In Practice--Birthing a Business

Image
The more we shift our consciousness on the planet, the more shifts take place in our lives, including shifting from one profession to the next.  For instance, I worked as a journalist prior to leaping into astrology and metaphysics. And this week the energies are asking all of us to follow our heart in all areas of our lives, including career. Some of you will change careers in the world of 9-to-5 jobs while some of you will become entrepreneurs, even if you haven't ever considered going it on your own in your past. Some of you will partner with spouses or friends in starting  business, while others will go solo entrepreneur like I'm doing here. For those of you launching a business in the near future, let me give you tips in finding an auspicious date for an official launch whether that's with a home-based business or opening a brick and mortar or office location. First, let's look at the Moon. As you know from previous astrological information, you don't w

Solar Return for the Neptune Girl Wearing Spaceboots

Image
Wikipedia Since I post charts of well-known people and historical figures on Whole Astrology and since I spend time reading charts of clients, I think it's only fair to post my chart. I decided to post my Solar Return chart for June 29, 2015. So in other words, I'm giving up some of my privacy to share my chart with others. It's to thank my clients for sharing their vulnerability with me. I also add that I'm currently going through my Chiron Return and challenging Neptune transits which is why I'm pleased to see the Grand Fire Trine involving a SR Sagittarius Moon. You see I don't have any Fire in my birth chart so this is going to help me with getting my work out in the world. With the dominant Neptune/Pisces in my chart as well as, my Sun and Mercury in Cancer, I have suffered through the role as the invisible woman. The Grand Fire Trine will change that, at least for the next 12 months. My last Solar Return Moon was in Leo which helped a bit. The Ju

Pediatric Astrology--A Tool for Understanding Your Child

Image
Photo by Patricia Herlevi Is your child wired differently than you? Many parents have commented to me about their children's unusual gifts, behavior or wisdom coming from their small bodies. This is no accident nor is it synchronicity. Old Souls are returning to the planet in large numbers, awakening our mass consciousness, and paving the way for the New Earth. And since, droves of Indigo, Rainbow, and Crystal Children arrive on the earth now, it's time to get to know your child on a deeper level. So how can Pediatric Astrology help you in understanding your child? What type of education, food, activities, and lifestyles work best for your unique child? What type of health problems can you expect from these sensitive children? Why are so many children coming in the world with "learning disabilities" which suggests that their brains are wired differently than ours? As parents, you signed on to steward and protect these children as they prepare for thei

The Practice--Is He (She) Compatible with Me? (Exploring Relationship Charts)

Image
Image found on Wikipedia One of the biggest question with both spiritually-based and practical astrology revolves around compatibility in a relationship. I admit that with most men I dated in the past, at some point I visited an astrologer to have a synastry chart reading (also known as a relationship chart). It asks what's the chemistry between the couple. However, the best time to have a synastry chart session is after a few dates when the relationship starts turning serious. Don't wait until you have moved into together. And don't wait until a week before the wedding. I wonder if the Royal Family ever had a synastry chart done for Prince Charles and Princess Diana and if they did, why did they ignore the red flags which we won't get into here? For the sake of this short post, I'll give two sample synastry charts. The first one is for Prince Charles and Princess Diana, also known as The Wales and then a synastry chart for Camilla and Prince Charles. I won&

Happy Solstice--Sun Moves into Cancer

Here is the Cancer post I wrote last year which describes Cancerians and Cancer themes. http://wholeastrology.blogspot.com/2014/01/reflecting-on-zodiac-cancer-what-goes.html

Summer (Winter in the Southern Hemisphere) Solstice--Soaring Kite

Image
First thing you'll notice for the chart for the Summer Solstice is a Kite configuration as well as some green lines which represent inconjunctions between the planets which read as yield signs. It's as if we would like to take off and soar in the clouds but we have all those little irritations to contend with first. But for us in the Northern Hemisphere, it's summer so we're going to get outside and have fun and maybe in having fun with family and friends, we're able to raise our frequency so we can deal with those mundane problems. I like the sextile that happens between the Virgo Moon and Cancer both at 0 degrees that occurs 30 minutes after the official Solstice. We take better care of our health and the health of others through nurturing Cancer energies and Virgo's need to serve. In fact, we'll be meticulous about our health on June 21st and most likely fussy about other people's health, but let's not get fearful about food, the sun's r

New Moon Forecast for July--Miraculous Water Trine & Other Stories

Image
Photo by Patricia Herlevi Right now, I envision the late Masaru Emoto's beautiful water crystals. I'm thinking that we are all at least 70% water and a conduit of not only our thoughts and emotions, but also the music we hear, the words we speak, and the world of vibrations we expose ourselves to.  July's New Moon at 23 degrees Cancer forms a Grand Water Trine with Saturn in Scorpio and Chiron in Pisces. In viewing the New Moon chart for July 15 using Seattle's coordinates, we not only see a Grand Water Trine as mentioned earlier, but we can also pull in Mars and Mercury in mid degrees of Cancer since they fall in the same house (8th House) thus forming a stellium. So let's break this apart to see how each planet and energy creates a dynamic for transformation through self-nurturing (Cancer). Now, as I'm writing this post, it is no accident that I'm delving into the work of Louise Hay mostly known for healing the mind-body-spirit

1st Full Moon for July 2015--Bookend Full Moons

Image
Realizing that we're still at the beginning of June, I'm giving you heads up on the two full moons for July. I'm calling them bookend moons even though they're wildly different. On July 1, we experience the Capricorn Full Moon which carries the themes of status quo, business, building structure, traditions, and lineages. The Aquarius Full Moon on July 31 rebels against status quo while dismantling old structure. Will be interesting. I'll write about the July 31 Full Moon in a separate post. Another interesting aspect of the Capricorn Full Moon (9Cap55) on July 1 is the Fire Trine involving the moon that occurs earlier in the day involving Moon in Sagittarius with Uranus in Aries and Jupiter/Venus in Leo.We get this beautiful opportunity to manifest our desires riding into the Capricorn Full Moon. However, we must remember that the Capricorn Moon conjuncts Pluto, opposes the Sun/Mars and squares Uranus during the course of the full moon. This tells me

Gemini--The Sign of the Twins and Choices

Image
Photo by Patricia Herlevi Often when I think of the Zodiac Sign Gemini, I envision The Lovers tarot card. It's not because Geminis are terribly good lovers, but that they have a love for discovering new information and a curiosity for the world around them. Many Geminis are often good poets too since playing with words comes naturally to them--but I wouldn't go as far as to call Geminis troubadours. I leave that to the Fire and Water signs. Gemini represents a two-sided coin, a fork in the road (do you turn left or right), and similar to the Zodiac sign Libra, Geminis perform a type of balancing act, though it looks more like juggling. Gemini also shares traits with the sign Pisces in that Gemini also moves in two directions and as I mentioned earlier (and so have other astrologers such as Mark Husson with Hay House), has two personalities. This reminds me of a gingerbread man stuffed toy I had as a child--one side was bright yellow featuring a happy face and the other si

Venus Transits from June through August--Dang girl, look at you!

Image
Wikipedia The plan was that I was going to take a stroll through the park, come home and have a nice restful evening, but then I picked up my planetary guide and saw the Venus transits for the summer/winter months. So here I am writing another Whole Astrology post. I suppose Aphrodite seduced my mind into writing about her planet. In June, Venus begins the month at 25 degrees Cancer with a wide square to Uranus. This brief transit suggests unconventional women or Aquarius women in particular who feel a bit more emotional than usual. We could also focus on food security from a humanitarian or unconventional standpoint by combining Cancer, Aquarius, and Venus themes. On June 5, Venus moves into Leo, forms a sextile with Mercury in Gemini and trines Saturn in Sagittarius. This transit suggests that we will discuss our values and expand upon those values and how they align or don't align with our integrity. This is actually a theme I picked up from the July moon transits so we&

The Summer/Winter Transits (Riding the Waves)

Image
Photo by Patricia Herlevi I was actually hoping for an uneventful summer (or winter if you're residing in the Southern Hemisphere), since we've experienced one powerful outer planet transit or eclipse after another for not just the past few months, but years. However, we're required to stay alert as arrows of change and movement head our way, at least for those of you with Mutable Sun, Moon, Ascendant and so on.  This includes me with six Mutable planets plus Chiron, with five of those planets locked into a Mutable T-Cross. Believe me, I started experiencing some real challenges in May that has left me blurry-eyed and disoriented on most days. The Mercury-Neptune square has nearly wiped me out and that square continues until June 23. Now, the Fix Signs (Taurus, Scorpio, Leo, and Aquarius), get a break with the exception of Saturn moving back into Scorpio on the 15th of June and then moving back into Sagittarius on September 18. Leos especially would do best to take
