NEW MOON IN CAPRICORN~1/11/13~2:45pm EST

This week on January 11th not only the Moon will be in Capricorn, but also~the Sun, Mercury, Venus and Pluto~will also be in Capricorn. This is a powerful alignment of energies for identifying and committing to new goals. Capricorn is the sign that signifies attainment, achievement, integrity and discipline in all forms, including spiritually. With all these powerful energies, it is important to be aware of your thoughts, words and intentions during this time of (including 2 days prior and 2 days after) the moon, for these seeds, intentionally or not, will be the seeds of 2013...

Cosmic Cafe~September 2012

~challange~change~intesity~purpose~truth~self honesty~
the big news this month is the second square between pluto and uranus, occuring on september 18th, (the same day pluto turns direct). this plutonian square is part of a cycle that began last june and will not be completed until the spring of 2015. and the theme? you guessed it... authenticity..., the falling away of that which does not serve your destiny, and yes, these changes often occure suddenly and can cause great emotional pain. yet, in the end, it is these changes that bring about the true character of the 'self'. a character that we, somehow... may not even be familar with. 'like', not knowing 'we have it in us' so to speak. it is true these times can be painfully intense and make us feel like we just don't have the strength to continue or to 'start over'. but we do.... and these changes have the possibilty to bring about a new purpose and flow to our lives. and as we all know, this is the theme regarding the individual in relation to the coming 'age of aquarius'. 
9/6~venus in leo, squares saturn (karmic duty)
9/7~mars trines chiron
9/10~venus in leo, trines uranus
9/11~sun in jupiter
9/15~new moon in virgo (creativity), saturn trines ceres
9/18~pluto squares uranus (change)
9/22~autum equinox (balance), sun enters libra
9/30~full moon in aries (this moon has a relationship to the pluto/uranus square and holds the possiblity of challanges)

Cosmic Cafe~August 2012
the energies of august continues to offer a respite from the previous months of 2012. however, we are still in the middle of the 2 squarings of uranus and pluto, (the first occurred in june and second occurs sept 19), still these 2 planets remain closely squared until the second square in september. this energy maintains the focus on personal transformation and social restructuring.
august 1st ~ full moon in aquarius w/ sun in leo (usa-11:27pm est//uk-8/2)~(also the traditional day of the celtic wheat harvesting celebration)... these 2 energies combine to offer a light, positive, playful energetic feel. pay attention to your creativity and emotions, and don’t forget to ground.
august 7th ~ mercury turns direct~ time to move forward w/ communication, travel and legal plans you may have been considering these past 3 weeks.
~ venus enters cancer~ the sign of love and affection moves into the romantic sign of cancer~ this time offers opportunity to be close and increase intimacy within our relationships of all kinds.
august 9th y 10th~ venus trines neptune~ perfect for romance and good for all relationships.
august 12th and 13th ~ opportunity to view perseids meteor showers~ after midnight in the NE sky.
august 17th ~ new moon in leo~ new moon is always a great time to set an intention. when the sign of leo is involved it is good to focus on aspects of your life that have to do with success, excitement and love. what do you wish for? ask for it.
august 22 ~ sun enters virgo~ again shining light on romance and relationships.
august 31 ~ full moon in pisces “blue moon”~ gentle energies of forgiveness and letting go.

cosmic cafe~july 2012
after the cosmic happenings of may and june, july may, july allows us to feel more settled with ourselves and not so much like we are on a roller coaster ride. however, personally,
july continues to put emphisis on relationships as saturn is now direct and chiron and neptune continue in retrograde. these occurances cause us to continue to shift our perspective and see the truth regarding our relationships. for those of us still in our own transit regarding important relationships in our lives, all should be resolved (whether we like it or not), by the end of september this year.
we are in the midst of 6 squares between uranus and pluto, the first occurred june 24th and second occurs september 19th. between these squares these two planets maintain a position that create forces beyond our control, increasing the pressure of change and transformation...again, whether we like it or not~ yet trust dear ones, this is for the best.
july 3~full moon in capricorn~combine practicality with creativity and intuition~slow down and assess situations before proceeding.
july 13-december 13th~uranus retrograde~offering special opportunities for creativity
july 14-august 7~mercury retrograde~as all mercury retrogrades, this can cause challenges in communications, travel and technology, yet this retrograde offers a uniquely beneficial quality of creativity and as with other mercury retrogrades offers the opportunity for review and assessment of previous and current situations in our lives. take respite, review, clear and revise your expectations and plans for the future. 

july 18th~new moon in cancer~focus on self acceptance.
july 22nd~sun in leo~allowing for self confidence and self acceptance~

 

 

june 2012

TRANSFORMATION, FAITH, RELEASE

This month of June of offers opportunities for us to shed relationships- with others, with ourselves and with our belief systems that no longer serves to propel us toward our most authentic self.  For many of us this can prove not only to be challenging, but also painful. If we have faith enough to embrace the truth and release the illusions that covers that truth, true transformation can be obtained. Many of the planetary occurrences this year and in the past 3 years, leading up to 2012 and the ushering in of the Aquarian Age, have been rare and happen only once every 50, 150 or 250 years. These rare planetary alignments have been affecting governments, political structures, and economic issues. But, for most of us, we will feel this more than anywhere in our relationships with others as well as with ourselves. Hold on, believe that any unsettling emotions will eventually clear, and above all Have Faith that all things are working toward a better and more authentic existence for us all.

june 4th~ full moon / lunar eclipse- letting go
june 5th~ ~ rare venus transit of the sun- spiritual love
june 6th~ neptune retrograde in pisces until november11th- 
                                              creativity, spirituality, dreams

june 19th~ new moon in gemini- rebirth
june 20th~ sun in cancer / solstice- time to release the past
