February 25 - March 3, 2012

2012-02-25T14:00:00.002-05:00

For the week ahead there are quite a few strong relationship indicators this week. The best day for meeting someone new is Sunday. There are also a couple of very good Green Light Days beginning Sunday at 9:29 AM through Tuesday at 2:45 PM. This is an excellent time for agreements about money and property. Another Green Light period is very early on Friday Mar 2 and very brief; don't miss out - get up early & take advantage of a great time to connect from 6:40 AM until 8:13 AM. This is great for sending off important emails or any other mailing. Connect with those overseas or communicate something important to your siblings. Write a great letter or launch a website. Make use of it the best way you can.
_________________________________________________________
Feb 25. Saturday's Aries Moon runs through Sunday at 9:29 AM and is very active with multiple planetary events. The Moon runs into a snag at the end of the sign when it opposes retrograde Saturn in Libra. This brings the cost way up. If you plan on charging fast through a task, then rethink that. Slow down. Aries wants it all right now. You don't want to severe a relationship at the cost of a small gain. Happy Birthday Marcia G!
Get out and play today. Get physical in some way.
1:56 PM A 45° aspect for Mercury & Jupiter spout off sounding more like a "know it all" and it might get lost on the way. You may be better off asking for directions.
Retail gets a boost when the Moon joins Venus and wants to doll up right before Vesta, the investor moves into the hot sign of Aries. A hot tip might work for a short run but wait until Sunday after 9:29 AM for the final bid.
Venus (love & compromise) and Saturn (the seal and nod from the top) are disappointed about something. Maybe there is a way around what you are trying to accomplish.
_________________________________________________________
Feb 26 Sunday. The Sun and Venus keep the charm meter running even while the Moon opposes Saturn at 7:51 AM Sunday. It's good for sleeping late.
Sunday the Moon enters Taurus at 9:29 AM until Tuesday night at 10:27 PM. Green Light Period. Go for it. A Taurus Moon is great for investments of all kinds.
At 4:05 PM the Sun and Saturn seal the deal when they parallel for a long-term benefit. This helps you to make decisions regarding real estate and older family members. Key officials align to orchestrate structural changes within family, business or government. Serious plans advance.
Its time to take charge yet be sure to engage with wise counsel.
_________________________________________________________
Feb 27 Monday. Great Taurus Moon. Food first. Dine with those you wish to persuade to your line of thinking. Venus and Mars are parallel all day, bringing men and women together. This aspect allows people in general to connect in a social setting. There is an opportunity for desires to lead to romance and maybe sex. It's a love thing. Beyond that you can be highly motivated to shop as this indicates the flow of money and great for the retail business. There is a strong motivation toward acquisition. Opposites are brought together for a singular purpose. Partnering. Close bonding and involvement with those attracted to one another for friendship, business or romance. This is a good match for love and money matters. Later Venus and Juno, the bride, join and then Mars connects with Juno. Surely the odds for a good relationship have increased but keep in mind that the Mars character is a little reluctant while retrograde till April 13. Perhaps a love from your past returns.
_________________________________________________________
Feb 28. Tuesday's Sun - Pluto 60° aspect adds to the power of the financial market. Use this for investments late Monday and up until 2:45 PM Tuesday. Here are a few good ways to use this powerful energy. Use it to build valuable bridges and engage with people in a position of power. There may be serious matters in your life or in the world at large but solutions are available. Research and take action to move forward. 60 degree aspects mean you have a good opportunity but you must act to activate it. A formidable plan with determination and decisiveness is available. There is a deep revelation that supports inner and outer progress on both a personal level and how one relates to his greater surroundings. You may uncover methods for gaining control over matters that once seemed larger than life and uncontrollable. This aspect brings strong sexual desires and body language. There is a premise for trust and deeper sharing. Look for an opening to access financial assistance. For instance some towns allow for a tax rate reduction for those that do not have kids in the school system. The Moon is v/c from that time until it enters Gemini at 10:26 PM.
The Moon enters Gemini at 10:26 PM through Friday at 10:08 AM. This is a difficult for decision making and final choices as the Gemini Moon has to manage damage control for its ruling planet Mercury who is headed for the door possibly with the necessary documents. This is because Mercury leaves Pisces and moves into Aries on Friday morning. Until then matters that concern you are iffy. Someone or something is dropped for or someone changes their mind. This is also complicated by a 1st Qtr Moon in Gemini. Be careful in transit as I have seen traffic incidents galore when this type of Mercury situation is present. '
_________________________________________________________
Feb 29 Wednesday. Hold off on final decisions. Simply enjoy the visits and chatter. Mercury is joining with Uranus for a brainstorming session. There is brilliance born of this temporary type of aspect that brings people together for a one time event. Later Mercury contacts the best counselor it can find - all things consider but later changes direction. Happy Birthday to my dear friend Kathy Dagostino.

A First Quarter Moon at 10° 51'Gemini at 8:21 PM set the stage to get on with important matters. The seed has sprouted and it's time to make a serious "to do list". This lunar phase is related to events that began in some way last June 1, 2011. Now is the time to apply for licenses and network. Write up your project announcements but launch them early Friday morning 6:41 AM-8:14 AM.
_________________________________________________________
Thursday Mar 1. Hold off on final selections. If you want to drop something this may be your chance. Such as drop your cable company but wait until Mercury changes signs (Friday at 6:40 AM- 8:14 AM) before entering into a new agreement. There are several Mercury aspects. It is as if he makes the rounds to bring everyone together for an important message. Some are old or out of step and you could be over thinking to the point of anguish. Others appear to have concerns about children. There is a brilliant link when Mercury bonds with Uranus in the evening - that is an odd notion - bonding with Uranus. Try visiting with friends. This should help matters but Mercury leaves before sealing the deal. Just keep it light. Be careful while traveling.
_________________________________________________________
Mar 2. Friday. Mercury enters Aries for quite a spell as it will turn retrograde in this sign on March 12 through April 4, 2012. Mercury remains in Aries until May 9. But for Friday this marks that brief Green Light window until 8:13 AM.
On Friday March 2 the Moon enters Cancer at 10:08 AM. This is a highly expensive Moon sign period because Venus soaks up all the money perhaps on something frivolous. The spending could cause an argument as a more serious need is at hand.
Mars and Saturn are in a very cranky 45° angle at 6:30 PM. This makes it hard to compromise. Work is hard and you might overlook the necessities. Venus and Neptune are adding a layer of soothing anesthesia. You might be tempted to give your problems the old "cosmetic fix up" but shortcuts are not a good idea at this time.

_________________________________________________________
Mar 3 Saturday. The Cancer Moon appears to be worried about money and for good reason. There are a few aspects on Saturday that contribute to the angst. Retrograde Mars and the Sun stand off at the opposition at 3:10 PM. This is confrontational which may lead to a court day if you refuse to back down. There is a remarkable investment opportunity that arises with Uranus conjunct Vesta at 6:42 PM. However this is not a good day to buy, sign or agree. For that wait for a GREEN LIGHT period on March 5 after 5:25 AM through March 6 at 10:27 PM.

The week overview of major astrological activity.

In the background, Mars has been retrograde since Jan 23rd and remains so until April 13. Mars governs our drive. Some of which has been blocked or stalled. It might seem the muscles of your goals have softened and your drive is frustrated by extenuating circumstances. You are put on hold becuase those above you have not yet made a decision. A contributing factor leans on Saturn which is also retrgrade since Feb 7 but for a much longer period (June 25). The Full Moon of March 8th directly engages the sign of service and labor and reminds Mars of the methods for its driving force. Perhaps its time to review older goals and finish with the loose ends of your current projects in a methodical fashion.

The Capricorn Moon welcomed the Sun's transit into the sign of Pisces. This marks
the final month of winter on Sunday, Feb 19 at 1:17 AM until March 20.

The Aquarius Moon on Sunday at 5:28 AM brings a couple of solid Green Light days through Tues at 11:17 AM. We enter the darkest phase of the Moon in the lunar month late Monday night which continues past Tuesday's New Moon and until mid-afternoon on Wednesday. There is a void of course Aquarius Moon period on Tues from 11:16 AM until the Moon enters Pisces at 12:31 PM. The Pisces Moon sign can be considered a Green Light period as long as you receive and not take direct actions until there is more will be revealed on Wednesday. Wednesday is the best day for entering into a plan. The New Moon occurs at 2^ Pisces42' and at 5:35 PM on Tuesday Feb 21.

The Aquarius Moon is like a breath of fresh air through 12:31 PM on Tuesday. This is the Green light period of which you need to clean up old matters and prepare to receive new Moon energy.

Sunday Feb 19. The Aquarius Moon gives us a Green Light day however your vision might be clouding reality as you may have an over idealized outcome. (Sun conjunct Neptune at 3:40 PM). That aspect is one used best by a double-check of your motives. Try to bounce your ideas off another before moving forward. But the ideas are bubbling for new ventures. Mercury makes three contacts on Sunday; Mercury parallel Saturn. This aspect rules the organization of the mind and brings structure to tasks. Mercury is 30degrees to Ceres which is hungry for more information. Children and pets need more attention. After dark on Sunday Mercury runs into someone that fired up over something that might end up being a benefit to you for a one time only event.

Monday Feb 20 the Moon is in Aquarius. This is a Flow with the unexpected and check in with friends. See how they have been doing things lately which could give you a lead to what you need. Venus split parallel Vesta. There is a good money and investment tip but for a short time only or a one time event.

Report for Friday & Saturday Feb 17-18, 2012

2012-02-17T09:14:00.000-05:00

Friday Feb 17 with the Capricorn Moon sign appears unencumbered by planetary activity. However this is a Day of Caution. The Moon is forming positive aspects to Jupiter and Mercury to allow you to get in the door to the controller of the big bucks, Pluto. The outcome may not be satisfactory and can be extremely costly as the Moon's final aspect before leaving Capricorn will square retrograde Saturn. As astrologer's you may feel that this square that does not occur until Sunday 19 at 4:22 AM has nothing to do with the events on Friday however "buyer beware".

More for Friday Feb 17 and Saturday Feb 18 -The South Node of the Moon at 11° Gemini triggers a Solar Eclipse from June 1, 2011. This can bring a significant amount of energy to the surface directly related to events from period. While the Gemini influence has a broadcasting effect it engages our minds and can overload us with too much information. We can be drawn out into the community with more than usual running around. Our siblings and neighbors take our attention. But the big news event is huge perhaps about someone you know. Events such as the ocean liner disaster off the coast of Tuscany are typical of Gemini influences as it becomes a floating community or hotel. Something else with a grand effect on a large group of people may be indicated. Also a story once considered gossip may rise to authentic. Be cautious of being amidst a string of gossip as it could affect you standing in your community. Friday is a Day of Caution.

Sunday Feb 19. The Sun enters Pisces at 1:17 AM until March 20th. The Moon is void of course at 4:21 AM until 5:28 AM

The Moon enters Aquarius at 5:28 AM Sunday Feb 19- through Tuesday at 12:31 PM. During this Moon sign there is a Green Light Period right through until 11:17 AM Tuesday Feb 21. However there is a Dark Moon Period when your judgment is off due to a lack of the whole picture.

For the week of Feb 11 - 18, 2012

2012-02-11T16:23:00.005-05:00

The Last Quarter Moon on Tuesday Feb 14 points to the Solar Eclipse in November. Pay close attention the this week's events as they hold clues to the global, political and personal events not only in the fall but beginning as soon as August 14 and lasting until Feb 14 of next year (2013). Trace events that interest you personally or a study you have been following. The Nine Month Lunar Gestation Cycle Moon Family for this week's Last Quarter at 25° Scorpio has its roots in a New Moon that occurred on November 16, 2009 during this time events were seeded that relate to now and November 2012 events. Going back to August 16, 2010 there was a First Quarter Moon that showed signs of growth of an important matter. The Scorpio themes are deep and intense. Sometimes relating to death and for the most part include a dramatic deep change that can transform your life. You are not likely to look back and do things the old way and the shedding has begun. By the Full Moon on May 17, 2011 at 26° Scorpio the issues were clearly on the table. Now at this Last Quarter Moon at 25°Scorpio on Feb 14, 2012 it is time to reap the rewards of your efforts. Making this a time to get paid or pay off a debt.
_______________________________________________
Saturday Feb 11 is a Green Light Day for a Libra Moon that must tend to serious business about your partnerships or personal relationships. With Saturn at the end of Libra holding an ever important check list that must be completed and honored. This might be the day that defines the next structural step for you to move forward in either joining in a long-term commitment or severing an existing one. There are several aspects on Saturday: Jupiter split parallel to Neptune includes a form of release which moves energy via spiritual promise. There is a rescue or recovery which is vital to the growth of a major establishment. Venus and Pallas also have a hand in the day. People that have been together for a long time may feel they are ready to move to the next level in there relationship. Venus and Jupiter have some fun planned midday. Venus and Chiron intuitively knows this connect has the potential to heal. Mars and Vesta hunt for a good investment which may include housing. This is a positive day for house hunting. The Libra Moon sign is positive for house hunting if you don't mind the house with a funace issue (MarsRx- Saturn Rx.
____________________________________________________________________________
Sunday Feb 12. Green Light until 4:09 PM. The Moon is in Moon most of the day. Your intuition is peaked when Pallas moves into Pisces at 12:04 AM until May 20th. Your strategies seem to have divine blessings. You can access information your felt was lost and uncover the outline for a much broader view. The threads of your goals come together to weave a beautiful tapestry. At 4:09 PM the Libra Moon will conjunct Saturn, the head figure or the ruling which governs matters. Father issues and family heads come to the foreground. Any executive family or business matter is solidly addressed with this influence. The outcome is positive in the long run although there are complications. Complications are linked to the retrograde motion of both Mars and Saturn.

Sunday Feb 12. At 5:01 PM the Moon enters Scorpio until Tuesday evening. This is not a good period to commit to anything unless it involves dropping something or letting go of a fund or offer as Mercury is holding the bag of information and documents of which he might lose the goods when he leaves the sign on Monday evening. IF you make an offer or proposal be prepared to be turned down. What you gain by this might be exposure and name recognition.
At 8:22 PM the Sun and Pluto connect with a tense 45^ angle. Be very careful about overdrafts or missed payments.

____________________________________________________________________________
Monday Feb 13. Scorpio Moon is intense. Take a seasoned pro with you for anything that brings you before a board or any type of court. You do have a signal from a guardian angel (Neptune conjunct Pallas 1:39 AM) that all will work out in the end if you are on the hot seat. The Sun and Mercury make and important announcement about an important program that might be dropped or its voice will change. Such as a press secretary or other reporting voices. Mercury and Saturn trine before Mercury leaves Aquarius. This offers the acknowledgement for those that have been the solid force in the developing stages of organizations.

____________________________________________________________________________
Monday Feb 13 Mercury enters Pisces. You may feel your memory needs support but your prayer line is plugged into the source. Mercury is in Pisces until March 2. Your day takes a turn after this point when you get the message about your lost documents or your mind.

____________________________________________________________________________
Tuesday Feb 14 is split between the intense and sexy thoughts for Valentines Day and the adventurous sign of Sagittarius which brings a cultural theme for the evening activities on Valentines' day. Mostly its intensity on this day as the Scorpio Last Quarter Moon dominates your attention to something demanding your attention to matters that are extreme. Perhaps someone important experiences a final transition. This may not always mean death as it could mean bankruptcy or failure of a life changing subject. You could however receive a check or settlement of an estate.

Tuesday Feb 14 at 7:56 PM the Moon enters Sagittarius until Friday at 12:03 AM. The Sag Moon brings us a couple of Green Light Days to move forward for a good outcome. If you are writing or publishing this may be a good Moon sign to go back to older contacts for your new work. If you are planning a trip or taking a trip these days are excellent. There is a lucky charm at the end of the sign a midnight Friday when the Sun and Jupiter bring the winning combination to you for expand your horizons.
Have fun Valentine's Day night with a concert or play. There is room for laughter and love.

____________________________________________________________________________
Wednesday Feb 15. Green Light Day for the Sagittarius Moon. There are many people to talk to and some things to fix as well. Get the best technician for you needs or learn about how you can do it yourself. Some things are better left to the pros but there are opportunities to get a good tip for alternative methods that could be less costly. There is hope for the hungry and for the needs of children when Venus and Ceres have two connections on Wed. The story may bring closure for some and hope for others. The contract to pull that toppled ocean liner out of the water might be an overly optimistic venture. People with huge resources may not want to back such a gigantic job. Venus and Pluto square off at 1:32 PM announcing how greed and jealousy toppled their ship. For investors it might be better after 2:00 PM on Wed. Mercury connects with a list of cosmic players: Uranus at 4:25 AM then Jupiter at 6:12 AM (Traveling anyone?) At 2:53 PM Mercury aligns with Neptune for a misty and mystical exchange. This may bring wet weather or whiteout conditions in some places. Mercury is not pleased with the partner’s demands at 7:03 PM. Mars and Jupiter pump up their aggression around 7:30 PM. This could inflame matters and be flammable as well. Remarks that are prejudice reach the airwaves. Venus and Ceres go to sleep with a full tummy and sense of comfort for many at 11:56 PM.

____________________________________________________________________________
Thursday Feb 16 brings another Green Light Day. Mercury is still busily going from here to there. First he brings a healing message from Chiron. This is an excellent time to find your particular healer. Mercury and Jupiter are on the move again with a positive 60^ aspect that brings and opportunity but you must take action and this is your day. This is excellent for writing, publishing and traveling. Sign up for a new course. This study could bring a good return of your money and effort.

____________________________________________________________________________
Friday Feb 17 shows difficulties with some business matters and is not suitable for long-term agreements. This is a day that may include activities for reorganizing your business or family needs which include basic structural needs. If you are looking to make arrangement to settle into a long-term care or company plan than your needs may not be met by what is offered. You either do not qualify or the requirements wipe out your funds. Later in the evening Mercury (the thinker) and Juno (the partner) align for some good ideas which include a new network list to be considered.

Saturn is now retrograde until June 25, 2012. Saturn 29 degrees Libra 30' appears relentless. A good way to handle Saturn's extreme energy is to choose a realistic plan and stick to it. Frustration runs high but if you get down to business you will succeed especially after Venus leaves Pisces on Wed morning.

Tuesday Feb 7. This is NOT a Green Light Day so hold back if you can. You might be answering to a higher authority with Saturn's strong presence. The Sun and Mercury join early morning and read the a serious message from Saturn's script. Saturn will turn retrograde at 9:03 AM and appears to travel backwards until June 25th. Secure your goals with alliances with groups and good friends. Use a solid outline map to guide your efforts through times of high emotional times.
The Full Moon in Leo Moon on Tuesday occurs at 4:53 PM. The closest planetary contact duing this Full Moon is Venus in an upset with Saturn. Venus rules our attachments, our love and money that must be reigned in by the limits imposed by Saturn's strict rules. If you love to work this is the time to embrace your work with heartfelt enthusiam but without great expectations simply keep plugging. If your love for another has conditions tied to it then you might be left out in the cold. Conditions improve greatly by Wednesday morning.

For Monday Feb 6 2012

2012-02-06T12:25:00.001-05:00

The Full Moon in Leo is exact Tuesday at 4:53 PM.

Expect some surprise Monday mornng while the Moon is still in Cancer and the Aquarius Sun receives a sharp edge from erratic Uranus. Part of how you view things is distracted by an unsettling event. It appears to be more manageable with the help of famly and friends. Talk about it.

At 8:23 AM Monday the Moon enters Leo and travels through that sign until Wednesday afternoon.
The Leo Moon is headed for quite a bit of drama as Saturn in Libra sits perfectly still at the 29° degree which is equal to the 11th hour. It’s the father, authority and it slams the breaks on any run away actions or ideas. It is serious. and will let all know what it means with the help of a brilliant Full Moon Messages are mixed whe Mercury and Urnaus reach an off-putting sharp edge (45 degrees) at 3:01 PM on Monday. Watch what you say and take care with opening files on your computer. Misfiled papers or late notices go unanswered. Keep the important stuff first on your to do list as complications arise that cause you to miss appointments later in the day.

We are already feeling tomorrow's full Moon. It appears that a loved person retires.(Venus 150 degrees to Saturn). Even if you feel compelled to buy something, hold off for an unexpected cost to arise that takes priority.

For Saturday and Sunday Feb 4 and 5. The Cancer Moon is in its home sign where it is well prepared and protected as it heads into a tough square with Saturn, the boss. This will be the energy dominating the Super Bowl as the exact square is not complete until Monday morning at 7:50 AM then the Moon will travel void n its course until 8:23 AM. As for the game the Moon is supported by a fine opportunity aspect 60^ to Mars, the warrior and gets its messages from the signals sent out by Mercury, the scout. The late evening is ruled by a fine aspect for celebration as Venus and Pallas leave a joyous lasting impression. New York is a Cancer city and Boston is a Virgo City.

Expect some surprise Monday morning while the Moon is still in Cancer the Aquarius Sun receives a sharp edge from erratic Uranus. Part of how you view things is distracted by an unsettling event. It appears to be manageable with the help of family and friends.

At 8:23 AM Monday the Moon enters Leo and travels through that sign until Wednesday afternoon.
The Leo Moon is headed for quite a bit of drama as Saturn in Libra sits perfectly still at the 29° degree which is equal to the 11th hour. It’s the father, authority and it slams the breaks on any run away actions or ideas. It is serious and will let all know what it means with the help of a brilliant Full Moon Messages are mixed when Mercury and Uranus reach an off-putting sharp edge (45^) at 3:01 PM on Monday. Watch what you say and take care with opening files on your computer. Misfiled papers or late notices go unanswered. Keep the important stuff first on your to do list as complications arise that cause you to miss appointments later in the day.

Tuesday Feb 7. The Sun and Mercury join early morning and read a serious message from Saturn's script. Saturn will turn retrograde at 9:03 AM and appears to travel backwards until June 25th. Secure your goals with alliances with groups and good friends. Use a solid outline map to guide your efforts through times of high emotional times.

The full in Leo Moon on Tuesday occurs at 4:53 PM. The closest planetary contact during this Full Moon is Venus in an upset with Saturn. Venus rules our attachments, our love and money that must be reigned in by the limits imposed by Saturn's strict rules. If you love to work this is the time to embrace your work with heartfelt enthusiasm but without great expectations. If your love has conditions tied to it then you are left out in the cold. Things will improve greatly by Wednesday morning.
Wed Feb 8. Venus is off to new adventures when at 1:00 AM Venus enters Aries. At this time you have a Green Light Day until 11:42 AM. For Venus She sets her sights on new objects. Saturn's demands may have been too much for her but she will answer to Saturn again at the end of June when they both stop to address long standing relationship issues. This could be between couples or countries. At 11:42 Am the Leo Moon is void of course until 12:32 PM.

Wed Feb 8 at 12:32 PM the Moon enters Virgo and continues in that sign until Friday afternoon. We have another Green Light Day from that point until just after midnight on Friday.
Wed Feb 8 has a lucky tone especially with friends and some may turn to lovers while Venus and Uranus align for a brief encounter. A one time event for investments could arise where you may quickly enter then leave market. A great find for shopping especially for the kitchen, household. Also this fairs well for a gifted mechanic or contractor.

Thurs Feb 9. A Green Light Day all day. Go for it especially with experts to fix your mechanical problems. Retrograde Mars is here in Virgo and showing its tricks with breakdowns and weak spots. Watch for "foot in mouth" either late night Wed or early Thurs when Mercury accidently sees something not intended for its eyes. It may stomp on the feelings of a friend or otherwise cause a problem. Venus and Uranus go back for a little more romance during this Virgo Moon. Yes, surprisingly the prudish Virgo loves sexual intrigue. Mercury and Ceres trip upon the trail of the needs of children. (Aspect is 45^ at 9:56 AM). Find a deal late in the day and surprise your love with some exciting pleasures while Venus and Uranus join in the hot sign of Aries at 9:30 PM. expect the unexpected. Perhaps you will find a valued lost object or even better, a lost love. Try something new.

Fri Feb 10 the Moon is void in its Virgo course at 12:11 AM when it joins with hot Mars supposedly cooling it jets while retrograde in Virgo. Mars' goals are not of the highest standards at this time. As someone who could help has one hand tied behind their back. The void Moon period ends at 2:54 PM when the
Moon enters Libra until 5:00 PM on Sunday Feb 12th.
Friday's Libra Moon will be lovely for Valentine's Day too. For Friday you have a Green Light with no major issues to trip you up. Negotiate an amicable outcome if you can.
Sat Feb 11 a Green Light too.

The Patriots have a Full Moon in their chart with the Sun in Pisces and the Moon in Virgo. Their Mars is 22 degrees of Aquarius. Like Brady, the Sun and Saturn are joined but in Pisces. Venus is 16 Pisces.

Radio report is delayed for January 28, 2012.

About the Radio Show, I am sorry to report that Victor Venskus was too ill with the flu to make it to the studio and the show was not covered by a substitute. I do intend to make a recording at some point over the weekend for posting.
As for this week ahead - very briefly we have many things to consider astrologically which will effect our routines.

For one we should be in the swing of the Mars retrograde energies. There are many levels working together or apart at the same time. Be aware of the deeper frustration is not only produced as a result of the intense Mars but the pending stationary Saturn plus Neptune about to change signs for the second time in a year. From now through June there will be one planet after another begging for center stage. Certainly we can expect plenty of extreme news events over this course of time.

For this week; we have a Green Light Period through Monday at 1:08 AM EST. There are plenty of obligations to abide by the things of which you agree but you should have various levels of success during the next 36 hours.
The next Green Light Period is not until Feb 3rd after Neptune enters Pisces at 2:03 PM Friday until 2:06 AM Saturday Feb 4th.

Here is a detailed list of the aspects for the week ahead.

TRANSITING NEPTUNE ENTERING PISCES until 2025.

They may be able to express their spirituality through visions and art. They may also be inspirational teachers, conscious of wholeness. On a global level water reaches its highest levels. Comodities ruled by Neptune.

Report for the week of January 21 - 28, 2012.

2012-01-23T09:15:00.002-05:00

The Sun is now in the sign of group awareness and friendship, Aquarius and travels through this sign until Feb 19. Until Feb 3rd Neptune is taking it last breaths of Aquarius air and creating a whirlwind of weather across the US. Also the illusive quality of Neptune inserts a limp washout effect in the background of most activities. The huge capsized ocean liner is a perfect example of people joined on this floating hotel which sadly plunges its guests (Aquarius) into the sea (Neptune). Our prayers are sent to those still lost. On the political front there is a comic display of those wishing to appear presidential. Neptune takes its dive into the waters of Pisces on Feb 3rd until the year of 2025. As for the tangled mess of Mars to be turning retrograde on Monday, at all times, at the New Moon. The serious voice of authority is the tone of Saturn who seems to be thumping his heavy gravel to regain order. If this period seem like a wait and see time for you then your thinking should be encouraged to make the best of all situations. Ask yourself if there is something you can do to ease current conditions. It will be too long a period to wait out the Mars retrograde and the message of cooperation and support to others is a strong one. The cleansing process begins with the New Moon in Aquarius on Monday on the same day when Mars begins its retrograde cycle. Mars tends to cleanse with fire and burn off excesses.

Capricorn Moon will square Saturn as its final event before leaving the sign on Sunday night at 9:53 PM. This Capricorn Moon must answer to Saturn via a 90°. Conducting business, government or family goals are more difficult. This is not a green light period instead manage with the intention of keeping up appearances and satisfying prior commitments. .

Saturday Jan 21. The Capricorn Moon is not suitable for conducting business although you might have obligations in regard to the company. The Sun brings a nice opportunity when 60° from Uranus. This aspect may bring the release of cutting edge methods as well as inventions and scientific strides. Legislatures may approve controversial studies. Radical thinking and rebelliousness may enlightenment or awaken a dormant seed. This brings a very high energy output that is willing to change stagnant and outworn conditions. Beware of electrical and strong currents that spark fires. Ingenious methods lift sagging situations. You might want to meet with a group of likeminded people to promote progress in the areas of your interest. Influencing Saturday night but not exact until Sunday morning is the Sun and Jupiter square. This is an aspect which brings its fill of political rhetoric. Egocentric noise expresses an over inflated opinion of one's self. Over-enthusiastic notions may need to be tempered with the current pulse of activity. On the other hand a once silent voice may assume confidence. A general overload may be experienced, especially with work. An abundance of high principals are voiced. Necessity takes one into a variety of corners where new information leads to open doors. Strong need to spread out and experience space and freedom. A day for photography and consider purchasing camera equipment - however wait for a better day to exchange money. Journalism and publishing.

¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬
Sunday Jan 22. The Capricorn Moon remains obliged to Saturn in a disgruntled seat. Perhaps there is good reason for the sour faces. There actions of some bring down effect the appearance of many in the same group. There are indications that large investments are not well researched. In such cases you will spend far too much and be tied to its boat load of expense for years on end. By midmorning we enter the dark of the Moon phase. Venus and Saturn align for the long haul. Those tied by obligation appear bonded. At 8:38 PM the Moon is 90^ from Saturn to start a void of course Moon period that will last until 9:52 PM. At 9:52 PM the Moon enters Aquarius until Wednesday morning.
¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬
Monday Jan 23. Mars turns retrograde at 7:53 PM until April 13, 2012. A New Moon in Aquarius occurs at 2° 41 and at 2:39 AM. This is a highly active New Moon chart with the Sun and Moon linked closely to Saturn, Uranus and Jupiter. These three planets represent three generations: Uranus the grandfather and co parent of the earth who fathered Saturn who was the father of Jupiter. This combination speaks to the epics of the ages. It may bring events that have nearly a biblical list of events seeded at this New Moon. There are many other players; the strongest being Mars in an easy 120^ aspect to Mercury the trickster.
Mercury sends messages to Mars and Jupiter appears to answer the call to rescue the contents of the floating real-estate Vesta. People seek a sign of relief but Mercury is scouting for better advice to handle a delicate situation. Mars is more likely to chop its way through a tight spot when it is officially retrograde at 7:53 PM. Conditions improve slightly and you have better vision in the evening of Jan 23. In general this is treacherous day for any venture. Navigation is compromised by poor vision and a lack of knowledge. People who hire others should be checked for motives. Efforts to do the right thing are pulled to the side by another’s agenda. Mechanical equipment is likely to fail. Do not purchase a thing on this day. You are in the dark of the Moon until Tuesday morning. As for Mars' agenda while in Virgo until July is to reclaim the lost workforce and begin a stringent cleaning process often by fire or caustic methods. We can expect events to be staged by workers. The cooperation of others is needed or there may be an uprising of the average person to those that hold all the wealth.

¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬
Tuesday Jan 24. The Aquarius Moon is appears to be organizing a mega plan for action. It is a Green Light Day to move forward with your goals. The Sun and Pluto are tightly bonded to find the big money but there are so many layers of obligation and requirements before collecting a dime. Uranus and Ceres are shaking a rattle for children and requiring the distribution of fair-play and food for basic survival. Use this day to push forward with an eye on options. What moves the fastest are the projects which require great detail. More simply, focus on cleaning up the small things and create order. Throw things out and create clean surfaces for a new workspace. Use this time also to improve your body. Eat well and enter gradually into a new physical regime.
¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬
Wednesday Jan 25. The Aquarius Moon is v/c at 3:33 AM until 4:11 AM Friday around 1:30 PM.
Wednesday after 4:11 AM. The Moon enters Pisces at 4:11 AM until Friday at 1:27 PM. No Go. Consider dropping something or use a wait and see principle. Avoid commitments until February 8th. As for this Pisces Moon sign period there might be some rough waves especially for the first half of Friday. It appears that Mercury while at the end of Capricorn is the culprit. It heads for the door leaving a mess of contracts, paperwork and mixed messages to be sorted out by someone else. This Moon sign period gets a no go low rating. Your interests are only slightly better served by the Aries Moon sign period which begins on Friday afternoon through very early Monday January 30th.
The Pisces Moon is heavily compromised by Mercury the trickster. As if retrograde Mars needs any help with its wacky backing up. For Wednesday there are a couple of aspects and one has a sad quality; Venus 135^ Saturn at 10:02 PM. There is a need to comfort others. People may come together out of necessity. With Jupiter and Ceres in a 30^ aspect some help is available for those needing assistance. Have all of your papers in order for any application that need to be filed.
¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬
Thursday Jan 26. There are no planetary aspects for the Pisces Moon today. This is not a good day to forward your goals unless you wish to drop something. You could use this day to quit a bad habit but choose a different day to begin a new exercise program. Ongoing projects with no changes are best. People might be whinny and self absorbed for good reason. Friday Jan 27. The Pisces Moon brings several Mercury events; Mercury square Saturn at 4:19 AM; Mercury 60^ Juno at 5:50 AM; Mercury 30^ Neptune 9:21 AM; finally Mercury leaves serious minded Capricorn for to join with likeminded friends in Aquarius at 1:11 PM. First of all the Mercury- Saturn square cranks up the worry meter and often brings tough news. You may be over thinking the day ahead. It does improve and the landscape may change in your favor. A compassionate companion has very good suggestions that help your day to run more smoothly. By 9:30 in the morning you might gain some direction but go ahead with the knowledge that your plans are likely to change when more is revealed midday. Keep track of your schedule and travel papers & plans. Delays are likely and some connections may be canceled altogether.
¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬

Friday after 1:27 PM. The entirety of the Aries Moon is influenced by a 60^ sextile to Neptune at end of sign. This good influence gives this a Green Light Day. This is a good day if you have a vision with strong ethics. Tending to obligations and responsibility is key to success and all is not a sure bet as much depends on the judgment call from higher authorities. Whereas Saturn resides in the opposite sign of Libra, the Aries Moon must slow down for roadblocks. The final aspect to Neptune is only moments later which invite the vision for clearer motives.
Friday's summary for this Mars ruled Moon sign shares its piece with Venus. Venus is actively joined with Ceres in a long-term project that will benefit others. Perhaps some will want to open a restaurant and others will want to indulge some with comfort services. Aries is the sign of the entrapainur and Mars while in Virgo offers services. There is money available for one time only. Saturday Jan 28. The Moon is in Aries. Venus and Vesta are joined at 17° Pisces. There is something which sooths the investors taste. The Sun addresses Mars for the first time since it turned retrograde January 23rd. The noise can be associated with an attempt to celebrate however there could be a mishap that turns the attention to a cleanup. Venus and Jupiter at 45^ chuckle behind the scenes. Neptune in Aquarius and Juno at the final degree of Scorpio are perfectly squared off. This dissolves the marriage and leaves one of the partners with a very small or disappearing purse. Soon they will both move on for greener pastures. At 1:25 PM Mercury finds plenty to chat about; new discoveries and ingenious methods for growth. Mars and Ceres align which burns off a previous promise note. The Sun heads out to scout for new funding when 30^ past Pluto. Mercury (quick) and Vesta (investment, the stove or hearth) send a message that should be heeded immediately in the later evening hours. Mercury and Jupiter square off at 11:07 PM increasing gossip about the losses. Check you facts before moving forward but do respond quickly where necessary. Your partner's contribution as you know will soon end. You will have a fresh breath into a stagnant pool of contenders however they may lack the commitment you need.

The Green Light Days do not occur until next weekend - January 14, 15 and until 10:29 AM on the 16th.

The Sun is in the hard working sign of Capricorn. This is the sign of the head of family, corporate and government heads. Pluto is traveling through Capricorn. Mercury will arrive in this sign Sunday Jan 8. A Full Moon that is related to a solar eclipse past, July 11, 2010, will occur in the opposite sign of Cancer on Monday at 2:30 AM. The time around April 11 2011 holds a significant link to the matters at hand and will October 8 2012. This week is strongly geared to complete and deliver the end product however the judges may not approve; sending you back to the drawing table. This is the effect of Saturn at the end of Libra and the Cancer Moon will square to it before leaving the sign of Cancer. Beyond the Full Moon energy there is a powerful link between Mercury and Mars through the end of April which brings the energy of an extended Mercury retrograde period. However that is not the case. For these reasons, the frustration meter is bouncing in the red zone. Mercury will not turn retrograde until March 12, 2012. Mars, however will turn retrograde on January 23 until April 13, 2012. Now is the time to fix mechanical problems. You may be shopping for a new vehicle.
________________________________________________
Moon Family for this week’s Full Moon follows:

11-Jul-2010 -19°Cancer 24'
11-Apr-2011- 21°Cancer 16'
9-Jan-2012- 18°Cancer 26'
8-Oct-2012 -15°Cancer 26'

A full description of these important Moon Families is the topic of my book “Lunar Shadows III, the Predictive Power of Moon Phases and Eclipses”.

In brief, follow a story line along the dates. You may notice that something strongly significant began in July of 2010 that developed and showed significant spurts of growth around April 11, 2011. Now at the Full Moon stage - 18 months later, you can see the full picture. You know what you want to do and look for the important players to make it happen.

____________________________________________________________________________
Saturday Jan 7. The Moon continues in Gemini and will oppose Mercury at 2:51 PM. Your plans are cut off before you can take your next step. Perhaps your documents are missing or not in order for you to proceed. It may mean you don't have your sales slip or proper id. A couple of aspects influence the day beginning with Venus in Aquarius and Mars in Virgo. Your friendships don't feel as it they are as supportive as you like or perhaps they are too demanding at this time. People in pairs do not seem to get past the friendship stage for now. A nice 60^ between Mercury and Saturn allow you to bridge a long standing gap but you must take action. Those things you become aware of today might need to wait a bit before reaching out. Respond however avoid commitment. Mercury is also 60^ to Neptune. This is brings about romantic notions and a strong imagination. Write your ideas down as you will not have the Gemini Moon and this Mercury energy until February 1st. which will be a powerful day Moon period. (Neptune will re-enter Pisces on Feb 3rd.) Continue to compile you ideals until it feels right to submit them.

____________________________________________________________________________

continued on Saturday Jan 7. The Moon enters Cancer Saturday at 4:05PM, Jan 7 until late Monday night (1/9). The Cancer Moon has its problems especially in regard to family matters as your plans might be interrupted for the needs of others. Something you try to do might be too heavy and complicated for advancement. The answer you get for your request is likely to be "no". Something is dropped and it is too late to retrieve a lost opportunity.
____________________________________________________________________________
Sunday Jan 8. The Moon is in Cancer where the final aspect is square to Saturn bringing a tangled mess to emotional issues that may include decisions regarding family members and the home.
Mercury dominates the day when it changes signs at 1:34 AM Sunday morning. It leaves something behind or someone drops out for financial reasons. While Mercury travels through Capricorn until January 27, 2012 it will be directing our thoughts toward money and business. The practical and methodical logic seeks credibility and validation. This does not allow much leeway for sentiment and frivolous notions. You will be asking questions regarding performance, efficiency and cost effectiveness? Quality not quantity is the rule. Communications are less social and geared to getting down to business.
On a personal level you can pride yourself on asking good questions and making wise choices.
Mercury is trine Jupiter on Sunday at 1:04 PM - a very positive aspect that is compromised by a sharp square to Uranus at 6:24 PM. Suddenly your plans change and your information is reversed or you must retract your statements.
If you plan on taking a trip you may have good luck on one level but expect surprises later. This aspect can bring a positive message and supports the messenger. There is room for explanations and an ear for the real story. Expect exaggeration. For personal matters the information you need to make sound decisions may be on the way but something pop up to change the landscape.
In business you may better use this by organizing the facts and data for a wealth of uses later.

____________________________________________________________________________
Monday Jan 9. Do not commit and take caution moving forward. Scrutinize every move. The Cancer Moon is swells to an important full Moon position at 2:30 AM at 18° Cancer 25'.

This lunation belongs to a Solar Eclipse so the matters are a long time coming and will close a chapter in the family, business or government. Looking back to the summer of 2010 you may see where a seed was planted that has developed as far as it will go at this point. As Saturn has the final word on matters it appears that a heavy foot of authority dominates the outcome. The Moon is void of course from 9:24 PM until 11:345 PM Monday when the Moon enters Leo for a few days.

____________________________________________________________________________
Tuesday Jan 10. The Leo Moon is also compromised with illusions of a sure slot in the show. Something you attempt is washed out or compromised by expense or lack of interest.

____________________________________________________________________________
Wednesday Jan 11. Leo Moon is cheering a very temporary win. Perhaps there is a dark horse that takes all somewhere down the road.
At 12:49 PM Wednesday, the Sun and Moon are 150° apart which causes upset. There is a need for an insurance adjuster or another type of episode investigator to estimate damages. You could be pulled off of your track because of unforeseen matters.

____________________________________________________________________________
Thursday Jan 12. The Leo Moon will oppose Neptune before moving into a brief void of course period at 3:22 AM. The void of course Moon will last until 4:44 AM.

Thursday Jan 12. 4:44 AM the Moon enters Virgo until Saturday Jan 14- 8:28 AM. Not a good day to seal the deal. Use caution when proceeding as Something or someone that you need to further your goals is the stepping stone only however that person is an excellent advisor if you have your act together with an articulate presentation. Avoid any high pressure it is not the time for the "dog and pony show". Think of the person more as a friendly consultant
The Sun is trine (120°) Mars at 11 46 PM. This allows something things to enjoy temporary momentum as Mars will retrograde on Jan 23rd for two and a half months. Deliberate actions can produce results. Higher levels of productivity are encouraged. A drive to make things happen is felt. Competitive energy can work in a harmonious way. Expect focus and productivity today. In a personal way make a plan to go for it in a big way. (However wait until the Libra Moon on Jan 14 to put your plans into action.) Sexual energy is could bring like minded people together. A moderate aggressive tone helps matters to move forward. In business it appears that green lights are flashing. For best results wait till Jan 14, 15 and 16, 2012. Prepare to move forward at a steady strong pace.

____________________________________________________________________________
Friday Jan 13. The Moon is in Virgo and there are several aspects to mention. 4:05 AM Venus is in a lovely trine with Saturn. This may be the only period when this pair gets along for next few months. Enjoy the harmony with existing conditions. A sense of loyalty and a sentiment for stability promotes time for harmony and economic balance. A time of sound and strongly conservative judgment. There can be progress with business agreements.
For personal use: Details are worked out to bring about greater harmony.
Can be used for in business: Strike a deal in a win-win situation that is designed to last over a long period of time. Investments requiring a quick return are likely to fail or not turn out to be quick in any way. Slow and steady is the way to go.
Mercury joins Pluto at 8:02 AM. Deep penetrating talks may help you to find your deepest inner voice. A powerful speech can be made. This aspect brings the art of manipulation and persuasion. There is talk of necessary changes and plans are drawn. Intrigue. Intricate plans with new or alternative routes. Sexual talks. Psychological issues. Exposure of hidden or remote characters. An awareness of obsessive thinking. At times obsessive thinking can be used in a positive way. Paperwork or details related to estates. The return or the emergence of information regarding a lost or sick animal. News about a missing child. This aspect is useful for a priority list that allows you to work on one thing until complete.
Saturn parallel Ceres at 8:06 AM.
Venus joins Neptune at 10:16 AM. This is so romantic and creative.
Romance and illusion are enhanced with vague boundaries regarding realistic values. Valuable items could be lost or misplaced. Charm and intoxicating moods camouflage a seduction or deception. Cosmetic camouflage, costume and expressions in art fair well. There is an insidious consequence for indulgences that you may or may not regret. There may be events at museums and theater. Jewelry and retail business for clothing, romance and art win big.
On a personal level, try to keep your eyes open for over trusting the magic of the moment. A personal inventory of your intrinsic value can enhance your sense of self worth.
In business you may beautify and enhance a presentation. Beware of buying anything or commitment without further investigation.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Saturday Jan 14. The Virgo Moon is void of course after Venus enters Pisces at 12:47 AM until the Moon enters Libra at 8:28 AM.
Venus will travel through Pisces until Feb 8. Venus rules the feminine principal and her attachments which may include love, money and material objects. She is also an indicator for legal counsel or therapeutic counseling. Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra but is exalted when in the sign of Pisces. This can heighten the Venusian principals sharing compassion, beauty, balance and color. Exquisite dance and design principals are easily expressed. Venus in Pisces may be more focused on sympathy and holds an empathic compassionate response. On the financial side of Venus, she may posses a liquid quality when handling money; spending is greater especially on cosmetic items. Socializing may be found in more private settings and by invitation only and possibly focused on a theme or for the benefit of an individual. Meeting new people can bring special sentimental and romantic relationships. For personal use: Be especially kind to yourself with beautiful music, dance, meditation, gentle yoga and caring friends. On a business note there could be a shift in the financial picture as we spend more money on oil.

Sat Jan 14. The Moon enters Libra at 8:28 AM. A few days of harmony. Begin a GREEN LIGHT Period through 10:29 AM on Monday Jan 16th.

Merry Christmas, Happy New Moon and a Jolly Direct Jupiter to all!

2011-12-25T12:02:00.001-05:00

Merry Christmas to all. Next Saturday I will be the guest on WZBC radio 90.3FM to review the astrological activity for 2012. The show begins with me at 9:30 AM until 11:00 AM EST. You will be able to give me a call on the show.
_________________________________________
Sat Dec 24, 2011. Moon entered Capricorn at 8:46 AM where it will travel until Monday at 12:14 PM. The Capricorn Moon disappears in the light of the Sun when joined for a New Moon at 2° Cap 34' and at 1:06 PM. The Capricorn Moon period holds a cautious welcome for Jupiter to turn direct at 5:07 PM on Christmas Day. Otherwise this Jupiter activity appears to be a wonderful Santa Claus.
__________________________________________-
Sunday Dec 25 2011. Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukah. The Capricorn Moon expands on its practical interest while inviting Jupiter back into the forward advancing direction. At 5:07 PM when Jupiter is officially direct (Rx since Aug 30 2011) it will begin a 29 day period when all planets are moving in direct motion. This could be a promising period if not for the slow drag of Mars in Virgo. This is an indictor of its future retrograde station on Jan 12, 2012. For now we enjoy a period of openness. Mercury and Venus agree with an optimistic long range statement while parallel throughout the day. The day rating is includes caution for business matters as your greatest benefactor changes his mind, position or perspective. Jupiter is trine to the New Moon and 30° ahead of Uranus which is also rather still in its motion since it turned direct on Dec 10th. There may be extreme expressions of freedom, truth and rebelliousness with the combination of Jupiter-Uranus energies.
__________________________________________-
Monday Dec 26 2011. (Caution Avoid agreements) A caution is given for decision making as the Moon continues in Capricorn and will square Saturn before floating aimlessly during its void of course period at 8:35 AM until 12:14 PM. The aspects of the day include a serious thinking aspect with minor consequences that might add an annoying chore in your day. This is the result of Mercury 45° Saturn at 8:02 AM. At 8:17 AM Venus appears to prompt Pluto for money. If your needs include a large loan this is not the day to ask. You may receive a consolation prize instead. Wait until after 12:14 PM Monday to ask for money.
__________________________________________-
Monday Dec 26 2011 the Moon in Aquarius after 12:14 PM (Green Light) is in fair shape as its final aspect is a variable split parallel to Mars after forming a conjunction to Neptune on Wednesday evening. I would choose these next couple of days to move forward. Friends play a significant role in your plans. Some friends may become over whelmed and temporarily part ways. Others may choose to hire a friend to help out with a task. Choose this afternoon to move forward after 12:17 PM.
__________________________________________-
Tuesday Dec 27, 2011. Green Light Day for the Aquarius Moon which has plenty of momentum with little planetary interaction to slow things down. Venus and Ceres are 45° apart as Venus attempt to consol a weeping mother. There is some encouragement in the area of aid for the care of small children.
__________________________________________-
Wednesday Dec 28, 2011. Green Light until 6:00PM. The Aquarius Moon is pushing to make things happen. It is a good day to move forward however, try to avoid getting lost in a single minded missing that benefits only yourself or a few. The broader the benefit the more successful you could be. There are a couple of Mercury (the connector) aspects on Wednesday. First to Pallas, wake up with a wise decision and consult your partner before going ahead with Sun 45° Juno. Then the commute could be congested so allow plenty of time with a Mercury 135° Jupiter. Here we find out what might be on Jupiter's agenda for the next year. Proceed with confidence all day until the v/c 6:00 PM until 6:45 PM.
__________________________________________-
Wednesday Dec 28 2011. The Moon enters Pisces at 6:45 PM until New Year's Eve day. There is much caution during the Pisces Moon sign as its final act will be in opposition to Mars on Friday morning. The indications might increase accidents and fires. Jobs may emerge out of need of man power or some could suffer layoffs for struggling companies.
__________________________________________-
Thursday Dec 29 2011. The Pisces Moon rallies around the needy and appears ready to serve others. The stage is set for the once a year conjunction of the Sun and Pluto.
This conjunction brings the exposure of people, places and things that hide in the dark. This is a deep dramatic aspect when the brilliant light of the Sun shines on the matters of Pluto's underground behavior. If you are looking for something belonging to Pluto's regime then this is the time you may turn over rocks and uncover a gold mine or recover those that have been missing. Striking oil, walking into a den of thieves or dancing with the devil can all be matters unearthed with this aspect. This aspect mixes with the powers that be. Such a conjunction invites you to take control in a major way. This aspect is prominent for insurance companies, fund raising, accounting matters, mortgages and loans. For some they will negotiate to bring in the money. On a personal level, take on a challenge you once thought was impossible and challenge your greatest fears.

Now For the week ahead -----

Mars is continues to heat things up on one level and the Venus square to Saturn is cooling things off. Mars seems to be lighting a match to the cosmic wick while it is square to the nodes of the Moon then makes a cosmic call to the Moon's important Last Quarter business with Saturday's 7:47 PM Last Quarter at 25° Virgo 43". This is a very important last quarter Moon. Take notes and observe the long legs of this Moon phase. Someone comes back from the past. Perhaps they want your special talents for their job. Maybe they just want a door back into your life.
You see Mars has its eye on that Virgo address where it is expected on January 23rd for its retrograde station. Also this week the Sun makes an important bridge building 60° sextile to Saturn then a lovely trine happy Jupiter. Also a quirky and surprising square to Uranus.
Here is the breakdown from day to day.
____________________________________________________________________________
Sat Dec 17. Moon in Virgo is headed for a lovely 120° trine to Venus in Capricorn at 9:28 PM before it leaves the sign but that is not the whole story behind what should be a good day to move forward with your endeavors. Venus is headed for a square to Saturn on Sunday which compromises the ability to harmonize with the (Moon) routine. I do believe that there are two more aspects the Moon will make which add to the complication of this day. After the Moon is technically finished its business it makes 2 minor aspects; 30° to Saturn at 10:37 PM followed by a 150° quincunx to Neptune at 12:38 AM on Sunday morning. These aspects complicate, distract and undermine matters along the way. My day rating of a Green Light is given with caution.
Saturday At 7:47 PM the Sun and Moon are at the Last Quarter at 25° Virgo 43'. With Mars heating up this particular spot with its intention to drive into the station and stop near that point on January 23rd 2012, we want to keep a close eye out for Mars like things to come back to you. These would be jobs, men, heavily labored tasks, clean-ups, all pets, more dogs, coyotes, wolves and other canines. There may be accidents, bites, cuts, surgeries, fires, loud noises, old arguments and more. The good part is that it may bring much needed jobs. Maintenance workers such as plumbers, electricians and carpenters are needed.

____________________________________________________________________________
Sun Dec 18. The Moon is v/c in Virgo until 3:06 AM when it enters Libra for a couple of days.

Libra likes to keep the peace and compromise any raw edges but this one is deeply in debt to Saturn. Libra's ruler is Venus which is 90° square to Saturn at 9:18 AM. It might be more painful and expensive then its worth. Often when Venus and Saturn are square there is a sad story involving a prominent woman. Venus rules money as well as partnership and compromise. Saturn would be like the hard cold facts. Britney Spears engagement comes to mind as she needs to get the permission of legal authorities to marry while she is still under restrictions from her earlier escapades. There could be a strong motivation with many locked channels to clear before reaching your goals. On the whole this Libra Moon is in rough shape due to a last stop of 90° square to Venus. This says, its too expense and so not worth it on many levels and that it can cause you problems throughout a long (Capricorn/Saturn) period of time. Very Long.

____________________________________________________________________________
Monday Libra Moon is difficult and expensive and reads like Sunday's rating. At 9:52 AM Venus and Neptune are 30° apart which is romantically convinced of success. However Venus is not in her right mind. At 11:24 AM the Sun is 60° to Saturn. This can be productive and bring a more realistic view of matters to the Sagittarius Sun. Look around for the materials needed to build your bridges for the future. But don't buy anything yet. Keep window shopping until Thursday Dec 22.

____________________________________________________________________________
Tuesday Dec 20. The Libra Mon is v/c at 4:48 AM until it enters Scorpio at 5:32 AM.
Tuesday Dec 20. This Scorpio Moon is confused by Neptune's hard angle from Aquarius. There are a few things that cause problems in this sign. Starting with both Venus and the Sun will change signs over the next couple days. This can indicate that the plan goes down the drain because the important players either do not cooperate or they lose interest and move on to something else. They may not buy into your project. At 1:26 PM Venus enters the more detached sign of Aquarius until Feb 11, 2012. Expect your love interest to want to include more friends into your relationship. Or be friends. At 3:46 PM the Sun and Neptune are in a nice opportunity aspect of 60°. This may also bring wet or white weather. This is a visionary aspect. Record your dreams. Later Venus is square Jupiter at 9:19 PM. This is over the top. If you are partying or shopping you may be tempted to go over board. Be aware of this if you attend a holiday party. Your friends could pull you into a situation that is more than you might choose for yourself. There is a strong sexual agenda for Tuesday. The first light of Hanukkah is Tuesday night.

____________________________________________________________________________
Wednesday Dec 21. The Scorpio Moon is not good for buying, signing or agreements. Wait until Thursday. For Wednesday at 2:56 AM Venus in Aquarius and Uranus in Aries are excited about something that may have started Tuesday night. Oh boy. There appears to be a romantic connection but you may have blinders on that will clear up later. This romance could suddenly end or lead to a sudden marriage. Mercury and Pluto parallel all day bringing the deeper words into this drama. For those that are dealing with business matters be cautious as this is a thick heavy soup that is brewing.

____________________________________________________________________________
Thursday Dec 22. The Sun breaks into the solstice point at 12:30 AM. This is a great night hour to join with a group to celebrate this important winter solstice. It will be just one year before the end of the Mayan Calendar. How we align with others at this time will be a source of support with its own deeper wisdom, if you can keep a candle burning the night of Wednesday to Thursday morning. I put my overnight candle in the bathtub just to be safe. The Moon is v/c at 4:48 AM until 7:02 AM.
Thursday Dec 22 the Moon enters Sagittarius at 7:02 AM beginning a very good couple of days. We have a jolly Sun trine Jupiter at 9:32 AM for the expansion of your needs but look out for the Sun square Uranus later that day at 5:13 PM. In between, at 3: 30 PM Venus and Mars are not cooperative in a 135° aspect. It is a sign of a squabble that can be worked out. But the sudden surprise of the Sun and Uranus harsh angle may toss things around before you can venture out. This makes Thursday evening the best time to sign, buy and agree.

____________________________________________________________________________
Friday Dec 23. The Sagittarius Moon is best in the morning although matters end well right through 6:35 AM on Saturday. You may find a great deal Friday. Even buying property is a good idea on this day. Any investment appears to be rewarding. The Moon is waning as it heads for the New Moon on Christmas Eve. This is the dark phase of the Moon where things are starting up under the surface. The dark Moon period covers from Friday around 4:00 PM through Christmas Day when Jupiter turns direct. Jupiter looks like a big fat Santa to me on that day. Enjoy al of your holidays.

____________________________________________________________________________
Saturday Dec 24. The Moon is in Sagittarius and void of course from 6:35AM until 8: 47 AM. There is a Green light until 6:35 AM however I include the entire Sagittarius sign for that green light.
At 8:47 AM the Moon enters Capricorn. This is not a good Moon sign to move forward as the final aspect of the Moon is square Saturn which is Capricorn’s ruler. So you don’t want to cause problems with the head of the family or your boss.

Total Eclipse of the Moon at 18 Gemini on Saturday Dec 10, 2011

2011-12-10T09:12:00.003-05:00

The Total Lunar Eclipse is upon us at this very moment where it is exact at 9:36 AM EST. It is visible in the US except the eastern part. The eclipse occurs at the Full Moon in Gemini 18° 11 Gemini. You might have connection to the times around June 10, 2002 when this eclipse is linked to a solar eclipse that seeded the current events. Look back further to a lunar eclipse of December 1992 at the same spot as today’s eclipse.

This eclipse is packed with extraordinary planetary alignments. The planet that owns the ingenious and inventive energies is Uranus which is standing perfectly still today after its direct station early this morning at 2:05 AM. This planet’s station point is dramatic in its own right at the very high profile degree of zero Aries. This indicates extreme action on a global platform. Anything quietly brewing reaches out to the general population and can spark a revolution. It is clear that in Russia with the instant Twitter feed that people are speaking and reacting with greater openness. Thousands are demonstration against the election poll results from last Sunday. In a country where people might have been mowed down in the past they are somewhat protected by the presence of the eyes of the world. Authorities have permitted up to 30,000 to attend the demonstration dubbed "For Fair Elections". This is a perfect example of the Uranus’ energy.

The pulse of the planet might be measured by intense hum surrounding this eclipse of extreme planetary arrangements. The red hot Mars influence, for instance, is positioned in a challenging square to this eclipse degree as it approaches its still point where it will retrograde on January 23rd 2012, thus, giving us a full portion of forward thrust from the Martian energies. It expresses a driving burst to move things. For now it is still moving forward and you can mark down the dates when Mars revisits this territory again March 2 - 5, 2012 and May 25- 31, 2012.
Mercury continues its retrograde path and is now passing over its message points from November 6, 2011. Its messages today may show further links to December 17th 2011.

The dwarf planet Ceres in Pisces also impacts our hearts while in a difficult square to the eclipse point and sadly in opposition to Mars. Mythological Jupiter in the past has come to the rescue of the grieving mother, Ceres, but now seems to have his hands tied behind his back while retrograde a zero Taurus. There is a promise he makes that may be delivered on Christmas Day when he turns direct.

Venus appears to bring comfort to Ceres while building bridges and opening doors for 60° away in Capricorn. Currently our sister planet is out of the corral and is scheduled to return next Saturday December 17th. For those of you who find love only when Venus is out of bounds there may be an important introduction given by this lunar eclipse event.

Betelgeuse is the beta star at 21° Gemini, that is most closely aligned with this eclipse. It is the second brightest star in the constellation Orion. It indicates “Success through the Shadow. Therefore its success comes through a journey which deals with the more difficult features of the psyche.

Good Morning. We have an exciting week this week. That’s because there is a lunar eclipse on the way. I find that people really respond to lunar eclipses more than solar eclipses. Of course this past Thanksgiving weekend there was a solar eclipse and Mercury turned retrograde on Thanksgiving Day, possibly creating a highly active eclipse period. As for the Mercury retrograde our communication are off and our sense of direction is being challenged. This is a time when people are amidst some of the biggest change of their lives. Such as changing a job or trying to finish up on selling a house or buying a house or moving into an apartment. Perhaps you are making changes about your parents, your elderly parents, what is the best way to care for them and where is the best place? What’s the best situation? Things may not be coming together as quickly as you need them to. But the good news is that if they don’t conclude during this Mercury retrograde period that’s a good thing. So if you don’t settle on the final papers for the house or whatever until Mercury turns direct on December 13th then that’s a good thing. This is the way it goes. Things go on behind the scene that you are not able to control. You can’t force people to move faster because you want an answer or because you want to have a conclusion on your schedule. It’s on someone else’s schedule or a lot of other changes, a lot of other factors determine the timing.
Another big event this week is that retrograde Uranus will turn direct and that is next Saturday, Dec 10, the same day that of the lunar eclipse. So that lunar eclipse day on the 10thof December is going to be a day of extremes and high impact, high energy, Lots of things pushing up from under and popping out like a Jack-in-the-box. It is a very dangerous week travel wise: Just even normal things backing out of your driveway for instance. Make sure everything is clear, everyone is clear. Beyond chaotic movement we might learn where the truth finds it way to the surface. So there is an exploring and inventive nature along with this eclipse. There is also an optimistic quality with a change for the good on the way. So not all of it is chaos but it might feel like chaos this week.

There is a shortage. Normally an oak tree produces 250 pounds of acorns. They are now producing around 2 pounds. That means that the ground squirrels, mice, birds that nest on the ground – all going to have a shortage of their food supply. That is probably going to bring a lot of mice indoors. They also aid there would be an increase of Lyme disease because the mice carry the ticks. You want to take special care. Also Ceres is the mother of the food cycles on the planet. She is the ruler of food supplies, high or low. This shortage shows up in the chart of the eclipse taking place next Saturday. But we are under the influence of that eclipse all week long. You don’t have to wait for that period.
There is a very important alignment that the Sun makes to nodes of the Moon and the Sun is hovering around that area now: Very large broad type of experiences. So it is intense right now because we are in the field of several eclipse patterns. One of which doesn’t come up until next June. So the things that you are doing now have a far reaching arm into next June. Then also the things about this week regarding this lunar eclipse go back to June of 2002. You may find that the things that started then are reaching a conclusion during this time or are making a pivotal change that is important to the future of your efforts. Then also you look back a year and a half ago. I was reading in the New York Times about how a year and a half ago the acorns from the oak trees began started and because of the extreme wet weather the acorns were not able to form as much as they normally do.
¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬___________________________________________________________________________________
Saturday Dec 3. The Libra Moon is void of course. This long void of course Moon period that began Friday, yesterday at 6:06 pm continuing right through until 8:51 pm today. However, there is a stop that the Moon makes when it forces a contact to Saturn at 12:48 pm today. After that 5:26 pm the Moon is making an aspect to Neptune. Neither one is considered major aspects. However, I find that these contacts of 150 degrees and then 30 degrees are very valid: Very important aspects that could define the nature of the day. With this Pisces Moon where things are hidden behind the scenes. You need to help someone. Look in on older people or those that are not feeling well. Give someone a hand if you can. Also matters about music, theatre, plans that you want to make for entertainment might be a little bit hard to pin down. But this evening things are better. The Moon is done with its void of course period at 8:51 pm. It enters the sign of Aries for a couple of days.
The Aries Moon brings a couple of Green Light days beginning at 8:51 pm tonight, Dec 3, right though until 6:12 am on Tuesday Dec 6. That’s a good stretch to be able to agree to things, sign things. Keep in mind that Mercury is retrograde. You need wiggle room, you need to be able to rewrite or reconsider, revisit the final selection later. You may want to make a temporary stand for your decisions during that time.
_____________________________________________________________________________
Sunday Dec 4. The Moon is in Aries.
The Sun is exactly conjunct Mercury Sunday at 3:52 am. Now Mercury is the culprit of the retrograde period. The Sun reaching Mercury says we are half way through the retrograde period. There is also a very important message or statement either coming from within yourself or coming to you. You could hear tonight for instance or sometime early tomorrow. The conjunction takes place in the sign of Sagittarius. So it is the sign of broadening your awareness. Expanding your awareness, and broadening your perspective. Further in the day 6:19 pm Mercury and Mars are square. This is a time when your children are trying to get your attention. They are angry, they want their way. Also your animals are demanding your attention. They need something extra. Don’t let animals out during this weekend or pretty much for the next week I would say. There are a lot of dangers to animals that are going to be hit by cars. Its Mercury Mars is exact 6:19 pm. It’s argumentative too. Don’t walk into a battle. The Moon is in Aries it’s a trap. Try to be an observer. Step back let everybody cool off before you come back into the story. The other good thing about that kind of aspect you might get a lot done. You might be able to write a lot and communicate a lot of things that have been sitting and waiting. However, polish things up later because a Mercury- Mars aspect is famous for “foot in mouth”. But we are likely to hear about it in the news as well.
_______________________________________________________________________
Monday Dec 5. On Monday at 10:06 AM Venus and Mars are trine. Mars is in the sign of Virgo. Venus is in the sign of Capricorn. Mars is that direct male energy and Venus is that feminine energy. So I always see it as if as it has a positive quality for relationships. Perhaps people are pairing in a way that they cooperate with one another in a harmonious fashion. Beyond that at 1:05 Am Monday, Mars is making a difficult aspect to Saturn. Saying that there is much work at the bottom of the issues. Perhaps this points to more jobs. This can create tensions while trying to make things right. Also that energy stops the forward flow but may simply interrupt the easy stream of energy. But that aspect does pass earlier in the day on Monday before the Venus trine Mars occurs at 10:08 am on Monday. We still have that Aries Moon so it is a good Moon sign all in all for forwarding your goals. Things are likely to move very quickly.
________________________________________________________________________Tuesday Dec 6. The Aries Moon will change to Taurus at 9:34 AM. On Tuesday the Sun aligns with the North Node of the Moon. So things are likely to feel wide open. doors are wide open and things happen. News making things happen. Try to make contact if you can with others in the field of your goals, although the better day to do that, to reach out would be Monday. So for Tuesday we have a void of course Moon period 6:13 am on Tuesday morning until 9:34 am. The void of course Moon means that you’re judgment is faulty or things don’t work the way you planned. Or things come up unexpectedly and some things magically materialize in a very good way as well.
Difficulties arise with the Taurus Moon is filled with its problems because it reaches a square to Neptune before leaving the sign. This is not the best Moon sign. As a matter of fact it’s a time when you might be caught up in a cobweb of all sorts of drama. There are a couple of aspects that really speak to some kind of drama that’s going on involving the wife or the partner at the core center of projects: Thinking of various political people whose partners are in the dark and are being enlightened about certain things. Also the fact that Juno, she is the wife of Jupiter she is indicated with a contact from the Sun Tuesday night. She fights for the underdog. There may be a battle to keep things fair and just for those who are not able to fight for themselves.
________________________________________________________________________ For Wednesday December 7th we still have a Taurus Moon. It may prove to bring difficulties to the end results of your projects. We might be hungrier than normal. The Moon is making a contact of a 150 degrees to the Sun at 4:45 pm. this is what I call life’s messy clean it up. There will be an event that stops your activities for you to clean up something that occurs on Wednesday that is related to the deadline pressure that you are going to be feeling that accompanies the lunar eclipse on next Saturday. So you’re going to feel like you’ve got to get everything together. There is a little bit of a blind spot at 2:08 AM on Wednesday morning when Venus and Neptune are in a 45 degree angle. This may make you stay up a little too late Tuesday night, sleep too late on Wednesday, you miss your appointment, you are going to have to explain yourself. So try to avoid that late stay up Tuesday night because Wednesday you need to be sharp. There is a commitment that is on the table with Mercury and Pluto in a parallel aspect. This is at 5:51 PM, although it governs the activities for all of Wednesday. Mercury Pluto is about digging very deeply into the private matters of someone who sits in the seat of power.
_______________________________________________________________________
Thursday Dec 8. the Taurus Moon changes to Gemini at 9:52 PM. The Sun and Jupiter form a 135 degree aspect. Venus is reaching out to Juno. So Venus and Juno, two very feminine characters, are setting the stage for something important. An important statement to be made from someone who sits in the seat of power or did sit in a seat of power, now being forced to make changes. Also Regulus the star, the heart of the lion, has now changed signs from Leo to Virgo putting the power back in the hands of the people. So this is probably why there is so much rebellion taking place across the planet, So much great change is going on at this time. So that is also activated during this eclipse season. The Moon enters the sign of Gemini. That will be on Thursday at 9:52 PM ending a void of course Moon period. That void of course Moon period on Thursday it’s from 6:39 pm until 9:52 PM then we have a sort of hold back energy. Don’t move. Hold your breath. I’m joking of course but try not to commit to anything because Uranus is changing direction and turning around. Uranus rules things like a very sudden action. This is a sudden action. This is in rebellious mode where people are joining, like the occupy movement. There is the quality of releasing a truth or pushing forward with an agenda. There are sudden abrupt things that occur Friday night and also for Saturday morning. You want to plan ahead for a lunar eclipse next Saturday at 9:36 am. So it is an intense week. Take a lot of care in travel. Also take care of your health as well: matters with the lungs in particular, the hands, And anything to do with the voice. Although that is a Venus thing. But the ability to get your message out there with this lunar eclipse. There are a lot of big stories that should be come out during this week. So that is it for the week.

Good Morning Saturday November 26 listeners.
There was a solar eclipse in Sagittarius Friday, Nov 25 at 1:09 AM EST. You may feel as if you have come to a better understanding of the things around you. The influence from Sagittarius is very powerful now and opens the mind and broadens ones ability to grasp the meaning of the important things. Know that the major events that are seeded during this time will reemerge in a sharp way; turn a corner; or reach an outer platform in August.
August 2nd is related to the things that are going on now. So if you, for instance, have things that are settled or need to be settled, the next major stage you may get a temporary bailout for something in some way that you need to revisit once again in August. Or what you are doing has a stage in August but there will be an event related to those things that are going on now. The reason being is that the Nodes of the Moon will line up with this same zodiacal point where the eclipse took place. Beyond the Sagittarius eclipse there is another eclipse coming up on December 10th – that’s two weeks from today which will be a lunar eclipse at 18° Gemini. This will be an extremely exciting one because it also includes the stationary visit of Uranus at zero degrees of Aries. The events during that time are likely to be huge to the point where the whole world will be talking. There are plenty of stories now that have reached a global platform as the world has become a much smaller place. Anything that goes on even if your kids and dogs have taken a bag of flour and shaken it all over your house everyone on the planet will know about it. So we hope that there are good stories to go along with these things.
___________________________________________________________________________________
For Saturday Nov 26, there is a Sagittarius Moon that began on Thanksgiving evening which runs right until 10:04 pm tonight at which time the Moon enters Capricorn. While the Moon remains in Sagittarius, Venus changed signs today and entered Capricorn at 7:36 AM continues along in that sign until December 20th. When Venus is in Capricorn her interests are more about things that stand the test of time. So anything that has not been done right needs to be done again. This is also the case for the current Mercury retrograde period that continues until the 13th of December. There are a lot of things that need to be fixed and re-fixed. What happens is that during the period before the retrograde actually occurs there are a lot of mistakes that were made that are now coming up to the surface. You may discover many things that need your immediate attention over this next couple of weeks. While Mercury remains retrograde until the 13th of December. But for Venus in the sign of Capricorn, the very first thing she does is square Uranus. So this happens tonight at 9:27 pm. This could be a very interesting date night. It could be an interesting time with friends. However we don’t want it too interesting because Uranus can be upsetting. Uranus has a break away energy and when combined with Venus there are matters of the heart which are pulled away by a sudden abrupt change. Clashes of opinions turn into extreme differences and you may see your friend(s) very differently and in a sharp way. So you may need to give people a lot of leeway. It might be wiser not to visit with your closest best friend today. As far as your dear loved ones keep the subjects light.
Still for Nov. 26th at 7:05 pm there is a void of course Moon that begins while the Moon is in Sagittarius and its last aspect is a positive 60° sextile aspect Neptune. During this void of course Moon period when Venus and Uranus are square you may loose something of which later you may get back. So you want to hold on to your purse, be careful about purchasing anything. You could spend your last dime on something and suffer regrets later. Any suddenly developed love affair could leave you with a broken heart. You just want to keep your cool and keep it light for this evening.
Still for Saturday at 10:04 pm tonight the Moon enters Capricorn. That Capricorn Moon has only a few things going on. The Moon sign is weighted down by a final aspect to Saturn in Libra which is a 90° square. That aspect governs the Moon’s entire route through the sign of Capricorn whereas you experience a judgmental quality with Saturn standing there saying you have to get this past the “boss” before you can take it out into the world. This is a couple of days when you need to get down to business, work hard over the details before presenting them to the customer, to the boss, or to anyone that needs to see your project. Most likely you will be sent back to the drawing board so, don’t be discouraged. Fortunately Venus in Capricorn seeks the most economical way of doing things because people are not going to want to spend on things that are frivolous, but for those things that will stand the test of time. The problem with this Venus in Capricorn is that Saturn (the boss) disapproves with Venus’ selections. You may also notice those that are more concerned with status and proper appearances with this Venus in Capricorn.
On December 18, 2011 Venus will reach the 90° square to Saturn. It will be extremely difficult to gain approval if at all before this is completed. Venus rules women, love, money, and anything having to do with those things that we value the most. Saturn governs the father, the rules and the conservative view. The two planets are in each other’s sign so there might be a little forgiveness for shortcomings when all is said and done.
__________________________________________________________________________________
For Sunday November 27th. Capricorn Moon sign. This is not a good day to move forward. It’s a difficult day. Move through your activities with a scrutinizing eye of caution. Be careful about what types of things you agree to as your agreements could cost you money and a lot of work. However, there is this really nice 120° trine between Venus and Jupiter of which the Capricorn Moon will host. Venus is in her glory when she is trine Jupiter. Offering a table of abundance maybe people get together and feel well taken care of. Both of the planets are in stable signs. With Venus in Capricorn and Jupiter in the sign of Taurus they enjoy the finer things of life. This increases the likely hood of good company and pleasant surroundings. Possibly people that have a lot of money may feel generous and want to help you with your problems. However, these problems don’t settle during the Capricorn Moon, which continues through Monday.
________________________________________________________________________________
Monday November 28. There is an aspect between the Sun and Pluto at 1:36 pm. This is a meeting with those who you may want to borrow from could be the banker. But the problem is that the interest is far too expensive and could send you deeper into debt. So I wouldn’t sign the papers. Don’t sign anything with that Capricorn Moon as the signatures may not stick to their agreement. The void of course Moon begins Monday night 6:01 pm until early Tuesday morning at 2:01 am.
_________________________________________________________________________________
Tuesday November 29. After 2:01 AM we have a Green Light period for a couple of days. That Aquarius Moon allows for bonding with like minded people. You can also find someone to help you carve out a very good plan for progress. So you band together with groups of people or friends that leads you to those that are well connected or people that become good friends in your future as well. You also can find a good counselor. 12:40 pm the Sun is in a 60 degree aspect with Pallas Athena. Pallas is the smart one, the wise one, the one that knows the best way to do things and also has the best advice. Call your advisors on Tuesday.

______________________________________________________________________________
Wednesday November 30. Aquarius Moon sign. It is another Green Light day. There is only a minor complication at 2:34 PM, Mercury and Jupiter at a 135° angle could send you down the wrong street, possibly on a bit of a wild goose chase, but you will get back on track later. Other than that the Aquarius Moon has absolutely no aspects beyond that on that day. So all day Wednesday sign go forth, but those things that you sign are under the canopy of Mercury retrograde. So you want to leave an opening in some way to renegotiate things later. Otherwise, it is very good for moving forward especially over old ground. Anything that needs to be redone again that is what Mercury retrograde is about. Also for surfacing or resurfacing with a friend, people you haven’t spoken to in a long time may reconnect.
Thursday December 1. The Aquarius Green Light continues until the void of course Moon period from 6:26 AM until 9:45 AM. The Moon is conjunct Neptune at 6:26 AM. During the middle of the void Moon period, Venus and Pluto are conjunct at 8:50 am. This is a powerful aspect where people join with their heart in a very deep place. It’s also very sensual, its grabs a hold of things that are about money: perhaps love, perhaps jealousy. The topics are Capricorn, Which has to do with making things right, making a good business plan. Big business and government are the topics and the state of the economy. This is a truly strong money aspect. It may indicate that the money is on the way.

_________________________________________________________________________
For Thursday after 9:45 AM the Pisces Moon begins. The Pisces Moon has a brief period of lunar activity before the onset of a long void of course Moon period during that begins on Friday night through Saturday night. But for Thursdays Pisces Moon after 9:45 am there could be some magic that lifts you out of a tight spot. There is a lot of whimsical, magical kind of energy with the Moon making several positive aspects first to Jupiter, then to Pluto, then to Venus. It’s kind of live it up, be grateful for gains you are able to make on Thursday.

_____________________________________________________________________________
Friday December 2. Pisces Moon. There is a First Quarter Moon at 9 Pisces 51’ on Friday. The 1st Qtr is action oriented and occurs at 4:52 AM which means that something important may come together. There is plenty of fire under the pot with Mars igniting the flames. Mars is opposite the Moon and square the Sun. This is a T square that is also marking the up and coming Mars retrograde that occurs January 23rd Mars will turn retrograde, but this is relevant now because Mars has been traveling over its retrograde shadow zone since November 19 when it crossed over 3° Virgo. Mars reaches 23° of Virgo then to 3° of Virgo where it was last Saturday. So all of the things that are going on now are also subject to review and renew and repave – or anything that you are planning on plowing through during this time.
What else can I tell you about the Pisces Moon? It that it’s healing, it’s deep, it’s intense. There is also a helpful hand that is extended. There is a lot of nice company, reason for celebration on both Thursday and Friday. We also have haphazard energy with the Mars T square on Friday. You also want to boost your immune system because viruses can be spreading rapidly. There is also an indication that there could be a strike or series of incidences around the protestors or within groups that band together. They should be very clear about their message, stay on point. Not to allow the push from Mars to create a battle. Definitely there are likely to be many nose to nose events with a spark that could set the train in motion; a bang or a blowup. Mars is the engine; it’s the ignition that allows things to get going. If you are working alone that is the best thing to do. You will cover a lot of ground and you can accomplish a lot.
Also for the void of course Moon period that starts at 6:06 pm on Friday night, it occurs after the Moon is parallel Uranus - Meaning that there are sudden abrupt things that come together, possibly within a group or within friends that move in a positive way. That is the end of the Green Light period for the Pisces Moon – that’s from 9:45 AM Thursday until Friday at 6:60 PM. then we have a very long void of course Moon period which will last until Saturday night at 8:51 pm. That’s it for the week.
Happy Birthday to my son! Also to my friend Eileen in Walpole Happy Birthday! It is a very good day to move forward with what ever you want to do.

Weekly Astrology Report
Sat Nov 12 2011 – Sat Nov 19 2011 - audio report
Good Morning. Well, a lot of what I reported last week came out so vividly in the news. I am referring to the story of the dreadful sex scandal at Penn State University. Another was the story of how the Air Force disposed of servicemen’s bodies in what amounts to garbage piles. All those things, particularly about that scandal at Penn State U, come to mind the royal star Regulus. The royal star is changing signs from Leo to Virgo. It seems to be toppling the king of or the top of any unit, any country, any organization, and any major conglomerate of any sorts. The top, the head, the royal party that would be described as - is subject to topple. So this is more of the same. It’s really very good that this stuff has come out with that Ceres station that we had last Sunday. Ceres represents children and protecting children. So it was time. It certainly was time. But this week ahead we have the Moon traveling through the sign of Gemini, then Cancer, Leo, and finally Virgo all in this week. The Gemini Moon period began yesterday 11-11-11.
Here are a couple of quick thoughts about 11-11-11. I was inspired by a meditation and the number 6 emerged in a very strong way. Number 6 is associated with the planet Venus. I also came to understand the number 6 as two interlocked triangles: upper and lower; exactly as you see in the Star of David as a very powerful visual symbol. It focuses on harmony and balance. The energetic vibration has truly shifted since that day which is really interesting. It wasn’t just a number or series of numbers. It’s a long lasting effect that governs the up and coming energies as well. The 6 is also aligned with the zodiac sign of Virgo, Which brings to mind again this Royal Star of Persia, Regulus at the threshold of Virgo. I would appear that the workers will inherit the earth, which is really great. In mathematics 6 is the smallest perfect number. A cube has 6 sides. By adding the digits of 11-11-11 it equals 33. Break apart the 3s then add them together which equals 6.

So for today as we see the Gemini Moon, we have Mars now in the sign of Virgo at that very beginning degree and it triggers both Chiron and Uranus today. Both of these contacts are accident prone. The myth of Chiron is about horsing around with your buddies at a wedding and getting hurt. The injury that Chiron endured lasted a life time which was not able to be healed; a pain that earned him the title of the wounded healer. Chiron also escaped from his pain through a grand exit. He actually begged (he was immortal) and he begged to end his immortality. His wish was granted and he became the constellation of Sagittarius in the heavens as the half horse half man centaur. Any activity involving others can be hazardous in some way today. People buck with great resistance and it causes battles and fights. Later Mars is quincunx Uranus at 8:40 pm at zero degree of the sign of Aries where there is a great clash of wills. Other quality about it is friendship could be in jeopardy in some way. So you have to tread lightly. Give your friends a lot of leeway you know. Have a forgiving heart. Also expect to be surprised even by your own actions or words - especially your words because we have that Gemini. Don’t have a hot foot on the gas pedal either. Be aware of other’s feelings when you speak. Edit your words silently before you actually let them out. The dynamics are huge through out Saturday for exciting events. The Moon is aligned with the south node while opposing mercury in Venus at the north node. So mercury and Venus was the couple, the planets that prodded Pluto last week. That made people answer to, like Joe Paterno, answer to higher authorities. So when we have this day that could present us with a lot more headliners. you are able to work things out in the end even cut through or break through brick walls. So Mars wants to go to work, there is work to be found so look for it in what ever way you’ve been looking. Look again and you may find something today.
For Sunday the Gemini Moon is a good day. The days with a Gemini Moon are green light days. There are a couple of aspects that I note. Sun in Scorpio is 45 degrees away from Pluto. So there is more of that uncovering those uncomfortable subjects. Something financial is out of whack, something psychological is kind of out of whack as well, perhaps haunting. There could be a minor problem that requires some action. Like you have an over drawn bank account and you have to go down and straighten that out. It could mean you have a low immune system that opens you to infection. You need to be aware that some infections are very hard to control. Then there is a health aspect between the sun and the Moon 8:22 am on Sunday. They are quincunx, 150°. That’s "life’s messy clean it up". So something happens. You have to get up out of bed and deal with something or quiet something especially with the Gemini Moon. The aspect requires your attention. It could be a mishap or it could be the adjustor that you call in because of a mishap like the plumber, the electrician, the insurance adjustor. Also keep in mind it is a good day to move forward in general.
For Monday- not a good day. We have the changes for Monday occur at 2:18 am when we have the Moon entering Cancer. Before that however, a void of course Moon occurs from 10:42 pm Sunday night until 2:18 am Monday morning and then that Cancer Moon starts. During the Cancer Moon things are not as easy to work around. Mars and Neptune rear their ugly heads again in regard to perhaps that sex scandal or other shocking news. They join in a contra parallel which affects the entire day. There are no other major aspects for the day. There is an aspect between Uranus, the planet of sudden abrupt change, and wakening and awareness of the truth. The truth is as you see it. It aligns with palace Athena, which is the wise one, the one who plans the strategy. So it’s a great night on Monday night to seek a counselor of some sort. You get an advisor who has savvy information.
For Tuesday there are no major aspects, however Venus is square Ceres. Ceres is the dwarf planet that rules stories about children. Venus is the planet of money. She is in the sign of Sagittarius. She is trying to make things right. But she also sees things from a broader perspective and is rather restless. Wants to get on with these matters and deal with some of these things financially.
On Wednesday this void of course Moon period that starts at 12:22 am when the Moon is square Saturn and that is why the Cancer Moon is not a good Moon. Because that square to Saturn is very difficult to get past and this says there are tough problems that you cannot move easily and they have long lasting effects. It may have to do also with your parents. Or advising your parents and moving your parents around. For Wednesday we have a Leo Moon that occurs at 11:17 am. That Leo Moon has it’s complications as well. That’s because at the end of the sign it is opposite Neptune and then goes on to a split parallel to Saturn. The prominent features during the Leo Moon sign is Mars trine Jupiter that occurs at 5:07 pm this aspect has to do with fortifying and creating a stronger link between the things, your actions, maybe your bank account. Jupiter is in the sign of Taurus that’s why I say that. Also your plans for moving forward, especially where you need money and you need investors. That can give a very good aspect for the day. It is also blood building so you might feel stronger, vitalized. The sun and Saturn make an aspect at 5:44 pm and the sun is in Scorpio and Saturn is in the sign of Libra. This is an aspect where the sun is out scouting for new funds trying to find someone with old money or someone who has the key to the safe for the money that you want. Then mercury goes on to square Ceres at 9:15 pm on Wednesday. This aspect, be careful with your pets with that aspect. Don’t let them out. I often advise you about times when pets are most vulnerable. That’s a vulnerable time. But it’s also a time when children need to be listened to about their needs. They might be hungrier than normal in some way shape or form. So take special care with children.
Thursday November 17th there are no major aspects during this day. The Moon is in Leo. You might be tempted to jump into a drama of some sort. Someone is having a fight – stay out of it. Wait until the dust settles before you offer a hand. Offer your hand at a distance because there are long term consequences for getting involved.
There is a quarter Moon at 10:09 am on Friday. The quarter Moon takes place at 25 Scorpio. This is very important this last quarter Moon. It has a Moon family that occurred in the sign of Leo that began back August 20 2009. That was almost at 28 degrees of Leo. Then the 1st quarter Moon was right on Regulus May 20th of 2010 and then February 18th 2011 when there was a Full Moon right on Regulus as well. That royal star is really going to be highlight over this month and actually over the next year but particularly this month. The Moon passes over Regulus on Friday evening setting the stage for more very large stories. While the Moon is still in Leo, the sun and Pluto parallel. This means there is a joining of those who are in a place of power that want to make a plan that leads to something of great change. it’s because of Regulus’ position I’m not going to say that he Moon will be void of course during that time. But Friday November 18th we have a Moon sign change where the Moon enters Virgo. That begins a couple of very good days. So we can expect some wet weather with that one though. Because the sun will square Neptune next Sunday during that Virgo Moon which leads to a lot of moisture building up. The aspects for Friday are few. There is one between mercury and Vesta the investor. If you’re looking for a place to live, a new home, that’s the aspect that helps your find that 8:37 pm that aspect is exact. Or you may feel committed to writing something that your heart is involved with.
For next Saturday there are no major aspects. It’s rather free flowing and both Saturday and Sunday are very good. So that’s it for the week.

Report for Saturday Nov 5 - including Saturday Nov 12, 2011

2011-11-06T11:06:00.002-05:00

Distractions and confusing situations are ahead this week and things that are difficult to distinguish behind a smoke screen. Matter may range from interesting to curious with Neptune’s influence. Neptune is the God of the sea bringing plenty of water to the surface. Neptune, currently retrograde will station and turn direct Wednesday, however we are under its influence now and will remain so for the entire week.
A Full Moon is on the way for Thursday in the sign of Taurus at 18°. Our attention is strongly focused on financial matters and the Full Moon indicates full disclosure and the end of things that have to do with money and sharing with others, anything that you have shared responsibility with others or even stuff, shared stuff. Maybe you are sorting things out and dividing things up; for instance a yard sale, putting thing out trying to reclaim some money for your stuff. This is definitely a good week to do that. But there are also lots of serious matters with this. Mars will change signs on Thursday night and retrograde Chiron turns direct also on Thursday along with that intense Full Moon. So Thursday is a big day. Looking a bit closer on Sunday there is another big event with retrograde Ceres turning direct also. Ceres represents the grieving mother and she is the Goddess of the harvest. Mythologically speaking, she is the one who feeds the planet. As she turns direct there is likely to be an opening of food and grain to be shared throughout the world. And there is also that sense of releasing the goods that are being held back by those who have the most and sharing it with those who have the least. Ceres also represents babies and children and stories about children. Perhaps stories will be released about missing children as well.
Looking at the week day by day;
Saturday November 5th it’s perfect for reaching out to those that are shut in. If you want to work alone that’s great, but invite those who have a special talent to help you with the things that you need. Mercury and Venus want to play when they connect with Jupiter on Saturday, today. That can bring a fun evening in a spontaneous way. If you are sitting at home with nothing to do when you are invited to do something, don’t pass up the opportunity. There is a void of course Moon at 1:25 pm when the Moon aligns with Uranus today with spontaneous events as friends come in to bring you out of your hidden space. What you might expect during the void of course Moon period, which last until 2:02 pm on Sunday, is that there, is a lot more going on than meets the eye. I’m not really going to consider that entire period void of course. Although taking direct action to forward goals are not in the mix for what I am seeing during that void of course Moon period. It’s more about what comes to you. Enjoy the interesting and magical things that come your way. So be prepared to receive. You may also get the sense of an old nemesis raising its head or an old love returning. However that old love may not be any better this time than last. Perhaps if it has been a long, long time there are has been a lot of growth. So keep an open mind.
For Sunday Nov 6th the void of course period ends at 2:02 pm when the Moon enters Aries. There is a message about child safety and an on going tale about a child which is uncovered with Ceres turning direct at 6:40 am on Sunday. The Aries Moon is hoping for an easy win at the finish line with a nice trine to Mars as its final aspect. However, it encounters a thick soupy problem presented by Mars and Neptune which oppose one another Monday morning. Sunday may seem as though you are walking through a very muddy river that could take you down the river into a whole bunch of problems. Mercury and Venus are travelling very tight together. They align in Sagittarius and they both link to dark and powerful Pluto in the sign of Capricorn. That goes from 3:00 – 5:00 pm on Sunday. So Venus can act as a buffer and mercury can act as the interpreter as they speak to a problem specifically of Pluto’s behavior behind the scenes. So there is a question about ethics and tactics. This can make the Pluto type person very uncomfortable. Pluto represents a powerful person who is not at all up to this kind of scrutiny. It is however a fine afternoon for working alone especially if you want to spot hidden problems and correct them with a strong level of focus. There is also the possibility of finding the appropriate person to help you. Keep an open mind – there may be a trap ahead with that Mars opposite Neptune, which takes place at 7:33 am Monday morning which does have an influence on Sunday and Sunday night’s activities. It is like getting lost in a very bad area. You don’t want to move forward during this time but wait until that passes. What I mean by that is don’t sign; don’t agree; don’t buy or sell anything until a Green Light period. Of course this is only a suggestion of how I view these energies.
For Monday November 7th begin a Green Light after 7:33 AM. After moving through treacherous ground of Mars and Neptune opposition we may learn of those that strike out at others. The Israeli threat to Iran comes to mind. What is so important about this opposition is that it involves Regulus, the Royal Star, at the heart of the lion. This star is known as the Watcher of the North and is one of the great stars in the sky, which brings success to those on a high path but failure to those who seek revenge. This seems particularly important in these final days when Regulus continues in the sign of the lion, Leo. On November 28th this star will move into the sign of Virgo, which is the sign of the laborer. I believe it is giving voice and strength to the average individual as the “Occupy Wall Street” movement is calling for the needs of the average person to be met and trying to finances more fair. While the banks received a “ball out” the people lost their money. Now the people want the money back too. I think this is a signal of the ancient prophecy that “the meek will inherit the earth’. Further on for Mars opposite Neptune at the end of their respective signs Leo – Aquarius, makes this not a time to engage in anything that causes doubt or which could be described as misguided. Take the high road in all cases.
Monday evening the Moon is quincunx the Sun, that’s 150 degree angle I call “life’s messy, clean it up.” and the Sun is at a very high profile point during that quincunx at 15 degrees of Scorpio which could means that fires could break out, there could be a lot of problems that definitely need immediate attention which culminate at the Full Moon and wane by Sunday morning November 13th. There is the potential for chaos during this time of a waxing Moon. The Moon will be full on Thursday at 3:16 pm. The presenting problems will be pretty big this week.
For Tuesday November 8th, during that Aries Moon there is a cleaner path. It’s a Green Light day all day. At 2:39 pm the Sun and Uranus pop up with an interesting problem that needs your attention. It’s actually one that leads to an excellent consultant or practitioner, even if it is for one time only. And this may lead to someone else or others that really further your goals. This is a good day to look and listen for opportunities, take calls, make calls all day Tuesday during the Aries Moon - put your head forward and just go. The evening has a little worrisome type of energy with Venus and Mercury both linking to Saturn. It appears that Saturn is speaking to them in a strong tone saying get your act together. The Sun is trine Ceres which indicates room for a comfort zone. Someone may be announcing there is a baby on the way. Also food and resources open up.
For Wednesday November 9th there is a void of course Moon from 12:45 am until it enters Taurus at 2:45 am. The Taurus Moon is headed for full disclosure of a serious matter which may be financial. For some this could signal the end to a financial crisis. There could be a swift end to things that have kind of a sticky complicated nature to them. Because Neptune is stationary during that day there can be consequences. There is not a Green Light during the Taurus Moon because of a final aspect that is square to Neptune at the end of the sign. This indicates murky and hard to define but difficult problems. You may be hoodwinked in some way. Like when you think you are buying a designer bag but it’s a fake. You may think you are getting new parts in your car but they could be used parts. Note that what you share with others is very important to review. But the headline for Wednesday is that Neptune direct station at 1:53 pm which has been retrograde since June 3, 2011 when it was in Pisces so now it is closing out the unfinished business in the Aquarius sign. It speaks to friendship and joining with others with a similar voice and making conditions better for all. It is a time for bringing awareness to those that are privileged that fairness is necessary to move forward.
Thursday November 10th the Full Moon occurs at 3:16 pm and Chiron turns direct at 6:11 pm after which time Mars enters Virgo at 11:15 pm. This is a very accident prone day with injuries to the head, muscles and tendons. Our chronic problems are highlighted as we attribute this meaning to Chiron, the wounded healer. Older physical or psychological wounds are looming large on that day making this a good day to make appointments for chronic problem. You might find the best practitioner to heal these issues. Mars is moving from Leo to Virgo where it turns retrograde on January 23rd 2012 at 23° Virgo and turns direct on April 13, 2012 at 3° Virgo. No until July 3, 2012 will Mars leave the sign of Virgo. This will be a time to put people back in the work force.

On Friday November 11th. The Moon in Taurus is a void of course Moon period on Friday from 11:26 am until 3:09 pm. At which time it enters Gemini through early Monday morning. Gemini is the sign of your sister your brother, your neighborhood, the town crier and gossip. It is the sign of communication. During this Gemini Moon sign you there is positive energy with a Green Light.

Saturday November 12th We have a green light from 3:09 pm Friday Nov 11th right until 10:42 pm Sunday Nov 13th. However beware of a very hazardous aspect between Mars and Uranus at 8:40 PM. This aspect can bring spontaneous opportunities for work but health is in question. Blood pressure spikes and heart conditions are more common with this aspect as are strokes. This aspect can be expressed as "necessity is the mother of invention". High tech is at its height. Expect loud noises from blasts and outbreaks of fire. Outburst and rebellious behavior is most likely. Any highly charged issues could ignite without warning. High blood pressure and erratic physical vital statistics are likely. Physical pressures need to be released in a safe environment. Stretching is important before physical activities. For personal use: Blow off steam in a safely with harming others.
For business use: Funnel this energy into new methods for technology.
So enjoy the week. Watch and listen. Remain very watchful. Listen very closely for a reasonable opening to respond to what your goals need. And don’t step on other peoples toes - you may have to pay for it later. So it’s kind of a treacherous quality that functions best with the powers of persuasion. A lot of things are going to come out into the open and there may be major headliners all week long. Okay. That’s it for the week.

Report for October 29 - November 5, 2011

2011-10-30T13:39:00.001-04:00

Weekly Astrology Report
Sat Oct 31 2011 – Sat Nov 5 2011 - audio report
Good Morning! We have an exciting weekend ahead of us. How interesting at the end of October to have a major Nor’easter. The chart for this weekend shows Neptune at the end of the sign. Neptune rules things like this: big storms and white-outs and all sorts of heavy rain. So it’s not a total surprise astrologically. However, what I think is setting this off in particular storm off is the nodes of the Moon . The nodes of the Moon are not actual bodies in the sky but are intersection points- very important points, where the Moon crosses from north to south. Those points are where the eclipses take place and when these lunar nodes line up with an eclipse degree there are headliner events. The nodes are at 14° Sagittarius/Gemini and the eclipse related to this degree is not until next June. It doesn’t matter. All it has to do is set off that degree and you get major news. Also today, the Sagittarius Moon is crossing right over that north node. We can visualize this as swelling that takes place of all of this lunar energy and we invite everyone to this snowy party. To boost the effect we see that the Sun and Jupiter are opposite – that was on Friday 10/28, which pumps up the volume for the activities. Add to that Mars that is approaching an opposition to Neptune. Mars is the motivator keeps the engine going. Neptune is the one that is creating all of this white out stuff.
Another really interesting thing that is going on now. Mercury and Venus are travelling very closely together. They don’t actually make a technical conjunction. However, they act as if. So because they are so close what is happening Venus is moving faster than Mercury as Mercury slows down for its retrograde station November 24, 2011 at 20° Sagittarius.
With the Mercury-Venus alignment we may have a greater joining of minds. You may be compelled to make an important statement as you feel you have found “your voice” about something. I find this is a very important couple of planets to watch because these are the two planets that are truly insiders of the Earth and the Sun. These are our social connectors amplifying the way we think and feel on a very personal level. This is a time to bring this out into the open when these two planets join. You may notice how these things from deep inside and move out into a more public place. We are going to talk a little more about Venus and Mercury as they change signs this week.
For today we have a Sagittarius Moon, as I mentioned. It is a very good day for expanding beyond your every day circle. I rated this day with a green light to move forward with your decisions, your purchases, your greater goals. That’s because the final aspect of the Sagittarius Moon is in a bridge building aspect, and that’s a 60 degree aspect, to Neptune. Neptune rules this white weather. The aspect of the day is a positive parallel between Venus and Pluto. This creates a very good time for markets and sales. There are intense desires that are attached to what it is you want and need. Those things you also want to bring to the negotiation table – it’s a money day. Alliances are designed for financial gain. Also Venus and Pluto are very sexual, and sensual, and can show the jealous side, sexual stuff that could complicate matters. So it should make for a very interesting date night as well.
October 30th on Sunday, the day begins with that Sagittarius Moon that reaches Neptune at 9:30 am beginning a void of course Moon period. The void of course Moon period does end at 12:38 pm tomorrow. That’s when the Moon enters Capricorn.
The Capricorn Moon sign last until Tuesday at 6:07 PM. The Capricorn Moon sign for Sunday 10/30 is without planetary aspects which can give a smooth transition for your activities. There are drawbacks to a Capricorn Moon. It’s a money sign. But the Moon is not comfortable in this sign. It’s ruled by Saturn. The Moon is opposite its home ground of Cancer which is also a drawback. The good thing is that the last aspect that the Capricorn Moon sign will make is a very positive 60° sextile to Venus, indicating that things should end well. However Venus is also compromised because it is in the sign of Scorpio which is opposite her home ground of Taurus as well. So this may cause some dissatisfaction and you may be forced to take a concession prize. So if you are out fishing you may not catch that big fish, but a smaller fish might help after all.
Monday October 31st Happy Halloween! The Capricorn Moon sends out a warning that your dreamy ideas could cost you a bundle when Venus in Scorpio moves into a 90° square with Neptune at 5:19 pm. This causes a tendency to be overly sentimental, romantic, emotionally dreamy, and you could fall in love with a fantasy figure. Also there may be a dissipating love interest and your desire to escape daily stress with fantasy. You could purchase things that are just beyond your ability to pay for instance. And then there is an illusion attached to your choices. Also watch out for your purse and watch out for your heart. Someone may try to sweep you off your feet, but may not really be available –the related aspect is at 5:19 pm on Monday.
Coming into Tuesday we still have a Capricorn Moon. Capricorn Moon I always think of that song “look happy”. That’s kind of what a Capricorn Moon feels like to me. It presents the pressure to get your outer appearances going suitable for business presentations no matter how you feel. At 4:37 am Mercury reaches a 90° angle to Neptune on Tuesday. This is confusing. You can definitely be experiencing this the night before. On Monday night you will have enough mental fog that could cause you to sleep overtime on Tuesday. Plan a backup method for getting you started for the day. Blind spots and lies: those are the nature of Mercury square Neptune. You could be hoodwinked and if you are trying to hoodwink someone else you could be found out. There are very loose boundaries with that type of aspect and visionary impressions. Children could be the focus. Listen to what it is they are trying to tell you and also animals disappearing or getting off the leash, be careful about that. Be aware of hidden traffic traps. Even medications could be misread.
On the positive side there is a creative streak with all of this Venus, Mercury and Neptune energy. Telepathic information is also strong with all of this Neptune influence.
Tuesday November 1st at 6:07 pm a void of course Moon period ends. Now I didn’t mention when it starts. It starts on Tuesday at 5:00 pm when the Moon is sextile Venus. It’s a good one. Then the Moon enters the sign of Aquarius.
Once again there are a few some complications with the Aquarius Moon sign that begins at 6:07 pm and that will run for a couple of days. The reason it’s complicated is because both Venus and Mercury will change signs. So before they do that they call attention to themselves, as they are standing at that final degree of Scorpio. This attracts major events. I’ve seen train wrecks with Mercury at the final degree of a sign and where complications during travel cause pileups. Along with those things, add Venus to make it expensive. I would say take a lot of care with your activities. There is something else that pumps up that message, is the Sun parallel Mars which occurs at 11:37 pm. However if you are up late cramming to complete a task you can find the energy to do so. Otherwise turn in early on Tuesday evening and do most of your communications over the phone or online. You want to avoid any selections or any agreements with this particular Moon sign until these changes have finished. Before that you may find your main players leave your project before you get a chance to seal the deal.
For Wednesday November 2nd the Aquarius Moon shows Venus leaving the sign of Scorpio at 4:51 am she enters Sagittarius right until November 26th. Venus her principle is about sharing balance, joining experiences with others while Venus travels through Sagittarius. Your focus may be on relationships that offer you space and a sense of openness without that heavy expectation of commitment. Just enjoy, have fun with the lighter side of Venus. Friendship is going to be important as well with Venus in Sagittarius because of its aspect to Uranus coming up. But on Wednesday there is a 1st quarter Moon at 12:38 pm at nearly 10 degrees, of Aquarius. This is related to a new Moon that occurred last February 3rd. If you want to look back and see what it was think of a seed that was planted in February that now begins to take form. You can be actively involved in the process of getting on with what it is that you wanted to do back in February. So move forward after 12:54 pm when Mercury changes signs and enters Sagittarius. Now this is going to be a long stay, relatively speaking for Mercury. Mercury does not leave the sign of Sagittarius until January 8th. While Mercury is in the sign of Sagittarius it will turn retrograde on November 24th until December 13th. The next day after it turns retrograde there is a solar eclipse on November 25, 2011. So there is a major statement being made with Mercury at this position. It is a good time to listen, record and do whatever you can to keep your records in order because they may lead to something bigger.
There is an excellent aspect on Wednesday night for choosing a counselor. Uranus and palace Athena are 60 degrees apart. This is great for strategy it’s unique. You could hear about a medical discovery that is brilliant. Also you could create a plan of your own or find a counselor of your own for whatever your needs: whether they are financial or personal or instructors of any sort. It is a great night for Wednesday beginning in the afternoon to find that special person to help you with your goal.
On Thursday Venus and Mercury are both applying a trine to Uranus. Trines are beautiful. They are harmonious. They are 120 degrees apart. You may suddenly meet the love of your life. Mercury and Venus together particularly create introductions. I give Thursday a green light to move forward. Venus is trine at 3:54 am to Uranus then Mercury is trine to Uranus at 9:57 am. This is Thursday morning both of them make contact with Pallas Athena shortly there after making this an excellent day for creating some sort of an alliance with others signing, agreeing. There is a little snag at 8:05 pm when the Moon is opposite to Mars. If you were going to sign on something I would wait until after 8:05 pm if you can. Say lets touch back later in the evening and seal the deal as the Moon then leaves that aspect. Because Moon Mars tends to be aggressive, argumentative and cuts things off. Particularly Mars will cut things off. So if you do find the love of your life don’t push things. Just let it go with the flow. Let it have its natural development stage.
For Friday well we have this void of course Moon period that starts at 11:40 pm Thursday night until Friday morning at 3:17 am. Then the Moon enters the sign of Pisces. The Pisces Moon will be with us right through until Sunday. There are no major aspects. You could find an excellent piece of property or some way to invest in something at 9:34 am on Friday when Mercury and Vesta the investor align for you to find something very special. The final aspect of the Pisces Moon is very positive as it parallels Uranus on Saturday afternoon. So what this says is this is a unique Moon sign Friday and Saturday for you to find what you want and go ahead - move forward and make your choices. It’s a pretty good week. But I just don’t trust these extra good weeks especially where we have the lunar nodes setting off eclipse degrees.

Report for October 15-22, 2011

2011-10-17T20:03:00.000-04:00

Sat Oct 15 2011 – Sat Oct 22 2011 - audio report.
Dietrech’s Party Plans yet. Stay tuned for details over the next few weeks.
The week ahead is a very good one.
I have rated each day of the week ahead with all Green Lights. When the last aspect of the Moon, in its given sign, is a good one then the Moon sign period gets a Green Light. This invites you to move forward with your projects, your ideas, any of the things that you want to accomplish that need cooperation with others or not. With an entire week of very good planetary energies to forward with your goals you might gain the momentum you need. The only exceptions are of a couple of short void of course Moon periods.
The Moon is void of course Saturday morning while the Moon was hovering under the Pleiades, also called the Seven Stars or the Seven Weeping Sisters. I do hope there is nothing to cry about. “Something to cry about” is a phrase that is associated with the Seven Sisters. At 10:15 AM the Moon sign changes from Taurus to Gemini ending the void of course Moon for Saturday October 15.

The ancients claim that the Moon is never void of course in Taurus because it is exalted in that sign nor in the sign of Cancer because that is its home sign. However, I will note the times that they will be void of course in those signs according to the modern version of astrology. There is a void of course Moon in Gemini on Monday at 6:17 PM until 9:37 PM at which time the Moon sign changes to Cancer. Looking ahead to Thursday, there is a very brief Cancer void of course Moon at 5:44 AM until 6:06 AM. This is an excellent Cancer Moon period which ends with a parallel to Mars. With Mars driving the Cancer Moon this week we should see plenty of momentum. Add to that a Last Quarter Moon at 26° Cancer on Wednesday which will be the highlight day of the week.
___________________________________________________________________________________
Saturday October 15, 2011.
But let’s go back to Saturday’s energy that begins at 10:15 AM with a Gemini Moon. There is plenty to talk about and connecting with neighbors and sibs. It’s a time for getting together and great for making those calls, sending out emails, reaching people and errands. There are no major aspects throughout this day to slow you down or hold up any type of connection that you want to make. So the doors and the lines of communication are open.
___________________________________________________________________________________
Sunday October 16, 2011.
That Gemini Moon still gives us the same kind of energy
Sunday. There is an aspect between Mercury to Pluto. It’s a bridging aspect at 60° which is a connection and communication aspect from Mercury in Scorpio and Pluto in Capricorn which is positive. Mercury is the guide that takes you into places that you shouldn’t go, perhaps, or that you fear to go. With Mercury as your guide you travel safely in and out of what could be treacherous places or topics. Chose a strong guide for important meetings and hearings. Be open to the messages from those on the other side. Maybe you will come across a letter, get some type of information or impression from people who have passed away or about people who have passed away – that’s at 12:57 PM on Sunday. Another interpretation is a significant financial piece of information as well that may work for you. – It’s a positive aspect.
___________________________________________________________________________________
Monday October 17, 2011.
On Monday there are just a couple of aspects. Mars and Uranus in a very cranky aspect of 135°. Mars and Uranus will burn the tires right off your car, so doesn’t speed. It’s at 7:08 am. The morning commute might be hazardous that’s for sure on Monday the 17th. Also there is an opposite aspect between Mercury and Jupiter at 2:55 PM. This makes that day look as if there is a lot of traffic, travel problems, difficulty trying to get through a cluster of activity. The traffic jams, and plans could be dropped. It might help to check and double check your route. The last aspect of the Moon is at 6:17 PM on Monday evening and it is Moon trine Neptune. The indications are that things end up okay. But Neptune also says there is a cloud that blocks your view. Something might easily slip out of sight or you may find a magic window of opportunity. Then the Moon sign changes to Cancer at 9:38 PM Monday night.

___________________________________________________________________________________
Tuesday October 18, 2011.
Happy Birthday to my dear friend Naomi in Colorado. Tuesday is a very good day with another Green Light throughout the day to help with your goals. This particular Cancer Moon sign has Mars at the end of its run allowing for a positive push in the right direction. Perhaps there is a man that is looking to settle down. Something interesting occurs when Mars and Ceres are 150 degrees apart at 3:11 PM. I call this “life messy clean it up”. Look for important matters to heat up; or finally there is a fire under the pot. Things are burning up or a burning desire to create more supplies. There is a story about children in particular or others that you care for. Maybe there is a strong urgent need. That aspect has a quality of your need to stop what you are doing and tend to something that presents itself as most important. That energy may govern the qualities of the afternoon on Tuesday. There could be a job in the health care or care provider field with that aspect.
___________________________________________________________________________________
Wednesday October 19, 2011.
On Wednesday morning Mercury and Venus join with a parallel; an aspect helps people to join and relate to one another in a pleasant way. Perhaps this aspect will help you to find your voice about a particular topic dear to your heart. Or simply give you the words to speak the most. Also this aspect opens topics about children, animals and pets. There is also an aspect between Neptune and Juno. Juno is the wife, the bride, the marriage indicator. Juno also represents decorating yourself or home but it can be about honoring someone. Neptune and Juno might be romantic together. People may be calling me to say they just met someone or their sweetheart proposed. It’s fun like for Wednesday night.

Wednesday night there is a Last Quarter Moon at 26 degrees of Cancer. It takes place at 11:30 PM. This lunar phase is tied to a Moon family that started with a solar eclipse July 22nd of 2009. The next family member was 9 months beyond that which was April of 2010; another 9 months beyond brought the related Full Moon last January of 2011 and here we are at October 19th 2011 – with the Last Quarter Moon which is the last piece to the storyline that followed along near those dates. The story has to do with family and bonds. Families are joining for various reasons. There are topics about changing your plans about the care of family members. Perhaps about assisted care for older family members, or maybe day care for younger family members. There could be a large story in the news about babies. I know there is a missing baby that is in the news. And maybe the story will be resolved. There could be an important announcements of birth.
__________________________________________________________________________________
Thursday October 20, 2011.
There is a void of course Moon Thursday morning, very early at 5:44 AM until 6:06 am. Then in comes a happy Leo Moon. Another day with a Green Light. Keep moving forward with the exception of the void of course Moon periods. The void of course Moon period means that whatever you are trying to do is left to kind of a free flowing energy that can take your plans off the track or you land in a different place than what you expected. You’re not able to see things the way you planned. However, new things, interesting things, fun things can come in. Or if you have a worry or a problem during a void of course Moon period when your problem emerges there is an astrological phrase for that; “don’t worry, nothing will come of it”. So it’s not at all a bad thing by any means. As a matter of fact a lot of good things happen during this void of course Moon periods.

___________________________________________________________________________________
Friday October 21, 2011.
On Friday morning Mercury and Mars are split parallel. There could be arguments and accidents as well. Under this aspect you find a lot of animals in the road that run into our cars, we run into them. That’s a sad thing. There could be issues with animals: Trying to contain the coyotes in the area, a barking and biting dogs with that aspect as well. And children are also trying to voice their needs. It is exact in the early morning hours of Friday. But it does dominate Thursday night and most of Friday. Then there is an aspect, a similar aspect, between Venus and Mars. And that means that someone comes together briefly – could be from the past. Lovers from the past or marriage partners from the past may interact. It occurs at 7:26 pm, but this also is a long term aspect that is going to show us people emerging from the past or people to come together for a particular goal. It may also generate some money for a one time project. That is going to govern the energies for Friday. Venus and Mars also allows for a temporary job that comes up that puts some cash in your pocket. There is an aspect between the Sun and Neptune. It’s a dreamy aspect, it’s imaginative, it has a lot of color to it. But it could also bring some weather even though the aspect is a positive 120° trine. I often find that when Neptune aspects are strong we do get a lot of wet weather.
___________________________________________________________________________________
Saturday October 22, 2011.
At 8:34 AM on Saturday morning is a void of course Moon at the end of that Leo Moon sign. That is brief. It only lasts until 10:40 in the morning on Saturday. That’s pretty much it for the week.
People have been asking is there a Mercury retrograde. No, there isn’t. Mercury is involved in a lot of activity with the planets makes it feel that way. And another thing that would make it feel that way – the nodes of the Moon are travelling over or hovering over the degree where a lunar eclipse will take place in June of 2012. So activities intensify, problems intensify, may get more of that mechanical breakdown, and missed messages, and miscommunications. Whatever you plan has to be redone. Mercury is not retrograde; it will not be retrograde before another month I think.
Also I am still planning to have a birthday party but I don’t have the details settled yet. I will keep you informed but it’s not going to be on the 23rd of October. We haven’t found a place where we want to hold it. Everyone is invited.

Astrology Classes are on Wednesday nights at 7:00 pm. Please join us. We are coming into eclipse season and we are going to be discussing the highlights of those things.

THIS WEEK'S MOON PHASE: First Quarter Moon on Monday October 4, 2011 exact at 11:15 PM and at 10° Capricorn 34’.

Below you can find four related Moon phases that form a group called a "Moon Family." A Moon Family is special because each of the four related Moon phases shares a lineage with this weeks' Full Moon. This Moon Family began at a New Moon eighteen months ago. Notice all four Moon phases occur near the same zodiacal degree and are separated by a nine-month interval. A Moon family is a remarkable timing tool that links the dates of your story-lines in a pattern that develops over a two-and-a-quarter-year period and is often renewed after three years with a New Moon near the same degree as this Moon Family. I have named the nine month interval the "Lunar Gestation Cycle" and when grouped form a Moon Family. See if your current situation connects to the Moon Family found within two weeks of the following dates:

The following list shows four related lunar phases called a Moon Family. This week’s First Quarter Moon at 10° Capricorn 34’ is particularly powerful because a solar eclipse occurred at the New Moon phase on January 4, 2011.

New Moon Solar Eclipse occurred January 4, 2011.
First Quarter - October 4, 2011
Full Moon - July 3, 2012
Last Quarter- April 3, 2013

[From Lunar Shadows III – pg 34 -
First Quarter Moon = a readiness that encourages the development of new endeavors, or a response with action when called upon.
page 40
A First Quarter Moon
The First Quarter Moon is a “turning point.” The Sun and Moon have grown beyond a place of oneness and into separate sets of experience. There are differences at the point of the first square, and this can be a time of clash and stress. Breaking through the ground the way a seedling must is no small feat because it must fight its way through the soil to reach the light of the Sun. This is an ambitious time.

What is the Meaning of a First Quarter Moon?
At a First Quarter Moon, there is a great burst of energy and growth. It is an active and courageous time with sharp
and strong challenges. There is a lot of forward motion and drive toward progress. Often problems are present.
The crisis that occurs at this time is likely to be a credit for the future, as even a painful experience can send you into
a positive leap forward. Conflict between males and females are one of the traits of Moon square Sun. Most often,
events happen right on the day of Quarter Moons. The kinds of events that have a real First Quarter Moon quality go beyond the seed stage and on to the next level of activity. This is where one becomes actively involved with matters that had their beginnings nine months ago. There could be an air of ambition and enthusiasm in whatever you are doing. You are becoming enlightened and moving at an energetic, forward pace. It is a time of coming around the corner but not a time to cut corners. A particularly strong sense of purpose is evident with a First Quarter Moon that is related to a Solar Eclipse nine months prior (as is relevant to the October 4, 2011 First Quarter Moon). Things “take off.” Ideas that were only dreams back at the Solar Eclipse (or New Moon) are now developing a life of their own and pressing you to make them a reality. The light of the First Quarter Moon is still growing and suggests there are potentials that need more research and direction and there is still a question. ]

You can use the dates in this Moon Family to reflect or project into the future when you focus on your current situation. Once you have realized your story is part of the "bigger picture" you may relate to each phase in the Moon Family personally, as it carries your storyline along a path of logical evolution. Expect related topics, either personal or public to resurface on the dates shown in the future. By following the symbolism of the four Moon phases which represent the various stages of your story, you develop greater insights to the timing and meaning of the events in your life. Even after one Moon family is completed over a period of 2.25 years, a new Moon Family emerges with a new event or new beginning at the next New Moon stage nine months following the last date of a Moon Family.

At the First Quarter Moon stage, nine months after a New Moon, there is a progressive and enthusiastic development of growth. The degree of the New Moon is revived with the First Quarter Moon. At this stage you may know what your want to do but are just getting started. You need to make choices and selections or apply for permits, licenses or perhaps travel tickets or the next stage in a relationship. This is a gathering stage. Think of the First Quarter Moon stage as a time to shop for the ingredients to make a hearty stew.

Watch your story completely bloom and come to completion at the time of a Full Moon where deadlines, full disclosures, case presentations, social events, weddings and the like are typical.

In another nine months you may reap the rewards for your efforts as this stage brings matters to a close by the time that this Moon Family's Last Quarter Moon occurs. This is the pay-up or get-paid Moon phase. At this time you will collect the productive pieces of this two and a quarter years to seed the future. It can be a period when you are motivated to clear out or let go of things that are no longer useful. However people or things may return to you during the last quarter phase of which you once thought were finished. You may return to places where you had once traveled or visit with people from those places. People may return to you during this phase. It may become clear that very little is gone forever, even if it's a memory that keeps it alive.

Specific influence of this Capricorn Moon sign will square Venus as its last aspect before leaving the sign. This influence is difficult especially for business matters. You may find that your goals do not stand the test of time and they are extremely expensive plus come up short of your expectations. For real estate matters the focus may be on forcing an issue because of a deadline. There are cob webs and blind spots hindering your better judgment during this time.

The most important event is the First Quarter Moon that occurs on Monday night at 11:15 PM at 10° Cp 38’ which is related to the solar eclipse nine months ago January 4, 2011.

Judges and government rulings also are in the news. A focus is on a woman or the financial report. You may be ready to move forward but are held back due to money or document requirements.

General influence of the Capricorn Moon sign.
Hard-working Capricorn Moons are dead serious about their work. The "rules" command the day. Progress and status are important. Important people that "count" are around, as well as people you can count on. You are your own presentation, and caring about what other people think is often more important. The tone might be something like, "It is not as important to be happy as it is to be correct and successful." Make sure all your ducks are in a row. As a result, the pressure is great to be successful. Criticism runs high during Capricorn Moons and if you have not invited criticism as a constructive asset you could receive a blow to your confidence. This can be a time when people are more sensitive or very thin skinned. Capricorn can often expose matters of low self-esteem and gloomy feelings. There tends to be an emotional coldness during this time. Fathers, bosses, and authority figures are the main characters at the time of the Capricorn Moon. Architecture, big business and corporate structures are the focus. If you are a Capricorn, matters tend to go your way. Plant bushes and trees. Root crops.

Oct 5 2011
Specific to this Aquarius Moon- This begins a couple of Green Light days with the Moon’s final aspect is conjunct Neptune. This can be an indication of magical results for your efforts or magical thinking. Be on the alert that confusion may accompany an important decision. If you can use your strongest inner guidance you could reach a successful outcome. There are two aspect of significance: Mercury conjunct Saturn on Thursday and the Sun parallel Saturn on Friday. An aspect from the Sun to Neptune Thursday night indicates a sloppy or misguided direction.

Aquarius is an outgoing air sign ruling friendship and groups that join to exchange ideas and share like-minded ideas. With an Aquarius Moon the unusual, brand-new, and bizarre are the order of the day. This is usually a more social time with the unexpected as the norm. Aquarius rules anything very strange or alien in nature. Emotions are more erratic with unpredictable expressions. When independence streak is triggered some people express themselves with alienating behaviors becomes obvious. This is also true with nations, and companies, etc. There is a sense or expectation of change, and for some it may feel like impending doom. For others a strong surge of hope is evident. Aquarius is a fixed sign, indicating that things may not really change but evolve to the level of social consciousness. This may be a good time for revelations and awakenings. Aquarius rules mirrors or tape recorders, where reflection and repetitiveness are modes of behavior. Incessant talkers are reported, debating any passing point. This is the sign of invention and modernization. If you are an Aquarius, matters tend to go your way. Doctor appointments on days with Aquarius Moons can lead to treatments with the most modern techniques and equipment. In the garden it's a good time to eliminate bugs and weeds.

TRANSITING MOON ENTERING PISCES at 9:13 PM
Oct 7 2011
The Pisces Moon can be a time of divine inspiration and composition. It is normally a sympathetic and empathetic time. This is a great time to recharge your batteries with some well needed down time. For some they may seek an escape with alcohol or mind-altering substances. You may feel compelled toward activities that support what feels like a mission or become a vehicle for divine intervention. This moon period can hold both gentle and forceful energy. Neptune the god of the sea, rules Pisces can be divinely spiritual or filled with upheaval when enraged. Hurricanes after all are born at sea. Tidal waves, tsunami and monsoons are all ruled by Neptune as are any major rain or snow storm. This can be a sensitive and romantic couple of days. There may be a presence of strong feelings of faith combined with a need to make a spiritual connection. It is normally a sympathetic and empathetic period; people can be overly sensitive and feel victimized. At times when feeling overly frustrated and misunderstood, striking out at others turns the victim into the victimizer as with the wounded puppy syndrome. There may be a strong focus on cosmetic and superficial appearances. Some may experience a Pisces Moon as a "black cloud" or fear that something unfortunate will occur as with 'Murphy's Law". There is a strong spiritual hunger during this time. Emotions range from melancholy to sentimental. This is a very good time for meditation, yoga and prayer and connecting to the universal divine protector. On a mundane level, there may be all sorts of sneaky behavior behind the scenes and misrepresentations. You may become aware of secrets. Clandestine affairs love a Pisces Moon. Elect to work behind the scenes for tasks requiring solitude. Intuition runs high; so trust your gut feelings. Music can be used as a tool to alter moods. Practice meditation, yoga and prayer. Create something poetic and be open to receive inspiration. Help someone -- service and sacrifice is Pisces' middle name and it helps with any tendency toward self pity. Be aware of the lack of boundaries. The weather may be wet or misty. This is a fertile time and productive time in the garden. Planting and cultivating. If a Moon phases occurs while the Moon is in Pisces, people take action on the secrets revealed. The rule of thumb with a Pisces Moon is that you will land in a different place than you expected if you choose this time to initiate your objectives. You can expect that not all of the facts are visible regardless of the Moon phase. If you are a Pisces, matters generally tend to go your way.

TRANSITING MOON GOES VOID OF COURSE AFTER parallel Uranus on Sunday October 9, 2011 at 9:53 AM
Oct 8 2011

The week of Sep 24 - Oct 2nd with a study of the chart for the Fall Equinox.

2011-09-24T12:44:00.001-04:00

Class on Wednesday evenings at 7:00 PM and call for your signed copy of Lunar Shadows III at 617– 924-0929.
For this week's report - Scroll beyond the following notes for the chart of the 2011 Fall Equinox.

Fall Equinox 2011

The picture of Fall Equinox chart appears to be exciting and eventful. The Sun is opposite Uranus, the king of excitement is stroked by Mars in its fiery glory as if it is holding the Leo Moon like a charm and quincunx Pluto (the powers that be). Pluto tries to show its stuff with the New Moon at the end of September when the New Moon is square to the Lord of control and dominating pressure. More global monetary upheaval can be expected. A week later the First Quarter Moon at 10° Capricorn shows the transiting Sun aligned with the equinox’s Venus at 10° Libra on October 3, 2011 in addition transiting Mars is 90° to equinox Jupiter. This may offer solutions to a stressed economy or reveal another serious dip in growth. Military action or a strong political plan is indicated as well. This aspects reveals an extreme prejudice. October 26th Pallas reaches zero Aquarius and may organize people to make a point. The Full Moon in Aries, on October 11th, star-cases Saturn in all its glory in its sign of exaltation.

How will Father Time, Saturn, ask us to take a look at irresponsible behavior and work on the details of pairing and parting as the Libra port finds where couple came together but the Aries port sets out on a singular mission? Aries’ drive for independence has its price and Libra's justice has its rewards and consequences as well as the universe attempts to strike a balance.
October 19th Last Quarter Moon at 26° Cancer brings matters to a close from the summer of 2009. As you reap the rewards of your efforts from things that began July ’09 and gained speed April 2010 to the Full disclosure of Jan 2011 and finally the check is in the mail around October 19, 2011. October’s Last Quarter in Capricorn is a direct hit to the equinox’s Pallas Athena. This awakens the corporate brain. This may also extend the hand of justice and seek balance for those in government. A battle is brewing as thoughts of no forward movement in government threaten the livelihood of the people. The financial wizardry may reveal the pitfalls and stepping stones of the economic picture of which the global economy continues to struggle.

When the equinox Mars is triggered by the New Moon at 3° Scorpio on October 26th it repeats the influence of the 120° Mars trine Uranus. This pushes inventions and discoveries forward. This also causes upset and fiery events. Expect surprises at every corner and financial shifts. Equinox Mars is also 45° and 135° from the nodes of the Moon. This indicates that sparks may fly at every turn. Matters build up that all seem to require immediate attention. Mars can help those looking for work to get back to work.
November 24th a solar eclipse at 2° Sagittarius fills in the third leg of a grand trine to the equinox Mars in Leo and Uranus in Aries trine. This adds to the excitement of the eclipse and should reveal the most dynamic innovations.

The lunar eclipse on December 10th is sizzling hot as Uranus is station turning direct at zero Aries and opposed the Sun of the equinox while Jupiter reaches its station point of zero Taurus. The economy, the earth and its stability are at the center of our attention. A dark horse may arrive on the scene for political advancement. The chart of the Fall Equinox will be an interesting chart to follow for global affairs.

The Week Ahead 9-24-11 through 10-2-2011
_________________________________________________________________

Moving on to the report for the week ahead; September 24 - October 2nd.
There are several events of special interest this week. Keeping in mind that Uranus and Pluto color the landscape in our lives with a 90° angle through 2015. As this aspect applies a sharp and dramatic push toward some of the biggest changes we have experienced in years we will be motivated by the courage brought up from the depths of our beings. This week the Sun, Mercury and Mars bring this message home on a personal level with sharp words from Mercury in Libra, a creative spotlight from the Libra Sun and the highly motivated actions and push for work from Mars in Leo. This is the work of your heart. A stunning New Moon brings both surprise and a new rebellious voice into the foreground. There may be a key event that sparks the reactions of organized groups which might march or plan to march with a strong message for those in the seat of power.

The Moon will be as close to the earth as it gets in a month while in the invisible New Moon’s dark phase, Tuesday night/Wednesday morning, September 28. The Moon may be invisible but its impact is likely to swell the seas inside and out. This New Moon brings the crazies out from behind their masks. Take notes. Be an observer and not a player into the great drama that could unfold.

The planet changes began last Friday morning, 9/23, as the Sun arrived at Libra’s door bringing the fall season at 5:05 AM. This is a dynamic moment in time that is filled with surprises over the next three months. Mercury arrives in Libra on Sunday September 25th. The New Moon occurs on Tuesday at 7:09 AM at 4° Libra.

The planets that present a lasting impression and support a positive influence are found when parallel in declination to each other and extend the impact of any other aspect that they share during the week. This week Mercury and Uranus are opposite on Tuesday morning and held in place by the parallel that morning. This brings a lasting affect from the types of derailment often noticed by Mercury a and Uranus opposition. Something about the cutoff is vital to the next step in linking others to its cause.
Also on Tuesday morning Venus and Saturn join in a long lasting parallel that precedes the conjunction that is not exact until Thursday evening. Those that have been trying to bring peace must first acknowledge that a part or all of the relationship must compromise or lose it. If the end of an existing relationship is eminent the financial and practical matters are brought to the table.

Mercury is likely to make a splash on Saturday when it bumps into Neptune with a 150° aspect as its last hoorah in the sign of Virgo, exact at 11:47 PM and during the void of course Moon period. The sky is falling was certainly a consideration while the Moon traveled through the sign of Leo and headed for its opposition as its last event. Reports from NASA that its satellite fell into an unknown point the Pacific Ocean overnight.
_________________________________________________
Saturday Sep 24. The Moon is in Leo.
The outlook for Saturday might be foggy for you as your judgment could be off. IF you are out looking for a product or piece of property you might buy based on sentiment and not logic. The roof or foundation could be soggy and your thinking is out in left field. This is not a good day to sign or move forward with anything important.

The Moon is void of course in Leo from 10:39 PM Saturday night until it enters Virgo at 12:49 AM Sunday morning.
__________________________________________________

Sunday Sep 25. Moon is in Leo changing to Virgo. Hold back until you get all the facts.

The Virgo Moon sign must wait for Mercury to change signs at 5:08 PM Sunday night before conditions improve only for some matters. I would not chance it for important endeavors. However Mercury is motivated at the final degree of Virgo to clean up and get to work. Ask for help to plow throw big projects. Be sure to show your appreciation.

The likelihood of a jack-in-the-box could pop out of any corner is the work of the Sun opposite Uranus Sunday night at 8:14 PM. This is a haphazard day all around that could produce huge traffic jams, problems with flight and derailments of any sort. Computer glitches or viruses could affect traffic control. Sudden verbal outburst reveals an unusual truth. Rhythms are off and crowds could be spurred into a strong reaction by a political event.
Later Sunday night Venus and Neptune form a blind spot 135° aspect that impairs your judgment of others or reveals a hint of what might be going on behind the obvious.
Sunday is best for your selections after 5:08 PM or expect to lose something important to your project. It could be a lost connection or missing document. Your words might be taken out of context in an upsetting fashion. In any case this is not a good day to move forward.
___________________________________
Monday Sep 26. The Moon is in Virgo and has a soupy end to its mission when it forms a 150° aspect to Neptune 19:41 PM Monday night (I call that aspect life’s messy, clean it up. We enter the dark phase of the Moon on Monday. The Sun and Mercury are discussing an important step and call on expert advice. The day may be spurred on by an old wound from a Mercury and Chiron (the wounded healer) aspect.
Early Tuesday morning Mars and Pluto form that difficult and quirky 150° at 12:20 AM during the void Moon period. This is a steam roller aspect which can influence Monday night’s events. There is a significant pushback to force a point. On the positive side this aspect could put you back to work. Muscles should be stretched before rigorous activity. Injuries during sports events and over exertion are noted with this aspect.
______________________________________
Tuesday Sep 27. The Moon is in Virgo changing to Libra.
The void Moon period ends Tuesday morning at 12:50 AM when the Moon enters Libra until Thursday morning. The Libra Moon shows promise when all is said and done.
For Tuesday Mercury opposes Uranus at 2:29 AM. Watch what your say or how you interpret others. Difficulties rise between neighbors or siblings. Respect boundaries. The Venus and Saturn parallel plays into the saga of the New Moon which is exact at 7:08 AM. The issues are monetary with a strong focus on negotiations and the table of compromise. But something suddenly changes the picture as the New Moon sits in opposition to Uranus.
____________________________________
Wednesday Sep 28. The Libra Moon seeks to compromise a tedious power play set off by the Sun square to Pluto at 5:36 AM. Mercury follows suit in its square to Pluto at 10:26 AM. We come out of the dark Moon phase Wednesday midmorning. There is a major announcement or introduction as the Sun and Mercury join a 5° Libra. A conference brings light to a stalemate.
The best period to move forward thus far in the week is after 10:26 AM through to 9:51 PM when the Moon is void of course until 12:04 AM on Thursday when the Moon enters Scorpio.
______________________________
Thursday Sep 29. Moon in Scorpio is not good for entering agreements because the Moon will confuse and disappoint matters as it reaches a square to Neptune at the end of its trek through Scorpio. You may be hoodwinked or misguided. Use your inner resources before moving into final decisions.
At 3:27 AM Mercury and Mars are in a 60° bridge building aspect which can be working in your favor, linking you to others in your chosen direction even while you sleep. Keep an open ear for words from your children or important signals from your pets.
At 7:47 PM Thursday Venus renews its commitment to Saturn with a conjunction. This aspect joins those of wide age differences or gaps in expertise. Explore commitments without a final decision until Oct 1st and 2nd.
______________________________________
Friday Sep 30. Moon is in Scorpio. Avoid commitments and final selections. There might be news of a passing which influences your future.
Matters of property and jobs are the topics which are indicated by Mars and the Sun both in aspect to Vesta, the investor and keeper of sacred space, early in the morning. Put energy into the space you claim as private to maximize spiritual growth.
At 2:43 AM the Sun and Mars are linked by a very positive 60° aspect. This is a bridge building aspect.
Mercury & Jupiter at 150° at 2:16 pm send you on a trip or lead you to a new perspective whether in a class or philosophical outlook.

The Moon is v/c Friday night at 10:17 PM.
_______________________________________
Saturday Oct 1st. The Moon changes from Scorpio to Sagittarius.
The v/c Moon period ends on Saturday October 1st at 12:41 AM which begins the first Green Light day in the near future. Go for it.
_______________________________________
Sunday Oct 2nd. The Moon is in Sagittarius. Green Light.
The same for Saturday as Sunday October 2nd with a solid Green Light to move forward. This is an excellent Sagittarius Moon sign period with over enthusiasm as its worst crime. Expect a desire to over extend or over commitment as these couple of days are filled with optimism. Go ahead and move forward with your goals.

Join me for a lively astrology class on Wednesday evenings at 7:00 – 9:00 PM.

Astrology Report for the week Sept 17 - 23, 2011

2011-09-17T11:33:00.000-04:00

____________________________________________________________________________________
Saturday Sep 17. The Moon is in Taurus. It is a Green Light Day with plenty of momentum as the Moon's final aspect while in Taurus is sextile Mars on Sunday morning. This governs our activities today with a boost of high energy. Venus in Libra and Uranus in Aries were at opposite sides of the zodiac when they faced off at 7:05 AM. There might be discussion of how you may help with your friend's problems which suddenly come to your attention. This is a time to evaluate your money and belongings for future needs. The investment asteroid, Vesta turns direct this evening, releasing the locks on the market of your interest. This is a time to set up a sacred space for your spiritual or meditative practice. While in the sign of Aquarius, friends can be of great assistance or you may join a group of like minded people. The Sun and Jupiter are connected by 135 degrees with a tendency to over extend. There is a desire to get out from under a stressful environment. This is a mild traveling energy. You may detect an arrogant tone in the air. Maybe there is a legal snag or loop hole. Watch how over confidence might sabotage your progress. Someone in your company could be obnoxious. This aspect creates a restlessness need to get away. Perhaps you gain an education through rude experiences. The light is shining on tight knitted problem areas but there is little that can be done at this time unless you actually have the cash to buy your way out. This particular aspect may be over zealous with a piece of information that is over valued. Gather broader sections of information as a piece to a puzzle. The combination of these aspects actually leads to a fun and lively evening.

____________________________________________________________________________________
Sunday Sep 18. The Taurus Moon is void of course at 3:08 AM until the Moon enters Gemini at 4:06 AM. In the meanwhile Juno, the marriage indicator joins Saturn. This aspect has been brewing for sometime and is found to confront dysfunctional relationships. People need to consider all the hard realities of breaking long-term ties. This is further indicated by another Venus and Uranus aspect early Sunday. For some this leads to hope of a brighter future. While others oblivious to the problems are stunned like a deer in the headlights.

The Gemini Moon begins at 4:06 AM on Sunday. There are two aspects under great pressure from Mars to change although you cannot stop him from leaving or moving onto the next stage of his path. Sunday evening Mercury and Saturn place thinking on a serious tone while Venus and Pluto square off at 9:07 PM opening an argument about jealousies and possessions. The Gemini Moon has many stories for Sunday evening's drama, but resist the temptation to throw your Ming Dynasty vase at your partner as he walks out the door. This would be Mars leaving the Cancer nest at 9:50 PM for the bright lights of Leo. With Mars headed for a fire sign he feels at home with the common element that supports creative drives; gets your stuff out there; puts you to work; and shows others what you can do. This change is positive and generates a Green Light through Tuesday afternoon at 12:33 PM. You may have a vision - go with it. Expect to meet like minded people along the way.
____________________________________________________________________________________
Monday Sep 19. The Gemini Moon takes you all over town and your ideas flow. You may feel inspired with imagination and a sense of purpose. You just need to gather all the information you can about your topic and network like crazy. Make requests for letters of support and write resumes. There are several relationship aspects on Monday that may lead you to a good partner or counselor to support your goals. This is a Green Light Day that is perfect for signing agreements although hunt for any blind spots that might snag the yarns of progress later.
______________________________________________________________________________________
Tuesday Sep 20. The Gemini Moon is very talkative and reaches out to organize a plan when it makes a hard square to the Virgo Sun. This is an action day with a Last Quarter Moon at 9:38 AM at 27° Gemini. This day has a lunar eclipse from Dec 21, 2010 in its history, nine months ago. Those events are connected to surrounding agenda for Tuesday adding to a high drama meter for the day. This is a very powerful day; do what you can to forward your goals. You might learn something of great value to you. You may find work or be up for a job review. The report you have been waiting for comes in. The results have smooth edges with the potential for growth within a scenario that you have imagined. Look for the silver lining even if the immediate results appear unfavorable. The Last Quarter Moon has its roots from June 2009, then March 2010, onto the Lunar Eclipse at 29^ Gemini Dec 2010 and the last piece is here on September 20, 2011. You are able to reap the rewards of your efforts and find the check is in the mail from either you or for you.

The Moon is v/c from 12:33 PM until it enters Cancer at 2:53 PM. The Cancer Moon is another Green Light Moon sign that reveals opportunities at every corner through Thursday night at 9:55 PM. You connect, negotiate and heal an old problem with the help of the great positive connectors, Venus and Mercury, on Tuesday afternoon and evening. You may meet someone that fills an important role for you.
____________________________________________________________________________________
Wednesday Sep 21. Green Light Day. The Cancer Moon keeps its information close to the chest and shares the goods with insiders. There is serious thinking with a plan that may involve children. There may be unfortunate stories of children left without the support they need or those cut off from their grandparents. Mercury to Saturn (10:29 AM split parallel) then Mercury in opposition to Ceres midday (1:44 PM) also contributes to the seriousness of these issues. Expect to change care givers for those young or old. Later that day Mars rushes in from behind the scenes which could add insult to injury with a 150^ aspect to Chiron at 8:20 PM. Be mindful that horse play may lead to injury. Chiron was wounded when "horsing around". At 10:16 PM Sun and Neptune are at 150^ bringing wild weather. Also beware of those with misguided intentions coming onto an unrelated scene. Such as a bull fighter at a tea party. The cost of oil may shift. The best day is Thursday for sealing the deal but go ahead and move forward on Wednesday. As many important matters are forced to a head on Wednesday. There are indicators that a crisis mounts however the results are good. Find openings for employment in the health care field or other service fields.
____________________________________________________________________________________
Thursday Sep 22. The Cancer Moon is in good shape with opportunities that rise on many fronts. Take all calls and move into action with strong convictions. There are a few planetary aspects beginning with the all day influence of Sun parallel Uranus. Expect surprises. Ideas are flowing and inventions are the order of the day. Look for the latest inventions and seek medical support with those with knowledge of cutting edge technologies. You may find work in the technology field today. At 1:22 PM Venus and Jupiter take a long lunch or never come back as they head out on an adventure. Overdoing has its consequences of which over spending may be one of them. But you may find something you love and must have. Mercury and Jupiter plan a trip with their aspect at 4:53 PM. Learn what is being said about you or read about it online. At 9:22 PM the Cancer Moon makes its final aspect with a very positive 60^ to the Sun. A void of course Moon period begins then and ends at 9:55 PM when the Moon enters Leo through Sunday morning. The Moon enters Leo at 9:55 PM and does not hold a Green Light. Hold back from any agreements during the Leo Moon sign.

____________________________________________________________________________________
Friday Sep 23. The Sun enters Libra and fall begins at 5:04 AM. The Leo Moon has its problems due to blind spots and wash outs. Your plans could be derailed as the status of the current economic reports hinge on the stalled political structure.

A sweeping event occurs with the boost from a Mars trine Uranus aspect at 7:23 AM that allows for innovative ideas and a list of new products. You can feel energized and supported by others but it may not be time to move forward. Hold back for a day with better outcome. Mercury and Venus are great for networking and pairing you with those that see you for who you are. Write and call with no expectations. Just stay in touch. The goddess of wisdom, Pallas, is turning direct at 11:38 PM Friday night. She is a brilliant counselor and assists with relationship issues.

For the week of September 3-10, 2011

2011-09-06T20:14:00.002-04:00

For those attending astrology classes at my house please note that we now meet every Wednesday night.

Last Saturday (September 3) we were hit with a combination of the two things - Victor was out sick, and a football game bounced us off the air. So we will be back on the air on WZBC next week.
The astrological activity for the week shows a busy Saturday on some levels with a Scorpio Moon changing to the sign of Sagittarius at 5:03 pm. There is a void of course Moon at 3:41 pm until 5:03 pm. The last aspect of the Scorpio Moon is square to Neptune, which has to do with blind spots. It will bring the inability to see around corners. A lot of mishaps or almost mishaps, could be likely with that kind of energy. Also making purchases with that aspect says that there are many things you are not going to be aware of. Things could be way too expensive and there could be problems and failures along the way.
The Sagittarius Moon comes in with terrific energy. It gives us a green light. The last aspect of the Sagittarius Moon is a really positive one, when it is sextile to Neptune on Monday at 8:30 pm, beginning the void of course Moon period until 10:03 pm on Monday. But from Saturday, September 3rd until that time on Monday September 5 we have a green light - meaning that you can move forward. There is a positive uplifting type of energy with this Sagittarius Moon. There is a first quarter Moon as well at 1:39 pm on Sunday the 4th of September. It occurs at 11 degrees of Sagittarius. This means there was a new Moon there 9 months ago at 11 degrees of Sagittarius. This Moon sign encourages us to move forward and to look out beyond anything that might have limited you before. Perhaps you’ll be happier doing something physical, getting outside. It’s a good time to work hard at a first quarter Moon – not a time to relax, because there is so much high action energy filled in this particular Moon sign. There is a competitive edge with a thrust to do something you once felt you couldn’t accomplish. So, it is full speed ahead with an eye open for possible obstacles. Try to imagine an outcome, how things will look in 9 months when there will be a full Moon near the same spot in the sign of Sagittarius. Try not to invest more than your interest is worth, because there is a tendency for over optimism with the sign of Sagittarius combined with the first quarter Moon. Both of those things bring about a type of over optimism, and you want to see that you are not over extending yourself. On the other hand, the energy is good for filing petitions or starting classes. If you are working in the arts, you may want to begin working on a new project or gathering the types of materials that you need. It could also be a great time to start writing a book – especially with this Sagittarius energy. Or perhaps if you’ve written one, you might want to try putting your feelers out during this Sagittarius Moon for an agent or publisher. Even though it is a holiday weekend you can send email, and your timing will be marked as being very good if you send an email during the green light time that we have with this Sagittarius Moon. Sunday night there are no aspects to hinder your progress.

For Monday the 5th, on Labor Day, there is an aspect between the Sun and Juno. Juno is the symbolic wife of Jupiter. She has a lot to do with decorating and fixing up and making things look excellent, so it is a nice day for that type of activity. At 1:43 pm someone may be noted to be honored for some reason. Then, Mercury and Jupiter form a parallel at 7:57 pm. This aspect has to do with reaching outside your normal realms of communication or avenues, or typical places you may go or have links to others, and this opens doors. It also opens your mind and it opens an avenue for education as well. Trips are very much indicated with the Sagittarius Moon together with a Moon-Mercury-Jupiter aspect. The parallel indicates a long term positive connection. So you are likely to meet people that you are going to enjoy having in your life for a long time. Then a void of course Moon begins at 8:30 pm on Monday night, continuing until 10:03 pm, when the Moon changes signs.

This particular Moon sign of Capricorn is not so positive. There are difficulties brewing related to the Moon opposite Mars which does not actually occur until Wednesday afternoon at 4:35 pm, but it governs the entire energy for the Capricorn Moon period. There are no major aspects that appear on Tuesday, so many things may feel free flowing. The Sun and the Moon will make a beautiful trine very early Wednesday morning at 12:07 am. That’s a nice aspect to be sleeping with; at least this part of the country on the east coast will be sleeping at 12:07 am, hopefully. A little bit of a coming together with Venus and Chiron occurs at 3:17 pm on Wednesday. This aspect has to do with the temporary ability to reconnect to an old wound regarding love or perhaps a friendship. This aspect may also encourage sexual activity. For some, squabbles may develop during the Capricorn Moon with a focus on money or business. Mayer there are broad differences of opinion about how to manage things: how to run a business, how to run the family, how to get to work. The pressure is on to get a job. This Capricorn Moon sign is not a good time for signing papers or agreeing to anything. Avoid final decisions for Tuesday and most of the business hours on Wednesday.

There is a void of course Moon from 4:35 pm until the Moon enters Aquarius - and that’s not until 5:42 am on Thursday morning. As far as Wednesday night goes, I would say it probably is a little lighter energy than what has been before. Maybe it is time to cool off and back off and let people contemplate. Have them comeback into the circle of communication later.

Beginning Thursday September 8th, the Moon enters Aquarius, but conditions don’t fully improve until Friday. Things turn out better and you’ll see positive results if you wait to initiate things until after Friday’s Mercury event - when Mercury enters the sign of Virgo. But before that a couple of things happen. Mercury is opposite Neptune, and Mercury is at the very last degree of Leo. While it is opposite Neptune you forget things, you loose things, you leave things out. You could be loosing your papers you could be loosing your mind. Could feel like you are loosing your mind and your communications may be misinterpreted. Someone may be lying to you. You may think someone is lying to you when they are not. You could have a misconception of a lot of things where the smallest details are allusive in many, many ways. You miss the mark, the train could derail. That aspect occurs exactly at 11:25 am, but it will govern most of what we feel for Thursday morning, and a good part of Thursday afternoon. Then there is an aspect between Jupiter and Ceres at 5:04 pm. Ceres is the dwarf planet and she rules supplies and food and caretaking of family members and children, and Jupiter is at a 45 degree aspect to Ceres. They are very comfortable with one another, Jupiter and Ceres. They help each other out - when they are in this aspect they are not being very helpful. So this means that there may be blocks or limits in the way of what you imagine that you need, or how you think you need to get it. The doors may be open or not, and there may be shortages of supplies. Jupiter is retrograde as well, and so is Ceres. Jupiter is in the sign of Taurus and Ceres is in the sign of Pisces – both of them retrograde. So both of them are functioning at a loss or disadvantage. Later on in the evening on Thursday the Sun and Saturn form a 30 degree aspect. The Sun is behind Saturn, so the Sun has some information about difficulties in regard to any administration, or to those in charge, or the father figures, or the health of fathers and the health of people who are infirmed. Also anything having to do with the knees or the skin. Then Venus and Saturn form an aspect 10:59 pm. This has to do with the temporary joining of possibly financial indicators coming together to put a band-aid on something. Send some relief in - some financial relief in for specific one time type of event. Venus and Saturn also have to do with a difference in age regarding couples. People may temporarily come together. Don’t make any long term commitments based on those unions. During all this time, there is a period called a refranation. Which means there is going to be a planet that changes signs, and that will be at 1:58 am on Friday morning when Mercury enters Virgo. This refers to a grey zone that can be too tricky to handle. You might notice that something gets dropped, something gets lost, someone makes a statement, then changes their mind. You may decide to do something and then change your mind. You may write something and then want to retract it. You may say something and also want to retract that. So be careful about putting anything out there in a real definitive way before Mercury changes signs and enters the sign of Virgo on Friday.
When Mercury does enter Virgo you have a green light. So go ahead and move forward with confidence knowing you have the right information, you’re well organized, you are able to start building a structure and designing things with the proper information. Following that, there is a quincunx between the Moon and the Sun – (that means we are headed for a Full Moon September 12.) The quincunx is at 1:37 pm on Friday. That’s a 150 degree angle - I call it life’s messy - clean it up. Something happens, which causes you to have to stop everything and deal with a mess of some sort. Adjust and get ready to bring things out into the open in a big way when the Full Moon arrives Monday 9/12.

On Friday Mercury and Neptune are in a split parallel aspect. This means there a temporary reconnect with some type of intuitive notion. This could bring a bit of wild weather. The combo of Mercury and Neptune brings high winds and wet weather for Friday afternoon in particular, but it does govern the whole day. Then for Friday evening Mercury and Saturn form at a 45 degree aspect. This is a worry aspect. Expect to think something through very seriously, or you may have a problem sorting things out, and missing important connections. At 7:39 pm this aspect is exact. Saturn is in the sign of Libra and Mercury in its new sign of Virgo. So Mercury definitely wants to organize. Both of them are in very good signs: Mercury rules the sign of Virgo and Saturn is exalted in the sign of Libra, so it can’t be too bad. You still have a green light so keep forging forward – and that goes for Saturday September 10th as well.
There are a couple of aspects, mostly aspects with asteroids and Chiron. The Sun for instance is split parallel with Chiron, which indicates a way to put a band-aid on your bruised ego, or your Achilles heel. There is some wound or some pain, some therapeutic way that helps to treat an issue, particularly a physical issue. Then Uranus has that same aspect split parallel with Juno. Well this is a sudden abrupt change with relationships, with partnerships or with your idea of such things, and also it may involve some type of experiment that rises to the top or reaches up beyond expectation. Mars and Ceres form a beautiful trine at 12:24 pm. This aspect lights a fire under the pot in a good way. This has a positive influence on perhaps finding day care for your children or starting school - anything having to do with finding the supplies that they need, and also for finding caregivers for infirmed or children. Look out for the animals in particular with the aspect at 12:30 in the afternoon when Mercury and Chiron are opposite. This is very difficult, very hard on animals, especially when they are out on the road or you run a collision with them. Perhaps there is a rabid animal out that is causing problems with children. So you want to be very careful of wild animals and also listen very carefully to your own animals. As far as children go, they may have special needs -take notice. The Moon is void of course on Saturday after it’s conjunction with Neptune at 1:31 pm, - until 3:26 pm, when the Moon enters the sign of Pisces, which give us an excellent Moon sign again. Pisces Moon sign ends with a split parallel to Saturn bringing favorable results with a green light during that whole period from Saturday the 10th at 3:26 pm until Tuesday at 2:20 am when the Moon is in the sign of Pisces. So move forward with that time period as well. That’s it for the week.

Sat Aug 20 2011 – Sat Aug 27 2011 - audio report
Transcribed from the audio version of the WZBC 90.3 radio report Saturday August 20th at 9:30 AM.
Good morning. We have a whole lot of things going on. One of the things is a sense that we are blocked which is accompanied by a feeling of frustration. Often this is accompanied by hard energy, hard work, and difficulties. This is defined by a square between Mars and Saturn that’s coming up on Thursday morning 8/25/11. It appears that many blocks are related to family situations regarding work and the economy and more. Mars is in the sign of Cancer. Saturn is in the sign of Libra leading to difficult issues with relationships on all levels whether the issues stem between countries down to individuals. We might be facing changes in decisions that have been made about the design of our family structure. You may be looking at how to move along with business and adapt to the rapid changes. Events have an urgency or suddenness such as people being fired, people quitting, people dying and things turn upside down in the four corners of our lives; i.e. me vs. you and home vs. career. That is what’s happening with a surprise element to it. The back drop planetary aspect to all of this is the Uranus square Pluto (both planets are currently retrograde. Uranus is the ruler of the surprise element. Pluto rules all the deep subjects and then, here comes Mars and Saturn in a difficult square. Actually after this aspect is complete we may feel like there is a break in this mood and the changes that come about might feel increasingly more open, hopefully so.
8/20/11 For Saturday we have a Taurus Moon. The Taurus Moon is filled with the kind of activities that focus on family and tradition and the things we want to remain the same. This Taurus Moon has several complications involved with it. One of the things is that Venus will change signs saying that there is an important female that leaves the situation or changes her mind. There is actually a squabble between the Taurus Moon and Venus that is not voiced because the Venus person changes their mind or leaves before the conflict is addressed. Later the Moon will square Neptune before it leaves the sign. All of which says issues are large regarding money and love. Any attempt to change the plans of the foundation of important things which are traditional or kind of etched in stone by the family might fail. There is this distracted or disruptive quality to matters on Saturday. For today and tonight I think that if there should be pleasantness to it, as Taurus usually accompanies lots of good food and pleasant surroundings.
8/21/2011 Sunday there is an aspect between Venus and Saturn early in the morning and it is difficult in regards to relationships. It can feel a bit depressing. That’s another thing people have been complaining about is that sense of depression of which I contribute to the Mars-Saturn square. I believe when this square begins to separate the complaints of depression will begin lift.
Again for Sunday when we have that Taurus Moon the other aspects are the Sun in Neptune, they form a split parallel. Then Venus in Neptune will oppose. This is some sort of confusion. This could be something on television in a big way. Something to do with a woman leaving a position- Maybe it is Hillary Clinton, I don’t know. Perhaps an important female makes a change or makes a statement in some way that is important. There is a quarter Moon at 5:54 pm. It is a Last Quarter Moon at 28 degrees of Taurus. This one has the Sun right at that Mars-Saturn midpoint with an emphasis going on: Something being cut off, something being done, something finishing or being thrown out in some way. Mercury is still retrograde - so all these things are subject to reversals. That will be a help, especially if you are not pleased with the outcome. Venus does change signs on Sunday evening at 6:10 pm. You may have a different picture after that event. You learn what the issues were. So this star person, this woman or this person, who is in a very favorable position in a star position, moves into a service position. Things become a little more focused on work and money for work and things of that nature. The Sun and Ceres make a 150 degree aspect. This often refers to matters about children and food and cycles and perhaps there is more news about shortages including medication. Maybe there are ways to replenish the shelves: the food shelves, the medication shelves. Also look after kids very closely and pets very closely as well with that quincunx. Then the Moon changes signs after the void of course Moon period which is from 7:59PM Sunday until 8:52PM on Sunday night.
Then the Moon enters Gemini. The Gemini Moon is also complicated. No green light for now. Not today, not tomorrow (Sunday), and not on Monday. Because there are too many issues going on that make it expensive and costly in so many different ways. Your head could be churning around and around due to a 1:24AM aspect on Monday morning when Mercury is in a 135 degree aspect to Pluto. Those things get sorted out so try to let that go. Try to meditate on a positive outcome or chant your way into a sleep so that you can get some rest and deal with the day. There is some heavy energy with the Sun and Saturn at 12:12PM with a 45° semi-square. This aspect indicates locking horns with authority figures or finding that you feel there is more or you want to move forward and are aware of the blocks. It’s also a high point of a difficult Mars-Saturn aspect. But that Mars Saturn aspect is not all bad. It does bring about some agreements between people, long term agreements and commitments and the Sun-Saturn aspect on Monday afternoon could signal a change in an authority position. It will force an issue to budge off a stalemate position. There are a couple of more Sun aspects. At 5:06PM the Sun and Mercury join together (conjunction) for long term introduction or long term agreements brought to the table. Avoid sign papers if you can until after Tuesday morning at 7:20 in the morning. Take it home and read it over. Just stall until you are able to get that green light on Tuesday with room for revisions because Mercury remains retrograde.

8/22/11 For Monday the Sun and Neptune oppose at 7:25 pm. Indicating a significant blind spot presents a problem. This begins foggy confusion and twisted or missing information. It can also do that to the weather. You might be attempting to take direct action or feel or find out later that you are actually seriously lost. So wait on that. Also there is a chance to feel you are being swept off your feet with little knowledge of the other person: Such as your knight in shinning armor is very temporary or is about to leave or change their situation. It is possible that they are about to leave an existing mate and be available for another agenda later. But I would not want to step into that while that change was going on. The positive view of the Sun opposite Neptune is that it always seems to bring an anesthetic effect. You don’t want to trust it to make any plans or etch anything in stone. So once again wild weather would be expected for Monday night, could even be Tuesday.

8/23/11 For Tuesday the Gemini Moon is still with us. Venus and Neptune align once again this time in a split parallel and that aspect is romantic. It has sort of a dreamy view of how plans should take place. Jupiter and Palace Athena align: so these are the smart ones, the wisdom makers, 7:14AM- that will last all day long. Helps you to find good counsel, sort things through, and also it can be a lucky charm in many ways. Then the Sun enters Virgo at 7:20AMand this is until the 23rd of September. We have a Virgo Sun. That helps us get down to business, Return to work, and look for matters to be moving in the right direction. There is a very nice aspect between Mercury and Venus at 12:18 pm. Last week we saw them conjunct. Here they are conjunct sort of once again when they align in a parallel configuration. This allows for long term meetings. People that you meet you could take it to your future. These are positive relationships that are being built with this aspect. Also these could make for very favorable conditions for signing things. So this is your green light day with that Mercury Venus aspect. All the bright ideas that emerge you’ll be able to present them to the boss. The boss asks to see these bright ideas be put into action. There is a call for meetings of the minds share ideas at the table and try to work things out. You may become aware of new avenues, new people, helpful support and possibly romance with that Mercury and Venus. Conversations seem to flow easily and new plans can be made. Late night Tuesday there might be a call out of the blue with a message linked to a story you’ve been trying to decipher. The aspect is Mercury and Neptune in a split parallel. Mercury is retrograde so some of these pieces of information are fragments of things that might allow you to put two and two together.

8/24/11 Wednesday. There is a void of course Moon period Wednesday morning from 5:33AMuntil 6:30 in the morning when the Moon enters cancer. The Cancer Moon is another green light period. So we have a couple of days there to move forward. So what ever it is you’re planning on doing with the family or with people who are close. Cancer Moons are great for insider information. If you’ve been invited into a circle or if you have any invitations at all that are outside family then that means they consider you very close, insider. If there are family issues, there might be somewhat of a coming together surround the issues of problems from the past. With Mercury headed towards it stationary point there could be decisions that are made in regard to family plans maybe moving, moving older family members into places that are better suited for them. There is a Venus and Uranus aspect 7:20 pm. This may be a call to action from close friends. You might feel as though you are compelled to help. The problem might mean there is a medical issue and there also could be a need for lending cash or borrowing cash, may be even from a friend. So money could be or cost could be an issue. At 8:48PM on Wednesday Saturn and Neptune are at a 135 degree aspect. That is a cranky one. It always accompanies a shift, a change in oil prices. We see now that oil prices are falling right on time. We very often see things occur, especially with Saturn and Neptune; those slow moving planets a good week ahead if time. In our own lives you might see the business fluctuations which affect the foundation of daily needs. The Saturn and Neptune aspect might support a release of that creative block. That’s a positive turn that allows you to see past or create paths. That is part of what much of this major shift is about. Along with the square between Uranus and Pluto we are reinventing who we are and how we live. This is the time to make room for a whole new way of life.

8/24/11 For Thursday the Cancer Moon lightens up as the day moves on. We start out with a couple of tough aspects: first Mars and Neptune form a 135° aspect. This is an indication of wet, foggy and cloudy weather or the same describes the surrounding issues of matters or ideas. This is early in the morning but it will influence the day because of the fact Mars is square Saturn and Saturn in Neptune still maintain their configuration from Wednesday so Mars is just setting that off and the Moon is in with it. So boy, it should be kind of a busy day. Lots of news makers on that day. There also could be matters about money that reveal themselves or release if you have been trying to find money: Because there is a real good aspect at the end of the Cancer Moon aligns with Pluto, which can be described as Mr. Money Bags. Hopefully there is an opening to make that connection. Although there are ties attached to it with Venus and Pluto in an aspect at 7:12 pm. With this aspect you may gain enough money to repay some debts and have some left over for some personal pleasures. During the void of course Moon period Mercury and Uranus may startle your late night with an abrupt voice or the sound of things that go-bump-in-the-night as retrograde Mercury and retrograde Uranus twist or toss something. This could be twist of conversation, or an animal needs your assistance in the middle of the night. You’re going to want to try to take things as lightly as possible. Tend to whatever needs that you need to take care of: maybe the kids wake up, need to say something in the middle of the night. There are soothing changes coming up that show that things will work out later. The Moon is void of course from 10:29 PM after it is split parallel to Pluto until Friday afternoon.

8/26/11 For Friday is the day that Mercury turns direct, but not until 6:02 pm. The Moon is void of course really starting from Thursday night at 10:29PM right until 12:08PM on Friday. In case you are wondering what that means; a void of course Moon period a break in activity in some way. Many subjects are unpredictable preventing you from making solid decisions. You might view a v/c period as creative play from the universe which at times can present positive new things during void of course Moons. It is a good idea to let things come to you and avoid direct actions such as signing papers or making important purchases during a void of course Moon period. The Moon is v/c all of Friday morning. Then the Moon arrives in the sign of Leo. The Leo Moon is complicated and risky this time around because of major unforeseen complications. There reason being is that the Moon will oppose Neptune indicating that we’re missing something in the big picture. Or some of the information is either wrong or lied about. If deceit is present it could be revealed. With Mercury about to turn direct a voice emerges with what really happened. The Mercury direct station occurs at 18° Leo and it reflects on the period around the earthquake in Turkey in 1999. Another reference is in 2009 when there was a lunar eclipse in February of that year. This marked when President Obama was struggling to fill his cabinet posts after the inauguration. He took office, by the way during a Venus retrograde period. Venus is one of the rulers of the economy. When he took office it was on the verge of collapse. Bush practically turned the office over to the elected president before he was sworn in. Certainly we continue to struggle with the economy and the many stalemates in government. That’s it for the week. It’s busy and complicated. Good luck.

Mercury is Retrograde. This is a big week for creative and very personal desires.

2011-08-13T11:01:00.000-04:00

The Sun, Venus and Mercury take the stage for something special on Tuesday. This adds to the likelihood of introductions and love connections. Choose your direction in life or find your voice with this brilliant trio at 24th degree of Leo.
___________________________________________
Saturday Aug 13. The Aquarius Moon is Full and bright in the sky. At 2:57 PM the exact moment of the Full Moon occurs at 20° Aquarius 41'. This is a good time to reach out to an audience or connect with friends and old loves. In my book Lunar Shadows III you can find a full description of the meaning of a Full Moon. Learn what people want during this time along with the best use of this type of energy, in Chapter 2. Full Moons come with a history and this one dates back to Feb 14, 2010. There was more to the story in Nov 13, 2010 and now it comes out into the open. The last piece of this story is revealed in nine months at the Last Quarter Moon May 12, 2012. You may also find connections to a solar eclipse that occurred nearly this point Feb 1999 or even the solar eclipse on Feb 2008 can be connected. This Full Moon is tightly connected, by a 45° angle, to this past week's Mars-Uranus-Pluto configurations. If you were not effect then you may become broadly aware of what it means to you over the next couple of days as the Full Moon shines light on relevant issues and exposes the voice of the people; the direction of a particular group or organization and presents a political bandwagon. There are a couple of aspects to note for Saturday night both involving Venus. Venus is at odds with Pluto when jealousy strikes and money is the only thing left to battle over. Later the marriage indicator, Juno is at odds with Venus. The marriage may be tossing around its embedded problems. This is not a good aspect to engage in a new relationship. The Aries Moon on Tuesday, Wednesday are best.

___________________________________________
Sunday Aug 14. There are iffy results to your efforts on this day. The Aquarius Moon ends with a conjunction to retrograde Neptune. The result of this Moon sign could be a wash or magical but realize there are no magic carpet rides without a hitch. The void of course Moon begins at 8:25 AM until 8:54 AM.

Again for Sunday Aug 14. After the Moon enters Pisces start a Green Light Day. The Moon enters Pisces at 8:54 AM and acts like a lucky charm with two and a half days of positive energy to move forward. Nothing stands in the way of what you need. Remember others that need your support during this Pisces Moon period through Tuesday night.

___________________________________________
Monday Aug 15. A Green Light Day. The Pisces Moon is uncomplicated by too many planetary aspects. There is a split parallel of the Sun and Ceres. This places the focus on food supplies and services to those in need.

___________________________________________
Tuesday Aug 16. A Green Light Day. This is a big day for the personal planets when The Sun Mercury and Venus all join at the 24th degree of Leo. It appears as a shinny piece of gold or a new star arrives. However the past is represented by the Pisces Moon. After the Moon is 150° quincunx the Sun, it enjoys a fine conjunction of the Sun and Venus at 8:07 AM. Love, money, sweets and rich foods. This day may have an air of fun and playfulness. A need to express your love, appreciation and affections are a priority with this conjunction. There is a desire to socialize and there are strong powers of attraction of love, enjoyment of aesthetics; harmony, creativity, and the arts and a desire to take action in these areas. There is a receptive friendliness in the air. There is a promotion of positive emotions and expressions of love. There is a desire to join with others. For personal relationships of both intimate or friendship, there may be more social opportunities for meeting new people that might become important you for many years. If they are people you have been involved with before, even better as Mercury is retrograde. It is time to make esthetic choices. All choices come from the heart. Get exactly what you want. In business you might choose this time to enhance your public and business relations. Have a sale and show your best work. Use art, color and entertainment for a positive long lasting impression.
The void of course Moon period begins when the Moon makes its final aspect and this will be at 1:07 PM until 8:01 PM. when split parallel to Saturn. Something is given serious consideration which could be revealed on Wednesday. There are good advisors around but talk of discord makes people choose between loyalties and a winning ticket. Some may try to draft a front runner from the past. Later retrograde Mercury joins Venus at 24° Leo at 7:20 PM. This is a significant aspect that signals a turn of direction. We may all find ourselves faced with an important decision. Taking action may be a process and not an event. Someone finds their voice and moves along an important route. Maybe a woman emerges as the most powerful voice. The Pisces v/c period may not be a hindrance for success as there is unusual support from private benefactors.

Sticking with Tuesday Aug 16. The Moon enters Aries at 8:01 PM and brings a few good green light days through 7:49 AM on Friday Aug 16. The Aries Moon brings another very lucky green light after 8:01 PM. There is a terrific opportunity to move forward with an idea. If you are able to launch something for the second time around you have a lucky charm with the Sun and Jupiter aligned with a nice long term parallel (exact at 10:02 PM). Mercury is retrograde and conjunct the Sun at 9:03 PM. Statements and announcements are made that could be reversed later. Those announcing candidacy for office under retrograde Mercury might struggle to stay in the race. Those taking their first shot at something or filing a court case first time around may fail.

___________________________________________
Wednesday Aug 17. Green Light. Great Day for Mercury retrograde. Try whatever you have tried before and failed or just want to try again. The Aries Moon wants to move things right along and there are a couple of snags. For one the couple, money and drive are not a good match as they battle over ego and family obligations or the man who wants children and the woman who enjoys her career when Venus and Mars clash at 45° angle at 12:26 AM. Later the Sun and Mars (45°) crank up the heat and add anger to the mix at 3:06 PM. At 9:24 PM Mars and Vesta which are both traveling out-of-bounds (oob) in renegade territory collide from two totally different camps. They might decide to work together on a hot project. Or you might just need a new stove. This pair can create large flames and with the Aries Moon to fan the blaze. Mars remains oob until Aug 21 and Vesta does not come back into the corral until Oct 31. Investments could be profitable in the short run.

___________________________________________
Thursday Aug 18- Green Light Day. Aries Moon is anxious to get the ball rolling and has a great opportunity to succeed with Mars and Jupiter at a 60° angle. This is positive Try again. Look for work in the field that you love with the help of Venus and Ceres aligned for seal the deal. Ceres can be the glue that bonds. Venus can be the money, friend or lover.

___________________________________________
Friday Aug 19- The Aries Moon is great up until 7:49 AM when it goes void of course until 8:36 AM. If you can rise early and send off important messages or head out on your trip before the v/c period you bring that momentum into your day.

Still on Friday Aug 19 -The Moon enters Taurus at 8:36 AM until next Sunday night and the mood changes. Do not sign or agree to anything important as disappointment and vanishing resources are likely. There is not another green light period in sight until Tuesday morning Aug 23. For Friday the Taurus Moon is haunted by the whims of Neptune; bringing a layer of confusion or disappointment over the primary issues which tend to be money or family values during a Taurus Moon sign. Something disappears or fails to participate or perform. A lucky break presents itself at 6:00 PM when Venus and Jupiter (parallel) gain the support they have been seeking perhaps with money or social standing but risk it not at the cost of those that have been there all along. This aspect does make this day good for a one time only event where you have no expectations. A lottery ticket is an example of a small investment without great consequence. Enjoy and play on this day for the best use of this energy.

___________________________________________
Saturday Aug 20. The Taurus Moon is not favorable for major decisions. Taurus is great for food and simple pleasures.

___________________________________________
Sunday Aug 21- First Quarter Moon at 5:54 PM at 28° Taurus 29'. Taurus Moon signals a squabble with Venus in Leo and attempts to challenge her but Venus leaves the sign before the Moon gets a chance. Venus represents the money or a woman with a high standing or high profile to step into a service role.

After the Sun enters Virgo Tues 7:39 AM Green Light.

Mars will square Uranus Tuesday then oppose Pluto Thursday

2011-08-08T18:42:00.000-04:00

Monday August 8, 2011. Mercury goes back into Leo. That releases the grip of the Sagittarius Moon that temporarily is holding its focus on Mercury, and what that does is give us a green light after 5:46 am. That means you can move forward, although there is a lot of caution. I think of this period as if there is a Jack-in-the-box on Tuesday. So watch out. It is very dangerous. And what we have again with that Mercury the first thing it does is goes back and opposes Neptune once again. Mercury was within a degree of an opposition to Neptune when it turned retrograde last Tuesday the 2nd of August. The aspect was locked in holding pattern in opposition to Neptune Indicating the blind spots. Often this describes the things we can’t speak of, we can’t see and we can’t touch. Be cautioned about because the lies that are common with Mercury opposite Neptune. There are missing papers and missing information. We are talking Monday. It might be a hard day to make a plan for travel. If you are buying your ticket on Monday, and if you are planning on traveling later in the week, you may want to change those plans for several reasons. It is a very dangerous week for travel. Especially in places of bus stations, airports, any transit port would be under the Sagittarius Moon, a rather difficult place to be. At 10:27 am Mercury is opposite that Neptune on Monday. Mars and Palace Athena are in at odds when some information flies out of nowhere that could possibly help a situation or fuel a battle of some sort that’s 11:10 am. (London’s ablaze with rioters.) For the rest of Monday we have that green light, which I hold with caution because on Tuesday at 12:33 pm Mars is square Uranus.
Now here’s the thing with Mars square Uranus. For one thing it happens while it is in the Moon sign of Sag. Sagittarius is clumsy at best with very high energy; the type that burns the wheels right off the tires. It’s extreme, it’s sudden, it’s filled with surprise, which could include spontaneous fires, or firing, some nut with a gun will fire. The bigger thing about this Mars square Uranus is that it sets off the square once again with Pluto and later on in the week Mars will oppose Pluto. This is called a T-square.
A little breakdown of the square aspect between Pluto and Uranus is that Pluto represents the powers that be. Uranus represents kind of the powers that want to be – because they are the rebel force. They have their own truth. They want to disrupt the status quo. And they will do anything to create it – it’s the making of revolutions. This aspect is with us right up to 2015. There will be 7 events of Uranus square Pluto. So it is really a tough aspect to try and navigate. We have to learn to get used to this energy and be in a position to respond quickly and look at things in a different light. Because there will be a lot of things coming to light: Where Pluto has held down situations, conditions, economic forces and government in one way; then Uranus comes along and says lets expose this for what it really is. This next four years will be interesting to say the least and it will be eventful. So keep an eye out for Tuesday. And like I said, if you are planning on traveling, just be mindful of what is going on around you. There is an aspect on Tuesday afternoon at 4:24 pm – the Moon is sextile Neptune. This aspect presents an opportunity to see things differently, to call on support and help, and Neptune at its better position. Tuesday again the Moon changes signs goes into Capricorn at 4:37 pm and the Capricorn Moon for the rest of the day is pretty uneventful. However there is not one day that will be uneventful this week. Capricorn is all about business but this is not business as usual with all of this activity. There are a lot of things that we need to get down to business and try and make things right.
For Wednesday August 9, 2011, Uranus is opposing Juno. This is where couples break off ties. And the couples could be countries. There are other forces, such as Ceres returning to Pisces which is about the suffering and starving children. Medical procedures and visits with the people that we care for, the old people, the food on the shelves, and all that sort of thing. Ceres has a lot do to with anything that is dead serious. But going back into Pisces is definitely trying to recover and recoup the kinds of things like food supplies, try to help those that are in hospitals and otherwise infirmed. Among many other things, child care issues are likely to be large. Later on it’s Juno again. This time it’s Saturn in a split parallel aspect to Juno for a temporary fix to a relationship problem. Matters should end well with the Capricorn Moon as the final aspect of the Moon will parallel Pluto in the end. You might be tied to the devil for a time but its for the best. That will be on Thursday at 10:13 am beginning a void of course Moon period.
The void Moon period opens the door to a whole lot of things going on behind the scene earlier in that day on Thursday. At 1:14 am the big event: Mars opposing Pluto. This puts these two figures, Mars is the action planet Pluto is the money bags and powers that be. They are on opposing sides of the zodiac. And this aspect can be detrimental to the body or the body of any organization or the body of any particular any type of thing that has a body. In the case of Pluto, in this case while square to Uranus it considers packing its 6 guns with the taunting needles from Uranus. So it is really quite a week. I hate to be the deliverer of bad news. But it certainly looks like there is some pure revolutionary energy brewing. It signals also what could be done. There is a signal that there is tourniquet that is put on to try and stop the bleeding. That is at 1:57 am when the Moon and the Sun are in that 150° aspect. It’s a quincunx and it means that something needs to be attended to immediately. Hopefully we will be sleeping here on the east coast and it will fly right over our heads. For later on in the morning, Mercury and Saturn at 8:46 am form a 45° aspect, which is an indicator that there are some problems, as we all know, that need to be exposed. This is Saturn and Libra and Mercury is in the sign of Leo and retrograde. We are likely to be going back over old issues and rehashing things. Once again your might be saying “I’m so tired of talking about the same thing”. There are a couple of things going on during the void of course Moon: Mars is attempting to make an investing plan or investors plan. Also Jupiter and Ceres get together to try to bail out a problem; as Jupiter in mythology came to the aid of Ceres when she was in her greatest hour of greatest need. For Thursday night a void of course Moon period ends at 11:47 pm when the Moon enters Aquarius. The Aquarius Moon is a time this month when there will be a full Moon next Saturday. But for Friday we have the Moon sign ends with a conjunction to Neptune. I call that pea soup. It’s not really a green light. It has a lot of hidden problems with it. So there is some good stuff, some bad stuff on Friday. Some things you just don’t know or just cannot trust. At 12:20 am there is that spark of truth with a back lash as the Sun and retrograde Uranus are 135° apart. This type of aspect also reveals embedded problems and tends to be treated with a band-aid. Also late night on Friday Venus moves into the same aspect to Uranus. This exposes sudden problems within personal relationships, also again with money. Those are things near and far – as far foreign countries go. By Friday we are under the Full Moon energy in a big way. The energy is high and volatile. As a result be really careful this week. As with any Full Moon it is a deadline time. Get something done, get a lot done, wrap it up and put it out there. Even if it’s going to be a rough ride, hang on and put your seat belt on
I have a Class that has moved from Monday night. No more Monday night. We are now meeting on Wednesday night. This Wednesday night we will be meeting and discussing in particular this Mars opposite Pluto and square Uranus energy. It is a very interesting set of events and we will of course discuss what ever else comes along. You may reach me for consultation. And I’m offering a special for consultations. So call me about my special. Special price that’s at 617-924-0929.

Mercury is Retrograde and Mars sets of the Uranus Pluto Square

2011-08-08T18:39:00.000-04:00

Good morning. For Saturday August 6, 2011 the Moon is in Scorpio and there is a 1st Qtr Moon. This has to do with the sad state of affairs actually that we’re hearing about the debt. The United States has been downgraded now from a no risk country to invest in. so now this is going to affect all of us. The credit rating being down graded is a very difficult situation. The seed to this story goes back to a New Moon in Scorpio 9 months ago at the mid-term election in November. The lot of new people that came into the government came with a different agenda. It appears that their goal is not to govern but to dismantle the government. With the nature of the pressure of the Uranus and Pluto square, this can be a treacherous time period in attempt to put the country back together. The rest of the story is yet to come in 9 months and the payoff is 9 months after that. In 9 months there will be a Full Moon on May 5, 2012 then a Last Quarter Moon in Scorpio on February 3, 2013.
In our personal lives we might be dealing with things like births and deaths and anything having to do with the regeneration process, trying to gather resources, doing a lot of research and entering into monetary agreements with others. There is a lot of positive energy for digging in deeply and making an attempt to renew an old process.

We have retrograde Mercury and its theme is to renew, review and redo. It is the retake that gets the green light. Listen closely, more forward after researching your topic very thoroughly. Many subjects that have been initiated under the Mercury retrograde have the potential to be reversed once Mercury turns direct after August 26, 2011. Hopefully that will be the case that this won’t be a forever long term thing.
For Sunday August 7 the Scorpio Moon continues. Its final aspect is a conflict with Neptune in a square at 11:13 am and that begins a void of course Moon period. You want to avoid any commitment Saturday and Sunday and Monday morning. Between now and then there are a lot of difficult traps with Neptune at the end of Aquarius it creates a great big pile of traps. That is likely to create a very sticky set of situations. If you enter into loans you may really regret it right through until Monday.
The other aspects that we have under the Scorpio Moon Venus is opposite Vesta now. Vesta is the investor. Venus is the money maker. The two of them at odds really describes this down grading of the US credit rating. Then the Sun and Palace Athena: Palace Athena is the Goddess of wisdom. So they are aligned together in a long term aspect called a parallel. And this will help the situation considerably if they put all the good minds together and try and work through these current issues. For us on a personal level, that creates a greater bonding with our partners, to be able to get together and pull things in the right direction.
For Sunday at 11:20 am The Sagittarius Moon begins. During Sunday’s activity there are a couple of things. Retrograde Mercury goes back and hits Ceres with a 150° quincunx. Ceres is the goddess of food and supplies and children and care taking. This 150° aspect I call it life’s messy - clean it up aspect. So there might be things about the care of children that seem to be cut back or cut off. Also those that are aged and infirmed may have a hard time with that aspect trying to get their situation stabilized. This aspect may reveal some sad stories for kids and pets.So take extra care of your little ones.
Later on Sunday Venus and Saturn make a very nice aspect. This has to do with organizing an opportunity to repair and create a bridge especially with economic conditions or anything having to do with couples. Now people who were trying to split may decide they need to stay together – that what that aspect might be uncovering that it is cheaper to stay together than it is to split. So they may rearrange their relationships in another way instead of moving out of the house.

Report for July 30 2011 - August 6 2011

2011-07-30T14:07:00.000-04:00

_________________________________________________________
Saturday July 30 2011. The Cancer Moon changes to Leo at 2:15 AM. Stationary Mercury in Virgo and Ceres at a very loud zero Aries are at 150° angle of which lingers through August 9. Both planets are positioned at the zero degree make of their signs signals an urgency. As usual when Ceres is involved the matters are dead serious. This aspect speaks to not only the debt crisis but the fear that is associated with the possible losses. It is an aspect that relies bits and pieces of information about a critical situation. With Mercury at the point where it will turn retrograde on Tuesday August 2, 2011 - the great Debt Ceiling deadline the need for a decision could not be more serious. Ceres turned retrograde on July 26 and remains stuck at zero Aries until August 10. Other big changes occur this week when Mars reaches zero Cancer and Neptune backs up into Aquarius one more time on August 4.

New Moon at 7° Leo 15' at 2:39 PM. Dark Moon period for another twelve hours beyond that time. The Leo New Moon brings to mind the solar eclipse that occurred near the same point in August of 2008. You may recognize recurring themes from that time. Jupiter in Taurus objects to the New Moon with a 90^ square and Mercury is near to a stop in the first degree of Virgo. Something needs to be reconsidered. The information you have is short and you can expect large changes to be revealed. The big debt ceiling hold-up is designed to force the President to fail. You may feel your personal situation is a setup or you are operating with you hands behind your back. There are advances that can be made although in the dark. Continue to be cautious about your decisions until Sunday afternoon.

_________________________________________________________
Sunday July 31. A green light day with caution. The Moon is in Leo picks up some momentum as it travels at a fast pace. This hopefully helps the constricted state of affairs. Only one aspect occurs. Venus the ruler of love and money is 150° to Chiron the wounded healer at 9:22 PM. Perhaps this helps the situation in congress. For love, someone from the past may return unexpectedly with high expectations; evoke or provoking and emotional response. Just over the date line at 12:08 AM there may be a spontaneous resolve to these problems as Venus in Leo is a positive 120^ from Uranus in Aries.

_________________________________________________________
Monday August 1st. Leo Moon brings a few good green light hours to make something happen. At 12:08 AM Venus trine Uranus. The Moon is void of course from 2:19 AM until the Moon enters Virgo at 4:41 AM. The Virgo Moon holds its breath for two planetary changes under its watch; on Tuesday Mercury retrograde followed by Mars crossing over to Cancer on Wednesday morning.
As for the Virgo Moon the sign of hard work and cooperation exists. Although on the personal front avoid any final decisions that require your signature as it will be back up for review and possible regret later. The pressure might be released with the 10:41 AM square aspect of the Sun and Jupiter. This signals a shift in the political rhetoric. Over-enthusiastic notions may need to be tempered with the current pulse of activity. On the other hand a once silent voice may assume confidence. A general overload may be experienced, especially with work. An abundance of high principals are voiced. Necessity takes one into a variety of corners where new information leads to open doors. Strong need to spread out and experience space and freedom. In general a day for photography and purchasing camera equipment. Journalism and publishing and breaking news stories.
Plan a getaway trip that includes education. Get out and play. Consider critical reviews as a tool for growth. At 5:02 PM Venus and Pallas (the wise advisor) are at odds about money. At 7:49 PM Venus and Pluto are quincunx. This is a serious life's messy clean it up aspect that involves those that place pressure based on rank.
_________________________________________________________
Tuesday August 2. Debt Ceiling Deadline Day, Mercury retrograde at 11:50 PM is the astro-headliner with no other planetary activity that day. Maybe there is such a thing as an extension or they might have settled the crisis by now. Reversals and poor communication looms large over the situation.

Mercury is retrograde from 11:50 PM on August 2nd at 1° Virgo 12' through August 26 and 6:02 PM back to 18° Leo 41'. August 11 and August 24th birthdays activated by these positions.
Wednesday August 3. The difficult energy is not yet passed under this Virgo Moon. At 5:21 AM Mars enters Cancer. The sign of the United States, the state of actual currency and the home. The Moon is void of course from that point until 6:04 AM when the Moon enters Libra through Friday morning. This is a hold back couple of days as we wait for retrograde Neptune to make its change out of its home sign of Pisces and back into Aquarius on Thursday night.
_________________________________________________________
The Libra Moon on Wednesday sees two aspects by Mars; at 6:52 AM a nice trine to Neptune. This appears soothing but later at 9:21 PM Mars is square Ceres. Not soothing as this could indicate a heated situation about the need to care for others. Children should be watched very closely and your pets.

_________________________________________________________
Thursday August 4. Happy Birthday, Mr. President. Who may have a rest from all the recent grief. His solar return chart shows the point of 23° Sagittarius on the very peak of his solar return chart and a Libra Moon in the 8th house of debt is in a positive trine to Neptune in Aquarius. Retrograde Mercury is 60° to Mars at 7:19 PM. This is a day to hold back one again until 10:53 PM when Neptune backs up and changes signs where it will remain until February 3, 2012. Neptune once again calls the last shot being called by the planet at the latest degree of any sign unless the faster moving planets reach that very last place. On many occasions over the next several months there are positive green light days that will assist in forward motion. I personally think that matters have taken a turn for the worse while Neptune moved into its home sign of Pisces on April 4, 2011.
_________________________________________________________
Friday August 5. A green light in the morning up until 7:55 AM then the Moon is void of course after a trine to Neptune. Before that there are several big money aspects; Venus split parallel Pluto at 12:09 AM; Venus square Jupiter at 12:34 AM is a signal of overspending. This may be the day the debt limit is actually raised. Saturn is in a positive trine to Vesta (the investor) at 5:28 AM. Vesta rules housing and real estate business and all investments. On the largest scale this trine indicates the ease of the debt limit as all loans are also ruled by Vesta and the obligations are ruled by Saturn. The Sun opposes Vesta at 6:25 AM will show the problems with the investments and indicate the end of current limits. Finally the sun is in a positive 60° aspect at 6:47 AM. It continues to be a very busy day. The v/c period ends at 7:56 AM when the Moon enters Scorpio which is not harmoniously indicated with the final aspect square Neptune on Sunday morning. The Scorpio Moon is filled with financial traps and smoke screens.

_________________________________________________________
Saturday August 6. Hold back day. This is a difficult day to pin anything down involving money matters. Do not sign anything as you might regret it. There is a first quarter Moon at 13° Scorpio 39’ at 7:08 AM. This is an action day involving loans, debts and shared responsibilities. Someone in an important position passes.

Report for July 23 - 30, 2011

2011-07-24T08:57:00.000-04:00

Not until July 25 will the effects of the hot headed Mars begin to separate from the lunar nodes. This brings more accidents, blasts, fire and rage. This theme continues right through July 27 when the Moon and Mars align with the earth to form a little eclipse, referred to as an occultation at 12:55 PM. Move around with caution but expect to accomplish muscle tasks.
_______________________________________________
Saturday July 23. The Aries Moon saw the Sun enter Leo early this morning at 12:11 AM. The Sun will be in Leo until August 23. The Moon changed signs at 12:57 AM and made a square to the Sun at 1:01 AM bringing a Last Quarter Moon to reveal money matters from the past and the possibility of people that come together for family. At 6:23 AM Mercury and Saturn separated by 45° apart. 7:54 AM Sun quincunx Neptune brings the rain. 4:12 PM Sun trine Ceres.
_______________________________________________
Sunday July 24. Too many sad tales are brewing. The Taurus Moon is headed for bad news as it comes to and end on Monday morning. Try to let this day pass without making changes. There is an aspect between Mars and Jupiter at 3:06 AM. It's a 45° aspect that steps up anger and aggression, fires and blasts. This aspect continues to ignite matters involving money. Avoid people you know have a short fuse. A Taurus Moon enjoys time in the garden; a meal with a friend or loved ones and shopping. This is not a good shopping day however due to the final aspect of the Moon is square to Mercury. This is big for returns or squabbles about your purchase.
_______________________________________________
Monday July 25. The Taurus Moon is not happy when misunderstandings and losses spoil the plan at 9:11 AM. The Moon and Mercury are square at a sad point. The Moon will be void from 9:11 AM until 12:34 PM.

More for Monday July 25. At 12:34 PM the Moon enters Gemini for a couple of good days to pull off your schemes. Talk, connect and agree with others as the Sun and Moon are 60° apart at 5:37 PM. There is one important tough spot as Ceres, the indicator for children and their care, food and other necessary supplies make a strong plea at zero Aries while stationary over the next couple of days. Stories about children dominate the news.
_______________________________________________
Tuesday July 26. The Gemini Moon brings a multitude of stories. Many focus on children or caretakers which are ruled by Ceres at its stationary point at 10:54 AM. Ceres will travel in retrograde motion until November. Make decisions about the care of family members and address your diet issues.
_______________________________________________
Wednesday July 27. The Gemini Moon has a few good tricks up his sleeve and a Green light keeps this day moving toward positive outcomes. The Sun and Uranus come up with something new and shiny at 3:43 PM when they are 120° apart. There is a void Moon period that begins at 8:35 PM until 9:11 PM when the Moon enters Cancer. For the Cancer Moon - hold off for final choices until 1:58PM Thursday. The marriage indicator, Juno, enters Libra at 7:33 PM. This indicates a marriage of minds between partners. This is a good signal that your choices are moving in the right direction.
_______________________________________________
Wednesday July 27. The Moon enters Cancer at 9:11 PM. Hold off for final choices until 1:58PM Thursday. There is an occultation of the Moon and Mars at 12:55 PM EDT. This brings a greater emphasis to the hot qualities of Mars, now in Gemini. Mars in Gemini looses its way by sheer distraction. The working mechanism is overshadowed by an extreme emotional factor. The Sun and Uranus are 120° trine at 3:44 PM.

_______________________________________________
Thursday July 28. The Cancer Moon sees several aspects on Thursday and two planet changes. That is a little too busy for wise choices to run smoothly. There are too many control freaks trying to force their agenda on others. Although when all is said and done, there is a green light indicated after 1:58 PM. Here is the agenda. At 9:19 AM Mercury finds a problem with money and family arrangements when Mercury and Venus are 30° apart. Both planets are concealing their true intentions to leave the situation for better or different seats. Neptune (the smokescreen) and Juno (the partner) are not being honest at 10:31AM. Venus changes signs at 10:58 AM and enters Leo until August 21st. At 1:58 PM Mercury enters a compatible sign of Virgo where it gathers the necessary tools to tackle a big job. Mercury will not be in Virgo long as its retrograde takes it back to Leo by August 8. Make your choices by wise and slow methods as you may need to go back to an old spot before moving forward. Look at this period as a time to gather the facts and tools to make changes later. Set up a fund for future repairs. Later on for Thurs Venus and Neptune set a slippery tone for partner confusion when they form a 150° quincunx at 2:33 PM. That life's messy, clean it up is not pretty when it involves those you would rather trust. You may feel at a loss when dealing with disappointment in relationships. But not to worry as later Venus finds a new way to deal with loved ones or important alignments when she reaches a 60° aspect to Juno (the marriage maker). It might be a marriage of ideas or one that all can agree is better to be made then not. This looks like a day for policy makers to settle or battle more of their debt crisis.

On Thursday the Sun forms two aspects to Pluto. One for a temporary band aid at 4:59 PM (the Sun is split parallel to Pluto followed by a 150° quincunx between the pair. At 5:29 PM the 150° is a push toward a major clean-up involving the big earthmoving machines or control freaks. It might be an aspect of surprise motivation. Those holding the power behind the scenes may be forced to take a stand. At 11:28 PM Venus (love and money) and Ceres (care, support, supplies and services) appear to be relieved with the outcome as necessary monetary veins remain open.
_______________________________________________
Friday July 29. This is a green light day. The Moon is in sensitive Cancer as we deal with confusion presented by Mercury in Virgo and Neptune in Pisces which face off in opposition with some tall stories. Beyond the exposure of the man behind the smoke screen there could be storms of wild winds and water. The consultants called to assess are just for show or away from their desk when the Sun and Pallas Athena (wise one) oppose at 9:49 AM. If you chose a lawyer or advisor you might have better options after that point. The Cancer Moon is otherwise in a fine position with the Sun at 3:50 PM. Loose ends from the past come together nicely. This ends the strong Moon to planet aspects and begins a void period until 2:15 AM Saturday morning. The dark of the Moon period begins early Friday afternoon so it's best to make your choices and sign your aggreements early on.

_______________________________________________
Saturday July 30 2011. The Cancer Moon changes to Leo at 2:15 AM.

New Moon at 7° Leo 15' at 2:39 PM. Observe the dark Moon period for another twelve hours beyond that time and take in your experiences without major changes directed by you. The Leo New Moon brings to mind the solar eclipse that occurred near the same point in August of 2008. You may recognize recurring themes from that time. Jupiter in Taurus objects to the New Moon with a square and Mercury is nears to a stop in the first degree of Virgo. Something needs to be reconsidered. The information you have is short and you can expect large changes to be revealed.

_________________________________________________
Friday July 15. Full Moon at 2:40 AM at 22° Capricorn. See the Lunar Gestation Cycle page at Lunar-Shadows.com.
Since 4:29 PM Friday the Moon entered Aquarius. This Moon sign sees challenges between friends as Mercury and Uranus form a 135° cranky aspect. Equipment can be faulty. What you say could be misconstrued. Be a good listener without judgment. Respond don't react as the other side could reverse their position and you could be left out on a limb. Choose another day to move forward as Friday through Sunday are difficult ending with arguments and threats of loss to friendship and contracts.

_________________________________________________
Saturday July 16. Saturn rules Saturdays. The Aquarius Moon sign seems to be a trap for, he said she said. At the end of the sign the Moon runs into problems involving missing documents (Moon opposite Mercury) or you could be refused to pass through to the next stage due to technicalities. People scramble to find a safe base when all the points are perceived as trespassing. Good solid boundaries might be an anecdote. There is some comfort in light interaction during social settings but there could be uncomfortable moments. Three planetary aspects impact the day; Venus and Mars join in a parallel at 8:02 AM, with an all day influence, that allows partners to find solace in each other. 2:55 PM Venus is 135° Neptune for some shopping bliss that you may regret. Returns may not be an option. 9:08 PM Mercury and Pluto get tangled up in thick and heavy thoughts. There is a wise person that could help you get pass the toll gate temporarily. Feelings of being excluded might compromise an otherwise nice evening but take solace in the fact that you are not in the thick of the preverbal soup. It's a good movie night where you can let all this play out on the screen.

_________________________________________________
Sunday July 17. The Sun rules Sundays. The Aquarius Moon is headed for an opposition to Mercury at 8:23 AM that begins a voc Moon period all day. There is an exception which I will take with the Moon 150° Sun at 3:20 PM. This may be when the void Moon period actually begins. Use whatever comes up as a chance for damage control left from the influence of the recent Full Moon. This is similar to the insurance adjuster assessing damages.

_________________________________________________
Monday July 18. The Moon rules Mondays. The void Aquarius Moon period ends when the Moon enters Pisces on Monday at 1:12 AM. Relief from the recent intensity is found during the following couple of days. You have a solid Green Light to move forward all day Monday, through Tuesday and until 7:14 AM Wednesday morning. At 7:14 AM Wednesday is when the Pisces Moon forms a harmonious trine to the Sun bringing a sense of satisfaction and contentment and positive results all around. Often with a Sun - Moon trine there is a low action period as strong events wait for more dynamic energies. You may find yourself content to retreat in the Piscean style.

_________________________________________________
Tuesday July 19. Mars rules Tuesdays. Tuesday's Pisces Moon sees an opportunity for a short term investment when the Sun and Vesta (investments) find something worth further investigation. Mercury and Jupiter agree with a parallel and open doors and easily allow you to make the right connections. You may be in a position to help someone in a tight spot just by showing up.

_________________________________________________
Wednesday July 20. Mercury rules Wednesdays. The Pisces Moon continues to give a Green Light for your activities until the void Moon at 7:14 AM. The void period ends at 12:25 PM when the Moon enters Aries. This is not the Moon sign to leap into new things as the star of the show leaves. You may have your sights set on a quick turnaround but the plan changes for reasons out of your control. You may choose to work along but someone entices you to join their team. The problem is their team leader leaves for the big-time. Now you regret leaving your position in the first place.

_________________________________________________
Thursday July 21. Jupiter rules Thursdays. The Aries Moon adds oomph to your efforts. Stick with your plan and gain ground by plowing through a heavy task list. The needs of your children could be on your agenda. Their placement for the fall or how your situation changes. It could be that your pets need extra care. A solution could be found for something you are trying to preserve or purify. There is a spiritual link between you and the source that nurtures mental peace and harmony. This is a good day to for an expanded spiritual practice. Draw no agreements or signatures today. Aspects include; Venus 30° to Mars at 9:22 AM. Neptune parallel Ceres at 9:51 AM topics about disappearing or resurfacing of lost children. 8:53 PM Mercury contra Ceres. 9:33 PM Mercury contra parallel Neptune.

_________________________________________________
Friday July 22. Venus rules Fridays. Aries Moon with little planetary activity. There are changes ahead, some of which are a surprise. The day runs smoothly but avoid agreeing to anything just yet. (Wait until next Monday afternoon through Wednesday night. 7/25-7/27) Let all the players find their new positions before taking a stand. Use your ability to work well alone throughout the day. The evening has pleasant energies if you would like to head out on a singular adventure. You will enjoy the journey.

_________________________________________________
Saturday July 23. Saturday is ruled by Saturn.
The Sun enters Leo on Saturday July 23 at 12:11 AM which is when the Moon is void of course. The Moon enters Taurus at 12:57 AM ending the void Moon period. Aspects include Jupiter square Pallas Athena at 9:44 AM. You might find your thinking or advisor is off in the wrong direction. Family discussions are difficult at best.

July 9 - July 16, 2011 Astrology Report

2011-07-09T10:40:00.001-04:00

Join me for Astrology Class as usual on Monday night from 7 - 9 PM.

Mars has been setting off the recent eclipse points since Wednesday July 6 and will continue to startle, strike and ignite our surroundings through August 17. Note also July 23 and 25. During this time Mars goes over the top when it travels out of bounds from July 22 - August 21st. What this may mean for us is more arguments and abusive behaviors. You may notice more noise, more sirens, more accidents and fires. More work and more fatigue.

________________________________________________
Saturday July 9, 2011. A Green Light period begins at 8:34 PM making this an good time to forward your goals.
________________________________________________
The Moon is void of course in Libra until 2:51 AM when the Moon enters Scorpio through Monday morning at 5:47 AM. A Scorpio Moon sign is not for lightweights as mind games are common. Professionals can use bully tactics to gain ground. Often you learn that someone has passed away. This is an excellent time to begin research. During this Scorpio Moon Uranus brings its unique methods and quirky angst as it blurts the truth. This particular Uranus station period brought the news of miracle cure for diseased body parts that are manufactured in just days which are fed by one's own stem cells. Uranus turns retrograde Saturday night at 8:34 PM and appears to travel backwards until December 9, 2011. The early hours began with the celebratory energy of Venus in Cancer and Jupiter in Taurus at 60^ apart. Interestingly a Venus and Jupiter aspect can also be a signal to take the one last journey from earth. We saw that with the final launch of the space shuttle Atlantis and Betty Ford who died at age 93. She was a beacon of courage for issues once considered taboo; addressing cancer and addiction openly. At 4:18 AM Mercury in Leo was 60^ to Saturn in Libra. Our activities adapt to the new day with focus and direction guided by the Sun and Mars in a parallel aspect. This may be a little too much energy in one spot causing virus' to spread or to feel run down. Get more rest and avoid battles. After Uranus makes its station at 8:34 PM there is positive energy to move forward with your goals through until 5:05 AM Monday.
________________________________________________
Sunday July 10, 2011. A Green Light to move forward all day Sunday.
________________________________________________

The Scorpio Moon is a good time to process emotional baggage. Take on topics that are difficult to tackle. Take a professional along for the tough subjects. Those in charge can be ruthless and have extremely high expectations. The day is free of planetary activity. Sunday is a good day to move forward with a positive aspect between the Sun and Moon Monday morning.

____________________________________________________
Monday July 11, 2011. A Green Light until 5:05 AM. A Green Light again after 5:47 AM through 10:04 AM on Wednesday. Go for it!
____________________________________________________

Monday morning begins with a brief void of course Moon period 5:05 AM until 5:47 AM when the Moon enters the enthusiastic sign of Sagittarius until Wednesday at 10:04 AM.

Ceres the goddess of the Harvest. The symbol of the Great Mother crosses the point of the world axis, zero Aries and waits there while in stationary motion. It will remain at zero Aries until August 10th. It brings attention to children and those under the care of others. At 11:28 PM Mercury in Leo and Mars in Gemini are 60° apart for building bridges. This pair steps up talks and brings people together for a motivated purpose. A fine aspect for purchasing a vehicle anytime on Monday. Monday is an all around good day for to move forward with confidence to advance your goals.

___________________________________________________
Tuesday July 12, 2011. A Green Light Day.
___________________________________________________
Tuesday Sagittarius Moon is an excellent day to move forward. There is money to be found and work to done. Plans for travel and education are under the Sagittarius canopy. At 11:11 AM on Tuesday night the Moon is voc until Wednesday.

_____________________________________________________
Wednesday July 13, 2011. Green Light up until 10:04 AM. After 10:13 AM begin another Green Light period through Friday morning at 4:07 AM.
_____________________________________________________
On Wednesday during the VOC period Venus in Cancer and Saturn in Libra are square at 3:35 AM. This is emotionally heavy with a cold response. Financial difficulties. Spending is reigned in. Criticism runs high. Cold interpretation of beauty or esthetic choices. Corrections regarding social matters. Difficulty relating. Serious tones with love and money. Short changed. Inhibitions. Cutting excesses. Painful decisions involving couples in relationship. Separations due to judgmental thinking that nothing has been resolved. Long reaching consequences. Spend on utilitarian needs. Keep an open mind and heart and give your partner a break. Hard nose actions with workers leave a long impression. This is not the time to meet a new lover.

The Moon enters Capricorn at 10:13 AM, ending the voc Moon period. The Moon is in good shape while in Capricorn. This is the get down to business Moon sign. There are no planetary aspects to mention on Wednesday.

Thursday July 14, 2011. Green Light Day.
_______________________________________________________
For Thursday we have a Capricorn Moon which is headed for a Full Moon on Friday morning. The budget and debt ceiling are topics that seek resolve. The full Moon is a good time to put all the cards on the table and resolve. This is a good day to move forward knowing you are fully aware of all necessary angles.

________________________________________________________
Friday July 15, 2011. Full Moon at 2:40 AM.
Difficulty with agreements and dealings with others throughout the Aquarius Moon sign.
________________________________________________________

On Friday at 2:39 AM the Moon is full at 22° Capricorn. Family matters are high on the list. Older family members approach the next stage. The Moon's final aspect is parallel Pluto at 4:07 AM beginning a twelve hour voc Moon period.

At 4:29 PM Friday the Moon enters Aquarius. This Moon sign sees challenges between friends as Mercury and Uranus form a 135° cranky aspect. Equipment can be faulty and parts of what you say could be misconstrued. Be a good listener and chose another day to move forward as Friday through Sunday are difficult ending with arguments and threats of loss to friendship.

Radio report for July 2 - July 9, 2011

2011-07-03T13:56:00.000-04:00

Sat Jul 2 2011 – Sat Jul 9 2011 -
Monday’s Class for July 4, 2011 is on from 7 – 9 pm. Please join us. Call me at 617-924-0929.
The July 1, 2011 solar eclipse was pleasantly influenced by Venus as opposed to eclipse six months ago when Mars and Pluto were so strongly indicated. That eclipse brought the violence which injured Gabriella Gifford, nineteen others and killed six in Arizona. With Venus at the lunar node on July 1st, the stock market shot way up over this past week and Strauss Khan was released from house arrest. He was France’s Financial Monetary Manager who was accused of sexual misconduct. The maid was taped in a call to a prison mate in a plan to extract money from Strauss Kahn. Venus’ energy helps us to recover some money and gain a little bit however; Venus is also a big spender. What comes in may go right out. Currently Venus is in the sign of Gemini and travels to Cancer this coming week. Hopefully once in Cancer we might be able to save or gather money in a way that is useful, and not just making ends meet. Of course regards for the needs of family will be high on the list.

There is a lot of excitement surrounded by the eclipse period. This eclipse was a very minor eclipse as far as its shadow on the earth. Eclipses are new moons which present a major impact on our lives. In nine months we will see things take off as a result of the seeds that are planted around this time. As with all new moons, let things come to you. Take no direct action. Avoid starting new things such as opening a business or getting married because you are missing important facts that emerge with more light of the moon. You need to see that moon in the sky at night before moving forward. At least give it a day after the time of the new moon. Now the Sun is applying a square to Saturn which applies seriousness around this eclipse. Six months ago Saturn was about to turn retrograde when there was the solar eclipse in Capricorn, and now Saturn recently turned direct and is actually picking up some speed. Matters begin to move forward as the Sun and Saturn let go of the old retrograde Saturn cycle. Hopefully we notice increases in money and in business and government has the opportunity to come out of a deadlock – hopefully that will be the case.
For Saturday July 2nd we have a Cancer moon. Mercury entered Leo early July 2nd at 1:37 am. Later Mercury and Mars teamed up for speed. This pair can modify and manage tasks with large bursts of energy. So expect to get a lot done today. The down side of a Mercury - Mars aspect is short tempers, probably riots some where, military action everywhere. This will remain in effect throughout the day. However it is great for getting things done, making connections, breaking through communication barriers. The VOC moon in Cancer began at 6:08 am. However, I don’t count the VOC Moon period when the Moon is in Cancer because this is its own sign. But if you do count it, you can expect it to be over at 5:42 pm when the moon enters Leo - until Monday night.

The Leo moon is faced with complications. That is because of the fact the sun is squaring Saturn at 8:16 pm on Sunday. It is serious. It has a lot to do with family and parents, and placing parents and safe situations, and elder care type of things, and dealing with people that are either in hospitals or trying to recover from a difficult situation. There is also another complication for the Leo moon with the fact that Venus will change signs on Monday morning. What this means is that the moon is trying to catch Venus and make an aspect to her before she leaves the sign. Put another way the Moon want to meet up with Venus to make a deal; get some money or grab a kiss or a promise before she leaves the Gemini territory. The problem is that she is going to take off with the goods. So Venus may actually promise something that she doesn’t deliver. If you try to make a deal or seal some sort of an agreement between yourself and another, it is likely to get dropped as someone may reneged on their end of the bargain. After 12:16 am on Monday morning there is a VOC Leo moon. The entire time the Moon is in Leo there are complications.

There is an aspect between Venus and Ceres that is important to note. That is 8:02 am on Sunday morning. This one really feels and looks like the Casey Anthony trial where there is likely to be a decision made with that one.

Moving on with Monday we have a VOC moon period that begins when Venus enters Cancer at 12:16 am until 9:15 pm Monday night. Venus travels through Cancer until July 28th. While Venus travels through Cancer she is more interested in bonding with family, moving closer to a resolve about housing and family placement issues. Secrets are a vital piece to the Venus puzzle because Venus is trine Neptune at 1:26 pm on Monday. She may discover things, secrets that she can use in an interesting way. There could also be a discovery of antiques or fine treasures or old loves, anything that is Venusians. That is jewels and romantic things and things of the imagination. At 8:47 pm, on Monday Mercury is trine Uranus; a cosmic sense of humor which makes for very interesting conversation and innovative ideas while making new friends.

After 9:15 PM there is a terrific Green Light with the Virgo moon sign that begins on Monday night and is perfect for forwarding your goals. Take charge and plow through daunting tasks. You will find others are cooperative and motivated to give you a hand. Happy Fourth of July.

Mercury as the ruler of Virgo is a primary player for Tuesday, July 5th, in an aspect with Chiron, Jupiter, then Pluto. Mercury’s 150° quincunx to Pluto at 7:07 PM can cause one’s head to spin in worry. You may discover a mouse in the house or other annoying vermin. Try to use a spiritual clearing to keep your head on straight. It may represent a jumbled set of facts, broadcast over a sensitive subject or a final ruling with a twist. This might refer to the interesting high profile legal cases in the news. Legal rulings are indicated by Saturn in Libra.
For Wednesday. We have a Virgo moon when Mars is trine Saturn at 8:15 am. the final aspect of the Virgo moon is an excellent parallel to Saturn at 12:07 pm which begins the VOC moon period that continues until 11:53 pm on Wednesday night when the moon enters Libra.
Continuing through Thursday, the Libra Moon sign is another excellent Moon sign to move forward and that green light lasts until Friday at 10:57 am. Go for it during that period. On Thursday July 7th we can wish Happy Birthday to Victor! The Libra moon finds Jupiter and Pluto in a perfect trine on Victor’s birthday at 10:06 am. This aspect supports an increase in money and also the ability to invest. Investments could be with tradition. Not just with money, but putting your energy into something that is really important. Family members require a plan. A plan for their estate is a very good thing to conduct during that July 7th energy. This is a day that supports an excellent strategy. Mars is trine Pallas at 10:10 am.

Later on Venus is square to Uranus- that aspect is 5:45 pm which could indicate a sudden pulling apart. I’d be careful about placing you money down on the table until after that point. Be cautious throughout Thursday night. Perhaps something is suddenly lost. You want to hold on to your purse. I always notice when Venus and Uranus are square it accompanies a loss of money or loss of your purse. Maybe you accidentally run over the box that has your family heirlooms in it when you are moving.

While the Moon is in Libra there is a first quarter Moon at 2:29 am on Friday at 15°Libra 47’ which thrusts relationship matters forward or your legal issues. Family matters, marriage and divorce and anything that started nine months ago will come to the next major stage of its development. I think my friend Sally who moved up to Maine, maybe she will be coming back with that one. At 10:57 am there is a VOC Moon which continues until 2:31 am on Saturday. There may be a quick fix with legal matters someone rushes in to lend a much needed hand with relationship issues. Perhaps you see things more broadly which helps your situation.

The Moon’s final aspect is contra parallel to Jupiter.

During the VOC Moon period Venus is opposite Pluto. This can be very heavy emotionally for Friday night as it occurs at 8:30 pm. Later Venus is sextile (60 degrees) to Jupiter 2:05 Saturday morning. So the Venus opposite Pluto indicates jealousies and splitting apart because of the resurgence of jealous activities or infidelity and a loss of money. This indicates a mixed bag during the Libra moon.
We can expect to see a lot of things happen in a positive way with the green lights that occur throughout the week.
Look ahead to an excellent week when you can plan activities starting the 17th of July. That whole week is a very good week for moving forward. If you want to get a fresh start with something go ahead and move forward during that week. That’s it for this week.

Report for June 25, 2011 through July 1, 2011

2011-06-26T10:33:00.002-04:00

A note about this Monday night class, June 27, 2011. It is canceled because I am out of town. Class resumes Monday July 4, 2011 from 7:00 - 9:00 PM. We will continue throughout the summer months.

Good Morning. There is not that much comedy yet, but there will be. There is a Sun square Uranus coming up tomorrow. And that has a lot of haphazard energy to it. So you want to be cautious with that. I just want to make a comment about finding the FBI’s number one fugitive, Whitey Bulger. Fugitives are ruled by Neptune and recently Neptune has returned to its home sign of Pisces. There were a couple of aspects that speak to fugitives; Mars square Neptune, that one will certainly uncover or do something to create a thorn in the side of a fugitive during a Pisces Moon and then the Sun was trine Neptune also on Wednesday. So all that Neptune stuff says there is this undercover thing going on and the Sun helps to shine light on it. But another interesting note for uncovering fugitives is the presence of a Sun Pluto aspect. It was a week away but from the perspective of the 360° zodiac the aspect was only about seven degrees from exact which will actually take place on Tuesday (Sun opposite Pluto). That often is very good for uncovering people that are hidden very deeply. Neptune is now in the sign of Pisces is really helping to uncover those that are doing that Pisces run away, hide away thing. An interesting study will be to explore the killing of Osama bin Laden and capture of Whitey Bulger in the same season. Partially the lunar eclipse that we had in Sagittarius is a contributor as it is the time when the greatest amount of light on a subject exposes things and people hidden or out of plain sight.
About the astrology report for this week.

Saturday June 25, 2011.
________________________________________________
For today we have an Aries Moon that is void of course. It has been void of course since Friday night 6:07 pm. It remains void of course until 4:53pm. After which time the Moon enters the sign of Taurus. This Taurus Moon has a real positive influence and signals a time for moving forward because Mars at the end of the sign. Mars heats things up which is kind of opposite from this Venus ruled sign which is a relaxed laid back energy. With Mars at the end of the sign we are likely to pack a lot of things into the Taurus agenda (food, family, possessions and traditional activities) which keeping things moving. The direction that matters proceed becomes apparent and there is a cementing with a parallel between the Moon and Mars at the end of the sign. So it is excellent for projects. And also probably with the Taurus Moon we’ll be experiencing mostly a kick back energy with the need to join with family and friends. There is a cheery Sun and Jupiter aspect at 7:54 pm. That adds to the fun that you might find along the way on Saturday night here. It is great for all sorts of exchanges with friends and family and date night.

Sunday June 26.
______________________________________________
Not until 6:13 am Sunday will the calm be interrupted by the Sun square to Uranus. Now I think that can be modified with the fact that there is this Mars influence and the Uranus influence. So sudden abrupt changes throughout the day on Sunday, even tonight, before that happens. Your own actions and those of others, there is this pendulum swaying back and forth, may be very unpredictable changes of heart and some very interesting solutions that could also present themselves. Computer equipment could be quirky; cell phones could be quirky, interesting twists. I wonder if it is going to bring more twisters and tornado energy. Seem like that is going to happen some where. And it is a very innovative aspect as well. That’s that Sun square Uranus I’m talking about. But you are likely to dream up something unique and unusual. There is an aspect at 10:43 pm between Mars and Jupiter. That can help to expand Mars’ interest and create a greater, a higher energy level.

Brief description of the Cancer Sun square to Uranus in Aries. Sudden and abrupt changes throughout the day. Your own actions and those of others (each end of the pendulum) may be unpredictable. Sudden changes of heart and interesting solutions may present themselves, although they may still need further investigation and processing. Computer equipment may be quirky. Interesting twists. This aspect is accident-prone.
Think of innovative ways to get what you need or want. The truth may need to be expressed; just be tactful. You may experience erratic bursts of insight and energy.
In business; be open to unusual possibilities.

_____________________________________________

Monday June 27.
_____________________________________________
Mars and Uranus kick off a 60° sextile at 6:26 am on Monday morning. That is terrific for support from others. Friends may emerge to help you out with what you need. It also has to do with moving very quickly. And it is the kind of aspect that allows for innovative activities. This combination always reminds me of tires. So when you are driving be careful that you don’t burn your tires right off the rim. Otherwise it’s a symbol that matters keep moving. Taurus Moon ’s last aspect is Moon parallel Mars 12:38 pm on Monday.

At 6:26 am Monday Mars is 60° to Uranus.
This aspect is very much a "me" thing, with driven intention to lead others in your direction, not only as leading troops into battle but a strong will or take charge and command. The true leaders will emerge with this aspect. There are applications for the latest modern or ancient methods. Aggressive techniques that include ultra sharp thinking and radical designs work. Engineers are inspired to cut into virgin territory. Interrupts protocol for emergency needs. Adds speed to all activities with intense drive to force the outcome. Keeping speed as a focus the tendency is to drive or move ahead without caution. Thinking is quick but a disregard for experience is the temptation. To be driven to expose the truth. Burns calories, cuts body fats and waste while decreasing appetite. The use of muscles. Check blood pressure. Stretch before exercise.
For personal use; Avoid being bossy as you need to invite others on board displaying your
leadership qualities. How can you redesign your lifestyle to include physical more exercise. Include people in your life that want to get up and do something.
For business: This is a highly dynamic aspect that is the motivation to leap ahead. This is a good aspect to hire a muscle team.

________________________________________________
Tuesday June 28.
________________________________________________
The Taurus void of course Moon will be the host of the Cancer Sun opposite Pluto in Capricorn on Tuesday at 1:19 am. That aspect is great for uncovering things, finding buried treasures and exposing serious problems or even financial problems. You do get the chance to uncover them, expose them, and work them out.
Sun Opposition Transiting Pluto brief description: The light shines on the deeper issues. Exposure of fraud and lawbreakers. To cast suspicions onto others. Others imposing their power creating uncomfortable and unacceptable conditions. Competition which could lead to disgrace and failure. Unconscious behavior which reveals underlying motivations. Body language. Sexual attractions and tension. Jealousy and strong biological drives. The necessity to share and trust in an environment of mistrust. Pornography and dominance. Playing dirty. Power mongers intimidate to shake their subjects into submission. For personal use: Take the high road. For business use: Know and respect you opponent. Chose a singular topic and stick to it in order to gain ground.
There is a Gemini Moon that begins on Tuesday at 3:55 am right through until Thursday until 12:12 pm. The Gemini Moon is a very good travel Moon whereas the last aspect is Moon parallel Venus. This aspect can bring great long term results and positive solutions while making connections or dealing with money. It may get things working and moving again. Because we are talking about the Gemini Moon Venus is saying the end results are excellent. Then there is an excellent aspect between Mercury and Venus which occurs Wednesday morning at 2:23 am. It actually has an influence over Tuesday’s affairs as well as throughout Wednesday.

7:37 AM Sun Parallel Transiting Mercury brief description: Processing details for major decisions. Major announcements are made. A connection is made between key persons to consult for the purpose of a long term agreement. Ones counselors and advisors are selected. There can be assignments and appointments to positions and offices. Important plans made for children. A child speaks out regarding an important matter. New pets may be adopted. Considerations or information regarding relocation to new neighborhoods. Important material is written or organized to a primary document. All eyes and ears are focused on the outcome of the story at hand. For personal use: Look for clarity where information had been sketchy. Select you stage and wait for the right moment to make your presentation. For business use: Consider options regarding travel for business. Choose your words carefully. Read the fine print and be decisive.

Wednesday June 29.
_______________________________________________
Brief description of Mercury parallel Venus: To align with intelligent and popular people for the purpose of a positive message. Versatility and clever ideas laced with charm and attraction. Love of sound and music. Beautifully expressed thoughts. Awareness of sensitivities and reactions to foods. Pleasant trips. Visits with friends and relatives.
For personal use: Enjoy the love delights and share your appreciation. For business use: Study peoples reaction to your business. Great for outreach.

There is a 150° aspect between Mars and Pluto, which is a quirky one, at 2:46 pm Wednesday the 29th. It’s a quincunx, I call this “Life’s messy, clean it up.” With the combo of Mars and Pluto it is also a steam roller aspect. I don’t like that pair together. There could be talk of (where it is a Gemini Moon ) taking down others. This could be the activity of the Middle East unrest whereas those countries trying to mow down their opposition.
The Mars- Pluto quincunx: Highly productive energy that can be destructive if ill channeled. Mars and Pluto in an aspect are considered a steam roller combination. Watch out for those who mow down the opposition with out warning. You may experience or take on great challenges. Notice a deep seated anger that adds to a sense of desperation of no return to your actions. This can be the result when under the control of others. Crude oil fields burning or accidents in transport. Fires out of control. Explosions beneath the streets. Compelling sexual drive. Notice subjects pertaining to pornography and deviant behavior; obsessive compulsive behavior; to act with blunt force. A sudden need to clean up a big mess. To be forced into an issue unrelated to you. Bio-hazardous waste removal. Anger over corruption and waste. This is also a health aspect between two destructive energies. Use caution while driving or using heavy machinery. Stretch before exercising. Muscles are vulnerable.
For personal use: Make love not war. Discover your passion. Create breaks for complete relaxation.
For business use: A time to make what is wrong, right. Suggest better planning to counter a lack of confidence. Organize from the bottom up.

On Wednesday night, the dark phase of the Moon begins. During the dark Moon period you shouldn’t make any major decisions. Do not start anything. Let things come to you. The dark of the Moon says you don’t have all the facts; you’re missing information, and wait until there is more light of the Moon .
______________________________________________
Thursday June 30.
______________________________________________
The dark Moon period continues until Saturday around noon. Thursday after the void of course Moon Thursday 5:52 am until 12:12 pm the Moon enters Cancer Moon. There is a Venus and Sun parallel aspect that occurs on Thursday. This is an excellent aspect for cementing agreements, and bringing partners together and that sort of things. There will be a solar eclipse in the sign of Cancer which speaks to a period of intensity family dynamics. This aspect may involve moving from home to another.

5:22 PM Thursday Sun Parallel Transiting Venus brief description: This can be a social time for people to enjoy a special occasion. There may also be an event of women bonding together for a specific affair. There is an openness and desire to be agreeable. Engagements are likely to be expensive and extravagant. Creativity shows its best side today with much support from someone with influence. For personal use: If you are single or want more in your personal relationships of both intimate or friendship, this social time allows opening for meeting new people that could become important to you for many years. Make esthetic choices that are from your heart. For business use: Choose this time to enhance your public and business relationships. Have a sale and show your best work. Use art, color and entertainment for a positive long lasting impression.

On Friday the eclipse of the Sun occurs at the New Moon at 4:53 am. This is a very partial eclipse that occurs at the bottom of the globe. It can be visible only from Antarctica and slightly in southern Africa. It indicates more melting of ice at the South Pole. This is the final solar eclipse of the season. The first one was in Gemini on June 1st we had the tornados here in Massachusetts, and the lunar eclipse was on June 15th. For the final eclipse of the season you may want to set your intentions to attract positive changes and plant a seed of action to forward your goals. Do things that enhance your family connections, bring you closer to things that feel safe and secure and also anything having to do with the roots of your being.

For the Week Ahead
__________________________
Once again, Mercury is not retrograde even if it seems like this is the worst of all mix-ups filled with tricks common with a Mercury retrograde period. I believe it is the stationing position of Neptune at zero degrees of Pisces. Neptune picks up one minute of motion by July 7th and could be a time when the current chaos diminishes.
The Moon travels from Libra through Capricorn this coming week. The focus is on the “other, shared resources and management of the business of life and death as well as expanding your perspective and getting down to business”.

The Lunar Eclipse on Wednesday is the headliner. The days most suitable for forwarding your goals I call Green light days which begin on Thursday at 3:08 PM until Saturday June 18 at 4:07 AM. There are two planet changes first Saturn turns direct on Sunday and Mercury changes signs on Thursday.

Saturday, June 11, 2011

The Moon is in Libra and triggers an interesting memory from two astrological events; first the Saturn and Jupiter conjunction of May 2000 is revisited when Mars crosses over that important degree. When the Moon forms a quincunx to Mars at this the point many financial and social – economic cycles are reviewed or revisited. Then anther event is revisited of 2005 when Mars had stationed at this point to turn retrograde. Mix ups and hazardous conditions are present.

4:03:56 AM The Libra Moon is void of course after a wonderful trine between the Moon and the Sun at 4:03 AM until the Moon enters Scorpio at 8:33 PM Saturday.

8:33:13 PM Saturday June 11, 2011 Scorpio Moon. Be aware and be prepared for serious matters. Something of great importance may be dropped. Do not commit or sign anything until after 3:08 PM on Thursday. After the Moon enters Scorpio it expects Saturn to turn direct (11:51 PM Sunday) before heading for an opposition to Mars on Monday June 13 at 1:43 PM.
____________________________________
Sunday June 12, 2011
____________________________________

Before that there is a serious saga ahead before this Scorpio Moon period is complicated and on several counts. First you may find there are matters imposed upon you or those close to you from higher authorities or otherwise restricted due to Saturn’s direct station on Sunday night at 11:51 PM. You may observe this in the lives of public figures. We have been under the influence of the Saturn station event for at least ten days and may find the heaviness lingers for another week or so. Not until June 23 does Saturn increase its rate of motion by one minute. You may use that as a guide to monitor the gradual release of the close quarters and short change we are now experiencing.

Going back to the Scorpio scenario we realize this is a deep and intense sign which often carries notices of those who have passed away. In this case it may carry the souls that had great presence in governments, society or the corporate world. Family elders or those that have been infirmed for some time may be too exhausted to continue on. My thoughts are also with retired Heads of State. In some cases the loss may cause a scramble for replacements and interrupt business as usual.

Other activity on Sunday indicates the same as the Sun and Moon in a minor aspect early Sunday morning point to an important degree of 21°Gemini. At 7:44 PM 21° Gemini is the point of the conjunction of the Sun and Mercury which transmits the important notices and information related to the serious tone of Saturn. Expect your plans to change in a big way. You could become connected with people who lead you to the next step along your path.
Later Sunday night Venus and Uranus add an opportunity for spontaneous pleasant surprise just before Saturn turns direct. The surprise might be monetary as when eligible for an inheritance. The surprise could bring a sudden connection of for an important relationship. However the relationship could end in with a major conflict as the Moon builds to a sizzling burns when opposing Mars at the end of this saga.
The Moon in opposition to Mars ignites fires and incites battles. People can not agree and it is best to avoid any contract for any reason. The first good day for moving forward will be (6/16) Thursday afternoon. Of course if you experience breakdowns or machine or communication you need use the skills of a snake charmer to keep negotiations open or machinery running. All of these matters are important because we are headed for a total lunar eclipse on Wednesday which means we are pressed with deadlines that are the most significant in a six month period. Drive more slowly and be aware that accidents are more likely.

10:35:32 PM Venus 60° Uranus can be a happier note in a heavy period. Notice where bridging antique art with hi-tech equipment makes for interesting topics. Matters have a unique artistic twist. There may be a sudden opportunity to develop romance or friendship. A time to share new and exciting experiences. An impulse to spend money. High energy in social situations. Creative expressions of love. Party time. Be available and be spontaneous in your close personal relationships. Or just go out and do something that feeds your creative desires. In business seek ways to cash in on a unique idea. Great for retail businesses. Have a sale or yard sale.

9:34:30 AM Moon 150° Sun. I call this life’s messy. Clean it up. Watch out for problems that pop out from now where. A 150° aspect between the Sun and Moon will grab your attention and prompt you to deal with the matter at hand. Such a computer issue or notice of some sort. In general Monday can be an accident prone day.
10:59:41 AM Monday, June 13, 2011
1:43:28 PM The Moon is v/c after it opposes Mars at 1:43 PM until the Moon enters Sagittarius at 10:38 PM Monday night.
10:38:17 PM The Moon enters Sagittarius at 10:38 PM and will host a list of planetary activity along with the Lunar Eclipse on Wednesday. This is not a good Moon sign to move forward as the final aspect of the Sagittarius Moon is an opposition to Mercury. Wednesday night before leaving the sign. The planetary aspects are as follows:

3:45:52 AM Mars and Pluto connect briefly to change the landscape or alter the body in some way. Huge trucks and earthmoving equipment is used. Surgery might be indicated.
_____________________________________
5:53:27 AM Tuesday, June 14, 2011
_____________________________________

12:10:35 PM Mercury and Mars scout for hidden money or collects that which is owed. Small payments are made.

4:18:28 PM Mars and Saturn form a 135° aspect pressures emerge between workers and their managers. Situations swell as people want to walk off their jobs. Wait. This appears huge at the moment but if you step back you might notice things unfold without a blow up unless you insist on proving a point.
7:10:24 PM Venus is quincunx Pluto. The cost is too dear. There could be losses between partners, friends and those in the position to hand out money. Speak to professionals casually about your goals before going about things your own way.
Tuesday, June 14, 2011
8:30:07 PM Ceres in Pisces is so important at the time of this eclipse as it squares the nodes, the eclipse point and is interrupted by a square from Mercury on Tuesday night. Animals could be in trouble. Keep them inside and away from hazards inside. Listen to the needs of children. Trials involving the loss of children gain our attention. The weight that we have all gained may be contributed by this placement of Ceres. You may be consulting with those that can help with weight loss.

6:56:53 AM Mars parallel Pallas. There is a good plan designed by a wise individual. All agree this is the way to go.
7:49:55 AM Wednesday, June 15, 2011 at 4:13 PM there will be a total Lunar Eclipse at 24° Sag 23’. This eclipse is visible in Australia, Japan and Asia, India, Africa, Europe and South America. It will be total for 50’ and expands over a period of 110’ for the duration of the eclipse. It is related to a Solar Eclipse from December 2001.
Perspective is the theme. Enlightenment. What is your vantage point? How can you reach others? This is a great time for marketing endeavors.
If you can think of major events that began in 2011 or have their roots in that period you may find your situation pivots in a major way. Often relationships change or reposition in some way at the time of lunar eclipses. Something ends in a big way. Matters from overseas or great distances call your attention. Matters involving education are significant. For some people long distance travel might be a contributing to the complications at this time. Those divided by religious beliefs are key to many issues. Look back nine months ago for related matters to this eclipse Go back further to a New Moon that seeded these events around December 2009.

7:58:55 PM Mars and Ceres build a fire to preserve something of great value.
11:30:47 PM Wednesday, June 15, 2011 the Moon is v/c until 1:58 AM when the Moon enters Capricorn.

Report for the Week of June 4-10, 2011 From Lunar-Shadows.com

2011-06-05T14:14:00.000-04:00

Report for the week of June 4- 11, 2011.

Looking Back-
My heart and prayers go out to the people who have lost their homes due to the tornadoes last Wednesday in Western Massachusetts. On Wednesday, June 1, 2011 six confirmed tornadoes and nine reported tornadoes touched down during the same time as a solar eclipse period which lasted 3.5 hours – the same amount of time of the havoc caused by the tornados in Western Massachusetts. The solar eclipse was in the sign of Gemini at 11 degrees which was exact at 5:02 PM. When the first tornado touched down at 4:30 PM, Jupiter at 29° Aries laid on the western horizon. Jupiter will enlarge any event or impact when prominently placed. Neptune and Mercury are also responsible for major extremes of wind and weather. Uranus is always a factor when a weather event is sudden as with tornadoes and Uranus in Aries is square to Pluto in Capricorn.

Planetary changes of sign or direction for this week are:
The major events this week can be noted first by Neptune’s change of direction to retrograde on Friday June 3rd. Saturday June 4, 2011 Jupiter enters Taurus until June 11, 2012. Chiron turns retrograde on Wednesday June 8, 2011. Venus enters Gemini on Thursday June 9, 2011. Looking ahead we are now influenced by Saturn which is stationary in motion and will turn direct on Sunday June 12, 2011. It does not pick up forward speed of 1 minute a day until June 23rd.

The void of course Moon periods are indicated by the Moon’s final aspect until it enters the next sign and are as follows:
June 5, Sunday the Cancer Moon’s final aspect is parallel Venus at 5:56 AM until 11:03 AM.
June 7, Tuesday the Leo Moon’s final aspect is 90° square Venus at 11:26 AM until 3:33 PM.
June 9, Thursday the Virgo Moon’s final aspect is parallel Saturn at 5:24 AM. However Venus’ sign change is a factor at 10:23 AM. The Moon would be considered to attempt a 60° sextile to exiting Venus but misses her as she leaves Taurus for Gemini at 10:23 AM.
The next void of course Moon period is next Saturday.

The following are days best suited to forward your goals and are indicated by what I call Green Light times or days.
Saturday June 4, from 9:56 AM (Jupiter enters Taurus) until Sunday at 5:56 AM.
Thursday Jun 9, from 6:30 PM until Saturday June 11 at 4:03 AM.

June 4, 2011

For Saturday the Cancer Moon today is very good for finding new ways to expand your family traditions. Plan a reunion. Improve your financial situation. Attend educational events. Planning trips that include family members. Enjoy the company of friends and unique topics.
Jupiter changing signs to Taurus at 10:56 AM until November 9th.
Mercury sextile Uranus at 3:57 PM. Interesting events emerge with opportunities to expand you perspective.
Fires may break out during the v/c Moon period due to Mars square Vesta at 6:36 PM. Damage to property by fire.

JUPITER TRANSIT THROUGH TAURUS
Jun 4 2011 – June 11 2012.
Jupiter represents abundance, optimism and perspective. We can assume there will be expansion along various avenues and hopefully there will be an expansion of money and property. Most frequently Jupiter offers freedom from something if not through an expanded awareness or change of perspective. The freedom could be more philosophical in nature or in addition to actual release from something that binds you now. Certainly Jupiter in Taurus seeks the underlying truth or source of loyalties and traditions which are under Taurus’ domain. We might assume the tone for the current economic condition has been set by those given the monetary power under the Bush administration. This fact acknowledges Jupiter’s overindulgent nature. Bush gained momentum during his run for president at the time of the conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn in Taurus in 2000. This single astro-event marked the beginning of a new soci-economic cycle. From an optimistic perspective one may expect to enjoy the performance of stocks and other investments. Assuming the average person has anything left after the pillaging from the richest corporations such as Enron and World Com and some greedy individuals such as Bernie Madoff, etc. Madoff bilked thousands of people out of their retirement funds. Bernard Madoff is a Taurus who was born April 29, 1938 in Queens, NY (no birth time is available). As Jupiter returns to the 2000 Jupiter and Saturn conjunction over the next year, (exact May 11, 2012) we may claim pieces of that era with new gains or an honest perspective of what happened. However Saturn will form a 150° quincunx to the conjunction point this fall and Jupiter at that time will be retrograde at 4° Taurus. We can project to June 28, 2011 for a clue to the meaning of the adjustments for the many that lost so much during a time of the great gain of a few when Jupiter is first at 4° of Taurus.
On a lighter side this would be a wonderful time for an ancestry search or title search of property or the planning of a family reunion. Jupiter tends to be redundant and loudly proclaims its gains. While in Taurus Jupiter may pack on the pounds as Taurus is by nature, in love with food.

THIS WEEK'S MOON PHASE: First Quarter Moon at 17°56’ Virgo at 10:11 PM on Wednesday June 8, 2011.

Below you can find four related Moon phases that form a group called a "Moon Family." A Moon Family is special because each of the four related Moon phases shares a lineage with this weeks' Full Moon. This Moon Family began at a New Moon eighteen months ago. Notice all four Moon phases occur near the same zodiacal degree and are separated by a nine-month interval. A Moon family is a remarkable timing tool that links the dates of your story-lines in a pattern that develops over a two-and-a-quarter-year period and is often renewed after three years with a New Moon near the same degree as this Moon Family. I have named the nine month interval the "Lunar Gestation Cycle" and when grouped form a Moon Family. See if your current situation connects to the Moon Family found within two weeks of the following dates:

The following four lunar phases belong to the Moon Family for the
June 8, 2011 First Quarter Moon at 17° Virgo 56’.

New Moon - Sept 8, 2010 at 15° Virgo 40
First Quarter - June 8, 2011 at 17° Virgo 56’
Full Moon - March 8, 2012 19° Virgo 13’
Last Quarter- December 6, 2012 14° Virgo 55’
You can use the dates in this Moon Family to reflect or project into the future when you focus on your current situation. Once you have realized your story is part of the "bigger picture" you may relate to each phase in the Moon Family personally, as it carries your storyline along a path of logical evolution. Expect related topics, either personal or public to resurface on the dates shown in the future. By following the symbolism of the four Moon phases which represent the various stages of your story, you develop greater insights to the timing and meaning of the events in your life. Even after one Moon family is completed over a period of 2.25 years, a new Moon Family emerges with a new event or new beginning at the next New Moon stage nine months following the last date of a Moon Family.

At the first quarter Moon stage, nine months after a New Moon, there is a progressive and enthusiastic development of growth. The degree of the New Moon is revived with the First Quarter Moon. At this stage you may know what your want to do but are just getting started. You need to make choices and selections or apply for permits, licenses or perhaps travel tickets or the next stage in a relationship. This is a gathering stage. Think of the First Quarter Moon stage as a time to shop for the ingredients to make a hearty stew.

Watch your story completely bloom and come to completion at the time of a Full Moon where deadlines, full disclosures, case presentations, social events, weddings and the like are typical.

In another nine months you may reap the rewards for your efforts as this stage brings matters to a close by the time that this Moon Family's Last Quarter Moon occurs. This is the pay-up or get-paid Moon phase. At this time you will collect the productive pieces of this two and a quarter years to seed the future. It can be a period when you are motivated to clear out or let go of things that are no longer useful. However people or things may return to you during the last quarter phase of which you once thought were finished. You may return to places where you had once traveled or visit with people from those places. People may return to you during this phase. It may become clear that very little is gone forever, even if it's a memory that keeps it alive. Remember when you found a greeting card from someone from your past and how their memory is revived.

Jupiter In Taurus

2011-06-05T13:26:00.002-04:00

JUPITER'S TRANSIT THROUGH TAURUS
Jun 4 2011 – June 11 2012.
Jupiter represents abundance, optimism and perspective. We can assume there will be expansion along various avenues and hopefully there will be an expansion of money and property. Most frequently Jupiter offers freedom from something if not through an expanded awareness or change of perspective. The freedom could be more philosophical in nature or in addition to actual release from something that binds you now. Certainly Jupiter in Taurus seeks the underlying truth or source of loyalties and traditions which are under Taurus’ domain. We might assume the tone for the current economic condition has been set by those given the monetary power under the Bush administration. This fact acknowledges Jupiter’s overindulgent nature. Bush gained momentum during his run for president at the time of the conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn in Taurus in 2000. This single astro-event marked the beginning of a new soci-economic cycle.

As Jupiter returns to the 2000 Jupiter and Saturn conjunction over the next year, (exact May 11, 2012) we may claim pieces of that era with new gains or an honest perspective of what happened. However Saturn will form a 150° quincunx to the conjunction point this fall and Jupiter at that time will be retrograde at 4° Taurus. We can project to June 28, 2011 for a clue to the meaning of the adjustments for the many that lost so much during a time of the great gain of a few when Jupiter is first at 4° of Taurus.
On a lighter side this would be a wonderful time for an ancestry search or title search of property or the planning of a family reunion. Jupiter tends to be redundant and loudly proclaims its gains. While in Taurus Jupiter may pack on the pounds as Taurus is by nature, in love with food.

Weekly Astrology Report
Sat May 28 2011 – Fri June 4 2011 - audio report
We have a very exciting week ahead. I’ve been getting a lot of calls asking if Mercury is retrograde. No, it is not. But there is an enormous amount of Gemini energy around. Mercury, the trickster, rules Gemini. But a major contributor to the chaos is Neptune. Mercury and Neptune will form a 90° square next week when Neptune stops for a retrograde station and after Mercury actually goes into the sign of Gemini. We will all be experiencing it as a Mercury retrograde period event though retro-Mercury’s turn does not occur until August 2nd but we will have an eclipse in Gemini this week.

When an eclipse occurs in a sign it amplifies the energies of that sign. Gemini is about scattering things off in all different directions. Nothing is focused. You could probably connect with a million people but making that one important connection may become illusive. You may share topics about your siblings or how your neighborhood changing. You may hear new stories daily. Gemini rules short trips. Not long trips. It would seem as though foreign travel is less likely during this next week or so. And short trips are necessary.
There are a lot of things that Gemini rules. Most importantly is your thinking process. If you write or journal now is the time to keep good notes. If you are inclined to take notes as an observer, record your ideas or draw pictures, then do so as your scratch pads could be useful later. With the Neptune influence it is a very creative period artistically, musically, and choreographically, and for all sorts of things. There is a brilliant vein of inspiration that can take you as far as the imagination can go. Although confusing on all sorts of other levels.
Taking a look at what some of these influences are for this week: lots of excitement and possible chaos. There are a few planets changing and the solar eclipse. Changes with Mercury, Jupiter, and Neptune will be responsible for increasing weather patterns, influencing economic sweeps and changing your perspective in a very big way. Shifting the political winds of foreign matters and government decisions will not be a surprise. You can find there is some support for keeping some semblance of order with a nice tie between the Sun and Saturn with 120 degrees and that is designed to allow you to gather loose ends. Currently everything is filled with loose ends enlarged with such a large dose of Gemini. You can tie down and batten the hatches if you need to. Keep your eye on things that resemble the original structured plan and try to stay within the lines and resist expanding outward during this period.

This is a dark Moon period, meaning we are missing important pieces of information in a big way because we are headed for the solar eclipse. More will be revealed and key players change their positions. It is similar to musical chairs. The solar eclipse occurs on June 1, Wednesday at 5:03 PM at 11° degrees of Gemini. It is the first of 5 eclipses at this degree which occur at a 19 year interval.

Not too long ago there was an eclipse very near by at 9 degrees Gemini back in May 2003. You may want to reflect on that period for repeat appearances of events developing or redeveloping in some from 2003. The eclipse will not be visible in the US or Europe. It will be a partial eclipse visible in eastern Asia, Greenland, and Iceland.
An eclipse in general amplifies planetary activities around it. Anything in the chart of the solar eclipse becomes bigger than life. Nothing is bigger than Jupiter now at 29 degrees of Aries. It is freeing up the space for the entrepreneur. It is widening the playing field for the individual, and extending some luck for some. So, you want to try and play your luck as well. Someone has to win, right? It might as well be you. Use your imagination and visualize an expanded lifestyle.

Jupiter now in Aries leaves for greener pastures on June 4 when it enters Taurus. That should be very interesting thing to look back in history there are some interesting dates that I’ve uncovered. I’m going to put them on my website, that are related past transits’ of Jupiter in Taurus. Most recently Jupiter made a conjunction to Saturn while in Taurus in the year 2000. That set the economic stage and the large global events that we continue to deal with as a result of that Jupiter -Saturn conjunction.

Also what we have a hard time pinning down is Neptune; famous for its clouds, illusions and it’s smoke screens. It really stirs up a lot of dust and makes it difficult to see past the cosmetic exteriors of so many important issues. Things come back from the past in a haunting fashion. It may seem everything is inside/out as you try to get your hands on important pieces to make things real or happen. That is the difficult part. Global events are very, very large. Along with that is a large dose of anesthesia that Neptune brings with it. If it hurts, if it is a difficult issue, if it is a painful issue you are likely to have a dose of Neptune’s anesthesia to help you through the bad times. Look beyond the pain for some of the comfort. There is a really strong indication for spiritual change as well. It is not from the pulpit. It is from that inner space where you take a leap of faith.

Also we have a Saturn Uranus opposition that lingers; these are all things that are in the chart of this eclipse: a Saturn Uranus opposition it seems to have been past is now revived as the pair squares Pluto in Capricorn. And those events that are famous for Saturn opposition Uranus are the election of Barack Obama; the economic crisis that started 3-4 months or so before that in the Bush Administration with the fall of the big banks. All of those topics are back up in a literal way. There are also some ground breaking events it can be literal too as far as earthquakes go and things of that nature. Sun and Saturn trine create this seat of justice that intervenes and tries to tie things down.

For the coming week it is great for conjuring up a magic spell so to speak but not great for structured plans as I had said. Oil could flow freely. That could lower the price of gasoline. Your imagination flows freely as well.

We have a Void of Course Moon period Sunday May 29 at 6:27 am until 9:01 am. Then the Moon enters Taurus. VOC Moon periods says you judgment is off. You don’t want to purchase things that you want to keep for a long time and nothing major because it could fall apart. Also you want to note that we are in the dark of the Moon period that begins on Tuesday evening May 31st right through until Friday morning at 3:00 AM June 3rd. Avoid outer changes and allow things come to you.

Tuesday VOC Moon at 4:43 pm. that VOC Moon ends with an excellent aspect between the Sun and the Moon. And then the VOC Moon period ends at 7:56 pm Tuesday when the Moon enters Gemini which will host the solar eclipse at 5:02 pm Wednesday June 1st. The Gemini Moon is VOC on Friday 4:07 AM until 4:36 AM. Then the Moon enters Cancer until the following Sunday.

The following shows the best days or times for taking advantage of green lights and that sort of thing to move forward. Try to move forward with older matters. Don’t start anything new. This is a clean up period. Prepare for new beginnings. Clean the slate and make way. Beginning today Saturday, May 28. Especially after 10:38 AM. You have to get past a 150° aspect between the Sun and Pluto at 10:38 AM. That is a quincunx which I call “life’s messy clean it up”. After that we have a green light period until 6:27 am Sunday morning May 29. On Sunday we have a good green light from 9:01am - 4:32 pm Tuesday, and then stop. Allow things to come to you and envision your best case scenario without taking any direct action outward. Meet, mix, and mingle with the social sign of Gemini emphasized. And another good day can be found next Saturday June 4 after 9:56 AM.

Run down of the aspects today: Sun quincunx Pluto 10:38 am. That one is tough. You may be up against a real tough guy, you need to make adjustments. It might be an old debt you must face. You need to clean up – for some it is a health aspect. On June 1 the Sun is trine Saturn at 5:15 am. This aspect is about keeping things together pulling things in that need to be connected to make things work. Mercury enters Gemini on June 2 at 4:02 pm. On June 3rd at 3:05 AM Mercury is then square Neptune. This one kicks up the wind. Could create a lot of bad weather. Also minutes later Neptune turns retrograde at 3:27 am on June 3rd until November 9, 2011.

Jupiter does change signs on June 4 from Aries to Taurus. We are looking at June 3 for the day where Jupiter is going to make its greatest expression laces with a large dose of Neptune and Mercury influences. It’s going to be wild. I’m going to take good notes.

I wish you a lot of good luck this week. It should be fun. If you are trying to reconnect with people you haven’t reached in a long time, then this would be the time to do that or watch them come to you. Matters with siblings might be large as you reconnect for important matters. Take stories that you hear with a grain of salt as not everything is real. There may be lots of lies out and misconceptions and disillusionment. Set your sights for a more intuitive relationship with your surroundings. That’s it for the week.

A big thank you, Kimberly Chin, for transcribing this report from the WZBC radio 90.3 FM.

Report for the week of May 21-28, 2011

2011-05-21T13:41:00.000-04:00

Aside from the void Moon periods, the entire week shows positive influences for forwarding your goals with a Green Light every day. The twists emerge from the personal planets, Mercury, Venus and Mars all forming 150° angles to Saturn. Beginning with Mercury 150° Saturn on Monday very early at 2:06 AM having an influence over Sunday's evening's activities. Tuesday at 2:46 PM Venus moves out of her comfort zone to prompt Saturn with the 150° angle.
On Wednesday at 11:48 AM Mars will force an issue as it applies 150° to Saturn. Each of these 150° angles speak to the need to get things moving. See the notes for each of these aspects listed at the day of their appearance.
Many events will occur seemingly out of the blue and may spark an incident that presents as urgent and at minimum is a call to action. For many this set of quincunx aspects can create jobs. The personal planets are involved with Saturn on each account drawing you into an event or you could be called to work side by side with your partner. You may be drawn into an issue that requires a considerable amount of compromise. You may be rearranging and managing your surroundings with others. If you are pressed to make decisions based on less information try to reserve final judgments for a time when new facts emerge.

The void of course Moon periods this week are:
Saturday from 5:04 PM until 10:32 PM when the Moon enters Aquarius . Very good Moon sign. Moon sextile Jupiter in Aries.
Tuesday at 3:40 AM until Moon enters Pisces at 8:23 AM. Excellent Mon sign Moon split parallel retrograde Saturn in Libra.
Thursday v/c Moon at 5:16 AM until the Moon enters Aries at 8:36 PM - another good Moon sign that ends with the Moon conjunct Jupiter at 6:27 AM.

THIS WEEK'S MOON PHASE: Last Quarter Moon at 3° Pisces 16’ on Tuesday May 24, 2011 at2:52 PM.

Below you can find four related Moon phases that form a group called a "Moon Family." A Moon Family is special because each of the four related Moon phases shares a lineage with this weeks' Last Quarter Moon in Pisces. This Moon Family began at a New Moon 27 months ago. Notice all four Moon phases occur near the same zodiacal degree and are separated by a nine-month interval. A Moon family is a remarkable timing tool that links the dates of your story-lines in a pattern that develops over a two-and-a-quarter-year period and is often renewed after three years with a New Moon near the same degree as this Moon Family. I have named the nine month interval the "Lunar Gestation Cycle" and when grouped form a Moon Family. See if your current situation connects to the Moon Family found within two weeks of the following dates:

The following four lunar phases belong to the Moon Family for the
May 24, 2011 Last Quarter Moon at 03° Pisces 16'.

Moon Family
New Moon - Feb 24, 2009 at 6° Pisces 35’
First Quarter – November 24, 2009 at 2° Pisces 45’
Full Moon - August 24, 2010 at 1° Pisces 26’
Last Quarter- May 24, 2011 at 3° Pisces 16’

You can use the dates in this Moon Family to reflect or project into the future when you focus on your current situation. Once you realize your story is part of the "bigger picture" you may relate to each phase in the Moon Family as it carries your storyline along a path of a logical evolution. Expect related topics, either personal or public to resurface on the dates shown in the future. By following the symbolism of the four Moon phases which represent the various stages or your story, you develop greater insights to the timing and meaning of the events in your life. As the phases form at nine month intervals, watch your storyline emerge as a new event or new beginning at the New Moon stage.

Nine months later there is a progressive and enthusiastic growth stage when the First Quarter Moon appears (notes its near the same degree of the New Moon). At this stage you may know what your want to do but are just getting started. You need to make choices and selections or apply for permits, licenses or perhaps travel tickets or the next stage in a relationship.

Watch your story completely bloom and come to completion or some other Full Moon platform such as deadlines, full disclosure, case presentations, weddings and the like.

In another nine months you may reap the rewards for your efforts as this stage brings matters to a close by the time that this Moon Family's Last Quarter Moon occurs. This is the pay-up or get-paid Moon phase. At this time you will collect the productive pieces of this two and a quarter years to seed the future. It can be a period when you are motivated to clear out or let go of things that are no longer useful. However people things may return to you during the last quarter phase you once thought to be finished. You may return to places where you had once traveled or visit with people from those places. People may return to you during this phase. It may become clear that very little is gone forever, even if it's a memory that keeps it alive.

Daily Transits:

Saturday May 21, 2011. The big news for Saturday began at 5:10 AM when the Sun entered Gemini for a busy month-long trek through the sign bringing us two eclipses; first a solar eclipse on June 1st and a lunar eclipse on June 15th. Venus loves her sign of Taurus with beautiful flowers, comfort and hopefully some money will follow while in a harmonious 120º trine with Pluto in Capricorn at 2:03 PM today. The Capricorn Moon may be helpful especially with the money cause while in the same sign as Pluto.

At 5:04 PM the Capricorn Moon is void of course until 10:32 PM when the Moon enters Aquarius through Tuesday morning. The Aquarius Moon is a good Moon sign for advancing your goals with only a couple of pitfalls. The Best Day for the Aquarius Moon is Monday after sunrise.

Sunday May 22, 2001. The Aquarius Mon invites a friend along. The Sun will square Neptune at 3:31 AM which may have caused important information to be hidden from view. You could be lured into a potentially risky situation where you feel you have been hoodwinked.
TRANSITING SUN SQUARE TRANSITING NEPTUNE
Brief description: This is the square before Neptune turns retrograde on May 200. Confusion, romance, illusions and misconceptions are typical with this aspect. This day can be troublesome when under the influence of alcohol and drugs. Use caution as judgments are poor or blinded. Clouds and wet weather are common with this aspect.
For personal use: Beware of someone not with the best intentions attempting to sweep you off your feet. The likelihood that someone's feelings are at stake is high. People could be over sensitive to the insensitive comments made by others. There is a lack of objectivity. Over indulgence with anything could lead to very bad judgment.

Monday May 23, 2011 - Mercury and Saturn are 150° apart at 2:30 AM which may end a worry cycle after that time.

For personal use: Settle with the past and leave the slate clean for new loves and creative possibilities to come your way.
For business use: This could be money day.

Tuesday May 24, 2011. The Aquarius Moon begins a void of course Moon period at 3:40 AM and ends as the Moon enters Pisces at 8:23 AM. First, Mercury and Venus join in a parallel to bring the right people together for a long term agreement. At 2: 46 PM Transiting Mercury Quincunx Transiting Saturn
Brief description: Brief description: Wrong thinking. Annoying mental noise. Appointments are dropped. Lack of consideration for workers. Workers disappoint. Unexpected medical results not related to your present condition. Upsetting messages that seem to come out of the blue. A fly in the ointment. There is a need to assist someone ailing.
Be ready to take on a mental challenge today.
For business, allow extra time for unexpected clean up. Hold your judgment until after the hitch at 2:46 PM when cold feet attempt to stomp out the heat but something clicks with a Last Quarter Moon in Pisces at 2:52 PM. This quarter has plenty of history beginning with a New Moon that occurred at this degree 2.25 years ago on Feb 24, 2009. A 1st quarter Moon set the goals of that New Moon into action on Nov 24, 2009. All the related cards were on the table when a full Moon occurred on August 24, 2010. Now is time to reap the rewards of your efforts with Tuesday's Last Quarter Moon at 3º Pisces 15'. If you are lucky, the check is in the mail. Or you may finally be able to pay off a bill that has been mounting since that time.

Wednesday May 25, 2011. The Sun is excited about some new way of doing things when it encounters the brilliance of Uranus at 2:47 AM. If you awake with an idea you may want to jump out of bed to take note.
TRANSITING SUN SEXTILE TRANSITING URANUS
Brief description: The release of new medications. Inventions and scientific strides. Legislatures approve controversial scientific studies. Radical thinking and rebelliousness. Enlightenment. Awakening. High energy output to change stagnant and outworn conditions. Electrical and strong currents. Plastic surgery.
For personal use: Meet with a group of like-minded people to promote progress in the areas of your interest.
For business use: Consider a face lift for your business.
The Pisces Moon is intuitive and you could find yourself doing something you never planned on. The snag for Wednesday is that Mars and retrograde Saturn are a messy 150º apart at 11:48 AM. The good part about this aspect is that it is driven to put us to work. For some it could mean a workers strike or pressure to extract and older employee from their position. Mars is not in a good place to be making such demands as Saturn even though retrograde has a solid history and is in good standing while in Libra (Saturn in Libra through October 2012).

TRANSITING MARS QUINCUNX TRANSITING SATURN
Brief description: A stop sign aspect. Observe waning signals. Sheer frustration. A major clean up aspect. A need for adjustment. This is an urgent call involving hard work and clear organization skills. A condition or event that connects; two unrelated people, tasks or activities for a common goal. A health aspect involving bones, muscles, skeletal structure and sometimes heart trouble. There may be a need for surgery. Delays and blocks with work projects. A executive effort to control force and power. The police stop speeding drivers. Consequences when there is a strong resistance to change.
For personal use: Stretch before physical activity and pace yourself. Family relationships can be stressed.

Thursday May 26, 2011. The Pisces Moon could use a little help but there is a band-aid that brings a temporary fix to difficulties. At 10:33 AM Mercury and Mars put their heads together for a better plan during the void of course Moon period. Transiting Mercury Parallel Transiting Mars
Brief description: To align with those who can cut through the "red tape". Very fast feet. Arguments. Versatility dealing with irritations and complaints. Rashes. Acute sense of smell. Expressions of pointed and heated thoughts. To rip off another of their ideas or possessions. Arrows shooting through the air. A sharp tone when speaking. Hot dry winds.
News of riots and military actions. Propaganda. To twist the truth and deliver a punch.
For personal use: Slow down speech and lower the tone, so your message is heard.
For business use: Send your eyes and ears everywhere to gather the latest information.
After 8:36 PM the Moon enters Aries to strike a match to a new idea. The results may be good but there are tough guys to deal with in order to get what you need.

Friday May 27, 2011. Friday is active with the Aries Moon that will present an opportunity before 8:30 when the Moon is 60° to the Sun. You may scramble to figure a way around an important problem that has a low point at 6:10 PM when the Moon opposes Saturn. The evening is more optimistic and lively. At 7:16 PM a brilliant pair, Mercury and Uranus in a semi-square speak out of turn about a need to flee from the thick situation.

TRANSITING MERCURY SEMI-SQUARE TRANSITING URANUS
Brief description: Can give the effects of a Mercury retrograde period. Thinking is brilliant and erratic. Thoughts or information is interjected and abruptly presented and can come from a radical viewpoint. Individual views are challenged. This can be a period of information of unexplained irritations and disjointed thinking. Statements made can be critical and without regard for feeling. Erratic transportation and mishaps are likely while traveling. Technology for communication can be interrupted.
For personal use: Get all the facts straight and think before you speak.
For business use: Too quirky to print the final product.

Matters tend to end well but you must go against the grain of Aries and apply your patience. Address your demons (marked by the Sun 150º Pluto Saturday May 28, 2011) and they will calm down.

For the week of Sat May 7 - Friday May 13, 2011

2011-05-09T12:46:00.000-04:00

The Weekly Astrology Report begins with the transcribed version from the 90.3 FM Newton, MA Radio Report followed by the interpretations of the individual aspects and this week’s First Quarter Moon Family report.

Sat Apr 30 2011 – Fri May 5 2011 - audio report transcribed.

Certainly there was a lot of news within this past week. As usual the nodes of the Moon were involved directly. You’ve often heard me speak of the nodes of the Moon which are imaginary points which are actually intersection points of two great circles where the Moon’s orbit crosses the ecliptic which is the apparent path of the Sun against the background of the stars. These points, north node of the Moon and south node of the Moon are extremely potent points and are the points where the solar and lunar eclipses will occur when a New or Full Moon occurs close to these points. Currently the north node is in the sign of Sagittarius and the south node is in the sign of Gemini. When the nodes reach a zodiacal degree of a solar or lunar eclipse major events follow. Looking back to the tragic earthquake and tsunami in Japan which occurred on March 11th, the node of the Moon had reached the point where a lunar eclipse had occurred earlier December of 2010. The delayed reaction makes sense as the node brings a widening effect which draws all eyes and ears to such monumental events with its powerful magnetic pull to this astro-memory which enlivens and revives some of the most dramatic events in history.

The heavens had a similar set last weekend April 29-May 2. The nodes of the Moon also at an eclipse degree but this time the eclipse is one in the future and it is at 24° Sagittarius and it is headed right for the events of the Royal wedding, elevating Pope John Paul to sainthood, and the demise of Osama bin Laden. This powerful time is explained by the very important transit of the nodes of the Moon.

I find it interesting that the Royal family is connected to events important to the Vatican. When Princess Diana died in August 1997, Mother Teresa died a week later. And when Charles and Camilla married, their wedding was bumped a day because Charles needed to attend the Pope’s funeral in April 2005. Prince William and Katherine married amidst the Pope John Paul path to Sainthood.

Moving on, there is one sign change that will occur this week which is on Wednesday when Mars enters Taurus until June 20, 2011. A stunning conjunction of Mercury and Venus occurs on Monday which is not all that common this year. This one is particularly unique because there will be two Mercury Venus conjunctions within a seven day period. The first event of this type occurs on the 9th and the second on the following Monday on the 16th. The final Mercury and Venus conjunction in 2011 will occur on August 16. I find that the Venus and Mercury conjunction is accompanied by very important statements. When I look for this conjunction prior to a person’s birth I interpret this as the point that defines one’s inner voice. So it makes a major statement and in some way. It may define the current economical state and political events. There are always plenty of that type of thing going on. Important gatherings for a particular statement might be part of the story. And for yourself you may find that you develop a voice for something important to you or take an important step forward. You may become clear about what it is you would like to do.

The first conjunction will occur in the sign of Aries, so it is something you want to get on with and direct. The second one will be in the sign of Taurus so it is more about money and perhaps you will find increases in that area, adding your own traditions and developing your talents.

There are green light things this week. Saturday May 7, is one of them. That means go for it. Move forward. Sunday May 8th another one and on May 9th , Monday that is good only until 4:34 am. After that there are few green light periods. Not until a very small little window on May 11th at 3:03 AM until 5:43 AM for a green light. So if you have something that you absolutely must get out in the middle of the week. You are going to have to get up early in the morning and take care of that between at 3:03 AM and 4:34 AM Wednesday morning. Otherwise, just pack it all in this weekend right up to 4:34 am Monday morning. It is golden because the Sun and the Moon are parallel at the end of that story, which brings about very positive results for your efforts.

A void of course Moon period which begins at 4:34 AM until 5: 43 AM Monday when the Moon enters Leo on Monday- that‘s the void of course Moon period. After that the Leo Moon is complicated by the fact that Mars is at the final degree as it approach the next sign. When a planet is at the end of one sign it tends to dominate the news in both personal and public areas. Mars may increase battles and create complications and mechanical problems, and vehicles. You may want to buy a new vehicle or may be forced to for some other reason. You may find work during this period.

The Virgo Moon beginning 9:58 AM on Wednesday appears to be expensive for financial and social reasons. Some may find a stroke of luck due to a triple conjunction of Venus, Mercury and Jupiter all at the end of the sign of Aries. Therefore they are aggressive, active and impatient. The Moon’s final aspect involves at 150° quincunx to the trio. Which means there will be a major problem or major opportunity that falls in your lap. It may involve a job or significant adjustment in regard to a social setting. We will watch how that works out. And the Virgo Moon ends when the Moon enters Libra at 11:56 AM on Friday through 12:31 PM on Sunday May 15th.
There is a void of course Moon period at 7:02 AM on Friday morning ending at 11:56 am when the Libra Moon begins. None of these days are particularly good for moving forward. The next really good day for moving forward is not until May 21st.

There is have a first quarter Moon on Monday. That is an action day. It is at 19 degrees of Leo. It is a piece to a story that began nine months ago. Take a look back to see what started around August 10, 2010. It could be related to a project or relationship. Now is when the fire under the pot is turned up and you are able to get things going. First quarter Moon days are high action days.

The events on Wednesday occur at 3:04 AM when Mars enters Taurus and that will change our goal setting towards acquisitions. We desire more we want to accumulate more although our actions are more methodical and plotting. There is a very lucky Venus and Jupiter conjunction at 10:42 am on Wednesday the 11th. And then Mercury is conjunct Jupiter at 3:57 pm on Wednesday 11th as well. This makes for excellent social connections and also a lot of things having to do with partnerships, thoughts of marriage and thoughts of traditional types of things as well.

On Thursday May 12, Mars and Neptune are in a sextile. This sets up an opportunity between described by these two planets where things can go very wrong or misguided. When Mars and Neptune are together their efforts become missions which are stepped up and their goals may not be above board. This combination tends to be a little “drunk” so to speak. There is also a goal for taking things to a spiritual level so out of mind out of body into an altered state might be a nice thing to practice yoga, meditation, that sort of thing. But Mars wants to move around. So maybe dancing, music, all of the like sides of that aspect would be fun.

On Friday there are no major aspects and that is pretty much the story for the week. We do have quite a bit of Venus and Jupiter energy this week. So I would say plan ahead for some lucky events and fun social gatherings. It should be a lot of fun. People will be meeting. Introductions are famous during a week of the Mercury and Venus conjunction. If you want to meet someone that could be important in your life take advantage of the Mercury Venus conjunction on Monday and perhaps even for Sunday night and also for Tuesday.
You have often heard me speak of the nodes of the Moon. The lunar nodes carry their mission when they reach an eclipse degree. Currently the nodes are traveling in their natural retrograde motion back though Sagittarius. So recently was the horrific Japan earthquake and tsunami March 11, 2011 when the lunar nodes revived the astro-memory of Dec 2010 lunar eclipse that occurred at the degree of the global axis 29°Gemini. The lunar nodes were then headed for the next major astro-event at 24° Sagittarius. This is the point where a June 15, 2011 lunar eclipse is to appear. There were three major events involving prominent figures and while still natural disasters reshape the earth’s terrain. The three events that clustered in one weekend was the Royal Wedding of William and Kate, the elevation of Pope Paul to sainthood, and the death of Osama bin Laden. It is interesting to note that the British Royals have been linked with prominent Catholic leaders in the past when Mother Teresa died within the same week of Princess Diana and Pope John Paul’s funeral changed the date Charles and Camilla wedding day April 8, 2005 to the following day so that Prince Charles could attend the Pope’ Funeral.

A very interesting conjunction of Mercury and Venus are to appear twice in a week; first on Monday May 9 then Monday May 16th. The last time this pair joined for a repeat appearance was in August 1991 when both were retrograde. At this time they are both traveling in direct motion.

My research indicates this unassuming pair is present for some major personal events also there may be economic and political events such as important gatherings which join for a particular statement. For yourself you may find you develop you voice in regard to an important matter.

The Green Light Days this week are:

Saturday May 7, 2011
Sunday May 8,
Monday May 9 until 4:34 AM )Moon parallel Sun)
Void Moon period from 4:34 AM until 5:35 AM Monday when the Moon enters Leo. The Leo Moon period is complicated by Mars at the final degree calling the shots and many are literally. There may be increased battles and complications due to mechanics and technical issues. Vehicles could be a problem. However you may be considering the purchase of a new car.
There is a green light briefly on Wednesday morning May 11 from 3:03 AM until 5:43 AM. At this time begins the void Moon period ending at 9:58 AM the void Moon period ends when the Moon enters Virgo until Friday. The last thing the Virgo Moon encounters is a pile up of Jupiter, Mercury and Venus at the end of Aries. There fore there is a big faux pas of some sort to clean up with the 150° angle from Virgo to this trio.

Matters for the Virgo Moon are highly expensive with both money and socially.
Not until May 21, 2001 is there a good day to push ahead with your goals.

THIS WEEK'S MOON PHASE: First Quarter Moon at 19° Leo 51’ on Tuesday May 10, 2011 at 4:33 PM.

Below you can find four related Moon phases that form a group called a "Moon Family." A Moon Family is special because each of the four related Moon phases shares a lineage with this weeks' First Quarter Moon. This Moon Family began at a New Moon nine months ago. Notice all four Moon phases occur near the same zodiacal degree and are separated by a nine-month interval. A Moon family is a remarkable timing tool that links the dates of your story-lines in a pattern that develops over a two-and-a-quarter-year period and is often renewed after three years with a New Moon near the same degree as this Moon Family. I have named the nine month interval the "Lunar Gestation Cycle" and when grouped form a Moon Family. See if your current situation connects to the Moon Family found within two weeks of the following dates:

The following four lunar phases belong to the Moon Family for the
May 10, 2011 First Quarter Moon at 19° Leo 51’.

New Moon - August 9, 2010 at 17° Leo 24’
First Quarter - May 10, 2011 at 19° Leo 51
Full Moon - February 7 2012 at 18° Leo 31
Last Quarter- November 6, 2012 at 15° Leo 00

You can use the dates in this Moon Family to reflect or project into the future when you focus on your current situation. Once you realize your story is part of the "bigger picture" you may relate to each phase in the Moon Family as it carries your storyline along a path of a logical evolution. Expect related topics, either personal or public to resurface on the dates shown in the future. By following the symbolism of the four Moon phases which represent the various stages or your story, you develop greater insights to the timing and meaning of the events in your life. As the phases form at nine month intervals, watch your storyline emerge as a new event or new beginning at the New Moon stage.

Nine months later there is a progressive and enthusiastic growth stage when the First Quarter Moon appears (notes its near the same degree of the New Moon). At this stage you may know what your want to do but are just getting started. You need to make choices and selections or apply for permits, licenses or perhaps travel tickets or the next stage in a relationship.

Watch your story completely bloom and come to completion or some other Full Moon platform such as deadlines, full disclosure, case presentations, weddings and the like.

In another nine months you may reap the rewards for your efforts as this stage brings matters to a close by the time that this Moon Family's Last Quarter Moon occurs. This is the pay-up or get-paid Moon phase. At this time you will collect the productive pieces of this two and a quarter years to seed the future. It can be a period when you are motivated to clear out or let go of things that are no longer useful. However people things may return to you during the last quarter phase you once thought to be finished. You may return to places where you had once traveled or visit with people from those places.

Weekly Astrology Report
Sat Apr 30 2011 – Fri May 5 2011 - audio report
It was a wonderful lovely royal wedding. It was at 11:20 am when they actually exchanged their vows. It was a pretty cool start to that wedding that we will go over that later at another time, probably in my class.
For today we have an Aries moon. And that Aries moon is headed for a couple of things that are going on. There is an aspect between mars and Jupiter that is just absolutely brilliant and wonderful. So we’ll talk about that in a second.
We have some green light days. Beginning today Sunday right through 12:23 am. That means go ahead and do it. What ever it is you have your heart set on and you want to push forward. You can send a lot of emails over the weekend to set things in gear. So push forward from now right up to 12:23 am. And it was also good early this morning. Then again there is another green light period Wednesday 1:09 pm until 4:12 pm on Friday. There are a couple of VOC moon periods one that is going to be very long.
And the VOC moon periods are from 12:23 am on Monday until 1:58 am Monday when the moon goes into Taurus. And then there is a longer one and that is going to be VOC on Tuesday 2:50 am until 1:09 pm on Wednesday.
The VOC moon periods mean your judgment is off. Things don’t go through the way you expect or unusual or bizarre things could happen and you could potentially push that theory with the Taurus moon because the moon is exalted in the sign of Taurus. And there are seven stars at the end of Taurus, which cancel out any VOC moon period. So use at your own risk. Test it out. Let me know how that works out.
Recheck times before this paragraph.
We are also coming into a dark moon phase. And that begins on Sunday May 1st at 1:06 pm until Wednesday 3:55 pm. That means there is a new moon coming and we are in the dark of the moon. So the things that you are trying to develop or trying to forward or trying to advance in any way shape or form you don’t have all the information. You are missing facts. This is a Taurus new moon. This has to do with money in particular. This has to do with building, laying down a monetary foundation. And there are some things that are difficult about it. The sun and the moon in aspect to Saturn. So there is a lot of work to be done. There are few gains and a lot of hard work in regard to the seed that is planted with this new moon. But that doesn’t happen until Tuesday.
And for right now we’ve got a balancing act between two really excellent aspects and one nasty aspect. The really good ones are mars and Jupiter came into a parallel and then they continue on into a conjunction that is exact on Sunday. And in between that is a Venus and Saturn opposition and this aspect has a lot to do with damage to property or love is just a lot of hard work or there may be feelings of separation from loved ones. There is an insensitivity sometimes .difficulty getting through your emotional needs and also financial needs. So you could keep a real close watch on your wallet, you luggage keep them close to you. and avoid applying for any loans until that aspect is over. But there is going to be this sort of cancellation in a sense of negative of that aspect when we have the mars Jupiter, it is a very favorable lucky aspect and it moves things forward in a big way. So it is optimistic. It also connects to a benefactor. The abundance is met with competence. That you are going to do great. There is courage, there is energy, and there is drive. It is a sign of a full charge batteries. Lots of activity that could lead to positive reaction. But it could also be legal action if people are over enthusiastic. About something might makes right mentality. This could be quarrelsome and prone to errors. I think what you might find is a step up in military action because mars and Jupiter combinations very often go that way.
And then what we have for may 1st also mercury is center square to Neptune. That aspect is on Sunday and it has to do with a confusing state of mind. And there is some sort of distortion of the truth. There is difficulty diagnosing a problem. And there could be hidden facts or lost information.
The other thing about it is bad weather. Clouds and things to ruin your day. Look out for insider leaks. You may get a piece of information that you were not meant to get. Transiting moon enters the sign of Taurus on May 2nd 1:57 and that is when our focus then turns to matters of traditions any thing having to do with gatherings. Food first. bonding is important with a Taurus moon and also use your art of persuasion in all of your affairs because people are more set and rigid in their notions. So you need to be persuasive, you need to be kind. You need to do use things like you go out to lunch or what ever to get your point across. And Take time. So don’t push.
Then we have Venus and mercury in an aspect. This is a wonderful beautiful aspect aligns with the intelligent and the generous and soft side of people for the purpose of a positive message. It is also a good aspect for visiting with friends and family members. It is about love and signs of expressions of beauty that are also in your awareness and there are some sensitivities and reactions to foods that you might experience.
Then we have the sun and Saturn now this is an aspect in the chart of the new moon. You may feel confronted by a brick wall. It is a 150 degree aspect. I call it life’s messy clean it up. So it is the seed that is planted. This new moon is going to make this aspect. Where you will need to drop something that you are doing and make an adjustment. Clean up something that has been set off in the wrong direction. It could have to do with a boss or a parent. Someone else that is in charge that need that you to manage their agenda in another way. Perhaps mend people’s feelings with a Taurus moon. Take a lot of care when laying foundations. Look for where there might be weak spots don’t just move forward and gloss over. Take your time. Family members are brought into matters. It is shortages. It is a difficult aspect.
Also Venus will make an aspect to Neptune. This one is very romantic it is on May 3rd. it has to do with imagination and color. You can’t find the things. Articles are lost, money vanishes, relationship issues cluster, there are illusions, unusual foods could produce strange effects. At any rate you want to be careful of that one.
Then we have the moon changing signs entering Gemini on Wednesday and that will be at 1:09 pm. And then our mind switches over to something where you are tending to details you are trying to turn your information to something productive. So there is a lot of facts a lot of things a lot of errands around town. And then we have the last aspect of that Gemini moon sextile mars so that is an excellent moon sign from Wednesday right through until 4:12 pm Friday to move forward. You are likely to make those connections that you are looking for.
We have the cancer moon on May 6th. There are no major aspects. The Cancer moon begins at 10:32 pm Friday runs right through until May 9th Monday which is another excellent Green Light period, so GO FOR IT! You can probably expect to be involved with family members and things that are close to home you may not feel like sharing things with others. That is pretty much it for the week.

Mercury is now traveling direct in motion until August 2, 2011.
This Mercury retrograde station has been filled with crisis, challenges, stalemates and standstills. You may have felt cut off and isolated from those that bring you comfort. With Mercury at 12:54 Aries when it turned direct was opposite retrograde Saturn at 12 Libra. This creates a set up for mental blocks and failed attempts. You may have been frustrated the entire week with annoying mishaps and seemingly constant misunderstandings. The good news is that most of this is behind us with the exception of next Saturday's Venus - Saturn opposition.
Expense is measured through the relationships as well as money.
As you move forward your efforts are less likely to be met with paper jams and missed calls. Maybe you have spilled just about everything you touch. I have. The extreme resistance to compromise is evident with this elongated opposition of Mercury and Saturn.

My thoughts about the Royal Wedding will follow this report. The charts of William and Kate and their marriage will be the topic of the astrology class this Monday night in Watertown. This is a very interesting study that you won’t want to miss. Call ahead for your seat in the class and directions. Although there is no birth time available for Kate Middleton her solar chart supplies adequate information for this study.

Weekly Astrology Report
Sat Apr 16 2011 – Fri Apr 22 2011 – Transcribed audio report
phone 617-924-0929

We have a very powerful week happening here. There is a full moon Sunday night. It is power packed. The moon is as close as it gets to the earth in its cycle this month. It’s almost as close as it was with last month’s full moon. The Sun is aligned with Mars. The moon is aligned with a hypothetical planet Apollon, as in the Sun God Apollo. It is related to Apollo the Sun God. This gives the full Moon chart a sort of double sun meaning Apollon will duplicate or double the influence of anything that connects. There is this multiple multi-dimensional quality to it. Sees it as two Suns with an enormous amount of solar energy, solar power. Also qualities of talents and things have to do with putting your best foot forward.

It is expected for the full moon to come to the table compromise and try to move forward in a well thought out manner. The types of things that we can expect with this is there will be greater firing of bombs and missiles and all that sort of thing that’s going on in the Middle East that is stepped up with this duplication thing. Then also there will be multiple marriages, multiple divorces that would apply as well. There are all sorts of things you will want to think through before you move forward. Compromise is the best way to deal with things. Mercury is retrograde so you don’t want to make any major decisions without leaving a lot of room for adjustment later.

The best days this week to take action and move forward going to be on Thursday after 12:06 am until 12:53 pm. And also Next Saturday after 6:04 am when Mercury finally turns direct until early Sunday morning.

So what we have for the most difficult days this week that’s going to be Sunday and Monday, this day will feel pretty tense as well because of the full moon. Deadlines are right in front of you, you have to complete, and you have to join, bring others into the mix. Hear their side or show their sides. So be fair go and try and let fairness be part of the solution.

April 16 Mercury is parallel Jupiter. This aspect has to do with travelling or increased intellectual capacity. Writing publishing teaching, all those things where information comes from great distances. Probably bringing a new insight, a new piece of information. There is a change of scenery that would help get your mind going. It is a talkative day. It is also social.
Also transiting Mars is opposing Saturn. We will feel that in tomorrow’s full moon. And for the full moon, it is definitely a time of great stresses on partnerships and agreements. And we can allow for things that reoccur and reengage with things with Mercury retrograde. Workers strikes are possible. Also dead stop calling for action to stop in its tracks. That is the nature of that Saturn and Mars opposition. Sheer frustration. You have to start and stop and allow for all sorts of things to come in. there are potential for cuts off, blocks, and loss of jobs. An athletic challenge that is going to be very difficult. Hopes the Celtics win. It is really hot and cold with Saturn opposite Mars. Objections to judicial rulings. Some type of an end to a major battle. It is very, very exhausting. Don’t get a lot of rest during this time. Reinforce your supplies. And be careful of your teeth. Don’t be biting into things too hard for your teeth. And you want to utilize the best problem solvers. That is the only major aspect going on for Monday April 18th.

Tuesday April 19, 2011
Mercury conjunct Mars. Now this aspect will be around for a couple of days. Calls it “foot in mouth” aspect. And will be continued with Mercury parallel Mars also on Wednesday. So Tuesday and Wednesday we have that rush of mental energy, mental urgency. Very over reactive. Sometimes too much you have to think before you speak. Some judgments are real quick and real accurate. And others are not. So patience and process. Process your words, process your thoughts before they leave your mouth.

Very quick travel or plans suddenly to have to travel sending enough equipment is likely and maybe you are moving things around on that day. Moving from one job/ task to the next. People expect very fast work.
Also keep an eye out for animals on the road. There May be animals that stray out of the house that are not familiar with cars also wild animals. Also look out for other signals from your pets that they may need your help. It is definitely a day to cut through red tape. That is the kind of thing that we can expect to see with Mercury Mars is that we can possible can reach the person you are trying to get to.

We have a moon sign change from Libra to Scorpio Monday morning at 2:19 am. The Scorpio moon is not meant for light weights. So you want to take a seasoned professional with you. And the Scorpio moon will continue until 2:50 am on Wednesday.

Wednesday is very nice particularly very optimistic type of day. Sun enters Taurus. The focus is put on financial matters, economic matters around the world. The Sun is also sextile Neptune. there is that quality of finding solutions in a visionary way. Finding ways from hidden sources to make things work. The Sun will be in the sign of Taurus for the next month until the sun enters Gemini on May 21st.

The other things that are going on for Thursday - a very good day. The moon is VOC however after 12:57 pm Venus changes signs on Thursday and enters Aries. Venus is compromised in this sign because she is really looking to stand and get her needs met in a very quick way and she is not thinking things through. Venus in Aries lacks the quality of long thought out desires. She is right there along side of Mars. Mars is going to go right along with her. Mars is dominate because Mars is in its own sign. She is not subtle in appearance. She tends to be showy. So this is when the people are really motivated to satisfy their own needs somewhat impatiently. Then the sun is contra-parallel Neptune. This is Good intentions; idealistic plans are met with executive objections. There is creative streak here that becomes confused. Too much information from processing the project. Inspiration is part of your motivation. So work with color design and things of that nature for that Thursday April 21st aspect.

Then what we have is the moon void of course period ending on Friday at 6:24 am when the moon enters Capricorn. A Capricorn moon is all about business. We do have an aspect between Venus and Uranus;this allows like-minded people find one another very spontaneously. They have some connection with groups or some common interest. But also brings strange bed fellows together. There is likely to a lot of unusual attire. Love relationships may suddenly form but also suddenly split apart. So you may want to be a lot cautious about whom you attract on that day.
At the end of the week Mercury is turning direct. 6:04 am next Saturday. And that’s it for the week.
