New Moon in Taurus: Wake up! A new day dawns!

Image
The Astrology With this particular chart, set for Washington, DC, we see that Mercury is prevalent as that is the ruler of the ascendant. However. I find Mercury quite relevant across the board at this lunation. Because we find Venus, the ruler of this New Moon, in the sign of Mercury. Over and above the fact that Mars and Uranus are square here each getting ready to change signs, they are relevant in different aspects than just the obvious, as well. Uranus is perceived as being the higher octave of Mercury. Representative of the “higher mind;” expert-level wisdom, an ability to perceive and analyze facts on a more complex level even than Mercury himself. While being no less a trickster...just way better at it, actually. Uranus is getting ready to move into Taurus right after this Moon. Shifting his lessons and themes out from under the rulership of Mars and surrendering it to Venus. Mercury has just retraced steps through the sign of Aries, moved forward following that review of info...

Morning Star: Astrology for the week of May 7 to May 13, 2018

Overview: This week emotional energy continues to wane. However, there are very grand happenings occurring in our sky. Two entities are making aspects right now that lead us into a preparatory stage for a new kind of awareness on a personal level. It is the movements of both Mercury and Venus that hold importance going into this week. We have Mercury in the sign of advancement, engagement, war and pioneering. He enters new territory this week having left his recent retrograde shadow. So, we will see an introduction of new information on some levels which is secondary in comparison to the deepening and devouring of information that is also due to come. We are ready to move forward. And...we will. But, some things we engage in in our near future are going to demand a do over. Mars enters his retrograde shadow. Chiron is also in the sign of initiation, war, advancement and Mars. The deepening and focus/fixation comes as Mercury squares Pluto on Monday. This draws what is lingering in our ...

Morning Star: Astrology for May 20 to May 23, 2017

Saturday, May 20, 2017 This morning we wake up with the Moon in Pisces leaving her overnight conjunction with Neptune and moving in to sextile Pluto. This could equate to a night of deep and restorative rest last night. On the low end, though, it could have been tearful or even caused nightmares. Yet, the sextile with Pluto is not harsh and could essentially bring emotional grounding and restoration...plus a bit more focus. By Noon, the Moon is square Mars in Gemini and motivations could be confused or scattered. This could also cause disagreements over what to do or just in general. Remember that the Moon is waning if you are having trouble setting priorities. This is a time to wind down tasks and clear out space over and above starting anything brand new. As you clear out space and wipe out your task list, begin to imagine all the things you can fill that Void with in the future as you contemplate your intentions for our incoming New Moon in Gemini on the 25 th . Also, with Moon squ...

Morning Star: Astrology for May 15 to May 19, 2017

Monday, May 15, 2017 Today looks rather stable for the most part. We wake up with the Moon in Capricorn in sextile to Neptune at 5:52 AM. It is industrious but willing to accommodate. The sensitive leader Moon that maintains a sense of compassion for those under his wing is a figurative representation of this Moon. This can be quite creative and empathic but remains grounded and purposefully driven. From here the Moon moves on to square Jupiter in Libra at 6:12 AM. Again, not a horrible aspect. It could amplify emotions or steer the mood toward being less dour. We may feel as if we have a lot on our plates. Yet, overall, it's fairly buoyant. The Moon continues through Capricorn passing over Mars in Gemini by inconjunct at 11:01 AM then sinks into a conjunction with Pluto at 4:25 PM. And, here's the thing about all that. Mars ventures into out of bounds status today. He goes rogue. Out of reach of the regulating body of the Sun. This is not rare. However, it does mark a period...
