This axis is one of the most intriguing. Virgo is earthly service and Pisces is spirituality. Mercury rules Virgo, giving us a sign that can analyze information and figure things out. Virgo energy during this full moon wants us to organize, do healthy things and be of service to our immediate family, friends and community. The pull on the other side of the heavens is the Pisces Sun. Pisces is often messy and really enjoys checking out. Some of those check out stations can be healthy (like reading a book, taking a walk, meditating, engaging with the arts) and some can be dangerous (alcohol, drugs, food, laziness (!), daydreaming). Pisces likes to get away from it all whereas Virgo is tuned in to the news and to chores that need doing. We may feel the pull of both of these energy during the full moon. As I sit here writing, all is quietness (except for a few cars passing up over the hill). I could drift off into that silence and that is Pisces. Or I can use the silence to guide me in the service of writing my astro tips. </p><p>Something that I see and hear many people talking about is how our belief systems are undergoing big changes. This full moon can be a guidebook for that process. The Pisces energy might bring us downloads about how our internal operating systems are being updated. The Virgo energy might find us with our heads in a self-help book or we may tune in to a podcast to ignite our unconscious. Now that Pluto has reached the sign of Aquarius we will be more aware of changes in our thinking and in our visions.</p><p>Of course it is always good to be on the lookout for the shadows of this polarity. A full moon in Virgo might bring forth the inner critical parent talk in your head or your partner may be critical (projecting an inner self criticism onto others). When Virgo is in one of its higher modalities (analysis of data, service to others and the planet), we are all uplifted. When Virgo goes into a who-is-to-blame-mode; or why-did-you-do-that-attack-mode; or let-me-give-you-some-sarcasm-mode, we want to get away! The full moon in Virgo says, be conscious. Think before you open up a negative stream of energy. Yoko Ono said, "Try to say nothing negative about anybody for three days, for forty-five days, for three months. See what happens to your life" Good advice to all os us. We all have Virgo lurking somewhere in our horoscopes.</p><p>One extremely important thing is going on during this full moon. That event is this: Chiron, the wounded healer, is in alignment with the north lunar node in the sign of Aries. Asteroid Chiron was discovered in the 1970's. It sits between Saturn and Uranus. Therefore it became known as the bridge from our worldly realm to the higher realms. This is when old healing modalities (e.g. herbs, acupuncture) and new Uranian healing methods (e.g. radionics, Reiki, energy healing) gave us alternative medicine. Chiron was a physician who could heal everyone but himself. We all have a chironic wound somewhere in our psyche. Right now, the lunar north node and Chiron have aligned at 16 degrees of Aries. Aries is the child in us. Perfect time to check in with your inner child. Inner children might be wanting to talk to us (February 12 -February 26 is the period of the exact alignment). Our beliefs about our childhood might be ripe for an update. There could be good news. There could be some settling in the cells. Maybe we can say goodbye to old beliefs about who we are. Maybe we can release old limitations, internally and externally. This pairing of Chiron and the north node is sitting alone, meaning the pairing is not making connection to other planets or to the moon or Sun. It may sneak up on you. Don't be alarmed. Another chapter of healing takes us to a new journey, what some are calling, a new time line. Indigo Williams, poet and educator, said, "On the journey to myself I've been so many people." Keep on keepin' on, right? Thanks for reading my Astro Tips.

Full Moon Leo 5 degrees<p> Astro Tips and more</p><p>January 25, 2024</p><p>Full Moon in the sign of Leo</p><p><br /></p><p>Leo rules the Sun. The Sun represents our identity. In the sign of Leo, we want to be seen and heard. We are expressing our identity in order to grow in body, mind and soul. Today's full moon in Leo encourages all of us to check in with our positive identity and with our longing to be center stage. Moon in Leo is also about self care. These days around the full moon in Leo, let your inner self talk to you. Right this moment, make a mental list of what you can do to take good care of yourself. Things like, get a massage, take more walks, eat Mediterranean, be more social, be less social (!), meditate more, love self more! Finally we get to the bottom of the list and see those words, love self more. Some people might be ready to move that item to the top of the list. This moon time can give us insight into beliefs and behaviors that might not be needed in our new operating system that requires self-care and self-love. It all gets down to being sweet to myself!</p><p>What if there are memories that remind us of our perceived inadequacies and failures? It's a perfect time to understand something important: that was then and this is now. Perfect time to understand and love those moments where we couldn't do it any differently. We can do things differently now. The moon in Leo gives us a big blast of sunshine even if it is a dreary, rainy day. Inside that sunshine is a whole new vocabulary about myself and a whole new sets of feelings about my life. It's a perfect time to remember that we did our best. Hindsight is always better than foresight. It's a perfect time to decide to change our beliefs and behaviors in any way that will help us create a happier self for the days ahead.</p><p><br /></p>Linda Spraguehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13026545632724594385noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1121356753596502574.post-78464038964517283382024-01-20T23:44:00.004-06:002024-01-22T21:15:14.773-06:00<p> Astro Tips and more</p><p>January 20, 2024</p><p>Linda Sprague</p><p>Pluto in Capricorn conjunct Sun in Capricorn</p><p>Pluto in Aquarius conjunct Sun in Aquarius</p><p>Today, January 20th, the Sun is in the last degree of Capricorn. Tomorrow, when the Sun moves into the sign of Aquarius, dwarf planet Pluto also will move into Aquarius. Interesting two days. Pluto brings intensity to whatever it touches. When it touches the Sun, we may experience increased empowerment. Our soul/sun responds to Pluto with an internal sense of strength. After all we have just experienced fourteen years of Pluto tearing down and undermining all things Capricorn--our physical, orderly, dependable, reliable, life structures. Where did they go? We have survived. That in itself is reason for feeling empowered. What exactly did we endure and what is on the other side of this endurance? We had these fourteen years of certain kinds of Saturnian lessons (Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn; therefore, our lessons have been in Saturn's cave). That's where we go to learn patience when things don't go our way. How many of you have watched your daily Capricorn schedule go to hell in a hand-bag during these Pluto in Capricorn years? How many of you have had to re-do your thinking around what is practical and what isn't? How many of you have had ups and downs financially? Who among us hasn't had test after test in the room called, Patience. The result of all this is hopefully a new sense of maturity and mastery in some area of life. This all goes back to 2008 when Pluto rolled into the sign of Capricorn. We have watched our own lives be upended for a variety of reasons. And we have witnessed our government wobble, our financial system experiment with the future (crypto what?), our financial system and overall social system favoring greed; our justice system compromised and our social order go crazy. The fact is when we are going through something, we tend to hang on and do our best to adjust to the prevailing trends and to the upheavals we must endure. When rents and mortgages go up, we figure it out. </p><p>My experience with important transits is this: We keep on keeping on while it is happening and then, suddenly, it's over and we begin to experience the results of what just happened. For those willing to open their eyes and connect the dots, you will see where you've been and how things have changed. We tend to experience the real change on the other side of the transit. We are in a new, mature landscape and there is plenty to be done.</p><p>I asked a client if I could talk about her chart just to sum up this idea that Pluto in Capricorn in one sense is over AND in another sense, we will now get the result of Pluto in Capricorn. Pluto in Aquarius will be a part of that process. </p><p>So I will call this person, Candice. She was born with Venus in late Sagittarius followed by three planets in Capricorn (that includes her Sun in Capricorn), and then a Capricorn ascendant, and finally Saturn in the late degrees of Capricorn. This human being has been through major Pluto experiences since 2006. That is 18 years of one planet affecting five planets and her ascendant. She survived. She is on the other side. She had to stay very sober and real. She was not allowed to indulge in escapists acts through drugs, alcohol or make-believe. She came close to losing her vision. She came close to losing her career. Don't even mention relationship. Wherever Pluto sits, we tend to sit alone. A Pluto transit over one planet is about five years. Think about eighteen years of sitting alone. Someone asked her how she managed to hang on all those years. She said, "I danced." She also wrote a novel and some other works that are now ready to be presented to the world. She took up gardening and found joy in the dirt and colors that emerged from the dirt. Earthy Capricorn is a responsible work horse (or work goat!). The highest vibration of Capricorn is a leader who does the job because it needs to be done, maybe for a school, for an important institution like our government, or for the world and most importantly for the self. Candice chose the mountain goat path and is ready for her Capricorn work to roll into an Aquarius culture.</p><p>I share the story of Candice to remind us that a transit brings its rewards and it doesn't end. Previous transits of Pluto (through the signs of Scorpio and Sagittarius) are still with us. This is an ongoing job. We keep expanding in our transformation; we keep deepening in our understanding of the humane experience; we keep finding more and more passion to create a new age. We are now stepping into Pluto in Aquarius, complicated and full of potential enlightenment.</p><p><u><b>Pluto in Aquarius (2024-2044)</b></u></p><p>One of my favorite astrology books is <b>Mythic Astrology</b> by Ariel Guttman and Kenneth Johnson (Llewellyn Publications1998). This book will not give you twelve steps for reading a horoscope. It will teach you the underlying stories that belong to astrology. Here is what they say in their introduction to the sign of Aquarius: "To the ancient Egyptians, then, Aquarius represented the vital spiritual power which renews and fertilizes all things." (page 345) If you do not want to read any further, this can be your take away for Pluto in Aquarius....vital spiritual power comes to renew and fertilize all things. </p><p>The constellation Aquarius shows us a picture of a water bearer, a heavenly being pouring heavenly waters down upon us. This never was literal water. It was energy. But human beings have called it The Holy Grail, and The Water of Life. When the planet Uranus was discovered it was sitting in the sign of Aquarius. That was 1781 and The Age of Enlightenment that unfurled gave new meaning to the energy of Aquarius. Now Aquarius had a planet and the ancient meaning of the Water Bearer took on new meaning. The American and French Revolutions happened in the late 1700's. Benjamin Franklin had already experimented with the phenomenon of electricity. The institution of monarchy was challenged and brought about new social orders. Inventions brought ease of movement and communication and those inventions have not ceased. At the same time, interest in spirituality beyond/without religion took hold and has not let go. Words for Aquarius: technology and inventions, space travel, astrology, revolution for the betterment of humanity (fairness/equality/freedom), and enlightenment. On a spiritual level I believe Aquarius teaches us that we are each unique but we are contained in a Unity or Oneness that we are yet to fully comprehend. Most astrologers have mentioned that during their Pluto in Aquarius cycle, people will strive to express their uniqueness. That could be in the arts or technology or in political activism. It could also be in spiritual revelation or teaching. Remember, Aquarius is an air sign. Here are few areas to watch: electricity and the high tech modalities, super high scientific thinking like Quantum Theory, communication in earth realm, communication in and with other dimensions, belief systems, revolution for the advancement of humanity. </p><p><u><b>Pluto in Aquarius. The good, the bad, the beautiful.</b></u></p><p>Let's start with the beautiful! Surely we will have continued spiritual ascension and enlightenment with Pluto in Aquarius. Most religious systems are based on fear and control. Aquarius longs for freedom, so religious institutions that resist individual rights will have to change. Teacher/Intuitive Matt Kahn has stated on Youtube that all our spiritual work is now in place and we can live it now and connect on a Unity Time Line. He suggests that whatever unfolds in our 3-D world has its own life that must be lived out. Or it will just faze out because the majority of souls will be connecting on a different time line, speeding up the evolution of humanity. However, that doesn't mean we shouldn't particulate in the 3-D show. We might need to vote to help that fade out and speed up process. Is this the Age of Aquarius? I guess we are in it, right? It's a long process though. </p><p>The good news. Those of you who were born under the sign of Aquarius, have the Moon in Aquarius, have a rising sign in Aquarius, you have a big life ahead of you. Whether it is in technology or it is in the higher planes where you tune in to different galactic stations, you will be busy. Because Aquarius is a fixed sign, you may not want to change. You may resist some of the information flooding your psyche. Pluto will ask you to change if you need to. If you need a different career, it will happen. If you need to be totally free to follow your soul path, you might leave your home town and any ancient dysfunction that holds you back. </p><p>Fixed signs in general (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio) will have challenges if they cling to the past. It's time for an upgrade in your hard drive. Get rid of old beliefs that hold you back and down. Tune in to intuition and trust it; find your faith. Believe in yourself.</p><p>Air signs (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius) will be able to smile and get with the Pluto/Aquarius program. you are in your element! Mental activity, communication, technology, avant garde creativity, uniqueness, it's yours.</p><p>Of course these are generalizations. To know how this Pluto in Aquarius affects you, please get a reading of your horoscope.</p><p>The bad news. What is truth? Even the sky has a range of color depending on the season. When we are looking at the sky, we should be able to agree when it is blue, when it is red, when it is dark, when it has clouds. Right now we are living in a landscape that manipulates the color of the sky, or uses propaganda to convince you the sky is sunset red when it is actually a balmy blue day up there. This is the bad news. We are leaving the ground of Capricorn for the sky and air of Uranus. Uranus is named after the Greek deity Ouranos, priordial creator. Ouranus lacked groundedness. He didn't hang around the earth place. He was off in the sky with his ego and his ideas and his dreams of perfection. He was good with chaos and anarchy as long as he was in charge. He was the top guy. This is the bad news because we live here on Gaia, Earth Mama. We have to find ways to be inspired and live that inspiration here on earth. Of course Aquarius will also promote gender equality and color equality. Bosses and dictators cannot solve that part. Pluto pulls back the curtain and shows what has been hidden in the dark or in the ground (includes what is dead and buried). It's up to the collective body to understand what needs to change. Pluto in Aquarius will eventually bring down the charlatans, the frauds. There will be a fight though. It's not going to be easy to bring down those who want us to agree to something that simply isn't true. I guess what I'm saying is the patriarchy is under scrutiny. It could be confusing. There could twenty years of struggle and then when Pluto gets tired of Aquarius and steps into Pisces, we will finally see some progress. Greed and Control are obstacles. The combination of greed, control, power and AI is not pretty to think about. However, maybe it won't take that long for vital spiritual power to rock our world, because we are dealing with a different form of energy now. We are beginning to tap in to a bigger field of manifestation. Manifestation from love may be bigger and faster than manifestation from greed and control. As Caroline Myss has said many times . . . "when the love of power becomes the power of love."</p><p>Pluto in Capricorn has thrown the punches at our lies, our messed up social systems and our political system that is off the track. Democracy is for the people, for everyone. The shadow of Pluto in Capricorn (the shadow of the patriarchy) overturned Roe v Wade and took away fundamental rights that belong to women. Pluto in Aquarius will help restore those rights. Meanwhile with all this Air stirred up and everybody talking, it's good to take time out and get pagan about the Earth. Keep feet on ground and thank the earth for having us here. We are everything and we are nothing. All it takes is one earthquake to bring us to that humble place. </p><p>The Water Bearer has morphed from water of life, magic mushrooms and cacao, to the big Quantum Energy: the particle, the wave, the Field. It has morphed to the awareness of Light and Sound and Movement and Love. It includes the appreciation of the body and somatic awareness. It has morphed to the place where we are co-creators with all that is unfolding. Caroline Myss said this in her recent announcement about her new workshop on our sacred contract with creation: ". . . the most valuable resources we have as human beings are those we cannot see: Creativity, love, trust, faith, compassion, imagination, endurance, determination, vision, courage." Aquarius, the air sign. Pluto, the revealer of the hidden and the dark; the transformer into light. Pluto in Aquarius has a lot to teach us in the years ahead. Thanks for reading my Astro Tips. Comments and emails are always appreciated. Love and LIght as we enter this new era of transformation.

The phoenix gives out a piercing call--the call for a new era, a great age."</b></i></p><p><br /></p><p>After nearly 15 years in the sign of Capricorn, dwarf planet Pluto has reached the critical 29th degree of that sign and will make entry into Aquarius on January 20th. Pluto spent a brief spell in Aquarius in 2023 and in 2024 Pluto will retrograde back into Capricorn for a brief time. After that we will have Pluto in Aquarius for a total of 20 years (through March 8, 2043).</p><p>Pluto is continually providing us with breakdowns and breakthroughs. We have witnessed ongoing breakdowns in the shadow areas that Capricorn represents: the over-riding, over-bearing, self-serving patriarchy; government stagnation; society's structures and legal systems; and the unrelenting rise of plutocracy. The breakdowns in our society have revealed the outrageous exaggeration of the distribution of resources and wealth, something we might call greed. All of the planets have their archetypal meanings. One of the shadow sides of Pluto is obsession and sometimes that obsession is greed. We are living in very material times. So on the one hand Pluto has shown us that our systems are inadequate and need to be analyzed and changed. What we have yet to fully grasp is how our greed has contributed to our problems. Simple things like why do we, living in the United States of America, pay more for our medicines than people do in Canada, Mexico and other western countries? We have yet to see the breakdown of greed--pharmaceutical greed, CEO/corporate greed, and political greed to mention a few. On the other hand, Pluto in Capricorn has taught us about our own value and our own power. Pluto in Capricorn has urged us to grow up and be responsible for ourselves. Pluto teaches us humility as well, because there are things in life that require that we say, I am powerless over that. In what ways can we be powerful and impactful without joining the toxic, power-dominance of the greater collective? It's instructive to remember that planet Pluto was in the sign of Capricorn when the United States was born in 1776. We have experienced our Pluto return in Capricorn in our country. We have been in a repeat cycle that helps us understand our beginnings. </p><p>Perhaps Pluto's long visit to Aquarius will help us address the issue of greed, as well as other issues around equality and justice. Aquarius is also associated with technology. We are on a journey to a new era for technology (think AI) as well as for humanity. The planet Uranus rules Aquarius so we can expect more upheavals and surprises as we find our way to a bigger consciousness that includes fairness, equality and justice, as well as a consciousness that teaches us that we are not just earthly citizens. We are citizens of our solar system, galaxy and universe. Right now we are stuck in a very old belief system where we are citizens of a family, tribe, village, city, state, nation. We cling to the belief, the myth, that one tribe is better than another, one nation superior than all others. We are so much more than any of those systems, and everyone is included in the bigger oneness that holds all of us. Those who want to return to a dominance based systems are in for a surprise. No one can stop the unfolding of consciousness. It doesn't matter how many books are banned, consciousness will expand. No matter what we see in the media, people are beginning to live from the place of love and acceptance of individuality. Quantum theory--particle, wave, field--demonstrates the interconnectedness of everything as well as the power of belief to broaden our understanding of life itself.</p><p>Miracles can happen, I guess. We could make some big shift if the big white light sphere engulfs our planet and fills the air we breathe to the extent that we awaken to something beyond this material plane. Or it will take a little longer. The phoenix is rising and calling for a new age. But do any of us really know when that might unfold? Life is a process not a destination. And astrology is about planetary cycles that repeat in different ways. We want to believe there is a moment in time where everything sparkles and everyone gets it at the same time. We want the Age of Aquarius to be a loud beautiful show with a big attendance and enormous applause. Meanwhile we might have someone in the White House who is on trial for a variety of misdeeds. How can that even be a possibility? Because there are people who don't think or believe the candidate committed any misdeeds. We are in murky waters. Where is the truth? How do we respect and live with diversity of truth? Is one truth allowed to dominate all the other truths? That's a rabbit hole that takes everyone far far and away from the heart chakra. </p><p>There is more to say about 2024. There are other planetary cycles to discuss: Uranus, Neptune, Eris (another dwarf planet of profound importance), Saturn and Jupiter. For now I will pause and try to return to my heart center. It's not just the future existence of humanity that is on the line. Many sentient beings are depending on us to make this a better place. And not just the ones that fly and crawl and swim. Even the waters and mountains are more awake than we are, and yet they are subjected to our behaviors. We have grave responsibilities. The big picture is both scary and also beautiful. I have got to believe that every goodness we do for others, for ourselves and for all sentient life, really, really matters. The energy of those deeds unites with all the the other energies. That big energy expands and magically nurtures the womb of the new era, an era of homo-spiritus and homo-galacticus. We may not get there in our lifetime, but that doesn't mean we aren't giving birth to it right now. </p><p><br /></p>Linda Spraguehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13026545632724594385noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1121356753596502574.post-75747147440877065892020-08-03T23:06:00.000-05:002020-08-03T23:06:02.187-05:00Astro Tips: Full Moon in Aquarius August 3, 2020<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "times new roman"; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-family: calibri;"><font size="5">Astro Tips<o:p></o:p></font></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "times new roman"; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-family: calibri;"><font size="5">Linda Sprague<o:p></o:p></font></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "times new roman"; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-family: calibri;"><font size="5">Full Moon in Aquarius<o:p></o:p></font></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "times new roman"; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-family: calibri;"><font size="5">August 3, 2020<o:p></o:p></font></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "times new roman"; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-family: calibri;"><font size="5"> </font></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "times new roman"; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-family: calibri;"><font size="5"> </font></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "times new roman"; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-family: calibri;"><font size="5">The full moon in Aquarius highlights the polarity of the signs Leo and Aquarius.

A T-cross is an irritation and a challenge. This formation often leads to something productive. In natal horoscopes the presence of a T-cross means that the individual does not give up and often meets with success. The current full moon period with Uranus shouts out loud and clear that humanity is not giving up. We are on the road to freedom for humanity, not freedom for 2%. Uranus rules the sign of Aquarius. If we are headed for the Age of Aquarius, these past few months are helping us get there.<o:p></o:p></font></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "times new roman"; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-family: calibri;"><font size="5"> </font></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "times new roman"; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><u><span style="font-family: calibri;"><font size="5">What the full moon means for you<o:p></o:p></font></span></u></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "times new roman"; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-family: calibri;"><font size="5"> </font></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "times new roman"; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-family: calibri;"><font size="5">On the personal level, this full moon with Uranus sitting in between the Sun and Moon encourages freedom. If a relationship is suffocating, Uranus will cause a potential break. On the other hand, some relationship might find new areas of awakening, fun and even meaning. Uranus tends to shake things up abruptly. Someone lands a job out of the blue. Someone moves to the other side of the country for career or opportunity. A relationship forms from one unexpected meeting. Someone else suddenly loses a position due to a company closing (so much of this with the pandemic). So many structures are collapsing during this time. Uranus brings things suddenly and often the event is life changing. Individuals affected by COVID have had their lives altered forever. People who chose this year to leave their homes in Central American and migrate to the US have suffered from unexpected inhumane treatment. We are all affected by these disruptions. The planet is suffering from disruption. If you are safe and well fed, you are indeed blessed at this time.<o:p></o:p></font></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "times new roman"; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-family: calibri;"><font size="5"> </font></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "times new roman"; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><u><span style="font-family: calibri;"><font size="5">Some information about Aquarius<o:p></o:p></font></span></u></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "times new roman"; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-family: calibri;"><font size="5"> </font></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "times new roman"; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-family: calibri;"><font size="5">After so many years interpreting horoscopes, I have come to think of Aquarians as having one foot in the past and one foot in the future. We need to remember where we have come from in order to envision where we are going. The original ruler of Aquarius was Saturn, the planet that gives us structure, stability and tradition. Saturn also rules Capricorn. When Sir William Herschel found a planet beyond Saturn using a telescope in 1781, the planet was eventually named Uranus by an astronomer. The name Uranus is the name of Saturn’s father in mythology. Uranus (or Ouranos in Greek) was the primordial deity that helped seed Earth. Uranus ruled the heavens, came to visit Gaia, impregnated her, and flew back into the heavens without a care for her wellbeing. He was independent and sought his freedom in the sky. He demanded perfect children from Gaia and killed the ones he didn’t approve of. He was a dictator type, not yet evolved in his psychology and emotional body! Eventually Gaia gave birth to Saturn (Chronos in Greek) and when Saturn grew up, he ousted his father, married his mother Gaia, and became the ruler of planet Earth. Saturn brought time, dependability, structure and process to earth. Saturn overcame the chaos of Uranus to give us human society.<o:p></o:p></font></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "times new roman"; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-family: calibri;"><font size="5"> </font></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "times new roman"; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><u><span style="font-family: calibri;"><font size="5">Why Aquarius and Uranus are associated with Revolution<o:p></o:p></font></span></u></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "times new roman"; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-family: calibri;"><font size="5">Just note that the American Revolution (1775-1783) was fought for our independence around the time of the discovery of Uranus. The American Revolution was followed by the French Revolution (1789-11799), which gave proclamations of Liberty, Equality and Fraternity. The ideas for independence, liberty, equality for all has never stopped. We have been in a state of human revolution every since (at least in the western world).<o:p></o:p></font></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "times new roman"; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-family: calibri;"><font size="5"> </font></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "times new roman"; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-family: calibri;"><font size="5">Since the beginning of January 2020, when the planet Uranus entered its forward motion stage, we have had nothing but intense challenge and change. A lot of this is due to the coming together of Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn, but Uranus has had a hand in the unfolding of the changes Pluto and Saturn are bringing. Uranus points to something new so we had a new virus. We have ideas galore (some dangerous, some iffy) trying to treat the virus and prevent the virus. Meanwhile we have had new freedom for many who had to work at home. The old paradigm of going somewhere to work is shifting rapidly. Perhaps going to a schoolhouse is a shifting paradigm as well or maybe the system just gets an overhaul. But we also have a huge percentage of our fraternal citizens who have lost their jobs due to the virus. They need support and financial aid. They don’t need to be criticized or called lazy for a pandemic no one can be blamed for. Then we had the killing, the alleged murder, of George Floyd. This event triggered the airing of all such deaths in recent years. This led to Black Lives Matter, a revisiting of racial inequality, and the Aquarian need to examine law and order and bring more fairness. This is an ongoing revolution.<o:p></o:p></font></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "times new roman"; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-family: calibri;"><font size="5"> </font></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "times new roman"; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><u><span style="font-family: calibri;"><font size="5">Uranus means Awakening!<o:p></o:p></font></span></u></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "times new roman"; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-family: calibri;"><font size="5"> </font></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "times new roman"; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-family: calibri;"><font size="5">The planet Uranus has another big meaning and that is AWAKENING. The awakenings that are occurring during this COVID-19 era and during the protests in the streets era are not going to end. Uranus has been the helper of Pluto, the energy that is destroying old structures and institutions.<o:p></o:p></font></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "times new roman"; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-family: calibri;"><font size="5"> </font></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "times new roman"; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-family: calibri;"><font size="5">The intensity of destruction and upheaval may slow down for a while when Uranus goes into a retrograde period, starting August 15. Since Uranus is sitting and traveling in the sign of Taurus, economy is greatly affected. Taurus is a fixed sign. It doesn’t want things to change so we will have to slow down and reflect on all that has happened since early January. The financial system will definitely slow down as those in leadership try to find a pathway through the pandemic losses. Hopefully they will awaken to new methods for the distribution of resources, like food and health care, to mention two basics.<o:p></o:p></font></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "times new roman"; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-family: calibri;"><font size="5"> </font></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "times new roman"; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><u><span style="font-family: calibri;"><font size="5">Uranus has a shadow<o:p></o:p></font></span></u></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "times new roman"; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-family: calibri;"><font size="5"> </font></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "times new roman"; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-family: calibri;"><font size="5">Just a few remarks about the shadow of Uranus: remember I mentioned that the deity, Uranus, went back out into black space without a thought for Gaia. You might say Uranus was ideological. He wanted something perfect and he had good ideas but he didn’t have patience and he didn’t want to be involved in the actual process. He just wanted his own way. It is too easy to get ideological about change. Ideology is what puts us in the divide. We are falling deeper into the divide: one group resists change and cannot imagine more rights for minorities; one group imagines a kind of equality that is utopian, but ignores the time and process to get there (the now or never approach); another group would like a religious identity that dictates how things will be; and there is a fringe, a small percentage, that might prefer a dictatorship with zero individual rights. A dictator is a kind of Uranian character who thinks he/she is a god who should make all decisions – no voting allowed. In the end, the dictator, like Uranus in the sky, doesn’t care for anyone except his own vision. He can be the evil one with the bomb in a James Bond story.<o:p></o:p></font></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "times new roman"; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-family: calibri;"><font size="5"><br /><u>And, Uranus can be the bearer of heavenly love and energy.<o:p></o:p></u></font></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "times new roman"; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-family: calibri;"><font size="5"> </font></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "times new roman"; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-family: calibri;"><font size="5">The spirit and energy of Aquarius is best applied within the group. Communities come together to think and plan and create; some groups raise their voices for Liberty and Justice for all. Other groups raise their voices for the past, for a flag that didn’t win. We are on the road to the Age of Aquarius. As people unite and gather, they will strive to save the planet, save the children, find more equality, sustainability and quality of life for everyone. As people mingle and share ideas, they will move forward. The solo types will become leaders or they will drop out when they don’t get their way. The future belongs to the patient ones, willing to be tolerant, willing to work hard, willing to cooperate, willing to play fair, and willing to tap in to something bigger than individual ego, and being “right.” Aquarian energy supports all of humanity. It embraces something from the divine and tries to bring it into manifestation.<o:p></o:p></font></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "times new roman"; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-family: calibri;"><font size="5"> </font></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "times new roman"; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-family: calibri;"><font size="5">In closing, we have a full moon in Aquarius that highlights the importance of Leo joining with Aquarius in order to bring heart-centered life to our human society.

New Moon 28 degrees of Cancer<br />
Moon opposes Saturn, Pluto and Jupiter<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt;">The New Moon yesterday, July 20, occurred at 28 degrees of Cancer. The Sun and Moon were opposing Saturn, Pluto and Jupiter.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt;">This New Moon feels like a huge collective event.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt;">Perhaps it is stirring all of us on a cellular level to wake and realize that we simply are not safe. The sign of Cancer has domain over our feelings and over what we need. We need to feel safe. In addition to the pandemic, we have other pressing issues in our society and on our planet. When mothers (Cancer rules the mother and the home) step into the street to protect peaceful protestors from unknown enforcement agents, we are in trouble. Who are these “law enforcers” wrapped up in disguise?</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt;">Our nation is on shaky ground. People don’t agree on the truth of what is going on. This makes us feel unsafe as well.</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Perhaps this New Moon is an invitation to do even one small thing to be active in this crisis. One letter to Washington. One strong post on social medial. A commitment to support voter’s rights. Saturn and Pluto travelling together will definitely destroy societal structures and institutions that we have relied on. Jupiter riding in the car with Saturn and Pluto makes it a very big show. I believe everyone wants to see this transformation have positive outcome. New institutions and structures should be better than before, not worse. We should not lose the foundation of our nation. We will not be safe if we do.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">When a president silences the Centers for Disease Control, I don’t feel safe. This can only lead to more conspiracy ideas. When a president sends an unknown law enforcement group to a city and they interfere with the city and state, I don’t feel safe. Who are these people with guns? More mystery. More conspiracy thought. When they put someone in an unmarked car and drive away, that’s not safe.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Small communities in Texas and other states are overwhelmed with medical/pandemic crises. The number of people sick and dying is so hard to deal with. They don’t have enough resources. Then there is a whole segment of the population that feels SO UNSAFE and POWERLESS that they insist people are dying from heart attacks, not the virus.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">If leaders cannot utilize scientific and sociological information to envision a better world, I don’t feel safe. If our craziness (and greed) continue we will lose the ground beneath our feet and be lost. We will all sink in the swamp and be gone. Citizens will shut down and become like sheep in order to find some degree of safety.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">When a man dressed like a Fed Ex driver knocks on a judge’s door and opens fire when that door opens, where is anyone’s safety? When a young girl can be snatched up and away for sale in some other country, is anyone safe? If a black man is killed without reason by law enforcement, no one is safe. If people are forced to live on minimum wage and have no health coverage, we along with them, are not safe. It can happen to me too. Will COVID-19 become be a preexisting condition that excuses health insurance companies from covering the fall-out of this disease? That’s not safe!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">As we examine the economic foundation of our country, we have to face the face that a subtle slavery is still in effect. There would be no United States of America if we had not had slavery. Nearly free labor allowed the European settlers to make money, and grow a nation. Now we have minimum wage to help the rich get richer. Ninety eight percent of the country pays money into a treasury and a huge portion of that money goes as social welfare for corporations and the rich. That is not sustainable in the long run. So it’s not safe. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">People have come from all over the world to live here because of opportunity and because it has been safer than where they were. Now we face a crisis. We are sinking and losing our goodness and our safety. Where will anyone go?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">This is what the New Moon in late degree of Cancer means to me. The moon quickly moved on into Leo yesterday. Fire sign Leo can ignite our hearts. Let the lion roar, not only with demands, but with compassion for all sentient beings. Compassion for the 2%, compassion for the law makers who seem to be asleep at the bench, compassion for the people who believe things that aren’t even true. Well there we have it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 16pt;">First of all I want to thank the individuals who are attending the Thursday night group Denae Richards and I have been facilitating for many weeks. We are calling the event, “The Good, The Bad and the Beautiful.” Our goal is to provide a safe and enriching environment to share and process how this time of chaos and crisis is affecting us.

<span style="font-size: 16pt;">The beginnings of what we identify as humanity go back as far as five million years. There are fossils to teach us about our very distant ancestry. Proto-humans were living in caves and making crude tools as far back as 2.5 million years. Between 50,000 and 35,000 years ago, humanity began painting on cave walls. These paintings have many interpretations. For sure they indicate that there were humans living meaningful lives a very long time ago. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 16pt;">The dawn of humanity as society and culture coincided with the onset of the most recent ice age that began approximately 2.5 million years ago, and according to geology, we are still in this ice age. We are in the interglacial period of this cycle. Around 11,000-10,000 years ago, Homo sapiens became the best adapter to the changing climate and Homo sapiens survived the ice period by migrating and adapting to new environments wherever they went.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 16pt;">We could add another paragraph here and discuss the possible or probable visitation of people of a civilization from somewhere out in the Universe that helped direct the journey of Homo sapiens. Whether or not such visitations occurred is not included in this discussion. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 16pt;">Our human journey has been a long, complex, exciting, traumatic, challenging and rich history that somehow brought us to this current time. We had a Neolithic, agricultural period, where life centered on the feminine qualities of birth, life, death and rebirth. Earth based belief systems (systems that adhere to polytheistic leanings) were refined during this period and continue to this day in many indigenous societies, prominently in India (and lightworker communities!). The Neolithic mushroomed into a city-state system based on divine birth, royalty, wealth and stratification of class. We continue in the same system today after a period of at least 5,000 years. How did that happen? We shifted from the feminine to the masculine and we are trying to shift again, but where are we shifting to?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 16pt;">And here we are. 2020. Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in the sign of Capricorn on July 4, Independence Day in America. Saturn is the planetary ruler of Capricorn. Saturn is time and structure and systems that we need to stay grounded on our planet. Capricorn provides history, precedent, containers and protocol that allow for stability, advancement and development. <b>This is the gift of the masculine energy</b>. It has given us pyramids, laws, art, music, science, and monotheistic belief systems. It has also given us a patriarchal social container and social Darwinism. We are at a cross roads where we are attempting to discern what traditions will support future generations and what structures in our government and society need to be overhauled or discarded. Most people are thinking about these matters and lining up on opposite sides of the fence. One side wants to adhere to a colonial tradition based on a white race majority that acquired this continent because God wanted that to happen; and the other side wants to be open to a melting pot that honors all people. This second group wants new systems that provide more material sharing and social justice for all people. That is too simply stated of course, but it is enough for now.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 16pt;">The Sun opposing in the sign of Cancer brings up matters pertaining to family, the tribe, childhood, nurturing, food, the mother. This particular eclipse reveals the shadows of family and society and our role in those containers and systems. Many people are being gifted with family experiences right now that are helping them release and let go of old patterns and hurts</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 16pt;">Without family, the human infant/child cannot survive. We cannot discard family. How do we find ways to ensure loving nurturance and healthy survival? An example is the new prevalence where more men are taking part in child rearing; men are utilizing their hearts as well as their masculine ability to provide stability and practical guidance.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 16pt;">The full moon in Capricorn suggests that we will have more information unveiled-- brought out of the vault, shaken from the shadows. It’s coming. The so-called leaders who think they can say anything and do anything have had their day. We need new leadership that has a vision of new cultural systems for the world to come.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 16pt;">And that brings me to <b>The good, The bad, and The beautiful!</b><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 16pt;">Life is full of goodness, difficulties, and beauty. We are living in such a time. According to Carl Johan Calleman, PhD, we are struggling to release our attachment to living inside a Hologram of Good and Evil. Calleman is one of the important researchers who unraveled the Maya Calendar. There are nine waves of creation in our planetary history. He maintains that the May calendar helps us understand out history. The Hologram of Good and Evil emerged out of one of the waves of creation. Now we are into the 9<sup>th</sup> wave trying to find our way to a Hologram of Unification. This will not happen over night.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 16pt;">According to Calleman’s book, <i>The Nine Waves of Creation,</i> we are sitting on 2.5 billion years of collective history and experience. We hold these billions of years in our DNA. Some say our DNA is shifting in its structure and this will lead to a new earth experience.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 16pt;">For me, the bottom line is this: We are sitting on everything that has ever happened. Everything is in our cellular memory. That is one of the messages of the Maya Calendar that completed a huge cycle in 2011-2012. Consequently, we are inside the chaos of our Hologram of good and evil. We are in the process of moving into a new cycle in our Galaxy and in the Universe. Cycles don’t change in one instance. They unfold. We are unfolding and we are crazy in the process.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 16pt;">We are struggling to create a bridge between the duality we live in. We are taught that life is duality; but actually, life is an essay full of color. Life is not black or white. It is full range of gray tones and colors. Life is not right or wrong. Life is experience full of nuance, learning, love, regret, joy, error and grace. Astrologer Robert Ohotto says the bridge between the Right/Wrong duality is a Rainbow. I like that. Perhaps the way we transmute the Hologram of Good and Evil is by focusing on a colorful bridge linking duality.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 16pt;">Today’s eclipse in Capricorn brings up the duality of prescribed authority versus subjective knowing and feeling (the sign of Cancer). The bridge between the two is life experience and openness to the awareness that we are souls in a Universe and each soul is unique, worthy and loveable. Many are called to lead with new visions for a new cycle (for new waves of creation?). Some are called to hold the boat steady as we move through troubled waters. Some are here to demand we not let go of everything we cherish. Everyone is needed on the bridge.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">

Astro Tips for Summer Solstice<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">Happy Summer Solstice, the longest day of light of the year. </span><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 14pt;">The Sun is just stepping into the sign of Cancer.</span><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Sitting right with the Sun the North Node of the Moon sits at 29 degrees of Gemini and the Moon itself is at 28 degrees of Gemini.</span><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 14pt;">The South Node at 29 Sagittarius sets up a tension between past and future.</span><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Today is another moment in time when we can step through a portal to make a commitment to becoming co-creators with the Universe. Review the teachings and beliefs from your past. Discern what to keep and what to release into the nothingness. Let your heart guide you to teachings that support a new cycle for humanity’s survival and the survival of our home, Earth. This can all end soon, or we can support a new cycle of existence.</span><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 14pt;">The Maya Indians believed a 25,722-year precession of the equinoxes shifted around 2012.</span><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 14pt;">How did they know that?</span><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Knowledge and wisdom have been around a long, long time.</span><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 14pt;">We are in the liminal transition between that 25,000-year cycle and the next 25,000-year cycle. Take that in. We are walking unsteadily into the haze and breathing new energy into our cells. Where are we going? Many teachers say that we are learning to co-create with Creation. It is important to dream big, not for the self, but for all forms of life on Planet Earth. </span><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Robert Green Ingersoll, often called the great agnostic in the 1800’s, said this:</span><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 14pt;">“In nature there are neither rewards nor punishments; there are consequences.”</span><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Together we can put aside our attachments to ideologies. Instead, we can create beautiful consequences.</span></div>

The New Moon in the sign of Gemini joins the Sun today, May 22, at 2 degrees of Gemini. This New Moon squares Mars in Pisces and Mars gives us an energy boost. Friday and Saturday are good days to ponder what our intentions are during the Sun’s passage through the sign of the Twins. Maybe we have more than one intention since Gemini is a sign of multiplicity. Grab on to the gift from Mars--a kick in the brain cells. Gemini is known for changing its mind and for getting sidetracked. Write down your intentions if you can. Maybe they are physical things like take a walk every morning. Or maybe the intentions are internal things, like work on self esteem and confidence.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
Mercury and Venus are also currently sitting in the sign of Gemini. Mercury rules Gemini and Virgo. Venus rules Taurus and Libra. Venus is in its retrograde cycle in Gemini and that cycle began May 13 and continues until June 25. This means the planet Venus has slowed down in its orbit and it appears to move backwards in the heavens. Of course it is not actually moving backwards. It is going slowly in its orbit. This particular Venus retrograde holds the same energy as the Venus in Gemini retrograde cycle in the May/June of 2012. If you can recall what was happening in your life at that time, you will have some rumbling of what needs your attention right now. If that period in time was not significant for you, then perhaps this Venus retrograde period is not going to rattle your cage. However, all of us might expect to reconnect with people from the past or reach out to people who keep popping into our mind. That is the people, relationship part of Venus.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
Venus not only influences our external relationships and belief systems. From the time we were little children the planet Venus gave form to how we thought and felt about ourselves. This is not a cause and effect rule. Venus in Gemini, for example, does not make someone feel a certain way. However, there is a connection or relationship between where Venus is in your horoscope and how you experience yourself. Venus influences how you talk to yourself on the inside as well as the outside. What is your self-talk? What ideas and beliefs do you hold about your essence and your life?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
I mention self-talk because Gemini rules communication. Communication begins inside us. What and how we think is how we express externally. Gemini also rules short trips and everyday travel. Due to the Coronavirus we are limited in how much we are traveling. For some people this is a hardship and it is irritating. The internal talk can turn to blame and conspiracy. Whose fault is it that I have to stay home and cannot do what I want to do?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
Gemini is the third sign of the Zodiac. It is the third house of the horoscope. The third house does pertain to communication and learning. Gemini’s never stop learning. We can think of Gemini as going to grade school and beginning to learn what we need to know in order to navigate our society and the cultural landscapes. This includes fundamentals like the ABC’s and how to play baseball, as well as the belief system of our particular tribe and community. We learn these beliefs from family, friends, teachers and institutions like churches. Grade school is where Gemini energy begins and where we start to adapt to our surroundings. This is where we learn how and what to perceive in the world. We learn what is good and what is bad. We learn what we are interested in and what we are good at. Because we are young, the learning is concrete and goes straight to the unconscious..</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
We grow up and we forget where we learned the beliefs we had to accept when we were young in order to get along in our world. It’s easy to become unconscious about many of our behaviors, preferences and beliefs. When Venus is retrograde in Gemini we have an opportunity to think back to grade school. What did we learn? Do we still believe it? If we were raised to believe that other people are not as good as our tribe, do we still believe that? Were we raised to believe we were inferior to others and do we still believe that? In short, Venus retrograde in Gemini asks us to go a little deeper and get conscious about what we believe and how it affects our behavior, our life and the lives of others.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
Gemini is very black and white. When we were young life needed to be black and white. Otherwise we might stick our hand in the fire. Now we are grown-up. It’s time to look at the nuance of life and do that without judgment. Not easy.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
We are living in a time of open duality. It’s no secret that we are a divided society and our beliefs often exclude understanding others and life nuance. Journalism should be open. It should start with a question and accept many answers and then sort through them. We have lost that ability. Mercury rules the signs of Gemini and Virgo. Gemini is the collector of data and Virgo is the analyzer of that data. We have lost our way. The data is sometimes altered and the analysis is often full of prejudice. As a society we seem to be operating from a grade school mentality that lacks consciousness. We are third grade bullies who didn’t learn how to do the Virgo analysis in high school.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
It is worth mentioning that President Trump is a Gemini (June 14, 1946). Gemini rules journalism but Trump has no ability to accept journalism that does not support his reality. Perhaps all of us have areas that we reject because they do not support our reality. As little Gemini’s we learned how to perceive in order to survive. As grown-up Gemini’s we are asked to review our beliefs about life and to open our doors of perception. “All this universe is in this eye of mine.” Seppo (Zen Calendar May 13, 2020).</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 16pt;">Full Moon in Scorpio<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 16pt;">It’s time to do your deep work. Scrub the kitchen and bathroom, clean out the chest of drawers, look deep inside to examine fears and motivations; and be a detective. Try to uncover some hidden information, try to solve a mystery. What is conspiracy and what isn’t? Is there any way to know for sure? Isn’t there some truth in everything? These are clearly Scorpio topics.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 16pt;">The Full Moon in Scorpio encourages us to get to the bottom of things. We may never know the full truth of Corona virus and this pandemic. I totally believe the personal experiences of patients, nurses and doctors. Everything else I’m not so sure. Is it from an animal? Is it from a lab? All we can do is our own detective work and live with what we figure out. There is consistent information that this virus is most dangerous to people over 65 and to people with serious conditions. AND there is consistent data that the virus occurs mostly where there are a lot of people in close contact: prisons, nursing homes, and factories, cruise ships, etc. When we wear a mask we are helping to protect others. This is like being in kindergarten and learning that the other kids are as important as I am. The virus is a lesson about learning we are all one.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 16pt;">The full moon today is occurring on the tail end of the Saturn/Pluto conjunction in Capricorn. Saturn is the established agenda. Pluto is the intense means that might be used to maintain the established way of life. Pluto is also the energy that destroys the old useless parts of something. The process is complex, slow and mysterious.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 16pt;">Jupiter is close to Pluto and that makes the misuse of power potentially exaggerated (because Jupiter makes things big—like gaining weight). The ultimate meaning of Pluto is this: not my will, but THY will be done. When we are little, the world revolves around us. We throw a tantrum if we don’t get our way. That is a natural expression of immature Pluto in action. Most of us grow out of that phase (at least for the most part). Sometimes the Pluto energy turns from tantrum to manipulation. Most pathetically, some of us never outgrow the need to physically express the raging inner Pluto child-- it’s all about me! Right now we witness groups of people demanding their so called god given rights to carry around semi automatic guns to intimidate others about wearing a mask or opening doors for business. It’s hard to understand why it’s difficult for people to grasp that this pandemic is about everybody. It’s about the inhabitants of our planet. It’s not just one place or one nation. This is not a time to be selfish.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 16pt;">And on that note we see an outpouring of goodness during this difficult time. Jupiter makes things bigger and that includes compassion and good deeds. Food, money, caring for those in need, nurses and doctors working under extreme stress wtih long hours, truck drivers still driving to deliver goods, people working in necessary jobs that keep us feed, keep our medicines on schedule, give us the supplies we need to keep on living-----so many good deeds in spite of the opposite manifestation of fear, greed and selfishness.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 16pt;">As we move through this Scorpio full moon period, it’s good to remember that Scorpio is one of the big gates into the other realms. This here reality is not the only dimension! We are not confined to our homes. There are many other realms to visit during this quarantine. Meditation, visualization and ceremony can free us from the worry of these times. Whatever big or small thing you can be grateful for, be grateful. And stay safe.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 16pt;">Today is the 50<sup>th</sup> anniversary of Earth Day. Thank you Mother Earth. Today is also the day of the New Moon in Taurus, the-most-earthy of the earth signs! New Moons are connected with new beginnings, planting seeds, setting goals. Some people will be planting crops and flowers. Others will be setting tangible goals related to values and finances.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 16pt;">The Sun and New Moon in Taurus are lining up with the planet Uranus, currently transiting the sign of Taurus for seven years. All planets have a variety of meanings. Uranus is associated with shocking change (like the Rune of Disruption: due to bad weather, a tree may fall on your house). There is another meaning for Uranus that is very fitting for Earth Day and for this time of ordained quietness. We associate planet Uranus with awakening. Awakening leads to revolutions. Uranus was discovered in 1781. It was the first planet identified with the use of a telescope, thus symbolizing a new age of enlightenment and technology. Both the American Revolution and the French Revolution awakened humanity to a new way of life. Our Republic grew from the revolution against Great Britain.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 16pt;">I am going out on one of the tree limbs in the forest outside my window here in the Ouachita wilderness to say this: The Earth is re-awakening and we are reconnecting to the Earth. The NBC evening news paid homage to Earth Day with scenes from all over the planet showing the positive effects of humans staying home, for example no smog in LA and diminished pollution in New Delhi, India. Then there was a rainbow in the sky and the song, Over the Rainbow. Earth is looking good. It’s feeling good. Can we keep it that way? Maybe we don’t have to get in a car and go to work every single day. Some astrologers say that Uranus brings events that are irreversible. Once the tree falls on your house, you must get a different roof. Now that we have been silenced by a pandemic, can we find a new road to walk down? It should be a road that includes our awareness of the interconnectedness of humans and planet earth and all sentient beings. It might even include our awakening to our connection with the entire Universe!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 16pt;">Michael Moore has been on several talk shows this week to announce his new documentary, “Planet of the Humans.” This documentary about humans and the environment makes its debut during this New Moon in Taurus.

<span style="font-size: 16pt;">The planets do not make things happen. They are a part of everything else. There is truth in the esoteric phrase, As above so below. We are connected to Earth, our solar system, the Milky Way and the Universe. And the entire Cosmos is connected to us. It’s an ongoing relationship with cycles, evolution, destruction, rebirth and on and on. We sit with our family, we hold a crystal, we ask what it means to be a Taurus, a Gemini or any sign. We learn from these connections and we find meaning in the cosmic relationships.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 16pt;">All of these current events are connected: NBC honors Earth Day with uplifting visuals that touch us with humility and gratitude; “Planet of the Humans” offers insight on the environment and the need to find new ways for sustainability; there is a rainbow in the sky on Earth Day; an organization reaches out to ask us to sing to trees for a month; nature offers solace during a time of fear and uncertainty; the Sun and Moon meet up with planet Uranus and insist we reflect on our connection to magnificent planet; our hearts open as we receive love from Mother Earth and we give love back to her.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

This is a cluster of events that brings hope, clarity and determination. Taurus is a fixed earth sign. We can commit to a different path. Tuning into the natural world and allowing its inhabitants to speak to us and inspire us, is part of our Earth Day awakening. Allowing the energy of the Sun, Moon and Uranus to guide us through the transformation we need at this time is a gift from the heavens. Let this energy flow beyond one day. Let is become our new life style.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 18pt;">Full Moon is 20 degrees of Leo, with Sun in Aquarius (20 degrees)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 18pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 18pt;">The Full Moon today, February 9, 2020, is in the sign of Leo. Leo encourages us to individuate and to enjoy being the center of attention. Leo’s opposite sign, Aquarius, requires that we unite with our peers and cooperate for the good of all. This is the polarity of Leo and Aquarius. </span><span style="font-size: 18pt;">For most of us mortals, we live in a balance of self and others.</span><span style="font-size: 18pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 18pt;">We enjoy being the centerpiece and we enjoy being in communion with others.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 18pt;">Today the full moon makes an aspect to Neptune that indicates we are all somewhat emotionally sensitive. Some people will go overboard with sensitivity and even experience some paranoia or victim type feelings. The lesson is about balance. We don’t have to reject our feelings, but rather have some perspective. Perhaps a talk with a good friend will help sort things out.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 18pt;">Donald Trump has a Leo ascendant with planet Mars in Leo sitting on that spot (this is in his natal horoscope). The full moon is only a few degrees away from his Mars and ascendant. The full moon in Leo sitting on his Mars in Leo can cause agitation, sensitivity and anger. Furthermore today Mars is in the sign of Sagittarius (25 degrees) opposing Trump’s Sun in Gemini. This aspect has been happening this past week. It encourages anger and retaliation. It suggests that he is convinced that he is right to be at odds with his foes. The full moon today amplifies his emotional sensitivity to the events of the past few weeks. Perhaps he is feeling victimized. For sure with the Moon quincunx Neptune and affecting his Mars, there is lack of clarity. His behavior in the past few years has not shown us a person who seeks emotional balance. This full moon suggests that President Trump will continue his retaliations in the days ahead.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 18pt;">I guess that means the rest of us must strive for clarity and balance to make up for the lack of it on the collective level. The president does hold the kettle of negativity and hot water that is brewing everywhere we turn. He is the big archetype for the narcissism that is epidemic in our society. Healing begins with each individual. Today, I strive to balance my burning Leo need to be the center of attention with my heart felt Aquarian yearning to be of service to humanity. How’s that for a little full moon mantra?<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Saturn and Pluto have been together in the sign of
Capricorn for two years, since 2018. During the past week the planets have been
lining up to form what is called a conjunction. They are sharing the same
degree (22 degrees) in the sign of Capricorn.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Today, January 12, the two planets are forming the exact
conjunction. Mercury is sitting with them. The impact of the conjunction is
indicated by what has been going on during the last year and especially during
the past week. However, hindsight is always better than foresight. We won’t
know the full impact for some time.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">The union of Saturn and Pluto occurs every thirty years. If
you want to reflect on how the interaction of Saturn and Pluto affects our
planets, here are some dates to research:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Saturn and Pluto united in the sign of Aries in 1851; in the sign of
Taurus in 1883; in the sign of Cancer in 1915; in the sign of Leo 1951; in the
sign of Libra 1982. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Now we have Saturn and Pluto together in Capricorn.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This same conjunction occurred in 1518!
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Religious Reformation in
Europe lead by Martin Luther was underway.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The first printing of the Bible, called the Gutenberg Bible,
happened in 1454.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This printed version
of the holy text allowed dissemination of Judeo-Christian history into the
populace. This in turn led to the questioning of religious authority.
Individuals began to realize they could pray directly to God. They did not need
a priest to mediate between them and the higher power. Martin Luther stuck his
neck out and said the Catholic Church was in error to charge people for
forgiveness. The custom was to pay for indulgences that helped with your
forgiveness. Martin Luther called attention to the misuse of power and wealth
in the church. The Roman Catholic Church did everything possible to maintain
its power. Many people sacrificed their lives to bring this Reformation into
the world. This is an example of how we look at planetary cycles—in this case, the
union of Saturn (planet of structure and the status quo) and Pluto (ruler of
secrets and abuse of power) that produces transformation and evolution. These
ideas are based on the meanings assigned to deities in Greek mythology.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Here are three areas that show relationships between this
planetary cycle and Earth activities.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Astrology does not say that the planets are causing something to
happen.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Astrology does say that
there is a relationship between planetary activities and life on Earth. As
above, so below.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Earthquakes, Fries, Tornadoes, Hurricanes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Saturn is earthy and heavy. Pluto is
the underworld. It seems that the intensity of earth events is greater than we
have seen in a long time. The fires in Australia are horrifying. Scientists are
saying that human behavior is a primary contributor to these horrific events.
Puerto Rico experienced how many earthquakes in a few days? And not long ago
Puerto Rico had its devastating hurricane.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These earth catastrophes are deepening (a Plutonian
attribute) our awareness of our connection to the earth and to each other. They
are also deepening our love and appreciation for animals and all the floral
being taken out.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The long term
effect of the Saturn/Pluto upheaval experienced as earth changes is hopefully
one of elevated consciousness to make changes in our life styles and to
overcome our hubris of being the most important thing here on planet earth.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

by those in leadership. Huge entities are Plutonian.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Corporations are both Saturnian and Plutonian.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Same goes for governments. There are
solid structures that help society and there are hidden agendas. Remember,
Pluto is Hades! Pluto also rules wealth. How much more abuse of wealth can we
tolerate?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>On the one hand, Pluto
wants to destroy the misuse of energy, wealth and power. On the other hand,
those who HAVE the wealth and power want to destroy anything that stands in the
way of their holding onto what they have. This is a serious struggle.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Our comprehension of the Saturnian
reality of what is going on is greater now. Plutonian secrets are being pulled
up from the underworld.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The recent
activity in the Middle East is full of historical secrets and manipulations. Do
we really have to get involved in a war to show off?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Those who talk about the end of times and the rapture are
giving in to leaders full of hubris. They stand in the way of clarity and
potential movements towards peace.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

under dictatorships or under the gun of violent crime organizations, this is a
time of despair.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Pluto is winning
in those locations. People want to get somewhere that assures safety.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The United States and other countries
are halting the hospitality. Where do people go for a safer life? For those of
us lucky enough to live in relative freedom, our job is to wake up and smell
the misuse of power and to do whatever small thing we can do to put a stop to
it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Our job is to grow up and to
be responsible in our own lives. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We
need the structure, organization and reality that Saturn provides. However, we
are challenged to let go of turning over our power to leaders, organizations, churches,
or cults that give lip service to the needs of humanity. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Leaders need to be held accountable to
their behavior and lies. The old paradigm that the good father, or patriarchal
system, will take care of us is over. Humanity is searching for another
paradigm to live by.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We are trying
to figure out how the distribution of wealth can be different so that people
are not suffering so much. There is no need to call it communism or socialism.
It doesn’t have a name yet! We are on our way to a different way of living. We
are trying to evolve to a consciousness that shows respect for our planet, for
all sentient beings and all of life. Is it possible?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This current Saturn/Pluto cycle in Capricorn is shaking our
earth cage.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Can we move beyond our
arrogance and co-habit this earth space?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Can we grow up and be responsible for this beautiful earth? Can we learn
discernment?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Can we learn to
share? Capricorn is an earth sign.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>This planetary period demands that we pay humble attention to our
behavior on Planet Earth.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

is in Capricorn. Pluto is in Capricorn. </span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14pt;">If you were born under the sign of Capricorn, you probably
know that this energy is earthy and serious. It gravitates to rocks and dark
earthy colors.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14pt;">Capricorn wears a
dark suit, is careful and ambitious. Capricorn often gets the promotion and proceeds
to get the job done nicely.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14pt;">Capricorn
says, be methodical and preserve. Be like the mountain goat and stand in one
place until it is time to climb up a little higher. Of course Capricorn does
rule government, corporations, organizations, protocol, rules and regulations,
and the Father principle. Planet Saturn rules Capricorn and, again, Saturn is
currently transiting Capricorn. This should be good. Saturn is comfortable in
the sign it rules. Saturn promotes being realistic and practical.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14pt;">We must be realistic about how we are
managing our lives here in the earth plane. But Pluto is also with Saturn. Not
easy. </span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14pt;">Saturn is struggling to hold
on to its traditional ways of doing things. Saturn relies on precedence to get
the job done. Pluto is the destroyer! Pluto is putting our Saturnian ways through
a meat grinder. Our legal system seems to crumble under the Joker’s smile. Even
our Constitution is ignored while Pluto throws our cherished beliefs into the
mud. Out of this drama something new will emerge. Something new will grow from
the mud, from the chaos and destruction.</span></div>

has joined Capricorn on the stage. Jupiter is expansive and optimistic. However,
Capricorn can be like a wet blanket, so Jupiter is not especially jolly in the
sign of Capricorn. Keep in mind that a planet takes on the attributes of the
sign it is visiting. Jupiter spends one year in each astrological sign. What
can we expect with Jupiter in Capricorn?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Perhaps Jupiter has come along just in time to ensure the preservation
of law and order. Jupiter rules THE LAW.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Jupiter belongs to the ninth house of the horoscope.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This house has domain over the higher
mind and the beliefs that we live by. If we want to continue believing that
greed is the new T-shirt, I guess we can. But Jupiter in Capricorn would frown
on that. Jupiter amplifies whatever it touches. If it touches Capricorn it will
make Capricorn issues bigger. Issues like being pragmatic, following the rules
that work here on planet earth—cause and effect. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Capricorn is the sign that tells us to be responsible and do
the right thing.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

January 7, Saturn and Pluto will line up together at 22 degrees of Capricorn.
This is called a conjunction.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Everything that has been happening for the past couple of years is in
the spotlight. Hopefully the Pluto-Saturn conjunction will bring some
reasonable agreements on touchy subjects in the very near future. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Shortly after this conjunction—the reality
and tradition of Saturn and the profound transformation of Pluto--we have a
Lunar Eclipse in Cancer (the sign opposite Capricorn).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Here’s hoping there will be some
resolution to many problems that have been facing us. A Full Moon Lunar Eclipse
might uncover information that helps brings solutions to longstanding
situations.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Capricorn is an earth sign. When it comes to climate change, we could be more
realistic about what needs to be done to help Mother Earth. Capricorn is the
responsible parent. We could be more mature in our understanding and
actions.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If we avoid being
grown-ups, we remain unconscious and dependent on some authority figure to tell
us what is right.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We remain more vulnerable
than we should be. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

New Year starts off big with Capricorn. Because earth signs do not move fast,
we cannot expect a lot of rapid action. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We might feel frustrated but we need to remember that
Capricorn is doing its job.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One
step at a time.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

of us has a life story that is unfolding. Each of us has messy Pluto stuff
going on somewhere. All this Capricorn energy requires every ounce of maturity
we have.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Remember, we can think it
faster than we can do it. Walking through the Earth plane is slower than
thinking our way through it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Patience! Use common sense.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Full
Moon 19 degrees of Gemini<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">December
12, 2019<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">A
few days ago I was snooping around the web looking at information about the
astrology of December and the full moon. I clicked on a short video by
astrologist Gregory Scott. He reminded his viewers to avoid getting bombarded
and overwhelmed during this full moon in Gemini. Too Much Information. Gemini
is the sign of curiosity and data gathering. We are certainly bombarded with
information right now. The Sun is in Sagittarius, the sign we associate with
the search for truth.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The only
truth these days is the variety of interpretations that surrounds the data.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>People have different versions of
truth.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Mr.
Scott also suggested that we look at the symbol for Gemini and see it as a
doorway.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Gemini is associated with
the twins, but when you look at the symbol of Gemini (two vertical lines with
horizontal lines crossing at the top and bottom, fact is, it could be a
doorway.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Thanks to times we live
in, we are offered any number of doorways to explore or walk through to gather
information and make our truth.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Prior to Cable TV and its smorgasbord of information, the 6 o’clock news
was the news.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There were a few
doorways to open, but they all had the same information. Now cable news
presenters express opinions or interpretations of news. Truth has become
relative, at least in the political and social arenas.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">The
full moon in Gemini on December 12 does give us another doorway to walk
through. In December, our Sun, the Star of our Solar System, lines up with the
Galactic Center, that is, the center of our Milky Way Galaxy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We can imagine that we are lining up
with the number one energy source from the Milky Way and receive higher truth.
Maybe we won’t receive the truth in language. Maybe it will come as light rays,
sounds vibrations, or feelings of love.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>In northern hemispheres there is a ray of blue light this time of
year.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I believe it is associated
with this energy pouring out of the Galactic Center. It touches us deeply if we
allow it to. The energy is that of love, of course. We have one word for this
huge, expansive energy and that word is love.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Whatever we are feeling--grief or happiness--the bigger energy
is love. That’s the bottom line truth.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Every December we are invited to connect with Big Love, the glue of
life.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Meanwhile,
back on the physical plane of existence………we are stepping through this full
moon doorway into 2020.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The study
of Astrology suggests that 2019 has been the time of planning and preparation
for 2020. Why is 2020 so big?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Well, finally Saturn and Pluto will form their exact conjunction. During
2019 we have been living this energy of chaos and apprehension about the coming
changes in civilization. Now we seek resolution to the tension we have been
holding for a long time. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">On
December 2 the planet, Jupiter, moved from optimistic, mind-expanding
Sagittarius, to Capricorn—practical, earth-bound, problem solving, grown-up
Capricorn. Jupiter prefers the enthusiasm of fire signs to the solid, slow
earthy energy of Capricorn. However, Capricorn is a cardinal or moveable sign. </span><span style="font-size: 16pt;">Jupiter
in Capricorn will help us move along in finding resolutions to the problems we
are facing.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Jupiter
has joined planets Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The south node is also in Capricorn. And during this full
moon in December, Venus is also in Capricorn. That is a lot of earth energy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Earth energy is slow energy, compared
to the transmission of energy through air and fire. We go through earth steps - steps that require physical body energy -<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>to get where we need to be. We are seriously looking at what
we are committed to and what we are leaving behind. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">As
Jupiter travels through the sign of Capricorn until December of 2020, we can
expect to grow and expand in our understanding of how things work in daily
life. Remember, Jupiter tends to make bigger whatever it touches. In Capricorn
it touches reality.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Saturn is the
planetary ruler of Capricorn.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Together Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn give us the message to
grow up.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If there is some area
where we are not behaving like a grown-up, then Jupiter will let us know in a
very big way. With Capricorn sitting so enormous on the horizon, it is wise to
ask yourself if there is some area of life where you could be more responsible and
mature. Think about it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The symbol
for Capricorn is the sure-footed mountain goat.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We have our goals, our mountains to climb. All the planets
in Capricorn will help us be sure-footed.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">For
now and for some months ahead, Capricorn is calling the shots. We are asked to
be hardworking, confident and sincerely committed to our endeavors. Capricorn
is somber. The palette for Capricorn is brown, steel gray, and black.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Capricorn is tradition and it is the
book of rules. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Even through the
Sun is traveling through Sagittarius until the Winter Solstice on December 21<sup>st</sup>,
we are caught in the seriousness of Capricorn energy. We want to feel safe and
secure, but the shadow side of Capricorn is fear and greed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s hard to make changes if we are
fearful and it's hard to change without investing some of our resources. We cannot
hoard or hold on too tight. Capricorn and its ruler, Saturn, have domain over
maturity and aging. With aging hopefully comes wisdom. In the natural order of
things, leaders become leaders because they have worked hard, they have the
skills and they have earned the respect of peers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Maybe all the Capricorn energy suggests that we will have a
gray haired or white haired candidate for President in 2020.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">And
by the way, we have a Solar Eclipse the day after Christmas! We just can’t
avoid facing practical matters and responsibilities during the next months. The
mountain goat makes the climb look easy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I will study the mountain goat. They pause to rest and regain balance and
footing before taking the next step. Sometimes they stay still for long periods
of time and then gracefully scramble up the mountain. </span><span style="font-size: 10.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #1c1e21; font-family: Palatino; font-size: 12pt;">Astro Tips for the New Moon in
Scorpio.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: #1c1e21; font-family: Palatino; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">I'm Linda and I am born under the
sign of Scorpio. Intensity cannot be avoided if you are a Scorpio. The chase
for intimacy that is divinely connective cannot be avoided if you are a
Scorpio. Likewise transformation. No way to avoid loss, transformation and
evolution if you are alive. If you didn't know these things already, you do
now. The New Moon in Scorpio (conjunct the Sun in Scorpio) exactly opposed
planet Uranus at 4 degrees of Taurus on Sunday October 27. This aspect brought
intense shock after shock . . . fires in California, battles in Washington DC
over impeachment of the President of the United States, and intense rage and
hate in our collective body. Uranus brings the unexpected and those events are
often life changing.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: #1c1e21; font-family: Palatino; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"><br />
If you don't live in California, say some words of thanks, and send whatever
good energy you can to our fellow humans who are enduring fear and loss in that
beautiful state. If we are disturbed by the toxicity of our collective
environment, what do we do? Someone suggested this mantra: I forgive my fellow
humans for not being who I thought they should be.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: #1c1e21; font-family: Palatino; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"><br />
Perhaps shock has awakened your psyche and there is no turning back. What new
awareness has visited you in the past few days? Are you living your life, or
someone else's? Perhaps you will get a glimpse of your true passion as Scorpio
Sun makes it way through the heavens. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: #1c1e21; font-family: Palatino; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"><br />
Uranus is an awakener. What truth are we waking up to? Scorpio teaches us to
search for meaning by stepping into the mystery of life. Uranus is slapping us
around so we can engage with our own mysteries. Uranus is about our
individuation and our unique ways of being brilliant. If we can be brilliant
without getting a big head, things go well. If big head takes over, we step
into a dirty river and no good comes from anything.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: #1c1e21; font-family: Palatino; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"><br />
Take this New Moon seriously. Find your unique talents. Be proud and loving of
your smartness and your integrity. Don't be afraid to be intense. Don't run
from the awakener. Go ahead, transform, don't be afraid.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: #1c1e21; font-family: Palatino; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"><br />
Does this all sound very dramatic?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Scorpio cannot avoid being dramatic.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Depending
on where you live, the full moon will be exact either late Friday night on the
13<sup>th</sup> or just after midnight on<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>the 14<sup>th</sup>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Here are a few interesting things to contemplate about this Harvest Moon
just prior to the Autumnal Equinox on September 23.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">The
Full Moon in Pisces is sitting with Neptune in Pisces.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When the Moon and Neptune are united in
a birth chart, there is the suggestion that the person has sensitive, empathic,
intuitive, psychic, spiritual, abilities.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>In ancient times, this would be the signature of the seer, and the
interpreter of omens.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The period
between Thursday the 12<sup>th</sup> through Sunday the 15<sup>th</sup> gives
us an open door to other dimensions, frequencies and realms of existence.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s terrific for meditation, spiritual
studies, artistic work, sound healing, significant dreams, psychic
investigations and musical inspiration.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>This is a beautiful period.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Or we can just go crazy! Maybe we bump into a bad core issue and can’t
get out of the room.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Maybe we get
paranoid or crazy for a few hours.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Pisces is the last sign of the zodiac, the room that holds everything in
all its beauty, horror, complexity and confusion.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>All signs have complexity.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>With this full moon, planets in Virgo (Sun, Mars, Venus,
Mercury) keep us mentally grounded, for the most part. Call on your Virgo analytical
skills to help with balance.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><o:p> </o:p></span><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Another
interesting thing about the full moon in Pisces is how it makes a direct
confrontation with Mars in Virgo. This makes us sensitive and maybe anger.</span><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 14pt;">It might be hard to be objective during
this full moon time—again remember you have the ability to analyze situations.
The moon also opposes or confronts Venus in Virgo. </span><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Loving kindness from family and friends can soften whatever
troubles we stumble into right now.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">The
next thing to understand about this full moon is this; everything is
exaggerated! Jupiter sits in a T-cross, a stressful aspect, with the full moon,
the Sun, Mars and Neptune.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Ego is
big, emotions are big, anger is big, Neptune (our personal illusion-our self
undoing!) is big.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This
energy has been going on for a few weeks and continues through the second week
of October. We promise more than we can deliver. Others do the same.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s a time to be careful when you
making big purchases.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Read the
fine print.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Check out all
legalities before closing the deal. Be careful about falling for a sales pitch.
People want to do more than might be possible.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I don’t know about you, but I am frustrated that my Jupiter
goals are not all attainable in one day!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>That’s the exaggeration.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>There is a big gift in this full moon period with Jupiter in a strong
T-cross<u>:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>this is a time when we
truly can get some clarity about our goals</u>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We can get in touch with our specialness and feel strongly
motivated to accomplish our mission!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>This is good.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Don’t be
afraid to allow your soul, your ego, and your mind to expand and exaggerate
your abilities.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>From that inner
vision some fabulous reality will unfold.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span><u>This is big kick-off energy to be who you are.<o:p></o:p></u></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Then
there is the collective, the matters of the world.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What does this full moon reveal about the big picture? As I
mentioned above, a lot of our social structures and collective beliefs feel
unstable and critical.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And, of
course a lot of things seem very grim. It’s hard to make lemonade out of the
elimination of clean water regulations, for example.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There is zero lemonade to be had when the Amazon rain forest
is burning.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">The
South Node of the Moon is sitting tightly with Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’m calling this aspect, grave karma.
It is collective karma.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We are all
involved. We are all responsible.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We need to contemplate what we can do to help resolve this massive karma
that is affecting humanity, all sentient beings and our planet.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It takes more than blaming others,
although that is so tempting.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">The
nodal axis takes eighteen years to make its way around the zodiac.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This same nodal energy was present for
September 11, 2001.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The current
transit of the nodes in Cancer and Capricorn is an invitation to have a new
vision for resolving problems on our planet. It won’t happen overnight, but new
energy and beliefs can be put in place using vision, intention, action and
faith and common sense! It is amazing how far we have drifted from simple,
common sense. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The job does feel
big and overwhelming. Everyone’s job is different. The alternative is to fall
into hopelessness and despair, to neglect our own healing, or to refuse to transform
from the inside out. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Read Knost’s
poem one more time:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The broken
world waits in darkness/for the light that is you.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 18.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Scott
Peck, psychiatrist and author of<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><u>The
Road Less Traveled,</u> wrote another book, <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><u>People</u> <u>of the Lie</u> (1983).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Peck’s book had a profound effect on my
thinking and on my trauma recovery practice that began around 1990.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The fundamental message of his book is
this:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><u>mental health is a</u> <u>commitment
to reality</u>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I feel pretty
certain that statement is a direct quote but I don’t have the book in front of
me to check that out.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There are
people who seek reality and truth and there are people who turn off the lights
and live in dark rooms of confusion and untruth. They are motivated solely by self-interest
and self-preservation. Currently we are being lead and governed by many people
of the lie.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This full moon period
gives us another chance to wake up and shake the reality tree. The signals are
clear that we must commit to reality in order to stay health individually and
collectively.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 18.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">The
Full Moon is in Sagittarius. The underlying motivation of Sagittarius is the
search for truth. We reach that truth by using the energy of Gemini and
Mercury. We are curious. Curiosity leads to openness, research and the
accumulation of enough information to finally have the sense that we have
reached some degree of truth, upon which we can make decisions. It is difficult
to get anywhere on the truth train when people of the lie are in charge of the
data and the dissemination of information.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<u><span style="font-size: 18.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Neptune
has strange ways of teaching us what is real.<o:p></o:p></span></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 18.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">The
Sun is traveling through Gemini and the Moon is full in Sagittarius. One would
think that everyone would be jumping up and down to find some truth during this
full moon.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And many people are
doing just that.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But Neptune blurs
the boundary between truth and non-truth. On the one hand, Neptune shows us
that everything is good and with time everything will be ok. We long for
perfection and believe eventually we will get it. On the other hand, Neptune
drags us into a hall of distorted mirrors and contradictions.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>During this full moon period, Neptune
sits like a neon sign in between the Sun and Moon.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Neptune is either inviting us to stay content in our little
make-believe world or it is signaling us to reach beyond illusion and find some
truth. Neptune says there is more going on here than you realize. Neptune says
the masses, (and that means all of us) are confused and living in a cloud of
illusion. I do not propose that I know what the absolute truth is or where we
are in our search for truth.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<u><span style="font-size: 18.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">We
accept darkness and we welcome the light.<o:p></o:p></span></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 18.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Here’s
one possibility though. Truth is a process.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Mental health is a process of committing oneself to reality.
Likewise the search for truth. The accumulation of information and experience
takes us on a journey to uncover what we can of our inner and outer truth.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>To journey into truth requires that we
stop lying to our self. We give up our addictions. We stop believing someone
will save us from our self. We stop living in a belief system that has no open
doorways. We DO seek exit signs to take us beyond of our denial and confusion.
We accept our darkness and we are grateful for all the light we can get.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<u><span style="font-size: 18.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">What
is happening is this: the inside is turned inside out for everything to be
revealed.<o:p></o:p></span></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 18.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">This
full moon is yet another chapter in the ongoing essay of facing reality.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Our collective situation grows graver
and graver. Every individual is asked to face reality.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We are asked to integrate Saturnian
common sense with our Neptunian spirituality.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If the spiritual world cuts us off from reality too much,
then we may never clean up the oceans. If spirituality cuts us off from
compassion for the living, then we are headed for a twisted social order.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What we face as a collective is the
outer manifestation of what is held inside the collective. What is happening in
our world is just the inside of us has been turned inside out.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We see the messiness now: a world of
lies, deceit, mean-spiritedness and manipulation on a massive scale. The
lessons of the past are distorted. The drive for greed overrides the desire to
face the bigger realities: like we are one, there is enough for everybody, we
are citizens of a universe.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These
bigger realities are held in Neptune’s fog and we have to use a different kind
of sight to see them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Scott Peck
advises in his book to be aware that there are people incapable of looking at
their own darkness, people who can never admit they are responsible for something.
They cannot even see the relationship between themselves and what is happening
around them. There are people of the lie.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>They are trapped in their fear and their willful drive to be in control.
Their life strategy is to be in control of others in order to survive.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> We cannot surrender to living in a world of lies.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 18.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">We
can hope that Frodo is on his way to toss the gold ring into the blazing
volcano so these control freaks don’t take over. Or, we can realize that we
must go together to throw the ring into the fire. There is plenty of room for
leaders and heroes. But this is a collective march to make sure that the people
of the lie do not have their way.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<u><span style="font-size: 18.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">We’ve
been here before.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>How can we do it
differently?<o:p></o:p></span></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 18.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">In
addition to this powerful full moon, some astrologers consider June 18<sup>th</sup>
the most difficult day of 2019.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Just after the full moon we face a strong roadblock with Saturn, Pluto,
the Moon and the south node (all in Capricorn) in a stand off with the Sun still
in Gemini and Mercury, Mars and the north node all in Cancer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The nodes can be indicators of the past
and the future. We have been here before. People of the lie have always been
among us. How can we make different decisions? If we get through this week
without finding our country in a war with Iran, can we rest a little easier?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Hopefully wisdom will prevail and leaders
will breathe and reflect and remember that we have been here before. How can we
do it differently?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 18.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Same
is true in our individual lives. Look around yourself and inside yourself. What
truth about your life journey do you see? Is this the reality you want? Are you
pretending (that would be Neptune)?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Are you going with the crowd just to belong (that would be Saturn).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Are you suggesting a revolution or
change (that would be Uranus?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Just
something to think about. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<u><span style="font-size: 18.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Despite
“the heavy” this is a time of enthusiasm, optimism and hope. For many people, a
new life is unfolding and Neptune is showing the way.<o:p></o:p></span></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 18.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Jupiter
rules the sign of Sagittarius, the full moon.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There is enthusiasm, optimism and hope this month. This Full
Moon period has happiness and enlightenment.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Sun is in Gemini, ruled by Mercury. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Water planets have been making happy
trines in the sky. We are asked to use our mind and all we know to help us stay
grounded in reality, while we move on to a new place. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 18.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Then
quickly we move from full moon to a strong dose of Capricorn:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Saturn and Pluto and the Moon and the
south node. Capricorn rules governments and banking and big corporate entities.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>All of them want to keep the status
quo. They want to stay in control. They will use any Plutonian means to stay in
control of the Plutonian wealth they have acquired.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is NOT true of all corporations, wealthy individuals or
all members of government.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 18.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Then
we have the Summer Solstice on Friday June 21. The longest day of the year in
the northern hemisphere allows us to bask in the light. The Sun enters Cancer
and moves us into warmth, comfort and growth. Needless to say we are living in
powerful times.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I will stop before
xaplanets.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As this Inuit Song
announces: “there is only one great thing….to live to see in huts and on
journeys, the great day that dawns and light that fills the world.” Happy
Summer Solstice!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Happy Vernal Equinox and Full Moon in VIrgo. Moon is connected with the Sun in Pisces, Mercury retrograde in Pisces, and Neptune in Pisces. Wow. Neptune is the planet that rules Pisces. We have lots of blurry, foggy energy to deal with. For some of us this takes the form of fatigue. Don't hesitate to take naps. Escape into movies, not drugs. meditate or take a walk and celebrate nature. Virgo Moon brings some left brain clarity after days of weird inner thoughts and feelings.<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline; font-family: inherit;"><span> </span>Am I crazy? Virgo says NO you are not. Just relax and connect with your brain cells. I keep losing things in the house. What about you? Mercury retrograde in Pisces. Dreamy. Remember Neptune tends to dissolve what it touches.In this case, it's the BRAIN and communication. Boundaries are a serious issue. We are one and we are all connected but we are each an individual person. Keep that in mind. Watch out for manipulation in the news and from other people as well. Don't fall for sales pitch. Easy time to buy without thinking it through. Think it through. It's all good. We are on our way to rebirth and renewal. Say yes to that!</span></div>

Hold on to your Ego!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The New Moon in Pisces this week , on March 6, was sitting beautifully
with the Sun and Neptune. Neptune tends to dissolve whatever it touches.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The ego, the mind, the body, the truth,
your energy, and your motivation may get softened, blurred, diminished or
weakened by Neptune’s touch.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
Sun/Neptune togetherness has continued throughout the week. Big yawn. The Sun
and Neptune together is great for a silent retreat, yin yoga, long naps, movies,
petting your cat and most anything that doesn’t require super expenditure of
energy. Neptune tends to dissolve what it touches.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Sun is our vital energy and also our conscious ego (who
we think we are).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Neptune and Sun
joining together can bring confusion, self-doubt (about that ego), and
diminished energy. Take note please that this period is short for most of us. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Please don’t blame Neptune for being
totally lazy. The people most affected by this New Moon in Pisces with a big
hit of Neptune are those affected by Pisces and Neptune.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Born under the sign of Pisces or you
have Pisces as rising sign or you have the Moon in Pisces? You are seriously affected
by this New Moon. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Especially
people born this first week of March need to see this as a time to slow down
and not over commit. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These folks
need extra rest. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>People who are
under big Neptune transits also need rest.</div>

Neptune and Sun together also brings confusion in our

with mass hysteria and drinking some odd kool-aide. Perhaps we could do our own
research on news flashes if they seem outrageous.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Neptune rules trends, like fashion and popular TV shows.
Unfortunately Neptune is beginning to affect the collective political climate
in an extreme manner.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We are
living in a reality-show world. I’m sure there is something super important to
be learned from this.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Neptune
teaches us compassion. We experience continual updates about the suffering of
humanity and all sentient beings and this gives us opportunity to stretch and
have compassion for things beyond our domicile and neighborhoods. In addition,
Neptune teaches us to discern reality from deception and sabotage.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Is this a test?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Is Neptune transiting Pisces testing
us, putting us through a collective initiation about truth and reality?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Neptune and Pisces are embedded in the 12<sup>th</sup> house
of the zodiac.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The 12the house is
mysterious. It is full of everything. This earth plane and all its
institutional hallways are included in the 12<sup>th</sup> house of the zodiac.
People get lost in hallway corridors and sometimes open the wrong door. Other
Neptunian departments of the 12<sup>th</sup> house are: dreamtime, other
dimensions of reality, the cosmos, sound currents from the Universe, sacred
geometry, the Divine and LUNACY. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s no wonder we have a complicated existence.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>No wonder we want to escape with
alcohol, TV and religions that give us a pat answer to everything. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The 12<sup>th</sup> house is a lot of
take on. This New Moon in March is full of 12<sup>th</sup> house, Neptunian,
topics.</div>

<u>Higher Truth Requires Humility<o:p></o:p></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Right now with Neptune and Sun (the solar energy that feeds
us and keeps us alive) traveling together in the sky, we have an opportunity to
explore our own complexity. Think about how you escape to make things simple.
Our country wants to escape the complexity of oneness by building a wall. Will
that work? How can we embrace the bigger, awesome panorama of existence?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Remember:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As above, so below (Hermes Trismogistus) and Everything is
connected, the web is holy (Marcus Aurelius). Higher truth requires humility
and this is something the ego struggles with. Hold on to your ego. Ego is a
good thing but it needs to safely expand to understand the self in relationship
to everything else.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This requires
that we be open to the fullness of experiences, rather than closed off by mental
beliefs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>By Linda Sprague</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica;">Lunar Eclipse<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica;">January 20/21, 2019<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica;">The Lunar Eclipse is
occurring in the Sign Leo at zero degrees Leo. Of course the Full Moon in Leo
opposes the Sun in Aquarius.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
Sun is joined with Mercury and Pluto in Capricorn, along with Saturn in Capricorn.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Planet Uranus is making a challenging
connection to the Lunar Eclipse at 28 degrees of Aries.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica;">Uranus can bring sudden
upsets or surprises, and sometimes they are life changing. This Eclipse could
bring significant changes for many people. Since eclipses start before the
actual day and continue for months after the eclipse date, we can look to humanity
and the government shutdown as the big upset that is life changing for hundreds
of thousands of people.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Leo (where
the moon is) rules the individual while Aquarius (where the Sun is) rules
humanity.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Capricorn, where
Mercury, Pluto and Saturn are currently sitting, rules the government.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica;">One more tip:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Uranus belongs to the sign of
Aquarius.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Therefore this eclipse
is associated with disruption for the people and the cause is the government.
If you are not a government employee affected by the shutdown, count your
blessings. Think about how long this shut down will impact the employees.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You and I both know that once you get
behind it’s really hard to catch up. Even if you get a big check down the line,
it’s already committed. It’s not a good solution for our country and it is
affecting the economy across the board. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica;">And that brings us to
where the eclipse is actually occurring:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Leo, the individual and Aquarius, humanity.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>How do we balance our individuality with other people? This
is a good time to ask yourself:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>what are my talents and gifts that I can share with other people to make
a better place here on Earth?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>How
can I share from my heart and soul without getting totally carried away by my
ego and my desire to out-do everyone else?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>How can I balance my desire to share and receive attention
and abundance in a way that is in accordance with the good for all? Right now,
in our government, there is an abundance of individual ego battling the
suffering of humanity.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica;">Maybe this energy will
help us envision what we want for ourselves in a way that also envisions
goodness for others AND the elimination of unnecessary suffering. We will
always have suffering, illness, and loss. That is part of life. But some
suffering, like the government shutdown causing trauma and distress for so many
. . . is that necessary suffering?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Of course we need to look at our own consciousness.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Any government is a reflection of the
people.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Who are we and what can we
do as individuals to make it different?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Things to think about as we gaze at that beautiful eclipse!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

either past issues, karmic difficulties (like the fires) and body issues (perhaps
some folks are feeling physical/emotional pain from the collective and Mother
Earth herself (!)<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>in their
bodies). <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Everyone is impacted by the eclipse. Wherever you have the
signs Leo and Aquarius in your chart, you are affected. The Leo/Aquarius
polarity deals with the interplay between the self (the Leo part) and the
community (the Aquarius part).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It
also shows us what is happening between Leo leadership and Aquarian
humanity.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Aquarius rules the
people and the brotherhood/sisterhood of mankind.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Leo rules the king, or the leader and leaders. People born
under the signs of Leo and Aquarius are greatly affected by the eclipse.
Scorpios and Taurus people also are impacted in a big way. We need an
individual reading of the horoscope to address how the eclipses might affect
any particular individual.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I want
to make <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">one important clarification
about</b> <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">the word karma</b>. When I
mention the karmic impact on people going through the trauma of fires, I do not
mean all those people have bad karma from living in California. I just mean the
catastrophic earth event has thrown them into a serious, karmic situation that
has to do with our earth and our society. Some type of earthly karma is causing
those people great suffering. There is no blame here.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">The
World is changed by our example, not by our opinions.<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">One of the things we are learning during these three
recent eclipses is how the world is changed by our example, not by our
opinions.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The outpouring of
bizarre opinions that we are assaulted with everyday should be teaching us that
all the different frequencies of beliefs and opinions is just chatter.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When we begin to change internally and
know we are multidimensional beings, that we belong to the Universe and to each
other, then life on earth will change as well.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

Regarding the upcoming Full Moon Lunar Eclipse on July 27th: "We are living in the shadow and it is important for us to be the change, be the love, and become the shamans. It is time to grow our own souls for we cannot solve these problems at the vibration that they were created." Marilyn Zimmerman....Aquarian enlightener, artist, teacher, feminine guide, visionary, and friend!</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
This full moon lunar eclipse on July 27 will not be visible in our hemisphere. Africa, the Middle <span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline; font-family: inherit;">East and Asia will witness the visual phenomenon of the longest eclipse in this century. Apparently some Christian groups have assigned "end of times" meaning to this Blood Moon eclipse as well as the other blood moons we have been experienced in the recent past. Perhaps instead of the end of the world, the full blood moons of the recent past--and this upcoming eclipse--are an invitation to collective awakening for visionary changes and kindness to one another.The Moon is associated with the unconscious and with all that we experience in our bodies. Let's set an intention for awakening our unconscious blockages and freeing our bodies from the entrapment of worn out beliefs that freeze potential for ourselves and for humanity. The eclipse occurs at 4 degrees in the sign of Aquarius. Aquarius is the Water Bearer....the one who brings watery, emotional enlightenment to humanity. Saturn rules Aquarius and Aquarius is a fixed sign. The energy of this sign can stay stuck in the rigidity of conventional Saturn; if can stay buried in the fear of losing one's own status or position in society; it can attach to hoarding, greed and self-survival. OR it can break free and build new containers and new foundations (both physical and non physical) for evolution on planet Earth. Saturn in Aquarius has the capacity to view reality through a spiritual lens. Truly Aquarius has the potential for the true meaning of Saturn: we are responsible and we do the job because it needs to be done. We don't do it for self interest or to climb a totem pole. We do it because we it is right thing to do for oneself and for all sentiment beings.</span></div>
<div class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline; font-family: inherit;">
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px;">
Personal reflection: What is my responsibility to myself and to my family and friends, and to life on this planet? How can I be a part of the enlightenment for a better world? Let's start with kindness, compassion, truth and the offering of intelligent solutions for problems that support what Roman Emperor, Marcus Aurelius, said so many centuries ago (161-180 AD): "Everything is connected and the web is holy." To believe otherwise only contributes to the end of all that has been achieved in human consciousness since the beginning of time.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">The
Full Moon occurs at 9 degrees of Scorpio, the Sun opposing at 9 degrees of
Taurus.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Scorpio-Taurus
polarity is highlighted. Taurus, ruled by Venus, is about the Earth plane.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What are my resources? How can I
acquire more resources?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Having
something gives me value.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There is
truth in the Taurus experience.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Grown-ups should provide food, clothing and shelter for themselves if at
all possible.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Pluto rules the
opposite sign, Scorpio. Pluto pushes us to let go. One way to express the
meaning of Pluto is this:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Not my
will, but THY will be done.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
word, Thy, can mean Life, the Universe, the Divine, God, Goddess, Nature, Fate,
or any other expression that works for you.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Taurus tells us what to keep. Scorpio tells us what to share
and what to let go of in order to find meaning in life. Somewhere in that mix
we accept we are powerless (that’s the Pluto part) over some aspects of our
life.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">This
Full Moon is rich and complex.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Challenges are balanced with cosmic help!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Saturn, the taskmaster – the planet we associate with
frustration, delays and hardship – makes a flowing, easy connection with the
Sun in Taurus.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We can get things
done, or we can envision how we will get things done in the near future.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Mars and Pluto are holding hands during
this time. Normally we would think Mars and Pluto are ready for a fight.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Mars is the battlefield and Pluto
intensifies that field. In this case Mars and Pluto are connected to other
planets that offer opportunity to take appropriate assertive action, not
impulsive war.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Mars and Pluto
together in Capricorn suggests restraint to this strong aggressive aspect.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Planet Jupiter, moving through Scorpio,
is making a wide conjunction with the Moon. Jupiter amplifies the deep
seriousness of Full Moon in Scorpio.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Both the Moon and Jupiter make a beautiful connection with Neptune.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Spiritual inspiration, good will and
loving connection with others, and the acceptance of life’s mystery are all
indicated by the Moon-Jupiter-Neptune connection.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

a big exhale as we look at the stress in this complex mix of planetary

who are especially affected by this Full Moon (born in 1943, 1921, 1981, 1999,
2018) might be drawn into exploring their life history and meaning, coming face
to face with their fate.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This Full
Moon will help some individuals contemplate whether or not they are on the
right path. Questions of an authentic life and a meaningful existence are
suggested by this Full Moon.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Some
of our existence may seem fated by family or cultural events.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Prior to our birth, there is an
eclipse. That is the eclipse that really affects our fate and destiny. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Node GRAND Square of this full moon. Here are some suggestions for things to do
inside this room.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Breathe, write
some morning pages, light a candle, chant a mantra, meditate, drum, toss the
IChing, pull an oracle card, draw out a time line of your human journey.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Embrace your life essay—feelings,
thoughts and physical manifestations of the essay (family, work, partners and
friends).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>How does it feel? Can
you find some peace in this room?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Can you get a sense of what to release from your life and what to keep?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Can you relax and accept destiny and
fate and still feel life calling you for more . . . calling you more deeply
into your mystery?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Connecting with
the Full Moon in Scorpio gives us a chance to be reborn again and to welcome
new awareness of our journey.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<u>How do we balance what we want with what others want?<o:p></o:p></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The Full Moon on March 31<sup>st</sup> is in the sign of
Libra. When the Moon is full, the Sun is in the opposite sign, in this case,
Aries.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One of the best ways to
learn and understand astrology is through the idea of polarity.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We look at the meaning of opposing
signs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Sun in Aries is about
the individual. Aries people are strong leaders. They are quick and know when
to act. Sometimes it might look like they are self-absorbed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Aries is the first sign, or the ME
sign. Wherever you have Aries, you are focused on yourself or that is where you
take leadership.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The opposite is
Libra, the sign of cooperating with others in order to find balance and
harmony. This full moon in Libra brings our awareness to the interplay between
our own personal agenda and the agendas of our partner, our friends, and our
community.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Venus, the
relational planet, rules Libra. Mars, assertion, rules Aries. How do we balance
what we want with what others want, without a big stinking argument? </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<u>Short-fused Mars is mixed up with the Sun and the Moon:
be careful!<o:p></o:p></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Mercury is sitting close to that Aries Sun. The Sun, Mercury
and the Moon are all making a short-fused connection to Mars. It will be
tempting to open the mouth and say things you later regret. OR open the mouth
and say things because it’s time to clear the air. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Try to practice self-control. Hopefully those around you will
exhibit self-control as well.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Mars
mixed up in this Full Moon can produce arguments and explosions.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Fortunately Saturn is sitting with Mars
and that should tone down the hot expression of Mars.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Nonetheless, with Mars and Saturn in Capricorn making a big
appearance during this Full Moon, we can expect some shouting matches.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Planet Mars means war, assertion, aggression,
and arguments.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<u>Mars and Saturn are sitting on the same chair: (1)
stalemate; (2) emotional caution; (3) productive focus<o:p></o:p></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The good news is that Mars can just as well point to productive
action, especially in this case.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Planet Saturn gives precise focus to Mars. When they are sharing the
same chair, a variety of things can happen. First of all, there can be a
stalemate.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Saturn can temporarily
put a stop to Mars. Hit the accelerator/hit the brake. There can be delays in
projects and activities, especially right now because Mercury is
retrograde.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Secondly, Mars and
Saturn together translate as emotional caution and also emotional
sensitivity.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Saturn is boundaries
and Mars is outward expression.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Boundaries are often necessary and good but withdrawing and taking no
action or risk (Mars) can be an emotional wet blanket.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Finally Mars and Saturn working
together means focus.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For many
people this full moon period provides a productive environment for
accomplishing tasks and projects. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<u>Take a break from cynicism and negativity<o:p></o:p></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
There is still a lot of good spiritual juice flowing between
Jupiter in Scorpio and Neptune in Pisces.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Expect more news of compassion and good will.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Cynicism and negativity is not as popular right now. Venus
and Uranus are connecting nicely with Mars.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Uranus is the awakening of humanity.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The impact of March for Our Lives
continues to uplift people with its heart-filled messages.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
On March 30 Venus leaves Aries and moves into the sign of
Taurus and that’s where Venus likes to be. Taurus is earthy so it’s nice to
have Venus in Taurus during this spring season.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Maybe it will help things grow!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Maybe it will bring better weather for those up north!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<u>In April, expect the unexpected<o:p></o:p></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The New Moon in Aries will happen on April 15, the same day
that Mercury in Aries goes stationary direct. Sounds like a powerful New Moon
coming up. Uranus will be sitting right with Mercury. Expect some surprising
big news. </div>
