Jupiter and the Sun

Over the next few days take advantage of beneficenr Jupiter’s expansive influence as it aligns with the Sun. There is likely to be increase in the area of your chart where this planetary pair is transiting – the very early degrees of Virgo.
With Jupiter transits it is wise to keep moderation in mind and to avoid excess – particularly with the opposition to Neptune – the planet of dreams and illusions. It can be a good time for increased spiritual awareness, for telepathic experiences and for expanding creative visions.
But it can also be a time of irritation and illusion. It bodes well wot make an extra effort to stay grounded.
One of the Sabian symbols associated with this time is, ” A man becoming aware of nature spirits and normally unseen energies.”

Venus, Uranus and Jupiter

“Dreams are …illustrations from the book your soul is writing about you.” Marsha Norman
There are interesting planetary energies as we head towards the First Quarter Moon on Saturday 8/22.
Venus continues her retrograde journey – making this time (through early Sept)
a good time to review aspects of  you life related to joy, abundance and pleasure and how if you feel there is room for improvement- to start scheming and  making plans about how you might do so.
Venus is moving back to a favorable alignment to Uranus this week so surprise is in the air. This aspect can bring romantic encounters and other unexpected events. It does have an erratic unpredictable current however and relationships started under this influence often take an unconventional, freedom loving path. With Venus  retrograde there can be the return of an old lover. Wait until September to have a more accurate picture about how any events of this nature are likely to turn out.
It is a good time to revisit unrealized dreams – even of your childhood – and see if there are ways that you can make them manifest in your life now.
Jupiter has moved into Virgo the sign of healing. If there are ways you would like to improve your health and general well being there is support and guidance available. Make a concrete plan which is part of your routine and commit to it.
The First Quarter Moon is on Saturday 8/22 at 29 Scorpio I will write about it later in the week.

Planetary Activity This Week

“We don’t stop playing because we grow old, we grow old because we stop playing.” Satchel Paige

There is a lot of planetary activity this week leading up to the New Moon at 21 Leo on Friday August 14.
Jupiter will enter the sign of Virgo on Tuesday the 11th and will transit through this sign for a year or so. In general it is a good time for thinking about service to the world and to others, for initiatives related to improving health and evolving your belief system. It is wise to watch out for a tendency to be overly critical or overly focused on perfection.

Thursday the ongoing Saturn/Pluto semi square is exact. This is a long term influence and concerns effecting change and transformation. There can be tension and frustration and it bodes well not to push too hard now but be patient and acknowledge incremental steps that represent progress in any change you have been trying to effect.

Mercury is moving up to an opposition to Neptune this week. This can bring confusion in communication and travel and fogginess in thinking. It will be helpful to be organized and prepared as you enter this week. Get details nailed down early.

The New Moon is Friday at 21 Leo. This is a good time to formulate goals for bringing more joy, happiness and creativity into your life. If there are children in your life set intentions about how you would like to relate to them in a more loving, joyful and playful way.
The Sun is the ruler of Leo and one of the Sabian symbols associated with this time is, “American Indians perform a ritual to the Sun.”

Saturn stations direct

“I will not die an unlived life. I will not live in fear of falling or catching fire. I choose to inhabit my days, to allow my living to open me, to make me less afraid, more accessible, to loosen my heart until it becomes a wing, a torch. a promise.”
Saturn will station direct this Sunday  EDT in late Scorpio. Saturn’s transit back into the late degrees has provided a good opportunity to look at the kind of hold fear has on your life. It is a good time to bring clarity to this area and to commit to a new level of courage if necessary.
It bodes well for intentions related to bringing more balance and integration into the levels of body mind and spirit. Other aspects in play now indicate a very good time to get in touch with how to bring more joy into your life.

Full Moon in Aquarius

” A Japanese friend explained to me that the plum symbolizes courage because the plum puts out blossoms while the snow is still on the ground.” Anne Morrow Lindbergh

First Quarter Moon

“All journeys have secret destinations of which the traveler is unaware.” Martin Buber

The Sabian symbol for today’s First Quarter Moon is,” A sight seeing bus.” This symbol describes looking at your life with new eyes – as if you are traversing new territory. New opportunities may present themselves throughout this Moon cycle if you keep a broad perspective and an open mind.

Uranus will station conjunct Eris on the 26th. Eris is the asteroid of the Woman Warrior making this a good time to advocate for your soul’s journey in this lifetime.

Venus Retrograde, Uranus and Mars

“Beauty awakens the soul to act.” Dante Alighieri

Venus will station retrograde on July 25. Retrograde periodsare a good time for review. Through September 6 it bodes well to consider areas of life related to finances, partnership, friendship and aesthetics and what improvements you would like to make in those areas. Through mid August Jupiter’s beneficent influence will be close by bringing the opportunity for expanded vision which can open the door to new opportunities.

This week is off to an edgy start as Mars moves up to an exact square to Uranus. This planetary combination can create volatility. It bodes well to exercise restraint in communications with others and to take more care when driving and moving about as impulsiveness can create a more accident prone time.

Venus Enters Virgo

“Genuine commitment is a journey into the unknown,” Madonna Kolbenschlag

Venus will shortly enter the sign of Virgo forming a conjunction to Juno – the asteroid of commitment. With Saturn’s recent return to Scorpio this planetary configuration bodes well for using discrimination to reassess and reaffirm commitments to spiritual growth, emotional growth, and intentions related to staying out of fear.

One of the Sabian symbols associated with the transit of Venus is, “Two guardian angels bringing protection.”

New Moon in Cancer

“Great hearts steadily send forth the secret forces that incessantly draw great events.” Ralph Waldo Emerson

The New Moon is Wednesday July 15 at 23 degrees of Cancer. This entire week is a very powerful time for intention and action – with the Moon and some of the fast moving, action oriented planets entering the dynamic Cardinal Square.
Under this influence it bodes well to think about what creates stability and security in your life and in your home and how to enhance those areas.
The Moon is also about the past – the family of origin and the ancestors- a good time to assess which of their gifts you will hold on to and honor in your journey forward. Also a good time to leave behind what no longer serves you. The support for personal evolution is very strong at this time.
This New Moon is a very powerful crossroad. One of the Sabian symbols associated with it is, “A leader wrapped in an invisible cloak of power.”

Uranus and Pluto

“Soul needs undergo a change of focus with every progressive soul stage throughout the human life span.Without an understanding of the themes and tasks that shape and influence the developing being it is difficult to assess the dramatic and dynamic unfolding of each life.” William Bento

The Uranus/Pluto square which has been in effect since 2012 has ushered in a time of great change. In a nutshell the aspect is about rattling unsustainable foundations in order to build a path forward which supports growth and evolution. Although the Uranus/Pluto square has perfected and has moved on the effects -both personally and collectively- will be felt for years – the story is still unfolding.

The way this dynamic interplay of energies affects you personally can be seen in the transit of the Uranus/Pluto square in your chart. It speaks of the areas in need of transformation and change in order to further your own personal evolutionary journey.

I will be offering special readings on how the Uranus Pluto aspect affects individual charts – with 1/2 hour readings at $75 and hour long readings for $150. If you would like more information or to book an appointment please get in touch.
