Weekly Weather November 8, 2010

We are still working under the energy of the powerful New Moon at 13:40 Scorpio until bright and early Tuesday Morning around 7 a.m. If you didn’t have a chance to read about it, please do so now. It is a powerful New Moon as it takes place at the same degree that Venus stationed at, 13 Scorpio. It is on two of the more powerful fixed stars~ the Sea Monster where deep feelings surface from the unconscious demanding to be made conscious and the Dolphin where we are asked to playfully create and work with whatever surfaces from the sea of our unconscious. It has a Finger of God, or fate, in it which asks us, guides us, prods us, pokes at us and positions us to change. Fingers of God are like giant sling shots where the chart comes down like a giant finger to flick us and our butts into moving in the correct direction.

Venus is back in decorous, proper, kind Libra after rolling around in the mud, and the muck and the grimy gunk of Scorpio for the past 63 days. We are carried back in time to early September, reviewing the emotional, money or love decisions we made that first week after Labor Day. And we are clearing old energies out ~ Venus is retrograde after all. “Re” words apply ~ to issues of money, desire and love ~ refinance, renovate, recreate, reconnect, re-love, remove, reinstate, resolve, remind, renegotiate, redo, and relate.

Last week Chiron and Neptune stationed in Aquarius, straddling by day before /day after the New Moon in Scorpio. Mercury squared Neptune and Chiron from late Scorpio so the covering veils fell away from your eyes. You saw something VERY, VERY clearly. Or perhaps you had an emotional awakening of some sort. Or a perhaps a combination of events or things stirred up something from deep in your soul. It bubbled to the surface either last week or it will appear this week.

The old emotional patterns are surfacing to be seen under the New Moon and Venus retrograde. Our emotions fuel and drive us, via connection, love or fear, to take actions. We create with passion ~ using the passion of Venus ~ to serve our Sun’s and life’s purpose. This week we get clear on OLD passions and how they no longer serve us the way that they used to. At the same time, the OLD passions point out how much has changed in our lives over the years. We see the old passions for how they DID work for us, even if they no longer do work for us in the same way. We need to revise, revisit or adjust our passions to incorporate the vision that is emerging from the fog of our new life.

We are at a time of enormous change in our culture and the world. Five (or six depending on how you count) OUTER planets are changing signs in the same small time frame of less than a year. Five of them are entering new quadrants of the anima mundi, or world chart. When a planet enters a new quadrant, it is what astrologers call “Cardinal” or action taking. Planets in Cardinal signs virtually can’t HELP themselves from taking action to do SOME thing, ANY thing, even if it isn’t a completely thought out action. The pulse of energy rushing through the new sign in the new quadrant is simply too strong.

However, sometimes the Universe WANTS us to think before we plunge head first into a new situation. It wants us to reconsider ~ sider ~ stars, con~ work with, re~ do it over so re-con-sider means “do it over so that it works with the stars” ~ before we move forward. When the Universe wants us to reconsider, it puts one of the personal planets retrograde for us to have a do over opportunity, granted with full knowledge of the heavens.

No mistakes that VENUS the ruler of both Saturn in Libra, Pluto in Capricorn and the North Node of Destiny is retrograde. Before you or I or anyone goes off half-informed or semi-crazed with all this exciting, not thinking energy, the universe wants us to be crystal clear about how we got to where we are as well as where we will end up if we keep up and repeat the same old story. And it wants us to see where we can go IF we change that story of ourselves ~ if we give ourselves permission to do it over. If we do it over in a way that actually makes us happy, conscious of our unconscious motivations and clearer about what exactly has to take place and/or change to get us where we SAY we want to go.

I had a good laugh with Laura where we thanked the Universe for the consistency of her ex-husband. I had a good cry with Susan about the consistency of her relationship with her daughter. Joan bemoaned the consistency of her husband. Mary worried about the consistency of her business partner. Consistency is good. But it can also cause problems where the same old behaviors repeat, repeat, repeat themselves and those who refuse to change right into oblivion simply because they ARE consistent.

Not now. The turn around time and survival rate of consistency and same old/same old is minimal right now. Often, when people are afraid, anxious or uncertain, they seek the consistent and familiar when change is presented. That is not a good strategy to take.

Instead, gaze, gently, at the emotions that surfaced last week (or this week), under the New Moon. What did they illuminate for you?

Next, imagine what your life would be like if you DIDN’T have those emotions that surfaced guiding your heart and actions any more?

Finally, what would happen if you put them down? What would that be like? Can you put them down? (Hint: the answer to that question is YES!)

The situation(s) we find ourselves in are created to help us live our life. In the case of the unconscious emotions that drive us, some times the unconscious emotions create the harder situations, unconsciously, that we find ourselves in. The only way OUT of those hard situations is to re-con-sider how we work with the heavens and our emotions. To get out of the hard situations, we need to make different emotional choices. We need to stop making the same emotional choices that we made out of fear, anxiety, or approval seeking especially if they reflect any false values, negative self talk or what would our mother, father, brother, sister, child, coworker, partner, therapist, church, or friend say? We need to make the choices from a place of knowing that the choice is correct FOR US, not the other person. It has to be a correct FOR US choice. If we can stand in THAT space, then we will choose the true choice for our chart.

Easy, no. Fun, probably not. But will you feel better? Yes, immeasurably better. You will be living your life the way you want to live it. And once you make that conscious choice, now that the unconscious has surfaced AND you see it, you WILL feel better. That is how it works. It is about individuating. Moving to the next quadrant and taking actions that support your next phase of life. Individual choices that support your soul’s path. Best thing you can do for yourself and everyone you know and love.

So what new cycles are starting? Pluto into Capricorn ~ a new 248 year cycle around the structures (and governments and corporations) in our lives. Once in a lifetime cycle. It actually started in January of 2008, but it really takes hold now that Saturn is in Libra. Neptune into Pisces ~ the ending of 164 year cycle next April ~ release time for the dreams to turn into reality ~ another once in a life time cycle. Uranus into Aries ~ in March 2011 (and last May, June, July) for a new 84 year cycle ~ another once in a life time. Chiron into Pisces ~ the ending of a 50 year cycle ~ it started with the BP oil spill, reversed and restarts again in February 2011. Saturn into Libra ~ a new 29 to 30 year cycle ~ back to 1980 to 1982. We get three Saturn cycles in a 90 year life span. Jupiter into Aries ~ a new 12 year cycle. We get 7 Jupiter cycles in an 84 year life span.

Of those, Pluto, Uranus, Jupiter and Saturn are entering new quadrants, with cardinal, action taking energy. Neptune and Chiron are moving into releasing, changing, mutable signs. And Jupiter and Uranus are starting brand new world cycles.

We are in a major period, as individuals, a collective and for the world, of enormous changes. That is why it feels so darned big and looming. At the same time, that is why is so exhilarating, once we get the hang of the new energy. And once we shake out and sort out the emotions from our earlier times of life (and perhaps earlier lifetimes), we will be able to really use the new energy in productive and valuable ways.

So re-con-sider the emotions ~ where they come from, what they served and if you need to keep them in your being. (Hint ~ the answer is no). If you let them go, what happens? If you store them in the box under your bed, what happens? Even if you retell the story to yourself in a new way, using the same facts but giving yourself a different conclusion, the story will change inside of you. Choose a happy ending.

At the end of Craig Ferguson’s show, there is a cat that sings and asks “And, what did we learn on the show tonight, Craig?” When having a bad patch during the day, I’ll sing that song to myself or out loud to my assistant Melissa. It always breaks the tension and makes us laugh. There are no right or wrongs. There ARE learning’s.

And what did YOU learn from Venus retrograde? Imagine her as a singing cat ~ it will make you laugh. And re-con-sider. RE-con-sider what lesson she’s been teaching you since September.

Monday November 8, Moon in Sagittarius adds more fire to the heavens. Finally, we get a chance to dry off a bit. Mercury enters the sign of his fall, Sagittarius ~ which while it is more fire is a very fast mouth that can get overwhelmed easily and speak a tad too frankly. Moon has nice closing aspects of a sextile to Venus offering a positive energy to events from Sunday and Monday. Be aware of the frankness of Mercury. While he is NOT incorrect, or perhaps betters said ~ while Mercury is correct, he can be unkind. Some times people don’t want to know the truth. Some times people can’t handle the truth. That doesn’t mean they don’t KNOW the truth. Give them (and yourself) a break from a pummeling with the truth. It isn’t to be used like a bully club. If it is true, it will surface. The truth always comes out.

Tuesday November 9 If the Stock Market is going to collapse, yesterday, today or tomorrow are the days. Pluto joins with the North Node of destiny and triggers the eclipse from late June. Today is a day of endings and departures, difficult endings and departures. Security issues rise to the surface as emotions swirl. Again re-con-sider. Notice what emotions the universe is bringing to the forefront of your brain and being. Moon joins with Pluto and the North Node suggesting the transformations that propel you forward to the new life. We forget that endings are part of how we are able to move forward to the new life. Our connections with our group are frayed and tested today.

Wednesday November 10 Moon in Capricorn has a closing square to Venus suggesting emotional principles cause losses. Sun has a blind side action with the Node and Pluto, suggesting we can be blindsided by the events of the day or early evening. There is a bit of an astringent quality to things today ~ bitter sweet but pungent at the same time. Piercing but cleansing. And, of course, emotional. Moon in Capricorn prides itself on being practical. But the emotional part of our being is not practical ~ it is supposed to be emotional. Attempting to be practical under this Moon is not possible. Feel the energy. Feel the emotions and re-con-sider how you can work with the heavens.

Thursday November 11 Moon in Capricorn until the middle of the day with a shift from solid earth into fixed air offers a move from action taking to pointed, detached visions of what we want for and from our lives. Upon awakening see the larger pattern of your life as reflected in your dreams. Connections with the spirit or ethereal world help us or guide us today. Dreams from the night or conscious dreams while awake. Pallas, the pattern maker is working over time to point out all the warning signs that we missed or didn’t notice. In hindsight, they are always crystal clear. There is emotional stress today that is not relieved but can be lived with. Re-con-sider again what is being asked of you. Tonight you vow to never ever again~ GOOD. Never ever is a good promise to make to yourself today.

Friday November 12 Find Moon in Aquarius bringing us into a deeper understanding of the collective. Moon is productive and positive in her aspects with nice closing aspects of a trine to Venus offering a good, positive conclusion to matters begun today or Saturday. Uranus, moving direct, practically explodes with creativity and ideas. Give yourself permission to get them out there into the world. Mercury needs to bite his tongue today before speaking his meaner thoughts as he is aware that criticisms stop creativity. When people are training for the theater and take an improv course, they are always taught to avoid the word NO, as it shuts down the creative process. No stops the creative process right in its tracks. How can you say YES today? How can you keep your No to yourself? Or perhaps murmur your No into your pillow? How do you get to yes? How do you reframe the message of the stars into yes? We are to partner with and not say NO to, the heavens. Partner.

Saturn’s day November 13 Moon in Aquarius makes friends and groups part of the day’s focus. Eris, our beloved Goddess of Discord is quite active today as she squabbles with Mercury and the Sun. It is an adjusting and living in the moment kind of day with several inconjuncts in place asking us to not go there unless we absolutely have to. One minute you will be up for adventure. The next minute, you will be wanting to sit that adventure out. There will be stress that asks you to take action. There will be stress that no actions release. There also are heightened emotions as Sun aspects Selena the emotional white lunar Goddess so family matters are particularly heightened. Sun also gets that the passage of time that we say heals all wounds some times reopens them. There is an end to the maternal principle today as Ceres, the grower of grain works with the ending energy of life ~ often this signifies the first frost. However, it can also be a maternal situation that ends ~ such as a miscarriage or the loss of a mother/maternal figure. An emotional ending of some sort takes place today.

Sunday November 14, Moon in Pisces is deeply emotional and sensitive with positive closing aspects. Emotions surface from a deep place in our being as Sun opposes Sedna, the ocean goddess. Sedna is on the position of the Jupiter/ Saturn conjunction from June 2000 so economic energy and work/life cycles from 2000 are back in our consciousness and asking us to work with them. We can take forward motion clearly if we understand how we got to where we are right now. Again notice what Venus’ retrograde journey has brought up for you as Sedna in Taurus is answering to Venus. Our old wounds never go away. However, they can shrink. We can put padding on them. We can pause when our button is pushed before we react. And sometimes, that pause before reacting is enough time for us to re-con-sider our choice to make a different choice. We pause. And then we can make a choice that is more consistent with our heart’s desire and in positive relationships to the new learning from Venus’ retrograde journey.

I wish I hadn't read this... I've been feeling mostly positive since the Sun came up, but this is all about losses.

I was just thinking that my emotions have been heightened since Pluto entered Capricorn, almost three years ago (inconjunct my Moon, Venus and South Node). I keep reminding myself to stay positive, enjoy the moment.. but I don't like that I'm *having* to remind myself.

I agree. With Pluto at 3.32 Cap conjunct the North Node at 3.38 Cap, the Universe is asking everyone to clear out the old "deadwood", so we can move forward into the next chapter of our lives. The Cardinal Cross from this summer was also trying to get us to release. I heard an astrologer (I can't remember who) on a Blog Talk Radio show, and he said, "They don't call it a "cross" for nothing." Doesn't it feel like that too? That we have been hanging up on a cross this year? Good old Pluto...transform or die.

It's tough letting things go that need to go. And I'm a Cancer...I don't let anything go. You have to rip it from my fingers..!

This is a good question, and I don't know.

T, I've said the same thing about her columns. It was starting to bug me, so I avoided the columns for a while.

It does feel that way. I know that Saturn and pluto aren't finished with my placements either (Saturn squaring Saturn, and almost into my 12th, and Pluto moving forward to aspect both N. saturn and pluto. *shiver*)

I want to let go, but I have such trouble with it. When Uranus sextiled my Moon/Venus late May/early June, I felt *great*. I felt free, but it didn't last. I have Saturn in Cancer, and Mars in the 4th (cancer influence), so maybe that's a part of it it for me, too.

Well Pluto is 3º away from my IC now but i already feel like if its already there..

lettting the old go,the old that no longer serve us...

and letting flow whatever comess...well yesterday i had an interview,i was bloody nervous andit was a victory for me the way it went.

it is not that its my dream job or anything,its just a way of ( if i succeed) getting some money.in order for one day to have my own business in fashion but...

if in the past i was really resisting to do something which i didnt wanted to,because it wasnt the expression of my Highest Excitement...i guess that now im not resisting anything anymore...im accepting what appears....might be Pluto perhaps.

With all of the Uranus in my chart, you would think that I would have no trouble letting go.

I love to hear of people experiencing good things.

(I need one of Lexx's sparkling icons...)

"I love to hear of people experiencing good things"

I agree completely. If people knew the negative effect of negative and critical comment to someone. One critical comment needs 10 positive comments to bring people on the normal balance. That speaks by it's self to understand the effect off negative word, thoughts and people....

That's psychology ....
