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
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 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.

On the night of July 28, there’s a Balsamic Moon (Moon semisquare Sun). This is the last phase before the New Moon, which is August 1, and is simultaneously a Total Solar Eclipse.
But first, this week!
Monday night’s Balsamic Moon means the Sun and Moon are making an approaching semisquare (45 degree) aspect.
This week, Sun and Mercury will be exactly conjunct, forming their “superior” conjunction, which is the conjunction of the Sun and Mercury that occurs while Mercury is Direct. As the Sun and Mercury travel together this week, they both make the same aspects to other planets. So this week, both Sun and Mercury sesquisquare (135 degree) Uranus. Since sesquisquares are manifesting aspects, it’s worthwhile to note what this means in our lives.
When Sun and Mercury are exactly conjunct it is called “combust” and this can make think confusing as ideas blend and become hard to define. New ideas can’t “just exist” abstractly in our minds, they need social relevance.
As the Sun and Mercury approach their superior conjunction (July 29), they are both sesquisquare Uranus (July 29). Mercury is moving at its fastest at the superior conjunction. Yet, this conjunction and its aspect to Uranus can make new ideas seem more challenging than exciting. You can feel overly stimulated and easily thrown off by surprising news and unusual ideas. If you feel nervous, scattered, or rushed, it can be a challenge to carefully understand information or read directions, making technical errors more possible. It’s a challenge to sit still and pay attention.
We may realize the importance of sharing our ideas with a larger group at this time, yet this week social trends and behavior can be beyond your ability to understand. We can feel our thinking is outmoded and rigid and that we don’t even want to be relaxed and spontaneous. This can make it more of a challenge to contact your logical mind. If you’ve been flying around in the ethers, this is the time to take it back down to earth, check your thinking, and find ways to make your own information more socially relevant.
This week, you may have to expect the unexpected and let the Universe bring something new into your awareness. Our everyday consciousness is being expanded. And that can be comforting too!
In Love&Light
moving towards Friday’s Eclipse!
