stabilizing and empowering as they can. If they are rigid or controlling, a tad too conservative, Moon and Pisces can succinctly show them how changes will be of benefit and how the changes can be made smoothly with little expense or loss of time. There are opportunities awaiting. 

Sun/Mars are trine those two old hooligans, and are offering real immediate help getting off to a good start. Virgo tends the books, buys the needed goods at the best price for the best quality materials. And the project is worthy, even virtuous! It will be admired and the community will feel blessed for it. If you slip up, you may feel their eyes of criticism on you and no words may be needed for you to realize you need to stop whining and get back on track. But if you really want to learn more about it, they will be at your side, working shoulder to shoulder with you. They are quick on the uptake and prevent mistakes or quickly recover the losses. It’s a new time we are blessed to be in!

Jupiter in Sagittarius is 90° midpoint Neptune/Moon and Mars/Sun! That’s called a T Square. It happens that our Full Moon has passed the formation’s peak point, but is still close. Matters of plans to be made, where to travel to school or for business, what you believe in, are mostly settled, but still you wonder. Maybe a little more proof will be required. Credentials will matter. There is a combination of demand versus does it really matter, or should I go surfing in Hawaii?! Jupiter would rather play; Pisces will go either way; Virgo wants the job done and done well. Hmm… The other two may have already run away leaving Virgo to regroup, get help. Can’t do it all alone. However, if the cause is in the heart and Soul, Jupiter will spin out the inspiring plans, Pisces will intuitively guide the way and get the volunteers because it matters. Virgo will be thrilled because they want a more healthy and productive life for all! Virgo, Sag and Pisces are all what we call Mutable signs. They are experts at adapting, modifying and moving on! If the goal is bigger than any picky squabbles, and there may be some sand papery moments, but they will succeed! It’s worth it to give it a try!

The big stand alone aspect, as the months have gone by, is Jupiter square Neptune! Virgo hosts the biggest aspect of this current time! Jupiter has remained closely in square with Neptune since Dec 28, 2018 and is about to make the third and last square during Virgo on Sep 21. The first square was Jan 13, 2019. Jupiter squared and Saturn sextiled Neptune June 16 and 18. Jupiter makes this last square well before Saturn makes its last sextile Nov 8. Jupiter has brought some colossal misunderstandings and has questioned and revealed the truth of some of our beliefs and plans. Saturn makes the final decisions in view of possible consequences. For almost a year there have been reconsiderations and trials. Their 11 month cycle finishes within days of the Nov 11 Transit of Mercury Eclipse and sister aspect Nov 19 Jupiter conjunct the Galactic Center, an uncommon pairing.  See more about Jupiter Square Neptune!   Saturn sextile Neptune!   

Saturn traveling with Pluto in Capricorn has been and continues to carry some serious weight. Saturn is retrograde in Capricorn, still traveling closely at the Moon’s South Node. There is a karmic condition that needs righting, forgiving. Old fears need to be released, power used correctly. Dharma, the work of the Soul, is the replacement. Take responsibility, stay steadfastly on mission, rebuild, upgrade. Meet your tests, give gratitude, have a workable humility. Be clean and kind in your authority. Stay aware of the time frame, priorities. Neptune sextile/trine the Nodes and the final November Saturn sextile Neptune will help. Trust your intuition, remember the long range needs of the planet and all her peoples, plants and creatures. Collaborate. Keep your dreams in mind.

Chiron in Aries & Uranus in Taurus continue humming along in their semisextile. They are will be completing their 13 years long journey together in 2021. For now they are closely together in the background…a small but potent aspect. Uranus is becoming more Shamanic. Chiron is acquiring a more humanistic range of healing and teaching. See more about Chiron/Uranus 



The flip side of hardworking Virgo and this hardworking Full Harvest Moon is taking it easy, like going Forest Bathing. Doctors all over the world are recommending getting with Mother Nature, one of Virgo’s places for healing. In Scotland the Docs are issuing prescriptions for it! Virgo likes these totally free organic meds. Virgos used to be the Medicine men and women who knew the herbs, saved countless lives. Virgo is a prime sign of health, observant and caring. One day at a time they bring us back from disabling disharmony. Pisces needs time alone, quietness along with their natural musical rhythm, a place to dream, a place of surpassing peace. Restoring the Soul has always been a basic human requirement.

Mercury Retrograde Sagittarius, Galactic Center!

Sauk Mountain Trail Switchbacks, Rockport Washington 1,100′ Elevation gain

This is the last Mercury Retrograde of 2017! The next one will be in March 2018 in Aries, another fire sign! Revisions will be spirited! Last Rx, Leo/Virgo, I touted as the most significant of 2017 due to the US Total Solar Eclipse during the Rx and all the New & Full Moon connections! This one is important because it hosts Saturn’s 29 year sign connection with the Galactic Center, and its change from Sagittarius into its own sign Capricorn! Mercury guides us across this threshold, stirring things up so we see the living process of Father Time’s sign change.

While Saturn is still in Sagittarius, it is conjunct the GALACTIC CENTER, 26 Sagittarius, Nov 15 to 23! The Mercury Rx cycles starts Nov 15, so for the first 8 days of the Rx cycle, it is a time of ‘huge infusion,’ the portal to and through the Galaxy and beyond is available! And, the Nov 18 Scorpio New Moon makes us a more sensitive receiver, deepens our perceptions. Dec 17 the Sun makes its annual conjunction with the GC, but this time its the Sagittarius New Moon, Moon and Sun, AT the GC! Since it is during Mercury retrograde, it performs some kind of a retrieval, a remembrance, revives something that must be updated, regathered and not left behind.

In those 8 days Saturn is at the GC, Mercury is 13 to 24 degrees Sagittarius. Mercury will recross those degrees twice more, retrograde Dec 10-22, then when forward Dec 22 to Jan 6, finishing the Mercury Rx cycle. Mercury will itself conjunct the GC 3 times – Nov 26/27, Rx Dec 8 and Jan 7/8, 2018. At the times Mercury is in the degrees it was at when Saturn was at the GC, and when Mercury conjuncts the GC, take special time to check in, be more alert to signs. Ask that the highest be done and that you be shown how to get there, whether it is personal or for the world. Blessed be.

Switchbacks, retrogrades, make it easy to get up the mountain, make it possible! This Rx is in Sagittarius, and Sagittarius would surely be going up as the ascending arrow, its sign symbol, indicates. You do need to be careful that you don’t kick rocks off the trail, as there are often others below you.

As you ascend, the Sagittarian view just keeps getting bigger, more expansive, inclusive. You get a picture of the layout of the land and where the people are. You make adjustments in your thinking and attention. Unless you have been on that trail before, it’s still a guess if the next rise is the top or a false top with more yet to go. At the top it can be exhilarating, even if it is plenty hot, or cold as all get out plus a dangerous icy wind and slippery! Sometimes it’s a languishing picnic, fill-your-eyes rest stop, pictures of all directions, poses of prowess! Other times it’s a quick snap, we made it, let’s get down outta here! But you did it!

Use retrogrades fully by being alert, open to the broader view, new opportunities. As with mountain hikes, there are new visions around the corner, greater options possible, because the other planets keep right on moving, while Mercury is refreshing the screen and thinking things through. One step leads to another. Things absolutely do change! They are supposed to.

Dates, Degrees & Signs

The three part cycle starts Nov 15 at 13 Sag. Mercury goes up to 29 Sag, the very end of Sag, and retrogrades Dec 2, back to 13. He then turns forward, direct, Dec 22, the day after Winter Solstice (Saturn newly in Capricorn as of Dec 19) and goes back to 29 Sag on Jan 10, 2018, crosses the threshold into Capricorn that very day, and continues on into the New Year.

The Mutable signs, Gemini, Virgo, Sag and Pisces will be challenged. Earth signs Taurus and Capricorn prefer things stable and steady, but they are not exempt. Other fire, Aries and Leo, and air signs, Libra and Aquarius, will enjoy the shifts and changes! Mercury will midpoint sextile connect with Libra and Aquarius acting as their go between, plugging in astounding ideas just as fast as they can take them in. Have a party with all your Libra, Sag and AQ friends!

If the retrograde connects with your chart, here are some good tips!

Prepare well for the retrograde. Get mechanical items serviced – with Sag, that especially means vehicles, travel conveyances and image devices – cameras, video, telescopes, cell phones. Get new apps well in advance, and learn to use them with ease. Be sure traveling companions have all their shots, including your pets. Have your schedule handy. Keep your goals in mind, though don’t be surprised if they suddenly change directions!

During the retrograde, keep irreplaceable valuables with you. No stowing with your luggage in the hold. No important papers tossed in the backseat because you are in a hurry. Keep your keys in mind, slow down and don’t lock them in the car! You could temporarily put them on a tether device around your neck – glasses too. Mercury Rx is famous for losing things, though sometimes something lost in the last Rx turns up in the current one! Don’t forget to immediately change your appt book the minute an adjustment is made in your timing. Call in advance to be certain you are scheduled and at the time you think the appt is. Scout about for paperwork needed at least the day before. Do get people to sign things that need to be signed, including yourself! Make follow up appts because we know automatically things will require further adjustments. It isn’t done until the 3rd phase is done Jan 10!

Take big promises with a grain of salt. Sagittarians believe in big and better, but due to no fault of their own, things change and the deal can’t be made after all. They didn’t lie, they just didn’t know. During Mercury Rx, give the benefit of the doubt.  However, if one falls through, an even better one can happen! One just clears the way or leads to the next!

Never be afraid of a retrograde! It stirs the pot. Even as cherished ideas go up in flames, especially in Sagittarius, another door opens. Again, something better has the space to happen. Gather yourself. Grab it with your teeth and shake it for the best to fall out! Don’t let go until it does! Plan to use every precious bit of information that comes your way. The computer goes down? Get a better one, upgrade, get one better suited to your needs. A vacation falls through? Choose a better time and something more potent than your previous choice. Really look at it. You and circumstances have changed since you made that first plan. The dog eats your script? What you write next is surprisingly so much better! You were devastated at first, but now actually glad that happened! Your life will get better. Give it reasonable time and be proactive. The outcome depends partly on YOU! Be there!

After the Retrograde! In the third phase, the direct part when the retrograde is finishing, tidy up. Take a look at what you are left with, polish it, integrate it well. Make further plans with what goes well with you. Follow up on the best ideas. Get connected with some good people going your way! Grab one or two or three experienced consultants in your field and invite those people traveling your way. Hear them all out and merge some of your and their ideas and plans. Not all of their particular options may be ones you use now, maybe later, but they get you thinking! It’s likely to turn out much better than you expected! Collaboration makes things multiply! Each of you can promote the main project from your special vantage points!

There are three important outer planet factors during this Retrograde cycle! That’s not common since outer planets move more slowly. Here’s the timetable:

Nov 15 to 23 Saturn at Galactic Center degree, Mercury is at 13 to 24 degrees Sag
Nov 15  Mercury Retrograde starts first phase
Nov 18  Scorpio New Moon
Nov 25  1st Mercury trine Uranus
Nov 26/27 Mercury at Galactic Center degree
Nov 27  1st Mercury conjunct Saturn, Sagittarius

Jan  10  Three part cycle finishes, Mercury goes into Capricorn 9:09 PM Pacific
Jan  12  3rd Mercury conjunct Saturn, Capricorn
Jan  15  1st Jupiter sextile Pluto More on this soon….
Jan  16  Capricorn New Moon

RETROGRADE starts Dec 2 the same day as Jupiter, Sagittarius’s planet, trines Neptune. It is considered a Dreams-come-true aspect, travel and Soul healing. A good time to consult the Oracle’s Oracle, yet with Mercury starting his journey, all will not come out as predicted! Mercury in Sagittarius can lead Scorpio on, both can be a bit of tricksters. Mercury by nature, ruling Virgo, is opposite Pisces. Mercury co-rules Gemini, square Pisces, and in Sagittarius square Pisces, reports may be difficult to confirm, and even if confirmed, are not solid indicators. And yet Jupiter trine Neptune is considered wondrous, capable of significant miracles and psychic! Go eyes open, trust your core.

To add to it, the Dec 3 Gemini/Sagittarius Full Moon follows the next day! Gemini Moon sees a thousand facets; Sun in Sagittarius tries to gather them to a focus. Moon is intuitional and she knows when things are not in divine order in communications. She can be protective of the information held close to her bosom though Sag tries to tease her to tell. Mercury has two signs, Gemini is one. So he now in Sagittarius opposite Gemini, is at his most extensive range, with the Sun, is also circling for clues. Another scenario might be Sag is a bit opinionated; Moon floods him with ideas and data that alter his point of view. Moon provides vital information; Sagittarius takes it with him for upleveling, pondering as he goes. Mercury observes the exchange, new chapters will be written!

Saturn changes the game by leaving Sagittarius and going into his own sign Capricorn December 19 3 days before the Retrograde ends! That’s during the 8 day Rx/Direct (forward) station when Mercury appears to ‘stand still’ in the sky. There is a holding tank of information, a focus, a concentration of thought, an anchoring of ideas. With Saturn in Cap a serious tone descends. More is expected. It’s not just fun and contemplation. Things need to get done, responsibilities taken, papers signed. Saturn builds strong, expects you to exceed your past. They will help you if they can. Winter Solstice adds the Sun into Capricorn the day before Mercury turns Direct (out of Rx). Mercury instantly senses the shift and knows he needs to backup his hopes with solid evidence if possible to carry on, cross the breach, be in sync with the tidal shift.

At first he may not seem to catch on or keep up because he is in Station, standing still, 4 days before and after the turn point. He’s absorbing, assimilating, focusing, anchoring the plans. At this sacred time of Winter Solstice, the longest Nights, Mercury’s ideas and thinking patterns will be deepened, fortified. No matter how much Saturn may want Mercury on board, the plans that have been made, after much consideration, are not to be abandoned. Mercury will be holding the Sag Light until Jan 10, when he crosses the line into Capricorn to join Saturn. See more about Saturn’s sign shift

The three part cycle finishes the same day Mercury joins Saturn in Capricorn Jan 10. Mercury conjuncts Saturn Jan 12, Jupiter sextiles Pluto Jan 15! When it’s done, it’s done! Mercury, the Communicator, now out of Sag and in Capricorn, can present his ideas to Saturn in the way Saturn can understand since his sign is Capricorn! It will be up front and personal Jan 12 when they are together. Jupiter sextile Pluto wants volumes of healing, both personal, as couples and business partners. Jupiter knows when he has a tough room, yet he is amazing at telling the funny story and making them laugh anyway. He also knows when trust is an issue. Now in Scorpio, Jupiter knows about Pluto only too well. And Pluto in Capricorn is rarely fooled or made to do anything he doesn’t want to. Mercury is intrigued by seeing Jupiter at work, and may offer Jupiter some data to help his presentation, request. Mercury may offer Pluto some quick but pivotal advice, and bingo, Pluto is on board and it’s a good deal!

Mercury repeats aspects to Saturn and Uranus….

Throughout the cycle, Mercury trines Uranus three times! Mercury is the thinking process; Uranus is considered to be higher mind, how to join many souls, worldwide networks to promote both rational and etheric thought. Mercury in Sagittarius expands principles of attention and expression to intrigue Souls to gather ’round! Already the process is started by coaching by example as thoughts are shared and upleveled, hope instilled, having a steady outlook. Uranus is the Light and Sound waves that carry group thought around the world, brings R/Evolution. It invents options like the Internet, and planes, and one day we will have teleportation. Let your mind shift freely. Tune in.

Mercury does conjunct Saturn three times. The first two are in Sagittarius, but the third, however, is in Capricorn two days after the Mercury Rx cycle is complete! While in Sag, Mercury consults with Saturn, Capricorn’s planet, then, because Saturn changes signs mid Rx, Mercury completes the conjunctions when Saturn is at his full power! First Mercury speculates in Sag, then after all is said and done, commits to the chosen Path in Capricorn. He works hard gathering data so choices will be informed, no time wasted. Mercury is not always serious, sometimes mischievous, but in Capricorn he focuses as it life depended on it, and sometimes it does! Blessed be.

Mercury aspecting Saturn and Uranus, triggers awareness of how precious our commitments are and how much we need freedom too. Saturn holds us together and stabilizes our communities, at times our very survival. Uranus invites innovation, change, evolution, sometimes on a large scale with far reaching effects! Networking, connection is a potent and necessary life force, sometimes uniting us internationally. Intentionally we can breathe together collectively, securing our survival in the future as well!

Sagittarius, this Mercury retrograde’s sign, is a student, a teacher, traveler of mind and body, has long term purpose in mind, great faith in the future. Confidence abounds, risks are taken and often succeed! They are super storytellers, often published!  Sagittarius will hold the compass and keep us on course. Even if they lose the compass, they were born with directional instinct. Trust it. When it all seems too much, they will tell stories of heroes and heroines and hope is restored! They speak of the achievement of our dreams, what that will look like. We are guided to make the best choices to get us there, step by step we go on. Walk the Path together.

Full Taurus/Scorpio Frosty Moon!
Saturn square Chiron, trine Uranus background!

Friday Nov 3 at 10:23 PM Pacific, 11 Taurus/Scorpio 59!

It may be frosty, but Scorpios can comfortably accommodate radical temperature changes!

Saturn square Chiron leads up to the Full Moon, exact Nov 2 the day before the Full Moon! For some that will not be a cheerful aspect, perhaps losses and lonely. Depending on how it activates your chart, it will present challenges, but easily dealt with. Others won’t notice it at all. But old Saturn hammers the forces into place anyway, if he can get them in his grip. The Full Moon spreads the pages apart, Moon opposite Sun, reveals the valuable inner nut, opens the Gateway!  See more

Also yet to come is the companion aspect Saturn trine Uranus Nov 11, 11-11! Saturn square Chiron in Pisces comes first, a possible health challenge, a matter of addictions, old guilt, fears, depression. Depending on how it engages your chart, if it does, you may find yourself on your knees. This is followed by the trine with Uranus, support of friends and community, and the freedom to change. It requires hard work to make the change, but the effort pays off. There may not be fireworks, but a worthy mission will be completed. No shame or blame. This is a life changing passage.

These two aspects are particularly significant after all the recent natural disasters – fires, floods, quakes. Saturn square Chiron has forced us to let go of old wounds, released us from old sacrifices and negligence, acting alone. New communities are being formed, timely new businesses with real bones are being born. Hard times have shown us what really matters, how to help and be helped. We are connecting with one another, really connecting, heart to heart. It is a perfect time to build with sustainability in mind, upgrading to new and better possibilities for sweeter reasons. It’s a time of re-creation. Saturn the Builder, Father Time, is in harmony, trine, with genius Uranus, the planet of chaos, change, community, R/Evolution. Saturn, a historical genius, now in Sagittarius becomes a practical Futurist with the background to make it so!

Venus at 25 Libra, just invited Saturn to an awards gathering, and she is opposing Uranus in Aries asking him to mind his manners, stop by for just a few minutes. She knows how restless and caged he can feel. She’s sweet in her own sign, and he’s taken with her grace and that she made the effort to include him though at times he can be bristly. She was intrigued by him and would like to see him again, but she’s likely right, it’s only a brief encounter. He and Saturn or into some timely necessary work. They are cleaning up messes and forging a better future. Maybe later on…or maybe they engage her to soothe the constituents, balance the forces, add her touch of beauty.

In the last 3 to 4 days, Mercury in Scorpio has just mingled with the whole group, pivotal! He is leaving midpoint Venus and Saturn, aided their connection by knowing secrets of each. He trined Chiron, hoping to bestow healing tips, cleaver teaching that leaves them wanting more! Having been inconjunct, askew Uranus, he disguised his ideas to make Uranus in Aries thought they were his own. Worthy ambushes. Uranus retains his leadership and happiness. Mercury is the mental power battery, quick to see the crevices in the minds of his fellows. He snatches the inklings, spreads the Word, plies his craft well!

Moon is quickly leaving Mars, Sun is faster and leaving Mars. Mars is leaving semisextile Jupiter. What’s done has been done. Things are moving on without him. Sun is leaving Jupiter too.

Those of you with factors in your charts close to 11 degrees will be directly linked to the Full Moon and Neptune. The Moon in Taurus, and Sun in Scorpio favorably connect with Neptune of Dreams. Taurus is a steady worker, determined every single day. It may seem small gains at first, but the next thing you know the whole field is plowed. Or the landscaping has grown and looks beautiful. Ironically, ashes of fires are like a fertilizer. Neptune is a Guide, and Angel, a sweet Soul that takes your hand when you get scared and stubborn. Neptune makes music that can call you, haunt you, make you dance like Kokopelli or Zorba the Greek! Neptune knows when to be gentle or give you the boot in the backside, knowing you will be ok. Nothing like being in fresh space on new ground!

Sun in Scorpio lights the way through the darkest times, even at night when the Sun isn’t shining, through the caves of unlighted consciousness, inner space, our tubular psychology! We step out of denial, fascinated by the possibilities after all! Scorpio celebrates the darker times of life, Halloween, honoring at the Day of the Dead, our rip roaring stupendously impressive ancestors who survived in dangerous times! We have a residual power through the Matriarchy and Patriarchy, past lives. Sensitive and psychic Neptune reveals hidden strengths. Spiritual mentors may become apparent, loosening our perception to understand more of our gifts. A good Sensei teaches you your unique prowess, healing talents, tunes your wholeness, connects you with your true center, honors the connections with all.

Sun will sextile Pluto, Scorpio’s planet Nov 9 in the wee hours of the morning Pacific time, so essentially Nov 8 is it’s most active day. That’s two/three days before Saturn trine Uranus Nov 11! So the Sun of this Full Moon also links the two Saturn aspects that are the background of this Full Moon. Outer planet aspects are important because they are more long term. Their matters take time to develop, be instilled, be consciously used. Pluto, as is Scorpio, is a force to be reckoned with. The Sun in Scorpio knows how to deal with Pluto. Pluto may be a bit old fashioned in Capricorn, but there are new potentials to be reaped. There are good and powerful connections to be made. The Sun is the Heart of Light and shows the way.

“As we look ahead into the next century, leaders will be those who empower others.” – Bill Gates, Oct. 28 – Scorpio Sun, Venus, Saturn; Jupiter conjunct Pluto

New Moon!  Opposite Star Algol, leaving trine Procyon!!
Four Planets, Stellium in Scorpio!
Saturn at Galactic Center, leaving square Chiron, trine Uranus!
Jupiter trine Neptune….

Saturday November 18, at 3:42 AM Pacific, 26 Scorpio 19!

In honor of Halloween, Cyndy Salisbury’s mask of Eos, dawn, emerges out of the dark of Night. Resurrection, Rebirth, Reawakening, Rejuvenation. About Cyndy and mask making

Our Scorpio New Moon is truly Celestial! It connects with two Stars and the Galactic Center!

The Galactic Center, GC, is a place of huge significance. It ties us with Souls or Beings beyond our wildest imaginings! We may dream or have insights, but more likely impressions that we don’t entirely understand yet feel are important, compelled by, point a direction. We are inclined to be more inclusive, to let go of the daily fraught, raise our sights higher. We see what surrounds us with greater comprehension.

Saturn is now at the GC at 26 Sagittarius, as it was 28, 29 years ago! Saturn will be at, conjunct the 26th degree Nov 15 to 24. Saturn in Sagittarius calls us to take charge of our future. Work it. Be present, accept the mission. Be respectful of all Paths. It started Feb 16 at 26 Sag 0, moved into 27 degrees and ‘stationed’ there – was direct/moving forward, then April 5 retrograded/turned back. It went back to 26/0 degrees May 25, right after the the second Saturn trine Uranus! That was three months that we were deeply infused. Now we see what needs doing, it’s time. Recent floods, fires and quakes have called for survival, generosity and recovery. I won’t say restoration, because it’s time to do better. We want to build a fresh future. Let go, move forward clean and clear.

We are now living the legacy of the Nov 2 Saturn square Chiron, the challenges of stabilizing in the aftermath of fires, floods and quakes. Even without drastic events, it may disrupt your business or your love life. It may remind us of old sorrows, addictions, grief for lost loved ones. Our health could suffer. The change we hope for may seem lost or circumstances insurmountable. Chiron is in Pisces can have a wicked imagination! Thank goodness Saturn is realistic and practical. In Sagittarius he is so looking out for a more positive future and actively working for it! Day by day, step by step. Do what you can, you get points for just being able to wait this one out! More better though, if you take measures, no matter how small. You can do it!

We are also in the building for change Nov 11 Saturn trine Uranus. We will strive for greater sustainability, community efficiency, more meaningful life work, working together. Saturn collects the scatterings of ideas of Uranus in Aries, unites them in purpose! Responsible networks are formed, some with unique specialties. These networks may be bulwarks to stay tides of falling back in time, yet see values in new ideas and put them to work.

Correspondingly, the New Moon is at the same degree as Saturn, a sign apart! In turn, then, the New Moon was just trine Chiron and inconjunct Uranus! Semisextile Saturn gives it a serious sense of the need to get things done, maneuver behind the scenes to back Saturn’s play. The trine to Chiron in Pisces increases knowing the sensitivity and delicacy some things will require. Many are suffering losses of everything they had and loved ones as well. Others are exultantly freed of what was a suffocating daily bondage. Some are suicidal, others are able to step up to the plate. It’s a fine choice whether to be gentle for a long time, or to heartfully bully them to stand up, lift their chin and get on with it. Martyr time is over.

Inconjunct with Uranus means this is a time to start incorporating change into your life. Uranus is the planet of evolution, mightier than any sword or pen! The part of you that is unique is called to contribute. It’s exhilarating when you step into this new level, zone! For a long time you were learning skills that now will be used to their fullest capacity in collaboration with likeminded Souls for the greater good of all! Uranus in Aries can be solo, or the work can be done by a tribe of leaders, community leaders worldwide making amazing strides! Deliberately join forces! Make connection after connection to strengthen the light grid of Humanity!

This New Moon has super Scorpio flavor with FOUR planets, a stellium in Scorpio the 16th – 18th! The New Moon is a potent time all of its own, with Moon joining Sun, being infused with intense Scorpio energy, energized by the special healing Light of Scorpio. Mother Moon is intuitive in her own right and more so in Scorpio. She let’s no pain or sorrow not be comforted by her understanding. You can tell her your secrets and as any good midwife, she guards what you share.

Jupiter gives a huge boost to Scorpio energy! He amplifies relationships, shares through hardships, celebrates and multiplies financial successes in rapid progression. Healing happens faster than ever before, and Scorpios have amazing healing powers, both of self and in behalf of others! Clearing psychological messes, plumbing matters both internal and in housing, financial accounting is tracked and justified, security for breakins and thefts is seriously installed. Wills are made, elder needs are anticipated and dealt with in generous ways. Just be careful on that motorcycle!

Jupiter’s next stop is trine Neptune in his own sign Pisces Dec 2! That will be the first aspect that starts the 2018 set! From Scorpio of the Underworld, to Neptune the ultimate dreamer, gifted visionary, Jupiter will see underlying causes, apply the greatest healing possible. Jupiter in Scorpio can be a phenomenal fundraiser for causes, concerts, spas, foundations for learning, sponsoring research. Beliefs may be in exceptional harmony.

Venus in Scorpio is either spoiled truly rotten, learning skills neglected as bills are paid for you, or, you are blessed with beauty beyond measure, inborn charisma that brings champion contenders to you, a keen awareness of the intent of others, and an astute judgment of how worthy and long lasting an investment may be. She will sextile Pluto, Scorpio’s planet, very early the 21st. Have your ideas in mind and make your request the 20th. Good time to ask for that raise, promotion depending on factors in your personal chart.

OTHER FACTORS  Mercury has just left sextile with Mars. Mars in Libra made some quick no-nonsense introductions, gave options for action on both sides. His leadership is to the point, fights a good fight. Mercury carries the Word, lets the people know about the project, the cause. In Sagittarius, Mercury wants to teach, inspire, go places, look much further ahead, make the plans! Mars will make the exact square to Pluto the wee hours of Sunday the 19th, so New Moon day, or the day before, will see the most challenge. Mars is forthright, wants to cross the gap, make a bridge. Pluto in Capricorn is the old Guard, generally quite cautious, knows how to sidestep upstarts. So prove why what you want is valuable, be persistent, be concise. This may be a time to propose, but have to wait and see.

TWO FIXED STARS!

The New Moon is opposite Mischief-maker Algol at 26 Taurus. It holds a distinction of being an eclipsing binary. Every 68 hours and 49 minutes this Demon Star ‘blinks’ for roughly 8 hours as the dimmer star of the pair passes between the brighter and the earth. We have a ‘duality’ of light and seeming blindness, or a timeout to contemplate. And it is an illusion. We just can’t see the dimmer star though it is there.

Bernadette Brady says: “This star seems to contain immense female passion and power. Algol represents a strong consuming passion that may devour you with anger and rage. If one can contain an unconscious compulsion to take revenge, and from that passion return a more productive outcome, Algol is one of the most powerful stars in the sky. Whatever planet it affects in your chart will be charged with strong, intense sexual energy that has the potential to be wonderful, of if repressed, to lead to rage or violence.” Scorpio is considered to have great passion and power, sometimes plagued by issues of revenge. Either this Star will highlight that, exacerbate it, or draw it off through another on the other side who is steady in the Light.

Diana Rosenberg says Algol in a chart doesn’t necessarily mean that one will inflict or be the victim of horror and mayhem: “you will not be able to ignore suffering and horror, or brush it aside… The Algol placement on a chart insists upon a confrontation and assimilation of these harsh aspects of human experience in this lifetime. Algol, like other stars, confers tasks upon us which, if comprehended and accepted, offer great rewards of power and creativity.” See much more

Procyon, almost 26 Cancer, is also binary, but not eclipsing! It is the smaller of Orion’s hunting dogs. It has a quite different interpretation than the dread Algol. Procyon in trine, a favorable aspect, with our New Moon, likely its more positive factors will be activated. Will-power and ability to put thoughts and plans into action, wealth and renown. With the Sun, a valiant demeanor is indicated! However, it also has a tendency to a hot temper and impudence, and dog bites! Take it easy and don’t torment the dog! LOL

BOWL! All the planets in our New Moon Astrology Chart are in just over half the wheel! That is not so common. A Bowl pattern collects energy in the many ways its planets are in their signs, the circuits they make or don’t among themselves. The energy is contemplated, examined, sorted, healed, enhanced, energized, redistributed. It may be partially or all held for use by the recipient, or perhaps for safekeeping. When the time is right, all or part of it may be poured forth back into the Universe to hold a specific place in the Light Grid. It may be sent to be a receiver/transmitter. It may be called to in turn heal a weak spot in the valence. You can use this kind of energy sustenance, a repair, upgrade replacement, or a system connection of your own. In a clean array, it can attract more amazing energy to mingle with and upgrade to further levels of understanding. No limits!

Depending on where on earth this New Moon chart occurs, the ‘bowl’ may be over the top of the chart acting as a hood! Rather than collecting from above, it gathers rising energy forms from below or ones floating about with no particular strength. Some are keepers, some are transformed and put to a greater use, others yet are dropped to shift and circulate further until they return and are ready to fit the scenario of the ‘bowl’ or they just move on where they do fit. The keepers, the ones the bowl processes, then may be like a living shower of energy collected, potently merged, united in cause, dispersed into the mainstream to magnetize others.

Animal Medicine! Scorpions and snakes that shed their skins, reptiles in general, 8 legged Spiders, Crows, Owls, Bats, Eagle, and Phoenix! From Halloween creatures to mythological, ground dwellers to flyers, Scorpio has quite an array of creatures all symbolizing different facets and skills! Practice and be aware of the energy you are calling or may apply and why.

Again I leave you with Rumi’s words:

“In your light I learn how to love. In your beauty, how to make poems. You dance inside my chest where no-one sees you, but sometimes I do, and that sight becomes this art.” ~ Rumi (Libra Sun & Mercury, Venus & Mars in Scorpio. Born 9-30-1207)

Libra 2017 New & Full Moons!

Full Aries/Libra Harvest Moon!
All 5 Outer Planets Activated! Cardinal & Mutable T Squares!

New Moon! Jupiter now in Scorpio!
Saturn at Galactic Center square Chiron, trine Uranus!

Full Aries/Libra Harvest Moon!
All 5 Outer Planets Activated! Cardinal & Mutable T Squares!

Thursday Oct 5, at 11:40 AM Pacific, 12 Aries/Libra 43!

Full Moon Party at The Atlantic Hotel & Spa! Guests will feast on a three-course meal from Beauty & the Feast Bar|Kitchen on the 5th Floor Oceanfront Terrace before celebrating the night away! Fort Lauderdale, FL 

Happy Harvest Moon! This year the Full Moon nearest the Autumnal Equinox is in October. It is also called the Hunter’s Moon, Travel or Dying Moon. It is end of summer, beginning of Fall. Leaves are ‘falling,’ days are shortening, it’s getting cooler. Gardeners harvest; Hunters gather and process game for winter stores. Now that harvest is done, we are free to travel.

This year, in social Libra, it is a time to gather with loved ones outdoors, eat sweet moon cakes, admire the harvest moon, and celebrate the abundance of life. The full moon is a symbol of prosperity, wholeness, and reunion. Family and friends—no matter where they are in the world—can gaze upon and enjoy the same beautiful moon. No matter what happens, you have each other! If you are in a fire or storm area, please take some time to give thanks with new friends. To those of you who are hurting, maybe alone for now, we send our love always. Bless you and keep you and yours.

Mercury and Sun are together this Libran Full Moon. Mercury is being very aware and thoughtful of others. Communications are vital when there are disasters or political shakeups. A cool head and a lot of heart can bring people together in unusual circumstances. In spite of discomforts and fear, this is a huge opportunity. Unlikely champions will rise. Prejudicial limitations will seem senseless. We just help each other because we need help. Lifelong friendships will be made across all lines.

The Moon, always opposite the Sun at Full Moons, is in Aries, the sign of forthright action, first responders, leaders. The Moon is unconditional love and support and independently gathers the food and distributes it as needed. We are all Family. This support gives rise to a grateful independence, more assertiveness, fights for rights of our own and in behalf of others, especially for children.

Sun/Mercury and Moon are directly tied with Neptune! Mercury and Sun are inconjunct, askew Neptune. Mercury is logic, Neptune is not. Neptune the Dreamier is more soulful and psychic, impressionistic. Mercury talks, writes lyrics, while Neptune listens or makes music to the words. Sun in Libra brings people, maybe artists, to meet Neptune, but he may be away in the Ashram or not available until late in the night. Neptune may be brightened by the visit but glad when he has his solitude again. Moon in Aries is hard pressed to slow down for these things. She may push too much and lose the game, or the others may catch on and see it’s important not to miss out or delay important progress by not keeping up!

Oppositions have an across-the-table quality. There you are, right before me. We may be different, but we can shake hands, discuss our mutual goals, divvy up the work between us. We may do it differently, but together we can get there! Sun lights the way, Moon supports and reflects the Light to others! Teamwork!

Cardinal T Square! They are bringing the Light to bear on Pluto, a planet of darkness, a holder of secrets and healing! In Capricorn, Pluto is in the Moon’s opposite sign. There is a resonance since Moon rules Mothers and Capricorn is Fathers! The challenge is to raise Pluto’s sights from old ways that used to work, were necessary then, to fresh options and new alliances. Sometimes the Healer needs rescuing! On the other hand, Moon, Sun and Mercury may need to pass through Pluto’s cleansing gateway before they may go on. There is a test for both sides. Will Pluto see the Light? Will the upstarts clear themselves with the Master? Likely there will be a little temporary consternation and perhaps a little chaos, but the Cardinal signs rarely forego a good challenge! They have natural inborn jump starters!

The Mutable T Square starts with Mars and Venus in Virgo opposite Chiron in Pisces, they in turn square Saturn in Sagittarius! This one is more long term since Saturn takes until Nov 2 to square Chiron. The Venus/Mars conjunction is really fresh! It just happened at 9:53 AM Pacific, just a couple hours before the Harvest Moon! There are details to consider, reorganization that pays off. Distribution is needed. Mars does what it takes. Venus goes ahead of him advertising the values of the opportunity! Though working independently for the time being, Mars could use some partners for his project, cause. Chiron may be asleep over there in Pisces, but senses the shift and stirs. Something has happened and as a healer, he is curious what Virgo has started. He prefers herbs and natural remedies when possible.

Saturn, having been in Sagittarius for a while now, is more amenable to learning about healthy remedies that increase longevity. Not only is it important what we learn, but how we learn it, what we do with it and when. Virgos test their ideas, the quality is there as they promise. They are expert at hands on training. Chiron sees the value of the body/mind connection as well of those with the Soul. Saturn thinks this is a working tenet, so engages, giving what time and support he can, lending his name.

Sep 27 Jupiter opposed Uranus! People have been having huge differences of principles, ethics. Politically balances of social constructs have been undergoing dramatic change. Natural disasters have forced people from their homes, families have separated to survive, or from the result of new laws. Fires, floods, earthquakes. Fear has occurred on so many levels. Change, evolution is inevitable, but recently it has been high chaos and tumult! So much at once. Jupiter is the planet of magnitude, Uranus is the masses. No one escapes! I’ve written how Libra is a sign of recovery of balance. While Jupiter is still in Libra until Oct 10, use its ability for all its worth. See where it currently is traversing your personal astrology chart and work it! Together, consciously and well focused, we can get a lot done. So many are stepping up to the plate, ie our super hero this month! JJ Watt, only 28 years old, has raised over $37M Harvey Relief Funds!

Also yet to come is Saturn trine Uranus Nov 11 – 11-11! They are currently 5 degrees apart, but closing. Saturn square Chiron in Pisces comes first Nov 2. First is a possible health challenge, a matter of addictions, old guilt, fears, depression. Depending on how it engages your chart, if it does, you may find yourself on your knees. This is followed by the trine with Uranus, support of friends and community, and the freedom to change. It requires hard work to make the change, but the effort pays off. There may not be fireworks, but a worthy mission will be completed. No shame or blame. This is a life changing passage.

All the outer planets are involved in our Harvest Moon – Jupiter, Saturn, Chiron, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto! This Full Moon is linked with long term factors. AND, ALL the Full Moon inner planets – Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus and Mars – activate all the outer planets! They all spur the outer planets on, and are themselves changed by the encounters. Not one planet is in a Fixed sign, holding things steady. It’s not the time for it. The Cardinal planets get things moving; the Mutable planets make the accommodations to facilitate flow! It’s a grand integration, truly FULL!x

New Moon! Jupiter now in Scorpio!
Saturn at Galactic Center square Chiron, trine Uranus! 

Thursday October 19, at 12:12 PM Pacific, 26 Libra 35!

This thin crescent is post Sunset just after a New Moon.

This is the first lunar event of Jupiter newly in Scorpio as of ten, ten, Oct 10th! The context is wholly different now. It’s been 11/12 years, since Oct 2006, and all the outer planets have changed signs! Saturn has been through Leo, Virgo, Libra and Scorpio, now in Sagittarius! Scorpio wants it deep and bonded – for richer or poorer, in sickness and health, ’til death do us part. Lifelong. Jupiter wants vital education for a prosperous future for life to be exceptionally blessed. The stakes are high. When it can, Libra offers the connections needed to enhance the opportunity for it to happen.

Libra is the Sunset time of day. It is the Sign of gathering after the day’s work, sharing what the day brought, planning the next day. It’s a time of equanimity, between day and night, equal at Equinox. We welcome a quieter time of day and year. Days will be shorter and it’s cooler. Some time will be spent in contemplation, creating art that tells our story, makes beauty. We will spend more time indoors together. Rather than scattering for evenings outdoors, we gather indoors for dances, theatre, symphonies, art shows. Being social is natural.

A dark night in Libra can be a most potent meeting of Self and Soul. The Moon relates to her people – forbears and children. The Sun relates to his own heart, his courage, his expression of Light. Together they merge the past with creating a powerful union for the future.

At 26 Libra the New Moon is sextile the Galactic Center, opposite Uranus, the planet of the Heavens! And the New Moon is just past the exact inconjunct with Chiron in Pisces!

The Galactic Center, GC, is a place of huge significance. It ties us with Souls or Beings beyond our wildest imaginings! We may dream or have insights, but more likely impressions that we don’t entirely understand yet feel are important, compelled by, point a direction. We are inclined to be more inclusive, to let go of the daily fraught, raise our sights higher.

Saturn, 23 Sagittarius, is now very near the GC at 26 Sagittarius 59! Saturn will be at the 26th degree Nov 15 to 24. Saturn in Sagittarius calls us to take charge of our future. Work it. Be present, accept the mission. Be respectful of all Paths. It started Feb 16 at 26 Sag 0, moved into 27 degrees and ‘stationed’ there – was direct/moving forward, then April 5 retrograded/turned back. It went back to 26/0 degrees May 25, right after the the second Saturn trine Uranus! That was three months that we were deeply infused. Now we see what needs doing, it’s time. Recent floods, fires and quakes have called for survival, generosity and recovery. I won’t say restoration, because it’s time to do better. We want to build a fresh future. Let go, move forward clean and clear.

Again, Saturn will trine Uranus, only 3 degrees apart now, exact eleven eleven, Nov 11! This is the third and last time. As before, Dec 24, 2016 and May 18, 2017, Saturn collects the scatterings of ideas of Uranus in Aries, unites them in purpose! Responsible networks are formed, some with unique specialties. These networks may be bulwarks to stay tides of falling back in time, yet see values in new ideas and put them to work. New careers of deeper meaning will be created and forged. See more!

This aspect is important because Uranus is 26 Aries 31, directly opposite the New Moon and trine the Galactic Center! There is no chance things will stay the same! You might be scared or so excited you can hardly contain yourself, both! Evolution is! Aries is the leader, champion. Uranus and Aries can be solo, or they can be a tribe of leaders, community leaders worldwide making amazing strides! Libra has more propriety, but is also a sign of leadership, making connection after connection to strengthen the light grid of Humanity! Can’t be done without them. Infusion from the great center of the Galaxy will be potently activating many Souls at this New Moon!

All this will be considered under the auspice of Moon and Sun having inconjunted Chiron in Pisces. Healing insightfully, mindfully, with appropriate timing, with no condescension, is sometimes a delicate achievement. Making your patient, client, student a ‘partner’ in their own healing creates a powerful union.

This aspect helps prepare us for the Nov 2 Saturn square Chiron the third time. That is generally not an easy aspect. It may disrupt your business or your love life. It may remind us of old sorrows, addictions, grief for lost loved ones. Our health could suffer. The change we hope for may seem lost or circumstances insurmountable. Chiron is in Pisces with a wicked imagination! Thank goodness Saturn is realistic and practical. In Sagittarius he is so looking out for a more positive future and actively working for it! Day by day, step by step. Do what you can, you get points for just being able to wait this one out! More better though, if you take measures, no matter how small. You can do it! You can. See more!

Mercury just conjuncted Jupiter in Scorpio for the first time in 11/12 years! What an intense consult! There may have been some awkward moments as we get used to this new energy. Mercury is clever with words, but it’s still a new language. Mercury is rarely overwhelmed, but this time he may have reach for it! Jupiter offers as much as you can take, and Scorpio is famous for extremes!

As with Chiron, Scorpio calls for healing. Jupiter heals and updates our purpose. Mercury heals our mind and communications, thinking and learning skills. What you say, how you say it makes a difference. Jupiter wants the whole Truth. Scorpio may protect what must be protected, but also release important revelations. Mercury’s choice is whether to keep the secret and find a way to bring information to help without letting others know their source or the full story. Or, it may be time to do the journaling and exposé, clean up the mess. Could be a little dangerous. Watch out for compulsions and obsessive mind sets. No verbal abuse – none given, none accepted. No being mean or scornful and self righteously thinking it’s ok because you are ‘right.’ Stay clean. Jupiter has a lot of hope, no matter how ‘dark’ the times may seem. Often things you don’t know about are at work in your behalf. Wait for it. Scorpio is the sign of rising from the dead, the Phoenix from its own ashes! That’s a tough combo to beat. Mercury is good at slipping through the cracks out of harm’s way! Stay with it and don’t give up!

That should be doable with Venus in her own sign Libra watching carefully and treading lightly. She is neighborly semisextile to Mercury. Keep the dance moving, adjust your center as you move. Remember that balance is a living medium, rarely equal or symmetrical. Grace may be more the word. Beauty marks the passage. Kindness shows the way.

Upcoming Saturn aspects make this an important New Moon, as well as this Moon being the first Lunar event in Jupiter in Scorpio! Relationships we make, and how we relate, are critical to our success. Jupiter enjoys Libra – studies, travel, fun! Scorpio is Libra’s astrological neighbor leading the way. Libra supports. In old astrology, Saturn was considered to be exalted, in its best placement in Libra. Libra rules Lawyers, Saturn is the Law! Jupiter is judges! Law is not just what is on the books, but what is in our hearts and the laws of how we treat each other. How we judge, looking for the best in others, keeps us all working for a positive future.

“In your light I learn how to love. In your beauty, how to make poems. You dance inside my chest where no-one sees you, but sometimes I do, and that sight becomes this art.” ~ Rumi

Virgo 2017 New & Full Moons!

Full Virgo/Pisces Corn Moon!  Regulus & a lot of Mercury! 

New Moon!  Five Planets in Virgo!
New Moon & Jupiter Aspecting Chiron & Uranus!

The Virgo Moons are finishing the Mercury Retrograde cycle. Both Leo New Moons were linked to the Mercury Retrograde cycle, and both the Virgo New and Full Moons are as well!

This Mercury Retrograde is entirely unique! It was the holder of the Aug 21 Second Leo New Moon US TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE that was at the degree the whole Mercury Retrograde cycle started at and Mercury goes Direct at! It is also unique by its connections with the New and Full Moons throughout its cycle!

The day after the first LEO New Moon, July 23, the Leo/Virgo Mercury Retrograde cycle started – not the retrograde, the cycle! The retrograde started August 12 in Pacific time. Expect that projects you started from July 24 through Aug 12, will not come out exactly as planned. The exciting US Total Solar Eclipse was during the Retrograde part of the cycle! Mercury turns Direct/forward, the day before the Sep 6 Full Corn Moon. Be ready to be flexible, make it better and better through the time of the whole 3 part cycle! It finishes Sep 19, the day of the Virgo New Moon! Clearly, this Mercury Retrograde cycle is linked with the MOON!

The Rx cycle includes two signs: Leo the genetic Heart of the LightBearer; Virgo the DNA LightWeaver!

Aug 21 SECOND Leo New Moon, US TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE! …at 28 Leo 53! This is the degree the entire Mercury Rx cycle started at and Mercury goes Direct at!! The Eclipse is during Mercury Rx, Mercury at 8 degrees Virgo during the Eclipse!

Augx22   Happy Virgo!

Full Virgo/Pisces Corn Moon! – Regulus & a lot of Mercury!

Wednesday Sep 6, at 00.03 AM Pacific, 13 Virgo/Pisces 53!  

Sep 5 Mercury goes Direct – forward at 28 Leo the Aug 21 US Total Solar Eclipse degree! When a planet turns direction, it is called being in Station – being still in the sky, with no apparent visual motion. With Mercury it is an 8 day period, 4 before, 4 after the turn. There is an in dwelling, a deepening focus, a thorough examination of the matters at hand, strengthening, an anchoring of a thought or principle. Choose your thoughts carefully, select the best of your hopes and plans. Though the Full Moon doesn’t connect with Mercury by degree, Sun and Moon are held in this stance, place of mind. If you stand still until you really see. The differences of Moon in Pisces, Sun in Virto, become more apparent, each having its own value, a necessary contributor to the greater cause. At the time of the Eclipse, Moon and Sun were in Leo. Now they are spanning Virgo to Pisces. Time to use the Leo heart energy to take the next step, make your dreams come true.

This Full Moon is Moon in Pisces, the Master Dreamer and Visionary, opposite Sun in Virgo the DNA LightWeaver, Healing Goddess! Pisces Moon is at the mast! She holds the Voyage, sometimes adrift, sometimes fearlessly surging through a gale and high seas! Virgo charts the stars, minds the crew, weaves their Souls intricately in fine patterns to get the job done most magnificently! Each compliments the other. When Moon is spread too thin, Sun in Virgo gathers in the bits so they pull together. When Virgo over thinks, worries, Pisces reminds that there are greater powers that guide us and the cause is the cause, always!

Moon has just been with Neptune, Pisces’ own planet, so she knows this to be doubly true, formidable, and psychically uncannily accurate! There are psychic memories of our past life deaths and births, misunderstandings and meanings, denials and dreams. It’s a lot to take in, but the Virgo Sun opposite, uses common sense, and reorders our thinking so we can use the information in a good way to help and heal in current time.

Moon is inconjunct Venus in Leo! There will be a call to the arts – music, film, video, theatre. There will be the grace of water sports – wind sailing, paddle boards, surfing and sailing, kayaking. Seeing the world on an ocean cruise will fulfill a need to connect beyond the ordinary. There may be a mediation group or Tai Chi, Yoga class that brings you to silence, peace, serenity, tranquility. As super new things change in your life, old addictions that held you captive will be forgotten and replaced with a vibrant competence. There are new reasons for living, possibly a sweetheart becomes apparent, steps up!

Sun in Virgo is radiant. She plants seeds, walks in the woods. She clears and cleans letting bright light shine. She creates space that allows mind clearing air flow! Flowers bloom leading us to heal more quickly. Deep breath. Sun trines, a strong favorable connection, with Pluto, the Master of the Underworld, yet the Phoenix that rises, lives again! Revelation fired by the Kundalini, the energy at the base of our spines, uplifts us to the Eagle’s keen perception. Virgo sees the illness, keeps us comfortable that Pluto may heal the cause. As humans we come with some flaws, a work in progress. Some matters that need healing are from past lives, others are when we have harmed ourselves, or been harmed by others. It’s a challenging job to weed out and sort the mess, but Pluto is undaunted by complex circumstances. Pluto, in Capricorn, drives the effort. He knows how valuable an experienced person can be, how strong they are to have faced it and made it. Virgo is there all the time with that candle, bringing Light to the Dark. She makes sure the spiritual operating theatre is good for the work and is skillful at rewiring old mindsets.

Moon and Neptune are right there too, sextiling Pluto. They are intuitive to each other, speak and see as one. They see the child, how parental and cultural background has significance. They see how broken or abandoned dreams have had consequence and speak to subtleties about how to process their release. They know how to instill a greater vision now that times have changed and the person is more mature and able.

28 LEO Mercury stands close to the Inconjunct with Chiron in Pisces and trine with Uranus in Aries, but it is just whispers and hints, faint reminders. Mercury inconjuncted Chiron and trined Uranus back on about July 22nd, and on July 24th. So much has happened since then. The context has changed… What is significant is 28 Leo was the degree of the Aug 21 US Total Solar Eclipse! Whatever was special to you about that Eclipse, it is time to think on and talk about! Remember, Mercury in Leo is in station, so we want to anchor your best ideas, the ones of heart and Light, ones with special potential. I hope you made some notes at Eclipse time, because it isn’t over yet if that Eclipse activated your chart! (See your astrologer!)

While stationed in Leo, Mercury is trine Uranus, the planet considered to be the highest echelon of intelligence! Mercury is quick on his winged feet spreading the news, but Uranus the genius rules the Universe, evolution, awakening, flight, and the Internet, LOL! But really, what can one do without the other?! Mercury needs information to share; Uranus needs someone to spread the Word! Mercury teaches us how to learn, speak well in a good way. Uranus opens us to realms of Being we never knew existed! Both are essential. Uranus is currently in Aries the sign of Initiation, champions, leaders! Leo is the HeartLight, creation, young people finding themselves. Love and leading go well together! Uranus will surely change our minds for the better in that 8 day station! We will keep the thoughts, add a few of our own, and let them be known far and wide. Bright.

Mercury in Leo, hopefully with grand projects on his mind, is just about to change signs into Virgo Sep 9, catch up with Mars Sep 16, and make like a sphinx with him! Half Lion, half Woman, the Sphinx embodies the Leo/Virgo signs – Leo the Lion, Virgo the Virgin. There is much to talk about and you can be assured that champion, hero Mars will quickly do his very best to help Mercury with the work! Mercury will be gaining momentum after the turn, moves right along, passing Mars, on to the next project.

Mars newly at 0 Virgo is conjunct fixed star Regulus, so you can expect his contribution to be elegant and maximum! Regulus used to be in Leo. It was one of the four Persian Royal Stars, the watcher of the South, the King! Now in Virgo, I dub him/her the Healing Goddess! Maybe Chiron is her planet. Mars wants to move things right along, see to the finer points of things, and may get the job done in record time! He is quite capable of giving the boot to the next level! Quick to analyze, he gives you a shove it he thinks you can make it! He encourages, is right to the point. He inspires you instantly! In Virgo he gets you exercising perfectly per your conditions! Oxygen gets to your brain and fuels your next choice! He gets you charged then passes you right by, on his way to the next spiritual soldier that needs a boost!

Jupiter and Saturn made their sextile but are still plenty close and active. Lots of plans made and a ton getting done! Jupiter is finishing last days in Libra. Social relationships are being made, groomed, extended into greater territories. We are committing to distant travels and tours, and superior education. Publishing our works is important, probably timely. Political ethics and justice are getting a workout from grassroots to corporate levels. See more!

Sep 23 and 27 are the next aspects coming, Jupiter inconjunct Chiron and opposite Uranus! These will be the third and final aspects of their sets of three each. As Jupiter moves in closer, the aspects will be in the traditional ranges thought to have effect. After them, Saturn will be squaring Chiron Nov 2.

Besides being about Virgo and Pisces, this Full Moon is a lot about Mercury. They are tied together because Mercury rules Virgo and the retrograde ties to the Moons! As one teacher said, ‘Where your attention goes, your energy flows.’ Straight ahead!

New Moon! Five Planets in Virgo!
New Moon & Jupiter Aspecting Chiron & Uranus!

Tuesday September 19, at 10:30 PM Pacific, 27 Virgo 27!

Virgo angels are often at work making our lives brighter, even at New Moon time! 

As is said above, the Virgo Full and New Moons are finishing the Mercury Retrograde Cycle! Both Leo New Moons were linked to the Mercury Retrograde cycle, and both the Virgo New and Full Moons are as well! The SAME DAY of our New Moon at 27 Virgo, the Mercury Retrograde Cycle finishes at 11 Virgo! As the Moon cycle finishes and begins anew, Mercury is finishing the Retrograde loop and stepping into new territory! Each has the past as its foundation to move on from. Note your successes, and what needs a bit more work. Give yourself credit. Virgo rules work we perform, services. bookkeeping and budgeting. Health and healing, taking care of pets. Choices based on critical and practical thinking are necessary to accomplish our goals. Again, the degrees are not linked, but the timing is. More wise and experienced, together we celebrate and embark on the next part of our journey!

Mercury rules communications – speaking, listening. The four moons connected with Mercury’s Retrograde cycle have each brought a special perception. It is fitting the whole cycle matures, finishes in Virgo, Mercury’s second sign! Virgo organizes our thoughts, fits the puzzle pieces together, expedites the project to a polished and quality result!

4 Occultations! There is a unique lead in energy preparing this New Moon. Pacific time, Sep 17 Venus at 27 Leo, the star Regulus at 0 Virgo, Sep 18 Mars at 8 Virgo and Mercury at 10 Virgo are occulted! Occultations are mini eclipses! The Moon and those planets are perfectly lined up! That’s three inner planets in two days. Channels are open from and to those three planets! There is a purity. Messages are clear and potent! Venus of values and grace, star Regulus the heart of the constellation of Leo the Lion and at the crossroad of Leo/VIrgo – the Sphinx (half Lion, half Woman), Mars the leader and champion, Mercury of communications – transmit and listen! The 19th Venus enters Virgo just in time for the New Moon!

The occultations occur in less than 24-hours time. This will be the first time since March 5, 2008, that three planets have been occulted by the moon in less than one day. The next time won’t be until July 24, 2036.

With this New Moon having FIVE planets, a stellium, in Virgo, including Mercury in his own sign Virgo, we can safely say things will get done, and well! Virgo is a common sense Earth sign, a hard worker, last one to leave the office!

Moon with Sun is a potent combination. Sun carries the Light, Moon gives support and give the unconditional love we need! Virgo is worker, at all kinds of enterprises that take care of us on a daily basis. Moon thinks that is terrific. She superlatively minds our nutrition, often has natural remedies, information that saves the day.

Virgo is purity, cleanliness of mind, body and location! She nags us, but the aim is to establish and maintain clear thinking. She adjusts our diet to prevent ailments, cheaper than a doctor, LOL! She detoxes us, and builds better health than ever before! She clears clutter that blocks and burdens us, organizes our lives for clear and streamlined action. Go, Virgo!

Venus just arrived, is at 0 degrees. She loves the work and wants it to be beautiful, valuable and lovingly composed! Might be a quilt or the subtle tints of the paint on the wall in the showroom! Patterns stir our consciousness, labyrinths lead to the center of the world! We relax in the loveliest flower gardens, grow the most healthy herbs and foods. Very sweet caregiver.

Mars in Virgo gives good measure for time spent! He works best independently. Definitely an Earth mover! Outdoors might be his forte. In construction put him to work on woodworking, the cabinets installations and clean up! He will be the best delivery person you ever had! He may volunteer to take food to home bound people and elders.

Moon naturally takes on the home nurturing role; Sun leads us to extend that service to our community! Virgos are very clever Souls and much sought after. There have always been tenders and nannies, butlers, caregivers and nurses and accountants. We couldn’t live without them! Well we could, but things are more better with them! They have specific amazing skills! They are downright excellent at garden care and landscaping. Botanic gardens…. Veterinary.

Mars and Mercury are opposite Neptune. He’s been waiting for them. Mercury and Neptune are each in their own signs. They are strongly placed. Neptune the dreamer and savior, offers insights to spiritual dilemmas, meditation to sooth the monkey mind. Mercury has just crossed Mars, and is supercharged! Mercury wants to learn everything at once, chat and do logic, give the news on these new discoveries! And Mercury discovers there is more than words. Empathy is important too. Mars, though generally forthright and furious, in Virgo is a bit more careful in it’s approach. Quiet tiptoes might be the way when with the sleeping Giant Neptune that sees all, especially if he is sleeping?! Rude questions and probing may provoke a chilled silence that is an unpredictable entity all its own. Oops. Ok, breathe. Gentle respect more likely due. Perhaps the technique and skill of the process is more important than the content of the encounter?

Mars and Mercury are trine Pluto in Capricorn! They all are Earth sign harmonious. Practical. Reasoning. Limits and laws. Mercury is forging ahead of Mars, first on the premises. Capricorn, the sign of elders and professionals, needs respect, and Pluto has a lot of private business. It may take a getting-to-know-you period before there is sharing. If you are offering services, you need to be bonded. If you are looking for a story be careful what you say. Mars might push a little harder than Mercury, but too much push can be felt to be suspicious. Pluto is always watching the back door. If it is an instant go ahead connection, you’re on! Ask your questions, offer innovative ideas, propose your price. If it is a personal relationship, while away the hours together, share secrets, do a project that fills your hearts!

The New Moon and Chiron have just made a T square with the Galactic Center! Squares can be a nuisance, blocks, but they also bring breakthroughs and building! Chiron is soulfully diligent seeking cures of body and mind, but in Pisces more of Spirit. Sometimes we get a wee bit lost, could be fears, addictions, cloudy vision, depleted dreamtime or dreams too vivid. At the point of the T Square,the Galactic Center is in Sagittarius, the place of the Pathfinder, Wayshower. It is a fire sign that lights the way, points the direction to take! It is a cheerful sign of hope and optimistic there is a fine future ahead! This perspective helps us break free from old things that have haunted us.

The New Moon is also within minutes of inconjunct Uranus in Aries! The gateway is is oblique, off to the side. it isn’t mainstream, could even be brushed aside as too weird or off putting, but Moon is is concerned for her territory, so takes a look. Moon is leery of such an upstart and for good reason! Uranus is the ChangeMaker, evolutionist, ahead of its time. The Moon protects culture and the home, sudden changes can be scary, upset the Virgo family routine. Moon is also curious. In her cycles she sees many things and may be bored, and in Virgo she is always amenable to a better way. So she may choose to watch from a safe distance at first.

The Sun is the planet in natural opposition to Uranus. Sun rules Leo, opposite sign to Aquarius, Uranus’ sign. Sun in Virgo may feel somewhat similar to the Moon in this instance. Virgos are not usually robust champions. They are more delicately put together. Like feathers in the weather vane, they sense shifts in the valence, minute disruptions of natural order. But they all may have a quick consult. Uranus in Aries instantaneously inspires. As Moon and Sun go by, they will be excited by the possibilities!

27 Virgo squares the Fixed Stars Polaris and Betelgeuse. Both are at 28 Gemini, but in very different locations in the sky! Polaris is the Pole Star, at the North Pole of Earth, the stars appearing to rotate around it. Its declination is +89. It has long been a guiding star to sailors and caravans. The planet, Uranus, was discovered one degree longitude away from this star! Polaris has been given mixed interpretations of high honors, misery and spiritual power. I would think which or how much of each, would depend on how it is situated in a given chart and the aspects at a given time. In this case, both Sun and Moon in a challenge aspect it could indicate Gemini/Virgo mind/body challenges, honors lost or hard won, a block in communications since Gemini and Virgo are Mercury’s two signs! A clear direction may not be immediately apparent or without some effort.

The same square exists with Betelgeuse, but Betelgeuse, declination only +7, is entirely a different character! Rather than at the Pole, Orion is located on the celestial equator and visible throughout the world! Polaris is at the tip of the tail of the Little Bear. Betelgeuse is in Orion’s right shoulder! Rather than the Guide, Betelgeuse is part of the hunter warrior! Great fortune and fame, especially military success, are potential, and it is also associated with calamities, danger, and violence! Warriors take their chances! Our New Moon in Virgo may contribute to strategies, might be a stealthy and clever hunter, but is rarely a warrior. Virgo may take care of the wounded, but would rather deal with Gemini’s commerce, offering business skills. Virgo may be grateful for Gemini’s news of new techniques and cures at the front, but will likely quietly incorporate it in it’s life on its own. Likely to be a meet, greet and move on. The Moon was on Betelgeuse when the 1st tower was struck on 9/11.

Moon’s North Node is retrograding to trine Saturn in Sagittarius. Moon’s nodes are thought to link to past lives. The South is what we did, the North is how we want to balance that. In Leo, it is calling for Heart and Light, radiant being, a creative Spirit! Saturn is thought of as the Reaper, what we sow is what we get, or it is what we are responsible for. Sometimes we owe from past lives. In the process, we work toward Dharma, the work of the Soul. Often I find people who are living their Saturn, doing the work it symbolizes, are the happiest! Moons Nodes and Saturn symbolize a harmony of Moon, Mother, and Saturn, Father/Time. Leo to Sagittarius can be inspiring performance, teaching, sharing the best we have to give!

There are two outer planet combinations that the New Moon opens gateways to and prepares us for.

• First is the Sep 23 and 27 Jupiter inconjunct Chiron and opposite Uranus! They are the third and final aspects of their sets of three each. The new Moon is directly tied to all three! Jupiter is scouting for learning, healing. In Libra it wants to establish a friendly relationship, an open exchange. Jupiter may cheer Chiron in Pisces out of some of his wounds and worries. Chiron intuits Jupiter’s excesses and cheerfulness that covers any fears and failures. Ok to fail. Sometimes better that happened! This work is of great interest to Virgo who seeks natural balances, cures, and working relationships.
• Opposite Uranus in Aries, Jupiter in Libra is at some moments appalled by the indignity of seemingly aimless rushing about, yet is intrigued no end and finds himself in a new cosmic culture, dancing the dash! Haven’t had so much fun in ages, who cares what you look like?! Libra’s social meter may meet max trying to keep up with all those new acquaintances, but there is so much to learn and he doesn’t want to miss a thing! Extraordinary! They can make tremendous achievements together! Uranus has the genius and research; Libra knows the law and gets the patent!
• Second is Saturn square Chiron, exact November 2. This is not considered an easy aspect by many. If Chiron is a/the wound, and Saturn slows healing down, it just isn’t fun. It can be your love life, your body, your work or business, school, attitude. For centuries we’ve largely ignored the wisdom of those among us who are still directly connected to ancestral ways of knowledge. If you haven’t paid serious attention before and some real work needs to be done, this time you may make a breakthrough and make a fresh start in the right direction. Find a real teacher/healer, maybe an indigenous shamanic healer. You may get over the fear of making a commitment or taking on something bigger than usual. You might be called on to do it on your own as others may have troubles of their own. Give them any help you can. You may be frustrated with limits, but perhaps they are keeping you safe for the time being. Time may feel like it is standing still. It teaches poise and patience. Just stay steady, stay with it.

Those of you who tinker with the numbers probably have noticed the Virgo New Moon at 27 Virgo 27! In astrology, the 2nd and 7th signs are Taurus and Libra, both Venus ruled. May Love and Beauty prevail! 2 + 7 is 9, as this New Moon completes the Mercury Retrograde cycle over a course of five lunar events!

As one lunar cycle ends, a new one begins. There is a maturity, ending, gratefulness, letting go, moving on. Natural. Take some quiet moments, have a circle gathering, rest, assess what’s up and in the wind. The foundation you have built will stand you in good stead for what’s to come. Sign by sign we follow the stars through the Year. Virgo is sign 6, halfway through, soon to tip the scale into Libra! Most honorable.

Blessed be ~
