Thoughts from the Heart. Gemini Full Moon

We’re about to put ourselves ‘out there’ this week; IF we haven’t already done so. Something (or someone) is being stirred in the most unexpected and unusual way – hungry for a change but also for some much needed breathing space with Venus in Aquarius. Life is about to shift with the Sun/Uranus trine on Monday December […]

The February 2017 Eclipse, Alexander Hamilton, and Aaron Burr

Recently The Mountain Astrologer published an excellent article by Kate Plumb concerning the (rectified) natal and progressed charts of Sun Capricorn Alexander Hamilton along with the Opening Night horoscope of the very popular Broadway show Hamilton. With Hamilton’s natal chart progressed to Opening Night (August 6, 2015), we see modern influences upon a posthumous chart where its long deceased

Receiving Through Giving | Venus enters Aquarius

In order to work with your seeds of intentions for last week’s Sagittarius New Moon, we may want to consider asking ourselves: what am I actually attempting to unleash; in order to rise and gain more strength? The rocket fuel  in the Mars/Uranus sextile on Tuesday, December 6, offers an unexpected boost in the most […]

Mercury enters Capricorn on December 2nd. Communication/ideas get real, focused and rigid. 

Saturn-ruled Capricorn is the sign of structure. If you know someone with their natal Mercury in Capricorn, pay attention to how they speak and write. Their sentences are probably beautifully constructed and compelling. Mercury can excel in this sign. Limits are applied. The message is delivered with discipline and conviction. 

Capricorn can also stifle Mercury’s flexibility. Traditional ideas are favoured over innovation. Thought patterns become stuck in fear-based traps. 

You get the picture. This transit favours the manifestation of successful ideas, as long as focused intent is applied and the rules are followed. Formal documents, written commitments, signed contracts – these are all Mercury in Capricorn. Words become concrete via traditional expression. 

Mercury Retrograde

Mercury will station Rx on December 19th, and will exit Capricorn for Sagittarius on January 4th. I’ll write a separate post on this, but for now, consider Mercury’s Rx from Capricorn to Sag as the time to review ideals before they are solidified. Mercury Rx in Capricorn wants to make certain the concepts are rock solid. Can you build a foundation on your faith?

Of particular note during this Rx will be Mercury’s triple-shot trine to the Virgo North Node. Here’s assistance for your trip along the North Node path. Concrete guidance in the form of a message/messenger. Take responsibility for what you say, and bring your ideas to maturity. This will help you move ahead. 

I’ve listed the aspects Mercury will make, and bolded the repeat aspects. Pay attention to these. There’s an idea that needs to be examined more closely, if you have anything in these signs and at these degrees.

November 30th, 2016: A Good Day to Wait it Out

  • Sun in Sagittarius square Neptune, 9 degrees Pisces
  • Venus in Capricorn square Ceres Rx, 21 degrees Aries

Events from yesterday’s New Moon leak into today, as two, key aspects perfect.

Sun/Neptune dissolves purpose and expands possibilities. The craving for something beyond the current reality is strong, but motivation and vitality are lacking. It may be easier to just consider what’s out there, and allow the real deal to emerge on its own.

Venus/Ceres sees defined finances, relationships or values challenged by a rebirth. What you thought was confirmed may be shaken up by a return to disruptive impulses. Too, any efforts to take care of someone, or seek nurturing for yourself, may leave you feeling unsatisfied or rejected. They may not want what you’re offering, and you may get something completely different from what you want. 

 

Unleashing The Inner Gypsy | Sagittarius New Moon

As Sun (ego) transits adventurous Sagittarius until December 21, a new path will be illuminated. A path where we can unleash our inner gypsy, so that our hair can be worn loose, wild and free. We’ll be in search for something that we can believe in again. Something that is bigger than ourselves, and larger than life itself. Something that is someone who […]
