Mercury Retrograde Jan 21-Feb11 2015

From this weeks column: The first Mercury Retrograde cycle of the year begins this week on Wednesday in Aquarius that causes an extended stay of Mercury there, and as well adds greater emphasis of everything Aquarian. Even though Venus is moving quickly to enter Pisces it is right now also in Aquarius and on Tuesday the Sun enters this altruistic sign that makes...

Edgar Allen Poe's Birthday

MONDAY .. JANUARY 19, 2015 .. CAPRICORN MOON & SUN ♑
 

Unusual angles today between Venus & Jupiter, Mars & Neptune. Not the best for commitments of love or seeking fulfillment of desires. In addition, the Moon is Void of Course (no energy) until tomorrow. Good day for dreaming and meditation. ★Capricorn birthdays: Dolly Parton; Janis Joplin; Paula Deen; Cezanne; Robt E Lee; Tippi Hedren

ABOUT THE INTERVIEW (MOVIE) & the AQUARIAN MOON

ABOUT THE INTERVIEW (MOVIE) & the AQUARIAN MOON
Mercury conjunct Pluto in Capricorn has brought out Sony's decision to release their movie, The Interview, across a number of distribution formats. Fortunately it’s recognized that the controversy isn't about the movie but about freedom of speech and acts of extortion and blackmail. North Korea will receive a hard angle from Saturn to their Virgo Sun and Saturn will be sitting on its Moon in Sagittarius, both placements causing actions to reflect back. As well, Kim Jong Un is Capricorn with his Moon in Scorpio. Pluto currently hovers over his Sun that creates either a strong urge for ultimate truth or a compulsion to be in control. He has always displayed a need to be revered at any cost. There’s debate about the year of his birth with a consensus of 1983 though some report 1984. Sony is Taurus with its Moon, Mars and Neptune in Leo. Significant is The Interview release has been announced under the Capricorn Sun and Aquarius Moon, plus the intense angle of stark truth and profoundness, Mercury conjunct Pluto. Mercury square Uranus is the other influence that is the turnaround and sudden announcement. In this week’s column I talk about Mercury’s impact right now of the power of words and communication. There is comfort in knowing how the majority of the US are seeing the truth and once again when assault happens, unify. It’s under this Aquarian Moon that we are one with our intention to support our constitutional rights.

…NOVEMBER 1 - ALL SAINTS DAY...

This is All Saints Day when those declared saints are honored. There are stringent requirements to become a saint that includes having performed miracles. While not Catholic I have studied the religion and note some very interesting things within it, such as the extensive astrology library and that there is a realization that there is the reality of haunted houses and people as well as healing. The many saints are all ascribed to their “specialties” and gifts such as St Francis of Assisi as patron of animals. Reminds me a bit of paganism where there are Gods and Goddesses for so many different areas of life. Not that either would probably recognize one another but still, there they are. It seems to me that all the help and goodness from all of them is worth recognition.

August 04-August 10, 2014

The Sun is moving to form 3 major angles late this week to Mercury, Uranus, and Saturn. As well, Mars trine Neptune Thursday creates intrigue; on Friday Mercury trine Uranus helps communication. All this is unfolding as the lunar tide rises to a Full “Super” Moon in Aquarius Sunday. The week began with the Moon and Saturn Occult making a bit of emotional intensity that will continue. Energy rises, people feel compelled to react, sometimes overreact, and overall the concept of discernment holds significance.

Today and tomorrow the Sagittarius Moon provides an easygoing time or eases what is going on in the mind. Lunar angles to the planets bring in the reality that there are answers out there, or in there, here and just around the corner. In the bigger scheme of embracing awareness the overall weekly pattern leading to the Aquarius Super Moon on Sunday is that it just may be easier now to see the importance of finding commonality and where one may connect so that positivity and peace grows. To find a common bond with others of like mind settles a lot of energy rather than the “me versus thee” attitude. To think there is strength in division is an old way of thinking just as Newtonian physics are not quite the reality of today. The more there are on the same wave that is helpful, loving and positive the greater that kind of spirit fills this dimension. To promote something in positive ways allows peace, while to promote something through negative means damages the very thing being honored.

Meteor activity increases as Earth plunges deeper into the debris stream of Comet Swift-Tuttle, the annual Perseid meteor shower. Last night NASA cameras recorded more than a dozen Perseid fireballs along with one sporadic bolide (exploding meteor) that might have dropped pieces of itself over the southeastern USA.

Happy Neptuna'lia Day - July 23rd

Happy Neptuna’lia Day! Celebration of the Roman God Neptune. In astrology Neptune governs Pisces and is the 8^th planet in our solar system that sometimes has a lopsided orbit rather than in a direct line with the others. Right now it’s transiting its own home sign so well placed. Neptune governs the oceans, and not surprising Florida, the film industry, higher creativity of arts, mesmerism, telepathy and the spirit realm so spirit communication (mediumship) falls under its domain. As with all planets there are hundreds of things that fall under its domain. The symbol is a trident seen in depictions of the God. In Greek mythology his correlation is Poseidon.
