TAURUS NEW MOON MAY 5^th @ 5:19 am PDT/ 8:19 am EDT/ 12:19 pm GMT

Let’s backtrack and look ahead at the same time. The most recent Full Moon April 20^th, occurred at  00 degrees of Scorpio. Sun was of course at  00 degrees of Taurus. The Next Full Moon occurring May 19-20 occurs at the very last “critical degree” of Scorpio-Taurus.

We have two successive Full Moons occurring in the same sign which doubles the cosmic emphasis on those Archetypes, namely letting go, death, rebirth, transformation,

Security/trust, power, resources, waste. Secrets. This is more powerful than a “Blue Moon.” More of a Green {Taurus} Black {Scorpio} Moon.

The April 20 Full Moon saw a new beginning - Zero degrees, new seeds being planted. That Full Moon also saw a Grand Trine between The Sun, Saturn Retrograde at 1 degree + of Virgo, and Pluto Retrograde at 1 degree plus of Capricorn. A very big earthy Grand Trine. Grand Trines allow mucho flow.

Pluto Retrograde energy allows us to review waste, in Capricorn practical garbage, from a Scorpio rulership position, psychological baggage and garbage. Saturn Retrograde and in Virgo forces us to get REAL and face our collective karma in relation to work, health being of service, and to what we have harvested. The Sun brings light, consciousness, awareness, action and will to all of these Retrogrades and a huge chance to get to clarity and to decide what is the most positive way to proceed.

Mercury is also in Taurus making for practical thinking about the present economic realities. There’s a lot of hands on, practical, head strong, deliberate sowing that needs to get done.

Venus the ruling Planet of Taurus is in Aries at 17 degrees plus, less than 1 degree past the last New Moon degree, pointing to our tastes, values and desire for new actions, to be daring and to take the initiative. Venus is in an approaching Square to Mars {exact April 23^rd at 21 degrees Aries-Cancer}. Mars, Venus’s counterpart and ruler of Aries and Scorpio, thus ruler of this Scorpio Full Moon at 19 degrees of Cancer, opposes Jupiter at 21 degrees of Capricorn and Venus, Mars and Jupiter form a Cardinal T- Square aspect, similar to the one formed during the last New Moon.

T- Squares are tense,demand action. In Cardinal signs there is a rush to do things new and differently. The planets of the Warrior God Mars, opposite Jupiter in Capricorn-Big Business, is being squared by Venus Goddess of Love, Beauty and Harmony. How about you do the math?.

A big week. 2 planets go home to their ruling signs Venus and Mercury. Planets are always at their best, strongest and most comfy when at home.  Some very nice trines this week.

“When the Moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie, that’s amore.”  That’s the best song that fits this Aquarian Lunar conjunction of Moon/Chiron/Neptune.  Old Dino was such a lounge rat pack philosopher. Namaste Dino

Chiron is the wounded healer and ouch a pizza pie in the face can really sting the eyeballs. Crusts are hard. Promises can be like pie crusts easily made and easily broken. So that pizza pie whap in the face can hurt/bring unusual awareness {Aquarius} and healing {Chiron}. So what about the amore part?

That’s where Neptune comes in. Neptune is the most spiritual of all the planets, the higher octave of Venus, Goddess of Love and Beauty. So just surrender, let Neptune pour his compassionate magical healing balm sauce to your salty wounds -HP sauce. {HP-stands for Higher Power}  and as everyone knows the only Higher Power is LOVE.

Ready,set go,almost there. Saturn goes Direct May 2^nd

Not Instant Karma- slo-o-w  karma

Slow karma’s gonna get ya,

Gonna get you on your knees,

Better get it together darlin’… to the tune of Instant Karma by John Lennon

Has it been a very hard, slow, tough, pay attenntion to all the details, deadlines, demands, more deadlines, tired, exhausted, too may things to do and not enough time in the day, more responsibilities than “usual”?  Need some freedom from all this bondage? I know that it’s tax season, the big annual crunchem, and it was a long hard winter in most of the North East, snow up to your eyeballs, but now that’s gone and you still feel tired, even though we’re almost at the midpoint of Spring and Summer coming May 1^st, Beltane.

Saturn is the Planet that rules all things physical, matter, the body, the world, old politicians, time, limitations, obstacles, corporations, karma, structures, the metal lead, bones, Patriarchy, fathers, building, career, maturity, seriosity etc. and it has been in retrograde motion in Virgo since last Dec 19, 2007. Saturn is the great tester, the headmaster in the school of hard knocks..

What this means is that Saturn’s apparent backwards motion,called RETROGRADE  since Dec. 07  has seen Time slow down, stalled any apparent forward motion, halted plans to build,  mounted high all of our responsibilities, time is a big issue, everything is heavy, leaden, making many of us feel exhausted. Things that happened last week seemed like they happened months ago, yet days are jam packed to the max, and most people are not feeling 100% groovy-groovy is not a word in Saturn’s lexicon-that’s Aquarian talk. In Ancient astrology rulerships Saturn rules both Capricorn and Aquarius-so there. So we’ve all been plodding along in quite the solid, serious, Capricornish compacted way all year. All right let’s get on with the show already!

We haven’t really touched down so to speak in 2008 yet or gotten the full reality slap in the face of what’s really going on. All those reality Tv shows are just metaphors for what we really need-a cold hard slap in the face to wake us up Don’t worry the cold water is soon to hit the fan!

All Retrograde planetary motion periods are RE-prefixes- like REst, REnew, RElease, Reality, REthink, Reflect, etc.

So if Saturn is testing your patience, just be patient a wee bit yet. Patience was invented by Saturn! Where Saturn is, and what it rules has been tested a lot. As Saturn will stop and finally turn direct on May 2nd these next few weeks brings almost everything to a virtual standstill. I am speaking metaphorically and metaphysically, but it feels like reality is so weighty now, that its trouncing out almost all other metaphysical reality now.

Saturn entred Virgo in Sept 2007, so he’s in his earthy element in Virgo the sign of the Goddess of the Harvest. Now Virgo is a very practical Feminine hard working sign, analytical, organized, perfectionist, hypochondriacal, devoted to serving others, loves nature and always gets the job done on time and on budget.

Saturn Rx -that is the Astrological symbol of Retrograde motion-exactly the same as a Prescription, which it is.

I interpret all retrograde motions of Planets as medicine, healing balm. As your reg. Dr. would say “take 2 and call me in the morning.” The Planets in Rx as Cosmic Doctoring say  -take this time period as medicine, as a prescription for what humanity needs according to the planet, and the sign for what ails us all.  Never mind  that there’s also a planet/comet/cosmic body called Chiron who is known as The Wounded Healer.

This Saturn Retrograde period is a RE-learning, a very real, very earthy, practical, hard working, and maturing, karmic lesson, we didn’t quite get yet. This is an opportunity to review, revise, rebuild, restructure, reset the timing of, re-do reality. We’re all cramming for the test of reality moving forwards soon, so we should’ve been taking this time period seriously. Or better hurry up and take it seriously, you’ve got 9 days to get it together. Saturn is always the final word.

Saturn in Virgo

Virgo could be personified, hmm, I suddenly got this cognization of personified with the name Persephone. That’s another story, but there must be a simile here, as Persephone was raped into the Underworld by Pluto-another Planet and God which was like a Retrograde phase for her while she was not visible, in the depths phsychologically speaking, maturing-

Back to Virgo, She is a Virgin Goddess,in it’s original meaning as owned by no man, whole and complete unto Herself, doing as She wishes, fulfilling her own needs. So Saturn in Virgo Rx. is teaching us a karmic lesson about this now, how to complete ourselves, become whole, nourish and feed and tend and harvest our Feminine, our Inner Goddess, everyone has one, both men and women. Psychologically, the Feminine, the Goddess, symbolizes the Soul. We need to embody ouselves. Get Real.

Saturn Retro and Big Business Hard Knocks

Saturn as ruler of Capricorn has hit big business and corporations hard! Lot’s of tumbling markets, loss of profits, banks losing billions in the US fake mortgage lending spree. Saturn rules earthy, practical CApricorn, and Saturn is also the Karmic Planet.  What you sow…

Saturn Retro & the U.S. Democratic Race

I would say that the Saturn Retro is definitely being seen in the Democratic Nominee process, it’s been slow, long, drawn out. Both candidates are being sorely tested. Hillary the elder stateslady is not giving up yet, she is not out of the race yet.

Saturn Retro in Virgo- FOOD shortages

Saturn is also teaching us karmic lessons of the Earth herself, as Goddess of the Harvest,  especially FOOD, this is a literal and a metaphorical harvest. Have you heard about the food shortages and food riots, in Haiti, Egypt and other parts of the World where food prices have climbed so fast many very poor people are literally eating the earth and that’s all they have. I just heard today that rice is being limited in its sales in the U.S. All of this was prophesized or predicted by Astrologers and psychics years ago.

ECO CRISIS

What with gas prices what they are-did you know it’s because the US is stockpiling crude oil? food prices will soar here soon. All Nature-Virgo’s domain will be hit with hard times, scarcity, lack, eco-crises, that is Saturn’s limiting nature whilst in Virgo. What we’ve sown in terms of wanton carelessness about the Earth we harvest now! And Saturn will be in Virgo till 2010.

As Saturn begins his forwrds motion, you will feel the shift, even ever so slightly. Saturn went Retro on Dec 19 at 8 degrees 34 minutes of Virgo. Yes, things will start to move forward motion but Saturn won’t pass that same degree until August the 8th! That means almost 8 months out of the year will have been spent doing “detention” or extra homework or you know what I mean. On 8 8 08 our earth densified consciousness will be able to finally move into new and unexplored territory for the first time this year.

For the meaning of 888 see the heading 888 here on my website

Saturn is the Karmic planet, where Saturn is there’s debt to pay. So what else is in the news? Saturn Retrograde all this time is simply you get back what you put out there, for every cause an effect, what you sow is what you reap. Saturn in the Virgo house of work is seen as big job and capital losses. Saturn in Virgo,the reaper in the Sign of the Harvest is a lot of Reaping!

Beneficial  RETRO-TRINE KARMIC ENERGY  April to May

SATURN + PLUTO BLESSINGS-

Saturn closely Trines Pluto now blending an easy energy between the Cosmic Cop and Lord of the Underworld. Trines are benevolent aspects highly harmonious. Because of their respective Retrograde motions Pluto and Saturn will be within 2 degrees of the trine from April 2^nd till May 2^nd.

Planets are more powerfull when moving in Retrograde motion.

This Retrograde Trine offers blessings to go over and over our past actions {karma} revisit and examine what we have done, built, created, how we identify ourselves collectively and individually and turn our past actions into dharma-good works.  Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn, he is called the final dispositor of Pluto while he is in Capricorn,so this TRINE has extra OOMPH to it as these energies are more harmonious and receptive.

In the Tarot CAPRICORN in the Trumps is Card # 15

THE DEVIL.

The devil as we popularly think of him was created by the Catholic Church who “demonized” pagans, midwife/ herbalists and projected their own very vile wicked, torturous shadows onto the innocent who refused to follow Christianity.

The Devil spelled backwards is lived, evil spelled backwards is live.

The Devil card as a teacher, warns against being trapped in matter, by it.

The wisdom of the devil is not to sell your Soul to your ego and think that there is only a material world . Be in the world but not trapped by its needs, contradictions, etc. Matter is the mirror of the spirit world, don’t forget where you originiate from. Ultimately the Devil offers freedom of choice, there is actual evil in the world, and it is what we do about that that counts. Don’t be tempted or taken over by evil entities. Through its association to Capricorn use your ambitions to rise higher, on the peaks of matter, for it is by our deeds, actions and non-actions which we manifest in this world that affects our Souls in the eternal.  

As Saturn represents mater and materiality, hard knocks, matter, discipline, time, limitations, obstacles, old age Saturn is all the karma of Form in this 3^rd dimensional world. Saturn in Virgo can be overly conscienscous, too critical, rigid, dogmatic, miserly.

Saturn in Virgo conserves the earth, disciplines health, organizes everything, details, analyses, helps us to focus on what to serve.

Pluto in Capricorn rules Big Business which it will slowly for better or worse restructure, demolish and rebuild. Saturn is Lord of Karma and hard work, rules Capricorn.  Pluto in the symbolic High Noon house asks us from our souls to find out where we want to shine brightest. Pluto as Lord of Death asks us to look at what our legacy is, as a culture, as humans at this particular place in time, as individuals, part of a collective.

So in this Retro grade grace period trine lets us also examine our beliefs about matter, the body, form, how attached we are to it, and to see experience and know that ultimately the material world of form our individual egos, and all the material goods that “matter” so much to us, are themselves only an illusion, in time, and that in itself is an illusion MAYA.

Pluto Lord of Souls can take us beyond it all, and help us to manifest more soulful ways of living at all levels.

Is your work right livlehood? That is, does it benefit people, is it harmless? Does it have no malignant or ruthless aspects to it? Is your work ultimately connected to nefarious people, companies, sharks?

I suppose all government, banks, police forces, big corporations, hospitals, pharmaceutical companies, paint manufacturers, supermarkets, clothing companies, energy corporations, record companies, toy manufacturers,real estate agents- in short, virtually almost every business comes under the wrong livlihood umbrella when examined back to its roots.  Let’s just try to be more aware and clean this up.

Let’s bend and stretch our imaginations the best and fastest vehicle to travel in beyond the illusion, go through the wall so to speak and in more ways than one and connect with what is “real.” Ultimately only our “souls” are real, our hearts.

We can all being forgive ourselves and others their past transgressions, never mind what you didn’t do, regret or feel guilty about.

Regenerate and restructure your life now, rebuild bridges, careers, especially career as Saturn is in the natural 6^th house of work and Pluto in Capricorn is the natural 10^th house of career and wordly standing. This applies to everyone.

TAURUS, VIRGO, CAPRICORN BENEFICIAL TRINE TIME

This RETRO-TRINE gives us easy access to review our life direction, wills, take accounting, reorganize at all levels for everyone.

ALL EARTH SIGNS are in a very strong powerfull period now and for years to come. You’re the guys who do all the hard work and build it all so go to it. But reflect now on what and how and why you’re building and manifesting so much.

Natal Sun is at 2 degrees of Taurus, that is if your born April 22 or April 23^rd I know a couple of people born these days, make sure you use this energy now. if you’re born Aug 24 or 25 early Virgos, or if you’re born at Xmas time, December 24 or 25^th you get the benefits exactly on your Suns..

SAGITTARIUS, ARIES, GEMINI, CANCER, LIBRA, PISCES

Conversely people born in early Aries and Libra are getting kicked in the butt right now from Pluto Squaring their Suns.

Cancer Suns gets the two way effect of the opposition from Pluto. Early Pisceans get the oppositional kick in the butt from Saturn. The Trine will soften the kick.

For Pisceans Saturn opposite your Sun is helping you to bring your dreams into the manifest world.

For Cancerians build that dream house, that long term relationship, great time to get pregnant have a child, settle down, get that security.

Early Gemini’s and Sagittarians get the Square from Saturn in Virgo. Gemini you need the slap in the face of reality to ground you, this’ll soften the blow. You’ll be glad after. It’ll be easier for you to slow down and think about things like your future, what you’re building in your life, your long term goals, develop a little patience and persistence. You need that, even though Gemini’s are the Archetype of Peter Pan, figure out how to have fun while working hard and building.  Finish what you start, make sure you do your taxes and maybe think about life insurance and long term security investments. See yourself at the top and make a plan or hire a coach to help you, ditch the disorganization, get rid of most of the distractions, vow to stop procrastinating, think about what lasts, settle down.

For the fire Sagittarius it’s good to slow down and get grounded about where you’re flying off to in your life. You need to actually manifest in 3D your wildest dreams. Follow up on tat book you were going to finish, get rid of the clutter, get into the gym, remember you do have a body, take care of it, check up on your investments, but some land for the future, get some credentials if you need them, start teaching what you know, take yourself seriously. You’ve always been ahead of the crowd, validate that.

For ARIES patience will help you finish the races you start. Put all your great ideas into one big project, plan, build it, it will happen, stick with it.

You won’t like it, it will feel inhibiting but give it a try. It’s all in your mind anyway. This is what you need, build more projects, businesses, tactics, skills. Clean up your yard. Settle down a bit.

For the air signs Librans who gets the Pluto Square, it’s time to take stock of yourself. Don’t ask anyone else what they think or how they’d do it, don’t worry about the latest trend and fashion, and don’t worry about being a social outcast or being –heavens forbid-single! Make friends with yourself,

Review everything that’s likable, nay lovable about you and feel good about that. Decide what you can build, your ideal career, the office furnishings, the dinner parties, the networking all of it.

Last but not least LEO SCORPIO AQUARIUS

What about those early Leos Aquarians and Scorpios, those fixed signs? You’re either being quincunxed by Pluto if you’re an early Leo and by Saturn in Virgo if an early Aquarian. A Quincunx is a 150 degree angle that is irritating and holding you back from taking your full power until you get the kinks out and the Trine will help you iron it all out. The elements do not talk to each other, fire and earth and air and earth don’t mix it up ya see.

Early Scorpios are getting the nice ‘n easy Sextile, no it’s not sexy enough for you Scorpio’s but it’s kind of a huggy cozy squeeze from both Saturn and Virgo, so don’t go obsessing about the deeper meaning of it all just use it. Nice ‘n easy aren’t two words which are usually on the tip of your tongue so this is a lesson in a new format for a change.

A BUSY WEEK MANY POWERFUL CHANGES &  NEW BEGINNINGS

PLUTO LORD OF THE UNDERWORLD had just barely dipped his toes into CAPRICORN testing the Saturn ruled BIG BIZ sign of Capricorn waters since Jan 25 08.

PLUTO now has an afterthought, he must have forgotten something back at the Galactic Center store- always open- and so he slowly Retrogrades back over those early and ZERO degrees of Capricorn considered to be the HIGH NOON for the World till June 14^th.  IT’s the stand off at the “Everything’s O.K. Corral”  Note to self- “It’s not. “

PLUTO’s force is powerful, psychological, atomic. The very stuff of matter in the Universe. Pluto recycles all waste. Pluto is extremism, obsession with power, reconstructs society.  Pluto rules the underground, sewers, cesspools, drains.  Pluto rules freedom from oppression either by an outside force or an inner one.  Pluto will manipulate to get its own needs met. It is non egoistic. It’s force can be used equally for good or ill. Remember that at 911 it was Pluto in Sagittarius opposed to Saturn in Gemini which created the impetus for the acting out of the destruction of  the World Trade Centers. Pluto is concerned with great loss for great gain. pLUTO resurrects lost causes into successful projects.

Pluto’s BREECH SHADOW REBIRTH BACK TO SAGITTARIUS

PLUTO rules over the collective unconscious, the shadow, the Soul. This is a breech rebirth of sorts back into SAGITTARIUS at those very “critical” last degrees, backing up to 28 degrees of SAGITTARIUS at the end of July and once again being within 1 degree of the Galactic Center till Sept 8^th when Pluto then turns direct.

The Galactic Center, that Black Hole is one of the main reasons {Venus crossing the Sun is the other} of what 2012 is all about. We’re inevitably heading into the crosshairs of that conjunction of the Sun on the ecliptic and the Galactic Center on that fateful Winter Solstice day. Better get your head into Galactic Receptor mode now. You’ll want to know for yourself just what is coming down the pipes.

NOW THIS IS REALLY THE LAST CHANCE PLUTONIAN/SAG. SALOON

FOR THE COLLECTIVE PSYCHE which PLUTO governs, this Re-session into SAGITTARIUS is symbolically the last time for us to have this opportunity to discard and recycle old and antiquated philosophies which have been running the world Unconsciously for too long. We get a major opp. to  legally wire tap into the Galactic Center’s Source of Soul Regeneration. This is a LIMITED TIME OFFER. When Pluto enters Capricorn you’ll have to wait 250 years for the chance to be available again. TIMING is everything. The Ancient and First religions were Star Gazing, that is the basis for all world religions.

 The Mayans say that the Galactic Center is the birth place and exit point of all Souls in this Galaxy. I for one have experienced in a vision that this is so. The Black Hole is a giant vacuum cleaner which will suck up all consciousness and change it.

PLUTO in SAGITTARIUS Aims for the TRUTH, honesty, aspirations, transformation and rebirth of  the COLLECTIVE SOUL. RELIGION needs to be overhauled now into a one world religion which is experienced directly  on a metaphysical plane. Sagittarius symbolizes the Human Spirit in control of the lower bodied animal instincts. Higher education of a truer purpose must replace the “dumbing down” which has been used by schools for years now.

 Aspirations, the Laws both man made and Higher Law, International Law and Media, Philosophies, Optimism and Humor, ethics, a connection to the Mysticism and the Stars- all of these are Sagittarian concerns.

PLUTO will stay at those “Critical” degrees until Nov 26^th when he finally stays put in Capricorn for the next 16 years- till 2024!

If the Gods from the Stars, are ever gonna show up this is their last show time. UFO’s are being sighted regularly all over the world now, info which has been secret is now being made public.

As Pluto never mind the silly demotion, is extremely powerful when Retrograde. We all have a chance to reflect on our personal philosophies our lives structure so far, revision the map of our lives and decide what stays and what goes.

Think about when structures you will build, what goals your Soul aims to climb to the top of when Pluto enters Capricorn again in Nov.

To further emphasize the newness of awareness Mercury, fleet footed messenger of the Gods who rules consciousness itself enters Aries on the 2^nd as well.  Less than 2 weeks since the Spring Equinox Mercury crosses the Cardinal Spring access point jumpstarting new ideas, communications.

And to sweeten the pot Goddess Venus also crosses the zero Aries point on April 5^th invigorating new values, romances, beauty, harmony, artistry, and relationships.

Apr.  3^rd Mercury squares Pluto @ 1:54 am PDT/ 4:54 am EDT

So those ideas are gonna get kickassed by Pluto’s depths pretty quick. Those communications gotta have staying power in order to last.

Venus Squares Pluto on the 6^th @ 8:48 pm PDT/ 11:48 pm EDT

Astrology Updates March 24-30 Copyright Tara Greene

I am testing out a new format for my Astrology predictions:

plese let me know how you like it. Your feedback is always welcome.

Moon Travels This Week

Hi lighting SCORPIO SAGITTARIUS & CAPRICORN

As the Moon passes through each one of the signs every month, the Moon will cross over and  blend Her energies with your Natal Sun Sign. This becomes your very own personal NEW MOON PHASE aside from the Outer New Moon phase which occurs each month. This event becomes a very important and highly significant time for each of us.

If you are a Scorpio Sagittarian or Capricorn then you get to celebrate your very own personal monthly New Moon phase this week.

 It’s your monthly emotional instinctual psychic renewal period blending the instincts and feelings of the Moon with the Solar light consciousness of your Sun.  Set some time aside for reflection {the Moon} and new intentions each month as the Moon crosses your Natal Sun.

Conversely if you are a TAURUS, GEMINI or CANCER Sun Sign then the Moon creates a personal Full Moon phase for each one of you during this week as it opposes your Natal Sun Sign. Full Moon phases are times to stop and be grateful for all that has been accomplished or fulfilled during this time period. A Full Moon is the balancing of the books phase when the Lights, Sun and Moon are in equal harmonious or oppositional phases. You may feel pulled in two directions, but let your Natal Sun dance in balance with the transitting Moon opposite.

And what about the other 6 signs?

When the Moon passes through SCORPIO-

AQUARIUS AND LEO get squared by the Moon.  You may feel emotionally challenged to act. Instincts will be sharpened, feelings need to be released. Both signs may be ultra stubborn and fixated by the Moon.

When Moon passes through SAGITTARIUS-

PISCES and VIRGO get squared by the Moon.

Fiery Sagittarian Moon ignites Watery Pisces to the boiling point and inspires Spiritual Idealism, Optimism and action. Pisces feel less broody and more willing to do, act on their dreams. Pisces can vent all that steam about being martyrs.

Fire and Earth don’t mix well so Sag. Moon energy scorches Virgo’s earthy practical desires. All squares are like sand in the oyster which makes them create Pearls. In other words they spur one to create beauty out of irritations.

 As Sagittarius is a mutable sign and so is Virgo movement is more fluid, spiritual creative and passionate fiery feelings and practical insights can be blended easily.

When Moon traverses CAPRICORN-

ARIES and LIBRA get hit up by the Square aspect. 

This is the big Cardinal square and Cardinal signs always want to be first, numero uno, very pushy independent types. Expect lots of fire, action, pouts, fist waving, with Aries. Sulking, acting gracious on the surface, and being irritable about feeling pushed to  make up one’s mind with Libra.

Scorpio Water Moon  from Easter Sunday – Moon in Scorpio on 23rd @  10:06 pm EDT/ 7:06 pm PDT

SCORPIO MOON PHASES are the heaviest most intense days emotionally. Your intuition and insights are razor sharp. Will is strengthed. Power ups the ante now. Scorpio is the sign most concerned with rawness, sexuality, transformation, it is the time to shed the old skin preparing for Rebirth. Scorpio is a FiXED sign so it doesn’t want to give, it stays rooted to itself and its own knowing. In each month the Scorpio phase gives us a chance to feel deep emotions, connect with our shadows and root out that which no longer serves our Highest Growth. Live and Let Die is the song motto of these days.

Moon goes Void of Course March 25 @ 8:36 pm EDT/ 5:36 PDT until

Moon enters Firey Sagittarius March 26 10:11 am EDT/7:11 am PDT

SAGITTARIUS MOON PHASE DAYS

Energy shifts dramatically from Scorpio to the optimistic, freedom loving, adventurous,

Mutable change loving, pursuit of truth and the exotic philosophies of Sag. Who pursues Justice, Religion, and knowledge unrelentingly. Notice how people are easier to get along with during these days, no more grudges. Always good to do some learning, networking during these days.

Get out and move your body, pet all those dogs and cats, dream about traveling, brush up on a foreign language, and best of all get your sense of humour back. People get klutzy under Sag. Moon’s so watch out for those corners and cupboards. And if you inadvertently spill the beans don’t worry it’s just that old Sag. Moon influencing you.

Moon goes Void of Course on the 28^th 0:21 am EDT/6:21 am PDT

Moon enters Earthy Capricorn on 28^th @ 10:43 pm EDT/ 7:43 pm PDT

CAPRICORN MOON PHASE DAYS

Now we’re in earthy, just the facts ma’am, business like, hierarchically organized, career pursuit, dry Capricorn Moon. Get your feet back on the ground now, get your taxes started, play the straight and narrow, this is a conservative time. Capricorn is a CARDINAL sign, one which starts, initiates, create new beginnings. Authority issues,

The boss, being mature, considering things before one makes a move, and pursuing long term goals and practical plans are in the air now.  Be in your body and listen to it. Get your banking done. Hard work is easier now as Saturn takes us all to task. Life seems bare bones, physical, weighty practical, no time for emotional displays, just do it. A good time for long term plans and goal setting, you’re emotional mature and serious.

Mar 24  MERCURY CONJUNCTS VENUS IN PISCES @ 9:29 am EDT/6:29 am PDT

A lovely romantic creative blend of mind and heart in the most spiritual of all the signs.

Go with the flow, Feel the connection of mind seated in the heart, thinking from the heart, and putting your heart in your head, emanating feelings,not logic from the mind.

Feeling is a much more accurate way to sense the real world. Too often we are in our minds, rattling, chatting, being ordered around by the ego-the critic in your head, or sub-personality which  you believe to be you. The ego is a trap, it’s an illusion, its true purpose is really a GPS device, It’s a survival mechanism, ego/mind keeps you in shape on the 3^rd dimension so you can tell where part of your consciousness is.

In fact we are all multi-dimensional Spiritual Light Beings and our consciousness is aware of all the complexity of 28 different dimensions turning inside and out in about a trillionth of a second. But our ego awareness, the tiny 1/10^th of our brains which we normally operate with, is very very limited to a partial use of the 5 senses. It’s like we mainly live our “normal” waking lives wearing blinders in a narrow tunnel.

Feelings are the greatest gauge of what’s really going on. SO use this time period well,

Shut your blasted mind up. Go on strike from your mental chatter, sense and feel what feels right, your feelings and intuition are much more accurate then your mind. Learn to trust your intuition more.

25^th Scorpio Moon Trines Venus Mercury so take your newly felt intuition deeper, Scorpio instincts are laserlike sharp deep, no fooling, no secrets. Go deeper.

Now turn your feelings inside and sense your own wounds, old hurts, vulnerability. This is a deepening process to find your own sense of humility, compassion, self-acceptance,

And by touching holding and embracing your wounded parts Grace descends, a Rebirth occurs. What once hurt can now begin to be healed because you were brave and strong enough to face it. This is the myth of St. George and the Dragon, the White Knight rescueing the Damsel in distress, Sleeping Beauty. All “Fairy Tales” are metaphysical, psychological, mythlogical,Archetypal stories of our inner selves. Chiron is the wounded Healer use the intensity of this time to really go down to the root causes and set yourself free.
