Scorpio New Moon/Solar Eclipse 2014

Just a heads up: this afternoon brings a big astrological energy shift from social diplomatic graceful Libra to deep intense and private Scorpio as the Sun and Moon come together for a Scorpio New Moon producing a partial Solar Eclipse at 2:56 pm. The Sun and Moon are also conjunct Venus as she changes signs today into Scorpio as well. This should be a noticeable energy shift especially for Taurus Rising and Libra Rising folks but we should all feel it in some form and the eclipse can bring the shadow forth and help the consciousness expand. New Moon's are a time for new beginnings and when conjunct Venus means a new beginning for values, love, money and relationships - setting new intentions that will manifest over the next 6 months, releasing old psychological crap that keeps us stuck in unhealthy relationship patterns. It will be much easier to see and understand our shadow this next few weeks so it's best not to fight the process and accept & release fears that might come up. Libra was the season of coming together with others and now Scorpio season is about taking those relationships and connections to deeper levels, merging with others on emotional and sexual levels as well if you have a new romantic relationship and possibly merging with others financially in other circumstances. Venus in Scorpio won't be attracted to anything superficial and her desires will become strong especially for people ruled by the planet Venus or have a strong Venus, Libra, Scorpio, or Taurus energy in their chart. Mercury is still retrograde in Libra reevaluating some relationships but will turn direct in a couple days and pass over all the thoughts, information and past conversation again for the third and final time before moving into Scorpio next month at which time all the information you'll need to make those important decisions will become clear. The universal mood won't be as social and graceful after today, people will get more real and less willing to accommodate others. The mood turns private and sexual, so set new intentions tonight and tomorrow with all this stuff listed above for best results and try not to fear the deep dark hidden desires of the feminine (Venus in Scorpio).

Good luck!

Grand-Fire-Trine- Full Lunar Eclipse - Aries Full Moon 2014

How is everyone doing these days? There is some complex very dynamic energy in place right now, waxing to the full eclipsed Aries moon on Oct 8 with both challenging and positive energy that we can tap into with this astrological pattern setting up which includes a Grand-Fire-Trine.

Grand-Trines are positive easy flowing energy where the planets involved are working together. This is the positive side of this energy building. However there is some very intense stressful energy as well which includes the Sun squaring Pluto and then opposing Uranus and the full eclipsed moon with Venus following along in the shadows, which by the way is in Libra now. The square and opposition aspects are not so easy but force action to take place. However, with this Grand-Fire-Trine connected there is an outlet for the buildup of tension filled energy if we direct the flow into the trine and not get stuck in the square or opposition aspects on the full moon/eclipse. 

So how do we do that you ask? Take action!

The Grand-Fire-Trine is between Jupiter in Leo, Uranus in Aries and Mars in Sagittarius. This is calling for big time changes because the Fire element is symbolic of creative impulsive action that needs an outlet for the fire, or explosions are possible and likely, metaphorically speaking.  Jupiter in Leo is expansion in self confidence and expression; general expansive joy & creative energy looking to take us to the next level in our life where we incorporate more heart into everything we do - whereas Uranus in Aries is very independent revolutionary energy looking to break us out of the box and try something totally new and exciting full of innovation, uniqueness and rebellion, bringing sudden flashes of insights that can help us break the mold. It's important to remember that Uranus is currently retrograde which means it appears to be moving backwards over territory it already covered once before and so the revolutionary feelings and sudden changes of this last year are now happening on an inner level as well, which changes how we feel about current life events and helps us feel bold and courageous about all the changes taking place, preparing us for future developments that will no doubt come within the next 6 months. Mars in Sagittarius is the general action flow right now looking ahead in what we want to do and create. It's optimistic, adventurous, dangerous, impulsive giving us even more courage and strength in our ideas and beliefs helping us feel the confidence we need to trust in our self and impulses for creative action. The Mars energy is seeking something more than the average experience and risk is the magical ingredient. Combine all these planets and signs together and we got ourselves a little situation here :-)

This tells me that we all need to take a risk this next couple months and really expand past comfort zones. However, a smart well thought out risk is best and I do advise extreme caution with these fire trines - it will be a tricky balance to find but we can do it if in awareness. Step out from what you know well and explore new possibilities. Be bold and adventurous; innovate and create; start living with more heart and passion; accept yourself, fully, feeling good in your own skin and expressing yourself with more confidence than ever before. Just don't take extreme action for the reason of rebellion alone because this energy is not for solo adventures or thumbing your nose up at others.

This is because the Sun, Venus and North Node are all in Libra and this lunar eclipse is on the Aries/Libra axis so this Grand-Fire-Trine is directly related to relationships! Take everything i said about the fire trines and apply that to partnering up with others, doing something totally new and unique with people This could be friendships, romantic, business, anything that involves you and others. The universe is asking us all to create new realities with those folks but it might not be all that easy for us and in-order to create those new realities with other people, the old realities must first die off, or completely change...

That's the nature of this total eclipsed Aries Moon on Oct 8. -It's about release from the past starting something totally new, incorporating your uniqueness, individuality into new partnerships with others. Before that happens though, the Sun squares Pluto this weekend which means the death and rebirth process in some relationships starts before the peak in tension on the full moon. In fact this square means a forced transformation in some relationships. If they don't change for the positive then they might need to die off for good, and i promise you, the universe will see to it, that this will happen.

The Sun in Libra is asking for diplomacy and some gracefulness in the process. It's best if you let go of anger, resentment, jealousy, revenge, etc... anything between you and others that is negative energy will not be supported right now and will make the changes you need even more difficult. You might have to let some pride and ego go but some power struggles are likely as the energy shifts. Be smart in your thinking and actions, not letting this grand-fire-trine get you carried away on impulse but don't totally fight your impulses either. You need others now, and others need you but the eclipse can bring some unexpected changes to your life and it's important not to fight this process, but rather - release and change with the energy. What was previously hidden can come up now, and your shadow might be reveled to yourself and others. What's been holding you back all this time? You might just find out with the two eclipses this month. Libra helps with more objectivity.

Right now the Moon which represents the universal emotional level and daily circumstances is in Aquarius sending positive energy to the Libra Sun and Venus, allowing for some detachment and good social opportunities, helping us think and feel more about others than just our self. The energy gets more intense late tonight into tomorrow as the Sun squares Pluto so expect some very dynamic social energy this weekend with likely changes. Then on Sunday the Moon enters Pisces and the mood turns a bit sensitive and dreamy. where Sunday night we might feel frustrations over current circumstances from the weekend. Tues the Moon enters Aries and starts the build up to the fully eclipsed moon in the early hours of Wednesday morning bringing the mood change to our own needs vs the needs of others. For people in the states, this full moon/eclipse will be connected to Tues night, not Wednesday night because it happens at 3:50 am PDT Wed morning Oct 8...

Every full moon is about finding more balance in our life especially for relationships but this eclipse will pack an extra punch - prepare yourselves for some surprises and major releases.  Also Mercury is going retro so this next month is a time for reevaluating important decisions with you and others so don't feel like you have to make any concrete decisions overnight unless the universe forces you to act suddenly but all will become more clear into Nov so try and keep the faith that all is as it should be and the timing will be perfect. On the other hand, don't be afraid to take the fire action i spoke about above just because Mercury is retro. It all depends on each individual and your own situation. Mercury retro could be connected to ideas with other people that have already come into your consciousness and after the changes this month you might just rethink your options again that you have dismissed this last few weeks. Stay open and flexible, graceful and diplomatic for best results, treating others with respect. it takes some maturity. Like i said, it's all very complex and dynamic but also very exciting.

Mercury into Scorpio Sep 27 2014

Mercury just temporarily changed signs from Libra to Scorpio  - at the same time is slowing down and will completely stop (from the earth's perspective) in the first few degrees of Scorpio on Oct 4 then slowly retrograde/forward in Libra until Nov 8 making many important aspects along the way. So i interpret this as a universal perception energy shift where in general there might be something we need to find out that's been on our mind, something uncertain, probably in regards to situations with other people or important relationships, and how everything is going to turn out.

with Mercury into the underworld of Scorpio the communication theme turns quiet and stealthy as people's thoughts go inward. Not everything will be said and a lot of people might be preoccupied with a mystery or important business, getting down to the bottom of it so later when Mercury retros back into Libra we will have the answers we need to make those important relationship decisions or making major adjustments in plans.

 Of course this is in general.

We can now easily read between the lines but careful with that as it will be easy for thoughts to turn deep and dark with the focus getting very narrowed as Mercury slows down in the depths of emotional intensity. Most people will be less concerned with causal social grace in conversation, more private with what we are thinking and if we do communicate it will be with more intensity and passion. You might notice this in the general media theme coming up as well.... its easy to obsess on something and or have fears run wild too. Jealously, suspicion, secretiveness, all this can easily happen when unaware, so just a heads up this next week or so... 

The positive side is being able to perceive what is unspoken and discover new truths by incorporating intuition with the logical mind; don't underestimate the power of calculated strategic thinking either if we are open to change how we have been perceiving some important thoughts and situations in our life making real noticeable progress with this process. If you find yourself starting to think on the negative side, check in with your thoughts and see if it feels right with your inner knowing by observing how it makes your body feel. Perhaps if it doesn't feel good it's bullshit; go deep and transform fears. 

This is all interconnected to the eclipses coming up too so all the information you need to make important decisions isn't here yet and some surprises are yet to come which could change everything...

Anyway, there is so much more to say but i'll let you all feel out the rest.. enjoy.

Libra New Moon 2014 - Equinox - Eclipse season

Hi folks, I have some #Astrology info for you. The Sun has entered Libra ushering in the Equinox and initiating a change of season, where right now days and nights are about equal in length. This is very powerful energy where change is taking place for the Earth and I think we can all start to feel that within as well. Not only that but we have a new lunar cycle starting for the next 28 days with the Libra New Moon exact tonight Sep 23 at 11:13 pm PDT - pretty much aligning with this year's Equinox making the energy of change and new beginnings extra potent for us right now for this lunar cycle. To top it off, it's also the start of Eclipse season for the next 6 weeks where our consciousness evolves on some level, particularly where your Libra sign is in your chart which has to do with partnership and other people.

All this change is asking us to find more balance in our life, in many different ways but especially with others. Libra is associated with the other' as relationships rule this sign so Libra needs the reflection of the other to clearly see the self so we can evolve and mature, especially for sun sign Librans but now we are all getting a chance to look into the reflection of others and see if there is better ways at making true meaningful deep connections with them that we have yet to discover probably because of being so wrapped up into our own self and problems.

This Moon cycle might give you the opportunity to evaluate how you do relationships and partnership. Are you fair and balanced in this area of your life or are the scales tipped heavy to one side? The Libra energy will make it easier for us all to find diplomacy bringing more objectivity. Libra has a gift at seeing more than one side of any situation and this will be useful when trying to understand others and where they are coming from. Libra is often associated with grace, music, art, photography, fine taste and a love for beauty so when it comes to our relationships we will want that peaceful and beautiful energy there as well.  

With all this powerful energy for new change this is a great time to set new relationship intentions and how you go about relating to other people in general. Are you always giving into others sacrificing your own needs or are you taking more for your self leaving others out in the cold?  You see what I mean? The possibilities in how you are self-sabotaging your relationships are endless, even if subtle.  I think it's safe to say none of us are perfect at relationships and we can all find better ways to  improve how we connect to other people, especially those important soul relationships we have in our life. It's time to honor the other and by doing that we honor our self which brings more peace and balance into our life.

How long have you been single? Are you ready for long term partnership again, sharing your life with a significant other? I know that can seem scary after a long past of hurt and pain but now is the season of change and hopefully you took that alone time to heal and grow yourself understanding what your soul really does need in partnership. Humans are not meant to be isolated and alone for too long so if you are single this next 6 weeks might just be an awakener for you as the Eclipse brings surprises to your consciousness. Perhaps you are ready but still holding on to the old? We have all made mistakes in the past but it might be time to try again. If so, open yourself up and put yourself out there more as the universe sends you opportunities. 

The same could be said about unhealthy relationships as well. How long do you plan on living in a loveless partnership or not getting all your needs met? Forever? That would suck. Your soul will weaken living like that so perhaps a resolution can be found for those relationships as well. I truly feel it's time for us all to honor the people in our life that have been there and loyal to us and if they are a partner it's time for deep sacred union showing self and the other great respect so something long term can blossom between you two. If your partner can't meet you on that level, then maybe it's time for a change. The universe is on your side, if you are willing to make the needed changes in how you relate and connect to other people, you just might experience other people relating to you with more harmony as well. A big part of that is improving what we can about our self but also accepting what is authentic about our self and honoring that; accepting the authentic self in others as well, not asking them to change something they can't. It's complicated but this Libra energy will help us find the balance.

The scales theme is not just isolated to you and other people but anywhere in your life that feels out of balance - within or without and how you go about relating to almost anything on any level. It's the season of balance so adding or taking away from whatever in your life that is lopsided will bring more harmony and greatly improve your situation if you put conscious effort into it.  

Now the other big thing happening is Pluto Is now moving forward again after moving backwards (retrograde)  for months. Transit Pluto is symbolic of power and transformation. Because Pluto has been retrograde for so long this energy shift forward is very powerful adding to these big energies of change this cycle. Pluto was transforming us all on deep inner levels that might have been subtle but now as it slowly moves forward that transformation will come to our outer life as well over the next several months. This means another round of real change is soon on the way in the world and in our personal life. Pluto is restructuring your life and support systems particularly where you have Capricorn in your birth chart. It's a very slow process but should start to see more external changes soon. It's best to let go and allow these needed changes to comes even if they seem harsh in the moment and because Pluto went forward right with this New Moon a lot of these changes could be about relationships too. Try and let go of control when you feel the need arise, letting it all play out on its own. See how that works this time. Just stop fighting what is, and go with it. I promise you'll save energy and feel better but i won't lie, you have to have faith that things are working out for your best interest in the long term.

So that's about it but I can't understate the immense power of this energy coming in right now and if you work with it you can really make some big changes in your life. The universe will support you in that process this cycle. Harness the power of change and make it work for you! Find more balance and bring peace into your life.

 The first total lunar Eclipse of the season will be on Oct 8 with the full moon! It's going to be so powerful and full of emotional surprises that brings your consciousness to new levels of understanding! It's sure to be exciting!

So as always if you want to know where all this takes place in your own astrology send me an email and we can talk about reading options. Also feel free to leave comments and questions below.

Thank you.
Enjoy the change.

Mars enters Sagittarius

Major energy shift today - Mars leaves Scorpio and enters Sagittarius at 2:57 pm Pacific time. #Astrology 

This should be a nice energy change for a lot of people especially if you've been weighed down by heavy intense Scorpio energy the last few weeks. Transit Mars represents the universal action theme; where we feel passionate and driven.  Mars likes the deep emotional waters of Scorpio for the pure passion and determination of the sign but i think the Mars energy will treat us all a little better once in Sagittarius and things should get lighter and more exciting.

Sagittarius is a Fire sign and Mars is of the Fire element as well so this means double Fire coming with Sagittarius being the archer and Mars the thrust; i suggest you aim your arrows high...
Sagittarius is the sign of the philosopher, rising from the animalistic realms of human nature and instinct into the higher realms of spirit and the big picture. Combine this with action Mars and we should all start to look up rather than down,  recognizing long term opportunities for our future. Mars in Sag can have us feeling like a need to take more action in our life, even some risk or else we face the possibility of extreme restlessness for something new. The fire element is about creation and Mars into Sag might give us the feeling that we need something more than the same ol same ol extending self past comfort zones and do something new, bold and adventurous. General excitement and physical energy increases. The less spiritual folks might find the need for sports and thrills; adventure, gambling and seeking something beyond the everyday bore that gives outlet to the fire running through our veins. Spiritual folks might feel all that as well might can easily channel this fire energy into spiritual pursuits, and the higher mind of spiritual philosophy, exploring new ideas that might capture your imagination. You would also do well to work with the fire within your own body. Mars is the energy of sex, so taking that passion to spiritual realms with your partner can enliven you both and satisfy the desires for something above and beyond that will build over the next 6 weeks. So aim high, you never know what you might hit...

With Mars in Sagittarius we can feel like the grass is greener some place else but rarely is. However a little adventure might just be what the doctor ordered to rid yourself of those blues. Traveling to far away places both literally and intellectually speaking would be good, or just traveling and road trips in general. Getting out in nature and feeling alive, doing something new and exciting could keep the fire at bay. But just because you feel like risk doesn't mean the dangers are any less real so try and stay grounded a bit as well if at all possible and take calculated risks. Instincts will be sharp and on point so follow them and see where the adventure takes you in any area of your life you choose to direct this new energy in. Look at your birth chart and find Sagittarius, that will be the area of your life Mars will transit and activate the need for more action, excitement and adventure. The house of your Sagittarius will indeed be the area of your life you should take some risk in, and explore new possibilities. If you need some help figuring that in your chart, let me know.

In general, more of the big picture comes into view; enthusiasm, faith and physical energy increases so finding a physical outlet is wise so you don't get too restless. Just try not to be reckless and channel this energy into something productive, exciting and adventurous. Take big actions, surprise others, go above and beyond in whatever you are passionate about right now and follow your instincts so you'll be right in alignment with the universal Mars energy!  I'm going to keep this short and sweet. Leave questions and comments below, thanks!

Enjoy
