Monday’s Full Moon in Virgo

“What seas what shores what grey rocks and what islands
What water lapping the bow
And scent of pine and the woodthrush singing through the fog
What images return
O my daughter.” T.S. Eliot
The Moon waxes full Monday at 3 degrees of Virgo. With the Sun very close to the planet of the sea god Neptune this is a time for dreams as well as a time of increased emotion and intuition.
The Moon is Virgo opposes the Pisces Sun bringing the need for practicality in the picture. Entertain ideas about how to make your visions real and sustainable. Do take a look at the patterns which hold you back. Patterns that have an addictive quality to them are ruled by Neptune. And sometimes the familiar is chosen over the unknown for the sake of comfort and familiarity even when there is a high level of dissatisfaction with it.
The veils are thin at this time and guidance is available from higher beings. One of the Sabian symbols for this time is, “Two guardian angels bringing protection.”

Mercury and Venus enter Aquarius

“The ancient Greeks had two words for time, chronos which refers to chronological time, and kairos, which signifies a ‘time in between’ when something magical can happen. ” Clare Martin
Last week a client who is an attorney in the Bay Area contacted me for a reading. Her car had been stolen and she was wondering if there was a possibility she might get it back.
The car had been parked outside her home on the street in San Francisco. Earlier in the day she had walked to an appointment and on her way home she was startled to see a car exactly like hers drive by. The car was not easy to replicate given the model, year and roof rack but the one that drove by was identical.
She told me, “I thought for a moment – OMG has my car been stolen?”
But she said it was not hers- the license plate was not the same- and when she arrived home her car was parked outside her house.
Three hours later though it was gone.
This week Mercury and Venus enter the sign of Aquarius. Many occult beliefs have spoken about the time in which we live and how personal and planetary evolution will occur through the use of the untapped powers of the mind. This is part of what the dawning of the Age of Aquarius is about.
The sign of Aquarius governs innovative, futuristic and visionary thinking. With awareness information can come to us in many forms. It is wise now to heighten awareness and be attentive to information which may come through unconventioneal means.
And did she get the car back? Yes. And did the reading indicate she would? The reading indicated that it was likely she would get the car back and if she did and it was in good shape she should consider trading it in because had an underlying problem and was going to need some major work soon. She concurred saying the car was aging and she had been concerned about the likelihood of mounting repair bills. She also decided – despite the inconvenience -to keep the car parked in her garage,

Chiron and Mars

“Sometimes you’ve got to let everything go -purge yourself. If you are unhappy with anything… whatever it is bringing you down, get rid of it. Because you’ll find when you’re free, your true creativity, your true self comes out.” Tina Turner
 
Chiron -the asteroid of the Wounded Healer – is a very strong influence in the sky now bringing to the forefront – both personally and globally- the need to move away from the past and the way things have been done in the past. Mars the planet of energy and drive is involved and indicates that although there is strife and conflict in the process, there is significant will and drive to overcome obstacles.
One of the Sabian symbols for this influence is,” The purging of the priesthood.”

New Moon in Aquarius

“Many hands make light work” John Heywood
February’s New Moon is Monday the 8th at 19 degrees of Aquarius. This New Moon provides excellent timing to commit or recommit to important goals or initiatives that may have stalled out during the month of January. The sign of Aquarius speaks of the enlightened collaborator. It is a good time for strengthening bonds with people and organizations that share your aspirations.
There can the tendency towards impulsiveness at this time but it is better to commit to incremental, slow, steady steps to get where you want to go.
One of the Sabian symbols associated with this New Moon is, ” A large white dove bearing a message.” Another is, “A parrot listening and then talking repeats a conversation he has overheard.”
In this time of information and opinion overload it is wise with the influences to consider how you listen, who and what you are listening to and the authenticity and quality of what you are saying.

February as the New January

“Central to the art of leading a magical life is the task of weeding our garden, choosing which thoughts we want to blossom. Mercury’s discriminatory function reminds us to monitor our thoughts in regard to how they make us feel.’ Caroline W Casey
There is a lot of talk in the astrological community about how this year “February is the new January.”- a quote from Kelly Surtees in reference to New Year’s intentions which often are set on or around Jan 1. This year better timing for getting off to a good start with intention setting occurs on the New Moon of February 8.
Mercury’s retrograde transit in January as well as the conjunction with Pluto have both indicated a time of review or a time of rethinking how you use your mind and your thoughts rather than a time of proceeding with a new agenda. So if you have felt disheartened, February’s New Moon brings a new start.
This week as Mercury slowly moves out of Pluto’s territory and Venus finishes up her dance with Pluto after the 6th , things will begin to lighten up as they both move towards a good alignment with Jupiter – the planet of expansion and optimism.

Notes on the Week Ahead

“Let me
resign my life for this life, my speech for that unspoken,
The awakened lips parted, the hope, the new ships.” TS Eliot
If you have been feeling stuck the beginning of the upcoming week is a good time to get moving again. There is a beneficent Mars/Pluto aspect – harness this energy to get more energized and focused.
Venus in Capricorn is moving up to a conjunction to Pluto. This influence bodes well for getting in touch with what you feel passionate about in the present and building a strong foundation for it going forward. It is also a good time to get clear on financial endeavors- to make a plans and to get organized. Start with small, steady, pragmatic steps.
With Jupiter conjunct the North Node do heed any messages that come now that point a direction forward to the future you would like to see. These messages can be as small as improvements to your diet and daily schedule or they can more specifically point the way to the manifestation of a long sought after goal or vision.

Chiron in Pisces

“We have this way of talking, and we have another.
Apart from what we wish and what we fear may happen,
We are alive with other life, as clear stones
Take form in the mountain. “Rumi
 
We are living in transformative times –  with the Pluto/Uranus contact coming around again as it did in the Sixties. In many areas of life we see a push for a new evolutionary direction which faces significant backlash. Mistrust of the government, banking industries, religious institutions and large institutions in general is on the rise. Politics is fragmented.
Something new is trying to be born.
Times like these can stir up fear and as Robert Sardello wrote in his book, Freeing the Soul rology forecastfrom Fear, “fear causes fragmentation.”
Chiron the asteroid of the Wounded Healer is in Pisces now indicating a time when the healing of fragmentation can come through being in touch with the underlying interconnectedness of all things.
“Whispers and small laughter between leaves and hurrying
feet
Under sleep where all the waters meet.” TS Eliot

Mercury Stations Direct

Mercury stations direct today at 4:50 pm EST. Do take extra care with the details for the next day or two as there still can be snafus with communications, objects of communication and travel.
It has been said that Mercury stationing direct can offer a culmination of knowledge. Lost things can be found and missing pieces of information can surface.
Mercury stations at 14 degrees of Capricorn and one of the Sabian symbols for this time is, “An ancient bas-relief carved in granite remains a witness to a long forgotten culture.”

Full Moon in Leo on Saturday

“You are the fairy tale told by your ancestors.”  Toba Beta
The Moon waxes Full this Saturday 1/23 at 3 degrees of Leo at 8:46 PM EST.  Many of the prevailing aspects at this time are about advocating for what think is important in your life and how you direct the powers of your mind and your actions to that end. It bodes well under the influences to consciously identify and let go of any blocks to this process in order to make more apparent what is new and trying to manifest in your life.
One of the Sabian symbols associated with this Full Moon is, ” A council of ancestors has been called to guide a woman.”  The influence of the ancestors is strong at this time. With Chiron in close proximity to the South Node and Jupiter conjunct the North Node on the relationship axis it is a good time to think of the inherited gifts and tendencies that came down through the bloodlines – from the ancestors and family of origin  – and to clarify which gifts you would like to keep and evolve and which influences you intend to let go of. There is much support for moving forward in a new, authentic and evolved way now if you are future oriented and clear in your intentions.
This Moon is also about creativity and taking a creative approach to your life’s vision.

The Sun Enters Aquarius

“Many hands make light work.” John Heywood
The Sun moves into the sign of Aquarius today. This is a good time for collaborating with like-minded friends and co-workers around shared aspirations and goals. The sign of Aquarius is freedom loving and independent and often bestows great skill with networking and community building. It is oriented towards the future rather than the past.
The Age of Aquarius -which we are entering- is about honoring individual differences while working together to bring about a more just and  humane world through personal actions and interactions.
Higher consciousness is a key component along with innovation and collaboration.
