-

Jupiter-Neptune-Saturn join together, as well as MARS and the MOON this week calling us to tap into our innate connection with the world around us, seen and unseen - to breathe, to observe, to create from compassion and to feel SUPPORTED.  I think this will be INDEED welcome after the stationing of URANUS and the stir of last week - or perhaps the last two YEARS.  We SEE the change that needs to happen in our lives but we go INSIDE (URANUS retro) to systematically strategize (SATURN) and cultivate our ideal vision for and connection to the INFINITE possibilities of the future (JUPITER & NEPTUNE).  It is a time to welcome PEACE and HARMONY into your heart, to DAYDREAM and to see that the bridge between what it is you THINK & DESIRE can be easily built into the material world so long as it is aligned with your highest potential.  CANCER, as said in my previous post is a beautiful container for the energy of JUPITER which in this event encourages us to know where we come from, to feel the support of our roots and ancestry and to go WILDLY and JOYFULLY into next chapter of our lives knowing that true FAMILY is cultivated through compassion and the mutual NOURISHMENT of the world around us - our BROTHAS AND SISTAS.

THERE IS HOPE. Don't lose it.

To invite in this INSTINCTUAL knowing I urge you to (again!) research the work of MASARU EMOTO, the japanese man who discovered through a series of experiments that thought and feeling create observable effects on the molecular structure of WATER - the primary constituent of life as we know it.  
IT IS A GREAT REMINDER

The extremely healing energy of this event and potent activation of NEPTUNE will be with us for the rest of 2013 and  into the NEW generation being cultivated, cooked and transformed by the ongoing eruptions of the URANUS-PLUTO square (POWER vs FREEDOM). We will see effects rippled far into the future both globally and personally. There are many BREAKTHROUGHS ahead. RELEASE AND INVITE.

Before lasting and authentic TRANSFORMATION can occur, we must ACCEPT and MARINATE in the deep inner awareness that promotes RELEASE of what no longer is serving us. CHANGE is not only POSSIBLE but ESSENTIAL for our personal GROWTH, the greater good of this planet, and those around us.

This ASTRO is so incredibly FERTILE-LUSH-BEAUTIFUL.  What will you CREATE from this solid configuration of emotional and spiritual possibility?!  It is no COINCIDENCE this energy is activated after the recent Mercury Retro - what lessons are with you from the past 3 weeks? I'm guessing the experiences in this time were RICH with emotional significance still being processed AS WE SPEAK.



BELIEVE - this is no time to linger in the fears of the past - we learn from it, we EAT it up and turn it into something GOOD





I leave you with a quote from a personal GURU, an ever-giving master of understanding, explorer of the SOUL and a little known ASTROLOGICAL enthusiast:

"Even if the world were to fall to pieces, the unity of the PSYCHE would never be shattered.  And the wider and more numerous the fissures on the surface, the more the unity is strengthened in the depths."


-Carl Jung, from "Transition in Civilization" 1964 

(This was written amidst the conjunction of Uranus and Pluto that defined the generations to come.)



DREAM IT and LIVE IT xo

URANUS stations in ARIES & stirs the POT


CAUTION... THIS POST IS HOT



ALTHOUGH THE DESIRE FOR INDEPENDENCE THIS WEEK MAY BE OVERWHELMING, I WOULD EMBRACE PATIENCE AS A NECESSARY VIRTUE UNTIL THE END OF THE MONTH.  LET THINGS COME TOGETHER.  

URANUS stations retrograde at 12 degrees Aries


NOTE:  The outer planets - Uranus, Neptune & Pluto -  are all long standing influences.  And by that, I mean - GET USED TO THE ASTROWEATHER.  It's GO big or GO home.  Uranus is in Aries for 7 years.  It's been there for awhile.  It's not leaving for even longer.  Things are bound to HEAT up a bit. 

Uranus this week appears to halt in the sky calling attention to the SUDDEN need to re-evaluate the order and direction in which particular aspects of our life and PLANET may be headed.  This is highly USEFUL however potentially UNCOMFORTABLE  -  This is about no longer tolerating pre-existing modes of ORDER.  And yes, this THIS IS A GLOBAL thang.  Change GONE come.


Many are maddened and unwilling to tolerate the verdict in the case of Trayvon Martin.  

Have you noticed an unusual amount of ACCIDENTS or strange FREAK events the past few days?  RIOTS, anyone?  Uranus brings things fast and while in ARIES, the Martial Ram, there is absolutely the potential for violence in its various forms.  While not erring on the side of PARANOIA, be aware of your surroundings...

SO -  What aspect of YOUR LIFE is no longer TOLERABLE?  Where is it time to burn it all down?

I make this sound all so hard-core but REALLY... it kind of is.

ALL THE WHILE... JUPITER - NEPTUNE - SATURN  (and Mars this week too!) are making beautiful music in the background with a rare alignment bringing together harmoniously the following themes:  

FAMILY-SECURITY-DREAMS-CREATIVITY-LOVE-MAGIC-DESIRE-POWER-SEX-DEATH
& ... RESPONSIBILITY + ACCOUNTABILITY


More on that NEXT week, I'm off for a few days - and to be honest I just want to see what HAPPENS.


Be KIND and GOOD xo

Venus in LEO: Everyone loves a PARTY

At the MOMENT....


Madonna does LEO right - all day everyday.

Astro conditions are so WATERY and emotional right now and with the moon moving into SCORPIO soon it would be easy to forget that pleasure-seeking VENUS is in FIERY heart centered LEO ... do something nice for yourself, be creative, FEEL GOOD, connect with your inner LION. All forms of EXPRESSION and BEAUTY encouraged.  Extravagance is always a potential with lusty LEO... keep it cool.   

What is your ART?  How can you make your world more aesthetically pleasing with a touch of OVER THE TOP?  This vibes well with all of the CANCERIAN emphasis on home. Make something LUSTROUS.

The CRABBY influence will most likely make anything too bold seem... uncomfortable (financially).  DO creative NOT excessive.

OVERFLOWING: Sun-Jupiter-Mercury-Mars in Cancer & why your life is changing for the better


THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE HOME.
...says every Cancer you know

Ahhh... SUMMER.  Indeed the amount of time I dropped off of the writing circuit is noteworthy.  Let's just say that things went a bit ape-shit after the last retrograde back in Pisces time.  It was, to say the least, a very hectic spring.  Life changing for the better, although I am still acclimating.  How did that eclipse season back in April-May rock your world? This already ACTION-PACKED time was extra intensified by the ongoing Uranus-Pluto square.  This is an astrological event ongoing over the next 2 years.  It is VISCERAL and DEFINES our entire generation.  For me it manifests as this sort of GRINDING that makes me feel like I'm in a pressure cooker- change or be changed.  I know you've felt it.  To pinpoint specific areas of your life this square may be affecting, feel free to give me an e-mail and I'll take a gander at your chart to give you a super quick idea of what you probably already know; some certain aspect of your life is undergoing the most intense remodel-take-down-restructure that you have ever seen.  This will change everything for YEARS to come.  But now on to CANCER the CRAB... who is providing us with so much opportunity right now.



When the SUN moves into CANCER it marks the beginning of the summer.  We currently have not only the Sun (soon to exit to LEO) here but Mercury, Mars and JUPITER- the planet of expansion.  To grasp and utilize the energy of this time and NURTURING astrological sign let's examine the visual of a crab:

CONTAINED.  Secure.  ALWAYS HOME  (in it's shell of course!).  Resourceful.  Moves with the TIDES.   Protective.

Cancer is ruled by the MOON and associated with the Mother.  YO MAMA, my mother, everybody's Mum- this provides a good model for understanding the deeply nurturing quality that this emotional WATER sign brings to our world, always, but especially NOW.   Mercury being in Cancer FOREVER- or at least the bulk of the summer- with his tricky bittersweet RETROGRADE has no doubt reconnected us with our past in numerous ways.  How were you NURTURED?  What is your relationship to your MOTHER and how has this effected your LIFE?   This has been a time to connect with where we COME FROM, our ancestry, our INSTINCTS and our FAMILY.  This is CANCER- the ROOTS of the zodiac. This energy has eluded me for years but I feel like I am starting to understand this deeply emotional zodiac character... just long enough to observe it and watch it disappear.  AH, the MOONCHILD.





MARS the god of action and initiation just moved into this sector the of sky, which may prove a bit frustrating as Mars says GO and Cancer says WAIT, WATCH, be careful... but this will help us potentially HOLD BACK a bit before we leap into the emotionally charged rest of the year.  Security in all forms will be evaluated and potentially tested.  MOODS may be a bit erratic... resist the urge to hole up and fume until your ears are red and then UNLEASH THE BEAST on those people who are close to you.  Just a wee reminder there.  Cultivate more LOVING of those people close to you.  Exercise patience.  DO use this time to get in touch with your ANIMAL instincts, your FAMILY (although I'm sure you've already been in touch, RIGHT?), your HOME - where do you want to live?  Where did you come from?  Was it nice there?  What did you receive from your ancestry that is VALUABLE? What needs to get cleansed and THROWN THE HELL OUT?!

NOTE:  FINANCIAL SECURITY is absolutely an issue right now as well.  But you PROBABLY already knew that.




Now on to JUPITER-  I've previously described this planet as everybody's BEST FRIEND, but he is especially happy right now.  CANCER provides a lovely and CONTAINED environment for Jupiter to do his work... which is to bring abundance, blessings and raw JOY.  He moved in on June 25th of this year for the first time in 12 years, since summer of 2001-2002.  I did a fun exercise and looked at that time of my life, back in 2001, and was struck by the HUGE events that occurred.  BIG stuff.  I fell in love twice that year.  AGIVEN- I was 16 but YES this proved to be significant in my life.  This year shaped the 12 years to follow.  As testament to the blessings available at this time I will just tell you that my oldest friend on earth (SO CANCER, right?) just married her partner of over a decade in the first days of July this year.  I had an epiphany the week before the wedding and asked her when they had gotten together - and sure enough, the last time JUPITER was in CANCER, these two connected.  And here they are 12 years later, officiating their wedding with THUNDER and RAIN pouring down like joyful tears of the GODS on their wedding day, both families connecting in harmony and HEAR ME:  I say that their union is BLESSED.  So I ask you.. HOW WILL YOU BE BLESSED THIS YEAR?    Anything is possible.  GO THERE.

Yes, you will notice more weddings than usual this year.  And babies.  LOTS of BABIES.


This is where I come from.  I see no resemblence.

Your HOMEWORK is - figure out where you came from and how this has shaped where you are and then maybe decide where you want to go.  NO BIG DEAL.  You will thank me later when your life takes off into a new direction of your choice and you are HAPPY.  Can it be that it's all so simple?

More to come on JUPITER joining forces with FATHER SATURN and GRANDDADDY NEPTUNE.  This is UBER MAGICAL.

I am fully committing to this ASTRO blog as a regular thing, as JUPITER is blessing my solar communication zone.  WASTE THAT? NO WAY.  Shoot, I might even start writing a book this year.  AFTER the retrograde is over OF COURSE.

GET REST AND STAY FRESH xo
