Aquarius New Moon for January 27/28, 2017--Crow of the Rooster

Image
In 2017, the Chinese New Year begins earlier than usual. I guess we can expect the Year of the Rooster (not that I know much about Chinese Astrology) to push us forward.  I remember a Year of the Rooster back in the 1990s where my friends and I joked, "If you snooze, you lose." And I have a feeling that this saying also goes for the Year of the Rooster in 2017.  This is because we hail in this New Year during the Aquarius New Moon that falls on January 27, at least in my part of the world. Now, let's first look at the Sign Aquarius before breaking down the transits in the Moon Chart. As many of you know, Aquarius is the sign of the rebel and revolutions. It's the sign for innovations and looking towards a future that resembles the modern French ideals of liberty, equality, and fraternity (which we'll change to "humanity"). And 2017 marks a time of people shouting for justice. It also marks a year of many surprises coming to us out of left field.

Cancer Full Moon on January 12, 2017--Welcome to the Cardinal Bash

At first, I thought the transits for 2017 were rather calm until I saw the chart for the Cancer Full Moon on January 12. Just two weeks into the new year and the transiting moon and sun form a Grand Square with Pluto, Jupiter, and Uranus. Actually, there are a lot of transits going on that day that tests our values and our strength.  Cancer, Capricorn, Libra, and Aries, haven't we had enough of all this bombastic energy? So, here is the setup. The Cancer Moon opposes the Capricorn Sun and Pluto, squares Jupiter in Libra, and Uranus/Ceres in Aries. Meanwhile, Mercury (now moving direct, but wobbly) hooks up with Saturn in Sagittarius and those two planets square Mars conjunct Chiron (as if Mars conjunct Chiron isn't painful enough). And we have a Pisces Stellium with Venus conjunct Neptune and Mars conjunct Chiron. So, you ask, are there any flowing aspects to this chart? The Sun/Pluto sextile Mars/Chiron so that brings some grounding through meditation that is transform

Whole Astrology 2017 Earth Sign Forecast (Capricorn, Taurus and Virgo)

This is the fourth and final installment of my astrology forecasts for 2017. And now my gaze turns to the Earth Signs--Capricorn, Taurus, and Virgo. While I don't see much happening for Taurus or Virgo, Capricorn has a powerful year in store, that is my mountain goat if you choose to embrace your personal power. Don't look for power in the outer world or as gained from other people. I'm talking about inner power which moves mountains. Are you up for it? The biggest event for Earth Signs in 2017 happens on December 21 when Saturn moves out of Sagittarius into Capricorn. In October, Jupiter stops squaring Pluto because the gaseous planet moves out of Libra into Scorpio. And the North Node moves out of Virgo (Earth Sign) into Leo (Fire Sign) on May 10. Mars, Venus, and Jupiter go to heads with Pluto and align with Uranus to bring on a Great Awakening. Capricorn: When we celebrate the New Year, the moon arrives in Aquarius. However, we're still feeling the ember

Water Signs, you are the closest to my heart because I have 6 planets in Water Signs in my Natal Chart. I understand you and the changes you have endured in recent years. I also understand how painful it is to have people stomp on your feelings, dismiss your dreams, and cause you to fear abandonment. Well, this year, you'll undergo even more transformation that will fortify you for a Grand Shift happening on the planet. Neptune and Chiron remain in Pisces. Jupiter will transit into Scorpio in October and Saturn will transit into the compatible sign Capricorn in December. That's something to look forward too, even for Cancer Sun and Rising Sign people. The North Node moves out of Virgo into Leo in May which will remind all of us to bolster our courage and speak from our hearts. We all matter. Pisces: The first two months of the year highlight Pisces. Mars and Venus join Neptune in your 1st House. We experience Venus RX in Aries/Pisces. Chiron remains in Pisces for ano
