Aries! Natural Born Leaders!

2024 Aries Jamaican Runner Usain Bolt fastest man alive!

August 16, 2009 — 2009 was the year Usain Bolt became known as the fastest man alive, thanks to his performance in the IAAF Athletics Championship in Berlin. AFP/Getty Images He’s wearing Jamaica’s colors green and gold! Chinese year Fire Tiger! Nickname Lightning Bolt!

Just as much as Aries is a terrific first responder, instantly reactive to what’s needed, breath by breath, so are they first to see what’s needed in world affairs – from politics to climate, your company’s systems, structures, how you treat your people, to home needs and what would work better in your garden. They are heady and brainy. They will give you super ideas, give you a head start, but don’t expect them to necessarily stick around and do the work. They will inspire you, ‘head’ you in the right direction, give you a nudge or a shove, and leave you to go on to their next exciting new challenge! In other words, listen good and quick, don’t miss your appt with them, they might not wait or be grumpy if they do. They are prime consultants. Respect. They have been around and seen a lot, what works and what doesn’t!

They are fab fast action coaches! Aries are red blooded athletes, being first is their DNA! They love racing around, often are wiry, have sleek short hair (no time for long or repeated tending), often wear a cap. Headgear is happiness, like those little camp head lamps with all the settings. Women wear light makeup if at all, prefer a more natural look. They are excellent at mechanics of all kinds. Fast and clever vehicles are their forte!

One man’s action can change the world! Mars is the planet of Aries. Jamaican retired sprinter Usain Bolt (BOLT a perfect name for a strong Mars starter man, right?!) is terrific inspiration for his people, young people worldwide! His Mars is in his fist house, Mars’ own house! As the planet and house of beginnings, he was super fast out of the blocks! That Mars is superlative in Capricorn – no wasted time or motion, determined, the Master! Wiki says: eight-time Olympic gold medalist, Bolt is the only sprinter to win Olympic 100 m and 200 m titles at three consecutive Olympics (2008, 2012, and 2016). If you are not an Aries, do check what sign and house your Mars is in and what is in your first house, the Aries house. If you are more feisty or outspoken than expected, those placements may tell your story!

Aries loves newborns! Aries colors are Red for their heart of Passion and White for purity, a certain childlike innocence at times. It stands for integrity, acting from core being. Getting the wee ones off to a good start is essential. Letting them experience life – make their own choices, have challenges, ‘failures’ that teach them, honors! This leads them to strength and independence in a good way. Aries doesn’t usually repeat, nor sit around moaning. If they fall, they get up! They need your confidence in them that they will find a better way! They are leaders even as young people. Give them autobiographies of famous adventurers, leaders that overcame their difficulties against long odds, those who have disabilities yet they become champions of their own situation.

Relationships for Aries are not necessarily easy even with other fire signs, nor Air signs. Leo likes attention and Aries just doesn’t stand still long enough. Sagittarius has wander lust and Aries doesn’t care. He goes where he wants when he wants. Air signs – Gemini is fidgety like Aries and Aquarius lives in his own creative world, may enjoy a visit, but both are so independent, an alliance is not likely. Libra likes finesse, Aries has no intention of being a people pleaser, can have a short fuse, but moves right along, doesn’t hold a grudge, no time, next. Earth signs too slow; water signs too wet, dampening the Spirit. Aries doesn’t seem to be trustworthy to more conservative signs. He doesn’t love to take orders unless there is high adventure, likely some danger, his courageous contribution appreciated!

Everybody loves him, however, when he takes up their cause! He has initiative, just check in from time to time to see if he’s still on course, needs anything. You go to him. Don’t get in his way or call him in interrupting his work. Let him work he may be there only a short time… Aries is one of the three signs that often don’t marry. More certainly like interests may bring you together and Aries needs a long rope. Fast infatuation and brief relationships are common. Once you are ‘conquered,’ he loses interest. However, also, there are times when charts match in other ways exceptionally well, plus have some other stabilizing factors in their charts! See your astrologer(s), ok?

Health!  Aries rules the Head and face/eyes. Like, where are you headed?! Watch out for low branches. Head injuries – wear your helmet. Please. They don’t go anywhere slowly. Adrenals. You can overdo it and get really tired. Blood, anemia and blood pressure. Aries has an intense inner agenda. The pressure isn’t even about what others want of him, he wants to do his personal best every waking moment and during sleep too, LOL! Headaches are stress, fear of not succeeding. Pituitary gland, so important, only the size of a pea! Some Aries have brilliant red hair, very fair skin, are sensitive to sunburn, even have a ruddy complexion. Keep your muscles in good shape.

Soldiers of Spirit, Leading the Dawn of the Zodiacal Year, Spring Equinox! Vitality, fearless courage, gusto. Some Aries may lead from behind. It can be surprisingly powerful position. They show us the inner principles that inspire us. Some people call them a servant leader who sees to the team’s needs. Mark Grimshaw says: ‘ It is often associated with providing support, empowerment, and guidance to others, allowing them to take the lead while the leader works behind the scenes. This approach emphasizes collaboration, delegation, and trust in the abilities of others to achieve goals.’ The advantage to the leader is many ideas are brought into play and more cutting edge change happens!

At this time last year Aries was hosting Pluto’s entry into Aquarius with a five planets Stellium that included the New Moon, a Full Moon with a super conjunction, a second Full Moon rare Hybrid Eclipse! It was a phenomenal set! This year Pluto is in Aquarius until Sep 1 when it briefly returns to Capricorn’s last degree, until Nov 19. Then it’s back to AQ for 20 years! That 29th degree may be tough on any of you with factors in the last 3 degrees of any sign, but toughest for Cancer, Libra, Capricorn. Likely the most challenging for those of you born in the last 3 degrees of Aries! We have been at this degree combination twice before, and most of us made it. This will be the third and last time. Shore up any weak spots; strengthen your foundation for the future.

All in all, Aries are Leaders. They will be carrying the symbolic Olympic Torch for our world today and for each of us embarking on this new Pluto in Aquarius freedom journey.

May we each fulfill our divine appointments ~

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

May 25 Jupiter into Gemini! Abundant brilliant diversity!

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!

Dec 26 Day after Christmas Cancer-Capricorn Full Cold Moon!

Dec 26 Day after Christmas Cancer-Capricorn Full Cold Moon

Tuesday Dec 26 at 4:33 PM Pacific at 4 Cancer-Capricorn 58!

Treasures and Blessings! Memories, past life healings, some are being made right now! Have a precious Holiday and delicious Full Moon! Leftovers are the best, LOL!

2023 Cancer-Capricorn Day aft Xmas Full Cold Moon!

Beautiful Full Moon Holiday image at Condé Nast Traveler! Post by David Jefferys December 24, 2015. Sorry, I couldn’t find the photographer’s name or the location.

Hope you got lots of love and some sweet prezzies yesterday! If things weren’t so good, bless you and do the best you can. Sometimes small gains have a surprising future. You’ve got a big hug, gentle if need be, from me right now ~

This Full Cold Moon is the first full moon of the 2023-2024 winter season and the first full moon after the winter solstice. For many, Winter Solstice is considered to be the astronomical New Year.

The Magical Full Moon Bow! 

Mother Moon and Father Sun, such appropriate designations when Moon is in her own Sign Cancer, and is opposite Sun in the Father, Patriarchal sign Capricorn. Home and family, children are tended by Mama and Papa is making sure there is secure shelter, monies to support them all. They each offer their talents in behalf of the other and the little ones. Cancer Moon’s hoarding instinct is part of her talent, her photographic memory keeps accurate books, can return to the source and update. Capricorn Sun is a keen observer, and sometimes she can see through his eyes. She sees the importance and timeliness of his goals, and supports what he wants to build.

Two outer planets of opposite natures, Jupiter and Saturn, are working with them this time. Traveler, teacher, sporty Jupiter is hot but grounded in steadfast earthy Taurus. Saturn is not exactly his cool hard tough self in Pisces, but is harnessing the psychic and spiritual powers of Pisces, the etheric sign of the Dreamtime!

These characters are all closely connected in early degrees two through five. The Moon and Sun are opposite, the long red line that crosses the chart. That line is connected by three green lines – see them? That is the Bow Pattern, considered quite favorable, filled with opportunities. Cancer is quick on it, Capricorn sees the magic in it! Jupiter is fame and fortune, good luck. In Taurus he takes possession and anchors the potential immediately. Saturn is Capricorn’s planet, so he and Sun have camaraderie. They have a wizardly flavor and almost magically get the materials together, sing high praises, and it is practically a barnstorming event! Pisces brings his psychic skills to bear, and the Saturn time machine brings it all together at the right time. Yes, there will be some moments of Mercury retro delays, but even those will be dispersed into improved results!

Not only are the four planets all sextile each other but two fine trines are part of the scenario!

Sextiles connect harmonious signs of mixed elements and offer more opportunities! Moon to Jupiter might surprise you and not mind traveling or moving. Jupiter in Taurus like comfy and convenient circumstances, so a trip like that might be enjoyable. Cancers are forever scholars and Jupiterians are educators and publishers! Together they could have an excellent local business of foods, cheeses, restaurant, bed and breakfast, conference site. They would serve big city guests at their prime location.

Moon trines Saturn of her opposite sign Capricorn, so she feeds him, shares doing business with him, and he in Pisces, is also a sensitive water sign. They are psychic together, empathic and caring. Each has personal struggles, so there is a genuine camaraderie without judgment.

Sun, Father Sun, and Saturn, Father, Grand Father Time, both have positions of authority. Sun just shines his Light, has Presence, automatically leads the show at any age! Saturn is the Law, the integrity of the people, the Master Craftsman, the CEO, President, one who commands respect. These two can share powers and work stunningly together. Sun might contribute design and color, be on the marketing side of things, bring pride, heart and Soul, Spirit to an endeavor that matters more than money. Saturn may be the architect of magic, build an amazing empire then link that one with other empires! Truly inspiring.

Sun in last earth sign Capricorn trines Jupiter in first earth sign Taurus. Sun and Jupiter are both heroes, champions and LUCKY! Lion and Centaur! Sun shines and Jupiter is big hearted too, funny, a liar/truth teller and terrific storyteller! Sun performs and acts the parts much to the delight of all! Capricorn is a bit serious at times and urges taking timely responsibility. Taurus pleads Mother Earth’s case at Jupiter’s court of justice. So it’s not all fun, games and theatre. These two may be too busy to be interviewed. They each need a full team backing them!

Aspects with Neptune!

1) The Important Aspect that happens Three Times! (Retrograde) Mercury square Neptune!

Nov 27‘s Gemini-Sagittarius Full Moon was the same day Mercury in Sagittarius squared Neptune in Pisces the first time. The second square of the Two Sign Sagittarius-Capricorn Mercury Retrograde is the same day as Dec 26‘s day after Christmas Cancer-Capricorn Full Moon! The final square of the 3 part Mercury Rx cycle is Jan 8, 2024 three days before the Jan 11 New Moon, the first lunar event of 2024! See the Mercury Retrograde Timeline. This combination has further resonance because when Mercury is in Virgo, it is opposite Pisces, Neptune’s sign, and Neptune is now powerful in Pisces! Neptune has creds! Mercury is now in Sagittarius inquisitively retrograde, looking back along its track seeing what might have been missed. There were confusing times, yet part of the test is to keep Faith. He is rethinking his perspectives, developing a more generous overview. There is a spiritual overtone since Sagittarius is a seeker, does religious studies, a sometimes churchgoer, and Neptune is THE planet of spirituality. In the long darker days of Solstice time we go a little deeper for the meanings of life, caring for each other with kindnesses. Pisces is the sign of Saviors, suffering and addictions, surrender and blessed compassion. There is so much to forgive, release, and give thanks for. Let the Highest be done and let it begin with me.

At the earth level we have seen swarms of floods, powerful water, snow, ice events. I want to see ways for Saturn to harvest water significantly, to help take care of our oceans, reduce plastic and poisonous pollution, to harvest safely without harming other fish, dolphins and whales, to harvest cleanly and more abundantly. See more!

Mercury in Sagittarius has three flavors!

  1. Mercury’s first sign is Gemini, then Virgo. Flavored by Gemini, Mercury is of it’s opposite sign Sagittarius! In the old astrological words, Gemini is Mind and Sagittarius is the Path, the purpose, the meaning of those words. We find that Gemini is motivated by the purpose, and the purpose is based on the strength and quality of the data furnished by Gemini. Gemini is the more local neighborhood, siblings connections while Sagittarius is the Traveler, Professor, Philosopher/Religious Guide who takes us out into the world, connects entire arenas, shows us there is more, much more! Gemini teaches us how to learn. Sag teaches us how to think. The quality of the connections we make are essential to growth. This foundation gives Sagittarius the command, the skilled delivery of boundless information. Given the right input by Gemini, Sagittarius becomes the sign of Abundance!
  2. Mercury flavored by Virgo often tinkers with trivial bits of information but doesn’t miss a trick! In Sagittarius, the tendency leans to right sizable pieces, and lots of them – adds up quickly! It is after not just meaningful, but profound! Sag is always looking for perspective, the long view, where we’re going and why? It’s not just the Mercurial facts, but what they mean together. Sag tends to emphasize, make it bigger than life! They like to play and tell stories.
  3. In addition to these Mercury sign connections, at this time retrograde, he is going back to conjunct Mars the very next day! This and in fire sign Sagittarius is double hot and spicy! Could be rowdy, rude, running fast, the winner, makes a big sale, overdoes it, has hot bully opinions, is horny! If you keep your priority on your project, you can get a lot done in a short time! Super Sagittarian lucky Mars propels us into greater leadership, excited and exonerated as the revelations pour forth! Mars is first to see, prone to instant action! The joy of discovery wakes us up, being on new ground is a hope and a healing! First time experimenting may need a little adjusting, but we can see the burst of light in every step and handshake! The strides are getting longer, covering more ground in less time!Neptune is glad for Mars to come along and take up the cause as well, but he was still sleeping and Mars gleefully shouts wakie, wakie! Neptune is muttering under his breath. But Neptune is ever adjustable and they, he, Mercury and Mars, get to talking. With Mars you don’t want to miss a moment when he’s on! He’s quick and gone, next! If you are ready with the next set of requests and directions, he doesn’t delay! Your whole day is a half a day for him! Be ready to roll. He will be back for more!

Neptune, especially in his own sign Pisces, loves a wild yarn, and can sometimes outdo the mystery of it all, can make it soulful and profound, bring you to tears, to complete silence as the story takes you in. Pisces wants saviors, while Sag brings adventurous heroes. Each has a way with what is important, even in fun or spirituality, sometimes with ambiguity that makes you crazy and you think for days!

Neptune is noted for confusion, the mystical, incomprehensible, sorrow and addictions. Mercury in Sagittarius is a heart warming communicator, will help you cleverly escape or take you home when all was thought to be lost. One way or the other, your mind is expanded, with new opinions or ways of thinking, or not thinking at all if you are meditating! Being ‘confused’ allows all sorts of options to be explored as you seek answers. It’s actually a profound state of mind. It teaches us to let go, give up fear of the unknown, accept what doesn’t make sense, consider amazing possibilities, develop Faith and Hope, Trust when you don’t know your next step. Your heart opens.

Neptune in his own sign is remarkable! Imagination, worries, consequences, longed for accomplishments come to be. Telling the stories of the gathering of clues, the templates of progress, the supreme focus of attention step by step, sharing the immense accumulated data bank, are all part of the enormous success that may have taken many lifetimes. Neptune guides through the images of the Dreamtime.

2) Neptune at 25 Pisces sextiles Pluto at 29 Capricorn! This combo is important for two reasons! The sextile has been afoot since 1942, and Pluto reenters Aquarius Jan 20!

Neptune sextile Pluto 82 years!

Neptune and Pluto know each other well. From 1900 through 2032, there is only one aspect made between Neptune and Pluto! It came within effective range in the midst of World War II during 1942. Neptune sextile Pluto has a profound and exotic history! Jamie Partridge refers to it as an ‘inter-generational’ planetary aspect lasting from 1950 to 2032! In those years there are 49 exact aspects over three to four generations! Both planets have changed signs multiple times in that period. At this part of their orbits they have been traveling at speeds that have allowed them to keep the sextile aspect for 82 years! Though their last exact sextile was June 9, 1986, they have stayed in sextile, sometimes closer, sometimes further apart, until now! July 24 to Sep 15, 2026 they start exact aspects again! They make 13 additional exact aspects in this period completing the 82 years! Chart factors you have in or very close to those degrees will tap you into this sequence.

As planets travel for long times together, they become more like each other. Neptune and Pluto are both water planets (Pisces and Scorpio) and both have to do with transformation. Pluto transforms our bodies from the Kundalini up. Neptune transforms our Spirit. Pluto goes deep to cure the cause. Neptune pulls us to believe in the unseeable, our dreams. Neptune calls Pluto to compassion. Pluto says face the facts. There is the physical doctor and if the patient doesn’t believe, they can die no matter how great the Dr is. If there is no great Dr, the patient may die no matter what he believes. Truly, we need these two to work together. We/they, have been getting better at it!

This connection is more significant now because March 23, 2023 Pluto first entered Aquarius, a 246 year event! Now through 2044, 21 years, there will be significant world changes. ’26 to ’32 the remaining 13 exact sextiles with Neptune happen while Neptune is in Aries, Pluto in Aquarius. Please continue to strengthen our Aquarian and Uranian people, those factors in your own charts!

Pluto is back in Capricorn until Jan 20, 2024. See more about this period of the 246 year Capricorn-Aquarius transition. There is great strength in hard won, tried and true knowledge. On that foundation Aquarian r/evolution makes more useful solid advances, securely implemented, maintained by the timeless high standards Capricorn has stood for. Capricorn is the sign of time and knows instinctively when a shift is in progress. Ruling borders and boundaries, he is a Gateway specialist! He is a mentor, always guiding and guarding the newbies. Pluto in Capricorn Aquarius is at the cutting edge, on totally new ground and can use all the help he can get. Many Aquarians have their Mercurys in Capricorn and many Capricorns have their Mercurys in Aquarius! They live this transition all their lives. They will be there for us. While the rest of us are scrambling, it’s business as usual for them.

Venus in Scorpio is secretly sweetening this mix right now! She trines Neptune Dec 25, Christmas morning! Take some special time for personal pleasures starting with breakfast in bed and a possible food fight, LOL! Open prezzies early! Family breakfast! Some fine treasures will be shared along with love and healing. Financial and spiritual blessings are both in the mix. They will continue to blossom through Venus’s sextile Pluto, Scorpio’s planet, the evening of Dec 28. Remember, Mercury is retrograde through the 1st, wait at least 4 days after that. If you want to partner or invest and you are still interested by then, it could be a remarkable deal. Check with your astrologer(s) to see how it does or doesn’t connect with your chart!

_______________________

Chiron is ‘sitting’ at EXACT retrograde station TODAY 15 Aries 27. I say sitting, but Aries barely sits. He’s got things to do, now, LOL! Chiron is considering his options, feeling them to the core to see how they sit with him, focusing. Chiron is near the North Node, but they are both moving slowly and won’t conjunct until Feb 19, 2024. So as it is now, Chiron will be honing his skills for fast delivery of new types of healing. There will be an educational period, trial and error, provings. There may be a specific specialty concerning him now.Uranus in Taurus is one of the 3 outer higher consciousness planets!  These planets draw us past our daily experience. We are encountering great principles working together. Uranus is humanitarian, the Awakener, r/evolutionist. Taurus wants earthy beauty, looking for organic values, land, quality food, ores and minerals, safe habitats for animals. He wants to build dependable extensive networks whether an apartment building, a class action suit, or human rights. Uranus rules electronics, flight, the coming robotics. When Pluto is in Aquarius, Uranus’s sign, the two are combined as one, unimaginable electric life force! Immense possibilities. Pluto awakens the Kundalini, the fire at the base of the spine, burns away the dross, aligns the chakras and we are ON!

Jupiter in Taurus, still retrograde, will turn forward Dec 30. A lengthy one degree station will be Dec 6 through Jan 24, 2024. Those of you with chart factors at or very close to 5 and 6 degrees will be activated. In that time, some deeper principles will take root with you, securing a strong foundation, worthy of your continued care as they develop further.

Lucky Jupiter will be coming forward to conjunct Uranus April 20, 2024! WOW! That will be some experience! Do be thinking on what you would like to see happen by then, be preparing for it even now. Allow your mind to sweep the environment, to expand what you aspire to. Jupiter is lucky for Earth, expands earth events, education, perspectives of long term value.

Yes, we have seen huge earth events, some not seeming so lucky, but in the long term we will do better with these kinds of events as we plan ahead to use them rather than suffer destruction. One of the things we can do is manage our food production choices in context of coming weather. Another is to mitigate temperature changes. Save our water. Jupiter rules heat! See more: 2023-24 Aspects and other Sign Changes! See more about the approaching April 2024 Jupiter conjunct Uranus! This aspect alone will jump us a few light years ahead!

Thursday Dec 11, 3:57 AM Pacific at 20 Capricorn 44!

Education, working the changes it brings, will be a big payoff! Positive Karma, pure Magic!

Capricorn is an absolutely magnificent sign representing the sand, rocks, stones and the super gems of the world! It can be frozen high altitudes, graceful alluvial desert fans at their feet, rocky islands with vertical cliffs and beautiful sandy beaches, exquisite white dunes like at White Sands NM.

10 days before Pluto reenters Aquarius we are treated by this fine and powerful Capricorn New Moon! It is getting the last touch in, takes us into a deep winter night to find pure purpose, our part of the sign change. With a four planet Capricorn stellium, it will solidify four facets of Capricorn that Pluto has been fortifying in Capricorn that Aquarius may stand strong and rely on. Mars, Moon, Sun and Pluto himself.

The Dec 27 Full Cold Moon was the first full moon of the 2023-2024 winter season, the first full moon after the winter solstice. For many, Winter Solstice is considered to be the astronomical New Year. This New Moon is the first lunar event of calendar 2024! Mercury is no longer retrograde.

Unusual planetary order! The five inner, personal planets are all before Pluto, in only two signs, Sagittarius and Capricorn. The last planet in Capricorn is Pluto still in Capricorn. He and the rest of the planets, the outer ‘higher’ consciousness planets of the collective, follow – Saturn, Neptune, Chiron, Jupiter and Uranus. They span Capricorn to Taurus, two in Pisces, two in Taurus.

All of them are in a Bowl configuration spanning Sagittarius through Taurus. Bowls are clever collectors, assimilating their finds to greater purpose. When full there is a great sharing, an outpouring of their abundance! This can vary per your location around the world. A bowl at the top of the chart may act as a shelter, protector, set a perimeter. When at the sides of the chart it may be a deflector – the wind blows by, a protector, or act as a sail and push along through obstacles, join with others going their way. See more about Bowl Charts!

Venus, riding along in Sagittarius, is the base planet. She is leaving a pathway of flower petals for other pilgrims to follow. Her love keeps the tribe going, reminds them of their blessed purpose. They won’t fail. If they need to, everyone pauses and takes a break, has snacks, plays games and sings songs, both funny and inspirational! Spirits are raised and they lift their eyes to the future!

Lead planet Uranus in Taurus is steady in the Light – sunrise, sunset, starlight patterns guiding through the night. They trust him, following to some strange places, sacred ground. He has special impressive powers of lightning in a storm. They SEE the planet before them, sometimes walking barefoot, they come to an honorable union. Taurus can be a fearless unvanquished steamroller, plowing through obstacles, both mind and matter. Or they can be as gentle as petting the fur on your favorite kitten. They walk the Path with kindness, helping with simple tips, uniting neighboring peoples in a chain of gold. Uranus is the electronic planet forming a network that covers the planet like a blanket of evolutional changes of thinking. The remaining flailing strands see the possibilities and are gathered in. It’s more than education, it’s connection! Change is happening at a remarkable pace, with every breath we take.

All the planets in this chart are in three sets by degrees. Something for everyone!

  1. Mid degrees are emphasized starting with the base planet Venus 15 Sag, the New Moon at 20 Capricorn, Chiron and the North Node at 15 and 20 Aries, with Uranus, the Aquarian lead planet finishing at 19 Taurus. Venus and Uranus are specially linked because Taurus is Venus’s first sign. That’s FIVE planets and the North Node!
  2. Mars, Saturn and Jupiter are in an early degree threesome at 5, 4 and 5! They are strongly connected by close degrees: Mars in Capricorn, Saturn in Pisces and Jupiter in Taurus, harmonious earth and water signs.
  3. Neptune and Pluto stand in their late degrees 25 and 29 in their ongoing 82 year sextile. Mercury stands with them at 27 Sagittarius.

Capricorn is emphasized since all the planets in the 4 planet Capricorn New Moon stellium are linked to all three sets!

The aspects, the connections between the planets are unusual too. Since all the inner planets are in only two signs, the only major aspect that can be formed, is a conjunction. The Sun and Moon as New Moon are that and that’s it!

Other than that, the inner planets are all now making upcoming great connections with the outer planets.

Venus trines Chiron same degree, and North Node
Mercury did square Neptune the third/last time Jan 8.
Mars actively sextiles Saturn, trines Jupiter
Moon and Sun are sextile Neptune. They just passed the square the North Node and trine with Uranus!

The only outer planet aspect to each other is the 82 year Neptune in sextile Pluto.

_________________

Mid Degrees!

The New Moon has strong influence due to being the only planet to planet conjunction, and is multiply aspected with Venus, Neptune, Chiron and the North Node, and Uranus the planet of Aquarius! The New Moon in Capricorn is strongly inclined to be the boss. Mama Moon takes responsibility, is a take charge type, doesn’t matter who or how old you are! She is a pro in business, often owns her own at a young age, and raises the kids, plus taking care of the elders! Fast foods may be a necessity. She can be frugal or be a successful real estate broker, gemologist, work with the law or the DA, be in sciences/research. She is particular about her choice of mate and associates. Father may be a detriment or a fine mentor who loves her a lot. Young Caps get stronger as they get older!

Father Sun in Capricorn is a powerful leader! He holds the Light, has integrity. Sometimes he will not compromise and that may work or not. He works hard and often long hours, has grit and won’t give up. Someone needs to lock him out of the office from time to time, LOL. Burnout is no fun. Being on time means a lot to him. He is generally a dedicated parent, takes time for sports with his kids. Hiking, climbing may be favorites. They enjoy working hard and have strong endurance. Just remember not all the kids will have the same ability! Sun in Capricorn does demand excellence, which can be inspiring. They make terrific mentors, understand when you are not at your best. They are known for long careers and don’t quit even when they retire!

Cancer and Capricorn are deeply bonded by natural instinct. Traditionally Mother Cancer Moon is home and family, care and feeding. Father Capricorn is shelter provider, protector, earns the money, builds the business. She nurtures him, softens his sharp moments, encourages him in hard times. He has such pride in her, is grateful for the comfortable home she makes, helps her when he can. In astrology their signs are the prime vertical axis representing home, cultural beliefs, and being out in the world at large in one’s own community.

Venus, Chiron, North Node! Capricorn’s New Moon’s closest connection is square with Moon’s North Node at 20 Aries! That’s a challenge because the North Node is working for independence and Capricorn needs to have control. Right. Aries was born to rebel and you better prove to him why you should rule, or forget it. He’s fearless and threats of any kind won’t help or be minded. He can outrun you. Capricorn is confronted by some basics. Should he waste time with this interloper or work out some agreements because this wild creature is creative, has terrific ideas, works well with no supervision and is super productive! Ok, and Capricorn is offering work and it’s a sincere project Aries can get behind. So let Aries do it his way, and let Capricorn periodically check in to make sure things are going as planned, to see if Aries needs any tools or materials. Give each other high praise, but don’t carry on and on. Got it?!

Venus in Sagittarius She is helping. She is now in a same degree trine with Chiron in Aries, who is with the Node! blessing the speed that he is operating at, getting new healing techniques and remedies, doing the research promptly! Chiron is always happy to connect with her. In Sag, she wants to carry the messages out into the world, educate us all to the perspectives of Chiron’s medicines, changes he inaugurates. She may bring him some funding that makes the difference! The North Node’s general motion is always retrograde, so will be connecting with them both. The NN in Aries is always looking to the find the best new ways to start new ventures. There will be fruitful encounters.

Part of the importance of Node events is they are trying to balance the opposite signs. The Libra-Aries axis is learning to be able to be independent, a leader, AND work together, each contributing their own strengths. Moon’s Nodes are considered to be somewhat karmic, to connect concepts of mistakes of the past/past lives with making amendments balanced by the opposite principles of the opposite sign, of current times. It is not always easy within ourselves, because the soul has its memories, and we, and others involved, have fears, angers and perversions, chronic behaviors that need to be faced and overcome. Do have patience with each other and yourself. Though you may be ready to make good, the other may not be able to receive your offering yet, and vice versa.

Chiron is fast at 15 Aries, no longer retrograde he’s even faster! Fresh and new, the latest, remedies are being delivered. He gives you the information on how to use them, but jot it down quickly and ask your questions because he’s already gone on to the next client/patient! He’s racing against time because so many critical things are happening. We must be well to contribute our part. He’s a rights fighter for a strong mind and body to represent our Spirit/Soul. Chiron is ready for Initiation, exploration, quick learning! He goes places no one has gone before. Courage is impressive. Stand tall! Independence, thinking for yourself, quickly tracking reality, is a strong plus!

The New Moon has passed Venus, Chiron/North Node, and is just past Uranus by one degree. Moon and Sun have been in a favorable trine friendship with Uranus the Aquarian planet. All of them are in earth signs, looking for simple and practical timely fixes for what ails the planet. They are all supportive to Pluto going into Aquarius on the 20th. Capricorn is the sign preceding Aquarius, so understands the gravity of Pluto’s shift, the necessity of strengthening the channel between the two signs. New friends, networks are being established. Changes in science and research are being tried and updated, smoothed. Business is taking on new tones on how it works. Relationships are shifting in their reasons to be formed.  Stay informed!

Early degrees 5, 4 and 5, threesome! 

Saturn, Capricorn’s planet is emphasized by being the midpoint between Mars in Capricorn and Jupiter in Taurus. They have sextiled Saturn, opportunities of mixed element signs. He collects information from both of them, synthesizes, sends the new plans back to each of them. He’s the architect and changes certain deadlines. Mars and Jupiter, two fire planets are happily trine each other, occasionally plot a rebellion against the master who is much too slow and sometimes too etheric for them, LOL! Yet Mars in Capricorn is quite more careful than usual, and Jupiter in Taurus doesn’t realize how slower and more relaxed he is now. He is more patient and thinks to the root. I’m not worried. Capricorn is often to the point quickly while Jupiter in Taurus sees a longer vision and shows how the step by step process becomes more valuable and worth the careful work. They will work it out. Their work may be more important than many now realize.

More about Jupiter! In Taurus Jupiter is strong as a Bull, an oxen, a fabulous draft horse! They are good natured, steady, capable. Jupiter has faith and confidence that carries him through long term projects, to meaningful successes. Taurus is no quitter. Just don’t get in their way! Jupiter is well partnered with Taurus. Taurus is not afraid of hard work, is loyal and dedicated. Jupiter is a strong student and teacher looking for perspective and a useful broader truth. Taurus would rather stay home, but will take Jupiter on his back cross country, the tractor to the remote area needing checking on, or on the train overland far away. He sees through Jupiter’s big wide eyes and changes some of his opinions. Taurus has such patience and common sense that Jupiter can calm down, take the time it takes, and feel safe right where he stands. No need to run away. If the two of them together get too stubborn for words, it may take a powerful event to get them to shake it off, let go, consider other possibilities. Just show them how it is better, especially the consequences and losses if not taken advantage of. Be ready to prove your point. If Taurus looks at you sideways, you know you still have some work to do.

Jupiter in Taurus is coming forward to conjunct Uranus April 20, 2024! WOW! That will be some experience! Do be thinking on what you would like to see happen by then, be preparing for it even now. Allow your mind to sweep the environment, to expand what you aspire to. Jupiter will turn forward Dec 30. A lengthy one degree station will be Dec 6 through Jan 24, 2024. Those of you with chart factors at or very close to 5 and 6 degrees will be activated. In that time, some deeper principles will take root with you, securing a strong foundation, worthy of your continued care as they develop further. Jupiter is lucky for Earth, expands earth events, education, perspectives of long term value. Yes, we have seen huge earth events, some not seeming so lucky, but in the long term we will do better with these kinds of events as we plan ahead to use them rather than suffer destruction. One of the things we can do is manage our food production choices in context of coming weather. Another is to mitigate temperature changes. Jupiter rules heat! Save our water. See more: 2023-24 Aspects and other Sign Changes! Immense possibilities are coming! See more about Jupiter conjunct Uranus! This aspect alone will jump us a few light years ahead!

More about Saturn! Saturn is reviewing the very foundation of Pisces to be sure Pisces is weathering the storms, able to stand true to his karmic and dharmic intentions. Saturn knows how to help when there are disenchantments, remediation needed after disasters. He knows how to walk you back to the organic bedrock of the Soul and connect you with others who are dedicated and will shelter you when you need it. Saturn has had a few tough times of his own. He has learned his building skills by experience and is efficient, often wise. Pisces enjoys wandering, but there are times we need him to be present and realistically leading our Spirits. Saturn reminds him of his priorities. Pisces has lived the aeons, but there are timely concerns as significant changes like Pluto into Aquarius happen.

I see Saturn as harnessing the insights and psychic ability of Pisces, the ability to understand something that was unknown, develop a personal form of Spirituality that brings you to your knees and exhilarates your Soul!  At the earth level we have seen swarms of floods and powerful water events. I want to see ways for Saturn to harvest water significantly, to help take care of our oceans, reduce plastic and poisonous pollution, to harvest safely without harming other fish, dolphins and whales, to harvest cleanly and more abundantly. See more!

♦♦ Not only do we have New Moon and two other planets in Capricorn, but Saturn, Capricorn’s planet, is standing tall and productively at Midpoint, an empowering position, between Mars and Jupiter!

Late Degrees! Neptune sextile Pluto 82 years, Mercury with them!

Neptune and Pluto know each other well. From 1900 through 2032, there is only one aspect made between Neptune and Pluto! It came within effective range in the midst of World War II during 1942. Neptune sextile Pluto has a profound and exotic history! Jamie Partridge refers to it as an ‘inter-generational’ planetary aspect lasting from 1950 to 2032! In those years there are 49 exact aspects over three to four generations! Both planets have changed signs multiple times in that period. At this part of their orbits they have been traveling at speeds that have allowed them to keep the sextile aspect for 82 years! Though their last exact sextile was June 9, 1986, they have stayed in sextile, sometimes closer, sometimes further apart, until now! July 24 to Sep 15, 2026 they start exact aspects again! They make 13 additional exact aspects in this period completing the 82 years! Chart factors you have in or very close to those degrees will tap you into this sequence.

As planets travel for long times together, they become more like each other. Neptune and Pluto are both water planets (Pisces and Scorpio) and both have to do with transformation. Pluto transforms our bodies from the Kundalini up. Neptune transforms our Spirit. Pluto goes deep to cure the cause. Neptune pulls us to believe in the unseeable, our dreams. Neptune calls Pluto to compassion. Pluto says face the facts. There is the physical doctor and if the patient doesn’t believe, they can die no matter how great the Dr is. If there is no great Dr, the patient may die no matter what he believes. Truly, we need these two to work together. We/they, have been getting better at it!

Mercury currently with them squared Neptune Jan 8, a mere moment compared to 82 years! But this was the third time Mercury was present at these three last lunar events, both of the two previous times with the Full Moons on the same day! There is a carryover of these two ‘opposite’ planets. Mercury rules Virgo, the sign opposite Neptune’s sign Pisces which Neptune is now in! There are some details Mercury wants to be included, adjusted by Neptune’s spiritual insight. It will be a mini breakthrough, but clears the way to keep things on track. Mercury currently in Sagittarius is doing something like a blowup, maybe an exaggeration to get the attention it needs. There is an adjustment needed in the plan and direction it is taking. Take another look, see what’s missing.

2023 Capricorn Triple One New Moon!

1.11 Triple Ones!

New possibilities are on the way! One stands independently, often alone and likes it, no interference or delays. As a leader, they get things done and followers support them. Some would say they have courage, but they would say it was nothing – to them it is simply natural. It does take personal strength to be alert, to accurately read your surroundings and respond appropriately. It takes a bit of physical strength at times to take care of business.

Life is about to take a turn! Time to let go and move on. Spiritual awakenings are afoot. Initiation. One is new beginnings, fresh and free! Follow your heart. Be mindful of your higher purpose; be with people who support your Path. Time to take action!

Double Ones, Eleven, are called a Master Number, double power! There is possibly dual leadership potential or two possibilities side by side. Some say it represents alignment with your spiritual guides, the Angels! Erica Jensen says: ‘11 angel number symbolizes the discovery of your true calling in life, the realization of the spiritual realm, and letting go of negative thought patterns that are preventing you from attaining your objectives. Taking responsibility for our lives and learning how to let go of fear (along with other negative emotions) are two key ways in which this special number might improve your life.’

Blessed be. Follow your own intuition and insights. Stay true.

Education, working the changes it brings, will be a big payoff! Positive Karma, pure Magic!

Nov 27 Gemini-Sagittarius Full Beaver Moon!


.

Nov 27 Gemini-Sagittarius Full Beaver Moon!

Monday Nov 27 at 1:16 AM Pacific at 4 Gemini-Sagittarius 51!

Saturn at ZERO Pisces, the last sign of the zodiac, holds the prime wisdom position, strengthens the whole chart, brings breakthroughs! Blessings and safe travels! With deep gratitude for your dear Care and LOVE always.


.

Sagittarius rules horses and big dogs! But their Full Moon is called the Beaver Moon! Beavers are nocturnal hard workers, start living in their underwater nests this time of year and cold weather causes their pelts to be thick and luxurious! In these times of climate shifts, droughts, they are now known to be a KEYSTONE species, a unique organism that supports the entire biological community! If they are gone, the habitat is gone. MORE!  Beaver Medicine Wonderful diagram at East Multnomah Soil & Water Conservation District by artist Jon Wagner

The next two Full Moons and the first Lunar Event, New Moon of 2024, are linked with Mercury square Neptune!

Nov 27‘s Gemini-Sagittarius Full Moon is with Mercury in Sagittarius square Neptune the first time. The second square of the Two Sign Sagittarius-Capricorn Mercury Retrograde is with Dec 26‘s day after Christmas Cancer-Capricorn Full Moon! The final square of the 3 part Mercury Rx cycle is Jan 8, 2024 three days before the Jan 11 New Moon, the first lunar event of 2024!

Mercury is in Sagittarius now, enters Capricorn Dec 1. At the full Moon time, Mercury and Neptune are exactly square, both at 24° of their signs. Mercury often tinkers with trivial bits of information, but in Sagittarius the sign opposite Gemini (where our Moon is), the tendency leans to profound! Sag is always looking for perspective, the long view, where we’re going and why? It’s not just the Mercurial facts, but what they mean together. Sag tends to emphasize, make it bigger than life! They like to play and tell stories! Neptune, especially in its own sign Pisces, loves a wild yarn, and can sometimes outdo the mystery of it all, can make it soulful and profound, bring you to tears, to complete silence as the story takes you in. Pisces wants saviors, while Sag brings adventurous heroes. Each has a way with what is important, even in fun or spirituality, sometimes with ambiguity that makes you think for days!

Neptune is noted for confusion, the mystical, incomprehensible. Mercury in Sagittarius will help you cleverly escape or take you home when all was thought to be lost. One way or the other, your mind is expanded, with new opinions or ways of thinking, or not thinking at all if you are meditating! Being ‘confused’ allows all sorts of options to be explored as you seek answers. It’s actually a profound state of mind. It teaches us to let go, give up fear of the unknown, accept what doesn’t make sense, consider amazing possibilities, develop Faith and Hope, Trust when you don’t know your next step. Your heart opens.

This holds strong importance for our Full Moon, since Mother Moon is in Gemini, Mercury’s first sign. She has just squared Saturn in Pisces, Pisces being Neptune’s Sign! Imagination, worries, consequences, longed for accomplishments come to be. Telling the stories of the gathering of clues, the templates of progress, the supreme focus of attention step by step, sharing the immense data back accumulated are all part of the enormous success that may have taken many years. Moon’s hoarding instinct is part of her talent, her photographic memory, can return to the source, update, and Gemini weaves the new bits into strong blankets of knowledge easily accessed, quick to be followed. Suddenly so much makes sense!

This foundation gives Sagittarius the command, the skilled delivery of boundless information. Each set begets the next. It is a living momentum that creates itself as it goes! Sun has just crossed Mars and is super propelled, into greater leadership, excited and exonerated as the revelations pour forth! Mars is first to see, prone to instant action! The joy of discovery wakes us up, being on new ground is a hope and a healing! First time experimenting may need a little adjusting, but we can see the burst of light in every step and handshake! The strides are getting longer, covering more ground in less time!

In the old astrological words, Gemini is Mind and Sagittarius is the Path, the purpose, the meaning of those words. We find that Gemini is motivated by the purpose, and the purpose is based on the strength and quality of the data furnished by Gemini. Gemini is the more local neighborhood, siblings connections while Sagittarius is the Traveler, Professor, Philosopher/Religious Guide who takes us out into the world, connects entire arenas, shows us there is more, much more! Gemini teaches us how to learn. Sag teaches us how to think. The quality of the connections we make are essential to growth. Given the right input by Gemini, Sagittarius becomes the sign of Abundance!

All three, Moon, Mars and Sun, have passed by Saturn TSquare at midpoint between them! Saturn in Pisces has been extracting all he can from the Dreamtime, focusing it, establishing its authenticity, reality, making it accessible to our daily work and spiritual work as well. I see Saturn as harvesting the insights and psychic ability of Pisces, the ability to understand something that was unknown, develop a personal form of Spirituality that brings you to your knees and exhilarates your Soul! He is now giving equal distribution of Pisces wisdoms to both sides of the Lunar axis!

At the earth level we have seen swarms of floods and powerful water events. I want to see ways for Saturn to harvest water significantly, to help take care of our oceans, reduce plastic and poisonous pollution, to harvest safely without harming other fish, dolphins and whales, to harvest cleanly and more abundantly. See more!

Saturn has challenged Moon in Gemini to see the greater elements of what he finds, the significance as Pisces would. Gemini’s repertoire is more useful than ever as more fractions are united and brought to bear. Saturn is shaving off some of Sun in Sagittarius’s devil-may-care way of presenting and calling him to add the importance of timeliness. Exaggerations, while fun and entertaining, may blur the mark. Some thoughts may be followed up with a little science that brings us to how soon can we do what?! Saturn in Pisces may have an even longer vision than Jupiter! What?! Yes! Pisces is a Soul sign, Saturn has an Elder/Mentor quality that makes him quite credible. He has a passion for important work and the pride of getting it done. The three plus Saturn in T Square with them, may be the time to have a gathering after ThanksGiving and plan for 2024’s possibilities! Mars may have been in bad temper while Saturn held him back asking Mars to tread more carefully, look before he leaps, but Mars will be happy starting productive new projects managed by a determined expert! Saturn recognizes his good intentions and courage to face difficulties squarely. They can get it done.

To add a little spice to the mixture, Mercury trined Chiron in Aries the 20th, and yesterday trined the North Node in Aries. Time to back to basics and new beginnings! He wants to spread the word of new healing and business techniques as well as how to start better relationships with really independent personalities, leaders spearheading new projects! The North Node is kicking the odds, leaving old ways behind, choosing new heroes! Mercury in Sag has fun traveling to new places in life. The dimensions shift right in front of your eyes!

Jupiter will be consulted soon as Moon will be semi sextile him in just hours; Sun will inconjunct in two days, already feeling their connection too. Jupiter is sitting in Taurus, the sign of patience and perseverance. Jupiter is a teacher and perspective seeker, looking for the best ways to take care of Mama Earth and her people. Mother Moon is in special harmony with that, looking for safe sustainable living, for her family, children and neighbors. She wants meaningful information. Sun in Sagittarius wants to know where. Jupiter is Sagittarius’s planet, so they have a strong rapport. He wants more than comfortable living, but where they can thrive and prosper in an area where the people are like minded, in strong community with each other, with top educational opportunities available.

Jupiter in Taurus is still retrograde, but will be coming forward to conjunct Uranus April 20, 2024! WOW! That will be some experience! Do be thinking on what you would like to see happen by then, be preparing for it even now. Allow your mind to sweep the environment, to expand what you aspire to. Jupiter will turn forward Dec 30. A lengthy one degree station will be Dec 6 through Jan 24, 2024. Those of you with chart factors at or very close to 5 and 6 degrees will be activated. In that time, some deeper principles will take root with you, securing a strong foundation, worthy of your continued care as they develop further. Jupiter is lucky for Earth, expands earth events, education, perspectives of long term value. Yes, we have seen huge earth events, some not seeming so lucky, but in the long term we will do better with these kinds of events as we plan ahead to use them rather than suffer destruction. One of the things we can do is manage our food production choices in context of coming weather. Another is to mitigate temperature changes. Jupiter rules heat! See more: 2023-24 Aspects and other Sign Changes!

Uranus is in the 3 outer planets higher consciousness sequence! Venus in her own second sign Libra has just inconjuncted Uranus in Taurus, Venus’s first sign! Taurus wants earthy beauty, while Libra is looking for people beauty and the blessing of their connections. Libra has the ability to see intrinsic beauty, while Taurus is looking for organic values, land, quality food, ores and minerals, animals. Venus knows how to negotiate in Libra, deal with legalities. Uranus is looking for extensive networks whether an apartment building, a class action suit, or human rights. She has recently advised Uranus on the latest partnerships of significance, personal or political. Uranus rules electronics, flight. He advised her on the best gear on the market, about coming robotics.

Venus will be inconjunct Neptune next, Nov 30. After Mercury square Neptune, this will be more soothing. Venus in her own sign Libra may look at possible liability matters that came up. She knows what to do, or can help you find good solutions with people in the know. Doubts may have come up. Venus has some ideas to help balance your fears. Take a look at her ideas. She may lead you off in an unexpected direction that gives perspectives that are worth the exploration.

Pluto is back in Capricorn until Jan 20, 2024. See more about this period of the 246 year Capricorn-Aquarius transition. There is great strength in hard won, tried and true knowledge. On that foundation Aquarian r/evolution makes more useful solid advances, securely implemented, maintained by the timeless high standards Capricorn has stood for. Capricorn is the sign of time and knows instinctively when a shift is in progress. Ruling borders and boundaries, he is a Gateway specialist! He is a mentor, always guiding and guarding the newbies. Aquarius is at the cutting edge, on totally new ground and can use all the help he can get. Many Aquarians have their Mercurys in Capricorn and many Capricorns have their Mercurys in Aquarius! They live this transition all their lives. They will be there for us. While the rest of us are scrambling, it’s business as usual for them.

___________________

The three outmost higher consciousness planets, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto, are still in their sextiles/trine pattern. Many events are making world headlines. They are taking it to the next level, meaning these are considered higher consciousness planets! This combination of the three outmost planets aspecting each other this way is quite rare and will continue through 2028.

They are sextiling – opportunities – each other and Uranus in Taurus has moved into trine with Pluto while Pluto is retrograde back in fellow earth sign Capricorn. Jupiter is closer to his conjunction with Uranus, and many are already sensing the amazing possibilities. But for now, Jupiter is in station about to retrograde. They will be exact April 2024. The threesome is holding in earth and water signs until Pluto makes his shift back into Aquarius again Jan 2024. That will leave Uranus and Neptune keeping the dream electric and lively! Neptune evolves just like all the planets do. With Uranus, even Neptune develops a new level of awareness. At first it may seem a bit prickly, but as he gets used to it, it’s more sparkly! In fact, it’s all quite intriguing.

When she first heard about these three together, a friend said OMG, that sounds destabilizing and slightly terrifying! And it can be, depending on your point of view and climate changes. Sometimes destabilizing can be a chosen technique, done on purpose in a good way, like the demolition of an old dangerous building. At the same time space is made to accommodate opening the good gates of the future, an amazing rebuild, making a park, a hospital, library, low income senior housing. With climate disasters, entire areas are devastated. Yet even during anger and grief, there is the seeing of a significant, even profound, choice of rebirth of much better ways. In time, surprisingly, the whole experience brings gratitude. As Rumi says: “Earth turns to Gold in the hands of the Wise.” Here is our big chance to make it so!

Uranus sextile Neptune

Uranus has been within a 5° sextile with Neptune since July ’23, and will be for five months through Dec 16, 2023! Uranus is the last Air planet, the planet of the heavens, flight and electronics – the internet and networking. The Awakener has humanitarian inclinations and collective intent. There is maximum exchange of information, extraordinary invention, as genius is released planet wide! He changes, adds dimension to Neptune’s way of seeing and content of his visions! That Uranus is grounded in Taurus, he keeps the intentions sensible and steady. Things may not be so ‘loud.’ More gets done since undistracted energy is concentrated, applied right where needed, and doesn’t quit until completed.

Neptune, the most adaptable planet, quickly takes on the Uranian continuum of skills, adeptly commingles it with his own psychic seeing! He gives remarkable tips that bypass super logic and gets us there without explanation. Astonishing as always was and will be! There are leaps beyond our ken, but we arrive, suddenly transported, functioning in a way we didn’t know before, but is right as rain. It seems like a miracle, but is really normal. In the face of disasters, Neptune has unexpected resilience, shows the strength of the Soul. Healing knows no bounds.

At times we get lost in the glory and excitement of such transitions. We get enamored with the genius of it all. But Neptune reminds us it’s not just what we can do but the meaning of it all. We take a few still moments to honor our original inspiration, the commandments of our Soul, the depth of caring, need for change that started our pilgrimage.

After Dec 16, 2023 they again pick up their less than 5° sextile June 14, 2024 through Feb 13, 2025! This second set is eight months, making a total of 13 months! Neptune again leaves Uranus behind, entering ARIES Mar 30, 2025, never making the exact sextile while Neptune is in Pisces! Yet all that time, they are functioning together, progressively activating 19 through 28 degree factors in our charts! They are awakening us, establishing a foundation, setting the stage for the exact aspect sets to come.

Aug 28, 2025 they start their two year set of EXACT sextiles. It is the first of five aspects but in Gemini and Aries! See more!

With the outmost planets, this pattern of coming close then moving apart is normal. It gives time to get to know each other in context of the type of aspect and the signs they are in. The can see how to protect themselves if necessary, how to help each other as possible.

Uranus trine Pluto

Uranus trine Pluto are also in a pre exact aspects prelude period. Currently, since Uranus is sextile Neptune, and Neptune is sextile Pluto, Uranus is trine Pluto though technically not quite within the 5° or less zone. Since around the end of July, or earlier, Uranus and Pluto have been considering each other. Uranus slows to his stand still station Aug 28. Pluto is retrograding getting closer by degree with Uranus. They get closest Sep 10/11 then gradually part further. But once aware of each other, they can still watch…plus Neptune, between them, has his eye on both and they are both watching Neptune. It’s a bit intricate and it isn’t done yet.

There are two more close periods, seeding and getting used to the connection. They don’t make the first EXACT trine until July 17, 2026, while Pluto is in Aquarius, Uranus in Gemini! Like Uranus sextile Neptune, this too is a 5 time set of aspects and takes two years to complete on May 9, 2028.

While Neptune is midpoint between them he can act as a buffer. Pluto in Capricorn is set in some of his ways. Uranus is the planet of change and evolution while Capricorn is the guardian of the status quo, elders. Pluto doesn’t want anyone messing with his relationships, especially with money. But, they are nevertheless, trine, likely to find ways to work with each other. Uranus in Taurus is more sensible, but certainly not the same. His advocacy for individual’ rights includes money, but from the opposite side of the table. Pluto is corporate money, the ruler of Scorpio, OUR money. Taurus is MY money. It will take a little doing to bridge this difference. Both are strong and both can be stubborn. Since Neptune in Pisces is known for his empathy and understanding, his long bond with Pluto, he may lean a bit more to Pluto’s side – the fundraiser side.

Neptune sextile Pluto 82 years!

Neptune and Pluto know each other well. From 1900 through 2032, there is only one aspect made between Neptune and Pluto! It came within effective range in the midst of World War II during 1942. Neptune sextile Pluto has a profound and exotic history! Jamie Partridge refers to it as an ‘inter-generational’ planetary aspect lasting from 1950 to 2032! In those years there are 49 exact aspects over three to four generations! Both planets have changed signs multiple times in that period. At this part of their orbits they have been traveling at speeds that have allowed them to keep the sextile aspect for 82 years! Though their last exact sextile was June 9, 1986, they have stayed in sextile, sometimes closer, sometimes further apart, until now! July 24 to Sep 15, 2026 they start exact aspects again! They make 13 additional exact aspects in this period completing the 82 years! Chart factors you have in or very close to those degrees will tap you into this sequence.

As planets travel for long times together, they become more like each other. Neptune and Pluto are both water planets (Pisces and Scorpio) and both have to do with transformation. Pluto transforms our bodies from the Kundalini up. Neptune transforms our Spirit. Pluto goes deep to cure the cause. Neptune pulls us to believe in the unseeable, our dreams. Neptune calls Pluto to compassion. Pluto says face the facts. There is the physical doctor and if the patient doesn’t believe, they can die no matter how great the Dr is. If there is no great Dr, the patient may die no matter what he believes. Truly, we need these two to work together. We/they, have been getting better at it!

This connection is more significant now because March 23, 2023 Pluto first entered Aquarius, a 246 year event! Now through 2044, 21 years, there will be significant world changes. ’26 to ’32 the remaining 13 exact sextiles with Neptune happen while Neptune is in Aries, Pluto in Aquarius. Please continue to strengthen our Aquarian and Uranian people, those factors in your own charts!

You can see the potency of this three outer planet grouping. The harmony of these planets draws us past our daily experience. We are encountering great principles working together. Uranus is humanitarian, the Awakener. Neptune is the dreamer of the vastitudes, spiritual Master. Pluto awakens the Kundalini, the fire at the base of the spine, burns away the dross, aligns the chakras and we are ON! When Pluto is in Aquarius, Uranus’s sign, the two are combined as one, unimaginable electric life force! Immense possibilities. See more about the approaching April 2024 Jupiter conjunct Uranus! This aspect alone will jump the group a few light years ahead!

Dec 12 Sagittarius New Moon! Mercury in Station Retrograde 11:09 PM Pacific!

Monday Dec 12, 3:32 PM Pacific at 20 Sagittarius 40!

Spirited New Moon, Mercury RX in abundant Trine with Jupiter Taurus, Mars Abroad with Cures!

2023 Sagittarius New Moon Mercury Retrograde Matt Triplow Photo!

How Special! For Mother’s Day 2016, together as a family we drove two hours to Font’s Point in the Anza Borrego desert to shoot a family portrait under the Milkyway at about 2am. Matt says: This shot was comprised of 12, 30 second exposures stitched together to capture the whole arching galaxy. I had to run forwards and back to reposition the camera. Dedicated and beautiful work by Photographer Matt Triplow!

Dec 12‘s Sagittarius New Moon brings Mercury in Capricorn RETROGRADE at 11:09 PM Pacific! Mercury has been in STATION since Dec 9, and will be until 16, an 8 day period of astronomical ‘stand still,’ focus, steeping in Capricorn wisdom. This is while Pluto is Retrograde back in Capricorn, adjusting and finalizing the Capricorn foundation for its sign change back into Aquarius. This is important because Pluto will be in Aquarius for a 21 year period until 2044! Two Sign Sagittarius-Capricorn Mercury Retrograde! 

Mercury holds a powerful position in this chart! On the brink of Retrograde, he is in an approaching three-time Earth trine Jupiter in Taurus! The first trine was exactly Dec 7, next is the retrograde aspect on the 18th and third and last is Jan 19, 2024! What starts on Dec 7 has follow through blessings and consequences the second and third times. be conscious and make them good. Plan to update each time.

Mercury’s observations make sure the job is getting done in a timely fashion, calls on the experts and consultants to do the best, makes sure the structure is reliable in extreme conditions, hires professionals, gets maintenance training for steady functioning, checks out safe and sustainable options and best prices on materials. He secures the best housing for elders. Does the crucial and essential work. This is a great collaboration with Jupiter in Taurus.

In Taurus Jupiter is strong as a Bull, an oxen, a fabulous draft horse! They are good natured, steady, capable. Jupiter has faith and confidence that carries him through long term projects, to meaningful successes. Taurus is no quitter. Just don’t get in their way! Jupiter is well partnered with Taurus. Taurus is not afraid of hard work, is loyal and dedicated. Jupiter is a strong student and teacher looking for perspective and a useful broader truth. Taurus would rather stay home, but will take Jupiter on his back cross country, the tractor to the remote area needing checking on, or on the train overland far away. He sees through Jupiter’s big wide eyes and changes some of his opinions. Taurus has such patience and common sense that Jupiter can calm down, take the time it takes, and feel safe right where he stands. No need to run away. If the two of them together get too stubborn for words, it may take a powerful event to get them to shake it off, let go, consider other possibilities. Just show them how it is better, especially the consequences and losses if not taken advantage of. Be ready to prove your point. If Taurus looks at you sideways, you know you still have some work to do.

Jupiter in Taurus is still retrograde, but will be coming forward to conjunct Uranus April 20, 2024! WOW! That will be some experience! Do be thinking on what you would like to see happen by then, be preparing for it even now. Allow your mind to sweep the environment, to expand what you aspire to. Jupiter will turn forward Dec 30. A lengthy one degree station will be Dec 6 through Jan 24, 2024. Those of you with chart factors at or very close to 5 and 6 degrees will be activated. In that time, some deeper principles will take root with you, securing a strong foundation, worthy of your continued care as they develop further. Jupiter is lucky for Earth, expands earth events, education, perspectives of long term value. Yes, we have seen huge earth events, some not seeming so lucky, but in the long term we will do better with these kinds of events as we plan ahead to use them rather than suffer destruction. One of the things we can do is manage our food production choices in context of coming weather. Another is to mitigate temperature changes. Jupiter rules heat! See more: 2023-24 Aspects and other Sign Changes!

The New Moon will be in Sagittarius, the sign preceding Capricorn. Sag has the long distance visions, collects skills and thinking worldwide, is hopeful, seeing the diverse solutions to many issues encountered along their travel Path! Cultural and differing indigenous ways offer remarkable possibilities!

Mother Moon finds generous sharing, swaddling of babies, child rearing, tips for food, home care even when on the move, like refugees that must deal with weather and social integration. Father Sun leads to ones in charge that have warm hearts, want the best for all. As travelers, they sing, work along the way sometimes, absorb languages and customs, respect, when to leave immediately if necessary, learn to honor, give gratitude for gifts they can’t always pay for. For many, money ceases to be the medium of exchange. Profound bonds are formed.

Two factors add spice to this New Moon. Mars is also earlier in Sagittarius. He will want the latest in adventures! Things have changed since Covid! Less group tours, more family travel, nature tourism replacing more crowded places and activities. James Liang, chairman of Trip.com Group, says Asian travelers surveyed reported free cancellation, flexible presale bookings and insurance coverage were the most important factors when booking travel nowadays. Travelers are more ethical. EcoWatch says ‘Survey of Travelers Finds 76% Want More Sustainable Options!’

The New Moon has just passed the inconjunct with Uranus in Taurus. Uranus is the Aquarius planet, so has led Moon and Sun to wilder and hopefully greener pastures! While Taurus is down on the fertile planes, Uranus rules flight, weather predictions over broad areas. He sees changes coming, passes the info to Taurus and they brilliantly and steadfastly prepare. Some changes are so fortunate, some are devastating. That’s nature. The New Moon in Sagittarius is used to changes while traveling and is quite quickly adaptable. Seek cover, LOL!

Sagittarius makes the plans due to finances available, the elemental ethics of divine purpose important to live for. There may be great sacrifice, to achieve the chosen goals and locations. With careful attention and being with inspirational leaders, great abundance may bloom.

Capricorn, the alchemical Architect, builds strong foundations, bonds with Earth herself, along the supernatural earth lines of Sagittarius and the vortexes where they converge. Over time even the ley lines are shifting, which is becoming apparent as climate shifts happen. Certain ancient patterns (paternity, patron) are closing, opening in different formations. In the ‘old’ days, straight lines represented straightness, spirit travel and the dead. As Pluto, the planet of Revelation, moves into Aquarius, for the first time in 246 years, one by one these lines and places will become electric. We will feel them when we go cross country. As the Pyramids were great centers, universities of 100s, 1000s of years past were formed, great learning locations will now start forming in different ways and places. Aquarius can be ‘scientific enlightenment,’ versus spiritualistic. Check out this link for one person’s historical view of energy lines. Your ‘conclusions’ may simply be a beginning to new doors of perception.

There is rather a sense of containment, or restraint with this New Moon. 1) Mercury is still, in station, in conservative Capricorn, in a state of abiding responsibility, having a strong work ethic. He, at 8 Cap, will not make the exact sextile with Venus at 9 Scorpio since Mercury is retreating back from 8. Venus in Scorpio would be holding privacy on Mercury’s ideas anyway. Though Mars and the New Moon are in forthright Sagittarius, they are not linked as Mercury and Venus are.

2) The New Moon trines the Aries North Node, sextiles the Libra South Node. Independence is being called for to balance old make-everybody-happy ways of Libra. The Nodes are always generally retrograde and so is this one. They meet, they talk, but immediate big results may not happen there either. Jot down those ideas. It just may not be their time yet.

Moon’s Nodes? Part of the importance of the Node’s events, are the Libra-Aries axis is learning to be able to be independent, a leader, AND work together, each contributing their own strengths. Moon’s Nodes are considered to be somewhat karmic, to connect concepts of mistakes of the past/past lives with making amendments balanced by the opposite principles of the opposite sign, of current times. It is not always easy within ourselves, because the soul has its memories, and we, and others involved, have fears, angers and perversions, chronic behaviors that need to be faced and overcome. Do have patience with each other and yourself. Though you may be ready to make good, the other may not be able to receive your offering yet, and vice versa.

Mars, the Aries planet, trines Chiron in Aries. Chiron is retrograde, checking on past work though Mars is not letting him be still, Mars isn’t getting the action he hoped for. The New Moon has already passed Chiron, so the high point of the energy of their connection has passed. Aries/Mars, Mars in Sagittarius often don’t marry. Chiron the marriage planet is in Aries! So a partner has to let them be independent. It won’t be exactly a traditional relationship. It’s a little twitchy, itchy, can be yay or nay, provocative, adventurous or pushes away. Aries does love challenges. We’ll see.

Chiron is fast at 15 Aries. He’s leading the way and even while retrograde, he’s still faster than average! New, the latest, remedies are being delivered. He gives you the information on how to use them, but jot it down quickly and ask your questions because he’s already gone on to the next client/patient! He’s racing against time because so many critical things are happening. We must be well to contribute our part. He’s a rights fighter for a strong mind and body to represent our Spirit/Soul. Chiron is ready for Initiation, exploration, quick learning! He goes places no one has gone before. Courage is impressive. Stand tall! Independence, thinking for yourself, quickly tracking reality, is a strong plus!

3) Venus in Scorpio has passed her opposition with Jupiter in Taurus. She got some good ideas, but Mercury in retrograde Station isn’t going anywhere fast and neither is Jupiter in Taurus. Scorpio likes intensity, may have been disappointed by slow moving Jupiter in Taurus. Jupiter sometimes likes to sit with the Earth (Taurus), ponder the meanings, what may happen long term with various Paths. He knows a lot is at stake with the long term changes coming. Taurus was born to sit and observe. He is seeking well grounded peace. Not a fad follower, he wants sensible dependable durable solutions. Yet Jupiter always wants progress, so there is spending money for better gear versus installing the tried and true. How much will progressive new gear save, when will it pay for itself? Venus in Scorpio has moved along. Witnessing this dilemma, good with finances, she  may have already arrived at valuable solutions. All eyes are on her awaiting her findings. Charismatic Venus in Scorpio may have been secretly gathering funding sources along the way, a blessing coming! There may be matters of protection and security she has arranged as well. Love life may be on the waiting list.

Saturn has now finished his station, turned forward at 1 Pisces. He retrograded all the way back to the beginning of Pisces. Saturn is reviewing the very foundation of Pisces to be sure Pisces is weathering the storms, able to stand true to his karmic and dharmic intentions. Saturn knows how to help when there are disenchantments, remediation needed after disasters. He knows how to walk you back to the organic bedrock of the Soul and connect you with others who are dedicated and will shelter you when you need it. Saturn has had a few tough times of his own. He has learned his building skills by experience and is efficient, often wise. Pisces enjoys wandering, but there are times we need him to be present and realistically leading our Spirits. Saturn reminds him of his priorities. Pisces has lived the aeons, but there are timely concerns as significant changes like Pluto into Aquarius happen.

I see Saturn as harnessing the insights and psychic ability of Pisces, the ability to understand something that was unknown, develop a personal form of Spirituality that brings you to your knees and exhilarates your Soul!  At the earth level we have seen swarms of floods and powerful water events. I want to see ways for Saturn to harvest water significantly, to help take care of our oceans, reduce plastic and poisonous pollution, to harvest safely without harming other fish, dolphins and whales, to harvest cleanly and more abundantly. See more!

___________________

The three outmost planets, the higher consciousness planets Uranus, Neptune and Pluto, are still in their sextiles/trine pattern. Many events are making world headlines. This combination of the three outmost planets aspecting each other this way is quite rare and will continue through 2028.

They are in sextile links chain – opportunities – with each other. Uranus is retrograde in Taurus while Pluto is retrograde back in fellow earth sign Capricorn. Jupiter is closer to his conjunction with Uranus April 20, and many are already sensing the amazing possibilities. But for now, Jupiter is finishing retrograde, will Direct Dec 30. The threesome is holding in earth and water signs until Pluto makes his shift back into Aquarius again Jan 20 2024. That will leave Uranus and Neptune keeping the dream electric and lively! Neptune evolves just like all the planets do. With Uranus, even Neptune develops a new level of awareness. At first Uranus may seem a bit prickly, but as Neptune gets used to it, it’s more sparkly! In fact, it’s all quite intriguing.

In our immediate future! It is no surprise Sagittarius is the Seer since it is the sign of the GALACTIC CENTER, the center of our Milky Way galaxy! The Sag Sun’s annual Conjunction is a powerful time for meditation! Dec 18, 2023 about 8:45 PM Pacific the Sun is 27 Sagittarius 00. Currently the GC is thought to be very early in the 27th degree, so that night would be considered to be the strongest direct time to connect. Do as you intuitively feel is the right time for you, do several days or just the one. Blessed be. Previous post on the GC!

Virgo, the Gardeners of Life!

2023 Virgo Master Gardeners U of Florida VegHeadz working at Demonstration Garden!

Master Gardeners may not wear suits, but they teach, speak at events, have tables and booths at garden events from local to international, do educational volunteer projects, write blogs packed with information and images, set up community gardens, butterfly gardens, donate to foodbanks, advocate permaculture and sustainability, advise farmers and urban home gardeners, are university based, engage in research programs, breed more successful climate varieties, improved nutritional varieties, are quite educated, and sensible to boot, LOL! During National Volunteer Week, this University of Florida MG group called VegHeadz worked at the UF Demonstration Garden. Nice haul! See their blog!

Three Penn State Extension Master Gardener programs were lauded for excellence during the 2019 International Master Gardener Conference, held this summer at Pennsylvania’s Valley Forge Casino Resort and attended by program volunteers from most of the 50 states, Canada, South Korea and England. See More! Master Gardeners is one of the largest volunteer organizations in the country with more than 86,076 volunteers in 49 states. Early September 2024 brings the National Extension MG Coordinator’s Conference, Santa Fe, New Mexico! 

All it takes is one Virgo to get the whole family gardening. That person probably knows that store bought Strawberries are #1 on the Dirty Dozen list, have the most pesticides. Spinach is #2; Kale is #3. They advocate organic purchases, but best of all, grow your own. As dietary specialists they know how more nutritious fresh food is. Instinctually they know how being outdoors is good for us, being tuned in to nature relaxes us and we sleep better.

Experienced Virgo grandparents may lead the way, teaching the generations about growing techniques, herbal medicinals, to plant flower habitats to bring pollinators! Or a younger husband or wife or a teen novice, even a young child may get us started. Joining a community garden gives access to many wisdoms; going online gives us the latest research results, keeps us up on climate adjustments! Virgos are excellent data gatherers, often doing a little research on their own! They want real answers right at their location.

The ultimate goal of farming is not the growing of crops, but the cultivation and perfection of human beings. – Masanobu Fukuoka

We aren’t just growing plants, we are growing people. We are working for physical well being, seeking quality character. We learn to persevere to choose the best, have patience to wait to plant for nature’s right timing. We design our garden layout, organize our lives and plan for successful results. We learn to think further ahead, seasons and years. Building good soil can take several years. With our own experience we develop personal confidence, build a reservoir of strength. As others help us, getting us through newbie matters, including our mistakes, we see how to be more kindly and helpful to others.

In the garden of thy heart, plant naught but the rose of love. – Baha’U’Uah

Being born a Virgo doesn’t mean we automatically know how to be one. In the beginning, there is often rampant self criticism that slows us down. Learn how to be kind to yourself as well, as you would be to another. Your expectations may be high, perfectionism both a boon and a bane, but in time it brings superlative outcomes, satisfaction right down to the core! Do it in a good way, your way, in your time. Trust your instinct. You are a complex being trying to get a good grip on the many powerful aspects you have to offer.

It isn’t always easy for a Virgo to ask for help. They usually already do it best! But once you meet a few mentors in different categories, you see there is more and better yet. Meeting friendly appreciative supporters and life counselors/coaches, you will be thrilled and at their feet driving them crazy with questions, LOL! A 1000 questions later you are still asking and may need to step up to the next level of helpers! Life itself is blossoming!

“Earth turns to Gold in the hands of the Wise.” Rumi

Know that you are perfect just the way you are, a growing Being. There is no one else just like you. Even twins are different. They see different things all the time; their experiences are different as they look different directions. We need you to be you. You are the only one that can hold your exact special place in this great web of life. We couldn’t do it as successfully without you and your unique intelligence.

Thank you for Being with us.

Virgo Overview 2023 to August 2024!

Virgo 2023 Health Professionals

If you are a great tech and a people oriented Virgo, Nursing is so rewarding. You can be a health practitioner in so many ways – nutritional, health counseling/coaching, physical rehab, a traveling nurse, a specialist of  additional healing alternative methods. If you are not so people oriented, you can be a health professional in so many ways, including being the hospital accountant, insurance processor, a researcher for much needed cures! Bless you each for your very special kind of service.

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 21 years, until January 2044!

After only 2.5 months in Aquarius, a mini preview, June 11 Pluto retrograded back into Capricorn, will go back to 27 Cap 53.He will return to Aquarius Jan 20, 2024 for seven plus months then again retrogrades back into Capricorn for a final checkup and review before reentering Aquarius to stay! See Pluto in Aquarius     Pluto in Capricorn     Pluto’s First Seven Years in Aquarius 2023 to 2029 

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. 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, 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. Saturn will then be 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 

JUPITER entered Taurus May 16! What a shift from Aries!It will be a damper for some, while for others 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 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

As signs change, talents are commingled, the Path between them becoming a usable channel. Jupiter in Pisces, Aries and Taurus 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. 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! 

 
Planetary Aspect Portals Crater Lake Circular Rainbow

Portals are all around us.

Some are temporary, some are always there. Some are annual like the August 8 Lion’s Gate. No two are alike, take us different places. Some are one way, others are two way but perhaps only at certain intervals – you have to be there or… Some lifetimes there are none, others have several passages. And there are the portals into and out of life. In astrology these are sign changes and aspects formed between planets. 2023’s big one is Pluto’s 246 year sign change into Aquarius!

♦ June 19, 2023, Jupiter sextiled Saturn at 7 Pisces 12. It was the last exact aspect of 2023! After that time there are no more sign changes or further aspects!That doesn’t mean YOU won’t have any aspects the rest of the year because the planets are still moving, just not connecting with each other in the sky! See your astrologer about your aspects.

The three outmost planets, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto, take it to the next level, meaning these are considered higher consciousness planets! They are sextiling – opportunities – each other and Uranus has moved into trine with Pluto while Pluto is retrograde back in Capricorn. Jupiter is closer to his conjunction with Uranus, and many are already sensing the amazing possibilities. But for now, Jupiter is in station about to retrograde. They will be exact April 2024. The threesome are holding in earth and water signs until Pluto makes his shift back into air sign Aquarius again Jan 2024. That will leave Uranus and Neptune keeping the dream electric and lively! Neptune evolves just like all the planets do. With Uranus he develops a new level of awareness. At first it may seem a bit prickly, but as he gets used to it, it’s more sparkly! In fact, it’s all quite intriguing, and Neptune is hard to impress – he’s seen it all.

When she first heard about these three together, a friend said OMG, that sounds destabilizing and slightly terrifying! And it can be, depending on your point of view and climate changes. Sometimes destabilizing can be a chosen technique, done on purpose in a good way, like the demolition of an old dangerous building. At the same time space is made to accommodate opening the good gates of the future, an amazing rebuild, making a park, a hospital, library, low income senior housing. With climate disasters, entire areas are devastated. Yet even during anger and grief, there is the seeing of a significant, even profound, choice of rebirth of much better ways. In time, surprisingly, the whole experience brings gratitude. As Rumi says: “Earth turns to Gold in the hands of the Wise.” Here is our big chance to make it so!

Uranus sextile Neptune

Uranus has been within a 5° sextile with Neptune since July ’23, and will be for five months through Dec 16, 2023! Uranus is the last Air planet, the planet of the heavens, flight and electronics – the internet and networking. The Awakener has humanitarian inclinations and collective intent. There is maximum exchange of information, extraordinary invention, as genius is released planet wide! He changes, adds dimension to Neptune’s way of seeing and content of his visions! That Uranus is grounded in Taurus, he keeps the intentions sensible and steady. Things may not be so ‘loud.’ More gets done since undistracted energy is concentrated, applied right where needed, and doesn’t quit until completed.

Neptune, the most adaptable planet, quickly takes on the Uranian continuum of skills, adeptly commingles it with his own psychic seeing! He gives remarkable tips that bypass super logic and gets us there without explanation. Astonishing as always was and will be! There are leaps beyond our ken, but we arrive, suddenly transported, functioning in a way we didn’t know before, but is right as rain. It seems like a miracle, but is really normal.

At times we get lost in the glory and excitement of such transitions. We get enamored with the genius of it all. But Neptune reminds us it’s not just what we can do but the meaning of it all. We take a few still moments to honor our original inspiration, the commandments of our Soul, the depth of caring, need for change, that started our pilgrimage.

After Dec 16, 2023 they again pick up their less than 5° sextile June 14, 2024 through Feb 13, 2025! This second set is eight months, making a total of 13 months! Neptune again leaves Uranus behind, entering ARIES Mar 30, 2025, never making the exact sextile while Neptune is in Pisces! Yet all this prelude period, they are functioning together, progressively activating 19 through 28 degree factors in our charts! They are awakening us, setting the stage, making a foundation for the exact aspect sets to come.

Aug 28, 2025 they start their two year set of EXACT sextiles. It is the first of five aspects but in Gemini and Aries! See more! 

During their periods of not being closer than 5°, the three outer planets are not all closely connected. 

With the outmost planets, this pattern of coming close then moving apart is normal. It gives time to get to know each other in context of the type of aspect and the signs they are in. They can see how to protect themselves if necessary, how to help each other as possible.

Uranus trine Pluto

Uranus trine Pluto are also in a pre exact aspects prelude period. Currently, since Uranus is sextile Neptune, and Neptune is sextile Pluto, Uranus is trine Pluto though technically not quite within the 5° or less zone. Since around the end of July, or earlier, Uranus and Pluto have been considering each other. Uranus slows to his stand still station Aug 28. Pluto is retrograding getting closer by degree with Uranus. They get closest Sep 10/11 then gradually part further. But once aware of each other, they can still watch…plus Neptune has his eye on both and they are both watching Neptune. It’s a bit intricate and it isn’t done yet. 

There are two more close periods. They don’t make the first EXACT trine until July 17, 2026! Like Uranus sextile Neptune, this too is a 5 time set of aspects and takes two years to complete on May 9, 2028.

While Neptune is midpoint between them he can act as a buffer. Pluto in Capricorn is set in some of his ways. Uranus is the planet of change and evolution while Capricorn is the guardian of the status quo, elders. Pluto doesn’t want anyone messing with his relationships, especially with money. But, they are nevertheless, trine, likely to find ways to work with each other. Uranus in Taurus is more sensible, but certainly not the same. His advocacy for individual’ rights includes money, but from the opposite side of the table. Pluto is corporate money, the ruler of Scorpio. Taurus is MY money. It will take a little doing to bridge this difference. Both are strong and both can be stubborn. Neptune in Pisces is known for his empathy and understanding, but he has long been bonded with Pluto, so may lean a bit more to Pluto’s side. 

Neptune Sextile Pluto 82 years!

Neptune and Pluto know each other well. From 1900 through 2032, there is only one aspect made between Neptune and Pluto! It came within effective range in the midst of World War II during 1942. Neptune sextile Pluto has a profound and exotic history! Jamie Partridge refers to it as an ‘inter-generational’ planetary aspect lasting from 1950 to 2032! In those years there are 49 exact aspects over three to four generations! Both planets have changed signs multiple times in that period. Pluto started in Leo, Neptune in Libra. They have done 7 signs, Pluto now in Aquarius, Neptune in Aries. The sextiles finish when both are in their opposite signs from where they started. At this part of their orbits they have been traveling at speeds that have allowed them to keep the sextile aspect for 82 years! Though their last exact sextile was June 9, 1986, they have stayed in sextile, sometimes closer, sometimes further apart, until now! July 24 to Sep 15, 2026 they start exact aspects again! They make their first station, then, not missing any, they continue through Feb 29, 2032, from 4 to 14° Aries/Aquarius! They make 13 additional exact aspects in this period! This completes the 82 years! Chart factors you have in or very close to those degrees will tap you into this sequence. 

As planets travel together, they become more like each other. Neptune and Pluto are both water planets (Pisces and Scorpio) and both have to do with transformation. Pluto transforms our bodies from the Kundalini up. Neptune transforms our Spirit. Pluto goes deep to cure the cause. Neptune pulls us to believe in the unseeable, our dreams. Neptune calls Pluto to compassion. Pluto says face the facts. There is the physical doctor and if the patient doesn’t believe, they can die no matter how great the Dr is. If there is no great Dr, the patient may die no matter what he believes. Truly, we need these two to work together. We/they, have been getting better at it!

This connection is more significant now because March 23, 2023 Pluto entered Aquarius, a 246 year event! Now through 2044, 21 years, there will be significant world changes. ’26 to ’32 the remaining 13 exact sextiles with Neptune happen while Neptune is in Aries, Pluto in Aquarius. Please continue to strengthen our Aquarian and Uranian people, those factors in your own charts!

♦ 2024!

April 20 is the first of Jupiter’s six different 2024 aspects, Jupiter conjunct Uranus in Taurus! All the aspects through June 2 happen only once, so that’s it. If they aspect your personal chart factors, be there, don’t miss the opportunities!

As Jupiter has moved through all the signs year by year, Uranus has also moved forward! Their June 8 2010 conjunction was quite rowdy in Aries. The Pisces conjunctions late 2010, early 2011 were different. This one in Taurus will be comparatively quiet, but have dedicated and determined, solid achievement! The likes of which you have never been seen before is happening! With Pluto now in Aquarius wanting to make his mark, talk about earth changes and the astonishing networks of humanitarian people who bring them to pass, with our new ideas and the advanced technologies to make them come true, are real possibilities! Their time has come. Some may be disasters remediated. Some will be grass roots prevention efforts that take hold with precedent setting immediate unbelievable results! Strong lucky Jupiter in Taurus along with the Aquarian planet Uranus can rumble for change now! Uranus electrifies, awakens all, keeps change rolling. Taurus, strong as an ox, carries the Sun Disk in his horns on into the Promised Land! Hathor and Isis would approve!

The gains of Uranus’ innovative processes will be well guarded, anchored and maintained. For Taurus, it will be one wild aspect! Jupiter and Uranus are both total freedom lovers! You can tell Jupiter many hero stories of travels, but just the same, Taurus will stand his ground and may surprise you by opting to stay home. On the other hand, an unexpected sudden move may happen! Who would have thought?! Uranus takes freedom as far as he can! Jupiter and Uranus are both rather ungovernable. They will find the other way and it will most assuredly be more fun…LOL! Plan something crazy and wonderful! Up the amps on your education opportunity and stick to it! Gather your friends and build an eco friendly earth home! The results might cost more than expected, but in the long term worth every penny! Jupiter is long distance travel, and Uranus is flight, the heavens! Keep your feet on the ground and look UP! 

Jupiter intends to expand AQ matters – support genius kids, improve humanitarian relationships and networks, see unique offerings of different cultures, coordinate meetings worldwide! There may be some extraordinary atmospheric storms and winds. Those who have been ‘abandoned’ may be shocked by someone who shows up on their doorstep. Computers, planes, birds, space travel make repeated news. Publish odd commodities! Air quality is emphasized. Save the Earth! Of its kind, it will likely be an unforgettable show stopper! See more Uranus in Taurus

All aspects, planets and signs have their goods and bads. Jupiter big can be bad, like exceptional heat or being overweight, being malefically opinionated, slandering, scamming, lies to a loved one. In Taurus it can be a medical problem with your neck, overdoing your exercise, or a train crash, damaged land. Uranus is planetary air quality, flights with sudden endings, electrical power grid issues, electronic snafus, or even events like the Union Square Aug 5, 2023 riot over alleged give away by Kai Carlo Cenat. Jupiter can be well meaning and it can still be a disaster. Please be thoughtful and kind. Be careful. Use your instincts to be safe. Pay attention to what your body tells you.

On the plus side, this aspect alone can catapult your life a few light years ahead in a twinkling!

May 23 Jupiter sextiles Neptune at 29 Taurus/Pisces 30. Jupiter enters Gemini 2 days later, May 25.

Jupiter and Neptune have a religious and spiritual undercurrent. The will take us ‘Home!.’ The 29th degree, called the anaretic degree, the last degree of any sign, has an ending note to it, a finality, maturity, completion, a lasting achievement! Some say fate, final judgement, last chance. Neptune in his own sign Pisces has a maximum finality due to being in the last sign of the zodiac, the end of a 168 year era! Being at the gateway, there are decisions to be made. Some are hesitant; others can’t wait to be gone! There is a crucial tone to the time, now or never! All that is ‘believed’ in will soon be put into action when Neptune enters Aries March 30, 2025!

Jupiter is on a 12 year cycle, will enter Gemini immediately, on May 25! Neptune the second to outmost planet, however, is moving very slowly about to retrograde at that 29th degree on July 22, staying within a degree of the RX point until Sep 5, 3 and a 1/2 months! Due to further RXs Neptune comes back to that degree position in 2025 and ’26! Though no further exact aspects are made the degree is activated. It holds the energy of that sextile with Jupiter for 3 years! It will be more profound and long term that it first appears. Sometimes when we connect well with good aspects, we just have a good time. But if we track it, make notes, we can purposely add to it later when we know even more! If you don’t track it, you may have memories and not quite remember what it was all about.

Jupiter, the preacher and teacher, has opinions, is usually benevolent. If opinionated and judgmental, it’s a lot less fun. In Taurus change may come slowly, but surely! Dedication and patience as a teacher can be phenomenal. Neptune is still powerfully in his own sign, doesn’t move into Aries until Mar 30, 2025! His connection with Spirit is generally through mediation, a dream, a belief he has experienced deeply, uncanny music that calls us, an inner voice, a calling. Compassion and transcendence are basic. The most difficult are addiction factors. Jupiter may be the healer with alternatives that make the difference. Neptune in Pisces may show Jupiter how it is important to connect directly with ‘God’ rather than solely by old scripture, or fanciful humans, spiritual fads. Jupiter’s travels have showed him how many ways there are to get to the mountain top. Pisces has seen the invisible and has psychic perception that defies logic. Sextiles offer opportunities of compatible signs. Taurus is Earth; Pisces is Ocean water. They are the millions of miles of Shorelines of the continents. Critical attention is needed for our land – ocean connections, food and fish, to stop land toxins and debris from flowing into the ocean. It’s symbolically the connection between our body on earth and the oceanic Spirit one can’t touch or see, an ungovernable unknown that we ‘know’ and feel with every molecule of our Being.

May 25 Jupiter into Gemini while the Sun is IN Gemini! Jupiter is the Sagittarius planet; Sagittarius is Gemini’s opposite sign! Essentially we will have a combination with two minds! That’s nothing new to Gemini, but Jupiter, a rambler, is still more one pointed, like the arrow to the bullseye! Yet Gemini is multi minded and Jupiter is generally broadminded! They both have quite a bit of flex, both easily distracted, take off in a moment. But when Jupiter has purpose, he may send Gemini on a data gathering mission. If Jupiter gets a little opinionated, ironically the Gemini part of their combo may quickly deluge him with ideas and facts that get him thinking, may expand and alter his point of view due to his own actions! Gemini also gets bored at times, but may not want to travel as far as Jupiter wants to. He may impress Jupiter that there is plenty to do right here! Jupiter says you need a bigger window to see more and they may try each other’s ways, but both will likely still be restless. They are fathomlessly curious. 

Jupiter might meander, stopping at the local university library, chatting with well known profs, then afterwards the Gemini part of him darts in for the news bytes at the nearby ever popular students’ coffee house! Students are trendsetters! Jupiter may guide, hold a larger parameter, go for the meaning of things. Gemini gathers and tracks backup data, follows the shifting moods of the people, goes for telling the latest news, giving quick inspiration. Jupiter thinks of publishing a book, series of books, of the whole story of those times and location, looks for significant trends, how that will affect others later on. Together they can be dynamite as they ride and combine both sides of the fence! 

Stories may be full of huge heroes with meaningful commissions, comic strips abound, joyful exaggerations plentiful! There will be a lot to be said, sorting wheat from chaff will be challenging! Scams, scoundrels, scandal and slander may be a plague. Keep your life clean, be transparent, stay informed, change your passwords. If you get that ‘feeling,’ check it out. Otherwise, do your breathing exercises and live BIG!

 June 2 Jupiter trines Pluto at 1 Gemini/Aquarius 53! This is considered a plentiful financial potential! Time to diversify your portfolio! Jupiter is lucky, abundance minded, is good at gauging future possibilities! He has a ton of irons in the fire! Pluto is the planet of wealth, corporations, major inheritances, important insurance, behind the scenes deals! Be on the up and up, well informed, and be safe. Jupiter expands the options, preaches to and gathers the people. He educates them that they can do well too! Aquarius is a networker of renowned capability from causes to concerts! Combined with Pluto, expect phenomenal fundraising! Jupiter’s storytelling is like a magnet. It could be sports oriented or a tricky murder mystery! Jupiter wants well being and Pluto can do shamanic healing. Pluto and Aquarius are both researchers and medical history may be made. Stand up and be a part of this wonderful time! 

Sometimes Jupiter’s major trustfulness makes him vulnerable to the deals of a lifetime. Jupiter in Gemini may be too busy chatting or storytelling to check things out. Even people with trusted reputations can make mistaken offerings. Though there is big promise, there can also be huge scams. Jupiter is vulnerable to large scale deals, deals from/in foreign countries. Back up and listen. If 3 of your usual trusted advisors warn you, maybe do a small trial investment or don’t at all. Wait and see if possible. If you are hyped because it’s an ‘only now opportunity,’ be especially cautious. They say salesmen are the most vulnerable to sales by others! 

Pluto can rather unceremoniously end things. Sometimes, in retrospect, that is the best thing that could have ever happened. Aquarius sets you free. There can be swift recovery when that is meant to be. The unexpected comeback is so much better than what was before! Shoulda done it before ~ Let your strength of mind, faith and optimism carry you well beyond! The past is spent; no looking back. These are not average times. Let Jupiter in Gemini spread the good word. Expect to be intensely busy! Deep friendship may be a bond that could lead to a lasting marriage.

Be ready to back out or shift your position before then.

Aug 19 Gemini Jupiter squares Pisces Saturn, the first of three times. Saturn can be down in the bilge, chronic, so Jupiter may have a hard time getting his attention. Jupiter in Gemini can be annoyingly cheerful and lack empathy to the depth of others’ fears, discomforts or sorrows. Yet sometimes a distraction is a breath of fresh air. Forgot life could be good. From funny stories to the silliest jokes, a smile may come. Don’t go running away because the lights don’t come on immediately, but take a break if you need to. Saturn in Pisces gives himself to the serious needs of troubled Souls whether it be fear, abuse, addictions, abandonment. Saturn himself can get burned out. Jupiter is an expert getting people out of the zone. Gemini doesn’t usually want to go too far away, and that may be all the time and energy Saturn has, especially if the situation is critical. Make what time you do have count. To meet someplace near and special, but not taxing would be perfect. 

Jupiter may see the great need and offer his expertise. Gemini has tons of information and can get much more. Saturn may find himself being offered support he never expected. Many people need to learn how to accept and cope with support, learn how to use it. Saturn rules fathers, bosses, elders. They can be a challenge. Show them how it works, let them adjust. Offer suggestions then let them process, checking in frequently for short times at first. Alternate methods than they are used to take time to absorb. Pisces can be quick to assess, but due to past experiences may not trust. Give it the time it takes. The results may be nothing short of miraculous!

Jupiter is generally not used to being rebuffed or not trusted. If Saturn is up and strong, he may test Jupiter, check out the facts, general track record, credit rating, demand a realistic demonstration, note how long it takes, think over what could be improved, then make a decision. You are thinking Saturn in Pisces would do that?! You betcha! If he’s a pro in the music business, has a cause to support, a non profit to run, it’s crucial. 

If he backs you or takes your offer, that can be considered quite a compliment. If you are too arrogant or flippant, he won’t think you are a hard worker. Saturn in Pisces is instinctively the old Master. He’s been around the block and your disrespect won’t work. Saturn in Pisces has a deep quality of wanting to help. If you don’t, he will find someone else. If your differences are workable, Jupiter can be Saturn’s right hand person! It could be Jupiter is in charge, but Saturn is usually the boss. Maybe Jupiter is the traveling owner. Jupiter can bring the data and the greater ideas for opportunities of the future. Saturn will sense their excellent value. Saturn’s cautions may protect and preserve their ventures, get the patents. They could break the mold and work together for years! 

The second opportunity is Dec 24, 2024, followed by a very close aspect, a reminder, June 15, 2025.

Enjoy these powerful awesome times! The possibilities are compelling!


AstroLocality!

If your changes during 2023, 24, include moving, Jupiter in Taurus chooses land that makes him feel a connection that feels good under his bare feet! But with Jupiter in Taurus moves are more cautiously decided, less likely. A trailer is more likely, a home you can take with you. 

If you already moved, take a look at your AstroLocality map and Relocation Charts to see the meaning of your move and its potentials! If you haven’t picked your location yet, or have but not moved yet, you might change your mind. First, take a look at maps that show areas of conflict, drought, disasters. Conflicts take years of recovery; droughts and disasters take years of remediation. Think in terms of sustainability and a clean water supply. See your AstroLocality astrologer for advices on personal locations best for what and the best timing! Depending on your finances, be cautious about moves during retrograde periods, especially double retrogrades. If it is a necessity at a retrograde time, know that there will be further changes and factor in the costs that go with that. If you are buying a home as well, top priority may be that it is a good investment per resale value since you may change your mind about keeping it. Renting is recommended until times are more stable. With sign changes a lot of mind changing happens. The Pluto retrogrades Aquarius, Capricorn, Aquarius will be serious. Capricorn is the sign of real estate, and may give you the important information to make a wise investment.

Particularly note that we are NOW looking at heartful and hardworking Leo/Virgo Venus/Mercury DOUBLE RETROGRADE! The Venus retrograde cycle 12 to 28° Leo started June 19 (the day of the Jupiter sextile Saturn – the last 2023 aspect). Venus finishes Oct 7. It is retrograde July 22 – Sep 3. Mercury starts his cycle Aug 3, finishes Sep 29, 8 to 21° Virgo 49. He is Rx Aug 23 to Sep 15. The DOUBLE RX is at back to school time, off to college, a common time to move, Aug 23 to Sep 3 (Labor Day weekend)! If moves are made then, don’t be surprised if there soon is another housing change… See the complete Timeline!

Returns!

Returns are a special time when a planet orbits back to your original birth point. It reminds you of the purity of its purpose in your life. Saturn’s refreshes your outlook on your Dharma, the work of your Soul. Jupiter’s refreshes your gift of how you learn/teach and travel life! If your return is in a degree that will be in retrograde, you will have it three times.

During Virgo’s year, Saturn covers 0 to 19 Pisces. Those of you with your Saturns in those degrees will be having your 28/29 year Saturn Return(s)!

If your Jupiter is 5 Taurus to 17 Gemini, you will have your 11/12 year Jupiter Return(s) in Virgo’s year. 

Lunar patterns 2023-24!

New Moons: 21 and 20 degrees, Sep 14, 2023 to March 10, 2024. April 8, 2024 at 19 degrees.
Full Moons: 4 and 5 degrees, Oct 28, 2023 to April 23, 2024  

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

With Pluto’s new mission in Aquarius, retrograding back to Capricorn then returning to AQ, we will be having an intense year as we get started making significant world changes and personal changes finding our places in this new time! Pluto returning to Capricorn will update Cap and strengthen that foundation. He will bring more of Capricorn’s important worthy work of this last 14 years forward into the new auspice of Aquarius. Cap deserves the recognition. Aquarius is blessed. For anticipation of long term plans see Pluto’s Next 7 Years – Updated and additions 8.21!

Thank you, Dear Virgos, for your loving Healing in so many ways! 

Updated for each sign annually

It was that Super Sunny Sweet Smile…

2023 Leo Kate Middleton's Smile!

Kate Middleton is a Jan 9, 1982 smart and sharp Capricorn. Her Leo Ascendant packs a splendid smile and plenty of pizzazz!

It was only a sunny smile…that made all the difference! Leo is sometimes all flash, a great smile included. Sometimes they are all heart, a great smile included. Even when it is sad times, that gracious sweet smile, escorted by lots of love, hints at better times to come. 

One smile, a flash of light, can mend years of pain and sorrow, heal an estranged relationship. It signals a remembrance and a reawakening of love in a new way, older and wiser. It brings a blessing that no money can buy.

A smile may be the first time a lonely child may know love, be appreciated just the way s/he is. For an abandoned or abused animal, pup or kitten or old, it can be an opening to being lovingly cared for, homed, comforted. Elder humans may need that smile for keeping depression away, to inspire them to get up and out for a walk, to revitalize in fresh air.   

On the job that precious smile can be by a happy customer at the food cart, appreciation for helping a fellow worker make it, recognition for being there day by day, when the CEO is thanked for a job well done, making a good name for making a donation that blesses many. Women’sHealth says receiving a smile can mean ‘a glum mood is lifted, an apology is accepted, a person’s shaky self-confidence gets a boost, a deal is struck, a physical attraction is communicated.’ Smiles are powerful.

Random smiles often have more significance than you could ever know. It may be by a person in a passing car, yet it starts your day. It could be the one that tipped the scale and prevented a suicide. Sometimes there is no smile back when you give one, it IS a gift, but no strings attached. Sometimes it takes time to process a smile. You have been immersed in your troubles and need to come up for air. You have long term habits like maybe racial differences. Don’t give up giving your smile. It may take time to get to know a person, to trust that smile is going to be there and they are a safe person. The day you get the smile back is a great day!  

Think about your smile, your special body language. There are lots of types of smiles but according to healthline what is known as the Duchenne smile is Golden! Smiles affect our health and much more.

2023 Leo Duchenne Smile is Golden - Healthy, indicates good relationships!

Healthline says: ‘This one [type of smile] is the gold standard. The Duchenne smile is also known as the smile of genuine enjoyment. It’s the one that involves the mouth, the cheeks, and the eyes simultaneously. It’s the one where your whole face seems to light up suddenly. [Take a look back at Kate’s smile!]

Authentic Duchenne smiles make you seem trustworthy, authentic, and friendly. They’ve been found to generate better customer service experiences and better tips. And they’ve been linked to longer life and healthier relationships.

In a 2009 study, researchers looked at the intensity of smiles in college yearbook photos and found that women who had Duchenne smiles in their photos were more likely to be happily married much later.

In another study published in 2010, researchers examined baseball cards from 1952. They found that players whose photos showed intense, authentic smiles had lived much longer than those whose smiles looked less intense.’

Smiles are not only a reaction to something, but generate feelings as well! If you learned as a child to hide your feelings, especially smiles, you had nothing to smile about, practice, practice, practice. Smile even when you don’t feel like it. Just do it. Do you smile with only half your face? Wake that other side up, rebalance your right and left brain! It may take some work, but it can be done. See your therapist, massage specialist, get some acupuncture to loosen up those muscles. Do what works for you, but do it. It matters a lot in your life and is life changing, brings unexpected blessings to your life. 

See a lot more details about Smiles at Women’sHealth, including good smiles/bad smiles, lying smiles, is it true love,  gender differences.

Keep your smile straight from the heart! Leos are smile specialists, LOL!

Annual Lucky LION’S GATE PORTAL Aug 8!

Aug 8 LEO Lion's Gate Portal Sirius

Celebrating the Lion’s Gate -Saturn is the planet of gates! Wonderful Sky Art by amazing artist Margaret Flatley/Bustle

Some consider it to be the most important event of summer! It opens July 26, culminates 8-8-2023, closes Aug 12. Eight is the Infinity Number, the number of wealth and healing, your options are limitless! It acts as a bridge between the material and spiritual realms. Lion is strong, big hearted, magnificent! The Gate is powered by Sirius, the brightest star in our night sky, about 25 times more luminous than our own Sun! It takes place when the Sun in the Leo, the Earth, Orion’s Belt and the star Sirius are lined up, which is activated by the rising of the star Sirius. It aligns with the Great Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx. Per Nina Kahn: Sirius is referred to as the “Spiritual Sun.” It lights up the spirit and illuminates our higher-minded goals and ambitions. Every year, in the middle of Leo season, Sirius rises in the skies and becomes brightly visible over the eastern horizon. BE THERE! The 2023 Aug 1 Lammas Full Sturgeon Moon is during the open gate! Please see more at Nina Kahn’s post! 

Bright blessings is a favorite Leo phrase!

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 21 years, until January 2044!

After only 2.5 months in Aquarius, a mini preview, June 11 Pluto retrograded back into Capricorn, will go back to 27 Cap 53. He will return to Aquarius Jan 20, 2024 for seven plus months then again retrograde back into Capricorn for a final checkup and review before reentering Aquarius to stay! See Pluto in Aquarius     Pluto in Capricorn     Pluto’s First Seven Years in Aquarius 2023 to 2029 

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. Pisces is not used to being limited or channeled or pummeled into submission by someone else’s command. 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! Either can be a blessing or an ordeal to each other, probably a little of both 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, retrogrades back into Saturn’s sign Capricorn! Saturn will guard us from having too much empathy too long, being naive and misplacing our empathy. 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 will 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, 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. Saturn will then be 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, 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 

JUPITER entered Taurus May 16! What a shift from Aries! It will be a damper for some, while for others a rest and 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.

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 and patient 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

As signs change, talents are commingled, the Path between them becoming a usable channel. Jupiter in Pisces, Aries and Taurus 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. 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! 
 
Planetary Aspect Portals Crater Lake Circular Rainbow

Portals are all around us.

Some are temporary, some are always there. Some are annual like the August 8 Lion’s Gate. No two are alike, take us different places. Some are one way, others are two way but perhaps only at certain intervals – you have to be there or… Some lifetimes there are none, others have several passages. And there are the portals into and out of life. In astrology these are sign changes and aspects formed between planets. 2023’s big one is Pluto’s 246 year sign change into Aquarius!

June 19, 2023, Jupiter sextiled Saturn at 7 Pisces 12. It was the last exact aspect of 2023! After that time there are no more sign changes or further aspects! That doesn’t mean YOU won’t have any aspects the rest of the year because the planets are still moving, just not connecting with each other in the sky! See your astrologer about your aspects.

However, in the background… From 1900 through 2032, there is only one aspect made between Neptune and Pluto! It came within effective range in the midst of World War II during 1942. Neptune sextile Pluto has a profound and exotic history! Jamie Partridge refers to it as an ‘inter-generational’ planetary aspect lasting from 1950 to 2032! In those years there are 49 exact aspects over three to four generations! Both planets have changed signs multiple times in that period. Pluto started in Leo, Neptune in Libra. Pluto has done 7 signs, now in Aquarius. Neptune has also done 7 signs, now in Aries. The sextiles finish when both are in their opposite signs from where they started. At this part of their orbits they have been traveling at speeds that have allowed them to keep the sextile aspect for 82 years! Though their last exact sextile was June 9, 1986, they have stayed in sextile, sometimes closer, sometimes further apart, until now! July 24 to Sep 15, 2026 they start exact aspects again! They make their first station, then, not missing any, they continue through Feb 29, 2032, from 4 to 14° Aries/Aquarius! They make 13 additional exact aspects in this period! This completes the 82 years! Chart factors you have in or very close to those degrees will tap you into this sequence. 

As planets travel together, they become more like each other. Neptune and Pluto are both water planets (Pisces and Scorpio) and both have to do with transformation. Pluto transforms our bodies while Neptune transforms our Spirit. Pluto goes deep to cure the cause. Neptune pulls us to believe in the unseeable. Neptune calls Pluto to compassion. Pluto says face the facts. There is the physical doctor and if the patient doesn’t believe, they can die no matter how great the Dr is. If there is no great Dr, the patient may die no matter what he believes. Truly, we need these two to work together. We/they, have been getting better at it!

This connection is more significant now because March 23, 2023 Pluto entered Aquarius, a 246 year event! Now through 2044, 21 years, there will be significant world changes. ’26 to ’32 the remaining 13 exact sextiles with Neptune happen while Neptune is in Aries, Pluto in Aquarius. Please continue to strengthen our Aquarian and Uranian people, those factors in your own charts! 

♦ 2024!

April 20 is the first of Jupiter’s six different 2024 aspects,  Jupiter conjunct Uranus in Taurus! All the aspects through June 2 happen only once, so that’s it. If they aspect your personal chart factors, be there, don’t miss the opportunities! 

As Jupiter has moved through all the signs year by year, Uranus has also moved forward! Their June 8 2010 conjunction was quite rowdy in Aries. The Pisces conjunctions late 2010, early 2011 were different. This one in Taurus will be comparatively quiet, but have dedicated and determined, solid achievement! The likes of which you have never been seen before is happening! With Pluto now in Aquarius wanting to make his mark, talk about earth changes and the astonishing networks of humanitarian people who bring them to pass, with our new ideas and the advanced technologies to make them come true, are real possibilities! Their time has come. Some may be disasters remediated. Some will be grass roots prevention efforts that take hold with precedent setting immediate unbelievable results! Strong lucky Jupiter in Taurus along with the Aquarian planet Uranus can rumble for change now! Uranus electrifies, awakens all, keeps change rolling. Taurus, strong as an ox, carries the Sun Disk in his horns on into the Promised Land! Hathor and Isis would approve!

The gains of Uranus’ innovative processes will be well guarded, anchored and maintained. For Taurus, it will be one wild aspect! Jupiter and Uranus are both total freedom lovers! You can tell Jupiter many hero stories of travels, but just the same, Taurus will stand his ground and may surprise you by opting to stay home. On the other hand, an unexpected sudden move may happen! Who would have thought?! Uranus takes freedom as far as he can! Jupiter and Uranus are both rather ungovernable. They will find the other way and it will most assuredly be more fun…LOL! Plan something crazy and wonderful! Up the amps on your education opportunity and stick to it! Gather your friends and build an eco friendly earth home! The results might cost more than expected, but in the long term worth every penny! Jupiter is long distance travel, and Uranus is flight, the heavens! Keep your feet on the ground and look UP! 

Jupiter intends to expand AQ matters – support genius kids, improve humanitarian relationships and networks, see unique offerings of different cultures, coordinate meetings worldwide! There may be some extraordinary atmospheric storms and winds. Those who have been ‘abandoned’ may be shocked by someone who shows up on their doorstep. Computers, planes, birds, space travel make repeated news. Publish odd commodities! Air quality is emphasized. Save the Earth! Of its kind, it will likely be an unforgettable show stopper! See more Uranus in Taurus

May 23 Jupiter sextiles Neptune at 29 Taurus/Pisces 30. Jupiter enters Gemini 2 days later, May 25.

Jupiter and Neptune have a religious and spiritual undercurrent. The will take us ‘Home!.’ The 29th degree, called the anaretic degree, the last degree of any sign, has an ending note to it, a finality, maturity, completion, a lasting achievement! Some say fate, final judgement, last chance. Neptune in his own sign Pisces has a maximum finality due to being in the last sign of the zodiac, the end of a 168 year era! Being at the gateway, there are decisions to be made. Some are hesitant; others can’t wait to be gone! There is a crucial tone to the time, now or never! All that is ‘believed’ in will soon be put into action when Neptune enters Aries March 30, 2025!

Jupiter is on a 12 year cycle, will enter Gemini immediately, on May 25! Neptune the second to outmost planet, however, is moving very slowly about to retrograde at that 29th degree on July 22, staying within a degree of the RX point until Sep 5, 3 and a 1/2 months! Due to further RXs Neptune comes back to that degree position in 2025 and ’26! Though no further exact aspects are made the degree is activated. It holds the energy of that sextile with Jupiter for 3 years! It will be more profound and long term that it first appears. Sometimes when we connect well with good aspects, we just have a good time. But if we track it, make notes, we can purposely add to it later when we know even more! If you don’t track it, you may have memories and not quite remember what it was all about.

Jupiter, the preacher and teacher, has opinions, is usually benevolent. If opinionated and judgmental, it’s a lot less fun. In Taurus change may come slowly, but surely! Dedication and patience as a teacher can be phenomenal. Neptune is still powerfully in his own sign, doesn’t move into Aries until Mar 30, 2025! His connection with Spirit is generally through mediation, a dream, a belief he has experienced deeply, uncanny music that calls us, an inner voice, a calling. Compassion and transcendence are basic. The most difficult are addiction factors. Jupiter may be the healer with alternatives that make the difference. Neptune in Pisces may show Jupiter how it is important to connect directly with ‘God’ rather than solely by old scripture, or fanciful humans, spiritual fads. Jupiter’s travels have showed him how many ways there are to get to the mountain top. Pisces has seen the invisible and has psychic perception that defies logic. Sextiles offer opportunities of compatible signs. Taurus is Earth; Pisces is Ocean water. They are the millions of miles of Shorelines of the continents. Critical attention is needed for our land – ocean connections, food and fish, to stop land toxins and debris from flowing into the ocean. It’s symbolically the connection between our body on earth and the oceanic Spirit one can’t touch or see, an ungovernable unknown that we ‘know’ and feel with every molecule of our Being.

May 25 Jupiter into Gemini while the Sun is IN Gemini! Jupiter is the Sagittarius planet; Sagittarius is Gemini’s opposite sign! Essentially we will have a combination with two minds! That’s nothing new to Gemini, but Jupiter, a rambler, is still more one pointed, like the arrow to the bullseye! Yet Gemini is multi minded and Jupiter is generally broadminded! They both have quite a bit of flex, both easily distracted, take off in a moment. But when Jupiter has purpose, he may send Gemini on a data gathering mission. If Jupiter gets a little opinionated, ironically the Gemini part of their combo may deluge him with ideas and facts that get him thinking, may expand and alter his point of view due to his own actions! Gemini also gets bored at times, but may not want to travel as far as Jupiter wants to. He may impress Jupiter that there is plenty to do right here! Jupiter says you need a bigger window to see more and they may try each other’s ways, but both will likely still be restless. They are fathomlessly curious. 

Jupiter might meander, stopping at the local university library, chatting with well known profs, while Gemini darts in for the news bytes at the nearby ever popular students’ coffee house! Students are trendsetters! Jupiter may guide, hold a larger parameter, go for the meaning of things. Gemini gathers and tracks backup data, follows the shifting moods of the people, goes for telling the latest news, giving quick inspiration. Jupiter thinks of publishing a book of the whole story of those times and location, looks for significant trends, how that will affect others later on. Together they can be dynamite as they ride both sides of the fence! 

Stories may be full of huge heroes with meaningful commissions, comic strips abound, joyful exaggerations plentiful! There will be a lot to be said, sorting wheat from chaff will be challenging! Scams, scoundrels, scandal and slander may be a plague. Keep your life clean, be transparent, stay informed, change your passwords. If you get that ‘feeling,’ check it out. Otherwise, do your breathing exercises and live BIG!

 June 2 Jupiter trines Pluto at 1 Gemini/Aquarius 53! This is considered a plentiful financial potential! Time to diversify your portfolio! Jupiter is lucky, abundance minded, is good at gauging future possibilities! Pluto is the planet of wealth, corporations, major inheritances, important insurance, behind the scenes deals! Be on the up and up, well informed, and be safe. Jupiter expands the options, preaches to and gathers the people. He educates them that they can do well too! Aquarius is a networker of renowned capability from causes to concerts! Combined with Pluto, expect phenomenal fundraising! Jupiter’s storytelling is like a magnet. It could be sports oriented or a tricky murder mystery! Jupiter wants well being and Pluto can do shamanic healing. Pluto and Aquarius are both researchers and medical history may be made. Stand up and be a part of this wonderful time! 

Pluto can rather unceremoniously end things. Sometimes, in retrospect, that is the best thing that could have ever happened. Aquarius sets you free. There can be swift recovery when that is meant to be. The unexpected comeback is so much better than what was before! Shoulda done it before ~ Let your strength of mind, faith and optimism carry you well beyond! The past is spent; no looking back. These are not average times. Let Jupiter in Gemini spread the good word. Expect to be intensely busy! Deep friendship may be a bond that could lead to a lasting marriage. 

Aug 19 Gemini Jupiter squares Pisces Saturn, the first of three times. Saturn can be down in the bilge, chronic, so Jupiter may have a hard time getting his attention. Jupiter in Gemini can be annoyingly cheerful and lack empathy to the depth of others’ fears or sorrows. Yet sometimes a distraction is a breath of fresh air. Forgot life could be good. From funny stories to the silliest jokes, a smile may come. Don’t go running away because the lights don’t come on immediately, but take a break if you need to. Saturn in Pisces gives himself to the serious needs of troubled Souls whether it be fear, abuse, addictions, abandonment. Saturn himself can get burned out. Jupiter is an expert getting people out of the zone. Gemini doesn’t usually want to go too far away, and that may be all the time and energy Saturn has, especially if the situation is critical. Make it count. Some place near and special, but not taxing would be perfect. 

Jupiter may see the great need and offer his expertise. Gemini has tons of information and can get much more. Saturn may find himself being offered support he never expected. Many people need to learn how to accept and cope with support, learn how to use it. Saturn rules fathers, bosses, elders. They can be a challenge. Show them how it works, let them adjust. Offer suggestions then let them process, checking in frequently at first. Alternate methods than they are used to take time to absorb. Pisces can be quick to assess, but due to past experiences may not trust. Give it the time it takes. The results may be nothing short of miraculous!

The second opportunity is Dec 24, 2024, followed by a very close aspect June 15, 2025.

Enjoy these powerful awesome times! The possibilities are compelling!


AstroLocality!

If your changes during 2023, 24, include moving, Jupiter in Taurus chooses land that makes him feel a connection that feels good under his feet! But with Jupiter in Taurus moves are less likely. A trailer is more likely, a home you can take with you. 

If you already moved, take a look at your AstroLocality map and Relocation Charts to see the meaning of your move and its potentials! If you haven’t picked your location yet, or have but not moved yet, you might change your mind. First, take a look at maps that show areas of conflict, drought, disasters. Conflicts take years of recovery; droughts and disasters take years of remediation. Think in terms of sustainability and a clean water supply. See your AstroLocality astrologer for advices on personal locations best for what and the best timing! Depending on your finances, be cautious about moves during retrograde periods, especially double retrogrades. If it is a necessity at a retrograde time, know that there will be further changes and factor in the costs that go with that. If you are buying a home as well, top priority may be that it is a good investment per resale value since you may change your mind about keeping it. Renting is recommended until times are more stable. With sign changes a lot of mind changing happens. The Pluto retrogrades Aquarius, Capricorn, Aquarius will be serious. Capricorn is the sign of real estate, and may give you the important information to make a wise investment.

Particularly note that late summer we are looking at heartful and hardworking Leo/Virgo Venus/Mercury DOUBLE RETROGRADE! The Venus retrograde cycle 12 to 28° Leo starts first, June 19 (the day of the Jupiter sextile Saturn – the last 2023 aspect). Venus finishes Oct 7. It is retrograde July 22 – Sep 3. Mercury starts his cycle Aug 3, finishes Sep 29, 8 to 21° Virgo 49. He is Rx Aug 23 to Sep 15. The DOUBLE RX is at back to school time, off to college, a common time to move, Aug 23 to Sep 3 (Labor Day weekend)! If moves are made then, don’t be surprised if there soon is another housing change… See the complete Timeline!

Returns! Returns are a special time when a planet orbits back to your original birth point. It reminds you of the purity of its purpose in your life. Saturn’s refreshes your outlook on your Dharma, the work of your Soul. Jupiter’s refreshes your gift of how you learn/teach and travel life! If your return is in a degree that will be in retrograde, you will have it three times.

During Leo’s year, Saturn covers 0 to 19 Pisces. Those of you with your Saturns in those degrees will be having your 28/29 year Saturn Return(s)!

If your Jupiter is 12 Taurus to 12 Gemini, you will have your 11/12 year Jupiter Return(s) in Leo’s year. 

Lunar patterns 2023-24!

New Moons: 21 and 20 degrees, Sep 14, 2023 to March 10, 2024. April 8, 2024 at 19 degrees.
Full Moons: 4 and 5 degrees, Oct 28, 2023 to April 23, 2024  

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

With Pluto’s new mission in Aquarius, retrograding back to Capricorn then returning to AQ, we will be having an intense year as we get started making significant world changes and personal changes finding our places in this new time! Pluto returning to Capricorn will update Cap and strengthen that foundation. He will bring more of Capricorn’s important worthy work of this last 14 years forward into the new auspice of Aquarius. Cap deserves the recognition. Aquarius is blessed.

Thank you, Dear Leos, for loving us always! 

Updated for each sign annually

Cancer Celestial HighLights 2023 to June 2024!.

Cancer! Moms are Everywhere, Thank Goodness!

Cancer 2023 Mom!

No matter what species you are, what race or culture you are, how old you are, a refugee or in a war zone, if you are a Mom or DaddyMama, you know that Motherhood is vital, and so do we! It is generally a lifelong mission, LOL! 

Cancers are top business people and it’s a good thing they have these skills naturally! Being a Mother is an intricate piece of machinery, sometimes more difficult than being a CEO. People you love are at stake. You can’t give orders to a helpless baby. You gotta be there no matter how they or you feel. And Cancers feel a lot! It’s not just good or bad, but a deeper psychic sensitivity as well, true organic being to being core LOVE, wanting the other’s well being from your Soul level.

Because of their intuition, they often do well in situations where communications are otherwise failing. Health is foremost, one of the toughest. Babies can’t talk, and some young kids don’t know how to explain or don’t find communications easy in strange or emergency situations. Cancers can save the day. Same with other family members that may have troubles, or elders. Your empathy and comfort alone may make things tolerable and taking action doable.  

From cradle to college you learn as much as they do. Helping with homework, library trips, keeping the computer/laptop/phone in order has become essential to keep up. Now you have to be a genius too! You can only do your best. Teens are finding their own way and some are champing at the bit wanting to grow UP NOW! Empty nest comes way too soon. Cancers are very sensitive about family and their homes. They really miss their kids. Yet part of you too can’t wait and are so proud of them! And a little scared ~ will they be ok? Did you do good enough? Please call me when you arrive…

Being a Mom is clearly not just keeping house and keeping the troops fed and clean, laundry! Cancers learn multiple tricks to save time to drive to events, attend sports practices, dance/music/arts, having overnights and visiting, vacations, and get medical care! Cancers might enjoy staying home, but they are rarely sit-still-people for long! They have initiative. Their boss knows they would take over the company if they were let to!

Single moms are true Wizards! They are residential maintenance managers, tend their vehicles, do the banking and bills, pet care, and take pictures along the way for the family album! They are multi talented and have terrific memories! Being a Mother takes a special person. They take care of emergencies and additionally mother the occasional nomad that appears by happenchance. 

Being super security minded, and often exceptionally frugal, Cancer’s finances are likely to be at the top of their list! Family inter dependencies are often tested. Who works and how much do they earn? What is done with that money? Many Cancers are lifelong scholars, so they put a good percentage in the kids’ higher education account. You may become a working Mom or run your own business, from home or be public. Insurances will have importance, for you, your home, your business. Be sure to have your Will in order for the sake of your kids. 

Burnout and exhaustion can happen. Do your best, and take some time for yourself, or see that the Cancer you love does get that rest time. You probably owe them, LOL, so do your part! They need time with other mother’s to kick back without the kids – trade time to take each other’s kids for a while, trade off driving days. Get a massage, you deserve. Read a book, visit the museum, antique shop, make some music, go to a concert or symphony! In the middle of chaos just take a deep, deep breath. 

And our kids, though they may need to go through some uppity periods, love us. Down deep, they love us. Yes, they do need to learn how to make decisions for themselves even if they are wrong. LET them find out for themselves. We want so much to protect them, but smother mothering doesn’t make them strong, just resentful. If their life is in danger, that is another matter. But start letting them find out the consequences of their decisions on the little things first, as they grow up. Let them know you trust them and that they can recover from their mistakes. Later they will listen to you more, be more thoughtful, make better decisions!

Cancers are exceptional, Mothers to all, children or no children. Their comforting, crying with you, fixing your owie, getting you through that headache, bringing you some food, is standard operating procedure for them. They have instinct that puts them there right when you need them. And they check up later to see if you need anything else, how you are doing. Sweet, right?

Blessed be to all you Cancer Super Moms, women and men! We have so much to be grateful for!

It was the last aspect of 2023! After that time there are no more sign changes or further aspects! That doesn’t mean YOU won’t have any aspects the rest of the year because the planets are still moving, just not connecting with each other in the sky! See your astrologer about your aspects.

Cancer Overview 2023 to June 2024!

2023 Cancer Kitchen by bead artist Liza Lou

Maybe this year you will take up painting or your own unique art! This treasure is by Liza Lou! She currently has a nomadic practice, working mostly outdoors in the Mojave Desert in southern California. Born in 1969, NYC.

In 1996, Liza Lou launched a highly successful international career with her exhibition of Kitchen (1991-95) at the New Museum in New York, a laboriously detailed, tongue-in-cheek re-creation of a kitchen, every inch of it covered in shimmering glass beads. Like Kitchen, much of Lou’s work is about work, and all of her sculptures, installations, and wall pieces are covered with glass beads. She explores darker themes, like endurance and the division of labor between the sexes, races, and classes, and lighter ones, like the pleasure of looking, in her work. “You are drawn in by the sheer volume of material and form and care and love,” she explains. “My work almost argues that the pleasure of looking is part of what it is to be alive.” See Liza Lou’s “Kitchen!” but do your art your way! 

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 21 years, until January 2044! See more!

After only 2.5 months in Aquarius, a mini preview, June 11 Pluto retrograded back into Capricorn, will go back to 27 Cap 53. He will return to Aquarius Jan 20, 2024 for seven plus months then again retrograde back into Capricorn for a final checkup and review before reentering Aquarius to stay! See Pluto in Aquarius     Pluto in Capricorn     Pluto’s First Six Years in Aquarius 2023 to 2028 

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. Pisces is not used to being limited or channeled or pummeled into submission by someone else’s command. 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! Either can be a blessing or an ordeal to each other, probably a little of both 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, retrogrades back into Saturn’s sign Capricorn! Saturn will guard us from having too much empathy too long, being naive and misplacing our empathy. 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 will be new in his sign for only 17 days before Pluto becomes new in Aquarius! Each will make newbie mistakes, be alternately excited or OMG, what have we gotten into, what have I done?! In the beginning trial and error will slow us down, making for tiring long days for many. Saturn in Pisces holds the visions and though sometimes down, 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. Saturn will then be 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, 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 

JUPITER entered Taurus May 16! What a shift from Aries! It will be a damper for some, while for others a rest and 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.

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 and patient 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

As signs change, talents are commingled, the Path between them becoming a usable channel. Jupiter in Pisces, Aries and Taurus 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, maintain their own life. 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! 

Planetary Aspect Portals Crater Lake Circular Rainbow

Portals are all around us.

Some are temporary, some are always there. Some are annual like the August 8 Lion’s Gate. No two are alike, take us different places. Some are one way, others are two way but perhaps only at certain intervals – you have to be there or… Some lifetimes there are none, others have several passages. And there are the portals into and out of life. In astrology these are sign changes and aspects formed between planets. 2023’s big one is Pluto’s 246 year sign change into Aquarius!

 June 19, 2023, Jupiter sextiled Saturn at 7 Pisces 12. It was the last exact aspect of 2023! After that time there are no more sign changes or further aspects! That doesn’t mean YOU won’t have any aspects the rest of the year because the planets are still moving, just not connecting with each other in the sky! See your astrologer about your aspects.

However, in the background… From 1900 through 2032, there has been only one aspect made between Neptune and Pluto! It came within effective range in the midst of World War II during 1942. Neptune sextile Pluto has a profound and exotic history! Jamie Partridge refers to it as an ‘inter-generational’ planetary aspect lasting from 1950 to 2032! In those years there are 49 exact aspects over three to four generations! Both planets have changed signs multiple times in that period. Pluto started in Leo, Neptune in Libra. Pluto has done 7 signs, now in Aquarius. Neptune has also done 7 signs, now in Aries. The sextiles finish when both are in their opposite signs from where they started. At this part of their orbits they have been traveling at speeds that have allowed them to keep the sextile aspect for 82 years! Though their last exact sextile was June 9, 1986, they have stayed in sextile, sometimes closer, sometimes further apart, until now! July 24 to Sep 15, 2026 they start exact aspects again! They make their first station, then, not missing any, they continue trough Feb 29, 2032, from 4 to 14° Aries/Aquarius! They make 13 additional exact aspects in this period! This completes the 82 years! Chart factors you have in or very close to those degrees will tap you into this sequence. 

As planets travel together, they become more like each other. Neptune and Pluto are both water planets (Pisces and Scorpio) and both have to do with transformation. Pluto transforms our bodies while Neptune transforms our Spirit. Pluto goes deep to cure the cause. Neptune pulls us to believe in the unseeable. Neptune calls Pluto to compassion. Pluto says face the facts. There is the physical doctor and if the patient doesn’t believe, they can die no matter how great the Dr is. If there is no great Dr, the patient may die no matter what he believes. Truly, we need these two to work together. We/they, have been getting better at it!

This connection is more significant now because March 23, 2023 Pluto entered Aquarius, a 246 year event! Now through 2044, 21 years, there will be significant world changes. ’26 to ’32 the remaining 13 exact sextiles with Neptune happen while Neptune is in Aries, Pluto in Aquarius. Please continue to strengthen our Aquarian and Uranian people, those factors in your own charts! 

♦ 2024!

April 20 is the first of Jupiter’s six different 2024 aspects, Jupiter conjunct Uranus in Taurus! All the aspects through June 2 happen only once, so that’s it. If they aspect your personal chart factors, be there, don’t miss the opportunities! 

As Jupiter has moved through all the signs year by year, Uranus has also moved forward! Their June 8 2010 conjunction was quite rowdy in Aries. The Pisces conjunctions late 2010, early 2011 were different. This one in Taurus will be comparatively quiet, but have dedicated and determined, solid achievement! The likes of which you have never been seen before is happening! With Pluto now in Aquarius wanting to make his mark, talk about earth changes and the astonishing networks of humanitarian people who bring them to pass, with our new ideas and the advanced technologies to make them come true, are real possibilities! Their time has come. Some may be disasters remediated. Some will be grass roots prevention efforts that take hold with precedent setting immediate unbelievable results! Strong lucky Jupiter in Taurus along with the Aquarian planet Uranus can rumble for change now! Uranus electrifies, awakens all, keeps change rolling. Taurus, strong as an ox, carries the Sun Disk in his horns on into the promised land! Hathor and Isis would approve!

The gains of Uranus’ innovative processes will be well guarded, anchored and maintained. For Taurus, it will be one wild aspect! Jupiter and Uranus are both total freedom lovers! You can tell Jupiter many hero stories of travels, but just the same, Taurus will stand his ground and may surprise you by opting to stay home. On the other hand, an unexpected sudden move may happen! Who would have thought?! Uranus takes freedom as far as he can! Jupiter and Uranus are both rather ungovernable. They will find the other way and it will most assuredly be more fun…LOL! Plan something crazy and wonderful! Up the amps on your education opportunity and stick to it! Gather your friends and build an eco friendly earth home! The results might cost more than expected, but in the long term worth every penny! Jupiter is long distance travel, and Uranus is flight, the heavens! Keep your feet on the ground and look UP! 

Jupiter intends to expand AQ matters – support genius kids, improve humanitarian relationships and networks, see unique offerings of different cultures, coordinate meetings worldwide! There may be some extraordinary atmospheric storms and winds. Those who have been ‘abandoned’ may be shocked by someone who shows up on their doorstep. Computers, planes, birds, space travel make repeated news. Publish odd commodities! Air quality is emphasized. Save the Earth! Of its kind, it will likely be an unforgettable show stopper! See more Uranus in Taurus

May 23 Jupiter sextiles Neptune at 29 Taurus/Pisces 30. Jupiter enters Gemini 2 days later, May 25.

Jupiter and Neptune have a religious and spiritual undercurrent. The will take us ‘Home!.’ The 29th degree, called the anaretic degree, the last degree of any sign, has an ending note to it, a finality, maturity, completion, a lasting achievement! Some say fate, final judgement. Neptune in his own sign Pisces has a maximum finality due to being in the last sign of the zodiac, the end of an era! Being at the gateway, there are decisions to be made. Some are hesitant; others can’t wait to be gone! There is a crucial tone to the time, now or never!

Jupiter is on a 12 year cycle while Neptune is considerably different at 168 years! Jupiter will enter Gemini immediately. Neptune however, is moving very slowly about to retrograde at that 29th degree on July 22, staying within a degree of the RX point until Sep 5, 3 and a 1/2 months! Due to further RXs Neptune comes back to that degree position in 2025 and ’26! Those times no further aspect is made with Jupiter, but the degree is activated. It holds the energy of that sextile with Jupiter for 3 years! It will be more profound and long term that it first appears. Sometimes when we connect well with good aspects, we just have a good time. But if we track it, make notes, we can purposely add to it later when we know even more! If you don’t track it, you may have memories and not quite remember what it was all about.

Jupiter, the preacher and teacher, has opinions, is usually benevolent. If opinionated and judgmental, it’s a lot less fun. In Taurus change may come slowly, but surely! Dedication and patience as a teacher can be phenomenal. Neptune is still powerfully in his own sign, doesn’t move into Aries until Mar 30, 2025! His connection with Spirit is generally through mediation, a dream, a belief he has experienced deeply, uncanny music that calls us, an inner voice. Compassion and transcendence are basic. The most difficult are addiction factors. Jupiter may be the healer with alternatives that make the difference. Neptune in Pisces may show Jupiter how it is important to connect directly with ‘God’ rather than solely by old scripture, or fanciful humans. Jupiter’s travels have showed him how many ways there are to get to the mountain top. Pisces has seen the invisible and has psychic perception that defies logic. Sextiles offer opportunities of compatible signs. Taurus is Earth; Pisces is Ocean water. They are the millions of miles of Shorelines of the continents. Critical attention is needed for our land – ocean connections, food and fish, to stop land toxins and debris from flowing into the ocean. It’s symbolically the connection between our body on earth and the oceanic Spirit one can’t touch or see, an ungovernable unknown that we ‘know’ and feel with every molecule of our Being.

May 25 Jupiter into Gemini while the Sun is IN Gemini! Jupiter is the Sagittarius planet; Sagittarius is Gemini’s opposite sign! Essentially we will have a combination with two minds! That’s nothing new to Gemini, but Jupiter, a rambler, is still more one pointed, like the arrow to the bullseye! Yet Gemini is multi minded and Jupiter is generally broadminded! They both have quite a bit of flex, both easily distracted, take off in a moment. But when Jupiter has purpose, he may send Gemini on a data gathering mission. If Jupiter gets a little opinionated, ironically the Gemini part of their combo may deluge him with ideas and facts that get him thinking, may expand and alter his point of view due to his own actions! Gemini also gets bored at times, but may not want to travel as far as Jupiter wants to. He may impress Jupiter that there is plenty to do right here! Jupiter says you need a bigger window to see more and they may try each other’s ways, but both will likely still be restless. They are fathomlessly curious. 

Jupiter might meander, stopping at the local university library, chatting with well known profs, while Gemini darts in for the news bites at the nearby ever popular students’ coffee house! Students are trendsetters! Jupiter may guide, hold a larger parameter, go for the meaning of things. Gemini gathers and tracks backup data, follows the shifting moods of the people, goes for telling the latest news, giving quick inspiration. Jupiter thinks of publishing a book of the whole story of those times and location, looks for significant trends, how that will affect others later on. Together they can be dynamite as they ride both sides of the fence! 

June 2 Jupiter trines Pluto at 1 Gemini/Aquarius 53! This is considered a plentiful financial potential! Jupiter is lucky, abundance minded, is good at gauging future possibilities! Pluto is the planet of wealth, corporations, major inheritances, important insurance, behind the scenes deals! Be on the up and up, be safe. Jupiter expands the options, preaches to and gathers the people. He educates them that they can do well too! Aquarius is a networker of renowned capability from causes to concerts! Combined with Pluto, expect phenomenal fundraising! Jupiter’s storytelling is like a magnet. It could be sports oriented. Jupiter wants well being and Pluto can do shamanic healing. Pluto and Aquarius are both researchers and medical history may be made. Stand up and be a part of this wonderful time! 

Pluto can rather unceremoniously end things. Sometimes, in retrospect, that is the best thing that could have ever happened. Aquarius sets you free. There can be swift recovery when that is meant to be. The unexpected comeback is so much better than what was before! Shoulda done it before ~ Let your strength of mind, faith and optimism carry you well beyond! These are not average times. Let Jupiter in Gemini spread the good word. Expect to be intensely busy! Deep friendship may be a bond that could lead to a lasting marriage.

Enjoy these powerful awesome times! The possibilities are compelling!


AstroLocality!

If your changes during 2023, 24, include moving, Jupiter in Taurus chooses land that makes him feel a connection that feels good under his feet! But with Jupiter in Taurus moves are less likely. A trailer is more likely, a home you can take with you. 

If you already moved, take a look at your AstroLocality map and Relocation Charts to see the meaning of your move and its potentials! If you haven’t picked your location yet, or have but not moved yet, you might change your mind. First, take a look at maps that show areas of conflict, drought, disasters. Conflicts take years of recovery; droughts and disasters take years of remediation. Think in terms of sustainability and a clean water supply. See your AstroLocality astrologer for advices on personal locations best for what and the best timing! Depending on your finances, be cautious about moves during retrograde periods, especially double retrogrades. If it is a necessity at a retrograde time, know that there will be further changes and factor in the costs that go with that. If you are buying a home as well, top priority may be that it is a good investment per resale value since you may change your mind about keeping it. Renting is recommended until times are more stable. With sign changes a lot of mind changing happens. The Pluto retrogrades Aquarius, Capricorn, Aquarius will be serious. Capricorn is the sign of real estate, and may give you the important information to make a wise investment.

Particularly note that late summer we are looking at heartful and hardworking Leo/Virgo Venus/Mercury DOUBLE RETROGRADE! The Venus retrograde cycle 12 to 28° Leo starts first, June 19 (the day of the Jupiter sextile Saturn – the last 2023 aspect). Venus finishes Oct 7. It is retrograde July 22 – Sep 3. Mercury starts his cycleAug 3, finishes Sep 29, 8 to 21° Virgo 49. He is Rx Aug 23 to Sep 15. The DOUBLE RX is at back to school time, off to college, a common time to move, Aug 23 to Sep 3 (Labor Day weekend)! If moves are made then, don’t be surprised if there soon is another housing change…See the complete Timeline!

Returns! Returns are a special time when a planet orbits back to your original birth point. It reminds you of the purity of its purpose in your life. Saturn’s refreshes your outlook on your Dharma, the work of your Soul. Jupiter’s refreshes your gift of how you learn/teach and travel life! If your return is in a degree that will be in retrograde, you will have it three times.

During Cancer’s year, Saturn covers 0 to 19 Pisces. Those of you with your Saturns in those degrees will be having your 28/29 year Saturn Return(s)!

If your Jupiter is 5 Taurus to 6 Gemini, you will have your 11/12 year Jupiter Return(s) in Cancer’s year. 

Lunar patterns 2023-24!

New Moons: 21 and 20 degrees, Sep 14, 2023 to March 10, 2024. April 8, 2024 at 19 degrees.
Full Moons: 4 and 5 degrees, Oct 28, 2023 to April 23, 2024  

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

With Pluto’s new mission in Aquarius, retrograding back to Capricorn then returning to AQ, we will be having an intense year as we get started making significant world changes and personal changes finding our places in this new time! Pluto returning to Capricorn will update Cap and strengthen that foundation. He will bring more of Capricorn’s important worthy work of this last 14 years forward into the new auspice of Aquarius. Cap deserves the recognition. Aquarius is blessed.

Thank you, Dear Cancers, for loving us always! 

Updated for each sign annually

Gemini Celestial HighLights 2023 to May 2024!.

Gemini! Helping Hands, Healing Hearts, Breath of Life!

Gemini 2023 Helping Hands Healing Hearts Breath of Life!

Hands in prayer held over our hearts, feeling the breathing of wholeness. We wish each other well in every moment, every connection. We don’t even have to understand. Every person’s story is sacred. We don’t have to like them. Each has divine purpose. It isn’t always easy. We always need to take care of ourselves. We have our own special quota and quantity, a personal balance we must learn. Every athlete, wilderness adventurer, find their limits. All animals and plants can do what they do but not other things. We all have our specialties we offer. Even the Gods had their prime talents. And so it is. We are not bored when we share common goals, each contributing their own special gifts. It’s an honor. It takes a village.  

Healing hearts can be a tender business. It is one thing to save the world, another to save ourselves, and yet another to let ourselves be healed. We learn how to really listen. Anyone can chatter when they don’t know what to say or are afraid what you might say. Being quiet to hear may take all our strength. Are you listening to hear the words or what the words mean in their heart? In some cultures fear can be a taboo so we speak around it. For some not admitting fear is a defense for having grown up in a dangerous circumstance. Learning how to communicate clearly and exactly may be one of the hardest things they ever learn. Listening heartfully and communicating with kindness and clarity are talents of high order. 

Some were born with communications graces, others have genuine disabilities. It’s like an emotional dyslexia. Feelings and words get turned around. It can be mistaken for being stupid, stubborn, or anger when they know something is just wrong and can’t get to the words ‘give me some time, I really want to tell you but I don’t know what it is yet.’ Word clever Geminis can sometimes ‘see’ there is an unspeakable matter and gently query, make a person feel comfortable. In time the words of the other may come. Big differences can scare people and they all may have to get used to each other.

The Heart and Lungs are vital, are intertwined next to each other in our chest cavities. Gemini is the first Air Sign, rules our breath of life, officiated by our Lungs! Dr. Albert Rizzo, the American Lung Association’s Chief Medical Officer sayes “Unfortunately, the cardiovascular (heart) and respiratory (lungs) systems are so connected that, if either one has a problem, it may also cause the other to fail.” If we feel unloved, for example, we may be so depressed we often don’t get exercise, don’t breathe as well and supply the heart with oxygen and the strength it needs. 

Gemini’s are vulnerable to upper respiratory infections – pneumonia, bronchitis, and asthma. Not being able to breathe is frightening. Gemini also rules our entire nervous system and brain. If we have too much stress, and we slump over our chest, not getting the deep breathing we need. More rest, getting light exercise helps us get a restart. Quality food and balanced nutrition is vital to get our chemical synapses and electricity back in order. That is essential so our body can communicate fully with itself and us with our brain in turn.

Gemini rules our hands as well. Another form of healing is the laying on of hands, touch healing. Acupuncture clears and stimulates nerve centers. Reiki works with energy centers. When we touch someone there is an unspoken statement of faith that you are ok to touch, worth ‘saving.’ Getting a Massage is a whole body statement. Doing something beautiful and creative with our hands, like calligraphy, Hawaiian hula story telling, wearing symbolic jewelry or rings is a form of reaching out, giving inspiration. Tennis is a good active sport that extends energy from our lungs through our arms and hands and body. Running gets oxygen throughout our body and mind. Media is a major multitude of art forms collectively spreading the news of mind and Spirit! In relationships an old Celtic form of marriage was called handfasting. Throughout time we have clasped wrists indicating joining forces. Today we shake hands as a business affirmation honoring an important agreement, then sign the contracts with our hands!   

Gemini’s, as twins, have a head start on multiple personalities! Have a conversation with the many worthy selves within you, as closely as if you were Twins! Have conversations with others in the same closely divine way. We are all multiple personalities! All precious. I like Ram Dass’s words (Mercury Taurus sextile Venus Pisces) ~ We are all just walking each other home. That’s how close in heart we want to be, each a Pilgrim on the Path together. 

Palm to palm, heart to heart, breath by breath, spread the good Word! We are a universe of fine complexity sourcing from a bank of biodiverse knowledge like never before!

Geminis we couldn’t do it without you. Thank you.

Gemini Overview 2023 to May 2024!

2023 Gemini Running for a Cause!

Geminis are terrific runners! Running for a Cause is not necessarily about winners; they are ALL WINNERS!  Wherever you go this year, see if you can coordinate with a run for your Cause! Photo by Capstone Events on Unsplash

Five Reasons to Run for a Cause: Raise much-needed funds. Raise awarenessPay it forward. Get inspired and inspire others. It feels good! Quite simply it feels good to do good! This run was a 5K Run or walk in Lackawaxen (Swift River) PA in behalf of gifts for seniors.

Gemini rules our breath. As you breathe in, receive all the goodness into your molecules. Let your body web of nerves carry it throughout to open your channels, enliven your synapses. Do your stretches. Reach for the sky. As you breathe out, squeeze out any toxins, sorrows, disappointments. All in good time healing occurs at all levels in all ways. Each time you practice go deeper. Follow this set with breathing out all the goodness into the ethers to share with all beings – comfort, healing, teaching, inspiration, your blessing.

Breathing is our ultimate communication with life itself. Our daily spoken words require our breath. Our thinking and attention require our breath. Our hands focus the energy of our breath, especially when doing touch healing. We create with our hands guided by our complete system of being. Silence is attended by our breathing that we may connect with Spirit and be true to our Soul.

Mind your mind. Give it rest. Meditate, even if only for a few moments. Do exercise that makes you happy, for good health. Choose locations for quality air, air flow to stimulate your brain. Eat well so not to suffocate your body’s chemical attention. Stay sharp! Keep your intentional priorities and review and update frequently. 

As Gemini ends this year, there is a nice build up to Cancer! Galactic New Moon June 17, Father’s Day 18,  Juneteenth and Jupiter sextile Saturn 19, lands us at Summer Solstice, Lithia, Sun in Cancer the 21st! Stay Galactic! Charge the baton and pass it to Cancer to carry on the next lap!


2023 features Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto Sign Changes, Super Portal Pluto’s 246 year entry into Aquarius, retrograde back into Capricorn. And, like 2022, makes only 3 outer Planet aspects, only once each, in the first part of the year, all by Jupiter. All the sign changes and the last aspect are made by June 19, and then there is NO other action! Probably the intensity of Pluto’s sign change is enough!

That doesn’t mean YOU won’t have any aspects the rest of the year because the planets are still moving; it’s just that they are not connecting with each other!    

Pluto is now 0 degree Aquarius! He is merely taking a preliminary peek into Aquarius as his first venture in his new sign. He retrogrades May 1, Beltane, at 0 AQ 21, that’s less than half a degree into AQ! He is returning to Capricorn June 11, carrying the seeds of AQ with him. He goes back to Capricorn to review, update in context of Aquarian findings, and bring the appropriate Cap benefits forward into AQ now that he knows more about Aquarius. This is an important cross sign retrograde. 

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 21 years, until January 2044! See more!

  • Pluto in Aquarius will bring a new time. Pluto is water sign Scorpio’s planet and Pluto and air sign 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 used to going it alone and having plenty of behind the scenes power, but Aquarius may be calling on the pantheon that collectively has more power than Pluto and his corporations! Transparency is called for. 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 synthesize for mutual goals. They will do fundraising like never seen before! Pluto may gather the world’s top wealthy humanitarians and sustainable advocates and make governments of countries look small by comparison. Since these groups will have no governmental constraints, they may bring the world together when governments couldn’t. By comparison, the financially unsupported United Nations may become passé, or it’s possible, its structure already in place, may be revitalized! Comprehensive large scale inventor/researcher work could do very well to sustain and amplify their efforts.
  • All the Aquarian flavored aspects we had in 2021, early 2022, gave us a head start. We’ll do Pluto in Aquarius better! Pluto was last in Aquarius 246 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 246 years ago we now have bombs, climate change, had a pandemic, have electronic communication, robotics, and a helluva a lot more people on the planet. In the 1700s there were an estimated 603M, at the end of 2021, 7.9B. Water and weather wars are possible. Actually, water wars are already starting – pollution prevention, Detroit, Standing Rock. We need to reassess our mandates for leadership – age and both physical and mental health. There are going to be some bumps. Some say, after the kinks are worked out, there will be a ‘Golden Age!’ Make it so. Or maybe that would be just toooo boring and other things will happen, LOL! Next! Evolution is no quitter!
  • Young people born around 2003 will be about 20 in March 2023 and from 20 until they are 41, they will live this period. Their lives will be about this world changing time. Help them now. Prepare them to be strong and steady leaders. Strengthen everything Aquarius in your life. Capricorn will care for them, raise them, teach them life skills, put them to work. Show them the ways of the world. They will be able to maintain, live sustainably even in hard times and will teach their own children the important principles and skills of their time.
  • We need to strengthen our Aquarian young people, our future leaders, and all Aquarians all the time! Pluto is tough on the sign it is in and at the same time empowers them! Pluto’s sign Scorpio squares, challenges Aquarius, so Pluto will be especially tense in Aquarius in the beginning. Growing pains take strength. Take time to listen, cheer them on. Admire their broad scope, how they get teams going, their care for humanity and our planet, their inventions and science. Help them know how to carry on even when they are not appreciated or understood. They are so intelligent, ahead of their time. They know that not everyone will understand their work, yet the work needs doing. Reassure them they will get better at it.
  • Preparation is still needed. We are just barely peeking into the first half degree! The work for Pluto entering Aquarius has taken steady dedication, staying focused. Everything about how groups and friendships work, even now the Souls who can do this need to be gathered and trained and to practice, establish seed networks. The importance and techniques of research, knowing how change is brought about successfully, are the goals. The foundation needs to be set. It has been and will continue to be explored, tested and trialed by Saturn in the remaining time until the shift, and while Pluto is initially in Aquarius. 

Pluto is a water planet whose sign Scorpio sextiles Capricorn and Pluto has been in Capricorn since 2008, will be off and on through 2024, 16 years! Pluto and Capricorn are very business minded, Capricorn at the counter, Pluto behind the scenes. They know how to work together. There have been losses and gains, dark sadness and amazing successes celebrated! See Pluto in Capricorn There will be a substantial foundation in place when Pluto goes into Aquarius. Since Saturn, Capricorn’s planet, has been in Aquarius since 2020, new techniques and networks are already in place for Pluto in Aquarius to step into. See Saturn in Aquarius Pluto will take over, and like a new president, will select his own cabinet team. Changes will be made. Pluto will make Aquarius more powerful. Some irreparable mistakes will be made, but learning in genius Aquarius will go quicker than lightning! Pluto is intense and extreme at times, gets to the bottom of things, so reboots will be quick too! Unlike his usual self, his new obsession will be deeper friendships than ever before and more of them, powerful networking! New expectations will be beyond remarkable.  

Pluto guards many secrets, financial status, the privacy of a patients’ well being often depends on it. Capricorn understands business confidentiality and research protection. He is all for Pluto wanting you to be stabilized within yourself, heal the cause of troubles, be able to protect yourself and maintain your gains. Your new life will be so busy. Pluto/Scorpio is the Kundalini fire within, ignited at the threshold. It represents transformation and its release! Many will be coming out of the darkness, happy to be here! Newborn babes. Capricorn will be called on to organize the recruits! He will be his best self, full of vim and vigor! He puts it all to work with a delighted saucy grin on his face! The best is yet to come, of course!

Aquarius and Capricorn are both flying high! Aquarius does the research; Capricorn manages the backup team and inaugurates some of his own! Aquarius is in the plane; Capricorn is likely on the ground, in the control tower, assuring all the materials are ordered, gathered and arrive when and where needed. The cause is righteous and the more people the merrier! Pluto has seen this happen before, loves the intensity, lets them go on intuition. They are on their way on the rails, their own momentum carrying them forward! Invention after invention will inspire them onward, each begetting the next! Pluto will step in if needed.

Evolution continues. Some go kicking and screaming. Others are happily screaming on that roller coaster on their way to glory!

SATURN All of 2022 Saturn was in Aquarius and was until March 7 2023. Saturn, Capricorn’s builder planet, brought oddly variable Aquarian talents together, has built extraordinary resource consulting networks. He has tapped connections, made astute changes quickly, grabbed them while they were available. Keeping up with the times, the changes have enhanced Saturn business immeasurably! Saturn is generally a more serious end game planet. Necessity and timeliness are important. This work has preceded Pluto’s shift into Aquarius, laying the foundation for that transition  

Saturn in Aquarius is semi sextile, neighboring, his own sign Capricorn! He is bringing the Capricorn building skills to bear on Aquarian research and the long term plans of futurist Aquarius. In Pisces March 7, 2023 to May 24, 2025, and again later while retrograde, Saturn sextiles Capricorn. He will be adeptly building the dreams many of us have long been anticipating! 

Capricorn is the high mountain sign. Saturn is Capricorn’s planet, a natural connection with Saturn in Aquarius, the sign after Capricorn! AQ is high elevation cold air, brisk and refreshing. They both like the challenge of discovery, icy winter sports – skating and skiing, freedom! Some neighboring signs, like Cap and AQ get along more easily than others. At times both are accused of being aloof, Capricorn because he is often the ‘cold hearted’ boss, and AQ because he is genius smart – bored and not always understood, thrives on being alone, uninterrupted in the work of the Universe, or game playing on his computer, LOL! They may more seek each other’s company because they are in similar, sometimes related work, building the bones of society in a new world order. They may be coworkers, could become friends. Aquarius tolerates odd differences, and Capricorn may feel more comfortable with this non judgmental person that has a few quirks of his own. Aquarius is useful to Capricorn, inventing what is needed on the fly! Capricorn keeps AQ in line and together they make fine networks. Sciences and research may bring wonderful offerings, especially regarding elder health and longevity, cryogenics. Aquarius is happy to see his work being put into good use. Saturn in Aquarius  

Saturn’s entry into Pisces March 7, 2023 preceded Jupiter’s conjunction with Chiron in Aries March 11 and the entire Gemini Mars retrograde cycle ending March 16. They all have led to Pluto’s entry into Aquarius March 23! That will be a challenging time of unknowns, demanding circumstances, a combination of soothing the wild, maintaining a stable foundation of many years in the making, and facing outright rebellion! For some it will be an explosion of consciousness! Some will be tightly perched on the abyss vowing to never let go. If it doesn’t activate your chart in any way at that time, you may wonder why all the fuss? Your turn will come.

Saturn in Pisces, the last sign of the Zodiac, will be a time of reckoning as well as maturity and completion. The dreams of all the signs will merge and become collective desire, an ultimate responsibility. 

Compared with Pisces’ sensitivity, Saturn can seem to be a brutally blunt instrument. Pisces is not used to being limited or channeled or pummeled into submission by someone else’s command. 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! Either can be a blessing or an ordeal to each other, probably a little of both 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 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 into Aquarius. Saturn will guard us from having too much empathy too long, being naive and misplacing our empathy. 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 will be new in his sign for only 17 days before Pluto becomes new in Aquarius! Each will make newbie mistakes, be alternately excited or OMG, what have we gotten into, what have I done?! In the beginning trial and error will slow us down, making for tiring long days for many. Saturn in Pisces holds the visions and though sometimes down, 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. Saturn will then be 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, 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 

JUPITER, the planet of travel and education, changes signs in the 12 months to come. He sped through all of Aries in record time, less than 5 months, and May 16 entered Taurus! What a shift this is! It will be a damper for some, while for others a rest and 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.

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 and patient 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

As signs change, talents are commingled, the Path between them becoming a usable channel. Jupiter in Pisces, Aries and Taurus 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, maintain their own life. 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! 

Planetary Aspect Portals Crater Lake Circular Rainbow

Portals are all around us.

Some are temporary, some are always there. Some are annual like the August 8 Lion’s Gate. No two are alike, take us different places. Some are one way, others are two way but perhaps only at certain intervals – you have to be there or… Some lifetimes there are none, others have several passages. And there are the portals into and out of life. In astrology these are sign changes and aspects formed between planets. 2023’s big one is Pluto’s 246 year sign change into Aquarius!

Jupiter makes three 2023 planetary aspects. All three are once only, no retrograde second and third chances. The first aspect, Jupiter conjunct Chiron, was significantly just days before Pluto shifted into Aquarius. The first was while Jupiter was in Aries. The last two are while Jupiter is in Taurus. The last one is after Pluto returns to review Capricorn, a hugely different context than Aquarius! Jupiter sextiles Saturn, Capricorn’s planet. It is a Soul seeking Taurus/Pisces aspect in a new times reality for Capricorn… 

3) June 19, Jupiter in Taurus sextiles Saturn in Pisces is the last aspect of 2023! After that time there are no more sign changes or further aspects! That doesn’t mean YOU won’t have any aspects the rest of the year because the planets are still moving; it’s just that they are not connecting with each other!

Now that the initial challenging square with Pluto has passed, Jupiter will speed up Taurus. Taurus will likely absorb some of Jupiter’s action and translate it to more solid application, actually getting more done. There will be less time for running around, running away. Taurus will be intrigued with some of Jupiter’s thinking and broader perspectives. In Taurus, Jupiter may find a longing to return to the land of his forbears. It is a natural homing instinct for grounding and centering. Ley Lines may take on an unexpected significance. A journey may be made along a path that many have taken. As each Pilgrim travels over the ground, a fraction of their scent is left, an imprint added to all the others of before, compelling the Pilgrim to follow. The content of the scent shifts and the purpose of the destination changes with the times as the content is altered. The collective scent alters the collective consciousness of the most recent travelers. We all are walking through time together.

With Saturn, the Capricorn planet, opportunities will be put to good use and tempered through time. Saturn in Pisces will ‘read’ the Pisces dreamtime and Pisces will lead him through these remarkable channels. He will incorporate the wisdom of Saturn elders on the Path and the infinite Pisces insights to beyond the Jupiter destination! It will be more productive than ever expected!    

Definitely time for more options and opportunities. Jupiter’s manner may be a bit ‘big’ for Taurus’s peaceful style, but the ideas are intriguing. Whether stock or plants, the two can work out what breeds and varieties make sense. Taurus will need to hear and hands on test how the ideas can be implemented. Saturn and Taurus, both earthy, work well together. Taurus grows the food, landscapes. Saturn looks for workable shelter and building locations, builds the greenhouse, backs up with current research and in Pisces, secures the water situation. Business can improve steadily. With Pisces visions and sensitivity, they are guided gently to open up to working intricately together. Jupiter is good at teaching and the whole crew will be on board, especially when the results start coming in. 

Saturn likes Jupiter’s far sighted long term plans, expansive steady financial growth in Taurus. Saturn, like Taurus, is conservative and protective, provides a realistic framework for managing funds, secures or builds structures for homes and business that will last, ie those sustainable tiny homes or ADUs – Accessory Dwelling Units! Pisces and Capricorn’s planet Saturn, water and earth, dreamer and worker, will aspire to building a temple of life and spirit, and it will draw pilgrims from afar. Pisces looks at Soul matters. Jupiter will be the preacher! Saturn is quite happy that Jupiter is an action oriented fire planet, no supervision needed – just keep it interesting so Jupiter doesn’t wander off! Greater meaning makes the work they do important to many more people. It insures a deep connection of Spirit that is as well a blessing to their life work, careers and business, to say nothing of their health. There is great promise. See more

 2024!

April 20 is the first of Jupiter’s six different 2024 aspects, Jupiter conjunct Uranus in Taurus!

As Jupiter has moved through all the signs year by year, Uranus has also moved forward! Their June 8 2010 conjunction was quite rowdy in Aries. This one in Taurus will be quieter, but dedicated and determined, solid achievement! The gains of Uranus’ innovative processes will be well guarded, anchored and maintained. But for Taurus, it will be one wild aspect! Jupiter and Uranus are both total freedom lovers! You can tell Jupiter many hero stories of travels, but just the same, Taurus will stand his ground and may surprise you by opting to stay home. On the other hand, an unexpected sudden move may happen! Who would have thought?! Uranus takes freedom as far is it will go! Jupiter and Uranus are both rather ungovernable. They will find the other way and it will most assuredly be more fun…LOL! Plan something crazy and wonderful! Up the amps on your education opportunity and stick to it! Gather your friends and build an eco friendly earth home! The results might cost more than expected, but in the long term worth every penny! Jupiter is long distance travel, and Uranus is flight, the heavens! Keep your feet on the ground and look UP!

May 23 Jupiter sextiles Neptune at 29 Taurus/Pisces 30. Jupiter enters Gemini 2 days later, May 25.

Jupiter and Neptune have a religious and spiritual undercurrent. The 29th degree, called the anaretic degree, the last degree of any sign, has an ending note to it, a finality, maturity, completion, a lasting achievement! Some say fate, final judgement. Neptune in his own sign Pisces has a maximum finality due to being in the last sign of the zodiac, the end of an era! Being at the close of the gate, there are decisions to be made. Some are hesitant, others can’t wait to be gone! There is a crucial tone to the time, now or never!

Jupiter is on a 12 year cycle while Neptune is considerably different at 168 years! Jupiter will enter Gemini immediately. Neptune however, is moving very slowly about to retrograde at that 29th degree on July 22, staying within a degree of the RX point until Sep 5, 3 and a 1/2 months! Due to further RXs Neptune comes back to that degree position in 2025 and ’26! Those times no further aspect is made with Jupiter, but the degree is activated. It holds the energy of that sextile with Jupiter for 3 years! It will be more profound and long term that it first appears. Sometimes when we connect well with good aspects, we just have a good time. But if we track it, make notes, we can purposely add to it later when we know even more! If you don’t track it, you may have memories and not quite remember what it was all about.

Jupiter, the preacher and teacher, has opinions, is usually benevolent. If opinionated and judgmental, it’s a lot less fun. In Taurus change may come slowly, but surely! Dedication and patience as a teacher can be phenomenal. Neptune is still powerfully in his own sign, doesn’t move into Aries until Mar 30, 2025! His connection with Spirit is generally through mediation, a dream, a belief he has experienced deeply, uncanny music that calls us, an inner voice. Compassion and transcendence are basic. The most difficult are addiction factors. Jupiter may be the healer with alternatives that make the difference. Neptune in Pisces may show Jupiter how it is important to connect directly with ‘God’ rather than solely by old scripture. Each has a broad spectrum. Jupiter’s travels have showed him how many ways there are to get to the mountain top. Pisces has seen the invisible and has psychic perception that defies logic. Sextiles offer opportunities of compatible signs. Taurus is Earth, Pisces is Ocean water, the millions of miles of  Shorelines of the continents. It’s symbolically the connection between our body on earth and the oceanic Spirit one can’t touch or see, an ungovernable unknown that we ‘know.’

May 25 Jupiter into Gemini while the Sun is IN Gemini! Jupiter is the Sagittarius planet; Sagittarius is Gemini’s opposite sign! Essentially we will have a combination with two minds! That’s nothing new to Gemini, but Jupiter is more one pointed, like the arrow to the bullseye! Yet Gemini is multi minded and Jupiter is generally broadminded! They both have quite a bit of flex, both easily distracted, take off in a moment. But when Jupiter has purpose, he may send Gemini on a data gathering mission. If Jupiter gets a little opinionated, ironically the Gemini part of their combo may deluge him with ideas and facts that get him thinking, may expand and alter his point of view due to his own actions! Gemini also gets bored at times, but may not want to travel as far as Jupiter wants to. He may impress Jupiter that there is plenty to do right here! Jupiter says you need a bigger window to see more and they may try each others’ ways, but both will likely still be restless. They are fathomlessly curious. 

Jupiter might meander, stopping at the local university library, chatting with well known profs, while Gemini darts in for the news bites at the nearby popular students’ coffee house! Students are the trendsetters! Jupiter may guide, hold a larger parameter, go for the meaning of things. Gemini gathers and tracks backup data, follows the shifting moods of the people, goes for telling the latest news. Jupiter thinks of publishing a book of the whole story of those times and location, looks for significant trends, how that will affect others. Together they can be dynamite as they ride both sides of the fence! 

Enjoy these powerful intense times! The possibilities are compelling!

 

 


The Galactic Center, Fixed Star Algol and Planet Pluto!

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

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

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

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

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

Pluto retrogrades May 1 at 0 AQ 21 and moves only 3° a year. Pluto retrogrades back and forth through the degrees as it travels. 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. Pluto has been having the Algol experience, and is one of the few who can stand up under this trial. Very luckily, the trine is the most favorable angle, so though not unscathed, he survives. Both Pluto and Algol are respected and incur life and death situations. One hopes the trine bends the relationship with Algol to a more satisfactory outcome. Earth signs, like Capricorn, especially being the last Earth sign, are a bit ‘indelible.’ Their effects are more long lasting. Keep turning the tables on Algol’s bad rep. Stay calm in the face of violence, even your own anger. Shift your connections so better can happen. Know your rights and choose safety unless/even if you are trying to save someone’s life. If you are the offender, get all the help you can to change. Many a fine leader has come from a dark place. See more!

As to that great fierce feminine troublemaker Algol in Taurus, Capricorn is in a favorable working trine. Capricorn is rather invincible himself, gets stronger as he gets older! He too is protective, so has empathy and a very respectful rapport. Capricorn knows power when he sees it, and knows to engage carefully. Algol may find it intriguing that Capricorn may want to renovate some long standing troubles into viable situations. She doesn’t have to scare this one. He has had troubles of his own, and pulled himself up. He is a natural hard worker. Their mutual satisfaction may bring amazing laughter, loosening some of her age old pain and some of his, more recent. There is hope against the odds!

Capricorn is the neighboring sign just beyond Sagittarius, the Galactic Center’s own sign! He has watched the GC’s mighty strides all his life. In fact, some of that huge well of information has always been a part of him. Without much ado, many Capricorns have phenomenal insights and successes. They work and work and work, inspired by what they know can happen. Cap learns early what his boundaries are, and generally doesn’t overstep his position. They really are not to be underestimated. They are masters of their trades, fine mentors. They take strong parental, family and community responsibility. 

♦♦ When Pluto is in Aquarius, some think Pluto will be getting a bit beyond the range considered to have effect for these types of aspects. But. The GC has an enormous range, Aquarius, the sign of the heavens, is by nature resonant to the Galaxy. I would still allow for their connection. Sagittarius is a mighty traveler, no distance too far, and Aquarius is the sign of flight. Easy travels for them and a huge range of knowledge passes between them. That gets shared by Sagittarius stories and teaching, and through the Aquarian electric computer humanitarian networking! There will be fewer strangers on the planet. We will ‘know’ each other, be fellow travelers – Sagittarius and friends – Aquarius. Our hearts and minds will be expanded. Pluto keeps thing clean and clear, heals the deeper schisms that occur in our fears, the deepest dark roots corners that have been in our memories for centuries. A true freedom and unity become possible.  

So, when Pluto is in Aquarius, some will still consider PL to still be trine Algol, called an out-of-sign trine. Aquarius and Taurus are not famously easy together. They are fixed signs, in spite of AQ being the sign of r/evolutionary change! Each has strong opinions, Taurus usually quieter about it; Aquarius making headlines! When they get along, Taurus rules grounding, while AQ rules the heavens, Heaven and Earth! In their own ways each stable, but they sure have different vantage points! Taurus is growing veggies while AQ is out gallivanting in behalf of the planet. Taurus calms Aquarius and supports his sorties. AQ knows there is someone to come home to that accepts him, is patient, sensible, dependable, and AQ trusts. Aquarius keeps Taurus up on the latest and fully spices his life. Geometrically, they are trine, a favorable aspect, so there are differences, but their ‘heavenly’ relationship is to their favor.

AstroLocality!

If your changes during 2023, 24, include moving, you are or will be truly on Jupiter in Aries time through May 16! Jupiter is location; Aries is new! He feels refreshed when on that land. It’s a springboard! Jupiter in Taurus chooses land that makes him feel a connection that feels good under his feet! But with Jupiter in Taurus moves are less likely. A trailer is more likely, a home you can take with you. 

If you already moved, take a look at your AstroLocality map and Relocation Charts to see the meaning of your move and its potentials! If you haven’t picked your location yet, or have but not moved yet, you might change your mind. First, take a look at maps that show areas of conflict, drought, disasters. Conflicts take years of recovery; droughts and disasters take years of remediation. Think in terms of sustainability and a clean water supply. See your AstroLocality astrologer for advices on personal locations best for what and the best timing! Depending on your finances, be cautious about moves during 2023 Mercury and Venus retrograde periods, especially their double retrograde time. If it is a necessity at a retrograde time, know that there will be further changes and factor in the costs that go with that. If you are buying a home as well, top priority may be that it is a good investment per resale value since you may change your mind about keeping it. Renting is recommended until times are more stable. With the Jupiter sign change in May, and the Saturn and Pluto changes in March, a lot of mind changing will be happening. Also, Pluto retrogrades back into Capricorn June 11 through Jan 2024.

Particularly note that late summer we are looking at heartful and hardworking Leo/Virgo Venus/Mercury DOUBLE RETROGRADE! The Venus retrograde cycle 12 to 28 Leo starts first, June 19 (the day of the Jupiter sextile Saturn – the last 2023 aspect). Venus finishes Oct 7. It is retrograde July 22 – Sep 3. Mercury starts his cycle Aug 3, finishes Sep 29, 8 to 21 Virgo 49. He is Rx Aug 23 to Sep 15. The DOUBLE RX is at back to school time, off to college, a common time to move, Aug 23 to Sep 3 (Labor Day weekend)! Don’t be surprised if there soon is another housing change… See more, Item 2) at this link!

Returns! Returns are a special time when a planet orbits back to your original birth point. It reminds you of the purity of its purpose in your life. Saturn’s refreshes your outlook on your Dharma, the work of your Soul. Jupiter’s refreshes your gift of how you learn/teach and travel life! If your return is in a degree that will be in retrograde, you will have it three times.

During Taurus’ year, Saturn covers 4 to 15 Pisces. Those of you with your Saturns in those degrees will be having your 28/29 year Saturn Return(s)!

If your Jupiter is 23 Aries, to 21 Taurus, you will have your 11/12 year Jupiter Return(s) in Gemini’s year. 

Lunar patterns 2023-24!

New Moons: 21 and 20 degrees, Sep 14, 2023 to March 10, 2024. April 8, 2024 at 19 degrees.
Full Moons: 4 and 5 degrees, Oct 28, 2023 to April 23, 2024  

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

With Pluto’s new mission in Aquarius, retrograding back to Capricorn then returning to AQ, we will be having an intense year as we get started making significant world changes and personal changes finding our places in this new time! Pluto returning to Capricorn will update Cap and strengthen that foundation. He will bring more of Capricorn’s important worthy work of this last 14 years forward into the new auspice of Aquarius. Cap deserves the recognition. Aquarius is blessed. Thank you to all you Gemini’s for keeping the communications channels humming!

Keep the Word, Gemini!

Updated for each sign annually

Pluto Newly into Aquarius, Jupiter into Taurus!

Taurus Celestial HighLights, Timeline, Overview!.

Keep your feet on the ground, your Spirit in the Sky!

Taurus, 2023’s third most important Sign after Aquarius and Aries!

2023 Taurus Feet Ground Spirit Sky Permaculture Josh Davis

Permaculture for Schools, image by Josh Davis! From Cumberland, British Columbia, Canada, Josh has a background in sustainability, permaculture, outdoor education, youth work and event management. In many regions, Taurus is planting time whether your own garden or great fields of abundance!

Appreciating our natural world is Taurus’ gift to us. Dig your toes in the soil, look up to the trees, and their rooftop, the sky in all his glory whether it is beauty blue or storming the rain we need! Sun God warms our crops in the daytime; Mother Moon and dark night we are receptive to messages from the Great Ones and Little People. 

What makes us strong?

Adversity – losing all you have, home, love, everything. Perhaps living in an emergency shelter, as a refugee. Perhaps losing your prowess as you age.

Abundance! It inspires us and makes us pay attention, keep learning, keep planning, stay centered while pulling the plow. It takes a strong healthy mind and attitude to keep up! Abundance brings overflow and time to set up distribution to share the blessings! 

Advocacy. It takes emotional strength, physical strength if you are working at a shelter, for humans or animals. Day in, day out, perseverance is developed as a high skill! The charge of the Bull must be perfectly timed and targeted for the most effect. Keep yourself in prime condition. Stay focused.

Recovery. Health and disability matters take everything we’ve got and then some. Discipline and strength are needed to have the humility to get help when needed, especially if addictions are involved.  

Personal Beauty! Dedication and practical learning, physical efforts, cosmetics and clothing make our bodies strong, give us organic attractiveness. We magnetize people to share with. 

Sincere Charm, Grace and Gentle Kindness may take a little longer to develop. We long for these blessings.

Our Soul. We are connected to a Higher Power even when we are walking barefoot on Mother Earth. Souls are always inquisitive, and at the same time grant us potent insights. It’s our job to let go of fear and embrace the Soul’s callings. We learn to maintain our courage at the gate of potential. Sometimes just standing there is the beginning. We get used to the possibilities, see the goodness that can come. We have our invitation and at a certain moment take that first step along the Path. Steps may be small at first, take the time they take. Gradually we gain momentum. Ha! Sometimes we charge!

Taurus keeps right on glowing, humming the tune of Spirit, never gives up. Glory may be a quiet affair, but we arrive in Peace. We are touched, and so blessed.

Aries is the sign of the Zodiacal New Year! With FIVE planets in Aries, including Moon and Sun, a double Aries chart, it greeted and celebrated Pluto’s 246 year entry into Aquarius! Taurus is now the sign that is stabilizing the new niche and anchors the gains of the new beginnings of this powerful Initiation! Please review this amazing Chart and more about the event!

Famous words for Taurus are ‘Steady in the Light.’ They are calm in the storm and during the chaos of the excitement of the exploration of new territory! They give super strong shelter that rests us as we tussle with getting things in place. Our young ones are safe in their strong arms. We sleep in comfort. 

Taurus is the first Earth sign, rules Mother Earth. Taurus makes sure we grow substantial supplies of food for all, tends our bodies faithfully, makes walkabout clothes that serve us well. We in turn make beauty, cosmetically personally, sculpt our land for water holding, sculpt wood, metal and stone as important markers of the memories of our times and people of honor. 

Relationships are often long term, with our homes, our people, loved ones, business alliances. Like a blacksmith, they patiently forge profound connections that are healing. We save each other, even from ourselves! Wise preservation is a unique skill.

Sitting still like the Buddha, gives our bodies time to melt and meld with Mother Earth, get grounded. The Bull stands in the meadow… It gives our mind the chance to still, be open to receive. There may be no rousing Hallelujah, instead a simple perception, a knowing, that we come to peacefully, that we advocate because it is basic and true. No need for fanfare. It speaks for itself. 

Leadership is simple. You just do it and others are magnetized by its organic reality, natural do-ability. They too want to connect and touch it. Once they get started, they are steady with maintenance. They are loyal and do not abandon without a very good reason. 

Your Soul is pleased.

Thank you, Taurus, blessed be always.

Taurus Overview 2023 to May 2024!

2023 Taurus Paolina Bonaparte Borghese in Rome Venus Victrix, marble sculpture Antonio Canova 1805–08

Paolina Bonaparte Borghese as Venus Victrix, marble sculpture by Antonio Canova, 1805–08. The Borghese Gallery, Rome.

One of Taurus’s special talents is Sculpting, in so many ways. From the historic Golden Bull of ancient Egypt, the invaluable oxen of indigenous peoples that sculpted our food growing fields to May Day’s fertility, to today’s Golden Bull symbol of wealth on Wall street and politically. From long lasting classical figures in marble to computer future fictional and fantasy characters to Tibetan sand mandalas that are swept away, to sands sculptings below the tide line to ephemeral ice sculpting. Today we have land art like the fields of light that sculpt at night. Many a museum has exquisite items of wood carving, clay cooking pieces, metals tools and art and precious cut stones that inspire us, even bring us to tears by their intrinsic beauty and meaning.

Personally we shape our faces with our hair, beautiful cosmetics. We use electric devices to sculpt our bodies along with sophisticated exercises nutrition and body work! Taurus touch healing and massage move our body flow, toxins out, good breath in. When we write and speak, we sculpt our words to bring depth and feeling to illustrate as if we were there! We sculpt our land, to build our homes, landscape with beauty, grow our gardens. The mediums we work with are myriad. 

Taurus is Mother Earth herself. Earth Day started in 1970, 53 years ago. Climate work is our ultimate work today. Fires and floods, cyclones and wind and snow, are sculpting things powerfully. Rather than rebuild, rebuild better! Remediation is the sensible new word. It all takes time and patience, sometimes your whole life.

Insist on making y/our own life more beautiful in 2023! Jupiter in Taurus, starting May 16, begs for international travel to art museums and schools! Align with the beauty in your life, those whose life talents are artists at whatever it is they do! It’s time for a studio. Blessed be and have fun!


2023 features Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto Sign Changes, Super Portal Pluto’s 246 year entry into Aquarius, retrograde back into Capricorn. And, like 2022, makes only 3 outer Planet aspects, only once each, in the first part of the year, all by Jupiter. All the sign changes and the last aspect are made by June 19, and then there is NO other action! Probably the intensity of Pluto’s sign change is enough!

That doesn’t mean YOU won’t have any aspects the rest of the year because the planets are still moving; it’s just that they are not connecting with each other!    

Pluto is now 0 degree Aquarius! He is merely taking a preliminary peek into Aquarius as his first venture in his new sign. He retrogrades May 1, Beltane, at 0 AQ 21, that’s less than half a degree into AQ! He is returning to Capricorn June 11, carrying the seeds of AQ with him. He goes back to Capricorn to review, update in context of Aquarian findings, and bring the appropriate Cap benefits forward into AQ now that he knows more about Aquarius. This is an important cross sign retrograde. 

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 21 years, until January 2044! See more!

  • Pluto in Aquarius will bring a new time. Pluto is water sign Scorpio’s planet and Pluto and air sign 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 used to going it alone and having plenty of behind the scenes power, but Aquarius may be calling on the pantheon that collectively has more power than Pluto and his corporations! Transparency is called for. 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 synthesize for mutual goals. They will do fundraising like never seen before! Pluto may gather the world’s top wealthy humanitarians and sustainable advocates and make governments of countries look small by comparison. Since these groups will have no governmental constraints, they may bring the world together when governments couldn’t. By comparison, the financially unsupported United Nations may become passé, or it’s possible, its structure already in place, may be revitalized! Comprehensive large scale inventor/researcher work could do very well to sustain and amplify their efforts.
  • All the Aquarian flavored aspects we had in 2021, early 2022, gave us a head start. We’ll do Pluto in Aquarius better! Pluto was last in Aquarius 246 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 246 years ago we now have bombs, climate change, an ongoing pandemic, electronic communication, robotics, and a helluva a lot more people on the planet. In the 1700s there were an estimated 603M, at the end of 2021, 7.9B. Water and weather wars are possible. Actually, water wars are already starting – pollution prevention, Detroit, Standing Rock. We need to reassess our mandates for leadership – age and both physical and mental health. There are going to be some bumps. Some say, after the kinks are worked out, there will be a ‘Golden Age!’ Make it so. Or maybe that would be just toooo boring and other things will happen, LOL! Next! Evolution is no quitter!
  • Young people born around 2003 will be about 20 in March 2023 and from 20 until they are 41, they will live this period. Their lives will be about this world changing time. Help them now. Prepare them to be strong and steady leaders. Strengthen everything Aquarius in your life. Capricorn will care for them, raise them, teach them life skills, put them to work. Show them the ways of the world. They will be able to maintain, live sustainably even in hard times and will teach their own children the important principles and skills of their time.
  • We need to strengthen our Aquarian young people, our future leaders, and all Aquarians all the time! Pluto is tough on the sign it is in and at the same time empowers them! Pluto’s sign Scorpio squares, challenges Aquarius, so Pluto will be especially tense in Aquarius in the beginning. Growing pains take strength. Take time to listen, cheer them on. Admire their broad scope, how they get teams going, their care for humanity and our planet, their inventions and science. Help them know how to carry on even when they are not appreciated or understood. They are so intelligent, ahead of their time. They know that not everyone will understand their work, yet the work needs doing. Reassure them they will get better at it.
  • Preparation is still needed. We are just barely peeking into the first half degree! The work for Pluto entering Aquarius has taken steady dedication, staying focused. Everything about how groups and friendships work, even now the Souls who can do this need to be gathered and trained and to practice, establish seed networks. The importance and techniques of research, knowing how change is brought about successfully, are the goals. The foundation needs to be set. It has been and will continue to be explored, tested and trialed by Saturn in the remaining time until the shift, and while Pluto is initially in Aquarius. 

Pluto is a water planet whose sign Scorpio sextiles Capricorn and Pluto has been in Capricorn since 2008, will be off and on through 2024, 16 years! Pluto and Capricorn are very business minded, Capricorn at the counter, Pluto behind the scenes. They know how to work together. There have been losses and gains, dark sadness and amazing successes celebrated! See Pluto in Capricorn There will be a substantial foundation in place when Pluto goes into Aquarius. Since Saturn, Capricorn’s planet, has been in Aquarius since 2020, new techniques and networks are already in place for Pluto in Aquarius to step into. See Saturn in Aquarius Pluto will take over, and like a new president, will select his own cabinet team. Changes will be made. Pluto will make Aquarius more powerful. Some irreparable mistakes will be made, but learning in genius Aquarius will go quicker than lightning! Pluto is intense and extreme at times, gets to the bottom of things, so reboots will be quick too! Unlike his usual self, his new obsession will be deeper friendships than ever before and more of them, powerful networking! New expectations will be beyond remarkable.  

Pluto guards many secrets, financial status, the privacy of a patients’ well being often depends on it. Capricorn understands business confidentiality and research protection. He is all for Pluto wanting you to be stabilized within yourself, heal the cause of troubles, be able to protect yourself and maintain your gains. Your new life will be so busy. Pluto/Scorpio is the Kundalini fire within, ignited at the threshold. It represents transformation and its release! Many will be coming out of the darkness, happy to be here! Newborn babes. Capricorn will be called on to organize the recruits! He will be his best self, full of vim and vigor! He puts it all to work with a delighted saucy grin on his face! The best is yet to come, of course!

Aquarius and Capricorn are both flying high! Aquarius does the research; Capricorn manages the backup team and inaugurates some of his own! Aquarius is in the plane; Capricorn is likely on the ground, in the control tower, assuring all the materials are ordered, gathered and arrive when and where needed. The cause is righteous and the more people the merrier! Pluto has seen this happen before, loves the intensity, lets them go on intuition. They are on their way on the rails, their own momentum carrying them forward! Invention after invention will inspire them onward, each begetting the next! Pluto will step in if needed.

Evolution continues. Some go kicking and screaming. Others are happily screaming on that roller coaster on their way to glory!

SATURN All of 2022 Saturn was in Aquarius and was until March 7 2023. Saturn, Capricorn’s builder planet, brought oddly variable Aquarian talents together, has built extraordinary resource consulting networks. He has tapped connections, made astute changes quickly, grabbed them while they were available. Keeping up with the times, the changes have enhanced Saturn business immeasurably! Saturn is generally a more serious end game planet. Necessity and timeliness are important. This work has preceded Pluto’s shift into Aquarius, laying the foundation for that transition  

Saturn in Aquarius is semi sextile, neighboring, his own sign Capricorn! He is bringing the Capricorn building skills to bear on Aquarian research and the long term plans of futurist Aquarius. In Pisces March 7, 2023 to May 24, 2025, and again later while retrograde, Saturn sextiles Capricorn. He will be adeptly building the dreams many of us have long been anticipating! 

Capricorn is the high mountain sign. Saturn is Capricorn’s planet, a natural connection with Saturn in Aquarius, the sign after Capricorn! AQ is high elevation cold air, brisk and refreshing. They both like the challenge of discovery, icy winter sports – skating and skiing, freedom! Some neighboring signs, like Cap and AQ get along more easily than others. At times both are accused of being aloof, Capricorn because he is often the ‘cold hearted’ boss, and AQ because he is genius smart – bored and not always understood, thrives on being alone, uninterrupted in the work of the Universe, or game playing on his computer, LOL! They may more seek each other’s company because they are in similar, sometimes related work, building the bones of society in a new world order. They may be coworkers, could become friends. Aquarius tolerates odd differences, and Capricorn may feel more comfortable with this non judgmental person that has a few quirks of his own. Aquarius is useful to Capricorn, inventing what is needed on the fly! Capricorn keeps AQ in line and together they make fine networks. Sciences and research may bring wonderful offerings, especially regarding elder health and longevity, cryogenics. Aquarius is happy to see his work being put into good use. Saturn in Aquarius  

Saturn’s entry into Pisces March 7, 2023 preceded Jupiter’s conjunction with Chiron in Aries March 11 and the entire Gemini Mars retrograde cycle ending March 16. They all have led to Pluto’s entry into Aquarius March 23! That will be a challenging time of unknowns, demanding circumstances, a combination of soothing the wild, maintaining a stable foundation of many years in the making, and facing outright rebellion! For some it will be an explosion of consciousness! Some will be tightly perched on the abyss vowing to never let go. If it doesn’t activate your chart in any way at that time, you may wonder why all the fuss? Your turn will come.

Saturn in Pisces, the last sign of the Zodiac, will be a time of reckoning as well as maturity and completion. The dreams of all the signs will merge and become collective desire, an ultimate responsibility. 

Compared with Pisces’ sensitivity, Saturn can seem to be a brutally blunt instrument. Pisces is not used to being limited or channeled or pummeled into submission by someone else’s command. 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! Either can be a blessing or an ordeal to each other, probably a little of both 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 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 into Aquarius. Saturn will guard us from having too much empathy too long, being naive and misplacing our empathy. 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 will be new in his sign for only 17 days before Pluto becomes new in Aquarius! Each will make newbie mistakes, be alternately excited or OMG, what have we gotten into, what have I done?! In the beginning trial and error will slow us down, making for tiring long days for many. Saturn in Pisces holds the visions and though sometimes down, 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. Saturn will then be 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, 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 

JUPITER, the planet of travel and education, changes signs in the 12 months to come. He’s in Aries NOW! He speeds through all of Aries and May 16 goes into Taurus for the rest of 2023, on into Gemini May 2024! We have only a few more days to finish Aries matters promptly, secure the foundation for Taurus!

The Pisces/Aries shift, last to first zodiacal signs, was a 12 year shift! Jupiter retrograded briefly back into Pisces Oct 27 to Dec 20, 2022. Winter Solstice, the belly of winter, was warmed by Jupiter back in Aries keeping the coals hot. From there we have had numerous seeds of new beginnings, the ‘return of the Light!’ Aries is self motivated, always in motion, looking for action, taking the cause to the forefront! It’s rolling onward in Aries, gaining momentum, no going back! From then on until May 16, 2023 he speeds through the entirety of Aries in less than 5 months, enters Taurus. What a shift that will be, a damper for some, a rest for others, an 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, he does retrograde, but stays in Taurus until moving into Gemini May 25, 2024.

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, emphasizes, 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! In Aries a lot of ground will be traveled, and quickly too! Sparks will fly off his horse’s hooves! Speed is a delight. Records will be made! Skating, surfing, skiing, biking! Wow! 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! Aries is a first responder type healer. 

Jupiter in Aries may at times seem to be a flash in the pan, but you ARE impressed by his speed! Aries always has news, is never boring, willing to take a chance and fight tigers! What learning curve? Things come almost automatically. Show me once and it’s done! It seems as if time itself is speeded up! Racing here and there is exhilarating! Spreading the news keeps everyone ready for the next step! Independence prevails, no sappy romance for them unless you can keep up! First and New are happy words. Get started and go for everything you wanted. Negotiate big! Be careful to not bang your head, get cut, shot, or burned or get infections and fevers. Allow extra time to avoid accidents, no burnout! Stop to breathe now and then, and eat quality food! You are the good person you are; you don’t have to prove it by being an animal, unless you want to, LOL! 

As Jupiter connects with our personal chart factors during its time in Aries, we will feel like time has sped up, can’t do things quickly enough! Impatience! Aries intends to lead us to greener pastures or new and different places, even just to see what we can see! Jupiter teaches new techniques, tells stories of wonder, goes on adventurous travels! In Aries he tells of heroes, survival, self sufficiency, independence! There is a buoyant physicality – dancing while ‘sitting’ in your chair at the office, walking, skating, bike riding, a cross country trip for a cause! Excellent health!

Aries is the first sign of the zodiac, the first responders. Initiation means more than taking a title. It means doing your vows. Aries are brave leaders, risk takers, rights fighters. They often have to make instant decisions to save lives. They are fiery Spirits that operate on instant instinct, thank goodness! Consulting is one of their best talents. Listen keenly. Ask your questions right now while they are there with you. They will be gone to the next fire quickly. Staying physically fit is essential and can be totally enjoyable. Prowess feels super! Independence is strong. Ride your bike long distances and fix it yourself! Jupiter in Aries makes and guides the travel machines to even speedier outcomes, winners, is first at the new destination!

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 and patient 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!

As signs change, talents are commingled, the Path between them becoming a usable channel. Jupiter in Pisces, Aries and Taurus 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, maintain their own life. 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!

Planetary Aspect Portals Crater Lake Circular Rainbow

Portals are all around us.

Some are temporary, some are always there. Some are annual like the August 8 Lion’s Gate. No two are alike, take us different places. Some are one way, others are two way but perhaps only at certain intervals – you have to be there or… Some lifetimes there are none, others have several passages. And there are the portals into and out of life. In astrology these are sign changes and aspects formed between planets. 2023’s big one is Pluto’s 246 year sign change into Aquarius!

 

Jupiter makes three 2023 planetary aspects. All three are once only, no retrograde second and third chances. The first aspect, Jupiter conjunct Chiron, was significantly just days before Pluto shifted into Aquarius. The first was while Jupiter was in Aries. The last two are while Jupiter is in Taurus. The last one is after Pluto returns to review Capricorn, a hugely different context than Aquarius! Jupiter sextiles Saturn, Capricorn’s planet. It is a Soul seeking Taurus/Pisces aspect in a new times reality for Capricorn… 

Jupiter’s remaining two 2023 Aspects, May 16/17 and June 19, are the last aspects of 2023!

2) Jupiter in Taurus squares Pluto in Aquarius, sextiles Saturn in Pisces. 

May 16/17 Jupiter enters Taurus and immediately makes its first aspect, square Pluto at 0 Taurus/Aquarius! Both on new ground, that will be a tough transition for many, involving major financial matters, extreme weather. Taurus is a powerful sign, both ‘stubborn’ and steadfast. Jupiter is a giant force looking for the power of peace, connection with Earth, the land and soil, its animals, the trees, food for our bodies, Heart and Soul, clean water. Environmental situations are being reviewed, how we travel our sphere. Our land is so important because it leads to the ocean. Values are changing as we have environmental extremes, questions about where to live safely. Jupiter, that has always ruled longevity, is being challenged by a pandemic, by stressful perspectives politically, environmental conditions including water pollution and scarcity. One can no longer be so blithe about the many issues at hand. These powerful real concerns, stress, can indicate more poor health, including mental health, at pandemic levels. The old solution, to move somewhere else, is a lot less viable now that we have, at the end of 2021, 7.9B population. There are no new easy living frontiers, and Jupiter’s adventure travel map to unknowns is dwindling as drought and dangerous areas are increasing. 

Taurus challenges Pluto, the planet of Scorpio, Taurus’s opposite! Taurus likes being rooted and stable, with a secure income. He likes personal ownership, land under his feet he can depend on to be there. Scorpio has powerful connections and deals with money in any form he can! He likes interest, making loans, insurance, mortgages, inheritances, the bigger the amount the better. He can lose everything and make it all back again plus more! Taurus prefers a strong and steadily growing relationship. Scorpio is more willing to take on a mate with special needs, financial, emotional, health related. But if they can merge fortunes that’s terrific! Prenups are more common for them. 

Taurus squares Aquarius. He is Earthy; Aquarius is boundless air! Jupiter thinks everyone needs an education, some perspective, and faith no matter what! Taurus likes well grounded hands on experience. Pluto doesn’t usually like tell-all-Jupiter, but sometimes will plant a leak so what he wants to get out, gets out. Though he appears not to listen, believe me, he wants to know what he’s up against, and now, May 2023, in Aquarius almost 2 months, he’s been waiting for Jupiter’s 2¢ because Jupiter always brings expansive ideas! Newly in AQ, he needs all the help he can get! The potency of squares is sometimes what we need to make us aware of what’s up. If there are losses, scandals, slander, they will be big, in time the Truth will out with shame and blame, possibly financial loss. Yet even if in a challenge or catastrophe, Jupiter usually wants the best for everyone though it may take some doing. In Taurus he doesn’t give up. So, clear the debris, mend the fallout. Off to the races we go! Aquarius stands by, to quickly assess possibilities. There will be some remarkable breakthroughs and revelations due to the shifts! This aspect happens only once. Don’t miss the opportunity for a tune up! Listening to each other will free us to open doors! Ask questions. Check with your astrologer(s) to see if your chart is involved.

Jupiter of Sagittarius and Pluto of Scorpio are pseudo neighbor signs. There is a natural camaraderie. Though neighbor signs are so different, they do know each other. Taurus is Scorpio’s opposite; both are possession and financially oriented, enjoy sex. Scorpio and Taurus both square Aquarius. Though they are all fixed signs, AQ surprises, upsets the status quo, at times to their favor. Hmm… Jupiter and Aquarius love the whole idea of growth and changes, traveling anywhere! If Taurus and Pluto get their finances in order and make even bigger deals, they can do splendidly together if they agree on how, where and what to invest in! Jupiter in Taurus is improving Taurus’s standing already. Pluto in Aquarius will be the 21 year long aspect, so this is just the beginning and needs that reliable seed income to grow. If Pluto can convince them of the long term benefits AQ will bring, differences will be readily overcome. See more Jupiter square Pluto

Jupiter in Taurus and Capricorn will be empowered again when Pluto retrogrades back into Capricorn June 11, 2023 through Jan 20, 2024. Taurus and Capricorn are both Earth signs looking for practical common-sense solutions and Pluto’s sign Scorpio sextiles Capricorn! There will be additional opportunities to be researched, put into operation. Not to be missed, that six month window will be short!  See more Jupiter in Taurus  See Pluto in Capricorn

Taurus is delighted with fellow earth sign Capricorn. Capricorn knows Taurus is trustworthy, has common sense, can procure substantial materials, isn’t going anywhere else. At times Taurus may be a little slow compared to brisk Capricorn, and Taurus won’t be rushed or pushed around. Cap frets because of deadlines, but slow sometimes pays off as weak spots are discovered and resolved. Hire some more help if possible. Taurus can calm Capricorn and they become strong friends. Taurus protects his money and at times may loan some to Capricorn when needed. Cap keeps his promises and pays back in a timely fashion. Taurus is strong, has endurance and Capricorn is wiry and nibble, can go forever! They may take to the mountains with grand views! Timbers, stones, mines and minerals and earth moving can be their mediums. Taurus walks the land in all seasons; Capricorn is the architect using Taurus insights for sheltering locations, natural water resources. 

3) June 19, Jupiter in Taurus sextile Saturn in Pisces, is the last aspect of 2023! After that time there are no more sign changes or further aspects! That doesn’t mean YOU won’t have any aspects the rest of the year because the planets are still moving; it’s just that they are not connecting with each other!

Now that the initial challenging square with Pluto has passed, Jupiter will speed up Taurus. Taurus will likely absorb some of Jupiter’s action and translate it to more solid application, actually getting more done. There will be less time for running around, running away. Taurus will be intrigued with some of Jupiter’s thinking and broader perspectives. In Taurus, Jupiter may find a longing to return to the land of his forbears. It is a natural homing instinct for grounding and centering. Ley Lines may take on an unexpected significance. A journey may be made along a path that many have taken. As each Pilgrim travels over the ground, a fraction of their scent is left, an imprint added to all the others of before, compelling the Pilgrim to follow. The content of the scent shifts and the purpose of the destination changes with the times as the content is altered. The collective scent alters the collective consciousness of the most recent travelers. We all are walking through time together.

With Saturn, the Capricorn planet, opportunities will be put to good use and tempered through time. Saturn in Pisces will ‘read’ the Pisces dreamtime and Pisces will lead him through these remarkable channels. He will incorporate the wisdom of Saturn elders on the Path and the infinite Pisces insights to beyond the Jupiter destination! It will be more productive than ever expected!    

Definitely time for more options and opportunities. Jupiter’s manner may be a bit ‘big’ for Taurus’s peaceful style, but the ideas are intriguing. Whether stock or plants, the two can work out what breeds and varieties make sense. Taurus will need to hear and hands on test how the ideas can be implemented. Saturn and Taurus, both earthy, work well together. Taurus grows the food, landscapes. Saturn looks for workable shelter and building locations, builds the greenhouse, backs up with current research and in Pisces, secures the water situation. Business can improve steadily. With Pisces visions and sensitivity, they are guided gently to open up to working intricately together. Jupiter is good at teaching and the whole crew will be on board, especially when the results start coming in. 

Saturn likes Jupiter’s far sighted long term plans, expansive steady financial growth in Taurus. Saturn, like Taurus, is conservative and protective, provides a realistic framework for managing funds, secures or builds structures for homes and business that will last, ie those sustainable tiny homes or ADUs – Accessory Dwelling Units! Pisces and Capricorn’s planet Saturn, water and earth, dreamer and worker, will aspire to building a temple of life and spirit, and it will draw pilgrims from afar. Pisces looks at Soul matters. Jupiter will be the preacher! Saturn is quite happy that Jupiter is an action oriented fire planet, no supervision needed – just keep it interesting so Jupiter doesn’t wander off! Greater meaning makes the work they do important to many more people. It insures a deep connection of Spirit that is as well a blessing to their life work, careers and business, to say nothing of their health. There is great promise. See more

 
Enjoy these powerful intense times! The possibilities are compelling!

The Galactic Center, Fixed Star Algol and Planet Pluto!

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

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

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

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

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

Pluto retrogrades May 1 at 0 AQ 21 and moves only 3° a year. Pluto retrogrades back and forth through the degrees as it travels. 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. Pluto has been having the Algol experience, and is one of the few who can stand up under this trial. Very luckily, the trine is the most favorable angle, so though not unscathed, he survives. Both Pluto and Algol are respected and incur life and death situations. One hopes the trine bends the relationship with Algol to a more satisfactory outcome. Earth signs, like Capricorn, especially being the last Earth sign, are a bit ‘indelible.’ Their effects are more long lasting. Keep turning the tables on Algol’s bad rep. Stay calm in the face of violence, even your own anger. Shift your connections so better can happen. Know your rights and choose safety unless/even if you are trying to save someone’s life. If you are the offender, get all the help you can to change. Many a fine leader has come from a dark place. See more!

As to that great fierce feminine troublemaker Algol in Taurus, Capricorn is in a favorable working trine. Capricorn is rather invincible himself, gets stronger as he gets older! He too is protective, so has empathy and a very respectful rapport. Capricorn knows power when he sees it, and knows to engage carefully. Algol may find it intriguing that Capricorn may want to renovate some long standing troubles into viable situations. She doesn’t have to scare this one. He has had troubles of his own, and pulled himself up. He is a natural hard worker. Their mutual satisfaction may bring amazing laughter, loosening some of her age old pain and some of his, more recent. There is hope against the odds!

Capricorn is the neighboring sign just beyond Sagittarius, the Galactic Center’s own sign! He has watched the GC’s mighty strides all his life. In fact, some of that huge well of information has always been a part of him. Without much ado, many Capricorns have phenomenal insights and successes. They work and work and work, inspired by what they know can happen. Cap learns early what his boundaries are, and generally doesn’t overstep his position. They really are not to be underestimated. They are masters of their trades, fine mentors. They take strong parental, family and community responsibility. 

♦♦ When Pluto is in Aquarius, some think Pluto will be getting a bit beyond the range considered to have effect for these types of aspects. But. The GC has an enormous range, Aquarius, the sign of the heavens, is by nature resonant to the Galaxy. I would still allow for their connection. Sagittarius is a mighty traveler, no distance too far, and Aquarius is the sign of flight. Easy travels for them and a huge range of knowledge passes between them. That gets shared by Sagittarius stories and teaching, and through the Aquarian electric computer humanitarian networking! There will be fewer strangers on the planet. We will ‘know’ each other, be fellow travelers – Sagittarius and friends – Aquarius. Our hearts and minds will be expanded. Pluto keeps thing clean and clear, heals the deeper schisms that occur in our fears, the deepest dark roots corners that have been in our memories for centuries. A true freedom and unity become possible.  

So, when Pluto is in Aquarius, some will still consider PL to still be trine Algol, called an out-of-sign trine. Aquarius and Taurus are not famously easy together. They are fixed signs, in spite of AQ being the sign of r/evolutionary change! Each has strong opinions, Taurus usually quieter about it; Aquarius making headlines! When they get along, Taurus rules grounding, while AQ rules the heavens, Heaven and Earth! In their own ways each stable, but they sure have different vantage points! Taurus is growing veggies while AQ is out gallivanting in behalf of the planet. Taurus calms Aquarius and supports his sorties. AQ knows there is someone to come home to that accepts him, is patient, sensible, dependable, and AQ trusts. Aquarius keeps Taurus up on the latest and fully spices his life. Geometrically, they are trine, a favorable aspect, so there are differences, but their ‘heavenly’ relationship is to their favor.

AstroLocality!

If your changes during 2023, 24, include moving, you are or will be truly on Jupiter in Aries time through May 16! Jupiter is location; Aries is new! He feels refreshed when on that land. It’s a springboard! Jupiter in Taurus chooses land that makes him feel a connection that feels good under his feet! But with Jupiter in Taurus moves are less likely. A trailer is more likely, a home you can take with you. 

If you already moved, take a look at your AstroLocality map and Relocation Charts to see the meaning of your move and its potentials! If you haven’t picked your location yet, or have but not moved yet, you might change your mind. First, take a look at maps that show areas of conflict, drought, disasters. Conflicts take years of recovery; droughts and disasters take years of remediation. Think in terms of sustainability and a clean water supply. See your AstroLocality astrologer for advices on personal locations best for what and the best timing! Depending on your finances, be cautious about moves during 2023 Mercury and Venus retrograde periods, especially their double retrograde time. If it is a necessity at a retrograde time, know that there will be further changes and factor in the costs that go with that. If you are buying a home as well, top priority may be that it is a good investment per resale value since you may change your mind about keeping it. Renting is recommended until times are more stable. With the Jupiter sign change in May, and the Saturn and Pluto changes in March, a lot of mind changing will be happening. Also, Pluto retrogrades back into Capricorn June 11 through Jan 2024.

Particularly note that late summer we are looking at heartful and hardworking Leo/Virgo Venus/Mercury DOUBLE RETROGRADE! The Venus retrograde cycle 12 to 28 Leo starts first, June 19 (the day of the Jupiter sextile Saturn – the last 2023 aspect), finishes Oct 7. It is retrograde July 22 – Sep 3. Mercury starts his cycle Aug 3, finishes Sep 29, 8 to 21 Virgo 49. He is Rx Aug 23 to Sep 15. The DOUBLE RX is at back to school time, off to college, a common time to move, Aug 23 to Sep 3 (Labor Day weekend)! Don’t be surprised if there soon is another housing change… See more, Item 2) at this link!

Returns! Returns are a special time when a planet orbits back to your original birth point. It reminds you of the purity of its purpose in your life. Saturn’s refreshes your outlook on your Dharma, the work of your Soul. Jupiter’s refreshes your gift of how you learn/teach and travel life! If your return is in a degree that will be in retrograde, you will have it three times.

During Taurus’ year, Saturn covers 4 to 15 Pisces. Those of you with your Saturns in those degrees will be having your 28/29 year Saturn Return(s)!

If your Jupiter is 23 Aries, to 21 Taurus, you will have your 11/12 year Jupiter Return(s) in Taurus’ year. 

Lunar patterns 2023-24!

New Moons: 21 and 20 degrees, Sep 14, 2023 to March 10, 2024. April 8, 2024 at 19 degrees.
Full Moons: 4 and 5 degrees, Oct 28, 2023 to April 23, 2024  

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

Aries is the Sign that hosted Pluto’s new mission in Aquarius! Taurus will anchor the keeper new beginnings! We will be having an intense year as we get started making significant world changes and personal changes finding our places in this new time! Pluto will be retrograding back into Capricorn to strengthen that foundation. He will bring more of Capricorn’s important worthy work of this last 14 years forward into the new auspice of Aquarius. Cap deserves the recognition. Aquarius is blessed. Thank you to all you Taurus types for holding us steady in these times of super change!

Steady on!

Happy Birthdays, Dear Taurus!

2023 Taurus Mother Earth and Bright Flowers on Starry Sky

We are all just walking each other home. — Ram Dass has Mercury 4 Taurus sextile Venus 6 Pisces – see his chart.  I think of Taurus’ Mother Earth as Home, taking care of her.

Alan Seale’s interpretation: ‘Ram Dass was talking about coming home inside of ourselves. He was talking about finding our wholeness – knowing who we are at the deepest and most profound levels of our being and building our lives upon that foundation.’ Your interpretation is equally perfect and profound. 

May your Spirit be filled with peace and strength, beauty and kindness!

May 5 Lunar Eclipse Scorpio-Taurus Full Flower Moon!

May 19 Taurus New Black Moon!.


April 19/20 RARE HYBRID Solar Eclipse, SECOND Aries New Black Moon!

Wednesday April 19, 9:13 P Pacific, 29 Aries 50, Sun in Taurus 1:14 A
In Eastern Zone it is Thursday April 20, 12:13 A, Sun enters Taurus 4:14 A

My gratitude to you all for your victories of every kind, every day! 

2023 RARE HYBRID Solar Eclipse, SECOND Aries New Black Moon!

4.20.23 NOTE: This may be the 3rd lunar event of ARIES, but it happens in less than 24 hours of Sun’s entry into Taurus. It carries the power at the Taurus threshold, passes the baton in person!

April 19 Pacific, 20th in Eastern time, RARE HYBRID Solar Eclipse, SECOND Aries New Black Moon! Only 3.1% of solar eclipses in the 21st century, are hybrid eclipses, fewer yet in Taurus! Pluto 0 Aquarius!
Here is a brief summary of when it was the 3rd lunar event in Aries:

  • FOUR Planets Aries Stellium! Aries Stelliums were common to all three Aries Lunar events with an additional emphasis in Taurus. Emphasis on NEW BEGINNINGS!
  • Jupiter, Chiron, then New Moon at 29 Degrees finishes the set on the last day of Aries. The special 29th/anaretic degree has a complex set of possible conditions. As the last degree of a sign, it represents finality, no more can be done, endings, Fate is made, sometimes fatality. It can be celebrations, completion, finally! I like that it has maturity! It often has fear of making mistakes as we start the new sign to come, but also has excited anticipation of going forward into new territory!
  • Saturn 4° Pisces
  • Venus now in Gemini
  • Mercury is in retrograde station at 15 Taurus, retrogrades in Taurus April 21 at 15 Taurus!
  • Pluto 0 AQ and Mars 13° Cancer are base and lead planets of the Bowl Chart
  • No planets are retrograde and won’t be until Taurus Mercury’s April 21. The first outer planet retrogrades May 1, Beltane! We are free to move forward!
  • Pluto made the Aquarian shift March 23

Dear SkyLovers! This is a RARE HYBRID Solar Eclipse! Per NASA: Because Earth’s surface is curved, sometimes an eclipse can shift between annular and total as the Moon’s shadow moves across the globe. This is called a hybrid solar eclipse. Wiki further explains: Totality occurs in a narrow path across the surface of the Earth, with the partial solar eclipse visible over a surrounding region thousands of kilometres wide. Hybrid solar eclipses are extremely rare with only 3.1% of solar eclipses in the 21st century, hybrid eclipses.

[Boo hoo. It will not be visible in the US.] Totality for this eclipse will be visible in the North West Cape peninsula and Barrow Island in Western Australia, eastern parts of East Timor, as well as Damar Island and parts of the province of Papua in Indonesia.

It is a hybrid eclipse, with portions of its path near sunrise and sunset as annular. An annular solar eclipse occurs when it is a new moon, and the moon is near or at a lunar node. During this eclipse, the moon is usually far from the earth and is near a point called the moon’s apogee. Time and Date says: An annular solar eclipse happens when the Moon covers the Sun’s center, leaving the Sun’s visible outer edges to form a “ring of fire” or annulus around the Moon. If it is like the image above, it is called a Diamond Ring effect! The first painting of one was by Cosmas Damian Asam: Vision of St. Benedict (1735)!

To me, Eclipses are like an eye to/through the sky! As Moon and Sun are aligned, we have access to both their energies united, a powerful merger whether apart/opposite or conjunct! As we see their Light, we are catapulted beyond them into greater realms as our hearts are drawn to seek their mysteries of both time and space at once. Moon and Sun have meetings twice a month, in every sign of the zodiac through the year, unfolding their knowledge sequentially. Moon is our guardian Mother. Father Sun lights our way as even in the dark he still shines his inspiration! Keep open, give thanks. With Pluto in Aquarius, the sign of the Heavens, we will find these excursions to be more intense and we will be raised up.

What an exciting 2023 Aries Lunar sequence we are having, topped by this rare Eclipse! This is the Third Aries Lunar event, the Second New Moon, a Black Moon, a Solar Eclipse! It is the first New Moon in Pluto in Aquarius, and Pluto starts with this RARE HYBRID Solar Eclipse! This final Aries lunar event has a FOUR planet Aries Stellium! Taurus Mercury is in retrograde station, retrogrades April 21! No outer planets will retrograde until May 1, Beltane!

Aries, with its potent Stelliums, remains the primary sign in all 3 Lunar Charts! Pluto in Aquarius is well launched, we are in the mood for NEW and we’ve got it! Aquarius is not only r/evolutionary, NEW, but ahead of its time! Aquarius is genius thinkers, finding ways through the dark! Pluto is a dark planet, behind the scenes but intense, compulsive and obsessive! By contrast, Aquarius is an air sign, free and unattached, detached. So ironically, Pluto can be obsessed about detachment?! As a healer, he will strive to help people become free in a good way. Pluto can be possessive in relationships, but Aquarius is the sign of humanity, relationships with, by, in behalf of all. Pluto may provide Security to be different yet work side by side, all contributing their own special gifts.

The Aries Four are in the belly of the Bowl Chart. Bowls often have a cluster of planets giving the core nature of the Bowl its purpose for being. Bowls are unique charts. They gather water and food, cradle the children, gather groups of people. They take up collections, money and memories. Sometimes they capture and keep. The Bowl may be empty, but when full they pour forth their blessings. It isn’t always peaceful in a Bowl, but usually a certain amount of tolerance and acceptance is acquired when living that closely. It doesn’t even mean we come to like it, but there is sometimes an unspoken understanding, and love anyway. We get to know each other more deeply. So this Bowl, that by nature protects the inhabitants, contains a LOT of Aries, an independent, a troublemaker! What can we say? They say, but he’s our troublemaker and they protect him, and furthermore, encourage him…to do it well! Independence has its merits. You can be independent together, as a tribe!

Pluto, the base planet, brings his new order in Aquarius to serve them. He takes care of the laggers, inspiring them with long term hopes that keep them going. Mars, the very Aries planet himself, now in Cancer, leads them on with courage in his heart, in behalf of his own and the family of man. An independent planet, Mars of Aries, leads the way, giving his unique gifts of the Bowl as no one else can. He visits homes and businesses, senses their needs, shares the news and new techniques they have learned. He asks for help with what his own people need that he can take home with him. Excellent treaties can be made; everyone prospers.

The influence of the March 11 Jupiter Chiron conjunction is still in the air. We are using our new gifts of healing, continuing to learn in the context of Pluto newly in Aquarius. We are alone together working for greater cause than ever before. Jupiter sees the immediate need to educate the most people ever, especially the Leaders that carry the seeds of times to come.

Venus 10 Gemini is sending blessings to Chiron 16 Aries! He may need them because Mars coming to square him might give him trouble! Meanwhile, Venus has lovely ideas for connections to spread the good word about Chiron’s healings and teachings. She can promote his business and may introduce him to some of her fetching friends! He is watching her, thinking she will be fun to know better and tell her some of his tales he got from Jupiter! Venus picks the most charming and may post them along with some of her artwork on her blog or in the newsletter. Chiron is somewhat precocious, eager in Aries. He’s a little heady with the new turns things are taking. The challenges are worthy of his consideration. Maybe Venus can be his press person or set up a quick campaign for him.

Mars, ruling planet of Aries, is about to square Chiron in Aries! He may call Chiron to task and suggest some updates. He may encourage Chiron to remember Chiron’s leading new premises and treatises on healing and teaching! Some people will need to clear old patterns but use new techniques! Mars in Cancer knows how old cultural ways of our family have held some back. Others are simply afraid of what’s new or suggested by someone they don’t know. Mars offers to go with Chiron to new territories and speak to the women of the community, for their children and families. In Cancer Mars can be more conservative and want proper testing done before he recommends new meds or techniques. Likely he and Chiron will inspire people to help at every location they visit.

Mercury 15 Taurus makes a sniffing distance 2 degree conjunction of Uranus at almost 18 Taurus. Mercury picks up a lot of incredible ideas from the planet of Aquarius, and Mars is about to sextile Uranus! Though Mars is in conservative Cancer, still Mercury and Taurus are logical and practical, Uranus is inventive and up on the research. He’s had a few years in Taurus now, so has experience. Earth changing projects and contracts are in the wind!

Running in the background, adding spice, Chiron and Uranus are in their famous semisextile again! Please see more about this remarkable 13 year aspect. Over the years, Uranus has become more Shamanic in his humanitarian concerns. Chiron is more on the cutting edge, especially now that he is in Aries! He has become more electric and is acquiring a more humanistic range of healing and teaching. He is networking his teaching far and wide.

Taurus Mercury, however, has lost momentum, is in station (an eight day standstill), about to Retrograde the 21st! He has been sextile Mars. Since around April 7 they have been talking of the opportunities. But things have confusingly slowed down. Both of them are a bit grumpy and impatient now as Mercury already slow in Taurus may not even be returning calls. They may have a last talk on or about April 23rd, but then it’s over. They will each be going in different directions. Mars will leave Mercury behind. Their ideas are excellent; hopefully he will carry them forward with Uranus! The potential will be even greater since Uranus has groups of friends working for greater causes! Mars may have whole team working for his ideas! Mercury will retreat, hopefully wishing them well. See more about the Taurus Mercury Retrograde!

Moon and Sun are now at the last degree of Aries. They are finishing Aries. It is a bit sad to leave all this glory behind, a bit scary but exciting to get on new ground. They are at the mature point, taking care of last minute details of their remarkable process welcoming Pluto to Aquarius. They have been developing a system of how to do this, doing their own thing as well as being sensitive to how others meet the same challenge, to Pluto’s own sensitivities. Pluto is a powerful planet in his own right, but all planets and signs have their own vulnerabilities, especially on new territory. Pluto and Aquarius are not exactly ‘compatible,’ so there will be some initial working things out. It’s a 21 year passage, so the sooner the better.

At this last degree, the type of eclipse, they are close to Moon’s North Node, they in Aries, the Node in Taurus. The Nodes have to do with Past and Current times. Some think the nodes are a bit fateful, the South of past life over/under doings, the North how we balance that talent or lack with current opposite skills. The Moon/Sun merger is powerfully at the North Node, the one that needs strengthening! There is an automatic time component of lifetimes involved. Sometimes we sense a need to make amends, or emphasize our current needs, to simply do better. Old talents keep people calling for them, so it is confusing and sometimes we are delayed if we go back to them. No matter how good we may be, our Spirit calls us forward, sooner or later, to new things we aren’t as skilled at, yet want to learn. With the hybrid eclipse, an eclipse that changes forms, it is like a shimmering of light and attention as it changes, shaking us loose to new positions and vantage points. Allow a time for not knowing, reserve judgement, to be able to observe without the interference of our own mind’s preconceived ideas. Just ride the Light!

The Nodes are sextile/trine, favorable aspects with Saturn in Pisces. He/they will sort things out in a very workable fashion with Soul satisfaction. Dreams of good to come are stronger than past fears of things that haunt us from long ago. It’s time to shake the crust loose, drop the burden. Saturn is awesome in Pisces! He watches the swirls in the dreamtime, the daily stream of consciousness. His ability to harness the powers that be, the dharma of each person, all of us together, is uncanny. Our fate may be of well being, every day building strong Spirit for profound causes. There are setbacks, the worst may be addictions, but compassion comes. Sometimes for ourselves, sometimes for others, we come to understand the links between us more deeply. Time is literally a tool that carries us along our lifetimes, this one, ones before, ones to come. At alone times we are free to be ourselves, to discover on our own terms, integrate at our own pace. Treasure this precious sacred space.

Mother Moon is the first to venture forth, to greet Pluto in his new sign. Her instincts may warn her to give a little room at first. Pluto by nature likes his privacy, and Moon in Aries can be pushy and nosy, even, maybe especially, in her caring. Good thing she’s fast on her feet and can back up quickly if needed. Sun in Aries doesn’t need the details, but he would like Pluto to be for them. He has courage, is not afraid of bullies. Truth told, he’s been one himself from time to time. He understands. Pluto may put Sun on some of the toughest tasks that require a quick response. Instant ChangeMaker Aquarius knows like Souls when he sees them. Moon will insist on feeding Pluto better quality food, secure shelter even when they are on the move. Sun will point out places needing significant change the most and how to divvy up the work force, putting people with applicable and compatible skills together. Moon knows the history, both culturally and recent conditions, has helpful pros and cons. They are all excited to work together.

All this is essential, because, Moon and Sun will start squaring Pluto in minutes, as they go into Taurus!!! The Full Moon is 9:13 PM Pacific time the 19th. Moon enters Taurus 9:30 PM, squares Pluto 10:04 PM, only 51 minutes after the Full Moon! Sun enters Taurus 1:14 AM the 20th Pacific, squares Pluto 9:27 AM Pacific. Things are moving fast and changing dramatically!

Moon probably senses the urgency while she is still in Aries. Their combination from Aries is brief and last minute, no time to lose. Sun has a bit more time, but while he’s still in Aries, Mother Moon has left him and facing Pluto on her own. At least Pluto is ‘forewarned.’ At 0°, he may be a bit shocked, though doesn’t show it. Moon in Taurus may disagree, but can be ‘stubborn’ and hold her ground, but she is certainly quieter about it than when she was in Aries. She may quiet Aries a bit, but Aries saw no reason to surrender his/her position either! Pluto may not quite know what to do. This is the start of only his second round of Moon through the signs and he’s been in Capricorn a long time. This new platform is just not the same! In Capricorn he was used to her shenanigans, but now, she seems really fast and has his head spinning. In time he may be happier with her because Aquarius was born for change. But for now, give him some time. Or, who knows?! Maybe he has been champing at the bit and is SO ready for these changes, LOL!

Moon has already breached Pluto’s stronghold, and Sun is right behind her. He may bring some light to matters, but certainly has more staying power. Taurus has always been the sign opposite Pluto’s sign Scorpio. They are not exactly strangers. Taurus knows he can out wait Pluto. Pluto knows he can threaten money problems or interfere with Taurus relationships. They both know that can be costly in time and money, so have figured out ways to talk with each other. That will come in handy now. They can help each other. Taurus can calm Pluto. He can steady down Aquarius, because he has seen the Aquarian planet Uranus in Taurus for several years now. Pluto too has seen the changes Uranus has made in Taurus and may decide those new openings will be fine and he and Taurus could do quite well together now with a little adjusting. It’s important now not to make quick judgments, but to see what can be done. Make proposals and give them time to be sorted out in their new contexts.

My gratitude to you for all your victories of every kind, every day!

May 5 Lunar Eclipse, Scorpio/Taurus Full Flower Moon!

Friday May 5, Cinco de Mayo, 10:34 AM Pacific at 14 Scorpio-Taurus 58 Penumbral Lunar Eclipse not visible in North America. Is visible in Asia and Australia. 

Exchanges of wisdoms are a divine gift among us! Keep them flowing… 

Beautiful painting by ANNETTE S. LEE | Artist | Astronomer | Indigenous | PhD | MFA!

Since the beginning of time Native Skywatchers all over the world have had profound stories to tell, teachings to share. Join this team to discuss ideas, strategies, and projects relevant to Indigenous Education, revitalization of Indigenous STEM, and community-based work at the intersection of art-science-and culture. Led by Annette S. Lee since 2007, Native Skywatchers has been working for equity in education, social transformation, and wellness for the past 15 years… building community around Indigenous Sky and Earth Knowledge.

May 1, May Day, and Cinco de Mayo both have a taste of Spring in their hearts! Cinco de Mayo is a Mexican Heritage Day, celebrated in Mexico and throughout the US, especially in Los Angeles! This year it is on the Full Flower Moon! Dance, celebrate your freedom, feast, and enjoy!
.
The 2nd Eclipse of 2023 has changed flavors entirely! The April 19 Rare Hybrid Solar Eclipse New Moon was fiery very Aries! This Lunar Eclipse is a wings wide open Scorpio-Taurus Full Flower Moon! From fire to flowers, from totally out front to secrets and time to smell the flowers. From fast to slo mo, observing and taking your time. Aries operates on instant instinct. Taurus/Scorpio won’t be rushed. Period.
.
In our US time, 10:34 AM Pacific, it is a daytime eclipse and we won’t see it here. It will sweep across Asia and Australia. Though we won’t see the eclipse, Moon and Sun are still lined up! They aren’t exactly lined up. Moon is in the Penumbra, the shadow of Earth. Shadows are right up Scorpio’s ally. There is a sense of presence, but a degree of invisibility as well. Scorpio functions well privately, and has secrets to protect. You might get his scent and still not be sure he is there.

The nature of Full Moons is a broadening of perspective between the two signs, in this case Moon in Scorpio, Sun in Taurus. There is always a revelation factor when factors are opposite, wings spread wide open. There is expansion and some vulnerability too. Through being maximum distance apart, there is a clarity that can’t be read when they are closer. For some the separation is safer. For others, separation is loss. For yet others it is restful, with potential to collaborate beneficial options across the table of negotiation, each side contributing their valuable part. Scorpio Moon may bring in her corporation or nonprofit while Taurus Sun contributes steady production, a reliable experienced work force. Mother Moon may make sure your psyche is in good working order as Father Sun tunes up your body. There are many possibilities.

Intense Moon in Scorpio stands alone from the other planets, the ‘handle’ of the Bucket chart. She is in a water sign, closing the gap on her trine to Mars in fellow water sign Cancer. Mars is the lead planet of the group behind Moon. Moon is closer to Pluto in Aquarius, Pluto Scorpio’s planet. They are not yet connected by degree, but they are aware of each other’s presence.

Pluto is the base planet of the group separate from Moon. He has been merely taking a peek into Aquarius as his first venture in his new sign. He has already retrograded as of May 1, Beltane, at 0 AQ 21, that’s less than half a degree into AQ! He is returning to Capricorn June 11 just a tad over a month from now. He carries the seeds of AQ with him, goes back to Capricorn to review, update in context of Aquarian findings, and brings the appropriate Cap benefits forward into AQ now that he knows more about Aquarius. This is an important cross sign retrograde.

As base planet, Pluto makes sure all are connected and collected moving forward, motivating, reminding each how important the humanitarian/planetary work is. He heals the stragglers and checks their electrical synapses. Since he is retrograde, he goes even further back than usual to find the ones who got lost or distracted by the marvels of their new sign. Mars motivates at the front, braves the Cancerian Mothers of the world, penetrates past old cultural throwbacks. He makes us aware how important it is to make good safe futures for our children and how to get them there safely!

Moon’s job is to gather all that the group has to share and roll it out where it will be well placed for success. Her concurrent job is to sweep the environment for useful information and connections to take back to the group. Scorpio Moon makes terrific deals, confidentially heals wherever she goes, is a good ninja and in return may get much more than many others could.

Her opposite, Taurus Sun is well pleased. He has a sixth sense for enduring and sensible values, knows exactly the natural place they will fit. Soon Moon’s gifts will be consumed and incorporated. Sun is with the Aquarian planet Uranus, so Sun will go for far reaching more long term than average solutions and advocate in their behalf. Many partners could be brought together solving planetary conditions with their cutting edge team. Sun is also sextile the lead planet Mars! What Moon brings, Sun will automatically receive first by their being in exact degrees with each other. He will pass that on to Uranus fully by May 9 since they are next to each other, then gradually to Mars as the sextile continues. However, the transfer may not be fully completed since they both change signs before the sextile is exact May 21!

Nevertheless, seeing the phenomenal results, Moon is well pleased too. She’s opposite Uranus at 5:13 PM Pacific the same day, so is quite aware of the coming changes that need funding alliances as well. She knows what to do and who to contact.

Running in the background, adding spice, Chiron and Uranus are in their famous semisextile again! Please see more about this remarkable 13 year aspect. Over the years, Uranus has become more Shamanic in his humanitarian concerns. Chiron is more on the cutting edge, especially now that he is in Aries! He has become more electric and is acquiring a more humanistic range of healing and teaching. He is networking his teaching far and wide.

With Mercury Retrograde and Moon’s North Node, who generally travels Rx, there is further Taurus emphasis. Mercury Rx is turning the soil of Taurus, changing directions, plowing some things under, revealing others. Drives a Taurus nuts. They like their life to be steady. Taurus has to do with money, love, long standing values, food, our appearance, our bodies, the land we claim – our homestead. We need to be at peace so we can do our best work. One at a time, take care of these necessities. See more about Mercury Rx!

May 14 Mercury retrogrades back to 5 Taurus, in a less than a degree station (for 8 days) with the North Node. The North Node takes 19 years to circle the Zodiac. The South Node is thought to represent things we over or under did in past times/lives. The North is where we need to step up to the plate, get out of our comfort zone, make a better balance in our lives. We have talents at the South, but at a cost if out of balance. Address them squarely, sensibly. Life will be better.

Mercury will also station less than a degree sextile with Saturn when he is at 6 Pisces! Saturn is bedrock; Pisces can make whimsical/spiritually intelligent changes of enormous proportion in moments! Mercury in Taurus doesn’t usually move as quickly, but when they do make up their mind, just get out of the Bull’s way! Taurus likes Saturn, the practical Earth planet of Capricorn. Capricorn is a superb builder, and crackerjack realtor, so things could go super quickly. In Pisces he follows his instincts and the timing is perfect! They are sextile, an aspect of opportunity. Even though Mercury is currently retrograde, they are making careful preparatory forays into what they will do. They may decide to take action a few days after Mercury goes forward. The 18th might work quite well.

Venus and Mars are making reverse aspects:
Venus was square Neptune; Mars is trine Neptune! Venus sextiles Jupiter, Mars squares!

Venus in Gemini square Neptune in Pisces isn’t sure what she wants. She wants it all; she wants nothing. She loves data, but Neptune doesn’t care. He goes straight for what his intuition tells him. Venus gets glimpses of this in action. She’s fascinated and may try to harness the information, but it shimmers and is lost in a fraction of a moment, or she grabs it quickly and starts to build a fantastic file! She knows facts are good, but so is the spiritual connection with our soul! There are many voices and ways to the Center. Venus sings, speaks a couple languages, sometimes interprets. The Soul is invisible, so it may be harder to sing the Neptune messages… But Neptune is the Music Magician, and it is an invaluable gift to be able to translate the dreams and visions, insights, wisdom. Sometimes it’s best to give up, but Venus doesn’t want to. There can be a charm too sweet to miss.

Mars trine Neptune! Venus knows what she loves and wants; Mars knows what to do. In Cancer, he is like a Mom in action taking care of the kids! He’s in a water sign with mortal matriarchal memories, like Neptune with his Soul memories, so has an easier channel to the old Master Neptune than Venus does. Mars knows how to gently prod and request, or insist because he needs it right away to help someone! Pisces was born to help. Venus may look like she’s all in her head, just wants it for herself and that can put him off. Venus must go in true from her heart with love. Between Mars and Venus, they may get the favor. Mars would be willing to fight for Neptune’s cause.

Venus’s plus is she is sextile lucky Jupiter in Aries! She’s interested in education and Jupiter is leading the way with extraordinary perspectives gathered from around the world. People are making new plans right and left! Though things are happening quickly, there is a lot of trust. Venus is spreading the good word just as fast as she can! Neptune may be more impressed by this than anything else Venus tells him. He’s an old one, and loves a good yarn. This one promises grand potential in short time and is right on schedule with Pluto’s shift into world changing Aquarius!

Mars is square Jupiter. Venus can help him with this one! Mars may seriously disagree with Jupiter’s opinions and vice versa. It’s not that things need doing, but the timing and how it’s done and why. Jupiter is in Mars’ sign Aries, so they can tangle. Mars in Cancer always feels like the defender of women and children so is righteous in his cause. Jupiter is bigger, and may have some good points, sometimes thinks religion is his right reason. Each will do better if they can take turns and just listen with no comments then come back soon for another session. Mars and Aries both want what they want right now! It’s going to take some careful dancing… Each is going to have to adjust a bit. Maybe Venus could be mediator.

Along with Jupiter, Chiron is also in Aries. Moon is coming along to inconjunct him, probably siphon off some heat and also get a shot of inspiration! Chiron is an old Shaman and Scorpio is a Shaman of his own kind, but not so old. Chiron was the leader of the Centaurs, got in trouble and the Gods were not happy, gave him an incurable wound. Scorpio was not around then and is famous for his love of danger, and miraculous healing when in accidents. Mama Moon is more cautious if she has family. If not, she has instincts that often get her through scary circumstances unscathed. Scorpio often functions behind the scenes. In contrast, Chiron became a famous medicine teacher. He taught Aesculapius the art of healing, which became the source of all divine medical knowledge among the Greeks and Romans! Moon will be healing Chiron; Chiron will be healing and teaching Moon how to teach.

March 23, 2023 Pluto entered Aquarius, a 246 year event! Now through 2044, 21 years, there will be significant world changes. Please continue to strengthen our Aquarian and Uranian people, those factors in our own charts! 

Exchanges of wisdoms are a divine gift among us! Keep them flowing.

May 19 Taurus New Black Moon!

Friday May 19, 8:53 AM Pacific at 28 Taurus 25

Grounding, seeking change and giving leadership are perfect for these new times! Steady on! 

2023 Taurus New Black Moon Katahdin Woods Waters Natl Monument ME Dark Skies US

For your viewing pleasure! In 2023, the best time to see earthshine, also known as the Da Vinci glow, is a few days before and after the New Moons on April 20 and May 19! If you missed April, try this one coming up!

Another definition of a black moon says that it is the third new moon in a season of four new moons, according to Space.com. This is a black moon by that definition!

Mercury Direct Mother’s Day, Jupiter in Taurus, 4 and 5 planet stelliums, square with Pluto retrograde, New Black Moon! Things are moving right along!

  • May 14, Mother’s Day, Mercury Direct/forward in Taurus, gaining speed
  • Jupiter entered Taurus May 16 at 10:20 AM Pacific making a four planet stellium in Taurus, including Mercury, still in station, and Uranus and Sun!
  • May 17 Mother Moon joins them at 5:28 AM making it a FIVE planet Taurus Stellium! Jupiter immediately squares PLUTO at 6:11 PM Pacific! This is significant because PLUTO entered Aquarius March 23 and is still at 0 degree, newly to its post!
  • Our New Black Moon, Jupiter’s first lunar event in Taurus, is in late Taurus, 28°, May 19 at 8:53 AM Pacific! We are brought to solidarity and new beginnings as the Lights merge and join forces in behalf of simple solutions to long standing personal and planetary matters. Taurus is a calming influence, helps us stand still, observe, have patience and let the blessings come. When necessary there is a mighty charge!

Jupiter is on an 11-12 year cycle and in the sign Taurus will have plenty of push, won’t be ignored. Right away he will seek for Pluto to stand true to his new humanitarian potential, financial matters of all kinds, climate and sustainability. Pluto has a lot on his plate involving billions of people, from the most isolated indigenous to the most sophisticated computer intellects, financiers. Jupiter may be ready to lend a supportive shoulder. He’s letting Pluto know where he stands.

Mother Moon in Taurus is food provider, farmer, and her cows provide milk for our families and children. Father Sun warms the fertile soil of spring for plants to get their best starts, for super summer production. This basic element alone is 100% significant to peace, to feed our souls and keep us on an even keel, thinking clearly. This is the only New Moon of the whole year like this. Gratitude. In return, we need to improve earth functions like water distribution, insure clean water. Appreciation is another word we need to use more about Earth’s trees, animals, birds, stones, our water.

This Bowl Chart is cleanly defined by the base and lead planets! Pluto is base planet, retrograde at 0 Aquarius 17. Pluto, the base planet, brings his new order in Aquarius to serve them. He takes care of the laggers, inspiring them with long term hopes that keep them going. Retrograde, and on a new path in Aquarius, he goes further back to retrieve any lost along the way. Pluto is excellent at cleanup and recycling – leave no trace, leave it better than when you arrived! Pluto is the silent ninja, fights with money, is the therapist behind the scenes who fights for your life!

Pluto has been merely taking a peek into Aquarius as his first venture in his new sign. He has already retrograded as of May 1, Beltane, at 0 AQ 21, that’s less than half a degree into AQ! He returns to Capricorn June 11, less than a month from now. He carries the seeds of AQ with him, goes back to Capricorn to review, update in context of Aquarian findings, and bring the appropriate Cap benefits forward into AQ now that he knows more about Aquarius. This is an important cross sign retrograde.

The lead planet is Mars, a leadership planet, is opposite Pluto, proactive at 29 Cancer 26! Cancer fiercely protects her home/land, women and children. Mars is the courageous front line soldier taking up the immediate causes of necessity for the underdogs and in Cancer, especially the women and children! Mars leads them on with courage in his heart, in behalf of his own and the family of man. An independent planet, Mars of Aries, leads the way, giving his unique gifts of the Bowl as no one else can. He visits homes and businesses, senses their needs, shares the news and new techniques they have learned. He asks for help with what his own people need that he can take home with him. Excellent treaties can be made; new businesses started, Pluto may offer funding. Everyone prospers.

The combination of Jupiter square Pluto at 0 degrees, plus Mars opposite Pluto and Mars square Jupiter, is called a T Square. Since Mars is at 29°, the anaretic degree, it hasn’t made its sign change, it’s called an out of sign T Square. Jupiter in Taurus would usually be sextile Mars’ sign Cancer, but they are 89 degrees (square) in the sky, a challenging angle. Mars and Jupiter are both fire planets so both want action, but in Taurus at a slower pace avoiding losing time by mistakes, breakdowns/repairs. In Cancer, more conservative, being more careful so there is no unnecessary jeopardy to community, homes or people. They surely may have some differences of opinion, but for the good of all, may put their hearts into exploration and resolution modes.

The special 29th/anaretic degree has a complex set of possible conditions. As the last degree of a sign, it represents finality, no more can be done, endings, Fate is made, sometimes fatality. It can be celebrations, completion, finally! I like that it has maturity! It often has fear of making mistakes as we start the new sign to come, but also excited anticipation of going forward into new territory!

The opposition between our base and lead planets is in some ways more compatible than at first glance. Pluto and Mars are both fighters, true. They may fight with each other as well as for or with their people. But Pluto in Aquarius is mindful he fights for all. Mars fights for his homies in Cancer. Fighting amongst ourselves, feuds and rivalry, are costly and waste time that could be applied to greater goals. Mars, at the mature anaretic 29th degree, is quick to see what can be changed; Aquarius IS the change maker sign! Pluto and Cancer may carry on, a little grumbly yet, but as they see what works well they let go and get on with things! We are so blessed to have advocates like Mars and Aquarius for us!

Also, Sun and Moon, the New Moon in Taurus, are just about to make terrific sextiles with Mars! Moon is the ruler of Mars’ sign Cancer. She is community minded, there is great rapport and she offers steady support – useful natural simple ideas are passed along to Mars. Sun, another fire planet like Mars, is cheering Mars on in his proposals. Taurus has common sense; Sun lights the way, introduces Mars to fellow advocates! Mars’ leadership is well favored.

Venus is also in Cancer and Taurus is one of her signs. She sees they are all on a good track. She wants to add comfortability and touches of class and beauty. She offers to be a go between, assesses the values at stake, if a raise of value is likely. She’s a blessed business woman catering to household and personal needs. Lovely adornments, clothing and cosmetics, art for your home, old fashioned furniture come her way. She may have the best neighborhood shop with a sweets and coffee bar for morning treats with a side of hugs!

Since Mercury is in Taurus sextile Saturn in Pisces, ocean side real estate may be in the works. Mercury, steady and sensible in Taurus, is quick to see intrinsic value, not just the money, but the spiritual/magical qualities of a property, or person, for that matter. He is genius at making solid connections that last, good clients that say with you for years. The special time he takes with them means a lot. Mercury is moving forward now, gaining speed, ready for more!

Chiron and Uranus are still tracking each other in their famous semisextile again! Please see more about this remarkable 13 year aspect. Over the years, Uranus has become more Shamanic in his humanitarian concerns. Chiron is more on the cutting edge, especially now that he is in Aries! He has become more electric and is acquiring a more humanistic range of healing and teaching. He is networking his teaching far and wide.

Grounding, seeking change and giving leadership are perfect for these new times! Steady on!

Celestial HighLights, Timeline, Overview!.

Aries! Leader of 2023’s Most Important Event!

2023 Archangel of Aries Machidiel

Archangel of Aries Machidiel, is the Bearer of Grace, some call it ‘the focus of grace in the heart of every human being who seeks the truth, the path and the light.’ The beautiful feminine counterpart is Archangel Ariel, the Light of God. 

Machidiel is the Archangel of Courage, fearlessness, adventure. Machidiel’s metal is iron, the color of good red blood! He is the Archangel of just and heartfelt wars, advocacy for causes. If there is danger, he protects you. On the streets he is the emergency responder who saves you in a nick of time.

At the hospital he is in the ER or the children’s ward. Along with red, white is his other color, for White Light and unblemished perfect Purity. Like the newborns he adores, he has a natural personal primal quality of innocence unfettered, fresh, instant creative intelligence! In short, he has a potent quality of forever making new beginnings, every day, every moment, a new awakening, right here and right now! In Aries time, Jayne Tunney says you may ‘feel suddenly able to start a new project or tackle a problem you’ve been putting off.’ 

His special time is Spring equinox. He will help your seeds germinate, that they sprout with strength and health. They may be your garden seeds or the seeds that bring you best living and a better life. 

It’s one thing to talk about an Archangel, quite another to talk about your Aries human! They can be distractible to the point of making you exasperated! Generally, Promise isn’t in their vocabulary. You learn to have no expectations because life changes in a second, little gets finished. You either love ’em as is or leave them or they leave you! They are independent beasts and will cry few tears, too busy, rushing to the next call. At first they will put you on a pedestal, but once you are conquered they may say, next, embracing a new challenge, sigh. They can have a split second temper, then it’s all gone, snap of the fingers. If you like adventure, surprises and flowers on the run, they are your person! You need to be flexible, responsive (read admiring, lol) and speedy! If they have Mercury in Taurus things might be more grounded. Heroic challenging action careers, with lots of variables, will keep them interested – might be vehicle related. They are fast paced ace consultants. Expect sunburn, cuts, head injuries (wear that helmet!), on rare occasions bullets (wear the vest), fevers, infections. They are rarely drinkers/druggies. They cherish their great bodies and have super prowess (Lordy, those fire fighters!)!

In an AstroLogical sense, Aries is the sign of the Zodiacal New Year! It is Spring Equinox, new beginnings, and in 2023 especially so because it happens to celebrate Pluto’s 246 year entry into Aquarius! Aries is a rights fighter, and Aquarius is r/evolutionary humanitarian planetary healer!

This shift is preceded by the Sun entering Aries Mar 20, Aries New Moon Mar 21, a double new beginning! Pluto’s Shift is the 23rd! Pluto’s entry has a FIVE planets in an Aries stellium! The Stellium is even more fascinating because the Sun, the Light, the new Dawn, is at the beginning! Moon, reflecting Sun’s Light, is taking it forward through all the signs, is at the end of the Aries five. So both Moon and Sun, no longer at New Moon, are still in Aries, hence a double Aries chart! 

Between them are Mercury, Chiron and Jupiter, split second thinking – daring ideas, instant healing, and the faith we can do it! What a launch! Please see this amazing Chart and more about it!

Aries is special in that it is the first fire (Light) sign! We are at a potent time of Initiation! It holds the first step of EnLightenment, a perennial verb. We’ve caught a glimpse and are ready to take the journey! It could be your Birth moment, a child’s birth, becoming partners in an important Union, a milestone in life, a profound insight discovered in an unexpected moment, becoming part of a planetary cause.

Inspiration automatically brings Leadership. You just start breathing the excitement, even if it is a very quiet still moment, your heart knows and you can feel it. Time to start meaningful new projects! Your Soul has been waiting for this.

Thank you, Aries, for lighting the divine spark!

Aries Overview 2023 to April 2024!

2023 Aries Dodge Challenger SRT Demon fastest Smokin'!

Whether you are racing or on a road trip, many Aries like a vehicle with excellent handling, sometimes a lot of comfort, and plenty of growl! It might be sneaky fast or smokin’ HOT! The SRT dates back to 1989 when a team known as “Team Viper” was organized to develop the Dodge Viper. The Viper is known for its knockout styling and blazing acceleration! The fastest Dodge ever was the Challenger SRT Demon, 0-60 in 1.9 seconds. Hellcats are fun too, LOL! Maybe you secretly love a good car or a special truck. This might be the year you come out and get one!

2023 features Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto Sign Changes, Super Portal Pluto’s 246 year entry into Aquarius, retrograde back into Capricorn. And, like 2022, makes only 3 outer Planet aspects, only once each, in the first part of the year, all by Jupiter. All the sign changes and the last aspect are made by June 19, and then there is NO other action! Probably the intensity of Pluto’s sign change is enough!

That doesn’t mean YOU won’t have any aspects the rest of the year because the planets are still moving; it’s just that they are not connecting with each other!    

SATURN All of 2022 Saturn was in Aquarius and was until March 7 2023. Saturn, Capricorn’s builder planet, brought oddly variable Aquarian talents together, has built extraordinary resource consulting networks. He has tapped connections, made astute changes quickly, grabbed them while they were available. Keeping up with the times, the changes have enhanced Saturn business immeasurably! Saturn is generally a more serious end game planet. Necessity and timeliness are important. This work has preceded Pluto’s shift into Aquarius, laying the foundation for that transition  

Saturn in Aquarius is semi sextile, neighboring, his own sign Capricorn! He is bringing the Capricorn building skills to bear on Aquarian research and the long term plans of futurist Aquarius. In Pisces March 7, 2023 to May 24, 2025, and again later while retrograde, Saturn sextiles Capricorn. He will be adeptly building the dreams many of us have long been anticipating! 

Capricorn is the high mountain sign. Saturn is Capricorn’s planet, a natural connection with Saturn in Aquarius, the sign after Capricorn! AQ is high elevation cold air, brisk and refreshing. They both like the challenge of discovery, icy winter sports – skating and skiing, freedom! Some neighboring signs, like Cap and AQ get along more easily than others. At times both are accused of being aloof, Capricorn because he is often the ‘cold hearted’ boss, and AQ because he is genius smart – bored and not always understood, thrives on being alone, uninterrupted in the work of the Universe, or game playing on his computer, LOL! They may more seek each other’s company because they are in similar, sometimes related work, building the bones of society in a new world order. They may be coworkers, could become friends. Aquarius tolerates odd differences, and Capricorn may feel more comfortable with this non judgmental person that has a few quirks of his own. Aquarius is useful to Capricorn, inventing what is needed on the fly! Capricorn keeps AQ in line and together they make fine networks. Sciences and research may bring wonderful offerings, especially regarding elder health and longevity, cryogenics. Aquarius is happy to see his work being put into good use. Saturn in Aquarius  

Saturn’s entry into Pisces March 7, 2023 preceded Jupiter conjuncted Chiron in Aries March 11 and the entire Gemini Mars retrograde cycle ending March 16. They all have led to Pluto’s entry into Aquarius March 23! That will be a challenging time of unknowns, demanding circumstances, a combination of soothing the wild, maintaining a stable foundation of many years in the making, and facing outright rebellion! For some it will be an explosion of consciousness! Some will be tightly perched on the abyss vowing to never let go. If it doesn’t activate your chart in any way at that time, you may wonder why all the fuss? Your turn will come.

Saturn in Pisces, the last sign of the Zodiac, will be a time of reckoning as well as maturity and completion. The dreams of all the signs will merge and become collective desire, an ultimate responsibility. 

Compared with Pisces’ sensitivity, Saturn can seem to be a brutally blunt instrument. Pisces is not used to being limited or channeled or pummeled into submission by someone else’s command. 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! Either can be a blessing or an ordeal to each other, probably a little of both 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 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 into Aquarius. Saturn will guard us from having too much empathy too long, being naive and misplacing our empathy. 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 will be new in his sign for only 17 days before Pluto becomes new in Aquarius! Each will make newbie mistakes, be alternately excited or OMG, what have we gotten into, what have I done?! In the beginning trial and error will slow us down, making for tiring long days for many. Saturn in Pisces holds the visions and though sometimes down, 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. Saturn will then be 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, 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 

JUPITER, the planet of travel and education, changes signs in the 12 months to come. He’s in Aries NOW! He speeds through all of Aries and May 16 goes into Taurus for the rest of 2023, on into Gemini May 2024! 

The Pisces/Aries shift, last to first zodiacal signs, was a 12 year shift! Jupiter retrograded briefly back into Pisces Oct 27 to Dec 20, 2022. Winter Solstice, the belly of winter, was warmed by Jupiter back in Aries keeping the coals hot. From there we have had numerous seeds of new beginnings, the ‘return of the Light!’ Aries is self motivated, always in motion, looking for action, taking the cause to the forefront! It’s rolling onward in Aries, gaining momentum, no going back! From then on until May 16, 2023 he speeds through the entirety of Aries in less than 5 months, enters Taurus. What a shift that will be, a damper for some, a rest for others, an 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, he does retrograde, but stays in Taurus until moving into Gemini May 25, 2024.

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, emphasizes, 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! In Aries a lot of ground will be traveled, and quickly too! Sparks will fly off his horse’s hooves! Speed is a delight. Records will be made! Skating, surfing, skiing, biking! Wow! 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! Aries is a first responder type healer. 

Jupiter in Aries may at times seem to be a flash in the pan, but you ARE impressed by his speed! Aries always has news, is never boring, willing to take a chance and fight tigers! What learning curve? Things come almost automatically. Show me once and it’s done! It seems as if time itself is speeded up! Racing here and there is exhilarating! Spreading the news keeps everyone ready for the next step! Independence prevails, no sappy romance for them unless you can keep up! First and New are happy words. Get started and go for everything you wanted. Negotiate big! Be careful to not bang your head, get cut, shot, or burned or get infections and fevers. Allow extra time to avoid accidents, no burnout! Stop to breathe now and then, and eat quality food! You are the good person you are; you don’t have to prove it by being an animal, unless you want to, LOL! 

As Jupiter connects with our personal chart factors during its time in Aries, we will feel like time has sped up, can’t do things quickly enough! Impatience! Aries intends to lead us to greener pastures or new and different places, even just to see what we can see! Jupiter teaches new techniques, tells stories of wonder, goes on adventurous travels! In Aries he tells of heroes, survival, self sufficiency, independence! There is a buoyant physicality – dancing while ‘sitting’ in your chair at the office, walking, skating, bike riding, a cross country trip for a cause! Excellent health!

Aries is the first sign of the zodiac, the first responders. Initiation means more than taking a title. It means doing your vows. Aries are brave leaders, risk takers, rights fighters. They often have to make instant decisions to save lives. They are fiery Spirits that operate on instant instinct, thank goodness! Consulting is one of their best talents. Listen keenly. Ask your questions right now while they are there with you. They will be gone to the next fire quickly. Staying physically fit is essential and can be totally enjoyable. Prowess feels super! Independence is strong. Ride your bike long distances and fix it yourself! Jupiter in Aries makes and guides the travel machines to even speedier outcomes, winners, is first at the new destination! 

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 and patient 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!

As signs change, talents are commingled, the Path between them becoming a usable channel. Jupiter in Pisces, Aries and Taurus 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, maintain their own life. When Pluto enters Aquarius, Jupiter will be 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!

Planetary Aspect Portals Crater Lake Circular Rainbow

Portals are all around us.

Some are temporary, some are always there. Some are annual like the August 8 Lion’s Gate. No two are alike, take us different places. Some are one way, others are two way but perhaps only at certain intervals – you have to be there or… Some lifetimes there are none, others have several passages. And there are the portals into and out of life. In astrology these are sign changes and aspects formed between planets. 2023’s big one is Pluto’s 246 year sign change into Aquarius!

 

Jupiter in Aries makes three planetary aspects. All three once only, no retrograde second and third chances. The first aspect is significantly just days before Pluto shifts into Aquarius. This last period of time before the great change is vitally important to prepare and strengthen our Aquarians and Aquarian principles. Jupiter in the first sign of the zodiac, Aries, will work planting seeds and ideas in key places, pivot points. There will be some play time, good to rest and relax, then we’ll stretch our physical and spiritual muscles and take action!

First, the March Pluto countdown dates: 

March:
07
 Virgo-Pisces Full Worm MoonSaturn into Pisces
11 Jupiter conjunct Chiron in Aries
16 Mars finishes entire retrograde cycle
20 Happy Aries, Spring Equinox/Ostara, International Astrology Day!
21 First Aries New Moon, FIVE Planets Aries Stellium!

23 Pluto’s 246 year shift into Aquarius!

March 7, Saturn enters Pisces four days before Jupiter conjuncts Chiron in Aries! Pisces is the sign of the dreamer that inspires Aries! Saturn is still stumbling in watery fluid Pisces, getting his sea legs. Pisces is known for whimsy and being nonlinear, very different than by-the-book straight arrow Saturn of Capricorn. Once used to this new medium he will be able to disappear, float, navigate silently. He will look for the meaning as well as how the puzzle pieces fit. If Jupiter in Aries forgets the principles, the why, runs away, Saturn will haunt him, just kidding, call him back to the Soul’s purpose, refresh the visionary dream!

Jupiter’s three 2023 Aspects – March 11, May 16/17, June 19:

1) Powerful leadership!Jupiter in Aries conjuncted Chiron, March 11, thirteen days before Pluto goes into Aquarius! Jupiter and Aries can easily overdo things, may fall into injury, ills may be exacerbated, made much of, or remarkably quickly heal!!! If difficult, it may be important steps of your growth process. Major cures may be sought, finally! Long standing illnesses may fall away all by themselves as other fun things in life become your focus! Lucky Jupiter gives public education, publicity and perspective, generally has excellent personal health, longevity – a perfect poster person at any age! Chiron is the old shamanic healer tested by the Gods! In Aries he imposes his independence, uses and promotes cutting edge techniques and remedies, hopefully to your great advantage! Neither Jupiter nor Aries are the marrying kind unless there are other chart factors that change the balance, so don’t fall in love with the Dr. or teacher, but you can have super adventures together, LOL!  See More   Chiron in Aries

PLUTO makes 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 21 years, until January 2044! See more!

  • Pluto in Aquarius will bring a new time. Pluto is water sign Scorpio’s planet and Pluto and air sign 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 used to going it alone and having plenty of behind the scenes power, but Aquarius may be calling on the pantheon that collectively has more power than Pluto and his corporations! Transparency is called for. 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 synthesize for mutual goals. They will do fundraising like never seen before! Pluto may gather the world’s top wealthy humanitarians and sustainable advocates and make governments of countries look small by comparison. Since these groups will have no governmental constraints, they may bring the world together when governments couldn’t. By comparison, the financially unsupported United Nations may become passé, or it’s possible, its structure already in place, may be revitalized! Comprehensive large scale inventor/researcher work could do very well to sustain and amplify their efforts.
  • All the Aquarian flavored aspects we had in 2021, early 2022, gave us a head start. We’ll do Pluto in Aquarius better! Pluto was last in Aquarius 246 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 246 years ago we now have bombs, climate change, an ongoing pandemic, electronic communication, robotics, and a helluva a lot more people on the planet. In the 1700s there were an estimated 603M, at the end of 2021, 7.9B. Water and weather wars are possible. Actually, water wars are already starting – pollution prevention, Detroit, Standing Rock. We need to reassess our mandates for leadership – age and both physical and mental health. There are going to be some bumps. Some say, after the kinks are worked out, there will be a ‘Golden Age!’ Make it so. Or maybe that would be just toooo boring and other things will happen, LOL! Next! Evolution is no quitter!
  • Young people born around 2003 will be about 20 in March 2023 and from 20 until they are 41, they will live this period. Their lives will be about this world changing time. Help them now. Prepare them to be strong and steady leaders. Strengthen everything Aquarius in your life. Capricorn will care for them, raise them, teach them life skills, put them to work. Show them the ways of the world. They will be able to maintain, live sustainably even in hard times and will teach their own children the important principles and skills of their time.
  • We need to strengthen our Aquarian young people, our future leaders, and all Aquarians! Pluto is tough on the sign it is in and at the same time empowers them! Pluto’s sign Scorpio squares, challenges Aquarius, so Pluto will be especially tense in Aquarius in the beginning. Growing pains take strength. Take time to listen, cheer them on. Admire their broad scope, how they get teams going, their care for humanity and our planet, their inventions and science. Help them know how to carry on even when they are not appreciated or understood. They are so intelligent, ahead of their time. They know that not everyone will understand their work, yet the work needs doing. Reassure them they will get better at it.
  • Preparation for Pluto entering Aquarius has taken steady and dedicated work, staying focused. Everything about how groups and friendships work, even now the Souls who can do this need to be gathered and trained and to practice, establish seed networks. The importance and techniques of research, knowing how change is brought about successfully, are the goals. The foundation needs to be set. It has been and will continue to be explored, tested and trialed by Saturn in the remaining time until the shift, and while Pluto is initially in Aquarius. 

Pluto is a water planet whose sign Scorpio sextiles Capricorn and Pluto has been in Capricorn since 2008, will be off and on through 2024, 16 years! Pluto and Capricorn are very business minded, Capricorn at the counter, Pluto behind the scenes. They know how to work together. There have been losses and gains, dark sadness and amazing successes celebrated! See Pluto in Capricorn There will be a substantial foundation in place when Pluto goes into Aquarius. Since Saturn, Capricorn’s planet, has been in Aquarius since 2020, new techniques and networks are already in place for Pluto in Aquarius to step into. See Saturn in Aquarius Pluto will take over, and like a new president, will select his own cabinet team. Changes will be made. Pluto will make Aquarius more powerful. Some irreparable mistakes will be made, but learning in genius Aquarius will go quicker than lightning! Pluto is intense and extreme at times, gets to the bottom of things, so reboots will be quick too! Unlike his usual self, his new obsession will be deeper friendships than ever before and more of them, powerful networking! New expectations will be beyond remarkable.  

Pluto guards many secrets, financial status, the privacy of patients’ well being often depends on it. Capricorn understands business confidentiality and research protection. He is all for Pluto wanting you to be stabilized within yourself, heal the cause of troubles, be able to protect yourself and maintain your gains. Your new life will be so busy. Pluto/Scorpio is the Kundalini fire within, ignited at the threshold. It represents transformation and its release! Many will be coming out of the darkness, happy to be here! Newborn babes. Capricorn will be called on to organize the recruits! He will be his best self, full of vim and vigor! He puts it all to work with a delighted saucy grin on his face! The best is yet to come, of course!

Aquarius and Capricorn are both flying high! Aquarius does the research; Capricorn manages the backup team and inaugurates some of his own! Aquarius is in the plane; Capricorn is likely on the ground, in the control tower, assuring all the materials are ordered, gathered and arrive when and where needed. The cause is righteous and the more people the merrier! Pluto has seen this happen before, loves the intensity, lets them go on intuition. They are on their way on the rails, their own momentum carrying them forward! Invention after invention will inspire them onward, each begetting the next! Pluto will step in if needed.

Evolution continues. Some go kicking and screaming. Others are happily screaming on that roller coaster on their way to glory!

2) Jupiter in Taurus squares Pluto in Aquarius, sextiles Saturn in Pisces. 

Taurus is our body, our basic ‘possession,’ the body of Earth herself. 

May 16/17 Jupiter enters Taurus and immediately makes its first aspect, square Pluto at 0 Taurus/Aquarius! Both on new ground, that will be a tough transition for many, involving major financial matters, extreme weather. Taurus is a powerful sign, both ‘stubborn’ and steadfast. Jupiter is a giant force looking for the power of peace, connection with Earth, the land and soil, its animals, the trees, food for our bodies, Heart and Soul, clean water. Environmental situations are being reviewed, how we travel our sphere. Our land is so important because it leads to the ocean. Values are changing as we have environmental extremes, questions about where to live safely. Jupiter, that has always ruled longevity, is being challenged by a pandemic, by stressful perspectives politically, environmental conditions including water pollution and scarcity. One can no longer be so blithe about the many issues at hand. These powerful real concerns, stress, can indicate more poor health, including mental health, at pandemic levels. The old solution, to move somewhere else, is a lot less viable now that we have, at the end of 2021, 7.9B population. There are no new easy living frontiers, and Jupiter’s adventure travel map to unknowns is dwindling as drought and dangerous areas are increasing. 

Taurus challenges Pluto, the planet of Scorpio, Taurus’s opposite! Taurus likes being rooted and stable, with a secure income. He likes personal ownership, land under his feet he can depend on to be there. Scorpio has powerful connections and deals with money in any form he can! He likes interest, making loans, insurance, mortgages, inheritances, the bigger the amount the better. He can lose everything and make it all back again plus more! Taurus prefers a strong and steadily growing relationship. Scorpio is more willing to take on a mate with special needs, financial, emotional, health related. But if they can merge fortunes that’s terrific! Prenups are more common for them. 

Taurus squares Aquarius. He is Earthy; Aquarius is boundless air! Jupiter thinks everyone needs an education, some perspective, and faith no matter what! Taurus likes well grounded hands on experience. Pluto doesn’t usually like tell-all-Jupiter, but sometimes will plant a leak so what he wants to get out, gets out. Though he appears not to listen, believe me, he wants to know what he’s up against, and now, May 2023, in Aquarius almost 2 months, he’s been waiting for Jupiter’s 2¢ because Jupiter always brings expansive ideas! Newly in AQ, he needs all the help he can get! The potency of squares is sometimes what we need to make us aware of what’s up. If there are losses, scandals, slander, they will be big, in time the Truth will out with shame and blame, possibly financial loss. Yet even if in a challenge or catastrophe, Jupiter usually wants the best for everyone though it may take some doing. In Taurus he doesn’t give up. So, clear the debris, mend the fallout. Off to the races we go! Aquarius stands by, to quickly assess possibilities. There will be some remarkable breakthroughs and revelations due to the shifts! This aspect happens only once. Don’t miss the opportunity for a tune up! Listening to each other will free us to open doors! Ask questions. Check with your astrologer(s) to see if your chart is involved.

Jupiter of Sagittarius and Pluto of Scorpio are pseudo neighbor signs. There is a natural camaraderie. Though neighbor signs are so different, they do know each other. Taurus is Scorpio’s opposite; both are possession and financially oriented, enjoy sex. Scorpio and Taurus both square Aquarius. Though they are all fixed signs, AQ surprises, upsets the status quo, at times to their favor. Hmm… Jupiter and Aquarius love the whole idea of growth and changes, traveling anywhere! If Taurus and Pluto get their finances in order and make even bigger deals, they can do splendidly together if they agree on how, where and what to invest in! Jupiter in Taurus is improving Taurus’s standing already. Pluto in Aquarius will be the 21 year long aspect, so this is just the beginning and needs that reliable seed income to grow. If Pluto can convince them of the long term benefits AQ will bring, differences will be readily overcome. See more Jupiter square Pluto

Jupiter in Taurus and Capricorn will be empowered again when Pluto retrogrades back into Capricorn June 11, 2023 through Jan 20, 2024. Taurus and Capricorn are both Earth signs looking for practical common-sense solutions and Pluto’s sign Scorpio sextiles Capricorn! There will be additional opportunities to be researched, put into operation. Not to be missed, that six month window will be short!  See more Jupiter in Taurus  See Pluto in Capricorn

Taurus is delighted with fellow earth sign Capricorn. Capricorn knows Taurus is trustworthy, has common sense, can procure substantial materials, isn’t going anywhere else. At times Taurus may be a little slow compared to brisk Capricorn, and Taurus won’t be rushed or pushed around. Cap frets because of deadlines, but slow sometimes pays off as weak spots are discovered and resolved. Hire some more help if possible. Taurus can calm Capricorn and they become strong friends. Taurus protects his money and at times may loan some to Capricorn when needed. Cap keeps his promises and pays back in a timely fashion. Taurus is strong, has endurance and Capricorn is wiry and nibble, can go forever! They may take to the mountains with grand views! Timbers, stones, mines and minerals and earth moving can be their mediums. Taurus walks the land in all seasons; Capricorn is the architect using Taurus insights for sheltering locations, natural water resources. 

3) June 19, Jupiter in Taurus sextile Saturn in Pisces, is the last aspect of 2023! After that time there are no more sign changes or further aspects! That doesn’t mean YOU won’t have any aspects the rest of the year because the planets are still moving; it’s just that they are not connecting with each other!

Now that the initial challenging square with Pluto has passed, Jupiter will speed up Taurus. Taurus will likely absorb some of Jupiter’s action and translate it to more solid application, actually getting more done. There will be less time for running around, running away. Taurus will be intrigued with some of Jupiter’s thinking and broader perspectives. In Taurus, Jupiter may find a longing to return to the land of his forbears. It is a natural homing instinct for grounding and centering. Ley Lines may take on an unexpected significance. A journey may be made along a path that many have taken. As each Pilgrim travels over the ground, a fraction of their scent is left, an imprint added to all the others of before, compelling the Pilgrim to follow. The content of the scent shifts and the purpose of the destination changes with the times as the content is altered. The collective scent alters the collective consciousness of the most recent travelers. We all are walking through time together.

With Saturn, the Capricorn planet, opportunities will be put to good use and tempered through time. Saturn in Pisces will ‘read’ the Pisces dreamtime and Pisces will lead him through these remarkable channels. He will incorporate the wisdom of Saturn elders on the Path and the infinite Pisces insights to beyond the Jupiter destination! It will be more productive than ever expected!    

Definitely time for more options and opportunities. Jupiter’s manner may be a bit ‘big’ for Taurus’s peaceful style, but the ideas are intriguing. Whether stock or plants, the two can work out what breeds and varieties make sense. Taurus will need to hear and hands on test how the ideas can be implemented. Saturn and Taurus, both earthy, work well together. Taurus grows the food, landscapes. Saturn looks for workable shelter and building locations, builds the greenhouse, backs up with current research and in Pisces, secures the water situation. Business can improve steadily. With Pisces visions and sensitivity, they are guided gently to open up to working intricately together. Jupiter is good at teaching and the whole crew will be on board, especially when the results start coming in. 

Saturn likes Jupiter’s far sighted long term plans, expansive steady financial growth in Taurus. Saturn, like Taurus, is conservative and protective, provides a realistic framework for managing funds, secures or builds structures for homes and business that will last, ie those sustainable tiny homes or ADUs – Accessory Dwelling Units! Pisces and Capricorn’s planet Saturn, water and earth, dreamer and worker, will aspire to building a temple of life and spirit, and it will draw pilgrims from afar. Pisces looks at Soul matters. Jupiter will be the preacher! Saturn is quite happy that Jupiter is an action oriented fire planet, no supervision needed – just keep it interesting so Jupiter doesn’t wander off! Greater meaning makes the work they do important to many more people. It insures a deep connection of Spirit that is as well a blessing to their life work, careers and business, to say nothing of their health. There is great promise. See more

Enjoy these powerful intense times! The possibilities are compelling!


The Galactic Center, Fixed Star Algol and Planet Pluto!

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

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

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

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

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

Pluto is now at 29 Capricorn/0 Aquarius and moves only 3° a year. Pluto retrogrades back and forth through the degrees as it travels. 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. Pluto has been having the Algol experience, and is one of the few who can stand up under this trial. Very luckily, the trine is the most favorable angle, so though not unscathed, he survives. Both Pluto and Algol are respected and incur life and death situations. One hopes the trine bends the relationship with Algol to a more satisfactory outcome. Earth signs, like Capricorn, especially being the last Earth sign, are a bit ‘indelible.’ Their effects are more long lasting. Keep turning the tables on Algol’s bad rep. Stay calm in the face of violence, even your own anger. Shift your connections so better can happen. Know your rights and choose safety unless/even if you are trying to save someone’s life. If you are the offender, get all the help you can to change. Many a fine leader has come from a dark place. See more!

As to that great fierce feminine troublemaker Algol in Taurus, Capricorn is in a favorable working trine. Capricorn is rather invincible himself, gets stronger as he gets older! He too is protective, so has empathy and a very respectful rapport. Capricorn knows power when he sees it, and knows to engage carefully. Algol may find it intriguing that Capricorn may want to renovate some long standing troubles into viable situations. She doesn’t have to scare this one. He has had troubles of his own, and pulled himself up. He is a natural hard worker. Their mutual satisfaction may bring amazing laughter, loosening some of her age old pain and some of his, more recent. There is hope against the odds!

Capricorn is the neighboring sign just beyond Sagittarius, the Galactic Center’s own sign! He has watched the GC’s mighty strides all his life. In fact, some of that huge well of information has always been a part of him. Without much ado, many Capricorns have phenomenal insights and successes. They work and work and work, inspired by what they know can happen. Cap learns early what his boundaries are, and generally doesn’t overstep his position. They really are not to be underestimated. They are masters of their trades, fine mentors. They take strong parental, family and community responsibility. 

♦♦ When Pluto is in Aquarius, some think Pluto will be getting a bit beyond the range considered to have effect for these types of aspects. But. The GC has an enormous range, Aquarius, the sign of the heavens, is by nature resonant to the Galaxy. I would still allow for their connection. Sagittarius is a mighty traveler, no distance too far, and Aquarius is the sign of flight. Easy travels for them and a huge range of knowledge passes between them. That gets shared by Sagittarius stories and teaching, and through the Aquarian electric computer humanitarian networking! There will be fewer strangers on the planet. We will ‘know’ each other, be fellow travelers – Sagittarius and friends – Aquarius. Our hearts and minds will be expanded. Pluto keeps thing clean and clear, heals the deeper schisms that occur in our fears, the deepest dark roots corners that have been in our memories for centuries. A true freedom and unity become possible.  

So, when Pluto is in Aquarius, some will still consider PL to still be trine Algol, called an out-of-sign trine. Aquarius and Taurus are not famously easy together. They are fixed signs, in spite of AQ being the sign of r/evolutionary change! Each has strong opinions, Taurus usually quieter about it; Aquarius making headlines! When they get along, Taurus rules grounding, while AQ rules the heavens, Heaven and Earth! In their own ways each stable, but they sure have different vantage points! Taurus is growing veggies while AQ is out gallivanting in behalf of the planet. Taurus calms Aquarius and supports his sorties. AQ knows there is someone to come home to that accepts him, is patient, sensible, dependable, and AQ trusts. Aquarius keeps Taurus up on the latest and fully spices his life. Geometrically, they are trine, a favorable aspect, so there are differences, but their ‘heavenly’ relationship is to their favor.

AstroLocality!

If your changes during 2023, 24, include moving, you are or will be truly on Jupiter in Aries time through May 16! Jupiter is location; Aries is new! He feels refreshed when on that land. It’s a springboard! Jupiter in Taurus chooses land that makes him feel a connection that feels good under his feet!

If you already moved, take a look at your AstroLocality map and Relocation Charts to see the meaning of your move and its potentials! If you haven’t picked your location yet, or have but not moved yet, you might change your mind. First, take a look at maps that show areas of conflict, drought, disasters. Conflicts take years of recovery; droughts and disasters take years of remediation. Think in terms of sustainability and a clean water supply. See your AstroLocality astrologer for advices on personal locations best for what and the best timing! Depending on your finances, be cautious about moves during 2023 Mercury and Venus retrograde periods, especially their double retrograde time. If it is a necessity at a retrograde time, know that there will be further changes and factor in the costs that go with that. If you are buying a home as well, top priority may be that it is a good investment per resale value since you may change your mind about keeping it. Renting is recommended until times are more stable. With the Jupiter sign change in May, and the Saturn and Pluto changes in March, a lot of mind changing will be happening. Also, Pluto retrogrades back into Capricorn June 11 through Jan 2024.

Particularly note that late summer we are looking at heartful and hardworking Leo/Virgo Venus/Mercury DOUBLE RETROGRADE! The Venus retrograde cycle 12 to 28 Leo starts first, June 19 (the day of the Jupiter sextile Saturn – the last 2023 aspect), finishes Oct 7. It is retrograde July 22 – Sep 3. Mercury starts his cycle Aug 3, finishes Sep 29, 8 to 21 Virgo 49. He is Rx Aug 23 to Sep 15. The DOUBLE RX is at back to school time, off to college, a common time to move, Aug 23 to Sep 3 (Labor Day weekend)! Don’t be surprised if there soon is another housing change… See more, Item 2) at this link!

Returns! Returns are a special time when a planet orbits back to your original birth point. It reminds you of the purity of its purpose in your life. Saturn’s refreshes your outlook on your Dharma, the work of your Soul. Jupiter’s refreshes your gift of how you learn/teach and travel life! If your return is in a degree that will be in retrograde, you will have it three times.

During Aries’ year, Saturn covers 0 to 12 Pisces. Those of you with your Saturns in those degrees will be having your 28/29 year Saturn Return(s)!

If your Jupiter is 16 Aries, to 15 Taurus, you will have your 11/12 year Jupiter Return(s) in Aries’ year. 

Lunar patterns 2023-24!

New Moons: 21 and 20 degrees, Sep 14, 2023 to March 10, 2024. April 8, 2024 at 19 degrees.
Full Moons: 4 and 5 degrees, Oct 28, 2023 to April 23, 2024  

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

Aries is the Sign that hosts Pluto’s new mission in Aquarius! We will be having an intense year as we get started making significant world changes and personal changes finding our places in this new time! Pluto will be retrograding back into Capricorn to strengthen that foundation. He will bring more of Capricorn’s important worthy work of this last 14 years forward into the new auspice of Aquarius. Cap deserves the recognition. Aquarius is blessed. Thank you to all you Aries types for your facilitating these key changes!

Blessed New Beginnings!
