Things you need to know about your Astrologer

Dear readers, colleagues and friends: I apologize in advance for the length of this address. This is a topic I have much to say about and plenty to share with the folks who frequent my site. I have found sludge in my profession. Over the weekend, I was greatly triggered by information that I just happened to trip over . You see, historically, I am one of those “middle of the road” gals. What I mean by that is that I have been at one time or another in my life a registered Republican, Democrat and an Independent. I have no party loyalty. I do this thing where I go to and read the platform of folks that are running for office rather than adhere to a certain party affiliation. I want to know who I am voting for and what they stand for above and beyond what party they align with. This is why you do not read me specifically writing about any certain party in the political realm. I also have readers outside the US. I try to keep my writing relevant to them. Writing and Astrology are my pri...

Morning Star: Astrology for the week of September 25 to September 30, 2017

Monday, September 25, 2017 This morning the Moon wakes up amicably but spends most of the day in harsh aspect to the rest of the sky from Sagittarius. Plus, Mercury in Virgo also squares Saturn in Sagittarius in our early morning hours. Mercury in Virgo is very precise. Very particular. But, he also speaks as a service. He thinks with an end goal in mind as he is results and solution oriented. I've also worked with enough Virgo's to know that this placement along with anything else in the sign can be harshly self-critical. Over-analyzing and picking apart self for the smallest thing. Then, allowing that self-berating to run over and spill on out into the world. With Mercury in Virgo square Saturn, we are given a chance to hone our communication skills. Use the power of our words. Be precise in the message we want to deliver. Or, even, solidify plans that we have only penciled into our agendas. On the lower end, you may feel negative. Have heavy thoughts. Feel as if something i...

Morning Star: Astrology for the weekend of September 23 and 24, 2017

Saturday, September 23, 2017 For the most part, today is fairly easy going. These waters run deep. But, not loudly. While externally, many a visage will appear calm. Most are hyper aware of their surroundings, contemplating vast personal psychological crevices. Willing or not. The interplay between Scorpio and Virgo is sharp. Analytical. Practical. Not a single detail makes it past these two without inspection and dissection. The penetrative and focused energy of Moon in Scorpio has been given the precision and discernment of a personal planet stellium in Virgo. What better way to spend the first full day of Sun in Libra than with balance practice using the energies of the signs on either side of her. The energy coming from both, Scorpio and Virgo, also fall under the empowering and transformative presence of Pluto in Capricorn. The pitfall of the day is found in the waters of Neptune. Those unconscious, latent or eschewed from us things. As every energy I have just mentioned, is al...

Morning Star: Astrology for the week of September 18 to September 22, 2017

Monday, September 18, 2017 This morning, the Moon strongly wanes and disseminates in Virgo. We are in full blown emotional release mode as we prepare to enter the fresh cycle brought forth by the Virgo New Moon on the 20 th . Yet, as we wipe the slate clean of Virgo season and the Sun enters Libra on Friday, we will still have a lot of Virgo energy to contend with. Mercury does exit the sign of Virgo on 9/29 leaving Mars and Venus behind in Virgo. Venus enters Libra on Oct 15 th . Mars lingers in Virgo until October 23 rd . So we are called to think like and exude Libra but acting and caring as if we were Virgo for much of that season. Some of the energy does shift as Pluto stations direct on the 28 th and Jupiter enters Scorpio on October 11 th . At that time, we shift gears in the collective course agenda. We leave the world of justice, balance, fairness and even handed operations and enter the a classroom where we will learn about power, depth, shadow and all the hints that Jupiter...

Saturday, September 16, 2017 This morning we wake up under a waning Leo Moon. She is incredibly small right now as we approach the promise of our New Moon in Virgo on the 20 th . However, the energy coming from the sign of Leo, itself, is pretty punctuated this weekend as well as the energy coming from Virgo...which could make for an interesting mix. The main event in Virgo this weekend is the conjunction of Mercury in Mars at 3:02 PM EDT today. Let me issue the warning flares first, ok? Mercury and Mars meet at 7 degrees of the sign. This is within orb of an opposition to Neptune, though, admittedly wide. It IS waxing, though. Given that Mercury and Mars together can cause folks to attempt to take on too many tasks at once, attempt to work too quickly and given that it occurs in the “fix-it-person” sign of Virgo, this could equate to becoming distracted and, thus, getting hurt by way of things like lawn equipment, tools, machinery (including vehicles...cars, motorcycles, etc). Mercur...
