As I write this post, I'm a month away from the New Moon at 28 degrees Aries on April 18.  Part of me, if not all of me, wishes to jump ahead past the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Libra and all that muck with Uranus and Pluto. Yet, we can't enjoy the rainbow without weathering the storm.  Besides, all that tension gives us astrologers something to sink our teeth into. All the New Moons thus far in 2015 have ended cycles and the New Moon at 28 degrees Aries follows this pattern. Although this New Moon falls in a fiery Cardinal Sign, my sense on it brings up the words relaxation and rejuvenation, mainly because this is the first New Moon after the eclipses of March and April and it moves into grounded Taurus a few hours later. So what does it mean to end a cycle in Aries? If we're not careful Aries energy can burn us out quickly especially if we charge into situations or run with the mantra, "Go, go, go!"  With Aries we want to

After March's Uranus-Pluto Square, the Cardinal Signs won't enjoy another major event involving Libra, Aries and Capricorn.  But on April 4, we experience a Lunar Eclipse at 14 degrees Libra, forming a Cardinal T-Square with Uranus-Sun and Pluto.  Meanwhile, Jupiter at 12 degrees Leo trines Uranus-Sun, sextiles the Libra Moon and forms an inconjunct with Pluto. All of this carries the theme of transformation. Also see the Aries Lunar Eclipse for September 2015 Those of you with Cardinal Sign planets between 12 and 16 degrees will experience a life-changing event whether that appears on the global canvas or in your personal life.  If we look at the chart for the Lunar Eclipse, we also see a loose Grand Fire Trine involving Saturn, Jupiter, and Uranus with the Sun.  We're all going to experience  a surge of energy which in itself isn't a bad thing if we have an outlet to direct that energy. Imagine electricity with no place to go and the spark

Wikipedia  For the first week of April, some of us lick our wounds from experiences brought on by the exact Uranus-Pluto Square and Solar Eclipse in March.  While others, integrate changes into their transformed lives.  While it's unhealthy to judge others along their paths, assess where you have landed after the perfect storm, ground yourself and move forward knowing all changes are for the better.  Share your wisdom with those only now embarking on their life path. We launch April with a Lunar Eclipse (April 4), at 14 degrees Libra.  The degree of the Aries Sun conjunct Uranus and the Moon in Libra square Pluto bringing us another Cardinal T-Cross. Mercury also transits at 8 degrees Aries which means that people speak before they think and often using sharp words.  While it's beneficial to assert oneself in a conversation or in other circumstances, let's try not to dominate or control others.  This is a time of impulsive and spontaneous acts, even foolish acts since

Found on Wikipedia  The only time I hear people talking about the planet Mercury is when it's about to go retrograde or is already doing the backwards dance. Yet, Mercury represents our learning, thinking and communication styles.  A conflict of communication styles could even break up a relationship, but not if we get a handle on other people's communication strengths and weaknesses.  Besides, why would someone with Mercury in chatty Gemini hook up with the one-word wonder Mercury in Taurus? Also consider that Mercury rules the Third House so planets in the Third House also take on the Mercury (Gemini) flavor. Mercury moves quickly through the Zodiac Wheel often spending less than a month in a sign and I've even seen some months where Mercury flips through signs like a card dealer.  I've seen months where Mercury zipped through Pisces, Aries and moved into Taurus.  We don't call the planet Quicksilver for nothing. And if you think experiencing Mercury Retro

Wikipedia  I experiment with various themes and activities with the Moon as it transits through the Zodiac Signs and through the waxing/waning cycles.  During the last waning Libra Moon (day after the Virgo Full Moon), I decided to get my haircut and because the Moon was in Libra (Venus) I ended up with the best haircut I had a in a long while.  When we match specific activities to the right Moon, we get the best results. Here's how it works. First, let's look at the cycles of the Moon, including Eclipses and void-of-course Moons.  We can get a bit superstitious around Moon transits, but I have found validity in working with the Moon cycles.  When I first heard of void-of-course Moons decades ago, I worried about job interviews going array or first dates not working out if the Moon was void-of-course during those times.  However, not all void-of-course Moons are equal since I've read that the void-of-course Moons in Taurus, Cancer and Pisces bode we

There are four things you must know about the New Moon at Pisces 29 degrees on March 20.  First, the Moon ends a cycle at 29 degrees.  Second, the Moon quickly transits into Aries along with the Sun ushering in the Vernal Equinox.  Third this marks the third Super Moon of 2015 and finally, this Moon ushers in the first Solar Eclipse of the year.  And all this plays over a backdrop of the final exact square between Uranus and Pluto which ends on March 28. To understand this New Moon, let’s explore the Sign Pisces, known as the fish swimming in two directions.  Pisces is a Mutable Water Sign with the planetary ruler Neptune.  Though in traditional astrology, Jupiter ruled the Sign of the Fish.  Pisces are psychic, usually spiritual, creative, shy, whimsical and enchanting.  They often have large watery eyes, especially the Pisces Ascendant and Moon.  You can find many Pisceans in the world of dance, music, movie making and photography, but also in science, and alternative healing

I thought I was going to take the weekend off from writing about the planets, but no.  After watching Kelley Rosano's March forecasts for Pisces and Cancer, that pesky Cardinal Square on March 11 has been scratching my brain.  Since we already have experience with Cardinal T-Crosses involving Uranus and Pluto and Mars when it was in Cancer and Libra, this square with Mars conjuncting Uranus squaring Pluto suggests the end of a story. I received an additional message about this transit and that is Mars acts as a messenger and brings us the courage and energy required to undergo the final leg of the Uranus-Pluto Square transformation.  While it's true that Mars can bring rash or impulsive energies that revolve around destruction, I think that Mars also musters our courage and pioneering spirit to brave the unknown future.  Mars also ushers in new beginnings, while opening our hearts to our childlike innocence.  Mars will push us over the ledge so that we take a leap of faith
