Hi Everyone,

Welcome New Year of the Fire Monkey!

The second New Moon after the solstice 2016 marks Chinese New Year of the Fire Monkey and oh boy, what a chang-a-roony. 

NEW MOON IN 19 AQUARIUS Feb 8/9
LA – Monday 6:39am
NY – Monday 9:39am
LON – Monday 2:39pm
SYD – Tuesday 1:39am

This is the year of the Cheeky Monkey. A blockbuster shift, moving from two years of Wood element (Green Horse and Green Sheep) to Red Fire Monkey.

Contemplative becomes assertive.

Reflective become proactive.

Stuck becomes rockets launching, fire works and who cares about the slippery slope!

Think of it a bit like moving back to Aries after two years of Taurus, back to Leo after Virgo, back to Sagittarius after Capricorn. From Earth to Fire means we’ve tilled the soil, planted the seed and now make room because HEY-O they are going to grow!

Monkey years have an abundance of energy, enthusiasm and spark. In FIRE, all the MORE dynamic.

This sign shares some of the intellectual and quick-silver qualities of western astrology’s sign of Virgo including a love of friends, witty dialog and analytical capabilities. It’s mutable, and again, with added fire, think Sagittarius enthusiasm.

Monkeys years are about lofty challenges and high sighted goals–we actually thrive when they have something way out there to reach for. With a hefty dose of curiosity, Monkey years bring a deal of information so we can turn what we learn into wonderful stories we can share with others.

Our monkey year is all about communicate–be it through phone, internet or face to face. The main thing is we all feel connected. Social, sensitive and full of life, Monkey years can turn trouble into fun, gloom into a sunny day, low returns and results into high octane YES!

Happy New Moon and Chinese New Year of the Monkey! Set sky high intentions! Let us know how it’s all going in the comments!

ARIES: Chinese New Year of the Monkey is a social time with plenty of goals and fuel for the fire. Friends mean the world to you and come through with great support and insight. Seek success with confidence, but note the difference between a goal and an agenda. You don’t make it happen. You let it . . .

TAURUS: 2016 is all about your career, mission and connection to others. You’ll want to be productive on a practical level as well as show the world a whole new, playful, carefree side. Think of it as a time to get yourself ‘correct.’ That means recognize your worthiness, see your perfection, love yourself unconditionally.

GEMINI: Monkey year is an adventure for those born under the sign of the twins. Think expansion, excitement, travel via mind, body, spirit, and a whole lot of dreams come true. Your best approach? Use the power of the ‘pre-thanks.’ The strength of your words, written and spoken, blossoms before your eyes!

CANCER: The year of the Monkey invites you to be an energy connoisseur, to pay attention to the play of power between you and others, friends, associates and love interests alike. That means you tune into what you are flowing, without judgement, so you can line up with what you want. Think awareness and fun!

LEO: Single, mated, looking, hiding, complicated or no strings, 2016 is about getting your love life really happening. This opportunity is pure gold, so put some energy into activating the dream come true relationship you always wished for but never quite manifested. Clean house, inner and outer. Company’s coming!

VIRGO: Whether you want to drop a few extra pounds, gain muscle-lose fat, get into your best shape ever, heal an ongoing issues or boost your magical manifesting skills, the year of the Monkey supports it big time! This is how it works. Get your vibration, AKA your thoughts, there first. Drop judgment!

LIBRA: Year of the Monkey holds a special place in the heart of Libra, one that will bring forth a pot of gold you had no idea was waiting. Probably didn’t see this rainbow coming! But here it is, abundance city! All you have to do is activate ‘Life is Good,’ and you’re following the creative magic. Holy wow!

SCORPIO: You have a lighthearted connection with the year of the Monkey and to honor it, think about the one thing you really want but are too (afraid, busy, denying, ignoring, projecting on to others) to create. This is you chance to awaken true desires and make them so, by putting your focus there. You go for what you want. Period!

SAGITTARIUS: All forms of communication lighten up in the year of the Monkey, amplifying everything from dissertation skills to writing, speaking and publishing. It’s ‘spread the word time’, and all you have to do is feel worthy. Boost self-esteem and positive self-talk for major 2016 joy, happiness and success!

CAPRICORN:  Monkey years can amp up your goals and hone your focus, making 2016 a fast track to abundance. How to fuel the engine? Re-think your relationship to FUN. Seriously! The motto is, as long as you’re having a good time, there’s no such thing as wasting time! Play. Delight. Take up a hobby. Muse. Cruise.

AQUARIUS: The New Moon in Aquarius heralds the year of the Monkey with personal significance for Water-bearers. This is a powerhouse year, one in which you get to decide how things go. It’s all about your perspective so start fresh, drop judgements and open you mind. Motto: There is no spoon. Now go after what you want.

PISCES: The year of the Monkey can be just the fun and fulfillment you’ve been hanging out for. Are you ready? With the New Moon in your solar 12th house, it’s all about ‘the dream’. Feel free to muse your way through the year because the power of transformation lies in you ability to relax and chill out! Allow, allow, allow!

Happy Chinese New Year xxxKim!

Solstice Spree

Sisters of the Sun Keith Mallet

Astro-LOA Flash: It’s mid-winter solstice in the southern hemisphere; mid-summer in the north. Traditionally, we celebrate, appreciate and open our eyes to the gifts life brings. Fuel your goals, aspirations and desires by honoring your connection to life, love, nurturing and joy. Today, you do what lights you up, and be glad for it.

The solstice is a turning point, symbolic of endings and new beginnings, and with Mars so close to the sun, your intentions are magnified. Your thoughts and desires literally have wings. Let them fly!

Technical Note: In Astro lingo, the Sun is crossing the AP – the zero degree “Aries” point. What? The sun is nowhere near Aries. It’s 0 degrees of Cancer.

True, but all the Cardinal points of the zodiac, 0 Aries, 0 Cancer, 0 Libra and 0 Capricorn are collectively called the “Aries Point”. If you take a square piece of paper and fold it so each corner is in the same place, you’ll see why.

As the sun crosses the AP, it also triggers other powerful points (the Draconic Nodes) releasing energy to move you along the path. If you want to fast track your abundance, creativity, well-being, love and enlightenment, then focus your thoughts today!

Deliberate Creations tips from the GoodVibeCoach:  Set magical intentions. Pre-Pave and appreciate.

Spot where the four 0 degree Cardinal signs are in your chart. Think greet, engage, give, receive.This is where you go on a Solstice Spree of enthusiasm and joy!Not sure where that is, comment and we’ll give you a hand.

Tips for amping up the solstice energy

ARIES: Get playful and feisty in the home. Engage with the family, go on a cleaning spree, clear the are with clan members and enjoy some good home cooking.

TAURUS: Start a new course of study, join a community project, get friendly with the written or spoken word. What do you want to say, teach, learn?

GEMINI: Indulge and cherish your core values, develop your talents and be MORE of who you are. Think about what supports your life and love it up.

CANCER: This is a new chapter in your life. Open the door to your dreams by being true to yourself. Let go of old patters and start something new. Something YOU.

LEO: Commune with your unconscious. Take time to reflect on your dreams. Create, walk in nature, engage with spirit, meditation, yoga, healing. Serve.

VIRGO: Hang out with your like-minded others. Their aims and goals are linked to yours and sharing aspirations will fuel them. We all succeed together!

LIBRA: Your career takes a turn for the new and improved, with a chance to carry more responsibility for much greater reward. Better do what you love. Now!

SCORPIO: Take your mind, body or spirit somewhere it’s never been before – meditate, travel, read, learn. You’re after new horizons, explorations and the unknown.

SAGITTARIUS: Intimacy and intensity lights a blaze of passion. Go ahead and take a leap in the dark. You’ll never know, if you don’t. Emotional risks pay off!

CAPRICORN: Partnerships of every kind ignite you desires, heating up energy and leading you places you didn’t know you wanted to go. That’s the plan. Go there.

AQUARIUS: A whole knew relationship to health and well being is waking up. You feel more, do more, create more, when you treat body like your very best friend.

PISCES: Creativity springs from a well of romantic notions. Write, play, choreograph, sing, act. The muse speaks to you through love. Listen in!

Laugh with Mercury Rx

Chelìn Sanjuan Magical Realism

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.

Rx zone via Cafe Astrology – click to enlarge

 

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!

RE-Bloged from the Supernatural Underground.

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!

Read the full zodiac over at the Supernatural Underground!

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
9th house – New horizons, travel, beliefs, WWW
10th house – Career, mission, profession, public relations
11th house – Friends, goals for the future, groups
12th house – unconscious, dreams, giving and receiving, meditative states

Care to share where you have the early degrees of Aries? What house has Aries on the cusp? This is where you want to be the boss and express your sense of Self in the world. Go! Go! Go!

Reflections on Mars Rx

Tags

allowing, Aries, Astro-LOA, astrology, Cafe Astrology, deliberate creation, Free montly calls, Good Vibe Astrology, I am, intentions, Janette Dalgliesh, Jeannette Maw, Kim Falconer, learn astrology from Kim, Libra, Mars, Mars retrograde, Mars Rx, relaxing, resistance

Loving in Reflection by Rave250

Mars is about to ‘stop’ in the sky (metaphorically)  and turn retrograde, just before hitting the exact conjunction with the North Lunar Node.

Even though we like to initiate new things on the new moon (March 1), think of it as a reflecting time in your journey, a chance to go back over anything set in motions late last year when Mars entered the sign of Libra.

Libra is an idealistic, objective AIR sign, interested in collaboration, union and partnerships of all kinds. Aries linked Mars, on the other hand, is all about leading, directing and being the independent contractor.

Libra by HOUSE is an area of life where we need to share our ideals, socialize, experience beauty and refinement and accommodate to the needs of others so we may have ongoing relationships and unions. You can imagine how Mars will stir things up! The finely tuned balance between self-direction (I am) and collaboration (we are) must be found and expressed through ideas, companionship and artistic creation.

Mars Rx in Libra asks us to reflect on these notions of balance, sharing AND independence, will AND willingness.

The key here is to allow for reflection before you set new intentions. This is not about push, try, struggle. Just the opposite, and Mars, who is the KING of PUSH, may resist this reflective time. He just doesn’t always want to sit still.

If you have resistance to relaxing, Jeannette Maw has some excellent hints and tips. If life seems to have turned uber emo, check out Janette Dalgliesh’s Dealing with Emotional dilemmas. Jeannette’s Relaxing in the Rapids is a great metaphor as well.

Times for Mars through the Rx zone – thank you Cafe Astrology.

Serpiente alquimica – Ourorboros

Astro-LOA Flash: After close to two years in the sign of Scorpio, the North Lunar Node (which moves in a retrograde direction) has transited into the sign of Libra.

Think ‘personal relationship and the perspective gained from collaboration, sharing and working together.’

For a recorded discussion of the nodes, go to Free Astro-LOA at GoodVibeAstrology.com

Because the South Lunar Node is always directly opposite of the North, it has moved from the sign of Taurus to Aries. The balance we are creating is between the ‘I am’ and the ‘we are’. Where there is aggression, we can find compassion. Where there is self-denial, we can gain independence and distinction. Look to 29 Aries and Libra are in you chart to see the houses, or areas of life, to focus on. No rush. We have this polarity activated for the next 18 months.

The Nodes represent a cycle of energy – The North Lunar Node, the Dragon’s Head or Caput Draconis, draws us toward new horizons of experience. It represents the areas of life where we can, with conscious effort and choice, break new ground and obtain valuable new experiences. Like the Sun, exalted in Aries, the North Lunar Node, when approached with courage, awareness and a sense of new possibilities, brings consciousness and growth. It can be our highest excitement!

The and the South Lunar Node, also known as the Dragon’s Tail or Cauda Draconis, draws us into the ‘past’. This represents instinctive desires that call us back to a place where we feel, if not comfortable, at least familiar. Like the Moon and her association with intuitive impulses, the South Lunar Node can operate without conscious volition. It is an instinctive response.

Howard Sasportas put it like this: “Pretend you are going on a trip and you have your bag ready to pack. The South Node represents everything you have included for your journey; the North Node represents the things you gain along the way.” I love that metaphor!

In terms of deliberate creation, the Nodes can show us where we might be resisting out next big thing, offering ideas of how to release fears and attachments to outcome so we can live our most fulfilling and happy lives.

Astro-LOA Tip of the week from Jeannette Maw: When you want to manifest something new, there’s a powerful question to answer that paves the way there. What does it feel like (to have it)?

NOTE: I often see the Nodes, activated by transits, synastry or relocation, representing people. In other words, the message of the Nodes is usually delivered by a compelling (or repelling-but-memorable) other. Something to keep in mind!

Let me know your recent experiences. Where is this shift in your chart? What have you noticed so far? How do you use the chart to find relief?
