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

Cancer Moon 10/20/2016

At 10:28 am CT the Moon will enter Cancer, a Water sign.  Cancer actively seeks to nourish and comfort others.  Think of the Mother archetype.  That is Cancer.  

Those with a Cancer Moon need and seek emotional security, which is what they also try to offer to others.

Now, with the Moon in the Cardinal sign of Cancer, there are a total of seven planets in Cardinal (get this party started) signs.  You should feel very supported if you're trying to start a new enterprise or project, especially with the Moon-Pluto transiting conjunction.  That's a fireball of power that's hard to stop.

Virgo New Moon

On August 25th there is a Virgo New Moon, with both the Sun and Moon in the 9^th house of travel, adventure and higher education.  Are you thinking of furthering your skills by taking a class?  Mars is in very tight aspect to Saturn, perhaps resulting in low energy.  The focus on this day, however, is on the Moon and Sun.  There is a suggestion of creative energies coming forward, with Neptune in aspect to the Sun and Moon. 

Get up, have a dance party (even if it’s only a party of one) and get those creative juices flowing.  Settle in and allow yourself to give expression to whatever comes through for you.

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.

Air Grand Trine

Emotions are running high today!  You may feel like shouting out your spirit of independence today.

There is an Air Grand Trine operating between Venus (love) and Mars (assertion) and the Moon (feelings).

Take a moment to dwell with your thoughts, feelings and desires.  Are they aligned with your goals?  How do they fit or not fit?  Give yourself time to think it over and feel out the path you wish to take.

I suggest a meditation, talking a walk, communing with nature before setting out on a new path.  Get in tune with your feelings and imagine how they might play out.

A consultation with an astrologer, such as me, can help you get in tune with your heart’s desires, life path and ambitions.  Email me at AstrologyByMarsha at gmail dot com.  A personal consultation can be done by phone, FaceTime or Skype for $125.  That’s a small investment for insight into your natal chart, to align yourself with your life path.

Capricorn Full Moon July 12, 2014

On Saturday, July 12^th at 6:25 am CT there will be a Capricorn Full Moon.  This melding of Cardinal energies (Water and Earth) results in mud!  Astrology is often delightful in the images it brings to mind.  Truly though, this is wonderful energy to make excellent progress on projects you may have neglected.

Once again, all of the Cardinal energies and signs are invoked in this Full Moon.  Mars (Libra) is square to the Sun (Cancer) and Moon (Capricorn) and Pluto (Capricorn) is square to Uranus (Aries).  If that isn’t enough, Uranus is also squaring the Sun & Moon.

The energy to get things started is truly there this Summer.  The tension is present (see the paragraph above) and Cardinal energy is at hand.

Today may be challenging

You could feel somewhat unlovable with today’s energy (Mars is square the Sun) making you feel as if you aren’t worthy of love and perhaps you’ll push them away if someone tries to cozy up to you. Let them bring you sweet messages and soak it up!

The next 36 hours may bring to you something new and adventurous courtesy of the Moon in Sagittarius.  On the other hand, you could hear/read a lot of preachiness on a topic that may not be in agreement with your beliefs.

Take advantage of this mostly fun energy before the Moon makes its entry into Capricorn (at about 10 pm ET on July 10th). The energy will then be all work and no play.
