Cosmic Weather Forecast

Do You Control Your Emotions Or Do Your Emotions Control You?

June 13, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

One of the first ideas you learn in Kabbalah is to question everything. This is an alien concept to most religious systems (and I include many metaphysical systems in this category as well), which tend to learn towards blind faith and complete adherence to a perceived “higher” authority. Kabbalists take concepts out of the practical realm, and attempt to understand its meaning with broader strokes in order to then reapply the “gleamed” knowledge in a concrete and more applicable manner. Astrologically, I attempt to do the same thing – understand the deeper meaning of an astrological aspect so we can apply it to our lives in a practical way.

Now let me introduce you to a new feature that will occur with the Cosmic Weather Forecast, which will allow us to incorporate these ideas, which will be called “Tarot Tune-Up”. This will allow you (the reader) to actively participate in the Cosmic Weather Forecast in order to understand how the energies directly apply to you and your circumstances. Understanding our circumstances give us the power to make proactive meaningful changes in our lives, rather than being reactive to the energetic forces around us. After all, the stars impel they do not compel.

On Monday, the Moon continues to move through emotional Scorpio. The Scorpio Moon is intense, intuitive, and understands the deep emotional underpinnings of the motives and intentions of others. However, despite the Scorpio Moon’s need for emotional closeness (which is a necessity for all water sign moons), the fear of being emotional dependent or vulnerable to others prevents true intimacy. We could find ourselves today caught up in circumstances where we attempt to understand the intentions of those that are around us. However, we need to understand that “behaviors” and “motivations” are often the result of much broader circumstances than what appears on the surface.

The last aspect that the Moon will make before turning void of course (1:43 PM EDT) will be an opposition to Mars. Mars is the planet that allows us to go out into the world and get what we want out of life. In essence, he is the warrior planet of the Sun. However, when he gets entangled with the emotional Moon we tend to feel like we are on an emotional roller-coaster, and often we feel angry with our current circumstances. Avoid getting entangled in situations where your emotions control you, rather than you controlling your emotions. The Moon will remain void of course until late evening when it will move into Sagittarius.

Tarot Tune-Up: Using the tarot (you can modify this for any system you may use) pull two cards ask the following questions. How can I better control my emotions? How do I prevent my emotions from controlling me?

Let me know what you pull!

Did You Learn Your Saturn Retrograde Lesson?

Cosmic Weather Forecast: June 12, 2011

The key astrological weather planet for Sunday is the planet Saturn as it changes directions in the sign of Libra. Saturn rules structures, boundaries, limitations, and creates rules and regulations in order for us to exist in a sophisticated (the definition of sophisticated can be questioned) modern society. Since January 26, 2011 Saturn has been in retrograde motion which has cautioned us against making sudden changes in our lives, our businesses, or relationships. The retrograde cycle instructions us to be more reflective in order to take practical steps towards long term goals and ambitions. However, we often tend to be very reactive during this cycle because Saturn tends to bring to the surface our fears, insecurities, and our preconceived inadequacies. We tend to notice what is wrong with our lives, before acknowledging what is right.

The great thing that occurs during Saturn retrograde is that Saturn provides us with the opportunity to revamp the areas of our lives that are not functioning the way we would like, and he brings forth the flaws in our current structure. For example, if you are in a relationship that feels stymied, then Saturn retrograde will show you why you currently feel stuck and provide you with lessons that allow you to get the relationship moving again. So, as difficult as Saturn retrograde may be, it provides us with the capability to make substantial and enduring changes that provide us with a more structured life.

Look over the period of the last six months. What areas of your life have been difficult? Have any situations, circumstances, or lessons been reoccurring? If so, you are provided with a proactive opportunity to learn from these experiences and create a more sound and tangible path to follow in the future. It gets easier from here!

In other astrological news, the Sun will conjoin with Mercury in communicative Gemini, and Venus in Gemini sextile Uranus in Aries. It is a great day to reach out to friends, learn something new, or just simply be innovative. It’s time to take a risk and jump out of your comfort zone and try something new.

Have a great Sunday!

The moon this week begins in the sign of Pisces, where we will notice a bit of confusion, possibly low energy, and the need to relax and enjoy. As the last sign of the zodiac, Pisces involves winding things down – and our focus moves to our place within the larger scheme of things. The rest of the week; however, should prove to be more energetic, and more self focused as the Moon moves into the personal signs of Aries and Taurus. Since, astrology is an instructive language now is the time for you to focus on you, and what you want and need out of your life.

The event of the week occurs on Monday as Jupiter the great benefic goes retrograde in the sign of Aquarius at 3:51 AM. Jupiter will remain retrograde until October 12^th. Frequent readers of this blog will remember that retrograde planets tend to work in an “inner” way. Since Jupiter is the planet of philosophy, higher understanding, luck, gambling, and expansion, when it goes retrograde so does its energy. Often times, this retrograde will create self doubt about our lives and our futures. We can use this time beneficially to explore new meanings for ourselves, and to figure out what really has meaning for us. Many times this can happen by events occurring in our lives, which get us to explore deeper meanings in our lives. In many ways, we are not being honest with where we are at the moment, and Jupiter being retrograde will force us to see areas where we may have blinded ourselves to reality.

Turn your eyes towards Wednesday as all the major planetary aspects occur on this day. The Sun in Gemini will trine Jupiter, Neptune, and Chiron in Aquarius which allows us to open up to our social groups and society in a manner that makes us feel more comfortable with ourselves. We may find ourselves more “alive” and shining brightly in social groups and situations, so schedule in some time with friends or your support groups, because you can find the day rather rewarding.

Also, the Sun on Wednesday will square Uranus. This aspect is tricky and tends to bring forth surprises especially on a global level. Circumstances and situations can change on a dime, and often when we are not looking. This aspect is similar to the “Tower” card in the Tarot, as it forces us to change our beliefs about things we believed to be real or true. Since this is a waxing square, past family problems which have slowly been building can erupt during this time. However, what remain are new ideas that are more innovative and defined.

Sunday should prove to be an interesting if not dramatic day, as the Moon in Leo goes void of course during the morning hours. The last aspect the Moon will make is the opposition to Neptune bringing forth conflicting emotions, withdrawal, lack motivational energy, and in many cases a lack of confidence. Often, the Moon in opposition to Neptune can bring forth moments of feeling blue, nostalgic, and oversensitive to the feelings, thoughts, and actions of others. With this in mind, we can use the energy of Neptune to tap into our spiritual lives, our need to connect to a source higher than ourselves, and an attempt to understand ourselves and our own character defends on a deeper level.

On a more positive note, the Moon will move into Virgo during the evening hours. The Moon in Virgo expresses itself in a refined, controlled, and serious way. Since the only aspect made will be the conjunction to dwarf planet Ceres we have the ability to comfort ourselves and listen to our inner and outer needs, and we can act upon what needs to be nurtured in our lives.

Seven Day Forecast:

4/7: Mercury sextile Neptune
4/9: Mercury In Taurus
4/9: Full Moon @ 19 Libra
4/10: Sun Sextile Jupiter
4/11: Mercury trine Pluto
4/11: Venus Retrograde into Pisces

Cosmic Weather Forecast – March 2, 2009

As most of us wake up on Monday, the current financial crisis begins to spread further than the borders of the United States and begins to spread worldwide. This is far from surprising with the current transit of the Moon through financial Taurus. The focus as we begin the work week will be on working hard and building structures. Companies will be focusing on productivity, and individuals will be focused on security and for some that could mean job security.

Now, before you become worried that this blog post is a rehashing diatribe of the current financial crisis, the purpose was to describe how the Moon operated when it is in Taurus. We can use this energy to be more productive, and take the time to focus on your own financial goals and create a plan to weather the crisis in a productive nature. This is amplified by yesterdays Mercury/Mars conjunction, which is a good aspect for starting projects and initiating plans.

The Moon will go void of course at 5:43PM EST, and its last aspect is a square (obstacles) to Neptune. You could find yourself feeling insecure and frustrated as we move into the evening hours. Take the time this evening to focus on more positive dimensions of Neptune, which could include meditation, yoga, or connecting to your idea of the divine.

New Series: Cosmic Weather Forecast!

Several years ago I was approached during a lecture series I was giving on astrology about horoscope columns cheap essay writing services in magazine and newspapers. She was discouraged by the general information she received from them, and was under the impression that was all there was to astrology. The young lady scheduled a consultation with me, and the two of us sat down to analyze her natal horoscope. She was amazed at the information she was given, and decided to study astrology on her own. I was not surprised by her interested in astrology, because she had Uranus conjoined to her ascendant, which is one of the classic signatures of an astrologer.

For years, I have struggled with the prospect of making astrology more mainstream and understandable. We have made enormous progress in the industry, but still astrology remains the unwanted stepchild of the arcane sciences. Why? Perhaps this is one of the manifestations of Pluto transit through Sagittarius or perhaps the mutual reception of Uranus and Neptune, both of which are grasping for the perfect vision (Uranus in Pisces) of group idealisms (Neptune in Aquarius). In a struggling world we often seek the divine and those who speak a “spiritual language” to help assuage our angst and disappointments with life.

Pluto (planet of death, transformation, and regeneration) has now moved out of visionary Sagittarius, and entered into structured Capricorn, and I already sense a change. More people are consulting me about the “why” rather than the “when”. The hurting, lonely, angry, and tired are now seeking solutions rather than band-aids. Many are seeking “practical” (Capricorn) tools of transformation (Pluto) that will facilitate permanent change.

One of the tolls we can use to create permanent change is attempting to understand the patterns at work in the universe at the current time. Although understanding universal patterns is not mutually exclusive of astrology, the cosmic science does provide a vast wealth of information if we can utilize it. Astrology can provide us with a “plan” that we can utilize to make better choices, and to assist us in making better decisions to navigate through the storms in our life. Out of the desire to assist others understand the energies available, I have decided to create the “Cosmic Weather Forecast”.

Every day, you will be able to check the energies that are available to you. You can use this energy, for self understanding by comparing the current transits (daily movements of the planets) to your natal horoscope. If you do not have a natal horoscope, you can simply email me your birthday (date, time, and place of birth) and I will get you a copy. You can learn valuable information about your chart by using the internet spirit guide available to everyone – his name is Google! I believe that you will find “astrology” as fascinating as I do – and what do you have to lose? Now, on with your forecast.
