The following report was transcribed.

Good morning. Well, our Mercury retrograde period is certainly full of it’s tricks, and it will continue right through until the 28th of February. And it really doesn’t give us much of a break because Mars will go retrograde the next day on March 1st. on March 2nd Saturn will go retrograde and on March 6th Jupiter will turn direct, making it all sort of bigger than life and this very difficult stretch that we are going through. But it doesn’t mean that it all ends badly. There is a lot areas and Green Light periods to help you to open up doors and receive some benefits for this very, very difficult time period. Another major event this week is the Sun square Saturn.
In general the Sun will make two squares to Saturn in any and every year, and one opposition, and of course one conjunction. So there are four major aspects between the Sun and Saturn. Whenever this aspect comes about it is accompanied by a time of an uphill battle. So the good news is, is that after Tuesday things may begin to soften, and you may be able to have a little bit of a rest, little bit of a breather. This square may be a preview of how things will turn out for that upcoming retrograde Saturn March 2. The Sun square Saturn this week is sort of unofficial signal that Saturn will turn retrograde.

As for Green Light days, we do have one today (Feb8) during this Gemini Moon period, which began yesterday (Friday Feb 7) after 1:44 PM, continues right until 4:08 PM on Sunday. This one allows for an opening for many events to come with some difficulties, for you to work out, and in the end things work out. But when you are allowed to give a full explanation, or when you gain full disclosure of the matters that you need to find out, the true ends. It sort of like if you are buying a car. When you see the car facts or when you are adding vital clarifying facts that must be submitted before an authority figure, the issue could escalate, if you don’t make yourself clear, into an unmanageable situation. However, in the end there should be a matter that could include; there is adjustments because of money or there is adjustments because of further supervision, or something like that that continues. But in the end, things will work out with the Gemini Moon before the Void of Course Moon period at 4:08 PM Sunday, February 9th. And that Void of Course Moon period continues until 1:33 AM on Monday.

Now Monday is a Cancer Moon. Cancer Moon is about home and family. Whereas Gemini is a little more superficial, little more detached. It is when you are out running your errands and that is when you are making plans to meet with other people, you run into people, you are around your neighborhood, and doing all sorts of busy work. And the Cancer Moon is a time when you sort of want to curl in and be in your protective space take care of matters of home and houses and family matters. Those matters are not moving in an easy direction because the Cancer Moon has a couple of difficulties. For one the Sun is still going to be making that square to Saturn so that is going to make Monday feel very, very heavy. And also your advisers are for very serious matters and that is also going to influence all of Monday. There is something very good about the advisers, they are indicated very well later in the day on Monday, even though you shouldn’t sign or agree to anything. Sometimes you just have to. and what is so difficult about the Cancer Moon is that is also sets off that Grand Cardinal Cross, which starts on Monday night 9:27, when the Moon is square Uranus. And then the Moon will conjunct Jupiter in Cancer the next morning at 12:27 AM, that is just after midnight. The Moon then opposes Pluto 3:04 AM and then also it will oppose Venus. Both Pluto and Venus are in Capricorn, Uranus is in the sign of Aries. And then we get ready for that exact conjunction between the Sun and Saturn at 2:57 PM. And then whew! You can take a little breather, but there is a little bit of an argument left over at the end of that Cancer sign. There are some softening factors that you need to use your art of persuasion and have patience when trying to communicate your issues to others. Your greatest help is through perhaps an older woman or a seasoned professional.

There is also a little snag with the Sun and the Moon on Wednesday during that Cancer Moon, and that is going to be at 12:58 AM. Most of us here will be in bed, but if you hear anything bump in the night that is that quincunx 150 degree aspect between the Moon and the Sun, that’s life’s messy clean it up. And you also have a Moon square Mars at 5:51 AM. And you are probably anxiously waiting for the Plumbers to call you back or the heating company to fill up the tank. That could be a very, very cold, not snuggling in as a Cancer Moon would like too. Then the Moon changes signs on Wednesday entering the sign of Leo for a couple of days. And you have a couple of things that are going on that will be very important. One will be retrograde Mercury backs up into the sign of Aquarius. So did I mention the entire sign of Cancer is not a go forward Green Light time. It is not favorable for conducting any kind of good business. But there is a Green Light period after 10:30 PM when Mercury goes into Aquarius Wednesday night, and then we have that for the following couple of days as we build up for that Full Moon (STOP 42:21) that is headed our way.

There is only a minor aspect on Thursday. Although, I’ll edit that minor part because it is the Sun making a semi square to Uranus. Well, that means it is going to set off that Grand Cardinal Cross again. Uranus in Aries, Jupiter in Cancer, Mars in Libra, and Pluto and Venus in Capricorn. So it is always a big event when a planet makes an aspect to any one of those planets. So we get a dose again of that major configuration. It starts things up - that configuration is not all bad. It helps you to break through things that have been stagnant for a long time, but sometimes with a lot of surprises, twists, and turns. There is a lot of difficulties that could be made. There is a good opportunity to find a good piece of property or perhaps a good business deal also on Thursday, which is a Green Light day, so is Friday.

Happy Valentines Day February 14th and it seems there is some celebratory energy with the Sun making an aspect to Jupiter at 3:35 PM on Friday, Great time to check to see if your reservations are still there. Mercury is retrograde so that means a lot of people are in a miscommunication mode, not understanding each other. It is a really good thing to go back to a place where you’ve already visited that, you already know that you like, you’ve checked it all out before. Anything that is brand new has difficulties ahead of it. Your plans may not work out the way you think, or maybe they’ve changed the Chef or something, and its not quite up to your standards.


The Full Moon at 6:53 PM. This one involves Mars because the Sun is trine Mars. The Moon is in a nice 60 degree aspect to Mars. A trine is a 120 degrees, very nice. And it leaves an opening for some big major event, sort of looks like the Olympics. And with the Sun square to Saturn, which will be over by Tuesday, seems to be a little bit of relief by the time this Full Moon comes. So the stage could be set for something very large. And it could bring about something that you have to readjust for ,and make plans with others to clean up, and do things that are filled with surprises and you need to manage things.

There is also that intensity with the Full Moon. It is at 26 degrees of Leo. And this Full Moon is related to things that began last May (2013) (STOP 45:40). So this may be the end of matters. If there is still some sort of continuation that you have, you may probably bounce back and forth with that a month later. But there is something that ends and clarifies matters. If you have your goals that you wish to sort out and make plans with people. Let’s say you are planning a wedding and you want to hire a band. I would wait until after Mercury goes direct, although this one will be tricky. There is that problem with band members, the star of the show not being there. So the band could change, or the caterer could change. This is not going to be a day off kind of day. February 14th should have some hard work energy to it. If you have a star you would like to see, their defining moments could be coupled around the Full Moon, which would be on Friday. But also Thursday night there is a factor and also Saturday morning. All the cards will be on the table and there is a boost to advancement for some.

The Sun and the Moon will also be past their great difficulties when they had made their aspects to Saturn. And Saturn is in Scorpio, which is very deep and intense. What shows to be a problem lies with finding who and what to do after you find who is responsible or what is responsible for the troubles. And that can come out in this Full Moon. Mars in Libra is featured during this Full Moon. So lots of things could go off with an unwelcome bang, not all things are beautiful when they are trine. You have to figure who are the players and Mars is not in a good sign (Mars for itself). Mars is in the sign of Libra, which means it is behaving badly and you wish you hadn’t participated with this. Larger events take center stage. And there is even a greater change and a greater charge to all of these things (STOP 48:89) coupled around that Full Moon because the Lunar Nodes, that is the Nodes of the Moon, that axis will be changing. It will be moving from 0 degrees Scorpio to 29 degrees of Libra, Friday through Tuesday. And this could create a major event that is very stunning as well. This is where also people are coming and going, and changing seats, changing the guard, and how we relate to others, and how we shift consciousness is the focus. We could be completely interested and focused on fairness, balance, and justice with the new Libra sign. So this is not a guarantee that all these principles will be elevated, just that they will be analyzed in a big way.

The people that come into your life, you might be attracting more Aries and Libra people, when the nodes change signs. And I think of the last time this happened, this pivot over this area of Scorpio back Libra. Or which happened 9 and a half years (STOP 49:30) ago, which was Taurus over to Aries - the opposite side. There was the Tsunami, Christmas Tsunami in 2004. So it can be very sweeping, sweeping changes and events that could include a lot of geological shift. There is that large glacier that is traveling faster and faster and faster all the time. I was listening to that on NPR (National Public Radio) yesterday, and how it is moving at such a fast clip that it is amazing the scientists. So that’s it for the week. It will not be uneventful. It will probably be very eventful especially coming into the Full Moon. I wish you a Happy Valentines day and Happy Olympics. May we all be safe and happy, and we will talk again next week.
