Emotional Crisis Moon

Taking place in the last decant of the Libra, Monday evening’s First Quarter Moon is established as a time when the initiating lunar cycle’s tension peaks, leading to a “crisis in action” regarding our attempts to advance in a certain area of our lives. With the Cancer emphasis, and under the reflectively inward orientation of the Cancer Mercury Retrograde period, at this time inner goals resonate with us most strongly as opposed to outer ones. Can you free yourself of outward diversions, thus turning to the inside with love, awareness, and sympathy? It is well said that having a compassionate connection with ourselves – at the deepest possible level – is a prerequisite to being able to reach out to others with compassion. Just like a deep-sea diver, in order to establish a strong connection with ourselves, we need weights to find the depths we seek and to actually go down. The effort put into harvesting the fruit of inner work is well worth it. However, the Moon in Libra wants ba...

July 2013 Intense Astrological Outlook

July’s astrology revolves around Mercury, Jupiter, Chiron, Neptune, and Saturn. Throughout the month, Mercury is retrograde in Cancer, if you also take into consideration the period of its retrograde shadow. Mercury’s backward motion changes to direct motion on July 20th and it escapes its retrograde shadow in early August. Some of the probable occurrences during this period are the usual symptoms of missed connections and mechanical breakdowns, along with the inner reflection – also a characteristic of this period – given that our mental process runs backward. Introspection becomes all the more important after realizing that paramount decisions and choices need to be made if life is to continue in a relevant, valuable way. This summer is the appropriate time to analyze core beliefs regarding where your life is taking you – you may be amazed by what you can indeed accomplish once you reorient yourself to soul purpose. Probably the most important characteristic of these current con...

A Difficult New Moon

The New Moon will take place midnight Sunday on the west coast and early Monday morning on the east coast and Europe. This phenomenon happens in the middle of both sensitive Cancer and of the Mercury Retrograde period, coming along at one extreme peak of the entire Mercury Retrograde – during this lunation, the Sun and Moon are in conjunction with Mercury, moving backwards through Cancer, accompanied by the grand trine of Jupiter, Saturn, and Neptune in Water signs, while Saturn stations to direct motion. The Mercury Retrograde is intensified by the station direct of Saturn – an extremely significant event – especially since it takes place a mere two hours before the New Moon. This station is the reason why the trine between Saturn and Neptune lasts so long, only one half of a degree of exact trine since the beginning of June being between the two planets, closeness which lasts all the way through to the end of July. Saturn and Neptune are responsible for two rather contradictory ...
