Morning Star: Astrology for the week of May 14 to May 20, 2018

Monday, May 14, 2018 Are you ready for this week? Sure you are. As ready as you'll ever get because here it is. What I see taking an overview of the week here as thematic is folks getting fed up. It's too much. Something has to change. I'm tired of this. I can't take it anymore. If you don't get to a point like that in some area of your life within the confines of this week you are among the lucky few. And, this need not be a bad thing. You know? Sometimes things NEED to change with those changes ultimately help us to sculpt out a better life for ourselves. Yet, regardless of our incentive for change, it can still be quite scary. The unknown variables can be daunting. The release of comfort momentarily could seem unsavory. Complacency and a lack of initiative can staple us into drudgery rather quickly.  But. When the discomfort of how things have become grows more unbearable than the discomfort of change, we will often take it upon ourselves to change things. We wil...

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

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 the week of April 30 to May 6, 2018

Overview I told you last week was gonna be big. It did turn out that way with some of that saga set to continue. However, don't expect this week to be as action or as pressure filled. I, for one, am grateful for that. Many are in need of simply recovering from the ramping up and subsequent release of last weeks energy and happenings. This week? Much more subtle...which in my opinion is a good thing. What we are moving into at the end of this week is a sextile between our Sun in Taurus and Neptune in Pisces (5/6). Plus, Mercury will square off with Pluto. In the beginning of the week, Venus in Gemini creates a Yod by way of a sextile to our North Node in Leo as both form an inconjunct to Saturn. This puts Saturn Rx at the Apex of that Yod which flickers between the evening of 5/1 to the evening of 5/2. Like last weeks' Mercury/NN trine, this is a very subtle movement. What it allows us to do is decide what it is we want in our future. The Full Moon lit up a brief Yod with her s...
