Mercury in Virgo Musings

2011-08-25T18:28:00.000-07:00

Mercury goes direct this Friday, August 26, a dear friend's birthday and a significant personal anniversary in my life path. Retrogrades are always about review, review, review, and as I ponder upon my chosen path, I have been looking intensely at my career, in particular how to connect my healing arts with my internet skills.

The message has been clear to me for awhile, "Focus and Simplify." But what to let go of in order to simplify? What to concentrate on as my focus? My Libra head whirls with the options, weighing and deciding the possibilities.

Interestingly, I have Mars (Action), Pluto (Transformation) and Uranus (Insights) in Virgo (the Healer), the latter two conjunct and opposite Saturn and Chiron in Pisces. Virgo is not our modern notion of the innocent "she who never has had sex" but instead the Vestal Virgin, Priestess of the temple of Vesta, keeper of the hearth the flame, the home, who chooses celibacy as a sacred act. One of her affirmations is "She who comes back Whole unto Herself." After meeting with a sustainability specialist, I looked closely as to what is truly reviving and rejuvenating in my practice of the healing arts.

As a result of this process, I have simplified much - I stopped writing a regular astrology column, hence the sparseness in the last six months posts, as well as stopped doing Astro Chat Live on KZSC radio once a month. I have become a big fan of Google Calendar, both for time management and the ease for clients to book appointments. I have let go of several meetings, a difficult decision as I love the personal relationships created in network marketing.

For my focus, I have shifted from creating websites to having more hypnotherapy clients, as well as continuing to Direct and instruct the Inner Resources: Hypnotherapy program at Twin Lakes College. My partner has been helping me create personal empowerment videos for Youtube, and I am now halfway through the Masters program in Holistic Healing through AIHT.

So, while I will continue to post monthly on Astrochat, I invite you to visit and subscribe to Enchanted World of a Rambling Rose or to become from friend on Facebook for daily affirmations, quotes and uplifting stories, as well as Astro Chat, tapping into the celestial tides and more thoughts on making Mercury retrograde work for you, rather than against you.

Thank you for reading this post, whether this is your first time or you are a regular subscriber. I continue to be available for astrology readings, either in person, by phone or Via Skype. I appreciate being in service and look forward to sharing more celestial wisdom as the universe continues to unfold...

Blessed Be,

Kayla

Astro Chat for Sun in Aries

2011-03-19T10:24:00.000-07:00

Uranus, planet of revolution and liberation, moves into Aries, sign of the warrior maiden, Calafia, whom California is named after. The earth shook, tsunami's swept the ocean, and a core meltdown occurred. Where has this been true in your personal life? Notice the outpouring of humanity, the ways in which we have pulled together as nations as well as neighbors. Now is the time to examine core beliefs, as new truths upset old paradigms. Choose to be a hero rather than a victim, and feel empowered by the planets to walk the path of the peaceful warrior.

Uranus is joined by Jupiter, the great magnifier, Mercury, the disperser of information, and of course the Sun, illuminating our soul's to discover their true purpose. Plant the seeds of love, the seeds peace, the seeds of change, and of course every one's favorite, seed money....

There has been much talk about the 13th sign, Ophiuchus, and how it affects our astrological make up. Astrologers believe that when a star or planet comes to the attention of humanity that it is the right timing to integrate its meaning into the collective.

Here's a quote from a wonderful astrology book, Mythic Astrology, published in 1993, by Kenneth Johnson and Ariel Guttman, "Toward the end of Scorpio there is a constellation called Ophiuchus, pictured as a giant wresting with a serpent. The holder of the serpent is Asclepius, the healer and honor student of Chiron. Because this constellation was slightly off the ecliptic when the zodiac we now use was formed, it was not included as a sign. (In fact, Ophiuchus sits "above" Scorpio.) But because of the precession of the equinoxes, today the Sun spends more time in this constellation than it actually does in Scorpio. Thus, before we can finally emerge from Scorpio and enter into the light of Sagittarius, we must wrestle with this serpent, a process most...are familiar with, and one which each handles differently."

Aries: Sing your truth, raise your voice in joy, and find harmony within, whether you belt it out in the shower or solo in the choir. How will you raise your vibration even further?

Gemini: It's a mutable time, so use your silver tongue to inspire the flames of hope and have faith that your words can heal. How will you edit your own story? Remember, you are a myth in the making.

Cancer: Notice your budding health and the way a chick cracks through the egg. As you begin your taxes or spring cleaning, let go of the past with a sense of ease and grace. Welcoming fresh inspiration.

Leo: Go to dance church or take up gospel singing, anything to shake up your mind and body and return to the miracle of simple being alive. Are you breathing? Remember to make your exhales longer.

Virgo: Trust your gut instincts and check in with your body's messages through muscle testing or simple being aware of holding any stress or tension. What will make you feel more relaxed? Make lists.

Libra: Relationships are work, yes, it's true, so is making art, making a meal or making love. How can you focus more fully on each moment, each detail? Remember you are a co-creator of the universe.

Scorpio: Ask for that raise, rewrite that resume, submit that manuscript. What are your career goals? Take charge of your life and notice all your doubts dissolving while watching your confidence build.

Sagittarius: Fire meets fire and the flames grow higher. What is fueling your soul? Notice that anger is not sustainable. Discover creative ways to feed your passions and celebrate feeling vibrant.

Capricorn: Notice your adult patterns, and take a moment to trace your emotional ancestry. What legacies are worth continuing? What chains or limitation need to be broken? The whole world is your family.

Aquarius:Time for a vision quest, silent retreat or good long soak in the tub. What are your feet telling you? Get some new shoes, find your pace and discover a new path. True worship starts within.

Pisces: What happens when shifting emotions meet a fixed idea? Like taking the time to admire every facet of a polished diamond, allow your whole being to reflect every part of your brilliant essence.

Santa Cruz Astrology with Kayla Garnet Rose, CHT

Aquarius is fixed air. What is fixed air you might ask? Think of the atmosphere, surrounding the earth, giving life to the whole planet. Fixed air reminds us to breathe, to inhale and to exhale, taking all that you need that would serve you, and really letting go of anything that longer is useful any more.

We often see a woman pouring water down into the earth as the symbol for Aquarius. Esoterically speaking this represents our thirst for knowledge. Aquarius is a sign of the inquiring mind. What are you inquiring about? Aquarius is also ruled by Uranus, which has a completely different orbit that any of the other planets. It is the wild card, the joker, coyote. Remember to laugh at yourself now, for all the ways we self sabotage or trick ourselves into new growth.

The glyph for Aquarius looks like 2 waves over each other, again which looks like water. Think more of currents of electricity, lightning bolts of inspiration or the light bulb of invention, that feeling of a ha and being jolted from old reality to a new paradigm.

What do you want to do now to really get ready for spring? Focus on setting feasible goals and realistic intentions, and welcome the unexpected blossoms after a long winter.

Open me up—That I might receive,
Open me up—That I might believe,
Oh, Great Spirit—I'm calling to you, I'm calling to you...
Oh, Great Spirit—What else can I do, what else can I do?
-Traditional

Happy Solstice and welcome to a cluster of planets in Capricorn. Sign of the goat, Capricorn sees a mountain, climbs it, then sees another one. What are your ambitions? What valleys will you descend into in order to come out the top on the other side? The stars are here as your guide.

Light up the winter's darkest night with your own sweet soul, shining so bright. Take care of your body, your home, your garden. Sit in the sun every chance you can, and if you can't, get a sun lamp or at least halogen bulbs. Take St. John's Wort and extra Vitamin D if you feel the winter blue's, and allow yourself all the sleep and deep relaxation you need.

Mercury retrograde all through December has us reviewing our words more than once, and even though we know to take nothing personally, we are persons who are experiencing very real frustrations. Take it out on your journal or your pillow, rather than your loved ones. Know that they are going through this too- what ritual can you do together to release the tension? Write down all of the year's disappointments and burn them together in a fire. Make way for the New Year by setting your intentions to work together in cooperation and harmony.

Wondering just what’s in the stars for you? For a personal reading contact www.KaylaGarnetRose.com.

Cancer: Feeling stuck between your shell and a hard place? Crack open your sense of humor and find the strength in being vulnerable, the sacred in the mundane. Nourish yourself as much as those around you.

Leo: What will peak your interest this winter, oh Leo? Put on a song and dance, show the world your charm and grace, and humble yourself before the applause. Everyone loves you and the Universe is encouraging you.

Virgo: Whether in a fog of pain or painkillers, realize where you are the source of your own distress. Stop saying "if" and start saying "when" especially in terms of your health and financial well being.

Libra: There is a hidden opportunity for more energy, but only if you act on it now. What s holding you back? Tap into your eagle vision-swoop into the details as well as getting perspective on your soul.

Scorpio: Where do you want to go this lifetime? The Universe is shining a light and it is up to you whether to get lost in the shadows or to transform your darkest fears. Tap into your Phoenix self.

Sagittarius: What are you talking about? Notice the need for communication. Distinguish between deep listening and excessive gabbing. No need to be a conversation hog. Share authentically to develop philosophy.

Capricorn:Feeling the tension between your desires and your emotions? How can you constructively combine the two? Remember, you are the master builder, especially when to comes to relationships. Network more.

Aquarius: Maybe you feel like your soul's purpose has been under the microscope, or your right livelihood under review. What have you discovered? How will you apply this? Remember, as above, so below.

Pisces: Like shafts of sunlight streaming into the sea, there s a hidden opportunity for you to stimulate your deepest self. Cosmic photosynthesis is happening now, so unfurl your soul and welcome the light.

When we sit in silence we become our own monastery - Jack Kornfield

Find some quiet time during this holiday season. It could be as simple as waking up five minutes earlier, taking a bath instead of a shower, or going for a walk around the block. Balance out the intensity of family with the comfort of familiarity. Notice the dog doesn't mind that it's dark, the cat is always ready for your lap. These are times for creative contemplation which act as cat naps for the soul during the seasonal hustle and bustle.

Venus and Neptune both have turned direct, and we feel forward motion in our relationships, our dreams, our ideals being met. Mercury will be going retrograde throughout most of December, so buy those holiday gifts early and fly through the season like a well waxed sled on fresh snow.

Take a moment to reinforce your own psychic boundaries and let any criticism slide off like water on a ducks back. There is a certain amount of tension in the air from Jupiter conjunct Uranus squaring Mars, Mercury, and the Sun in Sagittarius, all the more reason to use humor as the ultimate diplomatic tool.

Aries: Time to lay down that sword and shield, and seek the ways of the peaceful warrior now. Speak your truth gently, and with fire. Expand your heart, your family, your communication skills and give thanks.

Taurus: After reviewing what you value in relationships and what relationships are valuable to you, remember to keep what is worth keeping, and with the breath of kindness, blow the rest away. Feel blessed.

Gemini: Talk about what you are learning right now. Spread the word of good teachers, classes, workshops. You are a valuable in disseminating of information. Use your networks to create a vaster intelligence.
Cancer: Try not to pendulum swing between your emotions. Invite into your being a fusing of duality and change each frustration into a humorous learning experience. Laugh about it, blog about it, let it go.
Leo: Watch those flaming hoops, Leo, and let yourself be the ring master rather than the performer this holiday season. Dust off that top hat and orchestrate family gatherings with the highest harmony.

Virgo: What will rejuvenate your spirit during these holiday times? We know how great your are at serving others, how about serving yourself? I'm not just talking about pie. Be gracious in receiving thanks.
Libra: Sometimes you feel fickle at heart, so allow yourself to be fussy about all the final details. Be discerning rather than judgmental, and know you are stepping into a period of refinement and improvement.

Scorpio: The dragon's head is rearing up in your heart. Now is the time to assess your fortune. Do you stay clenching the treasure in the middle of the mountain? Fly free, breathing fire into the imagination.

Sagittarius: Expand your mind and recognize that will power is a muscle that needs to be exercised daily. You are brilliant, shiny, and more people love you than you know. Keep creating good habits, they will serve.

Capricorn: Honor your mother and father, no matter what your actual relationship is like, or how it was in the past. Create an altar to your ancestors - Google archetypal images to replace anything archaic.

Aquarius: Thirsty for knowledge and a new daily practice? if you're bored of your old prayers, go ahead and try some new ones. Zumba, belly dance, Pilates, yoga - choose a physical regime to strengthen spirit.

Pisces: While shying from the lime light, there is a hidden attraction you are deeply contemplating now. This will bring self knowledge and mutual empowerment. Consider the third person involved. Blessings.

The road to success is always under construction. (-Chinese Proverb)

Days are getting shorter, nights are getting chillier, there's a crisp smell in the air as our feet crunch the dead leaves scattering the sidewalks. Kids are getting ready for their favorite night of the year, and now is the time to look at the masks you wear.

Scorpionic energy abounds as the Sun is conjunct Mercury, Venus, and Mars, all clustered together like the gossips at the well, the hags around the cauldron. The power of the spoken word to cause harm is very much in the air, as seen by the tragic suicides by gay youth after being continuously harassed and bullied. We all have the capacity to manipulate and power play, so choose to empower others and remain in alignment with your deeper values, morals, and ethics.

Venus retrograding through Scorpio also allows us to review not just our dirty laundry but our psychic lingerie. What makes you feel super sexy? What ignites your romantic passion? Remember, nothing is more attractive than desire.

Taurus: "Change comes very slow and very sudden." - Dorothy Bryant. What has been a long time in the making is now taking form, allowing you to discover a sweeter life in greener pastures. Savor every moment.

Gemini: Be careful with spreading information, your network is vaster than you realize. Live by the words, "Whatever you say, is it necessary, truthful or kind?" You have the opportunity to really shine now.

Cancer: Use a scrying mirror (made of obsidian/black glass) to reflect upon creating a future free of the past. Deep in your tender a heart a small miracle is growing. Let go of being overprotective by trust.

Leo: What has the head of a dragon and the tail of the lion? Now is the time to combine the energies of all your mythical beasts and totem animals to express your unique individuality. Study the Chimera.

Virgo: How will you change your greatest wounds into your greatest gifts? Now is the time to become your own champion, advocate, hero instead of victim. Encourage yourself by acknowledging accomplishments.

Libra: Dive deep in your communications. Take the risk to speak your truth, knowing you will be heard. What do you need to say? Time to transform old patterns and to express the full range of your being.

Scorpio: Right now there is a hidden opportunity that will be revealed to you only briefly. How will you respond? Look deep into your heart and soul. Phoenix from the flame, this is the time to rebirth yourself.

Sagittarius: There's a watery fire running in your veins, you might boil over or run hot these days. Choose to power a locomotive rather than erupting like a volcano. Have you thought about nonviolent communication?

Capricorn: The most important relationship is the one with yourself. What good things are you doing for yourself now? Be kind and gentle, treat your self with kid gloves, move with extra care and deliberation.

Aquarius: Pay particular attention to your dreams during this cosmic, watery time. Deeper urges from the past are beginning to resurface, revealing your core truths and real identity. Choose to give your gifts.

Pisces: Take a moment to honor whale medicine, your ancestral memories. Sing your soul song, and connect with the stars. Notice the surge of your desires, personal tides, ride the waves and discover treasures.

Daily Affirmation: Let my lessons be more gentle; Let my teachers be kinder.

The full moon in Aries has us balancing our individual needs within the collective. Now is the time to develop who you are as a unique individual while acknowledging both what it is you contribute to your community as well as how the community can support your process.

The rings around Saturn represent certain real restrictions in life. Saturn conjunct the Sun in Libra creates the experience of looking at where do we feel limits as well as where do we need good boundaries in our relationships,with family and friends as well as colleagues and coworkers. With Pluto continuing to square Saturn, we are challenged to discover where we try to control people as well as where we feel manipulated by others.

Mercury in Virgo is sextile both Venus and Mars, encouraging us to communicate both are deepest desires and what is that we want to attract into our life. Both Venus and Mars in Scorpio are also sextile Pluto, and although change may feel glacier slow at times, truly new valleys and mountains are being created in the landscape of our souls.

"You have a right to experiment with your life. You will make mistakes. And they are right too."

~Anais Nin

Mercury retrograde in Virgo has reviewing our concepts of wholeness, integrety, and being of service. You know how on airplane safety instructions they alwas say to put on your oxygen mask before helping your kid? It is so important to take care of yourself first. Notice the places where ou have been selfless in the past, and where you have been less of your self. Let go of concepts that you are being too selfish - think of it as being self-full instead.

It is Lammas, time of the unexpected gift. Who would you like to surprise? In the tarot, the Strength card shows gentle Virgo touching Leo, reminding us to combine our animal nature/deepest desires with our purest intentions. What are your creative outlets for fun? Incorporate more art into your daily life, whether drawing, painting, taking photos or visiting galleries for inspiration.

There is a T-square between Pluto (transform or die), Jupiter (expansion in the social world), and Saturn (the great teacher). Like Athena being born whole from Zeus’ head, notice what ideas are now becoming manifest. Invoke Owl medicine to watch out for your blind spots.

That Which You Seek is Seeking You - Rumi

Mercury shoots out from the sky like a sling shot, as all that pent up communication comes spewing forth. Time to focus on the bull's eye and keep your eyes on the prize. Take good aim, and remember to actually follow through on your own good ideas. Hesitate, and you'll fall up short. It's the way to self-actualization.

We experience a break from the norm as Uranus enters Aries for the first time since 1935, and new beginnings about as Jupiter starts it's own 12 year cycle in Aries. It is a time of enthusiasm and courage, a time to create what is uniquely yours, and to shine your own inspiration.

Saturn in Libra opposes Jupiter, which compels us to expand our wings or contract in fear - which do you choose? We shift from wallowing to willing, doing whatever we can. Self control is the key as cardinal energies always create progress. The energy may seem arduous, and indeed, we are being tested in terms of the spiritual paths we have always relied upon. Open yourself up to new teachers, new teachings. Sincerely ask, and you will receive.

The best time to plant a tree is twenty years ago. The next best time is now.—Chinese Proverb

The first half of the month is mutable and shifting, the second half more fiery and tense. So many planets are either in Pisces or Aries that we are all really experience a combination of fire and water in our lives. Are you just blowing off steam right now, or powering up a locomotive? In the tarot, this is the Temperance card, the combining of the elements to create an alchemical whole. Notice your emotions, all that you wish for, all you would ask the genie after rubbing the lamp. Now notice your energy, your fiery power, and ask yourself, "What will I do?"

Changing your wishful thinking into willful thinking takes courage, consciousness and intent. With Mars turning direct in Leo, this is the perfect time to work with a coach right, whether a therapist, fitness trainer or peer counselor. Writing down your goal or verbally stating it to another keeps you accountable and reinforces your deeper motivations - the truth is, the only thing holding you back is you, so learn to get out of your own way.

Beyond a wholesome discipline,
be gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

- Max Ehrmann

Aries: Spring has sprung and all that wound up, pent up tension is ready to be released, oh Aries. What will you do to channel your desires so you don't implode? Turn your breakdowns into breakthroughs and discover a whole new level of sustainable energy.

Taurus: Time to love yourself, Taurus, but really love yourself, from the tips of your toes to the roots of your hair. Walk, move, dance, sing - now is the time to frolic in the fields and bask in the sun. You are blossoming before my very eyes.

Gemini: After conveying your emotions, new seed thoughts will emerge mid month. Ignite the fires of your mind, communicate clearly, and always coat your words with honey instead of vinegar. Fresh ideas to promote your well being are streaming towards you now.

Cancer: Moving from harmonious Pisces into fiery Aries can be as challenging as it is fun. Allow yourself to move from compassion to passion, and discover new emotional depths by inviting intimacy. There is great strength in vulnerability, and the truth is, you are always safe.

Leo: After carrying the whole world on your shoulders, now is the time to put down other people's burdens, dear Leo, and let yourself be more self focused. Take pride in your appearance, groom that mane, and roar when necessary. Or you can choose to purr...

Virgo: Watch what you ask for - you might get it! After taking a gamble, it's time to assess whether it was worth the risk or time to nip it in the bud. When courting the wild card, don't be surprised to b left with the joker.

Libra: Stop worrying about other people and what they might think. You are brilliant, talented, gorgeous and fabulous and it serves no one when you hide your love light. Shine like the gold star you are and your twin flame will magically appear.

Scorpio: "The slower the change, the more real and long lasting the effects" is your mantra for this month, oh Scorpio. Everything is going as planned, things are falling into place, and the universe is unfolding as it should. Try not to get bored with perfection.

Sagittarius: Expand your concepts of faith, and in particular in having faith in yourself and your actions. Seeds planted long ago in your heart and just now beginning to unfold. Nourish your deepest dreams and tend to your emotions gently and deliberately.

Capricorn: In reviewing your past and past relationships, you'll discover a forgotten source of strength that will become important again. Release all feelings of being a victim and step into the power of being your own hero.You have all the resources you need.

Aquarius: Are you singing in the rain? Dancing in the storms? Now is the time to do some serious puddle jumping, my friend, and it would be good to invite some buddies along. Notice what is blooming in your heart and take the time to learn the language of flowers.

Pisces: The Sun is shining on your soul's purpose now,my lovely Pisces, so take a moment or two to reflect upon your time here on planet earth, and what it is you really want to accomplish. The more you focus, the more it will all flow.

Jupiter opposite Vesta holds a magnifying glass up to our feelings of hearth and home, to what rekindles our sacred spark. As Anais Nin says, "Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don't know how to replenish its source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of witherings, of tarnishings."

Saturn retrogrades for the next six months, all the way back into Virgo, and squares Pluto in Capricorn. It is a time of creating new structures, both locally (as in your home) and globally. The next four months are a time of retreat - tending, reinvention, updating and improving.

Mars and Mercury are also retro at the beginning of the month. Mars retro is especially significant, as it only happens every 2.2 years. While we may feel more inward, dormant desires are released and reactivated after a period of reassessment. What will fulfill your depleted soul? The answer is always love, sweet love.

Aries: Time to shed the conditioning of the past, my dear Step into your true nature as a leader & initiator. Change your selfish ways into self caring ways, and discover the joy of family again.

Taurus: Your personal planet, Venus, is in the sign of electrifying Aquarius. Think riding the mechanical bull during this time - do you want it slow & sexy or fast & furious? It’s your call.

Gemini: No need to butt heads just to get your way, oh Gemini. Creative teamwork is the way to the top right now - take your turn at belaying your partners and know that soon it’ll be your turn again.

Cancer: This is hard time for many folks, whether with the winter blues or Seasonal Affective Disorder. Reach out to friends and family to give and receive. Valentines Day is not just about lovers.

Leo: Notice your unique individuality as well as your significance in your community. What innovative ideas are calling? What do you want to put into action by summer? Everything is possible.

Virgo: Educate yourself this winter & become your own expert. Let go of all those long shots, health risks, and gambling addictions. Invest in wellness, massage, and purification. You know what to do.

Libra: Be social, despite your tendency to hermit out now. Find inspiration in the sweet fires of Brigit and stand up for what you believe in most. Saturn ends a 28 cycle in your sign. Notice this.

Scorpio: Notice how the fixations of the past initiated a whole new set of circumstances for you, my Scorpio friend. In other words, watch what you ask for - you might get it. Keep transforming.

Sagittarius: Now is the time to transcend all past limitations. Allow yourself to merge with your highest self. Change your doubts into wonders. Relish the everyday miracles of your life. Smile a lot.

Capricorn: Rather than wondering “why is this happening to me?’ Ask yourself, “How will this strengthen me?” Indeed, your whole life’s purpose may seem under review now, so remember to reward yourself.

Aquarius: Did you feel the earth shake? Did you experience the miracle? I know something shifted for you, my Aquarius friend, and I’m curious as to how your life will be different from now on.
Pisces: A flash from the past, a sudden burst of insight, or a sparkling new opportunity is here for you now. Grab it with both hands while you can, Pisces, and use your mutable energy to transform.

Big changes are coming - Here they come. -Laurie Anderson.

We begin the year with Mercury retrograde, from December 26 to January 15. A perfect time to review your ambitions and set up realistic solutions instead of outmoded resolutions.

Indeed, with so many planets opposite the Full Moon, there is the sense that after taking the time to set your goals, now is the time to pull back, like drawing back on the string of the bow, before following through to reach your mark.

Saturn opposes Juno, schooling each of us in our sense who we are as individuals in our deeper, more meaningful relationships. Saturn rules contracts and Juno is the asteroid goddess of wifely devotion, so either marriages or divorces are likely to occur under this influence.

Mars retrograde opposes Chiron, Neptune, and Jupiter, allowing us to review our family wounds and finally bring closure to past. Look past the anger to see the hurt, and choose to lay down your egos need to feel self righteous in order to feel heard. Pay attention to your passionate nature, and find ways to express a fierce tenderness for what you hold dearest.

Wondering just what’s in the stars for you? For a personal reading contact www.KaylaGarnetRose.com.

Aries: Juno dances with your soul this month, so rather than focusing on past betrayals, savor the rewards of sweet dedication and spend more time being devoted to your self. What are your new commitments?

Taurus: This is the year of improvements for you, particularly on the physical plane. Now is the time to renovate your home or office space, whether a fresh coat of paint or a complete remodel. Start planning.

Gemini: Consider taking a class in non violent communication (or similar) with your partner. Conflict can arise unless everyone’s needs can be integrated. This is your strength now. What can you do differently?

Cancer: There is no need to act crabby or side step any issues, especially if you feel you need a little space. Honor your process by taking more personal care, whether a long hot bath or a workout at the gym.

Leo: Your North Node is being activated, compelling you to notice your comfort zones and your challenges. Where is it you really want to go to, Leo? In your life, in your career, in your love? You can do it.

Virgo: Vesta in your sign invites you to examine what is feeding your inner flame, your sacred fire, you heart’s true desire? Tend to your temple, take time to greet the New Year feeling refreshed and revived.

Libra: What are your ambitions in love, my dear? How will you achieve them? Allow yourself to be nimble and graceful. Choose your steps carefully and with confidence. Remember, you deserve to be truly happy.

Scorpio: Transformation is a way of life, not a moment in time, so be patient with your own soul’s unfolding. As you weave your life with another’s, use any limitations to provide structure and focus. Breathe.

Sagittarius: Now is a great time to dwell upon a new intellectual endeavor or on travel to a new shore. Get out a map, an atlas, your compass and your slippers. Sit back in that easy chair and make ready for spring.
Capricorn: Relationship is the greatest teacher, but it all begins on how you relate to your self. Are you being honest with your self? Are you following through on your appointments? Give your self a gold star.

Aquarius: Invite your soul to be more curious, more inquisitive. Explore new forms of information. This is the time to develop your spiritual intelligence and thirst for deeper knowledge. Notice the mystery.
Pisces: The fog is easing and the new year will feel like a brand new day. Embrace new forms of hope. Discover optimism as a meditation practice. Be mindful of creating peace by simply forgiving yourself.

Pluto (what controls, what we want to control the most) squaring Saturn (where we feel limits, where the greatest teachings lie). This is being played out in Libra/Capricorn, so we are all feeling the tension in our relationships and in our careers. It's like the Devil is arm wrestling with Hades, and we emerge from the nine tests of Scorpio into the passions of Sagittarius, seeking higher truths after having descended into the depths of our collective psyche over the last month.

Venus moves from squaring Neptune, and we shift from focusing on our disillusionments of love also into the realm of higher truths, of creating a higher love for our selves and for humanity. Now truly is the time of giving, so cultivate generosity in your heart to receive an abundance of blessings.

Mars retrogrades mid month, and what with opposing Jupiter can lend a feeling of exaggeration to our desires, so channel your energies wisely and you will find your social world expanding in wonderous ways. The Rolling Stones sing, "You can't always get what you want... But sometimes, you just might find, you get what you need..."

Mercury goes retrograde in Capricorn on December 26 - review those New Year's Resolutions early...

Aries: You're feeling fiery & impatient deep at the core, but just like a dormant volcano provides a safe haven for years, focus on your friends and family to create a safe haven for the holidays. There will be plenty of time to erupt into your smoldering phoenix self soon enough.

Taurus: Allow yourself to become the Queen of wands, sharing your heart's delight this holiday season. You warm up folks with your brilliant smile and sparkling energy. Thanks for including everyone.

Gemini: While there is a time for bluntness, try to lay your cards on the table with a velvet glove instead of an iron fist. Just like the sure footed goat, use all your communication skills to skip lightly over family drama and soap opera.

Cancer: Your emotions are your internal barometer, constatly feeding you information as to your level of happiness. Rather than filling up on sugary treats, feed your soul with the sweetness of pure kindness this season. Reward yourself in healthy ways.

Leo: Balance your animal magnetism with your higher mind and discover the pleasures of being more Spinx like. Create riddles, jokes and mazes this season. Try a creative treasure hunt or two.

Virgo: The portal is open to greater healing now, which includes greater joy and an expansion of possibilities. Create a list of all your intentions and remeber, a vision without a plan is just a day dream.

Libra: After being tested on all levels last month, Libra, feel ready to graduate and receive your well deserved laurels. Rediscover the romance of travel, the world is your oyster now.

Scorpio: Part of you may feel tethered, or restricted in your relationships, but allow yourself to be a kite on a string rather than feeling leashed. While little goats learn by butting heads, find a gentler way to play and increase your skills of love.

Sagittarius: Like a breath of fresh air, this season brings a sweet sigh of relief to many Sagittarians. Feel your innovation and ingenuity arise, and strive for the most creative solutions for any family conflicts. There is always a third option.
Capricorn: Are you controlling your relationships, or are relationships controlling you, Cap? Try using the word "manage" instead, and delegate tasks rather than trying to do it all by your self. Everyone loves to help.

Aquarius: All that soul review really pays off now, and you will be filled with sparks of insight and feelings of true humanitarianism. As Rob Breszny says, "You can have anything you want, as long as you ask for it in an unselfish tone of voice."
Pisces: Feeling like a fish out of water for such a long times has forced you to evolve again, my Pisces friend. Notice the truth is transcending your own expectations. Life now can be even better than you imagined.

AstroChat for Sun in Scorpio 2009

There has been a general feeling of universal frustration and soul exhaustion in the stars. How are you taking care of yourself? Can you accept being human while holding onto your cosmic intentions? Yes, I know you can. And with all these planets going direct in the next month or two, the feeling of cosmic alignment will return faster than you realize.

Jupiter, planet of hope and optimism, went direct mid October, allowing us all to renew our spirits and find refreshing ways to return to positive thinking, in particular in our social circles. Combined with Neptune going direct on November 4, there is a feeling of creating fresh visions. The song, "I can see clearly now that the rain has gone" springs to mind.

Saturn enters Libra for the next 2.5 years, and indeed, relationship is the greatest teacher. Notice who is in your life right now, and allow yourself to return to beginner's mind. Where would you like to start over, but with all the wisdom & experience you've gathered? We move into a time of greater diplomacy, right relationships, and creating global win-win situations. Prepare to feel amazed.

Aries: Mars is in Leo this month, and you are being called to stop acting like a sheep and instead act more like a lion. Step up to bat, enjoy a leadership role, and take proper pride in your accomplishments now.

Gemini: Mercury goes into Sag, and after all that transformative work last month, you are ready to graduate on to higher truths. Use your sword, your pen, and your tongue to activate the highest wisdom in all communication.

Cancer: There is a shift this month in you, Moonchild, in particular in changing your inner critic to being your inner coach. Let go of beating yourself up with the "I should" and instead empower yourself with "I will".

Virgo: The Virgin is not "she who never has had sex" but is "She who is whole unto herself." Let this be your mantra this month, Virgo, coming back into wholeness after every gift of service. We appreciate you.

Libra: After weighing and deciding for so long, now is to step into your power of making good judgments. Venus moves into sexy Scorpio, all the more reason to be discerning. Justice is served.

Sagittarius: After feeling like "one step forward, two steps back", notice that you can change your patterns while remaining in the dance. Seek higher learning and celestial inspirations in preparing for your re-birth day.
Capricorn: Saturn moves into Libra, and Caps will notice a certain increase in tension in their relationships. Whether it's positive tension or frustration is up to you when setting your intentions. Stop butting heads.

Aquarius: Uranus is the trickster, Coyote, the Wild Card. What games are you playing, Aquarius? Keep it light and friendly, social and graceful, and always eclectic and electric. Change is our friend.
Pisces: Neptune goes direct, allowing you to move into more equilibrium, especially in balancing the material world with spiritual wealth. Purify with hot showers, hot tubs, & sauna's to prepare for winter health. Feel blessed.

“Discontent is the first step towards progress”. So many folks seem so unhappy lately, this quote sprang to mind. If you're happy with life, one doesn't change. It's only when we're unhappy that we do start to change - look at health care! It took a long time for this country to be discontent enough to change presidents.

If you feel stuck in a rut, reach out - to a friend, a healer, your senator, etc. Take action rather than choosing to remain depressed. Change is our friend! There is a feeling of universal exasperation, but all displeasure is released with good information, and the true opportunity lies in dealing with what’s in front of you, rather than acting like a victim.

It is a revolutionary time - indeed, the last time Pluto was in Capricorn was during the Boston Tea Party. Now is the moment to look at your deepest motivations, and after re-exam to move into rebirth. With Saturn squaring Pluto, we are reminded of the Freemasons, who knew how to hold a thought, and how to hold a commitment. Remember to begin with small, gentle adjustments, and the slower the change, the more real and long lasting the results.

Aries: Mars spends half the month in Cancer, half in Leo. Now is a good time to nurture your deepest desires before bursting forth to show the world your splendor. Think big hair, not a big head, for Halloween.

Taurus: Venus shifts into Libra mid-month, allowing you deeper, healthier relationships. Begin ruminating on long term changes. Tap into your tenacious nature to hang onto what you really value the most.

Gemini: Quick silver Mercury goes through 3 signs in October- Virgo, Libra and Scorpio, and all feels accelerated for the sign of the Twins. Double your purpose and double your communication skills, my friend.

Cancer: The Sun is Squaring Cancer most of the month - notice what tension you feel in your relationships, and where you need to pay attention the most. Be kind to your body - remember, winter is around the corner.

Leo: Leo's are feeling the Sun in Libra, and are taking pains to shine in their relationships, or are caught roaring out their frustrations. Pull that thorn out of your paw and begin the healing process this fall.

Virgo: Chiron, the wounded healer, urges all Virgo's to move out of being a victim to being the hero of their health. Take charge of reintegrating resources. What old habit do you really need to let go of this winter?

Libra: Venus shines her love light on your soul’s purpose this month, allowing you to review your life’s intentions with gentleness, kindness, and compassion. Your diplomatic skills are honed and will be put to use.

Scorpio: Slow moving Pluto in Capricorn climbs one degree up the mountain, but all that deep seated patience pays off in the end. Allow yourself to fixate upon your true ambitions while letting go of past obsessions.

Sagittarius: Expansive Jupiter finally goes direct in Aquarius, and we move out of being in a glut to greater refinement. Ask better questions - instead of “Why is this happening” ponder “How will this strengthen me?”
Capricorn: Saturn spends it’s last hurrah in Virgo in this month, after 2.5 years in the sign of the hermit. Notice the difference between having a love life and a love of life. You are wholehearted now.

Aquarius: Uranus continues to retrograde in Pisces, allowing all Aquarians to tap into their dreams for lighting flashes of inspiration. Notice your thirst for knowledge - what will you do to quench it? Take a class.
Pisces: Your lovely planet Neptune continues to retrograde in Aquarius, having you review your feelings of faith and of being tested. Doubt your doubts, not the love. Compassion is your greatest strength.

09/09/09: Moon in Taurus

2009-09-09T21:09:00.000-07:00

It's 09/09/09 and spam texts (spexts?) about what a lucky day you will have by forwarding this message. "Luck is being prepared for opportunity when it comes" is what springs to mind, this Moon in Taurus & Mercury Retrograde Tuesday.

I started the day around 6:30 am posting on Twitter that now was a good time to re-assess all you value most. Health, time, money, possessions, resources or laughter? Send thanks.

At 7:30 am I began my Leads group by writing on the board "What do I value? In myself, in my business, in my clients?" and had the members meditate upon this during our 60 seconds of silence. At the end of the meeting, during our second promotional, members shared what it was they valued.

It was so powerful to hear these 20 women affirm over and over how much they valued being connected to their clients, for being in service, and for being able to give their gifts, whether the ancient art of acupuncture, sound advice on healthy nutrition, or the ability to bring ease and organization into someone's life.

Taurus rules the second house in astrology: our physical bodies, physical homes, gardens, possessions, money, all that we "have" in our lives. We hear a lot about "family values" as some sort of moral staging, but to value something means to take care of it, to cherish and tend to it. I'm getting ready to teach my class on Creative Abundance in a few weeks, and what came to me today was: "In order for your Assets to Appreciate—Appreciate your Assets." Just watch - it'll be my next tweet.

Mercury is just kissing Libra before sliding back into the arms of Virgo, who could be aptly named Sweeping Beauty. All of my appointments today had the theme of "cleaning house", those psychic cobwebs of the mind. What with Jupiter retro all summer, a lot of folks have felt stuck in a glut - Jupiter can be the gourmet or the gourmand. The gourmet wants the finest in life - the gourmand just wants to have his cake and then eat two. The opportunity for reviewing one's health and in particular one's habits is really up for grabs right now. Notice what used to be comforting is now just comfortable. It's time to stop medicating and start meditating. Value your body, value your personal space, and begin to make small gentle adjustments to ease yourself into a sense of well being.

So what do I value? Here's what I shared:

I value myself, my business and my clients.
I value the trust my clients put into me.
I value the stories that they share-It keeps me humble and it keeps me helpful.

I value being a helpful person.
I value being a resource.
If I can't help you, I probably know somebody who can.

I value sharing the tools that I have learned.
I know they have made a difference in my life
and that they create ease in the lives of others.

I value my education.
I value my 23 years of experience.
I value myself as a good listener.

I value my integrity.

Blessed Be.

And remember, you create your own luck!

Sun moves into Virgo on Saturday, August 22. Happy Lammas! We are now halfway between Summer Solstice and Fall Equinox. Lammas is the time of the unexpected gift. In the past it was the time of lambs and kittens, early harvests and abundant gardens. Look into your life and count your blessings - spread the seeds of kindness and appreciation, and surprise a friend or two with a random act of kindness. We reap Virgo energy throughout the month, as Mercury goes retro and Saturn has it's last hurrah in the sign of The Hermit. Devote time to further development of a creative passion, whatever speaks to your heart's content.

Full Moon in Pisces on Friday, September 4. Time to purify. Hot showers, hot baths, hot tubs and saunas all release toxins naturally and effectively. Transmute old poisons, shed your skin, wash away the past to feel cleansed and renewed. Neti pots cleanse the sinuses & clear the head of congested thoughts.

New Moon in Virgo on Friday, September 18. In another time and place, in a far off glen, a gentle maiden sits and awaits a unicorn. With patience and trust, tenderness and kindness, what magical being to you invite into your safest of havens? Prepare for magic to occur.

Mercury retrograde in Virgo from Monday, September 7 to Monday, September 28, reaching origination Wednesday, October 14. Retros are about review, Virgo rules health, so now is the time to review all your health habits. Yeah, maybe you’re flossing your teeth, but where do you need some mental floss now? What crud has been gumming up your brain keeping you struck in the same old, same old? Saturn is here to push Mercury in creating new disciplines, conjunct with the Sun to shine the light on all your habits now.

Venus moves into Virgo Monday, September 21, and we can feel a little prudish during this time. All this Virgo energy makes us act like the Virgin, but remember that the Vestal Virgins were not girly girls who never had sex/knowledge, but the ancient priestesses who gave their sacred esoteric sexual energy for deeper healing to occur, no matter how much of themselves they gave to their supplicants. Practice the mantra, “I am whole unto myself.”

Mars in Cancer is opposing Pluto in Capricorn, and there is a warring in our emotions. Your real work now is your homework: creating peace in the home will be reflected in your career, so stop focusing on bringing home the bacon and take some time to do the proverbial dishes instead.

Saturn in Virgo for the next two months before moving into Libra, completing a 2.5 year cycle. This is the darkest hour as The Hermit, were we are compelled to find our own light (knowledge) before moving into relationships (Libra). Conjunct with Mercury, we find ourselves reviewing our structures, our limitations, our goals and our sense of self-discipline. Change your inner critic to be your inner coach and get ready to graduate now. I’m proud of you.

Jupiter, Neptune, and Chiron retrograde in Aquarius propels us to pay attention to our dreams, day and night, for sudden insights and flashes of inspiration. Keep a dream journal and begin to notice the trends and themes. All the answers are buried deep within, and the key is truly within your grasp. Jupiter in Aquarius encourages you to expand your knowledge and ways of receiving information. Part of this process will be to distinguish which buttons are being pushed now - old wounds or accelerated healing? You get to decide.

Pluto in Capricorn goes stationary direct on Friday, September 11. What else do you remember from 9/11? And in your life, what twin towers have been destroyed? What twin flames have been reborn? Rise from the ashes.

Uranus in Pisces continues to oppose Saturn, shaking up all of our structures now. My house mate’s mom had a stroke - the question becomes, how to turn it into a stroke of genius? Where ever you felt clotted, in mind, heart or soul, dissolve your blocks in whatever way works for you, and feel the increased flow in all aspects of your life.

AstroChat for the Signs

Aries: Access your fire, and all your fiery temperaments - passion, impatience and tempers run high. Use your urgency to get back on track and be a warrior with a cause instead of burning out on sheer irritation.

Taurus: By shining the light of understanding on your source of illness, dis-ease or inner tension, open up your passage for healing to occur. In this process you will be available to re-balance all of your systems, on all levels. You are doing great.

Gemini: Aallow loving kindness to become your devotion, and pursue the people who care about you and who appreciate your caring in return. While widening your social network, don't ignore or put off those who have been consistently at your center. They deserve love too.

Cancer: In this time of the harvest, gather your friends and close family for a summer picnic. Labor in love this labor day, and reconnect with all of your resources for the wintry times ahead.

Leo: Who knew the crossroads would have so many options, so many twists and turns, with so many travelers coming and going. Gather up all the information you need, oh Leo, before wisely choosing your path for the future.

Virgo: "We are at a threshold. We are going to see change. If we can create the vision in our heart, it will spread. As women of wisdom we cannot be divided. As bringers of light, we have no choice but to join together." - Agnes Baker Pilgrim www.GrandmothersCouncil.com.

Libra: Now is the time to sit in council and discuss common destiny, whether time for release or time to re-lease. It is not by cordoning ourselves off from others that we learn to find comfort or solace, but by being witness and responsible for our behavior that we create caring environments for love to flourish and thrive.

Scorpio: Seek out company for brewing up plans for a better future. After drinking that pint (or two) of bitterness, you're ready to team up with co-conspirators in pleasure, mischief, and fierce visions of unimaginable joy.

Sagittarius: "There is a rising in my blood/ Full of heat and righteous fury..." - Amber Bijen Maywald. Channel your outrage into social action before succumbing to depression or despair, my fiery Sag friend. Now is the time to seek not just the higher truth, but higher justice. Write that letter, sign that petition, call your representative. Your voice is more important than maybe you realize.

Capricorn: Close your eyes and see the angels that are there. Allow yourself to listen to the inner voices, giving you guidance and care as you climb this particular mountain of your own sweet ambitions. I'm right behind you, every step of the way.

Aquarius: Everything is possible and everything is a promise, starting with your self, oh Aquarius one. Let go of antiquated notions and embrace all that eccentric and serendipitous. Magic is in the air and you can glitter - if you dare.
Pisces: Time to let your hair down, Pisces, and stop being so pragmatic in order to shift into the paradoxical. I know you want it all, and guess what? You can have it all- in fact, you already do. Enjoy the bliss you've worked so hard to create, instead of looking for another problem to fix.

Sun in Leo: AstroChat for August 2009

2009-07-21T06:15:00.000-07:00

We move from the New Moon in Cancer on Monday, July 20 and roar into the summer as the Sun and Mercury enter the sign of Leo on July 22. Shake out your mane but check your ego at the door. Now is the time to voice your prides and joys, and to come into touch with your core values and beliefs. Open your generous heart to receive these sunny energies, recharging your batteries before the winter time ahead. The tide is turning, in more ways than one.

Venus and Mars in Gemini We're all familiar with the law of attraction (Venus) but it really works well when combined with the power of desire (Mars). What do you desire to communicate right now? How will this attract exactly what you need in order to grow? The glyph for Gemini symbolizes the twin pillars of the temple - how are you taking care of your home and health now? The energies of Venus and Mars are here for you now like blowing a gentle breeze into a wide unfurling sail. Launch your dreams by speaking your truth in a kind voice.

Saturn in Virgo opposing Uranus in Pisces continues to aid us in sorting out the past and shifting out the clutter. Take a moment with your counselor, doctor, healer of friend to let go of that old emotional baggage and to find the tools that will serve to improve your life now. Yeah, now. Not later. Now. Remember, "The most important promises are the ones I make to myself." -Marianne Radmacher

Jupiter, Neptune, and Chiron retrograde in Aquarius. Jupiter is the planet of hope and optimism. What happens when hope retrogrades? Does it turn into despair, or does it review and renew itself? Take a moment to notice where there has been great disappointment, the seed of hope lies deep in the ashes and embers. What will you nurture now?

Pluto in Capricorn is squaring Uranus in Pisces. There is a feeling in tension between working on our careers and working on our soul. Recognize that your job right now is to work on yourself, whatever that means to you. What is it to have physical fitness, emotional fitness, spiritual fitness and intellectual fitness? Are you exercising your body and mind, in playful and constructive ways? The more you tend to yourself, the more the money will come. Be well.

AstroChat for the Signs

Aries: Time to take the reins, my Aries friends. Are you letting you desires control you, or are you controlling my desires? It's time to feed your soul, not just your physical appetites. Stabilize your foundation before charging forward.

Taurus: Time to experience happiness, oh Taurus. Wash the past right out of your hair, see how your cup has been refilled, and bask in the glory of the waterfall. Abundance is here now. As Rob Breszney would say, "You can have anything you want, as long as you ask for it in an unselfish tone of voice."

Gemini: Pele the volcano says, listen to my more gentle rumblings before I explode in righteous anger. Or implode, for that matter. Where are you angry at yourself, Gemini? Time to forgive and move on. Stop focusing on the guilt and start focusing on the good and then give yourself kisses on both cheeks.

Cancer: Now is the time for analysis, my Cancer friend - go get some counseling, go on a walk, talk with a peer or colleague. Through dialogue and discussion you'll find the essential truth - we are all one (alone) when we're together (two gather).

Leo: Conflicts abound, my Leo friend, but how are you participating in the soap opera? Get off the soap box, stop being a drama queen, and come into your true power - when coming from the heart, place of compassion, everyone loves and admires you, truly.

Virgo: Stop giving your power away, Virgo. Jealousy is like battery acid, eating away your stomach lining. You are a total babe and whole unto to yourself - Transform those toxic emotions before you erode your soul with emotional decay.

Libra: Pass the talking stick around the circle; learn to share power when sharing essential truths. Look at your circle of friends, groups and neighborhood associations. Take time to put in your proverbial two cents worth and reap the riches of deep listening to co-workers, colleagues, clients or customers.

Scorpio: Cerridwen, Crone of Falmes, comes to remind you of your shape shifting powers, oh Scorpio. Travel in your mind and to the realms beyond. Stir up the emotional cauldron of truth to dredge up the past and transform the future. I believe in you.

Sagittarius: The stars are pouring forth a stream of celestial intelligence to you now, Sagitarius. Will you go forth to spread he wealth or will you pig out on this feast of information? Choose wisely - angels are whispering to you now.
Capricorn: Outsmart deception by opening your eyes and checking all your blind spots. Reconcile your check book, that relationship, whatever it is that you have been fending off for so long. I'm lighting a candle for you, my Capricorn friend, and I believe it you.

Aquarius:Decisions, decisions, decisions? Remember that triad (Neptune, Jupiter and Chiron) are all in your sign, oh Aquarius, challenging your souls purpose to get a grip on that scythe and slice through indecision and hesitation now. Tap into the Internet and get feedback from your networks, like a spider at the center of it's web.

Pisces: Turn your anger into action before drowning in desperation or depression. Saturn is opposing your sign to remind you of the mantra, "Let my lessons be more gentle; Let my teachers be kinder." Move from misery into compassion by sharing your woes and listening to others. Healing is here.

Sanctuary

2009-06-22T12:30:00.000-07:00

Thunder and lightning set the stage

As Ares drives his fiery chariot
In a burst of brilliance across the milky way
And into the night, leaving behind
A trail of spinning planets and falling stars
Like rain, but lighting up the sky.

In the wake of such splendor
Radiant energy - Sparkling, exhilarating, chaotic,
Flying, flying - The laughing of the wind,
Singing out the planets,
Our souls cry out
Far more than this earth can give.

The whole universe is throbbing in tune with itself;
The greater universe is our sanctuary;
Where we go when all is lost,
To the comfort of Moon and Stars.

-Mary Duncan

AstroChat for July 2009

Sun in Cancer/Leo Happy Summer Solstice! Whether you're proud to be an American at the 4th of July or proud of your transgendered child at a Gay Pride Parade (Go Chaz!), now is the time to find out what you are proud of in your life. Your ancestry? Your sports team? Your college? Your accomplishments? And who is in your pride- your family, your colleagues, your co-workers, your classmates? Throw one bigol' party in the name of peace this summer, and remember to invite me.

Full Moon in Capricorn Use your emotions as a barometer as you explore new terrains in your inner landscape. Find what makes you happy and stay there.

New Moon in Leo New beginnings in family, relationships, siblings and neighbors are occurring, and now is the time to create the support network you'll need for next winter.

Mercury in Gemini/Cancer Mercury moves out of it's native Gemini in the first few days of the month, moving into soothing Cancer after the lingering effects of a long retrograde last May. Speak of love.

Venus in Taurus/Gemini Venus glides into lovely Gemini in the early part of the month, bringing grace to all your communications. She is all a Twitter and tweaking her profiles, since social networking is what she does best.

Mars in Taurus/Gemini All that spring cleaning is finally paying off, and Mars moving into Gemini has us taking action on what was only a dream before. Try a different approach in connecting with others and communicate your deepest desires.

Saturn in Virgo is sextile the Sun - There is a certain opportunity for you now to nurture your health and happiness, or to restructure your finances in a healthier way, but only if you act on it quick. Strike while the iron is hot.

Jupiter, Neptune, and Chiron retrograde in Aquarius Another portal is opened on July 10, when these three are exact again - Think back to May 26, when the first portal appeared. This energy will occur again on December 21. Important doors are opening for you now - Prepare to step through them.

Pluto in Capricorn Pluto moves back to the first degrees of Capricorn, having us re-begin projects that we have been procrastinating on. Pluto is still squaring Uranus in Pisces, so it can shake our belief systems, our faith in ourselves, to find we have to start from scratch. Remember, fall down nine times - Get up ten.

AstroChat for the Signs

Aries: Take some time to yourself, relish in the bath tub, exfoliate the past and preen for the present. Luxuriate in solitude and fear notaloneness - You are bright shiny star, Aries, polish up those dull and boring edges and get ready to twinkle!

Taurus: While we all love being in love, my sweet Taurus, don't let infatuate be a distraction. An affair now could be a long detour - ask yourself, do I want to get laid, or do I want to get married? Keep your hands on the wheel and you'll reach the love shack sooner than you think.

Gemini: What does loyalty mean to you, Gemini? On one hand, how are you loyal to yourself? On the other hand, where do you feel compromised? When feeling stuck between the two sides, remember to bring your hands together - there is always a third option.

Cancer: Raise a toast for all your accomplishments, Cancer! Now is the time to be the master of your emotions, rather than letting your emotions master you. How will you continue to take charge this summer? Remember to rule with kindness.

Leo: Happy Birthday Leo! Another year completed - You learned your lessons, you learned them well, you graduated and now you get to move on... Take a well earned break before deciding just what you will do next. A new teacher awaits you.

Virgo: All the neighbors are noticing you, Virgo. Your house, your garden, your car - take the time to spiff up with some elbow grease, a new coat of paint, and a fresh wax job instead of buying anything new - Your efforts to reduce, reuse and recycle are more impressive and have more of animpact than you think.

Libra: I know you've been feeling moody and moon-y, my fellow Libras, lunatic to the core. It has been a crazy time as emotional tides ride high and low, leaving the flotsam of doubt upon mental shores. Sleep late this summer - your beauty rest will restore and rejuvenate your sweetest of dreams.

Scorpio: Everything is sunny side up for you, Scorpio! Feel the searing heat penetrate your armour and soak up the energy of the solstice. Make art, make love, make peace this summer and remember - All acts of creation are acts of liberation.

Sagittarius: Time for balance, my fiery friend: Balance your diet, your checkbook, work and play, being social and being soulful. Travel into your higher mind and use your day dreams for mental vacations. Everything will be stable before changing again.
Capricorn: Everything looks like a nail, when you only have a hammer. What new tools can you add to your mental toolbox, Cap? Take a class or volunteer this summer - you'll be surprised at your people skills.

Aquarius: Now is the time to take stock of your proverbial kingdom, whether queen of the kitchen or Lord of the Bar-B-Que. Let go of instant gratification and come back to the goodness found only in home made, from scratch, recipes. Time is on your side.

Pisces: Now is the time to transcend deceptions, my dear Pisces, but mostly self-deception. Put down that mop and broom, admit you can't do it all by yourself, and open your arms to receiving the help you need. Speak your truth even if your voice shakes.

AstroChat for June 2009

Sun in Gemini Inward, outward, up, down... feeling like a yo-yo this last month? Or maybe like a slingshot? Boomerang effects rebound as the Sun joins Mercury in Gemini, sign of the Twins. Where do you find yourself fraternizing, and where do you find those identical to you? Both serve a purpose. Now is a great time to start a journal.

Full Moon in Sagittarius on Sunday, June 7. What are your emotional goals? To be in love? To feel happy? To feel secure? Take aim at your desires, pull back to write a plan, and follow through by not breaking any more promises to yourself. I know you can do it.

New Moon in Cancer on Monday, June 22: Allow yourself to feel safe in your vulnerabilities. Be like the soft-shelled crab, allowing new growth to occur, particularly in your belly wisdom.

Mercury in Gemini What a long, strange retrograde it's been. Now is the time to apply all that you had to review these last three weeks. How will you communicate differently this time around? Remember to love the messenger as well as the message.

Venus and Mars move into Taurus Their fiery tempers spent, the two lovers now resolve for a more grounded approach. Move on to more fertile pastures, drink from a deeper well, and allow yourself all the lush sensuousness of sweet summer blossoms.

Saturn turns direct in Virgo Again, what are your health goals? What does health mean to you? Emotional, physical, financial, intellectual, sexual, and spiritual health? How will you improve your health? More exercise, better nutrition, different vitamins & supplements?Will you get regular massages, acupuncture, or chiropractic care? Is it time for an exam, mammogram, or blood test? What will rejuvenate you most now? Restructure your priorities and make self-care number one on your list. Invest in yourself: The money is always there for self care.

Uranus conjunct Saturn in Pisces has us looking at what has crumbled in our lives, and what is being reborn from the ashes. Choose to create something real and long lasting this time, instead of a castle of clouds and dreams.

Jupiter, Neptune and Chiron all retrograde in Aquarius Once again, how have you changed your deepest wound into your greatest gift? How can you stop picking at the past to let scar tissue form? You are stronger than you realize, stronger than before.

Pluto in Capricorn The message is, “transform or die.” Time to clean house. What needs to die in order for your deeper transformations to occur? Where do you feel you need the most improvements? Remember, the slower the change, the more meaningful & long lasting the results.

AstroChat for the Signs

Aries: Now is the time for appraisal. What needs to be weeded out so that all those lovely seeds you planted can flourish? But also remember to take a moment to enjoy the garden, and not just see the work to be done. Summer is here!

Taurus: Busy, busy, busy Taurus, try to let yourself paddle down stream for awhile. All the hustle & bustle, all the change, can leave you feeling disgruntled if you don’t let something go.

Gemini: Decisions, decisions, decisions. Just what will you do to celebrate your birthday, oh Gemini? Whether the Queen of Duality or the Prince of Polarity, now is the time to use both sides of your nature to satisfy your soul’s cravings.

Cancer: The world is your oyster - and like the oyster, notice all the grit of past irritation and how through rubbing against the mother, a pearl of wisdom is born. stop side stepping the issue, my Cancer friend, and you will find yourself coming home.

Leo: We’re all familiar with the law of attraction, but now is the time to harness the power of your desires, Leo. Find your center, take the reins, and keep your eyes on the prize, my friend, success is just around the bend.

Virgo: Saturn turns direct in your sign, my lovely Virgo, and now is the time to feel restored, renewed, and rejuvenated. What will feel deeply satisfying now? Release old addictions, emotional hangovers, and disruptive patterns. New emotional beginnings are available to you now.

Libra: You’re being tested to come into your diplomatic powers, my Libra friend. Just how will you create a win-win situation? Remember that a mirror reflects a need, it doesn’t fulfill it.

Scorpio: Running with scissors again, Scorpio? While I know you’re feeling impatient to collaborate on that big project, just slow it down a little, before you poke a friend out. Savor these summer moments.

Sagittarius: Your mantra for this month is “I now embrace change as a doorway to a more peaceful existence.” Feel what it is like to get off of that emotional roller coaster and choose to meet your soul mate on the more gentle merry go round of life.

Capricorn: Damn, you’ve got it going on, Cap! Remember to take off that crown now and then - even the Queen needs to take a crap.Are you controlling your finances, or are they controlling you?

Aquarius: Industriousness pays off, and you should be feeling high on that ladder of success soon. It’s all about energy - change feeling like a victim to a hero; from feeling wounded to being healed. Everything is supporting you now.

Pisces: New beginnings for you, my friendly Pisces, new beginnings abound. Allow yourself to cultivate beginners minds - take a summer class or workshop in something you know nothing about and delight in having no expectations of your self, only new discoveries.

Sun in Taurus: AstroChat for May 2009

2009-05-01T18:53:00.000-07:00

Astro Chat for May 2009

Sun in Taurus Happy Beltane. Take a journey in the garden of your mind. Take the time to weed out negative thoughts and to plant the seeds of change, seeds of peace, seeds of love, and of course every one's favorite- seed money.

Full Moon in Scorpio on Sunday, May 10: Honor all your Mothers today - birth mother, grand mothers, and all the nurturing women in your life. New Moon in Taurus on Sunday, May 24: Release feeling obstinate and stubborn and instead find your healthy determination and tenacity.

Mercury Retrograde in Gemini/Taurus Whatever you resist, persists. Now is the time to examine what you are defending so hard (especially in your communication) and see how your participation is actually creating conflict. Stop being a bully and holding others emotional hostage. Remember to use honey instead of vinegar with all of your words.

Venus in Aries conjunct Mars in Aries Attraction and Desire do an ecstatic dance over the night sky, these two lovers conjunct in a passionate embrace. With all this fire, fire, fire, ask yourself: is this just the spark of a match, the steadiness of the candle or the sustainability of the hearth?

Jupiter in Aquarius is squaring Vesta in Gemini, asteroid goddess of the hearth and home. Jupiter is the great exaggerator, so you might feel extra energy in any place where you feel duality. It's up to you to decide if you feel a tug of war or a balancing act between polarities. Remember, there is always a third option. How will you tend to your own sacred flame now?

Neptune conjunct Chiron in Aquarius and Saturn Retrograde in Virgo all speak to the current swine flu crisis, and the need for reviewing our health habits from microcosm to macrocosm. We need to wash our hands in more ways than one, boost our immune systems instead of our defense systems, and remember we all breathe the same air. What are you doing on you part to be green, clean and all the more serene?

Uranus in Pisces Neil Giles writes: The last era of Uranus in Pisces is now remembered as the era of jazz and gin, flappers and gangsters, the Roaring Twenties and prohibition where the urge was to live an intoxicating carefree life, without thought for tomorrow. This was an era that began in the ruins left by the Great War and the horrors of the Spanish flu, a plague that was to claim more than twenty million lives as it raged through 1918 and 1919. This was a world that turned from despair to hope as it embraced pleasure and decadence while stock markets climbed to unprecedented heights. This was an era that was blindly hurtling towards the edge of a precipice, the Great Crash of 1929, and the rocks below it, the Great Depression. Pisces marks the end of a cycle, a submergence of the self into the more powerful or transcendent forces at work in the cosmos.

Pluto in Capricorn is squaring Venus & Mars, making some experience the battle of the sexes while others are rutting like little goat herders. All is not fair in love or in war, and it is up to you to create if not a win-win situation at least a more even playing field.

Think about it, there must be higher love
Down in the heart or hidden in the stars above
Without it, life is a wasted time
Look inside your heart, I'll look inside mine
Things look so bad everywhere
In this whole world, what is fair?
We walk blind and we try to see
Falling behind in what could be

Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love
Where's that higher love I keep thinking of?

-Steve Winwood

Sun in Aries: AstroChat for April 2009

2009-04-01T18:51:00.000-07:00

Astro Chat for April 2009

Venus continues to retrograde until tax day. How appropriate. Read those documents at least three times before you sign. Having traveled through fiery Aries, it’s detriment, for a brief time Venus floats in exalted Pisces, allowing our love of spirit and our spirit of love to flourish. All the lessons of love and finance that you have been reviewing for the past six weeks now come to the point where you get to apply what it is that you have learned. Look for forward motion starting mid month, and allow Venus’ gentle love light to guide you through your darkest night.

Aries: Your ruling plant, Mars, is in the sign of Pisces
You are finding yourself after the spring thaw, the winter sludge. Like the black bear waking up after a long sleep, feed your self, your soul, before looking for your mate. Mars will soon be an Aries - pick your battles and channel your fires into win-win situations or consider mediation.

Taurus: Your ruling plant, Venus, is in the sign of Pisces
Taurus is tenacious, slow to move, deep-rooted and deeply convicted. After a long as deliberation, slow plodding steps move you towards your chosen destiny.

Gemini: Your ruling plant, Mercury, is in the sign of Aries
Calm that fiery tongue! Curl your tongue to the roof of your mouth at least seven times before speaking. Or at least, review that email seven times before pushing send...

Cancer: Your ruling plant, The Moon, is full in Libra and new in Aries this month
How do you relate to your emotions? How do your emotions help you relate? Now is the time to find peace and balance in your hearth and home.

Leo: Your ruling plant, The Sun, is in the sign of Aries
“How glorious it is, and also how painful, to be an exception. Now is the time to discover your exceptional self, Leo, and to glory in your self.

Virgo: Your ruling plant, Chiron, is in the sign of Aquarius
Look for new and innovative ways to receive information. Don’t dismiss anything as coincidence. There are miraculous moments in the mundane world.

Libra: Your ruling plant, Venus, is in the sign of Pisces
Doubt your doubts, not the love. Instead of getting lost in the relationship, why not take a moment to find your self. Find yourself laughing, enjoying, being in love, deeply in love, starting from the center of your being and spirally outwards from your core...

Scorpio: Your ruling plant, Pluto, is in the sign of Capricorn
You are threshing the wheat, changing the chaff into gold. Say your own name out loud as a spell and surely Rumpelstiltskin will disappear.

Sagittarius: Your ruling plant, Jupiter, is in the sign of Aquarius
Bark less, wag more. I know you hate your homework. Just do it, get it over with, and you’ll have all the time you want to play...

Capricorn: Your ruling plant, Saturn, is in the sign of Virgo
What are your health ambitions, and how far have you progressed in achieving them, oh Capricorn? Don’t give up now, it’s just a plateau. You know you can go deeper, higher, further than before. Try resistance training.

Aquarius: Your ruling plant,Uranus, is in the sign of Pisces
Ground yourself. It is a shocking time, the combination of electricity and water, and it’s important to keep the conduits clean. Let your mind be a lightening rod for inspiration rather than getting crispy fried at this time.

Pisces: Your ruling plant, Neptune, is in the sign of Aquarius
Yes, old structures are crumbling. Yes, you need to look at yourself. meet the process half way by instigating new approaches to old problems. You’ll feel liberated from the past soon - why repeat the same mistakes? Learn, grow, and move on from this experience...

Sun in Pisces : AstroChat for March 2009

2009-03-01T18:49:00.000-08:00

AstroChat for March

Full Moon in Virgo on Tuesday, March 10, 2009. Harvest the thought: I am whole unto myself. How do my emotions renew my spirit? New Moon in Aries on Thursday, March 26, 2009: Seed thought: Spring is here! How do I enjoy every glorious moment of being?

Mercury in Aquarius Bloggers are blogging, twitters are tweeting, cell phones are beeping, and social networking is on the rise. Everyone has something to say as Daylight Savings bring early evenings and all the neighbors gossiping across virtual fences.

Venus Retrograde in Aries for the next seven weeks. Venus rules love and money, retrogrades always mean review, review, review and Aries is about the emerging self. Financial investments and emotional investments will be under close scrutiny at this time.

Mars in Aquarius What do you get when you merge fire and water? Steam. Are you just blowing it off or channelling it like a locomotive engine to get to where you really want to be?

Jupiter in Aquarius magnifies Mercury's energy. "A man is known by the company he keeps." Take a moment to examine what groups you belong to, how you identify, what blogrolls are you on. Allow yourself to graduate - prune out the ones that are no longer a reflection of your higher self.

Saturn Retrograde in Virgo is opposing Uranus in Pisces. More dissolving of old structures, paving new ways, new economies. Speaking of, how is your personal economy? Now is the time to rewrite your business plan, create a budget, and get ahold of your own personal finances.

Neptune in Aquarius There is a feeling of treading water, treading water...with a fear of exhaustion and becoming dead weight. This is an illusion (False Evidence Appearing Real). Allow yourself to float free and to feel the Universe supporting your whole being.

Pluto in Capricorn Poor Pluto has such a bad rap, but without our friend Death, the world would be one REALLY overpopulated place. Become friends with death - physical and otherwise - for only when old ways die can evolution occur.

Chiron in Aquarius How glorious it is - and also how painful - to be an exception. -Alfred De Musset

Sun in Aquarius: AstroChat for February 2009

2009-02-01T18:47:00.000-08:00

When the Moon is in the seventh house

and Jupiter aligns with Mars.

Then peace will guide the planets

and love will steer the stars

Sun in Aquarius Aquarius is the sign of self knowledge & wisdom. We are six weeks away from Spring Equinox, the sap is rising, the light returning. Stand up now and speak for your cause - miraculous possibilities are sparkling all around.

Full Moon in Leo on Monday, February 9, 2009. Harvest the thought: How do I show my emotions? How do my emotions show me what I need? Shed your ego of the past & take pride in your friends and family.

New Moon in Pisces on Wednesday, February 25, 2009: Seed thought: How do I transcend my past limitations? What seeds of truth do I plant now?

Mercury in Capricorn/Aquarius, stationary direct on Sunday, February 1. 2009. How can you increase your communication skills? Do you need to write more, listen more, or be silent more? After a long retrograde feeling like the great wind up, Mercury feels like being slung out of a wrist rocket at times. Buckle up & enjoy the ride.

Venus in Aries on Tuesday, February 3, 2009. This is the time of self love and self care. What do you need to refresh your spirit, renew your self, and rejuvenate your being to feel the most deliciously attractive as possible? A massage, facial, retreat, membership to the gym? Make a commitment to tend to your body this month.

Mars in Aquarius on Thursday, February 5, 2009. Our desire for new knowledge impels us to seek out new information in unusual and eclectic ways. Expect to feel electrical charges and lighting flashes of insight. Take a chance and see what happens at the Masquerade ball.

Jupiter in Aquarius exaggerates Mars energy, making us all put on our detective hats and get out our magnifying glasses. While self examination is always a valuable experience, do not over confabulate your symptoms like a first year med student suffering from all diseases.

Saturn Retrograde in Virgo is opposing Uranus in Pisces.We are being challenged now to step off of the crucifix of suffering, and to change our internal structures to be more like the cross of a kite. There are times to fly free and times to reel in - who is holding the end of your particular string?

Neptune in Aquarius emphasizes collective humanitarian movements and the co-creation of social justice. Pay attention to your dreams, both night- & day-dreams. Start a dream journal - write or sketch your visions, coloring and embellishing upon them. Feed your imagination and try to use new eyes everyday.

Pluto in Capricorn since December 25, 2008. Well, I've already mentioned that little goat, climbing mountains, seeing new ones. But to get to that other mountain, you need to go down into the valley. But guess what? It's not all dark and treacherous down there - in fact, it's well worth the journey. Just go slow, my sure-footed one...

Chiron in Aquarius The wounded healer offers us the opportunity to heal the schisms that have separated us for so long, beginning with the original separation of self from source. Speak your truth and you will find the connection & empathy you have been for which you have been longing. You are home in your heart - Your heart is your home.

Sun in Capricorn: AstroChat for January 2009

2009-01-01T18:41:00.000-08:00

Tap into the celestial tides to enhance your souls journey on your chosen life path. Let this be the gift of usable energy in any way that is beneficial to you now. Take in any information that resonates with your current situation, and simply disregard the rest. Blessed Be.

Sun in Capricorn since Sunday, December 21, 2008. Capricorn is the sign of the goat. The goat sees the mountain, climbs it, then sees another mountain. What are your ambitions? What are your three wishes for the New Year? What if, instead of saying “I wish...” you said, “I will...”

Full Moon in Cancer on Saturday, January 10, 2009. Seed thought: How do I nourish my emotions? How do my emotions nourish me?

New Moon in Aquarius (Lunar Imbolc) on Sunday, January 25, 2009: Seed thought: How am I a unique individual? What is my contribution to humanity as a whole?

Mercury Retrograde in Aquarius on Sunday, January 11, stationary direct on Sunday, February 1. 2009Review, review, review. Retrogrades are the Universe’s reminder to review the lessons recently learned in order to apply them to your life later on. Back up your computers, wait on those big ticket items, read the fine print three times, and remember a good book for all those unexpected delays.

Venus in Pisces since Sunday, January 4, 2009.

When I find myself in times of trouble,
mother Mary comes to me,
speaking words of wisdom,
let it be.
And in my hour of darkness
she is standing right in front of me,
speaking words of wisdom,
let it be.

Let it be, let it be, .....

-Beatles

Mars in Capricorn since December 27, 2008, reminds us: do we control our desires, or do our desires control us? Desire has a bad rap - from Christian guilt to Buddhist suffering, but the truth is, without desire we would never have evolved from being amoebas. Start shedding the guilt and use desire as the way you want to improve upon life: improve your health, improve your wealth, improve the economy. improve your communication, improve your sex life. Little horny goats like to rut, remember?

Jupiter in Aquarius since January 6, 2009. Now is the time to wake up to humanitarian calls. Where can you volunteer? How much can you tithe? Get out of debt & depreciation & step into financial management & appreciation. What you give returns threefold, and now is the time to quench your thirst for new knowledge. Put on your thinking cap, beginners mind, & get back to school, find your teachers, traditional or otherwise...

Saturn Retrograde in Virgo since December 31, 2008. What are your health goals? What does health mean to you? Emotional, physical, financial, intellectual, sexual, and spiritual health? How will you improve your health? More exercise, better nutrition, different vitamins & supplements?Will you get regular massages, acupuncture, or chiropractic care? Is it time for an exam, mammogram, or blood test? What will rejuvenate you most now? Restructure your priorities and make self-care number one on your list.

Uranus in Pisces direct since November 27, 2008. Sudden shifts in spiritual beliefs, concepts of compassion, and notions of what it means to be emancipated could occur. Uranus has an eccentric orbit, and is the joker, the wild card, Coyote - remember that laughter is the shortest distance between two people.

Neptune in Aquarius direct since November 1, 2008. The last year was been full of disappointments & disillusionment, as Neptune spent much of it’s time retro. Now direct motion impels us to cast off the illusions of the past to create new visions. Remember, all acts of creation are acts of liberation.

Pluto in Capricorn since December 25, 2008. Pluto's message is, “transform or die.” Time to clean house. What needs to die in order for your deeper transformations to occur? Where do you feel you need the most improvements? Remember, the slower the change, the more meaningful & long lasting the results.

Chiron in Aquarius direct since October 27, 2008. Yes, you are different. Thank goodness there was change. We are all different now. Tell me, how have you changed your deepest wound into your greatest gift? Inquiring minds want to know...
