Uranus Sqaure Pluto

As the Uranus-Pluto square culminates some of you could be feeling the pressure.  The outer planets rule the super-conscious, world trends and what people consider to be events beyond our control.  Since this square will be in effect for some time it’s good to get in a practice of detoxing the body and challenging yourself.  Uranus deals specifically with nuclear material and Pluto with waste.  In the 60’s the last time Uranus squared Pluto pollution, radiation and environmental poisoning were big concerns and they will be now.  Detoxing will help your body rid itself of environmental toxins.  Additionally, this square is a tough energy square so you have to get tougher.  Exerting lots of intense energy like weight lifting, training for a marathon, or an intense workout regime, lessens the effects of this planetary square.  Why?  You are meeting the energy bearing down on you with more energy.  If the planets want to challenge you, you just say “Wait, I got this” and challenge yourself.  Control how the planets will affect you and control the outcome.  How this affects you will be posted in the Weekly Horoscopes

Uranus in Aries Sqaure Pluto in Capricorn and the fixed Star Facies

Since nothing great is ever accomplished without the astrological squares, here we go!  The first 7 Uranus-Pluto squares begin as Uranus in Aries squares Pluto _RX in Capricorn on June 24.  Uranus in Aries will square Pluto in Capricorn seven times between now and the end of March, 2015 and it’s important to note that the Moon will occult or eclipse the planet Pluto for about 18 months too.  Additionally, this Uranus along with Pallas squares Pluto which conjoins the fixed star Facies, which is combative, courageous and lends itself to courageous acts and glamour.  The legend goes that in Roman times if you could see that this star was not a star but a cluster of stars you could be a Roman Soldier, hence those born under this star have piercing eyes.  The asteroid Pallas encourages our ability to recognize patterns and to rearrange things. The Fixed star Facies represents the underdog who just goes for it and wins!  Uranus has an eye on the future, initiates change and rebelliously throws caution to the wind in pursuit of it, and while Pluto transforms and changes the Earth beneath you, Pluto is retrograde right now and its influence is dulled so Uranus takes charge.  In Aries Uranus initiates new energy and while Pluto is retrograde in Capricorn the tension between the new and the status quo is more moderate.  Uranus square Pluto is the ultimate sign of receiving cosmic messages and fulfilling them.  Check your chart for these degrees:

Uranus square Pluto June 24 2012 – 8 degrees
Uranus square Pluto September 19 2012 – 6 degrees
Uranus square Pluto May 21 2013 – 11 degrees
Uranus square Pluto November 1 2013 – 9 degrees
Uranus square Pluto April 21 2014 – 13 degrees
Uranus square Pluto December 15 2014 – 12 degrees
Uranus square Pluto March 17 2015 – 15 degrees

Venus Retrograde The Anatomy of a Retrograde

As your horoscope week begins the planet of Love, romance, and wealth, Venus goes retrograde until June 27^th.  Venus typically retrogrades every about every year or 18 months, depending on its transit.  Everyone who studies astrology tries to understand the movements of the planets and pierce understand their transits through the signs.  How we see them from our perspective here on planet Earth, is sometimes quite different from what is actually happening, our perspective is skewed here on earth.  Retrogrades are special times when the planets appear to us from our vantage point of Earth to be moving backwards.  They aren’t really.  Mercury will not be transiting backwards, nor will any of the other planets.  They will only appear to be moving backwards due to its position in orbit and it’s relation to the Earth, as it moves away from the planet Earth in its orbit.  The farther an object is from us the slower it appears to be moving, it’s that simple.  An object really far away appears to be moving backwards.  Space and time affect our perception.

Science has proven that there is a difference in the influence of a planet when moving toward the Earth (or direct) and moving away from the Earth or retrograde.  This difference is called Red Shift.  When a planet is receding, or moving away it appears to be retrograde, the color of the light it gives off changes.  It does in fact have a different measurable speed and different light spectrum.  This is called Red Shift.  When a planet is retrograde its influence is subnormal.  Retrogrades makes the normal influence of any planet weak. 

Venus retrograde produces red spectrum lines and its influence is the antithesis or the exact opposite of Venus direct, its influence is more like Mars.  Normally Venus produces a violet light.  When retrograde a red spectrum light like Mars. The give and take of Venus is undermined now and many will feel they have to do more or give more to receive love, recognition, or attention.  Nothing comes easy under Venus retrograde and the concept of “what’s in it for me” is always prevalent.

The Argument for Astrology

According to a Gallup poll, 25% of Americans believe in Astrology which is more than any group believes in any one religion. That would be well over 77 million people!

In the 1996 Gallup Poll, 25% said that they believe that the position of the stars and planets affect people's lives.
Research conducted amongst a sample of students in England by Sue Blackmore and Marianne Seebold found that 100% know their star sign, 70% read their horoscopes regularly and 85% agree that the description of their birth sign describes their personality (Blackmore, Susan and Seebold, Marianne, 'The Effect of Horoscopes on Women's Relationships', Correlation, Vol. 19 no 2, Winter 2000-1, pp. 14-23).
A story published in 1988 by the Associated Press says that anywhere from 20 percent to 50 percent of newspaper subscribers read the daily horoscope. 

Astrology is exceedingly popular in the Western world today. One can hardly pick up a newspaper without finding an astrological chart somewhere in it.  Many television programs and radio stations have regular astrological programs, where you can hear the latest predictions for your life.

William Petersen indicates that there are in excess of two million Americans, who are addicted to Astrology.  William Petersen estimates that in Britain about two thirds of the adult population read their horoscope.  About 53% of French people read their horoscope daily, while in Germany some 63% dabble in it.  

Why does Astrology work?

Astrology is not a remote concept; in as much as the earth is alive, the planets of our universe are alive and changing too.  Can anyone look out at the night sky and not be star struck?  While we don’t have all the answers yet as to why astrology works or how the planets influence our lives science is changing rapidly and perhaps someday we will know why astrology works and how the planets influence us.  Remember, it wasn’t until but over the last 50 years that the telephone or television were in every home.  Today everything is wireless, yet we don’t see the packets of information in the air or around us.  So it is with the energy in our solar system there’s so much we don’t know and so much we have to learn.

Its the new Moon in Pisces

This week the planet of love Venus transiting in Aries forms an inconjunct with the planet Mars _RX in Virgo;   the inconjunct aspect is a challenging aspect or an aspect where we have to redirect, divide, divert our activities, so it might be a day of change, challenges and false alarms; a day also when someone is blamed for not taking action or not doing the appropriate thing.  The sign of Aries is the ruler of Mars.  So the feeling that we have to keep everyone separate from each other or parts of our lives detached from other parts of our lives is not true, that’s the illusion.  Along with the Venus Mars _RX opposition, the messenger planet Mercury in Pisces will oppose Mars _RX in Virgo also.  The opposition suggests conflicting or opposing points of view.  However since the planet Mercury rules the sign of Virgo it could be an illusion that things are contradicting what we feel or what we want.  So we have Venus in Aries and Mercury in Pisces, pointing to Mars _RX in Virgo, the challenge is to do something, to be helpful, to continue to work hard even if you feel you’re not getting anywhere and to avoid conflict when pushed by others.  The challenge is to stop worrying.  

Mars Retrograde in Virgo

As the planet Mars retrogrades during the New Moon cycle is gives us an opportunity to disengage from the past and to start fresh without carrying unnecessary baggage into the future with us.  Letting go is not an option it’s a requirement.   

Happy Chinese New Year the Year of the Dragon is underway!

The Year of the Dragon promises to be a year of unpredictable and unusal events.  Norhing should surprise us!

2012 Year Ahead

 

No other year has gotten as much hype as the year 2012 except maybe Y2K.  The fact that in the Mayan calendar it ends on a major cycle only suggests a new cycle is beginning.  A new, new age of spirituality is emerging.  With every cycle a bottom, dark period has to be reached before individuals like you and I begin to start fresh.  So it goes with the collective Consciousness too.  A movement of change emerges in 2012.  An exchange of power from the hands of the older generation to a younger generation begins, but not easily, or readily as we have already seen in world events.  The recession continues but this isn’t Granny’s depression, we’re all working hard to get out of bad financial situations in 2012.  This could in fact be one of the most important years of this decade. 

Yes, many Major planetary aspects take place in 2012.  The most potent is the Uranus/ Pluto square.  Uranus squares Pluto at 7° - 8° of the cardinal signs of Aries and Capricorn.  The sign of Aries is forward moving ruled by Mars and Capricorn ruled by Saturn is the status quo and business oriented and slower moving.  Mars starts 2012 by retrograding in the sign of Virgo ruler of health and workers.  This is the waxing square of the cycle that started in the mid 1960s, with the conjunction of these two planets in mid Virgo.  This square is a symbol of innovation competing directly with the corporate power elite which could be challenged in a new and positive way, especially that this is a U.S. election year.  More importantly this square is in effect through 2015 challenges a whole generation of people.  It brings about a Renaissance or provokes a Revolution.  It skips a generation and affects not our children but our children’s children.  It is like having one foot in the past and one foot in the future.  We are challenged to somehow hold onto the traditions of the past but also radically change and be innovative with one foot in the future, being prepared to move forward and eventually leave the past behind.  Where do revolutions always start, with the working class.  We are apt to see more rioting throughout the world in 2012.  We could ultimately see working conditions and health conditions improve as a result of this transit.

The planet Uranus is known in astrology as the "Awakener” and represents dramatic change, invention, revolution and higher awareness, its effect is at times strange, shocking, unpredictable, and erratic.  Uranus frees us when our lives have become too structured.  Uranus rules electricity, electronics, rockets, airplanes, and pilots.  Uranus governs modern technology, inventors, scientists, and the radioactive, heavy metallic element known as Uranium. 

Pluto represents globalization, destruction, transformation and renewal, its effect is grinding, ruthless and extreme.  Pluto always acts in order to make conditions better, but it makes us feel as if we are battling invisible forces. Pluto rules complete transformation.  A classic example of how it operates is Urban Renewal.  It demolishes and then builds anew.  Both of these planets are Tran’s personal planets, that are distinctly non-personal and emotionless, yet their effect is dramatic and very deeply felt.  Both Uranus and Pluto are planets that change circumstances around us that we have no control over.  The square is the most challenging of the planetary aspects representing tests and challenges; its effect is stressful and at times frustrating. 

Innovative changes in 2012 that have to do with housing and energy could come about in 2012, by in fact reusing a power source or something that has decayed or is already there.  Maybe we will be powering our homes differently.

Beginning in March 16th 2012 a lunar occultation of Pluto occurs.  This is the first anywhere on Earth since January 19th, 1935.  In 1935 Amelia Earhart became the first person to fly solo across the Pacific Ocean, and the unemployment rate dropped in the USA.  It will occur every month now from today up to August 17th 2013.  An occultation is an event that occurs when one object is hidden by another object that passes between it and the observer.  The word occultation is an astronomical term.  It can also refer to any situation wherein an object in the foreground blocks from view an object in the background.  The Moon is the ruler of housing, family, and women.  We could definitely see some women rising into prominence because of their willingness to take chances and go against the grain.
In July the planets Mars, Uranus, and Pluto are involved in a potent T-square with the opening of the energy being the sign of Cancer, ruler of home, family, and letting go. As usual the cardinal planets are all about taking charge of one’s destiny instead of being told what to do.  This is why this Cardinal T-square spurs revolutions in certain areas of the world, and sometimes violent ones.  

 

The planet May 11th, 2012 Saturn conjuncts the fixed star Spica located at 23° Libra for a 2nd  time and then again on Aug 14th  2012,  August 22nd, 2012 the Moon, Mars, and Saturn are conjunct Spica.  The fixed star Spica is said to convey Wealth, fame, honor, glamour, it is called the "Fortunate One".  Spica looks like one star, but is actually two stars.  So we have a mixture of upheaval and reward in 2012.  

June 6th 2012 Transit of Venus across the disc of the Sun the last time Venus transited across the Sun was in 1882, over 120 years ago.  September 30, 1882, the world's first hydro electric power opened, which is yet another suggestion that we are on the verge of another powerful source of energy in 2012.  It changed our lives and gave everyone a better life, could we be on the verge of yet another source of energy that improves our quality of life in 2012.

June 11th, 2012 Jupiter enters Gemini the sign of communications, vehicles, gadgets, and how information is exchanged.  We could see major innovations here that improve our exchanges of information and even how we get from one place to another.  Jupiter is in its detriment in the sign of Gemini and doesn’t like the superficiality of the sign of Gemini. 

The planet Saturn finishes its transit through the sign of Libra ruler of justice, relationships, and “the rules” and on October 5th 2012 Saturn enters Scorpio the sign of power, partnerships finances and   death and rebirth. 

December 21st , 2012 an extremely close conjunction of the Winter Solstice Sun with the crossing point of the Galactic Equator (Equator of the Milky Way) and the Ecliptic (path of the Sun), what that ancient This is an event that has been coming to resonance very slowly over thousands and thousands of years.  It will come to resolution at exactly 11:11 am GMT.  The new, New Age is born.

2012 is going to be a year of change where flexibility is necessary.  Embrace the new changes coming into your life while keeping the past in perspective.  It could be a turbulent year of change but things must change for a new generation to have a chance. 

• There will be major firsts by women
• A new source of energy using recycled material will be implemented large scale
• Urban Renewal will take off in 2012
• TV continues to be challenged because everyone wants to voice his or her opinion in 2012
• Astrology will be in the News again in 2012
• keep your Picket sign close it’s yet another year of rioting, revolts, and revolutions throughout the world

Sun Sign Gift Giving Ideas!

Sun Sign Gift Giving Ideas!

Why should you choose a gift according to someone's Sun Sign? Well, the ruler of the 5th house of real happiness just happens to be the Sun. What really tickles another's heart and makes them really appreciate you is found in their inner most being, their Sun Sign! It's getting closer to Christmas and Hanukah and if you still haven't found the perfect gifts for the special people in your life here's some little suggestions, why not buy a gift according to their zodiac sign? Each zodiac sign has particular interests and inclinations that just might make your gift giving decisions a little easier this holiday season! So if you are puzzled, perplexed and just plain stuck, follow my suggestions and make the special people in your life a little happier this holiday season, by touching their inner selves and their inner most beings, choose your holiday gifts according to their Sun Signs !

Aries: The favorite color of the Ram is red! Clothing in red or with red details should be simple and quick and easy to put on and take off, no fancy strings and buttons needed here! They also like short cuts and doing things quickly, very quickly. Originally Aries were the warriors of the zodiac and many of them still have a penchant for sharp sword like objects. For the Aries cook I recommend a set of stainless steel knives. For the Aries collector, a collectible sword might be cherished for years to come. Not only does Aries adore sharp objects they like shiny metallic objects. Gifts with mirror décor, or shiny finishes will suit your Aries just fine!

Taurus: This is the sensual sign of the zodiac. Everything with your Taurus in mind should have a fine feel to it. After this rough year Taurus needs to be indulged and pampered. Taurus likes to feel objects with their hands. A massage to soothe the tenseness, or a spa certificate would go over well here. All clothing choices should be soft and sumptuous like the Microsoft materials, and fleece blankets that are cozy and comfortable. Expensive clothing made of fine silk, or soft and luxurious fabrics will please a Taurus every time. Can't afford silk? That's ok; Taurus also likes old worn out and soft finery. Scarves and shirts made of fleece, or flannel will be just as pleasing. Remember it has to be nice to feel, soft to the touch, calming and pleasing to the fingertips.

Gemini: Anything that keeps Gemini on the cutting edge of communication will be the perfect gift. Gemini loves not just to learn and know things, Gemini wants to know things first. Having information available and at a Gemini's fingertips will make this sun sign feel more in control. A PDA to store all their important contacts and information will be a great boon for this sign. A subscription to a magazine, newspaper, satellite news station, even satellite radio, just anything that gets information to your Gemini first will be coveted forever! Not looking to spend that much, turn them on to the latest on the internet, a great blog find where they can voice their views teach and learn will get their attention! Gemini's have fast fingers and can do 2 things at one time a computer is a fantastic idea, if they don't have one already!

Cancer: Those born under the sign of the crab are not only shy and retiring; they're off the Richter Scale with sentimentality! Home holds a special place in their heart. Mom, babies, and family are imprinted on the hearts and souls of all Cancers. A family photo, even a pet photo, as any Cancer will think of their pet as their child. A frame for their photo collection of photos would be appreciated and used! Anything that makes their house a home would be a treasured gift. Cancers have a reputation for not letting go of things. Pac rat's yes, but they prefer to think of themselves as collectors. Find out what your Cancer collects and add to it. They all have collections! Or a set of storage boxes always is a welcome gift item here!

Leo: Leo is the flamboyant sign of the zodiac. It's got to be flashy, Like Boas, rhinestone studded or gold metallic shirts and clothing. This sign probably likes to play dress up and are usually over or under dressed for any occasion, since they like to stand out in a crowd. Leo's have had a pretty rough year, help them to remember their flashier days. Gaudy or items that stand out even items that dress up their fabulous mane of hair will be appreciated by this Sun Sign. Even at home you might find your Leo all decked out! Lingerie will make their bedtime wear as fancy as their daytime time wear. Leo's love fancy hats, hair pieces, hair ornaments. Such as head bands, and barrettes with lots of sequin like jewels. Any headwear reminds them of their prior lifetimes in the royal courts!

Virgo: Many of you already know Virgo's that take to housework like ducks to water, ok once they get started! No other sign in the zodiac has the potential for a cleaner house than Virgo! Anything that makes their house working and cleaning go a little smoother or does the cleaning job a little better, they will love. Like a robotic vacuum cleaner. Fancy brooms, and antimicrobial sponges, even fancy kitchen towels. They hate germs, so cutting edge products and gadgets that kill germs are loved by this Sun Sign. Virgo's are also very hip to personal cleanliness. However, organics is the key word they love, so anything pure and organic will peak their interest.  Each Virgo is addicted to reading.  A book is always a welcome gift item here!  Need I say it?  Ok, they all think they're sick; a gift basket of pharmaceuticals wouldn't be out of the question.

Libra: Libra is actually a military sign not like Aries though, which is the warrior sign but, the higher echelon of generals and officers.  There's always an air of superiority about them. Any type of clothing that looks like a military uniform with crests and badges or pins will certainly please this sign. Can't find military looking clothing? Then, choose something in the color palette of royal to navy blue. The regal allure of those colors please the sensibilities of each Libran. Most individuals born under the sign of Libra have difficult times making decisions, any gadget that they can spin, or turn on and that gives a yes or no answer will be highly treasured, like a lucky 8 ball! Remember though, it must be wrapped and given with an eye towards tastefulness and good manners. Your gift must look good and be pleasing to the eye. They are simple disgusted by anything less than nicely done, not presentable or ugly!

Scorpio: because Scorpio is such a hidden sign, the color most appropriate for them is really black. Scorpio really likes items that look like one thing but, do another. Exercise shirts that actually block out the Sun's harmful rays, or soak up more perspiration than a sponge. Simple black shirts that have become very vogue are well suited for this sun sign. Like their opposing sign Taurus they too enjoy soft textured clothing items, well worn out and supple. Complex directions don't phase this sign and they are well suited to gifts that need assembly, or are difficult to operate. Because Scorpio rules the 8th house some born under this sign would appreciate magic kits, science kits and even card tricks that require slights of hand, or books about the subjects. Anything that is too complex for the rest of us to learn, Scorpio will love!

Sagittarius: if price is no object then take your Sagittarius on a trip. Maybe you could chip in with others and send them on a trip to a far off place! Sagittarius is the sign of the wanderer and being pinned to one place is real torture. Travel books, and DVD's that tour the world are also good replacements for the real thing. Because their ruling planet is Jupiter they are generous and also appreciate generosity in others. An item that they could share or re-gift would by a Sagittarian delight! A donation to a University or religious institution in their name would be welcome too. Big boxes will pique the interest of this sign so whatever you get them put it in a huge box. Large pets like their glyph, the horse would go over well. Can't do a horse this year, then, anything with a horse theme or animal theme would be well liked by this Sun Sign.

Capricorn: This is the elegant sign of the zodiac understated and modest they are probably prone to liking the color gray in their clothing and outer wear. Because the sign rules the winter months outer wear is very appreciated, scarves, hats and gloves coats, mittens, and booties! Capricorn is the sea goat ever climbing higher, that makes it another sign that likes to get the edge over the competition. A printer or item for their business or gift certificate to an office store would be appreciated here! Understated, and conservative items when they are young, Flamboyant, overstated, and loud colors as they age. This Sun Sign has this reverse aging thing going on. When they are young their tastes are older, more conservative, and understated. As they get older they become young again, and they want to stand out, be looked at and be cool and young again!

Aquarius: This sun sign gravitates to the color electric blue! Now that manufactures are making everything in colors, make sure that whatever you chose for Aquarius that it's in a color, preferably electric blue! Small electrical items like iPods, telephones, and blackberries that their friends will like too go over well with this group. If you are thinking about shirts, make them long sleeve for Aquarius, and as they are still on the conservative side. Many born under this sign are still conservative dressers, a fall back from when the sign was ruled by Saturn. More than any other sign, this sun sign is not selfish. Gifts that they can share or do with their friends will go over big! Games, Video games with more than 2 handsets, restaurant gift certificates for at least 4 people as they don't like to do anything by themselves!

Pisces: This sun sign has a penchant for the color purple. Not a loud purple, just the color of Amethyst which is their favorite stone and because it is so available, might make a nice gift for them. This is a dreamy sign that loves fantasy. A fancy get away to a spa, a pampering message to salon or resort will be a thrilling gift for this sign. This sun sign sometimes feels victimized by life. Encouraging posters, Motivational tapes, books, sayings, pictures, and cards always deeply touches and helps them. This is another sign that loves large animals like horses.  If you can't afford one, a gift certificate to the zoo, circus, or just photos of horses will do.

Kahlil Gibran on Love

When love beckons to you, follow him,
Though his ways are hard and steep.
And when his wings enfold you yield to him,
Though the sword hidden among his pinions may wound you.
And when he speaks to you believe in him,
Though his voice may shatter your dreams
as the north wind lays waste the garden.

For even as love crowns you so shall he crucify you. Even as he is for your growth so is he for your pruning.
Even as he ascends to your height and caresses your tenderest branches that quiver in the sun,
So shall he descend to your roots and shake them in their clinging to the earth.

Like sheaves of corn he gathers you unto himself.
He threshes you to make you naked.
He sifts you to free you from your husks.
He grinds you to whiteness.
He kneads you until you are pliant;
And then he assigns you to his sacred fire, that you may become sacred bread for God's sacred feast.

All these things shall love do unto you that you may know the secrets of your heart, and in that knowledge become a fragment of Life's heart.

But if in your fear you would seek only love's peace and love's pleasure,
Then it is better for you that you cover your nakedness and pass out of love's threshing-floor,
Into the seasonless world where you shall laugh, but not all of your laughter, and weep, but not all of your tears.
Love gives naught but itself and takes naught but from itself.
Love possesses not nor would it be possessed;
For love is sufficient unto love.

When you love you should not say, "God is in my heart," but rather, "I am in the heart of God."
And think not you can direct the course of love, for love, if it finds you worthy, directs your course.

Love has no other desire but to fulfill itself.
But if you love and must needs have desires, let these be your desires:
To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night.
To know the pain of too much tenderness.
To be wounded by your own understanding of love;
And to bleed willingly and joyfully.
To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving;
To rest at the noon hour and meditate love's ecstasy;
To return home at eventide with gratitude;
And then to sleep with a prayer for the beloved in your heart and a song of praise upon your lips.

On Sept. 19th the same day that Saturn comes out of its shadow so does the personal planet Mercury, at 18* Virgo and both planets aspect the North and South nodes. The personal planets like Mercury, Venus and Mars bring the experiences of the outer planets home to us. Since Virgo is the 12th house to the sign of Libra this indicates a time of completion and endings. Additionally, with every ending there is always a new beginning. Sometimes we look forward to these times and sometimes we don’t, that's life. That being said we may not be aware of these new beginnings until Mercury reaches Saturn’s shadow degree of 17 degrees Libra on Oct. 6th.

Cardinal Aspects Get used to em!

4x’s per year for the next at least 10 years the Sun, and the personal planets, Mercury, Venus, and Mars will aspect the outer planets of Uranus and Pluto; making this a sustained period of change, unusual weather conditions, upheaval, and defensiveness. These aspects will also create innovations in travel, and technology that changes our lives forever.
Get used to having to stand up for yourself, defend your turf, and your beliefs! When the Sun is in an air sign and aspects Uranus and Pluto thoughts and words create good and bad. Since air rules the skies weather conditions could be windier than usual.

Mercury Retrograde the Do's and Don'ts

Mercury goes retrograde about 3 times per year giving us all added time to negotiate, ask questions and perfect whatever’s going on in our lives at that time. Do you retreat from life and business? No, you simply become more careful and selective. If you are in tune you will naturally do this, and there won’t be a problem. However, if you are anxious and nervous and not in a good place in time, Mercury retrograde could cause problems for you. As one of the personal planets, Mercury rules our daily activities, communications, computers, short travels in the car, by bus or any other transportation. It rules communications; telephones, computers, and agreements, and misunderstandings. In 2011 these are Mercury’s retrograde Cycles:
Mer R Mar 30 2011 12:48 24°Ar21' R
Mer D Apr 23 2011 02:05 12°Ar54' D
Mer R Aug 2 2011 19:51 01°Vi12' R
Mer D Aug 26 2011 14:04 18°Le42' D
Mer R Nov 23 2011 23:20 20°Sg06' R
Mer D Dec 13 2011 17:43 03°Sg52' D
Mer R Mar 11 2012 23:50 06°Ar48' R
Mer D Apr 4 2012 02:12 23°Pi52' D

Saturn an it's lessons

Saturn retrograded in late January at 17* Libra and will be at that very same spot in September, 9 months later. It shouldn’t’ come as any surprise that from the time Saturn retrogrades, and then is at the same place in heavens it’s the same period of time as the gestation period of a human baby. Then we assume that a seed was planted in January that must mature, grow and remain hidden, yet be anticipated, until September, when it is ready to emerge.

The Full Moon could bring a Salacious Political Scandal

As your horoscope week begins minds turn serious with the Full Moon in Capricorn. Saturn the ruler of the sign of Capricorn is transiting in Libra where it’s in its exaltation. Saturn is still in its shadow and won’t be out of its shadow until Sept.18th. For those readers not familiar with astro babble this means that Saturn went retrograde at 17.13 degrees Libra on Jan. 26th, 2011, now that Saturn is direct it will make its 3rd pass through the degrees up until 17.13 where it enters new degrees and we experience a new set of Saturn related lessons and experiences. We get 3 chances at perfecting ourselves with Saturn and retrograde planets

Week of June 13th –June 20th, 2011 Horoscope

As your horoscope week begins the planet of lessons and delays, Saturn has gone direct. It’s still considered stationary direct, moving ever so slowly through the previous weeks degrees. This will change as Saturn picks up speed in the coming weeks and goes through its 3rd pass through degrees 10*-17* where Saturn retrograded. The 3rd pass is considered tougher than the 1st and 2nd. Check your natal birth charts for any degrees 10-17 to see if you are affected.
