Enlightenment & Wisdom
This is no April Fool’s joke: right out of the gate Motivating ♂️Mars shifts into communicative ♊️Gemini on April 1st. Our energies are directed toward thoughts, speech, and language in all forms. Positive (self) talk is vital for the next six weeks. Refrain from hearsay and gossip as it will wind you in the wrong directions. Focused thought, right use of silence, and carefully measured words are key this month…
They say March is in like a lion and out like a lamb… weather wise at least. But what do the stars say? Will they support the groundhog’s prediction of an early spring or foretell a longer winter’s nap? “Misty water-colored memories” is an incredible lyric from the film The Way We Were. The lyric and film title may very well be the theme for March 2019. It accurately describes the emotions sifting through us now as we head into some key cosmic gear shifts…
With the eclipses done and over, and the close of another chapter of our lives, there is now a big, often forceful release of who we are and who we want to be.“Life is a labor pain. We are giving birth to ourselves.” With all of the chaos and turmoil in the world right now, we are granted one true gift of cosmic grace. All of the planets are direct motion during February. This greatly aids our push forward with whatever we hope to accomplish. Use this uncomplicated energy to your best advantage, especially as March will not be as smooth.
I think it is safe to say many if not most of us are glad to bid farewell to 2018. If you weren’t challenged personally this year with a crisis or pivotal life event or crossroads, then you were stuck and mired when trying to move forward. It is safe to say we were bombarded by cosmic activity this past year. The outlook for 2019 certainly appears smoother, with far less planetary gear shifts. HOORAY! So we will feel fewer bumps in our path as we progress. That said, our feet will be held to the truth during 2019 and honesty, ethical dealing and gratitude are the keys to success…January provides the solid building blocks to create from the ground what we desire: joy, happiness, love.
November is rarely an easy month. We are full-on in the calendar year-end, with school and work functioning at its peak and gearing up for the holidays. As the Sun (our will) moved into Scorpio during the final week of October, we all certainly felt the Scorpion’s sting reverberating through every level of our lives. The intensity continues for the next four weeks, and November may very well outdo October…
You may know your astrology sign but do you know its element? No worries. Most people don’t. We are so much more than our Sun sign. Each of us is a composite of ALL the planets at the moment of our birth. And each of these planets, like our Sun, is in a particular sign which is influenced by a particular element. The missing element in our astrological chart is one of the biggest clues to our behavior. Knowing this is equally important as understanding a dominance of planets in a particular element.
After a bit of a planetary reprieve last month, gear shifts kick-in right at the outset of October. So rest for a bit on your accomplishments as October promises to be very revealing. Literally at the outset of the month, on Day 1, Pluto, planet of power and transformation turns direct motion in earthy Capricorn. As it digs up systems, traditions, and customs that no longer work individually or collectively, turning over pieces of our lives we’d rather not see, planet Venus prepares to turn retrograde motion in Scorpio, ruled by Pluto… VENUS will be retrograde for 40 days!
What a time we have had. WHEW! A most challenging summer. One for the record books really. Even if you didn’t experience a crisis or significant stress, you might have felt just “off”, mired in the sluggish and difficult mucky energy, spinning your wheels. For most of us, “normal” has been redefined. This September more than others is for releasing all that pent-up energy. Now is the time to move on all those dreams you harbor…
