During this period of the month – approximately the middle of July – Pluto transits the Sun, deeply influencing the Cardinal signs of the zodiac: Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn. In astrology, Pluto is unanimously accepted as the master of transformation, creating waves of change in our lives as Pluto’s energies impact us on a soul-deep level. Pluto forces us to face the darkest and most well-hidden parts of our inner selves, thus leading to a true inner revolution. The energies of Pluto bring about important realizations about us in particular, and about the world and life in general. This is why oftentimes Pluto transits engender in us feeling of helplessness and powerlessness – we are forced to face ‘the dark’ in order to find light and to grow. Things change on a deeper level, inside of us, and with this shift of values, experiences, feelings, and so on comes close encounter with the unknown. However, the bright side of this rather turbulent inner transformati...

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...

The New Moon in Cancer will occur on the 27 th of June. This lunation is all about the waxing and waning of the Moon, which on a symbolical level stands for our lives’ waxing and waning. Therefore, this New Moon can be seen as an organic astrological event. Both the Sun and the Moon are in the same sign, so the New Moon also represents an important energetic threshold for us all. When a New Moon occurs, it is recommended to perform a ritual. IT doesn’t have to be something extremely complex or grand; the key-element to any ritual is the soul presence you bring into it. One ritual suggestion is to light a candle in the colors of the Cancer sign – white and yellow. You could also light the candle several days before the New Moon actually occurs, because this is how any person should prepare a New Moon ritual -- with the targeted astrological sign in mind (by “the targeted astrological sign” we refer to the Sun sign in which the New Moon occurs). It is a shaman...

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...

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...
