The end of this month brings with it a New Moon, which will occur in Leo, on the 26th of July. This lunation is all the more stronger and impactful due to the presence of Jupiter in Leo. The fiery lion reminds us of our passions and gently guides our steps towards the life area where we are bound to excel. Regarding the Sun and the Moon, they are both at 4 degrees Leo, position which leads to some drama in our lives. The combined energies of Jupiter, the Sun, and the Moon increase enthusiasm and turn this New Moon into a perfect time for committing to a goal or a dream. Provided that you truly want to achieve the respective goal or dream and that you try your hardest to achieve it, the universe will surely help you along the way. The warmth of Leo promotes inspiration and creativity. Although life may seem chaotic at times, there are numerous opportunities out there for us to achieve our dreams and to build a life that we are proud of. This New Moon particularly encourages...

The Capricorn Full Moon on the 12th of July is the the first Supermoon of the summer. Astrologer Richard Nolle introduced the term “Supermoon” to refer to the Moon which is closest to our planet when full. If a Supermoon occurs at the same time as a Full Moon, then the lunation has a stronger effect. Each individual reacts differently to a Full Moon: while some are highly emotional, other don’t feel different at all. Your Full-Moon-related experience usually depends on the structure of your chart and on the mathematical relationship established between the lunation and your chart. As a rule of thumb, any life aspect on your chart that is within some degrees of the Capricorn sign will be more deeply influenced by the lunation. This month’s Capricorn Full Moon narrows down the focus on the material world. Everything that is related to finances, our mission in this world, fulfillment, and personal achievement is brought to our attention by this astrological event, inviting us...

The summer solstice marked the peak of light and brightness and we currently find ourselves in a period of growth and richness: fruits ripen, creativity reaches a maximum level, and relationships develop. The Sun is currently in Cancer, but in July it will move into Leo, sign which encourages us to embark on a grand adventure. Jupiter joins the Sun in Leo on the 16th of July, then these two planets merge at 2 degrees Leo on the 24th of July. The Sun’s movement from Cancer into Leo represents a favorable time for us to contemplate our origins and our boldest dreams. Basically, July is a month in which we should celebrate the things which enthuse us and share them with the world.  Mercury has resumed its direct motion on the 1st of July, but it isn’t out of the shadow yet. Therefore, we go over the retro degrees until the 17th of July. During this period, we will experience moments of clarity as dots connect to reveal meaningful units.  Venus enters Cancer on the 18...

2014 Astro-Note:   Venus chillaxes briefly in   Taurus , a sign the love planet rules, from May 28th to June 23rd.  In manic times like these, follow Venus' desires to what feels simply good.  Invest in what will sustain you and your loved ones, and even grow.  Take pleasure in nature's delights, and stack up memories that engage all the senses.   Slowing Down The love rhythm is laid-back, as Taurus is renown as a sign that takes its sweet time.  If you're in a new love or friendship, Taurus (Venus) is the inspiration for settling into "something more."   In the exhaust fumes of Venus' propulsive time in Aries, comes the immovable feast of Taurus.  Now it's time to root in, and savor the sensual moment.  The pleasure is sharing the luscious fruits of the season. Earth sign Taurus is a lover of the physical 3D experience -- the world of the five senses.  And Venus is to do with desire, what makes life worth liv...

You know what this current mix of transiting energies makes me think of? Taking what’s wild, and applying rules to it. Venus in Aries is just coming off a conjunction with rebel Uranus, and heading into a square with expansive Jupiter in Cancer. Venus in Aries is a bit crazy. Charge after what you want. Flirt with an assertive edge. Draw a little blood. Uranus and Jupiter are punching up those Venus themes (love, money, self-esteem, beauty). Get NOTICED. But Jupiter is trining Saturn Rx in Scorpio. No matter how you slice it, Saturn is about rules. The limits of reality. To me, this feels like taking the crazy____ and  focusing  it. Taking what’s messy and putting some polish on it. Saturn Rx in Scorpio is not about convention, btw (not that kind of polish). It’s about reaching deeper, stretching further (so that you pull a muscle) and coming up with a  meaningful focus . Going to where it aches, and finding the truth, and allowing  those l...

2014 Astro-Note:   Venus is in Aries a short blast from May 2nd to the 28th, 2014.  Revive passion with an old flame, or breathe life into your steady thing.  This could be the start of something wonderful. Venus Aries Motif Open to the moment, with the wisdom of the Fool. The Goddess Brigid, and fires of smithcraft.  When things heat up, new shapes are possible. Starting a whole new creative endeavor. Teasing each other out of stagnation. Action-adventures, overcoming with courage. Foolish Lovers Aries is a fool that rushes in.  So Venus in this brave sign inspires even shy lovers to action.  Is there someone you've been worshiping from afar?  When Venus is in Aries, the love mood favors bold action, and taking chances. What's the worst thing that can happen?  I love that song "Everybody Plays the Fool" that 1972 song by the Main Ingredient (and later recorded by Aaron Neville).  We all play the Fool sometimes...

Note for 2014:   The eclipses of April 2014 fall at 25 Libra (April 15th) and 9 Taurus (April 28th).  The eclipses of October 2014 fall at 15 Aries (Oct 8th) and 0 Scorpio (Oct 23rd). Look on your birth chart for any direct hits to planets or significant points.  Eclipses and Trailings By looking at where the  Eclipse falls in the Houses, you get a sneak preview of what's to come (or in progress).  And it's also instructive to look at planetary contacts to the eclipse. If there's a conjunction to a natal planet (within 5 degrees), this is the  eclipse ruler. Some astrologers say the last planet aspected by the eclipse, is your main symbolic messenger. An eclipse though, isn't always dramatic or shocking. It's often a subtle, inward, and sometimes profound unfoldment, that happens over a period of time (six months is the rule). Eclipses that aspect the Sun Sun engagement with eclipses are significant miles...

If you've ever gazed up at the night sky and seenVenus shining bright and beautiful, you will already have absorbed some of the qualities that this planet represents. Cool, silvery and also mysterious, Venusappears sometimes as the evening star, and sometimes as the morning star. The beauty of this planet is elusive and intriguing as it seems to move about in the sky.  In astrological psychology, Venus represents the drive to be selective and choose, using discrimination.Venus is associated with our ability to form relationships, to develop and express our aestheic tastes and preferences, to pursue what is harmonious and beautiful and, as a sensory organ, to use our physical sense of taste. The energies of Venus will be as fully engaged when you're eating a meal, as when you're visiting an art gallery, deciding on a colour scheme or forming a new friendship. 17.6.1980 at 14.12 in Lynwood, CA, USA This is the chart of tennis player Venus Williams.

What's Up:   Take note, Venus is in Aquarius from March 5th to April 5th in 2014.  The fresh air whirls around in love and friendship, with Venus in this air sign.  This follows a long, 'heavy' time with Venus in Capricorn (early Nov 2013 to March 5th).  The 2014 March forecast features Venusian behavior, with aspects that free relationships from deeply ingrained patterns.  A key word is freedom, to update our social lives, to align with who we've become and are becoming.  Social Buzz Venus has been under the influence of Saturn, the planet of responsibility while in Capricorn.  Now the love planet has some  breathing room  in this air sign--  what's favored is meeting others in a friendly, detached way. The Venus Aquarius  natives  are restless, and ready to break with convention.  The same tired way of engaging, stilted etiquette and the habits of being  politicall...
