Channeled Message Is there no rest for the weary? Last night, information about Mars in Scorpio poured through me and I did not want to crawl out of bed to type the message. Since Mars rules the ego, our masculine side, our drive, our need for competition, and our defenses and is now in its classic sign Scorpio, we are dealing with deep core issues. When Mars is RX it asks us to reexamine how we show up in the world, how we treat ourselves, and how we treat others. And all that in reverse too-how others treat us. If we act from our ego, we can bet that we have not dealt with wounds on a psychic, emotional, or psychological level that we sustained from zero to two years old. Consequently, we might have experienced that wounding in the womb too, physically or emotionally. Fetuses are highly susceptible to events occurring outside of the womb. This is why it is important for a pregnant woman not to expose herself to harsh situations or people, and that does include violent music

Since Capricorn rules builders and building, when with sign culminates into a Full Moon as it does every June or July, we ask ourselves what we have built in the past year. For some of us, we built a relationship on solid ground, and for others it's a career, and yet, for others, it's a actual house. Full Moons represent a time of completion and a Capricorn Moon focuses upon our life structures, societal structures, and structures built on the foundations our forebears set for us. Think of Taurus as the gatherer of building materials and finding the right spot of earth to build. Then Capricorn comes along and does the actual building structure, followed by Virgo who inspects and analyzes the structure. By the time the structure reaches the Virgo stage (late August and first three weeks of September), we know whether we're standing on solid ground or quicksand. People with strong Capricorn or Saturn in their chart are master builders. They understand that without struc

As we enter the next ascension phase, which has actually been occurring throughout 2016 with the mutable transits, the Cancer New Moon reminds us to nourish ourselves--mind, body, and soul. As we go through the ascension process (it is a long process that doesn't occur overnight but in stages), our bodies require more rest, more healthy food, plenty of pure water, and exercise. Some of you will leave your current employment to embark on your true life path. Some of you will leave your current partners so you can experience deeper intimacy with soul mates. Some of you will relocate to a new town or country. But please make the transition with mindfulness paying attention to the feelings of others involved. Leave all situations with love, peace, and compassion. If you leave in a haste, you will create a karmic burden for yourself. And this is what we are trying to ascend. Follow the soul and not the desires of ego. This transition leads to your ascension so clean up messes, balan

As Mars retrogrades in Scorpio until June 29 when the planet goes direct, we can all expect to delve deeply into our subconscious minds. Each of us will visit or revisit particular themes depending on the particular house highlighted--the one that Mars in Scorpio transits. For more information about how this powerful transit affects you personally, take a look at your Natal Chart where Scorpio is on the cusps.  If you need a refresher of themes from that house (or some case houses), take a look at my astrological cheat sheet. If you don't already have a Natal Chart, you can get free charts online but you'll need to have your correct birth time. I use Astro.com You do need to join the site I mentioned in order to access free charts. Okay, so let's get started. This post is not intended as medical or psychological healing. See medical professionals if you find that the themes in this article are playing out in your life. * Please note that this particular Mars transi

by Patricia Herlevi, Atlantic Ocean, Cape Cod Update and corrected10-26-16 As a Cancerian, I feel that I can speak on behalf of Cancer Moon, Cancer Rising and Cancer Sun natives.  When I use the word "native" I'm referring to people born under that sign's influences.  Perhaps not as mysterious as Scorpio, Cancer still baffles the natives of this sign and people who know people with Cancer Moon, Cancer Sun or Cancer Rising.  So I'm going to bring clarity and understanding because more than anything Cancer native need to be understood, heard, and comforted, even if they act otherwise. Here's the thing, Cancers live in a protective shell which makes them hard and crusty, perhaps cold (to some people) on the outside, but that's only because Cancer is a water sign and these signs act as poster children for sensitivities and vulnerabilities.  Cancer men especially hide behind a gruffness because they fear what would happen if they showed their softer s

For some reason the Full Moon in Sagittarius on June 20 reminds me of a chase scene in a cartoon where one character points in the opposite direction and says, "He went that way." This full moon is tricky and troublesome because it rides up to the next exact Saturn Neptune Square which begins on June 28 and the on-going Mutable T-Cross for 2016 lends itself to purple haze, or is that rainbow haze? Part of the problem is that the Full Moon occurs when Mercury in Gemini falls into a Grand Mutable Square with Neptune (1 degree orb) in Pisces, Jupiter conjunct North Node (4 degree orb) and opposes Saturn exact in Sagittarius. While the Grand Earth Trine was saw at the beginning of June has dissolved with Mercury moving into Gemini, Jupiter still trines Pluto which gives us the power of manifestation. The problem is with all this energy flying in our face, we have no idea what we desire to manifest. The dreams that sufficed prior to 2016 no longer appeal to us. We want to ex
