Solar Eclipse New Moon @ 25 Capricorn January 15th, 2010: A Kick Start of Heart~

January 10, 2010 by Kachina Houska

We are treated to our first annular Solar Eclipse of 2010 on January 15th with the New Moon coming exact just a few minutes later at 2:11am EST @ 25°1′ Capricorn.

Due to the duration of this Eclipse, events put into motion by this eclipse will continue to develop and be a part of our lives for the next 3+ years, with new developments being triggered each time this 25th degree of Capricorn is transited by the Moon or an inner planet.

Where a Solar Eclipse occurs in our chart is where we are afforded an opportunity for new beginnings within the area’s governed by the house in which the Eclipse occurs.

To locate where this eclipse is occurring for you, look to the house which has Capricorn on the cusp, if you do not have a copy of your natal chart, generate one for free at Astro.com

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

As I looked at the chart of this eclipse this morning, and was musing over an appropriate title for this piece, I was hearing Motley Crue’s “Kick Start My Heart” playing quite insistently through my mind. 🙂

Upon a closer look at the chart for this Solar Eclipse event I was quite pleased to see that this event does indeed carry some fabulous Heart energies within it. I thanked my guidance with an “OH YES..absolutely perfect!”..and am now just downright excited to get this show on the road!

Mars Retro-ing with Venus, Saturn in Libra & 4 Planets + NN in Cap 7th: Today, it feels like this…

January 8, 2010 by Kachina Houska

if only for the briefest

of moments

‘tween dropped notes

of casual exchange

arises a verse

brought to your lips

its tone

come forth unbidden

no longer veiled within

tangles of rhyme

freed then I would be

to recite mine own

verse of love

liberating my fore silent lips

could heavens glimpse

then await our sight

if only you should

respond yea to the query

resting still ever patient

within my Heart.

Saturn Retrograde Jan. 13th,2010 @ 4′ Libra > A Review of Recently entered Libra and the Culmination of Virgo

January 8, 2010 by Kachina Houska

Saturn, the teacher, turns retrograde on January 13th @ 4°39 Libra.

This retrograde cycle of Saturn is not only taking place in Libra but will also carry back into Virgo, when Saturn re-enters the sign of Virgo on April 7th, bringing to a close our lessons of a Virgo nature when Saturn stations direct @ 27°50 Virgo on May 30th.

These situations/experiences that we first encountered while Saturn was direct will now be focused inward for reflection offering an opportunity for greater understanding to take place and allowing us to make any necessary adjustments to our Saturn area of influence and functions before Saturn once again travels direct and crystallizes our new Saturn related directives.

Lunar Eclipse conj. Cancer Ascendant: “Seeking Missing Personality, please call 555-xxxx if found.”

January 3, 2010 by Kachina Houska

So here’s the deal.

I am very quiet right now.

That is very odd for me.

Not only am I quiet outwardly, I am inner quiet too.

I am not referring to ‘stillness’, for this, is not that.

This, is the Void.

This is what came of my Ascendant/Descendant being aligned with the eclipse on New Years Eve.

And then some.

Add to that Mercury being retrograde in my 7th house, and I am crippled in a sense, in interaction with others.

Now I know what this is all about in the big picture, and I know how great this shall be in the end of this cycle, yet it doesn’t change that right now my personality is registering at less than zero, in my opinion.

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

December 30, 2009 by Kachina Houska

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.

Jupiter transiting the 12 Houses:

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

December 29, 2009 by Kachina Houska

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. 🙂

Meditational Thought: Forgiveness, Compassion and Understanding

December 27, 2009 by Kachina Houska

Forgiveness comes forth through Compassion.

Compassion is born of Understanding.

To truly forgive one’s self, or an other, one must have an understanding of how one has been served by an experience in which forgiveness is now sought.

Forgiveness is not an act of granting approval to one’s self or an other for an action that was harmful in some manner.

Forgiveness is an act of Completion.

Forgiveness is the act of releasing oneself from a lesson, now achieved.

Forgiveness is the acknowledgment of one’s smaller being to Source, that one has come to an understanding of the lesson of a challenging experience and has now reaped the knowledge of the experience that was of value in bringing growth to one’s Greater Being.

Forgiveness is also the releasing of that which was not of value to the Greater Being, from within the experience.

Those on the Journey to Wholeness via the path of Self-Healing, often become frustrated when an experience they feel they have found closure upon through forgiveness, arises once again for them, sometimes years later.

Often current life experiences that precipitate a need of coming to the state of forgiveness are manifestations of a much deeper root situation.

If you find a situation in your life reopened that you felt you had closed and achieved forgiveness within, by acknowledging this as an opportunity for deeper healing, you allow your Greater Self to lead you to Higher Understandings bringing forth Compassion from which the Highest Expression of Forgiveness springs.

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

December 26, 2009 by Kachina Houska

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

December 23, 2009 by Kachina Houska

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.
