Moon in Taurus

The Moon is in Taurus, an Earth sign, ruled by Venus. Mercury is close by, also in Taurus. Feelings and thoughts may be drawn to things of beauty that you appreciate. How wonderful would it be to take a walk through a beautiful garden, to smell the flowers and delight in their wonderful colors and shapes. This is the sensual energy of Taurus.

Drink in this energy on this gorgeous Friday morning. Let it sweep you away in daydreams.

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."

Aries Full Moon with a Total Lunar Eclips

October 8, 2014 at 5:51 am CDT

This Full Moon brings to light the need for balance in relationships.  The Sun is in the sign of Libra, which is ruled by Venus (love, women, beauty, art), and the Moon will be in Aries, which is ruled by Mars (assertion, energy and power.)

This Full Moon is essentially highlighting the need to find balance in our relationships.  It may bring about sudden change or need to pull back from a close bond with a significant person.

This is a very powerful Full Moon.  Ponder the changes that you feel you need to make in a relationship.  And, keep in mind that the changes may be demanded from the other person in relationship with 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.

Romanticizing Life

“Remember, remember, this is now, and now, and now. Live it, feel it, cling to it. I want to become acutely aware of all I’ve taken for granted.”

― Sylvia Plath

These words give expression to my thoughts of patterns in the sky today.  We have Neptune in hard aspect to Venus, bringing to my mind how we romanticize life, and yes, take things for granted.  We can allow ourselves to see our life, and people we love, as we want them to be, not as they truly are.

Emotionally, you may feel “squashed” or unable to express your feelings to those closest to you.  This is a fleeting expression of Saturn today as it contacts the Moon.

I would love to be of service to you, to show you how these challenges manifest in your personal chart, as well as show you the opportunities that are coming up for you.  Email me at marsha.massino at gmail dot com for details.
