Taurus! Natural and Sustainable!

Rain Gardens and Bioswales are getting more and more creative and lovely! Water your trees, collect water, prevent runoff and flooding, restore your water table. Take advantage of a low spot on your property, or use curb cuts to direct water onto your property! See if your area offers rebates for water saving landscaping, water storage.

Historically we were all pretty natural. Times changed. We got cities and farmers to feed them. We got herders and cowboys to provide meats from the great ranches of the West. Dairymen to provide milk, butter and cheese. Trucks and trains soon carried everything to market – lots of pollution. Nearby food farmers were pressed to provide the quantities needed, used chemicals to make up the difference. We got automation for everything and a need for speedy and fat production. We didn’t know what we couldn’t know, yet standards were set by the most wealthy producers. Some things were done to save production money and there was a built in lack or toxic conditions that came with the price tags of convenience. Both humans and animals perished. Tauruses today are still on the recovery side of environmental things that got out of hand.

Taurus is ruled by Venus. Elementally, beauty is what is in our hearts. People see that and we are beautiful. Tauruses may use no beauty aids at all or use clean cruelty-free and natural makeup and skin care products, soaps, shampoos. Tauruses are pioneers in clean beauty and have helped pave the way for more good brands to follow. Some Tauruses are beauty specialists, experts in facial design, making amazing safe and natural cosmetics and healing creams, do beauty shows of all kinds – about both the physical and what a beautiful Spirit is! In old fashioned terms, sometimes Tauruses have long, rarely cut, full hair that practically glows! They may have a lovely beard just like many old masters.

Clothes are important to Taurus. Not necessarily as a power symbol, but for natural healthy comfort, ease of wear, durability. In the 20s they loved those flowered flour/seed sacks. Sweet and cheap. Natural clothes are now a full blown industry from the growing of the plants to super fashion shows! The clothing can be geared to comfortable every day wear to extraordinary very graceful summer party wear or gorgeous evening outfits or on the runway. Not only are they pretty, but good on your skin, and sweet to the touch, especially when dancing close! Some may specialize in durable outdoor sports and sturdy work clothes and boots. No chemicals used.

Tauruses do love to eat! Food industries have taken a huge turn! The FDA considers the term “natural” to mean that the food contains “nothing artificial or synthetic.” Plus, “natural” foods may not contain color additives. More of us are thinking fresh and organic, no plastic packaging, purchased from a loving source. Now we want natural animal food for herds, animals raised for meat or milk, flocks (chickens/eggs), for our beloved house pets, for each other and our children! We want to be sure what we eat is raised happily in healthy habitat and humanely killed. We go to natural foods eating places that make you feel good/better every time you go there. Your kids and guests love it too. Maybe they have an outdoor section and you can bring your pet!

Live more simply, avoid toxins! Household and laundry cleansers and detergents, kitchen and bath care items, are being rethought for more sustainable production, safe for land and sea, for humans and animals. That’s a tall order, but it is happening.

Natural work can be in nature! Park work, management, a fire lookout, fireman! Do cooperative extension field research work with university specialists on crops or farm animal care, own a farm, fisheries. Do sophisticated sustainable landscaping, soil remediation and build using natural materials. Be the local dog walker, trainer, get into humane animal rescue, assist at disasters! Camp leader with kids in programs! You can always get into construction and do major earth moving, mining, or be a truck or train driver! Be a recycling maven! Think of biosecurity – restoring habitats, habitat and endangered species protection, better storm water use. Remember these words Slow it. Spread it. Sink it. Store it! Here is a terrific comprehensive Guide to Beneficial Stormwater Management and Water Conservation Strategies at home and in your town.

With computers we can do all sorts of work for people in the field. Tauruses specializing in climate, earth changes, can link with people all over the world to collaborate, learn from each other’s trials, not duplicate each other’s work, see where fixes and updates are needed the most, raise funds, gather teams to do the work! We can see where or not dams are needed, why, where, when and how to bring the Beavers! Become a Naturalist and teach worldwide! Improve your portfolio by learning how to do well with environmental stocks, options and futures.

A naturally happening relationship with a lot of sharing, working together can be the love of a lifetime. Taurus appreciates being loved for being himself as much as his reputation. It’s being loved with benefits. Mmm…. They like sitting shoulder to shoulder, doing good things for their loved ones, neighbors and community. Their bond is elemental through thick and thin. The basic things they love about each other are the kinds that don’t change. They like it smooth and steady, dependable. They naturally understand basic behavior, both good and bad, don’t take offense quickly, are patient and do forgive. They know it takes time to learn. They keep moving.

General ailments are vulnerability to colds, coughs, sore throats, laryngitis, swollen glands, stiff necks, and to minor injuries around the neck. Bad stuff is hanging, strangulation, asphyxiation. Health excellence is derived from the natural best! Sunshine, fresh air, clean water, strenuous hard sweaty clean-your-pores work. Using the herbs your Grandma used, found along a trail, in your garden, are natural detoxers, strengtheners, ones that maintain wellness daily or seasonally. Pure touch from a wonderful masseur, a gifted chiropractor, acupuncturist keep our organs in top function without drugs. Tauruses love furry pets. And pets are known for their amazing health benefits for humans. Good caring friends keep us in a cheerful state of mind. Don’t miss out on the knowledge of a good and loving Doctor! And take your own advice, LOL! Bless all.

Longevity is achieved! Clean thinking comes from deep genuine thought allowed by time out. A meandering walk in the park, along the stream, a skyline. At church with a loving leader, teacher. Meditation alone or with a Master. Yoga to powerful martial arts like Tai chi. Simply doing things you love and deliberately attending to your breath make a vital difference.

We are so happy to be here sharing with you, loving and loved by many.

In coming time, we will be bringing our best into planet wide collaboration. Pluto in Aquarius 2024 to 2044, 20 years!

Taurus Overview 2024 to April 2025!

Taurus is the Sign of Earth – World Wide Earth Day is April 22!
Santa Barbara CA’s Earth Day celebration is the weekend of April 27-28! 

.

Many of you have been tracking Pluto’s sign change into Aquarius. PLUTO made that stupendous 246 year sign change into Aquarius Mar 23, 2023! We need Aquarius to be strong, in working order, integrated and grounded among ourselves, in our communities, internationally. Pluto will be in Aquarius a total of 21 years, until January 2044!

.

Pluto does retrogrades back into Capricorn for a final checkup and review Sep 1 to Nov 19 before reentering Aquarius to stay! See Pluto in Aquarius     Pluto in Capricorn     Pluto’s First Seven Years in Aquarius 2023 to 2029   The 2023-4 Cap/AQ Retrogrades
.
Taurus challenges Pluto in Aquarius. First Taurus is opposite Pluto’s sign Scorpio. Second, Taurus squares Aquarius. Taurus and Scorpio are ‘fixed’ signs, known to be strong. When they disagree, neither may give an inch, for a long time. One day, as a third party comes along in a favorable combination with them both, some ‘translating’ may happen, and they see some possibilities may have developed since their agreeing to disagree occurred. Or, they operate in favor of a mutual goal, each upholding the tenets of their different strengths. Taurus may hold the lands, properties. Scorpio may bond them into corporations with strong leaders, leading to future gains. Taurus wants respect of Earth, sensible sustainability. Scorpio sees the essence of why that makes sense over long times, future, works at healing and cleaning up any toxic concerns, protecting all, establishes reserves and safe habitats for animals, safe clean living for humans.

.

Taurus is a mighty steadfast sign. Guards what is sacred. He shows us how to live in harmony with Earth. Produces materials for our use, grows organic foods for our body’s sustainable health. Aquarius is an Air sign, the sign of higher mind. He loves freedom and creativity, discovery ahead of its time. Tauruses often bring us back to indigenous ways that have always worked. Aquarius looks to the collaboration of all beings, internet and networking. He can play intricate computer games, and look for new ways to get the indigenous incorporated into modern living! Together, Taurus and Aquarius can make this world a better place. Taurus’s tempo takes the time it takes, while Aquarius is faster than the speed of Light. It may take some adjusting to communicate well. Reports first, so each knows what to talk about, then a personal meet. AQ knows to allow a little more time but how to move on and not go crazy. Several short meetings might work perfectly. Taurus may need to get to the point, stay with his priorities. It’s not likely a park bench chat. They could alternate meets specifically one, then the other responds at the next meet. Gives each intervals to think.

.

Taurus won’t be pushed around, so he can stand his ground with the other two, not be tricked or intimidated. He sees. He waits when necessary. He knows that sometimes they need to experience what he’s talking about in person, hands on. They learn he is most often right and begin to listen keenly. He likes Pluto getting monies in order, funding. He’s quite intrigued by surprising Aquarian ideas to add to his tool chest, glad to put them to work. Aquarius is generally unpredictable as it should be! They start acting as a team once they get to know each other better!

All of us have Taurus in our charts. There’s that place where the sign is, the 2nd house is the natural Taurus house, Venus is the Taurus planet. Each of us functions like an Taurus in those places. No two of us are 100% alike, not even twins! We thank you for the special blessings you bring so patiently and kindly.

We have SIX Jan through June 2024 Stelliums! Plan ahead to use these periods of concentrated energy per their signs! See the details: Stelliums of 2024  See the details and dates about the ones we are in now, the Taurus and Gemini Stelliums!

Birth chart stelliums are with you throughout your life, being perfected to become a super tool in your life. In the sky, stelliums are living entities changing as various planets enter and leave. Some are very brief, others ebb and flow over a period of time. Some are the minimum 3 planets not including Mercury/Sun. Others may be up to 8 planets. The Most Famous recent 7 planets stellium was the Feb 4 1962 New Moon Dawning of the Age of Aquarius chart. More recently was the Feb 11, 2021 Age of Aquarius, SIX Planet New Moon AQ Stellium! Some referred to it as a 2nd wave of the ‘Dawning of the Age of Aquarius!’ Currently astrologers are including Pluto going into Aquarius as a profound time as well. The Ages are long, roughly every 2,150 years per sign! Even 100 years would be a reasonable time frame for a transition from one to another. I think we could easily include 1962 and 2020/21 events and Pluto’s being in Aquarius in 2023 – ’44 as part of the process.

Taurus has his own Stellium, 25 days, April 29 to May 23. It has TWO 5 planet stelliums, one is 5 days, May 15-20! That second(!) in Taurus 5 planet stellium has a super FOUR planet conjunction of Venus, Taurus’ own planet, with Uranus, Sun, and Jupiter, all in only 8 degrees! As Venus closes with Uranus on the 18th, they are in only 6 degrees! Taurus’s stellium has two outer planet anchors, Uranus and Jupiter! FIVE planets in Taurus twice: May 6-8, May 15-20!

Taurus passes the baton to Gemini. Gemini’s stellium is June 3 to 16, only 13 days, but potent it is! June 5-7 has FIVE planets in Gemini, the New Moon on the 6th. It has a sweet conjunction with Venus, all at 16°! Jupiter moves into Gemini May 25, becoming Gemini’s anchor planet too! This is the last 2024 Stellium!

The 2024 stelliums finish early June, so get them noted on your calendar to specially use their potency specific per sign! See about them all! Check in with your astrologer to see what you can glean and give.

Saturn in Pisces, the last sign of the Zodiac, is a time of reckoning, getting clear with your Soul! It is also maturity and completion. The dreams of all the signs merge and become collective desire, an ultimate responsibility. Saturn can harness those dreams and build them to come true!

Compared with Pisces’ sensitivity, Saturn can seem to be a brutally blunt instrument at times. Pisces is not used to being limited or channeled or pummeled into submission by someone else’s command. At times he simply, like water, slips through your fingers. Just the same, Saturn may bar or protect you from an experience, or demand you to take your responsibility in its behalf or to let go because it’s done now! One or all can be a blessing or an ordeal to each other, probably a little of each until they get used to each other. Pisces understands Saturn all too well. Sometimes Saturn simply just loves giving orders; it’s what he does. Pisces wants so much more. Orders without a spiritual cause, without Soul or empathy are short of the mark. Saturn may be a bit shy about that factor. He may be a little intimidated by this limitless wonder who often calls the shots better than any business man Saturn has ever encountered. Respect starts. Pisces realizes Saturn is more deep than anticipated and has good intent though Saturn’s demeanor may belie that at first.

Saturn is generally in a sign about 2 1/4 to 2 1/2 years, so we aren’t talking about a minor experience. As it traverses ALL your chart factors, you will feel different facets of the experience. Some will be more difficult than others. You might see your astrologer to track its path while in the sign. If you are a Pisces, a super sensitive sign, you especially may find it helpful, collecting your powers and applying them with astute psychic accuracy. When Saturn believes in you, he will do his best to see your dreams built and come true! If your Saturn is in Pisces, at some point during Saturn in Pisces, you will be having your 28/29 year Saturn Return! It may be a profound time of knowing the Dharma of your life, refreshing, updating your outlook on your purpose this life.

Saturn in Pisces is importantly about building empathy. Empathy will be much needed as Pluto goes through Aquarius, and retrogrades back into Saturn’s sign Capricorn! Saturn will guard us from having too much empathy too long, being naive and misplacing our empathy, being scammed. Saturn humbles us to let go of our arrogance, develop a deep caring. With Pluto in Aquarius there will be intense awareness of great differences among the peoples, from hatred to fear, cults to family feuds, simple misunderstanding. We will need to get to know each other and it won’t be overnight. Saturn was new in his sign for only 17 days before Pluto became new in Aquarius! Each made newbie mistakes, were alternately excited or OMG, what have we gotten into, what have I done?! In the beginning trial and error slowed us down, making for tiring long days for many. Saturn in Pisces holds the visions and though sometimes down hearted, will usually come through steady and doing his best even with tough odds. Some will try to take advantage of vulnerabilities; others will stumble along, while still others will stand back and look for new ways to heal the planet! There will become amazing love of people and things we never expected.

With Saturn in Pisces, there will be reality checks on that wandering Pisces imagination. Saturn figures out how to put it to work! There will be less wandering aimlessly, confirmation of the realities of dreams, daily visible progress, oceanic trade and environmental laws to be made. They will survey the seas and shores, the importance of millions of miles of shorelines, prevention of pollution – debris and chemicals, assurance of abundant long term ocean harvests. Saturn may find himself on an ocean safari while in Pisces, or gone on the wind taking the computers to the surf zone when the surf’s up, whichever continent that may be on! Working from ‘home’ takes on new meaning! Really! Can be done!

On land, Saturn in Pisces may bring a deluge of cold water and ice, more snow. Or there may be no water at all. Water conservation and collection may be undertaken due to new insights as to the severity of conditions. In Pisces, Saturn is sextile Capricorn, his own sign. Capricorn may give successful fundamental oversight in guiding these important projects, reviewing and updating, keeping them on track. He tracks to be sure Pisces’ good intentions are carried out! Cold wet OR hot and dry, building secure shelters will be a necessity. In hot times cooling the land, building cool sustainable homes, setting up cooling shelters, and air conditioners, may be vital. There is satisfaction at holding an important piece of life in your hands and doing good by it! Any congratulations are well earned. Saturn in Pisces

Neptune is in his own sign, so he is carrying the purity of Pisces. He has already laid ground work for Saturn, knowing that he is coming. He is the God of the Sea, the old Master of Spirituality! He is the Dreamer, the All See-er. Saturn is the planet of the 3rd/last Earth sign, the Master of Grounding and practical magic, carries the wisdom of elder hood. They each help each other. Saturn guards Neptune’s delicate fragilities, vulnerabilities while dreaming, seeing. Neptune sensitizes Saturn further than ever before, showing him how to be safe in the process. Neptune is getting stronger in applying his insights. Saturn is gaining perspective. Even the strong are powerless at times and they often do even better when that state is achieved.

Neptune enters ARIES March 30, 2025 with the imminent April 4 Saturn sextile Uranus! It’s the sign change that inaugurates the 100 Days of FOUR Outer Planets sign changes in 2025! In Aries, Neptune is in a harmonious sign with Pluto in Aquarius, Fire and Air signs. It’s a new era  for them, and they will make their final 13 sextiles July 24 to Sep 15, 2026 through Feb 29, 2032 from 4 to 14° Aries/Aquarius! This completes their 82 years sextile! 

Neptune in Aries is a 168 year sign change. Neptune has been strengthening is his own sign Pisces since Feb 3, 2012. He will retrograde back into Pisces 10.22.25 until 1.26.26, then stays in Aries until May ’38/Mar ’39, 14 years. Neptune’s rep is the same as it’s sign Pisces, spiritual, psychic, dreamer, compassion. Artist, musician, drugs/alcohol. Fisherman, cruise ships, lover of the sea and world, preacher, savior, baptism. He has been preparing to launch into Aries. It will take all kinds of strength to make his insights come to life! Aries will help him. Many times he has stood alone with his beliefs, sometimes hiding for his life, sometimes the victim of his life, now, comparatively speaking, he’s out in the open. It will be steamy! Time for steam baths and sweat lodges, steam cleaning your vehicles engine! Aries is the sign of Initiation, firsts, leadership. Aries has always been intuitive, as first responders have proved, but now he will be even more so. And there will be a more spiritual component. Aries may be feisty, is a great mechanic! Neptune sees him, his temptations to break the rules. And at times that’s exactly what they will do as they bring outstanding changes into play!

JUPITER entered Taurus May 16 2023! It was a damper for some, while for others it offered a rest and a deep organic sense of well being! It will heat up education and advocacy for Earth, our home. Some have been waiting so long for the coming significant changes. Once in Taurus, Jupiter does retrograde, but stays in Taurus until moving into Gemini May 25, 2024. It’s cycle is 11-12 years, so those of you with your own Jupiter in Taurus/Gemini will be having your Jupiter returns!

Jupiter, Sagittarius’s planet, is looking for purpose with integrity! It takes a core truth and educates as many as will listen to why it is meaningful and worthy. Jupiter has a bold and confident way, expands, embellishes, gives extra! It’s edifying, LOL! Jupiter likes to play and tell whopper stories, laughs big laughs with gusto, has a great big dog and rides the winning horse! The sign lucky Jupiter is in, is the sign that succeeds and prospers, the sign that trainings occur in. Major tours are possible and successful impossible dreams come true! It’s time to push the river a bit while the Gateway is open!

Jupiter in Taurus may be slower, but none the less powerful. In a ‘fixed’ sign, he likely holds strong opinions and possibly a wrestling trophy! His bench presses are phenomenal. He has staying power like long distance truckers. Marathons are no problem. He likes money whether on the hoof, cash in pocket or reliably invested, especially in land and minerals. Taurus loves touch, sex, massage, natural beauty, fine scents, good food and common sense. Calm restfulness, centered peace, being grounded, having patience are treasured traits. Jupiter in Taurus simplifies, installs and grounds the successful new projects, makes them sustainable, maintains and upgrades them for posterity. In Taurus he organizes vast estates, recovers the lands’ fertility, stockpiles the finest materials for future use. He has one of the strongest, most healthy beautiful bodies around! See more Jupiter in Taurus    May 25 2024 Jupiter goes into Gemini while the Sun is IN Gemini!    Jupiter’s exciting next aspect is the super financial June 2 Jupiter trine Pluto! It happens only Once, so get your financial research done and be ready to invest in the best!

As signs change, talents are commingled, the Path between them becoming a usable channel. Jupiter in Pisces, Aries and Taurus, soon also Gemini, will develop their own smooth channels. In Pisces-Aries, it is super aware, sensitive, instantly reactive! Groups of crusaders are attracting and further developing adept leaders, rich with innovative foresight! The beauty of the Aries to Taurus transition is that Aries passes the baton to Taurus for safekeeping! Taurus holds the precious ideas of Aries until they can take root, are successfully able to maintain their own life. Taurus to Gemini is like sharing all the valuable information Taurus has guarded that Gemini may scatter it across the world! We can all think about it, add our own, further disperse it! Biodiversity at its finest. When Pluto entered Aquarius, Jupiter was at 17° Aries in a FIVE planets Aries stellium including Sun and Moon, a double Aries Chart! Aries is THE Action sign! That’s what I call a NEW beginning! See the stunning chart!.

A LOT is happening in Taurus this year, not only during Taurus but throughout the year! Live the magic! Go through the Portals! Please see the complete Taurus Newsletter – the Annual Celestial Highlights Overview Section! Thanks!

100 Days of FOUR Outer Planets sign changes in 2025! Be ready to make many adjustments throughout 2025! There are a LOT of aspects in 2025! No matter what you are doing or planning now, what you plan for each of them, as the signs change, so will your plans! Three of those sign changes are more long term and are the backdrop for the planets aspecting each other. Two of the planets and Pluto are higher consciousness planets. Some changes will just happen – no previous thought, as part of the ungovernable sweeping collective consciousness proceeding at its own level.

What we need to do now is finish up what we have going. Get ready for being able to be flexible, standing strong on our foundation.

What we want now will quickly be the past as new beginnings of all kinds require our full attention! With Pluto already having been in Aquarius, intense with new ideas, new perspectives are bursting forward inspiring us to fresh freedoms never had before or even anticipated. Genius ideas are worth doing, no going back! The old will be replaced by the new with no apologies. There will be fumbles, but no stopping. Things will go forward!

They will most strongly be felt by those of you with planets in the last 3 degrees of signs and the 0, 1, 2 and 3 degrees of a sign. In late degrees, you always live on the brink, bringing things to maturity, readying and setting the foundation for the leap into new territory. Those of you in those three earliest degrees are always eager for inspiring new beginnings, living on chances and exploration, being the first, sometimes pure and innocent! We will be trialing new ground. Give it a chance. Nothing will be settled right away. Creation is in full swing! Evolution continues.

Mar 30 Neptune, on its 168 year cycle, arrives in Aries, stays through March 2039!
May 24 Saturn goes into Aries too, a 29 year change, 2¼ to 2½ year stay!
June 9 Jupiter goes home into Cancer. Sign per year.
July 7 Uranus zips out of Taurus into Gemini, on an 84 year cycle, a 7 year sign shift.

It could easily take a year after that to make adjustments and settle into the changes and new wants.

With these planets on such differing lengths of cycles, how rare for them all to change signs in only 100 Days! If you thought things were popping with Pluto at only 2, 3 degrees Aquarius, wait until these change all at once and activate him more! Keep your eyes open and hang onto your sox!

Neptune and Saturn will be sextile from Aries. Uranus will be trine from Gemini. Three positive launch combinations support Aquarius in these early new times. Jupiter is skeptical from traditional Cancer, but sees the others doing well and soon feels safe to join in. After all, someone has to mind the store and the kids, keep everyone fed, give hugs to the hard workers, no matter how old or odd they are, LOL! Besides, Cancer is a great business person, especially with successful, fame and fortune Jupiter in her sign! Fun too!

2024 Aries Mercury Retrograde, Jupiter Conjunct Uranus!

Neuroscience News features neurology, psychology, AI, mental health, robotics, neurotechnology and cognitive sciences. A groundbreaking AI language model is illuminating the complex relationship between clinical symptoms and brain tissue abnormalities. By analyzing medical summaries and tissue samples from the Netherlands Brain Bank, the model provides new insights into disease progression and the challenge of diagnosing brain diseases accurately.

Aries rules our head, skull, mind, eyes, reactive instinct, muscles and blood – lots of reasons to stay fit! Mercury is how our mind works, how we learn. Jupiter is how we learn what it all means and the integrity of how we travel our life. Uranus is higher mind, genius, awakening collective consciousness! It turns the light ON! 

Mind changing is provocative! Let’s do it! During this Aries Mercury Retrograde cycle pay attention to your thinking patterns, where they lead you. If you shift/change the pattern, what happens? If this RX activates your chart, do your patterns and outlook change when Mercury retrogrades?

The last time Mercury was retrograde in Aries was March 11 to 23 in 2012. It was brief, a two sign retro with Pisces. Perhaps you remember something special about that time. Our last Rx was in earth and fire, introducing fire to our retrogrades! This one is full on fire, Aries the first fire sign, pure and spunky, independent with lots of initiative, gives inspiring leadership! Next is late summer in Leo/Virgo, athletic playtime, work and daily health.

Technically, our first 2024 Rx ended Jan 1, but this one is really our first Rx period during 2024!

The significance of this Retrograde is that it is part of a 15 Days Aries Eclipse Stellium April 4 to 19. April 7-9 Moon makes 5 planets in Aries, which includes the April 8 TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE! New Moon 11:21 AM Pacific! In Santa Barbara the Eclipse is at 11:11A Pacific. Find the exact Time at your location! The Eclipse exactly conjuncts CHIRON by degree AND minute! See the details and CHART!

Retrograde CYCLE is March 18 from 15 to 27 Aries May 13.  RETROGRADE is April 1 to 25!

TAXES are due April 15, so you might want to get them done and sent so they are received as soon as possible before April 1! Best is to get them there on or before March 28 the 8 day before the RX station starts! Get a delivery receipt. If that just doesn’t happen maybe have a pro do them for you. If you do them yourself, do them verrry carefully!

Spring is a perfect time for an Aries Retro; it includes Earth Day! Get your bikes and outdoor gear ready to go! Take a look at your AstroLocality, see the complete Mercury Aries Retrograde Timeline for further details, and plan a perfect action packed adventure! Might be the start of a new life, look good on the resume later!

This Retro includes three super events! April 4-19, is the Aries Eclipse Stellium! That means a concentrated force for new beginnings, independence, being the first to arrive, taking action with a passion, plenty of excitement! April 7 to 9 has FIVE planets in Aries and includes the April 8 Total Solar Eclipse New Moon! This Eclipse will be visible in the US, people will come from all over the world to see it! Eclipses are a direct line up, in this case of Earth, Moon, CHIRON and Sun! It’s a time of channeling healing, love and Light! They are followed by the April 20 Jupiter conjunct Uranus! It’s a two planet lineup, but they are potent game changers! Many will never be the same again. Major networks will form engaging in collective enLightenment, to earthquakes and huge air flight happenings. Whether bad or good, Jupiter makes thing BIG! If you are doing marketing, do it at this time. If your health flares up, Jupiter can find a super way of healing for you, uniquely to you with Uranus present!

The day after the Jupiter/Uranus conjunction, April 21, Mercury starts his Direct/Forward 8 day station. It is a time to ponder the retrograde happenings, the important Jupiter/Uranus discoveries, how to disperse the findings. Sun in Taurus has been in a week long challenging square with Pluto dealing with vital matters. Love/divorce, costs of elder care, losses/gains, what to live for, rebirth/death! The pondering proceeds past Mercury Direct the 25th, on through the 28th. Keeper ideas are selected and anchored in place for the long haul. Mercury in Aries will cover the ground in a short time. This station encompasses Earth Day 22nd, the Scorpio/Taurus Full PINK Moon the 23rd.

Mercury in Aries is super quick on its feet and with instant reactive perception, learns fast! Perfect in emergency situations. Aries is boundless with new ideas, is so happy when you follow his lead! Experimentation is 100% natural and boredom is too, so, Next! Be the first! Distraction goes with the territory. There can be warrior like overdoing exercise, a need to eat well but quickly – no eight course meals please. Kids in classrooms are bored with all mind emphasis, need challenging action! Aries rests once in a while. Be careful with your head and watch where you are going! Being a consultant, working with challenges, doing what you love may be a gift. A special Initiation may occur. If you love an Aries you have to keep up! Caution buying vehicles, especially hot racing vehicles, LOL! Look but buy after the direct station ends!

In retrogrades, expect to be frustrated and frazzled. Assertive, impulsive Aries wants to move ahead, and all of the energy is going backward. Watch what you say, when and how you say it and to whom. Things are not hard facts during retros. Leave plenty of room for mind changing, discoveries. Pay attention to what people say; you might be pleasantly surprised. Reset, refresh, reload frequently. Give it some time…

Mercury is somewhat kin with Aries. It is associated with the nervous system, the brain, the respiratory system, the thyroid, and the sense organs. No breath, no life. It’s that important. To speak is to breathe! Aries puts that breath to the test! Mercury isn’t exactly known for being physical like Aries, but mentally he can keep up even when he sleeps! But Aries sees Mercury’s great mind, and definitely helps him get  O₂ to his brain! Exercise, clean air and fresh thinking, yes! Mercury quickly gathers the data they need to get where they are going! Mercury also has the map, LOL!

It’s not a time to streamline or change your bookkeeping system. Make notes and if you still want to do it after Mercury turns forward, do it then. Generally not a time to buy a new car or bike, exercise equipment.  Shop and wait is a good policy. Use your intuition about surgeries, but err to the side of caution, choose only expert veterans to do required work during the Rx. Read up on health options. Start a veggie garden! In general, welcome revisions that make things work more smoothly. Wait to do long term costly renovations. Hear out new ideas and get back to them later. Pay attention to technical information and don’t let it slide away bringing you to a delaying standstill. Distractions may be tempting, but time wasting and non productive. Stay focused, keep your priorities. Hard as it is, it will pay to wait.

Generally retros are not a marriage time. Unstable, and Aries is fast at mind changing. And Aries is often not a marrying sign. They love new love! Give a relationship with them plenty of time to test it. Say no to eloping no matter how glamorous and fun it sounds! If it’s good now, it will still be good later, and you can still elope, LOL! Give it that six month minimum trial time. This is even more true if either one of you IS an Aries!

Sometimes retrogrades can bring a lover back into your life. The general answer is no, no way. Temptation may temporarily give it another try. Usually it is a refresher about why you parted before. With Aries is less likely they will return to you or it will be very short duration, because they prefer new! If you are the Aries going back, if possible, hold yourself in check for the Rx. If you still want to after the Rx passes, then see what happens. Give it the usual SIX months minimum if you are considering a remarriage. If all goes well, Congrats!

Important Retrograde Direct Stations!

Mercury Stations are eight days, four days before and after direction changes. They hold position focusing, solidifying, grounding and anchoring thoughts that are keepers. Flaws are noticed, acknowledged, repaired or updated. They create a starting point, working out details that will keep us humming in time to come. In Aries this happens quickly mentally, one thought leading to another even if they are standing perfectly still! There can be tremendous focus almost like when the sun starts a fire through a crystal ball! Just by being there, they can burn their way through! It’s a time of emphasis. Getting pure and clean, white light! At times there is an innocent power that people listen to because it has a literal ring of truth. Keep up with your physical exercise so you don’t go crazy waiting for the results to happen!

The RETROGRADE station starts on March 29. It continues past Easter the 31st, Retros on April 1, continues through the 5th. The station is late in Aries at 27 Aries 13.

It ponders the possibilities, looking forward to exciting potentials! From that vantage point, the Rx proceeds, covering the same locations again but with more mature eyes. It’s a 180 direction change, so things are seen from a totally different perspective. Certain consequences become apparent, corrections are made, doors open to fresh beginnings. It may be a frustrating nuisance at times, for an Aries especially, but things get better. They don’t slow down just for a direction change. Even going back is ‘new!’  

The DIRECT Station starts April 21, Directs April 25, continues through the 28th.

Mercury rests at the turn forward point, pondering newer possibilities now that things are in better order! Ah, sweet release. We are back at the beginning, 15 Aries 58, where it all started, rarin’ to go again. It will be the best now! Faster, smooth action. Don’t fight it, fix it! Finish details to perfection, streamline ahead! It might seem you lost time, but in the long run, it saves time!

Special REPEATED ASPECTS!

Mercury covers 15 Aries 58 to 27 Aries 13, just a bit over 11 degrees. That’s a very short Retrograde span and only one repeated aspect occurs, Mercury conjunct Chiron in Aries! Though it’s a short span, it’s a 25 day Rx, just a little longer than the average 3 weeks.

Mercury conjuncted Chiron the first time March 20, will conjunct Chiron 2 more times! See the Retro Timeline for full context! Mercury is scanning the Chiron in Aries updates, spreading the word of the best ones! The sooner our health is improved, the sooner we have an improved quality of life, mental outlook. Chiron is part Medicine Man, modern practitioner! During his time in Aries, he is operating independently putting healing modalities together per each client’s particular needs. He is so happy for the news Mercury brings. New cures are such a blessing. Chiron has healed Mercury as they connected and Mercury finds himself more clear headed.

The three dates are March 20, April 15 Rx and May 6. Mercury is the communicator, ruler of Gemini, the Word, and Virgo, getting the job done, the organizer! Both have strong minds. Gemini is the chatter data gatherer from many sources and passes it along quickly to all the right places. Virgo uses a lot of information in research, helping with finances and health. It’s a monumental task, well organized, every detail noted.

Conjunct Chiron, a teacher and healer, there is a natural camaraderie offering information services, testing new remedies, giving instruction. Cleaning and anti pollution services may save lives whether it is pets or people. They may get people outside for exercise and general good cheer. They can help you learn how to do things, be more independent, get your body going again. Chiron in Aries may have a special gift with children, especially babies. Aries isn’t happy with being feeble, so this may be a good time to take care of some elder matters as well. Be good to yourself. Look for some new solutions to long standing, perhaps chronic issues or acute pain, whether physical or mental. Mercury is good in Aries to responsively talk you through things, not waste your time. Chiron instinctively has brilliant suggestions that will specifically work for YOU! With retrogrades, things aren’t usually instant. They take the time it takes to assimilate, adjust, get used to what’s new. And that’s ok. The relief is well worth doing it well and thoroughly.

None of these dates fall at either 8 day station, so things will be moving right along. In Aries it’s more like you gotta keep up, Honey!

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

Updated 3.17.24

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

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

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

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

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

Mercury is the planet of the Mind, thinking, our attention, our breath and lungs, how we learn to learn, communication skills, gathering data, paperwork, signing contracts, a hand shake, the laying on of hands. In the world at large it is also communications of all kinds, transportation and commerce. All of these are essential. 

Mercury has two signs! Air sign Gemini is Mercury’s first sign. Mercury is heady, there is little that isn’t interesting and little escapes its attention whether audio, visual, a shift in the air movement/a quick intake of breath, release of a sigh. Earthy Virgo is Mercury’s second sign that focuses on details, looks for perfection, expertly organizes and applies the data Gemini secures, is semi grounded! Both are known to be ultra busy! Gemini listens fast, often replies while you are still speaking, has questions! He uses his hands to speak with, is ambidextrous! Virgo writes the book, has multiple duties, organizes the finances and everything else, won’t go home, just has one more detail to finesse. She worries about her and your health. They are quite different, you see. 

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

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

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

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

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

The RETROGRADE station ponders the possibilities, looking forward to exciting potentials! From that vantage point, the Rx proceeds, covering the same locations again but with more mature eyes. It’s a 180 direction change, so things are seen from a totally different perspective. Certain consequences become apparent, corrections are made, doors opened to fresh beginnings. It may be a frustrating nuisance at times, but things get better. 

The DIRECT Station rests at the turn forward point, pondering newer possibilities now that things are in better order! Ah, sweet release. We are back at the beginning, where it all started, rarin’ to go again. It will be the best now! Faster, smooth action. Don’t fight it, fix it! Finish details to perfection, streamline ahead! It might seem you lost time, but in the long run, it saves time!

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

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

In retrogrades we may be at another stage or encounter an addition to something already going on in our personal chart. Also, the degrees of this retrograde have to be in connection with your personal chart or it will have little to no effect. There can be a turning away from things we are done with that we never thought we would change about, yet here it happens…old ideas are simply abandoned, spent and done.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Classically, marriages are not scheduled during retrogrades. They are simply unstable. Check with your astrologer. First be sure your basic compatibility is in especially good order. If that is good, be very careful with those wedding dates. Look ahead for timing that may be better for you. Be wise and wait. A marriage chart is like a birth chart; it is with you the rest of your marriage. 

Sometimes retrogrades, especially Venus RXs, can bring a lover back into your life. The general answer is no, no way. Temptation may temporarily give it another try, but usually it is a refresher about why you parted before. Aries is less likely to return or it will be very short duration, because they prefer new! Sagittarius just keeps traveling but may pass your location on their travels. Fun but doesn’t stay. Aquarius just likes freedom. When some signs close the door, it generally stays closed – Cancer and Scorpio. Other signs have various responses. 

If you are the one who wants to go back, if possible, hold yourself in check for the Rx. If you still want to after the Rx passes, then see what happens. Give it the usual SIX months minimum if you are considering a remarriage. If all goes well, Congrats!

Refresh and update your skills. Valuable changes have been processed!

Retrogrades can drive you crazy and still be a terrific asset if you know how to use them! The most successful corporations often have many retrogrades.

Taurus Champions of the Earth! Earth Day April 22!

Taurus 2021-22 Celestial HighLights, Timeline, Overview!

Nemonte Nenquimo didn’t ask to be a celebrity, not to become friends with Oscar-winner Leonardo DiCaprio, nor to be named by Time magazine as one of the most influential people in the world. 

What the indigenous rights activist wanted was for her four-year-old daughter to live in peace, surrounded by the richness of the Amazon rainforest, in her ancestral lands deep in the middle of Ecuador. We don’t have a birthday for Nemonte, but she looks she has some sturdy Taurus strong in her.
 
When Taurus takes a stand they don’t give up and they don’t surrender until the goal is achieved! They have a powerful spiritual momentum, a beauty of persistence, a gentle and patient constitution, a charge that can make the earth shake when they reach their limit! 

They can do as they are told, but there is a reserve that no one can alter. They can wait. They are keen observers as they stand absorbing nutrition from the earth, as it passes through their various stomachs, extracting what they need, seeing things from different angles. When they are so still, like the Buddha by the road, feeling no threat, others often show their true colors. Taurus can feel subtle differences, a deeper motive, pain others suffer, the secret talents they have, who they are in their deepest Soul. They recognize where we are fragile and need protection. They steadily nurture what we can be in our Hearts. We become strong. 

Everyone is young once, sometimes fearful and stubborn in what we think are safe points of view. As we develop personal strength, we are more free to listen to difference, find ways to collaborate. The Earth herself is calling us to work together, merging many lines of thought to a greater whole.

Taurus has a well of creation of natural beauty. Sculpting of grace, stone that brings humble tears. Cosmetics, cosmeticians that sculpt our looks that bring us to our knees in gratitude for making us know we are loved and lovable. Fine fabrics that adorn our homes, make magical clothing, keep us warm. 

There is a kind love for those who can’t speak for themselves. The four leggeds, the Trees of Life like in the Amazon, the Ocean and all it’s beings, even the jewels in the sky – Mother Moon, Father Sun and the jewels of the heavens, the Stars. 

Nenquimo, winner of the 2020 United Nations Environment Programme’s Champions of the Earth award for Inspiration and Action, has continued that legacy of environmental stewardship. But her weapon of choice has been a modern one: the lawsuit. 

Tauruses are sensible. They can get right to the point, the basics. Since this is the Lunar Year of the Metal/Gold OX, maybe you Tauruses will be even stronger!

You don’t need the Force to be with you; you already have it.

The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) has officially honoured 12 environmental changemakers that include a president, digital disrupters, scientists, activist movements, entrepreneurs, among others with the 2019 UN CHAMPIONS OF THE EARTH Award and the YOUNG CHAMPIONS OF THE EARTH Prize!

Whatever is in store for you, may it be blessed with the company of your loved ones and flowers forever! Wonderful photo by Emily Wren Photography Tauruses love their furry friends!

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

2021 is a super special AQUARIAN TIME! The February 11 SIX planets stellium Aquarian New Moon may have inaugurated a 2nd wave of the ‘Dawning of the Age of Aquarius!’ 59 Years ago in Feb 1962, the New Moon Eclipse chart had seven Aquarian planets and lasted longer. Saturn and Jupiter are in Aquarius, made the Great Conjunction Solstice Dec 21 2020! 2015 to 2024 Uranus, the planet of Aquarius, has been and is the lead outer planet. Minor but potent, Chiron has been semi-sextiling Uranus for 13 years, grooming Uranus for the shamanic humanitarian healing work he will be called to do! 2021 has numerous outer planet aspects in Aquarius and ones formed to Aquarius’s planet Uranus, plus, Jupiter sextiles the Galactic Center three times! These prepare us for Pluto entering Aquarius March 2023, Pluto on a 248 year cycle! 

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

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

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

Jupiter in Aquarius will bring a year of exceptional opportunities, especially for Aquarians! The sign lucky Jupiter is in, is the sign that succeeds and prospers! Saturn’s previous entry into Aquarius virtually shut down the airlines; Jupiter will revive them given certain conditions! Airlines, electronics, communications, organizations for sustainable change will flourish at new levels. Many patents will be filed, robotics, flying cars included. Jupiter in Aquarius! 

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

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

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

Jupiter returns to Aquarius July 28, to stay until Dec 28 when he re-enters Pisces to stay. The Aquarian and Piscean talents will be commingled! Hopefully groups of crusaders will learn how to work together in current times, accomplish great deeds. Knowledge for all through the internet will keep us immediately informed, focused on task, adjusting priorities quickly!

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

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

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

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

Since that last 248 years ago we now have bombs, climate change, electronic communication, robotics, and a helluva a lot more people on the planet. Water and weather wars are possible. Actually, water wars are already starting – Detroit, Standing Rock. We need to reassess our mandates for leadership – age and both physical and mental health. There are going to be some bumps. Some say, after the kinks are worked out, there will be a ‘Golden Age!’ Make it so. 

Young people born around 2003 will be about 20 at that time and from 20 until they are 41, will live this period. Their lives will be about this world changing time. Help them now. Prepare them to be strong and steady leaders then. 

2021 Jupiter and Saturn activate Chiron and Uranus. 

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

Chiron in Aries & Uranus in Taurus make the last two semi-sextiles of their 13 years long sets of aspects, the final one May 3 2021! Though a ‘minor aspect,’ they are still potent, especially so, because of their duration. Because Uranus is the Aquarian planet, has held the lead position of the outer planets since 2015 and will through 2024, these current aspects can be added to the list of Aquarian type aspects making a total of 20 in 2021! Their significance is finally surmised now, in their last year of semi-sextiles, as we see Jupiter, then Saturn aspecting them throughout 2021! Uranus, the planet of Aquarius, is becoming a more Shamanic humanitarian. Chiron is acquiring a more humanistic range of healing and teaching. They have been working steadily in the background, an essential part of strengthening Aquarius. See more about Chiron/Uranus

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

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

The GC, Algol and Pluto!

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

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

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

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

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

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

Those of you with your Saturn’s from 6 to 23 Aquarius will be having your 28/9 year Saturn Returns in Taurus’s year! 

Lunar patterns! Those of you with factors close to 12 degrees in your charts will be activated by 7 New Moons from Oct 2021 to March 2022. Jan and March 2022 will have two New Moons in Pacific time zone. For Full Moons the 27th degree will be activated 8 times Sep 2021 to April 2022. If you have factors at or 3 degrees of both 12 and 27, all those New and Full Moons will activate you in sequence through the signs! Set a goal and approach it from every angle, every sign!

Jupiter Aquarius Sextile Galactic Center Sagittarius!

I Set the Sky on Fire by Czech fractal artist Eli Vokounová / Eliška Voko

Nov 21, 2021 Note! 12:12, Dec 12, is the big day, the last of the sextiles!

In the late 1960’s, astronomers finally honed in on the GC (Galactic Center) with radio and infrared instruments. They were astounded by the immense energies to be found there. We now know there is a huge Black Hole called Sagittarius A-star at the center, about the size of a large star, containing the mass of four million suns. The staggering amount of material being drawn into the black hole radiates energy at many frequencies.

According to “Astrophysical Directions” by Michael and Margaret Erlewine, energy emerges from the GC over 2 entire degrees of longitude near the last degrees of Sagittarius. Perhaps it is even more than that.

Some interesting observations have come to light about the late degrees of Sagittarius. Famed Horary astrologer William Lilly, 1602-1681, is the source of our observations on the Void-of-Course Moon. He observed that the Moon is not really Void-of-Course in late Sagittarius. Prior to the discovery of the Galactic Center, 27 Sagittarius 08, no astrologer would have known why.

THE special event of 2021! Interspersed with the Jupiter and Saturn sextiles with Chiron, squares to Uranus, Jupiter in Aquarius stunningly makes three sextiles with the GALACTIC CENTER in fiery Sagittarius! 

Including these three galactic aspects, there will be ELEVEN major outer planet Aquarian, the stars, aspects in 2021 alone! And there will be 4 aspects to the Aquarian planet! All these are acting sequentially teaching us about Aquarius. This is essential to strengthen Aquarius and Aquarians before Pluto enters Aquarius March 23, 2023! See Pluto into Aquarius  

► The most exciting aspect of 2021 happens three times: Earth Day, April 22, retrograde Aug 20 and Dec 12, Twelve Twelve. Jupiter will consult with the gods and goddesses of the heavens! The GC is the center of our Galaxy, the Milky Way. Jupiter, the far traveler, has no problem with such a journey, especially while in Aquarius, the very sign of the heavens, stars and flight! Lucky Jupiter is the planet of Sagittarius, the home of the GC! Perfect combination, and how apropos to the Aquarian emphasis at this time! Jupiter will be our emissary, a generally broadminded sign with a huge perspective, has a gift to discover possibilities of the future! The GC will not fail to transmit, infuse, present magnificent infinite consciousness stirring insights and instruction. We have three chances to take it in, grow with it.

The Galactic Center is at 27 Sagittarius 09. If you have factors in your chart that match up to within 5 degrees of that 27th degree, you will be called. Unlike with fixed stars, only 1 degree allowed, the Galactic Center is HUGE! If you are involved with meditation, circles, consciousness raising groups, if ever there was a time to tune in, it is NOW! 

Factors in your Birth chart within 5 degrees of your natal Galactic Center position will be activated by this profound point your whole life. You may be a sci fi fan, love fantasy! Relative to Earth the GC moves a degree every 72 years, just like the stars. Here are some excerpts about the GC:

• Kim at Galactic Center Astrology: Some say it’s an opportunity to ‘download’ new information, divinely inspired insights from higher guidance. Others say it opens the subconscious mind and lets us release blocks and limiting beliefs.
• Phil Sedgwick is less poetic: [The GC] blasts open the root chakra in the energy system. This chakra releases the old, regenerates our energy, and lifts us off our duffs with renewed inspiration and a sense of real progress.” And: “The Galactic Center acts like a satellite dish, directing divinely inspired information straight to the potentially receptive gray matter of our brains. If you believe in God, this might be the voice you hear. Regardless, within this connection you have the ability to pull down wild information which you would otherwise have no way of knowing.”
• Paul O. Hewit writes: “it is probably the second strongest spot in any astrology chart, following the Sun. It is a stunning source of energy, motivation, and aspiration. The Galactic Center is the Sun of our Sun. It is the source of most of the gravitational energy present in our galaxy, and probably the source of most of the energy in any chart, transformed through our own Sun.” [Some say the GC IS the strongest factor in our charts!]

The GC, Algol and Pluto!

Algol’s connection with the Galactic Center! Fixed star ALGOL and the GC are in lockstep! Each being star factors, they each take 72 years to move a degree. From the point of view of Earth, Fixed star Algol and the GC are in lockstep! Each being star factors, they each take 72 years to move a degree. Currently Algol is at 26 Taurus and the GC is 27 Sag. Whenever one is activated, so is the other. Algol and the GC have an oblique position (inconjunct), aware, but out of the corner of your eye. That position is common in the charts of psychics.

If you have questions, do see your astrologer.

Dec 12, Pluto is at 25° Capricorn and moves only 3° a year. Since Pluto is an outer planet, some might only allow a 3° range for it to be in connection with Algol. Pluto retrogrades back and forth through the degrees as it travels Capricorn. Anytime it is between 23 Cap 27 to 29 Cap 27, it will trine Algol. That period started Feb 2020 and will go through Jan 2024. It is now continuously trine Algol. Exact trines are formed 5 times: on Spring Equinox Mar 20, & June 5, 2021, and in 2022 Jan 17, 2022, Aug 29, Nov 16.

The Three Special days…

Heaven and Earth! April 19 the Sun enters Taurus, Earth’s sign. Earth Day, April 22, Jupiter AQ sextiles GC 27 Sagittarius 09 the first time. Venus conjuncts Uranus in Taurus that same day. There is a profound love of Earth. While you are traveling high in the sky, take a look and see how Mama Earth is doing, what she needs. Take a few moments to absorb free floating thoughts from the GC! Travel to a high mountain with a 360° mega view. Do a complete panoramic. Take a virtual tour later! Have patience and peace, like the Buddhists, do no harm.

August 20 is the second sextile, second chance, a review and adjust. Uranus, planet of the stars, is in retrograde station, standstill, the 19th and Sun is in his own sign Leo opposite Jupiter retrograde in Aquarius. The Aquarius – Leo seasonal Full BLUE Moon is the 22nd – the second Full Moon in Aquarius this year, the first one occurs July 23, 2021! Leo is the sign of our Sun, our own star. Lot of galactic energy. The retrograde sextile is a second chance at the same item from a different angle. Fire sign Leo, the Heart of Light, trines, most favorably aspects the GC. He puts a personal stamp on the situation and brightens the odds! 

Dec 12, Twelve Twelve, is the last chance, the opportunity to polish it up, secure the gains. It establishes a platform for the work to come. The Sun is in Sagittarius, the GC’s sign, Mercury our planet of communications is conjunct the GC, and Venus blesses Pluto, who is currently connected with the GC, and there’s more! Sag is the sign of learning our trade, University, perspective and long term planning. Ethics are important, being true to your Spirit, sharing opportunities. Have faith and trust. Sun makes his Annual GC Conjunction the 18th, carrying enormous Light to Winter Solstice, Dec 21 and the New Year. Both are times of special new beginnings. Carry them forward!

These three aspects will continue to root around in our consciousness. Once we have been open to seeing, there is no going back. The channel happened once; it can be done again! There is no unseeing it, and we will probably soon want more! Sometimes we will remember a particular moment, refocus, regather our friends, update our process. Feels good. 

Going to be different for each person, but here it is like a Wave of new Consciousness shifting us to a greater vantage point! Some will not ‘feel’ it at all, it is a lot etheric, and it may not activate their personal chart. Others may be a bit dizzy with almost overwhelming awareness, bedazzled by the brilliance, breathless with excitement, not enough time to put it all into play! 

When Jupiter conjuncted the Galactic Center 12.19.19, I wrote: ‘It feels like you have the whole Galaxy at your fingertips! You reach out so far you can forget where you came from! And it doesn’t matter. You just be the best you can be everywhere you are. The Galactic Center, GC, is a monumental point of infusion of collected Light of all the stars, not just our Galaxy but other star systems as well [it is a gigantic black hole!]. Open your mind and Spirit as much as you possibly can. Don’t bother about articulating or judging it; absorb it. You can sort it out later. If you, as one person, want to be heard, when there are events at this point in the zodiac, be sure to vote, speak for what you want! We are heard collectively. Humanity progresses as it can; joining up with the Galactic Beings can boost the process.’ Now it is time to vote again – three times!

Be prepared for the ride through the stars! Pack your jammies and your best dress, tux! Jupiter loves long trips and this is the big one in this Galaxy! Jupiter is very good at BIG! Get all your molecules 100% clean to absorb every amazing bit! Allow the infinite synapses to coalesce as you go! Be prepared to witness things you didn’t know existed. Try not to make judgments, just witness. Your heart will feel so free and generous. Just let go and move on. You will feel such a plenitude of being, having a capacity you didn’t know could happen. Sharing and teaching will take on new meaning. Tune in at all three events. If you can organize a spiritual Circle, all the better. Blessed be.

‘Always be on the lookout for the presence of wonder.’ ~ E.B. White

Aries, An Innocent Wise Fool!

Aries 2021-22 Celestial HighLights, Timeline, Overview!

This is artist Lisa Sterle’s version of The Fool in her Modern Witch Tarot Deck! See it! 

There is a light which cannot ever be extinguished.
It is inside of you.
It IS you.
~ Neale Donald Walsch 
 
Aries is the first sign, the flame of Initiation! Fire is Light to see by, shows our Path. It is the impulse to burst into glory, delightfully impetuous, innocent and fresh in each new moment! Never the same again.
 
Spring Equinox is the springboard! We are poised at the divine balance of Light and Night, stepping forth from its dawn into the part of our year that carries more light than night, that warms Mother Earth, grows our summer crops, brings parties to our hearts. Aries falls in love with many new blessings instantly. Aries cheers and blesses each step we take forward. Exuberant and refreshing, renewing, open your eyes, wide! Praise be for the wonders, our very breath, every invigorating moment! In gratitude, we dance the Spirit of Life!
 
Aries covers so much ground, it is like living 3 lifetimes in one, they are practically immortal! Poking, peeping, exploring, inventing, fixing quickly, saving the day, first responder, fighting fires, planting seeds, turning the Lights ON!
 
Aries has the insane and charming courage of a daredevil at times. We eat challenges for breakfast! Once the challenge is over, it is next! Love ‘em and leave ‘em! They often don’t marry, have a super independent streak. Better be well astrologically matched to keep this one. You may love the free time as they are off being knights in shining armor, or be zesty enough to go shoulder to shoulder with them helping the underdog in heroic battles of a lifetime!
 
You can guess Aries does most of their thinking on their feet, and it’s fast! Bicycles, race cars, speed sports with thrusters, require instant decisions and reflexes. They can feel every nuance at top speed. They and their machines are one, often winners. They don’t wait. They talk things over quickly then live it now! What a gift!
 
If you want a job done quickly for safety, for an emergency, they thrive working under pressure and are adept at making temporary fixes to get you back up and running. No boring jobs for them. They just move on. People welcome them because of their many talents and quick insights. They tackle jobs bigger than themselves, are quick learners. Great consultants, coaches, are often independent contractors.
 
Aries is not a sit-around psychic in the studio. Their instant on-their-feet perceptions as first responders of all kinds save many a life, bring peace to a dangerous situation. They assess the entirety of what’s happening and take fierce action, sometimes a bit unorthodox, but it usually works.
 
Of course they can be grumpy and irritable. Living with others, slowly, waiting, can be frustrating. Yep, sometimes they have quick tempers, and even when they have small stature, people take notice. David and Goliath. They aren’t afraid to fight, sometimes just nutty ego stuff, other times to keep you safe, defend your rights. Generally they don’t stay mad long. Anger management might help if needed.
 
Worldwide there are many kinds of Rams. Some make luxurious fur, others don’t. There are domesticated varieties and the super hardy head butting wild mountain Bighorns that surely bring those independent genes to our handsome Aries champions to this day. Aries likes being upfront, face to face, and will stand up for what s/he believes in.
 
In tarot, Aries is equivalent to the Fool Card that has no number, is 0, zero. The Fool steps out into the unknown, confident that all will be well. S/He is new-born with unlimited potential. Because of this power to step into all that is unknown, some think he is already enlightened…
 
Blessings on this brave Soul. We thank you and thank you for the important place you hold in our lives. If you can do it, we can, or we will follow your powerful leadership. Lamb, Ewe or Ram, carry on!

I choose to live in what Thoreau called, “an infinite expectation of the dawn.”

Aries Overview of the Year to Come…
.

Dawn over Anza Borrego Desert State Park, CA! How about another road trip?! Spring is an epic time to visit the dry places! Pink is a fine Aries color, a combination of Red for Action, White for Purity! By Ron & Patty Thomas

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

2021 is a super special AQUARIAN TIME! The February 11 SIX planets stellium Aquarian New Moon may have inaugurated a 2nd wave of the ‘Dawning of the Age of Aquarius!’ 59 Years ago in Feb 1962, the New Moon Eclipse chart had seven Aquarian planets and lasted longer. Saturn and Jupiter are in Aquarius, made the Great Conjunction Solstice Dec 21 2020! 2015 to 2024 Uranus, the planet of Aquarius, has been and is the lead outer planet. Minor but potent, Chiron has been semi-sextiling Uranus for 13 years, grooming Uranus for the shamanic humanitarian healing work he will be called to do! 2021 has numerous outer planet aspects in Aquarius and ones formed to Aquarius’s planet Uranus, plus, Jupiter sextiles the Galactic Center three times! These prepare us for Pluto entering Aquarius March 2023, Pluto on a 248 year cycle! 

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

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

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

Jupiter in Aquarius will bring a year of exceptional opportunities, especially for Aquarians! The sign lucky Jupiter is in, is the sign that succeeds and prospers! Saturn’s previous entry into Aquarius virtually shut down the airlines; Jupiter will revive them given certain conditions! Airlines, electronics, communications, organizations for sustainable change will flourish at new levels. Many patents will be filed, robotics, flying cars included. Jupiter in Aquarius! 

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

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

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

Jupiter returns to Aquarius July 28, to stay until Dec 28 when he re-enters Pisces to stay. The Aquarian and Piscean talents will be commingled! Hopefully groups of crusaders will learn how to work together in current times, accomplish great deeds. Knowledge for all through the internet will keep us immediately informed, focused on task, adjusting priorities quickly!

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

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

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

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

Since that last 248 years ago we now have bombs, climate change, electronic communication, robotics, and a helluva a lot more people on the planet. Water and weather wars are possible. Actually, water wars are already starting – Detroit, Standing Rock. We need to reassess our mandates for leadership – age and both physical and mental health. There are going to be some bumps. Some say, after the kinks are worked out, there will be a ‘Golden Age!’ Make it so. 

Young people born around 2003 will be about 20 at that time and from 20 until they are 41, will live this period. Their lives will be about this world changing time. Help them now. Prepare them to be strong and steady leaders then. 

2021 Jupiter and Saturn activate Chiron and Uranus. 

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

Chiron in Aries & Uranus in Taurus make their last semisextiles of their 13 years long sets of aspects Mar 31, staying close through their last aspect May 3 2021! Though a ‘minor aspect,’ they are still potent, especially so, because of their duration. Because Uranus is the Aquarian planet, has held the lead position of the outer planets since 2015 and will through 2024, these current two can be added to the list of Aquarian type aspects making a total of 20 in 2021! Their significance is finally surmised now, in their last year of semi-sextiles, as we see Jupiter, then Saturn aspecting them throughout 2021! Uranus, the planet of Aquarius, is becoming a more Shamanic humanitarian. Chiron is acquiring a more humanistic range of healing and teaching. They have been working steadily in the background, an essential part of strengthening Aquarius. See more about Chiron/Uranus

► The most exciting aspect of 2021 is Jupiter sextile the Galactic Center three times! Earth Day April 22, Aug 20 and Dec 12 – Twelve Twelve! Jupiter will consult with the gods and goddesses of the heavens! The GC is the center of our Galaxy, the Milky Way. Jupiter, the far traveler, has no problem with such a journey, especially while in Aquarius, the very sign of the heavens, stars and flight! Jupiter is associated with Sagittarius, the home of the GC! Perfect combination, and how apropos to the Aquarian emphasis at this time! Jupiter will be our emissary, a generally broad minded planet with a huge perspective, a gift to discover possibilities of the future! The GC will not fail to transmit, infuse, present magnificent infinite consciousness stirring insights and instruction. We have three chances to take it in, grow with it. The Galactic Center is at 27 Sagittarius 09. If you have factors in your chart that match up within 5 degrees of that 27th degree, you will be called. Unlike with fixed stars, only 1 degree usually allowed, the Galactic Center is HUGE! If you are involved with meditation, circles, consciousness raising groups, if ever there was a time to tune in, it is NOW! Paul O. Hewit writes: “it is probably the second strongest spot in any astrology chart, following the Sun. It is a stunning source of energy, motivation, and aspiration. The Galactic Center is the Sun of our Sun. It is the source of most of the gravitational energy present in our galaxy, and probably the source of most of the energy in any chart, transformed through our own Sun.” [Some say the GC IS the strongest factor in our charts!] It moves only a degree every 72 years, so you can easily get the degree it was when you were born. Have your astrologer calculate its exact position for you.

The GC, Algol and Pluto!

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

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

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

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

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

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

Those of you with your Saturn’s from 6 to 20 Aquarius will be having your 28/9 year Saturn Returns in Aries’s year! 

Lunar patterns! Those of you with factors close to 12 degrees in your charts will be activated by 7 New Moons from Oct 2021 to March 2022. Jan and March 2022 will have two New Moons in Pacific time zone. For Full Moons the 27th degree will be activated 8 times Sep 2021 to April 2022. If you have factors at both 12 and 27, all those New and Full Moons will activate you in sequence through the signs! Set a goal and approach it from every angle!    

Local to Galactic, let’s work together for enhanced results!

May every moment be vibrant! Many blessings to you!

Taurus 2020 ~ Peace in Action

Taurus 2020 Celestial HighLights

Taurus ~ Peace in Action 

July 2019: Ethiopia Plants 350 Million Trees in 12 Hours, Breaking Tree-Planting Record! When these children are grown up, their country look very different than it does now. Taurus plays the long hand, has the strength for steady growth, makes lasting investments. See Ethiopia’s chart, Taurus is in it’s 7 & 8 houses, balance and survival investments. It is a Virgo nation, another Earth sign like Taurus, and is willing to nurse the land, do upkeep. It’s Saturn & Moon in Cancer work hard to nurture the land.

All over the world reforestation is taking place. Africa, the Amazon, Australia, along the Andes, China has planted 66 billion trees so far, India – 50 million trees in one day, and on and on. July 2019 Ethiopia Set the World Record for Most Trees Planted in a Day! The country came together—and installed 350 million trees in just 12 hours. November 2019 it was announced ‘Los Angeles plans to plant 90,000 trees in two years.’ Literally billions of trees are being planted. It makes a difference in so many ways, but first of all to water. Water is life, water is necessary for growing food. Every Taurus knows food makes us strong, and cows have four stomachs, one for every direction, LOL! The issue of carbon sequestration is under discussion as we learn more.

Taurus is the Sign of Mother Earth, Earth Day April 22, Arbor Day April 24. Taurus has 100% instinct about tending the wild, tenderly feeding the young, the balance of Nature. Taurus’ connection with Nature is truly mystical. They are grounded, often love being barefoot and taking that heady breath of the deepest scents of our sphere, spiritual perfume. Venus is their ruler. There is an abiding patience to see plants grow. Taurus has the same strength as their animal, bulls, cows, oxen, the strength of Atlas who held Earth herself. Atlas knew the earth and today we call our book of maps an Atlas.

And now we have the comet Atlas, Light! Just when the world needs support. As the hero Atlas stood below, we now have support from above, something to literally look up to. Per Japanese comet expert Seiichi Yoshida, ATLAS might become faintly visible to the unaided eye by the end of April or beginning of May. By mid-May, the comet might reach second magnitude — as bright as Polaris, the North Star. During the final week of May, as the comet disappears into the glare of the setting sun, it possibly could attain first magnitude or brighter. That is, if it still exists! There’s a chance that Comet ATLAS might completely disintegrate when it arrives at the sun’s vicinity at the end of May…perhaps no longer needed.

Astronomers are stressing caution: comets are notoriously unpredictable! Don’t you love it? A living mystery! As one site says, Sizzle or Fizzle!? Tune in while it’s here! Be inspired, be ‘enlightened!’ Though it may ‘end,’ and that is often good, it shows the way, possibilities, and that vision remains! It’s up to us to make it so.

Taurus is the sign of our neck, the atlas bone – the topmost vertebra of the backbone, articulating with the occipital bone of the skull. Tauruses often have beautiful melodious voices and sing while working in the fields together. Or they may lead an OM or the chant at vespers in the ashram. They have powerful volume and may sing a tender or rousing opera!

May 8 is the Buddha’s Birthday, Wesak! It is in Taurus and the Buddha was strong in a different way. He sat under the great Bodhi tree without moving for 45 to 49 days depending on accounts. World Pranic Healing says: Om Shanti Om is the mantra of peace. Om is a sacred word that is recognized universally as a sacred sound. The mantra Om purifies our mind and soul and takes our incarnated soul closer to our higher soul. Shanti is the Sanskrit word for peace. The word may stand for calmness, rest or even bliss. Stand still until you can really see.

There is a lot to learn about the balance of our world. Planting trees is only a part, and that can be complicated. Humans, the beings on Earth – from microbes to massive. Personally you can create supportive microhabitat right where you live. Flowers for bees and birds, the right milkweeds for monarchs. Safe places for our children to be with nature. Sharing respectfully with your pooch in public places. Support research for understanding and curing diseases. Connect with grace to humans of other cultures. Exchange wisdoms. Open to new possibilities!

If you want to reach further, consider supporting or joining organizations like EarthJustice, Friends of the Earth, the Nature Conservancy, Sierra Club, or Union of Concerned Scientists. There are many more to choose from as fits your Spirit. This year take your vacation in a special location volunteering to plant trees.

See this wonderful action video of 8 Billion Trees fighting deforestation in the Amazon! Do you think Amazon might be a feminine version of Atlas? Let’s keep her strong.

Taurus, ruled by Venus, is known for patience, loving kindness, being steady in the Light. Be there.

Taurus 2020 Celestial Highlights!  

Moon, Venus and Jupiter Will Align to Form a Smiley Face May 16! It’s visible only in the evening sky for a short period after sunset! But it looks like there is a little one May 12 in the morning too!

Jupiter is by far the brightest of the threesome, beaming some 7 times more brilliantly than either Saturn or Mars. Jupiter ranks as the 4th-brightest celestial body, after the sun, moon and the planet Venus, respectively. But Venus is an evening object throughout May 2020, leaving Jupiter to rule over the May 2020 morning sky.

Although Mars and Saturn are almost equally bright (Mars is a tad brighter), there are other ways of distinguishing Saturn from Mars. First of all, Saturn shines in close vicinity to the king planet Jupiter, and these two worlds will remain close together on the sky’s dome for the rest of the year. Find dazzling Jupiter first, and that nearby bright world will be the ringed planet Saturn any time this year.

Thanks always to Bruce McClure for our heavenly treats at EarthSky!

As fellow astronomer AstroBob says, ‘We live here – can you believe it?’

Taurus Overview of  the Year to Come!

Untouched natural beauty or enhanced with great care! Cosmetician or Beautician, Plastic Surgeons are therapists who listen to you, are hands on healers, give you more confidence, help you appreciate what’s special about you. This isLashkarat work in Gwalior, India. Beauty is sacred.

In 2020 we are finishing the sequence of aspects that will strongly affect the Nov 3 Presidential Elections. It started with the Oct 30, 2018 Pluto conjunct the Ecliptic, a once every a 248 year event that was 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.

In 2020, Jupiter exactly conjuncted the Pluto/Ecliptic position 18 Capricorn 58 on Feb 26! In addition, Oct 12, 2020, Jupiter sextiles Neptune at 18 Capricorn 45! Notice how that 18th degree comes up so many times! We are meant to remember, be reminded not to forget, to work it steadily.

All those before Jan 12 2020 prepared us for the 22 Capricorn Jan 12, 2020 Saturn Conjunct Pluto and the March 21 4 Planet Capricorn Stellium, The Crown! at 23-29 Capricorn as Saturn changed signs into Aquarius! The last Jupiter Sextile Neptune Oct 12 will carry the energy on late into 2020 just before the Nov 3 Elections. The question will be, just what exactly do we mean to do with Pluto now below the Ecliptic?

The CROWN! March 21 2020 When Saturn was about to leave Capricorn, the three outer planets, along with activator Mars, were in culmination, as close as they could get, all four in a 7 degree Stellium! Pluto was at 23°. Peter Novak has studied outer planet stelliums and found that in the last 2000 years, allowing a 5 degree range, there were only 23 three outer planet stelliums! Yes, if he had allowed 7 degrees, there would be more, but still, they are uncommon. See all about The Crown!

There were 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! 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.

I first posted about what I dubbed The Crown in December 2018. Little did I know that by now, we would be dealing with the CoronaVirus/COVID-19 pandemic. In Latin, Corona(virus) is Crown. The four planets in the Crown stellium are 1) Mars (infections) is the activator planet of the Crown. 2) Jupiter expands (travels, spreads) 3) Pluto both kills and heals (financial-market). 4) Saturn (quarantines, closings, canceling major events, no work) is the scientist trying to stop it. This is the impending matter Saturn will continue to face while in Aquarius, the sign of humanity.

► The invisible aspect running in the background is a preview of Saturn square Uranus! The minute Saturn entered Aquarius March 21, they were square in less than 5 degrees! They hover at just about 5 degrees apart until May 10/11 when Saturn retrogrades. Saturn makes his final entry into AQ Dec 16, 2020. By Jan 2 2021, they are back in 5 degrees range again, getting closer until their first exact square Jan 17, 2021 at 7 AQ! They square their 2nd time June 14 at 13 AQ, and their last time Dec 23 at 11 AQ. For now they are experiencing the energy. Difficulties are hinted at, dancing around each other. They are getting used to the friction, differences of style, working at solutions, thinking on things. See more…

April 4, 2020 started the 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 happened on or about Jan 12, 2020 will be on the table at election time.

Whatever demons or glory, tragedies or triumphs formidable Saturn with Pluto shall have faced, Jupiter will optimistically pick up the pieces, repurpose, or create worse! Jupiter can make bad bigger before it gets better. If it isn’t worse, Pluto will see the promise of mega profit financially and spiritually. It will be an explosion of clearing for future works, secrets discovered, major funding attained, ‘keepsakes’ will be in the plans to be built ~ like a mini renaissance! Bad will be healed, the rest is hallelujah! LOTS of big news! Super power plays will abound as the Nov 3 Presidential Election approaches.

Heads up! April 4 and June 29 Jupiter conjuncts Pluto the first and second times. From the second week in March through July, most potently April 4 through June 29, Jupiter closely conjuncts Pluto the entire time! Along with the excellent possibilities, sadly, it can be mass tragedy, even evil personified. More powerful secrets made, concealment and lies to cover. Be ready to help, protect yourself and others until this period passes. Seriously start making alliances with capable and trusted family, friends and associates now. Keep your emergency kit and supplies up to date for on-the-ground environmental conditions possible in your area, have a plan in place. The aspects will be potent at 21 to 26 Capricorn. If you have factors at or very close to those degrees you may be called into action. Challenges for Aries, Libra and Cancer, Gemini, Aquarius and Leo. More easy for Taurus and Virgo, Scorpio and Pisces.

The third and final Jupiter conjunct Pluto is Nov 12, at 22 Capricorn, the same degree and sign as the Jan 12 Saturn conjunct Pluto! This aspect is the last major aspect link of the whole set that started Oct 30, 2018! It carries the experience of the previous two Jupiter/Pluto aspects, Truth and justice may come. Jupiter empowerment may make it that bad prevails. It may be time to stabilize your wealth for future progress! It is the upcoming aspect when the Scorpio Presidential Elections are held Nov 3 2020. Again, some things that happen on or about Jan 12, 2020 will be on the table at election time. All told, this election will have far reaching effects.

► Two outer planets, Saturn and Jupiter, change signs during Taurus’s coming year. Dec 2, 2019 when Jupiter skipped into Capricorn, instead of 3 planets in their own signs, we then had 3 outer planets in ONE sign, Capricorn – Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto! The 3 outer planets were in Capricorn until Saturn entered Aquarius March 21, 2020! Saturn will retrograde back into Capricorn July 1, 2020, and again, there will be 3 in Capricorn until Saturn makes his final shift into Aquarius Dec 16, 2020. Saturn will again be in his own, a more conservative sign, Capricorn, along with Jupiter and Pluto, for the presidential elections. See more about   Saturn in Capricorn

1940/41, 1983, and very briefly in 1998, 3 outer planets were potently together in the same sign but in different signs each time. If you include Chiron, it will be 50 years before three outer planets, will be in a same sign again, and it will be potent right from the start! Jupiter conjuncts Pluto and Chiron at 2 and 3 degrees ARIES, March 13, 2070! With stelliums, like these, the planets bring their different talents together, have like mind, and are in Unity of Purpose per the sign they are in!

Capricorn is good with, relies on Taurus for substantial backup. Saturn prefers steady progress. Aquarius is truly a bit wild for Taurus, but Uranus, the AQ planet, has been in Taurus since 2018 and they are fairly used to each other now! Taurus is noted for patience, and it’s long suit is outwaiting a disturbance. They see nature take care of things. Aquarius can get lofty and Taurus brings back common sense and grounding. Taurus reminds them it’s not just an ardent creation, but one that needs to be applied to the needs of the people as well! So the genius is called to do that creatively too!

Jupiter is in Capricorn all of 2020 until its late in the year, Dec 19 entry into Aquarius just three days after Saturn’s final entry into Aquarius! It gets things done in Capricorn, though finds certain constraints to its natural do anything anytime nature. Education and travel are proving to be limited, as expected. But Jupiter sees further than limitations and converts them to assets! New business plans are already in the offing. New opportunities abound! Taurus may feel relatively safe to invest in what fellow earth sign Cap feels ok with. Jupiter in Capricorn!

Jupiter in Aquarius will bring a year of exceptional opportunities. Saturn’s entry into Aquarius virtually shut down the airlines; Jupiter will revive them! Airlines, electronics, communications, organizations for sustainable change will flourish at new levels. Jupiter in Aquarius!

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

Jupiter in Aquarius is like lightning! Things will happen quickly. This will be one of those periods when time itself seems speeded up! Jupiter in AQ knows the importance of immediate networking planet wide and how short a year’s window can be. Saturn has already been laying the groundwork. The possible collaboration of this team can have outstanding results much sooner than expected. Taurus may need to be pushed to invest or be part of such startups, rampant progress. Just do trials and see, invest or add to ongoing programs as they develop to your satisfaction. The challenge will be to broaden your horizons, make new friends, and don’t miss the boat, LOL!

► With The Crown and Saturn’s sign change into Aquarius, a new powerhouse set of aspects began. Saturn’s sign change has more significance than at first glance. It starts a long chain of Aquarian/Uranian aspects through Feb 2022. Saturn remains in Aquarius until March 7 2023, when it slips into Pisces only 16 days before Pluto’s sign change into Aquarius March 23, 2023! All the coming Aquarian/Uranian aspects prepare us for Pluto’s sign change! When Pluto comes, Aquarius will be able and ready. We need to strengthen Aquarius because Pluto rules Scorpio, a sign that can be ruthless, not usually friendly with Aquarius. Groups, both good and bad will be powerful. Coalitions could form or could be murdered. Even being healed can be uncomfortable. Sometimes it’s tough to get genius Aquarian’s attention. Looks like it is going to take Pluto to get Aquarius to focus and use all his extraordinary mental molecules. Pluto’s role as the Phoenix that rises from its own ashes, mixed with the valence of Aquarius the Awakener’s powers, one way or another,  will have exceptional results. There will be a learning curve, some bad, some great. Things will never be the same as we have known it again.

Pluto will be in Aquarius for 11 years, until January 2044! All those Aquarian flavored aspects will give us a head start. We’ll do Pluto in Aquarius better! Pluto was last in Aquarius 248 years ago, 1777 to 1799, a period of uproar and change all over the world. And it won’t be any different this time! Guarantee! So get your friends and alliances/networks in order, stand up, get used to acting progressively, and be ready to roll!

Dec 21, Winter Solstice, Jupiter and Saturn merge their efforts in what is called the Great Conjunction! This is Jupiter’s first aspect in Aquarius and is the first aspect of the Aquarian sequence! The conjunction occurs every 18 – 20 years – not so rare. However, this time it is in Aquarius! The last time it was in Aquarius was 1405; the next will be in 2080. So when you see people saying it’s rare, it is and it isn’t! Jupiter will cheer Saturn up, get away with laughing with him and at him! They will have fun and Saturn’s business with thrive. When it is serious it will be VERY serious. Then they will laugh again and carry on!

2021 starts with four more Aquarian aspects. Jupiter initiates connections with Chiron and Uranus. They are just once each, Jan 11 Jupiter in AQ sextile Chiron, Jan 17 square AQ’s planet Uranus. Jupiter is first considering purpose, plans, perspective. Saturn carries these planetary connections to Chiron and Uranus on throughout 2021. Feb 9 Saturn in AQ steps in sextile Chiron, then Feb 17 squares AQ’s planet Uranus! Saturn will make these aspects three time each. If Jupiter hits the nail on the head, Saturn will anchor it to build on further. Chiron the healer/teacher in Aries, the Leader, is called on first to guide the way. Then Uranus is challenged. Friendships and alliances will shift due to new needs. At first there may be a seeming standstill as decisions are made, but the situation is brewing just the same. Initially there can be some false starts, mistakes, trial and error needed in this new territory, but things will get sorted out. We’re working with new materials and everyone is adjusting.

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. In Taurus’s coming year they are exact two times in their signs June 10, 2020 and Mar 31, 2021. They finish during Sun in Taurus May 3, 2021! See more about Chiron/Uranus

Those of you with your Saturn’s from 25 Capricorn to 12 Aquarius will be having your 29 year Saturn Returns!

See your 2020 Annual Special Edition to plan and make your changes count.

Taurus, your value is immeasurable for keeping us patient and stable through the many changes we are processing. Thank you from Heart and Soul.

Outer Planet Transits with Taurus 2020 – April 2021!

Pluto, Neptune, Uranus, Chiron, Saturn and Jupiter

In Divine Strength of Heart and Soul, may we hold the Light and meet all our challenges.

Outer planets are the long term movers. Pluto and Neptune move only 3 degrees a year. Uranus orbits at 84 years, and Chiron at 51 years. They are advancing about 4 degrees a year for now. Saturn takes 28/29 years to make its orbit, Jupiter only 12 years, a sign a year! Depending on astrological patterns, some ‘events’ in our lives take many years, where others may happen toot sweet, right on or very near the date the event is exact! Some ‘events’ are not physical, but in our minds or Spirits. No one might ‘see’ them but you. Complex planetary patterns may overlap each other or be singular and direct. Some repeat; others are once in a lifetime. Some people have aspects others never have. Others have had aspects you won’t have until much later or you experienced as a child. Your astrologer can help you with your personal timing, understanding and strategies.

1. Pluto, and while in Capricorn with Saturn, in his own sign, and Jupiter, has focused Capricorn powerfully! Pluto is Scorpio’s planet, Scorpio opposite Taurus. Opposites separate as much as attract, but they do ‘understand’ each other. They are interested in the same things but their approaches are 180. Scorpio and Taurus are both interested in money, fertility, the law of attraction, life and death! Saturn helps Taurus build from the ground up! Jupiter, sometimes lazy, works with zest if he likes the project and the destination! He will up the amps on Taurus projects. When Jupiter stops by, he makes lucky suggestions and keeps perspective as things develop.
2. Neptune in Pisces brings seemingly impossible dreams! Taurus is more down to earth, but likes what he hears. He has wondered about certain possibilities and Neptune gives insights on how to bring it to pass! Neptune can bring quiet and solace when Taurus could use a little peace. At times gentle can be more effective and takes less energy.
3. Uranus in Taurus is a contrary combination, both fast and slow, more complex than meets the eye. Uranus is Aquarius’s planet, indicating sudden changes, punctuated by lightning strikes. Taurus is Earth herself. There is nothing bigger. Taurus may surprisingly find himself entertaining some odd new friends, but as he gets to know them better it turns out their ideas about land and sustainability are true for the long term. Taurus can see how to implement them step by step, anchoring solidly along the way.
4. Saturn and Jupiter in Aquarius and Chiron in Aries are planets in fire and air signs. Saturn is the only one keeping any order! If Saturn offers a project with teeth, they may all bite! Taurus is good with Saturn, each practically minded. Aquarius is unsettling, and Taurus may deliberately slow things down until he is satisfied what’s happening is reasonably for the better. AQ is a bit breezy, sometimes stormy, and Taurus has watched may a breeze come and go. In Aries, Chiron wants to heal the whole crew quickly! Taurus can see the immediate results, so carries on right away. Chiron may be a bit uppity in Aries, but is also a good business man and Taurus may get into new investments more quickly than usual! Only rule is: Keep talking, ask how can I help?

PLUTO is still in Capricorn but is changed and still changing since Oct 30, 2018 when it made the rare 248 year aspect, Pluto conjunct the Ecliptic and is now below the Ecliptic, in its own underworld! The Ecliptic is the Sun’s path around earth! Pluto’s debris was lighted, declared to be outmoded, cleared away. He was not only cleared, but became free to be charged with energy beyond imagination! His healing powers have increased exponentially! He gave that very energy to Sun and the Light itself is now more clear and radiant! So fresh, this is a powerful time for all of us, but especially Capricorns because this HAPPENED IN THEIR SIGN! Those of you with chart factors at or very close to 18 degrees, especially in Scorpio or Capricorn, have also been cleared and infused! Some will go to the Light, others might need some time out to be able to stand up again. None of these factors, Capricorn, Scorpio nor Pluto are light weights. It takes a lot to impress them, and they can withstand high intensity, but this tested and is still testing even them.

Pluto is moving from 22 to 26 Capricorn during Taurus’s year to come. Pluto, Scorpio’s planet, acts according to its being of the sign before Sag. In Capricorn it acts as if it is in the sign after Sagittarius. Their combination represents the sequence of these three signs, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn. Scorpio seeks what’s within, then Sagittarius travels beyond the within, learning, teaching, meeting the citizens of the world. Capricorn takes that knowledge and puts it to work using Sag’s good looks and spectacular foresight to choose the most favorable pathways. Pluto is water and Kundalini fire at the base of your spine! Cap is earth. Water and Earth can be a dam, the pottery on the wheel, or make adobe bricks for building homes. Both water and earth can put out dangerous fire or make a moat to hold a fire safely.

Pluto’s job is to cleanse, detox and heal. Pluto rates a 10 on the charisma scale – looks don’t matter, sex does. Mates for life. It’s a water planet. It often lives behind the scenes, can be a ninja fighter and make tons of money. As a fighter, Pluto can defend sacred Taurus territories or plunder and destruct. He can scan and radar sweep for toxic chemicals, pollution, the Virus, and long held dying thinking that needs a new base in current times. Pluto can sweep away the old bricks and mortar so a new foundation can be built. He is known for his sexual capacity and tantric techniques. Sensual but simple Taurus may like that or prefer his natural way, a gentle touch, planetary magic like stars at night under the May Pole! Pluto knows quite well where the money is – even Taurus’s hidden cache. Pluto is skilled at tapping it and he can connect Taurus with consortiums that exponentially expand his fortune. It all depends on whether Taurus trusts Pluto or not. Taurus and Pluto may be friends, but Pluto in Capricorn may seem a little manipulative or condescending, more for the money than their friendship. They are maybe not so close and get together at random times to see how the other is doing. Take it easy and stay with your instinct.

NEPTUNE is in his own sign Pisces. He is a water planet in the last water sign, the last sign of the zodiac, seeking a deeper side of life. Neptune is oceanic – is still like glass becalmed, has forever tidal sand polishing cycles, titanic storms, tsunamis! Neptune is dreamer, music lover and maker, the compassionate empath, spiritualist. In fearful times, denial happens and in sorrowful situations can be the addict. Those of you with chart factors 18 to 22 degrees will be activated with this pure energy! Keep the Lights bright!

Neptune’s dreams are more vivid, meaningful. If our consciousness can conceive the dream, the amazing dream, it holds a place of possibility in our consciousness. The dream awakens our Spirit to seek others who share another piece of our belief. There are others who know how to bring it to pass. Taurus absorbs it, he and the dream become one. Neptune keeps feeding him the magical story. There is steady progress with sensible Taurus who is often experienced at constructing with little at hand. He learns quickly as Neptune helps him adapt the tiniest details! Taurus is not flustered by setbacks; rather, he builds better than before! From being with nature, Taurus has an uncanny and realistic instinct. Neptune finds it a joy to share with such a kindred Spirit.

URANUS, Aquarius’s planet, covers 6 to 10 Taurus! In Taurus it will anchor and build on change worthy ideas that need to be instilled, spread far and wide to create a support network. Those ideas need to be cleverly woven into our daily fabric so they become a part of us to be effortlessly be carried on. A lot of earth changes we are witnessing are massive, coming suddenly, including pandemic COVID-19! The very land is changing, affecting food supplies, water sources, air quality and location choices about where to live. Most currently there is a lot of instability financially. We need to have backup funds, supplies, to stay flexible. See more about the Aries to Taurus sign change.

Taurus invents simple. To freedom lover Uranus, being in Taurus may feel too slow, too close for comfort, so unexciting. Taurus may freak out, and they rarely do, at the sudden upsets to his routines. Or Uranus being in his sign may be the most fun he’s had in a long time! What was ordinary life suddenly isn’t! There are exotic options free for the taking! Uranus computer types are shocked to find walking barefoot tickles your feet! You become so aware of the charge of earth and life, that Earth herself is so very alive! It’s a whole new dimension compared to that desk chair in the still dead-air recycled plastics scented office! Taurus may never have been bored before and now you are?! What is this feeling?! It could be pretty darn heady at first. Maybe the leap is best now, otherwise you never will! Or maybe you need to stay steady and not get carried away at all. But somehow it seems a time of wild chance that needs to be taken advantage of. Put some fallback funds in a safe place, get yourself a headband and go for it! Yoga was never so good! Supercharged divine body electric!

Uranus, being Aquarius’s planet, has flight feathers, surveys the terrain, guides Taurus along the ancient pathways to the future! Uranus the futurist in Taurus is bringing elemental ancient ways back into practice but in new ways! Taurus is tuned to the pulse of greater Earth changes happening, knows where new seeds need to be planted, ie trees. Uranus aids with networking and teams are already working the shift all over the world! The word ‘recovery’ is no longer enough. We don’t want it like it was before! What an astonishing attunement for the better of all! Support like this has never happened so profoundly to Taurus before! Evolution is happening right before his eyes for all to see! He senses how important this collective metamorphosis is, how profoundly it is affecting everyone. We are at a crossroads. Colossal shifts can take place very quickly.

CHIRON will be in Aries through 2027. In Taurus’s year, he will cover 4 to 10 Aries, activating any factors you have at or very close in those degrees. Chiron has been and will be traveling very closely to the same degrees as Uranus, the Aquarian planet, but in different signs! This has been going on since 2008 and continues through 2021, 13 years. Chiron has become more future and humanitarian minded and Uranus has taken on some shamanistic qualities. There is a subtle camaraderie with Aquarius, the sign Saturn is in now, and Jupiter will be. See more  In Aries, the first of the zodiacal signs, Chiron is becoming a more fiery shaman, takes unprecedented healing action, bold leadership! Aries is new, and we have needed its courage to deal with the new Virus.  Uranus’s sign change into Taurus is grounding the thunder maker. There has been a shift in the foundation that is starting to hold steady. When one level stabilizes we are ready for the next shift…

If you have Chiron in these degrees, you will be having your 51+/- year Chiron Return! Wounds and vulnerabilities will be assessed, your teaching skills improved. Updated healing systems will be applied with unbelievable results! Medical teaching will be inspiring, especially about the head, brain and eyes. The Magi Society thinks Chiron is the #1 marriage factor and good in business too! In Aries, loving independence, he may start his own business and but be reluctant to marry…

Chiron was mythologically a renowned teacher of healing due to personal experience attempting to heal his own wounds. Taurus may find himself reassessing conditions he may had lived with for a long time. Aries prods, inspires, leads us to the latest options, ones that have come along without our realizing it. Once we are improved, healed, we can take up being a healer ourselves, in our own way, and teach others about our discoveries. Taurus will become more proactive. Chiron in Aries is a great new business leader. The whole world is excited to see what will spring out of the dark days of the Virus. No one can go back to the way it was. Taurus will find new facets of business that are more satisfying and productive. Chiron is healing the quality of leadership itself! We need the skillfully patient leadership Taurus offers.

With the Virus, we see how quickly and irrevocably a wound can happen, even inadvertently, that others can be more vulnerable than we. We vow to be just a little less quick or sharp, give others the benefit of the doubt. At the same time Chiron shows us how strong we are and to be glad and proud of that. Maybe we screwed up, but living in infinite guilt is no service to ourselves or others. Chiron is truly a healer. He knows all healers make mistakes. It goes with the territory, being human. We are humbled and we learn. We work harder to be steady and well as an example that it can be done. Many overcome against great odds, may still be damaged, but become great leaders able to make tremendous contributions at the same time!

SATURN covers 25 Capricorn to 12 Aquarius! Sign Change!

Saturn is currently previewing Aquarius until he retrogrades back into Capricorn with Jupiter and Pluto July 1. Saturn is strengthening the last part of his own sign Capricorn! Due to the Virus, many are and will be making career adjustments. In the long term that may be a blessing because new work, or working new ways, suits you far better, or you start your own business!

Saturn Returns happen every 28 to 29 years. They can bring you to your knees, or make you bring yourself up to your full height, proud of your achievements! The experience you have depends on how Saturn is situated in your chart and how other current planetary positions apply to your chart or don’t. Check with your astrologer. Those of you with Saturn 25-29° Capricorn have your Saturn Returns now through Mar 21, 2020 and July 1 to Dec 16! Those with Saturn 25-29° will have a set of three aspects this Solar Return – one forward, one retrograde, another forward. There will be more traditional endeavors.

1. On your first Return – ages 28, 29, you may find yourself having a lot of responsibility at work, getting married, owning your first home, having a baby! Take good care of yourself.
2. If you are older, on your second Return -58, 59, keep your networks alive. Right housing, parenting, care of precious grandchildren and elders may be challenging new responsibilities. Age and health may become factors, your retirement. Sometimes Saturn brings losses, sadness, delays. Advice from seasoned experts may be just what you need. Training and studies are helpful and the knowledge you carry backs up your reputation. Alliances may be strong and mutually supportive. Give yourself credit for what you have done, the talents you have acquired! It’s a time to honor, be honored!
3. Around age 87, many are now experiencing their 3rd Saturn Return! Things don’t bother them as much. They enjoy what they want to, sometimes something they always wanted to do! They say what they think. There are losses of friends and loved ones. Health matters more – they are often quite brave. Family can mean a lot or if alone, friends do. Or just being quietly alone is peaceful. Age can mean honors, even just for making it that long! Capricorn is the sign of time, elder hood. This is generally a strong time for them.

Saturn in his own sign, Earth sign Capricorn, is a force! Young people conduct themselves seriously and old people are more healthy, younger than others their age, strong and cheerful! Saturn adds to the desire to do good work. Saturn recognizes natural law, so its works stand the test of time. Timing is one of its fortes. Steady production, the right people in the right places at the right time, being on time, are all assets. They are not only architects, builders and realtors, but understand science and structures – concrete, stones, glass. They can build roads and railways, bridges, homes, skyscrapers! They can do demolition as well as renovation! Saturn is expert at sustainability and conservation – more done with less effort, uses less materials, smaller and stronger, for less cost and storage space needed. They can build tiny homes communities for homeless and seniors, contribute huge land grants to establish legendary preserves. As seniors they don’t quit. They become mentors, and with experience on their side, use new ideas of the times to start the latest businesses! They may be late starters sometimes, but often their later years are truly golden – art awards, health successes, the happiness of long marriages and plenty of grandkids! See more!

Saturn and Capricorn are planet and sign of Karma and Dharma. Karma we think of a payback. You did it good, comes back good. You did a bad and sooner or later there is a consequence. We know you can pay it forward with good payback. Clean up your life, do good with others. Dharma is thought of as doing your life work, your spiritual mission. Many a time the happiest people I have met are ones who dedicate their lives to living what their Saturn is all about! There may have been start up challenges, but they overcome those and they don’t quit. They intuitively know the spiritual laws of that business and it comes to them naturally guided in spite of whatever adversity there is.

Saturn in Capricorn is double earthy, planet and sign, and Taurus is Earth herself. Saturn may try to impose human power or law over the natural law of Earth. Sometimes that is needed to protect her. Other times it is unnatural and exploitive and sooner or later will fizzle. Death by extinction or using resources to a finite end may have sad consequences. Saturn, by nature a Guardian, may use resources judiciously, in true harmony with the Great Spirit. If you use trees, with respect and reverence, plant more than you took in a timely fashion. a wise Father/Scientist will visit Taurus to take the pulse of true values. Saturn is professionals, that can steer Taurus businesses with clarity and prompt assistance. Consult them for retirement choices. Taurus may offer them a safe peaceful place to rest and meditate.

Aquarian Saturn Returns start March 21 to July 1, 2020 at 0 – 1° Aquarius! Dec 16 2020 to April 19, 2021 Returns will be from 0 – 12 Aquarius. Later, the rest of Aquarian Saturn Returns will continue April 20, 2021 through 2023. Saturn is of Capricorn, the sign before Aquarius. Saturn can set the mark. If the goal is amazing enough, all-encompassing enough to challenge Aquarius’s talents, AQ will be on board! He will make a computer, computer diagrams, research materials, legends, why it can work now, for years, even centuries. It has not been possible before. Aquarians are delighted to learn new techniques and learn so quickly, you lose little time while they do. In fact, your results may become 10-fold in a lot less time than usual! If you are working on challenging new sustainable options, Aquarius will love this new humanitarian effort. Being on the same page, whatever it is for the two of you, makes for a healthy Spirit and union. Many amazing like minded friendships may come, or if you are overwhelmed or need time to recenter, you may take time away and enjoy being on your own. Aquarians love their freedom! If you are in business or want to spread the word about a project, your networking can go worldwide through well chosen social media! Concentrate on humanitarian and sustainability facets of your ventures and investments and you will thrive! Saturn in Aquarius carries on the good work for all the world and a wise Saturn has more business than ever!

At first Saturn in Aquarius may put on the brakes to stabilize and get a breath! Saturn is out of his element, things seem chaotic. Saturn can lack confidence anytime, but this is over his head. Aquarius is not surprised. All his life people have had to get to know him a bit before they relax and get with it. They have to learn the essence of freedom can’t be conquered or legislated into line. When Capricorn gets used to this new dimension, however, bam! Aquarius has a great network at his fingertips and Capricorn wastes no time making use of it. There is a learning curve, but that’s fine! It’s definitely going somewhere very soon! Aquarius’s pure genius is 100% intriguing, on the leading edge. Capricorn can go either way, hole up and go traditional. Period. Or, he can step up the research, move right into the new zone, try out the new structure, be the first and foremost! Aquarius may have to adjust to the issue of profits, but is otherwise well pleased with Saturn’s keen backing and their accomplishments together. See more about Saturn in Aquarius

Taurus is watching all this. They will call on him when they are ready. He has seen many changes, some fads, some later proven wrong, others lasting past any expectations. He has strong common sense which it will be. Saturn can be a bit bossy at times, but Taurus grows his food, so what does Saturn want? The food or to be bossy? But Saturn research can prove very useful. Just be polite, please, when you deliver the information. Aquarius is intriguing but will need to win Taurus trust. AQ is a bit on the far side, but if you start with respectful friendship and working information, help with the danged computer, offer a network that supports in real time, Taurus will come around. Preface your sentence with ‘I’m going to say something you might think is crazy, but, please, hear me out.’ And, make sure it is a good time for them to talk. Taurus discovers sometimes an interruption is worthy. As things grow along, some friends will be left behind, or they leave you. Some long standing relationships may dissolve, and occasionally there may be a shock. Can be bad, or just what you needed to get going!

JUPITER moves from 17 Capricorn to 26 Aquarius! Sign Change!

Unusual and potent combination! There have been three outer planets in one sign. Jupiter joined Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn Dec 2 2019. Jupiter fairly streaks through Capricorn, getting to the 27th degree, almost completely through Cap, by May 20, 2020, only 6 months! At that point it retrogrades and continues in Capricorn until Dec 19 2020. It makes work the most fun it ever was! Jupiter could be the visitor who is remembered for all the amazing work he did! He could be a random traveler, a business consultant, the foreigner who was on a mission to help the people. Jupiter will help you jazz up your home, give you such good advice you can’t help doing it! They might volunteer and you join them to make some kind of profound difference.

March 21 Saturn went into Aquarius for a preview until July 1 when he retrogrades back into Capricorn. Again there will be three planets in Capricorn. The mission has been shifting as the Virus has brought new perspectives. Jupiter has been adjusting daily. This time traveling is not an escape to anywhere since the Virus is pandemic. That really gives you things to think about!

When we get back into business as usual, don’t keep your lucky Jupiter charm. Jupiter needs to travel, check out the territories, spread the news. If you hire him, send him to the training seminars furthest away or send him to teach it! If Jupiter has too much routine, he will run away. Poof. Gone. Import/exports they are involved with might work well for you too. Their writings may inspire you to start an outstanding business newsletter or monthly report people count on. Jupiter can overdo, so Cappies beware. Know your personal limits and carefully make small trial investments on great sounding whims. Check things out. If you have doldrums or dours, Jupiter can exaggerate your condition. Yet, Jupiter is a mover, a fire planet that won’t stand still, so in no time at all, Jupiter is likely to cheer you up like a champ. You are encouraged because they act like you can do it, and it’s truth!  

In the meantime, get on the computer, the phone, give varied tasks with people from all over the world. You can still expand and extend your perimeters! Update your plans of all kinds! Do research to find the best ways. See what the outcomes of other pandemics, epidemics, have been! What were the common threads? What businesses have always survived, thrive afterwards, failed? What are the world’s needs today and what groups are working successfully along those lines? We’re looking for what is better than it used to be! There are so many possibilities!

Jupiter in Capricorn can exaggerate the rules, and they are righteous about it, no mincing words or wants! Capricorn may be slightly flustered at Jupiter interfering with Cap’s own game of rules, the outspokenness of it all. He could be a little embarrassed, or a lot delighted that Jupiter is speaking what Cap has always wanted to say! Jupiter can be a tad self-righteous or religious and Capricorn could have the same feelings about that. But too much of it doesn’t always give room to get along with the public and you could lose business. But there is also a time to do what’s right and take a stand. It will be up to you. Jupiter can also be magnanimous, open hearted to many, embracing collaboration. If Cap has erred on the exclusionary side, he may find himself expanding to further markets, extending to many cultures and styles of operation, possibly worldwide! It could be a complete revitalization!

Be a little cautious to give over your power or the keys to your kingdom to that big Jupiter habitual smile. They don’t always have your welfare in their hearts, but they look good to the rest of the world, for now. If you have been slandered, you may have to bide your time to let the truth be revealed. Or you may decide not to take it lying down. Put security in place until you get to know them well. Be alert to fraud; random check the bookkeeping. If Jupiter in Capricorn is on your side in a good way, and you have clean intent, they can help you get over hurdles, escape being imprisoned by your own doing, help you build your future! You could work together in behalf of others who are not able. Keep your chin up, look for what’s best, put it into action. See more

Taurus doesn’t mind a few rules, general peace. But he certainly thinks for himself. He’s used to ruling his own range, isn’t easy to push around, and can outwait some adverse conditions steadfastly. Some science will impress him. If Jupiter arrives on the scene like a self righteous know-it-all, things won’t be so easy. If Jupiter gets his head down with Taurus, listening as well as informing, collaborating, a lot can get done. They might partner for a while, but Taurus senses the restlessness in Jupiter, so looks for ways to get things going while Jupiter is still around. Jupiter has a broad reach, extensive knowledge, and Taurus can prosper from Jupiter’s offerings. Taurus may find his health improving as he commits to additional responsibilities, gets up and going on these new ventures.

Jupiter in Aquarius may try to stay in the computer room, but just hearing Jupiter’s voice makes Aquarian wander genes perk up! Aquarius loves change and new perspectives, a look through time. If there were spaceships available today, they would be on them! Jupiter brings a palatable education, fun, wide, full of adventurous tales of rogues and heroines! Aquarius may decide to take a motorcycle road trip in 2021, travel to some off grid shrines or oracles in foreign countries. Jupiter talks of earthly religions and etheric perceptions, aboriginal experiences, timelines of major beliefs of today. Meanings and mercy, monsters and saviors. Never a dull moment. A greater feel, bond than ever with humanity is kindled. One night, sitting in starlight by the campfire, their long term plan unfolds. Jupiter makes AQ feel great and health is better than ever, so together the launch is made. That doesn’t mean Jupiter sticks around. He could, might, but there is a good chance he will visit from time to time while others run home base.

Jupiter in AQ may run away with anyone, but with Taurus, it’s a road trip in comfort, sumptuous stops, and/or glamping! Aquarius loves the electronics, cell phones, and there may be plenty of time to indulge. Aquarius genius, Jupiter’s sense of direction, Taurus wanting to see the wonders, takes them to exceptional places, some of great meaning! Taurus may find it all too much, wanting home soil, but he will forever be changed by what he has seen. He will ponder. People will ask him how he’s liking the trip, what he saw, what he thought of that. Surprising answers will come. Changes may be small, gradual, but a few will be memorable. He will be more amenable to people less like himself, find himself listening more, wondering what could happen. That old easy chair just won’t be big enough anymore.

Saturn, Capricorn’s planet, makes his final entry from Capricorn into Aquarius Dec 16, three days before Jupiter enters Aquarius Dec 19! We already will have some idea what it will be like in Aquarius because Saturn has already been in Aquarius three months of 2020. Saturn, Capricorn’s planet, shall have had some practice already knowing what freedom lover Aquarius wants! Saturn tried to tame things down at first. Jupiter was in Capricorn too, so Saturn knows about Jupiter too. In Aquarius he will undoubtedly be more UNRULY and enjoy every minute of it! Best to get them working on a cause, all their friends included, then they will all be busy doing good things, LOL! In fact, Saturn has already found out about many of their good points, like great luck and pure genius! Aha! It’s doable. If Saturn steers his business and attitudes to the planetary changes afoot, he will find his business will already be operating in place to accommodate and expedite these new boom times! People will want in on his IPO! Electronic businesses of all sorts will surge. Micro will be the word. Communications industry, online sales will do even better. Air travel and travel sports, travel in behalf of sports, will all do well. Cater to clients with fame. Emphasize education. Evolution and humanity are keywords! Jupiter will be right there shoulder to shoulder, advising Saturn every step of the way, glorying in the zest of these extraordinary new beginnings!

So what we are saying is we will have Jupiter, Saturn, and Aquarius working together! Jupiter laughs and speeds things up, Saturn holds and guides the horses, Aquarius leads them at the cutting edge!

This is not a usual time for family businesses, marriage, children. Jupiter in Aquarius is not the marrying kind. But friends will bring major contributions to your life. You might meet a swell person, but between Jupiter in Aquarius and Chiron in Aries, you need to check with your astrologer, especially while Jupiter is in Aquarius. It will likely be worth it to wait for a more auspicious time to marry unless you have several other super marriage aspects to your chart at that time and exceptional comparison aspects to your potential partner. If so, elope, don’t wait and miss the excitement! If you are buying property, select it more as an investment with a good resale value since you might move sooner than you expected.

If you have factors in Capricorn or Aquarius in your chart at these degrees, this could be prime time to visit the associated positive areas on your AstroLocality map. See your AstroLocality specialist! Not all map lines are positive; some are positive only at certain portions along their length or at certain times, some are positive appearing but have other hidden factors. Some are too good to miss!

If your Jupiter is in these degrees in these signs, you will be having your Jupiter Return! They happen every 11/12 years. The experience you have depends on how Jupiter is situated in your chart and how other current planetary positions apply or don’t to your chart . Check with your astrologer. Jupiter will bring you big truths or reveal lies. Sometimes it exaggerates your condition, could make it worse, could make it wildly abundantly better! Plans for the future may be magnified, your course changed significantly. Profound circumstances are likely to impinge on special relationships. Long lasting mergers and good marriages are possible for some of you.

Happy Birthdays, Dear Taureans! Steady on!

Taurus Earth Day New Moon!

EARTH DAY Wednesday April 22 New Moon at 7:26 PM Pacific, 3 Taurus 24!

Moon/Sun Conjunct the Humanitarian Planet Uranus! Saturn square Uranus, Bundle Chart

On a beautiful starlit night the trees wait for the new dawn…. How very special that our 2020 Taurus New Moon is on Earth Day! Taurus is the sign of Earth! Exquisite image at Big Meadows Shenandoah National Park VA by Daniel J Stein

Saturn is newly in Aquarius for the first time since 29 years ago! It is an early degree New Moon along with 4 other early degree factors! The New Moon is highly aware of Saturn in AQ and is with Uranus, the planet Saturn is squaring upon his entry into Aquarius! This is all the stronger because Uranus IS the planet of Aquarius! And squares can land heavy, sometimes forcing you to stand up or else! Saturn often initially wants to stop change, but he now in Aquarius, the sign of freedom and evolution, is gonna lose that battle. Evolution is bigger by far and if he doesn’t keep up he will be left behind. If he gets grumpy or depressed, it’s time to man up! But he can still try, LOL. Uranus stands there in his way, ignoring Saturn’s demands. Good grief, no one cares anymore, and he stomps his foot. No respect. Those upstarts need to be corralled. But he’s relieved Uranus isn’t freaked out. Hmm… Maybe things aren’t so bad after all? And, smart as Saturn is at making appraisals, if there is a good to be gotten, Saturn will find that too! As I often say, he’s no fool. He’s a builder, a terrific renovator. He knows the past and its failures, always has one foot ahead looking for better, stronger, long lasting security.

Moon/Sun with Uranus are first hand witnesses to this combination. They may agree there needs to be a crack down first, to slow things down that have been out of control. There may be a lot of meetings before a working consensus is reached. Things may need to be dealt with one at a time. Hopefully, gradually a strong and informed coalition will be formed, or it may never quite gel, each distrusting the other. However, Saturn retrogrades May 10/11 at only 1° AQ 57, not making the exact square to Uranus until Feb 18. 2021! This is a preview of things to come so we can prepare well to work it then. Nor will Saturn make connections with any other of the early degree factors. It won’t sextile Chiron until Feb 9, 2021, just nine days before the square to Uranus. Please see more about Saturn square Uranus

Moon is not famous for enjoying the unpredictability of changemaker Uranus! In Taurus she especially wants security for herself and her loved ones. Yet she herself is often unpredictable, being the Goddess of lunar cycles, making rapid change through all the signs in only and every 27 days! In Taurus she is actually more steady, and she has a weakness for helping the helpless, which Uranus is all about, helping humanity at every level of evolution. Despite herself she finds herself intrigued, seeing how Uranus can help so many. She can assist that and scale the principles down to her daily needs! Uranus is a genius and Mother Moon is dead on psychic. She has photographic memory that helps with past dilemmas that can now be solved with current technology. She’s very personable, whereas Uranus forgets you are there. She knows he means well and can do great things, so that unconditional love of hers shines through. 

Sun is brilliant and literally lights the way. In Taurus some patterns have been there forever, so much a part of us we don’t think of them. Sun reevaluates from his personal point of view as a traveler. With his light he can see the shadows where there may be trouble spots that vary in some way, and give them further attention. Uranus is the other planet of Light, Lightning, to be exact that can pinpoint a strike! Uranus, the planet of Aquarius, is the planet of his opposite natural sign Leo, Sun’s own sign, so there is an intuitive knowing between them, each powerful in their own way. It’s hard to get Uranus to stand still, but this is a once a year annual connection, and with Uranus in calming Taurus, an uncommon opportunity. Sun is concerned with the Self of an individual, whether he is working from the Heart, expressing his unique full creativity. Uranus sometimes gets lost in the ethers, in a world of complex entertainment only his genius can see. Sun reminds him why he is here, helps him recenter. Uranus is a mental giant, and nonetheless, Sun, the light giant, can’t help but be impressed and want to give Uranus all the Light fuel possible. There is a sizzling handshake across the table of Spirit. They merge. Phenomenal results.

Even in Taurus, Moon, Sun and Uranus make a snappy combination! They are comfortable and dramatically eccentric together. Eyes widen when they walk in the room. Who would have thought?!

Helpfully, Saturn is close to its sextile with Chiron in Aries, the square’s companion aspect. The sextile will help with the challenges of the square. But that aspect won’t be made until Feb 9, 2021, just nine days before the square to Uranus. Please see more about the square below. Saturn will help Chiron with his medical work, teaching and new businesses, bring supporting organizations into play. Law, and long term commitments to fighting for the underdog will be offered remarkable support. The sextile with Chiron in Aries, will give more courage to heal, expeditiously speed things up. It will trial new possibilities carefully! Saturn, Uranus and Chiron will get the ideas, preview what to do and how to do it, but for now won’t come to fruition. Now through May 10/11 is a  preparatory period. 

In addition, Chiron and Uranus, the two planets Saturn is aspecting, are connected with each other! Chiron in Aries and Uranus in Taurus are neighboring, at less than a degree apart! Chiron is sizzling in fiery Aries, a good business person as well as a healer/teacher, terrific consultant! A promotional organization would suit his Spirit! Supporting new students, think tanks, getting groups started! Avant-garde ideas, exotic explorations on land or in the lab, unique sports, research for new cures, looking for leaders! All would be exciting ventures! Chiron & Uranus continue humming along in their semisextile. They 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 

This New Moon chart happens to be the 4th of three New Moons in a row having those rare potent Bundle charts. They do the business at hand with fewer distractions. It’s bunched together loosely in 141 degrees. Jupiter is still tight with Pluto in Capricorn helping clean up messes, looking for powerful ways to proceed. The New Moon is strong with Uranus in Taurus, the genius with the Earth! That’s five potent planets in Earth signs!

Jupiter with Pluto was exact April 4. Jupiter makes things best, bigger or exaggerated, the worst – like C-19. Pluto is at his microscope looking for that vaccine. Pluto can be save your life, make money or take your life and all your money, bankruptcy. It can bond your relationship for a lifetime, or there you are over filing divorce papers against that cheater! Jupiter can be schooling, trips, publishing, truth and the consequences if you have been a liar no longer getting away with it.  Jupiter is so much the traveler, but with the Virus, and Jupiter in Capricorn, the sign of limitations, necessities only, no such luck for now. Pluto can be the scandal, fighting over inheritances, funding, or fund the most amazing healing research and a center with exceptional care for victims. We have been seeing amazing caring and people stepping up to the plate. You see this aspect has a great range, extremes. And both can happen at once. Keep your life clean or Jupiter in Capricorn the law, Pluto the Police will be knocking on your door. If you have the means, do what you can to help survivors, heal the environment long term, provide significant education. Apply for help if you need it. Sometimes we just can’t do it all alone. One day you will be the one that’s doing the giving. Bless you and keep you. When you can, pay it forward.

Jupiter and Pluto are in close connection through their second conjunction June 29 and on through July 30! The third and final aspect is Nov 12, THE aspect of the Nov 3 Presidential Election. You can see how crucial this aspect is. In Capricorn there is much long term work of necessity. Set your goals and stick with them, revising and updating as you go. Do what makes a difference.

The early degree connections indicate new beginnings, fresh approaches. Moon and Sun just passed the square to Saturn and inconjunct Moon’s North Node in Cancer. They are primally aware of the depth of the necessities needed not just at home, our local communities, but for all people. Feelings can seem to make us stand still at times, but the Sun is the Light, and Moon, his reflection, always functions on natural cycles, so knows change is in the wind. In Taurus, they can help stabilize when fear is rampant. They are focusing on sensible progressive ways of moving forward at a steady pace. They are making connections all over the planet from home base. They are helping our geniuses stay grounded and calm. If you are a Taurus, you are so needed at this time. Your peacefulness, ability to slow down, are so appreciated. Thank you.

Venus at 15 Gemini, retrogrades May 12 at 21 Gemini 50. We are close now. She was in the Midpoint sequence when Mercury passed her and Mars. She is so close to trining wild unpredictable Mars in Aquarius, but her slowing to retrograde, he leaves her behind. They hoped to be good friends, maybe even lovers. It seemed so likely, but it doesn’t come to pass. Just the same, each inspired the other and they will think of each other for a while. Venus loved his ideas. He felt courage to go on. Mercury now at 20 Aries, frisky himself in fast action Mars’ sign Aries, has left them both behind. Quickly he blew a kiss to Venus. She in one of his signs, they had a camaraderie. He tossed a dare to Mars to keep up if he can! It was fun and spicy to meet them. It gave him a lot of new ideas. Now, off to spread the good news!

Venus is square Neptune, exact on May 5. She has felt a bit confused, not sure what to believe anymore. She watches, wonders. Is tempted to buy treats, but doesn’t want them either. The usual choices are not working. She wants more than fun; she wants something that means something. Yet Neptune is not as readable as usual and she is left on her own to work it out. Feeling a bit lost is not a Gemini M. O., not logical, yet it is observably interesting. She may find a treasure at an obscure location…? It calls her somewhere she has never been before.  It may be more Spirit than visible or touchable. 

Neptune? He waits. Neptune is the Great Guardian of Spirituality. He represents compassion, empathy, psychic perception, art, music, from addictions to extraordinary visions, magic and Soul Saving! The next Jupiter sextile Neptune will be July 27.   

This New Moon has several aspects that have passed, some that will never come to be, others that are taking a while. There is memory of the past, lessons learned. There is a sense of things that could have happened, hints of possibilities and somehow they become a part of our life by subtle infiltration. Some things will happen in time and we need to steadily prepare for them to have maximum potential possible. The immediate action is Moon/Sun conjunct Uranus, the planet of humanity and evolution!

Steady in the Light, Onward.

Scorpio – Taurus Full Flower SUPERMoon May 7, Wesak May 8!

Thursday May 7 at 3:45 AM Pacific 17 Scorpio/Taurus 20

Moon Scorpio Handle Bucket Chart! Jupiter still close to Pluto. Key communications.

Yoga Vriksasana, the Tree Posture. Oak is the long lived Taurus Tree. 

For many the Scorpio/Taurus Full Moon is Buddha’s Birthday. Worldwide and in different traditions, it is celebrated on different days in different ways. 2020 in the US it will be celebrated May 8. 

Depending on who is deciding, we are enjoying a “season” of 3 full SUPERmoons March 9, April 8, and May 7, 2020! This one is the last, and then we have a “season” of 3 new SuperMoons on September 17, October 16, and November 15, 2020. See EarthSky for viewing details! A supermoon is a full moon or a new moon that nearly coincides with perigee—the closest that the Moon comes to the Earth in its elliptical orbit—resulting in a slightly larger-than-usual apparent size of the lunar disk as viewed from Earth. The technical name is a perigee syzygy (of the Earth–Moon–Sun system) or a full (or new) Moon around perigee.

Often when there are Bundle and Bowl charts, a 1/3 or 1/2 of a chart having all the planets in a group or on one side of the chart, when Moon (or another planet) strikes out on her own, being the fastest planet, she is what we then call the ‘handle of the Bucket chart!‘ The rest of the planets are still clustered behind her. The Full Moon is a classic time, when she is 180 away from Sun. She is the Seeker. She scans for whatever concerns them. She receives information that she filters back to the main body of planets. She carries/sends their messages, information, from them to others as she connects by degrees at any given time. Others outside the chart are alerted to Moon and her entourage. The Buddha’s Moon in Scorpio seeks spots that need healing and clears that spot so peace can collect us to his heart.

This is the 5th of 5 Full Moons that are Bucket charts. Each chart’s Moon is the Handle planet, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, now finishing with Scorpio! We start and end with a Water sign. Very briefly, Cancer is home, family, women and children. Leo is Heart and Light, teacher. Virgo, the only Earth sign, is caretaker in every way possible, healer, spiritual midwife and organizer. Libra makes social connections, negotiates, collaborates and partners. Scorpio tends the finances, saves lives, shares deep intimacy. This is a special sequence about relationships, deep caring for each other from birthing to dying. 

In that planet cluster behind Mother Moon, Pluto with Jupiter are the base planets, Venus still leads. Pluto and Jupiter are wanting power and ethics, expansion, to learn as much as possible in the shortest time ever! There are deals to be made and Souls to be healed, and don’t forget, places to go!!! Venus in Gemini looks for kind words of grace, a brotherly connection. She has attractive valuable ideas! Saturn, now in Aquarius, is working hard for humanity! 

As with the New Moon Saturn in AQ is square Uranus in Taurus. This is all the stronger because Uranus IS the planet of Aquarius! And squares can land heavy, sometimes forcing you to stand up or else! Saturn often initially wants to stop change, but he now in Aquarius, the sign of freedom and evolution, he may at first resist, but evolution is bigger by far and if he doesn’t keep up he will be left behind. Soon as he gets used to change he will figure out how to use it well and promptly! If he gets grumpy or depressed, it’s time to man up, but that will happen less and less as time goes on! Uranus stands there in his way, ignoring Saturn’s demands. Good grief, no one cares anymore, and he stomps his foot. No respect. Those upstarts need to be corralled. But he’s relieved Uranus isn’t freaked out. Hmm… Maybe things aren’t so bad after all? And who needs respect when there’s work to be done?! And, smart as Saturn is at making appraisals, if there is a good to be gotten, Saturn will find that too! As I often say, he’s no fool. He’s a builder, a terrific renovator. He knows the past and its failures, always has one foot ahead looking for better, stronger, long lasting security.

Uranus is so more concerned with the greater good than one person’s disapproval. He’s virtually used to people not getting it so often carries on alone without interference as much as possible. Also, he’s fascinated by his own brilliant ideas and needs concentration to take the threads to their final result. There is a part of him that knows he needs grounding. He is after all, working for the people! Saturn, who has that building hammer, brings him back on track from time to time. And Saturn sometimes needs to forgo greed or fear and remember he too is working for the people. 

There may be a lot of meetings before a working consensus is reached. Things may need to be dealt with one at a time. Hopefully, gradually a strong and informed coalition will be formed, or it may never quite gel, each distrusting the other. Saturn retrogrades May 10/11 at only 1° AQ 57, not making the exact square to Uranus until Feb 18, 2021! This is a preview of things to come so we can prepare well to work it throughout 2021.

Helpfully, Saturn is still close to its sextile with Chiron in Aries, the square’s companion aspect. The sextile will help with the challenges of the square. But that aspect won’t be made until Feb 9, 2021, just nine days before the square to Uranus. Please see more about the square. Saturn will help Chiron with his medical work, teaching and new businesses, bring supporting organizations into play. Law, and long term commitments to fighting for the underdog will be offered remarkable support. The sextile with Chiron in Aries, will give more courage to heal, expeditiously speed things up. It will trial new possibilities carefully! Saturn, Uranus and Chiron will get the ideas, preview what to do and how to do it, but for now won’t come to fruition. Now through May 10/11 is a  preparatory period. 

In addition, Chiron and Uranus, the two planets Saturn is aspecting, are connected with each other! Chiron in Aries and Uranus in Taurus are neighboring, both at 7 degrees. Chiron is sizzling in fiery Aries, a good business person as well as a healer/teacher, terrific consultant! A promotional organization would suit his Spirit! Supporting new students, think tanks, getting groups started! Avant-garde ideas, exotic explorations on land or in the lab, unique sports, research for new cures, looking for leaders! All would be exciting ventures! Chiron & Uranus continue humming along in their semisextile. They 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 

Moon and Sun/Mercury are favorably trine and sextile Neptune in Pisces. Moon and Neptune, water planets in water signs, are psychic companions from long ago. Moon in Scorpio is more than halfway through Scorpio and has already sensed the deepest fears, power, disruptions, hidden relationships and dealings, healing and unions that all make a difference. She knows where the money is and isn’t and a lot about why. She wants to nurture the pain of losses of all kinds. She is often a hospice helper, like a midwife, but easing us through the last channel. Neptune’s heart goes out to her and he guides her, gives solace as he can. He knows some Souls are ‘going home’ and others are meant to stay, not done with their work. There are waves and undercurrents that are very strong, and he will help Moon flow freely and come out safe…unless it is her turn to go. Then he will help her. Blessed be to them both.

Sun/Mercury sextile Neptune. The old Master of the Sea of Life needs his batteries charged from time to time. Sun in Taurus can be counted on to be steady in the Light. Taurus sends Mama Earth’s light and shadows all over the world. Warm Heart Light wakes our Spirits up. Shadows can give us much needed rest. So many have been working hard – health, finances, relationships lost and made. Neptune guides Sun to help him give radiance where it is most needed. We will be coming out of a dark period soon and the sensible Taurus Sun will keep us steadfast in our substantial endeavors to create a better new future. Recovery only is not enough. We want it to much better than before!

Mercury in Taurus is in exact to the minute sextile Neptune! Mercury susses out the most simple, reliable, worthy options and spreads the good word. Neptune dreams them to him. M finds the best remedies through natural plant magic, earth’s minerals needed to keep our systems in balance, prevent further suffering. In Taurus he gets us more in touch with our bodies, we miss our hugs, thank goodness for our pets. Some will think on and get active in their gardens again and get others interested too! Earth loves to be treated well and loved as our most profound resource. Go barefoot again. Feel that soil between your toes! Smell those flowers! Eat that organic fruit from your own tree!

Mercury is in an unusually strong SemiSextile with Venus! It’s a minor aspect, but I often find them to be more strong than we would expect! In this case they are in Taurus and Gemini. They are neighboring signs, after all, and their energy can be a one, two, an easy pass of information one to the next! This case is even more special because they are in each other’s signs, called a mutual reception! It makes that exchange of information super easy. They are resonant and the energy is very similar in both positions, so double it’s usual volume than it would be when not connected these ways. Both Mercury and Gemini are communications specialists. Venus and Taurus are both about attraction, appreciation and kindness. Communications just about glow under this auspice! It could be a bit selfish, but maybe it should be. Could be needed and deserved in a good way. Generally it is very sharing.

Venus is now 21 Gemini in her 14 day 1° Retrograde station at 20/21 Gemini from May 5 to 19. She retrogrades May 12. Venus doesn’t complete the entire cycle until July 28, so most of her process will be during the Jupiter conjunct Pluto in Capricorn. She will be finding grace in communications. Jupiter wants Truth while Pluto opts for privacy. There will be some challenging delicate moments. Venus loving kindness will make all the difference.

This retrograde means Venus is close with Mars, they aware of each other, but she’s not catching up but turning back. Bye, bye, it was nice to have met you. Inspired and hopeful as they both were, to be good friends, maybe even lovers, they will take their new ideas with them but not together.

Venus indeed squared Neptune May 3, remains close, and will square him retrograde May 22 on the next New Moon! There is a long gap in between until their third square July 27! Ideas now will be processed, but the final conclusion will take some time. Venus in Gemini is usually pretty logical and clear, but she is mystified by Neptune. He is definitely on a different wavelength and the reasoning mind ain’t it! He didn’t always do well on tests, but somehow knows the answers! Venus has to allow for new dimensions. Neptune may need to show her the dreamtime, some art or visionary documentaries, and play her some magical melodies so she can let loose a bit. That can be scary for her because she isn’t used to it, has to grow some trust. Neptune needs to slow it down a bit for her, but we need to take care of things sooner than later now, so get that Gemini in gear, girl, and let it happen, LOL! Gemini has a good amount of flex, is smart and can adapt quickly. We need that right now! Venus may find herself surprised and loving it! A little psychic knowledge is very time saving! Finding documentation can be a snap! What seemed impossible isn’t! 

Jupiter and Pluto in Capricorn are watching out for them all! Sustainability is at their fingertips! Jupiter with Pluto was exact April 4. They are still less than 3° apart! Jupiter makes things best, bigger or exaggerated, the worst – like C-19. Pluto is at his microscope looking for that vaccine. Pluto can resurrect or save your life, make money or take your life and all your money, bankruptcy. It can bond your relationship for a lifetime, or there you are filing divorce papers against that cheater! Jupiter can be schooling, trips, publishing, truth and the consequences if you have been a liar no longer getting away with it.  Jupiter is so much the traveler, but with the Virus, and Jupiter in Capricorn, the sign of limitations, necessities only, no such luck for now. Pluto can be the scandal, fighting over inheritances, funding, or fund the most amazing healing research and a center with exceptional care for victims. We have been seeing amazing caring and people stepping up to the plate. You see this aspect has a great range, extremes. And both can happen at once. Keep your life clean or Jupiter in Capricorn the law, Pluto the Police, will be knocking on your door. If you have the means, do what you can to help survivors, heal the environment long term, provide significant education. Apply for help if you need it. Sometimes we just can’t do it all alone. One day you will be the one that’s doing the giving. Bless you and keep you. When you can, pay it forward.

Jupiter Conjunct Pluto are in close connection through their second conjunction June 29 and on through July 30! The third and final aspect is Nov 12, THE aspect of the Nov 3 Presidential Election. You can see how crucial this aspect is. In Capricorn there is much long term work of necessity. Set your goals and stick with them, revising and updating as you go. Do what makes a difference. 

Seek out some great new partners, friends, connections! The seeds of change are in your pocket!

Taurus are the Foodies of the Future!

Taurus 2019 Celestial HighLights

Making a Home for Your Food

Food not Lawns is a super productive creative venture, use of space! Organic!

Permaculture means sustainable and self-sufficient, in other words, 100% Taurus! Permaculture used to be food ‘forests’ at the edge of the village, what they planted that merged with local plants. Many of those plants were what they ate anyway, so a mix of those was a bit like today’s smorgasbord! Many of what we call weeds today are completely edible, even medicinal!  But today’s gardeners often have weeding frenzies and want what they want where they want it. There is a lot of history between Food Forests and now. We got farmers and row planted farms with the attending machinery. Now we are coming full circle, consciously ‘creating’ Food Forests and using permaculture techniques in more sophisticated ways the early villagers didn’t need or use. Permaculture tries to mix it up a bit, favors Biodiversity ~ we even have a word for it! Taurus understands Nature and tends to protect what’s useful. They are the perfect Earth Steward People.

The kitchen garden at Gravetye is an especially unique feature of The Manor. It was originally created by William Robinson in 1885 and are now considered one of the most important historic gardens in England.

Farming has a new face, many new faces! Many ‘fields’ just don’t look the same anymore. There are spirals, areas enclosed with ‘Us’ of trees open to catch the southwestern Sun. There are Circles of radiating interplanted flowers and veggies, the flowers bringing natural predators so no pesticides are needed. Useful beauty makes good sense to Taurus. Creativity abounds. Some are quite sensual in design, other are built for purpose, both important facets of Taurus psyche. Some farms are now on hillsides where water collects rather than down on the doughted plains. Tauruses have natural instincts about land use, organic know how. You sometimes think they are slow, but they are absorbing deeply, ruminating with their observations, letting things fall into place, waiting for the right time. They are planting geniuses, knowing the temperature by how it feels on their skin.

Container gardening at the Walker Building

Soil, water and sunlight! That’s all it takes! Grow it where you can, bring the soil with you! Organic food is a worthy prize. Taurus knows about pure and simple. Flowers for bees. Plant, they will find you! Taurus knows the value of land and property, picks the sunny balcony. Taurus loves beauty, and a healthy body qualifies! Grow things you love for happiness, maybe a dwarf 3 grafted fruit tree! Taurus knows how to make the most of what you got! Containers are amazingly productive. Put in a trellis for the beans and cucumbers, grow a patio tomato in the center, let strawberries spill over the front! Peace comes in many forms.

From humble to humongous! The world’s largest rooftop farm, Gotham Greens in Chicago, a 75,000-square-foot greenhouse set atop an old factory. The farm uses a state-of-the-art hydroponic system with a yield that rivals that of a 50-acre farm.  Photo by Debbie Carlos

Megan Barber: Beyond transforming unused space into eco-friendly agriculture, rooftop farms also reduce transport costs by growing products in close proximity to metropolitan areas. Taurus loves a healthy investment. Everyone has to eat. They are often determined founders of substantial long lasting enterprises for profit or nonprofit. Investing in people is important to them; they do it for love. Plant on your own roof, on the office building, at work, on parking structures, an abandoned warehouse!

Paris is ever sophisticated! Urban indoor & outdoor high rise gardening!

A room with a view! If you miss your terra firma, bring it with you, even trees! There’s nothing like soil under your bare feet at any elevation! Some rooftop plantings are deliberate to make a flyway rest point for migrating birds! There are flowers, water ponds, friendly safe habitat. Others are for humans to get some fresh air and sunshine or see the stars at night. Bring up that comfy padded chaise, maybe do your morning yoga salutation to the Sun, give gratitude, invite friends to a sociable moonlight meal. Taurus likes well used comfy casual clothes, they don’t mind getting dirty if it makes food or a pretty place. And, they clean up good! Taurus women have a special grace about them, core beauty and they are always making beauty. They can’t help it. Often they have great kindness, both to humans and fur people. Taurus men often qualify as hunks! They are uncommonly physically strong, definite earth movers. If they get grumpy, might be better to be somewhere else. Arm wrestling is one thing; getting deadlocked in a feud is not fun.    

Taurus is our support, our forever Love ~ romantic, family or friend. We know them for strength, enduring as farmers have always endured ~ weather, long back breaking work. We know him as the wise Lord of the Manor minding his people, making sure all is well in the province, sometimes collecting the taxes, LOL. He has an attractive, sometimes possessive Spirit, and accumulates wealth, hopefully not greed. He eats well, sometimes too well. Besides work clothes, Taurus also loves clothes with exceptional texture and divine color you can feel. Beauty surrounds them.

Through the centuries he has been known as Atlas, the one who held the sphere of heaven on his shoulders, later mistakenly thought of instead as the sphere of Earth.  The gods were always squabbling, but they all had talents. Atlas was known as a wise man and the founder of astronomy. The “Atlantic Ocean” means “Sea of Atlas”, while “Atlantis” means “Island of Atlas.” We call a collection of maps an Atlas. Atlas, a younger Titan, was later released from this torment and made the guardian of the pillars of heaven.

Thanks and Praise be to this powerful sign Taurus for keeping us uplifted.

Taurus Overview of Year to Come!

An impressive sequence of unusual aspects started with the Oct 30, 2018 Pluto conjunct the Ecliptic! at 18 Capricorn! June 16 & 18 2019 Jupiter/Saturn with Neptune are at 18 Pisces. The ten 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! Saturn conjunct Pluto is precisely linked to the powerful aspect, Jupiter conjunct Pluto at the same degree and sign, most close to the 2020 Presidential Elections. Some things that happen on or about Jan 12, 2020 will be on the table at election time.

Mercury acted as witness to the Ecliptic event and observer, documentarian of what he saw at that time and the results in the year following. Conjunct the Sun, the Transit of Mercury Eclipse, Mercury will be empowered by solar light, to express himself in the most radiant manner possible! People will listen. Mercury is the information gatherer, messenger. Mercury is strengthened to receive then report on Jupiter at the GALACTIC CENTER! He puts it in perspective, knows the meaning, intention, long term purpose! Mercury is the neighbor you know; Jupiter is, in this case, the galactic traveler, a fascinating impressive stranger!

Pluto was at the Ecliptic at 18 Capricorn 58 Rx. The Transit Mercury Eclipse will be sextile (opportunity) at 18 Scorpio 55 Rx. Mercury will move back to 11 SC 43 Rx when at the Galactic Center. Notice these are all Rx, retrograde. Retrograde means you have been there before and you will be again afterwards. It’s a 3 part cycle. Three chances. It’s good to get it right!

By November 8, 2019, all SIX of Jupiter’s and Saturn’s 2019’s outer planet aspects shall have been formed with Neptune in Pisces! Jupiter square Neptune, challenges, stirs up our dreams, makes us face misfortunes. At times we are discouraged, overwhelmed, or Pandora’s box opens and we are over the top with wishes, crazy for believing in such miracles! Yet there it is, we want to try! Be inspired, break free from old fears! Saturn sextile Neptune is a peerless appraiser, even ‘sees’ what is not visible! If he’s behind you, he is determined to get the job done. Inimitable! Forget sleeping in, get up and get going, one step at a time if necessary, but do it! Those SIX aspects finish just before the Nov 11, eleven, eleven, Transit of Mercury Retrograde Eclipse and it’s sister aspect Nov 19 Jupiter at the Galactic Center. Our Neptune imagination is being primed, tested, found strong and receptive!

These profound events will be during Sun in Scorpio, Mercury retrograde in Scorpio. The transmissions are taken in deeply, churned like good butter. Since Mercury is mind, Jupiter meaning, we may not witness physical change, especially with such an aspect as exotic and from so far away as the Galactic Center, but our Soul doesn’t miss a trick! Changes will seem to unfold for no reason and one day we realize there has become a difference.

Taurus senses the Dec 2 entry of Jupiter into fellow Earth sign Capricorn. They will be glad to work together, each wanting strong and lasting results. Whys and hows will be under consideration with the long term in mind. With Jupiter’s entry into Capricorn there will be 3 outer planets in Capricorn until Saturn enters Aquarius March 31, 2020! Saturn will retrograde back into Capricorn July 1, 2020, and again, there will be 3 in Capricorn until Saturn makes his final shift into Aquarius Dec 16, 2020. Saturn will be in his own, more conservative sign Capricorn for the presidential elections. Jupiter and Saturn are both high mountain lovers, so looks like it’s going to be fun for some! Jupiter will make the travel plans; Cap will build the lodge! Jupiter quickly sees potential, offers encouragement, gathers the backers. Capricorn is ace at putting the right pieces together with terrific timing. Successful champions! The job comes in early, and the results are impressive! See more about Jupiter in Capricorn!

And that brings us to Jan 12, 2020, Saturn conjunct Pluto and Mar 21, The Crown! 

We are building to the 2020 Super Stellium! 3 outer planets, Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto will all be in Capricorn! New Year Day opens with 5 planets in Capricorn! Mercury conjunct Jupiter, Jupiter conjunct Sun plus Saturn conjunct Pluto in Capricorn! Jan 12 Saturn makes the on average 34 year exact conjunction with Pluto.

The CROWN! March 21 2020 When Saturn is about to leave Capricorn, the three outer planets, along with Mars, are in culmination, as close as they will get, all four in a 7 degree Stellium! Peter Novak has studied outer planet stelliums and found that in the last 2000 years, allowing a 5 degree range, there were only 23 three outer planet stelliums! Yes, if he had allowed 7 degrees, there would be more, but still, they are uncommon. See all about it

Jupiter, Saturn, and Neptune are all in their own signs up to Dec 2, 2019! See Jupiter in Sagittarius That’s a lot of pure strong energy. Jupiter and Neptune are in malleable signs, in astrological terms, mutable. They are flexible, adaptable. Jupiter goes into Capricorn Dec 2. Saturn in Capricorn stomps his foot and calls for responsibility and to abide by the rules and laws, honor each other, your parents, the boss, elders and ancestors! You have to show him how and why that change makes sense. He’s a good balance to those other two wayward wanderers enamored in a moment, sometimes for no good reason. They are enjoying the show while he wants to know what’s real, what is doable. Neptune in Pisces senses our weak spots, and with compassion, converts them to strengths. We become aware of our Soul’s purpose.

Continuing abiding Aspect: Chiron & Uranus continue in their 13 years long journey closely together in the background… In Taurus’ coming year they are exact twice in their new signs Aries/Taurus – June 30, 2019 and at Valentine’s time, Feb 15, 2020! See more about Chiron/Uranus 

See the 2019 UPDATED Special Annual Edition Newsletter for making next year’s plans! Make your changes count.

Outer Planet Transits with Taurus 2019 – April 2020!

Earth Lovers, May Day King and Queen leading the Glastonbury UK May Day Procession! May 1, 2018

May you dance the Magic of the Maypole beauty into your new year!

OUTER PLANETS WITH TAURUS

Pluto, Neptune, Uranus, Chiron, Saturn and Jupiter

Outer planets are the long term movers. Pluto and Neptune move only 3 degrees a year. Uranus orbits at 84 years, and Chiron at 51 years, are advancing about 4 degrees a year for now. Saturn takes 28/29 years to make its orbit, Jupiter only 12 years, a sign a year! Depending on astrological patterns, some ‘events’ in our lives take many years, where others may happen toot sweet, right on or very near the date the event is exact! Some ‘events’ are not physical, but in our minds or Spirits. No one might ‘see’ them but you. Complex planetary patterns may overlap each other or be singular and direct. Some repeat; others are once in a lifetime. Some people have aspects others never have. Others have had aspects you won’t have until much later. Your astrologer can help you with your personal timing, understanding and strategies.

PLUTO is still in Capricorn but is changed. Oct 30, 2018 it made the rare 248 year aspect, Pluto conjunct the Ecliptic and is now below the Ecliptic! The Ecliptic is the Sun’s path around earth! Pluto’s debris was lighted, declared to be outmoded, cleared away. He was not only cleared, but became free to be charged with energy beyond imagination! His healing powers have increased exponentially! He gave that very energy to Sun and the Light itself is now more clear and radiant! So fresh, this is a powerful time for all of us, but especially Capricorns because this HAPPENED IN THEIR SIGN! Those of you with chart factors at or very close to 18 degrees, especially in Scorpio or Capricorn, have also been cleared and infused! Some will go to the Light, others might need some time out to be able to stand up again. None of these factors, Capricorn, Scorpio nor Pluto are light weights. It takes a lot to impress them, and they can withstand high intensity, but this tested even them.

Pluto is now moving from 20 to 25 Capricorn. Pluto, Scorpio’s planet, in Capricorn is in a harmonious sextile aspect, an earth and water mix. A darn good business person estimating time and money to the inch! Those of you with chart factors from 0 to 21 degrees, especially in Capricorn, already know Pluto quite personally. Pluto moves about 3 degrees/year, so some of this has been years ago, for others quite fresh. For some it has been a sequence if you have several factors in these degrees in a row. Pluto plunders, saves, cures, goes to extremes. Pluto ends relationships abruptly forever or loves and endures great trials and stands by you until the end. Money is made and lost, made again. Powerful charismatic careers have been possible. There have been threats, some deaths, mighty healing and miraculous survival.  Pluto raises the Kundalini, our life force! Powerful!

Pluto is the planet of Scorpio, Taurus’ opposite sign. Taurus is wealth on the ground – food plants and primarily cattle, where Scorpio is wealth underground, oil the most valuable. Taurus is the sunny fertile flower filled meadows while Scorpio rules hidden treasure, oil, diving, caves, the Dark, thrilling danger! Pluto is the extremes; Taurus loves level and peaceful, sitting on the porch swing, lying in the hammock, going barefooted. They are our everyday Buddha. Taurus does love their possessions, and Pluto is here to clear! Convert that accumulation of stuff to a tax write-off. Donate! Sometimes Taurus gets ‘lazy’ and gains weight. Pluto may just be the one to get them on their feet, so busy they think less of food! Yet both love the delicious tastes, gourmet Taurus, and the keen scents of life, perfumes and wine, Pluto. Pluto may help release Taurus from long standing relationships that are spent. He may introduce someone irresistible! Aha! Oh, my, my, my!

NEPTUNE is in his own sign Pisces. He is a water planet in the last water sign, the last sign, seeking a deeper side of life. Neptune is oceanic – is still like glass becalmed, has forever tidal sand polishing cycles, titanic storms, tsunamis! Those of you with chart factors 15 to 20 degrees will be activated with this pure energy! When calm, Neptune/Pisces get along with gentle slow mover Taurus. But don’t confuse gentle for strength. When called on, Taurus is noted for phenomenal deeds, muscles of distinction! Taurus may do yoga in the Eastern seaside sunrise. But when there is a tsunami coming, Taurus may be out there with the earth mover putting up defenses just as fast as he can. Taurus is of the Earth and knows about formidable power. At times Taurus is solidly decided in his principles, but Neptune has a way of niggling through, even psychically, and Taurus finds himself pondering further possibilities after all. Occasionally, Neptune overwhelms us with ‘inexplicable’ phenomena. We can be swept clean as a baby. We had forgotten who we are. Certain complications fall away; we are back to the prime elements. We feel so refreshed we may not even think of what happened to us so much as what has become! Practically a miracle!

URANUS, Aquarius’s planet, now covers 2 to 6 Taurus! Taurus will anchor and build on change worthy ideas that need to be instilled, spread far and wide to create a support network. They need to be cleverly woven into our daily fabric so they become a part of us, so they can effortlessly be carried on. See more about the Aries to Taurus sign change.

March 6, 2019 Uranus entered Taurus the final time. Taurus invents simple. To freedom lover Uranus being in Taurus may feel too slow, too close for comfort, so unexciting. Yet  to Taurus, Uranus being in his sign may be the most fun he’s had in a long time! What was ordinary life suddenly isn’t! There are exotic options free for the taking! Uranus himself is shocked to find walking barefoot tickles your feet, you become so aware of the charge of earth and life, that Earth herself is so very alive! It’s a whole new dimension compared to that desk chair in the still air office! Taurus may never have been bored before and now you are?! What is this feeling?! It could be pretty darn heady at first. Maybe the leap is best now, otherwise you never will! Or maybe you need to stay steady and not get carried away at all. But somehow it seems a time of wild chance that needs to be taken advantage of. Put some fallback funds in a safe place, get yourself a headband and go for it! Yoga was never so good! Supercharged divine body electric!

Taurus’s tempo is about as slower than Uranus as you can possibly get. Both are fixed signs, so a Uranian sitting at the computer hours and days at a time looks pretty slow too. But that brain is sometimes faster than the computer! Taurus may stand in that meadow, letting the 4 bovine stomachs do that digesting, but they are steadfastly taking in what’s around them, adding it all up, symbolically contemplating values step by step. There’s that phrase, ‘Stand still until you can really see.’ They teach Uranus how to be able to be still, to let go of thoughts that keep you unmindful of the very body you inhabit. Could save your life. Scent and touch are needed to make connections with others and your and their surroundings. If you can’t connect with sacred Mother Earth, you may still make money, but lose your Soul. Taurus has another kind of intelligence, very organic, animal-like, sensual, peaceful, patient and kind. It feels the wind on its skin.

CHIRON made his final entry into Aries Feb 18. He will be there for 9 years, through 2027. In Taurus’ year, he will cover 1 to 6 Aries, activating any factors you have in those degrees. See more about the Pisces/Aries sign shift. Chiron has been and will be traveling very closely to the same degrees as Uranus, the Aquarian planet, but in different signs! This has been going on since 2008 and continues through 2021, 13 years. Chiron has become more Aquarian-like and Uranus has taken on some shamanistic qualities. There is a subtle camaraderie with Aquarius. See more Pisces and Aries are the last and first of the zodiacal signs! Pisces believes; Aries takes action! There will be added flavor as Uranus enters Taurus, first a shift in the foundation, then a holding steady.

If you have Chiron in these degrees, you will be having your 51+/- year Chiron Return! Wounds and vulnerabilities will be assessed, your teaching skills improved. Updated healing systems will be applied with unbelievable results! Medical teaching will be inspiring, especially about the head, brain and eyes. The Magi Society thinks Chiron is the #1 marriage factor and good in business too!

Chiron in Aries may seem a little pushy to Taurus. Nobody pushes Taurus around. But then Chiron is a healer, even a shamanic healer, and healers are always accorded some respect. Plus if he’s healing you, and it’s working, you don’t say no. Taurus loves organic ways, so is even impressed to listen and learn. All healers are also teachers. They show us how to take better care of ourselves and get out of our own way, LOL! And they show us by demonstration, how to teach others stubborn like ourselves. If we can learn, so can they, even when we thought they couldn’t! Chiron may have some darn good business ideas a Taurus may be quite pleased with. And Chiron gets around and meets all kinds of people. Taurus may become intrigued and do a little mingling of his own with these newcomers. All it took was a little jump start!

SATURN builds from 13 Capricorn to 1 Aquarius!

Saturn is working the last half of his own sign Capricorn! Saturn will be in Capricorn along with Pluto, conjuncts Pluto once, Jan 12, 2020. Many will have more work than anybody should, or you are let go. In the long term that may be a blessing because new work you get suits you far better, or you start your own business!

Saturn Returns happen every 28 to 29 years. They can bring you to your knees, or make you bring yourself up to your full height, proud of your achievements! Now, in its own sign, it is truly full height! Those of you with Saturn 13 to 29 Capricorn will be having your Capricorn Saturn Returns now through March 21, 2020! There will be more traditional endeavors.

1. On your first Return – ages 28, 29, you may find yourself having a lot of responsibility at work, getting married, owning your first home, having a baby! Take good care of yourself.
2. If you are older, on your second Return -58, 59, keep your networks alive. Right housing, parenting, care of precious grandchildren and elders may be challenging new responsibilities. Age and health may become factors, your retirement. Sometimes Saturn brings losses, sadness, delays. Advice from seasoned experts may be just what you need. Training and studies are helpful and the knowledge you carry backs up your reputation. Alliances may be strong and mutually supportive. Give yourself credit for what you have done, the talents you have acquired! It’s a time to honor, be honored!
3. Around age 87, many are now experiencing their 3rd Saturn Return! Things don’t bother them as much. They enjoy what they want to, sometimes something they always wanted to do! There are losses of friends and loved ones. Health matters more – they are often quite brave. Family can mean a lot or if alone, friends do. Age can mean honors, even just for making it that long! Capricorn is the sign of time, elder hood. This is generally a strong time for them.

Saturn in it’s own sign, Earth sign Capricorn, is a force! Young people conduct themselves seriously and old people are more healthy, younger than others their age, strong and cheerful! Saturn adds to the desire to do good work. Saturn recognizes natural law, so its works stand the test of time. Timing is one of its fortes. Steady production, the right people in the right places at the time, being on time, are all assets. They are not only architects, builders and realtors, but understand science and structures – concrete, stones, glass. They can build roads and railways, bridges, homes, skyscrapers! They can do demolition as well as renovation! Saturn is expert at sustainability and conservation – more done with less effort, use less materials, smaller and stronger, for less cost, build tiny homes communities for homeless and seniors, contribute huge land grants to establish legendary preserves. As seniors they don’t quit. They become mentors, and with experience on their side, use new ideas of the times to start the latest businesses! They may be late starters sometimes, but often their later years are truly golden – art awards, health successes, the happiness of long marriages and plenty of grandkids!

Returns March 20 to April 19, 2020 are at 0 and 1 Aquarius! Saturn/Capricorn are of the sign just before Aquarius. Saturn can set the mark. If the goal is amazing enough, all-encompassing enough to challenge Aquarius’s talents, AQ will be on board! He will make computer diagrams, research materials, legends, why it can work now, for years, even centuries, it has not been possible before. Aquarians are delighted to learn new techniques and learn so quickly, you lose little time while they do. In fact, your results may become 10-fold in a lot less time than usual! If you are working on challenging new sustainable options, Aquarius will love this new humanitarian effort. Being on the same page, whatever it is for the two of you, makes for a healthy Spirit and union. Many amazing like minded friendships may come, or if you are overwhelmed or need time to recenter, you may take time away and enjoy being on your own. If you are in business or want to spread the word about a project, your networking can go worldwide through social media! Concentrate on humanitarian and sustainability facets of your ventures and investments.

JUPITER moves from 14 Sagittarius to 26 Capricorn

Jupiter stays in Sag the majority of 2019, until moving into Capricorn Dec 2. Jupiter/Sagittarius never fails to impress. It can be a hero, and there are plenty of those at this time. It can be a knowledge or wisdom of an exalted teacher and that might be your local high school teacher. It can be a journey of great beauty or a maximum athletic achievement. A boundless love, a loving kindness, a gift, sharing. All these touch our hearts and make a story to remember. Fortunes gained and lost, wagers won and lost, starting from nothing to making it to the top of the mountain! And if it’s bad, it can be really bad. No thieving or robbing. While traveling and your money is low, no taking something because you need it ‘more than they do.’ Big stories yes, cons no. No ‘accidental’ slander, bearing false witness, prejudice. Stay with respectful truth and honesty. Keep the long term in mind. Keep your higher ethics in place, morality intact; visit the sacred place when you need to. Keep learning in every direction.

Jupiter in Sag may be a little overwhelming for Taurus, but Taurus loves a great laugh and plenty of abundance! Jupiter is a bit fanciful for some of the locals, but they usually take up some part of what was shared by this traveler, creating their own sensible version of it. Ideas are great, but they do need to be applied in an apropos manner to the real needs of the people. Taurus is quite the observer and sees how Jupiter teaches by storytelling. Taurus can use those same techniques with stories from his own life. Jupiter has a freedom of Spirit that Taurus sometimes envies, longs for. Once in a while he just might tag along with Jupiter, getting a different perspective. He’s an Earth sign and needs to learn by experience. Then the story becomes his own. Taurus is comfy at home, so going off with Jupiter is a great compliment to Jupiter. It’s not just Taurus routines that are upset, but some conditions are downright uncomfortable. That can mean stories of endurance, which Taurus is a pro at, but also bravery to encounter these circumstances. Taurus may not go the whole distance, but who needs to?! You’re done when you’re done. Hat’s off to you for going where you did!

Jupiter in Capricorn fairly streaks through Capricorn, getting to the 26th degree, almost completely through Cap, by April 19, 2020! It makes work the most fun it ever was! You could be the visitor who is remembered for all the work you did! You might be a random traveler, a business consultant, the foreigner who was on a mission to help the people. Jupiter will help you jazz up your home, give you such good advice you can’t help doing it! They might volunteer and you join them to make some kind of profound difference. Don’t keep your lucky Jupiter charm. They need to travel, check out the territories. If you hire them, send them to the training seminars furthest away or send them to teach it! If they have too much routine, they will run away. Poof. Gone. Import/exports they are involved with might work well for you too. Their writings may inspire you to start an outstanding business newsletter or monthly report people count on. Jupiter can overdo, so Cappies beware. Know your personal limits and don’t invest on great sounding whims. Check things out. If you have had doldrums, Jupiter can cheer you up like a champ. You are encouraged because they act like you can do it, and it’s truth! See more 

Jupiter in Capricorn very happily trines Taurus! Jupiter in Capricorn can exaggerate the rules, but he and Taurus will likely work something out. Jupiter could be a bit demanding and feel it is his right to demand hard work. Taurus is literally strong as a bull, never been afraid of hard work. But Jupiter could demand the job be done sooner and that will never fly with Taurus. They do what they do when they do. However. they can see the need, and just for you, Honey, we’ll speed things up. Unheard of, but it becomes a done deal! Jupiter has that great big smile, you know. Jupiter often has great success, so it’s worth the effort, and Jupiter is working for more to come! This is just the foundation investment for the future. He may leave town, but if he keeps in touch frequently things will go fairly smoothly. Taurus sees potential too. Might be for different projects than Jupiter has in mind, but Taurus has been watching keenly, in ‘training’ so to speak, and thinks he might just be able to use Jupiter’s model and go ahead on his own just fine!

If you have factors in Sagittarius and/or Capricorn in your chart at these degrees, this could be prime time to visit the positive areas where they are on your AstroLocality map. See your AstroLocality specialist! Not all map lines are positive; some are positive only at certain portions along their length, some are positive appearing but have other hidden factors.

If your Jupiter is in these degrees in these signs, you will be having your Jupiter Return! They happen every 11/12 years. The experience you have will depend on how Jupiter is situated in your chart and how current planetary positions apply to your chart or don’t. Jupiter will bring you big truths or reveal lies. Sometimes it exaggerates your condition, could make it worse, could make it wildly abundantly better! Plans for the future may be magnified, your course changed significantly. Profound circumstances are likely to impinge on special relationships. Long lasting mergers and good marriages are possible.

Happy Birthdays, Taureans! Be Blessed and Green!

Taurus, Peace, Strength and Insight

Taurus 2018 Celestial HighLights 

x

Taurus saves us every day. It’s the sign of body awareness. Ruled by Venus, it seeks grace, beauty that permeates us. Peace comes into our hearts. Wellness makes for radiance and attractiveness. Being centered and grounded bring immediate true simple reactions, sensible solutions. It is humble, admits error, smiles with joy at success of our personal contributions that support all. There is innocence without contrivance or competition. Venus is giving. Taurus stands in patience, kindness.

Such strength is often invisible, a gentle daily action that is relaxing to follow, yet if you stand back, you can see it. There are times when their restraint is their success. It is no sign of weakness to wait until a good time. Physically, Tauruses often have amazing strength and endurance. They can lift extraordinarily heavy objects with no effort at all.

Oh, yes indeed, the same strength for forward motion can also be them standing in front of you with their arms crossed over their chest, immovable as the Oak tree. You can be gentle, rage at them, be clever with your logic to no avail. Maybe they will think on it and get back to you. That might take a short time, a few years, maybe never. You can only admire how they be true to themselves. If they tell you it will be a certain way, you can trust that will be so.

Yoga is known for flexibility, for it’s dedicated breath work, prana, the life force itself. It is known for requiring strength. The United Nations International Yoga Day, recently established in 2015, is June 21, as it is the longest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere and shares special significance in many parts of the world. In the US it correlates with Father’s Day, the third Sunday in June. We expect a lot of our men, to be strong all the time, to have patience beyond measure for mere mortals. We want them to protect us, yet be flexible to grow with us as times change. For Yoga Day to be theirs is suitable for our heroes! And they will have better health and a longer life for us to love them!

The most sacred possession you have is your own body ~ it is the instrument of your Soul’s music. That’s Taurus’s job. A good night’s sleep. Maybe a Salutation to the Sun upon waking up, to see that sunrise. Maybe you love the night time and seeing the beautiful stars and moon. Do what feels good in a good way, be peaceful to your own Self. Get exercise that keeps you on an even keel. A nature walk, taking your doggie or a good friend with you. Eat less, go for quality. It pays off in the long run. You are worth it. Sing with that lovely voice you have and take good care of your throat.

Be touched and give hugs. Do and get massages. Feel the water around your legs, the mud squish between your toes. Hold your face to the sun, let the sun warm your back, the wind ruffle your hair. Hear the crinkle of stepping on fresh snow, breathe deep taking in that snappy cold air. Heady! Lift your chin and let the sights tickle your eyes, the wildflowers in the meadow. Throw back your head and laugh because it’s all so amazing! Dance! Let your worries shape shift into another dimension. When you get back to work they shall have reordered themselves into an unexpected harmony, a doable scenario. You settle down to it.

Tauruses know the intrinsic values of things. Some things are lasting, permanent. Others things are transient, maybe flashy, but go their way shortly. Some become boring. Some we turn our backs on upon sight. Nope, not a step skipped or a moment’s hesitation, decision made. They are natural appraisers of land, people. They can feel you in a handshake, hear you in your voice, see the way you carry your body, or how your feet touch that ground, or as you walk through the door. Ask their advice and do listen.

One of the most valuable things to them is their connection with you. They are loyal to the ones they choose. They will be there for you. Make a point of being there for them too. Keep them in your heart. They are dedicated workers, often work with the land and earth in some way. They will make a stronghold for you, the children, their parents. They are sensuous lovers, love holding hands, snuggling in the flannels. Put your arm around their waist or shoulders. In the world, they make foundations to support important causes, may donate important property.

Thank you for being exactly who you are. Blessed be forever and ever.

Taurus 2018 Celestial Highlights!

Before dawn, Lyrid meteors in a dark sky Earth Day!

Thanks to EarthSky’s Bruce McClure for test, Sky & Telescope for image!

Early risers! April 21 to 23 – start watching late at night, or better yet in the hours before dawn Sunday, EARTH DAY, April 22. The annual Lyrid meteor shower will probably be at its best in the predawn hours, especially as the waxing moon will have set by that time. Assuming you’re in a dark location, you really can’t go wrong getting up in the hours before dawn Sunday and gazing skyward. You might catch some meteors, and you’ll surely see the three morning planets, Jupiter, Saturn and Mars, plus the star Antares! April 23 AM only.

Taurus 2018  Timeline!

Apr

19  Happy Taurus!
22  Lyrids Meteors best in predawn AM
29  Full Pink Moon

May 15!
New Moon 4:48 AM Pacific
Uranus into Taurus! 8:23 Am Pacific
Mars into Aquarius, the Uranian sign! 9:55 PM Pacific
25 Jupiter in Scorpio Trine Neptune in Pisces

By far, the most exciting aspect in Taurus 2018 is it hosts the Uranus sign change from Aries to Taurus at the Taurus NEW MOON! Fitting indeed! New beginnings! Mars is the planet of activation, ignition, leadership, action! Uranus is the planet of evolution, dramatic sweeping change! Things just won’t look the same a year from now!

We are in the last part of Mercury’s retrograde cycle, finishing completely May 3. Jupiter trines Neptune May 25, showing up in Full and New Moon charts now.

1. Three outer planets, Uranus, Chiron, and Jupiter, are changing signs in Tauruses’s year to come. Uranus & Chiron twice, Jupiter once, for a total of 5 times! Expect several maturities, intense endings, primal new beginnings and exciting new intentions with potent new people! There will be reviews as Uranus & Chiron retrograde back into their previous signs, and regroup in context of what they have been forward to see in their next signs. Chiron shifted from Pisces to Aries April 17. Less than a month later, Uranus shifts from Aries to Taurus May 15! They will both be in Aries April 17 to May 15, Uranus passing the baton to Chiron. Late in the year, Jupiter will enter his own sign Sagittarius Nov 8.
2. RETROGRADES emphasis! July 25 to Aug 18 we have a Mars/Mercury double retrograde. Oct 5 to Dec 6 Venus then Mercury retrograde back to back!

With the multiple sign changes and retrogrades, things will be dug up, soil turned, soups, stews and mixed salads made! We will all be quite different and get used to multiple kinds of change! We will be more comprehensive, more aware and alert to things we never considered before, expanded – to say the least!

Continuing abiding Aspects: 

Chiron & Uranus continue in their 13 years long journey closely together in the background! More

Oct 30, Pluto crosses the Golden Ecliptic at Pluto’s South Node, going from North to South! This is a once every 248 years event! See more!

Outer Planet Transits with Taurus 2018 – May 2019!

Skyline Drive, 105 miles. This route stretches through Shenandoah National Park, end-to-end, with the surrounding Blue Ridge Mountains and more than 1,300 species of plants. The annual Wildflower Weekend is in early May, featuring special talks and guided nature hikes showcasing local wildlife. Bucket list.

Pluto in Capricorn reached the beginning of the last third of Capricorn Feb 2018 moving from 18 to 23 degrees. Pluto is Scorpio’s planet and in Capricorn is in a harmonious sextile sign, an earth and water mix. A darn good business person estimating time and money to the inch! Those of you with chart factors from 0 to 20 degrees, especially in Capricorn, already know Pluto quite personally. Pluto moves about 3 degrees/year, so some of this has been years ago, for others quite fresh. For some it has been a sequence if you have several factors in degrees in a row. Pluto plunders, saves, cures, goes to extremes. Pluto ends relationships abruptly forever or loves and endures great trials and stands by you until the end. Money is made and lost, made again. Powerful charismatic careers have been possible. There have been threats, some deaths, and miraculous survival. Pluto raises the Kundalini, our life force! Powerful!

Taurus is Pluto’s sign Scorpio’s opposite sign. Taurus and Capricorn are both earth signs. Taurus and Pluto both are money signs, Taurus is my money, the money at hand, in your pocket. Scorpio is our money, of couples and corporations, all big monies like insurance, grants, loans, mortgages. A working balance is called for paying what’s owed and some happiness spending money. Taurus is known for common sense, steady attrition. Pluto wants to invest your money, which may be a shrewd move, or scare you to death and you prefer your reserves to possible loss. Pluto may give Taurus the sense they are being manipulated, or used, or with Pluto’s keen observations you may feel like someone finally really understands you. In the face of Pluto’s possible obsessions, stand your ground, stay steady with your considerations. Pluto can be seductive, so give it time. Trust yourself, stay safe. They have their way; you have yours. Way.

Neptune is in its own sign, a water planet in the last water sign seeking a deeper side of life. Neptune is oceanic – is still like glass becalmed, has forever tidal cycles, titanic storms, tsunamis! Those of you with chart factors between 13 and 18 degrees will be activated with this pure energy! Pisces sees and dreams the vision, has empathy for those who suffer. Sometimes they need rescuing themselves, from being overwhelmed by what they see, from sadness that brings them down. Taurus helps steady that unbridled flow. Neptune symbolizes the flow of the land and seasons with its vast seasonal ocean currents. Taurus’s territory is what’s under his feet. Neptune swirls him to new shores. Neptune softens the deep consideration of Taurus’s ruminations, introduces a less obvious mystical sense into the mix. Though a bit unsettling, it removes that stubborn edge if you surrender. Things go a little faster, energy is released. Barefoot is best.

Uranus covers 28 Aries to 4 Taurus! Uranus enters Taurus May 15, 2018! Those of you with factors in these last degrees of Aries will be accomplishing the maturity of Uranus in Aries, strengthening the final touches to secure the foundation of the future that Taurus will build on. Change worthy ideas need to be instilled, spread far and wide to create a support network, cleverly woven into our daily fabric so they become a part of us, effortlessly carried on.

Uranus is the planet of Aquarius, so unique that utter freedom is automatic. In fire sign Aries, it’s the First of everything, truly awakening! Aries is pretty unflappable, but this really shakes your space! Aries loves a challenge and new things. Rarely are they outdone in that dept, but Uranus has a bigger platform. It rules humanity, and although Aries is only one person, they step up because they know the value of key positions that make the difference! Uranus replaces some Aries circuits and the game is bigger yet! Can’t get enough! Young people have been fired up. The Awakener has opened their eyes! What powerful times we are in!

In Aries, the spark may be a bit bright for Taurus. Taurus is the sign of rumination, the Bull and his 4 stomachs, digesting, absorbing, moving information from one dimension to the next, the ability to be still while doing so. There truly is progress, it just isn’t always visible. But conclusions are well thought out. Uranus electrifies, brings ideas ahead of their times, that mortify or magnetize! Intriguing show to say the least. We find ourselves thinking of them, questioning, even if we thought we disagreed. Maybe it is the manner of presentation rather than the ideas themselves. Maybe it’s time to kick up our heels and make a run for it!

Uranus in Taurus invents simple. Now in Taurus’s sign it will specialize in Taurus topics! It either feels too close for comfort, or it’s the most fun you’ve had in a long time! What was ordinary life suddenly isn’t! There are exotic options free for the taking! Walking barefoot tickles your feet, you become so aware of the charge of earth and life, that Earth herself is so very alive! You may never have been bored before and now you are?! What is this feeling?! It could be pretty darn heady at first. Maybe the leap is best otherwise you never will! Or maybe you need to stay steady and not get carried away. But it seems a time of wild chance that needs to be taken advantage of. Put some fallback funds in a safe place, get yourself a headband and go for it!

Chiron, like Neptune is also in Pisces, but covers different degrees, 27 Pisces to 4 Aries, the same degrees but different signs than Uranus! These are the last and first of the zodiacal signs! Pisces believes; Aries takes action! Chiron entered Aries April 17 2018! Chiron will activate any factors you have in those degrees. If you have Chiron in those degrees and signs, you will be having your Chiron Return! Wounds and vulnerabilities will be assessed. Updated healing systems will be applied with unbelievable results! Medical teaching will be inspiring, especially about vision and feet while in Pisces, and the head, brain and eyes when in Aries. The Magi Society thinks Chiron is the #1 marriage factor and good in business too!

Chiron the Healer is fluid in Pisces, takes only a moment to assess a situation. Pisces is the Dreamer visionary spiritualist musician, while Chiron is seeking healing, teaching, right relationships and good business. Chiron may approach it from Neptune’s point of view, however because they are both in Pisces, Neptune’s sign! Taurus is pretty steady, but Chiron in Pisces is psychic at seeing what ails you. Might be food  – breads, cheese, sweets. Your body may be enormously physically strong, but too much of the wrong foods can trip you up, slow you down, cause tummy and other issues. Chiron looks at how that all can affect your attractiveness, self esteem, financial acuity, relationships – both lovers and children, your ability to take care of elders you love.

On a 51 year cycle, when Chiron goes into Aries for 9 years. through 2027, Taurus may be surprised to find ways to exercise that pleases them! Could be a bike ride, a ground covering walk in the woods! With Chiron in Aries, healing will speed up at an enormous rate! We will process many challenges with at times unproven but successful results. Yes, there will be some rash attempts, but quickly remedied as the leaders push on. In some ways it will be like a renaissance! Aries intends to get right to it and Aries will be happily lead the way with innovative physical therapy, exercise techniques, movement businesses will flourish. Taurus may find himself opening a gym with weights, competitive sports – boxing, martial arts. Chiron will show him new ways to do business, how to have relationships best suited to his Spirit, how to teach on the fly! 9 Years! They will congratulate each other for all the accomplishments – if they have time, LOL!

SATURN builds from 2 to 20 Capricorn. Saturn entered his own sign Capricorn Dec 19, 2017! Saturn will be in Capricorn along with Pluto, conjuncts Pluto once, Jan 12, 2020. In his own sign, many will have more work than anybody should, or you are let go. In the long term that may be a blessing because new work you get suits you far better or you start your own business!

Saturn Returns happen every 28 to 29 years. They can bring you to your knees, or make you bring yourself up to your full height, proud of your achievements! Now, in its own sign, it is truly full height! Those of you with Saturn 2 to 20 Capricorn will be having your Capricorn Saturn Returns now through May 2019! There will be more traditional endeavors. On your first Return – 28, 29, you may find yourself having a lot of responsibility at work, getting married, owning your first home, having a baby! Take good care of yourself. If you are older, on your second Return -58, 59, keep your networks alive. Right housing, parenting, care of precious grandchildren and elders may be challenging new responsibilities. Age and health may become factors, retirement. Sometimes Saturn brings losses, sadness, delays. Advice from seasoned experts may be just what you need. Training and studies are helpful and the knowledge you carry backs up your reputation. Alliances may be strong and mutually supportive. Give yourself credit for what you have done, the talents you have! It’s a time to honor, be honored!

Saturn in Earth sign Capricorn feels the support of fellow Earth sign Taurus. Taurus may be pushed by take-it-on Capricorn, but their intents are harmonious. Taurus wants a safe and comfortable home with good organic food in the kitchen. It knows the value of feeling well and having quality fare. Saturn will make demands and Taurus is willing to step up to the plate. Saturn realizes the value of experience and being steady under fire and is well pleased with Taurus’s contribution. Taurus may find themselves comfortably picking up the pace, especially with Capricorn’s expert time saving expertise. Saturn is grateful for Taurus’s dependability and loyalty. On both sides, be sure wages are fair and equitable for these benefits. 

JUPITER moves from 13 Scorpio to 24 Sagittarius!

Jupiter in Scorpio! Scorpio wants you to heal, to heal your relationship and be healed by them, and increase your financial potential! Scorpio charisma is compelling, and has nothing to do with beauty. It is from a wellspring within. Scorpio is doctor hood, from cleansing your personal plumbing, purging toxins, to forensics. Scorpio often has extraordinary personal healing capacity, and can save your life too! They want to know how things work, do research. Jupiter may take Scorpio worldwide to seek investments, study shamanistic skills, find answers to lifesaving questions. Old remedies the midwives knew may come back into use. Through journalistic research justice may come for those who have suffered long extreme abuse – land grabs, sexual abuse, calculated theft, slavery/human trafficking, murdering of children and animals. Secret factions may unite for prevention, education, exposé and social justice. Be safe. If you aren’t up to par, take time out. Let your Ninja 6th sense and stealth protect you.

Jupiter is a fire planet ready to inspire Taurus with its long vision. Taurus is Scorpio’s opposite sign. Taurus prefers their steady routine, so Jupiter needs to place it’s ideas in Taurus territory with a little care. Bring it to them bit by bit so they get used to it. Expect it to take a little extra time as you honor your friend’s needs to think things through. It’s not for anyone to win, but to do what works in your hearts. It can be a relief that you don’t expect everything to happen all at once. Early on, introduce your plan and make those steps realistic to the person at hand. If you try to be clever and trick your Taurus, that might work for awhile, but there is a core person in Taurus that won’t be used or abused. You might end up losing more than you ventured. On the other hand, let’s say it’s a plan you both can get behind, no matter how long it takes. They like your invitation and put heart and hoof into it! They offer steady support, telling key people how it makes fundamental good sense, and right behind them, you can do the fundraising.

Jupiter, Sagittarius’ planet, in Sagittarius, wants to share knowledge! Taurus believes in schooling, the more sensible the better. You may have to take them on a few journeys to see other ways of living, techniques of teaching at other schools. If they are pleased, they may fund the hospital teaching wing, or the church classrooms with daycare provided. If you travel, make your Taurus comfy and bring their favorite foods and blankies. Trains are lovely, the land is soothing to see. Get off the train, out of the car for walk breaks. Jupiter is always wanting to raise standards, are more all encompassing. It’s important to show your Taurus how this personally affects them and their loved ones. Programs for a cleaner planet, better land use, protecting pristine land and resources will go well with them. Ethics are important to Jupiter, the greater truth, higher meaning. Talk philosophy, sustainability. You may be surprised by the exchange. Jupiter helps us stretch, has robust health, generally lives long and prospers! Taurus may be impressed, or just not even notice. So point it out how they can translate that into their own lives, or to someone they love. Sometimes Tauruses are working with such dedication you have to open the door yourself.

If your Jupiter is in these degrees in these signs, you will be having your Jupiter Return! They happen every 11/12 years. Jupiter will bring you big truths or reveal lies. Sometimes it exaggerates your condition, could make it worse, could make it wildly abundant and better! Plans for the future may be magnified, your course changed significantly. Profound circumstances are likely to impinge on special relationships. Long lasting mergers and marriages are quite possible.

Happy Birthdays, Tauruses!

Celebrate our Home, Mother Earth!

Ger Erickson’s foggy dawn image has 3 varieties of magnificent oaks at Murphy Meadow, Round Valley Regional Preserve, Contra Costa County CA. December 5, 2016. Oak is Taurus’s official tree. See image full size

From Ger’s sweeping image to Tom Egan’s tiny desert plant smaller than a quarter, the width of a few grains of sand….the Barstow Woolly Sunflower, Eriophyllum mohavense, both are special parts of our amazing planet.

From big to small, there are precious, even sacred, treasures everywhere. Please tread carefully and kindly wherever you go. Walk like a Taurus. Go barefooted. Feel your connection.

As a tribute to Earth Day, In these times of ecological imperilment, animals, plants, humans, I feel called to possibly inspire you to further dedicate your efforts, as you can, to protect all who are endangered. Some areas, and loss of precious lives, can be irrevocable. Each of us loves different landscapes. I may not have imaged yours, but you know I would have if there were space. Bless you for being such a wonderful Earth Steward!

TAURUS 2017 Celestial Highlights!

Throughout the month of May you won’t find the Milky Way in the early part of the night. The disk of our Milky Way galaxy is flat, like a pancake. At northern temperate latitudes, as evening falls in the month of May, the plane of the pancake-shaped galactic disk pretty much coincides with the plane of your horizon! We can’t see it until late at night. When we do, the Milky Way passes right through the Summer Triangle – Vega, Deneb, Altair. Watch for it rising in the eastern sky if you’re up late! EarthSky.org image!

Don’t forget to make special arrangements for viewing the August 21 Eclipse!

Outer Planet Transit Aspects with Taurus 2017-May 2018!

Golden Sea of Canola Flowers in Luoping, China. The location is described as north of the snail field and south of the Golden Rooster Peak Cong and thousands of mountains.

May you never move more than your personal pace, but in comfort and style, music and beauty.

Four outer planets, Uranus, Chiron, Saturn and Jupiter are changing signs in Taurus’s year to come.

Pluto is just past mid Capricorn, reaches the beginning of the last third of Capricorn May 2018 moving from 16 to 21 degrees. Pluto is Scorpio’s planet and in Capricorn is in a harmonious sextile sign, an earth and water mix. A darn good business person estimating time and money to the inch! Though Taurus is also an Earth sign, it does not necessarily enjoy the scrutiny of Pluto the planet of Taurus’s opposite sign Scorpio. Yet Pluto sees what is supreme in us as well as flaws that need healing that releases that goodness in us to perform fully. Taurus may be enchanted out of a spot they were not aware they were stuck in. Their solid offerings revealed, Pluto in Capricorn offers them the work!

Neptune is in its own sign, moves from 11 to 16 Pisces. It is a water Planet in the last water sign seeking a deeper side of life. Neptune is oceanic – is still like glass becalmed, has forever tidal cycles, titanic storms, tsunamis! Those of you with chart factors between 11 and 16 degrees will be activated with this pure energy. Taurus likes being grounded and steady. It loves fresh water to moisten fertile land, refresh the body, cleanse the Spirit. Neptune can be subtle, the fog over the land, or the rock music rhythm while you are cleaning house or dancing in the meadow! It makes us wonder, loosens our earthly bonds, be more finely in tune. It helps us remember our dreams, and that not all beauty is of the flesh or money.

Uranus covers 24 Aries to 0 Taurus! Uranus enters Taurus May 15, 2018! Those of you with factors in these last degrees will be accomplishing the last year of Uranus in Aries, strengthening the final touches to secure the foundation of the future that Taurus will build on. Change worthy ideas need to be instilled, spread far and wide to create a support network, cleverly woven into our daily fabric so they become a part of us, effortlessly carried on.

Uranus is the planet of Aquarius, so unique that utter freedom is a automatic. In Aries, the First of everything, it is kin to Aquarius the Awakener! Aquarius is way ahead of its time; Aries is the first to DO it! Tauruses are willing, but by their own choice. They generally prefer daily dependable security. Uranus in Aries is not that! They are perfectly strange and get your attention! This crazy stranger walks onto your property and darned if they don’t have some great ideas! You find yourself switching this and that and when you look up they are gone! You may be inspired to meet with your locals, hire a consultant to update things periodically.

When Uranus gets into Taurus it’s going to feel quite personal to Tauruses. You may be nervous, so ready for change, run away from home with friends, start a new business! Uh, you may be more than horny, enjoy some exotic company! Your body may literally change, and you find yourself singing! You could be on your own or involved in strong community organizations. Uranus will be in Taurus through April 2026, activating your chart in various ways, bit by bit, as it goes through the degrees.

Chiron, like Neptune is also in Pisces, covers 24 Pisces to 1 Aries, entering Aries April 17 2018! Chiron will conjunct any factors you have in those degrees. If you have Chiron in those degrees, you will be having your Chiron Return! Wounds and vulnerabilities will be assessed. Updated healing systems will be applied with unbelievable results! Medical teaching will be inspiring, especially about vision and feet while in Pisces, and the head and eyes when in Aries. The Magi Society thinks Chiron is the #1 marriage factor and good in business.

Chiron the Healer is fluid in Pisces, takes only a moment to assess a situation and is quite willing to work with Taurus’s natural herbal and touch healing remedies! Pisces knows about cleanses, meditation. Taurus is quite willing to sit with the flowers, have steam baths, teas, herbal inhalants. Some of these remedies can be applied symbolically to the rest of our lives. Be thoughtful about your relationships. Give them time to heal. Be genuine and clear about your business endeavors. Keep good people in your life.

When Chiron goes into Aries for 9 years. through 2027, it will speed up healing at an enormous rate! We will process many challenges with unproven but successful results. Yes, there will be some rash attempts, but quickly remedied as the leaders push on. In some ways it will be like a renaissance! It may make a Taurus head spin, but already we are being tuned up to be ready!

Saturn builds from 21 Sagittarius to 9 Capricorn now through April 2018. Saturn goes into its own sign Capricorn Dec 19, 2017!

In Sagittarius Saturn may find his travel budget lacking for the time being, or may find perfect low budget opportunities! Education may need to wait, but is still a good investment as soon as possible. Saturn has some realistic proposals that a Taurus can get behind. The plans look well founded. Time and costs need working out. Diversifying may be a bit unsettling, and there needs to be steady attention to keep progress going well. It may seem a bit pretentious or upscale to Taurus, out of your element, so maybe keep your old homestead. Maybe hire the traveler after checking their creds, and check on them from time to time.

Those with Saturn 21 to 29 degree Sagittarius will be having their Sagittarian Saturn Returns. Sagittarians are seers, looking across the mountains, over the rainbow, keenly to the arrow’s point far, far away. Saturn knows so much is doable, one step, one board, a brick at a time, the framework will go up. Sagittarius will have their learning place, teaching hope itself. They are optimistic and faithful to the cause. When that one is built, on to the next!

29 year Saturn Returns can make you bring yourself up to your full height, proud of your achievements! If you are on your first Return, you may be having substantial career success, marry, have your first child, buy a home! If you are on your second Return, about age 58, you may be thinking of retirement plans, be called to take care of aging parents. Sometimes Saturn brings losses, sadness, delays. Advice from experienced experts may be just what you need.

When Saturn goes into his own sign Capricorn Dec 19, 2017, Saturn might have more work than anybody should, or they are let go. In the long term that may be a blessing when they get replacement work that suits them better or they start their own business! Taurus is strong and doesn’t mind starting and having their own business. It’s in their genes, having been farmers, Mother Nature their only boss. They are survivors used to huge challenges. Capricorn, the last Earth sign, brings the science of it all to bear, and production, no matter what business it is, increases. Laws and contracts may help or hinder; get expert advice. Timing makes a difference. It may be the perfect time to retire! Saturn will be in Capricorn until Dec 2020

Those of you with Saturn 0 to 9 Capricorn will be having your Capricorn Saturn Returns! There will be more traditional endeavors. Take good care of yourself, keep your networks alive. Housing, parenting, care of elders may be challenging new responsibilities. Age may become a factor, retirement. Give yourself credit for what you have done, the talents you have! It’s a time to honor, be honored!

Jupiter moves from 13 Libra to 23 Scorpio, entering Scorpio Oct 10.

Jupiter in Libra is a volatile Fire and Air combination, loves to carry on getting to know you. Taurus and Libra share Venus as their ruler. In Taurus it is a strong body beautiful, growing the flowers, ownership of fine things, land, sensuality. In Libra it is social, beauty is fine arts, symphonies, ballet & plays. A classy city penthouse with views and airspace, lots of light keeps the spirits up. Dance is pure Grace. Libra brings finesse to Taurus, expands their social, business and life connections. Taurus invites Libra to be with the Earth, not forget their natural roots. Quite different ways of loving a lot of the same things. Jupiter invites Taurus to learn more, make good use of other humans who would like to help. When you travel, be comfortable, in good company.

Jupiter in Scorpio is opposite Taurus. Libra has prepared the way, making introductions, getting Taurus used to new people and ideas. Things are not as steady as they used to be, but we’re getting used to it and stepping up. Scorpio says it’s not just your money, but how we put it all together for the greater good or more powerful investments that will pave the way to support future ventures, causes. They will ask for funding. Projects and plans will be discussed. There will be important ideas considered. Jupiter is good willed, and with Scorpio offers new healing information. When we up our capacity. old debilities will be left behind. Our potential for love increases. Let go the fears, remove the old blocks. Stay safe, be clear seeing with clean motives.

If your Jupiter is in these Libra or Scorpio degrees, you will be having your Jupiter Return! Jupiter will bring you big truths or reveal lies. Sometimes it exaggerates your condition, could make it wildly abundant! Plans for the future may be magnified, your course changed significantly. Profound circumstances are likely to impinge on special relationships. Long lasting mergers and marriages are quite possible.

Happy Birthdays, Tauruses! May you meander in great happiness.

Special request! Pledge to Get Kids Outdoors

Nearly two-thirds of the U.S. population does not have close-to-home access to nature, with the greatest disparities found in low-income communities. Community gardens can bring nature into small spaces and are a great introduction to the outdoors for many kids.

Time in nature makes us whole, healthy, and happy. It also improves learning and strengthens our communities. Adding more green space can even help mitigate some of the impacts of climate change. Yet far too few people have safe access to nearby nature.

Any of these outer planet factors may be activating other factors in your chart as well as your Sun. They may be difficult, may be rosy, maybe both! Check with your favorite astrologers for the whole picture! May it go well with you….

Taurus Advocates, Steady in the Light!

Birthing is Primal Advocacy. A BlessingWay ceremony honors the Birth to come, the Mother’s Journey. Beautiful image by Yogini Momma

From one day to the next Tauruses walk this Earth, touching, tending, teaching by Being. Beauty is their Grace, patience is their Charm, sweet gentle kindness is their healing gift. Children get peaceful, animals are calmed. We have time to notice each other, listen to the words, adjust our tone. Flowers bloom, brooks sparkle, the Sun bestows his light magic. We get cooked by the Great Spirit. The Buddha sat by the road, grounded and centered. Compassion can become a way of life.

We’re not saying sit down and take it. Not a chance. Stand true and solid. Have genuine outrage. Start a foundation that never gives up, uses common sense, and gets the job done! Dependable renewable energy is at your fingertips, right in your heart! Determination is one breath, then one step at a time. Others will be right beside you in those spiritual traces, pulling, pushing, just as strongly as you are!

There are moments to take time out, restore. Thinking is good. You will know when to adjust and start anew. Modify your pace at times to observe clearly, watch the flow around you and see the precise moment to make your move. Stubborn is just one side of the coin.

Tauruses love doing touch work, massage, working with textiles and textures, fine clothes, comfort items and delicious foods. Beauty businesses are dear to their heart – flowers, hair and nail pampering. Creams, soaps, sachets. Exercise to improve our health and supple fitness, relax our spirits, bring Peace. Yoga and meditation. Working with the land suits these nature lovers. Natural remedies – herbal tinctures, flower essences. Landscaping, botanic gardens, seed sellers, compost makers, farmers. Setting up foundations, conservancies, environmental protection organizations with the gold in their counting house making having worked hard for all that money well worth it. We hear the phrase ‘strong as an ox,’ and you can count on it. Weight lifting, moving businesses are easy and enjoyable for them.

Health is usually strong, but overeating those tasty foods, sweets, is their nemesis. When they sit, sometimes it’s hard to get up. Lazing in those flannel sheets feels good forever, especially on cold mornings. Tauruses have lovely melodic voices. Sometime they strain their throat muscles, get sore throats. In the old days, hanging was a danger! Our thyroid gland stores and produces hormones that affect the function of virtually every organ in our bodies. It is so important for it to function well – it ‘regulates our metabolic rate and is associated with modest changes in body weight and energy levels.’

As Lovers, the sensuality is sweet, fragrant as a bed of rose petals! Sharing food, especially those chocolates, is sensual. Whipped cream. Though perhaps a bit possessive, if you need to feel secure, they will be there for you forever! They will support you, your efforts for success, back you financially if they can and you let them, offering excellent sensible advice along the way.They may be slow to propose, but it’s worth the wait!

Fertility is just about a given with Tauruses. A BlessingWay ceremony is perfect. Taurus children love snuggling but dislike being restrained! Their strength and sheer persistence often gets them their way. Now that’s a challenge! Distraction works sometimes, but you can imagine their power of focus. Once you give them a toy, don’t expect it back anytime soon, LOL! Mine! They learn a lot by doing, living in and testing their bodies, seeing for themselves. And it’s amazing how fast they can move once they have their sights on a new location! Food is no problem. Try them with different textures and flavors, just mind the calories!

There is usually a family pet or two, doggies to romp with at the lake or beach. Piggies, lambs, goat milk, chickies, a mule or horse or two or three would be sweet. Respectfully at times there may be furs, hides or skins about, some as clothing, some for making beaded ceremonial pieces, drum covers. Reliable Tauruses are right for the day by day, hour to hour care needed for animal husbandry, birthings.

As seniors, steady walks, getting refreshed outdoors in all kinds of weather may keep their spirits in good fettle. Gardening, weaving, gentle relaxing productive activities are peaceful. Trips to see the wonders of our Earth, educational flower tours keep our minds working. Caring for furry four leggeds, maybe ones that have been rescued, keeps us engaged, and it is a blessing for the creatures.

As the advocates you Tauruses always are, keep what’s dear to your heart at the top of your list.

Stay Strong, Stay Green, be Fertile and Forever Blessed!
