Whole Astrology

Each of us is unique based on our first breath as we entered the world. Knowing our true birth time is crucial for finding our soul imprint. In Babylonia, astrologers sent an observer into the room when aristocracy was born so that the correct birth time was recorded. In this ancient kingdom, the Rising Sign was considered more important than a Sun Sign. It determined the fate of an individual--whether or not he would become king. While we don't live in kingdoms any longer, many of us believe that we came to the planet with a mission. And I believe that the mission is found in our triplicity which includes the correct Rising Sign. We also require an accurate birth time so that we have the correct degree for our Moon which can change signs during a day and make aspects with other planets in the Natal Chart. And yet, we don't live in the ancient world where astrologers were respected as scientists and seers. Our hospitals are chaotic at best and unless we have a nurse with

Some of us were born with a sextile between Neptune and Pluto. If we work with whole sign astrology (I don't), then Neptune was in flowing aspect with Pluto in the 1950s when Neptune was in Libra and Pluto was in Leo. Then again, in the 1960s, when Neptune was in Scorpio and Pluto was in Virgo. Then in the 1970s, when Neptune was in Sagittarius and Pluto was in Libra...And how we have a tight sextile with Neptune in Pisces and Pluto in Capricorn. So, you ask, what is the problem if these outer planets are in flowing aspect to each other? And yes, it would be worse if these planets entangled in a square or an opposition. The problem is that Neptune is doubly strong in Pisces and Pluto in Capricorn is transforming how we view and engage with the material world. When Neptune was still in Aquarius and Pluto was in Sagittarius, the new age teachers and promoters gobbed onto this idea that we create our own reality. And with Pluto in the happy-go-lucky Zodiac Sign Sagittarius, this i

Please refer to the Solar Eclipse post for overall details. I'm including the messages for each of the Zodiac Signs here. Aries: You might want to sit this one out. It's not that the eclipse in a fellow Fire Sign is detrimental since you benefit from a beautiful Fire Grand Trine that gets you motivated to show up as a leader. It's that any impulsive move on your part now could have you stepping on other people's toes which lead to heated situations. Perhaps, the solution is to temper your attitude and behaviors. Tread with caution, Aries and you'll get ahead. Taurus: Your ego is going to ask you to get involved with hedonistic behaviors. But I would rather see you getting in touch with your heart and reaching out to others. Perhaps, you get involved with a community garden or start one. If you break bread remember to share it with others, even a neighbor going through a rough patch. Rewards come in the way of good feelings all around. Gemini:

Although I pulled up a chart for the Aquarius Lunar Eclipse, I'm going to channel this post. The reason why I'm seeing a portal opening up around the time of this eclipse is that this eclipse begins at 11:11 a.m. in my part of the world. And this master number represents a portal or doorway opening. Since this eclipse falls in the Fixed Air Sign Aquarius, and since we are on the edge of the Aquarius Age, we are opening to new understanding. Now, the Lunar Eclipse chart contains a yod (although a strange one in that it does not conform to a yod structure), a Cardinal T-Cross which brings in Ceres conjunct Venus (Divine Feminine) in Cancer opposing Pluto (I completed a fantasy novel with this theme) and squaring Jupiter in Libra (the Zodiac Sign associated with Venus). The chart also contains a Mystical Rectangle in Water and Earth Elements. Venus/Ceres, Pluto, Mercury/Vesta and Neptune all figure into this rectangle. So, the soup thickens as the new energy topples the old gu

On July 23, we experience the first Leo New Moon for 2017. Then on August 21, we experience a Solar Eclipse in Leo. So what can each of the Zodiac Signs expect for the July Leo New Moon? The first Leo Moon is tamer than the second one. So, we won't be hearing the lion roar this time. Aries: You have loads of energy and you brim over with enthusiasm. Make sure you challenge this energy constructively. Even though Saturn in Sagittarius is blessing you, it's still Saturn we're talking about. This means that you require a step-by-step plan in manifesting your dreams. Yes, you do have to show up and do the work. However, you have the vitality to get the job done. Taurus: I feel a big yawn coming from you as you roll over on your hammock. You just want your day in the sun and you don't want to deal with anyone's problems. The downside of this approach is that you forget to show up and do your service in the world. People find you selfish and will cut you off. Not
