And away we go with the Libra Full Moon to wind down the month. This is often called the Egg Moon


representing growth and fertility. Spring has sprung and across the Northern Hemisphere life is renewed. In Libra, the Moon suggests seeing other perspectives and for some it’s about relationships both personal and business that may need tending. Within, it’s your feelings and perspectives pulled forward to think about. Finding balance within can be a strong avenue to take to strengthen your spirit and maintain an objective perspective. Centering is important to recognize – where and how needed.

Astrology Brief for March 11-17, 2024 from Sandra Helton©

The shadow of the Moon brings with it the powerful energy of the earth as it swings forward into the Aries constellation on Tuesday. It’s a day when the Northern Hemisphere begins spring and life is renewed. Many plan elaborate events to honor the planet while other go into sacred repose for the same reason. The world of nature is doing all it can to survive the onslaught of humans.

There’s still a lot of edgy energy flowing in from the Moon opposite Pluto and opposing Mars that has brought unsettling rays ranging from mishaps to misalignments with others. This is a week to consider going within and finding truths, in their raw element that will help align better for the rest of the year. Reality is taking on a new strength.

Astrology Brief for February 5-11, 2024 from Sandra Helton©

 

Energy continues to build for the Solar Eclipse that will streak across the United States on April 8. While the eclipse is in Aries it’s also very Aquarian due to current transits that are part of the influence. This week Mercury moves into Aquarius with soon to transit there also Venus and Mars that activates Pluto already there and part of this era creating major societal shifts not just in the US but across the world. This is part of an overall pattern not always observed or realized, but due to years of experience and research it’s my conclusion that the already unusual actions and behaviors will continue and also again shift.

There are speculations that the current state of the world is due to reaction to the pandemic though the pandemic too is part of a pattern though isn’t exactly it. Without the pandemic the Age of Aquarius and the multiple celestial influences plus Pluto are the root of actions. This week is an ongoing prelude of the eclipse. While many feel much is dire, there are positive elements to be gleaned and worked with for positive individual outcomes. Right now is one such pattern through Aries where you may begin to weave your own objectives and lifestyle.

Mercury and Pluto conjunct in Aquarius on Monday is active now that presents numerous stark realities and truths you may look to for answers and to be more in the know for ways to manage.

Tuesday brings Venus sextile Neptune that is ideal for creativity and exercising your deepest abilities. There can be unusual harmony and connections with others that seem divinely guided. Pay attention to your instinct and inclinations that may be telling your something special about yourself or someone else. There can be romance and fanciful inclinations.

Mars sextile Neptune on Wednesday is unusual in that it could produce desires that are not your usual inclinations and ideas. You’re encouraged to think outside the box and pay attention to where you’re drawn. This is a time when you can accomplish much in an ideal fashion. You may learn much about yourself and what makes you tick.

The Sun square Uranus on Thursday challenges the status quo and pulls you toward the different and unusual which may not be the best direction so remain an observer. Chaos and fragmentation can easily take hold and throw you into unknown territory. Take a conservative approach with any involvements.

Friday’s New Moon in Aquarius coincides with Mercury square Jupiter on Saturday that suggests you work on ideas and plans and your intentions with a moderate approach to beginnings so you don’t go too far or move too fast that could end with diminishing returns or loss. The New Moon launches a two week cycle to ponder and think about what you want to do and where you want to go. A step at a time is best rather than taking a speculative leap. Planning is the best forte right now.

Astrology Brief for January 29-February 4, 2024 from Sandra Helto

 

This is an interesting week as we roll into February that brings numerous types of holidays and also a leap day, February 29 that occurs once every four years to adjust the calendar timeline. February 10 is the Lunar New Year of the Wood Dragon followed by Mardi Gras on February 13 and Valentine’s Day February 14. One way or the other millions of people will be celebrating various aspects of culture and beliefs setting a pace as we move toward spring and continue to forge ahead into the year. So many around the world feel duress and anguish about the future and yet strive to keep moving forward as best as possible. Celestially a part of this intensity is due to the newness of Pluto in Aquarius that adds pressure on the status quo to in some way uproot and/or change. Being stuck in economic circumstances leaves many blank as to how to make changes when against the wall financially and otherwise. Aquarius affects all, being a global influence and especially so regarding society which is why in part social media is important to so many and also the intensity of news outlets making so many twists and turns that too many are left with confusion and greatly in need of clarity and reason. Saturn, which is structure and foundation, is current in Pisces that can add shade to everything calling for the need to exercise discernment and stretch to think intuitively in seeking truth. Faith that is Pisces ruled is greatly called for now that’s obscured by Saturn plus Pluto in Aquarius. Life isn’t simple or clear and when economic and social shifts occur which they are now people are tossed around on a long road like a high wind pushing everyone. It’s as if there was an unexpected turn leading to suddenly being in a demolition derby. Many haven’t gotten their sea legs from the pandemic that’s been a struggle due to worry of another onslaught of lockdown. Pandemics fall under the rulership of Neptune and Saturn in Neptune specifically rules that. Saturn will be in Pisces overall until 2026 – more about that in an upcoming article. For now, you’re between that and Pluto which explain the literal and sense of dire straits.

Taking a day at a time, and here a week at a time, beginning Monday Mars trine Uranus is great for garnering energy to get moving and take the initiative. Being innovative can work well so paying attention to inspiration and ideas can be rewarding. This is great for setting a pace relating to a goal.

Mercury sextile Neptune this Friday lends insight and depth to everything as well as increasing creativity. The imagination is strong and being able to perceive energy around you is easy. This is a nice time to tap into your inner thoughts and feelings for intuitive information.

On-going energy:

Venus enters Capricorn today where it will be until February 16 that benefits businesses, corporations and even nations and their leaders with greater harmony and an easier time. Comradery grows as people find common ground to bond and work together. Personal areas of life such as where you have closeness and love become more pragmatic; logic takes precedence. You can see your way to settle contention and regain peace and order for yourself.

Pluto now in Aquarius is a major influence and long haul of challenging the world at large to be more clearly defined ranging from sorting through individual stance to moving into herd mentality as the path of least resistance. Being your own person and thinking for yourself is the ideal though a greater push is unfolding to pull people into groups and specific lanes. Some will blame AI (artificial intelligence) which is ruled by Aquarius though that isn’t the true reality as it’s more about “influences” to positively align with like minds and also attempts to pull people into group agendas. Stepping back from that idea, thinking for yourself and exercising your wisdom will help you decide where you best align.

Mars is in Capricorn remains until February 13 providing tenacity and the ability to be thorough and persistent as needed. Major projects benefit from this reliable energy and you can build where you need from small tasks, beginning personal maintenance for health, exercise and where you want to build strength and stamina.

begin to wrap up everything so you moving under the rays of growth. The Leo Full Moon, sometime called the Wolf Moon, helps in numerous areas of life with the foundation being about your own strengths and abilities so fortifying your intentions work well.

Tidbit about dog food

 

Just in case someone doesn't know - plain canned pumpkin in dog food helps digestion - not the type with spices but plain. A spoon or so mixed in, depending on the size of the dog is worth checking into.

Astrology Brief for January 15-21, 2024 - Powerful Energy comes Home to Roost from Sandra Helton©


Already, before the actual date of the solar eclipse in April, the Sun is showing its power asit will throughout the year.

On Monday the Sun sextile Neptune enhances everyone’s intuition that resonates through the week with stronger awareness and creativity manifesting in a number of ways as artisans hatch new ideas and all seeing more clearly the unspoken word, the feelings and even for some sensing motivations of others. Society is plugged into the higher realm of Neptune. Dreams may be stronger along with your ability of psychic perception and tuning to the spirit realm.

Wednesday’s Quarter Moon in Aries is part of the trigger point of the upcoming solar eclipse that is a marker of energy directly active until the Full Moon in Leo on February 25. This is positively aligned with the celestial dynamics during the week making your efforts more likely to begin to grow and come to fruition. Ideas are very worth the time to consider.

Mercury sextile Saturn on Thursday helps to organize information and all forms of necessary work and also it’s easier to organize your mind. Plans and goals are easily put into place for action.

Mercury trine Jupiter on Friday is super! All forms of communication is bolstered in a good way so reaching out to others and declarations are strong and worth the effort. Mental capacity expands and thoughts grow making this great for visualization and taking action to improve your life. Connectedness is ever growing as is support of one another.

Saturday is a big day launching massive rays through the Sun entering Aquarius conjunct Pluto that carries forward throughout the year. Many will respond to this by settling within their own feelings and views about the world and many will dive deeper into already cultivated thoughts making more intense societal structures, both positive and challenging. There can be stronger definitions of where one stands as that can go either way depending on motivation. For some division increases and for others there’s more unity through greater definition and needs to align.

This next month while the Sun is in Aquarius people are more aware and sensitive to societal prodding and also more aware of individual needs to think about plans for the future. You may want to develop more alignment for your goals and strive to be more definitive of your beliefs and place in the world.

Pluto now in Aquarius is a major influence and long haul of challenging the world at large to be more clearly defined ranging from sorting through individual stance to moving into herd mentality as the path of least resistance. Being your own person and thinking for yourself is the ideal though a greater push is unfolding to pull people into groups and specific lanes. Some will blame AI (artificial intelligence) which is ruled by Aquarius though that isn’t the true reality as it’s more about “influences” to positively align with like minds and also attempts to pull people into group agendas.

The Fear of Journaling & Alternatives

 

Throughout 2023 the one outstanding aspect for “not” journaling was fear – fear of someone else reading ones innermost thoughts and feelings, fear of talking/writing about experiences and fear across the board about most everything relating to discovery of the true self and authentic feelings. So much truth being oppressed disables potential of every type and might even affect health. Interlopers eavesdropping and invading personal territory cause anguish and it’s that which holds people back from the great therapeutic value of writing out emotions and life experiences. There are solutions such as having an online journal registered in a private name. otherwise, for the brave and adventurous who’ve already begun the journey of expressing authenticity and for the new ones still contemplating it, here’s an alternate idea, not necessarily complete as verbal or written expression but expressive none the less which is including art, photos, quotes and anything that can be added. I have a journal that’s filled with handwritten quotes, sketches and other things like a simple word expressing an emotion, and I also have glued, stapled, and clipped small items. As well, I have envelopes in which I can add collections. Vellum envelopes are clear or frosty are unique. Should things appeal to you that are too big or cumbersome to fit you can collect them sill for your alter and photograph them to include in your journal. In one envelope I have a swatch fabric and I have photos of a collection of tea pots along with the odd and historic. Feathers, pressed flowers and even a packet of dirt from a well purported to have healing properties. Recipes and all manner of heartfelt keepsakes can be added as you’re inclined. Special days as birthdays and days of someone passing create very meaningful “treasure” books. The books can become inheritances for family history or given to a group or church, and especially for sacred circles as part of spiritual ancestry. It can be meaningful at some point to burn a journal to release its energy that will go into another dimension. History is up to you and your collection becomes your own artistic expression. The journals shouldn’t be burdens and can be once a year with a burning ritual as each year ends that releases the energy. People are known to participate in burning bowl rituals where they write what they want to shed. Journals should ideally give acknowledgement of relevance. Many inventors, artists and creators began with the simple process of jotting down their ideas thoughts.

Astrology Brief for January 8-14, 2024 from Sandra Helton© / Time to Get Moving

 

With Mercury now direct and the New Moon in Capricorn helps you to engage life andmanifest goals, setting a nice forward moving pace especially for the next two weeks.

Across the board Capricorn energy abounds that benefits cementing plans for the long-term and where you want to establish a more reliable lifestyle. A positive way to work with this is to consider your priorities so you can invest time in the best way. A guideline is like a map that may guide you toward success.

Mercury square Neptune on Monday can create confusion, deception and/or a strange veil cast over reason and logic. It’s best to take a conservative view and refrain from taking risks as it’s easy to be misled or become lost. Reality is too easily distorted.

The Sun trine Uranus Tuesday offers exuberance and enthusiasm that helps to venture more positively into the year. The sense of newness abounds that also encourages you to seek out anything unique and original so it’s good to notice those places and encounters that are out of the ordinary.

AFFIRMATION

These affirmations are composed based on current celestial placements. As a clinical hypnotherapist I’ve studied writing scripts so the composition is written with the intent to allow connecting with the heavens and expanding awareness to be more in harmony for the highest good. Taking a moment to be still and ideally in a quiet place, or even when going to sleep, the reading or speaking of these may be helpful and benefit your soul journey. Even just seeing it can be beneficial. 

“I move forward with enthusiasm and blessings.”
