Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween

Halloween is the time you can see through the veil, or shadow, to gain a greater understanding of the dark. What’s in the dark? Whatever keeps you in a self-sabotaging pattern. All self-sabotage comes from unacknowledged fear and shame. You may ACT and TALK like you’re secure and in control, but if you’re not really sure deep inside, over time this builds toxic emotions like resentment, anger, jealousy. Ya’ know, the dark stuff.

Scorpio is a symbol for release, recycling, and rebirth. How do you keep your angry feelings alive? What stories do you tell yourself to prove that fanning the flames of your anger is justified? Do you disown what you don’t like about yourself and pin it on someone else? Because, duh, you’d never do THAT. Anger is all based in fear. We get angry AFTER we feel fear. But instead of feeling safe saying we feel fear, we get angry. Scorpio is the time we can look at our fears, see them for what they are, and let them go…

Trick o’ Treat
When the veil is the thinnest, we have access to our ancestors– just to visit. The treats you give the trick o’ treaters are symbolic treats that honor your ancestors.

Halloween is the last day of Mercury is Retrograde in Libra, while dreamy Neptune stations Direct on Halloween. And Mercury will station Direct in Libra (23 Libra 22) on All Saints Day, November 1. Mercury and Neptune appear to be in an approaching trine. But since Mercury will station Direct, it will not become exact. This is the time to let your imagination out of the box. To achieve balance and harmony while Mercury is direct in Libra, give your creative vision fair representation. On this Halloween, use your ingenuity to unmask your subconscious. Let your imagination be free! Mercury stations Direct tomorrow, All Saints Day, and then you can write down your visions and put your ideas on paper. Meanwhile, on this Halloween, it’s time to give your imagination a night to remember.

Happy Halloween!

Got it! Saturn and Virgo

Filed under: astrology — inspiredastrology @ 8:49 am

Hi,
I honor your decision to purchase or not purchase any of my reports or readings. Many of my viewers tell me they already know themselves, so they don’t need any further guidance.

I disagree. I think we are ALL WAYS developing, it is never complete and it continues…. Even if you are enlightened, you can extend your good feelings to help others.

I think we do live in an increasingly enlightened world. Increasingly, more people are more enlightened. And more people who are interested in higher-Self development are using more tools and accessing more information probably than ever before in history. People who are interested in astrology can buy software, books, and surf endless websites discussing every “aspect” of astrology. And most of it is at no cost to the viewer. So unless a writer is affiliated with a corporation or an organization or is also selling books, there is no room for the writer, except to keep writing. Even the NY Times stopped selling subscriptions, it’s not something people feel they should be have to pay for. And with so much available, they’re right! I love what i do. Yet, until i have something i can share that is salable, i cannot justify continuing to write this site and blog every day. It is a 50/60 hour a week commitment, that i joyfully make. I am sorry i’m not a professional copywriter and i can’t write mesmerizing ad copy that sells. I will try to study that art. Regardless of the future of artcharts, i love writing and will always find a way to share, even if it’s not every day and i no longer make calendars.

You see, i really believe all the positive messages i write. And i fully honor everyone’s decisions to purchase or not purchase anything from this website. It’s all good. Really, it is. EVERYTHING nudges us to where we have to be.

In all seriousness, as Saturn sits on my Moon, I cannot afford to give and not receive. It’s not in balance and it’s on me find a way to give AND receive.

Keep in mind, Saturn is in Virgo, and will station Rx and therefore remain in early Virgo through Spring 2008. And Fall 2008 there’s a Saturn-Uranus opposition, exact on Election Day. This is clean-up time. This is time to pay attention to the dirt so you can get the dirt out. You cannot be “in the light” if you have not resolved your shadow. You can’t just read something and think “that’s it, i’m healed”. You have to LOOK at your shadow, feel it, accept it, even love it. And since this is SATURN in Virgo, this is best done with the guidance of an expert or professional.

Saturn in Virgo reminds us, there is work to do, every day. And routine becomes ritual in Virgo.

And so my fellow Saturn-in-Libra’s, after the clean-up in Virgo, we will be called upon to lead the way to create peace and balance. What do you need to clean up over the next 2 years?

with MUCH Love&Light,
Lauren

Trick or Treat? The Adventures of a Disseminating Moon

Filed under: astrology,disseminating moon,mercury direct,mercury retrograde,moon,neptune,neptune direct — inspiredastrology @ 7:31 pm

As the Moon transits Gemini (Sunday and Monday, October 28 and 29) becoming the Disseminating Moon predawn on Monday (4:13 am edt), she completes a Mutable Grand Square. This Moon transit can personalize the side effects of this week’s Venus-Jupiter square and Jupiter-Neptune sextile. Venus and Jupiter are both square Uranus in Pisces, and the transiting Moon fills in the 4th leg of the square– creating a Mutable Grand Square that echoes the Mutable Grand Square of the recent Solar Eclipse on September 11, 2007 (see blogs below). Tension builds, something needs to improve, yet overindulging can fill you up with all the wrong things. The need to succeed and create abundance can feel stalled; is this a calling or an impossible dream? There is a release valve. It’s your intuition.

Jupiter has been square Uranus all of 2007, so you may feel that your luck is being tested, or that you want to change your luck. You want to grow, if only everyone would support it! There is help, if you’re willing to be open to your dreams and intuition.

On Halloween, Nepune stations Direct. There is access to your subconscious exactly at the time the veil is the thinnest. This is an open invitation to delve into your inner self. Jupiter is sextile Neptune this week (exact Nov 1 at 12:01 am edt) and Mercury stations Direct the night of Nov 1. To get past the feeling that everything you want is an impossible dream and you “should” keep your full attention on reality, that will only bring more of the same things. Why not try shifting your focus to what makes you feel better. Notice where you have succeeded, give more thought to what you want to happen next. If you contradict every positive thought you have, you are focused on what you don’t want, and continue to attract more of the same. Change takes planning and the willingness to do something differently. As Jupiter sextiles Neptune, taking one step in a positive direction can lead to a thought shift you may have never been able to see — until now.

Mercury stations DIRECT on November 1st. This is Halloween followed by All Saints Day, when the veil between the worlds of the senses and the extrasensory is the thinnest. And as dreamy Neptune stations Direct along with Mercury, this the time to take what you learn from your inner guidance and manifest your dreams and desires– start by putting it in writing. What are the steps you need to take? Write it down. Having a dream or hoping for the best is a great start. Now it’s time to draft your proposals, write your resume, detail your plans, follow up on your requests. Don’t just wish it and feel frustrated when it doesn’t happen. What actions are you INSPIRED to take? Making any intentional movement to reach out and connect can be the ripple that starts something big. Let something wonderful grow.

in Love&Light,
Lauren
