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.

Weekend Astro Update

The Weekend finds emotions working overtime along a spiritual healing pathway as you take certain steps, Saturday,  that can lead to a breakthrough. It’s the holiday season, so it will be good to contact old friends and family you have not heard from in a while. There is a definite link between your spiritual well-being and your good health. Emotional closeness is good for your heart. So catch the feelings of the season, move to make any amends that are necessary, and reestablish contact with important people in your life. That’s getting into and creating the true Holiday Spirit.

“You may discover some important emotional blocks this coming week, when you choose to look carefully at what truly matters most, to you.”

Sunday dawns bringing a tranquil day to the busy holiday season where we find the Moon dancing in harmony with both Mercury (Communication), and Venus (Love). Think — Communication & how you communicate or ‘show’ Love. Isn’t “love”, being connected, and giving what the holiday season is about? Isn’t Love what lives in the hearts of those who find their true way in life? Of course, there are always other tensions, but just remember that just as a piano cannot make music unless tension is placed on the inner strings creating the perfect pitch, so goes the good sort of tension that enters your everyday life. Deal quickly with negative tension, but celebrate that which allows you to work on and work out, creating your own music.

Monday launches busily with Mercury and Mars appearing twice and also Pluto — planet of transformation — in a rare blend of energies that should bring you good fortune today. Concentrate on messages about plans for progress, and you will achieve an important breakthrough in a particular area of your life that matters most to you. The Moon (emotions) also lends its strength to this process working in conjunction with Jupiter (growth) and Uranus (new ideas) to help stoke the flames as you move full speed ahead. Seize this day.

You may discover some important emotional blockages on Tuesday, & throughout the remainder of Mercury Retrograde, when you choose to look carefully at what matters most to you. Many people would rather bury, or put off communication and tasks that don’t exactly make them feel good. Rather, make a conscious choice to embrace challenging feelings, emotions and conversations. Whether with yourself or with others, move your challenges to the top of your priority & “to do” list. The sooner you deal with things, people, issues, challenges, and all things that are bothersome or worrisome, you’ll be better able to enjoy your life and especially the holiday season. It’s all about ‘feeling’, ‘dealing’ and ‘healing’. In many ways, life is a series of tests for all of us, and they are not all peaceful and pleasant. But you are a stronger and healthier person when you deal directly with your own concerns and those of the people whom you love in the proper way, the way that serves you & all concerned, well.

Saturn, our only planet with distinct bounding rings (as captured by NASA’s Hubble Telescope), reminds us of the harmony we achieve when in balance within our boundaries. Countries have borders. Real estate has property lines. And so too, relationships have bounds and limits to be respected, including the values and principles of your mate.

Weekend Astro-Update

The weekend dawns Saturday, with a feeling in the air of embracing abundance. We are in challenging times, & especially during the holidays, when it’s easy to feel challenged about staying on a budget, dealing with less in the IRA and 401K, you certainly don’t want to even think about borrowing from those areas. The trick is to look around you and celebrate all the abundance within our natural resources, still here, surrounding us every day. Life itself is abundant. In the US, things are still in more generously abundant than anywhere else in the world. Celebrate this in your Spirit, offer gratitude.

“Pay special attention to your emotions and in particular to any subconscious assumptions you may have made.”

On Sunday we find Mercury (Communication) working in conjunction with Pluto (Transformation) — a clear indication that your discussions and social events will be very important for you in the upcoming weeks ahead, when. A mystery could be solved, although you may not recognize this until later in the month, during Mercury Retrograde. There’s a certain balance about you as the Moon (Emotions) works with the Sun (Power & Personality) enabling your light to shine, even over the most dark & difficult places. You’re feeling good about your circumstances & within your environment. Take a moment to pay special attention to your partner today, doing so will smooth out any tension.

The work-week launches with a mixed bag of astro-energies & influences as the Moon squares off with Jupiter and Uranus, dancing in harmony with Neptune and Chiron on Monday. It’s also working in conjunction with Mars (Action) planet of initiative, helping you forge ahead even though there’s some resistance to your new ideas. You overcome any stress with strength of Spirit, recognizing that a certain amount of ‘positive tension’ is necessary to actually get the work done & keep it interesting by allowing you to apply your individual creativity.  Seize the week.

Tuesday finds a recurrent of boundaries as the holiday season forges ahead, & romance is looking hot for the day. What boundaries? Budgets still remain one kind of “restriction”, and in relationships, each person sets up their own “parameters.” Once you establish, accept and are able to respect these boundaries, your life goes much more smoothly, allowing you actually, more freedom. Pay special attention to your emotions, avoid  subconscious assumptions. Being presumptuous only creates mind freaks & emotional melt downs, and really how does that help you or your situation? It doesn’t!

Mercury Retrograde on Friday! We’ll talk more about that next week!
Aloha!!

On this Thanksgiving week we take another look at Jupiter, planet of abundance, shown here with one of its 63 confirmed moons. When Jupiter exerts its pull, we find energy for growth and fruitful living.

Astro Update… the Week Ahead

Here comes Sunday with a good outlook for some new plans you may have for the holidays. There’s always a bit of emotion at this time of year, and excitement is in the air as the family looks forward to getting together. Make sure your key relationships don’t get lost in the rush. Your success will come as you include loved ones in your plans and honor their feelings too.

“…sometimes we block essential connections because of certain emotions we are feeling. Don’t.”

Monday launches somewhat quietly with an emotional need for boundaries today. What boundaries? Well, it can be as simple as sticking to a budget for the holiday celebrations, or it can be about your mate needing some space. Remember if any anger flares, that anger is often a cover for pain. So listen well and do the “love work” that is required and which is part of your life destiny.

Think about how your Spirit for life brings about healthy love relationships on Tuesday. Support, counsel, and help come from family, friends and mates. But sometimes we block these essential connections because of certain emotions we are feeling. Don’t. Embrace the support of those around you and even celebrate it. This is how you break through the roadblocks.

At Midweek, your plans have been made, you look forward to seeing the family and having a few days off on holiday as your Wednesday plays out. Emotionally you seem to be blocking out some key limitations which you must respect. This can be as simple as accomodating an in-law at dinner. Break through it, make compromise and move ahead… life is short, and holding onto anxiety is not good for your health.

In the photo, Io, Ganymede, and Callisto appear across the planet’s face. Jupiter is abundant in Moons — these are 3 of 63 confirmed Moons. Jupiter appears in pastel colors in this photo because the observation was taken in near-infrared light.

Astro-Weekend Update…

Sunday sees the planets align in a good configuration for romance, on a nice fall weekend. Whoo hoo. Light the fire, and celebrate what you have together in this fast fleeting thing known as life. Love is an emotional and Spiritual celebration of those who join you on this journey. It can lead to unexpected transformations — changing where you live, your career, and even what you stand for. What greater purpose is there than this gift from God?

“Solve tensions in your love-life with good listening skills which include “hearing” what the other says and also understanding them emotionally and non-verbally. Listen this way intently.”

The week launches on Monday with a bit of an emotional block for communication. Ask yourself what is holding you back from telling someone something important? Then work your way around that roadblock and get on with the tasks at hand. You will find a better reception when you work within boundaries today — at work this means staying on budget even when you believe a new project is in order.

Tuesday comes in a bit quiet as the Moon works in conjunction with Jupiter (Growth) and Uranus (New Ideas) to set up motivation for progress. At work look for ways to build upon past success to carry you forward. There also appears to be a bit of tension in your love life today. Solve that with good listening skills which include “hearing” what the other says and also understanding them emotionally and non-verbally. Listen this way intently.

By mid-week, the energy picks up again and we see Mercury (Communication) appearing three times in the mix on Wednesday. Mercury likes restrictions today, but has a bit of tension within your love life. Emotionally, you feel the need to talk, but just realize that some boundaries are good. People need their space. Giving that to a loved one is not always easy, but at the right times it is rewarding. There is no way to force the transformation you seek. It has to come with mutual agreements and acceptance.

Weekend Astro-Update

Happy Halloween on Sunday, a day when it is best to roll with things and enjoy the holiday. Emotionally, there’s an opportunity to examine what’s holding you back in your romantic relationship. As always, this will require that you get any emotional roadblocks out of the way of your communication. Remember that the Truth will always come out, so it’s best to deal with things from the bright spot of your heart — sooner, rather than later.

“Emotionally, we like staying in our “comfort zone.” Get out of it.”

Monday rolls in with Pluto, planet of transformation, playing a triple roll — it’s in harmony with the Moon (Emotions), which in turn is in harmony with Venus (Love), so some of your relationship “work” can pay off today. But there’s still a bit of tension in the area of Communication, so use the “love light” to speak your truth quietly and clearly. Follow your gut instincts… intuition plays an important role today.

On Tuesday, the Election Day in the USA, we see an emotional opposition with Jupiter — the planet of Jupiter. This make sense, since just about every American agrees that our current debt and spending habits are unsustainable. Emotions are high and flowing toward leaders that will stand for prudent government. We also find emotional tension in the areas of Spiritual matters — another sign that spirits are running high and so some stress with all the viewpoints out there. Celebrate that — it’s what makes free people stronger.

Wednesday dawns with new purpose even though there are still some roadblocks in the way of progress. Emotionally, we like staying in our “comfort zone.” Get out of it. Neither a country, a state, a government, a business, or an individual can afford to ignore change and what is needed for growth toward wise values and goals. Pay careful attention to the ways of the Spirit today. Pray for discernment in politics, business, and in your home life.
