Mercury, Venus, Mars change signs October 2019

Intensity, anyone?
Mercury is now in the fixed Water sign Scorpio and will be turning retrograde in early November. What?! Wasn’t Mercury just retrograde and doesn’t it feel like Mercury is always going retrograde these days anyway?!
Mercury in Scorpio: October 3 – December 8
Mercury retrograde: November 1 at 27 degrees Scorpio – November 21 at 11 degrees Scorpio
Who turned up the steam around here?
Delving deeply into the emotional waters of Scorpio is not for the feint of heart but the deep dive for your own buried treasures is so worth the risk.

Venus joins Mercury in Scorpio
Venus in Scorpio: October 9 – November 1

Mars has entered the cardinal Air sign Libra.
Mars in Libra: October 4 – November 18

A shift of the personal planets is a shift in how you navigate through your daily life. Enormous energetic downloads are coming down the pike and if you’re as sensitive as I am you are feeling things moving and shaking, and much way out of your control. You might be noticing strange things happening with your body. My eyes have been leaking, Actually it feels like my entire face is leaking. Too odd. Ascension symptoms. And still things are leaking here and there in my house. The good news is that I got to call the plumber again but plumbing is pricey and I’d really rather have a good massage but there you go. You address what needs to be addressed, grateful it’s not worse than it is, hopeful that each day brings new opportunities to add more light to the world.

Pluto goes direct: are my eyes leaking?

Pluto turns direct

In these chaotic times when the daily news can make you either want to rip your hair out, cry copiously, or throw your hands up in the air in total frustration I find that finding an orange bowl and riding it for all its worth is a great antidote to any woes, i.e., find something you really enjoy and…enjoy it!

Pluto has turned direct after 5 months of retrograde movement. Pluto, as one of the outer, transpersonal planets – Neptune and Uranus are the other 2 outer planets – is as slow-moving as it is serious in its impact on a personal level, if it is transiting planets or significant points in your chart, and on the collective level always. The outer planets are called transpersonal in that they are like the weather – you can bring an umbrella on a rainy day or you can get wet. You can put your snow tires on in the winter and have a better chance of safe road navigation or you can swerve all over the place with your summer tires.

So what does this mean? Prepare as you might for any and all expected circumstances you are still on the ride of your life and when an outer planet hits your chart you get to use any and all of the tools you have honed through your experiences thus far, like relaxation practices. Knowing how to calm and relax yourself during these wild times is the most important tool you can have. You can’t change the weather but you can change how you feel. Being joyful, accepting, and present in the NOW of whatever is happening puts you in the most effective emotional place to ride the wave of life. We all know that we enjoy the ride when we perceive things are ‘going well’ but we feel that maybe it’s not so fun when we perceive things are not going so well. But what is your gauge for well and not well? The whole ride is fascinating and you can either work yourself into a fit when you think things are going down the tube or you can really get it that the whole ride is yours to experience and the more relaxed you are the less the bumps and sinkholes will be able to move you from a centered place of wow! this IS the ride of my life and it’s ALL mine to ride as I choose.

Pluto is at 20 degrees Capricorn now and will be moving forward to 22 degrees Capricorn by year’s end. If you have any planets or points (midheaven or ascendant) at 20, 21, or 22 degrees of Capricorn, Cancer, Aries, Libra, Virgo, or Taurus you will be feeling the volcanic transformational energy of Pluto. Volcanic in its nature, Pluto will dredge up some pretty toxic crap that has been brewing under the surface for who knows how long and when it spews forth its firey, gaseous fumes it will solidify when it hits the emotional realm and voila! new land, new emotional territory is formed. Birthing isn’t easy but it certainly is exciting. And exhausting. if you can sleep more, do!

Speaking of adding light to the world, I have been learning to edit videos on Youtube (never say never to what you are capable of learning). I am excited to be showing how to play with flowers and to showcase videos of my ongoing love affair with flowers, images you can watch that bring you right into the magic world of flowers.

I now have my own url (thank you for subscribing to the channel!) and am busy uploading the tender splendor of flowers. Check them out at The Flower Channel.

New Moon at 5 degrees Libra

Saturday, September 28, 2019

Libra loveliness

This first New Moon of Autumn is kissed by the loving embrace of Venus, ruler of the cardinal Air sign Libra. With the Sun, Moon, Mercury, and Venus herself transiting Libra your core essential Life force energy (the Sun), your emotional nature (the moon). your communication style (Mercury), and your attraction principle (Venus) are all working on the Libra vibration.

Even if the Sun, Moon, Mercury, and Venus were transiting different signs when you were born you are still going to be influenced by these Libra transits at this New Moon. It’s rather like adding vanilla to your baking mix, a blending of all parts is now possible with the ease, grace, and harmony-loving influence of Libra. As with all things, and astrology is certainly no different, things can get confusing especially when a planet rules 2 signs, in this case Venus ruling both fixed Earth sign Taurus and cardinal Air sign Libra.This is all to remind you that feeling the vibrational LOVE energy of Venus is just as important in the physical (Taurus) as it is in the mental (Libra).

There is no question that we are living in a very chaotic time where much is being revealed that has been hidden and much is playing out on a global (and often personal) level that is challenging, painful, and creating a lot of turmoil in the field. No time more than right now is it imperative to stay centered and calm in the knowing that all things are playing out and your part is to hold the space for the magic to unfold.

It is enticingly seductive to ride the wave of drama and chaos but it is to no one’s advantage to do so. if you find yourself enraged by the endless things that could enrage you these days, it is the imperative to focus totally and completely on the end result you wish to see manifest.

So…the calmer and more at peace you can hold your inner awareness, the more you are to able to bring that vibration fully into manifestation. if you are raging about, angry and freaked out about everything you will create more of that in the field of consciousness. What you focus upon you will create.

Libra brings in the energy of fairness, justice, and harmony. All you have to do is focus on that in your life, to bring kindness to all your interactions, and to nurture your relationship with yourself.

I am not you.

You are not me.

We are the same, but different, unique.

it is only when we talk with one another, when I listen to your perspective and you listen to mine that we come to see our likenesses and our differences, our concerns, our fears, our passions. This is how we navigate our similar but not-same journey.

Libra teaches the magic of honoring the other while still holding true to the nature of yourself.

When you look at the astrology chart, Libra is the first sign to be above the midline, the horizon of the chart, showing the movement of self-focus to now relating to others. Libra helps you to navigate fair communication and to focus on a peaceable solution for all parties involved.

I know it seems almost un-doable in this mad time of gross inequalities and scenarios playing out that seem anything but fair. Focusing on the problem will not resolve anything. Focusing on the solution is the only alternative, the only one that makes any sense at all. if you focus on the conflict, you will create more conflict. Focus ONLY on what you want, not what you don’t want.

if you find yourself dwelling on past hurts and all the crap that has come down before right NOW and/or focusing on some doom and gloom fear-based worry-oriented outcome to today’s dilemmas, you bring yourself right out of the moment, the very place from which you can actually make a move!

Neptune and Black Lilith (the shadow, the veil) are conjunct in Pisces at this New Moon, asking you to go deeply into your dreams for direction and inspiration.

South node (the karmic past) conjoining Saturn in Capricorn connects you with the traditions of the past. What can you glean from your personal lineage and from the collective human lineage to support you in these wild times? Use what works and let the rest go.

For me, I always return to FLOWERS.
