Mercury Direct in Taurus 5-11-10> “Recovering What Was Lost”

May 8, 2010 by Kachina Houska

Mercury turns direct at 2°40′ Taurus on May 11th, 2010 and once again traverses 2°-13° Taurus where we have been receiving varied information and insights during the retrograde phase. We now consolidate that which we have observed and put considerations to and begin to move toward externally expression of our revised situations. Mercury exits the shadow period on May 28th and by that point we will have brought stability to various area’s in our lives in preparation for undertaking new initiatives during this summer’s Cardinal influence that should prove to be quite dynamic!

In my previous post on Mercury Retrograde in Taurus , I shared how I viewed this retrograde phase as bringing us to clarity on that which we value and how we needed to go about securing a treasure(s) that we hold in high regard by placing our energy where it would bring the best possible outcome desired. With the Scorpio-Taurus Full Moon occurring during this retrograde, many of us found it necessary to make adjustments that would allow us to proceed to claiming that which we value. These adjustments included a letting go of any situations/endeavors that were not producing favorable results in regards as to the amount of energy we were expending in these situations/endeavors.

Full Moon @ 9′ Scorpio 4/28/10> Regeneration

April 28, 2010 by Kachina Houska

The Full Moon on April 28th, 2010 occurs at 8°07′ Scorpio/Taurus at 8:19 am EST.

Where a Full Moon falls in our charts is where we are gifted the opportunity of becoming Conscious (Sun) of that which has been Unconscious (Moon) as during a Full Moon the Sun shines directly upon the Moon eliminating all shadows.

This lunation is also known as the Wesak Moon and finds its correspondence to Buddha. For those that are interested you can learn more concerning the Wesak Moon and the correlation to Buddha by visiting SouledOut.org

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

This Full Moon finds the Sun conjunct Mercury (just hours before the exact inferior conjunction) in opposition to the Moon in Scorpio and with the co-rulers of the Scorpio Moon (Mars and Pluto) in aspect to both the Moon and Sun this is a powerful lunation!

Current Emphasis in Earth> Time to Get Practical :)

April 21, 2010 by Kachina Houska

The Sun has joined Mercury and Venus within Taurus, Saturn is once again visiting Virgo and Pluto and the North Node remain in Capricorn.

With this current strong emphasis in Earth, these next days are favorable for all things practical, and this should come as a great relief after many weeks of much emotional and mental activity being catalyzed by our Pisces-Aries transition.

Now is a fabulous time to put to order all that was neglected and/or strewn about during the past weeks of upheaval.

With Mercury currently in retrograde, ‘spring cleaning’ of anything and everything in need of attention is a wonderful way to still the mind and allow Mercury the free space to bring forth new insights concerning the past weeks events.

Physical activities are also favored and advisable, especially with Saturn’s return to Virgo, and now is a great time to step up your fitness program or to commit yourself to attending your physical fitness if need be.

Here’s to rolling up those sleeves and getting down to the practical endeavors that are quite necessary for total well-being! 🙂

Mercury Retrograde in Taurus April 18th – May 11th, 2010

April 19, 2010 by Kachina Houska

Yes, it is that time again. 🙂

Mercury has turned retrograde at 13° Taurus on April 18th, 2010 and will retrace back to 2° Taurus where direct station will occur on May 11th.

These next 3 weeks offer an opportunity to review and reevaluate that which has taken place in our lives during the approximate time frame of April 4th-April 17th when Mercury first traversed these degrees of Taurus in direct motion.

During the forward motion of Mercury through the early degrees of Taurus we have had constant aspects between Mercury and the following bodies: Venus, Mars and Pluto. We have also had considerable contact between Mercury and these bodies: Saturn, Neptune and Chiron.

A lot going on here in a the space of a few short weeks!

New Moon @ 25′ Aries 4/14/10> Hastened New Beginnings and Continued Endings with the Possibility of a Few Twists

April 13, 2010 by Kachina Houska

The New Moon in Aries @ 24°27′ occurs on April 14th, 2010 at 8:29 am EST.

We have had over 3 weeks pass since the Vernal Equinox delivered some phenomenal energies thanks to the jump start assistance of Mars. Now we find that which began during the Equinox and then was brought to light for adjustment after the last Full Moon in Libra/Aries is now being focused through a yod formation to Saturn in Virgo for further expansion and grounding.

Since the Equinox, there has been a heightened sense of the ‘old’ and the ‘new’ overlapping. Many forms have gotten off to a rapid start while others forms that have outlived their usefulness continue to come to completion. This has been quite an intense time for many and there has been some confusion as to what is really leaving completely and what is being transformed into a new expression and shall continue forward with us albeit in a renewed form.

Pluto Retrograde in Capricorn 4/07/10 – 9/13/10

April 9, 2010 by Kachina Houska

Pluto turned retrograde @ 5°25′ Capricorn on April 7th and remains retrograde until September 13th, 2010 when direct station occurs at 2°47′ Capricorn.

Pluto first covered these same degrees in forward motion between September 12th, 2009 and April 7th, 2010. There has been much occurring since last September in the arena’s governed by Capricorn(see below) and now we will be evaluating that which had transpired from a different angle during this retrograde phase.

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

Pluto is commonly referred to as the planet of Transformation, Death-Rebirth and Power.

The highest function of Pluto is to empower individuals and societies through bringing to an end that which has become non-productive and toxic, within and without an individual and/or societal structure, purifying the said entity on the deepest level and allowing for new forms to be seeded and birthed free of previous non-beneficial influences.

Saturn Re-enters Virgo in Retrograde Motion 4/7/10> Last Call on Virgo/Saturn Initiatives

April 3, 2010 by Kachina Houska

Saturn returns to Virgo in retrograde motion on April 7th and turns direct while within Virgo on May 30th @ 27°50′.

Saturn’s stay in Virgo comes to a close on July 21st, 2010 when Saturn returns to Libra hence signaling completion of another cycle of Saturn within Virgo for another 28+ years.

Saturn, as the teacher, brings forth lessons that assist us in restructuring area of our life functions that are in need of updating to better reflect whom we are today and to support our growing into a future expression that is in harmony with our path.

Saturn’s transit of Virgo these past years has offered insight into where we have been falling short in our Virgo sector(health, daily routines, pets) and has encouraged us to improve the function of anything we found to be of dysfunction.

We are now entering the last review for these Saturn/Virgo concerns, and if there is anything we failed to complete that Saturn had slated for us, these next weeks will bring these area’s into focus once again.

To review information concerning Saturn’s return to Virgo you may wish to revisit this article: Saturn Retrograde: Culmination in Virgo

My Children and Their “Rabbit-Rabbit Days”: The Choosing of Destiny over Fate?

March 30, 2010 by Kachina Houska

Some time ago I wrote a little piece about an experience I had with my daughters when they were young concerning their observance of their sacred “Rabbit-Rabbit Days“.

I suppose I wanted to share this story today, as we are quickly approaching a period that may necessitate our needing to make choices quickly from that which is presented to us by the Cardinal Transits of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Pluto, and I feel this story may hold relevance for those that are seeking to roll with the coming changes with as much grace and ease as is possible.

At one end of the scale we have those that feel the coming changes are completely beyond our control while on the other end are those that feel all is self-created and within full control of each individual.

I would like to think most of us are balanced fairly well between the extremes.

While I do agree that certain situations and developments do occur in this life that are beyond our control I maintain nonetheless that our actions in regards to said situations/developments are always within our control.

I embrace Astrology from this same standpoint and feel that while we are subjected to certain parameters at certain times, it is entirely up to the individual as to the manner in which one relates to energies at hand and how one chooses to act, or not to act, upon said energies that determines the outcome.

For me, this is the difference between fate and destiny.

I shared this Rabbit-Rabbit Days story previously in forums and many seemed to have enjoyed it, so dusting it off and sharing here today, take what you will from it and discard whatever doesn’t appeal to you personally!

Blessings. Kachina

~Rabbit Rabbit Days~

When my daughter’s were young they had a monthly tradition and Rabbit-Rabbit Day is what they termed it. The first day of every month and immediately upon awaking they were to speak aloud “Rabbit Rabbit!”.  No other words could precede this sacred chant for if one were to utter any other words first it would certainly mean a month of doom and no good things could possibly occur in one’s life until the next Rabbit-Rabbit Day was properly honored.

Full Moon @ 9′ Libra 3/29/10> Balancing The “I” and The “We”

March 28, 2010 by Kachina Houska

On March 29th, 2010 @ 10:26 pm EST we have our next Full Moon event at 9° 17′ Libra/Aries.

Where a Full Moon falls in our charts is where we are gifted the opportunity of becoming Conscious (Sun) of that which has been Unconscious (Moon), as during a Full Moon, the Sun shines directly upon the Moon eliminating all shadows.

As this is the first Full Moon to occur after the arrival of the Vernal Equinox and Mars turning direct and this Moon occurs in the sign of Libra where Saturn has been bringing forth lessons concerning relationships for the past 5 months, this is a significant event and will have effect of note for everyone, not only those with natal points directly aspected by the Full Moon due to Saturn’s transit of Libra being a collective influence.

This Libra/Aries lunation is a continuation of the previous New Moon in Pisces where we were brought to the threshold of  new beginnings and possibly found ourselves needing to bless and release any factors in our life that were preventing our moving forward into a new form of expression. The Pisces Moon graced us with a broader awareness as to why a parting of ways with certain people and certain forms (both of the material variety and non-material variety) was of necessity before taking our next steps upon our path.

We now find ourselves focused within the Aries/Libra axis where Aries is concerned with the “I” principle and Libra is concerned with the “WE” principle.

Weekend Moon in Virgo Offers Clues for Retro Saturn’s Return to Virgo

March 27, 2010 by Kachina Houska

On April 7th Saturn in retrograde motion will reenter Virgo for approx. 3 months bringing to a close our lessons of a Virgo nature.

This weekend, 3/27 – 3/28/10, the Moon transits Virgo and is offering intuitive clues to area’s where we may be called to task when Saturn reenters this sign.

Virgo is concerned with health and hygiene, daily regimens and communication.

Over the weekend the Virgo Moon will trine Pluto and then oppose Jupiter and Uranus.

This translates to the intuition(moon) offering clues of a practical nature(virgo) as to what we still may need to transform (pluto), in relation to our Virgo initiatives, with sudden idea’s (uranus) coming forth to assist in our rapid expansion and growth(jupiter) in any areas we apply ourselves to when Saturn returns to Virgo.

Pay attention to what you are receiving this weekend, specifically making note of anything concerning Virgo functions, and you’ll be better prepared for anything which may come your way shortly as Saturn returns to Virgo.

Blessings! Kachina
