New Year's Astrology Reading

I'm trying something new for the first day of 2017.  I decided to get out my Astro-dice and do a reading based on what comes up as I roll the dice.  I have three die:  house, sign and planet.  I did personal readings (one for my husband and one for myself) and loved the messages so much that I'm sharing one  here for all of us in the year of 2017.

Pluto in Libra, 6th house.  I'm interpreting this as:  transforming our ability to cope in today's society through expressions of balance and love.

This is a beautiful message.  To me it means that we can overcome all obstacles put in our way by being what was so eloquently expressed by Ghandi:  

"We but mirror the world. All the tendencies present in the outer world are to be found in the world of our body. If we could change ourselves, the tendencies in the world would also change." ~Ghandi

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?

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

Full Moon in Taurus and Sun in Sagittarius

Taurus Full Moon

17 November 2013

3:16 p.m. GT, 9:16 a.m. CT

There is again, a stellium in Scorpio with this Full Moon composed of the Sun, Saturn and Mercury.  This suggests a restriction (Saturn) of self (Sun) expression/communication (Mercury.) 

The Moon in Taurus is ruled by Venus and is concerned with security and building reserves (emotional, physical or monetary.)

May I suggest evaluating where in your life you feel that you are not getting your needs met, and focusing on ways you can feel fulfilled?

Sagittarius Sun

The Sun moves into Sagittarius on 21 November at 9:48 pm CT, 3:48 p.m. GT.  Get ready for adventure, opportunities to learn and good times with friends and family!  Fun-loving and adventurous Sagittarius brings the holiday season.

Scorpio Solar Eclipse/New Moon

3 November 2013

12:50 p.m. GMT/6:50 a.m. CST

Intense energy is promised with this Solar Eclipse/New Moon.  The Moon, Sun, Saturn, Mercury and the North Node are all together (in a tight bunch) in SCORPIO.

With Saturn in this stellium (three or more planets) in Scorpio, I believe there will be some conflicts about communications and further attempts at restricting reproductive choices.

Scorpio’s power is hidden beneath the surface and quite illusive.  However, as a Water sign, Scorpio can bring out passionate emotions.  I’m betting on an emotion-packed weekend for many since this New Moon occurs on a Sunday and the energy will have been building for a while.  Hopefully this will result in positive and uplifting emotions for you.

Aries Full Moon

 Friday October 18, 2013

6:38 pm CDT; 11:38 pm GMT

The Moon is in the me-me-me sign of Aries at this Full Moon with a Lunar eclipse.

Libran energy is concerned with finding balance in all things, while the Aries energy is driven to initiate and lead.  Add a challenge from Cancer, which is security-driven and you are heading down a path of…change, which is exciting, and yet takes into consideration the security needed to feel that you are on the right path.

Have faith that your journey is the right one for you.   

Whenever you are in doubt, make the choices that are in line with your goals.  Let your internal compass (your body) be your guide.  Verbalize your choices – say each one out loud and pay attention to how your body reacts to the words. 

Libra New Moon

Saturday October 5, 2013 at 12:35 am GMT

Friday October 4, 2013 at 7:35 pm CDT

With the Moon and Sun both in Libra, we see an accentuation on all things related to Libra:  relationships, fairness and equity, balance, indecisiveness.

Are you feeling the urge to make changes in your life?  Or have there been sudden unexpected choices that left you feeling confused? 

The New Moon in Libra is amplifying the energy of sudden transformation.  Even though changes may seem terrifying at times, it is good to take a step back, let it sink in and think about what the possible outcomes could be. 

Every choice you make today creates your tomorrow. 

Changes may seem threatening to your stability, altering your life in ways that you are not comfortable with.  Go with the flow until you feel it sink in and become part of you.  In time you will look back and understand why.

The Pluto-Uranus square is still in effect and will last into 2015.  Revolutionary changes that began back in 1965-1966 are being re-visited today.  Let us hope for a better world for our children and society at large.  Libran energy is concerned with fairness and balance.
