2024 April – June 
TAURUS and June GEMINI Stelliums!

Stelliums Separate yet in Union Goddess Women Dancing!

Stelliums are Potent Gatherings of Planets & Talents composed of Separate Forces in Union! Beautiful Goddess Women Dancing ~

April to June TIMELINE Taurus-Gemini Stelliums!

Stelliums are magical living planetary systems! They ebb and flow as planets join and leave. There may be a slower moving anchor planet(s) that is key throughout. It maintains the master message as each planet, in turn, contributes their unique wisdom and energy as they enter and leave in divine timing. All the planets merge with each other being of the same sign energy. The whole becomes greater than the parts! Some stelliums have no anchor planet, as if appearing like a cloud then vaporizing altogether. Watch how they change the stellium’s flavors as the planets change positions. A little group of three may become four, then five or more, then one by one, they return to three as planets move along, then they disperse altogether, leaving perhaps only an invisible imprint, a memory. But maybe they gift us with a new talent, special people, new ways of merging expertise. Never underestimate their potency.

The whole event can happen to you alone, and at the same time, you with others combining all your skills! Each planet is separate yet all are blending, merging. Camaraderie, multiplicity, intensity. Stelliums can be a captivating and an encapsulating experience not to be missed! Those of you with planets in these signs will be especially engaged, especially if you have a natal stellium in the same sign! You might enjoy looking up the sequence of your own stellium, when you were born, to see the significance of the moment you stepped into life, the special part that is emphasized for you that you play in the stellium that you give to us.

Omega – Alpha! As a circle, the Zodiac symbolizes life never ending, the Infinity of the Soul. The Pisces ~ Aries sequence represented the profound time of the last zodiac sign Pisces passing the baton to the first zodiac sign, Aries. Completion, maturity, comprehension, ending, letting go releasing, blessings, to Initiation and New Beginnings, the future dreams made to become true! Now, in the Taurus – Gemini stelliums sequence, Taurus anchor the valuable gains Aries has inaugurated and Gemini spreads the good word, shows us how to put them into use, continues to add to the data bank.

These 2024 Stelliums finish in June as the inner planets pass by the outer planets. The charts will disperse from focused Bundle formations, spread to Bowls, and explore onward with more diversity. Bundles, Bowls   Bucket, Fan & Seesaw Charts

Our Full and New Moons have been and continue to be potent and pregnant with stelliums! Both Pisces Full and New Moons had 4 planet stelliums in Pisces and the so did the Mar 25 Aries Lunar Eclipse Full Moon!  April 8 was the FIVE planets Aries TOTAL Solar ECLIPSE! April 23, has a three sign mini stellium series! May 7 New Moon has FIVE in Taurus; the May 23 Flower Moon has 4 in Taurus! The last lunar event having a stellium is June 6’s FIVE in Gemini New Moon!

Many have been feeling this intensity, and will continue to. Different signs offer special methods, and with the mixes of planets and each of their talents as well, a lot is being offered. Some long standing matters will be sorted out and healed as several fixes can get applied all at once. It’s a rich experience!

The first stelliums were in Pisces, 46 days and Aries 15 days!

Pisces specializes in Perception – hearing, seeing, sensitivity, insights, dreams. Music, visions, knowing without seeing or knowledge, super awareness, feeling color, imagination, connection with Spirit, unseen dimensions. Leads to empathy, compassion, understanding, serenity. Can be a pretender, sometimes suffering addiction or chronic disease, or a Savior, one who guides the Soul’s passage from one realm to another. It’s a different kind of intelligence, a wisdom of its own kind, spiritual Grace.

Aries is super charged, has mental and physical prowess! Courageous and fearless fast thinkers, they are first to leap forward, a leader fast on his feet, warrior, protector, defender, rescuer! Front liner, stands up for you, children, animals, policeman, fireman, all around champion. As a life saving first responder, healer, his intuition is instantaneous and amazingly accurate. Nothing stops them. They drive like demons and win the races, do the healing. Their inspiration can’t be beat! Those physical therapists have you back on your feet in no time! You are breathing big! Thank the stars! See their post!

The two last 2024 Stellium signs are Taurus and Gemini, have 3 Five Planets Stelliums! 

TAURUS is grounded, but can charge if provoked! He will provide for you, defend you, hold you, strengthen you. Organic worth and simplicity are basic tenets. Being comfortable, kind and gracious, peaceful, taking time to think, are markers he is noted for. He loves the land and our earth, animals, living in harmony with habitat. Relationships can be long with mutual respect and kindly patience, valuing the differences, each has to offer. Generally he won’t be pushed around, so go in knowing negotiations might take a bit longer, but will be worth every minute. If successful, there will be long term steady returns and you will have a good friend. He can sit like the Buddha, or stand in a field, savoring the Universe while finding the best blessed answers.

The 25 day Taurus Stellium has four-five planets starting April 29 to May 23. It has TWO 5 planet stelliums, one is 5 days, May 15-20! That second(!) in Taurus 5 planet stellium has a super FOUR planet conjunction of Venus in its own sign, with Uranus, Sun, and Jupiter, all in only 8 degrees! As Venus closes with Uranus on the 18th, they are in only 6 degrees!  

Taurus has two outer planet anchors, Uranus and Jupiter! Uranus is the collective consciousness of humanity. It is a genius with freedom in mind, creator and inventor! It enjoys being single, uninterrupted, living with its computer. Sometimes there are many friends, all so different and intriguing! Taurus is encountering a huge range of ideas and possible systems. He is sensible, so takes advantage of the amazing ideas at his fingertips. Uranus even offers the most amazing ways to do it! Uranus has been in Taurus since May 15, 2018, is now in its final time. It will end April 25, 2026, a total of 8 years. He has been electrifying every earthly molecule. Uranus’ consort was Gaia (Gaea), the earth, Taurus!  We have been witnessing many earth changes…and they will continue.

Jupiter makes for plentiful crops in Taurus. Travel is by earth, autos, campers, pack trains, trains. It is more leisurely and appreciative, even meditational like the Buddha seeking Peace. Jupiter tells the stories, some funny, others full of ideas gathered along the way, joyfully embellished and thought provoking. He is always the teacher. In Taurus he may keep it more sensible and practical. Keeping up to date is refreshing! Relationships may get more usefully connected as profound thoughts are shared. Jupiter may just up and leave. Taurus may not be happy, but sees the truth and purpose of it. Health may be taken care of more completely as options are realized. Our body is our basic vehicle traveling life. It needs good care.

Jupiter is in each sign about a year, so this is it! He is finishing Taurus NOW, May 25, into Gemini. So he is engaging in both the Taurus AND Gemini stelliums! He links them! He passes the baton with Taurus wisdoms to Gemini to explore and promote!

GEMINI is a complicated communications specialist! All kinds. They have a lot of flex, are fast minded, quick to learn, enjoy fast games/sports like tennis, gymnastics. They do get distracted, so check on their progress, regroup on priorities, keep right on going for it! They are curious and generally wide eyed, friendly, enthusiastic, and can find out anything! Campaigns are right up their ally. Sales are easy. Relationships tend to be multiple and fascinating! Health is lungs, allergies, hands and arms. They can be funny, pickpockets and tricksters! They do walk and talk, are fascinating serial story tellers, LOL. Have them write the script. Set your silent alarm and excuse yourself to keep your own schedule. Healing by laying on of hands is one of their precious skills.

Gemini’s outer anchor planet becomes Jupiter! Gemini is opposite Jupiter’s sign Sagittarius! There is a complete spread of ideas implied! Gemini loves every particle of anything that can carry the breath of life! Jupiter enjoys the world’s entire buffet of being! They love exploration, mind expansion, implosion, explosions of awareness! Gemini wants to know how it fits, while Jupiter wants to know what it means, its perspective in life’s principles! Gemini is generally neighborly, loves siblings and twins, is close at hand in the community. Jupiter has chain stores, loves imports/exports, travel biz. Gemini does ads/promos while Jupiter writes and publishes books, holds conferences around the world. Together they cover the bases! They can marry foreigners, speak several languages. Oddly, Jupiter can be quite opinionated, even prejudiced, but generally they both are quite broadminded. Gemini can have allergies, but Jupiter may keep him too busy to notice and he’s gotta keep up! Burn out is possible. We will all learn how and when to take rest. Watch your quality of food especially when you are busiest!

The stellium is June 3 to 16, only 13 days, but potent it is! June 5-7 has Five planets in Gemini, the New Moon on the 6th. It has a sweet conjunction with Venus, all at 16°! Love, appreciation, affection, kindness, beauty, grace, blessings! Say those words you want to say! Do explain why you haven’t spoken before. No gossip please. If you are on a data gathering mission, now is the time to spread the word and seek results! Take some super training on computer, writing, massage, laying on of hands. Attend a fab conference. Let people know what you have to offer. Write, write, write! Accept the offer to do some public speaking, and up your resume. Expand your breath. Keep your eyes wide open and scanning. Notice motion. Mimic the best! Have fun, keep your molecules Happy, live longer, LOL! Run the race with gusto!

The Taurus-Gemini stelliums follow the April 20 Jupiter conjunct Uranus in Taurus! It’s taking many planets to sort and store infos and exploits of the amazing conjunction, focusing on the important principles of Taurus. They are concurrently stabilizing the platform for Jupiter sextile Neptune May 23, and 3 days later Jupiter’s 11/12 year shift into Gemini May 25! This is Jupiter’s last aspect in Taurus, no going back. His first aspect in Gemini will be right away; June 2 is Jupiter trine Pluto! We all want to be well grounded and ready for that combination! Financial potential!

April 23 Scorpio-Taurus Full Pink Moon! 

Tuesday April 23, 4:49 PM Pacific at 4 Scorpio-Taurus 18!                    

Work together for planetary goals, mindful of the offerings of one sign to the next ~

2024 Scorpio-Taurus Beautiful Full Pink Moon!

Strong Scorpio Moon peeking through the clouds, wanting her privacy, but sooo curious.

The Taurus Full and New Moons follow the April 20 Jupiter conjunct Uranus! It’s taking the many planets, of the Moons and stelliums, to sort and store infos and exploits of the amazing conjunction, focusing on the important principles of Taurus. They are concurrently stabilizing the platform for Jupiter sextile Neptune May 23, and 3 days later is Jupiter’s 11/12 year shift into Gemini May 25! This is Jupiter’s last aspect in Taurus, no going back. His first aspect in Gemini will be right away; June 2 is Jupiter trine Pluto! We all want to be well grounded and ready for that combination! Financial potential!

This Full Moon chart has powerful features! The most unusual is 3 signs in a row are having 3 planets each, 3 mini stelliums! The inner planets, except Mama Moon, are mingling with the outer planets. The very last sign, Pisces of Dreams for all, Aries the first, the Action Master, Taurus founders that stabilize and tend the Keepers!

  • Mars is ringing the Pisces ashram bells, has leapt on the fire truck, is rushing to the concert! He has passed Saturn. they were incredibly productive, made some records all their own. With Neptune, Mars is challenging old untouchable tenets, spiritual premises, and making some headway! Some are scared, what’s next?! Some are thankful and cheering him on! Old rules are being broken, maybe too many too quickly. New rules are being made and are up for testing. That goes for Pisces businesses as well – cruise ships, seaside enterprises, saving oceanic habitat, fishing, many more. The art world is changing with AI on the front. Music, film and theater are making arresting shifts! Mars is making dreams come true! He’s coming right up and calling you out to let go of any addictions you hide and carry! Release yourself from the darkness of your own making. Mars is quite the Tiger. He is so independent he doesn’t usually merge, but being in Pisces with Neptune the Pisces planet, he may feel himself unaccountably experiencing a joining of Souls. He may surprise all, and join the Ashram himself!
  • Chiron in Aries is between Mercury and Venus! Venus dropped the blessings Sunday, the 21st. She admired his courage, fight for better health and meaningful business, was excited by his new ideas and how quickly he implements them! She in turn picked up some health and leadership tips and he touched her heart.
    .
    Mercury went past Chiron, saw him again while retrograde. Mercury in Aries is wasting no time, carrying his words and thinking to the people. He is Retrograde in his Mercury Direct station that started Sunday the 21st, so the blessings Venus brought, and Chiron’s informations, are being held still while Mercury ponders, synthesizes and chooses and anchors the keepers that will be held in the foundation for reference in ongoing distribution. Mercury technically goes forward April 25, but wait until after the 28th for the station to finish and Mercury gains forward motion. Mercury will make his final conjunction with Chiron May 6. Time to celebrate some mind/mental healing that has occurred. Chiron will be delighted at Mercury’s quick progress. Hi and goodbye, see you next year!
    .
    The Moon’s North Node is right there with Mercury, both retrograde. Retro is NN’s general motion. Mercury’s direct degree is 15 Aries 58, so he doesn’t make the exact connection with NN. NN gets away, slowly continues his 19 year circuit! But they have been together Mercury’s entire 8 Day direct station. Of the North and South Node axis, the North is working to balance the two opposite signs involved. The South was in Libra of partnerships. We are working toward Aries independence. Mercury has been emphasizing independence with his stay in Aries. This has been a profound boon to the North Node, practically dwelling in the Aries mind, learning from his thinking!
  • Sun in Taurus hasn’t caught up yet with Uranus and Jupiter, but he will! With Uranus May 13, the day the Mercury cycle ends! Change and freedom! Time for a new ID card! Sun is self aware, Himself! With humanitarian networker Uranus he becomes a friend with others at new levels. Whether there is an organization or loose alliances that check in with each other to keep informed, the new connections will be valuable and all will make greater progress together. Taurus takes his time and is excellent at assessing useful, real, sensible, associations. Generally you can trust him and he will be there for you.
    .
    Sun with Jupiter happens May 18 at 11:45 AM Pacific. If your chart factors connect (see your Astrologers), take advantage of this specially lucky, fame and fortune aspect! If you are an over eater, get some specially right food and feast easy the whole week and a few days after this conjunction. Taurus loves their food. If you are opening a BNB with a restaurant, now is the time! See your astrologer if that is true for you! If it is select your perfect date and time. If you are taking a trip, make it a road trip, see the country, take the train, take your time and really enjoy it. Camp or glamp! Go to the family cowboy ranch camp. School is ending for many, have a hella proud grad party! This is also a super valuable time to start some education for financial purposes – business and investment skills. Get a coach or a mentor that lives what they teach! Finish your book and publish it! Show your big pooch at the dog show!
    .
    Mars recently sextiled Uranus and Jupiter, so he has spiced up their intents and purposes! It’s not just what your do, but, Pisces style, it’s why you do it, what the Soul wants! They are energized by Mars’ actions that make you believe he is with you. Uranus moves with bigger steps knowing the time is NOW. Jupiter knows the script is nothing without making it happen! A story, a movie are just the beginning!
  • Since Jupiter has passed Uranus as of their super recent conjunction April 20, he is now the outer planet group leader. He is learning the ropes and will do well. He is robust, has fearless courage, can be generous, always the teacher with plans for the future. While in Taurus he won’t be rushed. He will steady things as he searches out flaws in the foundation, simplifies and updates. His first aspect in his leadership position, and last in Taurus, is sextile Neptune May 23. He moves into Gemini May 25! He immediately trines Pluto, his first aspect in Gemini, on June 2! This can have very profitable possibilities! Further changes will be inaugurated!

The second strong feature of this chart is its formation! It’s a Moon Bucket chart, but let me explain. Pluto is closest to the tight group, but is also the point of a Powerful T Square formed with the Full Moon axis! Moon stands opposite the group, the Bucket handle, on her own but is strongly tied with the group!

Pluto, at the red triangle point, is at a 2° T Square point! He is closer to the tight 3 sign group, but is entirely working with the Full Moon axis! Moon leads the chart; but Pluto leads the T she’s in! He leads with Aquarian aplomb, pure genius, and a powerful desire for freedom and world change! Our Full Moon axis is just past Pluto, but believe me, not forgotten! Pluto Ts are not usually all peaches and cream. If something needs detoxing or cleanup, stuff or attitude, there can be intense consequences. There is likely a merciless program about to start! Give up what you can, but scream if you have too!

Pluto is the planet of Scorpio, Moon’s sign! Sun squared Pluto the day after the Jupiter Uranus conjunction, April 21, the day the Mercury direct station started. So as we talked about the North Node energy being carried forward in Mercury’s ponderings, so will the dramatic events of the Sun square Pluto. Mercury itself is fairly neutral, but in Aries, isn’t. They are passionate about things they fight for. Aries will push and tumble the ideas around in Mercury’s head and not all matters will be resolved. Aries keeps getting ideas from the ideas and their scrambled juxtapositions. It’s a creative tempest!

Moon square Pluto happens only hours before the Full Moon, at 12:27 PM, the FM at 4:49 PM Pacific. The play is already happening before Moon is 100% opposite Sun, who hasn’t forgotten the previous events either. Moon takes her cue from him and the stories are revived, unfinished business has another chance to be resolved. Moon is in Scorpio, Pluto’s sign, a camaraderie. She is even more sensitive to Pluto’s part in things, for better and worse, and he of her’s. Pluto nor Scorpio always forgive easily, so try not to be harsh or mean. Their ultimate intention is to detox and heal. And healing is often painful, looking at the demons, including your own. Letting go is not always easy. Keep yourself fortified with companions that know you can do it, remind you that you have prevailed before. Have experts at your fingertips in case you need them.

Squares can be blocks or impediments that save you. They can be breakthroughs and the lights come ON! They can be uphill or over the cliff in a landslide. Be aware of your surroundings; don’t miss the helping hand that is extended. Even your seeming adversary can help you! 3D cubes can be building blocks! Think of your life in the hands of the Great Contractor!

Pluto and both Taurus and Scorpio have Money in common. Taurus wants his own, in his pocket, in the safe, worthy land, properties under his feet, mines and minerals. Loves animals. He invests in his body and fitness, cosmetics, beauty surgeries. Sets up enduring foundations. Scorpio and his planet Pluto are associated with corporations, mega organizations like churches, hospitals, research, banks, insurance, casinos, prisons, major wars, sex industries, malls, chains of anything from groceries to clothing to hotels – income from many sources. They are strongly political. They also offer habitat restoration, detox – bodily and pollution, and healing in the most extreme circumstances. They don’t mind danger and can look at anything, may enjoy forensics.

They both like sex. Taurus is more slow and easy, simple, natural scents. They love touching, massage. Scorpio is often well read on the topic, is intense, doesn’t always mind a little pain. Scents can be intoxicating and they might like some special wines. They can be awesome tantric lovers!

When Sun in Taurus faced off with Pluto in Aquarius, it was perhaps personal versus a large group, a corporation like a City. Taurus wants to protect his land and perhaps his grazing animals, his own. At times the out-wait them tactic works. With Pluto now in Aquarius that is less likely the best option. Aquarius is smart, less obedient to lengthy bureaucratic procedures, so may get right to it. Maybe there were seemingly unnatural revisions, changes that needed to be made to long standing practices that Sun objected to. To make it worse they would be costly to implement. Sun may have made rightful demands for refunds and costs and Pluto didn’t want to give it up. Aquarius also rules banking, so at times is amazingly old fashioned. Believe it. At times Pluto can get bitter about certain things, and Taurus rarely surrenders. Hmm… Scorpio, AQ and Taurus are what we call fixed signs. They endure, sometimes translated as stubborn. With Pluto, Scorpio’s planet in Aquarius, even AQ might not want as much change, or goes crazy being held in check! Yet change is inevitable, even changing against his own thinking. He is, after all, the Sign of r/evolution!

Maybe Mother Moon will be the go between? She is Sun’s counterpart and in Pluto’s sign. She is the Mother, and people listen to Moms for good reason! She simply knows a lot. It’s not just knowing, it’s also the feelings behind it all. She knows about the whole zodiac, goes through each sign every 27 days. She is by nature more flexible due to her multitude of observations. She sees the sign to sign methods and links, sees them as they have changed month to month, year after year. And she often has kids. You gotta keep up with growing kids and families! She is an amazing reservoir of knowledge, has great depth of observation in Scorpio. She knows where the bodies are buried, LOL! And, she’s a bad ass healer of emotions, and near death matters! Gratitude.

Moon and Bucket! Moon is usually thought of as the leader of a bucket chart, but sometimes the thrust of the group is in the Bucket planets. As a group they can clear the way for Moon! Or, who knows, maybe she is escaping, LOL! Her as the leader knows how to make connections, spread the news about what their work is. She can negotiate, make alliances and sales, get their needs met! If the Bucket planets lead, they can protect her so she can get her work done, provide her needs collectively, keep her up to date from each planet! At times they and she may switch leads!

A little differently for this Full Moon I’m thinking of the three stellium tight group as having the base and lead planet. They are old friends, Saturn and Jupiter. Saturn in Pisces is base planet making spiritual considerations the basic reasons for being steady in the Light. Empathy for what is not working in our world, calls us to make corrections. We have lost, now it is time to create from Source, think of wholeness, our whole planet. Saturn can succeed valiantly, well beyond ordinary dreams. The base planet is always taking care of the stragglers, ones who need help – maybe sore feet, and restore their excitement for the journey! Leave no one behind.

Lead planet Jupiter forges ahead checking for safe and enjoyable passage! He is like the Kokopelli, dancing, playing his flute along the Path, a bit wicked and a lot funny! His big spirited great ideas are inspiring. He carries the news, teaches, brings fresh offerings and comparative insights that upgrade local skills! In Taurus they are sensible and easy to implement now that others have already worked out the bugs.

Neptune and Pluto are both ‘lead planets’ by way of the duration of their connection! Now that Pluto is in Aquarius, ahead of Neptune, who is moving a tad slower, they are making an out-of-sign sextile. Neptune is the Pisces planet in PISCES! He has a certain lead because of that alone. But Neptune and Pluto’s orbits have been and will be connected in a remarkable 82 year connection! At 28°, he is in the last degree of the chart and in the last degrees of Pisces, the last sign of the zodiac. Through Pluto’s new ways of seeing, he gives Neptune glimpses of times to come. Neptune is already in progress helping the masses understand. Collective advances, access to improving perception are being put in place. Pluto has led the way into Aquarius. Neptune will lead into Aries March of 2025. Each are taking us to more independence and freedom, thinking more creatively. That sign shift will mark the first of four outer planets sign changes in 100 Days in 2025! New times, fresh starts.

Importantly, LUNAR PATTERNS often hold for months, one sign after the other. You with chart factors at or within a degree or two of these patterns that repeat, will be activated from each different sign sequentially. This Full Moon is part of the Full Moon Cycle! 5° Oct 28, 2023 to March 25 2024. April 23 at 4°.  7 moons! This April 23rd Scorpio/Taurus is the last.

Again, the Taurus Full and New Moons follow the April 20 Jupiter conjunct Uranus! It’s taking the many planets, of the Moons and stelliums, to sort and store infos and exploits of the amazing conjunction, focusing on the important principles of Taurus. They are concurrently stabilizing the platform for May 23’s Full Flower Moon 6:53 AM Pacific, 1:29 AM Venus conjunct Jupiter, 2:44 PM Jupiter Sextile Neptune! 3 days later is Jupiter’s 11/12 year shift into Gemini May 25! This is Jupiter’s last aspect in Taurus, no going back. His first aspect in Gemini will be right away; June 2 is Jupiter trine Pluto! We all want to be well grounded and ready for that combination! Financial potential!

Jupiter can be lucky for Earth, expands earth events, education, perspectives of long term value. Do be thinking on what you would like to see happen. Allow your mind to sweep the environment, to expand what you aspire to. 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! Choose long term locations more wisely for water sources, sustainability. Have your AstroLocality done!

May 7 Taurus New Moon!

In 2024, the best time to see earthshine the second time is a few days before and after the New Moon May 7 (date may vary depending on the time zone). The Waxing and Waning Crescent Moon phases in April and May are the best times to see earthshine, where the unlit part of the Moon becomes visible. It is also known as Da Vinci glow. See best viewing times and more about earthshine!

8:22 PM Pacific Tuesday at 18 Taurus 02! 

Plenty of excitement! Make Love and Beauty. Cherish your many Blessings!

2024 Taurus New Moon Anza-Borrego CA SuperBloom Dune evening primrose!

Anza-Borrego CA is an international dark sky area! Night bloomer Dune evening primrose is living up to its name. Wildflower super bloom glowing magically under the Milky Way. This year’s rains have led to an incredible blanket of flowers coinciding nicely with the return of the Milky Way core. So much fun exploring the desert looking for the perfect composition. Hopefully they last until the next new moon. Thanks to Chris Olivas for this splendid beauty!

Bundles are the rarest chart pattern! No more Bundle charts will be formed after Jupiter gets into mid Leo 2026 for a   v e r y   long time. See more about them for exceptional talents!
.
Like Our very focused 108° four signs Bundle chart March 10, with its 4 Planets Pisces stellium New Moon, the April 8 TOTAL Solar Eclipse New Moon was a Four Sign Bundle chart in 109° with a FIVE power packed planets in an Aries stellium!

  • Now, May 7, the third 4 Signs New Moon Bundle chart in a row is spread a little further, 113°, but is plenty hefty with another FIVE planet stellium, this time in Taurus! It carries some weight, has strength and determination.
  • June 6 will be the last 2024 Bundle chart with a big spread of 135° over five signs. It includes the last 2024 stellium, has FIVE planets in Gemini! It’s going to be lively!

Bundles have a base planet and lead planet. Base planet Pluto in Aquarius is exploring the heavenly realm, the entire area of the planet’s sky cover and all that is associated with that – weather, climate, flight, air quality, allergies, how we breathe. Detoxing and healing will be intensely researched for our planet’s life and our own. As base planet, Pluto is working hard to bring stragglers along, as they say, no one left behind. Pluto makes it as comfortable as possible for them to stay with us, inspires each to give as they can. He points out how fervently many are working for the future, personal, planetary, politically, monetarily, human rights, and how meaningful our contributions are. Aquarius is humanity; we have the internet, so things are working better and faster than ever before. We are not alone, and well connected. No, it isn’t perfect, but major change is collectively happening. We have many words and concepts in use today that didn’t exist 20 years ago. Stay with it.

Jupiter in Taurus is lead planet! His May 23 sextile with Neptune in Pisces, at the final degree of their signs, is the CORE aspect of this chart! This is a planetary aspect of Earth and Sea. Mother Earth, Taurus, deserves the best and Jupiter IS the best, LOL! He is charming and grand, a playful storyteller, whistles while he works and everyone joins in not missing the fun! He teaches, publishes, produces. In Taurus he loves hands on experience, feels the soil under his feet. This combination happens in schools, by the shore, at the mountain temple with Soul seeing views, anywhere. Jupiter and Neptune involve revelation, both are see-ers. Jupiter has long and wide vision. Neptune is the dreamer, connects with the timeless Soul. Jupiter wants the highest Truth possible. Neptune wants purity of purpose of your whole life. Both are dedicated. Jupiter wants to have fun while doing it. He hollers with joy! Go tell it on the mountain! He likes being outdoors with God’s makings. When Pisces isn’t surfing or making music and films, at the spa, he’s meditating, taking a real time out. Patient kindness and infinite compassion are meaningful to them. See more!

Jupiter’s tap with Neptune makes him an extraordinarily talented leader. He seeks their best Path for their searchings for life’s greatest gifts. He has superb confidence and Taurus doesn’t frighten the horses. Jupiter’s tribe has a lot to offer and the sweet offerings are well received, in turn bringing great returns. Neptune’s psychic and deep spiritual guidance helps Jupiter to be spot on – right time, place and connections with right people. A blessed camaraderie happens.

All the Taurus planets, all the chart’s planets, have passed Pluto’s early Aquarian degree. Mars entered his own sign Aries April 30 at 8:33 AM Pacific, Venus squared Pluto in the evening 9:30 PM Pacific. Moon squared Pluto May 6 at 6:08 PM Pacific. Venus was probably able to give Moon some good advice in preparation. Feminine Venus and Moon look at issues of respect. Pluto in Aquarius has mixed intensity of attention to complete detachment. Confuses everyone including himself. He is having to get used to it. To be able to have both skills can be very useful if applied appropriately. Venus and Moon involve love, romantic and parental. Both find home and security important. Pluto can be thief or protector. The Fems need to get beyond denial and patient wishful thinking, see clearly where they stand with Pluto. No cheating or abuse, gas lighting. If they can give proof, Pluto will call the guards and fight for their rights. Honor restored, healing happens, monies returned. What goes for one, goes for humanity as well.

May 3 at 2:06 AM Pacific, Mars strong in his own sign Aries, sextiled Pluto! Major opportunity for new action! Mars looks for purity, fights for innocence, babies. He made his entry into Aries with Venus, right beside her when she confronted Master Pluto. He was between Venus and Moon’s squares, giving courage to each when they faced Pluto. Venus had loves and knows Pluto may have too. His sign change is confusing him a bit as more Aquarian detachment is happening. AQ loves humanity, whereas Venus in Taurus loves the whole earth! Some things we have more capacity for than we realized. Moon knows Pluto had a Mother, so she sees him as son. Though roles can be confusing, they can be more complex and knowing the deeper workings is helpful. Pluto’s major monetary talents are being shifted to broader causes, new purposes. That just isn’t always easy to do. Give it time, appreciate the efforts.

It is common that Bundle charts have stelliums! This year we are having strong stelliums at lunar events as you can see from the Stelliums Timeline above. Pacific Zone dates!

Stelliums are clusters of planets in the same sign. Each planet offers a specialty within that sign, another option of reception and a talent to offer in return. Below is the May Timeline with these FIVE planets  collaborating in Taurus!

  • 06  10:42 PM Sun sextiles Saturn  Work goes well, completed, done with heart!
    7:27 PM Mercury is in the last part of his Retrograde cycle, makes his third and last conjunction with Chiron in Aries! He has learned a lot from Chiron and getting the word out about new healing skills just as fast as he can. Aries is quite independent so they discussed relationships and starting their own new businesses.
  • 07  7:05 AM Moon crossed Venus this morning. For the moment, they are of like mind and sweet in their unconditional concerns. They are making beauty on Earth.
    Moon sextile Saturn 7:02 PM Could be house work or building a house! Professional, helps elders.
    8:22 PM New Moon, Moon with Sun is a primal conjunction, Mother Moon, love forever in Taurus, with Father Sun, the mortal Father/Husband who loves her with all his heart and radiance. They renew their vows. They plow the fields, raise the children, make a substantial foundation, legacy for their community.
  • 08  4:19 AM Moon conjuncts Uranus. Gather the clan the 7th. Consider friendships, unions for purpose, our place in today’s world, what we would like to found for our children’s sake.
    9:30 AM  Moon conjuncts Jupiter! Moon knows a good opportunity when she sees one! This would be a great time for a celebratory breakfast to go over some of yesterday’s thoughts, confirm our plans, our parts within them. Sign any papers that feel right.
    4:20 PM Moon enters Gemini and at 7:52 PM trines Pluto. That is the completion in that Moon’s conjunct with lead planet Jupiter, becomes trine with Pluto the base planet, from end to back to the beginning, in a new sign!
  • 18  Venus conjunct Uranus, 11:45 AM Sun conjunct Jupiter! These are the last New Moon stellium related aspects before May 23 and they are both blessed and lucky! Venus makes new friends, she gets a glimpse of amazing futures possible for us and our planet! Great time to step up to the plate, make some financial changes!
    Sun shines his Light on the best of Jupiter! They may make speeches, talk philosophy, take a significant journey together to a shrine or just have fun, ride or bet on the horses. Good chance the favorite will win, maybe that will be you! Sun loves glory, and Jupiter likes grand! Will be quite a 3 days, 16 to 18!
  • 23 Sagittarius-Gemini Full Flower Moon 6:53 AM 1:29 AM Venus conjunct Jupiter, 2:44 PM Jupiter Sextile Neptune!
    Our current Taurus Moons with their powerful stelliums are strongly and substantially building a platform for the coming Jupiter sextile Neptune, Jupiter’s last aspect in Taurus. If we want those dreams to come true, we need so secure them safely, give them a place for sustained growth. Venus is Taurus’s planet, so in her own sign she gives Jupiter her blessing to bring love and beauty, to expand exponentially! It’s a great send off! The Full Flower Moon, Moon in Sagittarius, Jupiter’s sign, spreads her wings and sings Hallelujah! Jupiter may be riding a white horse and disappear with Neptune into Spirit for a ride he doesn’t forget any time soon! They will be back… Rev 6: ‘And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow (Sagittarius the Archer/Jupiter his planet); and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.’ May it be so in a good way. See more about the Sextile!
    .
    Further, here is notice of a unique happening! In preview, prelude, for preparation, May 10 we have Jupiter conjunct Behenian fixed star Algol! It clears pathways and thinking before the May 23 Jupiter sextile Neptune. Whether good or bad, it’s big! One thing leads to another. This is followed by the major conjunction! We will have the exceptional Uranus conjunct ALGOL coming July 20! In old fashioned terms, all hell may break loose! The pot has been simmering and spells may cause both curses and blessings to come true! The next day is Sunday, the July 21 Full Buck Moon 29 Cap/Cancer! There WILL be some endings! It conjuncts retrograde Oct 14/15, during Jupiter’s healing sextile station with Chiron, during Pluto’s final time in Capricorn. The final time Uranus connects with Algol is May 3/4 2025!
    .
    The last time it happened was 1941/42, when the US entered WW2. Please see Astrology King for Algol info, how it relates to your chart factors, famous people with Algol placements including Trump. Note that Algol’s current position is 26 Taurus 30! Darkstar Astrology has some additional information and alternative thinking about Algol! Uranus is noted for being ahead of its time, shaking things up, invention, networking. He would have no qualms about befriending and putting Algol to work. Algol, surprised, may just accept the offer! Algol will blast the ways open for us all! Keep your eyes on the high road!
  • June 4 Venus catches up with Sun. She says, We did it! She’s sweet on him. Maybe she gives him a very healing massage. He feels appreciated, trusting, and is willing to sponsor her. Peace. They may talk about how the plan is going, how the funding is holding up, whether she should join the team.

Neptune is now at 29°, called an anaretic degree, the last degree of any sign. However, this one happens to be the last degree of ALL the signs! It also happens to be a Retrograde Station degree. Neptune will retrograde July 2 at 3:40 AM Pacific at 29 Pisces 55, a very almost 0 Aries!!! Neptune was at 28° 55′ on April 30, a degree of the Rx point and will return to that position retrograde Sep 5, 4 months and 5 days. You see, our outmost planets Neptune and Pluto travel very slowly and even a 1° station can take many months! 29s are typically endings, summaries, the final conclusions. It is a maturity, a surrender to letting go. We strive to make it our best legacy possible. We both celebrate and grieve for the goodness we leave behind, while looking forward to an exhilarating future, a sometimes it is unknown, a bit scary.

The work during a long duration station is well studied, thought through and through, finds it’s very right place in our Spirits. And there is always more to come! When we have a Rx station, there is another crossing of these same degrees when the planet goes direct, forward over those degrees the third time. If the RX is a two year cycle, it can be 4 and 5 times! In this case here will be another extensive time late ’25 through early 2026. More growth will come.

Events during this Station! We have doubts and excitement as possibilities are considered! While in such a long station the planet is aspected by many planets, has made many considerations, is seasoned in its experiences. While this one has been at 29, Neptune has first been sextiled by this Jupiter connection. Next  is Jupiter’s sign change to Gemini and subsequent trine with Pluto and square to Saturn. Sep 1, Pluto goes back into Capricorn the final time. He too will then be at 29. Though Neptune and Pluto will be in close sextile, they are not exact yet.

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!

Blessings as precious endings and new beginnings are being made. Taurus sensibly knows when to let go, is steady on.

Plenty of excitement! Make Love and Beauty. Cherish your many Blessings!

Links to Ongoing Major Affairs!
…..Includes 100 Days of FOUR Outer Planet’s sign changes in 2025!
.

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!

2024 Aries Mercury Retrograde NeuroScience - Health of Brain!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Important Retrograde Direct Stations!

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

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

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

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

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

Special REPEATED ASPECTS!

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

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

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

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

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

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

Updated 3.17.24

Retrograde Planet Diagram

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The 2024 Pisces Stellium sequence that includes both Pisces Full and New Moons is back to back with the April 8 FIVE planets in Aries TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE Stellium!

Stelliums Separate yet in Union Goddess Women Dancing!

Stelliums are Potent Gatherings of Planets & Talents composed of Separate Forces in Union! Beautiful Goddess Women Dancing ~

Stelliums are magical living planetary systems! They ebb and flow as planets join and leave. There may be a slower moving anchor planet(s) that is key throughout. It maintains the master message as each planet, in turn, contributes their unique wisdom and energy as they enter and leave in divine timing. All the planets merge with each other being of the same sign energy. The whole becomes greater than the parts! Some stelliums have no anchor planet, as if appearing like a cloud then vaporizing altogether. Watch how they change the stellium’s flavors as the planets change positions. A little group of three may become four, then five or more, then one by one, they return to three as planets move along, then they disperse altogether, leaving perhaps only an invisible imprint, a memory. But maybe they gift us with a new talent, special people, new ways of merging expertise. Never underestimate their potency.

The whole event can happen to you alone, and at the same time, you with others combining all your skills! Each planet is separate yet all are blending, merging. Camaraderie, multiplicity, intensity. Stelliums can be a captivating and an encapsulating experience not to be missed! Those of you with planets in these signs will be especially engaged, especially if you have a natal stellium in the same sign! You might enjoy looking up the sequence of your own stellium to see the significance of the moment you stepped into life, the special part that is emphasized for you that you play in the stellium, that you give to us.

Omega – Alpha! As a circle, the Zodiac symbolizes life never ending, the Infinity of the Soul. This Pisces ~ Aries sequence represents the profound time of the last zodiac sign Pisces passing the baton to the first zodiac sign, Aries. Completion, maturity, comprehension, ending, letting go releasing, blessings, to Initiation and New Beginnings, the future dreams made to become true!

Both Pisces Full and New Moons had 4 planet stelliums in Pisces and the so does the Mar 25 Aries Lunar Eclipse Full Moon! 

This Pisces stellium is anchored by slow moving outer planets Saturn and Neptune. They have been working hard behind the scenes, not making headlines. In the stellium they will be going through change after change as they are visited by all the inner planets – Sun, Mercury, Venus, Mars and Moon. They, plus the inner planets having made conjunctions with Pluto, will have potent effect! The Pisces Stellium, back to back with the Aries Stellium, is powerfully including the April 8 FIVE planet Aries TOTAL Solar ECLIPSE setting the stage for and leading to the twelve days later April 20 Jupiter conjunct Uranus!

Pisces specializes in Perception – hearing, seeing, sensitivity, insights, dreams. Music, visions, knowing without seeing or knowledge, super awareness, feeling color, imagination, connection with Spirit, unseen dimensions. Leads to empathy, compassion, understanding, serenity. Can be a pretender, sometimes suffering addiction or chronic disease, or a Savior, one who guides the Soul’s passage from one realm to another. It’s a different kind of intelligence, a wisdom of its own kind, spiritual Grace.

Aries is super charged, has mental and physical prowess! Courageous and fearless fast thinkers, they are first to leap forward, a leader fast on his feet, warrior, protector, defender, rescuer! Front liner, stands up for you, children, animals, policeman, fireman, all around champion. As a life saving first responder, healer, his intuition is instantaneous and amazingly accurate. Nothing stops them. They drive like demons and win the races, do the healing. Their inspiration can’t be beat! Those physical therapists have you back on your feet in no time! You are breathing big! Thank the stars!

The 46 day Pisces Stellium sequence is Feb 22 until April 7! It prepares us for the April 8 TOTAL Solar ECLIPSE Stellium! The Eclipse precedes the April 20 mighty Jupiter conjunction with Uranus the Aquarian planet! The Pisces mini conjunction is STILL present for the Jupiter/Uranus conjunction plus through April 30! 

Feb 22 4 in Pisces: Mercury, Sun, Saturn together, Neptune in his own sign following. Feb 24 Full Moon.
Feb 28 Mercury, Sun, Saturn are all at 9°! Neptune then at 26 Pisces!
Moon enters March 8FIVE in Pisces! Mercury leaves March 9, Moon out on 10th, New Moon before leaves, but is replaced by Venus March 11, making 4 again.
Sun leaves the 19th, Spring Equinox, replaced by Mars the 22nd, 4 again.
Venus leaves April 4 as Moon jumps in April 5, 4 again in Pisces, at which point we now also have 4 in ARIES, TWO four planet stelliums at once!
Early April 7 Moon leaves, back to 3 in Pisces.

The Aries stellium is anchored by slow moving outer planet Chiron. Astrologers are not in agreement as to which sign it is associated with, I prefer Virgo, but we all refer to him as the wounded, healer, teacher. His story has many versions. He was a centaur, a half human/horse injured accidentally by a poison arrow tip. It wouldn’t heal. He studied, and, as a more gentle centaur, became a renowned physician. He traded his life so Prometheus would be spared. He became the constellation Sagittarius, the Teacher. See Madeline Miller’s version and references to varying versions…

In ’95 and ’99 the Magi Society came forward with two books claiming, with many examples, that Chiron is the #1 marriage factor and a strong business factor! They have a special system that you astrologers can use too. That all gained a lot of attention and at one point their subsequent used books sold upwards past $100! Convinced, I now use Chiron in both the old mythological way and the Magi way.

The Aries Eclipse Stellium is a 15 Days kicker!

March 19 Sun enters Aries making 3 planets in Aries
April 1 Mercury RETROGRADES
April 4 Venus enters Aries making 4 in Aries
April 7-9 Moon makes 5, which includes the April 8 TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE! Visible in the US: New Moon 11:21 AM Pacific! It exactly conjuncts CHIRON by degree AND minute! 
April 9 Moon leaves early, but because Mercury is retrograde, he, Venus, Sun and Chiron remain a foursome.
April 19 Sun leaves Aries, leaving Venus, Mercury and Chiron in a potent 4° conjunction 19-20!

April 20 The day after the 4 planet Stellium ends, is the every 14 years JUPITER CONJUNCT URANUS at 21 Taurus! It happens only once! See more about the chart as a dramatic example of a classic strong Fan Chart! Scroll to the bottom of that page please ~ It has FIVE unique features! This conjunction alone will catapult some of us a few light years ahead in a twinkling!

April 23 Full Pink Moon spreads her wing in Scorpio-Taurus 4:49 PM Pacific
The three stay in Aries until Venus leaves April 29.
Mars leaves Pisces April 30, only the anchor planets Saturn and Neptune are left to hold and guard the Aries messages.

 The Eclipse is going to get the press – won’t happen again until 2039 and at that time can only be seen in Alaska! For the contiguous US, THIS is the ONE! It has two special features, but the 14 year Jupiter conjunct Uranus, the Aquarian planet, has a much longer physical duration and has planetary significance since Pluto is back in his second lap in Aquarius. The outer planets move slowly. The Conjunction will be like the thruster in the rocket! It will be a shocking yet expected. Suddenly we are in new space tagging along with Pluto! SEE MORE details and the April 8 FIVE Planets ARIES TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE New Moon Chart!

Significantly, after the total solar eclipse on April 8, 2024, the next total solar eclipse that can be seen from the contiguous United States will be on Aug. 22, 2044, Pluto’s last year in Aquarius! Pluto makes final entry into Pisces Jan 19, 2044, so that Eclipse will be when Pluto is in Pisces! The Eclipse happens to be in Virgo opposite Pluto by 1 degree!

Some say Aries starts the new year. If so, this year starts off quite potently with extraordinary healing in mind and happenings! Aries is a heady fire sign, a sign of Light. In particular, it is the spark, flame of Life, an enlightenment if you will. Chiron in Aries started in 2018, goes through 2027! On the daily front, Aries loves caps, hats, headgear! Stock them for the Eclipse!

As the planets traverse the stellium degrees every one of us will be called on to contribute in our own special way. Check with your astrologer(s) to see how and when you connect!

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

Blessed be on your truly amazing journey ~

The Divine Magic of Pisces!

2024 Pisces is the sign of images, Imagination, your dreams! Public Co

Pisces is the sign of Images, Imagination, your Dreams! Wonderful photo tips at Corel Discovery Center! Image by Public Co from Pixabay

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

Beauty.  Be a mirror of the pristine with your art, photography, music. Staying with nature is more important for you than many others. Painting is like taking it home with you. Reflect with the posture of your body, your clothes, your aura, the colors in your life. Be brilliant and subtle. Walk the continuum with grace, a melody in your heart, a smile in your Spirit. Be the inspiration you would like to see happen.

Stay present and mindful. When you forget who you are, bring yourself right back on track. We are very flexible, super sensitive, easily distracted. We learn by the variances and updates. We are enriched when we take it ‘home’ with us. Be whole. No apologies when you can’t be there for everyone all the time. Wanderings have their merits.

Dreams, visions. Fantasy may take you beyond the obvious, open you to unexpected pleasures! You may sense a profound Presence. Really see. Have clarity without illusion, wishful thinking, denial, fear, being lost. Surrender to wholeness, the whole Truth. Let your Soul triumph. Sometimes words aren’t enough. Turn it over to your spirit’s instincts, purity. Blessed be.

Divine Protection  The shield is your caring, being genuine. Sometimes you are innocent, at other times guilty as charged. Honor that by admitting your part up front. We are all human and it’s good to know we don’t always know or aren’t perfect either. At times you need to use your cosmic Zen – when the bullet comes, don’t be there. Listen to your perceptions and don’t ignore your insights. Walk away right now when necessary. There are times when curiosity needs to be last on your list.

Miracles!  Keep your channels clear. Be cleansed and set free. Walk on water! Why not? ‘Pray,’ ask that the Highest be done. We have synchronicity, often on ‘chance’ meet those we have been wondering about. Know that those surprises are part of your power. You have unspoken attraction, against the odds, your needs are met. Keep it clean, no demand. Be open that even better can happen. Patience is a form of kindness, to yourself and others. Each of us are doing what we can as we can. Things happen when things are lined up for all concerned. Be humble and grateful. Make a few sacrifices in a good way.

Spirituality  Listen to the call. We are specially drawn to give the gifts we have. We are each so incredibly unique. We don’t have to understand it all. Just be there. Release the Past that doesn’t serve us anymore. Let learning fill our precious minutes, the hours, our breath. Be open to revisioning, embrace what’s coming to be. Even the precepts of spiritual living are evolving!

Love  Each sign has Special kinds of love. Pisces romantic love is deep in spite of or maybe because of circumstances. It may be lifelong. We all have our disabilities, some have addictions. We all have learnings we need to transpire. Is it love, or the caring we have to care? Are we attracted to troubled Souls? Should they be a partner or a client, patient, student? Who are we healing – them or ourselves? Do we need to learn humility? Are we paying a karmic debt? We may dedicate ourselves and outgrow the situation as growth and health are acquired.

We may be profound Soulmates and be in spiritual service together to the Humanity that Aquarians connect us with. Our Spirit grows as we bond and serve. Maybe we are both music lovers and want to share this gift with all, sponsor concerts! Work on the cruise ship, travel the world and see all her people?! Run the local church or yoga studio, art or dance studio, specialty footwear shop, hot tubs! Oh, yes, people that play together, stay together, LOL! Do it sweet! At least go swimming all year like the dolphins! Make slithery love!

With Pisces, love is kindness, empathy, compassion, pure joy. It is also comfort at times of entering our world, leaving our world. We are all just walking each other home ~ Ram Dass. Alan Seale said ‘he 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.’

BE LOVE, Infinite True Love 

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

April 20 Jupiter’s 14 Year Conjunction with Uranus, the Aquarian Planet! Once!!! This aspect alone can catapult your life a few light years ahead in a twinkling! See the chart!

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 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!

Jan 11, 1.11.24, (Triple Ones) Capricorn New Moon!

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!

2024 Capricron New Moon Triple Ones Milky Way Ranger Kelly Carroll White Sands NP!

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!

The angel statue, Statue of Victoria, Siegessaule Tiergarten Berlin is situated in the Berlin Victory Column. Designed by Heinrich Strack after 1864. This double exposure gives the allusion to the #11!

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!

2024 New Year AstroLogical Chart!

In Santa Barbara Ca, the MidHeaven/IC axis is opposite the Galactic center! The chart’s Mars is exactly conjunct the GC no matter where the chart is calculated! It’s going to be a LONG amazing ride! 

This is a Virgo Moon Handle Bucket Chart starting 2024! (See her out there all by herself to the left?!) Mama is making a superlative classic harmony Female-Male Earth trine with Master Sun in Capricorn. She’s the worker bee community service rep, all details are finely done, and Capricorn oversees the entire project, time management, sets up the presentations. They are fueled by Jupiter in Taurus, completing a GRAND EARTH TRINE! Jupiter has been behind them, making sure needed materials are at hand. He has long term plans that they are putting into action for him. It’s a blessed team. See more about Bucket Charts!

Regardless of their parts they play, Mother Moon is the primary in this double (at Santa Barbara) Virgo chart, Moon and Ascendant! She is out front for all to see. Her manners will be important, ready words of response, well selected and both technical and heartfelt will be important. She will be taking their cause or sale of their goods, out to the public. The details she discloses or not will make a difference. Some she meets will have health issues that will bias their attention. She may have to address their personal physical discomforts before they are able to fully listen.

She also has to have ready ears. They want to ‘sell’ their points of view as well. She needs to be keen to listen when the conversation shifts to what they have to offer. That may be a subtle turning. Could require an immediate kind response and gratitude or the connection is lost… It means a lot for some people to give. It may be a small offering, but so significant that others follow suit if well received. Also, Moon is gathering informations to take home to her people. Her efficiency and details can make all the difference to their future success.

There is a three planet Sagittarius mini STELLIUM! It’s bouncy in contrast with the more steady and serious Earth Trine! Venus loves the Path, the possibilities, she is inconjunct Jupiter, the Sagittarius planet so ties in with the Grand Trine. They could find a place to sit that has a view to put a big breath into your vision! There ARE places to go! They will have a good chat, she will bless and grace him with the beauty and value of her ideas. She will leave him, but he is excited to expand his plans and perspectives! Jupiter Taurus!

Venus is also square Saturn. We don’t always get what we want in the time we want, at the price we want. That includes relationships. Venus in Sagittarius is kinda runaway anyway. She gets bored easily. Sometimes she needs to settle down and this tests her patience and dedication, her word. Sometimes she signs up and has learned this isn’t for her, isn’t what it seemed to be, and it’s best to mosey on down the road. She may be without work for a while, and finds she’s ok with that until something more right for her Soul is offered. She may be impressed by the stature of a spiritual Soul, but find that is not the reason to linger. As much as someone else admires her, it may seem like a prison to a butterfly! Wait for a bit, keep traveling, this will pass. Wait for mutual purpose. Focus on your education, topics that make your heart sing! Great way to meet like minded others! Invest cautiously, a smaller trial amount to test it.  Saturn in Pisces 

Mercury is finishing up 2023’s last Retrograde this very day, turns forward at 7:07 PM Pacific!! He is in Station, focusing on the coming changes, important plans for 2024 but is also being released by this turn! Mercury has been up to 8 Capricorn, but back to 22 Sagittarius to update intentions, adjust directions, path choices in view of the important jobs Capricorn is now dedicated to. Mercury checks the ethics, the whole Truth, the honest purpose and renews inspiration and faith in the team. And Mercury reminds Cap to have FUN, LOL! Schedule that play date!

In the upcoming days Mercury will be squaring Neptune in his own sign Pisces. Mercury in a fire sign is like greased lightning even when he is in station, which he will be through the 5th. Mercury is logical, and in Sagittarius practically sees straight to the core in a hot second! But. Neptune is SO different. Silent, smooth, no angles, morphs a minute, distractible, discerning of the deeper meanings beyond Sagittarian mere perspectives. Sometimes Neptune doesn’t make sense, is indiscernible, seemingly at times invisible, even inaccessible… That drives ‘I wanna know NOW’ Mercury nuts! Yet Mercury comes to find even not knowing is a legitimate state of mind, even freeing, relaxing, opening! Even Sag and Mercury have to learn there are different ways of communicating. The answer may BE there is no answer. Sometimes Sag is very broadminded and takes it in stride, and sure enough, not pushed, the revelation connection comes. If it’s an emergency, do your best. Neptune in Pisces

Btw, 2024-25 is Neptune’s last time in Pisces until 2175. It enters Aries 3.30.25. These are signs of Initiation, Pisces of Soul, Dream matters, and Aries the physical Action, Doing it!

Mars already did square Neptune, bathed in the deep waters, explored the underwater mountains. Exotic terrain. Sometimes it’s clear as a cathedral bell at morning, other times its murky and you have no idea where you are, even totally dark. Surrender can be a key word. Let loose and let Neptune take you where you have never been. Flow with the currents. Your perception changes. You can be confused or simply free, no agenda. You get where you get. You learn how to ‘listen’ more deeply, find a meaningful place in yourself that you are not willing to give up. You are on God’s time in God’s place. You may rush or not, but you will know when to do which. You have been initiated to yourself.

Mars is hard to hold back! Fire planet in Fire sign! He’s at 27°, almost there already! Capricorn Sun groans, sees him coming. Cap likes order, but he realizes Mars is mainly ungovernable. But Mars does get and keeps things going, finds amazing options in a twinkling, is downright disgustingly cheerful against all odds. Ok, ok, let him. Then Cap can just work. Mars is self starting, so if they have mutual goals, we aren’t always sure how they will get done, but no matter how, it will probably be faster than expected! He could show up on his bike or a horse! As a cosmic first responder, just don’t get in his way, LOL! Mars might make a game of it and everybody plays and wins!

Oh, did I say these Sagittarian three might take you on a trip? They could make news, write up their ad/ventures, go viral! Not exactly unusual or wholly unexpected, but not average either! Keep your eyes open!

We were talking about Venus square Saturn. Also, Sun squares Chiron. Both are challenges to relationships and biz. Chiron is health, marriage, business. In Aries, Chiron too is restless, like Venus in Sagittarius the traveler. Not only is it restless, but independent! Sun in Cap likes to be the boss. Chiron always did think for himself. It takes a lot to impress him and even then, he’s still independent, though more likely to listen, LOL! Sun may put him on the spot to get those new remedies going, and Chiron wouldn’t really mind that because that’s what he wants too, soonest! May be a better time to work and do business than do forever things like marry. Take it easy and go by your heart. Check with your astrologer.  Chiron in Aries

Uranus stands rather alone. Planets are moving along from him. He’s retrograde, ok in Taurus, thinking things through, letting the synapses make their connections, paving the way for further inventions. Takes the time it takes. Plenty of changes are happening around him, impinging on promising concepts. Retrograde, he is slowly reviewing what has passed, at times quickly updating here and there as further insights occur! Retrials are being done. Though it looks like he is simply sitting still, a lot is going on in that genius brain of his!  Uranus in Taurus

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 these planets. The harmony of the three outer planets draws us past our daily experience. We are encountering great principles working together. Aquarius is the sign of the third outer planet, Uranus, the humanitarian 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 20, 2024 Jupiter conjunct Uranus! This aspect alone will jump the three outer planets a few light years ahead!

What we don’t see in the chart is the exciting April 8 Aries New Super Moon TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE that precedes the Jupiter-Uranus conjunction! Open your Soul and live big! See more at GrandMother Moon! Eclipses, New & Full Moons, More!

Right now Pluto in Capricorn is at 29 degrees, 29 being the last degree of any sign, called the Anaretic Degree. In some ways it is considered fateful, a final point, whatever is, is. It can be the last chance, no turning back. It is also a degree of maturity, accomplishment, peak performance. There is a certain suspense wondering exactly how things will end, afraid of unknown territory, a kind of starting over with no skills, yet excited to move on. Pluto will make the shift back into Aquarius Jan 20, 2024.  

Sep 1 to Nov 19 is the final time for Pluto in Capricorn, brief but super concentrated, in station at the 29th (anaretic) degree the whole time. It will be making indelible memories of skills and purposes. The other strong feature of this period is the Jupiter in Gemini sextile station with Chiron in Aries within this final review period! Healing is speeded up as final updates are incorporated, last foundations are strengthened, cemented, secured. Due to this base security, from there they are also free to loosen and quickly expand beyond immeasurably! 

The three exact sextiles are Oct 12, Nov 2 and May 18 2025. Their Oct-Nov aspects are very close together. The 1° STATION starts Sep 25 and ends Nov 18, 54 days! It gives Pluto a healing send off. The sextile’s last station day is the day before Pluto enters Aquarius its final time, until 2044!

For those of you who celebrate! Gong xi fa cai! Feb 10, 2024 starts the Yang-Wood Dragon Lunar Year! Yang-Wood is connected to green, the tall trees, forest, or wooden posts – growth. The most revered animal, the magical Dragon, represents power, success, honor, luck, vigor, and charm! It is equivalent to the Western zodiac sign, Aries, leadership and independence! If your Dragon is born during the sign Aries, look it up! It’s a potent combination! In the sum number of 2024 – 8, the priority is practicality and material wealth, infinity! The year of the Wood Dragon occurs only every 60 years, last were 1904 and 1964. Famous Wood Dragons are René Lacoste, Lenny Kravitz, Sandra Bullock, Jack Ma, Keanu Reeves, Kamala Harris. 

2024 will bring a plethora of advance ideas to be organized, steadfast work building dreams and visions!

BLESSED BEST IN ’24!

Christmas-New Year Planning ’23-’24!

2023 Mercury Retrograde Sag-Cap 2018 UMass Student Farm Crew!
.
The 2018 UMass Student Farm crew, having fun and working hard! Sagittarius is learning; Capricorn is experiential! The UMass Student Farm is a great success! Happy students are fast learners! Sustainable Food & Farming!

See the complete Mercury Sagittarius-Capricorn Retrograde Timeline for further details! Christmas-New Year Retrograde planning info! Nov 25 2023 to Jan 20 2024 Cycle, Retrograde Dec 12 to New Year’s Day, starting 2024 properly, LOL!
.
The significance of this Retrograde is to powerfully transition Pluto from Capricorn to Aquarius. The entire cycle ends the very day Pluto returns to Aquarius! Background context… The whole holiday RX cycle is while Pluto has retrograded from Aquarius back into Capricorn. Some old things aren’t finished yet. Some need updating and tweaking to make it all work in the future. Pluto feels a bit more at home, and is remembering good things to be kept and brought forward into new times, thinks about how to incorporate them in his future. Strengthening everything Aquarius continues to be essential since Pluto is still preparing for that 20-21 Aquarian years to come. Pluto returns to Aquarius Jan 20, 2024.
.
This last of 2023 Mercury retrograde cycles, first of 2024, starts adding Fire to the mix. We will need that cheerful warmth as Pluto moves into Air sign Aquarius. Sagittarius calls us to brainstorm, collaborate, learn of the new Aquarian ways. We will go forward and double back to see matters from both directions and the wide angle lens of Sag! Some things will be funny and fun! Happy handshakes all around!The strength of Capricorn takes us right into the thick of things and the building continues! The Goat is wire strong, the one with the high mountain rocky views. They have extraordinary agility traversing dangerous territory in often dramatic weather conditions. They are smart. Human goats have a knowing about them, are the best at business, conserve energy and don’t waste time. They are phenomenal architects and they build to last, are super talented renovators naturally skilled at remediation. We will be needing them. 2023 is the beginning of further revelations to come! It will present options never thought of before. All will be called on to sort things out, move steadily forward.Two signs. Mercury at 22 Sagittarius starts the cycle, making plans, expanding everything, inspiring hope! Mercury moves up to 8 Capricorn, stations there for 8 days, retrogrades Dec 12. At this point, Capricorn is very important as Pluto is back in Capricorn finishing his first retrograde back from Aquarius. Mercury in Capricorn builds our mental skills, puts us to artisanal work using our hands. Mindful attention, responsible communications are emphasized. Historical guidelines can be helpful. Renovation and remedial skills are valuable – but be a bit cautious during retrogrades since changes will undoubtedly occur. When changes are made, date and everybody signs. Generally there is no waste of time or materials, but better prices may be found four days after New Year. Mercury maintains the client lists, sends birthday remembrances to them and loved ones. Thanks to long time clients there are invitations to timely special events, awards, and sales. Optimistic and fun loving Sagittarius keeps Capricorn reminded of their happy plans, keep everyone’s minds on the big plan, to gleefully leap like a Centaur over any obstacles! With the Sag keen eyes and the Capricorn fix-anything ability, together we can do this! All of it!

Mercury goes back to 22 Sagittarius, turns forward 1.1.2024, stations for eight days, finishes the entire cycle Jan 20! Well done!

When I say cycle, I mean they start into the degrees they will cover, that they will go back over when retrograde. The third part of the cycle is when they go forward over the same degrees the third time. Three chances!

Spirit of Saturn

Important Retrograde Direct Stations!

Stations are important because, for example, Mercury hovers for 8 days at a degree or less of the retrograde position! There is time to focus, take it in, think it over, anchor the good stuff. See more!

Both of Virgo’s summer Mercury retrograde stations activate the same degrees of the stations in this retrograde. The previous 8-23 Rx station will be activating the Jan 1 22° Sagittarius direct station. The previous 9-15 direct station degree activates the Rx 8 Capricorn degree of this one! Those of you with 8 and 22° factors in your charts will be activated again but from different signs. 

More: Mercury’s Aug 23, 2023 Rx station was at 21 Virgo 51 was almost at 22°. The Jan 1, 2024, New Year Mercury Direct is at 22 Sagittarius 10, and the Nov 25 2024 RX is 22 Sag 40. Granted this is a wide spread of dates, but nevertheless, some things that Virgo set up this summer/fall will be questioned and updated. Sagittarian educational matters may be the priority. They will have life importance to your future. What to study, which school, with whom. Virgo is always learning, often the trainer, mentor, master crafts person. Sagittarius is higher education, the professor, the university. Our Summer/Fall decisions will affect end of ’23/New Year 2024 and Nov ’24 choices. New Year 2024 choices will carry through Nov 2024 to be considered again before going into 2025. You can see how import the decisions this summer and Jan 1 will become.

If your chart is connected, expect lots of unexpected changes – that’s what retrogrades do. Have your support team set up for calls to help you at tough times or to share the excitement of the great times! Have backup plans mapped out just in case. Arrange advance extra funding in case you need it.


Sagittarius is a BIG spender, and Capricorn wants to be tops, but is willing to compromise at times to come in on budget or on time. He is a tough negotiator and gets excellent prices on materials. Sag wants a temple of renown, regal, grand and glorious. Cap is realistic but if has no budget or time limit, will build the finest, of uncompromising awesome award winning design! Both Sag and Cap enjoy a superlative view.

Mercury in Sagittarius wants educational opportunities for all at every level. Due to their traveling inclinations, studies of foreign cultures and philosophies can be great for increasing international business, import/export, travel businesses, get best prices on materials from other continents, incorporate learning techniques from all over the world. Mercury in Capricorn encourages business schools and hands on technical training, special studies with old masters of the trade. They can deal with time-saving equipment, make more sustainable living conditions especially in highlands, cold areas, secure quality housing for seniors. They are experts with boundaries, fencing, gateways, stonework. They help with making laws that protect us.

Relationships?

Depending on the sign, some Retrogrades are pretty tough on relationships formed initially during a RX. Sagittarius, Aries and Aquarius in combo are usually not the marrying kind. Sagittarius, the Traveler, doesn’t stay home, so you need to be ok with that or go with. As children, they are the most likely to run away. You see that a mind changing retrograde just adds to the restlessness.

Capricorn tends to seriously marry, but with the retrograde, the promise may not be able to be kept. Not a recommended time for marriage. Wait. Caps are good at waiting. If it’s good, it’s worth waiting for. Let it be tested. If it passes, go for it. Capricorns want to make a long lasting stable home, be good parents and providers. They also want to make the rules, so be ready to negotiate or be ok with the rules. They expect you to work for the relationship. Surrender is called for at times. But giving up too much can harm you, in turn, the relationship. Get to know each other well for that minimum 6 months before any marriage planning takes place.

Have your astrologer help you pick a super date, time and place! AstroLocality makes a difference! If you change the location, have the chart recalculated.

State of Mind, Work and Health

Mercury in Sagittarius can think of a trillion things, speculating on every combination! They are distractible, sometime irritable if interrupted telling a grand story. Burnout can happen, wake up at night or never go to sleep. Or there can be no care n the world, down for the count, up early, off and running. No time for coffee! If you don’t keep up you will be left behind. They’re gone. They can often eat just about anything, but may suffer allergies. Sagittarians can be broadminded or perfectly opinionated! One pointed, a centaur with blinders with the muscle to prove whatever they believe! Generally cheerful and optimistic! Sporty and need to not pull a muscle or overdo an exercise or activity. Best entertaining teachers, generous. Produce terrific seminars, conferences. Wear comfy airy clothes.

Mercury in Capricorn is at work, no folderol, keeping the timeline, wears the classy suit. If they can’t keep a promise or commitment, they are not happy campers. They can just get super tired and depressed at times. Learning limits doesn’t always come easy they are so determined. But when their work pays off, they are so proud. Often they get stronger as they get older, learning from their mistakes. They are wise reality mentors, bring the ones following them to become the best that can be! Capricorns are often the speakers at conferences representing top companies. Skin, bones and joints need watchful care. They are survivors, aren’t quitters and have grit in tough situations. Admirable.

2021 Jupiter Aquarius Sextile the Mighty Galactic Center GC

Special three times REPEAT ASPECTS!

 Please check the complete Timeline below to see the event dates in context with other important aspects, Full and New Moons.

1) Mercury in Sagittarius square Neptune. First two squares are with Full Moons, Nov 27 Gemini-Sagittarius, then Dec 26 day after Christmas Cancer-Capricorn! Each will have a certain degree of confusion, but the second will probably have the most due to Mercury being mind changing retrograde at that time. Mercury wants to be logical while Neptune doesn’t adhere to any rules whatsoever, lives in spirituality, psychic realms and the no rules dreamtime! Confusion is a gift of ‘seeing’ out of the box because there is no box, LOL! Nothing to stop you! It means we are seeking trying to find the way. Anything can happen! Let it! Sagittarius, the see forever sign is quite happy with the super dimensions happening! Did you see that?!

Mercury in Capricorn has two favorable aspects, sextile Saturn and trine Jupiter! Saturn says let’s get the job done. Jupiter says let’s go play!

2) Mercury in Capricorn sextiles Saturn, Capricorn’s planet! Yippee, takes one to know one, what trouble they could get in together! Don’t be fooled by Capricorn. They love a good trick and getting away with things now and again, LOL, right? However, logic and structures go together. They are the natural architects of the Universe! Mercury has the precise information Saturn has been needing. Saturn being in Pisces has tremendous psychic savvy and puts things together fluidly, in way never imagined would/could happen! It’s magic! Mercury keeps gathering the threads as things develop. It’s like gathering the Sagittarian fiery horse’s reins and putting them on the heavy work. No problem! Done! The retrograde aspect is on Capricorn Day, Winter Solstice! The sunbeams will lead us, focus at the place! Time may seem to stand still for some moments, for us to savor our perceptions. Sit with your architect and sketch out the plan. It will be a special time to take time with your elders and the ancestors. The third aspect is the day before the last of all three aspects, Mercury trine Jupiter. The baton will be passed. Mercury and Jupiter will carry the wisdom forward in their stories and teachings.

3) Mercury in Capricorn trine Jupiter in Taurus is the last of the three aspects of this Mercury retrograde set. Earthy Taurus and Capricorn are doing practical and sensible things. Mercury in Capricorn looks seriously at meaningful structures, from churches, temples, museums, schools/universities, to sustainable housing, special safe housing for elders. We’re looking at more functional systems, establishing more capable information exchange worldwide. Mercury retrogrades between the first and second aspects, right on the Sagittarius New Moon! Sagittarius is Jupiter’s sign, so there is a strong harmonic between them. It may be discussed how important it is to publish some of their work. People need to travel more to see, touch and experience new choices being put into practice. Jupiter enhances and expands the ideas Mercury brings! While Mercury is putting the puzzle together, Jupiter is making more puzzles! Linkage is everything, and it is FUN!

The GRAND FINALE of the entire Mercury RX cycle is Jan 19th, 20th!!!! The last aspect, this trine, is made the 19th! Capricorn rules time; Jupiter is standing by in Taurus, 100% available! The 20th, Sun makes its annual conjunction with Pluto at 29 (last degree) Capricorn! Intense! All that LIGHT with the underworld’s DARK planet! Revelation time! Pluto is being brightened, illumined. Enlightenment! If you can see it you can heal it. Be there, 5:46 AM Pacific! Sun enters Aquarius 6:07 AM. After the ‘cleansing,’ Pluto is ready to return to Aquarius that same day, 4:50 PM! He is freshened, ready to step in strong! Aquarius, the evolutionary sign, will scatter remaining debris in all directions. The sacred debris will be aired out and re gathered by the Tree People who will breathe new oxygen to it. It will be reassembled in a new form. It has been stored in the dark waiting for this time for a long time. Time to breathe again. And with that, the Mercury cycle ends. Job done – the Pluto transition has been made. Mercury is the planet of the Breath of Life.

Remember, all this is happening while Pluto has returned to Capricorn. Pluto rules life and death matters. Pluto cleans up messes and memories. Pluto rules the Kundalini, the fire of Life! Capricorn is our laws, construction. Together Pluto and Capricorn do remediation. It is time to adjust our laws to the reality of current times. Together we can build per our new needs. The last time Pluto was in Aquarius, it took many people to reach a significant % of outrage to leave their homes – American Revolution, to revolt – the French Revolution, to make the Industrial Revolution in England. During this coming 21 years of Pluto in Aquarius, tipping points will be reached again. Even in this humble retrograde, we are all working for that change.   Pluto in Aquarius 2023 to 2044!   Pluto’s First Seven Years in Aquarius 2023-29     100 Days of FOUR Outer Planets sign changes in 2025!

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

Retrograde Planet Diagram

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

Inner planets – Mercury, Venus, Mars – retrogrades have three phase cycles. Sun and Moon don’t retrograde. Astrologers use different names for the 3 phases. Basically they are:

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

Inner Planets! Venus retrogrades about every 19 months for only about 40 days. Only 7–8% of the population has it in their natal chart. Mercury retrogrades 3 times a year, once every 6 years it’s 4 times that year. Mercury actually spends little time retrograde, only about 3 weeks! Mars retrogrades every 25/26 months for 60-80 days. Moon and Sun never Retrograde. About 25% of the population has Mercury Retrograde, and that includes celebrities, LOL!  Fun read: Fascinating Facts About Being Born During Mercury Retrograde

Double Retrogrades! Mercury RX 3-4 times a year allows Mercury and Venus, and Mercury and Mars to frequently have overlapping retrograde periods. Venus and Mars very infrequently have double retrogrades. I looked back to 1900 and found none. The next time will be briefly Dec 14-27, 2037. That’s rare. Mercury is also RX until Dec 18, 2037! so we have TRIPLE inner planet RX for 4+ days! That’s even more rare.

Outer planets operate quite differently! Jupiter, Saturn Chiron, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto retrogrades happen every year for much longer times. These slow movers a commonly retrograde months at a time. Chiron through Pluto are generally 6 months on, 6 months off. Sometimes all of them are retrograde for months all at the same time. Other times all are moving forward at the same time! At this time, Neptune and Pluto move only about 3 degrees per year. Often the degrees overlap and certain degrees will be activated 5 times over a 3-4 year period. We use Stations much less for emphasis with them because they moving only 3 degrees a year, they are always making a close aspect to your chart factors the whole year. Also, if using a 5 degree range to consider the time of effectiveness, they can be activating your chart a year in advance! If you have factors one degree after another, that sequence can be activated for many years as each degree is activated. We often refer to those years as a certain period of our lives.

Retrogrades in the sky are passing periods. Retrogrades in a birth chart are life long, a living entity. As a place that is reprocessed over and over, fantastic skills are developed per planet and sign, along with the other chart factors that may be linked to it. The most successful world corporations often have many retrogrades in their charts! They have super expertise on several fronts and it is still growing with the times! Retrogrades keep us mindful and present.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Mercury, Venus or Mars Retrograde Matters by Sign! These correlate with the houses.

1 Aries: Personal matters, exercise, vehicle, courage, first responders, right fighter, defender of the helpless and hopeless, independence.
2 Taurus: Your body, beauty, financial comfortability, are founders, meaningful possessions, land, food sources, sustainability, values.
3 Gemini: Mind, breathing, lungs, hands, shoulders. Attention, learning skills, communications. Neighborhood.
4 Cancer: Home, family, Mother, Children, safe food, matriarchal ancestors, memory, deepest feelings, security, art, collections.
5 Leo: Love, Heart, Light, Creative expression, color, parties, theatre, presentations, teaching, giving, self realization.
6 Virgo: Caretaking of self and others, organization, records, pets, gardening – organic quality food, maintenance, crafts/craftsmanship, the finest.
7 Libra: Relationships, equality, negotiation, the Law, fine arts & beauty – theatre/symphony/museums.
8 Scorpio: Deepest relationships, passion, invincibility, shamanic healing, rebirth-death, financial power, privacy, removing pollution, detoxing.
9 Sagittarius: Spiritual studies, world systems, travel, truth, trust, wide open space, views, teaching, storytelling.
10 Capricorn: Family provider, Father, patriarchal history, incredible building, career, responsibility, science, retirement, aging, elders.
11 Aquarius: Freedom, friendship, networking, electronics, research, r/evolution, the cutting edge, the uncommon, flight, space, stars!
12 Pisces:  Being spiritual, compassion, music, magic, night time entertainment, symbology, profound images, cruises, good health for oceanic habitat and her beings.

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

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

Every Retrograde is unique by sign, aspects it makes or doesn’t to your chart factors, and houses it activates in your chart! As time goes on the planetary backdrop changes. Context shifts. Retrogrades, like any other astro phenomena, evolve. Each planet has its own matters. The sign(s) it is in while in retrograde, are how those matters are applied, which matters are prioritized, whether they are processed or not.

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

Sometimes retrogrades cross Portals, where sign changes happen! As the cycle goes forward, retrograde, then forward again, we learn how to make that particular crossing. Gradually we see how those two signs are linked, work together, support/lead each other. How each sign is a foundation for the next and the one ahead leads us from the past into new experiences! We see the contribution of each sign, how they each are part of the Zodiacal Great Circle. Be mindful of your own talent, offer it. Be mindful of what others have to offer, be grateful. You may not like them, but we can’t do without their part of the divine tapestry, the Light they hold at that crossroads or as they lead.

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

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

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

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

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

Classically, marriages are not scheduled during retrogrades, especially double retrogrades. Doubles are Mercury with Venus or Mars. Mercury is contracts. Venus is love and money. Mars is sex and independence. Hmm… Mercury can have a short attention span in some signs. Nonjudgmental communications are vital in relationships, to keep up with each other’s thinking, to allow for change. Listening is a cherished skill to balance daily sharing. Venus is love, kindness, affection, admiration, the grace of expressing appreciation, giving blessings and gratitude, important values. Mars is what we do for each other, being there, working together, times of passion, a shared exuberance of life together, mutual inspiration! If even one, sometimes some, of these basic components to a relationship changes, it can be the deal breaker. We choose relationships for the important things in life. Remember, transiting retrogrades or a RX combo, come and go, but if they are in the marriage chart they are there forever. It is the birth chart of your marriage. If a transiting retrograde activates the marriage chart retrograde(s), it can be a doubly vulnerable time, even more so if it activates one or both of each of your natal chart retros if you have one/them.

Some relationships are matters of the Soul’s growth and will happen no matter what for better or worse. They happen perhaps due to a ‘karmic’ debt, are for us to learn humility/compassion as we learn how to deal with differences, strengthen us to make personal change – and there are so many more possibilities.

Check with your astrologer. First be sure your own natal charts indicate your ability or likelihood to enjoy relationships at all. Check if basic compatibility is in especially good order. If that is good, be very careful with those wedding plans. Look ahead for timing that may be better for you. Remember, we are proposing a lifelong relationship. That is worth waiting for the very best chart. Be wise and wait if possible. A marriage chart is like a birth chart; it is with you the rest of your marriage.

Yes, there are times when it is not possible to wait. Still check for the best available chart within the time frame available. A simple thing like the Moon changing signs or houses during the day can make a big difference. Moon changes sign every 2 1/4 to 2.5 days. It changes a degree approximately every 2 hours. Sometimes just waiting a few minutes or an hour can make a significant difference! Best of luck to you.

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

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!

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.

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 slowed to his stand still station Aug 28. Pluto is retrograding getting closer by degree with Uranus. They got 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!

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!
