This goes out to all you parents out there. Did you know that astrology can pinpoint crucial turning points of evolution in your child's growth to becoming a mature adult? What i would have given for this astrological knowledge to be given to my parents about myself as a child because it could have made such a huge difference in how successful i would have become as an adult, if only my parents had known what to keep me focused on thru my childhood. That's what the 30 year Progressed Lunar Cycle Report can help us understand about our children, because they are so young we can keep them on the right track from the beginning which could be so important to their future success. Now when i say "success" i mean successful in becoming the person they are meant to be in this life, which isn't always about business or financial success.
Every month, the earth has a 28 day lunar cycle starting with a new moon. There is 8 different phases within this cycle including the full moon half way thru where the waxing energy reaches a peak and then starts to release energy thru the rest of the waning phases. This same process happens on a long term level for each of us. Rather than being 28 days long, our personal progressed lunar cycle last for 30 years! However, this cycle has different starting points for each individual depending on the moon phase they were born under. So people might start their life on a full moon where others might start on a balsamic moon, etc. It all depends on each personal unique birth chart. Having the dates of each phase for our child can be extremely helpful to know because this report will tell us your child's first New Moon phase which will start them on the very beginning stage of a long 30 year process where half way thru 15 years later will be a flowering time in their life when they reach the progressed full moon phase that last about 4 years. This high moment of flowering phase for the child's life will be the rewards for the previous 15 years that all started with their progressed New Moon phase which can happen at any age depending on the unique birth chart.
The thing to know about this long 30 year cycle is that the full moon flowering phase which has the most potential allowing for personal success is only going to be as bountiful as the amount of work we put into our life the previous 15 years. This means the most important date to know for your child is when they begin a personal progressed new moon phase. That phase will be when seeds are being planted (so to speak) for what will flower in the full moon phase 15 years later. Now, most people are not aware of when this new moon happens, besides life circumstances most likely starting new in many ways. But the new moon is a dark time, because there is no light being reflected from the moon until it progresses forward into the crescent phase a few years later. This is when those seeds from the new moon phase planted consciously or otherwise begin to sprout and show results in the person's outer life. This is where the true hardwork starts to maintaining those baby spouts for the future grwoth.The more focused someone is on a long term objective for their life from the very beginning, staying the course for those 15 years, the more likely their personal full moon harvest phase will be healthy and abundant providing them with full illumination to their life and possible success.
Most people not aware of this long process so might unconsciously set intentions for their life around the new moon time but then in later years deviate from that course starting a new plan for the future maybe even a few different times within that 15 year waxing energy process, therefore weakening their full moon success potential. It would be like planting a garden on the new moon, only to uproot and start over multiple times before the harvest when really that time should have been for a vegetative growth process in order to have a full mature harvest later. It would be like starting a garden late in the season. It's just not going to produce as much as it would have from the start of spring. That's what the new moon phase represents - spring and new beginnings that manifest later.
You can see then, how useful this information for your child is. This report tells you the dates of each phase for your child and what years they should be focused on a long term objective that will aid in their future success. If your child has a new moon at say age 5, then they will have a full moon at age 20. The dates all depends on your child's unique birth chart, so children will experience these phases at different times. The child doesn't need to know about this, and you can let them take a natural course evolving their personal interests but around their new moon phase you will most likely see them interested in a particular area of life. For example: they like fire trucks, or police cars, or they want to be a movie star, or a writer one day, etc Whatever they are into around the time of their new moon will tell you what this next 15 years of waxing energy could potentially create for them, This will help you keep them on track with their goals. Now, this can't be forced, or even become to much of a thing, or they might rebel against your wishes depending on their personal birth energies. You have to allow them to find their own path, but this knowledge helps you keep them focused on that path so they have a bountiful harvest later. Again, you can do this without their knowledge which is recommended so not to make them feel like you are interfering with what they want for themselves, however this info will give you advantage on how to keep them on track. Or, it's just info for you as a parent so you know when and what phases your child will be going thru as your raise them.
I highly recommend this report for all parents. I think it's very important to know. Not only for your children but for your own cycle phase dates as well! That's why i keep this report very affordable at $40 USD. Once you have these dates of phases, you have them for life! If you are interested in this report, please follow this link to order, then email me the name, birthday, time of birth and location of birth for the person getting report along with their current location to Astrohawk11@gmail.com. I will then send a conformation email within one day letting you know how long before the report will be sent to your email via PDF doc, which could take up to one week depending on how much work i have. Thank you for reading and i hope this information will go a long way in you assisting your child for future success. Order here - 30 year progressed lunar cycle report Thank you!

Aquarius New Moon Feb 8 2016 - using intellect to help manifest new visions on the horizon
Welcome to another New Moon. This one is at 19 degrees Aquarius on Feb 8 2016 at 6:39 am PST Monday morning. This is always an opportune time for working with the energies of new beginnings and planting seeds of intentions for changes in certain areas of life. If you find the house in your chart that has Aquarius on the cusp, this will show you what area of your life is ready for some kind of change. In general though, this new moon is best used for starting fresh when it comes to you, friends and how you see yourself within the group context.
Another open outlet is redefining your vision, hopes, dreams, plans and ambitions for the future and what you would like to manifest this year, looking far ahead, detaching from heavy emotions and staying open minded, viewing life intellectually. This energy will make is easier to break some rules, be innovative, independent, and think out side of the box when it comes to visions and long term plans. Aquarius season is always the odd ball time of year when people act a little strange from the norm, looking to express themselves in natural authentic ways. This energy can increase the need for rebelliousness, emotional detachment,strong need for freedom and independence along with being more private with your feelings and life matters even-though this is good social friendship energy it's done from an emotionally detached place that doesn't appreciate others crowding you. Sometimes this energy can inspire such rebellion that people find it easier to socially break rules and act out, even in perversity at times if they are struggling to contain a need to break from current restrictions holding them back in life.
The energy is very detached now and not very emotionally sensitive at all because there is a lot of Capricorn and Aquarius being activated. That will all change when we move into Pisces season next month but for now, this is where we are at: using the mind and intellect to make decisions rather than feelings, although a new moon means feelings are on-board as well. Get your future visions in order and then plant seeds of intentions for those thoughts, and you will see that they start to manifest over the next 6 months. Write them down!
There is two separating aspects from this new moon. One is a square from Mars that was exact over the weekend which adds a lot of aggressive competitive energy, being over-assertive, reckless, determined and overly active and rebellious to do what we want to do. Some conflicts are possible with this but it's mainly about frustrations from the previous lunar cycle that we needed to release over the weekend so won't be playing a big part in this new lunar cycle starting, besides some left over frustrating desires to get what we want at all cost but has allowed us to have more determination in this cycle for real change. The other aspect is a separating sextile to Uranus in Aries which also was exact over the weekend connected to the previous lunar cycle helping us get excited about making real changes to our life in dramatic ways, releasing old visions and emotional roadblocks that have been in the way of manifesting true change, which this new moon now allows for.
The strongest aspect of this new moon is an applying Quincunx aspect to Jupiter and the North Node in Virgo.This is an aspect of adjustment that will become obvious in the coming days. As something in our life makes it clear that we need to adjust our long term plans and visions in order to fully achieve them.We might get reminded that we need to narrow focus from the big vision and look at the details of any new plans as well, not forgetting to be organized and practical. Adjustments will be necessary over the next few days.These adjustments will have major impacts on your future so make sure to take any annoying practical matters or concerns nagging at you, seriously.
Relationships are also at a new point with this new moon, including friendships and all connections, reflected by Venus past Pluto square Uranus and now moving into a trine with Jupiter and the North Node. Over the next few days relationships will be in positive alignment helping expand new beginnings and future opportunities with others in different ways than the past. Relationship activity the first week of the new moon will have big impacts on the future with the people that you are dealing with now. There will be some kind of positive expansion taking place with others and also possibly with money matters. There will be a good solid plan for the future this week in how to get all the things we want and desire, including relationship desires. So that's very positive after some relationship disruptions lately - we start to get what we want! There is also a healing aspect with this new moon and relationships, a true new beginning when it comes to connecting with others.
So set your intentions Monday morning after the new moon is exact for best results. Start new activities, plans, dreams, etc as this is perfect new beginning energy for manifesting all your dreams and visions. Write them down! Start a new way in how you see yourself and interact within the group while still staying an individual and unique, allowing others to be unique as well. Expect some odd funky stuff this cycle. It is Aquarius after all!
If you would like a personal report on what all this means for you, you can order my custom transits report for $60 and i'll explain what all this means personally for you, or you can choose from one of my other options - services page here .Thanks. Enjoy and happy new moon folks.

Game Day Astrology - Super Bowl 50 Feb 7 2016
The cosmos weather for the big game Super Bowl 50 on Sunday Feb 7 2016 has both the sun and moon in the sign of Aquarius but the moon's position is just hours before the new moon on Feb 8 which leaves game day lacking in any true significant energy as the moon is in the very last waning phase of the monthly lunar cycle, where energy is at its lowest point. The moon doesn't' make any aspects to other planets during the game which could indicate nothing major or exciting happens, and it could just drag out the entire time. The major aspects of the day has the sun separating from a square aspect to Mars exact just hours before start time. This happens one day a year, and just so happens this year to be on Super Bowl Sunday.
Sun square Mars Sunday could indicate problems, conflicts and even surprises that could effect the game in a negative way. I don't want to put a damper on your party day but there is even a chance at some kind of violent aggressive act in the world that day that steals the spotlight before the game, if it's not related to the game, which is a strong possibility. Security should be heightened as this square aspect increases the odds of some kind of aggressive actions from groups, organizations, etc or directed to groups, organizations, etc around that time. There could even be problems with having everything set-up and ready by start time do to conflicts or problems earlier in the day.
Aquarius is the sign of the group; it can be very detached energy, aloof and prone to breaking rules. Weird stuff can happen when both the sun and moon are in Aquarius so this game is likely to be strange with unusual circumstances taking place. The crowd will be edgy, hyper and expecting more from the teams then they might deliver, which could cause the crowd to act out. The saving grace could be Venus in a positive alignment with Mars while Mercury is in positive alignment with Jupiter which will all increase positive social energy with extra enthusiasm. However, this is from the sign Capricorn which is dry and serious, not exactly a party sign. In fact, there will be no energy in the fun party sign of Leo that day,so i just don't expect game day to be all that fun and exciting. Although, Venus is separating from a square aspect from Uranus, exact on Saturday, day before game which will have people and social energy very rebellious, leading to unusual attractions and surprise events in people's personal lives the couple days before the game. In fact, a lot of people will experience disruptions in their relationships the week before game which could leave them distracted when game day actually arrives.
So with the moon making no aspects, it could be a boring game, although maybe unusual in some way. I'm not making any public predictions of who i think will win, this post is just looking at the general universal energy of the day, which again, looks full of conflict and unusual circumstances, lacking energy and pushing too hard.
I guess we'll have to wait and see what happens. I hope i'm wrong and turns out to be a fun distracting day from real life, but i doubt it. Still though, it's all just a game, so don't let the day upset you too much as there is many more serious matters of life to think about around this time. It's only a game. Thanks for reading.

Leo Full Moon Jan 23 2016 -Illuminating deeper truths & visions for self fulfillment
This Leo full moon will be exact on Jan 23 2016 at 5:45 pm PST. 3 deg Leo. This breaks open the emotional tension that has been building since the last new moon in Capricorn asking for some kind of change in circumstances for the next month, especially when it comes to feelings, and the area of life you have the sign Leo ruling and the area of life you have Aquarius ruling (houses). The Leo moon is ruled by the sun which is in Aquarius and Aquarius points to Uranus which is in Square to Mercury Rx conjunct Pluto! This tells me that this full moon has a lot to do with the tension that has been building from the deep hidden feelings, thoughts and or communication that has been surfacing this last week or so and is a culmination to the energy and tension building around certain thoughts you've had around a subject or area of life this past couple months that has been somewhat uncertain and a little troubling, as we wait for more information to fully figure it out. This has a lot to do with self and long term plans and achievements.
If you haven't had any new deep hidden feelings/thoughts or information surfacing this last week or so then it's likely this full moon will trigger that release of energy and bring more awareness to these deeper hidden truths about yourself and others trying to surface out of the shadows of your consciousness this next several days. Leo is about the self, creativity and what makes your heart feel fulfilled. Six months ago we had a Leo New Moon where intentions were set for finding greater creativity and happiness in your life. Now as that Leo New Moon has become Full we experience full illumination to what it is we need in order to feel that happiness. You can expect new revelations around what your heart desires the most at this time in your life to feel happy with yourself and more creative. The kicker of this full awareness is that what you learn about yourself might be troubling or hard to accept as Mercury is with Pluto. We are being asked to change our long term perceptions about our self and how we see our unique place in the group/world in order to truly find more joy, happiness and creativity in our life. Aquarius is the world, friends,the group and future dreams and visions so gaining more awareness about your unique special place within the group context is possible with this full moon.
This is a release of creative energy that's been bubbling under the surface for awhile. It's ok to break some rules now and try something unique, expressing yourself in new creative ways as long as you keep the need for rebellion in proper perspective and not let it create too much drama in your life by what this full moon wants to reveal. If you can try and balance your Leo house with your Aquarius house (areas of life) giving both equal attention, letting go a little of one or the other for greater balance then you will feel a sense of release and relief the next few days as the dramatic emotional energy starts to wane.
Any relationship tension you might have felt recently will also start to release this next several days which is reflective of Venus changing signs into Capricorn at the time of this full moon. This is relationships, desires, values and money energy changing from Sagittarius which has had peoples desires uplifted for something beyond mundane, dreamy, adventurous and idealistic this last several weeks into Capricorn which is more grounded and logical, mature and responsible. The goddess of love is no longer in a dreamy state, she wants something real and solid, and so desires will start finding long term needs and achievements attractive on multiple levels including long term relationship commitments. In fact as Venus aligns with Pluto this next couple weeks, relationship, desires and values changes drastically. Love and money issues get intense and most people will discover what has control over them, even from under the surface. This could be in any context - other people, habits, desires, etc. You will gain awareness to what or whom has control over your Venus energy which will give you opportunity to continue with another year cycle of this power dynamic or let it go for good. Regardless, the universal desires will be for personal long term achievement to what it is we each want on a personal level, especially in regards to the area of life where you have Capricorn on the cusp, along with the area of life you have Saturn in. This also means, in general, that the feminine will be more attracted to the shy, reserved mature guy that takes care of business. You would do well to keep date nights somewhat traditional now, ie: opening doors, paying her way, conservative music, environment, situations, etc..basically, treat her old school as Venus transits old school Capricorn while understanding and respecting her position as a modern woman. Venus (women) will be attracted to people with authority now, a little more so than normal. Mars being in Scorpio gives the masculine the upper hand, a very aggressive and dominating placement so the masculine side of the love union needs to act like a man, loving, but firm with the feminine showing her that he knows how to take care of business...on multiple levels, if you know what i mean...
Expect big power and control issues to surface as Venus gets closer to Pluto peaking Feb 5th and 6th and there will be significant relationship changes around that time, renewing or ending. This could be true for your personal desires, values, money and attractions as well. Mercury will start to move forward again but still with Pluto and covering these deep feelings and thoughts trying to surface so intense, unusual and unexpected communication could arrive any day from now through Feb 5 and 6 at which time all this energy we have been dealing with the last couple months will finally find resolution.
So, just continue to ride the intense waves of change...gracefully, if at all possible.
I wish you all a happy Leo full moon.

Your Mercury Progressed Retrograde - I bet you had no idea
This blog is best viewed via web version
I want to talk a little more about Mercury Retrograde since we are currently in this transiting Rx phase through Capricorn and i still see so many people misunderstanding what these Rx phases are really about. If you have been following my work you know that i preach how Mercury Rx is nothing to fear or hide from and in fact this phase is very important and in desperate need of receiving more respect, especially from professional astrologers. In this post though, i want to bring something to your attention that you might not have realized, in hopes to burst your retrograde perception bubble of the doom. Does everything really go haywire when transit Mercury is moving backwards? This phase happens for about three weeks, around three times a year, every single year. That's a lot of time for the mental energy flow to be moving in reverse motion. Could it be true that over 2 1/2 months out of every year we live in mental chaos needing to hide from the world so the universe doesn't fuck with us? C'mon, first of all, the universe doesn't play games; secondly, people thinking that Mercury Rx means the mind isn't functioning properly only acting as a "trickster" is just down right insulting to the many people born with Mercury Rx.
And yes, What about Mercury Rx in the birth chart?
Does this mean these people are mentally screwed for life? Again, Cmon, get real. Remember, you can't isolate any one aspect in the birth chart. To know how someone is functioning mentally, you have to perceive the entire chart as a whole. The signs, houses and aspects from Mercury in the birth chart, including the rulers of those signs and houses will say much more about a person's mind regardless if Mercury is moving direct or retrograde. I would say a person that has a hard aspect from Mercury to Neptune would have a much harder time staying in a healthy mental flow than someone that just has a Mercury Rx with no challenging aspects. It all depends on those aspects, not the motion.
People born with Mercury Rx had to have that placement in order to properly fulfill their unique purpose in life, whatever that may be. It's not a mistake or a negative mishap holding them back in life. They could not have the proper perspective on their life without this position. The same goes for people born with Mercury direct - they needed this position in order to fulfill their unique purpose in life. People born with Mercury Rx is actually a gift. They can see outside the box; they have depth perception and make some of the best writers - they have a very strong active mind. Once they learn how to do something on their own, they usually excel at it far past what a Mercury direct person could accomplish. Any real problems with being born Mercury Rx will most likely come in early life as the child is being flooded with mental conditioning from the outside world that is contradictory to their own thoughts and way of looking at life. So it just takes a little time to get in their own mental flow, after they learn to trust themselves, learning on their own rather than getting all screwed up by the perceptions of others. Unfortunately, based on those early experiences, the person starts to believe something is wrong with themselves. What a shame. Again, being born with Mercury Rx or Direct means nothing on its own: the entire chart has to be factored in and the aspects from Mercury are the most telling! But if we are only going to judge based on Mercury Rx or Direct, than I would go so far as to say that people born with Mercury Rx are the brilliant ones of the world and the Mercury direct folks are just, idk, "ordinary", or "average". ha. But if you really want to know the truth, look at signs, houses and aspects, regardless of motion!
Don't feel bad if you were born with an average mind. (Mercury direct) You too might get a chance at experiencing the long term effects of Mercury retrograde, by progression!
I say this because people born with Mercury Rx will have it progress direct at some point in their life, for the rest of their life. Any extra challenges that it caused will most likely be worked out in early life. When Mercury progresses direct, it indicates they no longer have to deal with some of those early complications the Rx condition might have brought, and they are at this point fully in the flow of their perceptions. Whereas, people born with Mercury direct will most likely have it progressed Retrograde at some point in life, usually later where the progressed Mercury Rx phase lasts for years, if not rest of entire life! That's right, you might be in a long term progressed phase of Mercury Retrograde! That's kind of funny if you think about it, especially for all those people that talk shit about Mercury Rx in transit. Truth is, we all have the influence of both direct and retro motion of Mercury in our life, at some point, and we would all be dumb fucks without it.
If you have Mercury progressed retro, than this stage of your life you are finally being able to open up your perceptions past the garbage mentality and conditioning of the mainstream world. Congratulations, you might becoming mentally brilliant in your old age. But than again, i guess we should check the aspects off your Mercury before we say that for sure ;-)
If you don't follow or know much about your progressed chart, you missing out, big time. Astrology is complex stuff, and i guarantee you your progressed chart is reflecting your current life experiences more so than your natal chart, at this point. You will always have these natal influences to some degree and is what you might fall back on when acting and feeling unconsciously but the progressed chart shows how your life experiences have changed you in certain ways, changing the flavor of your life. These progressions work on the long term and are also very sensitive to transits as well.
So there you go. Is your Progressed Mercury moving direct or retrograde?
Yep, you might be dealing with the energy of Mercury Rx every single day of your life for years, even if you were't born with it! Oh no!! lol. It's all going to be OK, once you start to understand what retrograde phases mean, you won't have to hide or dread the transit Mercury Rx phases anymore. As i said before, the only time that you need to pay special attention is when Mercury is in station and changing directions which only lasts a couple days. Any other little mishaps you experience during a Mercury Rx transit phase most likely would have happened regardless of Mercury's direction. And if something unusual did happen that gets your attention in Rx phase, perhaps it was the universe helping you see something that you were over -looking before. Perhaps it's a gift in the long run - If you only had the eyes to see...
Here is what a progressed chart looks like.
For added perspective, you can even place progressed chart in a bi-wheel with your natal chart to see just how far each of your energies have progressed at this point in your life. (below)
Hope the info was helpful. Now check and see if your Mercury is progressed retro or direct!

I want to talk a little more about Mercury Retrograde since we are currently in this transiting Rx phase through Capricorn and i still see so many people misunderstanding what these Rx phases are really about. If you have been following my work you know that i preach how Mercury Rx is nothing to fear or hide from and in fact this phase is very important and in desperate need of receiving more respect, especially from professional astrologers. In this post though, i want to bring something to your attention that you might not have realized, in hopes to burst your retrograde perception bubble of the doom. Does everything really go haywire when transit Mercury is moving backwards? This phase happens for about three weeks, around three times a year, every single year. That's a lot of time for the mental energy flow to be moving in reverse motion. Could it be true that over 2 1/2 months out of every year we live in mental chaos needing to hide from the world so the universe doesn't fuck with us? C'mon, first of all, the universe doesn't play games; secondly, people thinking that Mercury Rx means the mind isn't functioning properly only acting as a "trickster" is just down right insulting to the many people born with Mercury Rx.
And yes, What about Mercury Rx in the birth chart?
Does this mean these people are mentally screwed for life? Again, Cmon, get real. Remember, you can't isolate any one aspect in the birth chart. To know how someone is functioning mentally, you have to perceive the entire chart as a whole. The signs, houses and aspects from Mercury in the birth chart, including the rulers of those signs and houses will say much more about a person's mind regardless if Mercury is moving direct or retrograde. I would say a person that has a hard aspect from Mercury to Neptune would have a much harder time staying in a healthy mental flow than someone that just has a Mercury Rx with no challenging aspects. It all depends on those aspects, not the motion.
People born with Mercury Rx had to have that placement in order to properly fulfill their unique purpose in life, whatever that may be. It's not a mistake or a negative mishap holding them back in life. They could not have the proper perspective on their life without this position. The same goes for people born with Mercury direct - they needed this position in order to fulfill their unique purpose in life. People born with Mercury Rx is actually a gift. They can see outside the box; they have depth perception and make some of the best writers - they have a very strong active mind. Once they learn how to do something on their own, they usually excel at it far past what a Mercury direct person could accomplish. Any real problems with being born Mercury Rx will most likely come in early life as the child is being flooded with mental conditioning from the outside world that is contradictory to their own thoughts and way of looking at life. So it just takes a little time to get in their own mental flow, after they learn to trust themselves, learning on their own rather than getting all screwed up by the perceptions of others. Unfortunately, based on those early experiences, the person starts to believe something is wrong with themselves. What a shame. Again, being born with Mercury Rx or Direct means nothing on its own: the entire chart has to be factored in and the aspects from Mercury are the most telling! But if we are only going to judge based on Mercury Rx or Direct, than I would go so far as to say that people born with Mercury Rx are the brilliant ones of the world and the Mercury direct folks are just, idk, "ordinary", or "average". ha.
