You may have heard a lot
about the Uranus/Pluto square. It will be the most intense on June 24th
and September 19th of 2012. However, this jarring astrological
transit will be in the background throughout all of 2012-2015. The last time Uranus/Pluto formed a troubling
square was in the early 1930s around the time of the Great Depression and when
Hitler was at the height of his power. These are certainly interesting times
that we live in! Please feel free to
watch my astrological video to learn more!

Keep in mind while you read this
Blog that 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.
The effects of a transit are often felt as long as a day or two (or even
longer). The energy is usually felt more
strongly during the time leading up to the height and then it slowly starts to
dissipate after. It’s important to
remember that Moon transits tend to last a shorter period of time than
planetary transits. I will no longer be
including every transit that occurs, but rather highlighting the most dominant
transit (to make the Blog a little easier to read, in response to reader
feedback!).
(Sunday 7/29/12)- Astrologically
speaking today should be smooth sailing. The only exception being the
Saturn/Chiron sesquisquare that will occur later in the evening. Overnight, the Moon in Sagittarius will form a positive sextile with
Mars in Libra (exact at 1:23am EST).
As with all Mars transits, I recommend doing something physical or
exercising around this time (the energy will need a constructive outlet). Sexuality can be enhanced around this
transit. Our feelings will be in
alignment with how we act. Make sure to
put your actions toward positive pursuits!
In the afternoon, the Moon
in Sagittarius forms its monthly opposition to Venus in Gemini (exact at 3:07pm
EST). It’s not good to shop or
decorate during this transit. Someone
could offend your sense of good taste!
Our feelings could be at odds with love relationships right now. Then, the Moon in Sagittarius will form a positive sextile
to Saturn in Libra (exact at 5:01pm 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. This will also be the beginning of a long 10+ hour void of course cycle that will last until the Moon transitions into practical Capricorn early tomorrow morning. 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. Lastly, Saturn in Libra will form a slightly uncomfortable sesquisquare with Chiron (R)
“the Wounded Healer” in Pisces (exact at 9:56pm EST). Remember, this is a planetary transit and
its effects will be felt much longer than a Moon transit. In fact, we may feel
this for a week or more. Old pains,
past situations and previous hurts could come back around this time. Was there something that you did only
half-way or weren’t as thorough as usual?
This is not the time to cut corners.
There could be trouble with male authority or father figures. Unfortunately healing and forgiveness may be
hard to access right now; except that is exactly what is needed! The height of
this transit will be experienced today, but maybe felt as long as a week.
(Monday 7/30/12)- Today there will be literally a smorgasbord of astrological and planetary
energy. Therefore, I am not going to cover all of the different transits and
just focus on the main events. Much of the day will be under the
influence of this transit when the Sun in Leo
will form an uncomfortable quincunx with Pluto (R) in Capricorn (exact at
3:09am). Remember, this is a planetary transit and
its effects will be felt much longer than a Moon transit. Quincunxes usually denote a period of time
where we can experience obstacles, delays, or blockages. Power, power,
power…did I say power? This one will
draw power struggles to us like a magnet.
If someone wants to fight, don’t bite…just walk away. This is a time where we may want to get deep
and explore our subconscious but everyone around us wants to keep it
superficial. We may feel passionate, but
for some reason may not be able to express our passion. Just remember: "It is the nature of the
ego to take, and the nature of the spirit to share." ~Proverb. Just after, the Moon transitions
into hardworking Capricorn (exact
at 3:29am EST). Themes that
will be prevalent over the next 2 ½ days are: business endeavors, discipline,
structure, work, goal setting, drive, public ambition, and tradition. Try to avoid: workaholic tendencies,
coldness, and using people for personal gain.
Then, the Moon in Capricorn forming a positive sextile to Neptune (R)
in Pisces (exact at 7:30am 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.
In the afternoon, there will be several Lunar transits that will be
highlighting the Sun/Pluto quincunx that occurred earlier today and two
planetary transits that will be occurring tomorrow. Please feel free to refer
to them for more information. The Moon in Capricorn forms a positive sextile
with Chiron (R) in Pisces (exact at 6:04pm EST). You may be
presented with an opportunity to heal or to be healed. Holistic and alternative medicine is
especially favored. Serendipitous
moments abound! Later in the day, the Moon in Capricorn will
form an annoying quincunx Jupiter in Gemini (exact at 8:23pm EST). This is a time where you could feel
disconnected from the group. Someone
could challenge your beliefs around this time.
Our optimism or self-confidence may be a little low. This is not a time to rely on luck. Don’t worry, this will be temporary!
(Tuesday 7/31/12)- I will be doing Astrological
Readings at Spirit Dancer today between 3:00-6:00pm (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.
Today could be a
very beneficial astrological day, especially the first two planetary transits.
It starts overnight when the Sun in Leo will form a beautiful flowing trine
with Uranus (R) in Aries (exact at 1:21am EST). Remember, this is a planetary transit and
its effects will be felt much longer than a Moon transit. Ready for some inspiration, excitement,
or change? This could be a time that you
will discover a new way to do something or break from old habits. You could meet someone that is creative (or
unique) and could serve as your muse.
Try to get out and enjoy nature and is also positive for athletics. A good time to go with the flow…..you never
know, something wonderful could happen! Then,
Venus in Gemini will form a flowing trine
with Saturn in Libra (exact at 3:38am EST).
Remember,
this is a planetary transit and its effects will be felt much longer than a
Moon transit. Discipline and organization are
required. This transit will be permeated
by seriousness. This probably won’t be a
time of busy social activities. But the
invites that you do get, will most likely be from your oldest and dearest
friends. If you are willing to put in
the hard work around this time, you have the will to accomplish a lot! Any delays that are experienced will be for
the better (but you might not feel that way at the time). This is an auspicious time for finances,
business endeavors, strategizing, etc.
This may be a good time to sit down with the boss (or with someone with
authority over you) to hammer out long-term goals. They will appreciate your proactive attitude,
which may benefit you financially. It is
best to acquiesce since folks are prone to digging in their heels. This is a beneficial time to make a deeper
commitment in a relationship (love or business relationship). Work on building foundations! Next, the Moon in Capricorn will form an
uncomfortable square with Mars in Libra (exact at 5:43am EST). As with all Mars transits, I recommend doing
something physical or exercising around this time (gardening, housework,
working on the car, etc. all count!).
Sexuality can be enhanced around this transit. Did you ever have a moment where circumstances
seem like they are conspiring against you?
Often, this transit results in a culmination of things that can be
annoying. Sometimes small irritations or
quarrels can result. Then, the Sun
in Leo will quincunx Chiron (R) in Pisces (exact at 8:10am). Remember, this is a planetary transit
and its effects will be felt much longer than a Moon transit. This could bring up past memories (or
hurts). Chiron puts an emphasis on
healing and forgiveness.
In the evening, the Moon in Capricorn will form an
uncomfortable square with Saturn in Libra (exact at 7:30pm 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. This
will be the beginning of a long 10+ hour
void-of-course Moon cycle that will
end when the Moon transitions into Aquarius tomorrow
morning. Lastly, the Moon in Capricorn will form an annoying quincunx with
Venus in Gemini (exact at 8:24pm EST) possibly causing a monkey
wrench in the love department. It could
be that the object of our affections is somewhat inaccessible around time….
unfortunately the same could be true with our finances too! Double-check your bank account before making
a big purchase.
(Wednesday
8/1/12)- In the early morning, the Moon
transitions into Aquarius (exact at 5:56am 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. Then in the late morning, the Moon in Aquarius makes its
monthly opposition with Mercury (R) in Leo (exact at 11:58am EST). You may find that you are not able to
express yourself as easily or someone may cut you off from saying
something. It will be hard to put your
thoughts into words. This is a time
where someone may oppose your thoughts or feelings. The key is to integrate the two (thoughts
& emotions), although it may not be easy.
In the evening,
the Full Moon in Aquarius will form a positive sextile with Uranus (R) in Aries (exact
at 8:15pm 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 height of the Full Moon in Aquarius (exact at
11:27pm EST). The Full Moon that takes place in August is
often called the Full Sturgeon Moon, the Grain Moon, the Green Corn Moon, or
the Red Moon. The height of the Full Moon is always signified by the opposition
of the Sun (currently in Leo). Do you feel rebellious but are actually
complacent? Do you have trouble balancing friendships with family (especially
if you have children)? Do you remember to bring out your inner child sometimes
to play? Do you buck the system just to stir things up? Do you partake in drama
even if it doesn’t pertain to you? If you don’t have drama in your life, do you
feel bored? Do you help your community or charities enough with your time
and/or money? These questions/themes will be highlighted now. It depends where
the Moon/Aquarius & Sun/Leo falls within your chart in order to know how
this will affect you on a personal level. Full Moons astrologically are
considered to be a time of culmination or endings. I personally like to take
this time to meditate and send out prayers for family, friends, and humanity. Just
after, the Full Moon in Aquarius makes a flowing trine with
Jupiter in Gemini (exact at 11:50pm 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.
(Thursday 8/2/12)- This may be one of the most Astrologically
beneficial days of this week! Take full
advantage and work on your manifesting skills today. The sky is the limit!
In the early
morning, the Sun in Leo forms a positive sextile to Jupiter in Gemini (exact
at 5:56am EST). Remember, this is a planetary transit and
its effects will be felt much longer than a Moon transit. This is a “success” transit. Sextiles often present opportunity, but you
will need to work at it to see it come to fruition. Now this would be a good time to make a
presentation to your boss! This would
also be beneficial if you were having issues with legal problems and/or
contracts. You may meet with a teacher
or guide that will help you (possibly someone older). This transit tends to give us confidence and
optimism. The only caveat is being too
overly confident (you know, too much of a good thing?). Travel, higher learning/education,
religion/spirituality, law, horses, publishing, and advertising will be
highlighted. Then, later in the morning the Moon in Aquarius forms a
flowing trine with Mars in Libra (exact at 11:07am EST). Our actions will be in harmony with how we
feel. We may crave action around this
time or have more energy. People will be
inclined to fight for what they believe is right. Just after, the Sun in Leo will
make an awkward semisquare to Venus in Gemini (exact at 11:54am EST) influencing
us to question love and finances. Remember,
this is a planetary transit and its effects will be felt much longer than a
Moon transit. This would not be an
ideal time to make purchases (especially big ones). What we value may be tested. Although it is a good time to be with friends
and loved ones, try to avoid too much intensity. Try and relax, demanding a commitment now
could backfire.
Later in the evening, the Moon in Aquarius will make a
flowing trine to Saturn in Libra (exact at 11:19pm 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!
(Friday 8/3/12)- Just after midnight, Mars in Libra will form a slightly uncomfortable semisquare with nebulous
Neptune (R) in Pisces (exact at 12:01am EST). Remember, this is a planetary transit and
its effects will be felt much longer than a Moon transit. The energies of these two planets don’t
normally blend easily. Mars is about
fire and passion. Neptune is water and
emotion. But blending them is exactly
what is called for! Dancing, yoga, Tia
Chi, meditation, boating (in fact all water sports) are recommended around this
time. We may feel fuzzy, dreamy,
sluggish or unmotivated around this time.
It’s best to focus on inspiration and creativity. Moon in Sagittarius forming a flowing
trine with Venus in Leo (exact at 3:24am 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! This will be the beginning of a 6+ hour void-of-course
Moon cycle that will last until the Moon transitions into the sign of Pisces…
the Moon transitions into dreamy
Pisces (exact at 9:58am 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.
In the afternoon,
the Moon makes its monthly conjunction with Neptune (R) both in Pisces (exact
at 2:04pm 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. If you are sleeping
while this event occurs, it may be possible to have prophetic or “visitation”
dreams. Just after, the Moon in
Pisces will form an annoying quincunx to Mercury (R) in Leo (exact at 2:21pm
EST) possibly causing blocks in communication. It may be nearly impossible to express
ourselves. You ever had a time that you
couldn’t put your thoughts into words? Lastly,
the Moon in Pisces will form a positive sextile with Pluto (R) Capricorn
(exact at 11:16pm) 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.
(Saturday 8/4/12)- Today may be fraught with obstacles, delays,
or blockages; especially early in the day. This is not a great time for making
big decisions or tending to important details. With the Moon being in Pisces
and Mercury forming a difficult aspect with Neptune, this may be a better day
for drifting, daydreaming, swimming, music, or any other creative or whimsical
activity. It starts just after midnight,
when Mercury (R) in Leo will for an annoying quincunx nebulous Neptune (R)
in Pisces (exact at 12:06am EST). Remember,
this is a planetary transit and its effects will be felt much longer than a
Moon transit. Be very careful
(especially) with business dealings today.
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. To put it bluntly, we could be more
susceptible to manipulation or someone fibbing to get their way. We may want to get lost in our thoughts. Our imagination may be working overtime. This will give our day a dreamy quality. Just after, the Moon forms its monthly conjunction with Chiron (R) both
in Pisces (exact at 1:17am 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
in Pisces will form an uncomfortable square with Jupiter in Gemini (exact at 5:27am
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. Next, the Moon in Pisces will form an annoying
quincunx with the Sun in Leo (exact at 8:31am EST). It may be hard to feel supported
around this time. Accomplishments may go
unrecognized. It is possible to clash
with someone younger than yourself (like a parent child relationship).
In the
evening, the Moon in Pisces makes an annoying
quincunx to Mars in Libra (exact at 7:17pm 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! Next Tuesday (8/7) Venus
will transition into the sign of Cancer, and Mercury will turn Direct in Leo on
Wednesday (8/8)!!
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, child
star, 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……
