Gratitude, after all, does not preclude criticism and analysis, but merely provides their proper grounding. Gratitude provides an invitation for change. Its absence is too often a formula for personal humiliation and destruction, "attacking" the perspectives of others rather than trying to understand them as one more contribution to the elusive search for truth.

Why Snakes Shed Their Skin

 


The fact that snakes can shed their skin has always fascinated those with a curious mind, especially children. There is just something about an animal that can slide out of its skin once or twice a month that fires the imagination.

 

But while snake shedding is the common phrase used to describe this process, it's not entirely accurate. In truth, snakes do not shed their skin. They shed a layer of ... well, shed. They retain their skin after shedding (obviously), and their skin is usually much more vibrant immediately after the shed.

 

When a snake sheds, it only loses the outermost layer of its skin, keeping the "skin proper" very much intact. Despite this technicality, and for the sake of simplicity, I will refer to the process by its common terminology (shedding skin) throughout this article.

 

I don't say all of this to demystify the process of a snake shedding its skin. No matter how much you know about it, the process of snake shedding is always a wonder to behold. I only say this to educate readers on the reason why snakes shed their skin and how the process really works.

Snake Shedding is Also Called Ecdysis

 

Ecdysis is the scientific term for shedding of the. In addition to snakes, other animals shed their skin. These include a variety of insects, arthropods and lizards. This process is also commonly referred to sloughing or molting the skin. With snakes, however, the word "shedding" is used most often.

Why Snakes Shed Their Skin

 

Basically, a snake will shed its skin to allow for continued growth. The skin of a snake is different from the skin of a mammal (including us) in that it does not grow as the animal grows. When we get bigger with age, our skin grows right along with us. But snake skin has a limited capacity for growth and enlargement. Thus, when a snake outgrows the skin it's in, it simply sheds the outer layer and starts fresh.

 

Do Snakes Ever Stop Shedding Their Skin?

 

A snake will shed its skin as long as it's growing, and snakes grow all through their lives. Thus, a snake will never stop shedding until death. With that being said, the frequency of snake shedding will certainly change during the snake's life. Younger snakes grow at a faster rate than mature snakes (as is the case with most other species). So a young, fast-growing snake will shed more frequently than an adult snake of the same species.

 

For example, I have a gopher snake that used to shed about every other week as it was growing from baby snake to juvenile. Now that same snake is nearly seven feet long -- a mature adult. And while he is still growing (and always will be), his rate of growth has slowed down considerably. These days, the snake only sheds about once every 45 days or so.

Problems When Shedding

 

Snakes sometimes have trouble shedding their skins, both in the wild and in captivity. In captivity, it's usually not a big deal when a snake has trouble shedding, because the owner can use several techniques to help the pet snake complete the shed. These techniques include soaking the snake, misting the snake, increasing the room's humidity, providing a moisture box, etc.

 

In the wild, however, the problem of an incomplete shed can more severe because there are no humans / owners to help out. When a wild snake has trouble completing its shed, the sheds can accumulate. This can lead to many problems, especially around the eyes. If a snake retains multiple "eye caps" from previous sheds, it can lead to blindness. And in nature, a blind snake is usually a dead snake.

 

In most cases, problematic sheds are due to a lack of moisture and/or dehydration. For example, if you were to keep a tropical snake species in Arizona, the snake would have trouble adjusting to the much drier air. Unless you did something to compensate for the lack of humidity (like using a humidifier or providing a moisture retreat), the tropical snake would likely have trouble shedding its skin completely.

 

In the wild, snakes can also become dehydrated during periods of lower than normal rainfall. The result would be the same as it would for captive snakes -- problematic shedding and other hydration-related health issues.

Layers of the Onion



Onions contain many layers and peeling them will often make one cry.

Well, human beings are the same way. When we begin to peel back our issues, with ourselves, in truth and love and one layer at a time- it will often make us cry.   We cry because we know we have grieved our soul and how much! Ouch!

 

One thing about onions is that it takes a really sharp knife to cut them and if you know how to take the sting out then you are ahead of the peel. Peeling back the layers of self can be very cleansing and freeing. You get all of that stinging, stinky stuff out of the way.

 

When you get down to sautéing the onion in butter-it softens and begins to sweeten. It takes a patient chef, who peels and cuts with precision to get the onion cooked just right.

When we peel ourselves back we get down to the nitty-gritty and we find out what is underneath all of that stuff-the sweetness of self. Pure consciousness is pure love. Just as an onion cooks and the smell wafts through the house, love is the same way. When we cleanse ourselves with truth, honesty and repentance-then we can become a sweet smell too. No one does it for you though. It requires work on your part. A willingness to be peeled; and then to do the peeling. Coming clean with self is a freeing experience. The sooner it's done- the better off things will be.

 

Sometimes it takes another person to help us peel those layers. It's not just anyone-but the person that is sent to us. Sometimes there will be one, two or three. But if you are not willing to get real with yourself-it will never work. The sooner we quit hiding under those stinky layers, the better off we will be.

 

THEN the powers of attraction can work through us!

Medicinal Qualities Of Onion

 

  

 

The Benefits Of The Use Of Onion

In Herbal Preparations

 

 

 

Research shows that onions may help guard against many chronic diseases. That's probably because onions contain generous amounts of the flavonoid quercetin. Studies have shown that quercetin protects against cataracts, cardiovascular disease, and cancer. In addition, onions contain a variety of other naturally occurring chemicals known as organosulfur com-pounds that have been linked to lowering blood pressure and cholesterol levels.7

 

Onions contain 25 active compounds that appear to inhibit the growth of cancerous cells alliin being the main constituent. Onion has been found to help combat heart disease, inhibit strokes, lower blood pressure and cholesterol, and stimulate the immune system. The potassium salts and the flavonoides that are present perform an anti-inflammatory action. The essential oil is an expectorant, antiseptic, antifungal, anticoagulant, high-blood pressure, antithelmitic, balsamic, rubefciant, and has analgesic properties

 

In investigating the use of onion in medicinal terms, the onion is found to be a remedy for conditions with symptoms like those which are caused by exposure to onions, such as watering eyes, and a burning and running nose. When looking at the symptoms of cold, it is ironic that we would treat this ailment with an almost like-with-like therapy. Alliums are antibacterial and anti-fungal, so they can help ward off colds and treat colds with sinus congestion that shifts from side to side in the head. Onion will relieve coughs that cause a ripping or tearing pain in the throat or a cough that is merely an irritating dry tickle. The watery and inflamed eyes due to sinus congestion and hay fever will be greatly relieved with onion.

 

The onions ability to relieve congestions especially in the lungs and bronchial tract is hard to believe until you have actually witnessed the results. The drawing of infection, congestion and colds out of the ear is also remarkable.

 

The onion will relieve stomach upset and other gastrointestinal disorders and it will also strengthen the appetite.

 

Onions help prevent thrombosis and reduce hypertension, according to the American Heart Association. 8 The natural constituents of yellow or white onions can "...raise HDL cholesterol by 30% over time", according to Dr. Victor Gurewich of Tufts University.9

 

The onion is being used for compresses to be applied to the skin for acne, arthritis, and congestion, and used internally for worms. The onion is also known for its diuretic properties.

 

There have been cases in which the onion has been proven to be so effective as an antiviral that a cut piece of onion placed in a closed off room will prevent the person in the room to be safe from viruses.

 

Onion will relieve headache centred behind the forehead; earache in children and adults; stuffed up nose with discharge that makes nostrils and upper lip sore or stuffed up nose with discharge from the alternate nostril; toothache, especially in the molar area or the shifting from side to side or from one tooth to another; hoarseness and the early stages of laryngitis; abdominal colic in babies.

 

Keeping cooler rooms in the home, and getting plenty of fresh air may prevent the symptoms of a stuffy nose and hoarseness.

Sixes And Nines Means Chaos

 

To be at sixes and nines means chaos. This a variation of the more common phrase, at sixes and sevens. I learned this when I was a kid when I heard or read it somewhere. I was curious about the origin, so I looked it up. I had suspected it came from either a clock or a deck of cards, but I was a little surprised to learn it might go back to the tradesmen of the 1500's in Britain.

Batteries

 

History and Timeline of the Battery

 

A battery, which is actually an electric cell, is a device that produces electricity from a chemical reaction. In a one cell battery, you would find a negative electrode; an electrolyte, which conducts ions; a separator, also an ion conductor; and a positive electrode.

 

Timeline of Battery History

   1748 - Benjamin Franklin first coined the term "battery" to describe an array of charged glass plates.

 

   1780 to 1786 - Luigi Galvani demonstrated what we now understand to be the electrical basis of nerve impulses and provided the cornerstone of research for later inventors like Volta to create batteries.

 

   1800 Voltaic Pile - Alessandro Volta invented the Voltaic Pile and discovered the first practical method of generating electricity. Constructed of alternating discs of zinc and copper with pieces of cardboard soaked in brine between the metals, the Voltic Pile produced electrical current. The metallic conducting arc was used to carry the electricity over a greater distance. Alessandro Volta's voltaic pile was the first "wet cell battery" that produced a reliable, steady current of electricity.

 

   1836 Daniell Cell- The Voltaic Pile could not deliver an electrical current for a long period of time. Englishman, John F. Daniell invented the Daniell Cell that used two electrolytes: copper sulfate and zinc sulfate. The Daniel Cell lasted longer then the Volta cell or pile. This battery, which produced about 1.1 volts, was used to power objects such as telegraphs, telephones, and doorbells, remained popular in homes for over 100 years.

 

   1839 Fuel Cell - William Robert Grove developed the first fuel cell, which produced electrical by combining hydrogen and oxygen.

 

   1839 to 1842 - Inventors created improvements to batteries that used liquid electrodes to produce electricity. Bunsen (1842) and Grove (1839) invented the most successful.

 

   1859 Rechargeable - French inventor, Gaston Plante developed the first practical storage lead-acid battery that could be recharged (secondary battery). This type of battery is primarily used in cars today.

 

   1866 Leclanche Carbon-Zinc Cell - French engineer, Georges Leclanche patented the carbon-zinc wet cell battery called the Leclanche cell. According to The History of Batteries: "George Leclanche's original cell was assembled in a porous pot. The positive electrode consisted of crushed manganese dioxide with a little carbon mixed in. The negative pole was a zinc rod. The cathode was packed into the pot, and a carbon rod was inserted to act as a currency collector. The anode or zinc rod and the pot were then immersed in an ammonium chloride solution. The liquid acted as the electrolyte, readily seeping through the porous cup and making contact with the cathode material. The liquid acted as the electrolyte, readily seeping through the porous cup and making contact with the cathode material." Georges Leclanche then further improved his design by substituting the ammonium chloride paste for liquid electrolyte and invented a method of sealing the battery, inventing the first dry cell, an improved design that was now transportable.

 

   1881 - J.A. Thiebaut patented the first battery with both the negative electrode and porous pot placed in a zinc cup.

 

   1881 - Carl Gassner invented the first commercially successful dry cell battery (zinc-carbon cell).

 

   1899 - Waldmar Jungner invented the first nickel-cadmium rechargeable battery.

 

   1901 Alkaline Storage - Thomas Alva Edison invented the alkaline storage battery. Thomas Edison's alkaline cell had iron as the anode material (-) and nickelic oxide as the cathode material (+).

 

   1949 Alkaline-Manganese Battery - Lew Urry developed the small alkaline battery in 1949. The inventor was working for the Eveready Battery Co. at their research laboratory in Parma, Ohio. Alkaline batteries last five to eight times as long as zinc-carbon cells, their predecessors.

 

   1954 Solar Cells - Gerald Pearson, Calvin Fuller and Daryl Chapin invented the first solar battery. A solar battery converts the sun's energy to electricity. In 1954, Gerald Pearson, Calvin Fuller and Daryl Chapin invented the first solar battery. The inventors created an array of several strips of silicon (each about the size of a razorblade), placed them in sunlight, captured the free electrons and turned them into electrical current. Bell Laboratories in New York announced the prototype manufacture of a new solar battery. Bell had funded the research. The first public service trial of the Bell Solar Battery began with a telephone carrier system (Americus, Georgia) on October 4 1955.

 

  1964 - Duracell was incorporated.

Ouroboros

One is All

The Ouroboros is a Greek word meaning 'tail devourer,' and is one of the oldest mystical symbols in the world. It can be perceived as enveloping itself, where the past (the tail) appears to disappear but really moves into an inner domain or reality, vanishing from view but still existing.

The ouroboros has several meanings interwoven into it. Foremost is the symbolism of the serpent biting, devouring, or eating its own tail. This symbolizes the cyclic Nature of the Universe: creation out of destruction, Life out of Death. The ouroboros eats its own tail to sustain its life, in an eternal cycle of renewal. It is sometimes depicted in a lemniscate shape (figure eight) as well.


The Serpent biting its own tail is first seen as early as 1600 years BC in Egypt as a symbol of the sun, and represented the travels of the sun disk. From there it moved to the Phonecians and then to the Greeks, who gave it its name, Ouroboros, which means devouring its tail.


In mythology, the Oroborus is a symbol representing the Milky Way galaxy. Myth refers to a serpent of light residing in the heavens. The Milky Way is this serpent, and viewed at galactic central point near Sagittarius, this serpent eats its own tail. Many ancients used the galaxy to calculate cosmic and earth cycles.


It is found in Gnosticism and alchemy representing cyclical natural life and the fusion of opposites. It also symbolizes the transcendence of duality and was related to the solar God Abraxas, and signified eternity and the soul of the world.

 
In alchemy, it represents the spirit of Mercury (the substance that permeates all matter), and symbolizes continuous renewal (a snake is often a symbol of resurrection, as it appears to be continually reborn as it sheds its skin.), the cycle of life and death, and harmony of opposites. As a symbol of the eternal unity of all things, the cycle of birth and death from which the alchemist sought release and liberation. It unites opposites: the conscious and unconscious mind. Alchemically, the ouroboros is also used as a purifying glyph.

 

The alchemical textbook, Chrysopoeia (gold making) of Kleopatra contains a drawing of the ouroboros representing the serpent as half light and half dark, echoing symbols such as the Yin Yang, which illustrates the dual nature of all things, but more importantly, that these opposites are not in conflict. The book is mainly centered around the idea of 'one is all,' a concept that is related to hermetic wisdom.


History
The Ouroboros appears in many other cultures and settings as well...the Serpent Jormungand of Norse legend, one of the three children of Loki and Angrboda, grew so large that it could encircle the world and grasp its tail in its teeth. It guarded the Tree of Life, and is often depicted as an ouroboros.

The Aztec serpent God Queztacoatl was depicted similarly, and Chinese alchemical dragons have both similar shapes and meaning.


In Hindu, you have the dragon circling the tortoise which supports the four elephants that carry the world.

Grow Into the Image you Imagine
Iguana in Full Bloom

 


Tokay Geko Morphs

We are all seeking to morph like the Iguana into the full bloom of our authentic self. In the last month I have been thr
ough the mill, forwards and backwards, backwards and forwards. It feels very much like the video that is included in the piece on why the snake sheds its skin. It takes a lot of effort to reveal our second skin and remove the residue of the previous layers of life and other lives.
 
It is essential for life for the snake and reptilian species and it is essential for human's to shed and be renewed too. That is the way it is and we must endure. The wood frog endures despite the freezing temperatures so whether things blow hot or cold we need to keep ourselves healthy within our skin. This too will pass. 
Wood Frog Freeze Tolerance


We are not what we were and we are not what we are going to become. We are still shedding and mutating but we are enduring.

Betwixt and Between

We are on a new pathway but we need to be nurturing and careful with ourselves. We need to explore the depth and breadth of possibility and that may mean roaming away from what was or what we thought would be. Allowing ourselves to be scared by this idea is likely the opening that is needed and the pinhole through which new awareness flows. We are in a rarefied dimension of limitless possibilities and unknown outcomes. Even in the darkest darkness there is a glimmer of light. Follow it. All our reference points are changing as we upgrade to the 21st century model, the first century of the third millennium. Predisposition and automatic impulse are aligned with higher channels of mental astuteness. We get smarter.

 

We need to have an excellent relationship with being peaceful within. It is the port in the storm where we can find refuge when needed. It is becoming easier to practice peacefulness, to want to and to steer around the ruckus and disorder of others with inner peace. Surf the waves of transformative energy that mimic disorder. A velocious blast of evolutionary metamorphosis blows away the dross and leaves us with our core elements in tack. We are where we want to be. Chaos is the conveyor of universal order and the cosmos wants you to adapt to and understand the purpose of chaos.

  

Follow the light, Feel the Music, Namaste, Sam

Daily Calendar

22ND During this month of transition we get in touch with our inner light and share it with others. The Sun in Sagittarius is a social season; we feel playful, spontaneous, fun-loving and curious with these happy-go-lucky influences. Spontaneous and quick witted it is easy to get carried away, to go overboard or speak without thinking. So enthused about espousing on an idea, we miss the information presented by others. The momentum is picking up to a lively pace. Spirits are raised by optimism. We are easily whisked away by distractions. The things to avoid are jumping to conclusions or assumptions, wearing blinders and refusing to entertain paradox. Missed objectives will result from the inability to adjust or correct our course.

 

The Moon enters Sagittarius right behind the Sun and we start this solar month with another New Moon. It is a blessing. There is good luck, good fortune, successful venture and enough profit to sustain us. It feels as if something has blown over and left us to feel free. Inner direction is strong as is the pull to act on it. We are compelled to do what we believe we must. It promises to be a successful endeavour. It cannot proceed without change; there are modifications and alterations to most anything to make it work after inception.

 

23RD Chiron will station and while standing it is preparing to move in direct motion. No more self-inflicted wounds caused by inner conflict. Taking in more of the external world we see the bigger picture and needs that are greater than the microscopic self. Healing fear continues to be a priority. Broken situations get attention. Repairs and improvements will proceed. We are pulling key elements of life together. We can reach out to each other because we are less conflicted and antagonistic so change can come more swiftly and without limitation.

 

24TH An abundance of energy comes on strong which can be a little discombobulating. Feeling restless, impulsive, eager and rash; we can overextend ourselves in a clumsy out of control streak; one that can be extravagant. Certain conclusions that are within reach will take us too far too fast. Be careful not to get into accident or incident, this is not unlucky, it is just stretching our ability to be in control and disciplined. Competitive instincts are out of whack too. Others feel we are putting them down when we are only trying to help. Unrealistic expectations can be another issue. We can get caught up in our own and other people's impossible tasks. Being in this accelerated state we have an opportunity to review our habitual routines from a fresh perspective.

 

25TH Entering a time of much promise, we are much more set on development and less worried about setbacks and defeats. Combined with abundant energy this can translate into being short sighted. We need to look at the long view because the stimulation to push ahead will not stop short of its objective. Getting a fix on the long range goal is important. Wasting these powers with unreasonable behaviour is a shame. Very strong regenerative forces can be used to improve health and physicality. It is always best to use these energies for positive and progressive reasons. In the wrong hands they can manifest in vengeance or destructive action.

 

The Crescent Moon is also a sign of promise, rehabilitation, restoration, rebuilding and regeneration. We feel we have a better relationship with what we must do. Our minds are wrapped around our responsibilities and objectives. Committed to the long game we have more faith in the suggestion of promise. Relationships are nurtured and sweetened to work together with clear intention. Corporate and government intentions have to be worked on to gain clarity and direction.

 

27TH While a sorting of power is occurring we feel that our power base is slightly off kilter. It is best not to over-react to this sensation. Those easily frustrated by a constraint can turn masochistic. It can cause others to spiral down into defeatism and fear. We are inextricably entangled with mass humanity. This affects our individual state. A lack of central trust in life creates emotional insecurity. Without realising it we create our failure and trigger a reaction in the world so it will oppose us. Embrace these intense transformative vibrations and work with them rather than let them be the cause of us working against ourselves. Draw back from making projections. There is no sense in overlaying the world with a ruthless unforgivable viewpoint. We are all a mysterious barrier opposing ourselves. It is our own choice to remake our own life. Take on the task of making a breakthrough with the limitations that present themselves at this time.

 

We can change how we care for ourselves and be there for others too. The family structure will go through some sort of transformation out of necessity. It is possible to make order out of disorder and calm down chaos through insight and compassion. We are more congenial about the differences between ourselves and others. Sudden events represent a breakthrough so entertain experimentation and redefine wherever vulnerable. We are vulnerable enough in our individuality that we can try to understand other ideologies, races, ethnic groups or nationalities. Human nature takes a good hard long look at itself.

 

We are getting into position in many dimensions. We are drawn together with others on the same path as we are treading. It is possible to apply strict limits for the right reasons and be a role model for others. Taking the lead with our beliefs we are more devoted, dedicated and committed. Being very protective of our beliefs we set our sights on a higher level of mastery. Ambitions can be set very high in a practical and responsible way.

 

The mind really gets buzzing when Mercury enters Sagittarius. It is a hot zone of activity in a sign that quickens and stimulates our molecules anyway. Many questions will flood the mind but fewer of the details will stick. We can be too blunt, shocking, pestering or humorous for some to entertain. It is too easy to make mistakes. On the other hand we are open to new ideas, new concepts and higher wisdom so do not be afraid to entertain the strange or unfamiliar.

 

28TH Whatever festers at this time is an echo of some reincarnational condition from a past life. Healing old wounds is one of the most difficult problems people face. Without the help of someone who can fathom the multi-dimensional implications it can be harder to identify the nature of our issue. Someone who is objective and skilled, like an astrologer, can help unravel the knot in the soul's tapestry. Whatever we do now, we need to feed our soul. Global consciousness is raised with these universalising energies.

 

29TH The First Quarter Moon signals the first critical passage of the month, where we are tried and tested or challenged in some way. We have to come up with an answer to a burning question. Puzzled and confused it takes a lot of dexterity to follow the thread through to its conclusion. What a tangled conglomeration! Be patient and persevere to reach a positive outcome. We will find a way. Stay in the centre of your identity to find the clue.

 

1st Self-motivational passion increases our ability to stay on a well scripted program. We are impressed with our own persistence which increases our ability to focus. Maximum accomplishment with minimal exertion gives us a sense of purpose and direction. A steady building of practical application achieves its goals. Take advantage of the opportunity to attain what is usually more difficult to realise. We can prevail over difficulty and persist regardless of imposition.

 

2ND The truth of the matter is more evident than we might wish. It is risky to act on impulse as instincts are clashing with other facets of our life structure. Even acting through conventional means can fall short of the mark. Anger or pain can accompany this process of revelation. Whatever life hands us; we need to find a way to make it work in a way never before tried. Innovativeness broadens and expands our horizons of what can be. Be a perpetual seeker of what can be created. This underlying irritant when not channelled appropriately can turn into passive-aggressive behaviour, bullying, criticism, quarrels, breaking the rules, defensiveness, wearing blinders and being one-pointed.

 

At the Gibbous Moon Phase of this lunar month we are encouraged to incorporate deeper knowledge and uncontaminated truth. It is the phase of the moon where we take in what we need to know and this month it is accentuated. We are drawn to what we need or are meant to do. It is easier to shake loose from anything holding us back or things we are attached to. The imagination and intuition are strong and vibrant. We perceive the missing links and find the creative solutions. Competition is at a peak and we will win successfully if we think unconventionally. Be inventive and original.

 

3RD The on-going chaotic disorder continues to shake up pre-existing rigidities. Thinking on our feet we need to remain free, fluid, open and unobstructed in our self-expression. Old patterns, daily routines and the structures of life are breaking down, like the infrastructure of some cities and countries. The motivation to make life an original statement of our uniqueness can create some extreme responses. The flaws or weaknesses are revealed but we need not wreck things simply...readjust. Sometimes it is easier to say than do. But it is our task as a member of humanity during a time of extreme evolution. When we wade through the debris and fend our way through this experimental phase we find a breakthrough that supports continuance. Originality and uniqueness are the inner gifts we are unwrapping. We will improve upon old ways and means.

 

When Vesta enters Capricorn spirituality meets reality and a metamorphic convocation will occur as the days pass and this planet gains power. The higher powers are aligned with the justice of cause and effect, truth and balance as well as the forces of reconciliation and resolution. A powerful healing is possible through universal means. Ethereal as well as manifested rewards come from accomplishment, perseverance, discipline and responsibility. Pure and honest ambitions can succeed. We are willing to sacrifice ourselves for something ultimately important. Being more self-critical than usual we are easily made to feel guilty. Rigid people can temporarily lose power or control. There is a weakness or opening into their stronghold

 

4TH Mars entering Aquarius helps quite a bit to turn our attention toward innovation and the benefit of all of society. Global disquiet and governmental difficulties raise concerns within special interest groups. Issues with authority figures can arise in an attempt to do things differently and hopefully better. The inventiveness we gain from Aquarius helps us to create new systems, organisations, plans, designs, methods, standards and patterns. Personal choice is interwoven with concern for the greater good. The status quo is challenged to meet mutual concerns.

 

6TH The Full Moon's light shines brightly on our intimate core state. It illuminates the path we want to follow so we can sort ourselves out and manage our affairs to get ourselves there. We can see how far off track we are and what an effort it will take to empower the course corrections. Enthusiasm accompanies our new view so we are encouraged in an optimistic way to stretch our capacity to the limit. Nervous exhaustion is a worry for some and we must consider those who are sensitive. Great fortitude and mental acuity gives us the drive we need.

 

We are on a new pathway but we need to be nurturing and careful with ourselves. It is easy to overdo the caretaking of others in an over-reaction to need but we must remain centred on self-needs. Everyone needs to cultivate their independence and autonomy. Being too concerned with choices we easily give into inadequacy, incompetency or powerlessness. We need to cultivate confidence, courage and self-reliance. Self-will is easily corrupted by fearful thoughts, repressed anger and childhood issues. Wherever anger has not been addressed there is bound to be a shadow.

 

Our evolutionary path begins with the autonomy of the self and continues usually with a joining together with others. We are born alone and die alone in a sense because it is a process no one can do for us. Between these two events we feel the urge to relate, one of the most stressful aspects of human life. When relating we disclose our innermost self and assimilate adjustments to our significant other. At this time we will be dealing with that mix. It is time to assess the results of our interactions and come to conclusions about which way to proceed. We evaluate how our priorities are interspersed with others, make adjustments or slip out of situations where balance is not respected. It is time to even the score.

 

7TH Positive influences help marriage and relationship. They ease the strife of the recent past. Greater comfort and support, a more natural flow and respecting each other equally helps us to move forward in tandem toward individual directions. A blending of two or more lives together carries good intentions. Relationships formed over this time will be deep mutually nurturing relationships. Children and step parents within extended families are accepted and integrated more readily.

 

Once relationship is secured and mutual accord is reached we are comfortable pursuing our personal goals, self-awareness and self-development. How we grow enhances our relationship with this individualizing commitment. We are creating a new relationship paradigm, a way to do things our own way and still include others. The masculine expression is the most changed by these developments. Being dedicated to our goals and capable of unwavering devotion to our commitments we are capable of distancing ourselves emotionally in order to understand a new level.

 

8TH When Jupiter retrogrades we are asked to rely on our own resources, our internal knowledge and personal perspective. We are less able to rely on outside sources and find we would rather be self-reliant and assured. Big expenses can occur, use up our financial reserves or require quick remedies. A narrowed focus confines us to what is truly important. We let go of that which is incomplete and requires too much energy. The exaggerated value of things is easily discarded for what is of more worth. We exercise our integrity, examine our code of ethics and evaluate our honesty. We must not be disloyal to our true self. There is a tendency however to have our psychological defence mechanisms triggered. We overreact to something triggering discomfort or anxiety.

 

9TH Dilemmas will send us on a search for resolution but the only answers available seem to come from within. We must not let our opinions become inflated but we must be self-reliant. An easily outraged ego can over think itself and use up too much energy or resources. No definition or way of being is absolutely concrete; society's cultures are diverse and varied. Exaggerated values need to be modified to retain integrity. We must recognise the right of every person or group of persons to exercise their right for freedom of creative intelligence. We must also be loyal to our true self. Humanity is evolving through unconventional times when originality is at the forefront of our beliefs. Defence mechanisms are triggered by discomfort or anxiety.

 

10TH This Disseminating Moon we are serious about the information we wish to share with others. We feel very sincere that it is worthy. How other people receive the information is vastly different from what we expect. We are drawn to that which is true to our purpose. To beat our drum and stand on our pulpit without an audience will cause us to miss the answers that can come by way of others. It would be natural to worry about money, there isn't enough for the demands of this time but it will come slow but sure.  

 

We can become quite pragmatic about finances and realistic about financial planning with Venus in Capricorn. With a goal to increasing our assets and streamlining our liabilities we search for value and craftsmanship when making purchases. We connect with people who can help us get ahead. This influence is good for improving our reputation, gaining respect and acknowledgement and upgrading our position. We are better able to keep our feelings under control.

 

11TH For the next few months take the opportunity to capitalise on the resources of the unconscious mind and to cultivate contacts formed over a long period of time. First of all we realise our illusions, delusions, unrealistic expectations, misapprehensions or self-deceptions as we penetrate the mirage of things. Once these are cleared we are inspired and our dreams are conveyors of clarity. Creatively inspired energies are especially good for the artistically minded but everyone benefits. These are highly spiritualised energies as well for those who enjoy that side of life. For just about anyone there can be some strange and intimate feelings that will emerge. Be careful of people who appeal to cherished ideals con-vincingly. Be careful to avoid ill-thought-out actions based on confused understandings. Another side to these effects is a lowered immune system and energy levels. We are easily exhausted and need to boost immunity to avoid illness.

 

12TH Peacefulness is something we can work with. It will be the conveyor of inspiration and insight. We need to have an excellent relationship with being peaceful within. It is the port in the storm where we can find refuge when needed. Excellent powers of imagination help the artist and scientist alike. Detaching from falsities we answer the call to be true to our inner spirit. In this very tangible clarity we can back away from disappointment and visualize the future. Seeing the naked truth with less emotion will clear up repressed emotions and help us to face the limitations of others. Increased sensitivity and compassion helps us to think and feel collectively.

 

14TH The Last Quarter Phase is symbolically the "last call" in the lunar month. We either step up to the plate with whatever we are pursuing or we change course and concentrate on something else. It is important to choose individually so that everyone follows their own stars. Let rootedness dissolve into the etheric where it becomes potential. We need to explore the depth and breadth of possibility and that may mean roaming away from what was or what we thought would be. Allowing ourselves to be scared by this idea is likely the opening that is needed and the pinhole through which new awareness flows.

 

Call it a ricochet, an aftershock or rogue tidal wave because of the havoc it creates but actually we are having another overload of transformative energy. In this stage we will try to make sense of chaos, we will try to assimilate disorder and we will be dancing a marathon. Any vulnerability we have will feel the velocity of this transmission and it will be triggered into metamorphosis. The epic experiences of the past three years leave us to put Humpty Dumpty back together again. If there are any paradigms that need to be jolted into the 21st century they will be illumined. The last opportunity to let go, detach or breakthrough is coming in March. If we find ourselves dwelling on what we will do it is likely the plan will take place in March. Mostly we are exploring our new sense of destiny. Many will experience a revelation. The rebirth of hope albeit in a new and foreign form presents the challenge of manifesting its reality. We are in a rarefied dimension of limitless possibilities and unknown outcomes. Even in the darkest darkness there is a glimmer of light. Follow it.

 

15TH When Juno retrogrades we look at our conditional agreements, our commitments, partnerships and relationships. This planet has its own designs, order, conviction and demands so what we should look at is how we project onto others. Perhaps it is an unresolved pattern, an unintegrated characteristic of personality or misaligned aspect of the soul, whatever causes anger, storminess or disturbance is a personal issue. The good, the bad, the blissful or painful relationship memories flood the thoughts. Cut the chords, threads or knots and dissolve the remnants of past agreements so relationship from this day forward can be a co-created arrangement. Relationships are tested with karmic intervention.

 

16TH Mercury is highly functional when it operates through Capricorn. Becoming more methodical, slow, structured and ordered we make the most of our mind. Getting things done is easier. We become more practical, objective, systematic and well organised. The limitation lies in getting too much information coming at one time, we cannot deal with system overloads as well as we can manageable reception. Paperwork is made easy by these comprehensive influences. A little more serious, a little stricter and perhaps impatient we tend toward judgemental ideas.

 

17TH No one is going to do it for us. If we over commit ourselves we will be left to our own devices which challenges our ability to deliver. Best if we remain moderate. It is possible to excel at receiving and imparting information. We can focus, retain details, discover what has been excluded and synthesise the broad picture too. This is a positive trend for politics or law as old issues can be resolved.

 

18TH The Balsamic Moon Phase is one of the magical times of the lunar month. So much can be conveyed in a mere suggestion, a whiff of an inspiration or a simple hint. We are ready to perceive through our senses and understand through our subconscious. Many possibilities seed themselves at this time. It expands beyond the mere individual, community or nation; it is global. The boundaries between people are dissolving as we become "all is one" on the evolutionary level. Humanity is beginning to understand that they belong to a collective. If we hurt one segment of our world, we hurt ourselves.

 

20TH Very productive and fertile energies are building although we feel like we are required to be more self-reliant than ever. As we push forward we cannot rely on anything already established, we must ride the trend toward adventurous exploration of future potentials and be willing to stretch the margins of our reality with a comfortable flexibility. Reaching out toward prosperity we nonetheless revaluate according to worth not exaggerated value. There is so much more to learn now that we live more broadly. There is specialised teaching that many are lucky to learn. Integrity and honesty will sustain us. Relations with children are improved through re-examination and generous independence. Self-confidence and faith will grow as we cultivate a peaceful and spiritually connected inner core. Our earth will be better loved and appreciated by this trend.

 

Our strong and sharp reactions to people, events and performance are highly charged in their recoil. Very high energy is extremely innovative, unconventional, unusual, challenging and even revolutionary in a progressively restorative way. The weaknesses and flaws that occur let us know it is time to break the mould. Breakthroughs move us toward our evolution and new initiatives. We experience remarkable insights. Sudden events can change what is meant to change. Original thinking wants to do its own thing, we will not sit still; we will be busy. We can thrive on excitement and be outside our normal routine. It is difficult to coordinate as this energy can be disruptive or disconnected. On the down side the fragmented soul may feel everything is full of friction and pointless. We will learn from experience.

 

21ST We are pulling out of a bad time, accepting what we had to learn the hard way and restoring our healthy egos to follow renewed ambitions. With a healthy attitude toward the past we integrate, regulate and eliminate. Stimulated to rebuild we make the best of things to restore stability. There is a sense of this that will grow. Control measures are put into place where power struggle or warfare agitates for control. Impressed with our interdependence we plot survival measures that include collective agreement, convention and cooperation. There will always be pockets of radical emotional impulse where power struggle, violence, disruption and conflict will arise instead of growth. Avoid becoming a victim and stay away from unsafe neighbourhoods.

 

We are being introduced to the portal of universality. There is no place for subjective baggage or knee-jerk responses. Increasing our objectivity we find it easier to selectively pick our battles. Opening up to compromise releases tension and resolves dichotomy. All our reference points are changing as we upgrade to the 21st century model, the first century of the third millennium. Predisposition and automatic impulse are aligned with higher channels of mental astuteness; we get smarter.

 

When Uranus resumes direct motion it can kick us out of our complacency and thrust us into a direction we had not anticipated. On the other hand we can make a sudden leap forward with our intentions too. For some it can unleash that which has become pent-up which means there is some emotional volatility possible. The full measure of intuition, telepathy, clairvoyance and inventiveness is available once again. Insights, inspirations, meditations and vision quests lead us to positive solutions. Whether it is chaos or excitement that is released both are evolutionarily progressive. Being true to ourselves comes naturally. Uranus rules earthquakes, earth changes, big business, politics, new and old technology, unrest and it rules the masses. Watch the media to see what gets stirred up this time.

 

The Sun will enter Capricorn and within hours so too will the Moon and we once again begin a month on a New Moon. Blessings, be in synch with the lights that guide our world.

A wobble in your sense of personal power can make you defensive until you right yourself.

Doing something for the first time or having to conduct yourself as normal as possible in unique and unusual circumstances takes stamina. You take stock of what is involved in relationship be it family, friend, work or worship and evaluate where adjustments are needed to align with priorities. Close family relations are in accord. There is an easier flow with everyone feeling secure in being their own person. Whatever you take on of a work nature you will have to deal with it on your own, there is not help so be careful what you sign up for. You are either doing a mammoth crossword puzzle; a thousand piece intricate jigsaw puzzle or you are buried in questions and strategies. Caught in a trap of some kind you feel anxious and defensive or if playing a game; you want to win. Venus enters Capricorn to bring pleasant vibes and emanations your way.

Mercury joins you in Capricorn to give you a greater sense of soundness of mind. A greater ability to deal with detail makes you feel efficient. Keep yourself in reserve. Over committing yourself and your resources can loom large long before you realise how it all adds up. Generous to a fault and eager to make things happen you may tax your prosperity and use up some luck too. Very high innovative energy moves you toward the front line, in the spot light or to the centre of what is happening. Difficulties of the recent past are now the building blocks on which you build new routines and reconnections. Anything goes; there are no black and white, no absolute uncompromisable conditions. Uranus stationing getting ready to turn direct puts a ripple in your complacency. It is the end of things and the beginning of things.

Pisces Monthly Forecast 
Pisces

As the Sun moves into Sagittarius the religious aspects of the coming holiday season come to mind. You can be busy crafting or preparing for a Christmas performance. Chiron stations in preparation for resuming direct motion in Pisces. You can feel many stirrings across a broad spectrum of key elements but also you are compelled to reach out. You can put good energy to work and make it productive while keeping your attentions within range of realistic expectation. Some organic magic is stirring, working on the molecules of being creating progressive improvement and opportunities for progress for you. Authority and power are skewed; those who are used to having it feel bereft while you will enjoy your level of empowerment. Change within the family structure gives you much to think about. You are shifting into position for something to take place for the right reasons. Mercury in Sagittarius requires you to keep control of your imagination, subjective feelings and asks you to protect old wounds. Whatever festers of its own free will is something beyond your control that needs to be changed or understood. Highly efficient top notch motivational passion helps you to find opportunity and make the most of it. The truth behind something from your past is hard to swallow, it creates some pain, maybe anger but in the end it cleanses. Once cleansed you can continue to broaden and expand. Self-control is the only sure control available. Control over extreme evolution is a misnomer. You are dissolving all encrustations on your soul and personality so you can enjoy the originality and uniqueness of your inner gifts. Let it be what it is and see what it becomes; a journey for the curious. Vesta in Capricorn helps you to focus. There is both a creative and a practical vent to this increased attentiveness. Playing with children in a responsible way is rewarding. Mars operating out of Aquarius stimulates your subconscious. It causes you to create new ambitions, goals and objectives. Tip toeing onto new and unfamiliar pathways of evolutionary intent presents you with many crossroads of responsibility for the correct choice. There are three categories of consideration, the autonomy of self, the necessity of interrelatedness and the extent to which priority and mutual benefit is being served. You want to nurture the right relationships and readjust the wrong relationships and in the process are creating a new relationship paradigm. More than ever before you will realise that you and your needs, separate to everyone else, require your unwavering dedication and devotion. A newfound commitment to self is secured. When Jupiter stations to go retrograde you will enter into a time of rarefied senses and profound insights. Mysteries, curiosities and dilemmas will send you on a search for answers that can only be found if the ego is well formed. Venus when in Capricorn will feel cold and unfeeling to you. People seem distant and reserved. Just continue to be you and do not let it faze you. Well tuned and well centred in you for the next few months you will receive intuitive guidance and will be inspired to follow adventurous innovations. Peacefulness is worth more than all the gold and silver in the world. You can escape into this zone when it serves you best. This is fortunate when you receive yet another blast of metamorphic transmutation. You are closer to zero point or square one, where you are meant to be, but it feels very discombobulating. Everyone is out of sorts. When Juno retrogrades you need to take a step back from storminess or disturbance to shed conditional expectations and realign yourself with co-created arrangements. Mercury in Capricorn is too functional; it causes you to feel bad about yourself. It is too easy to find fault, to reprimand and pass judgement then to believe others think what you are projecting. As always there is no fairy godmother, midnight elves or magic helpers who are going to do it for you. Keep your commitments within reason. Getting comfortable with modern flexibility is tricky. You can misguide yourself. Self-reliance is building. Overreactions to high energy, extreme actions and flaws in normal routine or sudden events that are disruptive or disconnected can put your off course. You are pulling out of a bad time and your strength is building and becoming more stable. Avoid destroying these fragile new beginnings. Become more universal, evolutionary, diversified and accept uniqueness. Uranus stations and will resume direct motion. When this happens it will release a gush of transformational signals. You can chaotically run off in all directions on impulse or choose to collect the compulsions and filter through them more rationally with time.


Aries Monthly Forecast
Aries

The Sun in Sagittarius will light your flame and help to build your fire. Anything is possible when you are all fired up. Expect the unexpected to be worthwhile. Chiron will stand still pivoting to direct motion which will generate some inner strength and lasting fortitude. Great gusts of jubilant energy connect you with completion of some impossible tasks. Eagerness is the scout of over-extension; withhold volunteering. Trying to fit in will get you into the wrong size and situation; it is okay to not fit in. Save your strength, build your power base and take the long road of positive progression. Cut your losses. The power game will mix things up consistently so the best place to be is in the middle, like the collector or express lanes on a multi-lane highway. There is nothing to be gained by charging ahead or volunteering to contribute; straddle the middle path. People change with age and capability and their needs or your ability to fulfil their needs has to change with them. The seniors in your life will go through a new phase. You as the younger person have to learn how to care under new conditions. Drawn to people who are dimensionally in league with your inner spirit your authentic self will grow. With Mercury in Sagittarius there will be spurts of impulsive curious energy that can get you into a tight corner or an embarrassing situation if they are not in control. Recoiling or withdrawing into yourself only makes things fester. Constraint and reservation will serve you better; it is only for a little while. Outbursts or excited dialogues get you in over your head. Even though the truth of the matter is very evident you have to keep it to yourself. It will sort itself into place without you calling attention to yourself in the process. The people you know will connect you to what you need or to other people who need what you offer. Vesta in Capricorn says be cool and carry on; let the back side slide. Important matters come to the front. There should be some excitement entering your everyday life when Mars enters Aquarius. Out of the ordinary occurrences enliven the mundane. Always keep your priorities in focus, cultivate your autonomy and independence from others as your confidence grows. There is a more natural flow between you and people you call friend, differences are easily accepted and you are ready to integrate with them. You are capable of distancing yourself from your emotions so you are able to include others. When Jupiter retrogrades you have the opportunity to put your ideas forward, rely on your inner knowledge or resourcefulness, and will be self-reliant and assured in presenting yourself before others. Words to the wise; get the ego out of the way, and originality is far more entertaining than anxiety. With Venus in Capricorn your tendency to make small purchases or incur little expenditures will add up to a larger sum than would be suspected. You are in tune with the people you relate to. You know what they are thinking and doing because you have a sense of them from afar. Detaching from the irrelevant has left you with a clearer mind so you can answer the call to be true to your authentic self. It will serve you well when the next to last metamorphic mega-wave of transmutation overloads your circuitry. The velocity of intense and chaotic transmissions can be self-propelling or overwhelming; either way it is one more opportunity to breakthrough where need be. Juno's retrograde does not calm the storm; it has its own disorder. There are unresolved or misaligned aspects that it inflicts on what we believe to be true. Cut the cords, threads or knots and dissolve old relationship karma. Mercury entering Capricorn is a steadying influence. With this you can let things float around you while taking care of what must be done until you can get back in rhythm. In the end, whatever must be attended, no one else is going to do it for you so try not to give yourself too much to attend. Productive self-reliance will be impressive, to others as well as to you. Be prepared for the odd curve ball; keep in step regardless, it's just a snowball on a flat surface so do not be startled by the disruptive. You are pulling out of bad times, management of your life needs some tweaks and changes as you become more stable. There is no room for excess baggage or automatic knee-jerk rallies and you must select your battles. Uranus will resume direct motion come month's end and thrust you into new involvements, maybe teamwork and other group activities.


Taurus Monthly Forecast 
Taurus

When the Sun enters Sagittarius you almost feel trapped by the impending season of joy that compounds this month of transition into winter. You certainly feel a little dread. It has been a tough year. Chiron will station turning direct which is good news as it lightens the load on the psyche. An abundance of energy is useful when it has a direction. Unused excess energy creates restlessness, clumsiness and exhaustion. The threshold of promise is preparing to open. Use your efforts to decide what you want your new progress to become. Insecurity and mistrust is a waste of your resources. Embrace intensity and work with it. Make changes to how you care for others, giving greater allowance to care for yourself. If there is any suddenness, it involves a breakthrough. Getting yourself into position is a priority, whatever your goals may be. Mercury entering Sagittarius enlivens everyday living. More cheerful and flexible you can enjoy more. An illness or an emotion that surfaces now can centre on something that has festered for some time. There is also a multi-dimensional implication involving reincarnation. Being rooted in the self and experienced in being self-motivational you will gain a greater sense of authority and self-reliance. You cannot miss the truth of the matter although you may not be equipped to do anything other than witness it. The hardest things you have to deal with are your rigidities. Extreme chaos will try to disorder them. It is in your best interest to let them break down. Cause and effect is strong when Vesta is in Capricorn. Justice and truth are uppermost and only pure and honest ambitions can succeed. You will observe this best in your close relationships. Mars in Aquarius may be the overload that makes your spark plug weaken. Too many frenzied emanations coming full on needs to be muffled. Fragile new beginnings or inroads can be trampled if you do not protect your priorities and choices. Other people reveal themselves to you when this balance is not respected within the relationship. Make adaptations to account for this. Positive and peaceful relations are what will remain in your life and they will flourish. Your personal goals get a boost and you experience a spurt of progress. Jupiter retrograde is good for centring in on your own internal needs and also for discerning true worth. You will have many questions and will be surprised at the answers you create as you redefine your reality with originality. Venus operating through Capricorn exudes the earthiness that you enjoy. You feel comforted by her vibrations whether you are with people or alone. For the next few months the ability to perceive, intuit, psychically know or anticipate will be stronger. This can be quite uncomfortable for you as you sense more than you want to and know more than is said or done. Being peaceful is the only way to feel good. Learning how to live with psychic reception is harder than you ever thought. A second to last blast of intense paradigm shifting transformative metamorphosis fills the atmosphere but after the experiences of the last two years you manage it well. Intense situations and power struggles disturbing the norm and creating crisis has become a regular event. Juno stationing retrograde does not help; the question is there any justice and the answers are varied and diverse even within your own mind. You may witness turbulence in the relationships of your friends. When Mercury is in Capricorn you take on responsibility readily and step up to the plate. Even if you do not know what is required to meet the need you are ready. Even though you know no one is going to do what you need to do for you, you are ready to be there for someone else. There is a growth spurt that comes after the recent storminess; you enjoy the wide variations that come with your personal growth. The unexpected and sudden simply add to your experience even if they set off a wide range of sensory reactions. In partnership, marriage or bonded relationship there can be relief as you pull out of hard times. Opening the mind to universal themes helps to mitigate the world's woes and make you feel grateful for what you have. Uranus stations and while standing still prepares to move forward which will release the molecules of change that have morphed and evolved inventively in a new form to provide your consciousness with new realisations.


Gemini Monthly Forecast
Gemini

The Sun enters Sagittarius, your polar opposite or shadow sign. Yeah you are halfway to your birthday. What the Sun illumines at this time are things that are common and ordinary but easy for you to miss. You have a sense of freedom when Chiron stations and prepares to move in direct motion. What has felt like a bind will drop away. It was self-inflicted. A rush of abundant energy can keep you awake at night. There is an eagerness to proceed or pressure to bring things to completion. Be far sighted and look at the big picture to make the most of the promise of opportunity. A shuffling of status can change your place in the power line up. Dominance is a fickle element. Due to loss or change in the family you will experience alterations in how each of you relate to each other. A sorting of souls so to speak brings you into contact with other people who are on the same path and believe in the same way. New friends can be found when Mercury passes through Sagittarius. The issues you have with old friends are found within you not them. Persistent effort brings maximum accomplishment in all areas of life, work, play, home and personal needs. Only the special few can tell you what you do not want to hear; listen to them. Do not despair or be heavy hearted; there is a light side and a positive note. Vesta operating through Capricorn has a tendency to put you into tilt mode if you get hung up on anything. Be philosophical and entertain humour. Mars in Aquarius can put air under your wings. It gives you a sense of self that gives you confidence. With this confidence you can promote yourself. You are blazing new trails, entering the unknown with curiosity and discovering more about yourself in the process. As you discover more about yourself you see into other people with a greater understanding. You grasp what the collective is about and get a glimpse of the meaning we are all one. Good relations help to make life more pleasant, progressive and hopeful. It is once again possible to consider personal goals and to work effectively toward them. Jupiter's retrograde will be helpful in considering all points, for gathering pertinent information and developing a plan. Many an argument will debate points of view but if you sit back quietly in your own time and passively consider things you will have a more dimensional understanding. Venus entering Capricorn tries to douse your fire with meaningless minutia and endless mind deadening detail. The idea is to pick through it for what is relevant. For the next few months your mind will tend to wander, it will pick up on subliminal ideas floating around in the atmosphere and pursue lines of communication inspired by intuitive thought. Feeling accomplished gives you a sense of peace but it can easily be disrupted if you surround yourself in distressing news casts. The forces of power and disaster converge for their second to last hurrah. It is metamorphic and transmuting but nonetheless intense and unsettling. You have the sense that it leads to a more universal order and that gives you hope. Juno's retrograde internalises the problems and issues you have been having with other people. You get a chance to discover what is festering inside. Mercury entering into Capricorn makes everyone too serious and you can have your moments but you try to stay light hearted. What is done is done and cannot be undone but what has to be done will not get done unless you do it. I'm just saying. Coming to your aid are some very productive and progressive emanations to provide the flexible confidence you need to push forward. You pick up quickly on even the slightest nuance and are easily sparked or ignited when something is of interest. Pulling out of what has-been some dark times you begin to see the light of a more generous truth. Do not spend too much time looking back trying to reason why, just move on and do better. Uranus stations turning in its orbit and getting ready to move direct once again. It is the first day of winter but to you it feels like something is springing forth. You are uplifted.

The Sun enters Sagittarius, what does it mean? It means you are entering the month of transition where fall turns into winter and the daylight gets less and less till we reach the shortest day. Since the invention of the electric light schedules have been able to continue uninterrupted and out of rhythm with the natural light. Your schedule would not allow you to be confined to daylight hours. Chiron will resume direct motion and in so doing eliminate the pain of self-reproach. Your mind is free from that vigil. You can turn the abundant energy you are experiencing into cash, or at least a value added experience. Strong regenerative powers will put you back in the driver's seat. You need to come clean to any misuse of power and influence. There is a need to volunteer to cooperate with changes in how family interactions and agreements are arranged. A repositioning of family hierarchy has been long in coming as recent dramatic experiences have made clear. Mercury entering into Sagittarius brings bright and lively expressions that make you feel good about yourself. Seemingly out of nowhere comes a festering issue, waiting in the wings for a good entrance. Whatever you are brooding about it boils down to a difference in values sanctioned by human rights. There is excellent energy available that would be better used for accomplishment but it can be squandered on obsessing over critical opinion. A background and underlying irritant may agitate and irritate you into ill temper. These trends are meant to shake up rigidities, loosen up up-tightness and accept the truth of the matter. Vesta will enter your polar opposite sign. In Capricorn, your shadow sign it will help to purify your thoughts, bring humour and refinement and expand your mind in ways that are ultimately important to you. Mars moving into Aquarius however throws a kink into your financial budget most likely for unexpected repairs. Family life is turning a corner as fragile new arrangements are engineered to make things the best for all. Take responsibility for how much of your innermost self, its opinions and assumptions you have shared with others. This is how rumours get started and reputations get tarnished within family. Flushing these things out makes for more positive interrelationship with family and extended family. When Jupiter retrogrades you will be able to extend a more sincerely generous involvement. Passing thoughts, feelings or impressions send you on a journey of discovery to find the answers to these ponderings. Venus enters Capricorn your polar opposite shadow sign but her radiance sheds warm loving and personable influence your way. For a few months your decisions will be intuitively guided. The past is revealed to you and truth is disclosed to you which stirs repressed emotions and helps you face the limitations of yourself and others. The metamorphic blast of transformational intent affects everyone around you with life changing impact. Juno's simultaneous retrograde is full of righteous indignation and moral authority but it needs to be explored for correctness. Mercury enters your shadow and polar opposite sign Capricorn offering you more detachment, objectivity and even a little indifference so you can sort through challenging aspects intelligently. Whatever lies before you, you can plot, scheme and manipulate but no one is going to do everything for you so get busy and do it yourself. The ability to stretch the margins of your reality with a comfortable flexibility helps you to live more broadly and feel more gratitude. Great leaps forward are possible but so is the tendency to recoil, react or fragment laterally. Those around you are pulling out of a very bad period of time and while you have had your challenges they cannot compare to the disaster or crisis of others. Chaos is the conveyor of universal order and the cosmos wants you to adapt to and understand the purpose of chaos. Uranus then turns direct letting everything out of Pandora's Box. Suppressed urges, repressed energies and restrained change are now released to fulfil themselves. Be careful with your financial expense, be mindful of recent financial burdens and the impact they have on your future spending.


Leo Monthly Forecast

The Sun enters fiery sign Sagittarius which helps your fire to burn more brightly. Great times with friends old and new entertain you. When Chiron resumes direct motion and you are seeking wholeness your family and childhood friends will come to mind. Great energy is available, it is almost overwhelming, and the increased enthusiasm can get you caught up in more than is a joy to do. The urge to push forward is very self-centred, you would do better to step back and take a longer or wider view of things. Due to what is beyond your control there will be a sorting of power that alters your power base. Because of what you witness you are better prepared for the transformation of your family structure. Being shuffled into position by the universal powers of the cosmos can only happen if you let go so what is truly meant for your can manifest. Mercury entering fiery Sagittarius brightens your mind and provides opportunities to make money. The travel itch festers in your mind; something you have probably loved for lifetimes. Working together as a team is more difficult than working on your own. Do not waste your energies managing everyone; get your own work done. The truth is staring you right in the face but you do not want to see it. The flux that is so much a part of everyday life at present continues to break down rigidities, resistances and denials. Vesta entering Capricorn gives you a sense of control and authority that boosts your ego. The planets do a do-se-do with Mars also entering Aquarius. This is your shadow sign and polar opposite so you gain in optimistic objectivity and a greater understanding of family. New unfamiliar pathways are opening up for you. People are disqualified from continuing with you on this path if they do not resonate with it. Excellent relationship influences suggest your most intimate of relations will be pleasant. You check in with yourself to see where your intuitive pointers, hunches and gut reactions are directing you. During Jupiter's retrograde you need to boost your immunity and take better care of yourself. Financial dilemmas have you searching for answers and alternatives. When Venus enters Capricorn no matter how much you have and even if it is plenty you will think you do not have enough money. For a few months telepathic reception is enhanced. You will be especially connected to friends and colleagues, team associates or your alma mater. Seeking peacefulness on a personal level you may be involved with art work or another creative talent. Immersed in this sanctuary you can feel, hear and see the results of intense and dramatic forces of change but are coddled. Juno's retrograde is less easy to escape. It is in your sign so when these convicted storms break you may be in the thick of disagreements due to different backgrounds. Mercury enters Capricorn and this will make everything seem so serious and pertinent, obsessively important. You cannot sit back and wait; these times require action, intention and focus because no one can do your work for you. Gratitude for what you have will ensure that future potentials will reach out toward prosperity. Automatic responses to people will flush out your assumptions, opinions, knee-jerk reactions and impulses. You are about to pull out of hard times relative to your career or work. The more you integrate universal definitions into your conscious beliefs the more universally relevant you will be. Uranus turning direct unleashes the elements of change that you have been hoping for concerning your home and property.


Virgo Monthly Forecast 
Virgo

When the Sun enters the zodiac sign Sagittarius it finds you already in the sanctuary of your choice, maybe lost to your work. Chiron will resume direct motion releasing you from a sense of guilt or responsibility. The abundance of energy that is available is useful to you both in the home and for anything creative or involving the computer. Continuing to let go of anything that would get in the way of promise you are enjoying some satisfaction in accomplishment. A realignment of power gives you more freedom. Changes in how you care for others while maintaining care for yourself are progressive. Life is juggling you into position wiggling away any niggles and fulfilling your needs for self-realisation. Mercury entering Sagittarius accelerates the flow. Your mind broaches many subjects. Like Princess and the Pea, the vague source of discomfort can be bothersome and at this time it can fester calling attention to some reincarnational issue from a past life. Digging deep into your capacities you will achieve maximum accomplishment with minimum exertion but you may drain yourself in the process. Be sure to recharge. When you stumble over a truth that you wish you did not know it will set you free in some way and be the answer to a longstanding question. Renovate before things get demolished, the old structure needs more support and can do with a little originality and uniqueness. Vesta operating through Capricorn is a steady source of diligence that you can draw upon in a multi-purpose way. Mars enters Aquarius and its variable influence disturbs your method and process. These new unexplored pathways offer you great anticipation, wishful curiosity and something to master. Assessing the benefit of other people's involvement dissects each situation and re-masters it to review where it fits into the whole. Good family relations will help to take the worry and doubt out of work. Being able to focus with dedication and commitment gives you a chance to get ahead. When Jupiter retrogrades you can become out of touch with people due to various destined interferences. A preponderance of questions and a lack of answers compel you on an information discovery. You search for key information. Venus in Capricorn brings an end to a dreadful situation and progress can now be made. For the next few months you will receive spontaneous information that is pertinent to the matters at hand. Cultivate inner peacefulness; exercise the automatic response to go to that place efficiently. It is a health-full choice. The metamorphic storm and its enveloping transmissions of transfiguration catch you up in its thrust forward. You are compelled to promote yourself through a series of events. It is necessary to reconfigure the ties that would bind you from doing so. Juno's retrograde will brew up a storm of its own. In this mix-up you are reconsidering the basis for your standard thinking. Mercury entering into Capricorn at this time will assist any restructuring that may improve your performance and revenue as well as any other responsibilities. You cannot wait for things to come to you, it is necessary for you to make the initial effort that triggers the powers of attraction. On very fertile footing you can create or recreate a very strong foundation for your future productivity. Skating across the edge of things takes finely tuned navigating. Be careful of small details that could cause large disturbances in your steerage. Your work involvements are pulling out of hard times. You are breathing life back into your work, business or career. Predisposition and automatic impulse become aligned with the higher facets of your conscious thought. When Uranus resumes direct motion it's evolutionary and transitional emanations centre themselves on your home and your self-realisation.


Libra Monthly Forecast
Libra

The month of transition begins, the Sun moves into Sagittarius and you are connecting to what you need and what is appropriate for your journey. When Chiron resumes direct motion you will feel better than you have for a long time. You will also find what you need for your health and become connected to the right practitioners. An abundance of energy may inspire you around the home in a decorative way. Entering a time of promise you are willing to work toward what you want to attract. After a sorting of the relevant positions of power relevant to you, you will find yourself in an excellent starting point of new achievement. You are drawn to make changes to how you care for yourself that makes you better at caring for others. Whether you are aware of it or not life is juggling you into position, magnetically drawing you to what is meant for you. Mercury entering Sagittarius brings some high spirits, warm thoughts and a little luck. A past life issue can fester and otherwise act out to call attention to something you can resolve. A little effort on your part goes a long way toward obtaining maximum momentum with a sense of purpose and direction that will persist to attain a goal. You take what is revealed in a versatile way. The truth will otherwise spark vivid reactions for others. Rolling with what is puts you into an excellent starting position for when the chaotic disorder calms down. It is harder on the rigid. Vesta entering Capricorn brings you into touch with your true self or inner spirit which helps you to divest yourself of the debris of excess baggage. Mars zips into Aquarius also shifting gears with its energy waves. Another air sign like you the Aquarian motivation stimulates your self-expression. You want to "be yourself" authentically. New and old pathways are running parallel to each other, like training wheels it will be temporary. You are learning about self-disclosure in the reflection of the results of the interactions of the past. You will come to conclusions about how you wish to do this from now on. Relations should be favourable. There is a positive outcome to family interactions. Your focus is allowed to return to income production and restoring work relations. Jupiter's retrograde interrupts the flow of easy connection on occasion most especially if there is something you can learn from others. There will also be an abundance of questions that busy you with finding their answers. Venus operating through Capricorn can help you find the people who will help you but you might wade through endless numbers who have no idea at all. Over the next few months you will find yourself receiving suggestive thoughts which if followed connect you to what you want and need. You might never meet these people if you did not listen to these thoughts. It becomes easier to practice peacefulness, to want to and to steer around the ruckus and disorder of others with inner peace. But then the shock waves of previous disturbance and disorder ricochet throughout the atmosphere; you realise why you were given the gift of knowing inner peace no matter what the storm. You are safe. The conflict rages elsewhere. Juno's retrograde can rock the boat at the best of times but this time it is exaggerated and agitated. Expect people you have to deal with in everyday affairs to be gruff, rough or angry. Walk peacefully through the rain drops. Mercury entering Capricorn provides some self-discipline, restraint and containment that make for positivity in traversing everyday matters. Do not volunteer for something, especially in group involvements. You will think there will be help but it will end up being only you who has to do the job. Also you do not want to be left behind or lag behind your colleagues so you are too eager to prove yourself. There are some very productive and fertile energies available for you to make use of to reach out toward prosperity and future potentials. A blitz of energy waves will reveal the flaws in your circuitry. Sudden, extreme or unexpected events will spark a reaction. In the reaction you have to the stimulus you will find the flaw. What the incident is and what you think it is; are two different things, one is real the other is predisposed. Held in some sort of seclusive state for too long you will begin to pull out and come out. Becoming used to the universalisation trend you are evolving through teaches you to ponder deeply before you speak or act and definitely to not react. Uranus resumes direct motion. It releases pent up molecules of natural evolution and transition making it possible to reinvent yourself.


Scorpio Monthly Forecast 
Scorpio

The Sun leaves Scorpio wandering into the transitional field of Sagittarius. You keep your spirits up through window shopping or travel getaways. Chiron stationing direct releases any self-inflicted delusions of dysfunction. Your relationships will enjoy the change of mind. An abundance of positive energy boosts your health and well-being. Think long term and encourage those most significant in your life to do the same. Plan for your future not just the pleasure of now. Family dynamics grow through positive change and liberation. Changes in how everyone cares for each other come with stages of age. Taking tiny baby steps toward the inevitable you sense how and what will fall into place. You and your significant other are a team. Mercury leaving Scorpio for Sagittarius lightens the mood and gives you less to think about. In the calm that follows there is something that will stand out, a tiny long festering issue that has been overlooked. It is extinguished quietly. Then you will take up your tasks and accomplish them efficiently, plotting your routes and planning your ventures with skill and ease. In the same vein you resolve some inner clash by facing the truth as it is revealed to you. This will open doors and broaden your perspective. Rigidities have to melt down into flexibilities and routine is likely disrupted anyway so you might as well have a plan. Vesta entering Capricorn gives you a steadiness of focus and strong self-esteem. Mars in Aquarius however may try to undermine this. Nervous strain can take a toll on your health, be sure to get proper rest and nutrition. Getting a foothold on new pathways takes persistence and determination. Deciding what to disclose is a matter of priority and this needs to be evaluated in each and every situation. Good relationship energies increase your sense of well-being. You will want to narrow in on your new goals, self-awareness and self-development and apply yourself diligently to them. Jupiter's retrograde tests your resourcefulness and teaches you financial restraint. Unanswered questions from the past provoke a search for answers and self-fulfilment. Venus in Capricorn brings you into touch with long time friends and people you have not seen for awhile. For the next few months you will have a psychic sense about money. You can sniff out a bargain or fall upon a deal and old connections from the past give you a discount. Even as the peacefulness falls around you, you sense the calm and the quiet and embrace its sanctuary but you know there is a storm coming. The havoc of the second to last metamorphic clash with evolution will blow away any remnants of the old ways and structure that dare to continue to exist. A karmic cleanse that should leave you unscathed. Juno's retrograde however is a brooding righteous out of proportion blast of incomprehensible angst. You need to be careful not to get caught up in it. Mercury in Capricorn brings back memories from the past, old neighbours or childhood friends. You do not wait for anyone to do what you want; you get busy and get it done. With life times of knowing no one is going to do it for you it is not given a thought. Good things can come out of this time. What you cultivate will grow, what you create will thrive and self-motivational change comes easy. Habitual patterns of reacting will put you in the pickle when inappropriately triggered. You are pulling out of difficult times. Feeling better about yourself it is easier to make what needs be happen. The new reality of universal existence demands that you broaden your horizons and expand your reference points. Uranus resuming direct motion pushes the reset button and clears the field so everything is defined more clearly. Steady as she goes!




As the karmic winds blow around and through us  
they are erasing reincarnational deposits,  
blurring the lines of definition  
and rendering our soul's memory to be more impressionism than realism.

 

 
Sincerely,
