Since I did a lot of typing this week completing the 1960s outer planet series, I am only writing a short post for today.  What if each of the planetary transits had a universal message for us? Well, here is what is popping into my consciousness. Sun in Sagittarius--Stop fretting about the past, stop worrying about the future, and use your inner enthusiasm to make a difference on the planet.  Take a look at what you consider ideal for life on the planet then work constructively towards reaching that mission. Since the Moon changes signs every 2 days, we're skipping the Moon. Mercury in Scorpio, refrain from taking words at face value and probe beneath the surface.  What does your inner wisdom (I'm picturing an owl) say to you now? Do you trust what others tell you? Use discernment and trust your gut. Venus in Capricorn--Plain and simple, take care of your body and give it the love and attention it deserves. Adoring and loving your body does not make you a narcissist,

Wikipedia Whew! That was a lot of work putting this series together.  Even if you weren't born in the 1960s, you know people who were so give my series a read. See the blue tabs at the top of the blog and go from there. You will find information about Chiron's 1960s transits under the 1968 and 1969 tab. Thank you. Also check out this fun video on the 1960s.  Boy, this guy talks fast! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lkXFb1sMa38

I wondered what I would write about this week for this blog and then Neptune popped into my mind.  When it comes to the outer planets, Uranus, Pluto, and Saturn (which is actually a transpersonal planet) grab the most attention, while Neptune just hovers in the distance dissolving what he touches.  Perhaps, the planet suffers from the same visibility issues as it's Zodiac sign, Pisces.  And something fishy is going on. Neptune dissolves the structures it touches which then disappears into the midst of time and people with heavy Neptune influence in their natal charts have the most challenging time staying in the here and now; staying grounded with both of their feet firmly in reality or what we call reality in this time-space dimension.  When Neptune conjuncts a Natal Sun it spiritualizes that Sun in a strange sort of marriage.  People born with their Sun in Pisces are going to feel this dissolution occurring some time in the next 11 years if they haven't already experience

Mars, Wikipedia We are only at the halfway point of November and already my thoughts are drawn to the upcoming December transits because once again, we will be visited by the Cardinal energy with most of the planets in Capricorn, Aries, Libra and Cancer by the second half of December.  We have already experienced the long-going dance (does this ball ever end?) with Uranus in Aries squaring Pluto in Capricorn and while we are not currently dealing with an exact square, the orb is close enough to shake up events in the world and in our personal lives depending on where this transit hits in our charts and the natal planets within orb of this dynamic square. On December 8, Mars moves into Libra (the weakest location for Mars since Libra is opposite Mar's sign Aries) and due to a retrograde, Mars will complete its transit in Libra in July of 2014 (I will get to this in a future post and for now we will just deal with December's transits).  Venus is already in Capricorn at the

Neptune, Wikipedia Since I mention mostly challenging transits here, I thought I would mention a bright spot, with the Mercury and Neptune transits starting today, November 9 and ending on November 19, with a 5 degree orb.  Transiting Mercury in Scorpio (which goes Direct on November 10) and Transiting Neptune in Pisces (which goes Direct on November 13) form a Trine, which means it's not only time to dream big, but to communicate our dreams.  The trine is exact at 2 degrees until November 14, but the lingering effects of the separation until the 19th or 20th of the month are still in effect. Since both planets begin this Trine while they are retrograde, we will incubate our dreams a bit longer and feel shy about setting them loose in the world or announcing our intentions.  However, after both planets are direct on November 13, it is time to announce those dreams and put a plan into action.  With Mercury in Scorpio, we had ample time to research the material to put a plan in

Wikipedia (The calm before the roar) We've been hearing about the Divine Feminine for decades now and some of us are asking, "Well, when is she going to arrive?" And our attention has mainly been placed on the outer planets which all have male gods and male energy attached to them, such as big government, economic trends, big banks, corporations, etc...And I guess if we want to give any of the outer planets a female facelift, we could go with Neptune which is a higher octave of Venus and ruled by the feminine sign Pisces. Then when we gaze at the personal planets (Sun, Moon, Mars, Venus and Mercury) only two of those planets or orbs are considered feminine, the Moon and Venus so then we could be thankful for a cluster of female asteroids.  So if you would like to take a break from Uranus, Pluto and Saturn, or at least a little breather then take a journey with me through Venus transits after she enters Capricorn on November 5.  Suffice to say, 2013 has been a powerf

In April of 2012 when astrology found me again through a Bellingham-based astrologer, I had no idea I would be spending my days discussing and teaching about the conversations between planets.  However, here I am a year and a half later sputtering on about the outer planets.  I guess it's not a coincidence that Pluto, Neptune and Uranus found me in 2012 because I feel strongly that a Great Awakening is occurring on the planet and my heart's desire is to get as many people on board as possible. I'm also a likely candidate to discuss Saturn in Scorpio and Pluto in Capricorn since I have Capricorn as my Ascendent and Saturn as the Ruler of my Natal Chart.  I also understand Saturn's lessons because I am a teacher too, but not always a sage like Old Man Saturn.  I play the role of the fool more often than not and I supply a sense of humor to this blog to bring comfort to readers, who I understand wouldn't be here if there wasn't some type of quest involved.
