notes from an eleventh house luminary

back from the abyss—super full moon in pisces—aug. 29th

Well, hi!! This being my first post in months—it feels SUPER to get back in the saddle. It’s been an exciting summer celestially and quite a hard one personally. In the Heavens, Jupiter is blowing up the Virgo Sun and the Moon is floating with Neptune in a Piscean love fest, all while lioness VenusRx reunites with her lion and Libra Mercury buzzes the Nodal Axis. Oh, yeah Leo Mars is…

seriously, what gives?

Today is the New Moon in Gemini at 25°. Mars is conjunct the luminary duo; Jupiter and Uranus moves to exact their trine; Saturn sits at 29°. It all goes down a couple of hours from now. Waning turns to waxing. We begin anew. Yes, lovely, BUT has anyone but me noticed how stingy some have been the month of Gemini? Not about money—I’m talking about with doling out human interaction. I have noticed…

flaming locks of auburn hair . . .

If Leo isn’t your cup of tea, well, then I don’t know what to tell you, ’cause we’ve got lots of the Lion for the whole Summer and on into Fall!! Yep, on Friday, the 5th, Venus left Cancer for Leo, where she will stay for the long haul, ya’ll—remaining in the 5th sign until this time come October! This area of your chart is going to be ablaze. Wow! Just wow! Four months, people. FOUR! MONTHS! And…

so bright . . .

Today, around Noon is the Full Moon at 11° Gemini/Sagittarius. This axis is one of communication, travel and education. Gemini is more your cozy neighborhood, while Sagittarius is searching all corners of the world for knowledge. Today’s luminary opposition is squaring Neptune Pisces creating a Mutable t-square—9°-12° Virgo, it’s ON!!!  Almost in lockstep with the Lunation, Gemini Mars is…

fertile productivity begets a treasure trove . . .

This past New Moon in Taurus, I drew the Empress for the the next installment to Tarot Tales. Precisely fitting!! The Empress III Major Arcana—Earth Mother; the anima; Demeter; the Corn Woman astrology: Venus, Taurus & Libra numerology: three basic themes: femininity, abundance, fertility, healing, feeling, love, productivity, generative forces, protectiveness     The last years of my twenties…

eloquently loquacious

Well, the Sun moved from Taurus to Gemini last Thursday. I have only now been able to get a post out about it. Could it be due the fact the newly ingressed Sun immediately opposed Sagittarius Saturn Rx (delays and frustration) after his transition? Or could it be the havoc Gemini Mercury Retrograde is having on my already precarious internet connectivity grip here at my current location? Anyway.…

just enough is plenty—taurus new moon—may 18th

This evening, shortly after midnight, the Sun and Moon conjunct at almost 27° Taurus.

Taurus is Fixed Earth.

Solid and true. Stubborn and predictable. Abundant, sometimes greedy.

The two Luminaries make no major aspects with another planet, thus standing alone in their unison—completely appropriate.

But hours before they exact, Luna trines Capricorn Pluto Rx and squares Leo Jupiter—bringing more…

this evening, at the witching hour---

Just before midnight tonight, the Scorpio Moon opposes the Taurus Sun for Beltane’s Full Flower Moon.

Beltane. Half way through Spring—that time in the cycle when all is locked in, FIXED and thriving.

Or is it?

Springtime is lovely and Taurus is abundant—budding flowers, warmth, soft breezes and green, green grass. But what of the darker impulses that come out when least convenient and most…

on your mark, get set, GO!!!

This afternoon the Aries Moon moves into conjunction with the Aries Sun at 28°.

We get an opportunity to utilize the irrepressible pioneering spirit of the Ram with this Lunation.

Depending on the house this occurs in your chart, you are likely to want to strike out independently and with full force. Or maybe you’ve been holding back—a little too insecure about things you know need to push in a…

one for all, all for . . .

In less than 12 hours we have the Libra/Aries Full Moon at 14º.

Not only is it a Full Moon but, in answer to the Equinox New Moon two weeks ago, also the day of an Eclipse—a Total Lunar this time ’round—rare and bloody.

And on an even larger scale, tomorrow’s lunation speaks to events we were managing this time last Spring and Fall—full circle and/or full steam ahead.

There are many factors in…

pep and pizzazz

Lots of fuel to burn today, guys!!

The Aries Sun is trining Leo JupiterRx at 12º, while Aries Mercury is trining Sagittarius Saturn at 4º.

So much Fire!!

And couple the above with the transiting Moon in efficient Virgo and since, Saturn is in play—well, there’s enough good sense to harness all the passion and verve into a productive outcome.

This is the energy we get to play with during the…

fierce AND lazy

Mars has left the sign he rules, Aries.

Many have been running amok—going here and there—just moving to move, shedding old Winter skins for a lighter, shinier outfit.

Battle ready but desperate for purpose. All this energy and these ideas—ughhhh, no place to go!

Unfocused Mars Aries.

Well, the Warrior has now moved into Taurus.

Taurus is the Bull—the Fixed Earth sign—things now will become far…

"a simple affectionate touch . . ."

So, today Taurus Venus sextiles Pisces Chiron at 18º.

Fixed Earth and Mutable Water—practical emotion; sensual nuturance.

When the Goddess of Love and the Maverick meet it suggests an opportunity to solidify relationship bonds through integrity and acceptance. Mastering the ability to relate to another as a perfectly imperfect individual is heightened.

Listen, see, feel—drink in the…

looking out for #1!

So, yesterday, dear Mercury moved from Mutable Water, Pisces, to Cardinal Fire, Aries.

I (<—-!!) can already notice the change!

Our minds are aligning with the force of the Aries Sun and our communication style will certainly demonstrate it.

Where for the last five or six months we have gotten accustomed to the “we/us/our” pronouns, there will be a significant shift to “I/me/mine” pronouns, AND…
