Piscean Rainbow Strand
Astrology only correlates to reality-it does not cause it.
Tuesday, February 21, 2012, at 4:35 pm, CST; both Sun (conscious will) & Moon (unconscious instincts) sit together at 2*42 sensitive, water-sign Pisces which is the equation of a New Moon in Pisces. A New Moon means a period of new birth, new beginnings, initiation of a new cycle, emergence & projection…visions & creations felt but not yet seen. The electromagnetic field of unifying Pisces represents energy that is imaginative, impressionable, spiritual, compassionate, psychic, receptive, empathic, healing, musical, creative, inspiring & able to go with the flow. WOW! As I’m writing PBS radio just finished playing the symphony piece of Neptune by Gustav Holst! I wondered what that beautiful, otherworldly music was…very dreamlike…of course.
Neptune moved into its home sign of intuitive, receptive Pisces on February 3rd, 2012, where it will remain throughout the beginning of 2026. It is one of the three outer transpersonal planets (Uranus, Neptune & Pluto) which function as higher frequency transmitters; nebulous, ego-dissolving Neptune takes 165 years to orbit our Sun and is considered to be the universal Cosmic Solvent..Surrender Dorothy! The urge to merge is the main idea..fog & the ocean are Earthly examples..no boundaries anywhere! Faith, prayer & meditation are also prime examples of Neptunian expression. Film & alcohol as well as oil are connected to this alluring world where things can be difficult when they indiscriminately slip into extremes of confusion, escapism, delusion, impracticality, deception or illusion.
Healing Nature
Transcendent Neptune at 0*42 (zero degrees & 42 minutes) Pisces is very close to the Sun & Moon with Chiron at 5* Pisces on the other side of them. Mystical, magical, mysterious, ethereal & visionary energies certainly permeate the atmosphere!
Chiron is the small maverick planet that travels inbetween Saturn (the magnetic earthbody) & Uranus (the electrical lightbody). It is symbolized by the Wounded Healer in mythology or the archetype of imperfection & loss which when integrated within the self leads to compassion & understanding of others’ suffering. Chiron is our Inner Spiritual Teacher…like the shaman in communication with the forces of nature. Discovered in 1977, it is becoming more active in our psyche at this time to prepare humanity for contact with intelligence beyond human realms & our 3- dimensional reality.
We also have practical, organized, responsible & disciplined Saturn at the end of relating Libra adding its particular strength & wisdom along with idealistic, enthusiastic, truth-seeking Jupiter in resourceful, productive, stable earthy Taurus. Both are assisting with the outpouring of universal love & compassion of the healing Piscean New Moon group.
What a glorious opportunity! Remember flowers & birds dispel negative energy….

“Everyone has all of the signs & all of the planets somewhere in their birthchart”
Tuesday, February 7, 2012, 3:54 pm, CST: Playful, fiery Leo Moon at 18*32 is exactly opposite Sun in eclectic, airy Aquarius 18*32. The peak illumination of the Full Moon reveals the radiant Sun’s energy & light reflected upon Ms. Moon (the Moon is totally a feminine being) who then beams it out to all. If you can’t see it, you can still feel it. This is the flowering phase of the lunation 8-phase cycle. Keep in mind the Moon actually has a 29 day repeating cycle…that’s why there are 13 Full Moons in a year.
The opposition aspect (180* apart) of the Full Moon manifests in the polarity or separation of two very different energies which call for balance & integration of both within each of us. Communicator Mercury is sitting at the same degree as the Sun at 18* Aquarius. Intuition is flowing..use it rather than being soo left-brained. Our nervous system, which relates to electrical Aquarius and speedy, changeable Mercury, needs tender loving care now as well.
The electromagnetic field of Leo is associated with our Sun…dramatic, dynamic, romantic, dignified & commanding Leo is egocentric; needing to create, play, perform, express self & be recognized; self-confident Leo thrives on attention & appreciation. The generous, loving, proud, self-assured Lion or Lioness (the king/queen or natural leader) is courageous, flamboyant & magnanimous. Like the Sun’s flaming rays, the love of Leo constantly radiates from the fiery Leo heart! We definitely need more of that!
Boulder Lake
During this Full Moon the orbiting Sun is in the sign of futurist, high-frequency Aquarius. The progressive, liberal, humanitarian & altruistic qualities of the waterbearer (no, it is NOT a water sign, it is an air sign) are very social & people-oriented, tolerant, democratic & friendly (forget about Dick Chaney).
Aquarius is associated with energy transmitter Uranus, the planet symbolizing awakening related to soul consciousness, illumination or revelation; Uranus operates unpredictably, suddenly, unexpected…breaking us free from the old, familiar status quo existence. This transpersonal planet also expresses as the rebel, the revolutionary, the genius, or the innovator… the part of us that is unconventional, eccentric, non-conformist, original & doesn’t care about the conventions of the norm. Is there a normal anymore?! WARNING: These two exciting energy fields, Leo & Aquarius, are fixed signs, so watch the stubbornness factor.
Neptune entered its home sign of Pisces on Saturday, Feb. 4th and will be in Pisces through 2026. We have time to get into that later.
Saturn in Libra (relating, creating order, harmony & balance) turns Retrograde (backward) on the Full Moon day, Feb. 7th, until it once again moves Direct (forward) on June 25th. We will have an opportunity to re-evaluate our self-made rules, regulations & restrictions that are stifling our growth. Saturn is thee Teacher!
My favorite holiday..VALENTINE’S DAY, February 14th… true Leo/Aquarian spirit!
Active Mars is still retrograde in Virgo until April 13th. Cultivate patience.

Aquarius New Moon 1.23.2012 January 20, 2012

As Above So Below
Early Monday, January 23, 2012: the wonderous New Moon of air-sign Aquarius is exact at 1:40 am, CST (or Tues. Jan. 22, 11:39 pm, PST). Both lights, Sun & Moon, are in fixed Aquarius 2*42; this monthly phase reveals the dark of the Moon when no sunlight is reflected; it is time for conception, renewal & the birthing of new forms. As the first New Moon of 2012 it initiates a brand new cycle, certainly on the global & universal scale, not to mention personal. The frequencies of this electromagnetic field operate at a speed that traverse wavelengths instantly, like lightning bolts…what is warp speed? We might find out.
Aquarian energy, which we all have in varying degrees, represents a need to be original, innovative & to help create social change. Independent, freedom-loving, unconventional, humanitarian, progressive & revolutionary qualities describe this sign … high-voltage transmitter Uranus, associated with Aquarius, breaks up the status-quo (stuck) reality we have created for ourselves. Uranus is the awakener, the liberator, the rebel, radical, the disruptor, & the eccentric fanatic. Uranian power shatters our crystalized situations suddenly, unexpectedly & unpredictably. It also signifies inspiration, genius, technology, invention & blessed intuition...instant knowing.
Artist?
Sun & Moon in individualistic Aquarius at 2*42 make a challenging aspect (square) to both structured, conventional Saturn in social Libra 29*17, and to expansive Jupiter in productive , earthy Taurus 1*44. We are changing the rules by which we play. Sudden-change Uranus pushes the limits of restrictive Saturn, asking us to open the channels for new information as we are being rewired & upgraded. Learn to trust & follow your intuition, which is not controlled by one’s ego. Don’t let stubbornness keep you in its grips of fear.
Otherwise all systems say go. What intentions are you committed to? What is important to you? I am choosing to focus on daily meditation, use the treadmill regularly & play the piano more frequently. (besides all the other stuff)…like listening, being quiet, slowing down, being in the present moment…
Uranian Waves
Active, assertive Mars in meticulous Virgo 23* turns Retrograde (backward) on Jan. 23rd…the same day as the New Moon. Risk-taking, warrior Mars travels back through skillful Virgo in February, March, until April 13th when it turns Direct (forward) once again in grounded Virgo 4*. We will have lots of time to take care of business & pay attention to necessary details of living. The impulsive, competitive, eager & brave Mars part of us will need to practice patience & use energy resources to function efficiently, to be discerning, disciplined, economical, organized & conscientious in the ways we choose to serve humanity.
Ethereal Neptune moves out of Aquarius on February 3rd, 2012, & into its home electromagnetic field of Pisces where it will be for the next 13 years. More on that in the near future.
Enjoy this Chinese Year of the Dragon which starts on January 23rd of course!!

Happy New Year 2012! Cancer Full Moon 1.8/9.2012 January 1, 2012
Posted by cosmicsense in astrology, Full Moons.add a comment
Serenity
My New Year’s resolution is instead of saying “What’s wrong with this?” I say ”What’s right with this?” just to alleviate the negativity in my space…been doing it for a month now & it works!
New Year’s Eve & Day (Jan. 1st) with 10* steadfast Capricorn Sun, we have a lively, enthusiastic & headstrong Aries Moon gifting us with endless energetic activity; especially on the Eve when the Moon is conjunct (close to) electrical transmitter Uranus…the original, independent, unpredictable radical disrupter, which also indicates optimal intuition at work. People will take risks.
Monday, January 9, 2012, at 1:30am, CST, the Moon is Full at 18*26 sensitive Cancer exactly opposite Sun at 18*26 practical Capricorn. Assertive, impulsive, courageous Mars makes harmonious aspects to both of these lights at this time, which is a blessing.
Saturn, the Teacher, associated with ambitious Capricorn but currently at 29* Libra (seeking balance) is very active now…Saturn strengthens us through endurance & persistence; it represents the first law of manifestation which is limitation..using discipline, patience, even humor, taking responsibility & being organized, stable & persevering can only improve one’s ability to overcome obstacles.
Saturn now makes a flowing trine aspect to the trio of Venus at 24* Aquarius, Neptune at 29* Aquarius & Chiron in early Pisces; we can use this opportunity to reprogram or structure our universe on a deep, most fundamental level that will facilitate our healing spiritual evolvement into the mysterious unknown…the Eternal Blue Sky. (Please insert any words you prefer here)
Back to my New Year activity…I’m cleaning my desk & office…redoing, purging, washing, organizing, whatever…to music of course…just found this quote in a pile…

Solstice, New Moon & Onward 12.21.2011 December 21, 2011
Posted by cosmicsense in astrology, New Moons.add a comment
All I Want for Christmas Is.....
The Winter Solstice, in the Northern Hemisphere, happens tonight, Wednesday, December 21, 2011, CST, at 11:30 PM when the magnificent Sun moves into the very first degree (out of 30 degrees) of Capricorn. The longest night of the year, but each day from now on will contain a little more light as we head for the Summer Solstice. What a great concept! Who came up with this anyway?!? I filled my front porch with lights & stars…Happy Solstice!
Saturday, Dec. 24th, 2011, 12:07 PM, CST, New Moon at 2*34 Capricorn: both Sun & Moon sit together in the Earth-sign of responsible, disciplined, conservative, organized, methodical & ambitious Capricorn. At 7* Capricorn, heavy-duty Pluto, brings life & death changes, metaphorical or literal, as well as other intense, in-depth emotional, mental, psychological & spiritual transformations, and is very close to this Sun & New Moon… adding tremendous power & energy during this time of New Beginnings. Control, manipulation & power issues abound. We can surrender to this opportunity for our personal empowerment; acknowledging the deep, extreme feelings that may surface in this compressed time…accept ourselves & others without judgement instead of causing or adding to a dramatic scene. You are in charge of YOU.
Lively Jupiter, seeker of truth, turns Direct on Christmas Day, Dec. 25th, 2011, at 0*22 Taurus, expanding our patience, calmness & practicality…more Earth energy…helps us to stay grounded.
I’ll keep this short in this busy season..just wanted to share these tidbits of cosmic info. Visualize Peace & send alot of love energy toward North Korea & its new leader.

Gemini Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse 12.10.2011 December 9, 2011
Posted by cosmicsense in astrology, Full Moons, Lunar Eclipse.add a comment
- Water Forms
Everyone has all of the signs & all of the planets somewhere in their birthchart.
Saturday, December 10th, 2011, 8:36 AM, CST, we experience (visible in Western US & Canada) a total Lunar Eclipse taking place in the opposing electromagnetic fields of enthusiastic, fiery Sagittarius & airy, communicative Gemini. The flaring solar orb (Sun consciousness) is currently in Sagittarius at 18* exactly opposite the Lunar sphere (unconscious Moon) at 18* Gemini.
A Lunar Eclipse can only occur during a Full Moon where the exact same degree is highlighted in opposing signs. The Earth (the present) is directly in-between the Sun (future) & the Moon (past) & works with the same questions/issues from the polarity of different viewpoints. Our current needs are receiving all available solar power. We are released from the past, reaping the benefits of it, if we can break free from restrictive conditioning, habitual behavior & destructive emotional reactions. Deep unconscious material is bound to surface now, so remain flexible, cooperative & patient. Breathe alot, especially before responding to whatever/whoever shows up. (I will try to be kinder…even in my thoughts! ) This process is extremely important due to the pertinent placement of the symbolic Nodes of the Moon as well.
Just a few hours before this amazing cosmic event we also have unpredictable, high-frequency Uranus turning Direct after traveling Retrograde (backwards) for months. Expect the unexpected…sudden changes may be at your front door…pay attention to your intuition & follow it. Everybody knows emotions can run amuck when it comes to Moon drama even without the shocking lightning strikes of Uranus.
The intelligent style of articulate, curious, adaptable Moon in Gemini needs to gather information in a verbal, quick, stimulating manner, at times bordering on a high-strung impatience & restlessness. The thirst for knowledge is fed by continual interactions with others & utilization of the mind. Variety is the spice of life here! Communicator Mercury, the fleet-footed Messenger of the Gods, is associated with Gemini & is poised for flight at all times. Orbiting Mercury turns Direct on Dec. 13th at 4* Sagittarius before the busy holiday season…hooray! (see earlier post of Sag New Moon/Solar Eclipse for more Mercury info)
The Sun in inspirational, visionary Sagittarius, ruled by expansive, jovial Jupiter, expresses its nature through optimism, enthusiasm, wisdom, understanding, open-mindedness & idealism. Adventure & far-away places call to the Sag in the body or in the mind. The Archer, freedom loving & exploring, is geared to wander & learn, seeking truth through philosophy, metaphysics, the dream-world, travel..(spaceship, anyone?) The search for meaning is the prime directive for this one. Don’t let these qualities become self-righteous, impractical & opinionated.
The Moon’s nodes are involved at this Eclipse time with the North Node at 14* Sagittarius close to the Sun & the South Node at 14* Gemini close to the Moon. The Moon’s nodes, like mathematical aspects between planets, are not a physical thing but rather a mental calculation. Nevertheless they emphasize a focus on opening up to your intuitional be-ing, stop thinking so much, or talking too much and commit to Higher Consciousness & Truth.
SOMETHING TO CELEBRATE!! December 21st, 2011, (northern hemisphere) our blazing Sun moves into the first degree of Capricorn marking the exact time of the Winter Solstice...the longest night of the year. Now each succeeding day will have a bit more light…maybe things will lighten up! Remember we are filled with light! Yes, Virgina, we are light-beings! And don’t you forget it!

Uranus Square Pluto 2012-2015 November 28, 2011
Posted by cosmicsense in astrology, Uranus square Pluto.add a comment
Pluto in Capricorn (seen in Lake Superior)
The word “Cosmos” comes from the Greek “Kosmos” which translates into “order/harmony”.
Pre-Winter Solstice 2012: as our Sun passes over 27 degrees Sagittarius on December 18th, 2011, it makes a solar alignment with our Galactic Center which is at 27* Sagittarius. Continuing on its orbital path the Sun enters the 1st degree of earth sign Capricorn on December 21st, 11:30 pm, 2011, CST, which indicates the time of the exact Winter Solstice. Although this cosmic event happens every year, for the last couple of seasons transformative Pluto, potent creator & destroyer, has been in the early degrees of structured Capricorn where it will remain through 2024 radically changing the management of power. This is the background stage for the dramatic entrance of the widely advertised Winter Solstice of December 2012. (a year away as of this posting & NOT the end of the world! )
+++If you choose to read the rest of this blog, I recommend you don’t try too hard to fit all of the information into the logical left-brain processing center. Instead let your right-brain take over & don’t worry about it. I warn you though…this is not for astrological pantywaists!!
Now we’ll turn our attention to the up-coming, life-changing & long-lasting Uranus square Pluto multi-event.
May, 2010; another transpersonal cosmic player had entered the scene! Volatile, high-frequency Uranus briefly moved into the beginning of fiery Aries, turned retrograde, went back into Pisces for a short while, then finally Uranus moved forward into cardinal Aries on March 11th, 2011, where it will be for the next seven years through 2018. Within this time/space placement, electrical Uranus in Aries will be making a series of seven exact square aspects to Pluto in cardinal Capricorn beginning in 2012 and lasting through 2015.
What are squares? A square aspect is a 90 degree mathematical angle between two orbiting planets that produces friction, tension, challenge, inner distress & internal conflict which prompts a call (more like a shout) for action. Aries & Capricorn, as two cardinal signs, refer to quick dynamic action..the cardinal mode that sets things into motion with conscious focus directed outward. Uranus square Pluto will manifest & release tremendous cosmic energies…this on-going process will facilitate extremely important turning points for us, relating to a spiritual expansion of consciousness & marking an increase of transitional shifts into a subtler dimension of existence. (big mystery..never happened to us before..no answers from me! )
Here are the 7 dates & degrees of exact Uranus square Pluto;
June 24, 2012; URANUS 8*24 Aries…PLUTO 8*24 Capricorn
September 19, 2012; URANUS 6*54 Aries…PLUTO 6*54 Capricorn
May 21, 2013; URANUS 11*14 Aries…PLUTO 11*14 Capricorn
October 31/Nov. 1, 2013; URANUS 9*25 Aries..PLUTO 9*25 Capricorn
April 22, 2014; URANUS 13*34…..PLUTO 13*34 Capricorn
December 16, 2014; URANUS 12*35 Aries…. PLUTO 12*35 Capricorn
March 17, 2015. URANUS 15*17 Aries… PLUTO 15*17 Capricorn
These extremely powerful, universal energy transmitters express personally/collectively/globally & affect our whole galaxy & beyond as new archetypes challenge the established order here…BIG TIME CHANGES! The nature of life is to move toward wholeness; Uranus & Pluto, as two of our three outer planets (Neptune is the other, but not involved in this square), play a major part of this evolutionary agenda which is to continually expand consciousness & spiritually connect or return to the Source. Unpredictable, unexpected Uranus shockingly & quickly breaks up the status quo, the known world, the familiar; intense, regenerating Pluto symbolizes the process of birth, death, destruction, decay, regeneration, renovation & rebirth. These three transpersonal forces are never subject to our personal control &/or comprehension. They disconnect us from the reality structures on any level that we have become identified with; by some grand design we obviously need to release & transcend our personal ego-interests, be flexible, open & receptive to what changes are to come.
As Spiritual Beings, currently on Earth, we are creators of our experiences because we are always learning; there is no magical way to predict what is to happen in our material world as it reflects these configurations, but I will review some terms that describe potential expressions of Uranus & Pluto.
Inspiring, original Uranus (ruler of Aquarius) emphasizes individuality, independence, autonomy, operating to suddenly free self from past limitations, stifling situations…to illuminate, enlighten, liberate, awaken, to break down old forms; to shatter all barriers of convention-social, political, philosophical, moral & religious beliefs & standards. Uranus represents the rebel, the revolutionary…bringing radical change & freedom whether through reform, invention, revelation, discovery &/or disruption, anarchy, fanaticism. The Aries (ruled by Mars) electromagnetic field manifests actively, fearlessly, independently, impatiently, assertively & competitively in a spontaneous, enthusiastic, pioneering, initiating, eager, confident manner which can escalate into recklessness, impulsiveness, selfishness & become aggressive, argumentative, overpowering, overbearing, uncooperative & violent.
Uranus is a high-frequency transmitter that symbolizes intuition (instant knowing), genius, tolerance, humanitarianism, technology (which is developing at lightning speed now), uniqueness, unconventionality, detachment from cultural structure & approval, the unknown; it rules the body electrical system, the nervous system, also lightning, earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes, i.e. natural disasters. Uranus is good at shattering & shocking! signifying sudden-change that breaks us out of our comfort zone.
Pluto (ruler of Scorpio) represents the inevitability of change, the transformation of creation & destruction, life & death, whether literal or metaphorical; physically, emotionally, mentally or psychologically cleansing, purging, upheaval, elimination, catharsis, regeneration, healing, revitalization, metamorphosis…the butterfly emerging from the cocoon, fearlessly letting go of the old to embrace the new. This alchemical transmutation is irreversible & inevitable…part of life.
The expression of complex Plutonian in-depth energy is extremely dynamic & intense, rising from the subconscious/ unconscious realms, acted out through behaviors that are compulsive, obsessive, secretive, hidden, subversive; it is the transcendental aspect of sexuality; energy released from the core of the subconscious. Complicated Pluto deals in power; power issues, control issues, manipulation, power struggles or most desirable..self-empowerment…or learning to control the self. This represents knowledge of what lies within on a personal level; it has power in its capacity to release vast amounts of energy. Sometimes we have to lose what we think we need in order to discover what we truly need.
Pluto will be in Capricorn through 2024. The earthy Capricorn energy symbolizes our material world, the structures, organizations, organized crime, the authorities, rules & regulations, the powerful, the corporations, the banks, the governments, (interesting note: the Shanghai Financial Center is shaped like a modern Pluto symbol.)
Capricorn (ruled by Saturn) also corresponds to accomplishment, discipline, responsibility, practicality, administrating, efficiency, organization & can express in a patient, constructive, conscientious, dependable, hard-working, realistic, cautious & ambitious manner. These qualities can degrade into controlling, conservative, rigid, fearful, distrustful ,pessimistic, overcautious, calculated, unemotional, inhibited & opportunistic ways.
June 24th, 2012 we experience the first of the seven exact squares between Uranus at 8*24 Aries & Pluto at 8*24 Capricorn. Although we came close to a few square aspects with Uranus & Pluto during the past year, it was always at least a degree off of an exact square , so we haven’t had the full impact yet.
So there you have it; my long, detailed blog on Uranus square Pluto….its been a work in progress. Please feel free to comment or give me feedback.

Sagittarius New Moon/Solar Eclipse 11.24/25.2011 November 21, 2011
Posted by cosmicsense in astrology, New Moons, Solar Eclipse.add a comment
Let the Adventure Begin
What a Thanksgiving celebration for those who participate! The planetary action will certainly be available to every soul on Earth and off.
Thursday the 24th of November for PST; in CST it is early morning Friday, Nov. 25th, at 12:10 am, when we have a powerful Sagittarius New Moon (new beginnings) & a very busy Solar Eclipse. Every Solar Eclipse occurs at the close or exact alignment with the Sun and Moon in the same degree; the Moon ( past) is lined up in-between the Sun ( future) & the Earth (current reality)…definitely an amazing opportunity to prepare for previously hidden unconscious desires or information to be suddenly revealed…it may feel like a new birth! Old issues, feelings, problems, habits, conditioning & memory-dominated reactions tend to be reawakened. Also instinctive wisdom, insights, skills, innate gifts & intuitional flashes may surface unexpectedly..(we never have control over intuition, we are simply open channels for it to operate at high frequency.)
This Solar Eclipse with both Sun & Moon at 2*37 Sagittarius is a time when past & present must come to terms before further development can proceed. Take a risk! Onward & upward fellow humans! OK, I will continue to clear out old stuff & make room for the new…perhaps literally too.
Both luminaries in adventurous, independent fire-sign Sagittarius (and we all have Sag somewhere in our birthchart) bring forth mucho enthusiasm, expansiveness, optimism, idealism, higher mental interests, love of freedom & space (inner, outer, & wide open) & enjoyment of a good time. ” Nothing in excess” is key here.
Our largest energy transmitter, spirited Jupiter, now at 1*57 Taurus, is associated with the electromagnetic field of Sagittarius & is considered the Greater Benefic of all the planets. It signifies reaching out to include more & more of the universe & its many experiences while we are seeking meaning, truth & developing ethical values. Growth & expansion, generosity, prosperity, benevolence, faith, trust, improvement, good will & positiveness are some of the basic qualities of Jupiter. Watch so they don’t expand into ” too much” or become impractical, insensitive, opinionated, tactless, extravagant, restless or dogmatic.
A Light in the Darkness
Mercury, our speedy messenger planet which operates through travel, communications, data collecting & commerce is once more turning Retrograde at 20* Sag or backward (does this approx. 3 times/year) on Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 24th through Dec.13th when it turns Direct at 4* Sag. Patience will be in great demand because there are often delays, detours, miscommunications, break-downs, confusion & changed plans with this event. This is also a chance to turn our thoughts deeply inward & think things over…stay flexible.
I am grateful for, among other things, that visionary Jupiter in productive Taurus, active Mars in efficient Virgo & transforming Pluto in organized Capricorn are still making a Grand Trine aspect in those grounded, practical Earth signs. Focus on what you want to be your reality. Oh yes, I’m thankful for my readers! Bless you.
Next blog posting will be on Uranus Square Pluto…the multiexperience I’ve been dropping hints about for the past year.

Transition on Mother Earth
Thursday, November 10, 2011, at 2:16 pm CST: our active solar body, the life-force radiant Sun, at 18*05 intense Scorpio is exactly opposite the sensitive, absorbing Moon at 18*05 solid Taurus, creating a Full Moon. Most of us are aware that this is a cosmically powerful time…and yes, while the planets do NOT cause things to happen, they miraculously only mirror what is going on over here on planet Earth.
Patient, practical Taurus energy needs to be resourceful, productive & stable; holding on to who & what it values. Cathartic, complex Scorpio is all about change, metamorphosis, transforming, regeneration & letting go; in other words, rebirth.
Cosmic Neptune is leaving Aquarius, where it has been for years & is moving into the first degree of Pisces (its home space) in early February 2012, where it will travel for the next approx. 14 years. I plan on covering that subject later.
As Above So Below
Due to circumstances in my life, I need to take a break from the biweekly blog. I plan to soon continue with only a monthly Full Moon blog & also periodic extras, like my Uranus Square Pluto article, etc. Everything is fine…just undergoing cosmic inner changes which I will explain to the best of my ability. What?! Things are changing?!?!

Early Morning on the Lake
~As Above So Below~
On Wednesday, October 26, 2011 at 2:56 pm, CDT, we are experiencing our New Moon in the passionate water sign of Scorpio. Both luminaries, Sun (conscious self) & Moon (the subconscious), are conjoined at 3* transformative Scorpio which represents the energy of life, death & rebirth at all levels.
No matter where you experience this New Moon in your life, it will be complex, emotional, mysterious, healing, regenerating & transforming. Cathartic energy is at work wherever we find Scorpio or Pluto, the ruling planet which deepens & intensifies whatever it touches. It also deals with intuition, strong feelings, the hidden (Pluto is the god of the Underworld) & psychological realms.
I know I’ve been releasing, eliminating & letting go of what is no longer needed… a deep, inner cleansing expressed through various symptoms; purging of massive old, crusty feelings, extreme emotions, surfacing memories & outdated thought-forms from who knows where?!… life has sped up so much & will continue to accelerate exponentially…one barely has time to regain balance, get back on your feet & out the door again!
A New Moon is always an opportunity to plant new seeds & to be open to new beginnings. The magnetic, determined, resourceful Scorpio energy offers the potential gift of self-empowerment; having control over the self as we release the need to control or have power over others. The Eagle symbol is the higher visual of Scorpio soaring above the scorpion which represents its lower nature…nothing quite as intense as the steely eye of an Eagle!
Our ego-centeredness may cause some unexpected problems in our relating style or relationship issues now but there are also harmonious aspects to this New Moon that could take the tension down a notch. Stay flexible, tolerant, cooperative, loving & forgiving…start with the self.
One recent morning Coldplay performed on TV & I had to get up… danced wildly & felt wonderfully energized…one dance at a time!
Very soon I will be posting a hopefully simplified article on the upcoming URANUS Square PLUTO June 2012-March 2015 event.
