The shadow of my Aries Rising & Upcoming Eclipse

8/14/2017

0 Comments

 
Confession: When news out of Virginia began to break, my reaction was visceral. Hot rage surged. The shadow side of my Aries Rising was activated, with all its primal tendencies to 'take down' all the misguided bigots. Mind you, my usual self, the self that keeps shadow hidden, becomes upset to see kittens fight.
Our upcoming Eclipse will cast a long shadow over large swaths of the US. and bits of Canada. Will post on this later..but expect your own shadows to be illuminated and be okay with this! The times prior to the actual Eclipse is a time when crisis erupt but it is also a cycle when we become more clear about our own neurosis; the bits that obstruct our hearts.
This Eclipse opens portals, creates a vibration that allows us to make an evolutionary leap into a more heart-centered consciousness. If we can clear, we can better align with this powerful occurrence. Make friends with your shadow. If you deny it or try to repress it, it will simply grow stronger in the dark.
Check in with any bias you may harbor. The Lord of Karma, Saturn has been moving through Sagittarius for awhile and will remain in this Sign until December. Saturn clarifies and holds us accountable. In this Sign, we wake up to bigotry, racial, religious, cultural biases, gender discrimination and more....Each one of us has an obligation ( Saturn governs obligations/responsibility-personal and collective).
Clear and make space in your heart. The winds of change are blowing...!

The wisdom and struggles of upcoming Mercury Retrograde.

The wisdom and struggles of upcoming Mercury Retrograde..
Our winged messenger is beginning to fly a bit slower and is in official retrograde motion, Aug.12-Sept. 5th. Currently, our fleet-footed Planet is in the Sign of Virgo. We can expect most of the communication snarls to occur in areas of life that are classically Virgo-work, health and daily routines.
In health matters, make sure any intended medical tests/ procedures relate to actual issue. Check to make sure appointments are scheduled correctly.
Confusions, changes of work routines and any implementation of new tech in the work world could be a bit of a nightmare.
The usual Mercury retrograde cautions apply. Ensure your e-mails, texts, calls, letters are being sent to the intended person(have heard some wild stories..). Check your security programs. Mercury retrogrades are times when computer viruses, scams are run rampant!
Mix-ups in communications, schedules are to be expected. Do your best to check and re-check! Take extra care with any documents. If possible, delay signing any legal docs until after Mercury flies a little straighter!
Okay, so where is the wisdom bit?! This is truly an excellent time to re-evaluate! Work, health/diet routines and fr. Sept1-5th matters of love and creativity. In work matters, what is your aim? Has life become work,all work? This re-evaluation can lead to bigger changes that impact quality of life and more..
If you know your Chart, see what 'House' Mercury is traveling through while it retrogrades. For example, if Mercury is moving through your 8th House, you will be re-considering banking practices, insurance, wills, partner's finances etc.
We hear from people from the past when Mercury is retro and ideas, visions often re-surface..maybe now is the time!

Mercury going retrograde.

Although, Mercury does not go retrograde until Aug.12th, our heavenly messenger will slow down and begin to create communication chaos now..as evidenced by the cell outage being experienced in parts of Atlantic Canada today. This Mercury retrograde will be a doozy!! Official dates-Aug.12-Sept5..but prior and until Sept19th, the influence will be felt/ experienced.
Vesta, who is the Goddess that reigns over sacred spaces and meditation practices is in the same degree-place- as Mercury, expanding Vesta's influence- Is Vesta telling us to put down our cell phones..and meditate!!??

Jupiter, King of the Gods, is at odds with Pluto, Lord of the underworld.

Jupiter, King of the Gods is at odds with Pluto, Lord of the underworld. Sounds like a wild fantasy story, right? But, the story of these two celestial giants clashing is fairly simple to break down.
Jupiter's influence includes ideology, abundance and optimism( and more..) Pluto's domain includes events that are out of our control, manipulation( and much more). This current dust-up between the two indicates that now is not the time to expand..! A push forward will be met with unforeseen obstacles. Pluto require a surrender. When the Lord of the underworld is active, the more we push, the less we accomplish. It is actually a practice in being less intense! This dust-up between these formidable giants is in play today but I would also include next week. The space between Eclipses(Aug.8-Aug.20) is not a time to initiate any big, new thing!
Pallas Athene, Goddess of Wisdom and Justice is tensely squaring off with Mars, making it challenging to align our actions(Mars) with our sense of justice. In other words, 'walking our talk' may be a challenge! Pallas Athene is also intimately connected with time and timing. Do not get your knickers in a knot if you find your timing is off..! Pallas Athene represents our inner/outer activist. She will play an important role in our Lunar Eclipse story-Aug7th.
Will post Lunar Eclipse story later! xo

Sagittarius Moon will square with Neptune

8/2/2017

Picture
The Archer's Moon tasks us to seek, connect with our inner wild and scan the Heavens for meaning and purpose.
Our Sagittarius Moon will square (tense-requires adjustment) with Neptune later this a.m. when our best efforts to stir the ashes for meaning may simly result in confusion and that is okay. It is a good lesson in how to better connect our emotions and heaven-high visions.
Later Moon will make an expansive, jovial connection to Jupiter but then She dances with sombre Saturn; a time when unprocessed emotions surface. Be gentle. Spend time in the wild. Teach. Learn.
The Lunar Goddess assumes even more importance over the next few days as we move towards the Lunar Eclipse-Aug7th.
Although, Moon and Mercury do not make a connection today, the conundrum between the two may be felt/ experienced. Our Archer's Moon says,'Be bold and big. Mercury is Virgo cautions with,' Be careful. What if you get it wrong!"
Listen to the Moon! She is more powerful now as we move towards a Lunar Eclipse-Aug.7th
