Today’s Astrology Horoscope (for all signs)
Today is the Last Quarter Moon (in Sagittarius).
Venus conjoins Uranus (from Io Transit Forecast)
“Under this influence an unorthodox or less-than-traditional partnership or alliance may be on the agenda; proposed either by you or to you. Romantic or social contacts may be the inspiration to adopt highly unique methods to achieve common goals. The social scene you encounter at this time can inspire the spirit of egalitarianism in you, or you may be the one that engenders others with such an attitude. Unless negative circumstances happen to occur to spoil the potential, this may be a fortuitous period for establishing friendship and coordinating group activities. Those viewed by most of society as different or eccentric may be the very individuals you find appealing. In turn others may be attracted to you for the characteristics that make you different or unique. Art and music you encounter now are not likely to follow along traditional lines.”
Another interpretation, or lesson, from Venus conjoining Uranus is to be more conscious of your money. Venus rules money. Uranus is about consciousness. I just got an email from a trusted source saying that big companies are using a creative concept called “forced continuity” to charge you monthly for something you thought was a one-time purchase. Are you being included in a group that costs monthly? If you don’t want to be fooled, read what you sign and check your billing statements! What you get “for free” may not be!
Here’s a chart for the conjunction of Venus and Uranus

This weekend Mercury and Jupiter unite in the sky. This is NOT the weekend to look for faults and point fingers of blame!!! You can easily find faults that are meaningless and grow them into mountains. NO! This is the time to tell a few jokes, have a good laugh, enjoy the company and conversation of good friends and upstanding citizens. It’s the time to express, in words, your gratitude for the abundance you enjoy and share your gifts. Share your stories of success.
Here’s a chart for the conjunction of Mercury and Jupiter this weekend:
mercury conjunct jupiter, march 7, 2010
Mercury conjuncts Jupiter once a year, promising a time of optimism. This can be a time to see the big picture and make big plans, like continuing your education or taking a long trip. Yet, this year, the Mercury-Jupiter conjunction makes no aspects to any other planets. While you can be filled with positive words and ideas, they may not connect with anything or lead to the high hopes they seem to promise.

February 27, 2010
Sunday’s FULL MOON is a peak of AMPLIFICATION. Whatever is happening, expect a lot more of it!
It can be an opportunity— or you can be an opportunist! Grabbing way more than your “fair” share, because after all, when it comes to you, why limit yourself!!!
Full Moons illuminate oppositions. This Full Moon (in Virgo-Pisces) amplifies the distinction between hoping something works out– and KNOWING something will work out. We hear that the Law of Attraction only returns what you send, you receive what you send vibrationally. If you are sending hopes and wishes because you are lacking something you want, you will continue to receive the lack you feel. Because that is how you are vibrating.
There is a big difference in how you feel– and how you vibrate– when you hope for something and when you KNOW you have to make something work. When you KNOW, you make a choice. You are open to your intuition. You search for new ideas. You ask for help along the way. You easily find the energy to go the extra distance and you feel rewarded for going there. Your mind and body are aligned.
And to get from hoping and knowing, there is one magical ingredient this Full Moon can provide– inspiration.
This Full Moon shows us there is an opportunity to be successful– if we go the distance. If we are hoping and wishing, we can expect to continue to hope and wish. Yet, this Full Moon can illuminate the difference between wishing and knowing something so well, you do it. Be encouraged! This is a graduation Full Moon;-)
This Full Moon can also illuminate and highlight cultural differences, expose prejudges, and amplify disagreements.
Here’s a chart for the Full Moon on Sunday, February 28
full moon on february 28, 2010
Read the symbols using artcharts
LEGEND
If you’re ready for the next level of your life, this can be a graduation Full Moon. You can flow effortlessly into new worlds of abundant prosperity and limitless love and success— IF and only if your generosity is genuine. If you are scheming and trying to grab more while others are busy giving generously, that is assurance that you will fail in a way that take you further from your hopes for success– only because you appropriated success from someone else and didn’t share your own offering or enjoy your own experience or live up to your own potential.
If you’re not living the life you dream about, if there are just too many blocks and things and people in the way, how can you more authentically and realistically fulfill your Self and find the happiness you so deserve and are ready for right now!

Last Week’s Astrology odds and ends (for all signs)
Sunday morning’s FULL MOON is a peak of AMPLIFICATION. Whatever is happening, expect a lot more of it!
This weekend, Mercury will conjunct Neptune. Dreams and intuitions contain the real instant messages now. The question is, how can you be more open to your inner vision? And you’re not done there! Once you open to your spiritual self, how can you share your insights?
If you can trust your dream-teacher, or imagination, you can give and receive inspiration that can give you new information and energy– because you’re going with the flow as opposed to feeling blocked and having to fight your way through everything. There is a message trying to come through dreams and imagination this week that can give you inspiration— the natural attitude adjustment. Your trust and generosity can come back to you– if you can be open to it. And today you can find new ways to open to your intuition.
Anyway, that’s how it looks “on paper”, and that’s what your “normal” astro stuff site will say— although when this aspect is exact in the sky, the Moon opposes in Leo. So it is very easy for our egos, unchecked and unbalanced with the rest of ourSelves, not to believe a word of what our dreams, intuitions, and spiritual guides are trying to say.
Unlike opportunity, inspiration doesn’t knock loud. It kinda hangs around, hovering, and if you tune in, you get it. Otherwise, it drifts off….. If you don’t use inspiration, inspiration moves on. It is in search of a channel who is willing to believe in it and use it as a resource. If you don’t value the inspiration you receive because it doesn’t seem to be instantly valuable, you can miss out on a brilliant idea or genius upgrade this week! Or even an abundant windfall.
Here’s a chart for the Gibbous Moon on Thursday:

LEGEND
My mind is continually blown (made more aware) by the perfection of astrological timing! Yet, it takes working with astrology to know when things are normal and when they are off the chart! I work with astrology every day, so I can quickly bring clarity and perspective to otherwise murky situations! Like the approaching FULL MOON in Virgo-Pisces being an opportunity to extend your generosity and confirm your faith in abundance!

Last Week’s Astrology odds and ends (for all signs)
Tonight’s First Quarter Moon can reveal secret information that unlocks golden opportunities!
You can take care of practical matters and succeed in more ways than you ever imagined– especially if you’re genuine and generous.
Many of us know the meanings of the signs and planets and get a general sense when we hear the Sun has entered Pisces. It is like entering a dream state. But when it comes to an interpretation that can truly provide useful guidance, that can be lost…. It takes someone working with the material on a daily/weekly/yearly basis to bring full understanding. Without that, we may get a gist or a whiff, but nothing we can fully understand or use to our benefit.
Here’s a chart for the Sun entering Pisces on February 18, 2010:
sun enters pisces
As Mars continues to move Retrograde (backwards) through Leo, it creates an ongoing double Yod with Saturn, Pluto, and Jupiter. And this Yod will stay in effect for about a month and a half — until Mars makes its Direct station and starts moving forward on March 10…. On Valentine’s Day, Venus (and the Moon) joined the double Yod. It’s a time when we can be tested to see how generous or greedy we need to be– and the results can be extremely karmic. Changey needs to happen. Hopey too. And if it doesn’t we need to look at ourselves, not blame others. So we can expect bigger problems! And from our big, positive thinkers, bigger and better solutions.

Many viewers tell me they use the free astrology sites to get their transits. This is great! We are becoming more astrologically aware, and more aware of our own behavior. There are sites that give you a long list of all your transits. If you’re really not busy, you can search around all day doing this! But here’s the problem. You see a long list of aspects. Cool! You start reading them. Ok, this one seems to pertain, and this one doesn’t. So you think, astrology isn’t all that accurate! However, it takes someone who looks at charts all the time to know if an transit is normal or something quite exceptional that needs to be noted. Without context or perspective, you don’t know if you’re even looking at the right transits!!! It could be that what seems like a BIG aspect makes NO impact on your chart. Or, a very small sesquisquare (135 degree aspect) to the Moon can snap you in half! It depends on what the transits are doing to your entire chart, your progressed chart, your solar arc directions, as well as all midpoints. It is especially helpful to look at a biwheel chart for the exact moment a transit perfects, called horary, and see how that chart reads both ways. Often, a transit that seems very promising on paper, turns out to be nothing much. Or, something “scary” is really a golden opportunity! When viewers ask me which reports they “need” and I give them a list, they think I am trying to rip them off. However, when I give a reading, I (or any astrologer) will look at all that material and much more. Reading a chart requires knowledge and focus. If you are relying on simple generic statements to answer your serious concerns, you are grasping at straws and can find yourself disappointed. Don’t blame astrology! There is a lot more to it than your sun sign horoscope or reading a list of transiting aspects. There is still no substitute for the perspective of an experienced human.
The Sun is transiting in Pisces. Time for all our hearts to grow a few sizes;-)))) All your wealth and treasures are yours and yours alone. But… if you don’t have the bank password, all that wealth is a nice thought that doesn’t buy anything!

Interesting chart observation: Mercury is and has been unaspected for awhile. The Moon made a quick sextile to Mercury yesterday, making it easier to connect both dots and people. But since Mercury has been in Aquarius and past the trine to Saturn, there are no major aspects it will make. Interpretation?!? It is really hard to make connections at this time. And, you can go to extremes of thought, since it is harder to find people to share your ideas and bounce them around.

Last Week’s Astrology Odds&Ends (for all signs)
Happy Valentine’s Day!
As the Moon moves closer to Venus and Jupiter, this is a day to celebrate LOVE!!! Feel it and share it!
Overnight was the New Moon in Aquarius. This is a true make-a-wish New Moon.
It’s time to upgrade something major in your tech life — now! Learn a new way to connect. Start a new trend! Social network.
What you learn now may be a stretch– but after the learning curve, you can find fun, profit, and friends!
For the first time since December 5, Mercury changed signs and entered Aquarius this week. New ideas abound and everyone gets the chance to speak their new ideas.
As Mars continues to move Retrograde (backwards) through Leo, it creates a double Yod with Saturn, Pluto, and Jupiter. And this Yod will stay in effect for about a month and a half — until Mars makes its Direct station and starts moving forward…. For Valentine’s Day, Venus joins the double Yod. It’s a time when we can be tested to see how generous or greedy we need to be– and the results can be extremely karmic. Changey needs to happen. Hopey too. And if it doesn’t we need to look at ourselves, not blame others. So we can expect bigger problems! And from our big, positive thinkers, bigger and better solutions.
Here’s a chart for the double Yod. Only the Yod aspects are visible. This Yod will be in effect through Spring 2010. Venus joins for Valentine’s Day
double yod chart on feb 9, 2010
In our “everything-costs-too-much” culture, things that are FREE are FUN!! What a relief!!! Yet, every time we get something for “FREE” someone did not get paid. Most of the “FREE” offers I get sound great– they are from smart marketers looking to sell me something VERY expensive– even after I bought something that I thought was expensive!!! Meanwhile, it can seem like I got enough information, even if I only got one small part of a big picture. Many of us are just looking for hints and clues to bring into our own meditations. Giving away things for FREE is a choice. It can also be stimulated by market competition. The current double Yod pattern including Mars, Pluto, Saturn, and Jupiter shows us that we may not GET everything we want directly. Since we are asked to pay more and more for our basic needs, getting something back for nothing seems like something we deserve. Yet, the attitude of deserving and expecting keeps us like children, looking for big people to take care of us. We are the big people! What about the gifts each of us can share. How can each of us give something, even indirectly, that makes a difference. Yet, it’s the people who care who will take this message seriously, and the ones who really don’t who will continue to blame and shame and make sarcastic remarks– not because they’re funny– it’s just how they operate and spiritual consciousness remains a “joke”.

Valentine’s Day is Sunday!
On the eve of Valentine’s Day there’s a New Moon in Aquarius (Feb 13). It is on the NEW MOONS that the power is released and we can affect true change. And at the FULL MOON we see the effects of the changes. Yet, we mostly ignore the New Moons because we don’t see them. So here’s a chart for the Aquarius New Moon:
new moon february 13, 2010
Read the symbols using artcharts
LEGEND
New Moons are seed times. Energy picks up so we can plant new seeds that will grow. It’s a time to start new projects and let the energy move us forward. This is the New Moon in Aquarius, when we can connect to new networks, contact more people, get our new ideas out there. Yet, the New Moon only makes a conjunction to Neptune (and Chiron)– in other words, this is a good time to connect with a spiritual teacher. Or go to the movies! Ideas and insights can be great inspirations now, much more than emotions or feelings.
Astrologically, Venus has just entered Pisces (Feb 11) and will conjunct Jupiter (Feb 16) — more love!!! There are opportunities to melt with LOVE. But these are only opportunities! VEnus is also inconjunct Mars and Saturn– if you expect to “get” love, you can be disappointed as it slips through your grasp, once again. This is about the need to adapt. Before you point the blame elsewhere, what is the NEW MOON doing in YOUR chart? What is VENUS doing in YOUR chart? What do you really need? What are your feelings based on? Why do you attract what you do? What are you really putting out there???
Sales of reports that would actually shine a light on our very human complaints and help us find real answer (ie, Lunar Return, The Relating Potential Report, Hidden messages, The Love Forecast) are rare. We have free will. We just don’t want to have to make the effort to exert it. It’s not our fault, it’s the way we have trained ourselves to see the world, over long periods of time. When we take astrology with a “grain of salt” and think of it as “crap we can get anywhere” — that is our own resistance we have encountered! Finding someone or some situation to blame seems easier, and right. If you self-reflect, and you’re wrong, what then?!? Yet when blame doesn’t change anything and our ruts only get deeper, we still keep blaming and making the same excuses. For how long? 10 years? 20, 30, 40, 50… And what IS the price of not living your life? There is a daily cost. There is a lifetime cost. There is a world cost. Yet, resistance is part of the human condition. Awareness is a challenge we can choose to take on or neglect.
Valentine’s Day, the day of love and romance– ruled by planet Venus– finds planet Venus in a both the wonderful and somewhat uncomfortable position of being inconjunct Mars and Saturn– while approaching a conjunction with expansive Jupiter. Love is real and growing, love can be lucky. But it’s not a straight path. In relationships, respect is as important as love. You can realize how many ways being taken for granted erodes trust and downgrades the quality of important relationships. The need to “get over” can start to seem like taking advantage– are you in a loving relationship or looking for chink in each other’s armor, holes in your stories, ways to start fights. Or, you may feel like your relationship is only one way and it continues only due to your insistence and willingness to make more compromises and do more than your share. Wanting someone too much can throw off the natural balance of the relationship, especially if you are measuring how much you receive to make sure you are really loved. Or feeling you are not loved because your partner is not centered in the relationship in the ways you are. Awareness is half the challenge! As the Moon waxes — and Venus and Jupiter conjunct on Tuesday– you can start to make adjustments.

Eclipses generally come in pairs. Lunar and Solar.
Lunar Eclipses (December 31) occur with FULL Moons.
Solar Eclipses occur with NEW Moons.
During New Moons, you CAN’T see the Moon. But during a Solar Eclipse, the invisible Moon becomes visible as we see its shadow move across the SUN. The invisible becomes visible. The subconscious becomes conscious.
The Solar Eclipse of January 15 2010 is not an easy chart. I know. Ugh. And what a drag astrology can be! While numerologists and tarot readers are predicting a fabulous 2010, astrologers are not joining in. I know. Who wants to hear bad news? Not many of us! Yet, life does have its ups and downs, and if no one warns you about that last missing step,,,,,, And if things do get challenging, isn’t it better to know that was a possibility than to think it’s all your fault and you’re losing your mind? Having a full size vision of your life also helps you make better choices and achieve more understanding. And while no one likes a cry baby, no one likes an arrogant stuck-up person either! We The People did not appreciate being told we were going on a “cakewalk” that turned into a brutal war. This Eclipse CAN be a great experience– if YOU embrace change! Not just tolerate it. But welcome it. Be not only willing but excited to give up your comforts for the unknown.
Eclipses symbolize a change in consciousness. We walk through a doorway. And while that can be exciting, we also realize that we are LEAVING something behind. And that can be an adjustment on many levels.
Change can be exciting, or change can be scary. Change changes! In some parts of our lives, we may welcome change. In others, we may dread it and hold it back with all our energy.
For many years I’ve been making change for change! That needs to change!
Here’s a chart for the Solar Eclipse, cast for New York City, EST.

A few hours after the Solar Eclipse, Mercury will make a Direct Station. At this time, when Mercury hangs in the sky motionless, it will be conjunct Pluto and square Saturn. Nevermind anything as flimsy as New Year’s Resolutions! This is about making SOLID commitments that you are willing to work hard to maintain, even under a stress test. There is relief! Mercury stops just a degree from all this being exact. So there is some room, but it’s close enough to get the message.
The Mercury-Saturn square repeats (it frames this Mercury Rx station), which can feel like you can just never get what you need, somehow, it will be denied. Things are moving, but in VERY SLOW MOTION….
Yet, Mercury square Saturn again– while conjunct Pluto in early Capricorn– suggests that if you select carefully, you can focus on what is most important. There is also a connection between Saturn, ruler of Capricorn, squaring Mercury and Pluto in Capricorn. You can achieve your goals, but you will need to be practical and focused. And good at what you do!
To make a serious, ongoing commitment to ONE thing or person, you have to limit other areas of life. You don’t HAVE TO make a commitment, you can just sort of flow unconsciously through life, see what happens…. But the problem with that strategy is that you don’t build anything. Nothing is developed. Everything remains on a superficial level. If you are not willing to LEARN the lessons of Saturn, you are not evading some grim fate, you are missing the point, the teaching, the kernel of truth.
But as 2010 begins, some of us are in an angry state of mind. Mars is Retrograde in Leo, our egos are going through CHANGES!!! We don’t WANT TO grow up!!! Some of us will even have emotional tantrums on TV, and others will watch and support this! Many of us are afraid of an uncertain future. We only want to hear GOOD things. Yet, if we really didn’t want anything but GOOD NEWS, why were We, The People, so upset when the “cakewalk” we were promised turned into a fierce ongoing battle? Why do we tolerate certain news programs broadcasting negative emotional displays? We don’t like negative surprises. Yet, when astrology suggests it can turn on a light, we run for cover!
The square from Saturn to Pluto is a teaching of GROWING UP. We don’t want to. We insist others take care of us, at no cost to us. Yet, this demand keeps us in the child zone. That’s ok too, we all grow at our own pace. Right now, the pace is slow motion.
Many of us will feel and use this energy defensively. We will deny others, make unrealistic accusations, and say negative things to attempt to control situations and manipulate through force or threat to get what we want. Yet, we can find ourselves digging a continuously deeper and deeper hole, as we continue to blame others for things beyond their control or not anyone’s “fault”. If this finding fault and blaming are our first line of defense, we may experience the winter of 2010 as extremely challenging.
Another important astrological event occurring with the New Moon-Solar Eclipse is JUPITER’s ingress into Pisces. This is a VERY brief visit! Jupiter usually spends a year in a sign, but is only spending months in PIsces before moving on to Aries– and more about this all over the astrological internet as this transit adds to the Cardinal T-Square, which will be a Grand Cardinal Cross at Summer solstice.
So while we are still complaining and blaming, and before all H*LL breaks lose this summer, we have a few months to find our compassion for more than just our selves.

At Eclipses, we walk through doorways. We enter new consciousness. This is why they have been feared. Entering the NEW is not always easy. It’s different, unknown….
And there is a SOLAR ECLIPSE coming with the next NEW Moon on January 15.
We are being escorted into a NEW DECADE by the Sun and Moon.
As most astrologers will tell you, these are not easy charts! They show serious challenges and oppositions to change. They show the need to re-think and re-plan. This is the year to let your heart lead the way::
Commit Consolidate Build (slowly).
Bad attitudes are only going to drag everything and everyone down down down. But, if you have a really bad attitude, that may sound appealing. Who cares about living in spiritual balance and a just life when you can blame whoever you can!! But, putting out that negativity will come around, but again, you can just keep the blame game going…
Sun conjunct Venus in Capricorn warns of overeating eating and hoarding to substitute for real feelings and allowing your desires to shine. HOW you work to achieve success is just as significant to your well-being as how much you achieve. Wanting something TOO much can block or hide your ability to actually achieve and receive it.
Ok, that’s it! Getting off the soapbox and back to the paintbox….
Have a Happy New Year

There’s a Full Moon on Sunday, October 4, 2009.
This is the Harvest Moon. And it is bright!
Since the Sun is in Libra, the opposing Moon is in Aries.
This is a high energy time of year. But that’s not news.
What is news is Aries’ ruler Mars is making helpful aspects to Mercury and Uranus. This is an opportune time to network and promote yourself! Get the word out to friends and groups. Do it online and anywhere you can. But do it!
The rider clause that comes with this Full Moon is that even if something you say or do sets off unexpected controversy, if you take it or make it personal, you could find yourself on a slippery slope to a confrontation. Then again, you may realize that if you don’t take things personally, it’s ok to spark some controversy — it makes people open their minds and think!
Here’s a chart for the Full Moon
