Capricorn Moon 11/4/2016

Capricorn is a Cardinal Earth sign.  Cardinal signs are the enthusiastic initiators of action in the Zodiac, which includes Cancer, Libra, Aries and Capricorn.

There are five planets in Cardinal signs today:  Jupiter in Libra, Uranus in Aries, as well as Moon, Pluto and Mars in Capricorn.

Uranus is square Mars and could indicate extreme rebelliousness, sudden aggression or a competition of strong-willed individuals.

We also have Pluto square to Jupiter.  This is a ruthless energy, which could challenge belief systems.  It could also be expressed as a tremendous desire to succeed, bulldozing past any obstacles.  Sound familiar?

“Make no little plans, they have no magic to stir men’s blood.”  ~D. B. Hudson

New Moon in Pisces, March 8, 2016

Sun and Moon at 18 Pisces 55

The Sabian symbols for 18 Pisces and it’s opposite, 18 Virgo are a giant tent and an Ouija board. Imagery comes to my mind of continuously flowing intuition and how it naturally cycles with the horoscope. These are beautiful thoughts for a New Moon that is followed two minutes later by a total Solar Eclipse.

With Jupiter opposed to the Sun & Moon the energy of this New Moon seems as if it is being amplified by the expansive energy of Jupiter in service-oriented Virgo.

On the other hand, Saturn is making contact with all three powerful planets (Sun, Moon and Jupiter), inhibiting this beautiful expression. Imagine if you will the power of Neptune, the ruler of Pisces, as it is found in contact with the planet powering our thought process – Mercury. Through this force, I imagine the power of Neptune/Pisces being amplified despite those (Saturn) who would dampen the intuitive process.

Signs

This morning as I woke and glanced at the current horoscope at 4:46 am CT (just hours before Mercury retrogrades), I noted Jupiter at the Midheaven. Jupiter, the bringer of expansion and rewards, and I thought that perhaps I should focus on her instead of Mercury.

I also noticed Venus and Saturn together in Sagittarius, the sign of Jupiter. I was fascinated by this because Love (Venus) of Father (Saturn) was the first message I saw this morning on my computer.

As my teacher, Sonia Choquette, advised my intuition class last November, "notice the signs, they're everywhere."

Leo New Moon on July 26, 2014

On Saturday July 26th at 5:42 pm CT, we have a New Moon with the Moon and Sun in the early degrees of Leo. Jupiter is also in early Leo, bringing an expansion of this warm, generous and dramatic Leo energy. Remember that this is a great time to set an intention, but be sure to do it within 48 hours!

Get outdoors this weekend and surround yourself with people you love. Go on a picnic, explore the zoo with children or go boating.

Jupiter is in tense aspect to Mars at this Full Moon, bringing to mind the possibility of aggression/fights/disagreements among those in close relationship.

Again, as we have seen most of the Summer, there is an abundance of Cardinal energy: Pluto and Uranus continue their journey through Capricorn and Aries (yep, Cardinal). To add to this, Venus and Mercury are now well into Cancer (Cardinal) - a security-driven, emotionally tender sign.

Jupiter entered Leo

Jupiter (expansion) has just entered the sign of Leo (playful, generous and dramatic).  That sounds wonderful to me.  I could use a dose of playfulness, how about you?

Jupiter is the ruling sign of Sagittarius, the energy to learn, share (teach), profess, expand and bring optimism forward.  Sagittarius is a Mutable Fire sign, meaning that it is radiant, warm and flexible.

For those of us born late July through late August, or with planets in Leo, Jupiter may bring good fortune, enjoyment, or more learning opportunities.

The Sun will be entering Leo in two days, July 23^rd.  Leo is another Fire sign, but it is Fixed energy.  Fixed energy is just about like it sounds – not receptive to change.  Leos can be stubborn, or stuck in their ways unless given extraordinary reasons to change.

The positive side of Leo is charisma, generosity and warmth that evolved Leos radiate.  The negative side is puffy-chested, “I’m better than you, so bow down to my greatness" energy.

Most Leos just want to be accepted, acknowledged for their contributions and loved for who they are.  I think that’s true of most of us, don’t you?

Try not to feel that you are giving part of yourself when you compliment someone.  Just recognizing another person for their gifts, love, creativity or help can bring light into an otherwise gloomy day.
