Whatever we focus our attention on becomes our reality.

We are encountering the Aries Full Moon & dynamic Lunar Eclipse Wednesday, October 8th, 2014, 5:50 am, CDT: Our Sun at 15* social, cooperative Libra is joined by sensuous Venus, the planet at home in this sign, which sits close at 10* harmonizing Libra; they are now exactly opposite the responsive Moon at 15* active, fiery Aries with transmitter Uranus, of the unexpected, sudden & radical energy, right in the Moon’s lap at 14*impulsive Aries. The North Node at 19* Libra & South Node at 19* Aries, respectively, are only 4* from the two luminaries opening more pathways into the unknown & increasing the potential for amazing new worlds (consciousness) to manifest.

An Eclipse symbolizes a doorway type of situation; Earth (representing the present) lines up as in a pool shot… exactly inbetween the Sun (future) & Moon (past); Earth temporarily blocks Sun’s light of consciousness from the emotional, fluctuating Moon. Emotions will be potently raw as old repressed stuff surfaces…make space for the unexpected if you can, especially with sock ’em & shock “em, electrical Uranus only a degree away from being conjunct our passionate, direct Aries Moon & opposing the sometimes indecisive but romantic Libran Sun.

This is another perfect opportunity to clear out issues of the past in order to be better prepared for the ongoing accelerating transformations. You’ve already cleared stuff out you say….if you’re still in a physical body there is more to be done. Try not to be overwhelmed.

Perfect Day

Perfect Day

Peace-loving, diplomatic, sensitive, gracious Venus is strongly connected to partnership-oriented Libra, sometimes to the point of being afraid to rock the boat. The thoughtful, accommodating Libran part of us does not like to be left out or not considered. Balancing the polar opposite qualities will be challenging now with independent, daring, passionate, adventurous Mars as the ruler of me first Aries Moon; there will be situations when compromise & patience will definitely be called for.

Pioneering Mars at 16* Sagittarius makes harmonious aspects to the Sun, Jupiter, the Moon & Uranus, thankfully…mirroring a beneficial, more flowing contribution to this potent Full Moon/Luner Eclipse.

Tuesday, early morning, 2:42 am, CDT, April 15, 2014: the exact time of the social & intellectual Libra Full Moon & Total Lunar Eclipse…less than a week before the Cardinal Grand Cross of April 20th-23rd. Monday, the 21st, is the day the radical-disruptor, high frequency Uranus at 13*34 vigorous, impulsive Aries is exactly square the intense, concentrated transformative power of Pluto at 13*34 structured, traditional Capricorn…(more info below).

A Lunar Eclipse acts as a cosmic regulator that maintains balance on Earth, often through crisis situations; the Lunar Eclipse only happens during a Full Moon when Earth, exactly in-between the Sun & Moon, blocks the Sun’s light from the Moon. We could say this is a Full Moon in Hyper-drive…extraordinary stress, tension & accomplishment. It is an opportunity to throw off restrictions of the past indicating a major turning point in our spiritual/psychological growth. This current transformative process involves our electromagnetic Sun at 25*16 active, independent, assertive Aries opposite Full Moon at 25*16 cooperative, partnership-oriented, harmonizing Libra.

Thank you Flowers!

Thank You Flowers!

The self-aware, initiating Aries Sun is naturally associated with Warrior Mars, the Yang transmitter of courage, confidence, directness & passion. At this time retrograde Mars is in gentle, agreeable Libra at 16*.  Not an easy placement for feisty Mars as Libra dislikes discord and can vacillate, hesitate & be indecisive at times. However if pushed too far, this combo can explode in a temper of sudden violence. There are now many strong, challenging aspects going on, which I will cover below for the readers who care to dip in a little deeper. We  certainly feel the energies! Be aware of rashness, harsh words/behaviors, aggressive actions, non-cooperation & selfishness. Fury, violence & wars are extremes of undeveloped Mars. Balance the forces in the energy you put into the large & small choices you continually make. It matters.

The Goddess of love, peace & beauty, Venus, is the considerate, receptive planet associated with diplomatic Libra (and Taurus), the sign of the Full Moon. The Yin transmitter Venus currently at 10* visionary, inspiring, spiritual Pisces is sitting in-between compassionate, idealist Neptune at 6* unifying Pisces & teacher/healer Chiron at 15* transcendental Pisces….perhaps our saving grace due to the beneficial aspects they are making to other planets.

••The following paragraph is for the more astrologically knowledgeable…skip this piece it if you don’t want your mind completely boggled!  It is regarding the CARDINAL GRAND CROSS that spans April 20th through April 23rd & it incorporates the 5th Uranus/Pluto square which is exact on April 21st. In other words…Power & intensity to the Max!!

Easter Sunday, April 20th, starts a potent, complex & intense week of planetary alignments. These impact both our personal stage & the collective on Earth. I have written many times about the 5th Uranus/Pluto square (of 7 total from 2012 to 2015) in previous blogs. See sidebar for more complete information on that. This major life-changing aspect will be happening for these faster moving planets (Mars & Jupiter) to bounce off of during the Grand Cross.  My graphics are the best I could do so imagine the red box to be a perfect square.

Cardinal Grand Cross

Cardinal Grand Cross…April 20th to the 23rd, 2014

Starting on April 20th expansive, intuitive Jupiter, which magnifies whatever it contacts, reaches 13*+ Cancer where it will be opposing Pluto 13*34 Capricorn & squaring both Uranus 13*34 Aries & Mars at 13*+ Libra. Then Mars, moving retrograde opposes Uranus & squares both Pluto & optimistic, generous Jupiter. These mathematical aspects of oppositions & squares reflect challenge, confrontation, tension & stress. They involve the four cardinal signs (which begin each season) & this describes ACTION…conscious change is called for…focused energy toward what is for the highest good of all. What to do?  Go with the flow…everything is changing at warp speed…some energies are in the process of crystallization & others are in process of breaking up crystallizations. Remember we signed up for this.

The Dalai Lama says ” No matter what is happening, no matter what is going on around you, never give up.”

Sunday afternoon, March 30th, 2014, 1:44pm, CDT: we have a vital New Moon with Sun & Moon together at 9*59 inspiring, energetic, innovative Aries. Both New Moon and forceful Aries represent new beginnings.

Associated with fiery, independent, enthusiastic transmitter Mars, Aries can express as confidence, courage, self-starting, directness & strength. Folks with this Warrior sign emphasized  (Sun…Moon…Ascendent…1st house planets, etc.) may be fearless, passionate, assertive, eager, competitive…brave leaders unafraid to initiate action. It is also natural for Aries to look out for #1. However Mars impatience, anger, selfishness, recklessness, carelessness can also escalate into violence & war. We have challenging aspects with Uranus, Pluto & Jupiter at this time, but also beneficial connections among other planets; there will be stress & distress. Send out love, calm, peaceful, healing energy from the heart wherever you are…as often as you can. Stop the judgements & criticisms before they leave your mouth. (I tell myself)

 High-frequency Uranus 12*20 Aries sits next to the 2 luminaries during the New Moon; undoubtedly sudden change, revolutionary actions, unexpected events & extremes will surface perhaps more than usual. Radical, electrifying, higher vibration Uranus symbolizes the evolutionary impulse for awakening, illuminating & liberating us from stagnant internal ego structures & stagnant external reality structures; it transmits sudden freedom from the known world into the unknown & release from our growth inhibiting status-quo conditioning. Our intuition (instant knowing) is increasing if we chose to pay attention to it. “Beam me up Scottie!”

April 14th, Pluto turns Retrograde 13*34 Capricorn before the Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse (which takes place shortly after midnight on the 15th of April..more on Full Moon in the next blog). Willful, passionate, compulsive, intense & cathartic Pluto is the natural transmitter connected to the electromagnetic field of deeply emotional, powerful, transforming, magnetic Scorpio. Pluto reflects its mysterious energy  for slow, gradual, irreversible change wherever it is. A few days around the 14th will potentially be very intense.Then on April 21st, 2014, we will be experiencing the next Uranus/Pluto exact square…..

This planetary aspect helps to describe the world we’re currently living in…from every direction & on every level sentient life on Earth is changing at an exponential rate. Unpredictable URANUS 13*34 Aries is square transforming PLUTO 13*34 Capricorn on Monday, April 21st, 2014, 1:38pm, CDT: These two outer transpersonal planets have been powerfully interacting with each other since June 2012, mirroring “As Above So Below” in perfect dramatic fashion. In April we experience the 5th of 7 exact squares between high-voltage Uranus & complex, intense Pluto. (the sixth is Dec.16th, 2014, the seventh & last one is March 17th, 2015)

And just what is a square?!…you might ask. It is a mathematical aspect (a tetrahedron) between two planets that signifies stress & dynamic tension, crisis, confrontations & their results; focus of energy is needed. These transmitters represent higher octave energies symbolizing the urge toward development related to soul consciousness rather than personal consciousness.

Pluto destroys anything that has grown toxic…nothing personal, it just does! Physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually it works through breaking down, destruction & rebuilding…regeneration…healing…assimilating & transforming…it symbolizes concentrated POWER. Power issues, control, manipulation, power struggles?  Self-empowerment is the wisest channel for Plutonian energy.

Good Morning

Friday evening, October 18, 2013, 6:38 pm, CDT: The Moon is exactly full at 25*45 innovative, active, independent Aries opposite our Sun at 25*45 cooperative, social, diplomatic Libra. The Moon (Yin energy) relates to the instinctive & emotional response nature, and the Sun (Yang energy) signifies a more conscious energy of will, vitality & purpose.

During a Lunar Eclipse the Sun, Earth & Moon astronomically line up into a straight row. The Moon loses its reflected light from the Sun as the Earth passes directly between them.  A regular Full Moon is powerful enough but when also part of a Lunar Eclipse configuration we experience an increase in the dynamic frequencies of the participating electromagnetic fields. This acts as a cosmic regulator that maintains balance on Earth. Each eclipse is activated somewhere in the map of everyone’s natal birthchart.  It shows where change is necessary, often reflecting a crisis to call our attention to a situation….especially now during these quickly changing, faster paced, accelerated times.

Assertive, adventurous, daring, masculine Mars is the home planet of direct, enthusiastic, courageous, pioneering Aries.  Feminine Venus, transmitter of love, peace, beauty & harmony, is naturally associated with artistic, compromising, partner-oriented Libra (& Taurus). This emphasis of the two “me” & “we” signs symbolize actively following one’s own desire nature while also considering others. Don’t let the Aries energy turn too selfish, impatient, careless or rashly aggressive. Watch so the Libran factor doesn’t lapse into indecision, over-dependency, idleness & passivity.  The art of balancing these opposing qualities is the key during this Lunar Eclipse…either on a personal level or collectively.

Information & mobility expert, tiny, speedy, techno Mercury at 18* Scorpio, turns Retrograde on Monday, Oct. 21st at 5:29 am, CDT through November 10th. This apparent backward movement does not really cause things to happen but it seems like a popular time for possible machine break-downs, miscommunications, delays, etc. We could use this period to reflect upon & reconsider past issues or communications. (Note: if you have Mercury retrograde in your natal chart, it operates in a different way, not like the above description.)

The Sun moves into Scorpio at 1:10 am, CDT, on October 23rd.

I will mention that the stressful, challenging aspect between Uranus (the radical disruptor) & Pluto (death & rebirth, transformation) is getting closer to the 4th exact 90 degree square which manifests on Oct. 31st/ Nov.1st, 2013. We  are experiencing this in all areas of Earth existence. We have had 3 of 7 of these exact squares already & will have 3 more after this one; these particular cosmic events last from 2012 to 2015. (See Uranus square Pluto article on sidebar for more info. Remember these planets & signs are SYMBOLS which represent a multitude of meanings.) Nothing is written in stone.

The sudden, unexpected changes that free us from our familiar world or the status quo of life, from the known into the unknown, is due to liberating, potent, unpredictable Uranus at 9*25 fearless, competitive, forceful, independent Aries (the warrior, the initiator) clashing with powerful, destructive, regenerative Pluto at 9*25 structured, material, hierarchical, authoritative Capricorn…(the builder, the achiever) patiently reaching  each practical goal. Every thought, word & deed is important.

“Astrology only correlates to reality-it does not cause it.”  J. Green

Early Wednesday, April 10th, 2013, 4:36 AM, CDT: We have the jolt of an dynamic, initiating Aries New Moon with both Sun (conscious will) & Moon (emotions) at the exact same degree of 20*41 fiery, adventurous Aries.  This is primetime for New Beginnings as confident Aries (symbolized by the Ram) is the first sign of our zodiac year comprised of 12 signs, starting this year when the Sun entered Aries on the Spring Equinox, March 20th, 2013.

Active, assertive, masculine Mars is also in its home sign of impulsive, direct, courageous Aries. It is sitting at 22*…. very close to Sun & Moon. Sociable, relating, feminine Venus at 23* Aries is right beside Mars. Independent, revolutionary, electrical Uranus is behind but not conjunct this group at 9*Aries. These transmitters are loaded with energy! I practically feel like I’m vibrating.

The energetic, conquering, competing Ram energy within each one of us (some more than others) wants to jump into new territory, confront new challenges, seek fresh conquests & always move forward. And it’s SPRING! Warrior Aries needs action.There can be a clarity of purpose shining through the risk-taking Arien drive, unless used too selfishly & impatiently with no consideration for others.

Complex, concentrated, core energy of Pluto at 11* Capricorn turns retrograde (apparent backward motion) Friday, April 12th; for a few days around this date we may strongly feel the intensity, possibly indicating healing changes & powerful transformations either mirrored on the inner personal levels or the outer world stage.

Another reminder: Uranus is closing into its tight square  (stressful, tension-filled mathematical aspect) with Pluto…only 2 degrees away from exact square on May 20th, CDT. GMT is May 21st. See sidebar for more information than you may want on Uranus Square Pluto. Keep scrolling down for main article.
