FULL MOON @14 TAURUS
L.A. – Thursday 14.13
NEW YORK – Thursday 17.23
LONDON – Thursday 22.23
SYDNEY – Friday 09.23

Astro-LOA FLASH: At 14 degrees of Taurus, the full moon is in the second or Virgo/Mercury Decan. It combines Mercury’s power of discrimination and flexibility to the stick-to-it nature of the Bull.

Sensuality is still strong, yet now it needs a more social, flirty and intellectual expression. The affinity for change and flexibility augments, making this energy Less likely to lounge around ‘chewing things over’ and more likely to take action.

This full moon links to the Uranus – Pluto square, making it personal, intimate. Tune in to synchronicity and insights that will support change (and I mean, change for the better!).

It’s a perfect time to release any old habit pattern that has survived past the use by date. Take time to think on that. What would you like to release, physically, mentally or spiritually? Now’s the time to set that intention, and let go.

NOTE: don’t despair if you aren’t seeing the results you want immediately. The thoughts you think now are like money in the bank!

ARIES: The focus is on personal finances, but deeper than that, your sense of self value. If you want to amp up your bank account and develop your talents and resources to their fullest, turn your attention to self-esteem. Release self-doubts.

TAURUS: Taurus Sun or rising isn’t that keen on change, but this full moon is just what you need to drop resistance and let new intentions fly free. The focus is on your ‘shop window,’ and how you relate to others. Ask what you can do for YOU!

GEMINI: This full moon brings reclusive tendencies where you go deep into the privacy of your own thoughts to awaken hidden ideas. Superficial-social, for the next few days, will not serve. Meditate, contemplate, renew. Fill the tanks; release ‘must’.

CANCER: The focus is on your connection to like-minded others, friends and possibly technology and innovation. You benefit from visioning and really feeling your goals and dreams for the future. Don’t spend this one alone. Reach out.

LEO: Your most cherished intentions around your work life, career, mission and profession have the longest legs right now. Forget about other concerns for the next few days and plant those psychic seed in fertile, imaginative soil. It’s happening!

VIRGO: A creature of habit, and rightly so, you maximize this full moon by changing up. Explore people, places, ideas and cultures outside your normal everyday experience. You don’t have to ‘go there'; just imagine a wider canvass. Think ‘global’.

LIBRA: On the surface, deal with any debt, unresolved joint finances or tax issues. On a deeper level, this is the time to unravel the emotional generator that lies beneath. Set intentions to release any irksome creations or tolerations and they’re toast!

SCORPIO: After the recent splash of eclipses, this is a time for you to re-set. What do you really want in your relationship world. With this powerhouse configuration driving, you gain by initiating change, clarity, and elevation to the next level.

SAGITTARIUS: Set intentions around harmony in the work place, increased sense of adventure in your daily life and optimal, energetic, fabulous health. The more you let go of any gremlin vibe or grudges, the freer you’ll feel. Relax and release limiting beliefs!

CAPRICORN: Anything that gives you a chance to shine, to express your individuality and amp up your creative pleasure is perfect for this full moon. It’s about knowing what you love, and finding ways to do more of that, every day!

AQUARIUS: This is were you get clarity around home, domestic and family desires. What wants changing? Improving? Imagine it now. On a deeper level, get to the core of your inner world, the heart of your emotional stability, and make a wish.

PISCES: If you’re thinking of improving your education, starting a study group, writing, teaching, learning or training, now is the perfect time to give that a go. The more you open up the channels of communication, the more abundance you attract!

Aries – the ram

Astro-LOA Flash: The sun over the Zero Degree Aries Point heralds the equinox, a festival of magnificence!

Whether you are ‘springing forward’ or ‘falling back’, this is strong juju, energy to move your forward along your path.

Wherever Aries is in your chart, fireworks go off, bells ring and eyes light up! Glimpse a sense of purpose and renaissance of spirit as your desires, vitality and drive seek to express in the world.

Yes yes, Mars, the ruler of Aries, is retrograde, but you will feel this like an inner victory dance no matter what!

Appreciate NOW everything that is working out in your life as well as your desires for the future.

As the first degree of Aries, this point suggest how our “will to be”, or sense of I AM, moves out from the subjective and into manifest reality. Ask:
What am I creating today?

Where Aries is in the chart is where our inner warrior is ready, willing and able to stake our claim, stand up for our rights, boast of our accomplishments and assert, initiate, proclaim and adventure. He is also ready to PLAY, compete and revel in the creative energy of life. Do you let him?

The designers of the zodiac denoted (ARIES) by the symbol of the ram, noted for the ‘directional force’ of its headlong charge. Yet curiously in some old zodiacs the ram is shown not charging, but with its head turned to look back on itself, and the direction from whence it has come.

This gesture seems to tell us something important about the relationship of consciousness and self-awareness to the forward movement of the universe, namely that awareness is oriented in the reverse direction to the thrust. Mysteriously, consciousness and will face different ways. – Dennis Elwell 1987

Dennis Elwell goes on to discuss what boils down to our orientation in time and space. The point being, awareness doesn’t necessarily travel from the past into the present into the future. Possibly, it is quite the opposite. Read more here . . .

Are you in touch with your Mars? Is he expressing by signs, house and planet in authentic ways? Are you the boss in your Aries house? Calling the shots and self-directing, especially in that area of life? Check where your 0 Degree Aries Point is in your chart before you answer, then welcome the Equinox. Connect to this powerful and pro-active, playful, assertive side of your life.

Let us know if you need help finding where Aries is in your chart.

Quick list of the 12 houses:

1st house – Appearance, personality traits, outlook on life
2nd house - $$$, resources, talents, peace of mind
3rd house – Teaching, learning, writing, talking, connecting
4th house – Home, family, ancestors, emotional ground
5th house – Creative expression, offspring (books/kids etc), romance
6th house – Health, pets, daily routine, magic
7th house – Socially significant relationships, contracts
8th house – sex, death, taxes, shared resources, trust

kimfalconer:

I’m doing a full write up on the Chinese Year of the Horse next week, but this excellent post from Mommy Mystic will whet your appetite! Thank you Symbolreader for the heads up!

Originally posted on Mommy Mystic:

“When I bestride him, I soar, I am a hawk: he trots the air; the earth sings when he touches it; the basest horn of his hoof is more musical than the pipe of Hermes.”

January 31^st is Chinese New Year, ushering in the Year of the Horse, and it is followed one month later by Losar, the Tibetan New Year. As I’ve done the last few years, over at BellaOnline I’ve offered an overview of some of the traditional interpretations of the Year of the Horse, drawn from Chinese astrology. Here at Mommy Mystic I’m doing my own take, based on the symbolism of the horse in various cultures and time periods. This is part intuitive read, and part symbolic play.

I hope you enjoy it and feel inspired by the energies available this year, because if there is one prominent theme in…

LON – Sat – 5:11 pm
SYD – Sun – 4:11 am

The Solstice, mid-winter or mid-summer is a turning point, a day we have celebrated for thousands of years. The sun crossing the Cardinal Points (or ‘Aries’ Point, in this case 0 Capricorn) is symbolic of endings and new beginnings. In the northern hemisphere, the

sun ‘dies’ to be reborn the next morning as it crosses 0 degrees of Capricorn. From then on, the days begin to lengthen and all is renewed. For us in the Southern hemisphere, it’s still 0 Capricorn but from now on the days are getting shorter! In either case, this is a beautiful time to set intentions for yourself, your loved ones and the world community.

This year we have a powerful activation of the Uranus/Pluto square by Mars in Libra. Check all four Cardinal ruled houses in your chart to see where to take action and move forward with your dreams. Tutorial Here.

Hints for setting powerful intentions this Solstice:

Follow your highest excitement! (Tips on the GoodVibeBlog.com)

ARIES: Your career takes a turn for the better with a chance to take on more responsibility for greater reward. Ask: Do you light up in a smile when you think of your life work?

TAURUS: Take your mind, body or spirit somewhere it’s never been before—meditate, travel, read, learn. Ask: are you holding yourself back from your real dreams?

GEMINI: Intimacy, transformations and intensity will light your fire. Go ahead and take a risk. Ask: are you playing it safe with your deeper goals?

CANCER: Partnership is the focus and you will benefit by assessing the relationships in your life. Ask: do you feel free to be who you are with others?

LEO: Putting energy into the body, health and physical well-being brings fabulous results! Ask: are you getting enough exercise every day? Enough ritual?

VIRGO: Creativity springs from a well of romance. Write, play, choreograph, sing, act. Ask: are you allowing for love in your heart.

LIBRA: Clean the house, wash the windows, clear the air, especially with family and intimates. Ask: is your home a true reflection of you?

SCORPIO: Start a new course of study, join a community project, get friendly with the written or spoken word. Ask: is there anything you’d like to learn or teach?

SAGITTARIUS: Indulge yourself in sensuality –baths, long walks in nature, massage, fine food, expansive vistas. Ask: Do you know your world through the senses?

CAPRICORN: This is a new chapter in your life. Open the door to your dreams by showing up! Ask: is your life an accurate reflection of who you want to be?

AQUARIUS: Commune with your unconscious. Take time to record and reflect on your dreams. Ask: are you deep in the well of your creative heart?

PISCES: Friends and like-minded others are a source of inspiration if you’re hanging out with your own kind! Ask: are these birds really of your feathers?

Comet Ison Combust the Sun

Live stream news on Comet Ison – NASA Hangout

November 29th 8:43 am - Scientists say it appears comet ISON from the fringes of the solar system didn’t survive its close encounter with the sizzling sun.

November 29th 9:16PM – U.S. Navy solar researcher Karl Battams wrote on his blog that “it does appear that at least some small fraction of ISON has remained in one piece.”

November 29th 9:16PM – Telescopes tracking Comet Ison saw at least part of it emerge on the other side of the star around six hours after disappearing from view.

November 30th  –  8:55 am - Latest images from SOSHO

LOA support on Letting Go and Releasing Attachment.

 

Weekly ASTRO-LOA FLASH: Comet Ison is conjunct the sun in the early degrees of Sagittarius, poised to slingshot around the center of our solar system and shoot back out into deep space. Whether it survives the journey or not, this is a supercharged activation of all things Saggo, lighting up the area of your chart that holds 0-7 degrees of this Fire sign. The theme is CATCH all the stagnate energy (particularly in the area of life where Sagittarius rules) and RELEASE it! The universe has your back on this one. The more awareness you can conjure, the better. Trust, and do it!

Astrological Meaning of Ison: Rudolf Steiner, a 19th century thinker, philosopher, teacher and astrologer, had strong views about comets, their origins and relationship to our collective evolution. I’m not as certain as he was, but metaphorically, I feel Ison represents a clean sweep, a chance to release old habits and ‘tolerations’ so that we can be more authentic, vital, clear and carefree as we journey along our evolutionary way. As Ison came into our solar system, the comet swept through the signs of Cancer to Sagittarius. This will represent a hemisphere in the natal horoscope, and by taking note, and looking deeply into the houses that Ison passed through, we can consciously release any buried, kinked up or misaligned energy in those areas of life.

If you need any help identifying where Ison has traveled in your chart, put your hand up. I, or someone here, can show you how to spot it.

Watch for updates on Ison in the comments. We’ll know soon if Ison:

1) break into pieces
2) go poof (evaporate completely)
3) survive to slingshot around the sun and head back toward the Oort cloud from which he came

Remember, this is all happening in Sagittarius, the sign of explorations into the unknown. Whatever happens, the symbolic significance is revealing. Feel free to post your ideas, insights, questions and revelations.

Mercury Direct @2 Scorpio Times corrected – Thank you Shell!
LA   – Sunday – 1:11 pm
NY   – Sunday – 4:11 pm
LON – Sunday – 9:11 pm
SYD – Monday – 8:11 am

Astro-LOA Flash: Mercury direct is the big news of the week, while asteroids Pan and Eros dance across the Aries – Libra equinox point. The combination is exhilarating.

Whatever appeared for you in the reflective Rx period gains power, meaning as you release what is old, worn out and no longer authentic, new, vital energy rushes in.

The trickster is about, guaranteed to tip things upside down in order to blaze the trail. Best action: point your feet in the direction you want to go. If you aren’t sure, take this simple test – If it lights your fire, it’s game on! Your LOA support from Jeannette Maw? Make Way for Miracles!

Eros opposite Pan this weekend is a trickster vibe, on the Zero Degree Aries Point no less) one where the call of the wild may lure you into nature’s secret ways. Be it in your vivid imagination, dreams or waking life, expect the sultry allure of Eros to mingle with Pan’s shock tactics.

The Trickster is an archetypal figure found in all cultures, in all places, in all times. She, or he, is both unconscious and super-conscious, hidden in our psyche and projected out into the world.

The Trickster comes along when we are stuck, either in a habit pattern that no longer serves us, a limiting thought about ourselves or others, or a feeling of being trapped or out of touch with the creative life force. When we get into such a state, sooner or later the Trickster comes to blow the roof off the house. We fall in love, or make a radical change or have a sudden shake up and the flow of energy to our hearts is renewed.

Eros and Pan are both metaphors for the Tricksters and when they team up, we know big things are about to happen. Check where 0 degrees of Aries – Cancer – Libra – Capricorn is in your chart to get a glimpse of where the action is! It’s a live one! Enjoy!

Feel free to post your experiences in the comments.

Feel free to join in over at the GoodVibeAstrology forum. Jeannette Maw, the GoodVibecoach, and I will be running two free calls in November, the roundtable on the 5th and a topic call on the 19th.

Also at GVA, while mercury is Rx, the Essential Astrology for Deliberate Creators course is on sale. For many, studying your chart through the Mercury in Scorpio transit will be just the thing. Join in!

“Gold” by Michael Parkes

ASTRO-LOA FLASH: Mars, the inner warrior, the energy that gets us out of bed in the morning, asserts our WILL, and drives us forward into action, enters the fiery sign of Leo, ruled by the Sun. Think bold, commanding, animated and aware! It’s the light of consciousness, after all. The questions is, where does this shine in your chart?

MARS INTO LEO – AUG 27/28th
LA – Wed –   7:04 pm
NY – Wed – 10:04 pm
LON – Thur – 3:04 am
SYD – Thur – 12:04 pm

The natural seat of Leo is the fifth house, ruling anything that makes us feel special, unique or creative, like children, artistic endeavors, literary works, dance, music, drama, love affairs, play, risk, speculation . . . you get the idea. Wherever Mars is transiting for you, it brings this energy with it. Big time!

Leo links to the sun, a sign of individuality, healing, vital force, identity, purpose and destiny. It packs a lot of kick. Mars amps up our creative expression, power, courage and sense of authority. Where Leo falls is in the chart is the landscape this energy will likely unfold, where thoughts turn into actions, creative expression skyrockets and self-worth grows. In two words, game on!

Where we find Leo in the horoscope is where we need to feel distinct, special and artistic. We want to be in the limelight in some way, affirming our value, worth and merit. The sights are always set on the future and Leo has no problem imagining how things might be, which is basically, AWESOME. Leo is also all about the heart.

Your vision will become clear only when you look into your heart.. Who looks outside, dreams. Who looks inside, awakens. -Carl Jung

Leo rules the heart, making this the perfect time to look deep into our wellspring of love. Is it depleted or brimming? What can we do to engage more here? As we know, like attracts like, so the building of love, heart and creative fire begins with our thoughts. For example, to amp up creativity, we might ask:

1) what would a more creative life look like?

2) what would it feel like?

3) what would I be like?

Then notice and APPRECIATE how you are like that, right here, right now, in this red hot moment. Let your imagination loose on this! It’s guaranteed to awaken the muse with life changing consequences.

Every “I am” flamboyantly spreads its…intensity in whorls of self-expression and self-glorification. It sees itself pictured in the eyes of being…in the shapes its creative imagination summoned…in walls made alive with arabesques and sounding boards pregnant with a myriad of potential tones.” -Dane Rudhyar

Dennis Elwell puts it simply:

“No matter what he is doing, Leo should be encouraged to put the distinctive stamp of his own personality on it.”

Remember, Mars is energy, heat, molecular motion. Without Mars, we would not be able to move forward, assert our desires or even stand our ground. When this planet is in Leo, the dynamic of CREATIVE and HEART FELT LIFE hits overdrive! What will you be doing to support this energy?

Mars is in Leo until mid-October. Make the most of it! Now!

GAME ON!

The call is up on GoodVibeAstrology with links to both sample charts (scroll down to the bottom for ‘Free Monthly Call – August’) for those who couldn’t dial in.

Enjoy! xKim

Welcome the sun into the sign of Virgo on August 22, as he lights up a new sector of the sky. This is a time to celebrate the Qi energy in each one of us, and honor the Virgo side of life!

Think of the sun as a representation of your purpose, path and power, the process of individuation. In astrology, the sun embodies distinction, identity and the ability to go forth and shine in the world. In mythology, archetypes of the sun, Ra, Apollo, Sekhmet, rule healing, vitality, identity, distinction, power and destiny.

As the sun transits through your chart, taking 12 months to traverse all 12 signs, you can track the illumination of each area of life. With sun into Virgo, it is the Virgo sector of your chart that receives these warm and healing rays. Perfect timing to tune into your health, fitness, diet and ritual routine.

Where we find Virgo in the horoscope is where we need to analyze and discriminate, keeping what is valuable and eliminating what is not. Virgo by house is an area of life were we need to be organized, refine our purpose through talents, skills and abilities and use our vibrant nervous energy in creative and productive ways.

Virgo is ruled by Mercury, quicksilver messenger of the gods. Mercury oversees communications of all kinds, commerce, teaching, learning, expression through the written or spoken word and objective observation. It is Virgo’s link with Mercury that gives extra zest and vigor, making it the most lively and inquisitive of the Earth signs. Virgo also expresses Mercury’s aptitude for efficiency, systematic organization and the hard work necessary to turn thoughts into language, interchange and effective expertise. Obviously, where the sun is transiting in Virgo, you want to get your act together! It’s where you want to ‘decide’.

Think of Virgo as symbolic of the possibility to learn and transform oneself through a personal ‘crisis’— that’s CRISIS, from the Greek KRINEIN, to separate, distinguish, decide.

Dane Rudhyar puts it like this: A decision is the act of accepting to become different from what one has been—thus the acceptance of change and self transformation.

The operant words are Change and Self-transformation. After all, Virgo is a mutable sign. That means fluid and transforming! With sun in this sector, we get lose and easy with choice, change and quicksilver decisions. We amp up our respect of the body through healthy choices of food, exercise and rest. Also this is an area of skill development where we can become masterful, capable and wise.

If you want to explore where Virgo is in your chart and how the transit of the sun for the next 30 days can light up your life, tune in to GoodVibeAstrology on Talkshoe, where Jeannette Maw and I will be exploring these ideas and taking questions.

‘Maria’ detail by Michael Parkes

Astro-LOA Flash:  Venus glides once again into the airy, free spirited, intellectual sign of Gemini, giving us a lift when it comes to our powers of attraction. Following Jupiter, and asteroid 896 Sphinx, she catches up to them at the end of May where a meeting of the minds will transform perceptions. Don’t be surprised if you have to solve a riddle to move forward!

Venus, now our evening star, is a symbol of the powers of attraction. She rules love (epithemia), sex, affection and sensual pleasure, and also what we value aesthetically and artistically. Where Venus resides is where we can attract naturally, where we can win others over to our side. It also depicts a desire for relatedness, not so much for the sake of merging but for the determination of deeper values. Through one-to-one relationship, personal values are identified, refined and adjusted.

VENUS INTO GEMINI
LA – Thursday 8.02 am
NY – Thursday 11.02 am
LON – Thursday 4.02 pm
SYD – Friday 1.02 am

The sign of Gemini is light, breezy, curious and open (obsessed) to learning. Think: loves space, freedom and variety. Knowledge is power so this is a time to KNOW what you desire. Get current with core values. Get conscious about how you attract experiences into your life.

Note: Anyone with natal, progressed or Draconic planets at critical degrees of the the Mutable Signs (4  and 17) may notice the transit of Venus over theses points strongly as Venus ruled experiences come to a head  – relationships, food, money, values, ideas about the body . . .

Also consider the decanates: What are they? Simply, one of the ways to divide the signs to show deeper meaning. There are several traditional ways to do this – the following is my favorite.

The first decan takes on the full nature of the sign itself. The second decan adds qualities of the next sign in its element and the third taking on the subsequent sign of its element.

0 to 9 Gemini 59′: Gemini/Gemini The first decan of Gemini is powered by pure Mercury energy – curious, restless, thinking, flexible and adaptive. This decan gets bored easily and needs diverse stimulation to keep the interest up. Multi-tasking is essential.

10 to 19 Gemini 59: Gemini/Libra The second decan combines Venus’ sensuality and social grace with the flexibility and curiosity of Gemini. It wants to play and share! Repetition and  routine is the nemeses, so amp up interactions-intimate and artistic connections. Likes to partner.

20 to 29 Gemini 59: Gemini/Aquarius The Saturn/Uranus decan of Gemini increases the need to express healthy ambition without getting trapped or over burdened. Super autonomous and freedom loving. Zany. Stimulation is vital and so are group projects or contacts with like-minded friends.

The Venus by Michael Parkes

After rising as the morning star all of 2012, Venus has  crossed the Sun by ‘superior conjunction‘, moving  into the position of the evening star.

It’s a big event, symbolically, and added to that is the presence of Uranus, the god of change. What we are seeing is a whole new vibration when it comes to personal, one-to-one  relationships, creative expression (our relationship to our Muse), core values and finances $$. Yes, they all go together, money, self-worth and love!

Venus refines the solar energy, putting awareness on beauty, harmony, love and creative, passionate expression. In the sign of Aries, the spirit is fiery, adventurous and ‘take action’ oriented. At to that the radical, unpredictable and ‘rug out from under the feet’ nature of Uranus and we have a time of surprise, fresh insights, change (with urgency!) and general rebellion against anything that rings of ‘stuck or stagnated’.

As the sun and Uranus set, Venus and Mars follow. Venus will be invisible until she reaches about 10 degrees distance from the Sun – from there on out until early 2014, she’s our evening star!

Astro-LOA tip of the week includes opening the floodgates to new thoughts and exploring NEW core values. Get current with yourself! It’s like something is waiting to be born and we have to ‘let go’ of old thoughts and literally ‘step up’ to the new wave. It may feel right to purge, allow for ‘reckless’ and unconventional thoughts to air, honor inspired action and find NEW ways to activate the vibration YOU want to experience. Here are 17 easy tips by Jeannette Maw, to support the awakening.

Welcome Venus as the evening star, and welcome the change in you! Let us know what this stirs up for you!

Happy Equinox 2013
