Sun in Capricorn conjunct Venus in Capricorn at 7:24 AM EST / 4:24 AM PST

Earlier this morning, we had the lovely aspect of Venus retrograde sextile Saturn which has given us an ability to communicate effectively in relationships in order for us to get our relationships moving in the right direction. Now, the Sun is going to conjoin with Venus which is going to put a little sparkly glitter on your already frosted cake.

In horary astrology, one of the aspects that is considered a marriage aspect is Sun conjunct Venus. Additionally, when progressed Venus aspects the Sun or the progressed Sun aspects Venus, significant relationships often occur – relationships that often lead to marriage.

But, why?

The Sun and Venus are both solar planets. The Sun makes us aware of our destiny and its job is to shine. Venus is the relationship planet; she gives us our ability to seek out relationships with others and makes us feel desirable. When these two planets get together, everything just looks better, is more enjoyable, and we put forth our most attractive face. The conjunction of the Sun and Venus allows us to “sell our personal wares” to others, and the energy makes them more receptive to purchase our “goods”. If you are currently single, this is a great time to seek out relationships — go out and socialize and get your freak on! If you are currently in a relationship, this is a great day to just enjoy your significant other by giving them the best present they can get – YOU!

Venus Sextile Saturn — Today’s Astrology — January 11, 2014

Venus in Capricorn sextiles Saturn in Scorpio at 5:44 AM EST / 2:44 AM PST

Grab your charts. If you need a copy of yours, you can get one for free at my website. If you have any planets around 19-23 degrees of Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio, Capricorn, or Pisces this forecast’s energies will be more significant for you.

Relationships are messy. They can bring us a level of happiness that we cannot find anywhere else, and they can bring us more misery than many of us care to handle. Relationships can cause the greatest amount of laughter or they can provoke a flood of the most painful tears.

Over the past 25 years as a reader (both astrologically and psychically), the largest lesson that I have learned from my clients is our difficulty understanding the mysterious other in relationships. In many ways, we have a fantasy that everyone that we have emotional feelings for has the same desires we have. This is simply not so! The problem in our relationships is that we have been programmed (through television, magazines, and our social milieu) to believe that we are all seeking the same things in relationships, and as a result we get so caught up in our “physical desires” that we fail to even ask questions that might help us make adequate decisions about relationships. On countless occasions, I have had to tell clients that the problems in relationships is that we tend to believe everyone thinks like we do, and as a result we end up emotional devastated, hurt, and upset when our romantic visions do not materialize the way we would like them to.

On January 11, Venus retrograde in Capricorn sextiles Saturn in Scorpio. This is a very opportunistic aspect to get your relationships headed in the right direction. Saturn likes realism and Venus retrograde provides us the ability to have inner insight into our true needs out relationships. This is a great day for you to do some inner work and ask yourself, “What do I REALLY want and need out of a relationship?” Once you have figured out what you want and need you can then seek out compatible individuals who share the same mindset, if you are single. If you are currently in a relationship, this is a great time for you to sit down with your partner and explore what both of you want out of the relationship and get on the same page with a plan on how to move the relationship forward. This is a great day for great things to happen in relationships – don’t let it pass you by.

Mars Square Jupiter — Today’s Astrology — January 8, 2014

January 3, 2014 by admin Leave a Comment

Mars in Libra squares Jupiter in Cancer Rx at 5:36 PM EST / 2:26 PM PST

Grab your charts. If you need a copy of yours, you can get one for free at my website. If you have any planets around 12-18 degrees of Aries, Cancer, Libra, or Capricorn this forecast’s energies will be more significant for you.

Whenever two fire planets (Mars is the ruler of Ares, Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius) aspect each other, you can expect an abundance of energy regardless of what the aspect is – especially if Jupiter is involved. Fire planets make us feel alive, inspired, and prompt us to look at the potential future with optimism. Usually, there is a flurry of activity in regards to the ‘outer world’ – career, work, travel, etc.., but with Jupiter being retrograde it is the inner world that is activated.

So, what is this inner world?

The inner world is the real you. It is the part of us that is authentically ourselves, without the masks we use in order to navigate through the physical world. It is the side of you that is behind closed doors that only a few people get to see. The inner world is all about our true nature stripped to the bare bones without all of the outer illusions that are so often projected upon us.

On January 8, 2014, Mars in Libra will square Jupiter in Cancer. This aspect offers enormous optimism and incredible energy for success at anything you put your mind to as long as you control the energy and take the time and patience to let things manifest. The difficulty that comes out of this aspect, is when we want things to happen instantly and react to situations and circumstances in an impulsive manner. This is a great aspect to begin to act (Mars) on future projects. Mars and Jupiter provide plenty of fire and stimulus to get any project moving and off the ground. Further, if you do any form of intention work, this is a great time for you to set your intentions into the universe.

The only warning with this aspect is overextending yourself or using up to much energy. This could lead to potential difficulties down the road or unforeseen setbacks.

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.

What card did you pull?
