Jupiter goes Direct December 25, 2011

Jupiter goes direct December 25, 2011. Jupiter rules excess of all kinds (how appropriate at Christmas time), luck, benefits, expansion. It goes direct at zero degrees Taurus, an earth sign ruling the body and sensual pleasures and is trine the Sun and Pluto. We can now manifest many wonderful, expansive things in our life. So make a list, what do you want to manifest for the New Year ? Meditate upon it, thank the universe for already bringing it, and be grateful.  Many blessings and much peace for the New Year.

New Moon December 24, 2011

The new moon occurs on December 24, 2011 at 1:07 EST, in Capricorn, on Christmas Eve day. This new moon is conjunct Pluto, inviting us to transform ourselves to reflect more of who we really are. We are conditioned from birth by parents, educators, religions, and culture to be untrue to ourselves. This is a time of reflection, rejuvenation and renewal supporting us in our quest to become our own authority, marching to the beat of our own drum. What is your heart and soul beckoning you to become ?

Winter Solstice December 22, 2011

The winter solstice begins on Thursday, December 22, 2011 at 12:30 am EST. The Sun moves into Capricorn, inspiring us to work hard, be ambitious and get all those last minute christmas tasks completed. This is the shortest day of the year in the northern hemisphere, the longest day in the southern hemisphere. For us in the north, it is a time of going inward and reflecting on our 2011, then meditating to create a plan for a healthy, happy, prosperous 2012. 

Gemini Full Moon Lunar Eclipse December 10, 2011

With the Moon in Gemini and the Sun in Sagittarius, this eclipse invites us to think about how our beliefs shape our view of reality. During an eclipse, the Sun, Moon and Earth align, interrupting the electromagnetic rays from the Sun to the Earth. We are able to access higher dimensions and create new paradigms to re-invent our lives in new and better ways.  Uranus goes direct just hours before this eclipse, allowing us to express our uniqueness and authenticity with ease and grace.

Mercury retrograde Nov. 24 2011

Mercury goes retrograde from Nov. 24 - Dec 13, 2011. It's time to re-think, re-evaluate, release. Mercury is in Sagittarius, so our thoughts are about beliefs, our expanding consciousness and what risks we can take.

New Moon Solar Eclipse in Sagittarius Nov. 24-25, 2011

Eclipses are super potent new moons, signaling the end of one life lesson and the potential to graduate and move to the next level. Our inner consciousness is shifting, altering, increasing, expanding. This solar eclipse brings to light new frontiers, new possibilities and life-altering truths.

Full Moon in Taurus Nov. 10, 2011

This full moon continues to highlight our relationship to the Earth (Taurus) and our relationship to our unconscious mind and feelings (Scorpio). Are we eating healthful foods that nourish our bodies ? Do we treat Mother Earth with love and respect ? Are we letting our unconscious needs affect our relationships with ourselves and others ? What still needs to be excavated from our unconscious in order to allow more light energy into our conscious minds from the 11-11-11 gateway ? Ceres turns direct on Nov. 6, allowing us to continue nurturing our imaginations and spiritual selves. Neptune turns direct on Nov. 9, urging us to allow our spiritual light to shine into the world. Chiron turns direct on Nov. 10, asking us to share our message of healing with others.

What is Astrology Really ??

What Is Astrology … Really ???

Astrology is a lot more than just your sun sign. Most people know their sun sign, and whether they have Sun in Leo or Sun in Aquarius. They read their sun sign horoscope in the paper, and then say, astrology is just entertainment. Well, there is a lot more to astrology than simply your sun sign. Where is your Moon ? Where is your Venus ?? Where is your Mars ?? And what do these things mean ?? How can this information help me ?? And what does this have to do with spirituality and relationships ??

One can tell a lot from an astrological birth chart, or natal chart. A natal chart is an astrological chart erected at one's exact date, time and place of birth. The chart shows what sign each of the planets is in, as well as what house each planet is in. The planets are like the actors in a play, the zodiac signs are like the personality of the actors, and the house is the stage upon which the play is set. For example, let's say the moon is in cancer in the 7^th house. The moon represents a persons emotions, cancer is a very caring and nurturing sign, and the 7^th house is the house of marriage partnerships. So, you can say that this individual is very emotionally satisfied when in a nurturing and caring marriage or relationship, and will search out this type of relationship. The Moon's sign indicates the emotionality of the person. Mercury identifies how a person communicates. Venus indicates a persons values, boundaries, and their aesthetic sense. Mars represents a persons will, desire, and assertiveness. Pluto indicates the soul's greatest desire in this life, and the soul's greatest wounding. The wound must be healed before the soul can get on with it's greatest desire. Neptune speaks of the soul's greatest truth, but also, where we delude ourselves.

Karmic astrology is the study of the soul's journey in this current incarnation. It can identify your life's purpose and indicates at what times in your life you will feel the urge most strongly to explore your life purpose. It can indicate what theme your soul is working on in this life and other lives, such as money, relationships, fairness, trust, etc. The karmic chart can identify what past life issues you are still unconsciously carrying, that may be interfering with the soul's journey in this life.

Mayan Calendar ends today October 28, 2011
