Mars activates and accelerates the pace of events in our lives. People currently going through dynamic activity, a hectic fast-paced period, or those having the hardest time in the first half of June are Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorns born the first two weeks of April, July, October, and January. In the second half of June, this applies to mid and late April Aries and Taurus, mid and late July Cancers and Leos, mid and late October Libras and Scorpios, and mid and late January Capricorns and Aquarius. If you were born in these zones, focus on what constitutes responsible action, given these birth periods show more highly agitated energy than usual.
Mars triggers whatever happens of note in our charts. In June 2007, Mars moves from 13 degrees of Aries through 5 Taurus, making a Grand Fire Trine to Jupiter and Saturn just after it septiles Neptune in the Grand Irrationality. This shows we have been and will continue to initiate things related to Aries and Scorpio planets and houses in our charts which will solidify after Mars enters Taurus 2:26 pm PDT on June 24. It's a rare month when Mars makes no afflictions to any other planet except for quickly passing ones made by the Moon. The next affliction to Mars is the semisquare to Uranus at the end of the month.
Besides a great alliteration, it's one model evolving for human progress. Since we are interactive beings, human evolution brings lessons in the interpersonal realm. How we dance with others will determine the roles we will play in the evolving world careening toward some major changes over the next 2000 days.
The coming 11 Gemini-Sagittarius Blue Full Moon occurs at 6:04 pm 31 May 2007, early morning June 1 east of the Madeiras. The Solar degree is one of "new vistas of concrete, conscious development," and the Moon is one of "physical enlightenment" and "activity dominated by fate." The Moon is in the Grand Fire Trine quintile Neptune, with inspiration fed by the Sun in Gemini tredecile Neptune. This will bring powerful manifestations around 23 Leo, which no doubt will be crystalized over the next few weeks by Saturn. Be resolute and patient as you demonstrate your training while the Grand Irrationality swirls around us.
Hi all. I have some important pieces of information to share. First, I'm not in Europe yet, and my trip is now on for August. The reason I had to postpone is that I am in process of buying a home in New Mexico, and so have been dealing with necessary paperwork which I could not do if I were half a world away. So my apologies to my European friends, but we will get together not that far down the road.
This week begins under the beams of the 26 Taurus May 16 New Moon, but takes a big turn on May 31 at the Full Moon falling at 11 Sagittarius-Gemini. Trust your body wisdom and get it in gear, since the Fire trine can give wings to what we've been working toward since March. The other big news is that Venus and Mars are in the Cancer and Aries zones of the Grand Irrationality, showing this time is one of making major decisions about where we're going and who we're going with.
His work is vast, awesome, majestic, and compelling, We haven't known an American poet who embodied such electricity since Walt Whitman. Happy 66th, Lucky Wilbury. You were one of my most potent influences as a teen in 60s Amerika, as well as when I wrote songs. Some of your offerings still have the power to blow the illusion to the far side of Pluto. May you have many, many more birthdays, songs, and whatever else floats your boat! Great videos and more below the fold.
This article is a response to a comment asking for my take on the 12th house in our charts. While the 12th house has a reputation for being a house of sorrows, secret enemies, and all "bad" things in our lives, it's also where we reap a harvest, come to finality around certain experiences, and get to see "the movie of our life" from a larger holistic perspective.
We live on the edge of change like few other generations in history. There are global forces in motion affecting us all that will alter the course of destiny on every continent in ways unimaginable to our grandparents. It is evident that we're on a 10 year rendezvous with making the history of the future as we sort through the creation, preservation, and transformation of our assumptions about matter, time, space, energy, life, our planet, and each other. The good news is that everything points to a much better world in the future, despite the many current vectors showing us the need to learn, adapt, and become skilled in new ways to move safely through the difficult times ahead as the old systems crumble and die.
Been away from the computer for a few days reconnecting with an old friend from across the continent. Today will be short, but cover several things that have come to me via email. Yes, Sun sign astrology can be just as effective as a natal chart for seeing what's up, what's coming, why and when. Though there are some differences, Sun sign astrology can serve as a valid substitute if the exact birth time is unknown. I've had great success over the years helping those who don't know their birth time, since the other planets don't move very far each day, and so can be determinators of the highest level in helping us understand the timing on things.
This week is under the beams of the New Moon of May 16 at 26 Taurus, stimulating that house in our charts and any aspects made by the New Moon to our natal planets. The big news is that the Sun enters Gemini, which will shift our transiting Saturn lessons, and Neptune going stationary retrograde marks a major sea change in our lives and the lives of nations, collectively speaking.
Well, the first thing is not to yield to it, or give it any more reality than it is due, which is none. Fear is a natural response, but also a learned one. There are very few things we natually fear, but there are many things we've learned to fear, like being alone, being with someone, being unloved, not making enough money to live and thrive, being fired, evicted, or cut loose without resources. In all of these cases, action speaks louder than feeling fear! There are always things we can do to transmute fear, but we must act on them if we are to have any sense that our practice of overcoming fear is more real than the fear we feel.
