November

Astrological Guide
 for your Business and Personal Life.

Time for Gratitude and Forgiveness

            Astrology is more than cycles, transits and predictions. I have been blending astrology with mythology for many years. I was doing some research for my poem “One the beat road, with “The Goddess Within”: A Guide to the Eternal Myths that Shape Women's Lives.  I opened the book spontaneously to the Persephone myth. Understanding the Demeter and Persephone myth has given my life a deeper understanding of who I am.  I recommend this book to women who have the Sun Moon or rising sign (planets in the 4, 8 or 12 house) in Virgo, Pisces, Taurus or Scorpio. Also it would be wise for the signs Virgo, Pisces, Taurus or Scorpio to take a close look at the Solar Eclipse that was just in Scorpio on November 13 is at 21º Scorpio.

The Astrological Sky for November

            The astrological sky for November continues with Mercury in retrograde, meaning it appears to be moving backwards, from November 6^th through 26^th. Mercury retrogrades have challenges related to delays, miscommunications, finding and making mistakes, then having to fix them. During Mercury retrograde is NOT the time to sign contracts. Even if you’ve eliminated all the mistakes in it, you may misunderstand a key provision or regret signing it later when you have a better understanding of your needs. Mercury retrograde is a time to rethink our needs, catch-up or finish things, not a time to move forward with new projects.

            When Mercury is retrograde it can gives us time to slow down and learn something we have wanted to delve into especially with Mercury in Scorpio. Mercury will go direct on Nov 27 and be in Scorpio until Dec 10^th, when Mercury will return to Sagittarius. On Dec 5 the retrograde cycle will be over and we can to notice more easily and open communications and the flow of ideas will begin to get better. It is important to not believe all of what people say or promise will the hot air of Mercury in Sagittarius.

            The Mercury retrograde periods also can give us the time, during the Thanksgiving holidays to reconnect with friends and family we haven’t seen in a long time and heal any miscommunications we have with our families or friends. The cosmic key is to open our hearts to forgive and have gratitude for our families and friends.

            We’re also still in range of the cycle of Mercury square Neptune. This cycle is associated with confusion, chaos, and misunderstandings. So be extra careful to clarify your communications. This cycle of Mercury square Neptune is with us for a long time. It peaked for the second time on November 13^th. It temporarily goes out of range on Sunday November 18^th, but it will be back again in December.
 
            Next, beginning yesterday, November 15^th, a cycle related to volatile or explosive energies came into range. This cycle is Mars square Uranus. This is a heads-up for safety and driving issues, particularly since it peaks the day after Thanksgiving on November 23^rd. This gets especially challenging for accidents on November 21 – 24^th when Mercury gets into the mix and makes both communications and travel much more difficult. Mars square Uranus stays in range through December 1^st.   
              As Mars moved into Capricorn on November 17^th, another cycle comes in range. This cycle is Mars conjunct Pluto. This cycle is ideally used to transform our motivations and actions, giving us more energy to accomplish our goals. It is important to get extra exercise during this transit to avoid the negative emotions of anger or violent actions... Mars conjunct Pluto peaks November 27^th and stays in range through December 6^th.
 
            These can be very challenging energies, so we’re quite fortunate to have a third cycle, which is Mars sextile Neptune, peaking during this time. This cycle is associated with taking spiritually-motivated actions. It can also water down the energy to move forward in a volatile or explosive way.  Mars sextile Neptune peaks tomorrow on November 17^th and stays in range through November 20^th. Since this cycle is over before the intense and possibly explosive Mars conjunct Pluto cycle peaks, we’re fortunate to get a fourth cycle to help with these energies.
 
            This additional 4^th cycle, which is Mars sextile Saturn, will help rein in the explosive tendencies. People may get angry, but become less volatile when they do. This cycle is very strategically oriented. It wants to take actions with a plan in place. Wasting energy in anger is not part of its plan. This cycle comes in range on November 19^th, peaks on November 24^th and stays in range through November 29^th.
 
            On 28 November 2012, there will be a penumbral lunar eclipse at 7º of Sagittarius and Gemini, affecting people born with the Sun, Moon,  personal planets and Angles of their birth charts  between 2 to 12 degrees of the Mutable signs, Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces.  A Lunar Eclipse results from the Earth coming directly between the Sun and Moon. The Moon loses its reflected light from the Sun as the Earth interrupts it. Often the Moon appears to turn dark red while in the Earth’s shadow.

            This Lunar Eclipse occurs with intense line-up of planetary aspects that signal emotional and energetic challenges. This Full Moon is square Neptune and Chiron, with the Moon in conjunction with Jupiter in Gemini. There will be the urge to over expand with all this hot air from Sagittarius and Gemini with dreams that are not realistic or practical. It would be better to do some soul searching for what would be best for your highest good.

            Eclipses are often labeled as undesirable because they sometimes appear to provoke a crisis, but they are really a gift from the cosmos, showing where a more healthy state of affairs will evolve.

            I will be in Seattle until Dec 5^th and then off to Los Angeles for some Sun and a change to read my poetry in Venice Ca.  I will be doing reading until Dec 3 in Seattle. Check out my website for more information about readings or just call and we can discuss a consultation. 206 478-2724

October

Astrological Guide
 for your Business and Personal Life.

Let’s Fall Up 

 

I am playing caught up since my traveling to California in September to read my poems at the 1000 Poets for Change on September 29^th at the Beat Museum in San Francisco. I was born in the bay area and started to read my poems at the US Café on Haight St in the early 70’s. This was a wonderful experience for me to come full circle and read at the Beat Museum and see my reading of “On the Beat Road “at the Beat Museum on my new You-tube channel on my website http://www.marcymoonstar.com/

Now back to understanding and using the astrological cycles for better timing in our business and your life. Fall is the time of the year when the signs Libra, Scorpio and Sagittarius energies are being emphasized. The Sign Libra, we focus on bringing harmony, peace and balance into our lives. The Sun in Scorpio, bringing us the awareness of our deep feelings and the deeper mysteries of life, and with the Sun in Sagittarius from we need to communion with our families, friends and community, and take a closer look at our religious and philosophical beliefs.

There was a New Moon on Monday, October 15^th. This New Moon has a very strong message about having the opportunity to make breakthroughs in our lives with Mars trine Uranus.  Under these energies, you might decide to take some radical or unusual actions. Check out where the New Moon is in your birth chart, will give you information as to where to focus your energies for the fall months ahead.

Mercury entered Scorpio on Oct 5^th until Oct 28.^th. This will bring a tendency and the opportunity experience deeper interactions and communication with the people or you could be more secretive and private in your interpersonal relationships. It is a good time to study the occult or business, especially the real estate market.

On Thursday, October 18^th Mercury will be in what is called in the Shadow area. This is the place Mercury will be retracing when it moves backwards November 6^th – 26^th. So on October 18^th, Mercury begins to Slow Down and it becomes important to double check all details in your e-mails, letters, blogs, and website updates. Now the time to get your car checked and to get a full-system back-up done for your computers before Nov 6 when Mercury goes retrograde.

Also with Mercury in Sagittarius square Neptune between Nov 1-13 th., it would be best to be realistic and not have high expectations with this transit in business transactions.  This is a good time to be clear with your communications in your personal and business dealings. It would be best at this time to not believe everything people are saying at this time with Mercury in big ideas Sagittarius. This cycle of Mercury square Neptune is with us for a long time. It begins on October 23, peaks the first time on October 29^th and peaks a second time on November 13^th. It temporarily goes out of range on November 18^th, and comes back into range on December 6^th. It peaks for the third and last time on December 11^th. It finally goes out of range on December 15^th.

On October 5^th, we had a major astrological shift occurring in the heavens Saturn moved into the sign of Scorpio until the end of 2014. Now this is significant, because Saturn only changes signs once every two-and-a-half years and returns to the same sign every 29 years. We learn our most important lessons where Saturn is placed in our astrology charts and where it is by transit in the heavens. Saturn in Scorpio will ask that we confront our judgments, expectations, and conventions in the areas of sex, intimacy, and shared finances. In the time Saturn will be in Scorpio, we have the opportunity for going deep, sharing what's in our heart and soul, in supportive healing groups.

Saturn’s transit through Scorpio, suggests that each individual and group will have to become responsible for addressing and clearing out their personal “underworld.” One must take responsibility for one’s choices, actions and behavior before transformation can occur. It is important for us to have Saturn as our friend rather than our foe. On the physical level it is good time to let go of the clutter in our closets, drawers, basements and our offices. When we do these we will be more open to having new opportunities show up in our lives.

The signs that will be most influenced by Saturn’s Transit through Scorpio are the fixed signs: Scorpio, Taurus, Leo, Aquarius and the water signs: Scorpio, Pisces, and Cancer.

We will have Full Moon on Monday, October 29^th, with the emphasis on Venus opposite Uranus and square Pluto.  These astrological aspects with Venus can indicate unexpected relationship issues and sudden and passionate love affairs that do not last. These cycles come in range in October 28^th, peak on November 1^st and 3^rd, and stay in range through November 7^th and 9.^th  

On Monday October 29^th at 12:49 pm PDT there will be Full Moon with the Sun in Scorpio and the Moon in Taurus. This Full Moon there will be a strong urge with the Sun and Moon in strong aspect to Saturn to manifest your goals and aspirations in October and November especially if you have planets or the major angles ( 1, 4 7 or 10^th ) of your chart in Scorpio or Taurus.

At this particular Full Moon there will be an emphasis on Venus opposite Uranus and square Pluto. These astrological aspects with Venus can indicate unexpected relationship issues and sudden and passionate love affairs that do not last. These cycles come in range in October 28^th, peak on November 1^st and 3^rd, and stay in range through November 7^th and 9.^th  

This Full Moon also show us we may want to do too much with too little time, money or energy. To be successful stay focused on your most important project until you complete it. This is essential to your success. Don’t take on new projects until your current one is complete. This is the cycle of Mars opposite Jupiter, which peaks the day before on October 28^th. It stays in range through November 5^th.

Moon Wise Musing September

Moon Wise Musing

For September

For Better Timing

in Your Business and Personal life

We already had September New Moon in Virgo, on September 15^th at 7:11 pm.

After we set our intentions for our new projects, within a couple of days of the New Moon it is the best astrological timing to begin your new projects each month, especially with the Moon in Libra. This is a great month with the Sun in Virgo and Libra to begin to develop your team of supporters in your life and your business. And do not forget to have some romantic fun with Venus square Mars. This aspect will be especially strong between September 22-October 1 with Venus in Leo and Mars in Scorpio. (Wow that will be a hot and romantic time)

 The good news about our New Moon tomorrow is that there are unexpected potentials to make money. This is shown by the cycle of Venus trine Uranus,

This is a great cycle for making money unexpectedly from new technologies like the internet. It is time to change your websites and do some new website promotions and advertizing.  These cycles are part of the New Moon their impact will be with us for two weeks. However they are strongest now through September 18^th. I have a new poetry mini book “Poetry for children of all ages” Check out it out on my website http://www.marcymoonstar.com/books/MagicalPoetryforChildrenofallAges.html

In addition, we have another money cycle that comes into range on September 18^th, Venus sextile Jupiter. This cycle allows you to expand your income or wealth. Or you may choose to spend money on something you want, but probably don’t need. That usually means we’re having some fun! Venus sextile Jupiter peaks on September 20^th and stays in range through most of September 23^rd. I will be in San Francisco reading my poetry at the Beat Museum for the 1000 Poets for Change on Sept 29 at 3pm.

Next, two more cycles come in range on September 16^th. These cycles are Mercury square Pluto and Mercury opposite Uranus. These cycles are also associated with accidents and even fatal or near-fatal accidents. So this is a time to be extra cautious in driving. Accidents from these cycles are typically caused by not seeing someone, or someone making unexpected moves. Be sure to use your turn signals and keep your eyes open for people who may make sudden moves. This is no time to be talking on your cell phone when driving.  These cycles stay in range through September 24^th.  So be extra careful from September 16^th through the 24^th of this month.

Let’s not forget the Autumn Equinox on Sept 22 at 7:49 am Pacific Time and 10:49 am Eastern Time. It is time to enjoy the fall colors, drink apple cider and

prepare for the Harvest full Moon on September 29^th at  8:19 Pacific Time and 11:19 am Eastern Time. It will be a powerful and intense One.
