Wild Moon Wisdom Horoscopes

for the week of Monday, February 20 - Sunday, February 26

This week we move toward the end of this Eclipse Portal with our second eclipse, an annular solar eclipse in Pisces on Sunday morning. From the Leo Full Moon and eclipse on February 10 until the New Moon and Pisces eclipse the Universe is listening more intently and the energy is more fertile and numinous, making it a good time to invoke dreams and plant seeds and magnetize to you what you need. The sun just recently left Aquarius for Pisces, the last zodiac sign, and on Sunday we have a solar Eclipse and New Moon in Pisces making this a most potent day for Pisces sun signs. As with all New Moons, set intentions for this next lunar cycle and know that with the added power of an eclipse these intentions and inspirations could get activated magically, with the force of the heavens propelling them into manifestation.

Mercury, muse of the mind, also shifts into Pisces this week, on Saturday, changing the way we connect and the things we talk about. Mercury is conjunct Uranus in Aries this weekend, inciting some revolution through verbal or written means, or maybe only in our own thoughts.

Manage your psychology as best you can and try to tap into the palpable energy surges from these two eclipses, working with these forces to create something meaningful.

Enjoy your week.

Wild Moon Wisdom Horoscopes

for the week of Monday, February 13- Sunday, February 19

 

I don’t have to tell you there’s a lot going on politically, socially and personally, and my answer when people ask if anything is going on astrologically is always, yes. Always.

When you are in alignment with Nature, you can navigate the winds of the changing currents as the archetypal energies influence your consciousness. Understanding what these archetypal influences are, you can learn to work with the energies in the most optimal ways.

We are in an Eclipse Portal, the numinous space between eclipses, a designated no whining zone psychically, and a time when we can concentrate on and invoke positive change, transformation, and revolution.  We are coming off of the Leo full moon and lunar eclipse from Friday, and we’ll have a solar eclipse at the new moon in Pisces on February 26. The Leo/Aquarius axis of the full moon eclipse asks us to balance our paradoxical qualities or to explore contrary compliments, like power and grace, or balancing emotion with intellect. Jupiter is retrograde in Libra, asking us to fine tune where we want growth and expansion, and where we’ve gone into excess. Lilith moves to Sagittarius for nine months. And on Saturday we say goodbye to Aquarius season, as the sun moves into the last sign of the zodiac, Pisces. Neptune ruled Pisces solar cycle will assist our ability to tune in energetically and emotionally during the Eclipse Portal, looking deeply at our dreams as well as our delusions.

Enjoy your week. xo,

Aries & Aries Rising

On Saturday we leave Aquarius for Pisces season, when the sun enters the water sign in the early morning hours (3:31am PST). Your attention will shift to your quiet twelfth house of solitude and self-undoing for the next four weeks. This down time is meant to prepare you for your solar return, coming up next. For this solar cycle you should allow yourself time to process any residue of resentment or disappointment, work out your plans, address your patterns of self-defeating behavior, and to get real rest. There might be a lot to let go of now before your solar return celebrations begin.

Mars, your ruler, is still in your sign all month so you should feel some of your passion and inspiration return as you plan your personal goals and vision.

This weekend, as we change sun signs, let yourself have some down time to be creative or to pamper yourself.

Taurus & Taurus Rising

On Saturday the sun leaves Aquarius and heads to Pisces, moving your attention to your eleventh house of alliances. For the next four weeks of this new solar season, your friendships will take the forefront, you’ll put energy into the clubs and political associations you belong to, and your long term dreams will come into focus. This is a good time for teamwork to create positive change and to use technology to move toward your highest vision for life.

This week we’re in the Eclipse Portal, so all your thoughts and energy will be heard clearly by the Universe; make sure you’re channeling what you want to draw in.

Start thinking about your tribe, those beings you surround yourself with and you count on, and consider where you could fortify your boundaries more and where your heart can open more.

Gemini & Gemini Rising

You could get a promotion during this time or just feel reinspired and more passionate and ambitious.

This week we are in the middle of the Eclipse Portal, a time when our thoughts and ideas are amplified. It’s important to not let your worry or overthinking take over this month. Let your inner dialogue reflect your heart’s deepest desires.

Cancer & Cancer Rising

On Saturday the sun moves from Aquarius to Pisces, to your house of study and mental exploration.

We are in the Eclipse Portal, intensifying all of our thoughts and feelings. Make sure to put a pause on sulking and complaining, as the Universe is listening intently to what you’re focused on.

This week, think about what you really want in life and devise a few plans to choose from that can get you there.

Leo & Leo Rising

On Saturday the sun shifts out of Aquarius and into Pisces, your intense eighth house. For the four weeks that follow your attention will be on themes of sex, death and rebirth, manifesting in thoughts about intimacy and privacy, shared wealth, legacies or inheritance, and spiritual transformation. That should keep you busy enough, Leo.

If not, we’re still under the influence of the Eclipse Portal, so all things feel a little more intense. The full moon in your sign still has us feeling a little lunacy hung over. Remember to direct your thoughts in the direction of positive invocation and gratitude.

This week, let yourself explore the themes of this sun cycle without explanation, blame or guilt.

Virgo & Virgo Rising

The Aquarius sun cycle ends and the Pisces cycle begins this week, moving your focus to your relationship house. For the next four weeks your attention will be on partnerships, your partners and relationship issues. This part of your chart is about relating to others, forming bonds and partnerships, and includes the work part of relationships, with your partner as well as with the people you work with or those you’re involved with in legal affairs. This is the house of harmony.

We are in an Eclipse Portal all week, which can seem to intensify everything. Your thoughts and self-talk should reflect invocations of what you want in life rather than a laundry list of self-loathing, Virgo.

This week, keep a positive attitude and reflect on all your current relationships and how uplifting or draining they all are.

Libra & Libra Rising

The sun moves out of Aquarius and into Pisces this week, shifting the energy to your sixth house of organization and well being. For the next four weeks of this sun cycle your attention will turn to your health, fitness, doctor’s appointments, your relationship with the people you work with, pets and getting organized. Put your wellness first this month by scheduling all the check ups you need, starting a new class, eating better, getting more self-care and pampering. The energy can also be channeled into getting organized mentally and physically, decluttering your life in a major  way in order to make room for what’s to come.

Self-care should be emphasized now and getting lots of rest and relaxation.

This week allow yourself to think about what makes you feel most at home and with whom you want to spend your time.

This is the part of your chart that deals with self-expression, travel and ideas. Your logic and memory will be strong now, and both technology and community will figure into this week’s work.

We are in the middle of an Eclipse Portal which causes activation, initiation, but also some confusion and intensification of emotions and energy.

This week it would be good to keep a level head and maybe get out of town for a break.

Wild Moon Wisdom Horoscopes ~ Feb 6-12

Wild Moon Wisdom Horoscopes

for the week of Monday, February 6 - Sunday, February 12

Jupiter has just turned retrograde in Libra (23º) on Sunday until June 9. His work of expansion and openings will be felt internally during this cycle, a good time to plant seeds and perfect plans. On Tuesday, Mercury joins the sun in Aquarius, modifying our communications and conversations. Mercury in Aquarius has a detached, unemotional tone, more informational and our thinking more logical if capable. The big news of the week is the Full Moon in Leo and penumbral Lunar Eclipse. Luna is more dramatic when in the sign of Leo, and on top of the usual lunacy we have the electrifying vibes of an eclipse. Eclipses are like cosmic power surges; they shake things up, wake us up, initiate sudden changes and activate us in some way. Those of you who’ve read my work and participated in courses over the years know that eclipses come in twos, and we’ll have another eclipse, a Solar Eclipse, at the New Moon in Pisces on February 26. You’ll also remember that the time span between the eclipses I call the “no whine zone” because the Cosmic Consciousness is fertile and being seeded with your thoughts, desires, longings and intentions, so during this time you should form your thoughts into affirmations and prayers, songs to the Divine about what you’re grateful for, what you heart is calling for. Eclipses often spiral in 9 and 18 year increments, connecting that time and those events to this one. For this upcoming eclipse, hold a clear and steady vision of what you want and offer gratitude for the fullness in your life.

Enjoy your week. And happy new year!

Mercury, the planet of communication, moves to Aquarius and your eleventh house of friendship and collaboration. This shift increases your logical brain power and ability to communicate clearly and effectively. This would be a great time to reach out to like minds, to dream of solutions with your heart tribe, even just to have your besties over for a slumber party and late night contemplative wisdom think tank.

On Friday we have a Leo full moon and lunar eclipse, activating some powerful magick. This moon lands in your fifth house of sex and art.  Full moons bring enough lunacy, but coupled with Leo it can get a bit dramatic. And add to that an eclipse, otherwise known as a changemaker, things could get interesting at best and volatile at worst.

This week is for organizing your thoughts and powers to have an action plan of moving forward into this year.

Taurus & Taurus Rising

The planet that rules all communication, Mercury, moves to Aquarius and your house of career.

If you have any investigative work to do, or a presentation or talk to give, this is a good time for it.

We have a Leo full moon on Friday, plus a lunar eclipse, initiating something big. Full moons always bring lunacy and fruition, or the end of a cycle, and with an eclipse in the mix you can be certain there will be big changes or unexpected news.

In general, you should experience greater intimacy and possibly could have a spiritual realization of some sort.

We have a full moon in Leo with a lunar eclipse on Friday. Full moons bring lunacy and eclipses are change makers, so we can expect that this will be a potent day.

This week prepare for any news or changes that might come your way by getting truly grounded and centered and rested.

If that wasn’t enough to occupy your time this week, we have full moon in your sign on Friday WITH a lunar eclipse! Full moons always bring lunacy, and in your sign they’re always more dramatic, and with an eclipse you should expect the unexpected. An eclipse in your first house of self has the potential to be powerful, but there will likely be unexpected news or a sudden change, possibly connected to events of nine or eighteen years ago.

This is also the house of experts, technology, alliances, father figures and ambition.

This week let your attention turn to creating home, as well as manifesting your career dreams.

Sagittarius & Sagittarius Rising

On Tuesday, Mercury moves into Aquarius, your third house of communication. Mercury’s realm is all about communication, thoughts, conversation, memory… and in the communication area of your chart all of your written and spoken words will carry more power and your self-expression will be clear.

We have a full moon in Leo on Friday with a lunar eclipse. This brings the action to your house of travel and education. All full moons are high energy events, bringing lunacy and drama, and in Leo that energy is exaggerated.

This eclipse is connected to events that occurred nine or eighteen years ago, and could deal with your physical or mental health, your relationships with the people you work with, purification or organization, or even pets.

For this week, listen deeply to your intuition and watch for initiations or activations around the eclipse.

Light the Fires ~ Imbolc Blessings

February 2 is Imbolc (Candlemas), a cross-quarter holy day that initiates the very first stirrings of Springtime. Celtic/Pagan holy days begin at sunset on the eve before, so the observances begin on February 1 at sundown. There are subtle signs in nature that remind us that winter is waning and the sun's light continues to grow. The word oimelc translates as "ewe's milk" and refers to ewes ready to give birth to little lambs just as the earth swells with new life. This is a fire festival, presided over by Brighid (Brigit) the Great Celtic Goddess of Sacred Wells and Keeper of the Flames. She also governs occult wisdom and divination, healing, smithcraft, hearth and home.  Magic and divination are prominent this time of year. It is a fertile time for high magick and deep dreaming. For years on Imbolc Eve I have hung a special cloth, called Brighid's Mantle, from my window overnight so that as Brighid passes through the night it will be blessed by Her.

Also, in February we celebrate Lupercalia, which honors Faunus (Pan) and a festival to honor Juno; these celebrations involved fertility and purification and rebirth. February comes from the word februare, "to purify" or februa, "purifications, expiatory rites." Clearing out psychic debris and hardened resentments and disappointments, melting old petrifications, and generally letting go of self-imposed limitations will be assisted in the month of February, as we shift from winter toward spring. This is a an auspicious time for a renewal in your soul and to tune into your own psychic senses and non-rational ways of knowing. 

Light and tend the fires of your heart. Feel the red embers burning in the cauldron purify and clear confusion and stagnation and ignite new passions. Feel your golden dreams stirring in the darkness, burgeoning and ready to burst into being. 

May Brighid's mantle cover, protect, and bless you this year. Blessed be.

for the week of Monday, January 30 - Sunday, February 5

Happy Lunar New Year! Welcome the Year of the Yin Fire Rooster, initiated on the Aquarius New Moon on Friday, January 27. You can read my post about the Rooster on the blog.

We move into February on Wednesday, and Aquarius season is fully underway. As the Wheel of the Year turns again, we arrive at Imbolc (Candlemas), a mid-winter holy day. It begins at sunset on Wednesday and is a time for divination, visions and hope. In aligning with Mother Nature we bring ourselves into alignment and at this time of the year, when the ground is still frozen or wet and the wind blows cold, we are encouraged to draw close to the hearth of our hearts. Take time to honor your feelings of vulnerability, acknowledge your fears and the fragility of life, feel your humanity, and be with the mystery. The light is waxing and will return, bringing us all back to life from winter’s sleep. We have much work to do. For now, dream deeply.

Blessed be.

The actions you take and decisions you make will have potency and ambition, and if you focus on self-love now it will be powerful.

Jupiter, benevolent planet of blessings, turns retrograde in Libra late Sunday night, affecting your seventh house of partnerships. The retrograde is an optical illusion, but archetypally the retrograde cycle affects how we experience the energy of that planet. For the next four months you may do some soul searching regarding a relationship or your partner, contemplate how to grow your success and abundance, or reevaluate your philosophical beliefs.

Take time to reflect, to acknowledge where you are and reconsider the path if necessary. You don’t have to make changes now, just dream big and make plans.

Happy Lunar New Year ~ Welcome to the Year of the Yin Fire Rooster

The Year of the Yin Fire Rooster

Happy lunar new year! We welcome the Rooster to head up this new year, and more specifically, a Yin Fire Rooster. So, what does this mean for this year? A lot. The Rooster’s crow is a wake up alarm, and I don’t think it could’ve come at a better time.

On Friday, January 27, the new moon that joined the sun in Aquarius initiated Lunar New Year. If you were born during a Rooster year you’re considered a rooster and this is your year. And just like Western astrology, Vedic astrology, etc, Chinese astrology is rich, complex, and cannot be understood by the simple and surface descriptions most people are used to when it is discussed. There are twelve animals in the zodiac, each assigned an element, season, positive or negative charge. Rooster corresponds to the Western sun sign of Virgo.

The direction associated with Rooster is west and autumn is the season (guards the lungs, controls Wood). It is a yin sign and its fixed element is Metal. This year is a yin fire Rooster, so it will have specific attributes. You can think of yin as more passive, or more focused on personal relationships and boundaries. If you were born between the hours of 5 and 7pm, you have Rooster as your ascendant and will have an affinity for Roosters and many of the characteristics. The animal that rules your birth year (and your rising sign), according to a Chinese saying, is known as “the animal that hides in your heart.”

Roosters can be paradoxical and misunderstood, similar to the signs of Aquarius and Scorpio. They are generally attractive, organized, direct and critical. Roosters can be great performers and big personalities, can be either fantastic at handling money or bankruptcy prone, and similar to the sign of Virgo can lean more toward the puritanical in sex and love, or just more discerning and cautious. They spend money on themselves and on their wardrobes, being chic dressers, and often wearing outfits that attract attention. Even as youngsters Roosters are self-starters and fast learners, meticulous, self-disciplined and dependable. There is a sense of perfectionism with Rooster, a sincerity underneath the opinions and strong ego, and a sharp, inquisitive mind. Roosters are resilient and loyal. They prefer praise to criticism, which they don’t take well, and are no strangers to controversy.

Along with these strong traits, this feisty sign can also be demanding and egotistical, abrasive, and a compulsive worker. Rooster can be suspicious of idealism, serious and stubborn. They can get cranky when things go south, cynical, and overly self-involved without caring much for the feelings of others. There’s a quixotic air about them with quite a few idiosyncrasies. Of course to some this is only endearing. Interestingly, I’ve found in my research that a lot of millionaires are Roosters and besides all the money they have, they also possess two major rooster traits in common- being opinionated and eccentric.

The Fire Rooster, out of the five roosters, can be temperamental and inflexible, is authoritative and a strong leader, is independent, unswayed and ethical.

The Rooster gets along best with Ox and Snake, and will encounter the most conflict with Rabbit (and Rabbit ascendant), unless the Rooster has a Rabbit ascendant or vice versa.

~

We can take on the characteristics of Rooster, such as great leadership, responsibility, directness, tenacity. With the fire element present we must watch out for out of control egotism or aggression as we do our work, as fire tends to bring out the feisty side. Rooster’s approach is no nonsense and straightforward, dealing with facts and the visible head on and doing nothing half way. As we embark into 2017 and this new era of the US and the world, most people are feeling overwhelmed and confused, overcome with despair, or impassioned toward revolution, all of which are appropriate responses to current affairs. This is not a time to play small or feel too dainty to get dirty, to cling to old paradigms and our tendency to bury our heads in the sand. Instead this wake up call should incite great courage and propel us toward success. It’s a time of awakening change and of spiritual transformation. The main word for this Rooster year will be resilience.

                    ~

Famous Roosters include Steve Martin, Emperor Akihito of Japan, Quincy Jones, King Birendra of Nepal, Katharine Hepburn, Beyonce, John Glenn and Grover Cleveland.

                    ~

This year’s theme: Roost in resilience, then rise up like fire Roosters; resist and reclaim!

Wild Moon Wisdom Horoscopes

for the week of Monday, January 23 - Sunday, January 29

We are getting accustomed to the Aquarius solar cycle this week, for those not used to the energies of rebellion and cosmic insight. This Friday brings us to the auspicious reset button and new year for Aquarius, when the new moon lands in the same sign as the sun. It is a time for renewal and new intentions, especially for Aquarius suns. This new moon also signifies lunar new year, when we enter the Year of the Fire Rooster in Chinese astrology. You can feel this Fire Rooster as an invitation to rise firebird-like from the ashes of your disappointments or betrayals, and this year you can get away with more self-confidence and cockiness which will be necessary to combat the apathy and ignorance that prevail.

Also on Friday the planet of action, Mars, moves to Aries, which is home to Mars; this is the planet that rules will power, courage, aggression and sex drive. Wherever Mars is, expect a boost of energy there.

Aries & Aries Rising

We are coming off the full moon high (from last Thursday), which triggered a Grand Cross and could have made for a dramatic weekend for you, Aries. This moon in your house of home could have revealed pregnancy news or a relocation.

This Thursday the sun leaves Capricorn and heads to Aquarius, your eleventh house of friendship and technology. These next four weeks will bring out your social side, and since Mercury’s direct again you can feel good about going out more, hosting a gathering, and focusing on your friendships. Collaborate and spend time with the people you can count on most.

This week you can lighten up a bit, let your hair down and do something that brings you joy.

Taurus & Taurus Rising

Coming off of the full moon high from last Thursday, we may still be processing some of the changes or news over the weekend and into this week. The Cancer moon activated a Grand Cross bringing an excess (Jupiter) of unexpected changes or volatility (Uranus), so you may still be feeling all the feelings now.

This Thursday the sun will leave fellow earthy Capricorn and move to airy Aquarius and your house of career and recognition. The next four weeks will be all about building your material success and security. Consider your long-term plans, career goals, how to best use your talents to make a difference, and increasing your ambition. This is also the house of fathers and important men in your life, so there will certainly be something of value to learn or work on in that area.

For this week, stay focused and active, moving forward toward your dreams.

Gemini & Gemini Rising

Last week’s full Cancer moon was potent, with the Grand Cross creating more intensity than usual. You could still be processing all the emotions triggered, as well as the changes, that the moon activated. The moon was in your house of technology, community, family ties and self-expression.

Thursday we shift sun cycles as the sun moves into fellow air sign Aquarius and your ninth house of mental exploration and travel. The first weeks of this month have likely felt bleak to you, Gemini, but now you will feel your lightheartedness return. Time for a new, exciting adventure, a vacation, or maybe a new course in something obscure. Your mental pursuits and higher education will be supported now, and it may be time to take a risk.

For this week, tune into what you want in your relationships and offer that quality back.

Cancer & Cancer Rising

We are coming off of the full moon high from last Thursday, which also triggered an intense alignment that involved Jupiter (excess) and Uranus (unexpected change). It may have been a challenging weekend for you, Cancer, with this moon in your sign and making everything hyper-personal. There may have been big changes initiated.

This Thursday the sun leaves Capricorn for Aquarius, you house of death and rebirth. These upcoming four weeks will allow you to sink into your more reclusive tendencies, as this house is all about intimacy and privacy. It would be a good time to work on a creative project, or write, anything deeply personal. Your sex life will also get a boost during this time, with the sun in this sexy, seductive part of your chart.

This week you can honor your need for solitude, and for spending quality time with someone special.

Leo & Leo Rising

We are emerging from last Thursday’s full moon which also triggered an intense alignment that involved Jupiter (excess) and Uranus (change). You could still be reeling from some sort of chaos or unexpected news. The moon illuminated your intense house of endings, so you could be dealing with closure or a goodbye.

This Thursday the sun moves from Capricorn to Aquarius, your house of relationships. For four weeks your focus will shift to romance and deepening your commitments, business partnerships, and creating harmony. You could fall in love now if you’re not involved with someone, or wait until the new moon coming up to set new intentions for the kind of love you want in your life.

This week reevaluate what is most important to you and direct your attention and energy there.

Virgo & Virgo Rising

Coming off of last Thursday’s Cancer full moon, everyone is likely a little unsettled. The already emotional moon triggered a Grand Cross, or volatile alignment. Your eleventh house was activated, creating a potentially dramatic situation with friends or co-workers, with tempers flaring.

This Thursday brings another change; the sun leaves Capricorn and moves to Aquarius and your sixth house of health and service. For the next four weeks your natural skills of decluttering and organization will come in handy and are precisely what you need to use. You’ll finally be able to start checking some things off of your to-do list and get serious about your new year intentions (or resolutions).

This week, make your success a priority and organize things in your life to set you up for it.

Libra & Libra Rising

We may all still be feeling the full moon lunacy this week, after the Cancer full moon triggering a Grand Cross with the sun and Jupiter (excess) and Uranus (change) all happening in your house of career and success. You may be dealing with a big change or something ending, relocation for work, or possibly even pregnancy news.

This Thursday the sun leaves Capricorn to move into Aquarius, highlighting your fifth house of creativity and sex. For the next four weeks, love, creativity and passion are in the spotlight. This could bring a big romance your way or even a pregnancy, since this house rules fertility. In this part of your chart you’re encouraged to express yourself freely, be as seductive as you want, do what brings you joy, and you could even receive some notoriety, fame or recognition as a byproduct.

For you, let this week be about grounding and clarifying what you want as you move into this new sun cycle.

Scorpio & Scorpio Rising

We are coming off the full moon high from last Thursday’s Cancer moon which triggered a Grand Cross, or volatile alignment. The action happened in your house of mental exploration. There could be a wrench thrown into your plans for deep studies, education or long distance travel.

We have a new sun cycle beginning this Thursday, when we shift from Capricorn into Aquarius season. For the next four weeks the sun will inhabit your fourth house of home, and your attention will turn to domestic responsibilities, your family, mothers or mother-figures. This is a good time for family planning if you’re considering, and at the new moon coming up next week could bring pregnancy news.

For this week, consider what is most valuable to you and what you keep most protected, and follow your heart.

Sagittarius & Sagittarius Rising

We arrive to this week still high from Thursday’s Cancer full moon and Grand Cross that created quite a stir. The moon illuminated your intense house of spiritual transformation.

You may still be dealing with the fallout of an ending or big changes in your most intimate relationship.

On Thursday the sun leaves Capricorn and moves to air sign Aquarius, your third house of self-expression. For these next four weeks, most of your energy will be spent on family, travel and communication. This would be the perfect time to plan a trip, especially if you didn’t travel for the holidays. It could be an extremely productive period too, involving technology or collaborations or having bright ideas to bring to the table.

This week, keep the mental energy flowing and trust in your intuition and intelligence.

Capricorn & Capricorn Rising

Last Thursday’s potent full moon in Cancer created an abundance of lunacy that you still may be feeling this week. The moon was in your relationship house, and together with the sun and Jupiter and Uranus, created a Grand Cross which stirred up volatility or changes.

This Thursday the sun leaves your sign and heads to airy Aquarius for the next four weeks. This sun cycle illuminates your second house of money and possessions, turning your attention and much of your energy to financial matters, career and stability. Grow not only your financial security and material success during this time, but your mental steadfastness too. You may be at a crossroads career-wise or creatively speaking but this month use your instincts and watch for open doors.

This week consider lucrative new income ideas and go for it, and keep remembering your own self-worth.

Aquarius & Aquarius Rising

We are coming off of the lunar high of the full moon in Cancer last Thursday which triggered a Grand Cross, including your ruling planet Uranus. The moon upended your house of health, maybe causing some disturbance in your plans to get your health or fitness on track. Don’t feel discouraged- begin again.

This Thursday is the beginning of your solar return month, as the sun leaves Capricorn for your sign. Happy birthday, Water Bearer! For the next four weeks the spotlight is on you. This is your time to shine, putting yourself first, being your boldest and most outspoken, and following your deepest desires. Next week we’ll have a new moon in your sign and that’ll be our true new year beginning.

This week let go of the residue of the past so that you can invoke and create what you want.

Pisces & Pisces Rising

Coming off of the lunar high of the Cancer full moon on Thursday, you could still be processing or integrating some of the energy or changes. The already emotional moon triggered a Grand Cross which usually brings about volatility or overwhelm. Your fifth house was affected, so themes of creativity and sexual expression.

This week we leave Capricorn season on Thursday when the sun heads into Aquarius and your twelfth house of closure. This is the time for you to rest and prepare for your solar return coming up next month. For the next four weeks your attention will turn to self-care, karma, and letting go of any self-imposed limitations or self-undoing behavior. It’s your time for deep rest and spiritual understanding.

This week, allow yourself extra space and solitude, maybe even taking a spa day to pamper.

Aquarius Full Moon + Guru Purnima + Lammas

In the early morning hours on Friday, July 31 at 3:43am PDT, we have a Full Moon in Aquarius. This is the second full moon of the month, and also corresponds with two new moons in Aquarius that happened earlier this year.
It can be a powerful weekend to clear and release what has been hindering your growth or squelching your freedom, and to assert your desires and your own wild nature, realigning with your inner will and knowledge. Individuality and original authenticity are emphasized.

Aquarius is a fixed air sign, ruled by the planet Uranus (modern ruler), the planet of change and unpredictability, the unconventional and disruption. It rules electricity and modern science as well as inventions. This sign is symbolized by the Water Bearer, pouring out the waters of wisdom and knowledge for humanity. When the moon is in Aquarius, a sign of rational thinking, logic, and humanitarianism, altruistic qualities are enhanced as well as intuition and imagination, sensitivity and heightened perception. Aquarius moon encourages more idealism, creativity, tolerance, a visionary outlook, but can also bring some unpredictability and aloofness, as well as a fixed opinion. This is the sign of the future, knowledge, clairvoyance, the unusual.

The Aquarius full moon is the second full moon of July. And even more importantly, it corresponds to two New Moons in Aquarius at the beginning of this year. So there will be some sense of completion or ending of a cycle that began during the new moons of the first of the year. The same day as the full moon, Venus, planet of love and worth, moves into Leo. And it is considered to be Lunar Lammas, the astrological Lammas, a time of gathering together. In addition, on this same day it is Guru Purnima, or the full moon of the guru, a time set aside to honor and celebrate our gurus, Teachers and teachers, the teachings and lineage we are aligned with, and the Adi Guru (supreme guru) and Guru Tattva (guru principle in the universe).

Celtic and Northern European Pagans celebrate Lammastide from sunset on August 1 until sunrise on August 2. This is a time to pause and remember the seeds sown, literally and figuratively. We savor the last long days of summer before reaping the fruits of our labor, the harvest. It is a time to reflect and offer gratitude, with themes around health, hearth and home. Lugh, the Sun god, is honored and the first grains are harvested and baked into a loaf of bread, seen as the bread of life. The grains symbolize the cycles of death and rebirth and those gods that die and are resurrected.

Throw into the fire your regrets and those things you are releasing from your heart or life. Contemplate what you want to harvest as summer begins to come to a close. Honor the mysteries and magic of this day. Have a feast to celebrate.

Venus Goes into the Underworld

Venus is the planet of love and relationships, beauty, value and self-worth, money, attraction, also jealousy and possessiveness, seduction, flirtation, self-love, affection, pleasure, how we adorn and beautify ourselves and our surroundings. Venus as archetype is the goddess of love, and as such rules over what and how we love, what we value, how we want to be loved, and what we find beautiful.

Venus turns retrograde every eighteen months.The personal planets (including Mercury, Mars and Venus) have shorter retrogrades compared to the outer planets, which spend much of their time in retrograde cycles. When a planet is retrograde it means that from earth’s viewpoint the planet is seemingly moving backward. During a retrograde cycle the archetypal energy of the planet is exaggerated on the station days (when the planet is turning retrograde or direct) and then it is turned inward deeply and experienced inside rather than expressed outwardly. Retrogrades are times for review and reevaluation, not a time to take direct action or make big decisions but rather a time of contemplation, inquiry and self-reflection.

Venus will be retrograde from July 25 - September 6, beginning in the sign of Virgo but with most of the cycle in the sign of Leo. Leo acts as the child of the zodiac, being the most impetuous, playful, and childlike, and is a self-focused sign (along with Aries). Leo also represents the heart. Venus is the planet that relates to all things heart-related. Leo is a boisterous and dramatic sign, and while retrograde Venus is shy and introspective, but the emphasis of the cycle will be on heart matters.

Self-love is the biggest and most important theme, to be explored honestly and re-ignited if necessary. As we all know, self-love is the only place to begin if we want true, healthy, extraordinary love in this life. As a “me” sign, Leo can often turn self-love into self-obsession (no one loves Leo more than Leo as they say) but when done mindfully, Leo can teach this concept of directing love and appreciation to oneself in a healthy, non-narcissistic way. This takes practice for most.

For this cycle we will be compelled to do some deep digging into our desires, needs, and wants. Everything related to love and money will be up for review during this time. During these next weeks we are called to look deeply at what we value in relationships and life. Are our desires and our actions in alignment? We will think about how much we value people, relationships, things and situations in life and if it is worth it or not. How do we want to be treated in relationship? What are our most heart-felt desires?

It isn’t recommended to make luxury purchases during this time, or to begin a new relationship. Most couples working with an astrologer will not plan a wedding during a Venus retrograde cycle. Since retrogrades encourage review, past loves and exes will often return during this time; this could be for closure and healing, for a reminder of why you are no longer together, or for a reconciliation depending on the circumstances. It may be time to reconnect. Use discernment and turn inside to your inner wisdom to help guide you here.

The last Venus retrograde cycle was December 21, 2013 - January 31, 2014. And the longer Venus cycle takes us back to eight years ago. If you can remember back to significant issues during those times you will have an idea of the themes or energy of the current cycle.

This is a time to reevaluate our thoughts, beliefs, and attitudes around self-worth, love and relationships, money, looking deeply into our hearts and shadows, reactions and patterns regarding these issues. It can be an important time of self-reflection birthing new insights and even healing around core wounds and issues if done with intention.

In esoteric and shamanic terms, during this cycle Venus descends into the Underworld and will transition from Evening Star to Morning Star, undergoing a profound transformation. We too will make this journey at some point in life if we have not already. We will be stripped, laid bare, all established personality and persona dissolved as we leave behind everything we are and everything we know and enter the mystery, enduring metaphorical death, and eventually emerging changed forever.

Make a self-love altar, complete with rose quartz, rhodonite, and red wine, and sit at it daily to reassert your heart’s desire and intention to yourself. Feel your connection to the cosmos and the earth. You belong. Your heart can begin to unfold, whether it feels strong or broken. Let self-honoring seep into your bones and belly then rise into your heart.

May this cycle be a blessing of authentic self-revelation and the beginning of a genuine sense of falling in love with your Self.

Capricorn Full Moon ~ You are Whole

July begins with a Full Moon in Capricorn (Wednesday at 7:19pm PDT).

In astrology, the Moon represents our emotions, what we treasure in our hearts, intuition, instinctive knowing and behavior, the unconscious, our depths, our animalistic side, our innermost selves.

The Sun in Cancer opposes this Full Moon in Capricorn. These two signs are polar opposites; typically Cancer represents the archetype of the Mother in astrology and Capricorn, the archetype of the Father. While watery Cancer represents home and family life, earthy Capricorn is the sign of public image and reputation out in the world. With Cancer we connect with our emotions and with Capricorn the focus is on purpose and duty. We can explore this polarity and find a balance between taking care of ourselves, our loved ones, valuing domesticity and asserting ourselves in the public sphere, interacting with purpose, enacting our duty and dharma in life. We can contemplate how we feel nurtured and at home inside ourselves and how we offer our unique gifts out into the world.

With the Cancer/Capricorn axis, this Moon emphasizes the theme of home. Home is that familiar place where we are safe and feel comfortable, where we can feel nurtured and relaxed, and most importantly, where we can be ourselves unapologetically and be accepted. Hopefully. If that is not your current reality you may certainly feel a heaviness in your heart or that longing to belong on this full moon, but you can work with the lunar energies. Hold a vision in your mind’s eye of what you would like to see manifest with regard to feeling secure and nested in a home that’s right for you, with people who love and appreciate you. And turn inside to the hearth of your heart. Remember that you belong.

Capricorn’s influence brings a stabilizing effect to the changing moon. There is a sense of seriousness, responsibility and determination associated with Capricorn. Capricorn moon can bring more rigidity, pessimism and materialism, but also more discipline, patience and commitment. There is a quality of authority and self-reliance with the moon in this sign. This aspect of the Full Moon emphasizes the theme of purpose. Purpose, duty, and dharma, what we are meant to do, what our work is, will be examined and reflected upon. We will be reminded to be steadfast, that we are self-sovereign, and that we are capable of handling the tasks at hand.

We also have Venus, which rules love, beauty and money conjunct Jupiter, which expands everything and provides opportunities. This aspect can bring some sweetness and positivity.

Then there’s Mars. Mars is connected to this Full Moon, which could show us where we are being overly forceful and where we could be more assertive in certain areas of life and how we go about ensuring that we feel safe and nurtured. It could also arouse passive aggressive tendencies in ourselves and others. Under this influence, people can be inclined to project, to put blame onto another, to shame, to be deceiving, to bottle up feelings until they explode. And if there are buried anger, resentments, or pain built up inside unchecked, it is possible that the harsh, dominating, violent war-like qualities of Mars can emerge.

For this Full Moon, let your emotions be felt fully; let tears flow or howls be unleashed or elation bubble up from deep inside. This is lunacy, the art of being possessed by the moon... unbridled, instinctual expression. Do not suppress your feelings and expressions for fear they are unladylike or unmanly or not pretty. Don’t be pretty. Be real. Be radically vulnerable and infinitely strong. Make a commitment to embrace unreasonable authenticity, even if it makes you unpopular or coaxes you to stand alone. There is a tribe of deep-feeling souls, spread out in far flung places. There are those that see you for Who You Are and what you offer, appreciate your oddness or boldness, await your next contribution. Believe in your instincts and embrace your intuition. This moon reminds you that you are already whole.

Summer Solstice :: Light a Fire in Your Heart

Saturday, June 20 brings Midsummer Eve, an evening of flickering candles and divination, mugwort and deep dreams. Sunday, June 21 is Summer Solstice (in the Northern hemisphere) or Litha - the pinnacle and purna (fullness) of the Light, the triumphant day of the Sun, the longest day and shortest night of the year. Astrologically, Solstice is initiated when the sun moves into 0 degrees Cancer, which will occur at 9:38am PDT on Sunday. This is a day of radiance, luminosity, and boundless tejas (radiance, brightness).

The great and shining Sun reaches its perfection and fullness, and in a moment’s time we head into the dark half of the year. It will still be summer for quite some time, but we know that the light wanes and the darkness builds. This is the wheel of the year, turning once again…
Our lives, when aligned with nature’s way, pulse in this same way.

We are in familiar territory; life is constantly shifting and changing, bringing beauty and challenges, and there’s always more. That is the promise of life: the promise that there will always be more, more of everything. When I am asked what is happening astrologically, I say, “Everything. All the time.” And it’s true. This is happening in your lives as well, the unfolding and releasing, invoking and establishing. There is a constant pulsing of life flowing, waxing and waning, expanding and contracting. The Great Creatrix blinking us into into being, disappearing us, and bringing us back again. Birth, death, rebirth. We have an intimate understanding of this experience living life as householders on a path, navigating the exquisite and terrifying, holding the midline of ourselves and our sadhana (true spiritual practice).

Many are going through big changes at this time, some unexpected, and the enormity of the destabilization and confusion can be overwhelming. This is a time of immense amplification and acceleration. Some of you may feel like you’ve been startled by sudden change, your shell cracked open, your paradigm shifting. Remember to hold the midline and trust, even in the uncontrollable changes that seem to be devouring you. Shakti, the creative potency of the Universe is reorganizing you, and your life. This can feel uncomfortable, even unbearable, but through our practices we are becoming more skilled at allowing every circumstance of life to take us into the molten radiance of our hearts. That is yoga. It takes time and in the midst of it it isn’t pretty, it doesn’t feel good, and sometimes there is nothing to do but let the feelings and energies wash over you as though standing under a powerful waterfall. Feel everything. Try to stay rooted, in your belly and bones, with your heart open in radical vulnerability, and hold on. Love yourself fiercely and allow your compassion to turn inward as a new practice. Make art with your tears and frustrations, dig your fingers and toes into the black earth to ground, and remember that you belong. Light a fire in your heart. More will unfold- there’s more to the story.

On this Solstice, make a date with the Sun, bask in the warmth and relish the sunshine. The fullness of the light breaks into the beginning of the dark in its ancient way. At sunset say goodbye to the Sun disappearing into the sea, to be reborn in the sky on Winter Solstice. Late Sunday evening, light a candle and renew your commitments and offer your blessings. Bow to the golden radiance that burns brightly inside your own shining heart. 

Bright blessings,

KK

Mabon Magic

September 22, 2014 marks the Autumnal Equinox in the Northern Hemisphere. Equinox means "equal night" and this is a time when the Light and Dark are in balance. We hold within us both the beautiful darkness and the light, the asuras and the devas. When we honor both without suppression or condemnation, a great healing can occur, and our Truest Nature begins to stir and climb out of dormancy. When we welcome ourselves, our wholeness, we invite an intimacy with evolution and reclamation of what has been lost. The Sun leaves orderly and analytical Virgo for balance-seeking Libra at 9:29pm CST/ 7:29pm PST. This day is Pagan Thanksgiving, a holy day in the Wheel of the Year that some of us have honored with deep reverence for a long time, a time to give thanks, offer gratitude for our blessings, for the fruits of our labor, for the abundance of the harvest both literally and figuratively. Libra is represented by the scales, and longs to find balance and justice in all areas of life.  Libra is also concerned with relationships of all kinds and finding ways to be in alignment with love, relating, connecting, and our own desires. This is a good time to reflect on where you've gotten of f track, out of alignment with your deepses desires. You can readjust and realign in all areas, especially your relationships. Reflect deeply on lessons learned, acknowledging loss and betrayal as well as triumphs and victories. Contemplate the beginnings and endings and re-beginnings of all things in life. Articulate a ritual that will invoke and manifest the dreams hidden inside your heart, seeking balance and equanimity while honoring the radical upheavals inherent in a householder sadhana lifestyle. Remember and hold on to the midline...

Pluto, Lord of the Underworld, stations direct this evening. This exaggerates the energies of this big entity, so themes of death, rebirth, and transformation will be highlighted. The Moon is currently waning, allowing for us a confrontation with the Dark, and on Tuesday evening or early Wednesday morning we have a New Moon in Libra. This invites new beginnings and starting a new endeavor or ideas with increased clarity. Invoke and activate balance in your own being and life. Surrender if necessary to the pull into the Underworld, for in the Darkness, ultimately, we are healed, cooked, and nourished.

Blessed be ~*~

Beltane Blessings

* Repost from previous post: The Wheel of the Year turns once again, moving us forward into the light. The hearth/home fires are extinguished and re-lit for Beltane (“bright fire”). If we don’t have a bonfire or campfire to dance around, we can light a fire in our home cauldron, or a beeswax candle, and hop over it with a heart full of  inspiration and deep wishes, for protection and good luck. Traditionally, cattle were driven through two great balefires for purification, fertility and prosperity. People danced in the smoke from the flames for the same reason, and there was dancing around the maypole. Lovers frolicked and made love in the fields and gardens to bless the land. We can honor this day in the same way. This fire festival is a celebration of fertility and passion, revelry in sexuality and sensuality. The fire that purifies and clears also ignites and inspires. Beltane invokes sparks of creativity and new abundance, fertility and frolicking, celebration and creation, praises and pleasure.  May we feel the irresistible desire to make beauty and live artfully.  May we enjoy embodiment as a sacred pleasure treasure. - 

Entering the Eclipse Portal

The Eclipse Portal for 2014 is opening and energies are building. On April 15 we have a lunar eclipse with the Full Moon in Libra (25°) at 2:47am CST/ 12:47am PDT. The sister eclipse happens at the New Moon in Taurus, a solar eclipse on April 28 (1:04am CST/ 11:04pm PDT). This is just days before Beltane. Eclipses are activators and initiators. They shake us up and zap us out of default patterns. Things are often set in motion or dissolved. Like a power surge or jolt of electricity, eclipses can shift us around inside, shatter parts of us or our lives, and this is not usually comfortable. The energies are intense. In the eclipse portal, our thoughts and deepest desires will be magnified, whether they are conscious or not. This is why I have always (playfully) implemented a "no whining zone" with my students during these portals. Think of this time as entering a portal in which what your heart aches for, your bones long for, your thinking invokes… is all magnified and then magnetized to you powerfully. So it is a time to be conscious of our thoughts and patterns, our internal matrika, and what we're holding as a vision and a feeling in our heads and hearts. You will conjure.

As I have written before, to work with these potent, charged energies, clarify for yourself what you intend to have activated, what area of your life you might need revelation and understanding. Set an intention. Be prepared to have a big shift, but know that it takes up to six months for the eclipse to cycle out, so the aspect of life that was shifted may not be revealed until then. Eclipses cycle in 18-19 year patterns. We had a similar portal (with a lunar Libra eclipse at 25°  and then a Taurus eclipse) 19 years ago, and so the work you'll do during this cycle is likely connected somehow to that time period. You can look at your natal chart to find where you have 25° Libra to see where it hits you.

The Full Moon in Libra will bring out lunacy around issues of being indecisive and changeable, loving with your head rather than your heart, and trying to please and be everything to everyone. Venus rules both Libra and Taurus, where we'll have our Solar eclipse in a few weeks. Venus is love and beauty and money, and rules pleasure and love affairs and adornment. How deep is your self-love, where do you abandon yourself, where do you become a martyr or tyrant in love… and how can you bring forward the clearest expression of yourself in love.

Tuesday's eclipse will follow Pluto, Lord of the Underworld, station retrograde on Monday. Pluto is death and transformation and rebirth. Pluto's station calls us into the darkness, as this is the planet of annihilation and transformation, endings and beginnings. In the darkness we are devoured by the Great Mother, always to return with more radical wisdom. Pluto's gift is to help us to churn, to bring to the surface all the shards of brokenness and pain that live inside us, and in the churning there is transmutation. Alchemy happens.

The end of April, between the two eclipses, also brings us an encounter with the Grand Cardinal Cross. This alignment consists of Uranus in Aries and Pluto in Capricorn meeting up with Mars in Libra and Jupiter in Cancer (these are all Cardinal signs). These interactions are also volcanic in nature, initiating big changes and inviting confrontation with long repressed issues.

When experiencing an eclipse, we must learn to look honestly at the shadow parts of ourselves and where the participating planets are placing our focus, on those shadow aspects. Eclipses literally eclipse the light and create shadows… illumination is obscured. We must know that even immersed in the darkness, our luminous consciousness pulses within. As Tantrikas, we are never afraid of the dark. The darkness is our teacher. We adjust our eyes and can see far more than previously experienced.

There is always healing and transformation during these times of potency and intensity. The eclipse portal can be a gateway into your own truth and power.  Magnetize those forces  that bring blessings. Be clear and unwavering in your invocations and intentions. Conjure and call to you a deep prayer from your heart. Receive an eclipse initiation ~ a diksha from the Cosmos.

Scorpio Full Moon Eclipse

On Thursday we have a full moon in Scorpio and a partial lunar eclipse. Scorpio is ruled by Pluto, known as the Lord of the Underworld, ruling over death and deathlike transformations. And rebirth. There are powerful forces and energies swirling  around us right now. Full moons are already powerful, and Scorpio full moons are generally more intense (and uncomfortable) than most. Add to that an eclipse; eclipses are activators, they set things in motion, or dissolve things, or initiate things. An eclipse is like a zap of electricity or a power surge- they can create chaos and instigate change and generally shake people up. With the Scorpio influence, its likely that we could be pushed to the limits, we could feel a resurfacing of the very depths that we keep hidden inside, we could have more of ourselves revealed to us, more truth exposed, more of what has been kept away, more purging of the psyche.

Eclipses amplify and magnify and activate. To work with these potent, charged energies, clarify for yourself what you intend to have activated, what area of your life you might need revelation and understanding. Set an intention. Be prepared to have a big shift, but know that it takes up to six months for the eclipse to cycle out, so the aspect of life that was shifted may not be revealed until then.

There can always be healing that takes place in these times of epic change and turmoil. Death always gives way to rebirth. The process can rip us apart, but we can gather the pieces and create a mosaic with the shards of our brokenness. We can turn pain into beauty, churn difficulties into nectar. But first we must feel them, totally, entirely, intensely. This is Pluto's gift.

Let this eclipse portal be a gateway into your own intensity, to have the truth revealed to you, so that you can be uncompromising in the way you live life, so that you can magnetize those forces  that bring blessings, so you can rest in the wholeness of your brokenness and know that you will  rise. Kali is devouring us with love.
