Pluto in Libra

Pluto spent time in Libra for most of the 70’s and into the early 80’s. If you were born during that time, your Natal Chart probably shows Pluto in Libra. If so, then being in relationships (Libra) brings you opportunities for deep, personal and often dramatic transformations (Pluto). With this placement, learning how you relate with others, learning how different people relate differently with you, and what it takes to support a win/win approach to a relationship brings intense changes to your psyche. Pluto represents powerful changes that transform the way we live and Libra is about living in harmony with each other.

What an adventure!

New Moon Connection

Our Aries New Moon tomorrow conjuncts Venus and sextiles the Moon’s North Node. This brings added flavors to this Spring’s New Moon experience.

Since Venus rules Taurus and Libra, the desire for love, pleasure, beauty, peace and harmony is added to the mix.

The North Node in Aquarius adds the spirit of connecting with others, lending a helping hand and making humane choices.

Of course, for more information on how this New Moon may make itself known to you, look in your natal chart for the house it lands in at 6 degrees Aries and any aspects it makes to your planets and important points.

Let’s celebrate new beginnings, heart-centered intentions, loving connections, and Life!!

What if?

Down through the ages, people have looked for a being called God.

Now here’s a thought. What if God is not a being at all? What if God is a “state of being”, like unconditional Love, or ever present good, or unlimited wisdom, or all three.

And when we express ourselves from that state of being, we are expressing God. And when we interact with each other from that place, that state of being, we share the very best of ourselves, which is our unique expression of God.

Wouldn’t that be heaven?

Want a Little Cheese with that Whine?

So often we direct energy into what we don’t want to manifest. What a waste of our co-creating abilities.
· I’ll never be able to do this
· I don’t deserve good things
· They won’t like me if they really get to know me
· I’m not good enough
· I don’t know enough
· I’ll never be able to quit drinking, smoking, etc
· No one loves me, not even me
· It looks too hard for me.
· I’ll never find a job

It makes a huge difference what we choose to believe and we do have a choice.

Gregg Braden writes, “Quantum science suggests the existence of many possible futures for each moment of our lives. Each future lies in a state of rest until it is awakened by choices made in the present.”

Choose well, choose good, choose great.

Full Moon Squaring Off

We have a Full Moon at 21 degrees Gemini on December 12th. Gemini is the time to be with friends, be social, laugh together, share stories, share ideas.

However…… Saturn, at 21 degrees Virgo, is squaring the Sun and Moon. Squares feel like internal conflicts. And Saturn is serious, full of discipline, order, caution, delays and hard work.

The closer we get to Friday, the more difficult dependability and organization will be, so get your work done ahead of time. Get an early start if traveling in case of delays. Watch out for clashes over responsibilities and/or with authorities. If things feel shaky or unsure, don’t force them. And watch out for a tendency to feel lonely, overlooked or left out; it could be because you’re isolating yourself.

You deserve to enjoy  this weekend so plan ahead before you go out. Or if you do decide to stay in for a quiet evening at home, taking responsibility for that choice will make for a happier evening.

Either way, enjoy!

New Moon in Sagittarius

We have a New Moon at 8:55am pacific time/ 11:55am eastern on November 27th, Thanksgiving Day, a nice gift from the heavens. And it’s in Sagittarius at 5 degrees, which is a very lighthearted, playful energy to enjoy.

Remember to make your New Moon Intention List and here are some Sagittarius points to embrace.

• Get outside and spend time with nature
• Find something to be cheerful and optimistic about
• Laugh and dance and play
• Listen intuitively, hear the meaning beyond the words
• Go on an adventure, explore something new
• Be spontaneous
• See life as an adventure, you never know what’s around the next corner
  
• Trust your direct connection to Truth
  
• Speak truth from your higher self

Happy Thanksgiving to all and to all a good night, wait……that’s not right….. Well, actually with all that turkey, we probably will sleep good. So Happy Thansgiving and sweet dreams too!

All Systems Go

Gratitude for the simple things. Photo by Intangible Arts from Flickr.

Expressing gratitude is a very powerful thing to do. Studies show we can actually change molecular structures with thankfulness. And when we join together with this kind of alignment and power, think of the mountains we can move, real solid changes for good in our lives! Thanksgiving Day is perfect for this.

The planets are even getting on the same page. Uranus, in Pisces, turns from a retrograde position and forges forward.  As of Thanksgiving day, November 27, our planets will all be on direct courses, no retrogrades. This concentrated flow of energy is great for moving ahead, forging new ground with all systems go.

community has its perks

Remember that song by the Youngbloods from the 60’s, “Come on people now, smile on your brother. Everybody get together try to love one another right now”?

With Uranus representing the unexpected, inventive and humanitarian plus Pisces representing compassion, spirituality and selflessness, that song really fits.

Pluto says BuBye

Pluto entered Sagittarius in 1995 and now says adios. Time to move on.

It travels into earthy Capricorn on November 26th. As Olivia Newton John said, “Let’s get physical, physical, physical”…..

You may actually notice a shift of energy as Pluto, known for its intensity, trades in lighthearted, optimistic Sagittarius for serious, goal-oriented Capricorn as its new traveling partner.

I imagine many of us will weed out from our lives what is unproductive, bring orderliness to what is, and get down to the business at hand. Pluto represents transformational change (and many times dramatic) and for the next 16 years we’ll see those changes in very structural and physical ways.

I’m feeling the call to roll up my sleeves and get my hands dirty.

Oh, man….. I just did my nails….. I’ll wait ’til the 26th.

Full Moon in Taurus is full of bull…..Not!

You can think of the Full Moon as a time to “feel the fullness”.

The Taurus bull knows its strength (worth) and what it wants (values). It can persistently and methodically stay its course.  Taurus reminds us to value quality when we see it and “are it”. Appreciate beauty, pleasure and quality of life for ourselves and others (including animals).

Value is the basis of any economy and the new economy starts with us. So where do we place our values?

Monet

Taurus reminds us to treasure:

• self worth
• personal value
• forgiveness
• persistence
• gratitude
• loyalty
• creativity
• joy
  
• cooperation
• respecting boundaries
• taking things one step at a time
• patience; calm and steady approach
• honoring needs; of yourself and others
• physical pleasures of life; food, art, music, theater, movies, comfort, hugs, etc., etc., etc., (I feel a song coming on from the “King and I”….. excuse me while I stop to sing “Shall We Dance”)

Neptune – What to Trust?

Neptune goes direct November 1^st. A forward motion usually feels like progress, however…….when Neptune is involved, uncertainty, confusion, doubt, illusions and deceptions can still continue. What seems real, predictable and solid can dissolve right out of the picture.

Sometimes that’s a good thing, sometimes not. Most of us would agree that when ego and greed dissolve, or health problems, that’s a welcome relief. However, sometimes things vanish that we had great hopes and dreams for.

Where we put our Trust is the slippery lesson of Neptune. What seems real can be the illusion and what seems illusory can be the real.

We start to think about what’s permanent, what’s temporary… what’s conditional, what’s unconditional… what’s limited and what has no limits.

These lessons push us to go higher and further in our realization of the infinite, lasting, true and real. Becoming conscious is the key.

As Buzz Lightyear would say, “To infinity… and beyond!”
