He was born in 1867 and he died in 1959 leaving a legacy of buildings and contested opinions in his wake.</p><p>Frank was not a stranger to controversy and scandals nor was he a stranger to great tragedies. He rose like a phoenix out of the ashes several times during his lifetime. He survived the Great Depression and pivot his career after designing and building the house built over a water fall in southern Pennsylvania called Fallingwater.</p><p> </p><p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuJ9CKniGJiAdLi35TYIOvl6brgMubEzdLyDxNzAlVqK2ktJ6cju5g_VauvLkJPOU6V_PVTK0CkI1vkpXTkOwcMB_RweE3iehTcdQIhbUC0JWvVV9rZ3Zr9Aq5oOTJwcU7D7rowWYrZL7zkyybq2lZDZAqcWth0jdxs7yGq0vUPFF4j1BgZnq2BkvBZd4/s1102/astro_66gw_frank_lloyd_wright_pattylynne_herlevi_hp.51294.167882.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1102" data-original-width="748" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuJ9CKniGJiAdLi35TYIOvl6brgMubEzdLyDxNzAlVqK2ktJ6cju5g_VauvLkJPOU6V_PVTK0CkI1vkpXTkOwcMB_RweE3iehTcdQIhbUC0JWvVV9rZ3Zr9Aq5oOTJwcU7D7rowWYrZL7zkyybq2lZDZAqcWth0jdxs7yGq0vUPFF4j1BgZnq2BkvBZd4/w271-h400/astro_66gw_frank_lloyd_wright_pattylynne_herlevi_hp.51294.167882.png" width="271" /></a></div><p></p><p> </p><p>Frank Lloyd Wright was born on June 8, 1867, right after the American Civil War had ended. He was born in Richland Center, Wisconsin and he was raised in the Unitarian faith. His mother chose a career as an architect for Frank when he was a child. Like any good mother, she surrounded Frank with images of buildings and she encouraged this path for young Frank.</p><p>Frank attended college where he studied engineering. He dropped out of college and relocated to Chicago where he landed a job working for the master architect Louis Sullivan (who designed the first skyscraper in the US). </p><p>If you would like to learn more about Frank Lloyd Wright, you can find plenty of videos on YouTube and books at your library on the architect.</p><p><br /></p><p><b><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></b></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbovGST3wI1PELgOBl5dpfD8LHC6wqjRVDDyC7Mo3jCbJz6OcYwbTEDU9Wwyv2MdWfNIEBE8eYBJQTbYFHf7bRI3LxteLqyKXmGSyHuhEOatpVsnNVwM9Gs3yLAWmazrXOBqXYhq03TYOOkey40LkPs8ukKDREhxzxcQi1lh7TkWehdwWPSa0npfPC3xE/s220/220px-Frank_LLoyd_Wright_Studio_Chicago_Frontage.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="162" data-original-width="220" height="295" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbovGST3wI1PELgOBl5dpfD8LHC6wqjRVDDyC7Mo3jCbJz6OcYwbTEDU9Wwyv2MdWfNIEBE8eYBJQTbYFHf7bRI3LxteLqyKXmGSyHuhEOatpVsnNVwM9Gs3yLAWmazrXOBqXYhq03TYOOkey40LkPs8ukKDREhxzxcQi1lh7TkWehdwWPSa0npfPC3xE/w400-h295/220px-Frank_LLoyd_Wright_Studio_Chicago_Frontage.jpg" width="400" /></a></span></b></div><b><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />So, let's delve into the astrology that shaped Frank's life.</span></b><p></p><p>Frank was born with a Gemini Sun and a Virgo Moon and a Scorpio Ascendant. Both Gemini and Virgo are the rulers of the planet Mercury. Could we call Frank mercurial? Yes. He was not only good with words, he also chose sharp words when he thought were necessary in getting his point across. He was considered a genius and he seemed to have looked down on people he found less intelligent, mainly in the realm of city planners. </p><p>He harbored scathing opinions and his critics said he was arrogant. What they didn't realize was that Frank shared a different sense of humor than they did. Plus, the Scorpio Ascendant and the Mars in Leo near his Midheaven point, did not win him friends.If you had mentioned the merits of shopping malls and large parking lots, you would have experienced Frank's scathing opinions on both, as an example.<br /></p><p>However, the Scorpio Ascendant played roles in Frank's downfalls and his rising from the ashes of disasters (his home Taliesin East burned down twice and one time with his lover and family members). Frank also suffered from the scandal of an extramarital affair he had with a client's wife and then later he married a drug addict (which he divorced). He also rose out of the ashes in a magnificent way during the Great Depression. His third wife came up with the idea of Frank taking on apprentices (who paid him for the experience of learning from a master architect). One of the apprentices asked his father to hire Frank to design a vacation cottage for the family.</p><p> </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjST0KUvCRsa9roJwAns912mZ7NTkb82VY3jUCqO-G7m3FhUtYIiYW5TdDgMB3uOen5b2ND_ITRrfSWDrSc1qTtA4QaYGPDZTybYiXKlFuZ6qlDFi4opx6veBXTLhzpAh3afkgKFD8mCkXcEpB8AOgFq2ZePZJyql2djGzqeXCAJheL7-RNX-UfVBdC5dk/s331/Wrightfallingwater.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="331" data-original-width="220" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjST0KUvCRsa9roJwAns912mZ7NTkb82VY3jUCqO-G7m3FhUtYIiYW5TdDgMB3uOen5b2ND_ITRrfSWDrSc1qTtA4QaYGPDZTybYiXKlFuZ6qlDFi4opx6veBXTLhzpAh3afkgKFD8mCkXcEpB8AOgFq2ZePZJyql2djGzqeXCAJheL7-RNX-UfVBdC5dk/w266-h400/Wrightfallingwater.jpg" width="266" /></a></div><br /> <p></p><p>The setting was Bear Run, a rural community 70 miles south of Pittsburgh. The client was the founder of the Kauffman Department Store in Pittsburgh and the end result was the famous home called Fallingwater built on top of a waterfall. Not bad for an architect with a Scorpio Ascendant, his Jupiter in Pisces and his Uranus in Cancer.</p><p>The Virgo Moon and Gemini Sun played into perfectionism and also contained a message Frank chose to communicate about living in balance or sustainably on the planet. Frank and his colleagues were the first sustainable architects in the US that eventually influenced the "green" architects of this current era. He believed in building with local materials and creating structures that blended with the earth. What people don't realize about Frank was that he was deeply spiritual and he saw the natural world as his church (Jupiter in Pisces). He was also a practical dreamer because most of what he designed was built.</p><p>Frank might not also get credit for his compassionate side which hides behind the veneer of his Sun, Moon and Ascendant. Although most of his clients were wealthy industrialists (in the age of industry), he also built humble housing for the working class and some of his Usonian homes are still standing today although they don't carry humble price tags any longer since they are sought after homes.</p><p><b><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></b></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjl4_OxKbjnClVFQiSBz3Qu6MAZatuVIeRSqDXRsAhgXaoT9FwagHshS0C-CPttlAJtSSTdFX9jf4MXxsBSHoBGlKN1EO7D0c9Eqzz3yLtdJG9M1aVNgVt-MWy-WkC5QXHwLGPvyTMOHD6wYrUh9jlM32GQpBgF2Y6vvRPxqnRcQHycyR1JjDntCTkIJM/s220/220px-Taliesin600.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="140" data-original-width="220" height="255" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjl4_OxKbjnClVFQiSBz3Qu6MAZatuVIeRSqDXRsAhgXaoT9FwagHshS0C-CPttlAJtSSTdFX9jf4MXxsBSHoBGlKN1EO7D0c9Eqzz3yLtdJG9M1aVNgVt-MWy-WkC5QXHwLGPvyTMOHD6wYrUh9jlM32GQpBgF2Y6vvRPxqnRcQHycyR1JjDntCTkIJM/w400-h255/220px-Taliesin600.jpg" width="400" /></a></span></b></div><b><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />A Taurus Triple Conjunction</span></b><p></p><p>If we head over to Frank's 6th and 7th natal houses, we find a triple conjunction of Pluto, Venus, and the dwarf planet, Vesta in the sign of the bull (Taurus). Frank didn't only care about living lighter on the earth and building with natural materials (which is what they had during his era), he harbored strong opinions about organic architecture. He wasn't going to budge in the services he offered to humanity and to architecture. He had some fixed ideas with his gaze on beauty (Venus in her own sign). Pluto in Taurus (we now have Uranus in Taurus as I'm writing this article), was someone who was going to transform the ways we lived upon the earth. And he was into his 90s when he died in 1959 which gave him ample time to make his mark on the world. (A strong Taurus placement in the 6th or 1st house in a chart can lead to a long life).<br /></p><p>And when we look back at his lasting legacy and the influence he wielded in the realm of architecture and sustainable communities, we see the hand prints of Taurus all over it. Venus also represents women. While on one hand, critics could say that Frank treated his first and second wives poorly (although his second wife was a charlatan and drug addict), he treated women in general with respect, even hiring a woman architect early in his career. Then later accepting women into his apprenticeship program in Wisconsin and Arizona. He also had a harmonious relationship with his third wife who was three decades younger than him but certainly influential on Frank. Venus can represent younger women.</p><p><br /></p><p><b><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></b></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXt96YxRKaY3v2EcyvlK645oWOZ_Gi9JHOFZceayAFqM7RAgz-JyqQ56LGQVcZNw0FS7d-ne_qVtglt4c-mkuhpZFNb_DYInyYYDzAVmNUt9IipJt30UxLLZ7Lkj_J1yDdBvBWx40iQI77B4OeAEnt6cAbcOioYRN01pAF-UYZp-HEuLvs__Z4KeWMG1I/s220/220px-Guggenheim_museum_exterior.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="162" data-original-width="220" height="295" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXt96YxRKaY3v2EcyvlK645oWOZ_Gi9JHOFZceayAFqM7RAgz-JyqQ56LGQVcZNw0FS7d-ne_qVtglt4c-mkuhpZFNb_DYInyYYDzAVmNUt9IipJt30UxLLZ7Lkj_J1yDdBvBWx40iQI77B4OeAEnt6cAbcOioYRN01pAF-UYZp-HEuLvs__Z4KeWMG1I/w400-h295/220px-Guggenheim_museum_exterior.jpg" width="400" /></a></span></b></div><b><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /> </span></b><p></p><p><b><span style="font-size: medium;">Saturn and the Dwarf Planet Ceres Near the Ascendant (AC)<br /></span></b></p><p>Having Saturn near the Chart Ascendant shares common traits with a Capricorn Ascendant. Frank had defining bone structure and was on the taller side. He also seemed to have experienced robust health despite struggles in his childhood and early adult years (his parents divorce and absentee father). Saturn can rule the father in an astrology chart. It's possible having Saturn near a Scorpio Ascendant caused Frank to resent his father and yet, Frank also left his first wife and children in favor of an affair with a client's wife.</p><p>Ceres is a Greco-Roman goddess connected to agriculture and mother nature. She is also associate with the relationship between mothers and daughters. She is the mother of Persephone, another goddess who was abducted by the god, Hades-Pluto and taken to the Underworld. Ceres through the earth into chaos causing the crops to wither and die. When her daughter Persephone was returned to her, she ushered in spring and summer seasons. Ceres is currently seen as a goddess of agriculture and living lightly on the earth.</p><p>And in Frank's chart with Ceres near a Scorpio Ascendant (Pluto), we see shades of this Greco-Roman myth playing out. While Frank was not a maiden abducted by a dark lord and shoved into the Underworld, he did experience times of darkness in his lifetime that would have destroyed most humans. And yet, he used these painful losses to pivot his career whether that was designing mansions in Los Angeles that resembled Aztec and Mayan architecture or to design the magical Fallingwater. We might even call him the comeback kid.</p><p>Saturn also represents structure but in this case, it mostly represents body structure. Frank definitely had a certain look--tall, thin, with his signature suits, hats and canes, especially in his elder years which is also ruled by Saturn. And Saturn could represent someone with a talent (although that's more with the second house placement) as a designer of structure. It gave him an earthy signature despite his Gemini Sun. A strong Saturn placement leaves a legacy behind which in this case is Frank's public image (even the public image is usually represented by the 10th House, and actual structures).<br /></p><p><b><span style="font-size: medium;">Conclusion</span></b></p><p>Although I'm keeping this article on the shorter side, I encourage you to study this chart further and to read biographies of Frank Lloyd Wright.</p><p>I've been channeling his spirit for several years and you can find my videos on my Vimeo channel, the Lyra Star Messenger. Yes, I believe Frank had many lifetimes as a master architect on this planet beginning with Atlantis. And I believe he was a star seed as well. He came to the planet with a mission to develop architecture and to help humans return to the natural world in the midst of the Industrial Era.</p><p>If you research the Industrial Era and the men of industry, you will realize what an accomplishment that was for that era and Frank's legacy lives on during the Technological Age, when once again, humanity has lost its footing with the natural world.</p><p><b><span style="font-size: large;">If you enjoyed this article, please <a href="https://www.paypal.me/patriciaherlevi">make a donation</a> or join me on Locals.com (Astrology with Sass).

Pluto entered your sign on January 25, 2008 and entered Aquarius for the first time in the spring of 2023. And this year, Pluto will enter Aquarius again only to retrograde back into 29 degrees Capricorn on September 3 and remain there until November 21. Then you'll feel truly liberated.</i></b></p><p>As I'm writing this article, we are in Capricorn Season which always begins on December 21 with the Solstice. And while it wasn't unusual for Mercury to retrograde in Capricorn and slide back into Sagittarius or for Venus also to enter Capricorn during January. It's not as common to also have Mars in Capricorn and Pluto at the culmination degree (29) at the same time.<br /></p><p>In fact, the Sun will join Pluto at 29 degrees Capricorn on January 20 then the two planets hold hands as they enter 0 degrees Aquarius on January 21. Mercury returns to Capricorn (shadow of a retrograde) on the 16. Mars enters Capricorn on the 5th and remains in the sign until Valentine's Day. Venus enters Capricorn on the 24 joining the Sun and Pluto and it remains in the sign of the goat until February 17 when she also enters Aquarius. </p><p><b><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></b></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCfJFpkCIQ4i2YToqn-qRVZFyUJOKbj0uGeQs6gSXlUuK0CxhbgsBUlJoJT2v_2k16eic8o_EDNGGiVV0n77thd0XI2BQx7dUC_8-bjqgTzcR_g6CoaCUDEQQiy8khV3y9Zu2_hYMeTzUSGgXk1vLyCPYt7Ib5JXuRnpK3PSwT-qTCc7rguLbJuW_BgJU/s1280/elephant-4461911_1280.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="1280" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCfJFpkCIQ4i2YToqn-qRVZFyUJOKbj0uGeQs6gSXlUuK0CxhbgsBUlJoJT2v_2k16eic8o_EDNGGiVV0n77thd0XI2BQx7dUC_8-bjqgTzcR_g6CoaCUDEQQiy8khV3y9Zu2_hYMeTzUSGgXk1vLyCPYt7Ib5JXuRnpK3PSwT-qTCc7rguLbJuW_BgJU/s320/elephant-4461911_1280.jpg" width="320" /></a></span></b></div><b><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />Earth Trines with Jupiter and Uranus</span></b><br /><p></p><p>The good news is that all the planets in Capricorn (with the exception of Pluto) form Earth Trines with Jupiter and Uranus in Taurus. While this feels sluggish and causes delays (Capricorn) we can manifest wealth now with elbow grease (putting in the effort). </p><p>If we don't put in the effort and we sit around complaining about injustice in the world then we end up with the same bag of rocks that we despise. We truly get what we focus on. And this is also a time to heal any negative beliefs we have about money, wealth, and the false power that comes with wealth. Our true power is spiritual and that spiritual power assist us in manifesting what we need when we need it, including wealth. </p><p>Yes, it's an inside job as many Capricorns realize in their senior years when they have gained sage wisdom. Capricorn learns best through a life of hard knocks. And yet, Capricorn, it's possible to learn through joyful experiences too. Don't you recall when you were a child and there was that teacher who made learning fun? When was the last time you even had fun?<br /></p><p><b><span style="font-size: medium;">Sextiles with Saturn and Neptune</span></b></p><p>In addition, the sextile between Neptune and Pluto continues until Pluto enters Aquarius on the 21. And the personal planets (Venus, Mercury, Mars, and the Sun) form sextiles with Saturn and then later Neptune as they travel through the degrees of Capricorn. We all experience the dissolution of old and crumbling structures in our lives and on the world stage. But Capricorn this crumbling and shattering for the old paradygm feels like a personal attack if you don't understand the meaning and themes of Pluto.</p><p>However, the sextiles and trines seem like rewards for hard work, especially for effort that has lasted for months or even years. You might have begun an arduous path in January of 2008. You might have lost your job, home and endure the shattering of an unstable marriage beginning in 2008. You might feel like the Biblical Job who lost everything only to gain something even better later on this path. And it will be like that for you if you're still here and standing after your series of Tower Moments.</p><p>Believe me when I say that I can relate to what you're going through or what you've gone through. I have an Ascendant at 8 degrees Capricorn and a South Node in Capricorn. My Cancer Sun is in direct opposite of the Ascendant so I also experienced a shattering of my world in 2012 and it has been relentless ever since, even ending up without a home several times. Then when Uranus entered Aries and squared all that, it wasn't a pleasant time but it was a time of evolution that I wouldn't see until years later. (Remember the Occupy Movement and Arab Spring?)<br /></p><p><b><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></b></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIwuHnUbkjqwEH0zccseUWZn8cRJS2BUYaE93pHwZRT5IEKsueAvszv9iuxpLeC6QN_GiFmsndYuJeQBJJqO3DYZAg8phHYmVOZmb4DZk0CUO6HHXcywLXTLMEVwr4-l9XpfPAZ_bjZMZ1Ed6VfdB-64FUNPciCghZOv0tAzjLAGNI_S4I5bQBjEesHF8/s1080/Cancer%20Sun,%20Moon,%20Rising%20(10).png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIwuHnUbkjqwEH0zccseUWZn8cRJS2BUYaE93pHwZRT5IEKsueAvszv9iuxpLeC6QN_GiFmsndYuJeQBJJqO3DYZAg8phHYmVOZmb4DZk0CUO6HHXcywLXTLMEVwr4-l9XpfPAZ_bjZMZ1Ed6VfdB-64FUNPciCghZOv0tAzjLAGNI_S4I5bQBjEesHF8/s320/Cancer%20Sun,%20Moon,%20Rising%20(10).png" width="320" /></a></span></b></div><b><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />Important Transits That Shaped Capricorns (and Aquarius People)</span></b><p></p><p>Since I don't receive financial support for this blog I can't dig up the dates for the exact squares between Uranus and Pluto that occurred between 2012 and 2019. Nor can I dig up the dates for the eclipses that fell in Cardinal Signs and formed T-Squares and Grand Crosses with Pluto in Capricorn and Uranus in Aries. But if you were paying attention from 2012 until 2019, you'll recall that wasn't an easy time in anyone's life, especially anyone with Capricorn Sun, Moon, or Ascendant or Saturn in Capricorn.</p><p>And if that wasn't enough, we all experienced the rare conjunction of Saturn and Pluto at 22 degrees Capricorn on January 12, 2020. (I just looked this one up because my memory is faulty when it comes to degrees and dates). I believe (along with Neptune's transits), this is the moment that brought us the pandemic and the restrictions that came along with it. But it also brought personal restrictions and the distrust of authority (Capricorn and Saturn). We saw power plays at work and we were asked to reclaim our own personal power. </p><p>What did you do with that rare conjunction, Capricorn? Did you feel sorry for yourself? Did you get caught in conspiracies and jump down the rabbit hole? Did you use that energy to rebuild the structures in your life beginning with your physical body? Did you surrender to a higher power (Neptune) and allow growth and expansion despite the restrictions? </p><p>Personally, I used that as a launching pad to learn energy-healing online and to start a new business as an animal communicator and Reiki practitioner. I didn't get drunk or escape in recreational drugs like others in the neighborhood did nor did I sit on a couch absorbing the lurid daily news. I knew better as an astrologer to seize the moment and not to lower my personal vibration. I wasn't going to succumb to the brainwashing of the masses. And believe me that took courage and personal strength. Capricorns are strong.<br /></p><p>Did you also take advantage of the Great Conjunction between Jupiter and Saturn on December 15, 2020? That conjunction first occurred at 29 degrees Capricorn and continued into 0 degrees Aquarius. And if those degrees sound familiar it's because Pluto is currently transiting on them. This is a powerful time of death, rebirth, and transformation. Oddly, my father (authority figure/Saturn) died during Capricorn Season (December 29, 2023). With all death there is a release which leads to true liberation. Again, my dear, Capricorns, seize the moment!</p><p><b><span style="font-size: medium;">So What's Next?</span></b></p><p>Capricorn, you're wondering if there's a Santa Claus, that's if you have any hope left at all. That Santa Claus is you. And the takeaway from the past 16 years (if you're still here among the living) is reclaiming your personal power, if not your spiritual power. Remember also that Saturn and Capricorn reward based on the amount of work we put in. So, if you've been working it on every level of the mind, body, and spirit, expect to see the results now or in the new future.</p><p>You might experience a hiccup between September 3 and November 21, but then that will soon pass as you glean the lessons of those once-in-a-lifetime planetary transits in your sign. Again, I have my Ascendant in Capricorn and half of my family members are Capricorn. I have tons of friends with Capricorn Sun or Moon. I get it.</p><p>What's next for you is a change in residence (even another state, province or country). You will also experience a change in partnership status or improve the one you already have because you'll bring more patience and wisdom to it. You will experience a drastic change with career, travel, and learning opportunities. You might choose to mentor or coach others based on your personal experiences from the past two decades.</p><p>But the biggest energy you'll experience now is release and liberation. You'll hopefully have reclaimed your spiritual power and committed to a relationship with a higher power. And if you haven't yet, make meditation a part of your daily routine. </p><p>If you feel like you aged 100 years during the past two decades, it's time to also reclaim your youth and not through plastic surgery. Do this by eating a healthy diet and allowing play and joy to enter your life. Heal and reclaim your childhood (most Capricorns endured rougher childhoods).</p><p>Capricorn, you graduated and passed the initiation. Now, get out there and spread wisdom, peace, and joy. You earned it! <br /></p><p> </p><p><b><i><span style="font-size: medium;">And please let me know in the comments the ways the transits mentioned in this article directly or indirectly impacted your life.

The year promises to be one of those monumental or historical times when we'll look back and say that 2024 changed everything. And what I mean by that is 2024 is the beginning of the end. It's the year when old structure finally collapse through whatever means and we will rebuild every aspect of life on planet Earth.</i></b></p><p>If this sounds like hyperbole to you, after all, I'm writing this article during Sagittarius Season (when Neptune is squaring the Galactic Center and the Sagittarius Sun is finishing its transit through the GC), so I understand any skepticism you might be experiencing. However, 2024 was mysterious to me and I wasn't even able to find a planetary guide (calendar) to purchase locally. I ordered it online. </p><p> </p><p><b><span style="font-size: medium;">Pluto in Aquarius and Uranus in Taurus</span></b></p><p>Let's start with Pluto changing signs after spending 16 years in Capricorn. But not only that, Pluto will dip into the culmination degree of Capricorn for nearly 3 months during the fall of 2024 as part of a retrograde. (Watch my Astrologer Patricia video on YouTube on this topic).</p><p>Since Pluto is moving from a solid Earth Sign to an Air Sign, Aquarius and the planet for Aquarius, which is Uranus is moving quickly through Taurus (another Earth Sign) we can expect major earth changes. These come in the form of islands sinking into the ocean and new land masses rising out of ocean due to volcanic activity (happening over decades and centuries). In 2024, this comes in the form of major earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, super storms, and more of that strange weather which causes flooding in areas that normally don't experience floods.</p><p>This awakens humanity suddenly (Aquarius and Uranus) because when we are in the survival mode, our material goods and ambitious pursuits are meaningless. And rescuing others in our families and communities become our priority. This is when we bring out those quirky ideas others scoffed at such as building intentional communities made up of tiny homes and even yurts. Houses on wheels make more sense if we need to relocate out of a disaster area. And we won't be able to rely on agencies such as FEMA to rescue us.</p><p>We will be growing more of our own food in greenhouses and geometric structures. While this sounded far out or freaky decades ago, it's going to make survival sense in 2024 and beyond. Remember Aquarius represents solutions that are outside of the box. And Aquarius represents cooperation and sharing in the collective.</p><p><b><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></b></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFtpZTn3y-DIn8EKewp6uUG59LHq_1VGy62hr2F1TnIEUSfHG6EJ7MM12mEXGM6ha38QTj1o0n8stPfRWxrgW1pmB3ayN2CymGlF4ESgSOLaos7c47efvF4Ac277Is7UDWWoH8K_l1gV1nIRjVzEHwv6EAwjbZkEX5WOU6XfiiCQRBH79D2dRLnC1PbkQ/s1920/universe-4573369_1920.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="904" data-original-width="1920" height="189" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFtpZTn3y-DIn8EKewp6uUG59LHq_1VGy62hr2F1TnIEUSfHG6EJ7MM12mEXGM6ha38QTj1o0n8stPfRWxrgW1pmB3ayN2CymGlF4ESgSOLaos7c47efvF4Ac277Is7UDWWoH8K_l1gV1nIRjVzEHwv6EAwjbZkEX5WOU6XfiiCQRBH79D2dRLnC1PbkQ/w400-h189/universe-4573369_1920.jpg" width="400" /></a></span></b></div><b><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />So, what are the transits to watch?</span></b><p></p><p>January 21 Pluto transiting to 0 degrees Aquarius</p><p>January 27 Uranus stationary direct at 19 degrees Taurus</p><p>Jupiter also forms a wide square with Pluto around January 21</p><p>February 6, Mercury transits into Aquarius conjunct Pluto <br /></p><p>February 14 Mars moves into Aquarius and conjuncts Pluto</p><p>February 17 Venus moves into Aquarius and conjuncts Pluto (triple conjunction) <br /></p><p>February 22 Pluto transits to 1 degree Aquarius (this is a new degree)</p><p>(Aquarius Season will bring us many changes and shifts). Both Uranus and Pluto crash the financial markets and both bring earth changes).</p><p>In March, Mars stays in Aquarius until the 23. Venus stays in Aquarius until March 12. Meanwhile, Pluto is speeding up at is almost at 2 degrees Aquarius. Uranus moves one degree from 19 to 20 degrees Taurus. </p><p>Jupiter in Taurus picks up speed and aligning with Uranus where it will form an exact conjunction on April 17-22. Expect major earth changes from that Jupiter-Uranus alignment. And this is occurring roughly 11 days after the Solar Eclipse in Aries on April 8. </p><p>Taurus Season in May will be interesting since Jupiter and Uranus are in Taurus. But Jupiter transits into Gemini on May 6 after its dance with Uranus in Taurus. Venus, the Sun and Mercury also transit in Taurus. And I've not even viewed the New Moon in Taurus and Full Moon in Scorpio yet.</p><p>On May 2 (my late grandmother's birthday), Pluto retrogrades at 2 degrees Aquarius. Remember that retrogrades and stationary planets, especially in the early or late degrees of a sign bring significant world events. I'm not sure what they will be at this time.</p><p>Pluto continues its retrograde in Aquarius until September 3 when Pluto backs into 29 degrees Capricorn. On October 12, Pluto goes direct at 29 degrees Capricorn and then transits back into 0 degrees Aquarius on November 20th, again a huge deal with major events occurring on the planet. Byt the last two days of 2024, Pluto is back at 1 degree Aquarius and it won't return to Capricorn again for another 240+ years!</p><p>Meanwhile, Uranus is in a sextile with Neptune (not uncommon) and in the 1960s, we had Neptune in a Water Sign, Scorpio in a sextile with Uranus in Virgo (please read my 1960s series for details). Neptune dissolves what it touches and Uranus destroys structure and situations like a lighting bolt. I'm not sure how this sextile will play out but surreal events come to mind. </p><p>Uranus starts its retrograde on September 1 at 27 degrees Taurus, which is a culmination degree and forms an inconjunct with the Galactic Center. The planet will remain retrograde until January 2025.</p><p><br /></p><p><b><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></b></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPfJWcLY6tRhYPReZM9fat5wIlDXJfkQokclIuhdVivQAu5FQ-nUcbImFS0RbfYzpMBySHGca38w-GXJV1RAVPE8e7dCWMihmu3-y0kBfzfYm7sNCXG8DKzl2lVZQ9euwgEepZ1KaXKwPZdUegYPB-ACGANOe0fj0Tybug263AraVkogH232IRGNmKPKY/s1920/Solar%20Eclipse.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1269" data-original-width="1920" height="265" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPfJWcLY6tRhYPReZM9fat5wIlDXJfkQokclIuhdVivQAu5FQ-nUcbImFS0RbfYzpMBySHGca38w-GXJV1RAVPE8e7dCWMihmu3-y0kBfzfYm7sNCXG8DKzl2lVZQ9euwgEepZ1KaXKwPZdUegYPB-ACGANOe0fj0Tybug263AraVkogH232IRGNmKPKY/w400-h265/Solar%20Eclipse.jpg" width="400" /></a></span></b></div><b><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />Solar Eclipse on April 8, 2024 (19 degrees and 24 minutes Aries)</span></b><p></p><p>The previous Solar Eclipse in Aries on April 19, 2023 left me with a broken ankle and eventually living in between homes. And the Solar Eclipse on April 8 is a rare total eclipse in Aries that will rock the planet. It is also said to echo the Leo Solar Eclipse from the summer of 2017, if you remember that big event. Both solar eclipses occur in Fire Signs. Combined these two eclipse form a cross in the US in Texas. The Solar Eclipse on April 8 will also be prominently viewed in the Midwestern US, mainly western Pennsylvania (Erie). Buffalo, New York and Cleveland, Ohio. Any region under the path of this eclipse will be impacted by major changes.</p><p><b><span style="font-size: medium;">And what kind of changes can we expect with an eclipse in Aries?</span></b></p><p>Aries can bring energies that erupt in wars or violence in its lower octaves. But it can also bring cures for mental illness, innovations, and new beginnings in its higher octaves. It provides events and situations involving the head and face (teeth). We highlight firefighters, police, soldiers, knives, guns, bravery, and pioneering ideas. There is either a focus on selfishness or a move away from it (depending on the types of earth events occurring at the time of the eclipse).</p><p>What we do know is there needs to be endings for new beginnings to occur. In combination with Uranus and Pluto transits, eclipses help to destroy old structures and systems so we can try new solutions. It's time to put on our thinking caps and also to get in touch with our hearts (but that part will be more challenging).</p><p><br /></p><p><b><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></b></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiF_eJH-svgrzYW-6N3Munw-XbkgCKrdh8mvpwOQURgpH1_gSclNwDJ4PNdsGmdhq871ZXc_osYlO7fvqa73II3aAiBUljsSbGtix5Dm2OhMm3bZcYTBQEWEQM6wJQtF49F-0pHSz7AlKkxC0qR4CjygG8SGtXAakq1sMypBePyMsKykDjx-7AuHpbKsC8/s1920/border-collie-667488_1920.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1215" data-original-width="1920" height="254" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiF_eJH-svgrzYW-6N3Munw-XbkgCKrdh8mvpwOQURgpH1_gSclNwDJ4PNdsGmdhq871ZXc_osYlO7fvqa73II3aAiBUljsSbGtix5Dm2OhMm3bZcYTBQEWEQM6wJQtF49F-0pHSz7AlKkxC0qR4CjygG8SGtXAakq1sMypBePyMsKykDjx-7AuHpbKsC8/w400-h254/border-collie-667488_1920.jpg" width="400" /></a></span></b></div><b><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />Jupiter changing Signs</span></b><p></p><p>Jupiter began wobbly transits when it spent half a year in Aquarius and then in Pisces. Then part of a year in Pisces and part of a year in Aries. Instead of Jupiter staying in a single sign for a year, we are seeing Jupiter transiting into a new sign halfway through a year. It is no exception in 2024 when Jupiter transits into Gemini on May 26 so it leaves the Fixed Sign Taurus and moves into the Mutable Air Sign, Gemini. Life's about to speed up. The focus moves away from earth changes and financial markets to the media and communication. Our focus is now on travel and neighborhoods. </p><p>Jupiter and Pluto are now in Air Signs which can feel more mental and detached, especially during Gemini and Libra Season. We will try to use logic instead of heart wisdom to get ourselves out of tight situations. But at the same time, we can detach from drama and come up with solid solutions to problems that daunt us as long as we don't have to follow a group of talking heads babbling on about the earth's problems ad nauseam.</p><p> </p><p><b><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></b></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisl4dwBwtLaS88cA3eXRTyi3cOSuf0ERGdeTcCMX4v4t9Bu06fMizzRCUIJpKUSZ6peo9nyRYxOa5gHStmSYzXs14nS0XkRFIU_1aSRrApd_kFZ7-FKaGjzQ-iMVLRuWJ52mzfjN7h645Y70oVLMal-rdNfiyqrWB_KOX4gNhhXBiUCID5LDWNUijjq_c/s1280/buddhist-Karen%20Henseler.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="848" data-original-width="1280" height="265" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisl4dwBwtLaS88cA3eXRTyi3cOSuf0ERGdeTcCMX4v4t9Bu06fMizzRCUIJpKUSZ6peo9nyRYxOa5gHStmSYzXs14nS0XkRFIU_1aSRrApd_kFZ7-FKaGjzQ-iMVLRuWJ52mzfjN7h645Y70oVLMal-rdNfiyqrWB_KOX4gNhhXBiUCID5LDWNUijjq_c/w400-h265/buddhist-Karen%20Henseler.jpg" width="400" /></a></span></b></div><b><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />Neptune in a Culmination Degree</span></b><br /><p></p><p>The final transit we will explore is Neptune reaching 29 degrees Pisces. (Please read my article on Neptune transits in Pisces).</p><p>Neptune is going to speed through most of 2024 until it reaches 29 degrees Pisces on May 3-4 and it will be four minutes shy of 0 degrees Aries on July 2 when it retrogrades. Neptune will continue its retrograde until it reaches 27 degrees and 8 minutes on December 6 -7. These are all culmination degrees and just like Pluto had its showdown in 29 degrees Capricorn in 2023 and part of 2024, Neptune is going to preview its final act in Pisces.</p><p>However, Neptune won't fully be in Aries until 2026 with it's final act happening in Pisces in 2025.</p><p>Neptune also sextiles both Pluto and Uranus for part of 2024. When these three planets form a Golden Triangle (just like they have done in previous decades), we can expect unusual world events even rare events. These transits bring us historic moments of major changes and shifts in consciousness. Remember that Neptune is also squaring the Galactic Center when it is at 26 to 28 degrees of Pisces. </p><p>Neptune can either cause confusion and fog leading to mental instability or it brings spiritual transcendence, especially by those who have spiritual practices. It will inspire more people to become spiritual or rejoin a religion. But it can equally cause cult-like behavior and mass psychosis. But with the square to the Galactic Center it more than likely has us questioning organized religion and becoming more interested in outer space and beings from other galaxies. There is a fantasy side of all this if it doesn't cause outright delusional thinking such as what you would witness in the play, <i><b>Waiting for Godot.</b></i></p><p>There is a danger of people waiting around for someone or something to rescue them. Do you remember the Peanuts cartoon where Linus waits in the pumpkin patch for the Great Pumpkin to arrive and then he ends up disappointed? Blind faith can lead us astray with the<i><b> </b></i>Neptune transits.</p><p><b><span style="font-size: medium;">Conclusion</span></b></p><p>I could probably go on all day about the transits for 2024 but I'm stopping here. I can't emphasize what a game-changer 2024 transits are. It's going to be another watershed year like 2008, 2012, and 2020, but even bigger than those years. This is the year that we'll say that was the beginning of the end. And that ending is for events that took thousands of years to manifest.</p><p><b><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://www.paypal.me/patriciaherlevi">Please make a donation </a>if you enjoyed reading this article.

Since Neptune represents the collective (so does Uranus and Pluto) and it represents trends, what delusional trends has Neptune in Pisces brought to our attention?</i></b></p><p>Neptune is in its own sign when it transits in Pisces so that's double the Pisces energy. Neptune also has transited in Pisces just as we exit the Pisces Age and enter the Age of Aquarius (you remember the song, right?). So, let's look at what Pisces and Neptune represents collectively and in the natal chart.</p><p>Neptune is an outer planet that represents the bigger picture. Like it's sign, Pisces, it represents transcendence and in this case, transcendence over our illusions. If you haven't noticed, we've been popping a lot of balloons of our delusions. We have also dealt with Pisces themes on a large and exaggerated scale so that we do receive the message it's conveying to us.</p><p>Pisces and Neptune represent drugs, any kind of recreational escapism, alcohol, bars, prisons, addiction support groups, spirituality, yoga, meditation, the performing arts, photography, trick photography, spun illusions, delusional thinking, mental illness, smoke, fog, the ocean, emotional imbalances, body distortions, dissolution of structure including the physical body or actual buildings. Pisces and Neptune are idealistic. They look at the world through gauzy filters and don't want to face the truth or "reality." Oddly, they also represent epidemics such as the pandemic of 2020-22. They represent contagious diseases and ideas that pose a threat to the collective. </p><p>However, on the plus side, Pisces and Neptune (along with the 12th House which they rule in the natal chart), represent enlightenment and the path to mastery. Pisces is the last sign in the Zodiac Wheel and it is the sign of endings such as transcending into spirit after the physical body dies. It represents the oceans, floods, and the deluge often spoken of in prophecies. And the question is what will the final showdown be for Neptune's transit in Pisces since it brings an ending of the long cycle and the long Pisces Age?</p><p><b><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></b></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj81FlE2Qr3cCYk6zhBbO4ZGW84f4TFrrN8KZS_3E7Rhif6vkYWImwW5YzHorv9GH1LNIV8zQ3zfuRZXpTcmHm5NgYV14ZcqdyuvtPyJCioZpH5n11Ho8X7v9D5CgTD5zvG7AkF80beDs738nGp93GNT0jYQ5XqJPVcv5fMYsvRkB15FUjEhLwweoVKYBE/s1920/mermaid-2456981_1920.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1086" data-original-width="1920" height="181" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj81FlE2Qr3cCYk6zhBbO4ZGW84f4TFrrN8KZS_3E7Rhif6vkYWImwW5YzHorv9GH1LNIV8zQ3zfuRZXpTcmHm5NgYV14ZcqdyuvtPyJCioZpH5n11Ho8X7v9D5CgTD5zvG7AkF80beDs738nGp93GNT0jYQ5XqJPVcv5fMYsvRkB15FUjEhLwweoVKYBE/s320/mermaid-2456981_1920.jpg" width="320" /></a></span></b></div><b><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />The Age of the Collective </span></b><br /><p></p><p>When Pluto completes its transit in Capricorn followed two years later, with Neptune completing its transit in Pisces, we are looking at major change and transformation. We are looking at a shift in consciousness but not every soul has chosen that path to mastery. And that's mastery with a capital M. This suggests that there will be a mass awakening that occurs only after a great flood or deluge removes souls who have chosen not to ascend with the Earth. And this does include events having to do with the ocean. Pluto and Uranus will supply the earthquakes and volcanic eruptions since both of those planets are transiting in Earth signs. BTW, Uranus completes its transit in Taurus in 2026, the same year that Neptune journeys in Aries for the long haul.</p><p>When the outer planets leave the Earth and Water signs and transit into Air and Fire signs, we will apply more logic to our endeavors. This will reveal to us the delusions that captured and kept us trapped when Neptune was in Pisces. </p><p><b><span style="font-size: medium;">Body Distortions and The Quest for the Ideal Body Image</span></b></p><p>Since Neptune dissolves structure along with Pisces, we have seen an obsession with the ideal physical image whether that's with the design of a building or the physical human body. There has been an obsession with plastic surgery and not just with celebrities (which is ruled by Pisces). We have seen bored children of wealthy parents chase after illusions of resembling dolls. We have seen women spend thousands of dollars to look like a feline or Barbie. We have seen men and boys transform their bodies into women and the other way around. We have seen men become women and then become men again. And all of this will come at a great cost when Neptune transits out of Pisces into Aries because we will face the psychological damage that has been caused by this delusional path.</p><p>A trip to YouTube, you'll find videos of young and older women giving themselves facelifts in their own homes using fillers and threading in which they insert a needle and suture thread into their cheeks to give the illusion of youth. It seems that changing one's diet and lifestyle choices would create a youthful appearance from the inside out, but these people are on a quest for the ideal body image. They are choosing to experience their lives from the outside in and suffering from mental illness which is supported by plastic surgeons and those who work in the beauty or fitness industries.</p><p>Since Aries rules surgery and knives. Many of these people will face more surgeries in the future to fix the problems they have caused for their bodies. Or they might be healed with laser therapy which will fall into the Aquarius Age. Many of these people will die a painful death including from cancer caused by all the implants. There will come a point of no return where a man who becomes a woman won't be able to transform back into a man. The problem isn't with the physical body and Neptune in Aries will reveal that the problem is in the mind.The healing begins when we all see past the illusions we have spun on the collective. The only perfection is God and you can't find God by destroying the bodies God gave you.<br /></p><p><b><span style="font-size: medium;">Spiritual Delusions </span></b></p><p>We will question some of the new age and positive psychology practices. When Neptune leaves Pisces and moves into the Fire Sign, Aries in 2026 (dipping into Aries in 2025) and reaching 29 degrees Pisces as early as 2024, the blank is going to hit the fan as far as spiritual beliefs go. We will question whether or not we create reality because reality is more complex than any of us comprehend. There are probably as many realities as there are sentient beings on the planet. None of us shares the same exact perceptions of the world around us. We might think we see the world exactly like our family members or partners do, but do we really?</p><p>Even the most empathic person isn't a mind reader because the mind is too complex for it to reveal everything about a human or non-human. We will reach the conclusion that we actually don't know anything and this will bring us a sense of humility. We don't need to know everything because if we tap into the greater consciousness of all there is (and we'll get that opportunity when Neptune reaches 29 degrees Pisces), we will cut through the illusions that have reigned over our lives for the past 15 years.</p><p>What we will realize is that we are co-creators with God or Source. We are not separate from God and it's illusion to think that we are. When we realize that we are merely a thread in a grand tapestry that includes all that is, we gain a new perspective. We realize that everything we do, say, or think makes a difference as it ripples out. No one is insignificant but we are all specks of sand on a beach. And yet, God recognizes each speck as an individual or a thread in the tapestry.<br /></p><p>And if we grasp Unity Consciousness in its fullness we can no longer fight wars, kill other creatures, or participate in any destructive behavior because we would realize that is a form of self-hatred. Neptune and Pisces represent unconditional love, compassion, and forgiveness. And this is a good reminder to have before Neptune enters Aries since the lower octave of Aries represents violence and war. But the higher octave represents adventure and new beginnings. It is a return to innocence or back to the Garden before humanity chose dualism.</p><p><b><span style="font-size: medium;">Neptune in Pisces and the Medical Industry</span></b></p><p>Two areas that have reigned over our lives during this transit are big pharmaceutical companies and epidemics. But not only that, there has been spill over into the world of recreational drugs, drug abuse, addiction, and death from overdoses or tainted drugs. With the combination of Pluto in Capricorn which rules big business and Neptune in Pisces, we have seen these drug companies rake in the profits at the expense to human and animal health.</p><p>We also saw manipulation and control over the world's populations through a pandemic that used divisiveness to destroy families, communities, and friendships. And this was mostly achieved by spun illusions and lies spread on social media and mainstream media (which is owned by entertainment companies). The healthy route would have been to stay neutral and become the observer or the witness. But most people got caught in the illusion of taking sides. Sparks flew from egos which ignited into wars even if on the surface it looks like the wars had nothing to do with the pandemic. We live in morphogenetic fields and the hatred that we spread into the fields will erupt into wars at some point on the planet.</p><p>But the wars weren't caused by the pandemic. The wars were caused by divisive thinking which has shown up in all areas of our lives. The media has played a role in fanning the flames with their word use and their deliverance of lies cloaked in the guise of current events.</p><p>Finally, the legalizing of recreational drugs, vaping, and the overuse of tobacco all fit under Neptune in Pisces. So, what will happen after, Neptune transits into Aries? Will more people give up their addictions or replace them with spending too many hours at the gym or eating restrictive diets? After all, I've known a lot of Aries people who are obsessed with juice fasting and keeping their colons clean despite Aries not even ruling the colon (that would be Scorpio). And body building fits under Capricorn and Aries (and Neptune with the pursuit of the ideal image).<br /></p><p><b><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></b></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiakI_JAj3LNEScgoB-jGYBP01Ud2-nOpIbQVngjPiTRpRsJKAHwtIWxn8GtjQCf_gckUbFo0TyWTqS77H1lDpl565WvxxDMM3FH8Kb9QTmzwVg_Xl-AfDjI8P06K6fsRTsL3Zhfbxm_YMhsv0cmsKPksjiBLojf3EEDjUvjG0lPrnuvZPXVZuhu58rWO8/s1318/NeptuneGirlminustext.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1318" data-original-width="1318" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiakI_JAj3LNEScgoB-jGYBP01Ud2-nOpIbQVngjPiTRpRsJKAHwtIWxn8GtjQCf_gckUbFo0TyWTqS77H1lDpl565WvxxDMM3FH8Kb9QTmzwVg_Xl-AfDjI8P06K6fsRTsL3Zhfbxm_YMhsv0cmsKPksjiBLojf3EEDjUvjG0lPrnuvZPXVZuhu58rWO8/s320/NeptuneGirlminustext.jpg" width="320" /></a></span></b></div><b><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />Conclusion</span></b><p></p><p>If we look around the world and at the trends affecting us personally, we will see Neptune in Pisces in the background churning those trends. We don't live our lives separate from the planetary transits. The more conscious we become by using astrology as a tool, the more we can shape our lives by using the planets rather than allowing the planets to lead us down a blind path.</p><p>The planetary transits don't control us unless we are unconscious to them. And unfortunately, most people have no idea how astrology works and shapes the Greater Collective. But those same transits are there for us to shape and bend for a higher purpose.</p><p>Neptune isn't an easy planet to master and most people won't even come close. Neptune in Pisces has offered us a rite of passage or a glimpse into other realities which do exist. But the trick is not to get stuck in any one reality or realm. Neptune and Pisces asks us to stay open and fluid; to stay in the flow and to connect to the Greater Collective as a sovereign being.</p><p>The question is, will humanity learn the lessons that Neptune and Pisces along with Pluto in Capricorn have presented to us?</p><p>*BTW, sound baths, music therapy, and dance therapy all fit under Neptune in Pisces. <br /></p><p><b><span style="font-size: medium;">If you enjoy reading human-generated content written by an expert astrologer,<a href="https://www.paypal.me/patriciaherlevi"> please support this blog.</a> While I write humorous articles from time to time, you will find no fluff on this blog.

Despite the two signs sharing similarities they have different missions which often cross swords. This polarity whether it appears in transits like with the Virgo New Moon or appears in a Natal Chart provide some of the most difficult energies to resolve. This shows up as tension in the physical body that could lead to disease or at least digestion issues.</b></i></span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><b> </b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>Virgo Season & Retrograde Planets</b><b><br /></b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;">The reason for this is Virgo rules the small intestine and assimilation of food and vitamins. And I wouldn't be surprised if people who suffer from Celiac or food allergies have prominent Virgo in their Natal Chart. This is hard to prove but it's an intuitive hunch. But for today, we're going to look at the current Virgo Season and the Virgo New Moon. And while all this is happening most of the planets are retrograde. This forces us to go inward and it forces us to use discernment in our mundane and spiritual practices.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;">The Pisces side of the polarity asks us not to judge, to become more tolerant to transcend over our ego. Pisces asks us to join others in unity and become part of a greater collective. Virgo on the other hand, judges and is less tolerant than Pisces. It's a hypercritical energy and it's constantly trying to fix situations. Pisces on the other hand drops the ego and often could use more discernment or a Pisces person could land themselves in hot water because they didn't see the red flags through their foggy gaze at the world.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;">During this Virgo Season we are asked to go inward and to deal with our ego wounds We have been dealing with a challenging Mercury retrograde in Virgo and even a month prior to this retrograde, Mercury was causing chaos with information in the media, misinformation, computer glitches, problems with websites and social media platforms. We had to dot our i and cross our tees with communication and become more articulate than usual. Meanings have become lost in the translation and led to arguments. Virgo has felt more like Gemini than an Earth Sign during this retrograde which ends the day after the Virgo New Moon. But then we are still dealing with the Mercury retrograde shadow.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBTDeaU52t-eb7N59ui-CISp1qwnzreSivN8dwlrsXVgT4RyApPs8FDJ_e38SE_Snkw6zkGy2uqxykFChK9rI3QgwpKnlTY9OV9Q8iotc2Z8pR1M2m3MDLbIQwOVhF9sLKh0YUNlmXhXntcSEvtoJCnjY4tncvKkOyORG-JHFfgJkp2rPrxJFYu-CfKoo/s1920/winter-1127201_1920.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="1920" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBTDeaU52t-eb7N59ui-CISp1qwnzreSivN8dwlrsXVgT4RyApPs8FDJ_e38SE_Snkw6zkGy2uqxykFChK9rI3QgwpKnlTY9OV9Q8iotc2Z8pR1M2m3MDLbIQwOVhF9sLKh0YUNlmXhXntcSEvtoJCnjY4tncvKkOyORG-JHFfgJkp2rPrxJFYu-CfKoo/s320/winter-1127201_1920.jpg" width="320" /></a></span></div><span style="font-size: small;"><br />After Mercury goes direct only the outer planets are retrograde (Venus went direct on September 3). However, even after Mercury goes direct, Jupiter (another planet for travel) is retrograde so travel does not go well in September. It's a time of missed flights, cancelled connections, overbooked hotels, and baggage getting misplaced or lost. If you need to travel for business or for personal reasons, don't bring valuables with you. Don't bring anything of sentimental value with you. Travel with only what you need for the trip. If you were planning on bringing gifts for others, it's best to send those by post rather than to carry those gifts in your baggage. Bring disposable cameras with you rather than carry an expensive camera. Even phones can get lost or stolen. For international travel keep your passports safe.<br /></span><p></p><p><span style="font-size: small;">The Pisces energy from the Pisces Full Moon leaves us feeling lost and confused the first two weeks of September up until the Virgo New Moon. Then when we enter Libra Season, hopefully, we have integrated the lessons that came with Virgo Season. We also are required to make adjustments with diet and lifestyle so that we balance our health prior to Libra Season which is all about balance, justice, and other topics that are connected to Virgo but become refined with Libra.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><b></b></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSM_Gi6a7BpTIloemfOA5tEydClBoAwMwhfBaHSQz7MfmT_-Ju9rtNtYT3udUQHcCuRFwRP8-9zJFO7Q_dzCXiek152eMVJEloCf0SlGmNPI8-R2pNAO4EAVxS620UEEr82ALlQ814RYUtxekS9hjOFsU-krrrryV1iiugXMq5i21EVpKYM4LydhCxd4A/s1920/angel-2939548_1920%20(1).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="995" data-original-width="1920" height="166" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSM_Gi6a7BpTIloemfOA5tEydClBoAwMwhfBaHSQz7MfmT_-Ju9rtNtYT3udUQHcCuRFwRP8-9zJFO7Q_dzCXiek152eMVJEloCf0SlGmNPI8-R2pNAO4EAVxS620UEEr82ALlQ814RYUtxekS9hjOFsU-krrrryV1iiugXMq5i21EVpKYM4LydhCxd4A/s320/angel-2939548_1920%20(1).jpg" width="320" /></a></b></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><b><br />Virgo New Moon</b></span><p></p><p><span style="font-size: small;">This is the best Moon to make dietary or other lifestyle changes for greater health. The chart contains an opposition between Mercury (retrograde stationary) and Saturn in Pisces. While Mercury is comfortable in its own sign, Saturn is uncomfortable in Pisces because Saturn builds structure while Pisces dissolves it. This leaves us with brain fog and we're missing the details. It's not a good day to sign any contracts, despite the New Moon in Virgo. Mercury and Saturn toss in the wrench. Saturn at 2 degrees Pisces as it retrogrades to 0 degrees Pisces is in an out-of-sign T-cross with Jupiter and Uranus in Taurus and Venus in Leo. That's strange enough in itself.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;"> Even if we only look at Venus in Leo squaring Jupiter in Taurus we are dealing with a change of values and even a sudden change in values which is extremely uncomfortable for Fixed Signs Leo and Taurus. And then further along Uranus is retrograde at 22 degrees Taurus so it's bringing surprises and unexpected events such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions or eruptions in the financial markets or economy. It's also a revolutionary time as people en mass change or shift their values based on their current life circumstances that force them to awaken. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;"> We also have a kite in this chart involving Earth and Water Signs so this means we are transcending our material needs or manifesting whatever we need at this time to enjoy our physical experience since the Earth is about embodiment of the physical plane. While it's true we can't take our wealth or possessions with us into the afterlife, we can still enjoy them while we're on the Earth. And we can enjoy sensual pleasures as long as we don't allow our egos to take the lead. If we do that we grow fearful of losing the things we value or love. We can become possessive despite Pisces being perfectly comfortable without having any possessions. Think of the monks and friars who gave up all their wealth. Saint Francis of Assisi comes to mind.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>Conclusion:</b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;">I feel that I gave you enough to digest and assimilate in regard to the Virgo New Moon. I hope you are able to benefit from these intense energies and make necessary changes to your life. It's easier to do during Mutable or Cardinal Seasons than the Fixed Seasons and Fixed energies we have experienced during most of 2023.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>If you enjoyed this article, <a href="https://www.paypal.me/patriciaherlevi">PLEASE DONATE</a>.

Neptune and Pluto have been in this on-going dance for several years on and off. And even when I was born during the 1960s, Neptune and Pluto were in alignment in Earth and Water Signs (Virgo and Scorpio). However, what's interesting about August, is that Uranus at 22 and then 23 degrees Taurus catches up to retrograde Neptune at 27 degrees for most of the month. Then, Neptune slides into 26 degrees while Uranus goes stationary at 23 degrees Taurus. Granted this is a three degree orb but we're going to feel the magic.</p><p>Uranus will join Neptune and Pluto in retrograde motion on the 29th and then won't go direct again until January of 2024 around the same time Pluto moves ahead into Aquarius for a second go-round. What's also interesting, even fascinating, is that Pluto and Neptune are finishing up their long journeys in Water and Earth Signs. By 2025, Pluto will be permanently in Aquarius and Neptune would have already began it's transit in Aries.It won't be until 2026 when Uranus joins this Air and Fire energy when it transits into the Mutable Air Sign, Gemini.</p><p>Essentially, in August when we get a taste of the outer planets in Earth and Water in close alignment (Uranus will catch up with Neptune in a tighter alignment in 2024), this is about dreaming big and experiencing sudden manifestations caused by our emotions. After the planets move into Fire and Air when they also align in trines and sextiles, we will be delving into the mind and the power of thoughts. But doesn't the thought come before the emotion. Isn't the formula thought plus emotion equals manifestation?</p><p>More than ever, we need to become masters of our minds. That's not about controlling our minds even if Pluto in Capricorn wants to wield control. And we'll never be able to control our thoughts but we can learn to ride the waves by acknowledging our thoughts in any given moment and then switching to a better feeling thought or allow our minds to daydream in a more pleasant direction that worry, fear, and doubt.</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsGPxITgN2wTrWsZYKof0lEQ4n20iQBwGASQ0yuVwMD503Vs3nIegA99lBPNM6I6uABuLoiCz9TzSDLfz91f5PlWzdXJjZCwSiD9V0bVY3RSoT86r7TbYH3hHbe60s8uNlpiVrpv_O6jh72-8M_rDEiTbZB06F0lGluehaiWyEEKa87_L3OsyR8w6NLgg/s200/200px-Pluto_animiert.gif" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="200" data-original-width="200" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsGPxITgN2wTrWsZYKof0lEQ4n20iQBwGASQ0yuVwMD503Vs3nIegA99lBPNM6I6uABuLoiCz9TzSDLfz91f5PlWzdXJjZCwSiD9V0bVY3RSoT86r7TbYH3hHbe60s8uNlpiVrpv_O6jh72-8M_rDEiTbZB06F0lGluehaiWyEEKa87_L3OsyR8w6NLgg/s1600/200px-Pluto_animiert.gif" width="200" /></a></div><br />And we need to toss out defeating beliefs out of the collective that are about lack and limitation or low self-worth. Neptune in Pisces asks us to turn inward. Tune in to the god within each of us, or if it's a better word, the divine in each of us. Pisces and Neptune want us to get in touch with our divinity and to find our sacred calling. But this takes effort in that we also use this energy to heal our deepest wounds and dive into our shadows with Pluto in Capricorn in a sextile with Neptune in Pisces. And don't forget that we're already doing this and have been doing this for over a decade.<p></p><p>But Uranus brings in a third element. Previously, when Uranus was in Aries, we experienced a square between Uranus and Pluto which ended in 2019 or prior to that year when Uranus left Aries and moved into easy-going Taurus. In August we have three outer planets in Earth Signs (Jupiter, Uranus, and Pluto) and two outer planets in Water Signs (Saturn and Neptune). Water + earth equals growth in all areas of our lives but especially on the physical or material plane, but only if we heal and resolve patterns and beliefs of lack and limitation.</p><p><b><span style="font-size: medium;">Here are beliefs that prevent joyous manifestation or abundance:</span></b></p><p><b>There's not enough to go around</b></p><p><b>The rich get richer and everyone else stays poor</b></p><p><b>Wealth is evil (or wealthy people are crooks)</b></p><p><b>No matter how hard I work, I'll never get ahead</b></p><p><b>I can't make ends meet</b></p><p><b>I'm not deserving of a good-paying job</b></p><p><b>I could never work for myself</b></p><p><b>I don't have money management skills</b></p><p><b>I don't have what it takes to make it in the world</b></p><p><b>I'm not deserving</b></p><p><b>I'm worthless</b></p><p><b>I'm a loser or I just can't win no matter what I do </b></p><p><b>You suffer and then you die </b><br /></p><p>And also watch the type of conversations or rants you get yourself in because those spoken words also shape the reality you experience and block manifestation. This isn't to say that we ignore the injustices in the world or pretend that none of us have shadow work because we all have shadows and wounds that prevent us from moving forward in our lives. And here's the other part, these beliefs could be buried in our subconscious so we don't even know they're playing a role in the way we experience abundance and prosperity in our lives.</p><p><b><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></b></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVXLR-SKmEjr7iUSOTy7oZVQl6Ckwu33PNfeYBISgRezXa_LlOkAZrc745Jl3QBQSrP1N8utuP_4L36P2vl1JHrNChPdBufdeN3L54fwS5yLUnXDADhtezCQNjYxuxVEazMY0hIJyNNABBrs0LIYkuZm_lpnSXonzMXgF2G9SGTjwuo31lr6bWBuFhYRA/s300/new%20Pluto.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="300" data-original-width="300" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVXLR-SKmEjr7iUSOTy7oZVQl6Ckwu33PNfeYBISgRezXa_LlOkAZrc745Jl3QBQSrP1N8utuP_4L36P2vl1JHrNChPdBufdeN3L54fwS5yLUnXDADhtezCQNjYxuxVEazMY0hIJyNNABBrs0LIYkuZm_lpnSXonzMXgF2G9SGTjwuo31lr6bWBuFhYRA/s1600/new%20Pluto.jpg" width="300" /></a></span></b></div><b><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />What Will The Transits Mean for Us Going Forward?</span></b><p></p><p>Other astrologers such as Pam Gregory have spoken about life speeding up after Uranus and Pluto enter Air Signs and we will be experiencing more mental as opposed to physical activities. All of us living below our means need to clear up our beliefs and become masterful at manifesting in the physical realm prior to Uranus, Pluto, and Neptune moving into new territory.</p><p>With Neptune in Pisces, we can expect more compassion, more tolerance, and more forgiveness as well as, mercy for the downtrodden. But this is going to change when Neptune transits into Aries and everyone is expected to solve their own problems. Aries is a faster moving energy and while it does lend a hand when it is needed, Aries people and energy is more about upliftment or giving someone a leg up such as funding a new business than it is handing out financial assistance for people who are living in poverty. It's not as harsh an energy as Capricorn which is about lifting oneself up by their own bootstrap (imagine if there were no charities at all). Aries is not a sympathetic sign even if some Aries people will help the downtrodden as part of a warrior's journey.<br /></p><p>Neptune in Pisces inspires us whereas, Neptune in Aries motivates us but the downside is it will focus more on youth than wise elders. Neptune in Aries is a return to the beginning of the Zodiac Wheel and it can feel infantile at times. Pisces finishes out an old cycle and Aries begins a new one. But what we really need to finish up when Neptune is in Aries is the Aries Age which blended into the Pisces Age (thus the violent acts against humanity and nature).</p><p><b><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></b></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAjM3vCfU_gLx1_MjWsFSfTB-i6NbZDCQnBFQEwKsY3Lwi48lYHU13DNXOaS215oJ-exKPQyiw_2QscbjoQ5AVG2qdtXoHbI2KKwcd6y_ocjX_2Tci6kyNGAEIiXnNYuZImJ9hhwNvnVY176wsz2nqgwy3U99gAJxp9gJOKt410T3xPRp45toV4eQh_Ms/s313/210px-TangoCouple.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="313" data-original-width="210" height="313" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAjM3vCfU_gLx1_MjWsFSfTB-i6NbZDCQnBFQEwKsY3Lwi48lYHU13DNXOaS215oJ-exKPQyiw_2QscbjoQ5AVG2qdtXoHbI2KKwcd6y_ocjX_2Tci6kyNGAEIiXnNYuZImJ9hhwNvnVY176wsz2nqgwy3U99gAJxp9gJOKt410T3xPRp45toV4eQh_Ms/s1600/210px-TangoCouple.jpg" width="210" /></a></span></b></div><b><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />Dance of the Outer Planets</span></b><p></p><p>While this dance will continue for several years, especially with Neptune and Pluto which seem to have been in sextiles for most of my life, when it happens in Water and Earth Signs we are responsible for what we create in the world through our thoughts and emotions. It's not just up to each of us to manifest wealth for ourselves, we need to teach and lead others to do the same. This is how we heal the greater collective. Remember Neptune in Pisces represents Unity Consciousness so we are all one. Then when Neptune flows into Aries our egos take over again and we engage in the illusion of separation unless we decide otherwise.</p><p>Astrology is just a blueprint or star map of potential. We can either venture deeper into darkness or we can align with the light. It's up to us as individuals and as a collective.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you enjoyed this article, please <b><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://www.paypal.me/patriciaherlevi">support this blog</a></span></b>.

But not only that, I'm going to decipher the Cancer Code for you so that you're not left in confusion with your friendships with Cancerian people.</b></i></p><p> </p><p>1) Cancer Sun (and Cancer Moon, especially, because they are essentially a double-Cancer), often hide their true feelings behind a hardened exterior. The reason we do this is we learned early in life that showing one's vulnerability meant that others would hurt or bully us. So, we pretended to be the tough kid on the playground or the sarcastic and hurtful teen to cover up our own hurts. This is because we didn't want anyone to see us as a crybaby or as a wimp.</p><p>The truth about Cancer men and women is that we feel everything. We are hypersensitive and it takes years, if not decades to own that part of ourselves. Once we stop mind-reading what others think or feel about us,we realize that it's safe to put our guard down and remove the armor of the shell so that we can express our deeper side with you.<br /></p><p> </p><p>2) Cancer men and women become crabby because they are sentimental and sensitive. They want others to show affection on them by giving them holiday and birthday cards or sending them thoughtful letters (which we hold on for decades until we no longer like you and then we burn or tear up the letters and cards). We are crabby because you forgot our birthday or you cancel a special dinner because you have work to do instead or something came up.</p><p>We might lack emotional intelligence despite being born under the Water Element that rules emotions. We avoid conflict and this forces us to sulk, pout, but not tell you what we're upset about because we fear conflict. Why? Because the last times we were faced with conflicts, it tore us to pieces and it took days, months, or years to regain our confidence. <br /></p><p> 3) Cancer men and women might harbor strong feelings towards a person, but they cleverly hide those emotions for fear of being hurt. They would like to open up but don't want to be betrayed because that hurts too deeply. So, you might never know a Cancerian's true feelings for you. And if they act cold and indifferent, you have little choice but to walk away and find affection elsewhere.</p><p>The other part of this is Cancer women, especially open up slowly with people. They test the water in romance and friendship. And it boils down to they don't want to be hurt because it takes too much energy to recover from hurt. They also enjoy their independence and hanging out in the crab shell going over photographs, letters, and anything that triggers memories of a time that was enjoyable for them.<br /></p><p> 4) Cancer men and women need a nudge to come out of the shell or life passes them by and they regret it later. Sometimes they just need a good kick in the butt to get them motivated to let the past go and to enjoy this moment.</p><p>5) Most Cancer men and women, despite being considered the nurturing side of the Zodiac Wheel, don't know how to nourish or nurture themselves. Don't assume that we have it all together in that area because we might be struggling with self-care, especially if we are recovering from a rough childhood, a divorce, or other situation we consider a failure.</p><p>You might be a logical Air Sign and yet, you'll be the one teaching Cancer to nourish and nurture themself.</p><p> </p><p><b><i>If you have your Sun or Moon placed in Cancer or your Rising Sign, please leave a comment about how Cancer energy places a choke hold or blocks you from becoming all that you are meant to be.</i></b></p><p><i><b>And if you enjoyed this short article, please <a href="https://www.paypal.me/patriciaherlevi">SUPPORT THIS BLOG</a>.

The lesson I learned was to not push ahead. Couple that with Mercury retrograde in Taurus and patience and paying attention to details also surfaced.</b></i></p><p>When the Sun and Moon approached 0 degrees Taurus and squared Pluto at 0 degrees Aquarius (Jupiter will transit at this degree on May 16), I broke my ankle. This is an extreme event because even though I have taken some spills and fallen on different parts of my body during my adult years, this is the first time I've actually fractured a bone. I thought I had a sprained ankle so Pluto in Aquarius delivered a real shocker to me. The ambulance ride and time spent in ER wasn't fun either, but Aries Season ended for me on a dramatic note.<br /></p><p>Prior to Taurus Season, Aries Season was beating me up.And as far as my health goes, 2023 has been a watershed year of health issues. However, friends and colleagues have reported their health concerns to me and it does seem like no one is off the hook. I bet even top athletes are feeling the burn at this time. And again, the lesson seems to revolve around slowing down. This makes sense because Taurus is the slowest moving Zodiac Sign and energy of the twelve. Ironically, it's followed by quicksilver Gemini. Since I have a feeling that Gemini Season is going to become slippery and move at rapid speed, it's a good idea to recuperate, reevaluate, and reflect on our lives during Taurus Season.</p><p>The reason we are moving at the pace of molasses is due to several planets in Taurus, the Lunar Eclipse in Scorpio, and the North Node in its culmination degrees in Taurus. Then Jupiter moving into the sign of the bull on May 15-16 and creating synergy with Uranus which has been in Taurus since 2019, we feel unmotivated, lack ambition, and our values appear to be shifting drastically. I've mentioned in my YouTube videos that religious people become more secular and secular people find religion. Someone with a life turning profits shifts into a philanthropist and so on. It is a strange time.</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgO96akRS1yb71pHAzXhpar32Bv9yKO85WGbzZoKAZKZseRaj8bNGbXnZfjBoVanTxZvIUpIEoY9_JbBkoxBtpfCEIIVts-NTGsxnOCdM_qcXtTSH2-F4IQ4sHjP4jvvZlqVfA6_IV3alWwZGpCN55qvtmH1_FVSmx1XpGdU6anrkIbhgabXSlFWKa/s1920/uranus-2676694_1920.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1920" data-original-width="1920" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgO96akRS1yb71pHAzXhpar32Bv9yKO85WGbzZoKAZKZseRaj8bNGbXnZfjBoVanTxZvIUpIEoY9_JbBkoxBtpfCEIIVts-NTGsxnOCdM_qcXtTSH2-F4IQ4sHjP4jvvZlqVfA6_IV3alWwZGpCN55qvtmH1_FVSmx1XpGdU6anrkIbhgabXSlFWKa/w200-h200/uranus-2676694_1920.png" width="200" /></a></div><br />Since Uranus (the Awakener) is in Taurus and then Jupiter will expand upon this energy, even when we slip into Gemini Season, we will take a slow stubborn attitude with us. It's best not to beat ourselves up or call ourselves lazy or other people lazy. You've probably noticed that it's taking forever to receive mail or even for people who normally get back to us quickly to respond to our messages. Everyone is needing to rest at this time. It's a good time to retreat or to take a vacation which is probably why we're not hearing back from others.<p></p><p>Quality is better than quantity when it comes to rest. Meditation is more helpful than binging on television shows or superficial entertainment. This is the perfect time to practice mindfulness and random acts of kindness. Venus, the planet connected to Taurus has been in Cancer which is about nourishment, nurturing, and intuition. It's not a bad time to mother ourselves. And in my case, the broken ankle has begged me to treat my body with more respect. On the day of the injury, I felt like staying home and it was only my empty refrigerator that prompted me to get on a bus and travel sixteen plus miles to buy groceries. </p><p>If we push the envelope and think we can control the tides of the Earth we are in for a rude awakening (Uranus in Taurus and Pluto in Aquarius). The astrology of 2023 asks us to go with the flow and stop thinking that we have control over the natural world or the cosmos. Each sign has its own themes and prompts which it asks us to observe. In 2023, I recommend observing the transits. This will serve you and even prevent you from experiencing terrifying tower moments. But don't take my word for it.</p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><b></b></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhd7HPV76U4CPWug_Owi418wT_mAL6hIdck5dDoxjfmAD3fZXdQ0O09TtXbkX1PKFhaOR69gq1-FhCkzfAeZefGHNeQ-DdR17eYP2H9qVv8m-QtZgX2fyu1kQRFtAy5ByIeizNQVszlZNEHbxhrotsqTFDE-2h1eIaQFrOZv4SEXAdrDmSx6UazQ_ZG/s2592/X-mas%202013%20010.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2592" data-original-width="1520" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhd7HPV76U4CPWug_Owi418wT_mAL6hIdck5dDoxjfmAD3fZXdQ0O09TtXbkX1PKFhaOR69gq1-FhCkzfAeZefGHNeQ-DdR17eYP2H9qVv8m-QtZgX2fyu1kQRFtAy5ByIeizNQVszlZNEHbxhrotsqTFDE-2h1eIaQFrOZv4SEXAdrDmSx6UazQ_ZG/s320/X-mas%202013%20010.jpg" width="188" /></a></b></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><b><br />If you enjoyed this article, please <a href="https://www.paypal.me/patriciaherlevi">support this blogger</a>.

However, when Uranus entered Aries in 2010, the transit lasted for 9 years and entered Taurus in 2019. And during that time, we also had the North Node in Libra (South Node in Aries) in February 2014 to November 2015. Not only that, Uranus in Aries caught up to Pluto in Capricorn and formed several exact squares which rocked our world from 2012 until 2019. I remember eclipses in Libra and Aries also connected to this exact square (but I don't have the dates).</p><p>This was a time of relationship breakups, people leaving jobs, people losing homes (the mortgage crisis and the near collapse of financial institutions). From 2008 to 2012, after Pluto entered Capricorn we experienced sudden endings even if we heard the rumbles when Pluto was still in Sagittarius. When Uranus transited into Aries, we saw revolutions ranging from Occupy Wall Street to Arab Spring. And even if we didn't experience outer revolutions we experienced inner ones. (Does anyone even remember this time?)<br /></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhn_tXSJmYsPiDhrWkJmNfwwQiKX42tySAm6eTQMpzpOP6It1vkalo3kDGA_5wndiWeCHA8l3-eKa6LwWiMNVOnr9G5opJMCFXwXZlr9Yr4kO-6Oe7kPK4vxXYRxuLlwg5nxZz4nglLocOIU1wFIM-UNgAOi-1al8hAE39n927Vff4-V3YEOORg8Is1/s1920/superhero-534120_1920.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1254" data-original-width="1920" height="209" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhn_tXSJmYsPiDhrWkJmNfwwQiKX42tySAm6eTQMpzpOP6It1vkalo3kDGA_5wndiWeCHA8l3-eKa6LwWiMNVOnr9G5opJMCFXwXZlr9Yr4kO-6Oe7kPK4vxXYRxuLlwg5nxZz4nglLocOIU1wFIM-UNgAOi-1al8hAE39n927Vff4-V3YEOORg8Is1/s320/superhero-534120_1920.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />The next big Aries transit was when Chiron entered the fire sign (April 2018 to February 2019) and will stay in Aries until 2026, the same year, Uranus moves into Gemini. Both Uranus and Chiron reminded us of our wounded inner children. This has been a time of revelations. Uranus reminded us of narcissistic parents, teachers, and other authority figures that robbed us of our childhoods and led us to bad partnerships in adult life. There was a flurry of life coaches specializes in healing clients from narcissistic abuse. But we saw this spectrum in personal lives and also from our own world governments.<p></p><p>Oddly, Chiron, which orbits between Uranus and Saturn, entered Aries when Uranus was completing its transit in that sign. And currently, Jupiter is in a conjunction with Chiron and during the Aries Equinox and the Aries New Moon and then the Aries Solar Eclipse (April 19-20) prior to the Sun and Moon moving into Taurus. With all this Aries energy happening around the same time Pluto dipped into a new sign, Aquarius, suggests a fiery revolution or at least revelations. What are we uncovering at this time to end the old ways. We must end the old ways or complete a cycle before a new beginning can occur. Aries is pushing for a new beginning. It reminds me of the Ace of Wands. This is also happening during spring which for me, is a new beginning.</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcfFHSD8dHry9VYb826JA191QPKrOakXHKq8JRnoEpqqV4_lkP8OIYYaocy2kG31kuviQItRSqKhcuebirwfTtkhUj4oAXzqWHdozvWrakLxRhnPjYHjIVdZ1ilSPqNI8BlySSd3Cj3mq1zt97rNn9ckH7XF_mIBnUzdtdboF37oFcvh7F_N9K7SNc/s1920/uranus-2676694_1920.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1920" data-original-width="1920" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcfFHSD8dHry9VYb826JA191QPKrOakXHKq8JRnoEpqqV4_lkP8OIYYaocy2kG31kuviQItRSqKhcuebirwfTtkhUj4oAXzqWHdozvWrakLxRhnPjYHjIVdZ1ilSPqNI8BlySSd3Cj3mq1zt97rNn9ckH7XF_mIBnUzdtdboF37oFcvh7F_N9K7SNc/w200-h200/uranus-2676694_1920.png" width="200" /></a></div><br />However, if we are indeed entering a new era or epoch, we arrive like naked and vulnerable children (The Fool) as we begin a new journey around the Zodiac cycle. Meanwhile, Saturn and Neptune in Pisces remind us that remnants of the Aries and the Pisces Age aren't going to die away any time soon. The patriarchs and their dark ways aren't just going to die. But we cannot keep our focus on them. If we rip away our focus from the patriarchs and focus on innovations and a pioneering spirit, it is us who births the New Earth.<p></p><p>The message of Aries is that we are given a gift of new energy. If we are willing to relearn and deprogram ourselves we have a better chance at creating a new world. The danger is clinging to the past through nostalgia or by clinging on to outdated relationships, jobs, and homes. It's time to connect our brains to our hearts but allow the heart to lead. This is frightening for most people because we've not done this before, even though it is the definition of Christ Consciousness.</p><p>The Golden Age is already within our hearts. We have past life memories of former golden ages and it's a matter of quieting our minds (not easy to do during Aries Season) so we receive guidance of how to return to the Garden of Eden (Lemuria). Happy journeys.</p><p> </p><p><b><span style="font-size: medium;">If you enjoyed this article, <a href="https://www.paypal.me/patriciaherlevi">SUPPORT THIS BLOG</a> or sign up for<a href="https://metaphysics4everydayliving.com/whole-astrology-readings/"> a session with me.</a></span></b><br /></p>Esoteric Artisthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04219823043729793035noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1042024586202676171.post-89860516646282445722023-02-26T15:24:00.000-08:002023-02-26T15:24:58.050-08:00Jupiter Conjunct Chiron in Aries--The Cowardly Lion Grows a Spine<p><i><b></b></i></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i><b><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqZlc-YaA5arjxTNUctOwgFPkHgsQkmMzqskXUT_0xolEOJqeMrsWxaUUB2Z2YKTre3HekTvUhR0uuNQmq2aN6F35_k37g4obVj94MmN6c44L6pIUBkguEFvjUQXa4NC3_PR65lLYspalXl-uh7vASGtkPY4YPmNwgiHyL9BcmN2TzK1ttdVD1qSII/s1920/girl%20in%20red.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1920" data-original-width="1280" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqZlc-YaA5arjxTNUctOwgFPkHgsQkmMzqskXUT_0xolEOJqeMrsWxaUUB2Z2YKTre3HekTvUhR0uuNQmq2aN6F35_k37g4obVj94MmN6c44L6pIUBkguEFvjUQXa4NC3_PR65lLYspalXl-uh7vASGtkPY4YPmNwgiHyL9BcmN2TzK1ttdVD1qSII/w266-h400/girl%20in%20red.jpg" width="266" /></a></b></i></div><i><b><br /> </b></i><p></p><p><i><b> </b></i></p><p><i><b> </b></i></p><p><i><b> </b></i></p><p><i><b> </b></i></p><p><i><b> </b></i></p><p><i><b> </b></i></p><p><i><b> </b></i></p><p><i><b> </b></i></p><p><i><b> </b></i></p><p><i><b> </b></i></p><p><i><b> </b></i></p><p><i><b> </b></i></p><p><i><b>Jupiter and the dwarf planet Chiron share much in common. Both are represented by half man half horse, both possess a strong masculine signature. Now, combine Jupiter and Chiron in the extreme masculine sign, Aries, and we can only wonder how this conjunction which is from March 11 to the 15 will play out. Add that Chiron represents the sage teacher and wounded healer. Chiron teaches us that the way through our worst wounds is to go through them, to reach the other side, forgive and accept that which we cannot change.</b></i></p><p>Now, you might be thinking that this conjunction isn't a big deal until you place it in the context of the powerful transits occurring in March. First, Saturn transits into Pisces after being in Aquarius for three years (and boy, that's been fun). This occurs on the same day as the Virgo Full Moon (March 7/8) so many of us will be paying closer attention to our health, our pets, our daily rituals, and the relationship between the mind-body-spirit or soul.</p><p>Then if that's not enough, a few days later, we experience the Jupiter-Chiron conjunction as Jupiter speeds his way through Aries to arrive in Taurus in May. This reminds me of drivers on the highway passing cars and speeding away only to end up behind a slow-moving semi-truck. Yes, Jupiter races through Aries like a Formula One driver only to arrive in the slowest and heaviest sign in the Zodiac Wheel. But, I'm getting ahead of myself because May seems like years away given what we have to contend with in March. I remind you to live in each moment, remember to breathe, and to remind yourself, "This too shall pass."</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuQahMBxOvJZ0Qozda3Y1jz0hiLyBOLfI-1ZAisG1sLXxA2uxQwtJr4sZPaF1xl8txQjq2SnVHiCKVBs8DyT8XZrjYtosJsODn2L7HnxZEKLhSerrXPG0w6UJwvl55ahH80We6H0KtQ0qRsuOmrRxx2FcQjh_npb5r5VcQ56APW6-BCiKWBrB05E-1/s270/240px-Aries2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="270" data-original-width="240" height="270" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuQahMBxOvJZ0Qozda3Y1jz0hiLyBOLfI-1ZAisG1sLXxA2uxQwtJr4sZPaF1xl8txQjq2SnVHiCKVBs8DyT8XZrjYtosJsODn2L7HnxZEKLhSerrXPG0w6UJwvl55ahH80We6H0KtQ0qRsuOmrRxx2FcQjh_npb5r5VcQ56APW6-BCiKWBrB05E-1/s1600/240px-Aries2.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><br />The Dark Lord of the Underground, Pluto enters Aquarius on March 23 and drills down on 0 degrees Aquarius until June 11, when Pluto does his retrograde dance back into hard-hitting Capricorn. Many spiritualists and astrologers are saying that Saturn moving into Pisces around the same time that Pluto dips into Aquarius coupled with a powerful Equinox on March 20, that humanity could shift consciousness, we're hoping anyway. But more likely, certain truths reveal themselves at this time that cause humans to rebel and to begin the process of taking back their power.<p></p><p><b>(Note:0 degrees Aquarius is where Jupiter conjunct Saturn in December of 2020).</b> <br /></p><p> </p><p>Those of us who have already done that work, are preparing for massive spiritual ascension and to find out what it means to live in a 5D mindset and body in a 3D world. At some point we will have to choose permanently whether we will continue to reside in 3D or to rise to 5D.</p><p>The final transit that I'm keeping me eyes on is Mars moving out of Gemini into Cancer on March 25-26. This too is a big deal because Mars has been in Gemini since August of 2022. Mars has taught us the power of our thoughts, the power of words, and also the importance of taking action towards our true life missions. This is why I don't wring my hands over the big corporations laying off thousands of people. They are now getting back on track with the real reason they are on the planet at this time. And if many of them admit it, they'll realize they felt enslaved by their employers and were seeking freedom from the rat race, at least subconsciously. When the ivory towers crumble it's best to get out of the way or to be crushed by the rubble. Find a new route to the place we call home.<br /></p><p>So, back to the Jupiter conjunction with Chiron which might seem insignificant among transits by the bigger players such as Saturn and Pluto (Jupiter, Saturn, and Pluto have played powerful roles since January of 2020). For some folks, this conjunction represents a dark night of the soul because when we lose everything we think we wanted, we begin to reflect and that leads to grief. But the dark night of the soul is an incubation period of immense spiritual growth, if we don't force ourselves to the other end of the tunnel, not that we could.</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-Wy-x-jzjXA3bNyCSba3HoYU1Ig_hnGozgJTKDS21rPUPMkSI7c4x1b6SXsUg4mSGEVetkbpwbc6CY0PgCgRlvG4tZSoq1V0_VI-J-HRPeRCdM1b_H5OZP4Y3qoklUAOL2-egtRwomaMjPlYq2hta7vJ7jLBrQO_9LXIN3XTNkehV6fTZCQhWcpPe/s959/Mount%20Vernon%20scenic%20014.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="628" data-original-width="959" height="210" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-Wy-x-jzjXA3bNyCSba3HoYU1Ig_hnGozgJTKDS21rPUPMkSI7c4x1b6SXsUg4mSGEVetkbpwbc6CY0PgCgRlvG4tZSoq1V0_VI-J-HRPeRCdM1b_H5OZP4Y3qoklUAOL2-egtRwomaMjPlYq2hta7vJ7jLBrQO_9LXIN3XTNkehV6fTZCQhWcpPe/s320/Mount%20Vernon%20scenic%20014.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />For some, this conjunction represents ending abuse cycles. This is when the battered wife finds a way out of a marriage or an employee quits a job after being enslaved by an institution. Or it could be that the wounds are from physical injuries or disease. One theme that has come up for me personally is when I first became chemically sensitive in my late 20s and for decades I thought my life had ended and that my dreams had the life beaten out of them.<p></p><p> </p><p> And on top of that I dealt with psychological and emotional abuse from family members, bosses, and landlords. I also experienced grace from unexpected people and situations. My Chiron wound was that I felt useless and invisible despite the gifts and talents God had blessed me with. Now, in my 50s, I know better and I'm wiser from my experiences.</p><p>Jupiter will exaggerate and expand upon the Chiron wound whatever that is for each of us. We might feel inadequate, socially awkward or not be able to conform to societal standards. We long for an adventure but we don't explore that adventure because of perceived limitations. But because this conjunction happens in the Cardinal Fire Sign, Aries, we are like the Cowardly Lion from the book and movie, <i>The Wizard of Oz</i> and this time we are given the gift of strength and bravery so that we face our inner demons. For if we can face the inner demons than the monsters in the outer world can be melted like the witch in the movie.</p><p>Perhaps, there are some people who sell their homes, buy a camper van and head out for an adventure. This conjunction might surprise us if we listen to our souls instead of societal programming. Others might wish to live a larger life and buy a bigger home without allowing guilt to eat away at them. While others might just accept who they are, face their fears, and finally live the life they were meant to live.</p><p>March is a transformational month with each planet, including Venus in Aries, playing key roles in a synergistic dance. If we can imagine this dance in the sky the beauty of it would bring tears to our eyes. What I feel from March's transits is that the Universe loves us and is blessing us with these planetary signatures. Yes, they'll shake things up on the Earth but weren't we praying for change even though we fear it too? This spring expect monumental and permanent changes to occur.

The usual Mars transit is approximately two months in a single sign. When Mars is moving direct (every other year), the planet travels through six of the twelve Zodiac Signs. A Mars Return (when transiting Mars conjuncts Natal Mars in a chart), occurs every two years. However, every other year, Mars turns retrograde and that's what occurred when Mars transited into Gemini in August of 2022. Mars went retrograde in October and then went direct on January 12. Mars transits into Cancer on March 25.<br /></p><p>We know Mars are the ruler of men, especially young men and boys as well as guns, cars, the police, soldiers, the military, fire, boldness, courage, new beginnings, knives, surgery, violence, aggression, and the pioneering spirit, just to name a few themes. While Mars transited in Gemini, Chiron transited in Mars' ruler, Aries. And we have seen more violence in regard to children.</p><p>For someone like myself who has an afflicted Mars in my Natal chart in the sign of Gemini, this Mars transit has left me exhausted and unable to move forward with writing projects, with the exception of short articles that I write for magazines and blog posts. But I was also born with Pluto and Uranus in Virgo, which I'll get into in a moment. I believe that the Mars in Gemini transit is hugely significant to a planetary shift that is occurring. And I believe that Mars in Gemini is empowering us, if we choose to accept the gifts offered with this transit.</p><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>A Bit about Gemini</b></span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7eRUeRVmX1WX_60sxKFyGVeUMc4IXlVvxwONpRJAglVxqFdkBEEVFOrZYDPiDIh9nIcwHvq5x6AnYXOG8NCrjtzTTFSrGtHUrp49un3fHtN_-KDE8WRQCrLZvXDXVYArutxFU3ICjr6NUioVY_0tYL81_l8l3b_Apb6HBthQfxBv2dIXl7VckMfS2/s1280/star-sign-gb00c5400c_1280.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="904" data-original-width="1280" height="226" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7eRUeRVmX1WX_60sxKFyGVeUMc4IXlVvxwONpRJAglVxqFdkBEEVFOrZYDPiDIh9nIcwHvq5x6AnYXOG8NCrjtzTTFSrGtHUrp49un3fHtN_-KDE8WRQCrLZvXDXVYArutxFU3ICjr6NUioVY_0tYL81_l8l3b_Apb6HBthQfxBv2dIXl7VckMfS2/s320/star-sign-gb00c5400c_1280.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />While Mars is at home in Gemini (an Air Sign), Gemini's Natal Ruler is Mercury. Gemini is a flexible and adaptable sign. Virgo co-rules Mercury along with Gemini. Gemini plays the yang to Virgo's yin. Virgo is an Earth Sign but shares mutability with Gemini. Despite the shared rulership of Mercury, Virgo and Gemini people don't share much in common. I suppose they both have a tendency towards neurosis and could be fidget when it comes to food. Virgo is hyper critical and is known as a perfectionist sign. Gemini and Virgo both play a role with social media, high-tech, the functioning of the brain, and the media. Gemini is more the writer and Virgo is the editor (I'm generalizing).<p></p><p>Despite their similarities, Virgo and Gemini form a square on the Zodiac Wheel. And this square causes inner tension in the form of analysis paralysis (the reason why I'm not able to move forward with my memoir). Both signs pay ample attention to details and can get lost in the details, especially Virgo. Gemini is two-sided and seems to argue with itself. The shadow of Gemini is to speak out from both sides of the mouth. I'm reminded of a gingerbread man stuffed toy I had as a child. The yellow side of the gingerbread man had a smile and the pink side had a frown. This toy reminds me of Gemini.</p><p>There's also a line from the movie <i>French Kiss</i> when Meg Ryan's character, Kate, says, <span><i>“Happy: smile. Sad: frown. Use the corresponding face for the corresponding emotion.” </i></span></p><p><span><i><br /></i></span></p><p><span><i></i><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>Putting the Pieces Together</b></span></span></p><p><span>So, why was Mars in Gemini for eight months? I believe that planetary transits are timed correctly. We might even call it divine timing or the signature of the stars of fate. However, we're not victims of this fate and we actually do have a choice of how to respond. With Mars in Gemini we can either stay within our habitual way of thinking and talking without giving any attention to the power of words. This brings us the same results of getting the situations and things we don't want.</span></p><p><span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsr68kVKy53Zyt7CK8ixhafiWwECC9kwR2kBK7J0kiHipg9Z2XipOJJyrCRHgxOnEdSbEvnxhET5IOMrFCXouVlgdbtf33Jqgs7ZdjEpFPwDiyv5Y6IbH0tYaX-Hb2pyWLMDCtY2n12Y625j9iTHCD9jy-MSIfm6TVr7ksLdyTAsdUPb71eo2v3Z1t/s1280/uranus-g940c5ce08_1280.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="1280" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsr68kVKy53Zyt7CK8ixhafiWwECC9kwR2kBK7J0kiHipg9Z2XipOJJyrCRHgxOnEdSbEvnxhET5IOMrFCXouVlgdbtf33Jqgs7ZdjEpFPwDiyv5Y6IbH0tYaX-Hb2pyWLMDCtY2n12Y625j9iTHCD9jy-MSIfm6TVr7ksLdyTAsdUPb71eo2v3Z1t/s320/uranus-g940c5ce08_1280.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />Or we could pay close attention to the ways our words and thoughts shape our reality and the the reality of the collective. Even though Mars is a personal planet and not as big of a game-changer as the outer planets which stay in a sign for at least seven years (Uranus) or over twenty years (Pluto), Mars brings us the planetary shift on a personal level because it is a personal planet that focuses on our mundane lives. We realize that the mundane is as important as our spiritual quests. And in fact, if we don't have our mundane ducks in a row, we're not going to get far on the spiritual quest either other than walk around spaced out and unable to take care of our basic needs.<p></p><p><span>So, then, how does this transit affect people who were born with Pluto and Uranus in Virgo? The 1960s, similar to the 1980s and 1990s, were decades with transits in Mutable Signs. And Mutable Signs usher in time of change and hopefully, flow. We currently have one outer planet (of the three) in a Mutable Sign, and that's Neptune transiting in its own sign, Pisces. But in 2026, Uranus which has been transiting in the Fixed Sign, Taurus, will move into Gemini. That suggests, that Mars is warming up the crowd, much like an opening act does at a rock music concert, for the bigger event, Uranus in Gemini.</span></p><p><span>(Incidentally, Neptune transits into the Cardinal Sign, Aries in 2025). <br /></span></p><p><span>Uranus and Gemini both rule the neurological system which includes the brain. And I'm thinking the more we work on mindfulness during the Mars in Gemini transit, the better off we'll be mentally when Uranus transits into Gemini three years from now. Pluto will be in the Fixed Air Sign, Aquarius, which also rules the brain and neurological system and will trine Uranus in Gemini. This doesn't just suggest using the power of words to manifest new realities, but it suggests breakthroughs in neurological science such as healing brain and neurological diseases.</span></p><p><span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigRlmaQh_tgRyvo4znHoaujEQ2wlsh0UhAOmAuOuboSxlVSnF5vjtSK1FLsh5pIqgPD237Gfc6Ob3F54P2GWuUdVisgYMdEDSDc6__fcKbn6tUJ0fh6Ze2uGc3FjpP1ab3GYWH-2vm75xPOP_uzDd6MQTLVWqm41JU-Idr5WHpTPqVGrWptBSIEcUZ/s1920/mermaid-2456981_1920.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1086" data-original-width="1920" height="181" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigRlmaQh_tgRyvo4znHoaujEQ2wlsh0UhAOmAuOuboSxlVSnF5vjtSK1FLsh5pIqgPD237Gfc6Ob3F54P2GWuUdVisgYMdEDSDc6__fcKbn6tUJ0fh6Ze2uGc3FjpP1ab3GYWH-2vm75xPOP_uzDd6MQTLVWqm41JU-Idr5WHpTPqVGrWptBSIEcUZ/s320/mermaid-2456981_1920.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />But we're not there yet. We're still working through the Mars in Gemini transit, which is harder for some generations than it is for others. If you were born with Pluto and Uranus in Virgo, you'll experience the Uranus-Uranus square between 2026 and 2033, but Uranus dips into Gemini from July 7 until November 6 in 2025. And this will show up as inner tension or inner turmoil. Since Gemini is a dualistic sign, we argue with ourselves mentally. We question our motives and intentions or we push ourselves too hard towards perfectionism. We might beat ourselves up and cause nervous exhaustion for ourselves.<br /><p></p><p><span>There is the potential for mental and nervous breakdowns or burnout if we aren't careful. This is why practicing mindfulness now (while Mars is warming up the way for Uranus to enter Gemini). This is also a good time for everyone, but especially Virgos, to learn about the red flags around gaslighting and narcissism so that they don't become victims of those games. This is also an excellent time to take better care of the physical vessel (our bodies) in which we serve the world.</span></p><p><span>Face it, we're all in our late fifties and early sixties now. Dare I say it, but the Pluto in Virgo Generation is approaching senior citizenship. But fortunately, there are many anti-aging practices and products available to us because similar to the Boomers before us, we won't age without a fight. But the Uranus in Gemini transit will be brutal on the neurological system so use this time to make changes to your lifestyle so that you have more peace around you. Cultivate peace. Cultivate relaxation for yourself and others. It's not too late to study yoga or meditation or Tai Chi. It's not too late to change your diet (Virgo and Pluto). And it's not too late to find some enjoyment of life outside of serving others. Have you ever heard of self-care?</span></p><p><span><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><b><span>Self-Care for Pluto in Virgo People</span></b></span></p><p><span>If you think self-care doesn't matter, then look at the destruction Mars in Gemini has left in its wake for Virgo in Uranus and Pluto generation members. And self-care for us is setting boundaries. Remember that "no" is a complete sentence and deserves no explanation or excuse. If something doesn't feel right or if it feels draining, slam on the brakes.</span></p><p><span>Most Pluto and Uranus in Virgo people have been serving someone else if not the entire planet, in one way or another, for their entire lives. They feel that if they aren't fixing other people's problems or societal problems, then the world will deconstruct. These folks carry a heavier burden than other Pluto Generations. Not only that, the Pluto and Uranus in Virgo folks had their Neptune in Scorpio which only leads to the scathing criticism of the world at-large. They are on a daily quest for hidden motives in just about everything. They're often spot-on and find the motives. <br /></span></p><p><span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiP9vDzCoSP5w8Bf_jk8ChjoPhWyWI3Mq-uR-GCbhoyIqO0XjnxVNBGtgO75KhKeodnPxyzIfzsmzMz9JRcK_SRLwB6OVOY6iCS5VOuUkcYd6X62AOlAy3Wm8_GNRaYjX3mPweY2-KYZ5TV33w7ZmkQq9Bo325HKviPfF5aj4JhotkXpaRUcMfRn1K/s1920/winter-1127201_1920.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="1920" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiP9vDzCoSP5w8Bf_jk8ChjoPhWyWI3Mq-uR-GCbhoyIqO0XjnxVNBGtgO75KhKeodnPxyzIfzsmzMz9JRcK_SRLwB6OVOY6iCS5VOuUkcYd6X62AOlAy3Wm8_GNRaYjX3mPweY2-KYZ5TV33w7ZmkQq9Bo325HKviPfF5aj4JhotkXpaRUcMfRn1K/s320/winter-1127201_1920.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />So, here comes Uranus in Gemini (with Mars warming up the act) to bring out liberation and even revolutions for the Pluto/Uranus in Virgo folks. But the inner tension will lead us to feel shame and guilt as well as resentment to all those people who drained us. We will be like the character in the movie, <i>Schindler's List</i> who thought he could have done much more. There's always more to do and more to get done for the Pluto and Uranus in Virgo people. But take a deep breath because Uranus is letting us off the hook from the obligations that drained us (taking care of elderly parents, having adult children staying at home...).<p></p><p><span>While few people would call the Uranus in Virgo people kindhearted, they don't see that this group equates duty and service with kindness. Yes, they can become critical, cynical, jaded, and even mean at times, but that's because they have been drained of their lifeblood taking care of the needs of others. When we nitpick, it's because we want others to improve themselves. This isn't because we don't love them but because we feel they will be more empowered if they try harder or get their lives together. The irony is that if we don't practice self-care our own lives will be in shambles. Uranus, after all, is the grand wrecking ball that brings tower moments.<br /></span></p><p><span> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><b><span>Final Words</span></b></span></p><p><span>This is all I'm going to say on this topic for today because my fingers are sore from typing. But I look forward to this liberation from obsession and obsessive duty/service to others. I know I've had enough of carrying the weight of the world on my back. I know the pain it causes to my spine. </span></p><p><span> </span></p><p><span><b><span style="font-size: medium;">If you have any insight on this topic, please comment in the section below.

We know that squares bring inner tension but this inner tension affects large swaths of people born during a seven year period when Uranus was in Aquarius and Leo. So, playing with the themes of Leo, Aquarius, and Taurus, here's are the potentialities of the Uranus Square with Natal Uranus.</b></i></p><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>Natal Uranus in Leo (in a square with Uranus in Taurus)</b></span><br /></p><p>Let's start with Uranus in Taurus squaring Uranus in Leo. If you were born from August 1955 and August 1962 (possibly other times when Uranus was dipping in and out of Leo), then, your main conflict is with self-care versus self indulgence. This could even refer to hedonistic behaviors when coming from the ego. The higher consciousness of this square is to live on the Earth harmoniously while engaging in the senses in a healthy way. The higher state of Uranus in Taurus squaring Natal Uranus in Leo is expressed with generosity of the heart. It's about sharing wealth instead of hoarding it.</p><p>The other theme that comes up is around insecurity to shine in the world or getting weighed down by opulence such as living in a gilded palace and not taking on a leadership role that would better humanity. The original Buddha comes to mind, but he chose the higher state of this energy (I don't know his Natal Chart) or he could be an example of a higher state who found melded into higher consciousness after experiencing extreme wealth and then poverty (all states of consciousness).</p><p>But in referring to feeling insecurity to shine also refers to how the Natal Uranus in Leo person was raised as a child and also from the values he or she picked up from peers (with Natal Uranus in Leo) and teachers. He or she might have failed in art or music classes as a child or criticized too harshly for having a playful side to them. If they suffered punishment or chastisement for revealing their authenticity then they would adopt the lower consciousness of Natal Uranus in Leo which would be an obsession with riches and fame as an act of revenge, "See, I'll show them."</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIYpO3YzEYXjHquqF_Q3veojdT75RD3iQGl2nVEM1ss1YbmARrNGgLaTbjKreOz3YM-9LPvhzJSZmwpY6WgL2a6viEXmPkXhczm5MV5eVc9esYT4wEOkx1K8bR7Res9HZniMqgUTPEinqnAu6a3Rv9dJsTxkppy0N9Y77Ke5QYAROBx40pcHNFxQ4s/s1920/child-3730493_1920.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="1920" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIYpO3YzEYXjHquqF_Q3veojdT75RD3iQGl2nVEM1ss1YbmARrNGgLaTbjKreOz3YM-9LPvhzJSZmwpY6WgL2a6viEXmPkXhczm5MV5eVc9esYT4wEOkx1K8bR7Res9HZniMqgUTPEinqnAu6a3Rv9dJsTxkppy0N9Y77Ke5QYAROBx40pcHNFxQ4s/s320/child-3730493_1920.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />Or they might have a longing to paint, sculpt, act, or perform music but deny themselves the opportunities to pursue creative outlets because they fear ridicule or criticism from others. They might feel that they lack creativity or artistic talent because of situations they endured as children. Or perhaps, they grew up in homes that favored pragmatism and the work ethic as opposed to "frivolous pursuits" which would get them nowhere in life. So, this Natal Uranus in Leo person lives a humdrum existence working at a job they despise rather than to manifest the dream.<p></p><p>They might criticize other artists or become an art critic (even though that is also a creative outlet, writing). They might gossip about celebrities in the arts or resent their children for having artistic talent. Or worse yet, they become stage parents of their children and live vicariously through their offspring--think of the mothers who push their young children into modeling or movie acting at too young an age. Or they put heavy makeup on their toddlers and parade them around in fashionable clothing to grab attention from others. Personally, I cringe when I witness that.</p><p>So, since 2019, when Uranus transited into Taurus, any Natal Uranus in Leo person who has been walking on the lower consciousness road of this transit is receiving an inner nudge from transiting Uranus in Taurus to awaken. Since Leo is, in my opinion, the ruler of the ego (along with Aries), this Uranus square is showing up as disruptive Earth or financial events. These folks might become victims of earthquakes, catastrophic weather, or financial crashes (last time Uranus was in Taurus was from June 1934 to May 1942) or war.</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjv6T8d4br6W-JMsMEUyZB-DpLy_CJI-1PEybCdkq-9CyTQYbsGKcVrqKOLkkMw5C_N5OGbhRpBvDXyXbUuSgiVF4IQ4EQ7ER1znzAxmZQw9FwStOCTnLBvsqh8dtiOb8Cu4vbxNDlVOH0z41yv6tCNHJ_omXSjIxj_pEfrz5-I7g-XrT_DxW4kzNvW/s1920/king-3832148_1920.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1586" data-original-width="1920" height="264" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjv6T8d4br6W-JMsMEUyZB-DpLy_CJI-1PEybCdkq-9CyTQYbsGKcVrqKOLkkMw5C_N5OGbhRpBvDXyXbUuSgiVF4IQ4EQ7ER1znzAxmZQw9FwStOCTnLBvsqh8dtiOb8Cu4vbxNDlVOH0z41yv6tCNHJ_omXSjIxj_pEfrz5-I7g-XrT_DxW4kzNvW/s320/king-3832148_1920.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />But what I think is happening is that the Earth and Gaia consciousness are asking them to live more lightly on the planet. The message revolves around stepping away from any gilded situations or self-preservation that comes in the form or resistance to exploring true authenticity. Another wake up call happens with careers if those careers are not in alignment with Mother Earth or keep the person away from experiencing all their senses in a natural and holistic way.<p></p><p>Health wise, this shows up with heart disease, thyroid issues, as well as, diabetes if they have been overindulging in foods, especially sweet and fatty foods. They might be asked to experiment with herbalism and to take yoga classes so that they step back into their physical bodies. They might sign up for a coaching program to help them reengage with their creative self, the one they abandoned in childhood. They might feel a sudden urge to garden or to plant vegetables or to take cooking classes. Or they might volunteer to work with larger animals at a sanctuary.</p><p>Since Uranus is currently transiting in Taurus and will do so until April 26, 2026 when Uranus transits into Gemini, this group of Natal Uranus in Leo people are experiencing these wake up calls during this time. For those with earlier degrees of Uranus in Leo (first 12 to 15 degrees) the process is already underway or completed. This is a time of sudden growth or evolution. Uranus represents lighting bolts and tower moments. The changes that occur now are irreversible and much needed.</p><p>However, since Leo and Taurus are Fixed Signs, those folks walker on the lower consciousness path will go through these changes by kicking and screaming. They will resist, rebel, and try to negotiate their way out of the events and situations brought on by this transit. These situations and events seem like they are coming from the outer world but they are boiling over from inner tension caused by the Uranus-Uranus square. Uranus always brings revolutions and those will also occur in the outer world and on a global level. It's the micro showing up as the macro, but the changes start with each individual with the Uranus-Uranus square.</p><p>And if these folks master this square, their next Uranus transit will be a sextile with Uranus in Gemini. That will feel like a reward. Then when they reach 84 years of age, they experience the Uranus-Uranus conjunction which bring the ultimate liberation. This is why we witness people in their 80s dying their hair purple, or doing something that might seem out of character to those people closest to them. They might also act like spoiled brats if they are stuck in lower consciousness.</p><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>Natal Uranus in Aquarius</b></span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWMpOAaJeBuTZn5ekIPi0kX-wwzGcnj1y2vhYYGTo7Bt1C21aKmYjTm0n5H9fkIWAGv2z5QIPwjuwwppYSgEJf88n8af3ml1iPL1eodQfI9x45LSGYEWH1AT_gDv9kB24jK1gqWvyXPVLFl8bvxAxxaESmlSPSsaO59inVnU9Em0SQQwgO1OGP7ZDC/s1920/Miranda.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1920" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWMpOAaJeBuTZn5ekIPi0kX-wwzGcnj1y2vhYYGTo7Bt1C21aKmYjTm0n5H9fkIWAGv2z5QIPwjuwwppYSgEJf88n8af3ml1iPL1eodQfI9x45LSGYEWH1AT_gDv9kB24jK1gqWvyXPVLFl8bvxAxxaESmlSPSsaO59inVnU9Em0SQQwgO1OGP7ZDC/s320/Miranda.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />Uranus was in Aquarius (it's own sign) from February 1912 until January 1920 and more recently, the spring of 1995 until March 2003. The people born between spring of 1995 and 2003 are part of the Millennial Generation or the second half of this generation with 2003 bordering Generation Z. These were the children born during the height of the high-tech boom and many weren't introduced to analog technology. They also grew up with the Internet (which was given to the public in 1994).<p></p><p>Uranus in Aquarius doubly rules technology, brain and neurological science, artificial intelligence, sound therapy, energy-healing, astrology, geniuses, and anything we deem Aquarian. I doubt there are many people still alive who were born between 1912 and 1920 as they would be 102 and older. That group would have experienced their Uranus Return from 1995 (1996) until 2003. And it would be interesting to hear any of their life stories.</p><p>This was the post Edwardian Period for the English Empire and I've also seen it called the Progressive Era. Isn't that a coincidence since Aquarius is the most progressive of the Zodiac Signs? This is also the era of WW1 and the Bolshevic Revolution in Russia. This was the continuation of the Industrial Revolution which began during the Victorian Era and the first automobile among other inventions came out of this era. Since it was ruled by Aquarius, I imagine it was also an age of science, math, and geniuses. And it was an era of in between two great wars.</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3qssEogNnDc-Pw2RbcEN8aGMrVwWuQhmEBJea2rVuRECE0kAviOZwswjPSxzPh5yzGxdPYoa2e8jwj1gm8EZ8jRkiIDh1l1R02B8WgVBaaPaKeZEq2rjSThyx5Ovr5wJALKMIitZvAt-Hxeq2h8M6okKm5hAARMJ2Mdw99dgXr86wGa-7zra0l7KF/s1280/geometry.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="853" data-original-width="1280" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3qssEogNnDc-Pw2RbcEN8aGMrVwWuQhmEBJea2rVuRECE0kAviOZwswjPSxzPh5yzGxdPYoa2e8jwj1gm8EZ8jRkiIDh1l1R02B8WgVBaaPaKeZEq2rjSThyx5Ovr5wJALKMIitZvAt-Hxeq2h8M6okKm5hAARMJ2Mdw99dgXr86wGa-7zra0l7KF/s320/geometry.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />So, what happens when Natal Uranus in Aquarius people experience the square with Uranus in Taurus? I feel that they grapple with their conscience in regard to the damages caused to the Earth by technology. I feel that these folks experience heightened cognitive dissonance than other humans and if they are walking the path of higher consciousness then they will find ways to use technology to heal the planet such as the young man who came up with an invention to clean plastic from the oceans. And they will invent materials that we can compost instead of toss into a landfill.<p></p><p>The ones walking the path of higher consciousness are planting trees, hugging trees, and talking to trees. They are the creators of weird science. On the more tragic note, many of the members of this group have been diagnosed with mental illness, personality disorders, or autism (even when they are just different and not autistic). They have been used as guinea pigs for mad science instead of sane science. They have been over medicated, fed GMO food, and had to endure helicopter parents (I had just the opposite experience born with Uranus in Virgo).</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj73lZbZIemsUeo-kWQ4ILZfkpgDks15xnH1Uuirg1vW3XbyVBXdL3n3N7YQgtuvNPTQqQhWd5DziiAtypn-byo9ZqHanINLhlbPK_xCMw2mz2rLJE83yORM-sNabzW9u1tMH2I_n2oC4tMSMHiUK1dTWek622UXLVKUmwyhO5mMNzNn2WEwyYbYKi-/s1920/superhero-534120_1920.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1254" data-original-width="1920" height="209" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj73lZbZIemsUeo-kWQ4ILZfkpgDks15xnH1Uuirg1vW3XbyVBXdL3n3N7YQgtuvNPTQqQhWd5DziiAtypn-byo9ZqHanINLhlbPK_xCMw2mz2rLJE83yORM-sNabzW9u1tMH2I_n2oC4tMSMHiUK1dTWek622UXLVKUmwyhO5mMNzNn2WEwyYbYKi-/s320/superhero-534120_1920.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />Transiting Uranus which brings them their first Uranus-Uranus square at a time when the planet is undergoing destruction from the technology humanity has created for the past 100 plus years. The ones with a conscience will find ways to rectify the damage caused to the Earth. The ones without a conscience or living below a veil of consciousness, will opt for more destructive technology such as artificial intelligence and flying cars.<p></p><p>This group could also stir political and economic revolutions, especially when they experience the transit of Uranus in Gemini which trines Uranus in Aquarius. They might also become publishers of new print media and launch more open source forums and social media platforms. They will also offer more software for free as a rebellion to the multi-billion dollar transnational corporations and telecom companies. They might even usher in a time of telepathic communication so that everyone ditches the cell phones and the cell towers. But this won't happen until Uranus is in Gemini.</p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>Final Words</b></span></p><p>Transiting Uranus squaring Natal Uranus is a time of tension and personal upheaval. But most of this shows up as inner turmoil. It's not a big event as Transiting Uranus opposing Natal Uranus which ushers in the midlife crisis. It is a time of great awakening but this all must be viewed with all the transits in the chart in mind.</p><p>While these Uranus squares affect large swaths of people even sub-generations, each individual experiences his or her awakening in their own unique way. And hopefully, it leads to authenticity and being able to shine their light in the world. Despite the irritation caused by the square it is an evolutionary and a revolutionary time for the people experiencing the square. It's not a time to grow up say what we experience with a Saturn Return, but it's a time to awaken to a true calling and to make a difference on the planet. </p><p>Uranus rules the collective and not the individual. It's about manifesting the greatest good for all.</p><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Please subscribe to this blog, leave comments and share.

And Virgo was the shadow of the Pisces Age and so on. Since I find this intriguing, I'm going to channel this blog post on Leo as the shadow or projection of the Aquarius energy. What will this mean for the Age of Aquarius?</i></b></p><p><br /></p><p>First, let's revisit the concept of a shadow. I believe it was the psychoanalyst Carl Jung who discovered the shadow side in a human. And the concept of the shadow revolves around the hidden parts of ourselves that we suppress because we are ashamed of those parts of ourselves. These wounds which show up as shadows usually occur in our first five years of life but I believe the wounds can show up later too.</p><p><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><b>(Look for videos or stories of people who rose to fame and the fell from power. This gives you good examples of the destruction of unclaimed shadows). </b></span><br /></p><p>Since we suppress these shadows consequences of the shadows include self-sabotage or harming others who discover those parts of us because some of us are unable to handle the shame that comes up (narcissism). Now, I'm not a psychology professional so if you would like to learn more about shadows, look for books and articles on this topic written by expert sources.</p><p>The problem with suppressing a shadow (as opposed to acknowledging and integrating the shadow) is that other people witness our shadows. So, we fool ourselves into believing we are kind people when in fact we cause harm to others through our unconscious and even conscious behaviors. I'm pretty sure that narcissists intentionally wish to harm others. But narcissists can also help us find our shadows because they trigger our fears, shame, and guilt which leads us to therapy where we resolve those stronger emotions that leads to healing our wounds.<br /></p><p>Now, just like individuals, the collective also has shadows. We usually witness this showing up in news stories--usually one featuring violent or shameful acts. We tend to add more shame to the shadows instead of understanding the role we play in the collective. Are we integrating the shadows and healing wounds or are we stoking the flames for destruction through unhealthy behaviors such as judging, shaming, blaming, and harming others because we think they deserve the punishment. That's not the best us of Leo or Aquarius energies.<br /></p><p>I have observed that shadows are associated with diabolic energy on the planet. Remember humans have free will to choose between good and evil. Good is represented by an unconditional loving God whereas, the other choice is to align with demonic energy which many people unfortunately, consciously do because they believe that power and wealth derives from the demonic energy. But that's not what we're exploring here. Diabolic energy can also show up in organized religions and alternative spiritual practices so use your discernment when engaging in spiritual and religious organizations and groups. Mega churches fall on the shadow side of Leo. Ditto for the concept of a fearful God or a deity that promotes fear or promotes dark futuristic thinking or condemnation of others.<br /></p><p><br /></p><p><b></b></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhs_CBut0QK6rDmihU1ZxXNs5-HHhixOMBF3TmCMLqYtG_j-YivF3EswnrgJgRNFCsKRoO7wQ7LQmI-uucufCKoKlBqEnFd1-iLoFzqXeDKTxeuMKr4lcSnPSTyJYDzSeCrCJs-70zkW91o1-vO7fbCnuMA34rcFuRuFVx9fS__yGIyFS3UA6IgsX7S/s1920/sunset-5065300_1920.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="1920" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhs_CBut0QK6rDmihU1ZxXNs5-HHhixOMBF3TmCMLqYtG_j-YivF3EswnrgJgRNFCsKRoO7wQ7LQmI-uucufCKoKlBqEnFd1-iLoFzqXeDKTxeuMKr4lcSnPSTyJYDzSeCrCJs-70zkW91o1-vO7fbCnuMA34rcFuRuFVx9fS__yGIyFS3UA6IgsX7S/w400-h200/sunset-5065300_1920.jpg" width="400" /></a></b></div><b><br />What Does Leo Represent?</b><p></p><p>On the lighter side, Leo represents the Sun, creativity, generosity, the physical and the metaphysical heart, light, and anything to do with the Sun such as sunglasses, sun hats, suntan lotion, and sunlamps for example.</p><p>Leo also represents playfulness, stage drama (as in theater), working with color, children, and performing arts (combined with Pisces). Leo represents how we show up in the world as far as the way we style our hair to the clothing we wear. Leo represents our individuality along with Aries. It's a fiery Fixed Sign so there is a stubborn quality to a Leo personality. Leo also represents royalty, lion, and cats.</p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>Watch what happens in 2023, when Venus spends several months in Leo (June 6 - October 9).</b></span><br /></p><p>The shadow side of Leo shows up with drama kings and queens. These are people who drain us of our life force with their histrionics, door-slamming, their narcissistic behavior, or immaturity. Leo's shadow must be the center of attention or you might experience Leo going into a rage or throwing a tantrum. Similar to Aries, Leo needs to come first or they need to be the best or in the very least, they demand admiration from others. But most of us believe that respect is earned and one can't demand respect.<br /></p><p>The shadow of Leo also shows up as cardiac arrest and heart attacks (heart disease), cold hearts, the loss of joy, grief, resentment, and selfishness (self-centered people). The shadow causes people to think that they are the centered of attention and this is where the shadow drains others. Cowards also fall in this shadow land. The shadow sides shows up with entitled people who use others or enslave others for their own personal gain.<br /></p><p><br /><b></b></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhk-zgMDcGbb56mxIWB_a5qAo2twpdpa_YfperH1TM6nDkDC70Sqj3LDSdIk09GP5-p_5SXn4BWtSoh7qX_rECHyzzZa0SF7P42SqMMv7tESbYud_Hf8bwpJ0LcHU3ISpZDEZwOWoZb41YxN4w7jaituhmCVswz0LD4V5Oj1C_Y93MuOEXBcqE_Sejf/s1920/superhero-534120_1920.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1254" data-original-width="1920" height="261" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhk-zgMDcGbb56mxIWB_a5qAo2twpdpa_YfperH1TM6nDkDC70Sqj3LDSdIk09GP5-p_5SXn4BWtSoh7qX_rECHyzzZa0SF7P42SqMMv7tESbYud_Hf8bwpJ0LcHU3ISpZDEZwOWoZb41YxN4w7jaituhmCVswz0LD4V5Oj1C_Y93MuOEXBcqE_Sejf/w400-h261/superhero-534120_1920.jpg" width="400" /></a></b></div><b><br />What Does Aquarius Represent?</b><p></p><p>Aquarius energy rejects its polar opposite energy, Leo. Aquarius does focus on the individual, but how the individual serves the Greater Good. Aquarius isn't in the present moment like Leo is nor is Aquarius living in the past. Aquarius rules futuristic thinking and bucking trends. Aquarius would not be caught up in fashion, trends, or theatrics (Leo). Leo shows up as a Capitalist (Leo rules gold) and Aquarius shows up as a socialist.</p><p>Aquarius doesn't rule celebrities but when a celebrity is a healthy Aquarius, they tend to promote causes to help others. They get involved in humanitarian work or serve the greater good--think Farrah Fawcett or Eva Cassidy. <br /></p><p>Aquarius is the humanitarian, the grassroots group, and the promoter of alternative energy. Aquarius rules energy of all types including energy medicine. This sign also represents science, metaphysics, and the new age teacher. Aquarius also rule the eccentric person or genius.

It's about putting money ahead of humanitarianism or humanitarian groups misusing money. It shows up as fake humanitarian groups that tug on the heartstrings. It's about manipulative science or manipulative new age gurus. It also shows up with the misuse of artificial intelligence or the overselling of electrical vehicles by convincing others that these vehicles don't pollute (when they actually do add to pollution on the Earth).</p><p>The shadow side of the Aquarius Age shows up with dark geniuses who use their intelligence to terrorize others. It also shows up as group think that is led by a diabolic leader who promotes divisiveness, cruelty, and shaming behavior. The shadow side shows up as selfishness or inauthentic personalities or personalities that take eccentricity to unhealthy levels. It's also the radical who leads people to drink juice laced with cyanide as they bow to a false god. Watch out for false teachers who hides their selfishness and greed or use charisma to persuade groups of people to cause great harm (think Charles Manson).</p><p>The Leo shadows is obsessed with gold, wealth, and abundance. It uses new age and fundamentalist religions to promote greed by calling it holy or deserved. The shadow side sabotages intentional communities and grassroots groups by introducing rebellion within or with the quest for "gold". The Leo shadow also surfaces around royalty including celebrities and political families or dynasties. </p><p>The Leo shadows also shows up with heart attacks or strokes; any medical condition revolving around the heart, brain (Aquarius), or circulatory system.

And in fact, 2023, in many ways, is more exciting than 2022 as far as transits go. Three of the five outer planets change signs. The North Node transits into Aries (not really a big deal but), and a personal planet transits for several months in the sign of Leo. While another person planet finally moves into Cancer (after spending eight months in Gemini).</b></i></p><p>It's unusual for personal planets to remain in a single sign from six to eight months and when personal planets (Mars and Venus) stay in a single sign for several months, they cause us to focus on the energies and themes of that sign. It's not accident. When outer planets transit into new signs that feels like a hiccup or a large ship slowing down to turn in a new direction.</p><p>The best way to navigate the waves of energy in 2023, is to take life in the slow lane. Instead of reacting to events, respond. Take one day at a time. Don't plan too far into the future (because the future is ever shifting and changing). If you don't enjoy riding larger waves, then take time out, but don't hibernate for too long or you'll miss out on golden opportunities.</p><p>It's like that song, <i>The Gambler</i> by Kenny Rogers.

Mars, which began a transit in Gemini on August 21 finally goes direct at 8 degrees Gemini on January 12th. Mercury goes direct in Capricorn on January 19 and Uranus who went retrograde on August 25 at 18 degrees Taurus, goes direct on January 22, fittingly around the time of the Aquarius New Moon (Uranus' ruling sign).</span></span></p><p><span style="color: black;"><span class="ReferentFragmentdesktop__Highlight-sc-110r0d9-1 jAzSMw">However, even though Mars will be ending an eight month transit in Gemini on March 25, this year's focus is no another personal planet, Venus. March proves to be an exciting month since Pluto transits into Aquarius (temporarily) and Saturn transits into Pisces (for the duration of a Saturn transit).</span></span></p><p><span style="color: black;"><span class="ReferentFragmentdesktop__Highlight-sc-110r0d9-1 jAzSMw"> </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><b><span style="color: black;"><span class="ReferentFragmentdesktop__Highlight-sc-110r0d9-1 jAzSMw">1. Saturn in Pisces</span></span></b></span></p><p><span style="color: black;"><span class="ReferentFragmentdesktop__Highlight-sc-110r0d9-1 jAzSMw">Saturn appeared comfortable in the signs of Capricorn and Aquarius even if this meant that authoritative figures were too heavy-handed with the everyday person or the masses. When Saturn was in Capricorn people thought they had no option but to obey the law of the land, but when Saturn moved into Aquarius and squared off with Uranus in Taurus, we saw people revolt across the planet.</span></span></p><p><span style="color: black;"><span class="ReferentFragmentdesktop__Highlight-sc-110r0d9-1 jAzSMw">But we also saw the rise of mental illness and drug addictions (mainly because of Neptune's long transit in Pisces) but also because Saturn was focusing on the mind/brain which led to mental breakdowns for some folks. Gas lighting was a word on many people's lips as was censorship. Authoritative figures armed with technological giants (Aquarius) told us what to think and even where to place our focus.</span></span></p><p><span style="color: black;"><span class="ReferentFragmentdesktop__Highlight-sc-110r0d9-1 jAzSMw">So, what's next with Saturn moving into Pisces on March 7? (Seven is a Neptune-Pisces number and March 7 is in Pisces Season).</span></span></p><p><span style="color: black;"><span class="ReferentFragmentdesktop__Highlight-sc-110r0d9-1 jAzSMw">Saturn's classical rulers are Capricorn and Aquarius which are two different energies. Saturn represents authority, father figures, boundaries, structures, the structure of the human body, finances, and even the patriarchal era. Pisces dissolves boundaries, swims in its own direction (obeying no one's rules), dreams, uses his imagination and represents spirituality (not religion). </span></span></p><p><span style="color: black;"><span class="ReferentFragmentdesktop__Highlight-sc-110r0d9-1 jAzSMw">The lower octaves of Pisces includes prisons, hospitals, chemicals, vapor, smoke, fog, air pollution, water pollution, the fishing industry, destruction of the oceans, drug and alcohol addiction, mental illness (as in delusional and paranoid) and it rules co-dependency. The higher octave of Pisces represents the movie industry, the music industry (when used for healing purposes), music therapy, dance, dance therapy, photography, compassion, forgiveness, yoga, meditation, transcendental spiritual practices.</span></span></p><p><span style="color: black;"><span class="ReferentFragmentdesktop__Highlight-sc-110r0d9-1 jAzSMw">So, how will Saturn in Pisces play out for the next 2.5 years? And what happened last time Saturn was in Pisces? Will fundamentalist religions shame and bully people who practice alternative spirituality? Will old structures dissolve? Will we create our own realities? Will movies be used as propaganda or for healthy entertainment? Will more people with addictions get help or will they transition into spirit in larger numbers than in previous years (Pisces can represent the end of life).</span></span></p><p><span style="color: black;"><span class="ReferentFragmentdesktop__Highlight-sc-110r0d9-1 jAzSMw">I believe that Saturn in Pisces assist us in our departure from the Pisces Age. And the final push into the Aquarius Age is when Neptune leaves Pisces and transits into Aries in 2025, the same year Saturn transits into Aries, which represents new beginnings. This is why Saturn moving into Pisces is a big deal in 2023.</span></span></p><p><span style="color: black;"><span class="ReferentFragmentdesktop__Highlight-sc-110r0d9-1 jAzSMw"><br /></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><b><span style="color: black;"><span class="ReferentFragmentdesktop__Highlight-sc-110r0d9-1 jAzSMw">2. Pluto Dipping into Aquarius (March 23 until June 11)</span></span></b></span></p><p><span style="color: black;"><span class="ReferentFragmentdesktop__Highlight-sc-110r0d9-1 jAzSMw">Not only is Pluto debuting in a new Zodiac Sign in 2023, but Jupiter who transits from Aries into Taurus will square Pluto from May 17 until June 11 when Pluto transits back into Capricorn. With Jupiter and Pluto squaring off at 0 degrees this marks new beginnings. These two planets drill down on zero degrees, and Pluto remains at 0 degrees during it's entire transit in Aquarius. Well, 0 degrees Aquarius also reminds us that we are at the beginning of the Aquarius Age which will last at least 2,500 years!</span></span></p><p><span style="color: black;"><span class="ReferentFragmentdesktop__Highlight-sc-110r0d9-1 jAzSMw">We might complain about the chaos and confusion in the world but let's remember that it's not every generation of humans that lives through a changing of the ages. The last time humanity went through one of these changes was when Jesus walked the Earth. So, it's been a long while. And as we are shifting from one age to another, we are also delving more deeply into Galactic energy. The Sun grows more intense with solar winds, the poles are shifting, and have you noticed that there are numerous realities playing out at one time? And we thought the ending of the Mayan Calendar was a big deal. Hello!</span></span></p><p><span style="color: black;"><span class="ReferentFragmentdesktop__Highlight-sc-110r0d9-1 jAzSMw">So while Jupiter transiting into Taurus isn't a big deal even if he's shy of a twelve year transit around the Zodiac Wheel from the last time he was in Taurus, Pluto dipping into Aquarius is a huge deal and we must pay attention. Not only that, Pluto will transit back to 27 degrees Capricorn which is the Pluto Return for the US. This will conclude at the end of 2023 and I think we'll notice monumental changes to the US. Pluto is the planet of death, rebirth, and transformation. Since I'm currently in the US State where the nation was born, Pennsylvania (US birth place is Philadelphia PA), I wonder what role I'm asked to play during 2023.</span></span></p><p><span style="color: black;"><span class="ReferentFragmentdesktop__Highlight-sc-110r0d9-1 jAzSMw"> </span></span></p><p><b><span style="color: black;"><span class="ReferentFragmentdesktop__Highlight-sc-110r0d9-1 jAzSMw"><span style="font-size: medium;">3. Mars Leaves Gemini Finally (Thank you, Mars)</span><br /></span></span></b></p><p><span style="color: black;"><span class="ReferentFragmentdesktop__Highlight-sc-110r0d9-1 jAzSMw">I realize that as an astrologer I haven't paid enough attention to the personal planets with the exception of eclipses. I have focused on the big five outer planets because they bring massive change and stay in signs longer than the personal planets who usually rip through a sign.</span></span></p><p><span style="color: black;"><span class="ReferentFragmentdesktop__Highlight-sc-110r0d9-1 jAzSMw">However, Mars, which is famously known as the ruler of men and boys stayed in a masculine sign, Gemini for eight months. As mentioned earlier, Mars moves into Cancer on March 25. The reasons for its long stay in Gemini astrologically was because of a retrograde. However, the significance of Mars staying in the sign of language, learning, and communication is because we need to clean up communication. We need to pay attention to the power of words and stop using words violently or aggressively.</span></span></p><p><span style="color: black;"><span class="ReferentFragmentdesktop__Highlight-sc-110r0d9-1 jAzSMw"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>Stop with the negative affirmations </b></span><br /></span></span></p><p><span style="color: black;"><span class="ReferentFragmentdesktop__Highlight-sc-110r0d9-1 jAzSMw">Gemini is an Air Sign that I associate with the wind too and look at the number of cyclones and hurricanes during recent months. This Mars transit prepares us for an astrological event of 2026 when Uranus will transit into Gemini. I warn everyone to use their minds wisely now. Become mindful. Meditate and direct your imagination into a constructive and creative direction. Give up bad habits such as recreational drugs and if you suffer from mental illness, get help from a licensed professional who isn't also suffering from mental illness. Stop gossiping, complaining, and ranting unless you want all those words to come back and slap you in the face (Aries/Mars rules the face).<br /></span></span></p><p><span style="color: black;"><span class="ReferentFragmentdesktop__Highlight-sc-110r0d9-1 jAzSMw">Mars in Gemini could have also ruled brain surgery and brain science. But it can also ignite violence caused by young men (with guns) suffering from mental illness. And it rules discovering lies and corruption on social media platforms as well as, gas lighting by the mainstream media and alternative news. We don't know who to believe any longer, kind of like scenes from the movie <i>Charade</i> starring Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn (go watch the movie).</span></span></p><p><span style="color: black;"><span class="ReferentFragmentdesktop__Highlight-sc-110r0d9-1 jAzSMw">Finally, Mars in Gemini gave us the motivation to hire a coach or to learn coaching. It gave us motivation to write books, give speeches, and create our own media platform. But some people grew tired of the chatty atmosphere, the bullying, shaming, and divisiveness caused by this transit and they left social media platforms in favor of a meditation practice. Good for them.</span></span></p><p><span style="color: black;"><span class="ReferentFragmentdesktop__Highlight-sc-110r0d9-1 jAzSMw"><br /></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><b><span style="color: black;"><span class="ReferentFragmentdesktop__Highlight-sc-110r0d9-1 jAzSMw">4. Venus in Leo (Battle of Beauty Queens)</span></span></b></span></p><p><span style="color: black;"><span class="ReferentFragmentdesktop__Highlight-sc-110r0d9-1 jAzSMw">While we will give a sigh of relief when Mars finally returns to its normal transit, Venus rears her head in 2023 when she heads into the Fire Sign Leo. This transit begins on June 6 and ends on October 10 (a total of 5 grueling months). The theme that comes to my mind is the battle of beauty queens. But not just beauty queens, super models, actresses, and all the other women who hog the spotlight in 2023.</span></span></p><p><span style="color: black;"><span class="ReferentFragmentdesktop__Highlight-sc-110r0d9-1 jAzSMw">Both Venus and Leo have a shallow side and when we combine the two, expect superficiality, gossip, competition, and betrayal. This won't happen with every woman but it will occur with women who spend their days watching beauty videos and globing onto women celebrities (especially divas, actresses, and models).</span></span></p><p><span style="color: black;"><span class="ReferentFragmentdesktop__Highlight-sc-110r0d9-1 jAzSMw">The advertisers and fashion industries will make use of this transit too by focusing on the perfectionism of the youthful woman. That's right. If you're a menopausal woman, you'll be cast aside by advertisers and ignored by the superficial types. The camera eye will focus on the unobtainable image of the perfect woman who will be airbrushed and sculpted and then forced to wear body slimmers to fit into serpentine type dresses. Okay, so that's the ugly side of Venus in Leo. And most of us don't look good in a cat woman costume.<br /></span></span></p><p><span style="color: black;"><span class="ReferentFragmentdesktop__Highlight-sc-110r0d9-1 jAzSMw">For the more awakened folks, Venus in Leo is about valuing the heart. It's about giving from the heart and mentoring younger women. It's about more women becoming motivational coaches and actresses donating time and money to charities. It's about goddess worship and Gaia consciousness. And it's about cleaning up the diet, especially after Venus transits into Virgo in October. And it's about investing in gold because Venus is what we value and can rule the financial markets and Leo rules gold. There will also be a focus on preventing heart attacks and strokes in women. And it's about Leo Sandra Bullock adopting another dog that no one else wants.<br /></span></span></p><p><span style="color: black;"><span class="ReferentFragmentdesktop__Highlight-sc-110r0d9-1 jAzSMw">Venus in Leo also rules women empowerment if we don't take the media bait and side against other women. Women need to end the divide and conquer game started by the patriarchs who destroyed matriarchal cultures and pitted women against each other as in with harems and concubines. And can we please end the dichotomy of the virgin versus the whore? Thank you.</span></span></p><p><span style="color: black;"><span class="ReferentFragmentdesktop__Highlight-sc-110r0d9-1 jAzSMw"><br /></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><b><span style="color: black;"><span class="ReferentFragmentdesktop__Highlight-sc-110r0d9-1 jAzSMw">5. Jupiter in Taurus-Pluto in Aquarius Square</span></span></b></span></p><p><span style="color: black;"><span class="ReferentFragmentdesktop__Highlight-sc-110r0d9-1 jAzSMw">I know I mentioned this square earlier under Pluto's transit. However, this square is different than the Saturn-Uranus Square that happened in 2021 and 2022. While Saturn constricts, Jupiter expands. While Saturn is seen as a party pooper, Jupiter promotes optimism, freedom, and world travel. Jupiter represents Galactic travel and anything that is far away or foreign.<br /></span></span></p><p><span style="color: black;"><span class="ReferentFragmentdesktop__Highlight-sc-110r0d9-1 jAzSMw">So, what happens when Jupiter transits into Taurus (a Fixed Sign that would rather stay at home than travel in a rocket ship to another galaxy) and then squares off with Pluto in Aquarius? Will the currencies change as some experts have predicted? Will we suddenly go all digital? Will entrepreneurs (Aquarius) fall under more scrutiny and lose public trust (even more)? Will Jeff Bezos travel into space again (and hopefully stay there this time)?</span></span></p><p><span style="color: black;"><span class="ReferentFragmentdesktop__Highlight-sc-110r0d9-1 jAzSMw">Jupiter is a gambler with big ideas that often fail. Pluto, on the other hand, is secretive and cautious as well as underhanded. This could represent a war of religions or rifts in organized religion such as what happened during the Renaissance when the protestants emerged and challenged the Roman Catholic Church. This could also represent religious fanatics starting cults that lead people to sip juice tainted with cyanide. It does suggest depravity or the uncovering of cults that misuse and abuse sex and shamanic plants. </span></span></p><p><span style="color: black;"><span class="ReferentFragmentdesktop__Highlight-sc-110r0d9-1 jAzSMw">Whatever transpires or is uncovered at this time will be short lived because this transit lasts from May 17 to June 11 when Pluto returns to Capricorn and Jupiter moves on. This could also spark revolutions and sound off the cries of freedom for the oppressed. It could usher in a time of labor movements, strikes, and mass exodus from various industries as people decide to start their own businesses. The US will definitely feel the effects of this transit since Pluto returns to 27 degrees Capricorn later in the 2023. </span></span></p><p><span style="color: black;"><span class="ReferentFragmentdesktop__Highlight-sc-110r0d9-1 jAzSMw">If humanity decides to awaken we can avoid the darker predictions. Personally, I would like to see Galactic beings arriving to teach humanity and take us to the next level of our evolution. I would like to witness humanity learning how to use their junk DNA and expanding their minds. And I would like to see new forms of spirituality replace traditional religions that enslaved women for centuries.</span></span></p><p><span style="color: black;"><span class="ReferentFragmentdesktop__Highlight-sc-110r0d9-1 jAzSMw">What do you think?</span></span></p><p><span style="color: black;"><span class="ReferentFragmentdesktop__Highlight-sc-110r0d9-1 jAzSMw">Okay, so those are five major transits for 2023. I infused humor into the mix so we can enter the upcoming year on a lighter note. I like the lyrics, "Don't Worry, be happy," by Bobby McFerrin. Don't worry because 2024 will get here much sooner than you think and you'll be reflecting on the powerful transits of 2023 and saying, "Wow, that unknown and underpaid astrologer was right." <br /></span></span></p><p><span style="color: black;"><span class="ReferentFragmentdesktop__Highlight-sc-110r0d9-1 jAzSMw"> </span></span></p><p><span style="color: black;"><span class="ReferentFragmentdesktop__Highlight-sc-110r0d9-1 jAzSMw"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>If you enjoyed this article please <a href="https://www.paypal.me/patriciaherlevi">SUPPORT</a> this blog.

You don't want to ignore any long transit of a personal planet. Mars usually stays two months in a Zodiac Sign, but in this case, Mars spends eight months in Gemini. That's three-quarters of a year even though the transit overlaps with 2023.</p><p>While it's not usual for Mars to retrograde and stay in a single Zodiac Sign for several months, this particular transit comes at a time of great poverty and helplessness. And it reminds each of us that we have the power to manifest our desires if we place our focus on what we want instead of on what we don't want. This is not simplistic Law of Attraction practice. Let's break it down.</p><p>Mars is a planet of action ruled by the Cardinal Zodiac Sign Aries. This is a fiery planet known for igniting anger, passion, outrage, and our sexual nature. It's also a planet of guns, cars, masculinity, hunting, warriors, the police, firemen, race car drivers, knives, and I put explosives under Mars even though it probably suits Uranus better.</p><p>On the positive side, Mars also represents courage, motivation, drive, passion for a hobby or project, pioneering something new, boys, men, the physical brain and the face. It could even be about saving face as with some cultures. <br /></p><p>Gemini is the co-ruler of the messenger planet, Mercury. This is the sign of languages, words, the power of words, meditation as in mindfulness meditation, could fit in with mental health counseling and coaching and fits into the communications field (including videos and podcasts). It's the sign of dualism, writing, writers, city planners, neighborhoods, cousins and the twins.</p><p>On the flip side, Gemini also represents trickery, lies, deceit, restlessness, nervousness, mental health conditions, and a misuse of words.<br /></p><p><br />When we put Gemini together with Mars we get passionate communication. We might also end up listening to too many angry soapbox rants. People want to debate an issue but they might not listen to the other side of the debate or use the other person's words against them. Twisted logic could happen with the weaker side of Mars being immaturity and petulance.</p><p>The positive side of Mars in Gemini is mindfulness. It is about using affirmations and even visualization or imagination with powerful words. Saint Germaine and the I-Am Presence comes up with Mars in Gemini too. And you might find during this time that we are encouraged to heal out thoughts so that we don't keep creating more of the same stuff we despise.</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0-P8fw2NZ-J64GlHxGdL4BA2VS1PMO3K0SpM8WM1ltjp4OcCcITF8cM78hogk8XXp5d7Zed0BY4vgRyonZnxDKEISDSFUqHQvEgBdpcCHQG-VOvI1C6IZlgoq6qegcVSrBz0CNHGfPYKhuIALdwHH1BdoMaUmcnWd-kCk1MGlKKUeZpBuOASsO0F4/s1280/writing-923882_1280.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="853" data-original-width="1280" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0-P8fw2NZ-J64GlHxGdL4BA2VS1PMO3K0SpM8WM1ltjp4OcCcITF8cM78hogk8XXp5d7Zed0BY4vgRyonZnxDKEISDSFUqHQvEgBdpcCHQG-VOvI1C6IZlgoq6qegcVSrBz0CNHGfPYKhuIALdwHH1BdoMaUmcnWd-kCk1MGlKKUeZpBuOASsO0F4/w400-h266/writing-923882_1280.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><p></p><p>So, here is my To-Do List (to make the most out of this transit).</p><p>If you're starting late, don't worry. You still have until March 25, 2023.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>1.<b> Take Action</b></p><p>Stop talking about your dreams or what you'll do some day when you have the money. Take a small step towards your dreams. Use this energy to motivate yourself or to hire a motivational coach. Mars in Gemini offers opportunities for any type of communications project such as writing or completing a novel, memoir, or non-fiction book.</p><p>I've been using this transit to write articles for magazines and newspapers. And I'm writing a memoir.</p><p>2. <b>Watch for Synchronicity</b></p><p>From number sequences to repeated words, what is the Universe communicating with you now?</p><p>3. <b>Watch Your Words</b></p><p>Are you saying positive or negative affirmations to yourself? That's right, while we want to use positive affirmations to change our life situations, we often use negative affirmations to derail our efforts. How does that work?</p><p>Anytime we use the words "I am" anything that follows that is an affirmation. Pay attention to how you misuse or use the power of words in your daily life. Then you'll see what has been created for you.</p><p>4.<b> Words are Things Manifested</b></p><p>This one pairs with #3. If you enjoy your manifestations including beautiful objects you bring into your life then chances are you're using beautiful or peaceful words that are on the same vibration of those objects (or situations).</p><p>But if you tell yourself you're not deserving by the words you choose to use after the I Am statement, then you're manifesting unwanted objects or situations in your life. But as you become more mindful of your word choices you empower yourself and become a master manifestor.</p><p>5. <b>Powerful Prayers</b></p><p>Since prayers are words spoken hopefully with spiritual power behind them, when Mars is in Gemini, your prayers are more likely to resonate. Plus, you'll enjoy saying them too. This is also a good time to work with decrees in invocations. I would add chants to this list even though that involves music. This is a good use of Pisces and Gemini.<br /></p><p>6. <b>Use Your Imagination </b></p><p>Mars in Gemini lends itself to Creative Visualization. Spend some time daydreaming and then focus your daydreams into setting intentions. You can also place power words on vision boards.</p><p>7. <b>Take Workshops and Classes</b></p><p>Mars in Gemini offers the opportunity to learn new skills. Why not take a digital class? Or take a workshop at a community center or food coop.</p><p>8. <b>Teach What You Know</b></p><p>If you're not a teacher with credentials but you're aching to share what you know with others, teach a workshop online or at a community center. Why not teach at a public library? That would satisfy Gemini's curiosity.</p><p>9. <b>Write For Yourself or Others</b></p><p>Perhaps, you don't want to become a novelist but you still want to write. Write poems, short stories, articles, pitches, or if you don't want to share your writing, keep a private journal. Writing projects go well now, even for people who don't consider themselves pen-worthy.</p><p>10. <b>Produce Videos and Podcasts</b></p><p>If you've been putting off launching your own channel because you have something to teach or share, what are you waiting for? Launch it before Mars leaves Gemini. Come on, get moving. Take action.</p><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>I'm a professional astrologer who also practices spiritual mediumship and coaching.

One way to find your shadow is to look up the darker side of your Sun, Moon, and Rising Sign. Warning: Your ego will try to deny your shadows. It will take courage to face and integrate your shadow. These descriptions might seem harsh and insulting but the intention if for integrating out shadows and becoming whole.<br /></b></i></p><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>Air Signs (Libra, Gemini, Aquarius)</b></span></p><p>The shadow for the three Air Signs is extreme detachment or the denial of emotions. When I use the term dissociation I'm not using the psychological definition of the word. If you have your Sun, Moon, or Rising Sign in an Air Sign then there is a good chance that you downplay your emotions and repress the emotions of others.</p><p><b>Libras</b> get caught up in cult-like thinking such as Abraham Hicks and the Law of Attraction. They use toxic positivity to suppress high emotions in others. Because Libras need everyone and every situation to remain in balance, this causes the Libra person to detach and then slap a pretty bandage on another person's wounds. They enjoy telling people who are suffering that they created their reality. As if life was that simplistic.<br /></p><p>On one hand, they can't handle other people's darker emotions, but on the other hand, Libra people can delve into dark territory and the project that on to others. If they feel uncomfortable around a topic important to another person, they will either change the topic or call the other person negative and then scapegoat that person. On the shadow side of Libra, these people can't handle their own darker emotions so they might escape into social activity including social drinking. Or they get lost in a relationship that turns co-dependent. One last shadow to mention for Libra is the role of the people- pleaser which combines with the perfectionist. Unfortunately, Bob Dylan said it best, "You can't please all the people all of the time." Sorry, but sometimes life is ugly and you have to show up anyway.<br /></p><p><b>Gemini</b> can talk out both sides of the mouth while pretending to care about a person's well-being and then in the next breath tell the person who is suffering to buck up and show a brave face. Gemini's also gets caught up in their own stories which is a combination of a tragic event in which they played the role of a victim and storybook hero. They repeat the same stories to the point where people don't want to hear about the stories any longer. Or they live in a fantasy world which they try to convince others is real. Sad to say it, but the darker side of Gemini is also mental illness or personality disorders such as narcissism, but those problems can happen with any of the Zodiac Signs.</p><p>Gemini is also guilty of condescending attitudes and they piss people off with their know-it-all stance. They might not be aware of their one upmanship when they put others down to make themselves look smarter. But Gemini people are not alone in this since Aquarius and Libra play by this game too.<br /></p><p><b>Aquarius</b> people don't get off the hook not even during the Aquarius Age. Aquarius people, on their shadow side, escapes into the future. Aquarius is similar to Libra in that people of this sign cannot stand any kind of drama or high emotional states. This sign is opposite Leo which is known for drama and ditto for Scorpio which also thrives on drama (squares Aquarius). But every sign contains its opposite so that means Aquarius can also become dramatic but they project this behavior on to others.</p><p>The other shadow worth mentioning is their aloofness, especially in intimate relationships. Their partners are confused about the status of a relationship. Is it just friendship or something else? Aquarius people can also come across as cold and without human emotions at times. This also confuses others, especially people who are mostly in the element of emotions/water. Aquarius people will also become shocking for the sake of it. They are the masters of shock and the purveyors of the unexpected.<br /></p><p>Remember though we are talking about the shadow side here so we are not including the stellar qualities of any of the Zodiac Signs. </p><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><b></b></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9eHOlsZbuTpVLZOIg6WHa9PplLlsP92UkXVHYNV67HiZ_-INq4oeNr6-TFPzohpXnArkx0lK_EqFOvZaIUCuzjdITj0btVmK4MdAnWvAXMU9tmPAhxtryhBWmaNggTFUFoFDrlNWh9KmGuaivg9X_Wi_60NfLqqQNikYsHqZIjBMFZkFEXisd04Kh/s2048/DSCN0401-EFFECTS.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9eHOlsZbuTpVLZOIg6WHa9PplLlsP92UkXVHYNV67HiZ_-INq4oeNr6-TFPzohpXnArkx0lK_EqFOvZaIUCuzjdITj0btVmK4MdAnWvAXMU9tmPAhxtryhBWmaNggTFUFoFDrlNWh9KmGuaivg9X_Wi_60NfLqqQNikYsHqZIjBMFZkFEXisd04Kh/s320/DSCN0401-EFFECTS.jpg" width="320" /></a></b></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><b><br />Water Signs (Pisces, Cancer, and Scorpio)</b></span><p></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><b> </b><span style="font-size: small;">The shadow that all water signs share is that they are secretive. They also can become invisible and ghost people or they become an unsolvable mystery for their loved ones.</span><b><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><b> <br /></b></span></p><p>The shadow side of <b>Pisces</b> is the addictive personality or mental illness. It's too easy for Pisces to get lost in a romantic fantasy. They can easily become addicted to tarot readings revolving around love. They obsess about an unobtainable love and believe that person is their destiny even if that person is happily married.</p><p>Pisces is susceptible to recreational drugs, drinking, and kinky sex, often involving the feet. They could become addicted to consumerism and have closets filled with shoes they will never wear, but can't help purchasing. Pisces also doesn't want to face reality or the truth of their situation. They might be alcoholic and everyone knows it but them. Or they might be involved in an extramarital affair and rationalize that the other person loves them when they are using them for sex.<br /></p><p>The worse shadow of Pisces is co-dependence and similar to Cancer people they can become clingy or if the other person breaks up with them, they might stalk them, at least on social media. They refuse to let go when a relationship has ended. And they refuse to take responsibility for any mistake they made in the relationship. It's easier to play the role of a victim or a martyr which Pisces does better than any other Zodiac Sign. They are the master of the victim role and if they want to spiritually ascend then they must heal this tendency.</p><p>The shadows of <b>Cancer</b> include control and manipulation. They also are not beyond clinging to another person for dear life and smothering that person. To hide their vulnerable side they might seem grumpy or bitchy on the outside. They think they are tough cookies but other people only see the mushiness they try to hide behind their porcupine quills.<br /></p><p>Cancer has a challenging time living in the present moment. They wax nostalgia and look at the past through rose-colored glasses or they play the role of the tragic queen. Or they suffer anxiety about the future which means they can never enjoy the moment. </p><p>Similar to the other water signs, Cancer would rather act like a victim than to take responsibility for their lack of discernment in a situation. Why take responsibility for their actions when they can get others to feel sorry for them and validate their emotions? But this becomes tiresome for their friends and family members who at some point will just walk away out of frustration. Cancer people need to hone their intuition and listen to it so that they don't end up in dire situations. And Cancer, if you have to cling on to a partner or a friend or use manipulation to keep them around, then they were never your friend in the first place.</p><p><b>Scorpio</b> is mostly known for using their stingers when they feel someone betrayed them. But most of the time no one betrayed them or they were caught in the crossfires of miscommunication. The dark side of Scorpio (and this is the darkest of the Zodiac Signs), is paranoia. It's like they are starring in a Hitchcock thriller and they don't know who they can trust. They trust the wrong people and then take it out on innocent bystanders.</p><p>Scorpio is also secretive and often they ghost people. They can also obsess about creepy mysteries and they love movies with blood and gore. They are not above watching horror movies and watching thrillers. They also like uncovering conspiracies and charging down that type of rabbit hole. They are intense and passionate which can also work against them especially when they get involved with people with mostly Air Signs. Last but not least, Scorpios can use sex as a weapon, especially if they are narcissistic. And if they have children they will use those children to manipulate a partner so that the partner never leaves them or else they can kiss their child good bye. <br /></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><b></b></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWOt_gYpztJk55be0SP1w6_WHfWu4Mz-VUD-uXkAQlI7E8gDlmbJYYrp7N5l_fx6Paf0q3jnd2bb7FU4ucmnP6hibcd-lbr9XhSrGhHGGeqvofyEWaqKc606pTqVeTYGuvQqVikjYRzjNmvfg7gzsDqKCKVdU00PqZSGuIrgPYHO4GJ5yH6Aa45uhL/s1280/wormhole-gd4df30014_1280.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="720" data-original-width="1280" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWOt_gYpztJk55be0SP1w6_WHfWu4Mz-VUD-uXkAQlI7E8gDlmbJYYrp7N5l_fx6Paf0q3jnd2bb7FU4ucmnP6hibcd-lbr9XhSrGhHGGeqvofyEWaqKc606pTqVeTYGuvQqVikjYRzjNmvfg7gzsDqKCKVdU00PqZSGuIrgPYHO4GJ5yH6Aa45uhL/s320/wormhole-gd4df30014_1280.jpg" width="320" /></a></b></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><b><br />Fire Signs (Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius)</b></span><p></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: small;">The qualities the three fire signs share in common is they are bratty, immature, and value their freedom over true connections with others. Then when others are upset with them, they flee to another part of the city or across the globe.</span><b> <br /></b></span></p><p>Similar to Gemini, <b>Aries</b> always has to be right. They also think they know it all and often times they will make fools of themselves to prove a point. But by this time, the person on the other end of the debate has left the room because of Aries' immature behavior. Aries can come off as childish and selfish. They come off as self-centered because they can suck all the air out of a room. When they don't get their way, they throw tantrums or suffer from road rage (remember Aries rules cars).</p><p>If Aries doesn't heal his or her wounds and integrate their shadows, this sign can become violent and destructive. Remember Aries is the god of war. While I didn't mention this with Libra, both Aries and Libra have a tendency to communicate in a passive-aggressive way. Aries can be direct and even ruthlessly direct but most of the time they will beat around the bush as if they are playing some kind of game with others. They have to win at all cost even if that means losing friends.Why should they care?<br /></p><p><b>Leo</b> is another sign that wants what it wants and will do whatever it takes to manifest their desire. They are great showmen and women and the show must go on 24/7 with them. They confuse onstage theater with off-stage drama, even high drama. They storm out of a room leaving people speechless if someone unintentionally insults them. They try to dazzle others with their high beams and instead blind others. They believe Shakespeare's famous words that the world is a stage and we are all players. Except Leo is always the star of the show even when we failed to cast them in that role.</p><p>The shadow of Leo is stubborn and petty, even vicious--think of a lion attack. Don't turn your back on an ambitious Leo or you might be ambushed from behind. On the darkest side of the spectrum, some Leos are grandiose narcissist and they look at others as their servants, even people higher up on the ladder. They feel entitled to the finer things in life even if they don't work for them. They expect handouts but are also too proud to ask when they need help. It's confusing, Leo.</p><p><b>Sagittarius</b> fears being boxed in by others. Why should they make a commitment when they can play the field? The world is so vast and Sagittarius isn't going to stay in one town for the remainder of their lives. They get hives when someone asks them to settle down. Nope, don't box me in, they shout. This sign of the horse or satyr can become drunk and when they drink they come off as a vulgar Jack Nicholson character. They grow their hair long and don't take care of it. They dress sloppy and expect us to care about them. They forget to bathe or they disappear for weeks in a sprinter van only to turn up looking ragged. Or another shadow is to become addicted to recreational drugs or alcohol.</p><p>They're all about freedom for themselves and they'll wax dogma when anyone else asks for freedom, especially religious freedom. The shadow of Sagittarius is bigotry, sexism, and racism. It is intolerance --my way or the highway. When a Sagittarius is coming from their shadow, you cannot win an argument with them. They will cheat, steal and gamble your money (and lose it). And they will not take responsibility. It was your fault for putting your faith in them in the first place. You should have known better.<br /></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><b></b></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYHqLHGF1O6BV-oCfym2V0Sbbjgpf6i7oeGtUbiyIgusUcSdLCHrR_2farTfDxdPd6CpcCtxbwk8spsaBcofftVpI-27i_gUkTGJvve6FuPC3Syv7lqhcr5h-yMwExZFOYeND4Y3aPjXs7GTzkdo1uiTnF9DW4hQDjOvm2RWw0dQmMer8kBdmWHSxF/s1280/mount-rainier-gdfa0a6cfb_1280.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="1280" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYHqLHGF1O6BV-oCfym2V0Sbbjgpf6i7oeGtUbiyIgusUcSdLCHrR_2farTfDxdPd6CpcCtxbwk8spsaBcofftVpI-27i_gUkTGJvve6FuPC3Syv7lqhcr5h-yMwExZFOYeND4Y3aPjXs7GTzkdo1uiTnF9DW4hQDjOvm2RWw0dQmMer8kBdmWHSxF/s320/mount-rainier-gdfa0a6cfb_1280.jpg" width="320" /></a></b></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><b><br />Earth Signs (Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn)</b></span><p></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><b> </b><span style="font-size: small;">The shadows that the earth signs share are greed, ambition, and placing their personal comfort above everyone else. "Let them eat cake, if they're going hungry."</span><b><br /></b></span></p><p>The darker side of <b>Taurus</b> oozes Venusian charm and they talk in a sweet voice laced with venom. Remember that their polar opposite sign is Scorpio. Taurus people might come off as lightness of being and oh, so charming as they stab someone in the back. They too could star in a Hitchcock thriller--think the Perkins character in <i>Psycho</i>. Or think of the prostitute with a heart of gold. Does anyone really believe that the Julia Roberts prostitute character in <i>Pretty Woman</i> was the clean-face innocent girl next door? She was selling her body for sex. Come on. Get real. I doubt their any Cinderella's on Sunset Boulevard hooking customers.<br /></p><p>Other Taurus shadows are pettiness, selfishness, stubborn attitudes, and intolerance towards others who they deem vulgar (hello, shadow Sagittarius). These folks won't budge past their comfort zone and their shadows are overly traditional and old fashion. They have trouble adapting to new situations and no one would call them flexible. They enjoy their creature comforts to the expense of robbing others of a healthy and sustainable life experience. And this shadow is coming from an earth sign who doesn't care about the health of the planet.<br /></p><p><b>Virgo's</b> shadow is scathing and cruel. They become queens and kings of torment, manipulation, and control. They force perfectionism and people-pleasing traits onto their offspring. Then they are disappointed when their children don't measure up to their high standards. They might even drive their children to experience eating disorders and addictions. Or if the Virgo shadow doesn't have any children they will manipulate and control their environment (and the people in it).</p><p>Another shadow for Virgo is the co-dependence dance. They need someone else to depend on them so that they feel worthy. They will do anything to keep that person dependent on them even using manipulation and control. They will criticize the other person to the point where the person loses confidence in themselves or even the will to live. Or Virgo torments themselves into depression. The shadow of Virgo is also restless and suffers from itchy feet. They are never satisfied and will move several times during their lifetime. They also suffer from workaholism. </p><p>The Devil card in the Tarot deck represents our final Zodiac Sign, <b>Capricorn</b>. This sign also suffers from workaholism and climbing up the corporate ladder. They are known as climbers in the Zodiac and they'll step on bodies to get to their destination when they are coming from their shadow. They will use underhanded tactics to make it to the top of their field or they'll cheat on taxes. They'll also rally against those less fortunate than them, "Pick yourselves up by your own bootstraps!"<br /></p><p>Former President Richard Nixon came from his shadow side during the Watergate scandal. Elvis Presley came from his shadow side when he over indulged in food and alcohol. While Saturn and Capricorn are not known for excess this shadow is greedy, selfish, and doesn't care who they hurt on their path to success. But for Capricorns lost in their shadow self, it's lonely at the top so they are likely to suffer from depression and experience the heaviness of life. We might even compare the shadow side of Capricorn to Scrooge. And hopefully, the ghosts of Christmas past, present, and the future shed light on this shadow and release Capricorn from hell.</p><p>It's possible that these shadows will seem overly harsh. I have channeled this message with the best of intentions. We cannot heal ourselves or become whole without acknowledging the ugly parts of our personalities known as the shadow. When we acknowledge our shadows and integrate them we become more conscious and mindful. We become full-blown human beings that are one-hundred percent lovable. But you might need to push your ego out of the way first. BTW, I also have three signs on this list so I have work to do on myself too.

Then 2022 journeyed through revolutionary energies. 2023 brings hope and optimism in a dream state, but it too presents challenging transits such as the square between Jupiter at 0 degrees Taurus and Pluto at 0 degrees Aquarius during the late spring. Yes, Pluto will dip into a new sign in 2023 and Saturn will transit from Aquarius into Pisces. And there's more. Read on. </b></i><br /></p><p>We start off 2023 with three planets going direct. Mercury goes direct at 8 degrees Capricorn on January 18, Mars goes direct at 8 degrees Capricorn (forming an inconjunct with Mercury) and on the 22nd, Uranus finally goes direct at 14 degrees Taurus and on the 30th, Mercury forms an Earth Trine with Uranus getting us on steady footing, well, maybe if we align our thoughts and stay grounded. Jupiter which as picked up speed has arrived back in Aries where it will only remain until May 18th. We will have support from the Earth to stay grounded in 2023 but this might seem overly rigid or stuffy at times.<br /></p><p> </p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Jupiter-Pluto Square </b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b> </b></span><br /></p><p>On May 18th, we experience an exact square between Jupiter at 0 degrees Taurus and Pluto at 0 degrees Aquarius. Pluto transited into Aquarius on March 25 and remains in the sign of the Water Bearer until the planet retrogrades back into Capricorn on June 12th and stays in Capricorn through the remainder of 2023. However, we delve more deeply into the Aquarius Age as we get this Pluto in Aquarius preview. It reminds me of the previews you see at a movie theater or on DVDs. But with Pluto, we see glimpses of what it's 20 year transit that officially begins January 2024 and ends in 2044. Stay tuned.<br /></p><p>The square between Jupiter and Pluto might remind us of the Uranus-Saturn Square which also fell in the signs of Taurus and Aquarius and actually that should read, Saturn-Uranus since Saturn is the fastest moving planet of the two and it forms the square with Uranus. Jupiter is the planet of expansion and is known for bringing gifts and blessings to us. But it can also expand events and situations that are unwanted but in the cosmic journey actually bring us closer to the world we want to inhabit. Pluto rules the underworld and takes no prisoners. Pluto has the darkest energy of the planets but also brings us the most powerful transformation through a death and rebirth process.</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGt2oUb2SmFhQyxIAhsBykH64iZZakvk2Bg5FVC7m9f39rXRQ8MeuEdqij_AjPfnimLO7tOyz0C656s-q-_eSYW-uJFr75Icu2m0pladk03Tezh-q0HgLbJxAQlLPYJB-dVUxV0iei6WRbNtI0OaT2y1yYrBdj_k1INugjrarUUQuT_34dzFRwiAlS/s300/new%20Pluto.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="300" data-original-width="300" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGt2oUb2SmFhQyxIAhsBykH64iZZakvk2Bg5FVC7m9f39rXRQ8MeuEdqij_AjPfnimLO7tOyz0C656s-q-_eSYW-uJFr75Icu2m0pladk03Tezh-q0HgLbJxAQlLPYJB-dVUxV0iei6WRbNtI0OaT2y1yYrBdj_k1INugjrarUUQuT_34dzFRwiAlS/s1600/new%20Pluto.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><br />Pluto breaks down old structures and here it is at 0 degrees of Aquarius so it's looking at bringing integrity to the realms of science and high tech. It might reveal to us a darker future unless we act with integrity because Pluto is going to question the lack of this important attribute mainly in the realms of science and high tech. <p></p><p>Have you ever wondered why so many Aquarius people read science fiction? That's a side note. Don't be surprised if a science fiction blockbuster is on everyone's minds during the spring of 2023 because it will hit too close to the bone. Even people who don't consider themselves science geeks are going to experience goose bumps about this futuristic vision. However, we are always creating our future in the moment so just take the movie's messages as a warning.</p><p> </p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Venus in Leo (RX)</b></span><br /></p><p>Another powerful transit that begins in the spring is Venus transiting into Leo where she will retrograde and remain in the sign of the proud lion until October 9 when she transits into Virgo. Well, Leo rules the heart, gold, and generosity as well as, creativity and children. And Venus rules beauty, our values, our valuables and currencies. Does this mean that investing in gold is a good idea? I don't know. Maybe. Does this mean that we open our hearts to children and each other? Possibly. Since Venus stays in Leo for several months we have ample time to explore the themes of both Venus and the sign Leo. This will be a great time for artists of any discipline so plan to work on a creative project from June until the beginning of October. You can also beautify your own body. You are art too.</p><p> </p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Uranus-Neptune Sextile </b></span><br /></p><p>In August Uranus catches up to Neptune and forms a sextile with a three degree orb and stays within a 5 degree orb (fluctuating) into December. While we don't see an exact sextile I think this could be a wonky transit. I can't recall the last time Neptune and Uranus formed a sextile except for in the 1960s when Uranus was in Virgo and Neptune was in Scorpio, but don't expect me to come up with exact degrees or dates (I don't get paid enough for that type of research).</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTPi36nzcvMPqRdUzWBFw2tR5jIqsB5T9lzntAQir8_JDdTZNXyDNHTtUqCYZs09fQq60eSCVxa7qHCD6boBhuxLkcrw0d9sKindAiv9S59VdT4b6iFVzBSgz1nEBHFIaf4pVdmfMG2PL9saAYajpcMOs8Z2S1e9DhBWEbmvrNr1_UI6MDquQWOT5v/s1280/geometry.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="853" data-original-width="1280" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTPi36nzcvMPqRdUzWBFw2tR5jIqsB5T9lzntAQir8_JDdTZNXyDNHTtUqCYZs09fQq60eSCVxa7qHCD6boBhuxLkcrw0d9sKindAiv9S59VdT4b6iFVzBSgz1nEBHFIaf4pVdmfMG2PL9saAYajpcMOs8Z2S1e9DhBWEbmvrNr1_UI6MDquQWOT5v/s320/geometry.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />This feels a bit like <i>Alice in Wonderland </i>with Neptune's dreamlike state and Uranus bringing sudden awakening. I do feel that more humans can evolve and awaken to higher consciousness during this sextile. But on the negative side we could also see strange movies that disturb us, futuristic visions that frighten us, and more people could become seduced by psychotropic drugs which could lead to irreversible insanity or sudden death as in overdoses. We might also not have our usual grip on reality or what we believe to be reality. Beliefs come under question as does spiritual and religious practices. We could see the emergence of cult leaders as well, on the darker side of this sextile.<p></p><p>Books written and movies produced during this time could shock us with brilliance when they are released for public consumption. We could also witness freakish weather events involving large bodies of water and electrical storms or flash floods with Uranus bringing sudden events having to do with earth and water. We could also use this transit to visualize a better world, especially if we are consistent with this daily practice. With Uranus involved it's hard to say what will manifest.</p><p> </p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Saturn in Pisces </b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b> </b></span><br /></p><p> The final transit I will mention here is Saturn transiting into Pisces (joining Neptune in this sign) on March 9. Saturn will then begin a retrograde in Pisces on June 17 and then go direct in Pisces at 0 degrees Pisces on November 4. While Saturn in Aquarius took us deeper into the energies of the Aquarius Age, Saturn in Pisces assist us in cleaning up the remnants of the Pisces Age. We also bring discipline and patience to the self-healing process. The dark side of this transit is it dissolves structure and this will seem frightening to many people. They will try to hold on to the old unworkable structures which will cause tension and stress. We also see the decline of many governments on the planet, especially if the nation is ruled by Pisces or has a prominent Neptune or Saturn in its Natal Chart. (We will explore Saturn in Pisces at a later date). <br /></p><p> </p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>So, those are a few of the major transits for 2023.

I think the reason for this is a whopping Fixed T-Cross in the chart in which Scorpio provides an outlet.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdttTakvR60TMLlNBBOVkF-Nfc-VD4_PIdzX9Emsain2plPbFmBzvNOVqoPbounASbpVnmr6JiAXDL3nhTVlZ19x1-JxLfR6iseVx6jNGqDStAhxEZw90vyD0b7hs9wZEa-3hG-N7Sen_NmNNUoXaKH1Gihw7cTJBk7B3Dxk9GfrayWINoRiIIk3e5/s1102/Lionsgate%202022.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1102" data-original-width="748" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdttTakvR60TMLlNBBOVkF-Nfc-VD4_PIdzX9Emsain2plPbFmBzvNOVqoPbounASbpVnmr6JiAXDL3nhTVlZ19x1-JxLfR6iseVx6jNGqDStAhxEZw90vyD0b7hs9wZEa-3hG-N7Sen_NmNNUoXaKH1Gihw7cTJBk7B3Dxk9GfrayWINoRiIIk3e5/w271-h400/Lionsgate%202022.png" width="271" /></a></span></div><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">The Fixed T-Cross includes the Sun in Leo, Saturn in Aquarius, and the Uranus/North Node/Mars conjunction with Mars separating. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">However, the T-Cross is offset by a Golden Triangle with Venus in Cancer, Neptune in Pisces and the Taurus conjunction of Mars/Uranus/North Node. So, I do believe this gives us a fork in the road where we can choose a path most congruent with our life path.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Those people on an ascension path are likely to flow with Neptune, Venus, and the grounded energies of Uranus and Mars in Taurus. Even though Uranus is involved, Taurus is a stable sign usually but it requires awakening now and again because we can get stuck our ways or traditions. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">We might plan for a future that actually doesn't suit the new people we have become. And with previous outer planet conjunctions such as the Saturn-Jupiter conjunction, the Saturn-Pluto conjunction, and the Saturn-Uranus square, how could we have not been transformed? And most of us are standing at the entry to a new reality. But will we claim it?</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">As I mentioned in my<a href="https://www.paypal.me/patriciaherlevi"> Inner Circle podcast</a> (Patreon), I see at least two major realities playing out. One is a merging of the high tech industries and conventional medicine/science that leads to a more robotic world, more plastic, and removed from the natural world. The other world I see separating from the robotic one is people connecting to Gaia-consciousness. You couldn't have two worlds more contrasting. And I feel that there are other realms in between these two extremes.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I don't recall who it was but it might have been Steve Nobel who mentioned the two extreme paths years ago and his vision stuck with me. During the pandemic I saw these two worlds expanding with more people wanting to join a homesteading or intentional community while another group embraced the insanity of the high-tech world such as the virtual reality of Meta with Facebook. More people are willing to give up their freedom and privacy so they can live in a futuristic world, yes, fueled by Aquarius. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">However, there is a lighter side of Aquarius which rules cooperatives, intentional housing, living off the grid, and making better use of the water on the planet. Aquarius rules brotherhood and sisterhood, groups, activism, and the grassroots efforts. It's a strange time we live in because Aquarius is more diverse than we originally gave this sign credit. What we do know about the Aquarius Age is some of us opt for authenticity and individuality without getting caught in trends. Aquarius might set trends (so does Pisces) but it will also ditch a trend and move on to the next big thing.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">So, this Lion's Gate Portal can lead us to ascension if we choose to spend some time mucking through the darkness in search of the Truth. The truth hurts sometimes, especially if we have placed our faith in the various industries on the planet whether that the movie industry or the medical industry. A man and I were talking on the bus about how every industry has been corrupted and where do we go from there we asked. It's no use kicking a dead horse, not that anyone would want to do that. If the horse is dead than bury him and move on.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">But how will we survive without our industries? And what about the youth now graduating from universities and looking to join an industry? What will become of them? What will replace the industries? What will we toss out and what will we keep? These are the questions on my mind. I know this, the world we know today won't be the same world we know five year or ten years from now for those of us to remain on the Earth (because many will die or move on in the near future).</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">We desired the Aquarius Age to begin. We have spoken about it for decades and now it's here in all its weirdness and detached drama. And Leo is the opposite sign of Aquarius. So, what does that mean as far as the Lion's Gate Portal?</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">If you have a Taurus, Scorpio, Aquarius, or Leo signature in your Natal Chart, you'll lead the way. But first, you must become more flexible. Neptune in Pisces can help with that and Neptune rules dreams. What do you dream about? What kind of life would you like to live? What is your bigger vision? Hook your star to that vision. The future is unclear because we decide how we will create that future. But first, we must step through the Lion's Gate Portal. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Are you with me?</span></p><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>If you want to help me keep a roof over my head and food in my belly.

Depending on their element and planetary ruler, they push us in different ways. Aries represents Fire and the planet of war, Mars. While all four signs have motivational coaching abilities, Aries is the one that shoves us into new realities. Aries people might seem foolish at times as they head over the cliff with their dog underneath their arm, but they have a sense of humor and a can-do attitude. They won't allow us to get stuck in the doldrums or to hang out on the couch. Life's an adventure and Aries reminds us of that.</p><p>Aries is also the person who steps in when no one else will help us. This is because they like a challenge and they are the emergency response team of the Zodiac. You need a proverbial fire to put out, call on your Aries friends. They won't let you down.</p><p><br /></p><p>The Cancer Sun person pushes us in a different way than Aries. Cancer people surf through emotions and they believe that holistic health comes from exploring ones emotions. Cancer is the healer of the Cardinal Signs and even when they seem annoying they want the best for you. They nurture and nourish their friends. They will cook chicken soup (or vegan "chicken" soup) for their friends who are ill. They will also take care of your houseplants and garden when you're away. Some will even pet sit for you for free. Also, out of the four Cardinal Signs, Cancer rules the home and the mother. They will open their home to you, provided they feel you are safe to be around. Cancerian friends also know how to comfort others, the way they wish others would comfort them. Remember to reciprocate if you don't want a resentful Cancerian ex-friend.</p><p><br /></p><p>Libra friends bring in logic and fairness. They help us make decisions by showing us both sides of the proverbial scale. They don't like to argue, but they will engage in a debate, which they'll often win. They are the friends who invite you to a dinner party so that you can make new friends. Or because Libras are romantic by nature (Venus) they will set you up with people they think are a good match for you. When I think of Libra friends, Jane Austen comes to mind. She was obsessed with relationships and marriage. One last thing about Libra friends, they won't allow us to stay stuck in gloom. They are optimistic and will do everything to lift us out of a dark mood. They believe strongly that our thoughts create our reality. So, stop obsessing about the end of the world, okay.</p><p><br /></p><p>Capricorn friends take a while to get to know. They don't open up to people easily because one, they are more focused on their family of origin or their work. They are super cautious, as are Cancer people. They believe that a life of hard knocks brings us wisdom and experience. So, they will say, "Lift yourself up by your own bootstraps." Yes, those are harsh words to hear when you lost your job or your home. </p><p>This doesn't mean that Capricorn friends will kick you out of their lives. They just want you to put in the efforts to improve your situation. Since Saturn is their planetary ruler and they are a stodgy Earth Sign, they have practical approaches to address your problems. If you're a fay dreamer, this will rub you the wrong way. But don't forget, Capricorn people haven't had an easy life either. They have their own problems which they resolve through hard work. This is the way of the mountain goat. Climb your mountain and achieve success, even if it feels lonely at the top. Once you make friends with a Capricorn, you have a friend for life.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>MUTABLE SIGNS</b></p><p><br /></p><p><b>Gemini--Air, Mercury</b></p><p><b>Virgo--Earth, Mercury</b></p><p><b>Sagittarius--Fire, Jupiter</b></p><p><b>Pisces--Water, Jupiter and Neptune</b></p><p><br /></p><p>Just like the song lyrics by Cyndi Lauper, "Girls just want to have fun," Gemini people enjoy friends who are delightful to be around. They're not party animals, but they love to explore different topics and experiences out of curiosity. They enjoy puzzles, board games, and intellectual challenges. But mostly they enjoy a good conversation with interesting facts (not opinions) tossed into the mix. Some Gemini people desire friendships with metaphysical or magical people. Remember that the The Magician in the Tarot deck is ruled by Gemini. If you want to meet Gemini people, hang out at a radio station, listen to podcast channels where people leave comments, join a forum, join a book club, or take a lifelong learning class at your local community center. I've known many Gemini people in my lifetime (I have Venus and Mars in Gemini) and I've met them through groups, music venues, or online. I've met some through writing groups and conferences.</p><p><br /></p><p>Virgo is the least earthy of the Earth Signs but don't allow that to fool you. Even though Virgos have a quick mind and are often critical of other people's behaviors, they actually have good intentions. They are perfectionists but only to the point where they feel imperfect themselves. They enjoy writing letters to editors and publishing opinion pieces or reviewing products, including music CDs or DVDs. Similar to Gemini, you meet these folks in the realm of communications or entertainment. Or you might meet them through a Reiki circle or group of some kind. You might also meet them through cooking or nutrition classes because they are obsessed with diet. Virgos are dependable and even when they are scathingly critical, they actually don't realize they have hurt your feelings. Knowing this bit of information will preserve the friendship.</p><p><br /></p><p>Sagittarius are one of the two most challenging signs to understand. But once you understand that a Sagittarius person requires loads of space and tons of freedom to explore the planet (and beyond), you can enjoy a friendship with Sagittarius. They are awesome travel buddies or perhaps, they will take you rock climbing or camping in the Rockies. Give a Sag friend the space to share their tall tales and other travel stories. Yes, they are opinionated and they wax on about philosophy or religion or the laws of the land, but if you sit back and listen, you might learn something new. You might change your perspective or perception after spending time with a Sag friend. And while you won't see this person every day of your life (please don't cling to them), when you do spend time with a Sag you'll notice that your mood has transformed and you feel more optimistic about your life. Expand your consciousness, says Sag. And they mean it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Pisces friends need space to mind travel. They want space to meditate and to explore their unique spiritual paths. If you want to meet Pisces people, show up at performing arts events or take music classes. Join a drum or sound healing circle or sign up for a card reading at a local spiritual shop. Chances are your card reader was born under the sign of Pisces. Sign up for a voice or dance lesson or join a yoga class. Similar to Sagittarius, Pisces don't care for clingy people. Freedom means everything to them and that includes the freedom to have their own beliefs, unquestioned by their friends. While you're just as likely to meet a Pisces friend at an AA group, you can also meet them at a Reiki circle or gem and crystal shop. Or perhaps, you just watch a Pisces friend perform original music at a nightclub. Pisces friends will swim in and out of your life. But when the going gets tough, they will show up to help you out. They exude compassion and they enjoy helping the underdog, similar to Cancerians.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>FIXED SIGNS</b></p><p><b>Aquarius--Air, Uranus and Saturn</b></p><p><b>Taurus--Earth, Venus (possibly Ceres)</b></p><p><b>Leo--Fire, Sun</b></p><p><b>Scorpio--Water, Mars, Pluto</b></p><p><br /></p><p>Aquarius friends are another hard nut to crack. On one hand, Aquarius lives in the future and is ten steps ahead of the crowd, but on the other hand, these friends are stubborn. They won't change their fixed opinions no matter what argument against those beliefs you present. They are also an Air Sign so they tend to lean towards seeing life through the mental lens. They prefer logic to emotions. They care more about what you think than what you feel. These friends are also unique in some way and march to a beat of a different drummer which is uncomfortable to be around if you're more conventional or traditional. But Aquarius friends will introduce you to new realms. They're the ones who introduce us to tuning forks and frequencies. They're the first to learn Reiki in a group of friends. They enjoy conversations about star races, the origins of humanity, and finding solutions to loss causes.</p><p>But Aquarius people need their space and they won't always advocate for that. You need to know when to end a conversation and to walk away, allowing Aquarius people to work their ingenuity upon the world. They are humanitarians and see the group as more important than the individual. So, if you're searching for an exciting friend to stick by your side 24/7, choose another Zodiac Sign. Aquarius friends are people you connect with once in a while and you know that your life will be changed in some way after these encounters. Uniqueness is the gift of the Aquarius friend.</p><p><br /></p><p>Taurus people enjoy the creature comforts. These aren't the friends who will want to hang out in a tent on the side of a mountain for several days. They aren't the kind of friends who can live off granola and power bars so that you can go hiking or rock climbing. Camping for these friends revolves around a vacation rental (cottage or cabin) close to eateries and places to relax. They want the finer things in life such as gourmet food but they'll settle for delicious rustic food made by the hands of locals. Taurus people love the arts. They enjoy gardening and joining others to create community gardens. They enjoy making aromatherapy blends and getting a massage. They are wonderful friends to share a spa day with or to take a luxury vacation. They also enjoy shopping for clothing, pottery, and the finer things in life. Don't depress your Taurus friends with shabby gifts. You might like shopping at thrift and discount stores, but Taurus friends find that beneath them. They will act gracious because of their Venus signature but they will stew behind your back. Shabby anything hurts the feelings of your Taurus friends. (Leo also desires the royal treatment from their friends).</p><p><br /></p><p>And speaking for Leo, if you're seeking a true friend from the heart, look no further than this sunny sign. Just make sure that you give them the stage and the spotlight so that they can perform for you. They love to share stories of their adventures and their hard times too. They will motivate you to get creative whether that's solving personal problems or creating art. If you want to engage a Leo friend, do so with color. Dress in colorful clothing. Use vibrant language, and give them gifts from the heart so that they know you thought about them. Invite them to attend a concert or a theatrical performance (Leo rules theater) or go to the newest restaurant in town. Don't forget to dress in your fancy clothing. And always thank a Leo friend when they have shown their generous side. It feels like a privilege to have a Leo as a friend.</p><p><br /></p><p>Scorpio friends are often misunderstood. That's because there are at least two types of Scorpio friends--the ex-friend and the lifelong friend. The ex-friend possessed the lower octave of the sign Scorpio. They might have used their stinger on you or simply cancelled you out of existence. Yes, Scorpio people have a dark and vengeful side. But they also have a sense of humor, they are courageous, and when you have impressed a Scorpio friend they become a healing force in your life. You can talk about shadows and darker topics, even taboo topics, and they don't flinch. They are similar to Persephone in that they traveled to the dark side and through the light in their hearts returned to the present moment unscathed. They are shamans, healers, and powerful transformers. If you don't ruffle their feathers, a Scorpio friend will be there until the end of your life and they might even provide hospice care.</p><p><br /></p><p>Obviously, not all people represented by the 12 Zodiac Signs will match these descriptions 100 percent. These are generalities that I discovered in my own friendships and from ten years practicing as a professional astrologer. I've been a follower of astrology since my youth and yes, I read many astrology cookbooks based on the 12 Zodiac Signs (cookbook is a term used to describe the astrology books that focus on the 12 Zodiac Signs and not cookery).</p><p><br /></p><p><b><span style="font-size: large;">If you would like to read more articles like this one, <a href="https://www.paypal.me/patriciaherlevi">SUPPORT THIS BLOG</a>.

Obviously, Aquarius has been champing on the bit for this new age to begin. And now it's here. But this age representing brotherhood, humanitarians, quirky inventions, energy, and light might not bode well with everyone. So, some of the Zodiac Signs (Water and Earth) need to make adjustments to make the best of this new energy.</b></i></p><p><br /></p><p><b><span style="font-size: medium;">Water Signs</span></b></p><p><b>Cancer--</b>Cancerians have hearts of gold and they believe in helping others. But this introverted sign doesn't bode well with groupthink or groups in general, even if they might lead a group. Cancer Natives are homebodies and they are usually as old fashion as Virgos (another sign that won't enjoy the Aquarius Age). Cancers are among the last people to adapt to new technology and they find the sign of Aquarius to be cold and detached. Aquarius people spend too much in their brains, so Cancerians think.</p><p>Finding a mental health counselor will help Cancerians to rebalance their emotions during the upheaval of the previous age as we move into the new age. Hiring a personal or spiritual coach will also help Cancerians navigate the new terrain where thoughts replace emotions. Some Cancerians will fall into addictive behaviors to avoid the changes happening in the world. All Water Sign people have an escapist tendency (I have my Sun in Cancer and my Moon in Pisces) so I understand.</p><p>Once you rebalance your emotions focus on a single cause where you can make a difference. Don't spread yourself too thin. Take care of your home life and your family while also reaching out to members in your community. Compassion and kindness still matters despite the intellectualism that has taken over the planet. Whatever you do, never detach from your emotions.</p><p><br /><b>Scorpio--</b>You don't enjoy working with Aquarius energy and this energy leaves you feeling tense. You want to dig in your heels instead of traveling into the Aquarius Age. Your feelings and thoughts run deep and while your sign rules transformation and death of the old ways, you don't enjoy the quirky innovations Aquarius brings. Although you don't mind the weird science as long as it is promoted to you in an impassioned way.</p><p>Resist rigidity and stubborn attitudes. But also insist that others express their emotions rather than getting stuck in intellectualism. It's not that you lack intelligence since many Scorpios are geniuses, but your feelings run deeper and your intuition is sharper than most people. Follow your gut instincts when making decisions. And slide past the agendas and slogans (programming) from others. Be your own boss and go with the flow when possible. You also benefit from mental health counseling or coaching during this planetary shift.</p><p><b>Pisces--</b>Oh, it's sad to see the Pisces Age disappear into the mist. Sure, it wasn't perfect, but to be honest, the Pisceans did not birth the patriarchs or the oligarchy. That started with the Aries Age. Although the Aquarius Age heals you from addictions, escapism, and being the scapegoat. </p><p>Use your talents as an energy-healer an empath since you will always have the ability to read people and situations. Remain compassionate and kind while spreading these frequencies in the world through music, dance, and spirituality. And think of it this way, as we end the Pisces Age, many Pisces people have become spiritual masters and superb mediums. Congratulations.</p><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>Earth Signs</b></span></p><p><b>Taurus--</b>You're another sign that is kicking and screaming your way into the Aquarius Age. And with recent transits such as the Saturn-Uranus squares and the eclipses in Taurus/Scorpio, you feel like Persephone plunged into the Dark Night of the Soul. You fear that you'll never enjoy the sensual pleasures again or that you will lose your material assets to a world caught up in groupthink and too many cooperatives. </p><p>You have no choice but to adapt to the changes and shifts occurring. This doesn't mean that you'll lose your property or that the revolutionaries will pound on your door. Get involved in urban or rural farming. Work with the plant or animal kingdoms. Bring earth-based spirituality into the secular world created by Aquarius. Practice energy-medicine on animals and plants. Or become an herbalist and use energy-healing on your plant medicine. The other option is to live in a natural environment and practice shamanism. You might not be able to avoid the cooperative model so find a way you can join with other like-minded people and form your own cooperative on a land trust. Bless the land.</p><p><b>Virgo--</b>Virgo forms an uncomfortable inconjunct with Aquarius. While the two signs share a love for technology, Virgo fears that technology could destroy the Earth or our health. Virgo is also an old-fashion sign in that it wants to re-use and recycle ideas and materials from the past. Virgos are concerned about the future of healthcare and the lack of a healthy home environment given all the changes the world has endured recently.</p><p>Virgo people are excellent energy-healers and personal coaches/trainers. You are also nutritionists and often work in the medical field. As changes happen in the medical field, it is your job to adapt energy-healing and bodywork to new technologies that come into play, such as giving Reiki via a Zoom call. You also have the extra role of cleaning up the pharmaceutical industry and ensuring that plant medicines will remain with us in the years ahead. And why not write a book and teach others how to heal themselves through diet and their daily routine. Communication is key for you.</p><p><b>Capricorn--</b>You're the third old-fashion Zodiac Sign along with Virgo and Cancer. What worries you the most about the Aquarius Age is the changing financial markets. You have worked hard sometimes for decades to earn your assets and you have suffered from hardships so why would you give all that up for a quirky new age? You also don't believe in government handouts because you believe people need to earn their wealth. This Aquarius Age with all its idealism and enforced humanitarianism or political-correctness causes you to suffer from insomnia. Darn if you're going to lose all you worked for because of a few radical thinkers.</p><p>Capricorn you are still a born-leader and you can shape your destiny, as well as, the destiny of others. You are smart not to become trapped in groupthink or to buy into every quirky innovation that comes along. And some of the new inventions won't hold their weight anyway. Stick with what you know for now and teach people alternatives such as how to use analog devices, to grow their own food, and to tend to Mother Earth. Start a retreat center and teach yoga or become a personal trainer or nutritionist. Share your practical brilliance with the planet.</p><p><br /></p><p><b><span style="font-size: medium;">Air Signs</span></b></p><p><b>Aquarius--</b>You're riding high during the Aquarius Age. Suddenly, you're in the forefront of every industry and people are waiting for you to share your innovations with them. Your conspiracies appear to be truth (what a scary thought) and you're no longer considered the weirdo in the Zodiac Wheel. You play the song, "Age of Aquarius" on the latest device and you celebrate that we're now living on a planet that resembles episodes of <i>Star Trek</i>. But wait, Aquarius. Don't toss out every idea that came from previous ages and don't prevent others from experiencing their real and raw emotions. This is not a time to detach and get caught in the machinations of the mind. It's time to heal cognitive distortions and mass psychosis.</p><p>Whatever you do, don't act smug towards the other 11 Zodiac Signs. We aren't inferior to you. It's better that you focus on your initiation into this new age. That's right. With squares between Saturn and your planet, Uranus (Saturn is the classical ruler for Aquarius too) and the eclipses in Scorpio and Taurus, you still need to practice compassion and kindness. </p><p>Don't over intellectualize others or force people to adopt your politically-correct agenda. While Aquarius probably invented communism and socialism, let's not forget about personal freedom including the personal freedom to own stuff like property and homes. Remember that the Russian Revolution only benefited a small group of people and only for a short time before the oligarchs returned to power under a different guise. Don't fall for that trap.</p><p><b>Gemini--</b>As a fellow sign to Aquarius, you like this new age of ideas and innovations. You enjoy the lack of emotional depth. You find that your skills as a communicator and educator are sought after. You also benefit others through your coaching skills. Those of you who work with your hands via a trade such as instrument-making or carpentry can still hone your craft. Design tiny or small houses. Make sound healing instruments or design clothing for all-weather because we're going to endure strange weather going forward.</p><p>Your role is still as the communicator. And city planning or neighborhood designing skills come in handy too. In fact, you'll adapt well to this new age as long as you don't get caught up in your brain. Don't overthink and hone your intuition. You must stay heart-centered for best results.</p><p><b>Libra--</b>You get along well with Aquarius energy because Aquarius also stands up for justice. The difference though is that you stand up for justice through peaceful ways. Aquarius tends to lean towards revolutions and sometimes bloodshed. Your role is to teach Aquarius people mindfulness and to become peace-keepers. Your role is to help us all stay in balance between our heads and our hearts. And also to balance our masculine and feminine sides rather than to throw out one side in favor of another.</p><p>Libra people provide coaching and counseling for people struggling with the shifting of ages. You are excellent meditation and yoga instructors. But there are many roles you can play, including work in the legal system.</p><p><br /></p><p><b><span style="font-size: medium;">Fire Signs</span></b></p><p><b>Aries--</b>Your main problem during the Aquarius Age, or at least the beginning of it, is Chiron in Aries has you fired up for a bloody revolution. You see others as a form of target practice. While you believe in human rights in general, you place your personal rights above the rights of a community or group. Your motto is "me first." Sometimes you leave no room for negotiations unlike your opposite sign, Libra. If there's a battle going on, you're first in line to join even if you haven't considered both sides of the issue.</p><p>Aries, please heal your shadow issues before moving forward in this new age. That's why Chiron is in Aries at this time. Cool your jets and after considering everyone involved in this planetary shift, then teach us courage. Only after you passed the initiation will you lead the crowd to victory over the darkness that engulfs the planet.</p><p><b>Leo--</b>Aquarius energy opposes you and you fear that you'll lose your authentic voice in a world of general consensus. You don't want Aquarius energy hogging the stage and its talk about revolutions. You don't have time for that when your role on the planet is to spread creativity and to share your voice with the world (mainly through the fine and performing arts). You long to be different and stand out from the crowd instead of appearing in uniforms straight out of the Chinese Cultural Revolution. </p><p>We are thankful for your outspokenness, Leo. We are grateful for your creativity and your love of children. Keep writing books and making movies that inspire us to open our hearts. Many of you will be working as heart specialists and surgeons in the upcoming years. The Aquarius energy unfortunately also brings us an epidemic of heart attacks and strokes. Take care of your own hearts and brains, Leo. Eat healthy, exercise, and find a healthy outlet for your emotions.</p><p><b>Sagittarius--</b>Did someone say, "freedom"? If any sign sees eye-to-eye with the Aquarius Age, it's the free-spirit Sagittarius. Similar to Pisces, Sagittarius likes to roam the Earth fancy-free and doesn't place too much values on material goods. However, Sagittarius is the philosopher in the Zodiac Wheel and no one tells a Sag what to think or how to feel. Sag also doesn't like any restrictions such as where he or she can travel or live out their destiny. And censorship is a no-no too since Sag speaks their mind.</p><p>Sag continue to be a free-thinker and don't join the groupthink movement. Continue to fight for our freedom such as the freedom to express our minds and to follow our hearts. Share your sense of humor with us because this is not an easy adjustment from the age of a water sign to the age of an air sign. Help us to continually expand our minds and our hearts as well as, to pursue our passions.</p><p><br /></p><p><b><span style="font-size: large;">If you require assistance navigating the Aquarius Age, <a href="https://metaphysics4everydayliving.com/whole-astrology-readings/">sign up for an astrology session</a> with me.

While I don't forecast this volcano from erupting in 2022, I do expect Mount Rainier erupting in May 29-30 or November 8, 2022 (Lunar Eclipse in Taurus). And the markers I'm using are the Mars-Jupiter conjunction that happens on May 29 and 30, 2022 as well as, Uranus in Taurus and Saturn in Aquarius. The marker for November 8 is the Taurus Lunar Eclipse (I won't be showing the chart in this article for brevity sake).</b></i></p><p><i><b><br /></b></i></p><p>For the sake of this article, I have created a synastry chart with Mount Saint Helen's and Washington State. I would not be able to create a chart for Mount Rainier since I don't have a date of an event like I do with Mount Saint Helen's (the eruption of May 18, 1980). I also created a Washington State transit chart for May 29, 2022. But what I'd like to do if I had more time would be to revisit the two earthquake charts I have for Washington State for the years 1965 and 2001. </p><p>Let's start with a look at Washington State which I find is a chart with dark energy and not just because of the Scorpio Sun. Washington State founders had blood on their hands (they murdered the indigenous people). They had no problems desecrating the forests of trees which they called lumber or the emptying the rivers of fish. And later, even more entrepreneurs would cause other destruction such as unaffordable housing, a homeless crisis, and frightening corporate leaders not only out to conquer the Earth and control populations but to skyrocket into outer space.</p><p>Washington State was also where the darkest pop-rock music derives as in grunge music with its cynical lyrics and power guitar. Back in the 1980s, you weren't cool unless you dressed completely in black clothing and wore the right kind of leather jacket. But I digress. This is a state where mental depression and drug use are always a problem (look at Port Angeles for example). And despite the beauty of the San Juan Islands, the North Cascades, and the Olympic Mountains, not to mention the sea, Washington State is dark most of the year with heavy clouds weighing on the shoulders even of the most optimistic people.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgI3IJAsGwe5nHZiINKAmIJQ4Mv3pQhNgYrjjwOnfy26Qi7nE62SXqcsyceg65m-PweLUrL0ZkOmxUNqFpB0rvKG9LK0GWnYrydIjf2X4FQVg7Ehu-sN4Vzpq1YTK17upQQKDkZdPtY7_IRv7Y3QTTw79NiU7XC1MwSZbeRnJKxkXY4Vx-xk1e2ONvQ=s1102" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1102" data-original-width="748" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgI3IJAsGwe5nHZiINKAmIJQ4Mv3pQhNgYrjjwOnfy26Qi7nE62SXqcsyceg65m-PweLUrL0ZkOmxUNqFpB0rvKG9LK0GWnYrydIjf2X4FQVg7Ehu-sN4Vzpq1YTK17upQQKDkZdPtY7_IRv7Y3QTTw79NiU7XC1MwSZbeRnJKxkXY4Vx-xk1e2ONvQ=w271-h400" width="271" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p>Despite having three planets (Uranus, Venus, and Mars) and two asteroids in Libra, having the Sun and Mercury in Scorpio in the 6th House of health and the daily environment brings in the darker elements. But the darkest element of all is a conjunction between Neptune and Pluto in Gemini that falls in the 12th House (secrets, death) near the Gemini Ascendant. When I saw this conjunction I felt chills up my spine. I still have not shaken it off.</p><p>Pluto represents the Lord of the Underworld or Death. Neptune rules how we delude ourselves, prisons, drugs, pharmaceuticals, biotech, and hospitals. Yes, it can also represent yoga, spirituality, meditation, healers, dreams, and the intangible in its higher octave. Pluto can also represent mining, power grabs, and narcissism when combined with Neptune. I don't like this element at all. But Pluto can also represent a spiritual awakening after a Dark Night of the Soul.</p><p>We have Aquarius on the MC which can represent technology (yes, we have that here), innovation (this has occurred), group think, grassroots groups, and entrepreneurs, especially ones who work with technology. Washington State also boasts an astrology college which is ruled by Aquarius. I like that aspect. Jupiter in Capricorn can also represent out of control entrepreneurs. And I have nothing against entrepreneurs since I am one myself. But this combination is more of the gold digging variety which leads to exploitation of the land and everyone on it. This is a morphogenetic field that requires cleansing and I have been telling people this in the spiritual communities for decades. But is anyone listening? </p><p>The original inhabitants of the region were Indigenous and they did experience massive earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions. These were devastating to those people. And now the sleeping mountains are preparing to transform the landscape once again and this could happen hundreds or thousands of years from now or as soon as 2022, if my spirit guides are correct. Even on the South Whidbey Island Fault (which is only 13 miles away from the place where I'm typing this article) has been emitting methane gas and that's not a good sign as far as an earthquake in the future.</p><p>When we think back to 1980s and Mount Saint Helen's eruption, the mountain only gave us two month's warning when activity was first reported in March of 1980. And while I was in the northern part of the state, we still felt that eruption rock the earth. And we experienced the ash fallout too as did many states. Oddly, the researchers were watching Mount Baker at that time thinking that it was going to erupt, but no, the silent giant in the southwest portion of Washington was the one to surprise us.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is the chart for Washington State and Mount Saint Helen's.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEh6M0j983-0evHy4JmSpcs-gkB8QJ56nH_HLNazWuPybq1dmA8jxVtYmlN6swZMMoiQYp6KIlAK9a39TGQ0PDnJci3gaLg_r6sDFwBrSxsyS6bqC4JcV6_rJQRNxAN9nkXJB9OljTd6tOYnGx1WfzOxYlt6Kg0IougvJI4TSXARDYg4yWG_YAYubmRO=s1102" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1102" data-original-width="748" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEh6M0j983-0evHy4JmSpcs-gkB8QJ56nH_HLNazWuPybq1dmA8jxVtYmlN6swZMMoiQYp6KIlAK9a39TGQ0PDnJci3gaLg_r6sDFwBrSxsyS6bqC4JcV6_rJQRNxAN9nkXJB9OljTd6tOYnGx1WfzOxYlt6Kg0IougvJI4TSXARDYg4yWG_YAYubmRO=w271-h400" width="271" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The inner chart represents Mount Saint Helen's and the outer rim represents Washington State. The Moon was in Cancer in both charts. And because this event happened during Taurus Season, the eruption chart has the Sun in Taurus opposite the Washington State Sun in Scorpio. Scorpio represents what's beneath the earth and Taurus can represent the Earth and Mother Nature. And Washington's Sun is conjunct the mountain's Natal Uranus, which is the planet of sudden events. I also think of Uranus, the North Node, Mars, and Jupiter indicators for an eruptive or violent event. A Pluto placement when triggered by a faster moving planet can also cause eruptions or explosions.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Our current transits have a dominant Fixed quality with Saturn in Aquarius, Uranus in Taurus, the North Node in Taurus, the eclipses this year in Taurus and Scorpio. May and November are the months of Taurus and Scorpio. But even more important, on May 29 and 30, Mars and Jupiter conjunct exact in the fiery sign Aries (the ruler of Mars!)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Mount Saint Helen's chart has the North Node, Mars, and Jupiter in alignment even though the North Node is in Leo and Mars, Jupiter (and Saturn) are in the Earth Sign Virgo. What I'm mostly focused on is Mars and Jupiter in a conjunction (even though it is not exact) and it is not in the sign of Aries, like this year's Mars and Jupiter. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Also, the North Node is in Taurus and not near the Mars-Jupiter alignment in the May 29 chart for Washington State transits. However, Jupiter will emphasize and exaggerate any violent or explosive energy contained with Mars in Aries. And Uranus is in an Earth Sign bringing sudden and possibly earth-shattering, if not transforming events. And Saturn which is naturally ruled by Capricorn and Aquarius is in Aquarius which also rules Uranus. (I realize this is getting confusing, but bear with me).</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Finally, let's look at one more chart which shows the transits for Washington State on May 29, 2022. I'm sorry but I didn't pull a chart for November 8, 2022, the day of the Taurus Lunar Eclipse but it is also a significant possibility for a volcanic eruption.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEi0mEPnvXwk6k2LG93WAe1Lv10cDOmCEzj8q9ua08FEzOZ01KWJUB2rgh7lBfRZH7T0BdbRySD4OoaLaYmkFSuELhw2xlG4RP4pjDaa56BpkrkOdVsGUu9Z2bvkYbMwo-RUnBXYqovnlQdXHSfO9o4k1YPBOWDHNicisrOoKuiJQF56XB5M9TPLSoM2=s1102" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1102" data-original-width="748" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEi0mEPnvXwk6k2LG93WAe1Lv10cDOmCEzj8q9ua08FEzOZ01KWJUB2rgh7lBfRZH7T0BdbRySD4OoaLaYmkFSuELhw2xlG4RP4pjDaa56BpkrkOdVsGUu9Z2bvkYbMwo-RUnBXYqovnlQdXHSfO9o4k1YPBOWDHNicisrOoKuiJQF56XB5M9TPLSoM2=w271-h400" width="271" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>On May 29, 2022, we have Venus, the Moon, Mercury, and Uranus in Taurus. The Moon opposes Washington's Natal Sun. But the entire stellium in Taurus opposes Washington's Sun and Mercury in Scorpio. Saturn in Aquarius squares Washington's Sun. That alone which involves the South Node in Scorpio and the North Node in Taurus with Uranus also in Taurus alerts us to a large event involving the earth in Washington State (might even be large earthquake). The City of Oak Harbor has its Sun in Taurus, for example (someone could explore that angle).<div><br /></div><div>Then we add the Mars and Jupiter in Aries conjunction. Mars = violence and fire while Jupiter brings in the expansiveness. Jupiter doesn't do anything small because Jupiter represents big events. No matter what occurs on this day, it's going to rock the world and it will involve an unexpected event and even a shocking event. I do believe this is an earth event.</div><div><br /></div><div>Obviously, this is not an in depth gaze at any of the charts. I encourage other astrologers to take these charts and to work with them. See what comes up for you. Based on the guidance Spirit is giving me and who led me to create the charts in the first place and who led me to these exact dates, I'm leaving Washington State.</div><div><br /></div><div>I was born and raised in Washington State. I lived in Seattle for 21 years and in other communities in Western Washington. I was a member of the literary and music scenes in Seattle. I thought I had roots in this state but became fed up with the housing market during the past decade. What I can tell you, is that greed rules more than kindness in this state. I'm not saying there aren't kind and considerate people in Washington State because there are many healers, spiritual teachers, and great artists here. But I can say that many of my friends from the past relocated to other parts of the US and even abroad. Did they know something I didn't?</div><div><br /></div><div>This situation reminds me of the Titanic and how the devastation could have been prevented if the captain had hubris. Greed and corruption not to mention genocide of the Indians created destructive morphogenetic fields in Washington and elsewhere. And of course, we also need to consider that the Earth is a conscious being who as it was comically put to me rearranges her furniture from time to time. If you look back far enough in time this continent didn't even exist. We as humans are merely visitors on this living planet. Perhaps, the New Earth will be born from volcanic eruptions and earthquakes, who knows?</div><div><br /></div><div>I feel like this eruption whether it's Mount Rainier like I've seen in my visions or another volcano in Washington State is a done deal. It's not something humans have control over. What we do have control over is to hone into our intuition and follow our gut. We can be like the animals who sought higher ground when the Tsunami hit Indonesia and India years ago. We can be like the animals who fled the forest when the fires were on the way.</div><div><br /></div><div>Even if you were to survive a major earthquake or volcanic eruption you might wish you had died instantly. All the hope and the optimism in the world fades when no food or clean water arrives and everyone is living in tents amongst the rubble and breathing in ash in the case of a volcanic eruption. And not seeing the sky for days, weeks, or months would also be unhealthy and depressing.</div><div><br /></div><div>Perhaps, none of this will happen. Perhaps, these crucial days and transits will pass and we'll get on with business as usual. But I'm not taking that chance. My life means more to me than that. Granted, I'm an intuitive astrologer and not a mundane astrologer. But I see the writing on the proverbial wall and I've seen it for many years. <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><br /><p><br /></p><p><br /></p></div>Esoteric Artisthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04219823043729793035noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1042024586202676171.post-18809146463877428632022-02-09T18:41:00.002-08:002022-02-09T18:41:13.622-08:00Podcasting on Locals.com<p> Check out my podcasts on the Astrology with Sass community.

The movement happening in Canada rising out of the working class (truck drivers and farmers) has the potential to unify and bring transparency for the provincial, city, and federal government bodies.</p><p>While mainstream media for the most part tells bold lies and exaggerates aggressive people who showed up at the protests but are not part of the convoy or peaceful protestors. What's truly happening on live cameras and on YouTube channels is remarkable to watch for anyone who can unglue their eyes from the lurid fake news on their television screens. I actually feel hopeful that the Canadian populace will pull off this overturn of their leadership.</p><p>Let's first look at the chart for Canada with current transits.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjFI1LQYxEvDCD6Qkw47ttK_kfCByPAAS7EVLTV1Hw0ZeJfdxbfZacx6UtAJEtw1QSg2XwAg46ISwe87nY1DKTNd9A15mdwkWwRFHESxsJZp0_q7wly-lotGRQZDDIxLbT1VT9qYxuUrqe4G5U5xTon6t-cPU9LRstO150gCOTigR3Yx0xK4kbY9lkH=s1102" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1102" data-original-width="748" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjFI1LQYxEvDCD6Qkw47ttK_kfCByPAAS7EVLTV1Hw0ZeJfdxbfZacx6UtAJEtw1QSg2XwAg46ISwe87nY1DKTNd9A15mdwkWwRFHESxsJZp0_q7wly-lotGRQZDDIxLbT1VT9qYxuUrqe4G5U5xTon6t-cPU9LRstO150gCOTigR3Yx0xK4kbY9lkH=w271-h400" width="271" /></a></div><br /><p>The 8th House represents power, power structure, and other people's resources. Pluto is in Taurus in the 8th House (the natural ruler of this house is Scorpio and Pluto is at home in this house but not in the sign of Taurus). The North Node and Uranus are traveling towards Pluto at 15 degrees Taurus. They are coming from opposite directions. Uranus is currently at 10 degrees gaining momentum in a forward direction. The North Node backtracks through a sign and is at 27 degrees Taurus.</p><p>Uranus represents the awakeners and the revolutionaries. The North Node represents fate and where Canada is heading. On May 22, Uranus will form an exact conjunction with Canada's Natal Pluto which is at 15 degrees and 45 minutes. This is right after the Sun transits into Gemini. And 11 days earlier, Jupiter moves out of the compassionate and forgiving (Unity Consciousness) Pisces into Aries (a warrior) where it will stay until the 29th of October. Jupiter expands what it touches for good or bad. Aries can also represent new beginnings for the country.</p><p>The North Node reaches 15 degrees and 45 minutes (Canada's Natal Pluto degree) on August 30. The Sun will be in Virgo, Jupiter in Aries, and four of the outer planets will be retrograde. This is a type of reassessment and analysis. It's a clean-up crew time and it won't be an easy passage. The Unity Consciousness of Jupiter in Pisces will have already waned and any planets transiting in Virgo (Mercury and the Sun) will become hypercritical. With the retrograde planets there is a gaze at past mistakes.</p><p>Currently, Jupiter in Pisces transits in the 5th House. Will artists, spiritual people, athletes, and musicians join the movement? What will they contribute as far as art for solidarity? Will they host fundraisers for the truckers and the farmers? Religious organizations will also give their support with this aspect. </p><p>Meanwhile, Neptune transits through the 6th House of service, health, and daily routines. These areas can feel clouded over and disorienting as it's hard to keep one's roots in the ground when they are living out of trucks and their daily routine has been unhinged as they are fighting mandates that are "health-related." The 6th House can represent the healing professions and healthcare so will healers lend their services to the protestors?</p><p>But what's grabbing my attention the most when I gaze at this transit chart for Canada are the progressed planets in a cluster in the 3rd House of communication. These planets are in Sagittarius and Scorpio which is an odd combination. The planets in Scorpio dig deeper for information and reveal secrets and scandals. The Sagittarius planets look forward towards a brighter future and infuse optimism in the Canadian people.</p><p><br /></p><p><b><span style="font-size: medium;">My Personal Synastry with Canada</span></b></p><p><b><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></b></p><p>The second chart I'm sharing is a synastry chart between me and Canada. For whatever reason, my destiny is intertwined with Canada. I'm sure I experienced past lives in Quebec and probably other regions as well. I also have met many gracious Canadians over the decades who hosted me in their homes (Vancouver and Ontario), who granted me interviews for their music and movies, and have generally shown me kindness.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhmn3MnoHaWsafSIGUKbAF4BgCh_FG-cupJ_1oVmjSSgGv98y6psT2dncYHQRnKlOC9czWjhT9UMBACKLI2LCisAcjJiC5vCx9pZVrzFQ1zRZLx1Yb6RQN3jpfaq4R1tbSWPFWesfX_F0_icMxz6ulMYK-GIezCB5uztqtBc_YWgqCqZ1QNVsAWETXQ=s1102" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1102" data-original-width="748" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhmn3MnoHaWsafSIGUKbAF4BgCh_FG-cupJ_1oVmjSSgGv98y6psT2dncYHQRnKlOC9czWjhT9UMBACKLI2LCisAcjJiC5vCx9pZVrzFQ1zRZLx1Yb6RQN3jpfaq4R1tbSWPFWesfX_F0_icMxz6ulMYK-GIezCB5uztqtBc_YWgqCqZ1QNVsAWETXQ=w271-h400" width="271" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The outer rim with the red symbol represents Canada's Natal planets. Canada and I share a Cancer Sun. I was born on June 29 and Canada celebrates its national birthday on July 1. That means my Sun and Canada's Sun are in a conjunction by synastry. We clearly identify with each other (even though I get harassed at immigrations at the US-Canada border).</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Canada's Uranus/Moon/Sun also fall near the end of my 6th House and conjunct my Natal Mercury in my 7th House. This means I could have a Canadian life partner and I have friendships with Canadians who I meet either in my daily work environment (I write for Canadian publications and I have worked with astrology clients from Canada). I also meet many Canadians who are healers or somehow involved with healthcare or who have pets. These are all related to the 6th House. The Uranus for Canada signifies that Canada prefers the quirky side of me and otherwise would find me boring.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Canada's North Node (fate) and Mars (drive and passion but also danger) fall in my Natal 8th House. This could (if I'm not careful) draw violence to me if I were to act like an arrogant or power-hungry person. This could also represent car accidents so I must be careful with vehicles or driving in Canada. Canada's Mars also ignites the hidden power in my Natal Uranus and Pluto which could lead to empowerment and spiritual awakening. For Canadians, they might act overly cautious around me when they first get to know me because of that Pluto energy. But the other side of that is Canada's Mars wears me out and I have trouble sleeping while I visit Canada, especially Vancouver which is ruled by Aries.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Canada's Saturn and Ceres fall on my 10th House of the public and career. It's funny because as far as food and agriculture go, despite the higher prices of food in Canada, I never go hungry because others feed me when I'm visiting the country. I do end up complaining about the high cost of food though and I see why Canadians head south across the border to buy their groceries.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">In 1997 I was accepted to attend the Vancouver Film School but I was unable to come up with the funds to pay the tuition and housing cost to stay in Canada for nine months of schooling. But in 1986, I attended a university exchange program in Ontario for nearly four months. All this as a side note since schooling does not pertain to the 10th House. It pertains to the 9th House in the astrological chart.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><i><b><span style="font-size: medium;">There is more the synastry which I'm not going to get into because my shoulders are tight and I want to stop typing now.

And the last ten years flew by during a momentous time in history.</i></b></p><p>And while I wanted to retire from astrology numerous times because it's not easy to make a living interpreting planets in a world filled with astrologers, the crazy planetary transits kept me too intrigued to hang up my hat.</p><p>My astrology practice has never been simple or easy. And for the entire decade that I've practiced astrology with clients, Pluto has been hanging out in my First Natal House bringing transformation into my life. I experienced homelessness, I experienced relocation, I experienced lessons learned from narcissistic abusers, and I learned to find joy no matter my life circumstances. I also became certified in Reiki, sound therapy, angel therapy and other modalities. And I rescued a dog and found him a loving home where he has thrived. I met amazing people, some of who have remained friends.</p><p>Dark Night of the Soul, well, I took that journey too along with my clients. One day in 2013, I felt the energies of the ten planets in my body and I've communicated with spirits thus launching another endeavor of spiritual mediumship. It's funny because when I began this blog and helping clients in 2012 I was a regular listener of Hay House Radio and I took my cues from Baby Boomer astrologers such as Liz Greene and Steven Forrest. For my first two years, I gleaned my knowledge from astrology tomes and not from personal insights. How times have changed!</p><p>And I can say that this has been the wildest ride of my lifetime devoting a portion of my times to understanding the planets and the language of astrology. I want to thank all the brave souls who signed up for reading with me. Thank you also to those readers of my blog articles. Thank you to those of you who have shared my articles and YouTube videos (Astrologer Patricia) with your friends and colleagues. Thank you to followers and subscribers who put your faith in me, not a well-known astrologer. You saw something in me and I appreciate that.</p><p>While none of us can really predict the future (too many timelines to consider), here's hoping for another exciting year of planetary transits and the evolution of the planet Earth, otherwise known as the Spaceship Earth.</p><p>Would anyone be interested in me reposting some of the older and more popular blog posts?
