Aries New Moon, April 7, 2016

New Moon in Aries this morning at 6:24 am CT. Set your intentions within 48 hours for the month ahead.

Aries energy is very likely to inspire you to take action, perhaps on something that you've been putting off. Examine what needs to be done or started and get busy. Start new projects now while the energy is with you.

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.

Scorpio New Moon with a Solar Eclipse

October 23, 2014

4:57 pm CDT

This is a powerful New Moon in Scorpio.  The Sun will make her annual entrance into Scorpio just 10 hours earlier (6:57 am).   This partial Solar Eclipse occurs 19 years after a very similar one that happened on October 23, 1995.  Do you recall what was happening in your life back then?

The symbolism of Scorpio is most dramatically shown through the Phoenix rising from the ashes.  Or, you can think of it as death and re-birth, transformation, etc.

Scorpio is very powerful and intimidating.  Just know that the bark is worse than the bite.  If you let go and work through the change it can bring great reward to your life.

The house where the Eclipse falls shows where we can experience the most growth.  Your astrologer can help you locate this in your personal chart.  Email me at AstrologyByMarsha at gmail dot com if you’d like more information, or to schedule a reading.

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.

Cancer, Leo and Virgo – the signs of Summer!

 I have a contest for a free reading on July 1st – read through to the end for the exciting details!

Cancer ushers in Summer.  Cancer is a Cardinal Water sign. 

You may know that each season starts with a Cardinal sign:  Aries in Spring, Cancer in Summer, Libra in Fall and Capricorn in Winter. 

Each of these signs has a different element of operation.  For Cancer, it is Water.  Water signs are emotional and psychic.

Cancer began on June 21st with an Aries Moon – two Cardinal signs (Water & Fire, respectively) working together. 

Got a job to do, a project to complete, a mission?  This is the time to Redesign, Rework, Reinforce, Revisit the unfinished, while Mercury is still Retrograde. Cardinal signs are wonderful energies to work with in order to get it done.

On June 27th at 3:09 a.m. CDT, there is a New Moon in Cancer.  The Sun & Moon are both in Cancer.   This day will likely see assertion of the individual (Mars opposite Uranus) and you may either find yourself wearing rose-colored glasses when it comes to romance (Neptune square Venus) or you could find a well of creative inspiration.

There is a wealth of Cardinal energy involved in this Cancer New Moon.  Pluto (Capricorn) is opposite the Sun & Moon (Cancer), square to Mars (Libra) and square to Uranus (Aries.)  With all four Cardinal signs present, the energies of Water, Fire, Earth and Air are all involved.

Make it a point to set an intention at the New Moon, and do it within 48 hours.  Watch the cycle from the New Moon to the next New Moon to see how your intention manifests.

A very busy Summer is ahead of us, with so many different energies coming through.  How can you best deal with the struggles, opportunities and challenges?  Consult me for insight on your personal chart.  I can offer you helpful advice on how it impacts you, and for how long.  Your chart is your soul map for life – use the information it offers to you for your highest good!
