With the New Moon in Gemini igniting the Mutable Cross, think mental and physical stimulation through the contrast of mind, body, spirit and desire. Meaning …

You want to expand, but do your feel worthy? You want to connect, but do you trust other people? You want to shine in your chosen calling, but do you really have it right?  This month is a puzzle only you can solve. And you will!

It’s perfectly natural, with this Grand Cross in the sky, to feel a little underwhelmed, a little meh. Don’t fight it. Sun/Moon square Jupiter, square Saturn, square Neptune, square Sun/Moon  …. aka the Mutable Grand Cross, will guide you into old, stagnant places that are ready to be released. Then, BLING! You’re on your way! Treat yourself to loads of kindness and self-care, and focus on something you know will light you up. Plenty of time later in the month to get the mojo working again.

New Moon @14 Gemini ’53
Saturday/Sunday June 4/5th

LA  – Sat –  8:00 pm
NY  – Sat – 11:00 pm
Lon – Sun – 4:00 am
SYD – Sun – 1:00 pm

Until then, it’s the dark moon Taurus, time to sound the retreat. Release any burning desire to MAKE things happen and rest, restore, rejuvenate. Give yourself some down time, foot off the throttle.  When the New Moon in Gemini rises, you’ll be all systems refreshed and ready to go. Set inspired new intentions then!

To amp this process up even more, look to where 15 degrees of Gemini is in your natal chart and immerse yourself in the environment of that house. Not sure how to find the transit? Here is a tutorial. If all efforts still have you scratching your head, ask for help in the comments. I, or another Astro savvy member of the 11th House will be happy to help.

Happy Dark Moon/New Moon, Everyone. I’d love to hear about the conversations, brainstorms and new intentions that brew for you this week.

ARIES/Moon in the 3rd house: Opportunities for travel could come up, but first they seem more laden with responsibilities than fun. Don’t be to quick to dismiss. If you’re feeling stressed, bored or restless, explore ways to make your world bigger. A course of study? Quality time with a sibling? Writing, speaking and learning are all favored this month. Set intentions there.

TAURUS/Moon in the 2nd house: Money, security and finances are on your mind, even more than usual this month. If you are equating personal freedom with dollars in the bank, try not to make that quite so literal. Freedom is a state of mind, not a fat bank statement. Ask any millionaire. Your core values are mutable right now. Tun in to where preferences have changed.

GEMINI/Moon in the 1st house: The restless urge to change inwardly may appear to be solved by changing outward circumstances like relationships, home, daily routine, career. But no… The outside situation is only a reflection of your inner state of being. For a new shop window, redress the display, not the foot traffic. There’s a lot of energy to fuel your next big desire. Set the intention now.

CANCER/Moon in the 12th house: This is a bridge building time where communications with your higher guidance, that BIG you inside the YOU you, is potentially golden. There is one of two choices: Focus on how wrong things are going, or focus on how right things are going. The first choice leads to gloomsvile. The second to Yahoo-it’s-happening-ville.  You decide.

LEO/Moon in the 11th house: Your social life is under the spotlight. Perhaps the initial feeling is, ‘This sucks …’ but don’t worry. Attention on what you want with friends, collaborations, joint projects and socially significant leadership all points you in the direction you want to go. Creativity begins this month in isolation then expands out to involve others in powerful ways. Don’t hold back.

VIRGO/Moon in the 10th house: Social identity, mission, profession gets a thorough makeover as the career takes a turn for the better (in the long run). Think more responsibility, more attention, more critical review, more pressure, and all for greater rewards. You may change career paths very suddenly, but if it feels good, you’ll be so glad you did. Set new intentions for a successful future.

LIBRA/Moon in the 9th house: New horizons are going to bring fresh insights with opportunities for travel, adventure, higher edu, and the expansion of dreams and aspirations. You gain inner perspective by going off the beaten path, especially in the areas of academia, publishing, foreign connections, and spiritual awakenings. Don’t back down on what you believe is right for you.

SCORPIO/Moon in the 8th house: Revelations and ah-ha moments arise when it comes to shared resources, hidden truths and co-creations. You are making big changes in this area of life, starting with how well you can let go of the past. Meaning REALLY let go. Intimacy and intensity will sling-shot you forward, and that requires taking emotional risks. Be willing to embrace the unknown.

SAGITTARIUS/Moon in the 7th house: The New Moon in Gemini is all about re-visioning your relationships so they are an authentic match to the NOW you, not the you of five years ago, or the you they would like you to be. As you understand yourSELF and project that identity with awareness and integrity, your relationships will bloom or wither. Get to a place where you feel at peace, either way.

CAPRICORN/Moon in the 6th house: There are two major areas activate by this New Moon: your health and your daily routine/job. There could be physical changes, where an old complaint or diagnosis resolves, freeing you up to put your energy into project  you haven’t been able start. Or you might change jobs, tasks/routines. The key is to focus on what you want to experience in the mind-body-spirit, and allow!

AQUARIUS/Moon in the 5th house: This is the most romantic energy of the year for you–not the only chance to access a red hot date night or creative ideal, but it’s definitely one of them. The focus is on heartfelt joy and connection, be that through art, children, intimacy or playing with the inner child. What starts out as #bahhumbug transforms into YES! Yes! Yes! … oh yeah …

PISCES/Moon in the 4th house: This is the perfect time to sort out any kinks between career goals/aspirations AND your home life/sanctuary. Remember, you can honor both by setting intentions for security AND abundance, comfort AND creative risk, sanctuary AND adventure. You decide, but make sure home and mission in life are both part of your journey, not some distant, vague destination.

Have a wonderful Gemini New Moon, all!

“The Sisters Best” by Claudia Tremblay

It’s the dark moon for another few days then up rises the New Moon in Gemini – times below. Until then, go inward, nurture, replenish, fuel the tanks. Once the Moon and Sun conjunct, let your intentions fly! The power of the universe is behind them.

NEW MOON @25 GEMINI
June 16/17th
LA – Tuesday – 7:06 am
NY – Tuesday – 10:06 am
LON – Tuesday – 3:06 pm
SYD – Wednesday – 00:06

The Sun, Moon, Mars and Eros are conjunct on this new moon, and if you didn’t know, I’ll tell you right now, Mars always heats things up; Eros adds more passion. Wherever this falls in your chart, you’ll have more energy, more spark, more vim and vigor. How to use this energy?

Online Ephemeris – NOTE Mars parallel the sun as well

Set intentions now! Focus on pre-paving the experiences you desire, and move forward with inspired action. Make it big!

Quick tutorial on the transits of the Moon.

Quick tutorial on the transits of the Sun.

Quick tutorial on the transits of Mars.

Gemini is ruled by Mercury, the  communications planet, messenger of the gods. This planet oversees ideas and the exchange of thoughts, intellectual expression and perception through the five senses and anything that circulates around the community be that home, neighborhood, country or planet.

Where we find the sign of the Twins in the natal horoscope is where we need to learn, develop our powers of observation and sharpen communication skills. We gather knowledge, multi-task and explore our natural curiosity and duality.With that area of the zodiac hosting the New Moon AND Mars (and Mercury) there is a strong focus that you don’t want to ignore.

Look for where you find 25 degrees of Gemini in your chart. That’s the hotspot for new intentions this month. Note also, the Sun, Moon and Mars will be quite close to the exact midpoint between expansive Jupiter at 19 Leo and tip the apple cart Uranus at 19 Aries. If you’re thinking the New Moon on the Ju/Ur midpoint will be a lightning rod for unexpected, welcome change, then you’re thinking right.

Tips for the New Moon:

Gemini Reminds us that Thoughts are Things – Tune in to what you are thinking!

ARIES/New Moon in the 3rd house: On the heels of Mercury Retrograde, reevaluate all modes of communication beginning with internet server plan, hardware, software then leading to your own voice. How are you using it? Suggestions: Start a new course of study, join a community project, get friendly with the written or spoken word. Ask: What’s next?

TAURUS/New Moon in the 2nd house: Go over the taxes, current invoices and bills. No, it’s not boring; it’s smart and practical. Get your financial world in order, then reward yourself with sumptuous yum. Suggestions: Indulge in all things sensual like hot baths, long walks in nature, massage, fine food, enlightening vistas. Ask: What can you touch?

GEMINI/New Moon in the 1st house: Time to rethink the shop window, how you show yourself to the world outside. Is your wardrobe, hair style and way of being a match to the current you vibe? Suggestions: This is a new chapter in your life. Open the door to your dreams by showing up! Say YES! Ask:Are you who you want to be?

CANCER/New Moon in the 12th house: This moon is about letting your Ego step aside, for a moment, and allowing for deeper compassion to unfold without limits or judgments. Suggestions: Commune with your unconscious. Take time to record and reflect on your dreams, create unchecked and unedited, meditate and merge. Ask: are you deep in the well of your creative heart?

LEO/New Moon in the 11th house: The focus is on your goals for the future and who it is that travels with you on the journey. Comradery. Stop and check in the crowd! Suggestions: Remember friends and like-minded others are a source of inspiration and company. Hang out with your own kind. Ask: Am I with my clan?

VIRGO/New Moon in the 10th house: Social identity, mission, profession gets a thorough make-over as the career takes a turn for the better (in the ‘big picture’ long run). Think: more responsibility for greater rewards. Suggestions: You have to LOVE what you do to make it sing! Ask: Is your work your calling?

LIBRA/New Moon in the 9th house: New horizons and far away vistas bring insights. Epiphany moments. You gain even more perspective by going off the beaten path. Suggestions: Take your mind, body or spirit somewhere it’s never been before — meditate, travel, read, learn. Ask: Are you aiming high enough?

SCORPIO/New Moon in the 8th house: Revelations flood in when it comes to shared resources and co-creations. You are making big changes in this area of life and it all begins with respect and appreciations. Suggestions: Intimacy and intensity iare what will light your fire now. Go ahead and take an emotional risk. Ask: Have you been trying to play it safe?

SAGITTARIUS/New Moon in the 7th house: This lunation is all about re-visioning your relationships so they are an authentic match to you. You’ll be seeing much clearer at this time, helping you allow more in them and yourself. Suggestions: be honest with yourself about what you want. Ask: Do you let yourself be seeb? If not, why not?

CAPRICORN/New Moon in the 6th house: If you’ve been on auto-pilot, it’s time to stop and take charge of your vessel! ie make choices that resonate with who you are right now and where you want to go, starting with the little, day by day things. Suggestions: Put energy into the body, health and physical well-being. Ask: are you full of vim?

AQUARIUS/New Moon in the 5th house: This lunar event activates your child-like spirit of joy. Will you take the inner kiddo out to play? Suggestions: Creativity and healing springs from a well of romantic notions. Think dates, moves, dinners, walks under the stars. Entertain, and be entertained! Ask: Are you in love?

PISCES/New Moon in the 4th house: Time to sort out the schism between career goals/aspirations AND your home life sanctuary. Remember, you can honor both, if you’re honest about how you feel. Suggestions: Clean the house, wash the windows, clear the air, especially with family and siblings. Ask: Are you happy?

Happy Gemini New Moon, everyone.

Astro_LOA Flash: Mercury turns retrograde, an apparent backward motion from May 18 to June 11 and crossing 13 to 4 degrees of Gemini. You can see the full retrograde zone below.

Learn more about transiting Mercury and Mercury Retrograde in these tutorials.

It’s definitely Trickster time and the best approach is to LAUGH! That really is good medicine.

Not that there’s anything pathological going on, but seriously, loosen up. Approach this time with a lighthearted curiosity.

Review what Mercury Rx mean. Metaphorically, the messenger of the gods is slowing down, going back over old territory, signalling a time for you to rethink your beliefs, MO, approach, actions, desires and above all thoughts, especially in the area of life where you find 4 – 13 Gemini. If you aren’t sure, ask for help in the comments!

To allow for change, we have to get flexible with our ideas. So now is the time to be more open, curious and ready to see another perspective. Relish this! It’s a chance to grow in so many ways.

What about buying computers, losing keys, traveling and signing contracts?

I receive a lot of emails that begin with, “I want to  _____ but am freaking out because Mercury is Rx. What do I do?”

The answer is, you relax. Remember? We are meant to rethink things, reconsider and see the world in a new way. If we stay open, curious and laughing, and ready to welcome Trickster energy into our lives (because the Trickster only shows up when we are stuck and need a shake up!) then Mercury retrograde becomes an enlightening time, restorative and refreshing.

At the same time, it makes sense to allow for potential delays. Leave for the airport a few minutes earlier. Double check for the tickets, the keys, the shopping list the passport. Research more than shoot from the hip. Become more zen, more aware.

You can see how this is good for the soul, yes?

Hints by zodiac sign for WHERE you want to relax, rethink and restore.

ARIES: The Mercury Rx puts the Trickster in control of your tongue. You say one thing and they hear another. Emails, sans body language, get misconstrued. Don’t even think about sending text msg without punctuation. But it’s excellent for revising manuscripts or creative projects put on the back burner. Go there!

TAURUS: Use this Mercury Rx to get in touch with what really gives you a sense of peace and happiness, then let go of the outmoded core values and actions. Awareness through stillness is the first step. It will lead to skill and talent development that is more authentic than you ever though possible.

GEMINI: Mercury Rx meanders through your home, work, Self and relationship life. Everything! Best reflect on what you believe about what you do, where you do it, whom you do it with. How? Just set an intention to notice the things you like about your life and smile. Exhale and limitations are going, going, gone.

CANCER: With Mercury Rx in your solar 12th house, it’s time to go ‘in’ and listen to your dreams. Not daydream fantasies of achievement, goals, challenges and actions, but really sink deep into the depths of your soul. What messages are welling up from there? Watch for synchronicity, tune into feelings, receive.

LEO: Mercury Rx in your 11th house of friends and groups can turn the usual gatherings into a herd of wild horses, all galloping off in different directions. Not lot of control. Allow for a new view when it comes to social connections, and find ways to relax amid the chaos. Gems emerge when you aren’t looking.

VIRGO: Career, mission or profession can feel like a dream time journey, with the auto focus weaving in and out! This is good news! For the next three weeks you let go of trying to micromanage your future and ‘make things happen.’ Let your neurons relax so the universe can open new doors to infinite possibilities!

LIBRA: Travel or study plans turn into the trickster’s playground for the next three weeks. Deep breaths. Remember, it’s not about forging ahead right now, but finding peace and serenity in the midst of contrast. Take time out to reconsider your world view. Is it what you think, or what you are expected to think?

SCORPIO: Mercury Rx in your house of shared resources has you reconsidering any joint financial arrangements, both income and debt. As you sift through possibilities, you’ll discover creative ways to organize and restructure the boundaries to your liking. You decide, but not yet. Let it marinate for a while. Go have fun.

SAGITTARIUS: Communication with partners, practical or intimate, goes a bit zany– muddled and/or blurred! It’s not the best time to come to any conclusions as wires get crossed. Use your gut feelings to make choices that can’t be delayed, and ask what you believe about partnerships. Rethink your relationships, without judgement.

CAPRICORN: Mercury Rx through your 6th house of well-being says reconsider your lifestyle. Is this really what you want, or are you there because of circumstances ‘beyond your control?’ (ha!) Take stock of your nutrition, exercise, healthy care, comfort zone and routine. Start with what you believe about your body!

AQUARIUS: This is a time to go into cruise control on the creative realm and practice the art of allowing. Think play, recreate and relax. Consider where you can expand your beliefs and live more in the ‘now’. The goal is to drop judgment and experience life in the red hot moment. And it will be red hot!

PISCES: Thoughts turn to home life, family and symbiotic connections. Give yourself enough ‘me’ time to appreciate recent inner growth and development. Ask what family means to you. Home? Is there anything you believe that could be limiting your experience of others? Listen. Love. Reflect!

Astro-LOA Flash: Mars turns Void of Course in Taurus (see times below) giving us some coasting time until the big bang into Gemini. Think of it as shifting into neutral when you’re clocking a good speed. You have a certain momentum and now you can let things ride.

Things to do on a Mars VOC

Relax, sleep in, congratulate yourself on what is working, growing, flourishing, and allow the trajectory to take you to the next exciting step. Celebrate!

Things not to do on a Mars VOC

Push, shovel, slave, barter, badger, holler, wrangle, threaten, macro or micro manage, regret, chastise, judge.

Mars is the engine of the psyche. The action station! It burns the fuel to turn the pistons of your life, getting you out of bed in the morning to jump into a new day.

Learn More about the astrology – natal and transit – of Mars on this quick tutorial.

When VOC, it’s ideal to unwind while you fill the tanks! Why? Because Mars has just been through almost all of Taurus and you have burned your Taurus house/planets down to the nib. In the days of the void, you refuel! Joss Whedon, a Cancer btw and clearly adept and self-nurturing and love, says:

Fill the tanks, fill the tanks. Constantly watch things, and things you don’t [normally watch]. Step outside your viewing zone, your reading zone. It’s all fodder but if you only take from one thing then it’ll show. – Joss Whedon

Whether your focused on business, art, helping professions, family, parenting, farming, it doesn’t matter. Find a way to refill what has been depleted. It might be reading, viewing, more exercise, less exercise, more nourishing food, fasting, massage, meditation, parties, sex, intimacy or time on your own. Your inner guidance knows what to do, or not do. Just fill the tanks.

NOTE: It’s usually the Moon’s void of course phase that we track, occurring for hours or a day every 2.5 days, but any planet, other than the sun, goes void of course. There are several ways to measure this. The contemporary way is to note when the Moon or planet is PAST the exact degree of its final major aspect while still in its current sign. So on the 9th of May, when Mars reaches 28 Taurus 24, it makes no applying aspect in that sign until moving into Gemini on the 11th. At that point it immediately applies to the square to Saturn at 2 Sagittarius.

Mars VOID is a really cool time to play with Jeannette Maw’s idea of doing nothing. Nothing but receive!

Let me know in the comments how you fill the tanks.

I’m putting in extra reading, meditation, conscious appreciation and making a career mood board. I’ll blog on that when Mars is in Gemini!

What about you?

Tip o’ the Month o’ May

Chelìn Sanjuan

The Merry Month of May swings into action with the Full Moon in Scorpio on the 3rd/4th. It has a bit of a sting! Think of it as a powerhouse time of transformation where you face inner landscapes of the past an have the choice to reignite or release. Anger could be involved, which is your personal, internal body guard. Remember that. You may not need quite so much protection anymore.

This is a passionate moon, one that could propel you over perceived obstacles, or have you brooding about them. You decide. Moon is sextile ruling Pluto, opposite ruling Mars. You have untold creative power and energy. Use it as you will.

Technical Note: The fixed full moon is in the second decanate of Scorpio, which is Pisces, linking the energy of Mars/Pluto (Scorpio rulers) and Jupiter/Neptune (Pisces rulers). With a T-Square between Sun, Moon and Jupiter, and the trine to Neptune added into the mix, we are definitely looking at an emotional ride. As my friend Mystic Medusa always says, you can go haute Pisces or Lo Pisces, and for this lunar event, it couldn’t be more true. Decide if you want to be compassionate or conniving before hand, and stick to it! This FM also activates the Uranus-Pluto square, still in close orb. The watch word is change.

Full Moon @13 Scorpio May 3rd/4th
LA – Sunday – 08:43 pm
NY – Sunday – 11:43 pm
LON – Monday – 04:43am
SYD – Sunday –  01:43 pm

On the 7th, Venus moves into Cancer and trines Neptune, an aspect that brings care, empathy and gentle willingness to nurture. Most likely this will soften the edges of the Full Moon but don’t mistake kindness for weakness. This is a cardinal sign, with a strong emotional push. Venus here wants to take actions, ones that will enhance a sense of clan and security. It’s a perfect time to tune into your ideas of family, love and caring. Are you fulfilled, or needing something more, or different?

Mars into Gemini on the 11th is a flirty, vivacious, playful energy, though it’s honed into a serious point as it opposes Saturn, and activates the Saturn – Neptune square. This means there’s a drive to release old, crystallized patterns, and the ability to make leaping creative change, if we look inward. Without self awareness, this laser focus can be pointed at others. If you find yourself listing people’s faults left, right and center, ask what that list has to do with you.

Remember, like attracts like. Use that knowledge to flow inspired action. This is a wonderful opportunity to “be the better person.” It seems like a lot of homework to do, all in the first two weeks but if you put awareness on your actions and desires and the inner drives that motivate them, you’ll find the Mercury Retrograde period a breeze.

New Moon in Taurus on the 17th, opposite Saturn has a thoughtful vibe. If you are ready to pitch a well organized project or idea that you have build solid from the ground up and discussed in detail prior, excellent. But if you’re about to shoot from the hip, or go in blind, hit the pause button. Success comes with a well thought out plan. See Monthly New Moon scopes for tips (up by the 15th).

Mercury turns Rx on the 18th in the home sign of Gemini. You want to use this energy to revisit your old stories. What is it you keep telling yourself about your life? Is it helpful or unhelpful? If it’s the latter, take time to release the old pattern and script yourself a NEW STORY about whatever’s not going right. Home, family, love, money, career? Tell a new story. No time could be better for this exercise than the Mercury Rx period, between May 18th and June 11th. Rethink, rewrite, restore.

Technical Note: Go to the house(s) where Mercury is Rx and focus your review and renew practice there. Jeannette Maw, the Good Vibe Coach has tips for Story Crafting in Manifesting. It’s a fabulous practice, especially for the time of Mercury Rx.

Sun into Gemini on the 21st is more AIR – bright, communicative, flexible and flirtatious energy, though again, it’s coming off an opposition to Saturn and activating the Saturn – Neptune square. If you are working on a long-term project that lights you up, and feeds your creative muse, this could be a time of fresh input and help out of the blue. If you’re slaving away in a job you don’t like or a relationship that feels unfulfilled, the shift to Gemini will be the ray of light in the pigsty. If so, USE it to plan your healthy, optimistic change. You have a choice, and that begins by thinking yourself up a better story.

The month winds down with Mercury Rx on Sun and Mars, which might feel like both the tortoise and the hare have fallen asleep. Don’t panic; chill. This in not the time to measure or weigh anything up. Don’t look at states, or check emails, phone messages or answering machines. Breathe. Relax. Find ease. The egg will hatch if you keep incubating. Cracking it early isn’t going to help the cause.

Patience in the time of Gemini, everyone!

I’d love to hear your thoughts and comments as the month unfolds. Let’s work on those new stories!

What kind of reading personality are you?

Most of us have a preference for certain kinds of books that fall into multiple genres. We also have a style of reading – eclectic, focused, serial, exacting, flitting, browsing. Whatever our approach, it changes over time, representing healthy evolution.

Can these preferences be related to the zodiac?

Test it for yourself and see!

ARIES: An independent reader. You like to browse for something that spontaneously lights your fire. Who cares what the critics think? This is all about your desires. No need to hold the thrills, chills and spills. Adventure and conflict a must. Action, SF, Romantic Thriller, War, Page Turners.

TAURUS: A slower pace isn’t an issue, as long as there is sensuality and pleasure. Woven into the pages is a true alpha hero and a powerful, high libido female. HEA is probably a must. Finds delight in Romance, Erotica, Memoir, Historical Fiction, Alternate History Fantasy.

GEMINI: Must capture interest in the first sentence. No slow starts. Must also be intelligent. sharp and fresh. Bestsellers are excellent for conversations/social gatherings. Loves a good “whodunnit”, Medical or SF Romance, Urban Fantasy, Crime-procedural, Self-Help, Literary Fiction.

CANCER: Loves tales of the past, historical, classical, haute sensibilities – Jane Austin! But not afraid of the darker side of fiction. Must engage the emotions. Will tolerate almost anything as long as there is a non-contrived HEA. Cook Books, Vampire, Mystery, Paranormal. Of course Romance!

New Moon in Gemini 2014

Book of Books by Vladamir Kush

With the New Moon in Gemini trine Mars in Libra think fresh ides, insights and of course, a powerful backdrop to set new intentions. It also falls into the ‘Gemini decanate’, meaning it’s talkative, curious and flighty, all about multitasking. The fluid and flexible, quicksilver, eternal student is unleashed.

Gemini says, “Lets TALK” and this new moon is all about the conversation. To add dazzle, mystery and intrigue, it is also square Neptune, the unseen real, what lies behind the veil. Things may not be all that they seem, or what people say they are. Double takes required.

Everything that deceives may be said to enchant. – Plato

NEW MOON @7 GEMINI
LA  – Wed  – 11:41 am
NY  – Wed  –  2:41 pm
Lon – Wed  –  7:41 pm
SYD – Thur –  4:41 am

The Gemini new moon asks us to think about the brainstorm, the free flow of ideas, the absences of judgment, the potential for something original to rise from the recombination of pre-loved ideas. This is not gossip, Q & A, dictation, dissertation or denouncement. It’s not teaching or learning in any traditional sense. This is Open Mind, and in Gemini, it’s a journey for two, one that can bring lasting transformation.

To amp this process up even more, look to where 7 degrees of Gemini is in your natal chart and immerse yourself in the environment of that house. Not sure how to find the transit? Here is a tutorial. If all efforts still have you scratching your head, ask for help in the comments. I, or another savvy member of the 11th House will help.

Happy New Moon, Everyone. I’d love to hear about the conversations, brainstorms and new intentions!
