A Confusing Election Like Never Before
Both sides will have claims of success, leading to confusion and heated debates in the week following the election. Mercury, the planet most relevant to counting and certifying votes will be in a difficult challenge with Saturn…
The Season of Relationship Challenges
The second Fall eclipse is a Total Solar south node eclipse in Libra, the sign of balance, diplomacy,
negotiations, and justice is on October 2. This period between the eclipses seems to have an emphasis
on international and interpersonal relationships.
Seasonal Changes bring Changing Perspectives
Neptune and Pluto are both at the end degrees of the signs they have traveled for many years and are about to move into new signs next spring. They are displaying the final grasping fingers of the old paradigm of control by fear, bold lies, illusion, and damaging propaganda that make people fear that everything is going backwards.
Big Hopes, Big Surprises, Big Changes
Do not let the political atmosphere sweep you up emotionally. Hold your personal course in this time of changes. Focus on the world you want to create.
On the Edge of Social Shifts
This is Gemini Season, another emphasis on the Air Element. As each planet slides from Earth Taurus, where the energy is comfortable, safe, and slow moving, they make an easy trine aspect to Pluto in the first degree of Aquarius. The Sun ingressed to Gemini on May 20, starting the shift of energy and attention to the realm of ideas, reasoning, and the whole creative flow that allows inspiration to arise.
Revolutionary New Beginnings
The benefic, Venus, enters its own territory of Taurus on April 30. The trend this month is to find comfort, to soothe and nurture. Venus brings to the group of planets already in the sign, reminders of the values that make life worth living. Venus travels under the Sun’s beams. Its influence is happening in private meetings, and out of the public notice. The new phase of Venus’ cycle will be helpful in resolving relationship issues, improving peace negotiations, and solving food shortages. Venus is now the driving influence of the planets still traveling in Taurus.
Evolutionary Turns of Society
The day before the Lunar Eclipse, was a shocking situation occurring in obscure circumstances that leaves a great many questions. On March 23, in Baltimore harbor, a 155,000-ton Singaporean Cargo ship, Dali, operated by Ukrainian Pilot and Co-Pilot, crashed into the Francis Scott Key Bridge at 1:36 am, causing the 1.6-mile bridge to completely collapse, blocking the harbor entrance and completely stalling transit from the ninth largest port in America
Seeds of Change and New Directions
Venus enters Pisces on March 11, and this brings more peace and agreement to the tone of interpersonal actions. As a move toward Spring, Venus can inspire clean-up projects, as beautification and kindness are the themes in Pisces. Venus is exalted in the dignity of Pisces. World events will reflect the emollient influence of Venus with hopeful agreements for a ceasefire on multiple fronts.
February 2024: Seeking a Better Future
February begins with the impetus to evaluate and clear space in our lives for new beginnings. There is a strong influence of sorting out what works and what needs changing, or adapting, to get the best and most benefit from what we already have.
Welcome to the New Year of 2024
There is a sense of closure in many respects. Mercury enters Capricorn on Saturday, January 13 just before the Moon enters Pisces to join with Saturn, stimulating dialogue about how things might shift over the coming year. If this weekend is social, it is likely conversation will drift toward everyone’s ideas of possibilities. This is an excellent time to collaborate with neighbors and friends in pulling collective ideas and wishes together in thinking about a sustainable future of self-reliance and networking resources.
