Full Moon - Super Moon 11/14/2016


8:52 am CT at 22 Taurus, 22 Scorpio

A Super Moon is simply a Moon that is at its perigree – that is, at its closest point to Earth. We had one in October as well. The Super Moons create more of an electric buzz or have more impact on energy levels.

A Full Moon is the time of culmination of the intention you set at the time of the New Moon. It is time to look back over the past couple of weeks and see what you intended and how you have progressed.

Some rituals to try out at this Super Full Moon may consist of writing down your intent for the next cycle, smudging and clearing your home, bathing your crystals in the light of the Full Moon over night to recharge them. You might also make an elixir using a crystal submerged in a glass container of water which you leave out under the Full Moon. (Be careful that you don’t use a crystal that will dissolve or break down in water – I once did this with Angelite.) You then can drink the water – infused with the energy of the crystal.

The Moon in Taurus will be opposite the Sun in Scorpio. They are both Fixed signs – which means they pretty much will dig in their heels if being prodded to change when they’ve made up their mind.

Each Moon sign has a characteristic need for security. In Taurus, there is a need to keep things as they are until such time as they can be assured that a change will not affect their security.

Taurus loves sensuality, and part of that need is met by connecting to the Earth in some way. This need can also be met by doing something physical, be it sex, watercolors or making dinner.

Scorpio is a Water sign, which brings with it the potential of developed intuition or psychic ability. Scorpio is ruled by Pluto, and the drive is for intensity, going into the depths to find answers, doing research, transformation, the cycle of birth and death. The occult is associated with Scorpio.

When Scorpio and Taurus are opposing each other it creates tension, and can result in reactions to the stress. Taurus craves security before making a choice, while Scorpio is ready to step out and see what’s out there, take a leap of faith and uncover the answer to a mystery. 

Be open, observe and take note of how this Full Super Moon affects you. The more you are aware of the Moon cycles and how they affect you, the more prepared you are to deal with them.

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?

Sagittarius Moon 11/1/2016


As of 9:44 am CT on 11/1/2016, the Moon will be in the Fire sign of Sagittarius.  This brings a spirit of optimism, adventure and curiosity.
Enjoy and take in the knowledge that could come your way during the next couple of days while this inspirational energy surrounds us.

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.

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.

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.

Aries Sun & Moon

Blossom like a flower today. Go within and visit your imagination; let it grow and enrich your spirit.
The Moon and Sun are both in the Fire sign of Aries. Aries is also a Cardinal sign and Cardinal energy can inspire you to act. Take a look at projects that need to be completed - could today's energy grant you the drive to finish what is undone?
As always, I would be my pleasure to interpret your birth chart or do a Soul Realignment reading for you. My rates are competitive. Message me if interested.

New Moon in Pisces, March 8, 2016

New Moon, March 8, 2016
7:55 pm CT
Madison WI 
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."

Achievement

The planets I'm taking notice of today are the Sun, Pluto and Uranus. They're in hard aspect to each other and all are in what I refer to as "achievement" signs (Capricorn and Aries). 
So to me, it has been a day to get out and DO something. So here I am at 5 years old, riding my tricycle!

Akashic Record Reading

Have you ever had an Akashic record reading? I'm offering these readings now in addition to astrology readings because I believe in them so much - the wholeness you experience, the ability to embrace your natural energy centers, restoring you to non-judgment and release of energies that do not serve you.

An Akashic record reading is an energetic reading of your soul. It teaches you about how choices you've made in the past have resulted in your current experience.  Negative choices in the past can result in blocks and restrictions in the present.  I can help clear these blocks and restrictions, opening the way for positive future choices.

An Akashic record reading can bring so much clarity to you - show you who you are in relationships, teach you about self-acceptance and uncover energies that are blocking your path.  

You can also learn about your Spirit Guides and their purpose in your life.  You can communicate with them and learn what messages they have for you.  

I'd love to be of service to you with a reading.  Contact me to schedule a session!  Email me at AstrologyByMarsha at gmail dot com or Marsha.Massino at gmail dot com.  I look forward to hearing from you!

Mercury Goes Direct Today

Mercury goes Direct today at 8:57 am CT. This trickster has been up no good even yet this morning for me, messing with my computer!  

The Moon is in the watery depths of Scorpio with no VOC (void of course) until 11:32 pm CT tonight through 10:46 am Thursday. Shopping under a VOC Moon can lead you to purchase items that you thought would be useful, but later turn out to be left in the drawer, or not what you expected.

Get your Valentine's shopping done. Under the influence of Scorpio, you may choose a gift for your sweetheart that is rather "Shades of Grey" in nature! If you wait until Thursday or Friday, under the influence of fiery Sagittarius, the gift you choose may be playful and adventurous - a vacation for two?

Taurus Full Moon

4:23 pm, November 6, 2014


Taurus is ruled by Venus, and this Full Moon just happens to be in touch with Venus, along with the Sun in Scorpio.

Scorpio has a reputation of being sultry, dark and deep.

Taurus, being ruled by Venus, is sensuous and Earthy sign, in touch with things that “feel good.”

What a combination this is, Scorpio and Taurus.  This could bring a night of sexual promise or perhaps luxuriating in sensual delights such as a massage or a relaxing day at the spa.


Relax and take your time today, allow yourself to enjoy the pleasures of life.

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.

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.

Pisces Full Moon 9/8/14

Pisces Full Moon
Monday, September 8, 2014
8:38 pm CDT

What happens when you marry the energy of illusion and intuition (Pisces) to that of service and health (Virgo)?  This is what is coming up for us at the Full Moon on Monday.

Pay attention to your body and the messages it is sending to you.  Perhaps you need to change your eating habits, or increase/start exercise. 

Meditation is a powerful tool to help you still your mind and really hear the message.  If you find meditation difficult, I highly recommend recordings that use binaural beats.  It helped me really get into meditating.


“Think of surges of sexual power; containing instincts, as a muse in a museum or as stifling wildness in a cage. Watch for red hair; matted hair, internal inflammations seeking external expression; creative strokes that shine like gold. Be alert for mirror images: revelations about human and ape-like affinities; raw, powerful expressions as opposed to mere emulation; refined social manners encroaching on one's inner wilderness; stark stripping away of social niceties. Consider pent-up forces that call for assimilation; malaise from feeling caged; a dexterity for getting the swing of things; breathing techniques for drawing on inner resources."

Virgo New Moon

On August 25th there is a Virgo New Moon, with both the Sun and Moon in the 9th 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.

Aquarian Full Moon, Sunday August 10, 2014

We will have an Aquarian Full Moon on Sunday, August 10th at 1:10 pm CT or 7:10 pm BST.  This Full Moon is being called a Super Moon.  The reason it is called a Super Moon is because the Moon is at its perigee, or closest point to the Earth. 


At this time, Mercury is involved tightly with the Sun, and opposite the Moon.  Saturn in Scorpio is in stressful contact with the Sun, Mercury and the Moon.  This could manifest in restriction of emotional expression in some way – censorship?  There is a lot of Fixed energy with this Full Moon, so you are well advised to be aware and be prepared to go with the flow.

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 23rd.  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.
