THE BEAUTY OF IT ALL

"I see my light come shinin'

From the west down to the east

Any day now, any day now

                               I shall be released"

The Beauty of it All

So you guys made it. You managed to survive the month of August… and the months before.

In everything that went on, chances are you aren’t hard and embittered or rubbed to a numb nub. Instead, you guys are awake.

FINALLY.

It’s not a rough awakening, but a gradual one, like what happens on a sunny Saturday morning, where the light creeps through the curtains…

We have a second full moon in a row in Aquarius to thank for that.  The first Full Moon in Aquarius happened on July 22 2013. Think back to that Full Moon; what was lit up for you? Did you follow through on it, or try to ignore what occurred for you? No matter: it’s all gonna get fixed up and shiny for y’all in this Full Moon.

To make sure you guys follow, we’ll have a quick chat about what a Full Moon in Aquarius means.

Aquarius is the water bearer; Aquarius is more along the lines of controlling thought through focus and attentive behavior. Divine enlightenment is common for Aquarius natives and activity.

Some of what has come up for people of late is a feeling of freedom, an illumination of shorts. A light bulb or a different way of dealing with our hard spots has blown up for most of us.

It makes sense since Aquarius’s modern ruler is Uranus, the great awakener.  Uranus will illuminate all and everything, then will shake it up, just to grant you knowledge and the freedom that comes with it. When a Full Moon happens in Aquarius, your life gets lit up, and a shake up happens to grant freedom and a lesson in loving others as much as we love ourselves. If that’s a good or bad thing…well, it depends on the individual.

I can’t help but move into the arena of Tarot, since the Aquarius associated card THE STAR is present here and is full of good news.

While for many tarot readings, Aquarius has different card meanings (ace of swords, queen of swords) however very often it is associated with the Star. In a nutshell, the Star is that perfect place of peace and transparency. That magic place of completion (I’m ok, your ok)

The Star is also associated with baptism. Chances are that many of us have experienced a purge of some kind, and that purification has happened through a trial by fire or even a thunderdome type battle.  This Star/Aquarius energy of this Full Moon cleans us up, and bestows upon us a new wisdom. It’s all rather pretty…like when the clouds part and you can see the beauty of a starlit night. Expect an unexpected reward. While this Full Moon may not grant you the complete peace that you crave, it will at the very least provide you with the tools to get there.

Shine Bright Like a Diamond.

REBEL REBEL- NEW MOON IN LEO IN ALL IT'S GLORY

Is it so bad to want to get wild? Is it so bad to want to shake loose of all the rules and constraints we live under? I’m sure that most of us are feeling the world tightening around us. If we use the power of this New Moon in Leo wisely, it just might save our sorry butts.

This month isn’t going to be much different from much of what we have seen this year; we won’t see much relief from the weight of the world. We have a Jupiter/Pluto/Uranus T Square that is happening this month that lets us know, under no uncertain terms that the planetary truce of July is now OVER. It’s back to the battlefield.

However, this New Moon in Leo will show us how to do your thing while the world continues to take on the tone of the Wild West…on one side we have folks who want to save your soul and on the other side folks who want to show just how big and bad they are. Since the Sun in Leo is conjunct to this New Moon, the Leo power is doubled and more powerful then before. Now is the time to strut your stuff and pull everyone onto the dance floor.

The beauty of all New Moons is that it opens up a whole new start. Much like candles on a birthday cake, it’s the prime time to make wishes that are certain to come true.  The first 10 days after a New Moon is the best time to start a new project…or a new phase on one you have been working on.

This New Moon makes a saucy trine to Uranus in Aries… it’s like the two bawdiest girls in school giggling over their next adventure.  These two are fearless, sexy and uncontrollable. Whatever they get up to, it’s going to be a whole lot of fun and maybe just a little bit of trouble.  This unique fire trine adds something special to this New Moon; a little more gusto and a lot more passion. Since Saturn in Scorpio is in a waning square with the Moon in Leo, his energy isn’t as rough as it could be; in this case, he merely reminds this New Moon in Leo to finally live up to her true potential…. to shine bright and be real about it. This New Moon is a rare chance to be completely focused on the self.

Perhaps this New Moon is the best time to figure out how to have fun, and live in the spotlight. Leo is a fixed sign, so whatever she fixates on she has follow through on. Channel her energy to make fun, powerful changes for the good. Leo is also the sign that rules the Heart; make sure whatever you do or start this New Moon is akin to your greatest heart’s desire.

Take this time to dance and embrace what brings you joy. Most importantly…

TWIRL, TWIRL, TWIRL….

GOOD NEWS IN ROUGH TIMES- THE GRAND SEXTILE AND YOU

There is an awesome Trine happening between Cancer, Scorpio and Neptune in water signs (water Trine) and another beautiful trine happening between Pluto, Virgo and the Moon, making a Grand Earth Trine; together its called a Grand Sextile. It’s not all rainbows and lollypops, since with every trine there are hard making oppositons and squares. Even though Mercury is now direct, he’s still floating around in that post retrograde haze, and will for the next few days.

How nice.

Actually, it is; I’m not being sarcastic. In this case for the water and earth signs that are experiencing squares and oppositions, just remember that these actions bring awareness and a certain conversation to the table. With everything that is going on in the world, it’s so easy to just get caught up in it, and not pay attention to what is really going in inside us as individuals.

I don’t think that it’s an accident that this Grand Sextile is happening in Water and Earth signs; It’s about awareness, abundance and stability.

In this case, Cancer has Mars, Mercury and Jupiter in her sign. Cancer is opposite Pluto in Capricorn. Normally this could be an adversarial conversation between these two signs, but today its just Cancer acknowledging the need for freedom, and Capricorn stating his need to be understood. Capricorn takes a massive step back to assess the new world around. Cancer steps into the spot light, wincing a little while doing it…but doing it anyway.

Volatile Scorpio has Saturn telling her what to do, while the Moon in exhaulted in stable Taurus for the day. The conversation these two are finally having is that love doesn’t need to be hard or look like a telenovela; rather that if you let your partner love you, he/she will do just that.

As for Venus in Virgo opposite Neptune in Pisces, the first instinct for a Virgo to show how much she loves someone is to nag them to death, or clean out their closet. Pisces leans his head back, nods at the message Virgo is giving him; to step away from the beauty of the mists. Pisces gently moves Virgo into a comfy seat and asks if they can cloud gaze. Virgo nods, and sees how sometimes doing nothing means everything.

There will be some insights achieved here. Even though this Sextile is only exact today, we will feel it for the next few days.  Just relax and be open to what you will learn in the next few days. It will change everything, and teach us how to be calm in the middle of our worst storms.

WEEKEND FORECAST FOR CARDINAL SIGNS; ARIES,CANCER, CAPRICORN&LIBRA

For you folks that read horoscopes and keep abreast of all the recent astrological news, I’m sure you have seen lots of chatter about Jupiter in Cancer being awesome for Cancers and Water signs while taking pressure off the endless Cardinal Crosses going on.

Well… This weekend is the glaring exception. There are new tensions in the air, and Cancer is right in the thick of it.

If you have any Cancers in your life, you will watch them undergo a metamorphosis this weekend. It could be good, as in that they will have the catharsis that they have desperately needed over the past few years; folks tend to lean a little too heavy on Cancers to get through the rough stuff in life.

This weekend Cancers are disinterested in kissing anybody’s boo boo’s.

Why? Mars/Mercury/Jupiter are in Cancer opposite Pluto making more of a T cross with Uranus in Aries. With Libra, the fourth Cardinal sign, left to carry the brunt of the tensions.

If you are a Capricorn or Aries this will apply to you in that you may feel as if your authority is being questioned, or you are being stilted or restrained in some vital way. If you are a Libra, chances are you will be tap dancing to keep the peace, while chances are you yourself have some grievances you want to air. By all means, throw your voice into the fray. Just do it with a smile.

Back to Cancer; it’s been a long time coming, all these planets clustered in your sign to give you a boost and help you get off the ground. Cancers who are aware of the awakening will feel growing pains, and can feel the power growing inside of them. It’s heady stuff. However, if you are of the Cancer population that has come to realize that you have been dead inside for a while now, you need to be careful how you manage your resurrection.

Being born is serious stuff.
