Sun in Virgo-Moon in Aries

September 13, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

The combination of the Sun in Virgo and Moon in Aries is interesting because the two signs really have nothing in common. Virgo likes everything structured, orderly, and understated; whereas Aries is enthusiastic, assertive, and tempestuous. So, on Tuesday, we may feel like we are emotionally on edge and anxious to move on to the next thing, yet Virgo requires us to be detail oriented and thorough. Since the Moon and Mars are in mutual reception (fancy term for each other’s signs), we may need to take extra caution or later in the week we may have to redo things to Virgoan standards.

Astro-tidbit: Anytime two planets are in each other’s signs it is called a mutual reception. Mutual receptions allow the planets to change places in the zodiac. In this case, it would place the Moon at 27 Cancer and Mars will be located through the first several degrees of Aries since the Moon moves very quickly.

The Moon makes several aspects Tuesday including a conjunction with Uranus, a square to Pluto, and an inconjunct to Mercury. These are very frustrating aspects since they all indicate that emotionally we may feel like we are on a rollercoaster as the day progresses. My biggest advice for the day is to try not to react (will be hard with Mars’ influence) and just think things out before performing any immediate action. Make sure that whatever you choose is something you really want to do before moving forward.

In other astrological news, Venus will inconjunct Neptune late in the evening hours. This aspect is rather undermining because Neptune can make Venus very insecure about our relationships. If you find yourself questioning your relationships or worried about what your significant other thinks or feels about you try to ignore it at this time. Venus will soon move into Libra – the sign it rules – and you will begin to feel a little more emotionally secure on Wednesday.

Mercury in Virgo and How it Will Affect You..

September 9, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

Great News! For those that were overly frustrated (and according to my social media feed that was most of you) while Mercury spent a significant amount of the summer in dramatic Leo, you can breathe a sigh of relief. Today, Mercury will move out of shadow as it moves into the sign of Virgo for the 2^nd time this year. Mercury will remain in Virgo until September 25. Take advantage of the next 7 weeks because the next shadow period begins on November 5^th, and Mercury will go retrograde on Thanksgiving Day in Sagittarius.

Mercury is most at home in the sign of Virgo because it not only rules the sign but is exalted in Virgo as well. Mercury rules expression, communication, conversation, and the way we understand life. The next three weeks will be about analyzing and observing our circumstances especially regarding our jobs and daily habits, and ultimately making changes in our day to day life. Further, we will find a strong desire to be charitable and will have opportunities to be of service to those that need it. For those that wish to start an exercise plan or wish to put forth effort in leading a healthier life, Mercury in Virgo is one of the best times to do it.

There are a couple of things that we need to avoid during this transit. One is attempting to over-analyze a situation, which can lead us to being highly reactive and often we can get in a self-righteous and critical mind set. The other is to avoid excessive worry and fear based thoughts. When we allow fear and anxiety to rule this can ultimately lead to problems with the digestive and nervous systems.

How Mercury’s Transit through Virgo Will Affect Your Sign:
(Read for both your Sun and Ascendant signs)

Aries: Out of all the signs of the zodiac, this transit could prove to be not only frustrating for you but could lead to dramatic changes in your life. Try not to over analyze situations and circumstances and read more into them than what is really there. Try to stick to the facts, not to your emotions. Further, you will need to avoid being emotionally reactive during this time.

Taurus: Mercury is traveling through your solar 9^th house, so you will find that learning new things and attempting to understand the larger world will be your mission for the next 3 weeks. Spiritual thoughts and ideas will be highly important to you. If you have considered taking a course or a seminar, Mercury in Virgo will provide you with the focus to achieve your goals.

Gemini: Mercury is moving through your solar 10^th house. You will be inspired by lots of information about business, job, and career throughout September. Try to stick to one or two projects because when you have too much on your plate you tend to become bored with everything and nothing tends to get done.

Cancer: Communicating with friends and associates will be very important for you during this transit. You may be presented with opportunities that would not be ordinarily available by networking and linking in with your social scene. Avoid over thinking circumstances and situations which are beyond your control.

Leo: Mercury will transit through your 12^th house which will open the flood gates to your already creative nature. The 12^th house connects us to the larger collective unconscious and Mercury transiting through this house tells us to pay very close attention to your gut instincts and hunches. If you are inspired by an idea definitely go with it.

Virgo: Speaking your mind and communicating your needs will be important over the next 3 weeks. This is your time to stay focused on you and what you desire out of life. In addition, Mercury in your first house could prove to be very beneficial if you are starting a promotional campaign or any form of self-promotion. The natural sign of the 1^st house is Aries which will give you drive and determination to get what you want.

Libra: Chances for financial improvement will occur this month if you take advantage of the opportunities that are available to you. Rather than dismissing things or staying on the fence, you will need to be more aggressive and actually seize the moment. This may be difficult for you, but the rewards (if you can raise your sword to the cause) will be many.

Scorpio: Mercury in the third house will present you with a natural ability for you to communicate what you want. Since Mercury is the natural ruler of this house, you will find your mind will be very adept and your ability to process information will be at an all-time high. However avoid gossip at all costs because it could prove lethal if your “information” turns out to be wrong.

Sagittarius: Problems surrounding your home life may occur while Mercury is retrograde in your 4^th house which could prove to be frustrating. This includes everything from mechanical breakdowns, to housing repairs, and even arguing with other family members. This is a month where you should definitely pause before you react to anything as Mercury’s silver tongue could get you in trouble.

Capricorn: Mercury transiting your solar 5^th house will give you deep insight into yourself and your true desires. If you are currently single you could find someone of interest around you, or even start a new romantic encounter. This is a transit where luck is on your side, so if you want to take a risk now would be the time to do it.

Aquarius: The Sixth house is considered the house of health, jobs, service to others, and day to day activities. You will notice that one of these areas will be activated during this cycle. If you are experiencing problems in your work or career this could prove to be a rather difficult 3 weeks for you, but the good news is that things will improve dramatically when we move into October. An excellent way of relieving stress is working out or beginning an exercise program.

Pisces: Relationships will be your focus over the next 3 weeks as Mercury transits through your 7^th house. Since the 7^th house is the natural home of the sign of Libra, you may find communication to be a little stressed. This is a great time for you to reflect and analyze what you truly want and need out of your relationships, and attempt to convey this to your partner.

Tarot Tune-Up: Get out your tarot or oracle deck. Shuffle the cards thoroughly. Ask yourself the following question, “How best can I use the energy of the Mercury in Virgo transit in my life?” Draw a single card from the deck.

I drew the Ace of Wands: During the Mercury in Virgo transit, I should focus on new opportunities and new projects that are presented to me. It’s a great time to start something new.

Mercury in Leo oppose Neptune in Aquarius

September 8, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

On Thursday, clouds of confusion will be the major astrological weather maker as Mercury in Leo opposes Neptune in Aquarius. This can be difficult for more cerebral types who may find it very challenging to stay focused and centered throughout the day. Pay very close attention to your conversations and what is being communicated to you as it will be easy to misconstrue others peoples words and intentions. On a more positive note, it is a great day to meditate, due spiritual based activities, or artistic and creative endeavors.

On the lunar front, the Moon moves into network oriented Aquarius changing our focus from business concerns to our friends, associates, and group activities. In the morning hours, the Moon will sextile Uranus which could manifest as a surprising turn of events or positive communications that you could directly benefit from. Whenever Uranus is involved, expect the unexpected! The Moon will remain in Aquarius until Saturday afternoon.

Tarot Tune-Up: Get out your oracle or tarot deck. Shuffle your cards. Ask yourself the following question, “What is the most beneficial way for me to work with the Mercury-Neptune energy today?” Pick a card from the deck.

I pulled the Ace of Cups: Pay close attention to my creative ideas today. Some new project that requires emotional connection or intuition may be on the horizon.

Sun in Virgo – Moon in Capricorn

September 6, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

On Monday, the moon will move out of fun and boisterous Sagittarius, and into practical and reliable Capricorn. For our fiery friends (Leo, Sagittarius, and Aries) this is a real downer because the Labor Day holiday has provided you with a break in the monotony of everyday life. However, reality calls and it’s back to business as usual.

While the Moon is in Capricorn there will be no planetary aspects so we may notice shifts and changes in our moods especially on Tuesday when the Moon will square Uranus and conjoin with Pluto. On Wednesday, the Moon will trine Venus providing us with many opportunities to be social. However, towards the end of the day avoid reacting emotionally as the Moon will oppose smoldering Mars in Cancer which could lead to arguments and disagreements.

On the business front, the Moon in Capricorn can be beneficial. During this month transit we can take the reins and move ourselves closer to our goals, organize situations that have become out of control, and set down regulations and guidelines that will provide us a stronger foundation for our future. However, on Tuesday avoid speculations or stock trading until late afternoon when the Moon will trine Jupiter in money oriented Taurus.

It’s Time To Lend a Helping Hand

September 2, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

The tragedy and devastation that occurred with Hurricane Irene has crippled much of the Northeastern United States. After having email exchanges with several friends whom are currently paralyzed by the storm; it appears that there is no end in sight. Many are still without power and running water with no estimation date to when their utilities will be restored. It has truly been an awakening for those that believed a Category 1 Hurricane would be nothing for the Northeast to bear – when it actually could come close to rivaling Hurricane Katrina in estimated damage costs.

As an astrologer, it has been very difficult to watch. Since I do know enough astrometeorology to be dangerous, I have written several times about an East Coast Hurricane occurring around the time of the grand square in August. We are not out of the woods yet, it is possible for another major storm to strike the United States in the month of September.

On a much more positive note, this weekend could prove to be the beginning of relief for the storm ravaged areas on the East Coast. The Sun in Virgo (help and service to others) will make a trine to Jupiter in Taurus. This is a great aspect for lending a helping hand, as well becoming more optimistic about the future. For those suffering through the hardship of the storm, this could prove to be comforting. For those not affected by the storm, Sun trine Jupiter will provide you with self-confidence, hopefulness, optimism, and you will feel that luck is on your side. However, be careful not to be self-indulgent and self-righteous. If you get a chance to lend a hand to others take advantage of the good karma points this will provide. You may need to spend them later!

Over the Labor Day weekend, the Moon will move through Scorpio until Saturday evening when it will transition into Sagittarius. The Moon in Scorpio can make us feel very intense, and since the majority of the aspects on Saturday are difficult we could find ourselves feeling anxious (Mercury) and a bit off-center (Neptune). It will be imperative that we think things out before reacting to them, because things may not be as they seem and we will find our emotions running wild.

On Saturday evening, The Moon will move into Sagittarius and we will notice a huge change in the energy. Sagittarius is known for its ability to have fun so take advantage of that energy while it is available. The aspects of the Sagittarian Moon on Labor Day are very positive so make sure you take a day to relax, recharge your batteries, and celebrate your accomplishments of the past year.

Tarot Tune-Up: Get out your tarot or oracle decks. Shuffle the Cards. Ask yourself the following question, “What can I do to be a blessing to others?” Draw a card out of the deck. What card did you draw? Let me know in the comments below.

Beyonce Is Pregnant

August 30, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

The MTV Music awards have made an American tradition out of shock and awe. On Sunday evening, everyone expected that shock and awe to come from opening act Lady Gaga. True to form, Gaga was shocking performing her single, “You and I,” as her alter ego Jo Calderone and attempting to kiss Britney Spears while presenting her with the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award. However, much to everyone’s surprise the nights shocking moment was from Beyoncé who revealed she was pregnant with her first child — simply by holding her baby bump on the red carpet.

One of Beyoncé’s publicists later confirmed the “Baby Boy” singer’s pregnancy to the Associated Press.

This is not the first time at the rodeo for the 24 hour celebrity press to jump on the Beyoncé pregnancy bandwagon. In March 2010, rumors surfaced of a pregnancy that was later denied by Beyoncé’s publicist. Later, unnamed sources claimed that Beyoncé had miscarried – which I did not psychically feel. In November, another pregnancy rumor surfaced that was denied by Beyoncé’s mother, Tina Knowles.

All The News That’s Fit to Predict:

Let’s find out the future of Beyoncé’s pregnancy.

I cast a horary (the moment of a question) for the moment I realized (this was before it was confirmed by the AP, and was not just a

publicity stunt) that Beyoncé was pregnant. Beyonce is represented by the first house of the chart with fiery Aries rising, which describes Beyonce’s personality perfectly. The ruler of Aries, Mars is in mother oriented sign of Cancer, and in the fourth house of family. Further, the Moon is located in the fifth house of children. The chart confirmed that Beyoncé was indeed pregnant.

Beyoncé’s health is ruled by Mercury – the ruler of her 6^th house. Mercury is in Leo, but in mutual reception with the Sun. Beyoncé’s health is stable and it appears that she will have a very productive relationship with her doctor and a supportive husband during her pregnancy. This is indicated by Venus being the ruler of the 7^th house which rules both the doctor and Jay-Z.

The only warning in this chart is Saturn which is in the 6^th house and ruler of the 10^th house career. Beyoncé will have to take time off and relax during the pregnancy despite her high standard of work ethic. Since Saturn rules bones and skin, Beyoncé could find her back being more strained than normal during the pregnancy. Overall, her pregnancy looks like it will go forward with minimal risks.

What will the baby be?

I pulled a tarot card to find out about the sex of the baby. The card is the Queen of Wands. All indications are that the child will be a girl.

I wish Beyoncé a relaxing and stress free pregnancy.
