Sun square Neptune, Venus trine Uranus

We have some interesting astrological aspects building today that might be worth mentioning to make it easier to stay in awareness. First off we have the moon changing signs from all business Capricorn to emotionally detached & chill Aquarius at 11:22am PST which changes the mood and puts the emphasis on Uranus that has a trine aspect from Venus which is a positive easy flowing energy connection between these two planets Yet, at the same time the Sun in Sagittarius is squaring fuzzy Neptune in Pisces which is a not so easy flowing connection between these two planets. So a bit of a mixed bag of treats we get today. However, these two different aspects are connected and before the challenging square becomes exact tonight circumstances and feelings may be extra sweet, that could easily lead us astray. This tells me something unusual and exciting is setting up. Maybe some kind of new attraction surprises you, or perhaps some kind of unusual desire to break free doing something fun and exciting. Whatever it is, freedom and rebelliousness is strong for the feminine energy today as lightning strikes her, igniting passions & desires of some kind, most likely along the lines of dreams, fantasies and adventurers.  Normally I would say this is positive and to embrace it. However right after the Venus/Uranus trine becomes exact the Sun/Neptune square becomes exact around 7-9pm tonight Cal time.

The Sun square Neptune means some kind of illusion is forming, so in general most people are not seeing reality very clear today. Easily swayed by dreams and fantasies which can, and usually does bring disillusionment later. It's easy to lie to self, lie to others or simply be deceived without even trying. This is the kind of energy that can make someone show up that blows your mind, surprises you, excites you, and leads you to temptation that will have negative consequences later. Be extra careful with money as well. Maybe some kind of good deal comes your way and excites you big time, but later find out you were deceived. Or maybe new desires and fantasies arise today about some kind of new adventure that only leads to disappointment. I think you get the idea, it can manifest differently for everyone depending on your own astrology. It's easy to see the good rather than the negative so just try not to fool yourself or others. These unrealistic ideas could be related to something that happened around November 20 when Venus squared Neptune. Some kind of illusion was happening that day most likely connected to relationships and or money, now round two.

I think it's safe to go with the flow and see what transpires today, embracing some fun but be careful tonight try not to set yourself up for disappointment but on the other hand let yourself feel some unusual adventure and excitement as unusual events are bound to happen tonight, and use it to understand what you might really seek in love and money that goes beyond the norm, stepping outside the box and doing things differently. These aspects are best used for imagination, some fun escape into other realities like movies, books, etc, but some could get totally wasted in escape with drugs or drink. The sun is highlighting delusions so just keep that in mind today and try and focus the energy into something fun and playful knowing it might not be real or lead you to anything different. Not everyone will know they are full of shit today so take everything you hear from others lightly and know that they might not be trying to deceive you, yet they are. Not a day for dealing with business or money. It's the kind of energy where you might hook up with someone new then they never call you again...

Stuff like that. It won't last long, Have a great day no matter what.

Good luck friends!

Earthquake Astrology

Large Earthquake risk will be increasing next several weeks as earth pressures build do to Uranus and Pluto moving back into square with each other. Increased tremors already picking up on the west coast of the usa with a peculiar swarm around 50 miles east of Lakeview Oregon which has potential of causing a 5-6m at some point.

I love this kind of stuff and will be writing more blog posts about the correlation between earthquakes and space weather including rare planetary alignments that can cause the ground to shift. Those quakes in Oklahoma are all most likely caused by fracking operations. Why the hell are we allowing that to happen? It will produce a large quake at some point, manmade and lets not forget about all the old predictions that claim increased random earthquakes in unusual places around the globe only becoming stronger and stronger, destabilizing the earth which can also cause more sinkholes to open up. It's time for the people to take back the world not allowing the greed of a few to dictate how we all live anymore.

Oh no, it's the Sagittarius new moon  today, everyone will have an opinion now..

Stay tuned for more, I'm going to try and start making earthquake predictions soon but that's tricky business, won't be easy.

Happy new moon.

Venus into Sagittarius

 Transit Venus is changing signs today from deep dark passionate Scorpio into adventurous Sagittarius 11/16  - 11:04 am PST. This is the feminine energy; universal attraction and desire, as well is symbolic of resources, values and relationships among other keywords. This should effect us all on some level as your house containing Sagittarius will be activated by this transit, bringing more sweetness, beauty and love to this area of your life. (check your chart) but the energy shift will be even stronger if you have a lot of personal planets in Taurus or Libra, especially Taurus rising and Libra rising as Venus is the most important influence for those folks.

Venus has been in the underworld where attraction has been on the deeper darker aspects of life going through a transformation on what we all value at this time, transforming relationships on the way. Looks like Venus has had enough of the drama and darkness, now seeking greater lighter heights in love and experience.  The thing is we still have a good amount of planets in Scorpio so it's only this side of our nature that is escaping into brighter desires. This means,  the new attractions and desires caused by this energy shift won't be actually manifesting for awhile until the Sun moves into Sag as well. Venus is ahead of the game, desiring the future and will be attracted to adventure and play. Venus in Sag needs a certain level of excitement, wanting to take on bigger challenges in love and money with much more optimism and enthusiasm about what new pleasures might be on the way. But those pleasures are not here yet so Venus is on her own exploring new territory, seeking something more than the ordinary.  Our pleasure and love side will be attracted to risk and dreaming about the future, whats around the corner. The fantasies will be strong this next week as Venus squares Neptune, then we have a new moon in Sag coming up as well that will also square Neptune so will be important to be aware of illusions in money and love and what you are seeking more of at this time because disillusionment can follow if you're not careful that what you seek is actually real  and possible. It's cool to work with some of these fantasies that will no doubt arise in you just make sure you keep one foot on the ground.

This transit will also connect to your Leo house where Sagittarius's ruler Jupiter is causing Venus (our feminine side) wanting fun, play, self expression, joy, recreation and much more action and adventure so use this to your advantage and surprise your lover with new thrills and adventures to keep him/her satisfied. 

Sagittarius is also a very spiritual philosophical sign seeking greater knowledge and wisdom, so apply this to Venus and some of us might be attracted to learning some new things that personally interest you. Use your feminine powers for spiritual pursuits and manifestations and then when the Sun follows in the same path, can help bring these new desires to fulfillment, so dream big my friends, just make sure it's mixed with some grounded logic as well, for best results.

Enjoy the energy change!

Mars conjunct Pluto in Capricorn Monday 11 10 2014

Some very intense energy to work with on Monday as the moon enters the sign of Cancer which represents emotional circumstances building an opposition with cold as ice Pluto and Mars making a conjunction in Capricorn. We all have way bigger odds of experiencing some kind of emotional intensity that day and night. Timing could be different from everyone but will be peaking around Monday night 10:40 pm Pacific time. Mars is where the action and passion is, sometimes with aggression and it has to get past Pluto which is a slow mover, so might feel like running into a brick wall. Some kind of powerful force we have to get past in order to archive our long term goals that will bring us more safety and security, It's a new two year cycle for initiating those long term objectives but not just any plan will do. Pluto and Mars are the co-rulers of Scorpio where the Sun, Venus and Saturn are and nothing superficial will make it, taking the easy way out won't cut it this time around so i advise a grounded solid plan of attack. Mercury just slipped back into Scorpio as well, ready to hear and perceive deeper truths so the energy really gets deep and intense after tomorrow. 

This is prime earthquake energy in place for all planes this next week so just keep that in mind so you are not caught off guard. Maybe this won't manifest consciously for everyone but the odds are good that it will, in some form. At the very least some inner conflict between what needs to be done vs what you want to do. Careful of sensitivity as well not everyone is as tough as Capricorn. Fears can come up, power struggles, manipulation and other intense situations but i'm sure you'll have a desire to take care of business. If you are into ritual and energy work Monday night would be prime to tap into this power and focus it on long term objectives. Symbolically, this is about transforming your actions to get where you need to go. get passionate about your deepest truest passions and commit to them!

Hit me up if you need me to look at your astrology. Check your Capricorn and Scorpio houses for where the earthquakes could be.
good luck my friends,

Taurus Full Moon 2014 - bringing balance to practical needs vs desires

The Taurus Moon becomes full today at 2:22 pm PST which is symbolic of grounded practical earth energy that may give us the feeling of stable emotions and needing to fulfill earthy desires despite the tension with opposition that the full moon creates. Opposite the Taurus Moon is the Sun and Venus in passionate Scorpio which is helping illuminate deeper desires that are not so easily understood. What is it that you value the most? This full moon will most likely bring awareness to personal values and desires that are much more elusive in understanding and obtaining but is very possible in fulfilling if willing to bring balance to this polarity of your deep inner world vs what you need on the practical. This is the sexual axis, the resource axis, values axis; that of yours and other peoples so is a peak time for tension in personal relationships where both people's needs, values and desires need to be considered and balanced as one if your life is merged with another. This axis works on a self level as well, highlighting what you value and need the most in your life to keep you going vs what it is your soul desires just to have and experience at this time in your life which will become clear that those needs and desires run much deeper than simply what money can buy.

This full moon has a few positive outlets to release the built up tension if consciously directing the energy into the trine aspect the moon is making with Mars and Pluto in Capricorn and also through the trine aspect the Sun is making to the space body Chiron in Pisces which is symbolic of old wounds that can be healed the next couple weeks through emotional transformation simply by the new awareness the Taurus full moon creates. The illumination brought forth by this full moon has the potential to transform your life by giving you the awareness and motivation to take practical actions through strategy and long term planning that will help fulfill your life on a much deeper level and on the surface level as well, in what you need in practical daily life vs passions and desires. Mars approaching Pluto this weekend is stirring up a lot of powerful intense energy where we might feel a passion to obtain and achieve something in our life that we have been wanting for a while yet the power and control of other people that have different views and opinions might not make that process all that easy and so some power struggles can build the next few days, within the self as well - what you truly desire vs what you truly need. Try not to fight yourself or others but rather acknowledge and accept the hidden truths about what it is you actually want for your life at this time even if it's far from practical but at the same time be willing to acknowledge and accept what others in your life need as well. Accepting self desires are the most important at this time though.

A part of being human is experiencing physical pleasures through the five senses and one of the most magical of those experiences is sexual merging with another soul. We have been programmed with so many lies and half truths about what is right or wrong on those intimate levels, with some people suffering from old sexual wounds and hang-ups so this full moon could be considered a sexual healing moon if willing to look at these issues from a new evolved perspective about the self. and others. Repression of these human desires only leads to more pain and suffering in the long run. I encourage you to explore this sexual healing potential this next couple weeks with self or a partner no matter what your past, deeming the process as sacred and natural part of being human, healing and releasing the wounds of the past for good, or, at least starting down that sexual heading path that will help bring more content to all areas of your life.

Make some changes, go after what you want and need but try not to cut-down others on the way. Happy Taurus full moon, may the illumination bring you fulfillment on all levels.
