Full Moon in Leo, February 7, 2012

© Timhesterphotography | Dreamstime.com

The key to the Full Moon at 18° 32′ Leo on 7 February 2012 at 01:54 PM PST is Saturn stationing retrograde at 29° Libra. Full Moons are about opposing elements and this chart furthers that theme because the planets fall in a Seesaw Pattern with the Leo Moon, Mars in Virgo and Saturn in Libra opposing the rest. Oppositions present opportunities to learn about cooperation and compromise which fall under Libra’s aegis, and if we refuse to do either of those, what’s left is deepening polarization.

Saturn stations generally mean we [...]

Observations: Year End Musings

© Misterbeautiful | Dreamstime.com

The New Year starts out with all planets direct and moving forward for a change. The tone for the upcoming year as indicated by the New Year’s Day chart is a continuation of the Solstice with cardinal earth dominating. We need to stick with practical, balanced and equitable solutions for best results.

Best remember Mars in Virgo is slowing down to station retrograde on 23 January 2012! When Mars is stationing, getting projects up and running may take much longer than planned for, and since we’re dealing with Virgo we need to [...]

Observations: Saturn in Scorpio & Pluto in Capricorn: Mutual Reception

© Bloody Baby Blue

In October 2012 Saturn will enter Scorpio and spend the next two plus years in Mutual Reception with Pluto in Capricorn. Mutual Reception exists when the ruler of one sign is in the sign the other planet rules, i.e. Pluto rules Scorpio and Saturn rules Capricorn. The most recent example of two outer planets in this relationship was when Uranus, Aquarius’s ruler, was in Pisces and Neptune, Pisces’s ruler, was/is in Aquarius. The latter case was supposed to usher in a delightful period of harmony and spiritual development. Yeah, right! Looked much more [...]

New Moon in Capricorn December 24, 2011

© Alessia Giangrande | Dreamstime.com

The flavor of the New Moon at 2° 34′ Capricorn on 24 December 2011, 10:07 AM PST is decidedly cardinal earth – controlled, traditional and determined. The fire and flourish of Sagittarius is put firmly behind us under this lunation with only Mercury remaining in the previous sign.

This is a good time to take another look at Capricorn and remember it is a receptive/feminine earth sign whose natural inclination is to be responsive. In the northern hemisphere this is the time of year when nature is resting and the landscape [...]

Observations: Winter Solstice December 21-22 2011

© Kostyantyn Ratnikov | Dreamstime.com

This year’s Solstice – Winter in the northern hemisphere, Summer in the southern – has the Sun in Capricorn, Uranus in Aries and Jupiter in Taurus all at zero degrees, emphasizing an opportunity to make a fresh start. Furthermore, both Venus in Aquarius and Chiron in Pisces are just past the critical degree. Those who have planets and Angles from 0 to 2 degrees will feel the urge to take a new direction the strongest. Cardinal sign folk (Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn) are bound to pick up on this energy [...]
