Jupiter Enters Pisces Jan. 17th, 2010 > Jupiter transits the 12 Houses: What gift does Jupiter hold for You?

Posted in Astrology in Daily Life, tagged , , , on December 30, 2009| 4 Comments »

Jupiter, the planet of expansion and optimism, shall be entering Pisces on January 17th 2010.

On June 6th until September 8th Jupiter will briefly travel into Aries, then retrograde back into Pisces and remain in the Sign of the Fishes until January 22nd 2011.

It takes approximately 12 years for Jupiter to travel the whole of the Zodiac, so your house with Pisces located on the cusp is where you can expect to have Jupiter’s longer term attention the coming year.

A brief look at the energies represented by Jupiter and Pisces:

Jupiter: Jupiter is the representation of wisdom. Where Jupiter is transiting in your chart, is where you are afforded the opportunity for higher learning.

Some keywords for Jupiter are: abundance, expansion, luck, obesity, optimism, philosophy, publishing and religion.

Pisces: Pisces is a mutable water sign and the last sign of the Zodiac. Modern astrology attributes Neptune as the ruler of Pisces, yet until the discovery of Neptune, rulership was assigned to Jupiter.

Some keywords for Pisces are: artistic, creative, compassionate, imaginative, impressionable, psychic, sensitive and spiritual.

By identifying the house in which Jupiter will transit this next year, you can focus on the area of your life that your are being afforded the opportunity to expand in some manner with enthusiasm and good fortune on your side!

I offer one caution though, especially while Jupiter is transiting the ‘dreamy’ sign of Pisces, there is wisdom in the advice of “everything in moderation!” 🙂

Don’t get lost in too much of a good thing.

Yet if you are attentive to other area’s in your life needing focus, by all means you should thoroughly soak in the pleasures and advantages Jupiter is gifting unto you now.

Healing the Wounds of Perceived “Failures” of Responsibility to Others

Posted in Astrology in Daily Life, This is My Reality, tagged , , , , , , , , , , on December 29, 2009| 12 Comments »

Please do not Judge Me for Living My Truth

It’s mine and I own it whatever it’s Proof

Please do not Fear for Me for my Soul is Safe

Should you see Darkness within Me

Fear not, for it is in the right Place

My Lessons are Many, my fears may be great

Yet it is Mine to Reveal, and Restore without Hate

If ever you view me standing at Hell’s Darkest Gate

Please let it be known, the Light in my Heart, Shall be my guide Home.

When I struggle with Darkness, Fear and ill Faith

Your Love, plain and simple, shall help me find Grace

So Pray, judge not my fears, with your Anger nor Pain

Instead speed me Light, with Joy, in great Haste!

I ask simply this please…

Do not Judge me for Living my Truth

I AM what I AM and with All of my Might

I AM Purely and Simply

A Being of Light.

~Janya

***A very dear friend of mine penned the above some time ago and I felt it was perfectly befitting my little tale today. Thank you Janya, for allowing me to share your words of wisdom!


The past few days I have been in the space of a deep clearing of wounds that I had no idea I was carrying until recently.

That is not unusual at all though, especially after you have been on the healing path for a good amount of time, for we clear the ‘knowns’ first, the wounds that are on the surface that can still be seen in some manner, and then we go deeper than.

Deeper Than…I first began to hear those words 2 years ago. Deeper Than.

And I replied, “Yeah, sure, why not? I’m game!”.

That must have been my overly enthusiastic Uranus at work there. ((sardonic smile))

Seriously though, I have no regrets, not in the long run.

I do have my hard days though, just like everyone else, and on those days I can tend to be quite sarcastic, it is my way of keeping myself moving forward and my head above water during the really tough stuff.

As I’ve said a million and one times, and others have too..a sense of humor is mandatory when on the path of Healing.

**********************************************************************

Before I go into sharing my experiences and my forthcoming understandings of said experiences (that precipitated the title of this post), I’ll share the lowdown on my current astrological transits:

Transit Saturn (responsibility/the past) is on my 3rd/4th house cusp. (local community, brothers&sisters/inner self and more of the past). 🙂

Tr. Saturn is squaring Tr. Pluto whom is now within 3 degree’s of my descendant, so likely now affecting not only my 6th house (service to others, personal health) yet also my 7th house (committed relationships).

Squares are frictional and we all currently have the transit of Saturn sq. Pluto somewhere in our charts, I just happen to have mine as I detailed above.

I also have the coming Full-Moon Lunar Eclipse on New Years Eve conjunct my Ascendant (self)/ Descendant (other), squaring my natal Jupiter/Mercury (higher/expanded understanding) conjunction in Libra (relationships/balance/justice) and this all is forming a loose Grand Cross with my Chiron (healing/wounds) at the top of my chart(sharing my understanding of this wound to heal thyself) .

On the day that this area of self-clearing began for me, transiting Moon triggered the Saturn/Pluto square by forming an inconjunct and trine respectively, when the Moon aspected conjunct my natal Saturn in the 11th house (friendships/groups/hopes).

I’m not sure who I wrote that for, my readers or myself..likely more for myself. (I hope you benefit, but I am determined to do what I have to do here to heal thyself.) ((admitting with no shame))

Though it just made my tummy flip upside down again for the upteenth time this week.

So I am steeping in relationships right now, and issues of responsibility to others, and the need to regenerate in some manner, how I have perceived and/or done, all of this before.

Following is my tale, of uncovering wounds of perceived failure, and the messages I have received, concerning our responsibility to others. I confess the tale is somewhat long, for I could find no way to shorten it and still get my point across..so you may wish to take out the dog and get another cup of joe before you proceed..you brave, brave Soul. 🙂

Mercury Retrograde: 12/26/09 @ 22′ Capricorn >Review, Re-evaluate and Re-align

Posted in Astrology in Daily Life, tagged on December 26, 2009| Leave a Comment »

Mercury turns retrograde today @ 22° Capricorn and over the next 3 weeks shall retrace his steps back to 5° Cap.

When a planet is in retrograde motion, the energies of that planet, are internalized affording us an opportunity to come to a deeper understanding of experiences related to the function of that planet during it’s recent forward traveling of an area in our charts and lives.

If you know your natal chart, you can look to the house, or houses(this retrograde can effect 2 houses dependent upon your placements), to fine-tune the are of your life that you are being afforded an opportunity to reconsider recent Mercury ruled affairs.

Need a copy of your natal chart? Generate one for free at:  Astro.com

So what does Mercury govern?

Mercury represents the mind and the functions of the intellect.

Mercury is all about communication, how you express yourself to others, and how you perceive the expressions of others, to you.

Authors and teachers fall under the jurisdiction of Mercury.

Interestingly, one noted effect of a Mercury retrograde period is the malfunction of electronics.

As Mercury rules the nervous system, hands and fingers, I view a connection to the energy of Mercury turning inward super-firing our nervous systems causing our personal energy to back-up on us which then release in unexpected bursts when the energy goes into overload, through our hands when we touch things.

Remember to ground out your energy before picking up the phone or starting your computer, and you’ll minimalize your headaches related to electronics gone wonky.

During the 3 weeks of retrograde, take the time to reexamine your Mercury rewind area, and have patience if everything in that area in your life feels like it is out-of-whack.

Everything will right itself in due time, and shall be better aligned for your purposes, then before the retrograde began.

Mercury rules Virgo and Gemini, so if your Sun, Moon or Ascendant is within these signs, you are likely to feel a greater impact.

Both my Sun and Moon are Mercury ruled, and yes, I am feeling it. ((winks))

I feel quite fortunate just to be able to write a little something for this post today and have it make a modicum of sense! I may just be doing posts in pictures the next few weeks, for I have learned to allow retrogrades to ‘do their thing’ and not to force by them, for truly it doesn’t work out all that well anyway.

Share where Mercury is retrograding in your chart and how are you fairing?

Blessings All! kachina

Anger is not a Bad Thing, How You Utilize Your Anger is What is of Importance: Tips on Utilizing Your Mars Energy for Positive Purpose

Posted in Astrology in Daily Life, Tips and Tools, tagged , , , , , on December 23, 2009| 10 Comments »

Anger.

A subject that in many ways I feel has become almost taboo to speak on in public venues, and even in close circles.

Mention anger in certain company and you will likely find yourself “Loved, Lighted, and Blessed” to a degree you will feel like you’ve been mistaken for the Blessed Mother herself. ((smiles))

I adore the Blessed Mother and yet apparently I have a long way to go to Sainthood for all of that Blessing others have gifted me with to attempt to diffuse my anger at times, well, it just didn’t work.

It has also been recommended to me a million and one times that I just ‘let it go’ and while I agree 100% percent with the letting it go and I strongly advocate Release Work in self-healing, to let something go you first must have some idea of what that something is.

Hence, I’ve had to learn to embrace my anger and listen to that which it was speaking to me to then be able to master and redirect this emotion/energy of anger just as I do with all emotions/energies if I find them manifesting in an undesirable form.

The first step to learning to utilize your anger, or any energy for that matter, is acknowledging that it really does exist.

The second step is not judging the emotion/energy as bad or harmful for it is simply something you are feeling at the moment and does not necessarily identify who you truly are.

No energy or emotion is bad or harmful in and of itself, these energies that comprise the emotional scale are merely tools, and there is nothing to fear in utilizing these tools we were gifted with for navigating our journeys within this human experience.

****************************************************************

We currently live in societies that I feel have made it quite unpopular to express “undesirable” emotions in a healthy manner and we have been encouraged to put a shiny veneer on everything and anything, including ourselves, and to not allow anything deemed ugly in some manner to be displayed for the view of others.

Some might argue that I am incorrect in my statement citing the premise that we view lot’s of emotion daily on news reels, tabloid venues, and reality-based TV shows and yes!, we do see lot’s of something in those arena’s yet in many cases it is not what I would call healthy emotional expression.

Anger, is an emotion, it is not an action.

Anger is an energy and actions come forth from one applying their Will to an energy.

Anger is one of many energies categorized as emotion and energies are neither good nor bad, they just ARE, until they are utilized by one’s Will and directed for manifestation therefore any energy can be utilized in any manner.

Energy-workers understand this quite well and  simply term it transmuting energies and the first step in transmuting energies is to first drop the label off an energy and just feel the vibration.

Energies have many different levels of mass and the more compacted the mass, the denser an energy feels to the human system, hence the labels of low and high vibration/energies.

Anger just happens to be a more dense energy and can pack a real punch to someone that is not accustomed to working energies or does not find the intensity appealing, and yet the quantity of energy contained within anger if utilized in the proper manner, can deliver huge results for beneficial purposes.

By acknowledging the presence of one’s anger and by not denying the existence of this energy (which in effect will only repress it and will not make it go away) you can take steps to utilize your anger as the fuel for meaningful purposes and lessen the possibility of your anger having negative ramifications for yourself and/or others.

Mars Station Retrograde 19’42 Leo Today> The Fire burns Bright Within

Posted in Astrology in Daily Life, This is My Reality, tagged on December 20, 2009| Leave a Comment »

Mars has reached his retrograde station today, at 19°42 Leo, and will be retrograde for the next 10 weeks, which I have previously written about here: Mars Retrograde In Leo: December 20th – March 10th

Here in the US Mid-Atlantic, we awoke to a picture outdoors that I thought was just perfect for Mars turning retrograde.

Yesterday brought a nor’easter up the Atlantic Seaboard and blizzard conditions were prevalent across many states.

Baby it is cold outside..and the Fire’s are burning bright within households up and down the East Coast.

Mars retrograde is all about the Fire turning within, from without.

So as I peeked outdoors this morning right before daybreak, the view to me was like Mars giving a heads-up, that indeed he was now departing the outer and taking residence, within.

Thought I’d share a few pics I snapped off of my view here along the Pennsylvania/Maryland border.

Have no idea what our official snowfall was recorded at though it appears to be over 20 inches.

Be safe All, and if you reside in the ‘drop-zone’, hope you find enjoyment in all that frozen white stuff!

Blessings 🙂

Saturn Transit Libra> A Lesson in Boundaries: A Simple Visualization and Energy Technique for Boundary Development

Posted in Astrology in Daily Life, Healing,Energy Work,Conscious Development, Tips and Tools, tagged , , , , , , , , , on December 19, 2009| 9 Comments »

Saturn (boundaries) is now transiting Libra, the sign of relationship, balance and justice, and boundaries in relationship have become the hot topic of the season.

Boundaries and relationship go hand-in-hand and you just can’t have one without the other.

As Saturn transiting Libra is a collective influence, unless you plan to become a Hermit, this is an area everyone has to come to terms with these next 2+ years.

As I have stated previously in other articles I do not see boundaries as ever being about the other person.

Boundaries are always personal and solely about you.

When lacking healthy boundaries we are often inclined to acting out the victim archetype and playing the ‘blame game’ for we feel that everything that occurs in their life is the result of an others actions.

There is no happiness, joy, nor self-fulfillment within the state of victim-hood and it is not a pleasant place to be .

Victim-hood is the residence of stress, anxiety and anger.

Victim-hood harbors guilt, shame and self-disappointment within it’s walls.

Yet if you find yourself residing within victim-hood, you can make the choice to step out of those walls, and it really is much easier than you may believe.

I am a firm believer that, “No One or Thing can cause us harm nor control us in any manner unless we allow it to be so”.

This, is where boundaries come in.

When assisting clients in the area of boundary development I often offer a visualization that makes it quite easy to immediately start building boundaries in your life and enforcing them with others, even if you have previously struggled with understanding or utilizing boundaries and are currently feeling dis-empowered your relationships.

Grandmother gifts Snuggies in Attempt to Thwart Out-of-Wedlock “Boot-Knockin”: A True Moon Story :)

Posted in Astrology in Daily Life, This is My Reality, tagged , , , , , on December 17, 2009| Leave a Comment »

Here we are counting down the last days until Christmas, and all the young people in my life are a mixed bag of anticipation, hope and trepidation (((laughs))).

Yes, trepidation, over the possibilities of just what might be inside those innocuous appearing wrapped packages, under their grandma’s tree.

It is a well-known fact that grandmothers can, and will, gift you with what they think you need.

After all, they have eons more of experience in life matters than your parents do, and to them, your parents are still kids anyway so therefore they simply cannot be relied on to make sure you have everything you really, truly need.

Now make no mistake, if grandma feels you need Preparation-H (let’s not even get into how or why she would think that..UGH), but the point is, if she THINKS you need Preparation-H, you can bet your arse, that is exactly what you will be unwrapping in front of the whole family at Christmas.

And be prepared, to suck up your mortification and smile big for that picture you know she is going to insist on taking to mark that special occasion.

Nothing like being memorialized in the family albums for all-time with your big ‘ole grin and a tube of Prep-H. (((giggles)))

Who hasn’t been there done that one, though??!!

It is just a part of being a dutiful and appreciative grandchild, and if you were fortunate enough to have grandparents, and they treated you well as grandparents should..then hey, what’s a little personal mortification once or twice a year to show how much you love them, right?

So, onto the story that prompted this blog today.

New Moon in Sagittarius: 12/16/09 > New Intentions are Amped by All Planets in Direct Motion

Posted in Astrology in Daily Life, tagged , on December 15, 2009| Leave a Comment »

The New Moon at 24° Sagittarius occurs on Wednesday, Dec. 16th at 7:02 am EST.

A New Moon is an opportunity, to begin something anew and/or to redirect your course, in regards to any insights you may have had since the illumination of the last Full Moon.

This New Moon in Sagittarius is of a particularly powerful nature, as it receives the energetic support of numerous aspects to other planets, all of which, are now in direct motion.

This moon event is offering us a fabulous spring-board for change!

************************************************

The previous Full Moon offered us illumination to clearly identify any areas in our lives that we may have been the unconscious ‘follower’ of any ideologies or individuals/groups that may no longer be serving of our Higher Purpose.

Have you had any lightbulb moments of crystal clarity suddenly arrive in the past two weeks, concerning a situation or an other in your life that as of recent has felt off or illusory in some manner, yet you just couldn’t quite put your finger on it?

If you have, it is likely you are now ready to do a course-correction in some manner and this new moon is fully supportive of exactly that.

Meditational Thought of the Day: Are Your Emotions Serving You?

Posted in Astrology in Daily Life, Meditational Thoughts, tagged , , , , , on December 14, 2009| 2 Comments »

All of our Emotions exist to Serve Us.

When you feel good, and are in a vibration such as Joy, Passion, Optimism and/or Contentment, it is a clear indicator that you are on course, in your path.

This is an experience, be it of a solitary nature or shared with an other, that you want to continue to embrace, for it shall serve you well.

When you feel poorly, and are in a vibration such as Frustration, Anger, Despair and/or Worry, it is a clear indicator that you are off course, in your path.

This is an experience, be it of a solitary nature or shared with an other, that in it’s current form, is not of your best interest and will not serve you well.

By embracing the emotional scale instead of denying it, you are availing yourself to a valuable navigational system that shall assist you in steering through these currents, that we term The Human Experience.

Master Your Emotions and enjoy smoother Sailing.

Allow Your Emotions to Master You and the waters shall be ever turbulent.

Listen to Your Emotions, allow them to share their Wisdom, then act upon the Wisdom they have shared, and chart your course accordingly.

Have courage and trust, in Yourself and your ability, to be the Fearless Master, of Your Ship.

Mars Retrograde in Leo> Dec. 20th-March 10th 2010: Last Call for Beginning New Endeavors before We hit the “Review Button”

We are now one week shy of Mars going retrograde, and I have found myself putting my inspiration for any new projects/creations, into solid foundations at lightening speed this past week.

How about you? Have you suddenly felt the need to jump start any endeavors, laying the ground work, at a frantic pace?

If you have, you likely have been sensing the forthcoming Mars retrograde, and have been acting on your Astro impulses and are more in-tune then maybe you realized. 🙂
