NASA IMAGE OF EARTH STORM. There is awesome power all around us all the time, and sometimes when you gain a higher perspective you can see currents, and eddies in the “big picture.” Astrology is like that. Physicists tell us that all is energy — everything is in motion all the time. The key is to whirl in the best directions for your life.

At mid-week, the Astro-energies align in such a way that you will have to use discernment to see through anything you feel is blocking you from something you need to do, on Wednesday. It could be you? Sometimes our feelings of a comfort zone prevent us from attending to the growth we need. Listen to others plans and if they are good… embrace them. Listen to your own heart and do not be afraid to be bold — life is about growth.

“Remember that to have great faith is to have great power because then your will is focused. You have no doubts.”

Thursday brings a time of Spiritual Health when things align right for you and you get a powerful feeling that you can take the steps you need to really get ahead. Remember that to have great faith is to have great power because then your will is focused. You have no doubts. You word will be more powerful and you can then overcome any of the natural roadblocks and restrictions that people like to put in your way.

The work-week closes out on Friday in a powerful way with emotions and personality both at a high energy level so you can take the initiative. In your career this can mean stepping pu for a new project that can increase your salary. At home, this can mean moving your relationship with your mate to a new level by honoring and celebrating what you have and where you want to go together. It could mean both. Seize the day.

The Weekend comes in quiet but strong too, after a powerful week on Saturday. Both you and those close to you can open up and communicate what you are feeling. Why? Life is about forging ahead with new ideas. You don’t want to be stuck in a rut. So now you can consider some new ideas, and put them on the table and look at them — discuss them. Of course, as always, this can cause some nervous reactions. That’s natural. The important thing is to listen and consider new plans carefully. Then, get on with your life.

Wednesday provides a time to focus on two astro-energy concepts: enjoying real love leads to breakthroughs, and tension about new ideas prevents growth. Seem like common sense? It is. But it’s easier said than done. Do you celebrate the real love you find in your life? You should. When you have lived a certain number of years, you will realize how rare it is. But celebrating it will actually open more doors to growth. Then there are people that fear new ideas, and that fear holds them back. So embrace Love, and quality new ideas as you grow in your life.

“…emotionally, it’s a good day to take initiative and do something for the health of the spirit.”

The astro-energies get busier on Thursday as Mars, the planet of initiative, works triple power all in opposition. What does this mean for you? Someone in your life whats to do something that makes you nervous for a reason — it’s not good for your health. You’re going to have to out-think this person and find a new and different way to proceed. Go with your gut instincts.

Friday ends the work-week with Mercury (Communication) playing a dual role with a clear sign that if you use the power of personality, you can find the breakthroughs you seek. Do so within prudent parameters… which can mean staying on budget, not taking on more responsibilities, etc. This can cause a little tension with your mate, but again, use your persuasive power to convince your loved ones you are proceeding in a well-thought out, and measured way.

The weekend begins with three harmonies, on Saturday — emotionally a good day to take initiative and do something for the health of the spirit. These don’t have to be new plans, like finding a new Church or something like that. Instead, just focus on simple ways to enjoy the spirit of living — take a hike with friends, cheer for your favorite team, enjoy family and friends. The important thing is to make plans and follow through on them. Seize the day.

This NASA artist’s concept gives a good sense of the Sun’s influence on Earth. No one argues with how the Sun exerts light and heat necessary for growth and life. Everyone knows the Moon controls the tides. But the energies of the other planets seem less obvious even though at times they are more profound. Enjoy the heat of Love on Valentine’s Day.

Happy Valentine’s Day on Monday, as the astro-energies signal true values for the day — follow your heart and communicate what is in it. Of course there are nerves involved with that… there always are with matters of Love. This is precisely why you need to open up inside, and outside. You took a risk on love. Will it pay off? This depends on many specific things, but in the end — being brave always gets you where you need to go. The key to honest growth in a relationship is first to get real about your own wants and needs, then to listen first to your mate before you seek to be understood. After both of you reveal your heart… you will know what is next.

“…what’s important now is that you revisit the foundation — what your relationships are based upon — then work forward from there.”

Tuesday rolls in with some lingering tensions in the air, astrologically speaking. Remember that there are always tensions, and that some kinds of stress are good — they key you up to get going and get things done. Today, Mercury (Communication) appears twice showing some disfavor with both the Moon (emotions) and Jupiter (growth). So, you will need to consider what emotions are preventing your key relationships from moving forward. Use this time for reflection and prayer — the time for action is ahead.

At mid-week we find two astro-energies showing harmony, while three more show some stress on Wednesday. Focus on the positives of new ideas that lead to growth. Is there a new way to approach a project at work? How about something you haven’t tackled before in your love relationship? Relationships at work and at home grow by taking on new tasks and challenges — think teamwork. That’s the Spirit. And Spirit is precisely what you need these days, so nurture it in yourself and those you care about.

Thursday gets busy with ten astro-aspects in play and brings an opportunity to consider your love life. What doesn’t feel just right about the way things are? What can you do to change things for the better? Communication seems a bit strained now, but as you know, all things will pass and you will move to the next phase. So, what’s important now is that you revisit the foundation — what your relationships are based upon — then work forward from there. This introspection will set you up well for your next step… when the time comes.

Blue Uranus shows it’s moon, Ariel, circling and casting a shadow on the planet — the black dot you see. This planet is like a mirror for new ideas, but sometimes there is an eclipse of thougth — don’t worry, the light always returns.

Two harmonies were present on Tuesday to help you focus on new opportunities for prosperity. God knows we can use some of that in this time, and so have a meditation and prayer about ways to move forward at work, and also in your relationships. Books help. Think emotional communication. Does this mean that you need to have a fight? No. It means listen to your own emotions, and be open to those the feelings of those you care about — then speak quietly and clearly from the heart. This is a time to research and listen — the time for action will come later.

“…when your emotions are guided by right spiritual principles, you are led naturally to health. That’s the faith.”

At mid-week, we see the Astro-Energies stir up a bit presenting two conjunctions, three stress tests, two harmonies and one blockage on Wednesday. Venus appears twice while Uranus, planet of new ideas, makes a quadruple appearance. Neptune teaches that this day is to be one where the spirit guides your communication in your relationship. Oddly, Venus appears blocking Neptune, so you may find some opposition to the ideas you present. The important thing is to dig deeper and find what is really at the root of any roadblocks. Work on that.

Thursday is a day when we like going to our “corner”, cubicle, man-cave, or favorite cafe and just keep everything else out of our boundary. That’s ok, but remember that love is good for your health, and you can’t do that in a locked room by yourself. There is always some tension between the need to withdraw, then the need to come back in and find the growth leading to breakthroughs — when you are ready. So take some time to get a better hold of things, then enjoy the important people in your life — in the end, that is all that matters.

The work-week ends on Friday with Venus exerting three influences and Mars appearing twice. We can think of Venus as female energy, and today there’s a bit of discord with males. You sisters know what I’m talking about — sometimes you get fed up with men. That’s ok, but sooner or later you have to listen to the language of love — what you feel in your gut, and go with that. Why? Because when your emotions are guided by right spiritual principles, you are led naturally to health. That’s the faith.

Earth and Moon do a celestial dance 24/7/365. We accept this as our reality, with little thought for the influences above… until we see the tides, and until we feel emotions peak during Full Moons. All is Light and all is Energy. As above, so below.

The week starts off on Monday with two harmonies, two tensions, and two blockages in terms of Astro-Energies. It’s a good day to get tasks done. You’re feel stronger today as your personality powers through objectives. Tension occurs in the areas of Health and Spirituality — two linked areas of your life. Take a moment to meditate meditation and pray in order to address this. You are likely to have minor blocks in communication as you try to break through to better understanding with a very important person. Make sure you trust your gut about the best approach, then listen and seek to understand before being understood.

“Life is not about relaxing all the time, and you have to “key up” to make things happen. Have Faith, knowing you can do it.”

Tuesday brings three harmonies and two tensions. The tensions in the area of new ideas for growth are actually a good thing. What…Stress… a good thing? Yes! Life is not about relaxing all the time, and you have to “key up” to make things happen. Have Faith, and you can do it. This is also a great day to enjoy romance, so plan an intimate lunch or dinner with your mate. Your mate can provide the inspiration you need to succeed.

At mid-week, we find that restrictions block our Communication on Wednesday. Get beyond those roadblocks. Is email not getting your point across? Meet in person. You may have a feeling you can transform a relationship or two today, but you have to negotiate the obstacles. Handle any discord with your close partner at work and at home, then move swiftly to clear your desk of any stressful correspondence and communication. Next, take a break and celebrate all that you accomplished thus far this week. You’ll then be in the right frame of mind to forge ahead toward a very entertaining weekend.

Thursday finds a mix of Astro-energies that show opportunities to share some future plans with your coworkers and family, and maybe even that very special someone. Just remember that people fear change, and so at first you may get some resistance. That’s ok. Different people adapt to change at different speeds. But life is all about change, so your new ideas, built on careful planning, will carry the day in the end. It can be draining, perhaps exhausting to a degree… but it’s worth it. Enjoy your day & prepare to have the most extraordinary time this weekend, certainly you make a huge hit with ‘new’ introductions.

We kicked off our work week on Monday with harmonic energy showing in the areas of Health, Spirituality, and New Ideas. This was a good day to take action on some new physical and spiritual health methods like an exercise class, a book discussion club, a study group at your church, etc. Uranus (New Ideas) appears twice once showing harmony, and once showing some emotional tension. What has you blocking these new ideas? Get to the root of that and get beyond it. This is a time to over-rule those comfortable feelings and move from your comfort zone to the next level in your life.

“…pay particular attention to the emotional tone of messages and conversations… prune and garden for growth”

On Tuesday we see Mercury and Pluto appearing twice in the astro-energy mix, so get ready to find a way to use communication for an important breakthrough. Interesting, though, that the Moon is opposing both of those planets today which means you need to pay particular attention to the emotional tone of messages and conversations. It could be that someone feels that what is being proposed is too “restrictive”. If this is the case then use your best negotiating skills which include listening and learning from body language. This same tactic will also help in your love life today.

Mid-week brings a mixed bag of astro-energies including emotional harmony with new ideas for growth, and a feeling that something is not right with plans to move ahead on Wednesday. Regarding change, you have to work hard to get past the “comfort zones” most people prefer to live within, and make sure that the way forward is carefully planned and checked. The same is true about the sudden idealistic consideration of adding in a new ‘Zodiac’ sign? For all of you questioning this sudden acquisition—-before you decide you are a Virgo vs. A Libra—-please wait. Remember it’s the planets that are in the position they are in at the time you take your first breath that actually determines what “Sign” you are. And that will never change. So if ‘Virgo’, or Libra, Scorpio etc. is your current zodiac sign—-hold on to that thought, everything for now, remains the same. This is the same in the workplace and at home. All relationships require growth, yes, just like any plant in a garden, but it’s the right kind of growth—growth that promotes a healthy balance within the structure. So… think about how can you water, prune and garden for growth?

Thursday brings feelings of tension with thoughts you have about abundance, but harmony with boundaries in love relationships. Huh? Sometimes you can’t move forward until you review and reset the right limits with current love interests, family and colleagues. All of these cross currents can create tension unless you manage things well on the Communication front. There’s a reason why millionaires are said to have “parlayed” (meaning “to speak”, from French), their way to fortune. If there’s one skill that it all comes down to it is communication, but that also assumes that you have prayed for discernment and done the hard work on “internal communication” — understanding and dealing with your own issues, first.

Monday launched the work-week with a mixed bag of Astro-Energies. Mercury, planet of Communication, appears three times, squaring off with both the Moon (Emotions) and Uranus (New Ideas), and working in harmony with Neptune — the Spiritual planet. This sets up an interesting dynamic where you must use strength of Spirit to break through any blocks for good communication today — especially when it comes to proposals, presentations, and dialog with important people in your life. You can do this. Call on emotional strength in the areas where you are making progress (ie. resolutions for the New Year).

You have “an opportunity to look carefully at what your emotional intelligence is telling you about some new directions in your life.”

Your Astro-keys for Tuesday are a focus on Communication and its relation to Health. Always remember to get stressful communication done first thing in the day — otherwise it causes you stress much longer. The right Communication you put out today, will also make things easier for you later. Make sure you check what you write, and what you say and run through it with a cool mind and honest heart before you put it out there. In this way, good Communication is essential for good Health — your own health, the health of your relationships, and the health of your business.

Wednesday brings four harmonies two blockages and one tension point to our lives via the Astro-energies. Mars, Planet of Initiation, appear twice — once in harmony with Uranus, and once squaring off with the Moon. So, this presents an opportunity to look carefully at what your emotional intelligence is telling you about some new directions in your life. Why are you blocking them? You can feel what the best healthy choice is, so follow your gut and communicate intelligently about it.

On Thursday, it’s time to smooth over any stress in your important relationships. Take steps to move toward the goals you both want. This applies equally at home with your mate, as it does with important colleagues at work. You’re going to feel some feedback that people are nervous about change — natural isn’t it? Just remember, that not everyone sees the transformation goal as clearly as you do… yet. Hang in there.

After a quiet start, the week picked up pace on Tuesday with ten Astro-energies in play. Venus put in a powerful four time appearance with Uranus appearing twice. This is a clear sign that your love-live will get interesting in a good way. Emotions and love go hand in hand, and communications paves your path. Go with what is both in your heart and what your gut is telling you. When they are in agreement, you will find the love you need.

“It’s normal to move ahead into new territory in business, and in romance.”

Wednesday quiets back down a bit showing three emotional harmonies with Uranus, Jupiter, and Venus. New ideas expand your love relationships. Relationships? Sure — besides just your mate, there’s also your family and friends you love. Aulde lang sine — remember the song? Love is a wonderful thing in this life — and powerful. Sometimes so powerful that it hurts. That’s ok. Your task is simply to keep your love always healthy and let God do the rest.

Tension about conversations involving growth and change are in the air today, even though you feel a bit better in your comfort zone on Thursday. That’s natural. People like habits and routine — what is familiar to them. It’s also normal to move ahead into new territory in business, and in romance. Everything living must grow, and the new year is a good time for it. Find a way to embrace where you’re going even as you celebrate where you’ve been.

Friday ends the work-week with an excellent opportunity for you to get beyond any blockages with those you love. The secret? Face what you need to do, and open yourself to honest communication. And remember, that communication means good listening — often doing more of it than speaking. Listening also involves watching a person, gauging their emotions, and considering carefully all that is presented to you so you can… understand. This is how you breakthrough.

Eccentric Uranus is the seventh planet from the Sun. Like the other giant planets, Uranus has a ring system, a magnetosphere, and numerous moons, but it is tilted at an odd angle. It’s energy is that of new ideas, and new approaches to the plans in your life, and it is very active this week.

Sunday brought a double dose of both Mercury energy (Communication), and Venus — ruler of romance — showing a bit of tension with both Mercury and the Moon. The Holiday Season has arrived. As old friends and family get together, often there are emotional currents that find their way to the surface. Don’t hide from it, deal with it upfront, and direct, but in a nice ‘considerate’ way—remember the Golden Rule. Find a way to embrace these emotions like you would a good friend… because they are your friends.  Yes, all that you deal with in your life, including your emotions, are indeed your guides through the rivers and seas of life. Listen well, and learn.

“…look very carefully at how failed communication can block the growth you seek.”

We launched the holiday week on Monday with a triple appearance, this time by Chiron (Health), Uranus (New Ideas), and Mercury — (ruler of communications and also right now in retrograde) the intelligent planet of discourse. And tonight if you’re on the west coast or Hawaii, a Lunar Eclipse—-for others, eastern and central time, in the early am, Tuesday. It’s a bit foggy due to the excessive rain on the west coast and Hawaii, so it will be a bit difficult to see. It’s important this week, especially today and tomorrow, to Communicate healthy ideas. Avoid getting caught up in any drama—-you’ll be thinking in dramatic terms, perhaps even a bit confused, and even feeling as though you’re in the midst of chaos with all the information coming at you from all different angles stirring up your feelings. The New ideas you have will spark you to uncover a healthy dialog with others as well as yourself, but you may have to deal with a couple issues, to actually get there.  I recommend first that you engage in healthy self talk, enabling your internal “recorder” to remember to take the necessary steps to fulfill your communication dreams, wishes and desires. Could there be a better way to end one year and start another one?

On Tuesday, we find a very interesting mix of conjunctions, oppositions, harmonies and tension. In the big picture of things, there are always relationships that are working out well, even amid the usual amount of stress and turmoil. C’est la vie — that’s life! But look very carefully at how failed communication can block the growth you seek. This can be because you are not clear about your desires? Well, if you don’t know what you want, then who would?  Refrain from clamming up —-when you truly need to open up and talk. It’s time you express yourself clearly and positively.  Use presence of mind, meditation and  prayer or two to address any relational concerns.

At mid-week, we find a bit of tug and pull as you ready yourself to enjoy the holiday weekend. Your keys for Wednesday are all about trusting your gut or your intuition when deciding what to say to those important to you, respecting the right parameters set by you and others, and opening your heart to your family and friends. This also clears a pathway to the spirit so you can get beyond any roadblocks in your important relationships. You will get there — you always do. And the holidays are going to be your best ever, this year. Enjoy!!
