As some of you may have seen from my Facebook posts, I just completed an advanced life coaching class called Dreamsculpting™. This will be an amazing skill and service that I will be able to offer to my clients! Many times during a reading there will be a pattern that will be discovered in a person's life that may not be serving them. Unlike a lot of other astrologers or psychics, I actually have the skills to guide my client through their own healing experiences. Life Coaching and Hypnosis are wonderful tools to help someone break old habits, overcome phobias, have better relationships, and increased confidence, etc. Please feel free to give me a call or send me an e-mail if you would like to discuss the next step in your healing journey!
I will be available on Wednesdays and Fridays between 2-7 PM to do private Astrology Readings, Reiki, Life Coaching, and Hypnosis (in-person) and will be available Mondays and Thursdays via phone or Skype. Please call me for an appointment, as I will not be taking walk-ins. The office is located at 65 Pearl St. in lovely downtown Burlington VT (it is a dark red brick building). There is metered street parking and across the street behind the restaurant Bove’s, there are also metered parking spaces. Please feel free to call me with questions or to book an appointment. #802-999-4677.

I wanted to add a footnote to my entries. I include the time that a transit will be exact so that you can see when it waxes and then when it starts to wane. However, the effects are often felt sometimes even as long as a day or two (or longer). The energy is usually felt more strongly during the time leading up to the height and then it slowly starts to dissipate after. Keep in mind that Moon transits tend to last a shorter period of time than planetary transits.
(Sunday 10/2/11)- There will be only two (pleasant) Moon transits today. Keep in mind that Lunar transits are shorter in duration than planetary transits. The astrological day begins when, the Moon in Sagittarius will form a positive sextile to Saturn in Libra (exact at 8:36am EST). Time to tap into our inner discipline, goal setting, organization and attention to details. We may want to make long term plans in our close relationships.
In the afternoon, the Moon in Sagittarius will form a positive sextile with Venus in Libra (exact at 2:03pm EST). It is likely that we could receive compliments on how we look or dress. It will be easy to interact with others. This transit is positive for both relationships/love and finances. The remainder of the day will be under the influence of the Sagittarian moon…
(Monday 10/3/11)- Today has some difficult transits. Sadly, feelings of anger and frustration could really get blown out of proportion today. There will be two planetary transits and seven Moon transits. The moon will be highlighting (negatively) the Cardinal T-Square. My best advice would be to step away from any potential conflict. Although we could have an increase in energy, if it is not properly channeled could cause problems. 
Overnight, Mars in Leo will make an uncomfortable square with Jupiter (R) in Taurus (exact at 1:21am EST). Remember, this is a planetary transit and its effects will be felt much longer than a Moon transit. Use caution with over spending, over confidence, and taking unnecessary risks with this transit. Place your energy (and you may plenty of it) into positive pursuits….because manifestation is possible with this transit! We could have the tendency to “make mountains out of molehills” with this one. This is not a good time to rely purely on luck. Group endeavors may go poorly. Just after, the Moon in Sagittarius forming a positive sextile to Neptune (R) in Pisces (exact at 1:37am EST) causing our imagination/creativity to soar. This transit is also beneficial for daydreaming, idealism, intuition, romance, music, poetry, abstract ideas, mysticism, etc. It is possible to be more charming around this transit. Anyone have rose-colored glasses? If you are sleeping while this event occurs, it may be possible to have prophetic or “visitation” dreams around this time. This will also be the beginning of a short void of course cycle that will last until the Moon transitions into practical Capricorn. When the Moon makes no major planetary aspects to another planet, before it switches into the next sign, is call “void of course”. It is best to not do anything new during these times because it has a decreased chance of working or will have delays. The Moon transitions into hardworking Capricorn (exact at 4:16am EST). Themes that will be prevalent over the next 2 ½ days are: business endeavors, discipline, work, goal setting, drive, public ambition, and tradition. Try to avoid: workaholic tendencies, coldness, and using people for personal gain. Next, Mercury in Libra forms a slightly uncomfortable sesquisquare with Neptune (R) in Pisces (exact at 7:40am EST). Remember, this is a planetary transit and its effects will be felt much longer than a Moon transit. Be careful (especially) with business dealings around this transit. If it sounds too good to be true, then it probably is! Review all fine print closely and if possible put off signing any contracts. We will want to idealize people/situations around this time. On the positive side: creativity, intuition, and imagination could be increased too. Then, the Moon in Capricorn uncomfortably squares Uranus (R) in Aries (exact at 8:19am EST). This is a time where someone around you may challenge tradition. You may also want to buck the system. An unexpected event or surprise could catch you off-guard. It is possible to experience issues with technology or mechanical issues. This could cause disturbed dreams and/or sleep (possibly inspirational or vivid dreams).
In the afternoon, the Moon in Capricorn will be making its monthly conjunction with Pluto in Capricorn (exact at 1:08pm EST) adding emotional intensity to the mix. This may help with insights pertaining to business and financial endeavors. Helping to “pick up” on the undercurrent of a situation. This is also beneficial for therapy, cathartic experiences, passion, and ferreting out secrets. Then, the Moon in Capricorn forms a positive sextile with (the “Wounded Healer”) Chiron (R) in Pisces (exact at 6:41pm EST). You may be presented with an opportunity to heal or to be healed. Holistic and alternative medicine is especially favored. Serendipitous moments abound! Then, the Moon will highlight the Mars/Jupiter square that occurred earlier today when the Moon in Capricorn makes a flowing trine with Jupiter (R) in Taurus (exact at 7:24pm EST) helping us to feel optimistic and/or lucky. This is an ideal time to be with friends or to work with groups of people. It is also beneficial for spirituality/religion, higher education, horses, law/legal matters, advertising, sales, and publishing. Next, the Moon in Capricorn makes an annoying quincunx to Mars in Leo (exact at 8:23pm EST). Did you ever meet someone that says something that is completely different than how they actually act? For instance: you went out on a date, the person says that they had a fantastic time, and then they never called you? This type of disconnect (coming from yourself or coming from others) may be more pronounced around this time. Lastly, the Sun in Libra will form an uncomfortable square with the Moon in Capricorn (exact at 11:15pm EST). We may experience some tension between friends or loved ones. This won’t be conducive to feeling very supported. Sometimes this transit brings (minor) squabbles.
(Tuesday 10/4/11)- I will be doing Astrological Readings at Spirit Dancer today between 3-6pm (I take my last reading at 5:30pm). This is a great opportunity to get an introductory reading from me at a discount-$30 ½ hr. They are located at 125 S. Winooski Ave in Burlington, VT (across from the fire station). Walk-ins are welcome or you can call me for a time. The store’s number is 802-660-8060.
Early in the morning, the Moon in Capricorn forms an uncomfortable square with Mercury in Libra (exact at 7:47am EST) possibly causing miscommunications. You may find that you are not able to express yourself as easily or someone may cut you off from saying something.
In the afternoon, the Moon in Capricorn will form an uncomfortable square with Saturn in Libra (exact at 2:52pm EST). Luckily the duration of this event is short. Sometimes this can give us a feeling of loneliness or isolation. We may feel passed over or possibly not getting the recognition that we deserve. It is better to work on organization around this time. Then, later in the evening Mercury in Libra will form a slightly uncomfortable sesquisquare with Chiron (R) “Wounded Healer” in Pisces (exact at 10:46pm EST). Remember, this is a planetary transit and its effects will be felt much longer than a Moon transit. Past memories may come flooding in around this time. Reminiscing? Forgiveness (or the need to forgive) often accompanies this transit. This can increase sensitivity, so please choose your words carefully.
(Wednesday 10/5/11)- Remember, I am available for private Astrological/Life Coaching sessions between 2-7pm today please call or e-mail me to schedule an appointment!
Today will consist entirely of Lunar transits. Keep in mind that Lunar transits are shorter in duration than planetary transits. Overnight, the Moon in Capricorn will square Venus in Libra (exact at 1:58am EST). Although we will have a drive to be with others around this time, it would be best to avoid heavy conversations pertaining to love. Sometimes the object of our affections is just out of reach (or otherwise detained) around this transit. The is not a good time to go shopping or work on beautification because what we think looks good now may seem like a bad idea at a later time. This will also be the beginning of a long 9+ hour void of course cycle that will last until the Moon transitions into unique Aquarius (exact at 11:18am EST). Activities that are favored during Moon in Aquarius are: social endeavors, friendship, technology, humanitarian efforts, politics, inventing, and New Age ideologies. Things to avoid: are getting too caught up in the greater good and masses that you forget the individual & their feelings, and being overly fixed in your own unique way of doing things that you can’t consider someone else’s good ideas.
In the afternoon, the Moon in Aquarius will form a positive sextile with Uranus (R) in Aries (exact at 3:26pm EST) helping us to break out of our rut and even do something that may be somewhat unconventional. Technology (like computers), inventing, New Aged ideologies, and friendships are favored around this transit. The remainder of the day will be under the influence of the Aquarian Moon…
(Thursday 10/6/11)- I am available for private Astrological/Life Coaching sessions via phone or Skype between 2-7pm today please call or e-mail me to schedule an appointment!
Overnight, the Moon in Aquarius will form an uncomfortable square with Jupiter (R) in Taurus (exact at 2:52am EST). Someone could challenge your beliefs at this time. It’s possible that you could find out someone within your group has been acting behind your back or is at odds with the greater good. Dealings with groups of people or legal matters are unfavorable around this time. Then, the Moon in Aquarius will form its monthly opposition to Mars in Leo (exact at 7:08am EST). Someone could irritate you during this transit. It’s possible to enjoy a debate with someone (or at worst, an argument). As with all Mars transits, I recommend exercise or doing something physical. Mar’s energy will want to get out one way or another; it might as well be constructive!
In the afternoon, the Sun in Libra will form a beautiful trine to the Moon in Aquarius (exact at 12:14pm EST). This is beneficial for all kinds of relationships (especially with children) and assists in making us feel loved and supported. This is also an ideal time to be close to pets or nature. Very pleasant indeed! Then, Mercury forms its yearly conjunction with Saturn both in Libra (exact at 6:01pm EST). Remember, this is a planetary transit and its effects will be felt much longer than a Moon transit. A slow and steady approach is called for. Focus on one thing at a time, otherwise there is a good chance mistakes will be made or it will need to be done over anyway. It may be possible that we are slower than normal in learning something (people with learning disabilities may have trouble around this time). It is possible to experience solidarity. Focus on balance and fairness and stick with the facts if you need to communicate. Don’t try to tackle too many things around this transit. A great time for building foundations!! Next, the Sun in Libra will form a slightly uncomfortable sesquisquare with nebulous Neptune (R) in Pisces (exact at 9:26pm EST). Remember, this is a planetary transit and its effects will be felt much longer than a Moon transit. Dreaming and daydreaming of the good old days? This one could zap some of our energy. We could feel fuzzy and have trouble focusing. This is not a good time to make major decisions or to sign contracts. Best to relax or focus on creative endeavors!
(Friday 10/7/11)- I am available for private Astrological/Life Coaching sessions between 2-7pm today please call or e-mail me to schedule an appointment!
WOW! Today could turn out to be a very lovely day. Astrologically all of the energies are fairly easy and, if anything, we may have trouble concentrating and just want to be drifting in our daydreams. I just love days filled with trines!!
Just after midnight, the Moon in Aquarius will make a flowing trine to Saturn in Libra (exact at 12:26am EST). This is a great time for organization, house cleaning, filing, recycling, and being disciplined. This is also beneficial for starting a diet or health regimen (like quitting smoking). Sometimes others will ask for help around this transit, but it won’t be burdensome, we will be happy to assist! Then, the Moon in Aquarius makes a flowing trine to Mercury in Libra (exact at 1:21am EST). This transit will assist us to express how we feel. It will be much easier to speak with friends and loved ones during this time. We may have an urge to be social around this transit and it is highly beneficial for all kinds of relationships.
Later in the evening, Moon in Aquarius forming a flowing trine with Venus in Libra (exact at 5:59pm EST). You could find your thoughts with friends or loved ones. It is possible to receive a compliment on how you look. Love, beauty, art, creativity, and aesthetics will be favored (and because of this reason, shopping too). Pamper yourself! Just after, the Moon makes its monthly conjunction with Neptune (R) both in Aquarius (exact at 6:08pm EST) causing our imagination/creativity to soar. This transit is also beneficial for daydreaming, idealism, intuition, romance, music, poetry, abstract ideas, mysticism, etc. It is possible to be more charming (or to meet charming people) around this transit. Because idealism & escapism can be enhanced with this transit, I wouldn’t make a big decisions or sign contracts around this time. This will begin a short 3+ hour void-of-course Moon transit cycle that will last until the Moon transitions into the dreamy sign of Pisces. Then, 
Venus in Libra will form a flowing trine to Neptune (R) in Aquarius (exact at 7:28pm EST) giving us a dreamy and idealistic outlook on the day. Remember, this is a planetary transit and its effects will be felt much longer than a Moon transit. When it comes to love, we will have our rose colored glasses on today. Love relationships will take on an ethereal quality. If you are single, and you meet someone under this influence you will have the feeling that you were meant to be together. It’s possible that a friend could become more than a friend. It would feel like you are seeing this person in a new light. This will be a beneficial day for creativity, arts, music, film, etc. The Moon transitions into dreamy Pisces (exact at 9:13pm EST). Activities that are favored during Moon in Pisces: creativity, intuition, spiritual aspirations, higher consciousness, connection with feelings, counseling, music, art, photography, nature and especially being near water, and charitable work. Things to avoid are: getting so caught up in others feeling that you put your aside, excessive escapism, and acting like a martyr. These are all themes that will last the next 2 ½ days. Lastly, the Moon forms its monthly conjunction with Chiron (R) both in Pisces (exact at 2:57am EST). You may be presented with an opportunity to heal or to be healed. Holistic and alternative medicine is especially favored. Serendipitous moments abound!

(Saturday 10/8/11)- Yom Kippur. Early in the morning, the Moon in Pisces will form a positive sextile with Pluto Capricorn (exact at 7:06am) helping us to connect with what is going on under the surface. If you were awake during this time it would be beneficial for: cathartic experiences, deep conversations, and all forms of counseling are favored during this transit. It may be possible to have intense dreams while you are sleeping.
In the afternoon, the Moon in Pisces makes a positive sextile with Jupiter (R) in Taurus (exact at 12:51pm EST) helping us to feel optimistic and/or lucky. This is an ideal time to be with friends or to work with a group of people. It is also beneficial for spirituality/religion, higher or continuing education, horses, law/legal matters, advertising, sales, and publishing. This will begin a very long 44+ hour long void-of-course Moon cycle that will end when the moon transitions into powerful Aries on Monday morning!! Lastly, the Moon in Pisces makes an annoying quincunx to Mars in Leo (exact at 8:47pm EST). Did you ever meet someone that says something that is completely different than how they actually act? For instance: you went out on a date, the person says that they had a fantastic time, and then they never called you? This type of disconnect (coming from yourself or coming from others) may be more pronounced around this time.

Mark your calendars! On Sunday (10/9) Venus will transition into Scorpio, on Tuesday (10/11) there will be a Full Moon in the sign of Aries, and on Thursday (10/13) Mercury will transition into the sign of Scorpio.
The above transits are often felt collectively but you would need to know where within your chart that they would fall. As always, I am available for a professional astrological reading. I have a variety of charts to choose from (relationship, life path, time-line, etc). I can do readings in-person, over the phone, or via Skype. Or if you’re not into having a reading, I can just supply a chart. Please feel free to contact me for more information! Have a great week! Bye for now……
